hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
VIII. Father-Mother is the name for Deity, which indicates His tender relationship to His spiritual creation.
Good is not, cannot be, the author of experimental sins. God, good, can no more produce sickness than goodness can cause evil and health occasion disease.
Instead of God sending sickness and death, He destroys them, and brings to light immortality.
God does not cause man to sin, to be sick, or to die.
If goodness and spirituality are real, evil and materiality are unreal and cannot be the outcome of an infinite God, good.
What can be the standard of good, of Spirit, of Life, or of Truth, if they produce their opposites, such as evil, matter, error, and death? God could never impart an element of evil, and man possesses nothing which he has not derived from God.
Whatever reflects Mind, Life, Truth, and Love, is spiritually conceived and brought forth; but the statement that man is conceived and evolved both spiritually and materially, or by both God and man, contradicts this eternal truth. All the vanity of the ages can never make both these contraries true.
There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
If sin, sickness, and death are as real as Life, Truth, and Love, then they must all be from the same source; God must be their author. Now Jesus came to destroy sin, sickness, and death; yet the Scriptures aver, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Is it possible, then, to believe that the evils which Jesus lived to destroy are real or the offspring of the divine will?
Sickness, sin, and death are not the fruits of Life. They are inharmonies which Truth destroys. Perfection does not animate imperfection. Inasmuch as God is good and the fount of all being, He does not produce moral or physical deformity; therefore such deformity is not real, but is illusion, the mirage of error.
"Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him." Suffer no claim of sin or of sickness to grow upon the thought. Dismiss it with an abiding conviction that it is illegitimate, because you know that God is no more the author of sickness than He is of sin. You have no law of His to support the necessity either of sin or sickness, but you have divine authority for denying that necessity and healing the sick.
"Agree to disagree" with approaching symptoms of chronic or acute disease, whether it is cancer, consumption, or smallpox.
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
When the real is attained, which is announced by Science, joy is no longer a trembler, nor is hope a cheat.
When it is learned that disease cannot destroy life, and that mortals are not saved from sin or sickness by death, this understanding will quicken into newness of life. It will master either a desire to die or a dread of the grave, and thus destroy the great fear that besets mortal existence.
The relinquishment of all faith in death and also of the fear of its sting would raise the standard of health and morals far beyond its present elevation, and would enable us to hold the banner of Christianity aloft with unflinching faith in God, in Life eternal.
Life is real, and death is the illusion.
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Where the spirit of God is, and there is no place where God is not, evil becomes nothing, — the opposite of the something of Spirit.
If sin, sickness, and death were understood as nothingness, they would disappear. As vapor melts before the sun, so evil would vanish before the reality of good.
Man is tributary to God, Spirit, and to nothing else.
Let us rejoice that we are subject to the divine "powers that be." Such is the true Science of being.

His political instincts were undoubted influenced by his wife Eleanor, whom he had married five and a half years earlier. At eighteen in New York City, she was already committed to social justice, teaching at the Rivington Street Settlement House and investigating woman's working conditions for the Consumer's League. She arranged for Franklin to meet her on an early date at one, then another tenement on the Lower East Side, causing him to witness conditions that he said he had never known existed.

SUNDANCE – An Intriguing Setting is Mishandled in 'Them That Follow'
Courtesy of Sundance Institute
Taking place in a deeply religious snake handling community isolated in the mountains Them That Follow has a lot to engage with. The topics of repression, gender roles, family, violence, faith, and rejection of the secular world (including medicine) are all up for grabs. To its credit, co-directors/writers Britt Poulton and Dan Madison touch on each of these themes. The issue is they don't seem to have anything very significant or unique to offer about any of them.
The film revolves around Mara (Alice Englert), the daughter of their community's charismatic, intense, and faith-driven preacher (Walter Goggins). She takes part in the rural community's traditions, including their snake charming services and appears to be content there. She prepares to take the next step expected of her to marry a respectable young man of the church (Lewis Pullman) pre-approved by her dad. However, a past romance and the potential fallout with a non-believer (Thomas Mann) has her conflicted and forces her to challenge her father, the community and church.
It's in this premise where the problem primarily lies with this film. There's far more intriguing things at play here that the filmmakers could and really should be delving into. Watching this it's hard not to want more regarding why people choose this lifestyle and religion and what they feel they get out of it, or from Mara and her identity struggles and what it is she wants out of her life as opposed to what her family and church want. But instead, it's a very familiar feeling love story, and one that is woefully undeveloped. Their relationship has already been formed by the time we're introduced to the characters and we get very few indications of why the two fell for each other or that they're actually in love, which can be blamed on the script, poor pacing and the fairly lacklustre chemistry the actors share.
Englert as Mara is certainly the film's greatest asset though. She is utterly captivating, and often devastating, in small, quiet ways. So much of what her character is experiencing and feeling is internal and buried deep, but she still manages to allow us in, just enough. Reminiscent of Rooney Mara in her best roles, Englert reveals herself her to be an actress who knows how to act for the screen without being at all showy or over the top and says so much in a quick look or quiver of the chin.
The remainder of the cast is good, but they aren't given enough to do and it shows. Certain characters can't help but feel stereotypical. Unfortunately, if after The Favourite you were looking for another incredible performance from Olive Colman you won't find it here. It's not that she does a bad job- far from it. Only her character, a blind follower of her faith and wife/mother, doesn't have much nuance to her and besides an occasional small monologue she doesn't get much of an opportunity to shine here, as is the case for the majority of the actors.
Ultimately, Them That Follow has such an interesting and rich setting, one can't help but be fascinated with it. That coupled with some truly excellent and thrilling scenes with snakes and a strong lead performance elevate the film. Sadly though these elements just make it all the more disappointing that it squanders that potential with a rather run of the mill forbidden romance tale.

