Uninsured Artist Kickstarts a New Set of Teeth
by Julie Sokolow
"I'm a storyteller, so I like Kickstarter," Dan says.
His words emerge lispingly. It's either because of the phone connection or his broken teeth.
He continues, "Anticipation mixed with uncertainty is the definition of drama."
Dan McCloskey is a 26-year-old writer and comic book artist living in Pittsburgh, PA. When he's not penning hybrid novels such as A Film About Billy or performing readings in warehouses, art spaces, and universities across the US, he's helping other artists. In 2009 he founded Cyberpunk Apocalypse, a residency program that's provided over 37 artists of national and international merit with a free place to stay: his house.
"I call it a close quarters residency," he says. "You come home and there are two dogs running around, a ton of people working, and twenty college students learning letterpress in the hallway."
Cyberpunk makes other residencies seem posh by comparison. It was even featured in the 2010 New York Times article "Chilled by Choice" on artists who work in spaces with wood stoves and little to no heat. The group's emphasis on modest living includes bike riding – often their primary mode of transportation.
"We're young, working, poor kids who ride our bikes a lot," Dan says. "Of course everyone falls, it's just about when and how hard."
On October 22nd 2013, Dan and a fellow writer were riding their bikes home when the high beams from an oncoming car flashed brightly at them. The lights obscured a deep pothole ahead. Dan's front tire fell into the hole and he was sent flying before hitting the ground.
"I blacked out. When I woke up, I could tell my front teeth were gone," he says.
An ambulance took him to a nearby hospital, where a team of doctors rushed him to the trauma center. They cut off his clothes, placed him in a neck brace, and gave him x-rays and PET scans. A plastic surgeon arrived to stitch up his lips over the next three hours.
Dan After the Accident
"I didn't have insurance, but at least I have a face right now," he says.
Dan is currently applying for Emergency Medicaid, which would cover his bills from the night of the accident. To restore his teeth, he'll need $11,000 of dental work, including bone grafting and the insertion of titanium screws, completed over the span of six months to a year. By commissioning dental students rather than long-time professionals to work on his mouth, Dan's reduced the bill to $4,500.
"My Kickstarter was in progress before the accident. Afterwards, I was left with the choice to cancel the project or work harder. I did the latter," he says.
There are seven days left in his campaign for Top of the Line – a monster fighting comic book that coincidentally features a bike-riding protagonist with missing teeth. On November 20th, he launched a 24-hour-long drawing marathon to promote the project, which he streamed live online. Twenty other artists have joined Dan's campaign, auctioning off their work as bonus gifts to project backers.
"I had a lot of friends that wanted to help, but didn't know how," he says. "Artists don't have a lot of money."
Help Dan meet his $6,500 Kickstarter goal. Get a copy of Top of the Line for yourself or give one as a holiday gift.

Online communication is essential for individual use and in business. One of the many protocols or methods on sending messages online, email is undoubtedly the most important. Businesses around the world use this type of communication to get in touch with their workers, customers and clients. This way of sending message on the internet is economical and fast without compromising the standard of information. This is also true for day-to-day interaction because everyone can send out anything without any issue. But getting in touch with someone for the very first time, company or personal use, isn't that easy online. You send a message out to a person that might not be obtained. Why? As though you validate email address in the past, there are situations wherein the specific account might no longer function once you sent out the message.
This may have a big effect for companies since the sender would think that the data went through. In email verification service , there is a collapse of communications because both parties were ineffective in exchanging thoughts. Whenever communicating fails in businesses, money and resources are used for nothing. There are even occasions wherein a company suffers significant losses only because a message was not received. Although financial losses aren't always the result once the message is not received in a private preference, it could still hurt relationships.
This type of service is usually known as online verification tools and its principal aim is to verify email address easily. Several sites offer this type of assistance and also this online assistance is given at no cost.
One of those sites which could help you verify email address is your website called It's a simple website that instantly asks for an email address. The site will then try to access the email address to confirm whether it exists. They provide a step-by-step procedure to verify email address so that you'll be supplied with detailed information regarding the validity of this accounts.

MEMPHIS, ER, KENTUCKY DONE IN BY MISSES AT LINE
Another team coached by John Calipari was done in at the line.
After shooting free throws well much of the season, Kentucky wilted when it mattered most in Monday night's NCAA final.
Kentucky was 13-of-24 from the line, including missing its final three attempts when the game was still hanging in the balance. The last of them, a miss by Alex Poythress, would have cut the Wildcats' deficit against UConn to 56-53 with 3:47 left.
Their free-throw struggles brought back memories of the 2008 title game, when a Memphis team coached by Calipari struggled down the stretch against Kansas.
In that game, the Jayhawks trailed late and started fouling the poor-shooting Tigers. Memphis missed four of its final five free throws as Kansas rallied to win.
James Young was 8-of-9 from the line for Kentucky and finished with 20 points. But the rest of the team was 5-for-15, including Julius Randle (4-of-7) and Dakari Johnson (1-of-4).
Their best free-throw shooters, Aaron and Andrew Harrison, got to the line once - and Aaron missed.
The Wildcats shot 68 percent from the line for the season and had only shot worse than they did Monday three times. Asked whether that decided the game, Aaron replied, "Maybe so."
IRRELEVANT SEEDS: The championship game was the first between a No. 7 seed and a No. 8, but some experts said the changing college basketball landscape has rendered tournament seeding much less important. "I think it's irrelevant now because I think it's hard to evaluate realistically how good a team is," said John Thompson, former longtime Georgetown coach and now an analyst with Westwood One Sports Radio. "You can't just statistically look at a group of people and say that this is the best team any more. You have to have some knowledge of the development, particularly the young teams. Young teams develop, as Kentucky did. Young teams develop as they go along."
TO STAY OR GO? One of the biggest issues surrounding Florida's team is the status of freshman F/CChris Walker.
Walker missed the first three months of the season because of NCAA rules violations that occurred before his arrival in Gainesville. He played his first game on Feb. 4 vs. Missouri and ultimately played just 87 minutes all season. Yet, he's projected by some as a first-round NBA pick.
ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale, who covered numerous Gators games this season and saw Walker in person, said it would be a mistake for him to leave.
"He'll be sitting on the bench," Vitale said. "And I'll tell you what he ought to take a look at: You can play yourself out of the league after three years and be a nobody (like) the kid that went to Kentucky - Daniel Orton. Someone will take him in the first round and he'll sit the bench, and that's sad. He's not ready."
Orton did little after he was the Magic's first-round pick in 2010.

