Author, 'The 90-Day Novel' and 'The 90-Day Rewrite'
01/04/2013 02:38 pm ET Updated Mar 06, 2013
I'm nearing completion on a new novel and the same old thoughts are arising. What have I done? Am I really going to reveal these ugly aspects of myself to the world? (Or to the handful of people who might read it?) I've just spent more years than I care to admit wrestling with a very simple story, one that, when I tell people, they either recoil or look at me with deep concern. It's about a woman who leaves her marriage and ends up in a relationship with a guy recently paroled for committing a horrible crime. She doesn't actually want to know what he did, because the truth is, she's seeking escape from the confusion and loneliness of her recent separation -- but as they fall for each other the narrative thrust stems from his desire to be known by her, and her desire to feel safe.
So here I am, rounding the final turn and wondering why I have bothered to do this, and why this story, which perhaps no one else will care about, holds so much meaning for me. Sometimes I hear writers say that they have no choice, that the writing chose them. I understand the sentiment, but to suggest that we have no choice is nonsense, and frankly, it's a dangerous idea. It's important to acknowledge that we choose to write, or we risk bondage to our creativity. Our work becomes too important and we may, on a subtle or not-so-subtle level, demand a result that may not be forthcoming. Our lack of choice can make us tight and corrupt the process. We get up in the morning burdened by the chore of writing. We get stressed, believing it must be great, because after all, this is our destiny. And then the horrible thought, "What if we've been called to a worthless cause?" At least indentured servants are not required to pour their hearts and souls into their work!
When we truly have no choice, we tend to rebel. We look for choices within our lack of choice, because frankly, everything is creative. Cooking is creative -- and so is shoplifting. Giving birth is creative -- so is a knife fight. While there is a productive, life-affirming aspect to creativity, there is a destructive side as well.
Without choice we become victims. The victim identity sees things a certain way. It is a narrow perspective: hopeless, frugal, and fear-based. Victims live in survival mode and are often unable to see new possibilities and inquire into why things are the way they are.
We all have access to a wider perspective. On some level, the act of creation is a search for love. If we search for love from a victim perspective, which I think is actually fairly common, it becomes a search for what love can do for us. And on a subconscious level, this is what happens when we believe that our writing chooses us. When we choose to create, we take responsibility. We don't seek validation through result, but through process.
Whether we are aware of it or not, our characters are a manifestation of our internal beliefs. The plot is a backdrop, a field on which these characters act out the struggles we seek to resolve for ourselves. (This was very humbling and embarrassing for me to realize.) By acknowledging that our writing is a choice, we give space for our characters to discover what we seek to understand. Our decision to fall in love was a choice. Our decision to get married was a choice. Our decision to get a divorce, stop speaking to our folks, have an affair with a sociopath, abandon our cat, rescue a skunk, drink a fifth of whiskey -- everything we do is a choice.
By approaching our work from this perspective we take our thumb off the scale, and in doing so make conscious what was previously unconscious. And that is the goal of story: to make meaning out of a set of events.
Growth is painful. To make a choice involves discomfort, because it demands that we take responsibility. But it also means that we get to live in reality. To create from a place of fantasy, of groundlessness, is an escape -- which is different than losing ourselves in our work by shedding our ego for a deeper connection to our humanity.
Why we write is more important than what we write because our reason for writing influences the content of our work. It is important to remember that we don't have to do this. The world is not in a rush for more books. There are more great works of fiction, poetry, memoir, history and pumpkin soup recipes than we will ever have time to consume.
If we're going to write, it is because we have a desire to express ourselves, even if we don't quite understand what we wish to say. It might just be an inner yearning, but by making the choice to engage in the process rather than the result, our work has a chance to live. In expressing ourselves, we make what we write essential, if only to ourselves, and by beginning from this place, it has a chance to affect the world.
All right. I better go finish this book.

