Bobby Diaz is a Korean War veteran who served in the Marine Corps. The 79-year-old veteran recently suffered a massive stroke, and, three weeks into his recovery, had only one wish: for his family to find some of his old Marine Corps buddies to be with him in the hospital. A few social media posts later, his wish was granted in a BIG way. Word quickly spread, and Houston-area Marines, where Diaz is hospitalized, did all they could to get the word out.
It worked. Diaz has since received over 100 visits from his fellow Marines, with "Semper Fi" being one of the most popular greetings. Most of the Marines have never met Diaz before, but they still came to give him their time. Some of them brought gifts as well. "It just goes to show you," Diaz said. "Marine Corps: once a brother, always a brother, no matter what." But the Marines weren't done yet. They found out that another service member was in the hospital a few rooms down from Diaz, and they "stormed" his room, too.

The simple solution would have been to have Sarah Lewis look at Hutchinson, wonder why that got skipped.
there,s nothing new, only the unexplored

It was his home Ben, why wouldn't he dress as he pleased?
Common sense and a basic regard for his personal safety would have dictated where and when he played fancy dress.
I think your view of a particular dress code required for personal safety in Whitechapel is more born of fiction than reality.
No, I did not suggest that Isaacs lacked the money for the outfit. No money was required, that's the whole point. It was so cheap and unconvincing that the fakery was easily exposed.
You didn't?
Ok, so someone posted this under your name....you might want to contact admin and lodge a complaint.
"There is absolutely no evidence that Isaacs ever attired himself in a manner similar to the Astrakhan man; nor is it likely that he ever had the financial means to pull off even a vaguely convincing facsimile."
Contradicting your Pall Mall Gazette article are the sources attesting to crowds of people that threatened to overwhelm the coroner's office in Shoreditch. No, I do not have my sources to hand at present, but until I locate them - which shouldn't take too long - by all means accuse me of lying or "guessing".
Will you need reminding of this commitment, on a daily basis?
My bet is you are confused with the crowds for her funeral, not that you'll ever admit that though.
I suggest a little more imagination may be required if you're claiming that a non-descript labourer hanging around that general vicinity for a very short period would have caused a public outcry. That's if he was there at all, which he need not have been.
Public outcry?
Just Sarah Lewis, she would have seen him standing there all alone, like he was on Friday morning. She is the one you suggest Hutch was waiting for wasn't it, so Hutch can pick up on any gossip to create this lying tale he decided to give to police?
Have you recognised the error of your ways yet Ben?
The onus is squarely upon you, then, to conjure up an at least moderately convincing scenario that would explain his decision to walk those 12 miles to Whitechapel knowing full well that his "usual" lodgings would close an hour before his anticipated arrival.
Conjuring is your department Ben, from my point of view the reason's why & when he left Romford, are not relevant to his story.
It doesn't matter where he came from that night. He did not say his "usual place" was closed before he met Kelly. So, it's not an issue.
You made the exceptionally unconvincing suggestion that bad weather caused him to "shelter" somewhere en route.....
Yep, silly me, English weather is always sunny & warm. I shoulda known you'd get me on that.
Hutchinson was not "homeless", Jon. If you accept the man at his word, he walked 12 miles in attempt to secure lodgings, which he had ample funds to pay for, according to you.
He said he walked the streets all night, ie; homeless.
Is that too complex?
....... why did he bother with the 12 mike walk at all if he knew that "option #1", his usual place, wouldn't have been open?
Why do you choose to argue about a detail that cannot possibly be known?
Well, I'm dying to know what the alternative could possibly be. I'm all ears, Jon. You do understand, presumably, that when Hutchinson initiated contact with the police on 12th, it was the very first time the police hierarchy had ever heard Hutchinson's name in connection with the ripper investigation? Or are you now disputing even this?
See, you just made another statement, as if it was fact. Yet you do not know if what you said is true.
Another example of guessing Ben?
If a "superior" had heard about Hutchinson on Sunday, he would have sent a detective immediately to the Victoria Home to track him down.
Do you think Scotland Yard detectives were just sitting around waiting for suspect sightings to come in?
I must have missed the part of this "education" that addressed the cases of witnesses who only warp out of "reluctant to get involved" mode the moment the public inquest closes - the same inquest at which it is revealed that the witness was himself "witnessed" by a passer-by on the night of the crime. It's almost as if the two events were related.
Nah, couldn't be.
Reducing your argument down to the finest detail in order to make it sound special - how often do we see this approach?
Witnesses, in murder cases don't always come forward - live with it.
Move on to the next argument.
Joshua Rogan
No, Joshua, but it might make you someone who hasn't researched the subject of Victorian gas lighting in any great depth. A modern day gas lantern of the type used for outdoor activities is not "feeble", by any means. Such items are mini Blackpool Towers compared to the naked flames under glass houses, which proliferated the streets of London in 1888.
You'll also note the difference between the surface area of a top or pullover and a very small handkerchief, produced for a fleeting moment 35 meters away.
I've never heard of anyone wearing their handkerchiefs in their outer overcoat pockets, nor have I heard of anyone whose abdomen protrudes to such an extent that a watch chain seal can be on display on a dark street underneath two overcoats.
But I suppose some people are anxious for the ripper to be an exotic "interesting" creature, and so bypass these and other common sense considerations.
So many assumptions in that reply, almost all of them wrong.
Nevertheless, for my own amusement - I don't harbour any illusions about convincing you - I experimented tonight using my own camping lantern in the garden. And I hadn't even had a drink.
Adjusting the lantern to match the brightness of a handy 24 watt lamp (yes, modern lanterns are adjustable so can appear as feeble as a Victorian street lamp), stuck it on a pole approximately 6 feet above head height and paced out 38 yards (where I ran into a fence), leaving my glamorous assistant under the lantern to pull various coloured hankies from her pockets in random order. Make of it what you will, but to me the light was more than bright enough to make red ones appear red (and the others not).
For added excitement we repeated the experiment using just a candle in a jam-jar for illumination, and even this provided enough light to make out which hanky was red at over 30 yards, even when folded.
This clearly shows (to me, if to no-one else) that there is nothing inherently unbelievable about Hutchinson's red handkerchief claim, whether he saw it from the end of Dorset Street, from outside Commercial St Chambers or as Kelly and her new companion walked past him at the Queen's Head.
25 ft Ben, you're shameless attempt to exaggerate a detail to try win another argument is well known by all the regulars.
Like I've said before, the black jacket, waistcoat & watch chain, were part of the description, so obviously visible. Which means the astrachan trimmed coat was very likely open, exposing a red pocket handkerchief.
Lewis described the man she witnessed as 'short and stout.' The reporter described Hutchinson as of 'military appearance.' Does one usually use this latter phrase to describe someone that is short and stout? How do you know it is even the same man?
Hi RJ
For what it's worth, Lewis was a good distance away across the street, but the police, we might assume, sat face to face, if taking down his story.
Being of 'military appearance' suggested to me Hutchinson looked presentable & tidy, possibly hair cut & any facial hair trimmed to look smart. His attire possibly well kept.
Size & stature could be anything.

