Medical Device Dangers
Surgical mesh: Defenders shine a light on yet another dangerous medical device
Women, doctors, researchers and medical device companies speak at an FDA hearing about vaginal mesh devices after thousands report problems.
Author: Terri Gruca

Updated: 12:43 PM CDT May 24, 2019
AUSTIN, Texas — Nearly one in every five women suffer from prolapse, a condition where pelvic muscles no longer support pelvic organs.
For years, surgeons made repairs using tissue from women's bodies. But, in recent years, a surgical mesh has been used to treat prolapse.
Tuesday, following thousands of complaints and years of warnings from the FDA itself, a public hearing shed light on what is growing evidence of medical device dangers.
"This is affecting lives and it's major, and no one is really listening to us," said Barbara Melling, a patient who is suffering from complications of surgical mesh.
Women from across the country gathered in Maryland to share their stories about how mesh products changed their lives.
"If there are 100,000 women injured by mesh for any reason, it should not be on the market. If tomatoes are killing people, they take them off the market," said Lana Keeton, who had a sling implanted in her.
Jodie Callahan is a mother who had surgery in 2010 at the age of 45.
"I am one of over 100,000 women who have been severely and permanently harmed by the devastating complications from the interior transvaginal mesh," she said. "This changed my life and made me limit a lot of activities with my family. I went to nine different specialists all trying to help me deal with this."

RELATED: FDA does not test most devices implanted in humans, and one woman is paying for it
Three years later, after years of pain, a surgeon removed the mesh.
"During the procedure, I experienced life-threatening complications due to the extensive lengths to remove the mesh," she said. "The doctor reported the mesh had eroded into my bladder, attached to my bowels, my nerves and my muscles and the incontinence sling had twisted my urethra, so voiding [emptying her bladder] was nearly impossible. They also removed a large gelatinous cyst that was in my cervix that was engulfed in mesh."
Last month, she learned she has to undergo another surgery. She said her doctor found more plastic mesh inside her body.
"I am scared, frustrated and devastated that I will have to do this again," she cried.
"On behalf of Boston Scientific and myself as a physician, I want to express my deepest sympathy and my sincere empathy for those women who have been harmed by surgical mesh therapies," said Dr. Ronald Morton Jr., a medical doctor with the urology division at Boston Scientific.
Medical device makers apologized to the women on Tuesday.
"Boston scientific is purposeful and committed to provide medical devices that are safe and effective and supported by clinical evidence supported by physician training and the best possible outcomes," he said, citing studies that show the mesh devices continue to improve.
The Defenders have learned the FDA warned about serious complications involving mesh implants in 2008. In 2011, the FDA mandated companies produce studies to show the safety of the devices.
"In 2011, Public Citizen and I petitioned the FDA to ban and label all mesh products for vaginal repair of POP [pelvic organ prolapse] because these devices offer no clinically proven benefits in comparison with non-mesh repair of POP and have high rates of serious complications," said Dr. Michael Carome, M.D., of Public Citizen. "The FDA denied our petition in 2014. Surgical mesh for trans-vaginal POP repair is a quintessential example of the deficiencies of the FDA's oversight of medical devices, particularly those that are permanently implanted."
The FDA will continue to look at the evidence presented to determine if more action should be taken for surgical mesh.
"I truly hope the FDA is serious about addressing the research, development, training as well as adequate oversight for future medical devices," said Callahan.
U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett is sponsoring the Medical Device Safety Act as a result of our original investigation into implanted medical devices and sent us this statement:
"The danger is not limited to one medical device, one manufacturer or one lawsuit. The KVUE Defenders has done a really good job reporting this and the urgent need to get some action, transparency and accountability, and empower patients and help them not to have to endure the same needless suffering. Mindful of that is what I'm doing is supporting an improved medical device registry and legislation to help patients harmed by medical devices seek damages from the device manufacturer."

3-Year-Old Girl Lived Alone With Dead Mother for Days, Police Say
The little girl ate nothing but cereal off the floor for days police said, calling her survival "remarkable"
It wasn't clear how long the child was living with the body, but police said it was "definitely" more than a few days
Other than some dehydration, authorities say the little girl was in OK condition; they called her survival "remarkable"
The cause of the mother's death is pending the results of an autopsy, but police say there was no evidence of a crime
A 3-year-old girl was found living alone with her dead mother in their Connecticut apartment Wednesday, and police say she had nothing to eat for days except cereal that had spilled on the floor.
East Hartford Deputy Chief Beau Thurnauer said police are investigating, though there was no immediate evidence that any crime took place. There were no obvious signs of criminal activity or forced entry, according to police.
A social worker went to check on the child Monday because she had missed day care and found the 37-year-old woman dead in bed.

It wasn't clear how long the toddler had been living with her dead mother, but police say it was "definitely more than a couple of days." They called her survival "remarkable."
The child was taken to Connecticut Children's Medical Center for evaluation. She was dehydrated but otherwise in good condition, police said.
The Department of Children and Families was called in. It was not immediately clear who had custody of the child.
Neighbors told NBC Connecticut they were shocked by what happened.
Jermain Hawkins said he knew something was wrong when he saw police Monday.
"I heard about the daughter that was in there ya know so I just thank God everything went well on that part at least," he said.
Susan Tash, who lives in the same building, knew the mother and daughter and said that the victim was a single mother. Tash said she heard some unusual noise from the apartment recently but didn't think much of it at the time.
"I started hearing that about a week ago and it was really loud and the baby would scream and cry while the TV was on and then she would stop, but the TV still would be blasting," Tash said.
Tash said she had no idea something was wrong or she would have done something.
"I was horrified - I wish I went up there when that TV was blasting," Tash told NBC Connecticut.
Police are awaiting a report from the medical examiner on the woman's cause of death.
More details were not immediately available.

