Charlie Peters, First Director of Peace Corps Evaluation
Dale Gilles
Charlie Peters had left by the time I got to Peace Corps Washington. But I do remember a one on…
By a common rule of politics, freshmen legislators are expected to keep their mouths closed and their ears open. Carlie Peters managed to shatter the rule without rousing so much as a dirty look. The fact that he may have set a record for first-term accomplishment in the West Virginia House of Delegates is, he admits, due to at least one unusual circumstance.
"I had already served two years as clerk of the House Judiciary Committee," Peter explains. "So I knew the other Delegates—and they knew me—before I was elected. Afterward, I was in quite a different position than if I had been a perfect stranger. I was a familiar figure in the Capitol and no one thought I was trying to be a whiz kid by pushing legislation."
In this situation, Peters went ahead—and rolled up a remarkable score. He drafted and sponsored the state's first civil service law. He sponsored legislation setting up a Human Rights Commission to insure equal treatment regardless of race. He put through a bill controlling advertising on interstate highways.
These measures passed and are now law in West Virginia, but unqualified success fails to indicate the full measure of Peters' energies. He pushed a number of other bills through the House of Delegates only to see them die in the State Senate.
Born and raised in Charleston, W.Va., the future legislator enlisted in the Army in 1944 and spent the next 18 months as an infantryman, an engineering trainee—and a hospital patient, after he broke his back in a training accident. Patched up, he enrolled at Columbia College where he took a B.A. in humanities and an M.A. in English, alternating his studies with several trips to Europe.
Peter received his law degree in 1957, and brought it back to Charleston where he entered his father's firm of Peters, Merrick, Leslie and Mohler. He also brought back his bride, the former Elizabeth Hubbell of Charlottesville, whom he met while he was on the Virginia campus.
Settled again in his home town, he was quickly involved in a general law practice, jumping right into trial work with developing specialties in criminal, contract and tort litigation as well as libel law. His appointment as clerk of the House of Delegates Judiciary Committee mad him the chief staff officer of the committee. And in 1960, he was elected to the House as a Democrat from Charleston.
"I was immediately taken with the idea of the Peace Corps, and I came to work for it in April, 1961—with the idea of staying three months," Peters says. Once aboard, he decided he wanted to remain, and "now, I am here indefinitely."
Arriving as a consultant to the General Counsel, Peters negotiated with the government of Puerto Rico for the establishment of Camp; Crozier at Rio Abajo. Peace Corps work has since taken him to the Philippines, St. Lucia, Ghana, Nigeria, Pakistan, Thailand and Malaya—as the first field evaluator. An occasional tennis player who roots for the Cincinnati Reds in one sport and the New York Giants in another, he was named Chief of the Evaluation Division in February 1962.
Notes on Evaluation Division and Charlie Peters
In my opinion, (and the opinion of many others in the agency) no one in the Peace Corps building played a bigger role in keeping the agency on the 'straight and narrow' than Charlie Peters. Peters put together the first self-evaluation unit ever in the federal government. Peters filled the 11th floor of the Maiatico Building with "investigative reporters" who could write and investigate and hold the fire to the feet of Country Directors.
Hiring reporters was the idea of Bill Haddad, the Associate Director of the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Research, Charlie's boss, and a former reporter himself. "Let's get our own guys to go out there and find out what's goin' on, and if there's something wrong, we'll be the first to know and can correct it before the press gets onto it and starts screamin'," said Haddad, as quoted in Coates Redmon's Come As You Are: The Peace Corps Story, published in 1986 by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. Later, Fritz Fischer in his book, Making Them Like Us: Peace Corps Volunteers in the 1960s, published in 1998 by the Smithsonian, would quote extensively from the evaluations done by Peters' small army of writers, including RPCV Dick Lipez (Ethiopia 1962-64), Peggy Anderson (Togo 1962-64), Maureen Carroll (Philippines 1961-63) and Mick McGuire (Pakistan 1961-63). Peters wanted the 'input' of RPCVs. He also hired knowable and well known investigative journalists such as: David Gelman, Richard Rovere, Calvin Trillin, James Michener, Fletcher Knebel, Mark Harris, Philip Cook, Tim Adams, Dick Elwell, and Kevin Delany.
And Fletcher Knebel would not only do an "evaluation" of the Liberia program, he would , afterwards, and in a matter of weeks, write the novel, The Zinzin Road, based on his experiences with Peace Corps Volunteers and the agency in West Africa. Knebel dedicated this novel to PCVs, calling them "the children of Kennedy." JC
Richard M. Krieg, RPCV Brazil (1969-71) says:
Charlie Peters put together a unique array of professionals to assess and present the early Peace Corps experience. The the use of investigative reporters to capture the current Peace Corps field experience could be invaluable on the domestic front.
Compelling stories that feature Volunteers working collaboratlively in their host countries are one antidote to a country turning inward. As a former foundation President, I would hope that American Philanthropy might recognize the benefits of subsidizing a cadre of seasoned reporters to portray the modern day Peace Corps.
The image of idealistic Americans working closely with citizens of other countries has always been compelling. In the spirit of Charlie Peters, it would be great to mainstream awareness of the 'on the ground' Peace Corps reality today.
Joanne Roll says:
I would also suggest that RPCVs groups are doing a great job of bringing home the Peace Corps Experience. Here is a link to one: https://www.museumofthepeacecorpsexperience.org/cpages/home
These are my thoughts. Charlie Peters pioneered the internal, independent, evaluation unit in a federal agency. It was not a marketing device. What you are suggesting does sound more like a PR effort than an evaluation one. All the evaluations from the 60s are archived at the National Archive and Records Archive II at College Park, Md: Record Group 490. If those evaluations had been made public, I don't think Peace Corps would have survived! The evaluations were brutally honest and not necessarily complimentary to staff or Volunteers in-country. Their function was to identify problems, as well as identify sucessful programs. The goal was to make Peace Corps work..
Today, the Office of the Inspector General of the Peace Corps is charged with doing program evaluations in-country. The Office has had and may still have RPCVs on staff as evaluators. This is good, but not enough. I think that Peace Corps needs a far more vigorous evaluation program. Specifically, I would like to see medical anthropologists and public health specialists evaluating each health program. I also would would like to see cultural anthropologists who specialized in specific country as well as professionals in the field of the program and country being evaluated. I think each team should include RPCVs.
Dale Gilles says:
Charlie Peters had left by the time I got to Peace Corps Washington. But I do remember a one on one interview in Liberia with Fletcher Knebel when he was there conducting a program evaluation. He was ensconced in a small space in the Peace Corps offices interviewing Volunteers as they happened to pass through. Some months later when THE ZINZIN ROAD was published many Volunteers were wondering if they had made the big time and were mentioned in the book. My parents eventually sent me a copy which I immediately devoured and passed around to colleagues. One would have thought it was the latest best seller. Of course it was fun trying to figure out who each of the characters was intended to be in real life; as well as the the actual places mentioned as imaginary geographic locations.

