Tiffany & Company, a brief history:
The Tiffany dynasty was founded in 1837 at 259 Broadway in New York City by Charles Louis Tiffany and partner John B. Young.
It began not as a jewelry & silver emporium, but as a purveyor of stationery and fancy goods under the name Tiffany & Young. Although America was in a deep economic recession, the store soon acquired a respected name and flourished with its quality merchandise imported from Europe, India and the Orient.
In 1841, a new partner, J. L. Ellis joined the firm and the name changed to Tiffany, Young & Ellis. The first of the Tiffany 'Blue Book' catalogs appeared in 1845 and with it the first indications of silver merchandise carried; a small range of personal items and all, almost certainly, imported.
The firm expanded to larger quarters at 271 Broadway in 1847, the move enabled a significant increase in the retailing of silver and jewelry. It is here that American made silver finally took its place alongside the Tiffany name.
The goods were made mostly by New York City silversmiths and often bore their maker's marks, as well as the Tiffany retailer's mark.
1851 was an important year in the history of American silver, Tiffany, Young & Ellis, seeking to give their silver goods distinction, became the first American firm to introduce the use of the English Sterling (.925) standard in American made silver.
Deciding that they wanted more control, they contracted with the firm of John C. Moore, one the finest American holloware silversmithies, to produce exclusively for Tiffany's.
Both Young & Ellis retired in 1853, giving Charles Tiffany control of the firm, again he moved it to larger quarters at 550 Broadway and the name was changed to that which we know today, Tiffany & Company.
Over the next two decades, Tiffany worked closely with J. C. Moore and, increasingly with his son, Edward Chandler Moore, who had fully taken the reins of Moore concern in the 1860's. Together, the artist Moore and the businessman Tiffany, created many landmark pieces of American silver and spread the fame of Tiffany & Company silverware. In 1867, at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, Tiffany's became the first American firm to win an award for excellence in silver. Charles L. Tiffany made a landmark decision in 1868, he reached an agreement with Edward C. Moore and purchased the Moore firm. At this juncture, Tiffany & Company became a silver manufacturer as well as a silver retailer. For his part, Edward Moore became a Tiffany stockholder and the general manager of the silverware end of the business. His first important step was to expand production to include flatware manufacturing. In 1869 "Tiffany", the company's first flatware pattern, premiered and the firm moved to new and larger quarters on Union Square. Moore was a cultured man, an avid world traveler and collector of art and objects of the Near & Far East. As the Aesthetic Movement style became fashionable, his innovative nature and knowledge of Eastern art combined with his superlative design skills to bring Tiffany's to the forefront of American silver manufacturers.
Many of the finest Japanesque and Moorish Revival objects ever created, including major presentation pieces, were made by Tiffany & Company at this time.
By the time of Edward Moore's death in 1891, Tiffany & Co. had won major awards at successive European and American Expositions and had become the most internationally respected American silver manufacturer. The founder, Charles L. Tiffany passed on in 1902, leaving a legacy based on sound business judgement and goods of exceptional quality.
Tiffany & Company moved to its present quarters at 5th Avenue & 57th Street in 1940 and remained in the hands of the Tiffany & Moore families until 1955.


Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat's backing unconditional talks with Taliban in war-torn Afghanistan has triggered quick reactions from former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday, stressing that if we can talk with Taliban then why was the centre adopting different standards in Kashmir.
Speaking at the Raisana Dialogue 2019, which is a multilateral conference on international policy matters; General Rawat had on Wednesday morning backed talks with the Taliban in war-torn Afghanistan, and called for international curbs on regular and social media to counter radicalisation.
Omar tweeted, "We bat for talks with taliban, autonomy for Tibet & Tamil areas of Sri Lanka yet we are unwilling to look at engagement or political initiatives in J&K. Why is our policy all about 'do as we say, don't do as we do'? Engagement for Taliban, Operation All-Out for Kashmir".
The PDP chief, Mehbooba Mufti, also pressed for dialogue with Pakistan and Hurriyat leadership. She took to her tweeter handle saying, "If the Army Chief can advocate for talks with Taliban then why different standards when it comes to our own people? Accept peace offer from Pakistan, initiate dialogue with Hurriyat and other stakeholders, put an end to the vicious cycle of violence in J&K".

"When Other Folks Give Up Theirs…" Black Freedom and the Gun Control Debate
Akinyele Umoja
Contrary to Congressman John Lewis' revision of history, "the notion that the Civil Rights movement was exclusively nonviolent is a popular mythology." In fact, "Some members of Lewis's Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee picked up weapons and worked with community people to defend their lives against white terrorists."
"Gun control for Black activists must be an issue of self-determination, self-reliance and self-defense."
The recent debate concerning gun control is complex, particularly as it relates to African descendants in the United States. As almost every other issue in the US, the race dimensions of gun control cannot be dismissed. Slave-holding society fought to prevent enslaved Africans access to weapons to resist and increase potential for insurrection. After emancipation, Blacks sought arms not only to hunt, but to protect themselves from white supremacist terror. Gun ownership was associated with citizenship and liberty and as a means to protect those principles. The segregationists continued slave-holding society's practice of attempting to disarm Blacks. Ultimately, Blacks utilized armed self-defense to protect activist leadership and their communities from white terrorist violence. It was a rite of passage for rural Black families taught children to use arms as a means of survival; for food and for protection. Black female youth were trained to shoot for defense from white rapists.
I have the utmost respect for Congressman John Lewis due to the sacrifice he made during the Civil Rights movement in the Deep South. In responding to those opposing President Obama's gun control proposal's Congressman Lewis offers that he and his colleagues in the Civil Rights movement, "… believed the only way to achieve peaceful ends was through peaceful means. We took a stand against an unjust system, and we decided to use this faith as our shield and the power of compassion as our defense."
"Blacks utilized armed self-defense to protect activist leadership and their communities from white terrorist violence."
The notion that the Civil Rights movement was exclusively nonviolent is a popular mythology. In dozens of Southern communities Black people picked up arms to defend themselves. In particular, Black people relied on armed self-defense in communities where Federal government officials failed to safeguard Movement activists and supporters from the violence of racists and segregationists, who were often supported by local law enforcement. Congressman Lewis statement is true for a small number of committed activists who engaged in civil disobedience and voter registration in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. These activists were often protected by grassroots Black people armed with shotguns and rifles. Some members of Lewis's Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee picked up weapons and worked with community people to defend their lives against white terrorists.
The post-Civil Rights and Black Power era brought a new dimension of this issue for Black communities. A crisis in Black families resulted from welfare policy and increased individualism and the decline of the manufacturing economy that employed significant numbers of Black males. The federal, state, and local "Cointelpro" assault on activist Black leaders, organizations, and institutions weakened solidarity and Black political consciousness in the 1970s. Black communities experienced a growth in gang activity and an influx of drugs in this period. The access to automatic weapons and assault rifles paralleled the crisis in Black communities. Increased access of weapons to the most criminalized and unstable elements of the Black community only accelerated the crisis. Unlike generations of youth who were trained by their elders to protect their families and communities from emancipation through the Civil Rights and Black Powers era, large numbers of Black youth were supplied weapons in the underground economy.
"Black people will never disarm in a political and social environment where Black life is still challenged and not valued."
As a youth growing up in Compton, California in the early 1970s, I heard a plethora of rumors of elements external to the Black community providing caches of military weapons that contributed to the fratricidal war between the Crips and the Bloods in Compton, Watts, and South Central LA. While this sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, it has been well documented that the FBI and local police agencies utilized "divide and conquer" tactics to incite fratricidal conflict between the Black Panther Party and the Us Organization in the same streets that the Crips and Bloods would inhabit a few years later. The dilemma of the criminal use of guns still poses a challenge in several urban and rural places today. This situation has motivated support for gun control in our communities.
Other politically and socially conscious elements challenge the gun control position based on the history of white supremacy in the US and the desire of racists to disarm Black communities. The growth of white supremacist and right-wing paramilitary formations and militias since the 2008 election of Barack Obama and the fatal shooting of young Trayvon Martin by a white civilian has done nothing to decrease the fear of white violence in the Black community. Several elements of the Black community recant the lyric of the late popular artist Gil Scott Heron, "when other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine."
Gun control for Black activists must be an issue of self-determination, self-reliance and self-defense. Black people will never disarm in a political and social environment wherJohne Black life is still challenged and not valued. The Black community must advocate for policies that take weapons out of the hands of unstable elements (e.g. checks for mental illness), but be vigilant to make sure these policies do are not utilized in a manner to weaken the capacity of our community to defend itself from white supremacists. At the same time, more solidarity and grassroots organization of Black communities is needed to gain control and socialization of unstable elements of our community. Cooperative economic projects to provide alternatives to those trapped in the drug economy. The fight for the decriminalization of drugs and quality and culturally relevant education for our youth is another pillar in the fight to bring community integrity and solidarity and a safer community back.

