How might we implement values of health and independence in young-adults to enable them to understand what they put in and on their bodies?
To implement values of health and independence in young-adults, our team created Farm Faced, a company that uses healthy, whole foods to create effective beauty products, simple food recipes, and works educate others on what they are putting in and on their body. Our team used food as a vehicle for conversation, finding similar interests and connecting with each other. Talking casually over food, reduced the stranger tension and let our ideas flow freely. The topic of nutrition came up when team members voiced they had never eaten certain foods. We all started to enlighten each other on new foods to try and the benefits it had on one's body.
Farm Face's theory of change is focused on education. After researching nutrition in the United States, our team found that 48% of Americans don't know what they're eating, 80% of Americans are malnourished, 12.5% of ingredients in personal care products are bad chemicals, and 80% of cosmetic products have at least one of these chemicals. These problems are all linked back to one source, education. Some group members had never tried foods such as kale or avocado. We planted a sense of adventure and experimentation in our group which motivated us to create, test, and learn. After a semester of hard work, fun, and focus, we not only created all-natural products to educate young-adults on nutrition and healthy living, but we created a sustainable business that will continue to grow and educate. Using simple ingredients that are healthy to eat and put on your face, we tested and made a number of recipes, which we compiled into a recipe book. We hope to continue our project in February and hold a sale on Valentine's Day.

Chelsea Manning, the former Army private convicted of disclosing classified information, would be challenging Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, the incumbent Democrat up for re-election in November.
WASHINGTON — Chelsea Manning, the former Army private convicted of disclosing classified information, has filed to run for Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
Ms. Manning, who was found guilty of leaking more than 700,000 government files to WikiLeaks in 2013, would face Senator Benjamin L. Cardin in the Democratic primary race this year. Mr. Cardin is Maryland's senior senator and the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In 2012, the senator cruised to victory in the general election after winning the Democratic primary race with nearly 75 percent of the vote.
Ms. Manning, a transgender woman formerly known as Bradley Manning, received a 35-year prison term for disseminating a vast trove of government documents that included incident reports from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and dossiers on detainees being imprisoned without trial at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
While Ms. Manning, who declined to comment about her election filing, has been hailed as a hero by opponents of government secrecy, others, including President Trump, have called her a traitor to the United States. Since her release, Ms. Manning, 30, has written about free speech, civil liberties, queer and transgender rights and computer security for publications like The Guardian.
Ms. Manning moved to Maryland after leaving the military prison and filed documents with the Federal Election Commission as a Democrat, with paperwork formally processed Thursday.
Last year, her invitation to be a visiting fellow at Harvard was revoked after officials there faced a severe backlash and grew concerned over what could be viewed as an endorsement of her actions.

"But, this Huang Xiaolong Cultivation to the present, in 1000 , he impossible little really to be the same with us, has achieved Heavenly Monarch Sixth Order?" True God Sect Old Ancestor said scruple. People said nothing. Cultivation is less than the millenniums, Heavenly Monarch Sixth Order! This indeed is impossible matter! "If is really this, that this Huang Xiaolong was too rather terrorist." True God Sect Sect Master Wang Hao suddenly the expression of sighing with regret said. The True God Sect people are startled.

They have not thought toward this aspect before, because, All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, they had not heard that a person can have more than one King Of Supreme Divine Spark. "Sect Master, you said that this Huang Xiaolong has two King Of Supreme Divine Spark, two are both King Of Supreme?!" A True God Sect Old Ancestor sound shakes fiercely. True God Sect Sect Master Wang Hao nodded, has not opened the mouth. True God Sect audiences Old Ancestor complexion big change. Two King Of Supreme Divine Spark?! King Of Supreme Divine Spark, is the monstruous talent, then simultaneously has two? They do not dare to imagine. Simultaneously has two King Of Supreme Divine Spark, such talent some multi- monstruous talent, nobody knows. "The war of this Heavenly Court, Huang Xiaolong , if not die, once he breaks through to the boundary of Great Emperor, later only feared that nobody can kill him again, nobody can suppress him again!" After a meeting, True God Sect Sect Master Wang Hao opens the mouth saying: "This person, was not our True God Sect can offend, Bright Emperor Palace and Evil God Emperor Palace must kill him, only feared that was invites trouble, went looking for trouble." Like True God Sect, other Great Emperor palace various family various Sect were also guessing that discussed Huang Xiaolong, moreover mostly was guessing the Huang Xiaolong true strength. In Heavenly Platform Mystical Realm, Huang Xiaolong shuttles back and forth in a vast virgin forest. The place visited, another Heavenly Monster, another iron beast, another severe demon, Devil pounds to fall the ground unceasingly. The Huang Xiaolong goal is very clear, mainly hunts and kills Heavenly Monarch Mid Rank and Heavenly Monarch High Rank, moreover is mainly Heavenly Monarch Seventh Order. Occasionally, if meets some Heavenly Monarch First Order, Second Order in side, solves conveniently, as for the God King boundary, Huang Xiaolong was disinclined to begin. From beginning to end, Huang Xiaolong has not used Divine Spark Divine Force, mortal body strength of Yuan Dragon God body uses purely broken, Huang Xiaolong has not even used including the Demon God bloodlines. By Huang Xiaolong now Yuan Dragon God body of mortal body strength, is ordinary Heavenly Monarch Tenth Order Initial Stage Heavenly Monster, is a fist bang explodes. The Huang Xiaolong integral still at an exceptional pace steadily rose.
4000, 5000, 6000, 10,000, 20,000. Huang Xiaolong that was listed fourth, the score approaches third Light Royal Child Lan Tailong more and more. The Bright Emperor Palace audiences Old Ancestor heart clutches to tighten. One hour of after past. The Huang Xiaolong name once more ray big quake, with the Lan Tailong transformation that was listed third, arranged the third position, but third Blue Dragon extremely fell fourth! All people are shocked. At this time, from the beginning taunted Huang Xiaolong to walk the dog, the Solitary Emperor Palace people who the excrement transported already did not have the sound. Nine Dragon Emperor Palace Chen Jianwei, Chen Huoan and the others the double fist grip tightly, both eyes glitters is letting the person palpitation the ray. Zhao Lei, Fang Xuanxuan, Li Shan does not have the sound, Demon Martial Emperor Palace Mo Xiao, Emperor Wu demon Palace Peng Yi and the others both eyes scalding hot to stare at the list, the chest seems having any thing to fluctuate. In Heavenly Platform Mystical Realm, sky over a plain, sparkles one group of huge white rays, the white ray is turning into sharp swords, then shoots to the world square violent, all around dozens Heavenly Monster severe wounds fly upside down in abundance. The Light Royal Child Lan Tailong form reveals show up to come, his both eyes full is the malignant influences, the complexion cloudy and cold exceptionally, speak unhurriedly and clearly said: "Yellow, is small, dragon!" He expensive is Bright Emperor Palace Royal Child, this time by the first three candidates who the people favor, now, is pressed by Huang Xiaolong unexpectedly in the top of the head! "It seems like, wanted to be earnest." The Lan Tailong cold sound track, both eyes such as two Baitaiyang, bloomed the intense white ray, flash moved the world. Originally, he thinks that this preliminary contest, he moves casually starts, can enter first three, but now one hour, he not only withdrew first three, but also was surpassed by Huang Xiaolong! Is Huang Xiaolong! This is his shame! Is the Bright Emperor Palace shame! "Kills!" Lan Tailong behind presented ten wings, is condensed ten big wings that by the Light sacred energy, ten wings move, Lan Tailong figure does not fluctuate, has left behind dozens remnant shades above the entire plain, then, that dozens formerly were split by the Heavenly Monster in abundance violent of severely wounded flying upside down, was decomposed the innumerable blocks by the innumerable Light sharp swords.


