History of the Americas
Journey Of Navajo Oshley
An Autobiography and Life History
by Robert McPherson
Ak'é Nýdzin, or Navajo Oshley, was born sometime between 1879 and 1893. His oral memoir is set on the northern frontier of Navajo land, principally the San Juan River basin in southeastern Utah, and tells the story of his early life near Dennehetso and his travels, before there were roads or many towns, from Monument Valley north along Comb Ridge to Blue Mountain. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anglos and Navajos expanded their use and settlement of lands north of the San Juan. Grazing lands and the Anglo wage economy drew many Navajos across the river. Oshley, a sheepherder, was among the first to settle there. He cared for the herds of his extended family, while also taking supplemental jobs with the growing livestock industry in the area.
His narrative is woven with vivid and detailed portraits of Navajo culture: clan relationships, marriages and children, domestic life, the importance of livestock, complex relations with the natural world, ceremonies, trading, and hand trembling.

49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Buckner doesn't practice, Kerley limited
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
49ers-Cardinals Injury Report: Buckner doesn't practice, Kerley limited
Oct 4, 2016 at 2:56 PM • --
For the second day in a row, San Francisco 49ers DE DeForest Buckner (foot) didn't practice. He was injured during the 49ers' 24-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
"He's day-to-day right now and we're still optimistic for Thursday for him," 49ers defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil said today regarding Buckner. However, Buckner is still in a walking boot which casts doubt on his availability for Thursday.
Also injured against the Cowboys, WR Jeremy Kerley (ankle) returned to practice today after sitting out yesterday's walkthrough. Kerley was acquired via a trade with the Detroit Lions on August 28 and leads the team in receiving with 18 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown. The next closest 49ers player isn't even a receiver. TE Garrett Celek is second on the team in receiving with 10 catches for 131 yards.
CB Jimmie Ward continues to miss practice after suffering a quad injury against during Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks. He is reportedly week-to-week.
Of course, the 49ers suffered a devastating loss on Sunday when ILB NaVorro Bowman, the clear leader on defense, went down with a non-contact injury against the Cowboys. An MRI on Monday confirmed what many feared – that the Pro Bowl and All-Pro inside linebacker suffered an Achilles tear and will miss the remainder of the season.
The 49ers have a short week as they prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night at Levi's Stadium.

Why a Deshaun Watson-to-49ers trade doesn't make sense; Allbright shoots down rumors
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk caused a little bit of buzz on Thursday morning, reporting that NFL whispers were pointing to Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson potentially requesting a trade, despite having recently signed a new four-year, $156 million extension. There's a growing buzz in league circles that Deshaun Watson could ask to be traded, and his new contract doesn't make that as difficult as you'd think
John Lynch says 49ers could draft 1st-round QB but doesn't anticipate that 'right now,' expresses belief in Garoppolo
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic this week and was once again asked about the team's quarterback situation. Now, this was all before the buzz surrounding Deshaun Watson's disappointment in the Houston Texans and the potential trade talk that ensued. Hence, the focus was on the possibility that the 49ers might look to the first round of the draft to bolster the quarterback position. Kawakami, as part of the interview on his podcast, The TK Show, asked Lynch if the 49ers might consider using their top pick on one of the highly-touted incoming rookie signal-callers. "We certainly could," Lynch responded while
John Lynch doesn't see a need to restructure Jimmy Garoppolo's contract right now
The San Francisco 49ers are moving forward with the assumption that this year's salary cap will be set at $175 million. It will probably be a bit higher, but general manager John Lynch would rather start with the floor. "Anything that we get (above $175 million), I think, is going to be a bonus and gravy, and will help us," John Lynch told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic on The TK Show podcast. "But if it's 175, we'll make it work, and I think we can keep a lot of these players together. You can't keep everyone, but I think we can prioritize. We'll have a very good plan, and I feel really good about our team, moving forward." Of course, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's

