The Osage Indian murders were a series of murders of Osage Native Americans in Osage County, Oklahoma, during the 1910s–1930s; newspapers described the increasing number of unsolved murders as the Reign of Terror, lasting from 1921 to 1926. Some sixty or more wealthy, full-blood Osage Native Americans were reported killed from 1918 to 1931.[1] However, newer investigations indicate that other suspicious deaths during this time could have been misreported or covered up murders, including people who were heirs to future fortunes.[2]
Some of the murders were committed for the purposes of taking over land and wealth of Osage members, whose land was producing valuable oil and who each had headrights that earned lucrative annual royalties. Investigation by law enforcement, including the Bureau of Investigation (BOI; the preceding agency to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI) also revealed extensive corruption among local officials involved in the Osage guardian program. Most of the murders were never prosecuted, but some men were convicted and sentenced including William Hale, who ordered the murders of his nephew's wife and other members of her family, to gain control of their oil rights.
The United States Congress changed the law to prohibit non-Osage from inheriting headrights from Osage with half or more Native American ancestry. The U.S. government continued to manage the leases and royalties from oil-producing lands, and the tribe became concerned about these assets. In 2000, the Osage Nation filed a suit against the Department of the Interior, alleging that it had not adequately managed the assets and paid people the royalties they were due. The suit was settled in 2011 for $380 million and commitments to improve program management.[3][4]
Background[edit]
In 1897, oil was discovered on the Osage Indian Reservation, or present-day Osage County, Oklahoma. The U.S. Department of the Interior managed leases for oil exploration and production on land owned by the Osage Nation through the Bureau of Indian Affairs and later managed royalties, paying individual allottees. As part of the process of preparing Oklahoma for statehood, the federal government allotted 657 acres (266 ha) to each Osage on the tribal rolls in 1907; thereafter, they and their legal heirs, whether Osage or not, had "headrights" to royalties in oil production, based on their allotments of lands.[5] The headrights could be inherited by legal heirs, including non-Osage. The tribe held the mineral rights communally and paid its members by a percentage related to their holdings.
By 1920, the market for oil had grown dramatically and brought much wealth to the Osage. In 1923 alone "the tribe took in more than thirty million dollars, the equivalent today of more than four hundred million dollars."[6] People across the U.S. read about the Osage, called "the richest nation, clan or social group of any race on earth, including the whites, man for man."[1] Some Osage used their royalties to send their children to private schools; others bought fancy cars, clothes and jewelry, and traveled in Europe; and newspapers across the country covered their activities.[1] Along with tens of thousands of oil workers, the oil boom attracted many white opportunists to Osage County; as the writer Robert Allen Warrior characterizes them, some were entrepreneurial, while others were criminal, seeking to separate the Osage from their wealth by murder if necessary.[7]
Believing the Osage would not be able to manage their new wealth, or lobbied by whites who wanted a piece of the action, the United States Congress passed a law in 1921 which required that courts appoint guardians for each Osage of half-blood or more in ancestry, who would manage their royalties and financial affairs until they demonstrated "competency". Under the system, even minors who had less than half-Osage blood had to have guardians appointed, regardless of whether the minors had living parents. The courts appointed the guardians from local white lawyers or businessmen. The incentives for criminality were overwhelming; such guardians often maneuvered legally to steal Osage land, their headrights or royalties; others were suspected of murdering their charges to gain the headrights.[5][7]
At that time, eight lawyers were working in Pawhuska, the Osage County seat, which had 8,000 residents; the number of lawyers was said to be as great as Oklahoma City, which had 140,000 residents.[8] In 1924, the Department of the Interior charged two dozen guardians of Osage with corruption in the administration of their duties related to their charges, but all avoided punishment by settling out of court. These guardians were believed to have swindled their charges out of millions of dollars. In 1929, $27 million was reported as still being held by the "Guardian System", the organization set up to protect the financial interests of 883 Osage families in Osage County.[9]
Murders in Osage County[edit]
In the early 1920s, the western U.S. was shaken by the reported murders of eighteen Osage and three non-natives in Osage County within a short period of time. Colorado newspapers reported the murders as the "Reign of Terror" on the Osage reservation. Some murders seemed associated with several members of one family.
On May 27, 1921, local hunters discovered the decomposing body of 36-year-old Anna Brown in a remote ravine of Osage County.[10] Unable to find the killer, local authorities ruled her death as accidental because of alcohol poisoning and put the case aside.[11][a] Brown was divorced, so probate awarded her estate to her mother, Lizzie Q. Kyle.[12] Kelsie Morrison, a petty criminal, later admitted to murdering Brown and testified that William Hale, a prominent local cattleman, had asked him to do so.[13][b] Along with his admission, Morrison implicated Hale's nephew and Brown's ex-boyfriend, Bryan Burkhart,[14] in her murder.[15] Morrison testified that, after meeting Brown earlier at her sister Mollie's home, he and Burkhart took a heavily intoxicated Brown to Three Mile Creek, where Morrison shot and killed her.[14]
The body of another Osage, Brown's cousin Charles Whitehorn (also known as Charles Williamson), was discovered near Pawhuska on the same day as hers; Whitehorn had been shot to death.[12] Two months later, Lizzie Q. Kyle was killed as well.[c] By that time, Lizzie had headrights for herself and had inherited the headrights from her late husband and two daughters. Her heirs became fabulously wealthy.
On February 6, 1923, Henry Roan, another cousin of Brown's (also known as Henry Roan Horse), was found in his car on the Osage Reservation, dead from a shot in the head.[11] Roan also had a financial connection with Hale, having borrowed $1,200 from the cattleman. Hale fraudulently arranged to make himself the beneficiary of Roan's $25,000 life insurance policy.[17] Over a month later, on March 10, 1923, a bomb destroyed the Fairfax residence of Anna's sister Rita Smith, killing Rita and her servant, Nettie Brookshire. Rita's husband, Bill Smith, sustained massive injuries from the blast and died four days later. Shortly before his death, Bill gave a statement implicating his suspected murderers and appointed his wife's estate. Later investigations revealed that the bomb contained 5 US gallons (19 L) of nitroglycerin.[12]
On June 28, 1923, Hale and Burkhart put George Bigheart on a train to Oklahoma City to be taken to a hospital.[d][e] There, doctors suspected that he had ingested poisoned whiskey. Bigheart called attorney William "W.W." Watkins Vaughan[f] of Pawhuska, asking him to come to the hospital as soon as possible for an urgent meeting. Vaughan complied, and the two men met that night. Bigheart had said he had suspicions about who was behind the murders and had access to incriminating documents that would prove his claims. Vaughan boarded a train that night to return to Pawhuska,[19] but turned up missing the next morning when the Pullman porter went to awaken him; his berth on the train had not been used. Vaughan's body was later found with his skull crushed beside the railroad tracks near Pershing, about five miles south of Pawhuska.[16][g] Bigheart died at the hospital that same morning.
Thirteen other deaths of full-blooded Osage men and women, who had guardians appointed by the courts, were reported between 1921 and 1923. By 1925, at least sixty wealthy Osage had died and their land had been inherited or deeded to their guardians, who were local white lawyers and businessmen.[1] The Bureau of Investigation (BOI), the preceding agency to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), found a low-level market in contract killers to kill the Osage for their wealth.[1] In 1995, the writer Robert Allen Warrior wrote about walking through an Osage cemetery and seeing "the inordinate number of young people who died during that time."[7]
