WWF is saddened by the death of Magayane Bazirushaka, a Virunga National Park ranger in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who was killed when a foot patrol was ambushed on Friday, April 8. The 15-member patrol was on the lookout for illegal charcoal production in the national park, famed as one of the last refuges of the critically endangered mountain gorilla.
A group of uniformed FDLR Rwandan militia, an illegal movement believed to include perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide of 1994, opened fire on the rangers and Magayane took a bullet in the pelvis. The militia fled when the rangers returned fire. Magayane was carried back to the closest village where park trucks waited, but he died shortly after. His funeral took place on Saturday in his home village of Jomba.
Tourist treks to the volcano have been closed for a week while major patrol operations attempt to clear the area of the FDLR threat. Park rangers and regular army units have been working together to secure the area within the national park known to be heavily frequented by the militia and had destroyed two FDLR camps that were also centers for the illegal and destructive charcoal trade.
Some 400 park rangers protect Virunga National Park in eastern DRC, a region affected by a 12-year civil war and political instability. The park is home to mountain gorillas, lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants and rhinos, among other wildlife. The rangers have remained active in protecting these parks, four of which have been classified as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Poaching, wildlife trafficking and habitat destruction remain the key threats to the survival of the wildlife in the park.
In January, three other park rangers and five Democratic Republic of Congo soldiers were killed in another ambush attributed to FDLR. More than 140 rangers have died in the line of duty since 1996 protecting Virunga National Park. A fund has been set up to help support the widows and children of rangers killed protecting the park. The Virunga Widows' Fund can be found at www.gorilla.cd.
WWF is a long term supporter of the management of the park through the Congolese Wildlife Authority (Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature, ICCN).

It's digital! E-book rentals lighten costs — and backpacks — for App State students

In summer 2021, App State's textbook rental program launched a new digital delivery system that provides equitable access, convenience, sustainability and savings to most students.

"With this improvement, our rental program has become state of the art, providing even more value for our students and aligning with our goal of providing equal access for all to the premier public undergraduate institution in the Southeast."
App State's textbook rental program — only the second of its kind in the country — provides even more value for students.
Obtain textbooks and course materials
The University Bookstore's textbook rental program provides every undergraduate student at App State access to textbooks and course materials — digitally and/or physically.
It also provides a list of textbooks and materials for each course. Students may order online by visiting Find Textbooks and Course Materials.

Posted Aug. 13, 2021 at 11:42 a.m.
BOONE, N.C. — The textbook rental program at Appalachian State University has gone digital, offering students significant savings and value. App State students can now read and download textbooks and class materials on their tablets and phones, improving the accessibility and volume of material available via the university's popular textbook rental program, which has been in place since 1938.
"We seek every opportunity to improve the teaching and learning experience," said App State Chancellor Sheri Everts. "Our textbook rental program is one of the oldest in the country and has helped improve access to course materials for more than 80 years. With this improvement, our rental program has become state of the art, providing even more value for our students and aligning with our goal of providing equal access for all to the premier public undergraduate institution in the Southeast."
Through the program — only the second of its kind in the nation — students will pay a flat rate of $250 each semester that covers required textbooks and learning materials. Before, the program covered one physical book per course and cost $156 per semester.
Across the University of North Carolina System, the average cost of books and supplies for full-time undergraduate students was $1,113 in the 2019–20 academic year, according to the System's estimated cost of attendance figures.
Approximately 70%–80% of course materials are available in digital form; titles that are not will be available in hard copy. Students who wish to have a printed copy of a textbook have a few options available.
John Eckman, associate vice chancellor for campus services, explained that in the past, some students who had to buy extra books and course materials would choose to delay buying or not order at all. "Without the materials, students fell behind," Eckman said, adding that e-books give students equitable access to most course materials.
More than 6,800 students participated in the program during App State's 2021 Summer Sessions. Only 2% opted out.
Sustainable, flexible access
Benefits of the digital program include:
Students arrive on the first day of class with access to course materials already in place.
Students can access content anywhere, anytime — including offline.
Digital books are ADA compliant and accommodate screen readers or font enlargement.
Digital books lighten a student's load.
Digital books are sustainable, requiring no physical delivery, packing materials or labor, nor do they contribute to landfill waste.
The rental program is optional each semester for each student. Students who have internships or limited need for materials during a term may choose to opt out. Others might want to buy and keep their materials for future reference.
The Appalachian State University Bookstore is the best place to buy official App State gear. From clothing and gifts to books and school supplies, we have everything a true Mountaineer needs!

Jens Income Team Review – The Return of The "Easy Kits" Scam
Born & raised in England, Dale is the founder of Living More Working Less & he has been making a living from his laptop ever since leaving his job as an electrician back in 2012. Now he shares what he's learned to help others do the same... [read more]
Jens Income Team is the name of a new website that promises to provide you with access to an easy way to begin making money with e-commerce sales, even if you're just a beginner.
Jen, (known only as Jennifer C), claims that you'll become part of her "team" & that you'll begin making money with her as soon as you do. She even claims that you will be able to earn over $1,000 per day.
But is Jens Income Team legit?
Or is it just a scam that's set out to part you with your hard-earned cash?
Well, the good news is that you've landed in exactly the right place to find out as I have personally taken a closer look into it & in this Jens Income Team review I'll be uncovering everything you need to know.
What Is Jens Income Team? | Who Is Jen? | How Does Jens Income Team Work? | The Red Flags | Is Jens Income Team a Scam? | A Better Alternative
What Is Jens Income Team?
As I briefly touched on above, Jens Income Team is the name of a new website & it essentially promises to provide you with access to a really easy way to begin making money online.
In fact, you're almost led to believe that Jen will be doing most of the work for you & that as a part of her team, you'll just be able to sit back & relax as the income starts pouring in.
Basically, it's being sold as "the dream"… And all throughout the promotional video there are several so-called testimonials from other members who are allegedly seeing profits of over $1,000 per day from the system.
But there's a catch… And that catch is that in order to find out more about the system & to learn how it all actually works, you need to first hand over some of your own hard-earned cash.
And that right there is one of the biggest telltale signs of a get-rich-quick scam.
Get-rich-quick scams promise to provide easy ways to make money but require you to hand over your own cash first, then simply leave you to find out the hard way after handing over your cash that they don't really work as promised.
And Jens Income Team is no different.
I'll explain how it all really works in just a moment but first before I do, let's take a look at who "Jen" actually is.

