San Blas was founded in 1531, but the official date of founding is 1768, when Don Manuel Rivera and 116 families arrived on the orders of the Viceroy of New Spain, Marqués de Croix, under the supervision of José de Gálvez, who was visitador general ("inspector") of New Spain.
San Blas was the port from which the Spanish priest Junípero Serra, Father President of the California Missions, departed for California. He left on March 12, 1768 from the nearby Las Islitas beach on Matanchen Bay, on the locally built barque Purísima Concepción.
In May 1768, San Blas was designated as a new naval base for the Spanish Navy. At first, only two ships were assigned to the port: the packet ship San Carlos, commanded by Juan Pérez, and El Principe, commanded by Vicente Vila. Gálvez ordered four new vessels to be built, one of which was the schooner Sonora, later sailed in 1775 by Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra to Alaska.[2]
On March 16, 1775, the San Carlos was set to depart San Blas, Mexico, for San Francisco Bay, stopping in Monterey to unload supplies for the mission there. The vessel was a product of the shipyard established on the Santiago River. Her length was 58 feet, the officers and men numbered 30. The voyage was delayed 3 days, until the first officer, 30-year-old Juan Manuel de Ayala, subdued the commander, "who had lost his wits and had to be taken back to port." The captain had been threatening the crew with loaded firearms and "without proper safeguards". Officer Ayala shot himself in the right foot while securing the weapons, but they sailed for San Francisco on March 19 under his command. They reached Monterey Bay on June 25. After a month there, she sailed, and arrived off the "yet unexplored Golden Gate". A land party had seen the south bay having traveled overland from Monterey. A first mate named Jose de Canizares entered in a long boat, being the first recorded European to enter what is now known as San Francisco Bay.
From its founding, the naval base provided logistical support for the Franciscan missions of Alta California. As the number of missions grew, San Blas was required to send supply voyages more frequently, taxing the naval base's small fleet and finances. San Blas also became the base for Spanish expeditions to the Pacific Northwest. From 1789 to 1795, San Blas was responsible for establishing and maintaining the Spanish post at Nootka Sound and Fort San Miguel. For about twenty years in the late 18th century, San Blas was one of the busiest ports and shipbuilding centers on the Pacific coast of the Americas, rivaling Acapulco, the eastern terminus of the trans-Pacific Manila galleon convoy.[2]
A dock in San Blas
In many ways, San Blas was a poor choice for a deep sea harbor and settlement. The harbor was so small that it could never hold more than four ships at a time. Silting caused by the nearby Río Grande de Santiago resulted in the need for the harbor to be regularly dredged. The climate's stifling humidity and torrential rains from July to October, coupled with extensive mangrove swamps that surrounded the settlement, resulted in San Blas being plagued by clouds of voracious mosquitoes. A variety of sicknesses were endemic, including dysentery, typhoid fever, malaria, and other fevers.[2] Naval officers and workers regularly complained about the climate. When Alessandro Malaspina visited in 1791, he found San Blas's climate so unhealthy that he refused to stay there, instead transferring his operations and some of San Blas's ships and personnel to Acapulco. San Blas's location was useful and logical, however, because it minimized travel time from Guadalajara and Mexico City without increasing the total distance to the Californias. Also, the area around San Blas had a plentiful supply of hardwoods useful for ship building and repair. Fresh water was also available year round.[2]
A hillside fort was built in 1770 to defend the town's extensive sea trade with the Philippines. Its front has stone carvings of the kings of Spain. On the hill behind the fort are the ruins of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built in 1769. The ruins once contained the bronze bells that are said to have inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The Bells of San Blas". The ruins of a 19th-century customs house are on Calle Benito Juárez, three blocks from the main plaza.
During the colonial period, hardwood forests provided the raw materials for ships that did a brisk trade with the Philippines and the Manila galleon until the shipping moved to the port at Manzanillo, and later to Acapulco.
At its height, the town had 30,000 inhabitants and became headquarters of Spain's General of the Southern Seas.
Yaqui deportations
During the 1900s, San Blas served as the arrival port for thousands of Yaqui men, women and children forcibly removed from their lands and sold into slavery.[3] At San Blas, these families were forcibly marched 200 miles to San Marcos and its train station.[3] Those who did not die on the march were sold into slavery at San Marcos, where they were deported to the sugar cane plantations in Oaxaca, the tobacco planters of the Valle Nacional, and the henequen plantation owners of the Yucatán for use as slave labor.[3] Most of the enslaved workers died within the first year of their captivity.[3]

The area is noted for its surfing. Playa de Matanchen was famous for having the longest surfable wave in the world, as listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. A hurricane and subsequent storm surge filled part of the bay with sand, greatly reducing the size of the waves.
The area has an abundance of migratory birds in the surrounding estuaries and lowland palm forests, attracting significant numbers of birders. The Christmas Bird Count regularly finds well over 200 species, with a record 292 species in 1983.[5]
The town is also a gateway, along with the nearby village of Matanchen, to the La Tovara park, an extensive mangrove forest and federally protected nature preserve accessible by small boat.
The formerly elegant Playa Hermosa, built in 1951, is on a lonely and beautiful stretch of beach about a mile from the plaza. In the 1960s, Hollywood had a brief hideaway flirtation with San Blas when actors, including Lee Marvin, discovered San Blas for its fishing. The hotel is now abandoned.

