Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a method sensitive to charge neutral and negative open volume defects in solids. The decreased electron density in a vacancy manifests itself as an increase of positron lifetime and the narrowing of the-511 keV photo peak in the annihilation gamma spectrum, compared to a defect free crystal. Positron lifetime spectroscopy provides information on the atomic structure, the charge state and often the concentration of the vacancies while the Doppler broadening of the photopeak enables the identification of atoms surrounding the vacancy defects. The combination of positron annihilation spectroscopy and supporting first principles modeling of the measured annihilation parameters has been efficiently used to identify and quantify technologically important vacancy related defects in, for example, group IV semiconductors, III nitrides and ZnO [1]. In best cases, thorough experimental work combined with simulations can provide a very detailed picture of the structural and chemical identities of vacancy defects detected [2].
In this talk, I will discuss the experimental technique and how it can be complemented with density-functional-based modeling of defect structures, positron states and associated annihilation parameters. I will also discuss our recent progress in the development of accurate quantum Monte Carlo techniques to describe electron-positron interactions, positron annihilation rate and the momentum density of annihilating pairs in realistic periodic solids [3].

The long-held notion of the American Dream has always included owning a home with the proverbial white picket fence. Today, that dream has become unpractical for many Americans. The unstable job economy paired with the recent bust of the housing market has put home ownership out of reach for many families. Once you look past the dream, however, there are some real benefits to renting a home rather than owning it yourself.
Neighborhoods Improved by Rental Homes
The high rate of foreclosures in recent years has left many neighborhoods full of empty homes. Renting those homes has helped to revitalize those neighborhoods and clean them up as families begin to take care of the houses once more. Everyone wins when a foreclosed home comes up as a rental because the property will have a chance to bring in money once again and the new residents will have an affordable place to live. Research shows that home ownership in the United States is at its lowest level since the 1960s, while renting trends should continue to rise by the millions over the next 10 years.
Renting Provides Flexibility in an Unstable Economy
One of the reasons rentals are more attractive to families right now is because the job market is so unstable. People who are not sure if they will still be working for the same company in two years need the ability to move if a job opportunity arises elsewhere. Owning a home can make it difficult to leave when you need to go to a new city for work. A rental house provides all the comforts of living in a single-family home with the flexibility of leaving any time you need to make a change.
Ownership Requires More Investment
A practical reason for choosing to rent rather than own is that ownership requires far more time and money than renting. The owner is responsible for keeping the property in good working order at all times. When you rent, you have the luxury of calling someone else when the air conditioner stops working or the sink backs up. If you own the house, you are the one who has to deal with the troubles of things breaking. Owners are also responsible for replacing carpeting or painting the walls if the house becomes worn down. If you don't own the home, you don't have the financial responsibility for maintaining it.
Buying Is Better than Renting for the Long Term
In a direct cost comparison over several years, the benefits of renting a home lose to the benefits of owning a home after five years. For the first five years, a renter is financially ahead of the game. After five years, a homeowner saves money and has a better investment by owning the property. Renting makes sense in shorter increments, while owning creates more financial stability for the long term. Homeowners save an average of $1,500 more per year than renters do after five years of living in the same house.

Springer first signing under Head Coach, Fitzgerald
The Glasgow Clan are delighted to announce the signing of defenceman Linden Springer from the Manchester Storm for 2019/20.
The 24-year-old, Alberta, Canada native, moves to Glasgow following two season's in the EIHL where he became a firm Manchester fan favourite.
Prior to heading to the UK, the Canadian had played for Lakehead University in USports as well as the Prince George Cougars in the WHL.
During 107 games for the Storm, Springer scored 6 goals and assisted on 23 others, while sitting 336 minutes in the penalty box.
Zack Fitzgerald is delighted to welcome Springer as his first signing as the new Clan Head Coach:
"Springer for me is a great signing. He is a player that brings physicality, leadership & has a team-first mentality." confirmed Fitzgerald.
"He is young, full of energy and will compliment the attitude we have here on and off the ice with our core group of guys.
"It's important we have guys here, that will bring character, play with an edge and keep opposition teams looking over their shoulders – with Linden I know we've got this.
"I couldn't be more pleased to have him wear a Clan jersey this season. The Purple Army will enjoy his style of play and the character that he is."
Linden will wear #27 for the Clan.
Linden is the 8th signing so far for Clan in 2019/20 after Patrick Killeen, Scott Tanski, Craig Moore, Scott Pitt, Rasmus Bjerrum, Craig Peacock and Matt Stanisz have already joined the Clan for the 2019/20 season.