This article is for those interested in professional photography. I've taken a semi-academic approach here to illustrate topics that are not usually covered in training.
Everyone's a photographer, it's just that some photographers are better equipped than others. That might seem rather throwaway or even bawdy, but let's consider what that statement might mean.
Figure 1 – Sequoia National Park, CA, USA.
Almost from its inception photography has become a pastime for the masses, therefore everyone is a photographer. With the arrival of smart phones the technical skills needed to capture fantastic images has never been lower, and this is a good thing. Prosumer digital cameras make a great step-up from smartphones in both quality and usability; allowing designer-makers, artists, estate-agents, reporters to do away with many of the everyday jobs a professional photographer would be called to do less than a decade ago. This may not be a good thing, especially for the journeyman photographer who's role has all but disappeared.
Figure 2 – Press Shot – The Late George Melly.
Professional photographers have seen their world change now that high-quality photography can be easily achieved with only modest cameras. Buying higher specified kit is only one reading of 'better equipped'. Critical faculties need developing, unfortunately such topics are rarely the subject of training courses.
Training can outline the key technical skills of photography and post-processing, such as, camera usage, framing, depth-of-field, and measuring light. It is harder to cover the whys and wherefores of creative choice. This can lead to the lost art of self editing; which photographs to keep, how to categorise them, and how to stylise them. Style can be a flimsy word; ephemeral or trite, but is my short hand for personal visual language. Rather than explain further here's a quote from Chuck Close.
Our workshops and teaching can build the technical underpinning skills of photography, in class we try to contextualise subjects with real world examples.
Turning professional quickly becomes a question of price point, and the willingness of a client to pay for quality work, which demands a photographer who wants to take things to the next level.
Figure 3 – Photo-composite Art – Ring Road.
This can be described as efficiency versus sublime creativity. These are not mutually exclusive, often efficient working frees up the time for more creativity. Also, understanding process furthers creativity. Be assured our photography, Lightroom, and Photoshop courses cover the technical processes. It's just that being better equipped is more than hardware, or software knowledge.
In art-school serendipity is celebrated, but a professional needs to analyse happy accidents and replicate them on demand. This is where technical training is essential. Without sound underpinning knowledge your creativity will be limited.
I should conclude by saying my photographic education was accelerated in the hard knocks of press-photography. Working for the regional press I had to cover sports, civic handshakes, traffic incidents, fires, and quite a few village fetes. That's the real world context I use to underpinning my teaching.

Ice Hockey is a 1988 video game published and developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System video game console, based on the sport of the same name. It was released in Japan, and was later released in North America and in some PAL regions. It was originally released for the Family Computer Disk System, It was later re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console service in Japan, North America, and some PAL regions.
Ice Hockey is based on the sport of the same name, with the objective of the game being to get more points than the opposing player by hitting round, black pucks into the opposing goal with a hockey stick.
The play and mechanics of Ice Hockey are mostly similar to that of ice hockey in real life. The objective for both team is to hit a black puck with a hockey stick that each player carries into the opponent's goal. Teams are made up of five players including the goaltender, as opposed to six in real life. Players wear ice skates, which are used to skate across the icy arena. Each game is made up of three periods, with the victory going to the team who has the most points at the end of the game. At the beginning, two opposing players from each team face off in the middle of the rink. There are three kinds of players - the first is fast, weak, and feeble, but is good at the face-off; the second is average in all qualities, and the third is slow and poor at the face-off, but very powerful, both in body checking and shooting strength. The arena is similarly designed to a real-world ice hockey arena. The arena is coated in ice, with a goal on either side of the arena. There are a variety of marked areas, including the goal line that the puck must cross to score, the attacking/defending zone which is situated closely to each goal, the face-off spot, the neutral spot, and others. Each side of the arena has exactly the same design. If two opposing players fight for the puck for a certain amount of time, other players join into the fight, resulting in the player from the losing team in the fight to be put in the penalty box for a period of time.

Aeolian saltation transport rate: An example of the effect of sediment supply
Steven H. Williams, Jeffrey A. Lee
The channel of the Whitewater River near Palm Springs, California, is an excellent location to assess the effect of sand supply and mobility on the quantity of material moved by aeolian saltation. Saltation fluxes at the site taken by Sharp (1964) were compared to the fluxes that would have been produced under ideal conditions for the spectrum of winds inferred for the site. The discrepancy between the two fluxes is, in general, consistent with whose observed elsewhere for similar surfaces. Variations are linked to runoff in the Whitewater River and, hence, the supply of fresh sand.

