Concordia Humana's solar powered well building project.
School-Aged, World-Minded
Before you read any further in this post, I want you to think about something. Think back to when you were 9 years old. What were you doing? What did you care about? What got you excited?
Thought about it? Let me tell you mine: I was playing soccer most of the days, I was interested in the girls across the classroom from me, I wanted nothing more than to be like Ken Griffey Jr. and my favorite part of the day was coming home to go outside and play with my friends. All I knew about the rest of the world was what Steve Irwin showed me on TV.
Friday I got a chance to see some fourth graders who are excited about something much more powerful. St. Columban elementary school in Loveland, Ohio is not that different from any other Catholic grade school, except for one thing: they've heard about our project building a solar-powered well in Ethiopia and wanted to help. So what do you do when you're in elementary school? You start a lemonade stand. When I entered the school I was greeted by the announcements over the PA system, most of which was centered on three students from the class doing their own personal version of a commercial for their lemonade stand. I walked into their classroom and immediately was swamped by questions:
"When is the well going to be built?"
"Can you send us pictures when it's done?"
"How do you get the money there?"
"How much more money do we need to get?"
"Can we help more?"
"Did you HEAR our commercial???"
I'd never heard kids so excited about development projects before. The one day lemonade stand? They had to run it over the next month and a half because so many kids wanted to help that they literally didn't have space or time to fit them all in. As if that wasn't enough, there were two sets of friends who decided that as much as they liked what we were doing, they wanted to help even more. So every day when they get home they stand on their street corner for an hour selling lemonade. And all that money? It all goes to PowerUp. The kids were jumping around they were so excited to help out others. One came up to me after and said that he'd been looking forward to working in the lemonade stand all week; more than the school play, more than going to play soccer, more than the start of the baseball season even. They wanted pictures, they wanted stories, they wanted to know what we were doing. These aren't kids doing this because the teacher said so, there wasn't a parent standing over them saying "You should do this", they came up with the idea themselves, they started the plan themselves, they were the ones who decided to help out the children in Ethiopia.
Sam and Drew set up their own stand at their homes
to help build a well for another school in Ethiopia
As the head of fundraising and development at Concordia Humana, when someone hears what I do it usually elicits the same sort of response: "Oh my God, that's so amazing! You're doing so much to save the world, it's really wonderful!" This sort of praise belongs to everyone who is involved in our mission, in any way. What do I do? I organize events, I help to run things, I volunteer whenever I can and I set things up. But in the end, what I do is nothing without the rest of the people who help out PowerUp. You want to talk about people saving the world? Look at the fourth graders at St. Columban, look at the students of St. Xavier High School who raised over $1000 for us as a mission collection, look at YOU. YOU are saving the world, YOU are helping children in Ethiopia go to school, YOU are giving them a chance in the world. Not me. You.
We believe in people like the children in Loveland, who care so much about other people they've never met that they don't even give a second thought to missing an hour of TV; they forget about extra time playing video games; and they choose instead to help others. You want something to look forward to in the future? Look forward to these kids and the fact that they're only getting started.
How do you get inspired?

South Carolina man charged with murder in 2014 disappearance
Originally published March 27, 2018 at 7:46 am
MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man has been arrested and charged with murder in the death of his girlfriend, who disappeared in 2014.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office told local media that 36-year-old Jerald Jermaine Howard of Huger was arrested Monday. Howard earlier pleaded no contest to obstruction of justice in the disappearance of 28-year-old Nicole Goodlett of Spartanburg.
Her remains were found in 2015 in woods behind Cainhoy Elementary School in Huger.
The couple had twin daughters.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike Cochran said authorities were conducting surveillance on Howard when they pulled over the pickup truck he was driving Monday in Goose Creek.
Berkeley deputies say the murder charge comes following work with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
It was not known whether Howard has an attorney yet.

I'm loving the World Explorers initiative exclusive to Woolworths! Not only is it fun to collect the 56 flip cards and stickers but so informative and educational for the kids!
Also available is the Collectors Album which is divided into 7 regions – Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Oceana and South America. Each card contains interesting facts about Culture, history, cuisine etc.
The kids and I had a ball learning about the different ways people live and eat and matching the stickers to the World map so they can visually see where the regions are and people come from.
We had a few little cooking sessions, choosing a card and creating a meal that best describes the place. One night we picked Italy and made pizza together, the kids helped me decorate and bake.. We also had a Sushi day in honour of Japan which we shared with my Sister and Niece.They swapped cards, we talked about where the food came from and showed them how to use chopsticks.
The little Explorers loved looking through the cards and learning about culture and Geography the fun way!
There are lots of fun activities inside the album too! Keeping the kids busy, interested and learning. I'm just hoping we can share the one album and cards with all 3 kids!!

Data transformation, re-formatting, and reporting are often performed in slow, separate steps: e.g., sort, then join or aggregate, then stop in a flat file that gets handed off to a data scrubbing process. Then the result of those processes gets opened in a data mart, BI tool, etc. All those I/O passes add up.
Sometimes complex languages like Perl or Python are used to recast data. They may be hard to code or maintain over time, and in volume, run too slow.
The SortCL data transformation program in the IRI CoSort data manipulation product or IRI Voracity data management platform maps data using source field names as symbolic references on output. This allows you to reformat, replicate, report on, and even virtualize (federate) data in the same job (and I/O) with ETL or other data migration operations. See the data sources (and targets) supported here.
Specifically, as SortCL maps fixed- or variable-position fields from input to output, it can re-map (i.e., re-position, re-size, align, trim, pad), and type-convert the values. Additional custom layout options include changing fixed-position layouts to variable (floating) and vice versa.
Parse, strip, or rewrite header records on output. Insert special formatting characters and environment variables, including markup language commands for web-ready reports.
Perform mathematical expressions (cross-calculation) between field data, or on joined and/or aggregated values, to derive and output new detail or summary report values.
Create as many output targets and formats as you need in the same job script and I/O pass.
Reformat files from one type to another. For example, go from a COBOL index file to CSV and vice versa.
Append a "sequencer" field to each sorted record so you can cross-reference them by index values across multiple tables or files.
Populate targets directly through ODBC, pipes, or procedures, or feed them flat files for loading or further integration.

