Police arrest parents after baby hospitalized with broken legs
By: Aaron Vaughn , Meredith Forrest Kulwicki
SALT LAKE CITY -- Salt Lake Police arrested a couple for allegedly abusing their infant.
On Monday, a four-month-old girl was taken to Primary Children's Hospital for treatment of leg injuries. Doctors told officers that the baby had broken both legs and suffered an injury to her mouth. They say that the injuries were consistent with abuse.
An investigation led to the arrest of the child's parents, Lorissa Boltinghouse and Jeremy Johnson, for child abuse. According to police documents, Boltinghouse admitted to yanking the child's legs and forcing a bottle into her mouth.
She said that Johnson was present when this happened and Johnson also admitted to forcing a bottle into the child's mouth, according to police documents. The baby's mouth injury is often caused by a blow to the mouth or the forcing of a bottle or pacifier into the mouth, according to the police documents.
Police say the couple is from Missouri and were staying in a Salt Lake City motel for several days, but were not sure why.
The child was temporarily placed with the Division of Child and Family Services until they determine if the baby can be placed with relatives or in foster care.
DCFS says they investigate nearly 40,000 reported child abuse cases every year.

I used to eat toast and cereal before bed too. I've tried to stop eating after 9.00pm since starting slimming world and I'm finding that I'm sleeping better. My friend says it's because it's easier for your body to switch off when it doesn't have a meal to digest. I wonder if there's any truth in that?
I tend not to eat after 10pm but find a hot chocolate helps me with food cravings. I wish my body would shut down for bed, no such luck!
Usually when I start wanting food at night (and my tummy does feel hungry but I wonder if it's kinda psychological) I think it's time to try sleep. Of course I'm a total hypocrite sat writing this at 3am!
I wonder if there is something very light you could work into your syns, or something free to eat.
I try distraction because I find, as well, that if I start eating anything at that time it is hard to stop. For some reason!
Hope you find a solution, something that works for you.
Here i sit at 3.23 am tucking into a huge bowl of rice, veggies and prawns, when i'm hungry I eat. It's syn free so, it's fair game!
I can't sleep if I'm hungry going to bed. I usually have a cereal bar, a banana and/or a yogurt. I read that bananas and dairy products such as yogurt or hot milk help you sleep better.
Sometimes I just have a chicken drumstick or ham in the evening, or a pkt Ryvita mimis and cheese spread.
I definitely eat if I'm hungry.
I usually have a banana and then either a glass of milk or cup of tea - then I go and brush my teeth. Then mentally because my teeth are minty fresh, i don't want food. It's a little trick I picked up from a tv programme or magazine years ago and actually really works!
I think if i'm honest, when i'm feeling hungry before bed (or at other times of the day) if i'm honest with myself, it's mostly either because i'm bored or being greedy! But that's just me!
I exercise in the evening which tends to supress the appetite for the rest of the night. If i haven't done any and i do get hungry i will have a banana, or a mugshot or something.
I don't usually crave sweet things, it's more salty stuff for me so some scrambled eggs with a bit of coarse black pepper and salt in hit the spot..
Good idea, they are really filling too.
Good to know its ok to do this and still lose loads, thanks for that!
I also keep over a little bit of that nights dinner, or some soup. Or save my HE's and have laughing cow light on ryvita with toms and cooked ham.
If you eventually feel reday to go back on bread, a tip is to keep it in the freezer and just lift out what you need and defrost it. With cereal, measure out a few portions into sandwich bags and just leave one portion out, keep the rest out of the way somewhere.
I am a big believer in everything in moderation, because I think its really important to learn to control your eating, makes maintenence easier.
Mind you I am one to talk, since I am no longer maintaining and am back to losing lol.
I have been waking up on a couple of occasions in the night really hungry. (One of the things pregnancy does to you) and so make sure I have my fruit bowl stocked up with bananas as I find they fill you up quickly, which is just what I need to help me get back to sleep or sometimes even a handful of grapes helps.
Perhaps try something similar. Hot chocolate is probably a good suggestion too, but of course would need to be synned.
Like others have mentioned though, you also need to be careful that it is that you are actually hungry and not because it is a habit iykwim.

