Growing up as a young comic book collector in the mid 1990s, there were few people to talk to about comics. This was just as the internet was becoming public, but still quite a ways off before I would gain access to it in 1998. Out of a group of peers, there were three or four other known people who read comic books, but the majority opted for the likes of Spider-Man, the X-Men and Spawn; arguably far more popular to a then pre-teen than this editorialists favourite, Superman. Superman, despite the sales spike caused by the "Death of Superman" storyline, was decidedly uncool, which in a way made the character all the more special. A close friend took to liking Superboy as an alternative to Superman, and started collecting that title. This was in late 1994 or early 1995, so the Post-Crisis Superboy was still only a couple years old at this point, one driven home by the fact he still had no other name than Superboy!
Co-creators Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett were the stewards of this new Superboy for the first three or so years, giving us a number of characters, concepts and storylines that continue to be favourites to this day. This curated list, honours that, and mostly focuses on the first Kesel/Grummett run from 1993-1996. Some decent concepts came after that, and some questionable characterizations, but for anyone wanting to see this character in his original interpretation, these stories do it:
Adventures of Superman (Volume 1) 501
The first appearance of the Post-Crisis Superboy. Clone of the recently deceased Superman, he is one of four mysterious pretenders that have appeared in Metropolis. This single issue within the "Reign of the Supermen" storyline from 1993 nearly acts as a backdoor pilot to what the Kid's first series would be. The majority of the elements, from Tana Moon, Roxy and Rex Leech and even the introduction of a new Krypto, would be established in this funny, fast paced, yet still thoughtful single issue.
Superboy: Trouble in Paradise TPB
This collection from a couple years ago collects roughly the first year of Superboy's solo series under Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett. The majority of characters Superboy would interact with throughout their run are introduced, including King Shark, for fans of that particular character. The majority of the collection is done by Tom Grummett, but the odd fill-in still manages to fit-in with the overall youthful tone of the book. This is Superboy just his first steps out as an independent being, and that's eventually going to have ramifications on him and those around him.
Superboy/Robin: World's Finest Three
This two issue prestigious format mini-series is one that slips under the radar of most comic book fans, yet should not be overlooked. Co-written between Karl Kesel and Chuck Dixon, this story features the first meeting and team-up between Superboy and the third Robin, Tim Drake. Comic book fans have for years, taken for granted the friendship that developed between the Boy of Steel and the Boy Wonder, but it was one that did not occur in either of their solo series.
Facing off against Metallo and Poison Ivy, it is your typical superhero crossover fair, but still enjoyable, and even if the story does not grab you, the Tom Grummett artwork will surely make up for it!
Superboy (Volume 4) Annual 2 (November 1995)
Superboy (Volume 4) 0 gave early glimpses into Superboy's origin back in 1994 (and is collected in Superboy: Trouble in Paradise TPB), but it is this 1995 "Year One" branded annual that gives readers more detail into the first days of Superboy's existence. Readers finally learn of the human donor to Superboy's creation (only to later be retconned in an unforgivable way by another writer), Cadmus is revealed to be operating after being presumed destroyed, and this half origin/half birthday tale gives the reader some rather poignant moments of a teenager already unsure of his place in the world, facing new revelations about his identity.
While Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett would return to the title a second time a few years later, their wackier take during their follow-up was not embraced by the entire fandom, and they left shortly after; closing out a lot characters and arcs that they had first developed in the process. Subsequent writers would not do the character particular justice, and by the end of the 2000s the Superboy most of us had been introduced was mostly gone; a complicated set of retcons and mischaracterization ultimately resulted in the character really losing its shine. There is hope that this list might remind the reader of a time when the Metropolis Kid took on the legacy of Superboy, and made it something truly unique.

NORAD set to track Santa
You can track Santa's flight this Christmas Eve, all thanks to a little military grade technology.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, is once again tracking the Jolly Elf's journey. This marks the 61st year the defense command has tracked the trip.
"I think it's neat," said Sandi Taylor, of Prattville. She plans on tracking St. Nick with her grandchildren. "It's all done in fun."
Fun is often not a word used to describe NORAD's primary purpose. Formed during the height of the Cold War, the agency used radar and then satellites to serve as an early warning system for communist nuclear attacks.
Winter forecast: Average temps, drier than normal
The Santa website, www.noradsanta.org, has a virtual tour of Santa's North Pole workshop as well as a countdown for the big night, along with games and activities. The site is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese. NORAD Tracks Santa apps are also available in the Windows, Apple and Google Play stores, so parents and children can use smart phones and tablets to track Santa.
Starting on Christmas Eve at 1:01 a.m. Central Standard Time, visitors to the website can watch Santa making preparations for his flight. Santa cams will stream videos on the site as Santa makes his way over different locations across the world.
The decades long effort started innocently enough. In 1955, a local advertisement directed children to call Santa direct, but there was a misprint. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone rang to the crew commander on duty at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center. NORAD continued the tradition when the agency was formed in 1958.

