Those airline pilots have it all don't they? Exciting job, glamorous international jet-set lifestyle and all the free peanuts they can manage from the snacks trolley.
So, the question is, what do you buy for the favourite pilot in your life who seemingly already has it all?
Well, we've got just the thing.
Airlne professionals the world over have been straining at their fastened seatbelts to own an app version of our market-leading airline document manual management solution, DocuNet.
The web-based DocuNet service, used by commercial airlines the world over, is structured to reduce costs and deliver the highest possible standard of technology to flight ops teams.
Using DocuNet airlines can deliver accurate, up to date and fully compliant e-flight operations manuals throughout their organisations. Sophisticated yet intuitive, once deployed DocuNet users do not require any specialist training or software to take full advantage of its capabilities.
For some time this technology has been available as an application on the iPad platform and now, due to huge demand and following extensive development, Vistair is releasing a version compatible with Apple's iPhone.
But that's not all…
We've only gone and released versions for Android and Windows, meaning whatever your platform of choice DocuNet's powerful functionality is there with you every step of the way.
"We have been working on this for some time, however development has at various points been severely interrupted by things like the latest Apple iOS software upgrade, iOS 8," said Ian Herbert, Vistair's managing director.
"In common with the entire suite of our airline safety, management and compliance solutions we refuse to put anything out until it has undergone rigorous testing and works seamlessly with our clients' own in-house systems."
He added: "Demand for mobile technology shows no signs of slowing and this mobile app places more functionality than ever literally into our clients' hands."
Ian Herbert added that due to ongoing development costs a small charge was required to purchase the iPhone and Android versions, however the Windows version remains as a free download.

Firefighters Save a Life with Donated Oxygen Mask
We are very excited and pleased to know that our September donation of a pet oxygen mask kit to the Lima Fire Department, in cooperation with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association program, has resulted in a pet's life being saved. On January 3rd, "Cola", a Lab, was rescued from a house fire in Lima, but was unresponsive. After several minutes of oxygen therapy administered by the firefighters, Cola was revived. Thank you to ALL firefighters whose skills, bravery, and personal motivation have saved so many lives, both human and animal! We are thrilled to be a part of this important program, and will be donating two more kits to the Lima Fire Department this month. Thanks to Craig Orosz for this photo. To see more photos, visit:
Pet Food Donation Drive
Delphos Animal Hospital helped to make a difference during this holiday season by participating in a pet food donation drive sponsored by the Allen County Dog Warden's Office. We were one of many drop off locations for dog and cat food in the Lima area. The food will be available for families in need from Thanksgiving, until it's gone. Thanks especially to Vicki Kramer, Tim and Kim Lehman, Jeanie Alt, Angel and Jim Osmon, and Margaret Schulte for their donations! What compassion you have shown during this Christmas season!
Local Fire Departments Now Equipped to Give Pets Oxygen
As part of our 25th Anniversary Celebration, DAH partnered with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association to purchase pet oxygen mask kits for four local fire departments: Delphos, Lima, American Township, and Spencerville. The kits each contain three different sized masks to fit different sized dog or cat muzzles, and can be used with the departments' own oxygen tanks and lines. Informational DVDs, carry bags, and leashes are also included. Representatives from each department came to the event on Saturday, Sept. 22 to accept the kits.
Pictured from left to right: Dr. Bonnie, Dr. Sara, Platoon Chief Brian Helmig (American Twp. FD), Sgt. Nick Hart of the LPD accepting on behalf of the Lima FD, Chief Dave Evans of the Spencerville Invincible FD, Chris Wisher and Paul Carder of the Delphos FD, and Dr. John.
DAH Adoptathon a Great Success
Our 25th Anniversary Celebration and Adoptathon was a wonderful day for pets and people alike! The unofficial adoption count from the event is nine pets, with one more being fostered with the potential for adoption! We would like to thank all those who donated items for the pet food drive as well: Bob and Barb Bockey, the Fuge family, Cindy and Frank Becker, Angela and Jim Osmon, Michelle and Mitch Monfort, and everyone else who donated. The raffle was a success as well, and the proceeds were divided among the nonprofit organizations in attendance. Thank you to everyone for the anniversary wishes, and for helping us make a difference in our community!
DAH Helps to Give Back through Family Promise Campaign
Delphos Animal Hospital clients and staff collected items for several families in need during the month of July, during our "Helping Families Gain Independence" Campaign. The items were donated to Family Promise, and organization that provides families with a temporary residence, as well as supplies and financial assistance once they are able to live independently again. Items donated (twelve large boxes full!) ranged from diapers, wipes, and baby clothes, to cleaning supplies, toilet paper and dishes. Executive director of Family Promise, Peggy Adams, was amazed at the display of generosity from our community. Way to go! Here is Dr. Bonnie presenting the items to Peggy Adams.

William Butters - Methodist minister
I am interested in any information about William Butters who was born in 1810 in Lincolnshire, England. He married in Hobart, Tasmania in 1842 to Jane Middleton Waterhouse. They had 2 children born in Hobart, 3 in Launceston & 4 in Australia.
William Butters was Methodist minister, & went to Tasmania in 1834 where he ministered in Port Arthur. In 1850 he was moved to Australia.
By 1871 he was back in England.
In 1881 his daughter Jane was with him. The census stated she was married, her surname now Lyph. I assume she married in Tasmania or Australia, but I have not been able to find any information.

hey there,
that topic is bothering me for a quite long period. ive been to an art school from 16 to 22 (about 3 years ago). my drawings have become better, sure thats experience and practice (ive been slacking for about 2 years), but i seem to have lost my inspiration .
sammy mentioned in insects hoax-thread that inspiration is lost due to growing up... how did you creative artists out there gain it back?!?
im sometimes so frustrated about my lack of inspiration it nearly drives me mad... :/
id be glad if you could tell me some routines or workarounds to regain this most essential part of art-creation (imo).
thank you, i really appreciate every serious comment .

I hate female interviewers.the first interview I did was conducted by a female,she started beefing me the moment I walked into the room.i wasn't comfortable but I did well to comport myself.
When the question was going on,her eyes were all over me,assessing me from my hair down to my shoe and making some funny faces.i think it's very unprofessional,anyway I was not perturbed because I carried my self well and deposited humility at the same time answered the questions well.
She spent time on my case,thinking I would flop.getting up after the interview I almost missed a step.i just breathed a sigh of relief.
Last last sha i got the job and I had fun working for that company.
My first interview made me more bold to face future interviewers without panick.

