Use Amazon Smile to give back to charity when you shop. You can choose an organization dear (or local) to you and shop as normal. However, it's important to note that only about 0.5% of every purchase makes its way to charity, and you might do more good by giving more tangibly elsewhere. However, if you don't let shopping through Amazon Smile negate all the good you would have done otherwise, it's a great way to maximize your shopping.
After the introduction of the September 5, 2018 'Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies (Stop BEZOS) Act', Amazon announced to its workers on October 2, 2018, that the minimum wage paid to salaried workers be increased to $15 per hour.[153] The wage increase applies to about 350,000 workers. It does not apply to the majority of Amazon's employees who are contract workers. Furthermore, Amazon has also removed some grants and stock options.

In early 2018, President Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon's use of the United States Postal Service and pricing of its deliveries, stating, "I am right about Amazon costing the United States Post Office massive amounts of money for being their Delivery Boy," Trump tweeted. "Amazon should pay these costs (plus) and not have them bourne [sic] by the American Taxpayer."[167] Amazon's shares fell by 6 percent as a result of Trump's comments. Shepard Smith of Fox News disputed Trump's claims and pointed to evidence that the USPS was offering below market prices to all customers with no advantage to Amazon. However, analyst Tom Forte pointed to the fact that Amazon's payments to the USPS are not public and that their contract has a reputation for being "a sweetheart deal".[168][169]

Some workers, "pickers", who travel the building with a trolley and a handheld scanner "picking" customer orders can walk up to 15 miles during their workday and if they fall behind on their targets, they can be reprimanded. The handheld scanners give real-time information to the employee on how fast or slowly they are working; the scanners also serve to allow Team Leads and Area Managers to track the specific locations of employees and how much "idle time" they gain when not working.[183][184] In a German television report broadcast in February 2013, journalists Diana Löbl and Peter Onneken conducted a covert investigation at the distribution center of Amazon in the town of Bad Hersfeld in the German state of Hessen. The report highlights the behavior of some of the security guards, themselves being employed by a third party company, who apparently either had a neo-Nazi background or deliberately dressed in neo-Nazi apparel and who were intimidating foreign and temporary female workers at its distribution centers. The third party security company involved was delisted by Amazon as a business contact shortly after that report.[185][186][187][188][189]
Those salespeople love to catch us with a "good deal." But more often than not these sales feature bad products at great prices or good products that aren't actually at their lowest price. Often heading into Amazon's Gold Box deals page can take a lot of guessing and filtering through a lot of fake reviews and exaggerated "sale" prices to find a good deal. We're always on the hunt for a good deal, which is why we track the prices of our favorite products so we know when they're actually at the lowest price, so you can feel good about not getting scammed. Today, we found some great deals on coffee mugs and kitchen knives and some good deals on wireless chargers and robot vacuums.
In November 2013, Amazon.com announced a partnership with the United States Postal Service to begin delivering orders on Sundays. The service, included in Amazon's standard shipping rates, initiated in metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and New York due to the high-volume and inability to deliver timely, with plans to expand into Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Phoenix by 2014.[79]

How COVID-19 Affects Family Law
By Law Practice, LTD
As the coronavirus continues to sweep the US, it brings a slew of family law issues. Whether you're in the middle of a case disrupted by COVID-19, or are considering filing a family law case such as a custody order modification or a divorce, understanding the impact of COVID-19 on family law-related manners can help you proceed successfully.
How Does COVID-19 Impact Family Law Cases?
There are a few ways COVID-19 has impacted the family law industry and made matters more complicated for individuals engaged in family law cases:
Non-emergency cases are postponed. The vast majority of courts closed their doors once COVID-19 started to escalate, prioritizing emergency hearings for cases like domestic violence restraining orders. As a result, individuals with "non-emergency" cases such as regular order modifications may have to wait to receive a hearing or conduct their hearing using video conferencing software like Microsoft Teams. Some people may also turn to private judging or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) solutions such as mediation to resolve their cases, although it is worth noting that most cases handled through ADR still require a signature from an official court judge to be finalized.
Co-parents face unique challenges. Parents engaged in child custody arrangements are saddled with a number of unexpected burdens as a result of COVID-19. Schools and childcare centers closed down, presenting problems on two fronts: Parents have to establish new locations to transfer custody, and also find themselves acting as substitute teachers while schools try and carry out lessons online. The cancellation of landmark events such as graduations and proms also present children with unexpected emotional turmoil, which can make co-parenting more challenging.
Additionally, quarantine makes traveling more difficult in general. While child custody arrangements are still considered legally binding, actually complying with a child custody order while under quarantine may prove difficult for many parents.
Parents considered "essential workers" who risk coming into contact with COVID-19 while at work also face a multitude of challenges. They may wish to temporarily relinquish custody to protect their children, requiring new provisions like regular video chats with their children instead of having physical custody. Now more than ever, parents need to focus on communicating regularly and keeping each other updated on new developments so they can keep their children—and each other—safe.
Divorce becomes more difficult. Couples who were considering divorce before COVID-19 exploded may now find themselves in between a rock and a hard place. The impact of the coronavirus on various markets, including housing, has depreciated a large number of common marital assets (at least in the short term). For example, filing for divorce now and being forced by a court to sell off the marital home could result in significant losses for both parties. If the parties share children, school closings and the fragile state of many children and young adults at this time also makes it challenging to conduct divorce and maintain good parent-child relationships.
Then, there's the issue of shared medical benefits. Assuming the divorce is amicable, it may be difficult for one party to justify cutting off their soon-to-be-ex's medical benefits while a global pandemic is at large. Couples may choose to put off filing for divorce to avoid these stressors, but obviously, that comes with its own emotional burden.
Stimulus checks aren't functioning properly. The IRS recently announced that many parents will have to wait until 2021 to receive the child bonus ($500 per child) promised along with their stimulus. Parents who were relying on that bonus money may find themselves in a precarious position financially.
Domestic violence is increasing. In Dallas, family violence rose 12.5% while the city's shelter-at-home orders were in place. If you are in danger of experiencing intimate partner violence, please follow this link to reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline and seek help
In short, the coronavirus has impacted almost every aspect of family law. Speaking with an experienced family lawyer can help you navigate your family law case more efficiently during this time.
At Law Practice, Ltd., our lawyer has over three decades of experience helping individuals navigate family cases.

