LORD GEORGE G. BYRON - COLLECTION WITH CO-SIGNERS - HFSID 354518
LORD BYRON His handwritten quotation from an epic Celtic poem by Ossian and his signature. Autograph quotation unsigned: "Motto to Neustein, Adieu. Why dost thou build the hall, Son of the winged days? Thou lookest from thy towers today; yet a few years, and the blast of the Desert comes, it howls in thy empty Court. - Ossian". 6¾ x3½ page. Accompanied byhis signature: "Byron", on a 2x1 slip of paper affixed to a 4½x2¾ card. GEORGE GORDON BYRON (1788-1824), the sixth Baron Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron was among the foremost English poets of the Romantic movement. Among his best-known works are the poems "She Walks in Beauty" (1814) and "So, We'll Go No More a Roving" (published 1830). Even more renowned are his narrative poems, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1818) and Don Juan, his 17-canto masterpiece (1819-1824). Byron was a political and social reformer, a defender even of the Luddites, but was also noted for his aristocratic excesses, which included huge debts, many love affairs and self-imposed exile from Britain (1816 to his death).
EMPEROR AND EMPRESS HIROHITO SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHS - HFSID 350392 - HFSID 350392
EMPEROR AND EMPRESS HIROHITO Spectacular pair of rare, signed photographs in original Imperial frames. These signed photographs measure 5¾ x 8½ inches and are housed in their original blue leather Imperial frames. Both feature formal, full-length images, individually signed in bold Japanese calligraphy with black sumi ink by Hirohito and Empress Kojun. Signed royal portraits presented in matching pairs are very scares as they were given only to guests of the emperor. Fine condition. Overall frames measure 8 x 10¾. Light surface scratches present on the frames. Easel damaged on the back of Emperor Hirohito's frame. Otherwise, fine condition. HIROHITO (1901-1989), born Michinomiya Hirohito, Japanese emperor during World War II, was originally designated as "Showa" or "Enlightened Peace". He became emperor in 1926 following the death of his father Taisho. Despite having supreme authority in Japan, he did little more than to ratify the policies of his ministers. Historians debate Hirohito's role in Japan's expansionist policies, which began in 1931 and one of the major causes of World War II.

Their tumultuous relationship was much scrutinized in the media, and Diana experienced an astoundingly high celebrity status: eventually the Prince and Princess of Wales separated in 1992, and they were officially divorced in 1996.

Herning [] ist eine Stadt im mittleren Jütland, Dänemark. Sie ist Verwaltungssitz der Kommune Herning in der Region Midtjylland und ein Messezentrum mit landesweiter Bedeutung.

Geschichte
Der erste dokumentierte Ortsname Hørningh leitet sich von hørn (vorspringender Hügel) ab. Das Suffix -ing deutet auf die Eisenzeit (500 v. bis 850 n. Chr.).

Der Gutshof Herningsholm entsteht 1579 am Ochsenweg zwischen Jelling und Holstebro. Um 1840 zählt Herning nur rund 200 Einwohner, entwickelte sich jedoch zu einem Handelszentrum für das Umland, als dessen ausgedehnte Heideflächen im 19. Jahrhundert urbar gemacht wurden. Ausgangspunkt für die Bebauung waren untypischerweise das Gericht und eine Apotheke. Die Heide bot die Grundlage für Schafhaltung, woraus sich eine Wollproduktion entwickelte. Aus Heimarbeit entwickelte sich ein ganzer Industriezweig mit Schwerpunkten in Herning, Ikast und Brande. 1876 eröffnete eine dampfbetriebene Wollspinnerei, die 1896 zu einer Kleiderfabrik erweitert wurde. 1877 erhielt Herning einen Anschluss an das Eisenbahnnetz. 1901 war die Einwohnerzahl auf 3.700 gestiegen. In dieser Gründerzeit entstand 1872 auch die Hede- og Diskontobank, deren Bankhaus 1912 am Marktplatz gebaut wurde und heute zu den schönsten Gebäuden der Stadt zählt.

1913 erhielt Herning das Stadtrecht. Im 20. Jahrhundert entwickelten sich zusätzlich Metall- und Möbelindustrie. Herning erhielt ein Gymnasium, ein Zentralkrankenhaus, ein Lehrerseminar und ein Theater. Von 1961 bis 2007 existierte die Herning Højskole, deren markantes 16-Etagen-Hochhaus, entworfen von den Architekten Møller-Jensen und Arnfred, im Osten der Stadt zu sehen ist.

1995 wurde eine Handels- und Ingenieurhochschule gegründet, die heute als Institut for Forretningsudvikling og Teknologi der Universität Aarhus angeschlossen ist.

Von 1970 bis 2006 gehörte Herning zur kleineren Herning Kommune (1970–2006) mit 541,6 km². Mit der Kommunalgebietsreform zum 1. Januar 2007 wuchs das Gemeindegebiet, zu dem die Stadt gehört, auf 1321,1 km².

Kunst

1976 gründete die Stadt das Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum, um die umfangreiche Schenkung des Künstlerpaares Else Alfelt und Carl-Henning Pedersen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. In Sonderausstellungen werden vorzugsweise Bilder der CoBrA-Gruppe gezeigt, zu der das Ehepaar gehörte.