Who Is Jen?
The entire program is based around a lady named Jen, hence the name Jens Income Team – but who actually is this mysterious "Jen"?
Well, through the entire promotional video, there is absolutely no information provided about the lady that's allegedly behind the system, other than that provided in the screenshot shown below:
So, known only as "Jen" or "Jennifer C", mysterious Jen stays pretty mysterious… Which I think you'll agree, is pretty suspicious.
What's "Jen" hiding from?
Why doesn't she want people to know her real name?
Well, as you'll soon see below the answer is because she's essentially conning people. Her so-called "Income Team" isn't legit & the majority of the members that sign up are just going to lose money.
Meanwhile, Jen will be profiting at their expense.
But you don't just have to take my word for it, instead, keep on reading & I'll explain how it all really works below.
How Does Jens Income Team Work?
If you've come across Jens Income Team then you'll have probably already noticed that it makes several mentions of e-commerce throughout the promotional video.
As a result, you may be tricked into believing that it's a legitimate system that will teach you how to launch an online e-commerce business.
But unfortunately, it's not.
Instead, Jens Income Team is actually just the return of an old scam named the Easy Kits scam.
I figured that out after looking at the Terms & Conditions page & noticing that it made reference to the Easy Kits website for "support" at the very bottom, as shown below:
In short, the Easy Kits scam is simply built upon false promises. The people behind it launch systems (like Jens Income Team) that promise to provide you with easy ways to make money, but in reality, they don't.
The truth is that the systems have just been designed to enable Easy Kits to suck as much money from you as they possibly can.
This means that if you were to buy into Jens Income Team (which I obviously don't recommend doing), then you would simply find yourself faced with upsell after upsell.
And once you had finally gone through all of the upsells, you'd just be left to find out that the whole thing doesn't really work as promised.
Then, when you complain & ask for a refund, you'll be told that "you didn't work hard enough".
Not good.
I actually wrote quite an in-depth review on how the Easy Kits scam works right here. I'd recommend checking it out if you want to learn more about exactly how it all works.
But, in short, it basically doesn't work.
None of the people buying into Jens Income Team will actually find themselves making money. Instead, they'll just find themselves making the people behind it richer at their own expense.
And that's something you definitely don't want to do.

The Red Flags
Well, first there's the obvious red flag which is the fact that it simply sounds way too good to be true. As the good old saying goes, "if something sounds too good to be true – it probably is".
In the instance of Jens Income Team, it most definitely is.
There is simply NO way that you will find yourself earning money as a result of buying into the Jens Income Team program. It's built to make its creators wealthier, not you.
The second red flag is the fact that there is no information to be found about "Jen" whatsoever.
And worse yet, the disclaimer that is shown at the beginning of the video basically says "everything you're shown is fake":
Disclaimer that is shown at the beginning of Jens Income Team promotional video
If the system was legitimate, why would the creator need to hide?
Why would they need to create falsified testimonials?
And why would they show statistics that are not representative of their customers?
The answer is simple. It's because they're trying to trick you.
And on that note, you've probably also noticed the false scarcity that's being used on the website too. At the very top of the page, they claim that applications are closing the same day (as shown below):
False scarcity banner displayed on Jens Income Team website
But that's BS.
I came across the system 3 days ago & it said that it was closing on the 27th. It's now the 30th & it's still open, and it will be tomorrow & the day after too.
The people behind it are just trying to do their best to rush you into signing up so that you don't look for reviews because they know that if you look for reviews, you'll find out it's a scam.
Don't be fooled by the tricks.
Is Jens Income Team a Scam?
Yes, as far as I'm concerned, Jens Income Team is a scam.
Despite what the website promoting it claims, the program has not really been designed to help you make money & if you buy into it, it will be very unlikely that you do actually make money.
Instead, the program has simply been designed to sucker you into spending as much money as possible on "training" so that the people behind the program can get wealthy at your expense.
And that's the reason the program is hiding its true name.
The real name of the program is Easy Kits, but because of all of the bad reviews surrounding Easy Kits, the creators have built the Jens Income Team website to trick more people into signing up.
Don't fall for it.
There are many legitimate ways that you can earn money online, but Jens Income Team is not one of them.
Instead, if you still want to earn good money online I would recommend you check out affiliate marketing. It's one of my all-time recommended methods for earning money online & it's great for beginners.
If you would like to learn more about it (and find out how to get started), you can check out my free guide here.
But whatever you decide to do, I simply hope that my review of Jens Income Team here has given you a good insight into how the program really works & I hope that it has helped you to avoid it.
Feel free to leave any questions or comments below.
A Better Alternative
The sad truth is that unfortunately most of the programs promising to help you make money online are scams. I can say that confidently after exposing over 500+ of them here on this blog.
But the good news is that even though most of them are indeed scams, there are actually some very good programs in amongst them - some programs that can truly help you to earn money.
And out of all of the legit programs I've seen, the one I would recommend the most to anybody looking to get started online is Commission Academy. In my own opinion, that's the best place to start.
At Commission Academy, you'll be provided with everything you need (including the training & tools) to begin earning real money by promoting products or services for companies like Amazon online.
The best part is that there's literally no limit on the amount you can earn with it & the process is pretty simple which means that it's absolutely perfect for people that don't have much experience.
Some wealthy affiliates even earn as much as 5-figures per month... Or more!
I mean don't get me wrong, that kind of money won't just fall into your lap without doing any work... But the harder you're willing to work at it, the more you stand to earn with it.
So if you're looking to get started but don't know which route you should go down or which program you should join (and don't want to waste money on bogus things that don't actually work), then I'd highly recommend checking out Commission Academy first. You can learn more about it here.

Trump fires Mattis early, Shanahan to take over Jan. 1

WASHINGTON — Just days after Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced he would step down from that post in late February, President Donald Trump announced he would push the popular Cabinet member out even earlier.
In a tweet Sunday morning, Trump announced that Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan will become acting secretary of defense starting Jan. 1. He praised the Pentagon's second-in-command as having "a long list of accomplishments" and added, "He will be great!"
The move cuts short Mattis' tenure by two months, and adds to an acrimonious end of the relationship between the commander in chief and his top military leader.
On Thursday, Mattis in a resignation letter told Trump he was making the move to allow the president to find "a secretary of defense whose views are better aligned with yours."
He said his February departure date was designed to minimize disruption on the department during the leadership transition.
But Mattis' criticism of Trump's national security policies in the letter — in opposition to his announced withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria and his past negative comments towards U.S. foreign allies — clearly irked Trump, leading to the early dismissal.
On Saturday, Trump appeared to fire back at Mattis on social media, tweeting that "when President Obama ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. Some thought I shouldn't, I thought I should."
In a statement after Sunday's announcement, Defense Department spokesman Army Col. Rob Manning said only that "the secretary of defense serves at the pleasure of the president. The department remains focused on national security."
Mattis remains popular among lawmakers on Capitol Hill and the armed forces. A Military Times poll conducted in late September found that nearly 84 percent of troops had a favorable view of his work leading the armed forces. Among officers, the figure was almost 90 percent.
But Mattis' relationship with Trump had appeared to sour in recent months as the president pushed for more aggressive military policies.
Pentagon officials appeared caught unaware by sudden decisions made in the Oval Office on forming a new Space Force, sending troops to the southern U.S. border, and banning transgender recruits from the ranks.
Most recently, Trump's decisions to begin massive troop withdrawals in the Middle East and Afghanistan seemed to go against military commanders' advice.
Shanahan, who is among the candidates to permanently replace Mattis, is now in a position to drive changes he's championed as Mattis' deputy.
The former Boeing executive in his current role has pushed for systemic changes to the acquisition system that pushes the Pentagon's focus away from annual budget cycles and more on making programs successful.
"Too often we focus on process, or budget, or level of effort," Shanahan told Defense News in an earlier interview. "The Pentagon should focus on outcomes and outputs — our performance. This focus on performance should drive us to field unmatched lethality, execute on our modernization plans and achieve this affordably."
He has also focused on eliminating duplicative programs — for example, situations where the Army and Air Force both have a need for a similar system and develop unique solutions on their own, rather than joining up and creating a single system that can be used department-wide.
In the past, services have pushed back on that idea because of the unique needs of, say, a Navy system designed to go to sea and survive the elements and sea-salt air, or an Army system designed to work on land.
Shanahan has risen to the top of the list of likely successors to permanently replace the now-fired Mattis, partly because of his business background and good relationships with both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
But Shanahan has clashed with some in the Pentagon who say he's is too focused on having meetings, sucking up staff time without having many concrete victories to point to, according to officials who have worked with him who spoke to Defense News.

