...INCREASE BOOK ROYALTIES ALMOST OVERNIGHT!"
If you have published even one ebook (or plan to), then this will be one of the most profitable messages you ever read.
Two publishers now say there is a way to, literally, in one evening, increase your Amazon royalties up to 306.1% -- maybe less, maybe more.
By giving your readers a new option. All you do is turn your ebook into a physical book. In many cases, but not every case, you'll make more royalties AND keep the same profit margin (because it won't cost you any money out-of-pocket).
As an example, Jay Boyer has an ebook in the dog training niche. Do you know much about the dog training niche?
In fact, the same month he made $49.00 in royalties for the ebook, he made $101.00 in royalties from the physical book.
John S. Rhodes, a #1 best-selling author and publisher, said, "...several of my physical books have earned 2-to-3 times more royalties (every month) versus the ebook version."
Often, you get the same or even more royalties for a physical book. And think about it. There is a class of reader who finds it difficult to change from physical books to ebooks.
Physical books don't require software, batteries, an Internet connection, a computer, or any electronic device.
They can't be deleted, they don't break, they won't melt, a hot car interior won't hurt them, and, at-a-glance, no would-be thief thinks to steal them.
"But It's Hard to Make Paper Books!"
With this training program, you will get step-by-step video tutorials that show you everything you need to know to be able to publish your first print book by tomorrow.
First, you create a new account with CreateSpace.
Then, you set up the interior of your book. Do you want white pages? Or cream? And what size would you like it? You get free templates for every size, so setup's a breeze.

Q: Injective homomorphisms and subgroups I've just started self-learning group theory, and I came accros Cayley's theorem. Which made me wondering about the following question: Given two groups $G$ and $H$, and there exist an injective homomorphism $f: G \rightarrow H$, then $G$ is isomorphic to a  subgroup of $H$.
My attempt: Let $K$ be the range of the homomorphism. Then $f: G \rightarrow K$ is surjective, but it is also injective, so bijective. So $G$ and $K$ are isomorphic. But how do I know that $K$ is a subgroup? I think it is enough that since $K$ is isomorphic to a group $G$, $K$ must be a group, but why a subgroup of $H$. Sure, the set of $K$ is a subset of the set of $G$, but this not a proof. Can someone give the correct argument?

A: For the neutral element: $e_H = f(e_G) \in K$.
For the inverse: for $y \in K$, let $x \in G$ with $f(x) = y$. Then $y^{-1} = f(x)^{-1} = f(x^{-1}) \in K$.
For the product: let $y, y' \in K$. Let $x, x' \in G$ with $f(x) = y, \space f(x') = y'$. Then $y y' = f(x) f(x') = f(x x') \in K$.
These are the three properties that characterize a subgroup.

A: Let $H,K$ be groups. We call $K$ a subgroup of $H$ if it is a subset and if its group operation is the group operation of $H$ restricted to $K$.
You showed that $K$ is a group (isomorphic to $G$) , it is clearly a subset of $H$, and of course the group operation of $K$ is the restriction of that of $H$ (that is what "$f$ is a homomorphism" implies).
More generally, for any group homomorphism $f\colon G\to H$, we have that the image $K=f(G)$ is a subgroup. Instead of using the definition we use the well-known criterion: a subset $K$ of $H$ is a subgroup if it is not empty and $a,b\in K$ implies $ab^{-1}\in K$. Being the image of the nonempty set $G$, clearly $K$ is not empty. Given $a,b\in K$ we find $x,y\in G$ with $f(x)=a$, $f(y)=b$. Then $ab^{-1}=f(x)f(y)^{-1}=f(xy^{-1})\in K$.

Catherine Kullmann
I was born and brought up in Dublin and moved to Germany on my marriage in 1973. Before my marriage, I was an administrative officer at the Department of Finance in Dublin. I worked as attaché at the Irish Embassy in Bonn until my eldest son was born. Following a twelve-year stint as a full-time mother, I joined the New Zealand Embassy in Bonn, where I was administration officer. My husband and I returned to Ireland in 1999 and in 2009, following a year's treatment for breast cancer, I took early retirement from my position as Director of Administration and Human Resources at a large Dublin law firm.
I have always enjoyed writing, I love the fall of words, the shaping of an expressive phrase, the satisfaction when a sentence conveys my meaning exactly. I enjoy plotting and revel in the challenge of evoking a historic era for characters who behave authentically in their period while making their actions and decisions plausible and sympathetic to a modern reader. In addition, I am fanatical about language, especially using the right language as it would have been used during the period about which I am writing. But rewarding as all this craft is, there is nothing to match the moment when a book takes flight, when your characters suddenly determine the route of their journey.
The first quarter of the nineteenth century was one of the most significant periods of European and American history, a period whose events still resonate two hundred years later The Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland of 1800, the Anglo-American war of 1812 and the final defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 all still shape our modern world. The aristocracy-led society that drove these events was already under attack from those who saw the need for social and political reform, while the industrial revolution saw the beginning of the transfer of wealth and ultimately power to those who knew how to exploit the new technologies.
I write historical fiction set against this background of off-stage wars, of women frequently left to fend for themselves in a patriarchal world where they have few or no rights but must make the best lives they can for themselves and their families. While real people sometimes have walk-on parts, the protagonists and their stories are pure fiction. As well as meeting their personal challenges, they must also cope with external events and the constraints imposed by society. The main story arc is romantic. I am particularly interested in what happens after the first happy end—how life goes on around the protagonists and sometimes catches up with them.

