Q: How to get the name of the Parent component in Child component in angular 2? Suppose I have three components: C1, C2, and C3.
I want to make C2 the child of both C1 and C3.
And according to the fact which component is the parent of C2 want to show HTML text - "C1 is my parent" or "c3 is my parent".
This is the superficial form of my problem.
I want to access the name of the parent component in c2, then will change its innerHTML accordingly.
How to access the name of the parent component in angular2?

A: You can simply pass something that will describe your parent component to a child by @Input.
Example of child component:
@Component({
  selector: 'child',
  template: `
    <div>{{ parentName }} is my parent</div>
  `,
})
export class ChildComponent {
  @Input() parentName: string;
}

First parent:
@Component({
  selector: 'first-parent',
  template: `
    <child-component parentName="'first-parent-component'" />
  `,
})
export class FirstParentComponent {
}

Second parent:
@Component({
  selector: 'second-parent',
  template: `
    <child-component parentName="'second-parent-component'" />
  `,
})
export class SecondParentComponent {
}

Q: How can I show an element with Google Script when trying to make HTML spinner visible? I am trying to show a spinning loader when a button is pushed. These have no impact:
document.getElementsByClass('loader')[0].style.visibility = 'visible';

document.getElementsByClass('loader').style.visibility = 'visible';

What am I doing wrong?
html code

    <base target="_top">

Working

test to unhide loader

<button onclick="clickMe(); return false;">Look up my personal link</button>

Code
function doGet(e) {
  return HtmlService
    .createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index.html')
    .setTitle("Hello World Example");//We can set title from here
}

function ChgNm(){
  return "changed the name"
}

A: You have 2 mistakes.
getElementsByClass() is not a function. Replace it with getElementsByClassName() like this:
document.getElementsByClassName('loader')[0].style.visibility = 'visible';
visibility : hidden is a CSS property, so it is supposed to go inside the style attribute, like this:

SQL Databases are typically used as the back-end for line of business applications such as ERP or Finance systems; or as the back-end for transactional systems; or for BI and reporting purposes.
Running SQL workloads in Azure allows you to achieve all of these objectives, and there are three different deployment options. Which one is right for you will depend on your workload and your objectives, we'll describe the options below and then discuss the pros and cons of each.
If you are currently running SQL Server on a Physical or Virtual Server on-premise or at a hosting facility, then moving this to a Virtual Machine in Azure is logically identical – it is exactly the same SQL server with whatever customisations you have and functionality you are using – just running somewhere else. However you gain the benefits of using Azure.
So this is a good option for migrating on-premise SQL Server databases and applications without any database changes.
This is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployment where you are managing the Virtual Machine from the Operating System and up.
This is "Database as a Service" and there is no server for you to manage – it is all done for you by the Azure platform. You just get a SQL database and deploy as many or as few databases as you want and just pay for what you use. You can deploy databases individually and choose the level of compute resources you allocate to them – which can be scaled up or out. Or you can deploy multiple databases into an elastic pool and choose the level of compute resources you allocate to the pool and Azure will manage the resources that each database gets.
This Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering is optimised to reduce the cost of provisioning and managing many databases (you don't have to manage VMs, operating systems, SQL Server, upgrades, high availability or backups). However it doesn't have full feature parity with your own instance of SQL Server that you would run on-premise or in an Azure VM (above).
So it is well suited to new application developments where the application can be designed to take advantage of all the benefits and not be constrained by the lack of full feature parity.
Depending on what features your on-premise SQL server and databases you may be able to migrate to this service without any changes, or you may need to make some changes. It should also be noted that Microsoft are reducing the feature parity gap between a full SQL Server instance and Azure SQL Database all the time.
We can help you assess this, and then migrate if you choose to.
This is also a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering and gives you the best of both worlds – i.e. near 100% feature parity with a full SQL Server Instance and everything is managed for you as in the Azure SQL Database option above.
So this option is ideal for migrating on-premise SQL Server workloads with minimal database changes.
If you are considering migrating some of your existing SQL workloads to Azure, or deploying some new ones, then please contact us and we'll be happy to help you evaluate the options free of charge. We have helped lots of our customers to migrate and deploy SQL workloads into Azure in the both the IaaS and PaaS models.
If you are running any instances of SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2, then you may be aware that Microsoft are withdrawing support for that on 9th July 2019 – this means there will be no more security updates for it after that date, this would leave your business exposed from a security and compliance perspective.
So you will need to plan for this now.
Free extended security updates for 3 years for SQL Server 2008 and R2 if you lift and shift your server to a Virtual Machine in Azure. This buys you time to complete the upgrade. If you have Software Assurance you can also bring your SQL Server license(s) and use them in Azure and thus only pay for the compute costs of the VM(s).
If you would like to discuss this, then please contact us and we'll be happy to help you evaluate your options at no charge.

Homes in this Sechelt neighbourhood were evacuated after a sinkhole made them unsafe in February 2019. (Google Maps)
Developer, government deny negligence in Sechelt sinkhole lawsuit
Homes in a Sechelt neighbourhood were evacuated due to a sinkhole in February 2019
Nov. 7, 2019 3:50 p.m.
No one is accepting responsibility for the 12 homes evacuated as a result of a sinkhole in Sechelt earlier this year, a series of court documents show.
The documents, the last of which were filed on Oct. 31, represent the legal action taken by two people who were forced to leave their home after a sinkhole developed in the Sunshine Coast community in February. The homes in the affected subdivision were valued at around $1 million each.

Rodney Burwell Goy and Donna Lynn Goy submitted a notice of civil claim in August, alleging the District of Sechelt, the province, developer Concordia Seawatch Ltd. and two co-owners Ronald Davis and Ronald Antalek, and Hollywell Properties and real estate agents Barbie Whitworth and Shay Moudahi, were negligent in developing, building and selling the home to the couple.
The civil suit takes aim at Concordia Seawatch, alleging that during initial construction in fall 2005, the land showed "numerous sinkholes and other incidents of landslip, soil subsidence and similar geotechnical events."
The Goys allege the municipality was "actively involved" in monitoring and assessing geotechnical conditions. Specifically, they claim the district directed Concordia Seawatch to "repair sinkholes and remedy conditions that rendered the lands potentially unstable."
The civil claim notes that after a 2013 report warning of the issues with the land, the district had a duty to warn prospective buyers of the full extent of the problems, "which it knew had occurred on the Seawatch Lands since 2oo5."
The couple bought the property in 2013, and claim the real estate agents "were personally aware" of the severity of the geotechnical problems, as well as the future risks.
The Goys have asked for general and special damages against all defendants, and punitive damages against all parties except the real estate agents in compensation for their financial losses.
In response, the province alleges the Goys "knew or ought to have known" about the geotechnical issues, particularly sinkholes, to which the property was prone. The municipality, meanwhile, claims its decision to approve the development depended on Concordia Seawatch's geotechnical reports.
For its part, Concordia Seawatch claims the contract the Goys signed had said the buyers are aware of and acknowledge its "geotechnical latent defect." The developer denies negligence, and argues the district had other geotechnical information on the land that it "had a duty to share."
Finally, the real estate agents deny negligence and claim the Goys failed to review geotechnical reports and documents that were provided to them or that they could have obtained with "reasonable" due diligence.
None of the claims has been proven in court.

