Samuel COMMANDER is listed in The Witherspoon Chronicles (mostly about the Witherspoon family of Williamsburg Co, SC in the 1700's). As I recall, there is no data on Samuel COMMANDER there-- just a mention- something like "stayed at Samuel COMMANDER's house" or "passed Samuel COMMANDER's house."

"Peter and Susanna had at least 5 children sons Camp Plummer Newell b 11-25-1797 & James Newell b ca 1800 daughters Nancy Newell b 1-13-1802, Elizabeth Newell b ? & Mary Newell b ?.
The 1800 Warren Co., Census for Peter Newell list 3 males under 10 (John, Gatewood & Camp), 3 males 10-16 (Thomas, William Durham & ?) 1 male 26-45 (Peter) 1 female 10-16 )?) & 1 female 26-45 (Susanna).
In about 1804 or 1805 Peter and Susanna took family and moved to Green Co., Kentucky. The 1810 Green Co. Census for Peter Newell list 3 males under 10 (James, ? & ?), 3 males 10-16 (William Durham, Gatewood & Camp), 1 male 16-26 (John), 1 male 26-45 (Peter), 2 females under 10 (Nancy, Mary) & 1 female 26-45 (Susanna). Thomas married in 1806 and I have never found anything on Elizabeth perhaps she died before 1810 ???. I have never been able to determine why they moved to Kentucky other than I am pretty sure Susanne had at least 2 brothers move there earlier.
In about 1812 Peter & Susanna moved to Simpson Co., Kentucky. The 1820 Simpson Co., Census for Peter Newell lists 1 male 16-26 (James), 1 male 45+ (Peter)m 1 female 16-26 (Mary) & 1 female 45+ (Susanna).
Peter died 9-9-1823 in Simpson Co., Kentucky. The 1830 Simpson Co., Census for Susanna lists only 1 female 50-60. Susanna died 5-5-1847 while living in Blandinsville, McDonough Co., Illinois with her daughter Nancy Newell Logan."

CIS honors Robert Wilhelm
The Robert E Wilhelm Fellows Program brings real-world experience and new scholarship to CIS and is a vital part of its research community. Since its inception in 2004, the Center has hosted 18 Wilhelm Fellows from around the globe, including Egypt, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, United Kingdom, and the United States.
In a new book, MIT political scientist Evan Lieberman examines a quarter-century of post-Apartheid government and finds meaningful progress. He hopes readers will both absorb the substantive case for regarding South African democracy as a success, while also considering that speaking up about the value of democracy is a part of sustaining it.
What Russia's invasion of Ukraine means for the world; 3 Questions: The future of international education; Traveling the world to make a global impact; Mobilizing across borders to address global challenges; Congressional seminar introduces MIT faculty to 30 Washington staffers; Eleanor Freund receives Jeanne Guillemin Prize
In memory of John Tirman, the author of this feature story, who passed away suddenly on Friday, August 19, 2022. Read the obituary and tributes.
Iran and the US have differing interests and grievances about each other, but their often-deadly confrontation derives from the very different national narratives that shape their politics, actions, and vision of their own destiny in the world. In Republics of Myth, a new book published by the Johns Hopkins University Press, Hussein Banai, Malcolm Byrne, and John Tirman argue that a major contributing factor to this tenacious enmity is how each nation views itself. Featured here is an excerpt written by John Tirman. He served as executive director of and was a principal research scientist at CIS.
WBUR On Point
"What is the US interest commensurate with the possibility of nuclear escalation?" Steven Simon, a Robert E Wilhelm Fellow at CIS, asks. "There really isn't one." As war drags on, is it time to talk compromise? Tune in to this edition of On Point featuring Simon, Anne Applebaum (The Atlantic), and Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze (Ukrainian Parliament from the opposition European Solidarity Party).
Jim BraudeWGBH Greater Boston
Even as it seems Trump's claims are untrue, could they be a winning strategy here at home? And what lies ahead for his London trip and meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin? Jim Braude was joined by Carol Saivetz, senior adviser at MIT's Security Studies Program and Gautam Mukunda, a Harvard Kennedy School fellow, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and author of "Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter."
Anand NaidooThe Heat
Described as Asia's premier security summit, military officials and diplomats from more than 40 countries met in Singapore for the Shangri-La Dialogue. On Friday, a highly anticipated meeting took place between the Defense Ministers of China and the United States. Jim Walsh weighs in.
Melissa Nobles, Chad Womack, Ambroise Wonkam, and Elizabeth WathutiNature
Top scholars, including MIT chancellor Melissa Nobles, are leading Nature on a journey to help decolonize research and forge a path towards restorative justice and reconciliation.
CIS honors Robert E Wilhelm '62, founding supporter of its distinguished fellows program
Michelle EnglishCIS
CIS recently welcomed Robert Wilhelm, and his wife Gena Whitten, to campus to express our gratitude for his ongoing support for its most distinguished fellows program and to inaugurate a new conference room named in his honor.
Michael HirshForeign Policy
After more than two decades of failed policies—fluctuating wildly between confrontation and cooperation—Washington and the West still find themselves facing down a hostile Iran. And today, though it is in dire shape economically, Tehran may be close to delivering the final rebuff, with experts saying it is just weeks away from achieving nuclear bomb capability.

