Now more than ever, in part due to the contemporary "makers" movement, we seem to have a keen awareness of functional design—how space transforms your appreciation of detail, nature, and life, essentially.
William "Willie" Riddle Ward, Jr. (1890–1984), one of the most notable Southern architects in history, built a career on these ideas. And he was prolific—having designed more than 133 residential and commercial structures in the state of South Carolina alone. Born in Eutaw, Alabama, Ward was a graduate of Auburn University. Like many young architects of his time, he went for graduate studies in New York City, where he was employed by the architectural firm Hill and Stout while attending Columbia University. World War I interrupted his studies, but luckily for Ward, he was stationed in Paris throughout his military service. During that time, he attended classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the renowned art and design school that claims legendary artists like Monet and Renoir among its alumni. Cubism and other modern movements were in full swing by this time, and Ward got the opportunity to experience these innovations juxtaposed with the Neoclassical architecture for which Paris has become so famous.
ENGLISH CLASS // In 1916, Ward designed this Greenville home at 205 East Park Drive for William Ellsworth Phelps, owner of the Piedmont Shoe Company. It is one of the architect's first residential designs in the Tudor Revival style.
Upon his discharge from the military, he remembered what his friend and Greenville architect Haskell Martin told him: the Southern town posed excellent opportunities for young and talented architects. Ward moved to Greenville and established a partnership with Martin, which lasted until 1925, when Ward opened up his own practice. He continued to work in Greenville until 1957, when he moved back to his hometown in Eutaw, Alabama, upon his retirement.
Ward maintained a versatile spirit of eclecticism throughout his career, and while he tended to switch effortlessly back and forth between architectural styles, two common threads can be found in all of his residential designs: his respect for the land upon which a home is built, and his insistence upon architecture's compatibility with the natural landscape. Perhaps it's the legendary Southern connection to the land that drove his design philosophy in this direction. Perhaps Ward's designs exemplify a larger trend toward park-like residential landscapes during the rst few decades of the twentieth century. Regardless of its root, this design practice would have lasting in uence upon Southern residential architecture into the twenty-first century.
Although Ward designed many notable commercial structures, including the Greenville Elks Lodge on the corner of East North and North Brown streets, many of them have since been demolished, such as the Tyler and City hospitals in Greenville. Most of his residential designs, for which he is most famous, are still standing and have been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Throughout his 41-year tenure in Greenville, Ward was known for his partiality toward the Tudor, Classical, and Colonial Revival styles popular during the first half of the twentieth century. He insisted on using high-quality materials with meticulous attention to detail, and although his designs follow many tenets of their respective stylistic categories, Ward's signature is present in his individually designed moldings and millwork.
One home that represents Ward's take on the Tudor Revival style is in the East Park Historic District at 205 East Park Drive. Situated within the broader Gothic Revival style, typical Tudor Revival homes display a distinctively European feel with a general set of architectural characteristics, including arched doorways and windows, exposed wooden beams, gabled roofs, slight asymmetry, decorative patterning, brick buttresses, and soaring, angled ceilings. Tudor Revival homes seem to recall smaller, residential versions of French and English Gothic cathedrals (think Notre Dame in Paris), much like 205 East Park, one of Ward's first commissions while working alongside Haskell Martin.
Designed in 1916 for William Ellsworth Phelps, owner of Piedmont Shoe Company in downtown Greenville, 205 East Park is significant as an excellent example of early twentieth-century Tudor Revival vernacular architecture, possessing many of the characteristics mentioned above. Perhaps most evident from the exterior are the L-shaped, gabled footprint, the arched entryway, the latticed windows, and the brick buttresses. Ward's design also possesses an extensive amount of brick cladding on the façade, which is another hallmark of the Tudor Revival style. On the interior, the most notable Tudor characteristics are the exposed beams and rafter tails and the large, latticed windows that allow for plenty of light to stream through the rooms. One of the highlights of this home is the roof terrace, which has a brick parapet and flared buttresses. This terrace serves as Ward's homage to the landscape and topography of the lot, a common theme throughout the East Park Historic District.
MIND YOUR MANORS // In 1937, Ward designed this Greer home at 211 North Main Street for prominent businessman Richard Perry Turner. The home's antebellum character evokes the Classical Revival style, similar to Southern plantation houses.
Ward's design at 205 East Park, although noteworthy, is an example of one of his early designs before he started his own architectural practice in 1925. After this date, he is most known for his Classical Revival designs of the late 1920s and 1930s for prominent Upstate families. Although many of Ward's residential designs were centered in Greenville, he was also commissioned to build homes in the surrounding area. In 1937, Richard Perry Turner, known in Greer for his pro table wholesale and retail grocery business, hired Ward to design his home at 211 North Main Street in Greer after seeing his younger brother's residence a short distance away at 305 North Main Street.
The R. Perry Turner house is an excellent example of Classical Revival residential architecture, a style popular throughout the South since well before the Civil War. The façade of Ward's design harkens back to Southern antebellum plantation houses, and the inevitable remnant of Gone with the Wind's Tara sifts through our memories. Perhaps the most obvious Classical Revival characteristic at the R. Perry Turner House is the central tetra-style (four- columned) portico with elements of the highly decorative Greek Corinthian order. The Greco-Roman style columns paired with the triangular pediment above recall iconic examples of ancient Classical architecture, such as the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, or the Pantheon in Rome. Additional characteristics of the Classical Revival style present in Ward's design are a symmetrical plan with nearly identical side porches on either side of the home and Palladian windows. The home's interior boasts a prominent foyer with a curved wall to accommodate a curved, cantilevered staircase with detailed scrollwork, cased archways, ornate mantle pieces, and chair rails with paneled wainscoting—all elements of the Classical Revival style.
As with his design at 205 East Park, Ward took great pains to showcase the beautiful topography of the surrounding landscape. The large, partially tree-canopied lawn frames the home in the center of a roughly 2.5 acre lot. The front walk is lined with boxwoods, and the rear of the home features private vegetable gardens hidden from view.
Ward returned to the East Park community throughout his career, and perhaps this is no coincidence, considering the compatible, symbiotic relationship between the neighborhood's residential architecture and McPherson Park. Another Willie Ward design sits at 25 Harcourt Drive. Designed in 1940, it represents characteristics of the Colonial Revival style, such as prominent cross-gables and chimney, off-set entryway, brick veneering, polygonal bay windows, and a west-facing gable dormer. The one-and-a-half story floorplan is a reflection of how Ward modernized the classical rules of symmetry in his designs: rather than creating a "mirrored" composition, he seemed to be more interested in constructing an off-set yet balanced design compatible with the natural topography of the lot.
Willie Ward, by the end of World War II, had become one of the South's most influential architects, highly praised for his various Revival-style designs and strict adherence to traditional principles. When he designed the Hugh Aiken House at 1 Parkside Drive in 1948, the next generation of Greenville-based architects had already been inspired by his work in residential architecture throughout the Upstate. Although one of his most famous designs, it is also one of the most eclectic, drawing from both Colonial and modern influences. The home was designed in 1948 and constructed in 1952 for Hugh K. Aiken, the president and treasurer of Piedmont Paint and Manufacturing Company. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
The Hugh Aiken House, constructed on an extensively landscaped lot of 4.9 acres on Parkside Drive at West Avondale Drive, sits two blocks from the North Main area. The design builds upon that of 25 Harcourt Drive and displays hallmark characteristics of the Colonial Revival style mentioned above. The design also represents, however, a departure from Ward's otherwise strict adherence to Revivalist designs. Upon closer examination, one can't help but infer that the influence of modern, post-war architecture is present at the Hugh Aiken House. For instance, it has an angled, one-and-a-half story footprint, and although design elements on the interior seem to be symmetrical, the exterior floor plan is rectangular, yet one-sided. Ward was proud of these design elements, and their employment re ected the future of residential design over the next several decades. In fact, according to Bob Farmer, one of Ward's former associates, the architect considered the Hugh Aiken House his "modern house."
Ward's reference to modernism and the evident influence of his contemporaries is fitting in this particular setting. Broad Margin, designed in 1954, is one of only two homes in South Carolina designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Sitting within the same block as the Hugh Aiken House, it possesses many of the same characteristics, including the falling topography, numerous hardwood trees, and a creek. Although Ward's self-proclaimed "modern house" is an unusual departure from his adherence to traditional Revivalist designs, it does maintain his insistence upon architectural compatibility with the lot's configuration. The heavily wooded setting is highlighted, and the focal point of the home's footprint is the small pond fed by natural springs, standing in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of downtown Greenville only a few steps away.
Today, what is perhaps most significant about Ward's designs is their relevance. His homes are an excellent showcase of how middle- and upper-class young professionals responded to socio-economic changes of the first half of the twentieth century. It's no secret that Greenville is embarking on a new era. In fact, many find it natural to draw comparisons between Ward's Greenville— the textile giant of pre- and post- World War II—and the present Greenville: the simultaneous growth of the creative class along with the business sector. The ability to attract entrepreneurial industry innovators. The tendency to embrace an innovative spirit along with a nod to traditional practice, preserving Greenville's identity as a truly Southern city.
However, there is also another pattern emerging. In the face of renewed interest in "downtown living," we're seeing increasingly more condominiums and urban housing designs emerge. Greenspace is becoming scarce, although public parks remain a priority. Maybe the new creative class can learn something from Ward—that compatibility with the land and timeless yet eclectic design comprise a recipe for an architectural legacy that stands the test of time.