The Aussie startups tackling plastic pollution
Earlier this year the Australian Government's National Plastics Plan (NPP) was announced which outlined a number of measures aimed at addressing Australia's growing plastic problem. The following three key goals were established to guide action on plastic moving forward:
1. Reduce plastic waste and increase recycling rates
2. Alternatives to the plastics we don't need
3. Reduce the amount of plastics impacting our environment.
There is a clear plastic problem in Australia that requires urgent attention. In the 2018-19 financial year, Australians used 3.5 million tonnes of plastic, of which only 13% was recycled. One million tonnes of plastic consumption comprises single use, and 130,000 tonnes ends up in the marine environment each year. Our plastic consumption is forecast to increase, likely doubling by the year 2040. It is clear coordinated approaches combining government, industry and the community must play a part in identifying and showcasing new ideas and solutions.
There are a number of innovative Australian startups making strides to help combat the plastic crisis. Check them out below.
1. Zero co.
Zero Co operates through a circular delivery system — you order, they deliver, you return and they refill. They clean the pouches once customers return them with a reply-paid envelope, refill them and ship them back out. The 'Milk man' re-imagined.
2. Seabin Project
One of the goals for the Seabin Project is to provide practical and tangible solutions to reduce the plastics in our oceans which is one of the world's greatest problems. Seabin is a floating rubbish bin that collects garbage from the sea. They are deployed near ports, marinas, and yacht clubs. The bin houses a pump which creates a flow of water collecting rubbish and debris floating in the water nearby.
3. Mister Rye straws
Mister Rye takes leftover grain stalks from famers cereal rye harvest to produce the first Australian made drinking straws. The sustainable straws are not only South Australian made, they are also compostable and biodegradable, super strong, gluten-free, tasteless, reusable at home, and resistant to the dampness that often overtakes non-plastic straws.
4. The Dirt Company
The Dirt Company is an eco alternative to supermarket laundry detergent. It is eight times more concentrated than regular detergent and produces 90 per cent less plastic than a standard 20-load bottle. The detergent comes in a dispenser bottle, which has a pump, so you can measure your dosage and avoid overdoing it. The dispenser bottle can then be refilled by buying the Dirt Company's refill pack.
5. Upparel
Australians are dumping 953kg of textiles into landfill every single minute and of this number 95% could have been reused, repurposed or recycled. Gone are the days of tossing out damaged or threadbare items that your local Op Shop can't accept. For $25 they will collect 10kg of old, damaged or unwanted clothing and shoes from your front door and prepare them for their second life.
6. How We Roll Co.
How We Roll manufactures sustainable, plastic-free and tree-free household products including bamboo toilet and recycled toilet paper, paper towels, tissues and biodegradable bin bags. For each box of their product sold, they plant a tree in a bushfire-affected region.
7. JuJu Reusable Period Care
Through each of their period care products, JuJu aim to provide individuals with a healthier, more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to disposable period products. In 2011 they released their first product, the JuJu Menstrual Cup, which is the only Australian-made menstrual cup. Over the years they've innovated and introduced new product lines and now offer a range of reusable, eco-friendly personal care products including cloth pads, and absorbent underwear.

Network Blue dives Into the Port River
In partnership with Portside Christian College (PCC) and Estuary Care Foundation (ECF) our student-led citizen science program Network Blue is diving into the Port River. ECF is pioneering the first local, citizen science, shellfish restoration project in the Port River. This project is part of broader efforts to restore shellfish reefs dominated by the native Ostrea angasi flat oyster which once existed along 1500km of South Australia's coastline. Today, oyster reefs are amongst the most endangered marine systems on earth - with 85% global loss over the past 150 years. 📸:ECF volunteers and BSAC divers deploying oyster bags in the Port River. Oyster restoration projects provide an opportunity to restore the ecological foundations of marine ecosystems. When oysters cement together, their aggregations form complex habitat creating homes for a great diversity of invertebrates, boosting the density and diversity of the little animals that feed the broader coastal food web.

