As OPEC heads into its March 17-18th OPEC+ coalition "Joint Technical Committee and Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee" meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, they are making it clear that they are considering an extension of OPEC production cuts but also warning the U.S. not to think about instituting a NOPEC bill that would allow the government to sue the cartel. According to a Bloomberg report, they would start a production war, call on every member to raise production to maximum capacity, causing a crash in oil prices, and continue to work to bring the shale oil producers to their knees.
Yet without a bill, they plan on draining supply and driving the price of Brent oil basis back to $80 a barrel, tweet or no tweet. OPEC is still fuming about President Trump's last-minute reversal on Iranian oil sanctions when he granted waivers, especially after OPEC and their partner in crime Russia, tried to appease the president by raising production. Now the gloves have come off and the cartel wants revenge and they are going to stay tighter and show that they will not be swayed by the U.S. President.
OPEC is covering their tracks and they are making a case for even further cuts by lowering their demand estimate for crude oil. In their latest report, they lowered their 2019 demand forecast to 30.46 million barrels per day, 130,000 bpd less than last month's forecast. OPEC is also calling on others to cut output and they will not be swayed from their production cut goals, despite evidence that their determinization will lead to a supply deficit in the near future.

After the French and Indian War was won by the English in Europe and on the seas and the Colonies in North America, the Colonists and especially the Scots/Irish were full of self confidence and ready to take on anything. They started becoming active in the government of the colonies, and they were for autonomy and independence. When the English started taxing the colonies to pay for the reconstruction of the English economy and military, the colonists objected severely. Many of the King's tax collectors who were specified by the Stamp Act were beaten, tarred and feathered, and rode out of town on rails. When that was deemed a failure by the crown, and the tariff was imposed on many trade goods which were sent to the colonies, ie. tea, the colonists were fed up.
"Upon considering the charges against Alexander Miller, the defendant, as well as the evidence adduced in support of the same, and also the verdict of the jury, we, the Court, are of opinion that the matter, as far as it relates to aiding and giving intelligence to the enemy, comes within the ordinance of Convention, and therefore give judgment: That the said Miller be confined to the bounds of the plantation whereon he now lives, in this County, till the end of the present war with Great Britain, and that he do not in any manner aid, abet, correspond, or converse with the enemies of America, nor argue nor reason with any person or persons whatsoever on any political subject relating to the dispute between Britain and America, or until he be thence discharged by the Executive Power, or General Assembly, of the Commonwealth of Virginia; and in the meantime he, the said Miller, be kept in safe custody until he shall enter into bond himself in the sum of one hundred pounds and two good securities in the sum of fifty pounds each. And that the whole of the costs of this prosecution be levied on the estate of said Alexander Miller. viz: To Thomas Smith and James Hill, they finding themselves and horses for going 120 miles to William Hutchison's, on Indian Creek, in Botetourt County, each at the rate of 4 pence per mile, and for returning the same distance with the prisoner, at the rate of 4 pence per mile each. To Robert McFarland, summoned by the officer; to assist, for going 50 miles, at 4 pence per mile. To the witnesses for attending one day each, 25 pounds of tobacco, or two shillings and one penny, viz: William Ewing, Silas Hart, Mary Erwin, James Montgomery, William Givens, Robert McFarland, Thomas Smith, and James Hill. To the clerk, for attendance two days, twenty shillings. To the sheriff, for attending the Court and summoning the jury, twenty shillings. To Daniel Kidd, for summoning the witnesses, in which he rode 150 miles, at 4 pence per mile. And that the clerk issue executions for the above sums, respectively, when required thereto by the claimants.
Judge Samuel McDowell had been a Captain in the French and Indian War, commissioned on 16 August 1759. On 21 November 1759, he was installed as County Commissioner and Justice (1772) in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Col. Samuel McDowell, the son of Capt. John McDowell of Virginia, was a captain of the Rangers Company at the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. At the Battle of Point Pleasant, he served as aide-de-camp to General Isaac Shelby, who later became the first governor of Kentucky. Samuel became a Colonel in the Revolutionary War, serving in Nathaniel Greene's campaign in North Carolina, and was with the army that drove Gen. Cornwallis to Wilmington. In 1775 in conjunction with his kinsman Thomas Lewis, the son of settler John and brother of the hero of Point Pleasant, was chosen to represent the freeholders of Augusta in the convention which met at Richmond, Virginia. Samuel was a member of the 2nd convention that met at Williamsburg in 1776. He served with John and James his two eldest sons as officers in the Revolutionary War. Samuel, his youngest son was a private. He held the rank of Colonel and distinguished himself in the battle of Guilford Court House. He raised a battalion at his own expense to aid in repelling the invasion of Virginia by Benedict Arnold. In 1783 he was appointed with Col. Thomas Marshall as a surveyor of the public lands in Fayette County, then one third of Kentucky.
Samuel, like his father and many of the other McDowells, was trained in the skills of surveying. Gen. Lord Charles Cornwallis, the British commander, had appointed Major Patrick Ferguson as Inspector of Militia for South Carolina to defeat the local militia and to recruit Loyalists. Ferguson's opposition included men from South Carolina's backwoods under Thomas (the Gamecock) Sumter which included William McDowell; North Carolinians commanded by Gen. Charles McDowell (the son of Joseph McDowell, b. 1715); and Overmountain men from today's Tennessee under Gen. Isaac Shelby, who later became the first Governor of Kentucky and the father-in-law of Dr. Ephraim McDowell (b. 1771), a son of Col. Samuel McDowell (b. 1735) of Virginia and later Kentucky.
Moving into North Carolina, Ferguson attempted to intimidate the western settlers, threatening to march into the mountains and "lay waste the country with fire and sword" if they did not lay down their arms and pledge allegiance to the King. The response was a furious army formed on the western frontier. Growing in numbers as they marched east, some 900 men gave chase to Ferguson, surrounding his army at Kings Mountain, South Carolina, and killing or capturing Ferguson's entire command. Pieces from Col. Ferguson's china dinnerware were presented to Col. Joseph McDowell of Pleasant Gardens (b. 1758) in recognition of his heroism at King's Mountain and are still prized by family members today. This victory was referred to as " . . . That Turn of the Tide of Success" by Thomas Jefferson.