I was asked to forward my CV to the HRM before the interview,in my mind I felt there was no need going with a hard copy.After the first stage ,we were asked to put out CVs in front of us.Chai I was the only one without a CV.The interviewers laughed like werey,they said the time I took in making up and dressing perfectly will make me forget what I was actually coming for.I got the job and I'm still there since 2014.

Stella I have had worst and sad interview sessions. You know those types that will make your confidence drop to zero and will even doubt yourself applying for other jobs.
Fresh was early this year, travelled almost 12 hours from Kogi to Lagos for an interview. It was scheduled to start by 6pm,but it didn't till around 9pm and it was on the island which means I'd have to return to the mainland that night. Well after every every we had the interview with drilling questions as if it was judgment day and in my mind a put up an impressive show only to get a mail from them
Saying "your interview session was interesting but unfortunately we will not be continuing with you as we would prefer an igbo speaking candidate"
I didn't know when I started crying when I remembered the stress, borrowing money to travel and all...
Well I'm still hoping and praying I land my dream job in telemarketing soon. I paid through my nose to get that training and certification. Oluwa pick my call
- 4 October 2016 at 13:42
I went for an interview after just returning back home from abroad, it was a nice company but to get to the area was one wahala. It was in a industrial zone surrounded by slums. So my aunt had to take me and she cautioned me not to dress flashy as they would rob me.
Even before we boarded the bus to go there, at the bus park,they tried to rob me, in the bus too, on my way to the interview (walking from the bus) they tried again. Ahn ahn, what kind of wahala be dis.
Anyway, I got to the interview,min was not there. I just kept thinking how I will.be going to work everyday in that dangerous situation. I sha blundered the interview purposely. When they asked me what I want, I said I need a company car with a driver as I cannot be putting myself in danger when coming to work everyday.
My mum vexed for me, since na she arrange the interview for me.

hahahaha just remembered what my friend told me that went for an interview at Apapa. They were about 15 of them and the company is being managed by some white guys in Apapa. So they brought tea that morning and asked if they would loved to drink, she was among those that drank the tea, about 2 or 3 persons did not drink, not knowing that these oyibo people were watching people taking the tea.
when it was time for the interview, they called them one by one.. the man said for taking tea that morning when you know it is business, you have failed. that was how those that took tea failed interview. She told her father, the father said longer throat, see how you missed the interview that i had to sought for. She was annoyed ooo because the company was a very big company and you can travel out.

In 2010, i was invited for an interview in a popular bank in Lagos, I really didn't want to go because i didn't want to work in a bank but my elder sis was aware of the interview date so i had to drag myself there.
Fast forward to the interview day , I dressed up with high heels and suit and took a cab to the bank , I stopped at the building before the bank and came down from the cab and two ladies ran up to me ,apparently the back zip of my skirt had ripped open and my butt checks were open for all in VI , they quickly took me to their office and sewed up the skirt , i was sweating and my hands were shaking ,they were just telling me sorry and trying to encourage me.
Well i didn't get the job after all the drama, i wasn't even composed during the interview.
God bless those kind ladies where ever they are today

My very first interview was in 2003, i went with my girlfriend who was also an applicant, there were few positions to be occupied, when we got there, we composed ourselves and when it was time, they called both of us and asked us to write our application in front of the boss.
We were very confident and after that, the boss complimented us, to our greatest surprise, he asked us if we were virgins! I told him yes (because i was a virgin even though i wear makeup and trousers), and my girlfriend (few years older than me and more beautiful than me) said no, that she wasn't a virgin; this man started preaching to my girlfriend even went as far as calling her a devil, we were so upset and i was forced to ask the man why it is so important for us to be virgins before we get the job, and why didn't he wrote on the notice board that the jobs were only available for virgins.
The man was just staring at me while i blink eyes to my girlfriend so we could leave. When we got outside my girlfriend was like; please if the man send you a letter of work resumption, don't turn it down. I gently told my girlfriend that i can never work with such a man.

My worst interview was with Schlumberger, I was told to prepare a presentation on Petroleum Engineering/ Petroleum Economics, And I kuku hated economics and wrongfully interpreted the slash as an "or" and I prepared the presentation on completions I think, can't rem again. I was so embarrassed to say the least when I was asked to present what I had on economics and I was like shuo. I knew I would not be called again, and that was the second stage
My second bad experience at interview was with SPDC, after passing the test stage, I was called for SRD, in 2012, SRD was still encompassing the whole stages in one day not like these days that it is moi moi (trust me, I know as I did both), omo, after that community kini part and I went in to ans question, see me that have confidence on a normal day, I was shaking like leaf in harmattan, long story cut short, I was not called and the thing pained me ehn. Though I slayed the presentation part and petroleum engineering answering stages...
- 4 October 2016 at 14:22
Mine has always been pleasant except for one with a female interviewer. After all the necessary introduction on myself, strength and weakness, she asked me why I wasn't married😳. Imagine o! And there were 2 guys in the room; they didn't look stunned at her question, guess she's been saying that to other applicants.
What's the correlation between getting a job and being married? I simply retorted, why are you not dead? She was simply bewildered. I just carried my bag and walked out. She thought she could make me feel bad but I ended up humiliating her in front of the other panelist.

My very first interview i attended was in a bank i was disqualify because of of the colour of shoes and bag i wore which is wine colour, didn't know then that there are official colours which is brown and black.

I have attended a lot of interviews and have also gotten and taken up jobs but one company I can never advise even my enemy to work is a hotel called De Skyline at local airport. Very demonic place to work. You will work with your blood and water, if you are late by 10 minutes they will deduct #500 from your salary,they will tell you 24 hrs but it's 30/35hrs you will work and you will be expected to resume by 7 o'clock the following day. Nobody ever spend 1/2 years because they hire and fire. Segun Awolowo the MD of DE SKYLINE HOTEL God is watching you, sleeping with small girls old enough to be your grand daughters. Glorified tout.

