Much like the Installer.app application used to install unofficial iPhone applications, official iPhone applications will be delivered wirelessly to the iPhone via "App Store," a new program that will be added to the iPhone in the next software update.
All of the hosting, credit card transactions, etc. will be handled by Apple.
Developers will be able to set whatever price they want for applications, but Apple will take a 30% cut of revenues.
There will also be a mechanism to download applications onto your computer then transfer them.
For free applications, there will be no charge to the developer.
Software development kit for the iPhone is available to developers today as a free download (the iPhone Dev site is currently down for maintenance). Joining the iPhone developer program — which will provide technical support, code testing and allow distribution through the "App Store" — costs $99.
The iPhone 2.0 software update — which allows end-users to run iPhone applications and includes a bevy of enterprise-related enhancements, including Exchange support — will be released as a free update in June.


The diamond-encrusted band is a dazzling complement to the star's huge engagement ring.
The couple announced their engagement last spring.
Lea Michele enjoyed every bit of a tropical paradise for her bachelorette party.
Hilary Duff, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd and more attended the soiree.
Michele revealed she and boyfriend Zandy Reich had gotten engaged over the weekend.
The "Glee" alum posted a mushy Instagram message to her beau for making this past year the best one of her life.


I am so beyond hurt and mad. I am gay and was raised Mormon. I was happy and in love, possibly with my soulmate, but she decided she has to prove her love and obedience to God and live by the Law of Chastity (and all of the Mormon) rules. In a timespan of only two hours, she went from telling me not to worry and how happy she was and then following an interview with her bishop, she tells me she has to go back to church fully and completely.
Why would the Spirit be that strong, strong enough for her to believe that our relationship was wrong and she needs to be alone and celibate for the rest of her life? I just can't wrap my head around it or accept that an all-loving God would make us gay then tell us that we have to remain alone our entire lives to prove our love and obedience to him.
I know we all have trials but this one seems unreasonable and just cruel. She was mad at God and didn't pray for 4 years, while I did. I still prayed every day, and I still do. We were happy when she wasn't praying, but the day she starts praying again and has an interview with her bishop she is taken from me. Why? It makes me feel that I was just a test or trial from Satan that she failed. Our being together seemed like fate. But how can we get opposing answers to our prayers about our relationship? It just doesn't make sense. I am truly heartbroken on so many levels. I am not going to remain single and celibate and I can't be with her.
I have been in a similar situation recently. The woman I initially became friends with and later became my girlfriend, after 2 years of being together broke it off with me.
She was my twin flame and our connection was unnervingly natural. For the whole 2 years she went to church every week and watched general conference. She did abstain from taking the sacrament and attending the temple too.
I really couldn't wrap my head around continued church attendance either. Our whole relationship was during the time when practicing gays were considered apostates.
At 40 years old I was her first everything. She also never told her family or friends what the significance of our relationship was. And I'm the kind of person who believes it's not my place to tell someone's story for them.
It was beautiful in a lot of ways, and in other ways harder than I realized. I have a lot of gratitude for the time we had together. I was reminded of the possibilities in life. I was crushed when she said she was holding me back and and that I deserved more, when at the time I wanted all of that with her.
It sucked. I did a lot of ugly crying. I grieved. Eventually I forced myself to start dating again just to get out of my comfort zone. I met some interesting people who after a few dates ghosted me. I met one woman who was pretty crazy. And then, defeated I met my now girlfriend who is a million times a better fit for me and my life.
I wouldn't have met my current girlfriend without my prior one breaking it off with me. I still wonder how my ex is doing (we don't talk anymore because she was still in love with me and torn between love and religion). I still hope that someday, maybe decades from now even, she'll fully accept, love, and embrace who she is and spend some of her years with another love.
I firmly believe that we are made for love and that "God" doesn't make mistakes. Me being lesbian isn't a mistake. It serves a greater purpose to embody love in all it's forms. I am love, and I am designed to learn in relationships.
I promise someday, you'll be alright. For now, feel as you go and honor where you are. Darkness is often the space of faith and creation. You will eventually grow brighter from the experiences. Please know, you are not alone. You are loved unconditionally simply because you exist.
And if you want a supportive tribe, there's a great LBGTQ & allies healing group every 2nd Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at Awaken Wellness in Ogden.
Thanks so much for your story and your words!

"We want Able Blacks":
The British East India Company's African Slave Trade
HistRevAdmin April 6, 2018 January 30, 2019 Blog
Ela Hefler
Davidson College class of 2017.
The air was crisp as Hugh Bennet, boatswain's mate, stepped onto the top deck of the Delaware.[1] It was almost half six, and the sun was just breaking over the horizon. The temperature had been falling gradually since they first landed at Madagascar more than a month prior. Bennet watched the yawl and longboat pull away, loaded with provisions for the men on shore. Little did Bennet know, he would not be alive to see the two boats return. Below his feet, the sixty-one enslaved Africans in the Delaware's hold were plotting a revolt. In less than three hours, they would break out of the hold, throwing the ship into chaos. By the time the chief mate could sound the alarm Bennet would be dead; at least five slaves and three other crew members would also perish before the rebellion could be subdued.
The Delaware was not the typical slaver, nor was Hugh Bennet the typical slave trader. He was an employee of the British East India Company engaged in the trans-Oceanic slave trade. Unlike millions of slaves carried on Royal African Company ships, the Delaware's slaves were not bound for a plantation in the Americas. Instead, they were destined for the west coast of Sumatra on the far side of the Indian Ocean. Bennet and his crewmates were part of the East India Company's elaborate and specialized slaving system, and yet their stories have been left out of the historiographies on the East India Company, European slave trading, and the Indian Ocean. Drawing on Company correspondence, consultation books, ships logs, ledgers and laws, I argue that the East India Company was a slave trading company, and that, like the companies trading human cargo, it developed a set of formal policies to reduce the high cost and risk associated with its trade. The East India Company should be recognized as a slave trading company because African slaves played a vital role in both the Company's trade and its rise to become a colonial power in the nineteenth century.
Most scholars of African slavery, including Marcus Rediker, Herbert Klein and Stephanie Smallwood, focus exclusively on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Edward Alpers calls this the "tyranny of the Atlantic": how scholarship on the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and "Atlantic world" more broadly, has become so hegemonic as to draw attention and resources away from other studies of slavery, leaving fields like Indian Ocean history barren.[2] But the East India Company was no less a slave trading company than the Royal African Company. In fact, throughout the years they overlapped in operation, the two British companies shared personnel, coastal infrastructure, and even occasionally traded with each other.[3] The East India Company held a monopoly on all trade along the Guinea coast, including slaves, from 1657 until 1663 when the newly chartered Royal African Company took control of the trade and forts along the coast.[4] The West African trade was vital to restarting the East India Company's economic activity and freeing the factories at Surat, Madras, and Bengal from debt.[5] West African slaves, purchased during the monopoly period, were also vital to the Company's success in settling St. Helena – a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean, 1200 miles off the coast of Angola, which served as a key port to enable the Company's Indian Ocean trade. Captain John Dutton, the island's first governor, was instructed to purchase "5 or 6 Blacks or Negroes[, all] able men and women," from St. Iago in the Cape Verde Islands on his first voyage to begin settling the uninhabited island.[6] As historiography and popular memory has built up the image of the East India Company as the "Honorable Company," they have erased the African slave trade at the Company's roots.[7]
The East India Company's slave trade remained very small compared to the volume of both the British Atlantic slave trade and to other nations' Indian Ocean slave trades.[8] Richard Allen estimates that from 1622 to 1772, the East India Company traded between 2,773 and 3,304 African slaves.[9] By comparison, the Royal African Company and British interlopers traded more than 1.9 million African slaves during the same period. Although for some readers, the East India Company's comparatively low trade numbers may appear as grounds to dismiss its trade as insignificant, these numbers actually reflect and reinforce the East India Company's dependence on slave labor and the degree to which slave trading was integrated into the Company's broader trading network and policies.

