How to fix your Samsung Galaxy Note FE with Black Screen of Death (easy steps)
Last Updated on: December 27, 2020 by Harold
Some of the owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note FE have been complaining about their phones that no longer turns on or responds. Many reported that such problem is characterized by a black and unresponsive screen. It's the Black Screen of Death and while it's not really that common, it may happen to you every now and then and it is due to several factors. The problem isn't exclusive to the Note FE. In fact, many S8, S9 and Note 8 owners have already reported this exact problem.
The black screen of death issue may actually seem like a very serious hardware issue or, at least, that's what owners would think if they found out their device no longer responds, won't turn on and has a black screen. We have encountered this problem a lot of times in the past so we already know a thing or two that could help you fix this issue. So, if you're one of the owners of this device and has this problem, then continue reading as this post may be able to help you one way or another.
Before we move on to our troubleshooting, if you are looking for a solution to a different issue, make sure you drop by our troubleshooting page as we've already addressed some of the most common problems reported by our readers. Find issues that are similar with yours and use the solutions we suggested. If you still need our help after that, then feel free to contact us by filling up our Android issues questionnaire.
How to fix Galaxy Note FE with Black Screen of Death (BSoD)
This issue may seem like a very serious hardware issue but in reality, it's just a minor firmware problem. Well, at least, that's always been the case with the issues reported by our readers. Don't worry, you can fix it on your own without having to visit a shop or a tech. That said, here's what I suggest you do about it:
First solution: Forced reboot
This is the most effective solution to this problem and it may be the only thing you need to do to get your phone working perfectly again. The black screen of death may occur when the firmware crashes. In other words, it's just a system crash and it would occur if there are too many apps running in the background taking up your phone's RAM and CPU. To make it respond, here's the simple way to do it:
Press and hold the volume down button and the power key for 10 seconds or more.
The forced restart will refresh your phone's memory by reloading all apps, services and core functions. I understand that your phone won't respond if you try to reboot it normally but it will respond to this procedure because it's hard-wired to respond to it. It's the counterpart of the battery pull we often do to devices with removable batteries. If your Note FE won't respond to this procedure, however, then try doing this instead:
Press and hold the volume down button first and don't let go.
Press and hold the power key while holding down the volume down button.
Keep both keys held down together for 10 seconds or more.
If this is just a firmware crash, then your device should already be booting up by now but if it's still not responding, then move on to the next solution.

What to do if your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 freezes, lags, slows down and turns off unexpectedly
Second solution: Charge and do the Forced reboot
When the battery is too low, some services and functions are stopped by the system to give way to apps that are used by the user. And when the juice runs out, there could be some services and hardware components that aren't properly shut down. As a result, a drained battery may also cause the firmware to crash. Sure, you can make your phone respond with the Forced Reboot but if there's not enough battery left to power up the phone, then you still have an unresponsive phone. Here's what you need to do about it:
Plug the charger to the AC outlet. Make sure the outlet you're using is working.
Using the original cable, connect the phone to the charger.
Regardless whether the phone shows it's charging or not, leave it connected to its charger for ten minutes.
Now, press and hold the volume down button and the power key at the same time for 10 seconds or more but this time while the device is connected to its charger.
If the problem isn't with the hardware, your phone should be working properly now. However, after doing these things and your Note FE continues to be unresponsive, then it's time to bring the device to the service center.

CRITIC REVIEWS:
"Léon Escalaïs is the prototypical French heroic tenor, a French Tamagno with penetrating power, flawless registration, and pealing high notes, all produced with little apparent effort…his voice was undoubtedly the most voluminous in his category…."
- Gary A.Galo, ARSC Journal, Vol. 41, #1 , Spring 2010
"For the collector, his are some of the most exciting of tenor records left to posterity….Little surprise then that, a century after he made many of his recordings, Escalaïs remains one of the most sought after of all collectors' singers."
- Larry Lustig, THE RECORD COLLECTOR, 2004
"Escalaïs' Paris Opéra début was in GUILLAUME TELL (Arnold) on 12 October 1883, just three months after graduating from the Conservatory, where he had won first prize in song and second prize in opera. Also in 1883 at the Paris Opéra, he sang Eléazar in LA JUIVE, and in 1884 he sang the title role in ROBERT LE DIABLE (opposite his soon-to be-wife and fellow-Conservatory graduate, Marie-Antoinette Lureau, who sang Alice), and Raoul in LES HUGUENOTS. Escalaïs made his La Scala début in LA JUIVE (Eléazar) on 31 January 1881 to poor reviews; created the role of Lusignan in Paul Vérange's ZAÏRE (28 May 1890, Paris Opéra); and also at the Paris Opéra on 16 March 1891, he sang in Massenet's LE MAGE (Zarastra.) After 1892, he left the Paris Opéra following a falling out with the management. He then sang at a number of the major French provincial houses, Marseilles being chief among them. He made an important début at the Teatro de São Carlos in December 1905, again singing Eléazar in LA JUIVE. He returned to the Paris Opéra during the 1907–1908 season, where he sang in GUILLAUME TELL (Arnold) and in AÏDA (Radames.) For the 1909–1910 season, Escalaïs performed numerous roles at the French Opera House at New Orleans to ecstatic acclaim; this marked the opera house's 50th anniversary as well as his own. He was a well-liked figure in the opera world whose voice will be remembered for its trumpet-like brilliance. His stunning high notes are unique on records. He recorded exclusively for Fonotipia."

