Publishers and book clubs sometimes include promotional items in a book about either the author, the book itself, or other books for sale. I collect these ephemera when I find them, particularly those of a certain vintage from the early twentieth century and before (those featured here today are much newer). It is unusual, however, to find the variety of ephemera I found in the book shown here.
Tucked away in a first printing of The Hard Awakening, by H.B. Dehqani-Tafti (Seabury Press, 1981), several items of related book ephemera surfaced and entered my collection. Somebody made my job of finding bibliophemera a lot easier by including multiple items for this book and making it convenient for discovery some thirty years later.
The ephemera consists of a bookplate, bookmark, and a catalog of these items as well as additional books for sale. Each item is featured separately in the images below.
The book was written by the the first Iranian Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Iran during the first year of the Iranian Revolution, following the Shah's ousting, as the revolutionaries were taking power. With all the ensuing chaos in his country, the author left and was living in exile in England when the book was published. His account provides an insider's view of changing times in Iran during the late 1970s. Some of what the Bishop endured during that time is recounted in a memorial to him on the blog Not Worthy of the Name.
Back to the ephemera... The bookplate features the old lion and sun symbol of Iran. It was replaced after the revolution. I have no clue what the writing on the bookplate represents.
The book mark is double-sided and identified as a Hillspeak bookmark on one side with the accompanying quote from Bishop Dehqani-Tafti: "What is life worth if it is not lived for a purpose higher than one's own life? And what higher purpose than to do the will of God?" The reverse side offers another quote from Dahqani-Tafti: "You have taken the heavier burden, and therefore His grace will be all the more intense for you."
There is also the symbolic bloody hole on both sides of the bookmark. This may signify Christ's sacrifice on the cross, or perhaps it alludes to an attack on the Bishop and his wife in Iran. They were shot at while sleeping in their beds one night. The Bishop's wife was wounded in the arm, but the Bishop was not hit. He later found on his pillow four bullet holes on either side of where his head had been. It wasn't his day to die. Whether a nail or a bullet, the bloody hole makes for a dramatic design on the bookmark.
Finally, there is the catalog of books, bookplates, bookmarks and other items from Hillspeak, a society that promotes the activities and knowledge of the Episcopal Church through various publications and promotional items. The rear flap of the book's jacket has a sticker affixed to it that states "A Selection of the Episcopal Book Club." I suspect that Seabury published the book for the Episcopal Book Club (operated by Hillspeak) or at least reserved a number of copies for them and that's how their literature and ephemera found its way into the copy I have.
Cameos are small embossed advertising graphics on postal covers, popular in the nineteenth century. They are highly collectible today with the more elaborate designs for unusual businesses reaching prices upwards of a thousand dollars, some a good bit more. Most I've seen seem to fall in the $100 to $200 range. An exception was this little booksellers & publisher's cameo I picked up for around $15. It did have a tiny tear and was on the back of the envelope. The design is pretty much a standard shield, so those factors add up (or down) to an affordable cameo.
To see examples of what is also termed cameo corner card covers, click HERE for some interesting (and expensive!) designs that have sold at auction. A bookseller's cameos or anything book related is very scarce.
A. Tompkins was Abel Tompkins, a Universalist bookseller and publisher in Boston. His book shop was on Cornhill, a street known as an important center for the book trades in Boston during the 1800s. Tompkins' shop was at one time the headquarters of the Universalist ministers.
Just as I began to think I was in for a struggle to piece together bits of biographical data on Tompkins, I stumbled upon an obituary page from 1863 (year of Tompkins' death) from the Universalist Register, which provides a nice little biography of Mr. Tompkins. The preceding link takes you to it, but I'll also copy it here in case the site, or that page, disappears one day.
Abel Tompkins, (the publisher for 26 years of our "Ladies Repository,"-for 14 years, of our "Register,"-for 13 years of our "Quarterly,"-for 12 years of our "Rose of Sharon," and, during the past 25 years, of a large proportion of our Sunday School and other denominational books,) died in Boston, April 7, 1862. Born in Boston, June 22, 1810, he was reared there, and learned book binding. In 1830, he became much interested in Father Ballou's preaching, and exerted himself to get up the Sunday School in his church, and to effect improvements in the appearance of our books. In 1836, he purchased the "Ladies' Repository," and opened a small bookstore. From this period, his name is intimately connected with our literature, the encouragement of our literary talent, and the general progress of our cause in Boston and the region round about. Whatever he touched showed his correct taste and improving skill. He was one of the earliest members of the Warren street church, and among the first to discern and encourage the merit of our early writers-Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Mayo and her husband, Mrs. Jerauld, Mrs. Soule, E. H. Chapin and others. When the "Universalist Expositor," after several ineffectual efforts was abandoned, he revived it, and as the "Universalist Quarterly," continued it to his death, leaving an injunction to continue it, if possible. Yet it was never a profit, often a loss to him. The "Rose of Sharon," (1840-1852) was one of the best annuals of its time, and did more than any other work, to introduce favorably to the outside world, Universalists and their writings. He was ever planning and working to exalt, improve and extend a knowledge of the character of our denomination, and his first thought in undertaking any publication, seemed to be whether it would be creditable and usefu1 to our cause. Yet admirable as was his denominational spirit, he was equally estimable for his public and social, and beloved for his domestic and private life. He honored nobility of soul, and goodness, scholarship, and genius of whatever sect-whatever was beautiful in nature or art, or excellent in humanity. Thus intelligent, genial, and affectionate-forbearing, generous and charitable-he died as he lived, a Universalist; and those who knew and loved him, in their admiration of the man, and sorrow at his death, forget (if they knew) that he had any of the imperfections and frailties of our common humanity.
Coincidentally, the sender of the letter with the Tompkins cameo was Rev. Otis A. Skinner, whose biography is also listed an a Universalist Register obituary page. Nothing on the recipient of the letter, though--Rev. J.P. Weston of Waterville, Maine.
Yes, Bookshope (a spelling translation error perhaps). Modern East Bookshope, to be exact, according to this piece of postal history from Iraq.
I cannot find one iota of information about this book shop (or shope) or Hassan Morad, whom I assume was the shop's proprietor. I wonder, though, if the shop might have been located on Baghdad's historic street of booksellers, Mutanabbi Street, much of which was destroyed by a car bomb on March 5, 2007.
The backside of the envelope could offer some clues about the time period that the Modern East Bookshope was in business, but the cancellation date is illegible. The stamps however are a good backup to determining the year. I can't find them yet, but they appear to be 1930s or 1940s issues. The addressee on the letter, Fleming Calendar Company, appears to have been in business from the 1930s-1950s, as records available on the Internet would indicate. That's consistent with my guess on the stamps' issue date.
This last paragraph has nothing to do, specifically, with the postal cover above, but it relates directly to both ephemera and books. I came across something interesting while researching the Modern East Bookshope and I wanted to include some information about it here. The response to the bombing of al-Mutanabbi Street evoked outrage, resulting in at least one creative project I know of--The Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition, which called on letterpress printers to create broadsides to protest and commemorate the bombing. More than 100 (130 by some counts) broadsides have been created thus far and are permanently housed at the Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center for Book Arts, in the Wimberly Library at Florida Atlantic University.
Here's a pair of Victorian trade cards that offer a bit of bookselling and printing history, with an unintended vocabulary lesson thrown in.
As usual, these cards offer images that are colorful and attractive (children playing games in this case), but have nothing to do with the business they represent. Oftentimes, the bookseller would have his business particulars printed on the reverse side. With these cards, that information is printed on the illustrated side in only three lines. The reverse side is blank.
Both cards were printed by Eugene Ketterlinus in Philadelphia (fine print in lower-right corner), whose building, coincidentally, was demolished in the 1960s for the U.S. Mint building (so... from print to mint). On that same site in the 1850s, a bookseller had plied his trade. Ketterlinus demolished that building and built a new structure in the 1850s, ensuring a long business history at that location from books to printing (from trade cards to money).