Our mission, open-source software and Go
AusOcean's mission is to help our oceans through technology. One way we're achieving that is with software, and "open-source software" in particular. If you're not familiar with the term, there is a good Wikipedia article . In a nutshell, open-source software right holders grant others the rights to study, change, and distribute the software with few restrictions. Using open-source software means we don't have to re-invent the proverbial wheel all the time. We also need to develop new software, which AusOcean is making available under a type of open-source license known as the GNU General Public License (GPL) . The question I pondered early on was "which programming language to use at AusOcean?" Over the years I've worked in over a dozen different programming languages, going as far back as BASIC, FORTRAN and COBOL to more modern languages such as C++, Java and Python. All of them have their pros and cons, although with some the
Microplastics in our oceans
Earlier this year we had the opportunity to sail to the Pearson Isles in the Great Australian Bight, which you can read about here . These beautiful islands, 64 km (40 miles) offshore from the Australian mainland, have great ecological value. They have been isolated from the mainland for over 10,000 years and have remained free from any introduced pests. Yet during that relatively short timespan (geologically speaking) the Pearson Island rock-wallaby ( Petrogale lateralis pearsoni ) has evolved as a distinct subspecies of the black-footed rock-wallaby. The isles may well be considered Australia's own mini Galapagos. Since we were sailing to some remote places, I decided to join the Adventure Scientists' Global Microplastics Initiative and collect water samples along the way. I collected six water samples spanning an area 325 km east to west and 200 km north to south. Samples were sent to a lab in the US to test for traces of microplastics . Two of my 6 samples (shown below

Belo Horizonte gets a Land Reform Farmers Market
Brazil's Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) opens a rural market in Belo Horizonte city

Authorities, representatives of social and cultural movements, and an appreciative audience gathered in Belo Horizonte for the opening of the Farmers' Market Shop, another permanent space for sale of products from Land Reform farms.
The shop occupies a prime location in the capital city of Minas Gerais, on the corner of Avenida Augusto de Lima, in the Barro Preto neighbourhood, close to the Contorno inner ring-road. "I think it's a wonderful place. I'm always looking for produce from family farms and to have it here, in this part of the city, really makes it easy for us to get them. And, what's more, it breaks with the agribusiness model which relies on monoculture and destroys the natural environment. For me, as a resident of Belo Horizonte, it's wonderful to have this market here." So says retired bank-worker Luciana Pereira.
The crowd taking refreshments outside the Market, which will be open from Monday to Saturday fro 8 am to 10 pm.
Sônia Maranho, from the Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB), underlines the political importance of the opening of this farmers' market in Belo Horizonte. "This is not just any market. It's a market redolent of struggle, of history, of resistance, and of the effort to build a popular alternative for Brazil, something the MST has been working on for so many years. And to build such an alternative now, at this time of political coup, of the crisis of capitalism, makes it doubly important to build links with the urban centres, where the majority of the population live. So, to open this market is to launch a project of politicisation, and of unity between city and countryside. It will provide a space for us rural dwellers and for the urban population to begin to understand the importance of this struggle for the whole of Brazil.
Dr Jean Freire (PT) with his basket of farm produce
During Saturday morning (25 November), various public figures visited the Market, including former minister Nilmário Miranda and the former PT state deputies Rogério Correia and Dr. Jean Freire. "I can't help feeling emotional," said Freire. "I come from Vale do Jequitinhonha. Both of my parents were rural workers. I can see here this organic produce, fruit of the skills that so many farm labourers must use to work the land and use its water. This shows what the MST is, what it can do, the importance of the struggle for Land Reform."
"We can go through a whole lifetime without needing a doctor or an engineer, but we need the skills of farm workers at least three times every day: for our morning coffee, our lunch, our dinner. That's why it is essential to value peasant agriculture, because it gives us the hope to continue the fight for our country," said Dr Freire, as he filled a basket with produce to take home.
The experience of the Farmers Market is also helping to promote other healthy food initiatives. Jeferson Silva, Coordinator of the Electricians' Union (Sindielectro), stated that the union plans to help widen the distribution of Land Reform produce in the workplace. "We've already started talks on taking some of this produce to be sold in our places of work," he said, "to show the people of Belo Horizonte and our trade, the electricians, the importance of the Land Reform and all the work of the MST."
The Farmers' Market offers a great variety of produce, with more than 250 items at prices affordable for the local population. On Saturday and Sunday (25-26 November) to mark the opening of the Market, there were cultural events, country cooking and a craft fair, all part of the state capital's contribution to the Minas Gerais Circle of the Art and Culture of the Land Reform.

