On the morning of the 15th the First Brigade, Second Division, Col. (now Brig. Gen.) E. W. Rice commanding, was thrown across the Oostenaula at Lays Ferry. The pontoon bridge was laid, and Second Brigade, Second Division, crossed. The troops had scarcely got into position when the First Brigade was attacked by a portion of Walker's division, Hardee's corps, in largely superior force, which impetuously charged down upon the brigade. Colonel Rice, by an admirable maneuver, caught the enemy in flank, while the batteries, in position on the north side of the river, opened a direct and deadly fire upon the enemy's front, and he was soon routed and driven from the field, leaving his dead and a portion of his wounded in our hands. The Third Brigade soon came up, and was thrown across the river, and the entire division intrenched, thus placing it on the flank and rear of the enemy's army and almost directly upon his communications, which, no doubt, was one great cause leading to the evacuation of Resaca and the retreat of Johnston's army south. The loss of the Second Division in this engagement did not exceed 200 in killed, wounded, and missing, while that of the enemy was much greater, as their own reports acknowledge in killed alone more than that number. Col. E. W. Rice, who had charge of the crossing and commanded the troops in the engagement, deserves great credit for the gallant and efficient manner in which he performed his duty. His division commander (Brig. Gen. T. W. Sweeny) was not on the ground, and the entire direction and control of the movement fell upon him.
The following morning, May 16, I received orders to move the Fourth Division to Lay's Ferry, cross the Oostenanla, and push the entire command forward, as far as practicable, on the road to Adairsville Station. The Second Division, General Sweeny, had received orders at daylight, direct from Major-General Sherman, to move out at once and secure the Rome and Calhoun cross-roads. I arrived at the ferry about 9 a.m. with the advance of the Fourth Division, and was informed by General Sweeny that the Third Brigade only, Col. M. M. Bane commanding, had been pushed forward. Knowing that the enemy would in all probability contest our advance on this flank, and endeavor especially to hold those roads, I ordered the other two brigades of the Second Division to move out immediately to Colonel Bane's support; and instructing General Veatch to cross as rapidly as possible and follow the Second Division, I went immediately to the front, and found Colonel Bane in line of battle, skirmishing heavily along his entire front and on both flanks, and the enemy developed in heavy force in rifle-pits on his left. General Sweeny, commanding the division, not being present, I immediately ordered Col. P. E. Burke, commanding Second Brigade, into position on Colonel Bane's right, directing him to deploy the Sixty-sixth Illinois Infantry as skirmishers. I placed the First Brigade, Colonel Rice commanding, in position on the left and rear of Colonel Bane, on a line of commanding hills that we could occupy and hold in case of an attack by a superior force of the enemy, until the balance of the army arrived. Colonel Burke had pressed his skirmishers forward on the right until they had seized the Rome and Calhoun cross-roads, which I ordered him to hold, if possible, until the Fourth Division could be brought up. General Veatch had just arrived upon the ground, and was being shown the position to be taken by his division on the right of the Second Division, when the enemy in heavy force charged down upon the right of the Sixty- sixth Illinois Infantry, which was deployed as skirmishers, striking it in flank. This regiment, which is in part armed with the Henry rifle (seventeen-shooters), by a stubborn resistance, and a steady, cool fire, checked the enemy's advance, and gave me time to throw forward to its support, and directly to the enemy's front, the balance the of Second Brigade and part of the Third Brigade. The Sixty-sixth Illinois then fell back gradually to its supports. The enemy advancing rapidly in line of battle received the fire, first of the Eighty-first Ohio Infantry, then of the Twelfth Illinois Infantry and Thirty-ninth Iowa Infantry, which checked and routed him. At the same time the enemy advanced on Colonel Burke. They moved in force around on the east side of Oostenanla Creek, on my extreme left and rear, to a high range of hills commanding the valley and road up which my command was advancing, when they opened a battery, which for a few moments caused some confusion in rear of my line. The Second Iowa Infantry, of Colonel Rice's brigade, was immediately ordered to cross the creek and charge the battery. It moved promptly forward for that purpose, and received a heavy