Build Up To The Walk Down
Working with a top Wyatt Earp author to try and make sense of the buildup to the Walk Down, which will be our cover story for September. Here are a few select quotes to help set the scene:
"The day the shooting commenced, I was standing there with Ike Clanton and Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury, and Johnny Behan. We were standing between the photograph gallery and the little house next to it."
—William Claiborne
"To all appearances, Tom McLaury was not armed at the time he was at the shop—there was nothing in sight to show he was armed. He had on a dark blue blouse of light material and dark pants and vest. The blouse came down about the length of his arms. It was outside of his pants."
—James Kehoe, a butcher at Bauer's meat market
So Much for Holsters
"[Wesley Fuller] relates of seeing Holliday put a six-shooter in his coat pocket at Fourth and Allen. Saw one in Morgan Earp's pocket, on the right side. Wyatt had one pushed down in his pants on the right side a little."
—Wesley Fuller, being paraphrased in cross examination, Spicer hearing
"I saw the Earps and Doc Holliday when they went down Fremont Street. I was right behind them. I went down behind them as far as the Post Office. I then crossed the street in front of what I believe is the courthouse."
—H.F. Sills
Daily Whip Outs: "Two New Views of The Walk Down"
This bit of testimony has changed our understanding as to exactly where the Tombstone Post Office was at the time of the shooting. As Casey Tefertiller puts it: "Gary McClellan and Gaumer found various items that locate the PO in the building next to the Nugget. The Nugget was one lot East of the Papago Cash Store, which was separated by the Alley from the Union Meat Market (Bauer's). So, from West to East it goes: Union Market, alley, Papago Cash Store (located at end of alley), Nugget building, Post Office. There were then three more businesses before reaching Fourth Street."
So, that would change the location of the Post Office to something like this:
Daily Whip Out: "New Location of The Tombstone Post Office"
1. This is Hafford's Corner where the Earps and Holliday began their famous stroll. 2. is Brown's Hotel. 3. is the location where we thought the post office was originally. 4. Is The Capital Saloon. 5. Is the Post Office. 6. is The Nugget Newspaper. 7. Is the Papago Cash Store. 8. Is the rear entrance to the O.K. Corral. 9. Is Schieffelin Hall. 10 is The Mining Exchange Building, also known as the courthouse. 11. is the Tombstone Epitaph office. Interesting that the Epitaph and their competition, the Nugget, are directly opposite each other. This is also metaphorically true, as the Nugget took the cowboy's side in all the conflicts to follow.
Daily Whip Out: "Wyatt In His Prime"
"Wyatt Earp had on a short coat; did not have an overcoat on; it [his pistol] seemed to me an old pistol, pretty large, 14 or 16 inches long, it seemed to me."
—A. Bauer, butcher

The Roper With The Open-toed Sandals
Charlie Russell and his wife Nancy, took an extended trip to Mexico in March and April of 1906. The pre-eminent Cowboy Artist traveled almost the entire country, or, as he put it in one of his letters to a friend, "I traversed from the northe to with in a 100 miles of the ismus and never saw wire, it's all open range." He meant barbed wire which by that time had conquered the U.S. rangelands, in spite of violent resistance in Texas and elsewhere.
Russell did one sketch of a vaquero that is kind of mind blowing. It shows a vaquero in full gear, including Spanish spurs, but on closer inspection, you can clearly see he has on sandals!
Daily Whip Out: "The Roper With The Open-toed Sandals"
Working on a couple line drawings inspired by Sergio Toppi, an Italian cartoonist and illustrator who has recently caught my eye. His design is superb and his draftsmanship is not too shabby either.
Daily Whip Out: "Bandido Blank Balloon"
What the hell is he saying? My son thinks he's saying "Hijole!" (pronounced EE-ho-lay!) which is Spanglish for "Son of a. . ."

The Old Building
When I first attended Mohave County Union High School in 1961 the county was growing so fast they built a string of modern structures, including a new gym, to the west of the "Old Building," and the just built structure was immediately dubbed the "New Building." Of course, once upon a time the "Old Building" was known far and wide as the "New Building" and the pride of Kingman and all of Mohave County. Kids were bused in from Wickiup, 55 miles to the south; Valentine and Peach Springs to the East; Dolan Springs to the north; and Bullhead City to the west. In some cases, the kids got on the bus in the dark to go to school and then, after school, rode the bus home and got off the bus in the dark. Mohave County Union High School was the only high school in the fifth largest county in the country and in the beginning everyone in all four grades fit inside this "New Building."
The "Old Building" When It Was New
The "Old Building" burned down in a suspicious fire about 25 years ago. For one thing it's all concrete, so it would be hard to burn unless you really, really wanted to see it go, and allegedly some local politicians wanted exactly that. Whatever the truth of these pernicious rumors, I used to walk down the hallway of the main floor (the row of windows above the lower horizontal dividing line) and stop at my mother's class picture (Bobbie Guess, class of 1939) and marvel at being in the same school building she graduated from way back in those ancient days of yore. Never mind that the distance back to my graduation spans 51 years while the distance from my gazing back to her day was only 21 years). I imagine she and her thirty-some classmates always referred to the school house as the "New Building."
Now all of the "kids" who attended classes with me in the "New Building" are old, but I would bet you almost everyone of them would refer to the photo, above, as the "Old Building."

Three Riders Four Clouds And One Moon
Went home for lunch and finished a Mickey Free on the hunt for the Apache Kid with Tom Horn and Jim Young piece.
Daily Whip Out: "Three Riders Four Clouds And One Moon"
Mickey always looked to the sky for sign as much as he looked at the ground. Back and forth he looked. Drove Tom Horn crazy. But in the end, it was a set of zig zag clouds that pointed the way to the Apache Kid's hiding place.
Zig Zag cloud reference I captured this morning on my morning walk.

Duel In The Sun (Or In A Quiet Place)
I was recently interviewed for a documentary on the popularity of the lone gunman, which, in light of recent events, made me wince. It's true I have made it my life work to illustrate the gunslingers of the Old West, but when I am asked a question that begins, "Why do you think the idea of a lone man with a gun is so popular?" the core concept seems a bit tainted in this day and age.
Hugh O'Brian as Wyatt Earp with his extra long appendage pointed in the right direction
Of course, the real Wyatt Earp knew a thing or two about gunfighting:
Daily Whip Out: "This Fight Has Commenced"
One guy basically invented the idea of the frontier gunslinger, and he was notorious for having two pistols:
Daily Whip Out: "Wild Bill Hickok Draws Iron"
And, street fights elicited random gunfire which almost always produced a victim, or two:
Daily Whip Out: "Shot Down"
As time went on, in the age of atom bombs, the idea of the gunfighter became somehow antiquated and "safe," to audiences of the 1950s:
Daily Whip Out: "Big Iron On His Hip"
So, in today's world the idea of a guy walking around looking for solutions with a hog leg, can be perceived as somewhat primitive.
"Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet."
—Kin Hubbard
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
Prickly Pear And Mickey Free Redux
File this one in the Can't Leave Well Enough Alone Department:
Daily Whip Out: "Mickey Rides Through Cactus Field Redux"
Hint: added additional, negative space, pricks to the prickly pears. Plus, redid Mickey to give a hint of his flag-draped poncho.
Couldn't resist "improving" another finished whip out:
Daily Whip Out: "Trigger Jim Young Redux"
Of course, both scenes are for the Mickey Free graphic novel, and that train has left the station (or, at least the excerpt "treatment" of a graphic novel).
The next issue of True West (August) will start dropping in subscriber's mailboxes this week. To long time readers it may look familiar:
Mickey Free Redux: Nov-Dec 2008 and August 2016 covers
This is the second cover we have dedicated to a Mickey Free graphic novel by the Top Secret Writer and myself. And, actually it's our third pass at the story (I did a two-page graphic cinema version as well), so we are hoping this is a third time is the charm deal. We'll soon see. Now, the question is, should I keep hammering on it, or should I let it go? I wonder what the Old Vaqueros have to say about that?
"Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it."

