A workshop was held on November 7, 2015 at Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada for researchers interested in root rots of pulse crops. The workshop was held the day after the North American Pulse Improvement Association (NAPIA) biennial conference. Eight presentations were given in total, with the keynote presentation by Marie-Laure Pilet-Nayel who connected by Skype from Rennes, France. Aphanomyces euteiches was the main focus of the workshop, but other root rotting organisms were also discussed, particularly various Fusarium species. Presentations covered topics including epidemiology, root rot management and control, and genetic resistance to root rots.

Q: Issue with trying to use some on-the-fly-generated code with Python While running my code ("Test_Use_Generated_Code.py"), I do generate on-the-fly a new python function within a separate python file ("gen_code.py") using intermeaditae function ("write_gen_code.py") that I want to use while still being in the same run.
My issue is that the generated code is not seen.
My guess is that as the interpreter did not see the code at the beginning of the run (because not yet created) and so does not see the new generated code.
I am using Python 3.7 & Pycharm (64 bits).
Can you help me soving this issue (if possible!)?
I have tried different things such as Import_reload(module) but I still cannot use the generated code.
Origin Function:
   import time, sys, os
   from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget
   from write_gen_code import write_gen_code
   from gen_code import *
   class test_code():
       def __init__(self):
            Code_FileName = str("gen_code.py")
            open (Code_FileName, "w").close ()
            write_gen_code ("gen_code.py")
            #Expect some code here to load newly generated code
            MyObject = getattr (created_code, "Dummy_function") (self)
       exit()
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = QApplication (sys.argv)
        uiMain = test_code()
        sys.exit (app.exec_ ())

Write Function:
    import sys
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget
    class write_gen_code():
        def __init__(self, filename):
            with open (str (filename), "w") as file:
            content ="# ' Code      : -*- coding:utf-8 -*-"
            content = content + "\nimport sys"
            content = content + "\n\nclass created_code():"
            content = content + "\n\tdef Dummy_function(self):"
            content = content + "\n\t\tprint(\"hey hey\")"
            content = content + "\n\t\tpass\n"
            file.write (content)
        file.close ()
    if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication (sys.argv)
    uiMain = write_gen_code("gen_code.py")

    import sys
    class created_code():
        def Dummy_function(self):
            print("hey hey")
            pass

I do expect:
hey hey
but so far I get:

This is part of a series looking at the various types of schools in LA Unified. For facts, comparisons and maps of charters in LA, click here. Follow the series with magnet schools and affiliated charters.
Independent charter schools have come to often dominate the conversation surrounding LA Unified. Proponents hail them as a savior to the district; their detractors blame them for the district's financial woes.
The California Charter Schools Act was passed in 1992, but it took more than a decade for charters to become a significant part of the district. Part of the reason is the original act only allowed for 10 schools per district, regardless of its size, and it wasn't until 1998 that the law was amended to allow for unlimited expansion.
By the 2001-02 school year, there were only 13 independent charters authorized by the district.
"At the time I came on the board, charters were seen as kind of a novelty and a place to send your principals who were a little too creative for their own good," said Caprice Young, who served on the LA Unified school board from 1999 to 2003 before founding the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) in 2003. Today she is CEO of Magnolia Public Schools, which operates eight independent charters authorized by LA Unified.
David Tokofsky served on the board from 1995 to 2007 and said in the early days he was a supporter of charters, but when large charter management organizations (CMOs) started to open multiple schools around the turn of the century, his opinion changed.
"Most of the people at that stage (in the '90s) were respected LAUSD veterans. I think in the machine politics of government organizations, they were more individualistic than if you were in this guy's machinery or that guy's machinery. They were mavericks," said Tokofsky, now a consultant for the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles.
Irene Sumida is executive director of Fenton Charter Schools, which today has five schools in its network. When Fenton Avenue Charter converted from a traditional school to a charter in 1993, it was only the seventh charter school in the district.
"I think the school district saw us as a novelty or an experiment that might succeed, or that might not. I cannot say that I felt real support for what we were doing, and we were very much treated like outsiders," Sumida said.
After the charter law was changed to allow for unlimited expansion, slowly more CMOs began to open multiple schools in the district, and that is when both supporters and detractors started to take notice. PUC Schools, which operates 16 schools today, opened its first school in 1999. Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, which operates 27 schools in the district, opened its first school in 2004. Magnolia Public Schools opened its first school in 2002.
In 1999, both Dorsey High School and Crenshaw High School converted to independent charters but within a few years converted back to being traditional schools.
"Partly because the whole Dorsey cluster and Crenshaw cluster gave up their charter status people kind of thought, 'Well, maybe this charter school thing is going to stay just being a novelty.' It really started hitting the stratosphere in 2003 to 2008," Young said.
In 2003-04, there were 24 charters in the district. By 2007-08, there were 114.
"From '03 to '07 is when the expansion started, and somewhere around '05 there grew a little more antagonism," Tokofsky said.
In 2003, Granada Hills High School converted to an independent charter school, and Sumida said that started to turn some heads.
Tokofsky pointed to Young and the formation of CCSA as a turning point, because the organization helped court big donors like the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation to fund CMOs.
"Caprice changed the discourse when she lost the board election and went to head up the charter association and the Walmart money came in. That's the game changer, when it went from individual charters to multiples," he said.
By the 2008-09 school year there were 137 independent charters with roughly 60,000 students enrolled, and the growth has continued. In the 2015-16 school year there were 221 charters authorized by LA Unified with more than 101,00 students enrolled. This school year there are 228 independent charters with more than 107,000 students — 16 percent of the district's 665,000 total K-12 students.
• Tomorrow: Alliance College-Ready Public Schools: A replicable model or unique success?