Direkt benachbart residiert das Herning Museum of Contemporary Art – HEART. Das grandiose Ausstellungsgebäude, an die Form ausgebreiteter Hemdsärmel angelehnt, wurde zwischen 2005 und 2009 nach Entwürfen des US-amerikanischen Architekten Steven Holl errichtet. Denn seine Anfänge hatte das Museum 1977 in der Angligaard-Hemdenfabrik des Unternehmers und Kunstmäzens Aage Damgaard (1917–1991) genommen.

Neben dem Kunstmuseum erhebt sich Ingvar Cronhammars Skulptur "Elia" (2001), eine 11 m hohe Stahlkuppel, deren Kleinkreis 60 m im Durchmesser beträgt. Ein Gasbrenner flammt in unregelmäßigen Abständen für 25 Sekunden eine 1 m breite Feuersäule über 8 m in den Himmel; der Entladungszeitpunkt wird von einem Computer zufällig bestimmt.

Das Dänische Fotomuseum zeigt die technische und künstlerische Entwicklung der Fotografie seit 1839.

Verkehr
Herning besitzt einen Bahnhof an der Bahnstrecke Vejle–Holstebro.

Sport

Vereine
 Herning Blue Fox – 1947 gegründeter Eishockeyclub, der aktuell dänischer Rekordmeister ist. Heimstadion ist die KVIK Hockey Arena.
 FC Midtjylland – Fußballclub, spielt in der Superliga. Heimstadion ist die MCH-Arena.

Sportveranstaltungen
1987 wurde die Gymnaestrada in Herning ausgetragen. Vom 6. bis zum 12. Juli 1997 wurden in Herning die XI. Internationalen Feuerwehrwettkämpfe des CTIF (Feuerwehrolympiade) durchgeführt. Im Programm waren Traditionelle Internationale Feuerwehrwettbewerbe, Internationale Feuerwehrsportwettkämpfe und Internationale Jugendfeuerwehrwettbewerbe.

Nach 1996 fand auch 2008 die Badminton-Europameisterschaft hier statt. Vom 21. bis zum 27. September 2009 wurden im Messecenter die Ringer-Weltmeisterschaften ausgetragen. Bei der Handball-Europameisterschaft der Frauen 2010 war die größte dänische Hallenarena Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning Spielort der ersten Hauptrundengruppe sowie aller Finalspiele. Der Giro d'Italia 2012 startete am 5. Mai mit einem Einzelzeitfahren in Herning, am darauffolgenden Tag fand eine Flachetappe mit Start- und Zielpunkt in Herning statt. 2013 wurden in Herning außerdem die Europameisterschaften im Dressur- und Springreiten austragen. 2003 und 2015 war der Ort Austragungsort der Islandpferde Weltmeisterschaft.

Am letzten Wochenende im Juli findet in Herning jährlich ein Euro-Cup Lauf im Tractor Pulling statt. Zudem wurde in den Jahren 1993, 2000 und 2007 in Herning die Europameisterschaft im Tractor Pulling ausgerichtet.

Im Januar 2014 war die Jyske Bank Boxen einer von vier Austragungsorten der Handball-Europameisterschaft 2014 der Männer. Dort fanden unter anderem die Vorrundenspiele der dänischen Mannschaft sowie die Halbfinals und die Finalspiele statt. Im Januar 2019 ist die Halle Spielort der Handball-Weltmeisterschaft der Männer. Neben den Vorrundenspielen der Gruppe C und denen der Hauptgruppe II, jeweils mit der dänischen Mannschaft, wurde in der Jyske Bank Boxen auch das Spiel um Platz Drei sowie das Finale ausgetragen.

Bei der Eishockey-Weltmeisterschaft der Herren 2018 war Herning neben Kopenhagen einer der beiden Austragungsorte.

Klima
Trotz der Lage Jütlands zwischen zwei Meeren, Nord- und Ostsee, ist die jährliche Niederschlagsmenge mit 700 bis 800 mm im Westen moderat. Auch die Temperaturen sind ausgeglichen. Im Winter macht sich der mildernde Einfluss des Golfstroms bzw. seines Ablegers, des Nordatlantikstroms, bemerkbar.

You may see this term or possibly factory part, OEM replacement part, and OEM quality replacement part. A manufacturer often uses 3rd party companies to make parts for them. I will use a battery for this example; let's say GM contracts out the use of AC Delco batteries in the new cars. This is a company you can go to the auto parts store and buy a battery from. It would be considered a genuine oem part in GM's eyes but the same battery can be bought for a much better price elsewhere. It still meets the qualifications of an OEM part but is not manufactured by GM.
On the other side of the coin is what we call aftermarket parts, which is any other part made by an outside or third party company not associated with the manufacture. They will not have the exact same fit and/or function as an OEM part. Now to what degree is another story. The trade off here is cost. They can be substantially cheaper in some cases but generally a good enough savings to warrant the purchase. We need to break this down to two categories, mechanical and body.
When we talk about mechanical aftermarket parts there is a much more diverse set of quality guidelines to think about. You walk into the auto parts store looking for a set of brake pads for example. Many times you probably have at least 3 choices: good, better, and best. None of which are OEM but the quality of them can be worse than OEM about the same and then even better. There are always companies who have improved upon the manufactures parts and made them better, even cheaper too. So generally there is no need to buy the dealer part. But if you are concerned with any warranty issues with your car then you would need to check with the dealer if you can put those parts on or not.
Performance parts are definitely an upgrade from a factory part. This will void any warranty you have but the parts are usually far superior to factory parts. Most car enthusiasts don't really care about the warranty anyway so have at it. The aftermarket parts industry is huge on this end of the spectrum.
When it comes to body parts, I am referring to the sheet metal replacement panels for the factory OEM parts. If you were to mention using these parts to an auto body technician most of the responses would not be good. Most of the time these parts just don't make the cut. Years ago they were just terrible fitting, bolt holes would not line up, lines were not even, the metal had ripples in them , etc. You would spend more time adjusting them than anything else. Fortunately, they have come a long way due to the bad press they got and loss of business. Some insurance companies have been sued over the use of these after market parts and do not use them today. However, some do and you will see a standard of quality that is fairly good in modern day. One standard is through an association called CAPA. It stands for Certified Aftermarket Parts Association. We'll go more into that in another article.
In the same category is where you will find headlights, plastic bumpers, grilles, other lights, radiators, condensers, glass, etc. Here you will find the same holds true of the quality of the parts. Better but still not up to OEM standard in my opinion. Being in the business for years you learn what is acceptable and which parts just don't work for a replacement part, again we'll discuss this further in another article.


