SBC leader Page speaks at IEC

YUKON—Frank Page, president and chief executive officer of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, was a keynote speaker at the Oklahoma Indian Evangelism Conference (IEC), March 5-7, at Yukon, Canadian Valley. The IEC drew 180 people who represented 57 churches and at least 21 tribes.
Emerson Falls, Native American specialist for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, expressed his appreciation for Canadian Valley hosting after the IEC needed to relocate.
"Originally, the conference was scheduled to be at another location," said Falls who served as conference director. "About five weeks prior to the conference, the original (host) church discovered that it could not host the conference due to contractual delays in the remodeling project. Canadian Valley agreed to host the conference and did a great job serving as the host church."
Page spoke during the Friday evening session. He thanked Falls and the Fellowship of Native American Churches (FONAC) for "the great work of the vision God has given you." Falls also serves as the chairman of FONAC's executive board.
"I pray my words tonight might be an encouragement for all of you as we seek to reach people for Christ," said Page as he said he likes to call himself the "chief encouraging officer" of the Southern Baptist Convention. "We need to share the Gospel with every man, woman, boy and girl on the face of this Earth. Every little Native American girl, every little Native American boy, man and woman. There are still little boys and little girls in Native American communities all over this land who still have not heard the Gospel."

As the theme of the conference was "Woe to those who are at ease in Zion," based on Amos 6:1, Page spoke about churches doing good things, but forsaking "our first love."
Other speakers gave challenging messages that related to the conference's theme. Evangelist David Lewis, from Tishomingo, challenged people to "wake up." Richard Pickup, pastor of Salina, New Jordan, reminded conference attendees to "remember from where they have fallen."
Randy Colbert, pastor of Okemah, All Nations, warned of the danger of isolation from those who may be culturally different. Wayne Harjo, pastor of Okemah, Buckeye Creek, encouraged everyone to listen and respond to the call of God. Vern Charette, assistant professor of preaching at Southwestern Seminary, concluded the conference sharing the key to overcoming apostasy and apathy was to "keep yourselves in the love of God."
"I was amazed at how each message seemed to flow from the previous message," said Falls. "It seemed like the speakers got together and planned the messages, but they didn't. Obviously, the Lord spoke to us through His messengers."
Native Praise also provided special music in the final session. The choir of Native American ladies opened with "Amazing Grace" sung in three different tribal languages.

Augusta "Gus" Smith, choir director, reported Native Praise has been invited to sing at many venues, including the University of Oklahoma and state public high schools. "They are still talking about us," Smith said about students who heard Native Praise sing. "And we are not taking this as 'Look what we did.' We are looking at it as 'Look what God is doing.' We don't want to look at us as a show, as a performance. We want to worship."
Falls was pleased with the outcome of IEC. "At each service, it was encouraging to see pastors and leaders from our churches on their knees at the altar in repentance and re-commitment. Many people remarked about how they felt the presence of God at this conference," he said.

Barenboim explained in a statement on social media that he had made the decision as a result of his deteriorating health
After more than 30 years, Daniel Barenboim has resigned as General Music Director of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin.
He released a statement online explaining his decision:
"Unfortunately, my health has deteriorated significantly over the past year. I can no longer provide the level of performance that is rightly demanded of a general music director. Therefore, I ask for your understanding that I am giving up this position as of 31 January 2023. I ask the Senator for Culture to terminate the contract between us on that date.
"Since 1992 I have served as General Music Director of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin. The years have inspired us musically and personally in every respect. I believe that the Staatsoper and I have been very fortunate for each other. I am particularly happy and proud that the Staatskapelle has chosen me as its principal conductor for life. We have become a musical family over the years and will remain so. I hold all the members of the Staatskapelle in high esteem, even those who have since left. But I also express my admiration for the singers, the members of the chorus and all the other staff of the State Opera, especially my personal assistant Antje Werkmeister.
"I was particularly pleased that the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and the President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble accompanied me so wonderfully. I also thank the Senator for Culture Klaus Lederer, who stood by me even in difficult times.
"Of course, I will remain closely connected to music - as long as I live - and am prepared to continue to conduct in the future, also and especially the Staatskapelle Berlin."
Barenboim had previously announced back in October 2022 that he was taking a step back from performing due to health reasons, although he soon returned to the stage before the end of the year.

Undercovers (8 p.m., NBC and City)
Two stunningly attractive married spies (Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) come out of retirement to save the world. Spy boss Gerald McRaney (Deadwood, Jericho) puts them up to it. J.J. Abrams (Fringe, Lost) is behind it.
STARWEEK RATING: Saw clips of this at the City launch and though can't miss; it's Mr. and Mrs. Smith with better looking actors. Then watched the entire pilot and was bored to death. Fix it, J.J.!
Better with You (8:30 p.m., ABC)

AGRICULTURE STORY
The Society of Mumbai grows 90 kg of vegetables every month by making compost from waste.
By Mirza Shehnaz April 16, 2021 No Comments5 Mins Read
The 'Emgee Greens society' of Mumbai's Wadala area is slightly different from other societies. For the last two years, BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) vehicles do not come to the garbage in this society. Actually, people living in this society for two years are making organic manure from household waste only. According to an 'Environmental Status Report' (ESR) released by BMC, a total of 6,500 to 6,800 metric tonnes of waste was generated in Mumbai in 2019-2020. About 73 percent of this waste was food residue. Seeing this as a major problem, people living in the society are trying to make it become 'Zero Waste Society'.
Growing organic vegetables
There are about 131 families in the 'Emgee Greens society', whose houses generate about 60 kg of wet waste every day. People living here have been collecting the waste of the society in the rear of its building for two years. These people are converting waste into compost by following the 'aerobic manure method'. The work was started in an attempt to avoid giving the society waste at the city's dumpyard.
Local corporator Sufi Vanu has also confirmed these claims of the society. He explains that, "For two years, the municipality has not been collecting garbage here. That is why it is called 'Zero Garbage Society'. "

However, it was not long ago, when the people here began to look into this problem. Society secretary Ashwin Fernandes says, "There are 131 families in the society." However, we were happy with the effort to reduce our waste. But there was no one to buy the manure we were making. " So far, only one ton of manure has been generated from the waste generated daily.

