Short list
On 15 January 1807, Meriwether Lewis submitted to the Secretary of War "A Roll of the men who accompanyed Captains Lewis and Clark on their late tour to the Pacific Ocean through the interior of the continent of North America, showing their rank with some remarks on their rispective merits and services." He wrote remarks on only eleven of the twenty-nine men on the list,1 and cited only one of those as having "uncommon skill as a hunter and woodsman." That was George Drewyer, of course, the "man of much merit" who had been especially valuable on account of his knowledge of "the common language of gesticularion." Lewis went so far as to point out that Drewyer had received the agreed-upon salary of twenty-five dollars per month (plus one ration per day), but added that "it is not unusual for individuals, in similar employments, to receive 30 dollars per month." Neither Dearborn nor Congress took the hint.
The only other man Lewis officially recognized as a hunter was John Newman, whom he had discharged from the Corps of Discovery as well as the Army, in punishment for "certain mutinous expressions" committed at "an unguarded moment." In an effort to redeem himself, Lewis admitted, Newman–"a man of uncommon activity and bodily strength"–had exposed himself to extreme risks on a hunting trip at Fort Mandan and suffered severely painful frostbite on his hands and feet. Furthermore, during the return of the expedition's barge to St. Louis, Lewis later learned, Newman had been extremely serviceable as a boatman and hunter despite his status as a civilian. For those reasons Lewis suggested to Dearborn that Newman receive one-third of the sum Lepage earned for taking his place in the outfit. Dearborn passed that on to Congress; Newman received $62.83-1/3, Lepage earned $111.50 (An ordinary private was paid $166.66-1/3.2)
Lewis also drew the Secretary's attention to Private John Shields's skill and ingenuity in repairing the Corps' guns and accoutrements, which kept the hunters' firelocks in top condition. He recommended extra pay for Shields as an artificer,3 but said nothing about Shields's other services, even though, in his journal entry for 10 June 1805, he acknowledged that the talented Tennesseean was also "a good hunter and an excellent waterman." Both Congress and Dearborn ignored Lewis's recommendation.Only two names, Drewyer's and Newman's, constituted the full extent of a formal list of hunters, but an informal roster of the rest is present in the journals.
Fig. 25
Hstorian Arlen J. (Jim) Large tallied the journalists' references to hunters by name, and came up with a list of nine who were mentioned in connection with "hunting episodes" a total of twenty-five times or more–a purely arbitrary cutoff number.5 George Drewyer led the list with a total of 153 hunting episodes. The remaining eight men on the honor roll were:
Reubin Field, 92
Joseph Field, 83
John Shields, 63
John Collins, 61
George Shannon, 53
François Labiche, 42
John Colter, 32
George Gibson, 28
Eleven of the Corps were named as hunters fewer than ten times. Those also-rans, by Large's count, were Robert Frazer with 9 hunting episodes; Joseph Whitehouse, 8; William Bratton, 6; Jean Baptiste Lepage, 6; Toussaint Charbonneau, 4; Thomas Procter Howard, 5; John Potts, 3; Richard Windsor, 3; John Thompson, 2; Peter Weiser, 2; Silas Goodrich, 1; and Hugh McNeal, 1. Clark's servant, York, carried a gun and was taken along on 10 hunting episodes, but was only given credit for one buffalo, one buck deer, two geese, and eight brants. Two men–Hugh Hall and Robert Werner, who were among the recruits from South West Point, Tennessee–were never mentioned among the hunters at all. Not very good woodsmen, according to Lewis, they were the lower half of the four who had been sent from South West Point, none of whom were hunters.
Five men stood in a distinct class between the best and the worst:
Sgt. Patrick Gass, 22;The sergeants' extra responsibilities as non-commissioned officers may have interfered with their participation in any more hunting episodes. Willard's position in the list may simply reflect his priority as a blacksmith at Fort Mandan, if not his ambivalent status as a hunter. Cruzatte scored well even though his impulsive behavior led him into unpredictable responses to circumstances, ranging from timidity to recklessness, including the wounding of Captain Lewis (see Closest Call).
Alexander Willard, 19;
Sgt. John Ordway, 18;
Pierre Cruzatte, 16;
Sgt. Nathaniel Pryor, 12.
At Camp Chopunnish on 18 May 1806, Sergeant Gass remarked that "ten of the party turned out to hunt," and recorded their names, although whether they were volunteers or under orders is unknown. They were the two Field brothers, Drewyer, Lepage, Shannon, Collins, Labiche, Cruzatte, Shields, and Gibson. Lewis claimed there were twelve men in the detail; Moulton speculates that the additional two were Potts and Whitehouse, neither of them a high-ranking hunter, who were sent along to help Collins retrieve the meat of a bear he had previously shot. Lepage may have gone along on this detail for a similar reason, since he was also out of his league.
Maturing fellowship
Membership in the cadre of hunters was not a reward but an earned responsibility, and no special benefits came with it. It was simply a matter of endurance, reliability, integrity, and know-how–in a word, professionalism. There was no reason for Lewis, Clark, or any of the other journalists to keep records on who was sent out. Therefore, there is no reason to place much significance on the totals we can tally from the journals. We read that "the hunters" or "our best hunters" were sent out on a given morning, but they are not always named.
In every journalist's book, however, "our hunter" was George Drewyer. Early in January of 1806 at Fort Clatsop, Lewis at last extolled the other exceptional skill of the French Canadian-Shawnee Indian he had originally hired as a sign-talking interpreter. On the morning of the twelfth he sent Drewyer and another man out to hunt. "They returned in the evening, Drewyer having killed seven Elk," Lewis wrote, continuing warmly, "I scarcely know how we should subsist were it not for the exertions of this excellet hunter." To Lewis's encomium Clark appended his own tribute: ". . . I beleive but badly; . . . maney others also exert themselves, but not being accquainted with the best method of finding and killing the elk, . . . they are unsucksessful in their exertions." George Drewyer was a certifiable "Boone."