Strategic Reductions in Risk and Cost
Part of what made the East India Company's slave trade different from the Royal African Company's was the size of the East India Company's slave cargos. Between 1622 and 1772, the average slave-carrying East India Company ship held only 47 slaves.[10] For the Royal African Company, the average slave cargo was much larger, with 299 slaves embarking and 241 disembarking.[11] In the Atlantic, where slave ships only carried human cargo, the sale of 47 slaves could not generate enough profit to cover the costs of the trans-oceanic slaving voyage.[12] The East India Company managed to sustain what otherwise would have been an economically unviable trade in human cargo by grafting its slave trade onto its established networks for shipping cloth, spices, tea and handicrafts. Slaves were not the primary cargo on most slave-carrying East India Company vessels, nor was their transport often the primary purpose of the voyage. Small slave deliveries, by way of mixed-cargo slave ships, helped the Company reduce the high overhead costs associated with the slave trade. Mixed-cargo trade and its associated benefits were possible because the Company was responding to its own internal demand for slave labor, drawing a profit not from the sale of slaves, but rather from their productive capacity within the company-state. The Company's only profit from the slave trade came from its slaves' productivity as a labor force.
Smaller slave cargos helped the East India Company reduce the risk and sunk cost inherent to large-scale slave trading. Although the slave trade could be lucrative business – in the Atlantic, the average rate of profit for investors was about nine percent – slaving voyages were still extremely expensive endeavors.[13] They carried both higher risk and higher fixed costs than other voyages because they required adaptations to the ship, larger crews, and, particularly during wartime, higher wages.[14] Most vessels used by Europeans to transport slaves in both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean trades were not initially built for that purpose, and thus had to be modified to securely carry human cargo.[15] One of the most common features of a slave ship was a 10-foot wooden bulkhead, which bisected the ship and served to separate the male slaves from female slaves.[16] The bulkhead could also help the crew secure a strong defensive position in the event of a slave insurrection.[17] Modifications like the bulkhead were not as necessary for small numbers of slaves in mixed-cargo holds because the risk of insurrection was far lower. Avoiding modifications helped lower the overhead costs for slave-carrying Company ships, and served as an incentive to the Company to pursue mixed-cargo trade. On one occasion in 1670, the Company ordered a group of four ships sailing together – the Unicorn, the John and Martha, the Satisfaction, and the John and Margaret – to purchase forty slaves from St. Iago in the Cape Verde Islands.[18] While all of the ships were bound for the same destinations, the captains were instructed to divide the slaves evenly between the four ships. With only 10 slaves on board the ships would not have needed modifications, like a bulkhead, to secure the human cargo.
Because carrying fewer slaves on board decreased the risk of insurrection, Company ships could sail with smaller crews, while maintaining comparable ratios of crew members to slaves. In Atlantic slave trade, the size of a ship's crew was typically twice that of a comparably-sized merchant vessel.[19] The costs associated with maintaining large crew aboard a slave ship could account for up to 18 percent the voyage's total costs. Smaller slave cargos, therefore, helped the Company sustain a consistent, economically viable trade in slaves.[20]
Smaller, integrated slave cargos also allowed East India Company ships to spend less time at port waiting for their holds to be filled. More than just improving the efficiency of the voyage, reducing time at port decreased the ship's risk of attack. During wartime, European ships became collateral targets, and they were particularly vulnerable while at anchor. In 1709, the Company directors warned the governor at St. Helena that "[d]uring the Warr [sic] we can't supply you with Blacks from Madagascar."[21] The risk of attack was significant enough that the Company directors required captains to "keep a Shott or piece of Lead fasten'd to each [letter packet]," so that they could sink all the "Packets reciev'd from Us or for Us to prev[en]t the Enemys knowing their Contents."[22]
Maximizing Efficiency Though Slave Transfers
The East India Company's mixed-cargo slave trade was unique in that not all of the slaves were purchased by Company – many were born into slavery at the Company's holdings and then transferred to another fort. When the Company directors in London received a request from their agents for slaves they would look first to the slaves the Company already owned, seeking to transfer them to fill the requesting agent's needs. The exchange of Company slaves between holdings was a fundamental part of the East India Company's slave trade strategy. Based on Richard Allen's estimates, as many as one third of the slaves on board East India Company ships were transfers – a significant proportion considering transfer requests were consistently smaller than purchase requests. Between 1639 and 1787, the Company authorized a minimum of 77 transfer voyages, involving at least 1040 slaves.[23]
Transfers were possible and efficient because, like the mixed-cargo slave trade, the Company grafted transfers onto its existing trading networks.[24] If the directors felt a transfer was needed, they would assign it to the next ship passing both ports, which helped keep costs low and voyage lengths shorter. While the Delaware's primary purpose was the purchase and transfer of Malagasy slaves to Fort St. David in India, Captain Donicus also "received on board 35 woman slaves and 2 Children D[itto] belonging to the Hono[rab]le Company," in Madras, "to be transported to Benc[oolen]."[25] Because the Delaware already needed to pass through both Madras and Bencoolen to execute her primary objective, the transfer of thirty-seven slaves did not add any additional sunk costs. The only cost to the company was to compensate Captain Donicus for his efforts. Captains were paid per slave, usually at a rate of four pounds, which was the same rate at which captains carried passengers.[26]
Slave transfers allowed the Company to rearrange its unfree labor force, which meant it could further benefit from the specialized skills and knowledge of English culture that its slaves had developed. Such rearrangements were particularly valuable at St. Helena where the Company regularly experimented with new crops and goods, trying to maximize the island's productivity and value. In the first five years that the Company held St. Helena it sent multiple requests to its agents at Surat asking that they send indigo seeds and slaves who "hath knowledge of how to sow it and afterward to work it to perfection and adviseth [the] Governor of St. Helena of the particulars."[27] Environmental and diplomatic factors made Bencoolen, the Company's primary fort on the island of Sumatra, a particularly precarious location for Company employees, which further increased the value of having experienced slaves. Company letters routinely describe the fort at Bencoolen as a "sickly" and "fever infested" place, which sent Englishmen "to their everlasting homes."[28] In 1687, when the Company sent English-speaking slaves from St. Helena to Bencoolen, it noted, "we would have you principally to employ in attending and administering to our sick soldiers."[29] Given the vulnerable position of the sick soldiers and the Company's fears about African spirituality and healing practices, it seems unlikely that the directors would have trusted newly purchased slaves to this task.[30] While slave transfers kept the Company's aggregate trade numbers low, they demonstrate the vital role that slavery played in the Company's ability to control territory and generate profit.
A Company Dependant on Slavery
Slaves were so central to the Company's day-to-day operations that both the Company's directors and its agents abroad had specific expectations for the skills and traits that made a slave valuable. Much to the Company directors' frustration, their agents would use the Company's transfer policy to manage the slave population at their forts. When St. Helena had surplus labor and the Company demanded a slave transfer to Bencoolen, the governors would choose slaves they deemed less desirable, often women and young children. In December 1705, Company directors criticized the governor at St. Helena after a slave transfer, writing, "common prudence would have dictated to any reasonable man that if those girls were of no value at St. Helena they would not be of more at Bencoolen and therefore there was no reason to be at the charge of 4£ per head to send them thither[. W]e want able Blacks not children there."[31] Eventually, after significant, sustained resistance from the island's governors, the Company directors changed their transfer policy. In 1733, they wrote to St. Helena that they would no longer "draught blacks" from the island, having deciding instead to send the Hertford to procure 200 Malagasy slaves for their Sumatran settlements. The directors added, "We don't doubt [this] will be very agreeable to you as in the Letters now before Us such heavy Complaints are made of the Draughts upon you."[32]
Despite the additional cost and risk, as in the case of the Hertford, the company did occasionally choose to commission a captain to purchase a full cargo of slaves. Large-scale slave shipments were most common between the 1730s and the 1750s, after the Company changed its policies on slave transfers.[33] When a fort requested a significant number of slaves, sometimes a single voyage was more efficient than a series of smaller voyages. Full-cargo slave shipments allowed the Company to maintain large labor and defensive forces at its forts, despite high mortality rates for both free and enslaved populations. Between 1751 and 1753, the Company commissioned three full-cargo slaving voyages to deliver three hundred, five hundred, and six hundred slaves respectively.[34] In each of these cases, however, the captains struggled to meet the Company's full requests. In 1741, Henry Watts of the Swift wrote in his journal, if a ship "comes in May or June and lay[s at Madagascar] two or three months they ought [to] get 100 or 150/60 [slaves] maybe more."[35] While supply and demand factors kept the number of slaves aboard East India Company ships lower than those of the Royal African Company, the Company directors' readiness to commission full-cargo slave voyages demonstrates both the Company's dependence on slavery, and the directors' commitment to using even traditional slave trading methods – with all the associated violence and carnage – if it would help in meeting the Company's profit objectives.
In the seventeenth century, the East India Company moved only 2.2 to 3.4 percent of the slaves traded in the Indian Ocean by Europeans. In the eighteenth century, the Company's proportion was even lower, representing between 1.4 and 1.7 percent of the Indian Ocean trade.[36] The East India Company was not the largest of the slave trading companies, but it was no less a slaving company. Slaves played a central role in the company structure and profit mechanisms, and had a significant impact on the Company's overall business model. Aggregate trade numbers mask the fundamental role slavery played in the growth and profits of the company-state, particularly at St. Helena. In 1661, two years after the Company's first voyage to settle the island, St. Helena had a population of fifty-three people, twenty-one of whom were slaves.[37] By the 1720s, slaves represented more than fifty percent of St. Helena's population, which numbered close to 1000 individuals. Just like the companies that moved larger volumes of slaves, the British East India Company was intentional and systematic in how it sought and handled human cargo – grafting slaves trade into its existing trade networks and commissioning larger slave cargos when necessary. Recognizing the East India Company as a slave trading company is vital to fulling understanding the Company's history, and its impact on the Indian and south Atlantic Oceans.

