The Evolution of Governments and Laws: Exhibiting the Governmental ..., Volum 1

Condicions de servei
severalty for from one to three years by the freemen of the tribe, but did not entertain the artificial notion of a title which continued through all time as an absolute property, even of the tribes. The Romans made no distinction in theory between title to land and to cattle and slaves employed in tillage. The feudal system came with the seizure of the lands of the Romans and others in Gaul by the invading Franks. Dominion over the land and the conquered people were acquired contemporaneously, and in granting local jurisdiction and mastery, whether as a mere landowner or as an agent of the sovereign power, Charlemagne exacted an oath of fealty. The high regard in which the authority of the church had come to be held and the fearful consequences, spiritual and temporal, which were believed to result from a violated oath, gave to the form of swearing fealty a force and value deemed of first importance. The object of the kings in parcelling out the land among feudatories was to secure their own dominion by the military service which their vassals were bound to furnish. The counts and Margraves appointed by Charlemagne under his vigorous rule obeyed his commands and carried out his policy, but under his weak successors the feudal system developed power in the local lord, who became a despot over those beneath him, a jealous and contentious neighbor to his equals and a haughty and often rebellious vassal of the king. On his own estate the feudal lord administered what had to pass for justice. The actual tillers of the soil were without protection as against him. The practice of building strong castles, within which the barons defied all authority and from which they issued to rob the passing merchant or to wage war on some neighbor nowhere gained more ample development than along the Rhine, Danube and throughout Germany. Not all of the lands of Germany were held by feudal tenure. The village system prevailed largely in the south, and peasant communities with lands in common have survived in various parts to the present day. It would be a tedious and perhaps profitless task to trace the endless wars for succession to power and the ever changing frontiers of the German emperors, who held more or less sway, according to their varying
capacities and the shifting combinations of local rulers with which they were forced to contend. Charlemagne was crowned at Rome by the Pope and held real power in Italy. In 918 Henry, Duke of Saxony, was chosen Emperor and, being a capable and vigorous ruler, extended his authority over the whole German population and in a great battle defeated the Magyars, who were the scourge of Germany at that time. He encouraged the building of towns for the traders, which were made places of defense, and at that early day introduced a check on the tendency of the great lords to draw all the freemen to their support as vassals. The towns steadily developed as centers of industry and trade, and their spirit of independence, which has never disappeared, has profoundly influenced German civilization in all succeeding ages. Probably this development should be attributed more to the genius of the people than to the policy of Henry. At Henry's request the nobles after his death chose his son Otto as his successor. He not only preserved but extended the bounds of the empire. He added Lombardy to his dominions and received the imperial crown from the hands of the Pope. Henceforth the German emperors assumed the title of Roman emperors and claimed to rule the Holy Roman empire, whether receiving the crown from the Pope or not and without regard to the possession of real power in Italy. Otto had to contend with rebellious subjects. The Roman title and efforts to rule Italy proved a source of weakness rather than strength to his successors. The real governing power soon fell into the hands of local potentates holding large estates, or of leaders chosen by the people in contests with the invading Northmen, Magyars and Slavs, against whom the Emperors failed to give protection. We read of dukes of Saxony, Bavaria, Swabia, Lorraine and Franconia, whose power and influence grew as feudal lords. Many unprotected owners of free or allodial lands, being at the mercy of more powerful neighbors, chose to surrender their holdings to a powerful chief and take them back as fiefs under the protection of the feudal lord. The central power was without sufficient vigor to restrain the great lords, who levied war on one another at will. The imperial
power ceased to be recognized as an inheritance after the accession to the throne of Arnuld, the illegitimate son of Carlman: thereafter the Emperors were elected. In 911 Conrad of Franconia was chosen by the nobles under the lead of Otto duke of Saxony. From that time down to the final separation of Austria and Germany in recent times the office was filled by election, but the number of electors was very limited. It was the choosing of an Emperor by princes who exercised more real power than he. The local rulers under the titles of graf, herzog, Margrave, land grave, king, elector and other designations of lay rulers, and the bishops, archbishops, abbots and other ecclesiastical rulers, were each subjected to restraining influences of varying potency according to times and circumstances. The kings and grand dukes, who acquired authority over considerable districts, were dependent for their military following on their feudatories. The ancient German idea of determining questions of war and peace in assemblies of freemen was never wholly obliterated, although at times and in places disused. Local assemblies of the inferior nobility were often convoked in all parts of Germany, and exercised the power at times of choosing their overlords and of deposing distasteful rulers. Feudalism effected the exclusion from the assemblies of the great mass of the people, but the nobility, of whom Germany has been at all times most prolific, never became accustomed to submit to hereditary arbitrary power.
