Challenging the mythology of US-Indian Treaties
Over the course of 90 years, the US acquired the resources of a continent. Treaties with indigenous nations were essential events in this remarkable growth. What motivated such aggressive expansion, and who benefitted from it most directly?
Men who signed US-Indian treaties for the federal government were on the spot when the resources of a continent entered the US property system. Until now, those men have never been examined as a group – but they were not on the spot by accident. They represented the powerful interests that drove westward expansion and shaped US-Indian policy, often for personal gain.
The US Treaty Signer Project, an initiative of the Indian Land Tenure Foundation, presents information on hundreds of US treaty signers and on the business, family and social networks that connected them. It opens a surprising new window on the assumptions, motivations and mechanisms on which the United States is built.

A window on indigenous political systems
Scores of indigenous nations signed treaties with the US between 1778 and 1870. Each pursued its own objectives in international diplomacy. These diverse nations have distinctive cultures, histories, and languages, and their own traditional political and social structures.
The US-Indian treaties bear more than 10,000 signatures of indigenous representatives. The personal stories of the men and women who provided these signatures are often powerful. What is more, their lives offer a window on the often-complex politics of their nations.
As an aid to researchers, information is provided here on each of the treaty signatures provided by indigenous representatives: the treaty on which the signature appears; names in both tribal and European naming conventions; national affiliation of the signer; and a first attempt to identify multiple signatures that were made by the same person.

Music, dancing and poetry celebrate MLK Day at Cedar Rapids church
A Martin Luther King Day ceremony brought a lot of energy to a Cedar Rapids church on Monday night.
The Cedar Rapids Washington High School Step team performed at the MLK Day celebration at Saint Paul's United Methodist Church. The event had music, poetry, and dance from more than fifteen artists tonight.
One church member at Saint Paul's says this year's event was different from years past, since the church didn't bring in a keynote speaker.
"This time, we decided there are just so many wonderful voices that are thinking about these things, that are active in our community, and so we wanted to incorporate lots of voices in this," said Karla Twedt-Ball.
A handful of choirs and choruses also performed at Monday night's event.

In 1859 the Creighton firm succeeded the firm of E.W.Robinson and Co., and in 1869 Captain Creighton took full charge of the business. In the 1890s the partners were Captain Creighton and his sons, John H. and Charles A. Creighton.
Captain Creighton was born in Warren in 1821 and married Emily Meservey. Early in life he went to sea and became a successful captain. For some years, he built ships with Captain Harvey Mills, not far from the site of his store near the base of Knox Street.
In the last decade of the 19th century, business activities included quarrying and manufacture of lime, the operation of a grist mill and general store. The firm owned horses and wagons by which the rock was brought from the Creighton quarries to the kilns at the bottom of Knox Street. The lime was shipped in casks to NY in the firm's six vessels. The kilns had a capacity of 150,000 casks a year and manufactured about 600 casks/day.

SHP Hockey Loses to Delbarton
On January 13, 2020, the sixth-ranked Pirates faced off against the fifth-ranked Green Wave of Delbarton inside Codey Arena. This game would prove to be symbolic of the bitter rivalry between the two schools. With hard hits and numerous penalties, the matchup showed that the two teams just did not like each other. As for putting the puck in the net, the Pirates had a hard time scoring against the daunting Green Wave defense. The Pirates would have many chances throughout the night to get the puck behind Green Wave goalie Brett Cleaves, however, starting in the first period.
Within the first five minutes of the game, the Pirates were gifted a 5-on-3 for over a minute. As would be the case for both teams, though, the Pirates were not able to capitalize on the power play as they scored no goals with the two man advantage. The Pirates were even able to score during this first period, but a late offside call took the goal off the board. The Green Wave would also have a chance on the power play, but they too were unable to get anything pass Pirate goalie Jake Schunke '22. The first period would end in a score of 0-0.
The second period would be much of the same for the Pirates. They were just unable for most of the night to get any quality shots on net. The Prep would have even more power play opportunities in this period, but would once again fail to score on the man advantage. The first team to score would be the Green Wave, ten minutes and sixteen seconds into the period. Despite great defense by the Pirates within their own zone, forward Ben Conrod of Delbarton was able to get a shot past Schunke on his left side. Although they were down 1-0, the Pirates seemed to be in control for most of the night. They had 27 shots on goal compared to Delbarton's 18. The period would end with a score of 1-0 Delbarton.
Fourteen minutes and 54 seconds into the third period, Delbarton scored again, creating a two goal lead with just five minutes left in the game. Off of a fantastic assist from Ben Conrod, Green Wave forward Trip Pendy scored a breakaway goal in the top corner of the net. This goal was a heart-breaker for the Pirates as a two-goal deficit seemed to be too steep a slope for them to climb. Despite having a multitude of chances, the Pirates were once again shut out in the period until a goal by Pirate forward Brendan Waivada was scored with just one minute remaining in the game. This goal made the final minute interesting, but they were unable to get that equalizing goal. They fell to Delbarton 2-1.
The Pirate season has been up-and-down to begin the year. They are now 6-5-2 with wins over Summit and St. Augustine yet losses to Christian Brothers and now Delbarton. Despite scoring 7 goals in their last game against Hun, the Pirates were unable to get anything going against the Green Wave. The multitude of missed opportunities has to be disappointing as they get deeper into the season, but they also have to use it as motivation. Although they never capitalized, the fact that they had that many opportunities shows that they are able to compete with New Jersey's best.
Looking ahead, the Pirates will have the opportunity to prove to the state that they are to be feared in the postseason. The Prep's next four games are all rematches against teams currently ranked in the top five. They lost 3-1 to first-ranked Christian Brothers on January 15, and then next up are fifth-ranked Delbarton, second-ranked Don Bosco Prep, and third-ranked Gloucester Catholic. This stretch of games will be the most important thus far in the season for Seton Hall. Playing well in these games will not only give them confidence going into the Gordon Cup and state playoffs in February, but will also aid in their seeding for these tournaments with wins.
I am a new writer to the Pirate who enjoys journalism and loves sports.