Not compulsory Joshua, no.
There are a good number of British soldier group photo's from the 19th century and while the moustache was popular, it was not worn by every soldier.
RJ,
Two quite different situations,might be expected to provide two different answers.Lewis saw the man for a very short period of time,in poor light,wearing an overcoat.Short people in overcoats do tend to appear stouter(my observation).The reporter was able to study Hutchinson for a much more lengthy period of time,in much better light,and perhaps without a top coat.I have served under short stout senior officers,who presented a military appearance.
As I tend to view Huttchinson as suspect rather than as a witness,the length of time before putting in an appearance,can be assessed differently.From some coming forward immediately,to other varying lengths of time before doing so,depends on several factors.In Hutchinson's case the telling factor is that he decided to come forward in the guise of a witness,which could and should, have been done no later than Saturday.He could add nothing to his story by waiting
Commisioner
I do love the way you continue to refer to my arguments as "unconvincing", as though I had the remotest hope in hell of wresting away your apparently long held investment in Tumblety as the ripper by "convincing" you of someone else's guilt.
I would obviously expect nothing less than total opposition to any attempt to "fit up Georgie" from anyone who believes the ostentatiously attired quack herbalist was the miscreant, and yet these days - and please don't take this as an incendiary observation - the Tumbleyites do seem to be in a distinct minority in comparison to those who believe Hutchinson has a case to answer as a probable fibber, if not a serial killer.
I don't know if Hutchinson was the killer, but there are strong indications that he was observed near a crime scene and later lied about his reasons for being there. No, it doesn't automatically a slasher make, but it does make him the best of a less than perfect bunch, to my mind.
Anyway, moving on, why did Hutchinson claim to have waited 45 minutes? Well, one obvious answer is that he did precisely that, and admitted as much to allow for the possibility of other witnesses having seen him besides Lewis. Better to "legitimise" his presence for the full length of his vigil, rather than pretend he was there for a shorter period and risk being countered and exposed by yet another witness.
If the impetus for GH coming forward was the brief sighting by Sarah Lewis, which you claim it was, he could have told Badham that he had walked all day, was shut out for the night, was tired and rested a few minutes, and then moved on. Full stop
If Hutchinson's intention was to vindicate his presence at the crime scene whilst simultaneously deflecting suspicion in a convenient Jewish direction, the above explanation would only have met one of those criteria. In addition, it would obviously have helped cement Astrakhan's credentials as the likely ripper if Hutchinson could help "place" him in Kelly's room for just the right amount of time to render unlikely the chances of anyone else arriving at Kelly's doorstep. The likely impression Hutchinson sought to convey was "he was in there for a 45 minute, and he was still there when I left, so he was evidently staying there".
It's all very well suggesting that Hutchinson was permitted to "guess" the colour of the handkerchief - on the grounds, we are told, that red was such a common colour for handkerchiefs in those days (so was dark hair - maybe he guessed that too?). But we're stretching credulity yet further now with the suggestion that he was able to discern an actual pattern on a tiny garment, at night time, from 120 feet away, with a little flame for illumination.
This is quite clearly impossible.

"I think your view of a particular dress code required for personal safety in Whitechapel is more born of fiction than reality"
You think what you like, Jon. I can only urge common sense and seek to impress the bleedin' obvious upon the frighteningly obstinate so many times.
I have no intention of reporting you to anyone. You quoted me correctly and I stand fully by my observation; Isaacs did not have the means to pull off anything like an "Astrakhan" level of apparent opulence, which is why his efforts were easily exposed as bogus and presumably laughed at.
As for the crowds outside the court, we can always start you off with this from your nemesis, The Echo:
At no inquest held in Whitechapel upon any of the victims of the East-end murderer has there been so much public interest shown, for from fully an hour before the announced time of holding the inquiry little knots of spectators, many unconnected with the case, gathered in front of the Shoreditch Town-hall, where the proceedings were opened by DR. MacDonald, touching the death of Mary Janet Kelly.
So your claim that Hutchinson would have been "all alone" if he was briefly in the vicinity of the town hall prior to the inquest, is instantly proven false, much like your "passing up the court" couple, like "Isaacstrakhan". The list goes on...
All I ask is that you at least have a bash at a vaguely credible explanation for Hutchinson's failure to secure lodgings anywhere in the east end, despite having funds to pay for them; and why, if he was so intent on avoiding anywhere other than his "usual lodgings", did he walk all those miles home in the certain knowledge that he would have missed closing time by one hour.
He said he walked the streets all night, ie; homeless. Is that too complex?
It makes no sense for him to have "walked about all night" if he had money to pay for lodgings at one of the hundreds of homes still open in the area. Is that too complex?
If Hutchinson had truly alerted a PC, and that PC had truly informed his superiors about it, what do you suggest went so terribly wrong that the police hierarchy only learned of Hutchinson's existence when he came forward at 6.00pm on the 12th?
Witnesses in murder cases don't always come forward - live with it.
Move on to the next argument
Yes, but the evidence in this case suggests that the "witness" would not have come forward at all had he not been seen.
I'll "move on to the next argument" when you do, Jon, and not a second before.
120 feet, actually.
I refer to the distance between the corner of Commercial/Dorset Street (Hutchinson) and the entrance to Miller's Court (Kelly/Astrakhan).
It's always fun, though, when you pretentiously invoke "all the regulars".
A handkerchief is not going to be on display underneath a jacket and overcoat, Jon. Not even Hutchinson made such a claim.
Well you're right, sort of. In that technically it was forbidden to shave the upper lip, it would be impossible to force a moustache to grow.
Excuse the Wikipedia reference, I have read it somewhere more authoritative but this seems to cover it succinctly;
"After the Crimean war, regulations were introduced that prevented serving soldiers of all ranks from shaving above their top lip, in essence making moustaches compulsory for those who could grow them, although beards were later forbidden. This remained in place until 1916, when the regulation was abolished by an Army Order dated 6 October 1916. It was issued by Nevil Macready, Adjutant-General to the Forces, who loathed his own moustache and immediately shaved it off. However, there is considerable evidence in photographs and film footage that the earlier regulations were widely ignored and that many British soldiers of all ranks were clean-shaven even before 1916. This was often because the penalty for not growing a moustache was rarely enforced, as it wouldn't hold in military court for court-martialling."
It's not impossible that I've confused the year. It's been a while since I looked at the Green River case. Apologies if so.
John Douglas had the following to say on Ridgway's "proactive technique":
"...We indicated the UNSUB would inject himself into the investigation. Ridgway did so by providing information about one of the victims, whom he knew. That victim was killed differently than the others. A bag was placed over her head, an empty wine bottle and a pair of dead fish placed on her body. My analysis to police was that the killer knew this victim due to how the killer posed her after death. Ridgway came forward to "volunteer" information on this one because I'm sure he was afraid police would come across his name during the investigation.
It was his own proactive technique."
Apparently the victim in question was Carol Ann Christensen who did, as it would later transpire, know Ridgeway personally.
I concede a difference with the Hutchinson scenario insofar as Ridgway was already known to the police when he came forward, whereas Hutchinson ostensibly was not. Far more significant to my mind, however, are the similarities; injecting himself into the investigation, and knowing the deceased personally, the latter's body having been "posed differently to the others".
Ridgeway was motivated into coming forward because he feared an incriminating link being made between himself and the victim, just as several authors have proposed with regard to Hutchinson and Kelly.
In Hutch's case, the only possible way for any such 'incriminating link' to ever be made would be if he had been careless enough to allow his face to be seen clearly while he was waiting to enter the room of this woman he knew personally, for the purpose of murdering her and posing her differently from the others! He had only to keep his head down a bit in the darkness, with his hat down over his hair and facial features, and no bugger alive could have sworn to him again. If he'd killed several times in recent weeks, do you seriously imagine he'd have failed to take this simplest of measures to avoid the risk of even the nosiest witness being able to describe him, let alone point him out at a future time, if he really had no choice but to hang out near Dorset Street in the days and weeks after doing the deed?
How did he know, in 1888, that injecting himself into the investigation and putting himself so close to the murder scene of a woman he knew personally, would actually be safer than not doing so? And why would he think that, given there was virtually nothing in those days that could get him buckled, unless he was caught red-handed or while trying to flee the scene, with the evidence still on his person?
The next best thing the police could hope for, with very little chance of a confession, was to have the wanted man in front of them, tripping himself up during questioning or telling a pack of obvious lies. In 1888, it would be a fine line between brave and foolhardy for any criminal to put himself in that position voluntarily when he should have had absolutely no need if he'd been just that little bit smarter on the night.

