Tennessee Vending Operator Reaps Major Savings From Portable Refrigerated Containers
With a fleet of 15 delivery vehicles, Palace Vending in Kingsport, Tenn. has found significant savings from installing portable refrigerated containers in its vehicles. The refrigerated containers from Coldtainer reduce maintenance and improve fuel economy, according to John Nottingham, president of the company, which supplies snacks, beverages, office coffee, water and catering services to businesses and schools throughout northeastern Tennessee, southwest Virginia and in the greater Asheville, N.C. area.
"Coldtainer refrigerated containers allow us to transport products over longer distances in cargo vans for a lower capital investment, and with double the fuel economy for those vehicles at significantly reduced operating costs," said Nottingham. "Our maintenance costs are also lower than those for medium-duty trucks with coolers and cold plate refrigeration systems. The containers are easy to install and we can also easily move them to a different truck. Over time, we plan to add larger van models with Coldtainer units to our fleet."
To transport fresh products on longer runs across its service area, Palace Vending used medium-duty box trucks equipped with coolers and compressor powered cold plate refrigeration systems. The trucks cost about $65,000 each and average about 10 miles per gallon.
In August 2018, the company purchased a Ford Transit cargo van and outfitted it with a Coldtainer FO720 NDN 25 cubic-foot front opening direct expansion refrigerated container model. The unit was purchased through a rebate program from Unified Strategies Group (USG), a nonprofit purchasing cooperative servicing independently owned vending, office coffee service, micro market and foodservice companies in the U.S.
At a lower initial cost of about $40,000, the first cargo van and Coldtainer unit fielded by Palace Vending provided an immediate capital cost savings compared to about $65,000 for a medium-duty truck equipped with a cooler and a compressor powered cold plate system.
Coldtainer containers provide a versatile solution for the transportation of perishable goods that require precise temperature control and freeze protection. The containers are available in front opening or top loading models in a range of capacities and with numerous cooling, freezing and heating options. The units can use battery, shore and solar power sources on vehicles and at facilities to operate on AC or DC power.
Equipped with refrigeration units designed to withstand vibrations related to vehicle use, Coldtainer stand-alone containers are made from molded polyethylene and food-grade materials. The units are easy to clean and comply with health and safety standards.
All Coldtainer temperature-controlled models have an integrated battery monitor and a user-friendly digital display to view temperature and status, and for precise temperature set point control. The containers also record temperatures and have a mobile Bluetooth capability for downloading data to meet recordkeeping requirements.
The cargo van operates at almost double the fuel efficiency of a traditional medium-duty truck, and maintenance costs on the vans are also significantly lower.
Palace Vending plans to add as many as five larger van models to its fleet over time. The Coldtainer units will continue to provide measurable fuel cost savings, and will have the same cubic capacity as the company's medium-duty trucks.
Coldtainer is a registered trademark of Euroengel, an Italy-based company that has been designing and manufacturing 12V portable refrigerators since 1993.

