Judds' concert serves as reminder that even when strength fails we can remain determined
A planned weekend away to a country music concert gave Katie Pinke a reminder of support for mental health after seeing and hearing Wynonna Judd on stage who lost her mother and singing partner Naomi Judd to mental illness this year.
Wynonna Judd, sang in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on The Judds: The Final Tour, after the April 30, 2022, death of her mother, Naomi Judd, who lost her battle with mental illness. The Judds sang as a mother/ daughter duo for 39 years on the road with Wynonna also having a solo career. Photo taken Oct. 7, 2022.

Editor's note: If you or someone you know is in crisis, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 to speak with a trained crisis counselor. The number is answered locally.
"I am not the strongest tonight, but I am the most determined," Wynonna Judd said from the stage in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when I attended her Oct. 7, 2022 show, alongside my mom and sister.

In late winter 2022, longtime mother/daughter country music duo Naomi and Wynonna Judd announced The Judds: The Final Tour. By the first week of April, I purchased three tickets for the show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota — 350 miles away but the closest tour date to my rural North Dakota home. I texted my mom and sister and said we have six months to figure this out, but we're going to this concert together.
Naomi Judd died on April 30, 2022, after losing a long battle with mental illness. Like all fans, we were gutted by this loss and grieved for the family losing their mother, grandmother and wife.
Between then and now, we worked through a lot of life as well. But come Oct. 7, we drove to Sioux Falls. As farm women, professionals and moms, we aren't always the strongest, but we are determined, as Wynonna said.
If you live the hustle of farm, business and family life, you understand the need for planning and for putting thoughts that you won't be able to pull off those plans on the back burner, remembering instead that you will try your best. Our trip to the Judds' concert created our first-ever "mother/daughters" weekend and a true celebration for my mom's late October birthday. Her real birthday celebration may come if corn harvest is done in time for my dad to take her out to supper on Oct. 30 instead of her delivering him supper to the combine.
I started writing this column on World Mental Health Day, Oct. 10. The week prior, Oct. 2-8, was Mental Illness Awareness Week, coinciding with the concert. We're acutely aware of mental health and mental illness in our family. I'm not suggesting a country music concert is a solution to mental health struggles. However, reconnecting with my loved ones, carving out time away from usual weekend routines — away from the farm or business — and experiencing downtime is important for my mental health, and for my mom and sister too, I believe.
We made it, together, to where we wanted to be.
Ashley McBryde, Wynonna Judd and Martina McBride perform together in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Oct. 7, 2022. McBride shared she was there to be a support and show love to Wynonna who lost her singing partner and mom, Naomi Judd, to mental illness on April 20, 2022.
Martina McBride opened the concert with a full set of her hits but made it clear she was there to support Wynonna Judd, saying we as audience members could all show love and support to Wynonna by having a great time.
Next Ashley McBryde (not related to Martina) sang alongside Wynonna, as a stand in for Naomi. For a few songs, the three women sang together, including Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter," a nod to Lynn's recent passing and the trailblazing she did in country music.
A few times Wynonna's husband and drummer, Cactus Moser, a longtime musician formerly of the band Highway 101, came out on stage to sing alongside her or just put his hand on her shoulder to support her.
Support comes in numerous forms. I saw many forms on stage at the concert. It looked and felt different than I had planned back in early April, yet showing up was the best thing I could have done, not only for me but also for my mom and sister.
When Wynonna experienced a lift malfunction on the stage at the beginning of the concert she said, "Sometimes it's just too much, but the show must go on."
We all feel the "too much" of life and the push to keep going.
More than a country music concert, resources are available for rural and farm folks to turn to for stress and mental health needs. Agweek's Mikkel Pates recently wrote about the Farm to Farm stress counseling available, through telehealth, primarily by smartphone or computer, with minimal travel for those in agriculture. The counselors in the program have a connection to agriculture. NDSU's Sean Brotherson said in the article that about 40 to 50 clients are utilizing the program per month right now.
Reading the Farm to Farm stress counseling article combined with the concert experience has me reminding myself: You do not need to be the strongest, just keep being determined.

