Wells Tower
Here is the highest compliment I can think to give: Wells Tower writes sentences that remind me of the late Barry Hannah. The sentences in Tower's debut, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned incinerate the page: they're sorrowful and funny as hell, often at the same time; most of all, though, they're true and, though they remind me of Hannah (and Cheever and Denis Johnson and Larry Brown, for that matter), utterly original.
Over the past few years, Tower has gained a reputation as a successor to Hannah and Brown as the next great Southern writer and, with Philipp Meyer, as a particularly masculine writer. To some extent, both are true — Tower's fixation on language is particularly Southern and his stories are populated by the kind of sad-sack, down-on-his-luck guys that pop out of Ray Carver stories. But Tower's interest in the South isn't as sociological as someone like William Faulkner's: as he tells me, he's primarily interested in parts of the South, like his native North Carolina, that are "culturally up-for-grabs" — crossroads between the past and the future, red and blue, urban and rural. And, though people certainly get hurt in his stories — the titular story in Everything Ravaged is about Vikings, for Christ's sake — violence is never an engine or a means to any end. Instead, it's pointless, as it creates or exacerbates conflict, and, most of all, absurd. Tower is primarily interested in characters who mean well — who want to fix broken relationships and build new lives — but struggle to change themselves. But, while Tower poignantly evokes his character's struggle to find happiness, his sentences are pure joy. Over a beer, Wells and I spoke about his stories, his writing process, and his relationship with Barry Hannah.
Despite being labeled (or perhaps pigeon-holed?) as a Southern writer, you write about places – so often, the sticks or exurbs – that are all over the country. More than anything, in terms of setting, when I was reading Everything Ravaged I was thinking, "here's a guy who spent some time playing in the woods as a kid."
[laughs] Yeah, I spent a lot of time out in the woods. It's funny – that's something that's come up a fair amount in conversations about the book. "It's very naturalistic, there's all this stuff about animals and the forest." That was something I was never really conscious of when I was writing those stories. But so much of my private life when I was a kid was out in the woods. I did a lot of growing up just running around out there.
How do you feel about the Southern writer moniker?
I don't know. I guess I don't really identify so much as a Southern writer. I mean, there are certain kinds of tricks and strategies, and a sort of calculi narrative sympathy, that I see in somebody like Flannery O'Connor, who's just irresistible – I mean, the way she puts a story together – and who I admire not as a Southern writer but as a brilliant architect and as a master, somebody who solves these really complex problems of sympathy and moral difficulty in fiction. She's somebody who I have to be really careful not to take refuge in. I admire a lot of those Southern writers, but also so many other people from all over the map – Cheever, Nabokov, whoever. I don't feel the agony of influence in a super focused way.
I do think there's a degree of Southernness that comes through in my fiction. And I do write about North Carolina – and I write about Florida some too – but I write about those places not much for the biscuits and gingham and donkey qualities that you can exploit, so much as their indeterminacy: the neck of the woods where I grew up in North Carolina is really a kind of culturally up-for-grabs kind of place. There's so many different cultural influences there. There's a big hippie movement there and the universities and then the [elements] of the Old South. But there still seem to be elements of Southernness that appeal to me, that I have an ear for. I think there's a particular Southern enthusiasm for language – I mean, I'm sure that's true for New England and the Midwest, but I grew up hearing it and have a particular fondness for certain weird things people do with language.
You were able to spend some time with Barry Hannah before he died. What was your relationship with his work?
He was just one of those writers who astonished me, and altered my notion of language's possibilities. The thing that was so phenomenal about Hannah is that with any of his books you could have cut up all of the sentences and strewn them on a floor and rearranged them and the book still would have been so much fun to read. Even in these stories of his that are non-narrative and don't really track, each sentence is its own little universe. There's so much pleasure and firepower and exuberance in every one of those sentences. I guess it was just a pleasure to see someone care so much about language and have so much fun with it. He was just a hugely invigorating writer.
How did you end up meeting him?
This magazine called me up and asked if I had any big Southern magazine ideas. I said the only thing I wanted to do was Barry Hannah. So I went down and hung out with him for three or four days. He was such a sweetheart. Such a good guy. We didn't really do a whole lot. I didn't grill him about anything. We just drove around in the country and I rolled tape. But he was a really congenial, sweet guy, which was nice to discover after all of the nightmare stories I'd heard about him.
Alcohol and firearms factor into some of those nightmare stories – which is, I guess, a trend among a certain group of Southern writers.
I don't know how they do it. I don't know how that whole generation of writers who were such terrible alcoholics found any time to write. You can only imagine the sort of work they would have been doing if they weren't laboring under a bourbon hangover until 4pm every day.
You've also been deemed a particularly "masculine author." How do you feel about that distinction?
I've made a real point not to read any reviews or any blogs or anything that anyone's written about the stuff that I do. So I don't really know. I guess I've gotten it some at Q & A's — that I'm kind of a guy's writer, or something. And I suppose that's to some extent true. It's reflected in the people I was reading a lot of when I was learning to read fiction: Barry Hannah, Cheever, Carver, Tobias Wolff, Tom Jones, Dennis Johnson. All those guys are writing kind of "man stuff," I suppose. But that probably has something to do with growing up in a house that was mostly men: I've got three brothers, a stepdad, a dad. But with my novel I'm really trying to bring more female characters into it.
In the interview you did with Barry Hannah you described the stories in Everything Ravaged as being particularly "clean." What did you mean by that?
I guess I felt that when I had ultimately revised them as much as I could – or as much as the schedule permitted – I didn't feel like there was a lot of terribly sloppy language left in it. And I didn't feel like there were big things in the stories that I felt shitty about. It was a funny book to put together because it covered such a range, in terms of time [and] in my development as a writer. The early stories in the book were really the first stories I had ever wrote to completion. So [I had to] to go back seven years later and try to revise those stories [while] leaving some of their initial energy intact [and] not [get] really upset that they were simpler stories with somewhat more crudely drawn characters. [Instead,] I decided there is a certain pleasure in this kind of story and I'll try to make sure that it's not too stupid or lazy but to try to clean up the original incarnation of it, and keep the intent intact.
It is funny though. Now I often look back at the first stories I wrote and there's a kind of simplicity about them and a kind of fearlessness that I just don't have anymore. Now when I write stories there's a lot more going on; there's a lot more moving on; I'm trying to reach deeper into the characters. Whereas really, there's an interesting lesson in the introduction to Cheever's Big Red Book [Editor's Note: he's referring to the affectionate nickname for Cheever's Stories, which is very big and very red] where he's talking about all these stories written over forty years and he said his favorite stories in the book were the ones he wrote in a week. I think maybe there's something to that: to come up with a short story with a very, very small idea and try to go after it in an economical, focused way. You know, often with a short story you really end up going out to sea. I don't know if this was in the Barry Hannah interview, but I do remember this thing that he said when I saw him speak at The New School. He was talking about fiction and someone asked him about writing fiction and he said, "Here's my advice: get in and get out." [laughs]
That is some good advice.
Yeah! I wish I could follow it.
How does splitting time between North Carolina and New York affect your writing?
I think it's weirdly harder than it used to be. I used to think that I could just write anywhere and do revisions in airport terminals, but now there seems to be some start-up costs to bouncing around so much. I'm really looking forward to just being in one place for quite a while. I don't know – each place has its own little incentive system. In New York you feel the pressure of all these publishing types that you spend your time with, and all your friends have books coming out all the time, and you think, "Well, I've got to stay at it." And in some ways that notion of how quickly the gears of the industry are spinning – I don't know, maybe it's good, but it tends to freak me out. I can't really hurry my fiction. New York tends to be very good for magazine stuff …. but as far as having a quiet contemplative life while really being able to think about fiction and maintain a pretty good reading diet, North Carolina is a bit better for me. And also, in North Carolina, I don't spend time with any other writers much down there …. that's pretty nice, to be somewhere where no one really gives a shit what you do for a living. …. Up here it just seems like you get drawn into the orbit pretty easily.
One thing that comes up a lot in interviews you've been involved in is the subject of revision. For something so central to a writer's life, it's something that's rarely discussed in interviews, so I've always appreciated that about you. What's your attitude towards revision?
Often, I think not quite sanely or healthily, I sat back down with a lot of the stories – even ones that were published in fancy places – [because] when I was finishing the book I just felt awful about them. It just seemed like there were all sorts of compromises they had made to make magazine deadlines or whatever it was. So for a lot of the stories I revised by rewriting the story entirely – just going back to the original germ that inspired the story and coming up with maybe a completely different plot and completely different cast of characters, but saving some little chromosome from the original story. The story "Retreat" was first published from the perspective of the younger brother; the carnival story was a first person piece when it first came out in Harper's but then became this multi-narrative thing; the story "Door in Your Eye" had a different narrator and a different antagonist; the version of "Wild America" in the book in no way resembled the original.
There's definitely a cohesiveness to Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned that I don't think would have been there if they weren't so heavily revised.
Particularly with the early stories, I just had no idea what the fuck I was doing. I didn't know what sort of compact the story was trying to have with the reader; I didn't know what its aims were. I wasn't really thinking about it in terms of "what's the bigger emotional problem of the story?" And that's what tended to be driving my revisions. After the two or three or four months I had spent writing the first draft it seemed to have now declared an emotional problem that I didn't know was there when I sat down to draft it. [So I would realized that] I happened to have chosen characters and a plot that don't really get at that problem in the most effective way. Revision was about finding new and better tools, at least in my mind.
There's a real restless energy to your stories – like Barry Hannah, you're always veering into uncharted waters. It seems that your revision process, though remarkably disciplined, is driven by that restless energy as well.
Writing is still a tremendously anxious process for me. It's never easy. If that's the sort of energy you're talking about when you say it's restless, then I think that's an intended effect of the way that I write. I think I really do write with a sense of a ticking clock. How can I possibly ask somebody to read all of this shit that I just made up? It's asking a huge amount of someone – it's like asking someone to listen to your dream! It's a huge imposition. So I'm constantly thinking, "I hope I'm rewarding the reader with language, or narrative immediacy." It's a habit that, as I'm working on a novel now, I'm really, really trying to run myself off the hook with.
While you don't necessarily "genre hop," your stories show off a lot more range than many of your contemporaries – you never settle into a specific class or setting or tone.
[laughs] You mean what makes me feel as though I'm capable of writing about any given subject? Usually it's some small turn or little irony. That story "Raw Water" is a fucking weird one. That's a very weird story that I really did not think would ever work out. It was this crazy thing. Basically McSweeney's got some money to put out this volume that would be all stories set in the year 2024. And they had some money to send us out to do some reporting. So I had this weird idea of this fake sea [in Arizona]. But that was such a vague idea; that story was hellaciously hard to write. …. When I was revising I was going back and trying to make sure that the language was in service of the characters and the story …. And then when I wrote "Raw Water" I was just like, "Fuck it. I am going to have as much low fun as possible. I am going to punish these characters. I am going to go completely into the red line in terms of language and make it as grotesque as possible and just do nothing in earnest."
It's almost like a Flannery O'Connor science fiction story! The characters are all so grotesque – one is described as having a "face like a left-hand drawing."
Right! Everybody's ugly. Everybody's gross. Everybody's a monkey! It was very funny to me that that story was the first story of mine that was part of the little packet of stories to win the National Magazine Award for fiction and it was in Best American.
My parents always buy me those aggregate, "best of," end-of-the-year mixtape books, and this Christmas I realized that they had basically bought me "Raw Water" eight times.
[laughs] It's so funny. I think there's probably a good lesson in it. I certainly don't look at that as being one of my best stories or anything, but I do think when you get to a place where you say "Fuck it. I'm writing for me. I'm going to just write a story to please myself" that, if you're really doing that, then some of that pleasure and irreverence will come through to the reader. I don't know. That story is weird as hell. [laughs]
There's a similar "What the fuck?" quality to the titular story of Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned in which you follow some Vikings who are reluctantly pillaging a neighboring island. You were accused of making fun of fantasy in one of our editor's Creative Writing seminars.
[laughs] If I was making fun of anybody I was making fun of those dirty realist writers who I also at the same time really admire. That was a really early story and I was reading a lot of Carver and the early Richard Ford stories – you know, this working stiff fiction. That was the gag.
That's another strange story in that it's littered with gags for thirty-odd pages and then, in the last couple of pages, it becomes completely devastating.
It is a gag story! It's an interesting story in that it started as a kind of smart-ass, cynical, meta gag and the thing I like about it is that it did seem to defeat my smart-assed young writer impulses… it did really end up working its way into this bigger emotional space. Or maybe it's a gag with unearned sentimentality tacked on at the end …. I guess I really just bought it. The gesture at the end is really crazy and is probably something I shouldn't have been able to get away with.
The entire story tilts over the course of maybe two pages from one narrative space into another.
Yeah. That's the kind of thing that I wouldn't try to do anymore. I just wouldn't try to pull off that kind of big turn that quickly anymore.
Of course, that story has also been fawned over for being some sort of allegory about Iraq or something.
Yeah. None of those resonances were intentional. [laughs]
How did you research the story "Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned"?
I researched it in the cheapest possible way. I picked up some grocery store books about Vikings published in the '20s or '30s and leafed through them and whenever there was something gross or weird I would make a note and put it in the story.
Your characters are remarkably dignified and often rather gentle.
I don't think many of us are really trying to do ill. And I think most of the ill that's done in the world happens despite our best notions of ourselves. And that's something that continues to interest me. It's much more interesting to me to have a character that's trying to be very, very good and doing a poor job at it than having someone who's a wife-beating asshole, or something like that.
Before the book came out you did quite a bit of non-fiction writing for GQ and Harper's, among many other places. Do you still do that kind of work?
A little bit. I'm starting to realize that it's very, very difficult to do both. Even to do a mediocre magazine piece takes a few months. For me, it's still very difficult to turn down magazine assignments — it's less often about the writing and more often about the reporting. To be able to parachute into some weird world and ask questions about it is a wonderful thing to be able to do.
Is it difficult to balance that kind of work with your fiction writing?
With fiction, you really have to practice your faith in it daily. As soon as you spend two days or a week away from it, you don't believe in the characters anymore and it's very hard to work your way back into that sort of self-hypnotized head space where you actually believe in the shit you're making up. …. After I've been doing fiction for a while the thing that becomes so tedious about doing non-fiction is that suddenly there's all this information that you have to disgorge. And if you care about language then you have to find ways to front-load the exposition that has to be there in a way that feels graceful, or fun to read.
Last night I gave your stories the dullest high compliment I think there is for short stories: "there's no exposition in these stories."
[laughs] Exposition is so awful.