William Patton, the bookselling proprietor listed on the above trade cards, was born in 1809, probably in Brooklyn, NY, as that's where his Scotch-Irish parents immigrated. Here's where the vocabulary lesson comes in. Patton grew up in New York and became a button chaser. Taken literally, that occupation conjures up some strange visuals.
It took a bit digging around the Internet and even a few books (old-fashioned research) to find what I think is the answer. A button chaser was an engraver of some sort. Perhaps silver or perhaps prints. For Patton, I would think prints because he was known to be an avid reader and discovered he liked bookselling better than button chasing (apologies to the grammar police if I just verbed a noun... oops, I did it again).
He came to Waterbury a button chaser and became one of the first in town to engage in that line of work. His love of books and reading, however, turned his attention to the bookselling business, and he became the pioneer bookseller of Waterbury--the very first one. He continued in that business for over forty years, adding newspaper publishing and a bookbindery to his business in 1848. He had his trade cards printed in Philadelphia (why not New York, I wonder?) by Ketterlinus. At the time these trade cards were issued, the name of the business appears to have been Ye Anciente Bookstore, but I don't know if the business always had that name.
In 1848 he located in the old Lyceum Building, and connected a book bindery with his store. In 1852 the store was removed to the Arcade, and in 1859 to the Hotchkiss Block. Shortly afterward the store was removed to the present Ells Building, on Bank Street, where the business was carried on by Mr. Patton until 1883. In that year it was sold to George N. Ells, who conducted The Haunt under his name until his death a few years ago. The George N. Ells Company was then organized and the business has been carried on under its management since the death of Mr. Ells.
A good source for information on William Patton and the history of Waterbury, Connecticut was found in the book, The Town and City of Waterbury, Connecticut, from the Aboriginal Period to the Year Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Five, edited by Joseph Anderson, D.D.
with the Assistance of Anna L. Ward (Price and Lee, 1896).
Alas, this and other sources took it for granted that a reader or researcher in 2010 would know what a button chaser was. I'm still not completely sure, but I think I've narrowed it down, though the term's etymology eludes me. I still don't see any connection between the name and the work involved.
Thankfully, bookseller is a name that has run a consistent course of nomenclature throughout the previous millennium. I wonder, though... In 2110, will some historian researching an old seller of bits and bytes of digital information puzzle over the term bookseller?
Buckley & Curtin were printers and bookbinders in San Francisco around the turn of the last century. Other than their billhead above, I can find barely a trace that they existed. So this post is about to veer off on a tangent into unbookish waters because there's enough on the name associated with the order to keep this post going.
From Buckley & Curtin's billhead slogan, I assume that printing was their mainstay, more so than bookbinding, and they aimed to please with perfection: "Perfect Printing Pleases." I hope for their sake that their customer was perfectly pleased with the order. But then the total cost for all that was only $15.
The Board of Education (San Francisco I presume) ordered 8,000 admittance cards for Madame Schumann-Heink back in December of 1913. Had the Board not liked the final product, they would have had 8,000 reasons to be angry with Buckley & Curtin.
Sounds like a lot of cards and a lot of admittance to something. But admittance to what? Finding the answer to that question begins with asking another question. Who was Madame Schumann-Heink?
Ernestine Schumann-Heink (15 June 1861 – 17 November 1936) was a celebrated operatic contralto, noted for the size, beauty, tonal richness, flexibility and wide range of her voice.
The lowest of the female voice-types, this is an extremely rare bird and true contralto roles are few and far between.
I'm guessing the Board of Education had something to do with a concert for the rare bird, Schumann-Heink, and was trying to bolster attendance at her shows with the admittance cards (what else could the be for?). Coincidentally, at the time of this billhead, Schumann-Heink was living on about 500 acres near San Diego. So maybe she was touring California giving concerts and San Francisco was one of the stops. But why the Board of Education needed 8,000 admittance cards for her show was another mystery.
As I researched this, I wondered if there was even a venue in California in 1913 that could seat 8,000 or more? None of the old Opera Houses I've come across would seat anywhere near that number. And if she could have gotten 8,000 people to come hear her sing, she must have been a rock star of her times.
...managers of the San Diego Panama-California Exposition declared March 22, 1915 "Schumann-Heink Day." Some 6,000 schoolchildren sang "America" before the singer at the Balboa Park Organ Pavilion. Mayor Charles O'Neall presented her with an honorary citizenship award. In return, she promised to give a free concert at the Exposition in June.
On the evening of June 23, the eagerly-awaited event occurred. For the over 27,000 people at the Pavilion, it was the event of the year. A San Diego Sun reporter reached for the limits of hyperbole: "The greatest organ, the greatest voice, the greatest chorus, the greatest outdoors on earth, she's golrious (sic)." At the diva's request, attendants allowed children under 16 to enter the grounds free.
So she was a "rock star!" I'm astounded by the 6,000 school kids singing for her and the 27,000 that attended her concert. This was 1913 and those numbers seem quite astonishing. Many star performers today don't get those kind of attendance figures. I once saw Luciano Pavarotti, an operatic superstar of his time, in a venue that seated about 15,000 and maybe half the arena was filled.
And with that, I guess this post is over.
For Independence Day in America and all the proud displays and waving of the country's star-spangled banner, here's a rare books auction catalog that features the autograph manuscript of The Defence of Fort McHenry, otherwise known as The Star-Spangled Banner, the nation's anthem that will be heard "o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave" today.
This catalog sports the lengthy title: Rare Books, Autographs, Manuscripts, Drawings, Including the Autograph Manuscript of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and Many Other Properties of Outstanding Importance from Distinguished Sources.
The auction was held at American Art Association - Anderson Galleries in New York City, with the sale (Sale 4073) conducted by Hiram H. Parke and Otto Bernet, who would later open their world famous Parke-Bernet Galleries. But in January of 1934, they were auctioning from the collection of the late Henry Walters the original autograph manuscript of Francis Scott Key's The Defence of Fort McHenry ["The Star-Spangled Banner"] together with a unique copy of the earliest broadside edition.
During the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key, an American lawyer detained on a British truce ship in Baltimore Harbor, witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry through the night of September 13, 1814. Early the next morning, as daylight revealed to him that the American flag still flew over the fort, he knew the defense had been successful, and he was inspired to write the poem In Defence of Fort McHenry.
A few days later, released by the British, Key copied and revised his poem and showed it to Judge Joseph H. Nicholson, his wife's brother-in-law who was a commander at the fort during the bombardment. Nicholson's reaction was very enthusiastic and he quickly had it printed into broadsides that included instructions for singing it to the tune of an old British drinking song "To Anacreon in Heaven," which Key had in mind while writing the poem.
The broadsides made their way around Fort McHenry and the city of Baltimore, where a month later it was performed for the first time to music with the title changed to The Star-Spangled Banner.
But Key's handwritten verse that was used to have the broadsides printed evidently stayed with Judge Nicholson. It would be handed down through the Nicholson family for the next 93 years. In 1907, it left the family and was purchased by Henry Walters, referenced earlier in this post (see link above). He died in 1931 and the manuscript went on the auction block three years later as the premier item listed in the catalog pictured near the beginning of this article.
The Walters Art Gallery (yes, Henry Walters) purchased the manuscript at this auction for $26,400. They held it until 1953 when the Maryland Historical Society purchased it for the same price that the Walters Art Gallery had paid in 1934. The manuscript still resides in their collection today.
As an afterword to the history of Key's manuscript and its passage through the American Art Association - Anderson Galleries' auction catalog, for which I have presented my copy here, it's interesting to note that it wasn't until March 3, 1931 that the Star-Spangled Banner became the national anthem of the United States. One-hundred and sixteen years after it was first written, President Herbert Hoover signed an act into law. In celebration of July 4th, many patriotic songs will be sung and played by orchestras across America, but Francis Scott Key's inspired verse will be at the head of that musical parade.