Crossed Signals – CTM @ xFilm Festival, Sofia
Location: Dom na Kinoto, Sofia, Bulgaria
Miko Mikona (DE) "Fourier Tanzformation I + II"
Remco Schuurbiers (CTM, NL) + Radboud Mens (Staalplaat, NL) "Pulse"
Frank Bretschneider (Komet, Raster-Noton, DE)
The programme conceived by club transmediale presents at X-Film Festival Sofia three different approaches towards contemporary audio-visual performance. While every performance puts a specific light on the relationship of sound and image, they all meet in a common sense for acoustic and visual minimalism, in their degree of abstractionism, and the artists' favour for a strong formalism.
xfilm Festival is an initiative based in Sofia, Bulgaria, that is dedicated to the promotion and distribution of experimental audiovisual and cinematographic production: experimental film & video, new media and live cinema. The festival aims to provide a breeding ground for critical, independent, alternative, experimental audiovisual and cinematographic works. It features an interesting selection of screenings, live performances, lectures and installation.
The festival is initiated in Bulgaria - a country with a relatively large audiovisual production in the past, and very small capacity in the present. Therefore the festival also aims to encourage networking between professionals from the country and the region with colleagues, and production and promotion bodies on a European level.
The festival runs April 22–26.2005.
See the festival's webpage for extended information:

CTM's participation at xFilm Festival is supported by Goethe Institute Sofia.

I have five years of college-level teaching experience in English, Composition, Spanish, and French. I have also taught English at a high school in France and tutored students in Writing and Spanish. Earlier this year, I completed my Ph.D. in Comparative literature at the University of California, Irvine. My research focused on Latin American literature, and as part of my master's I completed coursework in Spanish, French, and English. I earned a B.A. in History, Comparative Literature, and European Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While in college, I spent a year at the University of Seville in Spain. As a tutor and teacher, my first goal is to tap into my students' curiosity and show them how what they are studying gives them access to another world besides their own. I love to see students begin to use writing as a way to explore their thoughts and ideas. I also love to see the process of learning a new language at the early stages, which is often when a student begins to think critically about language for the first time. When I'm not working or reading, I try to travel as much as I can. I grew up partly in Costa Rica, studied in Spain, and worked in France. More recently, I have spent time in Mexico, Portugal, and Panama. Closer to home, I like hiking, spending time with friends, family, and pets, as well as learning to cook new things. I was once an avid soccer fan and am trying to get back into it now that I'm done with graduate school.

As interest in telemedicine solutions soars as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Google's Gradient Ventures has made its latest investment in patient engagement platform Klara.
On Thursday (20 August), New York-based healthcare start-up Klara announced that it has raised $15m in a round co-led by Frist Cressey Ventures and Google's AI-focused fund, Gradient Ventures.
The start-up also received further backing from existing investors including FirstMark Capital, Lerer Hippeau, Project A and Stage 2 Capital.
Co-founded by Simon Bolz and Simon Lorenz, the start-up has built a patient engagement tool for use in doctor's offices and other clinical practices. The technology has been built specifically to support both in-person and virtual patient journeys.
Klara's digital health solution
Klara's platform enables medical organisations to provide patients with a unique experience through intuitive communication, streamlined workflows and easy-to-access virtual visits.
The technology integrates the customer's electronic health records (EHR) and practice management (PM) system to automate routine workflows across the patient journey, including scheduling, pre-visit instructions, reminders, intake, no-show engagement, follow-up and more.
Darian Shirazi, general partner at Gradient Ventures, said: "As the world embraces remote interactions and work, physicians and medical practices are increasingly adopting new forms of digital communications with patients.
"The team at Klara has built an incredible product that delights doctors, patients and operators within practices worldwide. While the telemedicine market expands more rapidly than ever before, we're excited to partner with Klara as they develop automated and intelligent solutions for the next generation of healthcare."
Funding plans
With the latest investment, Klara plans to grow its team, further enhance its core product and build out AI-driven automation, including fully integrated patient intake, payments and more.
The firm said it plans to continue to grow its capabilities to enable multiple healthcare organisations such as practices, pharmacies and labs to jointly communicate with patients in one place, with the goal of making healthcare truly collaborative and less siloed.
According to Klara, the start-up has tripled its user base and usage since the Covid-19 pandemic began earlier this year.
Bolz, co-CEO and co-founder of the start-up, said: "We founded Klara to transform how patients and providers communicate, as that is the single most important element of the doctor-patient relationship. Focusing on communication first has given us a strong foundation to add other rich experiences such as electronic forms, scheduling and reminders.
"Now, our automation of many routine workflows is fundamentally changing how healthcare organisations operate. All in all, our product is delivering tremendous value and time savings to providers, staff and patients – and there's so much more we can do."
Lorenz added: "With expert guidance on artificial intelligence and large scale market access from our new investors, we're in a unique position to continue building the best product for our customers, and have a real impact on the healthcare system as a whole."