In Popular Fiction: Battle of Ramree Island
Posted on 29 November 2013. Tags: 1945, Battle of Ramree Island, Books, Ramree Island, Video Game, WW2, WWII
The infamous Battle of Ramree Island has inspired many novels and even a scene from a video game. Here we summarize some of the more popular media which references the events on the strategically important Burmese island.
Dragon of the Mangroves: Inspired by True Events of World War II
Author: Yasuyuki Kasai
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Mangroves-Inspired-Events-World/dp/0595390269
Synopsis: It was no time to fear animals when the possibility of the enemy counteroffensive was increasing. It didn't suit a soldier to lose nerve in the presence of a mere crocodile At the end of World War II, a garrison of the Twenty-eighth Japanese Army is deployed to Ramree Island, off the coast of Burma, to fight the Allies' severe counteroffensive. While on the island, Superior Private Minoru Kasuga questions a local villager about the terrible smell coming from the saltwater creek. To his horror, the old man tells him it is the stench of death from the breath of man-eating crocodiles that inhabit Myinkhon Creek. Fierce fighting drives the battalion to the island's east coast, and they must evacuate to Burma by crossing the creek. Just before they embark, Kasuga smells the same putrid odor that he'd questioned the villager about and warns his commanding officer of the underwater danger. His sergeant ignores him, thinking Kasuga is obsessed with wild stories from the villagers, and he tells the soldiers to cross the creek.Ordered to save the penned-in garrison, Second Lieutenant Yoshihisa Sumi arrives on Ramree Island. But what awaits him at Myinkhon Creek is a sight too horrible to contemplate.
Sunset On Ramree
Author: Robert Appleton
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Sunset-On-Ramree-Robert-Appleton/dp/1926704274
Synopsis: It is the deadliest crocodile attack ever recorded. On February 19th, 1945, one thousand Japanese soldiers retreated into the fetid mangrove swamps of Ramree Island hoping to escape their British enemy. However they soon discovered that the sixteen kilometre stretch of marshland that promised to offer safe cover, had delivered them straight into the jaws of hell. Inspired by true events during WWII, Sunset on Ramree follows young musician-turned-soldier Shigeatsu Nakadai and his best friend, Kodi, as they head ever deeper into danger.
The Mangroves
Author: John L. Campbell
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Mangroves-John-L-Campbell/dp/1477595694
Synopsis: Based upon actual events. In February, 1945, the Japanese garrison on Ramree Island began a retreat to mainland Burma under heavy British fire. Poorly equipped and on foot, one thousand men of the 121st Imperial Infantry Regiment marched into a massive mangrove swamp, and into the jaws of a nightmare. Days later, only twenty soldiers emerged alive. Lt. Shoji Kichida, a young man weary of battle and longing for home, is about to learn there are horrors worse than war, as he leads his men into what has become known as the greatest crocodile massacre in recorded history.
The Burma Campaign: Disaster into Triumph, 1942-45
Author: Frank McLynn
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Burma-Campaign-Disaster-Military/dp/0300171625
Synopsis: This book, in essence a quadruple biography, tells the story of the four larger-than-life Allied commanders whose lives collided in the Burma campaign, one of the most punishing and protracted military adventures of World War II. Ranging from 1942, when the British suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the Empire, through the crucial battles of Imphal and Kohima ("the Stalingrad of the East"), and on to ultimate victory in 1945, this account is vivid, brutal, and enthralling.
Frank McLynn opens a new window on the Burma Campaign, focusing on the interactions and antagonisms of its principal players: William Slim, the brilliant general commanding the British 14th Army; Orde Wingate, the ambitious and idiosyncratic commander of the Chindits, a British force of irregulars; Louis Mountbatten, one of Churchill's favorites, overpromoted to the position of Supreme Commander, S.E. Asia; and Joseph Stilwell ("Vinegar Joe"), a hard-line U.S. general, also a martinet and Anglophobe. McLynn draws careful portraits of each of these men, neglecting neither strengths nor flaws, and shows with new clarity how the plans, designs, and strategies of generals and politicians were translated into a hideous reality for soldiers on the ground.
The Jungle, Japanese and the British Commonwealth Armies at War, 1941-45
Author: Tim Moreman
Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Jungle-Japanese-British-Commonwealth-1941-45/dp/0714649708
Synopsis: This book focuses on the British Commonwealth armies in SE Asia and the SW Pacific during the Second World War, which, following the disastrous Malayan and Burma campaigns, had to hurriedly re-train, re-equip and re-organise their demoralised troops to fight a conventional jungle war against the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). British, Indian and Australian troops faced formidable problems conducting operations across inaccessible, rugged and jungle-covered mountains on the borders of Burma, in New Guinea and on the islands of the SW Pacific. Yet within a remarkably short time they adapted to the exigencies of conventional jungle warfare and later inflicted shattering defeats on the Japanese.
This study will trace how the military effectiveness of the Australian Army and the last great imperial British Army in SE Asia was so dramatically transformed, with particular attention to the two key factors of tactical doctrine and specialised training in jungle warfare. It will closely examine how lessons were learnt and passed on between the British, Indian and Australian armies. The book will also briefly cover the various changes in military organisation, medical support and equipment introduced by the military authorities in SE Asia and Australia, as well as covering the techniques evolved to deliver effective air support to ground troops. To demonstrate the importance of these changes, the battlefield performance of imperial troops in such contrasting operations as the First Arakan Campaign, fighting along the Kokoda Trail and the defeat of the IJA at Imphal and Kohima will be described in detail.