The Day Titanic Drowned
by Tom Sheehan
We were sitting on empty nail kegs next to his icehouse on the edge of Lily Pond in Saugus, Doc Sawyer and me, talking about everything and nothing in particular. It was his way of communicating. In his gray felt hat, shirt collar buttoned but with no tie, Mackinaw open so I could see red suspenders clasped at his paunch, Doc always had time to talk to kids, dropping lore and legend in his wake. "Where you're sitting right now, son, is the geographical middle of our town. It's right under your feet, or," and he chuckled, "under your butt." I felt special, being ten years old, on the inside where real data was concerned.
He was full of tidbits like that. "Bazooka Bobby Burns scored the first touchdown on that field when it was dedicated this past fall," he said, pointing across Appleton Street to Stackpole Field, re-dedicated in 1938, "and young Jackie Harrington scored the second one. You watch that young one now." He could make declarations, too.
It was Saturday. It was cold again, as it had been for a good spell, and the ice cutting would begin today, the temperature holding below freezing for more than a week. On the pond the ice was over fourteen inches thick, thick enough to hold the small army of men soon to be on it. Morning light fell gray yet vivid across the face of the pond, and it raced off toward the island in the middle and the Turnpike beyond. It was a long skate from one end of the pond to the other. Some skating days it paid to bring lunch.
Crows were sending brittle messages to each other out across the frozen surface, over the cliff on Cliff Road, into the woods. Now and then I could hear the tires on a truck as it ran north to Maine or Canada on the Turnpike. Sounds ran over the pond as though they came through a funnel. Old Doc turned as he heard hoof beats on the pavement of Summer Street running alongside Stackpole Field. Like a drummer playing games, I thought.
The biggest horse I had ever seen in my ten years came down the street, and Mitch Crocker was guiding him with a set of long reins, not snapping them but laying them easy on that great back. That horse was so big it even made Doc stand up and take off his hat. He shook his head, light bouncing off his glasses, and said, "Where'd you come on him, Mitch? Win him in a game?"
Horses in those days always awed me, fearsome things, huge as boulders, with great teeth and hooves like catcher's mitts. Horses hauled milk wagons, and honey wagons, and now in winter the clumsy snow plows behind them, dragging on their muscles, calling on their hearts. This one with Mitch Crocker was a tower of an animal, dark chestnut in color. His teeth were yellow and enormous and now and then he'd pull his lips back to show them to you. Steam pulsed from his mouth like any other great engine of a thing.
"What's his name?" Doc said, laying a hand on the rippled neck, rubbing that fur coat smoothly, easily, talking another way, something closeted in his voice.
"I call him Titanic," Mitch said, "though I don't expect him to answer none. "He don't happen to answer to any name unless he downright feels like it. So names don't make any difference and one's as good's another."
"For the ship?" Doc said. The horse's eyes were a mix of lime green and yellow, and deep, as if he were reading my mind. I figured he had already read Mitch's mind. I looked away from those eyes.
"As well as any I could pick on, specially for size," Mitch said. "It'll do until another comes along. This boy can take care of all your hauling today, Doc." He patted Titanic on his broad chest. "Drag all the floes into place, get them up on to the ramp so's they can be cranked up and stored. Yessir, do it all."
For a few hours that Saturday I watched the strange army of itinerant ice cutters saw and chink up the ice of Lily Pond, saw Titanic with long chains hitched to his leather gear easily haul the huge cakes of ice to the slabbing point and transport up the chain-driven ramp to where they'd get buried under shavings and saw-dust. Easily and steadily he worked, the steam puffing in great clouds from his mouth and circling around his head like halos. Now and then, as if to reaffirm who was really in charge, he'd throw off a head-shaking command and bring attention to himself.
Never a sound came from his throat.
Throughout the morning old Doc Sawyer kept nodding his head, admiring that animal as if he'd never seen his like before.
Noon crawled toward us, still cold, still steamy about that great beast. Then the heart leap came and a fearful noise, a renting, a crashing. It was just before lunch when Titanic went down. I heard a yell, a scream, the unforgettable thundering noise as though a crack was going to sprint the length of the pond, and Titanic was in the water. In the deepest part of the pond. His legs thrashed at the ice, breaking off huge chunks, the noise like an enormous ice machine at work, like an icebreaker in frozen Boston Harbor I'd seen before. The ice under my feet shook.
The day stood still for me.
I'd never before seen a huge creature like him frightened, and his eyes said just that. They were like baseballs. Yellow-green baseballs, all wet and frosty, with tunnels behind them and all kinds of talk in them. He made sounds, too, desperate sounds down in his lungs, deeply bellowed sounds inside that huge canister of a chest and they came blurting out of his mouth along with the torrent of steam. Could have been grenades going off beneath the water.
Everybody leaped to grab chains and ropes, to pull that thrashing and ponderous beast out onto the surface of the pond. But the ice kept breaking under his hooves. And he tired and sank two or three times and came back up thrashing and kicking more, and the steam rising off his great back. The chains snarled and came caught up in ropes, and in his legs I suppose. You could see the lines of them somehow get shorter and shorter. There was no slack in them at all. None of the men could steer or drag that ship of a horse onto the top of the ice.
Mitch Crocker, just before Titanic went down for the last time, dropped a length of chain from his bare hands. He blew into his cupped hands and tried to rub them. He was wet all over, dark stains growing across his clothes. His thick fur hat bobbed in the water. Then a last bubble came circling around it where Titanic's lungs had let go for the final time.
Doc Sawyer put his arm around Mitch's shoulders. "That was some animal, Mitch. I'm really sorry for your loss." I remember thinking it was like standing in line at the funeral parlor. Everybody sad, their heads down, striking for one correct word, a passable word. Cold and quiet were twin elements around us.
In the water all the bubbles had gone.
Then, about five minutes later, itinerant ice cutters in odd clothes and knee-high leather boots and kids and on-lookers still standing quietly on the ice, about ten or twelve feet of chain, yet laying out on top of the ice as though remnants of a disaster, just slipped off the edge link by link and went down out of sight. Perhaps one last lunge by that great horse.
When all the noise was made about the movie of the same name in these recent years, I thought about the other Titanic going down. I remembered how quiet it was after, how cold, the last hunk of chain, getting dragged off the ice, still making a connection.

Video Piracy is Targeting Most Streaming Devices and Sports
Benedicte Guichard| Mon Dec 12 2016 CET| Live pay-per-view
Do you remember those terrible pirated DVDs that when watched, displayed the sound of crunching popcorn and creaking cinema seats? These illegally pirated copies plagued the film industry for many years, until the likes of OTT and SVOD came along.
But where there's quality content, there are always pirates and now the epidemic has spread, digitally.
A recent survey from the Digital Citizens Alliance showed that 55% of 18 to 29-year-olds have recently visited a content theft, or pirate site, to watch a movie or listen to music. 72% of the same demographic also confirmed that they would steer clear of these kinds of sites if they knew that they could expose them to malware, ransomware, identity theft, or financial loss.
In reality, around 30% of visits to pirate sites exposed the user to malware, ransomware, identity theft, and other such digital dangers.
Streaming media devices and the sports niche are under siege
Now, content piracy has its way of spreading through the veins of the web like a disease, and many of the big streaming media devices have been hit, chiefly Android and Informir Mag 250/254, as the chart shows:
Source: Irdeto
Also, just to illustrate the magnitude of the piracy situation, it's worth mentioning that even live sports have been affected, with baseball, football, mixed sporting events, and tennis the biggest content theft victims.
But, despite piracy spreading across cable, satellite, and OTT services like wildfire, there are ways content providers can protect themselves.
How publishers can protect themselves? The answer is: convenience
One of the main points of focus a content provider can offer to compete against these waves and waves of digital pirates is convenience. Time taken to think about what pirates are offering regarding service, devices, and features can give valuable insights into business strategy decisions.
Think about vital areas of your service including:
any devices your platform may not be optimised for;
the level of visual quality you offer your consumers compared to some of the web's most popular pirates;
how much flexibility you offer concerning a multi-screen experience,
and last but certainly not least, your overall standards of customer service.
Rory O'Connor, Vice President of Services, Irdeto, explains:
"To keep these growing pirate businesses at bay, content owners and operators need to understand the factors that go into consumer choice, including a full picture of piracy and strategies pirates use to grow into legitimate businesses. Content owners and operators need to make sure they are implementing a comprehensive, 360-degree anti-piracy strategy. This process includes detection, monitoring, source identification/watermarking, intelligence-gathering, investigations and enforcement. With the right information and a trusted security partner, content owners and operators can prevent piracy while also adapting offerings to more closely match consumer demand."
Food for thought indeed. There may be pirates out there, but it's your responsibility as a content provider to offer a top quality user experience while having the ability to adapt and innovate. Roll with the punches, implement the right strategy, and you have the power to beat content theft, one measure at a time.

