Large trucks usually carry freight which is often large and heavy. Cargo can include things which explode, burn, are toxic or otherwise dangerous like explosives, gasoline or acid, to name just a few. These dangerous materials are referred to as hazardous materials or "hazmat" for short.
Improperly secured or tied down cargo, imbalanced loads or weight shifting of cargo can lead to disastrous crashes. In one situation which happened on Interstate 70 in Kansas an 18 wheeler was carrying a very large piece of farm equipment (a combine) on a flatbed trailer. The trailer and cargo were seen pitching badly. A few miles up the road the combine fell off the trailer and into the adjacent lane. Fortunately the combine ended up on the road surface and not another vehicle. Had it landed on a car in the adjacent traffic lane this could have been fatal or caused catastrophic injury. In another case the trailer loaded with of candy fell over on it's side crushing a car beside it resulting in the wrongful death of the occupant. These are just two examples of why it is extremely important that cargo is properly loaded and secured.
The United States government has created a comprehensive set of rules to improve truck safety. These are called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations or FMCSRs for short. Most states have similar truck safety regulations.The FMCSRs require commercial motor vehicle drivers to know how to properly handle and secure cargo and what can happen if the cargo is not properly secured.
The FMCSRs contain both general rules for preventing the loss or shifting of the load as well as very specific and detailed rules for the type and condition of equipment used to secure cargo. The FMCSR generally require cargo be secured well enough to prevent it from falling off, spilling, leaking or blowing from the truck. To avoid dangerous cargo shifting the FMCSRs require that the load be secured or immobilized well enough, so it does not affect the truck's maneuverability or stability.
The FMCSRs include detailed specifications for chains, webbing, wire rope and other gear used to tie down loads. Load limits for different types of rope, strapping, webbing, chains and tiedowns are prescribed as are the number of tiedowns. There are rules about how cargo is to be placed and restrained. For example wedges, chocks or other similar equipment is required for freight which is likely to roll.
Detailed rules for how specific kinds or cargo must be secured are included in the FMCSRs. There are specific, detailed rules for how cargo like logs, lumber, metal coils, paper rolls, concrete pipe, cars, light trucks, vans, heavy vehicles, equipment, machinery, crushed vehicles, boulders and other items must be secured. As an example, when cars are being transported at least two tie downs are required and both the front and back must be restrained so the car does not move in any direction.
In addition to properly securing the load, the FMCSRs prohibit drivers from operating commercial motor vehicles if the cargo is not properly loaded and secured as the FMCSRs require. Before driving, the driver must inspect the cargo to confirm that the loading and securement comply with the requirement of the FMCSRs. The driver is required to conduct another inspection within the first fifty miles and make any necessary changes to make sure the load cannot shift or fall off the truck. After the truck has driven 150 miles or three hours, whichever comes first, the driver is required to again inspect the cargo and make any necessary changes. There are special rules for sealed trailers.
Most trucking companies in the United States are required to follow these rules. If you were injured because the driver lost control, the truck rolled due to improperly loaded or secured cargo or items fell from the truck you may be entitled recover damages.
These federal rules are important to help reduce the number of accidents involving improper loading or cargo securement. Every year, thousands of disasters result from this unsafe practice.
The FMCSA released data from 2005 showing that some 3,000 trucks were involved in cargo securement accidents that year. The following year, the agency published a Report to Congress, stating that cargo shifting and securement issues were the primary or contributing factors in at least 7% of the 147,000 total large-truck accidents in 2006.
Jack-knifing – If a trailer truck's heavy cargo shifts in balance, the trailer may swing to one side (resembling a jackknife) and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Vehicle tipping or rollover – A weight shift in the cargo can also cause the whole vehicle to tip or roll over to one side.
Falling cargo – Transported items that come lose and fall from a truck can crush vehicles or people who happen to be behind the truck.
Spilled hazardous materials – Flammable liquids can cause fiery road accidents, and hazardous chemicals can pose serious health threats to people in the vicinity.
Because of the heavy and sometimes dangerous nature of truck cargos, the injuries in these accidents can be catastrophic. Head trauma, brain injuries, broken bones, and amputations are among them. It is also unfortunately common to find fatalities in these truck crashes.
If you or your loved one has been seriously injured in Missouri or Kansas because of a truck's improperly loaded or secured cargo, contact Flick Law Firm to help obtain the compensation you need. Our law firm is highly experienced in truck accidents, and have been winning cases like yours since 1995.