Women of Troy suffer a pair of one-goal losses
The USC women's soccer team spent the weekend battling two of the toughest opponents the Pac-12 has to offer, fighting until the very end both times. Unfortunately, USC (5-10-3, 2-6-2) fell 1-0 to both No. 1 Stanford (15-1-1, 9-0-0) at the Los Angeles Coliseum in double overtime and No. 21 California (15-4-0, 8-2-0).
"I think it has a real positive impact on us moving forward, but right now it becomes a little frustrating for them," said USC coach Ali Khosroshahin, when asked about playing eight overtime games in a season. "Not getting the bounces, not getting the results. We just gotta fight on here."
USC's contest against California went back and forth all game, with both teams almost even in shots (15-14 USC) and corners (4-3 California). Unfortunately, USC caught an unlucky break when Cal's Ifeoma Onumonu hit a shot from across the field, scoring the only goal of the match on a shot to the far left post.
"The girls are definitely resilient. They've been through a lot this year, a lot of heartbreaks," Khosroshahin said. "They don't quit. They keep working and they keep fighting on."
Junior midfielder Jordan Marada led the Trojans with four shots, while sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Stanley racked up three saves.
"We got a whole lot of talent and everybody puts their heart out there every single time, said junior midfielder Elizabeth Eddy. "That's gonna take us to the next level."
The Coliseum served as a fitting backdrop as the game featured the two Pac-12 teams to ever win an NCAA women's soccer championship. Even though Stanford outshot USC 25-12, both teams had an equal amount of scoring opportunities. The game went into overtime, USC's eighth of the season and only Stanford's second, where things continued to heat up.
The 2011 champs caught a lucky break, as the 2007 champs appeared to win the game on a goal from the box by Jordan Marada, but the goal was nullified because of an offsides call while the celebrations started. Freshman forward Katie Johnson attempted to give USC the win for good on a feed from Eddy, but the shot was stopped by Stanford goalkeeper Emily Oliver, pushing the game into a second overtime.
Stanford took advantage of a USC foul in the 103rd minute to seal the win, as Alina Garciamendez nailed the game-winning goal.
"Stanford is an incredible team," sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Stanley said. "They were national champions last year, we knew we were in for a fight. I could not be prouder of these girls for the way they fought throughout the whole game. Tonight proved that we can keep up with these teams, and I have no doubt in my mind that we can beat teams like this."
USC plays its final regular season game at McAlister Field on Friday against No. 2 UCLA at 2:00 p.m. The game will be televised on Pac-12 Network Los Angeles.