We are raising money for one of our PrettyFit Athletics members Kate, who is running the Boston Marathon this year for Children's Hospital. We are committing to do as many Burpees as we can in 1 hour!!
~ Prize for the most burpees!
~ Bake Sale! Buy some goodies to recover from all those burpees! All proceeds go to the fundraiser!
If you do not want to participate please consider donating anything you can and/or coming down to the gym to cheer us on! We will also stream the hour live on Facebook so if you can't make it down there you can still watch us struggle through all those burpees!
I have been given the privilege to run the 2019 Boston Marathon for Children's Hospital Boston.
As most of you know, I have run this marathon before for Children's. I have been asked a few times since, why? Why in the past have I run and why would I do it again for the third time?
Children's Hospital has been a vital part of our lives since the day our first son was born in June of 2002.
Cole was born 10 weeks early and spent his first few critical days in the NICU at Children's Hospital. Our 3 lb baby boy was one of the healthiest patients in that NICU, believe it or not! Cole has thrived and done so well considering his early arrival. He is currently followed by the Endocrinology department at Children's Hospital.
Our daughter Ella was born with a swallowing disorder in 2007. She was a patient of the CADD (center for Aero-Digestive Disorders) team until she was three years old. With their help, she has made a full recovery!
Our middle son Jackson (born 2004) was diagnosed in October of 2010 with Undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy. It falls under the umbrella of Rheumatic Diseases (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). It took months and a few different specialists at Children's to diagnose Jackson. During those months, we spent a lot of time at Children's and he endured MRIs, CT scans, bloodwork, scopes, and various appointments. He is currently followed by the Rheumatology, Gastroenterology and Ophthalmology departments at Children's. He takes a few different daily medications as well as infusions every three weeks. This year seemed relevant to run because it is the ten-year mark from when he first started to present with symptoms. Because of the amazing care he receives at Children's, he is able to be a three-sport athlete and misses very little school time.
I am also running this year in honor of a co-worker's son, Joey Segreve; he is a little spitfire. He was diagnosed on 6/7/18 with a Wilms Tumor of the left kidney. He started his first chemo treatment less than five days from his first symptoms - all because of Children's Hospital. He has since powered through the removal of his left kidney as well as the tumor, 22 weeks chemo and 6 radiation treatments as well as 3 blood transfusions. He will turn two on 12/15/18 and his family cannot wait to celebrate this next milestone!
In reality, our families are some of the lucky ones. We have good health insurance, a strong support system and most importantly we get to take our children home at the end of every appointment. There are many parents and children who spend days, even months, at Children's fighting their illnesses.
As I ask you to donate today in support of my run for Children's, I do not ask you to do it for me. I ask you to donate for Cole, Jackson, Ella, and Joey as well as all of the other children who have received care from this amazing institution.


This weekend will happen a 48-hour Marathon on Body Music, via Web Radio Catimbau, Recife (BR). Something not so common.
But Badi what is it? I'm sure some would know but maybe most don't? Body Music = Music produced only from the human body, without any electronic interference. Very interesting, huh? A certain natural antidote to the paraphernalia that consumes us lately.
Keith Terry is the head behind it all. He was the one who created, next to his wife Eve Landin the IBMF (International Body Music Festival). Next year they will celebrate its 10th edition! An impressive achievement. Spreading body music around the world! Our biggest representation in Brazil is the amazing #Barbatuques.
Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon interviewing leading artists around the world for the marathon: Pedro Consorte (BR) Leela Petronio (France), Thanos Daskalopoulos (Greece), Eve Landin (USA) and KEITH TERRY (USA). Yes! I had the great privilege of interviewing him. It was a giant pleasure.

When Sholem Asch Met Tarantino: Motke ganev Comes to Tel Aviv
Zehavit Stern
The show, as we know, must go on. But the night I saw the Beit Lessin Theatre's King of Dogs (Melech ha-klavim), it had to be halted for a short while. Due to a technical problem, we were told, the turntable on stage had to be operated manually. And indeed, throughout the evening, whenever the revolve turned, two actors would kneel on all fours and toil to rotate the large wooden disk, laden with actors and props. While members of the ensemble seemed nervous about this mishap, I found it quite refreshing. This manual labor was almost Brechtian, drawing attention to what is usually effortless and invisible, and hindering immediate absorption in what was presented on stage. While this unintended nod to Brecht's estrangement effect didn't quite fulfill its subversive potential, it still felt like a welcome intervention in a sleek, professional show focused on romance and crime, good and evil.
The play's melodramatic plot was fleshed out with attractive costumes, a dynamic set design, and songs by Leonard Cohen, performed cabaret-style by a female singer. Cohen's songs add a North American flair to this adaptation of Sholem Asch's renowned novel Motke ganev (Motke the Thief), but the Beit Lessin's production hardly challenges Asch's deadly-serious melodramatic tone. The acting style is in tendency realistic, except for the stylized violence (which seems to aggrandize, rather than subvert, its brutality), and the moody score enhances the dark atmosphere and befits its story of crime, promiscuity, and heartbreak.
Beit Lessin's adaptation is well-suited to the novel on which it is based, which adheres to the rules of the melodramatic genre, constructing a black-and-white ethical universe, that, as Peter Brooks has shown, recreates and reaffirms hegemonic social order. Characters are typically punished for their attempts to cross social boundaries, and Motke, who strives to change his very identity as a criminal, suffers most. His efforts to be worthy of the chaste and angelic Khanele, romantic and heroic though they may be, are doomed.
Sensational content notwithstanding, the work's style, aesthetic means, and ethical worldview are wholeheartedly conservative. Motke ganev presents human relations as inevitably harsh and even cruel. While the theatrical adaptation's score universalizes and contemporizes Asch's storyline, The King of Dogs remains within the moral and aesthetic world of this popular Yiddish author. The heartless binary power relations that govern the lives of men and women, rich and poor, exploiter and exploited, are presented in The King of Dogs, like in Motke ganev, as the natural order. Even the admirable puppeteer performing the role of Motke's best friend, Burek the dog, feels like an entertaining circus-like shtik, rather than a Brechtian gesture that may "break the fourth wall" and help audiences consider the power mechanisms at work.
When it was published in 1916, Motke ganev challenged conventional images of Jewish life in the traditional, pre-WWI shtetl and in Jewish Warsaw. Resisting the heritage of Di klasiker (the classics) who, as Dan Miron has shown, mythologized the shtetl as a tiny, exiled Jerusalem, Asch located his novel in Warsaw's Jewish underworld of brothels and murky cafes, prostitutes and gangsters, extortion and murder. Such portrayals of Eastern European Jewish life were in great demand in the early twentieth century, and not only among Yiddish-speaking Jews. Asch likely conceived Motke ganev as a best-seller, as evidenced by the novel's serialization in New York's Forverts and the popular Warsaw daily, Haynt.