The other night we had a family get-together. Over dinner we discussed the good fortunes of a niece/cousin who won $250K from the lottery. "She's so lucky, I'll bet her life is a lot easier now…" one person said. Always the Devil's advocate, I disagreed. "Does she still have to work? Does she still have to take care of the kids every day? Does she still have to clean the house? If she still has all of the same responsibilities, how is her life any easier?" I asked.
"Yeah, but most people can't quit their job over a couple hundred thousand dollars. Well, maybe some do… if they use it to start their own business. But most of the self employed folks I know work more, not less. Plus, they have to worry about insurance. That doesn't sound easier to me." I replied.
"Well I wouldn't turn it down" my fellow conversant replied.
The point I was trying to drive home, and failed, was that we too often confuse luxuries as necessities. The average American replaces their car less than every five years. My family has traveled to New England for vacation almost every year. Many (perhaps most) Americans have mobile phone service in addition to home phone service, cable TV, DVD players, and sneakers produced with more R&D than Eddison put into his light-bulb – or the Wright brothers put into their plane (actually I just made that up, but I wouldn't be surprised). In that $250K buys you a new car, pays off your house, funds a few more vacations, or provides some financial security… there's no question it's really (really) nice. But does it make life easier?
All right, I'll concede that I may have taken my argument too far. Heck, if two-hundred and fifty large dropped in my lap I'd be down right giddy. Plus, there's something to be said for not having to worry about some things.
This morning I picked up the next book in my queue: Sick, by Jonathan Cohn . It's the story of the health insurance system in the U.S.A. – specifically: how it's broken, how it got to be that way, and who it has victimized. So far I've read the stories of three middle to upper-middle class families who were victims of our current system. One common theme for these stories was a certain amount of fear. They knew they didn't have healthcare coverage, they wanted it, they couldn't get it, and they feared the consequences (this was before they got sick and found out what those consequences really were). Perhaps fear is too strong a word, but it was on their minds. They were concerned, if not a little worried. Personally, I'd be worried if I didn't have health insurance. It's one of the reasons I've alluded to which makes government employ so attractive (to me). I've had my share of struggles with my insurance company; some of which has been described here, but by and large healthcare is one less thing I've got to worry about.
I thought back to my dinnertime conversation last night. I thought about needs versus wants, and I wondered what life would be like if more people didn't have to worry about certain needs. What is it like to live in a country where (presumably) no one has to worry about health insurance? What is it like when no one has to worry about trading a week or two of grocery money for a single visit to the doctor? What is it like when people generally don't have to worry that they're one hospital stay away from financial ruin?
I wonder if, controlling for all other variables (if that's possible), people who live in countries with universal coverage are generally happier? How many people in the U.S. stay at jobs they don't like because of their health insurance? How many people would be doing the work they loved, rather than the work that happened to come with low insurance premiums, under a universal coverage system? How would that effect overall productivity in the economy? How would that effect the quality of goods produced or services provided if they were born of passion rather than necessity? If people were happier, how would this effect outbreaks of violence, or crime rates? With potentially fewer financial worries (re: 40 million Americans with no coverage of any kind), what would happen to divorce rates? Would we all get along a little better? Perhaps I'm being a bit naive, but it seems like this could have a HUGE impact on a society – potentially for the better (much better).
Even if such a system was more expensive (and I'm not convinced it is), and even if some rationing of care occurred, isn't it possible that these other (possible) positive effects – combined with more (relatively cheap) preventative care would make Americans (as a whole) healthier? To me, this is how we really could make everyone's lives easier – not to mention better… much better.

What is camp really about?
Well, there are lots of different answers.
Some will say friendship, and certainly we know of some wonderful friendships formed on camps which have lasted and blossomed over the years, benefitting not only the campers but also the churches to which they belong.
Some will say fun. Well, we certainly do have fun, with something to suit all who have a sense of adventure. Whether it is kayaking, gorge walking, raft building, wide games, bivouacking, table tennis, football, volleyball, camp concerts, tent life, tent inspection, washing up, trips to the coast or even shopping, there is something for everyone. There are optional extras including rock climbing, paint-balling, pony trekking etc. Please bring extra pocket money for these.
Whilst friendship and fun are really important, at the heart of camp is a person, Jesus Christ. He makes camp special in so many ways but especially as His gospel is taught and explained in the morning services and tent Bible studies.
The aim of the camps is the presentation of the Christian faith to young people in the context of a safe & healthy outdoor camp environment.
Safety and a wholesome environment for campers is paramount. For this reason the teams will be led by experienced leaders and where possible a husband and wife team. Quite often this means that camp life will be enhanced by the presence of young children on site.
The programme varies a bit between the different camps, but will include Bible teaching and/or a tent Bible study every day.