Eight days later, on the twentieth, Lewis voiced his frustration over his inability to persuade the men to restrain their appetites when plenty of meat was on hand in order to tide them over periods when it was scarce. They would eat their fill and then calmly endure "a small touch of fasting." In those cases, he admitted with evident pride, "our skill as hunters afford us some consolation, for if there is any game of any discription in our neighbourhood we can track it up and kill it. most of the party have become very expert with the rifle." He didn't bother to name the men who qualified as hunters in his summary. There was no official reason for him to keep tabs.
Final exam
Jim Large admitted that there are drawbacks to the name-count method of ranking those who hunted. It defies exact statistical comparisons and conclusions. Very often the journalists simply referred to "the hunters," "our hunters," or "five hunters," and so on. There is no way of knowing what secrets might be hidden behind those anonyms.
Born to Hunt
He pulled guard duty and perhaps policed the messes, sallied forth as an independent hunter, backed up a few of the guys, hauled in his own kills and helped retrieve others'. He put up with the same discomforts as the rest of the nimrods–the tortures of mosquitoes and cactus spines, the oppressive heat and humidity on the lower Missouri, the barbed awns of needle-and-thread grass. He went AWOL at least one night for some reason–perhaps a strictly personal one–that he never revealed. He impressed many of the natives with his personality and wisdom, but unlike any of the other hunters, he was captured twice by Indians, and had to be rescued by his comrades.
Hunting was not his main responsibility, so he didn't rack up the kill record of the professionals, but he took to it more spontaneously than any of them. Bagged a few gray squirrels. Dragged in the carcasses of a wounded deer or two. Snagged an unknown number of geese. Nailed a couple of pronghorns as they swam across the Missouri. Tried to bring in a beaver once, but got seriously bitten by his prey's well-honed incisors. Nearly died.
What was his name?6
On the whole, the hit-and-run hunting tactics Clark used on the last leg of the trip back to St. Louis were tightly programmed, timed, and supervised. Unfortunately, many of the details historians might have wished them to remember were omitted from the journalists' pages. For one thing, anonymity shrouded identity. But who would have thought anyone would ever care? Five hunters are to go here, three there, six somewhere else; "Sent on 2 canoes with hunters"–how many in all?–"to kill some meat." Clark personally took charge of several forays, but didn't bother to mention names: "I with several of the men went out in pursute of Buffalow. . . . I took 3 hunters and walked on the N E Shore with a view to kill Some fat meet." "I took with me 8 men and prosued a Small Gang of [bison] Cows in the plains 8 miles." Success was spotty, and the meat was uneven in quality. "Sent out 6 hunters they killed and brought in two Deer only." On 27 August Clark "Sent out the hunters to kill Some meat, our Stock of meat being now exousted, . . . the hunters returned in 3 hours without haveing killed any thing. . . . they Saw several Buffalow Bulls which they did not think proper to kill as they were unfit for use"–probably too lean. Even if they shot something, the summer heat and oppressive humidity made it hard to keep the meat from spoiling, so persistence trumped patience.
They stopped for two days (28 and 29 August) at their old campsite on the White River, of 16-17 September 1804. It was at the center of a sub-region so rich in wildlife and other natural resources that they remembered it as "Plumb Camp." This, Clark believed, would be their last chance to fill out their collection of wildlife specimens. He first dispatched the Field brothers to shoot some specimens of "the "Mule deer or the antilope neither of which we have either the Skins or Scellitens of." A few miles farther on he "Set Drewyer and Labeech on Shore with the Same directions." Later in the day, after camp was pitched, he sent Pryor, Shields, Gibson, Willard and Collins to hunt for the same quarry. He ordered Bratton and Frazer to kill a few prairie dogs. All were also ordered to shoot some magpies.7 But there were no pronghorns or mule deer to be seen, and not one of those myriad "barking Squirel" would come out of its hole. Even the otherwise inescapable mosquitoes were strangely absent. By late afternoon all eleven hunters returned "without any Speces of animal were in want of," but with five deer and two bison, and from those only as much of the best meat that the men who had shot them could carry. Meanwhile, "Several of the men and the Squaws of the enterpreter Jessomme and the Mandan Chief8 went to Some plumb bushes in the bottom and geathered more plumbs than the party Could eate in 2 days." Early the next morning Clark sent Shannon, Collins, Labiche and Willard to hunt, and Reubin Field in a canoe to pick up any meat the hunters bagged.
From their camp four miles above the Grand River on September 17 the captains sent "five hunters" ahead with instructions to stop and look for game somewhere below the Grand until the main party caught up with them the next morning. Clark and company passed the Grand at 7:00 a.m. and soon overtook the five, who had killed nothing. The Corps was still 140 miles and more than four days out of St. Louis, but after consuming their last ration of one biscuit each, all agreed to press on. Said Clark, "our anxiety as also the wish of the party to proceed on as expeditiously as possible to . . . the Illinois enduce us to continue on without halting to hunt."
the record of performances of the named hunters throughout this final leg of the expedition's journey appears to validate Jim Large's simple arithmetic summary. Their names–George Drewyer, Reubin Field, Joseph Field, John Shields, John Collins, George Shannon, and François Labiche–are also in Large's list of the nine that were mentioned in more than twenty-five hunting episodes. The eighth, John Colter, had resigned on August 16 to return to the Yellowstone River's beaver fields with Dixon and Hancock. George Gibson, the ninth in order in Jim Large's list, dropped into the second string, along with Nathaniel Pryor, William Bratton, Alexander Willard, and Robert Frazer.
The outline now seems bolder, but for lack of details the picture still is shadowy. Some of the men of the Corps of Volunteers for North Western Discovery had grown well beyond what they were when they volunteered. They were the men who fed the Corps, kept them alive and able. We think we know most of their names. But it is lamentable that history still is unable to give a full measure of credit where credit is due.