Mel Gibson and John Lithgow Might Join The 'Daddy's Home' Sequel; Release Date Announced
Posted on Tuesday, January 31st, 2017 by Jack Giroux
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are returning for a Daddy's Home sequel. Who's possibly joining them? John Lithgow and Mel Gibson. There's no word if Lithgow and Gibson would, say, play Ferrell and Wahlberg's characters' parents, although you could easily imagine them going that route. We'll see what happens, but right now their casting appears as a strong possibility.
Below, learn more about the Daddy's Home sequel.
According to Deadline, Daddy's Home 2 will open in theaters on November 10th. It's a busy month, of course, but Daddy's Home fared just fine going up against Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the box-office in 2015. The charming PG-13 comedy made over $240 million worldwide on a budget of $50 million. This time director Sean Anders' (Sex Drive) film comes out the same weekend as Francis Lawrence's spy thriller, Red Sparrow, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton.
Deadline also learned offers are out to Gibson and Lithgow for Daddy's Home 2. The outlet writes that deals are looking promising, but there's no information on their roles. The first film left the door open for a sequel with a certain cameo at the end (which we won't spoil), but it's unconfirmed whether that character would be coming back.
The first movie stars Ferrell as Brad, who loves the responsibilities that come with being the stepfather to two children. Once the two kids finally start warming up to him, their biological father, Dusty (Wahlberg), returns to stir up trouble. The two men try to see who can win the children's affection. The sequel's premise is currently unknown. It's also unknown how much of Daddy's Home supporting cast — which included Linda Cardellini, Thomas Haden Church, Hannibal Buress, and Bobby Cannavalee — are coming back. Fingers crossed Buress returns, because every time the comedian appears in Daddy's Home, it improves.
Lithgow and Gibson could certainly help to bring more laughs to the sequel. Lithgow's comedic timing is pure magic. When you revisit episodes of 3rd Rock from the Sun, it's astonishing how rarely Lithgow's jokes miss their mark. That great series is hardly the only time The Crown star has cracked us up, though. The Hacksaw Ridge director, who's riding high off some Oscar nominations, recently showed he hadn't lost his comedic touch in the exceptional B-movie, Blood Father, which features a cranky and wisecracking Gibson. It's been a few years since we've seen him star in a studio film, let alone a studio comedy, so his career looks like it's received some help from the success of Hacksaw Ridge.
Daddy's Home 2 opens in theaters November 10th.

If you are always running late in the morning, a few changes to your morning routine and adding in some helpful products to your beauty routine might be just what you need. Here are 10 Amazing Beauty Products That'll Help You Get Ready Faster!
These are are few of my favorite beauty supplies and I've found to help me get ready faster in the morning when I was a full-time working mom AND as a stay at home mom. Some of these items are basic beauty supplies, but I'm listing the exact products that I use that is high quality and will last you several years.
One of the easiest ways to save time during your morning routine is to skip washing your hair. I only wash my hair twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) and have been doing since I became a mom in 2010. The trick to not having oily, greasy hair after a few days of not washing is to use dry shampoo!
I make my own dry shampoo (find the recipe here) but I've used this brand and this brand which are both affordable and can be found at your local drug store.
I try to curl my hair at least once a week (usually, the day after I wash it). However, many irons take 5-10 minutes to heat up.
I use this curling wand which is a great price compared to similar ones and it heats up fast so I'm able to have beautiful curls in minutes.
For those super fast mornings, just do the sock bun style! I keep a few of these sock buns handy to use for high buns, low buns, and half up/half down buns.
Bobby pins are a necessity for any length hair and are great for using to twist hair back. I use bobby pins in messy buns, braids, and other fun hairstyles.
Make sure you have a variety of small and large bobby pins (like these and like these) in coordinating colors to match your hair.
This kit is a must-have if you do your make up in the car or on-the-go. It has everything to create a solid foundation for your face. Just add eyeliner and lipstick for ultrafast makeup!
If you don't have time for makeup, applying some BB or CC cream will enhance your complexion. I've used this one for years, which evens out my skin tone and I can get away with some power and eyeliner after applying for a natural look.
When you don't have time to paint your nails (or visit a salon) a quick-dry nail polish in a fun color is all you need. My favorite fast-drying nail polish is this one. You can't beat the cost of this polish either!
If you hate ironing (or just don't have time for it) you need some wrinkle releaser spray. You can find a small bottle (like these) in the travel toiletries section at your local drug store which should last you a while.
Lastly, make sure you have a beauty emergency kit for true emergencies. I have this one and it's small enough to fit in the palm of my hand and contains things like a sewing kit, clear nail polish, nail file, earring backs, stain remover, tampons, and much more.

My degree actually possesses two majors, Biology and Wildlife Ecology & Conservation. I recently graduated from college with a GPA of 3.83, am currently a full-time beekeeper, and am also looking to work part-time as a tutor, primarily in biology. Though, there are definitely other subjects in which I can prove to be helpful.
I have tutored high school students in primarily Spanish, French, and Geometry. During college, I also worked as a General Laboratory Assistant for two courses, General Biology and Principles of Biology, where I aided in educating University students about biological concepts, techniques, and statistics.
The duties of my position include inspecting hives, growing hives, testing for diseases or parasites, treating diseases or parasites, harvesting honey, surveying land, developing apiaries, and educating the public.
Aiding in the education of college students to better understand concepts, techniques, and statistics used in the biological sciences.
This was a summer position. I was responsible for communicating with customers face-to-face, often over the phone, and sometimes by email, to order correct RV merchandise to the store. From there, I created their work orders, and scheduled their installations (costing up to $10,000) in an organized and timely manner.
This was a summer volunteer position. I performed physically demanding work, working ten hour days for eight days at a time. Half the time working on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, my jobs involved invasive species removal, cabin restoration, trail building, archaeological site preservation, fuels reduction, and cross-cut logging.

Дом Фаберже — ювелирная компания, основанная в 1842 году в Российской империи, получившая известность благодаря изготовлению знаменитых яиц Фаберже для русской царской семьи. С 2007 года бренд «Фаберже» принадлежит компании Fabergé Ltd.

История семьи
История семьи Фаберже ведет свои истоки из Франции XVII века, под фамилией Фаври. Фаври жили в регионе Пикардия, в северной Франции. Из-за религиозных преследований в 1685 году они покинули Францию.

Документы из семейного архива Фаберже гласят, что фамилия изменялась сначала на Фабри, затем на Фабрьер и, в конечном счете, в 1825 на Фаберже. Во второй половине XVIII века Жан Фаври работал в качестве плантатора табака. В 1800 году ремесленник Пьер Фаври обосновался в городе Пернау (Пярну) Ливонии (Эстонии).