1897 Hanford Station
By Challenger Tom February 28, 2018
Yesterday I visited the 1897 Hanford Station along the BNSF Rails on 7th Street in downtown Hanford.
Hanford Station is one of the three remaining stations built by San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad. Hanford Station was constructed a year prior to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad opening between Fresno and Bakersfield. Unlike Conejo and the other rail sidings I've mentioned in previous blogs Hanford was already an established town by the time the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad tracks were built. Hanford had already been present since 1877 when it was founded as a rail siding town of the Southern Pacific Railroad which still bisects downtown between 7th and 6th streets today. Hanford Station would switch hands to the ATSF which later would become the BNSF as it is known today. Hanford Station underwent restoration in 1991 and apparently had an open waiting room prior to the remodel. Hanford Station currently has Amtrak passenger service an…
Route 66 Wednesdays; Valentine and how many Truxtons?
Continuing eastward from Hackberry last week on the Arizona State Route 66 portion of US 66 the road goes through the communities of Valentine and Truxton.
Valentine much like Hackberry was a rail siding of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Interestingly Valentine appears to have the name of Truxton originally before switching to Valentine some time around 1910. Valentine can be seen on this 1882 map of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad under it's original name of Truxton.
1882 A&P Operating Map
The switch from Truxton to Valentine is cited on theroute-66.com.
theroute-66.com on Valentine
The community of Valentine was centered around the Truxton Canyon Training School which was constructed from 1898 to 1903. The purpose of the Truxton Canyon Training School was forcibly assimilate children from the Hualapai Tribe from the nearby tribal lands northeast in Peach Springs. Apparently the Truxton Canyon Training School was in operation until 1937 and is now owned by the Huala…
Ghost Town Tuesday; Ghost Towns of the Kennedy Space Center
Back in 1962 the construction of the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island of Brevard County, Florida required annexation of former public lands to complete the facility. This led to several town sites on Merritt Islands and areas surrounding the Kennedy Space Station being razed. Back in 2014 I took a day trip to the area to what I could find of the towns of; Wilson, Allenhurst, and Shiloh.
On the 1956 State Highway of Florida shows a substantial difference in the area surrounding the Kennedy Space Center.
1956 Florida State Highway Map
- Florida State Road 3 is shown leaving US 1 from Oak Hill and traversing south through Shiloh, and Allenhurst before meeting FL 402 in Wilson. FL 3 continues south through Orsino to FL 520.
- A proposed extension of FL A1A is shown south of New Smyrna Beach to FL 402 at Playlinda Beach. As I mentioned last week when I discussed Canaveral National Seashore this part of the coast is completely undeveloped.

Rexleigh Covered Bridge
By Doug February 26, 2018
Located just outside of picturesque Salem, New York, the Rexleigh Covered Bridge is one of four covered bridges that are still standing in Washington County, and one of thee covered bridges that cross the Batten Kill while in New York. There are more covered bridges that cross the Batten Kill in neighboring Vermont. The Rexleigh Covered Bridge is also the location for a popular swimming hole. The 107 foot long bridge was originally built by Reuben Comins and George Wadsworth in 1874 and is one of only three Howe truss bridges remaining in New York State. The bridge was supposedly prefabricated in Troy, New York and transported by rail to Rexleigh where it was reassembled in place. One unique feature of the Rexleigh Covered Bridge are the cast iron shoes, which were used to fit the bridge timbers into joints with iron rods. This feature has been incorporated into no other known covered bridge in the United States of America.
The Rexleigh Covered Bridge has had its share o…
Deweys Bridge
There are a number of bridges that cross the Champlain Canal in Washington County, New York, along with some bridges that are gone, but not forgotten. One of the bridges that fits into the gone, but not forgotten category was the Deweys Bridge, which crossed the canal about halfway between the historic villages of Fort Ann and Whitehall. Constructed in 1911 by the American Bridge Company of New York, this steel thru truss bridge was a conduit between US 4, NY 22 and the country roads that make up this area of New York State. Unfortunately, the bridge was demolished in 2013 and not replaced since there were other bridges nearby that perform a similar capacity. I took photos during a visit to the area in September 2005.

Florida Friday; The Great 2012 Florida Trip Part 7 (The Overseas Highway)
The final part of the 2012 was the Overseas Highway segment of US 1.
The endpoint of the 2012 Florida Trip was my drive on US 1 on the Overseas Highway. Less than a year later I would find myself ironically being offered work in the Lower Florida Keys. To that end I was looking greatly forward to driving the Overseas Highway but didn't know anything approaching what I do now about it's back story. For an infinitely more complete version of US 1 on the Overseas Highway and the precursor Florida State 4a I would suggest reading my recent blog on those topics from 2017:
2017 Southeast Road Trip Part 13; US 1 the Overseas Highway and the Legacy of Florida State Road 4a
I started the morning out somewhat early to make it down from downtown Miami to the 18 Mile Stretch of the Overseas Highway. Relatively quickly I found myself crossing Jewfish Creek onto Key Largo.
At the time I wasn't exactly familiar with US 1 on the Overseas Highway so I tried to capture all the placards d…

Netflix's Grace & Frankie Season 5 Review
(img source: Netflix)
Disclaimer : this is a subjective review. Also, spoiler alert.
Last season, Grace and Frankie was put in a retirement community and they hated it, attempted to break away from it and move back to their beach house. Can they do it?
Honestly, this season is a little frustrating to me. The thing that gets to me is that their personality becoming a problem (again). We know Grace and Frankie have contrasting personality, we've been through that rigorously in early seasons. And now it's coming (again) after 5 seasons? We've seen during the earlier 4 seasons that Frankie's careless and under-prepared personality would cause them end up in a mess. But in this season, every careless steps that Frankie made seems to work in the end, which is confusing. And I'm #teamGrace through and through (it's quite a nice coincidence that we share the same name). I would also be very, very mad if my business partner carelessly make a promise of free products to over fifty thousand people.
I think the short number of episodes format that's what I usually like from Netflix-produced TV series is a bad thing for this sitcom. This season of Grace & Frankie spends 2 episodes to handle previous season's problems, and 4 episodes to build momentum for the season finale. That left us with just 7 episodes in the middle. These episodes in the middle are actually fun and easy to watch, and that's what I wanted from this show. Fun and easy to watch. But to me, 7 episodes of fun is not enough to hold down the more serious 2 + 4 episodes to make this series refreshing to watch.
If there's a next season, I would really love to have more of the fun and easy episodes, and more stories about the supporting characters. I know, I know that the title is Grace & Frankie. But I think developing the other character stories can also help us feels refreshed about the story as a whole. And also, I'd actually expect more harmony from Robert and Sol's relationship. From what we know, they've been together for a long time, considering their affair started when they were married to Frankie and Grace. And they've spent so much time together as well.
What I Like The Most
Brianna, her character is always so fresh. A spin-off for Brianna sounds like a lot of fun.
What I Dislike The Most
The personality clash between Grace and Frankie is dragged on for way too long now.

Q: how to develop tvOS app using nativescript I'm trying to build a tvOS and roku app with nativescript.
I was about to start working on the tvOS app after I read this article https://www.nativescript.org/blog/running-the-nativescript-runtime-for-ios-on-apple-tv but I'm not sure where the nativescript ios runtime or the metadata generator are in my project. Also, would this mean that my provisioning file and certificates should be for an appletv app instead of ios?

A: The iOS runtime is generally downloaded from NPM for your project. But it includes support for only iOS. For tvOS, you will have to checkout the open source iOS runtime project from Github and update the config scripts as described in the blog post,
set(CMAKE_XCODE_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORMS "-iphoneos;-iphonesimulator;-appletvos;-appletvsimulator")
set(CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS "iphoneos iphonesimulator appletvos appletvsimulator")

and build your custom version of iOS runtime with CMake.