As discussed in an earlier post, Louisiana lawyers should not allow users to display endorsements for "Skills & Expertise" that have been noted by other LinkedIn subscribers. While such "endorsements" seem innocuous enough, they raise two potential disciplinary compliance problems that a lawyer should consider before accepting and displaying them on a profile page.
So, how do you remove such endorsements from your LinkedIn page? My friend Ernie Svenson over at PaperlessChase.com has a short and helpful video on the topic, which is embedded below:

Trump followers are something like christian mohammedans. They want power, they want control over your life and your thoughts. If neccessary with deadly force. They want the U.S.A. to be a christian Iran.
America has to fight them and to wipe them out like you fight cancer or wipe out a pest. Because they won't come to their senses. They are blinded by hate and their own ambition to be above society and to enslave all others. Qanon is the ISIS of America.
You only have three choices with Trump and his supporters:
1. Lock them up. (Most of them a criminals anyway, Trump included)
2. Ban them from your country's soil. Exile them as outcasts. Enemies of democracy that they are.
3. Wipe them out. Let them take the first blow, then blow back harder and anihilate them. If you try to hug them for peace and brotherhood they will stab you in the back.
The ones burning books and demanding everyone bow to their totalitarian authority are the Left, as usual. Burn, loot, murder and Antifa are the Left in America. But they only riot and loot in cities that don't allow guns. It's why only big cities get hit. Makes the news but is meaningless. I know how much you hate the truth but America is doing just fine and will continue to do just fine. I've been reading the hate America BS for decades now and have no worries. Now non American countries where only the Government has guns… those people i worry about.

Commercial Building Ripped apart by Hurricane Michael
After Hurricane Michael made landfall in Panama City Fl, on October 10th 2018 local SERVPRO franchise owners found their newly purchased and remodeled building destroyed. To their dismay the reconstruction would have to start all over. As the weeks wore on and the work seemed endless, the sorting and demolition began and shortly thereafter Reconstruction Manager Keith Gosney could start the rebuild phase. With supplies and resources limited Keith's chosen team did a fantastic job of rebuilding the new home of SERVPRO of Bay County. Not only are owners Sean and Kellie Grier happy but the entire team is thankful.

High conversion on the site can be a consequence of user usability and depends on many factors. For example, a web project can have a perfect design but not give the right conversion level. Why? Often the reason is mistakes made in the design process.
The unprofessional content of the site nullifies all the tremendous efforts made by webmasters who created the site, its design, and the use of modern multimedia capabilities. For some reason, it believes that writing content can handle a secretary or sales manager. But the content of the Internet project is the basis for the subsequent interaction of the site with search engines.
The most common mistakes that interfere with the regular operation of the site:
- Bad search engine optimization. Visitors of a site do not become interested in the site's services. It can be just competitors. Here you need to work on identifying and engaging the target audience.
- The information is off-topic. A potential buyer is looking for specific information about its properties, quality, and composition. Competent content will also describe the benefits that the customer will receive when buying this product.
- Information overload. If the text is large and contains a lot of "water", the visitor will find it challenging to navigate and make the right decision. On the other hand, the page should contain the optimal amount of content – you need to look for the middle ground.
- There are no motivating words. It is not a trifle. Often customers leave the site so nothing and without ordering, just because they were not offered it. Make it easier for potential buyers to make a decision – directly push it to the necessary action. These can be: "buy now", "call," and other words of appeal.
- Illiterate arrangement of accents. The stylish design does not guarantee that all the necessary elements are installed in the optimal place. Therefore, it makes sense to analyze the placement of parts and change them if necessary.
- There are no materials that would win the trust of potential buyers. Yet, it is an essential aspect. The visitor wants to be provided with complete information about the seller, company location, contacts, and directions. In addition, it is necessary to place on the site qualitatively fulfilled pages of responses from clients, the page "About the company". Each of these materials increases the degree of trust of a potential buyer to the site-seller.
All methods of site promotion have their particular advantages. But choosing one, even the most effective way, will not bring the desired effect. This is a rule with no exceptions. Therefore, there is a reason to think in advance about a set of actions to promote your project. Of course, experienced and highly qualified specialists will best cope with this responsible task.