Writing a thesis is a lengthy process that can cause a serious amount of stress. When you feel like you need a break from the stress, there are thesis writing services that can help you get the job done. Thesis writing services can do everything from helping you narrow down your topic ideas to writing the actual thesis as well as formatting the bibliography page and assisting with revisions. Many of the thesis writing services will include freebies with any order and in most cases, those freebies include free or reduced-price revisions. Unfortunately, many writing service clients fail to use the free revisions, simply because they do not know the feature even exists.
When you hire a service to help you with your thesis, you should immediately look at what is included in the services you purchase. Many of the best websites will include bonuses like letting you choose your own writer and letting you communicate directly with your writer. These are important features to have, especially when writing a high-stakes paper like a thesis. Some sites will also include free formatting as well as free bibliography pages, too. However, the most valuable of all freebies is free revisions. Many professors will meet one-on-one with their students to discuss their papers. Then, they allow their students to revise the paper in order to meet the requirements of the assignment. If your writing service does not provide free revisions, then you have to make them on your own. This can be troublesome because your writing voice might be significantly different than that of your original writer. When you get free revisions, you can request that the same writer makes the revisions for you.
If you feel like you are going to insult the writer by asking for revisions, you should stop worrying. Writers are not offended by the need for revisions, especially writers who craft academic papers for a living. No paper is perfect the first time through and any writer worth his or her weight will relish in the idea that someone has taken the time to find weaknesses. Every professional writer knows that a good edit is invaluable, because that writer will be able to see where his or her strengths and weaknesses are. Since you are paying for a service, never hesitate to ask for revisions - you might even be able to get them for free!!

How LCD Projectors Work
Revie@wires | Updated 1 day ago
How LCD Projectors Work: A Complete Guide
This article offers an overview of LCD projectors from the basic functions to a complete guide on how they work. It offers a step by step look at the different parts that make up a projector, delves into more detail about how to use it, and examines what to look for when looking for one.
How does a projector work?
What is an LCD Projector?
What are the advantages of an LCD projector?
What to look for when buying an LCD projector
There are three main components to an LCD projector: the light source, the LCD panel, and the projection lens. The light source is typically a high-pressure mercury vapor lamp or a metal halide lamp. These lamps produce a broad spectrum of visible light that is directed into the LCD panel.
The LCD panel is made up of two layers of glass with a liquid crystal solution sandwiched in between. The crystals are aligned by polarizing filters that are placed on each side of the panel. When an electric current is applied to the crystals, they align themselves in such a way that they either allow or block light from passing through.
The third component, the projection lens, takes the light that has passed through the LCD panel and focuses it onto a screen or other surface. Most lenses used in LCD projectors are compound lenses, which means they consist of multiple lenses that work together to produce a clear image.
An LCD projector is a type of video projector for displaying images on a screen. It uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel to modulate light passing through it. The LCD panel consists of a grid of pixels that can be individually controlled to create an image.
LCD projectors are commonly used in business presentations and education settings. They are often portable, making them easy to transport and set up. Many LCD projectors also have built-in speakers, making them ideal for giving multimedia presentations.
LCD projectors work by shining a light onto an LCD panel. The panel then modulates the light according to the image being displayed. The light is then projected onto a screen or other surface, creating an image.
Most LCD projectors use DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. This uses mirrors to reflect the light from the LCD panel onto the screen. DLP projectors typically provide higher resolutions than LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) projectors, which use a different method of projecting the image.
The Magnification Ratio: A Look at the Numbers for a Projection Screen
LCD projectors have a native resolution, which is the number of pixels in the projector's panel. The image is enlarged by the lens to fit the projection screen. The size of the image on the screen is determined by the throw ratio of the projector. The throw ratio is the relationship between the distance from the projector to the screen and the width of the image.
To calculate the magnification ratio, divide the width of the image by the width of the projector's panel. For example, if an LCD projector has a native resolution of 1024×768 and it projects an image that is 8 feet wide, then its throw ratio would be 8:1 (8 divided by 1). This means that for every 1 foot that you move away from the projector, your image will be 8 feet wide on your screen.
LCD projectors have many advantages over other types of projectors. For one, they are much smaller and lighter than other types of projectors, making them more portable and easier to set up. Additionally, LCD projectors produce clear, bright images with true-to-life colors. They also have a very long lifespan, lasting up to 10,000 hours before needing to be replaced. Finally, LCD projectors are very energy-efficient, using less power than other types of projectors.
Why is an LCD projector better than other types of projectors?
LCD projectors have several advantages over other types of projectors. First, LCDs create sharper images than other projector technologies, so you'll get a clearer picture with an LCD projector. Additionally, LCD projectors tend to be smaller and lighter than other types of projectors, making them more portable and easier to set up. Finally, LCD projectors use less power than other types of projectors, so you'll save money on your energy bill by using an LCD projector.
When shopping for an LCD projector, there are several things you'll want to keep in mind. First, consider the resolution. The higher the resolution, the sharper the image will be. However, keep in mind that higher resolutions also require more powerful hardware, so it's important to strike a balance between resolution and power.
Next, think about brightness. LCD projectors can range from 1500 to 3000 lumens, so you'll want to make sure you pick one that's bright enough for your needs. Additionally, look at the contrast ratio. A high contrast ratio means that the projector can produce deep blacks and bright whites. This is important for making sure images look sharp and detailed.
Finally, take a look at the throw ratio. This is the ratio of the distance between the projector and the screen to the width of the projected image. A shorter throw ratio means that you can place the projector closer to the screen, while a longer throw ratio requires more distance between the projector and screen. Choose a throw ratio that's appropriate for your setup.
An LCD projector is a great way to project images and videos in a large format. By understanding how LCD projectors work, you can ensure that your projector will provide high-quality visuals for your next presentation or event. Thanks for reading!

"Become a vessel for inspirational flow." Focus on a world that will be peaceful and less violent everyday. The peace begins in your heart first. It was placed there by God. When others see, feel, and understand that peace lives inside of each of us, then they too will feel the flow.
I found an old notebook as I was trying to give some order to the stuff that is stored in the attic. I always sit as comfortably as possible when this happens because I end up reading the whole notebook in remembrance of things past.
These are quotes I had jotted in some entries and they added up to twelve of my favorite quotes about thinking and writing. Most of them are by my favorite poets and writers. I decided I would use them to remind me of what will be most important throughout this brand new blogging year.
I hope you find some worthy of adopting for your use.
* I found a few poems I abandoned and will work on them again.
* This has been so true for me personally.
* I try to write with this purpose.
* I loved her books as a kid.
emotions you never felt before.
for the person you adore.
with a little help from the heavens above.
for me and those I love.

