Before Sharpsburg
He had experience in the French Artillery before the War. He enrolled as First Lieutenant, Company E, First Battalion Louisiana Zouaves on 9 April (or 31 August) 1861. That unit became DeGournay's Battery ("A", Orleans Independent), 12th Battalion Louisiana Heavy Artillery. He was appointed Major of Artillery, Provisional Army of the Cofederate States on 27 March 1862, and assigned as Chief of Artillery to General D.H. Hill.
On the Campaign
From General D.H. Hill's Report:
Major [J. W.] Ratchford, Major Pierson, chief of artillery, and Lieut. J. A. Reid, of my staff; were conspicuous for their gallantry.
The rest of the War
He was on Ordnance Department duty in Europe in 1863 and 1864 buying artillery. He was assigned to General E.K. Smith in Texas on 25 July 1864.
He was living in Louisiana to at least 1870.

A hand crafted jigsaw puzzle on ply. The image is water colour, acrylic and coloured pencil on Fijian Cedar ply. Cut on a scrollsaw and including figural pieces based on the ship and sea serpent theme.
Very cool painting and such a labor of love to do all the detailed cuts on this.
Amazingly intricate work!! Excellent paint!

When I speak with CEOs & CFOs about buying new computer software, they often respond by saying "Our software works fine. We've had it for 20 years & never had any problems with it." In other words, "If it's not broken, why fix it?" or "We've managed just fine with our current manual systems." Their system may be broken in ways they don't realize. Using outdated computer software creates a domino affect that results in increased manual efforts & frequent bottlenecks. Very often when customers call, Customer Service Personnel have to go to the drawer to find printed information or search through multiple computer screens looking for the necessary information while the customer waits on the phone. Not having the information readily available, they tell customers, "I will have to call you back as soon as I find the correct information." Besides creating an unhappy customer, other customers or prospects who call & get phone recordings asking them to wait for the next available agent often hang up & call other vendors. These types of lost sales opportunities can't be measured. Business issues such as these cause losses & problems in other areas throughout the company, starting with excess inventory in the warehouse and ending in overdue accounts' receivable. If your company faces such issues, maybe it's time you began to search for new software to run your business. Before you do, however, think carefully about the process you'll follow to make sure you select the right software for your needs.
Who should conduct the search?
Before the software search begins, form a search committee. The committee should consist of the computer department & various department heads. This kind of approach has worked very well for many companies. By pairing the computer department that specializes in technology with the heads of departments who know the business needs, the company develops a very strong software search team. Our most successful installations have been with companies that had this kind of committee, in which the computer department becomes the liaison between the users & the software implementation team translating technology to their business requirements. Prior to starting the software search, compile a business requirement list. Once you've selected the appropriate software houses & scheduled demos, the business issues list should serve as a guide at the demo. Very sophisticated software is not necessarily the right software solution for your company. Very often, companies buy software because they were impressed with the features and functions they saw at the demo without realizing that it might be too sophisticated for their users.
One case was when a company hired a new CEO to run the company. He came from a larger company that used very sophisticated software. Shortly after assuming his new position, the CEO decided to purchase the software he used at his previous job. The department heads who viewed the software at the demo didn't feel it was the right choice for their company, fearing the end-users who had used a home-grown system for last 15 years might have difficulties learning it. Despite their advice, the CEO decided to purchase the software. The consulting firm that sold the software guaranteed the cost wouldn't exceed K.Sh. 4 million. Two years & K.Sh. 4.5 million later, the software was finally implemented & the company went "live." The main reason for the cost overrun was because the software had to be modified to meet the company's business needs, together with the very high learning curve users encountered when trying to learn the system. This resulted in the CEO being fired, the company having very sophisticated software with most of its functions going unused & a large computer department to support the software operation.
Training users is one of the main challenges a company faces after selecting software. In addition to completing their daily work, users must be trained on the new software & take the time to practice it.
Because of their workloads, users very often don't practice as much as they should. In order to assure that training and practice are done on schedule, it's wise to conduct a monthly meeting to monitor progress. One month before going live, evaluate the users' comfort level with the system. The best way to determine if the users are ready to go live is by having them make mistakes that commonly occur during the business day, but in a test environment. If the users can correct errors without difficulties, they are ready to go live, otherwise it's best to postpone the final implementation until their comfort level is achieved. Going live prematurely can result in severe business disruption & overtime.
environment and might cause a higher learning curve than necessary as well as business disruption.
2) Did the software house provide the source code & documentation? Not receiving the source code can result in a company being totally dependent on the software house without having the option of using someone else if they are unhappy with their software vendor's services.
3) Did the software house charge for the source code & documentation? Source code & documentation should be included at no charge.
4) How many computer people are required to run the computer system? Certain systems require a large computer department. This will result in a costly operation & a high budget for the computer department.
5) Is the software user-friendly & how big was the learning curve before going live? If the software is not user-friendly, it will require a high learning curve that will delay going live & will increase the cost of the computer project. Competition today is stronger than ever before. Selecting a software system helps you compete, but only when it fits your business requirements.

enforcers earn a victory over cleveland, improve to 1-1
CHICAGO, IL-- Recovering from a 19-6 second half deficit, the CPD Enforcers were victorious on Saturday, earning a 27-25 win over the visiting Cleveland Warriors at St. Rita High School in front of a strong crowd for the team's home opener.
Unlike the previous game against Columbus, the Enforcers (1-1, 1-1 NPSFL) struggled in the first half, due primarily to turnovers in Enforcer territory and special teams miscues. Still, the Enforcers found themselves down only a point at half, going into the locker room trailing Cleveland (1-1, 1-1 NPSFL) 7-6.
The Enforcers were able to build momentum and confidence offensively in the second half, primarily behind the efforts of quarterback George Hickey (#2, Forest Park PD), who was filling in for the injured Vince Macias (#18, Unit 213), and running back Chris Rodgers (#23, Federal Reserve PD). Rodgers led all rushers on the day, gaining 105 yards on 18 carries to go along with 2 touchdowns. The Enforcers also benefited from a pivotal squib kick from kicker Chris Lenti (#10, Unit 177) which was recovered by defensive back Joe Negron (#19, Unit 412).
Defensively, the Enforcers were able to shake off some of the rust from their season-opening performance, holding Cleveland to -20 yards rushing overall on the day. The Enforcers defense was led by linebackers Brian Atkinson (#52, CCDOC), Jason Slater (#37, 014th District), and rookie Rick Richardson (#44, Wheeling PD). Atkinson had 5 solo tackles on the day, along with an interception, while Slater added 4 solo stops with 2 being for a loss. Richardson, making his Enforcer debut, also added 4 solo tackles. Offensively, Cleveland was led by quarterback Dan Ward and wide receiver Joe Smith. With the victory, the Enforcers improved their all-time record vs. Cleveland to 7-1.
The Enforcers will take the field once again on Saturday, May 3rd, taking on the New York Department of Corrections Boldest at Lane Tech Stadium. The game, which is the annual Gold Star Memorial Bowl, is set to kick off at 5 pm.