There's lots of spices white and black pepper but also plenty of grapey dark berry, red licorice, herb, mineral and cedar notes. Very complex, full-blown and well-balanced, becoming even more complex on the finish, where the flavors unfold to reveal subtle nuances. Drink now through 2015.


For 2019 the flagship Vespa range is "further improved" with "technical and style updates" to quote the official press release, which includes the introduction of Piaggio's new 300 HPE engine. The new Vespa GTS range now comprises five versions: Vespa GTS, GTS Touring, GTS Super, GTS SuperSport and the brand-new, technological Vespa GTS SuperTech, with colour TFT display that maximises connectivity to the smartphone with the VESPA MIA system.
The transmission has also been redesigned: the CVT boasts a new belt, new geometry and new materials, all enveloped by a new cover coated with sound-absorbent material, to reduce mechanical noise, also aided by a new, more rigid clutch drum. The engine is controlled by a latest-generation Magneti Marelli MIUG4 ECU and compatible with the future Euro 5 standard.
Piaggio's HPE 300 engine is also being launched in a version of their three-wheeled MP3 scooter too.
The style evolution of Vespa GTS continues, retaining of course the Vespa's strictly steel chassis. The front headlight and rear lights now adopt full LED technology. The front section features a redesigned shield, the centre of which incorporates the horn cover, extended and enhanced. Also new is the shape of the handlebar, the chrome crest of the front mudguard, the rear view mirrors and the grilles to the sides, characterised by a brand-new honeycomb motif.
At the rear, the side panels undergo a restyling, running under the body, while versions powered by the 300 HPE engine get new engine and silencer covers.
The large under-seat compartment is able to accommodate two Vespa Visor 3.0 demi-jet (open face) helmets "and more besides." Inside the legshield glovebox is a USB port.
The VESPA MIA connectivity system allows you to connect your smartphone to the Vespa GTS on-board electronics system via Bluetooth and enjoy exclusive functions for an even more satisfying and fun riding experience.
VESPA MIA and the new Vespa app are specifically designed to connect iOS or Android mobile devices to the latest Vespa models equipped with an instrument cluster with TFT display: Vespa Elettrica, Vespa Primavera S and Vespa Sprint S, and the brand-new model in the Vespa GTS range, the SuperTech version.
Once the smartphone is connected to Vespa GTS SuperTech – paired to the vehicle via the dedicated Vespa app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play – the TFT display will clearly show all notifications relating to incoming calls and messages in the centre of the screen. The system also allows for call management via the practical joystick on the right-hand control block and the use of vocal commands to make calls or listen to music, by activating a playlist. To fully enjoy all these functions, Vespa GTS SuperTech offers a special dedicated Jet helmet as an accessory, the helmet complete with built-in earphones and Bluetooth intercom.
The display also serves as a navigation system, accompanying the rider along the route, pre-set in the Vespa app, with directions and pictograms.
Available as standard with Vespa GTS SuperTech, the VESPA MIA system is available as an optional for other models in the new Vespa GTS range: as well as Infotainment and navigation functions, which make use of the instrument cluster with TFT display, the app is also an exceptional source of information when it comes to vehicle status, riding parameters and journey stats, which can be viewed on the smartphone. VESPA MIA technology serves to optimise Vespa GTS usage in both town and country, enhancing the travel experience.
The basic version of the Vespa GTS comes in Dolomite Grey and two new colours, Relax Green and Energy Blue. This Vespa GTS Touring featured a screen and rear luggage rack, "refined and elegant seat upholstery and a dedicated plate on the back of the shield" and is available in Vignola Red and new Forest Green.
The GTS Super version has black rims with diamond finish, a double upholstered seat with edge and is available in Innocence White, Polished Black, Passion Red and the new Summer Yellow.
Vespa GTS SuperSport has full black rims and comes in two matte colours, Titanium Grey and Bright Blue, enhanced with new dedicated graphics.
The new Vespa GTS SuperTech is the first large-bodied Vespa to adopt a fully digital instrument cluster thanks to a 4.3″ full colour TFT display. The instrument cluster, as well as displaying all the classic information such as speed, total and partial mileage, ambient temperature, and fuel level, also serves as the display for the VESPA MIA smartphone connectivity system.
Aesthetically, Vespa GTS SuperTech is characterised by its rims and decorations on the typical horn cover, offered with a special matte black finish. It has a yellow painted front shock spring that contrasts against the two available colours of Volcano Black and Matter Grey. The seat features double upholstery and two-colour stitching with yellow sections.
The other scooter of interest to be shown by Piaggio at Eicma next will of course be the Vespa Elettrica, which boasts a power unit capable of delivering a claimed continuous power of 3.5 kW and peak power of 4 kW, which combined with a torque of over 200 Nm, provide performance that Piaggio say is superior to that of a traditional 50cc scooter.
No prices or dates have been set yet for the new Vespa GTS or the Piaggio MP3 300 HPE (a new, more agile and lighter version of the Piaggio MP3), but we expect these to follow soon. Production of the Vespa Elettrica has begun and pacing is expected to be in the region of top-end models, with Piaggio dealers in the UK taking orders from interested parties now. Visit https://www.piaggiogroup.co.uk for more information.
And for more from Eicma, check out the SLUK website next week as well as the ScooterNova blog and young Iggy is venturing to Milan for his first ever show there – I hope he took his comfortable walking boots!!