Accsys > Changes to Employment Tax Incentive
Changes to Employment Tax Incentive
Friday, October 14, 2016 1:31 PM
Newsflash courtesy of SAPA
Towards the end of September, National Treasury published a second batch of draft amendments to the Taxation Laws Amendment Bill (TLAB) for public comment. Included in the proposed changes are extensions to the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) and the Learnership Tax Incentive, which are due to expire on the 31st December and 30th September 2016 respectively.
The proposal includes extending ETI for another 2 years, up to the end of February 2019. The amendment also proposes a cap of R20 million per employer per year in ETI claims, to "more effectively target the incentive towards those employers that are creating new jobs".
Learnership Tax Incentive
The same draft amendments to TLAB propose extending the incentive from 1st October 2016 to 31st March 2022 (i.e. five years), and that the value of the incentive be increased to R40 000 per learner per annum for qualifications up to NQF level 6, and that the value for NQF level 7 or higher be reduced to R20 000.
At the moment, particularly in Gauteng, it feels as if everyone is protesting about something. Global Business Solutions had the following view on the Cosatu strikes which were held on 7th October:
"We have further investigated the issue of the COSATU stay away planned for 7 October 2016.
It would seem that a section 77 application had been made, but was based on public transport only. They revised the public transport application made last year and are basing the legitimacy of this stay away on that.
If one looks at their notice, public transport is not mentioned on their notice and therefore it would make this stay away technically unprotected. We highlight "technically unprotected" because to take decisive action on a technical mistake has never been viewed favourably by adjudication processes.
The bottom line is that the stay away will at the moment and on the basis of their notice, be unprotected and the principle of no-work-no-pay and progressive discipline may apply."

Garnishee Orders: A 7-point Practical Guide to New Rules for Lenders, Debtors and Employers
"… The law regulating the granting of emoluments attachment orders was misapplied and abused by the credit providers. This caused enormous hardship to individuals against whom those orders were issued" (extract from judgement below)
How does the Constitutional Court's new ruling on garnishee orders (more properly referred to as EAOs or Emoluments Attachment Orders) affect you? Here is a practical summary of what the changes to the law mean to lenders, debtors and employers; at least until proposed new legislation (reportedly soon to be tabled in parliament) replaces them –
1. Who can issue EAOs? EAOs are court orders obliging a debtor's employer to deduct amounts from his/her earnings and pay them over to the creditor. In the past, clerks of the court were able to issue them - a process which led to allegations of rubber-stamping in some local courts.
2. Judicial oversight: Now, a magistrate must decide whether or not to grant an EAO after considering two factors –
a. Is it "just and equitable" for an EAO to be granted?
b. Is the amount "appropriate?" The court will have to decide here what the debtor can afford to pay.
Note that existing requirements including a 10 day registered-post warning to pay the debt, and proof that the debtor consented in writing to the issue of an order, remain in place.
3. Which court? Where the NCA (National Credit Act) applies - which it will in most such cases - creditors can no longer choose courts far away from debtors. Only a court where the debtor lives or works will have jurisdiction, making it much easier for him/her to be heard in court.
4. Existing orders: The changes are not retrospective and apply only from 13 September 2016, the date of the judgment. Therefore existing EAOs are valid, and payments already made to creditors under them are not affected.
5. Lenders: Be even more careful than before when lending money to make sure that your debtors can pay you back. Incautious lenders will find that even loans not falling foul of the NCA's reckless lending provisions will now be more difficult to recover.
6. Debtors: If you have an existing EAO against your salary or wages, you can still challenge it in court on an individual basis.
7. Employers: As said above, existing orders are still valid and must be complied with unless individually set aside – take advice in any doubt

Browns audible, practice Sunday after confirming false positive COVID-19 test results
Nate Ulrich
nulrich@thebeaconjournal.com
A buzzword for the Browns amid the COVID-19 pandemic has been "fluid," and that was never more evident than Sunday.
After the Browns announced Sunday morning they had canceled their 2:25 p.m. training camp practice because of a slew of positive results from Saturday's COVID-19 testing, the organization confirmed those results were false positives and decided to practice after all.
The Browns, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings are among the NFL teams serviced by a laboratory in New Jersey that found a spike in positive results from Saturday's tests. Bills General Manager Brandon Beane told reporters 10 or 11 teams were affected.
The Browns conducted drive-through testing Sunday morning in an effort to determine whether the results were false positives.
"We've concluded our re-testing of each initial presumptive positive result from yesterday among players, coaches and staff. All have come back as negative, which is consistent with the irregularities across the league from multiple teams," a Browns spokesman said in a prepared statement released Sunday afternoon. "As a result, we are reopening our building and will resume football activities this afternoon. As per protocol, the individuals with test results in question may not re-enter the building until they receive another negative test result tomorrow."
The eighth full-squad practice of camp began at 3 p.m. Sunday and was closed to media. It had originally been scheduled to be open to reporters.
Another change in plans resulted in the Browns practicing in helmets but without pads. First-year head coach Kevin Stefanski had planned to run live tackling drills before the organization had to audible.
A Browns spokesman said practice lasted only 50 minutes. It amounted to a light "jog through," and included individual drills and a seven-on-seven period. The team had virtual meetings Sunday evening and will return to its training complex Monday, when practice is scheduled to begin at 2:25 p.m.
A Browns spokesman said Sunday morning in a prepared statement the team's results from Saturday yielded "multiple individual presumptive positive cases that include players, coaches and support staff." All of those who tested positive are asymptomatic, according to the statement.
The league, whose teams undergo daily testing, announced it is investigating Saturday's results in question.
"Saturday's daily COVID testing returned several positives tests from each of the clubs serviced by the same laboratory in New Jersey," the NFL's prepared statement read. "We are working with our testing partner, BioReference, to investigate these results, while the clubs work to confirm or rule out the positive tests.
"Clubs are taking immediate precautionary measures as outlined in the NFL-NFLPA's health and safety protocols to include contact tracing, isolation of individuals and temporarily adjusting the schedule, where appropriate. The other laboratories used for NFL testing have not had similar results."
The Browns haven't had a player on the reserve/COVID-19 list since Aug. 7, when they activated wide receiver Ja'Marcus Bradley from it. Punter Jamie Gillan, quarterback Garrett Gilbert, running back Dontrell Hilliard and safety Jovante Moffatt are the other Browns players who have spent time on the list since the franchise began testing on July 24, when their first wave of players reported to camp.
As of Sunday morning, only four players in the entire league were on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The prepared statement released Sunday morning and attributed to a Browns spokesman is as follows:
"After consistently receiving encouraging results from daily testing since returning to the facility in July, the Cleveland Browns' COVID-19 testing process conducted yesterday initially indicates multiple individual presumptive positive cases that include players, coaches and support staff.
"Although, we have received indication from the NFL that they are investigating irregularities in lab results that have also impacted other clubs, out of an abundance of caution, we will immediately follow our comprehensive Infectious Disease Emergency Response plan and pause any activity in our building today and conduct meetings virtually.
"As per plan procedure, the team is also diligently reviewing proximity data for contact tracing and instructed self-isolation for those who tested positive and others as appropriate even though they all remain asymptomatic. Our facility is currently undergoing a thorough deep-cleaning and disinfecting process and is closed to all personnel for the day. We will provide updates as testing results are confirmed and more information is available."
The Bears announced Saturday's testing "identified nine players/staff as positive," but the team confirmed all nine results as false positives. The Bears pushed their Sunday morning practice to the afternoon.
The Bills chose to practice Sunday but held a few players out because of test results, Beane said.
The Jets canceled their walk-through practice Saturday night after they produced 10 positive test results, coach Adam Gase told reporters. Those results were negative in subsequent testing, Gase said, so the Jets decided to practice Sunday.
Steelers GM Kevin Colbert said in a prepared statement six of the team's players were absent from Saturday's practice due to COVID-19 protocol, but "none of those players were required to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list" and would be permitted to return to meetings Sunday and practice Monday.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer told reporters the team had eight players, one coach and three staffers test positive, but the organization opted to practice Sunday afternoon.