The Jet Propulsion Laboratory Carbon Dioxide Laser Absorption Spectrometer (CO2LAS) utilizes Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) at 2.05 μm to obtain CO2 column mixing ratios weighted heavily in the boundary layer. CO2LAS employs a coherent detection receiver and continuous-wave Th:Ho:YLF laser transmitters with output powers around 100 milliwatts. An offset frequency-locking scheme coupled to an absolute frequency reference enables the frequencies of the online and offline lasers to be held to within 200 kHz of desired values.

José Aldo da Silva Oliveira Jnior, also known as "Junior," made his professional MMA debut at the age of 17 on August 10, 2004 at EcoFight 1. He faced fellow countryman and newcomer Mário Bigola, whom he knocked out in only 16 seconds of the first round. Bigola's first and only professional fight would take place.
In his second fight for Shooto Brazil, Aldo faced fellow Brazilian Hudson Rocha. The fight was stopped by a doctor at the end of the first round due to a cut over Rocha's left eye caused by Aldo's flying knee followed by a barrage of punches. Rocha regained his feet only to be met with more strikes and a knee before Aldo kicked his legs out from under him.
Five months later, at Shooto – Brazil 7, he faced MMA newcomer Luiz de Paula. Early in the fight, Aldo took de Paula down in the clinch. He quickly gained mount and rained punches before transitioning to an arm-triangle choke, which forced de Paula to tap at 1:54 of the first round. Aldo spent the next several years hopping from one organisation to the next. On May 12, 2005, he faced Vale Tudo and Shooto veteran Aritano Silva Barbosa, who had lost four of his previous five fights, at Rio MMA Challenge 1.
In the opening seconds of the fight, Aldo landed two knees to Barbosa's chin, sending him to the canvas where Aldo swarmed with punches. Barbosa attempted a single-leg takedown, but Aldo drew away and landed two soccer kicks on the prone Barbosa before the fight was stopped at twenty seconds of the first round, awarding Aldo the knockout victory. Less than two months later, at Meca World Vale Tudo 12, Aldo faced newcomer Anderson Silvério. At 8:33 into the first round, he also defeated Silvério with soccer kicks.
World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 28, 2010. All WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC as part of the merger. On Saturday, November 20, 2010, at UFC 123, Aldo became the first-ever UFC Featherweight Champion, receiving the first-ever UFC featherweight title belt. His first defence was scheduled for UFC 125 against Josh Grispi. After suffering a neck injury, Aldo was forced to withdraw from UFC 125.
Aldo announced his retirement from MMA on September 18, 2022, the same day his son was born, with one fight remaining on his UFC contract. He has been granted official release and is now free to pursue other opportunities.