In 1925, Osage tribal elders, with the help of local law officer James Monroe Pyle, sought assistance from the BOI when local and state officials could not solve the rising number of murders. Pyle presented his evidence of murder and conspiracy and requested an investigation. The BOI sent Tom White to lead an investigation. Because of the large number of leads and the perception that the police were corrupt, White decided he would be the public face of the investigation while most of the agents would work undercover. The other agents recruited were: a former New Mexico sheriff; a former Texas Ranger; John Burger, who had worked on the previous investigation; Frank Smith; and John Wren, an American Indian of the Ute Nation who had previously been a spy for the Mexican revolutionaries.[20]
Investigation[edit]
The Osage Tribal Council suspected that Hale was responsible for many of the deaths. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior sent four agents to act as undercover investigators. Working for two years, the agents discovered a crime ring led by Hale, known in Osage County as the "King of the Osage Hills". Hale and his nephews, Ernest and Bryan Burkhart, had migrated from Texas to Osage County to find jobs in the oil fields. Once there, they discovered the immense wealth of members of the Osage Nation from royalties being paid from leases on oil-producing lands. Hale's goal was to gain the headrights and wealth of several tribe members, including his nephew's Osage wife, the last survivor of her family.
To gain part of the wealth, Hale persuaded Ernest to marry Mollie Kyle, a full-blooded Osage.[21] Hale then arranged for the murders of Mollie's sisters, her brother-in-law, her mother, and her cousin, Henry Roan, to cash in on the insurance policies and headrights of each family member.[21] Other witnesses and participants were murdered as investigation of the conspiracy expanded. Mollie and Ernest Burkhart inherited all of the headrights from her family. Investigators soon discovered that Mollie was already being poisoned.[13]
Charges and trials[edit]
Hale, his nephews, and one of the ranch hands they hired were charged with the murder of Mollie Kyle's family. Hale was formally charged with the murder of Roan, who had been killed on the Osage Reservation land, making it a federal crime.[11] Two of his accomplices had died before the BOI investigation was completed. Hale and his associates were convicted in state and federal trials from 1926 to 1929, which had changes of venue, hung juries, appeals, and overturned verdicts. In 1926, Ernest pleaded guilty to being part of the conspiracy.
John Ramsey confessed to participation in the murder of Roan as soon as he was arrested. He said that Hale had promised him five hundred dollars and a new car for killing Roan. Ramsey met Roan on a road outside of Fairfax, and they drank whiskey together. Then Ramsey shot Roan in the head. Subsequently, Ramsey changed his story, claiming that the actual killer was Curly Johnson. His accomplice, Bryan Burkhart, another nephew, had turned state's evidence. The trials received national newspaper and magazine coverage. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Hale, Ramsey, and Ernest Burkhart later received parole despite protests from the Osage.[13]
Various residents of Pawhuska petitioned Oklahoma Governor Jack C. Walton to conduct a full investigation of the deaths of Charles Bigheart and his attorney, William Vaughan. Walton assigned Herman Fox Davis to the investigation. Shortly after the assignment, Davis was convicted of bribery. Although Walton later pardoned Davis, the investigation of Bigheart and Vaughan was never completed.[17][h]
In the case of the Smith murders, Ernest was soon convinced that even his wife's money and his uncle's political influence could not save him. He changed his plea to guilty and asked to be sentenced to life imprisonment rather than receive the death penalty. He turned state's evidence, naming his uncle as responsible for the murder conspiracy. Ernest said that he had used a person named Henry Grammer as a go-between to hire a professional criminal named Asa "Ace" Kirby to perform the killings. Both Grammer and Kirby were killed before they could testify.[19] Ernest Burkhart's attempt to kill his wife failed. Mollie, a devout Catholic, had told her priest that she feared she was being poisoned at home. The priest told her not to touch liquor under any circumstances. He also alerted one of the FBI agents. Mollie recovered from the poison she had already consumed and (after the trials) divorced Ernest. Mollie Burkhart Cobb died of unrelated causes on June 16, 1937. Her children inherited all of her estate.[12]
In the early 1990s, journalist Dennis McAuliffe of The Washington Post investigated the suspicious death of his grandmother, Sybil Beekman Bolton, an Osage with headrights who died in 1925 at age 21. As a youth he had been told she died of kidney disease, then as a suicide. His doubts arose from a variety of conflicting evidence. In his investigation, McAuliffe found that the BOI believed that the murders of several Osage women "had been committed or ordered by their husbands."[5] Most murders of the Osage during the early 1920s went unsolved.[5] McAuliffe found that when Bolton was a minor, the court had appointed her white stepfather, attorney Arthur "A.T." Woodward, as her guardian. Woodward also served as the federally appointed Tribal Counsel,[22] and he had guardianship of four other Osage charges, each of whom had died by 1923.[1] McAuliffe learned that his grandmother's murder had been covered up by a false death certificate. He came to believe that Woodward was responsible for her death.[5] His book about his investigation, Bloodland: A Family Story of Oil, Greed and Murder on the Osage Reservation (1994), presents an account of the corruption and murders during this period.[1]
Osage County officials sought revenge against Pyle for his role in bringing the murders to light. Fearing for his life, Pyle and his wife fled to Arizona, where he again served as an officer of the law. He died there in 1942.
Change in law[edit]
To try to prevent further criminality and to protect the Osage, in 1925 Congress passed a law prohibiting non-Osage from inheriting headrights from Osage who had half or more Native American ancestry.[13][23]
Trust management lawsuit[edit]
The Department of Interior continued to manage the trust lands and pay fees to Osage with headrights. In 2000, the tribe filed a lawsuit against the department, alleging that federal government management of the trust assets had resulted in historical losses to its trust funds and interest income.[3][4] This was after a major class-action suit had been filed against the departments of Interior and Treasury in 1996 by Elouise Cobell (Blackfeet) on behalf of other Native Americans, for similar reasons.
In 2011, the U.S. government settled with the Osage for $380 million. The settlement also strengthened management of the tribe's trust assets and improved communications between the Department of Interior and the tribe.[3] The law firm representing the Osage said it was the largest trust settlement with one tribe in U.S. history.[4]
In literature and media[edit]
John Joseph Mathews (Osage) based his novel Sundown (1934) in the period of the murders.[7]
"The Osage Indian Murders", a dramatization of the case first broadcast on August 3, 1935, was the third episode of the radio series G-Men, created and produced by Phillips Lord with cooperation of the FBI. G-Men lasted 13 episodes before leaving the air in October 1935. A retooled version, Gang Busters, which dramatized cases from a number of different American law enforcement agencies rather than just the FBI, debuted the following January.
Award-winning western novelist Fred Grove, part Osage on his mother's side, was 10 years old when he was an "ear" witness to the bombing murders of Bill and Rita Smith and Nettie Brookshire. This incident haunted him. Several of his novels were based on aspects of the case: his first novel, Flame of the Osage (1958), two written in roughly the middle of his career: Warrior Road (1974) and Drums Without Warriors (1976), and one of his last, The Years of Fear (2002).
The Kyle family murders were featured as a dramatic part of the 1959 film, The FBI Story.[17]
John Hunt portrayed this period in his novel The Grey Horse Legacy (1968).[24]
Linda Hogan's Mean Spirit (1990) explores a fictionalized version of the murders.
Tom Holm's novel The Osage Rose (2008) is a fictionalized account of murders on Osage Territory intended to strip Osage members of their royalties and land.
American journalist David Grann investigates the case in his 2017 book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. The book is the basis for Martin Scorsese's next film of the same name starring Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, and Leonardo DiCaprio[25]