Manafort transferred to NY federal prison ahead of state trial, after Rikers Island move nixed
By Brooke Singman, Jake Gibson | Fox News
Why did Paul Manafort waive the right to appeal his sentence?
Former Department of Justice prosecutor James Trusty says it is not uncommon in plea agreements for the defendant to waive their right to appeal a sentence.
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was transferred to a federal prison in New York City late Monday ahead of his pending state court trial -- but only after the Justice Department rejected a local district attorney's reported bid to move him to the notorious Rikers Island prison complex.
Manafort was instead transferred to the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), a federal detention facility located in Manhattan.
PAUL MANAFORT NOT GOING TO RIKERS ISLAND, WILL REMAIN IN FEDERAL CUSTODY AFTER DOJ REJECTS MOVE
MCC houses many inmates awaiting trial or sentencing. Among the current inmates are terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov, who allegedly ran down pedestrians with a truck in New York on Oct. 31, 2017, and Cesar Sayoc, the man who allegedly sent package bombs to prominent Democrats. Joaquin Guzman, the notorious drug lord known as "El Chapo," is reportedly being held at the facility.
Manafort's transfer came after Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen rejected Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr.'s attempt to re-locate Manafort to Rikers Island.
A senior Justice Department official told Fox News that Manafort's attorneys contacted the Bureau of Prisons and "raised concerns about his transfer to state custody related to his health and personal safety."
"Mr. Manafort's attorneys proposed that he remain in federal custody and be made available to the state when necessary," the official told Fox News. "In light of New York's position, and Mr. Manafort's unique health and safety needs, The Department determined to err in the side of caution by keeping Mr. Manafort in federal custody during the pendency of the state proceedings."
The official added that Manafort "will be made available to the state whenever needed for his state case," and that the "arrangement" would not have "any impact" on the state proceedings.
According to the Bureau of Prisons, Manafort's release date is set for Dec. 25, 2024.
In the state case, Manafort was indicted in New York in March on a raft of charges, including residential mortgage fraud, conspiracy, and other counts that allege that Manafort and others falsified business records to illegally obtain millions of dollars. If convicted of all charges, Manafort could face up to 25 years in prison.
"No one is beyond the law in New York," Vance said in a statement in March. "Following an investigation commenced by our office in March 2017, a Manhattan grand jury has charged Mr. Manafort with state criminal violations which strike at the heart of New York's sovereign interests, including the integrity of our residential mortgage market."
MANAFORT INDICTED IN NEW YORK CITY ON MORTGAGE FRAUD, OTHER STATE CHARGES
Fox News first reported this month that a New York State judge ordered Manafort's transfer to Rikers Island at Vance's request. However, because Manafort has been convicted on federal charges, any attempt to move him out of federal custody must be approved by Rosen. On Monday, Rosen denied the attempt, effectively keeping Manafort in federal custody.
"There's no reason for [Manafort] to go to Rikers," a source close to the case told Fox News. "He can go to his New York initial appearance and then return to federal custody."
But in a newly obtained letter from Vance to Rosen dated June 14, along with supporting materials, Vance stated that his "office has never taken the position that Mr. Manafort should be housed at Rikers Island (as opposed to another state or federal facility in New York), or that he be placed in solitary confinement."
Rikers Island is the famous jail near Laguardia airport. It has been the holding facility of some of the most high-profile violent criminals in the city, including David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam; and Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon.
But Vance's reported effort to have Manafort sent to Rikers attracted immediate criticism, including from prominent liberals and progressives.
"It is yet another example of the weaponization of the criminal process for partisan advantage," defense attorney Alan Dershowitz wrote in an opinion piece for Fox News. The Harvard Law professor emeritus suggested that Manhattan prosecutors may have been putting Manafort through tough conditions intentionally in order to prod him to work with them as state officials investigate President Trump.
Responding to reports that Manafort would be held in solitary at Rikers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., likened the move to "torture."
For now, Manafort is expected to await his state trial at MCC.
Manafort was convicted on charges related to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election. Manafort was the first Trump campaign associate found guilty by a jury as part of Mueller's probe.
Manafort, in March, was sentenced in federal court to nearly seven years in prison in connection with his guilty plea related to foreign lobbying and witness tampering. Manafort also pleaded guilty to committing various financial crimes, including tax fraud and failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) regarding his foreign lobbying on behalf of Ukraine.
Separately on Monday, the Supreme Court upheld a constitutional rule that allows state and federal governments to prosecute someone for the same crime, a closely watched case because of its potential implications for people prosecuted in the Russia investigation, including Manafort.
The court's 7-2 decision Monday preserves a long-standing rule that provides an exception to the Constitution's ban on trying someone twice for the same offense.

"Time is of the essence" is a term used in contract law in England and Wales (a legal jurisdiction within the United Kingdom), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, other Commonwealth countries and the United States, expressing "the need for timely completion", i.e. indicating that one or more parties to the agreement must perform by the time to which the parties have agreed if a delay will cause material harm. However, in the case of Foundation Development Corp. v. Loehmann's Inc. 788 P.2d 1189 (Arizona 1990), in which the lease included a Time is of the essence clause, the court ruled that a minor delay did not cause material harm and thus no breach of contract occurred.

"Time is of the essence" may be contrasted with "reasonable time", where a delay in performing may be justified if it is reasonably required, based upon subjective circumstances such as unexpected weather, and with the phrase time at large, which describes a situation where there is no date for completion, or where the date for completion has become invalid or unenforceable. The contractor is then no longer bound by the obligation to complete the contract by a certain date.

"Time is of the essence" may also be contrasted with an "express condition", where a specific contract term must be performed to avoid breach, such as in the Court of Appeals of Indiana's decision in Dove v. Rose Acre Farms, Inc. 434 N.E.2d 931 (Ct. App. Ind. 1982).

Time at large
"Time at large" is a common law principle  which can arise in four types of situation:
where no time for performance has ever been agreed as part of the contract
where a time which was fixed has ceased to apply, by agreement or an act which prevents its fulfillment, including an employer's act of prevention affecting completion
where the employer has waived the right to insist on completion by the agreed date, or where the contractor is in breach of contract but the employer elects to continue with the contract on a delayed basis, or
where the employer has failed to comply with the certification process, if this prevents the contract being administered correctly.

The case of Holme v Guppy (1838) confirms that "if the party be prevented by the refusal of the other contracting party from completing the contract within the time limited he is not liable in law for the default".

Where time is "at large", the contractor's obligation is to complete within a reasonable time. The facts of the case will determine what is a reasonable time. Bellhouse and Cowan note that most forms of contract now have "adequate extension of time procedures", so has become difficult to argue that an "at large" situation has arisen in most situations.

"The principle in Bramall & Ogden" (referring to the case of Bramall & Ogden v Sheffield City Council (1983) 29 BLR 73) established that confused legal drafting can give rise to a situation where time is "at large" due to the absence of agreement on contractual time for performance. In this case, Sheffield had contracted for the construction of 123 houses, which were completed on various dates. The contract provided for liquidated damages applicable on the number of houses incomplete, and stated a date for completion as 6 December 1976. The contract did not provide for sectional completion and the court held that the sectional basis on which the liquidated damages clause was to operate was inconsistent with the single end-date for anticipated completion, meaning that Sheffield were unable to enforce a damages claim for delay.

"Time at large" arguments may also be utilised in a civil law context.