SoCalGas Joins 2-1-1 Orange County to Launch Internet Site to Help Veterans and their Families Gain Greater Access to Services
LOS ANGELES, March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) has supplied a $30,000 grant to help 2-1-1 Orange County develop and launch an internet site that will help Orange County veterans and their families gain greater access to services, which was announced today at the Orange County Supervisors meeting.
The new portal is connected to 2-1-1 Orange County's extensive database of regional services that include housing, legal assistance, counseling, child care and other services. The portal will serve as a central location for the most current information and relevant services for veterans and their families. 2-1-1 Orange County is also working with the Orange County Veterans and Military Families Collaborative to make sure that area agencies are trained to work specifically with service men and women as they transition back from deployment.
There are about 6,500 veterans returning to Orange County each year with a current total population of 133,000. A recent study funded by the Orange County Community Foundation and conducted by the University of Southern California's Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans and Military Families found that Orange County veterans face significant barriers to finding services and support. The study also highlighted the fact that 44 percent of veterans said they did not know where to find help and that many veterans leave the service without a job, housing and/or services for physical and psychological needs.
"It is troubling to realize that many of the homeless are also veterans," said Todd Spitzer, chairman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. "Expanding the 2-1-1 services to veterans and their families is a big step in the right direction in Orange County's effort to help end homelessness."
"After military life, skilled and resourceful veterans find themselves without health benefits, housing support, and sometimes without a job," said Karen Williams, president and CEO of 2-1-1 Orange County. "There are services and employment opportunities for veterans here at home; however, when re-entering back into society, identifying and securing these resources can be challenging. 2-1-1 Orange County can help provide veterans and their families with needed information to get connected to employment programs, food and utility payment assistance, as well as other resources they may need. Once the new portal is launched, this will allow veterans and their families to navigate the rich resource landscape in Orange County with confidence and anonymity and place necessary information at their fingertips."
"Most people know a veteran who can be helped by services, so we appreciate SoCalGas' help with this new way of providing this information to the public," she added.
"We are proud to help support this access to important information for our Orange County veterans," added Bret Lane, chief operating officer of SoCalGas and also a veteran. "For years, SoCalGas has been a proud supporter of our veteran community. We support our uniformed services employees with a variety of resources and career guidance when they return to work after active duty. We also take part in a variety of efforts to support the veteran community including outreach events, career fairs and training opportunities.

1060 aluminum foil is one of the key materials for lithium batteries:
From the structure of lithium batteries, lithium batteries have a great relationship with aluminum processing. Lithium batteries have four key materials, one aluminum foil and one copper foil, with a diaphragm in the middle, and the rest is electrolyte. The aluminum foil is mostly used in 1060 aluminum foil. Lithium batteries have been slow to develop in recent years. The main reason is that safety and technology are still improving, and the price is relatively expensive. Small products can beat the big market, and now the lithium battery aluminum foil has gradually become a billion-dollar market, and the future trend will become bigger and bigger.
1060 aluminum foil customer purchase volume:
At present, the lithium foil aluminum foil produced by our company has 1060 aluminum foil. At present, the major foreign customers purchase a large amount. Because of its high purity and difficult processing, the general processing enterprises do not have the processing capability, so they are counted as high-end products. 8011 aluminum foil and 1235 aluminum foil are common in customer purchases, and customers are mostly used as cathode materials for lithium battery aluminum foil.
The quality of 1060 aluminum foil produced by Mingtai is outstanding:
As the leading brand of aluminum foil and foil aluminum rolling processing, Mingtai can continue to develop in the fierce competition, relying on the continuous improvement of the preparation and technical level, relying on the artisan technology accumulated in the past 20 years, the quality of 1060 aluminum foil produced. Prominent, constantly improve process management, and win customer trust with quality products.

