Foreign Relations of the United States Diplomatic Papers, 1932, The American Republics, Volume V
722.2315/698
The Ambassador in Peru (Dearing) to the Secretary of State
Lima, October 17, 1932.
[Received October 27.]
Sir: I have the honor to refer to the Embassy's telegrams No. 208 of October 10, 8 p.m. and No. 210 of October 11, 4 p.m.,2 and to report further on the frontier disorders which occurred on October [Page 352]9th on the Zarumilla River, the boundary between the Peruvian department of Tumbes and the Ecuadorian province of El Oro.
The island called Pocitos on the Zarumilla River lies between an old river channel and the present channel, and is about eight miles long and eight miles wide on its longest dimensions. This island is claimed by both Peru and Ecuador, the Peruvians claiming that the old river channel is the dividing line while the Ecuadorians assert that the present river channel is the line.
This is a tobacco region and people from the Ecuadorian towns of Huaquillos and Chacras and from the Peruvian town of Zarumilla grow tobacco on Pocitos island. The Peruvian occupation has probably been more effective. The Ecuadorians ship their tobacco to Guayaquil and the Peruvians to Lima. In both cases the tobacco business furnishes a heavy item to the tax collectors.
During the past few months there has been talk of the passive Ecuadorian objection to Peruvian possession of Pocitos developing into concrete action. An Ecuadorian official commission visited the zone on July 21, 1932, with a view to preventing the events which occurred in October. The expedition was under Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Saona and is said to have arrested a group of Peruvians and taken them prisoners to Machala, Ecuador.
Both Ecuador and Peru maintain police and customs guards on this frontier. The present trouble seemed to have been precipitated on October 8th when an Ecuadorian telegraph operator named Manuel Muñoz, who was bathing in the river, was arrested by Peruvians. He was later released. It seems that a group of Ecuadorian police, customs guards, and civilians then went over into Pocitos and destroyed some of the Peruvian tobacco plants and tore down their fences. They were driven out by the Peruvian Civil Guard and retired to Chacras, where they were reorganized and an Ecuadorian force of about forty police and twenty customs guards returned and pushed the Peruvians back across the Zarumilla. One Peruvian farmer was killed. There are no reports available in Lima as to the number of wounded, if any. A number of shots were exchanged and for a time the situation was indeed serious. The Peruvians were led by the Prefect of Tumbes, who arrived during or after the skirmish, while Ecuador sent forty police and fifty armed volunteers from Machala under Acting Governor Jorge Barrezueta. It seems that the hostilities ceased through parleys between the Prefect and the Acting Governor. Peru has a censorship on news but it is believed that the Peruvians remained in possession of Pocitos, and it is certain that the frontier guards have been reinforced until Peru has at least three hundred men in the vicinity of Zarumilla.
The Lima press has minimized the incident which it states was an unimportant clash between frontier customs guards. It is understood that the matter must be arranged by the Foreign Offices of the two countries and has been so announced by both Peru and Ecuador.
Commander Guzman Marquina, the chief confidant and reliance of Sanchez Cerro, was sent by plane to the Ecuadorian frontier on October 14th and is reported to have straightened out the confusion and placed the situation on a plane whereby peace would be assured pending a settlement by diplomatic means.
It is natural that the Peruvian and Ecuadorian accounts of the genesis of this incident should differ. I have talked to Dr. Solon Polo at the Foreign Office and to the Ecuadorian Minister, Señor Aguirre Aparicio. Oddly enough, there was a similar incident at Zarumilla and Pocitos in 1907, at which time Dr. Polo was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Peru and Señor Aguirre was Ecuadorian Minister in Lima. A number of notes were exchanged after that incident and Peru seems to have had somewhat the better of these exchanges as they published them in a book, and also retained all or most of Pocitos island. At any rate, Polo and Aguirre have been experts on Pocitos for twenty-five years.
Doctor Polo stated that just prior to the 1907 incident, President Pardo of Peru, in order definitely to proclaim Peruvian ownership of the island, made a trip there and while physically standing on the disputed ground, sent a telegram to the President of Ecuador, with his greeting from Pocitos. The President of Ecuador accepted the situation and replied cordially.
Doctor Polo gave me a reference in the Boletín of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Año 5 No. XXII, beginning on page 2523 with a full discussion of the Zarumilla boundary arrangement. There was a map in the Boletín showing how the Zarumilla river had divided into two channels, an old one and a new one. The old channel or that to the north is, according to Doctor Polo, the real boundary and has been so accepted by Ecuador. Thus, the territory between the two channels, or Pocitos island, is Peruvian territory. The note from Doctor Polo to Señor Aguirre, dated October 28, 1907, enumerates many reasons why Pocitos should be considered as Peruvian and closes by saying (translated);
"Apart from the fact that the old channel is not completely closed up because in times of heavy rains there is a considerable quantity of water, the principles which rule international accession and which I do not repeat in order not to offend the well known erudition of Your Excellency, give to Peru unquestionable sovereignty over the lands comprised between the two channels of the river".
Doctor Polo now tells me that Peru has had the most friendly response from the Ecuadorian Government and its officials in the present incident, and that even the Ecuadorian Government officials along the border itself have been quick to cooperate in the suppression of trouble and to say that they have no ulterior intentions or motives. Doctor Polo thought the incident would not be magnified and gave me to understand that Peru certainly did not wish any difficulties or unfortunate developments in that quarter. He further stated that he was not yet very accurately informed and that while the news despatches had stated that the incident would be handled by the respective foreign offices, this did not indicate any particular gravity and that he was confident that the matter, which was unimportant, would soon blow over.
I was not able to see the Ecuadorian Minister until yesterday. Señor Aguirre gives an entirely different account from that furnished by Doctor Polo. He manifested that all Peruvian pretensions to Pocitos island are false and absurd; that the Zarumilla is the boundary and that the old channel is dried up and has had no water for two hundred years. As confirming this fact, eight of the oldest inhabitants of the region, four Peruvians and four Ecuadorians, were recently brought to the river and questioned regarding the old boundary. All of them made affidavits to the effect that they had never known the old bed of the river to be considered as the boundary.
Señor Aguirre states that the land in dispute is unquestionably Ecuadorian and that the situation contains serious possibilities; while Ecuador wants to be left alone, it will not stand for nonsense in this matter. Señor Aguirre stated that he has consistently warned the Foreign Office that it was in the wrong, and has promised to keep me informed of future developments.
A feature of this situation which is not being stressed in the Lima press is the likelihood that the Ecuadorians will be encouraged and incited by the numerous Aprista deportees now living in Ecuador. These include some of the most brilliant men of Peru and probably none of them will hesitate at any means to injure Sanchez Cerro.
While the attitude of the Peruvian public is apathetic toward this incident, it seems that there is considerably more interest in Ecuador. Peruvian censorship does not allow publication of any reports of the Ecuadorian reaction.
The interesting angle is, of course, the rapprochement between Ecuador and Colombia and the further isolation of Sanchez Cerro. Ecuadorian assistance would be tremendously useful to Colombia in the event of war with Peru, and the Leticia dispute and whatever [Page 355]comes from it will doubtless give Ecuador the best opportunity it has ever had to recover its former boundaries to the East.