Lightning Bolt, A Place to Bury Strangers, JEFF & Grooms played Death by Audio's final show (pics / video)
BrooklynVegan Staff Published: November 24, 2014
photos by P Squared Photography; words by Bill Pearis
Lightning Bolt / APTBS / JEFF @ DbA's final night
When Lightning Bolt's set ended at around 2 AM Saturday night (11/22), the floor of Death by Audio was littered with beer cans and ripped-up issues of Vice magazine. Their set, which was the last to ever be played at DbA, was one of the wildest I've ever seen at the now-closed DIY showspace. It was a turbulent sea with constant crowdsurfers. I saw many smiling sweaty people afterwards with blood all over their tshirts. (There was also a kid on top the crowd eating a burrito which was amazing.) Among those on top the crowd: DbA co-founder Edan Wilber who was wearing a homemade shirt that read "START YOUR OWN FUCKING SHOWSPACE." The crowd would not let him down, and much like Ty Segall a week before, he had a massive grin plastered to his face. It was a perfect way (and the perfect band) for DbA to go out.
Admittedly, the final night didn't start off quite as perfectly. The line for the final show started forming around 3 PM and by 5 PM was at Kent -- which was usually the cutoff point for who got in on the previous nights -- and it eventually went past Glasslands. (They did give away free hot chocolate for folks in line.) The paid list for friends and family (which, I won't deny, included the guy writing this) was big, and there was also the problem of rampant space-holding by folks in line.
The main space was full of folks that looked like DbA regulars to me by the time openers Grooms took the stage, and what weird vibes there were lifted when they started to play. (Grooms have basically practiced at DbA since they began as Muggabears and have played there many many times over the last seven years.) Singer Travis Johnson was definitely holding back tears at first and gave a nice tribute to the space and Edan: "If more people cared as much about music and as little about actually making money as Edan, the world would be a better place." Guitarist Jay Heiselmann, meanwhile, may hold the record for most shows at DbA's final stand, having also played with Roya, The Immaculates, French Miami, and Fuckton. The night also marked the return of original member Emily Ambruso who is apparently back in the band these days.
Next up were Nashville's JEFF the Brotherhood who played in their original Jake-and-Jamin two-piece configuration as a throwback to their first-ever NYC show... which was at DbA. (A lot of bands' first shows were at DbA.) They are basically DbA family and it would've been more of a surprise if they didn't play. Not that I dislike the expanded lineup, but Jake and Jamin are such a killer locked groove, they don't need others so much. They were great on Saturday and the pit rivaled Lightning Bolt's with people banging into each other in the crowd and on top. When their set ended and the crowd screamed for more, Jake reminded folks "opening bands don't do encores!"
Oliver Ackermann and his birthday pie
Irony of ironies, Saturday was also the birthday of Death by Audio owner / pedalmaker / bartender Oliver Ackermann who also fronts noisemakers A Place to Bury Strangers. He was presented with candle-covered pies right before APTBS' set and the whole place sang "Happy Birthday." It was a nice moment. He blew out the candles and the band started the set which was white noise sensory deprivation with smoke machines, strobes, and lasers on full blast. The only time I saw a member of the band during their set was when bassist Dion Lunadon leapt onto the crowd still playing his bass.
There was a dance party in "The Ranch" in the back and people just hung out and talked till basically the sun came up. (I left about 5 AM.) Thanks again to Edan, Matt and Oliver and everyone else who worked there and made it special.

Tacticool.com is a collective of firearms enthusiasts who celebrate the pro 2nd Amendment lifestyle.
Most aftermarket sights come slightly oversized and have to be fit to the individual slide. One way of fitting the sights is to use a file to make the sites fit the slide. You do this by cutting the portion of the sights that fits into the dovetail. However, you must remember to check your work often. A little cutting can go a long way. If you over file and cut too much, your sight will be ruined and too loose in the dovetail. This person's quick fix was to epoxy the loose sight in place and hope that it would not move under recoil. While this seems like a good idea, things can go wrong and they did. As the fast curing epoxy dried it was still all over the dove tails, on the persons hand and smudged all over the slide. When we got the slide to fix it I just barely taped on the front sight and the epoxy gave way for the sight to fall out. The factory finish was discolored and the whole slide had to be abrasive blasted and refinished to make it look like brand new. A new set of Truglo TFO's were installed and properly fit to the slide without any adhesives.
If the epoxy were not enough, to make matters worse the rear dovetail was also damaged in the original install. Even after abrasive blasting and refinishing the damage was covered up and slightly hidden but could still be seen on closer inspection.


Here are some of Will Rogers quotes and I really do believe that they most certainly apply to todays candidates. You decide which one.
The promising season ends on election day. That same night, the alibi season begins and lasts for the next four years.
Our government is the only people that just love to spend money without being compelled to, at all. But the government is the only people that don't have to worry where it is coming from.
The reason that there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.
I really can't see any advantage of having one of your party as president. I would rather be able to critize a man than have to apologize for him.
Andnobody seem to be disagreeing with these statements on any thread. Wonder why?
How true the quotes of Will Rogers are? Well spoken.
you want food for thought!?how about we stop wishing life were different and play/work(we should be playful,others may turn it into work) at making our own life different!?that's called.....making a difference!?a difference others can admire and follow if they see fit!?see themselves fit in!?

There will always be those that want change and will try to impose their change onto others and there will always be those that resist that change and what is being thrust upon them. What gives anyone the right to say what is better for you, if you are content with what you have and do not wish to change?
I must say that I am brought to agree with the last sentence!
There are lots of people happy that have very little money or material means. Sometimes, they are much better off.
I remeber the simple days of military service when part of your monthly payment was that they provided a room, bath and toilet facilities and a place to eat. Ever so often they gave you orders to go to another assignment. Mostly all of your worldly belongings would fit in a merdium-sized suit case. YOu could be packed, ride to the air transport and off in an hour tota;. I was happy and didn't have a herll of a lot to worry about. As long as I took care of my responsibilites everything was great. And I did!
some of the wise men of scams.com have spoken.
And I wonder wonder who, who wrote the book of love.

The Mandalorian Season 3 Release Date: When is Season 3 Coming to Disney Plus?
By Eden Forrest January 22, 2023 No Comments4 Mins Read
When does season 3 of The Mandalorian come out? The Mandalorian, a Star Wars sci-fi show, won over viewers' hearts with its epic storyline and the way it introduced Baby Yoda. Fans can't wait for season 3 of the award-winning, Disney Plus-only show, which will feature a bunch of interesting Star Wars characters.
The Mandalorian takes place five years after the events of The Return of the Jedi. Fans had a lot of hopes for the show. The showrunner, Jon Favreau, stepped up to the challenge and made a perfect world for Pedro Pascal's The Mandalorian, aka Din Djarin, aka Mando, a lone Star Wars bounty hunter who has to find "The Child," aka Grog, also known as Baby Yoda.
Critics loved the TV show, and it won a lot of awards. Baby Yoda went on to become a pop culture icon. This story still has a lot more to tell, though. We're happy to tell you that we know a lot more about The Mandalorian season 3's release date, cast, plot, and anything else you might want to know about the Star Wars show.
The Mandalorian Season 3 Release Date
Disney has finally said that the movie will come out on March 1, 2023.

Who is in the Cast of season 3 of The Mandalorian?
The trailer shows that Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackoff, Giancarlo Esposito, and Carl Weathers are all back for season 3 of The Mandalorian.
Even though Pascal has a lot going on, like filming The Last of Us for HBO, season 3 of The Mandalorian shouldn't be delayed. The great thing about playing a masked character is that the production could use stunt doubles, and Pascal could add his voice later.
Gina Carano, aka Cara Dune, is the only cast member we know won't be back. "Gina Carano is not working for Lucasfilm right now, and there are no plans for her to start working there in the future," says a statement from the company.

In The Book of Boba Fett, Mando and Grogu got back together, and little Yoda turned his back on Luke's new Jedi order. How will this affect season 3?
Well, it means that the best father and son from different species in the galaxy are back where they belong, with each other. We also got a hint that Mando would try to make up with his fellow Mandalorians and bring his scattered people back together.
During an interview with WRAL at GalaxyCon, Esposito talked about hints about the plot of season 3. "I'm going to get this child, but not for the reason that most people think," he said. "This 50-year-old child has magical powers and can see the future, and we want everyone to know that this child could save the universe on this show."

It's winter here in WI and all my houseplants are dropping tons of leaves. Not even turning yellow. I've had most of these lots of years and they are all dropping a lot. A few is normal but this is ridiculous. I have a big scheffelera that is almost bare. !
Can you put some pictures up? This can better help me. This can be common when they don't get fertilized regularly, or due to being root bound. It just depends on each individual plant, and how often you fertilize and re pot. If you can include as much information as possible, then I can better help you. Sometimes it can be an easy solution.