Sock Knitting Bag
My project over the weekend was to make a new bag to carry my sock knitting.
You might remember this fabric as from an earlier post. It is leftover from one of my space-dyed warp experiments. The warp was variegated 4-ply cotton yarn. The weft was an 8/2 white cotton. Part of the fabric was used to make a diddy bag for my dad, but I had enough leftover for a bag for myself.
For my purposes, I wanted a small bag with a squared bottom and handles. Since the handwoven fabric wasn't dense enough to guarantee that I wouldn't loose any double pointed knitting needles, I also decided to line it with a commercial fabric. For the handles, I found a sturdy polyester belting at Hobby Lobby.
Before I could start sewing however, I needed to do something about my sewing machine. The tension knob was not at all responsive, and I was afraid that the machine needed some extensive repair. I did some searching on the Internet first, and found an excellent article on Secrets of Embroidery. From that article, I learned about tension problems and how to fix them. It gave instructions about how to adjust the bobbin tension, though Singer doesn't make this at all easy to do! Fortunately, I achieved an acceptable bobbin tension without too much difficulty. Then I could start sewing on my bag.
The fabrics were cut into 12 by 24 inch pieces. I sewed the sides up lengthwise. To make the squared bottom, I opened the side seams and sewed them across the bottom of the bag, to forming triangle shaped flaps.
When turned right side out, this forms a nice, square bottom on the bag...
I tacked down the handles on the right side of the bag, and then sewed the outer and inner pieces around the top, right sides together. I left a four inch opening to pull it outside out.
After turning, I slip stitched the opening closed, gave it a quick press, and there you have it.

Document Type
Noble metal impregnation has resulted in the inclusion of metal nanostructures within the SBA-15 mesoporous silica hexagonal pores (from nanoclusters to nanowires). A bright-field transmission electron microscopy three-dimensional reconstruction is proposed to analyze the localization of nanostructures within the pores of mesoporous nanotemplates. The method allows corroboration whether the nanostructures are synthesized inside the pores or they are synthesized alternatively on the nanotemplate aggregates exterior surface.

1 The Martingale Options Price Valuation for European Puts Using Stochastic Differential Equation Models
Authors: H. C. Chinwenyi, H. D. Ibrahim, F. A. Ahmed
In modern financial mathematics, valuing derivatives such as options is often a tedious task. This is simply because their fair and correct prices in the future are often probabilistic. This paper examines three different Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) models in finance; the Constant Elasticity of Variance (CEV) model, the Balck-Karasinski model, and the Heston model. The various Martingales option price valuation formulas for these three models were obtained using the replicating portfolio method. Also, the numerical solution of the derived Martingales options price valuation equations for the SDEs models was carried out using the Monte Carlo method which was implemented using MATLAB. Furthermore, results from the numerical examples using published data from the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE), all share index data show the effect of increase in the underlying asset value (stock price) on the value of the European Put Option for these models. From the results obtained, we see that an increase in the stock price yields a decrease in the value of the European put option price. Hence, this guides the option holder in making a quality decision by not exercising his right on the option.

Investec Women's Hockey League Premier Division
Leicester 1 Surbiton 2
Surbiton Ladies extended their lead at the top of the Investec Women's Hockey League Premier Division to three points after winning 2-1 at Leicester on Saturday and Buckingham lost 4-0 at the University of Birmingham on Sunday. Buckingham had ended 2017 in second place, two points behind the reigning champions but Birmingham replaced them as Surbiton's nearest challengers following their comprehensive victory.
Hollie Pearne-Webb made her first league appearance of the season for Surbiton in the East Midlands, whilst Anabel Herzsprung, a new signing from German club Harvestehuder, made her league debut for the Sugden Road club having previously played in a friendly tournament in Barcelona and in the Jaffa Super 6s Division One competition.
Both teams battled in bitterly cold temperatures and in rain and sleet as the national league resumed after the mid-season break.
Surbiton dominated possession and were unlucky not to score from their first attack, former Leicester player Holly Payne forcing a fine save from Caitlin Jeffries in the home goal. Hannah Martin also had an early attempt on goal saved.
For all their attacking intent, Surbiton broke the deadlock courtesy of their penalty corner routine, although there will be disappointment that having forced a total of thirteen penalty corners in the match, only two came to fruition.
Giselle Ansley found the backboard in the tenth minute as first indications were that Surbiton were on course to cruise to victory.
However five minutes later, Leicester were level, Elizabeth Honarmand's shot from the left of the circle too powerful for young Surbiton goalkeeper, Ellie Shahbo to save. Although Shahbo managed to get a touch, there was nothing she could do to prevent the ball rocketing into the top right corner of the goal.
Leicester's Kathryn Lane and Lucy Briscoe worked hard in defence in the first half to help the home team, starting the match in ninth place, contain Surbiton's forwards and ensure the teams were still level at 1-1 at half time.
In the second half, Pearne-Webb found the backboard from Surbiton's fifth penalty corner of the match in the 40th minute to score what was destined to be the winning goal. With Surbiton seemingly able to force penalty corners at will and using a mixture of drag-flicks and manoeuvred routines, a combination of Jeffries saves, shots off target and a goal-line stop from Rachael Mack prevented the visitors from extending their lead.
With Leicester only trailing by a single goal, there was still a chance that they could snatch a point, Surbiton grateful to Emily Defroand for intercepting the hosts' only penalty corner of the second half with seven minutes to play.
After a few anxious moments, the final whistle blew to confirm Surbiton's victory. East Grinstead temporarily moved into second with a 3-1 win at Slough, Chloe Palmer opening the scoring on her league debut for the West Sussex club against another of her former clubs having recently left Surbiton.
Canterbury earned a point in a 1-1 at Clifton Robinsons to move to within one point of Leicester and will visit Surbiton on 10 February. The first game at Polo Farm ended in a 2-2 draw on the opening day of the season.