^ Subsequently, an autopsy revealed that the cause of Brown's death was not alcohol, but a bullet fired into the back of her head.[12]
^ Morrison received a life sentence in 1926, for his participation in the Brown murder.[13]
^ According to a 2006 article in the Tulsa World, local authorities had initially ruled that Lizzie's death due to old age.[16]
^ George Bigheart was the son of James Bigheart, the last hereditary Osage chief.[18]
^ Hale was Bigheart's neighbor and friend, and had recently been designated by the court as Bigheart's guardian.
^ The attorney's name is given as W.W. Vaughan in some sources (e.g. Fixico) and as Vaught in others (e.g. Farris). Vaughan is correct. He was sometimes called "Will". He was born on 18 May 1869 in Knox County, Kentucky; died on 29 June 1923 in Oklahoma; and was buried in Pawhuska Cemetery in Pawhuska, Osage County, Oklahoma. David Grann's book, Killers of the Flower Moon(2017), dedicates Chapter 23, "A case not closed" to W.W. Vaughan. It is clear that the man's last name is Vaughan, as Mr. Grann wrote about interviews with two of Vaughan's grandchildren, Martha and Melville.
^ The documents Bighorn had given him were missing. Vaughan's body was so badly disfigured that the coroner could not be certain whether the man had fallen off the train or else been beaten first and then pushed off. The coroner ruled the cause of death was "suspicious," but did not rule that it was murder.[5] pp. 265–266. Accessed April 28, 2016.