First Monsoon of the season
The first monsoon blew in tonight over Ratcliff Rdige at about 7:30. Sprinkling out at 8:23 p.m. Air is cooler. Going to be muggy tomorrow, but a nice relief tonight.
Monsoon storm over Ratcliff Ridge
And here's a closer look at the same storm system:

We've got a house full of kids so I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on painting, but I did noodle four skies in between Racliff Ridge trips, eating homemade Thai food and swimming sessions.

We broke out some of the old photo albums today and noticed a couple parallels to the past. Here's a photo of Kathy with Thomas Charles, at left, circa 1986 and at right is Thomas Charles with his daughter Harper taken yesterday:

The Bortschellers are en route to their cold home (Deena texted me the highs all week in Seattle and it was nothing but 70s all the way to Sunday). Before they left we took a selfie of the entire brood:

Solving Life With My Kids And Their Kids
Fathers can only relax when their kids are home. I got this from Sandra Day O'Connor's father who said he couldn't totally relax unless his kids were in his house. Here are both my kids with their kids at our kitchen table.
Thomas, Harper, Deena and Weston in our kitchen this afternoon,
solving life and laughing. Doesn't get any better than this.
High On Ratcliff Ridge
"Look how big they are grandpa." Weston said, high on Ratcliff Ridge. He turned three today.

"How'd they get so big, grandpa?"
"They drank a lot of water.."
"Why'd they drink so much water, grandpa?"
"They're very thirsty."
"Why are they so thirsty, grandpa?"
"It's the desert."
"Why is it the desert, grandpa?"
"Oh, look a bunny!"

Weston Watering, Tall Walking Clouds & Whining Weather Wimps
Got a full house this morning, with all the kids here, along with their spouses and their kids. One of them has a birthday tomorrow. He'll be three. Today, he and I hit the road early, before sunrise to get out and see Cactusland and all the "funny bunnies" on the road. I counted four, but when I asked Weston to tell everyone how many he saw, he counted to 20, so I feel pretty confident he has a future in media.
When we got back from our walk he helped me water.
Weston Watering A Very Thirsty Spanish Dagger
Leave it to the Navajos to come up with the perfect name for those magnificent summer storms that roll through northern Arizona in the summer time.

To All You Whining Weather Wimps
My good friend E.J. Montini has written some excellent columns over the past three decades, but today's column in the Arizona Republic is required reading for anyone who wants to call themselves a Zonie. In part he say, in regard to everyone whining about our furnace like heat: "Heat is good."
"It doesn't feel like it. but it is.
"Heat keeps us honest.
"Heat reminds us that paradise comes with a price. . ." and then he offers this advice:
"Okay, get a pencil.
"Are you ready? Here goes:
"Shut up."
E.J. goes on to say he often gets calls from out-of-state journalists researching our heat waves and who always want to know how we can "bear to live in such a place" as Arizona. Here's how he answers them:
"I say, first, that we can 'bear to live in such a place' because Arizona is beautiful.
"I say, our city, our state is unrelentingly interesting, filled with curious, furious, passionate people of all ages and ethnicities and political persuasions.
"I say that people who live in Arizona don't back down after that first really hot day in June. When Arizona's big, nasty summer is waiting for us jut ourside our front door, thrusting his chest at us and breathing his terrible hot breath in our faces.
"I say the reason we can 'bear to live' in the desert is because we love it here. And because we are not wimps."
Pretty cool, eh? Like I said, required reading if you want to live here and call yourself a Zonie.
"In America there are two classes of travel—first and with children."
Save A Prayer for Lefty Too, He Only Did What He Had to Do
Did a scratchboard this morning before I came into work for my good friends down at Santo Press. This is inspired by the Willie Nelson-Merle Haggard song.
Daily Whip Out: "Save A Prayer for Lefty Too."
Working on a big feature on the most famous stroll in the history of the West. That would be the walk these guys took:
Daily Whip Out: "The Walk Down"
We're going to track everyone's movements on the morning of October 26, 2016. You know, stuff like this: "I slept late the day of the shooting. Got up about one or half-past one o'clock. I went to the barber shop to get shaved." Or, so said Sheriff John Behan.
"I was coming from my house to Bauer's meat market to get some meat for dinner. I saw quite a number of men standing in a group together on the sidewalk by the door of the market, and I passed on into the shop to get what I went for, and the parties in the shop were excited and did not seem to want to wait upon me."
—Martha J. King
"I was standing at the Post Office with Mr. Dillen of the firm of Dillen and Kenealy. . .I walked down as far as Fly's [rooming house], and there I saw Sheriff Behan and four farmers. As I approached, one of them, Mr. William Clanton, put his hand on his pistol, as if in fear of somebody. When he recognized me he removed his hand."
—William Cuddy
Of course, we all know where this story ends:

"And long may his story be told."