Justia Michigan Supreme Court Opinion SummariesArticles Posted in Class Action
In re Certified Question (Deacon v. Pandora)
Peter Deacon, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, brought an action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Pandora Media, Inc., which operated an Internet-based music-streaming program. In relevant part, Deacon claimed that Pandora violation of the Michigan preservation of personal privacy act (PPPA) by publically disclosing personal information concerning his music preferences. The federal district court ruled in favor of defendant, and under MCR 7.305(B), the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit certified a question of Michigan law to the Michigan Supreme Court: "Has Deacon stated a claim against Pandora for violation of the VRPA by adequately alleging that Pandora is [in] the business of 'renting' or 'lending' sound recordings, and that he is a 'customer' of Pandora because he 'rents' or 'borrows' sound recordings from Pandora? " Having heard oral argument and considered the issues involved, the Michigan Supreme Court granted the Ninth Circuit's request to answer its question. However, the Michigan Court limited the question to whether Deacon could be characterized under the PPPA as a "customer" of Pandora because at the relevant time he was a person who "rent[ed]" or "borrow[ed]" sound recordings from defendant. The Supreme Court concluded that Deacon was not such a "customer." View "In re Certified Question (Deacon v. Pandora)" on Justia Law

Michigan ex rel Gurganus v. CVS Caremark Corp.
Before the Supreme Court, three actions: two class actions and a qui tam action brought in the name of the state of Michigan involving allegations that multiple pharmacies systematically violated MCL 333.17755(2) by improperly retaining savings that should have been passed on to customers when dispensing generic drugs in the place of their brand-name equivalents. Furthermore, plaintiffs argued that violations of section 17755(2) necessarily resulted in violations of the Health Care False Claim Act (HCFCA) and the Medicaid False Claim Act (MFCA) when pharmacists submitted reimbursement claims to the state for Medicaid payments that they were not entitled to receive. "The inferences and assumptions required to implicate defendants [were] simply too tenuous for plaintiffs' claims to survive summary judgment. Moreover, plaintiffs' overbroad approach of identifying all transactions in which a generic drug was dispensed fail[ed] to hone in on the only relevant transactions - those in which a generic drug was dispensed in place of a brand-name drug." The Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' construction of MCL 333.17755(2) and its holding that plaintiffs' pleadings were sufficient to survive summary judgment, vacated the remainder of the Court of Appeals' judgment, and reinstated the trial court's grant of summary judgment to defendants.

Chicken Casserole, 2015 Edition
February 14, 2015 | Posted by Stephanie Banyas
Chicken and rice is pure comfort food. I think just about every culture has a version of chicken and rice that they call their own. Consider the magnificent versions: paella, from Spain, arroz con pollo from Latin America, clay pot chicken and rice from China…the countries and versions are endless. New York City even has its very own version.

As Oprah might say, "what I know for sure" is: I have never met a version of chicken and rice that I didn't love. Except, that is, that version from the good old USA that is served in a casserole dish swimming in "cream" sauce from a red and white can, with overcooked white rice and a few carrots and peas thrown in for good measure. One person's comfort is another person's misery.
I decided to try to create a very good version based on that very bad version. I took my inspiration from a version that hails from India called Chicken Biryani (learn more about its origins here).
My Chicken & Rice, Biryani-Style contains lots of the exotic spices that are associated with Indian cooking (cinnamon, curry powder, ginger, coriander), and the creaminess does come from a can -- but this time, it is in the form of gloriously rich coconut milk that adds sweetness to balance all of the intense flavors.
American Texmati brown rice adds amazing flavor and texture and, well, is all-American. This dish takes a little time and patience to prepare but it is so worth it. You will never look at that other chicken and rice the same way again.

Every year HMRC carries out checks to make sure that tax payers are paying the right amount of tax, accounting for right amount of output VAT and claiming the right amount of input VAT. These are called compliance checks.
As part of a check, HMRC may wish to visit you at your business premises. This is so that they can look at your records or business assets and find out more about how your business operates.
What are your rights?
You do not have to agree to this visit if you don't want them to do it at that time.You have the right to contact your tax adviser if you have one.You have the right to confidentiality in all their dealings with you and anyone else involved in the check.
Why HMRC does unannounced visits?
HMRC sometimes makes visits without telling you in advance because of several reasons. It may be the case that HMRC has made previous appointments to visit but you have not been at your business premises as arranged or they have not been able to contact you to arrange an appointment.
HMRC sometimes believes that they have identified concerns that can only be dealt with by an unannounced visit. However they can only make an unannounced visit if a senior HMRC officer agrees. The senior officer will consider whether they can avoid an unannounced visit by getting the information they need in another way. If they decide that the visit is necessary, they will decide accordingly.
Can you refuse the visit?
If you refuse the visit, it's likely that they will ask you to explain as to why the visit is to be cancelled. It could be the case that the day, time or place is inconvenient. In that case HMRC will try to arrange another visit.
Alternatively, HMRC may try to get the information they need by contacting someone else or estimate the figures they need and make an assessment of what you should pay. They can also decide to make another unannounced visit in future or ask the independent tribunal that deals with tax to approve a visit.
What happens during the visit?
HMRC officers will show you their identification when they arrive and they will explain why they are visiting. They will give you a 'Notice of Inspection' that sets out certain the names of the officers taking part in the visit and a contact number for you to check their identities. They also will explain what the officers can do during the visit and their legal rights to carry out the visit.
HMRC may ask to take some records away to check in their own office. They will explain why they want to do this at the visit. If they do take any records, they will give you a receipt, keep the records securely and return them to you by the end of the check. If you need them back quickly.