Following the massive layoffs and official impending closure of Telltale Games, it was originally thought that the remaining episodes of The Walking Dead: Final Season would be canceled. It seemed the second episode, which made its debut September 25, 2018, would the last one released. This was based on comments made by previous team members. However, the season may continue after all.
Yesterday evening, Telltale Games made an official statement regarding the The Walking Dead: Final Season. The company stated it has "multiple potential partners" interested in "helping see The Final Season through to completion." There are no promises yet, but the lame duck studio "hope[s] to have answers… soon":
— Telltale Games (@telltalegames) September 24, 2018
The reaction to this news has been mixed. Scrolling through the replies to Telltale's tweet offers insight into the current public opinion on the studio. Plenty of fans are excited by this glimmer of hope, especially since many already paid the full price for the entire season. However, others found the situation off-putting, considering these 250 layoffs appeared out of the blue and left those affected with no severance pay and healthcare that only lasts a week.
Lead God of War developer, Cory Barlog, replied to Telltale's message to voice his support for the original development team, and he essentially said there should be no final episodes until the team gets severance pay.
I would hope this means that you will first pay your entire team their severance, and then proceed to finish the final episodes. I would be fine waiting however long it took to ensure we first treated those who worked so hard with the humanity and respect they deserve.
— Cory Barlog Should be writing! (@corybarlog) September 25, 2018
At the time of writing, The Walking Dead: Final Season is still listed on the PlayStation Store, despite episodes 3 and 4 being currently canceled.

CHICAGO (CBS) — The sight of it is intended to move you, but a new Marquis skyscraper in Chicago had the potential to much too much.
When complete, the city's future 94-story development, the Vista Tower, will stand at nearly 1,200 feet — making it Chicago's third tallest building.
But in the Windy City, the winds are blowing through the architect's design.
"In some of our wind tunnel testing, we discovered the building had a little too much sway on the top," said Sean Linnane, who's with the Magellan Development Group. "Not necessarily that the building would fall over, but it would be uncomfortable if you were at the top."
A model of the building was placed in a wind tunnel and, thus, the problem was discovered. However, it also led to a solution, which was that a place for wind to pass through was needed.
What's now being called a "blow-through floor" is a first for Chicago.
"We take the portion of the building and we raise it up, and we have a portion where the wind can come right through the building," Linnane said.
A blow-through hole exists at 515 N. State, but it's only an aesthetic feature. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said the Willis Tower can sway up to six inches daily, and added that it's surprisingly not alone.
"Probably the vast majority of them [skyscrapers] that you would see on the skyline actually do sway and are built to do so," said Daniel Stafarik, who's with the council.
To reduce sway, some buildings have dampers on the roof, which is a solid piece of concrete or a water tank that helps to weigh down the building.