Violence against the LGBTQIA+ community cannot be tolerated
(Caitlyn Sampley / Aggie)
We must condemn hate speech and put pressure on politicians to ensure LGBTQIA+ rights and safety
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
On Nov. 19, five people were killed and 17 were injured in a mass shooting targeting the LGBTQIA+ community. The shooting took place at Club Q, a gay bar in Colorado Springs, a day before Transgender Day of Rememberance — a day to honor those "whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence."
The incident is a reminder of the long history of violence against and oppression of LGBTQIA+ people in the U.S. and has left the community mourning, including some members of the Editorial Board. Regardless of our gender or sexual identities, the Editorial Board stands united with the LGBTQIA+ community across the U.S.
Hate crimes like this shooting are a frequent occurrence, caused in part by a lack of gun control. But a bigger issue is the prevalence of violent rhetoric against LGBTQIA+ people on digital media platforms and in politics.
Hate speech online has become a common occurrence which can lead to violent actions against the LGBTQIA+ community. For example, a Twitter account known as "Libs of TikTok" is an anti-LGBTQIA+ social media presence that spreads hateful messaging and misinformation to its follower base of 1.3 million. In addition to its large following, this account is particularly dangerous because it often targets and harasses people based on gender and sexual orientation, and the comment sections of their posts share the same sentiments thousands of times over.
Kyle Rittenhouse, another outwardly anti-LGBTQIA+ online presence who gained notoriety after shooting three men at a Black Lives Matter protest, mocked an LGBTQIA+ event taking place in Colorado on his social media account just hours before the Club Q shooting took place. Rittenhouse deleted his tweet after news of the shooting broke.
Many influencers and politicians have similarly posted hateful comments towards a community and then backtracked when an incident of violence occurred. For example, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado has spread anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric on Twitter, calling LGBTQIA+ people "groomers" and claiming children shouldn't make "life-altering decisions," referring to coming out as gay or transgender. But after the Club Q shooting, Boebert tweeted, "The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly." Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized her for voting against gun control in Congress and spreading hate online and then turning around and posting a sympathetic tweet.
Anti-transgender laws across the U.S. have also contributed to the previously discussed violent rhetoric. Such laws include bans on gender affirming medical care, restricting access to the use of appropriate facilities such as restrooms, limiting trans students' participation in sports and making it difficult to change their name and gender on official documents. Additionally, in the state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis passed a law known as "Don't Say Gay" bill, which prohibits teachers in public academic institutions from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity.
All of these examples normalize and contribute to the violence against the LGBTQIA+ community. Those who have contributed should take responsibility for their actions and be held accountable. Instead of sharing condolences when violent attacks do occur, they should change their actions to prevent these incidents from happening again. Additionally, it's important for allies and members of the community to continue to put pressure on elected officials to enact policy which upholds LGBTQIA+ rights and ensures the safety of LGBTQIA+ people.

Q: EXPO: Setting up react-native-action-sheet Currently trying to setup react-native-action-sheet and getting an invalid hook call
1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app

I followed the example and wrapped my wrapped your top-level component with even when using hooks.
export default () => (
  <ActionSheetProvider>>
    <App />
  </<ActionSheetProvider>>
);

Wondering if it's the way I set this up:
import { Linking } from 'react-native';
import { useActionSheet } from '@expo/react-native-action-sheet';

export const SideButton = () => {
  const { showActionSheetWithOptions } = useActionSheet();
  const cancelButtonIndex = 1;
  const options = ['Email', 'Cancel'];
  const title = 'Email Me';
  const message = 'Let me know your issues';

  return showActionSheetWithOptions(
    {
      options,
      cancelButtonIndex,
      title,
      message,
    },
    (buttonIndex) => {
      if (buttonIndex === 0) {
        Linking.openURL('mailto:_____').catch();
      } else {
        return;
      }
    }
  );
};

Or even how I call it here:
import { Linking, Text, TouchableOpacity, View } from 'react-native';
import { SideButton } from './utils/HelpPopUp';

const ButtonContainer = () => (
  <TouchableOpacity>
    <Text onPress={() => Linking.openURL('_MY_WEBSITE_').catch()}>Checkout my stuff</Text>
  </TouchableOpacity>
);

const Menu = (props) => {
  return (
    <View>
        <ButtonContainer />
    </View>
  );
};

export default Menu;

A: Sorry, my answer would be to suggest an alternative rather than answer your question and present the component I use myself. I did not use the package you mentioned in the topic, but I tried with a different package before, it does the same job. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-actions-sheet
This is the custom component I used.
import React from 'react';
import {StyleSheet, Text, View} from 'react-native';
import ActionSheet from 'react-native-actions-sheet';;