Book review by Kaitlyn Duthie-Kannikkatt
Virginia D. Nazarea, Robert E. Rhoades, and Jenna E. Andrews-Swann (eds.), Seeds of Resistance, Seeds of Hope: Place and Agency in the Conservation of Biodiversity, University of Arizona Press, Tucson, 2013. 298 pp. $60.00. ISBN: 9780816530144.
From Chiapas to Japan to the southern United States, farmers, seed keepers, and gardeners—whose identities are often intrinsically linked with the land—are creating community that reflects their cultural identity. Seeds of Resistance, Seeds of Hope: Place and Agency in the Conservation of Biodiversity connects the lives of these people around the world engaged in the same loving struggle to resist homogenization and cultivate a world where diversity can flourish.
The book's central argument is that conservation is not only possible in conditions of marginality; it thrives there. Where memory is threatened—whether through the nonconsensual encroachment of genetically modified corn, the mass migration of people from one continent to another, or the long and ongoing assertion of colonial domination over indigenous peoples—memory keepers step up to preserve the cultural and biological fabric of their communities. It is unplanned and beyond design, but in the mess there is a kind of magic.
While the conservation of biological material can be complemented by preserving landraces1 in faraway gene banks or supporting small-scale farmers through government- or NGO-led initiatives, the heart of conservation work is happening invisibly because of local people who are committed to carrying cultural memory. Cultural memory provides people with "a sense of belonging and a feeling of broader membership in a real or imagined community" (Susannah Chapman and Tom Brown, "Apples of Their Eyes: Memory Keepers of the American South," 54). Seeds are perfect vehicles for transporting cultural memory from one time or place to another, because they arouse in their look, smell, and texture a set of stories that can help us locate ourselves in relation to our roots, no matter where they are planted. Each of the chapters demonstrates in its own way how seeds play this role in diverse contexts.
One chapter looks at a project in Chiapas, Mexico, initiated by the Zapatistas—global leaders in self-organization and asserting self-determination. Learning that GMO corn was threatening to contaminate their corn seed provoked anger and uncertainty. "For us, the indigenous, corn is sacred. If these agrochemical companies are trying to get rid of our corn, it is like wanting to get rid of a part of our culture which we inherited from our Mayan ancestors" (Peter Brown, "Maya Mother Seeds in Resistance of Highland Chiapas in Defense of Native Corn," 158). Corn plays a role in their cultural memory as the crop that kept them strong in all of their struggles. So when the corn was endangered, they stepped up to protect it as it had protected them. They engaged in extensive field-testing to determine the scope of the problem. They froze non-contaminated seed as a precaution. And they sent corn seed packages to a network of trusted seed keepers throughout the world for safekeeping and safe planting. GMO corn might take over their land, was the thought, but the seed will always be safe, and its sacredness will never be compromised.
Protecting seed is not just a matter of keeping high-yielding varieties or maintaining a connection to the past. It is about generating and regenerating identities that are rooted in place and culture. When forces attempt to marginalize those identities, the result—as in the case of the Zapatista seed keepers—is often a renewed community commitment to strengthening them again. This commitment comes not out of an angry reaction to a threat. It comes from a place of resilience. A movement born out of that kind of conviction will undoubtedly be around to stay.
Nazarea writes: "If we dismantle our rational frameworks and do away with our formulaic approaches, what are we left with? Can we imagine knowledge systems that are mutually respectful and permeable, social movements that are not primarily political and angry but sensual and celebratory? Can we spend more time in listening than in positioning, dwelling a little bit more and controlling a little bit less?" (13).
There are examples all around us of people taking paths that defy conventional norms, choosing to value diversity over convenience, identity over rationality. These paths are not motivated by anger but by a will to preserve and celebrate that which makes us who we are. They find ways to succeed regardless of the challenges that face them. What would it look like for our churches to set out on a path like that?
The stances we take (or fail to take) often come from a position of fear—of losing control, of making someone angry, of saying the wrong thing. What if we let go of that fear and surrendered to the joy in diversity that has always been our primary source of innovation as a church? What if we let voices at the margins define our actions? What if we looked for the work already being done in our communities to protect and restore our connection to place, and found ways to support it? Nurturing this kind of mindset would extend well beyond food systems and into all social justice work; we often find ourselves called to this work but are unable or unwilling to act courageously in it.
In his chapter on place and indigenous biodiversity conservation, Tirso Gonzales writes about decolonization: "For some . . ., this process will be a strengthening of their places; for others it will be a process of moving out of their 'violent environments' and becoming native to their places" (Tirso Gonzales, "Sense of Place and Indigenous People's Biodiversity Conservation in the Americas," 97). Colonialism has attempted a widespread erasure of place and the people connected to those places. The church has played a role in this erasure. But if done right, decolonization can embrace all of us—indigenous and nonindigenous people—as we each ecologically, culturally, and spiritually strengthen the places we have come to call home. All we have to do is listen for ways that restoration of space and cultural memory is taking place around us, and jump in. The diverse voices that make up Seeds of Diversity, Seeds of Hope provide a helpful push.

