22 How. 1
JOEL PARKER, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR,
ALONZO L. KANE.
December Term, 1859
THIS was a writ of error to the District Court of the United States for the district of Wisconsin.
The plaintiff in error commenced an action of ejectment to recover an undivided moiety of land in Milwaukee county, included in the fractional section twenty-one, in township seven north, of range twenty-two east. This fractional quarter contains one hundred and twenty-nine acres, and lies east of Milwaukee river. It is subdivided into three lots. The northern portion is called lot number one. The southern half of the quarter is divided into the east half of the south half of the quarter, which is also designated as lot number six, and the southwest quarter of the northeast fractional quarter of the section. A patent for this land issued to William E. Dunbar, in August, 1837, by the description of lot number one, and the south half of the northeast quarter of section twenty-one, in township seven north, of range twenty-two east, in the district of land subject to sale at Green Bay. It appears from the case that Richard Montague was equally interested with Dunbar in the entry of this parcel of land at the land office; and in the spring of 1836, Dunbar executed to him a deed for the undivided half of the fractional quarter, which he did not place on the records of the county. Subsequently, under a contract between Dunbar and Montague, the interest of the latter was reduced to one-fourth of the fractional quarter, and thereupon Montague surrendered his first deed, and received one in December, 1837, for one equal undivided fourth part of the following described parcel or tract of land, viz: lots one (1) and six, (6,) being that part of the northeast quarter lying east of the Milwaukee river, in section number twenty-one, in township number seven (7) north, of range twenty-two (22) east of the fourth principal meridian, in Milwaukee county. This undivided interest was claimed through mesne conveyances by the plaintiff in this suit, and it became a question whether, upon a construction of this deed, a fourth part of the entire fractional quarter passed, or only a fourth part of the parcels, lots one and six.
The plaintiff, in addition to the right of Montague, also acquired a title to a fourth part of the fractional quarter, from assigns of Dunbar; so that his title to an undivided moiety of lots one and six, and to an undivided fourth part of the remainder of the fractional quarter, being the southwest quarter of the fraction, was not disputed. After the death of Dunbar, the undivided half of the entire fraction, and an additional fourth of the southwest quarter of the traction, vested in persons with whom the defendant was connected. The only controversy at this stage of the transaction was for the one-fourth part of the southwest quarter of the section, arising out of the ambiguous description in the deed of Dunbar to Montague, and the sale by the guardian of the children of Dunbar of the fourth part which was claimed by Montague and his assigns in that portion of the fraction. In 1850, the claimants of three-eighths of the parcels one and six, filed a bill in the Circuit Court of Milwaukee county for a partition against the known and unknown owners of the remaining interests, the plaintiff in this suit being made a party. Publication was made of the proceeding, and the owners appeared to the bill. The plaintiff, Parker, answered, claiming to have one-half. In June, 1851, an order of the court describes the interest of the respective parties, and that of the plaintiff (Parker) is recognised. On the same day, a report of the clerk, that the greater part of the land was so situated as to be susceptible of division, but that the water power on the Milwaukee river could not be divided, and that ten acres, or whatever was necessary to the water power, should be sold, was submitted to the court. This report was made pursuant to an order of the court previously made. Three commissioners were appointed to make the partition. The proceedings were continued until April, 1854, when the commissioners made their report. In this report, thirty-seven and four hundred and ninety-seven thousandths acres were allotted by metes and bounds to the plaintiff, 'the same being, quality and quantity relatively considered, one full equal one-half part of the said lands, except the portion set apart to be sold in connection of the water power on and appurtenant to the land. There were two and thirty-six hundredths acres in this parcel. This report was confirmed in April, 1854; and the several parcels vested in the several allottees, to be had, held, and enjoyed, by them and their heirs. In May, 1854, the plaintiff, upon affidavits filed, moved to set aside the order of confirmation:
1. Because the commissioners appointed herein have not designated the several shares and portions of the different parties, by posts, stones, or other permanent monument.
2. Because their report does not describe the lands divided and the shares allotted with sufficient certainty.
3. Because said commissioners have not divided the real estate in their report mentioned, allotting to the respective parties herein the several portions, quality and quantity respectively considered, according to the respective rights and interest of the parties, as adjudged and decreed by this court, but that said division is manifestly unfair, and against the rights of the defendant.
4. Because, by said division, this defendant does not receive, either in quantity, quality, or value, one-half of the lands divided by said commissioners, but receives less than one-half of said land.
The adverse parties also filed affidavits. The surveyor was required to remove the first objection by placing the monuments prescribed by the statute; and in January, 1855, the report was again ratified and confirmed, and the partition decreed to be valid. From this decree an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and that court affirmed the decree, and remanded the cause, with directions to establish posts and monuments according to the partition made.
The parties who filed the bill for partition of the lots one and six, filed another bill for the partition of the southwest quarter of the fractional quarter section. To this bill, the plaintiff, Parker, was also made a party, and filed an answer. This suit has not been brought to a conclusion. But about the time of filing his answers in the two cases, the plaintiff himself filed a bill disclosing the circumstances in which Montague had become interested in the entire fractional quarter; the surrender of his first deed, and the execution of the second; the ambiguous description of the property in that second deed, and the justice of his claim to an interest in the fourth part of the entire quarter under it. He insisted that he had a good title, either in law or in equity, to this fourth part. To this bill the heirs and representatives of Dunbar were parties, as well as the purchasers of the three-fourths part of that parcel of the quarter section.
The prayer of the bill was, that the heirs and purchasers of the estate of the heirs might be compelled to convey an undivided fourth of that quarter to him, and, if necessary, that the deed of Dunbar to Montague and the mesne conveyances might be corrected according to the right of the parties. But in case that the claimants had a good title, then that he might have a decree for the money paid by them to the representatives of Dunbar. He prayed that the partition suit be connected with his suit, and that they might be heard together.
The several defendants answered the bill, and upon a hearing in the Circuit Court it was dismissed. In the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, an appeal from the claim of the plaintiff to relief against one of the purchasers who had failed to plead the statute of limitations, and had notice, was recognised; also his claim to the money paid to the heirs of Dunbar for the undivided fourth of the land in dispute. The decree of the Circuit Court was affirmed as to those who had pleaded the bona fides of their purchase and the act of limitations.
The suit in the District Court of the United States proceeds upon the assumption that the plaintiff is not concluded by either of these decrees. That the partition made of lots one and six was illegal, because the formalities prescribed by the statute were not complied with. That the purchasers at the sale of the estate of the minor heirs of Dunbar acquired no title from that sale, because the heirs were not represented in the proceedings by a guardian, and were minors. But if they acquired any title, they took it subject to the rights and claims of the plaintiff, and those under whom he claims, whether such purchasers at the guardian's sale had notice or not. The plaintiff contended that, upon a fair construction of the lost deed to Montague, an interest equal to one-fourth of the fraction passed; but if that were not the case, that he was entitled to hold under the deed executed by Dunbar, in 1836, to Montague. That the destruction of this deed did not defeat the title of Montague under it, or revest the title in Dunbar. Appropriate prayers for instructions were made and refused in the District Court, and exceptions were duly taken. The jury were instructed that the plaintiff, Parker, was a party to the partition suit in Milwaukee county, and that the decree in that suit was conclusive, and that the decree in the case of Parker v. Kane and others, in equity, bound this suit to the extent of that decree.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
It was argued in this court by Mr. Gittings and Mr. Machen for the plaintiff in error, and Mr. Brown for the defendant.
The brief filed on behalf of the plaintiff in error was very voluminous. The argument upon one point only can be given.
6. The bill in equity prosecuted by the plaintiff against Tweedy, Kane, Montague, and others, furnishes no bar to this suit. That was a bill to obtain a reformation of the second deed from Dunbar to Montague, and of the deed from Montague to Fisk, in order that those deeds should so describe the land as to relieve the case from further controversy.
The plaintiff filed that bill in the Milwaukee Circuit Court, January 10th, 1851, against the heirs of Dunbar and their guardian, and the purchasers, Kane, Brown, and Tweedy, and against Montague, to have certain mistakes in the deeds corrected. The bill set forth the agreement in 1835 between Dunbar and Montague, that Montague should furnish money to purchase the quarter section, and that they should own the land together as tenants in common. That Montague did advance the money, and Dunbar did purchase the land. It set forth deed of 1836, conveying one-half of the land, the sale by Montague of one-fourth to Dunbar, the agreement to deliver up the deed of 1836, and to take a deed of one-fourth of the tract described in it; that Dunbar executed what was understood and intended to be a deed of one-fourth of all said land; that, in drawing this deed, there was a mistake in not inserting and conveying an undivided fourth of said southwest quarter, of said northeast quarter, and, if an undivided one-fourth of said southwest quarter of said northeast quarter did not pass by that deed to Montague, he had by virtue of said prior deed the legal title thereto, and, by virtue of such subsequent agreement, the equitable title thereto, when said last deed was delivered and recorded. The bill then set out the conveyance by Montague to Chapin, in 1838, of one-sixteenth, by a warranty deed, and by a description which embraced the whole quarter section, and a conveyance by Chapin to the plaintiff of that one-sixteenth, May 18, 1841.
It then set forth, that Montague, October 27, 1842, conveyed to Fisk three-sixteenths of lots one and six, (giving the same description as is given in Dunbar's last deed to Montague;) that Fisk purchased, and Montague intended to convey, and it was understood between them that the deed did convey, three-sixteenths of the whole quarter; and that if it did not, there was a mistake in the deed.
It then set out a conveyance through the heirs of Fisk to plaintiff, of all their right and interest, and thereupon averred that the plaintiff had the title, either legal or equitable, to one undivided fourth part of the west half of the southwest quarter of said northeast quarter, under and by virtue of the conveyances aforesaid, and of the agreements therein set forth.
The bill then set forth the death of Dunbar in 1846; that the guardian of his infant heirs had sold to C. J. Kane an undivided fourth of said west half, being the precise fourth which the plaintiff claimed; and that Kane bid it off, and conveyed to Tweedy, Brown, and Becman. It alleged notice to them, &c., and prayed that Montague and the heirs and purchasers under Dunbar might be compelled to convey one-fourth part of the southwest quarter to the plaintiff, and if necessary, that the deeds, Dunbar to Montague, and Montague to Fisk, might be corrected so as to conform to the understanding, intention, and agreement, between the parties; and he prayed for all general and equitable relief in the premises.
But a small part of the answers is material to the present question. Montague admitted the statements of the bill, and set forth, that since the commencement of the suit, he had executed a quit-claim deed to the plaintiff.
Tweedy made a statement of facts, from which it appeared that he had notice. Kane denied notice, and, alleging that the mistake, if any, in the deed Dunbar to Montague, was made more than ten years before the suit, claimed the benefit of the statute of limitations. Waldo (made a defendant on the death of Becman) did the same.
Upon a hearing, the Circuit Court entered a decree, which it was not competent for the court to make, because the matter in question was only, whether the plaintiff was entitled to have the deed of 1837 corrected. Even supposing that the deed does, as the plaintiff contends, in fact, convey one full quarter of the section, it does not convey it in the terms which should have been used. The description of the premises should have been precisely like that in the first deed, except the substitution of one-fourth part for one-half, and then there would have been no further controversy. The plaintiff, in his bill, sedulously excluded any admission that he had not a legal title. He alleged that he was remediless at law respecting the subject matter of the bill, to wit: respecting the mistake. The plaintiff never proposed to try his legal title in a bill in equity, and no attempt was made to sustain the bill on that title.
There was no claim set up under the deed of 1836 as an instrument of conveyance; but it was referred to, to show the equity. The decree filed in the Circuit Court of Milwaukee is a legal curiosity, the credit for which is perhaps due to the defendant's counsel. The plaintiff brought his bill to have a mistake in a deed from Dunbar to Montague corrected. The decree assumes, in the first place, to find that certain of the defendants are bona fide purchasers without notice of the plaintiff's equities, and therefore it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed, that a deed from Dunbar to Montague, the description of which, by the way, does not agree with any deed in the case, is held and declared to be inoperative and ineffectual to affect the rights of said defendants, as such purchasers; then that those defendants, as such purchasers, have acquired a good and perfect title as against the complainant; and not only so, but against all others claiming or to claim by, through, or under said deed, to the land in dispute; and then the decree undertakes to settle and establish the proportions in which the defendants own the land as between themselves.
Why it did not proceed to order that the plaintiff, and all others claiming or to claim anything against the defendants, should deliver up their deeds to be concelled, and be forever estopped to prosecute any other suit, does not distinctly appear. That might, it is submitted, have been ordered with equal propriety. In the conclusion, it does the only thing it was proper for the court to do, if the suit was not maintained; that is, it dismisses the plaintiff's bill.
In determining the effect of the suit, the court and decree will look to the whole record, and not merely to what the counsel have caused to be filed as a decree.