There are a lot of things we do without much conscious thought — habits we've developed over time. Some habits help streamline our lives for the good; others, though, hold us back or even harm us. A lot of these habits, both good and bad, form during our childhood years.
That's why it's important for you to guide your children into forming good habits. The goal is that when they're adults they'll "own" these habits, and their life will be healthier and happier because of them.
One particular area of habit-forming focus is dental care. It's essential your children develop good habits caring for their teeth and gums. The most important is a daily routine of brushing and flossing.
Brushing and flossing has one primary aim: to remove bacterial plaque, a thin film of food particles that builds up on tooth surfaces. Bacteria in plaque are the main cause for two potentially devastating diseases, tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Allowing plaque to build up over just a few days can trigger an infection that inflames the gums or softens enamel leading to tooth decay. Left untreated these diseases can ultimately cause tooth and bone loss.
A daily habit of brushing and flossing, along with semi-annual professional cleanings, can drastically reduce a person's risk for these diseases. It's best to instill these habits and their importance as soon as your child's teeth begin to erupt in the mouth.
In the beginning, you'll be performing the habit for them: for children two and younger use a slight smear of toothpaste on the brush. As they get older, you can increase it to pea size. Eventually you'll want to help them learn to brush on their own. In this case, modeling the behavior — both of you brushing your teeth together — will have the biggest impact and help them see how important the habit really is.
Before you know it, brushing and flossing will become second nature, a habit they'll begin doing on their own without being told. Once instilled, it'll be a habit they'll practice long after they leave your care — and one they'll hopefully pass on to their own children.
If you would like more information on proper dental care for your child, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "How to Help Your Child Develop the Best Habits for Oral Health."
In real life he was a hard-charging basketball player through high school and college. In TV and the movies, he has gone head-to-head with serial killers, assorted bad guys… even mysterious paranormal forces. So would you believe that David Duchovny, who played Agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files and starred in countless other large and small-screen productions, lost his front teeth… in an elevator accident?
"I was running for the elevator at my high school when the door shut on my arm," he explained. "The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the hospital. I had fainted, fallen on my face, and knocked out my two front teeth." Looking at Duchovny now, you'd never know his front teeth weren't natural. But that's not "movie magic" — it's the art and science of modern dentistry.
How do dentists go about replacing lost teeth with natural-looking prosthetics? Today, there are two widely used tooth replacement procedures: dental implants and bridgework. When a natural tooth can't be saved — due to advanced decay, periodontal disease, or an accident like Duchovny's — these methods offer good looking, fully functional replacements. So what's the difference between the two? Essentially, it's a matter of how the replacement teeth are supported.
With state-of-the-art dental implants, support for the replacement tooth (or teeth) comes from small titanium inserts, which are implanted directly into the bone of the jaw. In time these become fused with the bone itself, providing a solid anchorage. What's more, they actually help prevent the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth loss. The crowns — lifelike replacements for the visible part of the tooth — are securely attached to the implants via special connectors called abutments.
In traditional bridgework, the existing natural teeth on either side of a gap are used to support the replacement crowns that "bridge" the gap. Here's how it works: A one-piece unit is custom-fabricated, consisting of prosthetic crowns to replace missing teeth, plus caps to cover the adjacent (abutment) teeth on each side. Those abutment teeth must be shaped so the caps can fit over them; this is done by carefully removing some of the outer tooth material. Then the whole bridge unit is securely cemented in place.
While both systems have been used successfully for decades, bridgework is now being gradually supplanted by implants. That's because dental implants don't have any negative impact on nearby healthy teeth, while bridgework requires that abutment teeth be shaped for crowns, and puts additional stresses on them. Dental implants also generally last far longer than bridges — the rest of your life, if given proper care. However, they are initially more expensive (though they may prove more economical in the long run), and not everyone is a candidate for the minor surgery they require.
Which method is best for you? Don't try using paranormal powers to find out: Come in and talk to us. If you would like more information about tooth replacement, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Crowns & Bridgework," and "Dental Implants."