Bishop Marks, Rents & lands, 1770-1772
[Victorian Web Home —> Political History —> Social History —> The Victorian Revolution in Letter Writing]
Eunice and Ron Shanahan have shared with readers of the Victorian Web this material from their website, Letters from the Past. Click on thumbnails for larger images.
These 'Letters from the Past' are both from the 1770's addressed to Francis Whichcote of Grantham, Lincolnshire. They gave me many hours of interest researching the postal markings and the contents. The first letter is dated 23 January, 1770 - three days before the British flag was placed on Australian soil. It is clearly addressed
Sr. Francis Whichcote Bart.
at Grantham
It has a scrawl on it like a snake, which usually denoted the amount of postage to be paid, which at this time would have been 4pence for a single sheet for a distance over 80 miles. (Grantham was 106 miles from London). The reverse side has an excellent Bishop Mark, of 23rd January, a black, 17mm bisected circle with the date above the month 23 IA, in sanserif letters. This type of Bishop Mark was in use at the Inland Office from 1713 to 1787. There is also a faint black Receivers Mark of RJ in a circle, which - according to the records listed in the British County Catalogue of Postal History (Willcocks and Jay: London) - would be Richard Jones, who held the post of Receiver in the Temple office of the General Post from 1766-91. In addition there are four figures written in ink, three of them crossed out, which seem to be calculations for the sums mentioned in the letter.
" Fleet Street London 23 Jan 1770
Much Honrd. Sir
This waits on you to acquaint you that Mr Taunton has been with me to settle the Quit Rents for lands in Aswarby and Swarby, but desires to see the Rents that he may be satisfied what is due to him.
I have examined my Acct. and don't find that I have paid the above mentioned quit rent since the year 1764, therefore as those accts must be the last he hopes you will send them that he may settle with me — you will find them among the voucher I sent you in year 1764.
As I have no orders from you for sending your Acct did not think it proper to inclose them herein.
My brother joins with me in Duty to you and my Lady Whichcote, which is all that now Presents from
Much Honrd Sr. Yr Dutifull Humble Servant
B Whichcote."
I find it interesting that the writer of the letter is also a Whichcote - considering the sycophantic end to the letter, it sounds like a poor relation who was employed by the Baronet.
At the time these letters were written, the system of land tenure was complicated, and the Lord of the Manor could lease the properties on the estate under different conditions. These could include a lease for life, (with or without limitations), the owner of which was designated a Freeholder; or simply to a tenant, designated a Copyholder. One of the conditions of life then was that the tenants, workers, freeholders were obliged to give service to the Lord of the Manor for a set number of days a year (for whatever reason). This could be avoided by paying a sum of money - a 'Quit Rent'. In fact, many of the letters owned by postal historians are to and from legal eagles with demands and opinions concerning land, tithes and titles.

The second letter also has a bisected circle Bishop Mark, dated 5 OC, and in addition it has a very clear Receiver's Mark a letter F in a circle. This was applied by William Flexney who held this position at the Grays Inn General Post Receiving Office from1759-1792.
The postal charge is also a scrawled mark, which looks like a 3. This is inexplicable as the rate from 1711 had been increased to 4d and it was unlike the Post Office officials to rate the letters incorrectly. The letter is from a lawyer in London, apparently giving a legal opinion about the payment of tithes. It is addressed presumably to the son of Sir Francis.
"Frans. Whichcote Junr. Esqr.
Grantham Lincolnshire."
The address inside the letter is one of the buildings comprising the Inns of Court, belonging to four legal societies having exclusive right of admitting persons to practise at the Bar, the other three being Inner Temple, Middle Temple and Lincoln's Inn, London.
"Grays Inn, October 5, 1772
Till the recpt of your favour of the 1st instant which I received this morning on my return to town, was entirely unacquainted that the fen lands in Timberlands formerly belonged to Kirksted Abby, which I now find was of the Cistercian Order and was one of those orders which were generally held to be discharged from the payment of tithes, whilst in the actual occupation and manorance of the owners of those lands, but not otherwise.
So that if Mr Lucas or Mr Disney - the owners - choose to live upon, occupy and manorce (sic.) their own lands to be allotted to them in the fens, it will be somewhat extraordinary. But if they do not, but Let them to tenants, those lands in the hands of the tenants are undoubtedly subject to the payment of tithes to the Rectory of Timberlands and therefore was it my case.
I should choose to have it previously settled and agreed upon that the lands to be allotted me on an Inclosure should be nearest to the Town, as then there would be the less probability of the owners taking into their own hands their lands in the middle of the Fens.
I am sir, your most humble servt.
Richd. Morland."
This last paragraph concerns the Enclosure of land, which was a very controversial subject at that time. The principle behind the enclosure system was 'Bigger is Better '. It was more efficient to farm in larger units, rather than the method then used by the peasants of farming strips of land, and using common or waste land to graze their animals. But it was expensive to carry out the Enclosures, which involved surveys, fencing and hedging etc, and the costs could not be met by the small farmers. Many of them simply sold out and joined the landless labourers.
Enclosures were not new, but they escalated between 1750 and 1780 to such an extent that more than three million acres of strips, waste and common land were enclosed as a result of 1200 Enclosure Acts being passed by Parliament. As this coincided with an increase in the population, the effect was increased poverty in the countryside, because the smallholders were deprived of their land, and their common grazing rights, so they were unable to feed themselves. In contrast, as this letter indicates, their land in Lincolnshire was to be enclosed, and some of it allotted to Richard Morland, a 'legal eagle' practising in London, more than 100 miles - a day's journey - away. His request regarding the land to be allotted to him shows that he was aware of possible problems!

Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks assists California State Parks by partnering on several ongoing special projects including restoration of the Castro Adobe, the Kids2Parks field trip program and Wilder Ranch State Park's Farm Animal Program. Community support is critical to helping move these projects to completion.
If you would like to support a specific park or project in a park with your gift, please contact us at jo@nullthatsmypark.org or 831-429-1840, ext. 312 to discuss your wishes. All projects are subject to State Parks approval. Thank you.
Castro Adobe State Historic Park
Friends is leading a multi-year restoration effort to open the Castro Adobe as a State Historic Park in partnership with California State Parks. It is the first State Historic Park in the Pajaro Valley. The Castro Adobe is open on a limited basis for special events, such as Open House Days.
Friends undertook the restoration of the Castro Adobe in order to preserve and interpret for the public the only remaining building of the Rancho era in the Pajaro Valley. The Castro Adobe is one of the finest examples of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay area. It is an excellent representation of a Monterey-Colonial adobe and is an important example of Northern California's Rancho Period.
Castro Adobe State Historic Park will serve visitors from throughout California and beyond, as well as locals including fourth graders studying the Mexican Rancho Period and third graders studying local history. In the cocina (kitchen), there will be a tangible link between Latino traditions of today and Californio heritage as students and other visitors cook tortillas, and eat them with beans and nopales (cactus), just as in the Rancho period and still enjoyed today.
The Edna Kimbro Library and Archives – Center for Early California Studies will be opened to serve scholars and visitors interested in studying the cultural heritage of early California.
All donations to the Castro Adobe will be matched 1:1 by the James & Carol Toney Fund (up to $317,920). Follow the progress of this newest California State Park on the Castro Blog.
Kids2Parks Program
The Kids2Parks Program goal is to ensure all children in our community have equal access to State Park field trips.
Kids2Parks (K2P) is an innovative park-equity program to bring students from Title 1 schools to State Park field trips. The program, a partnership with Friends and California State Parks, increases the number of elementary school students from Santa Cruz, San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties who can visit a state park or beach by reducing barriers to access with funds for transportation to and from the parks.
Following analysis by Friends and California State Parks, the cost of transportation was identified as the most-often noted and hardest to overcome barrier. The Friends' Board of Directors made a commitment to address this important equity issue and funded a pilot program that was launched in the fall of 2016 to provide transportation for school field trips. Based on the success of the first year of the pilot, the Kids2Parks program funds transportation costs to the parks, which is approximately $300-550 per trip.
The program offers field trips to 99 eligible Title 1 elementary schools in Santa Cruz, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Title 1 is a designation by the U. S. Department of Education that primarily indicates a high percentage of students from low-income families. The Kids2Parks application and acceptance period opens each spring for the upcoming school year and funding is allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Every dollar contributed by the community to Kids2Parks will go directly to offset the transportation costs of participating schools. Friends members also finance the education and interpretive services provided by State Park professionals.
Farm Animal Program
Wilder Ranch State Park is home to dozens of farm animals and Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks provides the funding for their care, including food and veterinary services, as well as educational and interpretive programs for park visitors.
The Wilder Ranch Farm Animal Program, which includes five goats, two sheep, three cows, several horses, a cat and nearly 40 chickens, contributes to the living history atmosphere at the park's cultural preserve. The animals bring the ranch to life for visitors with a sampling of species that lived at Wilder Ranch when it was a working ranch.
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax-ID #51-0183410).
Friends again earned the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the world's largest source of nonprofit information. We're excited to use GuideStar Platinum to share our story with the world.