Mr Dumont said it is necessary that health and aviation officials "work together closely to establish the right set of solutions" to support passenger health while "at the same time not being overly prescriptive". He warned that the introduction of "excess requirements would create an unbearable situation for airlines and their customers" and there is a need for regulators to "promote a unified set of requirements and guidelines related to operating within a pandemic".

Nadar's visit was just one day after Wipro chairman Azim Premji visited RSS founder KB Hedgewar's memorial and paid tribute. Premji visited the samadhi of second RSS chief MS Golwalkar as well. He also met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and reportedly discussed various issues related to the country, society and economy for about half an hour. He had earlier participated in the 'Rashtriya Sewa Sangam', a conclave of NGOs convened by the RSS in 2015. He later said, however, that attending an event does not mean that he is promoting anyone.
Last month, on September 14, industrialist Rahul Bajaj had paid homage to the statue of Hedgewar. He, however, did not visit the Sangh's headquarters, which is nearby.
Tata Sons' former Chairman Ratan Tata, too, visited the Sangh headquarters twice within five months. He also met the Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat during a visit to Nagpur in April this year. In December 2016 also, he had visited the RSS headquarters and, in 2017, he shared the stage with Bhagwat at another event in Mumbai on the birth anniversary of the deceased Sangh leader Nana Palkar.
IANS quoted an RSS official as saying that it has established a 'liaison department', which contacts noted personalities from different regions of the country and invites them to visit RSS.
Nadar, speaking at the RSS function, said that the private sector, citizens and NGOs must resolve challenges together, and that all stakeholders must be involved. "The government alone cannot take the country to the next level; we need equal involvement from all stakeholders," he reportedly said.
Previously, apart from industrialists, President Pranab Mukherjee spoke at the concluding ceremony of a Sangh event last year. Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi too was present at the Vijayadashami festival last year.

Primordia LLC Fights for all U.S. Hemp Farmers
— Primordia Team
By submitting comments to the USDA on revising the restrictive 15-day harvest window we aim to make hemp farming more achievable for America's new industry.
Brawley, CA (June 17th 2020) – PRESS RELEASE
With hemp regulations set to become final at the end of 2020, Primordia and it's network of hemp farmers have decided to push back against the restrictive harvest window proposed by submitting comments to the USDA and the State of California that break down the arbitrary requirement that farmers are only allowed 15 days from the sampling date to harvest their entire crop. You can read the full comments to the USDA here.
Primordia and the Primordia Collective have been executing a large-scale hemp program since the winter of 2019, successfully growing and harvesting over 2500 acres of hemp in the Imperial Valley of California. With registered and research acreage, Primordia's team has seen firsthand how requirements both proposed and established in the Farm Bill and California's law pertaining to hemp put constraints on farmers ability to successfully harvest this new crop. The hemp market is no longer in a gold rush phase and has commoditized rapidly over the last year with price declines as high as 90% year over year, this crash in pricing has made it extremely difficult for farmers to make a profit on their crop and with the new regulations being proposed, additional fees will be levied, harvesting compliance will not be met, and profit margins will evaporate.
The primary reason for this concern is the very tight timeline between the execution of the sampling and the proposed requirement to harvest a compliant field within 15 calendar days of the sampling date. To understand why we are requesting this change, let's start by looking at how the 15-day window poses a significant challenge to successfully harvest a crop within the proposed allotted time period. As you can see, once a sample is taken, it can take up to one week before results are back in the hands of a farmer.
- Breakdown of testing to harvest timeline
- Day 1 – Test ordered and pre-harvest report submitted
- Day 4 – Lab and state liaison's first available appointment time to sample field
- Day 5 – Sample arrives at lab
- Day 5-9 – Standard 3-5 day testing turnaround
- Day 10 – Sample Tested
- Day 11 – Sample results confirmed by lab and uploaded to farmer
- Day 12 – Harvest Begins
- Day 19 – Mandated harvest ending
- Note* Labs are consistently backlogged and may require more than 3-5 days which can create an advantage or disadvantage based on a farmers' geographic location and access to quality labs
This timeline would only allow eight days to harvest a field which, depending on harvest methodology, may not be possible for farmers. With only eight days allotted, "Harvest plans must be drafted perfectly and executed without hiccups, if not, portions of the crop will have to be destroyed. The notion that a farmer can do everything right then have to destroy crop due to missing an arbitrary harvest window is not the way forward for hemp in California or the United States," stated Mark Samuels, Co-Founder of Primordia. The only real way to mitigate this is of course to extend the harvest window to 30 days, or, by breaking up a field into separate blocks, however, this methodology creates a severe cost burden as each block must be tested by laboratories that charge anywhere from $400-600 per test. For a farmer growing significant acreage, these additional fees are not only prohibitive but may erase any profit that may have been achieved.
All told, we believe this restrictive 15-day window is an unfair burden considering the infant stage of the United States' hemp industry, the myriad of idiosyncrasies the hemp plant produces, the inevitable delay of compliance sampling/testing timelines, and the difficulty in developing a complex crop production plan that must be executed perfectly in order to prevent destruction and a 100% loss. It is our opinion that if this rule is not revised there will be several consequences that will disproportionately effect US farmers and businesses:
- Good, compliant hemp crops will be destroyed
- Farmers and businesses will lose tens of millions of dollars due to the inability to harvest within the allotted window, reducing much needed revenue for this new industry
- New investment will be placed in other countries where compliance standards make successful farming more achievable
- The cost burden to sample and test hemp crops will be extremely high for mid to large scale farmers, making the US less competitive
We implore the USDA, State of California, the CDFA, and the OAL to reconsider the restrictive harvest window proposed and to revise the language of sections II:B, 4940 and 4946 to allow farmers 30 days from the sampling date to harvest their fields. "This is a simple change that will lead to more farming jobs and successful, compliant hemp crops in the State of California and the US, a win for all involved," stated Grant Mitchell, CEO of Primordia, "we are here to answer any additional questions and to further detail the points above." Primordia is looking forward to a positive response from the USDA and we ask all hemp farmers and businesses across the country to support this effort by sharing these comments to their network.