BCCI approves revision of domestic cricket
In its bid to overhaul the structure of domestic cricket, the BCCI on Monday approved the recommendations of the Special Committee on the revision of the Ranji Trophy format, under which 27 teams will be divided into three groups of nine sides each.
The decisions were taken by the BCCI's Working Committee meeting which met at New Delhi on Monday.
The top three teams from Group A, B and C will qualify for the knockout stage.
The inter-state tournament for the under-22s will be referred to as the 'A' teams tournament, and will feature cricketers in the under-25 age-group.
It was also decided that the India 'A' team will tour New Zealand in September-October.
The Board also allowed Chhattisgarh to participate in the under-16 inter-state tournament (Plate Group).
Besides, the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy will feature the winners of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and two teams would be picked by the All-India Senior Selection Committee.
The technical committee headed by Sourav Ganguly and the special committee comprising of another former captain Anil Kumble, among others, had recommended some sweeping changes in the domestic cricket structure on June 12.


176 Here is another example of how a worried mind affected the body cells to the point of physical breakdown. For twenty years a friend of mine had prided herself on being an immaculate housekeeper. In fact, her home was so "freshly-vacuumed" looking, both family and friends were never quite comfortable in it. While entertaining, she had an annoying habit of watching the ash trays, fairly snatching them out from under cigarettes so she could replace with clean ones. Her every move, every facial expression reflected nervous anxiety, making the atmosphere in the home vibrant with uneasy tension.
175 The natural state of the body cells is a relaxed, yet busy approach to life. When you distort their normal expression through tenseness, they broadcast this inharmony to all about you. We have many examples of this in our daily lives. Notice that when you are tense and out of sorts, and lash out at someone with a sharp retort, you will usually receive a sharp answer. This is caused by the cells of your body impressing their feeling of discontent upon the body cells of the other person. And because you are expressing a strong, destructive emotion that most people have not learned to guard against, their body cells respond in like manner. So if you want to make a happy life for yourself and those around you ... watch those emotions! Stop worrying over every little thing-and over every big thing, too. Worry has never yet solved a problem or changed a circumstance.
174 Stop and study yourself impartially. Do you rush about, your body a quivering mass of taut, jangling nerves? Is your mind racing ahead to all the things you feel you must accomplish? If so, you will find every muscle in your body is tense. At the end of the day your body and mind will be fatigued. Even sleep will not bring repose if the mind is not at rest, and in time nature will rebel against your continuously breaking one of her fundamental laws. For when your body and mind are tensed and worried, the cells will not function properly.
171 Every moment of our lives provides us with ample evidence of the intelligence of the body cells. While we go about our daily routine, these busy cells oversee the intricate functionings of our bodies. With no assistance from our conscious mind, they extract the essence of the foods we eat, parcel it out to the various parts of the body in proper proportions, and discard the waste. Admittedly, this is only what we have come to accept as a natural functioning of the body; yet when analyzed, it represents a miracle that man cannot duplicate. Does it not give us a wonderful insight into the workings of nature? And what is Nature but Cosmic Cause expressing Cosmic Intelligence?

TRANSFER activity us warming-up ahead of the new Tolchards Devon Cricket League season, which gets under way on May 4.
Mark Gilmour, the much-travelled all-rounder who started last season with Barton, has joined A Division side Abbotskerswell.
A number of clubs were interested in Gilmour, among them ambitious South Devon CC, but he opted for Abbots, where former Torquay team-mate Nick Watkin has recently been installed as captain.
Neil Maud, a seam bowler who can count Tavistock, South Devon and Alpington among his former clubs, has moved from Whimple to Premier side Sandford.
Sam Agnew has returned from Plymouth to Plympron.
One surprise move is that of batsman Harry Geering from Lewdown to Tavistock.
Geering, a former Lewdown captain, made 467 runs at an average in the high 30s last season. Despite his efforts and run support from Dave Ball (554@39.57), the team were relegated from the C Division West.
The last two years have been tumultuous for Lewdown, who dropped down two divisions voluntarily at the end of 2017 following a player exodus.
Geering was a regular run getter for Lewdown in A Division cricket, which is where Tavistock are playing this summer, and will be a canny acquisition for Tavvy skipper Shaun Daymond.
Daymond and Geering are old friends having played together previously when Geering was at Tavistock in 2006 and 2007.
Cullompton, where Jason Parr is the new captain, have signed bowler Sam Franks from Somerset League side Ashbrittle.

Boyle Heights Beat reporter Samantha Silver, right, interviews a family whose son was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Boyle Heights.
Photo by Ernesto Orozco
Updated December 11, 2019 12:30 p.m.
This story was originally published in USC News.
By Joanna Clay
Nearly 20 reporters are getting to work, their newsroom in a back room of a former hospital. Before taking a seat at their desks, they grab some tamales and coffee that had been put out.
They need caffeine. It's 4 p.m. on a Tuesday, and they're coming off a full day of school and on deadline for their next edition.
They're the reporters for Boyle Heights Beat, a bilingual youth newspaper that covers the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Boyle Heights, which sits just south of downtown Los Angeles. Outsiders might know its famed Mariachi Plaza, a spot where Mexican musicians have played for decades.
It's an area that seemed undercovered before the paper launched in 2010, editors say.
"The community took to us pretty quickly," said Kris Rivera, a Boyle Heights Beat senior editor. "I think we filled a hole. There wasn't a lot of media attention in this community unless it was negative by major media … Now we definitely have proven ourselves as a media source."
Young reporters staff the Boyle Heights Beat newsroom, putting out a newspaper that focuses on local issues.