В 1814 году родился Густав Фаберже. В 1830-х он приехал в Санкт-Петербург, чтобы обучиться ювелирному делу у Андреаса Фердинанда Шпигеля, который специализировался на изготовлении золотых шкатулок. В 1841 году он получил звание мастера ювелирного дела.

Начало

В 1842 году Густав Фаберже открыл свой первый ювелирный магазин на Большой Морской улице. Новый магазин сразу стал успешным по двум причинам: во-первых, он находился в фешенебельном центре Петербурга, а во-вторых, Россия переживала в то время галломанию.

В 1846 году у Густава Фаберже и Шарлотты Юнгштедт родился сын Петер Карл Фаберже, более известный как Карл Фаберже.

Карл Фаберже получил начальное образование в гимназии Святой Анны. Это была известная гимназия для детей низших слоев дворянства. В 1860 году Густав Фаберже оставил своё дело в руках управляющих и уехал вместе с семьей в Дрезден, где молодой Карл продолжил обучение в Хандельшулле. В возрасте 18 лет он отправился в тур и повидал множество известных ювелиров Франции, Германии, Англии, посетил галереи и лучшие музеи Европы.

В 1872 году Карл вернулся в Петербург в возрасте 26 лет. В течение 10 лет управляющий компании «Фаберже» был его наставником и учителем, однако в 1882 году он умер и Карл взял управление компанией на себя. В этом же году произошло два важных события: он был награждён званием мастера ювелирных дел, Агафон Фаберже, младший из сыновей, присоединился к семейному делу.

Популярность

В то время, как Карл занимался реставрацией экспонатов Эрмитажа, компания Фаберже была приглашена на одну из основных русских выставок в Москве. Одним из экспонатов, которые были представлены на выставке компанией стал браслет IV века до н. э. На что Александр III сказал, что не может отличить копию от оригинала и работа Фаберже должна быть в Эрмитаже как пример мастерства русских ювелиров. В 1885 году компания стала официальным изготовителем ювелирных украшений для императорского дома. Фаберже также был официальным поставщиком королей Швеции и Норвегии, а также Сиама.

На Всемирной выставке в Париже в 1900 году была представлена продукция Фаберже. Она произвела неизгладимое впечатление на европейских ювелиров. Однако фирма осталась без наград, так как сам Фаберже был членом жюри и не мог оценивать свою продукцию.

В 1903 году был открыт магазин в Лондоне. Только через английский филиал было продано более 10 тысяч изделий фирмы.

После Революции
В 1918 году компания Фаберже была национализирована большевиками. В начале октября Карл Фаберже покинул Петербург и отправился в Ригу. Однако, в середине месяца революция настигла и Латвию, Карл был вынужден вновь вернуться в Германию. Тем временем большевики арестовали его сыновей: Агафона и Александра, но мадам Фаберже с младшим сыном Евгением удалось бежать в Финляндию.

В Германии Карл Фаберже серьёзно заболел. В июне 1920 года Евгений увез его в Швейцарию, где уже находились другие члены семьи. 24 сентября Карл скончался в Лозанне. Спустя почти 5 лет умерла и его жена. В это же время Александру удалось покинуть пределы СССР, но Агафон оставался в стране до 1927 года.

После Второй мировой войны
После революции семья Фаберже потеряла связь. Евгений и Александр поселились в Париже и основали компанию Fabergé & Cie. После окончания Второй мировой войны они узнали, что Сэм Рабин в 1937 году основал в США компанию Fabergé Inc и производит парфюмерию под брендом Фаберже, а также зарегистрировал товарный знак Fabergé для производства украшений. Долгие судебные процессы были невыгодны семье, поэтому был заключен договор, по которому торговый знак Fabergé может использоваться только для производства парфюма. В 1964 году Сэм Рабин продал свою компанию за 26 миллионов. Компания так и переходила из рук в руки, пока в 1989 году Unilever не купила её за 1,55 миллиона. В том же году на место главного ювелира был принят Виктор Майер. В 2007 году южноафриканский бизнесмен Брайан Гилбертсон (экс-президент компаний «СУАЛ-Холдинг» и BHP Billiton) приобрел все права на бренд Faberge у компании Unilever за 38 миллионов долларов.

Ювелирные изделия «Фаберже» в наши дни
27 ноября 2007 года одно из яиц «Фаберже» было продано на аукционе Кристис за 9 миллионов фунтов стерлингов, таким образом став самым дорогим русским ювелирным изделием.
Сегодня Пасхальное яйцо Ротшильдов можно увидеть в постоянной экспозиции Музея Фаберже в Баден-Бадене, где кроме него представлено ещё около 700 исторических экспонатов фирмы «Фаберже».

На аукционах представлены не только пасхальные яйца фирмы "Фаберже". В 2005 году на торгах "Сотбис" в Нью-Йорке были проданы несколько редких резных фигурок из драгоценных и полудрагоценных камней.  Их цена варьировалась в пределах $850 000 - 1 800 000.

В 2011 году фирма возобновила работу. Подготовлена оригинальная коллекция из 12 подвесок, символизирующих месяцы в году.

Музей Фаберже
С 2013 года в Санкт-Петербурге в Шуваловском дворце, на Набережной реки Фонтанки, 21, выставлена крупнейшая в мире постоянно действующая музейная экспозиция изделий компании Фаберже. Коллекция включает более 1000 единиц хранения изделий Фаберже, включая 9 уникальных пасхальных яиц, созданных Карлом Фаберже для двух последних русских императоров. Основу коллекции составляют предметы собранные частным культурно-историческим фондом «Связь времен».

Памятник Густаву Фаберже.
Памятник Густаву Фаберже установлен в Пярну 3 января 2015 года в год 200-летия со дня его рождения. Бронзовую скульптуру подарил городу Александр Тензо, основатель ювелирного дома TENZO. Авторы композиции Александр Тензо и Владислав Яковский. Скульптор Евгений Бурков.

Установка монумента проходила при поддержке Пярнусского Общества Фаберже в лице Тийны Оясте и Тоомаса Кутера.