In its first earnings call reporting as an independent company, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said it's hyper focused on continuing to grow while solidifying its brand identity.
During a conference call with investors on Wednesday, Wyndham Hotels CEO Geoff Ballotti laid out the company's future strategy and vision. Wyndham completed its spinoff of Wyndham Destinations on June 2, leaving the hotel business as a standalone..
Ballotti described Wyndham as the largest hotel franchiser in the world, leading in the economy and midscale categories, with a total of 20 brands that welcome a half million guests to their hotels every night. He said that currently, a third of Wyndham's hotels and 20 percent of its royalty fees come from outside the U.S. and that the company intends to grow, both organically and through mergers and acquisitions, both domestically and internationally going forward.
Wyndham Hotels' strategy as an asset-light, fee-based global hotel company is also closely aligned with the company's focus, both on scale and on quality. Ballotti said Wyndham is continuing to focus on the quality of its properties and on the repositioning of its brands.
At the same time, however, he noted, that the company also continues to add more hotel rooms, while making sure that any rooms that don't meet quality standards are removed.
In total, as of June 30, Wyndham has nearly 9,000 hotels and more than 792,000 rooms worldwide — an increase of 12 percent from the same period last year. Room count, excluding the purchase of La Quinta and the sale of Knights Inn, which Wyndham is selling to Red Lion Hotels Corporation, is up 3 percent year over year.
Most recently, the company also added "by Wyndham" to its brands, and that, Ballotti noted, has resulted in an increase of online searches for "Wyndham" by more than 10 percent, and has also led to "increased conversion rates in many channels." In other words, more people are searching for Wyndham and booking Wyndham-branded hotels.
In addition to focusing on brand identity and cohesion, Wyndham will continue to emphasize its Wyndham Rewards loyalty program — which now has 58 million members — and which also connects Wyndham Hotels to Wyndham Destinations, the spun-off business unit of Wyndham Worldwide that includes timeshares, home exchanges, and vacation rentals.
Having closed its acquisition of La Quinta on May 31, Wyndham is also very focused on making sure the integration of La Quinta's 870 hotels and its loyalty program of 13 million members goes smoothly. Ballotti has said the addition of La Quinta will be "transformational" for the company.
Ballotti said the company expects to have La Quinta's hotels on Wyndham's cloud-based central reservations system by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
He also noted that since buying La Quinta, Wyndham has been able to sign 50 new hotel constructions deals for the brand, and the brand's pipeline of new and upcoming hotels has grown from 250 hotels to 266 hotels — an all-time record for the brand.
In all, Wyndham expects to see $55 million to $70 million in annual synergies from the integration of La Quinta into the Wyndham Hotels portfolio.
Wyndham Hotels' second quarter revenues were up 31 percent from the same period last year, rising to $435 million from $331 million, reflecting $77 million in incremental revenue from its acquisition of La Quinta.
Net income was $21 million, compared to last year's $48 million, due to costs from the spin-off and from the purchase of La Quinta.
Global revenue per available room (RevPAR), a popular hotel industry metric for business health, was up 9 percent year over year and 4 percent in constant currency, excluding Wyndham's purchase of La Quinta and the sale of its Knights Inn brand.


The stock markets post new peaks on Tuesday, while the currency segment is characterized by soft volatility. At the same time, the US dollar has already weakened enough to summon certain breaks in the pairs with Australian and Canadian counterparts.
Besides, there are some positive signs regarding the global economic upturn on steadily soft monetary policy. In particular, the US Federal Reserve is expected to remain flexible and express no intentions to raise the interest rate in case of the further positive economic outlook. Moreover, higher inflation is unlikely to affect its position given hints about symmetrical inflation planning which suggests.
In that case, it is necessary that the US yield curve rose again. As a result, the important area is 2.50-2.60% for the yield of US 10Y state bonds, which will make clear whether further development of this scenario may take place or risk demand improves pushing commodities currencies up further.
Along with the US events, the middle of the week will play a significant role in the Brexit process. An emergency summit will be held during which the parties can decide to delay the Brexit in line with Article 50 for 9 or 12 months. Meanwhile, Theresa May strives to get a delay till June 30, though the UK Parliament can take an opposite decision today forcing the market think over possible conditions that Brussels can demand in exchange for that.
The euro-to-US dollar has managed to post rebound in the middle of the week with the rate staying at some $1.1245. The market concerns regarding disagreements during Washington-Beijing talks are easing, which in fact affects demand for the US dollar being the safe asset. Moreover, good morning report from China promoted the price upturn.

Filmfare awarding Raazi, Badhaai Ho is conflict of interest; will excluding in-house movies improve award show's credibility?
Bollywood celebrities dazzled as they made a stylish appearance at the Filmfare Glamour and Style Awards 2019.
Among the Best Film trophy winners at the Filmfare Awards South 2018 include Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Telugu), Aramm (Tamil), Ondu Motteya Kathe (Kannada) and Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum (Malayalam).
Film trade analyst Komal Nahta has claimed that Bollywood diva Sridevi's filmmaker husband Boney Kapoor has opened up to him about his final meeting with his wife, a surprise that turned into a tragedy.
The body of Bollywood icon Sridevi, whose sudden death triggered a frenzy of grief, disbelief and searching questions, was flown back to Mumbai.
Away from the cameras' flash and the eyes of her millions of fans in India, the actress Sridevi's body made its way to a simple mortuary in the United Arab Emirates, where one man helped sign out her remains to return home.
A day after actor Sridevi passed away suddenly, Monday was full of dramatic revelations. Starting from Khaleej Times reporting the last 30 minutes of the actor's life with her husband Boney Kapoor to the forensics coming to the conclusion that Sridevi died due to accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness, the case which seemed quite open-ended in the start got murkier as the day passed.

'I can feel her, I just can't figure out where she is'
June 6, 2022 - Emilee Gilpin
Trigger Warning: This story contains information about a missing Indigenous woman that may be triggering for some readers. Please read with care.
It's a rainy Friday afternoon. After picking up a coffee from the local coffee shop in Masset, Monica Brown parks her red car, that has a picture of her only daughter's face on a missing person's poster, in front of her house. She opens the door to a warm home and settles in at the island.
"I'm from Old Masset. Both my parents are from Old Masset. My dad's mom and my mom's dad are from Old Masset," Monica says, introducing herself in her two Haida names. "My daughter went missing on March 21, 2020. The last time I saw her was on March 20, when she said goodnight."
Shaylanna Lewis was 23 years old when she went missing in 2020, not too long before her April birthday. She'd be 26 now, her mom says. She's been replaying the story over and over, in her head, with her two sons, with the RCMP, with whoever has been around to listen. She does it because "she wants more awareness" around bigger issues she believes are connected to her daughter's case, and because she wants to encourage anyone who might know anything, to "speak up."
The night before Shaylanna went missing, she was hugging her mom and apologizing for "bringing trouble."
"I told her, 'you didn't bring trouble, it was here already,'" Monica says. Her daughter was afraid at the time, she says. She felt like she was being stalked and harassed, but Monica didn't know who or why.
She had been going out for long walks, Monica says, she liked to stay active, she could go really far and fast. On that morning, she left earlier than usual and she never came back. She left her cell phone at home.
"We reported her missing because she was afraid for her life," Monica says. Shaylanna was last seen near Port Clements, she says, and weeks later police found a part of her backpack and some of her clothes spread out, but none of it added up for her mother.
Shaylanna Lewis was 23 years old when she was last seen on March 21, 2020.
Missing person's posters are pinned up all across Haida Gwaii.
'She always danced'
Shaylanna was a part of the Tluu Xaadaa Naay dance group in her home of Masset.
"Everything was about culture, singing, doing it right," she says. Her daughter challenged her all the time, she says, but in a gentle way, with questions. "Do you really think that mom, or are you just colonized?," she'd ask during their walks at the beach.
"I went to day school, my parents went to residential school and their parents went to residential school… so many generations," Monica says. "She always challenged my thinking and we always talked about our spirituality."
Shaylanna was a mask dancer, her mom says, and she was often practicing.
"She was practicing how to get lower and lower for the raven's dance, how to be better and more theatrical," Monica says. "She's an artist too… she made her own cedar paper and things like that."
Monica holds up one of Shaylanna's masks.