A Face for Massacres
Familiar aspects of the self are a catalyst for a chain of dream logic terrors in Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The self, both physical and mental; an unexamined every day intimacy with flesh and blood is teased out into a cunning, gleefully beautiful and grotesque nightmare. Even the extraordinary skill and talent for filmmaking on display aren't enough to account for the singular brilliance this movie achieves.
A group of two young women and three young men are on a road trip, travelling in a large green van, when they pick up a strange hitchhiker despite the misgivings of the more superstitious of the two women.
Maybe the guy isn't so strange, because despite the unaddressed red stain on his face and his jittery mannerisms, he and the paraplegic Franklin initially bond over knowledge and love of the slaughter house, taking turns admiring each other's knives before the hitchhiker shows his interest in slaughter extends not only to human flesh but to his own as he ecstatically slices his palm for them, apparently surprised and confused the action only produces horror in his audience.
And yet, later, after they've kicked out the hitchhiker and are alone, Franklin can't disguise the admiration he feels for what he saw, examining his knife with the barely concealed morbid hope he'll find a trace of the man's blood on it.
Franklin is the most developed character of the group of young travellers, the others existing as little more than types, adequate sketches to serve as point of view vessels. The bodies of the young women are emphasised, not only for their vulnerability but in order to connect sexuality to cannibalism, to show a lust for meat and bone that eclipses libido.
One of the young women, Pam, wears a halter that leaves her back totally bare. Hooper must have known this would draw the eye, and he exploits it when he has Leatherface mount her on a meat hook through her back. The connexion drawn early on between the desires of the cannibals and the normal practice of eating meat makes this peculiar imbalance of lusts seem not altogether alien, rendering it the more horrifying for it.
Visually, the film is absolutely amazing, especially considering its low budget. It was shot, by necessity, with low grain 16 mm film that required a great deal of light, creating intense contrasts for a look that was frequently replicated intentionally in films afterwards.
The effects in lighting that Hooper and cinematographer Daniel Pearl create with this look both naturalistic and fascinatingly expressionistic.
The apparently natural darkness, which must have actually been accompanied by a great deal of light so that anything would be visible at all, highlight the vulnerability of a young woman pushing a fat guy in a wheelchair through wilderness.
The entryway of the cannibals' house is really nicely conceived, looking like an open wound with pale walls leading to an off-centre room of bright red and bone.
The sudden first appearance of the piggish Leatherface makes me jump every time.
The bone sculptures of the cannibals are strangely beautiful, too, and nicely enforce the theme. But my favourite shot is Pam and Kirk approaching the cannibals' property, the foregrounded wild daisies not so much providing a contrast from the gory colouring of metal structures and equipment, but complimenting them.

The first reported game of cricket was noted in December 1832 when boys were playing cricket on Horotutu Beach in Paihia. A few years later in 1835, Charles Darwin called into the Bay of Islands on HMS Beagle on it's circumnavigation of the Earth. Darwin saw a game of cricket played between Maori slaves and the son of a missionary.
The first official recorded game of cricket took place in Wellington in December 1842. It was played between a red team and a blue team from the Wellington Club. England XI were the first team to tour New Zealand in 1863-64. The New Zealand national team played their first game in 1894 when they played New South Wales in Christchurch. They played their first two internationals against Australia in 1904-05.
As of 2019, New Zealand have played 1,324 international matches and have won 505 of these. New Zealand are ranked an impressive 2nd in Tests, 3rd in One Day Internationals and 6th in T20 Internationals. They have lost in the Final in the last two Cricket World Cups. They lost to Australia in the final in 2015 and to England in the 2019 Final.

Israel: Settlers' Champion Naftali Bennett Gets Powerful Role in New Government [VIDEO]
By Umberto Bacchi
March 14, 2013 10:22 GMT
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has brokered a coalition deal to form the first government in years without ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties, giving a prominent role to a far-right pro-settlement candidate instead.
After weeks of negotiations to break the deadlock which followed the elections on 22 January, Netanyahu's Likud Party has reportedly agreed to form a government with three other political groups.
The alliance reportedly involves the centrist Yesh Atid party, founded by former TV personality Yair Lapid, liberal movement Hatnua, headed by former minister of foreign affairs Tzipi Livni and right-wing Jewish Home (Bayit Yehudi) party, led by former soldier Naftali Bennett.
According to the coalition deal, Bennett, 40, an outsider who rocked the electoral campaign boat with a clear pro-settler agenda and youthful image that appealed to both young Israelis and ultra-Orthodox Jews, is set to become Vice Prime Minister.
The son of an immigrant from San Francisco, Bennett, 40, served in one the IDF's elite fighting units before founding a software company, Cyota, which he sold to US security firm RSA for about $145m.
Jewish Home, which won 12 seats in the 120-seat parliament or Knesset, will be put in charge of the Housing and Trade ministries.
Netanyahu's right-wing bloc won just 31 seats in the January elections, 11 fewer than it managed in the last election four years ago - forcing Netanyahu to negotiate with other parties to guarantee the requisite 61-seat majority.
The Prime Minister had to dismiss his traditional ultra-Orthodox Jewish political partners in favour of Bennett and Lapid, whose party won 19 seats.
The two charismatic newcomers have been railing against benefits granted to the ultra-Orthodox Jewish minority, such as an automatic exemption from the military draft which is highly unpopular with the wider public.
As head of the second largest party in parliament, Lapid, 49, is poised to serve as the new finance minister, and will also control the Education Ministry.
Tzipi Livni (whose party won 6 seats) is going to be appointed as Justice Minister, while Netanyahu's bloc will retain control of the powerful defence and interior ministries.
The new Israeli government is to be sworn in ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to Israel next week.
The peace-making process with Palestine will be a hot topic of discussion. Bennett, a former leader of the West Bank settlement movement, has advocated the annexation of larger parts of the West Bank to Israel and opposes any concessions to the Palestinians.
On the other hand Lapid and Livni both pledged to make serious efforts to reach peace with the Palestinians.
Livni served as the chief negotiator with the Palestinians under former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, but her work has been criticised by Jewish Home which objects to her taking the same role again.
Netanyahu has hinted he will be talking the final decision in any negotiations, which have been mired in stalemate since 2008.

