It's also known as...
#NachosDay
#NationalNachosDay
Sometimes they're hot and spicy. Sometimes they're cheesy. Sometimes they make a mess everywhere. But one thing is certain: they're delicious, and a favorite in many parts of the world!
Yes, we're talking about nachos. What food deserves its own holiday more than nachos? From the kitchens of Texas to the Rose Bowl Stadium, nachos have more than earned their fame.
And their own day, which is, of course, National Nachos Day. Get ready to celebrate!
History of National Nachos Day
The story goes that the origin of Nachos can be traced back to Piedras Negras, Mexico, just across the border from the state of Texas in the USA. In fact, the situation was sort of a fluke, which is how a lot of delicious things get discovered.
One day in 1943, when the wives of some American soldiers stationed nearby came into his restaurant, the man running the place, whose name was Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, had to make them something to eat. The problem was that it was late in the evening, and already a few minutes past closing time, so there wasn't much left in the kitchen! Since Ignacio really didn't have enough ingredients left over to make any real, full dish, he put together a conglomeration of what he did have: a few tortillas, some shredded cheese, and some pickled jalapeno peppers.
Getting creative, "Nacho" cut up the tortillas into pieces, sprinkled what else he had over them, and baked them for a few minutes to melt the cheese before serving them. The women greatly enjoyed this little snack, and when they asked Ignacio what it was called, he answered "Nacho's Especiales".
Word of this hot new snack traveled fast from the army wives and back through Texas and the Southwestern parts of North America! Ignacio Anaya, himself, went on to work at the Moderno Restaurant in Piedras Negras, which still uses the original recipe to this day.
The man even opened his own restaurant later on, called "Nacho's Restaurant", which was in Piedras Negras as well. Not only that, but Anaya's original Nachos recipe was printed in the 1954 St. Anne's Cookbook. This was a fairly important discovery–even if it was a bit of an accident.
A few years later, a modified version of the original dish, with cheese sauce and prepared tortilla chips was marketed in 1976 by businessman Frank Liberto during various sporting events taking place in Arlington, Texas. This version became known as "ballpark nachos".
Nachos can be baked or not. Simple or loaded. Served hot or cold. Piled with beans and peppers and meat. But, no matter how they are served and eaten, Nachos are certainly worthy of celebration and adoration on this day!
How to Celebrate National Nachos Day
Celebrating National Nachos Day can be loads of fun! Try out these ideas or come up with some creative ideas of your own:
Go Out for Nachos
Many restaurants have some version of Nachos on the menu today, in Mexican, Tex-Mex and other style restaurants. Head on out to a restaurant (or ball park!) that serves them and get a tasty pile of tortilla chips drenched with cheese and deliciousness.
Enjoy Nachos in Piedras Negras
For an authentic way to enjoy National Nachos Day, head on down to the place where it all started–the restaurants in Piedras Negras, Mexico. Of course, Ignacio Anaya probably won't be there anymore, but his memory is. Head over to the Moderno Restaurant where Anaya used to work, or enjoy them at just about any restaurant in the town.
Those who are dedicated to the cause might even want to time it so that they can join in on the International Nachos Festival that takes place in this town. They even have a contest for the Biggest Nacho in the WOrld, which was at one point registered in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Throw a National Nachos Day Party
Grab some bags of chips and toppings, and get ready to have a National Nachos Day Party! It's a super-easy way to enjoy the day. Go all out with the theme by decorating with pinatas and other south-of-the-border decors. Then, invite guests to dress up in their favorite Mexican sombreros, serapes, or costumes. It will be a delightful reason to celebrate–and eat tons of delicious nachos.
Watch Nacho Libre
A silly movie that is filled with ridiculous antics (as most films including Jack Black are) this one follows the main character, Ignacio (played by Black). He is a Catholic monk who loves lucha libre, and even secretly moonlights as a freestyle wrestler.
The movie doesn't have a whole lot to do with actual Nachos, except for the name of the main character. But grabbing a few friends, piling up a plate full of nachos and watching the film together would be a great way to celebrate!
Make a Nachos Recipe
Obviously, there is no better way to celebrate National Nachos Day, than to cook up some good old-fashioned nachos on your own. Granted, there are many varieties and toppings, but here is a simple yet delicious recipe for homemade nachos:
1 large (10-12 oz) bag of corn or tortilla chips
8 oz Jack cheese
A large jar of your favorite salsa
A handful of pickled jalapeno slices
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. You could use a microwave, but the chips get much crispier from being in a real oven. Arrange the chips in an oven-safe dish. Spread the chips out–the more you spread them out, the more room there'll be for cheese and the less "disappointing" nachos there will be with next to nothing on them.
Next, grate the cheese, and mix both kinds well. Spread the grated cheese evenly over the chips. Spoon the salsa over the cheese-covered ships, and then sprinkle the jalapeno slices overtop of everything. Bake until the cheese has melted and starts bubbling, about 10-12 minutes, taking care to make sure the nachos do not start burning around the edges.
After you remove them from the oven, WAIT about 1 minute before you dig in. It may seem torturously difficult to wait, but waiting is still much better than burning your mouth, tongue and throat with nearly boiling cheese. Serve while still very warm, and enjoy!

Michigan reports second child flu death of season
LANSING, Mich. (FOX 2) - Michigan health officials say a child from Alpena County is the second in the state to die from the flu this season.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services confirmed this week that the child died from complications of flu. The child was of school-age, but details including the child's name weren't released.
The department in December had announced the death of a child in Osceola County from the flu. It says Michigan now has widespread flu activity.
Other children in the U.S. have died from the flu during the 2018-19 season. Two Michigan children died last flu season from flu-related complications.
The department recommends everyone 6 months of age and older get a seasonal flu vaccine.
The flu is a contagious respiratory disease caused by different strains of the influenza virus.
Last year's flu season was the deadliest since 2009 when H1N1 broke out. In 2018, more than 79,000 Americans died from the flu, 185 of which were children, including two kids from Michigan.
People under the age of 45 were the least likely to report being vaccinated.
The top three reasons why they didn't want the shot were: bad side effects; thinking they'll get the flu from the shot; or thinking it doesn't work.
Some think the side effects are worse than the flu itself, but that's just a myth. Usually the only side effect is a sore arm.
It's also a myth that getting the vaccine gives you the flu. The flu vaccine is inactive and cannot cause the infection. If you do get sick after getting the vaccine, it's just a coincidence.
And while it is true that the vaccine doesn't work 100 percent of the time, the benefit is that it lessens the severity. If you do still get the flu you're 60 percent less likely to need treatment.
Last year's flu season, keep in mind, was particularly severe. More than 900,000 people were hospitalized and more than 80,000 people died. Many were adults older than 65, but also 180 children died from the flu.
Last year's flu season also really didn't peak until January-February, and even extended into March, so it's not too late to get the shot. It takes about two weeks to kick in to full effect.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
FOX 2 reported on this story from Southfield, Mich.