1921-1944: The crushing of the FAUD by Hitler
An account of the decline and crushing of the anarcho-syndicalist trade union the FAUD in Hitler's Germany.
Anarchists against Hitler: The Underground FAUD in the Rhineland
On 5th November 1937, Julius Nolden, a car plant worker from Duisburg was sentenced by the "The People's Court" in Berlin to a ten year prison term for "preparing an act of high treason with aggravating circumstances." Nolden had been at the head of the FAUD (anarcho-syndicalist Free Union of German Workers, part of the International Workers Association) in the Rhineland when that underground Organisation was dismantled by the Gestapo in January 1937. Arrested with him were 88 other male and female anarcho-syndicalists who stood trial in the Rhineland in early 1938.
In 1921 the FAUD in Duisburg had around 5,000 members. After then the numbers fell and by the time Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, only a few tiny groups remained. For example, there were about 25 militants active in the Duisburg area and the Rhineland regional union had around 180-200 dues-paying members.
At its last regional Congress, held in Erfurt in March 1932, the FAUD had decided that, in the event of the Nazis taking power, its federal bureau in Berlin would be shut down and replaced by an underground directorate (based in Erfurt) and that there would have to be a general strike by way of reply. The latter decision proved impracticable: for one thing ' the FAUD right across Germany was decimated by a wave of arrests.
In April-May 1933, Dr. Gerhardt Wartenburg, before being obliged to flee the country, managed to find a replacement for himself as secretary of the FAUD in the person of Emil Zehner, an Erfurt blacksmith. Wartenburg fled to Holland, to Amsterdam, where he was welcomed along with other German émigrés, by the Dutch anarcho-syndicalist, Albert de Jong* Similarly, the International Workers' Association (IWA, the embracing trade unions of a libertarian and revolutionary bent) secretariat was moved to the Netherlands but that did not prevent the organisation's archives from falling into the hands of the Nazis.
In autumn 1933, Emil Zehner was replaced by Ferdinand Gotze, a member of the Saxony Chamber of Labour, then run by Richard Thiede from Leipzig. Meanwhile in the autumn of 1934 Gotze, on the run from the Gestapo, turned up again in the west of Germany where support fro. the Dutch federation of the IWA (the NSV) had made it possible to establish an underground FAUD group. At the same time and in all haste an FAUD secretariat in exile had been set up in Amsterdam.
Duisburg, the liason and agitation centre for the West of Germany
Up until the Nazis took power, labourer Franz Bunged had headed the Duisburg federation. He was interned in the Bogermoor concentration camp without any semblance of a trial in 1933. Bungert was released within a year but found it absolutely impossible to engage in even the least illegal activity because of the strict surveillance under which he was kept His place was taken by Julius Nolden, a Steelworker unemployed at the time. tip to that point, Nolden had been treasurer of the Rhineland Chamber of Labour. Nolden too was arrested by the Gestapo who suspected that his job with an incineration plant was a cover for illegal contacts with other FAUD members.
In June 1933, a little after he was released, Nolden met Karolus Heber, a member of the underground Erfurt directorate, The Object of their meeting was to organise the clandestine escape of compromised colleagues to Holland and to launch a resistance Organisation in the Rhineland and Rhur districts, Nolden and his colleagues laid the groundwork for a network to smuggle people out to Amsterdam and distributed antifascist propaganda. It transpires from the court records that anti-Nazi pamphlets circulating at the time under cover of the title "Eat German fruit and stay healthy', were so popular among miners that they used to greet each other with: "Have you eaten German fruit as well?"
After 1935 and the improving economic position inside the country, it was increasingly difficult to keep an illegal anarcho-syndicalist organisation afloat.
Many comrades had found work again after years of unemployment and casual labour and were reluctant to involve themselves in active resistance. The Gestapo terror did the rest. Furthermore, the support from Amsterdam dried up in 1935.
The outbreak of the Spanish revolution in 1936 gave a boost to anarcho-syndicalist activity inside Germany. Nolden built up his contacts with Duisburg, Dusseldorf and Cologne, organised meetings and launched subscriptions to raise financial support for the Spanish comrades. At the same time, Simon Wehre, from Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen), used the Rhineland Chamber of Labour's network to recruit volunteer technicians prepared to go to Spain. In December 1936, the Gestapo, thanks to a spy planted within, managed to uncover the existence of groups in the cities of Munchengladbach, Dulken and Viersen. At the beginning of 1937, the political police rounded up 50 anarcho-syndicalists from Duisburg, Dusseldorf and Cologne. Nolden was among those arrested. A little later, further arrests were made and these brought the number of members of the outlawed FAUD in Gestapo clutches to 89, It took a year to build the case against them. These male and female comrades were charged with "preparing acts of high treason" and they were brought before the courts in January and February of 1938.
Only six were not convicted for lack of evidence. The rest were sentenced to terms ranging from several months to six years' imprisonment. Julius Nolden was committed to the Luttringhausen prison and remained there until the arrival of the Allies on 19 April 1945. On Pentecost Sunday of 1947 he met in Darmstadt with other comrades to establish the Federation of Libertarian Socialists (anarcho-syndicalists),
Killing of militants
Several comrades were murdered in prison. The Duisburg lathe-operator, Emil Mahnert, according to the testimony of four other inmates, was hurled form two storeys up by a police torturer. The bricklayer, Wilhelm Schmitz died in prison on 29 January 1944 and the circumstances of his death have never been properly clarified. Ernst Holtznagel was dispatched to the notorious 999 punishment battalion, where he was killed. Michael Delissen from Munchengladbach was beaten to death by the Gestapo in December 1936. Anton Rosinke from Dusseldorf was murdered in February 1937.
In August 1946, the Dusseldorf anarcho-syndicalist Ernst Binder wrote: 'Since mass resistance was not feasible in 1933, the finest members of the movement had to squander their energy in a hopeless guerrilla campaign. But if workers will draw from that painful experiment the lesson that only a united defence at the proper time is effective in the struggle against fascism, their sacrifices will not have been in vain."

Does anyone know if Emil Zehner is the same guy who designed the Zehna 6.35mm pistol? The story here says he was a blacksmith. Another source says he was a locksmith. I wonder if he weren't really a gunsmith?

Very sad.
In 1921 the FAUD in Duisburg had around 5,000 members
This is correct and not at the same time. Nowadays Duisburg was subject to two communal area reforms in 1929 and the late seventieth. The Duisburg of 1921 was only a small portion of what the city is today and did not include syndcalist centres such as Marxloh, Hamborn, Hochemmerich then. If you count the FAUD membership from 1921 in the towns that today make the city of Duisburg, the membership was not 5.000 but 23.000 to 26.000. Nearly one in five of the overall FAUD membership in 1921 thus lived in what is now the city of Duisburg, most of them miners and workers in the steel industry. There are estimates that up to 40% of the membership of the "Red Ruhr army" in march 1920 was made of FAUD members.