Mr. Potato Head Gets the 'Gender Neutral' Treatment
Aaron Zytle (AZ)
Aaron Zytle (AZ) Published: February 25, 2021
Michael Kovac, Getty Images
UPDATE: It looks like Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are going to remain part of the Hasbro line, though it's not entirely clear how that will work. It appears that removing gender titles from packaging is ultimately a cost-saving measure that will allow the company to toss a plastic potato and as many accessories into a single package as possible.
"The Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head toys were already made out of the same potato-shaped base but came with different gendered accessories", a report from WDWNT reads. "A single Potato Head toy set will make marketing and packaging simpler for Hasbro."
So long Mr. Mister Potato Head and hello...Potato Head? Yep, that's where we are now.
According to a report from our news partners at KWTX, Hasbro has decided that Mr. Potato Head will be gender neutral from here on out. The change is expected some time this year.
The change comes as other toymakers have also been making changes to some of their most popular lines over the last few years. For Example, Barbie has changed her skin tone and body shape as a way to relate to more girls. American Girl now sells a boy doll as well. Even Thomas the Tank Engine has added more girl characters to its world.
I agree that some changes should be made, but in my opinion, changing Mr. Potato Head does nothing for the movement and is really going overboard. They already have a female version of the potato head, so what about Mrs. Potato Head? Are they just gonna discontinue her altogether? Mash her up with butter and sour cream and pretend she never existed? No, they won't, but Hasbro did say that both will live on in some form although no details have been given as of yet.
Ali Mierzejewski, editor in chief at toy review site The Toy Insider, says "It's setting this new standard." Meaning that dropping the "Mr." could help encourage other companies to keep toys gender neutral as well.
Yea, I still think it's going too far. Some things are identified by their gender. Don't kids also need to learn about different genders? A toy truck is gender neutral. So is a Ring Pop. Apparently having both a Mr. and a Mrs. Potato Head was just too confusing for the little ones.
Perhaps I'm just note "woke" enough yet.

For fans of Deepak Chopra, Rudy Tanzi, and Andrew Newberg. A renowned behavioral neurologist provides insights to some of the most curious spiritual questions we all face. Is there a God?It's a question billions of people have asked since the dawn of time. You would think by now we'd have a satisfactory, universal answer. No such luck ... Or maybe we do and we just need to look in the right place. For Dr. Jay Lombard that place is the brain, and more importantly the mind, that center of awareness and consciousness that creates reality.In The Mind of God, Dr. Lombard employs case studies from his own behavioral neurology practice to explore the spiritual conundrums that we all ask ourselves: What is the nature of God? Does my life have purpose? What's the meaning of our existence? Are we free? What happens to us when we die?For Lombard, these metaphysical questions are a jumping-off point for exploring the brain in search of the seat of the soul.

Q: How do I remove a specific part of a string? I'd like to remove a specific part of a string within a pandas df. More precisely, I want the script to remove everything within '(' and ')'.
Example:
'3453(s656)s(657)' -script-> '3453s'

Is there an easy implemented python function or need I to script it by my self?
Thanks for any help!

A: You could use str.replace. Here's an example dataframe:
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1':['3453(s656)s(657)', 'another(---)string']})

df['col1'] = df.col1.str.replace(r'(\(.*?\))', '')
        col1
0          3453s
1  anotherstring

A: you could implement a simple python function to do just the following as:
def speclace(a)
    x=""
    s=0
    for i in a:
        if i=='(':
            s=1
        elif i==')':
            s=0
        elif s==0:
            x+=i
return x