Senzo Meyiwa's child now a singer as Mandisa reveals how Kelly Khumalo killed Senzo
Kelly Khumalo recently wowed her fans by posting video of her five-year-old daughter singing. Kelly's daughter, Thingo, is the cutest little girl with the sweetest voice.
Kelly captioned the video, My little songbird and promoted her upcoming gospel extravaganza along with it.
My little song bird ?, can't wait for #GospelMeetsAfroNightWithKellyKhumalo 26th of March @SowetoTheatre tickets available @webticketSA pic.twitter.com/1jDX0apAgJ
— Kelly Khumalo (@KellyKhumaloZA) February 9, 2020
Fans were amazed at how awesome Thingo sounded and believe she could also be a professional singer like her mom.
Some reports allege that Meyiwa, the late Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana player was "accidentally" shot when he tried to intervene in a quarrel between Kelly's sister Zandi and her boyfriend Longwe Twala. This happened at the singer's mum's home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni on 26 October 2014.
The footie was gunned down in the presence of Kelly, her mum, Zandi, Longwe, Meyiwa's friends Mthokozisi Thwala, Tumelo Madlala and Kelly's four-year-old son Christian. In a book authored by Soweto Mandlakazi released by IStru Publishers, Mandisa Meyiwa, the late footballer's wife spills the beans about being married to the Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
And in one of the sections of the book, Mandisa admits to being aware of how much singer Kelly Khumalo loved her hubby. Reads one of the extracts: I know we have both lost someone we loved deeply but I believe everything happens for a reason. It is okay Kelly, it is going to be okay . He chose me first, put me first and made sure I was happy regardless of the little he had .
I have learnt that, as a woman, you can do everything for a man. You can change a season and bring winter in summer, but when he wants to leave you, even if you buy him something more expensive than the Hummer Kelly drove, he will find a reason to leave. .
Mandisa also admits to contributing to the failure of her marriage.I do not blame her. I am not perfect by a long shot. I admit to my own flaws that aggravated my relationship with Senzo . We could have handled things better but I understand that everyone is bitter. When we started with Senzo, we had nothing, and yet when he had everything he wanted Kelly . . . Where I am right now I am happy, peaceful and content after everything I've been through .
Meanwhile, several organisations promised to take care of Meyiwa's daughter, these include the South African National Civics Organisation and Red Farms have come forward to help Senzo Meyiwa's daughter. At some point, Sanco contributed R1 500 to pay for Namhla's stationery.
This comes after former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo promised to take care of Namhla. Sanco and Red Farms once contacted Daily Sun and promised to take care of Namhla's needs for the next 10 years, in appreciation of what Brilliant did. We have decided to take Namhla into our school uniform programme. She will receive a uniform, shoes and learning materials along with pupils from 35 schools.
Oupa Radebe of Red Farm said the organisation would be sending food vouchers to Namhla for the next 10 years. This is Well wishers team up to send Senzo Meyiwa's daughter to school" he said then. Red Ants Security Johan Bosch said his company would also help. "We had a meeting and decided to adopt Senzo Meyiwa's daughter. We will be depositing R2 500 on a monthly basis," he said at that time.


Having a fire alarm installed is critical for industrial, homes and businesses. If you are responsible for the property, you will need a working and maintained fire alarm to stay within the law.
Here at Argus we have fully qualified engineers and have many years of experience in working with fire alarms with all types of businesses and properties. We are also a BAFE approved fire alarm company covering Preston.
Fire alarm installations in Preston and the surrounding areas.
All work is British Standard certified.
Free surveys and quotes provided at the site or in a few days.
Pricing to work with your budget.
Estimated time it will take to complete the installation.
Training on how to use the fire alarm system once installed.
By law, a commercial building or business must have a proper and good fire alarm system. The UK fire safety legislation gives us guidance when it comes to installing fire alarms. While it is necessary for a fire alarm to be installed and can come as a bit expensive, it could save the business money in the long term.
Here at Argus we always try to work around your budget and try to work out the best fire alarm system that you can have installed around this budget. We use a broad range of manufactured fire alarm systems, and all of our engineers are highly trained and fully qualified to carry out the installation, so we can guarantee we can find a fire alarm system for your business or property.
Conventional fire alarms normally are much cheaper than other kinds of fire alarms, but the downside to these type of signals is that they require a lot of wiring, which requires more time to install the fire alarm system.
This kind of system won't notify the user of the precise location of a fire, but if it is wired up correctly, it can be divided into zones, meaning that it can still work out to be a cheaper solution for buildings with multiple floors. We wouldn't recommend these fire alarm systems for big and complex buildings.
Addressable are a little different to conventional fire alarms Preston. Each is connected to a system on its unique address. This can detect where the fire is located and tell you on the control panel exactly which has been activated and where. This is good as it means you can find the fire fast and have a chance to put the fire out before it spreads.
Addressable systems cost more than conventional systems, but they are a lot easier to install because its all wired into one loop, rather than it being split up into lots of individual cables. These types of fire alarms have the potential to save you a lot of money over time.
A wireless fire alarm system is perfect for places that take appearance into account, like retail outlets and other types of shops. The good thing with wireless fire alarms is that they don't need any cabling so the installation can be very quick to do. But saying this these type of systems can be very expensive and have ongoing costs due to batteries being changes etc.
The ongoing costs are normally down to batteries as these will run out over time and need to be checked every so often and replaced.
Give us a call today on 0345 2600093 to have a fire alarm installed in Preston.