Many of the major news outlets swoop in to cover crime or the current hot-button issue of gentrification. Boyle Heights Beat reporters are there to cover that, too, along with the local art walk or when a business closes. They tackle heavy topics, such as crime, immigration and mental health.
They come to the newsroom for meetings twice a week to touch base, learn journalism tricks and get feedback on stories. They get one-on-one mentoring.
Busy reporters
And on top of that, they make time for their reporting.
Reporter Samantha Silva, 17, is juggling a lot. She's taking Advanced Placement classes and is on the dance team, swim team and in multiple clubs. Sometimes, due to dance practice, she starts her day at 4 a.m. and isn't home until 7:30 p.m.
"I usually try to let them know I'm a high school student — they get the hint that I can't talk until after 3 p.m.," she said. But when she's not in class — on her break, at lunch, after school and on weekends — she's making calls.
She's currently interviewing teachers for a story about their financial struggles. In the past, she's reported on homeless initiatives and interviewed the family of a man slain by police.
"It lets me realize more about what's going on in my community while also educating others," Silva said.
Michelle Levander, director of the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism, and former La Opinión Executive Editor Pedro Rojas started the paper in 2010 as a way to train youth but also serve an underreported community.
The community takes them seriously, too. When Eric Garcetti was elected mayor in 2013, Boyle Heights Beat was his first stop.
"People really trust these young people to tell their stories and the young people feel this tremendous sense of responsibility to share their concerns," said Levander, co-editor and publisher.
The reporters solicit stories directly from the neighborhood, inviting the community to meetings after an edition prints each quarter. They held one in January — offering hot chocolate and tamales — and despite heavy rain, nearly 100 people showed up.
Reporter Libertad Gonzalez, who considers herself shy, offered to run that one.
"I took the initiative to step up," Gonzalez, 16, said. "I stood in front of the room. I was helping people ask questions. I think that helped me become a better speaker."
She joined Boyle Heights Beat this year and said it's made her more assertive.
"I think with reporting, it helps me become more confident," she said. "I'm not really an outgoing person. I don't like to raise my hand and answer questions. Now, with Boyle Heights Beat … I'm not so nervous about stating my opinion."
Former reporters said what they learn at the paper sticks with them.
Jacqueline Ramirez, 20, is now a student at Santa Monica College. When assigned a paper about the effectiveness of standardized tests for a class, she didn't just cite research. She put her reporter hat on, interviewing students and academics who know the issue firsthand.
"In order to find out information you need to go up to people and start asking them questions," said Ramirez, who continues to help the paper with outreach. "You have to be curious."
About Boyle Heights Beat
Founded in 2010 by Michelle Levander, a veteran journalist, and Pedro Rojas, former executive editor of Spanish-language newspaper La Opinión.
Funded primarily by The California Endowment, USC is also a sponsor, providing a grant through its Good Neighbors Campaign.
It's printed four times a year – 33,000 copies going to homes and throughout the community. There's also a website.
Former and current journalists serve as mentors, accompanying the youth reporters on interviews and helping them craft stories.

Putin Daughter's Foundation Posts Record Profits
Katerina Tikhonova	Screenshot Rossia 24
A foundation run by President Vladimir Putin's alleged daughter has earned a record 488 million rubles ($7.6 million) last year, the Open Media news website reported Wednesday.
Katerina Tikhonova, 33, is widely believed to be Putin's younger daughter, though the president has neither confirmed nor denied this. Tikhonova's foundation operating under the Innopraktika brand boasts a board of powerful tycoons and Putin allies.
Reuters Confirms Identity of Putin's Daughter
Innopraktika's earnings ballooned by 65% from 296 million rubles ($4.6 million) in 2017 to 488 million rubles ($7.7 million) in 2018, according to statistics and corporate data cited by Open Media.
Innopraktika's spokesperson told the outlet that in 2018 it carried out work on more than 30 contracts worth more than 400 million rubles in total. In 2017, Innopraktika reportedly carried out work 36 contracts worth more than 300 million rubles.
Russia's state nuclear energy company Rosatom in 2019 replaced the oil giant Rosneft as the foundation's largest state client with contracts worth 185 million rubles ($2.9 million), Open Media reported.
Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin and Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev both sit on Innopraktika's board. The board also includes Russia's richest man and gas tycoon Leonid Mikhelson, the head of the Rostec state industrial conglomerate Sergei Chemezov and other energy CEOs.
Past reporting based on financial disclosures said that spending by Tikhonova's foundation has exploded in recent years.
Public documents examined by Reuters in 2015 reportedly said that Tikhonova has signed contracts worth several million dollars with state-owned companies for her organizations to carry out work at the prestigious Moscow State University. It said did not find any indication that she has gained financially from this work.
Innopraktika was founded near Moscow State University in 2012 as a conglomerate of the university's National Intellectual Reserve Center and Tikhonova's National Intellectual Development Foundation.