While in other countries it is possible to trace a governmental system maintained by changing dynasties through long periods of time, in Germany we trace the development of the civilization of a race of people maintaining the possession of their ancient home and often sending out conquering hordes to assume mastery of other lands, but never themselves at any time subjected either to a single foreign ruler or a firmly established government of their own with general power over the whole German people. In the earliest times of which we have any account, free German tribes occupied substantially all of modern Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria. The Romans succeeded in imposing their authority on the southern
and a little of the western part of this territory, but it was always a precarious dominion, and the crumbling of the empire first began where it came in contact with Germans. Except for a brief period while the Romans held Dacia-including modern Hungary-the empire was bounded by the Danube and the Rhine, beyond which the Germanic tribes maintained their freedom and defended their possessions against all comers. They have been attacked from every quarter, from the west in the early days by the Romans and later by the French and Spanish; from the north by their kinsmen the Danes, Swedes and Norwegians; from the east by Poles and Russians in the north and the later swarms from Asia in the south-Huns, Avars, Magyars, Tartars and Turks. In the southeast Goths, classed as of German stock, and Avars, Huns and Turks have established successively their authority over Hungary and part of Austria, but the German stock has never been rooted out, and only in Hungary, where the Magyars became the dominant race, have they been forced to give way and allow an alien people to impose enduring dominion over them. On the other hand the German Franks established their dominion over Gaul. The Goths, Vandals and Suevi overran Spain. Wave after wave of German conquest swept over Italy under the names of Goths, Lombards, Franks and Germans. Even Britain was colonized and mastered by the Angles and Saxons.
The preservation of the German race and the maintenance of its possession of central Europe have not been due to any strong centralized government, nor to harmonious or concerted action of the different states. The system of dividing inheritances equally among males has, during much of the time, been applied to those estates which carried also hereditary rulership, and has resulted in repeated divisions of states among heirs, who frequently fought with each other for the whole. The Franks under the Merovings suffered for centuries from the contests of the heirs of their kings for the inheritance. The rights of rulers great and small were the only rights considered, and the people were constantly called on to give up their lives in the struggles of vicious and cruel
nobles for mastery over the land. Nothing can be more sad and dreary than the records of the bloody struggles brought on by the ambition, malice, cupidity and other evil passions of those invested with authority. If the accounts of wars great and petty, with which the pages of German history are so completely filled, were in fact the records of all that has been done by the princes and rulers, a sweeping judgment, utterly condemning the whole and denying all value in such governments, might safely be pronounced, but war has always been the favorite topic of historians, and the doings of peace are mostly left without other record than their impresses on society and the face of the earth. Most prominent among the characteristics of German society, the good effects of which can be discerned in all periods of history, are the relative purity of domestic life, the respect accorded women and the equal treatment of children. No cruel theory of slavery to a father or husband was ever adopted. Purity and warmth of attachment of husbands and wives to each other and to their children without distinction have in all ages been eminently characteristic of the Germans. Though the Rhine was for centuries infested by its robber barons, and though wrong and robbery abode securely in the castles all over the land, in no country and among no people has there developed a more general and sturdy honesty than among the Germans. The performance of promises and the payment of debts imply industry, without which the ability is wanting. So the German people are noted for industry and thrift. This is especially true of the low countries, Holland and Belgium, where the manufacturing of fabrics and attendant foreign trade early developed. The strength of the German people has been and is moral strength. They have not until very recent times exhibited marked capacity for great combination for military supremacy, but have on countless fields exhibited a tenacity and obstinate courage which has preserved the integrity of their homes, where other people would have been crushed or enslaved. German development has been many sided. Henry III 1039-56 sought to reform the church, which had fallen into great corruption, and in 1046 he entered Rome, deposed