One could perhaps think of him as the expedition's mascot, although that word, with the concept it represented, was not in verbal currency until the 1880s. See also "Biggest Dog"

Either Clark thought of these as backups against the possibility of spoilage, loss in shipping, or death of caged specimens, or else he had forgotten the collections they had shipped back east from Fort Mandan: One box of "Skins of the Male and female Antelope, with their skeletons"; "a specimen of the fur of the Antilope"; another box containing "2 Horns and ears, of the Black tail, or Mule Deer"; plus a cage of "a liveing burrowing squirel of the praries [a black-tailed prarie dog]"; and a cage containing four live magpies.

HELP is at hand for companies that want to capitalise on the British government's Technology Foresight Programme. Thousands of scientists and engineers from academia and industry have taken part in the exercise, which is aimed at identifying the technologies that hold the most commercial promise for Britain over the next two decades.
But the results, expected over the next few months, will generate a vast amount of data covering 15 sectors of industry, from biotechnology and leisure to construction and telecommunications.
This is where the London-based Centre for Exploitation of Science and Technology, an independent think-tank funded by industry and government, hopes to help. The nonprofit-making organisation has set aside £5 million to be spent over the next five years on analysing the results for companies, or groups of companies.
Bob Whelan, chief executive of CEST, says: "We will show companies how they can apply Foresight's output to their own ...

In most programming languages, all values have a type which describes the kind of data a particular value describes. In some languages, the type is known only at runtime; these languages are dynamically typed. In other languages, the type is known at compile time; these languages are statically typed. In statically typed languages, the input and output types of functions and local variables ordinarily must be explicitly provided by type annotations. For example, in C:
The beginning of this function definition,
int addone(int x) declares that
addone is a function which takes one argument, an integer, and returns an integer.
int result; declares that the local variable
result is an integer. In a proposed language where type inference is available, the code might be written like this instead:
addone(x) {
val result; /*inferred-type result (in proposed language)*/
val result2; /*inferred-type result #2 */
result = x+1;
result2 = x+1.0; /* this line won't work */
return result;
}This looks very similar to how code is written in a dynamically typed language, yet all types are known at compile time. In the imaginary language in which the last example is written,
+ always takes two integers and returns one integer. (This is how it works in, for example, OCaml.) From this, the type inferencer can infer that the value of
x+1 is an integer, therefore
result is an integer, therefore the return value of
addone is an integer. Similarly, since
+ requires that both of its arguments be integers,
x must be an integer, and therefore
addone accepts one integer as an argument.
However, in the subsequent line, result2 is calculated by adding a decimal "
1.0" with floating-point arithmetic, causing a conflict in the use of
x for both integer and floating-point expressions. Such a situation would generate a compile-time error message. In older languages, result2 might have been implicitly declared as a floating-point variable, from implicitly converting integer
x in the expression, simply because a decimal point was accidentally placed after the integer 1. Such a situation shows the difference between type inference, which does not involve type conversion, and implicit type conversion, which forces data to the higher-precision data type, often without restrictions.
Type inference refers to the ability to deduce automatically, either partially or fully, the type of a value derived from the eventual evaluation of an expression. As this process is systematically performed at compile time, the compiler is often able to infer the type of a variable or the type signature of a function, without explicit type annotations having been given. In many cases, it is possible to omit type annotations from a program completely if the type inference system is robust enough, or the program or language simple enough.
To obtain the information required to infer correctly the type of an expression lacking an explicit type annotation, the compiler either gathers this information as an aggregate and subsequent reduction of the type annotations given for its subexpressions (which may themselves be variables or functions), or through an implicit understanding of the type of various atomic values (e.g., : Unit; true : Bool; 42 : Integer; 3.14159 : Real; etc.). It is through recognition of the eventual reduction of expressions to implicitly typed atomic values that the compiler for a type inferring language is able to compile a program completely without type annotations. In the case of highly complex forms of higher order programming and polymorphism, it is not always possible for the compiler to infer as much, however, and type annotations are occasionally necessary for disambiguation.
map, which applies a procedure to each element of a list, and may be defined as:
map f [] = []
map f (first:rest) = f first : map f rest
From this, it is evident that the function
map takes a list as its second argument, that its first argument
f is a function that can be applied to the type of elements of that list, and that the result of
map is constructed as a list with elements that are results of
So assuming that a list contains elements of the same type, we can reliably construct a type signature
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]where the syntax "
a -> b" denotes a function that takes an
a as its parameter and produces a
b. "
a -> b -> c" is equivalent to "
a -> (b -> c)".
Note that the inferred type of
map is parametrically polymorphic: The type of the arguments and results of
f are not inferred, but left as type variables, and so
map can be applied to functions and lists of various types, as long as the actual types match in each invocation.
The origin of this algorithm is the type inference algorithm for the simply typed lambda calculus, which was devised by Haskell B. Curry and Robert Feys in 1958. In 1969 Roger Hindley extended this work and proved that their algorithm always inferred the most general type. In 1978 Robin Milner , independently of Hindley's work, provided an equivalent algorithm, Algorithm W. In 1982 Luis Damas finally proved that Milner's algorithm is complete and extended it to support systems with polymorphic references.
where is a primitive expression (such as "3") and is a primitive type (such as "Integer").
We want to construct a function which maps a pair , where is a type environment and is a term, to some type . We assume that this function is already defined on primitives. The other cases are:
Note that so far we do not specify what to do when we fail to meet the various conditions. This is because, in the simple type checking algorithm, the check simply fails whenever anything goes wrong.
Now, we develop a more sophisticated algorithm that can deal with type variables and constraints on them. Therefore, we extend the set T of primitive types to include an infinite supply of variables, denoted by lowercase Greek letters
See for more details.
Unifying the empty set of equations is easy enough: , where is the identity substitution.
Unifying a variable with a type goes this way: , where is the substitution composition operator, and is the set of remaining constraints with the new substitution applied to it.
Of course, .
The interesting case remains as .
A simple example would be a[i] = b[i] (assume this to be c-like syntax for this example). First Hindley-Milner would find that i must be of type int, further more that 'a' must be an "array of " and 'b' must an "array of ". Now, since there is an assignment of to , must be of the same type (assuming no implicit type conversions) as . In the very least must be a supertype of .