Publication details: Cambridge University Press, 2017.
Abstract: While ballads have been a cornerstone of popular music for decades, this is the first book to explore the history and appeal of these treasured songs. David Metzer investigates how and why the styles of ballads have changed over a period of more than seventy years, offering a definition of the genre and discussing the influences of celebrated performers, including Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston. The emotional power of the ballad is strongly linked to the popular mood of the time, and consequently songs can tell us much about how events and emotions were felt and understood in wider culture at specific moments of recent American history. Tracing both the emotional and stylistic developments of the genre from the 1950s to the present day, this lively and engaging volume is as much a musical history as it is a history of emotional life in America.

Online Casino Jargon
Are you looking to take a few spins at the online slot machines but don't know your scatters from your wilds? Perhaps you are eager for some hands at the poker tables but are struggling to tell the difference between the flop and the river.
We know that there are specific terms to all types of casino play that can be confusing at times. That's why we've published the following glossary which will aim to cut through the jargon and provide you with a more comfortable and entertaining experience when you next log on at Unibet to play online casino.
This is a term that is primarily used in lottery and keno games. All or Nothing means that all numbers on the ticket have to be matched in order for a cash prize to be awarded.
A bankroll merely applies to the amount of money that you take into a game. Most commonly, this term will be applied to poker.
Basic Slots
Slot machines can become very complex but when they first appeared online, they followed a simple pattern. In general, these games featured one, solitary payline and a fixed jackpot that didn't change. They still exist and are commonly referred to as 'basic slots'.
Bonus Symbols
In modern slot games there will almost always be a bonus round and these are triggered by landing special symbols. These might be linked to the theme of the slot or they could simply feature the game's logo. The important point is to check and be certain as to which symbols activate the bonus.
Cascading Reels
Also known as 'tumbling reels' this is a bonus feature that applies to some slot machines. When a win lands, symbols will disappear and be replaced by others with the hope of providing a follow up win. The reels are said to 'cascade' or tumble.
A bonus or set of bonuses is usually offered by a casino to add value to a customer's account. This could be a welcome bonus such as free spins or a match on an opening deposit. Alternatively, bonuses can reward existing customers through loyalty programmes or one-off deals.
Casino Tournament
Tournaments are available in certain areas of a casino or bingo site. Like all tournaments, they are offering players the chance to take on other account holders for the chance to win a prize.
Poker tournaments are the most common, as far as the casinos are concerned but it is possible to find competitions for slot play too.
Column Bet
This is a term used in roulette and it applies to a bet placed on a certain column of numbers.
When casino sites talk about coins, they are referring to your stake. So, if you have taken a bet on the slots, you have staked a certain number of 'coins' ahead of each spin.
This term relates to poker games and cards that are available to all players. In a game such as Texas Hold'Em, two cards are dealt face down and three community cards will then be dealt face up for all players to form hands.
This is the pocket on a roulette wheel marked as 00. It can only appear in the American Roulette version.
En Prison
This is a term that is specific to the game of French roulette. The phrase literally translates as being 'in prison' and, when a zero lands, it allows players to take back half of their stake or leave it in prison to bet on the next spin.
Scroll down a little to read the description of a wild symbol and its effect on a slot machine game. A standard wild will only occupy one position but when it expands, it can cover an entire reel.
This is the first of the community cards in a poker game. So called because it flopped down onto the table, it's the third card available to players.
A free spins round is a common bonus feature in slot machines. Players will usually need to land a certain number of special symbols, known as the Scatter, in order to activate a certain number of free spins.
High-Roller
A high roller is a player who deposits and plays through large amounts of money at a casino.
A jackpot is the biggest prize available in any game. It will commonly apply to slot machines but it can also refer to poker, bingo, roulette and even sports betting. There are two types of jackpot - a fixed sum is clearly listed and doesn't alter while a progressive jackpot can increase.
Line Bet
A casino slot game will have paylines which we will explain just a little further down. A line bet is the sum of money staked on each line.
A multiplier applies to certain bonus features in a slot machine and it has the capacity to increase any win. For example, a 2x multiplier doubles the return, a 3x multiplier trebles it and so on.
A payline is any invisible line along the reels of a slot machine. Matching symbols must align along this line for a cash prize to be awarded.
Payouts refer to any area of gambling whether it's casino, bingo or sportsbook. This term literally refers to the amount of money won by the player.
Before tackling any casino game, we'd like to know the prizes that are at stake. A paytable is commonly used in slot machines and it simply lists the cash sum that you will win for matching symbols along those paylines.
This term relates to the slots in a roulette wheel where the ball may land. In European and French Roulette, there are 36 pockets in total while in the American version, there is a 37th pocket for that double zero.
Progressive Casino Slots
We've briefly mentioned progressive jackpots but how, exactly, do they work? Rather than offer a top prize from one specific casino, a progressive jackpot takes a small percentage of stakes from all players using the slot machine in question and this sum comes from a number of operators.
Because of this, the jackpot increases continually until the point when it is won.
In slot machines, reels are simply the set of wheels on which the game is played.
The river is another community card in the more common versions of poker. Occasionally known as fifth street, this is the fifth and final card in the round and once it is revealed, results are declared.
A scatter is an important symbol in a slot machine as it will usually lead to a bonus round. A scatter is so called because it doesn't have to align along a payline for the feature to be triggered. As long as the required number of symbols drop in, they can be 'scattered' across the reels.
Select Lines
Some slot machines allow players to select the paylines that they wish to bet on. This is an uncommon feature of the game and it's known as select lines.
Shifting Wilds
In contrast to a sticky wild which is explained below, a shifting wild stays on the reels but it can move its exact position.
Scatter Pay
A scatter pay bonus feature is when a slot sets a specific symbol on the reels that payout regardless of what the others symbols are
The number of paylines selected on an online casino slot
Similar to sticky wilds but with the added extra that they shift around the wheels with each spin.
Quite simply, a spin is a turn of the reels in a slot machine game. Click the button and the reels will spin into action.
Stacked wilds are similar to expanding wilds in the sense that they stack and take up more than one position on the reels.
Sticky Wilds
A sticky wild literally 'sticks' to the reels and will stay in position when a player spins the reels. This has the benefit of keeping that wild symbol in place and increasing the chances of winning.
A street bet is a roulette term and it relates to a bet on a series of three numbers. This will be in a line and the player indicates the bet by placing their chips on the edge of that row.
A symbol is an image on the slot machine. Each game carries a set of different symbols and the object is to match them along a payline in order to win a cash prize.
The turn is a vital stage in a game of poker. This is the fourth out of five community cards.
A wagering requirement is usually applied to a bonus offer from a casino or sportsbook. Terms will vary according to the offer but in general, players will need to wager through the amount of the bonus a certain number of times before any profits can be withdrawn.
Most slot machines have a wild symbol and its role is to substitute for others on the reels. This offers a higher chance of finding a matching combination when that wild arrives. As a general rule, the wild won't be able to replace other bonus symbols such as the scatter.