Q: for which values of $q$ is $S_q = \{x = (x_1,\dots,x_n) \in \mathbb{R^n}\;|\; \sum_{i} |x_i|^q = 1 \}$ a submanifold of $\mathbb{R^n}$? I already showed that for $q > 1$ it is a submanifold.
Indeed if you consider $f : \mathbb{R^n} \to \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x) = \sum_{i} |x_i|^q - 1  $
then on the one hand we have $f^{-1}({0}) = S_q$
and $df(x) = q(|x_1|^{q-1},\dots,|x_n|^{q-1})$ exists and is continuous.
and because $0 \notin S_q$ then $df(x) \neq 0 \; \forall x \in S_q$ so $S_q$ is a submanifold of $\mathbb{R^n}$ of class $C^1$ and dimension $n-1$
however if say $q =1$ and $n=2$
the set $\{x \in \mathbb{R^2\; | \;}|x_1|+|x_2| = 1\}$ when graphed on a plane looks like this
so because of the four angular points intuitively it shouldn't be a manifold but how would you show that formally ?

European bankers to politicians: Save us from the Americans
New post-crisis banking rules that work to the advantage of US rivals will wipe out European banks, they say.
By	Francesco Guerrera

It's the day before D-Day for Europe's bank lobby.
European banks are about to launch a last-ditch campaign to prevent regulatory changes that they believe will make them permanent also-rans to American competitors.
Their strategy? Enlist sympathetic European politicians to push back against U.S.-dominated global rule-making bodies.
After failing to persuade international financial regulators to soften tough new rules that will hamstring their lending and trading operations, the European banking industry will unleash a full-frontal lobbying assault on the corridors of power in Brussels, Frankfurt, London, and Paris in the next few months.
Banking executives and lobbyists say the argument to be made to finance ministers, premiers, and Commissioners will go something like this: Unless you change, amend, or delay the new regulatory framework, European banks will be annihilated by U.S. rivals -- and the entire EU economy will suffer as a result.
U.S. banks and some regulators dismiss such claims as a desperate attempt by European banks to blame the referee for their losses on the field. But European banking executives will tell their political counterparts that the rules are stacked against them and that nothing less than the future of their domestic financial industry is at stake.
Ironically, it fell to an American to spell out just how important the coming battle is for European banks
Time is running out. The influential Basel Committee on Banking Supervision — the primary global rule-maker for banks — has set a year-end deadline to complete so-called "Basel III," the new, stricter regulations set in motion by the financial crisis of 2008 and aimed at steering the banking industry away from a similar disaster in the future.
Of course, U.S. banks will have to abide by "Basel III" like everybody else. But the Europeans counter that the U.S. has an outsize influence on the Basel Committee, partly because Europe is not represented by one voice but by a myriad voices of national regulators. As a result, the rules coming out of Basel tend to favor U.S. banks, they say.
Make a decision, quickly
Ironically, it fell to an American to spell out just how important the coming battle is for European banks. Jes Staley, who spent most of his career at J.P. Morgan Chase before becoming chief executive of the U.K.'s Barclays last year, didn't mince his words when addressing a Brussels forum last month.
"European policymakers have a decision to make, and it is a decision that needs to be taken quickly," he said. "That is, they must determine whether they care who owns, runs, and manages the capital markets intermediaries that we depend on. We are about to tip over into American dominance and if this trend continues, we risk a very near future in which Europe's capital markets are almost entirely dependent on firms domiciled elsewhere."
The numbers seem to back up Staley's contention. In the first three months of 2016, American banks accounted for 57 percent of all investment banking revenues in Europe, according to research firm Coalition. Put another way, the likes of Goldman Sachs, J.P.Morgan, and Citigroup earned some $2 billion (€ 1.8 billion) more than EU rivals such as BNP Paribas, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank helping companies sell equity, debt, or advising takeover deals.
This is a stark reversal of the situation four years ago, when European banks commanded more than half of revenues on their home turf.
The figures are catnip for EU banking lobbyists. They argue that "Basel III" would exacerbate an already bad situation by raising capital requirements, crimping banks' ability to lend, and favoring U.S banks that benefit from a strong position in their home market and more lenient regulators, in European banks' view.
In fact, the EU banking sector hates the new rules so much that it has taken to calling them "Basel IV" -- an allusion to seemingly endless rounds of punitive post-crisis regulatory measures.
So far, these protestations have fallen on deaf ears in Basel and in other financial capitals. Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney, for example, has repeatedly chided banks for using "Basel IV." Both he and the Basel Committee insist that there will be no "significant" increases in capital as a result of the new rules.
With their backs to the wall, European banks say they have no choice but to buttonhole politicians in the hope that they will see the error of Basel's ways. And since the European Commission, European Parliament or national regulators will have to implement any rules coming from Basel, the banks plan to focus on those centers of power.
"We feel it is a political issue," said Wim Mijs, chief executive of the European Banking Federation, in an interview. "This goes beyond technical. It is up to the EBF to translate the impact of any changes arising from Basel IV [for politicians]."
The tactic is already working in some countries.
On June 16, François Villeroy de Galhau, the governor of the Bank of France and member of the European Central Bank's governing council, criticized the Basel Committee for reneging on its promise to not increase capital requirements. "The current technical proposals made by the Basel Committee do not appear to fully respect this pledge," he said at a conference, according to Reuters.

The bank lobby hopes to achieve similar success in other EU countries. When they meet with power brokers, the banks' representatives will come armed with "quantitative impact studies," a detailed set of data that will show the effects of the new Basel rules on the European economy. A number of industry bodies are working on these and should be ready to present them by early next month, according to people involved in the discussions.
Fear as a weapon
But European banks and their lobbyists also know that a much more powerful weapon than spreadsheets is fear. They intend to deliver an implicit double threat to politicians.
Their one-two punch: "Go ahead with the rules, and you will never get the European economy back on track;" and "Do you really want European markets to be dominated by Americans?"
"We have to realize that, whether we like it or not, the European economy is still largely financed by banks," the EBF's Mijs elaborated on the first point. "Any outcome of the decisions of the Basel Committee will have significant repercussions on the European economy."
Meanwhile, U.S. banks scoff at the second point. For a start, they maintain that neither their regulations nor their regulators are more lenient. On the contrary, U.S. bank executives argue that they withstood sharper pain shortly after the crisis in the form of tough legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Act, an enforcement crackdown that led to hefty fines, and "stress tests" that were much more stressful than the European ones.
EU banks, in the American view, are just lagging behind, struggling with inefficient business models, and only now coming to grips with the post-crisis task of cleaning-up their acts.
"They know that politicians won't ask them about the details," said a senior executive at a large U.S. banks. "It's a narrative that plays well politically, although they are taking a bit of a risk they might be challenged on the facts."
Perhaps more importantly, U.S. banks argue that they contribute to the European economy every bit as their domestic rivals. "What's the difference?" asked another executive at a U.S. bank. "We are based in Europe, we employ people here, and we help European companies. Who cares where we are from?"
That will be a crucial issue for Europe's political class as it decides whether to heed the pleas of EU banks. To ensure that and before hoisting the white flag in this decisive regulatory showdown, European banks plan to drape themselves in national flags.