Q: Read in file with Inconsistent record separators/rows I'm reading a text file of product catalogue line by line to input the (split) rows into my database.  Issue is:  the product_description column has line breaks within it, which means when the file is read in line by line, the description breaks onto multiple lines making the process difficult.
In Excel, (spreadsheet), the description shows on one line, as if without line breaks.
In Open Office Calc, (spreadsheet) the description breaks onto several lines; a number of lines which is inconsistent across all records.
I can identify each start line because each record starts with a UPC/SKU of less than 12 chars.
I'm seeking guidance as to the better way to do this....
If reading line by line, should I split each line into an array so that if the $array[0] less than 12 chars, we know it is the beginning of a new record. If it is not, then we can push that array value onto $array[9] of the preceding line, which is the product_description string.
Here's the code so far. It creates the hash correctly but, I wonder, if there's a simpler way to get rid of unnecessary line breaks within a spreadsheet column. (Apart from them not being put in in the first instance. lol).
my $csv_file ='/home/domain/public_html/csv-files-for-read-in/filename.csv';

open my $data, '<', $csv_file
or die("<$csv_file> could not be opened for reading <$!>");

my $record_id;
my %description_hash;

while ( my $line = <$data> )
{
$line =~ s/""//g;

  # ignore empty lines
  if ( $line !~ /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ )
  {
  next;
  }

my @lines = split( ',' , $line);
my $length = length($lines[0]);

  if ( $length < 12 )
  {
  # we are starting a new record
  $record_id = $lines[0];
  my $desc = $lines[18];
  $description_hash{$record_id} = $desc;
  }
  else
  {
  #we are adding on to the description
  my $description_addition = $lines[0];
  my $desc = $description_hash{$record_id};
  my $new_desc = (join( ' ', ( $desc, $description_addition ) ) );
  $description_hash{$record_id}=$new_desc;
  }

}

Bladder augmentation surgery increases bladder size. It can be done laparoscopically.
Bladder augmentation surgery makes the bladder large enough to collect urine. When the bladder is too small, it can cause urine to leak out of the body (incontinence) or back up into the kidneys (reflux). This can cause a kidney infection and damage the kidneys. This procedure is used to treat serious cases of incontinence after other treatments have failed.
Birth defects and other conditions, like chronic obstructive bladder damage, can cause the bladder to be too small.
Order tests, such as blood and urine tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, and bladder pressure studies.
Talk to you about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the surgery.
Cleanse your bowel—You will drink a special liquid that causes loose stool. The liquid may be given through a tube placed in the nose down to the stomach.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block pain and keep you asleep.
The doctor will make several small, keyhole incisions in the abdomen. A laparoscope will be inserted. This gives the doctor a clear view of the inside of the abdomen.
An incision will be made on the top part of the bladder. The doctor will use tools, like clips and staplers, to remove a piece of the intestine or stomach. After this piece is cut out, a suturing device will be used to close the incision. Next, the doctor will attach the piece of the intestine or stomach to the bladder.
In some cases, the doctor will also create a stoma. This is a small opening through the abdominal wall to an opening that is made at the top of the bladder. These openings will make it easier for you to insert the catheter into the bladder.
Depending on the method your doctor uses, a combination of open and laparoscopic procedures may be done. If you do need open surgery, you will have a larger incision and a longer recovery time.
You may be given fluids, pain medications, and antibiotics through an IV. A tube will be placed through your nose to your stomach. This tube will keep your stomach drained of any contents. This will stay in place until your stomach and intestines begin working normally again.
Give you fluids and nutrients through an IV—You will not be able to eat until your intestines are working normally. This may take several days. When you are ready, the tube in your nose will be removed. You will begin to take fluids by mouth. You will slowly progress to soft foods.
Teach you how to insert the catheter through the urethra or through the stoma—Depending on your recovery, the catheter that was placed during surgery may be removed before you go home. If so, you will be taught how to catheterize yourself at home using a tube.
Clean the incision areas with warm water and gentle soap. Monitor the area for signs of infection.
If you have a catheter, follow the instructions for taking care of it. You may see bloody urine for a few weeks.
If you are catheterizing yourself, carefully follow the guidelines for emptying your bladder.
Irrigate the bladder as directed. This is especially important if you have a piece of the intestine attached to your bladder. The intestine patch will continue to make mucus. This can clog the catheter tube.