Build your own RFID Zapper out of a cheap disposable camera and confuse the bits out of your local superstore. Or police station. As you'll likely be invited to visit there shortly.
To keep the costs of the RFID-Zapper as low as possible, we decided to modify the electric component of a singe-use-camera with flash, as can be found almost everywhere…It generates a strong electromagnetic field with a coil, which should be placed as near to the target RFID-Tag as possible. The RFID-Tag then will receive a strong shock of energy comparable with an EMP and some part of it will blow, thus deactivating the chip forever.
RFID is the mark of the beast. One day soon, you wont be able to buy anything without having one implanted in you. It will be introduced by claiming its to prevent terrorism. It will not be manditory to get it, but without it you will not be able to pay bills, get a paycheck, buy food, ect….
The Illumanati and Builderburgs are nearing their goal.


The tech industry has software tools that can pore over a thousand images per minute and identify objects with 99-percent accuracy. The Pentagon badly wants this technology, and sees it as essential to military combat capability as bombs and missiles.
"How can I leverage the innovation happening in AI?" asked Gen. Stephen Wilson, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force.
The military and intelligence agencies have sought to bring artificial intelligence into areas like data mining and autonomous vehicles. But the demand is outpacing the supply. Human analysts are overwhelmed by the information fire hose of drone footage and satellite imagery, and machines have shown they can perform better than people in many tasks.
"An intelligence analyst gets it right 75 percent of the time," Wilson said during a recent event hosted by New America, a Washington think tank funded by Google.
The Pentagon has reached out to companies like Google for help connecting the military to the AI world. Under an initiative called Project Maven, the Defense Department and the Air Force are funding the development of AI algorithms to analyze drones' live video stream. Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google's parent company Alphabet, chairs the Defense Innovation Board. The panel of private sector and government adviser has been hugely influential in raising awareness within the Pentagon of the capabilities of AI.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told lawmakers this month that the Pentagon plans to consolidate many disjointed AI projects from across the military into a central program office. The reorganization will be led by Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Michael Griffin.
Griffin announced April 13 at a Hudson Institute event that he will oversee a "Joint Artificial Intelligence Office" and possibly stand up a similar organization for hypersonics. These offices, he said, will not replicate traditional joint program offices like the one that oversees the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Griffin has been insistent that projects need to move fast. "The U.S. has been on holiday for 25 years," he said.
So far much of the military-focused AI activity has been led by the Pentagon's Silicon Valley technology outreach office, the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental.
DIUX officials said this was one of the largest publicly available datasets of overhead imagery.
Companies in the AI and intelligence sectors called this a smart move by DIUX and NGA. To develop algorithms that are credible, companies need quality data, and the government offering it at no cost is huge, said Brady Cline, vice president of defense and intelligence at SpaceKnow.