See Mondel v. Steel, 8 M. and W., 858, 872.
In fact, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin understood the bill to be for a reformation of the deed only. In the opinion, it is said, 'the cause, or matter of complaint, to relieve him from which the complainant filed his bill in this cause, originated in a mistake committed in the descriptive part of a deed executed on the 18th day of December, 1837,' &c.; and then it is said that the cause for such a bill had occurred and was complete upon the delivery of the defective deed.
The decree of the Supreme Court affirmed the decree of the court below as to Kane, Waldo, and Brown, and reversed it as to all the rest, by which the court doubtless meant to affirm the decree so far only as it determined the matters in issue. Brown had disclaimed, and his disclaimer was not controverted. Kane and Waldo had insisted upon the statute of limitations of ten years, applicable to remedies for mistakes; and the decree of the court below and the court above gave them the benefit of it. A decree was entered against Tweedy, because he had not pleaded the statute.
The plaintiff submits therefore that the plaintiff's equitable title to have relief, on account of the mistake in the second deed, Dunbar to Montague, and the deed, Montague to Fisk, were the only matters in issue in that suit; and that he failed to sustain his suit against Kane and Waldo, only upon the ground, that that remedy was barred by the statute. This furnishes no bar to any other remedy which he seeks, and no decree which the court could enter would bar the present suit.

Upon this point, the argument of Mr. Brown was as follows:
Point Third. A bill for the partition of the southwest forty acres was also filed, in which Kane and Parker were parties.
For the purpose of enabling the court properly to adjudicate upon the interests of the parties, and of establishing his rights to the ten acres in question in this ejectment suit, Parker filed his bill in chancery, in the nature of a cross-bill, setting forth, substantially, the same facts upon which he here seeks to recover.
To this bill, Kane and others filed answers; and a decree was entered, confirming the title of Kane, under the deed of the guardian, and also disaffirming every right of Parker under the alleged deed from Dunbar.
From this decree, the plaintiff in this suit (Parker) appealed to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin; and by them the decree of the court below was affirmed as to Kane, and the whole matter was thereby disposed of.

Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff sued in ejectment to recover certain parcels of land included in the northeast fractional quarter of section twenty-one, in township seven north, of range twenty-two east, in the district of lands subject to sale at Green Bay, and are situated in the city of Milwaukee.
The fractional quarter is subdivided into three lots. Lot number one is north of a line running east and west, that bisects the quarter section; lot number six corresponds to the southeast quarter of the quarter section; and the third lot is a tract of forty acres, and is known as the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of the section, township, and range, above mentioned.
A patent issued to William E. Dunbar for this fractional quarter, in 1837, from the United States, in which the land is described as 'the lot number one, and south half of the northeast quarter of section twenty-one, in township number seven north, of range twenty-two east, of the district of lands,' &c. In the same year, Dunbar and wife conveyed to Richard Montague 'one equal undivided fourth part of the following described parcel or tract of land, viz: Lots one (1) and six, (6,) being that part of the northeast quarter lying east of the Milwaukee river, in section number twenty-one, in township number seven (7) north, of range twenty-two east,' &c.
The plaintiff, upon the trial of the cause in the District Court, connected himself with this deed (which was duly recorded) by legal conveyances. Besides the title under this deed, he exhibited a title from Dunbar and wife to an undivided fourth of the whole fraction; all of which lies east of Milwaukee river. That the plaintiff had at one time a title to an undivided half of lots one and six, was not disputed; but his claim to an undivided fourth of the southwest quarter of the fraction, under the deed of Dunbar to Montague, was a matter of controversy.
The defendant connected himself with the patent of Dunbar, by showing a sale by the administrator of his estate, under the authority of the Court of Probate of Milwaukee, of an undivided one-half of the entire fractional quarter patented to him, and a sale and conveyance by the guardian of the heirs of Dunbar of an undivided fourth part of the southwest quarter of the fraction, under a decree of the Circuit Court of Milwaukee, sitting in chancery, and a purchase by persons under whom he claims.
The defendant, to repel the claim of the plaintiff to any interest in the land possessed by him in lots numbers one and six, produced the record of proceedings and decrees in the Circuit Court of Milwaukee county, in chancery, for the partition of those lots among the plaintiff and his co-tenants, with the latter of whom the defendant is a privy in estate. This record shows that a petition was made by the co-tenants of the plaintiff for a partition of these lots, according to their rights and interests. The plaintiff was made a party, appeared and answered, and there was a decretal order for a partition Commissioners were appointed to divide the lots, who made a report to the court that appointed them. That the plaintiff made objections to the proceedings, was overruled, and afterwards appealed to the Supreme Court. That the Supreme Court revised the proceedings of the Circuit Court, and affirmed its decree in the most important particulars, and gave some directions, which, being fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Circuit Court, a final order of confirmation, and to vest the title in the parties to their several allotments, was made.
The plaintiff objects to these proceedings:
1. That there was no authority to make a several partition between the complainants. 2. There was no authority to make a partition, subjecting the land set off as his share to an easement. 3. There was no authority to make a partition by a plat, without the establishment of permanent monuments. 4. There was no reference to a proper person to inquire into the situation of the premises, after the decree settling the rights of the parties. 5. The commissioners had no power to set apart and designate any portion of the land for sale, as they undertook to do. 6. The court did not ascertain and distinctly declare whether any part or what part should be sold; but its language was hypothetical and uncertain. All the subsequent proceedings must fall, for want of the foundation of such a decree. 7. It does not appear that all the commissioners met together, in the performance of their several duties, as required by the statute.
The statutes of Wisconsin provide for the partition of estates held in common, by a bill in equity, filed in the Circuit Court of the county in which the land is, and for a sale of the premises when a partition would be prejudicial to the owners. The court upon the hearing may determine and declare the rights, titles, and interests, of the parties to the proceedings, and order a partition. It may appoint commissioners to execute the decree, who are required to make an ample report of their proceedings to the court, in which it can be confirmed or set aside. When a partition is completed, the court may enter a decree; and thereupon the partition is declared to be 'firm and effectual forever,' and 'to bind and conclude' all the parties named therein.
The decrees are subject to the revising power of the Supreme Court. In reference to the objections made by the plaintiff, it is sufficient to say that some of them were made in the courts of Wisconsin without effect, and all might have been urged there at a proper stage in the proceedings. Kane v. Parker, 4 Wis., 123.
That it sufficiently appears that the subject was within the jurisdiction of those courts, and the proper parties were before them; and this court, conformably to their established doctrine, acknowledge the validity and binding operation of these orders and decrees, and determine that this court cannot inquire whether errors or irregularities exist in them in this collateral action. Thompson v. Tolmie, 2 Pet., 157; Grignon v. Astor, 2 How., 319; Beauregard v. New Orleans, 18 How., 497.
At the time that the partition of lots numbers one and six was sought for, a petition was filed in the same court by the same parties for a partition of the southwest quarter of the fractional quarter section described in Dunbar's patent. The plaintiff had an acknowledged interest in that parcel, independently of his claim under Montague, and was made a party to that suit.
In his answer to the petition he refers to this claim under Montague, and the mesne conveyances that connect him with the deed of Dunbar to Montague. He stated, that, it being uncertain whether that deed of Dunbar would be sustained as sufficient by the court to convey a legal title to a fourth part of that parcel, he designed to file a bill in equity, for the purpose of having his title ascertained, and to have his conveyances reformed, if need be, so that his claim under that deed could be established and confirmed. In the same month he filed in the same court a bill in equity against the heirs of Dunbar and their guardian, and the purchasers under the decrees, obtained by the administrator and guardian, for the sale of the parcels in the fractional quarter described in Dunbar's patent.
He charges in this bill that Montague was equally interested with Dunbar, at the date of his entry in the land office, in the entire fraction, and furnished the money for the purpose of making it; that Dunbar gave to Montague a deed for one-half, according to the description in the certificate of purchase from the register of the land office. That by a subsequent contract his interest was reduced to one-fourth. That his first deed not being recorded, he surrendered it to Dunbar, who destroyed it. That the deed for the fourth part was made to fulfil the agreement for title to a fourth of the whole fraction; and that Dunbar represented this deed to be sufficient, and during his life acknowledged that it was sufficient, and that Montague was a joint and equal owner with him.
He avers that these facts constitute him the owner of one-fourth of the entire fraction, either at law or in equity. He refers to the sales of a larger interest than they really owned, by the heirs of Dunbar, through their guardian, and to the pendency of the suits of partition. He prays that the court will require the defendants in the bill to release their title to the interest embraced in his claim, and that his conveyances may be reformed, if need be, to express his legal and equitable rights; but if the court should decide that the guardian of the children of Dunbar had conveyed a good and valid title as against him, he prayed for a personal decree for the proceeds of his sale. He also prayed that this suit might be heard with the partition suit of the claimants under Dunbar's administrator and the guardian of his children, and for all general and equitable relief.
The purchasers asserted in their answers the superiority of their legal and equitable title, and pleaded that they were bona fide purchasers, and all, except one, also pleaded the statute of limitations. The guardian answered, that he had made the sale in good faith, under a valid decree, and under the belief that his wards were entitled to the estate.
The Circuit Court, upon the pleadings and proofs, dismissed the bill of the plaintiff, and declared in the decree that the defendants had a valid title as bona fide purchasers, not affected by the registered deed from Dunbar to Montague.
From this decree the plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court. That court affirmed the decree of the Circuit Court as to all the purchasers, except one. They say the plaintiff is not entitled to relief under the first deed of Dunbar to Montague, which had been destroyed; for, admitting that the destruction of the deed did not disturb the title, nevertheless, in view of the statute of frauds, and the rule of evidence that statute established, a grantee in a deed, who had voluntarily, and without fraud or mistake, destroyed his deed, could not establish his title. One of the purchasers, who had notice of the plaintiff's claim, and had failed to plead the statute of limitations, was decreed to release his title to the plaintiff, and the guardian was required to account to him for the price he had received. Parker v. Kane, 4 Wis., 1. The defendant is a privy in estate with the successful litigants in this cause, and relies upon the decree as a bar.
We have seen that the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Milwaukee, under the statute of Wisconsin, in matters of partition, extends to the ascertainment and determination of the rights of the parties in matters of partition, and that its decree is final and effectual for their adjustment. That court is also clothed with power, at the suit of a person having a legal title and possession, to call any claimant before it, to quiet a disputed title. Rev. Stat. Wis., 573, sec. 20; 417, sec. 34.
The bill seems to have been framed on the distinct and declared purpose of obtaining from the courts of Wisconsin an authoritative declaration of the legal as well as equitable rights of these parties under their conflicting titles, with a view to the partition of the entire fractional quarter section, suits for which were then pending; and the prayer of the bill, that if the conveyance of the guardian 'passed a good and valid title against the plaintiff,' that then he might be indemnified by a decree for the proceeds of the sale in the hands of the guardian, submitted the legal as well as the equitable relations of the parties, under their respective titles, to the judgment of the court.
The reversal of the decree of the Circuit Court by the Supreme Court, and their decision that the guardian should account for the proceeds of the sale in his hands, is a direct response to this prayer, and implies that the recorded deed of Dunbar to Montague did not convey a legal title to this fraction. We question whether the voluntary dismissal of the bill, as to Martineau, the guardian, subsequently to its return in the Circuit Court, will qualify this decree, or limit its effect as res judicata of the legal right. 30 Miss. R., 66; 2 Free Ch. R., 158; 9 Simon R., 411; Eng. Orders in Ch., 1845, n. 117.
In Great Britain, a Chancellor might have considered this as a case in which to take the opinion of a court of law, or to stay proceedings in the partition and cross-suits until an action of law had been tried, to determine the legal title. Rochester v. Lee, 1 McN. and G., 467; Clapp v. Bronagham, 9 Cow., 530. But such a proceeding could not be expected in a State where the powers of the courts of law and equity are exercised by the same persons. The parties to this ejectment and the suit in chancery court of Wisconsin are the same, or are privies in estate. The same parcel of land is the subject of controversy, and the object of the suit, if not identical, is closely related.
The object of the bill in chancery, as we have seen, was to obtain from the court a decision upon the legal and equitable titles of the plaintiff, with the immediate view to a partition. If the decision had been made in his favor, it is true that a change of possession would not have taken place, as an immediate consequence, but it would have conclusively established the right of the plaintiff, either in an action of ejectment or upon a writ of right.
The object of the suit of the plaintiff in chancery was to obtain a recognition of the sufficiency of his deeds, as entitling him to the land, or to supply their defects, or to afford him indemnity, by subjecting the price that his adversaries had paid for the land to a tortious vendor having the legal title.
The object of the ejectment suit is to recover the land by means of the title disclosed in the deeds. A portion of the judges find in the two suits eandem causam petendi, and that the decrees of the Circuit and Supreme Courts of Wisconsin embraced the decision of the same questions, and are conclusive of this controversy. Bank of U. S. v. Beverly, 1 How., 135. But if the plaintiff is not concluded by the proceedings of the courts of Wisconsin, the question arises, whether his legal title will support his claim to the interest in the southwest quarter of the fraction.
The first deed from Dunbar to Montague was destroyed before the second was made, and in never was placed upon record. The decree of the courts of Wisconsin shows that the purchasers of the guardian were bona fide purchasers without notice. That deed is therefore inoperative, under the statutes of Wisconsin in relation to the registry of deeds. Territorial Statutes of Wisconsin, 179, sec. 10; Rev. Stat. of Wis., 329, 350, secs. 24, 34, 35.
We agree with the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, that the recorded deed from Dunbar to Montague did not convey any part of the fractional quarter, except that contained in lots numbers one and six. Lot number one is a subdivision of the fractional quarter section, and is designated in the plat of survey, as well as in the patent. Lot number six is referred to in the pleadings and proofs as a known and recognised parcel, corresponding with an official subdivision; and, upon referring to the official surveys in the General Land Office, we find that it is, as we had supposed it from the evidence in the record to be, noted there. The deed of Dunbar designates these subdivisions as the corpus of his conveyance; and, as a further description, adds, 'being that part of the northeast quarter lying east of the Milwaukee river.'
These lots lie east of the Milwaukee river, but there is within the fractional quarter a tract equally distinct, and marked as lots numbers one and six, and this fact has occasioned this controversy. The description of the property conveyed as lots numbers one and six of the fractional quarter is a complete identification of the land, having reference to the official surveys of the United States, according to which their sales are made. The more general and less definite description cannot control this; but whatever is inconsistent with it will be rejected, unless there is something in the deed, or the local situation of the property, or of the possession enjoyed, to modify the application of this rule. It cannot be controlled by the declarations of the parties, or by proof of the regotiations or agreements on which the deed was executed. Hall v. Combes, Cro. Eliz., 368; Jackson v. Moore, 6 Cow., 706; Drew v. Drew, 8 Foster, 489; 4 Cruise Dig., 292; 35 N. H. R., 121; 5 Metcalf, 15.
Upon the whole case, we are of opinion there is no error in the record injurious to the plaintiff, and that the judgment of the District Court must be affirmed.
Mr. Justice CLIFFORD dissented.