'I was grasping to humanize her'
The days, weeks and months that followed Shaylanna's disappearance were extremely difficult for her family. The RCMP took her computer and phone to search for any evidence of where she could have gone. They came back about a week later with one of Shaylanna's writings from her computer and told her family they thought it was a suicide note.
Monica and her son were shocked. It was just one of her "dynamic writings," she says, nothing like a suicide note. They told police not to come back unless they had real evidence, a body, DNA sample, dental records… "Those are the only things we'll accept as conclusive," Monica had said.
Shaylanna went missing right as COVID-19 spread across the world. There was a lot of fear around being out and around big groups, with serious efforts to keep loved ones safe. Some people went out to search for Shaylanna right away, others went when they could, a small and tight-knit community rocked by the news and confused by the many stories that started to swarm about.
"I have people that came beside me right away, they're still there," Monica says. The Search and Rescue Program wouldn't go out to look, she says, and police were telling people not to go search, potentially putting themselves at risk and complicating a case which they had little capacity to deal with.
Monica felt like her daughter was painted as a "little girl out in the wilderness where she doesn't belong," but she knows Shaylanna as very intelligent and comfortable on the land.
"The first year, I was really grasping to humanize her," Monica says. "I did a lot of public posts… angry, attacking people, talking about colonization and the conspiracy of silence. I felt like I was doing it to piss people off so that they would react and give her back."
She was reacting emotionally, she says, desperate, scared and confused by everything she was hearing, or not hearing.
"There was so much gossip and rumours," Monica says, some more harmful and impactful than others. She has gotten reports of bodies found and held her breath for weeks until it has been identified, not her Shaylanna, she says.
There have been reports of potential sightings in other cities as well. Monica has taken off, driving around Prince Rupert and Vancouver, chasing around the shadow of a story, hoping that someone will see the face on her car and maybe know something and reach out.
Red dresses honour and call for awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Little Shaylanna posing beside a goat.

A reward of $60,000 has been set for "the arrest and conviction of the person potentially responsible for her disappearance." Monica says she's sold off household items and gone into debt taking trips to search for her daughter. She sells her jewelry too, doing what it takes to make it all work as she's off on stress leave, she explains.
It's not just a story about Shaylanna, she says — it's a story about Indigenous people dealing with substandard support services and a culture of suffocating silence.
"The social norms are to keep quiet… we'll keep silent about anything we know," Monica says. "Especially for Indigenous women… you take the beatings, being called down, worse… there have been a few murders here, but they're often deemed as accidental…nothing suspicious."
"Silencing can't take place," she says. "It still takes place. And people don't talk about what they or their loved ones have gone through, they stay silent. Knowing how much we have been silenced… I want that out… people have the right to deal with what they're going through… Shaylanna isn't the first one."
Monica won't give up searching for her daughter or searching for answers. The hashtag #BringShaylannaHome is being used across social media to continue to spread awareness of her story.
"I can feel her, I just can't figure out where she is," Monica says softly. "That's why I go and look, because she needs to be able to see or hear… maybe even one person will see that missing person poster or posts on social media and might be able to make a connection, help in any way."

'General Hospital' Spoilers: Anna Devane Returns To Port Charles Soon, Finola Hughes Back On Set
Anna certainly won't be getting a welcome home party from Hayden Barnes.
Todd Wawrychuk / ABC Press
Kim Brandow
Finola Hughes has returned to the General Hospital set and fans are excited to see her back. The actress has been away on her annual summer vacation. She takes some time away from the ABC soap every year for some rest and relaxation. But now she is back and ready to get to work.
Hughes posted an update on her Instagram account of herself sitting in a chair with all ladies surrounding her. They appear to be her hair and makeup crew. She looks like she is rested up and ready to get to work. She gave a huge hint that she was on the General Hospital set when she used hashtags to verify where she was. Hughes has been gone since June. She spent some time in Hawaii, as seen in some photos that she shared on social media.
Now that the General Hospital star is back, she will be getting her acting chops on, and it will prove to be some dramatic scenes coming up in about a month. Anna Devane has been out of the country looking for her twin sister, Alex. Her fiance, Finn, stayed in Port Charles. He is anxious to have her back, especially now that his ex, Hayden Barnes, has returned.
Hayden has already admitted that she still has feelings for him, thanks to the truth serum that Valentin Cassadine slipped in her drink while she and Jax were there for dinner. Now Finn is left to figure out how he feels about how her admission. Anna will be returning to a complicated situation.
When she left, she had no idea that Finn's ex would show up. General Hospital spoilers for next week tease that Finn will be asking Hayden to meet with him. What is that all about? Will he want to know more about the child that Hayden supposedly lost?
All lady crew….. #gh #generalhospital #things #setlife #howdidigethere ❤
A post shared by finola hughes (@finolafilona) on Aug 7, 2019 at 1:01pm PDT
Finn will likely be relieved when Anna makes it back home. However, it will certainly make his life even more complicated than it already is. He will be caught between the two women that he has strong feelings for. Many fans want to see Finn and Hayden back together. That may happen sooner or later, or having Anna back may just reinforce his decision to leave his old life behind and move on with his fiance.
No one knows just yet where Finn and Hayden's baby is. Hayden was obviously pregnant when she was seen leaving town. That may be the string that Hayden pulls to get Finn's attention. When will she tell him about their child? Will Hayden come between Finn and Anna?
Keep watching General Hospital in the coming weeks to see how this all plays out.


Solid mid-range power supply that delivers great performance without costing a fortune.
The power requirements of enthusiast and gaming PCs have increased dramatically over the last few years, due to the development of ever more powerful and sophisticated CPUs and graphics processors. And while the general trend has been higher energy consumption, there are many consumers that don't need a high end kilowatt power supply. There is a considerable market for mid-range units to power a single graphics card setup, somewhere around 750W of power.
The Antec High Power Gamer M 750W is one such mid-range power supply, and while it's not a beast like one of Antec's premium units, the High Power Gamer M is 80PLUS Bronze certified, sports a modular design (hence the new "M" moniker), and comes with a price tag of $99. That's reasonably priced for the average gamer or casual enthusiast who doesn't want to break the bank, while still hoping to score solid performance for their hard-earned cash.
Affordable doesn't necessarily mean cheap, and we've seen how performance can certainly match expectations without costing a fortune. Will the Antec High Power Gamer M power supply step up or fizzle out? Let's get it on the bench for a closer look and find out.

The new GP surgery for Emsworth – a progress report - South Eastern Hampshire CCG
NHS South Eastern Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group has produced a short film to update the community on progress on the new GP surgery for Emsworth.
Construction work started last January and is due to be completed in late March 2021 on the site of the former Victoria Cottage Hospital in the town centre – a stone's throw from the existing GP surgery.
The film includes brief interviews with contractors Mountjoy and Dr Abu Chinwala – a GP partner at Emsworth, and an introduction from Sara Tiller, the CCG's managing director.
It is available via the Emsworth page on the CCG website by clicking here or directly via this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGLDkLasAiE
The £3.5m scheme includes the demolition of single-storey outbuildings, a new rear single-storey extension to the main building, installing a new lift shaft, reconfiguring rooms within the surgery and internal and external decorations.
For years GPs, staff and patients have struggled to cope on their cramped existing site.

You should be proud, you've earned your sobriety. You have a healthy new outlook on life—but perhaps you aren't quite ready to return home. Cycles of Change partnered extended care home is a way for those who have completed drug and alcohol rehab to transition to an independence that still provides some structure and support, in a comfortable and homey setting. Even with relapse tools tuned up and ready, temptation in the early days of sobriety can remain strong.
Living in Cycle of Change Recovery's partnered extended care house allows residents to go about their daily lives in an independent and normal way. They work and socialize in an open-door manner, but there are still expectations and accountability.
While living in our partnered extended care home, each resident takes an active part in regular group counseling and relapse support sessions. Household chores are part of the extended care lifestyle, everyone pitches in. Voluntary drug testing and a mandatory curfew helps maintain sobriety in this early transition period.

This is lovely. I could get a full story from this. Well done Sonya.
so she married the devil?
No, not quite. But she had the devil take the perfect picture of her before she signed up for online dating… I know there are a few gaps – sometimes it's difficult to translate everything that's in my head into 100 words.
oh. I missed that. It's still a good story.
The end actually gave me an idea that maybe she had an agreement with the devil to exchange her soul to have a charmed life? Did I get it right? Nice story.
Great job Sonya. An interesting story with different snap shots!
You've done a fantastic job, Sonya!
Certainly, Sonya! What an intriguing story – in 100 words at that! Great job!