Many patients with early-stage prostate cancer now have access to shorter and more convenient courses of radiation treatment thanks in part to research at The Ottawa Hospital. The treatment, known as hypofractionated radiation therapy, delivers more powerful doses of radiation in fewer visits and without compromising quality of life. With the new approach, patients complete treatment in four to five weeks, compared with eight to nine weeks for conventional radiation. An international guideline panel co-chaired by Dr. Scott Morgan recently recommended the treatment, based on clinical trials involving over 6,000 patients (including many from The Ottawa Hospital). The recommendations are published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Journal of Urology, and Practical Radiation Oncology.
"Hypofractionated radiation therapy represents a new standard of care for many patients with localized prostate cancer. Benefits include greater patient convenience and reduced cost." said Dr. Scott Morgan, radiation oncologist at The Ottawa Hospital and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa.
Acknowledgements: The guideline was developed by a panel of experts from the American Society for Radiation Oncology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the American Urological Association. Research at The Ottawa Hospital is possible because of generous donations to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

The Museum podcast #16: Ice cream, olive oil and the Phrygian Sibyl The British Museum Podcast
This month we're talking food history and Renaissance art. First up, Hugo talks to Alexandra Fletcher about the unlikely (to some!) combination of archaeology and ice cream. Inspired by this, and as the weather heats up, we asked food historian Tasha Marks to delve deeper into the history of ice cream. Curator Jamie Fraser also gives us an overview of the significance and production of olive oil in the ancient Levant, and Hugo pays homage to Raphael to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist's death.
During this challenging time, we're bringing inspiring stories of humanity's shared histories and cultural achievements to millions of people online. Your support ensures that we can continue to make the collection and programmes like this one available to as many people as possible. If you can, please donate today: http://ow.ly/1e1Y30qHebG

senseFly, the world's first choice producer of professional mapping drones, will introduce its next-generation fixed-wing system for survey-grade photogrammetric mapping, the eBee Plus, at INTERGEO 2016 on Oct. 11 in Hamburg, Germany.
Large coverage for optimal efficiency: the eBee Plus can map more hectares per flight than any drone in its weight class.
High Precision on Demand (HPoD): the eBee Plus includes built-in RTK/PPK functionality, activated immediately or later on demand, for survey-grade accuracy that the operator controls.
Project-perfect payloads: a camera is available to suit every application, including the new senseFly S.O.D.A. (supplied)—the first sensor developed specifically for drone photogrammetry work.
eBee Plus — a light yet rugged fixed-wing drone with elongated wingspan for stable, long-duration flights of close to one hour.
A breakthrough innovation of the eBee Plus is High Precision on Demand (HPoD). This describes the drone's built-in upgrade path to real-time and post-processing correction (RTK/PPK) functionality. Once activated by the user, this paid enhancement boosts the system's achievable horizontal/vertical absolute accuracy to 3 cm/5 cm without the need for ground control points—dramatically reducing expensive, time-consuming field work.Every eBee Plus will be supplied with four FREE weeks of RTK/PPK activation, activated on demand when the customer chooses.
Designed to meet the demands of professionals whose bottom lines depend on maximising daily flight time and data collection, the eBee Plus flies for almost an hour, across a range of conditions and altitudes. Therefore, it can document 220 ha (540 ac) in a single 122 m/400 ft flight—a larger area on one battery charge than any other fixed-wing drone in its weight class. Meanwhile the system's maximum single-charge coverage (flying significantly higher above ground level1) is 40 km2 or 15.4 mi2.
The drone's supplied eMotion 3 software boosts an operator's efficiency still further through the inclusion of pre-programmed mission blocks, which make planning flight lines and altitudes an automated one-click task. eMotion 3 also includes: multi-flight missions (so users need only swap the battery and hand-launch again to continue their project); multi-zone flights (for the simple mapping of complex sites); the importation of elevation models; live weather updates; automatic terrain-adapted 3D flight planning and much more.
"The eBee Plus system is a smart investment for any organisation interested in the efficient collection of its geospatial data. Plus, thanks to the system's range of optional cameras, operators have the flexibility to tackle virtually any mapping job," said Zufferey.
Specifically, the eBee Plus can carry the full line of senseFly fixed-wing RGB, thermal and multispectral sensors, including the recently introduced Parrot Sequoia for agricultural work and the thermoMAP for producing thermal maps. The drone's camera bay also accepts existing eBee payloads, while the senseFly S.O.D.A. is itself backward-compatible with operators' existing eBee and eBee RTK drones. eMotion 3, meanwhile, can also be used to manage the flights and data of all senseFly UASs2, both fixed-wing and rotary.


The Hyperbaric & Diving Medicine Centre in SGH is the first comprehensive and integrated facility in Singapore serving the civilian community. The centre is led by a team of specialists, and is equipped with world-class facilities to manage the full spectrum of clinical and diving medicine indications.
Treatment chamber pressure increases and it may become slightly warm. Feelings of fullness in the ears similar to sensation during airplane take off and landing may be experienced.
Once the treatment depth is reached, activities like reading or watching a programme in the chamber entertainment system is possible, whilst breathing oxygen in a transparent hood or mask.