fire, but found the creek impassable. The enemy, however, discovering the movement, withdrew. A new line was immediately formed on an extension of the First Brigade, Second Division, on the line of hills before alluded to; the Fourth Division forming on the right of Colonel Rice, the Second and Third Brigades, Second Division, were drawn back and formed as a rear line and reserve. Major-General McPherson arrived on the ground just before the attack of the enemy and after their defeat ordered the troops to bivouac in the new position. Skirmishers were pushed forward and crossed the ground fought over. At dark the Fifteenth Army Corps arrived and formed on my right. During the night my transportation crossed the river and came up. My loss during the day was about 70 killed and wounded; that of the enemy unknown. From prisoners captured I ascertained that three divisions of Hardees corps were intrenched at the cross-roads, covering Calhoun and the railroad. I cannot speak in terms too highly of the conduct of Col. M. M. Bane. He found the enemy in his front in force largely superior to his own, and forming and handling his brigade with consummate skill fought it successfully. Nor can I speak too highly of the conduct of the gallant and lamented Col. P. E. Burke, commanding Second Brigade, who fell at the head of his brigade while engaged in checking the enemy's charge, and from his wounds there received died a few days after at Resaca. His loss fell heavily upon the command. An officer of acknowledged ability, he had already won the esteem and secured the confidence of all in his superior judgment on the march and in battle. In this engagement his prompt action and quick and skillful management of his three regiments, with their steady unflinching fire, converted a promised serious disaster to the command into one to the enemy.
At 7 p. m. of May 17 the command moved out toward Kingston, via McGuires and Adairsville and Woodland roads, and after two nights and one day and a half's march reached Kingston, where transportation was reduced and twenty days short rations for men and animals collected.

Woodpecker: A Powerful Video-Based Language Teaching App
Read this blog post in 簡體中文, 繁體中文, Deutsch, Français, 日本語, Português, Español, Tiếng Việt or Pусски.
Immersion has long been heralded as the magic bullet for learning a foreign language. Of course, the true immersion experience isn't a possibility for many would-be language learners. Spending long months studying in a faraway land may be a nice idea, but this is little more than a pipe dream for most.
What if an alternative learning tool could harness the power of the internet to bring immersion-based learning to students on the path to fluency? We're aiming to do exactly that with Woodpecker. This app uses everyday video content from hundreds of different sources to take advanced students to the next level. With just a tap, users translate any word in the subtitle stream and get an instant definition in their native language.
With support for students learning both English and Mandarin, Woodpecker helps students understand real-world content. Unlike other language learning tools that only feature snippets of a spoken language, Woodpecker uses entertaining and informative video clips to keep students interested. Plus, the app allows the user to tap any word in the subtitle stream and get an instant definition in their native language.
Best of all, this free resource includes a number of powerful extras that make retaining new information a breeze. Whether used as a standalone learning tool or part of a dynamic language learning curriculum, Woodpecker offers a viable solution for those ready to embark on a new way to learn a language online.
Learn how Woodpecker works below and discover how this powerful app can be used to make language learning easier than ever before.
Why Use Woodpecker?
First things first: why does the world need another language learning app?
Sure, there are plenty of great apps out there for today's language student. Need to drill conjugation forms or work on memorising vocabulary words? There's an app for that!
What hasn't existed is a simple way for students to immerse themselves in a foreign language without getting totally overwhelmed. Turning on a foreign movie theoretically offers something resembling immersion, but for a new student, the gibberish spewed from a foreign speaker is too much to decipher.
Woodpecker bridges the gap by making full-length videos available for anyone to enjoy. The app also offers additional tools to help the user understand the video content. Forget watching a video and only picking up on every other word. Woodpecker gives everyday learners the chance to watch videos and quickly get pointers on concepts outside their grasp.
