'Strange Ghosts' Once Flew North Of Mercedes In Launching CAF
Home Mercedes Corner 'Strange Ghosts' Once Flew North Of Mercedes In Launching CAF
Oct 11, 2019 | Mercedes Corner |
Frank Cano remembers caliche runways and big skies with War World II-era airplanes crossing each other's paths above a hanger for crop dusters.
As an 8-year-old boy he saw one of those planes, a P-51 Mustang, above him and watched as it took a sudden plunge and grew large as it took aim in his direction. He ran into the hanger to take cover. The young boy heard the plane approaching at a terrifying speed. The sound of the plane's approach shook the hanger north of town on Mile 2 East Road.
"Still gives me goose bumps when I think of it,'' Cano, a Mercedes native, said recently. "I got pretty scared.''
The plane cleared the hanger with a few feet to spare. Cano ran outside in its aftermath and realized the pilot who had just engineered the daredevil act was Lloyd Nolen, a former flight instructor and current owner of the Mercedes Flying Service. It was Nolen who founded the Confederate Air Force, which would gain national acclaim flying out of Rio Grande Valley airports.
"Everybody looked up to him,'' Cano said of Nolen. "He was the main guy.''
Cano's father, Trajedes Cano, was among the pilots and airplane mechanics who hung out at Nolen's crop-dusting site at a property that had once housed the Central Valley Airport. It was the spot where Nolen would bring the first WW II-era plane, a P-51, in the late 1950s from government surplus in San Antonio. It would mark the beginning of what would become the CAF, which today is housed in Dallas and includes more than 175 aircraft.
It all began at what Nolen called the Rebel Field north of Mercedes and not far from where the Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlets stand today. A young Frank Cano saw it all get started, basking in the company of World War II-era veterans and airplane aficionados who formed a tight clutch of men who hung out together and bonded over their love of aviation.
"I lucked out,'' Cano said of seeing the CAF's earliest days. "I enjoyed every minute of every moment I was out there with my Dad and those men.''
Once Nolen and his band of erstwhile pilots had acquired enough planes, they decided to put on an airshow, not knowing what to expect. The crowds they attracted were immediate and large. The first was held on March 10, 1963.
"The traffic went way back to the Expressway,'' Cano said. "There was very little parking to speak of. People were sitting on the hoods of their cars, looking up to the sky and the planes.''
One of America's legendary sportswriters, Dan Jenkins, came down south in the early 1960s for Sports Illustrated to chronicle the upstart air show and its collection of war planes being gathered in the Valley.
"Mercedes is gaining a peculiar distinction,'' Jenkins wrote in a 1963 article. "Strange ghosts are curling out of the skies above it.''
It was an era, as Jenkins wrote, when Mid-Valley farmers could look up from their fields and see mini squadrons of World War II planes flying above them. Jenkins referred to Nolen and his crew as "a curious group of men,'' but they were committed to their cause to preserve and restore the old planes, which at that time few had an interest in doing.
"They really loved what they did,'' Cano said of the old pilots. "They were like a family and they had a lot of respect and admiration for each other.''
The CAF would move from Mercedes to Harlingen in 1968 and then to Midland in 1991 before making yet another move to Dallas in 2014. Nolen, though, never forgot his old Rebel Field. When he died in 1991, an outdoor memorial service was held at his old hanger on Mile 2 East, the same place where he skimmed a P-51 over a little boy named Frank 30 years before.

Benjamin Franklin Thomas (* 12. Februar 1813 in Boston, Massachusetts; † 27. September 1878 in Beverly, Massachusetts) war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist und Politiker. Zwischen 1861 und 1863 vertrat er den Bundesstaat Massachusetts im US-Repräsentantenhaus.

Werdegang
Im Jahr 1819 zog Benjamin Thomas mit seinen Eltern nach Worcester. Er besuchte zunächst die Lancaster Academy und studierte danach bis 1830 an der Brown University in Providence (Rhode Island). Nach einem anschließenden Jurastudium und seiner 1833 erfolgten Zulassung als Rechtsanwalt begann er in Worcester in diesem Beruf zu arbeiten. In seiner Heimat bekleidete er außerdem verschiedene lokale Ämter. 1842 war er Abgeordneter im Repräsentantenhaus von Massachusetts. Im selben Jahr wurde er Konkursbeauftragter. Zwischen 1844 und 1848 war Thomas als Nachlassrichter tätig. Politisch war er damals Mitglied der Whig Party. Bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen des Jahres 1848 war er einer von deren Wahlmännern, die Zachary Taylor offiziell zum US-Präsidenten wählten. Von 1853 bis 1859 war er Richter am Massachusetts Supreme Court. Danach praktizierte er wieder als privater Rechtsanwalt. 1861 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt.