Q: Can assembled ASM code result in more than a single possible way (except for offset values)? I don't know x86 ASM very well, but I'm rather comfortable with SHARP-z80, and I know by experience that each instruction (mnemonic) has a corresponding byte/word value, and by looking at the hex dump of the assembled binary file I can "read back" the same code I wrote using mnemonics.
In another  SO question, somebody claimed that there are some situations where ASM instructions are not translated to their corresponding binary value, but instead are rearranged in a different way by the assembler.
I'm looking especially for cases where disassembling the binary would result in a different ASM code than the original one.
In other words, are there any cases where assembly code is not 1:1 ratio with assembled code?
MikeKwan linked to another question where GCC would modify inline ASM code (in a C project), but, even though that's an interesting topic, it doesn't answer to this question, because GCC is a compiler, and always tries to optimize code and inline ASM trnslation is affected by surrounding C code.

A: To the extent that the assembler designers think it was helpful, it may substitute equivalent instructions that have other, useful properties.
First, there machines with variable length value operands fields.  If a value/offset will fit into any of several variants, it is common for the assembler to substitute the shortest.  (In such assemblers, it is also common to be able force a particular size).    This is true of instructions that involved immediate operands and indexed addressing.
Many machines have instructions with PC-relative offsets, commonly for JMPs, sometimes for load/store/arithmetic instructions.  An assembler on encountering such an instruction during the first pass can determine of the addressed operand precedes the insruction or it has not seen the instruction yet.   If preceding, the assembler can choose a short relative form or a long relative form because it knows the offset.   If following, the assembler doesn't know the size, and generally chooses a large offset for the instruction that it fills in during pass2.  Similarly, there tend to be ways to force the assembler to choose the short form.
Some machines don't have long jump relative instructions.  In this case, the assembler will insert a short jmp relative backwards if the the target precedes the jmp and is close by.  If the target precedes but is far away, or the target is a forward reference, the assembler may insert a short-relative-jmp on the opposite branch conditions with target being past the next instruction, followed by a long absolute jmp.  (I've personally built assemblers like this). This ensures that jmps can always get to their target.
The good news about these tricks is that if you disassemble, you still get a valid assembly program.
Now lets turn to ones that will confuse your disassembler.
A similar trick to jump relative for literal operands may be used if the machine has short-relative addressing for load/store instructions and the programmer apparently specifies loading of a constant or value a long way away.  In this case the assembler changes the instuction to refer to a literal or an address constant following an inserted short relative jmp around that constant.  The dissembler thinks everything in the instruction stream is an instruction; in this case, the literal value is not and that would throw the disassembler off.  At least there's an unconditional jmp around the literal to guide the disassembler.
Screwier tricks you may find in mature assemblers where every stunt ever imagined is supported.  One of my favorites on an 8 bit assemblers were "pseudo" instuctions SKIP1, SKIP2, which you can think of as extremely short relative branches.  They were really just the opcoode byte of "CMP #8bits"  and "CMP #16bits" instructions, and were used to jump around an 8 bit or 16 bit instruction respectively.  So, a "one byte" relative jump rather than two. When you're squeezed for space, every byte counts :-{
      SKIP1
      INC    ; 8 bit instruction
      ...

This was also handy when trying to implement a loop where some step shouldn't be performed on loop entry, but needs to be done on further loop iterations:
      SKIP2
LOOP: SHLD  ; 16 bit instruction
      ...
      BNE LOOP

This issue here is that if you disassemble the SKIP1 or SKIP2 instructions, you won't see the INC (or the corresponding 16 bit instruction).
A trick used by assembly language programmers for passing parameters is to place them inline after the call, with the proviso that the called routine adjust the return address appropriately:
      CALL   foo
      DC     param1
      DC     param2

Or
         CALL    printstring
         DC     "a variable length string",0
There is no practical way that a disassembler can know that such a convention is being used or what that convention is, so the dissembler is bound to handle this wrong.

Син даммартенського графа Обрі III і Матильди Клермонтської. Виріс при королівському дворі, був другом дитинства французького короля Філіппа II. Одружувався двічі: із Марією Шатільйонською та Ідою Булонською. Внаслідок шлюбу з останньою очолив Булонь, що стала васалом Французької корони, а не Фландрії. Через сварки з Філіппом уклав проти нього угоду з англійським королем Джоном I (1212). Спільно з імператором Оттоном IV і фландрським графом Фернанду атакував землі франзуцького короля. Зазнав поразки у битві при Бувіні (1214). Незважаючи на це, до останнього опирався Філіппу. Втратив усі свої володіння та титули. Утримувався у Пероннській вязниці до кінця життя, де вчинив самогубство. Мав доньку Матильду, що вийшла заміж за португальського короля Афонсу IV.