A few of this app's revolutionary features include:
Native support for both Android and iOS
Content from over 400 different video creators
Dedicated teaching section for language courses
Ability to use multiple subtitle streams
Bilingual dictionary definitions with just a tap
Discover the Science Behind Woodpecker
Beyond the sheer fun of watching videos to learn a language, multiple academic studies suggest that language students benefit from this activity.
Nearly every learner struggles with the ability to discern the differences between various words in a spoken sentence. It's one thing to know a string of vocabulary words, but it's another to decipher them when part of a larger whole. Linguistic experts often emphasize the importance of learning phonological decoding or parsing skills for this reason; it's essential for students to learn to recognise the meaning of the sounds they hear, in order to effectively communicate.
Naturally, developing this skillset is no small feat. Micro-listening exercises, however, have been shown to be immensely beneficial. A micro-listening exercise is an activity in which the student has the opportunity to listen to small bursts of sound over and over again until comprehension is reached. The go-back-one-sentence button and the go-back-five-seconds button on the Woodpecker player, combined with the built-in bilingual dictionaries, enable the user to do ensure not a single word is missed.
Within the Woodpecker player, users have access to both built-in bilingual dictionaries and simple controls for jumping back a single sentence or five seconds. These tools bring the micro-listening approach to a wide audience.
How the App Works
Most language learning apps feature nothing more than short audio clips. That's an "okay" way for students to get started with a foreign language, but it's not ideal.
Woodpecker takes an entirely different approach. We don't rely on choppy audio recordings or stilted dialogue to get students learning. Instead, app users choose from over 200,000 videos covering a diverse assortment of different topics.
Easily define words within the subtitles. Simply tap any unknown word to get the pop-up definition.
From entertainment and movies to news, education, and travel, Woodpecker users are truly spoilt for choice. Plus, all of these videos feature native speakers.
The premise is quite simple: WoodPecker Watch users choose interesting videos to watch. If the video features an unfamiliar word, tapping it within the subtitle stream provides an instantaneous definition. All defined words also appear in the "Word History" pane for future reference.
Popular content in the Woodpecker app includes videos from The Ellen Show and the various BuzzFeed channels. You might also be tempted to leave the beaten path or if you're helping a young child learn, want to explore the dedicated children's content. With over 400 unique channels to choose from, you're bound to find video content you'll enjoy.
Explore the Woodpecker App

Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Vietnamese speakers can use the app to learn English, while English speakers can learn Mandarin.

And just like in the app itself, with a few taps, readers define any word for quick reference.
Go a Step Further with Language Lessons
Check out all of the great learning channels available within Woodpecker.
What is even better than immersion video learning? Hands-on instruction from language experts, of course!
In addition to entertainment, Woodpecker users have a full catalog of language courses at their disposal. From grammar lessons to dialogue explanations, these courses provide insight to better understand the ins and outs of a foreign language. The app currently features over 5,000 structured language lessons.
Teaching content within WoodPecker Watch comes from instructors around the globe. This makes it easy for students to master different accents and explore the nuances in spoken language across the planet. For an extra challenge, students might consider progressing through a particular instructors materials, video by video. In some ways, this replicates a traditional classroom experience, giving the user a chance to get comfortable with the unique teaching style of the tutor.
How to Get the Most Out of Woodpecker

Take the tour when you first download the app to learn how these work. Easily rewind the last word spoken or jump five seconds backward for a fuller overview. Hitting the buttons multiple times even allows you to jump in rapid succession. If you need to adjust your subtitle settings, these controls are in the top right corner.

Source: Tanzanian president on his way to China for Covid treatment?
Petter Bolme 10 mars, 2021
This is the plane that the president could hav boarded.
Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli has not been seen for two weeks and according to unconfirmed information, he is said to have fallen ill with Covid-19 and flown out of the country for treatment. Global Bar Magazine investigated the rumors and followed up on a possible medical evacuation to China.
Update: Tanzanian authorities has (210317) confirmed that Magufuli has passed away.