Sometimes a family or child may feel they have nowhere to turn when faced with a serious issue. The American Society for the Positive Care of Children is doing their best to solve this problem with an enthusiastic campaign to raise awareness of the vast number of free resources available.
Carlsbad, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/08/2018 -- The American Society for the Positive Care of Children (ASPCC) is a non-profit organization working to prevent child abuse through positive parenting advocacy and education. To this end, they have created a simple, smart resource to help children and families know where to find help when they need it.
The ASPCC's This Little Card (TLC) Saves Lives campaign provides printed pocket resource cards that include top national hotlines for a variety of needs. These life-saving cards are distributed to law enforcement professionals, counselors, teachers, social workers, and nurses to share with families or children in need.
"We feel it is important to provide a printed card because those who need it most may not have reliable online access during a time of crisis," says Tina McMechen, Acting Executive Director of the ASPCC, who recently delivered TLC cards to staff at Jonesboro Public Schools in Jonesboro, AR. Lindi Wade, Behavior Health Specialist for the District, says she believes the cards are a necessary and valuable intervention, "The information shared on this card allows individuals to have agency resources immediately available. This will be a benefit to the comprehensive care of all of the children we serve."
The ASPCC is encouraging Americans to "Spread some TLC" and help them to reach their goal of circulating 1,000,000 cards in 2019. The cards will be sent at no cost to all organizations committed to distributing them to children and families in need. The TLC cards can also provide a low-cost, high-impact advertising opportunity for potential corporate or organizational sponsors. The American SPCC is currently involved in a pilot program with 15 organizations from across the country to help make data-driven decisions regarding future card design.
"These little pocket cards have the potential to make a tremendous positive impact," says McMechen, "We want them to be a physical reminder that people don't have to live alone on an island of suffering. We want to encourage people to find the strength to leverage the resources that are freely available." For more information about the nonprofit or to make a donation to support the printing and distribution of the cards, visit http://www.americanspcc.org.
The American Society for the Positive Care of Children is a non-profit organization that works to improve the lives of children today, tomorrow, and in the future. Child safety, health, and welfare are the cornerstones of the organization that's devoted to preventing abuse in all forms though positive parenting advocacy and education initiatives. American SPCC gives a voice to the 'voiceless' – the abused, neglected, bullied, and marginalized children of America. People can connect with the organization on Facebook, Twitter,YouTube, and Instagram.

Apple also reveal a new iPad Pro line-up, which now features a new screen size if 10.5 in addition to the larger 12.9-inch already offered by the company.
WWDC 2017: Featuring next-generation Intel Xeon processors up to 18 cores, iMac Pro is created to handle demanding pro workflows.
The 21.5-inch model can be configured up to 32GB of RAM, while the 27-inch can get up to 64 GB of RAM.
Apple has upgraded most of its Mac computers, including a powerful new offering for professional users, showing renewed commitment to a product line that critics say it neglected amid lacklustre growth. The 21.5-inch model delivers up to three times faster performance and the 27-inch model is up to 50% faster.
The Cupertino-based giant announced that the new iMac will sport the "best Mac display ever" which is 43 percent brighter at 500 nits and with support for one billion colours. Apple has announced that the new iMac will be available to order starting Monday via apple.com, and will be available to buy in Apple Stores starting on Wednesday.
Apple upgraded all the MacBook Pros it had introduced in 2016, and the 2017 versions come with Intel's 7th generation Kaby Lake processors.
A prototype Apple iMac Pro is seen during the annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Jose, California.
Apple has taken its iMac and given it a shot the arm, with boosted processing and graphics power to create a workstation-level all-in-one machine.
Up to 18-core Xeon processor.
iMac Pro also supports up to 4TB of SSD and up to 128GB of ECC memory. The new iPad Pro is larger with a 10.5-inch display - an upgrade of almost an inch.
Finally, Apple will be releasing new space gray wireless accessories - Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 - to go with the space gray design of the iMac Pro. Apple said the system is designed for "advanced graphics editing, virtual reality content creation and real-time 3D rendering". Yes, the new iMac Pro is a computer that costs as much as a decent used auto, but all for good reason.
Keep in mind that with the exception of the MacBook Air, all of the new Macs are powered by Intel's most powerful new processors.
Speaking of which, the iMac Pro is just 8 inches thin when you consider the stand, and it weighs only 21.5 lbs.
De plus, cette revalorisation est considérée comme un dû pour les dentistes, car leurs prix n'ont pas augmenté depuis trente ans. Selon les dentistes, cette augmentation ne suffira pas à couvrir les frais qu'ils doivent investir en matériel.

Dardano () è un personaggio della mitologia greca ed è presente nella mitologia etrusca ed in quella romana.

Originario dell'Arcadia navigò verso la Samotracia, per poi giungere nella terra allora chiamata Teucria ed a cui diede il suo nome (Dardania) e che in seguito, dopo il regno di suo nipote Troo, prese il nome di Troade, il luogo dove sorse la città di Troia.

Tra i suoi discendenti c'è Enea, l'eroe virgiliano che, fuggito dopo la caduta di Troia s'insediò nel Lazio dando origine al popolo dei Romani.

Genealogia

Figlio di Zeus e della pleiade Elettra, sposò (in Arcadia) Crise da cui ebbe i figli Ideo e Deimas ed in seguito (in Dardania e dopo la morte di Crise ), sposò Batea che gli diede i figli Ilo, Erittonio e Zacinto (Ζάκυνθος).
Secondo Ditti Cretese, Erittonio sarebbe invece figlio di un'altra sua sposa di nome Olizone (figlia di Fineo).

Secondo la tradizione virgiliana era figlio del re etrusco Corito (a sua volta figlio di Zeus e della pleiade Elettra).

Mitologia

Le versioni greche

Dopo aver regnato per un breve periodo in Arcadia ed a causa del grande diluvio che impoverì le terre, lui ed il fratello Iasione furono costretti a cercare una nuova patria portando con sé una parte del loro popolo cosicché, dopo aver lasciato al figlio Deimas il suo primo regno, sbarcò su un'isola a cui diede il nome di Samotracia.
Dopo la morte del fratello ripartì dalla Samotracia e si fermò sulle coste dell'Ellesponto presso lo stretto che oggi porta il suo nome (i Dardanelli) per insediarsi nelle terre della Frigia e giunto nella terra allora denominata Teucria fu accolto dal re locale Teucro che, non avendo eredi maschi, gli diede in sposa la figlia Batea permettendogli così di ereditare il regno dopo la sua morte.

Dardano fu il progenitore della casa reale di Troia, quella da cui Priamo derivò la sua famiglia.

Altre tradizioni

Omero dice che Dardano fondò la città di Dardania e che negli anni successivi i suoi discendenti fondarono Troia e, secondo la versione etrusca narrata da Virgilio, era giunto in Samotracia proveniente dalla etrusca città di Corito (oggi Cortona).

Dopo la caduta di Troia e su imposizione degli dèi Penati, il suo discendente Enea ricondusse in Esperia (l'Italia) i superstiti Troiani e così, sbarcando alla foce del Tevere etrusco (come Virgilio chiama più volte il fiume) posta sul confine fra l'Etruria ed il Lazio (vetus), con il suo popolo si recò a Corito (l'antica madre di Dardano e della stirpe troiana) dove, dopo aver incontrato Tarconte (il fondatore di Tarquinia) ottenne l'affido del comando della federazione etrusca.