Interested in doing up a project car but not sure where to start? This Lexus IS 200 with a 1UZ V8 engine conversion might spark some inspiration. And it's up for sale.
Appearing on Gumtree recently, the car is a first-generation IS 200, which is a cool foundation to start with. At 1348kg, it's pretty light as is, and being rear-wheel drive and powered by a inline six-cylinder engine means there are loads of options and big tuning potential.
One option is to pull the factory 2.0-litre naturally aspirated six, that only produces 114kW, and replace it with a 2JZ or even a 2.5-litre 1JZ twin-turbo from the Supra and Soarer, respectively. This engine pretty much slides straight in.
With the length to accomodate an inline six means the engine bay can also swallow up a V8 pretty easily. As is the case with this neat build. It features a 4.0-litre 1UZ VVTi V8, which features twin-cam technology and variable valve timing.
It's known as a strong, relatively high-revving V8, found in various Toyota and Lexus vehicles. It produces around 200kW from factory, depending on year of the vehicle it comes from. Interestingly though, the engine is usually only found with an automatic bolted to it, but in this IS 200 it's paired with a six-speed manual.
According to the seller, the car is in great working order and has been used as a daily driver for the last couple of years without any major issue. The only minor issue is the temperature gauge doesn't work as the owner hasn't installed the correct sensor.
We don't know about you but we think this would be a very fun car to drive, especially with the manual. It's up for sale now for a very reasonable AU$14,500. Head over to the Gumtree ad for more details.


We offer Agrotourism accommodation. This means that we open the doors of our house where you can enjoy an accommodation located in nature and where you will see the daily and daily activities of work in the countryside and on the farm.
Use communal kitchen for the rooms, supplement € 12 night.
All bathrooms have shower gel, towels and hair dryer.
All of our accommodations include bed linens.

These are the 'jobless' people who have called on Akufo-Addo to reshuffle his ministers
Odogwu
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is not known to be someone who often responds to a lot of public talks, but there have been times that when he does, it punches a lot of holes in the impression created about him as being a listening president.
And while there is no law or rule anywhere in the books of Ghana for presidents to, as a matter of necessity, reshuffle their appointees, the tradition has been as old as Ghana's democracy.
That being said, since he took office in 2017, reshuffling under President Akufo-Addo's government has rather become a scarce happening. So much so that, the only time he has done anything as major in that respect was in 2021, at the dawn of his second term in office.
Increasingly, and for many public-interest reasons, a number of Ghanaians have had cause to ask the president to reshuffle his ministers.
And in the hope of most of these people, this should help improve the country's economy.
But President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo feels the calls are ill-motivated.
Speaking recently, he said such may persons have ulterior motives for calling for a reshuffle of government appointees under his administration.
He also suggested that some of these people may be 'jobless' persons.
"The calls come for all kinds of reasons; NDC wanting to destabilise the government is one. There are people who are also looking for jobs," he said while speaking in a North Star Radio interview.
President Akufo-Addo also added that his ministers had performed well; therefore, he had no reason to reshuffle them.
"Many of them, for me, have done outstanding work. Their output has been considerable, and that is what I look at. If the output measures expectations, then I don't have any strong reasons to heed the call," the president said.
But who are the people who have been calling for the president to reshuffle his ministers? The people he describes as 'jobless'.
There are quite a number of names, interestingly, these persons all are employed and are high-ranking members of society.
Here are a few notable Ghanaians who have asked for the president to reshuffle, and brief profiles about them:

If you are planning on selling your old Washington, DC house, or its already on the market, one tip that experienced Realtors and Real Estate agents successfully utilize is to commission a complete history of the house. In this buyers market, its the one aspect that might make your house stand out with an extra bit of cache. If a buyer knows about the history of your house, they may just fall in love with the past social aspects and important people that lived there in addition to falling in love with your new Viking range.
A complete history costs less than a single newspaper advertisement, and if done right, it will include information on your architect, builder, owners and renters, and any changes that have been made to the house over the years. You can see good examples of houses histories here.
Kelsey & Associates has been doing this in Washington, DC for over 15 years, and can usually complete a house history in less than 30 days, and combine a fascinating array of deeds, vintage pictures, biographies, building permits, census details, newspaper searchers, passport applications, ships registries, etc. Sometimes even locate a living relative of your home's first owners; they are the people that have those family scrap books that show life in and outside of your house 100 years ago or more. Those kinds of pictures never make it into public archives.
Copies of your house history can be printed out for open houses, or a pdf created for use on websites. You never know who or when someone famous once lived or even rented a room in your DC house, and Real Estate agents agree that every house has a history, large or small. If your listings include vague language like "circa 1900" or "elegant architecture," a house history can change that to "built in 1912 by noted architect George E. Cooper," or "once home to Ice Cream millionaire Jacob Fussell." Which house would peak your interest more?
Find out how much it would cost to research your house history today!
So while at a party over the weekend after being introduced as a historic preservationist, a new acquaintance complained how expensive it was going to be to replace their slate roof. Their contractor estimated $20-$25,000.
I told them to get another contractor. Why? Slate is hung on the roof with a single large hole and a nail; working from the top down, its easily lifted off the nail and can be carried and assembled on the ground while the sub-roof is replaced and the gutters renewed. You will loose about 10% to breakage, and you should plan on buying about 10-15% new slate for the reassembly....these new slate should be placed on a section of the roof themselves, as they are likely no to match the old slate exactly; just have them put on dormers or a small pitch of the roof.
If the old slate is painted or has roofing tar on it (gasp) like it was on my old 1879 house in Washington, it can be flipped over when it is replaced on the roof. It your roofer wants you to replace the entire roof of slate, run. They want to get the profit from providing new slate, and avoid caring for the old slate during removal. Its easier to throw the pieces off the roof than carry them down, yes? There is also faux rubber slate on the market that you can't tell is not real slate, even up close.
So, there you go. I just saved a new friend-of-a-friend about $20,000 in about 5 minutes.
A Wardman or not a Wardman? That is the Question.
And the answer is most likely: Not a Wardman. Of course, I'm talking about Harry Wardman (right), a builder in Washington, DC beginning about the turn of the twentieth century. Real estate agents often are to blame, advertising just about any house in DC with a front porch and hardwood floors as a Wardman.
Most houses by far are not, however, and I'm wondering why my clients that have been told that through real estate advertising and open houses don't sue the damn real estate agents that are making false claims and perpetuating the myth that the guy built nearly everything in Washington. I would.
Relatives of the builder and his chief architect are also behind perpetuating the myth, along with a few historians here and there. Wardman went broke more than once, and officers in his company were brought up on all sorts of financial charges, before the Great Depression when he went broke for good. You won't find those aspects highlighted by relatives.
Now that more documentation has emerged about builders in DC, its been proven that there are equally prevalent builders, many of whom built more houses in DC than Wardman. I'm looking forward to the day when real estate agents begin advertising "built by Warner, built by Blundon, built by Groff, and built by Middaugh & Shannon," for example.
Having completed about 1,500 individual house histories in Washington, DC to date, I always wondered why less than 10% of them happened to be built by Wardman. Now I know for sure.
This Google map includes the location and basic information of the house histories we have completed to date in the NW section of Washington, DC. Each location has year built, architect, and builder. Enjoy!
I'm rotating an offer to certain neighborhood groups in DC our NEW summer promotion for a complete "house history" report!
Hopefully, you are already familiar with our thoroughly researched house history reports that document all aspects of your old house; who built it, who designed it and when, and who has owned or rented it over time. We combine research on deeds, genealogy, building permits, biographies, city directories, census, the Washington Post archives, and other resources for a well rounded and cited booklet. Sometime, we can even locate living relatives of your first occupants that have those rare, historic pictures of you house when it was first completed. By focusing on several homes in one neighborhood, we can offer this for only $450 complete! Visit WashingtonHistory.com for samples and more information.