Pressure is adjusted back to sea level once the treatment is complete and it will be cool. Feelings of fullness may occur again but nothing needs to be done as it is a normal sensation that will resolve naturally.
At what pressure will the treatment commence?
Treatment pressure is usually between 2 - 3 ATA, which is equivalent of 10 to 20 metres underwater. In some diving injuries, a much greater pressure may be required.


"Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas," American economist Paul Samuelson said.
What this means is that there is no such thing as a quick buck when it comes to investing your money. If someone promises you unbelievable returns– between 30 percent and 40 percent like MMM does – of your original investment returns back within a very short period of time chances are that this is too good to be true.
But, guess what, anonymous leaders of the South African wing of the Russian alleged pyramid scheme blamed media panic for the reboot on April 30, this was stated by fin24.
Remember, in a pyramid scheme, the only way you can get to the top is if you are continuously growing the base, by recruiting, it is the volume of growth that keeps the money going up the pyramid. Truth be told: eventually, it gets to a point where the money requirement is exponential, but now it outgrows itself. The number of people entering the system is just not enough to keep the structure alive and that's when it collapses.
If you put two and two together you will come up with – that time might have arrived for MMM. Media then has nothing to do with the reboot.
"We will quickly pay off the "old" mavro debts, no doubt about it. You just have to wait," MMM SA said to its members.
Fin24 has already voiced its concern saying the same message was given by another alleged SA pyramid scheme Kipi, which last paid out "dreams" to its members in 2015. The system is very similar to MMM, but instead of "donations" it uses "dreams".
The aftermath of MMM's collapse will be devastating. People were really excited about it. One lady, someone I know, in particular stands out: she was selling her site in order to invest. Her neighbours, early adopters, have benefited greatly from joining MMM. So she hoped MMM would be her one-way ticket to success.
I then fully comprehended whatCity Press consumer finance Maya Fisher-French meant when she said those living in poverty have more to lose.
"They are putting in money they can ill afford to lose in the first place," she said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if those people that are putting money in have borrowed that money. They've gone to micro lenders to borrow this money and put it in…and that is going to compound the problem," she said.
Basically, this is a line that reveals the potential Ponzi scheme (in a Ponzi scheme, members must recruit new investors) nature of MMM. And strengthens my resolve that people should stay away from it.
"There is no investment that can promise 15 percent or 30 percent returns without risk" – Karen Muller, Sanlaam.
So, next time, I hope we as Basotho will be very careful when we invest. Bearing in mind that, in investment, the higher the returns on investment the higher the risk. Simply put: when you invest in assets that potentially have a higher return there is always a risk-return trade off.
Remember: before you invest in any company do some research on it to find if it is a reputable company – a company you can trust with your precious hard-earned money; and, if something is too good to be true, it probably is; finally, mouthful by mouthful, we eat an elephant – that is how investing should be like.

Join or Die
Guilds: What's in it for Me?
By Laura Genender Legacy Author September 13, 2005
Though many games are grouped into the Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) genre, time has seen a broadening of the spectrum as games branch out from the original design into more specialized categories. But whether these games are centered on PvP, casual game play, crafting or a dozen other options, few continual threads still link this genre together. One of these long-lasting threads is the needed presence of guilds.
Whatever name you call them – clans, guilds, pledges – player groups are the backbones of an MMOG society. Many MMOG tasks are geared toward guilds, and can only be completed by large numbers of participants. Even when the game isn't built around guilds, players often form groups to work together.
For example, raid bosses in games such as EverQuest or Lineage II require upwards of thirty people to even attempt to kill, and after you have the numbers they require lots of preparation and planning, not to mention luck. Even in a non-combat game like A Tale in the Desert, players are required to work together to build large monuments and teams of two to four are needed to work some machinery.
While this would suggest that finding the biggest, strongest group would be the most beneficial choice, not everyone can be in the most elite guild, and not everyone wants to. Players also form guilds for friendship, companionship, and more specialized goals than simply being "the best."
Finding a guild is easy – it's enjoying it and keeping it that's the hard part. Ferst, a university student who plays a Spellsinger on the Lineage II Kain server, spent 67 levels looking for the perfect match. "Basically, I was looking for more than just a clan; I wanted people who were fun."
Spending those 67 levels solo wasn't easy, either. "I really like the PvP aspect of this game, but it was hard; I couldn't pick on big clans or they would attack in force." Ferst tried joining one of these big clans for a while but quickly became unhappy; he felt unappreciated and left to form his own clan, EndlessPariah. While his clan is only mid-sized compared to the competition, Ferst enjoys playing with his friends. "In the end it's just a game I play for fun, and you have the most fun with your friends."
D went through a similar experience in EverQuest. He spent a lot of clanless time while he was progressing his character. He didn't feel that he would be a useful guild member or leader until he had reached the level cap, and thus declined all offers until that point.
By the time D reached his goal level, he had accumulated enough friends who had expressed interest in joining a guild that he decided to form one. But even on a non-PvP server, D's new guild had plenty of obstacles to overcome; while they would spend hours preparing for a relatively difficult raid monster, a larger guild with more firepower would sweep in and mop up the monster in ten minutes. After some time, D left his guild to join one of the larger ones on the server.