Ferguson's defeat was a stunning blow to British fortunes. The strength of the Patriot militia was affirmed. The hoped for Loyalist support didn't materialize. Cornwallis was forced to pull back from North Carolina, giving the Continental Army time to bring fresh regulars and new commanders south. On January 17,1781, Daniel Morgan, using Continentals and militia, under which Major John McDowell (another son of Capt. Joseph McDowell of North Carolina served, defeated Colonel Banastre Tarleton's British army at Cowpens, South Carolina. That winter saw a running campaign between Cornwallis and the armies of Morgan and Nathanael Greene. Try as Cornwallis might, the Americans always seemed to cross the river to safety before Cornwallis could cut them off.
In 1781, Col. Samuel McDowell (b. 1735) who had commanded the Rockbridge Militia at the Battle of Guilford Court House, in June of 1781 was sworn in at Staunton, Virginia as a member of the Governor's Council alongside Governor Nelson at the same time and place. At Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina, on March 15th, Greene finally turned to face Cornwallis. Greene's army including Col. Samuel McDowell's militia, was driven from the battlefield, but Cornwallis suffered severe losses which he could not replace. Cornwallis pulled back to recuperate, finally moving his army north into Virginia without subduing North Carolina. In the fall of 1781, George Washington rushed his army south to join French reinforcements. When French warships fortuitously gained control of the Chesapeake Bay, Cornwallis was besieged and forced to surrender on October 19,1781, just over a year after Kings Mountain.
During the Revolutionary War, the McDowell militia regiment of North Carolina, as members and commanders of the militias of "Overmountain" and the "Backwater" Men, fought victoriously at numerous battles of the war. McDowell County in western North Carolina is named in honor of Col. Joseph "Pleasant Gardens" McDowell who had distinguished himself during the Revolutionary War by successfully employing guerrilla warfare tactics against numerically superior Loyalist forces. His cousin Brig. General Charles McDowell (b. 1743, who married his cousin Grace Grizzel Greenlee Bowman in 1760) and his cousin Maj. Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell (b. 1756) also served in the Revolutionary War. The story of Grace Grizzel Greenlee Bowman McDowell, like her gravestone in Quaker Meadows cemetery, is time-worn and seldom contemplated, for the short pamplet biography written by William Carson Ervin (a cousin to the McDowells through both the Erwins and Carsons) and published by the North Carolina Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the turn of the century is long out-of-print and, in intervening years, has acquired some of the flavor of an old-fashioned Valentine. Though her story is early American, there are elements redolent of the Old World beyond the waters.
To begin with, she was christened with a melodious name, but was also known as Grizzel (Grissel or Grizel) and old French variant of the name Grace, held in the McDowell (MacDowall) family since their days in Scotland. It is a small name most applicable to a pretty girl or, at least, one endowed with the indefinable quality of charm. Grizzel has a fairytale ring to it, but certain legends indicate that she had qualities, too, that were attributed to a later, fictitious heroine called Katie Scarlett O'Hara. Then, too, her mother Mary Elizabeth McDowell Greenlee, lived into the incredible old age of 104 years, a circumstance (among others) that caused whispers to pass that her longevity was due to the practice of witchcraft. Grace was born in a log cabin in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, settled by her parents' two families in 1737. Grace was only 5 years old when the French and Indian War erupted, and during its long course, many people who were neighbors to her family abandoned their cabin homes and forsook the valley, others like the Greenlees and the McDowells, stayed on and suffered the loss of family members and friends. Capt. John McDowell, one of her uncles, was killed in 1742 at the battle of Balcony Falls. The time eventually came when her father James Greenlee thought it his duty to settle his daughter for life, and he promised her in marriage to a wealthy landowner much older than she. It is obvious that Grace must have assented to this old world custom, though perhaps reluctantly.
That my dear John had bled.
Tears that must ever fall!
No cries awoke the dead.
A mother and father unto thee oh.
She came home to her role as a new widow and mother to Polly and a woman with lands to till and no man in the house, but slaves to plant and harvest for her. She became a planter, and from the fruit of her fields and the fields of others became a procurer of supplies for the rebel Whigs and their unofficial quartermaster, with wagons of food and supplies going for their need. She had her encounters too, with local Tories and sometimes bested them. He biographer records with enjoyment that "on one occasion...she pursued some Tories who had plundered her home...and compelled the robbers, at the point of a musket, to give up her property...another story..is that on one occasion some of Tarleton's troopers carried away some of the Bowman horses. This courageous woman rode into the British camp some miles away and demanded her horses from the officer in charge, and was allowed to bring them back in triumph. In the fall of 1782, she married her cousin Charles McDowell and went to live at McDowell Station (Quaker Meadows) and most assuredly shared the house with Margaret O'Neill McDowell, her mother-in-law. Grace was to bear five McDowell children,..." Senators, judges, soldiers, lawyers, leaders in business and the professions are her sons. Brilliant and beautiful women are her daughters". Grace Greenlee Bowman McDowell was only 32 years old when she married for the second time to Charles McDowell. "Though it cannot be said with any certainty that she lived happily ever after, the wilderness girl, after the end of the second war she had experienced, their nearness to her almost participation, became, for her time and area, the Great Lady, and we hope that she had some silken dresses for her back, for her new husband (Charles), we know, after he no longer wore his uniform, did, on occasion, wear velvet knee britches with silver buckles at the knee, and silver buckles on his shoes".
On the 2th of September 1780, Major Patrick Ferguson with some seventy of the American Loyalist Volunteers, and several hundred Tory militiamen set out for western North Carolina and the foothills of the mighty Blue Ridge mountains of Appalachia. Lieutenant Anthony Allaire maintained his diary of marches and countermarches and "getting in motion", and provided a graphic report of what kind of medical attention awaited the wounded of either side in the Back Country. At Wofford's iron works they met a "Rebel militia-man that got wounded in the right arm at the skirmish at Cedar Springs, the 8th of August. The bone was very much shattered. It was taken off by one (Mr.) Frost, a blacksmith, with a shoemaker's knife and carpenter's saw. He stopped the blood with the fungus of the oak, without taking up a blood vessel." We can only assume that the Rebel's anesthetic was a liberal supply of whiskey. But given the state of surgery then and the resemblance of military field hospitals to slaughterhouses, the Rebel could have been in worse hands than Frost the blacksmith.
