Top 3 Bible Verses that Inspired Alara's Call (by special guest Kristen Stieffel!)
We are thrilled to welcome Kristen Stieffel to Lands Uncharted today as part of the blog tour celebrating her debut novel, Alara's Call! You can find out more about Kristen and her book below, but first she's going to share her top 3 Bible verses that inspired Alara's Call. Enjoy!
My first novel, Alara's Call, is about a clergywoman who becomes a prophet. Her call is to prophesy to world leaders about how God's people are to be governed—starting with her father. The story explores themes of faith, democracy, and equality. I drew on three verses from the Bible, each of which is interpreted as a corollary verse in the fantasy storyworld's Telshan faith.
1. Romans 8:28
It's slightly spoiler-y to say this, but when Alara gets captured by the bad guys, she has an opportunity to discuss her faith with one of her captors. Afterward, she prays:
Telshi, it is written that You can turn evil things to good purposes. Please work on these evil events and bring something good out of them. Even if the good is me preaching in a Makutian gynaeceum.
Gynaeceum was a fun find to solve a story problem. Even though I write fantasy, I try not to invent words. As much as possible, I tried to use English words, even though they might be unfamiliar to American readers. For example, Alara's title is "curate," a term from the Church of England that some of my beta readers didn't know. The guys who capture her are from a culture where women are oppressed. I needed a word to describe the place in the royal palace where women would be sequestered, but I wanted a word less culturally loaded than harem. My thesaurus led me to gynaeceum, which I could only find in an unabridged dictionary. But it's there, so I called it fair game!
2. 1 Peter 4:10
This verse is really what the book is all about. Alara pursues her call despite opposition, even though it means defying her father and putting herself in danger. Other characters in the story also use their gifts—supernatural and otherwise—to help Alara and one another.
Here's a longer excerpt, in which Alara is arguing with her father, who is the prime minister of their country, about the trip he wants her to make to Makut, the aforementioned oppressive country:
Alara took a deep breath. "Kenna said, 'Ahbay has a plan for every believer's life, and Mairah gives each one a gift with which to serve others. One must fulfill that plan through the diligent employment of one's gift.' How can I use my gift to fulfill my calling if I wind up in a Makutian gynaeceum?"
His laugh was stiff. "At least there would be plenty of unbelievers to preach to."
She glared at him. How could he make light of such a thing? Telshan missionaries were often beaten and tortured by Makutians. Sometimes murdered.
Telshi is the collective name for the Trinity in Alara's faith. Kenna is the Redeemer, Ahbay is the Counselor, and Mairah is the Creator.
Later in the story, when asked why she disobeyed her father, Alara answers, "I'm a cleric. I must fulfill my calling. If that conflicts with the prime minister's plans, so be it." This verse from 1 Peter has been one of my favorites for years. It took me far too long to figure out that it's not about me and my gifting. The heart of that verse is to serve others.
3. Galatians 3:28
This verse is the inspiration for the whole Prophet's Chronicle series. As Alara goes from one country to another, she preaches this kind of equality—all are one.
Her own country, Glynrell, is a meritocracy, really. One's status is dependent on one's achievements. A Makutian woman who has covertly studied the Telshan scriptures asks Alara about a passage written by one of their prophets:
"Digalo says there's no noble or peasant, no male or female. But that's not true, is it? I mean, we're all nobles, and in the countryside, peasants work farms. And men and women are so obviously different…" Her cheeks flushed.
"Yes, but what he means by that is, as far as Kenna is concerned, everyone is the same. We may distinguish between people by their profession or appearance, but Kenna doesn't. She judges only by people's hearts and souls."
Paul's letter to the church in Galatia is almost two thousand years old, yet we still struggle to achieve racial and gender equality. One of the things I wanted to explore in this storyworld is what life would look like if people lived as if they really believed this verse is true.
What beautiful inspirations! You can purchase Alara's Call here. Here's the back-cover blurb:
Tales are often told of heroes who fulfill ancient prophecies. Alara's Call is the tale of a woman who gives new ones.
Alara sees visions of other's futures, but never her own.
A young clergywoman with a fiery passion for her Telshan faith, she has been assigned to a mission abroad but longs to lead a congregation in her homeland. Her father, the prime minister, jeopardizes her dream and her safety when he coerces her into what he calls a diplomatic mission.
But it's a ruse.
The trip is meant to end with her marriage to the crown prince of a foreign nation, where members of Alara's faith are persecuted and women oppressed. All for a trade agreement her father is desperate to enact.
But her mentor intervenes and takes Alara to Dorrel, the suitor she left behind. They believe they are safe, but foreign soldiers are under orders to bring Alara to the king's palace…by any means necessary.
I had the opportunity to endorse this book, and it's a beautiful, memorable adventure filled with faith and romance. I loved that the heroine was a curate who can also really hold her own in a battle :) Make sure to check out the Facebook Launch Party on Thursday, September 21st!

David de Gea's transfer to Real Madrid being held up by Man Utd's interest in Sergio Ramos
DAVID DE GEA is bring forced to wait to complete his move to Real Madrid.
The spanish stopper has made it clear that he wants to return to his homeland and Real are keen to make it happen.
With just 12 months to run on his contract United are forced to sell him this summer if they want to cash in, and it looks increasingly likely he'll be at the Bernabeu next season.
But United's interest in Sergio Ramos is holding up talks over De Gea's switch.
Ramos reportedly wants to leave Madrid and has his heart set on the 20-times champions of England.
And this is confusing matters according to Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito.
Real are reluctant to lose Ramos but they're desperate to land De Gea.
Whether Ramos moves to Old Trafford remains to be seen but De Gea's move looks a near formality.

Weekly Dispatches from the Frontlines of World Literature
September 1, 2017 | in Dispatches | by Lara Norgaard, MARGENTO, and Vivian Szu-Chin Chih
Probably the best source of global literary news available.
It's the official start of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring in the South―the beginning of a new season where minor plans and promises are made that we desperately try to be faithful to. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just the temperature that changes. Nonetheless, here at Asymptote we'll always fulfill our promise of bringing you the latest news from around the globe, just in time for the weekend, with this week's reports from Argentina, Romania and Moldova, and Taiwan.
Lara Norgaard, Editor-at-Large, brings us the news from Argentina:
August in Argentina was a month for reading. Buenos Aires celebrated Jorge Luis Borges' birthday on August 24 by organizing a walking tour tracing Borges' most notable haunts. The 24th is also the country's annual Día del Lector, commemorating the renowned writer.
On August 23, the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires (MALBA) hosted a conversation between North American policy analyst David Rieff, and Argentine novelist Luisa Valenzuela on the topic of collective memory. Valenzuela is known for her novels that recall state violence, written during and after Argentina's brutal last military dictatorship. The topic of historical memory is especially relevant right now as the Argentine public protests the alleged disappearance of indigenous rights activist Santiago Maldonado, who went missing at a protest in Patagonia on August 1.