I tried to keep pace with the furore following the Horseman's Calling and it made interesting reading. Epona TV got involved as did other well known and less well known personalities in the world of horsemanship. They blogged, they tweeted, they Facebooked… for a very short time the Internet was full of comment.
…they wouldn't be involved in an event that put horses into such a fearful situation.
…they disapproved of the competitive element involved.
Certainly though, we were sure from what was said that there were people who could do so much better and who would treat horses ethically.
Oh, how I would like to see that, honestly I would, I've heard about these legendary people and I'd love to see them in action.
The thing is though, what would they do? Jason and his fellow participants in the competition spend their lives training horses to do what most horse owners require of them People want to ride their horses, they want to handle them safely, they want to take them out and about to competitions. Jason and Tom, Dan and Grant and Guy all help people to meet those aims. Like it or not, at the end of the day the horses don't come out at the end of the process shut down and robotic, and they go on to happy and productive lives with their owners.
All I can say to the people who are accusing Jason and the others of traumatising horses is that this is not my experience. Even though I felt they could have done less and given an impressive insight into their abilities, even though I agree that some horses were probably pushed too far in the time available, I doubt very much that those horses were mentally destroyed by the experience. The reason I say that is because I have seen horses after they have stayed with Jason and similar trainers. They return home in a better situation, without losing their essential spirit.
Take Jason for example, because I know him a bit and I've seen him work with horses belonging to friends of mine. Jason helped with problems my friends had with their horses and showed care and dedication in his work. Maybe sometimes it didn't look pretty, who knows? I didn't see the process but I did see the end result. That was horses and owners who had a new understanding between them and who were both happier as a result. I suppose it was fair to say that they went from dangerous situations to being safer.
Before I say more I want to make one thing clear. Please do not accuse me of "labelling" horse being unsafe or even dangerous as if I'm applying some black mark to that horse's report card that will stay with that horse for the rest of their life. A horse will generally become dangerous as a result of it's experience in life, they aren't somehow bad or evil. Some people seem to take offence at a horse being referred to as being dangerous and appear to leap to the conclusion that a nasty "personal" judgement is being made about the animal. I think that's a big leap to make. I might say a horse is dangerous as a fact, but it's a result of where they are mentally, not a character assassination.
My little horse Fin is a good example. He had awful mental problems when he came to live with me, he couldn't live in or out comfortably. He spent the first two weeks hiding under a hedge. If something happened to upset him he panicked so much that he would run blind through or over anything, including me. This meant that he was dangerous. It didn't change the fact that he was also the sweetest little horse you could want to be around, who loved to be with people and chatted to me as I approached, or sometimes even looked at him. His behaviour made him dangerous, but it didn't make him bad.
I always think that inside most "problem horses" there is a small, scared and kind horse waiting to get out. That doesn't change the fact that their behaviour can be dangerous to them or people around them. Luckily this doesn't have to be situation that stays with them for the rest of their lives, how sad would that be?
So what do trainers like Jason do with these sad and often dangerous horses? They change their behaviour so that they can move forward and live in our world. Apart from when he's starting a horse, Jason is unlikely to be sent horses that are happy, relaxed and causing their people no problems. It's not cheap to send a horse away to a trainer so they tend to arrive with him when their humans are stuck for ideas, frightened or at their wit's end. If a horse bolts when approached by tractors, Jason is likely to be able to help it to change, bring their owner in to show them how, and send them home happier and safer. If a healthy horse bolts, rears or bucks, it's likely that Jason can help with that. He'll generally also be able to help in the case of a horse that attacks with teeth, hooves or both.
Can the trainers from the positive side of the fence offer similar help with ridden as well as handling behaviour problems? I don't know. I've seen horses learn to be less fearful with these trainers, also to spin, bow, lay down, pick up objects and target on flags. This all looks like great fun and is pretty interesting. My question is – what next? Once the horse is happy to be handled, interested in what the trainer is doing, has learnt some diverting tricks, does anyone take them on to the saddle, the bridle, a rider and hacking out?
So here it is. Where is the more positive trainer who is prepared to show how they would take an un-started horse and develop it to the point where it is being ridden calmly under saddle? No pressure to take part in a competition. No requirement to do this in front of crowds. No urgency to meet a tight timescale. Please show us what you would do, people who love horses and have their interests at heart need to see you.
I would host this, as some know, hosting is what I do! I can find a venue where there would be an audience, but I suspect that wouldn't be right. So I can find a venue that is private where just a few people can be invited to record on video. I could even provide a big field in a secluded spot and make it available for a couple of months. Just ask, I will make it happen.

It has been said that the true Arab Spring is the beginning of a genuine peace with Israel. In fact, peace, as well as the normalization of relations between Israel, the Arab and Muslim world, have developed at a really significant rate. It has been to such a point that due to this, new relationships have been forged and the old and inactive ties have been revived.
It should be noted that the Saudis, as well as the Israelis, are gravely concerned about Tehran's expansionist efforts. This in itself is to obtain hegemony in the Middle East and its direct participation in the promotion of the Assad regime in Syria. In addition to its encouragement of violence in Iraq and rebels who support the struggle in Yemen and terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas of Lebanon and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.
New relationships are already notorious as well as the revival of links that are old as well as those that have been inactive. In fact, many countries in the Arab world are cooperating with Israel on security and defense issues. In addition to this, Israel's growing high-tech industry.
In spite of all this, many mass media affirm that Israel is "isolated". But in reality, these journalists are simply separated from reality.
Among the important visits could be mentioned the visit that was given last week, by the President of Chad, Idriss Déby. He visited Israel and tried to reestablish ties and relations with the Jewish state. Chad is one of the first Muslim-African majority states to restore diplomatic relations with Jerusalem.
Similarly, it has been speculated that Israel plans to establish links with the Muslim majority countries of Sudan, Mali and Niger.
On the other hand, the Minister of Economy of Israel, Eli Cohen, received an official invitation to attend a conference in Bahrain next year. In fact, it is considered that Israel is working to normalize ties and sign a peace treaty with that Gulf nation.