New York Rapper Chinx Dead At 31
The French Montana protege was gunned down Sunday morning.
New York rapper Chinx was shot and killed on Sunday, May 17. He was 31 years old.
At approximately 4 a.m. police responded to a 911 call and found Chinx (born Lionel Pickens) with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso on the corner of Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive in Queens, New York, an NYPD representative told MTV News this morning. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A second victim, who has only been identified as a 27-year-old male, was found with multiple gunshot wounds to the back. He was also taken to the hospital; he is currently in critical condition.
According to police, the assailants pulled alongside Chinx's vehicle and let off several shots. It is unclear whether Chinx was driving.
There have been no arrests made.

THREAD/BARE at Studio Channel Islands Art Center
01/22/2014 09:45 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
thread/bare: Nurit Avesar, Michael Clinite, Elana Kundell, Susan Kurland, Janet Neuwalder, Sigrid Orlet
In this exhibition at the Studio Channel Islands Blackboard Gallery in Camarillo, threads converge and commonalities are laid bare among a group of artists who each in their own way pursue the elusive connections between nature, experience, and abstraction.
Thread is a material; and to thread is an action. Bare is an adjective; and to bare is an act of revealing. A thread is a way of tracking an idea through different incarnations and across conversations; as a sewing tool, thread is something that stitches and holds together disparate parts, creating a new whole. To thread is also to carefully toe a line, push boundaries, hit a sweet spot in between edges. To bare is to uncover, to make naked, to make clear -- bodies, the truth, hidden connections. Such is the poetry of paradox; and such is the paramount role of language in creating meaningful context for experiences of art and of the world. In the case of the artists in THREAD/BARE, language is also a prism through which unexpected correspondences emerge. Besides an appreciation for the multifaceted generosity of language, these artists also share a vital interest in the transformative, even alchemical, effects of art making as an action.
These artists make very different-looking work for very different reasons -- and are thrown together more or less by fate, by occupying studios in the same campus -- yet still frequently employ the same words (abstract, intuitive, visceral, organic, transformed, collaged) and even some of the same non-traditional materials (monoprints, rust, pieces of the natural world, and yes, thread). More than one use ceramics, more than one make prints that become elements of paintings. While all six refer to nature in their content, more than one directly incorporates actual artifacts of nature into the work. More than one use found and original text. Including but not limited to incorporating books and/or pages. More than one directly engage with personal/family history; and all expand the concept of narrative to include the ambiguous and symbolic, because while formal issues are the language, storytelling is the impulse. Perhaps most saliently, all of them consciously wrestle with the shifting terrain of the abstract/figurative continuum -- which in part explains why their work hangs so well together as a formal matter, but also speaks to the overlaps in their thought processes and studio practices. And finally, all seem to accept that they are asking open-ended questions.
"Abstraction is one of the greatest visionary tools ever invented by human beings to imagine, decipher, and depict the world." -- Jerry Saltz
"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality." -- Pablo Picasso
"Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature." -- Josef Albers
Elana Kundell is the first to admit that one can't invent what already exists in nature -- but one can certainly claim it, renew it, and make it personal. Her rather opulent and evocative abstract paintings operate like tiny ecologies, deftly resembling landscapes and atmospheres despite being resolutely non-figurative. Densely detailed, cracking with life, creating paradoxical pictorial space, and appealing to the brain's atavistic pattern-seeking, Kundell's paintings trigger a deep sense of recognition but remain ambiguous. The rich and emotional array of cool, earthy, fiery, and jewel-like colors sewn into these "landscapes" make their atmospheres seem familiar, despite being fanciful and invented. Her topographical surfaces have a geological sparkle yet are obviously made of paint wielded by a person -- rather than, say, contoured by centuries of exposure to the elements -- so that viewers end up thinking about art-making in a general, philosophical, even esoteric way in addition to contemplating the compelling physical terrain of her pigment.
Susan Kurland has a professional sewing background, having worked in the fashion and theater industries -- but just as importantly for her fine art practice, she has a personal history with it as well. Her family matrilineage is rich with talented stitchers who worked for love, for money, and for posterity -- and from whom she inherited a trove of what could be called artisanal heirloom thread and textiles which could rightly be called the raw materials of her art. Her mounted plexiglas pieces resemble the reverse side of an embroidery hoop, but also evoke drawing and expressionist painting in their combination of gravity-directed lines, contours, color pools, and the scattering of chopped-up fabric, like a map of her memories. Abstract yet subtly political, her sculptures too are about the qualities of the material as well as the history of their traditional use. In that context, her incorporation of the ceramic body shapes inside the wrapped, color-field cocoons of her found-object sculptures can be seen as not only a formal choice, but also as a feminist investigation.
Nurit Avesar is known for compositions that strikingly juxtapose pattern and portrait, yet lately the figures have receded in favor of the abstract elements -- speaking to the archetypal emotions animating their stories. Avesar makes monoprints based on photographs then manipulates and paints over them, so that the finished work contains literal traces of its own ancestry in its finished form. Her favorite subject is water -- already formally abstract as it is and a common metaphor for the subconscious; its features are dictated by fractal laws of nature. Her black and white and rust works often use oxidized metal grown directly on the painting surface -- achieving a colorful embodiment of time's passage, visually invoking a distant past. Frequently her work is also about the destructions waged on people and places by both war and by time. Avesar herself is second generation and in a way her technique and process reflect this, considering the evolutionary steps through which the elements of her works move on the way to emerging as something alive and new.
Michael Clinite's original inspiration is nature -- with a vector of human psychology. Rather than depict the luminous, fluid wonders of the natural world like rain and sand and abalone shells, he cultivates those processes within his canvas (or paper, or found wood panel, or printing press). He grows rust inside his pigments; he might add salt crystals and other non-traditional materials; and he makes then incorporates monoprints into larger mixed media compositions. Sanding, layering, and "waiting to see what happens," he takes the scenic route, the long way around, so to speak -- the paintings are as much lab notes as images. But they are also meditative studies relying his instincts for "finding" images inside the amorphous grounds, in the spirit of a favorite book: 1967's The Hidden Order of Art: A Study in the Psychology of Artistic Imagination by Anton Ehrenzweig in which the author observes that "superficially insignificant or accidental looking detail [in art] may well carry the most important unconscious symbolism."
Sigrid Orlet's background in the field of Creativity Studies had her "investigating the complex nature of symbol formation in deep scientific inquiry. I am an artist-archaeologist. My artwork is a collection of visual field notes." And her moving and innovative mixed media paintings and sculptural installations give literal and allegorical form to this conceptual foundation. Using hefty, dimensional materials like burlap, and dried plant roots, and favoring a richly, fertile palette of earth and autumnal shades along with sensual, distressed, painterly surfaces and salient pieces of text, Orlet both honors and generates the symbolism of a kind of pagan art history. Spiritual rather than dogmatic, her work is experiential, multisensory, dimensional, temporal, devotional, and scientific. In pursuit of an aesthetic beyond meaning, it asks "what happens when you go to a place of not knowing?" -- demonstrating a willingness to question even one's own most firmly held beliefs -- including about what art can be.
Janet Neuwalder works primarily in ceramic and clay, but very often in direct conjunction with academic objects (such as books) and artifacts from the natural world. Through her unique processes of encasing and decontextualizing, she transforms her objects away from their original functions and contexts, instead drafting them into a conversation about art and alchemy, with a hint of institutional critique for our culture's obsession with categories and labels. Reconstituting her inspirations as objects which are both fossils of themselves and enjoying new life as part of original works of art, Neuwalder's relationship to nature is both collaborative and conceptual, walking the line between image and abstraction while highlighting the transformative power of art-making as a way of understanding the world around us -- along with an implicit acknowledgement that all the best ideas are derived from nature.