Asch earned worldwide notice in 1907, when his scandalous play Got fun nekome (God of Vengeance) was performed in Max Reinhardt's Deutsches Theatre, and in many other venues and languages over the following decades. Got fun nekome's unholy mixture of Jewish piety and sexuality attracted audiences and controversy, especially in New York, so much so that Asch later withdrew it from public performance. Conservative outrage didn't turn Asch away from such topics and plots. Quite the contrary: Motke ganev, adapted for the stage in 1922, reiterates many of the themes and motifs of Got fun nekome. In both we find Jewish parents striving to wash their hands of the crimes they commit and enable. "Gelt shtinkt nit" (money doesn't smell), says the brothel's owner to his wife, upon accepting Motke's offer to marry their daughter Khanele, as it will keep her away from their unholy business.
Motke ganev's unusual combination of yidishkayt, sex, and violence was popular among Jews in Eastern Europe, Palestine, and the United States. They, like Asch himself, enjoyed peeping into this realm of the impermissible, this (limited) rebellion against a stifling, conservative environment.
Yet would this juxtaposition of the chaste and the promiscuous, the sacred and sinner, the outlaw and the normative, mean the same for people in twenty-first-century liberal Tel Aviv? The appeal of Beit Lessin's adaptation seems to lie less in its Jewish setting than in its use of melodramatic formulas, Asch's sensational elements, and the stylized—and quite explicit—scenes of sex and violence. Playwright Yoav Shutan-Goshen told me that to his great surprise, he discovered "Tarantino" in this Yiddish novel (which he read in Hebrew translation). This is code, I assume, for action, violence, and box office success.
For Shutan-Goshen, as for other Israelis of his generation, The King of Dogs works despite rather than because of its Eastern European Jewish setting. For most people his age, that milieu is foreign, obsolete, and unattractive, and he and director Irad Rubinshtein felt they had to deemphasize this background, beginning with its title. For contemporary Israelis, Motke the Thief is strongly marked as Ashkenazi and thus old-fashioned. Motke is a good name for a successful Israeli web-portal for elderly people. It is less suitable for Beit Lessin which, like other theatres in Israel, struggles to attract younger audiences, offers discounted tickets for anyone under thirty-five, and recruits performers who are rising TV stars. 1 Efforts to contemporize the work extend to describing it as "a new Israeli play." Sholem Asch is acknowledged as the author, but Rubinstein and Shutan-Goshen are credited as dramatists, removing the performance one more step from its original context. 2 The Leonard Cohen score, should, of course also be understood as means of subduing the play's Yiddish origins.

So why base a play on Sholem Asch at all? Why modernize, universalize, and Israel-ize a Yiddish play? After all, the Beit Lessin Theatre is known (and occasionally criticized) for its emphasis on contemporary Israeli works, and for its attempts at universal appeal. The answer may be summarized in three words: "Cherchez la femme!" In this case, the woman is Tzippi Pines, Beit Lessin's art director since 1993.
Born Fayge Yozefovich in Siberia in 1944 to parents who were Holocaust survivors, Pines arrived in Israel at the age of five, speaks and reads Yiddish, and retains an affection for Yiddish culture. She proudly informed me that staging Sholem Asch was her idea, and that she was planning to produced more plays based on Yiddish literature, such as Sholem Aleichem's Blondzhende shtern (Wandering Stars). The King of Dogs is a shidekh as odd as the one between Motke and Khanele. Its constituents are the seventy-three-year old Pines—Beit Lessin's supreme ruler—and the thirty-seven-year old Shutan-Goshen and Rubinshtein, who realize her vision while framing it in terms of Leonard Cohen and Quentin Tarantino. The result is distinctively Israeli. The young and handsome Shlomi Tapiaro does well playing Motke as a virile gangster, but is less impressive as Motke the poor young orphan, and as a defeated hero. Is this related to a reluctance to transform Motke into a weak, exilic Jew? That said, Tom Chagai, who normally plays the role, may better handle the challenge of Motke's character development.

In the months since its premiere in September 2017, The King of Dogs has proved a box-office and critical success. Yet although it garnered ten nominations at the prestigious (and controversial) Israeli Theatre Awards, it walked away with only three: Best Director (Irad Rubinstein), Promising Actor (Ofri Biterman) and Best Set Design (Svetlana Berger). Audience responses posted on the Beit Lessin website and Facebook page pronounce the play fascinating, powerful, and exciting, and praise its set design, music, costumes, and "modern feel." One viewer described it as watching theatre, circus and a musical performance all in one. Only one person protested "I don't understand why they chose to sing in English in a play on Polish Jews," and I suspect that Beit Lessin chose to post this critical comment because, paradoxically, it presents the show as contemporary and daring.

What troubled me were not the English-language songs in a play about Polish Jews. Rather, Leonard Cohen was not enough to make the play relevant today, a century after the novel's appearance, in a country facing so many social and political tensions. The show was dynamic and entertaining, and included some charming moments, especially one in which Motke's "girls" have a tea party and fantasize about husbands and the respectable, bourgeois life that they will never have. In this, I found myself sympathizing with the old-time critics of Yiddish theatre, who were always bemoaning the Yiddish audience's proclivity for banal plots and melodramatic tear-jerkers. I've never subscribed to the Asch rehabilitation project, and re-reading his novel did not change my mind. Watching The King of Dogs, like reading Motke ganev, made me pine for Isaac Babel's Odessa Stories (Odesskie rasskazy, 1931).
Babel's magnificent portrayal of the Eastern European Jewish underworld was the source for an unforgettable 1996 adaptation by the Israeli Gesher Theatre, described by the London Guardian as "The Threepenny Opera meets Fiddler on the Roof." Babel's masterful irony and humor situate him far from the sensational and didactic world of the melodrama, to which both Motke ganev and The King of Dogs belong. When Babel's famous gangster Benya Krik falls for the chaste daughter of a respectable Jewish balebos (middle-class man) he gets her by promising her father, first, a gravestone of pink marble at the Jewish cemetery, second, that he will leave his gangster profession, and, third, that he will kill all the father's business competitors. Just as Asch's verbosity and seriousness made me miss Babel's terse, sardonic, and yet utterly warm evocation of the Jewish underworld, so did Beit Lessin's sleek show make me long for a more biting and inspiring interpretation of Asch's sensational novel. A manual revolve and a clever use of puppeteering are good starts; a score by Psoy Korolenko and Daniel Kahn would make things even better.