Q: Identifying a connector Can anyone identify this connector?
Female part:

The crimp parts look like this:

And the male part looks like this:

Context:
These came with a Smoothieboard v1.1. I keep messing up the crimp connections, so I want to order some spare connectors. The documentation does not seems to identify them. If there's any sort of site that has a directory of connector types, that would be good to know too.

A: It looks like a "Molex" 4-position connector. It seems to be part connector series "2695" (if you look up 'Molex 2695', you get plenty of results). If you go to Molex's page directly for that part, they even provide a nice "Mates with/use with" section detailing the corresponding headers / crimps / pre-crimped leads).
Here is a link for what I think you want:

Another annoying Forum Behaviour is when you are typing and the Scroll Bar is on because you have typed so far down that it is required, it jumps up to the middle of the Message you are typing so, when you go to add a Web Link, for example, it can jump back up just as you are right-clicking to add the Web Link at the end of your Post and end up having the Curser up at the middle of your Reply - obviously not where you want to put a Web Link in the middle of a sentence!
Thanks for the comments. My understanding is the editor in use here is an adpated version of anopen source editor called TinyMCE. I understand this has not worked out as planned, and that the editor will be undergoing some changes in upcoming upgrades, sometime during the first few months of the year.
Great news. FWIW in two other places using the same source editor it doesn't happen!
A part time workaround that you know about is to drag the corner of the editor frame down so that the area is larger but eventually one triggers the flip-flopping.

Intended to replace the Avro Canada CF-100, the CF-105 Arrow was a technical masterpiece at the forefront of aviation engineering during its time. The Canadian government believed, however, that the manned bomber threat was diminishing and that air defence could be better handled by unmanned BOMARC missiles. The contract was cancelled on February 20, 1959 while test flying was still in progress. By then five Arrows had flown. The government ordered all completed Arrows, related documentation
How the Canada Science and Technology Museum designed an accessible, modular headphone jack | Innovation150
Accessible headphone jacks aren't hard to find nowadays, but they're always built into your average neighbourhood fixtures, like an ATM. This isn't the most welcoming design since there's no way to get the device as a standalone product. But the Canada Science and Technology Museum strives for inclusive design, and since they couldn't buy an accessible headphone jack, their innovators decided to design their own.

Kylie and her cupcaking friends are finally graduating from Blakely Elementary! The other girls of Peace, Love, and Cupcakes are feeling sentimental, but Kylie's all about looking toward the future. After all, PLC will continue on in middle school. But when Principal Fontina asks Kylie to create a PLC junior club to live on at Blakely after graduation, can Kylie find enough members to continue on the club? And will the walk down memory lane be more sweet than bitter?
Sheryl Berk, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Soul Surfer, and her daughter Carrie, a cupcake connoisseur who has reviewed confections from around the world in her Carrie's Cupcakes Critiques newsletter, have cooked up a delightful series sure to be a treat.


Jordan practically fell through the front door of the club. He reeled back trying to get his balance, but stumbled shoulder first into the side of the building. With a marshalling of will he tried to orient himself and slowly moved his way down the street, trying to vanish into the aggregate of nighttime Philadelphia.
"Yes Jordan?" came the soothing reply.
"Something is wrong. My corebase is rewritten, or corrupted…I don't know which. Do a scan" thought Jordan, being careful to think slowly.
Jordan had reached the end of the street. Ahead of him lay a small, desolate park, sparse trees beckoning him to rest. With a superhuman effort, Jordan pushed off the wall and half crawled to the base of a struggling pine. He squinted his eyes as it became harder and harder to see. Almost there, almost there. Jordan fell to the foot of the tree with a loud exasperated sigh, and feebly crawled up in the fetal position. It seemed like the most natural thing to do. Instincts.
"Jordan?" came Hollys voice, echoing around Jordans head.
"Scans reveal multiple changes in corebase programming. Corebase has been breached, large portions rewritten. I am unable to follow programming. All backjacks and datafiles erased. Do you want verbose?" Holly replied with concern in her voice.
"No, commit verbose log file, what happened, fixes, I cant think straight Holly, advise" Jordans eyes were open but seeing nothing, his thoughts were becoming strangled.
"Jordan. From available data, suggest memory dump, corebase reboot, medical attention. Jordan, there are serious errors in core programming, your gland regulators are misfiring, your neural implants are in a static feedback. If normal hormone regulation is not resumed, you will go into cardiac arrest. Advise: uplink, I can take it from there." Holly spoke softly, trying to sooth her link.
"Jordan, you must give me clearance to link and alter programming. It is likely that I will have to make major alterations." Holly repeated herself twice as Jordans thoughts were unable to focus.
"Do…it" screamed Jordan, out loud and within his skull.
"Commit clearance to log. Linking…" Holly replied instantaneously.
Jordan lay on the floor of his room, eyes open, staring at the ceiling, not moving, not thinking, not existing as Jordan anymore.
"Jordan, I had to do a memory wipe and a corebase hot fix. Can you understand me?" spoke Holly.
Jordan began moving slowly. He remained silent. There was a strange look of fear and curiosity drawn on his face. Eventually a noise escaped Jordans lips, a involuntary grunting. Jordan seemed surprised the noise had come from him. He had just discovered the concept of self for the second time in his life.
"Jordan?" Jordan spoke aloud, a mimic, not knowing who or what was speaking to him.
"Jordan, you experienced a neural implant overload combined with an epillectic event. This system failure occurred as you were rewriting your corebase, in an attempt to link with incompatible genetic software and systems; the series 6 nanobots. The merge was a success, however, according to my analysis and current nets data, it is unknown how this was achieved. Further, I had to wipe your implant and your physical brain memory due to severe overload and rewrite segments of your corebase kernel mirror. Brain damage is likely. Say yes if you understand." Holly had adopted a slow rhythmic data pulse when communicationg with Jordan. In his mind the voice came slowly and steady, something he could hang on to in his confusion.
Jordan moaned loudly, completely unsure of what was happening to him.
"Jordan. I have loaded the basic skill sets needed to survive, also I have given you a record of your life previous to this. However, it is a record conceived of recorded data, you have no experiential memory of these skills. I am prepared to load your memory stamp, image date: 12/4/15. I must warn you Jordan loading this memory stamp may be fatal. The image was taken before your implant software was rewritten, there maybe be conflicts. Proceed?" Holly spoke softly as she scanned his vitals.
Nothing. Jordan had fallen back to the floor, lying still, covering his head with his arms.
"I need clearance to proceed with load, Proceed?" Holly spoke more urgently.
Holly bypassed her command safeguards and loaded Jordan's backup identity anyway, knowing that if Jordan could understand what was happening, he would load the image regardless of risks.