John M. Buckwalter, chairman of Lancaster (Pa.) Newspapers Inc., which publishes the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era and the Sunday News, died unexpectedly the night of Aug. 11 while on a family vacation in Maine, He was 79.
Buckwalter spent all his 64 working years at Lancaster Newspapers, the company's Website reported.
In 2004, he also was named chairman of Steinman Enterprises, which includes Lancaster County Weeklies Inc., Lancaster Farming Inc., Intelligencer Printing Co., Delmarva Broadcasting Co., Steinman Coal Corp. and Steinman Park Restaurant Inc.
Buckwalter was involved in development of the Lancaster County Convention Center and Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square hotel. "Despite community opposition and roadblocks along the way, Buckwalter was tenacious about the project, which had a $177.6 million price tag and was the most expensive project in Lancaster's history when it opened in June 2009," the newspapers reported.
Just 17 days earlier, Caroline Steinman Nunan died at 85. She was a daughter of newspaper publisher Col. James Hale Steinman and a director of Steinman Enterprises (E&P Online, July 27).
"To lose Carrie and him, we've lost an awful lot this summer in the way of leadership in our city," Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray was quoted saying.
Buckwalter started at Lancaster Newspapers as a teenage messenger and worked in various positions on his way to the top. His father, Isaac Z. "I.Z." Buckwalter, worked for the company for 43 years.
After earning graduating from Harvard Business School, Buckwalter served in the Army with childhood friend Paul A. Mueller Jr., who became a Lancaster County judge.
When Buckwalter returned to Lancaster, he worked in the newspapers' advertising department.
In 1978, Buckwalter voted with other directors to keep the newspapers' headquarters in downtown Lancaster rather than move to a suburban site under consideration.
Among the significant investments with which Buckwalter was involved were the company's production plant, built in 1982, and the $13.5 million flexo press installed there six years later.
Buckwalter saw the business through the current difficult economic times, including last year's merger of the Intelligencer Journal and Lancaster New Era into one newspaper and the accompanying job losses.
Besides serving on the boards of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association and the International Newspaper Advertising Executives, Buckwalter was a member of several local civic and business organizations.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Sara "Sally" Tucker Buckwalter, three daughters and several grandchildren.