Clock hands are not just the same, though often you would not understand it, based on the sameness you discover there. Prosaic, dull clock hands are the default, as it were, not standing apart and not making any type of kind of statement. So if you want the visitor to take greater than a passing interest in your watch, you must choose with treatment the components that go into it.
In choosing clock hands you can not overlook feature, else you couldn't dependably inform the nearest hour, minute, and also second. Individuals are usually OKAY with clocks that aren't precisely compatible an atomic requirement, yet they expect them to be sensibly accurate. They should not shed or obtain greater than a few secs per month.
Nevertheless, you shouldn't neglect type either with anything viewed by the public so usually. Do not be gauche and also have your timepieces clash with the decoration or pressure the eyes of the viewer. On the other hand, resist any type of tendency to avoid making a stylistic declaration; go vibrant or go refined, however risk to depart from the ordinary.
Properly to approach this is first to visualize a unified whole and after that pick and set up the private elements. This is much more apt to lead to every component collaborating with all the others. However in doing this, take note of both type as well as to function.
The easiest means to fail is to mismatch the hands with the dial, either in regards to size or style (or both). Performance determines the size of both parts to ensure that things align without the minute hand covering the numerals or symbols on the area of the dial. Form determines that the respective elements enhance each other in regards to shade and also style.
Picking complementary dimensions and styles is in some cases extra difficult than it seems, merely due to the broad options supplied by clock components distributors. The alternatives swiftly multiply, making decisions challenging if not frustrating and also slow-moving to get to. On the other hand, one is not appropriate to really feel whatsoever constrained in regards to layout freedoms.
To simplify the process, establish an individual choice system, always keeping your original vision foremost in idea. The best place to begin is possibly with clock activities, as that determines the feature set of your wrist watch. Think about whether typical timekeeping fits the bill or extensions (e.g., 24-hour layout rather than 12-hour, or revealing days or dates) and/or novelties (chiming, pendulums) are worthwhile.
By choosing a clock movement you have essentially nailed the capability in place. For example, you recognize whether the clock is mosting likely to be larger or smaller sized than a particular size. Bigger ones, those with minute hands much longer compared to around 7 inches, require a movement with high-torque ability, and smaller ones do not.
You additionally recognize the amount of hands to get. The most basic wrist watch has just a minute and also hour hand, with an optional previously owned usually sustained. Yet the electric motor could regulate pins for 4 hands, with the 4th indicating date of the month, day of the week, or trend degree.
Knowing the dimension and also variety of hands limits the field of clock dials to think about. This action will primarily satisfy the feature facet of the task, causing all hands aiming at, and also properly distanced from, the particular characters or symbols on the clock dial. However, to meet the kind facet, concurrently examine your prospect dials and also your prospect hands.
This is where and exactly how you make certain that you end up with matching and/or complementary designs. Look not just at form, design, as well as color of the elements but also at exactly how solid a comparison is established in between face background and the hands.
Though you could be picking specific components, make every effort to accomplish a harmonization of them all and an awareness of your original vision. You desire the customer to observe a unified whole, with every little thing belonging, as opposed to a heavy collection. When picked with appropriate design and also dimension, your picked clock hands will bring endless hours of enjoyment.