Pink Digital Photo Keychain {review}
Just the other day my husband and I were discussing digital photo products such as the those nifty frames that you can either hang on your wall or display nicely on a table. We were discussing the pros and cons and also how they make the perfect gift on such occasions like Mother's Day which is coming up this weekend in fact!
If you don't have the means to purchase one of those fancy digital photo frames there are other options such as keychains! I was given the opportunity to review a Digital Photo keychain from Whole Sale Keychains and I must say that I am quite impressed with the quality.
I recieved a pink digital photo keychain with an added engraving to make the gift a little more personal to me to review. I choose to have two of my favorite Bible verses added which are Proverbs 31 and Psalms 127:3. The engraving in my opinion looks very professional and of high quality.
The keychain isn't that big as it's only 1.5 inch featuring a 128×128 LCD display. It's just the right size to add to your keyring, purse, backpack, or wherever you find it most convenient to place it. Mine is going to be residing on my keyring where I can easily pull it out to share with others and to look through my photos when I so feel the urge.
The keychain comes with a USB cord and an instruction manual which basically runs you through how everything works. This product is pretty no brainer! Once you plug your keychain in to the usb cord into your computer to charge you are also brought to photo view software in which you can easily add photos as well as zoom, resize, and adjust being able to save them in numerous graphic formats to fit your needs. I was please to see that this product can hold well over 150 photos with it's 4.8 mb of internal memory!
The quality of your photos on the key chain look pretty decent for the price. I tried to take a picture to show you but to no avail. It's really hard to take a good quality photo of a screen! I've found that the battery life of this keychain goes by pretty quick if you leave it on the slide show view but if you just use the option where you can rotate through photo yourself the key chain is know to last a whole month before you have to charge it again with the included USB cord. You don't always have to display your photos either, you can also leave your key chain on the clock or calendar mode.
I'm very happy with this product! It's real steal in my opinion for just 9.99 and with the added engraving for only 5.99 more! They come in multiple colors and styles! Father's Day is coming up soon and how surprised Dad would be if you loaded pictures of the kids on one beforehand and surprised him with it! Oh, and it's not to late to get one for mom either!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com created by WebBizIdeas a Minneapolis SEO and Web Design firm. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions 16 CFR, Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

The entire investment business of HICL Infrastructure PLC (the "Company") was transferred from HICL Infrastructure Company Limited ("HICL Guernsey") to the Company on 1 April 2019, by way of a scheme of arrangement as detailed in the Prospectus dated 4 March 2019. To enable an improved assessment of the Company's investment business comparative data in Section 1 (for the six months to 30 September 2018, and as at 31 March 2019) relates to HICL Guernsey, being the owner of HICL's investment business until 1 April 2019. All financial information from 1 April 2019 relates to the Company. Financial information in Section 2 represents the half year financial statements of HICL Infrastructure PLC, prepared in accordance with IFRS, and therefore incorporates the comparatives of the Company only. Throughout "HICL" means HICL Infrastructure Company Limited up to and including 31 March 2019 and HICL Infrastructure PLC from 1 April 2019.
The Board of HICL Infrastructure PLC announces Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2019.