Pubs in the heart of London's Touristland have always been a bit hit-and-miss, but the Harp, in Covent Garden, is a real gem. It's a genuine, characterful pub, with a great range of ales and other drinks.
Last time your author visited they even had a Uley Bitter, from the South Cotswolds, on tap, which your author can assure readers is a mark of quality. Given the great range and excellent atmosphere of the place, it's a popular spot with members of the Campaign for Real Ale, and they travel from all over the country to enjoy the Harp's hospitality, and it has won numerous accolades from local beer groups.
Given the location, the downstairs bar is almost always busy but the upstairs room is usually a little quieter, and there's a smoking space in the alleyway behind the pub. If you need something to eat the friendly bar staff can also offer you a fine sausage bap, made with finest O'Hagan's Sausages, the winner of the Britain's "Best Sausage Maker" Award.

Q: I2C single-master: Does the master have to implement repeated start? I am implementing a minimal I²C master, trying to keep it as simple as possible (but as complex as necessary).  This master is a hardware peripheral - you could consider it part of an FPGA design, controlled by software.
The initial requirement for this project is that it supports multiple slaves but not multiple masters on the bus, so I'm wondering whether I need to implement the ability to generate "repeated start" conditions.  As far as I understand those are only required retain control of the bus in the context of a multi-master setup; this is explained rather well on i2c-bus.org.
Are you aware of any slaves that strictly require the use of repeated starts? The I²C page on Wikipedia gives an example of a 24C32 EEPROM which uses repeated starts for random access reads, same is said in  the part's data sheet. But neither sources mention whether it would also work with separate WRITE and READ transactions where each transaction is terminated by a STOP condition.

A: Notwithstanding whatever that i2c-bus.org website tells you, I2C Repeated Start is not just used for multi-master arbitration. Repeated start is baked into SMBus Read-Word protocol (distinct from Receive-Word). Maxim MAX31875 temperature sensor is one example,  -- like most manufacturers, the datasheet explicitly specifies how I2C/SMBus is used on this particular IC. See page 8, SMBus protocol explicitly requires repeated start. Not start-write-regaddress-stop-start-read-stop. A stop condition cancels the operation.
If you create a 'minimal' I2C device driver that doesn't support repeated start, your device driver will be limited -- although it might work for some EEPROM, port expander, and digipots (depending on datasheets), it is 'broken' for SMBus PMBus and MIPI devices.

A: Yes, some slaves strictly require a repated start so they do exist. Repeated starts are not only used for keeping bus while in multimaster operation. Whether it affects your device is another thing, but always expect to encounter chips that need special handling in some ways. Some other slaves might require clock stretching. Repeated start is usually not that difficult to implement.

State expanding vaccine eligibility to those with some health conditions
Tim Kirsininkas Capitol News Illinois and David C.L. Bauer Journal-Courier
Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Wednesday that the state plans to expand COVID-19 vaccine eligibility by Feb. 25 to people of all ages who have co-morbidities and underlying health conditions.
Speaking at a news conference in Quincy, Pritzker said the expansion of eligibility under Phase 1B of the state's vaccine distribution plan comes as a result of increased availability of doses at the federal level.
Pritzker said the expansion would include people with co-morbidities as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, lung or heart disease and pregnancy.
"My administration will be working with all local public health departments to fit these higher-risk individuals into their community vaccination plans," Pritzker said Wednesday. "As quickly as we receive enough vaccine supply, we need to waste no time protecting them."
According to the governor's office, areas that have "substantially completed" their existing Phase 1B population can move ahead with the vaccine expansion earlier than Feb. 25 at the determination of local public health officials and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
As of Wednesday, Illinois had administered more than 1.48 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine, equaling 69% of the 2.1 million doses allocated to the state thus far. A total of 62,923 doses were administered across the state Tuesday.
Pritzker said the state has secured a 5% increase in vaccines received each week from the federal government, and he expressed optimism that the state would continue to receive more vaccine doses as a result of increased production.
"I have implored the president and his administration to get vaccines flowing at a higher rate, and they've been responsive," Pritzker said.
Pritzker praised President Joe Biden's administration for invoking the Defense Production Act and said the White House also plans to launch a new Community Health Center vaccination program in coming weeks to direct vaccines to populations "hardest hit" by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new single-dose vaccine by Johnson and Johnson also could be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in a hearing scheduled for Feb. 26. If approved, the company projects that 100 million additional doses could be made available to states by the end of June.
While production of existing vaccines continues to expand at the federal level, Pritzker urged "enormous patience" as the state works to build vaccination sites and expand its administration efforts.
"I wish I could make enough vaccine magically appear so that we could get all of our Illinoisans vaccinated right now," Pritzker said. "That will happen over the next coming months, but today we all have to exercise patience as more vaccine is being produced."
Some state lawmakers who have offered criticisms of the Pritzker administration's handling of the COVID-19 vaccine roll out in recent weeks praised Wednesday's eligibility expansion announcement.
Sen. Julie Morrison, D-Lake Forest, said she was "relieved" by the governor's announcement.
"We must take care of our most vulnerable people," Morrison said. "Those in the developmentally disabled community are presented unique challenges that put their lives in danger each day."
Senate Republican Leader Dan McConchie, R-Hawthorn Woods, described the governor's announcement as "a light at the end of a very long tunnel" for Illinois residents in need of a vaccine.
"I hope Gov. Pritzker will create a more open dialogue with the legislature to build upon this improvement, to increase effectiveness of vaccine distribution, and to ensure the state is fair and equitable to all in need," McConchie said.
Total cases in west-central Illinois counties as of Wednesday, according to individual county health departments, were:
648 total, 638 recovered, seven deaths
1,856 total, 1,812 recovered, 32 deaths
Seven new cases since Monday.
Two new cases.
Jersey County
Macoupin County
4,389 total, 3,325 recovered, 106 deaths
10 new cases and one additional death.
3,542 total, 3,345 released from restrictions, 96 deaths
12 new cases.
Four new cases.
15,673 total, 209 deaths
50 new cases and two additional deaths, those of a man in his 50s and a woman in her 70s.
643 total, 640 recovered, 16 deaths
444 total, 424 recovered, one death
Statewide, 2,825 new cases of coronavirus disease and 53 deaths were reported Wednesday, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
There have been 1,152,995 cases and 19,739 deaths in Illinois.

