The proviso in Rev. St. 1911, art. 1830, subd. 26, that a nonresident may sue a railroad company in any county in which the company operates its road, or has an agent, is an exception to the general provision that actions against railroad corporations shall be brought either in the county in which the injury complained of occurred or in which plaintiff resided at the time of the injury, and must be strictly construed; and a plaintiff seeking the benefit thereof must prove that he was a nonresident at the time of the injury, and that he was a resident of some other state, territory, or country, and was, at the time of the accident, living outside
the state.

3. RAILROADS (§ 22*)- ACTIONS - VENUE STATUTORY PROVISIONS · CONSTRUCTION "RESIDENCE"-"DOMICILE.'
"Residence," within Rev. St. 1911, art. 1830, subd. 26, fixing the venue of actions against railroad corporations for damages for personal injuries, means living in a particular locality, and requires bodily presence as inhabitant in a given place, as distinguished from "domicile," which means living in a locality with intent to make it a fixed and permanent home; and one who has no residence elsewhere, but resides in Texas, ing bodily present in the state engaged as a laborer there, is not a nonresident.
We copy the statement of the evidence as it appears in the brief of defendant in error filed in this court, which follows:
"Plaintiff was born in Kentucky and, during his childhood, was carried by his mother to Alabama, where, it is undisputed, both resided until June 20, 1908. Plaintiff is a laboring man, and the evidence indicates that before the lastnamed date he had had occasional employment away from home. He had worked as brakeman for the Louisville & Nashville Railway Company, running between Mobile and New Orleans, spending his time between the two places and partly in one and partly in the other, but keeping his home in the same little town near Mobile, and visiting it occasionally. His mother he says he gave her, paying the principal part then and now owns a home in Alabama, which of the purchase money, and he lived in the same town. He has two children, five and three years old, respectively, and two sisters, all in Alabama. The children are under the charge of his mother generally, but when he testified were with his sisters. He and his wife separated and were divorced in 1908, and on June 20, 1908, he left his home, leaving not only his children, but his bedstead, beds, chairs and parts of his clothes in the house. His intention when he left was to return when he made some money. He gives the following account of his wanderings between June 20, 1908, when he last left home, and January 18, 1910, when he received the injury for which this suit was brought: He first went to Mobile; stayed there a day and night; thence to Meridian, Miss.; thence to Jackson, Tenn.; thence to Louisville, Ky., and stayed two nights, trying for work and failing; thence to Chicago, staying one day

4. RAILROADS (§ 22*) -ACTIONS - VENUE STATUTORY PROVISIONS.
A laborer who left his home and went from place to place in search of work, and working at short intervals, and who obtained work as a brakeman at a town, and who continued in such employment for something over a month up to the time of an injury, was either a resident of the state or a transient, and an action for the injury must be brought in the county in which it occurred or in the county in which he resided at the time, as required by Rev. St. 1911, art. 1830, subd. 26.

BROWN, C. J. A plea to the jurisdiction of the district court of Roberts county was filed, claiming that the venue was properly in Potter county, was submitted to the jury by the trial court, and the issue was decided adversely to the defendant below. The plaintiff in error presented the issue on appeal to the Court of Civil Appeals for the Seventh District, and by that court also decided adversely, and the same question is now presented to this court.
[1] In the trial court it was an issue of fact, but in this court it is an issue of law— that is, this court must take the view of the evidence most favorable to the contention of the defendant in error; and, if there be sufficient evidence to support the finding of the jury, we will not disturb their verdict no matter what may be our view of the evidence.

April 1, 1909, to Haileville, Okla., which is near | caboose. He had formed and declared his purAmarillo, staying how long he did not remember, but working seventeen days for the Rock Island Railway Company. He says he does not remember what became of him after this, but he next worked for the Texas Oil Company, near Beaumont, commencing July 5, 1909. He "All suits against railroad corporations, or was in the town of Beaumont for a while be- against any assignee, trustee or receiver operfore and after working for the oil company, eat- ating any railway in the state of Texas, for ing at restaurants and sleeping at different damages arising from personal injuries, resultplaces, at no two the same night.