Social media has had a huge impact on how we shop for our clothes. One minute you could be scrolling through your Instagram feed or flicking through the digital copy of your favorite fashion magazine and the next, with one simple tap, you could be ordering one of the items that caught your eye. It is THAT easy to purchase clothing these days and while it is brilliant to have so much choice and is liberating to be able to shop wherever you are, at any time of the day, it's a risky business. Many of us aren't getting it right and are losing money (and confidence) in the process.
I purchase most of my wardrobe online and have done for some time now. It's partly due to the fact that the choice of shops is somewhat limited where I live, but it's also because I love my British brands and, living in the USA, these are rarely available offline. I also offer online styling packages as part of my Personal Styling business so I have a ton of experience when it comes to shopping online, successfully. So if you're looking for some guidance on shopping online like a pro, look no further. This article lists the pro's and con's to online shopping and shares 5 tips to getting it right.
Retailers sometimes offer Web Exclusives -which are items and discounts that are only available to the online shopper.
Clothes are often showcased on a person rather than hanging limply on a hanger which makes is easier to get a feel for what the item will look like on.
Sometimes there's even a video of a model strutting her stuff in the clothing which gives us an even more realistic view of the item.
You can read other buyers reviews to give you an idea if the fit runs true to size, how it washes, and how it looks and feels in comparison to what it looks like on the screen.
You'll often be given suggestions for other items you might like, items that are similar to those you've already looked at and while I know this can be annoying, it can also be a great way to discover items you might otherwise have missed.
Sometimes, shopping online is a sneaky way to get round stingy in store refund policies. There are a few stores (not many, and certainly not in the USA where returns policies are far more generous than in the UK) that won't offer refunds on stock purchased in store. However, if you purchase an item online from the retails website, then often you are able to return the item to a store for a full refund if it's not right. Yes, I know that this post is supposed to help you make purchases that don't need to be returned, but there will be some instances when you will have to try an item on at home before you can decide if it's right.
You can't feel the fabric so it can be difficult to know how an item will move or what it will feel like on.
It's very difficult to get an exact representation of the color, so you won't really know what the color is like until it arrives on your doorstep.
Some online stores are styled to perfection, so much so that when you receive your new clothing, you're wondering if it's the same item you saw online.
Even with customer reviews it can be hard to gauge what size to go for without trying an item on.
You'll often find yourself paying extra for delivery.
And if the item's not right and you want to send it back there's a chance you'll be hit with a shipping fee to return it. Even if you're not, you'll still need to find time in the day to drop it off at a post office (although, some stores now offer free pick up which is bloody brilliant!).
It's very easy to purchase things you don't really need.
So how do you get round these?
Know your fabrics. As you're unable to feel the item it helps to have a basic understanding of different fabrics such as how they look and feel, and how they wear. If you think you might need a little help with this, you can download this printable.
Make sure you read the buyer reviews if there are any. It's a fantastic way to truly find out what product is like.
Some sites encourage shoppers to share photos of themselves wearing the items they've purchased and I find this a great help as I can see what it looks like on a range of different body shapes and sizes, and get a little inspiration on how I might wear it.
Get to know what the sizing is like in your favorite stores – some will run true to size, while other sill run smaller or larger than average. On top of that, you'll find that some stores have a variety of collections which have slightly different sizing. For example, on of my favorite stores, Zara, has a few different collections – TRF, Woman and Collection. TRF runs on the small side, where as Collection is a little more generous. If you have this information at your fingertips, you'll be able to make more informed decision when choosing what size to go for!
Look for the size guide. Almost all online retailers have a size guide to help you choose the right size for you, and some even have a guide for each brand they carry to further guide you towards the right size.
Have a quick scan online for coupon codes before hitting 'Pay now' – I've often found discount codes for free shipping or 10% off.
At the end of the day retailers don't want you to return your purchases so are getting better and better at pointing you towards the right clothing, in the right size. So make sure you utilize all the help they offer.
However, if you're still not getting it right or don't have the time for it, then let me help you! I offer a range of online shopping packages that will help you find the perfect pieces and save time doing it, just get in touch to find out more!
Do you shop online much? How often do you find yourself having to return items? Maybe you've nailed online shopping?! As always, join in the conversation by commenting below…I love chatting with you guys!

Hey you. Yes you. Do you know many words that begin with a C?
I bet Courage isn't first on your list.
Courage is one of those C words that might make you do crazy things.
Either stand up for something you believe in or maybe you have courage to not do something your heart is telling you might not be the best idea. All I know is I want more of it.
I don't have many words to describe what I did, because really you just had to be there. I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Chattanooga, TN for a Christian Women's Conference. It was no accident that I was there. I was suppose to be there. The amazing women of Three Stands Inc. invited and paid for everything for birth moms. How incredibly awesome are they!
Little did I know how this conference would greatly impact my life. Have you ever been to an event, heard someone speak, or listened to a song and it completely moved your soul?
After it was over I was emotionally drained yet so spiritually uplifted and inspired. This was an all day conference complete with worship music, speakers, non-profit organization vendors and boxed lunches due to the crazy thunderstorm.
The women chosen to share their testimonies and stories were phenomenally courageous it was unbelievable. They poured out their hearts to complete strangers. So raw and real. Their stories about abuse, brokenness, pain, loss, suffering, then God shows himself and turns their brokenness into healing, joy, and happiness. With courage and faith their lives were changed.
Sibi Riffer the incredible christian speaker and blogger over at Pearls and Grace who was the mastermind behind the conference spoke straight to my heart.
She said, "All of your suffering and what you have been through is for someone else's breakthrough." How profound is that?!
Honestly, think about it. Everything I have been through. My birth, abuse, an unplanned pregnancy, Tally's adoption. My story- will help someone else. I just have to have the courage to share it. That doesn't go just for me though...that also goes for you too.
Every struggle, crisis, heartbreak, challenge, and obstacle you have ever faced, if you just reach down into your soul and pull out that courage and share it for good. You can change someone's life.


When conventional techniques are employed in the quantitative analysis of phase contrast magnitude Magnetic Resonance (MR) data, the results obtained are biased. The bias is due to the contributions from inherent random noise. To remove this bias, knowledge of the actual shape of the data probability density function becomes essential. In the present work, the full knowledge of the probability distribution of the phase contrast magnitude MR data is exploited for optimal estimation of the underlying signal.

While I don't promote vandalism or destruction of property sometimes a simple idea does more than was intended in this case throwing away the trash just got a bit more fun and a town has rallied together to simply ENJOY IT !
It seems residents are scratching their heads after ten of the uber popular yellow characters from smash hit film Despicable Me showed up seemingly overnight and took over the town. Locals of Peacehaven, East Sussex, have no idea who painted the bins to look like Minions – and even attached trademark goggle-eyes and arms.
The garbage receptacles, aptly renamed "Binions", have been spotted everywhere. Nobody knows who is behind the prank that became apparent earlier this week.

