Toothache pain is the worst. You can't see it, it doesn't go away on its own and you can't massage it like a muscle knot. It's also a loud indicator of a serious problem that requires immediate attention from a dentist.
Most toothaches are the result of tooth decay, which means you probably have the result of that tooth decay or advanced gum disease. The pain you feel – usually when you eat or drink something sweet, very hot or very cold – is an alarm bell telling you that the pulp is irritated. The pulp is the inside of your tooth, where the tissue and nerves are located, so if something is wrong with the pulp, you'll feel it in the entire tooth.
What are the symptoms that come with a toothache?
It's important to pay attention to little things that might seem "off" with your teeth and the inside of your mouth.
For example, you might have an abscess, which means that pus has collected around the tooth root. Pus can be a sign of a bacterial infection, especially if it's accompanied by tissue inflammation, bleeding gums and bone loss around the tooth. In either case, you should see your dentist as soon as possible.
One overlooked issue related to toothaches is the presence of sepsis, which is when your body goes overboard in fighting an infection. If sepsis develops and is left untreated, it can kill you. Nearly 2,000 people a year are hospitalized with it, and it nearly always develops from a treatable bacterial infection. If you have a toothache, you need to get it examined. It's too risky to bet that it won't develop into a life-threatening condition like sepsis.
My dentist says there's nothing wrong with my jaw or teeth. What's my problem?
The body manifests pain in many ways, and in some cases, what seems to be a simple toothache isn't one at all. Rather, the pain is a symptom of another problem. Extreme stress, prior traumas, heart conditions and even some forms of cancer can present pain in the mouth that appears to have no cause.
Do you have a cold or severe allergies? These can cause sinus pressure, which can also put pressure on the roots of your upper molars, leading to tooth pain. Talk with your doctor to see if an antihistamine might help relieve the pressure. If the pain doesn't go away, see your dentist.
Also, if you suffer from chronic pain, migraines, limb movement disorders or similar problems, you should tell your dentist so he or she can better locate the source of your pain.
Your dentist will probably ask how long you've been feeling the pain, so try to keep notes for reference.
The most important thing to remember is that pain in your mouth is not normal. If your tooth hurts and something feels wrong, go to your dentist. Hopefully, it's something minor that can easily be treated, but it's not worth taking a risk that could endanger your health.

Some pilgrims stay outside the boundaries of `Arafat until sunset then they go to Al Muzdalifah without standing at `Arafat which is a terrible error that annuls their Hajj because Hajj is spending the Day at `Arafah as was reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him); this is the most important part of Hajj. Its time starts from the noon of the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah until the dawn of the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah. Abandoning this pillar annuls the Hajj, so it is the duty of a pilgrim to stay in the boundaries of `Arafat and a pilgrim has to make sure of that as long as there are guidelines to indicate the boundaries of `Arafat.
However, the correct is to indulge in something useful either in the world or in the Hereafter, so a pilgrim should ask Allah for the goodness of the world and the Hereafter, pronounce Tahlil (saying: There is no god but Allah), and pronounce Takbir by saying: "Allahu Akbar" because of the Messenger's saying: "The best invocation is the invocation on the Day of `Arafah. And the best thing that I or the Prophets before me have said is: La Ilaha Illa Allah Wahdahu La Sharika Lah, Lahul-Mulku, Walahu Al Hamdu, wahuwa `Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadir [There is no deity but Allah alone without partner, His is the sovereignty, and to Him is the praise, and He is over all things wholly capable]." [Reported by Imam Ahmad and At-Tirmidhy].
A pilgrim may pronounce Talbiyah, saying: "Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, Labbayka la sharika Laka labbayk, Inna Al Hamda Wan-Ni`mat Laka Wal Mulk La Sharika Lak [O Allah, here I am responding to Your Call, verily praise and favor belong to You. There is no partner with You in worship]."
Some people may go wild and take some games with them such as backgammon, solitaire, chess, or (narghile) or smoking. They have forgotten Allah's Saying: "Thus it is [what has been mentioned in the above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to Allâh] and whosoever honors the Symbols of Allâh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts." [Surat Hajj: 34].
It is an act that was not reported and has no proof.
However, the correct is the permissibility of standing at any place in `Arafat. Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud reported that when the Messenger (peace be upon him) stood at the mountain of Al Rahmah, he said: I stood here, and any place in `Arafah is part of it.
So, it is not permissible for a pilgrim to exert efforts to reach the Mountain of Al Rahmah although it is permissible to stand at any spot in `Arafah, particularly in these days when pilgrims are over than 3 millions. So, if all pilgrims want to stand at the rocks as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did, bad consequences shall take place as a result of pushing one another as it happens at throwing the pebbles.
It is better to take the concession of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and stand at any spot in `Arafat, especially for women, old people, and the disabled to be in conformity with the Hadith which says that any part of `Arafah is permissible to stand at.
However, the correct is that pilgrims should not fast the day of `Arafah because the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not fast on the day of the Farewell Hajj. It was reported in Sunan Abu Dawud that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade the fasting of the day of `Arafah for pilgrims.
However, the correct is: Pilgrims should not perform Salatul-`Eid because they are engaged in the actions of Hajj and they should not perform Friday Salah if it comes on the day of `Arafah.
Imam Malik (may Allah bestow mercy on his soul) said: Friday Salah is not obligatory on the day of `Arafah or in Mina during Hajj (for pilgrims).
It is not permissible to leave `Arafah before sunset because the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood at `Arafah until the sun had set; and he said: Take your rituals from me.