Where lives are saved, scientific breakthroughs are discovered and patients find hope.
We cemented our reputation as a leading healthcare builder soon after building our first hospital, Good Samaritan in Phoenix, in the 1950s. While much has changed since then, two constants remain: a commitment to stay abreast of rapidly changing developments in healthcare construction and a passion for quality on these very special buildings.
The leading healthcare builder in the Southwest, Kitchell has been a Modern Healthcare Top 15 Healthcare Builder since 1983. Our healthcare construction specialists are ASHE-certified and continuously trained in infection control, med gas and risk management.

It's easier for a person to locate the icon of the famous "I like" to review in the entire page where it says that phrase and click. This is because the brain processes information faster if it is presented in the form of an image in the form of text, because of this it tends to remember better the visual content since it connects more with memories and emotions.

Order of the Mess Interview: "We are living in a time where we are distracted"
Jamie Coughlan
Order of the Mess plan to release their debut album early next year.
Cork based, but Italy born, alternative rock duo Order of the Mess are quickly making quite a name for themselves with their melodic and thundering alternative rock. Creating a huge sound that makes them sound more like a quintet than a duo, they have been carving out a following for the last few years. Over the last few months they have released two excellent singles in the form of 'Touch My Soul' and 'Si-B' which hint that their album is one that will pummel the listener from start to finish.
We recently had a chat with the duo about their fondness for videos that hark back to the MTV era, their plans for their upcoming album, and the Cork music scene.
Overblown: The new music video for 'Touch My Soul' is pretty dark. Where did the idea for the video come from?
Order of the Mess: The idea of the video came out after weeks of talks with the director Matteo Casalegno. The funny thing was we had the exact same idea for the video without having talked about it before. Probably it's related to the meaning and dark sound of the song. We are shouting "Come on! Get out! Come on!" to all the people and to ourselves.
We are living in a time where we are so distracted and you need to "kidnap" people to let them live good things (music included), we are so busy with so many silly things that we are losing the awareness about what is good and bad. But when you face the reality, everything changes. We had great fun shooting this video, because we are everything but dark :).
O: You have an album recorded and ready to release. Is the sound similar to the songs you have released so far? Any hints at a release date?
OotM: All the songs sound in a different way and each of them has its own story and the writing process was completely different for each song. The amazing job done by our producer Carlo Fajo Girardi between Westland Studio in Dublin and One Black Sock studio in Turin (Italy) was unique to let our songs sound strong enough respecting the difference between each song. We can't wait to release the album but we are not in a rush and we don't have a release date yet, we will release it when the audience will be ready. But no worries, we will introduce to it step by step in the upcoming months.
O: You recorded the album in Westland Studios. Bob Dylan, The Cure, Sinead O'Connor and many others have recorded there. What was it like recording in such a historic studio?
OotM: It was amazing even if it wasn't easy. Working with such amazing stuff in a very short time (we recorded the album in 6 days in a row working not less than 10 hours per day) needed a professional producer behind the desk to let songs sound as we wanted. We are very thankful to Carlo Fajo Girardi because his expertise made the difference in order to use that amazing studio at 100%. The historic studio excitement was over very fast as we had the challenge to make a great record in a very short time. And we are happy about the result.
O: You guys are both Italian is that correct? How do you find the music scene in Cork compared to back home?
OotM: It's correct even if we didn't know each other before we moved to Ireland. We are coming from 2 opposite parts of Italy and we faced 2 different music scenes and experiences in our country. In our country it is very tough to find your own space, but what makes the difference anywhere, is the attitude.
The Cork music scene is full of good bands but the lack of venues and support between bands are not helping it. We are very lucky to have promoters like Cormac of Cosmonaut Music Cork who is bringing a lot of good alternative acts to town trying to involve venues that usually have never been suited for alternative music. His passion is what makes the difference. We hope to have more promoters like him and more venues in the near future.
O: Another song you have released so far is 'Si-B'. What does that mean?
OotM: Si is the note B in Italian. The song is in B note, and we called that way when we first started writing the. We liked how it sounded so we kept it.
O: There is a video for that song too. Both videos have very good production value. They're very professional. It seems important to you to have impressive visuals to go with the songs. Why is that?
OotM: We are both very passionated with TV series and we think it's beautiful to have nice videos cause we love them. We were part of the MTV generation and we do think that having an amazing videos related to your songs is very cool. Hope one day to have bigger budget to make them better and better.
O: Do you have plans to release any more videos / singles?
OotM: We do, that's part of our plan.
O: You have an upcoming gig in Cork with Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. Are you fans of the band? Excited?
OotM: We are super excited to be part of it and we can't wait to perform our show. Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs are a brilliant stoner band and the 25th of August @ an Spalpin Fanach will be remembered.

Will Maddie Ziegler From 'Dance Moms' Ever Get Her Own Show?
By Maggie Malach
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
It's 2015 and Maddie Ziegler is everywhere. The Dance Moms star got her breakout gig starring in Sia's "Big Girls Cry" and "Elastic Heart" videos, but since then she's fronted a Betsey Johnson x Capezio campaign, landed a creepy role in Pretty Little Liars and even hung out with Taylor Swift backstage on the 1989 World Tour. With rumors swirling around her Dance Moms future, will Maddie Ziegler get her own show?
Back in June, she told MTV Australia that she wasn't sure about her plans for the sixth season show. "We just finished season five and I'm not sure what's going to happen for season six. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not, so it just depends," Ziegler said.
Seeing as many ALDC member have moved on, it would make sense if Ziegler did as well. Of course, things are going pretty swimmingly for her on Dance Moms. She recently had her own special throwback episode highlighting her incredible career.
She also told MTV that she's interested in pursuing another art: Acting.
"I particularly want more acting. I've been auditioning a lot and I definitely want to act," she explained. "My favorite TV show is Pretty Little Liars and I actually made a guest appearance on it. I didn't really have lines for my character, but I definitely want to get more into those kinds of shows. It was the best week of my life because it's my favorite TV show, so I got to hang out with one of the girls, and I got to meet all the other ones. It was just really fun and I got to see the whole set and it was just so fun."
Ziegler's IMDB page doesn't reveal anything about her future projects and if she's getting her own show, she's kept quiet about it on her Twitter. Given her immense talent, maturity and grace, she's the perfect person to ground her own reality show. On top of that, her career's skyrocketing, making this the best time to get an insider look at her life. If and when the show happens, I know I'll be tuning in!