However, some people living in the society used manure regularly. While Suhel Merchant used to grow flowers in his balcony, Sunil Deshpande used to grow other vegetables like spinach, fenugreek and coriander in his balcony.
Suhel, a business consultant by profession, says, "We came to know that some other people are also growing vegetables on the balcony. Then we thought about doing organic farming on the terrace. Thinking about turning waste into compost and then growing organic vegetables on the roof, was certainly a good idea. We sought permission from Ashwin, the secretary of the society and started the project about five months ago. "
He considered growing crops in an organic manner so that pesticides or pesticides are not used much.
Tomato plantation at the society
Today, people living in this society grow about 90 kg of crops in a month. Many other vegetables including spinach, fenugreek, brinjal, chilli, bitter gourd, cauliflower, coriander and tomato are being grown here. Sunil, Suhail and another resident of the society, Atharva Deshpande, spend more time on the terrace than other residents. Atharva, who is preparing for MBA, says, "Apart from us, many more people also help us in the needs of terrace farming. We organize a farming session every Sunday, where everyone from the society and their children attend organic farming workshops. "
Farm beds made from shelves lying idle
The people living here are not only using waste to grow organic vegetables, but are also recycling other waste items which are being used for farming. Many things have been used to make farm beds. Farm beds have been made by recycling old water bottles, buckets, washbasins, cupboards and beds in which vegetables are being grown. Suhail says, "We are trying to recycle everything so that expenses related to terrace farming can be reduced as well. We are recycling, reusing (redundancy) and reducing (reducing) things. "
This society spends 11 thousand rupees every month on organic terrace farming. Which includes the cost of a full time gardener.
Plant is grown in a discarded washbasin
He adds, "It takes eight days to make a new bed for any plant. We put mud on the beds and water it for four days. Then we add bionyl (which is also organic and used to increase soil fertility), water it in two days so that it becomes completely nutritious for any plant and then fertilizer is added to it is. We then add more soil to it. This process takes eight days. "
Terrace farming makes organic vegetables easily available to the people living in the society. By having terrace farming within the society, they have made it much easier during lockdown. Atharva says that the present-day farming on the terrace is currently not able to meet the needs of the people living in the society. He says, "Of course, we are not getting enough things that we can eat organic food every day." But, if we are getting it twice a week then it is enough. "
A farming bed made out of a discarded cupboard
For those living in the society, this was an early project. They also recommend terrace farming to other Mumbai-based societies. The society's Instagram page 'GreensPerSqFt' has many people learning roofing and gardening tricks. Atharva says, "The Corona epidemic has increased the dependence of metros on farms. This idea of using the same manure to fertilize waste and grow organic vegetables, will make societies more self-sufficient in the future. Just think that organic farming started happening everywhere! Wouldn't it be a healthier and happier life?

A Man sits among boxes of business records salvaged from a nearby grocery store. In the background, the owner of the Flying Elbow, Garrett Goodman, had hooked up a generator. He and his staff were cooking and serving hot dogs on the sidewalk.
Harold Cline arrives in downtown Marshalltown to look over the damage at his photo studio carrying his digital camera. The building next to his studio had collapsed.
The Casey's Store on the east side of Marshalltown suffered heavy damage in the storm. The home of Evelyn Reynolds, at right, fared much worse. The 123-year-old home lost its roof and parts of a wall. Reynolds, who was sitting in her living room when the house was hit, suffered some minor cuts.
A Marshalltown resident stops to watch a downtown business owner board up a broken window at his business. Downtown damage ranged from a few broken windows to buildings that looked they'd been hit by a bomb.
The kitchen in the home of Evelyn Reynolds sustained substantial damage when the tornado his her 123 year-old home. The Jesus statue on the stove top had been sitting on the back of the stove when it was hit. Her family members found a hard-boiled egg from the fridge in another room and a car seat had been blown into the pantry though a window.
A number of flags that had been flying from various spots in downtown Marshalltown were put back up by whatever means could be found. This one was propped in the corner of a concrete wall. The flying flags seemed a symbol of the community spirit to rise and repair.
Tom Miller, of Clive, stands on a pile of debris and fallen trees as he measures a window at the Marshall County Historic Museum so it can be boarded up. The building sustained damage but it appeared nothing inside was hurt.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds was surrounded by media and local officials in front of the Marshalltown Fire Department when she arrived to look at the damage and visit with local residents.
A living room set, including the stuff on the end table, sits almost in the same position it was before the tornado hit. After the storm, the row of apartments it had been inside was gone into the debris field behind it.
Ten days ago, an EF3 tornado cut a path through the heart of Marshalltown.
It took about five minutes to pass through town.
In its wake it left ruble from buildings that have been standing for well over a century.
Almost 800 buildings were destroyed, damaged or otherwise affected.
This story isn't about those buildings — they will be torn down and replaced or repaired.
It's not about the steeple on the Marshall County Courthouse that was blown off and ended up on the lawn.
It's not about the money it will cost to fix the damage.
It's about the people that emerged the day after to begin picking up the pieces, the souls in a daze who were trying to make some sense of what had happened, slowly realizing that "normal" was a long ways down the road.
Garrett Goodman is one of those people. He owns the Flying Elbow, a downtown restaurant that specializes in gourmet hot dogs. His place was hit and damaged; an Asian Grocery Store next to it lay collapsed into its own interior. There was no electricity. Still, Goodman found a generator somewhere and hooked up his electric hot dog roller roaster and an electric skillet and began cooking.
He would accept no money.
"It's just something I can do," he said.
A residential area northeast of downtown was hit hard.
There was a miracle there.
Evelyn Reynolds was sitting in a chair in her home when the tornado hit it. The entire roof, attic and ceiling of her 123-year-old home were gone. A hard-boiled egg from her refrigerator was found by family members looking for pictures in another room. A car seat had been blown through her pantry window.
The only unbroken windows in the house were in the room in which she was sitting.
Jacoby Banderas, 4, lives with his family in a home along Bromley Street. It looked like a war zone. Debris had filled the street. A path had been hurriedly cleared to allow access.
Banderas spent some time looking over the rubble pile. Among the debris was his toy police car, smashed, broken — well beyond any chance of repair.
He walked up and just stared at it.
Carlos Cervantes, 10, and his brother Alan Cervantes, 3, live just around the corner from Banderas. Their home had sustained substantial damage.
Their yard was piled with debris, tree branches, chunks of homes and broken utility lines.
The older of the pair was pushing his brother around in a toy wagon, steering around the rubble and debris, going up and down the small hillside in the front yard.
The younger sibling laughed and giggled.
Deputy Fire Chief Christopher Cross had his hands full.
Besides dealing with the tornado, Cross was also busy making sure that there was water and food available in a bay of the fire station for the many out-of-town workers and volunteers.
He also dealt with having his fire station being mobbed by out-of-town media and visiting elected officials.
He was a gentleman. A class act. A demonstration of the selfless service that's seen in firefighters, police officers and emergency medical workers.
Editor's note: Reporter/photographer Hans Madsen and reporter Chad Thompson spent July 20 in Marshalltown helping out the staff of The Marshalltown Times-Republican with its coverage of the July 19 tornado.
Madsen almost always carries a film camera with him in addition to the digital cameras he uses for photographs in the newspaper and online.
He uses black and white film processed in his home darkroom. For publication, the negatives are scanned electronically.