The guild he joined, VeaVictus, was the second most powerful guild on the server. He felt that this new guild would give him the chance to experience the high-end content, and friends that had joined the guild before him were prospering. "I almost feel like I got too much of what I expected out of the guild. I was in the guild for a while and we'd go on raids and kill the big mobs but it began to feel like a job … in order to kill one raid mob it would take hours of prep time."
The guild also got a bit of grief from its biggest competitor, the most powerful guild on the server. While they were preparing to attack raid monsters needed to move into new zones or obtain new items, their rival would rush in and steal the kill to keep them from catching up to their level. If VeaVictus still started getting too close, their rival would help the third-ranked guild catch up to them so they had more competition for targets.
But for all the cons of large guild life, D received companionship and support. Every time he attended a guild raid he would receive "points." Raid monsters would drop amazing and powerful items that guild members could bid for with their points, so the more raids he attended, the more or better items he received.
Tau, a friend of D's, learned to take guild support to a whole new level in Star Wars Galaxies. While he originally had few intentions of becoming a trader or crafter, the early days of the game saw a large demand for architects. Tau agreed to build a guildhall for a guild in exchange for funding to pursue the architecture class. The deal was beneficial to both parties, and the guild fed him resources and land plots while he skyrocketed through the class until he could construct the hall. Once the transaction was completed, Tau volunteered to stay on as the guild's private architect. "Everyone needs a house, right?"
Tau supplied the guild with resource harvesters and player housing. He had plenty of customers, and his only real setback was his lack of land from which to harvest resources. This problem was solved by teaming up with a tailor, a crafting class that requires very few resources in comparison with an architect. He harvested resources from the tailor's land, providing her with whatever she needed and keeping the rest for himself. Additionally, the two supplied each other with their respective final products. "In time I even just gave her houses to use as storefronts for her tailoring business, and in return she gave me all the clothes I ever needed."
Meanwhile, Tau's guild had a similar give-and-take system with their star architect. He provided them with low-cost housing, furniture, and harvesters, while they supplied him with droids, vehicles, and riding mounts. They all also sent their outside customers to each other with referrals. "If you came to me to buy a house, I'd sell you one … then you'd ask me 'where can I buy a good R2 unit?' and I'd say immediately, 'I know the perfect man for the job. He's right across the street – tell him Tau sent you.'"
Without his guild, Tau would never have amassed his architecture empire. But while his primary goal was commerce, the trade alliances that Tau formed became close friendships and dependencies. And as friendships developed, trade became easier and easier; the two benefits of being guildmates fueled each other. "We all took advantage of each other's intimate knowledge of what we all needed and we traded accordingly," commented Tau.
On the other end of the spectrum there are, of course, those who join guilds for friendship and obtain monetary rewards only as a byproduct. Ysandre, also of Lineage II's Kain server, is a member of the SemperFi clan. The clan is run by the family of one of his real-world best friends; the clan leader is his friend's father and the second in command is his friend's brother. "I love my clan and everyone in it." Ysandre confidently backs up his family-run group. "Everyone really tries to get along and work together helping each other out. And they are great people to chat with while doing my daily hunting."
But in being a part of the friendly, family-run SemperFi, Ysandre is also a member of the UltimateAlliance, an alliance that occupies one of Lineage II's coveted castles. The alliance provides him with perks such as use of its Manor system, a system that allows Ysandre to trade in easily obtained fruit for rare scrolls and items, but it also provides him with a lot of responsibility and trouble. "I don't get killed for my clan. I get killed for my alliance. Since we are a castle-holding alliance we have enemies, and sometimes people on both sides decide to go out and cause a little more trouble."
Some of these enemies include Ferst's temporary clan, and Ysandre has to be constantly vigilant for powerful attackers' approach. "People like me who don't take part in the outside PvP get dragged into it because of their alliance." And while his clan quickly comes to his rescue, by the time the cavalry arrives the enemies have long since cleared out. On top of random political attacks, Ysandre has to help his alliance keep their castle. While the castle lords receive taxes and benefits from the Manor system, holding a castle is still an expensive endeavor.
If guild members don't get what they need from their group, whether that need is companionship or gear, they are going to leave it. The guilds that thrive are not the ones that recruit hundreds of members with no common interests – in this case, finding members might be easy, but keeping them would be impossible. Similarly, if players refuse to accept the costs of a guild such as sharing loot or defending castles, the guild will have a harder time functioning as an efficient unit. The guilds with higher rewards and lower costs are the ones that will last.
A guild also needs to know how to be flexible; their focus is in constant flux as new members leave and join, and old members change their priorities. A PvP guild requires players interested in PvP combat, a casual game play guild would quickly lose members if they started scheduling constant raids, and a crafting guild requires a delicate balance of materials and trade. If Tau had quit and left his guild without an architect, they would have had no way to obtain more harvesters or housing until they replaced him. Guilds are the backbones of MMOGs, but even more importantly, players are the backbones of guilds.

Interested in seeing a lavender in bloom? Time to visit Los Poblanos. Landscape lavender by and large blooms about mid-June, but here lavender field generally blooms through July. They harvest the lavender when flowers are about half to three-quarters of the way open (typically mid-July, depending upon growth), because that is when the essential oil content is highest. Dedication to lavender expand with more field space and special attention paid to utilizing the historic greenhouse for both year-round food sources and lavender propagation. A must-see here at Los Poblanos.