Are you planning to launch your strategy in the Social Media Networking site? If your answer is in affirmative, then you are truly planning to enter the world of posts, sharing, links, comments, and a whole bunch of exciting promotional activities. Social media gives you the ticket to communicate direct with prospects and customers. It is one of the most challenging ways to reach the target audience and yet the results are satisfying. If you want to expand your horizon, then avail the Buy Instagram likes and followers proposal from Greedier Social Media.
The company has a team of techies who have conducted extensive survey of the market and have come forth with desiring facts which can change the face of your business.
The diverse channels of Social Media have factors which attribute to the promotion of the brand or services offered by the companies. Out of these Instagram is one of the most influential pads to make a difference in the development and growth prospects of the concerned organisations. The users can create their profile/account in all the networking sites and the diversified results can be achieved. But buy Instagram followers does make an impact upon the profit graphs of the organisations.
Do not over-indulge. This is rule no.1 which can bore your followers and they may hence start ignoring the posts and not share it in their newsfeed. Select wisely the right photo/content to be posted. Keep the time spaced so that the boredom factor never arises.
Give the users reason to follow you by making offers which are credible and attractive enough to grab their attention. Links of the website should embed in the Insta page so that they can easily get directed to the website of the organisation. This is an important opportunity planned by the experts in the Buy Instagram likes and followers package.
Engage with the audience regularly. This is an essential pointer which will reap far-fetched results because the association built with the customer helps in achieving brand loyalty from them.
When the service provider design buys Instagram followers, they also ensure that the likes and followers are achieved from active profiles so that they can achieve 100% customer satisfaction. It is a chain which should continue uninterrupted.