Q: What's a word for a non-communicable (non-contagious) disease that has still spread throughout a population? Normally I would use forms of the words epidemic, pandemic, or infection but these would imply that the disease is contagious. Are there any words that mean a disease has spread but is not contagious?
Eg: "Instances of diabetes have spread throughout the city."

A: Epidemic means only that the disease has spread more than expected; pandemic that it has spread to other countries. It doesn't have to be contagious — Bradd Szonye is correct in that — but it could be, so if you really want "words that mean a disease has spread but is not contagious" epidemic doesn't specifically say that.
You could try outbreak:

a sudden, violent, or spontaneous occurrence, esp of disease or strife

A: In medical/veterinary fields, the word prevalence means:

the total number of cases of a specific disease in existence in a given population at a certain time
(Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, p 920; Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary 31st Ed., p 1536)

And the word prevalent means:

widespread occurrence (Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, p 920)

I think you could say that a disease is prevalent in a community without necessarily implying that it was spread by contagion. You are just stating that it is now widespread.

A: Endemic is not applied strictly to diseases, but it connotes both pervasive and entrenched. You could certainly say that "Obesity is endemic in the United States."

natural to or characteristic of a specific people or place; native; indigenous: endemic >folkways; countries where high unemployment is endemic.
(dictionary.com)

Apparently it can also be used as a noun specifically to describe a disease, although I (native US English speaker) am not familiar with this usage:

noun
  3. an endemic disease.
(dictionary.com)

A: First note that epidemic is an appropriate word even if the disease is non-communicable:

An epidemic disease is not required to be contagious, and the term has been applied to West Nile fever and the obesity epidemic, among others.

However, if you would prefer a word that has fewer associations with communicable disease, consider rampant, rise, sweeping, upsurge, wave, or crisis. These words are not specific to disease, but they address its spread without implying contagion. Most of them are suitable to replace epidemic as a noun ("the obesity epidemic"); rampant and sweeping can replace adjectival uses ("epidemic disease").

A: I'd call that the plague of [ the disease name ]. Or perhaps the blight of [ the disease name ]. Yes, that's the figurative sense, but for some settings that might not present a problem.

A: "Epidemic" may be used to describe a disease which has spread and is/is not contagious.
I believe you are using epidemic as a noun, and with that in mind I suggest an example for comparison, for fun;
"Normally I would use forms of the words "stage" or "phase" for a period of time, but these would imply the period of time is finished. Are there any "nouns" for a period of time which has occurred but is not finished?"
I've ruled out "stage" as a possible answer for, in my opinion, the word "stage" implies the period of time is finished. As a matter of fact, I rule out all nouns which could be used to describe a period of time which is finished.

Three years after pedestrian struck and killed in South Kitsap, investigators arrest man
Andrew Binion
PORT ORCHARD -- A tip from a Kitsap County Jail inmate, who told investigators he had long struggled with his conscience over witnessing an unsolved 2015 fatal hit-and-run, led to the arrest Thursday of a suspect.
The Washington State Patrol had been investigating the death of Chris Lukkasson, 64, who was found October 14, 2015, severely injured in the roadway on the 4800 block of Victory Drive SW. She was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where she died the next day.
Following the tip, investigators arrested Zosimo Jumana Aguada, 49, at his house in Bremerton.
Aguada said he had used intoxicants before driving that afternoon, according to court documents. Aquada said he had stopped to look at a house and when he left, instead of driving forward, he backed up and accidentally struck Lukkasson.
Aguada said from looking in the mirrors of the vehicle he could see a person lying in the road.
"Zosimo got scared and didn't know what to do so he took off," investigators wrote.
He has been charged in Kitsap County Superior Court with hit and run resulting in death.
Lukkasson lived nearby and regularly took walks in the neighborhood.
More: Authorities still seeking info on fatal SK crash
Little to no evidence was left at the scene. Aguada's arrest came quickly after the inmate contacted Sheriff's Office investigators Thursday, who then contacted the State Patrol.
The inmate said he was in the vehicle with Aguada when Lukkasson was struck and called 911 to report her body in the road. He used a fake name and removed the SIM card from his phone to prevent it from being identified.
The inmate said he had thought about contacting police since then.
"It wasn't until last night at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that it finally hit him he had to speak up because it was the right thing to do," the inmate said, according to court documents.
According to the inmate's statement, he, Aguada and others had been smoking meth at a house near the scene.
In Aguada's statement, he said he smoked two joints and drank a beer before driving.
Aguada and the inmate then left the residence to go to a store to buy ice cream and on the way back stopped to look at a truck parked at a neighbor's house. He said they were driving a van and another witness said it had items stacked in front of the rear windows, obscuring the view.
When they went to leave, Aguada drove backwards, first slowly then at a higher rate of speed until the inmate said he heard a "thud." The inmate said they both looked in the mirrors and saw a woman lying in the road. Aguada then drove away, reaching speeds of up to 80 mph.
The inmate said he tried to convince Aguada to return, but he refused, so the inmate asked to be let out of the van. Once walking on the street, he called 911.
Investigators were unable to immediately locate the van. It was impounded during the months following Lukkasson's death, according to a woman who said she and Aguada lived in it, and the fees to get it back were more than they could afford.
In a statement announcing the arrest, authorities said that Aguada appeared relieved.
"To keep that secret that long finally caught up to him," State Patrol Detective Krista Hedstrom said in the statement.
Obituary: Chris Lukkasson, 64
Cooperation between agencies was vital to solving the case and bringing some closure for the Lukkasson's family, according to the statement.
"I told them from the beginning I wasn't going to give up on them," Hedstrom said in the statement. "We were going to work this case until it was solved."

Farmingdale is an incorporated village on Long Island within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York, United States. The population was 8,189 as of the 2010 Census.
The first European settler in the area was Thomas Powell, who arrived in 1687. On October 18, 1695, he purchased a 15-square-mile (39 km2) tract of land from three Native American tribes. This is known as the Bethpage Purchase and includes what is now Farmingdale, as well as Bethpage, Melville, North Massapequa, Old Bethpage, Plainedge, and Plainview. One of two houses he built in the area (circa 1738) still stands on Merritts Road in Farmingdale.
In the 1830s, anticipating construction of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), land developer Ambrose George purchased a large tract of land between a community then known as Bethpage and an area in Suffolk County known as Hardscrabble.He built a general store in the western part of this property which he named Farmingdale. When the LIRR started service to the area in October 1841,it used the name Farmingdale for its latest stop, here, on the line it was building to Greenport. Stagecoaches took people from the Farmingdale station to Islip, Babylon, Patchogue, Oyster Bay South, and West Neck (Huntington area).
In 1886 a fire department was organized. The of Farmingdale was incorporated in 1904. In 1912, the State Agricultural and Technical school was established. The Lenox Hills Country Club, an 18-hole private golf course designed by Devereux Emmet, was developed north of the community in 1923 and was owned and operated by Benjamin F. Yoakum. This golf course was purchased by the State of New York, was greatly expanded, and then re-opened as Bethpage State Park in 1932, with much of the golf design work carried out by golf architect A.W. Tillinghast, later inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The original 1920s era Lenox Hills subdivision and later adjacent subdivisions, located between the Bethpage State Park golf courses and the Long Island Railroad trackage, encompassing rolling hills and a wide boulevard, are known as the more upscale part of Farmingdale Village. Later, Farmingdale became a locus for the aircraft industry, notably Republic Aviation Company.