- New target dividend guidance is given for the financial year ending 31 March 2022 of 8.65p per share1, reflecting the Board's confidence in the resilience of the long-term forecast cash flows from HICL's portfolio.
- Portfolio optimisation remains a core focus, with two accretive investments and two strategic disposals delivering improvements in the Company's key portfolio metrics.
- With a total return featuring strong inflation correlation, low sensitivity to deposit rate changes and a low correlation to UK GDP, HICL's portfolio provides a measure of mitigation against ongoing political uncertainty in the UK.
- The infrastructure asset class continues to hold unique attractions for yield investors in a low interest rate environment; and HICL has market-leading, differentiated characteristics such as low single asset concentration, a well-diversified portfolio and a pipeline of opportunities for growth.
- Steady share price progression over the period has seen the Company's shares move to a healthy premium to Net Asset Value reflecting renewed appetite for yield as a low interest rate environment persists; the increasing relevance of investments such as HICL that have a meaningful sustainability profile; and a more supportive political backdrop in the UK.

My Response to Dgraph Core Values
First, I want to say that I love this document! This is a great thing to see for a project and a community. I see too many projects with great promise that don't define the vision. This document is the vision of the Dgraph company and the way that you develop software, and all of these concepts will directly affect Dgraph and any other products you deliver. I love the points that you make here.
This is far to often sacrificed for the fact that a tool "technically works". "Works" is not good enough! If a tool "does the job" but no user can manage to make it do the job then that doesn't count. User experience is crucial.
Exactly! I have seen a project where new features were what took priority and the issue was that users were constantly running into "this one bug" that rendered all the bells and whistles useless. It is essential for users to actually be able to use your product, and beyond that, enjoy using your product. That attitude will create devoted users out of people that may have otherwise used your project just because they had to or because it "did the job".
Thank you! I think that, as engineers, we often get lost in the engineering when what really matters is creating solutions to real problems. A simple solution is leaps and bounds better than a complicated solution that solves the same problem. Don't engineer for the sake of engineering. Keeping things simple will give you more time to actually make a difference, and that is what brings user value.
Yes. Freedom to experiment and try new things helps people be creative and you never know when someone might come up with something great.
This is important. Not being clear about you think or wasting time on unproductive discussion will not be a benefit to anybody. Honesty is important to being able to efficiently collaborate and get stuff done.
Dgraph Enterprise-only Features
You guys are totally saying alot the things that me and my company have been talking about for a while now and it is really cool to see. Now I want to make an appeal to the number 1 point in your core values: Be Open Source.
Before I start I want to say that I completely respect your business model decisions. You have to maintain your business and decide how you want to do that. Still, it appears that this is a place where the community has a voice and so I want to make a case for the Open Sourcing of the current enterprise-only features, knowing that if the Dgraph Core Values are diligently upheld, I will get a fair hearing.
Hindrence to Inclusion in Other Open Source Projects
One thing that prevents me from wanting to use Dgraph is the fact that I want to include it as a part of the stack in other Open Source projects that target enterprises. The particular project in my case is an enterprise orchestration GUI. Having a database, though, that requires a commercial license to access features such as database backups and ACL would really be detrimental to that tool.
Another inhibitor is that the other tools in the ecosystem don't require commercial licenses to access any features, so adding a new tool to the ecosystem that requires an enterprise license would not fit very well with the rest of the ecosystem which otherwise allowed for any scale deployments without commercial licenses.
Even if I were comfortable with purchasing a commercial Dgraph license for a single use-case in my own company, I would not want to force users of an Open Source application that I develop to purchase licenses, regardless of their scale.
Extra Difficulty When Selling to Legacy Enterprises
I have a colleague with lots of experience working in big, legacy enterprises, and there is a lot of red tape that you have to go through to get anything changed, especially when that change costs money. If I can take an Open Source tool, create a solution with it, and start using it without having to tell the enterprise that I need money to do it, it will be much easier to get the clearance to do so. If I can get that solution stood up and working, the enterprise can then decide that they want to pay for support for the tool because they have it deployed and running at large scale and they want to make sure it keeps working.
This is a bigger deal the more components that make up the application stack. Modern applications can require many different components and if every component needed an enterprise license that would add up drastically. Can big businesses afford it? Maybe. But it is barrier to adoption when a cost is required just to use the tool. If the business can adopt it without cost and they love it, then I believe that most will come back for support once they are using it.
Poisoning Future Development At the User's Expense
A very relevant quote from the CockroachDB License Change Announcement:
Another option we considered was adopting a three-tier model: open source core, enterprise components, and a middle ground of features that are not open source but available at no cost. This is a popular model, and more or less the model we have had up until today.
However, this creates bad incentives for our company. It creates pressure to avoid creating new features in the core and do as much work as possible in the non-open-source components. Basically, we would be tempted to sell our core users short by permanently putting our most exciting features behind an enterprise license. If you squint towards the horizon, this model does not bode well for the open source ecosystem.
This is what I'm afraid of for Dgraph. For instance, database backups seem like a pretty core feature to me. Yes maybe the Export feature is a fine enough stand-in, but it still feels wrong to me. This is just my impression and you do not have an invalid business strategy in any respect, but I think that it has a negative impact on users.
CockroachDB went with a license that permitted full use of the database for anything except hosting the database commercially as a service. I think this is a great model. It allows you to build your business by offering your product as a service and you can still offer professional support for enterprises. Everyone has access to use and improve all of the features, but large and small businesses can get support and/or hosting to make the Dgraph business sustainable.
My Background
I am the Chief Technology Lead at Katharos Technology and at KatharosTech we build pretty much our entire company's technology on Open Source software. We don't have support for any of it because we are starting out and we know how to manage our software ourselves. We want to be able to use tools and deploy them highly available if necessary without having to get licenses for all of the software we use.
Even if we don't want to pay for support now, to keep costs down in an environment where we can manage things ourselves, that doesn't mean that we won't one day scale to a point where having support would be worth the cost. And if we implement a tool for one of our Digital Transformation consulting clients it would be easier to tell them that they can do anything with the tool without paying for it, but that they can get enterprise support if they want to pay for it.
Closing Thoughts
If you got this far, thanks for reading! Regardless of what you guys decide on, I respect your decision. I'm extremely interested in Dgraph after looking into it just for one day, but at this point I don't know that I would deploy it for the Open Source projects I'm working because of the license. I hope that this feedback is useful even if you guys don't change anything. Keep up the good work! I think you're doing an amazing job.