Nach dem Rücktritt des Kongressabgeordneten Charles Francis Adams wurde Thomas als Unionist bei der fälligen Nachwahl für den dritten Sitz von Massachusetts als dessen Nachfolger in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 11. Juni 1861 sein Mandat aufnahm. Da er im Jahr 1862 nicht zur Wiederwahl antrat, konnte er bis zum 3. März 1863 nur die laufende Legislaturperiode beenden. Diese war von den Ereignissen des Bürgerkrieges geprägt. Nach dem Ende seiner Zeit im US-Repräsentantenhaus arbeitete Benjamin Thomas wieder als Anwalt. Eine Ernennung zum Obersten Richter des Staates Massachusetts scheiterte an der Zustimmung der Legislative. Er starb am 27. September 1878 auf seinem Anwesen in Beverly.

Q: enum in a namespace Is there a point of doing somthing like this:
namespace status{
  enum status{
    ok,
    error
  };
}

and use it like that status::ok
Or should i do this:
enum status{
  status_ok,
  status_error
};

and use it like this status_ok?
Update:
With C++11 you now should do this:
enum class status {
    ok,
    error
};

and use like this: status::ok

A: What you want has just been added to C++ when enabling C++0x extensions. However, if you cannot use C++0x features, I suggest to do this:
struct status
{
    enum value
    {
        ok,
        error
    };
};

With a such declaration you can write:
status::value var = status::ok;

Such a structure will also allow you to declare functions related to the status type inside the struct scope. For example, the status struct could contain methods to convert to/from a string.

A: If you are not worried about using enum status type as such, then you can keep it anonymous.
namespace status{
  enum {  // <--- no name
    ok,
    error
  };
}

A: I personally don't like the second variation because the status_ part seems redundant to me. The former version avoids that problem, but having a type status::status looks strange too. Furthermore, a namespace is open to modification, so in case somebody did something like
namespace status {
  void error( const char *msg );
}

You would get a compiler error since the function error clashes with your enum value.
I prefer to use a third variation:
struct MouseButton {
  enum Value {
    Left, Middle, Right
  };
};

This lets me write functions like
void handleMouseButton( MouseButton::Value b ) {
  switch ( b ) {
    case MouseButton::Left:   // ...
    case MouseButton::Middle: // ...
    case MouseButton::Right:  // ...
  }
}

A: I prefer the namespace approach, as it allows using namespace and using the shorter enum values if only one enum is used in a piece of code.
It's mostly a matter of personal preference, however, I feel that solving (potential) name clashes in C++ is best done using namespaces, as that's the point of having namespaces in the first place.

A: Firstly you should access enums using the scope operator, :: not the dot . operator; i.e. status::ok
Both are fine it's what you feel would be more readable. Note you can also use (without the namespace)
enum status{
   ok,
   error
}

and still use status::ok but some compilers will warn you that the extra status:: is unnecessary.
EDIT: Accessing an enum using :: seems to work only with MS visual-c++