Resignation letter due to low salary problem (5 samples)
In this brief guide, we will look at some resignation letters due to low salary problems.
Resignation letters due to low salary problem Sample 1
In this resignation letter due to a low salary problem, the employee doesn't beat around the bush or say too many things, they mention in a crisp and to the point what the issue is and the decision they have made regarding the problem.
They also include the Human resources department as a Cc, and this kind of letter may be sent via email as well.
[Employer name]
]Company Name]
[Company Address]
Dear [Employer name]
This notice is to let you know that I must respectfully resign my position here at (company,) effective (date.)
It has been my pleasure to work for (company) over the last (amount of time). However, due to unforeseen financial circumstances coupled with my current salary, I am unable to meet my basic living expenses. Therefore, I must seek employment elsewhere.
I appreciate all that this company has offered me and I wish you the best of luck in the future.
[Your Name]
cc: name of H/R supervisor"
Resignation letter due to low salary problem sample 2
In this resignation letter for a low salary problem, the person expresses candidly why they are leaving, and reassure the employer that it is strictly about the compensation and they do that in a concise manner.
Employers are aware of the fact that the current economic conditions can be brutal in the workforce, and usually when someone wants to quit for better pay or better benefits the employers understand well.
"[Your Name]
[Your Telephone Contacts]
[Your e-mail address]
[Human Resource Manager]
[Company Address]
[Company Telephone Contacts]
[Company e-mail address]
Dear [employer]
I draft this letter intending to notify you of my intention to quit your organization as I have found better pay and compensation elsewhere. My last day to work for you shall be on [date]
Since I have enjoyed every bit of my time here, I could not turn this opportunity down. The paid vacations and sick times, vision, and dental insurances were too juicy for me to let go of.
I hope that you shall understand and bear with the situation. Kindly accept my sincere gratitude for all the time and resources you have accorded me in your organization.
It will be my pleasure to assist with the transition as well as handling any questions that my departure might trigger.
Many thanks in advance for understanding,
Best regards,
Resignation letter due to low salary problem sample 3
In this resignation letter sample, the person uses slightly more vague language to indicate that they are receiving better benefits or compensation elsewhere and have therefore decided to leave.
One need not always mention the various things they will be receiving at another job and for this reason they need to leave, in some cases using phrasing like the following letter may also do the job just fine.
"To: e-mail address
Subject: Resignation due to better salary and benefits
Dear [employer]
I would wish to let you know that I shall step down from the current position with your organization with effect from [Date]. That is because I have got greener pastures elsewhere, which I could not forfeit since I have enjoyed my time here.
It is with great pleasure that I thank you for the personal and professional development you have accorded me over the four years. Indeed, the bonds and relations I have nurtured here, I shall live to cherish for time to come.
Kindly let me know in what ways I may be of assistance and support to you in the transition period. I am more than willing and ready to be of further assistance for a limited duration after my departure.
Please use my email address and telephone contacts for any future correspondence.
Resignation letter due to low salary problem sample 4
In this next sample of a resignation letter due to low salary, the person is not addressing the low salary issue per se, instead, talking about what alternate employment they are moving towards.
This is an option a lot of people choose to take instead of going out and saying that they are quitting for better compensation as they feel more comfortable not discussing the possibility that they might be coaxed into staying.
"{your name}
{your position}
{home address}
{Email address}
{Telephone number}
{Mobile number}
{Name of the recipient}
{name of the company}
Subject: Resignation Letter
Dear [employer name],
I,[your name] do hereby send you this letter as notification that I would like to file for resignation effective on [date]. This is because I need to go back to my home country and start a new small business as [reason]. I am sending you this letter as part of the company policy that we give our notice at least two weeks before the effective date. Thank you for the help you have offered me and I appreciate everything I learned from this job and from the people around me. I will make sure I finish all my tasks before I leave and I am also willing to assist you to find my replacement, and you can contact me on the information I provided for this or any other help you need during the transition period.
Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
Respectfully yours,
{Typed name}."
Resignation letter due to low salary problem sample 5
In this resignation letter due to a low salary, the person makes sure it is short and yet includes all the necessary details one needs as an employer to be aware of why the employee is leaving.

Subject: Resignation letter
Dear [employer name]
I am sorry to inform you that I have decided to resign from my position as a computer programmer in order to seek a more rewarding position elsewhere. This resignation must become effective no later than two weeks from today's date.
I have concluded that my contributions here are unrewarded and my ideas ignored. I have much to offer and feel frustrated that I am consistently passed over for special projects. It is important for me to work for a company that encourages creativity rather than restricts it. Although your compensation has been fair, you have been unable to provide other types of incentives that I need.
Nevertheless, my time here has not been wasted. I have gained experience and have honed my skills. I have worked with a dedicated group that has earned my respect and admiration. I sincerely wish co-workers well in their future endeavors.
Because you have indicated that my work is excellent, I would appreciate a positive recommendation from you should any prospective employers inquire about my qualifications. If you feel you are unable to satisfy this request, I would sincerely value an opportunity to discuss with you any reservations you may have.

The load torque of the DC gear motor has a direct relationship with the speed and current. The speed decreases with the increase of the load and the current increases linearly. When selecting specifications, try to work near its maximum efficiency point to obtain the ideal operating performance, work life and characteristics stability.
Generally, the use environment of the DC gear motor is the same as the micro -DC motor. If there are special needs, such as environmental temperature, overload conditions, current limits, etc., it must be explained in advance.
The working life of the gear box generally exceeds the working life of DC motor and can usually reach 1,000 to 3,000 hours. The total deceleration ratio of the gear box is generally in the range of 1:10 to 1: 500. After special design, it can reach 1: 1000 or larger, but the gearbox with a large deceleration ratio is not allowed to "reverse", that is, the output shaft of the gear box cannot be used as the active axis to forcibly reverse it.
Due to the limitation of gear strength, when the total transmission is large, the gear motor may not be able to withstand the torque. At this time, the load torque cannot exceed the maximum allowable short -term load torque. The gear box consists of a multi -level gear. Each level includes a pair of mutually intertwined gears consisting of shell -like gears and small gears. The first small gear was installed on the output shaft of the motor. The bearing used for the output shaft of the gear box is usually a oil -containing bearings made of copper or iron sintering.

Founder | The Valuegraphics Database
David Allison
David Allison is the founder of The Valuegraphics Database, the world's first database that can predict and influence behavior for anything on earth. He is a pioneer of 'Values Thinking' as the new best practice for organizational decision-making.
He spent his career working on campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the world, building an award-winning marketing creative firm, and writing three influential books on communications strategy. All this left him questioning a fundamental concept of marketing: in a post-demographic era when age, gender, income, and education no longer restrict how we choose to live, he wondered, why are we still using demographics to understand how target audiences behave?
He sold his firm in 2015, and began work with a team of university researchers to launch, collect and analyze a half-million surveys about why groups of people behave the way they do. The data was immediately clear on two points. First, demographics were a shockingly ineffective way to understand how groups behaved. More importantly, leveraging shared values turned out to be the most powerful way he'd ever seen to trigger behavior for anything. Now, for the first time, there was accessible, customizable, empirical data that proved what we value determines what we do.
Further data analysis revealed that we waste 90% of our time and money trying to engage target audiences using demographics. What could we do with 90% of our financial and human resources re-deployed elsewhere? What if we only did things that people cared about? Wouldn't the world be better off if everything was based on the values we share? Since then, David has coined the term, and become a champion of, Values Thinking, the new best practice for organizational decision-making in a post-demographic world. His background consulting, writing, speaking, and creating simple stories from complex ideas has helped amplify the global shift away from outdated demographic stereotypes towards a more inclusive values-based society. His company provides clients with data-driven personas that pinpoint precisely which values most powerfully trigger behavior for anything on earth. His mission is to change the way we look at the world.
His latest book, We Are All the Same Age Now: Valuegraphics and the End of Demographic Stereotypes, was a number one global marketing bestseller within 48 hours of its release. Kirkus Reviews called it "A genuinely original contribution to marketing literature," and INC Magazine named it one of the top ten leadership books of the year.

Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus and Liam Gallagher also take top spots at this year's event, which is the first to take place since 2017 due to a fallow year.

Dua's appearance comes amid claims she has started dating Anwar Hadid, 20, three weeks after she split from Isaac Carew, 33.
The singer grew closer to model Anwar during her time in Los Angeles and they were spotted putting on a cosy display in Malibu, according to The Sun.
In recent weeks, she went her separate ways for good from Isaac after the couple reportedly were 'struggling to see each other'.
Dua and Isaac first started dating back in 2013 and the then-couple were together for nearly four years before their subsequent split in 2017.
The exes had reconciled just 18 months ago in January last year but they couldn't make their romance go the distance.

Several years ago a blogger that I follow wrote a post about animal testing. It was a mostly decor-related account, but on that day she made a plea to boycott products tested on animals, and you know what? It was effective. I decided that day that I would no longer support products or brands that tested on animals. The influencing was just that good.
That post challenged me to think about what my values were, and ask myself if I was supporting the kinds of practices that I believe are important. I believe that in this day and age we don't need to test our chemical products on animals, yet I wasn't using my purchasing power to support that belief.
I need to also acknowledge the place of privilege that I have in making this decision. Choosing cruelty-free products and brands is often the more expensive option, and one that may not be available locally to everyone. I lived at the time in Brooklyn, and now live in New Jersey, and am spoiled for choice with stores that carry the lines that I want to support. That is not true of everyone, even if they personally do not agree with the practice of animal testing, and it's important to recognize that and reserve judgement.
From that day forward all the personal and household products we bought were cruelty-free. The make-up I wear, the soaps and lotions we use to take care of our bodies, the sprays and cleaners we used to keep our home clean – all of it. It took a little legwork to find which brands align with our values, but the internet has many helpful guides to make this change easier.
That decision to go cruelty-free had a domino-effect as I paid more attention to the types of companies and products I wanted to support. It started with cruelty-free products and grew to making better choices for the environment – not just the animals, but the land and the air and the sea. I became increasingly aware and concerned about the impact that my purchases made on the natural world, and with that awareness I started making better decisions.
It's true that corporations and businesses have a greater negative impact on our environment, and it can feel like the actions of an individual are a microscopic drop in the bucket when facing the enormity of climate change and the environmental degradation that we are facing. But by sharing what we do as individuals, and supporting companies that do good, we create a bigger and more impactful movement.
The changes that I made came from one blog post on a home decor blog. Don't underestimate your power to influence change.

This song by Chas & Dave was from the album 'Mustn't Grumble' which was released as a single on 7 March 1982 and entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 62. The song stayed in the charts for 11 weeks and peaked at number No. 2 on 17 April 1982. It was also the duo's first and biggest hit in Ireland, peaking at No. 3 on the Irish Singles Chart in April 1982.
Interviewed by The Daily Telegraph in 2015 Chas Hodges was asked which was the band's biggest earning hit, and said: "It's difficult to say. "Ain't No Pleasing You" reached number two and is the most played. It was also the biggest achievement because I wrote it. For some hits, like Rabbit", we wrote together but this one was on my own, although I made sure Dave was happy with it every step of the way.
This is a one-off single rhythm complete with intro's/endings/fills & variations written in the style of the song for newer Ketron instruments. (Please note this is not a song file - often referred to as a midi file - that refers to and plays only one song. Subject to the chords you play on your instrument this style can be used for many numbers of which Ain't No Pleasing You is just one).

Seeing as how B2ST's contract with Cube Entertainment is coming to an end this October, many B2UTYs (as B2ST fans are lovingly known) are concerned that their favourite idol group will split.
But thanks to member Yoseob's reply to a fan on Instagram, it's safe to say that the boy group won't be disbanding. Not now, at least.
One B2UTY commented on Yoseob's post saying, "Oppa, please upload a bunch of pictures of all of B2ST together on Instagram. If your contract ends they'll become rare, hard to find photos, so please take a lot while you still can?"
To the fan's surprise, Yoseob answered her question with a heartwarming message.
He wrote:
"Why would those photos become rare and hard to find? I don't follow? Kekeke. You'll be seeing pictures of B2ST together a ton from now on. Don't worry. We're not splitting."
B2ST made their debut in 2009 and although they quickly became one of the most popular boy groups, the boys were thrown into a negative light when member Hyunseung departed from the team in April. The group returned as a 5-member group a few months ago with their 3rd studio album, "Highlight".

We work to preserve Sumter's African American history for future generations as well as the inspiration of its existing African-American community. We pay special attention to collecting the history of former African American Schools.