There are various things you should prepare before going to do your fitness work-out. It is important to do preparations especially for beginners and those who are experiencing health problems which needs further attention. They have to prepare from the beginning of the process until they reach their goal of being fit and live a healthy lifestyle.
Gym Equipment – Making sure the equipment you are using is safe and secure by high standards is very important as safety always comes first. It is always good to know if the equipment you are using is new or refurbished. You often cant notice the difference. See Physique Sports Refurbished Gym Equipment for a run down on how they should be refurbished to a top standard.
Get registered in fitness gyms – if you want to work-out inside a fitness gym then you might want to register your name in that specific establishment. It is important to bring identification and give them your right personal information to avoid conflicts. Go for the gyms that can provide what you need by asking their facilities, the freebies you can get from joining and of course you need to consider your budget.
Claim your identification – after you do the searching for the perfect gym and get registered, maybe its time to get your identification and be part of something big. It is just the beginning so start preparing your body for work-outs and some muscles pain which is normal for beginners.
Ask for trainers especially for beginners – if you are new to do work-outs in gym then you might want to consider ask a trainer. But some gyms establishments normally provide trainers for beginners and they give service at least for 3 to 5 days until you know how to use the equipment that you can use inside fitness gyms. But you don't have to be afraid or feel worried in using that equipment because there are people who are ready to assist you any time.
Do online research for further instructions that will help you in specific improvements – if you want to know more about fitness gym equipment and what more you can enjoy inside. Then you might want to go for an online research and see what you can get out from using gym equipment. There are fun tips that will make you enjoy fitness gym work-outs. It will add spice especially when you get bored of doing it or you need a bit of encouragement for your exercise.
Prepare your things ahead of time – you should know what to prepare for your fitness workout and this is important especially for new to fitness out there. They have to prepare their clothes to wear, extra clothes after workout, bottle of water to keep you hydrated and many more. There are different things that you can use in work-outs and being prepared in what to bring is really important.
Keep hydrated – you should keep your body hydrated by bringing a bottle of water anywhere you go especially in doing work-outs where you will sweat more than the usual. You need to keep your body pumping and refuel it with clean water.
If you are one of the people who want to live a healthy life while busy with their daily work. Then give some time to spend it inside a fitness gym and keep your health prioritized. This will help you live longer and enjoy life to the fullest.
Again for more information on refurbished and new gym equipment that you can trust then see the guys over at: http://www.physiquesports.co.uk/