With 257K doses anticipated, state task force to urge vaccination
LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday created a bipartisan commission to teach people in Michigan about the new coronavirus vaccines and encouraging people to get the shot.
"This commission will help raise awareness of the safety and effectiveness of approved COVID-19 vaccines, they'll educate the people of our state and they'll help protect the health and safety of all Michigan residents," Whitmer said.
Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist will chair the Protect Michigan Commission alongside former Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, a Republican; Michigan's chief medical executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, Detroit Pistons player Blake Griffin; Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha; SER Metro CEO Eva Dewaelsche; Soumit Pendharkar the health administrator for the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians; Spectrum Health President & CEO Tina Freese Decker; and Jamie Brown, registered nurse and president of the Michigan Nurses Association.
"One of the important messages that has to be delivered is that even though the timeframe itself was condensed, none of the steps for the approval of a vaccine were skipped," Calley said.
Hanna-Attisha, who's research has been used to fight the water crisis in Flint, tweeted about her new role.
"Together, embracing each other and science, we will defeat this virus," Hanna-Attisha's tweet read.
At least 50 other members will work with the co-chairs to not only advise Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, but design outreach for communities that may be hesitant to get the vaccines.
"By being a part of this commission, it will create a direct pipeline of information in terms of process and efficiency directly through to the backbone of our economy, which is small businesses," said Calley, who says he will get a vaccine when one becomes available to him.
As the nation waits for the Food and Drug Administration to greenlight the relief the country needs, commission co-chairs like Calley implore their neighbors to listen to science.
"The way out of this is to get to a point where people are immune to the virus," Calley said.
If you want to be a member, you can apply online at Michigan.gov/appointments by Dec. 28.
The commission will submit a report on its work to the governor by Dec. 31.
STATE COULD GET 84,000 VACCINE DOSES NEXT WEEK
As the commission was announced at a press conference in Lansing, Dr. Khaldun renewed her call for all adults to start planning how they will get the vaccine, the Pfizer version of which could be approved soon.
Khaldun said vaccines will only be approved if they undergo rigorous trials and if top scientists and doctors determine they are safe.
"It is very important that you know what to expect. These vaccines work by preparing your body to fight the real virus if it comes into contact with it. That means many people will get mild symptoms after getting the vaccine, like a sore arm, a low-grade fever or general malaise," she explained. "That is something to expect and it means that the vaccine is working."
After approval, Michigan expects its first shipment of Pfizer vaccines to include about 84,000 doses. Assuming Moderna's vaccine will also be approved later this month, Michigan will get 173,000 doses right away. The Pfizer vaccine requires two shots three weeks apart and the Moderna vaccine two shots four weeks apart.
The first doses doled out will go to health care workers and those living and working in long-term care facilities. As more shots are available, they will go to the next level of those most at risk, including essential workers, people with underlying health conditions and those older than 65. It will be some time — perhaps as late as April — before it's available to the lowest-risk tiers of the general public.
Khaldun urged people to talk to their family members about getting the vaccines, and to go only to trusted sources like the state, hospitals and local health departments for information about the shot.