Matthew's legacy: The Laramie Project at SUNY-Ulster
Posted by staff on April 7, 2022 in Stage · 0 Comments
Same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states, and many have commented on how swiftly public opinion on gay rights seems to have changed. But 18 years after a 21-year-old gay University of Wyoming student was kidnapped, severely beaten, tortured and left to die, tied to a fence outside Laramie, violence against LGBTQ people is still common in this country, and in many places deemed more "socially acceptable" than other types of hate crimes. One need not spend much time on social media before encountering the word "gay" being used as a term of insult, and suicide rates are still high among LGBTQ youth.
So the issues raised by the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard have not gone away. And The Laramie Project – the powerful theater piece assembled by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project from interviews with more than 200 Laramie residents during the trial of Shepard's attackers – remains as timely as ever. A new production of the play by the Theatre Department at SUNY-Ulster opens this Thursday at the Quimby Theater in Vanderlyn Hall, running through April 17.
"After Matthew's death, it took ten years to pass hate crime legislation on a national level when president Barack Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law. Yet today violence is rampant in the gay, lesbian and transgender community," points out Theatre Program coordinator Stephen Balantzian, who is directing The Laramie Project. "Anti-gay legislation is still tried today. In the play, Jonas Slonaker, an openly gay character, asks, 'What has come of this, what's come out of this that is concrete or lasting?' The play presents many issues such as homophobia, tolerance versus acceptance and discrimination. Yet I hope the play encourages contemplation and conversation."
SUNY-Ulster is reaching out to local LGBTQ youth and their allies by scheduling a special daytime performance specifically for area high school students, followed by a talkback featuring Fred Mayo, board president of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center. "We have students coming from LGBTQ clubs, Gay/Straight Alliances…we've had an overwhelming response from our community and are looking forward to sharing The Laramie Project with our audiences," Balantzian says. "We think the message of compassion and acceptance will resonate – especially for the high school students."
Regular performances of the play will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, April 7 to 9 and 14 to 16, with 2 p.m. Sunday matinées on April 10 and 17. Students get in free; general admission is by a suggested donation of $10 at the door. SUNY-Ulster is located at 491 Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge.

The Last Seduction 2
Posted on , under Softcore Erotic flicks
Directed by: Terry Marcel
Actors: Joan Severance, Con O'Neill, Beth Goddard
Country: USA | UK
Also known as: Ostatnie uwiedzenie II, A Última Sedução II, L'ultima seduzione 2, L'última seducció 2
Description: In THE LAST SEDUCTION, Bridget Gregory uses her undeniable sexual allure to lure a couple of hapless suckers to their doom in the best femme fatale tradition. In the direct-to-video sequel, she goes to Barcelona and basically gives a moronic jerkwad what's coming to him. Bit of a step down, no?
Oh, the sad joys of the low-rent sequel/ripoff trade! Written by a guy who used to be in Del Amitri, directed by the fella who once upon a time gave the world HAWK THE SLAYER (and has almost literally made nothing else since this film wrapped) and starring that chick who was Black Scorpion and got a lot of work in the '90s because she liked to show her tits, this mercenary cash-grab would appear to have nothing going for it… and that impression would be correct. It's a silly, laughable attempt at neo-noir heavy breathing, with lots of profanity and hardass dialogue to constitute "attitude"; the filmmakers appear to be trying to recapture that nasty-ass vibe so effortlessly conjured by the film that has (ahem) inspired them, yet the best they can do is make everyone equally conniving and hateful. Still, there's something to be said for THE LAST SEDUCTION II: It's trying so hard to be overheated that you can see the sweat rolling off it, and like many a noir gloss gone bad, it's greatly amusing in its misfired atmosphere. Contrived, desperate, retarded as fuck; in other words, good for a chuckle.

Karger AG, Basel Introduction Cardiac disease is often associated with worsening renal function and vice versa. The coexistence of cardiac and renal disease significantly increases mortality, morbidity, and the complexity and cost of care [1, 2]. Syndromes describing the interaction between the heart and the kidney are recognized, but have never Table 1. Definition and classification of the CRS CRS general definition: Disorders of the heart and kidneys whereby acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction of the other Acute CRS (Type 1) Acute worsening of cardiac function leading to renal dysfunction Chronic CRS (Type 2) Chronic abnormalities in cardiac function leading to renal dysfunction Acute Renocardiac Syndrome (Type 3) Acute worsening of renal function causing cardiac dysfunction Chronic Renocardiac Syndrome (Type 4) Chronic abnormalities in renal function leading to cardiac disease Secondary CRS (Type 5) Systemic conditions causing simultaneous dysfunction of the heart and kidney been clearly defined and classified.
Rarely, decreased renal perfusion may also occur as a result of an outflow problem such a renal vein thrombosis or abdominal compartment syndrome which is a symptomatic organ dysfunction that results from an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Abdominal compartment syndrome leads to AKI and acute oliguria mainly by directly increasing renal outflow pressure, thus reducing renal perfusion. Other possible mechanisms decreasing renal perfusion pressure include direct parenchymal compression and arterial vasoconstriction mediated by stimulation of the sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin systems (renin-mediated arterial vasoconstriction) by the fall in cardiac output related to decreased venous return.