Stuck Valve on Space Station Perplexes NASA
All 13 Expedition 23 and STS-131 crew members gather in the Kibo module of the International Space Station for the joint crew news conference on April 14, 2010.
(Image: © NASA TV)
This story was updated at 12:03 p.m. ET
NASA engineers are still perplexed by a stuck valve in the International Space Station's cooling system and may even add an extra spacewalk to fix it to the mission of shuttle Discovery astronauts, who celebrated a much-needed day off in orbit Wednesday while delivering tons of supplies to the orbiting lab.
The stubborn space valve is inside a new ammonia coolant tank delivered to the space station by Discovery's crew during three tricky spacewalks. Repeated attempts to open the valve using commands from Mission Control have been unsuccessful.
Space station flight director Ron Spencer said mission planners are contemplating extending Discovery's mission and adding an extra, fourth spacewalk to replace the faulty mechanism containing the valve.
A decision is expected sometime Thursday, Spencer said. Discovery is currently flying a 14-day mission to the space station and due to land April 19. The spacewalk repair would add another day to that schedule.
The space station uses nitrogen to pressurize its liquid ammonia coolant. Astronauts cannot fix the valve themselves because of its location inside the massive, refrigerator-sized tank.
Instead, they would have to replace the entire nitrogen tank portion of the ammonia coolant tank, which would require another spacewalk — either by Discovery's crew or the space station's own six-person crew, mission managers said. The space station has two spare nitrogen tanks on board.
NASA needs to fix or replace the nitrogen tank soon or else power down half of the space station's electronics to prevent them from overheating.
"It's actually half of the major power systems on the U.S. segment," station flight director Ed Van Cise said.
Shutting down half of the space station's power grid could force Mission Control to cut the number of astronauts aboard, from six astronauts to three, if the repair is not performed, Van Cise said. But it is far too early to discuss such a move, he added.
By late April, the space station's angle toward the sun will also be unfavorable for the radiators fed by the new ammonia tank, adding extra urgency to the repair, Spencer said.
Free time in space
While engineers work on the issue on the ground, the 13 astronauts aboard the linked shuttle Discovery and space station took a breather from their busy joint mission to delivery tons of supplies and equipment to the orbiting laboratory. They spoke with reporters on Earth and planned to take advantage of free time in space.
Astronaut Clayton Anderson, one of Discovery's two spacewalkers, said he hoped people on Earth tune into their flight even when there are no problems like the stuck nitrogen valve.
"What we do here is special. What we do here is difficult," Anderson said. "I'd really like to see everybody pay more attention to what we're doing up here regardless of whether things are going well or things are going poorly."
During the video link with reporters, the four women astronauts in the 13-spaceflyer group floated upside down above their crewmates. They are the most women in space at the same time.
"Really, it's a testament to the hard work and accomplishments of women, and we hope to inspire young women to follow in our footsteps and to pursue their dreams," said Discovery astronaut Stephanie Wilson.
Presidential speech on tap
But before the shuttle comes home, U.S. President Barack Obama will hold a space summit in Florida to discuss his new space exploration plan for NASA. The president initially cancelled the Constellation program building the replacement rockets and spacecraft to replace NASA's space shuttle after they retire later this year.
But he is expected to revive a stripped-down version of the Orion crew capsule developed in the Constellation program for use as an escape ship at the space station.
Discovery commander Alan Poindexter said his crew is trying to stay on top of the news from Earth, but remains focused on their mission to deliver tons of supplies and science equipment to the International Space Station. He wasn't sure if Mission Control would be able to beam President Obama's speech to the astronauts.
"We're staying abreast of most of the current news, but I don't know of any plans to tie us in for that at all," Poindexter said.
Discovery launched to the space station on April 5 and is due to leave the orbiting lab on Saturday, unless Mission Control decides to extend the flight for the extra spacewalk repair.

The importance of decisions and free-choice attitude change: A curvilinear finding
John Converse, Joel Cooper
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of decision importance on free-choice attitude change. It was predicted that the magnitude of the free-choice effect would be a quadratic function of the importance of the decision: The greatest change was expected following a decision of moderate importance, while decisions of high and low importance were expected to produce less change. In the first experiment, subjects were asked to choose a gift subscription to one of several magazines. Importance was manipulated by varying the length of the subscription. In the second experiment, subjects were asked to endorse their preferred candidate for a political office. Importance was manipulated by varying the office for which the candidates were vying and the use to which the subjects' selections would be put. The results of both studies were consistent with the predictions. The implications of the quadratic findings for subsequent research were discussed.

People have always found pleasure in dancing and the activity itself also used to strengthen the link between people, as well as them and divinity. Over the course of time, it took many forms and many were forgot them, but the best dances are still around to please the eye and the soul. The African American Dance Prints at ChefDecor.com celebrate the beauty and diversity of a style that and has changed many times over the last couple of decades.
Those who are looking for African American Dance posters will be pleasantly surprised to discover that ChefDecor.com doesn't focus exclusively on the modern genres. Some remarkable ones were created in the 19th century and there are African American Dance art prints focusing exclusively on these forgotten gems. They did a fine job at keeping the community together and perpetuated a rich tradition that could have otherwise been lost.
History buffs and those who have a special interest in the African-American culture, will not be disappointed by what is available. Even if you don't know a great deal about the African American Dance prints that have a keen eye for beauty, you will find these images moving and inspiring. The connection between the people involved and the energy that dancing radiates makes the African American Dance wall art a great addition to any interior. Youngsters will be probably more attracted by modern representations of the dance and there is some great artwork dedicated to those genres.


It is ironic that I am writing for "Top Desk," or any desk at all. My philosophy as the leader of MonaVie is to get out from behind the desk and get into the sales field organization. You have a far better view of how your business is working if you observe it from the other side of the desk.
Look again! Once floundering, Discovery Toys gets an infusion of fresh energy to usher in a new generation of parents and children playing together.
Somewhere along the way, Discovery Toys lost their spark. Their flame is growing in intensity now, after many years of near-darkness. But there was a time when their candle was flickering, teetering on extinction. And yet, before it was completely snuffed out, a small band of renegades swooped in and fanned the flame. Now, what has emerged is tantamount to a young startup—but with the added benefits of being a seasoned pro. Today, Discovery Toys shines as a beacon to guide others who have lost their way.

Even before she founded Tastefully Simple Inc. in 1995, Jill Blashack Strahan, now CEO of the company, was already practicing "giving with gratitude."

One half of another year means so many different things, depending on one's perspective. The discussion about the economy continues and is often one of much debate. While some success stories have emerged in the first six months of the new year, challenges remain, and celebrating the economic recovery appears to still be on hold in most mature markets. These times call for careful analysis of the editorial calendar for publications like ours, as "content relevance" becomes even more important with so much uncertainty.
Henry Ford once said, "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." No finer words can be used to describe the evolution of your association over the first 100 years of its life. Challenges identified and met. Opportunities shared and nurtured. Relationships created and valued. All hallmarks of the DSA.
It's official. Direct selling today looks little like the party planning business of the past. The digital age has brought with it powerful social networking tools, mobile technology and readily available content, all of which are ways for consumers to connect with large brands on a new level. The advent of social media alone has fashioned a different world in which we communicate. Connections can be initiated and fostered through social networks, extending our abilities to engage and enhance those into more personal relationships.
It's simple—when the salesforce grows, your company grows. And there's only one surefire way to make that happen: consultants sharing the opportunity. Making recruiting the foundation of the company and the culture of your business from the inside out is what will grow the company and the salesforce.