"When he left camp he stayed in Beaumont a week 'rambling around,' camping out and fishing part of the time, and sleeping and eating here and there. He let his people know where he was and received letters from them at Beaumont. From Beaumont he went to Ft. Worth, applying for work at Somerville on the way. At Ft. Worth he was told that the Santa Fé was begging for men at Amarillo, and he went there and obtained a position with the defendant, after having applied in vain to the Ft. Worth & Denver City Railway Company. Speaking of these wanderings, he says it was a fact that during the time between his departure from Alabama and the time when he was hurt, he was 'just floating around,' getting a job whenever and wherever he could.'
[2, 3] The venue in this character of cases is prescribed by the twenty-sixth section of article 1830, vol. 1, McEachin's Digest:
It will be seen from this provision of the statute that the venue, as a general rule of practice, is fixed in the county where the injury occurred or where the plaintiff resided at the time of the injury, if he had his residence in any part of the state. There are two provisos embraced in the statutę under which suit may be brought in a county other than that in which the injury occurred. The second proviso accords to the plaintiff, who is a "nonresident of the state," the right to institute such action in any county through which the railroad runs or operates a railroad, or may have an agent. This proviso is in the nature of an exception to the general rule prescribed by the statute for determining the venue of such suit, and, being an exception, it must be strictly construed. Lewis' Sutherland Statutory Construction, vol. 2, § 352. Applying this rule of construction to the facts of this case, it devolves upon the plaintiff to prove that he was a nonresident of the state of Texas; otherwise he could not maintain his action in any county other than that in which the injury occurred.
"This brings us down to the time of his arrival at Amarillo, where he obtained employment December 5 or 6, 1909, and was hurt January 18th following. The employment was on what was called 'the chain gang,' and was as brakeman, having no regular job, but going when and where ordered. In getting the employment he had to give an address at which he could be found when needed, so as to be notified to go on duty, and gave as his address a room in the Santa Fé Hotel. As a matter of fact, he did not regularly sleep in that room nor eat at that hotel, even when in Amarillo, but slept often in the caboose and in different rooms and places when he occupied rooms at all. His runs were between Amarillo and Clovis, N. M., and between Amarillo and Waynoka, Okla. He was sometimes in Panhandle, sometimes in Canadian, sometimes in Miami. Of the month and twelve days between his employment and injury he spent about ten days and seven to ten nights in Amarillo and about ten days in Waynoka, spending more time in the latter place than in the former, because of the longer lay-over there. He never had washing done in Amarillo, but did his own washing at Waynoka and Clovis. He mailed letters from any place at which he happened to be, and the only ones received were at Canadian and Clovis. He has sent money to his mother since he left Alabama, some as late as the morning of his injury. He had never voted since he left Alabama. In the application for employment, he gave Amarillo as his address, and never changed it, because he had none, and that could be his address as well as any other place. During this employment he was first at one place and then another, in Clovis, Waynoka, Canadian, Miami, and Panhandle, and could have gotten mail at either place. He never told people to address him at Amarillo. His headquarters were not at the Santa Fé Hotel all the time. He didn't change the address given in his application, but notified the callboy where to find him. Told them at the Santa Fé Hote Was not at that hotel more than ten nights. He never stayed at any place long enough to acquire a home; had no headquarters at Beaumont or Amarillo. Canadian examined the authorities for a definition of was as much headquarters as Amarillo; receiv- the term "nonresident," and have found them ed orders there several times. Had two layoffs; one at Amarillo; one at Waynoka. Had to be uniform in holding that he was not no room, grip, or trunk at Amarillo, and never such within the meaning of the law, in or
[4] The inquiry to be made is: Do the facts of this case show that Thompson was at the time of the institution of this suit a nonresident of this state within the meaning of the statute quoted. I have carefully
In this view of the case, it becomes unimportant to consider the question of Thompson's "residing" at Amarillo at the time of the injury; for, if he was not a nonresident of the state, no matter where he resided in the state, he must have filed his suit in the county where the injury occurred.
the general rule fixing the venue, which would give him the right to choose any county through which the railroad was operated, he must have been a resident of some other state, territory, or county that is he must be at the time "living" outside of Texas.
"Residence' means living in a particular locality, but 'domicile' means living in that locality with the intent to make it a fixed and permanent home. Residence simply requires bodily presence as an inhabitant in a given place, while domicile requires bodily presence in that place, and also an intention to make it one's domicile." Flatauer v. Loser, 156 App. Div. 591, 141 N. Y. Supp. 953; In re Newcomb, 192 N. Y. 238, 84 N. E. 950.
It follows logically and necessarily that a man who had no residence elsewhere but resides in Texas being bodily present in this state engaged in business as Thompson was, cannot be a "nonresident" of this state. Egener v. Juch, 101 Cal. 105, 35 Pac. 432.
[5] If it be admitted that Thompson was as frequently and continuously at other places as he was at Amarillo, it does not affect the conclusion; for, whether he was a resident of Potter county or some other county in Texas, he was not a nonresident of the state. The fact that in the discharge of his duties he sometimes was out of the state cannot affect this question. From his own evidence there can be no doubt that he resided -i. e. was bodily present-within the state of Texas and was engaged in business in this state at the time he was injured and at the time he instituted this suit.
The evidence is definite and undisputed; therefore it was the duty of the court that tried this case to have transferred it on the plea of privilege to the county in which the injury occurred, which was Potter county; and, on the evidence adduced, the court should have charged the jury to so find under the undisputed evidence and the law.
HAWKINS, J. (dissenting). I concur in the conclusion that for want of a proper charge as to what constitutes residence under R. S. 1911, art. 1830, subd. 26, relating to venue, the judgment of the Courts of Civil Appeals and that of the district court must be reversed, and this cause remanded to the district court for a new trial; but I cannot concur in directing the district court of Roberts county, in which this suit was filed, to peremptorily transfer it to the district court of Potter county.
It would not be good practice in this court to determine a question of law of this character, which leaves no fact to be found by the jury, and hesitate to apply it to the undisputed evidence, the plaintiff's own statements. The most favorable conclusion for Thompson would be that he was a transient person, but that would not sustain his claim to choose the venue, because it is not within the proviso. A transient person must sue in the county in which the injury occurred. As the case was presented on the trial in the district court, the special charge should have been given, but, under our conclusion as to the law, the issue presented by that charge becomes immaterial.
It becomes the duty of this court to enter the judgment which the trial court should have entered; and it is therefore ordered that the judgments of the Court of Civil Appeals and of the district court be, and the same are, hereby reversed, and this cause is remanded to the district court of Roberts county, with directions that the same be transferred to the district court of Potter
The verdict of the jury upon defendant's plea of privilege to be sued in Potter county, the county in which plaintiff's injuries occurred, and in which defendants alleged plaintiff resided at the time he received said injuries, was adverse to defendants, and its effect was to sustain plaintiff's contention that at the date of said injuries he was a nonresident of this state. Had said verdict upon said plea been rendered under a proper charge as to what constitutes residence under said statute, it would, I think, have been conclusive upon this court, inasmuch as it was sustained by the Court of Civil Appeals, and there is in the record evidence which, as I understand it, tends to support said verdict. For a condensed statement of facts see the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals in 140 S. W. 1148.
There was evidence tending to show, and which, I think, would support a finding by the jury, that, at the date of his injuries, plaintiff was not residing at Amarillo, within the meaning of said statute. Plaintiff testified, in substance, that he did not have a regular job in Amarillo, but was employed as a brakeman and was with a "chain gang," his duties being to run from Amarillo to Clovis, N. M., and return, and from Amarillo to Waynoka, Okla., and return; was called once to go to Roswell, N. M., but that order was canceled; by his directions had one letter come to him at Canadian, which we judicially know is the county seat of Hemphill county, Tex., and one at Clovis, N. M.; had some mail sent to him to general delivery at Amarillo; upon getting employment he had to give an address at which he could be found when needed, and gave as such address a room in the Santa Fé Hotel, in Amarillo, because he had no address, and that could be his address the same as any other place; during the time he stayed at Amarillo he did not have a room there regularly; did not have a grip or trunk there; never called that his home; when he came to Amarillo he stopped there; sometimes stayed and slept in his caboose there; never did any washing in Amarillo ior to his injuries, but did his own washing at Waynoka and at Clovis; kept his clothes in his caboose and changed them to the other caboose whenever he changed cabooses; spent from seven to ten nights in Amarillo; slept one night there at the Union Hotel and several nights there in
Hotel there; would just go in and ask them if they had a bed; if they did, would pay for it; some nights would be in a room with others, some nights in bed with some one; would not occupy the same room at the Santa Fé Hotel or other place in Amarillo that he occupied the night before; did not notify his employer of change of direction as to where he could be found, but did notify the callboy where to find him; during the month and twelve days between the date of his employment and the date of his injury, he spent about ten days in Waynoka, more time than he spent in Amarillo, because of the longer lay-over at Waynoka; his headquarters were never in Amarillo, and you could say that Canadian was as much his headquarters as was Amarillo; he received orders several times in Canadian; he did not think the principal part of his work was out of Amarillo; he worked as much out of Canadian as out of Amarillo; was eleven days between Canadian and Waynoka; during said month and twelve days he was laid off twice, once in Amarillo and once in Waynoka; on the latter occasion he had not gone to Waynoka on "chain gang" from Amarillo, but had gone there from Canadian and was laid off there; on the day before he was injured he had been to Clovis, and had come from there to Amarillo on the day of his injury. The evidence does not disclose what time had elapsed between the date of said injury and plaintiff's stay at Waynoka or at Canadian.
that a man may have a legal domicile in an-
other state and, at the same time, "reside,"
within the meaning of said statute, within
this state; and I think that phase of the case
should have been presented, and should yet
be presented, by the trial court to the jury.
I think that, under the circumstances of
this case, the proper practice would now be
for the district court of Roberts county to
submit anew to a jury, under a proper charge,
the issue raised by said plea of privilege.
The majority opinion says:
"The most favorable conclusion for Thompson would be that he was a transient person, but that would not sustain his claim to choose the venue, because it is not within the proviso. A transient person must sue in the county in which the injury occurred."