Q: Implementing PartialEq for a struct with From types I am trying to implement PartialEq between a struct I created and other types for which my struct implements the From trait. The real code is more complex and implements From for other types, but this is a stripped down version of the core problem.
I want to be able to do:
let s = Data::from(5);
assert_eq!(5, s);

This is the base code:
struct Data {
    data: i64,
}

impl From<i64> for Data {
    fn from(v: i64) -> Data {
        Data { data: v }
    }
}

impl<'a> From<&'a i64> for Data {
    fn from(v: &'a i64) -> Data {
        Data { data: v.clone() }
    }
}

This was my first try:
impl<T> PartialEq<T> for Data
    where T: Into<Data>
{
    fn eq(&self, other: &T) -> bool {
        let o = Data::from(other);
        self.data == o.data
    }
}

but I get an error:
error: the trait bound `Data: std::convert::From<&T>` is not satisfied [--explain E0277]

   |>
21 |>         let o = Data::from(other);
   |>                 ^^^^^^^^^^
help: consider adding a `where Data: std::convert::From<&T>` bound
note: required by `std::convert::From::from`

So I changed the trait bound to what the compiler suggested and added all the requested lifetimes to fix the missing lifetime specifier error:
impl<'a, T> PartialEq<T> for Data
    where T: 'a, Data: From<&'a T>
{
    fn eq(&self, other: &'a T) -> bool {
        let o = Data::from(other);
        self.data == o.data
    }
}

From which I get

And now I'm lost, as it suggests to do exactly what I did and it refused... :/
Code on the playground

A: The compiler is right: adding where Data: From<&T> is the right thing to do. But as you already noticed, a lifetime specifier is required in this case. But how do we declare it?
What we want to say to the compiler:

Data should implement From<&'a T> for any lifetime 'a

We can't declare the lifetime on the impl block, because this expresses something different. We instead need to use "higher-ranked lifetime bounds", as shown here:
    where Data: for<'a> From<&'a T>
//              ^^^^^^^

This fixes your main problem.

There are two minor, unrelated, additional problems:

*

*you need to swap the arguments in assert_eq!(), because of the way PartialEq is used: assert_eq!(s, 5)

*you need to #[derive(Debug)] for your Data type

You can find a working version here on the playground.

A: You just need one tiny modification to make that PartialEq work: require Data: From<&'a T> since you're using Data::from(other) and not other.into():
impl<T> PartialEq<T> for Data
    where for<'a> Data: From<&'a T>
{
    fn eq(&self, other: &T) -> bool {
        let o = Data::from(other);
        self.data == o.data
    }
}

You also need two tiny modifications to make the assert_eq! work:

*

*Since you're implementing PartialEq for Data, the RHS is T and the LHS is Data, so you can only compare using Data::from(5) == 5 and not 5 == Data::from(5).

*You need to implement Debug if you want to use assert_eq!.
Final working code:
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Data {
    data: i64,
}

impl From<i64> for Data {
    fn from(v: i64) -> Data {
        Data { data: v }
    }
}

impl<'a> From<&'a i64> for Data {
    fn from(v: &'a i64) -> Data {
        Data { data: v.clone() }
    }
}

impl<T> PartialEq<T> for Data
    where for<'a> Data: From<&'a T>
{
    fn eq(&self, other: &T) -> bool {
        let o = Data::from(other);
        self.data == o.data
    }
}