Slippers Collection
Junior Collection
Mini Me Set
Made in Italy is a legacy.
The art of craftsmanship is essential to our footwear Collection, made by a very few artisans following a century old fine tradition. Each individual shoe is not just Made in Italy but worked by hand, according to a unique process: the quintessential uppers design is cut from velvet, bonded to cotton twill and piped with tonal ribbon. It is then sewn to the insole and the ultra-light rubber sole is applied by hand with the signature «strega» stitching. Our shoes feature a special internal heel construction for optimal comfort
Watch the video below to visit our artisans at work!
According to the finest Made in Italy tradition, Tuscany is renowned for leather shoemaking, whilst the «Furlane shoes» are a traditional product of Northern Italy. They have a long history and traditionally these iconic shoes were also called «Papusse», which inspired the name of our brand.
In the XVIII century, they were a staple of the aristocrats' wardrobe, since they loved to walk around their properties in comfort and silence, their rubber soles sliding silently on the floor. Indeed, the iconic construction of the Furlane shoes makes them feel as slippers while looking as shoes.
Made in Italy means history. Most of our artisans have been making these iconic shoes for over 70 years and carefully preserve the traditional techniques, which their fathers handed down through generations. Traditionally, hemp was used to make the shoes: the yarn was washed in water with resin and ashes, then sundried to bleach. Coloration was obtained from a natural dyeing process: the color beige came from boiling walnuts, green from juniper, blue from the ash tree, burgundy from onion and purple from blueberry. Back then, women played a key role, since they used to hand-craft these shoes for the whole family, including kids. Velvet was meant for special occasions, while canvas was used for those shoes to be worn every day.
The Furlane shoes cut from black velvet were considered a luxury item, and the young girls, as a sign of love, used to hand-craft a pair to be given as a gift to their fiancè.
Later on, the fame of the Furlane shoes spread and they became an icon of Italian style, symbol of charme and understated luxury.
As a must-have this season, they are particularly suited for the perfect Milanese look, which plays flat shoes off denim, or even a cocktail dress, for a sophisticated, effortlessly chic look. With Papusse Milano, Made in Italy is a statement of charme

Roads looked like rivers and in some places the torrential rain has battered the roads to the extent that they are starting to crack and break off.
More than half the rainfall expected for Scarborough in August fell today in the flash flood.
The average recorded rainfall for Scarborough in August is 64mm. Rainfall gauges in Scarborough today have recorded between 30mm and 40mm.
The rain hit Scarborough at around 11am and the downpour continued for over an hour.
The flash flood has backed up drains and made conditions almost impossible for drivers.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue received 60 reports of flooding in the space of two hours.
A spokesperson for the brigade said: "Fire control received approximately 60 reports of flooding to properties in various areas of Scarborough.
"We currently have eight fire engines with @ 50 crew members attending flooding incidents throughout Scarborough following heavy downpours.
"Crews have been assisting with rescuing people from cars trapped in floodwater and at properties with vulnerable residents. They are now working their way around areas of Scarborough giving assistance to residents affected by flooding."
Pictures have emerged of the road lifting on Sandybed Lane, Trafalgar Road and Valley Road. While Eastborough resembled a river more than a road.
The flooded roads which are passable with care include Prospect Mount Road, Weydale Avenue and Scalby Mill Road - going down towards the Sealife Centre.
For the most up to date information of road closures click here.
Flooding has also hit Scarborough Spa. A spokesperson said: "Due to today's severe rain and flooding within areas of The Grand Hall, tonight's Scarborough Spa Orchestra evening performance has been CANCELLED due to safety reasons.
"Our box office will contact Orchestra patrons who have purchased tickets in advance to offer them a full refund or to exchange tickets for a future performance within the next 24 hours.
"A decision on whether Magic Mike's & Bernie Clifton's shows will go ahead this evening will be made shortly once we have made an assessment on the performance areas."

Q: Flask application doesn't have access to updated db information / Flask sqlalchemy not removing session I am working on my first web app (Flask) and have progressed to the point where I am deploying it.  For the db and orm, the app uses mysql, sqlalchemy, flask-sqlalchemy. For deployment, I am using gunicorn and nginx.
Its all set up and I am able to access the site on the external server.  The issue I am having is that when data is entered and I then search for it, the application is not able to consistently access it (i.e. when new user registers, they can't login even though their information is in mysql db).  By consistently, I mean that I can see the entered data 1 out of every ~5 times I refresh the search. To be clear, the information is making it to the db and the server is returning the flash message saying the data was successfully submitted.
Additionally, I was testing submitting a form when cookies had been deleted.  As expected, it gave me a CSRF error.  However, afterwards, the application wouldn't refresh the cookies.
Both issues resolved themselves once gunicorn was stopped and restarted.
I suspect its an application configuration issue, but haven't figured out what is causing it. The issues do not appear when I am running the app from the flask development server.
Edit: To verify it wasn't an external server issue, I ran the gunicorn locally. Once again, I ran into the same issue.  The issue disappeared however, when I reduced the number of workers from 4 to 1.  The inconsistency reappeared when I increased the number of workers from 1 to 2. Whether the app was able to correctly access the db depending on which worker was being used.
Looking at flask-sqlalchemy, when run with the development server I saw that its correctly removing the db session at the end of each request.  However, it is not doing that when I am running with gunicorn?  Does anyone have any thoughts as to what could be causing this?
Below is code for config file
**Flask config.py**
class Config(object):
    SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get("SECRET_KEY")

    #sql alchemy info
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI =  os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')
    SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS = False

class ProductionConfig(Config):
    DEBUG = False
    TESTING = False
    REMEMBER_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = True
    SESSION_PROTECTION = "strong"
    SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
    REMEMBER_COOKIE_SECURE = True