The Vive is expensive, not particularly lacking in commitments (it requires a significant amount of space and wiring), and requires a beefy PC. But it's the most immersive and complete VR experience out there right now. The additional $200 over the Oculus, for example, seems to be made up for by the advanced touch controllers which come with the Vive. If you have money to burn and an interest in virtual reality, for now, HTC's Vive is the device to beat.
-- As reviewed by Time
Last revision on March 16, 2021
Lots of innovative motion control-based games and experiences
6 degree of Freedom controllers
Head tracking is superior to Oculus Rift
A lot of games in the library
Smooth graphics with little latency
Allows players to walk around in a virtual environment
Touch controllers are easy to use and highly adaptable
Magical room-scale tracking
Base stations accurately track an area up to 15ft x 15ft
Fat-out amazing virtual reality experience with sharp visuals, great motion controls and full-room sensing to walk around in virtual space
Many games still feel unfinished
No built-in audio
Potential tripping hazard
Must remain tethered to PC
Heavy and hard to wear for long periods
Long wires and lots of equipment take time and space to set up
SteamVR, at least at launch, is unstable and crash-prone
Large amount of floor space needed
LG 360 VR
Razer OSVR Hacker Developer Kit 1.4
While the Vive's best moments are some of the coolest I've experienced in video games, I can't recommend purchasing it right now. You'd be spending $800 on something that's going to be much better after months' worth of software (and maybe even hardware) revisions, and there currently aren't enough great games to justify the investment.
By TechRadar on October 21, 2016 100
If you have the budget, the HTC Vive is the best virtual reality experience on the market, bar none.
By TrustedReviews on April 19, 2016 90
If you can afford it and have the room for it, the HTC Vive offers, quite simply, the best virtual-reality experience you can get.
By IGN on April 07, 2016 93
Its demanding setup and fits of unreliability give the Vive major caveats, but the simple fact is that this is an unprecedented piece of hardware that opens up absolutely amazing possibilities for gaming and beyond. The ability to not just see a virtual environment, but physically explore it and have it react to our body movements will change the way we think about the future of gaming. If you're willing to rearrange your furniture to experience everything this exciting new technology has to offer as soon as possible, the Vive is absolutely the VR headset for you.
By The Verge on April 05, 2016 80
In the end, there's a good argument that the Vive's ideal customers are neither makers nor players of games. Virtual reality has a long history in fields like architecture, industrial design, and military training, and the solid, no-nonsense Vive can replace older solutions like CAVE rooms at a fraction of the cost. Oculus has clearly thrown its weight behind VR film and gaming, but Valve and HTC have been more circumspect — they didn't craft an entertainment ecosystem, they just showed up with some goggles and controllers and let people play with them. For now, at least, that's turned out to be enough.
By cnet on April 05, 2016 81
Vive is the best virtual-reality experience you can have right now, thanks to its motion controls and room-scale tracking. It's the closest thing to having a holodeck in your home.
By Engadget on April 05, 2016 82
The HTC Vive offers the best in-home VR experience yet, but it's too unwieldy to truly enjoy for extended play sessions.
By PCWorld on April 05, 2016 80
If we chart the progression of video games from Spacewar and Zork all the way through to 2016, then the HTC Vive is the next logical step towards realism.
By TomsHardware on April 05, 2016 90
HTC's Vive provides an experience you can't get with any other product. It is expensive, but in our view that cost is justified.
By Upload VR on April 05, 2016 80
The Oculus Rift proves you don't need room scale and hand tracked controllers to have some impressive VR experiences, the Vive showcases just how much you are going to want them. For those who are looking to invest in VR early, have the space, and don't mind the $800 price tag – the Vive is an absolute must buy. It may not have quite the same level of consumer polish or comfort as the Rift, but the HTC Vive is the total package that virtual reality enthusiasts are looking for.
By GizMag on April 05, 2016 90
The HTC Vive is a phenomenal gaming product that, expensive as it is, gives you plenty in return with its magical, transportive experiences. And these will only get better as developers have more time to create deeper games for it. Facebook's Rift will also deliver magical experiences (and it will feel more complete later this year when Oculus Touch launches), but the first-gen Vive has the higher ceiling. Chaperoned room-scale VR pushes VR's frontiers farther forward than seated or standing VR does, with no added drawbacks.
By TomsGuide on April 05, 2016 80
The HTC Vive delivers an unrivaled virtual-reality experience with crisp graphics, accurate room tracking and intuitive touch-enabled controllers.
By Time on April 05, 2016 90
By PCMag on April 05, 2016 80
The HTC Vive is the most comprehensive virtual reality system available, and also the most expensive.


World peace achieved: Kanye West and former nemesis Taylor Swift will be hanging out in the studio soon. West called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Wednesday morning to discuss, among other things, why Beck's artistry is so awesome and why he momentarily crashed the stage at the Grammys (just jokes, duh).
He once again praised Beck as one of the nicest guys he has ever met.
However, the most eventful news was that Taylor Swift has her sights set on collaborating with Kanye. Exciting. "She wants to get in the studio and we're definitely gonna go in," West tells Seacrest. "Any artist with an amazing point of view, perspective, fan base, I'm down to get in the studio and work. I don't discriminate. I don't have an elitism of music because of, like, how many Grammys or the amount of ratings you get on an album." In fact, West decreed: "No more isms."
Ye says Swift also told him should've followed through on his Beck stage crash, to which he sighed, "This is the irony of my life." Listen below.

Dumpster Rental in North Highlands CA - Get a Quote!
North Highlands Dumpster Rental to Get Excited About!
Dumpster Rental Prices in North Highlands - A Quick Guide.
Rent a 10, 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpster in North Highlands, CA Today!
We service all of North Highlands. Give us a call today to get the dumpster rental process started!
Dumpster rental companies generally have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is consistently in play. In case you'd like to dicker on the price, call around to other businesses first so you know what the going rental rate is. When you're talking to the company you want to utilize, only mention other prices which are better than theirs. Some businesses WOn't only fit that lower cost, they'll really conquer it to satisfy their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you're renting a dumpster in North Highlands. Some businesses will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and much more. It never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this procedure.
You can even save on the cost by asking about the best way to avoid additional expenses (such as tipping fees or overage charges) and ensuring you order the right size container; you don't want to pay for more container than you really desire.
Obviously you want to spend as little cash as possible when renting a dumpster in North Highlands. Occasionally, though, the most affordable dumpster rental in North Highlands alternative isn't worth it. In fact, it may end up costing you more in the long term.
Choosing the cheapest option could mean that you just get a dumpster that's too little for your job. Once you fill up the dumpster, you should have to pay for another to finish your project. It is generally more affordable to get a bigger size and avoid the hassle.
The most economical dumpster rental firms in North Highlands might not include things like drop off and pick up fees. Make sure your quotes include all additional fees. That way, you can compare costs accurately to receive the best deal. Customer support is another important factor. More than a few companies keep costs low by cutting corners on service. The final thing that you desire is to waste time looking forward to a truck to arrive with your dumpster.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in North Highlands will make your job easier and safer to end on time. When renting a dumpster in North Highlands, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
As with any service, it is always a good plan to reserve your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to ensure that the dumpster will be accessible when you need it. Should you wait until the very last minute, there is no promise that the company will likely have the capacity to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is normally adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery on time. Keep in mind that the most active days are usually on Mondays and Fridays (encompassing the weekend), so if you can plan your job for the middle of the week, you've got a better chance of getting the dumpster you'll need.
Whether or not you need a long-term or roll off dumpster depends on the type of job and service you need. Long-Lasting dumpster service is for ongoing demands that last more than just a few days. This includes matters like day to day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is exactly what the name indicates; a one-time demand for project-special waste removal.
Temporary roll-off dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they will be properly used. These are usually larger containers that can manage all the waste which is included with that specific job. Long-Lasting dumpsters are generally smaller containers as they are emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.
Picking a dumpster size demands some educated guesswork. It is often difficult for people to estimate the sizes that they need for roofing projects because, realistically, they do not know just how much stuff their roofs feature.
There are, however, some basic guidelines you'll be able to follow to make a great alternative. In case you are removing a commercial roof, then you'll most likely need a dumpster that provides you at least 40 square yards.
Many folks order one size larger than they think their jobs will require since they want to avoid the additional expense and hassle of replacing full dumpsters that weren't large enough.
One of the greatest concerns you probably have when renting a dumpster in North Highlands is how much it will cost. One of the finest methods to negate this fear would be to get accurate advice. When you phone to get a price quote, have recommended of just how much waste you will need to eliminate so you may get the most effective recommendation on dumpster size. In the event you're not sure on the quantity of waste, renting a size larger will save you the extra expense of renting another dumpster if the first proves too small.
Provide any info you think is applicable to make sure you do not end up paying for services that you do not actually desire. Some companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Make sure you understand which is which so you have a clear estimate. Likewise, be sure to ask if the estimate you get includes landfill charges; this is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.
Paying a flat rate normally means that you simply get to avoid any hidden fees and charges. Companies that do not charge flat fees may include additional charges for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in your mind, however, that you still may have to pay extra in case you would like to include specific things and materials in the dumpster.
Having a flat rate also means you can prepare your payment ahead of time. This really is especially useful when you need another person to make the payment for you. When you know the exact amount, you can write a check ahead of time. Then, anyone can pay the rental company when its driver drops off the dumpster.