5 Essex Court
One phrase crops up repeatedly when describing the work at civil law chambers 5 Essex Court ― "high-profile". The set is particularly well known for its police law work, which throws up a range of fascinating issues, and also specialises in public inquiries, inquests, employment, public and administrative law, and personal injury and clinical negligence.
With more than 40 barristers including five QCs, this London set aims to recruit two pupils each year and offers the chance to get stuck in to interesting cases from the off. One barrister tells us: "I'm a junior member of chambers but regularly get instructed in cases that make national and international headlines. The areas of law we are working in are at the forefront of public debate. I am constantly involved in cases that make new law."
In recent years juniors in chambers have appeared in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, the Anthony Grainger Inquiry, the Renewable Heat Incentive Inquiry, the Undercover Policing Inquiry, the Al Sweady Inquiry, the Baha Mousa Inquiry, the Leveson Inquiry and the Hillsborough Inquests. As one barrister puts it: "Our work is often in the news, which is exciting. It combines great human interest with some really interesting law ― often novel arguments are pursued in claims against our clients."
A sample clutch of recent cases includes a historic ruling in Jersey Employment Tribunal on the meaning of 'disability', a landmark appeal regarding confidentiality of information provided by refugees, and the first case to consider the use of facial recognition technology by the police. 5 Essex Court silks have appeared in a case of alleged misfeasance in public office after a murder trial collapsed, and in the case of Harry Dunn, who died following a collision with Anne Sacoolas, who then cited diplomatic immunity. One junior says: "I can honestly say in the nearly three years I've been in chambers, I've never worked on a boring case!"
Former pupils are particularly complimentary about the chambers' "fantastic" in-house advocacy training course, where pupils benefit from the tuition of "Inner Temple advocacy guru" Master Alastair Hodge. Pupil supervisors are "dedicated and generous with their time". In-house seminars and lectures where more senior members of chambers pass on their knowledge to all members and regular informal chats mean "the training in chambers never stops".
Members praise the set's "open-door" policy, which continued (metaphorically, at least) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is quite a feat that one former pupil, who had to complete his second six remotely, "still felt included, assisted, and looked after". A tenant, forced to cancel their wedding due to the pandemic, was sent a gift by chambers to boost their morale during a difficult time, and says: "Even in lockdown, it is easy to call anyone in chambers and ask for help if needed." Another barrister explains how "even now, in times of COVID, we regularly bounce ideas off each other on email or WhatsApp".
Style-wise, the Temple-based chambers are "gloriously Dickensian", although they have "excellent video conferencing facilities". What's more, there's a far from stuffy atmosphere. The head of chambers, no less, makes tea for everyone on Fridays, although, during the pandemic, this tradition moved online with chambers tea via Zoom.
What The Junior Barristers Say
"There's no pomp and circumstance" at 5 Essex Court, says John Goss, who studied law as a postgrad at Nottingham Law School after serving as a Royal Engineer officer in the British Army for six years, some of which was spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having turned his energies to training for the bar, Goss joined 5 Essex Court as a pupil in 2015. "It's a genuinely unstuffy, open and informal chambers," he adds.
This is despite the fact that the work is high profile and not for the faint-hearted. In the second four months of his pupillage, Goss was working on one of the inquests to come out of four deaths at the Army's Deepcut barracks in Camberley in the late 1990s. "I would do a first draft of something and then my supervisor, Francesca Whitelaw, would look at it. So at a very early stage, I had a real sense of contributing to what chambers was doing," he recalls.
Goss says that the chambers provides particularly broad-based advocacy training: "For a civil set, 5 Essex Court has plenty of opportunity for court exposure. For instance, we do inquests and these are very different from civil courts because they often have a jury where the police are involved. There are plenty of opportunities to really examine evidence. Because they are neither purely civil nor criminal courts, it's quite an unusual experience."
5 Essex Court's bread and butter work at the junior end is police law work, in Magistrates' Courts and Crown Courts representing police forces on operational orders such as anti-social behaviour injunctions or cash forfeitures. "Often you are the only one in court who knows much about the applications," says Goss. Plus sometimes you get to feel that you have made a difference to peoples' lives: "I did a recent closure order for the police where they were applying to extend the closure of a space that had been used for drug dealing. I had statements from residents who were saying how amazing it was to have it closed."
In case that is not training enough, 5 Essex Court is lucky to have Alastair Hodge who teaches advocacy and is an Honorary Professor at Nottingham Law School: "There is no formal training course but we all take a bit of time out during pupillage to do sessions with him and get some feedback from a real master," says Goss. In addition, there are talks from various members of chambers.
Mentoring is done informally: "We are a small, very friendly set so all the juniors are talking to each other pretty much all of the time, and pupils are very much part of that: it is a rare day that I wouldn't talk to another junior about something. And this goes all the way 'up' the chambers. I would not hesitate to talk to our seniors too."
Alongside the advocacy experience, Goss has built up drafting, advising and research skills along the way. In his third seat, with Jason Beer QC as his supervisor, he was helping Beer on public law work often "going through evidence finding lines for cross examination."
Goss's first case was doing minicab licence renewals where Transport for London had decided not to renew a driver's minicab licence: "It was coalface experience: you have to do closing submissions, you have to be able to think on your feet," he remembers.
Now Goss, whose first degree was in classics at Cambridge University, from where he graduated in 2006, is working on another Deepcut inquest, this time on the death of Sean Benton whose family has reopened the matter.
So what advice would he give to someone who wanted to apply for pupillage at 5 Essex Court? "You must have a good understanding of the sort of work we do and demonstrate that you would be really interested in doing our type of work," he responds. "Yes it's police law but it's not only police law, we do central government work, there is a real range. Also, it's the defendant side of public law and you need to understand that you have to be sensitive to client's needs and appreciate the statutory duties they are under".
And PS: "We publish a report from each pupillage application round which tells us what we are looking for, and what were some of the good answers. For us this is about transparency. We do not want anyone to have an innate advantage: anyone can apply. So make sure you read the material — it's really useful."