class DevelopmentConfig(Config):
    DEBUG = True
    TESTING = False

S.F. supervisors move to make outdoor parklets permanent, with some changes that Mayor Breed opposes
June 7, 2021 Updated: June 8, 2021 7:35 p.m.
The parklet outside the Morris as seen on Nov. 7 in San Francisco. S.F. officials are moving to make the program permanent.
Josie Norris/Special to The Chronicle 2020Show MoreShow Less
Parklets line Green Street in North Beach on Nov. 7.
San Francisco officials voted Monday to advance legislation making parklets, the infrastructure behind pandemic outdoor dining, a permanent part of the city's streetscape.
The Board of Supervisors' Land Use and Transportation Committee voted in favor of the program following a two-week delay that led to modifications to the program.
The three-member committee adopted amendments proposed by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, including delaying permit fees and requiring accessibility for disabled people.
Supervisors Peskin and Dean Preston voted in favor of the amendments. Supervisor Myrna Melgar opposed some, such as shifting permit oversight from the Planning Department to the Department of Public Works and requiring spaces be accessible to the public when not being used by businesses' customers, including at night. Mayor London Breed's office also said she was opposed to those two changes.
Peskin said at the hearing that having the Planning Department as the coordinating agency "creates redundancies and delays" and that the department was already struggling to handle other permit processing work.
More than 2,200 businesses have received approval to set up parklets in the past year, and a permanent expansion of outdoor dining could be one of the pandemic's lasting legacies.
Gavin Newsom on outdoor dining parklets: 'We don't want to go back to normal'
Mayor Breed says she's battling S.F. supervisors to make outdoor dining parklets permanent
The program requires a full vote by the Board of Supervisors, scheduled for June 22, and could be subject to further changes. Another hearing on the program with public comment is being held on June 18 because of the amendments that were adopted.
Dozens of speakers were overwhelmingly in favor of the parklets program, with business owners urging the supervisors to act quickly and give them clarity.
A representative from Waterbar and Epic Steak, two restaurants on the Embarcadero, said that the businesses lost over $1 million last year, but that outdoor dining in parklets is helping them recover.
"They want to eat outside. They want to enjoy the vitality of San Francisco," he said.
Breed, who sponsored the legislation, had threatened to propose a ballot measure if supervisors didn't move to pass the bill. The mayor's office supports the "vast majority" of amendments but opposes any that detracted from the program, said Jeff Cretan, Breed's spokesman.
"The mayor has been clear that we need a permanent Shared Spaces program that works for our businesses and our city. We've been focused on getting this passed in a timely manner to provide certainty for our small businesses, who have really struggled during this pandemic," he said.
Supervisor Peskin denied that he was trying to obstruct the program.
"I'm coming from a position of collaboration," he said at Monday's hearing, describing the mayor's approach as "my way or the highway."
"There was much to be desired in Mayor Breed's first draft of this permanent legislation. Our collective job as policy makers is to take feedback from the public and particularly from underrepresented communities and craft policy that will address stakeholder concerns and make our streets more livable," Peskin said in a statement after the vote.
Proposed permit fees for parklets of up to $6,000 per business were set to begin in March 2022, but the supervisors delayed that until at least March 2023.
Preston wants chain stores, which the city defines as those with 11 or more locations globally, to be excluded from any fee waivers, arguing that major companies don't need financial assistance from the city. He later said that the city attorney must review any potential amendment.
Speakers raised concerns over the amendments, such as requiring 8 feet of access on sidewalks that are more than 12 feet wide.
Laurie Thomas, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and owner of two restaurants, said that large of a gap would block some restaurants from having outdoor setting. She called on supervisors to base the new legislation on regulations for outside tables and chairs, which existed before the pandemic.
Brian Cassanego, owner of Noir Lounge in Hayes Valley, said he supported some public access to parklets when customers weren't using them but said they should be closed at night to prevent drug use and other activities.
Sharky Laguana, president of the San Francisco Small Business Commission, said Type 48 liquor licenses for bars and nightclubs forbid any minors from being in areas where alcohol is served, which could complicate efforts to open public spaces to everyone.

Startup to Take on PayPal
Pmints could go where PayPal won't, including porn and gambling
A secure electronic payments startup plans to challenge PayPal, but with a twist: It permits transactions for online pornography and gambling, which PayPal does not.
Pmints, which was founded by a graduate student at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, will officially launch its payment services this fall. It's currently beta-testing the payment service.
It plans to peg a demographic of Internet users aged 21 to 35, about 68 million of whom bought adult goods online last year, according to published reports. Pmints will also handle gambling payments outside the U.S., although the practice is illegal here.
Unfortunately for Pmints, the stigma attached to sex and gambling has already backfired on the startup effort. UVA this week cut Pmints out of its business incubator program, which provides startups with office space, stipends, faculty access, and legal support.
That apparently didn't rattle Rafael Diaz-Tushman, founder and CEO of the company, however. "It's not going to affect the company," he said in an interview with The Daily Progress in Charlottesville, Va. "Things are going well."
Diaz-Tushman said in published interviews that he decided to get his MBA and start up his own payment service after PayPal froze his own account. The payment arm of eBay had discovered that his former movie and gaming rental site business included adult DVDs. He says there's big money in the adult industry, and that Pmints will fill that void.
Diaz-Tushman had not responded to requests for an interview at the time this article was posted.

A History of St. Paul Lutheran Church in North Omaha
Special thanks to Rev. Bill Moorhead for his contributions to this article.
There have been many churches in the Near North Side neighborhood since its establishment in the earliest years of the city of Omaha starting in the 1850s. Some stayed throughout the decades and changing demographics. However, many churches left the neighborhood when their congregants moved. One such congregation is St. Paul Lutheran Church, and this is its history in North Omaha.
Forming a Church
North Omaha's St. Paul Lutheran Church was founded in the Near North Side neighborhood in 1887. Arriving in the city to work for the Union Pacific Railroad and in warehousing, Germans had their own language and longtime Lutheran roots, and believed they needed their own congregation to serve them close to their homes. First meeting in the Norwegian Lutheran Church at North 26th and Hamilton Street, this initial location was in the neighborhood of many other congregations belonging to Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and even other Lutheran congregations. The church's first minister came in 1888, and was Rev. J. Herr.
Growing and Moving
This is a pic of the second St. Paul Lutheran Church that was located at N. 28th and Parker Streets from 1893 to 1913. Pic courtesy of Rev. Bill Moorhead.
For the reason that the neighborhood was too packed, in 1892 a new church and parsonage was built at North 28th and Parker Streets on the outskirts of the Near North Side. Focused on extra land at the site, the First Lutheran Church of Omaha built a school here as well and sold it to the St. Paul congregation. The church was dedicated in December of that year.
On Easter Day, March 23, 1913, a massive tornado swept through North Omaha after church services ended and a wedding happened in the building. There were eight choir members rehearsing in the basement of the church when the monster attacked, but nobody was hurt. However, the church was completely obliterated by the tornado. Without insurance on the building, the congregation expected to have a hard time raising money to recuperate. However, a collection was held in Lutheran churches across Omaha, and more than $32,000 was raised.
This was what St. Paul Lutheran Church looked like after the Easter Sunday Tornado of 1913. It was located at N. 28th and Parker Streets. Pic courtesy of History Nebraska.
Growing and Moving Again
This is a postcard of St. Paul Lutheran Church at N. 25th and Evans Street from 1913 to 1958. Pic courtesy of Rev. Bill Moorhead.
Soon after, the congregation decided to move northwards, and in December 1913 they laid the cornerstone of their new church and school and parsonage at North 25th and Evans Street in the Kountze Place neighborhood. This address was more prestigious and reflected a middle and upper-middle class bearing for the congregation; it also preceded the white flight that struck St. Paul's old neighborhood starting immediately after the lynching of Will Brown in September 1919. Their new location was in a neighborhood with strict redlining though, and its location likely seemed insulated enough to keep the white congregants feeling "safe" from the African Americans who lived nearer to their former location. Shortly after they moved out, the building became home to the Clair Memorial United Methodist Church and stayed that way for several decades. In the 1940s, the church was added onto because of its growing congregation.
The End of St. Paul's
This is an image of the former St. Paul Lutheran Church, later Clair Memorial United Methodist Church, at N. 25th and Evans Street. Pic from Google Earth.
For more than 40 years, St. Paul Lutheran Church and its school flourished.
By the late 1950s though, the congregation faced the integration of the neighborhood surrounding the church. In 1958, they began moving further west by building a new school at North 50th and Grand Avenue. After several years of the church meeting in the school's basement, in 1966 they broke ground on a new church building at the site. Operating in a growing neighborhood for the next 30 years and the congregation's membership peaked in the late 1970s. However, in the 1980s the surrounding demographics changed again. Church attendance started to decline and never recovered, with many families left the congregation for other churches in west Omaha.
Determined to appeal to the new African American neighbors, the church stayed open in the area and accepted non-Lutheran students in the school. The school's population grew, and by 1996 was nearly double from four years earlier.
After 132 years, in 2019 the St. Paul's Church closed permanently. The congregation merged with several others and is now called the River of Life Lutheran Church.
The unique and beautiful building at North 25th and Evans Street has been empty for several years and continues to languish without attention.