Stretch your hamstrings and back, watch your open guard and inverting improve!
What's this Stretched hamstrings club all about?
Well most of the questions we receive start with 'I'm so inflexible, I can't even touch my toes when I bend over!' It's safe to say people often showcase their stiffness by doing the forward fold.
While not being able to touch your toes isn't devastating, being able to do so definitely helps in jiu jitsu. The two key players here are your hamstrings and your back.
If your hamstrings and back are tight (both or either), your forward-folding flexibility is limited. What does that mean for jiu jitsu? You're having more trouble playing guard, even passing it. Inverting with stiff hamstrings and/or tight back can be a nightmare, and can lead to serious back injuries.
Ain't nobody got time for back or hamstrings injuries, especially since they can be prevented with some discipline!
Without further a do, welcome to the Stretched hamstrings club. What you'll find here are videos targeting your hamstrings and back, appropriate for all levels. Make a routine out of them, transform your body and jiu jitsu!

Cafe Sauter from Preston
18 August 1913: Left: Sauter Cafe, dining room, saloon and delicatessen; Ed Kiam's clothing store with physicians and other professionals on the upper floors. In the commercial building on the east side of Main Street are various tailors, barbers, cigar stores, laundries, saloons, restaurants, and a billiard parlor and supply store. After Fannin Street are the large oak trees at the Courthouse. Right: commercial buildings include The Stewart Building, Paul and Settegast Buildings, and the Scanlan Building. Nearer still on the corner across Main Street are saloons, restaurants, pawnbrokers, laundries; the Salvation Army; clothing stores; The Royal Hotel; Roos Simon & Son clothing store; barbers and a billiard parlor [from the 1913 Houston City Directory].
25 January 2016: Left: Cafe Sauter operated until about 1916, when Henke & Pillot Delicatessen replaced it, the cafe here long ago demolished and now replaced with a parking lot. Further east is the Majestic Metro Theater, currently derelict, followed by the Kiam Building, currently unoccupied. Past Mainn Street is The Harris County Administration Building built in 1978) and past Fannin but not visible behind the County Building is the Courthouse Square, the building itself now restored.
Right: (From background to foreground) Most distant is The Paul Building on Fannin then the Scanlan Building on Main Street. On the corner of Travis, the building rising on the right has become Aris Market Square, a 32 floor residential tower at 409 Travis which features retail on the first floor, several parking floors and an entry courtyard on Main Street near Preston.
Postmarked: Houston, Texas; Date: 18 August 1913
Stamp: 1c Green George Washington #405
To: Mrs. Annie Wray 2223 Bryan St. Dallas Texas.
Message: Dear Annie How are you all this day? How did you all spend yesterday - I am fine and dandy. How is Baby Bill Is Mr Wray still with you all- Homer said the baby picture was awfully cute. Love to all – Write often. Etta
Annie was Annie Belle Davis, daughter of Thomas Spartan Davis and Mary Ann "Mollie" Colbert. She was born 27 September 1880 in Trebloc, Chickasaw County, MS, so she was 33 years old when she received this postcard from Etta. The identity of Etta cannot be established with the singular evidence of the postcard, but she was most likely her sister, Etta Davis, 37 years old and at the time unmarried. What she was doing in Houston is unclear, but she implores, "Write often," so she may have been testing out Houston as a place to live and work and planned to be there for a while. Etta Davis is not found on the city directories of either Dallas or Houston in 1913, but in any case within a few years she was back in Dallas.
Annie had married William Bolden Wray on 29 June 1910 when she was 26 and he was 35, so she had been married three years when the postcard arrived. Just six weeks earlier their daughter Mary Katherine was born on 4 June 1913, but Etta asks about "Baby Bill," and seems to be under the impression that the child was a boy. She mentions Homer admiring the picture, but Homer's identity is not clear. He was apparently not a relative, and may have been a boyfriend to whom she showed the baby picture. She asks if Mr Wray is still with the family, almost certainly meaning Annie's father-in-law, who must have stayed on while his grandson adjusted to family life.
Belton, Bell County, TX was the home of her in-laws, William Boland Wray, Sr., and Kate D. Supple where they were proprietors of a small hotel in Belton. Annie and William lived at 2223 Bryan Way in 1913, at 1904 ½ Pearl Street in 1918-1920, both locations just east of downtown. After 1925 they moved to 700 Waverly Drive in the west side neighborhoods of Oak Cliff / Winnetka Heights, suburban enclaves that were beginning to be popular as motoring became a fact of life all across America. William worked as a railroad baggage agent throughout his entire working career, and Annie was a housewife. Their daughter married Oscar Beverly Suggs. About 1916 Etta married Jesse B. Jones, and by 1920 lived with her widowed sister, Bettie Wilds at 2010 Live Oak Street in the northeast Dallas neighborhood near Pearl and Bryan Streets where Annie had lived. Jesse made a living as a house painter and later an interior decorator while living by themselves in 1930 at 924 Marlborough Street, a quiet neighborhood in Oak Cliff once again near her sister. Before 1935 they moved to the Glendale and La Crescenta area Los Angeles, CA in a house on 3321 Honolulu St.
William died in 1937 of a heart attack, and Annie lived a widow's life for 16 years. Their daughter died in 1991, two years after her husband; they had no children. All are buried in Laural Land Cemetery in Dallas. Etta and Jesse were not listed in Glendale city directories after 1963, and their burials have not been located.
The east side of the corner of Travis and Preston now is locally famous for a colorful street art piece by Gonzo247, a Houston artist (Mario Enrique Figueroa, Jr.) from Aerosol Warfare Gallery entitled "Houston Is…" but more than a century ago 907 Preston was occupied by one of the most familiar of eateries in Houston – Café Sauter. The owner was Gustav Frederick Sauter, an immigrant from Germany, and his wife, Dorothea Wilhelmina, daughter of Friedrich Lippstreu and Fredericke Schmock from Prussia.
Sauter Café was a family operation, G.F. and Mina ran the deli with the help of their son Fritz (Frederick Gustav) and daughter, Pauline. The establishment featured the delicatessen featuring "fancy groceries," imported liquors, as well as a "Kansas City" meat market, a "Gentlemen's Restaurant and Bar," and a "Ladies Dining Parlor" upstairs. Fritz married Helen, daughter of William Edward Kuss and Helena Pinn of Üxheim in Rhineland-Pfalz, so the entire family was deeply German in origin and culture.
The Gustav Sauter family home at the turn of the 20th Century was on the south end of town where Main street ended at the San Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway, now where the US 59 overpass crosses Main and Blodgett south of the Sears Store. By 1910 they had moved to more prosperous quarters at 1020 Jackson, a location now an oak-shaded promenade in busy Discovery Green. Sauter Café, deli and saloon operated until about 1916 when the café and deli was bought out by Henry Henke and Camille G. Pillot and operated as Henke & Pillot Delicatessen for some years, and the saloon was bought out by Louis Sigel.
Fritz sold cigars out of 714 Texas until about 1920 when he operated The Sauter News Agency, wholesale news distributor and publisher of postcards, magazines and other printed matter at 1412 San Jacinto. Gustav (1857-1935) and Wilhelmina (1859-1936) are buried at Washington Cemetery (formerly German Society Cemetery), where the family plot is guarded over by the large obelisk of Friedrich Lippstreu. Fritz (1884-1965) and Helen (1889-1976) are interred at Forest Park Cemetery
The image on the postcard was also used as a stereo pair card, designed to be fitted into a parlor apparatus popular at the turn of the 20th century used to simulate 3-D images.