NEARLY 6,000 MORE CASES CONFIRMED
MDHHS on Thursday announced 5,937 more cases of the virus had been confirmed in Michigan and 182 more related deaths recorded. Of those, 132 were discovered as state health workers reviewed death certificates to find any that had not previously been reported.
On Wednesday, labs in Michigan tested 58,861 samples for the virus and 6,297 were positive, a rate of 10.7%.
In all, the virus has now infected 421,137 people in Michigan since March and been linked to 10,395 deaths.
"I can tell you that these cases and deaths are not just numbers. These are people's family members, their friends, their colleagues, and every life lost was an important one," Khaldun said. "I can tell you that people are not just automatically recovering from this virus. This is not a cold that you just get over. Many people are still presenting to the emergency department weeks after they have been diagnosed with complications and we are still learning more and more about the long-term health consequences of having this virus, so we just have to remain vigilant."
Kent County added 544 confirmed cases in Thursday's update for a total of 36,432 since March. It recorded 12 more deaths for a total of 427.

Several other West Michigan counties also recorded additional deaths:

Van Buren County: Two more deaths for 56 total; 3,312 total cases.
The number of deaths in Mecosta County was revised down by one to 11. This has not been unusual as cases are double-checked and sometimes moved between jurisdictions. In all, Mecosta County has had 1,396 total cases.
Wayne County, which has seen more deaths than any other county, recorded 15 more for a total of 3,196. It also confirmed 1,003 more cases for a total of 69,584 since the start of the outbreak. Neighboring Oakland County has had 47,307 confirmed cases (611 more than the previous day) and 1,401 deaths (21 more). Macomb County has had 41,979 cases (517 more) and 1,329 deaths (25 more).
In Kalamazoo County, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Chief Vernon Coakley announced Thursday he had contracted the virus. He said he had mild symptoms and was resting and recovering at home, and that he was in isolation.
IMPROVEMENTS IN METRICS CONTINUES
Michigan is currently seeing a surge in cases, with five times more cases and deaths than in early October and a positive test rate nearly five times higher than the 3% threshold that officials say shows community spread is controlled.
However, some recent metrics have been encouraging, with case rates declining slightly, the positivity rate on what a state epidemiologist called an "undulating plateau," and hospitalizations plateauing or decreasing in much of the state.
Grand Rapids-based Spectrum Health has seen a decline in COVID-19 inpatients over the past two weeks; as of Thursday, it had 292. Statewide, there were 3,875 adult inpatients suspected or confirmed to have the virus, 24 fewer than the day previous.
As of Saturday, Michigan ranked seventh in the nation in highest number of cases, fourth in highest number of deaths, 25th in case rates and eighth in death rates over the week, MDHHS said Wednesday, citing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control COVID Data Tracker. Each of those rankings were improvements over the previous week, with Michigan notably moving down five spots in case rates and two spots in death rates.
There concern there could be a spike in cases after Christmas. Public health officials have urged people not to travel or gather for the December holidays and instead choose virtual options to see their loved ones.
"2020 has been hard, but vaccines will be available soon," Khaldun said. "We are cautiously optimistic about the data we are seeing. I ask all of you to continue to doing the right thing."
Also at the Thursday press conference, Whitmer announced restaurants and other entertainment venues can postpone paying their sales, use and withholding taxes to the state until Jan. 20. The payments had been due Dec. 20.
The governor offered the grace period to businesses that are shut down or rely on dining in for the bulk of their revenue. Restaurant dining rooms, movie theaters and bowling alleys have been shut down for more than three weeks under an epidemic order aimed at curbing the spread of the virus and will remain closed at least through Dec. 20.

The economic and social activity that draws people to cities can often lead to an unwanted side effect – noise. High noise levels not only reduce the quality of life for people, they can also indicate potentially dangerous and even life-threatening situations. Monitor noise levels and reacting to sudden increases in noise levels can have a significant impact, therefore, on quality of life and public safety.
The NearSky smart city platform allows cities to easily deploy noise sensors to monitor and act on noise levels. The platform's NearSky 360 data hub can be deployed in minutes on any streetlight and provides a convenient mounting point for microphones that can increase situational awareness. In addition, software running within the hub captures and classifies sound signatures to detect anomalies and notifies officials when action is needed. Audio analytics makes municipal security proactive, potentially preventing incident escalation.

Q: Is there a way to access a live command shell for Ubuntu server online? I have setup a LAMP server with ubuntu server that I plan to do some game hosting with. Right now I am using Webmin for remoting in to my server. One major problem with webmin however, is that you can only enter one command into the command shell and are unable to use editors such as nano or vim through it. I would really like a live, responsive, command shell so I can work on my server where ever I am.