Matthew McConaughey joins Wild Turkey
03 August, 2016 by
By Andy Young
Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey has signed on as the new creative director of Wild Turkey, in a "multi-year partnership".
Matthew McConaughey the new creative director for Wild Turkey
A Wild Turkey fan, McConaughey will be the brand's chief storyteller both in front of, and behind, the camera. He is currently directing a series of television and digital adverts, to help "reintroduce" the world to Wild Turkey.
"Wild Turkey has the history and qualities of a brand that depicts the dedication of someone to do something their own way – even if that way isn't always the most popular," said McConaughey. "I want to help share their unique story, starting with a new ad campaign that I feel really captures the special essence of this brand while introducing itself like never before."
He added: "When making a movie, you have two hours to tell a story. Here I have 30 seconds to reintroduce the world to this authentic American brand that has helped shape an entire U.S. industry, Bourbon. It will be a very interesting and fun challenge."
A short film detailing McConaughey's time at the Wild Turkey distillery and with the brand's father and son master distiller team, Jimmy and Eddie Russell, has been released, with further McConaughey commercials to follow.
Bob Kunze-Concewitz, CEO at Gruppo Campari, owner of Wild Turkey said: "It's a new era for Wild Turkey. We've made a significant investment into the brand over the last several years, as we've always strongly believed in the quality of the product and the special story behind the people who make it. With Matthew McConaughey now on board, we believe we are ready to share that story with the entire world."

Fantasy Live Picks for Atlanta
March 19, 2022 March 20, 2022 FantasyRacingTips Fantasy Live Picks
The Cup Series has completed the "West Coast Swing" and now they have a chance to get back into the shop and start applying what they learned in the last three races to the car for Atlanta. The race Sunday is going to be a lot different from what we have seen at AMS in the past. The track has been repaved, reconfigured and it is lightning fast. The cars will use the Superspeedway aero package this week and the draft will come into play. It should be another fun race to watch. The Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 can be seen Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on FOX.
FANTASY LIVE STRATEGY
The race this week is going to be tough to handicap. Atlanta has a new surface with new banking and the Cup Series has a new car with a new aero package. The races have been unpredictable this season and the Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 should be no different.
Practice speeds will not mean as much this week since the draft will come into play, but we cannot ignore the drivers who looked good in practice completely. The word from the garage is that the race is going to see a lot of pack racing like Daytona but it will race a lot like an intermediate track once the tires get heat in them and the cars start to slide around. It is going to be unpredictable, but some drivers like their cars more than others, so these are the drivers I will have in my lineup Sunday.
Here are my picks for the Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500…
FANTASY LIVE LINEUP
Chase Briscoe (9): Am I a week late with the No. 14 car? I hope not. Briscoe starts on the pole Sunday, but do you trust him to stay there? There is no doubt the No. 14 car has had speed this season. He has led 121 laps (second-most in the Cup Series). I do not think Briscoe can win the race but he should lead a lot of laps and score a lot of Stage Points.
Ryan Blaney (8): Blaney is my pick to win Sunday. He starts on the front row and the No. 12 car has been the fastest this season. Blaney leads the Cup Series high 190 laps lead this year. There is a good chance Blaney will lead a lot more Sunday since he starts on the front row. I have no problem burning another allocation with the No. 12 car this week.
Kyle Busch (10): Busch has been the best driver for Joe Gibbs Racing this year. David Wilson (Director of Toyota Racing Development) said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio this week, "We have a lot of ideas to make the new car faster but we have not been able to implement it because we were on the west coast and not in our shop. Now we can put what we learned in the car this week and it should help us run up front." If Toyota did find something, Busch should have a good chance score a lot of Stage Points and finish in the top-10 Sunday.
Denny Hamlin (9): I wasn't planning on using Hamlin because he has been trash this season, but Atlanta is looking a lot like a Superspeedway race. That brings Hamlin into the conversation. He is one of the best drivers at Daytona and that should translate into success Sunday. Hamlin was fastest on the 10-lap, 15-lap and 20-lap average speed charts. No driver had better long-run speed in practice. I will give Hamlin another chance Sunday.
Tyler Reddick (8): Reddick has been one of the best drivers this year. Reddick has led the third-most laps and finished third and seventh in his last two races. Now Reddick starts fifth. The No. eight car should have a good chance to lead more laps and finish in the top-10 Sunday.
Garage Driver:
Kevin Harvick (9): Harvick was an automatic play at Atlanta when the Cup Series competed on the track in the past. So how will he be on the repave? Harvick seems to be getting his mojo back. The No. 4 car finished seventh, 12th and sixth on the west coast. Now Harvick starts eighth. He wasn't blazing fast in practice but Harvick ran the sixth-most laps. They were working on their handling over speed. Harvick should spend a lot of time in the top-10 and score a lot of Stage Points and finish in the top-10 Sunday. I will have Harvick in the Garage as an insurance policy Sunday.
Joey Logano (7): I decided I am going to make a change from Kevin Harvick to Joey Logano. I think the No. 22 car has a better chance to run up front and score Stage Points. I would like to save my allocations with Logano, but if he runs as well as I think he will, the No. 22 car will be a good insurance policy to have in the Garage.
Bonus Picks
Fantasy Live has a new Bonus Picks section this year. Instead of selecting the winning team or manufacturer, we will earn 10 bonus points for selecting the driver who finishes the best in a Head-to-Head matchup. Here are my picks for the matchups…
Ryan Blaney vs. Kyle Larson (My Pick: Ryan Blaney)
Chase Elliott vs. Denny Hamlin (My pick is Chase Elliott)
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. vs. Bubba Wallace Jr. (My pick is Ricky Stenhouse Jr.)
Chase Briscoe vs. Tyler Reddick (My pick is Tyler Reddick)