Hey, everybody! Good morning! How are you all doing? Hopefully in finer spirits than you were yesterday.
I've never practiced magick, because with that kind of power comes responsibility. If a novice spellcaster casts a love spell, then there's a high chance that'll backfire. Love spells should be casted by rather accomplished and experienced spellcasters such as Ashra Koehn in my opinion.
However, I'd rather have a spellcaster use white magic than black magic; I don't trust black magic because it's dangerous, unpredictable and thrives off negative energy gathered from sinister forces. You're affecting free will plus bringing yourself and possibly your loved ones some very bad karma.
White magic, on the other hand, draws strength from the forces of nature. Sure, it may be slower but white magic will never harm anyone nor bring about bad karma. In addition, Ashra uses and prefers this type of magic, which is another reason why I trust her.
Ashra is the one and only spellcaster who'll have your best interests at heart. You should definitely put her faith in her, because she'll never lead you astray. Also, her high success rate speaks volumes, does it not?
Have a wonderful day, everyone! Shining love and light to all! Here's some positive vibes headed your way!
Most of the time the love spell is backfiring for some people when they are using black magic one.
However when it comes to Ashra, I believe her spells won't ever be backfire whether it's white magic and or her black magic one because Ashra is already an experienced spellcaster and really proffessional. She knows what she's been doing so we can expect that the spell that we are getting from her will never be backfire.
Besides she is the best spellcaster and I really trust her, her spells won't backfire because she also personalizing those spells with our situations.
Ashra is so genius and really an expert so we can trust her believe me guys her spells will never let us down and it will never backfire.
Unless you are experienced it is advised that you don't practice magic. If you aren't experienced it's not good idea to try it. But if you are experienced then go for it. But I would say just have an experienced person like Ashra cast the spell for you. My parents/family all don't believe in magic or spells, but I will and always will believe in it no matter what. I will always even believe in ashra. She is a talented spell caster who helps a lot.
Hey everyone!!!! I hope your all are doing good and having an amazing day. Ashra's love spells will never backfire on you, or your situation. It's always very safe and it's also white magic love spells that Ashra does, and also she does everything with care and to guarantee success for your spell. The kind of love spells which can possibly backfire is black magic love spells and they are not good and they are really dangerous too so stay away from it as it can bring you only harm and to the one who does it and also for your situation as the result will never last. Ashra's spells are amazing and they are permanent too.
I don't believe that Ashra casts any love spells that would backfire. she is a very experienced spell caster who primarily deals with white magic spells that harness the power of the universe and the energy around us and that comes from us. I believe that our actions and vibes that we put off are what guides and affects her spells and nothing harmful. she also offers some black magic spells and those can backfire if they are cast by someone who is inexperienced or if they are cast with malicious intent.
I'm so sorry that has happened to you!! Did Ashra fixed the problem that the previous spell caster did to your situation? Did you tell Ashra what happened? And I do believe love spells can backfire depending on the spell caster and their intentions behind it.
you're right! Ashra's spells don't backfire! As long as you follow the rules and guidelines she has posted for us, then we will be fine!!!
I don't think that Ashra has had any of her love spells to backfire. I doubt very seriously that she would have all of the success stories, positive reviews, and an ever growing client base if that was ever the case. I would not trust a love spell from any other spell casters to not backfire. if that is one of your concerns, then your best bet would be to stick with Ashra. I would not even look at another spell caster.
Usually white magic spells do not back fire or harm anyone but if you use black magic and are inexperienced it will hurt the spell caster and the target.So stay with Ashra and you can't go wrong you get experience and no harm to anyone because she would not cast a spell to hurt herself or you or the target.Most other casters take your money and don't care because there spells don't work unless it's black magic.
Since Ashra uses White Magic, it will never backfire because it is pure and good. Although she has lots of experience with it as she also has been doing it for years. However, Black Magic will or can harm you, if it is not handled in the right way but it can definitely backfire to you and the spell caster. So yes, I would say to stick with Ashra.
Hello everyone! How are all of you doing? The only spells that backfire are those black magic spells that are done by a unpractice spell caster. Those kind of magic really does backfire in the long run. For me, I will only trust Ashra and her spells. I think Ashra also offers black magic spells but with Ashra, we know that those spells will never backfire. Only trust the best spell caster, and don't trust those spell casters who claimed that they can work love spells for our situations. Good luck and take care everyone!
Hello everyone! I hope all of you are doing just okay today. I agree with Michele Dedel. Love spells can backfire if they are performed by an inexperienced spellcaster. This is why we need to be more careful and do a lot of research before asking someone to cast a spell on your behalf. I have been working with Ashra for so long, and I haven't felt anything strange from her spells. She has been casting for almost 19 years and I could say that she is very talented in this field. If you plan to buy spells, then just go to her. Her white magic is pure and safe to deal with. Sending lots of kisses and hugs for you all!!!
The only reason that spells backfire is if they are casted by someone who is inexperienced, or someone who uses black magic. In our cases, Ashra is neither inexperienced (obviously she has 18 years of experience), nor is she a black spell caster (which again makes us lucky). Just take a deep breath and rest assured that Ashra only uses white, and her spells won't backfire on us.
I do agree with others that Ashra knows her stuff and have no fear your spell casted through her will not backfire. Not only that, but it will work!!!
Hello everyone! Good Morning. How are all of you doing? Spells does backfire if you had entrust your situation with a inexperienced spell caster who uses black magic spells. Black magic is very unsafe. It uses biological samples for the spells to work and yes, it does backfire in the long run. You really need to avoid these kind of spell caster using this type of magic because it can cause harm to yourself and to the people surrounding you. Trust Ashra Koehn only because she uses White magic spells. Good luck and take care everyone!