In the section on preparing talent, we discussed how to record your script in short sections. If the editor were to stitch these sections together side-by-side, the subject's face and hands might abruptly switch between clips. This is called a jump cut, and for editors, it poses an interesting challenge. Thankfully, this is where b-roll comes in handy, to mask these jump cuts.
In the last 10 years, the digital landscape has changed significantly. People are phasing out desktop and laptop computers to search the web and interact with content. Instead, they are picking up their mobile phones and tablets. What's more, digital technology is cheaper today than it's ever been before; there are virtually no boundaries on how, when and where people can interact with content.
Facebook had an estimated 144.27 million views in 2016, approximately 12.9 million per month.[109] Despite this high volume of traffic, very little has been done to protect the millions of users who log on to Facebook and other social media platforms each month. President Barack Obama tried to work with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to attempt to regulate data mining. He proposed the Privacy Bill of Rights, which would protect the average user from having their private information downloaded and shared with third party companies. The proposed laws would give the consumer more control over what information companies can collect.[107] President Obama was unable to pass most of these laws through congress, and it is unsure what President Trump will do with regards to social media marketing ethics.
One way marketers can reach out to consumers, and understand their thought process is through what is called an empathy map. An empathy map is a four step process. The first step is through asking questions that the consumer would be thinking in their demographic. The second step is to describe the feelings that the consumer may be having. The third step is to think about what the consumer would say in their situation. The final step is to imagine what the consumer will try to do based on the other three steps. This map is so marketing teams can put themselves in their target demographics shoes.[69] Web Analytics are also a very important way to understand consumers. They show the habits that people have online for each website.[70] One particular form of these analytics is predictive analytics which helps marketers figure out what route consumers are on. This uses the information gathered from other analytics, and then creates different predictions of what people will do so that companies can strategize on what to do next, according to the peoples trends.[71]
As practice, try telling a story with your b-roll and planning out a shot sequence. For example, your subject might open a door from the hallway, walk into their office space, sit down at their desk, open their laptop, and begin typing. Seems simple, right? But a shot sequence showing this 10 second scenario might consist of six or more different b-roll clips.
Content marketing is more than just blogging. When executed correctly, content including articles, guides (like this one), webinars, and videos can be powerful growth drivers for your business. Focus on building trust and producing amazing quality. And most of all, make sure that you're capturing the right metrics. Create content to generate ROI. Measure the right results. This guide will teach you how. Get Started

Illinois serves the world by creating knowledge, preparing students for lives of impact, and finding solutions to critical societal needs.
The code of ethics that is affiliated with traditional marketing can also be applied to social media. However, with social media being so personal and international, there is another list of complications and challenges that come along with being ethical online. With the invention of social media, the marketer no longer has to focus solely on the basic demographics and psychographics given from television and magazines, but now they can see what consumers like to hear from advertisers, how they engage online, and what their needs and wants are.[101] The general concept of being ethical while marking on social network sites is to be honest with the intentions of the campaign, avoid false advertising, be aware of user privacy conditions (which means not using consumers' private information for gain), respect the dignity of persons in the shared online community, and claim responsibility for any mistakes or mishaps that are results of your marketing campaign.[102] Most social network marketers use websites like Facebook and MySpace to try to drive traffic to another website.[103] While it is ethical to use social networking websites to spread a message to people who are genuinely interested, many people game the system with auto-friend adding programs and spam messages and bulletins. Social networking websites are becoming wise to these practices, however, and are effectively weeding out and banning offenders.
Social sharing and comments: If you're on social media, you're probably familiar with sharing and commenting. Social shares and comments are good indicators of how relevant your content is with your target audience. If a viewer watches your video and takes the time to share it with their network, you probably created a great piece of content. Social shares are also important because the more times your video is shared, the more it'll be viewed. If your goal is to reach to reach a lot of people, social shares is good metric to track.
Paid channel marketing is something you've probably come across in some form or another. Other names for this topic include Search Engine Marketing (SEM), online advertising, or pay-per-click (PPC) marketing. Very often, marketers use these terms interchangeably to describe the same concept — traffic purchased through online ads. Marketers frequently shy away from this technique because it costs money. This perspective will put you at a significant disadvantage. It's not uncommon for companies to run PPC campaigns with uncapped budgets. Why? Because you should be generating an ROI anyway. This post walks through the basics of how. Get Started
Your Brand Persona and Target Audience. When you eventually start creating content, you have to know who you're talking to and tailor your brand voice to appeal to them uniquely. If you aren't targeting the right audience (those people who will lean in to hear what you're saying), you won't find success. And, if you can't find a way to stand out, you'll blend into the hordes of other brands competing for attention in your industry.

Engagement in social media for the purpose of a social media strategy is divided into two parts. The first is proactive, regular posting of new online content. This can be seen through digital photos, digital videos, text, and conversations. It is also represented through sharing of content and information from others via weblinks. The second part is reactive conversations with social media users responding to those who reach out to your social media profiles through commenting or messaging.[22] Traditional media such as TV news shows are limited to one-way interaction with customers or 'push and tell' where only specific information is given to the customer with few or limited mechanisms to obtain customer feedback. Traditional media such as physical newspapers, do give readers the option of sending a letter to the editor. Though, this is a relatively slow process, as the editorial board has to review the letter and decide if it is appropriate for publication. On the other hand, social media is participative and open; Participants are able to instantly share their views on brands, products, and services. Traditional media gave control of message to the marketer, whereas social media shifts the balance to the consumer or citizen.
This involves tracking the volume of visits, leads, and customers to a website from the individual social channel. Google Analytics[110] is a free tool that shows the behavior and other information, such as demographics and device type used, of website visitors from social networks. This and other commercial offers can aid marketers in choosing the most effective social networks and social media marketing activities.
The digital marketer usually focuses on a different key performance indicator (KPI) for each channel so they can properly measure the company's performance across each one. A digital marketer who's in charge of SEO, for example, measures their website's "organic traffic" -- of that traffic coming from website visitors who found a page of the business's website via a Google search.
WhatsApp was founded by Jan Koum and Brian Acton.WhatsApp joined Facebook in 2014, but continues to operate as a separate app with a laser focus on building a messaging service that works fast and reliably anywhere in the world.WhatsApp started as an alternative to SMS. Whatsapp now supports sending and receiving a variety of media including text, photos, videos, documents, and location, as well as voice calls. Whatsapp messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption, meaning that no third party including WhatsApp can read or listen to them. Whatsapp has a customer base of 1 billion people in over 180 countries.[46][47] It is used to send personalised promotional messages to individual customers. It has plenty of advantages over SMS that includes ability to track how Message Broadcast Performs using blue tick option in Whatsapp. It allows sending messages to Do Not Disturb(DND) customers. Whatsapp is also used to send a series of bulk messages to their targeted customers using broadcast option. Companies started using this to a large extent because it is a cost effective promotional option and quick to spread a message. Still, Whatsapp doesn't allow businesses to place ads in their app.[48]
The popularity of video also means that more content at the top of the funnel has to be in video format. In B2C it's almost obvious. But B2B-people are people, too. Video content is more likely to keep the audience in the comfort zone, and they will not engage in system 2 thinking. System 1 autopilot mental state should lead to less critical thinking, less friction, and more conversions.
5. Higher Brand Authority. Interacting with your customers regularly is a show of good faith for other customers. When people go to compliment or brag about a product or service, they turn to social media. And when they post your brand name, new audience members will want to follow you for updates. The more people that are talking about you on social media, the more valuable and authoritative your brand will seem to new users. Not to mention, if you can interact with major influencers on Twitter or other social networks, your visible authority and reach will skyrocket.
By using Internet platforms, businesses can create competitive advantage through various means. To reach the maximum potential of digital marketing, firms use social media as its main tool to create a channel of information. Through this a business can create a system in which they are able to pinpoint behavioral patterns of clients and feedback on their needs.[30] This means of content has shown to have a larger impingement on those who have a long-standing relationship with the firm and with consumers who are relatively active social media users. Relative to this, creating a social media page will further increase relation quality between new consumers and existing consumers as well as consistent brand reinforcement therefore improving brand awareness resulting in a possible rise for consumers up the Brand Awareness Pyramid.[31] Although there may be inconstancy with product images;[32] maintaining a successful social media presence requires a business to be consistent in interactions through creating a two way feed of information; firms consider their content based on the feedback received through this channel, this is a result of the environment being dynamic due to the global nature of the internet.[29] Effective use of digital marketing can result in relatively lowered costs in relation to traditional means of marketing; Lowered external service costs, advertising costs, promotion costs, processing costs, interface design costs and control costs.[32]