title, in which plaintiff claimed under a deed

husband, which judgment was based upon the
ground that defendant's judgment against the
husband was void, and did not determine the
validity of the husband's deed to plaintiff, was
not res judicata of a subsequent action by de-
fendant as a creditor of the husband, attacking

BROWN, C. J. The Court of Civil Appeals found and stated the following facts:
My idea of this matter is that mere "bodily presence" in a county is insufficient to conclusively prove "residence" there; that "the the most favorable conclusion for Thompson," based on his own evidence, is that, although he had worked for several weeks for the plaintiffs in error, he did not stay at any one place meanwhile long enough or under circumstances such as to justify this court in saying, as a matter of law, that he was "residing" there, and that, as to said period of his employment, and even as to the entire period of his actual existence in the state of Texas, his movements were so transitory-he was to such extent a transient person-as to open the way for the jury to find, upon his testimony as to his family, his home, and his belongings in and his formed and expressed purpose to return there, that he "resided" in Alabama; that he was a nonresident of this state at the time of his injury. That is what I understand to be the effect of the verdict of the jury. I do not believe this court can properly say, as a matter of law, that there was no evidence to support said verdict. My understanding of said venue statute is

appellee brought suit on the debt referred to,
and recovered a judgment against Frank Kuehn.
By virtue of an execution issued on this judg-
ment, the lot was sold, and appellee and P.
L. Kuehn were the purchasers at the execution
sale. Afterwards Pearl Kuehn, then Pearl
Lane, she having been divorced from her for-
mer husband, Frank Kuehn, and having mar-
Frank Kuehn, appellee, and P. L. Kuehn to try
ried appellant Joe Lane, brought a suit against
the title to the lot. Her petition was in the

