Roar(s) There are no recorded roars for Ranghoul.
Ranghoul is a Gaia Soldier kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in episode 24 of the 1996 tokusatsu kaiju series, Guyferd titled The Warrior of Darkness Lives Again.
Ranghoul was sent by Zodiac to accompany lead scientist Kuzan in revealing the Gaia-Net to the world. He is attacked by Deathferd, and must use a Guyborg to help him. When later attacked by Guyferd, Ranghoul and his Guyborg maintain the upper hand and trap Guyferd with their staves. Deathferd then attacks them and poses such a threat that they must retrieve their weapons from Guyferd's trap, freeing him in the process. By working together Guyferd and Deathferd are able to defeat Ranghoul.

Solar energy is so effective, even the biggest power companies are using it. As the push for renewable energy continues to grow, energy providers are beginning to add different fuels to their stable. Solar, wind, water and biomass energies are becoming more popular and the polluting brown energy is rapidly losing its foothold as the mainstay in power. "Going Green" has become a household phrase that actually means something now.
Renewable energy has become so popular that Texas deregulated the industry there and you can now go to www.texaselectricityproviders.com and choose your provider. You can research which companies have not only the best rates, but what kind of energy they provide.
Brown energy is produced using coal and oil. This has a much higher pollution rate then the more modern renewable energies. It pollutes not only the atmosphere, but our land and rivers as well. Drilling and mining create problems with spillage and destruction of the land itself.
Solar, wind, water and biomass fuels are becoming much more attainable with the farms, that helps our economy and our citizens at the same time. Biomass fuels are made from all natural crops and leave no carbon footprint in their usage as they are not releasing "new carbon" into the atmosphere. They release carbon that is already here. Ethenol is a prime example of biomass fuels. Farmers are helped by producing the crops and the farm crisis of the late 80s and early 90s is not nearly as bad as it was. Things are looking up for our rural areas because of biomass fuels.
Wind farms are popping up all over the United States. By utilizing this constant source of energy, more jobs are being created. This is a definite plus for a country with an unemployment rate that is higher than it has ever been in recent decades. The windiest areas are rapidly becoming the place to be where wind energy is concerned.
Solar power has created untold amounts of employment in various areas. From the plants that produce the panels, to solar farms where workers keep a constant eye on the production facilities. Add to that the lack of carbon being sent into our atmosphere and the excess amounts of energy that these companies can sell to the brown energy plants for usage, and you have benefits that will continue on for generations.
The high costs of running brown energy plants are made easier just by them being able to purchase the excess energy from the "green" companies. With any luck, we will be able to eliminate high pollution energy forever, so long as we keep moving forward with the future in mind.
I highly recommend taking the time to research your options when it comes to your energy provider. You will be surprised at what you will learn and the money that you can save in the end. Not to mention the fact that if you change to a green company, you will certainly feel better about your own contribution to saving our environment and resources.

Las Vegas Pedestrian Accident Statistics
In 2017, 78 pedestrians—a Clark County, Nevada record—were fatally struck by vehicles. The previous record was 60, making pedestrian deaths all too common in the area.
Every year, numerous pedestrians are injured or even killed as a result of another person or entity's negligent or wrongful actions. Drunk and distracted drivers, people speeding down the roadway, and bicyclists not paying attention or illegally riding on sidewalks in municipal areas are some of the common causes behind these devastating accidents.
In fact, pedestrian accidents are common throughout the U.S. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that, last year:
5,376 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes, nearly a 10% increase from the previous year
A pedestrian was killed approximately every 1.6 hours
A pedestrian was injured more than every 7.5 minutes
Pedestrian deaths accounted for 15% of all traffic fatalities
There were more than 70,000 injuries associated with pedestrian accidents, up from 61,000 the previous year
What Are the Most Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents?
The U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration report that the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
24%: Trip on cracked on uneven walkways
17%: Trip/slip and fall
12%: Hit by a car
6%: Wildlife/pets involved
5%: Tripped on rock/stone
5%: Stepped in holes, pits or dips
What Are the Most Common Injuries Associated with Pedestrian Accidents?
Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that almost 130,000 pedestrians were treated throughout the country, either in emergency rooms or quick-care clinics, for non-fatal, pedestrian accident-related injuries.
The CDC goes on to report the most common injuries resulting from pedestrian accidents as:
Neck and spine injuries
Internal organ damage and bleeding
Lacerations and bruising
Torn muscles and ligaments
What To Do After A Pedestrian Accident?
There are five steps you should take if you are involved in a pedestrian accident:
Get medical help right away. Your well-being is the most crucial factor after a pedestrian accident.
Contact the police department to take your statement and complete a full report for future use.
If you can assess the scene before seeking medical care, record the information related to the cause of your injury. This can include the driver's information (if a car is involved) or the location of your accident (if poor maintenance is involved). You should also take down the contact information of any witnesses at the scene.
Take pictures of the cause of your pedestrian accident with your cell phone. It's also a good idea to take pictures of your injuries (if possible/appropriate).
Contact a pedestrian accident attorney to investigate the cause of your injury and to move forward with the next steps in pursuing a case against the liable person or party.
What If the Driver Leaves the Scene or the Cause of the Accident Is Repaired Before I Can Make a Claim?
If you are rushed from the scene with a medical emergency after your accident, our Las Vegas pedestrian accident attorneys will take the lead in fully researching and investigating your accident after the fact. In these cases, our partnerships with accident reconstruction experts and our extensive experience with fleeing motorists, company cover-ups, and other complex circumstances allow us to retrace the accident and create a case to support your claims in court.