Charleroi names street in honour of Patrice Lumumba
Charleroi has become the first town in Belgium to name a street in honour of Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a month before Brussels plans to do the same.
Lumumba's son, Guy Patrice, attended the inauguration and unveiled a plaque at Charleroi city hall. "This is a proud moment of recognition," he said. "My father always fought for the Congo and Belgium to build a common future."
Lumumba was instrumental in gaining Congolese independence from the former Belgian colony. After just over two months in office during the summer of 1960, he was assassinated by the Katangan state, a Congolese break-away movement supported and funded by the Belgian state.
The project to rename Charleroi's Rue Pasteur as Rue Lumumba was led by town councillor Gaetan Bangisa, who is of Congolese origin. He hopes the renaming will provide an opportunity for local schools to discuss Belgium's colonial past.
In Brussels, a square next to the Porte de Namur, on the corner of the Chaussée d'Ixelles and Rue du Champ de Mars, will be renamed in Lumumba's honour on 30 June, on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of Congo's independence from Belgium. Several linked events will also be held at Brussels city hall to mark the occasion.

Racial mob violence rocks the Wisconsin State Fair
By Phil Boehmke
While Barry Soetoro was dreaming of one day being prime minister of Indonesia, America was a very different country and Milwaukee was a very different city. Each August of my youth was filled with eager anticipation of our family's trip to the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee (actually West Allis). I have such clear memories of great concerts featuring The Fifth Dimension, Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass and Liberace. There were those world famous cream puffs, salt water taffy, bratwurst, corn on the cob (hot off the grill and dipped in real butter) and an exotic new taste sensation called the corn dog. As with any fair there were rides to suit every taste and games of skill and chance on the midway where valuable prizes (how about a goldfish swimming in a beer stein) could be won.
In one of the exhibition buildings at the fair there was a miraculous display from a water softening company. For many years I marveled at the sight of a giant water faucet floating in mid-air as it poured and unending stream of crystal clear water into a huge barrel. When I was 9 or 10 years old, I stuck my hand into the stream of water only to discover that there was a clear pipe inside the gushing water feeding that same water from the barrel back up to the (no longer) magic faucet. Things were never the same after that disappointment although I still watched with amazement at the younger kids who still believed in the magic faucet.
Fast forward to 2011, America is a far different country now and Milwaukee is a far different city. The wide eyed youngsters attending the opening night of this year's Wisconsin State Fair witnessed an exhibition which will scar their memories well into old age. From WTMJ Newsradio 620:
Witnesses' accounts claim everything from dozens to hundreds of young black people beating white people as they left State Fair Thursday night.
Authorities have not given official estimates of the number of people involved in the attacks.
"It looked like they were just going after white guys, white people," said Norb Roffers of Wind Lake in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ. He left the State Fair Entrance near the corner of South 84th Street and West Schlinger Avenue in West Allis.
"They were attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever."
"It was 100% racial," claimed Eric, an Iraq war veteran from St. Francis who says young people beat on his car.
"I saw them grab this white kid who was probably 14 or 15 years old. They just flung him into the road. They just jumped on him and started beating him. They were kicking him. He was on the ground. A girl picked up a construction sign and pushed it over on top of him. They were just running by and kicking him in the face."
Milwaukee Police said that their officers were sent to State Fair Park for "complaints of battery, fighting and property damage due to a large, unruly crowd."
A police sergeant told TODAY'S TMJ4's Melissa McCrady that the number of calls describing injuries are still coming in, so they could not give an accurate number of people who were injured.
That sergeant explained that some injuries were serious, and local hospitals were attending to the injured.
As of early Friday morning, Milwaukee Police said they had no one in custody.
One woman told police that she was sitting in her car with a window down when some teenagers reached through her window and started attacking her
This is far worse than the racially motivated attacks at last year's Iowa State Fair during "beat whitey night." The dramatic and unprecedented rise in black on white violence across America has yet to be addressed by Mr. Obama or any of the leadership in Washington who are far more concerned with attacking Tea Party members as racists and terrorists than they are in facing any of the real issues which are tearing our country apart.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel local elected leaders have weighed in on this political "third rail":
Alds. Bob Donovan and Joe Dudzik issued a joint statement in reaction to the violence: "Let's face it, it also has much to do with a deteriorating African American culture in our city. Are large groups of Hispanics or Hmong going out in large mobs and violently attacking whites? No."
This incident follows the ugly Fourth of July weekend attacks in Milwaukee.
About 60 young people beat and robbed a smaller group that had been watching fireworks from Kilbourn Reservoir Park. The injured people were white, the attackers were African-American, witnesses said.
If Mr. Obama is truly concerned about our nation it is time (actually well past time) that he uses his bully's pulpit to address this growing wave of racial violence that is threatening to fundamentally transform America. Of course, I wouldn't hold my breath as this is the man who has whipped up crowds with lines like "if they bring a knife, we bring a gun." The post-racial presidency of Barack Hussein Obama has ushered in a new era of racial hatred and violence that will last long after his presidency has been consigned to the dust-bin of history, which can come none too soon if our nation is to survive .
Today I will be joining our friend Lloyd Marcus and the Tea Party Express at a rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where my fellow racists and terrorists will once again join together in peace and friendship to support our vision of a free and prosperous America where all of our citizens can attend Independence Day Fireworks, Fairs and other activities without fear of mob attack. I hope someone takes pictures of the event to send to John F. Kerry in lieu of press coverage.

As a vegetarian, I'm often told that after all, man kind is a carnivore, has always eaten meat and can't avoid eating it without any consequences. Well, I'm soon onto my third year and I haven't suffered yet. But that's off topic. The matter is, man kind is not "supposed" to be carnivore. It's rather a sense of culture. Our descendants and close relatives, the monkeys, eat vegetables as well as bugs, and they have an anatomic structure very similar to ours. In the film below, eating meat is compared to smoking – man has smoked for centuries, and he has learned that he is not adapted for it and that in the end, it may very well be the death of him. Eating meat is not only ethically wrong and wrong by natural means, it's also bad for the heart and the liver.

Glengorm Castle, also known as Castle Sorn, is a 19th-century country house on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. Located in Mishnish,  northwest of Tobermory at the end of a dead end road, the house is protected as a Category B listed building.