The Thugged Out Pissed Off cut finds the Berkeley rapper addressing many issues, including prostitution, education, and food deserts. The somber beat is matched by an equally solemn Lil B, who laments, Feel like I've always been here, but I'm never there. Watch above.


← A Seal Flipper Foodstand?
Rural Communities are in dire need of revitalization. It may come in the form of many activities that once fueled the local economy and enabled the household to function.
There is an abundance of small business opportunity in Rural Newfoundland & Labrador, including the Great Northern Peninsula. We just have to be Reasonable as the small business from Kinsale suggests.
The Town of Kinsale has 5,000 people, yet has an abundance of small business. Beyond the influx of tourists, the residents support their local entrepreneur. Today on CBC Radio's Morning Show restaurant owners were discussing the difficulty of obtaining quality product locally. They discussed the importance of buying local and trying to establish a network to bulk purchase the goods they need, so that each business can benefit. Although, they offer food services, they are not competitors when it comes to obtaining the basic need, as all have the same request for high quality product. Without it, they may all fail.
There are benefits to establishing stronger networks with current businesses. Co-operation can help reduce ever rising transportation costs and increase the quality of the product. As well, current business can extend services themselves or work with upcoming entrepreneurs. They may wish to lease space at their storefront that could be better utilized to create more in-store traffic. This reduces the operating and start-up costs of both. There are creative ways to increase sales and new technologies to help facilitate this process. It would be wonderful for more communities of the Great Northern Peninsula to get access to Broadband Internet.
Some of these opportunities would be ideal for part-time workers, even those semi-/retired or a senior wishing to earn a subsistence income to combat rising living costs on a fixed income. They may include facilitating workshops by passing on traditional skills to locals and tourists, training a team to create unique products. The creation of bulk products could establish small cottage industries that can sell enough volume into a global niche marketplace, gaining higher yeild for product.
We are surrounded by a pool of entrepreneurs, from fishers, farmers, foresters, crafters and hobbyists. There is a vast skill set that exists with those who live on the Great Northern Peninsula and those who are not residents. We are able to create new businesses based on these opportunities, thus in turn, would be able to support others and buy local – because the opportunity now exists.
A Reasonable idea has the potential to start Rural Revitalization. Let us consider our current offering, evaluate the opportunity and take action today!

Brazilian man may be the first person to be 'cured' of HIV with drugs alone
Anne Gulland
7 July 2020, 8:12 am ·5-min read
Nine-year-old Tumelo shows off antiretroviral (ARV) pills before taking his medication at Nkosi's Haven, south of Johannesburg - Siphiwe Sibeko / Reuters
A Brazilian man may be the first person to be "cured" of HIV after receiving an intensive experimental drug therapy.
The 34-year-old, who was diagnosed with HIV in 2012, is the first person to maintain long-term HIV remission after being given a year-long course of intensive anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs. The man received the treatment alongside four other patients but was the only one to have been "cured".
The researchers, who unveiled their findings at this week's virtual International Aids Society conference, warn that further analysis is needed.
The patient - only the third person ever to have been "cured of the disease" - was put on standard ARV treatment two months after his diagnosis and then enrolled on a clinical trial where he received standard ARTs as well as the HIV drugs dolutegravir and marivoc. He was also given nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B.
Nicotinamide fights part of the virus that infects cells and causes them to self destruct as well as activating the immune system.
The patient received the intensive therapy for a year and then was taken off treatment in March 2019. Since then he has been tested every three weeks and a year later he still has no detectable viral load or any antibodies.
From tragedy to hope | A history of HIV breakthroughs
Professor Sharon Lewin, an HIV and infectious diseases expert at the University of Melbourne who was not involved in the research, said the fact that the patient has no antibodies was significant.
"When someone is infected with a virus they make antibodies. And antibodies don't budge, even when you're on treatment and there's no detectable viral load. But this showed he had no antibodies which is supportive of him being cured," she said.
However, she added that it was important to remember that this was just one patient and the findings were being published as a case report rather than a full academic paper.
"It's interesting, but it's hard to know how significant it is when it's just a single case. I'd also like to know what happened to the other patients," she said.
Dr Ricardo Diaz of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, who led the study, said he was "trying to wake up the virus" and boost the immune system's ability to eliminate it once it's flushed out of hiding.
"We can't search the entire body, but by the best evidence, we do not have infected cells," Dr Diaz said.
"I think it's very promising. This patient might be cured," but it will take more time to know, he added.
The man was diagnosed with HIV in October 2012 and was then put on treatment just two months later. Patients who go on treatment soon after acquiring HIV can quickly bring their virus under control, said Prof Lewin.
"So it's hard to work out whether this person had the virus under control because we don't know when he acquired HIV or whether the addition of extra ARVs and nicotinamide made a difference," she said.
However, if this approach is shown to work in more patients it would be a significant breakthrough.
Currently, people with HIV have to be on treatment for the rest of their lives to suppress their viral load. The treatment is a functional "cure" as it means patients have undetectable levels of virus and cannot pass it onto others and can live long and healthy lives.
However, treatment is expensive, people need to take medication every day and drug resistance has started to develop.
37 million people worldwide live with HIV
"Everyone wants to find a way to allow someone to stop treatment safely. If even three out of 20 patients had the same response to this treatment it would be exciting," said Prof Lewin.
This is not the first time scientists have claimed to have found a way of eradicating the virus.
The first talk of an HIV "cure" was in 2007 when Timothy Brown - dubbed the Berlin Patient - underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat leukaemia. More than 10 years later he remains free of the disease.
The second person to be "cured" of the disease was Adam Castillejo, who made headlines last year as the "London Patient".
Mr Castillejo, who chose to waive his anonymity in March as he wanted to be an "ambassador of hope", was treated with stem cells from a donor with genetic resistance to the disease by specialists at University College London and Imperial College in 2016. Since then he has shown no sign of the virus.
Deborah Gold, chief executive of National AIDS Trust, said the latest research was interesting.
"The results from one of the participants could lead to promising developments in finding a cure for HIV. Knowledge is key in ending HIV and we praise the work being done by researchers around the world to improve our knowledge and understanding about HIV.
"However, whilst work continues to explore the implications of this isolated case, we must remain focused on the tools we already have to stop acquisition of HIV.
"We can prevent HIV acquisition by improving access to the highly effective HIV prevention drug PrEP. Modern HIV treatment means people living with HIV can live healthily into old age, and once on effective HIV treatment cannot pass on the virus. Our focus in the UK and internationally must therefore be to provide easy access to PrEP and HIV testing, and universal access to free HIV treatment."