Presenting the play as a new Israeli work based on Asch's novel, rather than his own adaptation of it for the stage, may be connected with eligibility for Israeli Theatre Award nominations. Only three years ago Beit Lessin produced another Motke ganev (adapted and staged by Moti Averbuch) under the title Café Warszawski, a name that is still marked as Ashkenazi. In contrast, the title of the new production lacks any Eastern European Jewish flavor.
The previous Beit Lessin production of the play, as well as the version produced by the Yidishpil theatre, credit Asch first, and proclaim the playwright the "adaptor," rather than the "creator" of the play.

Soooo…where were we? Oh yeah, driving out of Amsterdam to a chorus of Hare Krishna (not sure what I'm on about? click HERE) – god love em! Or not…I don't know, do Hare Krishnas believe in God? Anyway – we headed out of Amsterdam on our way back to Calais and eventually big bad Bethnal Green (where I live, duhhhh) but first we had a pitstop in Belgium in a super fancy hotel.
It took around two hours to drive to Ghent and in that time my boyfriend took THU-REE sleeping selfies of me. I hated him. I was seriously DANGRY when I woke up and realised what had happened. BUT that is the risk you run when you sleep in a car of people that are meant to be your friends and boyfriend. Regardless…for your LOLS only, here is one of those damn pictures.
I know, I think I should dump him too but he's promised to take me away again to say sorry – HAVEN'T YOU BABE? So I can't stay too mad at him.
RED AND WHITE ARMY! Obvs the Sandton Grand Hotel Reylof are massive fans of Sunderland AFC – who knew?
After pointing out the wall paper repeatedly to my boyfriend who just shrugged and told me to be quiet, we decided to check out the spa facilities. Donning the hotel's glorious white robes; me opting for a classic bathroom selfie while my boyfriend preferred a more gangster look wearing his – I had no idea I was going out with such a G – and we made our way down to the Wellness Centre.
We went for a dip in the much colder than anticipated pool – nothing relaxing about being cold. So I moved onto the cosy couch and rifled through the selection of Belgian magazines before coming across an old(ish) copy of ES Magazine which was amazing as I LOVE Grace Dent's column (follow her on twitter too @GraceDent) and even better, it was one I hadn't read. SCORE.
Aren't you loving how super posed I am? Pointed toes much.
We then made our way up to the sauna/steam room and totally ignored/missed the sign saying no swimwear. The other hotel guests did not. And being a prude English bunch of chaps and chapesses we were very embarrassed by their nakedness. Tables were turned later though when the same guests found themselves sat next to us at dinner knowing we'd all seen his dinkle and her boobies.
Sadly the Wellness Centre was fully booked for massages so we were unable to indulge in any treatments, a heads up that you may want to book this a couple of days before your stay, if you're going. So we headed back up to our DELUXE room and got changed to go for a wander around Ghent.
…because it looked nice but I don't know what it is – can anyone enlighten me? Dad?
And spotted an amazing shop window full to the brim with BEER! We set about trying to find the most alcoholic one and my boyfriend couldn't have been happier with himself when he spotted a punchy 11.1 percent-er!! Pretty bloody punchy indeed. So we bought a couple of bottles and then headed to the BIER HUIS to get some on tap.
However not being a BIG beer drinker, I wussed out and ordered a fruity little number, with the help of the very knowledgeable and friendly staff, that was only 2.5%. L.A.M.E. but I'll have you know it was utterly delicious and more like a cider. The rest of the booze hounds had a couple of 8-9% tipples which we worked out was nearly, sort of, almost the same as having TWO PINTS OF WINE. Yup, imagine downing wine by the pint. Talk about smashing it. So after a few jars they were all well on their way to being hammered whereas I was still feeling straight as an arrow thanks to my shandy lightweight beverage.
We made our way back through the centre of Ghent and posed for a couple more pictures by the river. My boyfriend and I trying to grab a romantic shot that kept being ruined by the town drunk/village idiot.
We made it back to the hotel where we had reservations at Lof – a very posh and loudly decorated restaurant – in the hotel. I'm not sure they were expecting this beered up bevvy of Brits so it might have been an idea to eat first and then crack into the 9% beer but ahh well, live and learn. We took a booth and set about ordering our starters and mains.
First though came the Amuse Bouche. The first indicator that we were in a very classy restaurant. When they give out samples for free in small, glass dishes you know it's a posh one. Ours amuse bouche was some sort of posh prawn cocktail that was okay but a bit gooey for my liking. I'm not a prawn-gal at the best of times so it didn't really hit the spot from me but the rest of the table loved it.
My companions went for something equally amazing that I can't remember the name of or even begin to tell you what was in it other than apple and sorbet. Possibly some sort of meat too. Either way it blow all our minds and mouths. It's just that genius sort of combination food that makes you go ewww no way when you hear it and then holy-mother-of-god that's DELICIOUS when you taste it. The stuff you could never have thought of putting together in a million years. So yeah…our starters were pretty a-ok.
For main I snubbed my absolute favourite of steak with bearnaise sauce for the duck with mustard sauce and corn-baked potatoes. It was good but I'm starting to have that funny vegetarian feeling about meat that is cooked medium, rare. I used to love it the most but recently it's been tasting all a bit too fleshy in my mouth and it's really putting me off. I'm still fine with bacon rolls and the like but there's something about the tenderness and pinkness of just cooked meat that is sadly starting to turn my stomach. So although the dish was super tasty (my dinner dates informed me of this after all sampling a little of mon canard) I was feeling a tad queezy by the end and didn't end up finishing it.
Feeling like we all might explode at any point, we retired to a different table by the bar where we indulged in a Baileys before the thought of our big warm, comfy bed up in our DELUXE room became too much to ignore. We dragged ourselves up to bed and made the final leg back to London early the next day.
Stopping off in Ghent on the way back from Amsterdam was a great way to break up the journey and it felt like we really made the most of the trip visiting more than one place. Driving the journey itself also wasn't as bad as I'd have thought. Admittedly if there is any kind of traffic or road works or problems that delay you this is very annoying but flights get delayed all the time too! And if you think about it, by the time you get to the airport, check in, fly, check out and get to your hotel…you're probably looking at a similar amount of time. The luxury of the car means that you can leave at your own pace too.
Have you done any driving holidays? Where would you recommend driving to next?
Ghent, I'll start my first year of uni there soon! *excited* About that thing you took a picture of because you thought it was kind of pretty, it is some kind of memorial thingy for a few veterans of the Great War. By the way, quite the fancy hotel you were at!