Grad Students Combat Opioid Crisis
in Featured News
Christopher Thomas, a scholarship recipient in the MSW program.
Graduate students at Millersville University, interested in becoming experts in addiction and recovery, are benefiting from a $1.35 million grant. The majority of the grant supports scholarships of $10,000 for students enrolled in the Master of Social Work (MSW) or $28,000 for students enrolled in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). There are 16 students in the program right now, with another 10 enrolled to start in the next two years, to develop the skills sought after in the workplace to combat the opioid crisis.
"The opioid crisis is an obvious and critical public health emergency. Tens of thousands of people die every year as a result of drug overdoses, and these deaths are largely related to opiate painkillers," says Christopher Thomas, a scholarship recipient in the MSW program. "The response needs to be comprehensive, and training professionals (such as MSWs) to work in the field of addictions is a part of this."
Channel Lowery is a scholarship recipient in the MSW program.
"Students are already benefiting by receiving training from experts in the field of addiction prevention, treatment and recovery," says Dr. Marc Felizzi, associate professor of social work and the principal investigator on the grant. "Additionally, students are obtaining experiences within an approved agency as part of field placements so they are able to apply their new knowledge and skills."
In addition to Thomas, Kylie Bradley-Moreschi and Channel Lowery are scholarship recipients in the MSW program. Lowery, who has an internship at Water Street Mission and plans to pursue her doctorate, believes that the opioid issue "is connected to so many other social problems that we are facing in our communities around the country and in Lancaster County related to homelessness, child welfare etc. Working on this issue will in turn contribute to combating other related issues."
Felizzi, along with the team of Drs. Karen Rice, associate professor/chair of social work; Laura Granruth, assistant professor in social work; and Kelly Kuhns, associate professor/chair of nursing, are actively recruiting students in the MSW program and DNP students who are already psychiatric nurse practitioners. Since the MSW is a joint program with Shippensburg University, they are also recruiting students from the partner campus. Next year's cohort will have new field placements across Central Pennsylvania.
Kylie Bradley-Moreschi is a scholarship recipient in the MSW program.
Bradley-Moreschi is working at Colonial House, a 90-day inpatient treatment facility that serves individuals with addiction disorders. She says, "I hope to start a non-profit drug and alcohol treatment program that promotes evidenced based treatment. So many people with addiction issues are falling through the cracks because they are not receiving individualized care or the opportunity to heal from their past traumas."
"Through the grant there were two special trainings last semester, and in spring and fall of 2020 there will be several trainings that students attend to continue to acquire the knowledge and skills in prevention, treatment and recovery of opioid and other substances," says Rice.
"We have begun collecting data to assess knowledge gained as a result of participating in the fall trainings," said Granruth. "We are collaborating with other universities across the U.S. that received the grant, to identify scales we will use to measure changes in our students' knowledge and skills related to opioid addiction, inter-professional values and socialization, and clinical effectiveness."
The faculty have enhanced three electives within the MSW program (Addictions, Healthcare and Behavioral Health) and will be exploring the possibility of offering an elective that is co-taught by social work and nursing faculty.
"We established an advisory board comprised of addictions treatment professionals, clinical professionals, students, and agency personnel from across Central PA," says Kuhns. "They have offered us insight on ways to enhance the electives as well as suggestions for trainers."
"This grant allows Millersville to increase collaboration with community members, professionals and with our colleagues at institutions of higher education across the country," says Felizzi. "It places us at the forefront of opioid and substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery, and offers us an opportunity to increase the University's level of recognition at a number of levels. Most important – participation in the grant gives our students opportunities to develop and display skills that are sought after in the workplace, and places them in a unique position to serve."
The grant is from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration. For more information, contact Felizzi at Marc.felizzi@millersville.edu or access the grant link at https://millersville.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyUfc0qHXlp9xqt.