Airlines, Consumer Groups Ready for Fight Over Proposed Bill
by DAVID KOENIG, AP Airlines Writer | August 07, 2018
As summer vacationers start to pack up and head home, Congress is considering a sweeping tally of proposals that could affect travelers, from dictating seat size and legroom to rolling back rules that require airlines to advertise the full price of a ticket.
The current law authorizing operations of the
Federal Aviation Administration
expires on Sept. 30.
Sen. John Thune (R-South Dakota)
, chairman of the
Senate Commerce Committee
, is working to bring his panel's bill for a five-year reauthorization to the Senate floor after a series of delays. The
House passed its version of the same bill
in April.
Consumer advocates see victories and setbacks among the provisions in the two bills.
• Airline seats: The House bill would give the FAA a year to set minimums for seat width and length and the distance between rows, although it didn't set specific measurements. The version approved by a Senate committee would only direct FAA to study whether there should be minimum requirements for the distance between rows.
The room between rows -- measured from a point on one seat to the same point on the seat in the next row -- has been shrinking for many years as airlines squeeze more seats onto their planes. It was once commonly 34 or 35 inches, and is now under 30 inches on some planes.
Some safety advocates say the tighter fit makes it harder for passengers to evacuate in an emergency. The FAA has declined a consumer group's request to impose regulations, putting the issue in Congress's hands.
• Advertised prices.
Consumer groups scored a hard-fought victory in 2012, when the Obama administration required airlines to include government taxes and fees in the advertised price of a ticket. Airlines opposed the rule then, and they lobbied the House to include a provision in its FAA bill that would roll back the requirement.
"Consumers need to know the full cost of travel," said Charles Leocha, president of
Travelers United
. "Taking a step back to allowing the airlines to advertise airfares without mandatory taxes and fees will be a major step toward allowing deceptive and misleading airfares."
• Extra fees.
The Senate bill would prohibit airlines from charging "unreasonable" ticket-change or cancellation fees. The Transportation Department also would set standards for other fees to make sure they reflect the airline's actual cost for providing extra service. Airlines raised more than $7.4 billion last year from fees on checked baggage and cancellations.
The restriction was proposed by a pair of Senate Democrats over strong objections by the airline lobby. Sharon Pinkerton, a senior vice president at the trade group
Airlines for America
, called it a first step toward returning to the pre-1978 era when the federal government set airline prices.
• Overbooked flights.
The House would ban airlines from bumping passengers from overbooked flights once they have boarded the plane. The provision was inspired by the 2017 incident in which a passenger was dragged off a United Express plane to make room for a late-arriving airline employee. In response to the criticism, airlines have cut overbooking to their lowest level in at least two decades.
• Online travel agencies.
Both the House bill and the Senate's committee-approved version would require online travel agencies like Expedia and Orbitz to tell consumers about things like extra fees and changes in airline schedules. Vaughn Jennings, a spokesman for the airline trade group Airlines for America, said the online agencies "shouldn't be exempt from consumer-protection standards that customers experience on airline websites."
Steve Shur
, president of a trade group that includes the online ticket sellers, said airlines don't always give his companies that kind of information. He called the proposals a veiled effort to drive them out of the air-travel business and reduce competition for the airlines.
• Disruptive passengers.
The House bill would let airline employees block passengers from going through security screening or getting on a plane if the employee accuses them of verbal or physical assault. Passengers would be held up until police could sort things out. A union that represents airline employees lobbied for the provision.
There are many other provisions in the bills, including some that are opposed by safety experts. Pilot unions are fighting against a trial to test the idea of letting cargo airlines use one pilot instead of two. The unions say that in an emergency, one pilot could be more easily overwhelmed.
An even more controversial idea would reduce the number of hours that someone must fly to become an airline co-pilot. It's in the bill approved by Thune's committee but not in the House version.
Congress raised the minimum from 250 hours to 1,500 hours after 50 people died in a 2009 accident near Buffalo, New York. The
Regional Airline Association
, whose members operate smaller planes flying under the banners of American Eagle, Delta Connection and United Express, say the requirement has created a pilot shortage. The RAA supports Thune's proposal to let pilots count time on certain types of training in a classroom or a flight simulator toward the 1,500 hours.
Families of those who died in the
2009 Colgan Air crash
have fought against the RAA. They note that after Colgan, there were no fatal accidents involving U.S. airliners until a woman was killed on a Southwest flight in April.
"The RAA and others will continue to try any maneuver to water this down. It's sad," said Scott Maurer, whose daughter Lorin was on the Colgan plane. "In their eyes it's not about safety, it's about their business profits."
If the Senate acts on the FAA bill, any differences from the House version would need to be settled before a final measure goes to President Donald Trump. If Congress can't agree, lawmakers could pass a scaled-back, short-term extension to keep FAA functioning.