The Mishnish estate was purchased in 1856 by James Forsyth of Quinish. He cleared the existing township of Sorne to make way for the new house, which was completed in 1860. The name originated from Forsyth thinking that the air in the area was an odd colour, naming it "Glen Gorm" (meaning Blue Glen), but it had turned out that the blue smog was caused by the burning of the houses at Sorne.  The house was designed by Kinnear and Peddie in a Scots Baronial style. It is now operated as a guest house and wedding venue, with a café and shop in the former stables. The castle overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day the Outer Hebrides and islands of Rùm and Canna can be viewed from the castle, as well as Coll on most days. It is currently managed by the Nelson family who operate the property as bed and breakfast accommodation.

I'm not sure what kind of functionality is behind an item in the list. For me it would be nice to distinguish between Python and AppleScript repositories.

A. Hi Olivia, normally for parents and teachers it is hard to deal with ADHD children. Learning is going to be touch but possible with the help of specialist instructors. While some of them turn out to be average few of them really turn out to be rewarding students. Students with disabilities, of any kind, are a challenge to teachers. One of the students at a school that I've taught was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago. He's eight years old, and has been on medication for the last three years. Getting him to focus was, for his instructor, like pulling teeth.

Doesn't make sense
So, the tax gap.
The Government's claim that £31billion of taxes go uncollected each year is based on a misleading algorithm created for the American tax system, it can be revealed.
Revenue & Customs is now working on major changes to the calculation which could see the figures altered radically – up or down.
OK, interesting.
But there is disquiet that the use of US software could be giving a very misleading picture as America and Britain have quite different tax systems.
In the US, almost everyone fills out their own tax return, in contrast to Britain's PAYE system that taxes salaries before money is transferred to bank accounts.
Idiocy. You think they don't have withholding in the US?
previousOh, that's interesting
nextWonder what the insurance company thinks?

Has anyone else noticed that "algorithm" is en route to becoming a scare-word, much as "herd immunity" became a scare-phrase?
Andrew M September 6, 2020 at 12:25 pm
The US system is an order of magnitude more complex, so there's obviously more scope for both making innocent errors and finding sneaky loopholes. Therefore I'd expect any new calculation of the tax gap to find a lower figure.
(Out of interest, how much of our tax gap is uncollected duty on illegally imported cigarettes? Must be significant, given that nobody I know who smokes buys their cigarettes in the UK.)
Diogenes September 6, 2020 at 12:44 pm
One algorithm for calculating all uncollected taxes, each of which has its own rules? Sounds unlikely to me
PJF September 6, 2020 at 1:30 pm
This is wrong. The US has had withholding taxes (called pay-as-you-go) since 1942*. US workers are quite used to their employers deducting tax from their paychecks on behalf of state and federal government.
*One of the designers of the US system was Milton Friedman, back when he was a Keynesian on tax. He later regretted the move.
dearieme September 6, 2020 at 1:46 pm
@Andrew M: does that mean that the way to increase the tax take on fags is to reduce the tax rate?
A wee Laffer possibility? Would it work for grog too?
RichardT September 6, 2020 at 3:40 pm
There is a difference, but it's not what Murphy thinks.
In the US, although there is deduction at source by employers, most people still file a federal income tax return (I believe the deduction system is quite crude and usually takes too much because it doesn't allow for deductions, so for most people filing a return is a way of reclaimed money).
In the UK HMRC don't like dealing with people, so made the PAYE system much more complex and designed to usually collect the right amount of tax, so only a minority (I think I read that it's less than 10%) actually submit a tax return.
jgh September 6, 2020 at 3:49 pm
"algorithm" just means "method", as in, the algorithm for doing addition starts with: for each column of digits on real or imagined fingers, starting with the first number count off the second number of extra fingers, write down the units digit, if over 9 write down the tens digit in the next column to the left, move one column to the left and repeat until you run out of columns.
Ban algorithms and you ban people doing sums.
Which may be what they want.
20% VAT on £2, that'll be an extra 80p please. No, you're banned from initiating any thoughts on that, we've banned sums.
Dennis, CPA to the Gods September 6, 2020 at 3:52 pm
Oh my god, the algorithm for producing an educated guess has gone awry!
llamas September 6, 2020 at 5:40 pm
Another difference between the UK and US systems is that, while both deduct income taxes at-source, in the US system, the amount to be deducted is decided by the taxpayer, who files a W4 with the employer, telling him how much to deduct. The difference between taxes paid and taxes owed is resolved at the end of the (tax) year, with the completion and filing of a tax return.
Contrary to the assertion by RichardT, the US deduction system is not 'crude' at all, and if you want, you can peg your withholdings to exactly match your taxes. It's just that many people use the system in their own ways. Some over-withhold, in order to get a big 'refund' at the end of the year. A strange way to 'save', but it's their money. Some underwithhold, to have more cash during the year and then settle up at year-end. There's no penalty for doing this unless it's really egregious.

dearieme,
Hard to say where we are on the tobacco duty Laffer curve. We'll actually get a better measure after this year. There has been a lot less illegal / grey market tobacco over the past six months, since you can no longer ask your Bulgarian colleague to pick up a box of 200 next time he flies home on Wizz air. This in turn should mean a lot more legal tobacco was sold. We'll know how much more when the exchequer publishes the figures.
John Galt September 6, 2020 at 7:20 pm
Spud is in a bit of a bind, though. As with all lefties he hates the US, but he loves the fact that the US implements the only version of Taxation by Residence AND Citizenship. If a US Citizen or Green Card holder wants to completely get rid of their US tax obligations as well as paying what they are due they also have to renounce their citizenship / Green Card and cough up what amounts to an exit tax.
I'm sure Spud would be salivating over the ability of forcing this sort of regime on the UK.
I seem to recall there was a historical study of US taxation that showed even when tax rates where historically high and historically low, on average the amount of tax actually collected never varied far from 19% of US GDP.
The complexity of US tax law is mostly about pork barrel politics and crony capitalism, whereas in the UK the complexity of the tax law is mostly about trying to give your own client base a break and getting your opponents to pay for it. Not much of a difference, perhaps, but still a difference.
llamas, interesting, thank you. I had only come across those who had withholding at the headline tax rates and then reclaimed for the reliefs at the year end; I did not realise that was voluntary. Must be mad.
But it still means that Yanks have a closer relationship to the tax system than the largely passive Brits.

Dems really don't want to win the upcoming elections:

They had Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard in the wings giving them something fresh and different with some Reagan optimism, and they went for the "tried and tested". Michael Foot would have been proud of them.

Canadian system similar to US, I've used the standard withholding rate and had a small refund every year as you claim professional fees etc at that time. Saves the hassle of calculating a withholding amount to take into account deductions and the small amount usually covers the filing fees and weekend camping trip.
For stuff like sons university fees it's easier to claim it at end of tax year and just put the money back into his university account for the next year rather than mess around with withholding as well

Tax rates are set such that they bring in a certain amount of money, with 'uncollected' taxes being part of that equation. The government therefore collects precisely as much tax as it wishes; but not necessarily from the people it wishes.