Trade organization forms to foster non-GMO certification for supplements

A new trade organization - the Coalition for Supplement Sustainability (CSS) - has formed primarily out of a need to identify a way for supplement manufacturers to deal with non-GMO certification.
A number of companies who formed the core of the group's initial list of members have been working together for a couple of years in a less formal setting known as the Non-GMO Dietary Supplement Working Group, said Bethany Davis, director of regulatory affairs at FoodState, the manufacturer of the MegaFood line of whole food dietary supplements.
"It took a little longer than we expected but now we have a formal group and charter. We had our first formal board meeting last month and we have our next one (today)," Davis told NutraIngredients-USA.
"I believe that we can create positive change in the supplement supply chain, working together to create a more trustworthy supplements industry as a whole," said Robert Craven, CEO of FoodState, which as a company has led the push to form the group.
"It may be hard to find common approaches but I think we really share the same challenges and uniting on specific standards and test methods will benefit all of our companies and the broader industry," said Jeffrey Brams, general counsel and vice president of science and international at Garden of Life, another of the founding member companies.
Search for a standard
The group mentions fostering "sustainable, independently verifiable and transparent standards across the entire supplement supply chain." That's a somewhat amorphous mission statement. More to the point, at least at the start, has been how to deal with the growing demand for non GMO products on the part of consumers. The supply chains for dietary supplements are quite complex compared to most foods, and Davis said it became clear early on the the major certifier in the field, the Non-GMO Project, was evolving in a direction that was going to be unworkable for supplement manufacturers, however earnest they might be in wanting to keep these ingredients out of their products.
"The Non-GMO Project standard does not work for the dietary supplement industry. Our goal has been to create a non-GMO standard specific to dietary supplements. Our hope is that a third party can implement this standard and make it available to the entire industry," she said.
The Non-GMO Project has increasingly drilled down to the antecedents of ingredients that end up in finished products. That is problematical for dietary supplements on a number of fronts, Davis said. Take the letter vitamins, for example. Almost all of the world supply of vitamin D comes from lanolin from sheep's wool that is irradiated in large factories in China. Where were those sheep raised and how? What did they feed on? What kind of vaccines and/or antibiotics were administered? These are the type of questions that the Non-GMO Project would want answered, and for every nutrient.
"The project has specifically called out nutrients and required additional documentation around any ingredient that could be called a nutrient. It creates a unique challenge for dietary supplements and not many folks in the industry have been able to get over these hurdles. A lot of the ingredients that are standard in our industry are heavily comingled," Davis said.
Other components of supplements that could be problematical include gel caps that use bovine gelatin and amino acids that might use duck feathers as a raw material, Davis said.
Strategic focus
One question that is frequently raised by outside observers about the dietary supplement industry is the Balkanization of its trade organization representation. Won't yet another trade group merely add to that cacophony?
"The answer is that when we started doing this we did consider coming under one of the existing organizations. But none of our original members were all members of a single association, so we didn't want there to be barriers to entry. CRN would have made sense, but CRN membership is expensive. Or maybe the OTA, but not all of our original participants are members or would want to be," Davis said.
"This group is very strategically focused, and we have not set the dues very high. We are not lobbying, we are not in Washington DC having any of those kinds of interactions. It's really strategic around how to build quality standards around supply chain transparency and sustainability. We had to be a trade association for legal purposes with articles of incorporation and a charter," she said.
Among the founding members of the association are: FoodState (MegaFood), New Chapter, Garden of Life, Capsugel, Deerland Enzymes, Rainbow Light, Country Life, RFI, Ethical Naturals, NOW Foods, Natural Factors, Naturex, UAS Labs and Nutralliance.

How is it possible that my intelligent industry colleagues are spending time and money to fix a problem for which there is no evidence? Does anyone actually believe that the molecule known as cholecalciferol, with the defined structure of C27H44O, derived from sheep wool, is affected in any way by what the sheep ate? Or is this another way to create market differentiation while at the same time confusing the consumer?