I will go anonymous on this because there's no active labour law that fights for employees in Nigeria so its advised I play anonymous.
There's this aviation company in Ikeja that invited me for an interview. The time for the interview was 12 noon but I got there early enough. My first shocker was that I met people there who came for interview just like me too but we were all asked to sit at the gate house. Note that this company is big, and has a massive reception but we were told to sit at the gatehouse. We all sat. The interview was for 12 noon but as at 3pm, no one came for us. We asked the guard again if he's sure the management knows this. He replied saying yes, we should just exercise patience. As at 6pm, no one still came for us. This was really devastating as my phone battery was almost dead and I was really hungry. We all were hungry anyway but no one could go out to get food just because we don't know when exactly we will be called.
As silly as the management is, no one came to tell us anything or say please be patient or something. At 7:50p.m, a lady then came and took us upstairs. We were drained but you know na, we were expected to look calm and smile al lthough. Then we started getting interviewed one after the other. At 15 past 8p.m, I was interviewed in less than 5 minutes. No apologies whatsoever, I was so sad. After 5 stages of interview including medicals, I got the job. Well, one would have said I was lucky but sadly I did not last 2 months there before I resigned. That organization is a deadly place to work in. You will be penalized if you come in 5 minutes past 8 in the morning and this is an organization where employees close 10/11pm – and there is no extra incentive for working overtime. You are required to dress corporate all the time – even on Fridays and public holidays. There is no job security there; you can be laid off anytime. We are not allowed to use our phones during work hours. Someone was sacked right in my presence because he was caught pressing his phone during office hours. There is no exam leave granted to staff that have ICAN or other professional exam. These people who have exam to write have to come in the morning to work then leave few hours to the exam. You can imagine. The mode of conduct in that company is terrible. I left to an organization that pays lower but I have peace of mind – the peace of mind I could never get while working with them.

I have interviewed many BVs. At least 50. Stella.... things wey my eyes see 😂😂 🙈
But there was one woman who lived in VGC and was working with dangote. She's a BV. Very classy woman. We couldn't match her paycheck. So we swallowed our pride. Dangote dey pay some peoole correct salary oh. Choi!
There was another who worked for a financial institution. They offered her the job but she turned it down at the last minute cos her office made her a mouth-watering offer when she turned in her resignation. Guess she was that good. She called me to apologize. Still have their contacts.
All these BVs that sit down her to trade words, if una see some of them in real life ehn 😂😂 Very timid and shaky. As if they think you want to beat them.

The last Interview I went for went well by God's grace, but I was surprised when I entered they didn't even let me sit down, they started throwing questions, that was when I discovered my stuttering skills as I saw like 12 Army Generals staring me in the face but halfway in I became more confident and I guess finished well.
God should pick my call and let my name be on the list when it comes out cos I am reallllly bored at this my current place of work and can't even deal with this yaraba demon of a boss anymore!

Funny comments so far. Well, I once went for a job interview where I was asked a certain question and I didn't know what to say after getting all other questions right ooo, but to avoid falling my hands, I decided not to keep mute and blabled one or two things to cover up, but the mistake I made was ending my statement with "and other stuffs like that" and the interviewer repeated after me saying" and other stuffs like that"? I said sorry sir and started laughing. Can you imagine? After laughing for few seconds, I then formed seriousness and they asked the next person to come in, while I was ushered out.
Funny enough, I got a text message from them few days later to resume work and I was like "like seriously? Me wey don conclude say I don fail because I laughed while on a hot seat. Well,I didn't resume work anyway cos the pay was little and the distance was far from my home, meaning that my transport fare and feeding would consume my salary just like that. It didn't worth it jare.

I went for a college of Pharmacy admission interview in US. There were 8 of them in the panel. I claimed that I am 7th Day Adventist (they own the school). Unexpectedly they started bombarding with questions about 7th Day Adventist. See sweat. At a point they asked me what I will do if I am not admitted. I was fed up already. So I told them that I will move on that it is not the end of the world. Their jaws dropped.

Ideato thank you, I classify all that area as CMS. There was this dramatic interview that I attended in 2009. It was for the post of a Marketer in an high tech co. The CEO gave me his mobile phone and asked me to market it to him. Omo, naso I collect the phone (a nokia Nseries), come tell the man say if him throw the phone for ground e no go spoil, that he will just pick up the pieces, couple everything and switch it back on, I also told him that the phone has a feature that detects location. Ikwakwakwakwa. The man was just laughing. Anyone that interviews me always ends up laughing. I'm so interesting to chat with.
The man employed me of course. The company later moved to another location which was too far for me.

When you get that question in an interview, it means your career plan/ progression in that amount of time stated...not your personal life.
Just like when they tell you ' tell us about yourself'
Your talk about your qualifications, strengths, career goals etc, not personal ish
Hope that helped

There was an interview that I attended two months ago in V.Island. It was for 10am, I went very early so that I will be the first person they will interview thinking that by 12pm tops they would have started. I went on an empty stomach and even had to trek part of the distance to save transport fare which I borrowed. Chei, I was the second person to arrive, the interview did not start till 3pm. I was already very hungry and thirsty with dry lips as I could not even afford sachet water of 10naira. The water dispenser at the reception where I sat, I could not touch it for fear of being disqualified for drinking water. When I went in at a few minutes past three and saw 7 people staring at me, I almost fainted, one of them asked if I was sick. I told him no, that I was fasting. Another one said 'all these religious people are so annoying, just look at you, how many questions can you answer in this state?. I was just lookin at them with tears streaming down my face, they just asked me to leave the room. I knew it was over by then, I drank water from their dispenser when I got to the reception, then I begged one of those waiting to be interviewed to help me with 50naira and he gave me 100naira which I used to buy banana on the road and ate before getting home. I still feel sad when I remember that incident. pray God picks my call soon.

Your comment was very descriptive. It made me laugh. But when I got to the end, I felt bad.
As someone who's in HR, my advice is when next you go for an interview, if you see all staff drinking water, my dearest DRINK. If you are asked, say it boldly and calmly that you left home on an empty stomach and you have been delayed and now you're terribly thirsty and hungry.
From your comment I see that you might have confidence issues. No matter what, don't shed tears in an interview. You know why? Sometimes you might be interviewing for a difficult position and an interviewer would be very hard on you to see if you can withstand the real life situation when it pops up. Just keep defending yourself. If they called you an annoying religious person, you should have responded by saying - it's that 'annoyingness' that has brought me far in life and i belive it will take me further. And YES I will do my best in my current state and I can say I'm ready for this interview'. End the statement with a smile.
Their reaction would have been different. Do you get my drift? If you want a job, fight for it. You didn't leave home on an empty stomach to go and cry for some yeye people. So don't do that again. Okay?
More grace next time dear.