Social and Cultural Perspectives on Health, Technology and Medicine: Old Concepts, New Problems
Kirsten Bell, Ciara Kierans, Carol Kingdon
School of Life and Health Sciences
Centre for Integrated Research in Life and Health Sciences
Developments in health, science and technology have long provided fertile analytical ground for social science disciplines. This book focuses on the critical and enduring importance of core concepts in anthropology and sociology for interrogating and keeping pace with developments in the life sciences. The authors consider how transformations in medical and scientific knowledge serve to reanimate older controversies, giving new life to debates about relations between society, culture, knowledge and individuals. They reflect on the particular legacies and ongoing relevance of concepts such as 'culture', 'society', 'magic', 'production', 'kinship', 'exchange' and 'the body'. The chapters draw on the work of key historical and contemporary figures across the social sciences and include a range of illustrative case studies to explore topics such as transplant medicine, genetic counselling, cancer therapy, reproductive health and addiction. Of particular interest to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, and science and technology studies, this volume will also be a valuable resource for those working in the fields of health and medicine.

For Oxford kids who have completed 5th - 8th grade.
Children who have completed fifth grade may join either camp - Huskies or Teen Travel or split between the two (full weeks only). Please keep in mind, once they have signed up for a week in one camp you cannot transfer that week to the other camp. You can however, sign up for some weeks in one and some weeks in the other, provided that it's all done by the final registration dates and that there's still room in the travel camp.
Here's how Travel Camp works: On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of each week registered campers are dropped off at Posypanko Park where they will board a bus to somewhere different each day. They will return to Posy at the end of the day where their parents can pick them up.
On Thursdays, drop off your camper(s) at Community Chapel (formerly Colonial Tavern), where the kids will have a pool party with a DJ.
On Friday, campers will be picked up by bus at Posypanko Park and taken to Jackson Cove for the week's activity.
Lunch is included at least 2 days each week.
You can register for any week or any combination of weeks you want. Only restriction is you must register early.
Our counselors return year after year and most have been trained and certified in CPR, First Aid, Bloodborne Pathogens and EpiPen administration.
Deadline to register is June 3rd. If there are still openings after June 3rd, we will continue to accept registrations, with a $25 late fee per child - per week, up until one week before the start date you want, provided there is still room. We are limited to 43 kids each week.
LATE FEE ASSESSED AS OF JUNE 4th. If you choose to register after June 3rd and do so one week at a time, you will be charged $25 each week.
Camp Manuals will be available online. The manual provides greater detail about the trips, what time we would be expected back on each day, what days include lunch and what days do not.
All participants will be given a T-Shirt that they must wear on camp trips. The shirt is used to identify that they are part of our group. There will be some days that pick up will be at a later time depending on the trip that day.
Please note that our camp director will eblast the Thursday before each camp week with lunch information, any time changes, detailed trip info and any other information that has changed or is not included in the camp manual. PLEASE LOOK FOR THAT EMAIL!

Mickey Harte's 2005 All Stars ran out victors in today's Vodafone GAA All Stars exhibition match in Dubai, as they beat the 2006 team 4-13 to 3-10.
Derry attacker Paddy Bradley led the scoring for the 2005 selection, notching 2-05, while Tyrone's Sean Cavanagh hit the net twice in the second half.
The sides were level at 1-07 apiece at the break – retired Kerry star Seamus Moynihan, who captained last year's All-Stars, showed his old spark to race up and beat Paul Hearty with a measured goal finish.
The 2006 side, managed by Kerry's All-Ireland winning boss Jack O'Connor, had points in the first half from Nicholas Murphy, Sean O'Sullivan, Ross Munnelly, Alan Dillon and James Masters.
But Harte's outfit took over after the resumption in temperatures touching the mid-20s.
The energetic Cavanagh found Alan Quirke's net on two occasions before Masters and Dublin's Alan Brogan replied with green flags at the other end.
Bradley's second goal, allied to a smattering of points which included an inspiring long range shot from Armagh goalkeeper Hearty, saw the 2005 side canter out to a six-point win.
The day began on a sombre note for Dublin defender Shane Ryan, who lined out at left half-back on the 2006 team.
His paternal grandfather, Seamus O'Riain, who was GAA President from 1967 to 1970, died in the early hours of the morning.
A minute's silence was held in his honour before throw-in in Dubai.
Vodafone GAA Football All Stars 2005: Paul Hearty (Armagh); Ryan McMenamin (Tyrone), Michael McCarthy (Kerry), Andy Mallon (Armagh); Graham Canty (Cork), Conor Gormley (Tyrone), Aaron Kernan (Armagh); Paul McGrane (Armagh), Sean Cavanagh (Tyrone); Brian Dooher (Tyrone), Peter Canavan (Tyrone) (capt), Owen Mulligan (Tyrone); Paddy Bradley (Derry), Stephen O'Neill (Tyrone), Steven McDonnell (Armagh).
Vodafone GAA Football All Stars 2006: Alan Quirke (Cork); Barry Owens (Fermanagh), Karl Lacey (Donegal), Seamus Moynihan (Kerry) (capt); Ger Spillane (Cork), Aidan O'Mahony (Kerry), Shane Ryan (Dublin); Nicholas Murphy (Cork), Sean O'Sullivan (Kerry); Alan Brogan (Dublin), Alan Dillon (Mayo), Conor Mortimer (Mayo); James Masters (Cork), Ross Munnelly (Laois), Brian Kavanagh (Longford).