Sailing past three of the tallest peaks, and just over the outstretched arms of the grasping demons, they reached the ground and landed with a sudden jolt.
With the princesses still on his back, he galloped down the rocky trail—and not a moment too soon. For, pounding down the mountainside, in a cloud of clinging dust and a chorus of chilling shrieks, came all the loathsome creatures who choose to live in Ignorance and who had waited so very impatiently.
Thick black clouds hung heavily overhead as they fled through the darkness, and Milo, looking back for just a moment, could see the awful shapes coming closer and closer. Just to the left, and not very far away, werethe Triple Demons of Compromise—one tall and thin, one short and fat, and the third exactly like the other two. As always, they moved in ominous circles, for if one said "here," the other said "there," and the third agreed perfectly with both of them. And, since they always settled their differences by doing what none of them really wanted, they rarely got anywhere at all— and neither did anyone they met.
Jumping clumsily from boulder to boulder and catching hold with his cruel, curving claws was the Horrible Hopping Hindsight, a most unpleasant fellow whose eyes were in the rear and whose rear was out in front.
And, most terrifying of all, directly behind, inching along like giant soft-shelled snails, with blazing eyes and wet anxious mouths, came the Gorgons of Hate and Malice, leaving a trail of slime behind them and moving much more quickly than you'd think.
Down from the heights they raced, the Humbug with one hand on his hat and the other flailing desperately in the air, Milo running as he never ran before, and the demons just a little bit faster than that.
From off on the right, his heavy bulbous body lurching dangerously on the spindly legs which barely supported him, came the Overbearing Know-it-all, talking continuously. A dismal demon who was mostly mouth, he was ready at a moment's notice to offer misinformation on any subject. And, while he often tumbled heavily, it was never he who was hurt, but, rather, the unfortunate person on whom he fell.
Next to him, but just a little behind, came the Gross Exaggeration, whose grotesque features and thoroughly unpleasant manners were hideous to see, and whose rows of wicked teeth were made only to mangle the truth.
They hunted together, and were bad luck to anyone they caught.
Riding along on the back of anyone who'd carry him was the Threadbare Excuse, a small, pathetic figure whose clothes were worn and tattered and who mumbled the same things again and again, in a low but piercing voice: "Well, I've been sick—but the page was torn out—I missed the bus—but no one else did it—well, I've been sick—but the page was torn out—I missed the bus—but no one else did it." He looked quite harmless and friendly but, once he grabbed on, he almost never let go.
Closer and closer they came, bumping and jolting each other, clawing and snorting in their eager fury.
Tock staggered along bravely with Rhyme and Reason, Milo's lungs now felt ready to burst as he stumbled down the trail, and the Humbug was slowly falling behind. Gradually the path grew broader and more flat as it reached the bottom of the mountain and turned toward Wisdom. Ahead lay light and safety—but perhaps just a bit too far away.
And down came the demons from everywhere, frenzied creatures of darkness, lurching wildly toward their prey.
From off in the rear, the Terrible Trivium and the wobbly Gelatinous Giant urged them on with glee.
And pounding forward with a rush came the ugly Dilemma, snorting steam and looking intently for someone to catch on the ends of his long pointed horns, while his hoofs bit eagerly at the ground.
The exhausted Humbug swayed and tottered on his rubbery legs, a look of longing on his anguished face. "I don't think I can " he gasped, as a jagged slash of lightning ripped open the sky and the thunder stole his words.
And suddenly stopped, as if frozen in mid-air, unable to move, staring ahead in terror.
Milo slowly raised his weary head, and there in the horizon, for as far as the eye could see, stood the massed armies of Wisdom, the sun glistening from their swords and shields, and their bright banners slapping proudly at the breeze.
For a moment everything was silent. Then a thousand trumpets sounded—then a thousand more—and, like an ocean wave, the long line of horsemen advanced, slowly at first, then faster and faster, until with a gallop and a shout, which was music to Milo's ears, they swept forward toward the horrified demons.
There in the lead was King Azaz, his dazzling armor embossed with every letter in the alphabet, and, with him, the Mathemagician, brandishing a freshly sharpened staff. From his tiny wagon, Dr. Dischord hurled explosion after explosion, to the delight of the Soundkeeper, while the busy DYNNE collected them almost at once. And, in honor of the occasion, Chroma the Great led his orchestra in a stirring display of patriotic colors. Everyone Milo had met during his journey had come to help—the men of the market place, the miners of Digitopolis, and all the good people from the valley and the forest.
The Spelling Bee buzzed excitedly overhead shouting, "Charge—c-h-a-r-g-e—charge—c-h-a-r-g-e." Canby, who, as everyone knew, was as cowardly as can be, came all the way from Conclusions to show that he was also as brave. And even Officer Shrift, mounted proudly on a long, low dachshund, galloped grimly along.
Cringing with fear, the monsters of Ignorance turned in flight and, with anguished cries too horrible ever to forget, returned to the damp, dark places from which they came. The Humbug sighed with relief, and Milo and the princesses prepared to greet the victorious army.
"Well done," stated the Duke of Definition, dismounting and grasping Milo's hand warmly.
"Fine job," seconded the Minister of Meaning.
"Good Work," added the Count of Connotation.
"Congratulations," proposed the Earl of Essence.
And, since that's exactly what everyone felt like doing, that's exactly what everyone did.
the shouting had subsided, but, before he could finish, they had unrolled an enormous scroll.
"Reign once more in Wisdom."The two princesses bowed gratefully and warmly kissed their brothers, and they all agreed that a very fine thing had happened.
Cheer after cheer filled the air, and even the bug seemed a bit embarrassed at having so much attention paid to him.
The five cabinet members then rolled up the large parchment and, with many bows and flourishes, retired.
Swift horsemen carried the news to every corner of the kingdom, and, as the parade slowly wound its way through the countryside, crowds of people gathered to cheer it along. Garlands of flowers hung from every house and shop and carpeted the streets. Even the air shimmered with excitement, and shutters closed for many years were thrown open to let the brilliant sunlight shine where it hadn't shone in so long.
proudly in the royal carriage with Azaz, the Mathemagician, and the two princesses; and the parade stretched for miles in both directions.
As the cheering continued, Rhyme leaned forward and touched Milo gently on the arm.
"They're shouting for you," she said with a smile.
"Completely impossible," said the Mathemagician, looking at the king. "Do you mean " stammered the bug, who suddenly felt a bit faint.
And for the remainder of the ride Milo didn't utter a sound.
Finally, when they'd reached a broad, flat plain midway between Dictionopolis and Digitopolis, somewhat to the right of the Valley of Sound and a little to the left of the Forest of Sight, the long line of carriages and horsemen stopped, and the great carnival began.
Gaily striped tents and pavilions sprang up everywhere as the workmen scurried about like ants. Withinminutes there were racecourses and grandstands, side shows and refreshment booths, gaming fields, Ferris wheels, banners, bunting, and bedlam, almost without pause.
The Mathemagician provided a continuous display of brilliant fireworks made up of exploding numbers which multiplied and divided with breath-taking results—the colors, of course, being supplied by Chroma and the noise by a deliriously happy Dr. Dischord. Thanks to the Soundkeeper, there was music and laughter and, for very brief moments, even a little silence.
Alec Bings set up an enormous telescope and invited everyone to see the other side of the moon, and the Humbug wandered through the crowd accepting congratulations and recounting in great detail his brave exploits, most of which gained immeasurably in the telling.
And each evening, just at sunset, a royal banquet was held. There was everything imaginable to eat. King Azaz had ordered a special supply of delicious words in all flavors and, for those who liked exotic foods, in all languages, too. The Mathemagician had provided innumerable platters of division dumplings, which Milo was very careful to avoid, for, no matter how many you ate, when you finished there was more on your plate than when you began.
And, of course, following the meal came songs, epic poems, and speeches in praise of the princesses and the three gallant adventurers who had rescued them. King Azaz and the Mathemagician pledged that every year at this same time they would lead their armies to the mountains of Ignorance until not one demon remained, and everyone agreed that no finer carnival for no finer reason had ever been held in Wisdom.
But even things as fine as all that must end sometime, and late on the afternoon of the third day the tents were struck, the pavilions were folded, and everything was packed ready to leave.
"It's time to go now," said Reason, "for there is much to do." And, as she spoke, Milo suddenly remembered his home. He wanted very much to go back, yet somehow he could not bear the thought of leaving."And so you must say good-by," said Rhyme, patting him gently on the cheek.
around slowly at all the friends he'd made, and he looked very hard so as not to forget any of them for even an instant. But mostly he looked at Tock and the Humbug, with whom he had shared so much—the perils, the dangers, the fears, and, best of all, the victory.
Never had anyone had two more steadfast companions.
"Can't you both come with me?" he asked, knowing the answer as he said it.
"And they do need a watchdog here," barked Tock sadly.
Milo embraced the bug who, in his most typical fashion, was heard to mumble gruffly, "BAH," but whose damp eyes told quite a different story. Then the boy threw his arms around Tock's neck and, for just a moment, held on very tightly.
"Thank you for everything you've taught me," said Milo to everybody as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"And thank you for what you've taught us," said the king—and, as he clapped his hands, the little car was brought forward, polished like new.
Milo got in and, with one last look, started down the road, with everyone waving him on.
"And numbers," added the Mathemagician forcefully.
"Surely you don't think numbers are as important as words?" he heard Azaz shout from the distance.
"Oh dear," thought Milo; "I do hope they don't start it all again." And in a moment they had faded from sight as the road dipped, turned, and headed for home.