If the great Australian play, Don's Party, and the often-maligned film, The Big Chill, both concern themselves with university graduates a decade or so into their careers and juggling work, family, and reconciling fading student idealism and with their tarnished realities, then the Day on the Green music festival is also populated by a specific demographic.
These are about us Gen X types. For many of us, music in the 1980's was unspeakably horrific, and post-2000, a little spasmodic if not disappointing.
So yesterday on the outskirts of McLaren Vale, as American grunge outfit Veruca Salt worked through their excellent set, we were sitting back on our chairs and watching all the punters and all their different band shirts. It seemed to be an unspoken uniform.
Anyhow, the wife suggested I make a list of the band shirts I saw.
The Living End – is it cool or even appropriate to wear a band shirt to their concert? Is it done ironically?
Ed Sheeran – this poor kid had obviously been dragged along by her parents!
Adam Ant – What do we make of this?
Old Day On The Green shirts – again is this cool, or sad? How would I know!
Fred Pants and the Footy Pies – this one intrigued you didn't it? I just made it up. But I'm going to get it printed before my next concert. I'll be the coolest guy there.
Of course, I was sat there in a checked shirt, looking like an accountant searching for a water cooler. Maybe I could've worn my c. Marsh b. Lillee shirt.
It was just after 9pm. "Or maybe Brunch on the Green," replied the wife.
Meanwhile, let me know if you spot a Fred Pants and the Footy Pies shirt.

Access, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) and Others Partner with Cloudflare to Protect Freedom of Expression on the Internet
Project Galileo provides vulnerable public interest websites with industry-leading Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack protection — for free
San Francisco, CA, June 12, 2014
Cloudflare, the leading Internet performance and security company, today announced Project Galileo to protect free expression online. The company is working with global NGOs to find websites at risk of attack and provide, at no cost, the same state-of-the-art mitigation technology already used by Cloudflare's thousands of enterprise customers including national government and Fortune 500 customers. Project Galileo equips politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work.
"Cloudflare's mission is to build a better Internet. Bullies should not be able to knock sites offline simply because they disagree with their content. We realized this was an increasing problem and there was something important Cloudflare could do to solve it," explained Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "Critical to Project Galileo's success is that we alone aren't picking who deserves protection. That's why we're proud to be working with some of the leading NGOs, spanning the political spectrum, in order to identify the websites that should qualify for the Project."
Project Galileo partners
Cloudflare is partnering with more than 15 civil society organizations — including Access, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) and the Freedom of the Press Foundation — to help identify and protect politically and artistically important websites that come under DDoS attack.
"Project Galileo is a breakthrough. It shows how Silicon Valley tech companies can actively create a more secure and safe Internet for the world's most vulnerable Internet users. Civil society actors around the world are under attack and this service helps create a level of protection we would otherwise not be able to access," said Brett Solomon, executive director at Access. "The right to freedom of expression now has a new ally online."
Through Project Galileo, Cloudflare provides partnering NGOs with an effective "bat phone" to call when they know a politically or artistically important website is under attack. Once notified, Cloudflare is committed to providing, at no cost, the at-risk organization with the company's most advanced DDoS protection.
"Cloudflare has shown remarkable leadership in its commitment to digital human rights, and Project Galileo is a bold step in ensuring that important and often controversial content online cannot be silenced by blunt, brute-force denial-of-service attacks," said Joe Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy & Technology.
Project Galileo participants
Project Galileo website participants have come under increasingly virulent, even state-sponsored, attacks. The Project already protects sites including minority rights organizations, LGBT groups in Africa and the Middle East, global citizen journalists and independent media outlets in the developing world.
"Cloudflare's Project Galileo can significantly help secure websites at risk, adding a layer of protection otherwise beyond the reach of most NGOs, grassroots civil society organizations, independent journalists and activists," explained Sanjana Hattotuwa, founding editor at Groundviews, a Sri Lankan citizen journalist website protected by the Project. "Cloudflare helps secure information in the public domain vital for accountability, human rights and justice in Sri Lanka — and globally."

Pearson sells Economist stake for £469m
Published August 12, 2015 by Sarah Shaffi

Pearson has agreed to sell its 50% stake in The Economist Group for £469m in cash, and is now "100% focused" on its global education strategy.
Investment company Exor has agreed to purchase 27.8% of The Economist Group's ordinary shares and all of its B special shares, with the remaining ordinary shares to be repurchased by The Economist Group.
John Fallon, Pearson's chief executive, said: "Pearson is proud to have been a part of the Economist's success over the past 58 years, and our shareholders have benefited greatly from its growth. We have enjoyed supporting the company as it has built a global business, sustaining the excellence of its journalism and ensuring it is read more widely. We wish all our colleagues at The Economist every future success.
"Pearson is now 100% focused on our global education strategy. The world of education is changing rapidly and we see great opportunity to grow our business through increasing access to high quality learning globally."
The transaction is subject to a number of regulatory approvals and to approval by both a 75% majority of The Economist Group shareholders and the group's independent trustees.
The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Pearson said it would use the proceeds of the sale for "general corporate purposes and investment in its global education strategy".
Last month Pearson sold the FT Group to the Japanese Nikkei Inc for £844m.
When Pearson and Bertelsmann entered an agreement to merge Penguin with Random House to create the world's largest trade publishing house in October 2012, a clause in the agreement said "under the terms of the agreement, neither Pearson nor Bertelsmann may sell any part of their shareholding in Penguin Random House for three years." That date is up at the end of October 2015 in a few weeks time.
Some commentators have suggested it is a matter of "when not if" Pearson will sell its 47% stake in Penguin Random House if the company is intent on focussing only on its educational business.

San Jose Mass Shooting Latest Workplace Violence Striking Essential Workers
A mass shooting at a light rail yard in San Jose, California, by a Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) employee that took the lives of nine co-workers on May 26, 2021, in yet another tragic case of workplace violence is "the latest in a spate of shootings that have struck essential workers in the U.S.," according to a report from CNN.
CNN reported that the gunman had been identified as Samuel Cassidy, who investigators believe took his own life after the shooting, and "the victims and all the colleagues knew the shooter well." The victims and the shooter worked at the VTA, a public transit service that operates bus and light rail services in the Santa Clara Valley.
While a motive for the shooting is still unclear, CNN reported that Cassidy's ex-wife told CNN affiliate the Bay Area News Group that her ex-husband "resented his work," "often spoke angrily about his co-workers and bosses," "resented what he saw as unfair work assignments," and "would rant about his job when he got home."
The shooting in San Jose is the latest case of workplace violence striking essential workers who kept working during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, eight people were killed at a FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. In March 2021, ten people – including employees – were killed at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado.
According to the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) released annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 5,333 fatal work injuries recorded in the United States in 2019, a 2 percent increase from the 5,250 fatal work injuries in 2018, and 454 of the fatal work injuries in 2019 were homicides.
"Workplace violence" is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as "any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site" and "ranges from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide."