Forbes: Impressive how Estonia hacks the crisis. Invest Estonia continuing work in a fully digital mode
Estonia decided to hack the crisis caused by coronavirus. Forbes writes how Estonia has responded to the coronavirus crisis and how much there is to learn from countries with a digital mindset, such as Estonia to tackle the crisis.
"I'm constantly impressed by Estonia," says Robert C. Wolcott on Forbes. "Today, their collective response to the coronavirus crisis— both their government and tech community — has much to teach us."
Estonia Leads A Digital Way
According to Forbes, building on its well-deserved brand as the "digital nation," Estonia two days ago began organizing an online hackathon, "Hack the Crisis" (HtC), co-hosted by Garage48 and Accelerate Estonia.
"WE ARE ACCELERATING ESTONIA TO NEW HEIGHTS!… Now is the prime time to design, test and launch moonshot ideas that will… help tackle the crisis or position Estonia well for the aftermath," announced the HtC team on their event site.
"We are looking for ideas that are prototypable in 48 hours and help solve the crisis and give Estonia the edge in the post-crisis words," Garage48 explained the purpose of the hackathon.
"Note that almost all of the activity behind HtC is being done online. Estonia's exceptional digital infrastructure provides a flexible, resilient platform through a pandemic where it becomes essential to limit human-to-human contact," Robert C. Wolcott says.
"What is truly breathtaking is how fast everyone mobilized," he notes and gives a timeline of how fast things went:
Within one week, Estonia went from patient zero to 135 confirmed cases. Thursday evening, March 12, the Minister for Foreign Trade and ICT, Kaimar Karu, shared a call to action: "Use this crisis to emerge stronger."
The next morning at 9:30 am, the Estonian startup community suggested the HtC concept. By 10:00 AM Minister Karu endorsed the concept and set everyone to action. Accelerate Estonia selected partners and launched the hackathon at 4:30 pm. Within 90 minutes, over 650 people had posted 80 ideas for consideration. By Sunday— two days later— there were 1,000 people participating and 30 teams working on solutions.
Wolcott: What Can We Learn From Our Estonian Friends?
"My head is still spinning, I'm reflecting on what we can learn," Wolcott admits and finds 6 lessons from Estonia's coronavirus crisis response:
#1 Startup mindset
Technology already provides tools to help us thrive through this adversity. We should all start experimenting. This startup mindset is precisely what we need to turn challenge into opportunity.
#2 High-scale solutions & partners
Rapid experimentation alone isn't enough. We require institutions with capabilities for scale: large corporations, NGOs and government. Facing high-scale challenges requires high-scale solutions, and partners ready and able to go big.
#3 People want to help
In times of crisis, people want to help. They're often seeking ways to contribute their own personal gifts. A well-articulated, timely challenge can mobilize impressive resources and talent. The act of contributing provides individuals and organizations with a sense of progress and release from feeling helpless. While no one can control a pandemic, we can have collective impact.
#4 Estonia's digital transformation
Estonia's digital transformation of all government services over the past five years puts the country in a better position to navigate crises. As we grapple with disruptions of all in-person gatherings— from workplaces and conferences to performances and sporting events— other nations should take note. e-Estonia took time and commitment.
#5 Public-private sector engagement
We must enhance our public-private sector engagement and defend non-partisan mechanisms for national response. This will require recovering mutual respect between public and private institutions. We've lost this cross-sector respect over the past few decades. We must rebuild.
#6 Getting to work!
As Viljar Lubi, Estonia's Undersecretary for Economic Development, stated: "We have two options: fight or flight. When there is nowhere to run and we have the tools to fight, let's do it."
"It is up to each of us how we respond to this crisis, individually and as communities, locally and worldwide," Wolcott sums it up.
Accelerate Estonia will sponsor up to 5 best ideas with 5,000 euros for execution during the state of emergency and full support of the minister for ICT and Foreign Trade, Kaimar Karu will be provided.
The best ideas of "Hack the Crisis"
According to press release of Tallinn Science Park Tehnopol the winning projects of HtC were:
#1 Zelos
Zelos – connecting people at risk with volunteers via call centre + task dispatch app. The hardships of the most vulnerable people in the society, eg those who don't have any family members or friends to help them, have been gravely exacerbated by the corona crisis. There are many people who would be willing to help, but currently, there is no good way to connect people in need with volunteers.
#2 Ventit Breathing apparatus
1% of people who get coronavirus develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and need a breathing machine to survive, called ventilators. In case of a pandemic, there aren't enough to go around. For instance, in Italy their doctors have to choose who lives and who dies purely on the availability of such machines – no doctor should have to do this.
#3 Vanemuine – medical volunteer management database
Today we lack an organised and secure database to find people with suitable medical competences based on their location and call them to action. When in a crisis situation, there is a need for medical volunteer resources. Today's situation is that volunteers information is kept in unsecure datasheets. It is very time-consuming to reach out and check the availability of volunteers.
#4 Share Force One
It is a workforce sharing platform that connects B2B sides for temporary workforce exchange. Due to the coronavirus crisis, a lot of companies and employees have been left to deal with the unknown – will they have jobs and salaries? Some companies are in need of additional workforce and others are facing the reality of not being able to offer jobs anymore. Although this problem has risen like a shooting star during the past couple of days, the excess of workforce and need of additional workforce are problems that companies have to deal with all the time.
#5 Corona-tracker by Velmio
There's mounting pressure on the healthcare system and a lack of real-time data sources for individuals and governments to monitor the situation. The virus is very contagious and although most cases are mild, the illness is deadly for certain groups of people. There's currently no way to self-monitor your risk or recovery from home in real-time, and it will become infeasible for all of us to bombard our doctors and hospitals constantly for advice.
A special price to StateBot
A team with members from – among others – the Invest in Estonia team was proud to be awarded a special prize. Several Estonian Investment Agency's employees participated in the legendary hackathon within the team 'StateBot', headed by our Work in Estonia colleagues. An amazing team of volunteers gathered around Michaela Snopková, to create a chatbot that will be embedded into public web pages and will answer people's questions related to the crisis, giving state-approved answers both in Estonian and English. The StateBot chatbot will be released as soon as possible – we will let our readers know about the latest developments.
The team behind StateBot is already experienced in creating and using automated tools for public use. While it includes several experienced bot-building professionals, Invest Estonia's own team members have been developing and utilising their own 'electronic investment advisor' called Eia and can help with their experience. During the crisis, Eia helps our staff to provide high-quality digital services even when the whole staff is working from home office. During the current situation, it is important to notice that our robot colleague is not afraid of any microbes (and does not spread any, herself). At the same time, she is happy to help every potential investor in the time when coronavirus has made all of us avoid real-life contacts and work remotely.
Furthermore, don't be surprised when our Estonian Investment Agency's investment advisor will send you an invitation to arrange your pre-planned business lunches in a digital form. Invest Estonia has been developing a tool to enable to move forward with our tasks, giving us all an opportunity to work digitally and stay home.
Invest Estonia is working remotely from March 16 until further notice. We are open for communication by phone, email, our e-Consulting and Online Business Dinner solutions.
Stay safe, everyone! And let's do our work digitally for a while. Want to do business or invest in Estonia? Our quick and free e-Consulting service is here to help you.