"When you do something well you stick with it," Salvati explained. "Our strength is zinc. We're running all trivalent colors, plus we have the capability to run the hexavalent colors while still coming in under the PEL limits." It's a recipe that Cadillac Plating consistently cooks up to feed the voracious appetite of its client base, which, Salvati Jr. reports, is 99% automotive. Hence the not-so-subliminal connection between the plater's longtime namesake and that of General Motors' flagship upscale brand. "What sets us apart is the personalized treatment we offer to every customer," he stated.
Perhaps, then, one could make the case that the company's fortunes are really tied to that ingrained customer-focused mindset, and that it would be equally successful with virtually any metal finish it touches. (Although, when you're cranking out 50–60 million pieces of zinc-plated parts annually, then there's probably a good reason to keep at it.) It's a combination of both specialty and philosophy, actually, as the company's principals repeatedly stress.
The "trust factor" also comes into play when enumerating the many reasons behind Cadillac's steady stream of repeat business. For example, according to Salvati Jr., there are some customers who drop off their parts for plating "before" Cadillac Plating even provided estimates for the job.
Zinc plating wasn't always Cadillac's forte. Salvati Sr., and business partners John Kitchen and M. Ahmed—veterans who have logged 38, 37, and 36 years, respectively, with the 50-year-old company—recalled a time when tin and copper plating, as well as hand anodizing, were the primary services. And it was only 10 years ago that the company got out of cadmium plating altogether. "Those weren't canned programs back then; they were all custom," Kitchen recalled.
The primary impetus that forced the changeover for Cadillac Plating—as well as for other finishing operations—was the increased pressure of governmental regulations and the subsequent impact on customers' project specifications. As an example, Kitchen sites the company's rapid response to scrutiny behind hex chrome. "Our chemist and partner M. Ahmed oversees testing and product development, and was the first to offer zinc-iron alloy plating and trivalent black before it became universally available," he asserts.
Another tactic Cadillac Plating employs to deal with rising costs—and we're not just talking about metals and chemicals, but insurance and compliance costs as well—is automation and streamlining of its operations. "Whether it's automation in chemical addition or automation in lift machines, our goal is to run as lean as possible," Salvati Jr. said. That entails staying up to date with modern finishing equipment as well as working with auditors and manufacturer customers alike in such critical areas as process improvement, efficiency, etc. Indeed, the company doesn't pay lip service to investing in its business. What started as a 3,000-square-foot operation with a handful of workers in 1957 has ballooned to a 50,000-square-foot, 50-plus-employee company today.
Along with that growth came process innovation. "We have to be very creative in how we do things," Salvati Jr. explained. Some of that creativity requires working with outside surface-preparation specialists on certain labor-intensive jobs. One such partner is Parts Finishing Group (PFG), a Chesterfield, Mich.–based firm specializing in shot blasting, vibratory deburring, honing, phosphate coating, paint stripping—among a whole other array of secondary services. For instance, PFG might pretreat a problematic part that doesn't want to plate. This might entail stripping down the part to its basic substrate or providing cleaning outside of Cadillac's normal pretreatment processes.
While Cadillac Plating has effectively leveraged its strengths in terms of finishing expertise, customer service, and environmental compliance, it's not immune to the challenges facing other Michigan platers. The Big Three auto manufacturers are having a tough go of it these days as a result of margin pressures and intense competition from transplants and overseas manufacturers alike. That, in turn, has negatively impacted the scores of smaller, specialized parts manufacturers serving the big domestic suppliers.
That philosophy probably explains why the company can still be optimistic amidst the obstacles it faces along with other manufacturing operations in this sector of the country. Somehow you get the impression that Cadillac Plating will find new ways to address challenges—the same way the company did when it survived difficult times in decades past. One bright spot it points to is a rise in business from bordering states such as Illinois and Ohio, as well as new customers from as far north as Canada. The company also reports success with accounts outside the automotive parts arena, including some "big names" in the heavy-equipment business.