If you are thinking of getting pregnant in the next year let's talk!
Using a holistic approach for your overall well-being and fertility, I will help you look at your nutritional, physical and reproductive health and make a plan for the coming months or years.
Initial meeting and plan: $85 for 3 hours.
$25/hour for subsequent meetings. Minimum 2 hours.
Your general health and well-being impacts your baby's health. I would suggest that you start to think about ways to be in optimal health (optimal for you) before you conceive.
For far too many, pregnancy and birth is still something that happens to them rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves.
Things to think about now.
Introduce more organic foods in to your diet. Or at least avoiding "the dirty dozen". Also, it's good to know that the cost for organic farming is prohibitive for a lot of small farmers, but they still are organic in practice. Check-in with your local farm and see what their farming practices are like.
Protect yourself from toxins and pollutant by making healthy choices when it comes to makeup, body products, household cleaners and detergents.
Commit to de-stressing. Take the time to unwind and relax. Exercise, meditation, yoga, or counselling can be good outlets.
Research is revealing that our environment in the womb can have an affect on our later physical and mental health. A neat TED talk touches on this.
Balance your hips and pelvis. Why? Because, not only will this make pregnancy more comfortable but it will aid in an easier birth. I would suggest seeing your favourite body worker: a physiotherapist, massage therapist, or osteopath to name a few.
Balance your pelvic floor! This means not only focusing on a strong pelvic floor but also a relaxed one. If your pelvic floor is too tight or imbalanced, birth can be very challenging, on the other hand if your pelvic floor is too weak you may find yourself with issues of incontinence during pregnancy or postpartum. If you are a highly athletic person; such as a dancer, runner, avid yogi (you know who you are) horseback rider etc. I would strongly suggest you see a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Actually, I think everyone should see one.
Bring yourself to a body weight that is right for you. The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn't about short-term dietary changes, it's about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating.
And finally, get exercise, in whatever way makes you happy!

…to a patio party! This past weekend, I wanted to get out and enjoy the weather. I attempted to go to Shelby Farms for the Down to Earth Celebration, but that was an epic fail. Good thing: there were a lot of people. Bad thing: there were too many people and not enough time for me. Womp! On to the style plan… I wanted to go with light layers and fun colors. The day was absolutely gorgeous and sunny with a little breeze, which is perfect outside/patio weather!!!!
I opened the closet and heard this Peter Pilotto shirtdress calling my name.
I know folks are probably over this collection by now. I remember how The Style Lineup and I were knocking on Target's door the day the collection debuted. It don't think it sold very well because there were quite a few pieces left to go on clearance. I fell in love with a couple of prints and picked up a few pieces, but I've yet to wear them. Now is as perfect a time as any, no?? Especially before the Alexander Wang x H&M collaboration is launched, which I probably won't be able to get my hands due to the lack of H&M in Memphis. I'm sure online won't be an option…I learned my lesson with Isabel Murant.
Sorry. Got sidetracked. Back to this shirtdress. I honestly wasn't really in the mood for a dress, so I grabbed some jeans, a black tank, and decided use the shirtdress as a vest. Gasp!
All in all, I had a great time at the patio party and I love how the shirtdress turned vest came together. I didn't notice the Janet Jackson moment "my girls" were having until I started editing pictures, so never mind that.
According to Q, many pieces in your wardrobe can be remixed and transformed in a number of ways. Turn a shirtdress into a vest; a dress into a top or a skirt or both; a fitted jacket into a belted top. Either way, you can get more out of your closet and look fabulous while doing so!!!
Can you think of any pieces you could remix?
Did you pick up anything from the Peter Pilotto collection at Target?
Love how you styled it as a vest instead of a dress! I'm rocking a PP shirt today as well!
Thanks Kayla! Which shirt? I still have 2 more pieces (a shirt and a dress) to work in.


Pale Moon is based on the Firefox web browser but specifically optimized for the Microsoft Windows operating system. What sets it apart from Firefox is the fact that its author builds 32-bit and 64-bit builds of Pale Moon by default, optimizes them for Windows, and will keep several existing Firefox features and looks alive.
The browser has gained some popularity as an option to keep true to the Firefox browser itself without having to update Firefox to the new Australis design and layout that Mozilla plans to ship in a couple of months.
Today's release of Pale Moon 24.3.0 introduces another feature that sets it apart. It is now also offered for Intel Atom systems that you find usually in low-end devices such as netbooks.
The Intel Atom builds have low system requirements with 256 Megabytes of free RAM and at least 100 Megabytes of free disk space. It needs to be noted that the browser will run better if the system has additional RAM or hard drive space to spare.
Pale Moon's Intel Atom builds are only available in 32-bit and even though they match the same version number as standard Pale Moon builds, are considered in their early stages by their creator.
What this means, among other things, is that they do not ship with automatic updates right now so that it needs to be updated manually instead. The builds can be downloaded from this page.
That's however not the only change in the latest Pale Moon version. If you have used Pale Moon for a while, you will notice that the page title is displayed on the title bar again. If you are running the stable version of Firefox currently, or an older version of Pale Moon, you may know that the title is not displayed on the title bar in those browsers.
Another change is the removal of the services tab in the add-ons manager. That does not mean that services functionality has been removed though, only that it is not displayed if no services are installed in Pale Moon at that time. Once you install a service, such as Facebook's for Firefox, you will see the services tab displayed there again.
Last but not least, you will also notice that the navigation bar and toolbars won't be hidden anymore when in tabs on top mode and when internal pages and menus are accessed.
Downloads in private windows are now shown again if you are using the classic downloads window.
Gelocation was fixed and is working again. Pale Moon had to switch from Firefox's standard geolocation provide Google to another, as Google is now requiring an API key that only official Firefox builds have access to. Pale Moon switched to IP-API.com instead.
More information link on blocked add-ons is working again.
Malformed letters and scaling issues have been resolved.
The most recent version of Pale Moon can be downloaded as a portable version or setup, for 32-bit or 64-bit versions, from the official project website.
Pale Moon 24.3, a new version of the Firefox based web browser, introduces Intel Atom optimized builds among other new features.
Although Pale Moon's version numeration makes much more sense I hope they will either change it to match the Firefox release cycle or make their own as this right now most know-it-alls that I try to introduce to PM say that it's 'obviously outdated'.
Yes I would expect some reference to which Firefox version it is based on. Very confusing. Is it secret ?
IIRC they change the first number only when something major changes in Firefox (Firefox 24), the second with every next Firefox release (25-> 24.1, 26->24.2) or they introduce something major and the third when they fix something minor or when firefox releases their x.1 version with hotfixes.
No it's not secret. It is based on Mozilla/Firefox ESR version 24, with all security updates, so it's not outdated as some short-sighted people think.
Finally! been waiting for a new release. Maybe now classic compact will work again.
And that is the reason why Pale Moon does not make sense. Especially if the Creator really plans to keep the old UI – in that case expect the majority of add-ons and full themes partially broken or not working at all.
Same Problems for Cyberfox too btw !
Who is looking for an escape of Australis or a futureproof browser should better use Seamonkey or go away from Firefox custom builds, because when Australis hits stable, all the existing third Party rebrands get obsolete!
It won't be obsolete to me.
When Australis hits stable, Pale Moon will be the primary browser that we push instead of Firefox. There is no excuse for the terrible Chrome-style interface at all. I run a computer repair shop and I have more people come in confused by Chrome somehow getting drive-by downloaded and installed and not knowing how to use it than I can count. I hope that everyone possible moves to Pale Moon to protest this change in Firefox.
Wish there was a way to turn off the title bar. I find it distracting and unnecessary. That's the info my tab tells me, I don't need a duplicate of it pulling my eye up to the top of the page–same reason I don't have my tabs on top.
Customize from the Navigation Bar and "Tabs On Top" removes Title Bar.