Now that the trend is shifting from free based services to the value-based services, the healthcare providers are also looking for better approach and now they are inclining towards a new trend which is known as healthcare revenue cycle management solutions. They are implementing this in their solutions and taking great advantage of these services. But what are these services and how they are advantageous to healthcare care, we are going to find out next in this article.
Healthcare and medicine is the sector which is one of the outdated industry in terms of adopting new technology and services for the management. But now as the healthcare providers are inclining towards these services, they surely are seeing the benefits of these services and they are now actually implementing them. Some of the healthcare centers have these services implemented in their own places and they have realized that these yield great results like increased revenue, less time and money spent on administrative tasks, and also the improved patient experience. They are no more afraid to invest in these kinds of technologies.
Seeing the nature of the healthcare industry there are various factors like workflow, stability, and security in which the industry is lagging in both time management and productivity. But when they are going to adopt these services, they are not only going to save a lot of time, but the efficiency will also increase along with productivity. These medical revenue cycle management services provide a great deal of security and the systems will be able to see more frauds and threats more easily.
With these medical services, the healthcare providers will have an analytical mindset of doing a thing in this sector which will keep them ahead of most of the regional healthcare providers and medical facilities in the area. This will have leverage on them and you can increase the productivity in this business.
Well, there is no hidden fact that this industry needs to get on the wheels in terms of management. Undoubtedly, this industry is in the process of technological evolution and this service will play a key role in it. There are many services like medical billing and coding which are done and they have proven very good in terms of management. So more and more health care provider should invest in these kinds of services and contribute to a better working in this sector.

Rail News September 2018
Over 100 businesses in the East Midlands have won work on HS2 contracts so far according to HS2 Ltd, which is in the process of setting out its programme of skills and employment. HS2 Ltd says a whole generation of engineers, designers, architects and geologists will benefit from the construction of the new high speed railway as the project gears up to support 30,000 jobs and create opportunities for British businesses to upskill their workforce.
As the programme moves to construction, the number of roles supported by HS2 is forecast to reach 15,000, says the organisation. Chief executive of HS2 Ltd, said: "Our skills strategy, now launched, shows how we will create a sustainable pipeline of jobs and skills for companies across the whole country, which boost regional economies and help Britain compete internationally. "Our programme will tackle the skills challenges faced by the wider transport infrastructure sector, and ensure the UK has the best skills to deliver HS2 as well as major infrastructure projects in the future."
As part of the Laing O'Rourke Group, they have won a joint venture contract with LM to supple major bridges as part of the early works on Phase One of the project. The modular components will be manufactured at Explore Industrial Park in Workshop, North Nottinghamshire, and then brought to site in the West Midlands for assembly. The company recruits a minimum of four apprentices each year and when the HS2 related work commences in the factory it will create 35 new jobs. The company is working on enabling works on the Phase One section of the new high speed railway between London and Birmingham, providing ground investigations and engineering surveys to prepare for the new railway.
Employing 600 people, the HS2 contract has enabled the company to create training opportunities in a range of disciplines for over 60 employees, including 14 site access controllers and six people in attendance noise and vibration monitoring working on the Euston Enabling Works. Five new trainee operatives have been registered for their NVQ L2 in Land Drilling, and a further 17 staff have been supported through their Construction Skills Certification Scheme qualification.
Bridgeway recently won The Queens Enterprise Award for sustainable development after working on high-profile rail projects for the likes of Network Rail and local authorities, including the Crossrail project in London and HS2 enabling work at Euston Station.