Here's my end-of-the-year roundup of the best books I read this year. They are not all 2013 books (though most of them are), but they're all books I found especially meaningful this year. They are in no particular order (other than the random pile sitting in front of me).
1. The Reason Why I Jump: The Inner Vice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism, Naoki Higashida Those of us who love someone on the autism spectrum know that sometimes we wonder, "Why do you do that?" This book drove me to tears dozens of times, as this remarkable, autistic young man answers questions such as "Why don't you make eye contact when you're talking?" and "Why do you ask the same questions over and over?" Beyond the helpful insider's glance from the autistic point-of-view, there's a larger vision here. "Us kids with autism would like you to watch out for us, meaning, 'Please never give up on us,'" he writes. "When we sense you've given up on us, it makes us feel miserable. So please keep helping us, through to the end." Man. Don't we all need that? This book made me resolve, all the more, not to give up on someone, through to the end.
2. Flannery O' Connor: Writing a Theology of Disabled Humanity, Timothy J. Basselin I normally read quickly. This book took a long time, because I would stop and ponder. The author contends that we have a hard time with disability because we have a hard time with limitation, especially in an American Dream culture that says our possibilities are endless. He argues that O'Connor's limitations, lupus and the resulting need to stay at home in Georgia, made her who she was. This book made me think quite differently about suffering, about God's mercy, about those we see as "broken" or "odd." This book is the perfect antidote to the prosperity gospel, both the gauche ones we see on TV and the subtler shades of Baalism we find in our own hearts.
3. Recovering Classic Evangelicalism: Applying the Wisdom and Vision of Carl F. H. Henry, Gregory Alan Thornbury How could I not love this book? The subject is a man I came to know in his elderly years, and whose theology, especially in his tract The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism changed my whole life. The author is my friend since the days we were neighbors in Southern Seminary housing and fellow research assistants in the basement of the President's home. But even if I didn't know anything about either, this book is right on point. Thornbury shows that Henry's biblical orthodoxy matched with philosophical savvy and cultural mission wasn't a fluke of the last century, but is needed more than ever. And it's written with classic Thornbury clarity, wit, intellect, and fun. Thank God the King's College was smart enough to elect him president. I wish Dr. Henry could have lived to see it, and to read this fine book.
5. Justification Reconsidered: Rethinking a Pauline Theme, Stephen Westerholm The so-called "new perspective on Paul" can get tiresome quickly. This book is different. Westerholm doesn't write like a partisan, defending his tribe, but as a faithful witness seeking to find where his interlocutors are right and wrong. In the end he shows persuasively from the Scriptures how Augustine didn't invent the concept of an "introspective conscience," later picked up by Martin Luther and superimposed on Paul. Instead, the Pauline epistles themselves address, from start to finish, the question of "How can I find a gracious God?" The book didn't prompt me to think, "Take that, you false teachers!" It prompted me to think, again and again, "Thank you Lord for your mercy to this sinner." That's always worth the price of a book.
6. Writing from Left to Right: My Journey from Liberal to Conservative, Michael Novak This book is the testimony of one who traveled from socialism to so-called "neo-conservatism," through a life working with figures from Sargent Shriver to Ronald Reagan. It's more than a "here's how I changed my mind" book. Woven through a fascinating personal history is a series of brilliant insights on everything from why socialists could never be persuaded that socialism was wrong to why conservatives shouldn't be so quick to bash popular culture. I hated to see this insightful, fun book end.
8. Abraham Kuyper: Modern Calvinist, Christian Democrat, James D. Bratt As one deeply influenced by the Kuyperian tradition, I was waiting a long time for this intellectual history of the great Dutch theologian and politician's life to come to my door. The book highlights the brilliance and prophetic insight of Kuyper as a thinker and activist. It also shows some flashes of a path forward for Christians in a rapidly pluralizing American society. At the same time, the book points out the personal side of this great man, with both heroism and flaws. He was often depressed and irritable and comes off often as, frankly, kind of a jerk. The book reminded me to show some mercy to the grumpier among us, and to resolve to try not to be that way myself.
9. Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip, Nevin Martell Talk about grumpy. This book pictures the author of the strip Calvin and Hobbes as something of a loner, who grated at the publicity his work brought, sometimes to the irritation of his fans and colleagues. But, behind all that, was a comic strip like none other. I like the book because I like Calvin and Hobbes, but I liked it also because it highlights some important lessons for all of us. Watterson alienated many around him because he refused to turn his strip over to sellable clichés, and to cash in the strip for the plush toy and animated movie market. Whether you think Watterson was right or wrong, he stood with his artistic convictions, and that's one reason why so many of us love his work. "Wonderful, lifelike characters are easily corrupted and cheapened by having them appear on every drugstore shelf and rack," he said. "Several fine strips have turned themselves into shameless advertisements for products." Moreover, he deplored the continuing of old strips with new authors and boilerplate scripts, just to keep the franchise going. "Strips that had some relevance to the world during the Depression are now being continued by baby boomers, and the results are embarrassing," he said. I think there's some relevance there to evangelical Christianity. This book also looks at the philosophy behind Watterson's worldview. The author suggests that the little boy and his tiger in the strip my have been named based on Horace White's observation that the United States "is based upon the philosophy of Hobbes and the religion of Calvin. It assumes that the natural state of mankind is a state of war, and that the carnal mind is at enmity with God." I put this book down several times to find myself in the strips in one of Watterson's collections. If you like Calvin and Hobbes, or Calvin and Hobbes, you'll find this book interesting.
10. Ethics and Moral Reasoning: A Student's Guide, C. Ben Mitchell Ethics books tend to be boring or dated, or both. They're often boring because they're abstract, disconnected from the lived-out questions of most people. They're often dated because they can't keep up with the whirring nature of technology and culture. This book isn't boring and it won't be dated for some time. Mitchell traces why moral philosophy isn't just for specialists but for the whole Body of Christ. He explains with clarity the various ways of approaching these questions, and offers ethical reflection that isn't ashamed of the gospel or embarrassed to claim, "The Bible says." I plan to give this to lots of budding young ethicists, preachers and leaders.
11. The Battle Hymn of the Republic: A Biography of the Song That Marches On, John Stauffer and Benjamin Soskis I don't remember ever hearing the Battle Hymn of the Republic sung in the patriotic services at my church growing up. Maybe that's because it was seen as a "Yankee song," and the 1980s were too close for south Mississippi to the close of the Civil War. I don't know, but I remember hearing it first as a child in Elvis Presley's "American Trilogy," in which he fused it with "Dixie" and a Bahamian lullaby, seeking to transcend lyrically the Mason-Dixon line. In the years to come, I'll be struck by the richness of the biblical imagery in the song. But that imagery is controversial, and that's what this book is about. Contemporary progressives don't tend to like hymns with militant imagery (see the controversies over "Onward Christian Soldiers" and "In Christ Alone"), and it's hard to get more militant than "stomping out the vineyard where the grapes of wrath are stored." But this book shows that the song was controversial with conservatives, such as J. Gresham Machen who found it to be a Christless, gospel-free anthem of crusading progressivism. Of course, the Battle Hymn returned during the civil rights era, linking the just cause of the Freedom Marchers and others with the earlier abolitionists. I like the Battle Hymn, and think we should sing it. But this book traced a fascinating series of cultural divides in America, and reminded me how what we sing embeds itself in our hearts, sometimes driving us apart and sometimes bringing us together—and sometimes both in different ages.
12. The Little Way of Ruthie Leming: A Southern Girl, a Small Town, and the Secret of a Good Life, Rod Dreher The first time I ever read Rod Dreher, I think in the pages of National Review, I found a kindred spirit. In the years since then, we've been in touch often through technology and though we've yet to meet in person, I think of him as a friend. Rod sent me this book when it was in early manuscript form, and I was drawn in from start to finish. This is the story of Rod and his family moving home to St. Francisville, Louisiana, after his sister was stricken with cancer. Part of the appeal is that Dreher is a gut-wrenchingly powerful writer. Part of it is that he doesn't glaze over returning home. This isn't Little House on the Bayou. And part of it is that we come from roughly the same part of the world, and I feel every day of sense of loss that I'm not at home in Biloxi. Wherever you're from, whether you're right next door to "Mama and them" or connected only by Skype and memories to your roots, this book will give you much to think about.
13. Playing God: Redeeming the Gift of Power, Andy Crouch This is another book I read in manuscript form, in order to offer a blurb of endorsement. I planned to read a little at the time, expecting to like it because I've loved Andy Crouch's previous work Culture Making. I read through the whole thing almost in one sitting and found it plowing through my heart, leaving idol shards everywhere. The book is about how all of us exercise power—regardless of whether we are an unemployed janitor or President of the United States—and how this power will be directed either for or against human flourishing. You will wince at some points as you see how your use of power is more Pharaoh-like than Christlike, or at least I did.