If You're Eating These Items For Breakfast, It's Time For A Wake-Up Call
Don't let this meal ruin your day.
Shraddha Varma
It's well known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But, an unhealthy breakfast is worse than no breakfast. If you're not eating the right foods for breakfast, Payal Kothari, Integrative Nutritionist and Life Coach says "this makes the body release excess insulin and store fat as a result." Hence, it is important to kick-start the day with a breakfast meal that provides the right combination of the required fibre, protein and healthy fats.
Thanks to the fast-paced lives that we lead, we intentionally or unintentionally scarf down greasy and unhealthy quick fixes for breakfast. These quick breakfast foods can take a toll on our bodies in the long run. To ensure we don't continue making these breakfast mistakes, we asked nutrition experts to share the worst breakfast foods according to them.
Sugary Breakfast CerealsAsk nutritionist Kavita Devgan about breakfast cereals and without hesitation she will say that they are nothing but a combination of refined carbohydrates and sugar which spike our blood sugar levels. Elevated blood sugar leads to rebound hunger and makes us eat more at the next meal.
Agreeing with Devgan, Kothari adds, "Many breakfast cereal labels proudly advertise that they are good sources of nutrients like vitamin A and iron. In reality, they are more harmful than beneficial as these are artificially added. Making sure where the sugar is on the ingredient label would be a good way to pick a cereal box. The higher on the list the greater damage to our bodies. Reading a label wisely is important before choosing your breakfast cereal".
Between oats and muesli, which is the better cereal for breakfast? If you're confused and don't know which cereal to choose for breakfast, let this story help you decide.
Just Coffee or TeaDowning just a single cup of tea or coffee for breakfast and thinking you're good to go? Devgan says think again, "Coffee for breakfast on an empty stomach can severely impact our digestion system in the morning. Plus, it is acidic, which is again bad news. Same goes for black tea."
Also Read: What people around the world eat for breakfast.
Fruit Juices
It is a similar situation for fruit juices. It's easier to gulp down a glass of juice for breakfast rather than eating a whole fruit before heading to college or work. But Kothari suggests otherwise. She shares that eating a fruit for breakfast instead would not just satiate our hunger but also give us energy all day long. "Drinking juice for breakfast causes your blood sugar to rise very quickly making you tired and shaky. Lack of fibre or fat does not satiate your hunger. Most bottled or canned fruit juices from the market hardly have any fruit juice in them. It is sweetened with sugar/high fructose corn syrup, thus, increasing your risk of obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases," explains the expert.
Instead of fruit juices, how about trying wheatgrass smoothies for breakfast? With their high nutritional value, they ensure a power-packed breakfast. Check out these wheatgrass smoothie recipes shared with LF chefs.
Store-bought YoghurtYoghurt is a good alternative, but picking up yoghurt from the store which comes loaded with 9 to 10 grams of sugar, preservatives and stabilisers is a huge mistake. Kothari provides an insight, good fats in your breakfast meal keep you full throughout the morning and help absorb essential nutrients from the foods you eat. Excess sugar makes the yoghurt tasty but causes sugar spikes which make you feel happy for a short duration. Then follows the slump and sugar craving." The expert also adds that preservatives and stabilisers, when consumed on a daily basis, are harmful to the gut bacteria that live in the digestive tract. Hence, she suggests going for home-made yoghurt over the ones available in stores.