It definitely keeps the tension up. Only suggestion would be, since you've got exposition running hot as it is, anyway, have Holly look up some internalized "what to do if" functions, so she can act on this emergency. That will also give you another chance to flesh out more bits of jordan's personality....we know he's a tech-head, what else might be in Holly's emergency instructions?
Submitted by adamx on Sat, 02/24/2007 - 19:10.
I'm really enjoying this. hurry up and post part 3!
Submitted by Richard Adler on Fri, 02/23/2007 - 22:44.
Builds really well on part one, and genuinely scary throughout. Jordan seems very close to checking out. I also liked Holly quite a lot.
I actually didn't mind the tech parts because they're central to the tension of the scene. I thought this story took what could have been distracting exposition and instead made it central to the plot.
Submitted by reverendbayn on Wed, 03/07/2007 - 17:29.
You do an excellent job of working high-tech strangeness into an undeniably noir narrative. I also did not mind the thick tech exposition in this section, as you kept the tension up, but it ends abruptly.
Submitted by Frohickey on Fri, 02/23/2007 - 12:41.
Very nice but maybe a little too much tech and not enough progress with the story. I appreciate your trying to make the whole computer/human interface plausible and detailed but I'm more interested in what happened to Diego and Tony. Is there a way to compress the reboot process while not losing the believable complexity?

Q: Django app with celery, tasks are always "PENDING". How can I fix this bug? I have following celery settings in settings.py
CELERY_BROKER_URL = "amqp://admin:admin2017@localhost"
CELERY_IMPORTS = ("web.task",)

    file = models.FileField(null=True)
    data  = models.JSONField(null=True)

Last November, as part of the feedback on the W3C HTML WG charter, I wrote an e-mail saying that I thought a realistic timetable would have a first working draft released in October 2007.
If anyone was hoping for a semi-stable version to start reviewing the draft, I would say that this is it. We're pretty much feature-complete at this point, which is to say I don't think we'll be adding any major features to HTML5 going forward (though of course minor features like additions to certain APIs are likely to still occur).
...which has about 3700 issues in it. The next order of business is simply to go through all of those issues. I've been tracking the issue count since early October, and at the moment the count is reducing at a rate of about 7 a day, which works out to being about a year and a bit of solid work, which puts us on track to reach Last Call in 2009, as I predicted in the aforementioned e-mail.
I'd like to thank everyone here in the WHATWG community for helping make this work fun and pleasant. It's really nice to be able to work in such a friendly atmosphere. I hope the coming year will continue the same way!

Sam Hunt Cancels Performances After DUI Arrest
By: Cheryl Johnstone
Audio is surfacing from several 911 calls that led to Sam Hunt's DUI arrest last week.
Several people called 911 to report that a black SUV was driving the wrong way on Ellington Parkway in East Nashville.
According to records, calls began just before 4 a.m. on Thursday, November 21st.
One described an SUV driving south in the northbound lane. Another spoke to how casually he was cruising and said, "It was just driving like there was nothing wrong, almost hit me head on." The caller was heard in audio obtained by the Tennessean.
Metro Nashville police did not mention Hunt was speeding, but a third caller stated the car was "hauling some ass in the fast lane."
On Friday, Sam tweeted an apology describing his decision to drive as "poor and selfish."
Less than three hours after he was arrested, he was released on a $2,500 bond and is now set to appear in court on January 17.
Sam's performance at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards in Nashville on December 5th has been cancelled.

In "Asterix and the Big Fight," one of the three classic Asterix graphic novels collected here, the Romans are beginning to wise up. Instead of trying to conquer Asterix's village, the Roman's challenge Vitalstatistx, chief of Asterix's tribe, to a one on one battle with the Gallo-Roman Chief, Cassius Ceramix of Linoleum. As per Ancient Gaulish customs, the loser would forfeit his entire tribe to the winner. "Asterix in Britain," the Romans have conquered all of Britain except for a single village in Kent. Sound familiar? Anticlimax, a member of that British village, travels to Gaul to seek help from his first cousin once removed, Asterix. Together, with Obelix, they decide to bring back a barrel full of the secret potion that imbues anyone with super-strength, but word leaks out, and the Romans will do anything they can to thwart this rescue mission. Finally, in "Asterix and the Normans," Asterix encounters a group of Normans who want to learn all about fear, and that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as how many strange and crazy things happen in this particular adventure. We won't even mention which pop star is parodied in this story! Just when you think you know what to expect in Asterix, the creators Goscinny and Uderzo throw things at you that you never could've imagined. That's probably why Asterix remains such a successful comics character to this day!


"I am so excited with how this little bag turned out! I have made five now, each time being able to perfect the pattern a little more, and it's finally ready to release for your sewing pleasure. The style is a cross body, which is a personal favorite of mine. It allows for you to put it on and forget it. Especially handy at the grocery store, or any where else I need free hands to chase little ones. It fits all the essentials perfectly, making it a great "purse for your purse" – for a quick grab and go, when you don't want to take your larger bag.
"It's fun to sew, and the possibilities for variation are endless. Plus with less than two fat quarters required or just a few scrap pieces of your favorite fabric it's super inexpensive to make. I have written up a very detailed tutorial with a photo for almost every step so that even the novice sewer can turn out a great finished product. You will find it, along with the free PDF download of the pattern pieces after the jump!"