Carrie Brownstein talks about 'Portlandia,' its impact and the city that inspired it
Updated Dec 17, 2011 ; Posted Dec 17, 2011
By Kristi Turnquist | The Oregonian/OregonLive
Portlandia's Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and Kyle MacLachlan on location
Gallery: Portlandia's Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and Kyle MacLachlan on location
By any standard,
has had a good year.
"Portlandia,"
the sketch comedy TV show Brownstein co-created and co-stars in with Fred Armisen, has become a cult hit. It created a catchphrase -- "put a bird on it" -- that sums up hip, do-it-yourself crafty design.
"Portlandia: The Tour," a live event featuring Brownstein and Armisen, kicks off in Portland Dec. 27.
That show is sold out, as are the rest of the tour dates, in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
Brownstein has also returned to her roots as a musician -- pre-"Portlandia" she was best known as a member of the influential band Sleater-Kinney -- with the critically acclaimed quartet,
Wild Flag.
The group released its first album in September.
With the second "Portlandia" season beginning Jan. 6, Brownstein, who lives in Portland, took time -- while walking her dog on Friday morning -- to discuss the show, its impact and the city that inspired it. Questions and answers have been edited.
This has been quite a year for you. What do you think when you look back?
There's just so much music and TV that people aren't watching or listening to, that I feel fortunate to be busy with two things that mean something to me. And (which) apparently mean something to at least a handful of people out there.
You were already well-known from being in Sleater-Kinney. What impact does TV have compared to music?
It sounds trite and obvious to say, but television is so much bigger than music. I wouldn't say "Portlandia" is huge. But it's surreal -- I'm actually walking by a car that has a sticker that says, "Put a bird on it." (Laughs) That's probably the most succinct way I could answer that.
It's been interesting to see the national reaction to "Portlandia," and by extension, Portland. New York media seems fascinated by us. There was a writer from the New Yorker on set while you were shooting Season 2, working on a story that's coming up in the magazine.
I'm also interested in the way not even the show, but Portland, has entered people's imagination as this kind of ideal city (exemplifying) progressivism, optimism, idealism. But it's weird having (this image) that, in a way, is not even accurate. Portland still has a gritty, seedy underbelly to it. It's a regular city, and the parts that people talk about are highly ideal. "Portlandia" (reflects) the dreamlike nature of any city, or places that we make sentimental, and romanticize.
The characters you and Armisen play in "Portlandia" represent types of people that aren't exclusive to Portland.
I think there's a little bit of Portland everywhere these days. It's the kinds of lives many of us are leading. We're trying to make a difference, but questioning what at first we assumed was the right way (to do things). People are starting to poke fun at themselves, and our sketches start right at the point where that belief goes off the rails. Most of our characters are pretty absurd.
And Portland?
I feel like Portland is a city that has become really good at catering not to basic needs, but to special needs. That's why it's so great to live here, but you also think, OK, that might be strange. I go into Whole Foods and at the bakery section, all I see is wheat-free, dairy-free. I asked them, "Where are your cookies for normal people?" They were offended, and I was offended by the way I phrased it. That's so classic Portland.

Netflix Cancels 'Iron Fist' After 2 Seasons
Netflix has opted to cancel its original drama series Iron Fist after two seasons. As one of the five ongoing Marvel dramas on the streaming service, it is the first to actually be cancelled. The second season launched on September 7, 2018.
In an official statement, Netflix and Marvel said: "Marvel's Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix. Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners. We're thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we've shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on."
The drama's second season starred Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick, Tom Pelphrey, Jessica Stroup, Sacha Dhawan, Simone Missick and Alice Eve.
Raven Metzner served as showrunner for the 10-episode second season, which was better received than the critically panned first season.

Rays Nip Red Sox, 5-4, In Last Inning of Thrilling Clairemont Hilltoppers Championship Game
The winner's dugout: Joshue, Jimmy and Julian Maravilla, Bill Swank, Rays coach Mike VanCleave (photo by Bill Swank)
In 1939, the stated purpose of Little League Baseball was to teach "the ideals of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork" to the boys of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Little League is supposed to be fun, but when the playoffs and tournaments begin, pressure starts to build.
Baseball involves winning and losing. It is important for kids to learn how to lose. They have to become resilient and learn from their mistakes and failure. When they're down, they have to get back up.
This is the 62nd season of the Clairemont Hilltoppers Little League. In the first semi-final game of the 2018 championship series, Rays pitcher Jimmy Maravilla threw a no-hitter. The following day, in the other semi-final game, Bostyn Pallamary of the Red Sox, also spun a no-hitter.
Watching the Clairemont Hilltoppers championship game from the stands (photo by Bill Swank)
Base on balls (walks) are part of the fun (and frustration) of Little League. Coaches look for kids with control who can get the ball over the plate. The maximum number of pitches a Little Leaguer can throw in a seven inning game is 85 which makes no-hitters unusual.
11 and 12-year-olds can typically throw 50 to 60 mph. The Little League pitching distance is 46 feet. League Information Officer Ken Cicalo estimates Jimmy and Bostyn both throw about 60 mph.
Hitting good Little League pitching is pressure. Maravilla and Pallamary can bring the heat.
These young aces were scheduled to meet in the championship game on May 30, 2018. A Hollywood matchup, but, in the game of life, scripts can go sideways.
Bostyn Pallamary broke his arm while skateboarding. Prior to the championship game, he stated bluntly, "I was mad, because I knew I wouldn't be able to play. I thought my shoulder was dislocated, but it was broken. Caleb will do fine."

His replacement, Caleb Bruff, was surprisingly relaxed. "I was thinking to go out there and have fun. It didn't matter if we won or lost as long as we played our hardest and played as a team."
Prior to warming up before the big game, Jimmy Maravilla spoke like a major league veteran. "It's the championship game and I want my teammates to be proud."
His Rays scored quickly in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead, but Red Sox hurler Caleb Bruff pitched courageously until surrendering two more runs in the fourth to hold the score at 3-0.
Although Jimmy Maravilla allowed 3 hits, the young fireballer had a shutout going until the sixth inning when he reached his 85-pitch limit. His younger cousin, Joshue Maravilla, got roughed up for 4 hits and 4 runs in that frame, but made it through the seventh inning without additional damage.
Because, Bruff had held off the Rays and had the lead with one out in the seventh, it looked like the Red Sox might pull an upset when he reached his pitch limit. Then the ball took a few bad bounces and the Rays won the championship, 5-4.
After the game, Jimmy Maravilla was smiling, but speechless. His younger brother, Julian, spoke up for him. "I'd like to thank my mother. I'd like to thank my father." Jimmy took over, "I want to thank my teammates, my parents, my coaches. We won!"
Cousin Joshue meekly added, "I thought I lost the game, but we came back." Joshue even got credit for the win in the scorebook.
Their coach, Mike VanCleave, announced the future tournament schedule and strictly admonished his boys, "No scooters. No skateboards. No trampolines."
VanCleave has been with Clairemont Hilltoppers as a player and coach for 50 years. His brother, Les, has been with the league almost as long. Anthony Valentine, also played with the Hilltoppers and became an umpire. He's been at it for 37 years. There is a feeling of family at Clairemont Hilltoppers Little League.
Bill Salons is the league president… a position he's held for 20 years. His kids and grandkids all played at Clairemont Hilltoppers. They used to have a softball league for the girls, but now the girls play baseball. Ken Cicalo estimates there are fifty girls in the league, but none were in the championship game.
Hilltoppers alum Ken Henderson had a successful 16-year career in the big leagues and Mike Winters has been a major league umpire since 1988.
After the game, Red Sox coach Justin Pallamary was philosophical. His team ended the year in the cellar with a record of 4-12, but almost won three straight in the playoffs to claim the title.
He was proud of his boys. "During the season, I rotate them through all the positions. I want them to learn how to play the game." He even used a left-handed second baseman, Hudson Gartland. It's not every day you see a left-handed second sacker field a sharp grounder and throw out the runner at first base.
Criticism is frequently leveled at obnoxious Little League parents and overbearing coaches.
It's never easy to be on the losing team in the championship game (photo by Bill Swank)
The Little League founders would have been proud of the Hilltoppers kids, fans and coaches. They demonstrated good sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork. Significantly, there was no complaining about the umpires from the stands or the dugouts.
The Clairemont community is justifiably proud of the Hilltoppers Little League program.