Kim K In Tan/Chocolate Colored Outfit Combo
It seems that the Kardashian's are all the rage recently! With their constant contributions to the world of fashion, it's almost hard to make a post about recent trends without mentioning one of the Kardashian's themselves. Kim, the arguably most popular of the bunch, was recently photographed leaving Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood in an iconic outfit. Kim Kardashian's Wolford Fatal Dress has made headlining news ever since Kim wore the nude colored dress this past summer. The nude shade of the dress is what really made the dress such a statement making controversy.
Although it is no longer summer, Kim found a way to take a summer classic and turn into a more winter vibe feel. Since living in Los Angeles means having warm sunny weather, Kim Kardashian has found that adding summer pieces into her outfit choices comes with no real "winter backlash". In order to add some warmth into her very summer dress, Kim paired the tube top dress with a Givenchy Fall 2014 Chocolate Leather Cardigan. Kim finished the look off with a beautiful pair of $475 Alexander Wang Beige Antonia Sandals. This color combo of beige and chocolate really suits Kim and her complexion as it adds an incredible warmth and glow to her already killer complexion.
What do you guys think of Kim Kardashian's warm chocolate brown Givenchy cardigan and outfit repeated beige bodycon dress? Is it a killer combo or a complete fashion miss? You be the judge and decide!

The guiding philosophy in our Global Infrastructure strategy is intensive fundamental analysis, a natural outgrowth of our founding in 1932 as a fundamental research firm analyzing the utility sector. We believe this is instrumental in identifying securities in the utility, telecommunications, energy and transportation sectors that are mispriced, helping us in our quest to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. Our focus is on the owners and operators of infrastructure assets because they have provided attractive cash flows, growing dividends and inflation-linked revenues. The near monopolistic nature of many of our essential services holdings may offer a defensive buffer to the volatility experienced in other sectors of the market. Two senior team members have extensive work experience at regulated utilities, while the entire team has a deep understanding of the complex regulatory component of the market, which can help in their assessment of a company's intrinsic value. In addition, our collaborative approach seeks to draw input from all members of the infrastructure team, leading to a constant checking and re-checking of our investment thesis and assumptions. In the most recent period of sustained rising interest rates, global infrastructure outperformed the broad equity market. We believe global infrastructure can be an integral part of a well-diversified portfolio.
The Federal Reserve Bank began raising the federal funds rate in June 2004 from 1% and continued raising the rate through June 2006 to 5.25%. The federal funds rate remained at 5.25% through August 2007.
As measured by the MSCI World Infrastructure Sector Capped Index versus the S&P 500 Index. Returns were calculated in U.S. dollars and include the reinvestment of income. In addition to the utility, telecommunications, energy and transportation sectors, the MSCI World Infrastructure Sector Capped index includes the social services sector (5.3% of the index as of December 31, 2015).

London, Apr 29(ANI): Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he will not be tempted to buy players who make an impact during the World Cup in South Africa.
"The World Cup will not affect our recruitment. It is dangerous to buy on the back of a World Cup. The prices are artificial and you have to bear in mind that anyone can have three weeks of glory," The Sun quoted Wenger, as saying.
Wenger, who has been reluctant on spending money and signing new stars, further said that he will add new players early in the summer.
"To have 10 years of success is quite different. With the season drawing to a close, people are inevitably looking to discuss our transfer targets," Wenger said.
"I do have targets and have been talking to people, but I cannot mention any names at the moment. The earlier you settle your teams for the next season the better it is and the less anxiety you have," he added.
Wenger's transfer policy, based on nuturing young talent and not spending big on established players has been criticized, as Arsenal are on the verge of finishing the season without a trophy for the fifth year in a row. (ANI)

Because the camera in my smart phone makes low quality images, I made nearly all of my photos with my compact digital camera set to Program mode. I allowed myself to adjust ISO (Auto or Hi), White Balance and Exposure Compensation because those controls were available on my phone, but that was it. I did allow myself to crop and adjust exposure and color as needed before sharing them (because I'm compulsive that way).
So for the next month, you'll see the pictures I made in between regular life and traveling to the Oregon coast. I highly recommend such a project! It has developed my "reflex" of seeing pictures all the time.