The NSA's Porn-Surveillance Program: Not Safe for Democracy
Its targets extend beyond suspected terrorists—and some rhetoric that the First Amendment would protect is singled out.
Let's think through the troubling implications of the latest surveillance-state news. "The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches," Glenn Greenwald, Ryan Gallagher, and Ryan Grim report.
NSA apologists would have us believe that only terrorists have cause to be worried. A surveillance-state spokesperson told the Huffington Post, "without discussing specific individuals, it should not be surprising that the US Government uses all of the lawful tools at our disposal to impede the efforts of valid terrorist targets who seek to harm the nation and radicalize others to violence."
As the story notes, however, the targets are not necessarily terrorists. The term the NSA uses for them is "radicalizes," and if you're thinking of fiery orators urging people to strap on dynamite vests, know that the NSA chart accompanying the story includes one target who is a "well known media celebrity," and whose offense is arguing that "the U.S. perpetrated the 9/11 attacks." It makes one wonder if the NSA believes it would be justified in targeting any 9/11 truther. The chart* shows another target whose "writings appear on numerous jihadi websites" (it doesn't specify whether the writings were produced for those websites or merely posted there), and whose offending argument is that "the U.S. brought the 9/11 attacks upon itself." That could be a crude description of what the Reverend Jeremiah Wright or Ron Paul thinks about 9/11.
The article quotes another defender of the program as follows:
Stewart Baker, a one-time general counsel for the NSA and a top Homeland Security official in the Bush administration, said that the idea of using potentially embarrassing information to undermine targets is a sound one. "If people are engaged in trying to recruit folks to kill Americans and we can discredit them, we ought to," said Baker. "On the whole, it's fairer and maybe more humane" than bombing a target, he said, describing the tactic as "dropping the truth on them."
Any system can be abused, Baker allowed, but he said fears of the policy drifting to domestic political opponents don't justify rejecting it. "On that ground you could question almost any tactic we use in a war, and at some point you have to say we're counting on our officials to know the difference," he said.
That is a stunning quote. If the history of the FBI and NSA teach us anything, it is that officials cannot be counted on to know the difference between legitimate surveillance and abuses of power. Constant checks on the judgment of insiders is vital. As well, the characterization of targets as people "engaged in trying to recruit folks to kill Americans" isn't necessarily accurate. The chart appears to set forth targeting criteria that go well beyond people trying to recruit killers of Americans.
"The NSA is using its considerable resources to repeat J Edgar Hoover's tactics," Marcy Wheeler writes. "But it also shows that it is deploying such efforts against men who may not be the bogeymen NSA's apologists make them out to be." Here's what I see:
1) The NSA is conducting surveillance on the porn habits of individuals, which means that the NSA is developing expertise in discrediting people with their online behavior. It's that same expertise that led to serious surveillance abuses in the past.
2) The people targeted aren't necessarily terrorists. They aren't necessarily terrorist recruiters either, even though NSA defenders talk as if they're the only targets.
3) It's unclear exactly what makes one a target, which is troubling, especially since the chart in the story includes rhetoric that would be protected by the First Amendment. Do we trust the NSA to decide what makes someone a radicalized? It isn't clear what, if anything, would stop the NSA from targeting someone illegitimately.
4) One target is identified as a "U.S. person," so that clearly isn't off-limits.
5) Apart from the propriety of this program, there is a question of its effectiveness. The NSA is responsible for intercepting intelligence that tips us off to the next Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Is it really an effective use of time and resources to monitor the pornography habits of "radicalizes" in a bid to discredit them by proving them hypocrites? I wonder what the NSA would point to as successful cases, if they revealed such things, and whether the benefits outweighed the costs.
In my estimation, it is folly to empower a secretive, unaccountable national-security bureaucracy to discredit people with their private sexual habits, because that is exactly the sort of program that humans seem unable to run without perpetrating abuses. NSA defenders talk as if past abuses of very similar programs are irrelevant. "I think we can describe them as historical rather than current scandals," Baker said. What he didn't explain is why history won't repeat itself. Human nature hasn't changed. The tendency of secretive national security bureaucracies to expand the sorts of people it targets and violate civil liberties hasn't changed. Jameel Jaffer is right: "The NSA has used its power that way in the past and it would be naïve to think it couldn't use its power that way in the future." The sketchy information we have suggests that the NSA does not have narrowly defined criteria for what makes legitimate targets, and it is unclear how abuses would be flagged.
The need for reform is clear.
*As an aside, I wonder why this chart was shared with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

I am hiking 800 miles across Lapland for Trees for Life because we need wilder landscapes and wilder people!
We plant trees in the Scottish Highlands to restore the Caledonian Forest.
Departing on 25 July 18, starting from the most Northern part of Europe at Nordkapp in Norway, I will be donning my rucksack as I head South through Norway, Finland and Sweden, crossing through taiga forest, snow-capped mountains and immense wetlands rich with wildlife, wild camping along the way. It should take around 70 days to complete.
I will be producing an adventure documentary of the expedition which will be ready by January 2019, when I will screen the film and deliver talks in schools and at events, in the hope that my photographs, films and talks will inspire people to help reverse the decline in wildlife populations, get outside and enjoy the wilderness.
Thank you for donating, and taking the time to check it out!
Trees for Life is one of the UK's leading conservation volunteering charities. Your support will help to plant trees and restore wildlife habitats in the Scottish Highlands, creating a wilderness forest where people and wildlife can thrive.

Lying about name brands is the beginning of a slippery slope. Of lies.
Researchers at UNC Chapel Hill, Harvard Business School, and Duke conducted a series of experiments that showed that people who wear or believe they are wearing counterfeit goods are also significantly more likely to cheat and lie. In one study, a large sample of women were given Chloé sunglasses-the glasses were real, but half the women were told they were fake-and asked to take a math quiz and grade themselves on the honor principle.
Even if you don't choose to wear knock-offs — just knowing that you are wearing knock-offs makes you more likely to cheat.
Throw another one on the pile of absurd lies that Real Americans are willing to believe without a second thought as long as they will get another reason to hate Obama.
Apparently now, the President wants to ban fishing. What? Yes, he has set up a task force that is looking to make some recommendations about managing our waterways. It is therefore not a stretch (read: completely untrue) that the task force will ban recreational fishing.
Here's some research from Media Matters.

This paper documents research undertaken to evaluate the thermal transmittance of building elements – walls, windows and ceilings – both before and after the addition of insulation in traditionally constructed Scottish buildings. Thirteen different types of insulation (both natural and synthetic) were assessed during the study in a range of buildings.
The study found that in each instance where an insulation material was installed, regardless of location and method, an improved U-value of at least 38% was recorded, with a maximum improvement of 88%. On average, solid wall insulation, either applied to the cavity, internal lining, or external face, reduced the U-value by 59%, secondary glazing reduced the window U-value by 75%, and ceiling insulation reduced the U-value by 77%.