I made this jacket a year ago, as my first real attempt at historical clothing. I have tried it a bit previously but never bothered to read up on historical techniques and silhouettes so the result is really nothing I'm proud of. But with this jacket I made a new attempt and this time i actually read and reaserched a lot before starting.
It was when I bought the book "Costume close-up" by Baumgarten it all started for me. In that book I found this wonderful picture of a flowery jacket worn with a quilted petticoat. The whole silhouette was so beautiful and I fell in love with the little peplum and the wounderful simplicity of the outfit.
I immediately went to the fabric store and picked out some printed cotton. The little pink and violet flowers seemed to be made for some 18th century garnment. I also bought some ivory cotton for the linning, and some violet ribbon for the front lacing.
I enlarged the pattern from the book with the help of my computer and printer. I adjusted the pattern pieces after my measurments and started to cut out the fabric.
I sewed it all up by machine, and put the gromets in the front for lacing. It wasn't until I finished the jacket I realised I had made it two inches too small. I've been too eager to get started to bother to make a mock-up and never stopped to test it while sewing. Even though it didn't fit me I absolutely loved the jacket and decided to give it to my smaller little sister.
I've never gotten around to give it away and now, a year later, the jacket fits me like a glove.
By now I've also found a couple of things to change on it, like the gromets (I'm planning to cover them in thread) and I would have liked it to be completely hand-sewn. But anyhow I'm still really proud of it.
And here are som pictures of the jacket in action – paired with a green petticoat I will tell you about next time.

According to WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum, WhatsApp is now larger than Twitter by monthly active users. Without revealing an exact number, he just said the app has over 200 million users (the last reported amount of monthly active users for Twitter.) WhatsApp is a cross-platform instant messaging application that allows users to send text, image, video and audio messages; it's hugely popular as a way to stay in touch while traveling overseas.
While onstage at an AllThingsD conference in New York, Koum also announced that WhatsApp now sees an average of 8 billion inbound and 12 million outbound messages per day.
While WhatsApp and Twitter are very different platforms, the comparison does provide possible support for recent theories that younger users are turning to newer apps (like WhatsApp), while older social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter) are falling out of favor with this demographic.
Previously free, WhatsApp is now charging $0.99 per year – a change that has not yet caused "any drop off in user numbers or engagement,"reports TechCrunch.

From football to sake
Livedoor News covers an episode of Fuji TV PRIME news alpha where former Japanese national football team member Hidetoshi Nakata was interviewed and asked about his involvement with sake.
After hanging up his boots Nakata became a representative for the Japan Craft Sake Company, taking on a new challenge to communicate the wonders of sake to the world.
Asked how he became interested in sake, Nakata confesses that he preferred wine when he lived in Italy. He saw non-Japanese players who owned their own wineries, and thought that was cool, but also wondered if it would be interesting to find out more about sake the same way others had learned about wine.
Since then, he's visited over 300 kura in Japan. He became obsessed with finding a way to get the same taste when sake was sent overseas as you did at the brewery. He felt a sense of impending crisis about how it was being drunk abroad.
Consumption of sake outside Japan is rising, with exports doubling in the last decade and new records set every year for the last eight. Despite this seemingly good news, whenever Nakata drank sake abroad he almost never found that it had been handled properly. Stressing that sake is sensitive and delicate, Nakata notes that temperature changes can cause its flavour to change almost immediately and so it needs to be looked after.
That's what prompted him to start his current business – the world's first sake cellar capable of storage at -5°C. Not that he recommends drinking it at that temperature, it just keeps the sake from deteriorating.
Nakata says he has no intention of making sake himself, but rather sees his role as creating an environment where it can be enjoyed. In particular, creating the conditions for bars and restaurants worldwide to have a -5°C sake cellar in the same way they now have wine fridges.
Asked about his strategy for promoting sake overseas, he says that the sake is good enough by itself, the problem is that it's no longer in good shape by the time it gets where it's going. That's what he aims to change.