Bodies of young people found in mass grave in Mexico's Guanajuato
At least 59 bodies have been found in mass graves in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, the government-backed National Search Commission (CNB) has announced.
"We found 59 bodies in various clandestine graves, there are other points on which we continue to work," said Karla Quintana, head of the CNB from the commune of Salvatierra, where authorities discovered the mass grave.
"The vast majority of bodies appear to be young people, sometimes very young, probably among them adolescents."
Information on the possible mass grave first emerged two weeks ago and the CNB started the search last week, in coordination with state and federal authorities.
More than 80 people were involved in the search and at least 52 excavations carried out, leading to the discovery of the bodies, according to the authorities.
Violence in the state of Guanajuato has increased in recent months, due to the turf war between the cartels of Santa Rosa de Lima and Jalisco Nueva Generacion, which are both involved in drug and fuel trafficking.
In July, heavily armed men attacked a rehabilitation centre for former drug addicts in the city of Irapuato, resulting in the death of 27 people.
In early August, authorities from the city of Santa Cruz announced the arrest of the leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima cartel, Jose Antonio Yepez, also known as "El Marro" while his successor, Adan Ochoa was arrested in mid-October in the region.
40,000 missing
Drug cartels in other parts of Mexico have deposited victims' bodies in several mass graves over the years.
In May this year, the remains of at least 25 people were found buried in a mass grave outside the western Mexican city of Guadalajara, in Jalisco state.
In 2019, at least three mass graves were also found in the country with an estimated 100 bodies.
A year before that, the remains of 166 people were dug up in Veracruz, while another 250 bodies were discovered in the same state in 2017.
More than 3,000 unmarked graves with nearly 5,000 bodies have been found in Mexico since the government deployed the military to fight the country's powerful drug cartels in 2006.
Since the government of former President Felipe Calderon launched its war on drug traffickers that year, an estimated 250,000 people have lost their lives in Mexico, according to official figures.
A further 40,000 people are still missing.
In response to the latest wave of violence, the current government of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who became president in 2018, has deployed thousands of military and national guard troops in some hotspot states.