fn main() {
    let s = Data::from(5);
    assert_eq!(s, 5);
}

Job Job 41
Brown's Commentary on the Bible
Job humbles himself before the Lord, Job 40:1-5. And God again challenges him by a display of his power and judgments, Job 40:6-14. A description of behemoth, Job 40:15-24.
Moreover the Lord answered - That is, the Lord continued his discourse with Job. Answered does not refer to any thing said by Job, or any question asked. I think it very likely that this whole piece, from the beginning of this first verse to the end of the fourteenth, was originally the ending of the poem. Mr. Heath has noticed this, and I shall lay his words before the reader: "The former part of this chapter is evidently the conclusion of the poem; the latter part whereof seems to be in great disorder; whether it has happened from the carelessness of the transcriber, or, which appears most probable, from the skins of parchment composing the roll having by some accident changed their places. It is plain from the seventh verse of the forty-second chapter { Job 42:7;} that Jehovah is the last speaker in the poem. If, then, immediately after the end of the thirty-ninth chapter, we subjoin the fifteenth verse of the forty-second chapter, and place the fourteen first verses of the fortieth chapter immediately after the sixth verse of the forty-second chapter, and by that means make them the conclusion of the poem, all will be right; and this seventh verse of the forty-second chapter will be in its natural order. The action will be complete by the judgment of the Almighty; and the catastrophe of the poem will be grand and solemn." To these reasons of Mr. Heath, Dr. Kennicott has added others, which the reader may find at the end of the chapter. { Job 40:24;} Without taking any farther notice of the transposition in this place, I will continue the notes in the present order of the verses.
He that reproveth God, let him answer it - Let the man who has made so free with God and his government, answer to what he has now heard.
Behold, I am vile - I acknowledge my inward defilement. I cannot answer thee.
I will lay mine hand upon my mouth - I cannot excuse myself, and I must be dumb before thee.
Once have I spoken - See on Job 42:3; (note), etc.
I will proceed no farther - I shall attempt to justify myself no longer; I have spoken repeatedly; and am confounded at my want of respect for my Maker, and at the high thoughts which I have entertained of my own righteousness. All is impurity in the presence of thy Majesty.
Gird up thy loins - See Job 38:1-3. Some think that this and the preceding verse have been repeated here from Job 38:1-3, and that several of the words there, here, and Job 42:3, have been repeated, in after times, to connect some false gatherings of the sheets of parchment, on which the end of this poem was originally written. See on Job 40:1; (note), and at the end of the chapter.
Wilt thou condemn me - Rather than submit to be thought in the wrong, wilt thou condemn My conduct, in order to justify thyself? Some men will never acknowledge themselves in the wrong. "God may err, but we cannot," seems to be their impious maxim. Unwillingness to acknowledge a fault frequently leads men, directly or indirectly, to this sort of blasphemy. There are three words most difficult to be pronounced in all languages, - I Am Wrong.
Hast thou an arm like God? - Every word, from this to the end of Job 40:14, has a wonderful tendency to humble the soul; and it is no wonder that at the conclusion of these sayings Job fell in the dust confounded, and ascribed righteousness to his Maker.
Deck thyself now with majesty - Act like God, seeing thou hast been assuming to thyself perfections that belong to him alone.
Hide them in the dust together - Blend the high and the low, the rich and the poor, in one common ruin. Show them that thou art supreme, and canst do whatsoever thou pleasest.
Bind their faces in secret - This seems to refer to the custom of preserving mummies: the whole body is wrapped round with strong swathings of linen or cotton cloth. Not only the limbs, but the very head, face, and all, are rolled round with strong filleting, so that not one feature can be seen, not even the protuberance of the nose. On the outside of these involutions a human face is ordinarily painted; but as to the real face itself, it is emphatically bound in secret, for those rollers are never intended to be removed.
Thine own right hand can save thee - It is the prerogative of God alone to save the human soul. Nothing less than unlimited power, exerted under the direction and impulse of unbounded mercy, can save a sinner. This is most clearly asserted in this speech of Jehovah: When thou canst extend an arm like God, i.e., an uncontrollable power - when thou canst arm thyself with the lightning of heaven, and thunder with a voice like God - when thou canst deck thyself with the ineffable glory, beauty, and splendor of the supreme majesty of Jehovah - when thou canst dispense thy judgments over all the earth, to abase the proud, and tread down the wicked - when thou canst as having the keys of hell and death, blend the high and the low in the dust together; then I will acknowledge to thee that thy own right hand can save thee. In other words: Salvation belongeth unto the Lord; no man can save his own soul by works of righteousness which he has done, is doing, or can possibly do, to all eternity. Without Jesus every human spirit must have perished everlastingly. Glory be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Behold now behemoth - The word בהמות behemoth is the plural of בהמה behemah, which signifies cattle in general, or graminivorous animals, as distinguished from חיתו chayetho, all wild or carnivorous animals. See Genesis 1:24. The former seems to mean kine, horses, asses, sheep, etc., and all employed in domestic or agricultural matters; the latter, all wild and savage beasts, such as lions, bears, tigers, etc.: but the words are not always taken in these senses.
In this place it has been supposed to mean some animal of the beeve kind. The Vulgate retains the Hebrew name; so do the Syriac and Arabic. The Chaldee is indefinite, translating creature or animal. And the Septuagint is not more explicit, translating by θηρια, beasts or wild beasts; and old Coverdale, the cruell beaste, perhaps as near to the truth as any of them. From the name, therefore, or the understanding had of it by the ancient versions, we can derive no assistance relative to the individuality of the animal in question; and can only hope to find what it is by the characteristics it bears in the description here given of it.
These, having been carefully considered and deeply investigated both by critics and naturalists, have led to the conclusion that either the elephant, or the hippopotamus or river-horse, is the animal in question; and on comparing the characteristics between these two, the balance is considerably in favor of the hippopotamus. But even here there are still some difficulties, as there are some parts of the description which do not well suit even the hippopotamus; and therefore I have my doubts whether either of the animals above is that in question, or whether any animal now in existence be that described by the Almighty.
Mr. Good supposes, and I am of the same opinion, that the animal here described is now extinct. The skeletons of three lost genera have actually been found out: these have been termed palaeotherium, anoplotherium, and mastodon or mammoth. From an actual examination of a part of the skeleton of what is termed the mammoth, I have described it in my note on Genesis 1:24.
As I do not believe that either the elephant or the river-horse is intended here, I shall not take up the reader's time with any detailed description. The elephant is well known; and, though not an inhabitant of these countries, has been so often imported in a tame state, and so frequently occurs in exhibitions of wild beasts, that multitudes, even of the common people, have seen this tremendous, docile, and sagacious animal. Of the hippopotamus or river-horse, little is generally known but by description, as the habits of this animal will not permit him to be tamed. His amphibious nature prevents his becoming a constant resident on dry land.
The hippopotamus inhabits the rivers of Africa and the lakes of Ethiopia: feeds generally by night; wanders only a few miles from water; feeds on vegetables and roots of trees, but never on fish; lays waste whole plantations of the sugar-cane, rice, and other grain. When irritated or wounded, it will attack boats and men with much fury. It moves slowly and heavily: swims dexterously; walks deliberately and leisurely over head into the water; and pursues his way, even on all fours, on the bottom; but cannot remain long under the water without rising to take in air. It sleeps in reedy places; has a tremendous voice, between the lowing of an ox and the roaring of the elephant. Its head is large; its mouth, very wide; its skin, thick and almost devoid of hair; and its tail, naked and about a foot long. It is nearly as large as the elephant, and some have been found seventeen feet long. Mr. Good observes: "Both the elephant and hippopotamus are naturally quiet animals; and never interfere with the grazing of others of different kinds unless they be irritated. The behemoth, on the contrary, is represented as a quadruped of a ferocious nature, and formed for tyranny, if not rapacity; equally lord of the floods and of the mountains; rushing with rapidity of foot, instead of slowness or stateliness; and possessing a rigid and enormous tail, like a cedar tree, instead of a short naked tail of about a foot long, as the hippopotamus; or a weak, slender, hog-shaped tail, as the elephant."
The mammoth, for size, will answer the description in this place, especially Job 40:19; : He is the chief of the ways of God. That to which the part of a skeleton belonged which I examined, must have been, by computation, not less than twenty-five feet high, and sixty feet in length! The bones of one toe I measured, and found them three feet in length! One of the very smallest grinders of an animal of this extinct species, full of processes on the surface more than an inch in depth, which shows that the animal had lived on flesh, I have just now weighed, and found it, in its very dry state, four pounds eight ounces, avoirdupois: the same grinder of an elephant I have weighed also, and found it just two pounds. The mammoth, therefore, from this proportion, must have been as large as two elephants and a quarter. We may judge by this of its size: elephants are frequently ten and eleven feet high; this will make the mammoth at least twenty-five or twenty-six feet high; and as it appears to have been a many-toed animal, the springs which such a creature could make must have been almost incredible: nothing by swiftness could have escaped its pursuit. God seems to have made it as the proof of his power; and had it been prolific, and not become extinct, it would have depopulated the earth. Creatures of this kind must have been living in the days of Job; the behemoth is referred to here, as if perfectly and commonly known.
He eateth grass as an ox - This seems to be mentioned as something remarkable in this animal: that though from the form of his teeth he must have been carnivorous, yet he ate grass as an ox; he lived both on animal and vegetable food.
His strength is in his loins - This refers to his great agility, notwithstanding his bulk; by the strength of his loins he was able to take vast springs, and make astonishing bounds.
He moveth his tail like a cedar - Therefore it was neither the elephant, who has a tail like that of the hog, nor the hippopotamus, whose tail is only about a foot long.
The sinews of his stones - I translate with Mr. Good, and for the same reasons, the sinews of his haunches, which is still more characteristic; as the animal must have excelled in leaping.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass-bars of iron - The tusk I have mentioned above is uncommonly hard, solid, and weighty for its size.
He is the chief of the ways of God - The largest, strongest, and swiftest quadruped that God has formed.
He that made him - No power of man or beast can overcome him. God alone can overcome him, and God alone could make his sword (of extinction) approach to him.
The mountains bring him forth food - It cannot therefore be the hippopotamus, as he is seldom found far from the rivers where he has his chief residence.
Where all the beasts of the field play - He frequents those places where he can have most prey. He makes a mock of all the beasts of the field. They can neither resist his power, nor escape from his agility. All this answers to what we know of the mammoth, but not at all to the hippopotamus.
He lieth under the shady trees - This and the following verses refer to certain habits of the behemoth, with which we are and must be unacquainted,
The willows of the brook compass him - This would agree well enough with the hippopotamus.
Behold, he drinketh up a river - A similar mode of expression, and of precisely the same meaning, as that in Job 39:24; : "He swalloweth the ground with fierceness." No river can stop his course: he wades through all; stems every tide and torrent; and hurries not as though he were in danger.
He trusteth that he can draw up Jordan - Even when the river overflows its banks, it is no stoppage to him: though the whole impetuosity of its stream rush against his mouth, he is not afraid. Mr. Good has seized the true idea in his translation of this verse: -
"If the stream rage, he revileth not:
He is unmoved, though Jordan rush against his mouth."
From this mention of Jordan it is probable that the behemoth was once an inhabitant of the mountains, marshes, and woods, of the land of Palestine.
He taketh it with his eyes - He looks at the sweeping tide, and defies it.
His nose pierceth through snares - If fences of strong stakes be made in order to restrain him, or prevent him from passing certain boundaries, he tears them in pieces with his teeth; or, by pressing his nose against them, breaks them off. If other parts of the description would answer, this might well apply to the elephant, the nose here meaning the proboscis, with which he can split trees, or even tear them up from the roots! Thus ends the description of the behemoth; what I suppose to be the mastodon or mammoth, or some creature of this kind, that God made as the chief of his works, exhibited in various countries for a time, cut them off from the earth, but by his providence preserved many of their skeletons, that succeeding ages might behold the mighty power which produced this chief of the ways of God, and admire the providence that rendered that race extinct which would otherwise, in all probability, have extinguished every other race of animals! I am not unapprized of the strong arguments produced by learned men to prove, on the one hand, that behemoth is the elephant; and, on the other, that he is the hippopotamus or river-horse, and I have carefully read all that Bochart, that chief of learned men, has said on the subject. But I am convinced that an animal now extinct, probably of the kind already mentioned, is the creature pointed out and described by the inspiration of God in this chapter.
On Job 40:1; of this chapter we have seen, from Mr. Heath's remarks, that the fourteen first verses were probably transposed. In the following observations Dr. Kennicott appears to prove the point. "It will be here objected, that the poem could not possibly end with this question from Job; and, among other reasons, for this in particular; because we read in the very next verse, That after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, etc. If, therefore, the last speaker was not Job, but the Lord, Job could not originally have concluded this poem, as he does at present. "This objection I hold to be exceedingly important; and, indeed, to prove decisively that the poem must have ended at first with some speech from God. "And this remark leads directly to a very interesting inquiry: What was at first the conclusion of this poem? This may, I presume, be pointed out and determined, not by the alteration of any one word, but only by allowing a dislocation of the fourteen verses which now begin the fortieth chapter. Chapters 38, 39, 40, and 41, contain a magnificent display of the Divine power and wisdom in the works of the Creator; specifying the lion, raven, wild goat, wild ass, unicorn, peacock, ostrich, horse, hawk, eagle, behemoth, and leviathan. "Now, it must have surprised most readers to find that the description of these creatures is strangely interrupted at Job 40:1, and as strangely resumed afterwards at Job 40:15; and therefore, if these fourteen verses will connect with and regularly follow what now ends the poem, we cannot much doubt that these fourteen verses have again found their true station, and should be restored to it. "The greatness of the supposed transposition is no objection: because so many verses as would fill one piece of vellum in an ancient roll, might be easily sewed in before or after its proper place. In the case before us, the twenty-five lines in the first fourteen verses of chapter xl. seem to have been sewed in improperly after Job 39:30, instead of after Job 42:6. That such large parts have been transposed in rolls to make which the parts are sewed together is absolutely certain; and that this has been the case here, is still more probable for the following reason: - "The lines here supposed to be out of place are twenty-five, and contain ninety-two words; which might be written on one piece or page of vellum. But the MS. in which these twenty-five lines made one page, must be supposed to have the same, or nearly the same, number of lines in each of the pages adjoining. And it would greatly strengthen this presumption if these twenty-five lines would fall in regularly at the end of any other set of lines, nearly of the same number; if they would fall in after the next set of twenty-five, or the second set, or the third, or the fourth, etc. Now, this is actually the case here; for the lines after these twenty-five, being one hundred or one hundred and one, make just four times twenty-five. And, therefore, if we consider these one hundred and twenty-five lines as written on five equal pieces of vellum, it follows that the fifth piece might be carelessly sewed up before the other four. "Let us also observe that present disorder of the speeches, which is this. In chapters 38 and 39, God first speaks to Job. The end of chapter 39 is followed by, 'And the Lord answered Job and said,' whilst yet Job had not replied. At Job 40:3-5, Job answers; but he says, he had then spoken Twice, and he would add no more; whereas, this was his first reply, and he speaks afterwards. From Job 40:15-41:34 are now the descriptions of behemoth and leviathan, which would regularly follow the descriptions of the horse, hawk, and eagle. And from Job 42:1-6; is now Job's speech, after which we read in Job 42:7, 'After the Lord had spoken these words unto Job!' "Now, all these confusions are removed at once if we only allow that a piece of vellum containing the twenty-five lines, ( Job 40:1-14;), originally followed Job 42:6. For then, after God's first speech, ending with leviathan, Job replies: then God, to whom Job replies the second time, when he added no more; and then God addresses him the third, when Job is silent, and the poem concludes: upon which the narrative opens regularly, with saying, 'After the Lord had spoken these words unto Job,' etc. Job 42:7." - Kennicott's Remarks, p. 161. The reader will find much more satisfaction if he read the places as above directed. Having ended chapter 29, proceed immediately to Job 40:15; go on regularly to the end of Job 42:6, and immediately after that add Job 40:1-14. We shall find then that the poem has a consistent and proper ending, and that the concluding speech was spoken by Jehovah.