MADRID (REUTERS) - Spanish police arrested seven people with suspected links to Islamist militant groups on Sunday in a dawn raid in the Mediterranean regions of Alicante and Valencia and in Spain's north African enclave of Ceuta, the Interior Ministry said.
Sunday's swoop was the result of two years of investigation into the ring by authorities. The arrested people had carried out their activities in other European countries before settling in Spain, the ministry said.

Aftermaths – Three Plays
Aftermaths
Three Short Plays
7pm, 9 – 12 September 2009
Studio 77, 77 Fairlie Tce, Kelburn
$15/$8, book at theatre@vuw.ac.nz or 463 5359
Facebook event here.
Everyone is looking for happiness, and no one finds it. There are no happy endings in Aftermaths, the second season of plays to emerge from this year's THEA 304 Directing paper. It consists of three works; all bound together by an aim to shock and provoke the audience.
"We are questioning your apathy. We are all looking at people being comfortable and wanting to present them with aspects of life and humanity which don't quite jive with that," says Ailsa Krefft, one of the directors. But, let it not be said that this will be a dour evening. A pitch black sense of humour will drift in and out of all three plays.
Krefft kicks off the evening with Helter Skelter. It is the New Zealand premiere of the latest play by notorious playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute (Set best by Bash, ah). A couple meets in a restaurant after a day of shopping, but recently discovered infidelities start an unstoppable slide towards a shocking resolution. A sharp, delicate and disturbing play, Krefft says that it's about "The fragility of human kind. The fact that shocking events really do take place. The idea that someone you know has the potential within them to snap and do unthinkable things."
In the middle sits theatrical legend Caryl Churchill's latest play Seven Jewish Children, directed by Nicole Harvey. Written as a direct reaction to the Israeli bombing of Gaza earlier this year, Seven Jewish Children, a poetic, non- naturalist piece, has a become a lightening rod for controversy, a radio version of it being banned recently from the BBC airwaves. "It's quite tricky to describe," says Harvey. "It follows Jewish parents over the course of recent history and it sees them questioning what they should tell their child about war and the world around them, about whether should they tell them the truth or keep them in a little box of coddling security."
Ending the evening is New Zealand playwright Angie Farrow's After Kafka, directed by Samantha Woodward. Set within a cocoon, it asks questions of meaning both within people's lives and within themselves. It is a play of inspiration and creative block. Woodward chose to put it on "because of all the visual and theatrical opportunities it afforded me. When I look at this play, I see cool things."
Uther was one of the two arts editors in 2009. He was the horoscopier and theatre writer in 2010. Alongside Elle Hunt, Uther was coeditor in 2011.

What It's Like Living in Wynwood, Miami
By Lombardi Properties
Posted Thursday, Oct 24, 2019
If you've ever heard of Miami's Wynwood neighborhood, then you've probably heard about the Wynwood Walls or Wynwood Art Walk. Both have become synonymous with this neighborhood, located north of Downtown and near Midtown.
And there's no question that the area deserves its artsy reputation. Historically, the emerging art scene helped transform this once-gritty enclave into a true destination. Today, the neighborhood has even more to offer. Being in a city with roads designed more for cars than pedestrians and shopping centers filled with the same national chains you'd find anywhere in America, Wynwood offers a refreshing alternative.
The neighborhood owes its charm, at least in part, to the efforts of local groups, such as the Wynwood Business Improvement District. On a recent tour, Wynwood BID executive director Albert Garcia described the ongoing efforts to improve the streetscape, along with programs to keep the area safe.
The BID is also behind regulations that require developers to adhere to strict design requirements—like including public art in new construction—that have largely dissuaded corporate America from venturing here.
It's these types of activities—which residents may not even be aware of—that are at the heart of the neighborhood's transformation from one where people feared to walk at night to one where foot traffic is the norm. On an average Friday or Saturday evening, the streets are alive with pedestrians visiting galleries, shopping, eating, and drinking.
For those looking to extend their stay beyond a visit and live in this neighborhood, this is what it is like to live in Wynwood.
Wynwood Real Estate
The construction of Wynwood 25, a mixed-use apartment property on 25th Street with a distinctive mural, is a monument to the neighborhood's ongoing efforts to draw residents who want to live, work, and play in the same area. But if you're seriously considering buying a home here, you'll most likely have to look further north and closer to Midtown.
Buyers can find a range of condos in both high- and mid-rise structures, but those looking for single-family homes might be hard pressed to find a home here, although it's not impossible. With a median sale price of about $350,000, it's definitely not the cheapest neighborhood in the city, although it's not the most expensive either.
The Local Art Scene

You can stroll down any of Wynwood's streets and you'll find a building with a mural, an art gallery, or even a working artist. There's no denying the presence of art, but it's more than just artists who frequent this neighborhood. The monthly art walks are also block parties that feature food trucks, live music, children's activities such as face painting, and, of course, art. During Art Basel, Wynwood hosts events that many say rival those in South Beach.

Maybe you're looking for a kitschy wall hanging that everybody who visits your home points to and asks, "Where did you find that?" or the kind of necklace that earns you compliments no matter what you're wearing. As much as we all love our old shopping standbys, sometimes you crave something different, and Wynwood is filled with distinctive shopping experiences.
Among offerings are boutiques such as Frangipani which sells handmade artisanal accessories, and Glottman, which sells furniture, gifts, and accessories.
If you're looking for a reimagined retail experience, pay a visit to Soundlux Audio. Upon entering this warehouse-like setting, you'll notice the stacks of LPs almost immediately and feel like you've just stepped into somebody's home. The store is set up as a series of "living rooms" for customers to test out the audio products in as if it were their own home.
The store sells Hi-Fi audio equipment, but owner Eric Gould doesn't just want to sell you equipment—he wants to transform the way you listen to music.
Concrete Beach Brewery / Photo by Wynwood BID
Many neighborhood transformation stories start with the opening of a craft brewery. In Wynwood, it's the story of J Wakefield Brewing, which opened its doors in 2015 when the area wasn't quite the draw it is today. In the early days, a new craft beer release drew a line of would-be tasters around the block.
Today, the area has several breweries, such as Concrete Beach Brewery and Wynwood Brewing Company. Those seeking alternatives to craft beer have many choices, such as Gramps, a laid-back establishment that features a range of drinks, along with live music and trivia night, among other activities.
Coyo Taco / Photo by Wynwood BID
Maybe you're in the mood for Chinese? Or Japanese? Thai? All of the above? At 1-800 Lucky, you can have all of that and more. The neighborhood's food hall (hey, every good neighborhood needs one, right?) has eight restaurants and a relaxed, social vibe.
If a food hall isn't your scene, you have many other choices such as Coyo Taco, KYU, and Beaker & Gray. The choices are so diverse and appealing that the neighborhood is quickly developing a reputation as a Miami food mecca.