A: Install a SSH server (package openssh-server) on your server and a SSH client (package openssh-client on Ubuntu, there's a client for about any other system, too) on the hosts you want to access your server from.
Then you can use something like
  ssh server.example.com

on your local host to get a full remote shell on your server.

Once Upon A Time with Franny and Jane
For Franny and Jane, the story's the thing.
Franny (Frances Newcombe) studied children's book illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and believes that creating a fabric collection is a form of storytelling. And you may remember that Jane (aka QuiltJane) is a sucker for stories of crime and mystery (you can read our earlier interview with her here. So when the two of them got together to design a fabric collection for Moda, they wanted to tell a tale. The result is Manderley, a unique collection of ocean-and-mansion inspired fabrics.
Jane's Enchanted Garden pattern sewn in the seaside shades of Manderley
(A journalism professor told me never to use the word "unique," claiming that nothing truly is, but in this case I think he's wrong. While Manderley has all the elements of great collection of quilting fabric, it does double-duty, as it was designed specifically with English paper piecing—aka EPP—in mind. Elements within the fabric—flowers, turtles, bunnies, and birds—were scaled to fit perfectly within one-and two-inch EPP templates.)
So how do two people, who live on two separate continents—Fran in Los Angeles, and Jane near Brisbane, Australia—go about designing such a collection? Well, technology plays a big part in making it possible.
"We spend a lot of time on Skype and we text, too, so we communicate almost every day," says Fran. "We share files on Dropbox and share screens. But we do get distracted and laugh a lot."
Manderley's motifs fit perfectly in the EPP templates used to create these pillows.
That's probably because the two share more than computer skills. Fran remembers that when she and Jane met at Quilt Market in 2014, Jane called her a "soul sister."
"I somehow knew intuitively that we were meant to work together," says Fran.
Jane's Lotus pattern is on the right. Manderley's fresh colors really pop against the dark background.
While Fran's and Jane's creativity evidenced itself when they were young—both remember making doll clothes and Fran loved decorating her dollhouse—their lives took very different paths in adulthood. Jane trained as a scientist and worked in IT and bioscience, while Fran did television graphics for NBC, The Discovery Channel, and other stations. Both eventually left their full-time careers to freelance and spend more time with their sons—Jane has two and Fran has one—and both had fallen under the spell of quilting.
Their combined efforts bring the best of both their worlds—Jane mathematical and pattern design skills and Fran's drawing and graphic design skills have crossed over to enhance their line of fabrics. "Together we're a great match and hope to bring a wonderful product that people love," says Fran.
Their collection is named after the mansion in Rebecca, the 1938 novel by Daphne DuMaurier that was adapted into a thriller/mystery film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. Though the story's themes align with Jane's love of mystery—a young woman marries an older man and moves to his slightly sinister seaside manor—the fabrics are anything but gloomy and focus on secret gardens, Asian-inspired decorative elements, seashells, and flowers, all done in fresh hues. For Quilt Market, they took their story and worked it into an incredible range pillows, bags, coasters and quilts, including those Jane designed just for Manderley.
Jane's Baltimore by the Sea pattern
But that's their story. And now it's your turn. As Fran says, "With each choice a fabric designer makes, they are telling a unique story. In turn, the quilter will rearrange those fabrics to tell their own story."
Have you ever thought of quilting as storytelling? What's your story?

We had the BEST quilt show last week. We did a bed turning tea with two quilts from each member. Their first and last quilt was the theme to show how each had progressed through the years. I have always said that EVERY quilt has a story. The only complaint from our 120 tea attenders was that there was not enough Kleenex as there were some real tear jerkers. There are only 12 of us but we put on a memorable day. You should check it out at these links

Frances, you are always surprising us with beautiful work. I'm your fan number 1. Kisses to you and Jane
Thanks for this post….the fabrics are incredible! Those two ladies are a great talent match.