Cinema Quarantino, Film, Film Review
REVIEW: Bacurau (2019) dir. Kleber Mendonça Filho & Juliano Dornelles
Now available to rent via Coolidge Virtual Cinema
by Oscar Goff
One of the interesting things about living through These Times is observing how people and small businesses adapt to survive. Restaurants, for example, are offering newly configured takeout options, while shops offer online sales and free shipping. Few operations, however, are placed in as tricky a predicament as independent movie theaters, whose entire model is based around packing strangers into an enclosed space to share a communal experience. Nevertheless, these institutions (which, it should go without saying, are indescribably important to the city's cultural landscape and must be preserved) are finding new and exciting ways to interact with their audiences and stay afloat. In addition to public drives for donations, memberships, and gift card sales (jump to the bottom of this article to see how you can help), the Brattle is starting up their own podcast and curating series to stream along at home, while the Capitol Theatre in Arlington is hosting a drive-through popcorn pop-up. Perhaps most exciting, however, is the Coolidge's newly launched virtual screening room, which allows you to digitally rent new release films which would be playing at the theater, with a portion of your rental fee going directly to the theater. The service kicked off this past Wednesday with the indie dramedy Saint Frances and the cockeyed mycology documentary Fantastic Fungi. Today, the Coolidge adds another new release, which should satisfy those currently jonesing for the Coolidge's beloved After Midnight series: the humane, outrageous, and bracingly relevant Bacurau.
Bacurau is a tiny, remote village located deep in the mountains of Brazil. It's a tight-knit, if slightly hard-edged, town, its only contacts with the world at large being occasional deliveries from sympathetic outsiders and useless campaign stops by local gladhanding politician Tony Junior. Following the death of local matriarch Carmelita, however, the villagers begin noticing a series of odd occurrences: cell phones stop working, the town quietly disappears off of Google Maps, and what appears for all the world to be a tiny flying saucer is spotted flitting around the peripheries. Soon, the town is beset by a squad of white mercenaries (led by Udo Kier, whose presence has served as shorthand for "shit's gonna get weird" for over half a century) who use only vintage firearms and approach mass murder as something akin to big game hunting. But the citizens of Bacurau have a handful of secrets of their own up their sleeves, leading to a showdown that no one could have seen coming.
While it feels crass to suggest that a film's release could benefit from a global pandemic, it does feel fortuitous that Bacurau comes to us in this particular moment of socio-economic chaos. Take, for example, the scenes in which the buffoonish Tony Junior wheels into town to deliver school books (unceremoniously unloaded via dump truck) and medicine (which, the local doctor patiently explains, is barely superior to snake oil). When the townspeople (who refuse to leave their houses to avoid photo ops) curse him out for refusing to reinstate their water supply, he blithely demurs that his hands are tied, then gets back into his motorcade. It's a moment that feels so specifically relevant to the mess we currently find ourselves in that one could probably be convinced it was a direct response, even though that would obviously be impossible. Like Jordan Peele, whose Get Out was shot in 2016 and released in the early months of the Trump presidency, directors Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles show such a keen eye for humanity that their film's vitality has only increased. Good satire speaks directly to its times; great satire maintains that feeling no matter when you watch it.
But there's more to Bacurau than political theatrics. For much of its first act, Bacurau is positively low key, presented as a slice of life among the residents of Bacurau. Most memorable is town doctor Dominga (played by Kiss of the Spider Woman's Sônia Braga), a notorious local eccentric who drunkenly crashes funerals, helpfully lends beds to sex workers, and, by all appearances, holds the town together by sheer force of will. But the rest of the villagers are just as appealing: the guitar player who cheerfully serenades tourists while insulting them to their faces; the DJ who serves as town crier and Greek chorus through his portable PA; kindly city doctor Teresa, who brings badly needed (real) medicine when she comes to visit her father; low-level thug Pacote, who senses before anyone that foul deeds are afoot. If the film never left this mode, it would still be a perfectly satisfying slice of world cinema.
But of course, Filho and Dornelles are playing a longer, stranger game; not for nothing is the town schoolhouse named "Ecole Municipal de João Carpenteiro." Bacurau isn't quite a horror movie– I'll let you know in advance that the flying saucer is actually a drone– but it owes more than a little debt to any number of grimy genre niches, from spaghetti westerns and gangland operas to Italian cannibal shockers and revenge sagas. Once the gloves come off– and they come off so fast you almost miss it– Bacurau pulls no punches, and is every bit as gnarly as any of its influences. Credit, again, is due to Filho and Dornelles, who make their blend of genres and styles look so easy that you scarcely notice they're doing it.
Is Bacurau a rough watch? At times, sure: there's a handful of genuinely shocking moments that may make you wince, or avert your eyes, or perhaps even wonder if you want to keep going. These are difficult times, after all, and I understand if your state is fragile enough at the moment that you'd rather avoid films that turn an unflinching eye toward man's inhumanity to man. But believe me when I say that, rather than coming off as punishing, Bacurau is as funny, furious, and exhilaratingly alive as any film of the past five years. It's fitting that Bacurau premiered (and won the Jury Prize) at the same Cannes festival where Parasite won the Palme d'Or; the two share a sense of righteous anger and comic anarchy, and leave you with a similar sense of wanting to fuck shit up in the best possible way. Combined, the two make a compelling argument for world cinema as the new punk rock. As I write this, it's anyone's guess how many new films see the light of day in 2020 at all, but even if we manage to get a bumper crop, I'm fairly certain Bacurau will remain one of my favorites.

I just couldn't resist making one last Creepmas card.
And it seems fitting that it features an Oddball Art Stamp image.
I colored this little puppy/deer using Copic markers.
on foam dots to give some depth between the frame and the image.
Lastly, I used one of my favorite products of the year, Nuvo drops.
but that might be enough for now.
This is going to do it for me for 2018.
so it's not a completely cruel joke.
it the very best that I can.
Wishing you all a great 2019!
Labels: 2018, creepmas, Creepy Cute Chronicles, Hexmas, Lizzy Love, Oddball Art Stamp Co.
2 1/2 hours of 'The House That Jack Built', starring Matt Dillon as a serial killer.
overall a total snooze fest. Then there's 'Mandy", starring Nicolas Cage.
I was left thinking and audibly asking, "WTF did I just watch?".
Makes me give 'The Nun' another star.
Which brings that total up to three stars now.
Doesn't this just make you all warm and fuzzy inside?
image from Inked Artist/Hellgnome Death Digis .
I used Copic markers for my coloring of the snowman.
I just can't seem to use anything else to color with these days.
blood splatter. This guy looks kind of messy, so I splattered him as well.
Dylusions sprays also. These reds are perfect for blood splatter.
on the snowman and his festive sign.
for my photo shoot. I like it.
Hope everyone had a magnificent Creepmas!!
And all the best for 2019!!
I'm back again with what will be my last post for 2018.
I can't think of a better way to go out than with an Oddball Xmas!!
I have had a great time guest designing for Lizzy at Oddball Art Co.
like this simple, yet perfect holiday image from CCC#27.
some snowflakes, and some white Nuvo drops.
This is one of two images in this set of versatile digis #339.
I paired this one with a simple gold embossed sentiment and gold pearls.
The vibrant Copic coloring really pops against the black.
sentiment, and silver pearls and rhinestones for accents.
the jar in digi set #447. I added their names onto the tags as well.
black cardstock for stability and contrast, and strung them with baker's twine.
I used a white gel pen to add the "To: and From:" on the back of each tag.
It is going to be an Oddball Xmas, indeed!
Thanks for stopping by today and all year long.
Hope to be a bit more present with my art in the new year.
Happy Holidaze and Happy New Year!!
I'm back again guest designing for Oddball Art Stamps this month!
I'm sharing a project today that is totally new for me.
First off, it requires NO coloring. Yup, I said it. No coloring at all.
I have used the adorable and beautifully vibrant, pre-colored bottle cap art found here.
and make a few Christmas gifts, I decided to give it a go.
I began by printing out the bottle cap art and punching out the owls with a 1" circle punch.
lacquer as you will see in a minute.
only using the owls faces.
I added holes to the small caps with my piercing tool and a hammer.
I added various glitters and sparkly stuff to the images for sparkle and interest.
Lots of tweezer action happening here.
Lastly, I added 3D laquer to the caps to seal in all that gorgeousness.
much less laquer and got a smoother finish, which I prefer.
Once dry, I added some ridiculously strong magnets onto the backs.
more use out of magnets.
and added a rhinestone charm. More bling never hurts, right?
where it looks like a totally different image.
Left one is using photo paper, right one is copy paper.
My son says the bleached ones look, "vintage". Let's go with that.
All the caps together for a group shot.
Thanks so much for visiting me this week.
I'll be back next Saturday with another concoction to share.
What the actual Hell Gnome?!
Back again with another make using some Hellgnome Death Digis.
This little dude is the Angry Hellgnome image.
He reminds me of my father in law.
using Copic markers. Always my coloring medium of choice.
I fussy cut out the little angry dude, and mounted him onto the Bone Cross background.
I added black mattes to everything, and popped on some black Nuvo drops.
The answer to the question posed on the front.
The sentiment is from Hambo stamps. I love their two part sentiments.
Okay, that's going to do it for me today.
the Hellgnome line of images at Inked Artist Avenue.
First off, I began by creating my own galaxy background using Distress Oxide inks.
to create the idea of a galaxy.
I layered the background onto some black card stock creating a framed look.
with the Rocket and Meteor image.
I fussy cut everybody out, and removed the meteor from the spaceship entirely.
at using masks to do this with rubber stamps, but find it easy to do this way.
Nuvo glitter drops in silver moondust.
Kept it super simple this time.
I'll be back soon with another Hellgnome project to share.
image from Hellgnome Death Digis.
My friend, Stephanie thought I'd dig these images for some strange reason.
And she was so right! These aren't your run of the mill all occasion images.
Unless you're like me and like to create weird stuff all of the time.
This image is called, Skull Monster.
If it's not in the shop, it will be very soon.
I colored this bad boy up with Copics and matted it onto silver card stock.
an entire image. Probably won't do that too often.
Finally, I added the word, 'SEEK' and this dog is ready to hunt.
and Instagram pages for inspiration and group shenanigans.
Oddball Art Stamps for this glorious month of October.