When I first heard about Nancy's book Coldwater Revival, I must confess that I didn't buy into all the hype. The word lyrical was often bandied around. Well, when my book arrived and I started reading it, I finally understood. The book has a literary/lyrical voice, and the story is intriguing. I loved it. I've know her online for quite some time, and I'm looking forward to meeting Nancy Jo face-to-face.
Nancy, how much of yourself do you put into your characters?
There is something of me in all of my characters. But my characters are mainly made up of composites of people I know and have known over the years. Creating characters isn't a conscious thing I do. I just see my character, and know his/her feelings and thoughts. This, along with everything else about my writing, comes to me as a gift from our Heavenly Father.
I know what you mean. Isn't it wonderful when He introduces us to these people? What is the quirkiest thing you've ever done?
I have done so many quirky things in my life, it's hard to pinpoint just one. But what immediately comes to mind is the way I tend to mismatch my stockings with my outfits. For twenty-one years I taught school. I would get up in the predawn and dress, but when I got to school and looked down at my feet, my hoisery/sock/stockings often clashed with what I was wearing. That's what comes to mind, but perhaps I'm just too embarrassed to mention the many other ways I am quirky.
When did you first know that you were a writer?
I knew I was a storyteller from grade-school on. I told stories to my sisters, later my children, my students, and now my grandchildren. I love to tell stories. But I didn't discover that I was a writer until about 5 1/2 years ago. Once I began writing, that was it. I knew then that I was meant to write. I feel writing is one of God's purposes for my life, and I pray I'll be able to write for Him for many more years to come.
What is the range of kinds of books you like to read?
I enjoy reading most fiction, especially historicals, romance and contemporary novels. But if a book has a good story, I'll read it, no matter the genre. Mysteries and time travel also intrigue me.
What other books, whether published or not, have you written?
Coldwater Revival is my only completed novel. But I wrote for a long time on my first novel, and then spent some time on a second novel. I completed neither, but I learned so much as I practiced on those two books. I've also written several childrens' books, and hope to get them published someday.
It's difficult to hold onto your sanity and keep pace with the demands of life. But I found out early on in my writing that I HAD to seek God before I could attempt any mission or ministry for Him. On the days I don't have my quiet time with God, and don't delve into His Word, then I feel totally lost the entire day. So I make that a priority and He somehow stretches the minutes and hours so that I can keep up with life's demands. My husband helps me a lot, also.
Do you recall the vacuum tubes at the drive-in window of a bank? That's how my characters' names seem to come to me. It's like I put my request for a name in a tube and send it up the way, and it shoots right back down to me - straight from God. I don't always get the name I need the very day I send up my request, but when the names DOES arrive, I have no doubts from Whom it came.
Of the accomplishments I have achieved, I am most proud of my family. My husband, our joined family of children, and our precious grandchildren. Our families are a lasting heritage. Many other accomplishments last but for a short time. But our families just "keep on going" like the bunny in the commercial.
If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?
I would choose to be a doe. Deer are graceful, beautiful, sure-footed and live together in small herds. And I know that does protect their fawns. So, a doe sounds just like the sort of animal I would choose to be if that were my choice.
I love Tex-Mex food and so does my husband. We eat it a least once a week, and usually more often than that. I lived in El Paso for six years. There the Mexican food is more identifiable to the interior of Mexico. I learned to love that kind of Mexican food also. But Tex-Mex is my favorite.
Coldwater Revival is a work of love. I gleaned memories from my childhood, worked with them until they were so deeply embedded in my heart that I felt I was part of the Falin family, of which I wrote. Coldwater Revival is a true-to-life story, with elements of grief-shattering loss, doubts, and a young lady's devastating guilt and shame. But it's also a story of victory, forgiveness and unforgettable restoration for Emma Grace Falin and her family. And it has a very satisfying conclusion.
Thank you for spending this time with us, Nancy. I look forward to your next book.
Remember, Reader, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a copy of Coldwater Revival. Someone wins a book every week. It might as well be you.
Also, there's still time to leave a comment on Gail Sattler's interview for a chance to win Kentucky Keepers.

Actually, Gail was chosen favorite author by the readers of Heartsong five years in a row, so she's in the Hall of Fame. Way to go, Gail. I know that when one of her books comes out, I read it as soon as I can. That girl can really spin a yarn!
Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of her featured book Kentucky Keepers.
Gail, tell us how much of yourself you write into your characters.
Well said, what is the quirkiest thing you have ever done?
I once ordered a custom designed screen for the bay window in my living room, which is on the 2nd story and opens onto the roof, to have a special opening for my dog. Over a period of about 10 years I allowed our dog, a Standard Schnauzer to jump out the window onto the roof to watch the neighborhood and let the day go by. It was her favorite pastime. We've had people stop their cars and point. People who were out walking stopped and stared, then jumped in shock when the dog moved, because they didn't think she was real. Strangers have knocked on our door to ask if we knew our dog was on the roof. The only times I didn't allow her to go onto the roof was when it was raining or if it was too hot out there.
I've seen pictures of that. When did you first discover that you were a writer?
February 1995. A few months before that I had lost my job when the company I worked for closed. A friend gave me a bunch of books to read, which I really enjoyed because up until that time, I didn't have the time to read like I used to. When I was reading, the thought struck me that I wanted to try to write a book, too, and the rest is history.
Wow, that's very time specific. Tell us the range of the kinds of books you enjoy reading.
Mostly I enjoy romantic comedy, which is why that's what I write. I also enjoy cozy mysteries, because I don't want to read anything violent. In a cozy mystery, any violence happens offscreen, and I like it that way. I also enjoy women's fiction.
Kentucky Keepers has quite a lineup of wonderful authors. What other books have you written, whether published or not?
So far I've had over 30 category romance novels and/or novellas published. What hasn't been published so far is one cozy mystery, which isn't finished, and one mainstream fiction, which also isn't finished.
Readers, you can see all her books at www.gailsattler.com. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?
When I need a break, I take one. No one will fall down and die if the housework isn't done, and I'm on a first name basis with the people at the local pizza take-out joint. When I need a break, I read something that someone else wrote that I don't have to comment on.
Sounds like a good plan to me. How do you choose your characters' names?
I have no pattern or formula. The names just come when I'm thinking the story through as I'm setting out my plot. I look in my local phone book for last names.
I never realized how many authors use the phone book that way. Now why didn't I think of that? What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?
That one's easy. My biggest accomplishment is being a multi-published author. It's a lot of work, but it's fun work.
Here are some fun questions. If you were an animal, which one would you be, and why?
This isn't mine, I copied this off the internet somewhere, I don't have the source – I wanna be a bear. If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too. If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you'resleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs. Yup..... I wanna be a bear.
Don't we all? What is your favorite food?
Chocolate. And don't think chocolate isn't a food, because it is. It's soul food.
I totally agree. It especially must be soul food for authors. A lot of them have mentioned chocolate as a favorite in these interviews. Thank you, Gail, for spending time with us today.