The NYU Tandon Veterans Future Lab, sponsored by Barclays, is New York's first business incubator for military veterans. Located in Industry City in Brooklyn's Sunset Park, the Veterans Future Lab is part of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and is a network of innovation spaces and programs supporting early stage startups through personalized and curated support services, mentorship and resources. On Wednesday, March 27th, 41 veterans and military spouses graduated the 12-week Veterans Entrepreneurship Training (VET) program, which is a cost-free training program featuring a capstone project, hands-on experiential learning and mentorship. Lindsey Dixon, an Air Force veteran and founder of the PD Fund (www.pdfund.org), gave the graduate address and noted that most, if not all, of the companies or non-profits founded by students of the program had some aspect of service, which enabled them to continue to give back to their communities. Three companies were pitched by student graduates, which consisted of a local coffee shop to be located in East New York, a healthcare school for para-professionals and Black 6 Coffee Trading Co., which serves as a for-profit coffee company to fund the Black 6 Project, a non-profit organization providing disaster relief. We would like to congratulate all of the graduates on this significant accomplishment and wish you the best of luck on your entrepreneurial endeavors!
The Veterans Future Lab also runs the Apex program, which is a 1-year no-cost incubator for companies founded by military personnel, veterans and their spouses. The application deadline for the next Apex program is fast approaching on April 7, 2019. For more information on the VET or Apex programs, visit futurelabs.nyc/programs.

List Of Outstanding Research Paper Topics In English Literature
The biggest problem with writing a research paper in English Literature is that there is such a huge choice so the task becomes bewildering and perplexing, but hopefully these few ideas will help you make a few choices. Most of these suggestions can be adapted to either the curriculum you have been following or literary works that you have enjoyed as part of extension reading. Ideally you need to start with a broad theme and then try to focus on an area that is specific but interesting both for yourself and your reader.
Look at the gender roles. Does each of the characters follow the expectations of these roles? Make a comparison between the treatments of gender roles in a modern novel in comparison to an historical novel?
In many books or poems that appear quite straight forward on the first reading, there are actually many symbols that are hidden within the story. Give examples of the symbolism across books and poems of the same and/or different eras.
Make a comparison of the social context of two or three books. In particular look at the social behaviour expectations and behaviours of the characters in a Jane Austen Austin novel in comparison to the characters in Bridget Jones Diary.
Some classical novels and poetry will not only tell a story, but will also aim to guide the reader through the political issues of the time. How accurately are these issues reported within the work and how much relies on the readers own understanding?
Compare the treatment that the author gives to the main characters of their work are they consistent in their treatment of the characters? Compare with the work of another author who writes in the same genre.
How effectively does the author from one genre treat their reader in comparison to the author from another genre? How does an historical novelist treat their reader compared to a sci-fi author? Compare and contrast.
Some of Shakespeare's plays have been modernised (Romeo & Juliet) to name but one), how could some of his other plays cope with being treated in this way? Would the modernisation of the language detract from the story line?
Does what you take away from a piece of work depend on your own ideology or beliefs? If you were a gestalt behaviourist what would your spin on Bill Sykes if you read Oliver Twist?
How much of the author and their experiences do we actually experience when we read a novel? What is their background? Compare at least two books in this way, you may consider Emily Bronte and JK Rowling.
Consider some of the criticisms that have been made about some classical texts. Have the critics changed their views over time? If the Literature was published for the first time in this day and age would it get the same reviews?

This post is one day late, since I was 36 weeks yesterday.
I can't believe four more weeks (or maybe sooner) and I'll have baby G in my arms!
Everything is going so well. I truly feel blessed this pregnancy has been a walk in the park. I'm enjoying every minute of it. I know it may sound weird, but the other day I was thinking how I'm going to miss my big belly! It has gone so fast, sometimes I wish I could have a little more time with baby G inside my belly, feeling him move, kick, jump. I'll miss his hiccups and stretches. I'll miss how he moves every time he listens to music or when the mister talks to him. I'll miss that feeling of having a little human being growing inside me.
But of course because nothing is perfect (where is the fun in that?), I'm still experiencing some swelling. Nothing major, though. My feet and hands get swollen but my blood pressure is under control so the doctor said is nothing to worry about. A couple of weekends ago, on our way back from Sesame Place, we drove home without stopping and by the time we got home I had two big sausages as feet. It was half painful, half funny since I've never seen my feet like that. Note to ourselves: make stops when driving long distances. Basic, right? Somehow we didn't think about it.
No contractions so far. Not even Braxton Hicks contractions. If I'm having them I'm definitely not feeling them.
I pee every 15 minutes. No, really every 15 minutes.
I've gain 26 1/2 (12.05 kilos) pounds so far. I was aiming to gain under 25 pounds. But hey, baby G needs to grow and if that is what he needs, that's fine. Still 4 more weeks to go. Hopefully I won't gain too much in this final stretch.
Talking about food and cravings, now I'm eating carrots and celery with humus all the time. I guess baby G is going to be a healthy little boy!
I stopped working a little more than a week ago. It felt weird at the beginning but now I'm happy I have all this time to get everything ready.
I'm keeping up with my exercise routine. Well, at least trying. Some weights, some cardio and prenatal yoga.
The nursery is coming along and it's looking good! I love it! There are still many projects to finish like the DIY mobile, paint some frames for pictures, some pillow covers and the window valance I have to sew and the closet storage system.
My mom is coming next week! I can't be more excited.
This Saturday is my virtual baby shower. I'm really looking forward to it!
Best wishes to you and your family. I am so excited for you!