Probiotics May Not Be Healthy For Everyone
Sugar-free energy bars made at home can be a healthy shortcut for
breakfast when you don't have the time or want to eat on the go. Follow this recipe to make your own batch of sugar-free energy bars at home.
Processed Meat
Coming to this type of meat, Devgan says, they contain a high dose of sodium and filler ingredients like dextrose and corn sugar. In addition to this, they are also calorie-heavy due to the high fat content in them.
Thanks to this list of unhealthy breakfast habits, you may think you have run out of breakfast options. But that's not true. Indian cuisine offers several snacks that make for tummy-filling breakfast options. This list of Indian breakfast options will leave you with many ideas.

We will be in USA for 12 months , what are the absolutely must sees and dos. We enjoy national parks and history.
We are mature Travelers and enjoy travelling independently. We are looking forward to motorhome ing are around the USA for 12 months.
3 Answers
Wow a whole year should give you plenty of time to see America. Arches National Park is one of my favorites, as is the Grand Canyon. The west coast is filled with amazing national parks and scenery. History wise you may like Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico which features ancient houses from over 11,000 years ago. Roadtrippers.com is helpful when planning a long road trip like that. about 7 years agoAnswered by Chris Long via Travellr.com
There are so many things you can put on this list. We are from Vancouver, Canada, but have had the opportunity to road trip across both the US and Canada on many occasions. You'll find 12 months won't be enough time for you but here's a few things to get the list started.
Starting from the West Coast:
- so much to see in California but the coastal highway is amazing. We went from San Francisco to the Oregon border, but even going from LA or San Diego all the way up would be great. So many quaint towns along the way
- in Northern California near the Oregon border is the great Redwood forest with some of the biggest trees in the world. There's one you can drive a car through, but that won't work for your RV. The trees are amazing to see though
- Once you cross the Oregon border, at the coast, there are the sand dunes that run for miles. An amazing natural site
- San Francisco, Portland and Seattle are great cities to visit as well...each have their own beauty
- Las Vegas is a place that just needs to be visited, even if you don't gamble. It's a uniqueness all on it's own
- From there you can do the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon - though I don't recommend doing them on the same day. Spending a couple of days at the Grand Canyon is something to consider.
- We drove from LA to Vegas and all the way to Nashville. There are some great National Parks there. You can get a pass for 1 year to visit all the parks in the US...I would recommend it
- If you have an iPad, invest $20 a month and get a 3G sim card for it. We found it a great way to research things and learn about the areas we were visiting
- Albuquerque, New Mexico has a Hot Air Balloon festival each year
- Oklahoma City has done a great job honouring the memory of those who died in the 1996 Federal building bombing
- If you make it down to Louisiana, New Orleans has a great culture to it
- Haven't spent much time in Texas but Texas is like it's own country so you probably don't want to miss it
- Memphis is home to Graceland, whether you're an Elvis fan or not, I've heard it's good
- Nashville is home to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Tennessee has a lot of good history to it about 7 years agoAnswered by iPadNomads via WorldNomads.com
Ran out of space!
- so much other history to the US...we haven't done much on the east coast but a lot of great things to see or do right along that coast
- of course, Mount Rushmore in South Dakota is another site to see
- Niagara Falls as well
- New York City isn't a great place for an RV, but you can always take the train in for the day
- so many parks to mention all across the country
- and if you can fit it in, make a trip through Canada...Montreal has a great culture with a tonne of museums
- I haven't been to eastern Canada but look forward to that road trip one day
12 months is a good amount of time, but it won't be enough, depending on if you want to travel slowly or see as many sites as possible.
Any specific questions, just ask as there are too many places to put into one broad answer, but this is a start :) about 7 years agoAnswered by iPadNomads via WorldNomads.com

Happy Birthday, Tyler, the Creator: 9 of His Most Iconic Moments
The eccentric rapper turns 29 today.
Today, March 6, 2020, Tyler Okonma—best known as Tyler, the Creator—turns 29 years old.
The polymathic rapper first rose to prominence as a founding member of the alternative hip-hop collective, Odd Future, whose debut album was released in 2012. And although multiple members of the now-inactive group have experienced fruitful solo careers—Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt among them—Tyler, the Creator's has arguably left the most recognizable influence. With five studio albums, a clothing line, a music festival, and much more on his resume, Tyler has been cited as a major inspiration to Gen Z icons like Billie Eilish and BROCKHAMPTON's Kevin Abstract.
Occasionally controversial but always a brilliant artist, Tyler has made himself known as not only a masterful musician, but a filterless class clown of the real world. Below, here are nine of Tyler, the Creator's most iconic moments.
Mawrk the Chef
Lest we never forget when Tyler guested on a parody cooking show, divulged his delectable cinnamon waffle recipe, probably had to buy someone a new toaster, and spawned an evergreen phrase: "Suck my d--k, white America."