Mundra is a census town in Kutch district in the Indian state of Gujarat. Mundra Port is the largest private port in India. It is most popularly known for the Mundra Port, which is the largest private port in India. This town is located 50 km from the town of Anjar, which is one of the major towns and a commercial hub of the Kutch District. The Oswal Street in the town is its oldest one.
In 1994, the Gujarat Maritime Board approved setting up a captive jetty at the Port of Mundra. In 1998, a joint-sector company, the Gujarat Adani Port Ltd., was incorporated and multi-purpose berths 1 and 2 at Terminal I began operating. In 1999, multi-purpose berths 3 and 4 opened at Terminal I.
In 2001, the Port of Mundra signed a concession agreement with GMB for development, operation, and maintenance of the port at Mundra. Also in 2001, the private Mundra-Adipur railway line to Vasco da Gama was completed and in 2002, it was integrated with the Indian Railways.
In 2002, Guru Govind Singh Refineries Ltd. signed an agreement with the Port of Mundra to handle crude oil in the port. In 2002, additional agreements were signed with Indian Oil Corporation to set up a single-point mooring facility and handle crude oil at Mundra. In 2003, a sub-concession agreement was signed to add a container terminal in the Port of Mundra, and the terminal began operating that year. In 2005, Adani Port Limited and Gujarat Adani Port Limited were merged. In late 2005, the Single-Point Mooring became operational.

This video gives a clear and simple message. We have the right to know what is in our food. If you agree, you can make a difference too.
The opposition to Proposition 37, California's ballot initiative to label genetically engineered food, has very deep pockets. With over $41 million to spend on advertising, the "No on 37" campaign has launched a slew of misleading TV and radio ads to confuse voters.
According to the latest polls received yesterday, California Right to Know's Yes on 37 campaign is still leading, but only by a razor-thin margin of 44% to 42%, with 14% undecided.
The only way this war is going to be won is for the Yes of 37 campaign to get out some really hard-hitting ads of their own - telling the truth, simply and effectively. You can read the truth about Proposition 37 here.
The ad above is pretty good, and there are several more, but it costs so much to advertise. There are a couple of ways you can help. You can share this article, or the video itself, and you can donate to help pay for the ad airtime.
So far, the Organic Consumers Fund has given more than $1 million in small contributions to California Right to Know's Yes on 37 campaign. If the campaign can raise $2 million more, it will be possible to reach every California voter enough times to make sure they know the truth about Proposition 37 before election day on November 6.
The campaign is asking 20,000 people to give $100. However, every little helps, so please visit the following page to make a donation to say Yes on 37!


It's not "I love you". I actually believe that love in the workplace can work if communications, agreements and expectations are clearly laid out.
"I don't know" said once in a while is fine but when it becomes a habitual saying (to the point of becoming a catch phrase) it's time to take action.
Ideally when recruiting (whether it's an intern or a partner), you catch this on the onset (during probation). But if you catch it later on, it may mean a serious renegotiation of roles/expectations or it might even mean cutting ties completely (Need help? I'll be writing a "How To Break Up With A Business Partner" by February).
1. It's an indicator of a lack of initiative.
In the military, there is actually a "proper response" when you don't know the answer to a question. It's: "I don't know, sir, but I will find out". The reason for this is to train and hardwire initiative and preparedness for the cadet/soldier.
When someone says "I don't know" habitually it either means they don't care enough to find out the answer or they lack the initiative to begin the search for solutions.
This initiative can be trained but in the situation of partners it could be a challenge.
2. The person may not be research-oriented.
I personally believe research skills are a valuable trait that every person should have. The reality is that with how ever-changing the world is (especially when it comes to new technology and industry trends) research is the fire that forges the iron.
If the person can't (or for some reason or another refuses to) google the answer then you have a problem.
Aside from having to delete my search history and probably becoming part of the NSA's watch list, each of these searches proved you can find clear instructions and data on about anything using the internet.
So if they don't depend on the internet what do they depend on?
3. They depend on you.
So if they don't depend on the internet for answers they are probably depending on you. And whether it's an intern or a partner, that could mean precious hours away from your mission, your purpose and the bigger picture.
So, hit the panic button if you hear "I don't know" habitually. It could mean a lack of initiative, research skills or worse an over dependence on you.