A scenic 15 minute flight to a remote camp on Punchbowl Glacier.
The tour begins as you rise above Girdwood Valley. Your 15 minute flight will crest over the mountains into glacier country for your dog sledding adventure.You'll have great photo opportunities from the air before landing on Punchbowl Glacier, a giant snowfield 3,200 feet above sea level.
On the glacier, the mushers will greet you at the helicopter and introduce you to the friendly Alaskan Huskies. The sled dogs are trained by our partner, Seavey's Ididaride Kennel, owned by Mitch Seavey, a mushing legend and three-time Iditarod Champion. You'll hear interesting facts about the dogs and the mushing lifestyle, how they care for the huskies and train them to pull.
Next, you're on the sled for an exhilarating 2K-to-3K loop on the snow, surrounded by a gorgeous backdrop of glaciers and mountains. Stand on the runners and help drive the sled, or sit back and take in the views. Afterward, you'll have time to hold some of the adorable puppies!
Enjoy a complimentary shuttle from one of our pickup locations in Girdwood. If you're driving, park your vehicle at our hangar at the Girdwood Airport. We ask all Dog Sledding guests to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time. Before taking flight, you'll be outfitted for mushing with waterproof layers and over-boots, and take part in a short safety briefing. Then, you'll be ready to head up to the Glacier Dog Sled Camp. You'll be on the Glacier for about 90 minutes for an informative tour, a sled ride and time with the dogs.
You'll have a great view from every seat to enjoy the incredible scenery. Your professional pilot will provide knowledgeable commentary during your journey. After the completion of your flight, our courtesy van will be waiting for a complimentary transfer to your destination in Girdwood.
When we land on the glacier, the dogs know exactly what it means—it's time to run! They'll be bouncing and barking with joy because it's go-time! On the sled, you'll travel in a 2-to-3-kilometer loop lasting 20-30 minutes, either at a gentle trot or a healthy clip, depending on snow conditions and the kind of experience you want. Tours are suitable for all ages and all travelers—they're even handicap-accessible. We go in all conditions, even rain. It can be cool up on the glacier, so dress in layers, and we can provide waterproof layers and over-boots for you. Also, don't forget your sunglasses, camera or GoPro!
Dog Sledding with Alaskan Huskies is a large part of Alaskan life and history. Alaska's Iditarod Trail started out as a mail and supply route from the towns of Seward and Knik to the interior of Alaska. In the winter of 1925, part of the Iditarod trail was used as a life-saving path to Nome, Alaska, during a great Diptheria epidemic, because only sled dogs could travel to the remote village to deliver Serum. The trail is now known for the famous Iditarod dog sled race, the "Last Great Race on Earth", where dogs, sleds and their mushers race northward from Anchorage to Nome. Each musher with their team of 12-16 dogs endure a journey of 1,150 miles in 8-15 days. More about this amazing race: http://www.iditarod.com.
Max. 12 passengers. We can accommodate larger groups with advance notice (please call).

Spectacular scenery around our charming Colorado town, at the foot of the San Juan Mountains, caught the attention of the director of the film True Grit, starring John Wayne as the one-eyed U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn. In 6 weeks in 1969, the film crew turned 5 blocks of the center of this old railroad town into 1880's Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Old Rio Grande Southern Railroad Depot
The Old Rio Grande Southern Railroad depot is now a private residence located on Railroad Street across from the tennis courts. It starred as the Independence Hotel in How the West Was Won.
Mattie Ross's Ranch House
True Grit begins and ends at the family ranch of young Mattie Ross (Kim Darby), which was filmed at a historic home on Last Dollar Road above Ridgway. In the final scene, John Wayne jumps his horse over a fence and rides off into the distance. The ranch house is very run down but the scenery around it hasn't changed much and is as gorgeous as it was then.
Please respect the boundaries of this private property but by all means, pull over and snap a few photos! To reach the Ranch, leave Ridgway going West on Hwy 62, and drive over Dallas Divide, which is one of the most photographed locations in Colorado! The left turn on Last Dollar Road (58P), approximately 11 miles from Ridgway, is clearly marked. Stay on this good gravel road for 2.5 miles from the turn off and the ranch will be on the right side of the road. In the winter, the road is not maintained beyond this point.

Slaget ved Ümera 1223 også kaldet Andet slag ved Ümera (estisk: Teine Ümera lahing, lettisk: Kauja pie Imeras tilta) foregik 1223 mellem estere og tyskere.

Forløb

I foråret 1223 foretog esterne et større hærgningstogt til egnen omkring Ümera i Letland. Da de erfarede dette, drog en stærk tysk hær straks dertil. De nåede frem netop, som esterne var ved at overskride Ümera å (estisk: Ümera jõgi, lettisk: Jumaras upe) og kom derfor for disse som en overraskelse. Skønt esterne ifølge krøniken "kæmpede meget modigt", vandt tyskerne slaget, drog esterne på flugt og dræbte talrige.