"I never thought I'd be in that position." Alex Nation on her confrontation with Richie.
Jessica Staveley
It was one of the most hyped up conversations in reality TV history.
After an unexplained breakup back in 2017, Australia would finally learn what actually happened between The Bachelor's Richie Strahan and Alex Nation.
In one of the very first episodes of Bachelor in Paradise, the former couple sat down together and had a long overdue conversation.
The episode, which promised an intense confrontation between Richie and Alex about their breakup, may not have revealed the "grubby details" Richie had hinted at when speaking to Osher as he entered Paradise, but regardless, the discussion left them both with some much needed closure.
Watch Richie and Alex confront each other on Bachelor in Paradise below. Post continues after video…
Speaking to Mamamia, Alex Nation opened up about what it was like speaking to Richie for the first time in over a year on national television.
"It was a bit awkward at first," Alex told Mamamia.
"I never thought that I'd be in that position. We didn't speak for a year and a half. We just stopped having contact with each other I suppose," she explained.
"My way of dealing with [the breakup] was to shut it off and just completely remove myself from the situation.
"That conversation that we did have with each other, it did need to happen. After having that conversation, I feel like I can get that closure that I needed – and I think he did too."
During their conversation, Richie and Alex spoke about how their long distance relationship had affected them both.
"I barely saw you. I needed to see you more," Alex said throughout the conversation, to which Richie argued that she had continued to "move the goalposts" and had barely visited him in Perth.
There's Only One Thing Wrong With Fleabag
"[You weren't there] when I needed you most – when I needed you – and you know what I'm talking about," Alex said.

Richie responded: "I know exactly what you're talking about, and what you're trying to say… [It was] completely out of my control."
"How is it out of your control to get on a plane and come and see me during a really personal time that involved both of us?" Alex questioned Richie.
Although neither Alex nor Richie directly said so, many viewers came to the conclusion that the discussion was potentially about an abortion.
But while some viewers asserted that the former couple's deeply personal conversation should never have been aired, Alex told Mamamia that she believes their conversation can have a positive impact.
"I actually went [into the conversation] thinking I wouldn't go down such a personal path but it kind of just came out like word vomit," Alex told Mamamia.
"I obviously didn't anticipate that conversation coming to light but I feel that it was obviously meant to," she added.
"There was kind of a feeling that it's such a personal thing for someone to discuss their private life, let alone it being broadcast on national television.
"I was quite nervous about it, but at the same time, it's one of those things where there are a lot of women out there that have gone through what I went through and I think I could be someone that they can relate to. I think that's a positive thing."

Q: SELECT user ranking on MySQL by an offset I'm trying to make a query in MySQL that returns me only 10 users from the table, but with a rank value that is the ORDER result of the xp column. Right now I have this:
SELECT id, xp, @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank
    FROM usuarios, (SELECT @curRank := 0) r
    ORDER BY xp DESC LIMIT 10;

It looks to be working perfectly when fetching the first 10 users.
+--------------------+------+------+
| id                 | xp   | rank |
+--------------------+------+------+
| 373901344995803138 | 5863 |    1 |
| 701198768049225770 | 5692 |    2 |
| 239203656405221376 | 4961 |    3 |
| 692489002942726154 | 4508 |    4 |
| 416988898628206593 | 3669 |    5 |
| 312003290378534912 | 3155 |    6 |
| 608344569381126167 | 3059 |    7 |
| 671949142473310238 | 3041 |    8 |
| 549743978191519744 | 2991 |    9 |
| 592440479577145383 | 2519 |   10 |
+--------------------+------+------+

But when I try to fetch for example LIMIT 10,10 to get the users between 11 and 20, although they are ordered, their global rank is incorrect because @curRank is not increasing for all the users before the offset.
+--------------------+------+------+
| id                 | xp   | rank |
+--------------------+------+------+
| 638196238436532234 | 1888 |    1 |
| 601269358349516833 | 1447 |    2 |
| 548357514497097743 | 1338 |    3 |
| 203591312031744000 | 1330 |    4 |
| 379034072519016469 | 1283 |    5 |
| 563804445654122497 | 1086 |    6 |
| 421296425981181952 | 1025 |    7 |
| 263816867100098560 |  850 |    8 |
| 631330775379214371 |  776 |    9 |
| 442529076511637504 |  702 |   10 |
+--------------------+------+------+

I don't know a way to make the global ranking work when using LIMIT.