US DIPLOMATS CUBA! : ''MRI BRAIN MAP?''
WASHINGTON : THE brains of about 40 US diplomats injured in mysterious circumstances in Cuba have visible differences as compared to those in a control group. researchers who analyzed those hurt at Washington's request said Thursday.
The study, published in the journal of the American Medical Association and led by professors at the University of Pennsylvania, does not draw any conclusions about the cause of symptoms suffered by the diplomats from late 2016 into May 2018.
But the MRIs of the patients confirm that ''something happened to the brains of these people,'' Ragini Verma, a professor of Radiology at UPenn and co-author of the study, told AFP.
''It's not imagined,'' she said. ''All I can say is that there is a truth to be found.''
Verma added : ''Whatever happened was not due to preexisting condition, because we test for that.''
From late 2016, diplomats posted in Havana and some of their family members suffered unexplained symptoms of ranging from poor balance and vertigo, to lack of coordination, unusual eye movements, anxiety and what victims called a ''cognitive fog''.
The United States recalled most of its diplomatic personnel from the Cuban capital in September 2017.
Some of them have recovered and returned to work, but others are still undergoing rehab, according to Verma.
The US government never publicly explained the cause of the mysterious illnesses. It neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of attacks using some sort of acoustic weapon, as some US media reported, without offering proof.
Cuba has denied all responsibility for the incidents, which also affected at least 14 Canadian citizens. Ottawa also ended up recalling some of its diplomats from Havana in January.
At the request of the State Department 44 diplomats and family members were sent from mid-2017 to UPenn's brain trauma center to undergo MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] exams.
Researchers compared those results with scans from 48 comparable subjects in two control groups. The differences are statistically significant and and relate to the brains white matter as well as the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement.
A State Department spokesman welcomed the medical community's discussion on this incredibly complex issue.
The Department's top priority remains the safety, security and well being of its staff.'' Verma said it was vital to follow the diplomats and their families over time ''to see whether these changes evolve or change. [Agencies]

The transactional email is sent upon purchase of a course and includes welcome and purchase verification messages. Your system may also be set up to add the new student to an email list and interactive class group.
Next is the onboarding email, which initiates new students into the course. This includes emails to check in with the student after they begin the course to see how they are doing and whether they may have new questions or concerns.
These messages can add up to a lot of emails as your courses expand, so you need to set up automation from the start. Our LifterLMS learning management system has email handling built in, and is also compatible with more advanced systems like MailChimp and Infusionsoft. There are so many options it's easy to overcomplicate, but keep your systems simple by focusing on what you really need to accomplish.
Of course, the way you structure your message content is important. A simple, effective approach is to write your messages as though you are talking with a customer face to face. For online courses, consider the student experience in a conventional campus setting.
How would you present your courses to a student walking into your campus offices? First you would describe the courses you offer in response to what the student wants to learn. When they are ready to enroll, you perform the transaction, hand them a tuition receipt, and give them their schedule and room numbers. After they have attended a few classes, follow up with them to make sure everything is working out for them. Then you can introduce new courses related to their chosen subjects.
With online courses you are basically encapsulating an entire university into your learning management system: marketing department, admissions office, students, instructors, and areas where students can gather and interact. Every part is vital to the whole.
With LifterLMS you can start out with one or two courses using the options and capacity already built in. As you learn more about how to understand email options in learning management systems, LifterLMS allows you to expand your platform through compatibility with other larger systems and platforms. Try a demo of lifterLMS and see for yourself what it can do for you.
Joshua: Hello, Everyone. Welcome back to another episode of LMScast. I'm Joshua Millage. I'm joined today with Christopher Badgett. Today we're talking about how to understand email options in learning management systems. What does that even mean, Chris?
Christopher: I think we all take for granted what an email is, or what it is in the context of something. With LifterLMS, our learning management system plugin, it comes with these engagement emails that you can set up which are triggered based on an action. I just want to rattle off and brainstorm with you all the different types of emails there are. They're very different, so it's important to understand what that email option is in the context of what you're trying to do.
You can have marketing emails that maybe go to prospects that haven't bought your course or enrolled in your online school yet, or whatever. You've got marketing emails that may go to people who are already enrolled, telling them about a new course available or something like that. You have transactional emails which happen if somebody purchases something. LifterLMS can send you a welcome email, or if you're using the WooCommerce integration, it's going to send you that transactional email. We've done and looked at advanced transactional email for high volume learning management systems with Mandrill, which is another part of MailChimp.
We've created our own MailChimp extension that allows you to add … when someone joins your platform or joins a course, you can add them to a group or an email list. We've done the same with Infusionsoft. There's just so many different types of email. It's important to look at what are you trying to do. Don't overcomplicate your email, but if you're ready to do some advanced email marketing and email engagement, we're there for you.
Christopher: That's a great example.
Joshua: … and break it down into how you would speak to people in those, and you have them in each category. I think also because we're talking about learning management systems, maybe a better analogy would be a classroom. Go figure, right? How would you talk to someone who's trying to figure out what class to register for? How would you talk to someone as they've registered in the class and they're a part of the class. That's really important. I think it's breaking it down for each phase and then really putting yourself in the mindset and visualizing the experience that you would want to have with someone in person, and then beginning writing.
That's what I try and do when I write emails. I just forget that I'm writing email, and I sit back and I zone in on what's the experience that I want them to have and go from there.
Christopher: Absolutely. I think that's a really neat analogy. If you look at it with a university, there's these different departments. There's the marketing department, the admissions office, the teachers themselves as they're interacting with students in the class. There's the way students interact with each other. As a education entrepreneur with these modern technology tools at your fingertips, you can now combine all that functionality and architect your own platform and take over on that kind of messaging. You've got to play at all levels, because if you build great inside the course communications but you don't have great marketing, you might not be able to grow your platform.
Joshua: Right, every piece of the puzzle needs to be connected. It's really important to do that. That's great, Chris. I think this is a shorter episode, but I feel like it's really jam-packed and to the point. I hope that everyone starts to break up their email communications into these phases, because I think they're going to have a much better experience connecting with their customers and students. We want to know what you think about this. If you're on YouTube, leave us a comment. If you're on the blog, leave us a comment underneath this post. I know that Chris and I would love to get some insights into how you're viewing this content and what you think about this idea. Chris, you have any final thoughts for the crew?
Christopher: Yeah, I would just give an example of how to think about emails if you are using LifterLMS. With our plugin, I would consider using engagement emails for, let's say, after a student completes a lesson and so on, or the reengagement if they haven't logged in 14 days. Use LifterLMS. If I was going to do a big platform with a lot of courses and options moving forward, I might consider purchasing our MailChimp extension. That doesn't mean I will stop using the engagements, but I would want to be building targeted email lists and use the MailChimp group functionality that I know if this person bought this cooking video, and I want to send more of a marketing message, that's what MailChimp does really well. I would divide. Put my marketing with MailChimp and my engagement with Lifter if I was planning on building a bigger, more complex platform.
Joshua: Yeah, that's really helpful. Right on. Thank you Everyone for listening. We'll see you next week.

City raises Covid alert level to high, advises masks
New York City has raised its Covid-19 alert level to high amid increasing pressure on the health care system.
The city upped the warning Tuesday from medium after signaling Monday the change could be imminent.
Guidance during a high-alert level encourages New Yorkers to wear a mask in all public indoor settings and crowded outdoor settings. Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that he was not at the point of reinstating a mask requirement.
City nears high Covid alert level, may consider requiring masks
Mask mandate for planes, trains overturned by federal judge
Alert levels take into account cases, hospital admissions and the percentage of inpatient beds that are occupied by Covid-19 patients. Early in May, the city moved to a medium alert from low after surpassing 200 new cases per 100,000 people over a seven-day period.
As of May 13, new cases were at 292. A high alert level is triggered when new hospital admissions in a seven-day period surpass 10 per 100,000 and the percentage of staffed inpatient beds occupied by Covid-19 patients is greater than 10%, according to guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
New admissions were at 9.8 per 100,000 and increasing as of May 13, while 4.14% of inpatients beds were occupied by Covid-19 patients.
Dr. Ashwin Vasan, the city's health commissioner, said he expects the current wave's peak won't last long if residents follow the guidance.