Ibushi Plans To Use The IC Title To Challenge Omega, And Even Nakamura
November 5, 2017 May 15, 2018 Yoko	0 Comments Hiroshi Tanahashi, Intercontinental Championship, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Power Struggle, Shinsuke Nakamura, US Heavyweight Championship, Wrestle Kingdom in Tokyo Dome, WWE
From Tokyo Sports
"Ibushi reveals his ambition for taking over the IC title, and making his dreams of facing Kenny and Nakamura come true."
Ibushi Kota revealed his ambition for taking over the Intercontinental Championship Title. Ibushi designates the Tokyo Dome event (Wrestle Kingdom 12) as the place to fulfill his 'promise' with Kenny Omega, who was once his good friend and partner. Also, he wants to once again challenge Nakamura Shinsuke, current WWE Superstar and former IC champion.
Tanahashi Hiroshi, whom Ibushi refers to as a 'god', complained about Ibushi's actions since he became a freelance pro wrestler. Ibushi says, "I don't believe there's only one way to overcome him. This is the way I am. Even he (Tanahashi) says he's 'disappointed', I don't get it. Even if I did it the same way he does, he's 'the god'." The 'Golden Star' (Ibushi's nickname) who has always gone against the grain of pro wrestling, stays true to himself.
Ibushi also stated that he wants to challenge Kenny Omega, after he wins the title. Omega was passionate about meeting in the final of this year's G1 tournament, however, Ibushi couldn't make it.
Ibushi says, "I couldn't even keep the promise. I want the match right after if I become the champion." He's dead-set on their collision in the Tokyo Dome. Since Kenny has held the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship, Ibushi adds, "I would even take a unification match."
Moreover, Ibushi reveals his goal to challenge Nakamura Shinsuke, who is now one of the superstars of WWE and who Ibushi had fought twice, before. Ibushi participated in the WWE last year, as well. "I don't think it's impossible. I always think outside of the box. This is why I need the belt, I have to overcome Tanahashi."

I was surprised to learn that the government had increased telephone rate by almost 28 percent; I am against this move.
The telephone service is a public facility, so its rates must be kept as low as possible.
The telephone service is strategically significant in promoting efficiency and eventually, bossting national productivity.
The telephone service is a business gateway and as it is monopolized by the state telecommunications firm Telkom, seeking profit must come second in Telkom's goal.
Given that the telecommunications business is highly lucrative, greater transparency in the management of this business is necessary; as it will demonstrate to the public whether or not is necessary to raise telephone rates.
In my opinion, telecommunications facilities must be catogorized as a basic, public need and therefore their rates cannot be raised arbitrarily.

While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reforms greatly increased consumer health plan choices and the comparative information available to them, evidence suggests that more reform is needed.
Research shows that consumers continue to select health plans based on their post-subsidy premiums and often fail to take into account other factors, such as cost-sharing obligations and the quality and breadth of provider networks.1 This is unsurprising —premiums are the easiest health plan attribute for consumers to understand,2 and in many cases, non-premium health plan attributes are not as easy to compare (or in some cases, not yet available) when shopping.
What Is Standardized Plan Design?
Standardized benefit designs standardize cost-sharing into a few basic designs to reflect different actuarial values or health plan generosity.5 This is typically useful in situations where a consumer has many health insurance choices, such as an ACA Marketplace. In addition, standardized plan design also assists regulators and insurance exchanges when negotiating or setting rates with insurance carriers (since the carriers would have less latitude to negotiate), which may also translate into lower prices for consumers.
How Does Standardized Plan Design Help Consumers?
While evidence on the consumer response is limited, these approaches are very promising.
HHS also proposed specific design elements for standardized plan design that focused on provider tiers (single, in-network provider tier); drug formularies (no more than four - generic, preferred brand, non-preferred brand, and speciality); standard copayments and coinsurance; and deductible-exempt services.

For example, while D.C.'s standardized bronze and silver plans still have a significant deductible ($2,000 and $4,500, respectively), they include multiple elements that help keep cost-sharing more affordable, including exempting some services from the deductible, having a separate drug deductible, and charging lower copayments for primary care and generic drugs.

The 3rd week of the hobbit house build summed up in 3 words: lime, roof, rain.
The first classroom session of the week (held by none other than Mr. Hart) was all about lime. How and why we use it as a building material and its 'life' cycle. It is very interesting, especially if you compare lime to concrete and how they perform on a building. In this hobbit house build we are using lime for the stone piers and external rendering. Lime is moisture permeable, meaning it allows the moisture of a household (cooking, showering etc.) to escape. In comparison, cement has no ability to deal with water, which leads to dampness. Also, every building moves over time. Since lime is flexible, plaster and render made with it don't crack. Cement is inflexible and doesn't move with the building, thus you can see a lot of cracks on the older buildings that have been rendered with cement.
After theory comes practice – we slowly and carefully added water to a quicklime and sand mixture to make 'hotlime' mortar. Quicklime reacting with sand forms a stronger bond than if we mix slaked lime with sand. But when quicklime reacts with water it produces a huge amount of heat. The quicklime dust is dangerous if inhaled and the mixture can irritate or burn the skin. So always use protective glasses, a face mask and gloves, along with protective covering for any exposed areas of skin.
We started building the piers for our posts: stacking locally dug stone and binding them with the hotlime mortar.
We worked on our reciprocal roof as well. Reciprocal roof frames are self-supporting structures. The intertwining nature of its parts creates a complimentary tension which makes the self-supporting roof remarkably strong. It's easy to build in theory, but when the timbers are massive and there is not enough people, it gets quite tricky. It took us a lot of practice, calculating, planning… Trials and errors.
First we practiced making our reciprocal roof on the ground. We had to check how the different bits and pieces that we've cut work together, so that we could mark our rafter joint cuts and adjust what we've cut.
Once everything will be in place, we will secure the timbers with bolts.
It's been raining all week, but the sun seems to be returning. Fingers crossed for a sunny weekend!