Raise your hand if you love beauty as much as I do. I personally don't know any woman who ever said she's not into beauty and all that comes with it. It's just a thing with us women, isn't it? I think I can speak for most of us when I say we just love pretty perfume bottles, high quality make-up brushes and lipsticks in every color possible. Today we are talking about the basics that we all have and need and I'm sharing with you my favorite way to store the things I need on a daily bases.
If you're having a lot of make-up it can get quite tricky to store it all in the right way. Maybe you don't have that much space to use either. Well, you don't need to display all of your beauty stuff, just the things you use the most and on a daily bases. There are actually quite a lot opportunities to store your daily make-up essentials but my favorite and for me the most classy way is a mirrored tray. It's the perfect decoration tool already and arranging your favorite and most used make-up products on it will look great on your make-up table.
⇒ The best tip I can give you and what I've been doing for years now is to use empty candles for make-up brushes. That's probably the best and stylish way to do it. Just burn down your favorite candle in a pretty glass and put it in a little bit of hot water to get rid of any wax- that's it. And there you have it, a super easy DIY brush holder.
⇒ To make it all even more pretty and eye-catching don't forget your favorite perfume on it. If you're following me on Instagram (@thetrendique) for a while now, you'll know that I'm absolutely obsessed with the Miss Dior perfume bottle. It looks gorgeous on a mirrored tray (or any tray you find) and you can always reach it easily.
⇒ If you are having a lot of make-up and beauty essentials and don't know what to display on your beauty tray, think about the products you use the most. For example your favorite foundation and powder which you use everyday, brushes, perfume and lip balm.

The Secret Space Station
Darren Beyer	on January 5, 2016
The first space station was the Salyut 1, launched by the Soviet Union on April 19, 1971. The first U.S. station was Skylab, launched just over two years later. But those were almost upstaged by a secret station that never quite got off the ground. Newly declassified 20,681 pages of documents shed light on a the first space station that never was.
The Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) was publicly disclosed in 1963. Some limited details were disclosed, including the 17 military astronauts who were chosen to man it. President Johnson announced:
"At the suggestion of Vice President Humphrey and members of the Space Council, as well as Defense Secretary McNamara, I am today instructing the Department of Defense to immediately proceed with the development of a Manned Orbiting Laboratory.
This program will bring us new knowledge about what man is able to do in space. It will enable us to relate that ability to the defense of America. It will develop technology and equipment which will help advance manned and unmanned space flights. And it will make it possible to perform their new and rewarding experiments with that technology and equipment."
From the Air Force release:
"The MOL program, which will consist of an orbiting pressurized cylinder approximately the size of a small house trailer, will increase the Defense Department effort to determine military usefulness of man in space…MOL will be designed so that astronauts can move about freely in it without a space suit and conduct observations and experiments the laboratory over a period of up to a month."
What both the president and Air Force seemed to say was that the MOL would be an experimental project to learn about whether manned spaceflight had military uses. What wasn't disclosed was that the lab was to be used as a spy camera, an electronic listening mechanism, a non-nuclear missile platform and even an enemy satellite capture device.
Known confidentially as the Dorian Program, and originally conceived under a different initiative in 1957, the program lasted for six years (1963-1969) and used $1.56B (nearly $12B in today's money) during its life. Essentially, it was to be a Gemini capsule – used as the launch crew compartment and reentry vehicle – attached to 56.5 feet of "space station." Unlike more recent stations that are modular and put together over many missions, it was a single use, single launch configuration, planned to be launched on a tailor-made Titan 3 rocket.
Ultimately, the Vietnam War and Apollo program competed against it for funds and won out. Unmanned spy satellites proved that they could perform the reconnaissance function at less cost. Though one test mission of the Titan 3C rocket and attached MOL station took place, the program was cancelled before any manned, operational missions took place. While it may seem like a colossal waste of money, it left its mark by laying some of the groundwork for Skylab and the International Space Station.

A major milestone for the Borders Railway has been completed. A new rail bridge under the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass has been built: safely, and with minimal disruption to a very busy road. This bridge will allow the new railway to run underneath an essential part of Scotland's trunk road network which thousands of motorists use every day.
In order to allow for the bridge to be built a temporary dual carriageway was constructed adjacent to the existing Edinburgh City Bypass. Traffic has been using this temporary diversion since September 2013.
Network Rail hailed this achievement as a major milestone for the project which is on schedule for the construction work being finished next summer.