SL / Projects
Letná Park – former funicular area
Letná is a unique park area which plays an irreplaceable role in the system of Prague's parks. The corner which is the focus of the project design currently serves as a public park. The focal point is the area with the remains of what used to be the upper funicular station, with a fragment of old steel railings, a part of an old stone staircase and several retaining walls. The project aims to find a new use for this historic site and create a new point of interest in the Letná Park.
The project design for the area of the former upper funicular station involves creating a new scenic viewpoint and a reminder of the history of the funicular station. For the lookout itself, a stone field has been used to reinforce the slope, creating a step that visitors can use to sit on and enjoy the views. The materials have been selected in a way that makes it easy to distinguish between original, restored elements and new additions. The lookout is lighted using warm, ambient LED light.
The design also includes a long, linear steel element embedded in the terrain, showing important dates and facts from the history of the funicular.

Hot Shows to Book Tickets for in 2016
AuthorEmma ClarendonPosted on December 9, 2015 December 31, 2015 CategoriesMusicals, Theatre, UncategorizedTagsLondon Palladium, Noel Coward Theatre, Palace Theatre, Playhouse Theatre, Prince Edward Theatre
As we creep towards the end of the year, it is time to start thinking about shows that are causing a stir in the West End next year…
1.Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Palace Theatre – of course anything related to Harry Potter is bound to be a huge success, but when J.K. Rowling announced that it is technically the eighth story in the series, there is a huge stampede for tickets. Very little has been given away about the plot and no cast or creative team have been announced yet – but given that previews don't start until late May and doesn't officially open until July it isn't surprising. (ATG Tickets)
2. Mrs Henderson Presents, Noel Coward Theatre – after having a successful run at the Theatre Royal Bath, the production transfers to the West End in February 2016. The musical is based on the hit film starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins and is directed by Terry Johnson and features choreography by Andrew Wright. (Ticketmaster.co.uk, Discount Theatre.com, Last Minute.com, Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk)
3. The End of Longing, Playhouse Theatre – Star of hit comedy Friends, Matthew Perry is bringing his debut play to the West End next year from the 2nd of February to the 14th May. As well as writing it, Perry will also be starring in it, making it a double treat for fans.( Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk, Last Minute.com, Discount Theatre.com, Ticketmaster.co.uk, ATG Tickets)
4. Aladdin, Prince Edward Theatre – like Harry Potter, anything relating to Disney is bound to be popular in the West End if we judge by the success of The Lion King which has been in London since 1999, then Aladdin will certainly enjoy similar success. It looks set to be a family fun show. (Love Theatre.com, Ticketmaster.co.uk, Discount Theatre.com, Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk, Last Minute.com)
5. School of Rock, London Palladium – the show has just opened on Broadway but it has already been announced that it will be making its London debut in Autumn 2016. It features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and is based on the hit film starring Jack Black. More details about the London transfer have yet to be announced.

Summer is often a more daring time for clothing — for loud prints, short shorts, and unbuttoned buttons — and as fall approaches, many of us sheepishly tuck our collars back under our lapels. We look for other, milder ways to break us out of style defaults. For me, I almost universally wear light-colored woven shirts. White and blue oxfords, white-ground tattersalls, washed chambrays. If the default men's shirt and jacket is white shirt and navy blazer (or white tee and denim jacket), I don't vary a lot from that.
I broke out of that habit last year by talking myself into a darker dress shirt / lighter jacket combination — in this case a navy foulard print shirt and a fawn-colored corduroy jacket. Foulard has some campus style roots but this feels a little less tasteful (not in a bad way). I thought it worked well and looked fresher than expected. I've been keeping my eye out for similar looks done well and, to my surprise, found quite a few. Maybe it's not so surprising; dark knits under a jacket are common; a charcoal or navy turtleneck, for example, are far easier to pair than a white, buff, or even sky blue knit. And dark polos under jackets in the summer don't look out of place. But look at 100 images of exemplary menswear, in 95 of them the shirt will be lighter than the jacket.
Often but not always: lighter pants.
If your eye, like mine, is trained to avoid dark, saturated woven shirts (bad memories of 90s/2000s black or red dress shirts), an easy way to try it out is with a slightly darker denim shirt, which are pretty common these days (J. Crew makes one that's pretty casual, with contrast stitching, Sid Mashburn makes a good one). A navy oxford or broadcloth with otherwise straightforward styling (like a buttondown collar; Kamakura has one in their Vintage Ivy line) is versatile as well. Mixing in patterns, heavier fabrics (like corduroy), or even more casual details, like western or Wabash stripes, takes a little more chutzpah. There's some risk you might just look jumbled–flannel and workwear fabrics can contrast well with tailored jackets or look like an error.
For jackets, texture and pattern are welcome. Darker shirts match well with linen in the summer. Denim fabrics are a great match for heavy, fuzzy tweeds or corduroy. Smoothly finished cottons and wools tend to be less of a good match, in my opinion.
Another option is full tonal–similarly hued shirt, jacket, and trousers, often in neutrals like gray or olive. You'll find less of this in traditional mens tailoring and more of it from what might be called modern designers — Christophe Lemaire (including his ongoing Uniqlo line), Stephan Schneider, Robert Geller.