Sri Lanka bombings: Wealthy terrorist brothers who killed hotel guests pictured
thegirlsun
These are the first pictures of the Sri Lanka bomber brothers who detonated suicide vests in two hotels where eight Britons were killed.
Inshaf and Ilham Ibrahim strolled into the Shangri-La and Cinnamon Grand hotels and blew themselves up as guests were eating breakfast.
The wealthy brothers' attacks killed 41 people who were staying at the hotels, many of whom were enjoying breakfast in the dining rooms at the time.
As police raided their mansion in an exclusive and wealthy part of Colombo hours later, Ilham's pregnant wife Fatima also detonated a bomb, killing herself, her three children and three officers.
Ilham Ibrahim (pictured) detonated his suicide vest at the Shangri-La Hotel as guests ate their breakfast
Another of the Sri Lanka attack bombers who studied in Britain has been named as Abdul Lathief Jameel Mohamed.
He is believed to have studied in the southeast of England at some point between 2006 and 2007.
Later it is understood he did a postgraduate course in Australia, before returning to settle in Sri Lanka.
Abdul Lathief Jameel Mohamed was one of nine who carried out a series of blasts targeting churches and hotels in the country.

Canton legislator West wants Ohio National Guardsmen as poll workers
Robert Wang
robert.wang@cantonrep.com
State Rep. Thomas West, D-Canton, has asked Gov. Mike DeWine to consider making Ohio National Guardsmen available to serve as poll workers.
The idea has gotten coverage by media outlets around the state, and a reporter asked about West's suggestion at DeWine's media briefing Tuesday afternoon.
In response, DeWine referred the question to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, an Army veteran and former Ohio National Guardsman.
"Well, I'm going to rely on Frank LaRose and see what Frank thinks," said DeWine. "I know Frank has plans, and I know locally they're working to recruit people to be the poll workers. ... We have some older poll workers who in the world of Covid may not feel safe sitting there 13 hours where the polls are open, and they've got to get there earlier than that. So it's a long day, when they're exposed to a lot of different people. So I think that's going to be our challenge this year ..."
Maggie Sheehan, a spokeswoman for LaRose's office, wrote in an email, "We'll review Rep. West's request. In the meantime, Secretary LaRose has already begun working with (Ohio National Guard Adjutant General) Major General (John C.) Harris (Jr.) to recruit members of the Ohio National Guard to serve as poll workers in a civilian capacity."
West's proposal
West said a friend suggested the idea.
The legislator said it disturbed him that only about three months before the election, 54% of about 1,000 respondents to a Stark County Board of Elections survey said they wanted to return for the Nov. 3 election.
"We just thought it would be great for (National Guardsmen) to protect one of the greatest freedoms we have and that's voting," said West. "We need to make certain that we need to have the necessary people ... deployed so we could have a fair and free and accessible election. And we don't have to worry about reducing the number of polling locations because we don't have as many people manning the polls."
A large percentage of past poll workers are elderly retirees who are considered vulnerable to the most severe symptoms of COVID-19. Boards of Election staff worry that many will decline to work Nov. 3.
If they cannot be replaced, that could result in polling locations being closed and long line to vote.
Assisting Ohioans
During the pandemic, Ohio National Guardsmen have been assisting food banks with distributing food; setting up pop-up testing for the coronavirus; testing residents and staff for COVID-19 at nursing homes; and collecting and distributing personal protective equipment.
West says they can also serve as poll workers to address a "potential shortage."
In a letter to the governor dated Monday, West wrote :
"We simply must ensure that every voter feels their voice can be heard in this election, despite the severe circumstances."
Early this month, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers due to a shortage of poll workers deployed Wisconsin National Guardsmen for the state's August primary in civilian clothing. They had been called up to staff the polls in a primary in April.
In June for a state primary to address another shortage of poll workers, Kentucky National Guardsmen in civilian clothing installed equipment at polling locations, directed vehicles of voters where to park and performed crowd control. They were not permitted to handle ballots or screen voters.
Traditionally, the U.S. military is expected not to take part in political activities.
When asked about whether the presence of uniformed National Guardsmen at polling locations could deter people from voting, West said, those concerns could be addressed.
"We don't want them to bring their guns and military vehicles. We just want them to come to the polling elections and assist people in voting," West said. "We see these people in our Hall of Fame Parade. Nobody's intimidated by them there. And I don't think we would be intimidated by them in the polling locations."

This week in Christian history: John of Damascus, St. Columba, St. Paul's Cathedral opens
CP Current Page: Church & Ministries | Sunday, December 01, 2019
By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter | Sunday, December 01, 2019
Saint John of Damascus dies - December 4, 749

This week marks the anniversary of when Saint John of Damascus, a monk and theologian who had a prominent influence on the Eastern Orthodox Church, passed away.
Initially a tax official for a Muslim ruler, John became a monk and was the author of a treatise that argued in favor of the veneration of sacred images, putting him at odds with the Iconoclast movement.
"The Iconoclasts obtained a condemnation of John at the Council of Hieria in 754 that was reversed at the second Council of Nicaea in 787," noted Britannica.
John wrote around 150 works, including Pēgē gnōseōs, or "The Source of Knowledge", an influential theological work in both the Western and Eastern Churches.

Dateline: Cote d'Azur – .FR (10:52 pm LOCAL) — In observation of Donald Trump's recent presser with the mentally challenged and obviously delusional Kanye West the demeanor of #CovFeFe appeared .. how to say? .. Lethargic .. possibly fatigue from the many circle jerk self aggrandizing rallies, of which are obviously in a futile effort to stave off the imminent #BlueWave that may sweep the Republicans out of the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate — thus protection from the endless and possible indictments (of his crime syndicate & family), prosecution and even the pipe dream of impeachment.
Yet, are we seeing a criminal becoming resigned to a fate far worst than the most famous disgraced Republican and conservative Richard M. Nixon? Is a jet on standby to fly him off to political asylum, and refuge in eastern Europe? We will see how much of a draft dodging coward he is ..
The questions are innumerable as to what will happen next but perhaps Trump may need a neat & nice shot or two of espresso before he opens his uncontrollable yap in public ..