Star Wars: On the Wrong Side of History & Science – Episode V!
Now it is time for the fifth and final post in a series (click here for the series) on how the Star Wars universe is a Thing of the Past. The ideas upon which the Star Wars universe is built are fading rapidly. They are truly 'on the wrong side of history', and now on the wrong side of science. In Episode II of this series we saw how the idea of a "Plurality of Worlds"—the idea that the universe is full of planets like Earth that are home to lots of life and lots of intelligent life—arose following the Copernican Revolution. The Star Wars universe, which teems with all sorts of life from all sorts of more-or-less Earthlike planets, is a Plurality-of-Worlds universe. But the Plurality of Worlds is really just an Assumption of Homogeneity, an assumption that the rest of the universe is like Earth. As we saw in Episodes II and III of these posts, this assumption … Continue reading →

When you hear politicians speak what do you often think about? For me its acting or lies. Very few politicians are ever true to their word. I'm just an average citizen that is constrained by laws and policies that make it hard to get my basic human rights while it seems others with power and affluence are unconstrained by those same laws and policies. Is this how civil society works?
International Level: International Guru / Political Participation: 2707 100%
It reminds me of the definition of a 'clique' that means "A small close-knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them". Political figures and law makers are this sort of 'official' clique that constantly support themselves over and over while taking advantage of the larger population that cannot participate or they get punished accordingly.

One of the first venues for an electric scooter sharing service was in 2017 in Santa Monica, right down the road from our law firm in Beverly Hills. Scooters as an ingredient in the soup of public transportation are positive from convenience, cost and air-quality viewpoints.
However, introducing an unfamiliar mode of travel into famously heavy California traffic in which the driver's body is unprotected — think bicycles and motorcycles — opens up scooter drivers to collisions with larger vehicles, standing objects and pedestrians as well as to other kinds of mishaps, all of which can potentially cause serious injury to vulnerable scooter drivers.
Scooter-injury patterns
Los Angeles-area medical researchers looked at 249 emergency room admissions at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in the year from Sept. 1, 2017, to Aug. 31, 2018, because of scooter accidents. The most common injury types recorded in the study published in JAMA in January were:
- Head injury (40%)
- Bone fractures (32%)
- Bruising, sprains or cuts without fracture (28%)
Of the 249, 15 people required hospitalization, two of them in intensive care.
Characteristics of mishaps causing harm
The study found these common kinds of scooter accidents:
- Falls (74%)
- Collisions with objects (10%)
- Moving vehicles like bicycles, cars or other scooters striking scooters (8%)
Riders made up 92% of the ER patients with the remaining 8% either having been struck by scooters or having tripped on scooters (which renters may leave anywhere).
Approximately 4% of riders were using helmets, even though the applicable rental agreements "require or recommend them." California law does not require helmets for electric scooters, but of course their use is an important safety practice.
Potential legal remedies
According to ABC News, in November, Lime, one of the major players in the industry, recalled a scooter model "after it concluded they could break apart while in use." If someone is injured because of a defective or dangerous product, the manufacturer, seller, rental company or distributor may be subject to a claim for damages for product liability.
ABC News also reports that Lime has a new e-scooter model that comes with $1 million liability insurance coverage. In any accident involving a scooter, all potentially liable insurers should be considered such those providing insurance purchased by the company offering the scooter for rent, insurance on any other vehicles involved and insurance on vehicles owned by the victim.
Of course, as in any kind of motor vehicle accident, negligent, reckless or illegal driving conduct by other drivers open them up to liability in a personal injury claim if that behavior caused injury to the scooter driver.

Tooshie Swimmers use the same pattern as Tooshies with leg pockets; however, the interior is athletic webbing that allows liquids to pass through, but not poo. The double gusset legs make sure that no solids escape. The PUL used for Swimmers is heavier to withstand concrete and sand.
This diaper fits 10 - 35+ lbs; however, since there are no soakers or inserts, it will fit larger than other diapers made from this pattern.
Make sure to add absorption if needed for the trip from home to the water or for times when not in the water.