text: Arts And Crafts Tips To Get Started Have you always wanted to be an artist? Does crafting intrigue you? Have you never really tried to do anything creative for fear of failing? Well, put an end to that right now. This article has the basic information you need to get started with any arts and crafts. Keep reading to find out more. You can use many different things for arts and crafts. Paper items that are usually disposable work great. Toilet paper or towel rolls are excellent supplies. Even old newspapers or pictures from magazines are easy to get creative with. Make good, interesting use of items you might otherwise discard. Get your kids involved with your next arts and crafts project. Kids love to learn and play, and a cool family project will do all that and more. It makes for an exceptional bonding experience between your and you little one. The child gets to learn from you, and you can have some smiles and laughs along the way! Keep an eye out for straight sticks while you are outdoors. Sticks make for some excellent arts and crafts materials. You can build a foundation with them. You can use them for flags. You can even whittle them down so that you can paint them unique colors. They make for fun supplies to get creative with. Don't forget to take care of your face when doing crafts and arts. Have a pair of safety goggles and even a filter breathing mask available. You never know when you'll hit a project step that involves things you don't to inhale or have in your eyes. Always protect yourself. To get your kids ready for some fun watercolor time at the kitchen table, put down a layer of newspaper or a plastic tablecloth first. This protects your kitchen table and lets your kids' creativity go wild, and you're not stressing out about paint staining the table for years to come. When teaching a child about arts and crafts, make sure you also teach them about organization and cleanup. crafts and Arts isn't just about the act of making. It's about the entire process, and that includes the less fun aspects too. Never let your child walk away from a project without having picked up beforehand. Ornamentea offers crafters the perfect place to find all of their jewelry making supplies. Ornamentea offers a wide range of colors in their leather cording at an affordable price. You will also find a wide selection of tutorials to help you take your jewelry making to the next level. Many people used to have to subscribe to magazines or buy books to get patterns and ideas to get ideas for crafting. But the internet has changed all of that because you can now find thousands of ideas on the internet for free. Be sure and add your own ideas and projects to share with others as well. Be mindful of weather conditions when it comes to arts and crafts. A rainy day might seem like the perfect time to do crafts and arts indoors, either alone or with the kids. However, if there are steps like spray painting involved, those are usually better done outside unless you have a well-ventilated garage. Go through your crafts and arts materials every month or so to make sure that you do not have anything on hand that is not usable. Toss out everything that you have no use for and it will keep your craft space free of clutter. It will also make it easier to find the materials you need when you start a project. To keep your children safe when they are making craft projects, use white school glue and glue sticks rather than rubber cement. While the cement makes a strong adhesive, the fumes that come from the open jar can give little ones headaches and are ultimately toxic. Keep your children safe with a gentler adhesive. Turn arts and crafts into a play date for the kids in your neighborhood. The adults together too, though this is an excellent way to not only bring the children together! It builds a community out of your neighborhood, and that's hard to do. You can make it something that happens every month. If you enjoyed art class while you were in school, you can use your natural ability to create wall art for your home. A visit to your local art and craft supply store will give you ideas and provide you with any materials you need. The only other thing you will need is a little inspiration and some time to be creative. crafts and Arts projects make perfect gifts. You can make fun projects that are useful for different people in your life. Look online to get some great ideas if you don't know what to make. People love homemade gifts and will appreciate something that took effort and time from you. Do not start working on an arts and crafts project unless you are confident about your skills. Do some research about the projects you are interested in to make sure you have all the necessary tools and skills. If you run into unforeseen difficulties, you will end up feeling frustrated and give up on your project. Have the kids make your pet a crafty food or water dish for the holidays. You can use any type of bowl and many different supplies to do whatever your mind creates. Your pet will have a one-of-a-kind dish! The hobby of arts and crafts is even better when you are able to make practical items for around the house. You can create your own decor elements, such as cushions, blinds, flower pots or even picture frames. These are useful items, that also make great presents for the people in your life. Have no idea where to begin, although is knitting something you want to try? Relax, there are plenty of books that show you how to make easy stitches and highly advanced ones too. You can teach yourself anything by studying the pictures, and reading the instructions. You may have wondered why so many people like crafts. After reading it you should understand why so many people enjoy this hobby, however.