A: In MySQL 8.0, just use window functions, as demonstrated by Gordon Linoff.
In earlier versions, you basically need a subquery to do what you want. I would recommend:
SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT id, xp, @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank
    FROM (SELECT * FROM usuarios ORDER BY xp DESC) u
    CROSS JOIN (SELECT @curRank := 0) r
    ORDER BY xp DESC
) t
ORDER BY xp DESC
LIMIT 10, 10;

The subquery ranks all users first, then you can safely filter in the outer query. Note that the query pre-orders the table by xp in a subquery first: this is safer (user variables are tricky in MySQL).
Actually, you don't even needLIMIT in the outer query; you can use a WHERE clause instead:
SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT id, xp, @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank
    FROM (SELECT * FROM usuarios ORDER BY xp DESC) u
    CROSS JOIN (SELECT @curRank := 0) r
    ORDER BY xp DESC
) t
WHERE rank BETWEEN 11 AND 20
ORDER BY rank

A: Instead, use row_number():
SELECT id, xp, row_number() over (order by cp desc) as rnk
FROM usuarios
ORDER BY xp DESC
LIMIT 10;

Web design continues to grow and several splendid things are published every year. It is time to wait for what the new trends will perhaps materialize in the year 2015. Before embarking on a new business website design, there are certain things that the designers should consider. Dimensions of the digital marketing and online business have undergone a great change and therefore, the focus is to provide improved user experience for lessening the bounce rate. Keeping such factors in mind, have a look at some of the web design trends that will be most effective in 2015.
You might have noticed that almost all the new business websites published presently are longer while scrolling the page. With mobile phones gaining more popularity these days, it has become the humdrum for the websites to choose "Scrolling" than linking for displaying contents specifically on the homepages. Hence, the users find it easy scrolling the page to get the information they need.
Many business websites are now vertically dividing the screen to give equal importance to two primary elements. Many businesses that have two things to promote at the same time are choosing split screen designs that allow them to give prominence to both. The users can select between them rapidly. However, this is not the only reason. Many businesses need conveying two most important aspects. For example, one part conveys their core strength (their primary product/service) and the other part shows their talented workforce. This paring with split screen helps in conveying the message clearly.
Putting large visual headers has also become a trend of web designing. This is the first thing that you see when you visit a website on top of the homepage or any other page. It could be a slider image, static image, animated image, video, or text image. These are visually trendy and convey the message of a business very strongly.
Many business websites prefer to hide navigation from the screen. Only when the user interacts with the element towards right or top left of the screen, it becomes visible.
Much like the hidden menus, business websites are also using ghost buttons. You have probably seen many action buttons unnecessarily distracting your attention while browsing through a business site. Adding ghost button in the design solves the purpose by grabbing your attention in a subtle manner.
Every business wants to delight their website visitors, and now you can do by using a innovative design with Micro UX. It not just makes your task easy, but creates an experience that is humane and engaging.
With all these trends pertaining to a website designing in 2015, check the sites of your competitors for new ideas and look for the areas wherein your site can be better. Ask your favorable website design company to make the changes in the website accordingly for a successful online business.
Thanks for the excellent blog! I looked at your predictions for top web design trends in 2015.
Hi there! I find your blog a very interesting read. I have to say that many website design companies are yet to adopt these ideas. I expect to stumble upon more write-ups like this, here.


Hollywood Reporter – Lisa Langseth's drama stars Vikander and Eva Green as estranged sisters who take a mysterious trip and face their complicated family history.
VIKANDER: I was so drawn to this portrait of these two extremely strong women and their relationship. They're so different and have chosen their paths in life, and yet they're so deeply connected because of their family bond. It's a relationship you're born into, and it is so deep. But the sisters, all their scenes have different levels of them trying to reach one another — as soon as the other person says something that annoys the other, they will be straight onto it. It's tricky with those nuances, but it was fun to explore.
LANGSETH: Me and Alicia, we're thinkers, we're rational. Our characters that Alicia's been playing have that similar problem — they're strong women who try to deal with their strong, unrational feelings. So that's a struggle we also had when we were on set — trying not to plan so much and just try to be completely emotional.
VIKANDER: Lisa and I sat down at a lovely lunch to catch up, and I had already for two or three years about maybe starting a production company one day with my business partner [Charles Collier]. I wanted to be part of the process as early as possible. Lisa mentioned that she was working on this story, and I really, really wanted to work with her again. I admire what she does and her work should get the chance to get a bigger audience, the audience that I think her work deserves. We discussed making the film in the English language to hopefully reach further, and right there and then, I felt that this could be a great start. Lisa was my first director who, in one way, took a chance on me, so even though there's a fear of stepping into something new, it was always filled with so much passion about the story. I was part of putting the team together and finding the finance, and we worked again with B-Reel Films [who also produced Hotel]. [Collier and I] found a way of finding both European funding and private equities to get our budgets, and worked together to finding everything from the set to the crew to the actors, and support Lisa as much as we could with her work leading up to starting filming.
LANGSETH: We met when we were both doing our first film, so the relationship is very special and honest. I appreciate that we can talk very openly about what we like or dislike — we can be free in the work, which I think is the biggest gift you can get as a director. And it's not always easy to make a film, but Alicia, who has been on so many sets, really understands how filmmaking goes and what you need to work. She helped me to bring the best out of the project all the way.
This is your third collaboration in less than ten years. What changes have you noticed?
LANGSETH: Alicia has so much more experience and self-confidence in her work. But personally, she's still the same person as when I met her the first time, and this fame hasn't gotten to her head. She's really handled it all in a good way. So when I direct, I do as we used to. That's a gift because when people change too much, it's hard to reach out. This honesty could disappear.
VIKANDER: I was 20 when I first met Lisa, and I looked up to her a lot. She was this headstrong woman who has read tons of books and had so many ideas and so much to say. That set a tone for the kind of woman that I want to continue to grow up to be. It was so fun to collaborate with Lisa again — it's like meeting up with an old friend that you miss. We were both extremely excited to start because it was a year of a lot of [prep] work, a lot of late, late nights and phone calls. Suddenly, we were on set and we're able to work together again after a beautiful seven-year pause. We've both gathered a lot more experience and have even more to work with, because as a filmmaker or an actor, our tools are really our experiences. We shot most of the film at this one extraordinary location in Germany, and the cast and crew became a very tight group.
Alicia, what are you looking to produce next?
VIKANDER: As with this film, it's hard to make independent films. A lot of things need to come together, and I've only opened this box. But I feel like I want to do more. I'm humbled to do what it takes to put one of these films together. I'm reading a lot, and working hard to find our next story. I feel extremely lucky because my first three films were with a female director, and since then I haven't really had that opportunity and was so happy to get the chance with Lisa again. I'm thrilled to know that the film is part of the Toronto Film Festival, where they have [one third of the films] with female directors this year. It's extremely exciting that things are moving forward.