DYE-SUB PRINTING - We print a length of special strapping that is printed in full colour, whether this is single background colour with your text slogan, or if is a full photography based design.

Corporate event Excellent quality product, fast efficient and friendly service to meet deadlines, last minute alterations requirements did not compromise end result. Thank you, would recommend.
Luggage Straps The products are fantastic and they were produced as I requested them to be. The customer service is excellent and Lance made sure that I received the products as soon as possible. It has been a pleasure working with Clear Prospects.
Luggage Compression To Die For! Bought 6 x 50mm royal blue 1.8m luggage pull-tight straps. Paid standard postage but they arrived within 24 hours! Superb quality, buckles of superior plastic (ABS?) with very strong snap clasps, totally convincing. They make rolling and stuffing our Duvulay mattresses and the air beds a cinch, dunno how we managed without. Fine service, top quality goods, fair price; thank you so much.
We manufacture luggage straps every day for our personal customers on one of our consumer travel accessories web sites. Each strap is made from very strong 50mm wide nylon and we have a good range of colours to make as promotional merchandise.
Branding is offered by a number of methods depending on the colours in your logo, the quantity you require and when you need them making for.
If costs are required for larger quantities, please do get in touch as we also use a partner factory in the far east to give you alternative options for bigger orders.

The new version of CodeTwo Outlook Export fully integrates with Outlook 2010 ribbon. In addition, the appearance of application icons has been enhanced. Feel free to download the update from our page for free!
I was encouraged to hear there was a new version. But still no joy . Outlook 2010 Pro (32 bit) on Windows 10 still locks up Outlook and you have to go into task manager to end it. Got a message saying "unhandled interrupt" or something to that effect. Outlook then disables it when restarted. This is the identical behavior as before.
Hi Steve, We were not able to replicate the issue (tested both Windows 10 32 and 64-bit). There is a possibility that it is caused by a conflict with another add-in. Are you able to test running Outlook with all addins disabled except Outlook Export?
It is a shame that though the website says applicable to outlook version 2013 but it does not activate.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with CodeTwo Outlook Export. Did the program appear in the Outlook 2013 top menu? Sometimes installed add-ins are not visible in Outlook. There can be several reasons for that. To resolve your issue, please try the steps described here: http://www.codetwo.com/kb/installed-add-in-is-not-visible-in-microsoft-outlook#2010-2013.
Do you have a release date for a version that works with Outlook 2013?

BlackBerry DevCon 2010: A Developer's Perspective
By John M. Wargo, October 07, 2010
BlackBerry Advertising Service
Announced at the 2009 conference and finally available today is the BlackBerry Advertising Service (BBAS). This service gives BlackBerry developers with a single suite of API's to use to include advertisements from multiple ad sources into their applications while keeping 60 percent of the revenue generated by those ads. RIM has already built relationships with many advertising networks in including Amobee, Jumptap, Lat49, Millennial Media and Mojiva and expects to continue to add networks over time. They even went so far as to announce networks they haven't yet solidified relationships with including Buzzcity, NavTeq, Placecast, Sympatico, Transpera, Where, xAD and more.
As RIM describes it, the service consists of three components: a suite of API's a developer would use to leverage the service, a mediation platform (what RIM calls their web console for managing ad allocations, analytics, tracking, reporting and more) and the relationships RIM has created with the multitude of ad vendors the service works with. Using this service, developers will be able to serve up different types of ads and integrate them with their applications different ways and with other applications on the device as well (adding an event to the user's calendar or adding a restaurant's contact information to the address book). As with the BlackBerry Messenger Social Platform APIs, the BlackBerry Advertising Service only helps a developer working on a BlackBerry application. If the application under development targets multiple mobile platforms, the developer will be able to use the BlackBerry Advertising Service for the BlackBerry version of the application but will have to look at other services (iAd for iOS for example) for other targeted platforms.
BlackBerry Analytics Service
Another surprise announcement made by RIM at the conference is that they worked with Webtrends to deliver free, enterprise class analytics for BlackBerry applications. With the increased popularity of BlackBerry applications and the tremendous growth of the BlackBerry App World, RIM recognized that application vendors needed an easy way to tell how much their applications were being used and which features/screens were the most popular.
A developer implements the service by implementing calls to the analytics service from within their applications. Once an application has been instrumented and is out in the wild, developers can view metrics for their application from a web console similar to the one shown in Figure 1. The service is expected to be available in early 2011.

The WebWorks Application Platform
One of the most interesting application technologies RIM created recently was BlackBerry Widgets. They announced the technology right about the time they announced end of life for BlackBerry MDS Runtime (essentially a drag-and-drop, point-and-click application builder for BlackBerry) and Widgets was basically seen as its replacement. At this year's DevCon, RIM renamed the tools for creating Widgets to "BlackBerry WebWorks Platform".
With the WebWorks tools, developers build web applications that run within a Java application container; the architecture for the application is as in Figure 2. The application's code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) plus additional resources (images, videos and more) are all packaged into a Java application (essentially an app with a single screen encompassing a big browser field). RIM provides special JavaScript libraries a developer can use to interact with device hardware such as the camera and other BlackBerry applications such as the calendar, address book, email client and more. If a particular API is not available or if there's custom code that needs to be executed in an application, developers can create JavaScript extensions (written in Java) that can be called from any WebWorks application. WebWorks applications can even be configured as Push listeners, allowing back-end applications to push data into a WebWorks application rather than requiring that the client-side application request updates from the server. WebWorks applications support GPS, text messaging, background processing, interacting with other applications and much more -- pretty much anything you can do in a BlackBerry Java application you can do in a WebWorks application.
Figure 2: BlackBerry WebWorks Application Architecture.
The benefits of WebWorks applications are:
Developers can build BlackBerry applications using technologies they are already comfortable with rather than learning Java and the BlackBerry Java APIs.
Applications built on this platform deploy like Java applications, mostly because they are Java applications, through the BlackBerry App World, using Over the Air (OTA) Push or via OTA Pull -- you can't do that today with standard web applications without using third-party tools.
WebWorks applications leverage the same security model available to Java applications, so enterprise administrators, through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), can finely tune what the applications can and cannot do on a device.
Because the web application is running on-device, within the container, the application can operate when network connectivity is not available and can leverage a local SQLite database for local storage.
It's pretty amazing what you can do with these applications; at the conference, RIM demonstrated many WebWorks applications and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between them and native Java applications. They're web applications, so through graphics and CSS plus the available interface API's, you can essentially make the applications look and act any way you want. RIM provides thousands of JavaScript API's and continues to add more over time. At this time, most essential BlackBerry Java APIs are available to WebWorks applications through JavaScript.
The platform consists of a plug-in for either Eclipse or Microsoft Visual Studio; it allows developers to write, test and debug applications all from within the IDE. The BlackBerry simulators plug into the IDE as well, so when you're testing application, you're doing it right alongside the IDE (with real-time debugging). The core of the platform is a packaging utility that takes a web application's files and packages them up into a Java application. This can be accomplished via a command line tool or directly within the IDE. If you're looking for something to compare WebWorks to, think of PhoneGap or Appcelerator Titanium.
Now that RIM is leveraging the WebKit rendering engine, it looks like RIM is putting a lot of effort behind this newly renamed platform. I expect that because it's so easy to build these applications that you'll find most BlackBerry development shifting over to this platform. There will still be a place for building BlackBerry Java applications, but only for high performance, very complicated applications or hardware device drivers that can't be built any other way.
There has been a lot of pressure on RIM to release its development tools using an open source license; considering how often they get sued, it's been a really hard issue for them to address. With WebWorks, RIM is making their first big contribution to the Open Source community. RIM has released the full source code for WebWorks to GitHub. RIM expects developers to take Java APIs that haven't been exposed through the WebWorks JavaScript libraries and publish their own libraries that leverage them. Expect RIM to make additional open source contributions over time.