CARTOON UTOPIA: CARTOON UTOPIA 2014! MARCH FIRST AT DEM PASSWORDS IN LA!
CARTOON UTOPIA 2014! MARCH FIRST AT DEM PASSWORDS IN LA!
Dem Passwords is pleased to present "Cartoon Utopia 2014," the ninth in a series of solo shows by Ron Regé, Jr., and his first at Dem Passwords.
Whereas previous shows acted as a sort of "annual report" on the progress of drawings that would become The Cartoon Utopia book of 2012, "Cartoon Utopia 2014" presents a series of brand new paintings created in the first 2 months of this year.
Contrasting the delicate line work and cartoony figures he is known for, this latest peek into Regé's universe has yielded larger dark, abstract works painted with enamel on wood panels. In the breathing space that follows the kind of frantic outflow of ideas that was The Cartoon Utopia, Regé has slowed down to focus on a loose and transcendent style in paintings that serve as snapshots of some unknown vibrational field. Like trying to draw a flame or an ocean wave, these latest works aim to grab some sort of frozen close up of the shimmering effluvia - of the flowing dark matter, the invisible ether of quintessence that surrounds us always, unseen.
Originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, Ron Regé, Jr., began publishing his own minicomics in 1988. He has since published work with Highwater Books, Fantagraphics, Buenaventura Press, McSweeney's, and Drawn & Quarterly. An active and accomplished musician, Regé writes and performs music as a solo artist and plays drums with Los Angeles-based band Lavender Diamond.


MCU is the biggest brand in Hollywood as people literally love everything they have to sell (except Inhumans apparently!). When it comes to the movies, Marvel has a 100% success rate as they have put out quality movies one after the other every year!
For some audiences, Marvel TV still lies behind the Arrowverse TV shows, but in terms range, Marvel really has a lot more to offer than DC does at this moment. What's insane is that Marvel is tapping every medium there is out there as Marvel Studios produces at least 3 movies every year and Marvel Television produces even more TV shows than that.
The most insane fact is that ever since July 2017, Marvel has released at least one of their properties every month until October 2018. Only November will be a dry month for MCU fans as nothing is coming out this month. But after having done so much, we can safely say that Marvel does deserve just one month of break.
Out of the 5 movies and 10 TV shows that Marvel put out in this time period, we can say that only Inhumans not up to the amazing Marvel standards, and some could argue that the second season of Jessica Jones was a little over average, but rest everything was just top notch.
Amongst the films, Infinity War, Black Panther, & Thor: Ragnarok were the best, and on the smaller screen, we had Daredevil Season 3, The Punisher & Agents of SHIELD which were loved the most by the fans.
Marvel may not have a long streak in 2019 as the release dates of some of their upcoming properties are not confirmed yet, but we do have quite a lot of MCU stuff coming out within the next year as well.
After Runaways Season 2, we will have the final season of Agents of SHIELD, Netflix's sequel season to The Punisher is on the horizon, Cloak and Dagger have been renewed for Season 2 & Jessica Jones & Daredevil have not been cancelled yet.
Apart from these shows, we have Disney's Disney Play being launched next year, and that is supposed to have limited series for Falcon & the Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, and Loki. So that's plenty of small screen content even after Luke Cage and Iron Fist have been cancelled by Netflix.
When it comes to the movies, we will obviously have Captain Marvel coming out on March 8, the much anticipated Avengers 4 on May 3, and Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5, 2019.
As we move into 2019, Disney will also have acquired 21st Century Fox, so all of their Marvel properties will also be coming home which means, even more, MCU centered content for us. Now we will have to see whether Marvel produces new content from the Fox Marvel properties in 2019 itself, or will they take their time to establish the mutants in the MCU.
For now, let's just focus on some other TV shows for this month and give Marvel the break that they deserve. Who knows, to make the biggest headlines this month, they may just give us the title of debut trailer of Avengers 4.
Feige confirmed that it is coming before the end of this year, and a little birdy told us that it may even be mid-November, so the trailer could play in theatres with Disney's Wreck it Ralph Sequel which comes out on November 21.


When adding layouts that are stored in Enterprise to the InDesign Book panel by running the OpenIssueAsBook.jsx file, you may find that not all layouts are added.
This can happen because the total number of layouts that are added to the Book panel is directly linked to the value that is set for the DBMAXQUERY setting in the configserver.php file of Enterprise Server. This value is set to 50 by default, meaning that when you try to add more than 50 layouts, only the first 50 layouts are actually added.
To have more layouts added to the Book panel, increase the DBMAXQUERY value.
Note: This value also affects the total number of files displayed in the Document pane of the Smart Connection panel and the Document pane in Content Station.
//    Maximum number of records returned in query results. Default value is 50.
//    of 50. When set to zero (0), there is no limit and all records are returned.
//    This can have a negative impact on performance, so doing this is not recommended.
//    be many times greater than specified in DBMAXQUERY.