What is an Alli-Bag? A writer friend of mine, Diane Moody, is also the creator of Alli-Bags. She has created a Lena Nelson Dooley signature bag.
The picture doesn't do it justice. It is beautiful. You can order bags at www.alli-bags.com . For the signature bags, click on the button on the left of the website. There are several bags that have been created for authors. She also has several bags that are on clearance where you can pick up a bargain.
These bags are well-made and sturdy, but every Alli-bag also has a pearl sewn in, because every woman needs a pearl.
A Lena Nelson Dooley signature Alli-bag filled with my books will be featured in the Silent Auction at the American Christian Fiction Writers national conference in September. Where else but in Dallas, Texas? Get all the information on the conference at www.americanchristianfictionwriters.com .
I'm really happy to introduce a long-time friend to you. Nancy and I went to the same church years ago when we each sold our first books to Heartsong. Over the years we've both grown in friendship and as authors. Her most recent book is Miss Menace, published by Heartsong. I loved this delightful contemporary comedy. Remember, if you leave a comment, you'll have a chance to win a free copy of this book.
I don't consciously put any of myself into my characters. Having said that, I'm certain it's impossible to filter out my experiences and perceptions from my work. I'm guessing that a bit of me creeps in undetected.
I don't think I do quirky things, which could mean one of two things. Either I'm a very staid individual or I'm so weird that quirky seems normal to me.
Should I tell them which I think it is? Maybe I'll let them guess. When did you first discover that you were a writer?
And you do it very well. Tell us the range of the kinds of books you enjoy reading.
Romance, romance, romance. Not much of a range, huh? Occasionally I'll stray from romance and pick up a popular fiction title or a mystery, but they rarely satisfy like a good romance. I think it's the guaranteed happy endings of romances that keep me coming back.
I've written five books for Heartsong, and one for Silhouette Romance. I have a couple more completed books collecting dust under my bed.
Well, pull those out, dust them off, do a re-edit, and get them out there. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?
I walk three miles every day. The fresh air and exercise are a terrific antidote for stress. More importantly I spend time with the Father in prayer and in His word. No matter how crazy things get, He keeps me grounded.
From the phone book. No kidding. I can come up with first names without any trouble, but last names always stump me. So I flip open a phone book and skim along until I find a name that strikes my fancy. I have been known to borrow my friend's names for secondary characters.
My precious family. By the grace of God my husband and I have raised three wonderful children who love God and one another. Now that's what I call an accomplishment!
Probably a parrot. I talk a lot and favor bright plumage.
I like that. What is your favorite food?
I had a great time writing it.
And the readers enjoy reading it. Thank you for giving us this peek into your life, Nancy.

There's still time to leave a comment on Andrea Boeshaar's interview. I'm reading her book right now, and it's very good.
A new interview will go up tomorrow.
I've known Andrea online as long as we both have been in American Christian Fiction writers, and getting to see her in person at the national conferences is such a pleasure. She a sweet, kind person with a lovely smile and big heart. It's with pleasure that I present her to you. Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Always a Bridesmaid.
Andrea, tell us how much of yourself you write into your characters.
I think there is a little bit of me in all my characters.
I know what you're talking about. How can we not write what we know, and who do we know best? What is the quirkiest thing you have ever done?
Sounds wonderful to me. When did you first discover that you were a writer?
I've loved to write ever since I was a little girl. Then in 1984 I began writing with the intent to be published. I wanted to be the next Danielle Steele. But God took hold of my heart (and my life) and changed my course in 1991 and I dedicated myself to write for His glory.
I'm glad He did. I love your books. Tell us the range of the kinds of books you enjoy reading.
I enjoy Christian fiction, ranging from the more literary, like Jamie Langston Turner's novels to category romance, such as Heartsong Presents and Love Inspired books. I also enjoy some of Joyce Meyers' nonfiction. Also in my bookshelf are books by Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. And then there are all my "how to" writing books!
I know those who visit this blog will be glad to go there and check them out. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?
It's not easy!! But whenever things get tough, God draws me to His word. It's there, in the Bible, where I'm reminded of His many promises and how God gives us that "peace that passes all understanding" when our world spins out of control.
So true. How do you choose your characters' names?
Various ways. Sometimes I'll hear the name and it plucks a chord in my creativity. Sometimes I go to my "Character-Naming Sourcebook" (WD Books) and search through the pages until I find one that suits my character.
I know what you mean about a name striking a chord. I have numerous sticky notes on the credenza above my computer with names on them. What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?
My three sons. They are handsome, smart, responsible, capable Christian men. They all chose wives whom I adore. I now have three daughters too (and a 4 month old granddaughter). I guess my sons are more blessings (and gifts from God) than accomplishments. Nevertheless, I'm very proud of my family.
How blessed you are! I didn't get my boys until grandsons. If you were an animal, which one would you be, and why?
I don't know. God made me a human being and I have honestly never had the desire to be an animal.
Thank you, Andrea. Readers, she mentioned sending Broken Things to Mrs. Bush. I highly recommend that you read that complete three-book series. They're wonderful.