The plan was simple. Julian Gregg and I would hold a drawing event in Victoria Park, Bristol - an open invitation for the community to come together, be inspired by the landscape, to drift and draw; the resulting works set to be displayed in the local community centre at the local Art Trail due to take place on the 1st and 2nd of October. The event would co-incide with the local Fun Day the main event of the Victoria Park calendar - that way ensuring a maximum turnout. A foolproof plan.
Then the elements intervened … drifts of grey clouds, rain like stair rods lashing the leaves, the grass - winds whipping up, threatening to blow unwary gazebos to the four corners of the earth if anyone was foolish enough to erect them. The events of the fun day that could be moved, moved to the local pubs - face painting and children's entertainment to the Star and Dove, BBQ, bands and poetry to the Shakespeare.
The clouds cleared - a day of heavy showers beckoned, but how bad would it be? We took the plunge.
As we assembled our shelter, the clouds cleared, and continually drifted back to lash the canvas and dampen our paper. But people ventured out and visited us - slowly at first. The pace picked up as the stretches of sun gradually overtook the stretches of rain. Some ventured far afield in the park to take on the magnificent vistas; the brightly coloured houses of Totterdown, the gently sloping hills of the park itself. Other stayed near the Cafe to enjoy the various refreshments there whilst they stretched their creative muscles.
Many pictures were collected and all will be displayed at the Windmill Hill Community Centre during the Windmill Hill Arts Trail on the 1st and 2nd of October - come one, come all.
Many thanks to the people who helped Julian and myself set up, and also to those who braved the elements to come out and draw.