proof of title in them. The court held the judg-
ment to be void, 'because it did not properly
dispose of the parties' to the suit in which it
was rendered, and thereupon rendered a judg-
ment in favor of appellant Pearl Lane. Said
judgment,' it is recited in the statement of facts,
'did not save or except from its adjudication
any of the issues made in said cause, but de-
clared in general terms that the said plaintiff
(Pearl Lane) recover of and from said defend-
Aft-
ants the title and possession' of the lot.
erwards appellee recovered a valid judgment
against Frank Kuehn on said debt, and had an
abstract thereof registered as provided by law
so as to create a valid lien on all real estate
owned by said Frank Kuehn in Clay county.
Claiming that the deed of gift from Frank
Kuehn to his wife was void as to him, and
therefore that the lien of his judgment attach-
ed to the lot as property belonging to Frank
Kuehn, Charles Kuehn by a suit against Frank
Kuehn, Pearl Lane, and her then husband, Joe
Lane, sought a foreclosure of the lien he assert-
ed. Frank Kuehn, it seems, did not answer
the petition in this suit. Pearl Lane and her
husband answered by a general denial, and set
up the judgment rendered in favor of Pearl
Lane in her suit against Frank Kuehn, appellee,
and P. L. Kuehn as a bar to the relief appellee
sought. This appeal is from a judgment in fa-
vor of appellee foreclosing the lien he claim-
ed as prayed for, and directing a sale of the lot
in satisfaction of his judgment against Frank
Kuehn."
Assuming, as seems to be admitted, that the first judgment recovered by defendant in error against Frank Kuehn for the debt was void, the judgment of the district court in the suit of Charles Kuehn against Pearl Lane and husband was correct; but it con
ferred no title on Pearl Lane, nor did it affect the right of Charles Kuehn to establish his debt by a subsequent valid judgment. The void judgment did not affect the rights of the parties accruing under a subsequent judgment for the debt. The judgment of the district court here pleaded barred a recovery by Charles Kuehn under his purchase at a sale made under the void judgment, but did not adjudicate and bar his right under a valid judgment upon the same debt, nor did said judgment relieve the conveyance from Frank Kuehn the debts or to his then wife, Pearl Kuehn, of its infirmity as a fraudulent
conveyance.
The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals is affirmed.
LOCATION OF ROAD AND STATIONS-CONTRACTS AS TO LOCATION. The grantee of a tract of land upon which a railroad located its right of way and a station was entitled to the benefit of any contract with his grantor for the permanent maintenance of the same thereon.

Under Rev.

A corporation purchasing a railroad was only charged with such burden or condition as attached by law, and no presumption could arise from the mere occupancy of land under deed that there was a private agreement with the president of the railroad that the road, its offices and station, should be permanently located thereon.

Egil Malmsten, född 16 november 1921 i Solna, död 15 november 2016 i Solna distrikt, var en svensk tecknare, grafiker, målare och konstskriftställare.

Biografi
Han var son till formgivaren Carl Malmsten och ämnesläraren Siv Malmsten, född Munthe, samt dotterson till filologen Åke Munthe.

Egil Malmsten studerade vid Konstakademien i Stockholm 1942–1947. Han målade i såväl olja som akvarell. Hans verk, vilka är dels naturalistiska och dels rent abstrakta, finns på Moderna museet i Stockholm samt i Stockholms stads och Solna stads samlingar. Under en kort period på 1950-talet var Egil Malmsten politiskt verksam för Kommunisterna i Solna, bland annat som ledamot i stadsfullmäktige och dåvarande kulturnämnden.

Han gifte sig första gången 1944 med Birgitta Sorbon, dotter till hovfotografen David Sorbon och gymnastikdirektören Gerda Lundqvist. Hustrun formgav Birgittaskärmarna, olika lampskärmar med pressade växter. Egil Malmsten hade lampskärmarna som sitt huvudsakliga levebröd större delen av livet; numera tillverkas de av barnbarnet Vanja Sorbon Malmsten. På äldre dar gifte han sig med Ebba Rut Erica Cecilia Löwenhielm, född 1946.

Egil Malmsten bodde i Malmsten-villan i Bergshamra till slutet av sitt liv. Han är begravd på Solna kyrkogård.