The Katahdin region must reinvent itself to once again thrive
BDN | BDN
By Kathy Gagnon, Special to the BDN • May 11, 2014 9:59 am
Updated: May 11, 2014 10:00 am
In its day, Great Northern Paper was the world for the Katahdin region, and our lives revolved around it.
Life was good. The towns of Millinocket and East Millinocket proudly carried the identity of "mill town," and residents were pleased to be papermakers. People prospered.
But those days are just wonderful memories. We must reinvent the towns if we want them once again to thrive.
The first step toward rebuilding is to set aside differences of the past and begin anew with the spirit of cooperation. The days of one draw are gone, and diversity is the answer.
Our towns are dying, while we bitterly argue over things we should be working together on, for the good of all. Together, we can diversify the local economy and the workforce.
Understandably, those waiting to return to work at the mill are hoping to see Cate Street Capital receive the $16 million bond from the Finance Authority of Maine, to build a $140 million wood pellet plant in Millinocket. But, for a minute, think about what could happen if that $16 million was instead used to help rebuild the towns of the Katahdin region. Think of the businesses and jobs it could provide.
Imagine creating, for example, 20 smaller businesses that employ 20 or more people each instead of propping up one questionable company — that's projected to create 55 jobs directly and 281 indirectly — for a few weeks or months before it shuts down again.
Instead of FAME providing millions to a business that has yet to show it can provide long-term jobs and pay its bills, perhaps FAME should consider investing in the Katahdin area. If it offered the financial opportunity to people with the will, ambition and know-how to run an enterprise. It could help launch many more businesses and create more jobs.
There are so many businesses that could benefit these towns and make life better for everyone living here — and those people the businesses would attract. Having multiple strong businesses would not only protect jobs and draw more people here to live or visit, it would serve as a stabilizing base to our economy.
The communities in this region have strengths and weaknesses, but each share some common characteristics. We have our logging and papermaking history, our culture and traditions, and our town events. These are parts of our identity that we should not only retain but share and draw on. We also have our own distinct physical assets, such as historic buildings and natural surroundings. With cooperation all around, we have a lot to work with.
Together, we can find incentives to bring in new businesses and keep the businesses we have. We can begin to rebuild and grow. We have a wealth of assets and ideas that could benefit all if we shared them and worked together for a common goal.
We need to reach out to different groups, residents and business owners and bring everyone together for the Katahdin area and the towns we love.
Reinventing doesn't mean we need to completely change our towns; we just need to work together, come up with a long-term plan that is sustainable and stick to it. It won't happen overnight, but the sooner we begin, the sooner it will happen.
Wasting time bickering with each other only aids the exodus of people. We cannot draw new residents unless we first stop the departure of our own residents.
A national park will not save the area. Rather, the restrictions and red tape that come with federal control would inhibit growth. Survival requires economic development, but a national park will limit our options. We need to have both tourism and industry.
Otherwise, we know what will happen: a continued drain of residents and worsening of economic conditions. It's time to think creatively and work together.
Kathy Gagnon lives in Medway. She was born and raised in Millinocket.

What I'm Playing: Super Mario Galaxy
A couple of weeks ago I started playing Super Mario Galaxy. Make no mistake about it: this is a truly amazing, top-notch game. For anyone who has played Mario games before, it is like meeting an old friend -- all spruced up and full of new stories to tell. For those new to the series, the game demonstrates over and over why Super Mario World, Mario 64, and others are considered some of the greatest video games in history.
The Mario series is not about story line. Yes, there is a story -- which is almost always the same -- Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser and Mario has to rescue her. The story is just an excuse for a collection of challenges, usually focused around a launch area: the map in Super Mario World, Peach's castle in Super Mario 64, Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine... You could say that the Mario video games are formulaic -- in the best sense of the word.
And Super Mario Galaxy is no exception. You explore different galaxies collecting stars for achieving certain feats and you use a floating observatory as your launch pad (literally). The story is the same: Bowser kidnaps Peach; Mario must rescue her and save the universe in the process. What could be wrong?
So I was all the more shocked -- and disappointed -- when I started playing the game for the first time. Let me repeat: this is an amazing game with some of the best game play ever. but the first 30 minutes of the game are some of the most disappointing, confused, and annoying moments I have experienced in a long time.
The disappointment is all the more intense because the game -- even from the trailers -- is fantastic. How could they have messed it up so badly?
This is the exact opposite of the sense of wonder I described before when a game has a driving vision from start to finish. In Mario Galaxy it looks like the development team completed a fantastic game and then handed it over to a team of amateurs to tack on the opening sequence.
For the first 30 minutes of the game you are told the story, given a chance to practice the game play, and transition into the game proper. In Mario 64 DS, this takes about 5 minutes. (In the original Super Mario 64, even less since there is no predefined practice.) Mario receives a letter from Peach, he arrives at the castle -- which will be his jumping off point -- finds the door locked, and must chase a rabbit who has stolen the key. The rabbit is an obvious ploy to force you to practice using the controls. But it is also very effective, quite short, and brings you directly into the game. Once you have the key, off you go.
In Super Mario Galaxy you also start with a letter. You are also given control to run down a path collecting stars and talking to a host of toadstool characters (most of whom have nothing interesting to say). Then, there is a longish cut scene (which you cannot control) of Peach being kidnapped and Mario being knocked unconscious. Fade to black. Next thing you know you are being woken up by a star who changes into a rabbit (with two of his brethren) and tells you to catch them. Wait a minute! I thought I'd already gone through the training running down the hill to the castle?
But since there is no other way to advance, you chase the rabbits. Once you catch them, they tell you another story about star fragments and tell you to talk to a fairy for more of the story. Again, cut scenes you can't control and a story that is only barely related to the princess's disappearance, and you end up in a third and final location! (The star observatory.) Some more explanation, then off to your first planet to find some fragments.
By this time -- when you actually enter the game itself -- you are so confused, you are afraid yet another new character will stop you and force you to perform more training. In fact, for the next 15 to 20 minutes, this apprehension clouds the game play. But eventually you realize you have reached the game proper and start to enjoy what is really a masterful piece of craftsmanship and exhilarating gaming experience.
What went wrong here? Well, just about everything. The beginning of the story is told in still frames with text -- but not the stylized frames of, say, Zelda's Wind Waker or Phantom Hourglass where the frames themselves tell a story. (And in Phantom Hourglass become part of the story themselves!) In this case, dull nondescript frames. Then the game begins -- or so you think since you gain control. But there is only one way to go (downhill to the castle) and far too many toadstools repeating instructions to you.
Then comes the cut scene. Despite dramatic camera angles and smoke effects trying to mask it, it is hard not to notice how dated the graphics of this section are. The objects are rudimentary (in 3D terms) and blocky, the textures are simple... It looks more like N64-quality graphics rather than two generations later on.
I am not claiming graphic superiority is necessary. I think the opening of Phantom Hourglass is spectacular, on far more limited hardware. But that opening is designed to exploit and celebrate what the Nintendo DS can do. The opening of Mario Galaxy seems to be satisfied with making do. This sloppiness is even more galling since once you get into the game itself, the graphics are bright and seamless -- a perfect match of game and hardware. The opening and the game itself stand in stark contrast to one another.
Finally, the opening overall is far too long, and tells a confusing, disjointed story that disrupts rather than justifies the game play. All I can say to other players who are starting the game is "hang in there". Try to ignore the disappointment of the opening and enjoy a brilliant game once you get through it. And Nintendo, please try not to do that again. Thank you.