Doctors Lure Patients with Online Deals
Coupons for discounted services offered on sites like Groupon serve some doctors as marketing tools, especially for younger patients.
by Ankita Rao, Kaiser Health News January 11, 2013
When Brett Geranen needed an eye exam he turned to the website you might choose to find cheap Thai food or a massage: Living Social.
Geranen, 41, had moved away from his regular optometrist and found a practice offering a $55 deal for an exam and credit toward eyewear. The Washington, D.C., resident said he'll most likely go back to the same optometrist for his next exam.
While most health-related deals on sites like Groupon and Living Social are for cosmetic procedures like Botox, providers also offer everyday medical, vision, and dental services.
Health and medical deals make up about 5% to 10% of the online coupon industry, according to Unaiz Kabani, data product manager at Yipit, a service that aggregates companies' daily deals. Groupon, the market leader, had about 115 million subscribers in 2011, which he says are mostly 20- to 40-year-old, college-educated women. Living Social says it has about 70 million members.
Health providers often see good results after an initial offer, but the patients who come in for treatment frequently don't return.
"When you're looking at a demographic that's young, where some may have insurance, some may not, they're more inclined to be episodic," said James Doulgeris, a healthcare business and marketing strategist at HCP Associates.
He said coupons are often the cheapest option for healthy people who may not need follow-up appointments. Even for those enrolled in a private insurance plan, the cost of using an online deal or a retail clinic may be less than seeing an in-network physician.
Dr. John Muney, head of AMG Medical Group, based in New York, said the company's Groupon deals brought more than 1,000 people to AMG's six clinics for cholesterol and blood sugar testing, and regular checkups, over the course of a year. Most of the new patients, he said, were low-income, uninsured, or on high-deductible plans.
About 5% of Groupon customers signed up for a membership with AMG after redeeming their coupons – which Muney said is an underwhelming, but not surprising number.
"We use this to fill in the gaps," Muney said, "and bring awareness to the programs."
Muney has used Groupon to offer several, mostly identical deals throughout the past year -- a common strategy. About 60% of all businesses offering online coupons make repeated offers, said Kabani.
Some medical providers have offered deals on different sites, with varying results. In May, Washington, D.C.-based Berkshire Family Dental offered a deal through Living Social, and in October tried something similar on Groupon.
Office manager Vera Eid noticed that the customers coming in with either coupon were "younger, more computer savvy" and often just needed a routine checkup. But Living Social produced significantly better results – bringing in 150 patients, compared with fewer than 50 patients so far from Groupon.
Eid said few of the patients sought continued treatment. The ones who did were mostly looking for other deals or specials.
Doulgeris said better marketing and service could help providers turn their clients into loyal patients. He suggested personalized customer service, follow-up calls, and special discounts to entice coupon buyers to return. He also urged doctors to tailor their practices to the unique demographic of younger patients.
"If you use this as a strategy to bolster your private insurance mix, I think you're going to be serving your practice very well," Doulgeris said.

Faggot, often shortened to fag, is a usually pejorative term used to refer to gay men. In American youth culture around the turn of the 21st century, its meaning extended as a broader reaching insult more related to masculinity and group power structure.

The usage of fag and faggot has spread from the United States to varying extents elsewhere in the English-speaking world (especially the UK) through mass culture, including film, music, and the internet.

Etymology
The American slang term is first recorded in 1914, the shortened form fag shortly after, in 1921. Its immediate origin is unclear, but it is based on the word for "bundle of sticks", ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis.

The word faggot has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women, and reference to homosexuality may derive from this, as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer," applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meager living by gathering and selling firewood. It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word baggage as a pejorative term for old people in general).

An alternative possibility is that the word is connected with the practice of fagging in British public schools, in which younger boys performed (potentially sexual) duties for older boys, although the word faggot was never used in this context, only fag. There is a reference to the word faggot being used in 17th-century Britain to refer to a "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster," but there is no known connection with the word's modern usage.

The Yiddish word faygele, lit. "little bird," itself a pejorative term for a gay man, has been claimed by some to be related to the American usage. The similarity between the two words makes it possible that it might at least have had a reinforcing effect.

There is an urban legend, called an "oft-reprinted assertion" by Douglas Harper, that the modern slang meaning developed from the standard meaning of faggot as "bundle of sticks for burning" with regard to burning at the stake. This is unsubstantiated; the emergence of the slang term in 20th-century American English is unrelated to historical death penalties for homosexuality.

Use

Early printed use
The word faggot with regard to homosexuality was used as early as 1914, in Jackson and Hellyer's A Vocabulary of Criminal Slang, with Some Examples of Common Usages which listed the following example under the word, drag:

"All the fagots (sissies) will be dressed in drag at the ball tonight."

The word fag is used in 1923 in The Hobo: The Sociology of the Homeless Man by Nels Anderson:

"Fairies or Fags are men or boys who exploit sex for profit."

The word was also used by a character in Claude McKay's 1928 novel Home to Harlem, indicating that it was used during the Harlem Renaissance. Specifically, one character says that he cannot understand:

"a bulldyking woman and a faggoty man"

Use in the United Kingdom
Originally confined to the United States, the use of the words fag and faggot as epithets for gay men has spread elsewhere in the English-speaking world, but the extent to which they are used in this sense has varied outside the context of imported US popular culture. In the UK and some other countries, the words queer, homo, and poof are much more common as pejorative terms for gay men. The word faggot in the UK also refers to a kind of meatball. In British English, 'fag' is common slang for a cigarette, sometimes also used to describe a tedious task.

Use of fag and faggot as the term for an effeminate man has become understood as an Americanism in British English, primarily due to entertainment media use in films and television series imported from the United States. When Labour MP Bob Marshall-Andrews was overheard supposedly using the word in a bad-tempered informal exchange with a straight colleague in the House of Commons lobby in November 2005, it was considered to be homophobic abuse.