The list is 5.2Mb in size so it really isn't very big at all, but for some reason when I do:
mydf <- Reduce(function(...) merge(..., all=T), mylist)

I wait for like 5-10min and then get an error message that says I've reached my memory limit!
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 88.7 Mb
Warning messages:
1: In `[.data.frame`(x, c(m$xi, if (all.x) m$x.alone), c(by.x,  ... :

# The warning message repeats 12 times...

The data frame I've created is 8Gb in size!  I have no idea why this is happening. I tried
mydf <- reshape::merge_all(mylist)

But the same thing happens.
Everything works smoothly when I do
mylist <- mylist[1:10]
mydf <- Reduce(function(...) merge(..., all=T), mylist)

So I'm thinking that this code just is not scalable, but honestly 5.2Mb seems pretty small as I've worked with lists over 300Mb in r before.
Any suggestions for getting this to work?

Last week I fitted the last composite door into display in showroom at the unit.I now have 8 composite doors on display all in a row 4 Solidor & 4 Doorstop slabs. I have also fitted one of the new slam shut Solidor doors so customers can try before they buy and a Doorstop half glazed door as my front door to unit. The slam shut door has a auto lock which locks when the door is shut which is designed for the Italia range of doors which don't have a traditional handle.
I also have a 3 pane Bi folding door with a low aluminum threshold, French doors with side lights, a white wood grain French door,a standard back door, a triple glazed window , a Irish oak cupboard door and a window with integral blinds which look great in Bi Fold doors.
I think its important for customers to come and try the different types of doors out and see for themselves which options work best for them as it can be difficult to decide looking at brochures.
I also have 3 different types of internal shutters which will compliment either new windows we have fitted or existing windows. The new Elite range of vinyl shutters are my personal favorites when matched with our windows.
I still have a few finishing touches to complete, a roof Lantern and the new Rehau flush fitting sash once it is released. So this week the showroom is now open and myself or Emma will be happy to show old or new customers our new range of products.


Some of the Beacon wrapping Easter Hampers Last Year.
Over the past 3 years, the Beacon Missional Community has been giving Easter Hampers of chocolate eggs, cakes and other food treats to families and individuals, in and around Shirley, who are struggling with their finances.
We are working alongside local organisations like SCRATCH, Christians Against Poverty and Southampton City Mission and are seeking to build relationships through our bi-monthly Supper Clubs. As we try and bring hope, help and support, we are aiming to demonstrate the love of Jesus and our prayer is that in time we will see people come to faith.
Can you help by donating some food items for Easter Hampers this year? We are planning to package everything up on Wednesday 21st March in the Parish Hall from 7pm. Any donations can be brought to church or the Parish Office before that date, clearly marked "Beacon Hampers". Please check that all items have a use by date that is after Easter, as it may take us a week or so to complete deliveries. We'd also love it if anyone would like to come and help us pack; we'll be chatting and eating cake as we gift wrap the parcels! Offers of help with deliveries are also appreciated.

Q: Make inner div 100% width of body I want the child div width to be 100% of the body.
CSS
#container {
    position:relative;
    width:400px;
    height:100px;
    margin:0 auto;
    background:red;
}
#inner {
    width:100%;
    height:30px;
    background:blue;
}

HTML

Here is the fiddle
I'm using position:relative for parent div and the position:absolute; solution is not working. How can I do this? Js solutions are acceptable.

A: Check this fiddle
CSS
body {
    margin-top:30px;
}
#container {
    width:400px;
    height:100px;
    margin:0 auto;
    background:red;
}
#inner {
    width:100%;
    height:20px;
    background:blue;
    position:absolute;
    right:0;
    left:0;
}

You just have to remove the position:relative from the container div and everything will work as expected
AND
I dont think there is a need for writing JS for this as this can be just obtained using CSS.

A: In html, if you have an element inside of a container while using % it will respect the containers boundaries.
So, no sure why Lal was downvoted. but his solution works.
Especially because your container is relative, the absolute container will be absolute to the container and not the body itself. You could remove position: relative; on the container and it will work that way, but it depends on what you want to do.

Teesside has produced many an actor to be proud of on stage and screen.
But if you've ever fancied a career treading the boards or in front of the cameras, now's your chance.
An acting school is calling for all budding thespians to get in touch and apply for the chance of a free scholarship to learn more about the craft of acting.
The DJW School of Acting, run by Stockton born actor Daniel John Williams, provides a training programme and casting platform for people based in and around our region, especially Teesside through weekly classes, workshops and tuition for anyone who is serious about a career in theatre, film or telly.
The deadline for applications is November 19 and the programme is open to people of all ages and from all walks of life.
Actors who have come through DJW have so far been involved in auditions for shows including Game of Thrones, detective series Vera, soap Hollyoaks and TV adverts.
When he established the school three years ago, DJW was backed by hardman footballer-turned-Hollywood-actor Vinnie Jones who Daniel starred alongside in the 2014 comedy gangster film Redirected.
Daniel started acting at the age of seven and has toured the country in theatre shows and plays as well as appearing on TV in the likes of Doctors and Casualty to name just a few. He is passionate about discovering new talent and believes Teesside has a pool to offer.
"The DJW School is all about acting. It was set up in 2015 and the idea was to try and offer more opportunities to people in the North east, mainly Teesside." said Daniel.
The scholarships are open to budding actors from all walks of life and all ages and DJW, which runs classes at Acklam Hall in Middlesbrough and Stockton Town FC in Bishopton Road, Stockton will be holding auditions.


lucas + peyton + brooke | who's standing 다음 to you?
The fans pick: 브루카스 friendship.
The fans pick: "Don't 당신 mean Peyton Scott?"
The fans pick: "They make us believe again"
The fans pick: "Took 당신 long enough"
I know a lot of 당신 사랑 leyton for some reason but I never was a leyton fan, for so many reasons but the main/big reason is it's FAKE don't hate me because it's a fact, here's how it's fake: Lucas had always had a "thing" for Peyton but it was from a distant he never actually talked to her 또는 knew her interest 또는 anything about her. Neither did she Peyton in a later season says the first time she saw him she fell for him (where that come from she has been seeing him her whole life they were in the same school since they were kids, so when exactly did she fell for him???).
So… with the recent news that I suspected I was beginning to like BL, I have received numerous questions, and concerns (out of pure shock) from not only my fellow LP fans, but BL 팬 as well. So I thought I would take the time to just further explain, and clear up what my official viewpoint/stance on the couples are!
브루카스 would have been a better end-game, really. Still, there's no need to complain about what-could-have-been. I can still remain steadfast to BL because what they had that kept their relationship intact (even when it seems like Schwann wanted to pretend amnesia when it comes to their love) are elements of perfect timing, effort and honesty; qualities that Leyton fell short on many occasions. LP was given plenty of chances to redeem itself to me, but they were all given away to mediocrity and stereotype. And they still are tacky till the very end.
a comment was made to the poll: So after last nights episode [9x12] can we all agree that Mark/the writers clearly have something against 브루카스 또는 BL 팬 또는 Chad ?!
a comment was made to the poll: Who do 당신 think lucas fought for?
a comment was made to the poll: 브루카스 또는 Leyton?
a comment was made to the poll: Leyton fans: Was there ever a time during the BLP 삼각형 that 당신 were "team Brooke"?