Dopo la sua morte, Enea (disceso vivo nell'Ade), vide l'anima di Dardano nei Campi Elisi.

PORT MORESBY – The Philippines is ready to build schools and deploy teachers to Papua New Guinea in a bid to enhance the development of its neighbor.
On the first day of his visit here, President Duterte has announced the government's education aid to Papua New Guinea in appreciation to its generosity and kindness to Filipino workers.
The Philippine leader intends to relay the offer when he meets with Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill during the regional summit this weekend. Duterte is in Ports Moresby for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit but will cut short his three-day trip by a day to return home Sunday morning.
"We need to develop and develop well Papua New Guinea. We are willing to help establish schools. We will send vocational skills training, TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority), " Duterte said during the meeting with the Filipino community Friday night.
"I heard that most of our countrymen are treated well and respect. In return, I'll see him (O'Neill) tomorrow (Saturday) but we are ready to build schools, ask teachers to come here and help in the education of your people," he added.
Duterte said the government was also prepared to help Papua New Guinea with its livelihood projects to improve the welfare of its people.
He took pride that the Filipino workers are "industrious" and "bright," adding that Papua New Guinea could take advantage of their expertise.
"We can come here, we can establish schools, if you want universities and we are good at that. We will try to help you," he said.
Duterte said he was grateful to Papua New Guinea for its fair treatment of Filipinos. "Papua New Guinea has been very kind to us," he added.
He reminded Filipino workers to "love" Papua New Guinea and be grateful for its kindness.
The President, meantime, cautioned Papua New Guinea against allowing multinational companies from "encroaching" its farmlands.
He said they should guard against such activity, citing that the Philippines no longer have farmlands for food crops.
"It's overtaken by multinationals. Be careful about that. You may but do not allow encroachment of multinationals because at the end of the day what you would get is the salary of the people but the bulk of the money goes to the company," he said.
"Do not allow big money to enter. You take time to develop," he added.


And her new little sister.
I have been busy recovering from a summer full of pictures, traveling and reunions. And by busy, I mean I took four days and did absolutely NOTHING other than make sure the offspring were fed and dressed and wiped down the counter a few times (oh and I unpacked from the most recent reunion). The only other thing I did was read. And read and read and read. I read four books. It was bliss. I plopped myself on the couch with a fan pointed directly in my face each afternoon and read the hours away. The kids did some chores and then played or indulged in tv/video games for a bit which doesn't happen. I thought we all could use some quiet and low-key days until school and schedules begin again. I don't like schedules really. I am a spontaneous, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of gal. I like a little structure, but I'd rather go where the wind takes me...so school schedules give me the chills. Sigh. Here's to after-school activities, homework, chores before school, and fitting it all in. Wish me luck...I need to go see if we are ready with enough socks, shoes, lunchboxes, backpacks, crayons, snacks and clothes. Actually I still need quite a few of those items.
Leave it to you to make us look awesome! You have performed another photographic miracle.
um- it's nicole using Quinn's log in. Thank you so much again!!!
I need to know what you read...I'm out of book ideas.


The Delhi high court is scheduled on Friday to pronounce verdict on pleas of CBI special director Rakesh Asthana and others seeking quashing of FIR against them on bribery allegations.
Justice Najmi Waziri had reserved the judgement on December 20, 2018 on various petitions after hearing submissions of the counsel for CBI, the Centre, Asthana, deputy superintendent Devender Kumar, CBI director Alok Kumar Verma and Joint Director A K Sharma.
The court would pronounce its verdict on the petitions of Asthana, Kumar and alleged middleman Manoj Prasad seeking quashing of the FIR.
Additional Superintendent of Police S S Gurm has also filed a plea in the court to be impleaded as a party. Hyderabad-based businessman Sathish Babu Sana, on whose complaint the FIR was lodged and who had alleged to have paid bribe to get relief in a case, had also filed a similar plea seeking to be heard in the case.
However, he did not press for his plea and had said that he would cooperate with the CBI whenever called for the investigation.
Kumar Thursday moved the high court seeking direction to the probe agency not to allow Verma and other re-transferred officers to deal with the bribery FIR lodged against him. The application, filed in the main petition, is likely to be heard on Friday.
Asthana and Kumar's counsel had argued that the FIR was antedated and it reached the magistrate 52 hours after registration, whereas, as per law it should be placed before the magistrate within 24 hours.
They had contended that there was no allegation of demand and acceptance of illegal gratification against Asthana and he cannot be made an accused for the alleged offence under the PC Act.
CBI had said there was no merit in the petitions of the two officers and the agency was bound to probe the matter thoroughly.
Verma, who was made a respondent in the petitions, had earlier maintained that all mandatory procedures of law were followed while registering an FIR against Asthana on bribery allegations.
Sharma, who was one of the respondents, had argued that the FIR was not lodged exclusively under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the provisions of IPC, including, forgery, extortion and criminal conspiracy, which means sanction to prosecute the government official was not of much importance.
The Centre's counsel had said that ordinarily it is required to take prior sanction to prosecute a public servant but as this matter was not referred or brought before the government, she cannot say anything.
The court had earlier, in an interim order, directed the CBI to maintain status quo regarding proceedings against Asthana.
Kumar, who was arrested on October 22, was granted bail on October 31.
Prasad was arrested on October 17, 2018 and he was granted bail on December 18 as the CBI could not file the chargesheet against in the case in the stipulated time of 60 days.
Verma had said in the affidavit there was sufficient incriminating documents and evidence against all accused — Asthana, Kumar and middleman Manoj Prasad — with the CBI and the FIR was lodged after the PE disclosed cognisable offences.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday had reinstated Verma but directed him not to take any major policy decision till the high-powered committee give its findings. Verma had challenged before the apex court the Centre's decision to divest him of all powers and sending him on leave.
Kumar, earlier the investigating officer in a case involving meat exporter Moin Qureshi, was arrested on the allegations of forgery in recording the statement of Sana who had alleged to have paid bribe to get relief in the case.
Sana, on whose complaint the FIR was lodged, had also made allegations of corruption, extortion, high-handedness and serious malpractices against Asthana.