Trends in Manufacturing Inventory Efficiency: 1980-2013
Ahren Johnston, North Carolina A & T State UniversityFollow
This study was motivated by Cooke's 2013 article questioning the inclusion on inventory carrying costs in CSCMP's Annual State of Logistics Report since it is based on interest rates. This paper explores that question more fully and goes on to look at trends in inventory efficiency based on inventory turnover for U.S. manufacturing firms. Results of the study reveal that there has been a level trend between 1980 and 2013 after firm size is controlled for. Since these results are contradictory to those obtained by looking at inventory carrying costs as a percent of GDP, they suggest the need for a measure which controls for interest rate to be included in the State of Logistics Report.

On behalf of English Lloyd & Armenta posted in Workplace Injuries on Monday, March 25, 2019.
Public safety workers in California and other states are reported to be particularly vulnerable to certain injury types. Safety authorities say firefighters, EMTs and police officers suffer more musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular diseases than employees in other industries. Also, these public safety workers are often involved in auto crashes and incidents of workplace violence that cause workplace injuries.
Injury data indicates that the average number of lost workdays caused by musculoskeletal disorders in other industries is 13, while firefighters lose 15, correctional officers lose 24 and law enforcement officers lose 27 median days per year. When it comes to cardiovascular diseases, the stress experienced by public safety workers is suspected of increasing the risks of heart attacks, diabetes and hypertension. Authorities say the typical trauma and stress experienced by these workers during every shift are many times the levels suffered by other workers over time. Over half of the on-the-job fatalities among firefighters involve cardiovascular diseases.
Due to the speed with which police officers, firefighters and EMTs have to respond to incidents of public safety, many auto crashes occur. Furthermore, vehicles frequently strike first responders while they attend to victims at crash scenes. The risk of aggression at crime or accident scenes remains real, especially in areas where gangs are active. Workplace violence is also prevalent among correctional officers who are frequently the victims of assault by inmates.
Victims of workplace injuries in the public service sector of California are usually eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Some of the health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes are presumed occupational in this industry. However, some might find the benefits claims process daunting, and that is when the services of an experienced workers' compensation attorney can be invaluable.

Anatomy of a goal: Erling Haaland's acrobatic volley against Schalke
By Tom Gott
Erling Haaland was at it again / Lars Baron/Getty Images
So...this Erling Haaland kid. Pretty good, eh?
Everyone's favourite half-man half-cyborg has been at it again this week, scoring goals for fun and humiliating players literally twice his age, but there wasn't anything ordinary about his strikes in the Revierderby against Schalke.
Edin Terzic's side came into this one on a run of just one win in their last six games - form which saw their already-slim title hopes evaporate into thin air.
Terzic has struggled since taking over / Lars Baron/Getty Images
Not only are hopes of glory already gone, but the narrative has changed to the battle for Champions League football. Dortmund, who are already in a bit of a rough place financially, cannot afford to miss out on that kind of cash.
The likes of Haaland, Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham have been described as 'transferable' by the media if Dortmund don't get that sweet, sweet Champions League money, and losing their young core is a scary thought for any Dortmund fans. It's probably time to put an end to that miserable form.
Borussia Dortmund were the overwhelming favourites for their meeting with Schalke, and took a deserved lead through fellow wunderkind Sancho, who fired home from the edge of the area with a solid strike and lifted any fears that their recent underwhelming form might continue.
Now, scoring against Schalke isn't exactly the hardest thing to do these days. After all, they're bottom of the Bundesliga for a reason. However, Dortmund needed a dominant performance to serve as a pick-me-up, and thanks to Sancho and Haaland, that much-needed boost was just around the corner.
Sancho opened the scoring / Martin Rose/Getty Images
Two minutes after Sancho opened the scoring, he turned creator for Haaland. Popping up on the left, he whipped in a cross towards the sky-scraping Norwegian, but the ball was a little behind him. Haaland would have done well to just bring it under control.
Instead of taking the easier route, Haaland sensed blood. He knew there was a chance to get himself in the headlines again, and he took it.
He stepped away from his defender, catching them off-guard in the process. Nobody felt he was going to try and score, not least because of his size. There's a good reason that Mary Shelley didn't have Frankenstein's monster flipping about in the story. People that size shouldn't be able to move like that.
Having defied all expectations already in his career, Haaland made it one more as he leant back, extended a gangly leg towards the ball and executed a perfect scissor kick which ricocheted back the helpless Michael Langer, who was as surprised as anybody.
It's genuinely sickening how good this guy is already ??
Erling Braut Haaland is magic.pic.twitter.com/BIbF9pTFrq
— BT Sport (@btsport) February 20, 2021
He shouldn't be able to do that. When you're so unnaturally big and powerful, movement isn't normally your friend. The Bundesliga is full of these towering forwards, and almost all of them stand around in the box and wait for the ball to drop to their feet. That's natural.
The thing is, there's nothing natural about Haaland.
This is a player who, at 20 years old, has already made a career out of explaining the unexplainable. He shouldn't have been so good at Red Bull Salzburg, he shouldn't have taken to the Bundesliga like a duck to water and he shouldn't have the skillset that he possesses. In the nicest way possible, he's a freak.
Haaland is having the time of his life / Lars Baron/Getty Images
When things are going that well for you, you usually get one or two suitors glancing your way. For Haaland, there are about 1,000 teams begging to snap him up, and Dortmund know they are in for a real fight.
They'll need Champions League football if they are to convince Haaland that the grass isn't actually greener on the other side, and performances like this one will go a long way to helping them get there.