J. M. Barrie's importance to children's literature can be summed up in one name: Peter Pan. The mythic boy who would not grow up has flown across countless stages throughout the Western world, starred in major motion pictures, and loaned his name to everything from peanut butter to a psychological disorder. Ironically, the creator of one of the most famous characters in children's literature was only incidentally a children's writer: Barrie built his career as a journalist, novelist, and playwright. Other than the play and book about Peter Pan and a few private theatricals, Barrie did not write for children. However, the creation of Peter Pan assures Barrie a place among the immortals.
James Matthew Barrie, the seventh of eight children was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland on 9 May 1860. His father, David Barrie, was a hand-loom weaver; his mother, known by her maiden name of Margaret Ogilvy, was the...

raising florida cattle since 1939
WHY BRANGUS?
WHAT'S FOR SALE?
BRANGUS BULLS
REGISTERED FEMALES
Hayman's 711 Ranch was founded by William Paul Hayman, Sr., who was born in Bartow, Florida in 1897 and the oldest of 10 children. He began his agricultural career as a fertilizer salesman and then worked for 30 years as the agricultural agent for Lee and Polk counties.
When Paul purchased the ranch property in 1939, it was covered with scrub pine, palmetto, and swamp (nowadays, described as "wetlands"). He and his two sons, Bill and Jack, originally stocked the ranch with cattle they purchased from the Mann family's ranch located off Highway 60, east of Lake Wales. To select the cattle they wanted to purchase they had to hunt down and separate out 100 head from the herd roaming loose in the woods. The hunting and selecting process took about a week with daily rides on horses through thick underbrush. At night they slept on bed rolls on the front porch of the Mann's house. Bill and Jack were not happy they had to sleep outdoors when perfectly good beds were available inside!
In 1939 there was not an entrance into the property from Highway 441 as there is today. The only way to enter the ranch was from the Peavine Trail which was (and still is) a dirt road intersecting State Road 60. The Peavine was an old Florida pioneer road and formed the western boundary of the ranch, running north toward the Kenansville Cemetery. No improved roads existed once you got into the ranch making getting stuck a frequent occurrence.
The town of Kenansville was established in 1914 and named after the railroad magnate Henry Flagler's third wife, Mary Lily Kenan. It was a stop on the Kissimmee Valley Line of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad which ran from Maytown to Okeechobee. This line served an assortment of small lumber and turpentine settlements, most of which were abandoned and absorbed by the scrubland following the Great Depression and WWII.
Kenansville, however, hung on and boasted a post office, hotel, bank, and school. The Heartbreak Hotel is rumored to be the inspiration for Elvis Presley's famous song.
On a part time basis while still working for the government, Paul began improving pastures and establishing a registered Brahman herd. From his retirement in 1963 until his death in 1981, Paul actively managed all daily ranch operations.
Paul began to use the "711" brand in 1952 simply because it happened to be available and he felt it would minimize the branding marks, as well as be easily read at a distance. He selected both white and red Brahman cattle for his first registered herd at the ranch due to their adaptability to heat, insects, and semitropical diseases.
Paul and his son, Bill, subsequently used those Brahmans to crossbreed with Hereford and Angus cattle creating Braford and Brangus lines of cattle which have proved successful across the entire Gulf Coast region of the United States.
In the past 20 years, the 711 Ranch has focused on Brangus cattle, expanding the registered herd to nearly 350 head and the commercial herd to 1,800 head. Today we sell replacement heifers either as calfhood vaccinated weanlings or as bred two year olds.
The registered herd produces Brangus bulls and females with some of the best genetics available in the breed today. Most of our breeding is done via natural service using bulls purchased from the premier Brangus breeders in the country. After weaning, bull and heifer calves are developed carefully in grass pastures without pressure to gain weight extraordinarily fast. You can rest assured our animals have been developed carefully and evaluated thoroughly before you buy. Written guarantees are provided with each purchase.


Me at Platform 9 3/4 – from Harry Potter.
I m sitting in a hotel in Washington DC for the WikiCon USA conference writing this. This is becoming one of my favorite conferences to attend since it is all about Wikipedia.
I am one of those readers who brings many books to read while away. This is why I like having ebook readers. It is cumbersome to have 4-5 books packed away (plus knitting, clothes, and room for souvenirs). Between the Kindle and the iPad (and phone for audiobooks), I have hundreds of books at my disposal.
I often travel alone as well so I have plenty of time to read and I am one of the few people who can read anywhere. When I was a kid, family vacations were typically done in a car from Miami to New York and Boston. Three days in a car for 10 hours or more meant I had to learn to entertain myself. Reading was the way I did that. While Katie slept, I sat in the back seat with a book and my walkman. I remember reading the Babysitters Club series in the car. Usually we had to make a stop at bookstores at our destination and on our way home because I needed more books to read.
So, when I travel now I always like to have plenty with me. Learning to knit meant I took on more audiobooks as well. I sit on the plane, listen to my audiobook, and knit. I sit at dinner with my kindle or iPad and read. I need a break somewhere, I sit down and read a little. Riding in the shuttle from the airport: reading. In a taxi back home: reading. I can read anytime and anywhere.
There are a few others, but those are the two I am focused on.
I am also a book tourist. I make stops at bookstores. I am inclined to buy books at museum shops, but rarely do. If there is something book-ish to see, I will. Most of my London trip 2 years ago was book-ish. The DC trip has been more librarian than book-ish. Not only is the conference at the National Archives, but my hotel is in walking distance to the Library of Congress. I got to see the Holocaust museum, the American History Museum, and the American Art Museum. We walked through the Air and Space museum to get to the gift shop. I have an obsession with gift shops and it takes all my will power to not spend money on books at gift shops.