Cleto Munari. Lady-wristwatch, Hans Hollein 18k gold.
Important watch designed by the austrian architect Hans Hollein for the italian jewelmaker Cleto Munari. Hans Hollein, considered one of the fathers of postmodernism, has designed this watch as an element of a classical architecture.
The watch is new, never worn, with original box, is made of 18 karat of gold, and it comes with a black leather stripes, with a certificate and warranty-card. The dial is also made from gold.
Hans Hollein. Date: 1988
Condition: Never worn
Medium: Gold 18k, electroplate, enamel, and leather
Dimensions: L. 9-1/2, W. 7/8 inches (24.1 x 2.2 cm.)
Classification: Horology
Comment: Article published in New York Times
In the mid- to late 1970s, architects around the world began to question the validity of minimal Modernist architecture and design as providing the universal solution to all environments. There was a renewed appreciation of history and historic details and of local and regional historic contexts and a renewed expression of those historicist interests within popular exhibitions of the era, such as MoMA's renowned display in 1975–76 of 19th-century architectural renderings in watercolour from the École des Beaux-Arts and the First International Architecture Exhibition for the 1980 Venice Biennale, which took as its title and theme "The Presence of the Past." For this show, contemporary architects were encouraged to create streetscapes that related to traditional architectural environments.
It was particularly in the postmodern 1980s that architects such as Michael Graves, Stanley Tigerman, and Hans Hollein created home accessories for companies such as Alessi in Milan and Swid Powell in the United States. Certain designers, including Sottsass and his Memphis colleague Matteo Thun of Austria, became household names, much as Mies and Breuer had been in the Modernist era, when their furniture designs were reissued by Knoll Associates and other companies. International exhibitions and publications, such as "Design Heute" (1988; "Design Today"), a traveling show organized by the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt, displayed these often-outlandish postmodern creations for members of the public and professionals alike.

The eternal ice exerts a quite special attraction on us. At every season the alpine world appears as a rare jewel. Climb into your private and free STOCK ski shuttle and enjoy the comfortable drive to the glacier skiing area in the Zillertal, 3,000 m above sea level and only 15 kms away. In the winter months in particular the ski resort is a delight with its 86 kms of sparkling powder snow pistes and its imposing backdrop. And there's yet more: your ski holiday in the centrally situated STOCK resort sport hotel is predestined for you to get to know all the ski areas of the Zillertal.
The Zillertal fascinates with a total of 487 optimally prepared kilometres of piste, 178 high tech lifts, the Hintertux glacier and absolute snow guarantee. Not to mention the spectacular highlights such as the early morning skiing, the BMX XDrive, the night skiing, the top snowparks and its superlatives such as Austria's steepest descent, the "Harakiri", Austria's largest cable car, the "Ahornbahn", Austria's only all-year-round ski area on the Hintertux glacier and the worldwide first 10-person single cable gondola directly into the glacier area. From Monday to Saturday you will explore the most beautiful ski areas of the Zillertal with our STOCK ski guide: the Zillertal 3000 ski area, the Gerlos-Zillertal Arena, the Kaltenbach-Hochfügen ski area and Mayrhofen.
White carpet: on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays the 19c piste in Zell will also be freshly groomed at lunchtimes.


Luxury is certainly not what comes to mind when someone mentions capsule hotels. Instead the words conjure up images of cramped spaces and discomfort that nobody would put themselves through if they had a choice. But an upcoming hotel in Tokyo's Akihabara district might just change the way people think of capsule hotels. The Anshin Oyado capsule hotel is promising their guests amenities similar to those available at regular hotels.
Your room will still be a narrow cubbyhole, but classed up with cool add-ons including comfortable Simmons-brand bedding, a tablet for games and entertainment and a 17-inch monitor. The hotel will also offer "theater rooms" which will feature 40 inch monitors and guests choosing these rooms can borrow VR headsets.
The hotel will also provide a free breakfast of all you can eat chicken curry.
Self-serve vending machines located in the hotel give out free soft drinks. The hotel's bar will offer sake and microbrew beers to discerning guests.
The hotel sells shirts, underwear, and socks as an added convenience. Though we hear that convenience stores in Japan often feature these items. You can wash your own clothes at the hotel's laundromat.
If you're stressed out, the hotel's basement includes a hot spring-style man-made mineral bath.
The hotel will open on July 27, with rates starting at 4,180 yen a night (around $40 at current exchange).
Unfortunately, the Anshin Oyado hotel serves only male guests, the rest of us had better start praying for a similarly upscale capsule hotel service.