AJIRI #51: The Fatah Goal at the UN Security Council: Recognition of the Claim of a "Right of Return"
January 27, 2015 by sally-author
What do the latest Palestinian moves at the UN really mean? AJIRI's latest report "The Fatah Goal at the UN Security Council: Recognition of the Claim of a "Right of Return" spells it out.

AJIRI #50: The UN's latest Anti-Israel Project: The War Crimes Charge
August 19, 2014 by sally-author
After ignoring the continuing Hamas attacks against Israel for years, the UN Human Rights Council convened 15 days after the start of the most recent military activities between Israel and Gaza. It spent a few hours listening to speeches attacking Israel and, without further investigation, adopted a pre-cooked resolution that found Israel guilty of a series of war crimes. The Council then arranged for the creation of a commission that was assigned the task of collecting the evidence that would retroactively prove that the Council was right in issuing its guilty verdict against Israel. The Council also called upon the Commission to come up with the names of Israeli officials against whom war crimes charges are to be brought.

AJIRI #42: Mahmoud Abbas Speech to the 67th UN General Assembly
October 3, 2012 by sally-author
Rejecting Negotiations with Israel
In the course of the first week of the 67th Session of the UN General Assembly a great deal of media attention has been paid to Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech, which focused on the problem posed by Iran's nuclear program. By contrast, very little attention was paid to the speech of President Mahmoud Abbas, a speech that offers very little hope of a peace agreement in the near future.
Abbas made it quite clear that he is not prepared to enter into negotiations with Israel. As he put it "marathon negotiations are not required to determine … the core components of a just solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." These components, he said, "are the clearest and most logical in the world." They include "the realization of the independence of the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, over the entire territory occupied by Israel since 1967, and the realization of a just, agreed solution to the Palestine refugee issue in accordance with resolution 194 (iii), as prescribed in the Arab Peace Initiative."

AJIRI #41: The Problem Israel Faces at the UN
September 13, 2012 by sally-author
The Beginning: Castro and Qaddafi Take Control of the UNGA Agenda
For close to forty years, the UN has served as the center of a worldwide effort to delegitimize Israel. It started when Fidel Castro and Muammar Qaddafi, after competing for the leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement, decided in the early 1970's to join in an effort to take control of the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Castro brought to this effort the member states of the Soviet bloc at the UN. Qaddafi brought the Organization of the Islamic Conference (now known as the Organization for Islamic Cooperation).
AJIRI #40: The Status of Jerusalem
Recent events have introduced the question of the status of Jerusalem into the political debate. That in turn has produced a good deal of media commentary, reminding the general public of the fact that the seat of government of the State of Israel is Jerusalem, but the U.S. Embassy, as well as other embassies, are located in Tel Aviv. Note has also been taken of the fact that in 1995 Congress called for moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but allowed the President to waive that provision of law if a waiver is deemed to be in the national interest. Waivers have been issued, at regular intervals, by Presidents Clinton, G.W. Bush, and Obama.
AJIRI 39: The 19th (March 2012) Session of the UN Human Rights Council
April 1, 2012 by sally-author
Laying the Foundation for another Goldstone Report
Following the conclusion of the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council, at which five resolutions directed against Israel were adopted, the Government of Israel decided to break off all contacts with the Council, and thus with the staff of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Its action was prompted by one of the five resolutions, a resolution "to dispatch an independent international fact-finding mission … to investigate the implications of the Israeli settlements on the civil, political, economic, cultural and social rights of the Palestinian people."

April 12, 2011 by Webmaster 2
Although Justice Richard Goldstone issued a statement on April 1, 2011, noting the inaccuracy of what has become known as the Goldstone Report, it is unlikely that the UN will repudiate it, as it has become an important tool used by the UN to delegitimize Israel. Just before Goldstone's statement, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a "follow-up" resolution to it.
AJIRI 34: The 2011 UN Program to Undermine Israeli/Palestinian Peace Efforts
February 12, 2011 by Webmaster 2
On January 21, 2011 the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) stated their program's goals for the year. It was made clear that the Palestinian Authority has no plans to negotiate a peace treaty with Israel and instead plans to utilize the UN to impose a peace arrangement on Israel that will establish a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders and provide for the migration of up to 4.7 million Palestinians to Israel under the "right of return." They also called for the State of Palestine to gain membership in the United Nations.