As solely a seller's real estate agent, my specialty is strictly concentrated entirely on assisting families to most effectively offer their houses for the maximum possible sales price within the time frame preferred.
And if you need to buy a property, we completely understand why you need to find a perfect buyer realtor to get the most terrific value available that you can afford in the most exclusive suburb.
We are more than happy to recommend you to a superior buyer realtor. Notwithstanding, if our team has in fact worked to help you sell your property, we are happy to work for you as a purchaser real estate agent who can help you to obtain a brand new residence to get the most valuable price possible that you can afford in the safest district.
I have actually learned what makes a property to result in the highest sales price without having to devote money to create renovations. However, for homeowners who wish to make a handful of modest renovations, I understand which improvements will most likely lead to a greater sales price for the house and which improvements commonly will not. One explanation why I really love being a seller real estate agent is actually because this enables me to utilize a large variety of capabilities that I have established for many years to accomplish a remarkable result for my customers. These abilities consist of creative imagination, building and construction knowledge, as well as regional real estate market conditions and property developments. I concentrate on the favorable elements of the property. Naturally, I can easily find the issues too, but I possess the opportunity of, and also acquire a lot of contentment by, utilizing my abilities to repair or minimize the issues for little or no cost. This is actually extremely pleasing for my client too. As the seller realtor, I want to consider myself as a proficient positive negotiator.
The purchaser real estate broker is commonly a negative mediator, drafting due dates, demands, and deadlines and discovering deficiencies, defects, and discrepancies as well as demonstrating a deadpan face, consistently acting dumbfounded regarding the residence of the homeowner, and demonstrating desperation, disenchantment, defeat, despair, and disillusionment. Obviously, this is actually an oversimplification but I have truly seen it played out often times. I have passion concerning the product I am actually marketing: the residence is actually unique, it is very special. I appear to, and also absolutely believe that, I negotiate from power, never from weakness. The buyer broker is, undoubtedly, in a hurry as well as whips up time demands and screams out final proposals, and requires devil-may-care due dates. I never signify to the buyer real estate agent that we are actually determined to sell the home, even though my sellers are.
These negotiations are certainly not a game to me, they are actually a very major venture, yet, I specifically like them, all the same. And also I specifically relish winning for my homeowners.
Solely specializing in helping individuals to efficiently market their properties for the greatest possible revenue within the space of time intended.

Q: ID a youth novel about an evolving creature that grows over time with several illustrations throughout This is a novel I read as a kid/teen in the 90s, I'm not sure if it was new at the time or not.
I believe it was set in a small town, possibly in England. There was a farm, where some kind of creature was evolving throughout the novel. One big reason I remember this book so strongly is that the book featured illustrations of the creature at different stages of its evolution throughout the book. I can't remember if it was an alien or a genetic experiment of some kind.
There was a romance between a boy and a girl, they were probably teens.
Every few chapters there would be a new illustration of this creature growing. These were the only illustrations in the book, it was not a graphic novel.
I vividly remember how the creature looked, it was pretty scary - it started looking like a simple organism, evolved into a long "eel" like form, and finally a larger beast. It reminded me of a prehistoric sea-dwelling creature of some kind.
I wish I could remember more specifics! I can't remember how the farm was involved exactly but I believe it was connected with this evolving creature in some way.

A: Could this be Robert Heinlein's 1954 young adult novel The Star Beast?
Teenager John Thomas Stuart's pet Lummox, found on a distant planet by his grandfather, has been with his family for three generations slowly growing larger and more complex. However it didn't start out eel like, but was described as an eight legged dachshund that grew to the size of a triceratops. Along the way it learns to talk and then swelling bumps turn out to be budding arms. It is very childlike but the townsfolk are scared of it because of its size. When it causes too much damage the town orders it destroyed. John Thomas and his pet run away to the countryside to escape and are joined by his girlfriend Betty. In the end, a powerful, space traveling race has have been looking for Lummox since he went missing all those years ago.
I don't remember my copy having illustrations beyond the cover, but as a young adult novel I can easily see an edition being that way and the artist taking liberties. While the boy doesn't live on a farm, a farm and several greenhouses do play into the story line as the creature wanders loose.