Viktor Deni and Nikolai Dolgorukov, Glory to Stalin's Falcons–the Conquerors of Aerial Elements!, 1937
Viktor Deni and Nikolai Dolgorukov (дени, долгоруков), Glory to Stalin's Falcons–the Conquerors of Aerial Elements! (Слава Сталинским Соколам – покорителям воздушной стихии!), 1937
A significant genre of Soviet propaganda was concerned with documenting and publicising great Soviet achievements, crediting them all to the Revolution, the Party, and ultimately the brilliance of the great enabler whom history had placed in the role of the leader.
Stalin was effusively credited with not only facilitating all of the successes of the Soviet Union, but with such apparently miraculous abilities as keeping his aviators and polar explorers warm against the Arctic cold. Stalin was able to do this by virtue of the breadth and depth of his paternal care.
The 1937 poster 'Glory to Stalin's falcons — the conquerors of aerial elements!' by Viktor Deni and Nikolai Dolgorukov, celebrates the historic and dangerous flight from Moscow to the United States via the North Pole without even identifying the men directly involved in the flight (Valerii Chkalov, Georgii Baidukov and Aleksandr Beliakov).
One could be forgiven for thinking that Stalin had piloted this historic flight himself, as there is no mention of the legendary aviators on the poster
Instead, the focus is on Stalin, whose profile image sketched on a red flag sits above the city of Moscow in the mid-left of the poster.
The centre of the poster is dominated by a flat view of the globe from the North Pole, with the USSR positioned to the bottom, and the United States tucked away at the top. The large landmass of the USSR is coloured Soviet red, and extended by the adjoining red flag, which billows across the globe in a symbol of Soviet domination.
Moscow is vibrant and alive, sketched in sacred Soviet red
A well-populated Moscow bustles below, the people carrying a sea of red flags and banners. The route of the historic flight is traced by a thick red line through the North Pole, the centre of the poster, which swoops upwards through Canada to the United States.
Washington is colourless and without character
While Moscow is sketched in vibrant red, features the identifiably 'Russian' towers of the Kremlin, and is densely populated, Washington is a colourless and unpopulated landscape of featureless and indistinct skyscrapers.
The steep red line that marks out the route is reminiscent also of the line on a graph, the upward swoop registering success and progress, as well as the trajectory of takeoff.
The Tupolev 25 used to complete the record-breaking flight has the words 'Stalin's falcons' inscribed on its side
Almost as large as the globe itself, and larger than the whole territory of the United States, are the images of the two Soviet planes that sweep across the top of the poster, and to which Stalin's gaze directs our eye. The nearer, larger plane is marked with the number 25 (the Tupolev 25 flown on the mission), the abbreviation USSR, and its body is inscribed with the words 'Stalin's falcons'.
The text reinforces the association of this historic accomplishment with Stalin, proclaiming glory to 'Stalin's falcons', rather than to the individuals involved, and also reiterates the key Soviet priority for conquering nature and the elements.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) — The U.S. Defense Department on Monday identified the SEAL killed during a successful raid to free a captive doctor in Afghanistan.
Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas D. Checque, 28, of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, died Saturday during the effort to free Dr. Dilip Joseph, the Navy said. NATO commanders believed Joseph was in imminent danger from his captors when the raid took place.
While the Defense Department announcement said only that Checque belonged to an "East Coast-based Special Warfare Unit," a U.S. official said the man was a member of the Navy's Special Warfare Development Group, more commonly known as SEAL Team Six. The elite unit is the same one that took part in the raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The official didn't know if the SEAL who died was involved in that operation.
"He gave his life for his fellow Americans, and he and his teammates remind us once more of the selfless service that allows our nation to stay strong, safe and free," President Barack Obama said of the slain SEAL before his identity was made public.
Armed men kidnapped Joseph and two other staff members for the international aid group Morning Star on Wednesday as they returned from a rural medical clinic in eastern Kabul province.
Tribal leader Malik Samad and district chief Muhammad Haqbeen told CNN that Joseph and an Afghan doctor were abducted near the village of Jegdalek in the Sarobi district, just outside Kabul.
Morning Star said negotiations began "almost immediately" with the captors and went on sporadically into Saturday night, when two of the three were released.
The Afghan doctor's family paid $12,000 to the smugglers, Haqbeen and Samad said. Morning Star denied paying any "ransom, money or other consideration" to win the release of its staffers, and the raid to free Joseph came 11 hours later after the other two were released.
Checque joined the Navy in 2002, according to a brief service record provided by the Defense Department. After attending recruit training in Illinois and advanced training in Virginia, he entered the seal program in April 2003.
He was assigned to his first SEAL unit in August 2004, and transferred to a second unit, presumably SEAL Team Six, in September 2008.
He received the Bronze Star and several other awards during his 10-year Naval career.
The rescued doctor, Joseph, has worked with Morning Star for three years. He serves as its medical adviser, and travels frequently to Afghanistan, the agency said.
Morning Star did not release the identities of the other two men, citing safety concerns.
Joseph is expected to return home to Colorado Springs, Colorado, within a few days, after medical examinations and debriefings, the agency sad.
On Sunday, his family extended condolences to the slain sailor's family.
Thank you for your service. RIP. God bless your family My prayers are with you.

It is pretty quiet in the garden with only three chickens which is both good and bad. I love planting but the chickens sadly doesn't see the difference between weeds and flowers… But as sure as I've already ordered new seeds I've started looking for eggs to buy. I am really happy with Hedemora and whatever mix race the new hens are but we've decided(well my daughter did) that we will be shallow and order fertilised eggs from hens that lay different coloured eggs. So now it's just to wait for one of the hens to become broody. I paid a visit to Fotö where the 4 hens live that we sold before the fox came. So surreal, I think of them all gone, so to see Buffy, Vera, Captain Pugwash and Renee Biggs is like they've come back to life. They are very happy over there though! Sharing their home with the wild goose Gizmo. Gizmo was found as an egg(yes I know it's illegal to pick eggs from wild birds but a kid found it and if they had put it back it would probably have been shunned). They hatched it in an egg hatcher and we saw him when he was just 2 days old, tiny fluffy thing with flippers. Now he's huge! They are not friends but tolerate each other. Gizmo must like his home thought because his wings aren't clipped and sometimes he'll do a tour of the island but he always comes back.
I am naturally very careful with closing the chickens in now after our fox visit, they usually head inside as soon as it starts getting dark but the last two nights that I've gone to close the hens in they have still been outside. Tonight I watched Lottie try to fly up in the cherry tree but she failed. She is definitely Esme reincarnated! I know that in a few weeks when it gets warmer I will have to climb that cherry tree every evening to collect her. Wouldn't surprise me if she learns how to cockadoodeldoo as well as Esme did.
I spent all day cleaning out Christmas and also because my husbands birthday happens to fall on the day Christmas is officially over(in Sweden anyways). Gosh I must say we are probably the messiest family I know but then it feels all the nicer when it's done! I'm not the only one on the island being busy, all the youngsters on Hönö have their hands full. From day after xmas until Easter they are out, mainly boys between 7-25, looking for xmas trees. They ditch school, stay out all night and cycle around every nook and cranny on the islands(well the older one's have Volvos). Last night I saw a light behind the barn, a car without the lights on and heard some noise so I thought I had to check it out. Of course it was xmas tree gatherers. I told them they are welcome to look around but please close all doors behind you. They were so friendly and helpful that something in the back of my head thought -hmmm maybe they weren't looking but actually hiding? The next morning I had a look in "veboa", a small shed behind the barn/gallery where I keep my wood, it was packed with trees! I'm really impressed with their technique, they've tied loads of trees together with ropes to fit in a small place. I told them that I would chuck out my tree Friday and they were very grateful. A lot of people think this tradition is a nuisance and should be stopped but I think it's great. If you're curious about where the trees end up read my earlier posts The big hunt is on! and You know you live on an Island when. It will be interesting got see how long they'll stay in Veboa before another team finds them.