Waffle House is headquartered in Georgia and has more than 2,000 establishments, mostly in the South. In fact, the Waffle House is so hard to close down that FEMA uses a scale based on Waffle House closures to tell just how bad a hurricane and its aftermath actually are. Warner said the index was created in 2004, and because people rely on the Waffle House throughout the year, they expect it to be opened after a storm. They also tweeted a cheeky message to the storm itself: "Kiss my grits!" If a hurricane hits and a Waffle House stays open, it can feed first responders and provide meals to people who have lost power. However, The Post would like you to know that waiting to leave until Waffle House closes is not the recommended practice for storm planning. He told National Public Radio in 2016: "They are open most of the time". If a Waffle House is closed resulting from there is a catastrophe, or no longer it is deplorable.
Waffle House said on Twitter that its "Storm Center" was monitoring Hurricane Florence, which is expected to hit the coast between North Carolina and SC late Thursday or early Friday and could impact 230 of its restaurants. If the index is green, the Waffle House is open and serving from its full menu, whether customers want the pecan waffle or the fiesta omelet. If the restaurant has a limited menu, often meaning the freezer is out, it's labeled yellow. At the front of the room, three screens showed storm maps and news coverage of Category 4 hurricane's path. We name it red. "You haven't found the bad stuff yet", Fugate said on NPR. We have 250 restaurants, and we are monitoring resources so they can roll in right after the storm.
Waffle House spokesman Pat Warner said it's flattering that the company has such a high profile in the eyes of FEMA.
And already, one South Carolina Waffle House has turned red on the current Waffle House Index.
"The Waffle House test just doesn't tell us how quickly a business might rebound - it also tells how the larger community is faring", FEMA said in a 2011 blog post. The sooner restaurants, grocery stores, and banks re-open - the sooner the local economy and recovery restart.

Bran Castle, situated on the podium of the most beautiful castles in Europe
The Spanish publication El Pais has ranked Bran Castle on the third place in the top 20 most beautiful castles in Europe. The castle, known mostly by the Bram Stoker novel, Count Dracula, is visited annually by many foreign tourists, especially due to its history and appearance.
The article is titled "The most beautiful castles in Europe: from the fantasies of King Nebun, in Neuschwanstein, the Loire Valley and the forests of Transylvania, to 20 fairy castles" and briefly summarizes the history of each of the chosen ones. The castle in Romania ranks third, after the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, and not least the famous Chenonceau on the Loire Valley.
"Bran Castle is a medieval fortress near Brasov, on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia in Romania, which owes its reputation and the huge tourist attraction to Count Dracula, the character of Bram Stoker's novel. It is more than certain that the real historical figure of Vlad III Dracula has ever stepped into this castle, whose present structure was built by King Ludovic I of Hungary in 1377. Vlad Ţepeş lived in the castle of Poenari, in the center-south area of the country, a castle whose ruins can also be visited, "says the article in El Pais.
The National Institute of Statistics showed that between January 1 and November 31, 2016 Romania was visited by about 2.4 million foreign tourists. The figure represents an 8% increase over the similar period of 2015, the majority (around 76%) coming from Europe.
Of these, 10,000 tourists come from the Iberian Peninsula. According to Mediafax, Spain is ranked nine in the top European countries that visited us in 2016.
The leading places are occupied by Germany, with 270,000 tourists, Israel, with 232,000 tourists and Italy, with 218,000 tourists.

There was a time when a number of media types thought that hyperlocal journalism--think neighborhood-levels news--would save the fourth estate.
Not anymore. Patch, AOL's big gamble to bring hyperlocal journalism to the masses, has been the victim of numerous reports claiming its efforts haven't paid off, in page views or in revenue. Several weeks ago, Jim Romenesko reported that Patch planned to "to cut staff and freelance budgets and start producing 'easy, quick-hitting, cookie-cutter copy.'" On a more hyperlocal-local scale, a Chicago Reader piece by Michael Miner from two years ago wondered if Patch was "an evil slave empire or a boon to hungry journalists?"
The heat is particularly strong from those inside the media. Bob Garfield, host of the public radio show On the Media, recently declared that the hyperlocal news is not a workable model in a fragmented media environment.
The debate made us curious about who actually frequents sites like the Roscoe View Journal ("Your definitive guide to Chicago's Rosecoe Village and West Lakeview"), to name a Chicago example. Do you find these sites useful, or do you find news about potholes and parking boring? We open the phones at 9 am, so if you can sneak away from your cubicle, call us at 312.923.9239.
Bob Garfield will come on to make his case. And hyperlocal publisher Mike Fourcher will explain why the critics are wrong. Finally, Rich Gordon from Northwestern University shares what he's learned from years of experimentation in the classroom.