It's pure marketing. Can't sell $50 Mews if you let people transfer the ones they got in Go for free.
This turned out to be really long, so here's a super short version. Long version below. 1. Started with Pokemon cards, then got really into Pokemon Silver. And other games, including spinoffs. 2. Ditched Pokemon games before gen 4 because I hated the DS. Sold stuff, replayed on emulators instead. Still liked Pokemon. 3. Got Soulsilver, a remake of my favorite game. Liked it a lot. Got back into Pokemon. 4. Got XY. Got obsessed with trading and breeding. 5. Got obsessed with legit/uncloned event collecting. 6. Got obsessed with moderating /r/pokemontrades. 7. Helped PP collect missing wondercards using my collection and other event collectors, since we need PP's wondercards for Porybox legality. 8. Present day: still event collecting, still moderating /r/pokemontrades. Also using the wondercard server and wcparse to share unreleased info of upcoming events.
Looks like they fixed everything.
I just edited. I'm still going through them. Basically, I downloaded the 4 most recent EU WCs, one for each version. Some of them match the US version. Others do not. After splitting them, I came up with the above conclusion, based on what WC will actually be received by each game. Check it out and see if you get what I got.
Not exactly. Some of the versions are identical, but others aren't. Right now, it seems to look like this (matching the filename to the actual appropriate WC for that game within its file): Moon: Legends 2018 Sun: 2018 Legends UM: 2018 Legends US: 2018 Legends Guess I'll hope they fix the rest.
"SID" doesn't really exist for event Pokemon like it used to, due to the gen 7 changes. If you look at the FID (full ID; combination of TID and SID), a pattern quickly emerges. It's one of two things: either WCID is placed in front of the intended ID No, or it isn't. The FID for these events is 20218, or 0000020218. The game hides all except the last 6 digits, so we get 020218. Meanwhile, an example of an event that does have the WCID in front is the NA/PAL Marshadow. FID is 0626100917. Its WCID is 0626, and visible ID No. is 100917. See the pattern? Basically, they don't just pick a random TID and SID to get the ID No they want. They just pick a FID they want. The TID and SID visible in PKHeX are derived from that. Anyway, as for these events, I think they've only changed a test WC to include the WCID in the FID once before, so I wouldn't expect it to change here. It's possible, though.
Nope, unfortunately. I made a deal to trade for one (and am expecting video proof), but that's all I got.
Found the KOR QR code.
HKTW QR code is out. https://twitter.com/MRoberto1991/status/930727983144493057 I made a PP version because I felt like it.
I know one of my friends isn't going. Dunno about the other yet.

ESPN Showcases 16-Year-Old Arch Manning on National TV, 19 Years After It First Hyped LeBron James

ESPN gave Arch Manning —the 16-year-old nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning— the LeBron James treatment Friday night.
Back on Dec. 17, 2002, the network televised its first-ever high school sporting event: James and his St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball team vs. Carmelo Anthony's Oak Hill Academy. Nineteen years later on ESPNU Friday, Manning —considered the top Class-of-2023 quarterback in the nation —led his New Orleans high school team, Isidore Newman, against Tampa's wildly-talented Berkeley Prep.
With Georgia head coach Kirby Smart watching from the sidelines at Isidore Newman's Lupin Field, Manning ran 68 yards for a touchdown and also threw a 10-yard timing-route for a score. But hounded by Berkeley defensive end Keon Keeley, a Notre Dame commit, Manning also tossed two harried interceptions (not to mention a third one that was wiped out by a penalty) in a 49-24 defeat.
"We knew [Berkeley Prep was] really, really good, and that's as talented of a team as I've seen in quite some time,'' Isidore Newman head coach Nelson Stewart told reporters. "...It was the finest game I've seen Arch Manning play. I've never seen him do what he did tonight against a physically superior opponent.''
Overall, the junior completed 18 of 35 passes for 213 yards. Berkeley Prep (8-0) was led by running back and Iowa State commit Xavier Townsend, who ran for four touchdowns, caught a fifth touchdown, accounted for 351 yards from scrimmage...and also intercepted a Manning pass.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Manning, the son of Eli's and Peyton's older brother Cooper, is in the midst of a high-stakes recruiting war. Even though Eli and his father Archie Manning attended Ole Miss —and young Arch will be in Oxford, Miss., on Saturday to witness Eli's jersey retirement—the Rebels do not appear to be frontrunners. The latest reports have Arch Manning choosing between Georgia and Texas. Alabama is also in the mix.
Arch Manning is a pro-style quarterback who, besides being compared to his NFT-conscious uncles, has been likened to former Stanford and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, due to his mobility.
James and Anthony are now teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers.


A couple of weeks ago, in Woodworker's Journal eZine Issue 310, Woodworker's Journal editor in chief Rob Johnstone wrote in his introductory editorial about a friend who'd questioned him on the viability of cutting his own lumber for a project. Rob asked eZine readers if any of them had ever chopped a tree down, turned it into lumber and built a project. Many of them had — including Herb Brodie, who shares his story here.
I have many large, old oak trees on my lot. Every couple of years, one fails for a variety of reasons — from wind to rot. I've cut a lot of firewood from these trees over the last 30 years. In 1999, while sawing, I thought that the wood was too good for a fire, so I saved about 15 feet of 26-inch diameter trunk. I then made a jig out of 2×6's on the log and fixed an aluminum frame on my chainsaw that allowed me to cut slabs off the log. You can buy outfits like this now, but mine was entirely homemade. Each slab took me about an hour to cut and another hour to relocate the jig for the next cut. I kept the slabs at least 6/4 thick because the precision of my cutting wasn't good enough to ensure uniform dimension. I trimmed the slabs to uniform width with a circular saw. I ended up with 12 boards ranging from 12 to 24 inches wide by 15 feet long. I stacked the boards horizontally with spacers for air drying in a well-ventilated shed, where they stayed for six years.
In 2005, I deemed the boards cured enough to start using them for projects. It was a good idea to saw them as 6/4 because there was a lot of warp and cup. I made a jig that allowed me to clamp a board and plane down one side using a router on a rail. I could then turn the board over and plane down the other side with the router. This made a ton of chips and wasted a lot of wood, but the result was a straight, useable piece of lumber up to 24 inches wide.
A toy chest was a six board box with trim. The top, sides and bottom of this box are each a single board. The sides are fitted with large dovetails. The top and bottom float in slots to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood. The overall dimensions of the box are about 24 inches wide by 36 inches long and 17 inches deep.
I also made a swinging cradle. The cradle can be mounted in the swing, or it can be removed to sit on the floor. This way, the baby can be moved from place to place in the cradle while the swing remains where most needed. The swing is entirely held together with removable pegs so that it can be torn down for storage. I built this cradle and swing in Maryland, then put all the pieces in a box and sent them to my daughter in Oregon. I included a video on how to put it together. My son-in-law glued the cradle together and applied an oil finish. It has served three grandchildren.
I made two other toy chests, several bookcases and children's chairs. The lumber was gone by 2007. But, I lost another larger tree that year. I gained three 12-foot logs 30 to 38 inches in diameter. I did not have a chainsaw capable of sawing these logs into lumber. I hired a local farmer who had a portable band saw. He could cut with precision, so I had 5/4 slabs cut. Within two hours, I had 36 boards ranging from 15 to 30 inches wide and 12 feet long. I cut four cords of firewood from the rest of the tree that sold for more than I paid for the band saw work.
I trimmed and racked these boards outdoors with a metal roof fashioned over the stack. These boards dried more quickly and more uniformly than did my 1999 stack. This spring, I pulled some out to make new baseboards and window trim inside my 100-plus-year-old house. They are straight with little cup and have even thickness. I worked with widths that fit my jointer and thickness planer. I again made a jig for my router for wide boards, and I was able to get a pretty good surface on a 28-inch-wide board. I'm letting that board sit for a while to see if it is stable enough to use whole.
So, now I have a plentiful supply of wide oak boards from a tree in my yard. I have a lot of projects in mind. I love to work with oak. But, at 70 years old, I'm finding it harder than it used to be to pick up a 2 ft. by 12 ft. by 5/4 oak board and carry it into the shop.