Rosen Wald funds were used for the construction of the school facility and the shop in the back of the school.
The twelfth grade added to the school under the tenure of Mr. J.H. Kilgo.
Twenty additional classrooms, a cafeteria, a gymnasium, a library and a band room was constructed.

Julius Rosenwald
Julius Rosenwald, who was born in 1862 while Abraham Lincoln was president, in a house just one block from the liberator's own home in Springfield, Illinois.
During the summer of 1910, Rosenwald read the autobiography of the great black educator Booker T. Washington and was strongly affected. Within a year, Rosenwald and Washington were building a relationship that included visits to each other's homes. Rosenwald's first speech introducing the educator to Chicago's business leaders described Washington as "helping his own race to attain the high art of self-help and self-dependence" while simultaneously "helping the white race to learn that opportunity and obligation go hand in hand, and that there is no enduring superiority save that which comes as the result of serving."
Rosenwald and Washington launched an effort to build new schools in parts of the rural South where little or no education was being offered to rural blacks. Washington documented progress on the schools with photos and careful accounting, including descriptions of the community enthusiasm for the erection of the new schools created among locals of all races. Pride in the fresh facilities often overflowed into newly painted houses, improved roads, and expanded cooperation among residents. Rosenwald and Washington built schools all across the South over more than 20 years. There were also correlated efforts to train teachers to serve in the new schools, and funds to provide libraries and workshops for students. Rosenwald insisted right from the beginning that his donation would only be made if it was matched by local residents (most of whom were poor blacks who skeptics said could never come up with adequate funds). And despite their limited resources, thousands of rural black communities succeeded in pulling together the funds to match Rosenwald's gift.
Poignant stories have been recorded of black laborers emptying bags of old coins, representing years of savings, to underwrite these schools. Sharecroppers set aside a "Rosenwald Patch" when they planted their cotton. Innumerable pie sales and fried chicken suppers were organized to raise matching funds. During construction, many black families donated materials or invested sweat equity via their labor. Local whites also contributed, encouraged by the uplift the new schools offered their towns. Rosenwald funds were used to improve the Lincoln School facility and erect two additional buildings on the school site.
Julius Rosenwald left a powerful imprint on numerous causes. He was also a generous backer of black colleges. He funded the construction of 22 YMCA/YWCA community centers and urban dormitories for blacks during the segregated era. And he funded a third of the litigation costs of the Brown v. Board of Education case that ended school segregation. In addition to changing the country, Rosenwald changed philanthropy.
President's Message (Cont'd)
We have had a new roof installed on the cafeteria wing of the building and are having a new roof put on the entire facility. It's an expensive but very necessary project. We must ensure that our building and its contents are protected. We are grateful to the National Park Service for funds that will help with the installation of the new roof, but we would very much appreciate donations to help with this expense.
We are planning more "building" projects: restore and rehabilitate the 1st floor of the building to include plumbing, electrical, painting and installation of an elevator. We are anticipating additional building rehabilitation funds and will make an announcement soon. It would help significantly if each of you would send a donation, large or small it would be a tremendous help. Please do not forget to renew your annual membership.
We need volunteers willing to give a little or a lot of time to support the Association. There are many things to be done – data entry, inventory, filing, cleaning, and helping with museum tours, trimming trees and shrubs, and much more. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Rose Colclough or if you are interested in touring our museum, please contact Jim Felder. We will soon add a regular newsletter feature to the Echo News section of the website to keep you informed. Keep an eye on the website for updates, announcements, and future gala plans.
We are indeed one!

Our Past: Taft made campaign stop in Wayne County
On the evening of Oct. 23, 1908, William Howard Taft stumped for the presidency of the United States at Richmond's Pennsylvania Depot after visiting Cambridge City.
The Evening Item reported thousands of residents packed the intersection of North 10th and E, jamming the streets, sitting on railroad trucks, billboards, rooftops, in windows and "passenger coaches."
A profusion of "flags, pennants and bunting" stretched across windows and on tops of warehouses along the street and at the Adam H. Bartel Company building directly across from the speaker's stand.
Taft mounted the platform humbly. "It is a great pleasure for me to come to Richmond. From my earliest boyhood, I recollect this place as one of the earliest homes of abolitionism. My father was an abolitionist and regarded Richmond as the most important place in Indiana."
Taft was seeking election in the wake of President Teddy Roosevelt and was being groomed in Roosevelt's "man of brawn" image, though Taft shared little with that ideal, being lethargic, overweight and insecure.
The Evening Item carried a short, dubious biography: "In early politics, Bill Taft's girth bore him well. There were days when political feeling ran high in Ohio and election fights were by no means free from blood-ship. It was in the midst of one of these election rows that young Taft met bullies at their own game, and there are men still living in Cincinnati who can testify to the steam behind his sledge-like fists…
"There is the oft-told legend of his trouncing a scurrilous editor by the name of Rose, who printed in his paper a story basely reflecting Bill's father, Alphonso. This fellow was known as a scrapper… with superior fighting abilities. Bill Taft, however, looked him up, knocked him down, bumped his head upon the ground a while, and let him up with the assurance that if they should meet in town the next day or any day later the treatment would be repeated."
Taft was 6 feet tall and weighed close to 350 pounds, the largest person ever to run for the presidency. A newsman described him as "an American bison — but a gentle, kind one."
Once in the White House, Taft often got stuck in the bathtub and his advisors had to pull him out. Prying the president of the United States from the bathtub was embarrassing, so a much larger tub with room for as many as four people was installed.
Secretly, Taft didn't want to be commander-in-chief. His frequently expressed motto was "Politics make me sick."
His mother recognized his distaste for politics, but his wife didn't.
Taft's wife, Nellie, had visited the White House as a young girl, and her life's ambition was to live there. The woman behind the man wanted the White House, and Taft openly admitted, "I consider obedience the first virtue of a husband."
In the end, Taft's mother proved right.
He became the 27th president of the United States — and hardly any other president was as unhappy in office as he was.
He was the first U.S. president to play golf, and the first president to switch his primary mode of transportation to a combustion engine automobile.
When he left office in 1913, he told incoming President Woodrow Wilson, "I'm glad to be going. This is the lonesomest place in the world."
As president, Taft did have achievements. His administration pursued twice as many anti-trust lawsuits as Roosevelt's. He expanded the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the regulation of telephone, radio and cable services. The Publicity Act of 1910 forced political parties to publicize sources of campaign funds in full disclosure. His administration set aside more than 72 million acres of public lands for conservation. He introduced the eight-hour workday for work on federal projects.
He also proposed the 16th Amendment to the Constitution that stipulated, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." It was ratified during his presidency and passed on Feb. 3, 1913.
After the presidency, Taft adopted stricter eating habits and played more golf. He shed much of his excess weight, and his health improved immeasurably.
In 1921, he was appointed to the Supreme Court. Many thought he made a better judge than he did a president. He certainly was happier in that position.
But when he spoke in Richmond and Cambridge City, he never revealed attaining the White House was his wife's dream, not his.