@Andrew M
Bulgarians flying in with a carton of 200 hundred isn't they way tobacco smuggling's done. It's bulk via the shipping routes. That's probably been easier because coronapanic's meant that customs checks have been less rigorous. What might have put a crimp in the trade is at the retail end. Lockdown & then the pubs & workplaces being closed have made it more difficult to get in touch with the "fag-man".
OT but relating to a previous thread. I just got another e-mail relating to free-stuff for reviews on Amazon. Do I take them up on it or not?
Tim Worstall September 7, 2020 at 7:38 am
Why not? Report back on how it goes. What's the revenue from selling it on e-Bay etc?
"What's the revenue from selling it on e-Bay etc?"
Ah, that's the snag, Tim. I'm in Spain. Spanish don't really do EBay. What is on there is mostly businesses selling. And a lot of them are UK businesses. For private selling it'd be the Milanuncios classified site or there's some ghastly phone app I refuse to remember the name of.
Spanish don't seem to get e-commerce. But they don't seem to get the internet either. Apart from spending half their lives on Whatsap. Have you ever looked at a Spanish website? Even I can produce better. Usually they're full of broken links. Like I've said before, incompetence is a national passtime.

Given that a large chunk of the UK tax gap is VAT, I'd be rather surprised if the US methods worked very well at all 😉
If you look at the analyses, it's fairly clear that the the gap varies by tax. VAT suffers from criminal attacks, as do excise duties; self-assessment has a lot of evasion (undeclared income) and avoidance (planning), corporation tax has differences of opinion, and so on. Not that HMRC say as much, but what they don't say speaks volumes.
Diogenes September 7, 2020 at 1:56 pm
Vat carousel fraud, anyone?
djc September 7, 2020 at 3:18 pm
llamas. So US system not unlike payments by self-employed in UK. Pay estimate by installments and settle up difference on tax return.

Hurling Finals Review
August 18th, 2015 | club hurling, Hurling News
The Athletic Grounds in Armagh will play host to the Armagh county hurling finals this Sunday. The Junior final will see Sean Treacey's match up against Derrynoose at 2pm, while the senior decider between neighbours Middletown and Keady will throw in at 3.45pm.
Hurling in Armagh has long been synonymous with Middletown and Keady and Sunday's clash will no doubt draw a large crowd as the Lámh Dhearg men try to make it two senior championship titles in a row. Middletown go into the game having deposed of Armagh side Cuchulainn's in the semi-finals on a scoreline of 0-19 to 0-10, producing some of their best hurling in the second period after Dean Gaffney's inspirational penalty save late in the first half. Keady, who will be captained by the long-serving Joby Burke, go into the final having received a bye, but they will certainly be up for the challenge against their rivals.
The junior decider will see Lurgan side Sean Treacey's attempt to win the title, after falling short by the most minimum of margins in the previous two years. They put up a big score in the semi-final against Camloch's Craobh Rua and will be hoping for much of the same on Sunday. Derrynoose came through a low-scoring tactical semi-final against Killeavy to reach the final. They will look to their captain Paddy Kelly and to their other county players to show leadership on Sunday. Both sides have a great blend of youth and experience and are working hard to strengthen the native game in their respective areas.
The hurling finals have been keenly contested in recent years and this year will be no different. Expect two cracking hard-fought, tight and sporting affairs at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday. Good luck to all four clubs involved.

Hello, I'm Jessica, newborn and child portrait photographer. I'm also a momma to three beautiful kiddos, which means I have two amazing jobs! I never thought I could love photographing babies more, until I had my own. Capturing every detail, from those long eyelashes to their perfect toes, and looking back at how tiny they were as they grow to be toddlers and teens has made me even more passionate about what I do. It is so important to capture those fleeting moments, so as your photographer, it is my honor to preserve those precious details.
As a full service studio, my goal is to create an amazing experience and product. I am passionate about creating images that are more than just photos, but art you can hang on your walls, and gorgeous products you can share with family and friends and pass down to your children. I strive to make your entire experience, from booking your session to receiving your custom artwork, a professional and enjoyable one. I will work extensively with you to plan the details of your session and guide you through choosing products to fit your needs. I absolutely love every moment I get to pick up my camera and photograph these precious, sweet little wonders, and I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!


Here are some foods which are ready for harvest in August and some dishes you can enjoy them in.
Most if not all of the vegetables that are ready in July are still available in August plus some new ones e.g. Kohlrabi. Of course this will also vary by location and season!
Cucamelons are grape-sized 'watermelons' that taste of pure cucumber with a tinge of lime.

The National Association of REALTORS® 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reports that 95 percent of today's buyers start their home search process online, compared with only 2 percent in 1995. We all know having an online presence is critical for real estate professionals; however, agent profiles are so commonplace that potential clients may find it difficult to determine what sets you apart. Connect with more clients by establishing an online content program. Through blog posts, social media channels, e-newsletters and video posts, you can position yourself as the go-to source for information about a particular geographic area, niche market, home-buying basics, or a combination of all three.
An online content program allows you to market your services to consumers at all stages of the home-buying process. Those just beginning to consider purchasing a home will look online for information about new cities or neighborhoods. Those who are further along in their journey will benefit from resources about schools and tips for moving. Current homeowners might benefit from information about home maintenance and remodeling projects. Carefully planning your posts is critical to your content program's success. If you can anticipate the questions buyers are most likely to search for, you can create useful and educational content that will make a true impact with potential clients. Whether they're looking to buy now or in the future, they'll associate you with knowledgeable, helpful service.
While this approach to marketing can be very successful, it does require an ongoing time commitment. Before you begin, carefully consider who should be responsible for creating content and maintaining your online presence. Streamline the process by deciding on an editorial calendar and scheduling posts ahead of time. Aim for the right mix of topics to appeal to the different facets of your audience. Incorporate a mix of timely local events and seasonal topics with evergreen subjects that maintain popularity throughout the years. Establishing your calendar in advance enables you to work on posts as your schedule allows, rather than at the last minute.
Finally, keep in mind that your online content program doesn't have to be solely comprised of original material. NAR members have access to REALTOR® Content Resource, which provides shareable articles on many aspects of homeownership. You can also share links from sites like www.homebuying.realtor, the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council's consumer-focused site, aimed at helping demystify the buying process while educating readers on the importance of working with an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®).
While it takes time and effort to develop a content program, establishing your voice online can result in benefits for years to come. You will connect with clients who value your expertise and insight and look to you as a respected source for their future real estate needs.
Marc D. Gould is vice president, Business Specialties, for NAR and executive director of REBAC. A wholly-owned subsidiary of NAR, The Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) is the world's largest association of real estate professionals focusing specifically on representing the real estate buyer. With more than 30,000 active members, REBAC awards the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation to REALTORS® who work directly with buyer-clients.