Mount Airy vacillates cashing in on a connection to Andy Griffith and the TV series the town inspired. Pride in their native son is displayed in facilities such as the Andy Griffith Museum and Mount Airy Visitors Center. A preference to cleave to the town's identity is expressed by younger generations who want Mount Airy to be just Mount Airy. Willingness to heighten a connection to the classic comedy is reflected in Mayberry Consignments and Mayberry Days.

Estimates are quotes for products or services that you plan to provide a client.
To create an estimate, use the CREATE menu, then select Estimate from your Cashboard home screen.
This area is for you to provide an introduction to your quote. People generally use it to provide a little background about their company and the work they're quoting.
You can copy introduction text from any estimate you've created before by using the Copy icon next to the title, as shown here.
This text area is very powerful, allowing you to format with simple Textile markup. Textile can be used to create bulleted lists, headings, and more.
This section provides you a place to enter in terms of agreement or conditions that your client should be aware of. If you use this in conjunction with the Requires agreement preference your client will be prompted to indicate their agreement via a web form when viewing an estimate online.
Unlike many other software packages, Cashboard supports range estimates.
With this, you can specify a range of hours something might take (5-10) instead of providing just one number. Lots of companies use this for hourly work that they're unsure of how long it will take.
If you don't intend to use this feature simply enter your estimates in the Low boxes. Cashboard can handle it either way.
Use tasks for hourly based work, or work that you intend to perform via flat fee.
Products are for physical goods that you will be selling to a customer.
Custom items are things not covered by the two previous items. Use this for estimating stuff like freelance writing (500-1000 words).
Cashboard supports invoicing from an estimate directly, or you can convert your estimate to a project, and then invoice for that.

When I hear stories about young people who have been bullied, I notice there are always at least two levels of hurt. The first and most obvious comes from the…
Destroying the Shroud
A brutal car wreck devastated Mary Ann Franco. Though she survived, the injuries left her completely blind. "All I could see was blackness," Franco explained. Twenty-one years later, she injured her back in a fall. After waking from surgery (which had nothing to do with her eyes), miraculously, her sight had returned! For the first time in more than two decades, Franco saw her daughter's face. The neurosurgeon insisted there was no scientific explanation for her restored vision. The darkness that seemed so final gave way to beauty and light.
The Scriptures, as well as our experience, tell us that a…
Shackled but Not Silent
In the summer of 1963, after an all-night bus ride, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer and six other black passengers stopped to eat at a diner in Winona, Mississippi. After law enforcement officers forced them to leave, they were arrested and jailed. But humiliation wouldn't end with unlawful arrest. All received severe beatings, but Fannie's was the worst. After a brutal attack that left her near death she burst out in song: "Paul and Silas was bound in jail, let my people go." And she didn't sing alone. Other prisoners, restrained in body but not in soul, soon joined…
Bearing the Burden of Wrongs
On January 30, 2018, almost thirty-eight years after his conviction, Malcolm Alexander walked out of prison a free man. DNA evidence cleared Alexander, who had steadfastly maintained his innocence amid a myriad of court proceedings that were tragically unjust. An incompetent defense attorney (later disbarred), shoddy evidence, and dubious investigative tactics all put an innocent man in prison for nearly four decades. When he was finally released, however, Alexander showed immense grace. "You cannot be angry," he said. "There's not enough time to be angry."
Alexander's words evidence a deep grace. If injustice robbed us of 38 years of our lives and…
Righteous Among the Nations
Our Daily Bread | January 26
At Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Israel, my husband and I went to the Righteous Among the Nations garden that honors the men and women who risked their lives to save Jewish people during the Holocaust. While looking at the memorial, we met a group from the Netherlands. One woman was there to see her grandparents' names listed on the large plaques. Intrigued, we asked about her family's story.
Members of a resistance network, the woman's grandparents Rev. Pieter and Adriana Müller took in a two-year-old Jewish boy and passed him off as the youngest of their eight children from…
Courageous Stand
Teresa Prekerowa was just a teenager when the Nazis invaded her native Poland at the dawn of World War II. This was in the beginnings of the Holocaust when her Jewish neighbors began to disappear—arrested by the Nazis. So Teresa and other Polish countrymen risked their lives to rescue those neighbors from the Warsaw ghetto and the Nazi purge. Teresa would become one of the premier historians of the war and the Holocaust, but it was her courage to stand against the tide of evil that would list her with the Righteous Among the Nations at the Yad Vashem Holocaust…
A Hopeful Lament
Our Daily Bread | August 9
To visit Clifton Heritage National Park in Nassau, Bahamas, is to revisit a tragic era in history. Where the land meets the water, stone steps lead up a cliff. Slaves brought to the Bahamas by ship in the eighteenth century would ascend these steps, often leaving family behind and entering a life of inhumane treatment. At the top, there is a memorial to those slaves. Cedar trees have been carved into the shapes of women looking out to sea toward the homeland and family members they've lost. Each sculpture is scarred with marks of the slave captain's whip.
These sculptures of…