Shorey, Paul. Papers
Paul Shorey, Professor of Greek Language and Literature (1857-1934). The Shorey Papers comprise manuscript and printed materials on literature, the classics, education, and cultural history. Included are typescripts of popular lectures Shorey delivered as the Roosevelt Visiting Professor in Berlin in 1913-1914, lectures and correspondence relating to the "Assault on Humanism," and notes for the volumes which resulted from his "Platonic Studies" project which was funded by the General Education Board.
When quoting material from this collection, the preferred citation is: Shorey, Paul. Papers, [Box #, Folder #], Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Biographical Note
Paul Shorey, Professor of Greek Language and Literature, was born on August 3, 1857, in Davenport, Iowa. The family moved to Chicago in 1865 where his father, Daniel Lewis Shorey, established a successful law practice and eventually was elected alderman. In 1874, Paul entered Harvard, his father's alma mater, where he undertook a course of classics, history and philosophy, graduating with highest honors in those fields. After his graduation in 1878, he studied law with his father and was admitted to the bar in 1879. For the next two years, the younger Shorey was employed as a notary public and the director of the Des Moines and Minneapolis Railroad Company, but he became bored with the legal profession and, in 1881, began advanced studies in the classics as a non-matriculating student at the University of Leipzig under a Kirkland Fellowship from Harvard. In 1882-83, Shorey was among the members of the first class of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. There was no formal course of study at that time, but he was interested enough to enroll at the University of Munich in the fall of 1883. After some disagreement with the faculty there over the suitability of his proposed thesis subjects, he convinced Wilhelm von Christ to direct his research, and was awarded the Ph.D. in 1884. His dissertation was titled, De Platonis idearum doctrina atque mentis humanae notionibus commentatio.
Despite his superior abilities and credentials, Paul Shorey had difficulty finding a professional position; while investigating academic possibilities, he wrote reviews and considered working on a literary journal. In 1885, however, the dean of the newly founded women's college, Bryn Mawr, offered him an assistant professorship in Latin and philosophy. The association was one which Shorey would afterward remember fondly: he enjoyed his teaching responsibilities and was quickly promoted to a full professorship. The publication of his first article in a professional journal, The American Journal of Philology, led to a close friendship with the editor, Basil Gildersleeve, one of the country's foremost classical scholars.
In 1885, Judge Daniel Shorey had moved to Hyde Park where he made the acquaintance of William Rainey Harper, who was then on the faculty of the Baptist Seminary in Morgan Park. Judge Shorey became a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago in 1890; he was the chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and served on various other committees, sometimes providing informal legal advice, until his death in 1899. Harper recognized in Paul Shorey the scholarly acumen and initiative necessary to shape a superior faculty and program at the proposed university and offered to make him head professor of either Greek or philosophy; Shorey served as the head of the Greek department until 1927, while also presiding over the editorial board of Classical Philology, the department's prestigious journal, from 1906 to 1934. In 1895, he married one of his graduate students, Emma Large Gilbert. Miss Gilbert had come to the University on a fellowship to study Latin with William Gardner Hale, Shorey's colleague in Latin.
In 1896, Paul Shorey published his first non-classical article, "Present Conditions of Literary Production." In the years that followed, Shorey gained a nation-wide reputation as a man of letters and an eloquent spokesman for education. "The Case for the Classics" was published in 1910, the same year that he served as president of the American Philological Association. Seven years later, "The Assault on Humanism" thrust Shorey into the limelight in a debate over the philosophy, methods, and aims of education in the modern world with such advocates of the "new" education as Abraham Flexner, Charles Eliot, and John Dewey. Throughout his career, Shorey was much sought after as a popular speaker for dinner meetings, commencements and clubs, and his articles and reviews appeared in a wide range of national publications.
Shorey's popularity as a speaker was matched by his success as a professional scholar. His prolific publishing included four major books: Horace: Odes and Epodes, The Unity of Plato's Thought, What Plato Said, and the Loeb edition of Plato's Republic. A fifth, What Plato Meant, was in the planning stage when he died. Shorey held numerous visiting professorships and delivered many series of addresses on the classics, Plato, and Aristotle, comparative literature and philosophy, and cultural history. In 1911, he delivered six lectures on "Greek and English Poetry" at the Harrison Foundation of the University of Pennsylvania. These coincided with six lectures on "The Platonic Tradition in Philosophy and Literature" at Columbia University. The following year Shorey was awarded the Percy Turnbull Memorial Lectureship at Johns Hopkins and was also named the Gardiner.
Martin Lane Lecturer at Harvard. In both cases he delivered a series of six lectures, "The Greek Epigram and the Palantine Anthology" as Turnbull Lecturer and "Life and Letters at Athens from Pericles to Alexander" as Lane Lecturer.
Shorey's international reputation as a scholar of Plato and Aristotle resulted in his being named the Roosevelt Exchange Professor in Berlin for the year 1913-14. He directed a graduate seminar on Aristotle's De Anima and lectured extensively on the literary and cultural history of America to a broad public audience. Of at least thirty separate addresses given in Berlin, less than a dozen have survived, and of the graduate seminar itself, only opening and concluding remarks remain. The choice of Shorey for this post was a controversial one: never a man to conceal his opinions, he had made numerous strong criticisms of German scholarship and the attitude that produced and pervaded it. The proposed subject of his seminar was twice rejected by Wilamowitz von Moellendorff before a consensus was reached, and the year began with a great deal of tension on both sides. As newspapers and journals ultimately attested, however, Shorey achieved a great success in Berlin, and his anti-German criticisms were forgotten in the wake of his wit and learning.
In 1916, Shorey delivered both the Lowell Institute lectures in Boston, where he spoke on "Six Aspects of Platonism in European Literature," and the Norman Wait Harris lectures at Northwestern University dealing with the development of ethical and spiritual religion in Greek literature. The latter were greatly revised and presented at a Columbia University summer series of lectures on the permanent value of Greek literature. In 1916, Shorey was also Sather lecturer at Berkeley for the first time; he held this honor three times in all, eventually refusing Benjamin Ide Wheeler's extraordinary offer to make him the "permanent" Sather lecturer. Some of Shorey's Sathers survive in manuscript form, and the third Sather series was revised by Shorey and Costas for publication under the title Platonism: Ancient and Modern. Shorey's Sather topics included "The Broader Aspects of Platonism and its Significance for European Literature" (1916); "Aristotle and Aristotelianism" (1919); and "History of Platonism" (1928). In 1923, the Henry Lynn Moore Foundation invited Shorey to deliver the Dartmouth Alumni Lectures and he responded with a series on "Greek Thinkers and Modern Thought". Shorey traveled to Belgium and France the next year to lecture and to accept an honorary degree from the University of Liège, one of eleven honorary degrees he received in law, language, and letters.