2008 blev O'Malley talesperson för Time Warner Cable. 2009 började han porträttera den återkommande rollen Burt Hummel, pappa till karaktären Kurt i TV-serien Glee. Det är en roll som har glatt överraskat honom och lett till Tim Stack från Entertainment Weekly att säga, "Om Mike O'Malley inte vinner en Emmy för sin roll som Burt Hummel, så blir jag mycket besviken." Chris Colfer som spelar Burt's son Kurt, har sagt att hans relation med O'Malley utanför serien har förbättrat på kvaliteten i deras scener tillsammans.

I början av 2010 har O'Malley porträtterat en återkommande karaktär i TV-serien Parenthood. Han var även värd för The World's Funniest Office Commercials under 2010. Den 8 juli 2010 mottog O'Malley en Emmy-nominering i kategorin "Outstanding Guest Actor – Comedy Series" för sin roll som Burt Hummel i Glee. Innan den andra säsongen fick O'Malley en regelbunden roll i Glee. Den 8 augusti 2010 vann O'Malley en Teen Choice Award för kategorin "Parental Unit".

Film
O'Malley gjorde sin filmdebut 1998 i filmen Deep Impact, där han spelade Elijah Wood's astronomilärare. Han följde det med en stödjande roll i John Cusack/Billy Bob Thornton filmen om flygledare som går under titeln Pushing Tin. Under 2000 porträtterade han Oliver, en sexmissbrukare i Sandra Bullock filmen 28 dagar. 2005 medverkade O'Malley i Heather Locklear/Hilary Duff filmen The Perfect Man. 2007 hade han stödjande roller i George Clooney filmen Leatherheads och Eddie Murphy filmen Meet Dave.

O'Malley var en av personerna som intervjuades i filmen City of Champions: The Best of Boston Sports.

2009 deltog O'Malley i den amerikanska dokumentärfilmen The People Speak. I filmen medverkade han i ett segment med den politiska aktivisten Staceyann Chin.

Dramatiker
O'Malley är även en dramatiker. Hans två pjäser Three Years from Thirty och Diverting Devotion har blivit publicerade och producerade. Under 2003 producerades en tredje pjäs, Searching for Certainty i Los Angeles.

Annan media
Under 2007 bloggade O'Malley på Yahoo! Sports, som följde Boston Red Sox genom deras resa i slutspelen av MLB.

Privatliv
O'Malley föddes i Boston, Massachusetts och växte upp i Nashua, New Hampshire. Han är son till Marianne, en yrkesvägledare, och Tony O'Malley, en verkställande i försvarsindustrin. Han är av irländskt påbrå.

O'Malley och hans fru Lisa har fyra barn: Sioban, Fiona, Seamus och Declan. O'Malley tog examen vid Bishop Guertin High School 1984 i Nashua, New Hampshire. Han tog senare examen vid University of New Hampshire 1988, där han studerade teater.

2019 INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENTS CUP CAPTAIN ERNIE ELS WILL TEAM WITH TREVOR IMMELMAN IN ZURICH CLASSIC
Fellow South African Immelman won the Masters in 2008; Els has four major championships in his Hall of Fame career
NEW ORLEANS, LA (April 9, 2019)—International Presidents Cup team captain Ernie Els, who has won the U.S. Open and The Open Championship twice each, will team with 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman in this year's Zurich Classic, announced Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the tournament.
"This team adds two more major champions and players with extensive international team experience to our field," said Worthy. "As Presidents Cup captain, Ernie's being here helps highlight the potential connection between our unique format and the biennial International team competitions," added Worthy.
Els joins 2020 Ryder Cup captains Steve Stricker and Padraig Harrington in the Zurich Classic, giving this year's field three of the four captains for the upcoming biennial international team competitions. In addition, Els's teammate Trevor Immelman is one of the assistant captains for the international Presidents Cup team.
Els has won 19 PGA TOUR events and no fewer than 47 international tournaments in his Hall of Fame career. He currently ranks eighth in all-time PGA TOUR winnings with more than $49 million.
His last victory on the PGA TOUR was the 2012 Open Championship with a birdie on the 72ndhole to edge out Adam Scott by one stroke. That same year Els lost in a playoff for the Zurich Classic. Els also finished third in the New Orleans tournament in 2001.
In addition to his four major championship victories, Els has finished second six times in major tournaments.
In eight Presidents Cup appearances, he is tied with fellow Hall of Famer Vijay Singh for most matches (40) and ranks as the all-time leader in points won at 21 for the Internationals.
He also played on five World Cup teams and nine Dunhill Cup squads.
Fellow South African Immelman has won twice on the PGA TOUR, including the 2008 Masters after missing the first eight weeks of that season due to treatment and recovery from a benign tumor the year before. Despite scoring a double bogey on the 70th hole, the par 3 16th, Immelman finished with a score of 8 under par to win the Masters by three strokes.
He also finished fifth in the 2005 Masters and tied for sixth in the 2007 PGA Championship. In addition, he has won nine international tournaments. He was named 2006 Rookie of the Year on the PGA TOUR, when he scored 15 top 25 finishes in 24 starts.
He played on two International Presidents Cup teams and four World Cup squads.