What does your smartphone know about you?
Technology is part of our society, we can`t live without it. Technology has allowed us to live our lives as they are now. It has changed every part of our society, from healthcare to entertainment and science. Technology has changed business sphere like nothing has to change it ever before. It has changed how the businesses are arranged, how much of possible customers you can reach. It has also changed the way that product are made. From the industrial revolution to the digital age, technology has formed a business in the way that nothing else was able to do. Now comes the question, which are biggest technologies that has changed the business forever, and which ones have to change it the most. In this article, we will talk about top 5 technologies that have changed business forever. So let`s start.
This was the time of major technological improvements. The speed and the quality of products had to get a major boost. While, in the past, for one finished product it used to take a long time until you would get a finished product. But with the industrial revolution, that time has become much, much shorter. Some jobs that were done only by workers, now were done by steam machines which were much faster, more efficient and didn`t need to get paid for the work that they have done. This time was definitely bad for a common worker, but it was very beneficial for the future development of technology which improved the way that businesses are led.
This is also one of the most important technological inventions that changed the way that businesses are led. By introducing conveyor belt, the time to finish the product had rapidly reduced. The reason is because before conveyor belt every worker used to do the product from the start to the finish. But with a conveyor belt, every worker would do a specific task on the product. They would put only one part in the product on the conveyor belt, while the parts would be put by other workers. This had improved the quality of products and the speed in which products were done. The first use of conveyor belt was done by Henry Ford in his car factory. This invention is even still relevant to this day.
While robotics could cause a serious problem for many people who have jobs in the factories, there is no need to denying that automatic working robots are much more effective that human workers, even considering the time spend working, quality of work and they don`t need to receive salary. The real benefits of having the robots as the working force are that they can work 24/7 without the need for rest, the quality of work would not suffer at all. They can work as long as you need them. And the only thing that you need to run them is a computer program and electricity. Many companies are deciding to use automated robots as their working force. This could become a real problem for our society considering that millions and millions of people would lose their jobs. There is yet another possible problem. If the automated robots replace most of the workers in the world, that means that most of the people won`t have any kind of income. On the long run, that means that no one would be able to buy the products that are made by automated robots. The whole economic system would crash. And this is something that could happen in the near future. That is why we need to find a solution to this possibly devastating problem for our society.
With the introduction of the internet, the whole new world has opened for the business companies. The internet is the platform on which you can reach the highest number of potential customers. It is most unique, most private, and most selective way to run your business. The only thing that you need to have is your own website, social media website, and if you want, you can pay advertisements on the sites of your choosing. And you would need to spend the least amount of money on advertising your company, but still, you would have the biggest chance to reach as many potential customers as possible. You could use it to only do business inside your area, or you could do it the scale of your country. Maybe on the scale of the whole continent or on a scale of the whole world. It would all depend on nature of your job and what you offer. Also, great thing is that you would be able to receive the feedback which can help develop your business even more, especially of the received feedback is positive. The Internet is definitely the best and cheapest way to improve your business. And the part of the technology that has changed the way that we run businesses in a major way.
VPNs have changed the way in which businesses are run in a major way. The reason is because VPN protect you from any potential breaches in your computer systems and it does not allow other unwanted parties to get an access to servers or computers inside your company. VPN can even mask your real IP address which in the end protect you from potential government intrusion or from other competitor companies. VPN are the future of internet security and anonymity. Without it, many businesses would get hacked, would get their important data stolen and released to the public. But VPN protects you from all of those possible dangers. If you have a serious company, then you need to have and internet connection or internal servers inside your company which will allow you to share data with your employees or with your potential customers. And that is why you really need to protect yourself. So one hacker would not be able to destroy your whole business. So be smart and Install VPN service.

SNAP TO IT
Snapchat is getting into search
Reuters/Mike Segar
Putting the pieces together.
Technology editor
Published August 15, 2016 This article is more than 2 years old.
Among the biggest complaints levied against Snapchat are that the social network is difficult to use and it's hard to find new things to watch. Snapchat has been working on the former and a new acquisition might help solve the latter.
Snapchat is acquiring Vurb, a mobile search and recommendation app, for about $110 million, according to The Information (paywall). According to the report, the majority of the deal will be in stock, with Vurb's founder, Bobby Lo, receiving $75 million to stick around Snapchat over the next few years.
The Vurb deal comes a few months after Snapchat acquired Bitstrips, the company behind the popular sticker app Bitmoji, which it also paid about $100 million for. While it's not entirely clear what Snapchat will do with Vurb, it does seem to suggest that the company is trying to figure out ways to improve the user experience, and keep people engaged with the app for longer. Earlier this year, it overhauled the app's messaging function, and added more signposting for its confusing user interface.
With Vurb, or at least the talents behind the app, Snapchat could be looking to make it easier to find new users to follow, or content from brands and media outlets. Currently, unless you know someone's username (or have a picture of their Snapchat-branded QR code), it's near impossible to find them on the app. Similarly for brands, unless they're in the "Discover" section of the app, they have to rely on informing people of their snaps through another medium. A Vurb-powered recommendation engine could help address this problem.
Snapchat declined to comment on the acquisition. After turning down a reported $3 billion acquisition bid from Facebook in 2013, Snapchat has been on a tear: It now has over 150 million daily users—millions more than Twitter—and is valued at over $20 billion. But the company is still working on building up an advertising structure to match its impressive user growth. Being able to find more stories to watch, more friends to share snaps with—and therefore more places to insert ads—could well be what Snapchat's users, and advertisers, will want to see.