This is the most versatile basic dough that can be turned into pretty much anything you can think up! Perfect for loaves, scrolls, pizza bases, calzones, dinner rolls and even BBQ pita breads! And if that's not enough you can add your favourite spices, herbs, cheeses or wholemeal flours to create even more possibilities.
Combine flour, yeast, salt and sugar into medium sized bowl. It is important to work quickly during the next few steps to activate the yeast.
Add 1 cup of warm water and mix thoroughly, add further water slowly while mixing to achieve a scone-like consistency. Mix the dough in the bowl until it starts to come together, then keep adding a tablespoon of water at a time until it forms a ball.
Tip dough onto a floured bench and work well until dough becomes very elastic and smooth. You will know it has been kneaded enough when it becomes smooth, elastic and does not stick to clean hands.
Place dough into a clean, oiled bowl, cover with glad wrap and allow to prove (rise) in a warm spot until it has doubled in size.
Once your dough had doubled in size you need to perform the step of 'knocking back' this is exactly what it sounds like! Tip your dough out onto the bench, with your hand squash the air from the dough. The final step is to shape the dough into a tight rugby ball shape and place in oiled tin or tray, Spray the top of the loaf with oil and loosely cover with glad wrap. Leave you loaf in a warm spot until it has doubled in size.
Place your proved loaf in oven and bake until golden and makes a hollow sound when the bottom is tapped.

Home Sport Kylian Mbappé Is Wanted By Real Madrid
The newspaper 'AS', in its front page this Tuesday, indicates that Real Madrid has laid out its plan to sign Kylian Mbappé. The team has an economic plan that it will follow to the letter.
The world of football is going through a difficult time due to the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus. The clubs have less room for manoeuvre, as is the case with Real Madrid.
The 'merengue' team, a real power in financial terms, has been affected by the pandemic and its income has collapsed, which has forced it to make adjustments.
In spite of going through a complicated situation, the club does has not lost sight of the special one: Mbappé. The Frenchman is Florentino Perez's number one target and he will do his best to dress him in white.
The newspaper 'AS', in its cover of this Tuesday, indicates that Madrid has elaborated an economic plan to try to obtain the star of Paris Saint-Germain, something that will not be easy.
It is true that the footballer is reluctant to renew and the latest rumors suggest that Pochettino does not count on the striker, especially with Messi and Kun Agüero waiting in the wings.
That would open the door for him and Madrid is ready. The mentioned source points out that the first objective is to get about 100 million euros through the sale of a series of players: Isco, Ceballos, Bale, Jovic, Brahim or Marcelo, among others.
The second part of 'Operation Mbappé' is to reach an income of 800 million, an amount of money that the team could reach after the return of the public to the stadiums (next season).
But that does not stop there. Also, the Madrid newspaper indicates that the club will look to take loans to secure enough money for the deal and for the player's wage.
The 21 million he currently charges at PSG and the price that Al-Khelaïfi wants to set seem like a problem, although with a year's contract remaining that figure could fall considerably.
This is the plan Madrid has drawn up to try to sign one of the best players of the moment and of the future.

Dad, daughter found dead in home sought help to fix furnace
NILES, Mich. — An 81-year-old man and his daughter had looked for help to get their furnace fixed just days before their bodies were found inside a cold home in Michigan, according to the South Bend Tribune.
The bodies of Albert Bivins and Patricia Bivins were found at their home in Niles, Michigan on Jan. 3. They reportedly had visited the Ferry Street Resource Center to get help after their furnace stopped working just days before their deaths.
Greg Nasstrom, director of the center, said he couldn't provide financial help with furnaces and referred them to state officials.
Police say gas and electric services were working in the home but the temperature inside was below freezing.
The official cause of the deaths has not been determined but police believe the deaths were accidental.
It's unknown if they further pursued getting help before they were found dead.