Background: Down syndrome, most common chromosomal abnormality leading to intellectual disability is being diagnosed by Karyotyping. Due to cost constraints, parents couldn't afford to do Karyotyping which causes delay in individual and family interventions. Introduction: Down syndrome has characteristic morphological features. The minor physical anomaly (MPA) are insults which occur in utero during embryonic development mostly in first and early second trimester and persists throughout life. Material and Methods: 70 karyotyping confirmed cases of Down syndrome (DS), 70 other causes of intellectual disabilities (Other ID) and 70 age matched normal children and adolescents (Average) have been incorporated in the study. The Modified Waldrop's scale (Ismail's 41 item scale) have been applied. Demographic comparison and Decision tree algorithm approach have been analysed by SPSS 25 version. Results and Discussion: The paternal age of childbirth, maternal age of childbirth, maternal age of marriage (P < 0.001), income (P = 0.026) variables are statistically significant in Down's syndrome group in comparison to other two groups whereas age and birth order are not statistically significant. DS group has more MPA (m = 17.04, SD = 5.462), than other ID (m = 5.93, SD = 2.628) and Average group (m = 1.59, SD = 1.378). Big sandal gap, high arched palate and epicanthus are most common three minor anomalies found in Down syndrome. Region wise scoring shows high significance (P < 0.001) in Global head, eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet in Down syndrome group. The four anomalies; epicanthus, telecanthus, high-arched palate, and curved fifth finger) thus can be grouped as differentiating anomalies. When clinodactyly (item 27) and high arched palate (item 21) are present together or epicanthus (item 08) and telecanthus (item 09) present together sensitivity of diagnosing the case as Down syndrome is 0.945 with negative predictive value 0.979. Conclusion: The simian crease which is being considered as common physical anomaly is not specific for Down syndrome. The large scale study is required to extrapolate the above findings but surely it opens new avenue of research.

Q: component not recognizing my Service passed by Dependency injection (Angular) Since yesterday I've been following an Angular tutorial (https://www.lynda.com/Angular-tutorials/Building-providing-service/540347/553419-4.html) and I got to the point where I started to use services.
the Service class, called MediaServiceService and stored in the file media-service.service.ts looked like this:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class MediaServiceService {

  constructor() { }

    get(){
    return this.mediaItems;
}
add(mediaItem){
    this.mediaItems.push(mediaItem);
}
delete(mediaItem){
    let index = this.mediaItems.indexOf(mediaItem);
    if(index >= 0){
        this.mediaItems.splice(index, 1);
    }
}

mediaItems = [
    {
        id: 1,
        name: "Firebug",
        medium: "Series",
        category: "Science Fiction",
        year: 2010,
        watchedOn: 1294166565384,
        isFavorite: false
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        name: "The Small Tall",
        medium: "Movies",
        category: "Comedy",
        year: 2015,
        watchedOn: null,
        isFavorite: true
    }, {
        id: 3,
        name: "The Redemption",
        medium: "Movies",
        category: "Action",
        year: 2016,
        watchedOn: null,
        isFavorite: false
    }, {
        id: 4,
        name: "Hoopers",
        medium: "Series",
        category: "Drama",
        year: null,
        watchedOn: null,
        isFavorite: true
    }, {
        id: 5,
        name: "Happy Joe: Cheery Road",
        medium: "Movies",
        category: "Action",
        year: 2015,
        watchedOn: 1457166565384,
        isFavorite: false
    }
];
}

The Injectable decorator did not come with the tutorial, as the tutorial does not use the angular CLI but I did.
I went my app.module.ts and and imported the service as follows:
import { MediaServiceService } from "./media-service.service";

and then on my providers metadata property for the @NgModule decorator still inside my app.module.ts:
providers: [
  MediaServiceService,
],

Now the problem came when I added the service to one of my components. I tried importing the service and injecting it through constructor, and the class ended up like this:
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {MediaServiceService} from "../media-service.service";

@Component({
selector: 'app-media-item-list',
templateUrl: './media-item-list.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./media-item-list.component.css']
})
export class MediaItemListComponent implements OnInit{

mediaItems;

constructor(mediaService: MediaServiceService){

}

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.mediaItems = this.mediaService.get();
}

onMediaItemDelete(mediaItem) {
    this.mediaService.delete(mediaItem);
}

}

I've been working for a while using angular in Ionic for past projects, and I know this is how dependency injection should work and even the person at the video did it this way, yet for some reason it kept on giving me the error:

TS2339:Property 'mediaService' does not exist on type 'MediaItemListComponent'.

I'm using PHPStorm as my IDE and it's been causing me minor bugs, so I thought maybe just closing and reopen it would fix it but it didn't
My work around was to, like the error said, create a variable called mediaService, and inside my constructor I assigned the injected MediaService to my variable as follows:
mediaService;
constructor(mediaService: MediaServiceService){
    this.mediaService = mediaService;
}

This did work, but I'm still doubtful on why did I have to do this, if I never had to do it before.
Was I doing anything wrong? why did my dependency injection 'did not work properly'?

A: If you are planning to use the mediaService outside the constructor, declare it by changing your constructor to:
constructor(private mediaService: MediaServiceService){

}

A: You forgot to put private on your constructor:
constructor(private mediaService: MediaServiceService){

}

In last two blog posts we learnt how to programmatically Save Contacts in WP7 and Retrieve Contact Information. Now after these, you may want to programmatically search for specific contact. So how to do this?
Windows Phone 7 SDK provides that API for you. You can use that API to asynchronously search for a contact by different parameters. Continue reading the complete post to learn more about the class and search mechanism. Don't forget to read out my other blog posts too.
The phone 7 SDK provides a sealed class called "Contacts" derived from "PhoneDataSharingContext". You can find this class in the namespace "Microsoft.Phone.UserData", which provides a asynchronous method named "SearchAsynch()". This method takes search query string and kinds of filter as parameter to search for the specific keywords. The "SearchCompleted" event returns the matched contacts to the user.
The SDK also provides an enum named "FilterKind" which provides filter type for your search query. When set, this will allow you search based on "PinnedToStart", "EmailAddress", "PhoneNumber" and "DisplayName". This is also present in the "Microsoft.Phone.UserData" namespace.
Hope, you are now clear about the basic API. Let's jump start with the implementation of the same.
In the TextChanged event implementation, call the SearchAsync() method once again but this time pass the search text from the searchTextBox. This will fire the proper search based on the query term.
Now in the "SearchCompleted" event implementation, get the e.Results and set it to the ItemsSource of the ListBox. You can do anything here with the data. Make sure that, you binded data in the XAML page correctly.
Here is the screenshots of what we implemented as of now. In the first screen you can see all the contacts in the list. When you start typing in the Search TextBox, you will see the filtered Contacts in the list based on what you are typing.
Hope this post will be helpful for you to understand the API and the basics of contact search. Stay tuned to my blog, twitter or facebook to read more articles, tutorials, news, tips & tricks on various technology fields.
If you have come this far, it means that you liked what you are reading (How to Search for a Contact in WP7 using the Contacts class?).