From A
Biographical History of Central Kansas, Vol. II, p. 972
published by The Lewis Publishing Co, Chicago & New York, 1902
Among the figures who stand prominently forth on the pages of western history is the gentleman whose name introduces this review. He is one of those honored pioneers who bravely turned their faces from the east, with all the advantages of wealth and civilization, and cast their fortunes with the western frontier, in all its wildness and primitive modes of life, who, rather than enjoy the comforts of their former homes, chose to endure the hardships of a wider and freer country, and who made out of those very obstacles the stepping stones to wealth and influence.
Mr O'Brian was born in Jackson county, Ohio, October 1, 1837, and is a son of Thomas B and Mary (Frazee) O'Brian, natives respectively of New York and Ohio, and in the latter state they were married. The paternal grandfather, Jonathan O'Brian, was born in the Empire state and his ancestors came to America during Colonial days, members of the family serving as valiant soldiers in the war for American independence. Jonathan O'Brian was a prominent farmer of New York, and there his death occurred. His children were William, Chauncey, Thomas B, and John. The latter raised a company in Ohio and joined Sam Houston in Texas, taking part in the battle of San Jacinto, where Santa Ana and his Mexican army was captured and killed. In 1836 he also assisted in establishing the republic of Texas. He subsequently located in the Lone Star state, remaining there during the remainder of his life. Thomas B O'Brian, the father of our subject, located in Jackson county, Ohio, at a very early day and was there married. He entered land from the government and improved a good farm, remaining there for many years. In 1846 he sold his property there and removed to Marion county, Missouri, where he spent three years, and on the expiration of that period he returned to Ohio, taking up his abode in Vinton county. Her later took up his permanent abode in Jackson county, West Virginia, where he improved a good farm, and there his death occurred in 1876, at the ripe old age of seventy-one years. In 1862 he enlisted as a private in the Federal army, in which he served until the close of the war, valiantly performing his part in maintaining this grand republic. He followed farming as a life occupation, and in early life he upheld the principles of the Whig party and after its dissolution he became a loyal Republican. Although he filled a number of township offices, he was never an aspirant for political preferment, preferring to give his undivided attention to his business interests. He was a licensed exhorter of the Methodist Episcopal church, and did all in his power for the uplifting of his fellow men and the cause of Christianity. The marriage of Mr and Mrs O'Brian was blessed with four children, namely: Andrew J; John A; Thomas A; and Alford M. The mother of this family was called to her final rest in 1855, and the father was again married, his second union being with Mrs M Cowan, by whom he had three children, Walter, George and Sarah.
Andrew J O'Brian, the subject of this review, remained under the parental roof until twenty years of age, when, in 1857, he cast his lost with the pioneers of the Sunflower state. He first located in the city of Leavenworth, where he was engaged in the wood and coal business, remaining there until June 1861. In that year he joined the boys in blue and assisted in the preservation of the Union. He became a member of the quartermaster's department and was ordered to Washington, DC, later was employed in the transportation department and was made wagon master, having twenty-five teams under his supervision. He also drove a team in freighting government stores, ammunition, etc., was at all the camps on the Potomac river and during the last year of the war had charge of the shipping wharf at City Point, Virginia. Mr O'Brian remained in the government service until 1868, when he returned to Kansas and was employed in the construction of bridges for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. In 1869 he secured a squatter's claim in Montgomery county, Kansas, on which he made some improvements, but later sold that place and came to Rice county, where he joined a party and engaged in hunting buffaloes. The animals were captured for their hides, for which there was a great demand, and as they brought good prices this proved a very profitable source of employment. In 1872 he became the possessor of the land on which he now resides, first erecting a sod house, which he afterward replaced with a good and commodious farm residence, also erected other buildings, planted an orchard, and in many ways beautified and improved the place. His fields were placed under a high state of cultivation, and everything about the farm indicates the supervision of a progressive owner. In 1887 he sold the place, but still resides there as a tenant. The struggle for existence has been a stern and hard one, but he possesses indomitable energy and marked physical courage and has successfully fought his way to success.
In Montgomery county, Kansas, in 1873, Mr O'Brian was united in marriage with Miss Jemima Enders, who has proved to him a faithful companion on the journey of life. She was born in the state of New York, May 9, 1848, a daughter of Jeremiah and Catherine (Becker) Enders, both natives of the Empire state, where they were married. Jacob Becker, the grandfather, was of German descent and was a prominent farmer of his native state. Unto him and his wife were born seven children: William, David, Yost, Daniel, Elizabeth, now Mrs Steiner, Hannah, who became Mrs Shell, and Catherine, the mother of Mrs O'Brian. Jeremiah Becker departed this life in New York in 1863, and his widow afterward kept her family together and at an early day came with them to Kansas, locating in Montgomery county. In 1876, accompanied by a daughter and her husband, she removed to Kentucky, where her death occurred in 1887. Their children were: Harriet, who died at the age of sixteen years; Mary, the wife of Ira L Zeh; John, who died in Pennsylvania; and Jemima, the wife of our subject. The marriage of Mr and Mrs O'Brian has been blessed with four children, namely: Mary, born September 17, 1875; Thomas, born November 12, 1876; Abby, born March 8, 1878; and John, born December 3, 1881. The children are all at home and are enjoying excellent educational privileges. Mr O'Brian was formerly a strong Republican, but since 1876 he has been identified with the Reformed party, believing most firmly in the principles set forth by its platform. He is recognized as one of the most public-spirited men of Rice county, and is progressive and generously helpful to every measure which in his judgment tends to the general good.

NOT Just For Body Builders
From a first look at a GNC window, you might assume protein powders are only for weight lifters and body builders. But the average Joe and his underweight or ailing cousin can get just as much out of the substance.
Protein powders can be used as meal replacements, especially if they also include vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and probiotics. The more complete, the better.
Folks who want to gain weight have also been known to indulge. This can be a fun process because unless you have restrictions, you can mix high-calorie formulas into higher-calorie juices or full-fat milk. You can even blend the powder into meals and desserts if you so choose.
In case you didn't know, your muscles require good nourishment just after exercise. Working out breaks down muscle and they require fuel and nutrients to add in the rebuilding process. Downing a protein shake directly afterward helps you recover quicker and get the most results from your workout.
Similarly, if you're injured, indulging in this kind of nourishment will be a plus, as it can help reduce soreness. Mixed into coconut milk or a smoothie, the powder also makes for a nifty bedtime snack, to help your whole body recover as you sleep.
Vegans and vegetarians often struggle to take in enough protein to maintain a healthy level of muscle mass. Luckily, there are now many protein powders made from vegetable protein as well.
For certain medical procedures that interfere with digestion -- like gastric bypass -- doctors sometimes prescribe protein powder. Just to be sure patients get enough essential nutrients.
Get The Lowdown On Protein Primers
Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Doesn't it then follow that we have to be careful of what kind of protein we put in our bodies? Is it a one-size-fits-all proposition? Or does the source of the stuff matter? Here's the lowdown on proteins and how easy they are for the body to use:
Whey protein is the hands-down fav for protein powder makers, as whey is a complete protein.
If you scan the labels of the most popular powders, you'll see the terms whey concentrate and whey protein isolate. Both are really easy for the body to absorb. Pretty funny for a by-product of the cheese making process. (Little Bo Peep was "eating her curds and whey" probably because her folks were home cheese makers.) Anyway, these days, after the separation, the whey is filtered and reduced to powdered solids. Et voila! A great muscle recovery tool.
Soy used to be all the rage in protein powders. But lots of folks have an allergic reaction to it. It can also be hard on the body in other ways. Still, soy is quality protein and is the major component of both tofu and tempeh.
Brown rice protein is among the easiest to digest. It's processed at low temps to keep enzymes alive. And also contains two key amino acids.
Pea protein is another type that's easy to absorb and digest. If you put it together with rice protein, you get a product with a complete amino acid profile. Which puts it on a level with whey and adds up to powerful nutrition for muscles.
Egg protein (also known as albumin) also offers a complete profile. But some folks are also allergic to eggs.
Hemp protein is growing in reputation and popularity. It's quality stuff. But is better at boosting immunity than building muscle.
Whip It, Blend It, Stir It
One of the best things about protein powder is that it presents so many...well, not exactly culinary possibilities, but...let's just call them chances to be creative! Least among them is the sheer variety of liquids to mix powder into:
Dairy Milk - It's almost like overkill for most of our top 10 choices (since whey is derived from dairy). But milk has an amazing mouthfeel that just can't be beat. Plus, it has its own natural sugars and fat, that might help mask any artificial flavors in our selected powders. If you're not afraid of fat or cholesterol, you could even consider adding heavy or whipped cream to your drink for satiety.
Coconut Milk - A close second in mouthfeel -- yummy-creaminess -- to dairy milk, coconut milk also boasts MCTs, that is, fats that heal at the cellular level. 'Nuff said.
Nut & Seed Milks - are on the spectrum with dairy, but might not be quite as creamy. Still, most contain some form of sugar that should blend well with flavored or unflavored powders. Try almond, hazelnut, cashew, hemp seed or flax seed. You can also find blended milks, of almond, cashew and hazelnut, or coconut and almond, for example.
Grain Milks - Yep, there's rice milk, but there's also oat milk and quinoa milk. These typically offer a somewhat more watery texture, but a decent flavor with or without chocolate or vanilla added.
Soy Milk -- If you're not allergic, it's a way to add even more protein to your drink. Soy milks are typically lower in fat that many nut milks, but have a full-bodied texture just the same.
Most non-dairy milks include added vitamins -- A & D, for example -- and minerals, like calcium and magnesium. Sugar-free and flavored varieties are usually available.
Juices - You can use commonly bottled juices like apple or grape. But why not go all the way live and add protein powder to a fresh-squeezed, refrigerated fruit or veggie juice.
Smoothies - Skip the juices, and just blend together fruits -- berries, peaches, plums, bananas -- with some kind of. milk and some ice. It's chilled, it's refreshing and it will help repair your muscles.