Q: Integral representation of a function Here is another Prelim problem from Advanced Calculus.
For $t>0$ and $D>0$ define $g(x,t)$ by
$$
g(x,t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{Dt}}\exp{\frac{-x^2}{4Dt}}
$$
Now, for $f:\mathbf{R}\to\mathbf{R}$ being continuous with compact support, define $u(x,t)$ as
$$
u(x,t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty g(x-y,t)f(y)dy
$$
Now show for a fixed $x$ (also find C) for $t\to\infty$
$$
u(x,t) = \frac{C}{\sqrt{t}}+O(\frac{1}{t}).
$$
This is the third part of the problem, so maybe it would help to know that
$$
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = D \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}.
$$
So my plan of attack was to show, with $C = \frac{1}{\sqrt{D}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(y)dy$
$$
|\sqrt{t} u(x,t) - C| \leq M \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}}
$$
or try to show
$$
\frac{1}{\sqrt{D}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty|\exp{\frac{-(x-y)^2}{4Dt}}-1||f(y)|dy
$$
but I could not get it to work out.

A: Hint: You're looking to end up with a sum, even though the integrand is a product. Sometimes you can play tricks with the functions to change a product to a sum (like taking the logarithm etc.), but here the most natural thing to do might be to express one of the functions as its Taylor series, yielding the sought after sum, and coincidentally it fits in well with the O-notation. You know nothing about $f$ so that can't be expanded, while the exponent has a lovely expansion with generous convergence...
It looks like you might get an even better error term though, $O(t^{-3/2})$. It also looks like you intended to write the differential equation differently: $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = D \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}.$
EDIT
$$
e^x = 1 + x + \frac {x^2} 2 + \cdots = 1 + O(x) \hspace{10pt} \text{as }x\to 0
$$
$$
\begin{align*}
u(x,t) &= \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac 1 {\sqrt{Dt}} e^{-\frac {(x-y)^2} {4Dt}} f(y) dy \\
&= \frac 1 {\sqrt{Dt}} \int_{-\infty}^\infty \left( 1 + O\left(\frac 1 t\right)\right)  f(y) dy \hspace{10pt} \text{as } t\to\infty \\
&= \frac 1 {\sqrt{Dt}} \left( 1 + O\left(\frac 1 t\right)\right) \int_{-\infty}^\infty  f(y) dy \\
&= \frac C {\sqrt t} + O\left(\frac 1 {t\sqrt t} \right)
\end{align*}
$$
I used the compactness of the support of $f$ in the fact that the O-notation isn't dependent on $y$.

The Samuel Hart Playing Card Company & Its Tokens
Hanna & Co Tobacconists – Detroit, Michigan
VOTE THE LAND / FREE Token
Oberlin Smith's Ferracute Machine Company Tokens
The Forgotten Tokens of Howell Works Garden
By: Aaron Packard
19th Century Etching of Howell Works Company Logo
In early 1830s New Jersey, there was a picturesque and grandiose town established, situated in Monmouth County. Located thirteen miles south of Freehold, and six miles west of Sea Girt, the settlement was known as the town of Allaire. For two decades the town ranked as one of the largest industrial centers in the Eastern United States. The construction of an iron smelting works marked the town's beginning.
Incorporated in 1828, the Howell Works Company began operations and a company town was created. Only three years thereafter, in 1831 the company was sold, and James P. Allaire, the company's president, purchased the company as its sole owner.
Ruins of Allaire's 1831 Blast Furnace
After acquiring the company, Allaire began systematic initiatives to make improvements to his company, as well as the company town that supported it. A modern smelting furnace was erected, which replaced the less efficient and outdated one. Infrastructure connecting the town was upgraded, and roads leading to the town were improved. Docks at Oceanport were built, sloops were procured, and regular shipping routes to New York City commenced.
Company housing was built for employees, as well as all of the other enterprises and buildings necessary for a functional town.
Allaire built a waterworks, a mill, a bakery, a company general store, a church for worship, a carpenter's shop, and a factory for manufacturing screws. Other ancillary buildings were also constructed, including housing for company foremen, an enameling house, as well as a charcoal fuel depot.
Along with the company's core industrial activities, about 500 total men were in employed in the various industries which comprised the town.
Foreman Housing
Five large farms, abutting the town, were bought to supply fresh food, as well as provide the necessary land to construct a canal to bring water to the town from the nearby Mingemahone Brook.
Eventually stage coach lines were brought into service. Daily, scheduled trips to and from other New Jersey towns were offered. Steamboat lines soon replaced Allaire's older sloops, and goods were brought in from New York to further supply the town. The same steamers, in their outbound voyages back to New York, were utilized to ship Allaire's finished iron products to the city.
Unfortunately the prosperity at Allaire was not to last. The financial panic of 1837 crippled James Allaire and his access to capital. Allaire, who had extensive works in New York city, had to divest his ownership in them to weather the financial storm.
But alas such initiatives were not enough. Soon thereafter, new methods for smelting were discovered.
Duplexes were constructed to provide for employee housing.
New and improved methods of combustion were innovated, and suddenly his relatively new furnace passed into obsolescence. Quickly it became evident the Allaire's iron could not be produced at his Howell plant as cheaply as it could be elsewhere.
In 1846 Allaire reluctantly announced that Howell's furnace could no longer profitably make iron.
Allaire's closing of the furnace marked the death-knell of the town.
Very soon thereafter, the town's other industries shuttered and its population dwindled and finally disappeared.
Surviving Enamel House, circa 1920s
Company Store for Employees
For almost a century afterwards, the town languished in ruins. Many of the town's buildings fell into disrepair and had either been razed or had collapsed onto themselves. It wasn't until sometime after the beginning of the 20th century that the town was noticed again by curious passer-bys.
Ruins of Blasting Furnace's Charcoal House
All that said, during the company prosperous but yet short heydey, in 1834 supplies of privately minted bronze and copper coins were struck for the town. As was common during the era, circulation of regular U.S. Coinage was quite scarce. To alleviate the shortage and promote commerce among the town's residents, Allaire had tokens of one and two cents struck, along with private currency that ranged from six-cents to $15. Unlike other shinplasters of the era, Allaire's name and company on the emissions were considered sufficient guarantees that his private money was financially sound.
Numismatic Specimens
Below please find several Howell Works specimens.
The first specimen was struck as a one-cent piece in copper, and possesses an R-4 rarity rating on the Hard Times Rarity Scale. Rulau dates it to 1834 and catalogues it as HT-200.
The second specimen was struck as a 2-cent piece. Possessing a rarity rating of R-3, it is slightly less rarer than the first. Also struck in copper, Rulau lists the specimen as HT-201 and dates it to 1835.
The third specimen was also struck as a 2-cent piece, and also possesses a rarity rating of R-3. Like the specimen above, it was struck on a copper planchet. However uniquely in this specimen's case, it appears to have been minted atop a previously struck token.
In addition to metallic tokens, Howell Works Company also printed and issued paper scrip. The specimen below is a 50-cent note. Rulau lists it as HT-Q69, but does not assign any rarity rating to it. The note was printed sometime around the same time the above tokens were struck.
The specimen below was imprinted by Engravers Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Co. of New-York. The features a beautiful and custom vignette of the Howell Works — the image most commonly associated with the company. The right panel features a vignette of Benjamin Franklin. The note, catalogue number Wait-833, possesses an Extra-Fine grade, and was also printed during the 1830s.
Historical Status
Ultimately the remaining buildings and property of the town were granted historic status. They were preserved and restored, and made available for access and study by the general public.