The obverse of the coin displays his portrait which was created by artist and sculptor Joseph Menna. Included are the inscriptions 'William Henry Harrison', 'In God We Trust', '9th President', and the date of the only year he served, '1841'.

Appearing on the edge of the coin are the mint mark,'E Pluribus Unum', and the date. A total of 13 stars separate the motto and date.
This proof coin is part of a very limited mintage produced by the San Francisco mint.

Launch Guide
Everything you need to know about The Medium's launch
When does the first true Xbox Series X console exclusive launch?
The Medium is one of the few next-gen only exclusives. It's only available on PC and Xbox Series X because of its demanding Dual Reality mechanic. As this is a distinction that it does not share with many other Xbox Series X games, a lot of eyes are on the first big exclusive for Microsoft's next-gen system.
If you want to try The Medium out when it launches, this is what you need to know about where and you can play it?
When is The Medium's release time?
Bloober Team confirmed ahead of launch that The Medium would be released at 12 a.m. Eastern on January 28, 2021. This release time is the same across all regions and both PC and Xbox. If you want to see when it exactly The Medium will be released in your region, you can check out the official image below, though it does feature an error with the PT release time.
An official image highlighting the release times around the world for The Medium. Bloober Team
What is The Medium's file size?
Depending on what platform you are on, the file size for The Medium will differ. You will need 55 GB on PC for the game, which in general is fairly taxing on PCs. Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S players have it a bit better though, as The Medium is only 23.1 GB on Xbox. The game is already available for pre-load, so those of you that pre-ordered it can download it now and access The Medium right at release time.
What are The Medium's PC system requirements?
For those of you that don't have a hard-to-find next-generation system to play The Medium, PC is your only other option. The Medium can be pretty demanding on PC, so see if your rig can handle it with the minimum and recommended system requirements below:
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit version only)
Processor: Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 2500X
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super or GTX 1060 / Radeon R9 390X
Sound Card: DirectX compatible, headphones recommended
Graphics @ 1080p: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super / Radeon RX 5600XT
Graphics @ 4K: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 or RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6800
What is The Medium's game length?
For those of you who don't have much time to play games, The Medium isn't that much of a commitment. It took Inverse about 9 hours to beat The Medium in a completely blind playthrough. We expect the length to be similar for others and possibly even shorter if you're using a guide to solve some of the game's tougher puzzles.
Is The Medium on Xbox Game Pass?
If you're unsure about whether or not you want to buy The Medium but have Xbox Game Pass, you're in luck. Thanks to a deal with Microsoft, Bloober Team has made The Medium available on Xbox Game Pass day one. As soon as the game goes live, it should show up in the Game Pass library for both console and PC. That means you're better off subscribing for Game Pass, even if for a few months, rather than pay full price for The Medium.
Android players aren't able to play The Medium over the cloud just yet. Regardless, this low barrier to entry means that Xbox Series X players can easily try The Medium out if they want to see what their system can do.
The Medium will be released on January 28, 2021.

Breaking: Two Arrested for Blocking Tar Sands "Megaloads" in Idaho
By sparki March 5, 2012 March 5, 2012 Featured News, RT Newswire, RT Press Releases
via Wild Idaho Rising Tide
News from Moscow Idaho, two arrested blockading Exxon's megaload trucks bound with tar sands equipment for Alberta.
Early News: More Protesters Arrested for Blocking Tar Sands "Megaloads" in Moscow, Idaho
PRELIMINARY NEWS RELEASE
Four remarkably brave activists eluded the barricades and put their bodies between enormous Alberta tar sands upgrader parts and the ecological and climate devastation they will visit on us all. As three of the last five of 78 ExxonMobil/Imperial Oil megaloads moved through downtown Moscow, Idaho, two protesters were arrested for linking arms and sitting down in Washington Street late Sunday night, March 4. Police arrested two men but pulled two women to the side and detained and released them when the convoy passed. The women did not appreciate the discrimination.
In a video by Joshua Yeidel of a KRFP Radio Free Moscow interview, We Won't Be Accessories to Genocide: Moscow ID, March 4, 2012, one of the dismissed women explained her and her many allies' motivations for marching, chanting, and even obstructing megaloads and risking arrest in cold and dark winter conditions. "We're not going to be accessories to genocide and climate change and increased cancer rates and all the other ecological damages that the tar sands intends to cause…"
Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) and community members have gathered along Moscow streets to raise their voices in protest more than forty times since July 15, 2011, when the first transports of outsourced equipment rumbled up to 425,000 pounds on Highway 95 from the Port of Lewiston to the climate-wrecking tar sands. Despite heavy, industry-sponsored police presence and closure of entire rights-of-way, some citizens have entered the crosswalks and streets to briefly block the shipments and halt their ecological death march, before state, county, and city police officers surround, harass, and drag them away and/or arrest them.
For a video shot by Joshua Yeidel of Sunday night's action, Megaloads and Arrests, Moscow, Idaho, March 4, 2012, please see this video.
Fifty-one of Zachary Johnson's photos of the March 4 demonstration are available on the Wild Idaho Rising Tide Facebook page
WIRT members extend our gratitude, love, and highest esteem to the four good souls who sacrificed their freedom to stand up for what's right last night and to all of the supportive citizens on the streets and sidewalks, who spoke out and bore witness for a greener planet, healthier humanity, and a livable, worthwhile future for everyone's descendants. Please join friends and activists at 9 am on Monday, March 5, at the Latah County Courthouse for the arraignments of Cass Davis and Jim Prall. One of their spouses reported that they are doing well in jail. Besides this brief press release compiled from WIRT activists' input, we will send a more comprehensive, campaign-inclusive story later today.
Meanwhile, for more news, photos, videos, and interviews, please see the WIRT Facebook page and web site/blog and listen to the Climate Justice Forum radio program on Mondays at 7:30 to 9:00 pm PST on KRFP Radio Free Moscow.
Rising Tide North America Statement of Solidarity with Occupy Oakland
By sparki February 5, 2012 February 6, 2012 Announcements, Featured News, RT Newswire, RT Press Releases
San Francisco, CA– The climate justice group Rising Tide North America released this statement in response to the brutal attack against Occupy Oakland on Jan. 28th by the Oakland Police Department and subsequent lies and misinformation being spread by Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and her administration:
"Rising Tide North America stands in solidarity with Occupy Oakland and the marchers in the Jan. 28 "Move In Day" march that was brutally attacked by the Oakland police department. The march was meant to turn an abandoned building into a social center that would provide services that the original Occupy Oakland encampment had provided to the local community before being evicted by the city of Oakland.
"The Oakland Police responded to the "Move-In Day" march with violence and brutality. They used batons and chemical weapons on peaceful protestors, and "kettling" techniques to detain and arrest over 250 marchers. Furthermore, stories are now emerging from the Alameda County jail that police and jailers brutalized detained Occupy Oakland marchers, refused to provide necessary medication and medical treatment and denied them access to legal counsel.
"Oakland Mayor Jean Quan has also begun a media campaign calling on Occupy Wall Street leaders to "disown" Occupy Oakland. But instead Quan's actions show how truly out of touch she is with the city of Oakland and the country at large. While Oakland schools are being closed and families evicted, Quan's police force responds to the non-violent opening of a community center with rubber bullets and tear gas. While corporations are handed the keys to the city by Mayor Quan, non-violent protestors are brutalized while in custody.
"The same corporate state that is profiting from foreclosures upon low income people's homes, laying off workers and eliminating essential public services is also profiting from the climate crisis and rampant environmental destruction. As we have watched uprisings from the Middle East to the Midwest, the actions and words of ordinary people are beginning to be heard more and more. Singling out Occupy Oakland for prosecution and misinformation only further pierces the veil our elected and corporate leaders have over the general public.