Chelsea to Win Champions League Odds – Outright Winner Betting
Chelsea odds to regain their Premier League title may not be your best bet and it may be that the Blues have one eye on trying to claim a second Champions League title at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Turkey. So what are the Chelsea to win Champions League odds?
Chelsea Odds to Win the Champions League 19/20
Once again Chelsea are outsiders to lift the Champions League trophy in May 2020, just as they were when they won it for the very first time back in 2012. As the knockout rounds approach Chelsea to win Champions League odds are 40/1 (41.0). One big obstacle in the way of the Blues advancing through to the final this year is that they have been drawn against Bayern Munich in the first knockout round of 16 in the Champions League.
Frank Lampard's side aren't even backed as the favourites to defeat Bayern Munich over two legs, but know they can draw on experience in overcoming the odds as they did famously in 2012 at the Allianz Arena.
Latest Champions League Winner Odds
As is obvious now, Chelsea are not favourites to win the Champions League 19/20 and will have to overcome Bayern Munich in February/March 2020 to march up the odds market. In-fact it's league rivals Manchester City who are the frontrunners to lift their first ever trophy, followed by Liverpool, Barcelona and PSG.
Champions League Winner Odds
Man City 7/2 22.2%
Liverpool 4/1 20%
Barcelona 5/1 16.7%
PSG 6/1 14.3%
Chelsea 40/1 2.4%
When did Chelsea win the Champions League?
While the odds on Chelsea to win the Champions League aren't exactly in their favour in 2019 they were similarly negative back in 2012 when the Blues marched to the first ever win in Europe's elite club competition. On the 19th May 2012 in the Allianz Arena the Blues, led by Roberto di Matteo defeated Bayern Munich on their home ground in the final, sparking mass jubilation in west London and further making legends of players like Frank Lampard and Drogba in the process.
Chelsea Champions League Fixtures 2019/2020
Make a note Chelsea fans – the Champions League knockout round of 16 kicks off on 18-19th / 25-26th February, and the second legs on the 10-11th / 17-18th March 2020.