Readers Write
Regarding the "Ridership on buses, shuttles" article, Jan. 18, 2007; I would like to add that the Truckee/Sugar Bowl shuttle serving Truckee, Donner Lake, Soda Springs and Norden has also seen large ridership numbers. Since Dec. 14, 2006 and through Jan. 19, 2007 the shuttle has transported more than 6,500 passengers.
These numbers include local riders who use this free shuttle as well as neighboring ski resorts and skiers. This free shuttle service is coordinated with the TART schedule at the Truckee Train Depot. This service is provided by Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, the Town of Truckee and The North Lake Tahoe Resort Association.
The Truckee/Sugar Bowl schedule can be found at http://www.sugarbowl.com as well as http://www.laketahoetransit.com. Additional information can be obtained at 426-9000, ext. 7355.
I think the intelligence of the people in the service industry here in Truckee is being challenged when the Town of Truckee believes that someone, a non-professional if you will, one who makes between $8 and $14 per hour without insurance, or $20,000 per year, and there are many, can afford to buy one of the duplexes at Spring Creek.
What is the definition of affordable housing? I too have done my homework and my math. According to a reliable source it is just a matter of time until the duplexes are put on the market for anyone to buy? Since .hose who are in need of housing can not afford to pay these prices, it is back to square one. If you are a single woman with no kids, forget it. As John Stasel of 20/20 would say: "Give me a break."
Truckee businesses need to hire people to serve the very people who bring the prices of property up, but at the same time brings revenue to the Town of Truckee and are the ones, in essence, creating jobs for all of us and for businesses to stay in business.
So, the Town of Truckee needs to take care of the people who take care of Truckee and to help them get a decent living and a decent place to live. Keep the service industry strong, by keeping them here in Truckee and not in Reno … It is a disgrace and an embarrassment. Don't do what they are doing in Vail or Aspen.
This is an open letter sent to Gov. Schwarzenegger:
I know that you are a very busy man and have a lot more things on your mind other than my Town of Truckee. We have a public safety issue in Truckee. Someone in charge needs to hear what is going on. Caltrans is dragging their feet on replacing the Union Pacific railroad bridge over High Way 89 in Truckee. This bridge is 78 years old (built 1929). The road was not paved then.
Caltrans knows that this bridge should have been replaced in 1960 when I-80 was under construction. Caltrans knows that there is a public safety issue concerning this bridge. Caltrans is now saying that this bridge will not be built until after 2012 when the Proposition B1 funds will be gone.
I invite you to come to Truckee and walk through that bridge so that you may understand how dangerous this bridge has become. Please do it on a Sunday afternoon.
Then I want to see if you would allow your children to walk through that tunnel. Please bring the Director of Caltrans with you when you do that.
I will be in the front row at the Town of Truckee Council meeting February 15th when The Mousehole will be an agenda item. Please come. I will save you a seat. Bring the Director of Caltrans also.
I'm sure the people of this community and region would like to tell you what we think about this issue. If I had my way I would recommend that this bridge be condemned immediately. I wonder how quick this bridge would be replaced if that were to happen.
Does a pedestrian or a bicyclist have to be killed before this bridge is replaced? Does a train have to fall off that bridge before this bridge is replaced?
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you concerning this issue.
It's great to see Julia Mancuso's winning streak, but if you want to see it on TV you won't have much luck. Dish Network seems to have nothing much more than high-stakes poker, bull riding and almost every basketball game played in the country.
Cable is probably not any better.
Fortunately, it's all available on the Internet. You'll need a DSL connection. Google search WCSN (World Champion Sports Network) and then subscribe. It cost about $5 a month. The coverage is excellent. They show every run of every event, there are no ads or silly puff pieces. They also do a great job of covering other Olympic sports like gymnastics usually neglected by our corporate media. Good luck, Julia, and happy viewing.