As part of the goal to preserve the agricultural history of Los Poblanos, a significant percentage of the property is dedicated to organic farming. They proudly farm organically, and utilize a broad array of heirloom and native varieties grown in this region for centuries. Even as fall works its way into the Rio Grande Valley and winter is not too far off, delicious varieties of cool weather crops are growing in these fields and in the greenhouse. Heirloom beets, carrots, radicchio, lettuce, onions, mâche, kale, spinach, fava beans and radishes are bursting above the cool soil even as the leaves fall.
Belle Mont Farm is nestled amongst 400 acres of fertile, organic farmland and lush tropical forest on the island of St. Kitts in the West Indies. It's an edible landscape, cultivated with organically-grown fruit and vegetables delivered to your cottage door each morning and transformed into authentic culinary experiences. You'll even find 'Pick Me' signs hanging where the ripest fruit is ready to be plucked from the source and enjoyed under the shade of your favorite tree. Kittitian Hill – a pioneering community in the West Indies with a passion for sustainable living – is committed to sourcing as much as possible from the land, forest and sea that surrounds the hotel. Belle Mont Farm work closely with sustainable farms and nearby suppliers who share the desire for responsible fishing, farming and animal husbandry, to provide you with whatever we can't produce ourselves. They also cooperate with local community farms to reduce the island's need to import fruit and vegetables. By sharing their expertise and organic approach, they can help the surrounding community successfully cultivate quality food without the use of pesticides or unnecessary chemicals.
For centuries the land upon which Blackberry Farm is situated has provided for its inhabitants. The Cherokee and then the first Appalachian discovered how to cultivate what would sustain them and how to forage what was already abundant in the field, forest and stream. Today, Blackberry farm choose to take the same approach because it links them with a continued passion for this special place and the seasons. The passionate pursuit of the farm generates a range of heirloom produce from the garden, wild flower honey, farm-fresh eggs, and artisan cheeses from East Friesian sheep. Next door to The Barn is The Larder, a white washed old barn wood structure conforms on the inside to the requirements set forth by the regulatory bodies that oversee food production. The activity of this place is sealed off to all outside elements to protect the sanctity of the products made within, which fortunately are then released to be savored by guests here and at home.
On the other side of The Barn lies the Farmhouse. This structure was built using reclaimed wood and materials drawing from the annals of historical architecture to create a farmhouse that captures the charm of a time past.

The President. Hello, everybody. Hello, New York. Hello, Harlem. It is good to be here tonight. Hey, you, how did you get up there so high? [Laughter] She----
I've got some acknowledgements I need to make. Everybody here is important, but there are a few people I want to mention.
First of all, we are in the district of somebody who helped us to deliver on a historic legislative session over the last couple of years and has been a leader here for a very long time--he doesn't like to remember how long it's been--but Congressman Charlie Rangel is in the house.
We've got your outstanding attorney general; Eric Schneiderman is here. The former mayor of New York City, David Dinkins, is in the house. Several of Harlem's outstanding leaders: a great friend and one of my earliest supporters here in New York City, Senator Bill Perkins is in the house; Assemblyman Keith Wright is here; Councilwoman Inez Dickens is here.
And finally, I just want to say how thankful I am for our Democratic National Committee chairman. I think some people obviously have seen Tim Kaine on television and know that he was a Governor of the great Commonwealth of Virginia. What some of you may not know is Tim was the first person, the first elected official outside of the State of Illinois, to endorse my candidacy for President.
He made that announcement as Governor of Virginia, in Richmond, former seat of the Confederacy. And this is back in February of 2007, when most people could not pronounce my name. [Laughter] And there was not a big political upside to endorsing me at that point. But he decided to do it because he thought it was the right thing to do and because we shared a set of values about why to get into public service and who we were fighting for and the kind of America we were fighting for.
And I say all this because there have been some rumors swirling around that Tim might decide to plunge back into electoral politics. And if he does, I want even people up here to be paying attention and to be rooting for him because he is not just a leader for Virginia, he is a leader for America. And I'm very thankful to him. Thank you, Tim.
Now, we meet here tonight, after as challenging a 2 years as America has gone through in our lifetimes. And when we started this journey 3 or 4 years ago, we understood that America was at a turning point. We understood that the wheels of history were churning and that the old ways of doing business couldn't help us to get to where America needed to be. It couldn't make us more competitive. It couldn't make us more energy independent. It couldn't ensure that our kids were learning and able not only to go to college, but also advance in careers.
We knew that how we approached international policy--trying to stand on our own without thinking about how we could mobilize the international community as a force multiplier--that that was not going to work given the incredible number of challenges that we faced. And most of all, I guess, we understood that unless we changed our politics, unless we changed how we did business, that the same problems that we had been talking about decade after decade would perpetuate themselves; that we had to undergo a transformation in how we thought about citizenship and how we thought about each other; and that we had to get beyond some of the old divisions that were holding us back as a people.
And so what our campaign tried to do was to resuscitate that notion that there's something fundamental that binds us together, despite all our differences. You look out on the room today, we've got people from every possible walk of life. And that's part of what makes New York City such an incredible place. And so what we wanted to do was adapt to the times, adapt to the 21st century, but also remind ourselves that there are some old-fashioned, timeworn values that, whether your forebears landed at Ellis Island or they came here on a slave ship or they crossed the Rio Grande or however they got here, they typically had a commitment to hard work and a commitment to community and a commitment to family and a willingness to dream big dreams and a patriotism that was not rooted in ethnicity, but was rooted in a creed and a set of ideals and a belief that in America anything was possible. That's what brought us together as a campaign.