Perhaps no lecture had a more immediate effect on Shorey's career than the one delivered to the Phi Beta Kappa of Cornell University on December 6, 1927, on the subject, "Can an American Be an Optimist?" The publication of this address precipitated an editorial in the New York Times, "Secretaries for Shorey," which coincided with the University of Chicago's receipt of a $250,000 grant from the General Education Board for research in the humanities. Shorey was awarded $25,000 of this grant to fund five years of research on his "Platonic Studies" project which resulted in the publication of the well-received What Plato Said (1933). The General Education Board grant also laid the groundwork for a corresponding treatment of Aristotle which was unfortunately never completed.
In the final years of his life, Shorey continued to teach and lecture and brought to near completion many of the larger scholarly projects of his life: he completed Plato: Republic, Vol. I, for the Loeb Library in 1933, but Platonism: Ancient and Modern and Plato: Republic, Vol. II had to be edited by two of his colleagues, Procope Costas and Stella Lange. In December of 1933, Shorey suffered a paralyzing stroke from which he recovered sufficiently in the following months to return to his office in the quadrangles during the Winter Quarter of 1934. A second stroke in mid-April of that year left him in a coma from which he did not regain consciousness. He died at home in Hyde Park on April 24, 1934; the letters of condolence, tributes and articles that followed demonstrated the quality and the extent of his effect upon his contemporaries.
Series I: Daniel Shorey, contains manuscripts and memorabilia of Judge Daniel Lewis Shorey, a member of the original University of Chicago Board of Trustees and an associate of William Rainey Harper. Included are occasional speeches on legal as well as literary topics, briefs, and reprints. The memorabilia includes certificates of counsel, Columbian Exposition souvenirs, published obituaries, and a transcript of the eulogy delivered at Judge Shorey's funeral.
Series II: Correspondence, comprises five folders of correspondence to Paul Shorey, mostly concerning lectureships and articles in the popular press. Many of the letters are in answer to two articles, "Literature and Modern Life" and "Evolution: A Conservative's Apology." Also included are drafts of some of Shorey's letters and the carbon copy of his letter to David Stevens, associate dean of faculties, reporting the progress of the "Platonic Studies" project, one of several University of Chicago projects in the humanities funded by the General Education Board grant.
Series III: Lectures and Speeches comprises those manuscripts and typescripts which can be positively identified with Shorey's numerous visiting professorships and lecture series; in no case, however, has an entire series survived, and it is impossible to ascertain how finished these pieces are. The major lecture series represented here are: Belgium, 1924; Berlin, 1913-14; Dartmouth, 1923; Lowell Institute, 1916; Sather, 1916 and 1928. Also included in this series are single lectures whose occasion is known and lectures to specific groups, such as the local chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Bryn Mawr students and alumnae.
Series IV: Notes and Lectures is divided into four main categories-Classics, Plato, Aristotle, Non-classics. The first subseries, Classics, includes both Greek and Latin. Because of Shorey's reputation in and focus on the study of Greek philosophy, separate subseries have been established for Plato and Aristotle. Arrangement within these subseries is generally by subject matter: Greek tragedians, for example, are grouped together and followed by Shorey's notes on drama and metrics. Notes or lectures on particular texts, such as Plato's dialogs and the spurious works, are arranged alphabetically by title. The often fragmentary or unclear focus of these discussions has resulted in the creation of more general entries such as, "the good" or "modernisms." The fourth subseries, "Non-classics," contains much of what is most significant in the collection. As a popular writer and critic as well as an entertaining and thoughtful speaker, Shorey's impact upon his generation was felt in circles much wider than those delineated by the University of Chicago or classical scholarship, and his popularity and success outside those circles demonstrate the accuracy with which he judged his audiences as well as the common outlook they shared. The speeches on non-classical topics are primarily concerned with education, comparative literature, culture and philosophy, and language. Shorey sometimes addressed larger audiences through the radiobroadcasting media; two of these broadcasts survive in typescript form. He also spoke on political and social topics and, on a lighter note, was not above delivering charming accounts of his earliest visits to Greece and Rome.
Series V: Greek Manuscript Photostats comprises three boxes of photostatic reproductions of manuscripts of a Greek text, De vitiosa verecundia commentariolus, as well as a Photostat of an early printed edition of the work. The individual manuscripts have not been identified.
Series VI: Publications comprises five subseries-Typescript Drafts, Final Typescripts-Articles, Final Typescripts-Reviews, Reprints, Bound Reprints-of materials known to be connected with Shorey's extensive body of published works. The first subseries, Typescript Drafts, contains chapter drafts, in varying states of completeness, of three of Shorey's books: Platonism: Ancient and Modern (46:7-47:6); What Plato Said (47:7-8); and Plato: Republic, Vol. I (48:5). Shorey's notes for and drafts of "Evolution: A Conservative's Apology" are also included in this subseries (48:6-8). The second subseries is divided into smaller articles and reviews; these are arranged in alphabetical order by title, as are the reprints of the following subseries. The bound reprints comprise 8 volumes of Shorey's shorter, miscellaneous works, many of which are not mentioned in the scholarly bibliographies due to the more general nature of their topics. An index to the miscellaneous papers is foldered with the set; volume two is unfortunately missing.
Series VII: Writings by others, comprises student papers and notes submitted to Shorey in his capacity as editor of Classical Philology for possible publication in the journal. The notes are arranged alphabetically by author's name.
Series VIII: Memorabilia contains three sub-series: Harvard, Berlin, and General, which is, with the exception of some materials relating to the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, all University of Chicago-related. The Harvard memorabilia includes grade reports, photographs, and the published reports of the class secretary. Also included are a typescript of Shorey's valedictory address and a copy of a book of Harvard Lampoon cartoons. The Berlin subseries begins with newspaper clippings about Shorey's selection and tenure as the Roosevelt Visiting Professor in 1913-14 and includes Shorey's account of his year there. These are followed by various souvenirs, such as the announcements of his lecture series, invitations to parties in his honor, and newspaper clippings. The final sub-series contains University and personal memorabilia. Included are programs from his many lecture series, invitations to convocations and meetings, and a small collection of newspaper clippings, many of them dealing with literature and culture. Significant information about the conception and development of the Departments of Latin and Greek at Chicago is contained in the notebook of the minutes of the Classics Conference, 1899-1905. Shorey's frequent appearances in the public eye are documented by the collection of newspaper and magazine articles about him; numerous obituaries and tributes are found in the final folders of the collection. The memorabilia also includes boxed but not further identified items: two of the medals and six of the academic hoods awarded to Paul Shorey in the course of his career.