Domain Name Ideas – How to Find a Good Domain Name
Where do you get your domain name ideas from? Your friends? Your family? Your dog?
We've launched several sites, and coming up with a good domain name is always difficult. It seems all of the good ones are taken. There are two basic strategies that people use.
- Come up with a new domain name that isn't already registered.
- Go after a domain name that was previously owned. (This is always the more expensive option because you are either buying a premium domain name, or buying an expired domain name on auction.)
Right now, we're going to focus on the first method and try to come up with a new domain name that isn't already registered.
This is the cheapest option, but it involves trial and error. There are a lot of free online tools out there that can help suggest good domain name ideas. Some of these tools are run by the registrars (i.e. GoDaddy, NetWork Solutions, etc) and some of these tools are run by independent websites (i.e. MakeWords.com). But they're all free.
Basically, you type in the domain name you want. The online tool will tell you if the domain name is available, or it will suggest a list of other domain names that you might be interested in. They come up with the list by adding words before (prefix) or after (suffix) your search term.
- For example, Google.com is taken, but hotGooglestore.com is not.
Some of the better domain name idea tools will use a thesaurus to come up with similar but different words. Although we probably wouldn't buy a domain name from Yahoo, we did like their domain name tool.
- For example, redcafe.com is taken, but RedDiner.com is not.
MakeWords.com is a neat tool because they have an advanced keyword tool search that lets you choose different themes of words to try before or after your search term.
- So, for example, their "action" theme tries different combinations of your search term and words like jump, shout, cut, etc.
- Their colors theme adds words like red, blue, yellow… You get the idea.
The best part of MakeWords is that you can create your own list of words to add to your search term. Just click on "list of affixes" at the bottom of the webpage and enter in a custom list of words that you like. The website will spit out a bunch of domain name ideas with your custom words added before and after your search term.
The worst part of MakeWords is that sometimes it'll tell you a domain name is available, but when you go to a registrar and try to buy it, it turns out that it's not available after all. Because this tool wasn't always reliable, we tended to stick with domain name generators run by the registrars.
How These Sites Make Money:
Domain Name Suggestion sites are free because they make their money when you decide to register a domain name with them.
- Chances are, if you used GoDaddy's domain name tool, then when you find your dream domain name, you'll just buy it from them.
- If you used MakeWords, you can choose which registrar company that you want to buy from, and they'll send you there with the click of a link. (If you buy from that company, then MakeWords.com will make a commission from the sale.)
Bottom Line: Use any site that you like to come up with domain name ideas. But, when you're ready to buy, choose the registrar that offers the best domain name package and price, not the registrar that has the best domain name suggestions.
Why? Because with domain names, the price ranges from $1.99 to $34.99 per year. And, not all registrars offer the same quality of service. What's worse is there are no refunds on domain names. Once you pay, the money is gone. So, buyer beware.