This is an updated version: according to non-confirmed media reports Magufuli never left Tanzania and is in a hospital in Tanzania. This is a translation from the original text which is in Swedish
Normally we do not follow up up on rumors but when authorities, that sit on the facts refuse to comment on simple facts such as the missing of the head of state, rumors will continue to be spread. And often rumors are used by authoritarian regimes. Professor Nic Cheeseman wrote this in a tweet a day after our original publication:
Strong rumour out of #Tanzania that the story of Magufuli in Kenya was concocted by TISS (Tanz intelligence) to defect attention from fact he is in a coma in Dar. That would be some trick. Meanwhile Pres Flag is apparently flying at the VP's residence not State House #Magufuli pic.twitter.com/m172pAghKO
— Prof Nic Cheeseman (@Fromagehomme) March 11, 2021
John Pombe Magufuli has run a unique policy when combatting Covid-19. Tanzania has not registered a single case of Covid-19 since May 7, 2020 and Magufuli declared that the country would no longer conduct any testing of the Covid-19 virus. He also declared that Tanzania was free from Covid-19 and ordered airports, schools and markets to open. Many in Tanzania have expressed great fear of mentioning Covid-19, even fearing to write the words "Covid" or "Corona" in text messages.
For a while it looked like this was a successful strategy. The rate of infections seemed to have diminished and the death cases reported earlier seemed to have gone down to normal. Hospital beds were available. Even though Tanzania held massive election campaigns where hundreds of thousands of people all over the country came to see their respective candidates.
However, that would change. Since a couple of months ago, Tanzanians noticed people getting ill from respiratory diseases, hospitals were filling up and many suspected it was a second wave of Covid-19. The US embassy issued a health warning for Tanzania on February 10 because the spread of the infection was so serious.
A source who, who for security reasons wish to remain anonymous, tells Global Bar Magazine that health care workers in Tanzania discovered a sharp rise in cases of what looked like Covid-19 in February. The intensive care units were overcrowded, hospitals ran out oxygen and funerals increased threefold.
Then several prominent people in Tanzania died of what is suspected to have been covid-19. In mid-February, Zanzibar's Vice President Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad died. The following week, it was announced that the former Governor of the Central Bank, Benno Ndulu, had died of complications of what people suspect was Covid-19 and subsequently his Deputy Governor. Then ambassadors, opposition politicians, Government officials died, one after another.
Then two weeks ago, the country's authorities seem to have changed the policy. The country's health minister now instructed the population to follow the WHO's recommendations on social distance, use face masks and stay home for symptoms. But at the same time, the Minister of Health continues to recommend herbs and steam baths…
It has been two weeks since President John Pombe Magufuli appeared in public. He has missed two Sunday church sermons, something he regularly attends. There is no official information on whether the president is ill and should have left the country. Reuters published an article in which no one from the president's staff answered questions about whether Magufuli was ill or not.
Where's Magufuli? Tanzanian leader's absence fuels health concern https://t.co/feiYnuKvOe pic.twitter.com/RTrj3tRiFD
— Reuters (@Reuters) March 10, 2021
Tanzania's ambassador to Sweden, Wilibrod Slaa, denies the information to Global Bar Magazine and claims that the information he has been given is that the president is well and fulfilling his duties as usual.
Ambassador Wilford Slaa, who among other things has been on a panel in Global Bar, claims that the rumors started in Sweden with an article in Sauti Kubwa, a newspaper published by a Tanzanian journalist, Ansbert Ngurumo, who is a refugee in Sweden. Today, Wednesday afternoon, the BBC and Reuters further published the news that Magufuli may be ill.
Opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who ran in last October's election against John Pombe Magufuli, wrote that the people have a right to know if the president is undergoing treatment. On twitter, he writes that "they plan to sneak him to India to avoid shame if the worst should happen".
The latest update from Nairobi: "They're planning to sneak him out to India to avoid social media embarrassment from Kenyans. They feel that it'll be more embarrassing if the worst happened in Kenya." The most powerful man in Tanzania is now being sneaked about like an outlaw!
— Tundu Antiphas Lissu (@TunduALissu) March 10, 2021
According to Tundu Lissu, Magufuli was on his way to India for treatment. India is also mentions by others as a possible destination for the president's trip.