FileDialog provides a basic file chooser: it allows the user to select existing files and/or directories, or create new filenames. The dialog is initially invisible. You need to set the properties as desired first, then set visible to true or call open().
title: "Please choose a file"
A FileDialog window is automatically transient for its parent window. So whether you declare the dialog inside an Item or inside a Window, the dialog will appear centered over the window containing the item, or over the Window that you declared.
The implementation of FileDialog will be a platform file dialog if possible. If that isn't possible, then it will try to instantiate a QFileDialog. If that also isn't possible, then it will fall back to a QML implementation, DefaultFileDialog.qml. In that case you can customize the appearance by editing this file. DefaultFileDialog.qml contains a Rectangle to hold the dialog's contents, because certain embedded systems do not support multiple top-level windows. When the dialog becomes visible, it will automatically be wrapped in a Window if possible, or simply reparented on top of the main window if there can only be one window.
The QML implementation has a sidebar containing shortcuts to common platform-specific locations, and user-modifiable favorites. It uses application-specific settings to store the user's favorites, as well as other user-modifiable state, such as whether or not the sidebar is shown, the positions of the splitters, and the dialog size. The settings are stored in a section called QQControlsFileDialog of the application-specific QSettings. For example when testing an application with the qml tool, the QQControlsFileDialog section will be created in the Qml Runtime settings file (or registry entry). If an application is started via a custom C++ main() function, it is recommended to set the name, organization and domain in order to control the location of the application's settings. If you use Settings objects in other parts of an application, they will be stored in other sections of the same file.
QFileDialog stores its settings globally instead of per-application. Platform-native file dialogs may or may not store settings in various platform-dependent ways.
This property holds the suffix added to the filename if no other suffix was specified.
This property specifies a string that will be added to the filename if it has no suffix already. The suffix is typically used to indicate the file type (e.g. "txt" indicates a text file).
If the first character is a dot ('.'), it is removed.
The path of the file which was selected by the user.
Note: This property is set only if exactly one file was selected. In all other cases, it will be empty.
The list of file paths which were selected by the user.
The path to the currently selected folder. Setting this property before invoking open() will cause the file browser to be initially positioned on the specified folder.
The value of this property is also updated after the dialog is closed.
By default, the url is empty.
Note: On iOS, if you set folder to shortcuts.pictures, a native image picker dialog will be used for accessing the user's photo album. The URL returned can be set as source for Image. For this to be enabled, the Info.plist assigned to QMAKE_INFO_PLIST in the project file must contain the key, NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription. See Info.plist documentation from Apple for more information regarding this key. This feature was added in Qt 5.5.
Modality does not mean that there are any blocking calls to wait for the dialog to be accepted or rejected; it's only that the user will be prevented from interacting with the parent window and/or the application windows at the same time. You probably need to write an onAccepted handler to actually load or save the chosen file.
A list of strings to be used as file name filters. Each string can be a space-separated list of filters; filters may include the ? and * wildcards. The list of filters can also be enclosed in parentheses and a textual description of the filter can be provided.
Note: Directories are not excluded by filters.
Whether only existing files or directories can be selected.
By default, this property is true. This property must be set to the desired value before opening the dialog. Setting this property to false implies that the dialog is for naming a file to which to save something, or naming a folder to be created; therefore selectMultiple must be false.
Whether the selected item should be a folder.
By default, this property is false. This property must be set to the desired value before opening the dialog. Setting this property to true implies that selectMultiple must be false and selectExisting must be true.
Whether more than one filename can be selected.
By default, this property is false. This property must be set to the desired value before opening the dialog. Setting this property to true implies that selectExisting must be true.
Which of the nameFilters is currently selected.
This property can be set before the dialog is visible, to set the default name filter, and can also be set while the dialog is visible to set the current name filter. It is also updated when the user selects a different filter.
A map of some useful paths from QStandardPaths to their URLs. Each path is verified to exist on the user's computer before being added to this list, at the time when the FileDialog is created.
desktop QStandardPaths::DesktopLocation The user's desktop directory.
documents QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation The directory containing user document files.
home QStandardPaths::HomeLocation The user's home directory.
music QStandardPaths::MusicLocation The directory containing the user's music or other audio files.
movies QStandardPaths::MoviesLocation The directory containing the user's movies and videos.
pictures QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation The directory containing the user's pictures or photos. It is always a kind of file: URL; but on some platforms, it will be specialized, such that the FileDialog will be realized as a gallery browser dialog.
For example, shortcuts.home will provide the URL of the user's home directory.
This property holds whether the sidebar in the dialog containing shortcuts and bookmarks is visible. By default it depends on the setting stored in the QQControlsFileDialog section of the application's Settings.
This property was introduced in Qt 5.4.


Do you want to trick your son or daughter into thinking? Tangible Play is the way to do it! So often in education history, teachers and schools took thinking out of the classroom ( I fell victim to this in elementary school!). Have you done this worksheet? Good. Can you spell unfinished? Great! You want to know something outside of the text book or workbook? Are you crazy!?!?!?! Thankfully, Common Core requires teachers to shift how we teach things. It welcomes problem solving and answering why, not just regurgitating information.
When I was given the opportunity to pilot a program that links the iPad with interactive pieces, I jumped on it. Tangible Play is a company that creates "games" that interact with the iPad. I use the term games loosely because although they can mesmerize players for long periods of time, they make a player problem solve. I am currently piloting a Tangram game (shown above), Words, and Doodles. All of these games my students have learned how to play and became hooked quickly.
Students are challenged in this game to create more and more advanced images using Tangram pieces. As the student plays, harder levels are unlocked. Some students fly threw the different puzzles, while others have to sit and look at the image and try out a few arrangements before they create the image displayed on the screen.
Doodles is absolutely my students' FAVORITE game. You can use any piece of paper and writing utensil to play this game. We put a whiteboard on the floor and expo markers. This game "drops" smiley faces down the screen that the player must create "doodles" to bounce off of to hit a target. Once this target is hit enough times, the player is taken to an advanced board. This is an extremely challenging game, and an adult can get hooked easily (I did while playing).
If you want to hook your students to a game that will make them problem solve, then Tangible Play is for you.

Maine Closer To Using Ranked Voting In Presidential Elections
From Fair Vote by Emily Risch:
Maine's position as the nation's leader on ranked choice voting was cemented today, after the state house of representatives joined the state senate and voted to establish ranked choice voting (RCV) for all presidential contests.
The bill approved today by Maine's state house by a large majority of 86-59 — would enact RCV for both Maine's March 2020 presidential primary as well as the general election in November 2020. After final action of the legislature today, the bill is expected to go to Maine governor Janet Mills for her signature.
"Ranked choice voting for president in Maine is a big deal," said Rob Richie, the president and CEO of FairVote. "It represents an historic first."
Ranked choice voting was first adopted by Maine voters in 2016 and affirmed in a second vote in June 2018. In 2018, RCV was used for all state and congressional primaries and for general elections to U.S. Senate and U.S. House. In those elections, voter turnout surpassed projections, and voters easily adapted to their new system with high, effective use of rankings.
That success set the foundation for extending RCV for presidential elections. Hillary Clinton won Maine in 2016, but with a 47.8 percent plurality. Her 22,000-vote margin over Donald Trump was less than the 38,100 votes won by Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, Richie noted. "In 2016, it would have resulted in votes for third party and independent candidates helping to decide the final outcome," he said.
Under RCV, in November 2020, a similar result statewide or in either of Maine's congressional districts would trigger an "instant runoff." Maine is one of two states that allocates two electors to the statewide winner and one elector to the winner of each congressional district.
It will make a significant impact with a large Democratic field in 2020 as well. "The Democratic presidential primary in March 2020 is sure to have many candidates running. RCV will ensure far more votes count toward candidates earning delegates."
RCV has tremendous momentum nationwide. Last week, a New York City charter commission voted 13-1 to put RCV on the November ballot for future primary and special elections. This November, at least five cities will use RCV for the first time in Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico and Utah. Next spring, as many as six state Democratic parties plan to use RCV for all or part of their 2020 caucuses or primaries being run by their party.
The Committee for Ranked Choice Voting, the Maine advocacy group that led the 2016 and 2018 ballot measure wins, focused its efforts on the presidential legislation this year. The legislation received strong public support in a March 2019 hearing and ultimately passed with strong support in both chambers. Other civic groups like the League of Women Voters of Maine also supported the legislation.
"This is a tremendous victory for our democracy," says Richie. "We congratulate Kyle Bailey, Cara McCormick and the whole Committee for Ranked Choice Voting team and grassroots supporters."