Remember the storm of 1941: Tales of loss, luck survive to be told 70 years later
Editor's note: This article was originally published in 2011.
When Howard Treichel was younger, he sometimes stopped to gaze at a small plaque on the wall of his family's living room.
For years, he was too young to read the words enshrined upon it: "Our darling."
But when he got older, he asked his parents about it.
That's when they told him about his brother, Willard, who died in the big snowstorm of March, 15, 1941.
Treichel was 3 years old on that Saturday when his parents drove the family to Ada, Minn., for the day.
The storm struck that evening as the family drove from Ada to their farmhouse a few miles outside of town.
When his parents told him the story years later, details were few, but dramatic.
The blizzard arrived with such fury that Treichel's father had difficulty finding the turnoff to their farm.
Then the car stalled about a half mile from home.
Treichel said his father and an older brother carried him and a younger brother to the farmhouse.
A fire was started, and the house was beginning to warm when his father again braved the storm to return to his wife and Willard, 6, who waited in the car.
On the trip back to the house, the trio had trouble finding their way.
At one point, the little boy's cap blew off.
"My dad went to reach for the cap," Treichel said, recalling the story.
"That's when Willard was suffocated, because it (the wind) took all his breath out of him.
"I don't think my dad knew that until he got home,'' added Treichel, who now lives in the Twin Cities.
Tragedies avoided
Bernice Peihl was about 13 years old in March 1941 when she, along with a sister and two cousins, made the mile-long walk to their grandparents' house near Mose, N.D., northwest of Cooperstown, to attend a birthday party for another cousin.
"It was a beautiful day, really mild," recalled Peihl, who now lives in Arthur, N.D.
When the birthday party was over, the youngsters made the trek back home.
As Peihl remembers it, they had no sooner made it through the door "when the wind hit just like a wall. You could not see anything at all."
Peihl holds no illusions about what their fate would have been if the wind had arrived minutes sooner.
"We never would have made it," she said. "We were not very old."
On that same day, Peihl's father, uncle, aunt and one of her sisters traveled to Cooperstown.
The blizzard hit as that group was on the road heading for home.
Instead of pushing their luck, they turned around and drove back to the last town they had passed.
"My dad called my mom on the phone and said, 'We're safe in Glenfield,' and the phone went dead," Peihl said.
Getting the call was a blessing, she added, because phone service wasn't restored until two days later.
"The Good Lord was with us that night," said Peihl, who witnessed other powerful weather phenomenon over the years, including a windstorm that struck Mose a few years later, blowing the town elevator from its foundation.
"The elevator moved 9 feet without tipping over in that July wind," she said. "The elevator slid along the ground. It was just out of this world."
While weather has been a tragic factor in the life of his family, Treichel said it now plays an important role in the life of his son, Jon.
"He's a spotter for storms," Treichel said. "Last summer, he was running around watching for tornadoes."

Extending Burglary to Vehicles
The term "burglary" usually conjures thoughts of a darkened house in the middle of the night, but under Florida law, a burglary can also occur within motorized vehicles. An NBC News affiliate is reporting that these thefts are on the rise in some areas of South Florida, including Palm Beach and Martin County. The most common locations for these crimes are store parking lots, but there are even reports of incidents occurring within gated communities. A vehicle burglary conviction can carry serious consequences, so the assistance of an experienced lawyer is vital to mounting a successful defense.
Some examples of vehicle burglary charges include a recent report about a father and son who were arrested in Palm Beach on allegations that they stole musical equipment from a vehicle, with an approximate value of $2,000. Authorities allege that the individuals broke a window in the car in order to remove the speakers. In another reported incident, Leon County Sheriff's Department recently arrested two individuals for their alleged connection with more than 50 reports of vehicle burglary, as reported by an ABC News affiliate.
What is a Vehicle Burglary?
Florida Criminal Statute 810.2 defines burglary as "entering or remaining in a dwelling, a structure, or a conveyance with the intent to commit an offense therein, unless the premises are at the time open to the public or the defendant is licensed or invited to enter or remain." Inclusion of the term "conveyance" expands the statute to entail a variety of motor vehicles, such as:
Cars;
Trailers;
Airplanes; and
Railroad cars.
Any individual who enters into a conveyance with the intention of committing a crime may face charges of vehicle burglary. In order to gain a conviction, the state must not only prove that the accused did enter the vehicle, but also that it was done with the intention of committing a crime. While theft is the most common intended crime, vehicle burglary is also applicable to other crimes, such as assault or battery.
Vehicle burglary is classified as a third degree felony. The maximum penalty is five years imprisonment, with up to $5,000 in court levied fines. If a person is injured during the commission of the crime, the state may upgrade the charge to a first degree felony with a maximum punishment of life imprisonment. This may also occur if a dangerous weapon is involved in the burglary, whether the accused brought the weapon along or it was found inside of the vehicle.
Defending a Vehicle Burglary Charge
An experienced lawyer can mount a viable defense against a vehicle burglary charge. Some possible theories include the consent of the owner for the accused to enter the vehicle. An lawyer may also argue that the defendant did not intend to commit any crime once inside the vehicle, which is an essential element of the crime.
If you or a loved one is facing vehicle burglary charges, our lawyers can provide you with an aggressive and comprehensive defense. Contact the Miami law firm of Ratzan & Faccidomo, LLC today at (305) 330-3905 for a confidential and free consultation.

Q: Android does not exit doze mode when moving with device So some background, i am developing a location tracking application. I have a service running that gets gps updates using the fused location provider. When the app is closed or the device is locked my service is moved to the foreground. It also uses a partial wakelock and is whitelisted.
I am under the impression that a device should exit doze mode if it moves. As stated in this answer here. However i am seeing inconsistent results on different devices. I have three test devices. A sony experia, a moto e4 plus and a nexus 5x. The application works great on the sony and the nexus. I leave it idle, doze mode kicks in and then when i move the device it exits doze mode and gps updates start again. Which is great because i do not need gps updates when the device is stationary, it would just waste battery life. Just for clarity the different android version for each device are:
Sony Xperia: 7.0
Moto E4 plus: 7.1.1
Nexus 5X: 8.0

The issue is with the moto, i leave the device to enter doze mode. However upon picking it up and moving with it, it does not exit doze mode. It only exits doze mode with some user interaction. After looking through other answers and androids documentation am i correct in assuming that moving the device should always results in it existing from doze mode. If that is the case is this more likely to be a hardware issue, or can the OEM change how doze mode should work?
Thank you for any help.

A: So android needs to be able to detect motion in order to leave doze mode. The moto does not have a gyroscope. This stops it detecting the movement and exiting doze mode.

A: For having this feature working, the manufacturer should have been implemented the "Significant Motion sensor". You can check if this sensor is available by asking if this sensor exists: "android.sensor.significant_motion".
SensorManager mSensorManager = (SensorManager) mContext.getSystemService(Service.SENSOR_SERVICE);
boolean isSensorPresent = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION) != null;

Apart of this, there is also some manufacturers that bypass the Doze mode rules with their own power management system. It is the case for some of the phone manufactured by Huawei & Xiaomi for example.
In those cases, it is possible to stop the manufacturer power manager system to suspend your application. But it has to be done manually by the user.