A Silver Lining?
With all of the doom and gloom surrounding the recent news pertaining to the latest perceived devaluation of the SkyMiles frequent flier loyalty program from Delta Air Lines — specifically this part…
We know your miles are important, so we want to provide the most notice possible regarding Award price changes. For travel on or after June 1, 2016, the number of miles needed will change based on destination, demand and other considerations. But most Award prices will remain unchanged. To see the best availability and deals, search at least 21 days prior to departure and use our Award Calendar by selecting "flexible days" when searching for a flight.
Miles needed to upgrade will increase, and to provide greater access to these upgrades, we've expanded the eligible types of fares.
…I thought I would spread some good news, as my experience suggests that Delta Air Lines is correct with the statement "We rarely have deals on both fares and Award Tickets" — especially to offer award tickets as low as 5,000 SkyMiles each way, as the new minimum redemption is currently 7,500 SkyMiles each way:
When we announced the SkyMiles 2015 program we committed to making more award seats available at the lowest prices and compared to last year, we've increased Award availability by more than double at the lowest prices to make it easier to use your miles. You'll also find One-Way Awards starting at just 7,500 miles (plus taxes and fees) now through February 2016. To see the best availability and deals, search at least 21 days prior to departure and use our Award Calendar by selecting "flexible days" when searching for a flight.
Could a sale such as this one represent an initial "silver lining" of sorts in the SkyMiles frequent flier loyalty program which may open the possibilities for additional — and better — opportunities for its members? Perhaps not as much in the near future; but I am being cautiously optimistic: for if the dynamic pricing of the redemption of SkyMiles may benefit Delta Air Lines, there may also be circumstances where you can benefit as well — starting with sales such as this one.
For more information regarding additional fare rules, fees, and baggage charges which may apply, please see these terms and conditions.
Granted, many of the flights used as examples for the sale are for short distances to take advantage of spending a minimum of 10,000 SkyMiles round-trip — such as between Seattle and Portland or between Cincinnati and Memphis — but that is better than spending 25,000 SkyMiles, as that used to be the minimum amount redeemed for a round-trip award ticket in the past…
…especially as earning SkyMiles seems to be more difficult than ever with the change to earning SkyMiles based on revenue instead of distance if you are not regularly paying for travel seated in the premium class cabin; and it is with that point you have to ask yourself whether or not spending $74.00 or $99.00 for a short flight each way is a better value than spending 5,000 SkyMiles each way.
Then again, there was a time where you were also able to redeem SkyMiles up until the last minute for a flight without having to pay more in terms of miles or dollars. That was a valuable aspect of the SkyMiles program which differentiated it from its competitors, in my opinion.
On those aforementioned short-haul routes, I would more likely than not spend the money rather than the SkyMiles; or — better yet — perhaps save some money and drive the few hours between the origin and destination to avoid being subject to the policies and procedures of airport security checkpoints…

4 thoughts on "Award Sale: As Low as 5,000 Delta SkyMiles for Redemption"
I don't view limited cheap award tickets to places I probably don't want to go, for fares that would only be $75 as a silver lining. More like A Delta marketing ploy.
I would initially agree with you, Nick — but who am I to judge?
Someone would want to go to those places for various reasons: piqued interest; family and friends there; etcetera…
…and before anyone thinks otherwise, I am not in any way suggesting that any of those places are not worth visiting.
Markj says:
Despite all the uproar about Delta I am a Diamond Medallion since the program came out and I am flying more domestically on miles in economy this year than all the prior years together. I am finding 2-4 cents in value per mile and, amazingly, my upgrade rate is running nearly 100%.
Someone always somehow benefits from changes to frequent travel loyalty programs, Markj — no matter how badly they may be perceived by the majority of frequent fliers.
I am glad that your upgrade percentage is close to perfect; and I hope that the trend continues indefinitely.