On 7 September, Ferguson and his men crossed into North Carolina and marched to Gilbert Town (later Rutherfordton), about 55 miles west of Charlotte, where Ferguson set up his base of operations. Lt. Allaire described it as containing "one dwelling house, one barn, a blacksmith's shop, and some out-houses." Here in the dark of night would occur a bloody deed in the savage Carolina conflict that in English we call civil war but is best expressed in the telling German word Bruderkrieg (brother's war).
Lt. Allaire described a skirmish with Col. Charles McDowell's band on Cane Creek, about 21 miles north of Gilbert Town, when forty American Loyalist Volunteers and 100 Tory militia finally came into contact with the Rebels: "We totally routed...those congress heroes. Our loss was two wounded and one killed." Rebel accounts collected years after the skirmish claim that McDowell initiated the action and that several Tories were killed before the Rebels retreated. After this action, Charles McDowell and his men crossed the mountains and took refuge with the Overmountain Men at the Watauga Settlements. Two days later, Allaire wrote that "the poor, deluded people of this Province begin to be sensible of their error, and come in very fast." Little did he know that Col. Charles McDowell had concocted a plan that was now coming into play. What Lt. Allaire, and at least for a while Patrick Ferguson, did not know was that many if not most of the people coming in to take British protection and even to swear oaths of allegiance to George III were doing so as part of McDowell's deliberate Rebel policy to save the region's cattle herds. According to written statements made in 1797 by two prominent North Carolina militia officers, then Maj. Joseph McDowell and Col. David Vance, both of whom participated in the campaign, Col. McDowell, who was then in charge, suggested this trick to the leading men of the country. Some had absolutely refused and instead drove all the cattle they could find to the heads of deep mountain glens. "Hunting" John had driven his cattle up to the cove. Others were prevailed on to follow Charles McDowell's suggestion. In doing so they risked and often bore the brunt of public obloquy for their actions, for obviously this deliberate policy to deceive the British and save Rebel herds could not be shared with the populace lest leaks occur.
But Patrick Ferguson did begin to suspect that he was the victim of a ruse. His men were in need of meat, and so he took a force into the field to search for Rebel cattle. Accompanying him was the noted Indian fighter Captain - later Colonel - John Carson, who was one of the men who had agreed to Col. Charles' plan. John Carson was the husband of Rachel Matilda McDowell and of Mary Moffett McDowell, the widow of Col. Joseph "Pleasant Gardens" McDowell. Rachel was a daughter of "Hunting" John McDowell of Pleasant Gardens (Col. Charles' cousin) and his wife Ann Evans Edmiston McDowell, and Mary was the sister of Charles' brother Col. Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell's wife Margaretta and also a daughter of Col. George Moffett and Sarah Martha McDowell - daughter of Capt. John McDowell and the granddaughter of Ephraim McDowell of Rockbridge and Augusta Counties, Virginia. Both women were close relatives of Col. Charles McDowell, the Patriot commander. Ferguson found a large herd roaming in the cane-breaks. Ferguson's men assumed that the cattle belonged to Rebels and began slaughtering them. John Carson, who knew who owned the cattle, watched without comment until over 100 head had been slaughtered. Then he observed that it was possible that they belonged to three Tories who had joined Ferguson's force. The upshot of this incident was that the owners of the cattle, loyal Tories all, were incensed, the Rebels made sure that the story was spread abroad, and Patrick Ferguson realized that he had been outwitted. But John Carson's good name, temporarily sacrificed for the Rebel cause, was not easily recovered. Many years after the Revolution a man charged that John Carson had been a Tory. John Carson's son, Samuel Price Carson, a member of Congress, thereupon challenged the slanderer to a duel and killed him.
Lt. Anthony Allaire also became aware that the countryside harbored people not "sensible of their error." On the 15th of September, with forty American Volunteers and a few hundred militia, he "got in motion" again, in one four-mile stretch found Cane Creek "so amazingly crooked that we were obliged to cross it nineteen times," and on the following day encountered a "very handsome place," still known as Pleasant Gardens (the home of "Hunting" John McDowell's family), a settlement "composed of the most violent Rebels I ever saw, particularly the young ladies." The hospitality was just as thin at Quaker Meadows. Prior to the Battle of King's Mountain on 7 October, where Col. Joseph of Pleasant Gardens, Col. Charles and his brother Maj. Joseph McDowell were leading figures, men from Colonel Ferguson's army visited Quaker Meadows and ransacked the McDowell's house, appropriating the clothing of Charles and Joseph. They told the men's mother Margaret O'Neill McDowell, who presided over the house, that when they caught Charles they would kill him outright. Joe, they would kill on bended knees after humiliating him by making him beg for his life. The Irish Margaret O'Neill McDowell, far from being intimidated or overawed, bade them to be careful lest all the begging should be done by themselves. Margaret O'Neill McDowell, by her defiance of the Tories, is one of the few women recognized by the Daughters of the Revolution as being a patriot of the Revolution."
Recalled as a striking woman, intelligent, articulate and with tendency for speaking her mind with a deep-rooted hatred of the English. Margaret O'Neill was a daughter of Laird Samuel O'Neill of County Antrim. She was born and raised in Ireland's Shane's Castle, the home of the O'Neills and descendants of the great Con O'Neill and of Hugh O'Neill - the leader of Tyrone's Rebellion. Many other McDowells served during the American Revolution including Maj. John McDowell (born 1757 in Virginia and married to Hannah Keller - the daughter of Hannah McDowell and John Keller), Maj. James McDowell of Mecklenburg County (Commander at the Battle of Cowpens), Col. John McDowell of Mecklenburg County, William McDowell of South Carolina, Ensign James McDowell, a Lt. John McDowell, two doctors named John McDowell, and many others.