There are two board members responsible for all contact with the business partners of the FSA. The Externals are in charge of the continuing the contact with our current partners, for acquiring new partners and for the sale of our promotional opportunities. They will visit every partner during the summer and discuss the possibilities for next year, among which the participation for our events. Further, they strive to continually improve the social media branding of the FSA.
During my bachelor Business Administration, I have had the opportunity to learn about many business aspects. Not only have I become acquainted with organization theories, I have also had some first moments of contacts with interesting companies. Since these first impressions, I have always enjoyed learning more about companies in practice. Since my bachelor had come to an end, I had to find a new challenge where I could develop my professional skills. Being a board member of the FSA is the perfect challenge to maximize my development. The professional environment of the FSA is the ideal opportunity to meet and work with highly motivated students. As a board member, responsible for a wide range of successful projects, I will boost my professional as well as my social skills. Within my position as External Relations I hope to expand my professional network, while at the same time creating value for the FSA by turning every opportunity into a positive-sum long term relationship. By doing so, I will facilitate the important link between interesting companies and ambitious students. I look forward to working with my fellow External Relations, David, to make this link even better!

As houseofroberts posted yesterday evening, the GOOPERS can't get out of their own way. It is painfully obvious that Trump has no glimmer of what this 'governing' thing is supposed to look like. He is calling for a clean repeal, apparently not understanding that it would take sixty effing Senate votes to do that…dumbass.
This is the logical outcome of appointing unqualified hacks to cabinet positions, when said appointee has only the dismantling of the department as the goal.
The Watering Hole, Tuesday July 5, 2016 – Environmental News and Food Politics.
A coal company wants to blame Obama for a 21% cut in workforce, when in reality it is fracked natural gas that power companies are shifting to.
My grandfather who I never met died when my mother was a child of black lung disease. It is an occupation that I would not wish on anyone. Pollutes the hell out of water when mined and air when burned, and surface mining can obliterate landscapes. Sierra Club has been fighting coal for years. Beyond coal.
"Beisner is a CFACT [Committee For a Constructive Tomorrow] board member and an "adjunct fellow" of the Acton Institute, which is primarily funded by groups like ExxonMobil, the Scaife foundations and the Koch brothers. Beisner is also an adviser to the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, which is financed by the oil-backed Earthart Foundation, the Koch brothers, and ExxonMobil.
In fact, Beisner is not a scientist and has no scientific credentials. Despite claiming to be an authority on energy and environmental issues, he received his Ph.D. in Scottish History.
9. We affirm that by God's design Earth and its physical and biological systems are robust, resilient, and self-correcting.
20. We affirm that human multiplication and filling of the Earth are intrinsically good (Genesis 1:28) and that, in principle, children, lots of them, are a blessing from God to their faithful parents and the rest of the Earth (Psalm 127; 128).
21. We affirm that when the Bible speaks of God's judgment on human societies because they have "polluted the land," the "pollution" in mind is consistently not chemical or biological but moral—the pollution of idolatry, adultery, murder, oppression of the weak, and other violations of the moral law of God expressed in the Ten Commandments (Psalm 106:38; Jeremiah 3:1–10; 16:18).
22. We affirm that cost/benefit analysis (Luke 14:28) is a proper and critically important aspect of godly dominion over the Earth (Proverbs 14:4).
"President Obama continues pushing the United States toward the brink by forging ahead with plans to fight the global warming that hasn't happened in at least the last 17 years, using measures that will cost $trillions by mid-century but will cause no significant reduction in global temperature by the end of the century.
One of President Obama's means to force the environmentalist agenda on Americans is The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Its war on coal destroyed between 13,000 and 17,000 direct and indirect jobs in 2012 alonedue to announced coal plant closures. Fast forward to 2014 and the EPA has announced a regulation that would effectively kill the coal industry. Any new coal power plant built, whether to replace or add to existing plants, must meet an emissions standard that is impossible with current technology.
This is our daily open thread, so discuss whatever you'd like.
Economics will drive the change. What, the wind is free? The sun is free? OK so I build with wind turbines and solar panels rather than coal or gas fired turbines with the same amount of investment? You mean my fuel is really, really free? Where do I sign?
The below link is some food for thought.
Does your state have a Koch problem?
. . . ban on fracking [which] was finally completed Friday [October 11], as its constitutional court upheld a 2011 law prohibiting the practice and canceling all exploration permits. The decision posted on the court's website said the ban "conforms to the constitution" and is not "disproportionate," effectively protecting it from any future legal challenge.
U.S. driller Schuepbach Energy brought its complaint to the court after two of its exploration permits were revoked due to the ban. Schuepbach attempted to argue that since no study had established fracking risks, there was no cause for the ban, and that since fracking isn't banned for geothermal energy projects, it was unfair. The court didn't find that convincing, citing the differences between geothermal and shale gas exploration.
Well, it is the French after all. How did Mark Twain put it? Something like, 'man was originally created on the level of the angels but has been slipping ever since to where now he's somewhere between the angels and the French.' Oh well, no more French Fries will surely serve to improve our nation's health.
Then there were a pair of surprises . . . BIG surprises, given the political bent of the two states. First, New Arizona Solar Plant Uses Salt To Keep Producing Electricity When The Sun Goes Down . . .
The 280 megawatt (MW) Solana solar plant just came online in Arizona, with one unique distinction: for the first time in the U.S., the plant will use a 'salt battery' that will allow it to keep generating electricity even when the sun isn't shining.
The three-square-mile commercial-scale facility near Gila Bend, Arizona will use thermal energy storage, in the form of a molten salt system, to continue producing clean energy without sunlight. "This technology enables Solana to produce electricity at full capacity for up to six hours after sunset, including the early evening hours when customer demand for power typically peaks in Arizona," according to an Arizona Public Service (APS) press release.
This is a big step forward from the more common solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, which requires direct sunlight to create electricity.
And . . . not only is the Solana plant a technological breakthrough in terms of thermal energy storage, it's also the largest plant in the world to use to use parabolic trough mirrors to concentrate solar energy. This concentrated solar power (CSP) technology uses the mirrors to focus the sun's heat on pipes, heating a synthetic oil that flows to boilers, which create the steam that drives two 140 MW turbines to produce electricity, much like a traditional power plant.
And then, miracle of miracles, there's this from, of all places, Inhofe's Oklahoma: Oklahoma Utility Buys 600 MW Of Wind Power To 'Provide Substantial Savings To Our Customers' . . .
Oklahomans will soon be paying less for their electricity because their utility looked at the market and decided that wind power would be the most cost-effective option.
On Thursday, the 100-year-old Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) — a division of American Electric Power (AEP) — signed an agreement to buy 600 megawatts of power from wind farms being developed in the northwestern part of the state. Currently there is just one large-scale wind farm in the Panhandle and in almost two years, there will be three more.
"The Panhandle of Oklahoma truly is one of the mother lodes of wind in this country," said Clean Line Energy Partners President Michael Skelly.
The initial plan was just to buy one 200 MW project, but PSO tacked on another 400 MW "after seeing extraordinary pricing opportunities that will lower utility costs by an estimated $53 million in the first year and even more thereafter," according to Tulsa World.
The Renewable Energy Purchase Agreement means that on January 1, 2016, 600 megawatts of wind energy will be available, enough to power 200,000 average American homes. This is pending the approval of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
So. Progress seems to be on the move. At least one country has said absolutely NO to any and all fracking, and in the US, electric utilities in a pair of deeply red states are seriously advancing the renewable energy programs which, with persistence and a little bit of luck will one day in the not too distant future overwhelm the fossil fuel industries once and for all and for good.
And finally, this pertinent 'footnote': Renewable Energy Patents Booming, Led By Solar And Wind.
" . . . while patents in fossil fuel technologies grew modestly, and nuclear technology remained flat, between 2004 and 2009 the number of patents issued annually for solar energy increased by 13 percent per year, while those for wind energy increased 19 percent per year on average.
It appears as though THE major capitalist driving force may be coming into play in the energy world: Profit! Imagine the consequences . . . cleaner air, less environment destruction, not to mention a great many less Republicans to stand in the way of thoughtful progress. Of course, someone will have to clean up the mess left behind by all the slashed wrists, but I'm sure that's a more manageable task than, say, cleaning up the mess left behind by a leaky oil pipeline.