Reg Preston (18 March 1917– 14 June 2000) studied sculpture at the Westminster School of Art in London, in 1938. At the beginning of WW2, he returned to Australia and spent three months in 1944 potting at the Melbourne Technical College with John A. Barnard Knight and Klytie Pate. Throughout 1945–1946, he worked at Cooper and Cooke's Pottery.

In 1947, he established a pottery studio at Warrandyte and worked full-time as a freelance potter. To make a living, he produced a range of domestic wares like coffee mugs, as well as larger decorative pieces like bowls and vases. In 1958, Preston and his wife, Phil Dunn, set up the Potters' Cottage at Warrandyte, Victoria, with Gus McLaren, Charles Wilton, and Artur Halpern.

Throughout this time, he continued to work in earthenware. For some time, he was also interested in working with the English slipware tradition and was also interested in using Aboriginal motifs. During the 1960s, Preston and Dunn produced a line under the name "Ceres", and Preston and McLaren also produced a line under the name 'Regus'.  In 1967, Preston began working in stoneware. Preston is perhaps best known for his work in stoneware, often large pieces with bold, abstract decorations, and his lidded shaped pieces with rich vitreous glazes over-poured or brushed with other metallic glazes. He worked well into the 1980s, producing often large pieces with rich glazes and bold abstract decoration.

Of his own work Reg Preston once said: "I quite simply make pots that please me. They are derived from a number of factors, the clay itself, the firing, other pots from other ages; these factors have over the years of work been gradually assimilated and become unconscious. The best ideas for me come from pots and from long bouts of continuous work. I find continuity of thought about the pots that I'm making day to day to be the time that is most fruitful. Occasionally when all the thought about the process, the technical knowledge merge and become one, then days later you might get from the kiln one or two pots that stand as it were 'on their own legs' detached and quite apart."(Reg Preston, 'Recent Ceramics, an exhibition from Australia', 1980).

Preston went on to become an acknowledged master and has pieces in collections such as the Powerhouse and Qut museums.

One clear benefit of this legislative session over the 2017 version is the lack of a so-called "bathroom bill," a needless distraction that could bring economic boycotts to Texas. Regrettably, the state Senate is going down that same road with a similar bill, and the House should refuse to go along, just as it did in 2017 with the bathroom bill.
At issue this time is Senate Bill 17, which would ostensibly protect licensed professionals such as doctors and accountants from disciplinary action from state boards when they act on "sincerely held religious beliefs" in their places of business. Unfortunately, that means being allowed to discriminate against gay or transsexual people, or people of another religion, in ways that are otherwise prohibited by state and federal laws.
Keep in mind that just as with the infamous bathroom bill, this is not a problem in Texas that needs fixing. Yet some lawmakers still feel compelled to provide a solution anyway.
Texans have — and should have — broad freedom to associate with whoever they want and to like or dislike something. That's a basic part of freedom. Yet that doesn't mean that employers should be able to refuse to hire someone of another religion or serve LGBT people in a restaurant. Those individuals have rights that must be respected.
Years ago, black people couldn't stay at certain hotels or enter certain stores. Texas and America should never go back to anything like that.
A coalition of major businesses like Amazon, Google and Apple have already come out against this bill, as have chambers of commerce and visitors bureaus. This is not the way corporate America operates these days, and that's a good thing. Smart businesses don't want to wall themselves off from any employees they need or customers they seek.
When Amazon was looking for a new headquarters location last year, a bill like this could have automatically disqualified major cities like Houston or Austin. Many organizations will not hold conventions in states that have discriminatory laws like this.
The new House speaker, Dennis Bonnen, is a conservative Republican, as was his predecessor Joe Straus, even though neither is far-right. Texas Republicans lost 12 House seats in November, trimming their margin to 83-67, mostly because of pushback against GOP hardliners.
If this bill comes to the House, it should die a quiet death so Texas can go on about its business. Our economy is doing well, but Texas still needs all the jobs and tax revenues we can create.


This holiday add some festive cheer to the appetizer table with this recipe for Christmas Holly Avocado Deviled Eggs. Made with avocado makes it extra creamy, delicious to eat and it's green. I love how the garnish turns it into a Christmas Holly without even trying. With this recipe just taking 15 minutes to make after boiling the eggs, you can whip this up in no time for your party.
In a medium bowl, add avocado, lime, cilantro, egg yolks from 3 whole yolks (discard the remaining yolks), salt and pepper to taste and optional cayenne pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth.
Optional: If using a piping bag and tip to fill the eggs, place the ingredients in a small food processor and pulse until smooth. This gives a smoother consistency and breaks down the cilantro better, which will avoid clogging the piping tip when adding the filling. Skip this step if you are simply spooning in the filling.
If piping the filling into the eggs, spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Fill each egg with avocado filling.
Note: This recipe should be prepared the same day as serving. The lime helps the avocado to keep its green color for several hours.
If you're looking for other holiday recipes, try these!