Web 2.0 and the Lack of Process
I was at a meeting a few weeks ago to establish our plans for the upcoming year. In my part of the company, KM efforts are divided into three logical categories: people, process, and technology.
Now, this categorization is a relatively innocuous way to manage the projects. However, I always balk at it a little, because -- although it is clear that these are the three key aspects to KM -- you need all three to work together for any one project to succeed. Separating projects into people projects, process projects, and technology projects is artificial and may reinforce false assumptions about the balance of emphasis. However, the three categories are ultimately a handy way to divvy up responsibility. Besides, since the team I am in is small and works well together, it all comes out in the wash.
I only mention this because it led me to an interesting discovery.
While pondering what to say about our current efforts with Web 2.0 technologies, it occurred to me why this topic creates so many problems for business today. Web 2.0 is all about people (the wisdom of crowds, etc.). It is also about technology (the "stuff" that makes web 2.0 so interesting). But there is no process in web 2.0.
By that I mean that the technology itself makes no assumption about how or why the technology would be used. What is the usage model for Twitter? Who should blog? What should you use a wiki for? The answer -- if you bother to ask -- is usually "whatever you want!"
There are plenty of people out there willing to give their opinions (including myself, it appears). But at their core, most of the interesting web 2.0 technologies provide capabilities, whose potential increases as the number of users increase, but few if any limitations or even guidance on their use.
For example, a wiki is simply a web site anyone can edit. Why? Oh, there are many potential uses. But there are no restrictions. The result is that many wikis (most, I suspect) become trash cans of unrelated, out-dated, and inappropriate content.
A wiki becomes interesting once it has a purpose. By that I mean, someone decides what the wiki should be used for, defines a structure, and decides on a process to achieve that structure. Wikipedia, the classic example of a successful wiki is also a prime example of the amount of work needed to make that wiki a success: A clear statement of purpose, a well-defined process for contributing, and mechanisms for handling exceptions. None of this is inherent in the wiki itself. It must be defined and agreed upon by the owners and maintainers of the wiki, which is no small feat. The consequence is that many wikis are created hastily without the necessary process, resulting in failure or abandonment.
Compare this to earlier technologies. Email, for instance. Process is designed into the very core of most of these older technologies. You have an email client. You choose who to send email to. They can read it, reply to it, forward it, save it, and delete it. That's all. The technology embodies the processes previously defined for physical mail.
Even more recent technologies have process built into their design and nomenclature:
In instant messaging, you send "messages" to individuals who can choose who to receive messages from or not. Once a message arrives, a conversation starts and you can reply or close the dialog. Period.
IRC is divided into "channels" that users can open and participate in. Each channel implies a separate topic.
Even the web site -- the very essence of web 1.0 -- that on the surface would not seem to dictate a usage model, is laden with implicit assumptions about usage and structure. The URL itself defines a host, a directory (that is hierarchically structured), and a page. Ownership is implied by whoever owns or manages the hosting server. A logical structure is ascribed to the information by the hierarchy of directories. And finally the content itself is chunked into "pages".
But a wiki has no implicit structure, no directories (beyond the automated "recent changes" and alphabetical list of titles), and no owner (if you follow the original concept of anyone can edit). And wikis are not alone in this laissez-faire approach. Blogs place no structure on their contents except chronology. The use of tags allows the user to apply structure if they wish but tags are optional, and under the individual user's control. (No common vocabulary.) And collectively, blogs do nothing to help the readers sort through the massive collection of information qualitatively. Which are the blogs that deserve attention? It is totally up to the reader to decide.
This is the complete antithesis of today's corporate intranet, where "quality" and "consistency" rule and millions of dollars are spent each year to make sure only the right information is posted in the appropriate location by the right people using the right procedures. An entire industry -- CMS -- has developed to make this possible.
So if web 2.0 is so completely lacking any structure or process, why is corporate America so interested in it? The answer is because it has proven to succeed exactly where corporate intranets have failed.
Within the corporation, getting people to communicate with each other and share ideas (outside of the set patterns of regular meetings and organizational structure) is like pulling teeth. They don't have the time, don't know how, etc. But set them loose on the internet and they will willingly comment on anything from favorite sports to the detailed pros and cons of a specific model and brand of VCR, free of charge. Similarly, getting anything posted onto a corporate web site can take days or weeks as it passes through the approval and formatting processes. Updating a wiki entry is a matter of minutes.
Nobody complains about the ease of use of Wikipedia (except those who claim it is too easy to add false information). The same can not be said for any corporate application I can think of.
So web 2.0 appears to resolve two of the key problems of corporate applications: acceptance and adoption. But volume of use and acceptability of the software are not measures of business value. Although they are antidotes to the most common complaints about corporate IT, they don't in and of themselves solve the problem of effectively managing corporate knowledge.
So, IT is interested, but they are afraid.
They are afraid of what will happen when you set loose an undisciplined technology inside the firewall. How do they support it (when in many cases it isn't commercial code)? How do they control it (when they don't know what it should or should not be used for)?
They are afraid and well they should be because history has taught them that technology for technology's sake can become a monster. And as much as everyone would like to think business applications could take on the viral characteristics of web 2.0, it is not likely to happen. It won't happen because the audience (the corporate employee base) is too small, the audience is (in general) don't have the time to experiment or want to, and even if a valid business case develops, 3 out of 4 times there will be an existing application that the web 2.0 technology will compete with. Corporations do not like competing technical solutions because they cause confusion, cost money, and complicate what the company wants to maintain as simple step-by-step procedures.
That doesn't mean web 2.0 doesn't have a place within the corporate firewall. It just means it doesn't have a predefined place within the business world and it will take some intelligence and deep thinking to map it to the appropriate processes.