Q: "Save a custom chart as a template" button / shortcut / quick access bar In the OFFICE newer versions (+2010), the button Save as Template in the Design tab/Type group vanishes. I know it can be reached by right-clicking the chart, and cliking Save as Template. But I would like to put it inside the Design tab as it was the case in Word 2007/2010 (cf. https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/save-a-custom-chart-as-a-template-259a5f9d-a9ec-4b3f-94b6-9f5e55187f2a). I was looking inside the Word options and try to customize the ribbon (cf. https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/customize-the-ribbon-in-word-c4b6051a-7a70-43c8-a527-932917dec682), but I didn't find the command Save as Template in all the commands. Where is it going?

A: Based on my research, the command "Save as Template" has been removed from Word ribbon since Office 2013. In addition, the command can't be found in the command list in Customize Ribbon window.
For the requirement, I suggest you send your feedback in Word UserVoice forum.

"Mr. Prevost" was either Major Augustine Prevost, Jr. (1744-1821) who was living at the Prevost manor house in Greenville, NY, or his son John Augustine Prevost (1769-1822) who settled in Cooperstown in 1805 and later was lost at sea in the wreck of the Albion, the same shipwreck in which George Clarke's eldest son, George Hyde Clarke was lost. Major Prevost's sister, Anne Margaret Prevost (d.1821) had married George Clarke's brother Edward Hyde Clarke (1770-1826) in 1791 and lived in England, so there were close family ties.
The chairs manifest the finest work of the well-known cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe of New York City. They are the cross-bannister, scroll back design with straight reeded legs that is so well documented by Peter Kenny, et al. in Duncan Phyfe, Master Cabinetmaker in New York (2012). The Prevost chairs are very similar to one of the Bayard family sets of chairs, but have a simpler crest rail carving of a rectangular reeded plaque rather than the bowknot-and-thunderbolt design. For the inverted cup-and-column design on the rear stiles, however, the cups are reeded. Originally there would have been seat cushions with squared edges. The chairs were brought to Hyde Hall in 1819 when the family moved from Albany.


It's back to the daily grind for students, sweater weather is just around the corner in some states, and football season is in full swing. Without a doubt, autumn's signature stamps are appearing all around. But in Daytona Beach, fall takes on a different hue than in many other destinations. Bright blue water, sunny skies and lush greens are the colors of fall around here — and it's one of the best seasons to explore the area. Beyond the warm, pleasant temperatures and summery vibes that extend well past September, Daytona Beach offers a number of compelling reasons to visit in the fall. It's a truly "WonderFall" experience — read on to learn why!
This fall, more than 60 events, festivals and celebrations will take place in the Daytona Beach area — and that means there's always something fun going on! There's no real category that all the events can be put into — a wide range of interests, hobbies and holidays will be represented at some point this fall. So no matter the ages in your vacation crew, you'll find something you love.
Sample the stuffed grape leaves at the annual St. Demetrios Greek Festival, where traditional cultural dances, art exhibits and delicious dining can all be found. Or, get revved up for the Fall Cycle Scene Activities at Daytona International Speedway, where you can catch free demo rides and exciting motorcycle races, peruse vendor displays, and rock out with live entertainment. Another fall favorite is the Halifax Art Festival, which will showcase 250 fine artists, offer live music and dancing, and provide many fun, interactive children's booths. And if you're looking for some free, family-friendly fun, don't miss the Hay Day Fall Festival in DeLand. There, you'll enjoy classic fall fest activities like face painting, crafts and an outdoor movie viewing! To learn more about all the fun and festive events happening this season, check out six of the top festivals coming to the Daytona Beach area this fall.
Get an excellent value on your vacation!
One of the most obvious incentives to visit Daytona Beach this fall: the amazing deals you can get on accommodations, attractions and entertainment! By visiting after "peak season," you can snag a savvy deal on all sorts of oceanfront hotels and condos. Plus, many venues and attractions in the area offer combination packages that provide amazing value on your vacation.
For example, golf enthusiasts jump at the chance to play a round at one of Daytona Beach's best-known courses. With perfect fall weather, fewer players on the course and great prices, there's no question why! Daytonabeach.golf offers unbeatable deals on stay-and-play packages, making a golf getaway a no-brainer for fall. Be sure to explore these and other deals in the area for an excellent value on your fall vacation.
Roam free on 23 miles of uncrowded beaches.
Although a number of phenomenal fests are coming to the area this fall, that doesn't mean the area will feel cramped. In fact, fall is one of the best seasons to visit Daytona Beach, because the summer vacationers have cleared out, and the families headed down for spring break haven't even thought about starting to pack yet.
Daytona Beach is known far and wide for its expansive, beautiful beaches — and that's something that rings true all year long! Especially during the upcoming season, though, these famously wide beaches and the nicely spread out downtown area feel even more liberated. Ride bikes on the beach without worrying about hitting an umbrella or rolling over a towel; visit world-famous attractions like the speedway without having to wait in long lines; savor fresh seafood without the hassle of waiting for a table. Explore the best of Daytona Beach — and do it with plenty of elbow room this fall.
Well, what are you waiting for? Daytona Beach's warm weather and fall fun await. Consider one last relaxing beach escape before the holiday madness sets in, or simply as an excuse to reconnect with your loved ones in a fun and refreshing atmosphere.
Start planning your WonderFall getaway today! Download our free official visitors guide or sign up for our e-newsletter.