Skirmishes in North Carolina were commonplace between the supporters of Independence and loyalist Tories. A noted Tory was killed by James Gray on Col. John McDowell's (Cleghorn) Plantation in Mecklenburg County prior to the gathering for the impending battle at King's Mountain. From Scotland to Ulster to Rutherford County, these people (the Scots/Irish) had survived centuries of living in a hard environment, which made them hard, both physically and socially. Through famine, plague, poor soil for crops, and constant fighting, they learned to fight back, to give blow for blow, and above all to endure. They had been tempered by their religion, but it too was a hard religion, steeped in the old testament religion of the Lord of battle. And finally these men came to the gathering at Sycamore Shoals, a gathering primarily of Presbyterians. They were joined by Colonel William Campbell (kin to the McDowells of Virginia) and his men from Western Virginia, by Isaac Shelby and John Sevier, from that area, and they determined to go and get Ferguson. But first they would have a religious service, after all, six of their commanders were elders of the church: Colonels Campbell, Cleveland, (Charles) McDowell, Shelby, Sevier, and Williams.
It was altogether fitting that they would gather there along with their women folk and children, under the preaching of the Reverend Sam Doaks, a Presbyterian Minister. He had done his share of fighting but would not go with them after Ferguson, but stay in defense of the women and children. He preached a powerful sermon admonishing the men to do their duty in the upcoming battle. He prayed and asked the Lord to note the similarities of these men to the army of Gideon in the fight against the Midianites and he ended his prayer with the words of Gideon when he instructed his men to surround the enemy and on the signal of the trumpets to shout, 'The Sword of The Lord and of Gideon.' Reverend Sam paused. Then raised his arms and his voice to the gathering and told them "let that be your battle cry. The Sword of The Lord and of Gideon". The men shouted back "The Sword of The Lord and of Gideon."
As a General in the Revolutionary War, Charles McDowell, the son of Capt. Joseph McDowell (b. 1715) of Virginia and North Carolina, commanded a regiment of 160 soldiers from Burke and Rutherford counties North Carolina. His troops fought at the battle of King's Mountain, although he was not present during the battle. He served as the commander of forces that captured and destroyed a fort on June 1780 at the Pacolet River. Brig. Gen. Charles McDowell commanded with Gen. Isaac Shelby at Cedar Hill and commanded forces at Musgrove Hill and Cave Creek. On 12 September 1780, Gen. Charles McDowell had ambushed part of Ferguson's army at Cane Creek but was driven off and fled to Sycamore Shoals to await reinforcement by the Overmountain men.
In late September, 1780, William and his cousin Arthur Campbell assembled the Washington County, Virginia militia. On 25 September 1780, Isaac Shelby, John Sevier, and William Campbell mustered the militia of the Watauga and Holston Valleys at Sycamore Shoals of the Watauga River (Elizabethton) to join the Burke County militia under Charles McDowell. Fort Watauga is today reconstructed at the Tennessee historic area. In 1780, this was North Carolina, later the State of Franklin (or Frankland), later the Southwest Territory. On 30 September 1780, North Carolinians under Benjamin Cleveland, Joseph Winston, and William Lenoir joined the Overmountain men at the McDowell home at Quaker Meadows. On 1 and 2 October 1780, the army stopped and camped to dry out and prepared for battle expected soon. The unpopular Charles McDowell was persuaded to step aside as commander. A tireless campaigner in 1780, he stepped down from command rather than split the Patriot army. Gen. William Campbell of Virginia, whose descendants were cousins to the Prestons and McDowells of Virginia, was chosen as a compromise replacement. With his army disbanded in September 1780 and Gen. Charles resigned his commission, but continued to support the patriots by manufacturing powder with the help of his wife Grace Grizzel Greenlee Bowman McDowell, and secretly carrying it to the army for use at the Battle of King's Mountain on 7 October 1780.
A month before in September, Charles McDowell had ridden to ask for a regular Continental officer to command his forces, aware of his own shortcomings as a military commander. Leading the largest contingent of militia, the Virginian Gen. William Campbell was chosen by his fellow colonels to command in Charles McDowell's place. Though not a great military man, Charles later served as a member of the North Carolina state senate, 1782-1788 and of the North Carolina House of Commons in 1809-1810.
Maj. Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell had entered the army in the regiment of his brother General Charles McDowell as its Major, in February 1776, at the age of twenty-two. They had fought in expeditions against the Scots Tories and the Cherokee Indians, who had attacked the Catawba settlements. In July 1776, he helped defend a fort containing 120 women and children with his brother Charles and nine other men against the Cherokees. They were also on the Rutherford campaign against the Cherokees. Their other battles included Ramsour Mills, Musgraves Mill, Earle's Ford on the Pacolet, the Cowpens in January 1781, and Kings Mountain in October 1780, where his cousin Col. Joseph of Pleasant Gardens was in charge of the regiment. In a history by Draper, "The bayonet charge down the mountain by Ferguson's regulars was driven back by the well directed fire from the rifles of (Gen. Isaac) Shelby's and (Col. Joseph) McDowell's men. The victory was complete." This is the source of a long running dispute within the family. Both Josephs' of Quaker Meadows and of Pleasant Gardens' descendants claim their respective Joseph was the Hero of King's Mountain. The combined evidence indicates that Col. Joseph of Pleasant Gardens was indeed the Joseph McDowell to be credited here. The monument at King's Mountain bears neither's name, as a testament to the strength of both side's contention and the veracity of the dispute.
As an aftermath of the Battle of King's Mountain, thirty-six Tories were tried for treason and were to be hung. Among the group that was tried by the ad hoc military council were the brothers John and Arthur McFall. John McFall almost got off. All he had done was verbally abuse a Rebel's wife and whip their ten-year old son with a switch cut from a tree for refusing to feed the horses of McFall's band and telling McFall, "If you want your horses fed, feed them yourself." Major Joseph McDowell recommended leniency. Colonel Benjamin Cleveland sternly disagreed. "That man, McFall, went to the house of Martin Davenport, one of my best soldiers, when he was away from home fighting for his country, insulted his wife, and whipped his child, and no such man ought to be allowed to live." McFall was found guilty. The McDowells were successful in saving John McFall's brother, Arthur, who after the war became a famous hunter in the mountains and never forgot the McDowell's for saving him, and lived to between the ages of ninety and 100. Of the thirty-six convicted, only 9 were actually hung. One of the men who received mercy that day told Col. Isaac Shelby, who had proposed the hangings end after the first nine, "You have saved my life, and I will tell you a secret. (Gen. Banastre) Tarleton will be here in the morning. A woman has brought the news." Gen. Banastre Tarleton was known as Bloody Tarleton or Bloody Ban since his butchery at the Battle of Waxhaws. "Tarleton's Quarter" became synonymous with "No Prisoners".