I thought meta description and tags were redundant anyway?
If you did change, you should have put your most important tags at the beginnign of your description so that any shortening will leave them intact.
Dang! I just finished redoing everything early this year! What the?! Seriously? This is frustrating.... Imma go ahead and check the SERPS. Geez!
So right now how many words ? Before it was 320 right ?
I just finished increasing the length of my meta descriptions yesterday.
Yeah it was 320 before as far as I was aware, or is it reverting back to this?
In regards to the thread topic, as for me it will not be too much of an issue although some sites will need to be adjusted accordingly. Oh well...... I guess you could say that it would not be called Search Engine Optimization, if websites and their meta description length would never have a need to be "optimized" every now and then.

Clarion's Call

He followed the call of his country-straight into the frontier's bloodiest battle…Quinn Pendarrow is looking forward to a new chapter in his life. Obtaining an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, he sets off to marry his sweetheart-only to discover that while he committed himself to his country, his intended committed herself to another…With nowhere else to turn, Quinn re-enlists as a civilian member of the Trains Company, responsible for the delivery of military supplies to units in the Dakota Territory. He never expects to meet a woman under these circumstances-yet he soon encounters the talented and beautiful Kate, daughter of the respected painter P. D. Mackenzie. The Mackenzies are touring the West to paint the Plains Indians-but they don't know the first thing about the dangers of the frontier. Even as Quinn undertakes to protect Kate, he's called upon to aid General Custer's forces for an upcoming battle. A battle that will go down in history-and change Quinn's life forever…… (more)

Fictionalized version of the events culminating in the Battle at the Little Bighorn. Pretty good outlining of the major events. Custer is presented in a less than flattering light.
One of the more interesting portions of the book has to do with the evacuation of the wounded survivors from the Reno and Benteen groups, via the steamboat 'Far West', which had delivered some materiel to the Seventh prior to their embarkation on the campaign. Navigating further up the Yellowstone River than any commercial craft had ever gone, the 'Far West' traversed shallow water, shifting sandbars, islands, rapids, and tight quarters to get the wounded back to Fort Bismark.

This acceptance letter can also be referred to as a response letter if the company only writes a letter to the company it has decided to accept the proposal of and does not respond to all the companies, that have sent their proposals.
The company might seek a proposal from a vendor, or a vendor may offer its services to the company with the hope that its proposal will get accepted. When a company receives a proposal from a vendor, it analyses the document in a critical way to assess the pros and cons of signing a contract. If it deems the proposal beneficial, it will inform the vendor with a congratulatory wish through this type of letter.
This letter is an official and formal letter, which is issued on the company's letterhead and is duly signed and stamped so that the vendor does not have any doubt regarding the authenticity of the acceptance letter.
When this letter is being drafted, the following factors shape its content:
The duration of the contract, and whether it is a rolling contract or a one-time contract.
The type of arrangement and contractual clauses.
The expectations that the company has from the vendor.
The competitiveness of the vendor.
The offers of the vendor's proposal,
The mutual benefits, etc.
The length and information in such letters can, hence, vary. However, generally, the details present are:
Official information of the vendor company.
Official information of the company.
Reference to the received proposal.
Notify about its acceptance and congratulate.
State reasons of choosing the vendor.
State the contract details and duration.
Mention any attached documents.
Show hope and expectations of a good professional relationship.
Show openness for correspondence and queries.
Salutation, signature, and official stamp.
After receiving this letter, the vendor would consider the deal final and would review the received contract, which is, usually, attached with this letter. If the vendor finds the contract desirable, it will sign it for further proceedings. Therefore, this type of letter is the first step in the development of a professional and official contract.
Dear Ms. Sarah,
Congratulations! On behalf of ABC Limited, I want to inform you that we have accepted your proposal (Reference ID: X), which was sent by your company XYZ Limited on 5th January 20XX.
Among all the proposals we received after our tender notice, your company seemed most competitive and experienced. In addition, your offers match our intended goals. As you know, we were selling the machines ourselves. The purpose of outsourcing this job, and doing forward integration, is to reach a large number of people and generate maximum sales.
As per our previous correspondences, we will be selecting the advertising company, and the expenses of marketing and advertising will be equally borne by both ABC and XYZ.
The commencing date of the contract would be 1st February 20XX. It would be a rolling contract, as per the willingness of both parties. The initial duration of the contract is two years. A copy of the contract is attached to this letter.
We hope that both companies will mutually benefit from this deal. We will soon contact you and arrange a meeting for further proceedings. If you have any queries, contact us at [X].
We are looking forward to working with you.
Craig Jones.

, the mother of Joseph Smith, dictated this rough draft version of her history to Martha Jane Knowlton Coray (with some additional scribal help from Martha's husband,
) beginning in 1844 and concluding in 1845. In 1845, the Corays inscribed a fair copy of the history under Lucy's direction.

, on 23 January 1845, Smith informed him, "I have by the council of the 12 [Apostles] undertaken a history of the family, that is my Fathers Family and my own." She added:
People are often enquiring of me the particulars of Joseph's getting the plates seeing the angels at first and many other thing which Joseph never wrote or published I have told over many things pertaining to these matters to different persons to gratify their curiosity indeed have almost destroyed my lungs giving these recitals to those who felt anxious to hear them I have now concluded to write down every particular as far as possible and if those who wish to read them will help me a little they can have it all in one piece to read at their leasure—
To help defray the cost of publication she asked William to start a subscription to raise about $100 to buy paper to print her history (Lucy Mack Smith, Nauvoo, IL, to William Smith, 23 Jan. 1845, CHL).
Later that year on 8 October, at a general conference of the church being held in the
spoke of the completion of her project. According to the conference minutes she "gave notice that she had written her history, and wished it printed before we leave this place" ("Conference Minutes," Times and Seasons, 1 Nov. 1845, 6:1014). However, arrangements could not be made for its publication prior to the Saints' departure from Nauvoo. It was eventually printed by