The single best way to make your smartphone less stressful
Silence the worst parts, enhance the best.
By Eleanor Cummins | Published Feb 22, 2019 11:40 PM
A mood. Stan Horaczek
My smartphone is a war zone. On one side, there are the user experience designers creating ever-more-tantalizing tricks to gain my attention—and it's happening on your phone, too. On the other side are the users themselves, trying to mute, block, and filter our way out of an endless notifications barrage.
There's the Battle of the Ear: Designers carefully craft "earcons" that help us understand the digital process unfolding, while also reinforcing an individual brand identity. (That's why every sent message "whooshes" in its own way.) In response, people have muted their devices; as I wrote earlier this year, I haven't heard my phone ring or Slack ping in years. And don't forget the Invasion of the Home Screen (counter attack: turn off push notifications), the Eyeball Offensive (consider dark mode), or the Siege of IGTV (delete the once-harmonious app?).
Some companies have sensed our growing phone fatigue. Facebook Messenger simplified its app and Gmail's Mark Cuban-approved Smart Compose gets emails written faster. But these back-pocket devices generally make life a lot more stressful. Even kids aren't safe: for every Messenger Kids positivity pledge, there are 100 children's gaming apps secretly stocked with advertisements. (No wonder Steve Jobs wouldn't let his family play with iPads.)
Turn off badges in an iPhone. Eleanor Cummins
But there may be a secret weapon—a simple flipped switch that turns the tide without demanding you dump your phone altogether. It's turning off badges.
Also known as Apple's US patent number 8,396,463 B2, badge icons are the little red circle with the number of new notifications inside. Three missed calls! 1,000 unread emails! Untold unopened Facebook updates! They're constantly screaming for our attention, even though you probably don't consciously register them anymore. So small, insidious, and omnipresent I didn't even know they had a name, badge icons may be our last stand in the fight against our phones.
Like everything on an Apple device, badges can be controlled in the Systems app, which is represented by a gray gear icon. Click on Notifications and select the relevant app. If, like me, you've turned off other forms of notifications—muted lock screen updates, notification center alerts, and banners—you're probably familiar with this page. But where other alerts are illustrated so that you know exactly what you're turning off, badges try to fly under the radar. Don't be fooled: find the Badges button just beneath the alerts page and swipe left to silence them. Repeat for different apps until satisfied.
Turn off badges in an Andorid phone. Rob Verger
Android users need not fear. You can turn your badges off, too, with a near-identical process. Go to the Settings app and open the app/notifications section. Select the app you wish to manage, go to its notifications panel, and swipe left on the "notification dot" feature. Goodbye badges.
I haven't turned off badges on every app. I still know exactly how many phone calls I need to respond to, and how many Skype messages I've missed. But turning off the badge icons for email and, especially, Slack, the workplace messaging app, has brought a peace of mind I didn't think was possible anymore. Previously, I'd turned off banner notifications, or muted certain apps after 6 p.m. But the badges kept tallying things up, trying to provoke me into clicking. Now, I'm free to believe my inbox is clear—at least until 9 a.m. tomorrow.


I need to find a script that will scan all my datastores for un-register tempaltes.
A template is in practice the same as a virtual machine with a few differences.
The config file is not a .VMX but a .VMTX file and the VirtualMachine object contains a flag, called Template, which indicates if it concerns a virtual machine or a template.
So I took one of my "find unregistered VMX files" scripts and with a few adaptations it now should be able to find unregistered templates.
Could this script be easily modified to find and register these templates?
The script in my Raiders of the Lost VMX post does exactly that.
Great script - helped me a lot in restoring my templates from the datastore.
We have them more than 100 so registering them manually could take an infinity.
One thing - If I can suggest.
If you have many templates with long, similar name and different ending - then vCenter throws many error messages.
In fact - first and second machines were different and differed with just ending. After a while the long format was replaced by the shorter one (without datastore ID).
It caused that each registration was 30 seconds longer but the script didn't generate so much errors and don't have to be executed multiple times.
Maybe the method is not elegant :-) I'm not a powerCLI expert, but it works.
That's an interesting discovery you made.
I suspect this caused by the way the RegisterVM_Task works internally.
I'l see if I can come up with a bypass.

Acharya returns to defend 4th of July golf title
June 28, 2019 at 5:00 am | By DAVID LESNICK The Daily Inter Lake
The 83rd annual Earl Hunt Memorial 4th of July Golf Tournament at Whitefish Lake Golf Club begins its three-day run Thursday, July 4th.
Play starts each day of the 54-hole event at 7:30 a.m.
The men will play the South Course the first day, the North Course the second and the South Course again on the final day.
The order for women is North, South and North.
The field will consist of 240 entries.
"Maxed out," Tim Olson, the PGA head professional at Whitefish Lake Golf Club, said.
"There is a waiting list on that number."
Olson said the tournament field was filled by April 1.
"It's one of the premier events in the Pacific Northwest," Olson said.
Jasi Acharya of Carver, Minnesota, returns to defend her women's title, but Cory Mehl of Seattle is not entered.
Mehl has turned professional, making him ineligible for play.
Acharya broke the South Course record on the first day of play a year ago with a 63. Par is 72.
She finished four shots ahead of the field
Mehl claimed a one-shot victory over Logan Lindholm of Kalispell.
The last local 4th of July winner was Josh Gold of Kalispell in 2006.
Before that, it was Christine Newton of Whitefish and David Morberg of Kalispell, both in 1987.
"It has a lot to do with the (talented) field," Olson said of why this tournament is so difficult for local golfers to win.
Year in and year out, it attracts top collegiate and prep players along with outstanding amateurs.
Kramer Hickok of Plano, Texas, who won the tournament in 2013-14, was a member of the University of Texas golf team those two years. He is currently on the professional tour.
"We have two high quality courses," Olson said of what draws the players here.
"The atmosphere of the club, people having a great time, the derby, music on the deck and the town of Whitefish … there is so much to do with the lake and the culture. A variety of things to do. It's almost a vacation for most of these guys and gals."
And speaking of the course …
"It is spectacular," Olson said.
"Outstanding. We had a wet June and that has helped get things growing. Now we expect sunshine next week."
There will be a Derby the second night of the tournament featuring the top men and women finishers from opening day. That will begin at 5 p.m. and be played on the front nine of the North Course.
People are encouraged to attend and watch the action all three days.
"There will be 300, 400 in the gallery," Olson said.
"It's festive for sure."