Which Window Treatments Make Your Home Look Great From Outdoors?
As a smart homeowner in Austin, you buy window treatments based on how they can make your interior look. But have you ever thought about which window treatments look best from outdoors, and which ones may add to your house's curb appeal?
Below are our top recommendations for window treatments that make your home's exterior look even better.
Shutters are perfect for improving your curb appeal because they're so easy to see from outside. With their crisp, solid shape and wide louvers, shutters "pop" more than other window treatments, and complement just about any style of building. With the brilliant whites from Polywood® plantation shutters or nature-inspired looks of Ovation® wood shutters, they can be a great counterpoint to any kind of siding, from wood siding to brick to shingle style siding.
Shutters can also help give you a uniform look across each of your windows. If your window treatments are all wildly different you could end up with a messy look, so the ability to coordinate the window treatments across all those windows is a substantial boon. Our shutters are custom made to fit any type and size of window, so you can get a clean, consistent look no matter what.
Lastly, shutters are incredibly resilient and easy to clean, so you won't have to worry about them looking shoddy, faded or dusty in the window like you might with a fabric window covering.
Though they don't add the same "pop" as shutters do, the biggest things shades have going for them are their clean, solid look and ability to color match. If you have a very particular color combo that you want to stick to across your house – shades are the window treatment for you. With nearly endless choices in colors and patterns, shades are a do-it-all window treatment.
Remember that shades require a little more maintenance to maintain their awesome looks. Over the course of a few months, they can wrinkle, fold, fade and stain, which can make them lose any appeal they had. Also be aware of how silhouettes will cast on them in the evening when your inside lights are on.
If you want to make both your home's interior and exterior look even better with shutters, drapes or shades, give us a call today at 512-549-6077. We'll show you all of your options, and find your perfect window treatment.


A teacher's attitude towards the teaching and learning process can have either a positive or negative impact on how students receive the lesson and their level of participation. It is also always important to give adequate and necessary instructions in a clear manner so that students can understand exactly what is being asked of them. Positive student engagement also depends on the unpredictability of the lesson as students will pay attention more as they don't know when they'll be called upon to answer. This also makes classes more fun.

Tokyo Ghoul Root A
Description: In Tokyo Ghoul √A, monsters live among humans, looking like them while craving their flesh. That is the world Ken Kaneki has struggled to navigate ever since a first date went horrifically awry and transformed him into a half-human, half-ghoul. For months, he has fought against his new cannibalistic hunger and violent tendencies. But after being captured and tortured by a sadistic ghoul, Kaneki has accepted his darker half as his only means for survival. His choice could not be more timely. Tokyo has become a battleground between humans and ghouls. The CCG, a government agency created to deal with the perceived ghoul threat, has ramped up its efforts to eradicate the inhuman monsters. In response, the terrorist ghoul organization, Aogiri Tree, has made destroying the CCG its priority. And throughout it all, the ghouls who frequent the coffee shop Anteiku merely want to live a peaceful life. But Kaneki, who worked at Anteiku while he attempted to reconcile his human and ghoul halves, makes a shocking decision: he joins Aogiri Tree. Even as his choice sends shockwaves through his newfound friends, many more questions are raised. What is Aogiri Tree's true purpose? Will the CCG triumph over the ghouls? And has Kaneki truly betrayed his friends and everything that Anteiku stands for?

Alt-right propaganda is designed to nourish the precise grievances recited by the disillusioned and indignant young men that dominate its ranks. It provides a coherent—but malicious—worldview. For a recruit, the alt-right helps explain why they don't have the jobs or the sexual partners or the overall societal and cultural respect that they believe (and are told) to be rightfully theirs. This appeal is resonating at a moment in the United States when economic inequality is worsening and a majority-minority United States is forecasted for 2044—developments exploited by racist propagandists.