Why I Don't Twitter
I don't Twitter. I can't Twitter. Why? Because I am Twitter-challenged.
The problem is I am a writer. Or, rather, it is the way I write. My blog entries take days, sometimes weeks, to complete as I worry each sentence and paragraph into formation. But that's OK, because they are not time-dependent. Twitter is too fast for me.
I wish I could Twitter because there is something new and potentially transformative about this technology.
At first glance, Twitter looks like a cross between instant messaging (IM) and blogging. So it is difficult for newcomers to see where the innovation comes in. Although the technology itself is not revolutionary, Twitter is interesting because its usage model -- or potential usage models -- are innovatived.
Instant messaging is like stopping by someone's office for a quick chat: fast, interactive, intimate. Unlike email, which is much more like sending a letter and waiting for a response (or not), the presence information and immediacy of IM gives you the interactivity of real conversations. Blogging, on the other hand, is like posting a note on your office door. People may read it as they walk by, or anyone who comes to see you will see it. They may even scribble a response (i.e. comment) on it. This usage of blogs is far more public and yet still a personal style of interaction.
Twitter is just blogging in shorter, more frequent bursts. This speed and shortness (one line at a time) is what gives it its similarity to IM. But the broadcast mechanism (not targeting a specific individual and asynchronicity between writing and reading) is what makes it blog-like.
As I say, the technology itself is not innovative. You could use a regular blog for this purpose if you wanted to. But it is not the individual twitterer that is transformative.
Whereas IM is like a one-on-one conversation and blogging is like posting notes, Twitter is like the office watercooler, the coffee machine, the cafeteria table; wherever groups gather to chat and exchange the trivia of the day. What makes Twitter interesting is the collection of twitters around various topics, events, or pre-existing social groups. Twitter supports these communities (calls "blocks") to some extent and there are new hacks that make it usable on an event-by-event basis (such as eventtracker).
The ability to define the realm of twitters you follow and respond to those twitters creates a virtual meeting place with the type of interactivity and ease of use email, teleconferencing systems, and virtual worlds cannot match. Yes, there is significant confusion and cacophony. There is far more noise than signal. but quite frankly this is exactly what makes face-to-face meetings both enthralling and vital to the knitting of a social fabric among geographically dispersed individuals.
You don't choose your lunch companions because they will teach you something new. You choose them because they are fun to talk to, comfortable to be with, or just familiar. The fact that trivia and tiny fragments of information get shared in the grousing, joking, and storytelling that might end up being remembered and critical later on is the serendipity that is hard to reproduce in a less casual, chaotic environment.
It is this chaos of random facts that twitter reproduces and that makes it fascinating. In the public realm, the volume of twitters is almost intoxicating. As a mechanism to maintain the connectivity of random personal interactions, Twitter looks like a very attractive tool for organizations that are spread around geographically.
Unfortunately, despite all its potential, there are two possibly fatal flaws in Twitter.
As I said before, I can't Twitter. It is the same personality deficit which makes me hang back and not talk a lot during parties or at large group luncheons. I listen, I observe, but I tend to be much quieter than I am in one-on-one interactions (which is why I can IM but not Twitter). If I am not alone in this affliction, Twitter may only be useful to a certain personality type -- significantly reducing its potential usefulness as a group collaboration tool.
Despite its simplicity and ease of use, the twitters themselves have a techie feel that makes them look as cryptic as an IRC channel. The use of special characters and Twitter-specific references (to the posting application) puts off novices and occasional users. For example (picked at random):
@snbeach thanks! @Digimom ah, no, we had them remove the clothes before they delivered it. about 2 hours ago from Snitter in reply to snbeach
Twitter is still in its infancy. The technical/presentation issues might be addressed as the service evolves. However, the social hurdles will be harder if not impossible to overcome. But daydreaming just a little bit, if someone could mix the intimacy of IM with the social context of twitter (and the ease of use of both), they might just come up with the next new killer app...

The radiative decay D(1285)..-->..phi..gamma.. is studied in the potential mode. In the potential energy we introduce a term that explicitly violates the Okubo--Zweig--Iizuka rule; the magnitude of this term is chosen so as to explain the observed decay width. From the calculation performed in the potential model and from the measured widths of the decays D..-->..phi..gamma.., D..--> gamma gamma..*, and E(1420)..--> gamma gamma..* it follows that the value of the mixing angle is ..cap alpha..approx. =-25/sup 0/. The widths of the decays D..--> omega gamma.., E..--> omega gamma.., and E..-->..phi..gamma.. are calculated.

Love it or hate it, Interstate 35 is a presence that is difficult to ignore. As part of America's major interstate highway system, I-35 has left an indelible impact on the city of Waco, prompting dramatic shifts in Waco's economy, neighborhoods, and aesthetic landscape.
While construction on I-35 did not start until 1957, the beginnings of this interstate system trace back to 1919 when Dwight D. Eisenhower, then a young lieutenant colonel, took part in a cross-country military convoy. The sixty-two-day haul covered 3,242 miles of dirt roads, ditches, and all-but-impassable terrain and convinced Eisenhower of the need for federal investment in building and maintaining adequate roads. The future politician's plan for a national highway system crystalized after he observed the German Autobahn system while stationed in Europe during World War II. In 1956, President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act. The proposed interstate highway system, he argued, would create thousands of jobs, make roads safer and routes more efficient, and allow for quick transport of people and resources in the wake of a nuclear attack. The act allowed for the construction of a 41,000-mile system of highways and earmarked $26 billion in federal aid to cover 90 percent of construction costs, to which individual states were expected to contribute the remaining amount.
One such stretch of highway was the proposed Interstate 35, which would run from Texas to Minnesota, passing through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa along the way. The commission appointed to oversee construction through Waco aimed to take into consideration the effect that highway placement would have on the city's future growth and prosperity. While some lobbied for the building up of the pre-existing route on La Salle Avenue, the commission settled on a mid-city route for the interstate. Many believed that this mid-city route would rejuvenate property values along the thoroughfare, an appealing idea as downtown Waco still reeled from the destructive tornado that tore through the area in May 1953. Planners hoped the $17 million mid-city expressway would alleviate traffic congestion as the straightest route from Potts Interchange-now the intersection of Waco Drive and Highway 77-to Waco's traffic circle. One local newspaper hailed the "graceful expanse" as "a sight to the eyes of every traffic-harried motorist who journeys north to Dallas or South to San Antonio."
The mid-city route, however, would displace many homes and businesses along the proposed path. The Texas Highway Commission began informing residents and business owners in the interstate's path of the upcoming construction plans. Not all were pleased. While the city provided affected residents and businesses with the funds to relocate, the new highway veritably erased several historic neighborhoods and disrupted deep-rooted communities.
Construction of I-35 officially began in South Waco in 1962, when building crews began the first of eight sections. The work of planning, staging, and construction, however, stretched on for several years. The subsequent seven sections were offered to independent contractors and were completed incrementally until construction finally ceased in 1972. Together, the eight contracts totaled a sum of $24,906,000. Initially, experts predicted that the new I-35 would see 68,000 vehicles a day by 1975. While the number of cars per day would later rise, the number hovered around 60,000 during the interstate's first decade, in part due to rising gas prices during the 1970s. Today, the portion of I-35 just north of Waco's traffic circle carries 138,689 cars per day.
New plans to widen the eight-mile stretch of I-35 within Loop 340 are currently slated to begin in 2019. Although the interstate has brought significant change to the communities along its path, I-35's perennial construction has proven to be a constant for Central Texas drivers since the highway's inception.
Relocation Project: : When it became evident that construction would require the demolition of the Earle-Napier-Kinnard House, one of Waco's most historic homes, citizens successfully lobbied to have the path slightly shifted. Most residents and businesses, however, had no choice but to relocate.
New Roads, New Laws: : Just as national road improvement lagged behind America's adoption of the automobile, automobile-related laws came into effect slowly and unevenly. At the time that the Federal-Aid Highway Act was passed in 1956, it had been only two years since South Dakota had become the final state to require drivers to possess a license.
Early I-35: : Upon completion of the interstate, the city began the process of selling property along highway once right-of-way had been purchased from the federal government. Several years passed before a string of fast-food restaurants and the like dotted the interstate access roads. In this photo, Baylor University is visible from the Fourth Street overpass looking east.
Highways and Byways: : The final segment of I-35 opened in Minnesota in 1992. Traffic on I-35 greatly increased with the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The interstate has since served as the primary north/south route for large trucks transporting goods between the participating countries. Here, an aerial photograph facing north toward Bellmead shows I-35 under construction, as well as what was once Highways 81, 84, and 77. ~ Source: Waco Tribune-Herald, Waco, Texas, 14 June 1959, page 7.
Before the Interstate:: Texas Highway Commissioner Jack Kultgen was instrumental in securing the Texas Highway Commission's approval of the interstate's route through the city. The section of the freeway running through Waco was promptly named after Kultgen upon completion. This aerial photograph, looking westward from LaSalle Avenue (in the foreground) depicts Waco before the advent of I-35.