Usage by youth
Through ethnographic research in a high school setting, CJ Pascoe examined how American high school boys used the term fag during the early 2000s. Pascoe's work, culminating in a 2007 book titled Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School, suggested that these boys used the fag epithet as a way to assert their own masculinity, by claiming that another boy is less masculine; this, in their eyes, makes him a fag, and its usage suggests that it is less about sexual orientation and more about gender. One-third of the boys in Pascoe's study claimed that they would not call a homosexual peer a fag, leading Pascoe to argue that fag is used in this setting as a form of gender policing, in which boys ridicule others who fail at masculinity, heterosexual prowess, or strength. Because boys do not want to be labeled a fag, they hurl the insult at another person. Pascoe felt the fag identity does not constitute a static identity attached to the boy receiving the insult. Rather, fag is a fluid identity that boys strive to avoid, often by naming another as the fag. As Pascoe asserts, "[the fag identity] is fluid enough that boys police their behaviors out of fear of having the fag identity permanently adhere and definitive enough so that boys recognize a fag behavior and strive to avoid it."

Use in popular culture

There is a long history of using both fag and faggot in popular culture, usually in reference to gay and bisexual men. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's 1995 documentary The Celluloid Closet, based on Vito Russo's book of the same name notes the use of fag and faggot throughout Hollywood film history. The Think Before You Speak campaign has sought to stop fag and gay being used as generic insults.

Theater
In 1973 a Broadway musical called The Faggot was praised by critics but condemned by gay liberation proponents.

Books and magazines
Larry Kramer's 1978 novel Faggots discusses the gay community including the use of the word within and towards the community. A description of Pamela Moore's 1956 novel Chocolates for Breakfast in the Warner Books 1982 culture guide The Catalog of Cool reads: "Her fifteen-year-old heroine first balls a fag actor in H'wood, then makes it with some hermetic, filthy rich, hotel-bound Italian count."

In its November 2002 issue, the New Oxford Review, a Catholic magazine, caused controversy by its use and defense of the word in an editorial. During the correspondence between the editors and a gay reader, the editors clarified that they would only use the word to describe a "practicing homosexual." They defended the use of the word, saying that it was important to preserve the social stigma of gays and lesbians.

Music

Arlo Guthrie uses the epithet in his 1967 signature song "Alice's Restaurant," noting it as a potential way to avoid military induction at the time (Guthrie had removed the word from live performances of the song in the 21st century).

Phil Ochs uses the epithet in his 1969 song "I Kill Therefore I Am". In the song, which is written from the point of view of a hateful police officer, he uses the slur to describe the student activists who protested the Vietnam War.

The Dire Straits 1985 song "Money for Nothing" makes notable use of the epithet faggot, although the lines containing it are often excised for radio play, and in live performances by singer/songwriter Mark Knopfler. The song was banned from airplay by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council in 2011 but the ban was reversed later the same year.

In 1989, Sebastian Bach, lead singer of the band Skid Row, created a controversy when he wore a T-shirt with the parody slogan "AIDS: Kills Fags Dead".

The 2001 song "American Triangle" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin uses the phrase God hates fags where we come from. The song is about Matthew Shepard, a Wyoming man who was murdered in 1998 for being gay.

The 2007 song "The Bible Says," which includes the line "God Hates Fags" (sometimes used as an alternate title) caused considerable controversy when it was published on various websites. Apparently an anti-gay song written and performed by an ex-gay pastor "Donnie Davies," it was accompanied by the realistic Love God's Way website about his "ministry." Debate ensued about whether Donnie Davies and the outrageous song, which included a few double entendres, were for real, and whether the lyrics could ever be considered acceptable even in satire. Donnie Davies was revealed in 2007 to be a character played by an actor. Some gay rights advocates acknowledge that as a spoof it is humorous, but claim the message behind it is still as malicious as someone who seriously possessed the opinion.

In December 2007, BBC Radio 1 caused controversy by editing the word faggot from their broadcasts of the Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues song "Fairytale of New York," deeming it potentially homophobic; however, the edit did not extend to other BBC stations, such as BBC Radio 2. Following widespread criticism and pressure from listeners, the decision was reversed and the original unedited version of the song was reinstated, with clarification from Andy Parfitt, the station controller, that in the context of the song the lyrics had no "negative intent."

Patty Griffin uses the word faggot in her song "Tony", about a classmate of hers from high school who committed suicide.

McCafferty uses the word faggot in the song "Trees", about lead singer Nick Hartkop's struggles coming to terms with his sexuality.

Eminem used the word in numerous works, such as "Rap God", along with an inflammatory lyric containing the term being removed from "Fall".

In 2012, Macklemore used the word faggot in the song "Same Love" in reference to the use of the homophobic slur in cyberbullying.

Television
In November 2009, the South Park episode "The F Word" dealt with the overuse of the word fag. The boys use the word to insult a group of bikers, saying that their loud motorcycles ruined everyone else's nice time. Officials from the dictionary, including Emmanuel Lewis attend in the town and agree that the meaning of the word should no longer insult homosexuals but instead be used to describe loud motorcycle riders who ruin others' nice times. The episode is a satire on the taboo of using the term, as it goes against political correctness.