Charleston City Market
THE Place to Shop for Charleston Souvenirs
Open Daily 10AM – 4PM, 365 Days a Year
Located in Downtown Historic Charleston, Between North and South Market Streets.
It all began nearly 220 years ago when a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. One of Charlestons most colorful relics has survived a tumultuous past, out lasting tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and bombardment from without and within.
Located near the waterfront in the Ansonborough area ( the first actual suburb in America, c, 1727), the property was built on low lying marshland and a small tidal creek which were gradually filled in between 1804 and 1807 and were by then high enough to erect the market stalls.
The main building was built in 1841 and is an apparent modification of the Grecian-Doric temple of "The Wingless Victory" at Athens. The cornice is ornamented with ram's and bull's heads, a survival of the Greek custom of hanging in the temple skulls of animals sacrificed to the gods, later symbolized in conventional architecture.
The rifled cannon on the upper portico of the market is said to be the first manufactured in America. Archibald Cameron made it for the Confederate Government in 1861. Market Hall is used by the United Daughters of the Confederacy for the preservation of articles of historic interest connected with the War Between the States.
Below Market Hall was a spacious portico which was used as a meat and fish market. For sanitation purposes the three buildings behind Market Hall, which sold fruits and vegetables with other produce brought direct from island plantations were set apart.
Today when visiting Charleston, the City Market is a must to see. There are a total of four buildings spanning from Meeting Street to East Bay Street. An assortment of wares is sold by hundreds of vendors. Contrary to popular belief and hard to overcome, is the reputation of the City Market being a flea market. It is not! Most merchandise is first quality, some indicative to the area and some not. Sweet grass basket weavers can be seen in every building, along with, local artists, jewelry, tapestry, souvenirs, church dolls,afghans, rugs, rice, beans and sauces, local candies and cookies and much more. The horse and carriages gallop by with people from all over the world, restaurants line both North and South Market street. The atmosphere is festive and the southern.

A vast scrapyard dominates the landscape in a spot that was once one of the busiest steel mills along the famous American Rust Belt on February 7, 2012 in Youngstown, Ohio.
Trying to steer clear of the clunkers lurking at your local wheels dealership? Then you may wish to avoid these autos.
Out of the all the latest models, these cars ranked lowest in their respective categories, according to Consumer Reports. The product reviewer's leaderboard—or loser-board, in this case—grades the 10 types of vehicles based on several metrics, including road testing, reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety scores.
Each of the following—sedans, trucks, and SUVs ranging from Mitsubishi (msbhy) to Daimler's (ddaif) Mercedes Benz—weren't up to snuff, by Consumer Reports measure. The list of "lemons" spans Ford (f) to Fiat Chrysler (fcau), and General Motors (gm) to Tata's (ttm) Land Rovers.
"In other words," writes Consumer Reports, clarifying its anti-endorsements, "every other model in those categories is a better choice." Ouch.
For the glass-half-full lot however, consider that these models are at least likely to be sticker price negotiable.


On your journey through the Baker residence, you'll occasionally come across these items called Antique Coins. The item description isn't very helpful, and you won't be able to use them till after you've cleared the first main boss fight.
After you've escaped the main house, you'll find an RV parked right before you enter the game's second area. Here, you'll find a save room, an item box, and a few peculiar cages. These cages actually contain valuable character and weapon upgrades that will make the game a little easier for you. However, in order to open the cages, you'll need to spend your Antique Coins. The Coin cost to open them up can be found at the bottom of each cage, and there will be a note on the top of the cages, telling you exactly what each special upgrade will do for you.
Once you've decided on the upgrade you want to purchase, interact with the cage and spend the required number of Antique Coins. The cage will open and offer up your prize. Remember to actually use the upgrade item for it to take effect.

John Maguire was a tall, bearded, right-arm fast-medium bowler who played three Tests for Australia in 1983-84. Although he made his state debut in 1977-78, it wasn't until 1981-82 that he secured a regular place. In 1982-83 he took 28 wickets and made the first of his 23 one-day appearances. In April 1983 he toured Sri Lanka without playing in a Test, but the following December made his debut against Pakistan at Melbourne. He played twice more on the 1983-84 tour of West Indies, taking 26 wickets at 24.80 on the trip. He was picked for the 1985 tour of England, but instead decided to throw in his lot with the rebel side which toured South Africa. In the twilight of his career he played two seasons for Eastern Province (1989-1991) and one for Leicestershire (1991).

Green Day postpones Hella Mega U.S. stadium tour, while Motley Crue reunion tour is in doubt
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day performs onstage during the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. His band's 2020 Hella Mega tour has been pushed back to next year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Both tours include back-to-back San Diego shows at Petco Park in July
By George Varga
After postponing the European leg of their Hella Mega summer stadium tour earlier this spring, Green Day, Fall out Boy and Weezer on Tuesday postponed the rest of their 2020 world tour until next year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The postponed shows include a July 24 San Diego concert at Petco Park.
In a statement posted on social media, the three bands wrote: "Hopefully this doesn't come as a surprise, but as much as we were all looking forward to seeing you all this summer, everyone's safety is our highest priority so we've officially made the call to reschedule all North American dates of the Hella Mega tour until next year. We'll be announcing summer 2021 dates with the same venues very soon, so hold on to those tickets. All ticket holders will be emailed directly with refund options as well. Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you in 2021."
Meanwhile, the Motley Crue reunion tour with Def Leppard and several other bands, which includes a July 23 Petco Park show, appears to also be in doubt. The veteran hair-metal band last week released a statement suggesting The Stadium Tour, as they are billing it, would be pushed back.
The statement reads: "We wanted to reach out to all of our amazing fans and let you know that we've been hard at work preparing an amazing show. Our priority during this unprecedented time is to make sure that we are being as thoughtful and responsible as possible in the decisions we are making regarding The Stadium Tour and that we are putting the fans' health, well being and safety first and foremost. We are currently weighing all options and are awaiting further direction from the powers that be. Our goal is to have an official update to everyone by June 1 outlining exactly how we will proceed. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy. We cant wait to see you all again."
As of this writing, tickets are still on sale for the Petco Park concerts by Green Day and Motley Crue, and no official information has been issued regarding refunds.