Mobileye and Delphi parter-up to build self-driving systems
Mobileye NV (NASDAQ: MBLY) and Delphi Automotive PLC (NASDAQ: DLPH), top auto-parts suppliers, are joining efforts to co-develop a low-cost system for self-driving vehicles. They expect the product will be available to automakers early 2019.
The companies are investing "hundreds of millions of dollars" in the project, said Delphi CEO Kevin Clark in a conference call on Tuesday when he disclosed the tie-up.
The companies hope the partnership will produce a high-end system to plug into any vehicle, from small cars to SUVs and trucks. Other automakers previously targeted late 2020 for an initial deployment of Level 4 vehicles, which require no human driver.
Mobileye, from Israel, is a key supplier of vision-based sensing systems; while Uk-based Delphi Automotive is a provider of automotive safety systems. The company recently tested its technology in an Audi SUV that traveled from San Francisco to New York City last year.
Both enterprises currently supply automakers with the sensors and software's that serve as the backbone of self-driving programs in development. Image Source: Delphi
Shares of both companies lifted since the news of the partnership. Delphi's gained 3% to 66.08 while Mobileye rose nearly 8% to $50.21, both on Tuesday morning.
Chief executive Clark said the alliance aims to unburden those automakers that feel comfortable with outsourcing critical technology development. They could appeal to smaller and midsize car companies that don't have broad capitals to fund in-house research.
The technology will rely less on costly laser-guided systems, which bounce light off objects to assess shape and location. The system will be a more affordable system built completely inside the vehicle.
Mobileye Chairman and Chief Technology Officer Amnon Shashua said the result would be attractive to carmakers that might not have the funding to develop the tech on their own.
The pair will work on a "new level of driving intelligence" that will mimic a driver's decision-making behind the wheel. The software will help push the schedule to their January 2017 demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The big players
However, automakers prefer to maintain control of autonomous-vehicle tech via in-house expertise. General Motors (NASDAQ: GM) recently acquired self-driving developer Cruise Automation Inc. to accelerate the research. Also, Ford Motor Co. (NASDAQ: F) said last week it is teaming up with several tech companies to launch a car without steering wheel and pedals by 2021.
The joint project will also see competition from Google's parent Alphabet Inc., VolvoCar Corp, Nissan Motor Co., and Tesla Motors Inc. companies that plan to launch rival systems by decade's end.

Q: React - onClick() with an  tag with an href - disable link for just one div I have a setup that looks like this.
<a href="link">

When I click on the button, the onClick triggers successfully, the problem is it also opens the link for the outer  tag.  I need to disable this for just the one button. I have tried setting the onClick to onClick={(e) => {e.stopPropagation(); setShowDisc(true)}} but that doesn't work to fix my issue for some reason.

Can You Teach An Old Pro Some New Tricks?
Every day can seem like Groundhog Day on the Champions Tour. There is Hale Irwin tugging on the brim of his cap to acknowledge a birdie; Tom Kite twisting his head in disbelief when a putt doesn't drop; Jim Thorpe corkscrewing into that fullback's follow-through of his -- the scenes are as familiar as a Seinfeld rerun. Beyond a little less cartilage and (in some cases) a few more pounds, are these guys, like much of the electorate, up for change? It depends on who the old pro is and what the new tricks are.
The news that Bruce Lietzke played exactly one round of golf between Oct. 21, 2007 and Jan. 16, 2008 -- by choice, not because of snow cover, injury or illness -- will not bump Britney off the CNN crawl. He has long been the best hibernating act in golf. Lietzke doesn't take fruit with him, but once a caddie, disbelieving his boss' claims not to touch a club between one season and the next, placed a banana in one of his headcovers. Come January, the fruit was rotten, but Lietzke's swing was as fresh as ever.
Lietzke and Kite, a fellow Texan for whom long, sweaty sessions on the range come as easily as breathing, have debated the subject many times. "Kite and I have had many a conversation about what he thinks I could be if I had practiced all my life and what I think he could have done if he had just gone home and put a fishing pole in his hand every couple of days," Lietzke said. "I tested it a few times and found out my game wasn't any sharper the weeks after practicing than when I had been completely away from it."
The high fade Lietzke stores every autumn reappears in winter, as reliable as a Macy's white sale. It has gotten him to age 56, and it will take him to the retirement which he has rehearsed so ably. "No," he said emphatically when asked at last week's Allianz Championship if he had picked up any new shots as a senior. "I still play my fade 99 percent of the time. The only club I try to hook is my 3-wood. Every other swing is either going to be a little fade or a big fade. I haven't worked on anything new. I don't want my swing to be any better tomorrow. I want it to be exactly like it was yesterday and exactly how it was three weeks ago and, in my case, exactly like it was 34 years ago. I haven't done one thing to change my swing since 1974."
When Curtis Strange was the best player on the planet, he would listen to skycaps and waiters, if they had a swing tip. Listen, mind you, not necessarily adopt. At 53, he is still looking for his first senior win, still looking for the secret. "Every day there's something wrong. I don't care what you shoot," he said last week. "You're just trying to get better. I don't know if there is such a thing as muscle memory, but it certainly affects your conscience if you don't practice. But I haven't picked up any shots out here [on the Champions Tour] except that pull-hook. I didn't hit one today, and it might have been the first day in four years I haven't hit one."
John Cook is working on distance control with his irons, something his longtime teacher, Ken Venturi, always stressed. It never ceases to amaze Irwin how much more of an effort it is to hit knockdown shots with current equipment than with the clubs and balls he used to win three U.S. Opens. "We came out when you could move the ball all over the place," concurred 66-year-old Dave Stockton. "I'm better now when I'm forced to create a shot. As you get older, I think you lose your ability to see shots. Now, if I'm in trouble, then I can see what I'm supposed to do."
Jay Haas tweaked his putting technique to improve his game as he approached 50, but an attitude adjustment helped him just as much. "As a younger player, when I did get in [contention], I probably played a little too scared," Haas said. "I've listened to myself tell my sons that this is what you work for -- to maybe win a tournament -- and to take advantage of it. If you're in a situation where you can't spit or swallow, and every shot is magnified, it's somewhat of an uncomfortable feeling. I tell my sons, if you're comfortable, you've probably missed the cut or you're in 50th place and nobody gives a rip. I've tried to brainwash myself a little."
If Lietzke started moving shots right to left, we really would be in "Manchurian Candidate" territory. "Can you show me how to hit a low hook?" Lietzke asked after the gusty final round of the Allianz, where he closed with a 68 and tied for second place. "I needed it out there so many times today. But you know what, I'll call you. Don't call me, OK?"