Raiders On The Mesa And Horses Hate Horseradish
Went home for lunch and finished two paintings. Not sure if it's the excessive heat, or what, but I'm, ahem, on fire. First up, I finished a cover assignment for Chuck Parsons:
Daily Whip Out: "Jack Helm Rides On" (final)
I also whipped out another summer cloud painting I've had lying around in my discard pile for a couple months:
Daily Whip Out: "Raiders On The Mesa"
Yesterday I also finished a couple of paintings for an upcoming True West Moment:
Daily Whip Out: "Horseradish"
Have you ever sat around wondering why it's called horseradish? Well, I have. Turns out horseradish is deadly to horses. Is that weird?
Daily Whip Out: "Horses Hate Horseradish And The Feeling Is Evidently Mutual"
Look for these two paintings to be paired together in an upcoming True West Moment. Although all these heat paintings are somewhat successful I always remember what the old vaqueros say:
"The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success."
Cooler out this morning. Only 90 degrees at 6:45. I know this is ridiculous, but given the record heat of the last two days, it actually feels cool.
Someone sent me a photo of a dramatic sunset near Kingman (was it you Ray Short?) and I found it this morning and it inspired this study.
Daily Whip Out: "Memories of Home"
I also worked on a rough for a friend of mine who is doing a book on a bad boy named Jack Helm:
Daily Whip Out: "Jack Helm Rides On"
Well, full disclosure, he didn't ride far. He was shot down by one of my "kin"—John Wesley Hardin.
More Blowback On Thoreau vs. Threw
Come on Bob, do you really expect English speaking and spelling people to interpret San Jacinto to replace a "J" with and "H" when reading a name? Or replace an "I" with and "E" or an "OIS" with "WAH"? If you want English people to pronounce it the Spanish way when reading a name, spell it the English way and we will pronounce it as the Spanish do. Maybe we should pronounce Illinois as "Illinwah" or Jackson as "Hackson". Use some common sense, we are taught to speak words as they are spelled in English. You can not expect everyone to know just how a word is pronounced in other languages. Sometimes we know, but most of the time it is merely a guess. Do you really expect everyone to know how to pronounce every word in every language?
Other than that, I enjoy your articles.
—Bob Beian
I hear you but I'm not sure it has anything to do with common sense. We all pronounce cafe as Ka-fay, even though it looks like Kafe to an English speaker. We all say Canyon de Shay even though it looks like Chelly and we even say Ah-ho, even though Ajo looks like A-Joe. And we all say Muggy-own Rim even though it looks like Mongollian (Mogollon). It is just very weird how some names get bent and others do not. That's my point.
And, by the way, how do you pronounce Beian? Is it Bee-Ian? Or Bean?
I got this back from Mr. Beian: "It is the town in Norway where my father came from and it's pronounced Bay on" So let's see if I got this straight: a fellow Norsky who has a weird spelling of a foreign name is taking me to task for not cutting him slack on mispronunciation of Spanish, French and proper names like Thoreau? Kind of proves my point, no?
"Every generation laughs at the old fashions but religiously follows the new."
Plunging Back Into Zig Zag Canyon
One might think I have had my fill of Zig Zag Canyon. The issue featuring it is at the printer and I should move on. Certainly the Distinguished Professor has had his fill of it, but not me.
Daily Whip Out: "As The Storm Rolled In We Plunged Into Zig Zag Canyon"
I guess I have been inspired by a couple new books I got on Sergio Toppi, the Italian graphic genius who created wonderful layouts with deft drawings galore.
Daily Whip Out: "The Owl Perched On Coyote Rock
at The Entrance to Zig Zag Canyon"
Okay, so I shifted gears to work on a Mexican monte game.
Daily Whip Out: "Mexican Monte: I Call"
Daily Whip Out: "The Mexican Monte Player"
"Forgetfulness is a form of freedom."
Welcome to Hell, Population Two, Little Ol' Me And A Melting You
First day of summer. Not sure I am ready for the heat. That was a joke. Yesterday it was a record 118 degrees. Four people died over the weekend from hiking! Hard to believe anyone would even attempt it. Just walking from the house to the studio was like walking through a blast furnace. Can't imagine what it was like being here in the old days. Well, actually I can. There was no AC in cars back in my day and evap coolers were few and far between. One of my fondest memories of growing up in Kingman was sitting in front of the window with the air evaporative cooler at my grandmother's house on Jefferson Street. It was only cool right there at the point of entry and the rest of the house was stifling, but, oh was that one spot heavenly. Also, the banging rhythms of that old box takes me back.
Searing Bridles On The Yuma Stage
I was reading about a stagecoach journey from Prescott to Yuma in the 1870s and as the team descended down out of the Bradshaw mountains into the Salome—Quartzite area, the coach pulled into a stage station and the stage hands, who changed out the teams, could not touch the metal bridles without burning their hands. They had heated up that much. Imagine how that tortured those horses.
It was 93 degrees in Flagstaff and 102 degrees in Prescott. The Yuma-Blythe corridor hit 120s.
Of course, some of my earliest memories are of heatwaves moving across the rippling highway with rivers of undulating air crossing the road in the distance:
Daily Whip Out: "Heatwave Hitcher"
The rippling horizon still eludes me as an effect. For one thing, it doesn't bend the near stuff, only the horizon.
I remember going by a desert house near Happy Valley Road in north Phoenix. My roommate, Charlie Christie had an aunt and uncle who were living in a homemade rock house up in the lava beds on the west side of I-17. This was in 1966 and we were on our way back from Kingman to the U of A in Tucson and he wanted to stop and say hello. It was June and very hot out. I remember the old couple (probably in their early sixties) were readers and their house was full of makeshift bookcases and the books were almost steaming it was so hot. When we pulled up they were sitting in the narrow shade on the northside of the house, panting. They looked miserable. I wondered how long they would survive out in this heat.
It was 85 degrees this morning at 5:30 and by 9:30 when I went into work it was already 108. The only positive is, it keeps the riff raff out, at least in the summer. Nice easy drive to work. No cars. Ha.
"Welcome to Hell, population two, little old me and melting you. . .local attraction the heartbreak sea. . .a dry wishing well, welcome to hell."
—Mudcrutch, Tom Petty's new/old band on my new favorite song, "Welcome to Hell"
On The Road With Father Bell
Thinking about my father today. Thankful for all he gave me. He loved road trips and he passed that on to me, and both my kids, in turn, love the road as well, so that is a blessing, to me. He was truly a man of the road, and as I say in my book, he was The 66 Kid.
Al Bell's Mobiloil Station, Peach Springs, Arizona, 1946
And, we have a new father visiting with us, that would be this guy:
Tommy Bell and his parents in Thailand, 2014
He and his lovely bride Amy flew in from Thailand this week and we went over to Grandma Betty's yesterday so she could meet her great granddaughter:
Great Grandmother Betty Radina and Harper
Harper's mother is an amazing cook and I got a total treat this morning:
Father's Day Huevos Rancheros via Amy Pothong
Great treats and great kids. One of the benefits of being a dad.
"Becoming a father is easy enough, but being one can be tough."
Ben Johnson Knew How to Set A Horse
Went home for lunch to pay homage to a rodeo champion who made horseback riding look so natural.
Daily Whip Out: "Ben Johnson Knew How to Set A Horse"
Some of the old Cowboy stars were accomplished horseback riders, but very few could "set a horse" as if they were one with the animal. Cowboy actor Ben Johnson was one of the best ever. He was discovered when he doubled Henry Fonda in Fort Apache and he went on to star in many Westerns, winning the Academy Award for best actor in Last Picture Show (1971). He died of a heart attack at age 77, while visiting his mother, Ollie, at Leisure World in Mesa, Arizona.