Global Bar Magazine followed up on the information that the President may have been relocated to care outside Africa. A plane from China Southern Airlines left Nairobi at 14:24 local time on March 10. It was at that time that some sources stated on twitter that Magufuli would have left Nairobi for India. The plane has no official departure time and arrived in Nairobi from Changsha in China early in the morning of March 10. This plane has no destination and usually flies between different cities in China. The plane is now on its way to China. With or without the president.
But now as new unconfirmed information comes in it seems that Magufuli may have been in Tanzania all the time. But where is he? And how is his health?

Virginia Rep Cotton Patch Gospel

Cotton Patch Gospel
Virginia Rep: (Info) (Web)
Virginia Rep Center – Hanover Tavern, Hanover, VA
Through April 28th
$25-$42/$22 Rush/$12 Student
Reviewed February 10th, 2013
Cotton Patch Gospel is another entry in the Richmond Acts of Faith Festival. It is presented by Virginia Repertory Company at Hanover Tavern's Barksdale Theater. Adapted from books by Clarence Jordan, this musical by Tom Key and Russell Treyz retells the Gospels of Matthew and John set in the mid-20th-century American South. The music and lyrics were written by Harry Chapin (who was the first celebrity I ever interviewed, but I'll save that story for another time.) These were the final songs he wrote just before he died in a car accident in 1981.
Jordan was a farmer and New Testament Greek scholar. In 1942, he founded Koinonia Farm, an influential religious community in southwest Georgia that still exists today. Jordan was very involved in the civil rights movement and social justice. In an effort to translate both the words and context of the scripture, he wrote several popular "Cotton Patch" adaptations of the New Testament, resetting the lives and preaching of Jesus and the Apostle Paul in contemporary rural Georgia. Virginia Rep is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to celebrate the writings of Clarence Jordan and his role in the founding of that organization.
The story of the theater itself is a fitting one for this play as well. In 1953, six young actors traveling south from NYC intent on finding a barn to put on shows (à la Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney) found the Hanover Tavern. Originally called the Barksdale Theater, it is now a part of Virginia Rep. The rustic "barn-like" stage were a perfect setting for this show. Set designer Terrie Powers uses just a variety of stringed instruments (acoustic guitars, fiddles, banjos and a giant bass guitar) and some milk crates to appropriately set the scene.
The play itself is kind of a cross between a bluegrass version of Godspell, and an episode of "The Smothers Brothers" or "Hee Haw." Much of the show is laid back and informal, with cast members opening each act by strumming their instruments and joking with the audience.
Christopher Stewart plays the lead role as "Matthew," but also portrays numerous other roles including the Narrator, John the "Baptizer" and Jesus. Musical Director Drew Perkins, Lucas Hall, Brian Sulsar, Eric Williams, and Corey Wells round out the cast and make up the live bluegrass band that accompanies all the songs on stage.
Jesus, in Cotton Patch Gospel, is born in Gainesville, GA to High School football player Joe Davidson, and his girlfriend Mary. They are visited by wise men, after she gives birth in a trailer, behind the motel, and receive gifts like an American Express GOLD Card. In the end, they go to Atlanta, where Jesus is lynched by the KKK.
Stewart is kind of a southern Matthew Broderick in displaying charm and likeability as Jesus. Stewart's vocals are gentle, pure and "Christ-like." He maintains a great connection with the audience through his eye contact and movements.
My only complaint is one I am assuming comes from the writers and not Director Chase Kniffen; the fact that Stewart winds up playing so many pivotal characters. Things get a bit muddled in scenes where Stewart must jump back and forth between being Jesus and John or Jesus and Matthew. With five other actors on stage only playing relatively minor parts, it would have seemed more sensible to have the lead actor play only Jesus and the narrator. Putting these demands on one actor might have appeared less burdensome if Stewart displayed more vocal and physical variety in each character. John the Baptizer, for example, was distinguishable as a bigger than life, fire and brimstone Southern Baptist preacher, but many of the other characters tended to meld into any resident of Mayberry RFD. Again, since I have never seen this show before, I am assuming it was written this way.