Last Friday saw the third installment of Longwood's Artist & Friends Speaker Series for Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience by Klip Collective. Two new panelists joined Ricardo Rivera, founding member of Klip Collective and mastermind of Nightscape, but the group's conversation about experience and storytelling picked up right where it left off in August. Yelena Rachitsky, Creative Producer of the Future of StoryTelling Summit, and Lance Weiler, Founding Member and Director of the Columbia University Digital Storytelling Lab, joined Rivera to discuss the intersection of human experience, technology, and narrative as it relates to Nightscape. The abstract nature of Nightscape is the common thread weaving through the Artist & Friends Speaker Series.

Favorite Part of Job? My favorite part of the job is having the opportunity to spend each day doing something I feel very passionate about. I get to work alongside my husband building and creating a business that we then get to share with our community and help impact their lives in a positive way.
Most Inspiring Mentor: My paternal grandfather (Pipere) was my most inspiring mentor. He taught me how to have the tough conversations and face things head on but also how to listen. He wasn't afraid of change or reinvention, even in his eighties he was still learning, growing and developing new skills. Everywhere he went he was making new friends and embracing life fully, truly an example of how to live with purpose and love.
Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: I once auditioned to be a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire when I was visiting a friend in NYC!
Favorite Vermont Escape: My favorite Vermont escape is Mountain Top Inn and Resort in Chittenden. I worked there for many years, it is also were Dan and I got engaged and had our wedding so it holds a special place in my heart. Each time we go up there I feel so at peace, it's like a breath of fresh air from our busy routine.
What is the best career advice you have received? There are no shortcuts to success; you have to put in the work. Don't be afraid to fail, failure is part of the success.
What motivated you to live and work in Vermont? The connection I have growing up in Vermont and going to college at UVM is what brought me back here to live and work. But what motivated me to stay was the surprising amount of opportunities that came my way while here. The ability to find a job and subsequently purchase a house at age 25, and now at age 32 owning our own business, engaging in our community and making an impact, is a fulfilling lifestyle I don't think I would have found anywhere else.
Career Highlights: I feel as though every job I have had has served a purpose in preparing me for the next step in my career, but at this point I would have to say my highlight has been making the transition to a business owner and working full-time with my husband. This role is very dynamic and I am learning and growing every day with new challenges. Although this has been the highlight so far, I still feel as though the best is yet to come.
Community Involvement: One of the best things about living in Vermont is the ability to connect with your community and make an impact. As an active member of Rutland Young Professionals serving both on the board of directors and on the events committee, I have had the opportunity to give back to our community in a variety of ways through the organization, whether it is a monthly mix, speaking to the youth of the county, or our annual Young Professionals Summit, RYP is the perfect avenue for me to be able to volunteer my time and skills. I take a lot of pride in engaging and inspiring other young professionals in the area to get involved and do great things.
In addition to RYP, in the past I have organized annual charity events for the Boys & Girls Club most recently in August of 2017. Currently I am volunteering on the planning committee for Winterfest, a regional week long family event that provides activities for kids during February vacation. Having a young family myself, I love being able to be a part creating such amazing and fun opportunities for families in our community.

We raise a variety of poultry here at Pleasant Valley Farm. We are passionate about raising heritage breeds of poultry. These are breeds that have been around for a long time and were developed on family farms such as ours. Unfortunately, many are in literal danger of extinction because they do not do well on factory farms, where the majority of today's livestock and poultry are raised. Raising these endangered breeds of poultry not only helps preserve a piece of our farming heritage, it also strengthens the genetic diversity of our food system. For more information on the importance of heritage breeds as well as information on all the wonderful creatures we refer to as heritage, please visit the Livestock Conservancy's website. They are a nonprofit dedicated to preserving heritage breeds, and we are members and support their mission.
We have a large incubator to hatch our own chicks and offer day old chicks for sale from early March through early June each year. Currently, we sell a variety of chickens, Bourbon Red Turkey, Cayuga and Khaki Campbell Ducks, Coturnix quail, and peafowl. All photos are of our own birds here on the farm, and some of the facts and dates were taken from Storey's Illustrated Guide to Poultry Breeds, a great book for anyone wanting to learn more about all the different varieties of poultry. More information about all the heritage breeds is available from The Livestock Conservancy as well. Please see our Chicks for Sale page for current information about buying live birds.