And what we then tried to do is to translate, in concrete terms, what would that mean in terms of policy. Well, it would mean that we were educating our kids not just to be outstanding workers and outstanding entrepreneurs, but also outstanding citizens. It meant that we had to make sure that we had an energy policy that not only protected the planet, but also ensured our long-term security because it ratcheted down our dependence on foreign oil. It meant that we finally had, in a nation as wealthy as ours, a health care system that was rational and smart and did not leave millions of people uninsured or at risk of bankruptcy just because a family member got sick.
We had to make sure that the ideals of equality and justice had real meaning and that we didn't just stand pat on the progress that we had made during my lifetime, but in fact, we kept on making progress so that 50 years from now people would look back and they'd say, this is a more just and a more equal place for everybody. [Applause] It's exciting, isn't it? [Laughter]
So here's the deal, people. We haven't finished our task. We've still got some work to do.
There have been times where we had to make some really tough decisions, really unpopular decisions, digging ourselves out of this incredible economic hole that we were in. We had to stabilize the financial system. That wasn't always popular. We had to save the U.S. auto industry, and everybody said that wasn't going to work. And I just want to report that GM just announced it's hiring every single one of the workers that they'd laid off before we took office.
But when you look back on the track record of accomplishments over the last 2 years, I think you can go down that list of commitments we made to each other--not just commitments I made, but commitments we made to each other about the kind of country we want to be--and I think we've got some things that we can be proud of.
We passed health care reform, and it is going to make life better for millions of Americans. We pulled this economy out of the ditch, and just in this last year alone, over a million and a half jobs have been created, and we're going to keep on creating more. We made sure that we finally got rid of that archaic policy, "don't ask, don't tell," because we wanted to make sure that every American who wants to serve can serve.
We raised fuel efficiency standards on cars and invested in record amounts in clean energy, because we want to make sure that wind energy and solar panels and all the incredible promise of a new energy future starts right here in the United States of America.
So we can go down the list domestically, and then we can talk internationally. Obviously, that's been on a lot of our minds lately. And we are grateful to our men and women in uniform who have implemented so many difficult policies under such incredibly difficult conditions. And whether it's helping the people of Haiti or it's helping the people of Japan, whether it is being on the right side of history in the Middle East and North Africa or making sure that innocents who are seeking their freedom aren't slaughtered by tyranny, what we've been able to do is to once again form the kind of American leadership that brings people together, as opposed to drives them apart, and that renews old alliances and creates new coalitions.
So we've gotten a lot of stuff done. But right now what's on my mind is what hasn't gotten done yet. We're going to have to fix a broken immigration system, and that not--that is not yet complete. And we've got to make sure that, even as we're securing our borders, we also recognize that we are a nation of immigrants and that we want everybody to be able to partake in the American Dream.
We've got to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. I mean, New York looks pretty good, but we've got a lot of work to do on bridges and sewer systems, but also on the new infrastructure of a new age, making sure that we've got the best broadband systems and the best wireless systems and the smart grids and the high-speed rails that will help move people and goods and services and information all throughout this great country of ours.
We still have a lot of work to do on energy. You know, tomorrow I'm going to give an energy speech. The last time gas prices were this high was in 2008 when I was running. And you remember what was going on right back then. The other side kept on talking about "drill, baby, drill." That was the slogan.
What we were talking about was breaking the pattern of being shocked at high prices and then, as prices go down, being lulled into a trance, but instead, let's actually have a plan. Let's, yes, increase domestic oil production, but let's also invest in solar and wind and geothermal and biofuels, and let's make our buildings more efficient and our cars more efficient. Not all of that work is done yet, but I'm not finished yet. We've got more work to do.
We're going to have to work to get our deficit under control. I inherited a big debt and a big deficit. And regardless of how we assign fault, all of us are responsible to work together to try to make sure that we can actually, in good conscience, be able to tell our children and our grandchildren we didn't leave a mountain of debt to them.
And that's going to require some hard choices, and it's going to require us not just telling the American people what they want to hear, but telling them what they need to hear. And I think the American people are ready for that, but it's not going to be easy. And if we're serious about winning the future, then all of us are going to have to recognize that we've got to have a government that lives within its means, that's investing in the things that we have to invest in to win the future, which means that we're going to have to cut out some things that we don't need, even if they're nice to have.
So if you go down this list and you say, not bad for 2 years work, the one thing that I want everybody here to understand is that I am as hopeful, if not more hopeful, now than I was when I was running.
You know, I did a bunch of network interviews today to talk about what we're doing in Libya and why what happens in the Middle East is so important to us and why those images coming from Tahrir Square in Egypt speak directly to who we are as a people and that ultimately our long-term security will be because a new generation of leadership in that region recognizes we aspire for them to have opportunity and to be successful.