Home Article FOR FETUSES ONLY.
FOR FETUSES ONLY.
by Ann Friedman
If you're outside the womb, forget the support of the National Right to Life Committee. The group won't lend its support to the S-CHIP bill.Initially, they wouldn't sign on to the legislation because it included coverage for pregnant women, not for fetuses specifically. (As if fetuses exist separately from pregnant women...) But with that provision stripped, NRLC still won't support S-CHIP. Anti-abortion Democrats aren't pleased, and sent a letter to the group telling them so. But the NRLC legislative director explained,
"There's nothing there [in the SCHIP bill] for us to really grab onto."
"They had their chance to put something in there for the pro-life community, and they batted it down."
Because there's nothing for the "pro-life" community in a bill that protects children's health. They clearly have zero interest in that.--Ann Friedman

Carrie Prejean Defends Sex Tape
by Free Britney at November 6, 2009 9:24 am . Updated at February 7, 2015 9:36 pm .
Okay, not really. This is obviously a complete joke, but it's a funny one, and one that may not be stretching the truth all that much if you think about it.
Wednesday, we told you about the Carrie Prejean sex tape, which resulted in the settlement of the beauty queen's lawsuit with Miss California officials.
Basically, she dropped her demands for $1 million approximately one nanosecond after they revealed they found a sex tape of hers - and showed her.
In the spoof below, a faux Carrie comments for the first time on the shocking video, saying that, hey, at least it's a heterosexual sex tape. Yay, God!

Description EN
The Rockwood Woolen Mill was established in 1867 by brothers John Richard, Thomas, and Joseph Harris, and their brother-in-law Thomas Wetherald. The firm advertised in publications in nearby cities such as Guelph, Milton, and Georgetown. The business thrived. Over the years, the mill was powered by the water of the Eramosa River, hydro, and steam.
In the 1880s, a fire harshly damaged the mill. It was replaced by a stone structure in 1884. One of the founding brothers, John Richard Harris, died in 1899; as a result, his sons took over the business. During the First World War, the mill would frequently operate 24 hours a day, securing vast orders for Canadian army blankets. The mill closed its doors in 1931, in the midst of the Great Depression
After the closure of the mill, William Harris, son of John Richard, transformed the site into a private park named Hi-Pot-Lo Park. In 1959 the Grand River Conservation Authority obtained the mill and land from Harris, and the official opening of the park took place in 1963.
A large restoration of the mill ruins was completed over the winter of 2010, allowing it to be open to the public for the 2011 season.

CANEX Receives High Resolution Airborne Magnetic Results from the Gold Range Property, Arizona
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / January 16, 2020 / CANEX Metals Inc. (TSXV:CANX) ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received results from a high-resolution drone magnetic survey conducted at the Company's Gold Range Property, Arizona.
A 394-line kilometre drone magnetic survey was flown at Gold Range in December by Pioneer Aerial Surveys Ltd. A GEM Systems GSMP-35UA (Potassium vapor) magnetometer was used with a 50 metre line spacing and at an altitude of 40 metres above ground. Survey results show excellent resolution and are helping CANEX understand the complex structural framework of the area and make key observation on the controls of several known mineralized zones. Positive magnetic results have prompted the Company to commission additional drone magnetic surveying over two priority targets to obtain increased resolution and positioning. This additional surveying is scheduled to commence shortly.
Highlights of the Magnetic Survey
Multiple large-scale structures have been identified in multiple orientations.
The Adit Shear Zone has been traced through magnetics and surface work for over 5 kilometres of strike length and contains multiple zones of mineralization along it with new targets identified.
The Pit Zone is located at the southern end of the Adit Shear Zone near the intersection of two major fault systems.
A prominent magnetic low is directly associated with known mineralization at the Pit Zone and greatly expands the size potential of the target to an area at least 450 long by 130 metres wide.
Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, "The new magnetic data is proving to be very useful for identifying major faults through the area, putting known high-grade gold zones into a structural context, and identifying new and untested target areas. We plan to use this data, along with our growing mapping and geochemical data sets, to help focus work on targets showing potential for scale. We look forward to getting a field crew on the ground shortly to prospect, map, and sample new target areas".
Preliminary examples of three select magnetic features and targets are available here. Finalized magnetic maps will be posted on the Company's website after all additional surveying and interpretation is complete.
Page 2 – January 16, 2020
In December detailed sampling was conducted at the Pit Zone and at several other targets on the Gold Range property. Over 100 rock samples and over 400 soil samples were collected and submitted for assay, with results pending. These will be released once they are received and evaluated.
Near-term plans for additional field work at Gold Range will be finalized once assays have been received and targets from airborne magnetics have been prioritized. The Company has filed an appended exploration permit application with the Bureau of Land Management to allow for an expanded trenching and drilling program to include several new targets recently identified on the property. Once the amended permit has been received a second trenching program is anticipated.
About the Gold Range Property
The Gold Range Property is located in Northern Arizona within an area that has seen historic lode and placer gold production but limited systematic modern lode gold exploration. Fieldwork by the Company has identified numerous gold exploration targets on the property with grab samples from outcropping quartz veins returning multiple values in the 20 to 40 g/t gold range, and chip sampling returning values of 28.1 g/t gold over 1 metre and 8.47 g/t gold over 5.6 metres.