Safety & Violence Prevention
This session will discuss best practices for creating a safe and inclusive environment and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth in schools. This session will both relate to school policies and practices that help can prevent certain kinds of violence and bullying against TGNC students, as well as cover the critical medical need for TGNC students to be treated consistently with their gender identity in all aspects of their life, including while at school.
Transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth are some of the most vulnerable students to harassment and bullying. The session will approach these topics from a legal perspective, and include a discussion of the federal laws in place protecting TGNC students' rights. We will discuss policies and practices for teachers and administrators looking to create a safer learning environment for TGNC students, as well as legal obligations to protect students from discrimination.
Transgender and gender nonconforming youth are some of the most vulnerable students to harassment and bullying, both by peers and administrators. This session will cover some common forms of harassment and discrimination that we see reported by TGNC youth in the school setting, and will discuss legal rights and best policies and practices for prevention. In particular, we will look at the ways in which TGNC youth are at risk for disparate school discipline, including enforcement of gendered dress codes, and suppression of LGBTQ related speech and expression. We will discuss legal obligations with respect to TGNC students' access sex-segregated facilities like bathrooms and locker rooms, including the negative health consequences students suffer when they are not treated the same as other students of their gender. We will also cover the ways in which students are at risk of being outed at school, which can pose a threat to their safety either at home or at school, especially in the context of names and gender markers on school records and publications. We will cover federal laws in place that protects students' rights and schools' obligations, including the First and Fourteenth amendments, Title IX, HIPPA, FERPA, and IDEA/ADA. We will cover not only the minimum legal requirements of schools, but also best policies and practices schools can implement to prevent harassment and discrimination against TGNC students. This session is aimed at K-12 teachers and administrators to learn about how they can prevent negative outcomes for TGNC students and better understand their obligations under the law. It will also be relevant to students and families looking to learn more about their legal rights in schools and legal organizations they can turn to for help.
The presenter is a legal expert in the field of sex discrimination in education, particularly surrounding rights for transgender and gender nonconforming students. The proposed solutions are supported by major medical, legal, and educational organizations around the country. There is overwhelming consensus among education and child health experts that transgender students should be treated according to their gender identity. These include statements and reports from the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Association of School Psychologists, the American School Counselor Association, the National PTA, the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. The American Academy of Pediatrics, along with 17 other major medical organizations, produced a brief in recent years explaining that accessing restrooms consistent with gender identity is essential to the physical and mental health of young people. The medical community agrees that access to sex-separated facilities consistent with gender identity is critical to the social and emotional development of transgender youth. Transgender and gender nonconforming youth face higher risks of anxiety, depression, and suicidality. Research from the CDC and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention show that these risks are made worse when young students face rejection in school, including when they are misgendered by peers or teachers or denied access to programs or facilities because they are trans. Many federal courts around the country have noted such consensus and cited expert testimony about the negative health consequences TGNC students face from school rejection in their decisions affirming students' legal rights under Title IX and the Constitution.
Shayna Medley-Warsoff is an attorney with the ACLU's national LGBT & HIV Project. She is on a two-year fellowship program, in which she focuses specifically on enforcing educational rights for trans and gender nonconforming youth. She has served as counsel on several ACLU cases representing transgender students facing discrimination, and has published law review articles on sex discrimination in the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review and the Harvard Journal of Law & Gender. Shayna is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Brandeis University.