In 1779, Maj. Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell fought in the Stono expedition. In the Revolutionary forces, while serving under his brother Charles, the Commander of District, he fought in all the battles of western North Carolina. Entering the service of the state at the close of the war, he was sent to the House of Commons in 1787, serving until 1792. In 1788, he was a delegate to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention, in which he was a leader of the opposition that rejected the Federal Constitution until a Bill of Rights was added. He passed from the House of Commons to Congress in 1797, where for 7 years he was an active opponent of the federalists, serving in 1787 as a commissioner for settling the boundary line between Tennessee and North Carolina. He wielded a strong influence as a Republican (Whig) leader in western section of his state of North Carolina. McDowell County in Western North Carolina is, however, named in his cousin Col. Joseph "Pleasant Gardens" honor, who had served in congress.
Maj. John McDowell, the son of Col. Samuel McDowell of Virginia and Kentucky, had served as the commander of Company 1 of Morgan's Rifle Regiment, commanded by Gen. Daniel Morgan at the Battle of Saratoga. Morgan's Regiment was recruited from the settlers of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. They were the first in the field and the last out of it. A report to Congress accorded the glory of the action at Saratoga on 19 September and 7 October 1777 "entirely to the valor of the rifle regiment and corps of light infantry under the command of Col. Morgan". Morgan's men were armed each with a rifle, a tomahawk, and a long knife and were known as "The Corps of Rangers". They were dressed in flannel shirts, cloth or buckskin breeches, buckskin leggings, and moccasins. Overtop of this, they wore brown linen or buckskin hunting shirts that were confined by a belt holding the knife and tomahawk. They wore caps on which appeared the words "Liberty or Death". Morgan's Regiment was "the corps the army of Gen. Burgoyne was most afraid of". In the Revolutionary War, Maj. John McDowell also served with General George Washington at the crossing of the Delaware, at the battles of Princeton and Trenton, and starved and suffered the winter cold at Valley Forge. He was wounded at Brandywine, and also fought at the battles of Monmouth and Yorktown. Maj. John McDowell was awarded land grants in Kentucky in 1789 for his military service during the Revolutionary War. Major John McDowell later attained his rank of Major during the War of 1812.
A Sgt. John McDowell, of South Carolina was a Sergeant who served with Lt. Col. Francis Marion "the Swamp Fox" in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment Grenadier Company during the Revolutionary War from 4 November 1775 to 1 November 1779 and fought at the Battles of Sullivan's Island and Spring Hill Redoubt. In February 1776, the 2nd South Carolina Regt. had helped build a fort on Sullivan's Island. On 26 June 1776 the fort on Sullivan's Island, later called Fort Moultrie, was attacked by 11 armed British vessels mounting 262 guns, against which the Americans mounted 26. John McDowell was carried on the muster roll of the Grenadier Company, under the command of Col. Isaac Motte on 25 August 1778. This muster role recorded then Private John McDowell's enlistment date as 16 June 1778.
The attack on Fort Sullivan began between ten and eleven in the morning. "A most tremendous cannonade ensued...Colonel Moultrie in command, with 344 regulars and a few volunteer militia, made a defense that would have done honor to experienced veterans." With firing being almost continuous until early evening, the battle finally ended around 9 pm. The British Force of 2,900 men lost over 200 killed and wounded and the American Force of 425 losses were placed at around 35 killed and wounded. The results of the victory at Sullivan's Island were many-fold. For the Americans, it was their first decisive victory. Coming as it did only six days before the final adoption of the Declaration of Independence, it added strength to those magnificent words of Thomas Jefferson. For South Carolina, it produced a confidence in the government led by John Rutledge and forestalled another British effort to take Charleston for over three years. More importantly to both South Carolina and the new nation, this daring feat against odds fired the imagination of its citizens. Here was their model for future triumph. It was here, in a day-long battle, that a gallant and spirited band defeated in desperate conflict an overwhelming naval and military force and having utterly whipped them, drove them from their shores. For the new nation, pride in the victory was unbounded. The Virginia Gazette cheered the South Carolinians: "General 'Lighthorse' Harry Lee and our brave friends in SOUTH CAROLINA ! HUZZA!" For the British the results were humiliating. The folly was incredible and at home in Britain, they became the target of vicious satire. Fort Sullivan (Ft. Moultrie) later became the site of Ft. Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861.
On 1 July 1776, Sgt. John McDowell and William McDowell's regiment, the 2nd South Carolina, was presented a pair of silk colors by Mrs. Bernard Elliott. The Colors were "an elegant pair of colors...one of fine blue silk, the other of a fine red silk, richly embroidered." On 25 August 1778, Private John McDowell was carried on the muster roster of the Grenadier Company of the 2nd South Carolina Regt. under the command of Col. Isaac Motte with his second enlistment date recorded as 16 June 1778. On 9 October 1779, the blue colors were lost in the Battle of Spring Hill Redoubt. Four color bearers were lost in the action. A Captain in the Royal American Regiment wrote that "at the assault on Spring Hill redoubt, Lieutenant Bush being wounded handed the blue color to Sergeant Jasper. Jasper, who had already received a bullet, was then mortally wounded, but returned the color to Lt. Bush who the next minute fell, yet even in the moment of death attempted to protect the flag that was afterwards found beneath him. "No one could have done more, and the color hallowed by the blood of (Lt.) Bush and (Sgt.) Jasper, deserves to deposited under a consecrated roof". The blue color was for many years at the museum of the British 60th Regiment, The King's Royal Rifle Corps, at Winchester, England. After the British had captured Charleston in 1780, Col. Marion and a band of these irregulars roamed the coastal marsh country, raiding enemy outposts and disrupting British and Loyalist activity. When Charleston, South Carolina, surrendered 12 May 1780, the British captured most of the Continental troops in the South. Additional large losses occurred later in the summer with Patriot defeats at Waxhaws, South Carolina, May 29th, and Camden, South Carolina, August 16th. Only Patriot militia remained to oppose a British move through North Carolina into Virginia, America's largest colony. Victory for Royal troops and an end to talk of independence seemed near.
Private Thomas McDowell of South Carolina, served in "the Gamecock" General Thomas Sumter's brigade of South Carolina as a member of Lt. Col. William Polk's "Light Dragoons" in Captain Nathanial M. Martin's company. When the British won control of South Carolina in 1780, Gen. Sumter, Col. Francis Marion, and other partisan fighters kept the rebel cause alive south of Virginia until the victory at Yorktown a year later.