MAC-PAC Political Action Committee
Visit here for MAC-PAC Contribution Form
The Mortgage Bankers Association of the Carolinas, Inc. embraced the following Mission Statement in 1955 when it was created:
"Our mission is to unite as an organization
of mortgage professionals, creating value for the membership through
education, legislative representation, and
communication, while promoting the highest level of ethical standards"
Each part of MBAC's mission ties to the Association and its members taking a pro-active position on the legislative issues that impact the mortgage lending industry. MBAC has a Legislative Committee in North Carolina and an active membership for that committee. It has a Legislative Committee in South Carolina with an equally engaged committee membership. The leadership and members for each committee can be located under the Committee Leadership tab of the Welcome Page. Each state is represented with a lobbyist. Our lobbyists work closely with the Legislative Committees and MBAC membership to ensure our voice is heard by our legislators.
Our efforts require money and for that reason the Mortgage Bankers Association of the Carolinas, Inc. created a Political Action Committee. We call that Committee MAC-PAC.
Providing legislative representation in support of our member companies and our industry overall is a key part of our mission as a trade association. We continue to successfully accomplish this goal through the efforts of the legislative committees and our paid lobbyists. The cost of this advocacy supporting our livelihood is paid for through the voluntary contributions from each of us.
Challenges and reasons for supporting MAC-PAC may vary from year to year. Below are ten very real reasons to assist in funding MAC-PAC now:
1. It's like going to the dentist. NO ONE likes it but it is critical to avoid more serious problems in the
2. No one else is representing you mortgage specific legislative issues in North and South Carolina.
3. It is critical to have someone telling "our" side of the story - not the side heard in the media!
4. Someone has to commit the time and be prepared with the knowledge and facts
to advocate on our behalf before proposed legislation becomes law!
5. Political advocacy and effective representation could not be more important in today's climate where
many believe, based on what is frequently heard and seen in the media, that all negative issues in the
housing finance industry are the direct responsibility of mortgage lenders.
6. We can stand together. All lenders, affiliates and associates are represented. For each to commit
his "Fair Share" is greatly needed.
7. Who has the time, the experience or the legislative community contacts to themselves?
8. If I don't support the representation and advocacy of my own livelihood, how can I expect someone
else to support it for me? And who else will?
9. There is a thing called "unintended consequences". While we recognize our legislators have a duty
to deal with both real and perceived problems that adversely impact consumers, we must make sure
our legislators comprehend the consequences of excessive legislation as it relates to licensing, fraud
liability, appraisal management, high cost loans, limitations on loan products. The "unintended
consequences" can hurt the consumer more than the legislation protects the consumer.
10. Our industry continues to shrink. Our individual commitment is more important than ever.
Please make your contribution to MAC-PAC today.

Fixing the "food economy"
May 27, 2009 By WRN Contributor
An expert on food economies says farming is just not paying off for producers and consumers, and encouraging people to "buy local" may be the best hope for the industry.
Ken Meter is the president of the Minneapolis-based Crossroads Resource Center, and has studied food economy regions in 20 states. Meter recently studied southwest Wisconsin's four-county region of Monroe, Crawford, Richland, and Vernon Counties. He says farmers in those areas are producing an average $404 million worth of commodities each year, at a cost of $434 million each year.
Meter says the emphasis on more "efficient" operations is playing out the same way across the country. Farmers are doing worse and worse, even with government subsidies. He says farm families are surviving by taking an off-the-farm job to support their "habit" of farming. Meter says the combination of farm losses, inputs bought elsewhere, and consumer spending leaving the region adds up.
Meter says that points to the good news though; if everyone in the region bought 25-percent of their food from local farms, it would amount to $33 million a year. That would be enough to offset the current losses. Meter says considering this, and the state of the overall economy, local food networks may be the solution to keeping farms alive.