Years later, Martha Jane Knowlton Coray, writing from Provo, Utah, in June 1865, responded to a request from
for information regarding her role in the drafting and publication of
Mother Smith
's history. Regarding Smith, Coray wrote, "I was her amanuensis at the time the Book was written." She then cited her own practice of "noting down everything, I heard and read which possessed any peculiar interest to me. . . . I was occupied, from time to time as occasion offered, in making notes of sermons, and other things which I thought reliable such as: discourses by yourself, the twelve, and other responsible men." She then related that this practice "made it an easy task for me to transmit to paper" what Smith dictated to her. She added, "
and Joseph were dead, and thus without their aid, she [Lucy] attempted to prosecute the work, relying chiefly upon her memory. . . . There were two Manuscripts prepared, one copy was given to Mother Smith, and the other retained in the Church" (Martha Jane Knowlton Coray, Provo, UT, to Brigham Young, 13 June 1865, Brigham Young Office Files, CHL).
The two completed manuscripts Coray referenced in her letter to
were preceded by a draft, sometimes referred to as the "rough draft manuscript." Martha Jane Coray and her husband,
, composed this draft as they met with
during the fall and winter 1844–1845. Then, in early 1845, utilizing the rough draft and other notes and sources, the Corays apparently penned two revised, or "fair," copies. The sole extant fair version is titled "The History of Lucy Smith Mother of the Prophet." Miscellaneous fragments included with the rough draft copy suggest that the Corays may also have produced an intermediate draft prior to transcribing the two fair copies. Assuming an intermediate draft once existed in some form, most of it has been lost.
obtained a U.S. copyright for her manuscript on 18 July 1845. (Copyright for Lucy Mack Smith, "The History of Lucy Smith," 18 Juy 1845, Robert Harris, Copyright Registry Records for Works Concerning the Mormons to 1870, CHL). According to the "History of Brigham Young," on 10 November of that same year,
and several members of the Twelve "consulted on the subject of purchasing the copy right of Mother Smith's History; and concluded to settle with Brother
for his labor in compiling the same" (History of the Church, 7:519). No currently extant record indicates whether Smith was actually approached about selling her copyright to the church, nor is it known if the Corays were compensated as indicated above.
As previously noted, one of the two prepared fair copies was given to
by the Corays. There are varying accounts regarding what happened next, but by March 1853, Smith's copy was in the possession of
. Pratt took it to England where he had it printed by the end of that summer under the title Biographical Sketches of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, and His Progenitors for Many Generations, by Lucy Smith, Mother of the Prophet. The fair copy adapted for the
, England, publication by Pratt apparently is no longer extant.
The second fair copy was apparently given to the church before the Saints departed from
and was taken west by them. An entry for "Mother Smith's History" is listed in the first extant Historian's Office inventory, compiled in Nauvoo in 1846 by clerk
. Records of a 4 April 1855 inventory of the Historian's Office included an entry for "Mother Smiths Mss History" (Schedule of Church Records. Nauvoo 1846," [1]; "Inventory, Historian's Office, 4th April 1855," [2], Historian's Office, Catalogs and Inventories, 1846–1904, CHL). It seems that the Corays retained the rough draft and transported it to Utah.
had not consulted with
or other church leaders before publishing the 1853
edition of
's history. Young had not authorized its publication and believed it contained historical errors. In 1865, Young and his counselors in the First Presidency of the church formally recalled the Liverpool edition. According to
's journal for 22 April 1866, Young asked Woodruff to request church historian

, to revise the text so that it could be reissued in a corrected edition. However, despite expectations, a revised version was not issued during Young's lifetime. It was not until 1901 that the church released an authorized edition, in serial form in the Improvement Era. The serial began in the November 1901 issue under the title "History of the Prophet Joseph Smith" and concluded in the January 1903 issue. When published in book form in 1902, it bore the title History of the Prophet Joseph Smith by His Mother Lucy Smith as Revised by George A. Smith and Elias Smith. Subsequently, other popular editions have appeared.
Much of the value of
's account lies in her offering a wife and mother's perspective on her family's role in the early church. She illuminates the family setting that fostered the birth of Mormonism and retells incidents and interactions recounted nowhere else. Though there are errors in the dating of some events and occasionally in place and individual names, overall her account is of inestimable value, providing a rarely heard woman's voice as it traces JS's life from beginning to end. She was present at many seminal events and offered insights no one else could provide.
Beginning with details of her New England ancestors,
related an account of her family's early experiences and support of JS during the founding era of the church. Adversity and persecution are vividly evident, as are hard work, faith, love, and testimony. Many details that we know about early church history can be attributed to Lucy, such as JS's leg operation when he was a child; the death of JS's oldest brother,

Q: Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data increases day by day even after delete the data We have MySQL server V5.7.11 in which the Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data is getting increasing day by day. Initially we have set innodb_buffer_pool_size to 8G but we got error of max connection reached, after that we come to know that Data was increased drastically and reached to 6-7G due to some transit tables in production site, so we have set innodb_buffer_pool_size to 40G. After 10-12 days some of tables a specially two tables contains approx 20G data at that point Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data was approx 53% of total allocated innodb_buffer_pool_size. So on hourly basis we have Drop those two tables as we are generating data from these tables to other tables. After Dropping those tables DB size was reduced to 300M but the Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data was not reduced as per our expectation it remains same, so dropping of tables didn't flush out the buffer data of dropped table. Current status is DB size is 6G and Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data 30G approx which is approx 70% of total buffer pool configured.

A: InnoDB's buffer_pool is a cache area for its use.  You can control the maximum size via innodb_buffer_pool_size.  A good setting for that is about 70% of available RAM.
The buffer_pool contains 16KB blocks of data being read (and cached) and blocks  waiting to be flushed to disk.  It also contains the "change buffer", which is a list of index changes waiting to be flushed to disk.
InnoDB has control over when it frees up any of the space in the buffer_pool, but it tends to fill up the available size before getting serious about freeing space.  That is, you should not be expecting it to shrink.
It is very typical for Innodb_buffer_pool_bytes_data to be more than 90% of innodb_buffer_pool_size.