Research led by The Ottawa Hospital could help people with cancer avoid life-threatening blood clots
Harold Black (middle) suffered a life-threatening blood clot soon after being diagnosed with cancer. He survived the clot and today, people like Harold have a much better chance of avoiding blood clots, thanks to research led by Dr. Philip Wells (left) and Dr. Marc Carrier (right) at The Ottawa Hospital.
As a regular member of a church choir, Harold Black was used to standing and singing for long periods. But in September 2018, he had trouble catching his breath while singing in the congregation. Two days later he went to The Ottawa Hospital's emergency department and was quickly diagnosed with a life-threatening blood clot in his lung, called a pulmonary embolism. The doctors also found a serious clot in his leg.
"It was a scary experience, but I feel very lucky because I was told that the first sign of a pulmonary embolism is often death," said Harold, 76.
Harold had two days of intensive treatment and monitoring at The Ottawa Hospital. The clots have now cleared up, but he continues to take daily shots in his belly to prevent new ones.
Blood clots can occur in anyone, but they are particularly common in people with cancer, like Harold. In fact, blood clots are the second-leading cause of death in people with cancer, tied with infections.
"Cancer itself may increase the risk of blood clots, but chemotherapy, surgery and other factors can contribute as well," explained Dr. Marc Carrier, who treated Harold's blood clots at The Ottawa Hospital.
This problem inspired Dr. Carrier and fellow blood clot specialist Dr. Philip Wells to design a clinical trial to see if a low dose of a blood thinner pill could prevent blood clots in people newly diagnosed with cancer. The results, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, are now changing practice around the world.
The study included 563 people newly diagnosed with cancer who had a higher risk of developing blood clots (based on blood test results and other clinical factors). Half received a blood thinner pill twice a day and half received a placebo. Those who received a placebo were more than twice as likely to develop blood clots compared to those who received the blood thinner (10.2 percent with placebo compared to 4.2 percent with the blood thinner).
"Blood thinners are commonly used to prevent blood clots in other high-risk groups, but the traditional thinking has been that these drugs would cause too much bleeding in people with cancer," said Dr. Carrier, who is also a senior scientist at The Ottawa Hospital and associate professor at the University of Ottawa. "Our study shows that if you select the right patients and use a relatively low dose of a certain blood thinner, the benefits easily outweigh the risks."
With about 1.9 million people diagnosed with cancer every year in Canada and the U.S., the researchers estimate that about half, or 950,000 could be considered for the blood clot prevention strategy tested in the study. In this population, the strategy would be expected to prevent clots in six percent, or 57,000 people.
"Blood clots are not only life-threatening, but they can also cause pain, reduce quality of life and can be expensive to treat," said Dr. Wells, who is also senior scientist and Chief of Medicine at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa. "We expect that this study will change practice and help many people with cancer avoid blood clots."
Black continues his cancer treatment, but he is back to singing in his church choir.
"If this research prevents people like me from developing blood clots, that will make a big difference for a lot of people," he said.
The blood clot (thrombosis) program at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa is the largest and the most research-intensive in the world. With four publications in the New England Journal of Medicine since 2015, their research is transforming lives both in Ottawa and around the world.
"I want to thank the outstanding physicians, nurses, research coordinators and other members of our thrombosis team," said Dr. Wells. "But above all, I want to thank our patients for participating in our research and helping us improve care for them and others around the world."

Earlier this week we showed you the first details of the brand new Patek Philippe 5990A, which is the new Nautilus chronograph with travel time functionality. Now we're back to show you the photos from when we went hands-on with this supremely functional and incredibly slick modern Nautilus. Here are your live pictures and details.
I'll begin by saying the 5980 was never my favorite Patek. It was nice, sure, and one of the few great in-house self-winding chronograph movements on the planet, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not sure why exactly, perhaps it was my vintage snobbery after (at one point) owning an original Nautilus Reference 3700 – it just didn't have the same sleekness on the wrist. Obviously, how could it? It's a modern, water-resistant chronograph, instead of a 40-year-old, time-only guy.
You see the left side of the case? Where you'd normally have the top half of the multi-part case that juts out, you actually have to two expertly concealed pushers. These pushers control the second timezone hand – the top button advances the hand, the bottom brings it back. But what makes this so interesting is that these buttons look as though they are really part of the original Nautilus case design, unlike say what you see on the 5164A I looked at here, where the buttons are clearly afterthoughts to the Aquanaut case design.
This post was first published by HODINKEE : Hands-On The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph Travel Time 5990A Thank you very much !

David H. Crumb
Town of Parma and Village of Hilton
David Crumb was born in Hilton and grew up in the village during his early years. At age 8 he moved with his family to a farm on Curtis Road where he lived until his graduation from Hilton Central School. Following graduation from high school he went to Florida State University where he graduated with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. From there he went to Michigan State University where he earned a Masters of Business Administration.
His professional career began in Marshall, Michigan with Win Schuler Restaurants. He later moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana where he was General Manager of the Marriott Hotel there. By 1981 he was back in Rochester as General Manager of the Marriott in Greece, N.Y. With his wife, Mari, and three children he was able to purchase the farm that he grew up on and still continues to reside there.
A later career move brought him to Rochester Institute of Technology where he became a tenured professor in the Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management. During his years in academia he had the privilege of teaching on many occasions in R.I.T.s sister school in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This was perhaps his most memorable career experience.
Always interested and connected with history, and especially the history of his native community Hilton and Parma, he stayed in touch with his older relatives and their friends and gained a deep perspective on the early history of the area. He was able collect and acquire many old photographs, documents and other artifacts pertinent to the early days of Hilton. In 2008 with the retirement of the then current historian, Mary Townsend, he was appointed Village of Hilton Historian. In 2014 he was appointed Town of Parma Historian.
He enjoys working will all people interested in the communities' history, and his office is open on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. He can also be reached by e-mail at historian@hiltonny.org.
James A Hard
The Nation's Last Surviving Union Combat Veteran
James Hard was born on July 15, 1841 in Victor, New York. When he died on March 12, 1953 in Rochester at the age of 111 several months shy of his 112th birthday he was the oldest Union combat veteran of the Civil War.
In the 1940s and 1950's Hard was a social luminary. He rode in every Memorial Day and 4th of July Parade in Monroe County and attended many public events. His activities were chronicled in the local papers religiously. He was a well-known individual to everyone. In 1951 David Crumb caught a glimpse of him in a local parade and never forgot the moment.
Fast forward some sixty years and David Crumb found Mr. Hard's full-page obituary, which he then saved. Soon after, he had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hard's great great grandson, a Parma resident, who provided him with many of the old veteran's photographs, medals and other mementos.
Shortly thereafter, a story was written for the local paper, and subsequently a program was developed for the Parma Hilton Historical Society. Since that time the program has been delivered to over twelve county organizations. At one event, over ten of Mr. Hard's descendants were in attendance.
Hard, an interesting study, whose recipe for longevity was "don't worry too much and smoke plenty of cigars" was in over twelve major battles in the Civil War and later became a pension attorney in Rochester. His life story should not be forgotten.