Talisman Plant and Tool Hire offers quality equipment, prices to suit your budget and quick deliveries to meet your deadlines. We have stores country-wide and offer a huge selection of tools such as arial work platforms, heavy duty breakers, brick and tile cutting, chemical toilets, compaction equipment, compressors concrete finishing and mixers, drills, sanders, gardening equipment, generators, saws, power tools and more.
Call us for all your hiring requirements.
Even if you own or run a small company, what plant hire companies offer is easy access to a full range of tools that can be quickly and efficiently replaced, minimising time and costs associated with breakdowns. There is no need for large storage facilities, plus tool hire frees up capital to be used elsewhere. And you need never worry about depreciation. They will also usually take care of all the insurance premiums too. Hiring can be done either on a daily, as needs basis, for more long term hire a contract would normally be considered as part of the deal between those hiring and those needing to hire, but what this offers you is full cover on mechanical repairs and servicing. Having well maintained tools that work optimally first of all reduces staff safety but also reduces downtime of labour if a machine or tool needs to be taken off the production line to be repaired or serviced. Most companies tender on projects and once granted a tender would start gathering the resources to complete the job. Therefore it makes no sense to keep a full range of equipment in storage that would possibly only be used as and when necessary. Yet without the aid of these machines or tools the likelihood of being granted the tender is debatable. A company can hire what they want for how long as they the need it, and during their contract they have peace of mind knowing that their equipment will be in good working order and available to them at all times.
There are companies in South Africa that really go big with their offerings in response to demand. Take cranes for instance. Even large Civil works companies make use of Plant Hire and what they get in return is a service that delivers, erects, services and repairs on site and when the job is done, they dismantle.
Earthmoving equipment is another that comes to mind, these cumbersome vehicles are a prerequisite for many large civil works, yet owning and running these behemoths can be costly and risky. For a fraction of the costs of owning, they get a machine that is always in good running order, on site and working the hours they need it to be working. And when they are done, it goes back to where it came from. There is no need to keep large storage facilities and no need to have machinery sitting around idle between projects.
If you have need of tippers, loaders or 2.5 tonne rollers, excavators, 40 tonne lowebed�s, water trucks or graders but don�t have the budget to buy, then the solution is to hire.
When you consider that giants in the civil engineering community such as companies like Murray & Roberts, Stefanutti Stocks, Basil Read or Grinaker-LTA make use of Plant hire, they obviously know what they�re doing.

Q: Will the flashback desktop environment be able for installation in future versions of Ubuntu? Will the flashback desktop environment be able for installation in future versions of Ubuntu? (In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and future versions)

A: Ubuntu Mate is what you're looking for. Mate is a fork of the original Gnome 2 desktop and via the Ubuntu Mate project is now an official desktop respin.
And yes, they're releasing a 16.04 version. Not sure what their Mate package support is like (don't know if it's a long-term-release) but all the other core applications will be.

A: The Flashback (previously Fallback) session is developed by GNOME. As long as they continue to develop it, it is a fair bet that Ubuntu will continue to make it available. There is no indication that GNOME Flashback will be discontinued in the foreseeable future. As for 16.04, it is available.

A: see discussion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2291032
It will be in 16.04. I believe this is gnome function not Ubuntu.
Even if it is not there anymore you can always install a lighter desktop environment or use a windows manager only.

(eWLB) ist eine Gehäusebauform für integrierte Schaltungen, bei der die Gehäuseanschlüsse auf einem aus Chips und Vergussmasse künstlich hergestellten Wafer erzeugt werden.

Entwicklung

eWLB ist eine Weiterentwicklung der Wafer-Level-Ball-Grid-Array-Technologie (WLB, auch: , WLP), die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass alle notwendigen Bearbeitungsschritte für das Gehäuse auf dem Wafer durchgeführt werden. Dies erlaubt gegenüber den klassischen Gehäusetechnologien (z. B. Ball Grid Array) die Herstellung extrem kleiner und flacher Gehäuse mit exzellenten elektrischen und thermischen Eigenschaften bei besonders niedrigen Herstellungskosten.

Bei WLBs, die auf dem Siliziumwafer hergestellt werden, müssen alle Lötkontakte auf den Chip passen (engl. ). Daher können lediglich Bausteine mit einer beschränkten Anzahl von Kontakten gehäust werden. Verwandte Bauformen sind Wafer Level Package und Ball Grid Array.

Herstellung

Hingegen erlaubt die eWLB-Technologie Chips mit vielen Kontakten herzustellen. Das Gehäuse wird dabei nicht wie bei klassischen Wafer-Level-Packages auf dem Siliziumwafer, sondern einem künstlichen Wafer hergestellt. Dazu wird ein im Frontend fertig prozessierter Wafer gesägt und die vereinzelten Chips auf eine Trägerplatte umgesetzt. Die Chips werden dabei in einem größeren Abstand zueinander abgelegt, als dies auf dem Silizium der Fall war. Die Zwischenräume und der Randbereich werden nun durch eine Vergussmasse aufgefüllt. Nach deren Härtung ist ein künstlicher Wafer entstanden, der einen Rahmen aus Vergussmasse (Moldrahmen) um die Chips beinhaltet, auf dem zusätzliche Lötkontakte untergebracht werden können. Nach der Herstellung des künstlichen Wafers, der sogenannten Reconstitution, werden nun wie bei klassischen Wafer-Level-Packages die elektrischen Verbindungen zu den Lötanschlüssen (Verbindungslagen, auch Umverdrahtung genannt) in Dünnschichttechnik hergestellt. Es lassen sich mit dieser Technologie beliebig viele zusätzliche Lötkontakte im gewünschten Abstand auf dem Gehäuse unterbringen (engl. ).
Dadurch lässt sich die Wafer-Level-Packaging-Technologie auch für neue, platzsensitive Anwendungen einsetzen, bei denen die Chipfläche nicht für die Unterbringung der Kontakte in einem realisierbaren Abstand ausreicht. Die eWLB-Technologie wurde von der Firma Infineon entwickelt. Erste Bausteine sind Mitte 2009 auf den Markt gekommen (Mobiltelefon).

Vor- und Nachteile

Als Vorteile kommen die geringen Kosten (Gehäuse und Test), die minimale Gehäuseabmessungen in Höhe und Breite, die exzellente elektrische und thermische Eigenschaft und die unbeschränkte realisierbare Anzahl von Anschlüssen, sowie ein hohes Integrationspotential für Mehrchip- und gestapelte Bausteine und ein aufkommender Gehäusestandard zum Tragen.

Nachteilig wirkt sich die erschwerte Inspektion und Reparatur der Bausteine (visuelle Inspektion nur eingeschränkt möglich) und die mechanischen Spannungen zwischen Gehäuse und Leiterplatte, die stärker zum Bauteil übertragen werden als bei anderen Gehäuseformen aus.

COVID-19 taking financial toll on people in U.S. with diabetes
Miriam E. Tucker
The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a particularly severe financial toll on people with diabetes, new research from the United States suggests.
Results from a national online survey of 5,000 people with diabetes conducted between June 26 and July 1, 2020, were posted July 29 on the American Diabetes Association website.
The survey, conducted by the diabetes research company dQ&A in association with the ADA, revealed that Americans with diabetes are experiencing extreme financial pressures, leading to medication and supply rationing.
A high proportion of respondents had either lost income or are working in jobs that place them at risk for catching the novel coronavirus.
"These new numbers show the urgency needed to adopt measures to protect and assist the millions of people with diabetes who are suffering through this pandemic," Tracey D. Brown, CEO of the ADA, said in a statement.
She called for states to extend health care coverage to people who have lost their jobs, for the eradication of insulin copays during the pandemic, and for increased COVID-19 testing capacity in high-risk communities.
"If these actions aren't taken immediately, we will continue to see devastating impacts and outcomes for millions of vulnerable Americans," Ms. Brown stressed.
COVID-19 has worsened financial pressures for people with diabetes
In the survey, 24% of respondents reported having used savings, loans, or stimulus check money to pay for diabetes care in the past 3 months. Among those who have lost income, half are using savings or stimulus money.
A quarter of respondents said they have been self-rationing supplies to cut costs.
Extrapolating to the entire U.S. population with diabetes, dQ&A estimated that roughly 650,000 are skipping insulin doses or taking less than prescribed, and 3 million are skipping blood glucose tests.
In June, the unemployment rate for people with diabetes was 18%, higher than the national rate of 12%.
Also higher is the proportion of those working prior to the pandemic who have since lost income: 33%, compared with 29% for the general population.
Among those who are self-employed, 7 in 10 of those with diabetes have lost some or all of their income.
Many with diabetes who are employed are vulnerable to exposure
Of those who remain employed, half said they can't work from home.
Of those, 60% work in essential industries, with 22% in health care. A large majority, 90%, reported lack of social distancing at work and nearly a third work in places that don't require masks.
"People with diabetes are helping to provide the services we all depend on during this pandemic, even as it puts their own well-being at risk," the report said.
It concluded that "these numbers represent a conservative estimate of the pandemic's impact. They are generated from an ongoing online study of the diabetes population amongst people who have opted in to participate."