Stewart already was setting himself apart from other talented drivers as an equally talented team owner long before Stewart-Haas Racing was even a remote possibility, where from a 200,000-square-foot facility in Kannapolis, North Carolina, approximately 280 employees work on behalf of Aric Almirola's No. 10 Ford Fusion, Kevin Harvick's No. 4 Ford Fusion, Clint Bowyer's No. 14 Ford Fusion and teammate Kurt Busch's No. 41 Ford Fusion. As tenacious as Stewart is in the cockpit of a racecar, he's proven equally adept at providing cars and equipment for racing's dirt-track elite.In November 2000, Stewart formed Tony Stewart Racing (TSR), and since its inaugural season in 2001, TSR has earned 22 owner championships – 14 in USAC and eight in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series.Operating out of a state-of-the-art 25,000-square-foot facility in Brownsburg, Indiana, TSR campaigns a WoO team for nine time series champion Donny Schatz. Schatz earned TSR's most recent title when he scored the 2017 WoO championship with a series-best 20 wins, 33 top-two, 66 top-five and 74 top-10 finishes in 81 races. One of those wins came in the prestigious Knoxville (Iowa) Nationals, the 11th for TSR.In addition to TSR, Stewart also owns the legendary Eldora Speedway. The half-mile dirt oval is where Stewart frequently raced as an up-and-coming USAC driver, and it hosts several of the year's largest dirt racing events, which in 2013 included a first-ever stop by the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. It was the first time in more than four decades that a top NASCAR series had competed on dirt. Stewart has proven to be a hands-on owner, assisting with everything from preparing the track to handing out awards during the season-ending championship banquet. Stewart is also part-owner of two other racetracks – Paducah (Ky.) International Raceway and Macon (Ill.) Speedway.
Making the 2010 selection even more noteworthy was that Stewart won and earned $100,000 for his Foundation. And in 2013, Stewart earned the prestigious NMPA Myers Brothers award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the sport of stock car racing.Stewart, who is engaged to Pennelope Jimenez, still calls Columbus home. He has a sister, Natalie, who assists with Tony Stewart Fan Club initiatives along with their mom, Pam Boas, who also is involved with his Foundation.

Porsche Says New High-Performance Mission E Electric Car Is Not A Tesla Model S Hunter
Jaclyn Trop
I decipher the world of sheet metal for the masses.
Mar 22, 2018, 03:53am EDT |
Porsche CEO Oliver Blume says the brand's forthcoming Mission E electric car is not a direct rival... [+] to the Tesla Model S.
Porsche will mark its 70 birthday with a $7.4 billion investment to vault the German performance carmaker into the electric age. The funds will help Porsche electrify one-third of its lineup by 2022, introduce its first battery-powered sports car and SUV, and create a fast-charging network.
When it arrives next year, the Mission E is expected to exceed 600 horsepower, reach 60 m.p.h. in under 3.5 seconds, hit a top speed of 155 m.p.h., and travel more than 300 miles on a fully charged battery. Though the numbers rival the only other high-performance electric sedan currently on the market, executives insisted that the new model is not meant to challenge the Tesla Model S. "Tesla is not a benchmark for us," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said at the company's annual press conference on Friday.
The investment includes more than $859 million for a new factory at Porsche's headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, with the eventual goal to produce 20,000 Mission E's annually. The saloon, whose production name has not been confirmed, will be sized between Porsche's 911 sports car and Panamera sedan and priced similar to the latter, which starts in the mid $80,000s. Production calls for a new platform, which will be shared by the Mission E Cross Turismo, a forthcoming crossover version unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, and an additional 1,200 workers.
The key differentiator between the Mission E and its rivals will be its quick charging time, said Dr. Robert Meier, a senior director from the battery-electric program. The car is expected to reach an 80% charge in 15 minutes when equipped with an 800-volt battery and in 40 minutes with its standard 400-volt battery. Porsche will enter the car next year in the Formula E racing series, where it expects to learn more about the car's engine and thermal management systems in order to tweak production models.
The focus on battery power follows a record year for Porsche, with global sales up 4%, and is part of a larger effort within its Volkswagen Group parent company to distance itself from diesel engines and launch more electric vehicles. Last week, VW said it would invest $25 billion in battery supplies to equip 16 factories that will produce dozens of new models.
Meanwhile, part of the $7.4 billion investment will support Porsche's bid to become the leading provider of digital mobility in premium segment, executives said. That includes hundreds of millions of dollars earmarked over the next two years to build a network of fast-charging stations and support the development of connected services, which are projected to generate 10% of Porsche's revenues in the "mid-term," said Lutz Meschke, deputy chairman of the executive board.
But Porsche, which recently built its 1 millionth 911, says it has no plans to make self-driving cars. "We don't envision any Porsche without a steering wheel," said Detlev von Platen, a member of the executive board for sales and marketing. Autonomous capabilities might be useful for certain situations, such as navigating gridlock or showing the racing lines on a track before handing control to the driver, but "it needs to make sense for Porsche expectations and values," said von Platen. "Driving a Porsche in a traffic jam, I'm not sure this is the heart of the fascination."


This week, I was helping my Dad go through an old trunk of old letters and family photos from my great grandparents' family. That night, I had a vivid dream where I saw an ashen-looking man looking at me through a glass pane. Whenever I have a dream with a piece of glass between me and a person who looks kind of grey, I know it is a ghost. I also wake up right after a dream like that and remember every detail. The glass represents the outer edge of my clear energy bubble and the grey-colored face, represents someone in the ghostly realm. In the dream, the man was surprised that I had seen him. He also seemed like a really kind man who was helping hide two people who were running away with their belongings. I had read a long paper that day from one of the trunks, that explained how my family had helped set slaves free, kept a married slave couple from being separated in a sale, and helped the couple and many other African Americans, financially, when they struggled to make it on their own after the emancipation. The paper was not signed, so I don't know exactly who wrote it, but I am wondering if the writer was the ghost who appeared to me in my dream. This morning, I did a quick tuneup on myself and set the man free from the ghostly realm by sending him into the Light. It felt good to help someone who had helped so many others make it to a better place.
If you feel like you have a ghost around you, a tuneup is all it takes to help them to the other side. Private message me, explaining what you think is going on. Within 24 hours, I will clear it and text you that "I cleared you." I do not give details with these texts. I just clear you so that you can feel lighter and they can move on.

Gaslighting in America
A Guide for Historic Preservation
Polychromed Gothic Revival fixtures from Cornelius and Sons catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 80
The 7-1/2-foot high standard and brackets shown here in the undated Cornelius and Sons catalogue were meant to be ecclesiastical fixtures, polychromed with accents of red and blue. They were probably designed by J. M. Beesley. [130] A precedent for this polychromed, or "decorated" standard of ivy-ornamented Gothic Revival pattern (and also for the use of large coronas in church lighting) was set at least as early as 1853, by the use of similar gas standards in the restoration of the 15th-century St. Botolph's Church in Boston, Lincolinshire. That major English parish church installation was illustrated and described in the Illustrated London News as follows:
The arrangement of the lights is novel and successful. Instead of the usual plain of solitary brackets scattered ineffectively over the church, there are rich brass standards, each bearing a considerable number of jets, and producing a vista of light. Over the font is suspended a magnificent corona bearing nearly a hundred lights. The adaptation of the modern invention of gas to ancient churches, so as not to destroy the effect of their architectural structure by incongruous fittings, has long been one of the most vexed problems of church restoration. The most fastidious stickler for ancient precedent would acknowledge that the richly-decorated standards and the crown of light at the western end harmonise so entirely with the whole building in its restored aspect, that they might almost be deemed part of the original design. [131]
Coronas such as that installed by Cornelius and Sons in the Columbus Avenue Universalist Church in Boston in 1873 and the one (probably by Mitchell, Vance and Company) that hung in Trinity Church, Boston from 1877 until the 1930s were apparently popular for major American Victorian Gothic churches of the 1860s and 1870s. The original model for them was probably the magnificent corona given in 1168 by Friedrich Barbarossa to Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle). [132]