Chickens We Breed
Heritage Breed- Barred Plymouth Rock
The Plymouth Rock comes in a variety of colors, with barred referring to the black and white pattern you see here. This is the most common color, with many people shortening the name to Barred Rock. The Plymouth Rock originated in Massachusets in the 1860's. They are good layers of large brown eggs and lay well into the winter months without slowing down. With roosters reaching weights of 10 lbs at maturity, Rocks can also be used for meat birds. They are a cold-hardy breed with a docile temprement that can be kept inside or out. Because of this, they were America's most popular chicken breed until the 1950's, when commercial hybrids became popular with factory farms. The Barred Rock is still a great homesteading or backyard breed today. It is considered a recovering breed on The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priorities List.
Heritage Breed- Delaware
Delaware rooster, left, with 3 hens
These personable birds are Emily's favorites here at the farm. This breed was created in the 1940's by crossing Barred Rock roosters with New Hampshire hens. They lay a medium to large deep brown egg and are also commonly used for meat production. It was the number one meat bird breed in America for about 20 years, up until the invention of the Cornish-Rock hybrid. It shares many good qualities with the Barred Rock; Delawares are also cold hardy, dual-purpose, calm, and can be raised either in confinement or free range. Despite all of these wonderful qualities, the breed is in danger of becoming extinct. Pleasant Valley Farm is proud to be one of the breeders of this chicken, and we do offer chicks for sale in the spring from these birds. It is considered a breed to watch, improving from its status as critical, on The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priorities List.
Easter Eggers
This colorful bird is known as the "Easter egg" chicken because it lays a large egg with a greenish-blue shell. The birds themselves are colorful too, with colors ranging from black to white with many birds being golden, buff, brownish red or a combination of colors. They also sport muffs, large tufts of feathers just under the eyes, and beards, which are tufts under the beak. These are the only birds we raised that have pea combs, which are smaller and avoid frostbite even in the coldest weather.
Heritage Breed-Gold Laced Polish
Polish chickens are best known for their appearance, a crazy topknot of feathers that makes them seem as though they are wearing a wig. They are an old breed which was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874, but Polish chickens show up in European paintings as far back as the 1400's! Polish chickens come in a variety of colors. We raise the Gold Laced variety, which have golden feathers with striking black outlines. Our Polish are the standard (large) size, not the smaller bantam variety. Polish are a smaller chicken even at the standard size, so they will weigh less than our larger breeds such as the Delawares and Barred Rocks. They lay medium sized eggs which are white in color. They also make wonderful pets and backyard chickens as they are such fun to watch and are a docile breed. Polish are listed as a breed to Watch on the Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priorities List.
Black Copper Maran
Maran chickens are primarily known for their dark brown eggs, which are darker in color than any other breed of chicken. While not currently recognized as a heritage breed in America (they were not recognized as a breed by the APA until 2011), the origins of this breed trace back to France in the late 1800's. The name of the breed comes from the French town where they originated by crossing Langshan chickens with local game-type chickens. Marans come in a variety of colors. We have the Black Copper Marans, which have black feathers with an iridescent green sheen with reddish copper accents on the neck of both sexes as well as the hackle feathers. Our Marans have some feathering on their legs as well.
Please note that the hens in the photos are not fully mature.
Other Chickens
5 week old birds
Broilers are the only birds we do not hatch here at the farm. We raise Cornish-Rock hybrids, which we recieve through the mail from a commercial hatchery when they are just a day old. Although we prefer to use species that are self-reproducing, heirloom varieties on the farm, we simply cannot beat the performance of these hybrids. They go from cute and fuzzy to ready for your table in just 7-8 weeks, while any other breed takes 4-6 months. Although we use the same hybrid as the factory farms, they are raised in naturally on pasture. They are raised in small, bottomless pens (called chicken tractors) which are moved to fresh pasture daily. This benefits the birds by giving them lots of exercise, sunlight, grass and bugs to naturally supplement their diet of high protein feed. They are never fed any antibiotics or other harmful chemicals, such as arsenic, that factory farms use to enhance growth. And while the chicken you buy in grocery stores is "enhanced" with up to 20% of its weight consisting of salt water, you get 100% chicken when you buy your fresh or frozen whole chicken from Pleasant Valley Farm. We believe you'll taste the difference, too!
Other Poultry
Heritage Breed-Cayuga Ducks
Cayuga ducks are a breed developed in the Finger Lakes region of New York state in the early 1800's. It was recognized as a breed by the APA in 1874. They are best known for their striking beetle-black plumage. The feathers are black but have an iridescent sheen, much like the wings of our Black Shouldered peacock! Both drakes and hens have this beautiful luster. Originally developed as a meat breed, they grow to 7-8 pounds (live weight). They fell out of favor in the 1890's when Pekins became the standard duck raised for meat. These ducks are well adapted to our climate and are one of the hardiest ducks in the cold. They are great foragers and also can be easily tamed to make wonderful pets. Hens lay 100-150 large eggs a year which are good to eat and wonderful to bake with! They are listed as a breed to watch under the Livestock Conservancy Conservation Priorities list.
Heritage Breed-Khaki Campbell Ducks
Khaki Campbell ducks were developed in the late 1800's in England to produce roast duckling as well as for their attractive light brown plumage. By the 1920's, Khakis were best known for their laying abilities as a single hen could lay as many as 340 medium sized duck eggs per year! Hens typically begin to lay at 5-7 months of age, like most chickens. Khaki Campbells are a very energetic duck and do best with plenty of room to move and forage. They are also listed as a breed to watch by the Livestock Conservancy.
Coturnix Quail
These are the jumbo quail raised for meat or eggs. They grow incredibly fast, reaching full maturity at just 8 weeks of age. They will weigh 10-12 ounces at that time, one of the largest varieties of quail available. They also begin laying eggs at that time. Eggs are brown and white speckled. They do fly and need a pen with an enclosed top to keep them in. These quail are calm and almost friendly.
Heritage Breed- Bourbon Red Turkey
Gobbles, Our Bourbon Red Tom
In 2010 we entered the world of heritage turkeys. These birds are long lived, slow growing, naturally reproducing, and all heritage breeds were on the verge of extinction due to the use of the Broad Breasted White turkey. The BB White is the dominant meat breed, making up 99% of all the turkeys raised, sold and eaten in the US today.
The Bourbon Red is currently the most popular heritage breed of turkey. It was developed around the turn of the century in Kentucky and Pennsylvania and is featured on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste program for its exceptional flavor and its relative rarity. We are excited to be a breeder of these relatively rare birds, as we began hatching our first poults in early April, 2011. Bourbons are a beautiful reddish-brown with white accents on their wing & tail feathers. They are currently considered a breed to watch on The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priorities List.
Emily holding a Black Shouldered peahen
Most people know peafowl as peacocks, but that name really refers only to the males. The females are called peahens. While peacocks most commonly come in shining blue or albino white, there are actually 185 recognized color variations that exist. We have two color varieties. Most of our peafowl are the Blue India variety, the typical blue and green males and the females are mostly brown. We also have the Black Shouldered variety. The males look similar to the Blue India, but have black shoulders while the females are nearly white. Our peafowl were hatched in July of 2008, and we were very excited to collect our first eggs in late May 2010. Peafowl live longer than most birds and it is not uncommon for them to live into their 50's (yes, in human years!) so they start laying eggs at a much older age than most birds. Also, it can take three years for the males to grow the full tails for which they are known. Each eyespot on the male's tails is a separate feather. Each year, around early August, they molt and lose each and every one. With three males, this can be over 500 individual feathers! This also means the feathers you see for sale in the farm stand and in our jewelry was painlessly harvested, as they were done with it. It takes approximately 6 months for the males to regrow their tails each year. The best times to view the peacocks putting on a show is late May through the end of July, with the best displays usually occurring in the morning or evening on hot summer days.. The pen is viewable from your car, so you can drive by anytime!
Toulouse Geese
A goose with her newly hatched gosling
The Toulouse is a very old breed of barnyard geese. They originated in France, were brought to England in the late 1700's and to America in the mid-1800's. They are one of the largest domestic geese, weighing over 20 lbs, and are sometimes used for meat production. They are cold hardy and good foragers, finding all their own food except in the hardest months of winter, when we supplement their diet. They are sometimes called the "watchdogs of the barnyard" because their loud honking will alert farmers to anything out of the ordinary, be it visitors in the driveway or coyotes near the livestock. Our geese are not aggressive unless defending their nests in the spring. A Toulouse goose can lay up to 20 eggs in the spring, and must sit on them for a month to hatch goslings. The goslings can swim from birth and the entire flock spends much time on our pond. While the young will mature in less than a year, these birds can live to be over 100 years old. Unfortunately, the incubator settings that work well for our chicks, turkeys, and ducklings is not suitable for hatching goose eggs with much success, so we typically do not offer goslings for sale.