The main entrance of the building faces the campus' central square, the WU Stage. The cantilevered roof extending towards the square makes the entrance instantly recognizable. The building's massive exterior is furrowed with narrow, canyon-like divisions and made up of two sections. Once inside, the Forum and the entry area are made to feel like extensions of the square outside. The generously proportioned atrium also serves as WU's main reception area. Wide, spiral ramps and stairways lead from the entry area up through the OMV Central Library, which extends funnel-like through 6 stories of the building. The top two floors are dedicated entirely to the library, where the wide, glass-fronted student work area offers a breathtaking view of Prater Park. The building's interior consists of a mix of self-study zones and student service units on the lower floors, combined with library space and spectacular views of the campus on the upper stories. The overall impression is of one generous open space extended over several levels.
In addition to the library and the student service units, the LC also houses the WU shop, as well as both Ceremonial Halls, a club lounge, the International Office and the WU ZBP Career Center. WU students now have access to all academic services in one location: from admissions, enrollment, and IT services, all the way to graduation ceremonies and career support services.

Nicole Sirois and Mark McCuddy have headed up a group of volunteers from the Oregon Corinthian Sailing Association and CYC Portland to bring a one-day Safety at Sea seminar to Portland. Bob Schoonmaker of Seattle will be hosting the event on March 14, 2015 at Portland Yacht Club, and Bruce Brown from US Sailing will moderate. We're told he puts on fantastic seminars!
This class will comply with the 2015 requirement for the Oregon Offshore International Yacht Race. Please note that if you are seeking certification for Pacific Cup, Vic-Maui or other international races, a two-day seminar will likely be required, and this class would not meet that requirement.
We will keep you informed of further updates and sign-up information. Feel free to pass this information on; everyone is welcome, and this will be a very valuable educational experience not only for offshore racers, but also for cruisers and people still anticipating their first time sailing in the ocean.
It's Official! 2015 dates have been set!
CYC Portland has finally finalized the dates for the 2015 Oregon Offshore! The race will start on Thursday, May 7, 2014, with the start time TBD as usual (based on tides and the safest available Columbia Bar crossing). The finish deadline will be 1000 hours on Sunday, May 10.
The mandatory skippers meeting will take place on May 6 in Astoria, OR, exact location TBD. Stay tuned for more information! We will try to have the race packet, including notice of race and safety equipment requirements, available around the first of the year.

Tylertown; Detroit Lakes first settlement
By Mattie Hjelseth on Oct 5, 2016 at 8:48 a.m.
Tylertown, - that's what the town of Detroit Lakes was called before it became known as Detroit, and this was because of the railroad.
In 1870, a Boston native named Melvin M. Tyler came here with his family, and because he was so impressed with the beauty of the town, he decided to build a 12 by 14 foot log cabin near Pelican River, which was north of the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks.
Since the tracks went past Tyler's cabin, it became known as Tyler's Hotel, which later became "the center of all activity", according to an article at the Becker County Museum.
This is because railroad men and travelers had nowhere else to stay and used his house as a hotel, which caused Tyler to build an addition to his cabin.
Tyler's Hotel also "served as the first post office in the area and was an important meeting place", the article states.
"Railroad men dumped the bags of mail on one of the beds and people came in, sorted through the mail, and picked up letters that were addressed to them", it said.
Other buildings and settlers soon started building near Tyler's Hotel, and the community became known as Tylertown.
The North Pacific Railroad built a crude shack to house the telegraph set, and it became the first depot in the area.
According to information from the Becker County Historical Society, the railroad crew spent a little over a year to build the the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks across the Becker County area, which stretched out over 25 miles in 1870.
The hardest work along the railroad was at a cut between Detroit Lakes and Audubon, where work was the heaviest on that division of the line. A settlement that became known as Oak Lake Cut was the outcome of the hard work and the exhausted rail crew.
By December of 1871, the trains were making regular runs to Oak Lake Cut, and by December 30 of 1871, the track was completed all the way to Moorhead, according to the article.
Now, the Industrial Park in Detroit Lakes sits where Tyler's log cabin once was, and the Oak Lake site is no longer known or here.
Driving west of Detroit Lakes on Highway 10, you can pass directly over the site of Oak Lake, which was "the most active and flourishing village in Becker County."

Mayans MC are roaring their way on to FX this Fall.
Son of Anarchy may have ended but the story continues. Mayans MC continues the story but takes it in an entirely new direction. Mayans MC deals with the Reaper biker gang's one-time rival turned allies. The series was created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James who are also set to executive produce alongside Norberto Barba.
Mayans MC takes place two-and-a-half years after the events of Sons of Anarchy. The series will focus on the struggles of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes. EZ is the gifted son of a proud Latino family, whose American dream was snuffed out by cartel violence. Now, his need for vengeance drives him toward a life he never intended and can never hope to escape.
The series stars JD Pardo as EZ; Edward James Olmos as Felipe Reyes; Clayton Cardenas as Angel Reyes; Sarah Bolger as Emily; Antonio Jaramillo as Michael Ariza; Emilio Rivera as Marcus Alvarez; and Richard Cabral as Johnny 'Coco' Cruz.
As the motorcycle club goes zooming buy the rose wilt away. The camera pans out to reveal the Mayans motorcycle club vests being worn by the bikers. As the group rides off into the horizon the once bright red rose fields wilt away to a deathly black color. The title card for Mayans MC is shown as the screen fades to black.