Jill George Gallery is delighted to announce the latest exhibition by Chris Orr; who has been showing at the Gallery since its foundation, This exhibition is his flrst solo show in two years and will present a selection of new watercolours, drawings and prints, concentrating on London and NewYork, Born in London, and having spent his life here, Orr has long made its architecure, history and geography central to his work, Previous drawings of the city have occasionally incorporated historical elements into the teeming modern metropolis, with medieval, Shakespearean and Victorian characters mingling together on Waterloo Bridge, reflecting the mixture of history and modernity that characterises the city. He has also drawn spectacular London landscapes, with much of the human interaction that characterised earlier work becoming therefore less visible and the teeming pulsating architecture of London revealed as a growing, organic mass. His new series of London drawings focuses on the theme of 'work' and will feature the artist's trademark fantasy mix of re-appropriated architecture as a composite backdrop to figures working in the metropolis, lnspired partly by Ford Maddox Brown's famous nineteenth century painting Orr's workers toil in the continually evolving city before fantastical re-imagined tableaux of historical and modern buildings, For the New York images in this show, Orr has produced some of his most colourlul and vibrant architectural studies so far: His views of Times Square and Coney lsland capture the hectic visual and aural stimulation of these famous urban locations. He also found inspiration on a recent trip to Hoboken where a newly renovated train terminal attracted a fascinating range of people. Besides the many commuters and travellers who passed through the building newlyweds used it as a backdrop for their wedding photographs and homeless people clalmed it as shelter. Just as the artist selects and uses London landmarks as a backdrop to his city narratives here, NewJersey residents selected the transport building as the setting for their own individual stories, His watercolours and prints record the sad, hilarious and sometimes absurd dramas acted out in the Hoboken train terminal.

Q: Inverting non-square matrix with cross-product I want to solve for $R$ given $V$, $B$:
$$V_{3x2} = R_{3x3}B_{3x2}$$
Where $R$ is a rotation (orthogonal) matrix, and the columns of $B$ are orthogonal (but not of the same length in general).

*

*Do the above facts imply the the columns of $V$ are also orthogonal?

*Why is it valid to solve for $R$ by creating new matrices $V'_{3x3}$ and $B'_{3x3}$ where the 3rd column is the cross product of the first two columns, and then setting $R = V'_{3x3}(B'_{3x3})^{-1}$?  See section "B. Orientation Determination" of paper, where this is performed without justification.

A: *

*Yes, since rotations preserve dot products, specifically if $R$ is a rotation matrix and $u,v$ are compatible-length column vectors then $u\cdot v = u^Tv = u^TR^TRv = (Ru)^T(Rv) = (Ru)\cdot(Rv)$.  Consequently, rotations do not affect orthogonality, the length of a vector, and the angle between two vectors.

*The essential fact being asserted here is that if $v,w \in \mathbb R^3$ are orthogonal, and $R$ is a $3\times 3$ rotation matrix, then $R(v\times w) = (Rv) \times (Rw)$.  In fact this holds generally even when $v,w$ are not orthogonal.  Once you believe this is true then it makes sense to extract a third column as the cross product of the first two, since it too satisfies the matrix relation.  One can see a couple mechanical proofs of this at this related question, and it can also be seen by tensor analysis.  but you might still wonder why the authors felt it so obvious that it doesn't require proof.
Effectively, this is saying that the cross product is somewhat intrinsic: it doesn't care how you rotate your coordinate system, it still points in the same direction (but it is sensitive to rescaling the axes so it's not entirely intrinsic).
The property proved in 1 helps to see intuitively why this is so: the magnitude of $u \times v$ is determined by $\|u\|, \|v\|$ and the angle between them, so it is invariant under rotation.  Likewise, when $u,v$ are non-parallel in $\mathbb R^3$, the direction of $u \times v$ is the basically-unique direction perpendicular to both $u$ and $v$, and so rotation commutes nicely with this as well.  This direction is unique up to negation, and here the "right-hand rule" comes in to disambiguate: the cross-product is the one that makes the triple-product of $u,v,u\times v$ positive.
If you think about this algebraically, this corresponds to the convention that a rotation matrix has $\det(R) = 1$ (when $\det(R) = -1$ it's a reflection).  Hence a hint as to why the authors called the section "Orientation Determination": there are two orthogonal matrices that map the columns of $B$ to the columns of $V$, but only one is a genuine rotation (hence orientation-preserving).