And Diane Sawyer, I think it was, she started listing out, well, let's see, two wars that you've dealt with, a couple of earthquakes, nuclear situation in Japan, H1N1 virus, worst recession since the Great Depression. "No wonder you look old," she said. [Laughter]
Audience member. You look great! [Laughter]
The President. No, she actually did not say, "No wonder you look old." [Laughter] But I do appreciate you saying that I look great. [Laughter] I need encouragement too once in a while. [Laughter]
But no, what she said was, well, you know what, how do you kind of--when you get up in the morning, how do you stay focused and motivated? Don't you want to just pull the covers over your head sometimes?
And what I said was that after 2 1/2 years in this job, or close to 2 1/2 years, the thing that continually keeps me going is my complete confidence in the American people.
You know, they--there's a lot of talk about how divided America is and how frustrated and angry, and in some cases, people make arguments that especially the next generation, somehow they're apathetic or they're not involved. I don't see that. I mean, what I see are people who every day are doing the right thing by their families, by their communities. They're getting up, they're going to work, or they're out there pounding the pavement looking for work. They're managing budgets under incredible strain, but they're doing so with grace and good humor.
I see people who, day in and day out, are making sure that--we got some----
[At this point, there was a disruption in the audience.]
The President. Do we have somebody here to just--we don't need--we've got--somebody is always following me around, so they'll be fine. It's just, next time you guys come, make sure to eat or drink ahead of time.
But what I see in the American people is just a core goodness and a core decency that expresses itself in so many different ways each and every day. But that spirit, it's got to be expressed not just in the workplace, not just on the Little League field or in church or a synagogue or a mosque. It also has to be expressed in our politics.
And so the biggest thing that we haven't gotten done and the thing that I'm going to ask all of you to be part of over the next couple of years, we still have a big job to do in transforming our politics, to make sure that we can have robust debate and real policy differences, but we never forget that what binds us together is always stronger than what drives us apart and that for all the differences in race and region and ethnicity and background, we are all Americans, and we believe in a set of fundamental principles, truths that we hold self-evident. That is going to be as much of the unfinished business that we focus on over the next couple years as anything that we do. And having friends like you who are here and ready to commit to that vision, that too makes me extraordinarily confident.
So thank you so much, everybody. I love you. Let's go to work. Yes, we can.
Audience members. Yes, we can!
The President. Yes, we can. God bless you.
Note: The President spoke at 8:51 p.m. at the Studio Museum in Harlem. In his remarks, he referred to Diane Sawyer, anchor, ABC's "World News With Diane Sawyer" program.


Home windows devices are designed to push the boundaries of what you expect to do into the realm of what you hope to do. EDSAC (1949), a British computer, was the first to make use of it personal saved applications, using the so-known as von Neumann structure , nonetheless utilized by up to date computer scientists. A tablet COMPUTER is a cell computer geared up with a touch-display screen or hybrid display which allows the consumer to function it by use of a digital pen or fingertip, as a substitute of the traditional keyboard and mouse. The largest in size, the costliest in worth than every other is classified and known as tremendous computer. Job applicants with a computer engineering diploma from an ABET-accredited program can have better chances of landing a job.
To complete traditional tablet computers, a new phenomena has also emerged in the name of phablet A phablet is a tablet computer however a lot smaller and greater than a smartphone. Artinya, mobile computer telah menjadi barang yang sifatnya sangat penting bagi beberapa orang. To help you visualize easier, I will make a comparability: A computer with a median configuration presently (early in 2015) has a configuration that is 10 instances highly effective than my computer. When business leaders discuss what they need from new recruits, they hardly mention computer abilities, which they find they will educate workers relatively simply on their own. It's commonplace these days for households to personal more than one type of computer. Computer hardware engineers normally work in research laboratories that construct and check varied sorts of computer models.
Mainframe : a robust multi-user computer capable of supporting many hundreds or hundreds of users concurrently. Lucybell21 and Rhelena, Thanks for dropping by. I assume I am not the only one that drinks across the computer. A workstation is sort of a personal computer, but it has a more powerful microprocessor and the next-quality monitor. Most computer hardware engineers need a bachelor's degree from an accredited computer engineering program. When most people hear the phrase computer, they think of a private computer such as a desktop or laptop computer.
Thanks shivam, I'll work on your request and provide you with some more purposes of computer networks. A network card is used to connect the computer or the LAPTOP to an present network resembling LAN (Local Area Community). Before you start connecting your printer to your computer, just be sure you are already accomplished with the HP printer setup on your computer. The Work Setting tab contains the variety of jobs held in the occupation and describes the workplace, the extent of physical activity anticipated, and typical hours worked. In 1951, the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Company was renamed the Univac Division of Remington Rand.
A typical modern computer can execute billions of instructions per second ( gigaflops ) and infrequently makes a mistake over a few years of operation. While processing withdrawals and deposits by way of ATM machines, communication between the Mainframe and remote computer will help accomplish the financial transactions at hand. Services at reasonably priced costs and onsite restore amenities are additionally accessible, relying upon the feasibility. Have interaction with skilled studying communities like 100kin10 to find assets and colleagues, together with those who have created computer science and computational pondering experiences inside many Okay-12 subjects.

Office Building Extension: A dramatic new work space for a major broadcasting company
We've delivered several projects on White Rose Office Park, which is home to a number of significant companies. One of these tenants – a major sports broadcasting company – had outgrown its existing offices, and needed a large extension that would connect seamlessly with the existing block.