Goals from Ruben Gonzalez and Daniel Alvarez did the job as Necaxa were able to hold on for the win over Atlas at Estadio Jalisco to boost their chances of a place in the playoffs.
Ventura Alvarado started for Necaxa and played the entire game while Omar Gonzalez had a spot on the bench for Atlas to watch of the action.
The action was fast and furious in the first half, with Necaxa looking the stronger of the two early on.
And that push for the first goal was finally rewarded for the visitors 16 minutes into the game when Ruben Gonzalez found the back of the net. Rodrigo Contreras pounced on the ball in the area, and with the goalkeeper and defense focused on him, he passed the ball to the wide-open midfielder who steered the ball home.
Necaxa had to wait until the second half to double their lead when Alvarez scored in the 70th minute. The forward collected a pass from Hugo Gonzalez then toyed with his marker with some stepovers before putting his shot past Atlas goalkeeper Jose Hernandez.
Despite holding the lead, Necaxa had to play on with 10 men for the rest of the game when Ruben Gonzalez was sent off.
The sending off gave Atlas somewhat of a spark and they reduced the deficit in the 95th minute with a goal from Anderson Santamaria.
However, it was too little, too late as Necaxa took all three points.
Necaxa sits in fourth place in the standings with 24 points.
In other Liga MX action, Willian Yarbrough watched from the bench as Leon came with a 3-0 win over Puebla.
Down in Ascenso MX, Fernando Arce started while Rubio Rubin came off the bench for Dorados as they shared the spoils with Atletico San Luis following a 2-2 tie.
Joaquin Hernandez started for Correcaminos UAT as they fell to Cimarrones de Sonora in a 2-1 defeat.
Jose Carrera-Garcia came off the bench for Celaya as they settled for a 1-1 tie with Universidad Guadalajara.