Very interesting article. I have one of the specimens above being graded currently and have approached Allaire Historic Village about possible displaying the coin along with this article. I have to meet the gentleman in charge on his day on, sometime this summer.
Joseph Casale
We'd be happy to display the coinage and money from the Howell Iron Works Co. at Allaire. We can help get the dates and some info above updated – on the history that is. We know some things about the money and coins but not all. Would love to know more. Summer is best to discuss as it slows a little bit for me.
PS – visit the re-opened Enameling Building at Allaire for history post-1846 and the role played by Arthur Brisbane for donating over 1,200 acres and the village to the people of the State of NJ – free of charge! A spectacular history and person.

I will work on getting down there as soon as I can. I have picked up a few more coins since this last article was published.

The Principles of Confucianism
By MPSWriterJoe on November 14, 2020 • ( 4 Comments )
Long before China was the monolith of today, it was a fractured land of warring states. Five hundred years before the birth of Christ, the Zhou dynasty who held the northern parts of the Chinese plain began to lose their grip on power. As new nations arose, and large states crumbled, a period of great intellectual curiosity and intellectual expansion occurred. It became known as the Hundred Schools of Thought. The most prominent schools are still taught today, and the most famous of all is Confucianism.
Into the broken world of early China, Confucius was born into poverty, as his father had died soon after he was born. Bookish, as a child, he lacked the social class to pursue his talents. Instead, working as a keeper of granaries and livestock and bookkeeper. He excelled in each position, leading onto the next. Up and up he rose, eventually becoming the minister of works and then minister of crime.
However, his increasingly prominent positions meant he now rubbed shoulders with the aristocratic families. They held sway over his native province of Lu. He objected to their routine ritual indiscretions. For these families sought to wrestle the power of Lu from who Confucius perceived as the rightful ruler.
After attempting to sabotage the families' plans, he was exiled. For fourteen years, he wandered the land, seeking a ruler of virtue, who would accept his insights. But he searched in vain, finding only petty men with petty feuds.
In their stead, Confucius began to devise his principles of a good life and good rule. He believed that through moral strength and fortitude, a few could help the many. But first, like steel, they must be tempered by politics and life before being set on a path to power.
He developed six fundamental principles, from which his entire philosophy unfolds. The most important of which are the first two: Jen and Li.
Jen, meaning humanity, defined mankind. It separated us from the animals. It was a sense of dignity and respect, not just to oneself, but to all living things and human beings. From Jen, all else followed. Confucius often lamented that he never saw Jen expressed. But it was said that a man of Jen, would sooner sacrifice himself to preserve its sanctity.
Li is the principle of gain. It is the guiding hand of human interaction. Li requires you to ask, how should things be done? What is needed for a well-ordered society? From your conclusions, you are then presented with the correct way to act. Li also lays out the Doctrine of the Mean, which states that proper action is found between the extremes, and establishes the Five Relationships, and their associated virtues. For instance, father and son (loving/reverential), and ruler and subject (benevolent/loyal).
Next is Yi, or righteousness. It is the moral obligation to do good. Yi flows directly from Jen, a sense of humanity, and Li, an understanding of societal gain. Under these principles, you must recognize what is right and wrong and act accordingly.
HSIAO
Under Hsiao, you are required to show reverence to your parents and bring your family honor. Confucius believed that, because your family sacrificed their lives for you, you should give them respect. Furthermore, only through Hsiao could one find Jen.
CHIH
This principle comes from Mencius and not Confucius, but is accepted as canon. It denotes moral wisdom: the ability to discern right from wrong. For Mencius, men are born good. Thus, they have an innate ability to tell right from wrong.
The final principle of Confucianism. Te concerns itself with the power of government. If a government can maintain economic sufficiency, military power, and the trust of its people, then it is good.
Following the death of Confucius, the Zhou dynasty fell into utter ruin. The Hundred Schools of Thought each competed for followers. But it was the Confucians under Mencius who would model themselves the teachers of kings. In time, a tough stance on law, order and authority came to define Confucianism, though the underlying principles remained. As the world fell apart, it was Confucianism that stitched it back together. Even today, throughout East Asia, the values and teachings of Confucius are still taught and venerated.

I think Confucius teachings were humane in nature and spiritual and it also serves as a guide not to those of long ago but us this generation also the principal of unity and coexistence in peace and harmony 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for the article will surely delve deeper into Confucius literature
Bistra Nikolova says:
Confucius' principles are the basis for building good relationships between people – in the family and in the society. As well as for the implementation of good governance of the state. Probably they are a kind of prototype of the principles of good governance as we know them today.

Yet it seems that many in that region, as well as throughout the world , have forgotten these principles.. Or is it just the predetermined straggle that makes us evolve stronger 🤔


Poseidon has very broad experience of fisheries and aquaculture economics, covering the whole value chain i.e. input services, catching/production, processing, and marketing.
Projects relating to specific products or investments focus on costs and earnings studies, value chain studies, market assessments and strategy development, trade, feasibility studies and business plans, investment appraisal (of both private sector investments, and public sector ones such as in fishing harbours), and evaluation. We also use our economics expertise at a more macro level to inform fisheries/aquaculture policy and management in many countries, for example advising on fisheries licence fees based on modelling of vessel profitability, and on the economic impacts and benefits of different policy and management options.

Sen. Warner honored as Legislator of the Year
Written by David Stegon
Jan 9, 2015 | FEDSCOOP
The TechAmerica Foundation has named Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), one of the featured speakers at FedTalks, the 2013 Legislator of the Year for the Senate.
The award recognizes exceptional leadership by one member of the Senate and one member of the House of Representatives, who have substantially assisted in the advancement of innovation policy, and for outstanding contributions to the U.S. technology sector, TechAmerica said.
In a released statement, Warner said he was honored to receive the recognition.
"The technology industry has been an important ally in working to promote STEM education and reform our broken immigration system," he said. "Virginia has one of the largest concentrations of tech workers in the country, and I look forward to continuing to work with the TechAmerica Foundation to promote technology as a key driver of economic growth, innovation and American competitiveness."
The TechAmerica Foundation 2013 Cyberstates report ranked Virginia fourth in the nation in technology employment. The commonwealth also has the highest concentration of technology workers.
Warner has served in the Senate since 2008, after being the governor of Virginia.