At the age of 81, old Col. Samuel rode horseback from Danville to Nashville to represent the Presbytery in a synodical convention, traveling on an average of 40 miles per day. While back in Virginia, Samuel had taken in his nephew James McDowell (b. 1756) at the age of 16. James was the son of his brother Capt. James McDowell who died in 1772. As a surveyor in Kentucky with his cousin Thomas Lewis, James helped lay out the township of Danville, Kentucky. Judge Samuel McDowell organized the Danville Political Club that shaped the future of the young state of Kentucky. He died in 1817 at the age of 84. His son Dr. Ephraim McDowell studied medicine with Dr. Humphreys in Staunton, Virginia and completed his advanced medical studies at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1795, Dr. Ephraim McDowell (b. 1771 in Rockbridge Co., Virginia. d. 1830 in Kentucky) moved to North Carolina. He was an eminent Surgeon that later moved to Kentucky. He pioneered methods in abdominal surgery. Dr. Ephraim performed the first ovarian surgery in America in 1809. A statue of Dr. Ephraim McDowell stands in passageway of the U.S. Senate in our nation's capitol.

An Interview with Duane Vandenbusche
This winter, Bud Bush interviewed one of our local legends, Duane Vandenbusche. Duane has a wealth of knowledge of the Gunnison valley and other areas of Colorado. Normally the storyteller, this story is about Duane himself. From growing up on a dairy farm to coaching Olympic athletes to being named Colorado State Historian, Duane walks us through his rich 83 years of life and the ups and downs along the way.
Truths of the Heart
By Bud Bush
There are lots of stories, but what about the storyteller? These stories have to come from somewhere, and how do they subsist through the ages? Well, this is a story about the best storyteller in our region, Dr. Duane Vandenbusche.
Many of us have been fortunate enough to hear fascinating historical recaps from Dr. Vandenbusche about heroic expeditions from mineral extractors to mail carriers or the inventions of extreme snow skiing jumps and descents that originated in the Gunnison Valley. Duane Vandenbusche is an accomplished historian, professor, author, lecturer and track coach, but he is also a genuine and charming man who pervades love and a kindly willingness to share his knowledge and experiences.
Duane was born to Belgian immigrants and raised in St. Nicholas on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on a dairy farm, a locale he refers to as the second most beautiful area in the United States. Can you guess his number one destination? Here's a hint: he arrived in the Gunnison Valley in 1962 to work at Western Colorado University and never left.
He was the second person from his community to attend college, and he credits his parents for his determination and work ethic. Following his undergraduate work at Northern Michigan University and graduate degrees from Oklahoma State University, Dr Vandenbusche recollects, "I arrived in Gunnison around Labor Day in 1962. The first night I happened in to the Coach Light for a glass of beer and noticed a picture of a ski jumper over the bar. I said to the bartender, that looks like the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or even Escanaba." It turns out both Duane and John Grodesky were from the same town, so it was a sign that this was the place to be.
Coach and Mentor
Starting as a history professor, Vandenbusche's role evolved to include coaching track, earning twelve national titles in cross country and producing four Olympic runners. Early on, Dr. Vandenbusche helped the track team on the sidelines by clocking the runners. His continued hard work and dedication was noticed and he was quickly assigned to head coach.
Dr. Vandenbusche brought women's track, cross country and skiing to the Gunnison Valley at Western in 1982. He grew up with five sisters who were all good athletes, but they could only be involved with cheerleading. Duane always thought this was unfair. Once given the green light at the university, he recruited female athletes from all over the country. He treated the women just like the guys. It was a level playing field where everyone received the same stipend, the same room allotments and the same workouts. Duane reflects, "Women are tougher than men. Try giving birth. I had a female athlete return to me after twenty years, and she said, 'Coach, you kept us safe.'" She was grateful for an equal opportunity and for being made to feel comfortable and confident in her athletic endeavors.
Coach Vandenbusche was steady and consistent with his students and athletes. There were three rules to follow in this order: 1. Be a good person, 2. Be a good student and 3. Be a good athlete.
He emphasized a quote from Great Expectations by Landon Jones, "The greater the expectations, the greater the disillusionment when the expectations are not met." He emphasizes that hope and heart are the true sources of encouragement, where expectations are stifling. One of his favorite quotes is from Immanuel Kant, "There are truths of the heart that are greater than truths of the mind." Vandenbusche told his athletes to follow their heart, follow their conscience and do what is right. "Two thirds through a race, your body may tell you that you need to slow down. Your heart will tell you there is more where that came from and you need to keep going." He taught with praise, encouragement and reward, which was instilled with a sound work ethic by his hard-working farming parents. He recognized progress and achievement in anyone, not just the winners. "I was never a yeller or a screamer. The loudest sound coming from me was [clapping sound] the sound of applause."
Health and Life
Dr. Vandenbusche is 83 years old, but he could probably take down someone half his age. He is in excellent physical shape with short cropped hair, military posture and a steady twinkle in his eye. He listens intently and speaks with confidence and authority. His work out with weights takes place three times a week and he enjoys mountain biking and powder skiing for outdoor exercise. "On the farm, we didn't have to work out. We were always bailing hay, moving grain or shoveling something." He chose the Gunnison Valley and stayed here for those reasons, and because it wasn't as cold and wet or as windy as Upper Michigan – and the sun shines a lot.
All the good practices don't provide any guarantees in life – remember expectations? How to handle cancer and divorce. In 2015, Dr. Vandenbusche was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's B Cell Lymphoma. He was given 65 percent odds by his doctor. Following six chemotherapy sessions and a couple of positive PET scans, he was gaining strength and skiing within a couple of months. "No one actually beats it. At the time I had 78 good years and a great life. My mental attitude was very important. If I stayed upbeat, I might be able to come out of it ok," he remembers.
At 29, Duane was briefly married for about a year. "Some people should not be married. I'm too independent. I like to come and go, and do the things I need to do." Smiling he adds, "I've had many magnificent girlfriends, and I have remained friends with all of them."
Those episodes are history, and speaking of history, Dr. Vandenbusche loves to talk about history, especially history repeating itself. He says that the coronavirus will later be seen as a "blip in the radar." Comparing recent misfortunes to the great depression and World War II, he concludes, "All we have to do is stay home, wear a mask and social distance. Those people didn't eat. They starved. They went off to Europe or the Pacific for years and some never came back. No BMW's (bitching, moaning and whining)."
Also, regarding repetitions in history, he suggests that the US should stay out of the Middle East. "We can't impose our way or change their way." He states the importance of science in advancing society, "Following the Renaissance and the acceptance of science and Greek and Roman learning, Western civilization took off."
Closer to home, Dr. Vandenbusche reflects on the most significant historical references from the Gunnison Valley, "It was probably the coming of the railroad— bringing goods to market from the farmers, ranchers and miners and the delivery of inbound supplies. The mining of coal was significant. And, the marble from nearby Marble was mined for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument."
From heart to history to home, Duane also acknowledges his spiritual foundation. "I guess I am a Pantheist [the universe and God are one in the same]. I am religious; I say my prayers every night. I was raised Catholic. A lot of things we don't know we will never know. The French philosopher Rene Decartes says, 'The universe can be explained by mathematics. All we have to do is find the numbers.'"
Looking forward, Dr. Vandenbusche reviews the big picture regarding societal progression. With 7.5 billion people in the world, we have to be concerned with running out of water, land and food. And with climate change, some areas of the world are becoming uninhabitable. Populations are relocating. "We need right now a war on behalf of science, like the New Deal. We need to implement alternative energy sources and focus on food, water and population control and to address climate change. It's the Malthusian Theory: food production goes up arithmetically, population goes up geometrically. In other words, food supply can't keep up with the population, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse ride."
It might be a little mind boggling, but at the other end of the scale, in contemplating his place in the world, Dr. Vandenbusche quotes Isaac Newton, "I see myself as a little boy walking along a beach now and then picking up a pretty stone while the vast ocean of unexplored knowledge lies in front of me." He continues, "The pretty stones were calculus, the reflecting telescope and gravity in that quote. We don't know anything."
Dr. Duane Vandenbusche has recently been named the Colorado State Historian, the first time the designation has been awarded to a resident of the Western Slope in its 95-year history. The post will blend well for Dr. Vandenbusche and his continued lectures, webinars and podcasts. He often speaks without notes, reciting names, dates and events in a remarkable way as if he was reading from an encyclopedia.
"I'm just a poor old simple country boy who grew up in modest circumstances in the second most beautiful area of the United States in a Belgian farming community. Everyone's last name started with a 'V'. Everyone was off the boat. We grew up with no expectations but a lot of hope." Quoting an adversary, Maurice Richard from the Montreal Canadians hockey team, he concurs, "Some days were good days and some days were bad days but there was never any day that I didn't try my best. And that is the creed that I live by."
This week Dr. Vandenbusche is beginning a series on the exciting history of Crested Butte and the Elk Mountains beginning on January 28 and ending on April 15. This series will be held via Zoom every Thursday evening from 7-8 pm. This program is free. To register, go to crestedbuttemuseum.com.