Malnutrition and mortality
(go to Outline)
The fourth perspective with which to assess the nutritional situation in populations is the relationship between malnutrition and mortality. Malnutrition and mortality are usually closely linked. Acute protein-energy malnutrition mainly leads to death by increasing the susceptibility of malnourished individuals to infectious diseases and, once infected, increasing the severity and duration of these diseases. Thus, if the organisms which cause important infectious diseases (diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, etc.) are not present, malnutrition may not produce as many deaths compared to a situation in which individuals are commonly exposed to these organisms.
The following figure shows possible relationships between malnutrition and mortality. In the lower left box is a population in which mortality rates and the prevalence of malnutrition are "normal." The upper left box shows the situation where, in the face of health crisis, such as an outbreak of measles or dysentery, but without food insecurity, the mortality may rise without an accompanying rise in the prevalence of malnutrition, at least in the short-term. This situation may also occur if a substantial portion of the elevated mortality is due to violence. If a food crisis alone affects the population, without a rise in the incidence of infectious diseases, the prevalence of malnutrition may elevated, but the mortality rate may not increase. This is shown in the lower right box. In many humanitarian emergencies, because of the combination of high incidence of infectious diseases, food insecurity, and a breakdown of caring practices, both malnutrition and mortality are increased.
In humanitarian emergencies involving population displacement, acute protein-energy malnutrition often contributes to extraordinarily high mortality rates. In such situations, the mechanisms of food procurement and distribution often break down at the same time as basic public health and clinical treatment measures are eroded. As a result, exposure to disease-causing organisms is more common and treatment for disease becomes less available. This greatly increases the mortality resulting from acute protein-energy malnutrition. The level of malnutrition and the rate of mortality are often linked. Below is a graph showing the mortality rates in populations with different levels of acute malnutrition. Clearly, the higher the level of malnutrition, the higher the mortality rate.
One fallacy often cited in survey reports is that high mortality, by killing off malnourished children, results in a low apparent prevalence of acute protein-energy malnutrition even in the face of food insecurity and other factors which should produce malnutrition. This has never been seen in a humanitarian emergency. If the mortality rate climbs rapidly, the prevalence of malnutrition may plateau because the rate of death from malnutrition may equal the rate at which children become newly malnourished. As seen above, some situations may have high mortality and low malnutrition, but this is because malnutrition is not a public health problem in that population, NOT because a severe malnutrition problem has been masked by high mortality.

Types of systems - generations
Various fuel systems used in petrol engines of vehicles require selection of a proper generation and type of gas system. In the terms of installation of LPG systems, there are five generations of propane-butane fuel supply systems. The main factor that decides about correct selection of LPG system is the type of petrol fuel system used in given car.
1st generation - is designed for cars equipped with an engine, in which a carburettor or a fuel injection system has been used, without a lambda sensor (fuel systems in older cars); it is the cheapest type of fuel system with manual switching from petrol to gas (carburettor) or automated switching (fuel injection system).
2nd generation - is designed for cars equipped with an engine, in which a single- or multipoint fuel injection system with a lambda sensor and a catalytic converter is used. Switching from petrol to gas is automatic and depends on engine r.p.m.
3rd generation - is designed for cars equipped with an engine with multipoint fuel injection system, a catalytic converter and a plastic air intake manifold. Currently this generation is no longer offered due to its replacement by the 4th generation.
4th generation - the most common LPG system on the market, which consist in injection of LPG in the gaseous phase. Each gas injector is assigned to a single cylinder and switching from petrol to gas is fully automatic, smooth and unnoticeable to a user. On the other hand, for cars equipped with an engine with direct fuel injection (e.g.: FSI, GDI), there has been created a system that is dedicated to a given type of engine and was developed especially for it. It is used in cars with 4-cylinder engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged.
5th generation - the most advanced of all currently used LPG systems, which is dedicated to specific car models. A distinguishing feature of the system is sequential injection of LPG in the liquid phase, pumped under pressure into the combustion chamber. The injection takes place with the use of the original petrol injectors and a high-pressure pump, so gas injectors and a gas reducer have been eliminated.