I have reviewed Commissioner Alan Bingham's letter to the Board of Alderman (below for others to review) and I have found it frustratingly inaccurate.
I am hereby requesting that Mr. Bingham is removed from his position as Historic Commissioner, as he is either intentionally deceptive or incompetent.
The 2 most important points of his letter were 1. His false description of the 1985 Survey and 2. His false description of the proposed ordinance's effect on property rights.
This is false. I am attaching here Page 2 and Page 4 of the Survey, which clearly shows that in addition to adopting 100 buildings from the National Historic Register, 500 additional buildings were captured as historically significant. I'm sorry, but Mr. Bingham has simply intentionally or unintentionally mis-stated the facts.
This is false. In fact, any addition to any house (over 75 years old) would be scrutinized summing over a rolling 5 year period, to determine if the summed additions exceeded the 25% 5-year threshold of surface area affected. This means that houses wanting an addition that affects over 25% surface area (over 5 years) could not do this (even if they have the zoning right to do it) without going through Mr. Alan Bingham. Again, I'm sorry, but Mr. Bingham has simply intentionally or unintentionally mis-stated the facts.
I desperately request that all Alderman search their souls on this proposed ordinance, and realize that this ordinance is corrupt and will be used for corruption. Do not read Mr. Bingham's description with confidence in its accuracy. Read it with suspicion.
We (Somerville Matters) believe the 1985 Somerville Historic Survey (which was hidden from the Alderman) identifies Somerville's significant buildings, and the remaining non-significant buildings do not have historical significance enough to seize the civil/ property/ zoning rights of all properties over 75 years old (the whole City!). To do so would be an egregious abuse of power (under the guise of historic preservation, where nothing is historically significant), and would undermine the progress towards this Beautiful City's needs for additional housing. Make no mistake, the proposed demolition review ordinance will kill the power of the Zoning Overhaul.
Please see what Alan Bingham has sent to the Board of Aldermen. I think this responds to most of your questions regarding a Historic Property Inventory.
I forwarded Mr. Bingham your emails for his information as the Chair of the HPC and so he might respond. I would encourage you to include him as one of your 200 email recipients.
Observations on the draft and addressing some questions raised.
a) The notion that the city should have a listing of all properties in the city that are 'significant' historically may seem like a useful concept. Frankly, it would be an asset to the city, but is not practical given the low demand and high cost.
There seems to be a lack of understanding of what is 'significant', and what should be preserved and how any such preservation is accomplished. I hope to clarify.
· A property may be designated 'significant' for architectural reasons in its own right or as part of a group of dwellings. It can also be considered 'significant' for cultural and societal reasons, or both. It may also be one of the few remaining examples of that architecture in the city.
· 'Significant' can apply to worker's cottages as well as grand homes and commercial structures. 'Significance' relates to the context of the structure in the greater mosaic of the city's architectural history.
· 'Significant' can also apply to a structure that has a significance to the social and/or cultural history of the city.
· 'Significance' is determined using the guidelines of the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service. 'Significance' requires research unto the history of the structure for its contribution to society as well as its architectural value. So this means more than a simple drive-by survey which will not deliver this information. The 1985 survey that has been referenced by some parties was a small scale study of a limited extent (about 16% of the city) for the purposes of rapidly identifying potential properties for local historic district designation.
· If a structure is determined 'Significant' then the next step in the process is a determination of whether it should be 'Preferably preserved', or not.
· If not then a demolition permit can be issued by ISD without delay.
· If determined 'Preferably preserved' the next step is to determine what that means for the structure in question. It can vary from a complete preservation order (viz – the post office in Union Square) to photographic and sketch images placed into archives, and allowing the whole structure to be demolished (viz – 227-229 Cedar + 17 Murdock + 21-25 Murdock and also the 1920 additions to the Somerville High School to enable the construction of the new school). Between these two parameters is considered 'preferably preserved'. In some cases, artifacts may be preserved from the structure (viz – Lion's head artifacts from Homan's Building). Preserving the (sketches and photo) images has been the most frequently applied measure to enable the preservation of history while allowing growth and community use.
· Whenever a structure is deemed either 'significant' or 'preferably preserved' there must be findings recorded as to why, and these must follow the guidelines of the Department of the Interior. This eliminates subjective opinions and supports determinations based on accepted criteria.
· The SHPC has delegated authority to the city planners to allow demolition of sheds and concrete block garages, as well as chain link fences, in the city without them coming before the commission. They are deemed to have no historic significance and are invariably designated 'not significant' by the commission. As a result 12 Concrete Block garages have been approved for demolition by staff in this 11 month period that did not come to the SHPC for deliberation.
b) Why not do a full inventory up-front?
· Cost is prohibitive. A calculation that has been published indicates a cost to the city of over $3 million even when 25% of the structures have been excluded as not fitting base criteria.
· Approximately only 0.00145% of all city structures come before the commission annually so there seems to be no compelling reason to expend scarce city resources for a city wide survey.
· Even if there was a survey, every property that the survey thought to be 'Significant' would still need to come before the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to be designated 'Significant'. This is required under the ordinance. Staff would need prepare the schedule and recommendations. This cost is excluded in all costing presented to-date (i.e. the $3+million estimate). This is an extra work load.
· An average of less than 2 properties come before the HPC monthly for determination of 'significance'. So at a maximum of 24 per annum out of more than 16,500, it is hard if not impossible to justify.
· Any applicant for a demolition permit to ISD is referred to the city planning department where they are advised of any limitations and the process. There are no surprises under this process for developers or owners, and it is seamless and transparent from ISD, through planning and to the HPC.
c) The 1985 survey was done now 38 years ago and is not to the criteria of the Secretary of the Interior. This survey was a drive-by survey basically to initially identify structures on the National Register and perhaps some other interesting structures with the intent of creating Local Historic Districts. It was incomplete and subjective, however, the structures identified were mostly then designated Local Historic Districts. Also, this drive-by survey does not consider social or cultural significance nor any changes in the intervening 38 years, (e.g., should the building on Broadway where President Obama lived in Somerville while he was going to Harvard be included). The remainder of the structures in the city (around 15,900) were not surveyed, just those on the National register and those that had kerb appeal to the surveyors.
In essence the survey was incomplete in context and scope. The scope did not consider the criteria for either 'significant' or 'Preferably preserved' and was concerned with identifying potential Local Historic Districts. It was not the true and faithful survey that is required, but did help in establishing many local historic districts.
d) Why do Serial and Partial Demolition matter?
· Serial demolition has become the norm for applicants to gradually demolish and rebuild while avoiding a demolition permit. The serial demolition clause in the draft does not prohibit serial demolition but seeks to enable the city to manage it appropriately. Frequently, many homeowners want to attack a large rehabilitation or expansion issue in stages for financial or other reasons, which is both acceptable and usual. The serial clause does not inhibit this, however, it does mean that the applicant should disclose their full intent up-front to ISD, planning and the HPC. The serial demolition clause will dissuade developers from gaming the ISD / city. The HPC is a consultative body and continually provides useful inputs to homeowners on how to preserve the historic character of their homes while renovating.
· Partial Demolition is where a substantial portion of a structure is to be demolished that represents over 25% of the whole structure. This can be calculated in the exterior elevations or volume. This does not preclude an applicant from such demolition but does seek to enable the city to manage it appropriately through ISD, planning, and HPC. For example, the demolition and subsequent rebuild of the building on the corner of Highland and Grove would have required a permit under these changes.
· It should be noted that while these clauses only apply to non-LHD structures, the structure presented in the application may be one of 'significance' to the city and not at that time designated for protection in any form. An example of this was, again the central post office in Union Square (which was not a LHD) and which was under threat but was spared by the intervention and urgent attention of Alderman White.
· It should be noted that the demolition review ordinance does not in any way inhibit additions, maintenance or renovation. Minor projects as noted in clause 2.10.5 include the ability to demolish and add under circumstances outlined without having to come before planning or HPC and can be accomplished with a Building Certificate direct from ISD.
e) Demolition Delay Period extended to 24 months maximum. The delay period is to enable the applicant and the city to work together to develop a compromise. The current 9 months has been considered by a number a developers as a simple 'cost of doing business' and they have indicated that they will just 'wait out the 9 months and then tear down the structure anyway'. This is uncontrolled development and this attitude has prompted other cities to extend their delay period as well.
The argument that the developer puts financing at risk is a bogus objection unless it comes from an incompetent business person. The professional developers that come before the HPC all have contingency clauses in their P&S contracts to enable them to rescind the contract if they cannot redevelop the site. They do their due diligence which is invariably required by any financing body. Financing does not kick in until a contract is formalized and that is usually post HPC approval to demolish and ISD issuance of a demolition permit.
The 24 months maximum gives the HPC time to negotiate a compromise with the applicant and develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as to what will happen at the site. Generally this only takes a few months and does not hold up projects, as few are 'shovel ready' at day 1.
The draft ordinance also has provision to accelerate the above process. This is Clause 7.3. It is also important because the SHPC can reach a point in discussions where proceeding without unnecessary delay makes sense. Extending the delay period to a maximum of 24 months and adding a clause to accelerate the end of the delay period are the two tools that go hand-in-hand for better management.
In order to clarify a misconception, the Demolition Review Ordinance does not apply in any way to any structure in the city that is designated as a Local Historic District (LHD). The Demolition Review ordinance only applies to structures that are NOT LHDs. There is no overlap.
Further, structures may be classified under the National Register, the State Register and also the register in our city. Because a structure is classified under one register does not mean it is necessarily classified under others.
In order to put perspective on the 1985 report you will notice that it was prepared by the 'Historic District Study Committee'. Their charter was well articulated in the document and that was to identify properties that could be designated Local Historic Districts. They collected over 1000 photos and, as you point out, identified some 500 structures. 100 or so of these are from the National Register records according to the study. Many of these properties were subsequently designated as Local Historic Districts.
The study makes no mention of the remaining 15,900 (approximately) structures that this study did not identify. It is these structures that are currently subject to demolition review if an application for demolition is made. The general demolition ordinance (current and in draft) is not in the realm of this 1985 study and was not included. (I do not know why). I have not made any attempt to deceive anyone on this (as you accuse), the 1985 is available to all to read so it would not be at all prudent to attempt to misrepresent it in any way. I am sorry that you take this unnecessary accusatory position.
The demolition review does not prohibit any additions, not does it prohibit renovations. It merely requires the applicant to present any changes before proceeding if a demolition is requested. Many renovation projects are now included under the draft ordinance in the clause 'Minor Projects'. If you check the updated ordinance draft you will note two items which I which I would like to draw your attention. Firstly, the amount of demolition of the structure is up to 50% and not 25% (as you state). Secondly, the draft ordinance changes the historic time line for consideration from 75 years to 50 years (as you state), thereby excluding many structures.
To help you understand the process — a structure may be considered 'significant' according to the criteria of the Secretary of the Interior by the commission. It may then be considered to be what is termed 'preferably preserved'. This 'preferably preserved' finding (once again under the criteria of the Secretary of the Interior) could have a range of implications. It could be considered 'significant' but not 'preferably preserved' and as such could be demolished. If 'preferably preserved' than a range of options applies. The range is between a full preservation and simply a photographic and sketch documentation with these documents and images being archived and the building demolished. In some cases, artifacts are removed and preserved fo subsequent use in memorialization. (The iron structures in Assembly Square and the more recent Lion's Head from the Homan's Building, which will soon be demolished, are examples). Sometimes the full preservation means simply moving the structure as has happened in the city. I hope this simply explains the functions of the demolition review to you. The commission works with applicants towards a mutually acceptable resolution. If you come to a commission meeting (they are public) you will see this in person.
The city planners (though I speak for them on a non-official basis) and the commission are not anti-development and do act as a consultative body providing advice and assistance where appropriate. There is no egregious use of power and no attempt to deny rights to any citizen in the city as you suggest. On the contrary, I would suggest that the city planners and commission are pro development as per the SomerVision plan. There is no conflict between historic preservation and the growth of housing – including affordable housing of which we have a dire need.
Finally, nothing has been hidden from anyone and the inference that this 1985 report on Local Historic Districts was hidden from aldermen is without basis. It is freely available and was the start of the city's Local Historic District preservation program. Please appreciate that a structure can be considered 'significant' even if it was not in a Local Historic District report executed in 1985. In the intervening period the city initiated the current Demolition Review ordinance which has been in effect now for over a decade. The Demolition Review and Local Historic District ordinances are different, address different structures and have different scope. I am not mis-stating facts and am surprised and disappointed that you would suggest this.
Property owners in Somerville should organize. The city is usurping private property owners rights, and putting in place ordinances they are contrary to the greater good of housing for all people. Their ideas run contrary to the interests of their constituents and no matter how much negative feedback, written objections, they will not reconsider what the people want. They intend to change Somerville – not for the better. To continually take the position that somerville is too dense flys in the face of everyone seeing Somerville as a desirable place to live. The proposed zoning will not result in adding more housing – to the contrary.
absolutely right Bob. Could not have said it better.