My hometown has experienced its heaviest winter in thirty years. My muscles ache from hours of shoveling the unrelenting snow. When I step inside after what feels like a fruitless effort, weary as I kick off my boots, I'm greeted by the warmth of a fire and my children gathered around it. As I gaze out the window from the shelter of my home, my perspective of the weather shifts completely. Instead of seeing more work to do, I savor the beauty of frosted tree branches and the way the snow blankets the colorless landscape of winter.
I see a similar,…
Joy and Justice
Our Daily Bread | November 4
At a conference in Asia, I had two eye-opening conversations in the span of a few hours. First, a pastor told of spending 11 years in prison for a wrongful murder conviction before he was cleared. Then, a group of families shared how they had spent a fortune to escape religious persecution in their homeland, only to be betrayed by the very people they had paid to bring about their rescue. Now, after years in a refugee camp, they wonder if they will ever find a home.
In both cases, victimization was compounded by an absence of justice—just one evidence of…
Getting Away with It
In June 2004, at a Vancouver art gallery, Canadian cross-country skier Beckie Scott received an Olympic gold medal. That's interesting, because the Winter Olympics had been held in 2002—in Utah. Scott had won bronze behind two athletes who were disqualified months later when it was learned they had used banned substances.
It's good that Scott eventually received her gold, but gone forever is the moment when she should have stood on the podium to hear her country's national anthem. That injustice couldn't be remedied.
Injustice of any kind disturbs us, and surely there are far greater wrongs than being denied a hard-won…
Skittish chickens scattered as relief trucks clattered past the weathered huts of the village. Barefoot children stared. Traffic on this rain-ravaged "road" was rare.
Suddenly, a walled mansion loomed into view of the convoy. It was the mayor's house—although he didn't live in it. His people lacked basic necessities, while he lounged in luxury in a distant city.
Such unfairness angers us. It angered God's prophet too. When Habakkuk saw rampant oppression he asked, "How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?" (Hab. 1:2). But God had noticed, and He said, "Woe to him who piles up stolen…
By its very existence, a ministry center in Rwanda called the "Lighthouse" symbolizes redemption. It sits on land where during the genocide in 1994 the country's president owned a grand home. This new structure, however, has been erected by Christians as a beacon of light and hope. Housed there is a Bible institute to raise up a new generation of Christian leaders, along with a hotel, restaurant, and other services for the community. Out of the ashes has come new life.
Those who built the Lighthouse look to Jesus as their source of hope and redemption. When Jesus went to the…
When A Friend is Suspected of Rape and Murder
YMI | November 2
I was about to turn in for the night; it was almost 11pm. As usual, I gave my phone a final check. My good friend, Linda, had just sent me a flurry of messages. What I was about to read was horrific and heart-breaking.
Who Are You Defending?
When Kathleen's teacher called her to the front of the grammar class to analyze a sentence, she panicked. As a recent transfer student, she hadn't learned that aspect of grammar. The class laughed derisively.
Instantly the teacher sprang to her defense. "She can out-write any of you any day of the week!" he explained. Many years later, Kathleen gratefully recalled the moment: "I started that day to try to write as well as he said I could." Eventually, Kathleen Parker would win a Pulitzer Prize for her writing.
As did Kathleen's teacher, Jesus identified with the defenseless and vulnerable. When His disciples…

Witherspoon, Rhimes among founders of anti-harassment group
By - Associated Press - Monday, January 1, 2018
NEW YORK (AP) - Reese Witherspoon, Shonda Rhimes and Jennifer Aniston are among hundreds of Hollywood women who have formed an anti-harassment coalition called Time's Up.
The initiative (www.timesupnow.com ) was launched Monday with an open letter vowing support for women in the entertainment business and beyond, from janitors to health care workers. Time's Up will include a legal defense fund and will advocate for legislation combatting workplace harassment.
Time's Up also is backing the movement for women to wear black, in solidarity with those who have been sexually harassed, at Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony.
Donators to Time's Up defense fund range from Meryl Streep and Taylor Swift to J.J. Abrams and Viola Davis.
Dozens of men have faced harassment and assault allegations in recent months, including Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose and Kevin Spacey.

Breastfeeding by Hepatitis B Virus-infected Women
Decades ago, studies from the Far East demonstrated that HBsAg could be detected in breast milk in a large proportion of HBV-infected women.[48,49] Because many infants became infected before the availability of immunization, there was concern about the additional risk that breastfeeding might confer. However, around the same time, Beasley et al.[50] reported 53% HBV infection in breastfed vs 60% in formula-fed infants. More recently, several studies have documented no difference in rates of perinatal infection between breastfed and formula-fed vaccinated infants, which was between 0 and 5% in both groups, although many of the women in these studies were HBeAg negative.[51,52] These data support the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics that HBV infection not be considered a contraindication to breastfeeding of infants who receive the HBIG and HBV vaccine as advised.[53] In addition, it appears that breastfeeding does not interfere with the immune response to the HBV vaccine. In one group of 230 infants, the rate of anti-HBs at 1 year of age was 80.9% in breastfed compared with 73.2% in formula-fed infants who received the HBV vaccine alone, and 90.9 vs 90.3% in those who received the HBV vaccine and HBIG.[54] It may be prudent, however, to counsel against breastfeeding by women receiving antiviral agents, because the safety of these drugs during lactation has not been demonstrated.

Canadian security think tank to host forum in Taiwan
By Peng Wan-hsin and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writer
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday welcomed the Halifax International Security Forum's announcement that it would host its first major event in Asia from Jan. 21 to Jan. 23 next year in Taipei, after it earlier presented a leadership prize to President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文).
The Washington-based group of security officials from the world's democratic states has said it would cohost HFX Taipei with the Institute for National Defense and Security Research.
In May, the group awarded Tsai the 2020 John McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service in recognition of her handling of COVID-19 and guarding Taiwan's democracy, which sparked ire from Beijing.

HFX Taipei would be Halifax's first major meeting in Asia, and underscores that Taiwan is a democratic state and participant in the affairs of the region, the ministry said in a news release.
The ministry would work with Halifax and the institute to ensure the success of the event, which would help Taiwan and like-minded partners defend shared democratic values, it said.
The meeting would be attended by internationally recognized opinion leaders, the institute said in a statement.
Since its establishment by the Ministry of National Defense in 2018, the institute has promoted "think tank diplomacy" with counterparts in other states, including Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and the US, as well as European countries, it said.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers hailed the news as a sign of improving ties with the world's powerful democracies.
"The [Halifax] think tank is heavily funded by the Canadian government," DPP Legislator Wang Ting-yu (王定宇) said. "The HFX Taipei forum is effectively a form of semi-official cooperation between the two state-level think tanks."
Politico had reported that the Canadian government had warned the forum not to give the award to Tsai for fear of angering Beijing. Canada denied the report.
After many US senators and Canadian representatives voiced support for the forum's decision, it presented the award to Tsai.
DPP Legislator Lo Chih-cheng (羅致政) said the institute would discuss security issues regarding China at the forum.
"This shows that the world's democracies are coming together to resist totalitarian China," he said.
That Canadian lawmakers have stood by the forum in honoring Tsai suggests that Canadians' views on China have changed, he said.
Beijing's "wolf warrior" diplomacy and saber-rattling is not likely to have an effect on that country, he added.