Jackson artist brings color, creativity to capital city
With a wide, infectious smile, 28-year-old Justin Ransburg introduces himself as an artist who draws and paints.
Typically dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, he conveys a vibe that is cool and eccentric. Many have glimpsed his vibrant and distinct work on a light box in downtown Jackson, a mural at Lucky Town Brewery and almost anything throughout the capital city that can be covered with his favorite mediums — acrylic and spray paint.
"I guess I was like the odd kid in class because I would always be drawing. But, I always got along with anyone I was around. I could fit in with other people but I was OK being alone," Ransburg said.
The 2006 Callaway High School graduate first discovered his talents when his brother refused to create a picture for him.
"He basically told me to do it myself — like big brothers do," Ransburg said. "So, after I finished, I gave it to him and he actually gave me a critique on it. That moment led me to finding friends in school that could draw, and keeping that passion going led me out of Mississippi and to college and to me pursuing a career in the arts."
At Texas Southern, Ransburg majored in fine arts, intending to concentrate on graphic design, but the lack of a design program changed his focal point to painting.
"Initially, I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't like it as much as graphic design, but I was determined to get better at it and kept going," he said.
Like many inventive minds, the Jackson transplant had some trouble boxing his creativity, which presented an issue for his drawing professor, Harvey Johnson.
"I found that to be hilarious since I came from a city where the mayor's name was Harvey Johnson, but I'm pretty sure they're not related," Ransburg quipped.
The personal touches he added to his assignments were to his professor's chagrin.
"We did a still life, and I kind of got bored drawing the still life, so I decided to draw imaginary characters in the background. You could kind of feel his head shake when he saw it like: 'Ughhh, Justin — follow instructions.'"
One day, much to the burgeoning artist's dismay, his professor informed him his drawings were not art. "It threw me for a loop, and I was like: 'What do you mean this isn't art?' I was thinking, 'What have I been doing all my life if it isn't art?'"
It was a friend who told Ransburg that his work did not have to fit into someone else's idea of art. Uplifted, he persevered and graduated with his bachelor's in 2012.
Upon his return to Jackson that same year, Ransburg began working in landscaping while posting craigslist ads for jobs that would allow him to indulge his artistic expression.
"I was a caricature artist for a Mississippi College of Law party, and it showed me that if I really wanted to do this I could do it. I just had to keep pushing," he said.
When friend Kimberly Jacobs, former director of Jackson State University's Gallery1, received a Roman Bearden Fellowship at the St. Louis Art Museum, she encouraged Ransburg to apply for her position.
"She was going to be gone for a year. So during that time she asked me if I wanted to work at the gallery while she was in St. Louis," he said.
Ransburg successfully applied and became coordinator of JSU's Gallery1 from 2013 to 2014.
"We knew Justin would be the perfect person. It's hard to describe, it was an energy and an attitude and a complete knowingness. He was always trustworthy and patient," Jacobs said.
She said Ransburg also is a "great artist" whose work had a message.
"He has a great imagination, which makes him a great visionary," she said.
Once Jacobs returned, Ransburg began freelancing. He was gaining more notice for his creative blending of animation, illustration, imagery and mixed-media. His client list grew. He recalls his favorite commission as a mural he did for Taboo Dance & Aerial Fitness depicting the three owners as pole-dancing superheroes.
Ransburg said he was able to observe the classes for inspiration. "It's interesting," he said. "It's a pole-dancing class, but at the same time, it teaches women to be confident in their bodies while they're getting stronger because having to pull your own body weight is difficult."
Another example of Ransburg's work can be found at DellaBee's Restaurant inside the Jackson Medical Mall. The restaurant is named after the owner's two grandmothers — Della and Bee, he says. "She asked me to make a woman with a bumble bee body holding a rolling pin."
Although Ransburg has no problem using a traditional canvas, he enjoys turning ordinary things into extraordinary pieces like the light box on the corner of Mill and Capitol streets next to the old King Edward Hotel — now home to the Hilton Garden Inn.
After submitting a design, Ransburg was selected to customize the light box through a program sponsored by the Greater Jackson Arts Council.
"I wanted to use spray paint for the whole project, but unless you have stencils and other tools you can control the medium with then it's difficult to do details. I had to switch up my idea a little bit but still make sure it kept with the theme of Mississippi musicians," he said.
The meter protruding from his canvas presented a slight issue, but the artist improvised and incorporated the meter into his work. "It turned out way better than I was expecting," Ransburg said.
When the guys at Lucky Town Brewery were looking for someone to liven up a bare wall outside their business, a friend referred Ransburg. "Reuben contacted me through Facebook and told me what they were trying to do, and it was definitely something I was down to do," Ransburg said.
After discussing the vision with Reuben Antelink, tour director, and Lucas Simmons, head brewer of Lucky Town, the men came up with an idea of having characters from the '80s, '90s, '2000s pop-culture era scattered throughout the building. Ransburg said, "So, I added a party scene with people from Jackson enjoying the beer from Lucky Town."
Antvelink said they chose Ransburg because he was local and because the artist loves art like "we at Lucky Town love our beer."
"In his art, he adds not only the flair of his personality but he takes time to get to know the people he's doing the art for and he puts them into his paintings," said Antvelink. "We really love what Justin has done so far for us, and we are hoping in the future you will see many collaborations between Justin and us."
Although Ransburg savors his craft, he also enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. He spent last summer helping students at Jackson State University's Kids Kollege create a mural that displays on a wall in their hallway.
He also worked with the Parents for Jackson Public Schools and its program called "Ask for More Art."
"I taught the students at Lanier how to do a mural based on the theme of community. It's hanging on the ninth-grade wall at Lanier High school," he said.
Giving back to people in his hometown "feels really good," Ransburg said. "It lets me know that I'm doing something worthwhile and that people can look to it for inspiration because I'm not just making pretty pictures. I'm doing something that makes a difference."

Call me crazy, but I have never been a huge fan of pizza. In fact, I use to despise it as a kid. I recall going to friends' birthday parties on several occasions where their parents would kindly order something different for me–the weird kid that hated pizza and loved broccoli. As I grew up, I developed more of a taste for pizza (must be my Italian roots). I have to really be in the mood for it though, and it has to be pretty darn good for me to eat it. This weekend was one of those times. For some reason, I was craving pizza–a very rare occurrence indeed. Instead of running to Beau Jeau's and ordering their gluten-free, lactose-free pie, I made my own Lactose-Free Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza. Continue reading

Who needs delivery? Not me, I have a kitchen. I am always trying to find ways to turn delicious foods that are not usually labeled as"healthy" into a more guilt-free cuisine. This attempt was for pizza, and it was highly successful. The Whole Wheat Pizza Crust was spot on topped with Fresh Basil Pesto and the toppings fit both my needs and my boyfriend's (we went half and half). Continue reading