EllenB says:
Beautiful fabrics and quilt designs. Very talented ladies!
Mary Andra Holmes says:
Great posting. Thank you. Very talented Moda designers.
Sandra B says:
These fabrics are amazing! Cannot wait to get my hands on some of it….
I have never thought of a quilt telling a story, but I really like that concept! I have always thought about the story of the quilt itself….particularly when the quilt is a gift….how the pattern was chosen, what prompted using certain colors and fabrics, etc.
Your post has given me a whole new avenue to follow in the way I will make those decisions going forward!!
Chris Schwery says:
This is probably not the right place to get this info out but I need to have someone connect me to the right person.I have thru an estate sale come across some of Modas fabric that I understand is quite rare and I would like to know how to get the info out that I have the fabric.It is called Glamping Maryjane and I have two complete layer cakes and 8 2/3 yds of the signature fabric on the turquoise background and 2 1/3 of the pink dot that is a companion to it.Is there someone I could talk to about possibly selling it either to one person or possibly split it up.
claire quilty says:
You might try one of the local quilt shops. Possibly they could tell you what it is worth, refer you to one of their customers who will purchase it or refer you to the local quilt guild.
my story is that I'm dying to get that applique pattern: I love it!!! Great line, and I'm looking forward to being able to buy it!! Great job!! Hugs, H
francesnewcombe says:
Really Great writing Linzee, thank you so much
stephanie woodward says:
Those quilts are amazing, and the fabrics are beautiful. Thanks for bringing them to us.
JoAnne T. says:
Frances, I met you at the Sew N Sew in Glendora in March, you told me about Manderley. I kept the note about it next to my computer. The fabrics are gorgeous, I can't wait to find it, there are several designs I want to buy. Thank you for telling me about it.
daisyandjack says:
what a great article – thanks so much for the back story about Jane and Frances and their new fabric range – I LOVE Jane's Baltimore by the Sea and also her Lotus quilt – so awesome !

Stating in October, Google will officially release their highly anticipated HTTP update. For the past several years Google has launched several initiatives to increase the number of secured domains across the web. Through giving small boosts to SEO rankings and highlighting the threat of non-secured websites, Google has taken major steps to improving user security and overall search experience for users.
The HTTP update will affect both Google Chrome and Incognito browsers. After September, websites that are searched for using these browsers that do not have an SSL certificate will be clearly marked to warn users of the potential threat of loss of sensitive information. This will be highlighted in the URL and is intended to alert users of the potential security risk.
For those of you who aren't familiar with HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), it's simply a connection between a website visitor's browser and the actual website. For years, millions of websites across the internet have relied on the standard HTTP connection to transfer information with their users. The issue with a standard HTTP connection is that the information is not encrypted.
This allows sensitive information like credit card numbers, contact information, and other personal data to be easily intercepted by hackers, making users vulnerable without them even knowing.
HTTPS connections are designed to be a secured link between the user and a website. With an encrypted connection through an SSL certificate, users are able to share and transfer information without giving hackers the opportunity to intercept sensitive data.
Switching over to HTTPS has benefits outside of enhanced security for users. To start, websites that feature a secured HTTPS connection have been known to have a small increase in their organic SEO rankings. As far as we know, Google has not implemented a specific ranking penalty for non-HTTP sites, but some experts would agree that one may come in the future.
From a user-experience standpoint, knowing a website has a secured connection can help build trust and credibility among your clients. For example, if you have an ecommerce website that allows customers to purchase and shop for products, a secured connection will ensure them that their sensitive data is secure and will not be easily intercepted by hackers.
Enhanced peace of mind and an improved user experience is one of the main driving factors behind each one of Google's updates. For years cyber security and the presence of foreign and domestic threats has been the central focus of security analysts and search experts alike. To protect users and reduce the risk of threats, this update provides a simple solution to an evolving issue.

Evening with Scottish M.P. George Galloway – Jan. 12, 2011
Posted in 2011 | January 12th, 2011
On January 12th Awareness Film Night will present an hour with George Galloway. An outspoken, anti-elitist Scottish M.P. for 25 years, George Galloway is a galvanizing speaker who recently completed a cross Canada tour in which he spoke of many things, wars and (would be) kings and the state of the Canadian government and its new image around the world. Galloway joined the Labour Party in Scotland at the age of 13 and was a Labour M.P. until 2003 when he was suspended by the party for his frank opposition to the invasion of Iraq. Galloway's initial attempt at a speaking tour of Canada in the Spring of 2009 was aborted when he was deemed admissible to Canada on "security grounds", being called a "street corner Cromwell" by the communication director of Minister of Immigration Jason Kenney. The matter eventually went to Federal Court where a judge, in a 60-page ruling, slammed the Canadian government for wrongly banning Galloway for political reasons.
This a spellbinding film of George Galloway's sold-out, no words minced talk in Vancouver in November that naturally serves to uproot complacency and stir up the dreary month of January.
The film will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Edward Milne Community School theatre. Admission is by donation.

LDL or low-density lipoprotein is the unhealthy cholesterol everyone is trying to avoid. Cholesterol is necessary for optimal body functioning, but there needs to be a balance between healthy and unhealthy cholesterol. The good cholesterol HDL (high-density lipoprotein), helps keep LDL under control by pushing it or carrying it along to the cholesterol-processing center. There the cholesterol can be transformed into something the body can use for overall cell stability. Too much LDL can make it extremely difficult for HDL to keep LDL under control. High levels of LDL can be a sign of heart disease or increased risk of various cardiovascular events.