OLE Rooms: This Jaipur-based startup may disrupt OYO Rooms with rent starting Rs 199
Srinivasan Vedam • March 17, 2021 • India, Recent, Top Stories
Due to facing an inability while looking for accommodations as an engineering aspirant in Kota, 18-year-old Devandra Sharma met with a medical emergency. This led him to start an online marketplace for renting flats, paying guest houses and hostels at low prices – Rs199 per day. Starting in 2018, this Jaipur-based OLE Rooms lets people discover, list and book accommodations on a shared or individual basis for a wishful period (for a day or more than a year at ground touching rates without brokerage).
A fresh motivated graduate of the Poornima College of Engineering, Jaipur, Devendra, now 21, was searching for a home in Kota back in the year 2017.
Devendra Sharma, Founder & CEO, OLE Rooms
"I and my father kept looking for rooms all day long," says Devendra. "But my father, who had blood pressure and diabetes, collapsed and I had to rush him to a hospital in Kota."
The incident made him think about the problems other students must be facing as well in finding suitable accommodation.
He spoke about how he empathizes with millions of young people who would be searching for a room every day and wasting time on it.
"I thought, why not make such a platform where people can see the room and book it with ease?" He started working on the plan and chose Sitapura in Jaipur as his initial focal point because it has several engineering colleges and a sizeable student population.
Must Read: You don't necessarily need to be born rich to be successful: SMART goal setting is one secret ingredient
He mentioned that he started with 1 hostel and now the company has more than 3,000 hostels, PG rooms, and flats on its platform. The selling point is that the platform is built in a way that it is easy for anybody to look for accommodation location-wise and do the on-boarding on the platform itself.
He adds that every listing on the platform is verified. Devendra heads a team of 10 employees, who take care of more than 3,000 listings across places such as Kota, Bharatpur, Jaipur, Bikaner, Ajmer and Sikar.
Devendra also says that OLE's low prices, along with meals available for a per day range of only Rs 100, and are its USP against competitors such as Zolostays, Zostel, Hostelworld and OYO.
OLE runs on both B2B as well as B2C models. For B2B, it has joined hands with various companies that use OLE for their clients and employees. In terms of B2C, the startup charges a commission from an accommodation provider on a listing.

Egg-less sugar cookies with royal icing were on my "to try" list and I wish to bake completely out of eggs and I had always wanted to try royal icing... So while surfing I found an easy recipe for egg less sugar cookies. I finally made them. The result was really good. They're irresistible! SO soft and their frosting is just so perfect. I want to make them again!
Baking inspiration comes from everywhere and today my inspiration comes from Aparna. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!
Note: I didn't change any measurement. I just followed her instruction.
1.Beat the sugar and butter together in a bowl, with a hand mixer, till smooth and fluffy.
2.Add the milk and vanilla and beat until combined. Set aside.
3.In another bowl bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients in batches, and mix well by hand till combined.
4. If the dough isn't quite coming together, add a tsp or so of milk and knead. Do not be tempted to add too much milk or knead more than necessary to bring the dough into a ball which can be rolled out, as you cookies will become tough.
5.Roll the dough out uniformly till just about 1/4" thick. Cut out cookies and place them on ungreased cookie sheets. You can place them quite close to each other as the cookies will not spread out or puff up much.
6.Bake them at 180C (350F) for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your cookies.
7.When done the cookies must still be pale and just beginning to turn golden at the edges. Let them cool on the tray for about 5 minutes and then cool completely on a rack.
1.Sift the sugar and cornstarch together and put it into a bowl.
2.Add the the lemon juice and the milk, 1 tsp at a time, until the mixture becomes a smooth, but thick paste.
3.Divide the icing into different bowls according to the colours you need. Add a few drops of required colour to each bowl and mix till you get the shade you want.
4.Keep for about 10 minutes till all the air bubbles come to the top.
5.The icing will harden if left open so put it into your piping bags and keep ready for use.
Woww royal icing with eggs, thanks for sharing..I was searching eggless royal icing since a long..Cookies looks damn pretty Akka..
colourful batch of cookies, akka. i like that icing you've made.
I'm happy they've turned out so well and that you liked them too.
They look so nice,the icing really is so pretty, especially the colour combo u have used!
Wowie !!! Nice colors !!! Keep posting.

Q: Database Optimization techniques for amateurs Can we get a list of basic optimization techniques going (anything from modeling to querying, creating indexes, views to query optimization). It would be nice to have a list of these, one technique per answer. As a hobbyist I would find this to be very useful, thanks.
And for the sake of not being too vague, let's say we are using a maintstream DB such as MySQL or Oracle, and that the DB will contain 500,000-1m or so records across ~10 tables, some with foreign key contraints, all using the most typical storage engines (eg: InnoDB for MySQL). And of course, the basics such as PKs are defined as well as FK contraints.

A: IMO, by far the best optimization is to have the data model fit the problem domain for which it was built. When it does not, the resulting symptom is difficult-to-write or convoluted queries in order to get the information desired and that typically rears itself when reports are built against the database. Thus, in designing a database it helps to have an idea as to the types and nature of the information, such as reports, that the users will want from the system.

A: When talking database design, check out the database normalization, e.g. the wikipedia article: Normal forms.
If you have a good design and still you need to optimize for performance, try Denormalisation.
If you have specific needs which are not covered by relational model efficiently, look at other models covered by the term NoSQL.

A: Some query/schema optimizations:

*

*Be mindful when using DISTINCT or GROUP BY. I find that many new developers will use DISTINCT in places where it really is not needed or could be rewritten more efficiently using an Exists statement or a derived query.

*Be mindful of Left Joins. All too often I find new SQL developers will ignore the schema in place and use Left Joins where they really are not necessary. For example:
Select
From Orders
    Left Join Customers
        On Customers.Id = Orders.CustomerId
If Orders.CustomerId is a required column, then it is not necessary to use a left join.

*

*Be a student of new features. Currently, MySQL does not support common-table expressions which means that some types of queries are cumbersome and probably slower to write than they would be if CTEs were supported. However, that will not be true forever. Keep up on new syntax features in MySQL which might be used to make existing queries more efficient.

*You do not have to use surrogate keys everywhere. There might be tables better suited to an intelligent key (e.g. US State abbreviations, Currency Codes etc) which would enable developers to avoid additional joins in many cases.

*If possible, find ways of archiving data to an OLAP or reporting server. The smaller you can make the production data, the faster it will run.