Meter says it's a choice of paying cash for commodities or investing in communities.

Tastes of BBQ Culture around the World!
Why do WE travel? Why do YOU travel?
People travel for different reasons and in search of different things.
I don't think it really matters WHY we travel, it matters more than we DO travel, that we follow passions and feed our wanderlust souls!
There is so much about travel that I love! But this post here, this post is about the food that different countries and different cultures bring.
One of the things that I adore about travel is to discover what the 'country' tastes like, to discover what combination of spices makes the 'country' zing, to infuse my soul with the smells that the markets and food streets bring!
So with that in mind, we want to take you for a quick round-the-world trip, focusing on one aspect of cultural cooking that I think we can all say we love! The mighty old barbeque!
Now, what makes BBQ so interesting? What makes it something worth writing about? Well, my friends, because regions across the world, all feature unique ways of how THEY barbeque. Ways that become so ingrained as part of their culture that it becomes a part of who they are as an individual.
You will find that some cultures love to toast up their meat over an open fire, whilst other enjoy covering it in tasty sauces. Other cultures really enjoy adding flavor by smoking it with either the traditional coal and wood smokers or the new electric smokers, whilst others love throwing their meat on a gas BBQ for a quick stir fry.
Let's have a very quick look at only SOME of the delicious ways in which different cultures love to BBQ.
Are you ready for a taste testing adventure?
For those of you who know me well enough, you will know that I was born and raised in my beautiful home country of South Africa. The almighty South African braai is so much a part of my culture where I am from that it instantly brings a flood of memories and smiles to my mind. In South Africa, a braai is part of our pride, it is not just about the charcoal grilled smoky meat, but it is more about the socialising and gatherings that happen around the actual braai itself. Yummy succulent pieces of steak, sosaties, boerewors and more! YUMMM!!!!
Small pieces of meat skewered on a bamboo stick, marinated in a mixture of spices and pulverized peanuts to create the all famous Satay flavour. These skewers are then grilled over a charcoal flame. And the best part? The best part is that gorgeous Satay dipping sauce to drown your yummy smoky meat in! I love Satay sauce!! Do you?
Argentinian Asado – It is so much more than just meat!
An Asado! What is an Asado? Oh gosh, it is so much more than just meat over fire!! It is a complete culinary cultural event, a social gathering. It is no surprise that Argentina has a reputation for its top notch delicious beef! So it should come at no surprise that this country knows exactly how to cook this beef, slowly roasting over fire, while still keeping all of its succulent juices intact. Mouth watering yet? It should!
Ah how gorgeous and delicious does that skewer of sticky glossy meat look? Yakitori is basically the Japanese equivalent of shish kebab. Delicious pieces of meat on a skewer covered in a yummy teriyaki sauce. Ahhhh!! Get in my belly NOW!!!
Now, for this one over to Andrzej.
Ok, so I am originally from Poland and growing up in this amazing Northern European country, I have spent countless evenings camping with family and friends alike. One of the most awesome memories from those nights is of course the sausage on the stick. Couple of notches into the sausage, skewer it onto a stick that you yourself found and sharpened, and slowly grill it over the fire. Even now, after 8 years of not being in Poland, all my senses awaken and fire up with excitement. The sweet smell of meat over fire, the crackling sounds of wood, the crispy skin of the sausage when you sink your teeth into it.. Ahhh.. Say no more!! I need to take my family to Poland pronto!! Salivating and strangely hungry, I will give you back over to my gorgeous wife.
Food!! We love food, we love discovering and experiencing new flavours and types of cooking styles when we travel! The food culture to us tells it own kind of story, a story that tickles the taste and smell senses. A story that is so different to the story it tells the everyday tourists. It is a way of getting to know the country on such a deeper level! When you travel, immerse yourself into the food as much as you do into the tourist attractions, you won't regret it!!
Over to you: Which type of BBQ is your favourite?? What type of BBQ style do you have in your culture?
Thanks for sharing this great guides !