Two Swedish journalists, Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye, were found guilty on Wednesday 21 December, 2011, of supporting terrorism in Ethiopia and entering the country illegally.
The pair entered Ethiopia embedded with forces of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) on 1 July this year and were detained by the Ethiopian military shortly afterwards. Schibbye and Persson had traveled as freelance journalists aiming to report from the Ogaden province, the scene of a brutal conflict between Ethiopian armed forces and the ONLF.
I had hoped, and I think everyone had hoped, that the Ethiopian authorities had already made an example of Persson and Schibbye by starting the trial process and jailing them for six months. Obviously that wasn't enough of an example.

Early on Wednesday morning, Judge Shemsu Sirgaga denied the defense's main argument, which held that Schibbye and Persson travelled professionally and had a journalistic duty to report on the conflict from the side of the rebel forces as well as that of Ethiopia's military, and sided with the prosecution.
Sirgaga commented that the Swedes had "used their profession as a cover for terrorist activities" and called for an 18-year prison sentence to be handed down on 27 December, despite Schibbye and Persson's background in reporting from dangerous parts of the world and the testimony by two of Schibbye's and Persson's colleagues, freelance journalists Adrian Blomfield and Phillip Ittner, who had been flown into the capital Addis Ababa to take part in the court proceedings.
The video below shows Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson, filmed by Ethiopian authorities after being detained, uploaded to YouTube by user rug571 on December 16.
During the trial, Schibbye and Persson admitted to entering Ethiopia illegally embedded with the rebels, but denied any charges of supporting terrorism. In November, the pair were acquitted of the third charge against them, of being "members of a terrorist group".
When the judge read out the grounds it sounded positive, he had virtually nothing against them. Everything he said was speaking for an acquittal, and then he found them guilty anyway. This indicates they are political prisoners and nothing else.
The case against Schibbye and Persson has brought further attention to Ethiopia's vague anti-terrorist legislation, under which over 100 opposition leaders and journalists have been jailed up to 20 years. Three Ethiopian journalists are currently on trial for terrorism charges.
Amnesty International does not believe there is any evidence of the men supporting the ONLF or its operations, nor that they are guilty of any criminal act. We regard Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye as prisoners of conscience, as they have been prosecuted due to their legitimate work as journalists.
Until the day of the verdict's announcement, the Swedish government had been fairly silent on the case. Carl Bildt, the foreign minister, had referred to methods of quiet diplomacy when asked about how the Swedish Foreign Ministry were working for the release of the journalists.
The situation has been further complicated by Bildt's personal history. Until 2006, when Bildt was appointed foreign minister, he served as a board member of Lundin Petroleum, the Swedish oil company whose activities Schibbye and Persson were intending to investigate in the Ogaden province.

@carlbildt: Sweden expresses grave concern over hard sentence against Swedish journalists in Ethiopia. We will continue to work to set them free.
Our position is and continues to be that they were in the country on a journalistic assignment. They must be released as soon as possible in order to be reunited with their families in Sweden.
We are now making sure that the prime minister's strong message gets through to the Ethiopian government. We will then reason with the parties involved over the formal steps to be taken in this process.
Seleshi Ketsela, one of Schibbye and Persson's lawyers, said that his clients would now consider whether to appeal. An alternative route may be to seek a pardon from the Ethiopian state.
Shame on the Ethiopian authorities. These guys just wanted the news.

Departure of Randall Cobb and Clay Matthews leaves Packers with voids to fill
JASON WILDE For the State Journal
Veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday.
GREEN BAY — While Randall Cobb and Clay Matthews' now ex-Green Bay Packers teammates were posting heartfelt tributes on social media in the wake of their free agent departures, it's general manager Brian Gutekunst's job to look forward and deal with the reality of the voids left by the two longtime starters not being re-signed.
And while Gutekunst's free agent signings at outside linebacker last week and draft selections at wide receiver last year give the Packers options at both Matthews' and Cobb's positions, there is still work to be done at each of them as the free agency market remains open and the NFL draft approaches.
Gutekunst also bid Matthews and Cobb farewell in statements posted to Packers.com on Wednesday morning in which he thanked Matthews, who left for his hometown Los Angeles Rams, for his 10 years with the team and Cobb, who joined the Dallas Cowboys, for his eight seasons in Green Bay.
"We want to thank Clay for all that he has contributed to the Packers over the past 10 seasons. As the franchise's all-time sack leader and an integral part of Green Bay's Super Bowl XLV championship, he will be remembered as one of the greatest players in the history of the organization," Gutekunst told the team site. "Clay will always be a member of the Packers family. We wish him, his wife, Casey, and the rest of their family all the best moving forward."
Of Cobb, Gutekunst said, "For the past eight seasons, Randall was a terrific leader and great player for the Packers. He was part of some very memorable moments and contributed to a lot of great wins. We thank Randall, his wife, Aiyda, and the rest of their family for all they have given to the organization and our community. Randall will always be a member of the Packers family."
Statements of appreciation aside, it was clear after Matthews and Cobb had relatively unproductive seasons in 2018, the team was looking to go in different directions at both positions.
At outside linebacker, Gutekunst not only didn't re-sign Matthews but also severed ties with fellow edge rusher Nick Perry, who was cut after playing just two seasons of the five-year, $59 million deal he signed in March 2017. Matthews had just 3.5 sacks last season — his fourth straight year without a double-digit sack total — while Perry managed just 1.5 sacks.
The Packers clearly believe they've taken a big step toward getting younger and more productive at that position with the pricey free agent signings of Za'Darius Smith (four years, $66 million, $20 million signing bonus) and Preston Smith (four years, $52 million, $16 million signing bonus).
But in reality, neither player is a proven commodity, with Za'Darius Smith coming off a career-high 8.5 sacks last season while Preston Smith had just four sacks in 2018 after an eight-sack season in 2017.
The Packers also have Kyler Fackrell returning for a fourth season at outside linebacker following an unexpected 10.5-sack season, but he still must prove those numbers weren't a fluke. He's also entering the final year of his rookie deal and will be a free agent in 2020.
For that reason, it's realistic to expect Gutekunst to add one and perhaps more than one edge rusher in a draft that is deep at the position.
"The defensive front is a really strong position in this year's draft, which is a good thing," said Gutekunst, who has two first-round picks (Nos. 12 and 30) and six picks in the first four rounds of the April 25-27 draft. "I think it's exciting for us. Those guys don't come around that much and we're excited to see how it goes and how it falls. We've got a lot of work to do between now and then, but I think there will be opportunity to help our football team."
What the Packers will do to replace Cobb as the slot receiver is less clear. While they have three young receivers who were mid-round picks and got varying degrees of playing time as rookies last season (Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown and J'Mon Moore) and former UW-Whitewater standout Jake Kumerow in the mix, none of the four would be considered a prototypical slot receiver.
No. 1 receiver Davante Adams lined up in the slot at times — in an effort to prevent teams from easily keying on him, the Packers lined Adams up all over the field during his 111-catch season — and lanky Geronimo Allison also has lined up there on occasion. But if new head Matt LaFleur wants a smaller, quicker receiver like the 5-foot-10, 192-pound Cobb, the Packers will likely have to find one in the draft.
Speaking in December, quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasized the value of a true slot receiver but acknowledged that Cobb missing six games with hamstring issues and one with a concussion hurt the offense.
"When Randall's healthy, I think our offense has been different because we have a true slot guy who can make plays in the slot consistently. But he's missed a lot of games this year and he got banged up of late," Rodgers said. "Having a slot guy like that who legitimately can get open time after time, when we need him (makes a difference)."
Cobb was one of five wideouts on the open market who were slot receivers. Now that he, Cole Beasley (who left the Cowboys for the Buffalo Bills), Golden Tate (New York Giants), Adam Humphries (Tennessee Titans), Jamison Crowder (New York Jets) have found new homes, perhaps the Packers will try a bigger player in the slot this season. With the way the game is trending, that's not uncommon.
Asked at the NFL scouting combine how he felt about the young receivers' rookie seasons, Gutekunst replied, "I was really happy. I think they each had their moments at different times of the year. That transition to the NFL game can be a big one. A lot of receivers don't usually see production until second or third year.
"I thought those guys had a lot of challenge and they met 'em. They met them head on and gave us help, especially down the stretch. Both EQ and Valdes-Scantling had big moments. J'Mon was a little bit behind but at the same time he worked every day, showed up, we saw definite improvement throughout the year. I think the future for those three guys are pretty bright."