What is a Directrix of a Parabola?
A parabola is a curved line that is defined by a set of points, each of which are the same distance from a fixed point called the focus and a fixed line called the directrix. It can be used to model many real-world phenomena, from projectiles to satellite dishes. Let's dive into what a parabola's directrix is and how it affects its shape.
What Is A Directrix?
The directrix of a parabola is an imaginary straight line perpendicular to the axis that passes through the focus of the parabola. The equation for this line is y=d, where d is equal to the distance between the focus and directrix. This means that when we look at any given point on the parabola, it must be exactly d units away from the directrix.
The Shape Of The Parabola
The shape of the parabola is determined by both its focus and its directrix. In general, if two points on opposite sides of an axis have equal distances from their respective directrices, then their midpoint will be located on the parabola between them. This means that if you know where your parabola's focus and directrix are located, you can use them to find all other points on your graph!
How To Use A Directrix To Model Real-World Phenomena
A directrix can also be used as a tool for modeling real-world phenomena like projectiles or satellite dishes. For example, if you want to find out how far away an object will land after being launched at an angle, you can use your knowledge of physics combined with information about your object's initial velocity and angle of launch to calculate where it will land in relation to its starting point (the focus) and its final destination (the directrix). By using this data in conjunction with your knowledge about how far away each point must be from its respective directrix, you can accurately predict where your object will end up!
In conclusion, understanding what a parabola's directrix is and how it affects its shape and movement can help students better comprehend geometry concepts as well as physical phenomena like projectiles or satellite dishes. Knowing how far apart each point must be from its respective directix helps us determine precisely where objects will end up after they have been launched at an angle or moved along some sort of curved trajectory. Understanding these concepts can help students become more adept at modeling real-world events using mathematics!
How do you find the Directrix of a parabola?
The equation for the directrix of a parabola is y=d, where d is equal to the distance between the focus and directrix. To find the directrix of a parabola, you can use this equation combined with information about your object's initial velocity and angle of launch to calculate where it will land in relation to its starting point (the focus) and its final destination (the directrix).
What Directrix means?
Directrix is an imaginary straight line perpendicular to the axis that passes through the focus of the parabola. The equation for this line is y=d, where d is equal to the distance between the focus and directrix. This means that when we look at any given point on the parabola, it must be exactly d units away from the directrix. The shape of the parabola is determined by both its focus and its directrix. In general, if two points on opposite sides of an axis have equal distances from their respective directrices, then their midpoint will be located on the parabola between them.
What is the focus and directrix of parabola?
The focus of a parabola is the point on the curve that is equidistant from all other points on the parabola. The directrix of a parabola is an imaginary straight line perpendicular to the axis that passes through the focus of the parabola. The equation for this line is y=d, where d is equal to the distance between the focus and directrix. This means that when we look at any given point on the parabola, it must be exactly d units away from the directrix. The shape of the parabola is determined by both its focus and its directrix. In general, if two points on opposite sides of an axis have equal distances from their respective directrices, then their midpoint will be located on the parabola between them. By using this data in conjunction with your knowledge about how far away each point must be from its respective directrix, you can accurately predict where objects will end up!
Why is the Directrix of a parabola important?
The directrix of a parabola is an important concept because it helps us understand how points move in relation to each other when they are located on the parabola. By using this data in conjunction with your knowledge about how far away each point must be from its respective directrix, you can accurately predict where objects will end up! This is particularly useful when you are trying to model physical phenomena like projectile motion, or when designing devices such as satellite dishes. Knowing how far apart each point must be from its respective directix helps us determine precisely where objects will end up after they have been launched at an angle or moved along some sort of curved trajectory. Understanding these concepts can help students become more adept at modeling real-world events using mathematics!

Coachella Founder Confirms First Two Headliners For 2022, First For 2023
in EDM News, Events, Lineup
Courtesy of Coachella
As of April this year, it was still just too early to throw a major music festival in the US. Thus, Coachella was postponed for the second year running. Festivals later in the year, like this past weekend's HARD Summer and Lollapalooza were a couple of the first major festivals back, but those like Ultra and Coachella weren't so lucky.
Still, Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett wanted to provide fans some "reassurance" given the difficult year the concert and live event industry has faced since March 2020. So, he confirmed that Rage Against the Machine and Travis Scott will return to headline the festival in 2022, while Frank Ocean has been bumped to 2023 in a rare interview with LA Times.
"Right now, it's the Wild West," Tollett is quoted as saying. "I'm just trying to be as fair as I can to artists and to the fans to make sure that eventually they get to see everyone that we talked about."
Tollett also discussed the decision to wait until its normally scheduled month in 2022 rather than throw a festival in Fall 2021, like some other events. "You'll never remember that you had to wait, but you'll remember if you went to a really bad event."

The James H. Ellery Memorial Award is presented annually in recognition of outstanding media coverage of the American Hockey League. It was first presented in 1964-65 and honors the late Jim Ellery, who served the AHL for 17 years as league secretary and publicity director until his death in 1964.
An Emmy Award winner and one of Grand Rapids' most popular television personalities, Figurski has worked in the West Michigan TV market since 1996 and at WOOD TV8 since 2000 in both the news and sports departments. He is a regular at Griffins team practices, frequently reports live from Van Andel Arena prior to games, and often travels to provide exclusive road coverage of the team during the Calder Cup Playoffs. Figurski also hosts a weekly "Sports Overtime" show, inviting members of the Griffins as guests several times throughout the year. In June, Figurski worked with the Griffins to produce a re-broadcast of their 2017 Calder Cup championship, co-hosting the event and conducting interviews with players and coaches via video conference.
As color commentator for Griffins games since 2000, Figurski and play-by-play voice Bob Kaser – a former Ellery Award winner himself – have received the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Broadcast Excellence Award 10 times.
In operation since 1936, the AHL serves as the top development league for all 31 National Hockey League teams. Nearly 90 percent of today's NHL players are American Hockey League graduates, and more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame spent time in the AHL in their careers.

Delicious and juicy, this is a lighter bodied cinsault with lots of red fruits (some Cinsault are darker-fruited). This vintage tastes not unlike gamay; it can be chilled too. Underneath the juicy fruits there are attractive blue fruit flavours and some black pepper. Definitely our latest go-to wine!