Reclamation
Some LGBTQ+ people have reclaimed the term as a neutral or positive term of self-description.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Discovery And Meaning Pdf

The Hebrew Bible is the cornerstone of the Jewish people and this fundamental text has left its imprint on Christianity and Islam. The exhibition at the Shrine of the Book Complex represents a journey through time, which, adopting a scholarly-historical approach, traces the evolution of the Book of Books.
6 Things You May Not Know About the Dead Sea Scrolls

What is the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls? Why are they so important to our understanding of the Bible, Christianity and Judaism? Hershel Shanks shares the dramatic story of the discovery of the most intriguing Biblical archaeology find of the 20th century, the surprising tale of how they were acquired, and, most importantly, how they illuminate our understanding of the codification of the Hebrew Bible.
Since they were first discovered in the caves at Qumran in , the Dead Sea Scrolls have aroused more fascination--and more controversy--than perhaps any other archaeological find. They appear to have been hidden in the Judean desert by the Essenes, a Jewish sect that existed around the time of Jesus, and they continue to inspire veneration and conspiracy theories to this day. John Collins tells the story of the bitter conflicts that have swirled around the scrolls since their startling discovery, and sheds light on their true significance for Jewish and Christian history. Collins vividly recounts how a Bedouin shepherd went searching for a lost goat and found the scrolls instead. He offers insight into debates over whether the Essenes were an authentic Jewish sect and explains why such questions are critical to our understanding of ancient Judaism and to Jewish identity.
In late or early , Bedouin teenagers were tending their goats and sheep near the ancient settlement of Qumran, located on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in what is now known as the West Bank. One of the young shepherds tossed a rock into an opening on the side of a cliff and was surprised to hear a shattering sound. He and his companions later entered the cave and found a collection of large clay jars, seven of which contained leather and papyrus scrolls. An antiquities dealer bought the cache, which ultimately ended up in the hands of various scholars who estimated that the texts were upwards of 2, years old. After word of the discovery got out, Bedouin treasure hunters and archaeologists unearthed tens of thousands of additional scroll fragments from 10 nearby caves; together they make up between and manuscripts. When the Arab-Israeli War broke out in , Samuel traveled to the United States and unsuccessfully offered them to a number of universities, including Yale. This would be an ideal gift to an educational or religious institution by an individual or group.
Other Jewish diaspora languages. Almost all of the Dead Sea Scrolls are held by the state of Israel in the Shrine of the Book on the grounds of the Israel Museum , but ownership of the scrolls is disputed by Jordan and Palestine [3]. Many thousands of written fragments have been discovered in the Dead Sea area. They represent the remnants of larger manuscripts damaged by natural causes or through human interference, with the vast majority holding only small scraps of text. However, a small number of well-preserved, almost intact manuscripts have survived — fewer than a dozen among those from the Qumran Caves. Biblical texts older than the Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered only in two silver scroll-shaped amulets containing portions of the Priestly Blessing from the Book of Numbers , excavated in Jerusalem at Ketef Hinnom and dated c.
When Bedouin shepherds discovered the first of the Dead Sea Scrolls in , one of the most fascinating mysteries of ancient history was exposed. Embedded in the manuscripts eventually uncovered were questions about everything from the Qumran community that produced the scrolls to their impact on our understanding of biblical studies. Why were the scrolls preserved in caves? What do they reveal about such contemporary events as the life and death of Jesus, the rise of Talmudic Judaism, and the flourishing of the Essenes, Pharisees, and other Second Temple groups? Featuring articles by an international community of distinguished scholars, the Encyclopedia is the definitive account of what we know about the scrolls—their history, relevance, meaning, and the controversies that surround them.

If you experience dental pain of any kind, call Mt. Pleasant dentist, Robert C. Sikes. Quick action relieves pain and saves teeth.
A throbbing tooth, a swollen jaw–don't ignore dental pain. Dr. Robert C. Sikes, Mt. Pleasant emergency dentist, wants to hear from you right away so he can recommend appropriate treatment.
What causes dental pain, and what you should do?
Several conditions cause dental pain, and none should be ignored. Left unattended, tooth injury, a lost filling or cavity or dental abscess may produce a more elaborate and costly repair later on. Here are a few of the painful circumstances warranting immediate attention by Dr. Sikes.
A broken tooth from a fall or blow to the face during sports usually causes pain, especially if the soft tissues of the face and mouth are injured, too. Rinse the tooth with warm water, and save the pieces in a clean cloth, plastic bag or small container of milk. Call Dr. Sikes for advice on what to do next.
An avulsed or knocked out tooth hurts and bleeds. If possible put the tooth back in the socket, and hold it in place while driving to see Dr. Sikes. Rinse it with warm water, but do not remove any loose connective tissue. If placement is not possible, put the tooth in a clean cloth, bag or other container with milk or the patient's saliva. The American Dental Association says that quick action and transport to your Mt. Pleasant emergency dentist will likely save the tooth.
A toothache, accompanied by jaw swelling, could indicate infection from a deep cavity or even lost filling or crown.
Call Dr. Sikes for treatment as soon as possible. Use a cold compress on the swollen area, and take over the counter ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation.
Impacted wisdom teeth, third molars not fully erupted or coming in crooked, cause substantial discomfort, bad breath and swollen, infected gums (pericoronitis). Dr. Sikes might prescribe antibiotics for the infection and also incise the gum flap back from the tooth.
Tooth sensitivity from a loose filling, hot or cold foods, exposed roots, thin enamel or cavity gets quite painful. The filling or cavity need dental attention. The other causes of sensitivity may be alleviated with toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth. When in doubt as to the origin of this dental pain, call your Mt. Pleasant dentist.
A laceration to the tongue, cheek, or gums bleeds profusely. Apply direct pressure with sterile gauze, and get to the local emergency room.
At the first sign of dental discomfort, contact Dr. Robert C. Sikes and his staff. Their primary concern is your well-being. Additionally, to keep dental pain away for the long term, be sure to schedule your 6-month exam and cleaning. Preventive dental services, combined with brushing, flossing and a healthy diet defend your oral health and keep you smiling. Contact this experienced Mt. Pleasant emergency dentist today.

Q: How can I check to see if a specific key is pressed as a boolean? I know that I can have a key press event like this-
private void FormMain_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e){
    //Pressing Control + N
    if(e.KeyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.N)) MessageBox.Show("e");
}

But is there any way I can check to see whether the space key is pressed in a different function? I know that I can check to see if the CTRL key is being pressed, like this
if (Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Shift)

I tried the following code, but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it like this?

How about this advice for when to plant Rosella seed from GardenDrum's Arno King?
"I sow seeds directly in the vegetable patch in my subtropical garden when the coconut oil in my kitchen goes from a solid to a liquid – generally around early August (February in the northern hemisphere). In warmer areas sowing would be earlier, while in warm temperate areas sowing would be later, generally around September (March in the northern hemisphere)."
To see more on this article titled 'Jam of the Tropics, Growing and Using Rosella' please head to this link.
Recently a member asked about growing Rosellas on the Coffs Coast, I have never grown them (just know that ants really adore their fruit) so this article fits the bill perfectly.