RootX and rootY are specified in screen units (i.e. any form acceptable to Tk_GetPixels) in the coordinate system of the root window (if a virtual-root window manager is in use then the coordinate system of the virtual root window is used). If no window in this application contains the point then an empty string is returned. In selecting the containing window, children are given higher priority than parents and among siblings the highest one in the stacking order is chosen.
Returns a decimal string giving the depth of window (number of bits per pixel).
Returns 1 if there exists a window named window, 0 if no such window exists.
Returns a floating-point value giving the number of pixels in window corresponding to the distance given by number. Number may be specified in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetScreenMM, such as "2.0c" or "1i". The return value may be fractional; for an integer value, use winfo :pixels.
Returns the geometry for window, in the form widthxheight+x+y. All dimensions are in pixels.
Returns a decimal string giving window's height in pixels. When a window is first created its height will be 1 pixel; the height will eventually be changed by a geometry manager to fulfill the window's needs. If you need the true height immediately after creating a widget, invoke update to force the geometry manager to arrange it, or use winfo :reqheight to get the window's requested height instead of its actual height.
Returns a hexadecimal string indicating the X identifier for window.
Returns a list whose members are the names of all Tcl interpreters (e.g. all Tk-based applications) currently registered for the display of the invoking application.
Returns 1 if window is currently mapped, 0 otherwise.
Returns window's name (i.e. its name within its parent, as opposed to its full path name). The command winfo :name . will return the name of the application.
Returns the path name of window's parent, or an empty string if window is the main window of the application.
Returns the path name of the window whose X identifier is id. Id must be a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer and must correspond to a window in the invoking application.
Returns the number of pixels in window corresponding to the distance given by number. Number may be specified in any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels, such as "2.0c" or "1i". The result is rounded to the nearest integer value; for a fractional result, use winfo :fpixels.
Returns a decimal string giving window's requested height, in pixels. This is the value used by window's geometry manager to compute its geometry.
Returns a decimal string giving window's requested width, in pixels. This is the value used by window's geometry manager to compute its geometry.
Returns a list containing three decimal values, which are the red, green, and blue intensities that correspond to color in the window given by window. Color may be specified in any of the forms acceptable for a color option.
Returns a decimal string giving the x-coordinate, in the root window of the screen, of the upper-left corner of window's border (or window if it has no border).
Returns a decimal string giving the y-coordinate, in the root window of the screen, of the upper-left corner of window's border (or window if it has no border).
Returns the name of the screen associated with window, in the form displayName.screenIndex.
Returns a decimal string giving the number of cells in the default color map for window's screen.
Returns a decimal string giving the depth of the root window of window's screen (number of bits per pixel).
Returns a decimal string giving the height of window's screen, in pixels.
Returns a decimal string giving the height of window's screen, in millimeters.

Returns a decimal string giving the width of window's screen, in pixels.
Returns the path name of the top-level window containing window.
Returns one of the following strings to indicate the visual type for window: directcolor, grayscale, pseudocolor, staticcolor, staticgray, or truecolor.
Returns the height of the virtual root window associated with window if there is one; otherwise returns the height of window's screen.
Returns the width of the virtual root window associated with window if there is one; otherwise returns the width of window's screen.
Returns the x-offset of the virtual root window associated with window, relative to the root window of its screen. This is normally either zero or negative. Returns 0 if there is no virtual root window for window.
Returns the y-offset of the virtual root window associated with window, relative to the root window of its screen. This is normally either zero or negative. Returns 0 if there is no virtual root window for window.
Returns a decimal string giving window's width in pixels. When a window is first created its width will be 1 pixel; the width will eventually be changed by a geometry manager to fulfill the window's needs. If you need the true width immediately after creating a widget, invoke update to force the geometry manager to arrange it, or use winfo :reqwidth to get the window's requested width instead of its actual width.
Returns a decimal string giving the x-coordinate, in window's parent, of the upper-left corner of window's border (or window if it has no border).
Returns a decimal string giving the y-coordinate, in window's parent, of the upper-left corner of window's border (or window if it has no border).

The news that long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad successfully had crossed the Straits of Florida from Cuba to Key West this past weekend brought a degree of wonder and joy to all who learned of her accomplishment.
First and foremost, this had been Ms. Nyad's life-long goal after four previously-unsuccessful efforts stretching over a span of almost 40 years. Her accomplishment this weekend is a testament to the idea that perseverance is a virtue.
Moreover, no doubt we were not alone in being a bit taken aback at the news that Ms. Nyad is 64 years of age. For the tens of millions of aging Baby Boomers, her feat speaks volumes for what can be achieved even in one's supposedly golden years.
Amidst all of the negative news in the world today, Diana Nyad's 110 mile swim across shark-infested waters was a true splash of joy. We thoroughly enjoyed reading of her exploits and we salute her for this tremendous achievement.