College of the Redwoods will hold a public meeting in the CR Board Room on June 4, 2019 at 1:00 p.m., regarding the appropriations limit in accordance with the Gann Appropriations Limit legislation.
Proposition 4, the Gann Appropriations Limit legislation, was passed by the voters of the State in November 1979, and implementing legislation (SB 1352) was subsequently passed by the legislature:
"7910 - Each year the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by
resolution, establish its appropriations limit for the following fiscal year pursuant to
Article XIII B at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. Fifteen
days prior to such meeting, documentation used in the determination of the
appropriations limit shall be available to the public. The determination of the
appropriations limit is a legislative act."
The appropriations limit worksheet for 2019-20 shows an appropriation limit of $28,933,649. The appropriation limit is based on the prior year's appropriation limit, adjusted for changes in actual FTES. Redwoods CCD's 2019-20 appropriations subject to limit totals $27,681,918. The appropriations subject to limit consists primarily of projected state apportionment and projected local property tax revenue. Per Government code 7902.1, when a District exceeds its Gann limit, the District shall provide notification to the Department of Finance. The Districts 2019-20 appropriations subject to limit is $1,251,731 less than the 2019-20 appropriations limit.

Tired of hearing the dull tones of your child declaring, "I'm bored"? Of course you are, because just as your child has run out of ideas to entertain themselves, you've run out of inexpensive ways to occupy them.
But we've got a solution for you and your child - reading. As if, you say. But, hear us out. A recent study led by educational book publisher Scholastic reported that a whopping 90 per cent of children surveyed said they would read a book that they had chosen themselves. So pack the kids and their pocket money into the car and take them to your nearest ALDI to let them choose their next read from a collection of popular children's books priced a cheap as 99 cents.
As part of its Special Buys on Wednesday, 14 February the supermarket chain will be selling children's classics like Alice in Wonderland, Roald Dahl titles and Dr Seuss favourites, plus some new releases, like the Lego book collection.
Books will be priced as low as just 99 cents with the most expensive big book editions costing a reasonable $9.99.
The bargain book sale comes just after famed author and newly appointed Children's Laureate Morris Gleitzman announced that our children need books now more than ever.
"The big challenge for young people today is to move towards their adulthood in a pretty daunting and unsettling world," he told ABC News Breakfast.
He continued, "[Books] equip young readers to embrace an often dark and uncertain world with optimism, resolve and creativity...Young people need stories more than ever."
This week Gleitzman will be starting the role deigned to champion children's literature.
So champion your child's reading and learning by encouraging them to pick books on their own. You won't have much to lose, perhaps just 99 cents.

Dilli´s chilly but never chilled
The Indians we met tend to say: "Delhi is our capital, but it is not India." As the question, what India actually is, may it be on political, cultural or religious level, is a very complex and controversial issue, we preferred not to enter into this discussion too deeply.
For us, New Delhi was the port of entry for our trip through India, where due to overbooked trains to our subsequent destination we spent five full days. A time lapse which allowed us to adapt both our brains and our senses to the new and in so many aspects overwhelming environment.
It is not about the size or the population density as a such, since Sao Paulo, Bangkok, Hanoi or Saigon don´t stand behind Delhi in those pure aspects. The same applies to traffic, noise, smells and diversity of people around. Delhi is just a little more of everything, an overload of the senses and when we went to bed the first days or heads hurt so much that they seemed to explode.
As most budget tourist, we stayed in Pahar Ganj, a quite old district next to New Delhi Railway station, famous for the Main Bazaar and the multitude of shops and restaurants around. When talking about restaurants, don´t think of Western style equivalents. Most of them are constituted of an improvised open kitchen, installed directly next to the street, and a bunch of small tables in a narrow house entry. In most of them a little shrine or at least a picture of some god or ancestor, adorned with orange flowers, isn´t missing and if you come at the right time you can see the restaurant owner giving prayers to it, while enwrapping the addressee in incense.
Pahar Ganj is a very busy district, with its narrow streets packed with street vendors, cars, public busses, motorbikes, Tuk-Tuks and Rikshas, fighting their way through in an absolutely audacious and chaotic manner for the foreign eye. A pedestrian has to concentrate 100% to distinguish the deafening honking coming from all sides to evade all kinds of vehicles which come cross your way. No respect of any Western style traffic rules, the strongest or most audacious comes first.
Finding your way in the chaos is not the easiest task. While guides and city maps nicely indicate all street names as orientation, we haven´t found a single proper street name sign in Delhi. Asking people around for the way is generally a bad idea, as the risk of being – intentionally or unintentionally – mislead is quite high. Additionally, getting lost in the tiny, angled lanes of Pahar Ganj is not uncommon, so safe orientation is done best by remembering your walking pattern… and not daring any experiments, as according to our experience short cuts normally don´t lead where you expect.
As Taxis are relatively expensive and Tuktuk or Riksha drivers don´t always take you where you´re heading at, the New Delhi metro is a very good and cheap alternative to get around. The metro system covers a wide spread area of the city, is quite new and modern, with large stations and a high security level – which means cameras everywhere inside the station and trains. Before being allowed to enter the platforms, one has to pass through an airport like security scan, with separate rows for gents and ladies.
While Delhi is generally renown for its hot climate, we arrived in the coldest – or as the Indians say, most chilly – period of the year, which implied temperatures of 10-15°C with mostly fog and rain. As in most hot countries, houses are more prepared to prevent the entering of heat than of cold, so that many times the temperature inside the rooms was lower than outside. To warm themselves up, people lit small fires all over the street, so that throughout the whole district you´ll have the smell of burned wood, mixed with all different types of bread prepared on the inner face of an upright standing stone oven, diversities o vegetables fried in soy oil and undefinable spices, cow shit, urines, exhaust gases, incense and who knows what else… in any case a very exotic cocktail to our European noses.
It may certainly be a very loud, crowded, chaotic and often tireding place, but Delhi definitely has its magic and when it comes out it is often unexpectedly, as a marvelous Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib) in the middle of no name grey concrete blocks and a noisy main road.