Carve out some quality family time this Christmas by opting for a perfectly pre-prepared turkey.
There's quite enough to do at Christmas, what with wrapping presents, greeting the in-laws and just generally being the host, without adding the stress of cooking the Christmas lunch to your list. However, we all know Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a turkey, so what's a chef to do?
Forget having to sort your giblets and perfect your bacon lattice work while rustling up stuffing mix with your other hand, with a pre-prepared turkey all the hard work has been done for you. All you need to do is pop it in the oven and remember to take it out at the right time. Simple.
We found these cuts were much quicker to cook than a full bird, with virtually zero preparation. Even the carving was easier, with very little getting wasted as a result. Pre-ordering your turkey online, way ahead of the big day, means no last-minute trolley dash around your local supermarket either. Delivered to your door and ready to go straight in the oven, you'll wonder why you ever did it any other way.
When selecting your turkey, try and look for birds that have been left to grow to full maturity. Ideally they should have been fed an organic, natural diet and been left to roam as much as possible. This ensures the best possible existence for the bird, as well as a tastier treat for you.
This whopper of a turkey was a doddle from start to finish and pre-prepared for you by Farmison's very own Michelin-star chef (he's even cooked for Obama). Farmison provides detailed cooking instructions too, so you can rest assured the big day will go without a hitch.
Every bite of meat was deliciously succulent and tasted just as great the next day in turkey sandwiches. We found the fruity, chestnut stuffing was generously dispersed all the way through the centre of the meat, so no one will end up getting a slice without. There were no bones either, so it couldn't have been easier to cut a slice. We were told this cut serves eight but we reckon it could stretch further.
Devon-based online butcher, Pipers Farm, believes that meat tastes better when it's had time to reach natural maturity, in this case about five to six months. During that time the birds are free to roam the Devon countryside, foraging on a natural diet. Once slaughtered they're left to hang for two weeks, which allows for a richer flavour to develop.
This box contains a piece of white breast meat as well as brown meat from the turkey legs, both of which have been expertly stuffed with a festive apricot and hazelnut stuffing. As an extra little treat the pack includes flavoursome cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon. The components have been cleverly designed so that they can all be cooked in the same roasting tin within an hour, leaving you to just heat up the free range turkey stock, which is also included.
We're big fans of these little parcels, which look as pretty as a picture and don't take up too much space in the oven. This pure breast goes a long way, especially with the rich and tangy cranberry sauce that pours out from the inside upon carving. The white meat is completely encased with smoky bacon, which crisped up perfectly and was a lovely balance for the sweet sauce. We think this will go down a treat with adult guests in particular.
Extended families, look no further – we've found the turkey for you. We only just managed to get this one in the oven and struggled to find a roasting tray large enough to accommodate it. But that aside, it's an excellent option if you're having lots of guests and looking to minimise the prep.
Not only is it stuffed with a deliciously well-balanced pork, sage and onion stuffing, but the bacon lattice work has all been done for you. All that's left for you to do is carve, and as long as you have a nice sharp knife you should find that pretty easy too. It's finished with a couple of dried bay leafs, which adds to the overall presentation. Juicy and well-seasoned, we were impressed.
With its beautiful bacon lattice work and combination of breast and leg meat, this centrepiece is bound to please everyone, whatever their preference. Not only does the bacon look pretty (best carve it at the table for maximum appreciation) but it keeps the meat beneath extra moist and juicy.
Again, this is another bird that's had a good life, raised on a natural, organic diet, with no intervention and even toys to play with to keep it entertained as it grows up in the Devonshire fresh air.
If you've got the whole family descending on you this Christmas, you're going to need a whole turkey. But that doesn't mean it's got to be complicated. Copas' turkey comes expertly stuffed with a crowd-pleasing sage, onion and sausage meat mixture and the tricky breast bone has been removed so it couldn't be easier to carve. These are exceptionally tasty birds, with Copas officially crowned the best turkey in Britain at the 2017 British Poultry Awards.
We know the giblets are often thrown away, but just in case you did want them to make a rich gravy with, they're provided on the side, along with a spring of rosemary, the recipe leaflet and a trusty pop-up timer. When birds are grown to full maturity, as these have been, a delicious layer of fat develops, which eliminates the need for basting. Better for you and better for the bird.
At £25 we felt this was an absolute steal, especially considering the quality of meat you're getting. Presentation is spot on here, with strips of crispy bacon fanning out along the meat, ensuring everyone gets at least one slice. Inside a rich, fruity cranberry stuffing complemented each juicy bite. It even comes in its own foil tray so it couldn't have been easier to cook, and if you did want to buy ahead, we can confirm it freezes well.
This frozen bird was embarrassingly easy to cook. Not only can you cook it from frozen (or defrost if you prefer), but it magically creates its own rich salty gravy without you having to lift a finger.
All you need to do is take the turkey out of the freezer about 20 minutes before you plan to cook it (in this time you can be letting the oven heat up) and then you squeeze the contents into a roasting tray. 85 minutes later and we had a crispy-skinned golden turkey for four.
It was ever so slightly on the dry side but the gravy balanced that out. And if you want to make your life even easier you can throw in some of Donald Russell's 'cook from frozen' veg, which included caramelised carrots, goose fat potatoes and sprouts in a shallots and bacon butter. Just make sure you've thrown away all the packaging before guests turn up if you want to pass this all off as your own.
Free-range and naturally reared, these happy West Country turkeys have been fashioned into a 'cushion' of pure breast meat. Wrapped with delicious and crispy smoked streaky bacon and topped with a sprinkle of dried herbs, inside hides a pork and sage stuffing, ready to be sliced and served. Delicious.
You'll probably receive a little more than you bargained for here, as each joint is guaranteed to weigh at least 2kg, with some coming in closer to 3kg. With not a bone in sight, that's a lot of meat for your money. Grown to full maturity, these birds have a very rich umami flavour and develop a gorgeous golden crispy skin.
Some people swear that the darker leg meat is more flavoursome and tender than the white breast meat. And if you're one of them you'll love this organic joint, prepared and presented by Riverford. Slow-reared for a rich, natural flavour, these turkeys are well looked after, spending their days roaming the small West Country farms, before being tucked into straw at bedtime to protect them from natural predators.
This special cut has been stuffed with pork, chestnut and apricots and wrapped in bacon, feeding three people generously with plenty left over for Boxing Day sandwiches. A great size for smaller families this Christmas, although larger cuts are available. Just add it to your weekly veg box delivery for the ultimate in stress-free shopping.
Like everything from the award-winning Field & Flowers, this meat is free range and high welfare, with turkeys given plenty of space to run around the Somerset farm. Larger sizes are available but we liked how this one didn't take up too much space, allowing for all the extras to snuggle up alongside it in the oven.
There's also a choice of stuffing, but we really enjoyed this salty, sweet and slightly tart pork, clementine and cranberry variation for something a little different this Christmas.