Battle of Wolf Mountain 8 January 1877
28 February 2018 / tjlinzy / 0 Comments
After the disaster of the Battle of Little Bighorn where George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry was nearly wiped out and Custer was killed, the U.S. Army tried desperately to get the Indians back onto the reservations and secure concessions. The Army Indian fighters of the upper American plains went hell for leather in harrying American Indian leaders Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. However, the harsh winter of 1876-1877 made it hard for the US Army to conduct the pursuit. General George Crook called an end to the campaigning season until the weather eased. However, the aggressive, but vain General Nelson "Bear Coat" Miles wanted none of Crook's waiting and launched new offensives over Christmas 1876 and into early 1877 in search of Crazy Horse's Oglala Sioux. The Indians had felt they were secure for the winter, because the Army did not normally pursue them in the think of the northern plains' winter.
Sioux and Cheyenne Join Forces
The Sioux were in decent shape, but some of their Cheyenne allies who joined them were ragged from lack of provisions and the weather. Most of the Cheyenne wanted to re-enter the reservation to secure provisions. However, others, including most of the Sioux, did not want to concede the Black Hills in return for the provisions. These fractures in the coalition caused many discussions amongst the Indians in search of consensus throughout December 1876. In the mean time, Miles was wading through the deep snow in search of Crazy Horse's trail. The situation for the Sioux was growing tense with Miles stalking them. On 7 January 1877, Crazy Horse found and attacked Miles' column on the Tongue River, but the Indians were rebuffed and Miles took a Cheyenne contingent prisoner. Thereafter, Miles encountered repeated raids to free the prisoners, so he decided to set up a defensive position near Wolf Mountain. Simultaneously, the Sioux and Cheyenne moved their villages further north along the Tongue River to get away from Miles.
The Battle of Wolf Mountain
On the morning of 8 January 1877 the battle commenced in a blizzard with Crazy Horse attacking from various angles, but he did not find a crease to exploit. As the weather cleared a bit, Miles was able to get range with his artillery which prompted an advance on Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse had no choice, but to retreat to save his force. The numbers lost by both sides were small and the battle may have gone down as a draw. However, the larger point was made on the Indians by the Battle of Wolf Mountain, also known as the Battle of the Butte. They were not safe from US forces in their own areas, even in the dead of winter. Total capitulation was to follow shortly. Miles was not liked by much of anyone, but his successes were rewarded and he eventually became the Commanding General of the US Army in 1895.
Battle of Wolf Mountain Motorcycle Ride
For a good long run all around the area of Miles' and Crazy Horse's actions in the Tongue River area, try this ride from Sheridan, WY to Decker, MT to Birney, MT to Ashland, MT to Busby, MT, and finishing at the Battle of Little Bighorn Battlefield, which I highly recommend. This is a long run for bikes with smaller gas tanks with few fuel points. Make sure you top up in Sheridan, WY before making this run. Some of it is gravel road too, so be careful out there. The Battle of Wolf Mountain Battlefield is approximately 4 miles southwest of Birney, MT. It is under the private ownership of the Quarter Circle U Ranch. The Battlefield Biker's fellow riders are a polite and respectful bunch, so please ask for permission before entering private lands.
British and Kentucky Riflemen Battle of Frenchtown 22 Jan 1813
Since its shameful fall in August 1812 with scarcely a shot fired in defense, the Americans wanted Detroit back. So embarrassed by it, a winter campaign was conceived to win it back. William Henry Harrison, the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe, was selected to take back the area and further the American goals in the War of 1812. Harrison's second in command was General James Winchester. The two split their forces to move on Detroit.
On 18 January 1813, Winchester's lead elements entered Frenchtown (near modern day Monroe, Michigan) and took it in a short battle with a handful of British Regulars and a couple of hundred of local Indians. The American soldiers were militia that had recently been recruited in Kentucky and marched north with severe privation. The Kentuckians found great stores of food and gorged themselves for several days. Unfortunately, their officers had not ordered them to fortify the area for a counter-attack.
Battle of Frenchtown
A mixed force of British, under Colonel Henry Procter, and Shawnee, under Chief Tecumseh, counter-attacked on 22 January 1813. There followed a fierce battle that would go down as one of the biggest ground battles in the War of 1812. The British and Indians attacked across the American front. The American right flank was enveloped and surrendered, including Winchester. The left flank, however was holding well along a fence in the west of the area. The Kentuckians there were not surprised to see a British truce party arrive, but they were surprised to hear that it was the Kentuckian's surrender they were after. Winchester had sent word that they should give up. The Kentuckians did surrender, but only with the assurance that the captured would be protected from the Indians.
The British then quickly unoccupied the area of operations for they feared that Harrison's column would soon descend on Frenchtown. They left the prisoners with Tecumseh's force. Some, but not all, of the Kentucky prisoners left with the Indians were massacred. The remainder were taken to Detroit for ransom. The Raisin River Massacre became a rallying point for remainder of the war in the old northwest. The event had a solidifying effect on the frontiersman for the war that was not there previously. Future Kentucky units rushed north yelling, "Remember the Raisin!" The area was re-captured by Kentucky cavalry units in September 1813.
Trivia; Although born in Ohio, George Armstrong Custer lived in Monroe as a boy and married a local girl. No doubt, young Custer would have heard the story of the massacre in his local school.