In an effort to hold down fees, payment is due at the time of service. If you have insurance, payment in full for the first visit is required. On future visits, we will estimate your benefit and collect your estimated patient portion when treatment is rendered. Fees are due and payable at the time treatment is rendered. We accept cash, personal checks, credit cards (Visa, MC, Discover and American Express) or CareCredit.
We are happy to assist you in filing the necessary forms to help you receive the full benefits of your coverage. The insurance relationship constitutes an agreement between the carrier and the patient. As such, we can make no guarantee of estimated coverage or payment. However, please know that we will do everything possible to see that you receive the full benefits of your policy. Although your insurance company may say it pays 100% of preventative treatment, it is based on their allowable amount. In addition, not all services are covered services. Please consult your dental insurance handbook or speak with a representative at your place of employment. Estimates of coverage for treatment plans is not an actual guarantee of actual insurance payment. We will be happy to file for a pre-determination of benefits for your treatment plan. Pre-treatment estimates may be required by insurance companies for more extensive work (crowns, bridges or peridontal work). The estimated patient portion is due upon completion of treatment. We DO NOT accept medicaid, medicare, or NC Health Choice as a payment option.
Payment as services are rendered: If you wish to pay the estimated amount for the treatment at the time services are rendered, we gladly accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, and CareCredit. We DO NOT accept medicaid, medicare, or NC Health Choice as a payment option. Because we cannot guarantee your exact insurance coverage, there may be a balance remaining after insurance payment is received. We ask that this balance be paid within 30 days.
Care Credit is a health care credit option: "Same as cash" interest-free credit line ( up to 18 months for qualifying patients). Information and applications are available at our office or online.

Clara Shih on the social marketing boom
Faith Merino · May 5, 2011 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/1a0f
CEO of Hearsay Corporation and author of The Facebook Era, Shih discusses the social marketing space
Why is social marketing exploding right now? Because the Internet is evolving, according to Clara Shih, CEO of Hearsay Corporation and the author of the best-selling book "The Facebook Era."
"Communication is evolving. People are sharing more information about themselves online than they ever have," she explained. "Tweets, status updates…the fact that we all have Facebook profiles, sharing some pretty private information, and now we're sharing that information semi-publicly with friends and friends of friends. That's changing the interpersonal dynamic between people, but it's also changing the way businesses can learn about their customers."
But social media is also changing the marketing landscape. Marketing and advertising of yesteryear was a pretty cut-and-dry process: you had your brand, you had your ad, and you had timeslots on TV within which you could push your ad. But social media is so diffuse that in order to adapt, marketing has to become social as well—namely, by engaging in a conversation with consumers while customers talk back at the brand and marketer, and talk to others about the brand.
And who are these new consumers that businesses are targeting? In Shih's book, she mentions that 94% of the college students she surveyed said they did not check their email on a regular basis, preferring texts, tweets, and other forms of instant communication. But Shih points out that if we take a step back and look at the history of communications, we've seen this before.
"It was the same thing when we went from in-person meetings to phone calls, and then from phone calls to emails…you have to communicate through the medium preferred by your demographic, and for Facebook and Twitter, it's a no-brainer."
Check out my interview with Clara Shih, where she discusses the social marketing consumer, which social marketing campaigns are most effective, and how businesses can leverage social media to reach their target demographics.

For us the thought of a Rocky Mountain Summer means green mountain sides covered in wildflowers and aspen trees drenched in the Colorado sun. This was the inspiration for our very first Six Arrow Photography styled shoot. We envisioned a palate of aspen green, fuchsia, light pink and mountain majesty blue paired with rustic chic elements. After several months of planning and coordinating, every inch of our idea to came to life!
The details of this shoot were absolutely gorgeous! The greenery and wildflower inspired florals by Emily Rose Floral Designs and the custom invitations created by Crown Calligraphy, perfectly reflected our vision! A very unique cake by Daddy Cakes and the farm tables, china and linens from Flexx Productions provided the rustic chic element we were looking for. And Natalie, site coordinator extraordinaire, at The Preserve at Bingham Hill was a fantastic hostess! All of the vendors coming together to create this romantic Rocky Mountain Summer shoot truly knocked it out of the park!
And … the love and joy between our real life couple, Haley and Luke, just added to the beauty of the day. Their class, grace and heart for others is unparalleled and they are an excellent example of the kind of marriage we believe in and fight for every day. They are truly an inspiration to those around them.

19 July 2018 - The Ministry of Public Health and Population of Yemen has reported 2597 suspected cholera cases and three associated deaths during epidemiological week 26 (25 June – 1 July) in 2018. The cumulative total from 27 April 2017 to 1 July 2018 is 1,115,378 suspected cholera cases and 2310 associated deaths (CFR 0.21%). Children under 5 years of age represent 28.8% of the total suspected cases. So far, the cholera outbreak has affected 22 out of 23 governorates and 305 out of 333 districts in Yemen.
At the national level, the trend for the weekly number of cases is stable. The number of reported cases has decreased or remained stable in all governorates for three consecutive weeks, with the exceptions of Amran, Sanaa, Dhamar, Al Bayda, Amanat Al Asimah and Ibb. This week, 14 out of 22 governorates reported new cases, with the highest number coming from Amran (479), Amanat Al Asimah (335), Sanaa (331), and Al Hudaydah (312). Al Hudaydah Governorate accounts for the highest number of suspected cases (163,864 including 286 associated deaths), which represent 14.7 % of the total suspected cholera in the country.
WHO, in coordination with Health and WASH cluster partners, continues to support the Ministry of Public Health and Population of Yemen to contain this outbreak through the strengthening of disease surveillance, including laboratory capacity, case management and improving sanitation.
To date, out of 4459 samples collected, 1157 cases have been confirmed as cholera positive by culture. The latest positive culture was confirmed on 29 June 2018 in Amanat Al Asimah.
WHO and UNICEF, with MOPHP are preparing to conduct an oral cholera vaccination (OCV) campaign in six districts in Al Hudaydah, targeting 823,000 people over age one. The targeted districts are those still reporting laboratory-confirmed cases where improvements to water and sanitation are extremely challenging. OCV will be part of the overall strategy to stop/reduce transmission in these districts.