1 Fedora Sugar Session
1.3 General Point
Fedora Sugar Session
Sebastian Dziallas is the founder of Fedora's Education SIG and was part of a team working on OLPC's operating system for the G1G1 program in December 2008. He currently coordinates logistics and support for local deployments with OLPC machines and is the engineering manager for Sugar on a Stick, ultimately accountable to the Sugar Labs Board for all technical work on the project, including the recruitment and training of developers and testers. He is graduating from high school in Germany in June 2010.
How much time, effort and resources does it take to go from prototype to production in your current IT paradigm? Would you like to reduce that time while cutting costs via The Open Source Way? This session will use Sugar, the highly acclaimed learning platform as seen on the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) laptops, as a case study; in just one year, Sugar went from radically innovative code prototype to something in classroom production use, reliably deployable on RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), and sustainable by the part-time, after-school efforts of a single high school student. The secret is leveraging open source communities, and Sugar Labs' Sebastian Dziallas will show you how.
We will cover the various tools (all open source) and processes used to build a thriving community around Sugar, and give recipes for both the technical and social deployment of these practices on your own projects. No specific technical skills beyond basic familiarity with Linux are required; the use of specific software tools such as git and bodhi will be discussed from a process/practice perspective, and self-teaching resources for those wishing to learn the specifics of deployment and usage will be provided at the end. Attendees with a system administration background or prior experience developing code within open source communities will find knowledge of IRC, wikis, version control, etc. to be helpful. It is suggested that attendees spend 30 minutes before the session skimming the section of Teaching Open Source's Textbook that is of the most interest to them.
You will leave the session with a game plan for leveraging the power of community for one of your current projects - within your organization, outside it, or both - a list of self-teaching resources for the various software collaboration tools you'll need to know, and a round of introductions to existing open source community upstreams and the people involved in building them.
General Point
This is the power of community and The Open Source Way. How much time/effort/resources would it have taken to get to this level of deployability for a radical software experiment under *your* (big company's) current IT paradigm?
history: Greg DeK started the effort to get Sugar into Fedora (ref: OLPC relationship)
Sugar got into Fedora, became accessible for people not having XOs
about a year ago, I started maintaining Sugar on a Stick, based on Fedora
started talking to folks at conference, got involved quickly
{work description goes here}
Sugar became actually deployable
successful v1 launch in June {press coverages go here}
same for v2 launch in December
more examples; successful deployments (Berlin & Boston)
is now even available on RHEL, the enterprise solution
you can have Sugar on your rock-solid systems
all of this happened in one year, pushed by an 18 year old high school student who was 16 at that time
what projects do you have that you'd like to test and make more deployable?
evaluate on the power of remixing, of different targets
skills I had to learn in order to get this to happen (and how to learn them)
build system
spins process
feature process (roadmaps & stuff)
how to engage with the community (culture of asking for feedback, accepting patches, etc)
bug reporting and issue tracking

The aim and ambition of Jeremy Bentham was that everyone would be happy. But how is it possible for everyone to be happy? The Grand Inquisitor gives the answer: by yielding their freedom and submitting to their overlords. This is the dysfunctional and distorted psychology behind the entitlement culture and the welfare state. When [...]

By Glenn Arbery|2020-08-31T15:05:43-05:00August 31st, 2020|Categories: Christianity, Community, Glenn Arbery, Happiness, Nature, Senior Contributors, Wyoming Catholic College|
As this strange summer of a strange year comes to an end, I am reminded of ordinary realities and experiences that now appear in a new light. At our college, classes started back up, and I cannot recall a happier sense of new beginning, partly because this, too, has been defamiliarized. On Sunday of [...]
Reflections on George Gershwin's "Summertime"
By Louis Bethea|2020-07-21T15:37:07-05:00July 25th, 2020|Categories: Christian Living, Christianity, Culture, Happiness, Music, Nature|
DuBose Heyward's timeless lyrics and George Gershwin's iconic melody in "Summertime" speak wisdom to our era of uncertainty. When we hear this American classic, may we always feel the presence of the Lord, remembering that God's greatest desire is to be with each one of us in heaven for all eternity. "Summertime," the classic [...]

Community in the Wasteland

In many ways, cultivating relationships into a thriving community looks like cultivating a garden. Human beings can tolerate uprooting from one place to another, but every time this happens we disrupt those tiny little fibers of attachment from which we draw life. For a long time now, our culture has faced a crisis of [...]

In "Pride and Prejudice," Elizabeth Bennet is vehement that the character of the person must be determined in order to make a good choice. While spouses may change over time in superficial ways, the essentials remain constant. While one may hope for the conversion of a scoundrel or a fool, it is not worth [...]

Alas, we can't un-invent digital technology. Pandora's box can't be closed once it's opened.

Our lives are marked by reversals and recognitions for which we are rarely prepared. That change will come is certain, whether on the stage or in your home.

I regretted having children because children fundamentally altered my entire life in a way I never expected they would.

Solitude takes us out to deep and spacious waters where we see that silence is one of our greatest gifts and blessings, in which we discover not only ourselves but God as well. It's striking the number of books coming out recently on the subject of silence; it must be a felt need in [...]