It is important to know when you put in the time to exercise, it will improve other areas of life and give you forward momentum. It is time spent that is worth it, because the benefits of it, like decreased stress and better memory will make other areas of life easier, like studying more effectively, which will save time and make the time in the gym worth it.

"It is NOT a cure"
Okay, so all the scientific research into brain functions when exercise is introduced aren't accurate? You even state in this video that it's proven to prevent it.
People if you're reading this comment, don't just watch this one video and believe it all, increase your research into how the brain works.
I'm really pissed off that this video has given people with depression and anxiety a glimmer of hope and a way out to then only say "IT ISNT A CURE SO DONT GET YOUR HOPES UP". That's a real middle finger to those people by the way.

Chapter 40: A Vague Figure
Jiang Yun was not a stranger to death, nor was he afraid of it. Without his grandpa, he had already died 16 years ago and now he earned more day after day.
Even though he felt the threat of death many times on Mang Mountain, there was no fear on his face, only some regret and guilt.
It was a pity that he would never have the chance to see his grandpa again, he felt guilty that he failed to protect Lu XiaoYu well, and also failed to live up to his grandpa's expectations.
He was so disdained to even speak up, he just stared at Fang YuXuan coldly, waiting for Fang YuXuan's finger to pierce his throat.
Although the people at the square could not hear what was being said in the golden light, they could clearly see what was happening inside. This scene made everyone shake. Was Fang YuXuan going to kill Jiang Yun?
In most people's opinion, Fang YuXuan might just want to scare Jiang Yun. After all, Jiang Yun and Fang RuoLin were not deadly enemies.
Especially up to now, those elder peak lords did not show up, which apparently explained that they were to assume that Fang YuXuan would not kill Jiang Yun. Otherwise, they would show up and stop it.
"Kill him, kill him!"
However, the hateful Fang RuoLin kept whispering in her mouth. Of course, she hoped that her brother would kill Jiang Yun because she lost her face with that slap.
Just as Jiang Yun was waiting for his death, an old voice suddenly came from afar, "Nephew Fang, please show mercy!"
Unexpectedly, someone asked for Jiang Yun's favor, which made everyone turn their head to look in the direction of the voice.
The voice came from Beasts Peak.
"Is this the voice of an elder?"
"It must be sympathy for Jiang Yun, so he asked for a favor."
Someone in the crowd suddenly understood, but Fang RuoLin's face changed abruptly when she heard the voice. Because she knew that the owner of the voice was the one who secretly kept an eye on Lu XiaoYu.
Fang YuXuan's eyes slightly narrowed and though the fingers placed on Jiang Yun's throat did not continue to move forward, he also did not withdraw them. The old voice rang out again, "Nephew Fang, you should be easy on people. For this thing, it is better to stop here. You and I shall not pursue it anymore!"
There was a cold flash that went through Fang YuXuan's eyes, as he knew who the voice was coming from and what he meant.
The other side would not hold Fang RuoLin accountable for cheating Lu XiaoYu out of the sect in exchange for Jiang Yun's life.
After pondering for a while, Fang YuXuan smiled a little as the golden light that covered him and Jiang Yun immediately disappeared without a trace, as he also said loudly, "Since the Elder Sha opened his mouth to beg for mercy, then as a disciple, I naturally should do as you want."
While speaking, Fang YuXuan had slowly taken back his fingers, and when everyone thought he was really ready to let Jiang Yun go, Fang YuXuan's words suddenly changed, "However, just now he slapped RuoLin. Though it is not punishable by death, I shall take away his hand as a punishment."
When his voice fell, Fang YuXuan's fingers suddenly changed direction, and he pointed at Jiang Yun's right hand.
His fingers were like a sword, once it attacked, Jiang Yun's right hand would definitely be completely destroyed and for a cultivator, the loss of a hand was almost equivalent to the destruction of their road for any future cultivation.
Everyone could not help but be surprised. Even in this situation where an elder had asked for a favor, Fang YuXuan unexpectedly still dared to attack. Wanting to destroy Jiang Yun's right hand, he was really bold.
Not to mention the disciples, even the grey-haired elder on Beasts Peak showed an expression of sudden anger on his wrinkled face.
But anger was useless. He knew Fang YuXuan had made up his mind to destroy Jiang Yun. This attack seemed ordinary, but it was actually a sword finger.
This time, however, the changes were coming again!
As Fang YuXuan pointed out, Jiang Yun, who stood still all the time also moved.
In his palm, there rose again a flame, which was very weak. But in the flame, there was a talisman that was fired.
The talisman was burning, the moment it turned into ashes, these ashes were mighty enough to cause the five peaks to shake as a vibration rang out.
This vibration changed into a vague figure, standing in front of Jiang Yun which blocked Fang YuXuan's upcoming finger.
At the same time, when the figure appeared, a middle-aged woman who was moving through the jungle stopped suddenly. She frowned and said, "Jiang Yun is in trouble!"
"What do you mean?" In front of the middle-aged woman, a young man also stopped, turning back. He was DongFang Bo.
"I don't know, he just lit the talisman I gave him!"
DongFang Bo frowned and said, "He should currently be taking part in the retest. Is there something that he can't handle?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "I don't know! However, since he has lit up the talisman, it will keep him safe for a while. Let us seize the time, I am afraid that third brother will be in a more dangerous situation later!"
"Okay!" DongFang Bo nodded and the two stopped talking, as they continued to cross through the jungle, disappearing in a flash.
At the Seeking-Tao Sect, with the appearance of this blurred figure, Fang YuXuan, who smiled always finally had on a different expression. Not only did he immediately take back the finger that was about to attack, but also like lightning, he moved back, trying to pull apart from the figure.
Just as he stepped back, there was also a strong pressure on his body. Under this pressure, he felt like he was under a sharp sword.
While above his head, there was a real sword. All golden, as if made of gold. Looking sharp as if it could tear the air apart.
Only in this way, it seemed, could he possibly contend with the terrifying pressure of the shadowy figure.
This change of up and down naturally caused a majority of the disciples at the square to be puzzled. They could feel at this moment that Fang YuXuan has clearly displayed all his strength, and with this momentum alone, he really worthy of being the number one disciple of the inner court!
This scene, of course, startled the lords of the five peaks. A number of figures flashed with such intensity as they were bound for the square, but just then, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in their ears, "You shall not move!"