The Bluegrass band gives a great performance and is adept vocally and instrumentally. At times one voice does out power the others and at other times, things can get off key (like in the song "Blind Date") but it is hard these days doing live music without voice tracking or autotune (right Beyonce?) They are at all times energetic and entertaining.
One poignant moment (again I don't know if it is scripted this way or was the director's choice) came when Corey Wells sang at the lynching/crucifixion after being silent throughout the rest of the show. His soft, innocent tones perfectly enhanced the moment.
Kniffen uses the small space well, especially with exits and entrances throughout the theater. The story is novel, and Chapin's music is catchy. Cotton Patch Gospel is a hand-clapping, foot-tapping good ol' time.

I'm a lucky girl..... my husband loves to cook AND is very good at it. I used to enjoy cooking but actually don't have much patience to follow recipes anymore. I just tend to whip things up quite quickly, with whatever I can find it usually works but he is most definitely the cook in the house. The last two evenings we have enjoyed the above two very simple recipes. We got the sea bream for just £2 each which I thought was a bit of a bargain. It is a delicious fish.
The little one has enjoyed these meals with us, he is mostly a very good eater and eats whatever we do. One thing he doesn't seem to like is pasta?!?!?!?
This may be just a big mess because I have spent the last hour trying to work this out. I remember now why I didn't start this blog six months ago. I will not let this beat me! I am not a computer whizz, oh no siree, not at all. However my boyfriend who is beside me is a fantastic website designer. But I can do this on my own. Only because he does not have time to help me. So, yes I wanted to start this 6 months ago when I discovered the whole blogging community. I am now an avid reader of about 20 posts by lots of lovely crafty ladies around the world and every day I am amazed and inspired by the talent that is out there. I am an artist myself, I paint, every day from my studio at home and today I have relaunched my website!!! More of that to come. I studied multi media textiles 9 years ago and still do a bit but its getting messy with paint that I do for a living. Textiles is still my true love but I am afraid that if I veer that way I will not be able to make a living from it, instead I keep it as a sideline and a retreat. But each day I am inspired more to get back to my sewing machine and draw with that needle again. Anyway I hope to give a little back and give you some little tales from the life of an artist. Anyway I think that is enough for today as it will probably take me an age to get it up and running. But I need to say thank you to Abigail/Camilla/Amy and Karin who encouraged me to just do it. More soon when I figure this thing out. i think i just managed to add a photo, who knows???!!! I did, I am now editing this and hours later I am beginning to figure it out. Thanks Abigail again!!!!
I have just found your lovely blog and think it is wonderful. Congratulations on your 200th post, quite an achievement!
CONGRATULATIONS. Oh and the header... tooooooo darn cute!
SOOO much has changed in the last 6 years, it's amazing to think back to when it was so new and foreign to be blogging!
This really made me smile...oh and my tummy rumble!!
Like you I started blogging in 2006. No Facebook...smartphones...CBeebies in our lives! Very Old School. And it was like a world of delight when I stumbled across such a community. No whizz myself but I think the just dive in and go for it approach has helped me learn a bit more about computers. I happened to drop HTML in to a conversation with my husband one day and scored a few brownie points!

Jerry Tubbs works for a heating/cooling company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Along with his wife and a group of friends who love to ride Harley's, he belongs to the local Eagles club.
Since weeks are long and full of work, Jerry and his wife usually go out to eat on Fridays and Saturdays. They prefer barbeque at a local restaurant that has live rock and blues acts sometimes. Afterward they love to drink and hang with friends at the eagles, or they will go with friends to different microbreweries around town where they can enjoy custom craft beer.
On long drives the couple enjoy CDs they bought from the local artists, and often share the music with friends. Jerry's favorite artist is Sansietch because his songs are about New Mexico, and the road, and drinkin' microbrews. The influence of classic rock in Sansietch's blues music give him a sense that the artist grew up listening to much of the same music as him.