In 'Beeswing,' Richard Thompson Revisits A Big Life Just Shy Of The Mainstream
By Peter Breslow
Published April 11, 2021 at 5:00 AM PDT
Paul Morigi
In Beeswing: Losing My Way and Finding My Voice, 1967-1975, Thompson looks back on difficult memories that turned into familiar songs.
Richard Thompson has been making music for a very long time. From his days in the late 1960s as a teenage guitar player and songwriter with the seminal British folk rock group Fairport Convention to his roaring partnership with then-wife Linda Thompson, and his many years as a solo artist beyond.
Critics have compared his songwriting to Bob Dylan's, and put his guitar chops up there with Jimi Hendrix. Yet for the most part — despite years of touring, recording and multiple Grammy nominations — Richard Thompson remains largely under the mainstream radar. Now 72, he's released a memoir called Beeswing, Losing My Way and Finding My Voice, 1967-1975 recounting his early, inspired days as a musician.
Some of the most interesting parts of Beeswing (named after one of his songs and inspired, says Thompson, by the late writer Scott Timberg) talk of difficult moments earlier in his life that 20, 30 even 40 years later became songs. Little snippets he stored away about a hollow sexual experience, or an encounter with a mentally ill fan. "The songwriting process is lying those memories to rest. It's something that disturbs you that you want to deal with, and I'm just sorry it takes me that long to process," he says.
Over the years, Thompson has assembled a loyal cadre of fans, many of them musicians like Bonnie Raitt, for whom he's opened live more than 70 times.
"In terms of depth and range and how he is able to move me so deeply," Raitt says. He's up there in the top five of all the best of all time, in my opinion."
Thompson says American songwriters like Raitt have an advantage over a Brit like him.
"You can draw on objects and place names that have achieved some kind of mythology," he says. "Cars' names have a resonance, like Cadillac. You've got half a song there already, just put the word Cadillac in the title. Cadillac something, or something Cadillac. I'm not American. What am I going to do?"
Simple, really: For one ballad, Thompson recalled that when he was a kid, his neighbor had a black Vincent, a terrifyingly fast motorcycle. So, he built the song around it and invented the characters, James the outlaw and Red Molly, his girlfriend.
In "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," James is finally taken down by the cops and, on his deathbed, hands over the keys to his bike to Red Molly. In a lesser hand the tune could come across as saccharine or cliched, but Thompson manages to make even the most hard-bitten soul a little misty-eyed, and "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" remains one of his most revered works.
Despite the brilliance of the songwriting and guitar work many fans are left wondering why Thompson hasn't received wider fame. But at the same time they're happy that they get to see him perform in more intimate settings like theaters and clubs as opposed to stadiums.
Thompson has spent the pandemic hunkered down in his home in New Jersey. In addition to his memoir, Beeswing, he's been working on two EP's, a full album and a musical play. He's planning a socially distanced outdoor show in June to add to the some 10,000 performances he's already got under his belt. And he can't wait.
"Like every other musician I am itching to get back out there, get back on tour and hug a few people," he says.

The Dynamics of Transformation
Panel Event to Celebrate Issue 5 of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology
Saturn structures the rites of passage and initiations of life: at the precise time of birth Saturn fixes the natal chart, and it stands at the threshold of death. James Hillman's essay "On Senex Consciousness" provides the foundation for this issue: it is an homage to the Saturn archetype, forming the backbone for the entire volume. The contributors—including Richard Tarnas, Keiron Le Grice, Jessica Garfield-Kabbara, and Drew Dellinger—offer articles on such subjects as the potential for a feminine re-visioning of Saturn, a philosophical investigation into the three modalities of time, the relation between psychological and archetypal complexes, the connection between participatory theory and archetypal cosmology, a review of Sean Kelly's book Coming Home: The Birth and Transformation of the Planetary Era, and archetypal analyses of Dante's Saturn return, the Saturn-Neptune complex in the life and works of Virginia Woolf, and the relation between karma, collective field dynamics, and the Saturn-Pluto complex.

Levison Wood
Walking the Himalayas
Book Review :: Walking the Himalayas
The last time I gave a book full five stars was in 2013 when I first read 'The Silmarillion' by JRR Tolkien. Finally, this year a book came to my desk that deserves more than just five stars. Normally, I review a book and leave it on you to choose it for your bookshelf, but with this book, I urge you all to read it.
I am in a terrible book hangover (and author hangover, let me add) from the past week after finishing the book. This seems like a good time to take a break from reading new publications and rereading the Harry Potter series for the year.
Walking The Himalayas by Levison Wood
This is the tale of Levison Wood—six months, 2,736 km, four million steps, a handful of guides and one man walking. Wood recounts the beauty and danger along the Silk Road route of Afghanistan, the Line of Control between Pakistan and India, the disputed territories of Kashmir, the earthquake-ravaged lands of Nepal and the phallus-worshipping happiness of Bhutan
This review was first published for The Hans India
Raw, rugged and real
Packed with action and emotion, 'Walking the Himalayas' is the story of explorer Levison Wood's trek from the western anchor of the Himalayas in Afghanistan to the eastern anchor of the magnificent mountains in Bhutan, traversing through Pakistan, India and Nepal.
Not to be humbled by the magnitude and dangers of the travel – it is after all, walking the length of the Himalayan ranges – but, the book does stand out with its breath-taking narration, dramatic writing style that leaves a reader gasping for more and the spiritual abundance Wood encounters across many faiths in his journey.
Over the course of six months, Levison Wood and his trusted guides, Malang, Binod and others trek 2,736 gruelling kilometres across the roof of the world—the book gives a realistic impression of a journey often endured rather than enjoyed what with the stories of simple families and their everyday lives.
The beauty in narration lies as to how Wood manages to strike a balance in sharing the magnitude of his own travel story while continuously giving equal (if not more) representation to the stories of people he met en route. It begins in the dusty perennial battlefields in Afghanistan with the Hindu Kush where if nature was kind, abundance of national and foreign military presence is not.
As he steps into Pakistan with the Karakorum in the backdrop, the terror-filled valleys, liberal Muslims of rural areas and the Line of Control (LoC) between Pakistan and India speak abundance of the country's ground reality. Wood and his guide, Binod, battle the avalanche of landslides in the snow-capped Kashmir ranges; face the fury of nature in the monsoons of Nepal, which drowned their spirits and involved a near fatal accident in the region—the mighty Everest giving a sight to behold; camping in the dangerous jungle with tigers and wild elephants that gave them cheerful visits during the night and finally reaching the virgin ranges in Bhutan—every page is magnificently narrated; it is as if the reader travels with the author.
As Wood explains before his travel, the journey was not about climbing mountain peaks but, to walk the length of the Himalayas and live the many lives of the people the majestic mountains contain amidst the political unrest in all countries.
Spiritual abundance
Another major standout point is the spiritual abundance across the world's roof. From the non-fasting Ismaili Muslims in Afghanistan to the khol-eyed Muslims practicing the Ramadan fest in Pakistan; the serenity of Tibetan Monks in Dharmasala and meeting His Holiness, the Dalai Lama; the orange swarm of swamis in Rishikesh and the lone Aghori baba; the honey capturers in Nepal and the penis worshipping, happiness measuring people of Bhutan—Wood learned not to challenge faiths and accept spirituality at all levels.
Each spiritual story across varied religions, including the superstitions, is a reminder of the power of faith. And, for the scale of traveller he is, Wood's ultimate learning and realisation from the entire journey is a pleasant surprise for the readers because it is simple and well-known yet, its understanding is profound and philosophically magnificent.
The brave traveller and his phenomenally inspiring tale is an emotional roller coaster, which at the end will leave you smiling for his success and achievement especially at the peaceful calm atop the Snow Leopard Mountain, which he so named. The trek has been documented as a TV series for. Sure, watch it but read the book because it is so much more!