Multimodal Pain Relief Strategy Preferable to Opioids Alone
Jared Kaltwasser
Stavros G. Memtsoudis, MD, PhD
Patients who undergo hip and knee replacements decrease their opioid intake and have fewer opioid-related complications when they are given a multimodal pain relief strategy, according to study data.
Lead author Stavros G. Memtsoudis, MD, PhD, a senior scientist at the Hospital for Special Surgery, in New York, said this study is significant for its breadth and for the clarity of its findings.
"Multimodal approaches have been studied in the past for joint arthroplasty patients, suggesting that this type of practice is associated with better pain control," he told MD Magazine. "These studies are usually small, institutional studies performed at academic centers."
Memtsoudis new population-based study includes data from half a million hip replacement patients and more than 1 million knee replacement patients. The data cover the years 2006 to 2016. The goal was to find out if the benefits of a multimodal pain management approach extended to a reduction in complications and hospital stays. They also aimed to understand whether any particular multimodal analgesia (MMA) method worked best and whether any trends in prescribing could be worked out.
The study divided patients into those who were given opioids alone on the day of surgery and during recovery, versus patients who were given other options in addition to opioids. Those other modes included strategies such as peripheral nerve block, acetaminophen, gabapentin/pregabalin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors or ketamine. The study found that in 85.6% of cases, multimodal strategies were used.
The multimodal approach made a difference.
The data showed that when hip- and knee-replacement patients were given 2 or more pain relief methods, the number of opioid prescriptions they filled fell by 18.5%. Respiratory and gastrointestinal complications fell by 19% and 26%, respectively, for hip-replacement patients. In knee-replacement patients, respiratory complications fell by 6% and gastrointestinal complications dropped by 18%. Meanwhile, the average length of hospital stay dropped by 12% for hip replacements and by 9% for knee replacements.
Memtsoudis said the study wasn't designed to elucidate why the hospital stays might be shorter, but he said there are a few possible reasons, including the reduction in complications.
"However, the use of MMA may also represent a practice which is closely linked with programs whose goal is to accelerate recovery, i.e. enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs," he said. "These practices are known to incorporate new knowledge faster and more systematically and thus MMA may be one of the drivers of reduced [length of stay]."
It's also not clear from the research why particular patients receive a multimodal approach and others did not. But Memtsoudis hopes the study will lead the vast majority of physicians to opt for the multimodal approach as their first strategy for most patients.
"Now that we have linked MMA to better clinical and economic outcomes, the need for wider adoption of MMA becomes an ethical one," he said. "Knowing that this approach may be best for our patients, why don't we use it in everyone (barring contraindications such as allergies and others)?"
Memtsoudis conceded that the transition from medical journals to the clinic is often a slow one, but he hopes this study's insights will have a faster impact, given the specter of the ongoing opioid abuse crisis.
The study, "Association of Multimodal Pain Management Strategies with Perioperative Outcomes and Resource Utilization: A Population-based Study," was published in Anesthesiology.

a game originating in 17th cent. Scotland, in which opposing teams of 12 players each attempt to knock a small ball through their opponent's goal, or hail, using sticks similar to though smaller than those used in field hockey. The game is played outdoors on a field that is 140 to 200 yd (128–183 m) long and 70 to 100 yd (64–91 m) wide. A match is divided into two 45-min halves. It is also called shinny.

Jacinda Ardern, Other Top NZ Officials To Take Pay Cut
Erin SpencerSenior Contributor
I cover the intersection of gender and politics and workplace culture.
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - APRIL 15: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern during the update on the All of ... [+] Government COVID-19 national response, at Parliament on April 15, 2020 in Wellington, New Zealand.
Since the beginning of the novel coronavirus crisis, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has displayed exceptional empathy for her people who, like those all over the world, are treading in uncharted waters as the virus spreads. Today, she shared that in solidarity with those hit by COVID-19, she and other top ministers and chief executives will be taking a 20% pay cut for the next six months.
In New Zealand, nonessential businesses and schools have been closed for almost a month in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. It is expected that the national lockdown may be extended in the coming week, leading to more lost wages and joblessness for New Zealanders.
"We acknowledge New Zealanders who are reliant on wage subsidies, taking pay cuts, and losing their jobs as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic," said Ardern in a press conference. "While it in itself won't shift the government's overall fiscal position, it is about leadership," she explained to reporters.
The news comes after a further 20 New Zealanders were diagnosed with COVID-19 overnight bringing the total of confirmed and probable cases to 1,386 with nine deaths recorded.