A: A design that concisely models your problem is always a good start. Overgeneralizing the data model can lead to performance problems. For example, I've heard reports of projects striving for uber-flexibility that use the RDBMS as a dumb "name/value" store - and resulting performance was appalling.
Once a good design is in place, then use the tools provided by the RDBMS to help it achieve good performance. Single field PKs (no composites), but composite business keys as an index with unique constraint, use of appropriate data types, e.g. using appropriate numeric types for numeric values rather than char or similar. Physical attributes of the hardware the RDBMS is running on should also be considered, since the bulk of query time is often disk I/O - but of course don't take this for granted - use a profiler to find out where the time is going.
Depending upon the update/query ratio, materialized views/indexed views can be useful in improving performance for slow running queries. A poor-man's alternative is to use triggers to invoke a procedure that populates the table with a result of a slow-running, infrequently-changed view.
Query optimization is a bit of a black art since it is often database-dependent, but some rules of thumb are given here - Optimizing SQL.
Finally, although possibly outside the intended scope of your question, use a good data access layer in your application, and avoid the temptation to roll your own - there are surely tested and performant implementations available for all major languages. Use of caching at the data access layer, middle tier and application layer can help improve performance considerably.

A: Learn about indexes, and use them properly. Generally speaking*, follow these guidelines:

*

*Every table should have a clustered index

*Fields used for filters and sorts are good candidates for indexing

*More selective fields are better candidates for indexing

*For best performance on crucial queries, design "covering indexes" for those queries

*Make sure your indexes are actually being used, and remove those that aren't

*If your table has 15 fields, and you make 15 indexes, each with only a single field, you're  doing it wrong :)

*There are some exceptions to these rules if you know what you're doing. My experience is Microsoft SQL Server, but I would presume most of this advice would still apply to a different RDMS.

A: Do use less query whenever possible. Use "JOIN", and group your tables so that a single query gives your results.
A good example is the Modified Preorder Tree Transversal (MPTT) to get all of a tree node parents, ordered, in a single query.

A: Take a holistic approach to optimization.
Consider the impact of slow disks, network latency, lack of memory, and server load.

Boogaloo is the original NYC hybrid, blending classic Latin rhythms and instrumentation with popular Harlem 60s pop and soul.
Boogaloo is the original NYC hybrid, blending classic Latin rhythms and instrumentation with popular Harlem 60s pop and soul. It has made a local come back with bands like Spanglish Fly at the helm.
"You want to get with me, you better learn how to ride bike," lead singer Erica Ramos declares from the stage at Brooklyn's Battle of the Boroughs. Spanglish Fly is an eleven-piece outfit fronted by the energetic alto who has a knack for getting the audience involved in the show. At Barbes or Nublu, where they play regularly, the band teaches concertgoers to shake something in twos, with a boogaloo twirl that gets the dance floor going strong.
"Yeah Baby, you got it," Erica will exclaim with a nod, encouraging participants to take advantage of the percussion, horns, piano and guitars that grace the stage in easy rhythms and choral cheers. Spanglish Fly usually does two sets of classics mixed up with original songs like "Me Gusta Mi Bicicleta" and "Let My People Boogaloo." The players are a bit like the songs, a blend of seasoned musicians alongside young feistier counterparts. The entire unit is fueled by smiles and bounce with cozy renditions of tunes in a relaxed homage to mid-century organ and drums plus island music en español. The band looks to enjoy the whole arrangement, generating live party music rooted in NYC history.
This next week Spanglish Fly joins their regular collaborator in festejar, DJ Turmix, whose monthly in the East Village has helped to rev up the retro fire surrounding boogaloo boogie down. The group will bring their usually late-night festivities to an early situation at Le Poisson Rouge.
Johnny Colon is a legendary performer from the original era and headlines the show being held to benefit the East Harlem Music School. DJ Turmix organized the event and brought in the band that includes ten bopping instrumentalists, one flirting and vamping hot-cookie of a singer in updo and tattoos, and an audience of dancing duos. Outside there will no doubt be a sidewalk full of bicicletas parked and ready to ride.

IMB workers see Light break through Scotland's gray skies
Patrick and Erin Schwartz have had to get used to the darkness that often clouds Scotland's beauty. According to the World Weather Information Service, Scotland only has around 100 days of sunshine each year. That leaves most days rainy or cloudy.
Patrick says their family has missed the sunshine they enjoyed in New England, but after a few months back in the U.S. on a stateside assignment, they are ready to return to Glasgow this spring. Having lived there for three years, it now feels like home.
Patrick explains that one of the biggest blessings from their first term as IMB missionaries was connecting to a local church in Scotland—Refuge Glasgow. This family of faith has provided a church home for them and their two daughters, McKinley, 6, and Rowen, 1. The church has also provided key ministry partners for reaching their neighborhoods for Christ.
"While we were certainly glad to come alongside them in the work of the gospel, we felt like we received the greater blessing," Patrick says.
"The church has become a backbone for what we are trying to do in our community. It is a visible expression of Christ's love."
Erin has focused much of her ministry on connecting with other mothers at McKinley's school and in her neighborhood, which she describes as very diverse.
"We didn't realize how diverse Glasgow would be. Half the kids in McKinley's school speak Arabic and come from Muslim backgrounds," Erin says.
One mother Erin met is Meiying. Meiying grew up in China, but now lives in Scotland with her husband who is a university professor. Erin had actually been to the city in China where Meiying went to university. For Erin, that journey to China was her first mission trip.
Their friendship in Glasgow grew and though they often talked of spiritual things, Meiying was not interested in Erin's initial invitation to study the Bible. However, after asking Erin why she always looked so peaceful, Meiying asked if she could visit their church. Erin and Patrick brought her with them to Refuge Church, and Erin gave her a Chinese/English Bible. When Erin asked again if they could meet for Bible study, her friend accepted the invitation.
"Over the course of the year, Meiying grew in her knowledge and understanding of God and what it means to follow Jesus," says Erin. "I had the privilege of watching the Lord work in her heart and life and walking alongside her as she repented of her sins and placed her faith in Jesus."
In December 2019, Meiying publicly confessed her faith in Jesus and was baptized. "I now have true inner peace because I follow and trust the words of 1 John 1:9," she told the church before her baptism. "I have experienced true repentance. I have been forgiven of my sins and I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior."
Meiying is now connected with Refuge Glasgow and has a family of faith to support her and disciple her. Patrick and Erin are grateful for Meiying's involvement at the church and are hopeful that others in her family will come to faith as well. They also feel very blessed that they have been able to see the fruit of their work in a country where people do not often respond to the gospel.
Patrick describes the culture of Scotland as typically "post-Christian," with little interest in spiritual things. Churches that used to hold worshipers now stand empty or have been converted into local pubs. Drug use and violence in Glasgow remain on the rise and the dark skies of many rainy days reflect the spiritual darkness of the country. But Erin and Patrick see the Light of Christ penetrating the darkness. That Light gives them hope and calls them home.