The ABTA Holiday Value Report, out today, has found that holidays will play a vital role in lifting the British economy, as well as British spirits, in 2009.
The study shows that in spite of financial worries, summer holidays are three times more prized than pay rises, and that by booking and going on holiday this year we can collectively help lift the economy, as well as the spirits.
"Having something to look forward to like a holiday often helps us focus more on current tasks," said Psychotherapist and Life Coach Christine Webber, who developed the study.
"Holidays are not just about the two weeks away. The feel-good impact is felt from the moment you start to pick a destination and, in these troubled times, the whole process offers welcome relief from the gloom," continued Christine Webber.
After a surge of early deals in the last couple of weeks from many of its members, ABTA is reporting positive levels of holiday bookings and footfall for the first half of January. Egypt, Turkey and long-haul destinations such as Orlando, as well as cruises, are selling well.
Their research shows that, despite the economic gloom, 68 per cent of the public are prepared to up their budget or spend the same as last year to ensure they have something to look forward to. Only nine per cent of people intend to leave their bookings to the last minute.
"Holidays are important to people in different ways but the research is clear that holidays are a vital part of people's year and still will be this year despite the economic downturn," said Casia Zajac, Head of Communications for ABTA.
"Planning and anticipating a holiday can sustain people through the winter months and the bleak financial times that are upon us.
Almost 50 per cent of respondents said the break from every day worries and the opportunity to relax was the most important element of a holiday, eclipsing factors such as food, culture, sunbathing and gaining life experiences.
The summer holiday is the most prized annual purchase with 37 per cent above its nearest contender of a new car at 15 per cent. Only four per cent went for cosmetic surgery or beauty treatments.
Despite the economic gloom, 68 per cent of the public are prepared to up their holiday budget or spend the same as last year.
Bargain-hunting holidaymakers are still looking for the best deals. More than 50 per cent are happy to spend up to £500 on flights and accommodation, while eight per cent are prepared to pay above £1200.
All statistics taken from a OnePoll survey of 2447 adults commissioned between December 24th 2008 and January 5th 2009.

I look forward to reading more about Laura Ingalls Wilder, my Cousin
I'm happy that I was able to order this book as a late Christmas present. In fact, it's a gift from one of my step-daughters who gave me an Amazon Gift Card a year ago! I'll have to wait awhile longer, as it's not available for delivery yet at Amazon.com. But it will be worth the wait. And I have plenty of books to read in the meantime.
Here's what Amazon.com says about the book:
Long hidden in archives, Laura Ingalls Wilder's original handwritten autobiography is a tribute to her family and her experiences as a pioneer. Written for an older audience, Pioneer Girl is her first-person narrative of the settling of Dakota Territory, the building of the railroad west, and life as a pioneer. The stories in this autobiography formed the basis of Wilder's international best-selling autobiographical novels, known as the Little House Series . For the first time, readers will have full access to the original manuscript that began it all. Written in six tablets on lined paper, Pioneer Girl follows the Ingalls family through Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, back to Minnesota, and on to Dakota Territory over a sixteen-year period. Using revised Pioneer Girl manuscripts edited by Wilder's daughter Rose Wilder Lane, letters written between Wilder and Lane, photographs, newspapers, and other sources, Pamela Smith Hill and other editors of the Pioneer Girl Project lead readers through Wilder's early recollections and her first attempts at publication. While Laura Ingalls Wilder is a familiar figure, Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography re-introduces readers to the woman who defines the pioneer experience and gives new insight into her motivations and experiences.

NTID Life Histories Project records
RIT Archives
The NTID Life Histories Project collection contains a variety of documents related to the development of the oral history web project. The collection includes an early manuscript copy of Eugene Petersen's You Deaf? Visits with Deaf Americans as well as Petersen's final copy for publication. These manuscripts include copies of the many interviews with deaf Americans that the Petersens conducted.
The collection also contains planning documents for the web project. These documents consist of correspondence, budgeting materials, model oral history websites, guidelines from the Oral History Association, and correspondence and agreements with project interviewees. Additionally, there are materials related to Kovalik's application for a National Endowment for the Humanities grant.
At the end of the collection are several video tapes and floppy discs containing recordings of the different interviews.
This collection is open to researchers.
Historical Information: NTID Life Histories Project
Eugene Petersen was born in 1920 in Utah. At the age of eight, he contracted spinal meningitis and lost his hearing as a result. With the exception of one year spent at the Utah School for the Deaf during his sophomore year of high school, Petersen continued his education in the public school system. He graduated in 1938 and began working as a printer. After 25 years in this career, Petersen relocated to Indianapolis, where he accepted a position as a counselor of a new program for the deaf at the Crossroad Rehabilitation Center.
Throughout his lifetime, Petersen played an active role in the deaf community. He served as a board member for the Utah Association of the Deaf, was on the Indiana Rehabilitation Services Board Committee on Deafness, was an active member of the National Association of the Deaf, and acted as president of the American Deafness and Rehabilitation Association. Petersen also served as an editor for The Deaf American and was awarded both the Deafness Research Foundation's Distinguished Public Service Award and the Sertoma Service to Mankind Award. He was honored with the Doctor Chair at Gallaudet University for the 1985-1986 year. The Doctor Chair was given annually by Gallaudet University to an individual who would use Gallaudet's resources to contribute to the university and the deaf community. Petersen was granted the position so that he could work on his project, You Deaf? Visits with Deaf Americans.
Inez Petersen was born in North Carolina in 1926 and attended the North Carolina School for the Deaf. As an adult, she was an involved member of her church, the local community, and the deaf community. Inez Petersen served as the Director of Winston-Salem St. Paul's Episcopal Church Deaf Choir and was on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Association of the Deaf from 1968-1974. She was honored, along with her first husband, as the Outstanding Deaf Persons in North Carolina by the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf in 1970 and was awarded the title of Winston-Salem's Handicapped Citizen of the Year in 1976.
Eugene and Inez Petersen married later in life, both having been previously married. They died in a car crash in 1989.
The NTID Life Histories Project was the result of Eugene and Inez Petersens' work on You Deaf? Visits with Deaf Americans. While working as an editor for The Deaf American magazine, Eugene Petersen conducted a series of interviews with several deaf Americans. Inspired by this assignment and Studs Terkel's book, Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do, which told the personal stories of working-class Americans, Petersen came up with the idea of creating an oral history piece that would capture the lives of average deaf Americans. Petersen was concerned that the only literature available on the deaf focused on the difficulties and major successes of the deaf community. He wanted to create a work that portrayed deaf Americans as leading normal, successful lives.
Since the Petersens did not have the means to pursue the project on their own, Eugene Petersen applied for the Doctor Chair by Gallaudet University in 1985. Having received the award, the Petersens travelled around the country, interviewing 160 deaf Americans, most from the middle-class. Interviewees were encouraged to talk about their backgrounds, circumstances, feelings, and opinions about living as a deaf person in modern America. These interviews were compiled into a book that was submitted for publication. Unfortunately, the book was rejected with the suggestion that the contents be trimmed down.
After the Petersens' death, Susan Foster, a researcher at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), attempted to find a publisher for Petersen's book, but was also rejected. In 1999, Foster approached Gail Kovalik Hyde, a colleague in NTID, regarding the project. They decided to publish the Petersens' work on their own on the Internet and titled the project the NTID Life Histories Project: A Collection of Life Studies of Deaf People http://library.rit.edu/depts/archives/deafhistory/index.htm.
3 Linear Feet (6 document boxes)
Documents pertaining to the NTID Life Histories Project, an online website that offers access to the personal life stories of everyday deaf Americans. The collection is contained in six boxes and consists of a variety of materials related to the project including manuscript copies of Eugene Petersen's work, You Deaf? Visits With Deaf Americans; planning documents for the project such as correspondence, professional guidelines, funding requests, and budgeting materials; correspondence and contractual agreements with interviewees; and video tapes and floppy disc records of various interviews.
The collection is contained within six document boxes with materials being roughly organized by type. The first box contains early manuscript copies of Eugene W. Petersen's work , You Deaf? Visits With Deaf Americans, as well as planning documents for the oral history project, which continue into the second box. Box 3 contains the entire manuscript for Petersen's work and the start of a series of correspondence with interviewees for the project, which continues through Box 5. Box 6 consists of videotapes and floppy discs from various interviews.