Q: Changing table row color per two rows I have an HTML table and would like to change the row color every two rows, for two rows at a time. I don't mean selecting every other row using nth-child(even), which is all I keep seeing in my search engine results. I'm trying to set the background color of rows 1 and 2, then 5 and 6, then 9 and 10...and so on, leaving the other rows with the default white background.
I've tried using :nth-child(2n+b) and I don't think it's possible using that pseudo-selector. The tables are dynamically generated and will fluctuate in row count, so hard coding is not an option.
Is there some sort of JavaScript way to do this?

A: It's definitely possible using CSS's :nth-child() notation:
tr:nth-child(4n + 1) td,
tr:nth-child(4n + 2) td {
    background-color: #ffa;
}

tr:nth-child(4n + 3) td,
tr:nth-child(4n + 4) td {
    background-color: #f90;
}

JS Fiddle demo.

A: This is the solution for your problem in php. Hope you can convert it into your required javascript.

$n = "#666";
$c = 0;
$p = 0;
while($c < 9){
if($p%2 == 0){
$n = ($n == "#666")?"#FFF":"#666";
$p=0;
}
$c++;
}

Japan fast-breeder reactor may restart in Feb
TOKYO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Japan's experimental fast-breeder nuclear reactor will be restarted as early as February 2010 after repeated delays in final safety checks, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) said on Wednesday.
The 280-megawatt Monju plant, designed to produce more nuclear fuel than it consumes, has been shut since December 1995 following a massive leak of liquid sodium, just months after the reactor first started power transmission.
A JAEA spokesman said the company's top executive told the local Fukui Prefecture earlier in the day that the restart is scheduled by the end of March at the latest.
JAEA in January had postponed the restart schedule indefinitely from the previous target of February 2009 to take into account repair work on holes discovered in the reactor's auxiliary building and other safety checks.
The Monju plant is located in Fukui prefecture, 400 km (250 miles) west of Tokyo.
Fast-breeder reactors have been beset by technical difficulties and many countries have abandoned the costly programmes.
Monju is a cornerstone of resource-poor Japan's nuclear fuel cycle programme, with the government spending more than 860 billion yen ($9.02 billion) on it. ($1=95.35 Yen) (Reporting by Osamu Tsukimori; Editing by Joseph Radford)

Advantages : Excellent foam boosting; Softening and foam stabilizing ability; Antistatic properties; Great viscosity building properties; Favourable biodegradability.
Useful Properties : Dodecyl / tetradecyl dimethylamine oxide 30% is good detergent for oily and greasy substances like a water-soluble cleansing agent it combines with impurities and dirt to make them more soluble, and differs from soap in not forming a scum with the salts in hard water. It is good lime-soap dispersant, explaining its widely usage for production of high foaming laundry products and bathroom cleaners. Gentle to skin, make clothes soft and smooth, make hair glossy, shiny and easy to comb. Compatible with anionic, cationic, amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants.
Application : commonly used in consumer products such as shampoos, conditioners, detergents, cleansers (dish washing liquids, car washing agents, hand soaps and a wide range of other cleaners). It also serves as stabilizers, thickeners, emollients, emulsifiers and conditioners with active concentrations in the range of 0.110%. Can be used as sterilizing agent and antistatic agent, as a coagulant during metal plating, as an initiating agent or inhibiting agent in polymerization.