Stir all this over medium heat until it pulls away from the pan. Cool. Knead it. Have a great time!
Our neighborhood grocery stocks lovely veggies, don't you think? I don't really like eating veggies, however. Sometimes they taste good to me - with lots of fatty dip! And during the holidays, I make some special vegetable dishes - with cheese, mayo, cream, and deep-fried onions on top! But, if someone told me that I couldn't go to bed until I ate a cucumber or a pepper, I would grumble, because I view veggie eating as a "have to" instead of a "get to" and I only eat them for my own good. If someone said, "You must drink this mug of creamy hot chocolate before bed," I would say, "Yum! Thank you!" I am not hungry (we went out for Chinese food) so I don't need any hot chocolate, but I could tolerate it right now, when I can go a good week without experiencing a yearn for vegetables. I ate some carrots today and a little cabbage (in an egg roll!) That's all the veggies I want. Maybe when I grow some squash, carrots, peppers and peas this summer, I'll fall in love with them. Maybe I'll stop eating bread and cookies forever! But, for the time being, I am chubby anti-veggie Pom Pom.
This is a day to work. I'm a little lost as to how to implement the writing project at school. But, it is a day to WORK. . . get some stuff done . . . make some progress. Do ONE thing. It doesn't help that I have a cold AND two meetings before the teaching day even begins. When there is a big mess to clean up, my first reaction is to cope later. My mom used to say, "Just start." So, I'm going to get in the car, arrive at school, and pick up the broom. I'll "sweep" all day and then come home and TRY not to over-think, because I don't want to drive myself crazy. I'm just gonna do it. I hope the tasks at hand in your world are do-able, enjoyable, and character building.
If I were to write my truth I would say that I doubt myself and I am not as nice to myself as I think my Creator would like me to be. I really do "should" on myself a lot and so often I don't take time to allow the Lord to cradle my soul, smooch it, sing it a loving little song. I take over and give it "to do" lists and force it to make frightened excuses. I quite think that Jesus would make me a cozy, downy nest and enlist an angel to gently rock me, singing another wordless song of celebration and give me an occasional pat and squeeze. P.S. I'm not sure how long I would need this to last.
"Where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.
"We've come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea.
Nets of silver and gold have we," said Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
"Cast your nets wherever you wish never afraid are we!"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three - Winkin', and Blinkin', and Nod.
'Til down from the skies came the wooden shoe bringing the fisherman home.
'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be.
Some folks say 'twas a dream they dreamed of sailing that misty sea.
But I shall name you the fisherman three - Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
Now Winkin' and Blinkin' are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one's trundle bed.
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three - Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod.
It doesn't spell spring, does it?
Oh! If you look hard you can see some blossoms!
Really, my spring-o-meter is experiencing quite a challenge. Here it is April 25 (Happy Birthday, Bryan!) and the trees still don't have their leaves. Out on the walking path today, my friend Mary and I experienced cool winds that made gloves necessary. Even though I've been a Colorado woman for going on eighteen years, I guess I still have early spring expectations left over from growing up in the Pacific Northwest. With six weeks of school left, my aim is summer and how can that be when we're still shivering? I won't complain anymore. We had sunshine all week. I just can't see it from my classroom. I AM thankful for the beauty in the city. The walking paths here are lovely and our grass is Easter green,thanks to all Bill's landscape work. Soon enough - Mother's Day dirt, planting, and waiting for the seeds to sprout. Meanwhile, the birds are singing up a storm, building their nests. Doves are cooing on the wires and the peonies are shooting up red beginnings. The iris are also showing a good start and hopefully, the roses weathered the winter well enough to grace the gardens with their sweet scent. I hope I'm THIS motivated two weeks from now when the dirt arrives!
It was so fun being a stay at home mom. I loved the marathon Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow mornings. We'd go for walks to the park, sometimes on roller blades (not me) and saunter back (me carrying the roller blades) for peanut butter lunch. I'd make a pot of coffee after we ate. I didn't care that it would keep me up late. Now, I have to go to bed early to make it through the teaching day. The neighborhood is different during the day - slow, flowery and lazy. After work, it's cars, cars, cars and an occasional bike riding child - one's who is lucky enough to avoid programmed youth sports. I miss going to the grocery store in the morning and listening to the kids beg for treats and toys. It's a good thing to experience the sun moving across the sky. I get tired of florescent lights. Because, now I spend the day in a building with 1200 kids, but I do like the community in that. I like my fellow teachers, whether I see Cindi in the library for a quick chat, or I talk to Don, Brad, Ann and Kathleen while we eat our sack lunches in the teachers' lounge. So, even though working saps my energy, there are up sides to it. And, I am kind of amazed I can do it.
This morning I found Muppets in Space at the grocery store for four dollars. I watched it as the kids came in for third period. "Hi, Mrs. M! Whatcha watching?" "Muppets in Space," I replied matter-of-factly. It got some chuckles and some smiles. It made absolutely no sense and eighth graders love that. We plan and organize, trying to help them learn and remember stuff, but it is VERY hard to make an impression. I turned it off quickly, so we could get to the media center and continue our research, but because of the smell of strawberries (I use that yummy smelling lamp oil from The Body Shop), a Lemon Head or two, and a brief gander at Muppets in Space, they were cheered and ready to sit in front of the computer screen for forty-five minutes. Some really GOOD teachers emphasized Earth Day, kept the lights off and wore green t-shirts.
If you remember, this gnome was in the flower box between the houses. Did he think I wouldn't notice that he parked himself by the daffodils? I had to move him back! He cannot stand there in the daffodil grove, waving at dog walkers and middle school kids walking by! Someone will take him! I snapped this shot and then carried him to his little hole. Rascal! The snow brought despair as he stood buried in the drifts until yesterday afternoon. With the hot sun melting his previous oasis, he must have hopped down and dabbled in the dirt a bit too long this morning, caught by the sunrise without enough time to get back to his post. Who can blame him for wanting to huddle under the trumpets of spring?
Hinds Feet on High Places, again. Hannah Hurnard says that the development of hinds feet is a private process and there should be no onlookers (70). This morning, Bill and I were sitting in our green chairs, by the window, having our coffee, talking about purpose. We ARE so cultured. We let the world squeeze us into its mold and we gauge our progress based on productivity standards. To simply be. That's tough. Because, we forget that "it" whatever "it" is ISN'T about us. I read a book a long time ago (twenty years or more!) and it talked about raising successful children. I'm not sure where I got it but the only thing I remember is the mentioning of "the invisible audience" and this concept has stuck with me. When we raise our children, we may try to please decision makers and shift our focus from the unique characteristics of our children's souls to what the world out there wants from them, teaching them to please. How often do I play to an audience that simply does not exist? Why do I feel judged so much of the time? I am growing some hinds feet and I am in the habit of believing that faceless, nameless, audience members are watching and taking notes. This affects how I behave and sidetracks me. It is very difficult to lay aside productivity expectations, so I'm wondering if we are seeking answers "out there" instead of "in here" and neglecting to acknowledge that the journey is a lonely, private one. When the Shepherd gave Much-Afraid the companions, Sorrow and Suffering, she was upset and afraid. She was afraid to experience more sadness and she was fearful regarding suffering. She wanted Peace and Joy instead. The Shepherd challenged her, asking her if she thought Peace and Joy would be the best choice. She accepts Sorrow and Suffering and begins the scary trip. Stay tuned.
"The old-fashioned home with its fireside companionship, its religious devotion and its closely-knit family ties is my idea of what a home should be."
Father Flanagan started Boys Town. He INVITED children into love, warmth, belonging. Bill had a fire in the fireplace when I came downstairs at 5 am. It smells like the beach to me. It reminds me of the bonfires we had on Guemes Island when we were kids. Mom and Dad rented a cabin a few times so we could spend a week at the beach. The fishing cabins were sparse. Mom brought all the food, packed our bags, filled the car with gas and we would rush to catch the ferry boat that left every hour from Anacortes. I smell it now, thanks to Bill's industrious morning and I wanted you to see our little fire of hearth and home. I went to Camp Lutherwood when I was a child and we had a campfire every evening. We'd dress in long pants (I wore royal blue corduroys and an orange crew-neck sweatshirt), buy a Pepsi at the snack shop, and hunker down to sing new songs with our fellow campers. I liked looking around at the kids in the firelight. I felt such a sense of comradery. Later, we'd pad back to our cement floored cabins, crawl into our sleeping bags and drift off to sleep, the smell of firelight still in our stringy hair. Years later, at Malibu Club, when Bill was running the program or speaking at Young Life camp, I'd take the kids back to our cabin and if it had rained all day (British Columbia is wet) I'd try to rustle up a warm fire to while away the evening. That smell again. So true, so warm, so inviting. Yes, it's spring and yes, the ground will remain covered in white until tomorrow, and today I am blessed with a fire.
So, this is me . . .
and I try to be something else . . .
and as sad as it is, I keep trying!
When REALLY, I'm a sheep among many sheep.
We struggle with the ghosts of what we want to be. If we were just an "also ran" in high school, don't we try and try to become one of the stand out "kids" in the crowd? If we were a decent athlete, but still unsatisfied, do we try to somehow/someway get the kind of accolades that we STILL want so badly? If we were a stocky kid (this is me!) don't we want to somehow/somehow transform into a skinny person? I do. It's so dumb. Isn't our "wannabe" our thorn in the flesh? Think of our children or our friends or our siblings, for that matter . . . if we knew they wanted to be something they CAN NEVER BE, it makes sense to say to them, "I LOVE YOU the way you are and I know that what you are striving for is highly unlikely, so please rest and give up that futile quest." Or we might just try to love them harder, so they'd know that they ARE ENOUGH. We just don't feel like we are ENOUGH so much of the time. But, that lamb huddled up with the LION, that looks like ENOUGH to me. Lord, I need you. I need you REAL bad.
It's coming down again, but no snow day this time. I think it's a day to watch a film at school, not listen to Mrs. M explain the multi-genre research project. Decision made. The sweet peas are getting another generous drink as they stew and pop beneath the dirt in the whiskey barrel. Bill's perfectly groomed grass, receiving an icy coating, will be even greener when this storm passes. I shall don my clunky boots, smile a lot, make rice for the Writers Workshop class, usher the kids into their weekend and go with the flow myself. Spring is funny - she likes to throw us curve balls.
You know that fable about the ant and the grasshopper? The ant is busy storing up food for the winter, working his little tail off. The grasshopper is enjoying life and sort of scoffing at the ant for working so hard when he could be having some fun. That story makes me mad. I like the grasshopper. He is relaxed and enjoying the moment and I feel sorry for him that he has to listen to the ant brag about his productivity. I know the grasshopper gets really hungry and almost dies because he didn't plan ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. I feel this way at school sometimes. I'm fifty. I have nothing to prove. I love the kids and I want them to engage and respond to the world. I do plan, but not as much as I should. I hate packets and I hate the restrictions of schedules, but I do sort of "starve" when "winter" hits and THEN I realize how I could have approached the unit, lesson, activity with a little more foresight. I cheer for the grasshoppers. I'm a little jealous of the ants. Maybe it's because I have a little of the sloth in me.