Waiver Wire—
Week 7
David Washington, QB/WR-ODU
Washington replaced Shuler Bentley at and the Monarchs looked like the teams of years past, taking to the air to pull out a 37-34 win over Charlotte. In leagues in which Washington will remain designated as a WR, his acquisition could be a huge difference-maker. In leagues in which his designation will be at quarterback, should he be named the starter for Week 8, Washington is still worth the acquisition if ODU reverts to their pass-happy style of play.
Marcus Marshall, RB-Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech needs a boost in the offensive backfield and the freshman could provide a much needed lift. Marshall has at least ten carries in his previous two games and is coming off a ten-carry, 159-yard, 2-TD performance against Pitt. Expect Marshall to get more touches moving forward even though the Jackets have a tough Week 8 matchup against Florida State.
Hylek Foster, RB-Warshall
We're not sure what is going on at running back for the Herd, but we do know that Devon Johnson is not healthy and Foster is the latest of Marshall backs to prove his worth after rushing for 122 yards and a TD against Florida Atlantic. At the very least, Johnson's owners should grab Foster as insurance since Tony Pittman is still questionable with an injury of his own.
Akrum Wadley, RB-Iowa
While we are talking 'insurance backs', Jordan Canzeri's owners may want to pluck Wadley off of waivers after his 26-204-4 performance against Northwestern even though the Hawkeyes are headed into a bye week and Canzeri has an extra week to recover.
Jared Baker, RB-Arizona
We'll assume that Baker has already been acquired by Nick Wilson's owners or other savvy fantasy owners, but a Week 8 matchup against Washington State makes Baker worthy of an acquisition if he is available and Nick Wilson's Foot injury continues to be a problem.
Zach Pascal, WR-Old Dominion
We saw what happened when the Monarchs benched freshman quarterback Shuler Bentley for David Washington, and if that move is permanent, Pascal should be a fantasy factor throughout the second half of the season after eleven passes for 231 yards and 3 TDs in Saturday's comeback win over Charlotte.
Marcus Green, WR-LA-Monroe
After catching six passes for 68 yards and a TD against Appalachian State on Saturday, Marcus Green may be the next-best receiver on the LA-Monroe roster while starters Rashon Ceaser and Ajalen Holley are sidelined with injuries.
Jamire Jordan, WR-Fresno State
Fantasy owners in deep FBS-PPR formats should consider adding Fresno State's Jamire Jordan, as the freshman receiver has scored in four of seven games and has at least five receptions in three of his last four games.

Kumud Ranjan
Defeated Love! ! ! - Poem by Kumud Ranjan
Shelly kept waiting for him
Dazzling in white fairy dress
He didn't come but
She felt cheated, ignored
Aghast with certain despair
How she came out of her house
Despite many restrictions
Risking herself for this guy
Not it was first time he didn't come
mistook her as granted forever
Three days have now passed
He didn't come nor his messages
Shelly tried his number, not reachable
Response she'd expected, her heart hadn't
Abject she fell on road in dismay, in grief
She felt vehicles trampled all her dreams
Driven all of them by the man she loved ever
"Loved? " Tears, loathed then by her delusive love
Rolled down on her face, watery gloomy eyes
She'd mostly cared of them, prettiest of all.
She kept crying over an hour
Alone she is, heart hollow she felt.
Perturbed, her belief was shattered
So was she trying to fight fiercely
The sweet memories, now a turned morgue
The paradise lost she won't get again it back.
She tried to rise. Yes! She did, but fell on her knees.
Powerless was she, hopeless than ever could be
Drifted by her tears and sorrow she vanished
Still she cries unnoticed, unattended, unseen.