Notice that the preferred options are only suggestions. It's always possible to win the game no matter where you start.
Australia is an excellent secure base away from the other players. This continent is quick to conquer and easy to defend, although often it's one of the continents where most players compete.
When there are 5 or 6 players, you can be sure that two or three others players will go for Australia and this could result in quick defeat and annihilation.
A few (un)lucky dice rolls can make the difference as to who will win and who will lose in the beginning.
It doesn't mean that you have to ignore Australia to be your target continent. In fact, it's always a decent location to place your first country pick. When armies are being placed, you might find that you can set enough troops here to guarantee its conquest.
This continent also has four countries, and this makes it easier to capture. It's a little bit more difficult to hold as it's south of North America and west of Africa. Even so, it's still easy to protect because it has just two entrances.
Once a player can hold South America, it's a good idea to launch assaults on North America. On the other hand, when another player holds North America, then it's tough to defend because of the 8 to 5 imbalance of armies every turn.
Africa is not such a worry for South America because it earns only one extra army while that continent has even to protect more borders so the African player has too many other concerns to invade South America arbitrarily.
While the continent is quite easy to conquer, it's difficult to hold because North Africa forms part of a natural invasion route that runs from the Middle East, through Southern Europe and North Africa and ends up in Brazil.
As African player, you have to defend three fronts to protect against three different continents.
Once conquered, Africa expands slowly by first capturing the Middle East, then Southern Europe, etc.
But still, because of the central location, Africa keeps always subject to big threats. That's why Africa has to turtle and build up significant defensive forces and launch only assaults when other players don't expect it.
North America is a mighty continent. Once you own it, you get 5 bonus armies per turn while it has only tree border territories.
It's tough to dislodge a player from North America once he establishes a strong defense.
The North American player should expand through South America where he can overwhelm his opponent easy because of the 8 to 5 imbalance of armies.
However, the player should also invade Europe or Asia to prevent the players there to maintain full control of their continent.
Still, the North American player has early on to fear mostly South America because this player has no other option than to attack North America to survive.
Europe is relatively easy to take, but because of its central location, and many borders, it's so hard to hold. The player conquering Europe is must be an opportunist.
If you go for Europe, you have to conquer it quickly and use the bonus armies to secure it because permanently securing will be very hard as seven surrounding territories can attack it.
Southern and eastern Europe usually receive mutual support.
As European player, you always have to maintain the balance of power because all continents (except Australia is not more than two conquered countries away.
To target Asia early on is almost always suicidal. The big bonus of 7 extra armies per turn is too big for other players to allow you to hold Asia.
While Australia is a small continent, Asia has to fear Australia a lot because it has only one outlet through Siam. On the west side, Africa can quickly take the Middle East and hold it attacks. At the North East, North America is a real threat. And last but not least, Europe will also prevent Asia to become too powerful.
Asia is often a card harvesting continent. It usually has few armies occupying countries, and it's the perfect play to take a territory when only a card is wanted.

"We must never forget that it is principles, not phenomena, — laws not insulated independent facts, — which are the objects of inquiry to the natural philosopher."
— John Herschel English mathematician, astronomer, chemist and photographer 1792 - 1871
A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy (1831), Context: We must never forget that it is principles, not phenomena, — laws not insulated independent facts, — which are the objects of inquiry to the natural philosopher. As truth is single, and consistent with itself, a principle may be as completely and as plainly elucidated by the most familiar and simple fact, as by the most imposing and uncommon phenomenon. The colours which glitter on a soapbubble are the immediate consequence of a principle the most important, from the variety of phenomena it explains, and the most beautiful, from its simplicity and compendious neatness, in the whole science of optics. If the nature of periodical colours can be made intelligible by the contemplation of such a trivial object, from that moment it becomes a noble instrument in the eye of correct judgment; and to blow a large, regular, and durable soap-bubble may become the serious and praise-worthy endeavour of a sage, while children stand round and scoff, or children of a larger growth hold up their hands in astonishment at such waste of time and trouble. To the natural philosopher there is no natural object unimportant or trifling. From the least of nature's works he may learn the greatest lessons. The fall of an apple to the ground may raise his thoughts to the laws which govern the revolutions of the planets in their orbits; or the situation of a pebble may afford him evidence of the state of the globe he inhabits, myriads of ages ago, before his species became its denizens. And this, is, in fact, one of the great sources of delight which the study of natural science imparts to its votaries. A mind which has once imbibed a taste for scientific inquiry, and has learnt the habit of applying its principles readily to the cases which occur, has within itself an inexhaustible source of pure and exciting contemplations. One would think that Shakspeare had such a mind in view when he describes a contemplative man as finding
— Nikolai Berdyaev Russian philosopher 1874 - 1948
Spirit and Reality (1946), Context: Spirit, like flame, like freedom, like creativeness, is opposed to any social stagnation or any lifeless tradition. In terms of Kantian philosophy — terms which I consider erroneous and confusing — spirit appears as a thing in itself and objectification as a phenomenon. Another and truer definition would be, spirit is freedom and objectification is nature (not in the romantic sense). Objectification has two aspects: on the one hand it denotes the fallen, divided and servile world, in which the existential subjects, the personalities, are materialized. On the other it comprehends the agency of the personal subject, of spirit tending to reinforce ties and communications in this fallen world. Hence objectification is related to the problem of culture, and in this consists the whole complexity of the problem. In objectification there are no primal realities, but only symbols. The objective spirit is merely a symbolism of spirit. Spirit is realistic while cultural and social life are symbolical. In the object there is never any reality, but only the symbol of reality. The subject alone always has reality. Therefore in objectification and in its product, the objective spirit, there can be no sacred reality, but only its symbolism. In the objective history of the world nothing transpires but a conventional symbolism; the idea of sacredness is peculiar to the existential world, to existential subjects. The real depths of spirit are apprehensible only existentially in the personal experience of destiny, in its suffering, nostalgia, love, creation, freedom and death. p. 52
"The objective of social change might concern the nutritional standard of consumption, the economic standard of living, the type of group relation, the output of a factory, the productivity of an educational team. It is important that a social standard to be changed does not have the nature of a "thing" but of a "process.""
— Kurt Lewin German-American psychologist 1890 - 1947
1940s, Quasi-Stationary Social Equilibria and the Problem of Permanent Change, 1947, p. 39.
"Man is biologically predestined to construct and to inhabit a world with others. This world becomes for him the dominant and definite reality. Its limits are set by nature, but, once constructed, this world acts back upon nature. In the dialectic between nature and the socially constructed world the human organism itself is transformed. In this same dialectic man produces reality and thereby produces himself."
— Peter L. Berger, The Social Construction of Reality
The Social Construction of Reality, 1966, p. 183 (1966); (1991; p. 208)
"If dialectical logic understands contradiction as "necessity" belonging to the very "nature of thought," … it does so because contradiction belongs to the very nature of the object of thought, to reality, where Reason is still Unreason, and the irrational still the rational. Conversely, all established reality militates against the logic of contradictions — it favors the modes of thought which sustain the established forms of life and the modes of behavior which reproduce and improve them. The given reality has its own logic and its own truth; the effort to comprehend them as such and to transcend them presupposes a different logic, a contradicting truth. They belong to modes of thought which are non-operational in their very structure; they are alien to scientific as well as common-sense operationalism. … These modes of thought appear to be a relic of the past, like all non-scientific and non-empirical philosophy. They recede before a more effective theory and practice of Reason."
— Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man
One-Dimensional Man (1964), p. 142
"Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself."
— Alan Watts British philosopher, writer and speaker 1915 - 1973
Context: Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself. Just as the word "water" is a noise that symbolizes a certain liquid without being it, so too the idea of ego symbolizes the role you play, who you are, but it is not the same as your living organism. Buddhism : The Religion of No-Religion
"The object of a dialogical-liberterian action is not to 'dislodge' the oppressed from a mythological reality in order to 'bind' them to another reality. On the contrary, the object of dialogical action is to make it possible for the oppressed, by perceiving their adhesion, to opt to transform an unjust reality."
— Paulo Freire educator and philosopher 1921 - 1997
Pedagogia do oprimido (Pedagogy of the Oppressed) (1968, English trans. 1970)
"Viewed from the standpoint of social science, society is composed of individuals organized in occupational groups, each group fulfilling some function of the society. Taking this fact into account, psychology – the science of human nature and human consciousness – is able to make at least one general assertion as to the form a given society must take if it is to persist as a society. It must be possible for the individual as he works to see that his work is socially necessary; he must be able to see beyond his group to the society."
— Elton Mayo Australian academic 1880 - 1949
Democracy and freedom. 1919, p. 37
"The individual representation of the object, treated sympathetically or anti-pathetically, is highly necessary and is an enrichment to the world in form. The elimination of the human relationship causes the vacuum which makes all of us suffer in various degrees – an individual alteration of the details of the object represented is necessary in order to display on the canvas the whole physicals reality."
— Max Beckmann German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor and writer 1884 - 1950
1930s, On my Painting (1938), pp. 17-18
"The child does not internalize the world of his significant others as one of many possible worlds… It is for this reason that the world internalized in primary socialization is so much more firmly entrenched in consciousness than worlds internalized in secondary socialization…. Secondary socialization is the internalization of institutional or institution-based 'sub worlds'… The roles of secondary socialization carry a high degree of anonymity… The same knowledge taught by one teacher could also be taught by another… The institutional distribution of tasks between primary and secondary socialization varies with the complexity of the social distribution of knowledge"
The Social Construction of Reality, 1966, p. 129-147