Rewind by Catherine Ryan Howard – Review.
Andrew, the manager of Shanamore Holiday Cottages, watches his only guest via a hidden camera in her room. One night the unthinkable happens: a shadowy figure emerges onscreen, kills her and destroys the camera. But who is the murderer? How did they know about the camera? And how will Andrew live with himself?
Natalie wishes she'd stayed at home as soon as she arrives in the wintry isolation of Shanamore. There's something creepy about the manager. She wants to leave, but she can't – not until she's found what she's looking for…
This is an explosive story about a murder caught on camera. You've already missed the start. To get the full picture you must rewind the tape and play it through to the end, no matter how shocking…
With thanks to the publisher for the copy received via Pigeonhole. Rewind was a novel that I found gripping and at times slightly intimidating. It was a novel where even though none of the characters were particularly likeable I wanted to know more about all of them.
It does jump backward and forward in time quite often and at first I found this a little confusing but once I got used to it and the characters I thought it worked well. Natalie's career choice was one that baffled me. Internet stardom is something that I don't really understand the attraction of, but it was more preferable than Audrey's. Voyeuristic journalism is something I detest, and the author managed to make me dislike it even more. It amused me that Audrey felt the same way. she was one of the few characters I liked more than the others.
I found Rewind to be original, reading it serialised added to the intrigue and suspicion and has left me with the need to examine every inch of a hotel room from now on.
The Liar's Girl by Catherine Ryan Howard -Review.
Her first love confessed to five murders. But the truth was so much worse.
Dublin's notorious Canal Killer, Will Hurley, is ten years into his life sentence when the body of a young woman is fished out of the Grand Canal. Though detectives suspect they are dealing with a copycat, they turn to Will for help. He claims he has the information the police need, but will only give it to one person – the girl he was dating when he committed his horrific crimes.
Alison Smith has spent the last decade abroad, putting her shattered life in Ireland far behind her. But when she gets a request from Dublin imploring her to help prevent another senseless murder, she is pulled back to face the past – and the man – she's worked so hard to forget.
With thanks to the publisher for the copy via Jellybooks.
The Liar's Girl is the first book that I have read by Catherine Ryan Howard. It is a dual time frame novel with the same character. Set in modern-day where Alison has rebuilt her life in the Netherlands after the events that occurred when she was at university and also as they happened. You see her excitement at being away from home for the first time, socialising and meeting new friends and her first boyfriend Will. You also see how she has had to cope with loss and betrayal years later. Losing her best friend and her boyfriend and feeling guilty over both.
When a series of new murders occur the verdict against Will is in doubt and with pressure from the Gardaí she returns home to Ireland.
It is an excellent read. All of the characters and relationships felt real and unforced. I loved Alison's relationship with Mam. Every scene she appeared in made me smile at some part it. Whilst this is a crime novel, the murders and the solving of them seem to take a back seat. The only one that is shown with any details is the murder of Liz. I thought this novel focused on the characters more and how they dealt with the situation. The most fascinating part for me was the friendship and death of Liz and how one-sided the friendship was. Liz was a manipulative person and not really a nice friend to have. But even though Alison knew all of her faults she had always accepted them and felt immense guilt and loss over her death.
I think this is a standalone novel but there is definitely potential for a series with the Gardaí, especially Malone, the guard who was happy to show his caring side.

A Life-Changing New Audiobook From The Author Of The New York Times Bestseller, The Power Of Now. In this original audiobook, bestselling author Eckhart Tolle continues to teach us how to let go of the past and future to live in the now. Tolle urges to shed our mind-based sense of self, enter the portals of the eternal present, and live vividly in the present moment. He guides us through these g… ateways: The Gateway of the Inner Body; The gateway of Silence; and The Gateway of Accepting This Moment. By moving through these openings, we will let the power of now transform our lives and achieve spiritual and psychological enlightenment. Gateways to Now includes a Musical Reflection CD which offers quiet contemplation time -- a chance to acquire a reflective anchor that intensifies the integration of the listening experience into our lives.

Drawing from South America, Africa, Tibet, Japan and Spain this ensemble creates universal music that crosses all borders and musical styles.


In an exclusive screening and meet and greet with the entire cast and directors at the Ayala Mall the 30th earlier this week, we got a closer and more meaningful look at the love stories that inspired this year's batch of #KwentongJollibee2018 Valentine videos. More than just a loveteam induced kilig, Jollibee's viral hits for the Valentine Season are able to impart valuable lessons through beautifully told stories anchored on powerful truths about love.
"Homecoming" tells the story of Gilbert and Ruth, and proves how never giving up can lead to a lifetime of bliss and love. In a way, it teaches us about going for the kind of love that reciprocates, appreciates, and most importantly, the one that is able to stand by us through the years.
"Signs" explores the life of Star, a hopeless romantic who believes that signs will help find her true love. It is a sweet reminder especially to youngsters that love doesn't always come in the package that we dream or wish for. Sometimes, it could be that person that we least expect and the one whom we pay the least attention to.
"Status" follows Kat and her journey to realization that the true love she has been looking for has been with her all along. This is the most mature and arguably the one that imparts the most important lesson. In a time of fleeting relationships and people always obsessing about having someone in their lives, we often fail to realize that we have people around us who love us unconditionally, the same people who value us and show us everyday the kind of love that we deserve.

The Wensleydale sheep is a breed of domestic sheep from United Kingdom. It was actually originated in the Wensleydale region of North Yorkshire, England. It was developed in the 19th century by crossing English Leicester and Teeswater sheep. It is one of the largest and heaviest of all sheep breeds.
Currently the breed is established throughout the United Kingdom and extends into mainland Europe. And also available in the United States. But currently it is categorized as 'at risk' by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust of the United Kingdom, and there are fewer than 1500 registered breeding ewes. Read some more information about this breed below.
The Wensleydale sheep is a large breed of domesticated sheep. It is one of the largest and heaviest of all sheep breeds. It has a blue-grey face, and has long, ringlet-like locks of wool. It's a large long wool breed with a distinctive grey black face, ears and legs. These animals have slightly elongated ears and stand upright. They are naturally polled and have a tuft of long wool on top of the head.
Average live body weight of the mature Wensleydale sheep vary from 115 to 136 kg. Photo and info from Wikipedia.
Wensleydale sheep is raised for both meat and wool production. It is also used for crossing with other breeds.
The Wensleydale sheep is a fairly hardy and strong breed. The ewes are highly prolific with a very high lambing percentage. The breed is raised for both meat and wool production. But it is also used for crossing with other breeds. The Wensleydale sheep is noted for it's excellent fleece quality. And the fleece is prized by hand spinners and the Black Wensleydale's fleece is definitely a product that would benefit from direct marketing. Along with producing very high quality fleece the breed is also very good for producing meat. However, review full breed profile of the Wensleydale sheep in the following chart.

Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067
Like the B-minor Flute Sonata, the "final" version of the B-minor Orchestral Suite dates from Bach's Leipzig years. The handwriting and paper used for the orchestral parts (no manuscript score survives) date them specifically to the period 1738-39, which coincides with Bach's resumption of directorship of the Collegium Musicum concerts in October 1739 after a two-year hiatus. Stylistically, as with the Sonata, the Orchestral Suite may rework material from Bach's earlier Cöthen period. What, exactly, constituted Bach's orchestra has been a matter of debate since Joshua Rifkin first presented the argument in a 1981 lecture that Bach performed much of his music with one voice or instrument to a part. (The lecture is reproduced in The Essential Bach Choir, a recent book examining the one-to-a-part argument by another proponent, the early-music conductor Andrew Parrott.) Essentially, proponents such as Rifkin, Parrot, and other prominent performers and scholars believe that surviving evidence (here, the parts for BWV 1067) support the type of chamber-scale performance featured on tonight's program.
The Suite in B minor opens with an Ouverture, a French label that indicates the movement's underlying inspiration. The combination of a slower, grave opening and the ensuing fugal allegro ultimately originated in the French overtures of Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-87), who used them to preface his operas and ballets. Including a flute in the instrumentation allows Bach to fold elements of concerto form into the fugal section of the overture, with the strings doing the contrapuntal heavy lifting and the flute-led concertante passages charting the movement's harmonic course. Six shorter movements, most of them dances, each of them characterful, follow. Like the Ouverture, several of them have French origins, such as the Rondeau, or the Bourée and the Menuet, both of which were fashionable dances at the court of Louis XIV. Even the Sarabande, ostensibly a fast dance with Spanish or New World origins, appears in its slower, French guise. The Polonaise, derived from a Polish folk dance, was the reserve of German composers - it was also a favorite of Telemann in his orchestral suites. The suite closes with the Badinerie - along with the Air from his Suite No. 3, one of Bach's greatest orchestral hits - a brief, high-spirited movement and a real showpiece for the ensemble's flutist.

IPTV Times
Attending yet another OFCOM meeting, this one a parochial gathering in Cardiff set to address the 'plural' public service broadcasting market, leaves me livid. The whole affair was incredibly self-serving and probably replicates goings-on in offices, broadrooms and regulators around the world.
A bunch of old farts (yes, OK, I'm in there too) pontificating about regulating a world that has long since gone its own way and totally missing the point:
Why worry about the BBC and ITV when Sky is the dominant influence in Wales (forget content, worry about marketing) ?
OFCOM proudly presented research that said 80% of Welsh people thought that local news and content was very important, but then only 30% of people watch the content. So, in my book, 30% think that local content is important.
The guy from the local paper commented how a pig with booties was the most popular online story in Wales and he didn't know what to do about this. Then everyone went on about journalistic integrity and training. Blogs, people... It was the most striking example I've seen of denial by old world publishers after the agenda has left the room.
The CEO of Wales' most successful TV production company stated that no commercial broadcast entities would ever survive in Wales - a country of 3m people (byjesus, what would Iceland do with 1/10th of the population), with a native speaking population of 750K. I can hear the guys from Google giggling now. Let's restate the mantra - 'A market of one'.
The sheer naivety on show was breathtaking, but it is not isolated to Wales. People will talk up the future and visions they hear from people like me at seminars and conferences, but the reality is that 'getting it' and buying into this rhetoric is worthless - another 40,000 of the six odd billion people on the planet have 'got it' at the same time. Ideas, visions, are cheap. Understanding what they mean is a bit more significant. Executing and - god forbid - making money - takes a lot more skill.
Everyone in this industry is in denial - the publishers over their targeted audiences, the advertisers over their ridiculous and generalised targets; meanwhile Google are laughing all the way to the bank. It's what I call the 'Google Gap'. The rest of us are in denial.

Time For Us To Own Our Data - And Trade It
The cat and mouse game between Big Internet and Big Government over who tracks you more is probably a neverending saga.
Big Government is peeved that Big Internet is generally better at these things due to better engagement (big clue to Government about what they should do, duh! How about running networks for the communities and societies you govern!)
And the introduction of GDPR legislation in the EU has just resulted in ever more riddiculous 'I agree' popups with no real increased protection of personal privacy or data. It's just an inconvenient addition to a stupid game.
Let's reverse that.
If a browser, website or app wants my data, they have to obtain it from mybot - my own data bank. If they want it for free, they should tell me why. If they want to bid for it, so be it.
The idea that agreeing to ever longer legal documents is the basis for stealing your personal data is absurd and the EU, as ever, has totally screwed up their legislation, even with the best of …
Nations Need To Decide What To Do About Pseudonations
There is one consistent conclusion in history about the balance between massive corporations and nation states, and it is that once the imbalance starts to fall in favour of the corporates, legislation is brought in to bring them back in line. Look at The Hudson Bay, British East Indian, Dutch East Indian, what is now BP, Carnegie, Microsoft.
You may argue that financial service companies, especially JP Morgan and more recently Goldman Sachs have managed to become pseudostates - companies that are 'too big to fail', organisations that take precedent over the citizens of the countries where they operate, but they have nothing on what is happening now. They control money. Big Internet controls all data, and money is just a datum.
Of course, in controlled economies like Russia and China, there is basically no difference between companies and the State. Even France still has massive public control over their private economies. Ridiculously, French and German governments own swathes of Brit…
Video Drives Success On The Internet
I don't necessarily totally agree with the analysis of www.visualcapitalist.com, but they're a very clever bunch and this is food for thought, if nothing more.
What is interesting is that all of the major players in 2018 apart from Paypal and Wikimedia are making plays for the video market. Many of them are video first companies. And it's surprising how many of them are traditional media giants who have finally got to grip with the digital age.
We think that disrupting, in the era of Uber, AirBnB and Deliveroo is easy. But no one has seriously disrupted the TV market. YouTube and Roku have had impacts, but nothing compared to what Apple's iTunes and Spotify and Pandora have done to the music industry.
Yesterday's broadcasters are today's streamers. And notice that neither Hulu nor Netflix make the grade.
The difference between TV and everything else is rights. You can usurp rides, bedrooms and takeaways, but finding a way of usurping rights is much tougher, as…

Obama Faces Bipartisan Opposition on Syria in Congress
Sens. John McCain, shown, and Lindsey Graham said in a joint statement that they 'cannot in good conscience support isolated military strikes in Syria' unless they can 'change the momentum on the battlefield.'