Editor's Note: The 2018 Power Washers of North America Convention will be held at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL, and will co-locate with the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association for PowerClean 2018. The stated goal: Two Teams. One Vision. Advancing the Industry Forward. For PWNA, the scheduled dates will be October 18–21. Brief biographies for each of the instructors for PWNA's educational classes are provided followed by a schedule of events.
AC Lockyer
In 1984, AC Lockyer entered high school with no real desire to graduate or excel. "I was mostly concerned with growing my hair out, playing in bands, and chasing girls." However, through a series of events, AC ended up transferring into a Horticulture 1 agriculture class—the only elective available—which led him to joining the Future Farmers of America (FFA). "That changed my life's direction forever," AC explained. By the time he graduated from high school, AC was "blessed with many FFA honors," and simultaneously—"through dual enrollment ag classes, high school classes, local ag and nursery jobs, and FFA leadership"— he gained a degree in horticulture that included 720 hours of instruction.
In 1992, AC used his background in horticulture in a unique way to approach the problem of algae streaking on roofs. Instead of utilizing traditional pressure washing equipment commonly used in the exterior cleaning industry, he went with a "completely chemical roof cleaning system" which he named the Mallard System, now referred to as "soft washing." The Mallard System approached rooftop infestations like a pest, not a stain, and treated the issue at the root of the problem—by actually killing the rooftop fungus and leaving behind inhibitors to aid in keeping the fungus from coming back.
In 2009, AC's passion for community and entrepreneurship grew, and he started brainstorming about how to help other companies utilize the soft washing process through education, equipment, chemicals, and support. Then in 2011, SoftWash Systems was born.

Currently based in Fort Worth, TX, Michael started working in his father's power wash business in 1982, building and repairing pressure washers. By the time he was just a senior in high school, Michael started his own business, Steamaway Mobile Power Wash, with a focus on fleet washing and flatwork cleaning. The business was so successful it paid all his college tuition and living expenses while Michael earned his accounting degree from the University of Texas at Arlington.
In 1995, Michael expanded Steam-away into commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning, and those efforts gained so much traction that he was able to launch a separate company now known as Facilitec Southwest.
In 2009, Michael's expertise allowed him to acquire the world-renowned Phil Ackland Training program and develop the only on-the-job, hands-on, kitchen exhaust cleaning school in North America.
In 2010, things came full circle when Michael purchased his father's business and, in one year, focused strongly on Internet commerce and successfully rebranded the company as Powerwash.com. With industry-wide expertise and experience, Michael realized a national need for power wash education and training that could help others train employees, start businesses, or increase their own profits. To that end, he founded PowerWash University in 2013, offering the most comprehensive online and hands-on, state-of-the-art power wash training programs available.

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe, по-известен като Wilhelmus, е националният химн на Кралство Нидерландия и един от най-старите химни в света. Написан е между 1568 и 1572 г. по време на Нидерландското въстание срещу Испания, посветен на водача на въстаниците, Вилхелм Орански. Предполагаемият автор е Филип ван Марникс. Химнът не е бил признат за официален до 1932 г. Въпреки това, той винаги е бил популярен сред народа, въпреки че се променя на няколко пъти по време на историята на формирането на държавата. Бил е също химн на Нидерландските Антили от 1954 до 1964 г.