David Ortiz is the only current Red Sock with rings from 2004 and 2007, so it's no surprise that he wants another. If the Red Sox made it all the way, Papi would be the only person with all three.
"Oh man, you feel like Michael Jordan. He did it," Ortiz said according to MLB.com's Ian Browne, referring to the six championships Jordan won with the Chicago Bulls. "Why couldn't we? That's another level anyway."
Being in the visitor's clubhouse at Coors Field in Denver on Wednesday brought back fond memories for the slugger, memories of his second World Series ring. He told Browne how the thought of a third ring has been keeping him in good spirits as of late.
"That'd be great, man. I got to start looking for my other two, I don't know where they're at," Ortiz said. "I never wear them, though."
Ortiz has seen a lot of postseason in his career. He went with the Minnesota Twins in 2002 and with the Red Sox in '03, '04, '05, '07, and '09. And of course, that's always the goal for Big Papi. That's why the two seasons before this one were particularly bad for him.
"That stunk," Ortiz said. "Then, the funny thing about it is, the playoffs are kind of longer than ever when you're not in it. It was long, but now going to the playoffs, it's great. I get prepared to play baseball all the way through to the last day, and here we are."
Ortiz has been instrumental in every Red Sox postseason. He's a huge part of the reason that they have two World Series championships over the last 10 years. And this season is no different. Even with an achilles injury that kept him benched the first two weeks of the season, Papi has is hitting .307 with 29 home runs, 100 RBIs and a .956 OPS. Anyone who has ever seen David Ortiz pick up a bat can see that he's always swinging for the fences. Though Ortiz did mention that manager John Farrell checks up on him often.
"Once I started playing, you're not going to get me out of there," Ortiz said. "John's been really good at asking me, but once I'm in, I'm in. I don't care about anything but playing and trying to win ballgames. I was supposed to play I would say, 20 to 30 games less than what I have. That ain't me, dog. I don't buy into that."
Farrell appreciates Ortiz's attitude as well.
"I think we realized as long as he got healthy, he was going to produce," Farrell said. "Clearly he's done that. The thing that stands out to me about David is he seemingly has played with a renewed energy. There's a positivity about him -- [from] the way he's run the bases to the encouragement he's always given his teammates. I just look at a guy who is coming off a severe injury and he's appreciative of the game when it's been taken away for a little while. He's played with that renewed energy that has been awesome to see play out."
After last season in particular, 2013 has been a welcome change for all of the Red Sox, but perhaps it hasn't affected anyone quite like Ortiz. He first came to the team as they were becoming one of the decade's baseball monsters. It can't be easy being on one of the worst teams in Red Sox history after that.
So if the Red Sox can pull it off, there's nothing more that I want to see than the smile on David Ortiz's face when the final out is made.


The Trench Drain Filter is configured to fit within most fat bottomed trench drain inlets. The simple design traps sediment, trash and debris within the trench while allowing runoff water to pass through the filter and exit through the storm drain system. Trench drain filters are comprised of one or more perforated metal square tubes called debris shields and a Bypass hood assembly. The 4' long debris shield is comprised of a perforated stainless steel screen which keeps coarse material out of the filter and a replaceable filter media product for treating the water. The unique system can accept one of two treatment media types: Oil/Grease, and Phosphates/Nutrients.

Siem Reap: A Facebook account "Chin So Meth" has asked for help with an elderly American man, Michael Doore.
It is claimed that Mr. Doore was an engineer, he devoted much of his time and money to demining, and helping people suffering from landmines.
It is also claimed that the American was cheated out of all his money in a land deal that went sour, supposedly stolen by a unscrupulous lawyer.
Now, he is living in poverty and suffering with health problems. Does anyone know him, can anyone help?


Four organizations have now pledged $375,000 to a new Veterans Cemetery.
At a Wednesday presentation Avera Health made the latest donation in the amount of $250,000, according to KSFY TV.
This amount along with donations from Sanford Health, the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans will continue the work to finalize the cemetery project.
KSFY reports that Avera has agreed to donate $50,000 every year for the next five years.
The construction has not yet started, but they are currently in the process of submitting an application for a federal grant. That grant is going to be for $6 million.
Earlier this year in May Governor Dennis Daugaard signed a bill into law that paved the way for a state veteran's cemetery to be built in Sioux Falls.
The Sioux Falls City Council passed a resolution to donate at least 40 acres of land to be used for burials. The land is located north of the city off of Slip Up Creek Road.

Kituba (, ) is a widely used lingua franca in Central Africa. It is a creole language based on Kikongo, a Bantu language. It is a national language in Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Names
Kituba is known by many names among its speakers. In academic circles the language is called or Kikongo-Kituba.