New Verification Method To Determine "Accredited" Status in Securities Act Rule 506(c) Offerings
Rule 506(c) permits general solicitation so long as the issuer takes "reasonable steps to verify" that all purchasers are accredited investors. It also includes "non-exclusive and non-mandatory methods of verifying that a natural person who purchases securities in such an offering is an accredited investor." See Rule 506(c)(2)(ii). Although the Rule makes clear that the verification methods are non-exclusive, the SEC has been concerned that the Rule may be encouraging market participants to treat them as exclusive. The SEC is also aware that some market participants view the methods as onerous.
In response, the SEC added a new verification method (Rule 506(c)(2)(ii)(E)) to the non-exclusive list:
(E) In regard to any person that the issuer previously took reasonable steps to verify as an accredited investor in accordance with this paragraph (c)(2)(ii) [which sets out the requirement to use "reasonable steps to verify" accredited investor status and non-exclusive verification methods for natural persons], so long as the issuer is not aware of information to the contrary, obtaining a written representation from such person at the time of sale that he or she qualifies as an accredited investor. A written representation under this method of verification will satisfy the issuer's obligation to verify the person's accredited investor status for a period of five years from the date the person was previously verified as an accredited investor.
See SEC, Facilitating Capital Formation and Expanding Investment Opportunities by Improving Access to Capital in Private Markets, Rel. No. 33-10884 (Nov. 2, 2020).
Accordingly, an issuer that previously took reasonable steps to verify a natural person's accredited investor status may satisfy its verification obligation over the next five years by obtaining a written representation from that person at the time of sale that he or she qualifies as an accredited investor, so long as the issuer is not aware of information to the contrary.
The adopting release also reaffirmed the SEC's principles-based approach to verification, to wit, that issuers are not required to use any of the methods set forth in the non-exclusive list and can apply the reasonableness standard directly to the facts and circumstances presented by the offering and investors in question. According to the SEC, the principles-based method was intended to "provide issuers with significant flexibility in deciding the steps needed to verify a person's accredited investor status and to avoid requiring them to follow uniform verification methods that may be ill-suited or unnecessary to a particular offering or purchaser in light of the facts and circumstances."
The SEC indicated that it continues to believe the following factors are among those that should be considered: (a) the nature of the purchaser and the type of accredited investor the purchaser claims to be; (b) the amount and type of information the issuer has about the purchaser; and (c) the nature of the offering, such as the manner in which the purchaser was solicited to participate in the offering and the terms of the offering, such as the minimum investment amount.
The SEC also reiterated its view that an issuer's "reasonable steps" standard under Rule 506(c) may not be substantially different from the "reasonable belief" standard under Rule 506(b). For example, an issuer's receipt of a representation from an investor as to its accredited investor status could meet the "reasonable steps" requirement if the issuer reasonably takes into consideration a prior substantive relationship with the investor or other facts that make the accredited status apparent. However, requiring an investor to simply "check a box" on a questionnaire or subscription agreement, by itself, is not sufficient unless the issuer or its agent has additional information that reasonably supports the purchaser's accredited investor status.

This is what you need to know about the B-17 Flying Fortress
Published January 28, 2019 18:41:50
From World War II to today, Boeing products have been the backbone of America's strategic bomber force. That long tradition got started, though, with the B-17 Flying Fortress, which was best known for flying the daylight bombing missions against Nazi Germany in World War II.
The ultimate form of the B-17 was the B-17G version, which had 13 .50-caliber machine guns, including a twin Bendex turret under the nose, twin turrets on the top, belly, and tail of the bomber, as well as five single machine guns, including two in the wait, two in the cheeks of the plane, and one for the radio operator.

With all that firepower and ammo, there was still enough room to carry a large bombload (up to 9,600 pounds). The B-17 also had a lot of reach, with a maximum range of 3,750 miles. With four 1,200-horsepower Wright Cyclone R-1820-97 engines, it could hit 287 miles per hour when running flat-out.
The Flying Fortress saw action from the start of the war — B-17s flying in to Hickam Field on Dec, 7, 1941 came under attack from the Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor. After that day, B-17 production was ramped up until 12,726 of all types were produced until May, 1945.

Aviation historian Joe Baugher notes that the B-17 cost $238,329 in 1943 and 1944 – when they B-17G was being mass-produced. Today, that would be about $3 million per plane – meaning that for the $94.6 million price of one F-35A, the Air Force could buy 31 B-17s!
Today, only 12 of the thousands of B-17s that were built are still airworthy – with another 27 either in museums or being restored. Among those being restored is the only surviving B-17D, "The Swoose," as well as the famous "Memphis Belle."