"Dahlgren Ambuscade and Death" - Harper's Weekly, March 26, 1864
The Kilpatrick Dahlgren Raid 28 February to 1 March 1864
4 February 2018 / tjlinzy / 0 Comments
By early 1864, Lincoln was despairing that he could find no General to prosecute the Union's war against the South in the eastern theatre. All of his leaders around the Potomac seemed to be frozen with indecision and a fear of failure. Much to his delight, a plan from a junior Cavalry General, H. Judson Kilpatrick, came into his view through Secretary of War Stanton. Kilpatrick knew that his immediate superiors would either poo-poo the idea or steal it as their own, so he approached Lincoln's administration directly through back channels. Such was the state of the Union military leadership in the east. Kilpatrick was proposing a daring raid into the mouth of the lion to snatch Federal prisoners held in deplorable conditions in Confederate held Richmond. Kilpatrick's plan suggested more as well. Stanton and Lincoln were attracted by the idea that a raid into Richmond, apart from freeing prisoners, would also serve as a huge propaganda victory. Kilpatrick was summoned to Washington for a private meeting with Stanton and given the go ahead. Kilpatrick's superior's were not amused, although they had no choice but to support him as he had the direct support of Lincoln.
Kilpatrick, like many Cavalry officers from the North and South, had dreams of great daring-do, but was known to some peers and subordinates as "KillCavalry" for his reckless behavior. However, many, including Lincoln, believed that more of this type of risk taking was necessary to dislodge a stubborn foe in Virginia. Kilpatrick had no problem attracting another officer of similar ideals, named Colonel Ulric Dahlgren. Dahlgren, the son of a Union Admiral, had made his name in previous engagements, including chasing Lee's forces out of Maryland after Gettysburg, and lost a leg for his work. Having recovered and sporting a prosthetic leg, Dahlgren was ready for more grandiose riding.
The Kilpatrick Dahlgren Raid
The operation started just before midnight on the night of the 28th of February 1864. They were aided by a diversionary attack further west by General Sedgewick and a Cavalry Brigade commander who probably would have longed to have been involved in the raid. His name was George Armstrong Custer. The diversion drew the Rebels west and cleared a path for Kilpatrick and Dahlgren. Custer was especially effective in drawing the Confederates on a wild goose chase as far away as Charlottesville. Leaving Elys Ford at the Rapidan River, north of Chancellorsville, the The Kilpatrick Dahlgren raid set out at a good cavalry pace and reached Spotsylvania courthouse by leap day, 1864. Here, they split forces with Kilpatrick heading straight into Richmond from the north with 7/8ths of the force. Dahlgren took a wide, westerly path to enter Richmond from the southwest with a force of approximately 500. The idea was to give the impression that the city was being attacked from multiple sides and cause panic long enough to get the prisoners out. If they could destroy a few things in Richmond, all the better.
Kilpatrick continued well through appalling weather of sleet and high winds. Dahlgren met a slave boy to guide him over a ford-able point on the James River and was on time, so was feeling pretty high at this point. Kilpatrick fired flares to see if Dahlgen would respond, but the weather was so bad that the flares could only be seen locally. Both drove on, but Dahlgren soon came to grief as the guide led him to a point at the rain swollen James that they could not ford. Dahlgren was thrown off track and was furious. The boy probably just did not know that the river was that high, but this did not appease Dahlgren. In a fit of rage, Dahlgren hung the boy for treachery. Unable to find a fording point, Dahlgren was stuck and could not complete his mission. Kilpatrick had entered north Richmond by now and encountered a force of old men and clerks, but misread the situation as regular troops. In an uncharacteristic delay, Kilpatrick hesitated whilst he waited for the signal from Dahlgren that the southwest attack was on. The "Dad's Army" force held on well and long enough for re-enforcements to arrive and drive Kilpatrick off. Kilpatrick now decided to avoid the fate of the prisoners he had come to save, but left Dahlgren in a bind by pulling back. Kilpatrick was harried all the way back to Union lines, but Dahlgren and many of his 500 were to die trying to elude the Confederates.
The The Kilpatrick Dahlgren raid was a failure on the tactical as well as strategic front, but it was to get worse. The Rebels searched Dahlgren's body and allegedly found orders to destroy Richmond and kill Jefferson Davis and his cabinet. The Union denied the existence of such orders, but the outrage in the South had the opposite effect of the propaganda coup Lincoln had hoped for.
Kilpatrick Dahlgren Raid Motorcycle Ride Recommendation
I call this ride the "Rapidan Return." It covers the path Kilpatrick took to Richmond and then passes over the James River near Goochland where Dalgren had hoped to cross. It continues on the beautiful VA state routes 6 and 20 to Charlottesville where Custer worked the area. the ride finishes near the battlefield parks of Wilderness, Chancellorsville and Spotsylvania.

Cape Breton University (CBU) acknowledges that it is built on and operates in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaw People. This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaw and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources. They recognized Mi'kmaw and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
2023 Artist in Residence
Cape Breton University is excited to announce Ellen Furey as the University's 2023 Artist in Residence. Furey's artistic path began in Unama'ki/Cape Breton, and at the age of 18 she left the Island to study music, theatre and dance, eventually turning toward experimental dance and theatre. As CBU's Artist in Residence, Furey hopes to connect with new people, build on cohesiveness and break away some of the leftover isolation from the first years of the pandemic.
Each year CBU hosts an Artist in Residence who joins the campus for a four-month term during which they pursue creative projects, connect with students and employees and engage with the Island community. The initiative was developed to create partnerships with artists who share a passion for enriching the creative arts experience. During her residency, Furey will be offering a variety of workshops and classes for CBU students and the general public.
Throughout the past 11 years, Furey has had the opportunity to present her work in England, USA, Belgium, France, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland and Austria. Cultural exchange and creating in different contexts has been an important element in her understanding of a wider artistic conversation. Furey has worked in co-authorship with UK artist, Malik Nashad Sharpe, on their last two major performance works, and with a range of independent artists in different ways over the past decade. She has been a part of several projects as a dance dramaturg and artistic advisor. Since 2019, Furey has been working formally as an advisor, co-curator and now consultant of Montreal dance organisation, Danse-Cité. Over the past two and a half years, her two areas of focus have been intuitive/spiritual practice and conflict management.
Learn more about Ellen, her work and public and community events.

Paris Hilton Reveals the Physical and Emotional Abuse She Faced as a Teenager
"I was just so miserable."
By Paulina Jayne Isaac
Paris Hilton is opening up about the mental, emotional, and physical abuse she suffered as a teenager.
Paris explains that she faced this abuse while at a boarding school in Utah.
Paris Hilton is ready to tell her story. In her new YouTube documentary, This Is Paris, she's opening up about the abuse she underwent while studying at Provo Canyon School in Utah. Paris says her parents sent her to a string of boarding schools, including Provo, which focuses on behavioral improvement, after she was acting out in New York City.
"It was so easy to sneak out and go to clubs and parties," she admits to People. "My parents were so strict that it made me want to rebel. They'd [punish me] by taking away my cell phone, taking away my credit card, but it didn't work. I would still go out on my own."
Paris Hilton, Rick Hilton, and Kathy Hilton arrive at the 22nd Annual Race to Erase MS at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on April 24, 2015, in Century City, California.