In the Republic of the Congo it is called Monokutuba, a phrase which means literally "I say", and is used in the Republic's 1992 constitution. The latter means "way of speaking" and is used in the 2015 constitution.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo it is called Kikongo ya leta ("the state's Kikongo" or "Government Kikongo"), or Kikongo de L'état, shortened to Kileta. Confusingly, it is also called Kikongo, especially in areas that lack Kongo (Kikongo) speakers, namely the Kwango and Kwilu Provinces. The constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo lists "Kikongo" as one of the national languages, meaning Kituba.

There are also other historical names such as Kibula-matadi (literally "the stone-breaker's speech"), (literally "be not", "it isn't so"), Kikwango, and Kizabave (literally "do not know"), but they have largely fallen out of use.

Geographic distribution

The majority of Kituba speakers live in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is spoken as the primary lingua franca in the provinces of Kongo Central, Kwango and Kwilu and to a lesser extent in Kinshasa, Mai-Ndombe and Kasai.

Kituba is spoken in the southern of the Republic of Congo, in regions of Kouilou, Pointe-Noire, Niari, Bouenza, Lékoumou and in the capital Brazzaville. Lingala is more popular in the north.

Kituba is also spoken in the northern part of Angola, since modern nations cut across the lines of tribal areas and ancient kingdoms, and northern Angola borders the Kwango Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo which is a strong Kituba-speaking area.

Although mutually intelligible, there are differences, mainly in vocabulary, between the eastern and western areas of The Democratic Republic of Congo, and still more between the Kituba spoken there and that spoken in Congo-Brazzaville (Republic of Congo).

Official status
Kituba is a national language in the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In practice the term national language means that it is a language of regional administration, elementary education, and business.

A national language is also one that is used for public and mass communication. National public radios and televisions in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in the Republic of Congo use Kituba as one of their main languages for evening news.

History
There are several theories on how Kituba came into being. One theory claims that it had already evolved at the time of the Kongo Kingdom as a simplified interdialectal trade language, which the European colonists subsequently took into use for regional administration. Another theory claims that a simplified trade language called Kifyoti was developed at the Portuguese coastal trading 18
post and it was later spread upstream by the Christian missionaries to the region between the Kwango and the Kasai rivers where it evolved further (hence the name Kikwango). Yet another theory emphasizes the construction of the Matadi-Kinshasa railroad at the end of the 1800s, which involved forced labour from West Africa, lower Congo, and the neighbouring Bandundu region. The workers had diverse linguistic backgrounds which gave birth to a grammatically simplified language.

Harold W. Fehdereau, a linguist and missionary, carried out a major linguistic survey of Kituba-speaking areas under the joint auspices of the American Bible Society and the American Mennonite Brethren Mission. He published his work in a Kituba-French-English dictionary in 1969.  He traced the development of Kituba back to the 1800's or earlier, necessitated by the inter-tribal needs of the Congolese themselves, and later, their relationship with slave traders.  Then in the early 1900's, the Belgian and French colonization of the area brought further need for a convenient language of communication with the Congolese. He admits that we do not have a very complete picture of the development of Kituba before the 1930's, when it came into wide use by Christian missionaries.  He notes that many today have grown up knowing Kituba as their mother tongue, and at the same time, it has reached some complexity of grammar unusual to pidgin languages.  He notes that there is an increasing tendency, particularly in the western Kituba-speaking region, to borrow words from French, adding Kituba prefixes and suffixes for everyday usage.

Regardless of the genesis, Kituba established itself in the large towns that were found during the colonial period between 1885 and 1960. Kituba is spoken as the primary language in the large Bakongo cities of Moanda, Boma, Matadi, Pointe-Noire, Dolisie, Nkayi, and Brazzaville and also in large non-Bakongo cities of Bandundu, Kikwit, and Ilebo.  It is the main language spoken throughout the modern provinces of Kwango and Kasai.  A dialect called 'Monokutuba' is spoken in Congo-Brazzaville (Republic of Congo).

The first portions of the Bible were published in 1934, followed by the New Testament in 1950.  A revision was published in 1957.  The complete Bible was published in 1982, all by the Bible Society of Congo.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has published a translation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Kituba.

Differences between Kikongo and Kituba
Some examples of differences between Kikongo (Kisikongo, Kizombo, Kisolongo, Iwoyo, Kiyombe, Kisingombe, Kintandu, Kimanianga, Kindibu, Civili, Tsiladi (Lari), etc.) and Kituba (or Kikongo ya leta, Munukutuba, Monokutuba):

1. Conjugation : In Kikongo (Kisikongo, Kizombo, Kisolongo, Iwoyo, Kiyombe, Kisingombe, Kintandu, Kimanianga, Kindibu, Civili, Tsiladi (Lari), etc.), the conjugation of a tense to different persons is done by changing verbal prefixes contrary to kituba (or kikongo ya leta, monokutuba, munukutuba) (see below).