Fans of Local Brews and Blues Music!!!

Students, teachers and local residents hold a prayer circle in the gymnasium of Beauregard High School for those in their community that lost their lives in a Sunday night tornado on Monday, March 4, 2019, in Beauregard, Ala. (Curtis Compton//Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP)
MOBILE, Ala. (NEXSTAR) — In the wake of the deadly tornadoes earlier this week in eastern Alabama, stations across the state are teaming up right now to raise money to help those impacted and displaced by Sunday's storms.
23 people were killed in the nation's deadliest tornado in nearly six years. The youngest victim was 6, the oldest 89. Ninety people were injured in the Beauregard area, authorities said. Most have been released from the hospital.
Nexstar Media Group's Alabama stations including WKRG in Mobile, CBS 42 in Birmingham, WZDX in Huntsville, WDHN in Dothan, and WRBL serving eastern Alabama are streaming a fundraising telethon from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. CT Wednesday that will be featured on this website. You'll be asked to make a donation to the American Red Cross online or by phone to benefit victims of this weekend's disaster.
News 5 is doing its part by teaming up with the American Red Cross for a disaster relief telethon. You can call 251-662-3047 to donate through our telethon.
The nationwide, online initiative will be part of a day-long effort organized by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. The Wednesday afternoon streaming telethon will emanate from the studios of WKRG-TV. The Mobile-based station is hosting a local telethon throughout the day Wednesday.
All funds raised during the event will go towards disaster relief and recovery efforts across the south.

House set to approve phased-in $15 fed minimum wage
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time in a decade, the House is set to approve an increase in the federal minimum wage — to $15 an hour, including for tipped workers.
Passage was expected Wednesday after centrists won concessions for a slower phase-in, over six years instead of five. They also won assurances the pay hike could be halted midway if a study shows job losses or other adverse effects.
Pompeo takes aim at China at religious freedom conference
by MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press / Jul 18, 2019
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (pahm-PAY'-oh) is accusing China of intimidating countries into staying away from an international religious freedom conference that he's hosting.
Pompeo also says Beijing is responsible for what he's calling "stain of the century" of human rights abuses — with mass detentions of Muslims and other minorities in western China.
Will a summer job burn your financial aid for college?
by RYAN LANE of NerdWallet, Associated Press / Jul 18, 2019
Roughly one-third of teenagers have summer jobs, according to the Pew Research Center. Some of these jobs may make you very familiar with the letters "SPF." But every working student should know a different abbreviation to avoid getting burned: EFC.
While you may be working to help pay for college, the money you earn could affect the financial aid you receive. Here's how.

SGA Profiles: Senators Wolfarth, Grafton and O'Rourke
September 14, 2015 September 15, 2015 Towerlight News
Profiles compiled by: Sam Shelton, News Editor
For the next few weeks, The Towerlight is working on interviewing and getting to know all the students in the Student Government Association senate.
Caitlin Wolfarth, Sophomore:
Editor's note: Caitlin has contributed to The Towerlight before.
Major: Mass communication
Initiatives: "Maybe instead of getting emails from the mail office, we could get text messages. Because sometimes I'll check my email too late, and then it'll be past 4 p.m. and I'll miss my package…More broad, I just want student groups to feel connected to the SGA, and to know that we are a resource to them."
Favorite thing about TU: "I really like the diversity on campus. There's so many different types of people, and there's so many clubs you can join. I know every school is like 'there's something for everyone,' but there is something for everyone here. And I really like the teachers here…At least the ones I've had, they're really nice."
Favorite place: "I really like Glen Woods and The Beach. Yeah, I like sitting under the tree."
Favorite snack: "Au Bon Pain is my favorite place to go all the time. I really like all of their soup. Like, all of it. But I really, really like the pasta at Ptux too."
Helen Grafton, Sophomore:
Editor's note: Helen has contributed to The Towerlight before.
Major: Political science and mass communication, with a track in PR.