This is the book I'm trying to read in our twenty-five minute literacy period at school. I have read it before, but this time I want to digest it by reading it slowly and annotating. The verse in Habakkuk 3:19 appears just before the preface and reads like this, "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like Hind's feet and he will make me to walk upon mine High Places." In the preface, Hannah Hurnard says, "But the High Places of victory and union with Christ cannot be reached by any mental reckoning of self to be dead to sin, or by seeking to devise some way or discipline by which the will can be crucified. The only way is by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by continually repeated laying down of our own will and acceptance of his as it is presented to us in the form of the people with whom we have to live and work, and in the things which happen to us. Every acceptance of his will becomes an altar of sacrifice, and every such surrender and abandonment of ourselves to his will is a means of furthering us on the way to the High Places to which he desires to bring every child of his while they are still living on earth" (12). Deep. Hard to understand. I'm only just beginning to grasp surrender. Acceptance goes against our cultural pep talks. You know the drill. Don't accept any thing less than YOU deserve. Don't settle! Don't back down. Go for the goal. Take life by the throat and get what you want. Never give up. I'm thinking that the contrast between what our world's voices tell us and what God wants for us, is one of the reasons that Jesus said that the road to heaven is narrow and few will find it. Not very many people will accept circumstances when it means surrender and abandonment of self. I guess we don't REALLY believe in the High Places of the earthly journey we are required to take. How often do YOU think about the metaphorical High Places? I DO believe this life is a training ground. I DO believe we are transforming, shaped by our daily living and varied experience. We are headed toward the High Places. I do not know what the High Places look like. I am reading to seek out a definition of the High Places. It feels like I am on a mystery tour, unsure of the stops along the way, innocently trusting the guide.
This morning I stopped by our neighborhood grocery store to buy some snacks for my Writers Workshop kids. I've taken to carrying my camera in my purse so I can snap shots when I see pretty or interesting images. The floral department is like a buoy for a drowning woman. I like to think that every juicy bouquet is purchased for a very deserving person. Maybe a bunch of tulips are snatched up for a tired teacher. Maybe an orchid is chosen for a pretty sister. Could it be that a dozen roses are carefully placed in a small shopping basket, tagged for a sick wife? Chances are a well-crafted arrangement is removed from the cold case so a faithful and efficient office manager will know he or she is appreciated and cared for. Quite possibly, a happy homemaker buys two mixed bouquets because she knows that flowers make every room more inviting to her well-loved family. I hope people-weary check out clerks treat themselves to some posies occasionally, too. Soon, we'll buy our truckload of topsoil and spend Mothers Day weekend planting zinnias, hollyhocks, pansies, snapdragons, and sunflowers. I vow to cut more, bundle more, and give more.
shhhhhhhhh . . . there are gnomes about!
This little gnome weathered winter peeking out of the boxed flower bed that used to hold an aged maple tree. I put him there to see if my neighbor would notice him as she pottered around in her garden. Lemon Balm is just beginning to poke out its head and he told me that he'd like a few pansies in his garden this year. He hates the roar of the lawn mower even though he appreciates the short grass when he hops out of the flower bed to snoop around the garden. He does this at night, after our lights are out and we have gone to sleep. When the tree was still alive, we'd wake up to bird song (a lot of it!) but now I'm sure that if I wake up early enough and listen hard enough, I'll hear him scramble back to his post. Of course I will plant pansies for him and my sweet, gardening neighbor will tenderly tuck in a few surprises for him as well.
Poke around today and find some new growth. Look in the "bit of earth" you call your own or peer into your very soul. I'm sure you'll find some healthy sprouts.
Jeff took this picture in Minsk. I love the old wagon, don't you? Home from the market she goes. I have never been to a European city. I've only been to a few Asian countries and Australia, but there is something timeless about this woman and I like timeless. All my life, I've longed for the past. I preferred old houses, old clothes, old furniture. I like Donna Reed, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, The Patty Duke Show. I'm not sure if I like the simplicity or the images of all things happy. I don't gravitate toward conflict, so I like to live in a happy world via television, books, and movies. However, I'm finding myself less drawn to artificial worlds as I get older and choose to descend rather than ascend. As I look at this week, I feel equipped to take it as it comes instead of trying to put a positive spin on it. I am moving away from "responsible for your own life" toward the obscurity of surrender. It feels wobbly, but right.
I DID make a little cross!
Silly Birdie in her Easter dress!
It rained! Oh well, Easter is special even in the rain. Honestly, I sort of dragged all day and was happy to get the potatoes, salad, and flank steak made. I took a nap after reading At Home in Mitford for a while and visited with the kids. Is it possible that the weekend is over and I return to school already? I drew my most memorable Easter dress, made a cross with some pine twigs, but I didn't go for a nice walk - too cold and rainy. Everyone was a little tired and blah today, maybe because of all the togetherness (!) and noise. Sometimes, it doesn't sound fun to add bells and whistles to the festivities. I really don't want to be depended on for that. We will have our family gathering at the church next Sunday - and life will be back to "normal" once again. I hope your Easter brought fun and laughter. I felt encouraged to see that The Sound of Music was on television, so simple, sweet and friendly. Bed is beckoning me. Take care.
Hello! We had a busy day today shopping for food and gifts for Jeff's 23rd birthday and then having everyone over for dinner. Yahoo! We had lots of squealing and jumping and running! CB and Birdie loved their Easter gifts from Auntie Jay and everyone was actually in high spirits as we celebrated Jeff's birthday. Remember how yesterday I said that I wanted to carve out some individual celebration time? Yeah, I hope I can. Preparing big family meals takes so much longer than I think it will, but just the same . . . I wish to find the time to have a few precious moments alone with my Savior. Part of our shopping day was taking Birdie and Miss Bug to the outdoor mall so Kelli could get some jeans and other fun things. I had Miss Bug in the front carrier and Bird in the stroller. I looked like Super Grandma with two g-babes in tow! Whew! I did not get a nap today and now I am ready to snuggle into bed and read. Finn and CB are going to their other grandparents house for Easter. I am so glad we got to see them tonight. They are happy and excited when they are around all the commotion. Bird and Miss Bug will be back for dinner tomorrow. Jenny and Scott (and Beans the Fox) will come, too. We will have enjoyed such a joyous Easter weekend. I'll let you know about my little celebrations tomorrow evening. I pray that you have a peaceful and encouraging Easter Sunday! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello, hello and happy Friday! Good Friday. Did you know all the international stock markets were closed today? I like that. A few of the kids at school asked me what I planned to do for Easter, but most didn't even mention it. Hmmmmm. I'm not sure what that means. There are so many joyful Easter songs. I hope you have an opportunity to sing some of them this weekend. We are having as many as can come over for dinner Sunday and before that, on Saturday, we'll celebrate Jeff's birthday since he was in Germany on his actual day! He won't give me any serious suggestions for gifts. I'm not so good at gifts anymore. My lack of planning ahead skills often manifests itself in mediocre gifts. I'll let you know if I get a great idea . . . before tomorrow! I'm so happy to have Bill and Jeff home. Bill has already mowed our lawn, done all his laundry and sent Jeff to the grocery store for our Friday night steak dinner. I would much rather be with my dear ones than hang out at home alone like a hermit-y little poet! Although, I LOVE that in small doses as well! I took a photo of the weather-beaten bird church in our front garden, because of Easter and the place we can gather to celebrate our RISEN Lord. I also included a photo of the sturdy little beginnings of my one bunch of daffodils! Aren't they suggestive of all the flowers we can look forward to? Yea! Jeff took some powerful photographs and I will post them tomorrow. He captures such thought provoking images. You'll love them. My wish for you is a sweet and holy weekend, filled with reminders of the Savior. I think I'll try to have a little celebratory moment to myself on Easter Sunday. Maybe I'll take a sunrise walk or write about my most memorable Easter dresses and all the yummy Easter breakfasts we had at church when I was a child, all because my mom and dad tried so hard to remind us of the sacrifice made on our behalf. Or I might make a cross from two twigs and some hemp. How about we all try this : go into the bathroom alone, close the door, look in the mirror, place your hands on the sides of your face and say to your image, "Jesus died for you. He loves you with an everlasting love." Rejoice!
After Newspaper Club at school, I dashed off to pick up Bill and Jeff at the airport. Yes! They are home! Yahoo! Home feels more like home with these two here! I can sleep better, leave in the morning with less stress, and look forward to some sweet conversations in the next few days. I'll post some cool Uganda and Belarus pictures as soon as I can talk Jeff into putting them on my laptop. He took zillions of shots and I'm sure you'll like gazing at a few of them. Bill is already putzing around the house, doing helpful things. Smile!
Today was peaceful. Even though we had a meeting during our first planning period, it was fun to spend some time gathered around a table with my teammates. They are kind and dear. The kids did a spectacular job in their book circles, too. They love governing themselves. This was one of those days when the rapport with them was sweet. They love to talk to each other and when they don't have to restrain themselves from their natural tendency to talk, they feel better about being at school. I love them. I love the quiet ones, the shy ones, the exceedingly confident ones and the loud and naughty ones. When I arrived home, I sat for a minute waiting for Kelli, Birdie and Miss Bug. They had some dinner with me and then Birdie and I played while Miss Bug and Kelli worked in the office upstairs. There is something about "hump day" and with a good week at school, so far, I am feeling cheerful. Bill and Jeff will arrive home tomorrow evening. Yipppeeeee! I've been reading some blogs and I find it encouraging that so many people excel at photo-journaling. This venue goes way beyond scrap booking and women (and men) who access it amaze me with their creativity, vulnerability and artistic perspective. I watched some kids in the yearbook class playing around with Microsoft Publisher and they were creating beautiful stuff! One of my Writers Workshop students showed me her blog. Have people ever communicated in such an efficient and aggressive way before now? Many say that the technological way of building community is a cheap substitute for face-to-face friendship and while that can be the case, the opportunity to read and write our way into relationships is exciting! When I read poetic posts that share joy and sorrow, funny commentaries on artistic craft, musings about life in the country, I feel invited into peoples' worlds and I am inspired and encouraged in my own creative life! So, thanks for blogging and bless you for sharing your insight and joy with me! Thank you, Lord, for a beautiful and sunshine drenched day. The pink tulips on my desk are so beautiful and fresh - thanks for those, too!