FX Metallic Powders are 100% compatible with our FX Poxy Premium Clear and FX Poxy Premium Colored Epoxies, as well as all of our FX Prime Coat Colors. When coating or refinishing your countertop, bartop or table top, use FX Metallic Powders as accent colors on top of your base coat. This adds depth and helps to create a beautiful, natural 3D design. First mix FX Metallic Powders directly into your Premium Clear FX Poxy Epoxy top coat, giving it a translucent effect. Then mix FX Metallic Powders with 91% isopropyl alcohol and spray over the surface in random patterns, creating a granular effect similar to real stone and giving your countertop, bartop or table top an extreme 3D effect. There are 40 colors in all to choose from. You may also combine colors for even more possibilities. For more guidance see our Countertop Instructions Page.
I purchased metallic powders from other sources; your powders offer the best color choices and they are very fine and disperse well in epoxy. Highly recommend.
Our countertop turned out great. Deep color and is awesome.
Gorgeous powders. The most fantastic look is when you mix them with alcohol and spray them over epoxy colored with some base color i.e. light blue or translucent colors over black-base-colored epoxy. Looks cosmic! But probably any dark powder sprayed over light base would be just as awesome. Spray 2-4 colors in moderation over base-colored epoxy and leave it alone and let the magic happen (Spraying too much you might be taking away from it). Also I used the powders to color clear epoxy itself. Very little amount was needed, maybe 4-5 teaspoons per quart and I could create custom colors this way. Completely different and also gorgeous look can be achieved with interwoven base-colored epoxy and a powder-colored epoxy. Word of caution, I wasn't crazy about spraying them over clear epoxy, I would be super careful or stay away from doing that altogether (unless you really know what you're doing). Also,the only color I didn't like was pearl, unlike the other 12 colors I used with no problems, it kept clogging the spray head right from the start, I changed 4 different kinds of bottles and tried further diluting it and still had the same problem, so I figured the problem is with the powder not the bottles. I just never was able to use that particular color for spraying, so might just use it for mixing into epoxy and making veins, the color itself is nice!
At first you are afraid of it, but don't be. It go's a long way. and is amazing.
I found it very easy. I'm going to do my bathroom counter tops.
Colors are very unique and saturate epoxy better than powders sold elsewhere online. Ask questions if need be, their customer service is much better than most.
These metallic powders are absolutely great to work with. I've used charcoal, bronze, blue, brown, turquoise, copper and many others, and everything has turned out awesome.
I love the powders and they actually work well in alcohol and epoxy. The only reason I give this a 4 instead of 5 is because black glitter is terrible. I could. It figure out how to get it to show up. I used it in alcohol as recommended, i put it in epoxy (though not recommended but it wasn't working for me otherwise so I tried it anyways) and also I tried just putting some on the epoxy after I finished but before it was dry. It just looked like black specks. No glitter to it that I could see. I feel I wasted my money on the black glitter as it seems useless in any project. Everything else is incredible and amazingly beautiful when complete. I followed the directions exactly. It was still difficult to get out all the air bubbles.
When I received the Metallic Powders I did not think it was enough to complete the job. after mixing just a little with 2 part epoxy it became very cleat that not much was needed.

OK I literally ordered about 5-10 maternity dresses from asos and nothing worked. Perhaps because right before TG I wasn't "popping", but now I definitely am. I think I'm in a limbo state or perhaps just not a dress person during this time of my life. I don't think I can see my toes unless I lean over AND I was asked when I was due TWICE in one night at the Victorian Streetwalk - CRAZY! I did not expect it to come on that fast and I think that I'll have to get my hands ready to swat away any of those people that try to cop-a-feel. Anywho, the maternity coat didn't work either, but this top did! It is perfection! I know what I'll be wearing to the holiday parties this year! It'll also work after pregnancy for the following holiday season, or even with a cute chambray button down underneath it after. I know I'll be purchasing some pregnancy tanks here shortly (any recs on fav brand/type?!). Thank you in advance!