Initiatives: "I see a lot of people lose their aid because they don't know that they have paperwork that they need to submit, or like anything or the to-do list, so I'm gonna find a way to like ease that communication. Like maybe a text message or a text alert when you have something on your to-do list, so people know and don't lose their financial aid."
Favorite thing about TU: "Once you get here, it's so amazing and it's so easy to get involved with things. Everyone at Towson is so welcoming. You can walk around campus and see someone you know, even though the campus is giant."
Favorite place: "Probably West Village, in that little area before you get to all the food on the first floor, just because it's really quiet there. I like the glass windows and the trees, and there's not usually a lot of people there so it's not too loud. I really like it there."
Favorite snack: "Probably quesadillas from The Den. That's my favorite."
Kyle O'Rourke, Junior:
Major: Business administration, marketing
Initiatives: "What I'm trying to work toward is a [greek-wide] scholarship that needs a $25,000 endowment at first and each greek chapter will donate a certain dollar amount and hopefully by the time it's introduced, it'll be able to give almost a $1,500 scholarship to students who need financial aid."
Favorite thing about TU: "It's honestly the people I've met. I've met a lot of great role models and leaders. In high school, I wasn't the most outgoing and 'step into a role' kind of person, but I always wanted to be. I definitely think people here, other students and faculty, have helped me put that into action."
Favorite place: "I love Susq. Susq is fantastic. The deli – I really like the New York deli. That's kind of like my spot because I'm from Long Island."
Favorite snack: "New York Italian with potato salad and a pickle. 100 percent."

Geraldo confronted about Foxnews Coverage in Baltimore!
I think this gentleman actually gave out a good message to Fox news. Geraldo seems uncomfortable and keeps smiling and trying to get away. Maybe we all should slow down and listen to what this young man has to say. Agree?
We should all try to calm the situation down. It seems America is on the edge of coming apart at the seams…Opinions welcome.
He asked further where Fox was during the 300 Man March, noting that Fox only turned out to catch a glimpse of anecdotes of destruction.

Meet Some More Tales of Graces Characters
By Laura July 21, 2009
Lately, every Tales fan has been looking at the new game for the series, Tales of Graces, for Wii, set for release in winter of 2009. Famitsu released a few more details relating to new characters and hints about the re-vamped battle system.
New to the battle system is an option called "Style Shift," where, with the press of a button, players can change a character's equipment, spells, and battle style depending on the situation. For example, Cheria can fight physically with daggers, or she can stay back and focus on healing and support spells. Hubert, on the other hand, can either fight using two blades, or he can swap those blades for two guns.
Although this doesn't sound like a newcomers, old Tales fans should remember that previous battle systems allowed for blocking and backstepping when an enemy attacked. In this game, a new feature is added –- sidestepping. Not only does this allow you to dodge, you can attack the enemy's unprotected flank!
The first new character introduced is Cheria Barnes, voiced by Shiho Kawaragi. She is the granddaughter of the butler to the Lhant family, and a childhood friend to Asbel Lhant, the protagonist. She has a reliable personality, although she can't really stop acting shy around Asbel due to certain *cough* feelings. She wants to do her best to help out the Lhants because she's lived with them all her life.
Her Mystic Arte (called this because Tales translations haven't been consistent, so I'm taking Tales of the Abyss' translations for now) is called Alterism Line, in which she throws all the daggers she has hidden up her sleeves. The attack seems to affect a wide area.
Some of her other moves are Thunderbolt and Nurse, as can be expected from a mage.
The second is Hubert Ozwell, voiced by Takahiro Mizushima. He's actually Asbel's younger brother by one year. When he was little, he used to be nice, quiet kid, but as he grew up he started to discipline himself into being stronger. Now, he is a Major in the Strata Army. He always seems to be depressed when he's around his brother for some reason.
His Mystic Arte is Instant Waltz, in which the two swords split and become two guns and all enemies are hit. One of his normal skills is Raigashourai, probably translated as Thunder Fang Rush, performed with his swords, and another is Rail Arrow, a skill utilizing his guns.