Q: Windows 8 Spell checking provider I'm trying to implement my own Spell Check provider for Windows 8. I have a class which receives a word and returns the correct word, however, I cannot find the class or function in the Spell Checking Provider Sample by Microsoft where I receive the user input string and return for it the correction.

A: Since you are implementing a spell checking provider, you will be implementing the ISpellCheckProvider interface. (In the sample you refer to, this is implemented by the SampleSpellCheckProvider class)
There are actually two phases for spell checking. The first is checking to see whether some text contains any errors and the second is providing suggestions.
The first phase happens in the call to Check. In this you are provided the text to check and you return a class which implements IEnumSpellingError that class should cache the text and return any errors that it finds in calls to Next. (You can find an implementation of IEnumSpellingError in the EnumSpellingError class in the sample. In the sample, it ends up calling EngineCheck on the provider (an internal method) which calls FindFirstError on SampleEngine -- the actual checking and suggesting being isolated into the SampleEngine.h file while the others focus on the infrastructure)
The second phase happens in the call to Suggest. In this you are given a word and return the set of suggestions as a class which implements IEnumString.

The Pageantry of the Peninsula Manila
Among the many hotels today in Metro Manila, few could match the iconic presence of the Peninsula Manila Hotel. Sure, it does not have a towering presence that many hotels in the metropolis command (both wings of the hotel only are 11 floors high), but it has managed to make quite an imprint in the cityscape thanks to its design, location, and history.
The facade facing Apartment Drive
Let's start with the history part. The hotel was built in the mid-1970s to be one of the venues where the delegates of the forthcoming annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund Board in 1976 (set to be held in Manila) will be staying. The driving force behind the hotel's construction is the Peninsula Hotel group, one of the famous hoteliers in Hong Kong behind the renowned hotel the Peninsula.
The iconic Peninsula Hong Kong (image courtesy of The Peninsula)
The Manila site is actually going to be the Peninsula's first hotel outside Hong Kong. And it wanted to make that first venture a good one. It tapped the services of one of the country's foremost architects of the time. No, it's not Leandro Locsin but actually Gabriel Formoso, the same architect behind the Club Filipino in San Juan and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas building along Manila Bay. The mistake can be forgiven since Formoso at that time employed brutalist architecture in his works, and the Peninsula Manila was no exception.
But on that matter, some will point out the famous fountain cascading fountains at the hotel's exterior at the corner of Ayala and Makati Avenues. In reality though, that was a product of the later renovations made to the hotel by Formoso in the 1990s, which resulted in a disconnect in design between the brutalist original and the neoclassical additions. (including the grand entrance/podium at the back along Apartment Drive) Nevertheless, the fountains have become such a landmark in the Makati business district that the moment you see it, you know you are in the heart of the metropolis' premier financial district.
The opening of the hotel was an exciting time for the Makati CBD as 3 other hotels opened around the same period in the 1970s: Hotel Intercontinental Manila, Mandarin Oriental Manila, and Manila Garden Hotel, which we now know today as Dusit Thani. However, with the many changes that have marked the Makati CBD since then, only Peninsula Manila and Dusit Thani stand as remnants of that period of growth and have largely remained the same appearance-wise.
The Peninsula Manila Hotel was a smash hit for locals and tourists alike. This buoyed the Peninsula Group to go further in its international expansion plans, eventually putting up Peninsula hotels in New York, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Beverly Hills. As for the hotel itself, it would go on to figure in history anew on November 29, 2007, when a group led by former Philippine Navy officer, detained mutineer, and then newly-elected senator Antonio Trillanes IV walked out of court and sieged the hotel to call for the ouster of then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. It turned out to be a one-day affair however, when armored fighting vehicles of the Philippine military stormed the lobby, causing Trillanes and his group to surrender. Hotel operations resumed a few days later.

That particular incident aside, the Peninsula Manila remains one of Manila's top hotels of choice. Its lobby is perhaps one of the most iconic and scenic lobbies one can find in Manila hotels. It also helps that it hosts two popular dining and entertainment places: the Filipino restaurant Escolta and the popular bar/lounge Salon de Ning.

It would not be an overstatement to say that the Peninsula Manila has made a deep imprint in the cityscape that it has become an indelible part of the city in the process. One can only hope that it will remain to be an iconic part of the cityscape in the years to come, despite the possibility of a wrecking ball before it hits its 50th. Crossing fingers that it will not happen.