How to get the #GrannyHair trend a la Kylie Jenner | HELLO!
If you search the hashtag #GrannyHair on Instagram, you'll see a wealth of women embracing the trend to go grey.
There are a whole array of different shades, including gunmetal, lavender, platinum and silver-pink, and we love them all!
Kylie Jenner sparked the trend in early 2015 when she showed off an icy grey shade. But what is noticeable about the reality TV star's look is that although her hair is highly coloured, it is very thick, even towards the ends.
So if you want to achieve this look, you might want to consider getting hair extensions.
Extension specialist Vixen & Blush adds beautiful bright blonde Russian Virgin hair and then customises the toning to ensure a perfect colour match.
"Kylie's hair can be achieved by first lightening the hair and then toning it with Overtone shampoo and conditioner in Silver," says Sarah McKenna, founder of Vixen & Blush.
"Then to boost the volume we add a full head of 18" hair extensions using the micro-ring method. We use the brightest blonde virgin hair, which is ready for toning for a perfect colour match."

Q: How to get LightDM automatically started at startup after disabling it (in Ubuntu MATE)? I am working with Ubuntu MATE (16.04) on a Raspberry Pi 3. I disabled LightDM with
sudo systemctl disable lightdm

On the next boot LightDM did not show up again and instead I just got a terminal asking me for my credentials, what was exactly what I wanted. When I am log in and type
startx

the grapical sessions shows up, so far so good.
Now I want to get LightDM back after boot and so I tried reenabling it with
sudo systemctl enable lightdm

The output is:
Synchronizing state of lightdm.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable lightdm

But when I now reboot my system, LightDM does not show up again. What went wrong?
In addition to that, when I just log in in terminal and type
sudo systemctl start lightdm

LightDM is started normally, i.e. the graphical session is started and the login screen is shown. How can I get LightDM started automatically after boot again?

A: An enabled service should have a symlink to the unit file in /lib/systemd/system in /etc/systemd/system. The systemctl enable command should create that symlink, but in this case it fails for some reason. The correct symlink is:
$ ll /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 okt  7 00:20 /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service

You can fix it by recreating the symlink yourself:
sudo ln -s /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service

Tested in Ubuntu MATE 16.04.

A: Reconfiguring LightDM  worked for me (xubuntu 18.04):
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

A: You have to run sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target because if multi-user.target is set as default you can not use the GUI.

PolySearch 2.0 consists of five basic components: 1) a web-based user interface for constructing queries, displaying and synopsizing results. 2) a computational API for selecting, ranking and integrating content; 3) a collection of biomedical synonyms (custom thesauruses); 4) a general text search engine with ElasticSearch for retrieving relevant articles and records from heterogeneous databases; 5) a collection of internal text corpora and biomedical databases; An outline of PolySearch2's general design is given in Figure 1.
Figure 1: PolySearch 2.0 system overview showing the resources that PolySearch 2.0 uses and the system architecture.
For the main pattern "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word", PolySearch searches for compact patterns first. If a compact pattern cannot be found, then PolySearch searches for general patterns. If a general pattern cannot be found, then PolySearch searches for relaxed patterns.
The query word and the association word must be within 5 words (tokens) of each other.
A "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern must be established (i.e. all three types of words are present) within 10 words (tokens) of the query word.
A stop word such as "that", "which", "whereas" or "no" cannot be in a "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern.
Once a "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern is established, any thesaurus words that come after that phrase can also meet the pattern recognition criteria.
Once a "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern is established, if another association word or stop word is seen, the pattern resets.
All relevant words must be within 40 words (tokens) of each other.
A "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern must be established (i.e. all three types of words are present) within 15 words (tokens) of the query word.
All relevant words must be within 45 words (tokens) of each other.
The query word and the association word must be within 30 words (tokens) of each other.
A "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern must be established (i.e. all three types of words are present) within 40 words (tokens) of the query word.
Once a "Query Word-Association Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern is established, if another association word is seen, the pattern resets.
For the "Association Word-Query Word-Thesaurus Word" pattern (mainly for Gene/Protein searches), the association word must have a suffix of -ate, -fer, -ment, -ing, -ion, -lex, -es, or -ions. In addition, all three words must be within 10 words (tokens) of each other.
For the "Query Word-Thesaurus Word-Association Word" pattern (mainly for Gene/Protein searches), the association word must be one of "complex", "complexes", "inhibitor", "inhibitors", "interaction", or "interactions". In addition, all three words must be within 8 words (tokens) of each other.
PolySearch2 incorporates substantial algorithmic improvements, which strengthens the scoring, ranking, and selection of association candidates under the algorithm introduced by the original PolySearch. Please refer to the previous section for a detailed description of the original PolySearch algorithm. In this section we describe algorithmic improvements in PolySearch2. These include: 1) a tightness measure to further discriminate association patterns, 2) a weight boost for database records to favour database records over articles in text corpus, 3) a larger collection of system filter words, and 4) removing borderline associations.
PolySearch2 incorporates a tightness measure to further discriminate association patterns.