I had always thought it nonsense to believe in love at first sight. But that sophomoric conceit sank with that setting sun over the Venetian church spires that summer day in 1973. And with it was washed away that companion conceit that falling in love was something that could only happen between two humans… The [...]

It may seem paradoxical to find out that one of the great clarion calls of individuality, modernism, and liberality—"Be yourself"—turns out to be a profound declaration of classical ethics… "Stay true. Be you." "Stay true to yourself." "Be who you are." "Just be yourself." "You do you." These slogans are part of the fundamental [...]

While you enjoy a modern version of the game of golf on Wilmington Delaware golf courses today, it is thought that the Dutch game kolf which was played on frozen canals with a ball and stick in the winter was brought to Scotland's east coast by Dutch sailors and eventually led to the creation of golf. In fact, King James II of Scotland banned the game of golf in 1457 because he thought that the popularity of the game took away from Scotland's military might, but today, you will never have to deal with any restrictions when you want to play on Wilmington Delaware golf courses. Fortunately, Delaware golf courses have all the modern conveniences you could want.
When you play on Wilmington Delaware golf courses and shout the word fore, you should know that it was likely a military phrase before being adopted into the game that was used to let others know to watch ahead. While this notion may not help you to play any better on Delaware golf courses, there are plenty of tips you can enjoy. This way, you can make the most of the game.
You can gather golf grip tips or golf swing tips for beginners if you are not really familiar with how the game works. For those who are, you can brush up on your stance or learn how to use your irons better. Either way, when you play the courses in Delaware, you will have a whole lot of fun.
At the end of the day, golf is a game that can be enjoyed anywhere, but it is definitely fun to try new courses. This is why you should book a golf vacation to Delaware. Once you do, you will never want to leave the green.
I have been looking for some interesting golf courses on the east coast and now that I have read this article, it looks like I may be booking a trip to Delaware. Thanks for the tips.


The supply in Ontario's cottage industry remains "very tight" despite waning sales this summer, according to the Lakelands Association of Realtors.
While the sales of residential waterfront property in July were down 9.9% compared to a year ago, price growth has not curbed accordingly.
"Waterfront prices have continued to rise due to low listings inventory, and are up 25 per cent from the same period last year," said Mike Stahls, president of the Lakelands Association of Realtors.
The median price of a waterfront property in July was $500,000, according to the association.
Waterfront transactions totaled $155.4m in July, a new all-time high for the month, and up 0.2% from 2016 despite the overall number of properties changing hands sinking to 191 from 269 in July last year.
The association provides separate monthly data for non-waterfront properties, and these inland lots and vacation homes saw less dramatic price increases and a steeper decline in sales.
Non-waterfront properties attained a median price of $282,250, resulting in an annual increase of 5.1%, despite the fact that transactions were down 14.9%. This July, 206 of these properties changed hands, achieving a total value of $62.5m, compared to the 242 properties that were sold in July 2016.
"Sales have slowed noticeably this summer, going from record levels in the spring back to historically more average levels in the space of just two months," Stahls said in a statement.


With the month-to-month tenant, you need to give 1 month notice of any changes. Unless your state dictates something different.
Why would you give a tenant that is behind in rent for two months, then consider renewing a lease for a year. NO WAY!!! Back IDEA!!! The best option give this tenant an eviction notice OR give this MTM a 30 day notice of non renewal must be out in 30 days unless the present month to month lease states differently. Then give 30 day notice non renewal of lease.
Plus you can update the unit and rent it for at or above market rent for the unit.
The July lease runs with the unit and since you should have a copy of the lease. Review the lease. Also do an inspection of the unit and charge them for any damages unless prior to your purchase of the unit. And you were told there was damage prior to tenants occupying the unit otherwise charge them for any damages. Post a 24 hour notice to enter the unit for inspection of the unit. Also consider updating the July lease renewal unit. Then you can increase rents at or above market and if they do not want to pay the higher rent they can move and you can rent to a new tenant.
When you bought the property you also bought all of the liabilities & assets including any unpaid rents that were due. Hopefully you verified who owns the appliances, any prepaid last month's rents & any SDs as well as the unpaid rents.
Get rid of the M2M immediately. Once they do something like this, you are better off getting rid of them, repair and upgrade the unit and get a tenant that meets your criteria, on you terms (year lease). If they have not paid rent, evict, otherwise just give the proper notice. Having a vacant unit allows you to do all the delayed repairs and upgrades and see what else needs to be done. Check the mechanicals, carefully inspect the roof, foundation, plumbing etc.
How cold is it in OH? I might leave the month to month in place if they pay rent on time and are taking care of the place. Then give them their 30 day notice to vacate for the 30 days in March.
I wouldn't keep them longer than that after their trick of not paying rent for two months. If they were late for me, I'd get them out immediately and deal with the winter vacancy. I'd rather deal with a vacancy than to deal with non-paying tenants. I most certainly would not put them on a lease because I wouldn't want to keep them.
The same about a winter lease for the other tenant. You have to honor their lease, but sometimes a tenant will agree to sign a new lease if it benefits them. However, switch leases now and you have a lease ending in the middle of winter.
Right now, if they aren't good, you can get rid of them in July. So I suggest that you wait a couple of months to make sure you like them and then ask if they want to sign up for another year lease, that expires May 1st.
Like the others on here said … the one in the lease you are kind of stuck with (read the lease - see if there is anything you can change). Typically you can TRY to change the lease if you want BUT the tenant would have to agree to the change as well. If they don't agree (aka sign the new lease) then you can't do anything but stick with that lease. However, if they break the lease you can pounce if you want. I would just hold off until the lease ends and give them the new lease opportunity (if you want to keep them) sometime in April/May to start when the current lease expires.
As for the m2m - if they haven't paid then I'd send them a POQ notice. I think Ken [NY] also stated to have the Seller sign off on any arrears to you otherwise you really only have the "right" to ask for the amount owed to you for January which is the pro-rated amount for the month. If you don't want to do that then check your state laws to see when you can send them a termination notice. In NY it's 30 calendar days so if you sent it to them "today" the earliest you can get them out is February 28th.
Thanks for the great responses. This is such a helpful sight!
DJ- Yes, our company IS providing 1 month to MTM tenant and we planned to honor the lease agreement. Thanks for the tip on the link above. I have a 2016 edition of Baldwin's Ohio Landlord Tenant Law and use it often and the link is even better as it is updated!
Poder of OH in your first post it appears you own the units. Then in your last post you are in the process to purchase the unit. IF you are negotiating then I would make it the sellers responsibility to evict the non paying tenant. The tenant that is 2 months late I would not waste time and ask to have her out before you purchase the house. OR evict her once you purchase based on the MTM and don't renew the lease. It sounds like only touch up will be needed in the unit that's MTM.
Ok so the MTM has been there 5 years and in the last two months has not paid. I would not waste my time with a second chance because now you set in motion that you are flexible and will let them slide with not paying for several months is ok. Eviction or non renewal is the best option.
Subject: RE: New owner, new lease?