text: How I may spend my entire weekend Saturday, 07 April 2012 10:25:08 CDT David-Braverman Geography, Work (0) The Census and the National Archives have released the entire 1940 enumeration quasi-digitally. I think the data drop is great. I am going to download a few specific documents based on what I know about my own family, and about some of the places I've lived that were around in April 1940.But as a software developer who works mainly with Cloud-based, large-data apps, I am puzzled by some of the National Archives' choices. I say "quasi-digitally" because the National Archives didn't enter all the tabulated data per se; instead they scanned all the documents and put them out as massive JPEG images. I'm now downloading the data for one census tract, and the 29 MB ZIP file is taking forever to finish. The actual data I'm looking would take maybe 1-2 kB. That said, I understand it's a massive undertaking. There are hundreds of thousands of pages; obviously entering all the data would cost too much. But this goes to the deeper problem: The Archives knew or should have known that they'd get millions of page views and thousands of download requests. So I need to ask, why did they make the following boneheaded technical decisions? They used classic ASP, an obsolete technology I haven't even used since 2001. The current Microsoft offering, ASP.NET MVC 3, is to classic ASP what a Boeing 787 is to a DC-3. It's an illuminated manuscript in the era of steam-driven presses. They organized the data by state and city, which makes sense, until you get to something the size of Chicago. Northfield Township, where I grew up, takes up one map and about 125 individual documents. Chicago has over 100 maps, which you have to navigate from map #1 to the end, and a ridiculous number of individual documents. You can search for the census tract you want by cross streets, but you can't search for the part of the city map you want by any visible means. I'm still waiting for my 32-page document after 22 minutes. Clearly the Archives don't have the bandwidth to handle this problem. Is this a budget issue? Perhaps Microsoft or Google could help here by donating some capacity until the rush is over? In any event, once I get my documents, I'm going to spend some time going over them. I really want to find out what kind of people lived in my current apartment 70 years ago. Update: The first download failed at 1.9 MB. The second attempt is at 6.6...and slowing down... Update: The second and third attempts failed as well. I have, however, discovered that they've at least put the data out on Amazon Web Services. So...why are the downloads pooping out?

One woman who participated in this campaign said, "I joined the #SayAbortion campaign because abortion is normal, abortion is health care, and I will not apologize for putting my life first." Now that's essentially an admission she sacrificed her child to the god of self!
Another woman wants to make the conversation about abortion "as easy as talking about a colonoscopy," as if a doctor checking to ensure nothing is going wrong in a patient's colon is the same as violently murdering a human life within the safety of his or her mother's body. What depravity we see these women stooping to!
A third woman claims she knows the "joys of motherhood" because she probably would not have the kids she now has if she hadn't had one of her children murdered. Oh, such evil we see around us!
Abortion is nothing less than the sacrifice of unborn children to the god of self.
Their billboards should state "I murdered my child and I'm not apologizing" or "I sacrificed my child to the god of self and I'm not apologizing." As I have stated many times, abortion is nothing less than the sacrifice of unborn children to the god of self. The one woman's statement that she put her life first clearly illustrates that. She selfishly chose to live the life she wanted at the expense of her own child's life. This should wrench our hearts as it does the Lord's: "The Lord hates . . . hands that shed innocent blood" (Proverbs 6:16–17).
We're in an increasingly sick and depraved culture where people and organizations try to normalize sinful behavior such as abortion, same-sex relations, gender fluidity, and euthanasia, as generations brainwashed in evolutionary naturalism infect society with their belief that man is his own god.
Here's what I would say to these women who aren't apologizing or feeling ashamed of their murderous actions: what you need is not just the feeling of sorrow or shame you refuse to feel. You need genuine repentance and to humbly kneel before our Creator and Savior.
Someday, these women will stand before God and be held accountable for their actions, including for the life of the child they so easily discarded. But they don't have to receive God's well-deserved wrath and judgment (which is what every single person rightly deserves for their sin, whatever that sin may be) for their abortion (Romans 8:1)—they can repent and trust in Christ. Then their guilt will be removed (Acts 3:19) because the sinless Christ bore it for them (2 Corinthians 5:21)! If anyone trusts in Christ, they will stand before God clothed in a righteousness (Isaiah 61:10) they don't deserve and didn't earn (Ephesians 2:8–9)—a righteousness that comes only because Christ took our place, dying on the cross, and rising from the grave. I urge those women—and everyone else—to repent and believe the gospel today.
These women need to know that when they do genuinely repent and ask for forgiveness before the living God, God promises he "will remember their sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12).