Finally 'living out our dream' together, Za'Darius and Preston Smith eager to 'make some things happen' for Packers defense
With the team having cut ties with Nick Perry, and Clay Matthews expected to depart in unrestricted free agency, the Packers are counting on the Smiths to create pressure on opposing quarterbacks and deliver more sacks than their two former first-round picks managed together last year.
GM Brian Gutekunst says Packers' free agent splurge was 'something we needed to do'
"We're in a 'win now' mode all the time," Gutekunst said Thursday. "I thought we needed to add to our defense significantly. And I think these guys will."

The Canadian Meat Council is welcoming the historic coming into force of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations.
The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, administered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, came into force Tuesday.
Chris Nash, the Director of Regulatory Affairs with the Canadian Meat Council, says the new regulations bring consistency to the inspection of all foods in Canada.
Mr Nash says: "Pretty much all food companies now fall under this regulation.
"The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations is basically the combination of all the previous inspection regulations - meat inspection regulations, fish inspection and some other things are pulled into this one regulation now governing food safety in Canada. To some extent, importers and exporters of food are also included.
"The Canadian Meat Council has welcomed this regulation for a few different reasons: It helps with ensuring consistency and standardisation across different food commodity groups whereas before, meat companies were inspected under the meat inspection regulations and some other foods weren't fully inspected.
"We've supported this because it's also outcome based, meaning that a company has a little bit more flexibility on how to meet the regulation.
"This flexibility will allow for more innovation and can build efficiencies within the industry as well.
"The meat industry has always had a good relationship with CFIA. CMC especially has had a great relationship with CFIA and over the past six months we've worked well with them since the regulations were published and come into force."
Mr Nash says there was always over sight in one way or another but this brings it all together.
He says the CFIA is now looking at foods in the same way so consumers can be assured there's a high level of food safety protection for all foods across Canada.

How a Cactus Survives in the Desert
how to do anything...
How a Cactus Survives in the Desert,
A cactus is one of the most unique plants. The cactus differs from other plants in such a way that it can survive in the warmest of regions without needing too much water. Cacti are most well known as the prickly desert plants that we see in western movies. They are always part of the desert scene, together with the sun and the cowboy. It is amazing how the cactus can survive in the desert with very little amount of water.
Here are some facts on how a cactus survives in the desert:
Cactus Root System. The cactus root system contributes on how the cactus can survive in the desert with minimal water. The roots of a cactus are spread out underground for up to several feet away from where the cactus is planted. The roots are where the water comes from. During rainfall, the cactus gets all the water it needs because of the widespread root system, which covers a large land area. Also, the roots of the cactus can sprout smaller roots when rain comes. After the rain, these smaller roots die or are cut of from the main root system to avoid more roots needing the water that was collected.
Cactus Stem. The cactus stem is another part of the cactus that helps in getting nutrients for the plant and storing all the water that it can. The water is stored inside the stem of the cactus and is protected by the thick outer casing of the cactus. In other plants, the leaves do this. Since the cactus has no leaves, the stem acts as the one that gets the needed nutrients for the cactus. The cactus also relies on how it grows to get water when it rains. Unlike other plants, the cactus grows vertically from the ground. When rain falls, the water drips to the stem of the cactus and straight down to its roots. This is how cacti get the water. The stem of the cactus also contains an element that prevents the water inside the cactus from evaporating.
Prickly Needles. The prickly needles of the cactus are there for a very good purpose. The needles are also very helpful in getting more water for the cactus. These needles act as the cactus security. It prevents desert animals from getting near the cactus and getting the water that is stored in the stem. Some cactus needles are also there to shade some parts of the plant from the heat of the sun. This results in the cooler temperature of the cactus and therefore less water is needed.
These are the main parts of a cactus that aid in keeping it alive in the desert heat without having a regular supply of water. Cacti are like the counterpart of a camel in plants. Both of them are able to store enough water for survival and both can dwell in the heat of the sun. Cacti only rely on rainfall to get water. Rainfall seldom happens in the desert that is why cacti have to store all the water they can get during rainfall.

Q: Error while compiling a project which includes CPLEX tool I am working on the project which has to include the CPLEX tool at some point.
More in detail, I have the following classes implemented
(i.e. the corresponding files): Random.cpp, Instance.cpp, Timer.cpp. Solution.cpp which are included into Hybrid_ea.cpp which also have to include cplex library.
Finally, the project has been executed by running Algorithm.cpp (the main() function defined here).
I want to run the project on Linux platform, creating Makefile which looks like:
TARGET = Algorithm

CXXFLAGS = -ansi -O3
GENOBJS = Random.o
#CPLOBJS = Timer.o Random.o Instance.o Hybrid_ea.o
GREOBJS = Timer.o Random.o Instance.o Solution.o Hybrid_ea.o

SYSTEM     = x86-64_linux
LIBFORMAT  = static_pic
CPLEXDIR      =  /home/root/Desktop/projects/software/cplex-12.5/cplex
CONCERTDIR    =  /home/root/Desktop/projects/software/cplex-12.5/concert
CCC = g++
CCOPT = -m64 -O -fPIC -fexceptions -DNDEBUG -DIL_STD -std=c++11 -fpermissive -w
CPLEXBINDIR   = $(CPLEXDIR)/bin/$(BINDIST)
CPLEXLIBDIR   = $(CPLEXDIR)/lib/$(SYSTEM)/$(LIBFORMAT)
CONCERTLIBDIR = $(CONCERTDIR)/lib/$(SYSTEM)/$(LIBFORMAT)
CCLNFLAGS = -L$(CPLEXLIBDIR) -lilocplex -lcplex -L$(CONCERTLIBDIR) -lconcert -lm -pthread
CLNFLAGS  = -L$(CPLEXLIBDIR) -lcplex -lm -pthread
CONCERTINCDIR = $(CONCERTDIR)/include
CPLEXINCDIR   = $(CPLEXDIR)/include
CCFLAGS = $(CCOPT) -I$(CPLEXINCDIR) -I$(CONCERTINCDIR)

all: ${TARGET}

Algorithm: Algorithm.o $(GREOBJS)
   $(CCC) $(CCFLAGS)  Algorithm.o $(GREOBJS) -o Algorithm $(CCLNFLAGS)