If you're in the process of establishing a traditional theme to your bathroom, instead of opting for the usual close-coupled toilets, why not go for something a little different? High level toilets offer a fantastic way to upgrade your sanitaryware, and the excellent styling featured on them takes clear inspiration from vintage aesthetics dating back to Georgian, Edwardian, and Victorian eras.
Combining traditional styling with modern components gives you the best of both worlds, as you get all the benefits the latest technology brings while still retaining gorgeous period styling. High level toilets will transform your period bathroom into a more bespoke looking place to be. Their regal appearance will enhance even the smartest looking traditional theme.
What exactly is a high level toilet?
Like close-coupled toilets, high level toilets comprise of a pan and cistern. However, the cistern is situated much higher up the wall than usual, supported by brackets which are often intricate and ornate in their appearance, and connected by a flush pipe. In order to flush the toilet, a pull chain is mounted to the cistern, allowing for ease of use.
Of course the main advantage you get when you install a high level toilet is having a fantastic looking piece of vintage inspired styling adorning your bathroom. These toilets are a great investment as they add a degree of charm and character to period settings. They can also be customised for a genuine bespoke feel. You can change items such as flush handles and cistern brackets, and toilet seats can be upgraded for throne versions which look smart.
If you'd like to create a more original looking bathroom, you can even have custom inscribed cisterns with a message of your choosing on them for the ultimate tailored effect.
Sadly all good things can have their down sides, and high level toilets are no exception, although the negatives are not too major. They can be a little expensive, depending on what you go for, but you should be able to find a setup that suits your budget. Also, you may struggle trying to integrate one into a smaller bathroom or one with a low ceiling due to the height of the cistern, however there are many sizes available so there are ways around this problem so you can have the toilet you want.
Opting to have a high level toilet in your bathroom will show others you're passionate about authentic period styling. The wonderful designs these units feature will make for a great centrepiece that you can be proud of.
It's a good idea to take your time and do some research prior to deciding on a high level toilet, factoring in things such as your budget and any practicality issues that may arise. This way you're going to avoid any nasty surprises when it comes to installation. Why not take a look at our DIY guide How to install a toilet to give you an idea of the work involved and how much it will cost in time and money should you prefer to hire a professional to fit it for you.
We hope you enjoyed our guide to high level toilets. What do you think about them? Are they the epitome of period style or are they maybe just a little too flash for your tastes? Let us know on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Zoo Miami Orchid Project | Miami | Eastern Airlines Orchid Club
Zoo Miami Project Many of the club members were also members of the South Florida Orchid Society (SFOS). About 1985, after visiting the San Diego Zoo, Jill Sidran, the president of ths SFOS, promoted interest in having Miami MetroZoo (now Zoo Miami) designated as a rescue center for confiscated plants. After the U.S. Department of the Interior granted the designation, the Zoo built a greenhouse and the SFOS members spent Saturdays placing both donated and confiscated plants in trees and exhibits throughout the Zoo. About 1987, the SFOS felt it could no longer continue with this project. Since the EALOC members felt this was a worthwhile project, EALOC took it over and continues with it to present time. After the devastation of Hurricane Andrew, the greenhouse was rebuilt by the Zoo and the watering system was installed by EALOC members. The greenhouse is now maintained by the club. Through this project, the Zoo Miami's botanical gardens are enhanced for Zoo patrons to enjoy. In appreciation, a bronze plaque is permanently displayed in Zoo Miami to recognize EALOC's contributions. Visit Zoo Miami Website Zoo Miami Foundation

In the world of Outdoor Adventure enthusiasts, whether you're a climber, hunter, fisherman, hiker, camper, or so on. We are often faced with the same issues. "I'm cold", 'my feet hurt", "my boots are slipping and wet", and "my equipment isn't working as well as I would like" for example. So when we have these issues we often look to upgrade our gear for our next outdoor adventure, however we are faced with a barrage of different terminology and marketing claims by outdoor gear manufacturing companies. Often, this leaves us confused on which options to go for, should you go for that Marmot Jacket or Patagonia one? Why in the world is Arc'teryx gear so expensive? Fortunately for you gearjunkie.com has got you covered.
Gear Junkie is a Minnesota based review site, whose' sole purpose is to help you conquer the many challenges of Outdoor Adventures. Gear Junkie writes helpful articles on both outdoor activities as well as Outdoor Gear. You can find a list of activity and gear review pages below.
When it comes to camping, Gear Junkie covers a wide variety of gear for family campers, backcountry camping, car camping, and more. One issue that campers often come across is finding the right tent for you and the kind of camping you're planning on doing. Gear Junkie covers this in their article titled "How to Choose a Tent: An Explainer" by Steve Graepel. Steve breaks down the recommended different types of tents including Mountaineering Tents, Ultralight Shelters, and camping tents based off of the kind of camping you're doing and your needs. Another helpful thing that Steve does is breaking down terminology of the make-up of a tent (Single Wall vs. Double Wall, Tent Vestibules, In-Tent Storage) going into detail of what to look for, and what features you need based on your type of camping.
The climbing community is a very tight knit one with various un-descriptive language involving its terminology. In Gear Junkie's climbing section you can find various different articles going over all things climbing. One of which I found to be helpful was an article titled "Sport Climbing Gear List: 12 Essentials for Beginners" by Kyle Nossaman. The article extensively covers all the necessary gear you will need to start climbing, as well as some great recommendations on quality products for beginners.
For passionate explorers it's a rush to experience a wide variety of climates and conditions. However, hikers are often faced with the choice of having either waterproof or breathable boots, this decision does not come easy as the two don't often go hand in hand. Generally speaking though, in a hot and dry climate you're going to want breathable footwear. Gear Junkie blogger Peter Reese goes through 5 factors to consider when choosing breathable hiking footwear in his article titled "Higher and Drier: Best Breathable Hiking Boots". After laying out crucial features to look for, Peter goes lays out a few of the top choices from brands like; Arc'Teryx, Helly Hansen, Scarpa, and Under Armour.
Every hunter knows that his hunting gear can make or break the hunt. Coming into a hunt unprepared and equipped can even be dangerous. For this reason you must be able to reliably carry all the equipment you need on your back and body (especially for big-game). Whether that be your gear, or even hauling out an animal. Editor-in-Chief, avid outdoorsman, and hunter Sean McCoy from Gear Junkie goes into detail about a some of the best packs for your hunting needs in his article "Best Backpacks for Big-Game Hunting".
Finding good outdoor apparel useful for protecting from the elements, from popular brands at a good price, is not an easy task. Being a product review site, this issue comes right up Gear Junkies areas of expertise. Peter Reese outlines 8 different pullover products that are a perfect gift for any summertime explorer in his post "Hiking Insulation: 8 Great Layers for Summer". These products are sure to keep you warm on cold summer alpine nights, and keeping the sun off of you while keeping cool during day hikes.
One new hot product trend in the world of outdoor food and hydration that people and companies are jumping onto is the cooler backpack. Anytime you're setting up, or moving camp with a group of friends the most awkward, yet essential item to carry is the cooler with all your beverages. Especially if it's one of those big ones with the handles on the side, if you're carrying it by yourself you have to do that awkward waddle, swinging that big thing around straining on your back. Personal struggles aside, somebody (a genius) invented a cooler backpack, making it much easier to carry your beverages, Nate Mitka reviews options you have in his article "Best Cooler Backpack Review: 6 Brands Put to the Test".
For those of us looking to document our outdoor adventures to share, and remember, Gear Junkie provides the best reviews on products and tips to bring your outdoor experience to the next level. Professional photographer, and videographer Benjamin Kraushaar recently contributed to Gear Junkie with an article titled "Fly Fishing Photography: 9 Tips to Take Better Photos". I'd highly encourage any outdoor photographer to check this out as these tips can be applied to not only fly fishing, but just photography in general.