These Stocks Just Raised Their Dividends
One of our chosen dividend lifters has hiked its payout by more than double, another maintained its Dividend Aristocrat status, and a third made a bump despite a potential blockbuster acquisition.
Eric Volkman
(TMFVolkman)
Aug 12, 2015 at 9:12AM
Income investors' cup runneth over, it seems. On the heels of a frothy week full of dividend raises, last week was similarly filled with companies increasing their payouts. Again, we've got plenty of choices for stocks to feature in this installment of our series.
I've picked a trio of fundamentally sound companies across several different industries that are lifting their distributions -- substantially, in one case -- above 10%.
American International Group (NYSE:AIG)
For those demanding souls who aren't satisfied with a mere doubling of their stock's dividend, there's American International Group. The big insurer has blasted its quarterly payout into the sky, hiking it by 124% to $0.28 per share from just under $0.13.
Perhaps the company is making up for lost time. One of the worst basket cases (and biggest taxpayer-funded rescues) of last decade's financial crisis, it's been a remarkable success story since then, consistently posting annual net profit figures well into the billions of dollars.
AIG Revenue (Annual) data by YCharts.
The most recent quarter was no exception, with revenue of nearly $16 billion and net income coming in at $1.8 billion. Although the latter was down by a steep 41% on a year-over-year basis, this was largely due to a big one-time gain in the same period the previous year. A more accurate measure of performance was operating income, which at $1.9 billion was slightly higher than the year-ago result and beat analyst estimates.
American International Group, in other words, is a money-making machine these days. Free cash flow in each of the past two fiscal years has topped $5 billion, many times what the company requires to fund its dividends. There's little need to worry about the future of this payout, as enhanced as it is.
Said distribution is to be paid on September 28 to holders of record as of September 14.
Illinois Tool Works (NYSE:ITW)
This durable industrial not only likes to raise its payout, it's one of the few Dividend Aristocrats on the market -- the select group of companies that have lifted their dividends at least once annually for a minimum of 25 years running. Illinois Tool Works has managed to double that, doing the increase dance for a hard-to-beat 50-plus years. This latest in the company's extremely long stretch of hikes will see its quarterly payout rise 13% to $0.55 per share.
ITW Dividend data by YCharts.
The company has been comfortably in the black in terms of both profitability and free cash flow in recent years. So for investors attracted to the stock for that rock-steady dividend, it probably isn't a dealbreaker that both top and bottom lines haven't been dynamic lately.
Its latest reported quarter more or less met analyst expectations (revenue of $3.4 billion, net profit of $480 million; both down on a year-over-year basis), and thus didn't wow the market. What was a bit more encouraging was the company's uptick of its per-share earnings guidance, to $5.07 to $5.23, from the previous anticipation of $5.00 to $5.20.
So in the most likely eventuality, Illinois Tool Works will continue to do well. And if it does, free cash flow should stay far above water, leaving plenty of dosh to fund those happily predictable dividends. The company's payout, then, feels very secure to me.
Illinois Tool Works' raised dividend will be paid on October 6 to shareholders of record as of September 30.
Monsanto (NYSE:MON)
This is a company that do-gooders love to hate, but many dividend investors like very much. That's because Monsanto keeps upping its quarterly distribution, a streak it's kept alive since the beginning of this decade. The latest hike is a 10% bump to $0.54 per share.
There's no reason the company shouldn't be boosting its payout. It posted impressive results in its most recent quarter, with attributable net income rising 33% on a year-over-year basis to land at over $1.1 billion. This was well above the average analyst estimate for profitability. Net sales, meanwhile, advanced by 8% to $4.6 billion.
In terms of free cash flow, Monsanto's got more than enough to reward its stockholders. In fiscal 2014, FCF topped $2 billion, more than twice what it paid out in dividends. A 10% raise isn't going to dent that level much, so investors probably shouldn't worry about the viability of the increased payout.
MON Dividend data by YCharts.
One development to keep an eye on, though, is the company's dogged pursuit of Swiss agribusiness major Syngenta, for which it's offered $45 billion. Current Syngenta management seems just as determined not to sell, but shareholders might tip the balance in the U.S. pursuer's favor.
If so, that'll put a crimp on Monsanto's finances. More likely than not, the company will fund the bulk of the acquisition via inexpensive loans on favorable terms. Regardless, it's something for investors to watch going forward.
Monsanto's new dividend will be paid on October 30 to shareholders of record as of October 9.

Like last year, when Samsung Electronics introduced a few devices derived from its top of the line Galaxy S phone (Galaxy S4 – Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Zoom), this year we will see such products launch over the next few months as well.
One such product is the Galaxy S5 Zoom, which according to Samsung's recent teaser posted on Twitter, will launch on April 29 most likely as the Galaxy K.
Previous rumours hint at a 4.8-inch device with Full HD screen resolution, a 1.6GHz quad-core processor or 1.3GHz Exynos 5 Hexa, 2GB of RAM, a 20MP camera sensor with OIS, Android 4.4.2 KitKat and GSM functionality.
Today we are taking another look at the actual device, as a couple of new Galaxy K photos have emerged in Asia, revealing the hibrid from a slightly different angle.
Excited about the upcoming Galaxy S5 Zoom camera phone?


A De Soto County, Louisiana active warrant is an express order from the local tribunal to arrest a person accused of committing a criminal act and bring him before the court to stand trial for his legal infractions. Yet, arrest warrants are never issued by the court unless the police file a complaint to make a request for such an order.
The affidavit filed for the purpose contains all case related information including a mention of the witnesses and the victim. In the event that the details stated in the writ are not enough to establish probable cause, the witnesses are called in to depose under oath. The reason given for this procedure is that the court needs to exercise due diligence to ensure that the rights of the alleged offender are not compromised when granting a De Soto County, LA active arrest warrant to the sheriff's department.
However, once a detention decree of this nature is issued, it gives law enforcement agents discretionary powers when it comes to arresting the individual in question. Often the arrest will take place within a few hours of warrant release. Also, in such a scenario, the person in whose name the warrant has been granted can be taken into custody at any time and from any place including his own home or office or even a third party or public area.
While a person who has an outstanding warrant against him/her will have a tough time getting information from government sources about such an order, it is possible to avail this information from a privately maintained, online database. To access such a repository of nationwide and De Soto County arrest records, you can fill the form above.
From 2001 to 2008, nearly 500 crimes were reported in De Soto County, LA. Of this total figure at least 30 complaints were filed against violent criminal occurrences. Through the interval mentioned above, violent crime rose by over 50% in the area despite a reduction of nearly 30% in the rates of overall crime.