Algorithm.o: Algorithm.cpp
   $(CCC) -c $(CCFLAGS) Algorithm.cpp -o Algorithm.o

clean:
   @rm -f *~ *.o ${TARGET} core

The linking process is somehow wrong. I checked, my CPLEX version is the right one since the others, simpler projects can be executed;
The full output given when trying to compile the project:

g++ -c -m64 -O -fPIC -fexceptions -DNDEBUG -DIL_STD -std=c++11 -fpermissive -w -I/home/root/Desktop/projects/LCAPS_software/cplex-12.5/cplex/include -I/home/root/Desktop/projects/LCAPS_software/cplex-12.5/concert/include Algorithm.cpp -o Algorithm.o
g++ -ansi -O3   -c -o Timer.o Timer.cc
g++ -ansi -O3   -c -o Random.o Random.cc
g++ -ansi -O3   -c -o Instance.o Instance.cpp
g++ -ansi -O3   -c -o Solution.o Solution.cpp
g++ -ansi -O3   -c -o hybrid_ea.o hybrid_ea.cpp
In file included from hybrid_ea.cpp:22:0:
hybrid_ea.h:39:10: fatal error: ilcplex/ilocplex.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ilcplex/ilocplex.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'hybrid_ea.o' failed
make: *** [hybrid_ea.o] Error 1

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Only the file Algorithm.cpp is compiled with appropriate options for finding the CPLEX include files:
-I/home/root/Desktop/projects/LCAPS_software/cplex-12.5/cplex/include
-I/home/root/Desktop/projects/LCAPS_software/cplex-12.5/concert/include

As hybrid_ea.h also tries to include some CPLEX header files, the compilation of hybrid_ea.cpp should also have the options above.
If the makefile that you posted in your question is complete, then I suspect that the issue is the following: you didn't define a specific command to compile any .cc  or .cpp  file, except for Algorithm.cpp.  Therefore, all other files are compiled using a default command g++ -ansi -O3 -c -o [file].o [file].cpp.  And this default command doesn't have the include directives for the location of the CPLEX libraries.
As explained in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/make-3.79.1/html_chapter/make_10.html, these files are compiled using make's implicit rules.  The implicit rule for C++ files is to use $(CXX) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS).  Notice how this rule uses CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS rather than the variable CCFLAGS  that you defined at the end of your makefile to include the proper include directives.
So changing the end of your makefile to the following should work:
CPPFLAGS = $(CCOPT) -I$(CPLEXINCDIR) -I$(CONCERTINCDIR)

all: ${TARGET}

Algorithm: Algorithm.o $(GREOBJS)
   $(CCC) $(CCFLAGS)  Algorithm.o $(GREOBJS) -o Algorithm $(CCLNFLAGS)

clean:
   @rm -f *~ *.o ${TARGET} core

Once you define the variable CPPFLAGS, it will be used automatically to compile any .cpp file that you have in your project.

Home Entertainment U.S. director Spike Lee is set to preside over the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in July
U.S. director Spike Lee is set to preside over the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in July
Timothea Maldonado Mar 16, 2021 0 Comments
U.S. director Spike Lee will preside over the jury at the 74th Cannes Film Festival in July, the first black personality to hold the post.
Spike Lee was scheduled to serve as jury chairman last year, but the epidemic prevented the festival from taking place. "Loyal to his duties", so he will accept this function for the 74th edition, which will take place from July 6 to 17, and its products are in full swing, many films are viewed by the selection committee, the organizers said in a statement on Tuesday.
They said the official selection and jury system would be released in early June.
The position of this primary filmmaker of black cause, the operator and author of major films, is a strong symbol of being sent back after being announced last year by the world's most prestigious film festival.
"For 30 years, the inexhaustible Spike Lee has been translating the questions of his time into seriousness, in a contemporary form, never neglecting light and entertaining," the event organizers underlined in a press release.
"We can't rely on a powerful personality who questions our time so sadly," festival president Pierre Lescore was quoted as saying in a statement. "His enthusiasm and his passion for cinema gives us the energy to prepare for the huge festival that everyone is waiting for," said General Representative Theory Framex.
This 74th edition, at the Palace des festivals, is seldom expected: if health conditions allow it to take place on scheduled dates, it will be the most important world cinema gathering for more than a year. Most of the other major festivals have been forced to cancel in recent months or have satisfied themselves with online editions.

Q: giving app permissions to read my graph api for active directory https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-list-members?view=graph-rest-1.0
For application permissions, the effective permissions of your app will be the full level of privileges implied by the permission. For example, an app that has the User.ReadWrite.All application permission can update the profile of every user in the organization.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference
Question:  How and where do I give my app permission to user.readwrite.all?

A: If you are using Azure AD v1 endpoint, then you can provide the permissions to Microsoft Graph API by going to the Azure AD application registration page where you can select which kind of permissions you want to give e.g. application or delegated permissions. On portal page you can go to Settings of the application and use "Required Permissions" blade to add respective API, in your case it would "Microsoft Graph" and then selecting the required permissions level. In your case "User.ReadWrite.All" will be listed as "Read and Write all user's full profiles" in the permissions list. Please find below the screenshots -

and

You can also refer to MSDN blog which talks about adding the correct Permissions for Microsoft Graph or Azure Active Directory API call.
Please refer to blog if you are using Azure AD v2 enpoint.  You can also refer to know the difference between v1 and v2 endpoints over here.


Ques. What is JMS queue?
Ans. A staging area that contains messages that have been sent and are waiting to be read. Note that, contrary to what the name queue suggests, messages don't have to be delivered in the order sent. If the message driven bean pool contains more than one instance then messages can be processed concurrently and thus it is possible that a later message is processed sooner than an earlier one. A JMS queue guarantees only that each message is processed only once.