Shock revelation as Carrey cleared
Actor Jim Carrey poses for photographers at the premiere of the film 'Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond' at the 74th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy,
by The Sun
1st Feb 2018 5:34 AM
JIM Carrey has been cleared of playing a part in his ex-lover's suicide after his lawyer proved she tried to blackmail him with faked STD results.
Irish-born Cathriona White's family claimed the actor, 56, supplied her with drugs following her fatal overdose in 2015 and infected her with three sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs).
But the Golden Globe winning actor's legal team proved that White forged medical records which showed that she had no STDs before she met Carrey, reports The Sun.
A court document shows that White used the test results of her friend, referred to as Jane Doe, to fake her own results.

The wrongful death lawsuits, filed by White's estranged husband Mark Burton, and mother Brigid Sweetman, were dismissed January 25, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The star filed a countersuit last September claiming that the legal action was an attempt to exploit a famous actor.
Carrey claimed that White tried to blackmail him by threatening to feed the press with false allegations that he had infected her with STDs.
Cathriona White had a history of depression. Picture: Instagram
She also alleged that the actor, known for hit movies such as Dumb and Dumber and The Truman Show, introduced her "to cocaine and prostitutes".
White's family alleged that Carrey supplied her with illegal drugs which she used to overdose.
They also claimed that the alleged STDs contributed to her mental distress.

Last year, Carrey's lawyer Raymond Boucher demanded that the court compel Burton to provide White's STD test results.
The actor's legal team concluded that the 2011 document, showing that White was clear of STDs before she met Carrey, had been forged.
Make-up artist White, from County Tipperary, Ireland, had an on-off relationship with Carrey from 2012 to her death in 2015.

The 30-year-old suffered from depression, and had threatened suicide before taking her life in 2015.
She passed away on September 28 at her home in Los Angeles.
Shortly before, she wrote on Twitter: "Signing off Twitter, I hope I have been a light to my nearest and dearest. Peace and love to you all."
Mark Burton, the estranged ex-husband of Cathriona White, sued Jim Carrey for her wrongful death. Picture: Instagram
A spokesman for Carrey told The Hollywood Reporter: "Jim is looking forward to moving on with his life now."
A lawyer representing White's family reportedly said: "We have no further comment at this time."

Christofle PERLES Silverplated Dessert Knives Set of Six. French Silver-maker Christofle is an enduring symbol of luxury, elegance and prestige in the art of silver.
The sober elegance of the cascade of tiny beads which characterizes the Christofle pattern PERLES was initially created in 1876. The beads are chiseled in decreasing order of size in a way similar to that of a pearl necklace. The PERLES pattern best typifies the Regency style in its perseverance with the Neo-classical revival. This classical pattern has appeared on the most prestigious tables around the world and is probably the most copied of all Christofle patterns.
It is found at the Elysee Palace in Paris, the palace of the King of Morocco in Rabat and the Prince of Galles Hotel in Paris. Each item in this set is fully hallmarked with Christofle hallmarks. SIX Christofle Perles Dessert Knives 7 3/4 inches (19.5 cm). This set is in good used condition with normal signs of use in hairline surface scratches, and without any major dents, major scratches, deep tarnish, or discoloration.
The handles show time in use through numerous small dings as shown in pictures. The knives are shiny with reasonable luster as seen in the photos.
Please review the photos and write me if you need more details. Thank you for your understanding. Please check out my other silver items! The item "Christofle PERLES Silver Plated Dessert Cheese Salad Knives Set of 6 (7 3/4 in)" is in sale since Saturday, December 20, 2014.