Q: Проверка на наличие объекта javascript После ajax запроса function(data) проверяю наличие нужного объекта.
..., function(data)
{
    if (typeof(data.ads.photo) == "undefined")
        {
           console.log ('есть фото');
        }
    else
       {
          console.log ('нет фото');
       }
}

В чём проблема.
Такая проверка не заходит ни в if ни в else
Но если поставить проверку:
if (typeof(data.ads) == "undefined")

тогда показывать наличие или отсутствие. Что может быть не так?

A: Так как data.ads неопределено, попытка обращения к data.ads.photo вызывает исключение, прерывающее исполнение кода.
if (!data || !data.ads || !data.ads.photo)
{
   console.log ('нет фото');
}
else
{
   console.log ('есть фото');
}

A: Причина названа в ответе @Igor, я лишь предложу более изящное решение:
..., function(data) {
  let photo, something;
  try {
    photo = data.ads.photo;
    something = data.ads.something;  // получение еще каких-либо данных из полей data
  } catch (err) {
    console.log ('опаньки... ' + err.message);
    return;
  }
  ... // делаем что-то с photo и прочими значениями из data. Если код здесь тоже небезопасен, то его можно перенести в тело try
}

var rslt = document.getElementById('result'),
    btns = document.querySelectorAll('.test-btn');
for (let btn of btns)
  btn.addEventListener('click', fetchData);

function fetchData(e) {
  console.clear();
  rslt.textContent = '\tПолучение данных... ';
  fetch('https://httpbin.org/get').then(r => r.json()).then(data => {
    let ip, ua, notExists;
    try {
      ip = data.origin;
      ua = data.headers['User-Agent'];
      if (e.target.id === 'test-two')
        notExists = data.noObject.noValue; // тут будет ошибка, и выполнение перейдет в catch
      rslt.textContent += `OK\n IP:${ip}\n UA:${ua}\n`;
    } catch (err) {
      rslt.textContent += 'ошибка!\n';
      console.log(err.stack);
    }
    rslt.textContent += '\tЗавершено.';  // выполняется вне зависимости от ошибок в try
  });
}

El asedio de Fort Watson fue un enfrentamiento de la Guerra de Independencia Estadounidense en Carolina del Sur que comenzó el 15 de abril de 1781 y duró hasta el 23 de abril de 1781. En ella las fuerzas del ejército continental bajo el mando de Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee y la milicia de Carolina del Sur bajo el mando de Francis Marion sitiaron Fort Watson, un puesto de avanzada británico fortificado que formaba parte de la cadena de comunicación y suministro entre Charleston y otros puestos de avanzada británicos más al interior.

Los atacantes, que carecían de artillería y fracasaron en los primeros intentos de capturarlo, construyeron una torre desde la cual los francotiradores pudieran disparar contra las paredes del fuerte. Con él lo atacaron el 23 de abril y las fuerzas británicas, no pudiendo controlar las murallas debido al fuego de mosquete desde la torre, se rindieron poco después.