Once the membrane is removed, put the dry rub all over the ribs (both sides) and rub it in. The meat will take on some of the colors in the dry rub and look a little reddish.
Wrap the ribs in some heavy duty tin foil and place in the in the fridge for at least one hour or up to overnight. Cook the securely foil wrapped ribs on a cookie sheet in a pre-heated 250 degree oven for two hours.
After 2 hours, pull them out of the oven and open the tin foil and add a little apple juice. Re-wrap them, and put them back in for another 1/2 hour.
At this point you can either open up the foil and turn the oven up to 350 and cook for another ½ hour, or you can put the ribs directly on a medium hot grill and finish cooking. Be sure and watch as the brown sugar burns easily.

Mustang Hobo at The Loft, Galway, 14 December 2017.
Madness comes in many forms: violence, corruption, politics. But on this wintry night on the westernmost tip of Europe, it came in the form, of a Christmas miracle.
For only one band would survive.
As if their necks were on the guillotine, Cúla Búla played a set of their trademark trad-punk-metal tunes that warmed the blood like an open fire. A master of audience manipulation, Bisckits Musicman – AKA Jeremy Jenkinson – led the crowd by the nose to the oasis. A pied tin whistle-ist taking his followers to the promised land.
Neil "Jesus" Farrell of Mustang Hobo stole the spotlight to lead the crowd's swearing of the solemn oath "not to be remotely cuntish." A pact that usually remains unspoken: to chase your own thrills but not to interfere with anyone else's quest for the craic. And a Cúla Búla show is all about losing oneself in the vibe of the night. Surrendering yourself to the sheer fun of it all to a soundtrack of epics like the band's magnum opus Cans At Dawn and their traditional Irish-style, classic heavy metal medley.
Cúla Búla's music has all the magical atmosphere of trad and all the relevancy of newer genres. The half-moshing-half-dancing crowd were thrashing proof of that. Fun is the word to describe Cúla Búla. Trends and genres will come and go. But fun is immortal. And Cúla Búla are purveyors of 100%, grade-A fun.
Mustang Hobo were a many-limbed cryptid making many-limbed music. Alas, they were not destined to survive beyond this, their farewell gig. The last time Mustang Hobo would be seen in the wild was before a shamefully small but transcendently enthusiastic crowd of the faithful. A triumphant send-off to a creatively triumphant career.
Clad in a skintight black latex dress, the aforementioned Jesus slapped and battered and punished his five-string bass into submission, a complying instrument to Mustang Hobo's musical ambitions. Guitarist Tuan coaxed and wrenched sounds from his Cort guitar ranging from demented funk to psychedelic howls. And Emmett kept their Zappa-esque explorations rooted and tied together with virtuoso drumming.
Mr. Finnegan, So You Think I'm Crazy, Fury Of The Lord, all deserve to be hailed as classics. And when delivered with such showmanship as was onstage in The Loft that night, they are given an extra fourth dimension. All slightly different from their studio-recorded alter egos: wilder, louder, rawer. The material Mustang Hobo produced over the course of their seven-year career could easily soundtrack a film version of Ulysses or Finnegan's Wake. It may have been a bittersweet evening, but like any good wake, it was a joyous, celebratory send-off.
Bands like Cúla Búla and Mustang Hobo prove that Dublin does not have the monopoly on fantastic independent artists. Lying beneath the surface of the Emerald Isle's farthest corners are secret troves of musical treasures waiting to be uncovered.
Unfortunately, very few appear to be willing to make the effort to dig them up and put them on their deserved pedestals. No matter how much noise these artists make, it is hard to be heard over the roar of The Capital. But that Thursday night at Shkyup! Entertainment's party made a valiant effort. A true, mad, Christmas miracle.


There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a new mattress. Below are the main considerations, along with some advice on making that all important decision.
Click the links below to expand the information.
Spend as much as you can afford, rather than thinking of it as a cost you should consider it an investment. You spend longer in bed (approximately 8 hours or a third of your life) much more than in any other one place. There are so many health benefits from achieving a good nights sleep that spending a little extra on the all important mattress, will prove to be money well spent.
The correct support is essential, it reduces pressure on your spine, joints and especially your lower back. No longer does the medical profession believe that a firm bed is best. They now say, 'correct support is best', which means your heavier or pronounced body parts are absorbed by the mattress, and your spine and lower back is supported in the correct position. Good quality foam and memory foam mattresses can offer the correct support.
This is down to personal choice, however, with the advancement in foam and memory foam mattresses you no longer need to have a firm mattress to get the correct support. High quality foam and memory foam mattresses allow you to choose a medium firmness mattress and still enjoy excellent support.
Buy the biggest bed you have space for, especially if you share the bed with a partner, as it is proven that both sleepers achieve a better nights sleep in a larger bed. But do not choose size over quality. Choose the best bed for support and comfort first, and then buy the biggest you can afford in that style.
Foam or Memory foam is best, due to the combination of support and comfort. Modern foam polymers have taken over from springs as the No 1 product for high quality mattresses. Although sprung beds are still widely available, speak to anyone who now sleeps on a foam or memory foam mattress, and they will confirm what a difference it has made.
Washable covers are a convenient option, but the fact they can be removed for cleaning does not make any difference to the quality of your sleep. Many can be machine washed, but larger covers may still need taking to a launderette as they are too bulky.
A flat bed base is essential, to ensure your mattress can support you correctly. Bed bases tend to outlast the mattress, so you do not always need to replace both. An impressive or expensive bed base or surround will look good, but do not skimp on the quality of the mattress, or you will end up with a nice looking but uncomfortable bed. A solid or wooden slatted base is ideal; if your base is sprung, check is does not have any dips in it, as this will effect the support your mattress offers.


Favorite Quote: Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
What I like about BSU: As a student, I appreciated that campus felt like home. My two favorite places were the dance/group fitness studio in the Gillett Wellness Center, and the desks with the lake view on the 4th floor of the library. These days I'm proud to say that I'm back on campus, working in the Admissions Office. Now my favorite spots are Diamond Point Park, and the lounge near Eco Grounds Coffee!

Plant Ideas
Modern Platycodon Grandiflorus Plant
platycodon grandiflorus plant - In this post, we'll go over the fundamentals of designing a beautiful and relaxing garden. We'll also discuss some of the things to keep in mind when you start planting, including ideas on which kind of plants to grow, as well as what plants are best suited to each other.
A plant's ability to adapt to the environment is dependent on a number of variables, including the relativeimportance of water, light, air, nutrients, as well as the temperature of the surrounding. The capacity of a species of plant to expand across an area is contingent on its ability to adjust to the abiotic and biotic elements of the area.