Biggest ever decline in Chinese smartphone sales this last quarter
All players dropped away except Huawei and Xiaomi
Return to growth expected almost immediately
The last quarter saw the biggest ever decline in China's smartphone market, according to market watchers, Canalys. The number of smartphones sold in China has dived by a staggering 21 per cent annually to 91 million units, a number the market passed on its way up back in 2013!
Canalys says eight of the top 10 smartphone vendors were hit by annual declines, with only Huawei and Xiaomi growing their numbers.
That overall drop is being attributed by Canalys to a sense of fatigue - the vendors having essentially beaten each other senseless over the past five years.
"The level of competition has forced every vendor to imitate the others' product portfolios and go-to-market strategies," said Canalys Research Analyst Mo Jia. "But the costs of marketing and channel management in a country as big as China are huge, and only vendors that have reached a certain size can cope."
The winners and losers
Gionee, Meizu and Samsung shrank to less than half of their respective Q1 2017 numbers, says Canalys, while Huawei (including Honor) managed to grow shipments by a modest 2 per cent, maintaining its lead and consolidating its market share to about 24% by shipping over 21 million smartphones. Second-placed Oppo and third-placed Vivo bore the brunt of the overall decline, with shipments falling by about 10 per cent to 18 million and 15 million respectively. Xiaomi was the only company to buck the trend, growing shipments by 37 per cent to 12 million units, and overtaking Apple to take fourth place.
"While Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi must contend with a shrinking Chinese market, they can take comfort from the fact that it will continue to consolidate, and that their size will help them last longer than other smaller players," said Jia.
Things can only get better
The analysts say China is expected to return to growth in Q2, as Oppo, Vivo and Huawei launch new flagship devices and hope to excite the market once again. "The inventory issues that Oppo and Vivo suffered in Q4 and Q1 are now behind them," said Jia. "New smartphones will definitely entice people to upgrade, but vendors are more careful of avoiding oversupply in the channel. China's smartphone market may see a short period of stagnation as vendors refocus on research and development, relying on new use cases to excite refreshes rather than spending heavily on the channel and marketing."

Trump Supporters In Ohio Agree: Putin Is A Better President Than Obama
"Putin is probably a better president for his country, unlike our president, who is working against us," one Donald Trump supporter told BuzzFeed News.

CLEVELAND — Donald Trump supporters at a private event in Ohio told BuzzFeed News they support the Republican nominee's recent complimentary comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During his appearance on NBC News' "Commander-In-Chief Forum," Trump repeatedly praised Putin as "a leader far more than our president," and added that he would have more "great things" to say about the Russian leader as the campaign continues.

Donald Trump speaks with Matt Lauer at the NBC "Commander-In-Chief Forum."
While none of the handful of Trump supporters who attended Trump's speech at the Cleveland Arts and Sciences Academy said they supported Putin, many did support Trump's statements.
"[Putin] is probably a better president for his country, unlike our president, who is working against us," Carolee Upshur told BuzzFeed News, while clarifying that she didn't think Putin would be a good president for the US.
James Bates, a 37-year-old Cleveland native, added that "If we're looking at showing strength, which I think is a quality that should be displayed within a leader, then I would have to say yes, (Putin) is better in that regard."
Other supporters around him nodded and murmured approval.
"People are trying to spin this into something like, 'Oh well, he's in bed with Putin,'" Bates said. But he argued that Trump's relationship with Putin would be beneficial to the US should the GOP nominee be elected.
"We need a dialogue with Russia, nobody wants World War III," he said. "We need to be able to sit down and talk to other world leaders."
Another point Bates and Upshur agreed on is that they would trust Trump more to deal with Putin without jeopardizing national security.
"With the Clintons, it's all about the money," Upshur said. "I would trust [Trump] implicitly never to sell out our best interest in order to get some sort of potential gain from it."
Bates and Upshur both said they voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012, but felt "let down."

Wednesday was not the first time Trump has spoken positively about Russia's leader. Trump's praise for Putin can be traced all the way back to 2007, when he told Larry King he thought the Russian leader was doing a "great job."
In this election, Trump has said he was "honored" to be complimented by Putin, has defended allegations against Putin that he ordered the killing of journalists, and has said he thinks he and the Russian president "would get along."
Donald Larson, a former Naval officer running for Ohio's 9th Congressional District, brought up Joseph Stalin's effective methods of leadership.
"He was one of the worst dictators of the 20th century, I have nothing good to say about [Stalin]," Larson assured BuzzFeed News. "But he's still revered in many places in Russia because he marshaled Russia's resources and defeated Hitler and the Nazis."
Putin, he added, is trying to do the same thing with ISIS.
"We're sick of all the apologizing," Upshur jumped in. "We need a leader who will stop apologizing for us and just do something."

ARC Laureate Project
'Until the history of archaeology reflects a better understanding of the historical events that shape archaeological research, the subject will only ever be useful as an introduction. Unlike the wide-sweeping histories of archaeology traditionally accepted by archaeologists, in-depth research on the historical context of archaeology is still wanting.' Amara Thornton (2011:38)*.
In histories of world archaeology the Pacific and Island Southeast Asia are essentially absent. This project seeks nothing less than to create a new sub-field within Pacific archaeology: the serious study of its history from its beginnings in the speculations of early European and American explorers on the origins of Pacific peoples, to its growth spurt and professionalisation following World War II.
The Laureate project has as a long-term vision to establish the ANU as the world centre for the study of the history of Pacific, Southeast Asian and Australian archaeology, and as a major centre for the history of archaeology more generally. The Laureate Program is the necessary springboard for this wider aim. Ten more specific aims can also be enunciated:
To create a sub-field of the history of Pacific archaeology, which draws on the until now parochial histories of Australian and New Zealand archaeology. We will produce a multinational history, showing that scholars from Australia and New Zealand were key influences on how the subject developed in the region, and exploring the 'webs of empire' that linked them to European and American discourses on world prehistory.
To re-evaluate our current stalemated and inadequate theories about the settlement of the Pacific; and to re-engage with and critique histories of socio-cultural anthropology that have excised much of its shared past with archaeology in the Pacific in the development of key concepts and schools of thought. This is an urgent task at a time when our ideas are increasingly entering indigenous discourses about nation and region.
To re-define the development of Australian archaeology within its wider Oceanic context and its participation in world archaeological debates over diffusion and evolution that were precursors to the recognisably modern archaeology brought into being by John Mulvaney and others in the 1950s and 1960s.
To re-imagine the story of our understanding of Papua New Guinea and its people, through a detailed examination of the development of theories about the origins and spread of the peoples of Australia's only significant former colonies -- the pre-Independence Territories of Papua and of New Guinea.
To re-discover the contribution of both French and German scholars to the early development of Pacific archaeology, and through translations of important texts to make their findings available to an Anglophone audience.
To recover the considerable amount of archaeological excavation that took place in the Pacific from the 1870s until WWII, in order to demonstrate that the post-War professionalisation of archaeology in the region was built upon an ever-growing accumulation of knowledge and theories that had developed over a much longer time span. This will challenge the idea that 'modern' archaeology began only in the post-War period.
To re-write this forgotten history of Pacific archaeological practice by re-uniting artefacts and field notes from a series of earlier scholars, particularly those involved in archaeological excavation, and attempting to re-interpret or in some cases interpret for the first time their findings, within our current methods and knowledge.
To re-conceptualise the perennial issue of trans-Oceanic cultural contacts, recently coming back into vogue (see Jones et al. 2011), within its long history of discourse that extends back to the start of the 19th century and is particularly influential through the work of Thor Heyerdahl of Kon-Tiki fame.
To redress the neglect of the role of women archaeologists working in the region, not only those professionally engaged but also the often-invisible archaeological wives who accompanied their partners into the field and who provided significant intellectual as well as physical labour towards the success of projects.
To re-engage with descendant communities in the present in the light of our research and its findings and to restore knowledge of the now largely forgotten agency and contribution of indigenous scholars and interlocutors to the creation of a Pacific past.