Environet develops eco-solution for Japanese knotweed waste
By Leah on	 November 13, 2019 Vegetable News
Japanese knotweed removal firm Environet UK has developed a method for converting waste from Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants into biochar, with the potential to eliminate the need for environmentally damaging and expensive landfill disposal in the future.
The creation of biochar, a charcoal used as a soil amendment, from Japanese knotweed plant waste is a carbon negative process which harnesses the carbon-scavenging power of Japanese knotweed in a positive way and contributes to the fight against climate change by locking carbon away for thousands of years.
Japanese knotweed now affects approximately 4 – 5% of residential properties in the UK, with vast swathes of the invasive plant also thriving along the UK's railway lines, waterways, verges, in parks and on public land. Excavation is growing in popularity as an alternative to the environmental hazards associated with traditional herbicide treatments, but the vast majority of plant waste currently ends up in landfill sites where it rots, producing damaging landfill gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
In search of a more sustainable solution, environmental scientist Nic Seal, founder and MD of Environet, began testing ways of converting knotweed rhizome, roots and canes into biochar by heating it in the absence of oxygen, otherwise known as pyrolysis. This process kills the plant and also removes the naturally occurring tars to leave carbon in the form of charcoal. The charcoal has a honeycomb-like structure which can be charged up with additives such as liquid organic fertiliser to make an excellent soil amendment.
Environet has recently filed a patent for the methods and apparatus used and has planned further research to improve the efficiency and scalability of the process.
Nic Seal, MD of Environet, commented: "Not only does biochar substantially improve soil structure, but more importantly, its carbon is locked-up in the soil for thousands of years. We wanted to harness the power of knotweed which, when it grows, is highly efficient at scavenging carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forming carbon-based plant material and releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere.
"Ultimately I believe all knotweed material could be converted from a biologically active pest into carbon gold. Not only would this save a considerable amount of money, particularly for clients in the commercial sector where often vast quantities of knotweed waste is sent to landfill, but there would also be a very clear positive benefit to the environment."

Q: Can't edit a document on first install of tex maker Just bought myself a new laptop today, a macbook pro.
I am in the middle of doing my masters dissertation so I download tex maker, plug in my usb and get editing what I already have. However for some reason when I add any content it just does not appear on my PDF. This is really confusing me and I guarantee it's something I am stupidly not doing that I should do on first install. Any advice?

A: On Windows, if you require a copy of a tex distribution here is one option.  Uninstall that version TeXmaker.  Go to http://miktex.org/.  Install the basic version of MikTex.
On OS-X (Mac Pro Book) install  MacTex.  This posting provides the details Installing LaTeX on Macbook Pro
Now reinstall TeXmaker.  It should now run.  You can test it with the following:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

After you save the above, Press F6 to compile and then F7 to display the pdf.


Four people were taken to hospital after an explosion at a horse show in North Yorkshire.
A propane cylinder exploded causing a burger van to catch fire at the Great Yorkshire Show at around 11.30am on 27th August.
When crews arrived, they extinguished the van fire and also cooled two more 19kg propane cylinders which were close to the fire.
A spokeswoman for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service said that four people were treated at the scene, and another four people were taken to a hospital in Harrogate with minor injuries.

Analysis, July 2021
The Savage We Need to Civilize is Within Us
by Oregon PeaceWorks • July 30, 2021 • 0 Comments
By Robert C. Koehler
We crossed the Atlantic, encountered a bunch of savages, defeated them, claimed the continent. We won! This is the history I remember learning, as satisfying and stupid as a John Wayne movie.
The myth is crumbling and cracking, its certainty now as precarious as the statue of a Confederate general. Truth flows in through the holes, e.g.:
By the late 1830s, most of the native residents had been "removed" from a big chunk of the South — a few million acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida — so white men could start growing cotton there. In 1838, a final group of stubborn Cherokees were deported to Oklahoma Territory, as President Martin Van Buren sent 7,000 soldiers to do the job.
The soldiers, according to history.com, "forced the Cherokee into stockades at bayonet point while his men looted their homes and belongings. Then, they marched the Indians more than 1,200 miles to Indian Territory. Whooping cough, typhus, dysentery, cholera and starvation were epidemic along the way, and historians estimate that more than 5,000 Cherokee died as a result of the journey."
And that was just the final installment of the Trail of Tears, which forced some 125,000 Native Americans — Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee — out of their birth lands. And the Trail of Tears was just a small part of white America's history of conquest and arrogance as it claimed the continent.
Indeed, the U.S. government authorized "over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians, the most of any country in the world against its Indigenous people," history.com tells us, noting that, by the end of the 19th century, there were less than a quarter million indigenous people left on the continent, compared to an estimated 5 to 15 million of them in 1492.
Apparently, this is what "victory" looks like, at least the small, dead kind of victory that is based on moral ignorance, which is to say, on dehumanization: the necessary precursor to war.
How is it that humanity has managed to advance in so many ways yet still clutch to its core the right to dehumanize part of itself, whenever it chooses? Why do we find it simpler to remain prepared to kill a declared enemy rather than to reach for ways to understand that enemy and, in so doing, evolve? Perhaps evolution — moving beyond our settled certainties, entering the unknown — is simply too scary to face.
And war isn't always waged with guns and bullets.
"In the century and a half that the U.S. government ran boarding schools for Native Americans," Rukmini Callimachi writes in the New York Times, "hundreds of thousands of children were housed and educated in a network of institutions, created to 'civilize the savage.' By the 1920s, one group estimates, nearly 83 percent of Native American school-age children were attending such schools."
The war being waged by boarding schools was a war on culture. Children were robbed of their language, of their cultural context, which are crimes I can hardly imagine enduring. Who they were was beaten out of them. They were beaten, so one woman remembers, with brooms and mops, with belts, hangers, shoes, branches, sticks, wire.
But the beatings were only stage one. One boarding school "graduate" — or rather, escapee — told Callimachi that the cruelest thing he experienced was not the routine beatings. His grandfather had taught him how to carve a flute out of the branch of a cedar tree. He brought the flute he had carved to the school . . . uh oh, big mistake! His teacher "smashed it and threw it in the trash."
This was not simply the confiscation of a toy. The theft pierced the boy's soul: The teacher had stolen his music from him. Callimachi writes: "'That's what God is. God speaks through air,' he said, of the music his grandfather taught him."
What magnifies the cruelty of this moment almost beyond comprehension is that this wasn't an individual act of mean-spiritedness. This was national policy! The boy's flute was simply an object of savagery and the purpose of the boarding school was to civilize him: "Kill the Indian in him and save the man."
And this is the history that needs to be taught, but not, I would add, merely in a good-guy/bad-guy context. The collective human consciousness needs to open, as we dig collectively to grasp: why? Why did white Europeans then — and why do whoever we are now — devote so much of our energy and resources to destroying what we don't understand? Why do we honor — and fund — our impulse to hate?
Once again, I ask these questions not in regard to individual, but rather collective — governmental — behavior. I fear that as we unite, we diminish our ability to respect, and understand, the complexity of the universe, and of our fellow humans. We unite around simplistic certainties, and these certainties seem always to involve an enemy, or Other. And empowerment means being able to kill, rather than understand, embrace and learn from — or hear the music of — that Other.
This is history's primary lesson: The savage we need to civilize, continually, is within ourselves.