Album Review: Northern National – The New Age (Winner of NewMusicFriday – Ep 14)
09 9:32 am
Category: Indie Rock
Northern National are a cool indie rock band. I mean all indie rock bands think they are cool with their fashion and trendy style, but seriously these guys ARE cool. You can hear in the layered sounds and pure vox that they know how to get the crowd going.
The opening track of The New Age is the title track. It feels big and energetic. There's a jam factor to it. The guitars fill the track and then some distortions make it feel mechanistic in a good way. The vocal humanizes the performance, urging the listener to live right. "No matter how you live… tell me how we can break free…" provides a sort of postmodern permissiveness about living "we run like the sun's running in our veins." It's a song that will get you amped up, even if the meaning is not totally evident.
The second track "Addiction" is certainly a timely track given the state of the world today. It's about popular addictions, but it's also about personal failings as well. It's one of those songs that's about a person… but you can't help but wonder if it's also about a substance. "We fall… we fall hard. We will kiss all our feelings away." Hmm. I'm no substance abuse expert, but it might not just be about going on a date with a pretty girl. Either way, the music hits hard and the distortion on the guitars is perfect. I can't put my finger on an era for the rock style, but it's definitely a 21st century alt rock vibe.
"Love Is Fire" seems to actually be about love… or maybe just about sex. But anyways it's a track that builds to an interesting powerful vocal. The layers of the sounds are really sort of "celebratory." The lead definitely wants to be "taken away" by the partner. What I like about the song though is that it's not sensual without being a bass-driven bump and grind song. There's a real energy behind it that gets you standing, dancing, and clapping in a pop rock way without compromising the real romantic heart of it all.
The following "FBFW" is a symbolic and interesting track. It has a cooler vibe more like a jazz rock track than some of the others on the album. The "you can't hold me down" message also is an outlier from the others on the album and, I'd say, in a good way. The cold shoulder presented in the track is welcome in what could have been just too mushy of an album. This one has a complicated reality to it. It feels like it's something that would be on one of those Abercrombie and Fitch mixtapes you'd pickup with a $36 v-neck tshirt. I mean that as a compliment, honestly.
I think the album ends on my favorite track, "Dallas." Even though the title track won the band the review, "Dallas" is a really well written song. It's got a country music core in much the same way that Green River Ordinance and Needtobreathe write with that style. The song comes back to a romantic theme with an authentic, narrative style. The song seems to be the future of Northern National, too. It's rich and real, moving beyond some of the lyrical styles of the other tracks, favoring more of a pure electric guitar and vocal simplicity. There's a focus on life, love, music, and writing that feels rewarding. I hope to hear this one live some day.
All told, this is a satisfying little album. They are all good and interesting songs, with some that are outstanding. "The New Age" and "Dallas" are definitely exceptional tracks that deserve some broader airplay. As you listen to an album like this, be sure to add it to your rotation and share with your friends. It's awesome.

But I wanted to remind you about the goodness of grace and thankfulness before I give you a few recipe options from this blog and others. After all, it was reflections on thankfulness, on being grace filled, that this blog began. Happy thanksgiving!
Here are a few choices for your thanksgiving!