Last year I already had the opportunity to visit the ECC Forum. While the event I attended in September was primarily aimed at B2B decision-makers, the ECC Köln focused on B2C topics on April 3rd. Unfortunately I could not visit the B2B-Forum 2019 the following day due to scheduling reasons. But for all those who could not visit the B2C Forum, I would like to summarize some insights and notes of selected lectures in this article.
As last year, Dr. Kai Hudetz, Director of the Institut für Handelsforschung and the ECC Köln, opened the ECC Forum with his keynote speech.
Companies with high innovative power (e.g. GAFA) dominate, so that the gap in e-commerce continues to widen.
This can be seen, for example, in the Relevant Set of the DIY sector: traditional chains such as OBI, Bauhaus, toom, etc. continue to be present in brick-and-mortar business, while Amazon dominates online.
Retailers must differentiate themselves and create added value for their customers in order to remain successful online in the future.
The associated transformation is exhausting and a permanent process. It's not a project that's ever gonna be completed.
Action days such as Black Friday etc. are undoubtedly on the rise and enable new business models.
Social media networks such as Instagram are increasingly developing into sales platforms.
The importance of bloggers and influencers is also increasing – especially in the young target group of 14 to 19-year-olds.
Voice commerce is still in the experimental phase, but the breakthrough is about to happen.
Afterwards Marcus Diekmann, CCO and CDO at the bicycle retailer ROSE Bikes, explained very impressively which mindset companies have to develop in order to be successful today and in the future.
Diekmann recently worked in the mattress business. The latter has recently undergone several disruptive transformations due to the success of Bett1 and the associated emergence of distance trade and the boxspring trend.
In terms of the way of working it helps to learn from Scrum.
Define consumer needs based on the data.
And then execute the process "Test -> Learn -> Build Bigger" again and again.
It can also help to cluster and prioritise ideas.
What do I have to do today for tomorrow?
What do I have to do today for the day after tomorrow?
What other potentials do I have?
After a short coffee break, Armin Meraner, Head of eCommerce at Vorwerk Temial, revealed how his company digitizes direct sales for the sale of the fully automatic tea machine Temial.
In the past, Vorwerk sold its products mainly via commercial travellers. Today the distribution takes place in particular via parties.
The advantage of direct sales for Vorwerk is that the company is very close to its customers in this way. But even this form of distribution must be digitized in order to continue to be successful.
Vorwerk consultants are self-employed and earn commissions. Challenge: How can a digital channel, via which the customer can order after the consultant contact, be designed fairly for the consultant?
o Consultants were actively involved in this huge change for them. Consultants were also always involved in testing the solutions.
o At first, consultants did not feel comfortable with the Omnichannel strategy.
o Therefore a Commission Engine was developed, which calculates the commission of the consultants based on all sales data.
o The consultants thus also receive a certain commission if the customer does not order immediately.
o For this purpose, the data of the client and the consultant must be linked together. This will be done during the party via Gamification.
o The ordering process also has to be digitized. The order is now completed via the customer's smartphone. This process creates trust.
o Runs with focus on ease of use.
BabyOne: Think big for little people!
In a QA session, Dr. Eva Stüber, Member of the Management Board at IFH/ECC Köln, talked to Stefan Keil, Managing Director of BabyOne, about the digital challenges facing the baby retailer.
BabyOne sells products for children aged 0 to 3 years. The target group is therefore very small. Substantial parts of the customer base have to be acquired year after year.
Brick-and-mortar retail is an important mainstay and will remain so. Especially with baby articles, customers still value the haptic experience.
Nevertheless, Omnichannel offerings will continue to be expanded. However, the franchisees are strongly involved, e.g. via the "Fachmarkt Online" offer: All stores are listed online with their inventory. When the customer buys something via the online store, it is shipped from the store. The franchisee receives the turnover.
The baby article market is characterised by a large brand strength (e.g. Maxi-Cosi). This promotes the Amazonization of the industry. BabyOne must therefore reach a similar level in terms of prices and product information. In addition, the company tries to differentiate itself through its own brands and its brick-and-mortar stores.
Tim Buchholz, Principle Platform Business at OTTO, on the other hand, provided a look at the challenges within the platform economy.
With an annual turnover of 3.2 billion euros and constant linear growth, OTTO is actually in a good position. But platform operators are experiencing exponential growth.
OTTO also intends to transform its business model in the direction of platform business.
In order to understand the success of the platform economy, three things are crucial.
The human brain has been working the same way for centuries. However, the range of products available has increased considerably in recent decades. This leads to the so-called Paradox of Choice: people are attracted by a large selection. At the same time, the huge selection also demotivates. Platforms thus attract customers because of their large range of products, but are faced with the challenge of giving customers the feeling of buying what is right for them personally. If this succeeds, the providers can enjoy the loyalty of their customers.
As early as 1956, scientist George A. Miller discovered that a human being can only keep 7 ± 2 information units present in short-term memory at the same time (the so-called Miller's law). More providers therefore do not make it into the relevant set. This plays into the hands of platform operators.
Platforms also benefit from the umbrella effect: once customers have had a good experience with a brand, they transfer this feeling to their further contact with the brand. Companies must therefore above all offer customers positive experiences.
In his talk, Rafael Baer, CDO of Leder & Schuh AG, provided information about the omni-channel activities of the shoe retailer HUMANIC, which is mainly present in Austria.
Study results show that almost 100 percent of consumers under the age of 50 prefer online shopping. This is of course a problem for a stationary retailer like HUMANIC.
o yourSize: The customer's feet are scanned and measured in a branch. This also happens with all products in the range, so that customers can also see suitable models online. Among other things, this leads to a decline in the returns ratio.
o Valuation management: Active customer engagement (both digital and business) has led to a significant increase in positive valuations in particular. In addition, a tool was introduced to check ratings across all channels.
Shortly afterwards, Henning Henningsen and Matthes Kohndrow, Product Owner at Audi, gave an insight into a part of the automotive group's e-commerce activities.
The starting points for e-commerce in the automotive sector are Vehicle Sales, Aftersales, Mobility and Digital Services. Henningsen and Kohndrow deal with digital services.
Challenge: Cars have a very long, linear lifecycle. It often takes almost 20 years from the idea to the end of production. Digital services, on the other hand, have a different claim: they go live much faster and are then iteratively optimized.
The work on Digital Services must take place between these two worlds: On the one hand you need flexibility, but on the other hand you are also bound to the specifications of the group (time, budget, quality, etc.).
The digital services are technically realized as microservices. The core contains generic platform services on which various use cases can be set up as apps.
The organisation also had to change. Initially, those responsible for e-commerce at Audi were based in different organisational units. For this reason, a matrix structure was first established so that the employees could work together beyond the boundaries of the organisational units. Now a separate department is being promoted.

Lets Die Slowly
From the recording Independence Vol 1; demos and outtakes
I wrote this song a long time ago when I was in my late teens. I have recorded it a few times, but this is its first release. This song never loses its magic for me. I think I have a relationship with it as it is a song dedicated to my mother Jean. The song is supposed to be from the perspective of a child looking up at his mother from the cradle - that Mom is his whole world and vise-verse. Don't be deceived by the title. It could also just be called "Lets Live Long".