The cut will decrease Ardern's annual salary from approximately NZ$470,000 to NZ$376,000. Over six months, that pay cut comes out to NZ$45,000 or roughly $27,000 USD.
"If there were ever a time to close the gap between groups of people across New Zealand in different positions, it is now," said Ardern.
Alongside Ardern in taking the 20% salary cut is opposition leader Simon Bridges, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, all 25 cabinet ministers and 34 key public service chief executives such as the Ministry of Health's Director-General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield who's led the elimination response to the crisis and is busier than ever. Ardern did confirm that frontline staff like doctors and nurses will not face any pay cuts.
Already, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, whose take home pay is greater than that of his New Zealand colleague, has dismissed the idea of a pay cut for government ministers in Australia. "We've already said there won't be any pay rises right across the public service and this is not something that's currently before us … it's not something that's being considered," said Morrison in a radio interview.

Drew Mansion
Overlooking Klutho Park, the Drew Mansion sits on a prominent corner in Jacksonville, Florida. The eclectic residence was built in 1909 by Dr. Horace R. Drew, a renowned physician, and grandson of Jacksonville pioneer, Columbus Drew.
The Drew Mansion features a mix of design styles from the early 20th century; including Tudor Revival, Queen Anne, and Spanish Colonial Revival. The house was built using two different stones. The majority of the house is a smooth concrete block, while the front hexagonal porch was built with Ashlar stone. Several unique features of the Drew Mansion include the third-story porch, and also a rear second-story "crying porch", where a mother could take a crying infant in the middle of the night, to not disturb her husband.
Dr. Horace Drew, along with his brothers, owned a successful printing business, H. & W.B. Drew Company, once located in downtown Jacksonville on West Bay Street. Dr. Drew would remain the Company President until his death in 1926. Throughout the 20th century, the printing business would remain in the family, eventually garnering the distinction as the "oldest family business" in Jacksonville. The H. & W.B. Drew Company provided engraved office stationery to businesses across the country. In 1997, Wells Legal Supply Inc. acquired the company and formed the Wells & Drew Companies.
Over the years, flooding of nearby Hogans Creek has caused the foundation of the Drew Mansion to sink. The floors have slanted several inches causing severe structural issues. By 2012, the Jacksonville Historical Society listed the Drew Mansion as one of the most in-danger historic structures. City Code Enforcement began citing the property in 2011 $250.00 per day for the overgrown yard amongst other violations. The fines continue to mount today, at a total of over $450,000.
During the early 1900s, Horace Drew converted his third-floor attic into a billiards room. He would play pool here with Oliver Hardy during Jacksonville's days as a silent film capital. The last owner moved out in the early 2000s, leaving the home abandoned. The nearby neighbors began keeping watch over the house after vandals broke in and tore out the copper plumbing. In the last couple of years, members of the local historical society have secured the home in hopes of slowing down the decay process. However, years of neglect have left the roof in disrepair causing severe water damage.
The Drew Mansion was purchased in 2015, by a local construction firm for $40,000. The company proposed an $800,000 renovation project and planned to use the home as a model to promote the local historic Springfield neighborhood.

This system was developed independently by NGO Monitor, and presents all contributions reported by Israeli NGOs that claim to advance human rights and are politically active in the Arab-Israeli conflict. It provides decision makers, journalists, and the Israeli public with NGO funding data – both governmental and private – in an accessible and user-friendly manner.
All of the details on the grants were taken directly from publicly available submissions to the Israeli Registrar of Non-Profits (Rasham Amutot, a department of the Ministry of Justice), and no changes were made to the sums. In order to create an accessible and understandable database, NGO Monitor corrected typos and other spelling mistakes, and adjusted some entries to establish uniformity in naming conventions.
The system allows users to sort the data (step 1) and create funding charts and graphs (step 2). In other words, you can choose what information you want to see and how you want to see it.
Line charts use Year for the horizontal (x) axis, and Grant Amount for the vertical (y) axis How many lines?