Roadside Oddity: The Return of Alley Oop Day and Fantasy Land in Iraan
This weekend, the small West Texas town revives a beloved event themed around the 89-year-old comic strip
John Nova Lomax
Published: June 2, 2021 at 3:01 pm
Written by Sarah Thurmond | Updated: October 6, 2022 | Filed Under: Travel News

Back in the spring of 1964, West Texans in towns like Iraan were in something of an existential crisis. Agriculture and petroleum, the lifebloods of their economy, were on the wane. Iraan, situated about 80 miles south of Odessa, would have to get creative and cash in on one of the top industries in America's economy.
"Tourism is the third largest money-making industry in this country, and you'd better get your town in shape if you want a part of this dollar," advised George Jordon, head of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce. As reported by the Odessa American at the time, Jordon went on to cite the success of attractions like Six Flags and Happy Shahan's Alamo Village in Brackettville, then the two biggest draws in the state.
"But just because you don't have a Six Flags or a state park, don't you think for a minute Iraan doesn't have something to offer visitors," Jordon continued. "Dream big."
It just so happened the community was hard at work on something that would set it apart. On May 8, 1964, the city held its first Alley Oop Day, a celebration of the wildly popular comic strip about a time-traveling caveman created by Vincent Trout (V.T.) Hamlin. The slate of events included a barbecue, beauty pageant, and live music.
This Saturday, for the first time in more than a decade, the Alley Oop Festival will be resurrected in the town's city park, named Alley Oop Fantasy Land, located on Alley Oop Lane. The daylong party features a 5K run, cornhole, bingo, a 3-on-3 basketball tourney, a barbecue cookoff, a Mr. Oop and Miss Oola beauty pageant, and a concert and dancing to the sounds of headliner Clete Bradley and the Mood and opener Ken Baucham.
As in year's past, the festival's centerpiece is the 65-foot-long statue of Dinny, Alley Oop's friendly brontosaurus-like steed. Dinny was unveiled at the dedication ceremony of the Alley Oop Fantasy Land in 1965. A local teasingly told an Odessa reporter that the dinosaur's size would make it larger than Odessa's giant jackrabbit. Best of all, Hamlin appeared in person.
Today, Iraan town leaders are hoping his ghost can return. And Andrea Garza, president of the Iraan-Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, is heeding the words by the former chamber president of dreaming big with the event's revival.
"When I moved here from Rankin two years ago, I realized there's just not a lot to do," she says. "There needs to be more to do here. We need a breath of fresh air. Just some more activities, some more things for the kids. And, of course, that's what the Chamber of Commerce is about, helping businesses and things like that. The main reason we wanted to put this on was to help businesses spruce this town up."
It will also be a rebirth of sorts for the town's signature Alley Oop Fantasy Land. For years now, aficionados of quirky roadside attractions have lamented the park's decline, complaining of rusty playground equipment and trash-strewn grounds. Yet the town still had a museum with a collection encompassing not just exhibits on Alley Oop and its creator, but also collections that inspired him to create the strip in the first place. By 2019, however, the museum closed after its director, the irrepressible nonagenarian Edna "Snooks" Collett, suffered a fall.
Garza hopes this year's event will put the park back on the map and set a course for the museum to reopen "down the road."
"I'll be honest," she says, "I haven't been in the museum. It was closed when I got here, but I hear there are lots of cool things in there, like arrowheads and fossils, and some Alley Oop stuff, and they are not doing anybody any good like that. So we are hoping to raise some money to get that back open."
Although Hamlin was not a native West Texan nor even a long-term resident of the area, his now 89-year-old creation—it's still in syndication with artist Jonathan Lemon and writer Joey Alison Sayers—was born and raised in Iraan. Without his life-altering stint drawing maps and art layouts for oil companies there in the 1920s, and thereby falling utterly in love with the bewitching Trans-Pecos deserts and mountains, and its literal truckloads of prehistoric fossils, Hamlin may never have settled down at all.
Born in Perry, Iowa, in 1900, Hamlin fought in World War I before finishing high school, attending college, and then years of restless travel and a succession of jobs as everything from a sign painter to a semi-pro boxer to various roles at various newspapers. At the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, in 1923, he was a writer, photographer, and finally, a cartoonist. The job came to an end inside of a year when he and a co-worker were caught printing fake labels for bootleg whiskey bottles on the paper's engraving equipment.
Hamlin headed southwest to the oil patches, where he applied his artistic talents toward drawing topographical maps and field layouts. While in the Iraan area, a geologist explained to him the processes that created modern Iraan: how the seas that once covered much of Texas retreated, how those craggy mountains came to be, the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, and the cave-dwelling lives of our most distant human ancestors.
Hamlin took it all in, and the first sketches of Alley Oop took shape as a lantern-jawed, loincloth-clad caveman who was never without his giant cudgel. Alley ventured through the land of Moo with pet dinosaur Dinny and his woman Oola. (Her name comes from the French "ooh-la-la," the name of the comic from "Allez-hop!" Alley Oop most likely came from allez-hop, a cry French acrobats would holler before each of their most daring feats.)
Launched in December 1932, Alley Oop was a success from the start, syndicated to 400 papers by 1934. "I've yet to reach the stage where Alley and his gang bore me," Hamlin told Literary Digest that same year. "I like cartooning and paleontology both, and my so-called comic is a combination of the two."
Five years later, Hamlin felt that Alley, Dinny, and Oola had "overgrazed the pastures" in the Land of Moo. He'd run out of "Bone Age" (his equivalent to the Stone Age) shenanigans for his characters.
Dorothy Stapleton, his former high school sweetheart-turned-wife and model for Oola, suggested introducing a time machine, which Hamlin did through the character of genius scientist Dr. Wonmug. The time machine propelled Alley Oop to new heights of popularity, including spawning a No. 1 hit song by the Hollywood Argyles in 1960 and entering into the lexicon of sports. More importantly, it energized Hamlin to keep making the strip until his retirement in 1972.
Today, the term "alley oop" is most notable as a term for plays in basketball and football. Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle, of Marshall, is credited with creating the football alley oop in 1957, and college basketball players started using the term when a player standing far from the basket lobs a long pass in the vicinity of the hoop and the ball is snatched out of the air and slam-dunked by a teammate.
Iraan's decision to theme their town's tourism on Alley Oop 32 years after the strip was born was not as crazy as it might seem today. Nor is the decision to restore the park and museum to its former glory. Judging by the energy from the project's Facebook page, if nothing else, it has energized many of the town's young leaders to dream big.