Welcome, dear guest, in our BLUES PARADISE!
We are the real protagonist of this little breeding borning from love and passion of our two-legged friends, Manuela and Alessandro.
We are pampered, spoiled, reared with all the attention and periodically checked by a vet.
If you will take one of us kitten, remember that you have not taken either of goods nor a game to satisfy a whim and you must give us all the attention that we will need during our life.
Doesn't impress then if our two-legged friends before you decide to leave one of us will make you some questions to get to know you better, or if they will be happy to have a lasting contact with you even after the adoption.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (Snapdragon 865) Quick Performance Preview: Impressive
by Andrei Frumusanu on March 13, 2020 6:00 AM EST
Intro & System Performance, CPU Power GPU Performance & Power
Samsung's Galaxy S20 series phones have been available since last Friday in markets such as the US. And earlier this week we also finally received a unit, in the form of a North American, Snapdragon 865-based Galaxy S20 Ultra. While our review is already underway, we're also still waiting for public availability in Europe in order to get our hands on our Rest of World, Exynos 990 variant, so that we can take a comprehensive look at both variants of the S20 series. As we've seen in previous years, there have been some pretty significant differences between the Snapdragon and Exynos models at times, thanks to the SoC selection impacting everything from performance to image processing.
But first things first: since we have a bit of a lead time with the Snapdragon unit, we wanted to at least publish the performance figures for this model ahead of the full review, to temporarily satisfy everyone's curiosity on at least this aspect of the phone.
The Snapdragon 865 Performance Preview: Setting the Stage for Flagship Android 2020
Samsung Announces The Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra: 120Hz, 5G, Huge Batteries, Crazy Cameras and $$$
System performance of the new Galaxy S20 Ultra is an interesting topic, as there are several new aspects to this year's flagship phone. The one big difference that trumps every other addition is the fact that Samsung has been able to integrate a new 120Hz refresh rate display. This change alone puts the new S20 series far ahead of other mainstream phones in the market, and the new experience is fantastic.
Besides the new higher refresh rate screen, we're also naturally seeing the upgrade to newer generation SoCs. In this first instance, we're testing the Snapdragon 865 variant of the Galaxy S20 Ultra. For their latest flagship SoC, Qualcomm adopted the new Cortex-A77 CPU cores, promising to bring 20-25% higher performance over its predecessor.
Finally, we do have to remember that Samsung has a "performance" feature in its battery settings, which increases the aggressiveness of the scheduler to fully unlock the performance of the phone. Usually we test Samsung phones with this option enabled, both in our performance as well as battery life testing.
Starting off with our usual system performance tests, these evaluations are highly sensitive to the responsiveness of the phone, which is tied to the aggressiveness of the DVFS and scheduler of the CPUs. For the Galaxy S20 Ultra, we have four score combinations, showcasing the 60 and 120Hz modes, as well as the "High Performance" mode on or off.
The web browsing test in PCMark is quite sensitive to performance responsiveness, and in this regard, the new Snapdragon 865 doesn't disappoint. Switching between the 60 and 120Hz modes, we see a notable increase in fluidity, and this is picked up by the benchmark.
At the highest performing settings, the new Galaxy S20 Ultra even outperforms the QRD865 platform that we tested back in December. This was quite surprising, as I wasn't expecting commercial devices to ship with as aggressive settings as that phone's "Performance Mode", which did seem tad aggressive.
The video editing test has largely lost its performance scaling usefulness, but still is able to pick up the new 120Hz mode of the S20U, representing a jump ahead of any other phone in the market.
The writing sub-test is very important in terms of being a representation of every-day snappiness of a phone, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra here tops the charts, falling in line with the best scores from the QRD865 as well as now slightly leaping ahead of Huawei's Mate 30 Pro.
The photo editing test similarly is scaling up in performance across the different setting configurations, showcasing fantastic performance.
The data manipulation score also seemingly is tied to the framerate achieved during the test, and the 120Hz mode of the S20U leads all other devices.
In the overall results, no matter what setting you're using, the Galaxy S20 Ultra with the Snapdragon 865 tops all other commercially available Android phones out there, and at its peak settings, it even outperforms the QRD865 in its aggressive performance mode.
I did some quick testing of the DVFS aggressiveness between the optimized and performance modes, and was surprised to see no difference in the resulting scaling behavior. This means that the performance differences must arrive from the overall more aggressive scheduling, rather than scaling up to higher frequencies sooner. We'll go over this aspect in more detail in the full review.
In all our three web tests, we see the S20 Ultra in line with what the QRD865 was able to achieve, with some slight leads in WebXPRT 3. The Cortex-A77 seemingly doesn't improve its instruction throughput very much in high instruction pressure heavy workloads such as the web-based JS benchmarks, so that's possibly why we aren't seeing that large increases here.
CPU Performance & Power
Our power testing back in December on the QRD865 platform wasn't quite as accurate as I would have hoped for, as the phone's power management funcitonality as well PMIC calibration weren't quite polished. I had opted to publish numbers on the more pessimistic side of the scale, and I'm glad I did as it does turn out that the new chipset performs quite a bit better in actual commercial devices, including of course the S20 Ultra.
These new figures mean that the Snapdragon 865 actually does not behave as expected – we had been anticipating it requiring more power to achieve its higher performance points – and instead Qualcomm has managed to reduce absolute power all while increasing the performance. As a result, we're seeing a much larger generational improvement in the energy efficiency of the chip. The new "middle" cores of the Snapdragon 865 also outperform the performance cores of the Snapdragon 855, and that does signify for quite a large multi-threaded performance boost.
We'll be going over the detailed results as well as include an analysis of the Exynos 990 chip in our full review, but for now, it seems that the Snapdragon 865 is an excellent chipset, and will serve as a great base for 2020 devices.