In an effort to stop Paris's rebellious behavior, parents Rick and Kathy Hilton sent her to boarding schools that were supposed to focus on behavioral and mental development. One of the last schools Paris attended was Provo.
"It was supposed to be a school, but [classes] were not the focus at all," she says. "From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, it was all day screaming in my face, yelling at me, continuous torture."
She explains that the school implemented damaging forms of punishment—even solitary confinement. "The staff would say terrible things. They were constantly making me feel bad about myself and bullying me," she continues. "I think it was their goal to break us down. And they were physically abusive, hitting and strangling us. They wanted to instill fear in the kids so we'd be too scared to disobey them."
After finally leaving at age 18, she kept her awful experience quiet, despite the fact that she had panic attacks every day and "hated life" while at the boarding school. She plans to watch her documentary (which airs September 14) with her parents. And she doesn't want to pursue legal action. Instead, she wants to make sure that kids don't have to undergo the same torture she endured.
"I want these places shut down," she reveals. "I want them to be held accountable. And I want to be a voice for children and now adults everywhere who have had similar experiences. I want it to stop for good and I will do whatever I can to make it happen."

From time to time it is useful to take a look at other industries to see how they are doing business and to glean tips for boosting web traffic to your own ecommerce site.
In this edition of The PeC Traffic Report we'll take a look at an interesting new survey of electrical engineers in Asia conducted by the industry journals EE Times Asia and EE Times China. While it is unlikely that very many Practical eCommerce readers are targeting Singaporean or even Chinese design and development engineers, we can still gather some interesting insights based on how these engineers search for work-related information that applies to ecommerce operations, particularly in the business-to-business space.
The survey, which will be officially released on Monday, March 16, 2009, asked 4,373 electrical engineers, engineering managers, project managers, and similar electronics workers in China, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan—important markets for the electronics component business—about their information gathering habits. The survey's goal was to understand how these individuals collected work-related information, particularly information that helped them make product-buying decisions. This is interesting for ecommerce site owners since we can find some parallels between how these engineers and others searched for product related news, specifications, and information; and how potential customers for ecommerce businesses might find similar product information.
Before we move on, we should note that EE Times Asia and EE Times China are two regional editions of one of the world's most popular electronics engineering industry journals. They conducted the survey using a list of their readers and lists provided from some electronics original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). While these publications have sterling reputations, they do sell advertising in print and online. And to some extent they compete with search engines for available marketing budgets. While I don't believe this taints the survey results in any way, it is important to understand what a company might gain from the surveys they conduct and promote.
Not surprisingly, 66 percent of the survey's respondents had used a search engine to initiate some kind of work-related information query in the past twelve months, but only 29 percent of the survey respondents used search engines to find product information to review before making a purchase. It seems they already had some knowledge about the products they wanted to purchase before they used a search engine.
At first blush that might seem odd, but when you think about it, the desire for a product is very rarely generated online. I don't go to a search engine to discover what I should use to cover and protect my feet; I search for shoes, and probably a particular kind of shoe. Likewise, if I am looking for downloadable business software, I probably know something about the product I want to buy before I go to a search engine.
As a specific example, I was recently in the market for Photoshop filters. About three years ago, I had attended the Photographic Marketing Association's trade show in Orlando, Florida where I met some guys from Nik Software. Since that tradeshow, I have seen several advertisements for Nik Software in some of the photography magazines I subscribe to. Then last week, I was working with a friend who is a professional photographer and noticed that he was using several Nik tools. So when I arrived at Google's doorstep, I didn't search for Photoshop filters, rather, I queried "Nik Software filters." I already had a strong idea about the product I wanted to buy.
To me this clearly indicates that both product manufacturers and ecommerce merchants should promote their products and brands in other media in addition to search engines if they hope to create any significant demand.
The EE Times survey also found that 52 percent of survey respondents had used printed industry publications for work-related searches in the past 12 months, and an additional 91 percent had used vender or industry publication websites in the same time period.
Perhaps the most surprising bit of information in the entire survey was that more of the electronic engineers or managers in China had used printed publications to collect work-related information than had used search engines in the past year.
This survey showed two trends that I believe have strong parallels in the ecommerce world, especially when it comes to generating more store traffic. First, we know that search engines are important tools that customers use to find products to purchase, but often those searches are more specific than we might imagine. When ecommerce merchants focus only on broad keywords in pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, they may be missing potential customers that are searching for specifics.
Secondly, the survey findings show that people search for products and companies by name and that they rely heavily on printed publications and non-search websites. This is a strong indication that ecommerce businesses should use integrated, cross-media campaigns including both print and online promotion.


Thread: Rel Next/Prev it appears is not needed !
It does appear we can reliably rely upon Google to not tell us anything, LOL.
All of the paginated content we so carefully add re=next/prev to, well Google apparently pays no attention to this markup and they don't use it.
Google seems to think we build excellent sites, LOL, Here's the article, image is linked.
This is the kind of thing that frustrates many webmasters and SEOs that spend time implementing it.
The hint that sites were structured such that it was easy for Google to consolidate them, could it be from the pagination that has been used.
This brings about the question, does it matter from our perspective, meaning is there a better way to organize the pages. I mean how else would your organize 100 pages of "iPhone earbuds"?

Q: Выборка из БД значений определенного столбца без повторов? Есть таблица в Базе данных, в ней есть колонка "ДЕНЬ", а в базе данных, к примеру, 10 строк, и значения у этих строк в колонке "ДЕНЬ" примерно таковы:
3,3,4,5,5,5,8,10,10,15

Есть ли способ составить такой запрос, чтобы шла выборка значений этой колонки, но чтобы исключались повторения значений - то есть массив выборки должен представлять собой
3,4,5,8,10,15

Надеюсь, я правильно смог растолковать задачку.
Решение у меня есть, но оно получилось слишком громоздкое.
Если такое возможно сделать одним запросом, то подскажите, пожалуйста, как его составить?