Home Music Bands Interview: Jim Peterik
Interview: Jim Peterik
Eileen Shapiro
Illustrious and iconic song writer, performer and producer, Jim Peterik, known as a member of the band "Survivor", (Eye of the Tiger), and "The Ides of March", (Vehicle), has just released "The Song". "The Song" is a collection of Peterik's composition classics, taken from the last four decades of his song writing, and performed with an enchanting and sexy new interpretation.
Also released is "We All Bleed", an anthem inspired by the tragic and senseless Orlando shootings which shook the world, as does the song.
Besides "The Eye of the Tiger", from the film Rocky lll, and "Burning Heart" from the Rocky lV movie, his other phenomenal hits include: "High on You", "Can't Hold Back", "The Search is Over", and I can continue for days. I was honored to be able to ask Jim questions about the new release, as well as the music world in general.
Louder Than War: You have written so many epic songs through the years, what music
were you influenced by while you were growing up?
I was always a fan of great songwriting- though I had no idea who the writers were when I was a child- I just knew I was in love with the Everly Brothers music, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and then later anything by the three "B"S- Bacharach, (Dionne Warwick), the Beach boys and of course the Beatles. Later on I discovered the geniuses behind these great songs- they had the power to move mountains- and me.
What inspired you to release "The songs"?
I was intrigued by going under the hood to see what made my biggest hits tick. Was it the arrangements, the delivery or the words and music themselves? When I stripped these songs down to their raw essence I came to believe that a genuine song can be moving in almost any valid style- caught up in you (38 special) as an Eleanor Rigby style chamber orchestra arrangement, vehicle as a spooky "Riders on the storm" blues and most notably eye of the tiger as a moody bluegrass with fiddle, banjo and upright bass.
Do you feel as though writing songs was a path that was chosen for
you before you were born?
I believe it was there in the blueprint of who I am from the very start. Early on I found I could make up songs. I heard melodies in the air and words seemed to magically appear in the margins of all my school notebooks. It is one area of my life that I am totally committed to. I always feel my best song is still to be written.
I'm sure you live every single song that you've have created,
However is there a song that you are particularly proud of, one you
Enjoy performing the most?
Probably "The search is over". This song which I co- wrote for survivor in 1984 has resonated in my life and changed shapes many times. It's so easy to take for granted what is too easily obtained and overlook the obvious path. Perhaps the search is never really over.
Being in a group like Survivor you must have had amazing
Experiences. From your autobiography, what is one of the highlights of
your career?
There are so many amazing moments. But sometimes it's the simplest thing that stands out. Of course survivor went to the big red carpet premiere of Rocky lll just before the single came out. There was the usual fanfare and flash bulbs (!) going off and a jaded, uptight industry audience politely watched and clapped in synch. But it wasn't until I sneaked into my local theater in Lagrange, Illinois the week that the movie came out, sat in the back row incognito and saw the people start cheering and going nuts to the first telegraphic guitar lick that I played that I truly saw the future of this song- the impact it would ultimately have on the world.
Will you be touring in support of "The songs"?
Yes! I have done five sold out shows so far with more on the way. I love the intimate atmosphere of venues such as the city winery (in Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta and New York City) and the acorn theater in Three Oaks, Michigan, where I can tell the stories behind the songs and feature my acoustic band of Chicago musicians on fiddle, upright bass, pedal steel, banjo, piano and acoustic guitar. Having my son Colin Peterik on piano and backing vocals is a really special treat for me.
"We all bleed red", is an amazing song, with one of the most powerful messages I 've heard yet relating to the senseless Orlando tragedy. Where and how can fans purchase it? How did the Orlando shootings affect you personally?
Thank you! I was moved and shaken just like everyone else in the aftermath of the Orlando shootings- but the song is also a reaction to terrorism in general- how religious beliefs and prejudice can go against the very essence of what it means to be human- living on this earth together. The song and lyric video is on YouTube now and the song itself can be purchased on I -tunes. We are working out a way to turn over any proceeds to the proper charity.
Do you think the music industry has changed for the better in a "Twitter" world, or would you rather it have stayed the same through the years?
I think it's a two edged sword. It's easier now for a band or artist to self- promote if they are savvy with internet skills and have a flair for marketing. It also empowers the artist and puts his future squarely in his own hands. If they fail, they can no longer blame the record company or management. On the other hand, it is harder to make a buck selling your music because the perception now seems to be that music is free for the taking. It has been devalued to some extent. Then again this new world order certainly weeds out the real deal artists from the wannabe's and poseurs.
If you could give the younger Jim some advice, what would it be?
I would have counseled myself to stand up for myself and keep more control over what I really wanted with my band Survivor. Even though we were blessed with two great singers- first Dave Bickler- then the late great Jimi Jamison, in my original template for the band was to be kind of a second lead singer and second guitarist. That gradually changed as I became the keyboardist and background vocalist. Fortunately I could always express my heart through the catalogue of songs I wrote or co- wrote. That kept me sane.
Are there any future projects in the works for you?
The Ides of March, my band of 53 years (and still going strong) just released "Outside the box" a collection of the original masters of our biggest hits, including our the previously hard to find "La goodbye" and our 1970 number one, "Vehicle" and four brand new, brass driven rockers including our new single "Music messenger". In January frontiers records in Napoli, Italy will be releasing the new cd called "Fearless" by my band "Pride of lions" featuring the vocals of the incredible Toby Hitchcock and yours truly. This will be our sixth release since our debut in 2003. We have established ourselves in Europe and Japan and will hopefully with this release conquer America as well. Our sound is powerful and melodic at the same time.
Any parting words?
I feel extremely fortunate to still be doing what I love. My greatest joy is hearing from people who have been affected positively by a song I have written. That's really what keeps me going and makes my strive to keep raising the bar on human connection. You can't chart a goosebump- that either happens when listening to a song- or not. This blush of emotion is always what I strive for.

Miss Jamaica Universe Davina Bennett, the second runner-up in the recently-held Miss Universe pageant, couldn't hold back tears on Tuesday after her mentee was able to hear her clearly for the first time.
Britney Barnes, the face of the Davina Bennett Foundation for the Deaf, was fitted with a hearing aid in an initiative by the Starkey Foundation in association with the Digicel Foundation.
"I am Britney's mentor and model coach since January… Britney is the reason behind me starting my Foundation for the deaf," a teary-eyed Bennett.
"Since I have been back from (the Miss Universe pageant in) Las Vegas, this is the best gift I have received," Bennett said.
Over 800 hearing impaired individuals were fitted with hearing aids at the function held at the University of the Technology in Kingston. Member of Parliament Juliet Holness and businessman Rohan Marley were among the guests.
Barnes is among the deaf models signed by Sway Caribbean Agency, which is run by Jermaine Dyer, a close friend of Bennett.
Dyer, in an interview with Loop News' reporter Job Nelson said, "Sway is an agency that we created to make a difference in the society. Our main aim is to empower young people and, this year, we started with our first deaf model, which is Britney Barnes, who is the face of the Davina Bennett Foundation for the Deaf. Since then she has landed a job for the Universal Service Fund.
"We don't really look at people who are a part of the 'normal society'; we wanted to focus on people, who would not normally get the regular opportunity afforded in the industry," Dyer, the CEO of the agency, said.
According to Dyer, Sway has been creating a name for itself on the international scene. He said Bennett, the present executive director, will soon be co-CEO of the modelling agency.
Bennett was a crowd and Internet favourite at the recently concluded Miss Universe contest.

First probable case of monkeypox confirmed in Gallatin County
Initial testing was completed Aug. 9, 2022, at the Montana State Public Health Laboratory and confirmatory testing will occur next with the CDC