A decade had passed since the last masterplan for the Knowledge Gateway – the University of Essex's research and business park in Colchester – and the University commissioned us to create a new one. The masterplan would help to increase density on the site, and would explore options for a number of new buildings including an innovation centre, as well as student accommodation.
We needed to consider carefully the ways in which the Knowledge Gateway would relate to the main Colchester campus. We also had to structure our masterplan with an eye to the journey of a fledgling company: beginning at the new business school, moving on to the innovation centre, then to small incubator units, and finally to larger premises.
Approach + Solution
Our proposals make the most of the site's parkland character, with all buildings looking out onto green space from at least one façade. Proposed academic buildings to the south east of the site will lead visitors from the Colchester campus into the Knowledge Gateway, while a new focal building greets those coming from the A133.
Following the masterplan, we have also designed the innovation centre. Designed to be highly sustainable, it includes PV solar panels on the roof, as well as exposed concrete soffits to help regulate the temperature inside.
We've also designed two buildings for the Parkside area of the Knowledge Gateway for companies moving on to the next stage of their development. Flexibility is key to our approach, and each building will be relatively easy to adapt to differently sized companies, with flexible floor plates. The first of the two buildings is at the entrance to the wider site, signposting the way to an exciting future at the Knowledge Gateway.
"Our new innovation centre will deliver a step change in the use of our cutting-edge research to improve productivity, support companies across the technology, professional service and creative sectors, and create high-quality new jobs."

Like general learning, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for English language learners (ELLs). The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that approximately 10 percent of public school students in the United States are ELLs. They come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, with varying levels of proficiency and at different stages of the language acquisition process.
The Silent Period - Students have little to no fluency or understanding of the language at this stage, and are most responsive to visual and non-verbal commands and information.
Early Production - As they become more confident and comfortable speaking out loud in front of the teacher and fellow classmates, students begin to use one- or two-word phrases and simple sentences to communicate.
Speech Emergence - At this stage ELL students begin to develop basic reading and writing skills in English, and can verbally communicate with longer and more complex sentences.
Intermediate Fluency - When first learning a new language, students think in their first language and work in a sort of translation with the second language. As fluency progresses, they can think in the second language with greater comprehension and complexity in both written and verbal communication.
Advanced Fluency - At this stage, the student has achieved near native mastery of the second language, which can take an average of two to 10 years, depending on the student and their individual circumstances.
Making allowances for where each student is on his or her journey to learning English as a second language and taking a creative approach to a curriculum can help to engage and set students at ease, especially in the earlier stages when the language and cultural customs may be completely alien and overwhelming for a new learner.
There has always been (and will probably always be) debate about the best approaches to teaching in any subject area, and acquiring a new language is no exception. There are a few methods for teaching ESL students that teachers have found valuable.
Emphasize Visual Learning - Even though an overwhelming majority of people are reported to be visual learners, most teaching approaches rely heavily on auditory (oral) instruction. Language curriculums are no different (if you've ever wondered why infographics and YouTube learning have exploded, this might help explain the phenomenon!) Visual commands and materials are especially effective for ELL students in the silent period.
Total Physical Response (TPR) - Like visual tools, the TPR method combines physical actions in the language acquisition process (waving hello, thumbs up or down, high five) to engage the students and forge visual and verbal connections with the material.
Group Work - Allowing students to work in small mixed groups can take the pressure off of new language learners and allow them to practice in a low-pressure setting and developing their confidence by engaging with other English language speakers.
Give Advance Notice - Handing out materials in advance gives students time to review and become familiar with the work, even if they don't completely understand it.

The top pic is Duffus in his glory days as my husband calls him...'Beverley Hills Chihuahua'. Miss Phil loves to dress him up. He just sits there and looks nonplussed.
The bottom photos are of Duffus Dawg after a stressful morning at the vets yesterday. He's not a very cooperative pooch when it comes to vets and we have to muzzle him to take an examination.
Duffus has what is called as Cherry Eye. It's something to do with the eyelids and is a gland that bulges. Unfortunately it can only be fixed with surgery which is not inexpensive. Reading about it though has me worried, as information says that it can also occur in the other eye.
So on Friday he's off to day surgery to have the bulge pushed back in and here's hoping all goes well and we have no further complications. The difficult part is applying the anti-biotic ointment to the eye 3-4 times a day. I have to sneak up on him when he's sleepy and squirt the stuff in his eye and then rub his eyelids together to make sure it gets in. Also, every time he's outside he comes back with a face caked with dirt where he's tried to rub the ointment off. I had to bath him last night because he was getting filthy, rolling around in the dirt. The other alternative is buying him a muzzle, but even that can prove tricky, so I've also resorted to placing a bit on my thumb and pretending to rub his head and swiftly wiping the ointment over his eye.
Oh the joys of owning a pet. But we wouldn't have it any other way, and Miss Phil would definitely not be the same girl without him. He really has changed everything around in our lives. And for the better I might add.
There are a lot more laughs and crazy chases in the yard these days. And at night it's just not the same without Duffus Dawg and moments snuggling in on the couch, peppered with fast-running paws chasing down some cat or bird I suppose in some dream, as well as loud, contented snores when he's fast asleep.