By recognizing these communities, we honor their legacies, their lives, and their descendants.

It Actually Just Rained Money in This City
By Cady Lang / Time.com and Time.com
This story originally appeared on Time.com.
Pedestrians in downtown Indianapolis experienced an unexpected windfall on Tuesday morning when dollar bills began falling on them, seemingly from the sky.
According to Fox 59, bills already littered the sidewalk and street, but the cash continued to float down. A witness later called police and directed them towards the rooftop of a 10-story building where money could be seen flying off the roof. Police later reported that there were a couple hundred $1 bills on the roof, as well as five partial money wrappers with the words "Federal Reserve Bank," four of which were dated Dec. 29 and one of which was dated Jan. 20.
A Qdoba restaurant, located on the ground floor of the building, had reported a robbery on the night of Jan. 20; however, it's not known whether or not the robbery can be connected to the cash found on the building's roof.

My Girl: 4 Reasons Why This Thai Adaptation Is Thai-riffic For You
We all love our Malaysian delicacies, but as delicious as our food may be, our neighbouring countries also have mouthwatering offerings that keeps us coming back for more. Other than savouring their Tom Yam soup or Thai Green curry, what else is just as good from Thailand? Their dramas of course! Thailand dramas (or known as Lakorns) have garnered a large fanbase because of their amazing cast and their romantic drama scenes.
Thailand's adaptations of Korean dramas, such as "My Coffee Prince" and "Playful Kiss", have been a success and now we have another Korean series from 2005, "My Girl", that has been adapted to a local Thailand series starring Esther Supreeleela and Pae Arak Armonsupasiri.
Here are a few reasons why you should binge watch the Thai adaptation of "My Girl" this weekend:
1. Similar storyline but with a Thai twist
Just like the Korean show, the storyline for "My Girl" doesn't stray too far from the original but it will be tailored to cater to the Thai audience. The story begins with Purith (a hotel heir) who searches for his long-lost cousin until he meets Linin. He asks her to be his grandfather's granddaughter and in return she would be paid monthly as Linin needs to support her own father due to their family's financial struggles. As Linin continues to pretend to be Purith's cousin while living under the same roof, they slowly fall in love with each other until Linin's act keeps their relationship from flourishing.
What sets this Thai remake apart from the original show is the use of local talent that the audience can relate to through the shared culture and humour.
Thai production house, Halo Productions, who are popular for adapting Korean shows such as "Autumn in My Heart" (2011), "Full House" (2012) and "Princess Hours" (2017), are the ones behind the adaptation of "My Girl".
2. Esther Supreeleela as the naive Lilin
Rejoice! The show's lead actress is one of the most popular actresses loved by Thai Lakorn fans, Esther Supreeleela. Fun fact: Esther has a mix of Thai and Malaysian heritage. That explains her remarkable beauty!
She's not just a pretty face, but also a talented actress as she's acted in several popular romantic shows such as "Ugly Duckling" (2015), "U Prince" (2016), "You're My Destiny" (2017) and "My Dear Loser" (2017).
In "My Girl", Esther would be starring as Linin, a naive and innocent girl who takes up the role as someone else's granddaughter, which is more than she bargained for, just to support her own family's financial struggles.
Her various acting roles in other Thai Lakorns have made her the right fit for Lilin's character, but her new role will surprise her fans who are familiar with her work. Her on-screen teasing of Pae would make you laugh out loud!
3. Pae Arak Amornsupasiri as charming Purith
Pae? More like 'bae'! Dreamy looking Pae is not just a good guitarist in the music scene but also is an impressive actor. Having previously starred in leading roles such as "I See You" (2016) and "Bangkok Rak Stories" (2017), many Thai Lakorn fans have come to adore his charming personality and his dashing good looks.
He leads the show alongside Esther as Purith, the rich hotel heir that comes with high expectations from his family members to fulfill his role and trying to forget about his ex-lover until he unexpectedly stumbles upon Lilin.
From his witty one-liners to his romantic gestures, his role as Purith will sweep you off your feet. For romantic Lakorn fans – you'll wish that Purith picked you to be his cousin instead.
4. A great mix of romance and comedy in this show
Sometimes too much romance in a romantic drama can make one cringe but sometimes a comedy show is unable to make your heart flutter. "My Girl" has a great mix of both, and the chemistry and comebacks from Purith and Lilin would make you ship their relationship as well as burst out in laughter.
This show consists of plenty of hilarious scenes like an amusing but awkward "cousin" romance, a complicated love triangle between Purith's cousin and ex-lover as well as a family drama argument with Aunt So. There's always something different to keep you on the edge of your seats!