What a long, tiring month it has been. The month has consisted of a few problems (nothing I can't handle) one of which has kept me for accomplishing my writing (as well as my upgrading.) That problem is the simple fact that my power supply on my computer quit working on me.
I think that this was an interesting eye-opener for me and it showed me how reliant I have become on technology. I keep remembering a time in my life when I enjoyed the time outside and would spend most of my days out enjoying the wonders that nature had. I think that it is time that I started to do more outside and spend less time in front of my computer, although every time I think that it rarely happens.
I can relate. We had that happen, our desktop and laptops all had to go to the tech to get fixed. My cell wasn't online at time, boy did I miss the internet! I could only check online at the local library or at a friends. I did notice I spent more time outside and my house became very clean! I had to keep moving to survive the internet withdrawal. Now I aim for balance, but I sure learned how much I rely on the internet.
When my computer starts to crash frequently, I turn it off, open it up and get the dust out of the inside, with a soft rubber bristled brush (so I don't mess the electrics) and a hairdryer set on cold air with a low setting to blow out the dust I can't reach. When a computer is running all day, every day, like mine, it gathers a LOT of dust and that clogs up the cooling fans. A bit of dusting - and the computer is as good as new!
I found out that dust was what had caused my power supply to stop working. As soon as I get paid I am going to buy a can of air and keep one on hand so that this doesn't happen (as my computer is on mostly all day.) I don't think I would have ever thought to use a hair dryer but I think that is something that I am going to have to try.
I was like super cleaner for the week :) I think that I am going to have to find some balance for more then just the internet time. I work outside the home and between that and the internet (oh the TV contributes too) my house frequently gets neglected due to mainly my procrastination.
It's amazing (and a little frightening) how dependent we have become on computers and in a relatively short period of time. Two generations ago computers were something for big business and scientific research but now everyone has one.

Bipartisan Concern Grows on Capitol Hill Over Iran Nuclear Deal
Leah Barkoukis
@LeahBarkoukis
Posted: Nov 24, 2013 11:40 AM
Reactions to the Iranian nuclear deal that President Obama hailed as an "important first step toward a comprehensive solution" have been mixed, to say the least. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has perhaps been most outspoken against the deal, calling it a "historic mistake" and saying that by "lifting the pressure, this "first step" might be the last step." Shortly after the deal was announced last night he also reminded America:
The real Iran is led by a leader who once again attacked the United States and was responded to with chants of "Death to America" 2/2
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) November 21, 2013
And today, his account has been 'Tweet blasting' excerpts from his statement on the deal, which according to an official from Netanyahu's office, "gives Iran exactly what it wanted—a significant reduction of sanctions while preserving the most significant part of its nuclear program."
But Netanyahu is not the only one to criticize the deal—there's also bipartisan concern in Congress:
Rep. Ed Royce:
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), the chairman of the [House Foreign Affairs Committee], said that the economic sanctions against Iran were clearly working and should be intensified until Iran agreed to give up its nuclear program.
"Until they do that, they're still on the road to having the capability for undetectable nuclear weapons break out," Royce said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"And that's the bottom line: We just feel more pressure needs to be brought on Iran, rather than to make this deal and take the pressure off."
Rep. Eliot Engel:
Rep. Eliot Engel (N.Y.), the committee's top Democrat, said Congress needed to do what it could to make the deal work. But Engel was also clearly disappointed that the deal didn't explicitly bar Iran from enriching uranium, and said that sanctions would still have to be on the table.
"I don't think you make them bargain in good faith by going squishy," Engel said.
Rep. Mike Rogers:
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said the new Iran nuclear agreement "rewarded very bad and dangerous behavior."
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said that the agreement, which gives limited relief from sanctions against Iran, softened the one policy that was pressuring Tehran.
"We may have just encouraged more violence in the future than we have stopped," Rogers said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Sen. Bob Corker:
"My greatest concerns are seeing follow-through," Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told "Fox News Sunday." "This administration is very big on announcements and less so on following through. [Iran] is spiking the ball in the end zone."
He also repeatedly said he didn't want the interim deal to "become the norm."
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md:
Corker was joined on the show by Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., also a member of the chamber's foreign relations committee.
"We are very concerned as to whether Iran will live up to these agreements," Cardin said. "Congress needs to be prepared."
Both suggested that Capitol Hill is prepared to reinstate sanctions that have been lifted in the deal and impose new ones.
Sen. Marco Rubio:
"By allowing the Iranian regime to retain a sizable nuclear infrastructure, this agreement makes a nuclear Iran more likely. There is now an even more urgent need for Congress to increase sanctions until Iran completely abandons its enrichment and reprocessing capabilities."
"This agreement shows other rogue states that wish to go nuclear that you can obfuscate, cheat, and lie for a decade, and eventually the United States will tire and drop key demands. Iran will likely use this agreement - and any that follows that does not require any real concessions - to obtain a nuclear weapons capability."
The nuclear deal, as Foreign Policy notes, "represents the biggest gamble of President Barack Obama's presidency, and the success or failure of that bet will have serious repercussions for the administration's standing on Capitol Hill, Washington's relationships with Israel and other Middle Eastern allies, and the national security of the United States itself."