On March 2, 1819 Samuel Brannan was born in Saco, Massachusetts, which eventually became the state of Maine about a year later. After turning 14, Sam moved to Kirtland, Ohio with his sister where he learned the printer's trade. He joined the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" also known as "LDS." In 1844, he moved to New York and began printing "The Prophet" and the "New York Messenger," a Latter Day Saint newspaper.
AfterJoseph Smith, a church leader was murdered the Latter Day Saints decided to move their central headquarters away from Nauvoo, Illinois. Several locations were considered, including the Mexican Territory of Alta, California. In February 1846, with the approval of church leaders, Brannan and 245 other Latter Day Saints from New York boarded the ship "Brooklyn" and sailed for upper California via Cape Horn. Sam brought an old printing press and a complete flour mill. After a stop in Honolulu, Hawaii, they landed on July 31,1846 at the Mexican port town of Yerba Buena, a present day San Francisco, tripling the population of the pueblo. Brannan was appointed as the first President of the California LDS Mission.
Sam used his press to establish the "California Star" which was the first newspaper in San Francisco. It was the second paper in Alta, California after the "Californian" which he also started on August 15, 1846. These two papers were combined to become "The Daily Alta California" in 1848. Sam also created the first school in San Francisco. In June 1847, he tried to convince Brigham Young, the head of the LDS church, to migrate to the Great Basin bringing Mormon pioneers to California. Young rejected the idea and settled what is now Utah. Brannan returned to northern California.
Sam Brannan moved to New Helvetia where he opened a store at John Sutter's Fort. After gold was discovered in Coloma at Sutter's Mill, Sam stocked as many picks, shovels, and pans as possible. His store was the only store between San Francisco and the gold fields. Being a shrewd businessman, Brannan would pay 20 cents for a gold pan and sell them for $15 each. In 9 weeks, he made $36,000. In 1849, his Sutter's Fort store sold $150,000 per month. Brannan opened more stores in San Francisco.
In addition to his stores, Brannan, being a LDS representative, collected "offerings" from Mormon gold miners in the fields. Brigham Young demanded that Brannan turn the money over to him in Utah. According to reporters, Sam Brannan's answer was "tell Bringham Young that I'll give up the Lord's money when he sends me a receipt signed by the Lord!." Some historians consider this a legend, and others do not.
Brannan was elected to the First Council of San Francisco in the "new" U.S. Territory. After a series of crimes, he organized the "San Francisco Committee of Vigilance," which functioned as an unofficial police force., During a vigilante raid at the gold fields a "squatter" was murdered. Some say Brannan pulled the trigger, and because of this was ejected from the LDS church for vigilante violence.
During the gold rush days, Sam Brannan became "California's First Millionaire." With 2 other outfits, he purchased Sutter's vast land holdings and built many fine buildings in the San Francisco and Scramento areas. He started a lucrative ship trade with China, Hawaii, and the east coast. His land holdings stretched to southern California and Hawaii. In 1851, he bought large amounts of land in Honolulu. In 1853, Sam was elected a state Senator of California in the new State's Capital in Sacramento. He helped develop trade with China and financial agreements with Mexico, the founding of the "Society of Califorian Pioneers," as well as developing banks, railroads, and telegraph companies in California. In 1858, he built the first version of the famous "Cliff House" in San Francisco.
Upon visiting the hot springs in upper Napa Valley in 1859, Brannan purchased the springs in the northern portion of the "Rancho Carne Humana" and founded the town of Calistoga. The name was the combination of "California and the then fashionable Saratoga Springs" in New York. He also founded the "Napa Valley Railroad" in 1864 to provide tourists with an easy route to reach Calistoga from the San Francisco ferry boats that docked in lower Vallejo. Unfortunately, the railroad was sold due to a foreclosure in Napa county in 1869.
In 1868, Brannan became one of the main investors at the Robinson Trust which initiated developments of major coastal land holdings in Los Angeles county and also near San Pedro Bay in southern California.
In 1872, Brannan divorced his wife Anna Eliza Corwin. Since she was awarded half of his estate, he was forced to liquidate just about all of his properties to pay her off. After the divorce, he became a brewer and an alcoholic. Sam moved to San Diego and remarried. He had a small ranch near the Mexican Border where he did land speculation for the Mexican government in Sonora. In 1888, he earned $49,000. He quit drinking and paid off all of his debts.
Sam Brannan died penniless at age 70 in Escondido, California on Sunday May 5, 1889 from "inflammation of the bowels." His body layed unclaimed for a year in the San Diego county vault until it was recognized by chance. He was given a Christian burial marked only with a stake in Mount Hope Cemetary.
Samuel Brannan's name has lived on in many facets. Many locations are named after him in California which include: a city named Brannan, Brannan St in San Francisco, Brannan Island a good fishing area in the delta, Brannan Bluff, Brannan River, Brannan Mountain, Brannan Springs, and Sam Brannan Middle School in Sacramento (where my best friend and clamper sponser Jeff Hunter attended). Brannan founded Calistoga and Yuba City. In partnership with John A Sutter, William Tecumseh Sherman (famous civil war union general), and Edward Ord as surveyors, Brannan laid out the unofficial subdivisions that became the city of Sacramento. Sam Brannan lead an interesting life, but these are but a few of his stories.
On April 17-19, Sam Brannan Chapter 1004 is having its Spring Function in Knight's Landing. They are having a plack re-dedication since they are moving it to a new location. It will be at the same place as their re-chartering of 1974.

the women I admire the most in my life are smart and capable. I try to consider women as equals or better. I think I do that fairly well even though I was raised in the middle of the last century.
thank you to a woman who is definitely a superior bibliophile.
It was just so much fun to laugh at jokes put into the mouth of women. I will be reading more of this writer... Thank you for the compliment.


Largely thanks to budget carrier AirAsia, Malaysia is crisscrossed by a web of affordable flights with regular promotions for flights booked well in advance. Flying is the only practical option for travelling between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Borneo), as well as reaching some of the more remote outposts of Borneo. State carrier Malaysia Airlines also has competitive fares offering equal or even lower priced tickets if booked in advance through the internet. Firefly has a handy network radiating out of Penang Airport and Subang Airport. In Sabah and Sarawak, MASWings, operates turboprop services linking the interior communities with the coastal cities.
If travelling on holidays or even over the weekend, it is advisable to reserve your seats in advance. Note that air conditioning on some buses can be extremely cold so don't forget to bring a good sweater, pants and socks, especially for overnight journeys on luxury buses.