Taliban captures key Kandahar district as Afghan troops suffer wave of defeats in wake of US withdrawal
The Taliban has seized a key district in Kandahar province after pushing Afghan troops out of the area, adding to a growing list of victories against government forces amid the US military's exit from the country.
The militant group took the Panjwai district following a fierce overnight battle with soldiers loyal to Kabul, AFP reported, citing regional officials. Panjwai District Governor Hasti Mohammad said government troops retreated from the area following the clashes, and that the Taliban had seized the district police headquarters as well as the governor's office building. Kandahar Provincial Council head Sayed Jan Khakriwal confirmed the fall of Panjwai, but accused Afghan forces of "intentionally withdrawing."
The district has seen regular fighting between Taliban and Afghan forces over the years, due to its strategically significant proximity to Kandahar city, the provincial capital. Capturing Panjwai may have more than just military significance for the Taliban, as the group traces its roots to Kandahar.
The insurgents' territorial gains in the southern province come just two days after US-led forces pulled out of one of the coalition's main military hubs in the country, Bagram Air Base, located near Kabul. The United States has accelerated its withdrawal from Afghanistan in recent weeks, while some NATO allies have already fully exited from the war-torn nation.
The pullout comes as Afghan forces suffer a string of defeats at the hands of the Taliban. The insurgents claim to have captured more than 100 out of Afghanistan's nearly 400 districts, amid an uptick in fighting that has coincided with the US military's exit. Kabul has disputed these figures, while acknowledging that government forces have pulled out from some districts.
On Saturday, several hundred Afghan border troops sought refuge in neighboring Tajikistan after a major offensive by the Taliban. More than a dozen districts, mostly in Afghanistan's northeastern Badakhshan Province, have fallen into the hands of the insurgents over the past 24 hours, according to local media citing security sources.
President Joe Biden refused to answer questions on Friday about the US pullout and the worsening security situation in Afghanistan, telling reporters that he wanted to talk about "happy things."
The Trump administration had originally brokered a deal that called for a full withdrawal by May, but Biden extended the deadline until September 11. However, most of the remaining US forces in the country are expected to leave by July 4. Around 1,000 regular soldiers are slated to remain and guard the US Embassy complex in Kabul and the capital's international airport. Special forces troops may also continue anti-terrorism operations in the country.

What does ?phone support? mean in the arena of Internet hosting?
In case you've ever had a shared hosting account before or you have dealt with any other online service, you're probably well aware from personal experience that for a lot of things it's better to talk to a live person on the phone than to exchange support tickets or e-mail messages. If you'd like to learn more about a particular service before you decide to order it or in case something small-scale should be done, for instance, it will be much easier and a lot faster to get it done live. When you're given the option to talk with representatives over the phone, it is also very likely that you're dealing with a real hosting supplier, not a reseller. The type of support that you can get on the phone varies between different providers - from general issues to dedicated tech support. Typically most of the providers will offer you pre-sales assistance and first level telephone support, while more complex technical matters are handled through e-mail and / or tickets.
Phone Support in Shared Hosting
Because we have live telephone support 14 hrs a day, you can contact us and consult with one of our customer support representatives to find out more about any of the shared hosting that we provide and ensure that our servers match the system requirements for your web sites before purchasing anything. For your convenience, we now have telephone numbers on three different continents and you're able to call the one nearer to you - in the United States of America, Great Britain or Australia. If you're already a customer, you can give us a call about general and billing issues, or even about some technical matters. In case the trouble is strictly technical or it requires more time to investigate, you'll have to go through our ticketing system, that will allow both you and our tech support crew to keep track of the information given by either side.
Phone Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
We provide live phone support 14 hrs a day as part of the support services for every single semi-dedicated server plan that we offer. Considering the fact that some issues are more difficult and time-consuming, you may have to open a support ticket if you come across such an issue, but for all your billing, general or small-scale tech issues you can always call us and we will assist you immediately in order to save you the time you'll have to spend on opening a support ticket. Even if you don't have an account yet, you are able to find out whether you can host your sites on our state-of-the-art cloud platform or you will be able to get any other general info about our semi-dedicated solutions. We have local numbers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia plus a global number, so you'll be able to call the one that is closer to where you are.

Katine is a sub-county in the Soroti District of Uganda. It contains 66 villages, one of which is also called Katine.

Since October 2007, the sub-county has been the focus of a three-year aid programme, undertaken by AMREF, with funding from Barclays Bank and donations from readers of The Guardian newspaper, which is tracking the project. AMREF's Katine Community Partnerships Project is aiming to improve living conditions, working across five key components: water, health, education, livelihoods and governance. The NGO Farm Africa is helping with the livelihoods component, and in 2016 embarked on a new project to help the Katine farming cooperative sell their produce in high-value regional markets. Much of the publicity surrounding the project focuses on the village but it is the entire sub-county that is the target of the project. The Guardian newspaper returned to Katine in December 2015 to report on the progress made.

"Our entire company and national meeting were blown away by Rob Crosby and his great entertainment. Rob moved us. People every week have mentioned his name. I know how important it is to try to please groups looking for entertainment. This was the best decision I have ever made in this regard."
Leighton Cubbage, Chairman and CEO, Champion Communications
"We've enjoyed having Rob a number of times with a variety of clients. His shows are a fresh and entertaining option to more conventional corporate entertainment, and our guests never fail to express the fun they've had."
Bill McDougald, VP, Executive Director, Southern Progress Magazine
"I had the most extraordinary experience of working with Rob Crosby and his singer songwriter allies. The scene was set at Opryland Hotel, and each musician coached two teams of 15 attendees. Singing, laughing, writing, and rewriting ensued over the hour long teambuilding event. What emerged were a series of songs that were performed, on stage, to the sheer delight of all attendees. The camaraderie was astounding and each team's pride in both creating their song and performing it topped any event I've seen! Rob and his musical teammates went on to perform for the engaged crowd---who I'm sure had a new and appreciative insight into collaborative writing and the world of singer-songwriters!"
Paul B. Silvestri

Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee Releases Annual Report to Congress
Contributed By: National Park Service
Website: http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/REVIEW/Reports_to_Congress/RTC_Mar2016.pdf
WASHINGTON – The National Park Service has released the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Committee's annual report to Congress. The report includes the Review Committee's progress and challenges faced in 2015, as well as recommendations for implementing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
In 2015, the Review Committee informed museums and federal agencies of ongoing compliance requirements. The Review Committee made a finding of fact on the cultural affiliation of human remains from a site in Missouri and heard six requests from museums and federal agencies for recommendations on disposition plans for culturally unidentifiable human remains.
The Review Committee also identified challenges faced by tribes, museums, and agencies in completing the NAGPRA process, including inadequate funding or capacity, incomplete inventories or reporting from museums and federal agencies, lack of appropriate places for reburial, and the need to clarify parts of the law or regulations. The Review Committee proposed seven recommendations to Congress to address these issues:
Continue to support and increase grant funding, especially to Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations to build institutional capacity and meet the requirements of the Congressional policy of Indian self-determination;
Fulfill the statutory requirements of NAGPRA by providing adequate and consistent staffing and support to the National NAGPRA Program;
Support federal agency compliance with NAGPRA, including inventories of federal collections in non-federal repositories;
Support stronger enforcement measures by the Review Committee and the National NAGPRA Program, as well as the Secretary of the Interior, to better deal with compliance issues;
Enact legislation to further protect Native American burials by providing methods to protect public lands, or allow Tribes to acquire public lands, in order to provide areas for reburial;
Support broader opportunities for reburial of Native American ancestors on federal lands, including national parks; and
Hold hearings to determine whether amendments to the Act should be considered that would expedite the repatriation process, and support the National NAGPRA Program in revisions to the current regulations.
The Review Committee, authorized by the NAGPRA of 1990, monitors, reviews, and assists in the implementation of certain requirements of the Act and reports to Congress annually. Members are appointed by the Secretary of the Interior from nominations by Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, traditional Native American religious leaders, national museum organizations, and scientific organizations.
A copy of the report is available on the National NAGPRA website: www.nps.gov/nagpra.