The Queda de Rins (Elbow lever), or QDR as popularized by Ido Portal, are a fantastic – and trendy – foundation which can unlock a wealth of other patterns and more complex moves around dynamic variations of the elbow lever. We will examine in a series of blogs the tools and drills that lead to the QDR circles.
I found through practice and teaching that QDR can become challenging for people who don't have any background in breakdance or capoeira – and sometimes the most efficient way is not be stubborn with the drills you're practicing.
I have compiled the exercises I have designed to successfully teach QDR variations and will be group ing them in a 10-step program.
I'll be posting them one by one – If QDR circles are a goal for you, or if you want to explore dynamics variations of the queda de rins, read diligently, and practice with patience.
Just like the handstands: one of the main errors people commit when flirting with the queda de rins – and it is hard to resist the temptation when our social media feeds are flooded with them – is to ignore wrist prep.
Assuming your wrists are ready – especially if you are not someone who spends a good 2 hours per day on their hands – could be a mistake with a hard price to pay: longevity.
Please note while at it that this kind of reduced angles between the arm and the hand has raised some concerns anatomically – and as usual everything is hardly black or white.
Being comfortable in that kind of angles – let alone being prepared to absorb an impact on that kind of angles and to deal with less than perfect placements – asks for some intelligent prehabilitation.
I'll keep including specific prep drills in the different trainings that will posted in the context of the QDR Series.
Meanwhile, the first step consists in including the following specific prep drills in your own workouts for a couple of days/weeks.
Click on the video above to see all the drills performed.
From a kneeling down position, load one hand at a time and change the angle of your hands everytime. Make sure to work on the spicier angles as you go on and to pay attention to your eblow – I'd advise you to play with fully locked/bent elbows and notice what challenges you. The very same drill can be performed from a straddle split or a crab stance to change the load.
From a push up position (no sagging hips please), lean over your hands – your fingers are at a 45 °C angle from the lines of your shoulders – by pushing on your toes, and go back to the initial position without breaking form.
Same as above, but keep your fingers in line with your shoulders, pointing forward.
Same as above, but your index fingers are facing each other.
From a kneeling down position, place both hands parallel in front of you. Bend one elbow as you are bringing your head to the ground looking at the opposite direction. Sit the elbow on the ribcage or below, and transfer the weight from the feet to the hands. The weight on the head should be minimal.
From the baby QDR position, with one knee down: lift the support knee and slide on your feet to straddle your legs. Stay a couple of seconds, and come back in the same way.
From the straddle position, superload your support arm by staying longer and longer and/or adding leverage with the other arm.
This one is one of my favourites. The goal is to assume the Baby QDR position (without or with a knee down depending on your level) and do micro-movements to load your hand in a dynamic fashion – mimicing what will happen in more complex variations we will study.
Using the knee (or just the feet if you are strong enough), the goal is to support yourself as much as possible through your hands so that your legs become light and you can move your feet – either on a straight line from right to left or drawing half circles with your feet.
More than a strict one arm push-up, the goal here is to overload the wrist and elbow – if you shake, it could be even better. Don't make it a push up exercise – that's why I'd invite you to put your knee down as you push up just like I do in the video.
This is a contemporary floorwork drill I use in my classes that builds on the motion with the knee, starting with you are asked to do with the QDR one arm flexion. Sit your knee down once set up, slide the knee in and finish in a shin box, holding yourself as much as possible with your support arm.
When it comes to QDR variations, most drills can be spiced up removing the amount of support you allow yourself to use.
Note that for aesthetics purposes, you may want to use one specific arm over the other, leave the head free, put the knee down, etc.
You basically have three factors to play with: adding these points of support in will make your life easier and allow you to refine momentum generation or technique – removing them will make it harder.
I hope this first tutorial helped you.
Any question, leave me a comment or send me an email.