Funds Received from Recovered Property
Further to a statement issued by the Claims Conference on April 22, 2008, the following is a list of assets recovered from 1993 through April 30, 2008 by the Claims Conference Successor Organization for which it has received funds. This list was prepared and is published in response to requests for general information regarding the recoveries of the Successor Organization. Since the commencement of these activities in 1993, the audited Financial Statements of the Claims Conference have included audited figures for these amounts (see below).
Each entry in the following 193-page list represents years of legal struggle by the Claims Conference to recover formerly Jewish properties lost in the Holocaust.
The list includes proceeds arising from the sales of restituted assets, settlements, compensation paid by the authorities for assets that could not be restituted, and bulk settlements, and covers both private and communal property.
In 1990, the new government of a reunified Germany passed legislation to restitute property that had been nationalized by the former East German Communist regime. The Claims Conference negotiated intensely to include in this legislation the restitution of Jewish property that was either sold after 1933 under duress or confiscated by the Nazis.
As a result, original Jewish owners and heirs gained the right to file claims for property in the former East Germany. The German government imposed an application deadline, which, under pressure from the Claims Conference, was extended to Dec. 31, 1992 for real estate claims, and June 30, 1993 for claims for movable property. This deadline was publicized by the German government.
The Claims Conference also negotiated to become the legal successor to individual Jewish property and property of dissolved Jewish communities and organizations that went unclaimed after Dec. 31, 1992. Before the deadline, the Claims Conference also conducted a massive research effort to identify all possible Jewish properties.
Had the Claims Conference not taken these steps, Jewish assets that remained unclaimed after the filing deadline would have remained with the owners at the time (including in many cases the original "aryanizers") or reverted to the German government.
The Claims Conference, therefore, is the legal successor to unclaimed Jewish assets in the former East Germany. If the Claims Conference successfully files a claim to an asset and no Jewish heir did so, it is entitled to recover such an asset. From the proceeds of these assets, the Claims Conference has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations and institutions that assist the neediest and most vulnerable Jewish victims of Nazi persecution, with a smaller amount funding those that engage in Shoah education, documentation, and research.
Goodwill Fund
In 1994, the Claims Conference established a Goodwill Fund to make payments to certain property owners or heirs who did not file claims by the German government deadline of 1992, but who filed applications with the Claims Conference by March 31, 2004.
In September 2003, the Claims Conference published a list, to the extent available, of names of original owners of assets that were located in the former East Germany recovered by the Claims Conference or which related to such assets for which claims by the Claims Conference were still pending under the German Property Restitution Law. A total of 59,198 names were published on the internet. When it published this list, the Claims Conference announced in a follow up major advertising and media campaign in 100 Jewish newspapers across the world that the final deadline for applications to the Goodwill Fund was March 31, 2004. The Claims Conference Board of Directors based its decision on the fact that the Goodwill Fund had been accepting applications for 10 years, and without a deadline it would be necessary to stop allocations from the proceeds of these assets for homecare and other social services for needy Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. The fund is no longer receiving applications. Details regarding the Goodwill Fund can be found at the Goodwill Fund website.
This list of recovered assets includes a large number of cases where the proceeds have been or will be paid to heirs under the Goodwill Fund that was established in 1994.
To date, approximately €704 million or 34 percent of the income of the Successor Organization has been paid or set aside for payments to Goodwill Fund applicants/heirs.
Additionally, as mentioned above, the amounts listed in the following list have been reflected in the Claims Conference audited Financial Statements since the beginning of these activities in 1993. Summary reports and the complete audited financial statements can be found at www.claimscon.org/financials.
Homecare, Hunger Relief and Other Essential Social Welfare Services for Nazi Victims
The proceeds recovered by the Successor Organization that are not designated for heirs to properties are used to fund organizations and institutions that provide vital social services to needy Jewish victims of Nazi persecution in 50 countries, and that engage in Shoah education, documentation, and research. Details, including a list of grants, can be found at the Allocations website.

How to get real-time, personalized info on Google Maps for iOS
Nobody likes to be late for a meeting or event. And when you're on the go, juggling between different apps for essential information like where to grab a quick bite or which bus to catch could become very annoying. But with real-time, personalized commuter information on Google Maps, getting around has become easier than ever.
If you have the latest version of Google Maps, just swipe up at the bottom of the screen and you will see three tabs: the explore tab, driving tab, and transit tab. These tabs are hyper-useful and pack in a ton of information to help you explore the world around you more efficiently. While Android users may be familiar with this facility because they have enjoyed it for over a year now, the feature has just been rolled out for iOS devices. Let's see how it works…
Explore tab
This is where you will find nearby dining options. There are curated lists of places to eat, like business restaurants or budget diners. Other useful everyday spots like shopping marts, ATMs, florists, pharmacies, etc., are also listed under this tab. You can see pictures of the neighboring areas and even read their short description to familiarize yourself.
Driving tab
If you have saved your home and work locations on Google Maps, this tab will give you real-time ETAs and traffic updates. It even gives you an option to get real-time traffic info without turn-by-turn directions, which comes in quite handy when you're on your usual route.
Transit tab
If you use public transport to get around, this tab is going to become your best friend. Simply save your home and work locations and leave the rest to Google Maps. You will see recommendations for which bus or train to take, and the time it will take for you to arrive at work or home. Headed to another location? You can find out when the next bus or train is coming to the nearby transit point, and never sprint to catch one again!