A: SELECT DISTINCT ДЕНЬ FROM table_name

Ключевое слово DISTINCT позволит выбрать только неповторяющиеся значения.


Everyone knows how much conservatives love (and do well) political talk radio. It's dominated by folks like Rush Limbaugh and, to a lesser degree, Sean Hannity and a cast of others. Liberals don't do well with the medium, at least not nationally.
See the difference? Conservatives distinguish among the various host-based programs, especially Limbaugh and Hannity, but also Glenn Beck and the rest. But conservatives are more likely to lump together the various NPR programs, to not distinguish among them all that much.
What's it mean? From a theoretical perspective this fits, to some degree, in-group and out-group differences. We tend to see lots of variety in our in-group and see all those out-group people as all the same. To put it in college terms, a frat member will see lots of variety among members of fraternities, but an independent (non-Greek) may see them as all the same. That's what I think is happening here. It's the core of a larger study I'm doing.
I'm playing with some data, exploring really, testing it to see if there is a paper worth pursuing. As you can see above, I'm looking at how people "map" television programming. Ignore the "z" in front of all the variables, that's a naming convention I use in SPSS. For a more serious presentation I'd do it differently.
So what we have are 48 television programs and how a national sample "maps" them using a procedure called ALSCAL. Look at Big Bang Theory. All by itself high on the Y-axis along with, on the other quadrant, NCIS. How you do this is try to figure out what the X and Y axes are measuring. So looking only up and down, along the Y-axis, it looks like entertainment versus news, but below that horizontal line we all see Dancing with the Stars and American Idol. So maybe it's scripted television versus not? If we look left-to-right, along the X-axis, we see far to the right some news shows and 60 Minutes, while far to the left we see some Fox News progtams and Jon Stewart (this is 2012 data). We might guess that the X-axis is ideology in some fashion, as in ideological (far left) or not (far right). Or maybe it's cable vs broadcast? No idea.
Another way to do this is look at quadrants and see what holds those shows together as compared to the shows in a different quadrant. So the top left quadrant as Big Bang Theory, a bunch of Fox stuff, an MSNBC show, and the Mentalist, among others. What holds that all togehter as compared to the bottom left quadrant? Not much that I can tell.
And of course as I do this, I have in mind looking at diffent kinds of people and how their "cognitive maps" of television differ.
Yes, the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump has one positive impact -- it will launch a thousand dissertations, a million research studies.
Indeed, they're already emerging in academic journals. I point to this one, published a few days before the election, that looks at authoritarianism, cognitive ability, and support for Trump. Read it if you like, or check out the image below directly from the study. This is a path analysis and lemme explain.
Cognitive ability is a negative predictor of two different measures of authoritarianism, RWA and SDO. That means the greater your cognitive ability, the less authoritarian you are. RWA is an index of right-wing authoritarianism and is measured by such questions as: "Our country will be destroyed someday if we do not smash the perversions eating away at our moral and traditional beliefs." SDO is a measure of social dominance orientation and is compromised of such measures as "Inferior groups should stay in their place." So the more cognitive ability you have, the less authoritarian you are. Cognitive ability has no direct effect on attitudes about Trump, but, when funneled through two measures of authoritarianism, there is a strong effect. The more authoritarian you are, the more you like Trump.
In the fine print, the authors note they statistically controlled for such factors as gender, age, income, and education, and those controls did not alter the results seen above.
We'll see lots more and I'm planning my own studies as data become available. More on that another day.
Just messing around, Hillary Clinton did better in Georgia among those who voted early as compared to those who voted on Election Day. She still lost in both cases, just not as much.
In Georgia there was a 76.25 percent turnout, or 4,152,100 votes cast compared to 5,445,078 registered voters. These are unofficial results. Numbers may move around a bit.
So as you can see above, Clinton had about two percentage points more votes in early voting, which fits the usual expectations of more Democrats taking advantage of advanced voting. Still that wasn't enough to win Georgia (or pretty much lots of other places).
Others have broken down the Clinton-Trump race by counties and regions, so I see no reason to recreate that analysis here.
I'll let the polling pros do their forensics and take apart what went wrong, and sometimes right, with the pre-election polls. Once that's done I may add more. In general it seems less a case of "shy" Donald Trump voters and models that overestimated or underestimated turnout by key voting groups (minorities, less educated whites, etc.).
I'll also wait until more data are available to get at a question that always interests me -- the consent, or lack thereof, of the losers. Already we're seeing "Not My President" marches, which, to me, is as stupid as the kooks who said the same thing when Barack Obama was elected in 2008 and again in 2012. Here I raise this question -- if Trump had lost to Hillary Clinton, the "surprised losers" in that scenario would have been angry. I suspect most Clinton "surprised losers" today are less angry than sickened. Those are very different emotions. Anger can sometimes attempt to legitimize an outcome, thus threatening democracy and the electoral process. Being sickened by an outcome, that's less likely to result in those kinds of democracy-threatening outcomes.
So let's see. Yes, once data are ready, I plan on examining the "surprised losers" among Clinton supporters to explore just what their feelings are about the electoral process. And of course I'll look at their media use and see what predictive power that may have. In general, unlike some previous elections, I do not expect powerful negative feelings about democracy and the process itself, but you never know. That's why we do the research.
And in Spring I teach a graduate class in Public Opinion. I tried to cancel it today, saying public opinion is dead, given its lousy calls prior to the election. That's great, the grad dean said, but I've still got to teach the class. Ten students already signed up. Sigh.