Antecedentes
El teniente coronel John Watson ordenó la construcción de un fuerte para ayudar a defender la cadena de suministro británica desde Charleston hasta Camden, Carolina del Sur. Eligió construir este fuerte en la cima de un antiguo montículo ceremonial y entierro indio de Santee que había sido abandonado por los Santee cuando su número disminuía debido a las enfermedades traídas por los españoles. Se hizo entre finales de diciembre de 1780 y los finales de enero de 1781 y fue nombrado Watson en memoria suya.

El fuerte fue construido en la parte superior del montículo con tres filas de abatises flanqueando la base. Los abatises son troncos afilados y ramas que se unen para formar una barrera que es difícil de cruzar para los soldados de infantería rivales. Esta barrera tuvo éxito cuando el general Thomas Sumter intentó sin éxito atacar el fuerte el 28 de febrero de 1781.

Tras la batalla de Guilford Court House el 15 de marzo de 1781, el general Nathanael Greene volvió a entrar en Carolina del Sur para liberar al estado de la ocupación británica. Para hacer eso posible él decidió tomar las avanzadas británicas y para ello cortar las líneas de comunicación entre ellas para que no pudiesen tener más provisiones. Fort Watson era clave para esas líneas de comunicación y por eso se convirtió en objetivo militar para ese propósito.

El asedio
Por ello el 15 de abril de ese mismo año, el general de brigada Francis Marion y Henry Lee, bajo esa directriz, se aproximaron a Fort Watson otra vez e hicieron otro intento por capturar la fortaleza. La primera escaramuza resultó en el incendio del hospital del fuerte, pero no debilitó significativamente la fortificación principal. Marion ordenó que se cortara el suministro de agua del fuerte a través del río Santee y solicitó que se enviara artillería de las tropas estacionadas cerca de Camden.

La artillería solicitada nunca se materializó al igual que el intento de cortar el agua. Entonces el teniente coronel Hezekiah Maham, uno de los subordinados de Francis Marion, propuso construir una torre de asedio de madera. Esta torre de madera permitiría una ventaja vertical sobre los británicos y permitiría a los fusileros disparar directamente al fuerte. En el transcurso de los siguientes cinco días, los patriotas cortaron árboles para la torre de 40 pies. Esta técnica se llamaría "Torre Maham" en honor al Teniente Coronel y se volvería a utilizar en junio del mismo año para capturar Fort Cornwallis en Augusta, Georgia.

El 20 de abril se terminó la torre y el 22 de abril se acercó esa torre al fuerte. El 23 de abril de 1781 se posicionó la torre y un contingente disparó contra los británicos desde arriba mientras otro comenzaba a desmantelar los mataderos. Estando en desventaja, el teniente McKay rindió rápidamente el fuerte. Luego, una vez de que se retiraran las fuerzas británicas, el fuerte fue posteriormente destruido por los estadounidenses.

Consecuencias
Esta captura aseguró el cruce y el camino del río Santee para que los británicos no pudieran reabastecer a Camden, lo que provocó la pérdida británica del interior de Carolina del Sur después de la batalla de Hobkirk's Hill.

E.L. Katz Tells Lionsgate, "You'll Be The Death Of Me"
By TBA on November 20, 2014 2 - FILM NEWS, Attachments (Film)
by: Clark Allen
E.L. Katz has signed on to direct the comedy/thriller YOU'LL BE THE DEATH OF ME. The film follows two single New Yorkers who find their budding romance interrupted by an insane knife-weilding masked killer. The hybrid genre film was penned by scribe Mark Hammer and will be produced by Tood Lieberman's Mandeville for Lionsgate.
Katz is a hot commodity, coming right off of his first feature, "Cheap Thrills." The film is a hybrid dark comedy/horror concerning a wealthy couple that pits a struggling family man and his friend through a series of elaborate, twisted, and dangerously unsafe dares for the sake of entertainment during a single evening. The film starred David Koechner, Ethan Embry, Pat Healy, and Sara Paxton and premiered at SXSW, taking home the Audience Award and critic's pick for Best First Feature.
Katz has also written several short films and wrote the features "Autopsy," "What Fun We Were Having" and "Pop Skull." He also recently directed a segment for the horror anthology sequel "The ABC's of Death 2." Up next, he's writing the features "Dark Corners," "The Unholy" and "Zombie Pet Shop."
Katz is repped by Gersh and Jeremy Platt Management.