Invoice GST is in relation to Goods & Services is maintain as per the rules and regulation and format that Government of India decide and notify in the official gazette from time to time.
However, an invoice is a commercial instrument issued by a seller to a buyer. Thus, GST India mandates the issuance of an invoice or a bill of supply for every supply of goods or services. Furthermore, its not necessary that only a person supplying goods or services needs to issue an invoice.
The GST law mandates that any registered person buying goods or services from an unregistered person needs to issue a payment voucher as well as a tax invoice. Thus various types of invoices format to be issued depends upon the category registered person making the supply.
A tax invoice GST is an important document. It not only evidences the supply of goods or services, but is also an essential document for the recipient to avail Input Tax Credit (ITC). A registered person cannot avail Input Tax Credit unless he is in possession of a tax invoice or a debit note.
In cases where tax invoice has been issued for a supply and subsequently it is found that the value or tax charged in that invoice is more than what is actually payable/chargeable or where the recipient has returned the goods, the supplier can issue a credit note to the recipient.
Futhermore where tax invoice has been issued for a supply and subsequently it is found that the value or tax charged in that invoice is less than what is actually payable/chargeable, the supplier can issue a debit note to the recipient.
(i) Value of taxable supply of goods or services, rate of tax and the amount of the tax credited or, as the case may , debit to the recipient.
Thus Input Service Distributor is an office of a banking company or a financial institution.
Due to Supplier of taxable service is an insurer or a banking company or a financial institution, including a non-banking financial company, the said supplier shall issue a tax invoice or any other document in lieu thereof.
Thus supplier of taxable service is a goods transport agency supplying services in relation to transportation of goods by road in a goods carriage, the said supplier shall issue a tax invoice or any other document in lieu thereof.

UW System says 'Back to school' in person
The Brillion News
MADISON - The University of Wisconsin System will welcome students back to campus for the fall 2020 semester, UW System President Ray Cross and Regent President Andrew S. Petersen announced Monday, June 15.
The announcement comes as campuses continue planning for the 2020-21 academic year.
"We are preparing an environment that reduces risk so that students, faculty, and staff can return to campus in person this fall," Cross said. "We know the on-campus experience is what our students want. At the same time, we must all recognize that our universities will be different this fall than what we're used to and there will be campus-based decisions on how to best address particular issues. But students will be back on campus this fall."
"Our UW System universities are vitally important to our students and our communities," Petersen said. "The Board of Regents has engaged on this issue in our meetings, and I am confident in our prudent, thoughtful approach to providing educational services this fall."
The UW System also unveiled a series of recommendations from its Plan Ahead Team and its subteams related to the 2020-21 academic year. The recommendations from the subteams focusing on Fall 2020, Public Health, Personal Protective Equipment, and Facilities Modifications were developed with input from employee experts from across the 13-institution System. The recommendations do not include testing and tracing, a subject still under study. Institutions are using the recommendations as guidelines for developing their own plans for the 2020-21 academic year. The Plan Ahead Team will continue to develop guidance for campuses, and the recommendations released today may change as conditions change. The recommendations reflect a point in time. "Preparing for an in-person return to campus this fall is a tremendous undertaking, and I thank my UW System and campus colleagues, our chancellors, and the Plan Ahead Team for all of their work," Cross said. "I especially thank our faculty and students, who made the transition to alternative instruction so meaningful. We appreciate their flexibility and understanding as we approach the fall semester." The recommendations include: Maximizing face-to-face instruction, including identifying courses that can only be taught face-to-face (for example, some lab and clinical courses) for priority access to classroom space; considering moving courses with an enrollment of approximately 50 or more fully online; developing attendance policies that encourage sick students to stay home and optimizing classroom usage through evening and weekend classes
~ This is a brief news report. A full report on the UW System guidelines for individzual campuses will be featured in the June 18 print edition of The Brillion News, along with more detailed reports on how UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh will reopen to students on campus.

With bold curves that are softened with elegant accentuation, the look of the Homelegance Chrysanthe Bedroom Collection is nothing short of utterly feminine. Clipped corner case tops are supported by dramatically curved canted pilasters that give way to the scroll-accented base moldings of each piece in the Chrysanthe collection from Homelegance Furniture. Drawer fronts are punctuated by decorative metal hardware that features the look of white hang-up accentuated dark metal. The headboard rises in elegant fashion cresting with heavily scrolled framing that perfectly complements the case pieces. A water based finish highlights the oak veneers over oak solids, with subtle white hang-up lending a slightly weathered aesthetic.


Key genetic pathways are utilized for multiple functions within organisms. The novel functions of such pathways provide organisms with the ability to have increased complexity. During development, growth regulation and differentiation work together to sculpt the final shape of an organ. For this reason it makes sense why key genetic pathways would have function in not only growth regulation, but also differentiation. One pathway that may have this capability is the Hippo signaling pathway, a known growth regulatory pathway. This is a highly conserved pathway between insects and humans. Since Drosophila melanogaster is a favored genetic model in studying patterning and growth, we employ the use of this model system in order to understand the role of this known growth regulatory pathway's involvement in not only growth, but also in retinal development and differentiation. There are five major genes within the Hippo pathway, hippo (hpo), salvador (sav), warts (wts), mob as tumor suppressor (mats) and yorkie (yki). These components have been shown to be involved in growth, cell survival and are required to control organ size. Though the Hippo signaling pathway has been well researched for its involvement in growth and cell survival, its involvement in other developmental processes, such as differentiation is still unknown. This project aims to define the Hippo signaling pathways involvement in differentiation of the developing eye and deciphers the mechanism by which this pathway regulates differentiation. This was done by utilizing techniques such as the GAL4/UAS system and the ̀Flp-out' clone method. These techniques allowed us to assay the effects of Hippo pathway components on the differentiation of developing eye imaginal disc cells. Results displayed that the Hippo signaling pathway was indeed involved in the process of differentiation within the developing eye field. We found that when there was a loss of function of the Hippo signaling pathway, the co-activator yki was activated and in turn activated the downstream component wg, while suppressing the expression of retinal determination genes. wg can then suppress the progression of the morphogenetic furrow. This genetic signaling regulates the suppression of retinal differentiation within the developing eye. These results display that the Hippo signaling pathway has a novel function in cell differentiation.