Products Sauces, Vinegar, Balsamic Vinegar, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Balsamic Vinegar Glaze, Flavored Vinegar, Condiments
Monari Federzoni SpA
One family's love for the land and a unique tradition are the secrets behind the most precious of balsamic vinegars. One hundred years guided by a true passion for high quality flavours. The high quality of the true Balsamic Vinegar of Modena from Monari Federzoni.
100 years, 4 generations, just one secret: the real Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
The story of Monari Federzoni balsamic vinegar began in a loft above the grocery store of Mrs. Monari Federzoni in the heart of Modena The first company to request and obtain a Ministry license in 1912 to manufacture and sell Balsamic Vinegar of Modena was Monari Federzoni: this leadership is still testament to its ancient family tradition. Today, almost 100 years and 4 generations later, Monari Federzoni is known and appreciated in over 50 countries worldwide, but the spirit of its products remains the same as it has always been: the love of one family for quality balsamic vinegar in the most authentic tradition of Modena.
We'll share our secret with you.
Wine vinegar and cooked must have always been the condiments par excellence of Italian cuisine. The fermentation and ageing of these ingredients are the crucial elements in Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, a characteristic product of the Modena and Reggio Emilia areas.
Our product is made from the must of grapes typical of Emilia Romagna that is Lambrusco, Trebbiano, Ancellotta, Albana, Sangiovese, Fortana, Montuni, left to ferment naturally with wine in hardwood vats and casks.
The process that creates balsamic slowly follows the natural ranges of temperature of an area with very hot, humid summers and long, cold winters. Through constant contact with the wood and the natural progress of fermentation, a special alchemy helps intense aromas to develop, creating a characteristically soft and pleasantly full flavour.
This is the unique formula behind an exclusive product that is known worldwide today. Monari Federzoni processes and ages this formula in wood casks and vats with a total capacity of 1,500,000 litres used for the product matured less than 3 years, and in over 2,000 barriques and small casks with a total capacity of 900,000 liters used for the product aged for more than 3 years.
The company has a charming location in the splendid countryside around Modena. It is here, thanks to 74 hectares of vineyards, that Monari Federzoni produces the grapes for the finest products. The entire production process takes place here in close symbiosis with the land – from growing and harvesting to the cooking of the must in open vats. To ensure the best possible quality of raw materials and to closely monitor the entire fermentation process, Monari Federzoni locally produces all its wine vinegar using acetifiers and submerged-cap fermentation which yield a high-acidity vinegar that preserves and enhances the aromas of a carefully selected wine. All this care and devotion – along with 5 types of filtration and constant monitoring of chemical composition, flavour, fragrance and appearance – offer a guarantee of constant quality and give Monari Federzoni balsamic vinegar its unique flavour.
Four bottling lines, distinguished by speed and automation, meet every consumption requirement producing a range of a good 175 items. Some of the most unique among them include production of Organic and Kosher Balsamic Vinegar. The incredible versatility of the range is bolstered by a production capacity of a 80,000 bottles a day as well as a fully-computerized production cycle for all components. It is this focus on the highest possible quality that has made it possible for Monari Federzoni to earn the leading Certifications of Quality System: BRC and IFS (Higher Grade).
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and PGI certification
In Brussels in June 2009 the PDO and PGI Committee of the European Union awarded the prestigious Protected Geographical Indication label to Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. It's a historic award which recognizes the importance of a product that epitomizes the reputation enjoyed by Italian produce all over the world, and is one of the most emblematic products of the city of Modena.
The term Protected Geographical Indication, better known as PGI, is a quality certification awarded to food and agricultural products whose quality, reputation or other distinguishing characteristics depend on their geographical origin, and which are produced, processed and/or made in a certain geographical area. For a product to obtain PGI certification, at least one phase of its production process must take place within a designated area. PGI-certified producers must observe stringent rules in the making of their products, and respect for these rules is enforced by a specially-appointed supervisory body.
Since its production processes are in compliance with new PGI requirements, the Monari Federzoni brand is also covered by the PGI label. The award is of particular value to producers like Monari Federzoni who have always placed a premium on the quality and authenticity of their products.

Q: SQL select command SUM across 3 related tables I've changed my DB structure to make it more future proof. Now I'm having trouble with the new select query.
I have table called activities that has a list of activities and how many steps per minute that activity was worth. The table was structred like this:
Activities
id     act_name     act_steps
12     Boxing       250
14     Karate       300
17     Yoga         89

I have another table called distance that is structed like this:
Distance
id     dist_activity_id    dist_activity_duration    member_id
1      12                  60                        12
2      14                  90                        12
3      17                  30                        12

I have the query that would SUM and produce a total for all activities in the distance table
SELECT ROUND(SUM(act_steps * dist_activity_duration / 2000),2) AS total_miles
FROM distance,
     activities
WHERE activities.id = distance.dist_activity_id

This worked fine.
To future proof it incase the number of steps for an activity changes I've setup a table called steps that is structured like this:
Steps
id     activity_steps
1      6
2      250
3      300
4      89

I then updated the activities table, removing the act_steps column and replacing it with steps_id so it now looks like this:
Updated activities
id     act_name     steps_id
12     Boxing       2
14     Karate       3
17     Yoga         4

I'm not sure how to create the select command to get the SUM using the new structure.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks
Wayne

A: Learn to use proper JOIN syntax!  Your query should look like:
SELECT ROUND(SUM(a.act_steps * d.dist_activity_duration / 2000), 2) AS total_miles
FROM distance d JOIN
     activities a
     ON a.id = d.dist_activity_id;

If you need to lookup the steps, then add another JOIN:
SELECT ROUND(SUM(s.activity_steps * d.dist_activity_duration / 2000), 2) AS total_miles
FROM distance d JOIN
     activities a
     ON a.id = d.dist_activity_id JOIN
     steps s
     ON s.id = a.steps_id;