Unless you've been very diligent about keeping yourself out of the social revolution, chances are you have some sort of digital identity out there. The social networking sites and communities you've joined; the comments you've made on websites under your own name; the pictures of you tagged on friends' websites and profiles.
In today's world, where potential employers are Googling every applicant—and in many cases doing full online background checks—these online presences are more than just reflections of ourselves, they're our personal brands. How you manage yours can go a long way toward your success in the job hunt. It's not too difficult to make sure your personal online brand leaves a positive reflection on anyone who comes across it.
Privacy is your friend. If you participate in social media, there's really no such thing as true privacy. The whole point behind social networking is to get out there and share and communicate with others. However, you don't want to share everything.
- Take the time to go through your pictures, and remove any that you wouldn't want your mother—or a VP of human resources—to see. Remove tags from pictures showing you in any compromising situations. Your buddies might love that picture of you chugging a pitcher of beer at the local pub, but it doesn't do a whole lot for your professional image. Better still, set the privacy level of your pictures so that only your friends can see them—at least while you're applying for jobs.
- Police your wall comments a little more than you usually might. Off-color jokes, rude or inappropriate comments, or raunchy videos can put potential employers off—even if they weren't posted by you.
- Make sure the information you post about yourself (interests, favorite quotes, etc.) is a good reflection of the professional image you want to project. Homemade bong creation may have been a fine hobby while you were in school, but it's doubtful that it'll win you any brownie points with employers. Your LinkedIn profile, obviously, should reflect your professional goals, but even your Facebook profile should show you as a career-minded professional: again, at least as long as you're job-hunting.
- Watch yourself on Twitter. Remember that once it's out there, there's no bringing it back. Before you hit "Tweet," re-read what you've written and make sure it's something you'd be OK with an employer reading.
The best way to manage your online presence is to host it yourself. That means creating your own website, independent of your Facebook profile, your LinkedIn profile, your Flickr page, your Tumblr page, and everything else. Hosting and creating your own website is relatively simple—even for beginners—and it gives you total control over what's displayed. And it gives you another perk as well: an email address that ends in @yourname.com, which looks a lot better than one from one of the free services. Of course, even if you have your own website you'll still have to be aware of your social media profiles, but it's a great way to go the extra mile, give employers a hub to find everything about you, and show that you're competent with basic web publishing.
Like it or not, our online presences are becoming more and more important in real life. You can resist it all you like, you can pretend your social networking profiles don't affect your job search or that employers aren't looking you up online, but the faster you realize that your virtual self can be as important as your real self, the better your job prospects will be. – Original post by myFootpath's Nate Abbott

Fulani Herdsmen National Clashes: FG's Way Forward
- NGTommorrow News
- Published in Politics
- 0 comments
Saturday, March 12, 2016
The killings across the nation, especially in the middle belt, involving Fulani herdsmen and villagers, have been ongoing for years. It has become a barbaric act to which no serious preventive or punitive actions have been taken by the government.
The crux of the clashes has always been around herds of cattle. Fulani nomadic herdsmen have the custom of traveling to different parts of the country to graze their animals, and establishing settlements in communities in the course of their journey - to rest. Most, if not all, of such communities are agrarian communities whose major economic activity is farming.
There have been many reports of the animals grazing on villagers' farmlands and destroying their plants – their livelihood. One or two incident(s) of farm destruction could render a farmer broke for the rest of the year as most farmers have between 3 - 6 months of waiting time before harvest. Conversely, some villagers have been involved in the practice of stealing the Fulani herdsmen's cattle. This also could send the herdsmen out of business if not decisively dealt with.
Reports have, however, posited that the herdsmen often initiate the attacks – economic (farms destruction) and physical. Perhaps the reports have been untrue, but what if nobody takes animals to others' communities, would we not be able avert such loss of lives – in this circumstance?
Nomadic farming has done this nation far more evil than good. It is commonsense that grasses can be grown – just like any other kind of raw material. It is not wise to continue a tradition just because "this is how we have always done it" or "this is all we know how to do." Nomadic farming is learned and can sure be unlearned. Should we have left infant twins to be brutally murdered just because it was a culture? Cultures are meant to metamorphose. It is absolutely unwise to elevate culture above people's lives and the togetherness of a nation.
This practice continue to exist because of our cowardice. No nation progresses if all it does is shy away from addressing anomalies that are fundamental to its continuous existence.
Thursday, March 12, 2026
Though clashes between Fulani herdsmen and villagers have been very minimal in recent times, the government and tribal and religious leaders have decided to find a lasting solution to nomadic farming crisis in Nigeria.
Studies have revealed that the establishment of ranches nationwide is only political and would not give a lasting solution to the perennial anomaly. This led to the proposal of the Nomadic Farming Abolishment Bill initiated by Senator Aliyu Sani in 2025. One year after, the bill was approved by the two chambers, and, in a widely celebrated ceremony this afternoon, the president signed it into a law. Henceforth, nomadic farming, which have actually become unattractive in recent times, becomes illegal.
This did not happen without pressure from many Nigerians - some of whom are northerners. This is yet another proof that poor education and overconcentration of power at the centre were the reasons Nigerians put up with many unthinkable anomalies in time past.

To make a phone call to Armenia from United Arab Emirates, you will have to dial the following format:
When calling to Armenia, you are recommended to drop the 1st number of the telephone number. This is due to the fact, telephone numbering plans in Armenia use a so called Telephone Trunk Code (Trung Prefix). This is generally the digit '0' (zero) that is placed in front of telephone numbers for phone calls originating inside the country. On the other hand, this specific digit needs to be left out each time you are dialing an overseas destination.
There are occasions when an overseas phone call will not go through. A number of of the causes are detailed listed below:
Phone area codes in Armenia are generally often called Numbering Plan Areas (NPAs). It had been previously referred to as STD codes in Armenia.
These kinds of phone area codes are crucial only when dialling from outside the phone code number area. However it's fundamental when making a telephone calls from the mobile phones.
Phone area codes or city codes in Armenia commonly demonstrate regional areas within Armenia that are covered by 100s of phone exchanges.
The telephone area code in Armenia is commonly preceded in the dial string by the Armenia country code or the international access code for Armenia.
Telephone Area codes in Armenia tend to be quoted along with the country access code number for Armenia.
When making an international call from Armenia, first dial the IDD code which is "00″, then the country access code.

Microscopic switching arrays for mobile communication
Fraunhofer ISIT has developed a MEMS switch with a diameter of only 160 µm. It is one of the key components for energy efficiency in mobile radio systems. In a miniaturized network of highly precise capacitive and inductive components this is a future innovative component for perfect impedance matching of the antenna amplifier at constantly changing operating conditions. To achieve contact resistances of less than 1 W within a fast control loop, a bi-directional piezoelectric actuator produces high contact forces. Turned off the active reset function separates the connection reliably.

|Hillary and press corps on board her plane en route to Tampa, FL, Sept. 6, 2016 (Getty)
Guest post by rugbymom
The campaign blitz that began on Labor Day continued yesterday, with appearances by Hillary herself and by Tim Kaine, Bill Clinton, and Anne Holton. (I'm beginning to see some acknowledgement that Hillary has at least a dozen strong active surrogates campaigning for and with her, while Donald Trump has Mike Pence (sort of) and...Rudy Giuliani, perhaps.)
Hillary flew (in that snazzy new press-friendly plane) to Tampa for an afternoon rally before about 1,500 students and supporters at the University of South Florida.