Facebook is reportedly working on a media streaming box with video chat for TVs
Hagop Kavafian
2019/08/01 5:30am PDT Aug 1, 2019
Facebook released its Portal smart displays back in October 2018 and is now reportedly working on expanding its ecosystem to TVs. Indeed, according to rumors, the social media network has approached steaming companies to discuss a potential partnership to bring their services to a new device made for TVs.
Facebook's Portal and Portal+ are down to $80 and $230 (both $120 off)

Smart Displays are a convenient way to place video calls while you're busy doing other things. Unfortunately, they often require people to have a compatible device or use specific software, making it less convenient to reach loved ones. Most people have a Messenger account, though, and Facebook is using this as a selling point for its Portal smart displays against Amazon's Echo Show. If you were thinking of getting an intelligent screen in your household, now is the right time to do so, as both the Portal and the larger Portal+ are currently $120 off at Best Buy.

Communication and information display have started to move beyond the smartphone to smart displays and dedicated video devices like the Facebook Portal. Speaking of which, the social media giant has pushed out an Android app for managing said Portal devices. You can now send photos to the Superframe, add accounts, call your Portal when you're away from home, and manage your favorites.

Facebook's totally-not-a-surveillance-device, the Portal smart display, was released in October of last year. Despite the company's abhorrent record with user privacy, the Portal seems to be fairly popular, and now Facebook is bringing it to more regions and adding new features.

Believe it or not, Facebook's smart display and Echo Show analogue, Portal, is actually pretty well-liked by customers, holding a four-plus star rating at both Amazon and Best Buy. At $199, though, it's not the type of thing most people would splurge on on a whim — but it's currently half off from several retailers.
Facebook Portal is already $50 off ($150) at Best Buy on Black Friday
2018/11/21 7:00am PST Nov 21, 2018
Facebook's recently-revealed Portal video calling device is already getting a price cut for Black Friday at Best Buy. The 10.1" Portal is going for $149.99, which lets you save $50 on the video calling product that just debuted on Nov. 8.
Facebook's products, which it steadfastly reminds us were "built with privacy and security in mind," are available in two flavors: the smaller 10-inch screen Portal for $199, and the larger Portal+ that can be rotated for $349. Both feature Amazon Alexa support and allow for calling contacts via Facebook Messenger. The products also include a special cover to ensure the camera is inaccessible when not in use as well.
Facebook-made smart display will reportedly be announced this week

Facebook has been working on something akin to an Echo Show or smart display for a while now. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook decided to put the plans on hold. Now it appears the device could launch as soon as this coming week.

Studies in ditransitive constructions: A comparative handbook
Studies in ditransitive constructions: A comparative handbook. Ed. by Andrej Malchukov, Martin Haspelmath, and Bernard Comrie. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton, 2010. Pp. xviii, 772. ISBN 9783110220377. $300 (Hb).

This wonderfully complex handbook examines crosslinguistic differences in ditransitive constructions. It also provides a general framework for the typology of ditransitive constructions, including two general chapters, six on the languages of Africa, seven on those of Eurasia, four on the languages of New Guinea and Australia, and seven on the languages of the Americas. The book is supplemented by author, language, and subject indexes.
The first chapter, written by the three editors and that on which I will mainly focus, defines a ditransitive construction as having an agent, recipient, and theme as arguments (to be abbreviated here as A, R, and T). In addition to verbs that have physical recipients, they include verbs such as 'show' and 'tell' because one of the arguments is recipient-like. As is usual for talking about alignment in transitives, the authors use A (agent), S (subject), and P (patient) to distinguish accusative, ergative, and neutral alignment. In ditransitives, they divide the P into T (theme) and R (recipient). Three alignment types are then distinguished: indirect object, secondary object, and neutral. In indirect object alignment, the scheme is T = P ≠ R, and the R is not marked the same as the T. This means the T in a ditransitive is marked like the P in a transitive construction, but the R is different. In secondary object alignment, the scheme is T ≠ P = R, and the P in transitives is treated the same as the R in ditransitives. In neutral alignment, all three are encoded the same way.
The picture is of course a lot more complex than just sketched if one takes into account ergative and accusative languages, mixed markings between constructions, and various other phenomena. The authors do all of this with ample examples from many languages in a sixty-four–page overview. Predominant word orders, variation in serial verb constructions used for ditransitives, alternations (e.g. as in English), and the split (e.g. between full nouns and pronouns) are discussed. Interesting are the suppletive forms of the verb 'give' that depend on the person, and sometimes number, of the R. A major section of the book examines the 'behavioral' properties of the objects (e.g. which of the two passivize, relativize, and incorporate).
The second chapter is comprised of a questionnaire on ditransitive constructions and follows the sections of the introduction. The remainder of the book consists of chapters written by experts on various languages, who discuss the ditransitive in their respective languages. The languages examined are primarily lesser known (at least to general linguists), which increases the value of this book. For instance, the languages of Africa represented include !Xun, Emai, Yorùbá, Baule, Joola Banjal, and Tima. Typological diversity is evident in the selection of the Eurasian languages: Telkepe (a Neo-Aramaic dialect), Vafsi, East-Caucasian and Tungusic overviews, Ket, Chintand and Belhare, and Thai.
This book is an impressive crosslinguistic resource on ditransitives, and it will be the major reference work on ditransitives for years to come.

DOS (Disk Operating System). The predecessor to Windows used as an operating system on PCs (Personal Computers). It could run in as little as 64K. It could address a maximum of 640K. It had no GUI (Graphic User Interface). Usually it worked with a 25 × 80 character screen, monochrome or colour. It could fit on a floppy with plenty of room for programs and data. DOS used the FAT-16 file format. With version 2.0 it supported hard disks and directories.
The term also refers to a DOS (Denial of Service attack), when an enemy bombards your website with so many requests there is no bandwidth or computer power left over to handle legitimate traffic. This primitive sort of attack is difficult to defend against other that by having massive reserve in a server farm or cloud. The attacker often uses viruses or Trojans to commandeer PCs all over the globe for the attack, so it difficult to tell attackers from legitimate users. CloudFlare handles DOS attacks by intercepting traffic to your site and passing through only traffic it believes to be legit. This adds 5 seconds or so to the response time. The government of the Philippines uses the service.


Subject: Why don't they do for URL's what they have done for trademarks when it comes to URL's that have been registered but are not in use.
I hate it when I'm looking for a new URL and find that most of the ones I want have been taken and not being used, sometimes several years after they were originally registered. It just does not seem fair.