I'm not a runner. Let's just put that out there. I've tried – I joined a gym a little over a month ago but on my second time there I had a very embarrassing incident with the treadmill and I haven't been back (those things can really speed up pretty fast!!).
I didn't get the athletic genes of the family but both of my sisters did. And I'm so very, very proud to say that my middle sister, Michelle, is going to be running the "Grandma's Marathon" in Duluth tomorrow.
This is something that she's always wanted to do and it has been on her "bucket list". This year she decided to go for it and run in memory of my brother. I'm sooo very sad I can't be there in person (on the sidelines) to cheer her on because of an obligation I have for my daughter, but I just want her to know I'm going to be there every step of the way in spirit and want to wish her the best of luck!!
Good luck Mic – I know you'll do great!! In honor of your success I'm going to get back on the treadmill next week – maybe I'll be able to keep up with you the marathon in September. LOL.
Love you! ~Jess
And because this one was too funny not to include…..

An Ann Arbor-based ensemble that recreates the nation's premier brass band from the 1840s-1880s will perform at Fort Wilkins Historic State Park in Keweenaw County this month.
The Dodworth Saxhorn Band is based upon the acclaimed Independent Band of New York City, which was founded by the Dodworth family in 1825.
The band's performance at Fort Wilkins will be at 7 p.m. July 27 on the west barracks porch. The concert will be moved indoors if the weather is inclement.
According to promotional information about the ensemble, the band recreates the fun and atmosphere of a brass band concert from this era, when live entertainment was the norm and not the exception.
"Wearing period costume and playing period instruments, (the) Dodworth Saxhorn Band serves to entertain and educate its audiences through programs composed of scripted scenes that address many of the social and political issues of the 19th century," the information read. "These include various aspects of the Civil War, immigration, the suffrage and temperance movements, and even baseball. Through music and dialog, (the) Dodworth Saxhorn Band strives to bring America's past to life."
All brass instruments used by the band are originals from the 1800s. The drums are also 19th-century antiques with wood frames, rope tensioning systems and animal-hide heads.
The Dodworth Saxhorn Band's music has been featured in several documentary films and has been released on two compact discs. Alexander Pollock, an architect for the city of Detroit, formed the group in 1985 as a research and performance project in living history. He collected musical instruments from the 1800s.
The concert is part of the fort's 175th anniversary. Ice cream and cake will be served in the east mess hall.
Admission to the performance is free of charge. However, a Recreation Passport is required to gain admission to the state park.

Ferrari has filed an application in Europe to patent an intriguing new forced induction four-cylinder engine that employs an electrically operated turbocharger and is apparently capable of serving up a precisely controlled exhaust sound.
According to the diligent folks over at AutoGuide, the Maranello-based brand filed the application with the European Patent Office on 18 July 2018.
The US-based publication says the four-pot engine features a turbine (which is driven by exhaust gases) inserted into the exhaust duct, which operates an electric generator.
The resulting energy, says AutoGuide, is used to power an electric motor capable of sending drive to the wheels and an electrically assisted compressor (which is inserted in an intake duct and, Ferrari points out, is mechanically independent of the turbine) that forces air into the engine. Of course, like other forms of electric assistance for turbocharged engines, this set-up would serve to mitigate turbo-lag.
Perhaps even more interestingly, though, Ferrari says in its application that the fact that the turbine is sited in an exhaust duct would help with the precise control of the exhaust note.
In effect, the speed of said turbine wheel could be finely adjusted (by the ECU, we're guessing) to tune the exhaust sound at any given engine speed.