The bail out of Bear Sterns has validated all the worst fears and forecasts expressed in these newsletters over the past few years. The Fed has once again verified that it will create whatever new liquidity is required to prevent any particular crisis from developing into a deflationary debt implosion.
The bail out was undertaken not because Bear Stearns was �too big to fail�. It was done because of something called �inter-connectivity�.
What does this mean? It is Fed-speak for concern about the $600 Trillion notional value of derivatives outstanding, with just about every bank in the world participating to greater or lesser extent. By far the biggest player in the derivatives market is J P Morgan.
The problem with derivatives is that these are individual transactions between 2 or more parties. Often the transactions are arbitraged onwards to several other players. Everyone in the chain relies on all the other parties to meet their obligations. If one party in the chain goes bankrupt, it can cause a domino like collapse of all the other parties in the chain � if the bankrupt party is a large player in derivatives. They are all �inter-connected�.
Bear Stearns is known to be a big player in the derivative markets and must have been a major counter party to many transactions with JP Morgan, given Morgan�s huge derivative positions. Hence Bear Stearns had to be rescued because of �inter-connectivity�; to prevent a melt down in the derivative markets. It can hardly be a coincidence that the bail out was routed through J P Morgan.
Let us be clear about where this will end. It will end with the Fed and/or the US Government owning or guaranteeing all the bad debts and losses from all sources in order to preserve the existing system. It has serious implications for the value of the US Dollar, the international monetary system and for inflation. The vast quantity of new liquidity that needs to be created will almost certainly result in runaway inflation.
The initial stage of this developing crisis created a change in sentiment from �what is the return ON my investment� to �how do I get the return OF my investment�.
That change in sentiment caused a rush to buy US Government bonds and short dated Treasury Bills. Holders of these assets are assured of the eventual return of their capital in nominal terms, i.e. in current US Dollars. This would be a smart move if the crisis was developing into a deflationary debt implosion. It is not a smart move in a runaway inflationary event.
When that change of sentiment occurs, there will be a rush out of bonds into tangible assets that offer protection in real terms. The bond markets are several multiples bigger than the stock market. Consequently when this change occurs, very large amounts of money will be chasing relatively small amounts of those assets that provide protection in real terms. Expect very large and rapid gains in the precious metals, base metals and mining company shares as a consequence of the coming rush out of bonds.
�Imagine an inverted pyramid consisting of layers of various investment asset classes where the least secure (and most prolific assets) are in the very wide top layers. The inverted pyramid then narrows down through layers of increasingly more secure assets to the small point at the base which consists of the most secure (and least prolific) assets. The theory is that in times of financial crisis investors will cause their investments to devolve downwards through the different asset layers in the inverted pyramid as they search for greater security. This move to assets representing greater security is already happening in the current crisis.
Bottom line: It is time to part from your debt.

Optolong SII 6.5nm CCD Filter - 2"
The Sulfur II is an Extra-Narrowband Filter from Optolong that permits a 6.5nm bandwidth of light that is centered at 672nm to pass through. This filter also greatly lessens other wavelengths passing through, including wavelengths notorious for light pollution (both artificial and natural). Like all Optolong filters with the "CCD" designation, this SII filter also blocks infrared wavelengths from 700nm to 1100nm so you don't need a separate IR-Cut filter.
The Optolong 2" SII 6.5nm Filter is made with Schott glass that has been multi-coated with an ion-assisted deposition technology to ensure scratch resistance and stability on the central wavelength, or CWL. The filter cell is made of lightweight, strong metal and is CNC machined, sand-blasted, black anodized, and then laser engraved. The result is a super thin filter cell that will produce a clear aperture of 45mm.