More than 50 people are feared dead and more than 150 injured as several wildfires rage out of control in Greece. Fire crews are battling blazes in the following locations: northeast of Athens in the Penteli region, Rafina region and the coastal seaside towns of Mati and Kineta. Greece is currently experiencing heatwave conditions with temperatures exceeding 104°F (40°C), and the fires are being fanned by high winds.
The Athens-Corinth motorway has been closed by authorities. The motorway is one of two major routes to the Peloponnese peninsula. Train and other transport services in affected areas been canceled.
A state of emergency has been declared, and the Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, has cut short a trip to Bosnia to return home. Spain and Cyprus have offered firefighting assistance.
Travelers in Greece should heed government warnings and keep up to date with local news and alerts. Those with respiratory health issues should travel away from affected areas and avoid breathing in the smoke where possible.

Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
adapted by Ken Ludwig
directed by Risa Branin
March 3 - 29, 2020
the ultimate whodunit
A luxury train trapped in a snowdrift, a dining car full of glamorous passengers, a dead body with multiple stab wounds, a suspicious intruder who keeps disappearing, and mysterious links to a far-distant murder case. Hercule Poirot, the world's greatest detective, must interrupt his holiday to solve this fiendishly intricate and clever plot—before the snow is cleared and the train moves on. A golden-age detective story springs to life from the pages of the world's best-selling author.
APPROXIMATE RUN TIME: 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission
Murder on the Orient Express is a thrilling Agatha Christie whodunit and contains profanity and onstage violence. Recommended for patrons 9th grade and above. Recommended for patrons 5th grade and above. Due to content and length, children under 4 years of age are not permitted in the OneAmerica Mainstage and Upperstage Theatres. Learn more about our attendance policies here.
Artistic Note:
"After directing Jeffrey Hatcher's Holmes and Watson last season, it is exciting to come back to IRT and work on a very different kind of mystery play: Ken Ludwig's adaptation of Agatha Christie's masterpiece Murder on the Orient Express. It is widely believed that the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's son in 1932 inspired the sub-plot of this 1934 novel. When Christie wrote the book, the killer was still at large. The play begins with a kidnapping reminiscent of the real one, but quickly transports us to Istanbul where we meet 10 delicious characters about to take a journey on the luxurious Orient Express. These complex, eccentric, passionate individuals hail from all over the globe from all walks of life. And they all have secrets! Put them together on a train stranded in a heavy snowstorm, and who can tell what might happen? I can tell you these ingredients make for a highly entertaining evening in the theatre." –Risa Brainin, Director of Murder on the Orient Express

Ett barns likfärd () är en oljemålning av den finländske konstnären Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905) från 1879. Den är utställd på Ateneum i Helsingfors sedan 1907.

Edelfelt började sin målarbana som historiemålare (till exempel Drottning Blanka) men blev i slutet av 1870-talet en stor förespråkare av franskt friluftsmåleri.

Ett barns likfärd visar sex högtidsklädda personer som roende för ett barn i en kista till sin sista vila en stilla sommardag. Målningen tillkom utanför Borgå där Edelfelts mor 1879 hyrde en sommarvilla på Haiko herrgårds mark. Edelfelt återkom till Borgå hela sitt liv och 1883 byggde han en ateljé där som nu är ett museum, Albert Edelfelts ateljémuseum.

Edelfelt ställde ut målningen på salongen i Paris där den belönades med en medalj av tredje klassen. Det var den dittills största internationella framgången för finländskt måleri.