When to Expect Your Period after a Miscarriage
After a miscarriage you may be devastated, but it is not uncommon to begin to wonder right away when you will get your period again so you can begin trying to conceive all over again. Miscarriages are devastating, but the way that many of us cope is to start planning again for the future, otherwise we could get lost in our grief. Your doctor has likely told you that you need to wait until you have had a normal period and then you can begin trying to conceive again. So, when will you get your period?
Every woman is different, but generally you can expect to get your period in four to six weeks. Some women get their period just a couple weeks later, while some women do not get their period for three or more months. Your specific situation will be different than any other womans. So, when do I start counting from now until four weeks, you might ask? You should expect to get your period about four weeks after a D&C and you might expect to see your period around six weeks after a miscarriage that did not require a D&C. Remember that what is normal really varies widely, but if something doesnt feel right or it has been more than 12 weeks you might want to put a call into your doctor to be sure that all is well.
Also, you need to remember that if you are having unprotected sex, you can become pregnant again soon after having a miscarriage. It is generally thought that you are not fertile for four to six weeks after a miscarriage, but many women have conceived as little as two weeks after a miscarriage. If it has been a few weeks since your miscarriage and you havent see your period and you have symptoms of pregnancy, it wouldnt be out of the question to buy a home pregnancy test to be sure that you are not pregnant, stranger things have happened!
Ideally is it a good idea to wait at least one cycle before you begin trying to conceive again after a miscarriage. If for some reason you do conceive earlier it generally isnt an issue. Its also important to remember that your previous miscarriage usually isnt an indication that you will not be able to carry another pregnancy to term. The best thing to do is to take time to grieve your miscarriage and only move on to trying to conceive again when you are emotionally ready so you are in the best emotional place possible to get pregnant. A miscarriage can be hard, but soon you will have a normal period and you will be ready to try again!
bethany munson
i had my miscarriage on jan 22 2013…its now feb 20th and still no period or any symptoms just wondering if i should be getting worried since its been almost a month now
bethany, I miscarried on Jan 20 2013 and now its Feb 22 and I haven't started my period either. From what I've read it can take anywhere from 4-7 weeks to get your period after a miscarriage and some women even take a few months before their period returns.
hi girls I miscarried on17/1/ 2013 and its now 24/03/2013 its quite normal for it to take up to 7 weeks if its longer than 12 make an appointment to see your gp
Hello ladies I miscarried on my daddys bday 3/4/13 and it is now 6/12/13 and still no normal period and my MD wants me to have two normal cycles before I can start trying again, but I have been trying for almost 5yrs now and I was super impatient at first but through consistent prayer and meditation I am finally at peace with it and just staying faithful for the best, but like denise said anything 12wks or more you should see your MD/GYN…MANY blessings to all
Hi I had a miscarriage on March 29th had a normal period April 26 and had no period in may but got it in June 25th is that normal. Made an apt with my doctor just want to hear any feed back if this has happen to any one before.
Makeisha Orr
I miscarriage in feb 11,2014 wen i went for a 12week ultrasound to find out my baby passed at 8weeks. I had my D&C feb 20,2014. Its now march 26,2014 wen will i get my period.

I am short of words, but all i can say is a thank you to Dr zogo for making me and my family a happy home, i have been married for 2 years without a child and i had 4 miscarriage within this time, i saw a post that says contact Dr zogo for Infertility help, so i did, after he cast a pregnancy spell on me i get pregnant few weeks later, and i am 7 months pregnant now without any complications, so i decide to drop this here for any body going through infertility problem to contact Dr zogo on email@example.com and you will be happy you did.
you…are..an ….idiot
I ha a miscarriage around Thanksgiving of 2014… I still haven't had a period and I took a home pregnancy test last night and it came out positive… I don't want to get my hopes up and not be pregnant. Please any advice!!!

Did you have unprotected sex during that month? If so, you could be pregnant. The pregnancy hormone (hcg) should be out of your system now. You might want to get the doctor to do a blood test to find out what level of hcg you have in your system.
I had a miscarriage about the same time as you and I am belong getting a faint positive. Test again tomorrow and see if it's getting darker. If it's still there, call your doctor and make an appointment for them to check your levels. Good luck to you! 😉
Did u know youbeere ovulating, are you pregnant? Good luck if so.

There have been many different books that have had claims of racism. Many of these books are children's books. There could be a variety of reason on why there are hints of racism in these books. These books were written and published a long time ago. Books like Huckleberry Fin and Pippi Longstocking are all books that were written a while back, but are still enjoyed by children today.
There is an interesting dichotomy here. On one hand we have priceless classics that are primarily targeting children, and on the other hand we have these books that have some unacceptable terms or overlying ideas. The question is how do these books effect children? From an outside perspective, I think it must plant the seed of question in children. In lecture, we learned that most modern racism is ties with cognition. After reading such book children will start asking question such as what is this word? Why do these children do this and the other children do this?
In lecture, it was said the best ways to desegregate were:
· Start Early
· Employ equal status contact
So what can be done? Should we ban these books from school? There have been a few times where Huckleberry Fin has been banned from various places.
I think we should just "modernize" them. I think if we do this we can have the best of both worlds. We can keep the classic books and we can let the young future generation read them. The future generation will then get a sense of what the older books were like and avoid the maybe present racism.

This kale comes courtesy of Rebecca Flack of Decatur Rec Camp--she and members of the Girls Green Team went out to Decatur High School to help pull their kale and Rebecca was able to drop it off last night here at the Food Bank. How awesome is that?!
Now, gardeners, we will whole heartedly accept donations of the fresh fruit and veggie kind, but have you heard of Plant a Row for the Hungry? Plant a Row is really cool--as the name suggests, plant another row of veggies in your garden and donate the surplus produce to one of the designated drop-off sites throughout metro Atlanta. In turn, the agencies will distribute the food to residents in your own community who need (and will appreciate) it the most. Did you just have a plentiful bounty? Donate some of that! The Food Bank was based on the principle that if you have more than enough, you share with those that who need it most. To date this year, gardeners have donated around 12,333 pounds to Plant a Row which is AMAZING. Don't have a garden? Find a Community Garden! They're great ways to cultivate your own spot and make friends along the way.