"No out of pocket" cost for more then 50% of our customers!
Since the most challenging aspect of replacing your roof can be dealing with your insurance claim, we will assist you with the confusing and sometimes adversarial roof replacement claim.
In advance of the adjuster's visit, DFW Best Roofing's Project Manager will prepare a diagram of your roof, provide your insurance company with the details of your roofing replacement requirements, and issue a Scope of Work Statement on your behalf.
Our goal is to have your insurance deductible be the only out-of-pocket expense for the entire project. We guarantee there will be no surprises before, during or after completion of your project.
We use the most recent technology to present the damage to your insurance company. This can include satellite imaging of your roof to verify the damage that we have visually catalogued. Most major homeowner insurance companies are familiar with our expertise and trust that DFW Best Roofing is providing them with reliable, well-documented evidence from our roof inspection. And, if your insurance carrier should have any doubt about your needs, our representatives will negotiate a reasonable settlement on your behalf to make sure that YOU receive the best possible outcome.
Below you will see the steps for a roofing insurance claim. Though these may seem overwhelming, remember that an experienced DFW Best Roofing staff member will be right beside you throughout the process.
The damage caused by hail, wind, and other weather is often difficult to detect. You might not know that your roof was damaged. Normally, hail has to be the size of a golf ball before it can break through shingles on your roof. But your roof could be damaged by any size of hail if the hail is driven by high winds or if it hails for an extended period of time. This damage will greatly reduce the life of your roof, and may not be visible from the ground. Siding, gutters, facia, and windows can also be damaged by storms. DFW Best Roofing Roofers will provide a no cost inspection and free assessment of the storm damage to your property. This assessment will help ensure that your insurance company completes your repairs properly and provides you with full compensation for your project.
Hail damages shingles when the granule layers are lost, which exposes the softer organic-based center to the sun's UV rays. This will cause the shingles to deteriorate much faster than usual. Hail can also puncture and seriously damage your roofing material. This leads to structural damage when moisture accumulates underneath the shingles and causes the roof deck to decompose, possibly leading to interior leaks.
Winds over 50 miles per hour can lift shingles and cause the seals to break. These seals cannot be resealed, and the shingles will then flap in the breeze and eventually snap off.
Improper or inadequate ventilation in your attic will cause the shingles to scorch and bubble up, which can lead to moisture accumulation and other structural damage.
First, call your insurance company claims department to initiate a claim for damage to your property. Tell the claim center you would like to make a claim based on storm damage. They will ask for the date that the damage occurred and what type of damage you have (roof, siding, gutters, etc.). Your insurance company will assign a claim number to your case. Be sure to write down that claim number, it will be very important during the settlement of your claim.
Next, call DFW Best Roofing Roofers and give us your claim number and we will handle your claim from that point forward. We will complete an estimated scope of loss due to the storm damage and work with your insurance company to settle your claim in a satisfactory manner. Your personal account manager will work with you as needed to ensure that you fully understand the repair and insurance process.
DFW Best Roofing staff will call your insurance company and set an appointment to meet with the adjuster on your behalf. We provide the adjuster with an advance copy of our estimated scope of loss, and then meet with the adjuster at your home to investigate the damage. The adjuster will inspect your roof and the exterior of your home for signs of damage.
If needed a 10' x 10' test area is marked on each slope of the roof where bruises, breaks, and dents are clearly marked. Each elevation of your siding is examined for dents, and damage to gutters and downspouts is pointed out. Other damage to your property is inspected and noted.
The first check issued ($11,500 in the example) is presented by you to the contractor of your choice. This check enables the contractor to order materials, set a production date, and complete your project.
When the project is finished the property owner signs a certification of completion and satisfaction (supplied by the contractor). This certificate is sent to the insurance company who will issue a second check to the property owner for final payment. This check will include the recoverable depreciation ($9,000 in the example) and may also include additional monies for approved supplements and contractor's overhead and profit if applicable. The property owner will receive confirmation from the insurance company and the contractor of any additionally approved items.
This process is an accepted industry standard and helps minimize paperwork and confusion for the property owner and the contractor.
Occasionally an insurance company will deny a storm damage claim. You are always entitled to a re-inspection by a different adjuster within the same insurance company.
DFW Best Roofing will continue to work with you and your insurance company to resolve your claim and get the damage fixed. We have the years of experience needed to get claims settled with insurance companies.
If you have a mortgage on your home, the insurance company's first check is issued to you AND your mortgage company. This check must be presented to your mortgage company with other documents in order to be released. Your personal account manager will assist you with this process.
There are several preparations that will make your construction project progress smoothly and with less stress for you.
1. Be prepared for noise. Construction crews will generally begin working early in the morning. There will be constant hammering during roofing, siding, and other projects. You may want to plan a day away from your home while the project is in progress.
2. Remove all loose items from walls and shelves, such as pictures, plates, or other collectibles. The hammering may create vibrations that could shake items off of your shelves and walls. If we are working on skylights, debris has a tendency to fall into those areas of your home; move or cover any items that are below skylights. Also remove all items from around the exterior of your home where roofing or siding debris may fall.
3. Provide an electrical outlet for the contractor crews to use with power tools.
4. Move all cars, motorcycles, boats, bicycles, and any other vehicles away from the house and garage while the project is in progress. If you do not have a ceiling in your garage and can see the bottom side of the roof decking, move or cover all items that might get damaged by small pieces of felt or shingles falling through the spaces between the decking boards.
5. Clear the driveway to provide access to load shingles, siding or other materials.
6. Keep children and pets aware from the work area at all times. Trucks, power tools, ladders and other potential hazards will be present throughout the process.
1. If rotted wood, deteriorated or deflected decking is found, we will not be held liable. This is your financial responsibility. We will replace rotted wood, deteriorated, or deflected decking on a time and material basis.
2. Nails that fall from the roof during the job will be picked up with a magnetic roller. We will make every effort to pick up all the nails, however, a few nails, often hidden in the grass, may remain.
Our staff at DFW Best Roofing pledge to work as a team with you to complete your roofing project as quickly and precisely as possible and with the least inconvenience to you and your family.
At DFW BEST Roofing we purchase and work with only quality roofing materials. You can meet us at our supply house and choose your materials wit us.

Your personal account manager will also help you complete the manufacturers' warranties for any materials used on your project and walk the job with you to make sure you are 100% satisfied!