Dave Matthews Band Release New Version of 'Come Tomorrow' Featuring Brandi Carlile: Listen
6/14/2019 by Kirsten Spruch
Danny Clinch
Dave Matthews Band has teamed up with singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile to release a new version of the 2018 album Come Tomorrow's title track on Friday (June 14).
Carlile's backing vocals are featured in the original version of the track, but this time around, she and Matthews switch back and forth taking the lead. Produced by Mark Batson and John Alagia, it feels much more conversational. The pair sing in harmony, complimenting each other with ease.
"It was an honor to lend my voice to Dave Matthews Band's prophetic vision. Dave Matthews has one of the most iconic voices of our generation," Carlile shared in a statement.
Come Tomorrow (RCA Records) debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in June 2018, the band's seventh consecutive studio set to top the albums chart. The veteran band's summer North American tour also kicks off Friday night (June 14) with the first of two back-to-back shows at BB&T Pavilion in Camden, N.J.

L'arrondissement de Saint-Denis est une division administrative française, située dans le département de la Seine-Saint-Denis et la région Île-de-France.

L'arrondissement a un homonyme exact à La Réunion.

Histoire

Département de la Seine

Saint-Denis fut érigée en 1800 en l'une des sous-préfectures du département de la Seine, supprimé par la loi du 10 juillet 1964, qui créa le département de Paris et les trois départements de la petite couronne. Cette première sous-préfecture fut partiellement supprimée le 2 avril 1880, l'arrondissement de Saint-Denis étant conservé mais administré directement par le préfet de la Seine (il n'y a donc plus de sous-préfet de Saint-Denis).
Composition
L'arrondissement, initialement subdivisé par les quatre cantons de Nanterre (renommé en canton de Courbevoie en 1829), Neuilly, Pantin et Saint-Denis, a été redécoupé en 12 cantons en 1893 :
 Canton de Nanterre (1800-1829) (le chef-lieu de ce canton a été transféré à Courbevoie en 1829)
 Canton de Courbevoie (1829-1967)
 Canton d'Aubervilliers (1893-1967)
 Canton de Colombes (1908-1967)
 Canton de Puteaux (1893-1967)
 Canton de Neuilly-sur-Seine (1800-1967)
 Canton de Boulogne-Billancourt (1893-1967)
 Canton de Levallois-Perret (1893-1967)
 Canton de Clichy (1893-1967)
 Canton de Pantin (1800-1967)
 Canton de Noisy-le-Sec (1893-1967)
 Canton de Saint-Denis (1800-1967)
 Canton d'Asnières-sur-Seine (1893-1967)
 Canton de Saint-Ouen (1893-1967)

L'arrondissement fut supprimé en 1968, lors de la mise en place des départements de la Seine-Saint-Denis et des Hauts-de-Seine.

Département de la Seine-Saint-Denis
L'arrondissement de Saint-Denis du département de la Seine-Saint-Denis a été recréé par le décret  du 26 février 1993, par démembrement de l'arrondissement de Bobigny.

Compétences administratives

Cet arrondissement, de création récente, ne dispose pas encore d'une sous-préfecture de plein exercice. Elle occupe les bureaux de l'ancien office HLM de la Ville de Saint-Denis, qui a été intégré dans l'OPAC communautaire de Plaine Commune.

Les services de la sous-préfecture sont consacrés à l'accueil du public étranger pour la délivrance des titres de 10 ans pour les résidents et des documents de circulation pour enfant mineur et des titres de voyage pour les réfugiés. La sous-préfecture traite également des demandes de subventions pour les associations et de dotations au titre de la politique de la ville pour les 9 communes de l'arrondissement. Depuis le 1er janvier 2021, le service des naturalisations a été transféré à la préfecture à Bobigny. Les autres services à la population, et notamment la délivrance de titres d'identité et de voyages des résidents français (CNI, passeport) ou de documents administratifs (carte grise, permis de conduire, autorisation d'évènements) sont assurés à la Préfecture de la Seine-Saint-Denis à Bobigny.

En 2022, la sous-préfecture deviendra une sous-préfecture de plein exercice avec son installation, après une période de travaux de réhabilitation quelques mois, dans l'Ancienne succursale de la Banque de France rue Catulienne. Ce changement de statut a été voulu par le Plan gouvernemental de l'État plus fort en Seine-Saint-Denis de 2019 qui vise à assurer notamment un meilleur service public aux séquano-dyonisiens. Actuellement, le sous-préfet de Saint-Denis est Vincent Lagoguey, depuis le 7 février 2022.