How a Starcraft 2 Player Broke the Meta
May 11, 2020 by bunnymuffins
For most of Set 3, everyone has primarily utilized two leveling strategies: Fast 8 and Slow Roll. With the introduction of Patch 10.9, we started to see some Hyper Roll. We all know how insane these compositions can feel–we see the 6 team synergies hitting their stride at level 8 every game, or we see a ton of 3 star units in stage 3 from the hyper and slow rollers. What if I told you that NONE of these playstyles were actually the best?
Introducing Polt, a Starcraft player who recently started streaming TFT. He has won almost half a million dollars from Starcraft according to Liquidpedia, and has won many tournaments in his highly successful career. He first claimed fame when he defeated BoxeR, a Starcraft legend, so we know he means business. After serving in the military after retiring from Starcraft, his next conquest was Teamfight Tactics.
You may have noticed a shift in the leaderboards recently in North America. Polt comfortably held the rank 1 spot on May 4th for a few days, sitting above 1500LP. Many top streamers were wanting to know how he played, and he finally revealed what he's been up to with his first stream on May 5th. After watching around 6 hours of his gameplay that day and 6 more throughout the week, the secret was out.
If you thought hyper roll or slow roll or fast 8 was the only way to play, Polt quickly proves that wrong. If you thought early game didn't matter and that health wasn't important, he would disagree. Polt adopted an innovative playstyle that involves aggressive leveling and extreme adaptation.
Let's get into how he plays.
Normally in the early game, we learned that we should level if we think we can win streak. We also had Mismatched Socks, the Set 2 rank 1, coach Becca recently saying how he almost never levels before Krugs. Polt quickly counters that by ALWAYS PRE LEVELING ON STAGE 2-3. Pre leveling is spending gold on experience, but not actually leveling up on that round. Instead the player passively levels up the next round. For example, in stage 2-3, if you never leveled before, you will be level 4 with 0/10 experience. What Polt does is press level up twice, putting him at 8/10 experience. Since we gain 2 experience every round, he will be level 5 after the carousel. Let's get into why he does this.
First, Polt values health total. You see him always going for strong early game items such as Ionic Spark and Red Buff. Leveling early coincides with this notion where he plays the strongest board possible. Second, he values getting a higher champion pick rate. After every level, you unlock access to stronger units. Polt's adaptive playstyle allows him to use ANY 4 cost carry, which means that earlier access to 4 cost units allows him to power spike quicker.
The next thing we see Polt do is almost always leveling to 6 by 3-2. Note, if he is on a win streak, he will always level on 3-1. After leveling, he rolls in a high percentage of his games to complete pairs or find 4 costs. Next in stage 3, he will level to 7 after carousel if he wants to continue his win streak. If not, he will wait and go to 7 on 4-1. The general rule here is always staying around 20-40 gold. For example, if he has 55 gold on stage 3-5 and it costs 28 gold to level, he will generally level to 7 since he would still stay above 20 gold. You will rarely see him above 50 gold.
In the late game, he will generally go to level 8 at 5-1. This is a late level 8, but since he rolls during level 6 and 7, it is only natural that he hits level 8 later. The champions he prioritizes is Jinx, Kayle, Irelia, Chogath, and Wukong. If you haven't noticed the pattern yet, he likes 4 cost units. Another unit he plays a lot is Blitzcrank because he complements both Chogath and Wukong with Chrono Brawler.
Polt has a low risk playstyle with the primary goal of preserving health. He will not hyper roll, he will not slow roll, and he will also rarely go for 3* 4 cost units such as Jinx or Kayle. He also does not go for Mana Printer Sona. If you look at his match history, you may also notice that he rarely plays the same comp, yet uses the same champions every game. He simply plays whatever he hits and completes his team with minor synergies. All in all, what this leads to is a lot of top 2s and top 3s, but very few wins compared to other players. This can be evidenced by his 16% win rate paling in comparison to 23% of Soju, 26% of Milk, and 24% of Socks.
While Polt is no longer rank 1, I am guessing this is partly due to him starting his stream. Playing on stream is completely different from playing on your own. Streamers are often unfocused and need to pay attention to their viewers instead of the game. Very few players actually play on their top ranked account on stream. Another reason why he isn't rank 1 anymore is because we likely have some players adopting his playstyle, learning to play around him, and perhaps contesting his units a little more than before. Even after all this, Polt's rise teaches us that no one has figured out the best way to play TFT, and there are many different ways to approach the game. This is why I have always suggested to find a playstyle you enjoy and excel in and sticking to that. We've had many people complain about this patch about hyper roll and mana printer compositions, but all I know is that these comps are not even the main weapon of the top players.

One of the first things you'll notice at a contra dance are the smiles on everyone's face. As somebody once said, "It's the most fun that you can have as an adult." While that is true, of course the reality is that contra dancing is fun even for kids.
We welcome people of all ages at our dances, and IT IS GOOD FOR YOU! This story in the New York Times describes a study in which half the subjects began contra dancing and half stayed as they were (i.e., the couch potato group). After half a year, the contra dance group's brains were significantly healthier than those of the couch potatoes! Their brain health seemed to actually improve.
We in Michigan are fortunate in having at least ten different contra dance communities in the state. Flint Contra Dancers has been our local group here in Flint. Unfortunately, our board has decided not to schedule any contra dances in the Fall of 2018. We suggest that you visit the AACTMAD calendar for other dance opportunities in Michigan.

Old Law Is Cheap Law
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper No. #20-07-05
See all articles by Gerrit De Geest
Gerrit De Geest
Washington University in St. Louis - School of Law
Date Written: July 1, 2020
The legal system has expanded enormously over the centuries. The number of rules has grown exponentially, and so has the capacity of the legal system. In this paper, I show that the growth of legal rules can best be understood as a function of the growth of the capacity. A larger capacity changes the law in several ways. First, it allows the law to attack more types of undesirable behavior. When the legal system's capacity is limited, it can attack only the most harmful acts. As capacity grows, it can also attack acts that are less harmful at the margin. Take pre-contractual liability — rules that deal with bad behavior during negotiations that do not lead to a contract. Although this act is socially harmful, its harm tends to be low — usually just the time lost by the candidates. In addition, adjudicating such cases is labor-intensive, as proving the parties' intentions and statements during negotiations is intrinsically difficult. Not surprisingly, no court on this planet accepted pre-contractual liability cases before the 20th Century. Second, a larger capacity allows courts to use rules that are better but require more work for the courts. Consider the strict, 17th-century version of the parol evidence rule. The rule held that whenever there was a writing, no "parol evidence" (literally, "oral evidence," for instance testimony from witnesses) was allowed. A strict parol evidence rule is cheap law: Courts only have to read within the "four corners' of the document. On the bright side, this allows courts to decide cases in fifteen minutes, so to speak. On the not so bright side, this often leads to courts getting the facts wrong as the writing does not always reflect the true agreement. In the 19th and 20th century, American courts carved out a growing list of exceptions. Today, parol evidence is permitted in a wide range of circumstances, for instance, when the document contains an error or looks incomplete. In some American states (the so-called "Corbin jurisdictions"), parol evidence is permitted even to contradict written terms. All these exceptions lead to higher-quality outcomes (courts are more likely to discover the truth), but they also require more work from the courts. Given capacity constraints, a strict parol evidence rule may have made sense in the 17th Century. By "old law is cheap law," I mean that in the past, when the economy was less developed, law was a product society spent less money on. Law was, in other words, a low-quality-low-price product. Just like low-income people buy a cheap house or a cheap car, poor societies buy cheap law. Cheap law is of lower quality in that it tolerates more harmful acts or leads to courts getting the facts wrong more often.