Mr. Frumusanu, does Manhattan support Vulkan on Android? They don't advertise Vulkan support on Android but they do support Metal on ios. Roughly the same question for T-Rex.

Why the iPhones are only good in off-screen, its just thermal throttling or is there any other bottleneck? Anyone?

Dear Andrea, could you make an article about Snapdragon 765?
Will be great, if you will know about power consumption and power efficiency this chipset and compare this numbers with Snap 865 & 855.

I wonder why LG and Google have put a full stop on the usage of Snapdragon 865 chipsets.

Q: C++ operator overload doesnt work I have a question about operators and how to overload them. There is an example of code and I'm overloading operator<< but it doesn't work. There is class that I use:
class CStudent{ //class for students and their attributes
    int m_id;
    int m_age;
    float m_studyAverage;

    public:

    CStudent(int initId, int initAge, float initStudyAverage): m_id(initId), m_age(initAge), m_studyAverage(initStudyAverage){}

    int changeId(int newId){
        m_id = newId;
        return m_id;
    }
    int increaseAge(){
        m_age++;
        return m_age;
    }
    float changeStudyAverage(float value){
        m_studyAverage += value;
        return m_studyAverage;
    }
    void printDetails(){
        cout << m_id << endl;
        cout << m_age << endl;
        cout << m_studyAverage << endl;
    }

    friend ostream operator<< (ostream stream, const CStudent student);
};

Overload:
ostream operator<< (ostream stream, const CStudent student){
    stream << student.m_id << endl;
    stream << student.m_age << endl;
    stream << student.m_studyAverage << endl;
    return stream;
}

And there is main method:
int main(){

    CStudent peter(1564212,20,1.1);
    CStudent carl(154624,24,2.6);

    cout << "Before the change" << endl;
    peter.printDetails();
    cout << carl;

    peter.increaseAge();
    peter.changeStudyAverage(0.3);
    carl.changeId(221783);
    carl.changeStudyAverage(-1.1);

    cout << "After the change" << endl;
    peter.printDetails();
    cout << carl;

    return 0;
}

Where is the problem?

A: The problem here is you need to learn what references are and the difference between std::ostream and std::ostream& is.
std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& stream, const CStudent& student)

ENCLAVE AT RIVERDALE IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO CALL HOME! LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE OFFICE STAFF, THEY ARE ON TOP OF WORK ORDERS AND THE OFFICE STAFF IS VERY PROFESSIONAL.
Donovan and the whole staff are extremely helpful.The apts look just like the pics I am truly happy with my apt I relocated from Indianapolis and Donovan helped me every single step of the way he is such and amazing man thanks guys.
Rude office staff. No sense of customer service. Soon as you start asking questions or speaking the office staff yells at you and talk at you like you're their child. If you're having a bad day there's no need in taking it out on your paying residents. The rent we pay doesn't reflect in the respect we receive nor does the property, the units and surrounding area. Rent should be lower and all units should have been updated by now.
If you like roaches, shabby mold infested units, kids that curse more than a grown up, snakes, and no response to your complaints or service requests, move here.
A maximum of 2 pet per unit shall be accepted. The pet fee is $300 Non-Refundable per pet. A pet addendum must be completed and pet fees must be paid prior to moving in. If there is more than one pet per unit, the combined weight of the 2 pets cannot exceed 50 lbs.
Enclave at Riverdale is in the heart of the action just minutes to downtown Atlanta, Camp Creek shopping and dining and Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Our resort style community boasts world class amenities and beautifully designed apartment homes. We are proud to offer spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes in a beautiful atmosphere and convenient location.
I'm interested in Enclave at Riverdale. Please send me current availability and additional details.

Q: UItabbarController problem I have an app in which have 3 tabBarController.
I set the custom tabBarController in appDelegate file home, contact and setting tab.
When I pressed 2nd tab there are 3 buttons on the page. Any of these buttons pressed it navigate to 1st tab as I write code
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];

It's work for me fine. It navigate to first page but it show last visited view controller in 1st tab, as I need 1st tab 1st view mean root view.
please help me
thanx in advance

A: Try adding this to your button's target
[[[self.tabBarController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:0] popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];

Let me know if that works for you.