Gothic Revival brackets from Archer and Pancoast Company catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 81
The Archer and Pancoast Manufacturing Company had a prominent display at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia. This plate shows that the New York firm, founded by Ellis S. Archer, competed with Cornelius and Sons in the church fixture field with their own version of the Gothic Revival ivy pattern, albeit some of their burners had shades instead of being left unshaded in the more conventionally "Gothic" manner. These brackets were "decorated" in gilt, red, and blue. The rather prickly silhouettes of the ivy leaves suited the taste of the 1870s for stylized outlines. This plate is one of a series of 110 now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, all but the last three of which are lithographed in color. Among the lithographers are Brett Fairchild and Company, Brett and Company, and Schumacher and Ettlinger. The plate numbers ruin at least as high as 262, so there may well have once been additional chromolithographs now lost. The extant plates include illustrations of such less frequently encountered types of fixtures as "toilets" (chandeliers suspended from brackets for use at dressing tables), cigar lighters, and reflectors as well as the more often illustrated chandeliers, brackets, lamps, pendants, and pillars.
The previous history of the firm that did business under the name of the Archer and Pancoast Manufacturing Company from 1870 until it ceased operations in 1900 has already been traced (see plates 21 and 45 of this report). During the 1860s and 1870s it was certainly the principal New York rival of Mitchell, Vance and Company, and in 1876 seven of its fixtures were illustrated in an article that described the firm as follows: "Archer and Pancoast M'F'G Co., Designers, and Manufacturers of Gasaliers, Candelabra, Artistic Bronzes, Etc... one of the largest and most popular manufacturers of this class of goods..., has grown to immense proportions." [133]

Pendants and brackets from Archer and Pancoast Company catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 82
These angular bronze-finished Archer and Pancoast hall pendants clearly show the reaction against the earlier Neo-Rococo style that came about during the 1860s and continued during the 1870s under the stylistic misnomer, "Eastlake." Nothing in these designs can be called Neo-Grec. The pendant at the upper left, no. 905, is decidedly eclectic. It has the angularity of the Eastlake manner, combined with putti (in a rather disconsolate looking crouch) who look like refugees from the earlier, more romantic style of the 1850s. The pendants vary in length from 42 to 52 inches. Note the smoke bells and the single set screws securing the shades. A hall pendant similar in general style to these hangs in the hall of the restored Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut. That house was originally completed in 1874. [134]
The two brackets seem also to refer back to an earlier romanticism. One of the figurines appears to be a Greek evzone, perhaps Marco Bozzaris, the hero of Fitz-Greene Halleck's once famous poem of that name. The other is in female oriental garb, possibly representing Thomas Moore's Lalla Rookh.
Center slide chandeliers and bracket from Archer and Pancoast Company catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 83
The Archer and Pancoast plate no. 224 shows two chandeliers and a single bracket finished in bronze with touches of gilding. The Neo-Grec center-slide chandelier at the left could have been intended for either a library, a dining room, or a back parlor. It has none of the specific symbolism that signified "appropriateness" as that term was understood by style-conscious Victorians. The chandelier at the right has minor details that relate to the Eastlake manner as it was interpreted commercially in America. It was almost certainly intended for use in a dining room, since the stag's heads above the branches were meant to represent edible game. The left-hand chandelier measured 5 feet high by just under 3 feet wide, and the one at the right was 4 feet 4 inches high with a spread of 2 feet 2 inches. Presumably the heights were measured with the center slides closed. Note that all burners were counted when describing center-slide fixtures: thus, a "seven-light" center-slide fixture had six branches plus the central burner.
Engraving of center-slide chandelier by Archer and Pancoast Company, 1876. Plate 84
Competition in the manufacture of center-slide chandeliers was evidently keen. Mitchell, Vance and Company boasted of the "superiority over all others" of their "patent double slide centre light chandelier," while Archer and Pancoast dubbed the "extension centre light attachment" they patented in May 1874, with the inspiring name "Excelsior." This illustration of a chandelier incorporating an "Excelsior" center-light was published in London by the Art Journal in 1876. [135] The accompanying text under the heading "American Art-Manufactures" reads as follows:
We present a design for a gas-chandelier selected from the exhibition-rooms of Messrs. Archer, Pancoast and Company, of New York. It is in the style of the time Louis XIV [a stylistic attribution that would have astonished the Sun King], and is intended for the drawing-room or library. With the extension centre-light attachment, which is known as the "Excelsior," and patented under that name in May 1874, it is also especially adapted for use in the dining-room. The attachment admits of the lowering of the centre-light, and argand burner, from the main body of the chandelier to any desirable distance. The mechanism of the attachment is plain and simple in construction, and its operation is free from many of the intricate contrivances peculiar to slide-chandeliers as heretofore made.... The general effect of the chandelier is light and graceful and yet the central standard renders it unusually strong and massive. The ornamental work is of the finest workmanship, and the whole is richly gilt. It was designed by Mr. J. F. Travis. [136] The centre-light attachment was awarded a silver medal, at the recent fair of the American Institute; and a similar medal was also given to the firm for the superior quality of their work....

Chandeliers from Archer and Pancoast Company catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 85
Plate no. 262 in the Archer and Pancoast series shows two gilded chandeliers probably designed for drawing or reception rooms. Possibly the example on the left would have been called "in the style of the time of Louis XIV," and it is probable that the one on the right would have been so described in the 1870s. The age of accurate copying of past styles had not yet arrived; free interpretation of historic modes was still the prevailing practice. The six-light chandelier was 53 inches high and had a spread of 31 inches. The two claws opposite the set screw can clearly be seen engaging the bases of the two right-hand shades, a detail that is rarely illustrated. The 12-light gas candle chandelier at the right was 51 inches high and 28 inches wide.
The right hand chandelier is one of the very few Archer and Pancoast fixtures shown with gas candles. None of the 92 fixtures of all varieties shown in the Cornelius and Sons catalogue has gas candles, and only one (a church chandelier) of the 12 fixtures illustrated in the Mitchell, Vance and Company Centennial Catalogue (really more a brochure than a full-fledged catalogue) has them. When gas candles were used during the 1860s and 1870s, they were most often in dining rooms. Had this chandelier been intended for a dining room, however, it would probably have had a center-slide light. Aside from their use in church fixtures, gas candles appear to have been reserved almost exclusively for dwellings of some consequence until nearly the end of the century. Then they were often used on combination gas and electric fixtures. [137] In this plate the shape of the burners and the glass bobeches and porcelain or opaque glass "candle" sleeves can be clearly seen.
Reflectors from Archer and Pancoast Company catalogue, probably 1876. Plate 86
The last three uncolored plates in the Archer and Pancoast series illustrate reflectors. Patents for reflectors were registered as early as 1860 (by another manufacturer, Isaac P. Frink), but the devices seem to have reached their greatest proliferation during the 1870s. They were essentially a sideline of Archer and Pancoast's business, but the firm obviously felt that aspect of the trade sufficiently worthwhile to warrant securing patents based on minor variations of the basic patents secured by another manufacturer. Reflectors were lined with either mirrored glass or silvered metal and were used wherever intense, concentrated light was required. They were made in various sizes, depending on the area to be illuminated. Note that Archer and Pancoast's customers were instructed as follows: "In ordering Reflectors or Chandeliers, send size of room to be lighted, and state if they are to be inserted In or suspended From ceiling." The large picture, "No. 900—Double Cone Reflector" appears to have been designed for insertion in a ceiling. Presumably inserted fixtures were connected with vents to draw off the heat. The "Ornamental Double Cone Reflector" at the lower left was intended "For Stores, Churches, Reading Rooms, &c." and could be fitted for either "Gas or Kerosene," as could the "Octagonal Show Window Reflector" and the "Plain Double Cone Reflector" adjoining it. The octagonal shade on the bracket at the lower right was "Lined with Silver Plated Glass." The show window reflector was used in connection with an eight-burner gas "T" and met a comparatively new demand engendered by the rapidly increasing use of large sized plate glass in store windows. [138]
Yale classroom with reflector chandeliers. Plate 87
The classroom used by Professor Othiniel Charles Marsh (1831-1899) at Yale was lighted by what appear to be Archer and Pancoast's Plain Double Cone Reflectors (cf. plate 86). The pioneer paleontologist's students evidently required more light than the stained glass windows of the Peabody Museum lecture room could admit in order to take their notes. Observe that the striations of the reflecting surfaces of the shade are at right angles to those of the inner cone, a device to increase the reflective power of the light.