Climate Group Calls for Extraction Phase-Out on Anniversary of BP Oil Spill
By Guest Contributor April 20, 2011 April 20, 2011 Announcements, RT Newswire, RT Press Releases
Groups to mark Gulf Oil Spill anniversary with actions against corporate fossil fuel extraction
For Immediate Release | Contact: Rae Breaux; 818-271-0386 (cell)
Washington D.C. — On April 20th, dozens of environmental, climate, and social justice groups will target government and corporate operations with aggressive protests and civil disobedience in an International Day of Direct Action against Extraction organized by Rising Tide North America to commemorate the first anniversary of BP's Gulf oil disaster. The protests were organized to demand an end to the environmental destruction and climate destabilization created by fossil fuel and other extraction industries.
"For all practical purposes, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast function as a third world resource colony within the US. For a hundred years, our people and ecosystems have been sacrificed to provide cheap energy and big profits," said Devin Martin, a Cajun native of southern Louisiana. "We pay for the hidden costs of oil and gas with our health and our lives through air pollution, oil spills, and a completely corrupted state government. We already lose a football field of coastal marsh every 38 minutes, and now rising sea levels from climate change will put my home, including New Orleans, under water permanently."
The day of action will feature events organized by Gulf Coast residents fighting offshore drilling, local residents in the south side of Chicago resisting two of the largest coal plants in the nation, Texas, Pennsylvania and New York residents opposing natural gas hydrofracking, Canadians fighting tar sands mining in Alberta and residents of Oregon and Washington resisting coal and tar sands exports along the Columbia River, as well as other community groups engaged in fights against extractive industries. Protests are also planned for the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Continue reading

6:40pm (EST) UPDATE: Police are reporting 21 people have been arrested, including youth and adults from across the country. Residents of Utah, Wyoming, Texas, Vermont, Georgia, Washington DC and California were among those arrested while occupying the Department of Interior offices.
Washington D.C.— Over a thousand climate activists marched from Lafayette Park to the Department of the Interior's headquarters in Washington D.C. today. Reclaim Power coincided with the end of Powershift, a mass youth climate conference, and came only 2 days before the anniversary of the BP Gulf Oil Disaster. As many as 300 protesters ran inside the headquarters in a Wisconsin-style occupation calling for the abolition of offshore oil drilling, coal mining and tar sands extraction. In an act of civil disobedience, young and old alike occupied the lobby for over an hour, smiling and singing protest songs.

The Dept. of Interior has oversight over two agencies, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) and the Office of Surface Mining (OSM), which are responsible for the BP Oil Spill, mountaintop removal coal mining and tar sands oil drilling in southern Utah. Furthermore, the Dept. of Interior just opened up over 7,000 acres of land to industry for coal extraction in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
"Our demonstration today is to show that Wyoming might be small in population but mighty in heart," said Kevin Uransky, a resident from Wyoming's coalfields and member of High Country Rising Tide participating in the sit-in. "We don't want to just stand by and allow big corporations to destroy our homes, our way of life, and some of last open, beautiful, and undeveloped terrain left in the United States. We want to show that Wyoming has a voice not to be drowned out by those of more represented states, we have a voice, we have an opinion, and we want to be heard."
Reclaim Power is being led by residents of residents of the Gulf Coast, Appalachia and the interior West – regions directly impacted by heinous oil, gas and coal extractive industries. Participants are calling for the Obama Administration and the federal agency to phase out harmful mining and drilling practices and facilitate transitions to sustainable local energy systems.
"The Dept. of Interior has been allowing the killing of my community and Appalachia's mountains by the coal industry for decades," said Junior Walk from Boone County, West Virginia. "King Coal has poisoned Appalachia with toxic water, toxic air and toxic waste. It's time for real action, not merely political posturing. I commend these fiery activists taking risks and making change for our communities and the climate." "For all practical purposes, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast function as a third world resource colony within the US. For a hundred years, our people and ecosystems have been sacrificed to provide cheap energy and big profits," said Devin Martin, a native Cajun from southern Louisiana. "We
pay for the hidden costs of oil and gas with our health and our lives through air pollution, oil spills, and a completely corrupted state government. We already lose a football field of coastal marsh every 38 minutes, and now rising sea levels from climate change will put my home, including New Orleans, under water permanently."
Reclaim Power also seeks to highlight the ruthless manner in which extractive industries are allowed to treat workers and the communities they operate in. Obama's Dept. of Interior allows the fossil fuel industry to run amok over ecosystems, communities, workers and local economies. Last year's Deepwater Horizon disaster killed 11 workers and spilled over 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The results have devastated local economies, fisheries and wetlands. Mountaintop removal is
a radical form of coal mining in which up to 800 feet, sometimes more, of densely forested mountaintops are literally blown up to reach thin coal seams. Already, over 500 mountains and 2,000 miles of streams have been lost due to this devastating mining practice. It has been recently discovered that oil companies in southern Utah greatly expanded the acres of land to be developed for tar sands extraction from 60 to over 30,000.
The 758 million tons of coal to be extracted from the four competitive leases in Wyoming's Powder River Basin will be the equivalent of 300 new coal-fired power plants.
Today's march and sit-in are a preview to Rising Tide North America's "Day of Action Against Extraction" happening April 20th, on the anniversary of the BP Oil Spill. The day of action will feature protests by Gulf Coast residents fighting offshore drilling, Appalachians resisting mountaintop removal coal mining, Texas, Pennsylvania and New York residents opposing natural gas hydrofracking, Canadians fighting tar sands mining in Alberta, as well as other community groups engaged in fights against extractive industries. Protests are also planned for the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.
Demands from today's Reclaim Power action and the April 20th Day of Action
Against Extraction include:
An immediate phase out of fossil fuel extraction and a just transition to truly sustainable forms of energy
Community control over natural resources
Recognizing the sovereignty of indigenous nations and their right to control resources on their lands.
Reparations from both state and corporate entities that have profited from extraction in order to fund ecological restoration, full health coverage, and sustainable livelihoods in impacted communities.