Current-Felder Recognized as Longtime Advocate for Women of Color Scholars
When the United Methodist Black Clergywomen's Caucus met for the first time in 1987, there were almost no women of color to represent their voices in religious higher education.
Dr. Angella P. Current-Felder, then the executive director of the Office of Loans and Scholarships at the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM), remembers a common excuse for why seminaries and universities did not have any women of color teaching religious education.
"When asked about it, schools often told us some version of 'We don't know of any,' or 'We can't find any," said Current-Felder.
With support from GBHEM, the caucus moved to forever invalidate that excuse and create a robust academic pathway for women of color interested in religious scholarship. Through their efforts, the Women of Color Scholars Program was born and has supported 49 graduates to date.
Today, in recognition of her tireless efforts in support of the program, it will officially be renamed the Angella P. Current-Felder Women of Color Scholars program. The African American Methodist Heritage Center nominated Current-Felder for this honor in recognition of her history of promoting scholars of color and the GBHEM Board of Directors voted to formalize the name change in 2020.
To give to the Angella P. Current- Felder Women of Color Scholars endowment directly, visit: www.gbhem.org/donate4students.
In her 25 years with GBHEM's Office of Loans and Scholarships, Current-Felder worked not only to shepherd the program's funding, but also to recruit and encourage new scholars and support the ever-growing network of graduates.

For now, the restrictions for heavy vehicles in the regions of Kiustendil, Kardzhali and Smolian remain. This was announced by the chief inspector Krasimir Kostov, spokesman of the road police.
There are requirements for the use of tire chains because of the snow and steep slopes of the higher areas of these regions. There are also requirements for the use of tire chains for the heavy and light vehicles and a limitation for trucks with trailers attached.
The road infrastructure in the rest of the country does not have any restrictions, added Kostov. In Western Bulgaria, snowfalls have stopped entirely. Snow continues to fall only in the eastern part of Bulgaria.
According to latest data, the traffic on the Republican road network is normal right now.

Art patrons can submerge themselves into the never-before-seen world of the Sweet Somaling children. The gallery exhibit introduces whimsical creatures that are in part human, animal and plant at the Fine and Performing Arts Building.
Sarah Fox is an artist and teacher from San Antonio, whose work is part of a new exhibit titled "Sweet Somalings," displayed on the second floor. The works include installations, wax castings, mixed media, paintings, stop-motion animation and music.
Fox births her children into a world where beauty is redefined and the possibilities of biology are limitless.
"[I had] ideas of these little genetic mistakes and what they would look like," Fox said, describing her creations.
When entering the exhibition, art patrons will notice the unique forms of the Sweet Somaling children. Some may feel as if they are transported into another world where the air changes and their steps become lighter. In the background, a melody plays.
"Honey Finn Wax," works by Sarah Fox, an artist from San Antonio on display in the Sweet Somalings exhibition in the Fine Arts Building Thursday evening, Sept. 14, 2017.
Students Austin Jasso (left) and Bianca Alonzo look at a painting titled "The Vegan" by Sarah Fox, an artist from San Antonio on display in the Sweet Somalings exhibition in the Fine Arts Building Thursday evening, Sept. 14, 2017.
The composition is paired with Fox's stop-motion animation located toward the back of the room which takes a viewer through her experiences and healing.
Fox explains that her process begins with a collage, then from there she chooses what medium to use rather it be animated, wax sculpture or painting. Her unique style originates from her childhood experience.
As a child, she was sick and had to have several surgeries which she says challenged her to redefine her standards of beauty from conventional ones.
Fox says her inspiration is, "About being in a body that doesn't function the way a healthy body does" and her later attempts to have children resulting in miscarriages.
"The young characters, like the little piglets and the little wax boys, those are kind of me imagining what these children may have been able to look like if they were able to live in some other world where the rules of gravity and the rules of our own biology don't necessarily hold true," she said.
Students attended the opening event Sept. 14 at the gallery.
"When looking at the wax characters, I felt almost as if I was in her womb," TAMIU student Yvette Monic Medellin said.
The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 2.