In 2014, New York native Mike Gibney wanted to get away from his past, working for touring artists as a sound engineer and tour manager, to focus on writing and recording his own music. His debut EP "Who Gibbz a F#@$" showed that he was no longer content with being behind the scenes, but rather yearned for the spotlight. Following up with the "Chardonnay" EP, he aligned himself with other artists that began to see him more as a peer, than a hired hand. He toured extensively through the US and Europe with Gramatik, Cherub, Exmag, Ghost Beach and the Floozies before independently releasing his first full-length album, "Above Water," in 2016. Gibbz finished off 2016 with another EP titled "Oh My God," before tackling his first headlining tour in 2017.


Inspired by her grandmother, Gloucestershire shepherdess Pauhla Whitaker balances her flock to sheep with her love of stitching, as Kate Chapman discovered when she went to meet her.
The chance discovery of some unfinished needlework has reconnected shepherdess Pauhla Whitaker with her ancestors while encouraging her to launch her own venture.
Finding an embroidered tablecloth started by her grandmother inspired her to teach herself how to sew and after mastering other stitching techniques she launched Sheep in Stitches – making and selling lifelike felt ornaments, brooches and cushions, using the wool from her own herd of 350 breeding ewes.
Working alongside husband Martin, Pauhla is a National Trust tenant farmer, overseeing 227 hectares (560 acres) of organically farmed land at Overtown Farm in the Cotswold Hills, where they keep a mix of sheep including mules, Scots half breeds and Vendeens alongside a 70-strong herd of suckler cows.
And it is this vibrant landscape, with its livestock and wildlife surrounding her that is the inspiration for her intricate needlework.
Although she's always had an interest in arts and crafts, it wasn't until she hit her early 40s she began to take a real interest in sewing, after stumbling upon a tapestry she had started some 15 years before.
"I thought 'I really must finish this off' and I quite enjoyed it," she recalls. "When I rediscovered my tapestry, I also found a beautifully hand-embroidered tablecloth, sewn by my grandmother about 60 years ago in a design of beehives, holly hocks and other cottage garden flowers.
"I decided to get some thread, learn some basic stitches and see if I could copy it.
"I asked my mum if I could have a look through gran's old stuff and there were a lot of embroidery silks.
"I used them to copy part of the design and it suddenly occurred to me about half way through that I was using the silks she had used – that's why the colours were a perfect match, they were the same ones.
"As I stitched, a gap of over 60 years closed gently, reuniting me with my grandmother in spirit at least, through a love of needlework.
Pauhla gradually built up her repertoire of stitches before diverting to needle felting, cross stitch and felt toy making for variety.
In 2012 she set herself a more substantial challenge of creating a still-life of wild flowers picked from one of the farm's cornfields and found she had the skill to translate the three- dimensional living plant she was looking at into stitches on fabric.
After illness forced her to take to her bed, she then decided to make a Swaledale Sheep from felt, having seen a photo in a magazine.
"It had strong colours, and I thought it would be nice to try and make one out of felt, so I started drawing and then cutting bits out to make a template before stitching it together and I really liked it, so then I set myself a target to make every British breed – I've done about 17 so far," she adds.
"Friends loved them so I booked a table at the village craft fayre and sold out. Before I knew it, I had orders coming in, and had started my business and a shop on Etsy where I sell my work.
"I'll pretty much try anything - cushions, book covers, I did a children's nursery mobile too - if it can be embroidered or made out of felt, then generally I will give it a go.
"So far I've done cockerels, limas, alpacas, all sorts of dog breeds and I'm currently working on a blue-tongued lizard.
With all the sheep she was making, it wasn't long before Pauhla ran out of wool roving – before it occurred that she had the ideal resource under her own nose – or rather 350 of them and she began using fleeces from her own flock, which has made her work more tactile as well as looking and feeling lovely.
Although she attends a couple of local craft fairs, she sells the majority of her work online, with many of her customers based overseas thanks to finding her social media profiles.
"I use Twitter and Facebook quite a lot to showcase my work," she says. "I told myself I'd give Twitter three months to build a following and it absolutely took off and that's what really drove a lot of initial orders.
"I've got a lot of followers in the States, many of whom have no connection to agriculture, but like sheep; there's a lot of good will towards them and collectors out there who love to have items with them on.
"People are really interested in UK farming too and what's going on and through social media they've got a chance to ask questions about what we do and why we do it. It serves as good publicity, puts a face to the industry and creates a go to point.
"I close the shop for a month during lambing as this work has to fit in around my farm work, and I did wonder whether the Twitter activity would all go quiet.
"I stopped showing the sewing and started posting pictures of the real sheep, and everybody was getting into what was happening on the farm and what I do the rest of the time.
But however popular her sewing proves, Pauhla is clear it must never take precedence over her farm work.
Her needlework is time-consuming, with new pieces taking up to six hours to complete from drawing and making a template, fitting it together, stitching and embroidering. Once a template is made, pieces can still take up to three hours to make.
"I am not good at sitting down and doing nothing," says Pauhla, "I tend to do a lot in the evening but try to be a bit disciplined about it. Generally it's something I can pick up between other jobs.
"Farming is the main work, there is a bit of down time, especially in the winter – sometimes we are done feeding livestock by four or five o'clock, and as we're not dairy there's no milking to do, so I can come inside and get on with paperwork or if there's not a lot to do, I can use the couple of extra hours to sew.
"I would like to do more, but I have to be realistic - it has to fit around the farm work.


numbers that just couldn't possibly be right.
How do you respond when somebody does that?
>> I would say I don't understand how you could come up with that.
they ought to be able to justify.
>> If they can't justify it, it's worthless.
why did you say that, I don't understand, help me.
then I've got to say well, arbitrarily I thought that'd be a good place to start.
what you don't propose doing is coming up with an equally outrageous low number?
>> No, cuz what that does, it throws you in the competitive mode.
>> And then you got a extra and then they get crazy and you get crazy.
And the negotiation's gonna be so prolonged or break off.
tell the stories that I make up.
This is where I exaggerate.
I say In a way I was thinking about what you might come up with.
I said, I think he'll ask for this.
I had somebody with me I said, so I asked him, what did you think?
And we both said at some when you double that, we were both wrong.
I was in a state of shock, how'd you come up with that?
instead of meeting fire with fire your job is to put out the fire.
>> And so you can use humor.
those are Australian dollars right?
>> Or help them out of it.
the right number's really closer to 450,000, they've got a problem.
And you probably have to help them in some way.
Because how are you gonna help them come down from two million without losing face?
in fact I recall that I've done exactly the same thing.
the value of anything is what people are willing to pay.
And we don't have that much.
I think you got to like reconsider that initial number.
And so what about it?
with your partners and discuss this and then we could go on.
>> Now are you asking them to make a concession without any reciprocity?
>> Yeah, I will reciprocate then.
They're making a demand now.
two million, what they'll do is they'll come down to a million.
>> Okay, which is still a problem.
And I would then make an offer.
I could I could go to, like, 285.
>> And see what they say.
>> And one thing I like is, you didn't pick a round number.
>> So why did you not pick a round number?
>> Because round numbers are not as credible.
next number would be $45 more.
The next number would be $25 more.
>> The last number would be $12 more.
I've got another 25 cents I can throw in >> Yeah, yeah.
>> Do I have anything over here in this change, let's see.