(Cynthia S. Goldsmith, Russell Regner/CDC via AP, File)
BOZEMAN — The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and Gallatin City-County Health Department (GCCHD) confirmed on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022, a single probable case of monkeypox virus in a Gallatin County adult.
Initial testing was completed August 9, 2022, at the Montana State Public Health Laboratory and confirmatory testing will occur next with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Gallatin City-County Health Department is performing contact tracing and will communicate with individuals identified as a close contact. The patient did not require hospitalization and is isolating at home. To protect patient confidentiality, no further details related to the patient will be disclosed.
"We appreciate the continued partnership with DPHHS and our local providers in our collective effort to slow the spread of monkeypox," Gallatin City-County Health Officer Lori Christenson said. "With this first probable case in Gallatin County, we want to encourage healthcare providers to be on the lookout for monkeypox infections to help minimize transmission. Anyone with symptoms should isolate and consult a healthcare provider."
As of August 8, 2022, CDC reports 8,934 cases of monkeypox/orthopoxvirus in 49 U.S. states. In recent months, more than 29,844 cases have been reported in 81 countries where the disease is not typically reported.
Symptoms of monkeypox can include fever, headache, muscle aches and backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, and a rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appear on the face, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body.
The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks and most people get better on their own without treatment. At times, monkeypox can cause scars from the sores, the development of secondary infections, such as pneumonia, or other complications.
The virus does not easily spread between people with casual contact, but transmission can occur through contact with infectious sores and body fluids; contaminated items, such as clothing or bedding; or through respiratory droplets associated with prolonged face-to-face contact. Because monkeypox transmission requires close and prolonged contact, close-knit social networks have been particularly impacted.
Individuals who believe they may have been exposed to monkeypox or have the characteristic rash or other symptoms should contact their health care provider.
There is no treatment specifically for monkeypox. However, because monkeypox and smallpox viruses are closely related, antiviral drugs (such as tecovirimat) and vaccines developed to protect against smallpox may be used to prevent and treat monkeypox virus infections. The need for treatment will depend on how sick someone gets or whether they are likely to get severely ill. DPHHS has pre-positioned a supply of tecovirimat in the state for use, if necessary.
CDC does not recommend widespread vaccination against monkeypox at this time. However, vaccination may be recommended for some people who have been exposed to the monkeypox virus. Jynneos vaccine doses are already in the state and have been placed at several strategic locations, including the Gallatin City-County Health Department to ensure identified close contacts needing a vaccine can access it quickly.
The Health Department and DPHHS will follow CDC vaccination recommendations for monkeypox vaccination and expanded criteria which may be recommended for the following individuals.
• Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP): Adults 18 years and older who have had exposure to individuals with confirmed orthopoxvirus/monkeypox virus infection.
• Expanded post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP++): Adults 18 years and older with certain risk factors that might make them more likely to have been recently exposed to monkeypox may be considered for PEP++. This may include people that are identified through case investigations/contact tracing, people who are aware that one of their sexual partners from the past 2 weeks has received a monkeypox diagnosis, and individuals that report group sex/sex with multiple partners in the past two weeks in association with certain events, venues, or geographical areas in which monkeypox transmission has been reported.
• Pre-Exposure prophylaxis (PreP) Adults 18 years and older who meet one of the following criteria:
o Men who have sex with men and have recently had multiple or anonymous sexual partners; OR
o Partners of men who have sex with men who have had multiple or anonymous sexual partners; OR
o Sex workers (of any sex); OR
o Staff (of any sex) at establishments where sexual activity occurs (e.g., bathhouses, saunas, sex clubs).
Certain healthcare and public health response team members are designated by public health authorities to be vaccinated for preparedness purposes according to ACIP guidance. At this time, most clinicians in the U.S. and laboratorians not performing the orthopox generic test to diagnose orthopoxviruses, including Monkeypox virus, are not advised to receive monkeypox vaccine PrEP.

The opening scene from the Disney Pixar movie Up is, in my opinion, the epitome of cinematic perfection, an entire story and lifetime told without a word being spoken. Theatre Re's The Nature of Forgetting is the theatrical equivalent of that kind of perfect storytelling.
There are a couple of words spoken "Grandma's coming, she's bringing a cake", it's Tom's birthday and his daughter has had to pick out his clothes and hang them at the end of the rail, he can't even remember her name without prompting. As he moves along the rails of clothes they spark memories of long ago, a lifetime passed.
What follows is an absolutely magical mixture of dance, mime and live music which takes us back to Tom's schooldays and his first love, his childhood friends and relationship with his mother. As he experiences each memory he must fight not to lose it forever to the disease which has taken hold. It flows at an incredible pace and is bursting with energy. The cast don't stand still once and everything is part of the performance including costume changes, Guillaume Pigé gives his heart and soul to the role of Tom.
The music, which is played live, is so hauntingly beautiful. It soars and gathers pace in time to the story being told, from the frenetic 'Banquet Trance' to the softness and gentleness of 'Isabella's Theme' it perfectly matches the action on stage.
It took sixteen months to develop The Nature of Forgetting in collaboration with UCL Neuroscience Professor Kate Jeffrey and every minute was worth it, because this is a highly innovative and absorbing performance piece which grips audiences from start to finish.
By the time Grandma arrives with the cake, and you see the number of candles burning, your heart is shredded in to pieces, The Nature of Forgetting is one of those incredibly beautiful pieces of theatre you are likely to remember for a long, long time.

Twenty four orienteers experienced the thrill of the challenge of the Rocks.
The weather was cool and overcast, the tide was low, and spirits were high. The 2.1 km sprint course with 19 controls and one decoy on a parallel feature challenged and fooled a few and almost the course setter. Control 431 was on a parallel feature but in a different cove 200 m from where some of the competitors thought they were. The 1:5000 scale maps were on opposite sides of the same page using the design that was pioneered by Mike Smith at the COC2008 week.
Field checking was done just the week before due to spring freeze/thaw rock falls activity that occurs each year. The vegetation was essentially the same which is unique for our NB maps.
Thanks to Heath Johnson for mustering the scouts from his Steeves Memorial Troup, our registration crew help, those that retrieved controls,those who drove from Fredericton and to our furthest participant from James Bay!
Prizes included a pristine map for all participants as many were muddied or badly creased. Irving gift cards were provided for the oldest, the youngest, the one who travelled the furthest and the vehicle driver that had the most passengers!
The last control was plucked from the far end of the course with one foot of tide to spare at the lowest pillar. The retriever was delighted to not spend the night at the emergency shelter.
This map provides a unique challenge to the course setter as there is a narrow window on the placement and retrieval of controls. Thorough knowledge of the map is required for any of you anticipating setting the course here in the future. All the controls were placed on electric fence stands that had a deep enough spike to be secure. The park was not officially open yet so there was no park entrance fee and the cables that restrict the neat part of the map had not yet been redeployed for the 2010 season.

Gippsland League clubs shift finals structure
IN LAST night's zoom meeting between Gippsland League clubs, where the rest of the season was discussed, clubs voted to restructure the upcoming finals series.
Instead of a top five taking part in a four-week finals series, clubs voted for a top six competing for the flag over three weeks.
The first week would see sides who finished third, fourth, fifth and sixth compete in elimination finals.
The structure of the first week is being worked through today.
Those who successfully make it through the first week would then play sides who finished first and second in preliminary finals.
And whoever wins those games would be into the grand final.
The two preliminary finals would be played at the venues of whoever finishes first and second in senior football.
As it stands, one final would be held at Leongatha and the other at Wonthaggi.
The only other team who could secure a home preliminary final is Moe, but they would need Wonthaggi or Leongatha get knocked off in the last home and away round, this week.
Wonthaggi will host Sale and Leongatha will host Warragul.
The home and away round this weekend is needed to make sure everyone plays each other once and then finals will kick straight into gear.
The new structure has not yet been confirmed by AFL Gippsland, but it seems inevitable now that clubs have decided to go down that path.
If the new structure is confirmed, Traralgon and Drouin, who sit in fifth and sixth respectively, are both in the senior football finals and Wonthaggi will sneak into the A Grade netball finals if they avoid an upset loss to Sale.
More information on the finals series will be available soon.

7. HTI technique to monitor wave activity
(Haldoupis et al., 2006)
Figure 7: Digisonde HTI plot over Nicosia on March 7, 2016.
The height-time-reflection intensity (HTI) methodology is similar to the technique producing range-time intensity (RTI) radar displays within a given time interval. The application of this method in the frames of the project will enable the identification and tracking of the TID activity over each Digisonde station by using the actual ionograms produced over each station. This technique considers an ionogram as a ''snapshot'' of reflected intensity as a function of height and Digisonde signal frequency, and uses a sequence of ionograms to compute an average HTI plot, (for a given frequency bin) that is essentially a 3-D plot of reflected signal-to-noise ratio in dB as a function of height within a given time interval; this display, which can be either color- or shade-coded, reveals dynamic changes in the ionosphere. Typical output of the Nicosia Digisonde HTI software is presented in Figure 7, demonstrating TID-like variations, for 7 March 2016. It corresponds to a Digisonde frequency band, of 1.5–3.0 MHz. By considering the points of strongest signal reflection (indicated by black dots in the figure) spectral analysis will be performed to infer the periodicity of the dominant wave activity over each Digisonde station.