5th Worldwide Uchinanchu Festival parade


The Ausf G appeared in 1940 and all but the earliest examples were equipped with the 50mm KwK L/42. The turret had a new commander's cupola with narrow twin covers over each of its five vision ports that could be operated independently. The Ausf G was also fitted with a new driver's visor with a single hinged shutter to offer better protection against bullet splash. Total Ausf G production was 450.
The Ausf H saw the introduction of major changes to the suspension system. The track width was increased from 360mm to 400mm and the front return roller each side was moved further forward to give better support to the heavier track. Also fitted were new sprocket wheels with six apertures instead of eight circular holes, and new spoked idler wheels. Existing stocks of the old sprockets and idlers were also used in conjunction with spacer rings.
Experience in battle resulted in a demand to increase the relatively thin armour of the PzKpfw III. Ausf H vehicles leaving the production lines in 1941 were therefore fitted with additional 30mm armour plates bolted to the front faces of the hull and superstructure.
The Ausf J represents a major point in the development history of the PzKpfw III with its heavier armour and, in the second production run, its more powerful armament. In its complete form it was superior to any tank available to the Western Allies and in the Western Desert it was known to the British as the 'Mark 3 Special' or 'J Special'. However, as the Ausf J went into production the German Army advanced into Russia and there met the superior T-34 with its 76.2mm gun and sloped armour.
When the Ausf J appeared in 1941 its basic armour was 50mm thick, causing an increase in the total weight of the vehicle. Ground pressure was kept low by the wider tracks of the Ausf H while the Ausf J was kept in balance by increasing the rear armour as well as the frontal plates. The torsion bars were strengthened because of this increased load.
With the thicker armour the driver's vision slot was changed to a Fahrersehklappe 50, and a new ball mounting was introduced for the hull machine-gun, known as a Kugelblende 50. The hull itself was simplified with the towing lugs now formed from extensions of the hull side armour. Single forward-opening maintenance/escape hatches replaced the double-flap types fitted in the glacis plate.
From late 1941 the longer-barrelled 50mm KwK L/60 began to be fitted to Ausf J vehicles, though the L/42 was still fitted in some until about February 1942. Late production models had the right front and side vision slots on the turret omitted. Earlier models that were returned to Germany for refit were rearmed with the longer gun.
New entry. This is a wreck and consists of the lower half of the chassis of a PzKpfw III. It is missing its turret, the top of the hull, its tracks and many other parts. Its gun is displayed on a mounting above the hull. It has single hatches in the glacis indicating that it is at least an Ausf J.
The Ausf L came off the assembly lines from the end of 1941 until mid-1942 and had serial numbers between 74101 and 76000. The fighting compartment was protected by a 20mm thick armour plate fixed 100mm in front of the driver's plate, and provision was also made for the fitting of a similar plate in front of the gun mantlet. Many of the early production vehicles, however, went into battle without this additional mantlet plate. The Ausf L saw the introduction of new one-piece engine inspection hatches on the rear decks, with their rectangular air intakes arranged parallel to the hull sides rather than running across the hatches.
All but the earliest Ausf Ls had the loader's vision port in the mantlet and the ports in the turret sides deleted. An Ausf L with chassis number 74375, now at the Bovington Tank Museum, was examined by British Intelligence and noted to still have hull escape hatches. However, an Ausf L with serial number 74400 had these omitted, as did all later examples. Many Ausf L's were specially prepared for operations in dusty and desert conditions and these were designated Ausf L (Tp), where 'Tp' indicates tropisch (tropical). The first Ausf L with spaced armour was captured in North Africa in mid-July 1942, though these tanks had already seen use in most of the major tank battles fought in Russia and North Africa that year.
This is an early production Ausf L, modified for 'tropical' use. It arrived in Benghazi on 18 July 1942. It arrived at the front between 28 and 31 July 1942. It was put on the museum books in 1951. It has been repainted in its original colouring and markings. It took part in Tankfests 2009 and 2011.
The Ausf M (which had chassis numbers 76101-77800) was an improvement on the Ausf L but differed only in details. The most significant development was the introduction of facilities to allow deep wading to at least 1.3m, including a new type of exhaust silencer mounted high up on the upper tail plate. The headlights were of a new pattern and were detachable, and they were now mounted high up on the front mudguards instead of on the glacis plate. The smoke dispensers that were previously fitted beneath the upper tail plate were replaced by smoke grenade dischargers on the turret sides. In 1942 one hundred Ausf M vehicles were converted to Flammpanzer III flame-throwing tanks (see page 6).
As early as July 1942 Hitler had ordered that 75mm L/24 guns should be fitted in the PzKpfw III and a proportion of the Ausf L production appears to have been allocated for this purpose. By late 1942, 75mm armed Ausf L's were in action as support tanks for Tiger tank companies under the designation Ausf N. Such units operated with the Tiger company sent to Tunisia in early 1943. Tanks returned to workshops for major overhaul were also similarly modified, the 75mm guns used being those that had been removed from the early models of the Panzerkampfwagen IV.
The Ausf N was also manufactured as an official model and was the final version of the PzKpfw III. It remained in production in small numbers until 1943 and was exclusively armed with the 75mm KwK L/24. During this series, facilities were gradually changed over to production of the Sturmgeschütz III assault gun. The Ausf N was essentially similar to the Ausf M though the final drive and steering brake hatches were now completely removable when unlocked from the inside as they were no longer hinged. The split hatches of the commander's cupola were replaced by a single piece hatch as used on the PzKpfw IV Ausf G. No vehicles armed with the 75mm KwK had spaced armour fitted on the mantlet. Final models of the Ausf N received extra protection in the form of Schürzen (apron) armour - 5mm spaced armour around the turret and 8mm plates hung from the sides of the hull. They were also coated with Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste.
This Ausf N was manufactured in 1942 by MNH of Hannover. It was issued to sPzAbt 501, the same battalion as the Museum's Tiger I, and shipped to Bizerte, Tunisia, in January 1943. This unit became Abteilung 3 of 7th Panzer Regiment, part of 10th Panzer Division, on 26 February 1943. The tactical number '832' was painted on the turret at this time. 10th PzDiv took part in the attack towards Medenine on 6 March 1943 and continued to use small numbers of tanks until its surrender on 11 May 1943, so this tank must have been captured between these dates. It was cut open for display while at Shrivenham. It shows signs of having been fitted with Schürzen side skirts, but did not have them at the time of capture. It is missing both tracks.
This Ausf N was recovered from a military range in Norway, the exact location is unconfirmed (the location Wrack is likely to be a mis-translation of the German word for wreck).
Other Identification: "222" originally painted on rear of turret stowage box (currently has "832" painted on turret sides but this is not authentic).
This tank was part of 'Minenkommando Dänemark' (source: F. von Forhud). It is currently stored away from the museum.