Much-needed cheerful updates from the brilliant Jorge Primo
Last time we featured Jorge Primo on the site I was banging on about how sunny it was outside and how fittingly bright his work was. That was in July 2012 and everything in London was rose-tinted. Today the rain won't stop coming down and I got soaked on the way to work, but still Jorge's cheerfully colourful identity for carpenters Picapino has brought a smile to my face. Which really goes to show that great design even has the power to lift your spirits on the most depressing days.
To make things EVEN better, Jorge has just updated his website with loads of other great work alongside this particular project, so there's plenty of mood-lifting design to go round even if this crappy weather persists. Sweet!

ARTS BEAT: Free foreign film series at USI starts with an exploration of ocean life
The best and most interesting movie bargain in town picks up again this week with the University of Southern Indiana's fall Friday in the Forum series.
Admission is free and open to the public for the foreign film series, presented by USI's College of Liberal Arts and the Tri-State Film Society. With stadium seating, Dolby sound and full, 35mm projection, this rivals any movie auditorium in town.
Audience expectations are a bit higher, however. No food, no conversation and no live cellphones or other electronic devices are permitted.
"Oceans," a 2009 French film released by Disney, opens the lineup Friday, playing, as will all the shows, at 7:30 p.m. As with all the movies in the free, public series, an informal discussion will follow the film, which takes viewers deep into the blue to explore the life beneath the ocean's surface.
"The Mill and the Cross," a 2011 Polish/Swedish release that takes the audience inside the scene depicted in a 16th-century painting by Pieter Bruegel, will play Nov. 2.
"Henry of Navarre," a 2010 German film exploring the remarkable career arc of France's King Henry IV, will screen Nov. 9.
After a two-week gap, "Vincent Wants to Sea," a German 2010 road movie following a man with Tourette's syndrome as he and two others escape an institution, will run Nov. 30.
The series will conclude Dec. 7 with "The Skin I Live in," Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's 2011 film about a doctor's obsession with synthesizing a perfect skin after his wife burns to death in a car accident.
zombie alert
This is what I call marketing.
The news release for D'Alto Studio Theater's next show is at once a cautionary caveat and sensational sales pitch.
The announcement for Friday's opening of a stage adaptation of George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" classic horror film best speaks for itself:
"This show is not for the faint of heart. Children under age 14 are strongly cautioned, as this show will be presented in full, realistic zombie makeup using stage blood with sounds of screaming and gun shots during periods of darkness in intense situations in an intimate setting."
Naem Madi, a D'Alto instructor and social media manager, directed the show, to be performed by 30 community players who will presumably lurch, gnash, moan and wail through performances beginning at 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday in the studio's theater at 303 B Stockwell Road.
Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. For more information, visit www.daltoarts.com or call 812-402-4166.

Swift Current Broncos
The Swift Current Broncos made pair of trades prior to last week's trade deadline adding a pair of forwards to their already potent attack. They got things moving early with the New Years Day acquisition of overager Nathan Burns and then made a late move Friday, adding 18-year-old Geordie Maguire.
Burns made an immediate impact, scoring only 1:30 into his home debut, a 5-0 win over his former team, the Saskatoon Blades.
"It was awesome, it felt really good," said the 6'2'' Edmonton native. "There are unreal fans here, it felt like they are all so supportive of the team. I think that is pretty cool. I have played in Vancouver and Saskatoon and they are definitely bigger cities, but the fan support is different here and I like it a lot."
Burns had 16 goals and 27 assists in 40 games with the rebuilding Blades. He also boasted a plus-five rating for a team that had allowed 53 more goals than they had scored. Burns was acquired along with a seventh round pick in 2014. Heading the other way was overage forward Connor Sanvido, as well as prospect Wyatt Sloboshan, a second round pick in 2014, and a conditional third round pick in 2015.
"I kind of had a feeling that I was going to get traded, there was rumors and stuff going around. I didn't know where or who was trying to get me or whatnot. It kind of caught me by surprise but I am happy," said Burns.
He said he is excited to skate with the home team at the Credit Union iplex.
"Actually I remember that every time we came to this rink it is a hard rink to play in. Swift Current they use it to their advantage, they definitely take away your time and space and they are a hard team to play against."
Burns finished the weekend tied for 22nd in league scoring with 46 points in 44 games but he prides himself in playing a two-way game. His work in the faceoff circle stood out during his debut weekend at home with the Broncos.
"I just kind of take pride in it. I just switched over to centre this year actually. I was all right at face-offs, it was something that I wanted to bear down on and work on, I think that has definitely added to my game. It is a two-way game and I think that is one of the biggest parts is being able to compete and know what to do at both ends of the ice. I just really take pride in that."
"He has been excellent," said Broncos General Manager and Head Coach Mark Lamb after seeing Burns' impact during four games in a Bronco uniform. "He is a good two-way player and he lays it out there every shift. He is going to fit right in here, he has already fit in like he has been here all year. He knows our systems. I look at him at the end [tonight] winning those face-offs, creating scoring chances, he is just going to be a solid player for us."
Lamb had been looking to upgrade his line-up with a top-six forward as the deadline approached.
"It was that type of player… A good 94 like that just wasn't around. He was a guy that we were watching really close. He could play left wing, he could play centre. He is a compliment player that I think really fits into our game."
Lamb also pulled the trigger to add Maguire on deadline day. The Broncos sent a sixth-round pick in the 2015 draft to the Regina Pats in return. The 6'0, 175-pound left wing has seven goals and seven assists in 27 games with Regina this season. The Winnipeg native also had a minus-three rating and 20 penalty minutes.
We have a very deep team. We have four good lines, we have very good defense, and Eetu in net, he is one of those goalies that can steal you a lot of games Nathan Burns
"I am pretty excited. These guys are high in the standings and have put themselves in a good position going forward and heading into the playoffs. I am really excited to get the chance to contribute to a team that is definitely a playoff contender," said Maguire, who has yet to make his debut with the Broncos.
He skated last season with the Brandon Wheat Kings with four goals, five assists, and 18 penalty minutes in 65 games as a rookie before joining the Pats this season.
"I was in a bit of slump going into the trade deadline so I wasn't sure what was going to happen. When we picked up [Logan] McVeigh there I kind of realized that I was probably going to get bumped out of where I was playing usually. I wasn't too surprised, but it is always a weird feeling when you get traded."
He had played in eight games against the Broncos during his career, notably scoring both goals for the Pats in the season opening 7-2 loss.
"I never enjoyed playing the Broncos. They were always a really hard-hitting and hard-working team and that is what I am going to have to do to be able to contribute with this team."
He was riding a five-game pointless streak in Regina but is hoping to find his scoring touch in Swift Current.
"I am the type of player that likes to use my speed, get in on the forecheck, chip pucks in and I also like to use my shot when I get the opportunity. I think I am going to be able to definitely contribute some secondary scoring with this team. Wherever I can chip in I will do everything I can."
"He is a skill guy," said Lamb. "He is another one of those guys that is trying to find his way. We have had a few guys in here that have done that. With his upside he will dictate exactly where he will fit and how much he play on this team, but he has the skill."
The Broncos should be a different team this weekend with the addition of Burns and Maguire and the return of defenseman Julius Honka from the World Junior Championships.
"I think we can be one of the dominant teams in the league," said Burns. "We have a very deep team. We have four good lines, we have very good defense, and Eetu in net, he is one of those goalies that can steal you a lot of games. Obviously we don't want to rely on him, but I think we have a very deep group and we can go as far as we want to go I think."
Burns was impressed with the team off the ice as well.
"It is a really tight group in the dressing room. I think that is kind of the biggest difference is that there is no gaps between older guys and younger guys and I think that is a huge part to a team. I think without that it allows you to bond and you can build chemistry way easier than if there is cliques."