Anti-Terrorism Act Liability for Financial Institutions: Second Circuit Holds That Plaintiffs Seeking to Bring Anti-Terrorism Act Claims Against a Financial Institution Failed to Adequately Allege Proximate Causation
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP - February 21, 2013
The past decade has seen a surge in the number of cases brought against financial institutions and other major corporations under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2331 et seq. ("ATA"). Plaintiffs alleging injuries by acts of international terrorism have sought to recover treble damages for their injuries from financial institutions on the theory that the financial institutions supplied, directly or indirectly, financial services to the terrorist groups. The frequency with which such suits are filed is unlikely to diminish, particularly because Congress recently extended the statute of limitations for ATA claims from four to ten years, and in some circumstances even longer. On February 14, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a significant opinion with respect to the ATA's causation requirements. In Rothstein v. UBS AG, the Court held that the plaintiffs had failed adequately to allege that UBS's transfers of funds for the government of Iran were the proximate cause of the plaintiffs' injuries suffered in terrorist attacks by Hamas and Hizbollah in Israel. Rothstein will be an important precedent for financial institutions and other companies in defending themselves against ATA lawsuits.

Zack Snyder Planning 'Justice League' Reshoots With Original Cast
Die-hard Zack Snyder fans will finally get their wish when the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League premieres next year. But by now it should be clear that this director's cut never really existed before, at least not in a finished, screenable form. Snyder and his team are now working on finishing the special effects — and soon will reassemble much of the film's cast for reshoots in October.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Snyder will bring back several of the film's stars for new material that Snyder never got to shoot before he left the project for personal reasons midway through the original production:
The shoot, which will turn the "Snyder Cut" into a four-episode limited series, is expected to bring back Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman for new scenes. Also set to appear on the call sheet for what is expected to be a week-or-so-long shoot is Ray Fisher as Cyborg.
Fisher is currently scheduled to attend despite an ongoing investigation into accusations that Snyder's replacement as director of Justice League, Joss Whedon, engaged in "misconduct and abuse while reshooting Justice League." Fisher has yet to make his specific allegations public, but he's claimed that Whedon's supposed abusive actions were "enabled" by Warners and DC executives Jon Berg and Geoff Johns. Warner Bros. has since begun looking into Fisher's claims, although they've also said publicly that Fisher was "not cooperating" with their investigation. (He disagreed.) Most reports on Snyder's original vision of Justice League claim Cyborg was meant to be a much more important part of the team and the story, so his participation in reshoots will be very important.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is expected on HBO Max in 2021. The finished product will be four hourlong episodes, rather than a single film. No wonder they need to shoot more stuff.

Нарам-Син («Любимый Сином»; XIX век до н. э.) — правитель города Ашшура приблизительно в 1872—1845/1843 годах до н. э.

После него правил его сын Эришум II.

Нарам-Сина Ашшурского не следует путать с царём Аккада Нарам-Сином (имена взаимозаменяемы), который правил на пол тысячелетия раньше. Высказывалось мнение о тождестве ашшурского Нарам-Сина с одноимённым царём Эшнунны, однако это трудно доказать.

Unintended Consequences of UN Sanctions On the Shortlist for the 2023 Bernard Brodie Prize
Since 2009, Contemporary Security Policy (CSP) annually awards the Bernard Brodie Prize to recognize "an outstanding article published in the journal in the previous year". The award is named after the American military strategist Bernard Brodie (1910-1978), author of influential books such as The Absolute Weapon (1946), Strategy in the Missile Age (1959), Escalation and the Nuclear Option (1966), War and Politics (1973), and From Crossbow to H-Bomb (1973, with Fawn M. Brodie). As CSP acknowledges on its website, Brodie established "ideas that remain at the centre of security debates to this day". Moreover, he was "one of the first analysts to cross between official and academic environments" and, importantly, Brodie "pioneered the model of civilian influence that CSP represents". As Brodie underlined, for instance in War and Politics (1973): "the civil hand must never relax, and it must without one hint of apology hold the control that has always belonged to it by right." On November 29, the journal announced its shortlist for the 2023 Bernard Brodie Prize and our open access article "Unintended Consequences of UN Sanctions: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis" (co-authored with Katharina L. Meissner, University of Vienna) was among those selected. The complete shortlist and a collection all previous prize winners can be found on the CSP website.

Later the company opened a branch in Goshen, Indiana. In 1970, Ashley invested in the Wisconsin-based Arcadia Furniture, founded by Thomas Brosseau.