Not sure where to go for a bad tooth? Sprains, big or small injuries, or COVID-19 testing?
People may be wondering lately where to turn for help, even for general health conditions aside from coronavirus. Many smaller urgent care clinics are closed, and hospitals can't keep pace with incoming calls.
Dr. Jason Lohr, CEO of SAC Health System, said they have at least three locations still open to meet the needs of the IEHP community Monday through Friday. They are also testing for coronavirus, and have a new COVID 19 Hotline at 909) 771-2911.
Mainly, he said they are focused on IEHP members at the testing site, but they also field calls from the general community. IEHP is a no-cost, integrated health plan for people with both Medicare and Medi-Cal.
"If they are a patient assigned to our clinic, they have a program called mychart with their electronic medical records. There, they can access a video visit," Lohr said.
Those without technology can do telephone visits.
At a time when other places are running severely short on tests, Sachs has about 300 available. He said Sachs has an agreement with LabCorp to get as many tests as needed. They are the official testing site for IEHP members.
"We are still seeing patients face to face. We're doing COVID screening at our main campus," he said.
Dental is also still available as an emergency service. Primary and specialty care are available, but like many health services, they are holding a lot of their visits virtually now.
On average, their clinic serves about 12,000 visitors a month with normal services, or 650 per day. Lately, that number has dropped to about half volume because some people may have problems accessing technology and virtual video visits. Others may be concerned to come in.
There have been challenges. Even some staff have been reluctant at points to come to work.
"We've had to reassure them that we're in a critical sector and industry, that we will not close. We need to provide this service for our patients," he said.
He suggests that households also help their elderly parents or grandparents get some facetime with a doctor if needed. Recently, they saw a 93-year-old in a virtual visit that was assisted by a younger relative.
At this time, the good news is they have adequate supplies of masks and gloves. In the past week, they received 1,000 N95 and 2,000 surgical masks. A few weeks ago they were short.
"People from the community are donating, the fire department has come through, employees have brought masks from dental offices in the area. The community has really come together and donated," he said.
Those who need extra help and direction about San Bernardino County testing areas and times can also see www.sbcounty.gov/dph/coronavirus for updated information, including most recent infections.
A spokesperson at San Bernardino County COVID-19 hotline said some calls have been coming in to complain that some businesses are still open, operating and out of compliance. Some calls are coming in from the community about what to do and where to get tested.
"They have to call their primary doctor. Their doctor will screen them if they're showing any symptoms and they are the ones that will refer them to get tested if they need to," she said.
Drive-through of nearly 400 testings on Friday at the county filled up fast, she said. There will be another drive-through, but the time or place hasn't been announced yet. The community can call the county hotline for help, but at this point, it's more about prevention. Stay at home and no socializing.
"Washing hands, if you're sick, isolate yourself. We also give them numbers if they don't have insurance, and they'll refer them to where they are accepting patients, or they can call someone and speak to someone at a doctor's office," she said.
Dignity Health is offering a downloadable Virtual Care Anywhere app at Apple App Store or Google Play Store with coupon code COVID19. On their website, they are offering a free virtual visit.
The hospital system is recommending that anyone experiencing symptoms of coronavirus stay at home, except to get medical care. Do not take the public transportation system, or go out to public places without a mask.
"We encourage you to consider virtual visits (via phone or video chat) instead of in-person visits, whether you have COVID-19 symptoms or not. For anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please take advantage of our video visit offering before being seen in person," their website says.