Chances are you spend your day focused on compliance, customer retention, finances, production, sales… Working on the "floors, walls and ceiling" but overlooking the foundation upon which all of these activities rest. TRUST is essential… your most valuable personal and professional asset… and if you're like most, trust is in dire need of your attention.
The BBB TRUST! Assessment is an excellent all-employee tool for organizations to gain a diagnosis and determine next steps for building a trust-advancing culture. The responses highlight both areas for celebration and improvement... and leadership is supported every step of the way.
The TRUST! Assessment is:
Easy... Employees are directed to a unique, company confidential URL.
Quick... It takes just 15 minutes to complete.
Confidential... Anonymous responses are used to generate a summary report.
Affordable... Organizations pay $50 - $600 based on company size.
Turnkey... Employee communication templates are provided along with simple instructions to
help initiate the survey, interpret the results, and guide plans for building an even more ethical
Powerful... The survey can be taken annually, with comparative data and trend data subsequently
available to help companies monitor progress and results.
Trust is the foundation for good leadership, marketplace efficiency, sustainable business, and ultimately free markets. And if you're like most, it's in dire need of attention.

It sold for $34,500. The ever-popular mid-years ('63-'67) drew active bidding, with top honors going to a '67 Tuxedo Black (rare color) with the optional 427ci/435hp engine with complete documentation, including the Protect-O-Plate. This beauty found a new home at $77,100. Also at the higher end of the market was an original, numbers-matching '65 convertible with an original, numbers-matching 396ci/425hp engine, which sold for $67,500.

Prices for '85-'96 Corvettes were soft, with only a '90 ZR-1 selling for more than $10,000. One C5 Corvette, a '99 model, crossed the auction block and was termed a good buy at $23,100.

Quote: "Education is one of the most valuable assets in life because it is something that
can never be taken away from you."
An ancient philosopher, Confucious, once said, "Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I may remember. But involve me and I will understand." That concept is manifest in both Dr. Eric Oestmann's educational philosophy and the project-based approach to learning that is taken with degree programs offered through AIU Online. "I have always hung my hat on understanding as the key to effective teaching and learning methods. I tend to utilize a combination of various teaching styles, particularly androgogy, which is an adult learning theory that emphasizes a combination of knowledge gained through life experiences with the application of that knowledge in the real world. Whether through lecture, participation, application, or self-learning, involvement maximizes the potential for students to understand and learn concepts."
Dr. Oestmann's educational philosophy is also founded in the wide array of academic and professional experience that he brings to the courses that he facilitates through AIU Online. He earned a Master's degree in Physical Therapy from the University of South Dakota and earned two doctorate degrees in Healthcare Administration and Management, one from Southwest University in New Orleans in 1999 and one that he earned online through Capella University in 2006. "Research is one of my passions. Earning a second doctorate degree gave me the opportunity to take my first doctoral dissertation, which was "Mutual Expectation Theory of Motivation," and tests that theory over seven years of implementation in community hospitals for my second doctoral dissertation." Dr. Oestmann also holds the following professional certifications:

Florence and the Machine performs at the Hackney Weekender festival at Hackney Marshes in east London, June 24, 2012. (REUTERS/Olivia Harris)
LOS ANGELES: Florence Welch, lead singer of the British band Florence + The Machine, has suffered a vocal injury and canceled two European festival performances, the singer said on Wednesday.
"Yes it's true ... it finally happened, I've lost my voice," Welch posted on her official Twitter feed. "I've sustained a vocal injury and been told i cannot sing for a week ... seriously I felt something snap, it was very frightening."
Welch, 25, canceled a performance for Thursday at Spain's Benicassim festival and one for Saturday at Portugal's Optimus Alive! festival.
The "Dog Days Are Over" singer, whose distinctive voice and style have been the band's hallmark during their rise to fame, said she was told to stop performing to avoid permanent damage. She gave no further details about her condition.
The singer later tweeted, "Thank you for your get well message's. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your love and support..x"
Florence + The Machine are midway through their summer festival tour, which they kicked off with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival in April in Indio, California. They are expected to perform at various festivals across North America and the United Kingdom through September.
Last year, singers Adele and John Mayer canceled performances because of vocal injuries.

"We miss you, Jeremy!" exclaimed the kindergarten class at Hancock Elementary School in Lemay, as they celebrated a virtual birthday with their classmate, Jeremy Courtois. Thanks to videoconferencing technology, Jeremy shared his sixth birthday with friends and teachers through a live television screen on Nov. 14.
Jeremy is recovering at home after his fourth open-heart surgery, performed on Oct. 29 by cardiothoracic surgeon Andrew Fiore, M.D., at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.
The class enjoyed cookie cake and ice cream at their desks, while Jeremy ate his birthday treats at home.
"He has the same ice cream we do," said one of the students, intrigued by the technology. "How did they mail it to him?"
Jeremy's videoconference birthday party was made possible by the Cooperating School Districts of Greater St. Louis, a local nonprofit educational agency that provides technology and equipment to schools in need.
"We are all just so excited about being able to do this for Jeremy," said Katie Wilber, Jeremy's teacher. "My students write in their journals about him every day. They ask about him all the time."
Jeremy is showing signs of full recovery and is expected to return to school in early December. His classmates are eager to see him again.
"How are you feeling Jeremy?" the class asked in unison.
"Better. My heart's fixed," said Jeremy with a smile.
The Caring School Community program also helped connect Jeremy with his classmates. CSC is a nationally recognized elementary school program that focuses on building a classroom and student community.
"This program makes everyone feel involved at school," said Assistant Principal Mike Dittrich. "Today we want Jeremy to know that he is part of this class."
"He's my best friend," said Meho Zukic, 5. "When he comes back, I'm going to hug him!"

press release
New research from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) projects in Kabezi, Burundi, and Bo, Sierra Leone, indicates that it is possible to achieve a rapid and substantial decrease in maternal deaths of up to 74 per cent by providing access to emergency obstetric care. MSF's research is the first of its kind to quantify the impact of such a model of care on maternal mortality in an African setting.
MSF data for 2011, published today in the paper Safe Delivery: Reducing maternal mortality in Sierra Leone and Burundi indicate that the introduction of an ambulance referral system together with the provision of emergency obstetric services can significantly reduce the risk of women dying from pregnancy related complications.
"You do not need state of the art facilities or equipment to save many women's lives," said Vincent Lambert, MSF's medical advisor for projects in Burundi. "MSF's experience can serve as an encouraging example for donors, governments and other NGOs who are considering investing in the improvement of access to emergency obstetric care in countries with a high maternal mortality rate."
MSF's data indicate that maternal mortality in Burundi's Kabezi district has fallen to 208 per 100,000 live births, compared to a national average of 800 per 100,000 live births1 - a 74 per cent decrease. For the same year, in Sierra Leone, MSF figures indicate that maternal mortality in Bo district has decreased to 351 per 100,000 live births, compared to 890 per 100,000 in the rest of the country 1- a 61 per cent reduction.
The comprehensive emergency obstetric care provided at MSF's hospitals in Bo and Kabezi is offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and all services are free of charge. The total annual running costs of the programmes are equivalent to €1.5 for each person in Bo district and €3.2 for each person in Kabezi district.
"Here in Sierra Leone, giving birth is often a life-threatening endeavour for many women," says Betty Raney, obstetrician with MSF in Sierra Leone. "In my 25 years as an obstetrician, I have never seen such a level of severity among the patients. Had they not had any access to care, many of them would have died."
Sierra Leone and Burundi both suffer from extremely high rates of maternal mortality, due to problems around access to good quality antenatal- and obstetric care, linked to shortages of qualified health staff, a lack of medical facilities and health systems that have been shattered by years of civil war. MSF is the only emergency obstetric care provider in the Kabezi and Bo districts.
An international point of reference is the fifth Millennium Development Goal of reducing maternal mortality by 75 per cent by 2015, compared to the national ratio in 1990. MSF's estimates indicate that the maternal mortality ratio in Kabezi district is already below this level. In Bo district, MSF is confident that the mortality ratio will have dropped by 75 per cent by 2015.
In 2011, MSF provided life-saving emergency obstetric care to a total of 3,647 women in the Kabezi and Bo districts.
MSF has been providing access to emergency obstetric care services in Burundi since 2006 and in Sierra Leone since 2008.
Some 287,000 women worldwide die each year giving birth, leaving behind children who - as a result of their mothers' deaths - are ten times more likely to die prematurely.