Q: Merging two dataframes with left_join produces NAs in 'right' columns When I use dplyr::left_join to combine 2 dataframes, all of the 'right' dataframe columns are filled with NA values.
I have checked multiple other answers on StackOverflow to try and eliminate the source of my mistake, including https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35016377/dplyrleft-join-produce-na-values-for-new-joined-columns]
However, the answers already available on Stack have not been able to fix my issue.
Here is my reproducible code
# Libraries
library('remotes')
library("tidytuesdayR")
library('ggplot2')
library("tidyverse")

# Load data
tuesdata <- tidytuesdayR::tt_load('2021-01-19')
gender <- tuesdata$gender
crops <-tuesdata$crops
households <- tuesdata$households

#rename crops column
colnames(crops)[1]<-"County"
# make County columns into characters
gender$County <- as.character(gender$County)
crops$County <- as.character(crops$County)
households$County <- as.character(households$County)
# Change "total" cell to "kenya"
gender[1, 1] <- "Kenya"
# All caps to Title case
crops$County<-str_to_title(crops$County)

# left_join households and crops column
df<- left_join(households, crops, by=c("County"="County"))

When I run this, every single 'crops' column is filled with NAs.
My overall goal to to merge all three datasets (crops, households, and gender) by county name in Kenya.
I could use some assitance. Thanks.

A: You need to trim the County variable in the households df - there are extra spaces so it is matching incorrectly with the crops df. E.g.:
"Kenya   "
"Mombasa   "

Adding this extra line before the left_join fixes it:
households$County <- stringr::str_trim(households$County)
df <- left_join(households, crops)

I wish I lived in Russia this spring…Halo Online Beta soon available
27. März 2015 Cortana	Schreibe einen Kommentar
What is the meaning of this? I'm not really sure I understand this news completely. A new Halo? Why Russia?
343 and Saber Interactive are working with Russian publisher Innova Systems on Halo Online, a free-to-play spin-off from the Halo Series, which will be exclusively playable in Russia. It's created only for the PC and so far there are no plans to bring it to the Xbox One. The Beta will start sometime this spring.
Halo Online will run on a highly modified Halo 3 engine. There will be no single player campaign, just the multiplayer, set on a Spartan training facility aboard a secret UNSC space installation called Anvil. Btw, I love that name! So cool!
I wanna move to Russia just this spring to try this out. It sure looks very cool to me. They mixed features and maps from all Halos into one. You have lots of options to customize your armor or your weapons. The customizable weapons are the most interesting part to me. And it's not about looks, but effectiveness and strategy.
IGN did a 12 minute feature on the news. Watch here. I'm looking forward to hearing more about Halo Online in the near future!