'Chris Marshall met the girl he was going to kill on a warm night in early June . . .' (The Butterfly Tattoo, (Macmillan 2001) p. 3). Chris is seventeen , studying for A-levels but working part time and during holidays for a sound and lighting equipment company. There's a good, honest innocence about him – in some ways he's naïve about the world, but he's inexperienced and trusting rather than simple. Jenny literally runs into him at an Oxford college ball. Chris is there as a technician and he helps to rescue her from three upper-class pursuers. He's instantly smitten with this beautiful girl and patrols Oxford on his bicycle until he finds her again.
But just as chance brought their paths together, so it also divides them. Various factors – including Jenny's painful past – conspire to force them apart. Chris's boss has secrets of his own and Chris founds himself caught up in a web of events that are beyond his control. He finds himself struggling with questions of who he can trust, and how he can tell. He even comes to wonder whether he can trust himself.
But His Dark Materials fans will find some familiar themes: young people from difficult home situations, twists of fate leading to both joy and tragedy, and especially the transition from innocence to experience and wisdom. As in The Amber Spyglass, Pullman refers to the Genesis account of the Fall and sees it as an essential coming of age for humanity.
What emotions did you experience as you read The Butterfly Tattoo?
To what extent does Pullman succeed in writing 'about a present-day, messy, difficult world in which unemployment and housing problems' (www.philip-pullman.com)? Are these issues central to the narrative or peripheral?
How would you describe Chris? At what points is he most believable as a character? When is he least believable?
What values does he live by? Do these change during the events of the book? Why/why not?
How is Jenny a product of her past? Why was she so drawn to Chris? What does she most need?
What age group do you think The Butterfly Tattoo is intended for? Does Philip Pullman get the right balance for this age group in his description of the intimacy between Chris and Jenny?
'This is a profoundly cruel book, impaling its central character on a spike of manipulation, innocence and love' (Books for Keeps). Why does the reviewer calls it a cruel book? Do you agree? Why/why not?
How does The Butterfly Tattoo express Philip Pullman's concern with truth, honesty and integrity? How are these called into question for Chris? What does he finally conclude?
'Chris sat silent, sick to his heart. Everyone and everything and everywhere he looked was rotten, corrupt, poisoned to the core' (The Butterfly Tattoo, (Macmillan, 2001) p. 104). Do you agree with Chris's assessment of the world at this point? How consistent is this view with the biblical idea of sin as a fundamental attitude of rebellion against God which infects all humanity?
How do you respond to these arguments?
Do you think Chris is right to respond this way? How prevalent are these ideas in our culture?
The Bible sees eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil as an act of rebellion against God (see Genesis 3). How does Pullman subvert this perspective? Do you think he is right to contrast innocence with wisdom? Why/why not? How do you respond to the idea which comes later in the Bible that true wisdom begins with learning to understand who God is and how to relate to him?


I would like to get an android tv box. Is there any tv box that I can connect my usb monitor?
Never heard such thing USB MONITOR.
Those USB monitors have an internal video card to run it, there is probably no Android device that will work with it. The USB monitors were made for use with standard computers.
If you look at USB monitor just because of size and/or power requirements, there are small-size HDMI monitors available as well. Check Raspberry Pi stores.
Speaker Wire to RCA Connection from subwoofer to studio monitors is very quiet.
How can I play sound at the same both from my laptop and my extended monitor I connected with HDMI cable?


"This box is too heavy, here Lukethink fast." Calum said and dumped a big box in my arms.
"Well thanks for that mate." i said with the upmost sarcasm in my voice, almost dropping the box.
I turned around to take the box in our new house when i saw a girl walking out of the house next door. She looked around our age and she was beautiful! I dropped the box on my toe and it hurt so badly!
"OH MY GOD! Are you alright that must hurt! "
"I'm fine thanks." i said lying. My toe hurt really badly, it might be broken!
"No problem. Hi I'm Mia Evans." she said smiling and holding her hand out.
"Hi I'm Luke Hemmings." i say shaking her hand. it was so soft. Okay Luke you sound creepy. Ugh why am i talking to myself?
"Nice to meet you Luke, so i guess we're neighbors." she said.
"Yea, I guess we are." I said not knowing what else to say to this beautiful girl. Geez why am I so awkward?
"I heard you are in a band." She said. I don't think she has heard of us cause she isn't freaking out. God I sound so conceited, why would she freak out?
"Yea I am with a few of my mates. I play guitar and sing." I said.
"Very cool! Can I meet the others?" She asked.
"Of course.They may seem a bit strange at first, but they're nice lads" I said.
"Are you sure you can walk?" She asked.
"Yea I will try." I said and picked up the box again. Well now it's time for this perfect girl to meet the lads.


Tobacco products like cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, cigarillos, cigars, dry snuff, dip, and nicotine dissolvables have flavorings added to increase their appeal and palatability. Many come in a variety of flavors such as menthol, vanilla, orange, apple, cola, chocolate, cherry, coffee, and grape.
Research shows that flavored tobacco products are widely considered as "starter" products, and people who use them are more likely to become "hooked" than someone trying non-flavored tobacco products for the first time. The flavoring masks the harshness of the tobacco products which makes them more addictive and harder to quit. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), flavored tobacco is more addictive than regular tobacco products.
In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned all flavored cigarettes except those containing menthol and was given the authority to regulate other tobacco products.
There are a variety of new, smokeless, flavored tobacco products including dry snuff, dip and chew, nicotine dissolvables, e-cigarette, snus and energy dip. These products are popular with youth because they are appealing and perceived as safer. There are few regulations for these products since they are new to the market. Also, because these products are smokeless, young people can use these products at school and other public places without being identified as a smoker.

Q: Display product variation price without html tags I want to increase product variation price by some percentage but when i try to get variation product value it comes with html code but i need integer value.
function woocommerce_variable_add_to_cart() {
    global $product, $post;
    $variations = $product->get_available_variations();
    foreach ($variations as $key => $value) {
       echo $value['price_html'];
    }
 }

A: You should be able to get the price with this display_price I think:
function woocommerce_variable_add_to_cart() {
    global $product, $post;
    $variations = $product->get_available_variations();
    foreach ($variations as $key => $value) {
        echo $value['display_price'];
    }
 }

There is also a $value['display_regular_price'] available, which is the original price if a price is reduced in some way.


and I'm interested in this 2016 Volkswagen Beetle.
One of the coolest VW's ever made.. and you might not even know about it. AND if you want a possile classic ... this one is it.The Dune Beetle... an awesome Beetle on steroids... Desert Gold with an incredible interior... as rare as it gets... if you want a sensational ride with an incredible look, you can't do better than this.$18,995 with VW Certification.... and that price is not only firm..but in one year ... you'll realize that it's a deal... Safe to say.. they'll never build a Beetle like this ever.