The ability of a plant to adapt to its surroundings is dependent on a myriad of factors, including the relativeimportance of light, water oxygen, nutrients, and temperature in that environment. The capacity of a plant species to expand across an area is contingent on its ability to adapt to the biotic and abiotic components of the area.
There are a lot of factors that influence plant competition which include climate, soil conditions, and the availability for other natural resources. Competition is the primary interaction between plants. The plant species that has the best chance of success in a particular region is the one which uses that area's resources most effectively.
Light reaching the surface of plants will either be captured, reflect or transmitted. Energy, in the form of sunlight can be one of the major driving forces that drive the chemical reaction known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food, most notably sugar, from carbondioxide and water, in the presence of chlorophyll, utilizing light energy and releasing oxygen and water.
The most crucial necessity for the life of plants. It's among the primary necessities for the growth of plants. It keeps the plant healthy It is also used for photosynthesis and transfers nutrients throughout the plant. It also lowers leaf temperature, increases mineral absorption, and pulls water from the roots to the top of the plants through the process of transpiration.
Wind is the movement of air, which is usually beneficial for plants. It helps transfer heat away from leaf surfaces, increases circulation in areas susceptible to fungal growth, and is often essential to transport airborne seeds. Wind can be harmful to plants, drying out leaves, scattering seeds of weeds, and occasionally killing plants.
The temperature of the air varies according to altitude, latitude and topography. Climate and temperature affect the kinds of plants that will develop. The capacity of plants to tolerate low temperatures and grow in cooler areas is called cold hardiness. Plants that can't tolerate cool conditions are known as soft.
Soils are made up from a combination of organic matter, minerals water, air, and minerals in different proportions. The small particles of minerals are formed from rocks which have been broken down over long durations of time due to the effects of weathering. Organic matter consists from living creatures, waste substances, and decay products.
It refers the dimension of the particles that dominate. The texture of soils will determine the amount of air, water and nutrients contained in the soil. In general, the entry of air, water, and roots is more easily through soils in which bigger particles are dominant.

We at Zinda Law Group PLLC are personal injury lawyers who understand both sides of these complex cases.

NGC 5614 est une galaxie spirale située dans la constellation du Bouvier à environ  d'années-lumière de la Voie lactée. NGC 5614 a été découverte par l'astronome germano-britannique William Herschel en 1785.

La classe de luminosité de NGC 5614 est I-II et elle présente une large raie HI.

En compagnie de NGC 5613 et de NGC 5615, NGC 5614 figure dans l'atlas des galaxies particulières de Halton Arp sous la cote Arp 178. Ces trois galaxies sont à des distances différentes et ne constituent pas un groupe de galaxies. Cependant les galaxies NGC 5614 et NGC 5615 forment un couple de galaxies en interaction gravitationnelle et elles font partie du groupe de NGC 5614. On remarque d'ailleurs une queue de marée au nord de NGC 5615.

À ce jour, quatre mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est définitivement à l'extérieur des distances calculées en employant la valeur du décalage.

Groupe de NGC 5614
NGC 5614 est la principale galaxie d'un groupe qui porte son nom. Le groupe de NGC 5614 compte au moins quatre membres. Les trois autres galaxies du groupe sont NGC 5533, NGC 5579 et NGC 5615.

À ces quatre galaxies, il faut ajouter PGC 214249, car cette galaxie est en interaction avec NGC 5579.

A Senate Journal, 1943-1945
One of the best books ever written about the Senate took the form of a diary. Published in 1963, its title is A Senate Journal, 1943-1945. Here is what its author, United Press correspondent Allen Drury, had to say about a May 28, 1945, session in which the Senate rejected, for its own members, a politically explosive $2,500 congressional expense allowance. "The Senate decided today that Representatives are worth $2,500 more than Senators. It was an unhesitating decision, endorsed by an overwhelming vote. It . . . left the House out on a limb. Each house got something. The Senate got the glory and the House got the cash. It was quite a lively afternoon."
Assigned to cover the Senate in December 1943, Drury immediately began to keep a diary. He hoped its eventual publication would enlighten Americans about the Senate. "There is," he concluded, "a vast area of casual ignorance concerning this lively and appealing body." Drury later used his diary notes to compose his 1959 Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel Advise and Consent.
As a journalist, Drury had the good fortune to arrive in the Senate at a time of obvious and dramatic change—from the crisis of World War II to the challenges of the postwar era. He met and observed a handful of the old-time senators, "delightful characters, one or two of them still in tail-coats and possessed of flowing hair, all filled with a lively awareness of their own egos, all imbued with a massive sense of the dignity and power of being a Senator of the United States." As he later wrote to the Senate Historical Office, "I've always regretted I abandoned 'Senate Journal' after a year. I could have gone on cannibalizing myself for years to come, had I but had the foresight."
A Senate Journal is packed with brilliant character sketches. Here is Drury's April 1944 evaluation of Vice President Henry Wallace. "Wallace is a man foredoomed by fate. No matter what he does, it is always going to seem faintly ridiculous, and no matter how he acts, it is always going to seem faintly pathetic. He looks like a hayseed, talks like a prophet."

Ann Arbor Municipal Center
Modern Era Preservation
The multi-phase development of Ann Arbor's dynamic municipal center has transformed the city's aging downtown complex with a new justice building, a revitalized city hall, and public gardens and plazas.
The 186,000-square-foot complex consolidated city administration, the police department, and the 15th District Court and created an accessible, pedestrian-friendly civic center at a substantial savings over an all-new municipal complex.
Created a pedestrian-friendly, urban civic center
Consolidated justice and police operations for improved efficiency
Renovated existing city hall
Designed in association with Cannon Design
76,000 sf renovation and 110,000 sf addition
LEED®-Gold rating
Built originally in 1963 by architect Alden B. Dow
Build Michigan Award
A COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
A multi-phase schedule and a thoughtful approach to the site design reflect the city's commitment to the community. The city hall remained open and operational throughout design and construction. The site, located just a few blocks from the University of Michigan, has been redesigned as a welcoming, pedestrian-friendly public venue, with gardens, plazas, picnic tables, public art, and a green roof promenade. A large glass atrium opens the new justice center along one corner, while a landscaped plaza provides a connection to city hall. Several sustainable measures optimize the site's ecological performance, with the water and vegetation systems designed to help protect the nearby Huron River.
ADDRESSING MULTIPLE MUNICIPAL NEEDS
The City of Ann Arbor faced several challenges prior to the development of its new municipal center, including outdated, inadequate space for its police department and administrative staff and the need for new space to house the 15th District Court. The decision to renovate the existing city hall and add an adjacent five-story justice center, rather than create an all-new multipurpose facility, saved the city money and created an opportunity to enliven the central downtown block as a vibrant urban center.