President Barack Obama is pursuing a risky course in putting his Syria policy in the hands of Congress, where skepticism and anxiety in both parties about his drive toward military action have been high.
Opposition to Mr. Obama's call to strike Syria has come from a set of Republicans, many in the libertarian mold, and liberal Democrats who already had formed an alliance out of wariness of the president's drone and national-security surveillance programs, among other uses of executive power.
Centrist opposition has begun to surface, as well. Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), a centrist who often breaks with his party on fiscal issues, said Friday that he didn't see the evidence of an imminent threat to national security that would prompt military action.
House GOP leaders announced Saturday that they would debate and vote on the issue the week of Sept. 9, when Congress is scheduled to return from its summer recess. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) announced later Saturday that the Senate would hold hearings and briefings next week on the resolution and hold a vote on it no later than the week of Sept. 9.
The depth of opposition is uncertain. No solid head count is possible because Congress is in recess, lawmakers are scattered around the country.

Tariffs are here to stay, apparel experts say
Emma Cosgrove Reporter
Allen Lee
The most recent tranche of tariffs has had some effect on the apparel industry, but future rounds are expected to be much more impactful, industry stakeholders said at the Sourcing Journal Summit in New York City Thursday.
"Tranche four is coming. We don't believe it's a question of if. We believe it's a question of when," said Steve Lamar, executive vice president for the American Apparel and Footwear Association. "Tariffs are going to be with us for a while."
"I think we're stuck in this for, I would say, 20 years. I don't see any way out," said Nicole Bivens Collinson, president of international trade and government relations for the Washington, D.C., law firm Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg.
Though the apparel industry has had a much easier time than other industries when it comes to tariffs, there are plenty of apparel and accessories categories within the latest round, which went into effect on Sept. 24 and will increase from 10% to 25% next year.
Footwear, bags and backpacks have already been hit. Leather and fur goods, as well as clothing and accessories made from rubber, plastic and paper, are all included in the Sept. 24 set of tariffs— what the panel called "tranche three."
Collinson emphasized that tariffs on non-apparel items can also have a large effect on the industry. Plastic garment bags, garment hangers, plastic inserts and plastic hang tags often come from China.
With more tariffs inevitable in his view, Lamar added that as time passes, consumers, industry and government stakeholders grow used to them, which is part of the reason they are likely to stick around.
"We talk about them as a hidden tax. Tariffs are a tax on consumers. But it's hidden because people get used to them," said Lamar. "As these tariffs become more of a normal thing, the supply chains get used to it, and the government users of that money get used to it. That's another reason that tariffs will be with us for a long time."
Another reason is that neither side is likely to seek a resolution to the trade war, as Collinson explained. As the U.S. increases tariffs, China will soon increase export tax rebates, so Chinese suppliers are unlikely to take a hit as the retaliations rack up on both sides. China is going to make it "painless" for their companies, said Collinson.

When carrying out mining operations, a rock massif responds to technological impacts in the form of developing strains and fractures. Under certain conditions, this response occurs as dynamic and gas dynamic destructions of rocks with intensive release of energy, which creates threats to security and disrupts a working technology. To substantiate the optimal mining technology, which would be maximum adequate to the specific geological and geomechanical conditions of a deposit development, it is necessary to organize a comprehensive monitoring of geomechanical processes in rock massifs. The paper considers general principles to organize the geomechanical monitoring under conditions of the hierarchically-blocked rock massifs in the gravitational-tectonic field of the natural stress state. The authors give main recommendations for managing geomechanical processes in the rock mass for various mining methods.


With D.P.F., your parts will be processed with the latest technology in fabricating equipment so you can expect consistent part to part accuracy.
Precise part turnout starts with precision cutting. To achieve that goal, we use TRUMPF sheet laser cutting systems with a cutting capacity of up to 80" wide x 156" long x 1" thick with lights out operation. Not only can you expect consistent part repeatability, our TRUMPF "nesting software" calculates the maximum yield of parts per sheet, leaving a minimal amount of scrap.
Parts are formed using a combination of CNC electronic press brakes and precision laser hardened European press braking tooling, sectionalized to work around any part configuration. Forming your parts at the D.P.F. facility will make you the beneficiary of the most advanced press brake technology available today. For assured part accuracy, we use advanced "off-line" part programming before the parts are formed in real life to avoid guesswork and costly part mistakes. We have capacities up to 12' in length and 3/16" thick.

Preview: Pirates v. Platinum Stars
The Soweto Derby is fast approaching and as is the norm with this spectacle, a lot of hype and fanfare will surround the match. However, all talk of this historical rivalry will be put on the back-burner, at least in the interim, as the Mighty Buccaneers face an equally tough assignment against Platinum Stars in the league on Wednesday night.
With the FIFA international break well and truly behind us, clubs are back into the weekly hustle and bustle of the Absa Premiership.
For Pirates, it will be a matter of winning to maintain the pressure at the top of the table while for Stars, who are now under a new coach, are still seeking their first win of the campaign.
A quick glance at both teams
Micho Sredojevic's side has had a fairly good start to the 2017/18 season having registered three victories, three draws and only one defeat so far. However, if there is one area that the Serbian will be looking at improving, it will be up front where the Buccaneers have only been able to score six goals in seven matches.
Dikwena on the other hand have had poor start to the season. Stars are currently bottom of the table, having collected only two points from a possible 21 so far this season.
While Pirates have struggled to find the net with much regularity, Stars have struggled in both areas. Roger Da Sa's side have conceded 10 goals and have only been able to find the net three times.
In terms of head-to-head clashes between the two, Orlando Pirates have enjoyed a lot of success over their PSL counterparts.
Of their last 20 league matches against each other, Pirates have won 11 times and only lost twice; with seven games ending in draws.
During the same period, the Buccaneers went on to score 27 times while Stars have only found the net 15 times.