A reconstruction of reflectors used at the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876. Plate 88
The manufacturing business established in 1857 by Isaac P. Frink specialized in making reflectors. Between April 10, 1860, and April 3, 1883, Frink registered at least 13 patents for reflectors. [139] The I. P. Frink brochure for 1883, referred to "Frink's Patent Reflectors for gas, kerosene, electric, or day-light" and called his device "the Great Church Light for churches, halls, theaters, depots, stores, and public buildings generally." Frink's improved silver-plated corrugated crystal glass reflectors were praised as the best reflectors available. Because gas was listed first as a source of light, it seems safe to assume that most, or at least a majority, of the Frink reflectors were fitted with gas burners. The brochure concludes with a list of 406 presumably satisfied customers and an analysis of that list provides an excellent indication of the uses of most of the reflectors. The list included 243 testimonials from churches, most of them nonliturgical in their form of worship; for instance, 111 were from Methodist churches. Churches using older forms of liturgy tended to favor the Gothic Revival styles.
Theaters formed the next largest building category and together with halls numbered 51. Among the 15 government buildings listed were the statehouses of Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as the Canadian Houses of Parliament in Ottawa. Among the structures furnished with I. P. Frink reflectors by 1883 were: railroad stations (including Grand Central Depot in New York City), steamship piers (including the French Line and Inman Line), market buildings, armories, locomotive works, and other factories, exhibition halls (including Mechanics' Hall in Boston), business and commerce buildings (including the New York Life Insurance Company and Tiffany's store), and the picture galleries of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the earlier Century Club building in New York.
The fixture shown here is an electrically lighted reconstruction by the Smithsonian Institution of the type of fixture used to light the main exhibition building at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The originals, of course, were gaslighted and the reconstruction, made for the Smithsonian exhibition titled "1876 A Centennial Exhibition," is based on photographs. The original fixtures appear to have been Frink reflectors, although the Centennial is not listed among the installations in the 1883 Frink brochure.
One use of reflectors has yet to be mentioned—the illumination of billiard tables. A fixture with three reflecting shades may be seen over the billiard table at the restored Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut. [140]

Milwaukee Department Store Interior, ca. 1870. Plate 89
This detail from a W. H. Sherman stereograph of Chapman's Dry Goods Emporium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, shows a typical four-light chandelier ca. 1870. Another view of the same store shows one of the long aisles leading to the dome lighted by at least six chandeliers matching this one. Although reflectors might have provided more efficient light for shop interiors, it is probable that they did not conform to the public's notion of elegance. Views of store interiors made during the 1870s almost invariably show more or less ornamental chandeliers. It therefore seems likely that the use of reflectors in commercial emporia was confined to the display windows.

Soo.. it's been a busy week at Alaskan Kennels! We entered three teams in the Alaska Excursions 120 and I entered my team in the Knik 200 and (thanks to my employer and main sponsor Underdog Feeds) the Northern Lights 300.
1) Complete successfully in several mid-distance races in Alaska. This being my rookie racing season in Alaska, successful is determined first by a healthy dog team and musher, second by standing.
2) Qualify for Yukon Quest and/or Iditarod.
As a team, we have a lot to learn. We need to learn to camp. We need to outfit ourselves properly for the Alaskan winter. We need to eat properly, and we need to learn our limits. This season will be all about experimentation but most of all, FUN.

Roof trusses crush fabricator
10 Jul 18 A roof truss manufacturer has been fined £82,000 after a stack of trusses fell onto a worker.
Safety failings at Bartram Manufacturing, which manufactures wooden roofing trusses in Beeston, led to an employee suffering multiple fractures after the stack toppled onto him.
Luton Magistrates Court heard last week how the man suffered multiple fractures after a fork lift truck reversed into a stack of roof trusses, causing them to fall onto him. Pinned against his workbench, he fractured a knee cap and 14 ribs.
An investigation by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) into the incident, which occurred on 1st March 2017, found that the company failed to manage health and safety in three separate areas. The company failed to identify safe methods of delivering work materials inside the production areas, it did not provide suitable training and it did not supervise workers to ensure they worked safely.
Bartram Manufacturing Limited of High Road, Beeston pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The company was fined £82,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,804.40 as well as a victim surcharge of £170.
HSE inspector Emma Page said after the hearing: "Those in control of work have a responsibility to devise safe methods of working and to provide the necessary information, instruction and training to their workers in the safe system of working. If a safe system of work had been in place prior to the incident, the severe injuries sustained by the employee could have been prevented."

Pastor Fatoyinbo Breaks Silence, Denies Rape Allegations
king James 3 weeks ago
Pastor Fatoyinbo
With the trending news of top person's mover in the Nigerian being involved in rape cases one has to be very careful, as one of 20th generation churches Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo has broken the silence on the allege case of rape, saying he is innocent of the allegations levelled against him as he has never raped anybody.
Busola Dakolo, a mom of three, in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, a Nigerian lawyer, journalist and media entrepreneur, revealed that she was raped repeatedly by the pastor at different times.
She said: "Immediately I opened the door (of her house in Ilorin), he just pushed me, he didn't say anything, he didn't utter any word, he just pushed me to one of the chairs in my living room. I saw him, he was removing his belt, he just said: 'keep quiet, (put his hand on my mouth), do what I want you to do and you will be fine."
Reacting to the story that has gone viral on social media, Fatoyinbo, in a statement on his Instagram page denied the act, saying "I have never raped before , not even as an unbeliever."
He said he was aware that there had been a recent media publication on YouTube by YNaija operated by Red Media Group which showed an interview by Chude Jideonwo with Busola Dakolo.

According to him, prior to now, "we had adhered to our policy of ignoring rumours from social media accounts as we knew that several statements had been made to extort the church of money and myself through blackmail, harassment and intimidation.
"We have refused time and time again to accede to their request, which has infuriated them overtime, because of this, they have gotten more aggressive.
"Unlike previous statements where innuendos were used and there was no direct mention of myself or the church, the recent video released on YouTube has now made direct criminal allegations against me in the interview granted by Busola Dakolo which are fallacious, non-existent and which are all denied in every message.
"As an individual and as a Church, we love and support people, and we will never condone any form of abuse, rape, harassment, or intimidation of anybody. I have never in my life raped anybody even as an unbeliever and I am absolutely innocent of this."