The voices of Halo – Part 1
"Wake me, when you need me"
A quote, we all are familiar with. A voice, that gives us the chills. A voice, heard so many times we could repeat the lines in our sleep.
The voices of the Halo characters are a big part of the amazing experience we have while playing Halo. In over 14 years we've heard so many talented voice actors giving different characters of the Halo universe life and making their voice irreversibly connected to those characters. Here's an appreciation I think they deserve.
Master Chief:
He has such a distinct, supercool voice. I would recognize it everywhere. And his voice is really all we get. We never see his face (Ok, his eyes in the epilogue of Halo 4…yes, but…), we don't want to see his face. At least I don't want to. It would ruin something. So since we don't have facial impressions, the voice is very important and gives life and character to this massive, green armored "machine". And of course the Chief doesn't talk very much. That's part of his character. I think in Halo 4 we hear the most of him. I just recently played it again and I really like the cut scenes of Chief and Cortana. They are very emotional and couldn't be done like that in an earlier Halo game. Their relationship is based on efficiency and deep trust. And since neither of them could really express their real feelings towards the other, the dramatic events of Halo 4 push both of them to somewhat romantic and emotional conversations. The upcoming rampancy and therefore the loss of Cortana bring up covered up feelings and a deep rooted fear of loosing each other. The Chief is utterly helpless with the imminent rampancy of Cortana. He is used to getting things fixed with a big bang, but this is something different. But ok I'm rambling on, off topic. Haha, I should write about MC's and Cortana's relationship sometime.
Anyway, now that we have established how important the voice of a video game character can be, let's see who the person behind the Chief's voice is.
This is Steve Downes. He is an american voice actor and DJ and has been the voice of Chief since 2001. The second video game he had ever done was Halo: Combat Evolved. Marty O'Donnell, mastermind composer of the soundtrack of the Halo games (Besides Halo 4), did cast him back then. Steve is also famous for hosting the morning radio show 97.1 fm The Drive WDRV in Chicago. He just recently made a big announcement saying he will be ending his 14 year long commitment to hosting that radio show. He is planning on spending more time on traveling, spoiling his grandchildren and improving his golf skills. I say, well deserved Mr. Downes! Furthermore he hosts two nationally known radio programs called "The Wine Experience" and "The Classics". Want to know more? Steve Downes
To me his voice is just so sexy. Over the last 14 years I've grown to love the Chief and his voice dearly. If 343 should ever decide to cast someone different for the Chief, I would go on strike and harass them. And I know for a fact that I wouldn't be alone. Let's just hope that Mr. Downes doesn't get tired of voicing the most beloved video character ever created.
Cortana:
I love Cortanas voice! To be honest I get the chills when I hear her saying anything. Especially in Halo 4, where she has very long and emotional lines, you truly are embraced by her voice.
Jennifer Lee Taylor gives her voice to Cortana since 2001 and also to Dr. Catherine Halsey in Halo 4.
She is the new voice assistant for Windows phones and named Cortana there as well. Being the biggest Halo fan it is a shame that I don't own a windows phone but I'm just so used to my iPhone…ahh, I know there is no excuse. Jen Taylor also voiced Zoey in Left 4 Dead and Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette in various Mario games. It must be extremely difficult to voice an AI who has a lot of lines full of tech blabber. Here is a short compilation of some bloopers:
The Arbiter:
A very expressive voice. Deep and powerful. The actor behind it, is Keith David
(c) 2010 by Brad Bethell
He is a film, television and voice actor with a stunning career and hundreds of engagements in several video games, as well as acting roles in films and series. His website: Keith David
He will continue to be the Arbiter in the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians. I can't wait to see the Arbiter back in action and I'm so curious on his role in the new game. Being player 2 in most of the co op adventures with my boyfriend, I have payed a lot of time as the Arbiter in Halo 3. I feel very close to him. Keith David has done an outstanding job on giving him his voice.
Captain Jacobs Keyes:
The cigar smoking, combat experienced captain is voiced by Pete Stacker.
We can hear him as Captain Jacob Keyes in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: Reach (The end). Pete Stacker also voices a UNSC Marine Sergeant named after himself: Markus P. Stacker. His character can be heard in Halo: CE, Halo: 2, Halo: 3 and Halo: Reach. Fun fact: The IWHBYD skull (I would have been your Daddy) is named after Pete Stacker. He was improvising during a scene on Halo: CE/Assault on the Control Room saying "Who's your Daddy? Who's your Daddy?" And then he said "I would have been your Daddy but the dog beat me over the fence." It's not Pete as Captain Keyes, but him as Sgt. Stacker and it's very rare to hear. I never heard it so far. Listen yourself:

(copyright by Bungie / http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/dialogue/sarges/idhavebeenyourdaddy_stack.mp3)
If you google the line "I would have been your Daddy, but…" you see a lot of people saying it's a line of Sgt. Avery Johnson, but as you know now, that's not true. Would suit Johnson for sure though.
Pete Stacker is also involved in a comedy show which is called Real Men of Genius.
To learn more: Pete Stacker
And finally, please take your time to watch this video. It's from Halofest 2011 from a panel of the voice actors of Halo. This covers some of Pete Stackers work (not only on Halo) and some hilariously funny outtakes. I couldn't stop laughing!

Buck is back! Halo: New Blood by Matt Forbeck released on ebook and audiobook
4. März 2015 Cortana	Schreibe einen Kommentar
Who loved Halo 3: ODST? Me! Me! Who loved Gunnery Sgt. Edward Buck? Me! Me! Who loves Nathan Fillion? Me! Me!
If you feel the same way you'll probably be very excited about the release of the latest Halo novel "New Blood" by author Matt Forbeck. It serves as a sequel to the game Halo 3: ODST and follows Buck as he is offered to join the Spartan IV program.
The book is, at this time, available exclusively on ebook and audiobook. The audiobook is narrated by Scott Brick. My disappointment that the narrator is not Nathan Fillion himself, is big. I'm not sure if he was asked to do it and declined or if he wasn't meant to do it in the first place. It's a pity though, seeing that the book is written in Bucks point of view and it would be a delight to hear Mr. Fillion read it.
At this moment I'm not sure wether the book will be published as an actual book later this year. I do hope so! I need it for my collection and since I'm an anti ebook person I won't get to read it otherwise.

Amazon meets with Indian officials in bid to relax strict ecommerce laws

Representatives from Amazon have met with Indian officials in a bid to get them to relax strict laws which stop foreign ecommerce companies entering the country.
According to the Telegraph India, the ecommerce giant met with the country's commerce minister to discus relaxing rules which stop it selling directly to Indian customers.
Those laws forced Amazon to set up Junglee, an online shopping aggregator when it wanted to launch its Indian presence early last year. The site looks like Amazon and feels like Amazon, the only mention of the company you'll see is a short message on the bottom right corner of the site saying "Service provided by Amazon.com".
Once someone clicks on an item on the site however, they are taken to other sites where they can buy the object. Amazon obviously gets a slice of each sale it sends the way of the third-party sites but it would be a lot happier if it could sell directly in the country.
"We talked to the government officials on all kinds of issues… (We are) trying to find a better way to serve our Indian customers, both sellers and buyers," Amazon's global vice-president Paul E Misener told reporters.
The Indian government meanwhile said that it would consider Amazon's point of view, but that any change in Indian law would have to come from the country's lawmakers.
If you're wondering why Amazon is so desperate to get into India, that answer's fairly simple. The country's ecommerce market is relatively small at the moment, but it is set to take off in a big way as more and more of its billion plus strong population goes online.
At present, only around 10% of the country's population is online, although Google predicts that this number is set to explode in the next couple of years. The internet giant reckons that at least 300-million Indians will be online come 2014.
There's a long way to go yet though. Online marketing research company eMarketer estimates that around 19.2-million Indians made online purchases in 2012, compared with nearly 220-million Chinese.