I stand by my Moxie Rx recipe from my last post. It is delicious, and I truly believe it helped me fight (and win) against my latest cold threat. If you missed it, check out my last post. For real. Read it!
Just today, 3 different patients, not reading my blog or knowing about this wonder tea, asked about the safety of using one, or a combination of many, of the ingredients in the tea. That's not surprising – honey, lemon, and ginger have long been used as cold remedies.
I am not pregnant, so I drink this mixture without a second thought. You may be pregnant though, thinking about everything you put in your body.
Honey is considered a demulcent – a product that coats mucous membranes with a film to relieve mouth and throat irritation. Make sure your honey is pasteurized (if you're buying honey at a farmer's market, ask the seller). Like I've said before, unpasteurized anything (milk, cheese, honey) should be avoided during pregnancy to reduce the risk of infection.
Lemon in moderation is good in pregnancy. Vitamin C can increase the absorbency of iron supplements, which most women take during pregnancy to avoid / correct anemia. Lemon scent can also help decrease nausea. Citrus may exacerbate heart burn though, so avoid if you have severe gastric reflux.
Ginger is often used in the first trimester to decrease nausea and vomiting (ginger lollipops, anyone?). No adverse outcomes have been reported.
Cayenne pepper: In the small amount used for the drink, it is likely safe. Spicy foods, similar to citrus, can exacerbate heart burn. Women have long believed in the aid of super spicy foods to provoke labor. Although it hasn't been proven to work, it is an interesting topic, and we can discuss this more later.
Echinacea is the wild card here. It is an herbal medication obtained from the roots, stems, and leaves of the plant Echinacea purpurea. It is used in attempts to stimulate the immune system, to prevent colds and respiratory infections, although studies have never shown great effect. One published study has looked at its safety in pregnancy, and no adverse effects were seen. Like most herbal medications, it is not FDA regulated, so no safety or preparation standards are verified prior to distribution. This means: although echinacea is likely safe to use during pregnancy, because the product's quality cannot be assured, and the potential benefits are limited, it isn't recommended as first line cold remedy in pregnancy.
Now you don't have to wonder any more!
And to end: a beautiful Margaret Bedell painting, with ginger and all!


Three and TalkTalk have sent an open letter to Ofcom in which they argue the watchdog should limit the amount of spectrum any one mobile operator can own.
In an effort to urge Ofcom to limit the amount of spectrum any one mobile operator can own, Three and TalkTalk have sent an open letter to the watchdog.
Three had previously hinted that it would take action to prevent mobile operators, namely BT, from gaining an unfair advantage over its competitors. Now the firm has decided to join together with TalkTalk, CityFibre, Relish and the Federation of Communication Services to convince Ofcom to implement a cap as to how much of the spectrum individual mobile operators can gain in the upcoming auction in 2017.
Next year the auctions will take place with the 190MHZ spectrum, which was previously owned by the Ministry of Defence, being made available to mobile operators. In the 2013 auctions, over £2 billion was earned by carriers trying to gain more spectrum for their networks.


The Salvation Army of Midland wants to make sure members of the community know the ways fundraising is conducted, in light of a scam that was uncovered Sunday.
Capt. Brian Goodwill said a call was received from a friend of a former employee on Sunday afternoon.
"A couple of young ladies were going door to door in her neighborhood collecting for the church or the store," he said, adding this concerned the caller. He pointed out a couple of red flags, including that the church and store are one in the same, and the Salvation Army respects Sunday as a day of rest — not even bell ringers are out on Sundays.
"That wasn't authorized by the Salvation Army," Goodwill said of the neighborhood collections. A media release from the Salvation Army states the collection was a scam, and that Midland Police were contacted. Goodwill said he is not aware of anyone giving to the collection.
As an additional precaution, emails have been sent out to inform people of the scam, and information has been posted on the organization's Facebook page.
"If anyone is approached, or has been approached, it is always safe to give us a call," Goodwill said. He added all the fundraising is done by mail and email solicitations, and of course through the kettle drive.


Andy Murray and Amelie Mauresmo announced on Monday that they have ended their two year coaching relationship. During the partnership between the Scot World No. 3 and the Frenchwoman since June 2014, Murray has won seven titles - including his first two on clay.
"Working with Andy over the last two years has been a fantastic experience for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the great team of people he has around him. Dedicating enough time along with the travel has been a challenge for me. I wish him and team well and I hope he goes on to win many more titles," said Mauresmo in her Facebook account. She gave birth to her first child in August 2015.
Murray said: "I've learned a lot from Amelie over the last two years, both on and off the court. She's been a calming influence in the team and we will all miss having her around. I'll take some time to consider the next steps and how we progress from here, but I'd like to thank her for everything she has done, she's been an invaluable member of the team."

SIDELIGHTS:
Ron Soodalter is the author of Hanging Captain Gordon: The Life and Trial of an American Slave Trader. Soodalter first became interested in the tale of Nathaniel Gordon as a college student in the 1960s. "Diving into the primary sources had all the aspects of a treasure hunt," the author remarked in an interview on his Web site. "At the outset, all I really knew was that President [Abraham] Lincoln had resisted considerable political pressure, and allowed a young sea captain to hang for slave trading." It would take Soodalter almost four decades to complete his history, during which he worked as a museum curator, taught at Riker's Island Prison, and collected traditional folk ballads. "When I finally sat down to write the Gordon story, it was with the accumulated information—and perspective—gleaned and gathered through these various pursuits," the author wrote on his Web site.
In Hanging Captain Gordon, Soodalter details the trial of Gordon, a thirty-four-year-old sea captain whose ship, carrying a cargo of African slaves, was seized by federal authorities in 1860, beginning a complex legal process that ended in Gordon's execution two years later. The author's "fascinating and disturbing account of this obscure episode in our history is a story replete with political intrigue," observed Booklist reviewer Jay Freeman. Boston Globe critic Chuck Leddy remarked: "Soodalter does a fine job explaining just how unusual Gordon's prosecution was. The captain was in the wrong place at the wrong time when he got caught, but nobody involved thought he would be convicted or executed. Soodalter details forty years of lax enforcement, outright bribery, and judicial nullification of the 1820 slave-trade law." Though Soodalter remarked that he initially sympathized with Gordon, "a loving husband and father," he reversed his attitude toward Gordon with time and perspective. "The true tragedy lies in our government's unforgivably lax approach to enforcing the slave trade laws, in its refusal to cooperate with Great Britain when cooperation would have meant ending the slave traffic decades earlier, and in letting men like Gordon evade punishment as a matter of policy," he stated.