TAMPA — With the campaign entering its final two months, Hillary Clinton returned to the Tampa Bay area Tuesday to draw a point-by-point contrast between herself and Republican nominee Donald Trump, especially as a potential commander-in-chief. . . .Although the speech was touted by her campaign as focusing on national security, the first and last parts were largely about domestic issues like jobs, education and tax policy."We're going to make this economy grow, but we're also going to make it fair," Clinton said. She called for raising the minimum wage, giving students relief from college debt, expanding solar energy, growing vocational education and apprenticeship programs and creating a "rapid response fund" for public health emergencies so states like Florida wouldn't have to depend on Congress when facing a threat like the Zika virus. . . .Clinton characterized [Trump] as flighty and inexperienced with no real plan to fight ISIS."He is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president," she said. By contrast, she said, she would bring diligence, a steady hand and focus to the job. "I'm a very patient person. I don't quit. I don't give up. I don't blink."
It's possible that the new reporters-on-the-plane policy is having some effect on coverage of Clinton. Bloomberg News published and tweeted out a small clip (with video) from the in-the-aisles "press conference" in which Hillary addressed Trump's missing tax returns:
Speaking to reporters on her campaign plane en route to a rally in Tampa, Florida, Hillary Clinton blasted her rival Donald Trump for his unreleased taxes. "He clearly has something to hide," the Democratic nominee said.
Tim Kaine was in North Carolina, which is quickly turning into another critical swing state in both the Presidential race and the quest to capture control of the Senate. He gave what was billed as a "major national security speech" at the Hannah Block Historic USO/Community Arts Center in Wilmington, NC. The Wilmington area is not far from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, where Kaine's son has been based, and Fort Bragg.
Kaine blasted Republican nominee Donald Trump as temperamentally unfit to serve as Commander in Chief and for promoting policies that reverse decades of US foreign policy towards NATO and other key allies:
"[Trump] has a bizarre fascination with strongmen and authoritarian leaders in countries that are no allies of the United States, and with respect to our allies, he would toss alliances aside, and says he wants to 'take everything back from the world that we've given to them,'" Kaine charged. "Trump has offered empty promises and divisive rhetoric. Under his leadership, we would be unrecognizable to the rest of the world. And we would be far less safe."* * * *"I trust Hillary Clinton to make these decisions with full knowledge that the life of my son and his friends may be riding on the outcome," Kaine said. "And the prospect of the emotionally volatile, fact-challenged, self-obsessed and inexperienced Donald Trump as commander-in-chief scares me to death."Kaine touted his experience with the Virginia National Guard when he was governor and on the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, and said that when it comes to military issues like these, "I take it personally" because his son is serving overseas.

Tim also pushed back on Trump's much-mocked statement that Clinton doesn't "look Presidential." Melissa McEwan tweeted:

Hillary's press secretary also pushed back, with a light touch. Remember this great moment from the Convention?

Bill Clinton was also in North Carolina yesterday, speaking before about 700 people at a community center in Durham. Read igualdad's wonderful first-hand account of both the official event — and a chance encounter with the former POTUS in the produce section. According to much less enthusiastic US News and World Report,
Former President Bill Clinton argued his wife, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, is the candidate of unity, in political campaigns and in economic gains, during a speech here Tuesday."What we need is faster, more fairly shared growth," Clinton said. "The reason you ought to be for Hillary is because of how it will affect you, not who's winning the evening news battle." . . .* * * * *Clinton focused most of his message on economics, arguing that Donald Trump's message was divisive and tying his slogan to a recent court battle over North Carolina's controversial voting rights law.The few references Clinton made to social and racial issues were veiled, and often highlighted the Republican nominee's divisiveness.
SLOTUS-to-be Anne Holton was also on the campaign trail, this time in Dallas, TX. (Tim Kaine told campaign workers in Austin last week that the campaign hadn't given up on Texas, so it's good to see another event there so soon.) The Texas Tribunereported:
Politics, however, hardly came up at Holton's two public events, a roundtable on education with educators and students, then a discussion about child welfare with state lawmakers. Holton was mostly deferential during the talks, soliciting Texas-specific input from participants as she imparted lessons from her Virginia service.At the first event, most concerns focused on school funding in Texas, a perennial issue dating back to the Legislature's decision in 2011 to cut $5 billion from public education. Holton shook her head in disbelief as she was told of the cuts and asked how Texans have felt the impact. . . .Holton seemed most interested in students' individual stories of how they were making it through college, promising they would be helped by Clinton's proposals to ease the cost of higher education. One, a full-time student at a Dallas community college, said she is paying for her education out of her savings account while working "part time" at a bank — 39 hours a week.At the second event, which focused on child welfare, Holton relied on her experience as a juvenile and domestic relations district court judge in Richmond.

Anne also spoke at a pair of fundraisers in the Dallas area. Chelsea Clinton headlined a fundraiser last night in New York City.
This level of activity will continue through the week. Today Bill Clinton goes on to a rally in Orlando and a fundraiser in Miami, while Chelsea Clinton will do several events in Pennsylvania. Hillary will appear tonight at the "Commander in Chief Forum," a town hall format in which she and Trump will respond to questions in back-to-back appearances. (It will air live on MSNBC and most NBC stations at 8 p.m. ET, repeated on NBC at 8 p.m. PT / 9 P.M. MT.) Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Obama also have campaign appearances coming up. HillarySpeeches.com has a handy chart of upcoming major campaign events, with links to the detailed information and RSVP form.
I'm in Philadelphia for a few days (and won't be able to hang out very long in the comments this morning). On the trip here, I discovered the Amtrak magazine Arrivehas a great profile of Kate McKinnon, who plays Hillary on SNL, including the sketch starring the real Hillary as bartender "Val." Here's what McKinnon said about rehearsing that skit:
McKinnon was, understandably, nervous about meeting the target of her highest-profile impression."[Clinton] arrived around 4 o' clock that Saturday and we had to do a little music rehearsal. … That was a very strange way to meet a leader of the free world who I've admired for decades," McKinnon says, "to have to teach them a song. But she was completely warm and gracious and actually very funny. We ran through the sketch the first time and she hit all the right comedic notes and we [the cast] just looked at each other and were like, 'Oh, my god. She's the best.'"
I wonder if we have some unheralded Hillary supporters among the Amtrak publications staff. In any event, it was an all-too-rare description showing Hillary at her best and most sympathetic.