Mercado District
Barrio Santa Rosa
Our core team members have worked together for more than two decades. We have built more than 250 successful projects. Incorporated in 1994, we believe the secret to our longevity is our respect for our clients, our enduring relationships with reliable trade contractors, our flexible, multi-tasking team and our attention to detail and our commitment to top quality construction.
Tom Wuelpern, Owner
Tom Wuelpern received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan. Pursuing an interest in energy efficient design, he went on to obtain a Master in Environmental Planning at Arizona State University. While studying at ASU, Tom learned about using rammed earth and adobe wall systems as a means of stabilizing interior building temperatures in arid climates.
Early in his career he worked on rammed earth wall crews, so his architectural training is literally grounded in hands-on construction knowledge. Later, he worked in partnership with like-minded contractors, designing rammed earth and adobe residences. In 1994, he formed Rammed Earth Development, Inc. In 2012, the company changed its name to PureBuild, Inc. to reflect that its work is not limited to rammed earth construction.
An avid photographer and hiker, Tom draws inspiration and ideas from his travels in Latin America and around the world. (His account of a 2016 road trip in Chile was published in Overland Journal). Living in Barrio Santa Rosa, where he has resided with his wife and children for decades, informs how Tom sees the interplay of regional design and community.
Jeff Scheffman, Owner
A native Tucsonan with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Arizona, Jeff Scheffman has been building custom homes since the mid-1980s. He began his construction career in framing at the age of 15 and soon after was introduced to rammed earth construction.
His extensive expertise in rammed earth led Jeff to team up with Tom Wuelpern in 1995. Together, they have completed more than 250 projects using a variety of energy efficient wall systems including adobe, pressed earth block, insulated concrete forms (ICF) and insulated frame and concrete block, as well as rammed earth.
As owner and project manager, Jeff is involved in bidding jobs, scheduling trade contractors, monitoring job progress, overseeing employees, tracking change orders and consulting on working drawing details for rammed earth (and other construction methods). He also takes a lead in charting the strategic direction of PureBuild.
At home, his greatest source of pride comes from his role as husband and father of two sons and a daughter.
Anne Helwig
Anne Helwig earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Arizona. Living in the same historic downtown neighborhood as Tom Wuelpern, Anne began working with him in the early 1990s.
She became a founding corporate officer when the company incorporated in 1994. In her capacity as secretary/treasurer, she is responsible for bookkeeping, assisting with contracts and documentation, and managing the compliance and administrative tasks inherent to running a business.
Anne is proud to be associated with an organization that prioritizes sustainability while constructing homes of enduring quality and beauty.
Randy Fox
Originally from California, Randy Fox began his construction career there in the mid-90s, working on commercial and residential projects. In 2000 Randy moved to Tucson specifically to join Rammed Earth Development in order to follow his real passion, building high quality sustainable homes. As Foreman/Superintendent of PureBuild, he is pleased to be able to fulfill that role every day.
He lives with his wife and twin children in a midtown adobe home where his family is committed to living a sustainable lifestyle.
Miguel Santa Cruz
The son of a mechanic, Miguel was born and raised In Tucson, AZ where he grew up working on vehicles with his father. Miguel joined PureBuild's rammed earth wall crew in 2007 and has worked on its projects in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Nevada and throughout Arizona.
With his extensive experience in rammed earth construction and as a certified equipment operator, Miguel is a crew leader on PureBuild's subcontracting work. When not building walls, Miguel also works with Tom and Jeff, using his many skills to ensure that our custom home projects run smoothly.
Miguel has three sons and three daughters and enjoys travel, camping, fishing and other outdoor activities in his free time.
Garth Goebel
Garth Goebel is a native Arizonan who grew up in Oro Valley. He has been building homes since the 1980s. Garth ran his own framing company and has built several houses from the ground up, including his personal residence.
He brings his comprehensive construction background to bear as a Superintendant/Foreman for PureBuild on its rammed earth wall building projects. Garth is married with three daughters.

Home Causes and Charities Wrexham Marks and Spencer store staff get physical for cancer charity
Wrexham Marks and Spencer store staff get physical for cancer charity
From left, M&S staff members, Hannah Williams, Elin Bailey, Lydia Biggs, Emma Jones, George Lees, Emma Phillips, Serena Grey, Sarah Lord, Josie Morgan-Welton and Sian Hooson prepare for their sponsored work-out.
Big hearted store staff were put through their paces to raise money for a cancer charity.
The team at Marks and Spencer at the Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre in Wrexham did a high intensity work-out in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care.
Among them was store manager George Lees who entered into the spirit of the occasion and wore a green wig and matching tutu.
It was part of a month-long series of events which have raised a total of £5,000 for Macmillan.
George said: "It's part of M&S strategy to raise money for good causes and there is no better causes than Macmillan Cancer Care.
"I'm absolutely delighted so many members of staff joined in with the fundraising and we have managed to raise such a fantastic amount."
Mr Lees, dressed in a bright green wig and matching tutu, was speaking ahead of a half-hour sponsored work-out on the plaza outside the M&S Eagles Meadow store.
He said: "The sponsored work-out has been organised by our women's wear section manager, Emma Jones, and I thought if you can't beat them, join them.
"We have such an amazing team at the store and I'm only too happy to take part – although I knew the work-out was going to be very tough!"
Organiser Emma Jones said: "The idea was to raise funds for Macmillan through a half-hour Metafit session with a qualified instructor. I'm really pleased so many members of staff, members of the management team and friends agreed to join in.
"And, as usual in Wrexham, members of the public have been very generous and made lots of donations while the work-out was taking place.
"The main thing is to raise as much as we can for Macmillan Cancer Care while doing something just a little bit different."
Louise Benson, M&S regional commercial operations manager for Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales, visited the Wrexham store to take part in the sponsored work-out.
She said: "Macmillan is such a good cause and taking part in a half-hour work out, however gruelling, is nothing compared to what those suffering from cancer must endure.
"The team at our Eagles Meadow store have worked extremely hard raising what is a fantastic amount of money over a period of weeks for such a good cause and I am thrilled to have been able to join them and lend my support."
Kieron Timbers, a Metafit workout instructor and fitness manager at Total Fitness in Wrexham, led the 30 minute work-out.
He said: "What we were doing was high intensity interval training with lots of press-ups, bunny jumps, stretches and cardiovascular exercises. It was hard work and a really tough challenge if you don't work-out regularly. Hopefully a few who took part will realise the benefit of regular fitness training."
Even the police got involved courtesy of PCSO Sam Gostage who couldn't resist joining in with a few press-ups.
He said: "I just had to join in and show my support. Everyone was working so hard and when the instructor waved at me to join in I thought why not?
"I think a sponsored work-out is a great idea and Macmillan Cancer Care is such a good cause. I'm only sorry I couldn't do the full work-out but being in uniform made it a bit too difficult – that's my excuse anyway!"
And while the work-out was taking place M&S restaurant customer assistant Jane Jarvis was very quietly raising funds for Macmillan through a sponsored silence.
Her colleague, master barista Amanda Hutchinson, says staying silent isn't something that comes easily to Jane.
She said: "Normally you can't shut her up! She had cards made letting customers know what she was doing and asking how she could help. People have been really generous and supported her.
"She raised a good amount which will be added to the store's overall total. Everyone has joined in the fundraising and our customers have been as generous as ever. I think we are all proud of what we have achieved."
The M&S fundraising campaign for Macmillan Cancer Care ended with 10 members of staff tackling a 12-mile sponsored walk from Eagles Meadow to Llangollen.
M&S Food Section Manager Katie said: "All the money we raised will be added to the overall store total raised for Macmillan Cancer Care.
"The generosity of the people of Wrexham has been amazing and we are all delighted to have raised such a fantastic amount of money for what is a very special and important charity."
Eagles Meadow manager Kevin Critchley was full of admiration for all the M&S fund-raisers.
He said: "Macmillan Cancer Care is a charity that is very close to the hearts of many people and deserves support. However, to raise more than £5,000 in just a few weeks is absolutely amazing.
"The whole M&S team deserve a pat on the back and a big thank you for their amazing effort. Well done to George Lees and his dedicated team."