Bank Windhoek now offers quick finger prick Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening tests at their Human Capital Department in Windhoek.
A statement availed to Nampa on Monday said since early-stage prostate cancer has no symptoms or signs, it is usually detected through a PSA test.
The screening, which offers instant results, is aimed at saving the lives of male employees since signs of the disease usually only present themselves at an advance stage of the prostate cancer.
Bank Windhoek's Corporate Wellness Consultant, Marjolize Scholtz, said that if the test indicates that prostate cancer may be present, more monitoring and testing will be done via their doctor to diagnose prostate cancer of any other underlying cause.
"Prostate cancer is on the increase in Namibia and it is of great concern that most of the cases are only being diagnosed at a later stage of the cancer. Knowledge is key and can change the lives of men drastically," Scholtz said.
Bank Windhoek encouraged its male employees to visit the clinic for prostate cancer screenings and that they should consider monthly testicular self-examinations and annual medical check-ups.
The statement further said that men with advanced prostate cancer may present the following symptoms; frequent urination, weak or interrupted urine flow or the need to empty the bladder, the urge to urinate frequently at night and blood in the urine and seminal fluid.

2020 Ford Expedition - Driven
Cars Reviews Ford Ford Expedition Driven Reviews 2020 Suv Fullsize cars Opinion
Taking the Chevy Tahoe Head-On While Still Remaining Humble
by Philippe Daix, on October 12, 2020, 22:00
In a world where large SUVs are becoming the norm, there's no shortage of models to choose from. Having recently driven the Nissan Armada and knowing that the Ford Expedition is now two years old as of 2020, we figured it was time to see if Ford's resident large SUV can hold its own in a highly competitive, constantly evolving segment. After spending a week with the Expedition Platinum, we discovered a lot that we liked and a few things we didn't – this is our experience and what you need to know.
Ford's SEMA-Bound SUV Lineup Will Feature Portable Fridges, Camping Tents, and Video Cameras
Ford Renews The 'Excursion' Trademark
fullsize cars
If you're looking for sporty handling characteristics, extreme performance, or hardcore off-road capability, then you'll want to look away from the Ford Expedition.
That's not where this tank of an SUV shines, but where it does shine is hauling cargo, towing heavy loads, and keeping a large family or small sports team comfortable even on long hauls. The front seats are impressively comfortable and, while the rear seats don't exhibit the same level of comfort, they aren't bad. Ford has even managed to make entering the third row beyond easy, even for adults.
The Expedition's 3.5-liter V-6, while seemingly small for a vehicle this size, is peppy enough for normal driving duties and still manages to attain decent fuel economy. We were even able to exceed the EPA's rating of 18 mpg combined with a surprising 19.8 mpg over the course of roughly 100 miles of mixed driving. There are some downsides, though, as we found the brake pedal to bit a bit on the soft side, which does cutaway on the confidence factor a bit, as does the heavy and slow steering. It's a great vehicle on the highway and back roads, but its size and steering make it very cumbersome to drive on narrow roads or when negotiating small parking lots.
Tech seems to be about what you'd expect, and the infotainment system is easy to navigate and understand. The sound system is ample for a vehicle this size, which is a good thing given how noisy the cabin can get on the highway. It's not horrible, but a fair amount of road noise does bleed into the cabin. If you can spring for premium fuel (remember this thing has 25-gallon tank), you'll get the engines full power output.
In short, driving the Expedition was – for the most part – enjoyable, but it's not without its faults, and Ford still has some room for improvement.
Ford Expedition Powertrain and Performance
Strong V-6 Engine
Better Towing than the Competition
Decent Acceleration
Maximum Power Output Requires Premium Fuel
10 Speed Automatic Transmission
Up to 24 MPG on the Highway
How Much Power Does the Ford Expedition Have?
Power output for the Ford Expedition starts out at 375 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, while the range-topping Platinum trim delivers a cool 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the Expedition's main competitors – the Chevy Tahoe and Nissan Armada – both lug around larger, V-8 engines, but fall short when compared to the Platinum trim. The Tahoe will net you 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque while the Armada delivers a comparable 390 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque.
How Much Can the Ford Expedition Tow?
The Ford Expedition, when properly equipped, is capable of towing as much as 9,200 pounds – a figure that bests most of the competition. The V-8 powered Chevy Tahoe and Nissan Armada fall inferior in this regard, offering up just 8,100 pounds and 8,500-pound maximum towing capacity, respectively.
What Kind of Fuel Economy Does the Ford Expedition Get?
The Ford Expedition, in platinum trim, is rated at 16 mpg in the city, 21 mpg on the highway, and 18 mpg combined. Models with 375 horsepower garner slightly better fuel economy, but the difference is negligible. In comparison, the Expedition bests both the Tahoe and Armada in fuel economy, with exception of the Tahoe with RWD, which beats out the Expedition's highway rating by one mpg.
How Does the Ford Expedition Drive?
The Expedition drives like a tank, with exception of the ability to turn 360 degrees in place.
Due to its large size, the Expedition isn't exactly quick on its feet, but it's not necessarily slow for its size, either. Despite being one of the few models this size with a V-6, the 3.5-liter does feel like a powerhouse, but you'll lose a lot of confidence thanks to the soft-brake pedal and tires, the latter of which seems to suffer from low grip in a lot of scenarios. You shouldn't expect to take the Expedition – despite its name – too far off road, as the long wheelbase and even longer body are quite limiting, leaving your excursions to gravel trails and the mildest of overlanding.
Ford Expedition Interior Design
The biggest highlight of the Ford Expedition (outside of stellar towing capability) is the ample interior space.
Even with three rows of seating for 8 passengers, you'll find that all passengers have ample room, with the third row easily accessible with even full-size adults entering and exiting the rearmost row with ease. That's were most of the niceties end, though, as the center console is very button-heavy and we found ourselves constant hunting for the proper button – something that can be quite distracting while on the road.
With that said, all seats in the Expedition are fairly comfortable to sit in, with front passengers enjoying a bit more comfort. We found that holding conversation at lower speeds – even with those sitting way in the back – was simple, but at speed all that glass lets road noise seep in and communication starts to diminish. The climate control system is powerful, though, and does keep everyone comfortable, so it has that going for it.