Curbside pick-up and drive thru liquor returns to Dickinson
The Ponderosa Liquor & Wildlife Gallery's liquor sign is pictured. As of Tuesday, Nov. 3, liquor retailers and establishments with existing drive-thru windows are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages within the city after the Dickinson City Commission approved a moratorium at its scheduled public meeting. (Jackie Jahfetson/The Dickinson Press)
By Jackie Jahfetson
The Dickinson City Commission once again approved a moratorium on select city alcohol ordinances in a meeting on election day that permits liquor retailers to sell alcoholic beverages via curbside pick-up and drive-thru services throughout the city of Dickinson as part of economic relief measures.
The passage comes as a result of Stark County remaining one of 16 counties in the state elevated from "Yellow" (moderate risk) to "Orange" (high risk) on the state's coronavirus alert system last month.
In a 5-0 vote, commissioners unanimously approved the moratorium after a motion was made by Commissioner Nicole Wolla and seconded by Commissioner John Odermann.
Dickinson City Attorney Christina Wenko addressed the vote saying that the move was important as a way to allow for "extra flexibility for retailers." Wenko did confirm that the moratorium this time, unlike the previous iteration, would be tied to the threat level of the state.
City Commissioner Suzi Sobolik asked the question if the commission needs to call off the moratorium if the county returned to the green or blue levels on the state coronavirus alert system.
Wenko provided details as to how the process would work.
"It will remain in effect as long as the Stark County threat level is orange or higher. It will automatically cease if and when the threat level returns to yellow," Wenko said. "If the threat level does return to yellow [and] then goes back to orange, it will once again be effective. In essence, it fluctuates with the Stark County's threat level."
Wenko remarked at the meeting that approving the moratorium as written is a way to avoid bringing the topic before the commission with each change in the threat level — noting while in yellow in store sales are still allowable, but when the city goes into the orange and red levels that's when restrictions will have to be put in place on businesses and restaurants.
"I don't believe that the lower threat levels are going to affect this. So we are more concerned about when they're starting to limit and shut down restaurants and the ability for retailers to have individuals coming into their establishments," Wenko clarified the city's position.
For licensed restaurants within the city that are also licensed for on-sale serving of alcoholic beverages, the sale of sealed cans or bottles of alcoholic beverages, which includes "sealed growlers to customers taking delivery of prepared food or meals from the restaurant on a 'take-out', 'curbside delivery', 'drive-through' or employees of said restaurant or by other lawful means of delivery shall be deemed to be 'on-sale' service or sale of such beverages,'" according to a city agenda document. Drive-thru sales entail Dickinson liquor stores that have existing drive-thru windows.
"This moratorium will terminate in its entirety when the State of North Dakota no longer assigns threat levels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board of City Commissioners reserve the right to terminate or extend this Resolution by resolution or motion," the city agenda document states.
1/2: City commissioners voted unanimously to approve the two-year contract, at $282,000, for city attorney and municipal prosecution services submitted by the Mackoff-Kellog law firm, with Christina Wenko acting as the principal attorney in both the city attorney and city prosecutor roles.