Piqua football finishes 1950 season 6-3
Wertz to focus on AD duties
Duane Bachman
THE HISTORY OF PIQUA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS – A JOURNAL
"A hard hitting Central high school team that was as strong offensively as it was weak on defense surged to a 38-20 win over Dayton Roosevelt Friday in the season's opener for both schools in Dayton's new westside stadium. The Indians, paced by fullback Bill Ashton who rambled to four touchdowns, two on runs of 84 and 50 yards, scored in every period of the slam-bang contest to beat Roosevelt at their own game. Piqua's best defense was its offense as the Indians scored, were scored upon and then went on to score some more. Scoring the first time they laid hands on the ball, Central high school's explosive Indians marched to a 33-7 win over a bulky Wapakoneta eleven Friday in the first game of the season at the east end stadium. The Indians, led by Kenny Thorpe who reeled off touchdown runs of 65 and 22 yards in the first half, were speed and deception itself as they piled up a 26-0 third quarter lead and coasted through to the final gun."
"Central High school's Redskins opened Miami Valley League action Friday with a hard-won 33-19 victory over an Xenia eleven which matched the Indians touchdown-for-touchdown for two periods. The Indians, behind 13-6 at the end of the first quarter, came back to break a 19-19 halftime tie with single touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters."
"Defeat, no matter how bitter, is usually earned and Central high school's Redskins earned themselves a 20-13 lacing at the hands of a wide-awake Sidney eleven before a sellout crowd at Roosevelt Stadium here Friday. Two mistakes cost the Redskins the ball game and their first defeat of the season. One, a rule infraction, cost Piqua a third touchdown and the other, a blocked punt recovered by Sidney, finished the Piqua collapse. Sidney, a defensive juggernaut all evening, won out in the last four minutes of play as Omer Bolden, a defensive tackle fell on a blocked punt in the end zone for the touchdown that broke a 13-13 tie."
"Scoring at least once in every period of play, Central High school's Redskins outclassed a decidedly weaker Troy team 39-12 Friday night before a crowd of 9,000 in Troy's Memorial Stadium. Kenny Thorpe, who before Friday's contest saw only limited offensive action, racked up three of Piqua's six touchdowns as the Redskins won the 54th meeting of the traditional rivals since 1909. Bill Ashton, 'Mr. Inside' of the Tribe's one-two threat of Thorpe and Ashton, scored two Piqua touchdowns, and end Dick Blayney tallied a sixth on a pass from Quarterback Tony Tafel. The contest, true to Piqua-Troy form, was a hard-fought affair despite the fact that the Trojans were fighting an uphill battle most of the distance."
"Miamisburg's unbeaten Vikings added number six to their consecutive string of victories here Friday night as the Big Scourage from the South buried Piqua's Indians under an avalanche of passes and a 26-7 score. The Vikings, easily the best team Piqua fans have seen for several seasons, turned the three-hour ball game into an aerial circus, completing 12 of 26 passes, two for touchdowns. Lighting difficulties on the east side of Roosevelt Stadium delayed the Dad's Night contest for nearly 45 minutes before the kickoff and twenty additional minutes before the start of the second quarter. But it wasn't the power failure that caused Piqua to fizzle. The Tribe simply couldn't cut it against a powerful Viking team that was perfection itself."
"Fairmont High school's unbeaten Dragons handed a demoralized Piqua team its worst defeat in seven seasons Friday night as the defending Miami Valley League champions surged to a 47-14 victory before an amazed crowd at Fairmont Stadium. The defeat, fourth worst in Coach G. P. Wertz' 26 years at Piqua, was the second in a row for the down-trodden Indians who could do nothing right all evening. A 76-yard punt return and an 80-yard pass play, both executed by halfback Kenny Thorpe, saved the Tribe from a whitewashing as Fairmont, always the opportunist, capitalized upon endless Piqua mistakes to score seven touchdowns."
"Scoring at least once in every period, an injury riddled Central High school team romped to a 32-6 win over hapless Oakwood in the final home game of the season Thursday night. The Indians, who won their third Miami Valley League game despite the presence of reserves in the lineup most of the way, snapped a two game losing streak in the colorless contest. A crowd of about 4,000 fans, comprised largely of home town fans, witnessed the Piqua victory."
"Central High school's Redskins closed out the 1950 football season Friday night with a 46-7 rout of Greenville before a small crowd of topcoated fans at windswept Harmon Field. A 27 point second quarter carried the Tribe to its fourth Miami Valley League win of the season as the Indians blew up a storm rivaled only by the chilling wind and snow which harassed spectators. The Red and Blue gained 316 net yards through the Greenville line, scored seven touchdowns and converted four times. They also won their sixth game of the season – against three defeats."
On December 29, 1950 the following article was published in the Call.
" G.P. (Buck) Wertz, head football coach since 1925, resigned today to devote full time to the athletic directorship of the Piqua school. The resignation of Wertz, dean of Miami Valley League coaches, was announced today by Supt. of Schools C.M. Sims. Wertz's letter of resignation was approved by the Board of Education Thursday. Wertz, who celebrated his silver anniversary here a year ago, has been a football coach 18 years, including 26 seasons as head coach here. He will continue as Athletic Director, track coach and teacher of science, Supt. Sims added today.
"In 26 years at Piqua, Wertz' teams have won 165 games, lost 63 and have played 21 tie games. Piqua grid teams, under Wertz, have won or shared the Miami Valley League title ten times, more than any other school in the league. A successor to Wertz as football coach will be named by school officials before September, Sims said today. Selection will be made only after all candidates have been carefully screened by the Board of Education. We have no one in mind for the job, Sims added today."

Halo 2 Anniversary gets tactical in its launch trailer
Developer 343 Industries has released the launch trailer for its upcoming Halo 2 Anniversary. Created by cinematics specialist Blur Studios, this latest video showcases several stunning scenes from the upcoming remaster, including the Gravemind in all its "tentacle-y" glory.
As you may know, Halo 2 Anniversary is part of a larger remaster compilation – namely Halo: The Master Chief Collection – which also includes Halo: Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4, replete with their full catalogue of extras, including all multiplayer maps and gameplay modes. All four games have received no changes to their original stories or gameplay, although Halo 2's cutscenes have been redone by Blur Studios using pre-rendered CGI, and are slightly longer than they were in the original game. Furthermore, the collection includes a Mission Setlists mode, where players can create and play custom sets of missions from any of the four games. Several weeks ago, developer 343 had mentioned Halo 2 Anniversary includes terminals akin to those found in Halo: Anniversary, which apparently tie into the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians.
"If you remember the terminals from the first Halo: Anniversary where you could find and unlock motion comic-style pieces that filled in story for what was going to happen in Halo 4, we're doing a lot of the same in Halo 2 Anniversary that are going to start to hint at some things that are coming down the line in Halo 5," said Dan Ayoub, 343 Executive Producer. "Our terminals in Halo 2 Anniversary are going to focus on The Arbiter. You'll start to get an idea of his history and a little more about him." Moreover, the game also features brand-new cinematics that tie into the upcoming Halo: Nightfall – the live-action digital series. "We've [also] created bookend cinematics that are going to also start to tie into some of the characters that are going to be in Halo: Nightfall."
Halo: The Master Chief Collection launches on November 11th in North America and November 14th in Europe, exclusively on the Xbox One.