Stop Turning Exclusively to White Movies for Comfort
Breaking down the bias of comfort films.
With the constant onslaught of complicated news that 2020 has brought, sometimes you just want to be able to shut off your brain, relax, and feel happy.
Enter comfort films. These are the feel-good movies that feel like a warm hug when you finish them, the ones that allow you to escape for a short while. We often turn to these types of films in times of trouble or extreme stress, and when we're not sure what films of this nature we should watch, we turn to the Internet for options.
How Mariah Carey Paved the Way for Hip-Hop's Reign Over Pop
25 years ago, pop stars and rappers were were expected to stay in their respective lanes. But Mariah Carey proved that hip-hop and pop were a match made in heaven—changing popular music as we know it.
Hip-Hop is pop—not in sound, but rather in terms of influence and authority.
Certainly pure pop—pasteurized and whipped into its ultimate peak in the early 2010s—is still breathing, though despite its name, the genre's reign as the chieftain of popular music has ended.
Drake and Bad Bunny are as much of pop stars in 2020 as Carly Rae Jepsen and Kesha were in 2012. Spotify reports that, at this very moment, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" is the most-streamed song in the United States. Immediately following that is trap-pop cut "Mood," a TikTok-famous summer bop by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, two of many rising zoomer rappers who have embraced Hip-Hop's guidance in most melodic forms, like trap-pop, emo rap, alternative hip-hop, and pop-rap. And if that's not enough to give Hip-Hop a throne, Nielsen Music has confirmed that eight of the top 10 artists of 2020 so far are, of course, rappers.

The art project has now finished (unfortunately) after 6 weeks of work. Five young people from Tonyrefail came together for two hours every Wednesday at Capel Farm resource centre to engage with activities such as foam work to start off, followed by T shirt making, decopatch, clay work, and a couple of catch up sessions. The course was accredited with ASDAN activities award, where each young person had to do at least 10 hours work.
The young people really enjoyed the project, and one session was observed by Les Davies, Deputy Team Leader of the detached team. The sessions were relaxed, calm and were a lot of fun. In fact, I think laughter seemed to be the main ingredient of this course!
Sophie wrote: "I thought it was cool it was actually really entertaining as well and I have never been to a place where it has been so easy to make friends."

We believe that our programme provides a good service to all our customers. Our Directors, Tutors, Assessors, Client Services Team and other staff work very hard to build positive relationships with all our customers. However, we are obliged to have procedures in place in case there are complaints. The following policy sets out the procedure that the MiddletonMurray follows in such cases.
Aims and objectives
MiddletonMurray aims to be fair, open and honest when dealing with any complaint. We give careful consideration to all complaints and deal with them as swiftly as possible. We aim to resolve any complaint through dialogue and mutual understanding and, in all cases, we put the interests of the customer above all other issues. We provide sufficient opportunity for any complaint to be fully discussed, and then resolved.
The Complaints Process
How to share a concern
If a customer is concerned about anything to do with the service that we are providing they should in the first instance, discuss the matter with a Client Services Manager. Most matters of concern can be dealt with in this way. Client Services Managers work very hard to ensure that each customer is satisfied with the service we are providing. They always want to know if there is a problem, so that they can take action before the problem seriously affects the customer.
What to do if the matter is not resolved through informal discussion
Where a customer feels that a situation has not been resolved through contact with the Client Services Manager, or that their concern is of a sufficiently serious nature, they should make an appointment to discuss it with the Head of Department that is relevant to the claim. The Head of Department will consider any such complaint very seriously and investigate each case thoroughly. Most complaints are normally resolved at this stage.
Sharing a concern about the Head of Department relevant to the claim
Should a customer have a complaint about the Head of Department relevant to the claim, s/he should first make an informal approach to one of the other Directors, who is obliged to investigate it. The Director will then do all s/he can to resolve the issue through a dialogue with all parties involved, but if a customer is unhappy with the outcome, then s/he can make a formal complaint to the Group Managing Director, Angela Middleton.
How to take the matter further
Only if a formal or informal complaint fails to be resolved should it be made to the CEO. This complaint must be made in writing, stating the nature of the complaint and how members of staff have handled it so far.
The Group Managing Director will consider all written complaints within three weeks of receipt and schedule a meeting to discuss the complaint, and invite the person making it to attend the meeting, so that s/he can explain their complaint in more detail. The complainant will be given at least three days' notice of the meeting.
After hearing all the evidence, the CEO considers their decision and informs the customer in writing. The CEO will do all they can at this stage to resolve the complaint to complainants satisfaction.
Who to appeal to next
If any complaint has not been dealt with satisfactorily, then s/he is entitled to appeal to the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Monitoring and review
The Directors monitor the complaints procedure, in order to ensure that all complaints are handled properly. All complaints received by the organisation are then logged along with how they were resolved. The senior management team examines this log on a weekly basis.
The senior management team take into account any local or national decisions that affect the complaints process, and make any modifications necessary to this policy. This policy can be made available to customers, so that they can be properly informed about the complaints process.