Hello! I am a great-great-great granddaughter of Hulsaver's. My great-great Grandfather was a Hulsaver and his daughter Sarah/Sadie was my great grandmother. I would love to know more. Did my DNA with 23 and me and I know she was born/raised on a canal boat. My family is from Buffalo.
Hi, Holly and Ethel! I matched with up with the info on Mary Jane Douglass who married William Henry Hulsaver. My ancestors are the Hulsavers of the Erie Canal. I have record of Sarah Ann Hulsaver (1840-1893), daughter of Christopher Hulsaver (1813-1886) who I believe is brother — but have not been able to confirm— to my ggg grandfather Henry Hulsaver (1810-1872). Would love to know more!


I love that I have written Ask Joan for many years. It's fun to look back at what changes and stays the same over time. Like, you know, how every two years, I complain about how much mulching I have to do at my house?
You can consider this the 2015 installment, as boyfriend Dan and I spent all of last weekend weeding and laying 21+ bags of mulch, all while I was generally listing in my head the virtues of renting over home ownership. A 2013 Ask Joan as well as a 2011 one mention the same plight.
But it looks SO NICE when it's finished!
1. In East Manchester Township, there's a road called Jerusalem School Road with an abandoned one room schoolhouse on it. Do you know anything about this building?
I'd answered Michael a little while ago about the Jerusalem one-room school, which was in use pre-1950s (when consolidation happened among almost all of York County's schools). Interestingly, the Starview Sportsmen's Association used the building as its headquarters from 1953 to 1965, which extended its use a bit!
But I told Michael that I'd seek other memories and details about this one-room school in a future column, as York County's former schoolhouses are of particular interest to me.
Would love any personal stories of the Jerusalem school that you have to share; in the meantime, those looking for more information might try the I grew up in Manchester/Mount Wolf and surrounding areas – Pennsylvania Facebook group.
And you can read much more about York County's one-room schools on Stephen Smith's YorksPast blog and Jim McClure's York Town Square blog!
2. Reader Jim Herman wrote to me after seeing a past column that mentioned Lancaster County's Rocky Springs Amuseument Park.
Jim shared the video below, titled "A Rocky Springs Saturday Night," that is sure to jog memories of others who visited that location!
It was great to see that video and learn more about this nearby family and date destination!
3. Earlier this year, reader Jerry Erb asked if anyone remembered gas explosion in the Davidsburg area of Dover Township. He recalled it but could find little to no info, and I similarly struck out.
Well, reader Pat Lehman came to the rescue.
You can see that small article here. Now that I have the date – Jan. 23, 1957 – I am going to dig deeper into our local archives and see what I can find!
If anyone else has a memory of this explosion to share, I would certainly be interested.
Any recollections of this? I'm especially interested in anything that would help me nail down a date to dig deeper!

I'm headed to Dartmouth at the invitation of old friend Terry Tempest Williams, to show Profit and Loss and Islands of Sanctuary on Wednesday. Terry has hiked the area of eastern Utah where development of tar sands is looming, and she and many others in Utah are justifiably worried. Activists occupied the area and were arrested blockading road construction last summer and when Terry and I showed the Standing on Sacred Ground films in Salt Lake City last December many of the tar sands activists were in the audience. They're now using Profit and Loss to raise awareness in Utah about the ecological and public health impacts of tar sands in Alberta.
The Utah activists have important allies in Canada. With the electric rise of Idle No More, First Nations' leadership has placed all of the many proposed tar sands pipeline projects in serious legal limbo.
There is also fierce local opposition to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, 400 miles north of Vancouver, which would require a new marine export terminal for more supertankers.
Lest we forget about the east coast, TransCanada (in addition to Keystone XL) wants to build "Energy East" to the Atlantic coast at a cost of $10 billion, to carry 1.1 million barrels per day across 2,850 miles. Serge Simon, Grand Chief of the Mohawks of Kanesatake, near Montreal, says his community will use blockades to stop the project, which he's certain will pollute land and water. "Blockades have been a very useful tool in the past, and despite the threat of being locked up for life, I don't think that's going to stop us," he told Reuters.
It's not just protests and constraints on getting oil out of Alberta that threaten the industry. The low price of oil is killing new tar sands development. A study prepared for the U.S. State Department's review of the Keystone XL pipeline estimated that tar sands projects become unprofitable at prices below $65-75 a barrel. Prices recently fell under $50 and have been hovering between $50-60 per barrel. The last decade's rapid expansion in Alberta has all but stopped.
In February, Occidental Petroleum curtailed its activities in Canada's tar sands. Three large expansion projects were abandoned in the past year: Shell canceled the long-planned Pierre River Mine, which would have produced 200,000 barrel per day; Total, the French oil giant, canceled the proposed $11 billion Joslyn mine (160,000 barrels per day); and Statoil, the Norwegian oil company, shelved a major expansion project worth $1 billion.
Were we to burn all of the recoverable tar sands oil in Alberta it would add 22 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere. Scientists estimate this would cause an increase of 0.4 degrees C. in global temperature. Many thoughtful people are now calling for "stranded assets" to be the environmental and social justice movements' first priority: the tar sands should be left in the ground.
Some good news—and an important struggle you can help: The Beaver Lake Cree Nation is fighting an important court case challenging tar sands leases as treaty violations. You can help the Beaver Lake Cree by contributing to a new crowd-funding initiative to support their landmark case to protect traditional lands and constitutionally-guaranteed treaty rights to "hunt, fish, and trap in perpetuity." Please donate today to support the Beaver Lake Cree!
Next week (the third and final part of this blog): What are the Koch Brothers doing with two million acres of Alberta's tar sands?
P.S. Proof that great minds think alike, just after posting this blog, The Guardian published a piece by Crystal Lameman of the Beaver Lake Cree Nation, "Life Above Albert's Tar Sands—Why We Are Taking the Government to Court." Check it out!