SPAWN and CORA say returns are not down on all rivers
Diane Crocker (diane.crocker@thewesternstar.com)
Published: Jul 20, 2018 at 12:05 a.m.
Salmon fishers are seen the Humber River in Steady Brook in this photo from July 2017. - Star file photo
While one group can agree with the approach the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has taken in closing the recreational salmon fishery to retention angling on the island portion of the province, another is gearing up to fight.
John McCarthy is the president of the Salmon Preservation Association of the Waters of Newfoundland (SPAWN).
He said his organization doesn't criticize DFO for taking a cautious approach.
CORA and SPAWN come out on opposite sides of salmon management plan
IN-DEPTH: Salmon numbers continue to drop in Newfoundland rivers
"But we certainly see the disappointment in retain anglers in our association who would probably like to go out and fish for another fish."
McCarthy said the reports showing a decline in numbers that came out from DFO's index rivers certainly supports the move.
But not all rivers showed declines and he's sure giving an additional tag on the Humber River and Main River, both of which seem to have really good returns, was entertained.
"It was a close call."
He said the decision won't just affect retention anglers because once the water temperature goes above 18 C all rivers will be closed to all fishing anyway.
Closing the fishery is one thing, but McCarthy said more needs to be done.
Looking at Western Arm Brook on the Northern Peninsula, where no fishing occurs, the numbers continue to decrease, so he said something must be happening at sea.
"The big thing, in our opinion, that has to be dealt with and has to be approached in some meaningful manner is the number of seals," he said.
"And Grade 5 science will tell you that if you protect the top of the marine food chain, the seal, the effects are going to be devastating."
As for the future, McCarthy said it's difficult to say as the situation could change very quickly.
"The only thing we can control is whether we take fish or not," said McCarthy.
Gary Gale said the closure is a major disappointment and the Citizens Outdoor Rights Alliance (CORA) is in the process of planning its strategy to fight the move.
Gale is the chair of the group.
Like McCarthy, he said the numbers are up on some rivers, so the closure is not justified.
"It's our judgement that the numbers are good enough for retention," he said.
"The decline is not as significant as DFO is saying."
He said the problem is in the size of sample. In the 1990s 26 rivers were assessed and this year it was only done on 11 rivers.
He said DFO has to assess more rivers and to take into account the information coming from the observations of river guardians.
He also said CORA has a major problem in saying no to retention when hook and release angling continues.
There is a mortality related to hook and release with an estimate that one in 10 salmon hooked and released will die.
Gale said that's why the province implemented a cap, a maximum of 10 fish that could be hooked and released up to July 20.
Retention anglers could take one fish and hook and release anglers could release 10 fish. If one of the 10 fish released dies, then both anglers would be responsible for taking one fish.
He said CORA considered that to be fair and balanced approach.
If DFO came out with one more fish for retention and 10 more for hook and release or two and 20, the group would have also considered it a fair and balanced approach.
"They're not doing that. We see it as an attack on our culture and heritage."

Asheville, NC – BLE provided geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing for Phase I of a road improvements project. Outcomes for the project included improved management of high water during flood events, creating new and improved infrastructure for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists at one of the City's most popular park complexes. The $3.7 million project utilized a mix of federal state and local funds and included the construction of flood control mechanisms, the addition of a traffic signal and turn lane, the addition of sidewalks, bike path & road improvements, and a one-way road to improve safety.