Example : verb To Be conjugated in the present in Kikongo (Vili and Ibinda) and Kituba :

2. Negative form

3. The way to say I love you is different :

4. Noun classes : noun prefixes are not completely the same (cf. the Kikongo and Kituba grammars)

Phonology

Vowels
Kituba has five vowel phonemes: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/. They are very similar to the vowels of Spanish and Italian. Vowels are never reduced, regardless of stress. The vowels are pronounced as follows:
 /a/ is pronounced like the "a" in father
 /e/ is pronounced like the "e" in bed
 /i/ is pronounced like the "i" in ski or ring
 /o/ is pronounced like the first part of the "o" in home, or like a tenser version of "o" in "lot"
 /u/ is pronounced like the "oo" of fool

Consonants

Notes
 Word-initial voiceless prenasalized consonants are reduced to simple consonants in some dialects: and become and in Kituba of Pointe-Noire.
 Some dialects add stop to prenasalized alveolar fricatives: and become and ndzila.
 Alveolar fricatives may become postalveolar ( or ) before /i/.

Grammar

Pronouns
Kituba has subject and object pronouns. The object pronouns are used in place of subject pronouns when the subject is being emphasized.

Nouns
Kituba has kept by and large the noun classes of ethnic Kikongo with some modifications. The classes 9 and 11 have in effect merged with the singular class with zero prefix, and their plural is formed with generic plural class prefix ba-.

Verbs
Kituba has a well-developed verbal system involving grammatical tense and aspect. Most verb forms have long and short versions. The long forms are used in formal written communication whereas the short forms have developed for spoken communication.

The irregular conjugation of the verb or (to be) is presented in the table below. It is the only irregular verb in Kituba.

All other verbs are conjugated with the help of auxiliary verbs. The conjugation of the verb (to do) is presented in the table below.

Voice

The suffix indicating voice is adding after the verb root and before the suffix indicating tense.

The most common forms are "ila", indicating action to or toward someone, and "ana", indicating mutual or reciprocal action:

Kutanga "to read", Tangila "read to", Tangilaka "read to" (past)

Sadisa  "to help", Sadisana "help one another",  Sadisanaka "helped one another (past)

Dictionary
A Kituba-English-French dictionary compiled by linguist Harold W. Fehderau, Ph.D., was published in 1969.  It is not widely available.

Lexicon
The bulk of Kituba words come from Kikongo. Other Bantu languages have influenced it as well, including Kiyaka, Kimbala, Kisongo, Kiyansi, Lingala, and Swahili. In addition, many words have been borrowed from French, Portuguese, and English.  These include:
 sandúku (Swah. sanduku) "box", the Swahili word comes from Arabic صندوق (ṣandūq)
 matáta (Swah. matata) "trouble"
 letá (Fr. l'état) "state"
 kamiyó (Fr. camion) "truck"
 sodá/solodá (Fr. soldat) "soldier"
 masínu (Fr. machine) "machine"
 mísa (Port. missa) "mass"
 kilápi (Port. lápis) "pen"
 katekisimu (Eng. catechism)
 bóyi (Eng. houseboy)
 sapatu (Port. sapato)  "shoe"
 mesa (Port. mesa) "table"
 dikopa (Port. copa) "cup"
 simisi (Fr. chemise) "shirt"

Sample text
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights translates to:
Bantu nyonso, na mbutukulu kevwandaka na kimpwanza ya bawu, ngenda mpe baluve ya  mutindu mosi.  Mayela na mbanzulu ke na bawu, ni yawu yina bafwana kusalasana na bumpangi.
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Literature

In 2018, a book (Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela: Mbandu ya luzingu by Protais Yumbi) written in Kikongo ya Leta was nominated for the Grand Prix of Literary Associations.A hymnbook, 'Bankunga ya Kintwadi'(Songs of Fellowship) was published in 1988 by the Mennonite Brethren Mission.  It is widely used by numerous Protestant denominations.
Almost a hundred Kituba-language books and articles have been published by Every Child Ministries' Mwinda Project.  These include articles on Christian education, Bible lessons for children and youth, teacher training, health, and a variety of other topics.  These are available on-line and at bookstores and libraries within the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This is a good place to have a rest. I've powered through the last 100 strips in since February doing five a week. It's been tough and often forced. Even so, I'm happy with at least as many comics as I hate.
I hope it was sometimes worthwhile to check out my strip, be it every day or reading five at the end of the week or once in a while or however you like to consume your internet content. As always, thanks for reading, guys. From here, I'll do a special 200 comic and then go back to 2 or 3 a week.
Finally, I have another big comic project being released in a week or so - I will either upload it here directly or post a redirect, so stay tuned.


An excursion to Mirador del Rio is always worthwhile. One does not even have to be following the tracks of Cesár Manrique (the builder) in order to enjoy this place.
Located on one of the most beautiful vantage points on the Risco de Famara, one has a fantastic view of the neighboring island La Graciosa and the smaller islands of Montaña Clara, Alegranza and the little rock Roque del Oeste.
Here, like in a cave, Manrique has created a light-flooded space which almost naturally rises up over the mighty Risco de Famara. Enjoy the grandiose view over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.
From the terrace one can see the lonely Playa del Risco almost 500 m straight down. The panoramic view stretches from the Fire Mountains in southern Lanzarote to the little lighthouse Punta Fariones, the northern most point on the island.
In spite of the many tourists that one always encounters there, a visit at the Mirador remains an unforgettable experience.