In "Mr. Robot's" third series, the main character Elliot Alderson - played by the now Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek — is being monitored by the FBI, who can see everything he's doing on his computer. It's not made clear in the show how Alderson, himself a talented hacker, could have been compromised in this way.
But for anyone looking closely, filenames and emails that flash up briefly onscreen make references to "Monitor Darkly" — the name of a real-world exploit published by the security firm Red Balloon in 2016.
Ang Cui, CEO of Red Balloon Security, focuses on security within embedded devices. Embedded devices basically refer to anything that contains a small computer that runs on its own dedicated software — MP3 players, dishwashers, and even hospital equipment can count as embedded systems. The term doesn't really refer to laptops or desktop computers.
In perhaps typical "Mr. Robot" style, no one actually told Red Balloon what had happened — they just worked it out from all the inbound comments and links. "They never really told us," Cui said.


In order to defend convoys it became necessary to find a way to shoot down the high flying Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor aircraft which would shadow convoys radioing their position to enable U-boat wolf-packs to lie-in-wait for them. The Sea Hurricane Mk. I A, (1941), fitted with catapult spools, slinging gear, arrester hook and naval radio for use from C.A.M. ships (Carrier Aircraft Merchant), was the solution, the Sea Hurricane was introduced in the spring of 1941 and soon became known unofficially as the 'Hurricat'.
Most Hawker Sea Hurricane's were obsolete RAF Mk. 1's fighters converted to operate from a merchantman fitted with a catapult (C.A.M. ship - Carrier Aircraft Merchant).
The first enemy aircraft to be destroyed by a catapulted Sea Hurricane IA, a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, was shot down on August the 3rd 1941.
The Sea Hurricane pictures on this page depict the only surviving 'Hurricat' which is carefully maintained in airworthy condition by the Shuttleworth Collection and regularly displayed at air-shows held at their Old Warden Aerodrome in Bedfordshire.

Home People Homewood resident moves on from post as U.S. military officer
Homewood resident moves on from post as U.S. military officer
Major General N. Lee S. Price
For Major General N. Lee S. Price, breaking barriers has become the norm.
Price, a former Homewood resident, was the first female program executive officer for the U.S. Army, responsible for overseeing the development and delivery of communication systems to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. She started in the Alabama National Guard in 1975 and, after being commissioned in 1981, moved rapidly up the ranks. She was the first woman to reach the rank of brigadier general through the Army Acquisition Corps and led a team to design the network used to restore logistical communication after Hurricane Katrina.
Price has received the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star and multiple awards for meritorious service, and she was inducted into the Alabama Business and Professional Women's Foundation Academy of Honor in 2009.
Now, Price has retired from her post and returned to her hometown to enjoy friends and family. As she transitioned from military to civilian life, The Homewood Star asked Price about her Homewood roots and her advice for students who want to follow her path.
What is your fondest memory of growing up in Homewood?
I have only wonderful memories of Homewood. I lived in a terrific neighborhood up on Crest Drive with lots of kids of comparable age. We were outside every day playing touch football, riding bikes, or having water and pinecone battles. I went to Edgewood Elementary and then on to Homewood Junior High. I always felt secure and knew I was surrounded by friends and family.
Where were your favorite places to shop, eat, visit or relax in the city?
Downtown Homewood today is pretty close to how it was when I grew up. Everyone shopped at Sikes, Savages and Colony Casual, and we enjoyed a lot of free time eating at the old Hikel drug store and Pasquales. There was a movie theater in Homewood that I frequented for matinees and remember the old newsreels that would play before each showing. The downtown Homewood area today is also great, and I love seeing that it's staying so modern and the SOHO area is great.
Besides participating in sports programs, how did the community prepare you for your career?
The Homewood community itself always felt like a big family. I was too young to understand things like the tax structure, but I always had the sense of a community working hard to address problems or challenges. That kind of team translates well into the same type of constrained decision making that we experience in the military.
What Homewood residents were your biggest rolemodels growing up?
As far as role models, I don't have to look further than my parents. They definitely reflected the values that they taught all four of us kids to live by. One of the values that I carry with me is to treat people with dignity, compassion and respect, and my parents reflected those values every day. A secondary player is our own sports legend Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. His lessons in leadership also translate well to the teamwork of the military. One thing that I've never had to do in my 38 years of service is explain who Bear Bryant is; he's a legend we can all learn from.
What message would you send to Homewood students to encourage them?
I am living my dream and passion. I encourage the youth of America to find where their passion is. Develop a one-, three-, and five-year plan and review it each year. I know it sounds mundane, but if you don't have a plan you will not succeed to the same heights as others will. It's okay to deviate from that plan, but know where you are headed. I work in an area where less than 25 percent of youth qualify to be considered for service. Many are disqualified for what I'll term the "folly of youth." That leads me to always remind the younger population that we all have but one reputation and it is your responsibility to manage your own. I love speaking with young people; the army, of course, is largely comprised of the younger generation. I continue to learn from them as I teach lessons from the past. I've lived the American dream. Start your plans now; develop a game plan for achieving your dream and you too can achieve it!
What message do you have for your parents and other residents who know you personally?
I've stayed in touch with many of the folks that I went to school with and grew up with. In fact, I joke with some that I have no memories that predate me knowing them. Literally, we went to kindergarten at Mrs. Lloyd's together and graduated from high school years later at Shades Valley (the old Shades Valley). I am looking forward to spending more time with them as opposed to just seeing them at the reunions. I'm thrilled to be coming full circle! I look forward to the journey "home."