More Voters View Cyberattack As Act of War
Most Say It's Impossible to Totally Protect U.S. Computer Network
54% Think Increased Reliance on Internet Makes U.S. Economy More Vulnerable
Voters Like Trump's Response to North Korean Menace
Can The Government Keep Your Information Safe?
In the wake of the international WannaCry cyberattack, voters say cyberattacks from other countries do greater economic damage than military attacks do and believe more strongly than ever that such attacks should be seen as an act of war.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 62% of Likely U.S. Voters believe a major cyberattack on the United States by another country should be viewed as an act of war. That's up from 57% in late 2014 after alleged attacks by North Korea and Iran and 55% in April 2013 following a cyberattack on South Korea. Only 17% now say such an attack should not be viewed as an act of war, but a sizable 21% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Telstra delivers sports broadcasting milestone at World Relay Championships
Telecommunications and technology company, Telstra, has enabled a significant milestone in sports broadcast production with the remote production and delivery of the International World Relay Championships in Japan for Independent Television News (ITN). The event marked the first use of Telstra's Distributed Production Network (DPN), the company's high performance media IP network, for a live sports event outside Australia.
Working in conjunction with Nexion, Telstra transported 30 HD live camera and graphics feeds from the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama to Tokyo, and then onwards to the NEP Andrews Hub in Sydney, enabling the successful remote production of live coverage and competition highlights in Australia over the two days of the World Relay Championships. The signals travelled from Japan via diverse and hitless 10 gigabit-per-second circuits on the Telstra DPN to Sydney, using ultra-low-latency compression technology.
Andreas Eriksson, Director of Telstra Broadcast Services, said the collaboration between Telstra, Nexion and NEP Australia set a new industry standard for international remote production.
"The World Relay Championships is a unique event, and being able to provide athletics fans with two days of full, uninterrupted coverage produced in Sydney was very exciting," he said.
"After a successful Telstra DPN trial from the NEP Andrews Hub Sydney to Los Angeles last year, we were looking for an opportunity to use the Telstra DPN and the NEP Andrews Hub to produce an international sports event. ITN's broadcast of the World Relay Championships was the perfect two day event to debut the Telstra DPN outside of Australia at cable distances of 16,000 kilometers return trip," said Mr. Eriksson.
Bevan Gibson, CTO at ITN, said, "Our goal is to provide innovative broadcast solutions for the Rights Holding Broadcasters worldwide. The solution delivered on this occasion, with our partners Telstra and NEP, for the World Relays in Yokohama was nothing short of world-class. We knew that pushing the boundaries of what could be done would be a challenge, but working together, this solution demonstrated the art-of-the-possible."
Steve Kilsby, Director of Operations NEP, added: "Yokohama World Relays was a truly satisfying project to work on for the team in the Andrews' Hubs and on the ground in Japan. From its success, NEP has shown that with our technology and approach, distance is no obstacle to centralized production. The collaboration between NEP divisions in Australia, UK and Japan, along with the fantastic work from Telstra and Nexion, demonstrates we can seamlessly deliver innovative solutions and pioneering events. Our clients around the world can be confident we are ready for our next challenge, regardless of geography or complexity."
Ichiro Kawanishi, General Manager Sales and Marketing at Nexion, said: "We were very pleased to be able to provide the 10G circuits to connect Yokohama to the world. The World Relay Championships was at the same time as the start of the Japanese new era, so an unforgettable event for us. With many global sporting events taking place in Japan over the next few years, we are looking forward to offering our network and other services to the international companies coming to Japan to broadcast these events."
The Telstra DPN is an end-to-end IP network which has been custom built for the media industry. It enables professional media customers to produce live broadcasts at a distance from the actual event by sending multiple raw camera feeds, audio and equipment control signals over the network back to centralised production hubs. Such true remote production removes the need for onsite production facilities and provides secure links between sports venues and production hubs on a bespoke network. Remote production over long distances requires a network that has the special characteristics of high bandwidth, low latency, low jitter and low wander, which the Telstra DPN delivers in Australia and now internationally.
Eriksson added, "The successful remote production of the ITN broadcast at the NEP Andrews Hub in Sydney opens a world of future international possibilities. It demonstrates that even across huge distances there is now a viable alternative to production facilities onsite at a venue. We're excited to work with broadcasters and sporting bodies on future events utilizing the Telstra DPN."

A long time ago I got (slightly) into sewing—around the time I dropped out of college, I guess. Who could blame me? All those fun colors and patterns of cloth; the ability to make things that fit YOU rather than some anorexic model (and in any material you want); the ability to make fun things like cloaks. Unfortunately, I was never very good at it and ended up more or less abandoning it.
Now that we've fallen in with some SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) folk and my husband is picking up fighting (he qualified as a fighter just a couple of weeks ago), we're giving the sewing thing a shot again. We got a good sewing machine at the beginning of the year. To be honest, the first two things we made really weren't that good, but we were working with a sub-optimal downloaded pattern and a (very!) short deadline, not to mention we're beginners. So we haven't given up.
It was my husband's birthday not all that long ago, so I spent some time hunting down historical clothing patterns for him. I found some great stuff at Lost Coast Historical Patterns. A couple items were backordered, but the lady who runs the place has been great about shipping one out as soon as it came in, and keeping me apprised of progress on the other (and asking to make sure I wanted to keep it on order), so I highly recommend these folks.
This weekend we're hoping to go fabric shopping for a few things. I also picked up two basic sewing books—an idiot's guide (naturally!) and one other. I'll let you know how they work out.
And finally, we've posted two new book reviews, of two absolutely fantastic books. One is Cherie Feather's sizzling The Art of Desire. The other is Virginia Kantra's surprising and stunning Sea Witch.


Rick Ross was breathing hard and coughing up blood during his medical emergency at his home in Davie, Fla., last week. Police released the frantic 911 call that Ross' friend made after the Miami rapper suffered what appears to be a seizure.
The audio (courtesy of TMZ) features a male caller talking to the 911 operator about Ross' condition. Apparently, another friend discovered Ross on the floor drifting in and out of consciousness.
"We're trying to wake him up," the caller tells the 911 operator. "He's breathing hard. His name's William Roberts (Rick Ross's real name) and I need an ambulance ASAP."
"He was throwing up. I know he's had seizures before. He took his medicine earlier but he's not breathing right," he continued.
During the four-minute call, the caller describes Ross' medical emergency and then tries to figure out Ross' address. The male caller also told the operator that Ross vomited "light blood" and was in a cold sweat, breathing hard and "shaking really bad." He manages to get Ross sitting up but the rapper was still out of it. "You all right, help's on the way," the caller tells Ross.
Ross was released from the hospital early Monday (March 5) after spending last weekend in the ICU for an unknown heart condition. The exact reason for his hospitalization has not been officially explained. However, at one point, Ross was put on ECMO, which assists in heart and lung functions.
On Thursday (March 8), the 42-year-old rhyme-slinger went on Instagram and posted a photo of himself from behind holding a bottle of Luc Belaire rosé, a brand he promotes heavily in his music. "Ain't nothing like home. I love y'all," he wrote in the caption.