A DIY Dream: What If Apple Had Made A Watch In 1985?
By Caele Pemberton
The Apple II Watch is meant to parody the Apple Watch and show what wearables might have looked like in the 1980s.
One tech nerd is bringing the '80s back, this time in wearables.
The Apple II Watch, designed by 24-year-old DJ Harrigan, is meant to parody the Apple Watch, which was released Friday, and show what wearables might have looked like in the 1980s. The design is bulky and retro, with a tan body and the rainbow Apple logo evocative of the '70s and '80s.
Harrigan works for , a do-it-yourself site where people can upload instructions on how to make various projects. It's no coincidence the watch appeared on the DIY site just before the debut of the Apple Watch. Harrigan finished the design by February but wanted to wait to release it until it was more relevant.
When he set out to design the watch, Harrigan initially wanted to make it a miniature version of the computer you could wear on your wrist. Instead, he decided to just parody the interface, not the actual hardware.
"I'm a huge computer history nerd fan," he said. "And I wanted to make something that sort of celebrated that, but also made fun of it a little bit since wearables are still kind of this new awkward thing. I just really wanted to imagine what an equivalent would be in the 1980s because it's such an iconic computer for a lot of people."
When you start the watch up, the screen fills with brackets, just like an original Apple II. Using the knob on the side, you scroll through a menu featuring several options. But clicking on "weather," for example, only shows an image of the Earth. The watch can tell you the time, but beyond that it doesn't do much. To make it more functional, Harrigan would have spent much more time on the project, he said.
For electronics and the 3-D-printed parts, the total cost of the project is about $200, he said.
Harrigan put the directions for how to make it on Instructables. People have asked him if he'll sell the watches, but he said he won't for a few reasons. First, he loves his job and doesn't have time to make these for everyone interested. Also, the watch is a parody but it still resembles an Apple product, and he didn't want to step on Apple's toes, he said.
/ UIG/Landov
The Apple II, also known as the Apple ][, was introduced in 1977 and helped kick off the personal computer boom.
Apple hasn't commented on the watch, but , the designer of the Apple II computer, commented on the Instructables page: "This is incredible and has great significance to the maker community. I would buy this over the Apple watch and would wear it too! It would go well with my nixie watch," he wrote.
Harrigan said he was blown away that Wozniak commented.
"This [the original Apple II] is something he spent thousands of hours on, so it really overwhelmed me that he would go out of his way to compliment me on that," he said.
Harrigan doesn't actually wear the watch. In fact, he doesn't wear a watch at all. He thought about buying a smartwatch, but said he has a few issues with them. The battery life is a concern, and so is having another screen to distract him.
"I enjoy making technology, but I definitely want to minimize it in my daily interactions," he said.
The design includes several stickers to help make it look more like the original computer, and it even includes two tiny, mock floppy disks. Harrigan considered adding some kind of magnetic storage for the watch, but again it came down to time.
He's thinking about making something more functional in the future. He's really interested in wearable tech inspired by his favorite Marvel hero, Iron Man.
Several commenters have expressed interest in making the watch, and one commenter, Damian Peckett, has already started trying to figure out how to make the watch run an Apple II emulator, which would allow the watch to run software originally used in the Apple II computer. He's also working on a better battery.
Peckett said he hopes to be wearing something inspired by Harrigan's project soon.

Brockington Drugstore
SC PICTURE PROJECT 1 Comment
SC Picture Project / Williamsburg County / Brockington Drugstore
This two-story commercial building in downtown Kingstree was built as a pharmacy around 1900, replacing an earlier building used for the same purpose. Pharmacist Dr. James Screven Brockington opened his drugstore on this site in 1873. Dr. Brockington died in 1892, and his son, Dr. W.V. "Jack" Brockington, continued the family business. It is thought that he replaced the original pharmacy with this brick building around the turn of the twentieth century.
Linda Brown of Kingstree, 2015 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
A carriage block to assist Dr. James Brockington's patients – and later his son's patients – was placed on the street corner in front of the drugstore. The stone block served as a step to help people as they climbed in and out of their carriages. The carriage block remains an historical reminder of Kingstree's downtown landscape in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
The first floor of the brick pharmacy has undergone modifications since it was built; most notably, the entrance door on the left was originally located on the corner of the building instead. Plate glass windows were also added. Several businesses have occupied the building over the years, including Gilman's Real Estate and Jean's Kut'n Kurl. Currently the historic building houses a florist and gift shop. According to contributor Linda Brown, today the building is owned by Jack Brockington's great-granddaughter.
The Brockington Drugstore is listed in the National Register in the Kingstree Historic District as Gilman's Real Estate and Jean's Kut'n Kurl:
The Kingstree Historic District contains forty-eight properties situated along Main Street, Academy Street, and Hampton Street in the commercial area of downtown Kingstree. The district includes the courthouse, public library, railroad station, and numerous commercial buildings. The district is a fine collection of nineteenth-century vernacular commercial architecture. Details such as arched doorways and windows, cast-iron columns and pilasters, decorative or corbelled brick work and pressed tin interior ceilings are present on most of the district's buildings. The Williamsburg County Courthouse, built ca. 1823, and designed by Robert Mills, is a fine example of Roman Neo-Classical design with its raised first floor, pediment with lunette, and Doric columns. In 1953-54 the courthouse underwent substantial remodeling on the exterior and interior, though it still reflects much of Mill's original design. With the exception of the courthouse, most of the buildings in the district were built between 1900 and 1920 when Kingstree enjoyed prosperity as a retail and tobacco marketing center of Williamsburg County. The majority of the buildings in the district are a visible record of this twenty-year growth and the historic fabric of the area remains substantially intact.

Manufacturing the Future
The ERC program is a particularly good example of how NSF brings together the discovery-driven culture of engineering. Manufacturers applaud NSF's efforts because they recognize that coming up with new systems and products is a much more complex and expensive venture than ever before, and they need the help of university-based researchers in order to build the science base for future advancements.
For example, it takes about a billion dollars to develop a new semiconductor chip capable of the kind of performance required in, say, high-definition television. That level of investment—that level of risk—deters even the most ambitious American companies from doing the kind of pioneering research necessary to keep them globally competitive. NSF's role as a catalyst for government-industry-academia collaboration is vital for the nation's economic well-being.
"You need a partnership," says NSF Deputy Director, Joseph Bordogna. "You need new knowledge out of universities and labs, new processes from industry, and a government willing to enable it all through appropriate R&D policy and frontier research and education investment, by and for the citizenry."
NSF's efforts to bridge the worlds of industry and academe reflect another truth about modern manufacturing: Knowledge and ideas are the most important raw materials.
"It's no longer profitable just to ship a piece of metal out the front door," industry analyst Graham Vickery told Industry Week. "What you're doing now is shipping some sort of component that requires things like support services, or advice, or design skills, or engineering know-how" in order for the component to be of actual use at the other end.
Finding innovative ways to handle information is now manufacturing's chief concern. "If you understand that today manufacturing is an enterprise-wide production process," says Eugene Wong, "you see that information management will assume an increasingly important role, one that may already have transcended the importance of transforming materials into products."
With NSF's help, American manufacturers are making the changes necessary to stay competitive in a marketplace increasingly dominated by e-commerce, while at the same time honoring the traditional core of manufacturing's purpose: the innovation of new technologies and products for an expectant public.