Does the Ford Expedition Have a Good Infotainment System?
If you've heard previous stories of Ford's Sync infotainment system, we can't blame you for being weary of buying another Ford. However, the Sync system has come a very long way, and the system in the Expedition isn't that bad. Navigation does look a bit early-2000s but the pinch-to-zoom function works as good as that of Google Maps, and the menu system is relatively easy to navigate. You should definitely opt for the Bang and Olufsen 12-speaker audio system, though, as it is lightyears ahead of the base system, providing great sound throughout the cabin, even in the rear.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay work as well as you'd expect, and thanks to the built-in 360-degree camera, you won't have much of an issue backing up this overly long tank of an SUV.
How Much Cargo Room Does the Ford Expedition Have?
If you happen to carry around a lot of cargo on a regular basis, the Ford Expedition will probably offer more than enough room with 19.3 cubic-feet behind the third row. If you lay down the third row, you'll get 63.6 cubic-feet of cargo area, and if you lay down the second row, total capacity comes in at 104.6 cubic-feet. These figures put Expedition right in the middle of the competition, beating out the Armada but falling inferior to the Chevy Tahoe.
Ford Expedition Exterior Design
The Ford Expedition is clearly the Explorer's bigger brother. Comparing the two, you'll notice that the Expedition is a bit boxier, and it feels like it's miles long, regardless of what angle you're looking at it from. The large grille and its integration into the headlights make the Expedition seem wider than it is, while the design of the air dam gives it a sportier look. If I had to summarize the front end appearance, I'd say it's a perfect blend between the Ford Explorer and F-150. Both the side profile and rear end are rather uneventful in terms of design, but that's part of what makes the Expedition stand out in the crowd – it's simple but functional, and doesn't try to be something it's not. It's not pretty, but it's not ugly, either.
How Big Is the Ford Expedition?
The Ford Expedition is downright huge, measuring 210 inches long, 79.9 inches wide, and 76.4 inches tall. It also rides on a 122.5 inch wheelbase. Compared to the Chevy Tahoe and Armada, the Expedition is definitely the longest and tallest, but the Tahoe is just a hair wider. In terms of garaging, well, you're going to need a big garage. The Expedition won't fit inside a standard one-car garage, and unless it's extremely deep, you'll find that it's a very tight fit even in most two-car garages. The most important factor to consider is depth, in which you'll need at least 220 inches of garage depth, and even that makes it very tight to pass.
Is The Ford Expedition Good For Off-Roading?
The Ford Expedition can handle some off-road trails and mild overlanding, but it's far from being a rock crawler or hardcore off-roader. It does have an approach angle of 23.3 degrees and a departure angle of 21.9 degrees, but because of it's massive length (and wheelbase) any type of rock crawling or extreme off-roading is generally met with extreme resistance.
The Expedition does boast 9.8 inches of ground clearance, though, so you will probably find that it's a little more capable than the Tahoe at 7.9 inches or the Armada at 9.1 inches.
Ford Expedition Pricing
The Ford Expedition isn't a cheap vehicle by any means, but it starts out at a reasonable price for a vehicle its size. The Entry-Level regular model comes in at $52,810 while the MAX (the extended model) comes in with an MSRP of $55,835. The range-topping Platinum trim, like our tester comes in at $76,965 – just a bit above the King Range at $75,590. The Limited trim, which is fairly well equipped above the base model, commands $66,395.
Ford Expedition Competition
Given the nature of the automotive industry today, it's not surprising that almost every automaker out there has a competitor for large SUVs like the Ford Expedition. For the sake of comparison, though, we're focusing on the Expeditions most prominent American competitor and the Nissan Armada, a vehicle we've recently driven.
Is the Ford Expedition Better Than the Chevy Tahoe?
On the offset, you might think that the Chevy Tahoe is more capable and, overall, a better vehicle than the Ford Expedition. After all, the Tahoe does boast a 5.3-liter V-8 compared to the Expedition's 3.5-liter V-6. Be that as it may, the Tahoe is actually underpowered in comparison, pushing out just 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It's also somewhat limited in the transmission department, where you'll find no more than six forward gears. Like the Expedition, the Tahoe can be had in a RWD configuration or 4WD configuration, both of which are on par in terms of fuel economy.
In the same way that the Expedition shares a lot of design cues with the Ford F-150, the Tahoe shares a lot of its design with the Silverado pickup. What really makes the Tahoe standout, however, is its impressive cargo capacity, which tops both the Expedition and the Armada with a range between 25.5 cubic-feet and as much as 122.9 cubic-feet with all rear seats folded down. If you're someone who carries a lot of cargo, the Tahoe could very well be your best option. On the flip side, the Tahoe has a max towing capacity of 8,100 pounds, 1,100 pounds less than what you can pull with the Expedition. The Tahoe Starts out at $49,000 in base form, but can easily match the Expedition's range-topping price of nearly $77,000.

Is the Ford Expedition Better Than the Nissan Armada?
The current Nissan Armada is a bit older than the Expedition and the Tahoe, with this generation being introduced in 2017. And, while it's still not that old, it still suffers from a somewhat dated interior design (we're talking early 2000s here), and its 5.6-liter V-8 is rather thirsty in comparison to the competition. On a good day, you'll get 390 horsepower, which is more than the Tahoe offers and only 10 horsepower shy of the Expedition in range-topping form, but its 394 pound-feet of torque is one of its weaker notes. Because of this aged, V-8, don't expected to get more than 13 or 14 mpg in the city or more than 16 mpg combined, figures that but it much lower than the models it competes against. It is capable of hauling 8,500 pounds, which does put it a big ahead of the Tahoe, but still short of the Expedition.
On top of this, the Armada, despite its matched ability to carry 8 passengers, falls embarrassingly short in terms of cargo room. These figures might not matter to someone who doesn't carry mass amounts of cargo, but with a minimum capability of just 16.5 cubic-feet and only 95.4 cubic-feet with all the rear seats laid down, the Armada is inferior to both the Expedition and the Tahoe. If you do carry a lot of cargo, you should probably look to either competitor as they'll suit your needs better. Pricing for the Armada starts out at $47,500 but climbs to as high as $68,430 for the range-topping Platinum Reserve trim with 4WD.

Overall, the Expedition is a good family hauler, and it's even a good alternative for soccer moms that don't want to drive a minivan between events. Seating all the way around is comfortable, the technology is on point in most cases (Sync has been improved drastically over the last few years), and the exterior design is fresh enough that it doesn't look like you're balling on a budget. Towing capability and fuel economy are the biggest highlights, as is the generous passenger space in both rear rows.