Visitation, service planned Friday for Billy Ray Harris
by David Young
Billy Ray Harris, 85 of Martin, died Monday, Jan. 4, at Byron Manor in Byron Center.
Born May 17, 1935, in Harlan, Ky., he was the son of the late Lee and Verda (Adams) Harris and the husband of the late Charlotte Ann (Cowels) Harris. Billy and Charlotte lived most of their lives in Wayland and Martin prior to Charlotte's passing in 2013.
Billy was a hard-working man who did whatever he needed to provide for his family, sometimes working two jobs at a time, and was still more than happy to help out at home whenever Charlotte needed an extra hand. He loved his family deeply and proved to them time and again that he would be there for them.
One of his favorite pastimes was when his son, Michael, would take him to karaoke Friday nights at the 10th Street Saloon in Plainwell. Billy would dress up in his cowboy garb, hat and all, and sing his favorite country songs.
He is survived by his children, Debbie (Ed) Clark, Danny (Michelle) Harris and Michael (Sandra) Harris; two brothers, James Jones and Paul Wayne (Bonnie) Jones; one nephew, Lonnie (Carol) Hampton; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.
Besides his parents and his wife, Billy was preceded in death by his two sons, Mark Harris and Jimmy Harris; one grandson, Christopher Harris; one granddaughter, Jennifer Medina; and five siblings, Howard Harris, JB Harris, Kathleen Harris, Irene Harris and Jewel Harris.
Friends may meet with the family from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8, at Gorden Funeral Residence, Allegan Chapel, at which time the funeral service will begin. In accordance with current regulations, attendance will be strictly limited to 25 people, so those not able to attend are welcome to join via livestream by visiting www.facebook.com/gordenandchappellfuneral
Billy will be laid to rest next to Charlotte in South Martin Cemetery, Martin Township, at a later date.
Private family service for Ruth Genther, 99, planned
Funeral for Florence Potter, 79, of Moline, is Monday
Burial service at Ft. Custer planned for Louis Stora
Service will be Saturday for educator Frank Bastian

I'm not in the medical field nor do I ever plan to be, but I have always loved looking at medical uniforms. If I am in a store that sales scrubs, I tend to go look at them. Or if I am at the doctor I will compliment the nurse if she has on a fun scrub top. If I were a nurse I would hope I would get to work somewhere that I was able to express my personal style & creativity with my scrubs.

Industrial output in May 2011 rose a slower-than-expected 5.6% from a year earlier, government data showed on Tuesday. April's industrial output growth was revised downwards to 5.8% from 6.3%.

The annual monsoon covered the whole of India by 9 July 2011–a week earlier than the usual 15 July–but the total rainfall so far is 1% below normal, the weather department said on Sunday, 10 July 2011. The slight drop in rainfall is due mainly to a deficit of rains in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Gujarat is the country's largest cotton and groundnut producer, while Maharashtra is the top sugar producer and Andhra Pradesh is a key rice producer. Rainfall in Gujarat was 60% below normal at 96.2 millimeters, while that in Andhra Pradesh was about 15% below normal.
The country's oilseed sowing area until 8 July 2011 was 5.43 million hectares, down from 5.86 million hectares a year earlier.

Data on Wednesday showed that the Chinese economy grew a stronger-than-expected 9.5% in Q2 June 2011.
Moody's Investors Service said it may cut the United States' triple-A rating due to the rising chance its $14.3 trillion debt ceiling may not be raised by the 2 August 2011 deadline. Moody's said it has placed the US government's triple-A bond rating on review for possible downgrade because it fears a small but rising risk of a short-lived default.

Amy Redding - Music and Musings
I love Jesus! And I think about Him and His word all day. God's word brings light to our lives and clarifies issues that we deal with every day. I'm an ordinary woman sharing my thoughts about an amazing God and His extrodinary plan for our lives.
LISTEN HERE...
Hope For The Harassed
"When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd."
I recently discovered that the Facebook page I deactivated was reactivated without my permission. I'm feeling a bit harassed right now. As it turns out, there is an "option" added to the deactivation page that will reactivate your page automatically after a certain number of days. That option was not there when I deactivated my account long ago. So, Facebook reactivated my page for me without my consent. I feel completely stalked and harassed.
You know, there are many reasons a person may feel that way. I've felt harassed many times. It's one thing when it comes from a persistent web site. It's another when it comes from a living person or persons. There are laws that make stalking and harassing less defensible now, but still, there are tenacious people out there who have given themselves over to defaming the character of others, or making their lives miserable somehow. They usually start with gossip and it progresses. They are so persistent in being destructive and divisive that I can't help but believe their actions and intentions are completely driven by demonic influence. Should we wrestle with these people? I guess it's always appropriate to defend yourself. But It's important to remember that at the core of our harassment, "people" are not the problem. We do not wrestle with flesh and blood, but something more sinister, though at times it seems unthinkable that there could be something more sinister than certain harassing people out there. But it's true.
So what is the Christian to do? We pray and wait and praise and hope in God, who will avenge every evil deed. Oh the comfort this knowledge brings! We need not "wrestle" with people who contend with us. It's really more of a spiritual battle. Eventually, even though people may even slay us, God will have His way. This thought really does bring peace. At least for me it does. That's because I recognize that any justice that is worth seeking will come from God and will come complete with the perfect balance of mercy and truth.
Did you know that Jesus calls Himself the Great Shepherd? Did you know that one of the jobs a shepherd has is to anoint the heads of his sheep with oil?
"You anoint my head with oil..."
Do you know why a shepherd does that? I'm told that it's for the purpose of protecting the sheep from the harassing pests. Yep. That sums it up right there. And some people are indeed pests. They are as persistent as gnats, who if left unchecked draw blood and cause infection. They are people who seem to be going for blood. We do the best we can to defend ourselves against such people, but truly, Jesus, our Great Shepherd, will indeed anoint us. He doesn't just leave us to these harassers or the demonic ones who embolden them. Everything that comes to us must pass through the hands of both the Father and the Son and God removes them in due time.
Now, let's not get carried away here. I know that Facebook is a voluntary site. And I did open up that account. But I also closed it. Yet today by chance I discovered it was up again. Do I think this is some big conspiracy? No, not really. I don't like it, but it's just an annoyance.
However, when there are individual harassers who malign our names, seek to frustrate our plans or interfere with our efforts to minister to others by tearing us down verbally or otherwise, there most certainly is a need for intervention. And yes, their harassment is part of a conspiracy, though the conspiracy began long ago when Satan set out to destroy those God loves. Because of this, our defense must first come from God. After that, we take actions rooted in righteousness to defend ourselves. Sometimes it comes in the form of church discipline. Other times legal help is necessary. But in the end, when push comes to shove, our help comes from The Lord. We leave vengeance in His hands and wait for His justice to prevail. And you know what? It's always a good show, sometimes complete with cheering...at least from my lips, that is. I do not rejoice in the fall of fellow men, but I definitely rejoice in God's righteous hand of justice. And I look forward to the day when justice and mercy are settled once and for all.