Book Review: Wise and Otherwise
These are vignettes from Sudha Murty's short columns written for the fortnightly 'New Sunday Express'. She draws them from her personal treasure of experiences had had over the course of time - a majority of them coming from her working with the Infosys Foundation. These are stories of very ordinary people, but the stories- like the lives of people in them - are not ordinary.
Wise and Otherwise
Sudha Murty
Penguin Books India
Sudha Murty is the founder of the CSR wing of Infosys - the Infosys Foundation - one of the few home-grown companies of India in the IT sector. Sudha is a prolific writer and a teacher. She draws these stories from her vast chest of experiences acquired over her lifetime of service to the people. There are 51 of them, all short and each one unique in its own right.
It is a beautiful window into the diversity of the conditions in which Indians from varied walks of life spend their lives. From the vast landscapes of urbanized India to the hinterlands where access to primary education is meagre if at all, there are stories about everyone. A lot of this book is about contrasts. From the changing dynamics of our modernizing society where grown-ups are more relieved than saddened by the demise of their old parents, to families who resort to deceit in order to rid themselves of their living parents (without much expense), there is much to think and worry about the (d)evolution path we are treading. She talks about human frailties and about that bloated ego which drives some people to resort to unfair practices when none is warranted - much ado about nothing. In the very next overtone, she shows the other end of the spectrum where humility comes from a very unexpected quarter - sometimes from a handicraft seller family of Gujarat, sometimes from the uneducated Thandappa and sometimes from her own house maid. She marvels at the honesty of children and then lifts the lid from a darker issue - the ones who must set an example resort to exploitation at the expense of others. How bad a grouchy company can be is amply expressed in her moods when she talks about some people. Then, she goes on to showcase how thinking well can not only transform our own lives, but the lives we touch. All in all, the book covers a broad spectrum of social and personal issues - with a story coming from each extreme of the topics. A stingy donor who'll claim credit to even the smallest contribution, to some unknown benefactor who gives amply but anonymously; The young generation that splurges money like running water to a young generation that puts non-violence and the lessons learnt from violence over innovations like Computers and the Internet in terms of significance; A student who still retains the sense of gratitude for a help provided for in need, to another who grew out of exactly the same circumstances but took a different path with a sense of entitlement rather than gratitude.
In a story about bursting stoves, Sudha experiences the plight of young girls from poor families who are tormented by their in-laws for dowry. It would rouse anyone to violent action on impulse, should anyone be in her position - and yet, she shows the helplessness she felt. Law takes its own course. She works on the grass-root levels instead. Don't just trim the weed, eradicate the seed. She emphasizes the importance of education and developing self-sufficiency among women so that they can take on this unfair world without needing the crutches of her husband or in-laws (or parents, for that sake).
Yet, in another story a few pages ahead, she dwells upon this dilemma of independence again. Well educated girls who earn enough still bear the brunt of their in-laws' bloated expectations and consequently, their ridicule and neglect, are still crying. She wonders, what did education bring them, and how are they any different from the underprivileged girls she comes across. There, she suggests that self-sufficiency is something that current education cannot bring - it is a feeling, a thought process that is currently missing amongst us. Some women are bold enough to step up and take command of their ships. There are success stories of an illiterate woman who gets an equal say in what crop is to be planted in the season, to her own friend from college years - whom everybody thought to have been a mediocre and expected to have a mediocre lifestyle. Diamonds in the rough.
Sudha comes across as a defiant lady with a tender heart. It is mind-boggling to think that she does so much and yet, she does it anyway. There is amazement and disappointment when some of her own friends and acquaintances have a negative outlook towards life - one even asking her as to who ghost-writes her articles and books since she can't be doing so much work (and yet finding time of more). One gets to learn a lot about the work Infosys Foundation does through these short stories.
There are traces where one might wonder why did she have to be so brash and blunt to the people as if it was her prerogative to set people right - like telling the son whose father had died that "it is shameful the way you and your father cooked up this drama for the sake of a few thousand rupees!...And you are setting a bad example...". Throughout the story, one feels bad for the old man, who had been abandoned by his son and had nowhere to go. Later, when it is revealed that the father, no matter how helpless he was, was complicit in the act - the ire of the reader is still directed at the son and daughter-in-law. Sudha, on the other hand, is angry with both the father and son. But I think she does a suitable job - objectively. She is a teacher, she talks like one. Plain, simple well-meaning words. (Even if we don't like lectures).
I found there to be an awful lot of stories written about women - both good and bad. It is perhaps my tenacity of the negative that I write hence. Often - and stereotypically so - the women lot draw a bad name when it comes to worldly and interpersonal things. In some of these stories (at least 2), it is interesting to note how a husband gets to lay blame on his 'controlling wife' who did not like her in-laws. Today, with the rise of this notion of 'feminism', the acts of injustice on a woman are flung across billboards and make hot debate agendas. But it is often noted, as in this book too, that women are more disapproving of other women - a mother-in-law uses her influence on her son and they torture his wife for dowry, a wife uses her influence to get rid of the ailing father. All that the husband gets to do is hang his head in shame and (with a weak spine) obey. Whose fault is it? I think it is a collective fault. Of course, there are many stories of the legendary fragile male ego, they are bigger blunders over trifling matters. There is grace in upholding the values imbibed by the cultures of the place. I don't think any place would advocate any of these things we read about. What culture suggests estranging one's parents when they most need you? Or torturing someone for the sake of material greed? But let us not strip the yarn from the weave!
All in all, the stories are short, crisp and very matter-of-factly written. While the language flows smoothly, some stories do leave you with some heaviness in the heart and a lot more to think about. While it might not leave you wisened, it provides a refreshingly good start.