Fraternity History
Chapter Basilei
Chapter Lines
Les Jeunnes Hommes
Tau Upsilon
Founder's Monument
A desire by some neighborhood boys to do community service led to the creation in Alpha Omega of an innovative program to both satisfy this desire and enable the chapter to influence the development of several future Omega men.
In 1960, the chapter set up a program called "Les Jeunes Hommes"–Young Men–in part as a way to develop an interest group among local prospective college entrants, wrote then-Alpha Omega Basileus Wendell Morgan in a letter May 23, 1961, to Grand Counselor Carl A. Earles. James W. Quander, initiated in Alpha Omega in 1958, and the founder of the program said the program grew out of a desire expressed by his son Rohulamin in 1959 and other boys in his neighborhood about a mile from Howard University to do some community work. "My son Ro was in high school at Carroll and had boys interested in community service work who were good friends of his," said Brother Quander. "He said they wanted to do community service work. The first meeting was at my house here," where he still lives. "They were in my scout troop. I asked the fraternity about its interest in doing work with the less fortunate and elderly. [Members of Les Jeunes Hommes] did tutoring and other kinds of things. They came from public and private schools. Some men in the fraternity thought this program had potential for bringing new blood into the frat."
Origin of the Group's Name
The name of the organization came from Brother Rohulamin Quander. "I was studying French at the time, and it seemed a perfect name because that's what we were–young men." The reason the idea caught on, he said, was that "D.C. is a perfect club town. Lots of guys were into clubs, as were girls. The idea of belonging to something and having some kind of name to it was important."
Ro Quander said his inspiration for such a group came when he and his father returned from the 1959 Grand Conclave in New York City. "I came back and felt we needed to have a youth group that could take the principles of the fraternity and get young men in high school involved in the same things as the [fraternity's] cardinal principles called for and get them to take on the responsibilities that went with doing that. I suggested a club that would offer those things and that could be an interest group for the frat. I felt that even if they didn't become members [of the fraternity], we would still have the name of the fraternity out there, taking interest in youth." Alpha Omega had already demonstrated its interest in having some sort of group made up the sons of brothers of the fraternity. In a report issued for the May 8-19, 1959, Third District Meeting in Portsmouth, Va., Alpha Omega Basileus William D. Martin Sr. wrote among the social affairs held by the chapter that year were two parties for sons of Omega men. "The chapter provided the Omega house, the house hi fi system, invitations, and refreshments for the sons of Omega parties," he wrote. These socials were planned by seven Omega sons who were in the high school graduating class of 1958. The first party, which was given in September, provided our sons with an opportunity to get acquainted with Omega before going to college, while the second party, which was given during their Christmas vacation, served as a reunion." Les Jeunes Hommes held its inaugural meeting on January 17, 1960, at the Quanders' home, according to records preserved by James Quander in a scrapbook. At its second meeting February 21, the group developed its constitution and bylaws, using samples of others' documents, and set membership dues at 50 cents a week. James Quander, as well as John Oliver and Baisel Oliver, both members of Alpha Omega, provided advice. Founders of the group petitioned the chapter for official recognition. On March 19, 1960, Alpha Omega agreed to sponsor the group and took it over as one of the chapter's programs. The club's members met for the first time on April 10 at the Washington, D.C., chapter house on Harvard Street with Alpha Omega Chapter members Everett "Cutie" Carter, William Aden, Baisel Oliver, and James Quander. And on May 8, the group's approved its constitution and a crest, Rodin's "The Thinker," which was later used as the design for a patch worn by members on special occasions. Its official introduction to Alpha Omega was on October 21, 1961, when the group presented both its members and gave a gift to the chapter, a punch bowl set, as a token of its appreciation, according to a report of this activity written by the chapter.
The young founders of the group were Rohulamin Quander, Harold Boyd, Alfred Neal, Denis Noble, William Reid, Michael Russel, Ernest Smith Jr., Edward Webster, and Robert Wilson, all students in either public or parochial schools in Washington. Neal was elected the first president, Quander as vice president, Noble as secretary, and Reid as treasurer.
The group focused on students who were in the 11th and 12th grades, as well as freshmen in college. The group did work around the city, including joining other young people from around Washington to lobby the U.S. Congress in February 1962 for more money for D.C. school supplies. The House and Senate Appropriations Committee held the city's purse strings during this time, so young people, such as Les Jeunes Hommes, fanned out across Capitol Hill to try to convince Congress to increase such funding. They also did work at senior citizen homes, as well as painted what was then the Merriweather Home for children waiting for court settlements, located across the street from Howard University and what was then Banneker Junior High. They also did farming at a plot on 14th Street under the aegis of a D.C. Recreation Department program. The fruits and vegetables harvested from that plot were given to low-income families, according to a article reporting on the effort. During the times when the Mardi Gras was held at the D.C. Armory, the group's members parked people's cars and helped them to carry in their bags containing food and drinks.
Brother Kenneth A. Brown, whose oldest brother was in Les Jeunes Hommes, remembers his brother coming home from the Mardi Gras and the excitement in his voice as he talked about the people he had seen and the costumes they wore. "He got in around 2 o'clock in the morning, and all he could talk about was all the purple and gold that was all around the room and all the things he had seen and done that evening–just seeing the men you had seen in the community." Moreover, during the 1961 Grand Conclave, Omega's 50th anniversary celebration, the members of Les Jeunes Hommes had their meetings along with the conclave, as they were in charge of entertaining the youth at the meeting. They had basketball games, splash parties, rooms for entertaining young people, and handled tours of the city. "Everything was well planned," Ro Quander said. "They played the role of providing youth activities." And what were probably the first interracial visits at the fraternity house were held as a result of the Les Jeunes Hommes' efforts, he added. The interracial visits occurred in October 1964, under the umbrella of a program known as "Interracial Home Visit Day." On this day, more than 4,000 African-Americans and whites visited with each other to, according to an October 19, 1964, Washington Post article, "discuss ways of bridging the gap between the races." The Les Jeunes Hommes program continued until around 1971, financed during its lifespan by Alpha Omega. Aimed at Counteracting Trend in D.C.
In his 1961 letter to the Grand Counselor–aimed at getting a reading on whether the chapter could incorporate the name Les Jeunes Hommes–Brother Morgan said the group was set up with the intent of counteracting a "strong trend in Washington of local college boys toward one of the other fraternities. The project has been successful. The club known as the Les Jeunes Hommes numbers among its membership sons of Omega men as well as sons of other fraternity and non-fraternity fathers. Our chapter includes the activity in our regular budget, and the group uses the fraternity house as its meeting place for business and social meetings." Morgan, in raising questions about incorporation as a way to reserve the name for Omega's exclusive use, said his hope was that other graduate chapters would set up similar programs under this name.
In his response dated June 5, 1961, Grand Counselor Earles said, "Incorporation alone would not necessarily secure the exclusive use of the name for all purposes, but it could be protected by the [chapter's] uninterrupted use [of the name] for a given period of time." "What period of time necessary to bring about this particular effect depends upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the use of the name by the fraternity," he said. "In other words, if another person or organization attempts to use this name, we may be able to succeed in preventing its use by showing that the fraternity and or chapter has used it for a period of time as that the name acquires a secondary meaning, thus creating property rights in the fraternity. It may be well also that this matter be presented to the Grand Conclave in the form of a resolution, so that all chapters with interested groups such as yours will be required to use the name." The Grand Counselor further advised that before any attempt was made to use the name throughout the fraternity, that Alpha Omega should "initiate the program and use it for perhaps one or possibly two years and then present the matter to the Grand Conclave to have the same become part of its national program. I believe that in that way, there would be greater chance for success for acceptance by the fraternity at large."
At least one chapter of the fraternity inquired about the program. Rho Psi Chapter at Tennessee State University wrote James Quander on September 1, 1961, asking for a copy of Les Jeunes Hommes' constitution and any other items Quander could provide. Rho Psi Basileus Philmore Graham said the chapter had an interested group of 175 students in four schools near the Tennessee State campus. Quander said he sent the chapter the information but never heard whether it actually set up its own Les Jeunes Hommes.
Members Who Entered the Fraternity
Among the men who entered Omega Psi Phi after being members of Les Jeunes Hommes were Rohulamin Quander, Bryant Van Brackle, Flavius Galliber, and Dennis Parker, all of whom entered through Alpha Chapter, and Alfred Neal, the group's first president and a graduate of Morehouse College. "What it meant was that these young men had identified with the frat through the organization, and now they were coming forth to make active application for membership," said Ro Quander, who was the group's second president. "We had about 35 – 38 fellows who came into the fraternity." In fact, he said, being a member of Les Jeunes Hommes ultimately became an advantage for these young men. While mention of the organization during an interview for membership in Omega Psi Phi did not guarantee acceptance into the pledge clubs in place during those times, Ro Quander said he does remember that the mention of the organization was, in general, seen as more of a plus among members of the chapter where the young man was seeking membership than as a negative.
The group moved from vibrancy to life support in the late 1960s when its founder entered the seminary and Alpha Omega had a hard time finding someone to carry on the program. Its death came around 1971, a victim of the Black Power movement and students' feelings that black fraternities were no longer relevant. "We need the organization more now than ever, given the issues facing society," the senior Brother Quander said. "It should never have broken up.