Death by pushpins – Location data and user experience
Heartbreaking tragedy shines light on efficacy of Snap Map's web debut
Last Wednesday, on Valentine's Day, a teenager opened fire in a Florida high school, killing 17. Now, the United States is no stranger to mass shootings. Last week's incident was this year's 18th. What was different though was how the country, and the world, experienced that horrific event.
The students who survived the shooting took to Snapchat to give a first-hand account of what was happening inside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. They documented the chaos by posting videos and stories of people running from the gunman, the police response, fellow students hiding during the lockdown, et al. They also used the platform to let friends and family know they are safe.
But the gruesome account of their vulnerability wouldn't remain confined to the users of the popular social media platform. Anybody who visited map.snapchat.com at the time could see the report of active shooting featured on Snapchat's location-sharing tool Snap Map.
That's because only a few days ago, Snapchat had released a web browser version of Snap Map. And when the shooting began, Snapchat employees curated the stories coming to its platform to give a 'breaking news' report of the tragedy.
Footage from the scene of the Florida high school shooting on SnapMap shows heavy police presence, emergency vehicles, and helicopters. https://t.co/GagieJcugD pic.twitter.com/Rz1bgunAK6
— Emmanuelle Saliba (@_esaliba) February 14, 2018
The Snapchat team followed all the best practices you would expect an established news source to follow while reporting the sensitive topic. They sifted through the stream of posts to see which content would add value to the users and should be broadcasted to the web. They labeled disturbing visuals as 'graphic content'. They verified the reports coming in. And, of course, they made the story available to the whole world irrespective of whether they have a Snapchat account or not – via Snap Map's web version.
But watching a heartbreaking tragedy shine light on the efficacy of Snap Map's web debut was almost watching history repeat itself. When Snap Map debuted in June 2017, it was met with much skepticism. Its Actionmoji caricatures were freaking people out and privacy advocates were hailing the feature as a stalker's paradise. It wasn't until Hurricane Harvey flooded Texas in late August that Snap Map finally got its moment in the sun (no pun intended).
In the 86 hours that Harvey unleashed its full fury on Texas, Snap Map's Our Story stream received between 250,000 to 300,000 submissions. It played an instrumental role in giving people a first-hand account of what was happening in Houston. It helped victims find out where the nearest shelter was, or where volunteers were distributing food and supplies.
Read in detail: How Hurricane Harvey helped Snap Map shed its 'creepy AF' status
Today, Snap Map has over 100 million monthly active users, which is no mean feat for a geospatial application launched less than a year ago. Naturally, Snapchat has big plans for Snap Map.
In an earnings call, Evan Spiegel, CEO and Co-Founder of Snap, has explained, "We'll be working on improving the frequency with which people use that product, mostly by trying to provide more value around using the maps experience. Today, it's hard to know where to go, it's hard to navigate interesting things that are happening. And so as we improve the product, we will make it easier for you to find the most interesting things that happened on your map."
For now, if you swipe around Snap Map on your desktop or mobile browser, you will see public story bubbles at hotspots around your city. Zoom in and tap on a bubble to see what strangers in that area have been capturing on their phones. You can even share Map Stories you're viewing by clicking on the button on the top right corner of the map.
It will be interesting to see how marketers leverage this feature, because that will give Snap an opportunity to finally monetize the Maps product too. In the meantime, let's count on Snap Map to be our window into the world in the most unique and personal manner.

TV Terra do Sol é uma emissora de televisão brasileira sediada na cidade de Fortaleza, capital do estado do Ceará. Pertencente à Prefeitura de Fortaleza, iniciou suas transmissões pelo canal 42 UHF digital em 8 de outubro de 2019 na gestão de Roberto Cláudio após passar por processo de implantação concebido em 2006, durante o governo de Luizianne Lins.

História
Em 2006 a então prefeita de Fortaleza Luizianne Lins, em seu primeiro mandato, anunciou que a gestão havia sido autorizada a implantar uma emissora de televisão educativa. Para a viabilização de sua montagem, foi criado, por meio do decreto municipal n.º 12.108, um grupo de trabalho com orientação da Coordenadoria de Projetos Especiais, Relações Institucionais e Internacionais da Prefeitura. No ano seguinte o projeto do canal entrou na lista de propostas de Lei Orçamentária Anual da Câmara Municipal, passando a ser sugerido anualmente o investimento de 1,5 milhão de reais para a instalação e a operação de equipamentos. Até agosto de 2011 haviam sido gastos mais de 1,2 milhão para a estação e a previsão era de que sua operação fosse iniciada no segundo mandato de Lins. Entretanto, em 28 de dezembro de 2012, último dia útil de seu governo, a prefeita assinou o decreto n.º 13.054, que extinguiu o grupo de trabalho para montar a TV.

Em 5 de fevereiro de 2014 o agora prefeito Roberto Cláudio informou, durante a solenidade de início das atividades legislativas daquele ano na Câmara Municipal, que um novo projeto de emissora da prefeitura, baseado no anterior da gestão de Lins, estava em curso sob o nome TV Terra do Sol. O pagamento de equipamentos de transmissão havia sido finalizado pelo governo de Cláudio no ano anterior. O canal 56 UHF digital de Fortaleza foi concedido para a operação da estação pela portaria n.º 2.939 publicada no Diário Oficial da União em 9 de outubro de 2015. Foi outorgado também o 57 UHF analógico, devolvido em junho de 2017 em virtude do desligamento do sistema analógico de transmissão na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza. No mesmo despacho, publicado no DOU em 22 daquele mês, a concessão em sinal digital foi alterada para a do canal 42 UHF a pedido da Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações. Em abril de 2018 o projeto da emissora chegou a ser interrompido pela prefeitura por inviabilidade financeira.

A TV Terra do Sol iniciou suas transmissões em caráter experimental em 8 de outubro de 2019. Seu primeiro programa, o Notícias de Fortaleza, estreou em 1.º de julho de 2020 com apresentação do jornalista Rogério Gomes. Em agosto daquele ano a emissora assinou com a TV Assembleia um termo de cooperação para troca de conteúdos.