PepsiCo launches functional drinks
By GlobalData Consumer
GlobalData Consumer 1 October 2020
The drink is designed to help consumers who are stressed and as a result are unable to sleep. Credit: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.
Functional drinks, which include vitamins, herbs, plants and minerals associated with a potential health or performance benefit, are a small but growing category of the overall beverage industry. With the ongoing global pandemic, consumers are finding new ways to relax and unwind and products which can help them achieve it are certainly going to gain popularity and prove helpful.
To align with the trend PepsiCo has recently launched a new functional beverage, Driftwell, which it claims is designed to help consumers relax, unwind and de-stress. The product is designed to help consumers who are stressed and as a result are unable to sleep. It contains L-theanine, an amino acid commonly found in tea leaves which is said to promote relaxation without drowsiness, as well as magnesium and has a spa-water inspired flavour with hints of blackberry and lavender.
The beverage has zero carbonation, zero calories and zero sugar, a claim that may resonate well with health conscious consumers. Additionally, it also contains 10% of the recommended daily value of magnesium. The drink comes in 7.5-ounce mini cans and just one flavor: blackberry lavender and will be launched in US in December 2020.
According to GlobalData's Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tracker Consumer Survey – Week 8, approximately 22% of consumers in US say that they feel stressed these days with the number going up to 33% for young consumers in the age group of 18-24 year olds* who are having a tough time adjusting to the new normal. Stress is also one of the main reasons responsible for lack of sleep and thus the product may be highly appealing to these consumers.
According to Emily Silver, vice president of innovation and capabilities at Pepsi's North American beverages unit, "PepsiCo sees an opportunity — especially during these anxiety-inducing times — to offer stress-relief via beverage form. It is also the fastest new product to ever come out of the company". With the functional drinks category gaining momentum there are opportunities for PepsiCo to leverage their scale of operations and tap into the small but growing segment.
Sales of soft drinks has been heavily impacted due to the pandemic mostly as a result of closures in foodservice outlets and a shift to at-home consumption with fewer occasions for socializing. PepsiCo is trying to get a stronger foothold in the health and wellness segment with acquisitions like KeVita in 2016 and plant based energy bar company Health Warrior in 2018, and a product like this can definitely help in tapping new opportunities in related segments.

Drady, John Rasmussen Family
John Rasmussen Drady
John Rasmussen Drady Family
John Rasmussen Drady (born Johannes Rasmussen Grodås) was the youngest of seven children. He was born on September 26, 1852 to Rasmus Pedersen Grodås and Johanne Andersdoter Kongsvik in Grodås, sogn og Fjordane fylke, Hornindal, Norway.
At the age of 18, John emigrated with his older brother Elling Rasmussen Grodås, age 22, arriving in Quebec, Canada, on June 26, 1871. They entered the United States in July, 1871, at the port of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For a few years, John lived in St. Peter, Minnesota. He then move to the milling district of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and worked as a painter for Wagner & Wilson.
John Rasmussen and Ingeborg Drady
In about 1878, John married his first wife, Ingeborg. Ingeborg was born in LaCrosse, LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 1857. John's brother Elling passed away from consumption on January 23, 1877, and Ingeborg passed away after surgery on March 12, 1880, both in Minneapolis. He buried them at Layman's Cemetery (now Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota). John then moved to Norcross, Minnesota, and operated a general store for a period of time before moving his business to Moorhead, Minnesota, in 1882. He lived in Moorhead until 1898.
John and Thomine (Grove) Drady
Thomine (Grove) Drady
John's second wife, Thomine Grove, was born on April 18, 1866 in Goodhue County, Minnesota to Thrond Larsson Grove (1821-1893) and Anna Pedersdotter Overby (1821-1908). John and Thomine were married on January 29, 1884, in Goodhue County, Minnesota. In 1886, before they had children of their own, they adopted Annetta (Nettie) Anderson, age 2, after her mother died. Annetta was the daughter of Swan and Mary Anderson (1863-1886). Swan was the bookkeeper in John's store. John and Thomine had three children, Thomas Richard, Clara Josephine, and Julia Taranta. Thomine passed away on May 27, 1894, at St. Luke's Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she had been receiving treatment for tubercular meningitis. She was buried in Prairie Home Cemetery in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Rogine (Hoidal) Drady
John married his third wife, Rogine Hoidal on February, 25, 1896, in Freeborn County, Minnesota. Rogine was born in 1865 in Norway. They had one child, Reginald Joseph. Rogine passed away due to complications of childbirth on June 16, 1897. On Rogine's request, her sister Martha Hoidal took in Reginald and raised him. She was buried in Prairie Home Cemetery in Moorhead, Clay, Minnesota.
John was an active member of the community in Moorhead. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, his name appearing as a sponsor on many baptismal records. He was on the first board of regents for Concordia College, and he served two terms as an alderman. John's business associates in Moorhead were friend Ole Martinson and, later, nephew Rasmus Peder Kirkhorn, son of John's brother Peder Rasmussen Kirkhorn. John also had close ties to the Mons T. Weum family. Mons's wife Gertrud was sister to Rogine and Martha Hoidal. Drady, Martinson, and Weum lots are located side-by-side at the Prairie Home Cemetery in Moorhead.
In 1898, John and his four children (Annetta, Thomas, Clara, and Julia) moved to Edinburg, North Dakota, where John ran a general store for two years until the business district of the town, including John's store, was destroyed by a fire on April 20, 1900. Shortly after the fire, the family moved to Ward County, North Dakota, and John filed on land in Tolgen Township, 12 miles south of Berthold. He operated a ranch there for five years. In People of the Prairie, John was said to have had over two hundred head of cattle, but, in 1902, he lost more than half of the herd to a snow storm. While owning the ranch, John was also employed at the P. P. Lee department store in Minot.
The family then settled in Burt Township, built a home, and started a general store 12 miles southwest of Minot in 1905. On November 1, 1905, the Ward County Independent reported under "Burt Items" that "Underdahl and Drady have opened their store and the farmers are cordially invited to trade with them." On January 16, 1906, John became postmaster, and the small but active community became known as Drady, North Dakota. "Mr. Drady was one of the most highly respected citizens of Ward County. He was treasurer of Burt school district for years and in the early days was one of the assistant assessors of the old Fourth commissioner's district, embracing 72 townships," his obituary would later state.
John managed his store with his son, Thomas, until 1926, when he sold the store to Iver Monshaugen. John retired as postmaster on January 6, 1927, with Iver also taking on that duty. Thomas then began farming. John was a member of Gethsemane Scandinavisk Evangelical Lutheran Church, which had been built in Drady in 1914. After retirement, John lived with Thomas in Drady and also with Clara in Minot.