Everyone is invited to be a blessing to our Cuban partner churches as they are still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Irma. Waterside is directly passing along funds to help in the recovery efforts as a result of the storm. As always, we place the resources directly into the hands of those who need it the most, and as such, eliminate the possibility of any type of diversion of resource.
Please take the time to remember these churches in both your prayers and with your support. Thank you.

Yesterday, for the second year in a row, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a package of bills that would effectively end the unpopular drug industry immunity in Michigan. Since 1996, Michigan has been the only state in the nation that has a law on their books that prevents it's residents harmed by dangerous drug from being compensated for injuries caused by reckless drug companies.
State tort suits uncover unknown drug hazards and provide incentives for drug manufacturers to disclose safety risks promptly. The also serve a distinct compensatory function that may motivate injured persons to come forward with information.
So now the legislation moves to the State Senate, which let last year's bills die without ever coming to a vote. According to MIRS, internal politics may once again affect the outcome of this legislation, but hopefully with groups like D.I.I.M.E. working hard to repeal the legislation, Michigan residents will have the same access to the courts - just like everyone else.
UPDATE: Michigan Lawyers Weekly is conducting a web poll on this issue. Click here to voice your opinion if the state's drug industry immunity law should be repealed.

Gênesis 35

1Depois disse Deus a Jacó: Levanta-te, sobe a Betel e habita ali; e faze ali um altar ao Deus que te apareceu quando fugias da face de Esaú, teu irmão.

2Então disse Jacó à sua família, e a todos os que com ele estavam: Lançai fora os deuses estranhos que há no meio de vós, e purificai-vos e mudai as vossas vestes.

3Levantemo-nos, e subamos a Betel; ali farei um altar ao Deus que me respondeu no dia da minha angústia, e que foi comigo no caminho por onde andei.

4Entregaram, pois, a Jacó todos os deuses estranhos, que tinham nas mãos, e as arrecadas que pendiam das suas orelhas; e Jacó os escondeu debaixo do carvalho que está junto a Siquém.

5Então partiram; e o terror de Deus sobreveio às cidades que lhes estavam ao redor, de modo que não perseguiram os filhos de Jacó.

6Assim chegou Jacó à Luz, que está na terra de Canaã {esta é Betel}, ele e todo o povo que estava com ele.

7Edificou ali um altar, e chamou ao lugar El-Betel; porque ali Deus se lhe tinha manifestado quando fugia da face de seu irmão.

8Morreu Débora, a ama de Rebeca, e foi sepultada ao pé de Betel, debaixo do carvalho, ao qual se chamou Alom-Bacute.

9Apareceu Deus outra vez a Jacó, quando ele voltou de Padã-Arã, e o abençoou.

10E disse-lhe Deus: O teu nome é Jacó; não te chamarás mais Jacó, mas Israel será o teu nome. Chamou-lhe Israel.

11Disse-lhe mais: Eu sou Deus Todo-Poderoso; frutifica e multiplica-te; uma nação, sim, uma multidão de nações sairá de ti, e reis procederão dos teus lombos;

12a terra que dei a Abraão e a Isaque, a ti a darei; também à tua descendência depois de ti a darei.

13E Deus subiu dele, do lugar onde lhe falara.

14Então Jacó erigiu uma coluna no lugar onde Deus lhe falara, uma coluna de pedra; e sobre ela derramou uma libação e deitou-lhe também azeite;

15e Jacó chamou Betel ao lugar onde Deus lhe falara.

16Depois partiram de Betel; e, faltando ainda um trecho pequeno para chegar a Efrata, Raquel começou a sentir dores de parto, e custou-lhe o dar à luz.

17Quando ela estava nas dores do parto, disse-lhe a parteira: Não temas, pois ainda terás este filho.

18Então Raquel, ao sair-lhe a alma {porque morreu}, chamou ao filho Benôni; mas seu pai chamou-lhe Benjamim.

19Assim morreu Raquel, e foi sepultada no caminho de Efrata {esta é Bete-Leém}.

20E Jacó erigiu uma coluna sobre a sua sepultura; esta é a coluna da sepultura de Raquel até o dia de hoje.

21Então partiu Israel, e armou a sua tenda além de Migdal-Eder.

22Quando Israel habitava naquela terra, foi Rúben e deitou-se com Bila, concubina de seu pai; e Israel o soube. Eram doze os filhos de Jacó:

23Os filhos de Léia: Rúben o primogênito de Jacó, depois Simeão, Levi, Judá, Issacar e Zebulom;

24os filhos de Raquel: José e Benjamim;

25os filhos de Bila, serva de Raquel: Dã e Naftali;

26os filhos de Zilpa, serva de Léia: Gade e Aser. Estes são os filhos de Jacó, que lhe nasceram em Padã-Arã.

27Jacó veio a seu pai Isaque, a Manre, a Quiriate-Arba {esta é Hebrom}, onde peregrinaram Abraão e Isaque.

28Foram os dias de Isaque cento e oitenta anos;

29e, exalando o espírito, morreu e foi congregado ao seu povo, velho e cheio de dias; e Esaú e Jacó, seus filhos, o sepultaram.