OR LI P1: Report of Major Thomas T. Eckert, Asst Quartermaster, Asst Superintendent U. S. Mil Telegraph, July 1, 1864 – June 30, 1865
in Part 1 (Serial Number 107)
Report of Major Thomas T. Eckert, Assistant Quartermaster, U. S. Army, Assistant Superintendent U. S. Military Telegraph, of operations July 1, 1864, to June 30, 1865.1
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 9, 1865.
GENERAL: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1865, pursuant to General Orders, No. 39, dated Quartermaster-General's Office, July 1, 1865:
My annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1864, was forwarded to your office December 8, 1864.
I have been on duty during the year as assistant superintendent U. S. Military Telegraph, in charge of all telegraph lines in the Departments of the Potomac, Virginia, North Carolina, and the South. My headquarters have been at Washington, D. C.
At the beginning of the fiscal year the armies under Lieutenant-General Grant were operating in the vicinity of Richmond and Petersburg, and communication was had from Washington via Wilmington, Del., thence along the Eastern Shore to Cherrystone Point, connecting there with cable to Fort Monroe, and thence via Yorktown, Jamestown Island, Surry Court-House, Fort Powhatan, and City Point. The line from Swan Point, opposite Jamestown Island via Surry Court-House, being frequently interrupted by guerrillas, and as a sufficient force could not be spared for its proper protection, it was decided to lay a cable from Jamestown Island to Fort Powhatan, a distance of twenty-two miles by water. This cable was [laid] in July, 1864, and with but few interruptions, occasioned by passing vessels, has worked more successfully than was anticipated. The total number of miles of cable in the line between Washington via Wilmington to City Point, is fifty-two, and this circuit has been worked direct (that is, without repeating stations) and almost continually.
The headquarters of the different corps of the armies were in direct communication with each other and with Lieutenant-General Grant's headquarters by means of the field telegraph. In case of a temporary advance of our troops the field telegraph wires, arranged on reels placed on the backs of mules and supported by small poles prepared for the purpose, were strung out and offices established at the advanced posts almost simultaneously with the advance.
During the month of July, 1864, a rebel force, under General Early, made a raid into Maryland, cutting the telegraph line leading from Washington to Harper's Ferry a short distance from this city, and all the lines connecting Washington with the North at a point near Beltsville, nine miles from Washington, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Field lines were rapidly built to the forts around Washington, and offices opened at Forts Lincoln, Totten, Stevens, Reno, and Corcoran, at Chain Bridge and Arlington. These offices were kept open until the rebel army, had retreated, and were of great service in affording a means of rapid communication between all parts of our line. The military telegraph line to Point Lookout was the only line extending from the city any considerable distance, and for three days all telegrams for the army of Lieutenant-General Grant and for the North were sent to Point Lookout, and thence by dispatch boat to Fort Monroe, from which point they were transmitted to their destination. By this means but little delay was occasioned in reaching the lieutenant-general by telegraph. As our forces gradually advanced toward Richmond by way of Chaffin's farm and to the southwest of Petersburg across the Weldon railroad, the telegraph lines were thrown forward to all of the advanced positions. Until the movement by General Grant, about the latter part of March, the lines remained in about the same condition. Immediately after the evacuation of Richmond the line was extended to that city, and an office opened there early on the morning of April 4. An office was also opened in Petersburg on the same day. The telegraph line on the South Side Railroad was repaired as fast as the troops advanced in pursuit of Lee, communication being had direct from City Point to headquarters of Lieutenant-General Grant each evening. An office was opened at Appomattox Court-House two hours after the surrender of Lee with the army under his command. Measures were at once taken to repair the telegraph lines leading west and south. An office was opened at Lynchburg April 16, and at Danville April 21.
The lines of the Department of the Potomac and Department of Virginia were in charge of A. H. Caldwell, chief operator, and D. Doren, superintendent of construction, both of whom, with the men under
their charge, deserve great credit for the skill and energy displayed in establishing and maintaining communication with the advance of the army. When General Schofield went to North Carolina, in January, a telegraph party under Richard O'Brien, chief operator, was sent with him. A line was already [established] from Morehead City to a short distance beyond New Berne, N. C., connecting the different military posts with district headquarters. As General Schofield advanced, the line was extended from New Berne toward Goldsborough.
To assist in the operation of the force advancing against Wilmington by way of Fort Fisher a line was built from the fort up the Peninsula toward the city, and immediately after the capture was extended into the city, and an office opened there February 23. From there the line was extended to Goldsborough, and thence to Raleigh; the office at the former place being opened March 23, and at the latter place April 14. Mr. O'Brien is deserving of special notice for his energy and perseverance in establishing prompt communication by telegraph in this department, and the men under him for their vigilance and faithful attention to the interests of the service.
After the surrender of General Johnston and the forces under his command arrangements were made to open telegraphic communication with all important points in the South as speedily as possible.
In April a line from Petersburg to Weldon was built, and the line from there to Raleigh and to Goldsborough repaired. The lines from Raleigh to Greensborough and from Danville to Greensborough were also repaired.
In May a new line was built from Alexandria to Fredericksburg, and the railroad line thence to Richmond repaired. During June a line was built from Richmond to Williamsburg, Va., connecting there with the line to Fort Monroe.
By these means communication was had with all important points south, and all telegraph lines placed under direct supervision of the Waough the military telegraph.
For a report of the operations of the military telegraph in Department of the South, I respectfully refer you to the annual report of Captain James R. Gilmore, assistant quartermaster, and assistant superintendent U. S. Military Telegraph, who had charge, under my direction, of the lines in that department.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
THOS. T. ECKERT,
Major, Assistant Quartermaster, and
Assistant Superintendent U. S. Military Telegraph.
Bvt. Major General M. C. MEIGS,
Quartermaster-General U. S. Army, Washington City, D. C.

Brush fire breaks out in front of school in Paradise Hills
Three classrooms were damaged after a fire erupted in front of a school in Paradise Hills.
By: Jermaine Ong
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A brush fire erupted in front of a school in Paradise Hills late Thursday evening, causing damage to some classrooms.
The fire was reported at around 11:15 p.m. outside of Paradise Hills Elementary School, located at 5816 Alleghany Street. It began in some large bushes in front of the campus, and the flames then spread to several classrooms.
At one point, police officers evacuated some nearby homes due to falling ash from the fire.
After knocking down the fire, firefighters discovered a homeless encampment that may have been where the blaze was sparked.
A San Diego Unified School District spokesperson told ABC 10News the classrooms that were burned were used only for storage purposes. The spokesperson added that the fire did not disrupt classes Friday morning.
The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.