I don't know about y'all, but I am always on the hunt for cute & affordable clothes for the boys. Everyone always talks about how fun baby girls are to dress, but there's something about baby boy clothes that are just so dang sweet. It's really a fine line though, since they usually grow out of clothes so quickly, I never want to spend a lot of money on one item of clothing.
I recently discovered lavendersun on Instagram after they reached out to me to try out some of their baby apparel, and they have really cute stuff! Best of all, it's super affordable!
I decided to pick up this little Avengers romper for Lo. Big Marvel fans over here in this house (I mean, have you guys seen Infinity War? or Thor…my personal fave. Good stuff!) I was super excited about this little outfit & figured Brandon would be as well 🙂 This romper was around $14.
I also got this little mama's boy outfit for Lo, because honestly you can never have too many mama's boy outfits, am I right? #boymom I loved the print on the pants too. The shirt and the pants sell together for around $15. I ordered size 12-18 months in both outfits and found that they run pretty true to size.
If you guys are looking to get some really unique clothes for your little one (they have both boys & girls baby & toddler clothing) y'all should definitely check out lavendersun!

10 Symbols of Manchester
United Kingdom / Manchester
Meet the "capital" of the English north: a great history, a very particular identity, and a lively night life with an industrial landscape!
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share via Email
Meet the "capital" of the English north: a great history, a very particular identity, and a lively night life.
Over the centuries, this quintessentially industrial city also became an important centre for culture and academic institutions. The University of Manchester stands out not only because of its quality of teaching, but also because it houses the Manchester Museum, known for its Neo-Gothic building and Archaeology and Natural History collections that include Egyptian mummies, corals and dinosaur skeletons. The campus also includes another important institution, the Whitworth Art Gallery.
Royal Exchange Theatre
Built during the 19th Century, the former (Manchester Royal Exchange) was the city's main trade centre. Today, the building is a Neoclassical and Victorian landmark and houses Manchester's main theatre, the Royal Exchange Theatre.
Manchester Cathedral
A striking Gothic religious building located in the city centre, Manchester Cathedral's origins can be traced back to an old 11th Century Saxon church. It stands out because of its massive nave that includes 30 misericords as well as modern stained glass decorations that replaced older 19th Century works destroyed during the Second World War.
New Manchester
Built over Manchester's old industrial dock area, the Salford Quays represent the new face of the city. Take in the futuristic architecture, enjoy the programme of The Lowry cultural centre, or visit 81 hectares of studios and sets at MediaCityUK, the BBC's northern headquarters.
The people's tongue
One can recognise a Manchester native by his or her speech: this is, after all, the home of Mancunian, an English dialect known for its over-enunciated vowels and creative idiomatic expressions. Many locals, as a matter of identity and pride, don't make any effort to disguise their accent, which is becoming increasingly popular in the rest of Great Britain anyway!
The King of Sports!
Old Trafford Stadium
Manchester's identity and daily life are closely connected to football. Two champion clubs representing the city — Manchester United and Manchester City — are a source of both pride and rivalries. For many people, coming to Manchester and not seeing the football museum at the Old Trafford (Manchester United's stadium) is nothing less than a sacrilege!
The Town Hall and the Centre
Manchester Town Hall
Manchester Town Hall, located in Albert Square, is another Victorian landmark that deserves a guided visit. Close by, you find the Albert Memorial and the Cenotaph, a monument to the victims of the First World War. Nearby, at Saint Peter's Square, you can visit the Central Library, a Neoclassical building inspired by Rome's Pantheon. To the north, you can visit the People's History Museum and learn about the history of English democracy over the last 200 years of Industrial Revolution, wars and changes.
The Old Pub
Old Wellington Inn
Stroll by Shambles Square and visit the Old Wellington Inn — dating from the 16th Century, this pub is one of Manchester's oldest buildings, a fine example of Renaissance era architecture… and a great place to have a cold beer the old fashioned way!
Castlefield
We can travel through most of the city's history in a single place: Castlefield. Here stands the Roman Fort of Mancunium, a 1st Century settlement that would later become Manchester. We can also find signs of the Industrial Revolution that has forever changed the English way of life: the 18th Century Bridgewater Canal, a water transport route for coal and other products, and the world's first railway, dating from 1830. To find out more, visit the nearby MoSI (the Museum of Science and Industry).
During the 1980's and early 1990's, the city stood out for its vibrant music scene — "Madchester". This was the birthplace of essential pop/rock artists from that era, such as Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays and The Smiths. This was also the time when the repetitive beats of house music could be heard until dawn. The epicentre of this euphoria, the Hacienda nightclub, is now gone. But the pulse of the Manchester night can still be felt in its central music venues, at the Gay Village and Northern Quarter bars and clubs, and at The Locks, a former industrial and railroad site that has become a lively nightspot.

The Impact of Immigration on Firm-level Offshoring
William W. Olney, Dario Pozzoli
Økonomisk Institut
This paper studies the relationship between immigration and offshoring by examining whether an influx of foreign workers reduces the need for firms to relocate jobs abroad. Using a Danish natural experiment and their employer-employee matched data set covering the universe of workers and firms (1995–2011), our findings show that an exogenous influx of immigrants into a municipality reduces firm-level offshoring at both the extensive and intensive margins. While the multilateral relationship is negative, a subsequent bilateral analysis shows that immigrants have connections in their country of origin that increase the likelihood that firms offshore to that particular foreign country.