China's Huawei Evaluating Mobile Phone Manufacturing in India
April 11, 2016 Srijita China's, Evaluating, Huawei, In, India, Manufacturing, Mobile, Phone
China-based Huawei is evaluating ways to start production of mobile phones in India through contract manufacturing in association with Foxconn and is currently studying the business models and tax incentives.
A delegation of Huawei, led by its India CEO Jay Chen, met Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday and apprised him of its expansion plans for the country.
"We had a very elaborate talk and they have said that till now they have invested $2 billion (roughly Rs. 13,309 crores) in India in the last 16 years," Prasad said.
"They have a facility in Sriperumbudur… they are selling one million phones in India… if you are selling one million phones, you better start manufacturing here and they have promised me, they will explore the possibility. They are in talks with Foxconn on a contract basis. They are welcome to do business in India," Prasad said. Huawei is serving 40 networks worldwide from its offices in India.
Asked about manufacturing plans in India, a Huawei representative, who was part of the delegation, said, "(It) depends on the business volumes, we are still evaluating… we are trying to understand the policy, tax incentives and the business models. Currently, we manufacture the network equipment."
Apart from Huawei, officials of two other Chinese telecom companies, LeEco and ZTE, met the minister. Also, global CEO of US-based Avaya, Kevin Kennedy, along with Vishal Agarwal, who is MD (India and Saarc), called on the minister.
"All these companies are into ICT, into electronic manufacturing and communication services and all of them are very bullish about India. They are keen to invest and expand their footprint in India," Prasad said.
"I made three things clear to them. You are most welcome to do business in India, but keep sensitivities in mind. India is an open democratic society, be sensitive to issues of cyber-security and follow India's regulatory scenario properly."

The First 'This Is Us' Season 2 Clip Will Make Fans Love Randall & Rebecca's Bond Even More — VIDEO
By Allyson Koerner
You better go and grab a box of tissues, because the first This Is Us Season 2 clip is here. The scene is an emotional one (of course) featuring Randall and Rebecca discussing adoption. What makes it all the more special is the way Rebecca talks about welcoming Randall into the family as her child.
The conversation comes up after Randall tells his mom that Beth is struggling with the idea of them adopting. In the Season 1 finale, Randall told Beth that he wanted to adopt, which would potentially give them a third child. Well, things don't seem to be going as smoothly as Randall had hoped, but enter Mama Pearson to try to make the situation better for her son.
After some pushing from Randall, Rebecca opens up about how she actually didn't want to adopt him at first, especially since she was grieving the loss of Kevin and Kate's biological sibling. However, that didn't stop Jack from pushing the idea onto Rebecca. As showcased in the pilot, Jack knew from the get-go that Randall would be their son, but Rebecca needed some convincing. She even admits to Randall that it was all very "complicated."
Rebecca then gives Randall some food for thought about marriage, which she seems to hope will help he and Beth come to a conclusion about whether or not they really want to adopt. "Sometimes in marriage, someone has to be the one to push to make the big moves," she tells him. "And often times in our marriage, yes, it was your father."
Then, she makes an emotional declaration that will most definitely bring a tear to fans' eyes. Rebecca says,
"Our marriage wasn't perfect, it's true, but none are. And your father wasn't perfect, either, but he was pretty damn close. As close as they come. He pushed a stranger on me, and that stranger became my child, and that child became my life. He became you."
Based on this quote alone, the drama clearly hasn't lost its touch — and ability to make viewers cry.
This Is Us on YouTube
There's no doubt that Rebecca and Randall's relationship has its flaws, but this scene shows just how strong of a bond they have. They love each other immensely and are always going to need each other when it comes to the bigger moments in life.

Абу-ль-Хасан Мука́тиль ибн Сулейма́н аль-Азди́ (; ) — исламский учёный-богослов и толкователь Корана.

Биография
Его полное имя: Абуль-Хасан Мукатиль ибн Сулейман ибн Башир аль-Азди аль-Балхи аль-Хурасани. Он родился в Балхе. Жил в Мерве (совр. Туркменистан), Багдаде и Басре (совр. Ирак). Учил и проповедовал также в Мекке (совр. Саудовская Аравия), Дамаске (совр. Сирия) и Бейруте (совр. Ливан). Сыграл определённую роль в гражданской войне во время правления халифа Марвана II.

Его толкование Корана (тафсир) считается одним из самых старых тафсиров, сохранившихся в полном объёме. Известен своими антропоморфическими взглядами в отношении божественных атрибутов, однако использовал и иносказание (тавиль). Ему приписывают одно из первых сочинений об «отменяющих и отмененных» аятах (насх и мансух), а также антикадаритский трактат.