Why A Jacuzzi Might Be A Great Financial Investment.
Home / Other Services / Why A Jacuzzi Might Be A Great Financial Investment.
A Portable Jacuzzi For Your Garden Could Be One Of The Best Choices You Make In Life. Ok, This May Appear Over The Leading To Some, But A Jacuzzi Has A Lot More To Provide Beyond Its Preliminary Novelty Worth.
Having a Jacuzzi might help you to close a deal faster when you sell your house. A Home with a Hot Tub or Jacuzzi is easily remembered by many people, especially in real estate business. It smoothens the client's decision-making part into saying YES by picturing the water, the relaxation and the incredible pleasure it can bring.
Save $$$ Going to SPA, POOL, and the Weekend Getaway Going to SPA means letting yourself be pampered and be relaxed by the water and that soothing atmosphere. It ironically means MONEY too by having that said. An hour at SPA tremendously costs $99 on an average. A Day at Spa has a $999 package with everything all inclusive. Imagine having your own JACUZZI at home, all you need to do is take off your clothes after a long hard day at work. Set the Mood with Candles, Set the atmosphere by dimming the light, and relax with the aromatic smell of the candle. Nothing else matters.
Having a Jacuzzi is therapeutic for some people, it can help save lives. Avoiding stress is what people do nowadays, that is why people go outside and drink to relax, going to the SPA to relax, etc. Having Jacuzzi opens a door of ROMANTIC MOMENTS between you, and your partner too.
– Avoid unnecessary Allergies because of Sanitation and Hygiene. – ——— Remember that SPA is open for EVERYONE, so you can not have a full sanctuary on your own.
Time to DECIDE: Why do you need a reliable JACUZZI or HOT TUB Dealer?
Besides the money, what is the difference between buying a $3000 online jacuzzi and the $ 7000 design from a dealer?
The primary difference is the SERVICE. Although not all online jacuzzi dealerships have bad service, a good old fashioned swimming pool, and hot tub dealership will be able to offer a more personal and surefire service.
EXPERTISE. The training that dealerships of the main hot tub brand names carry out is likewise a lot more thorough, enabling them to master customer support.
CHOICES. In a real shop, you can see and feel the distinction in quality. It does not just involve the control system, the quality of particular brand names is shown through massive displays and showrooms.
GUARANTEE. When you buy online tubs in EBAY or AMAZON, the sellers are not so reliable since those two are not the primary SELLERS, they are the stores commissioning from the vendors. Guaranteeing the Hot Tubs are sometimes not properly done and causes frustration on your part.
In addition to the range of financial investment advantages that a jacuzzi needs to provide, the individual benefits of hydrotherapy can be key to the lives of some people. Avoid the pitfalls of DIY and start by hiring professionals. Integrate your spa into the rest of your home automation network.