AP
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday he will travel to South Korea after next week's summit between the U.S. and North Korean leaders to discuss the results of the historic meeting.
The top U.S. diplomat will make a two-day trip to Seoul on Wednesday after accompanying U.S. President Donald Trump to his June 12 nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore.
In Seoul, he is expected to meet with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono.
"The Secretary's trip demonstrates the Administration's focus on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and commitment to our alliances and partnerships in the Indo-Pacific Region," the State Department said in a press release. "He will meet with senior Korean and Japanese officials to discuss the U.S.-Republic of Korea alliance, the U.S.-Japan alliance, our shared priorities, and next steps in our shared approach to North Korea."
Pompeo also plans to visit Beijing next Thursday to meet with Chinese officials.
The secretary announced the trip while speaking to reporters at the White House about the upcoming summit.
He said the two countries have narrowed their differences on the definition of denuclearization, but refused to elaborate.
"North Korea has confirmed to us its willingness to denuclearize," he said, adding that Kim personally made the indication during their earlier meetings in Pyongyang.
He also said Kim understands the two sides can't settle on an agreement to denuclearize in exchange for concessions "the way we've done it before." (Yonhap)

In our flow of getting your users to use the platform we foresee that 3 important emails will have to be send. The first activation email, a reminder and a reinforcement email. Her are some guidelines and tricks to make it work for you:
Email 1: introduce the purpose of the project and explain them what to do
This is the first email to invite your team to use the platform. With this email we're going to:
- inform your team why you're implementing the tool and encourage them to adopt it
- Be really specific about the actions you want your team to do. Keep it simple and start with small actions.
We included the following example, but make sure to tailor it to your use-case:
Hi (name),
You've been invited to use intuo. From now on we're going to use this tool to keep track of everyone's objectives and to log the 1-1 conversations with your manager. Even though we're growing at a fast pace we want to focus on your personal development.
Though the objectives we want to keep everyone committed in helping you grow. An objective is a goal that you want to reach in 2 to 3 months and is something that benefits the company but moreover encourages you to develop your own skills. An example could be 'become a better leader' or 'book 4 meetings this quarter'.
What are we expecting from you now?
You will receive an invitation email tomorrow. We expect you to log-in and create a password. Then there are 2 important things we would like you to focus on :
Log a check-in with your team lead once a month: http://recordit.co/3XpgcKApkU
Set quarterly objectives: http://recordit.co/M3L7zQeJzE
Next week, your team lead will plan the first check-in soon to talk about these objectives and how they can help you reach them.
It's very important that during a strategic workshop you determine what we core behavior is that you want to set during those first few months of the roll-out and when it comes to explaining what people are supposed to do; the more dynamic the better! Make a video or a gif animation so your team knows exactly what to do.
Email 2: The Reminder Email
In the second email you want to remind people of the action you want them to set, but this time you should be a bit more persuasively, but not sales-y (it's a thin line, we know). Here are a couple persuasion principles you can use:
- Reciprocity: in many situations, we pay back what we owe to someone else. In social situations you invite a person to your party if you were invites to theirs. You can use it in your email as the following example "We know there's been a need for a feedback tool so we got you the best one. All you need to do is to complete your account and get started", making sure the give-and-take dynamic is included in this one.
- Scarcity: When people believe something is in short supply, they will value and want it more. This principle won't work in a general roll-out but could be very motivating in pilot groups where seats are limited. Example: "Pilot members who don't set their own objectives by end of week will be removed from the pilot".
- Consensus: if people are unsure about what to do, they will look to others to determine their behavior. Example: '83% of your peers have already logged-in and set their objectives, what are you waiting for?'
Don't forget to remind them of the specific actions you want them to undertake so add the steps and animations from the first email.
Email 3: Success stories
Use your current ambassadors and their enthusiasm to create some testimonials. Ambassadors could be your product champions or people who are seen as company role models. People are more likely to adopt the behavior of their peers or from someone they really like, you guessed it, that's another persuasion principle. A video message is even more powerful and all you need is a smartphone with a decent camera. Get creative!
Hi all,
We've been using intuo for a quarter now and we've seen some great results so far. Here are some reactions from the team:
"As a new member of the team, I love having objectives. Even though I'm not fully adding to the team target yet I do see that I'm making progress in my skills and onboarding. Very motivating".
Jean, Finance Team, Ghent
"I had a check-in with a team member last week and it was a great conversation! I know so much more about this person because we discussed topics we had never touched on before."
Kristin, Sales Benelux Team, Brussels
"I love how to helped out a colleague the other day and even though she didn't have to, she praised me on the platform and it made my day."
Katherine, Product Marketing, Ghent

America, As Seen on TV : How Television Shapes Immigrant Expectations around the Globe Paperback / softback
by Clara E. Rodriguez
The surprising effects of American TV on global viewers As a dominant cultural export, American television is often the first exposure to American ideals and the English language for many people throughout the world.
Yet, American television is flawed, and, it represents race, class, and gender in ways that many find unfair and unrealistic.
What happens, then, when people who grew up on American television decide to come to the United States?
What do they expect to find, and what do they actually find?
In America, As Seen on TV, Clara E. Rodriguez surveys international college students and foreign nationals working or living in the US to examine the impact of American television on their views of the US and on their expectations of life in the United States.
She finds that many were surprised to learn that America is racially and economically diverse, and that it is not the easy-breezy, happy endings culture portrayed in the media, but a work culture.
The author also surveys US-millennials about their consumption of US TV and finds that both groups share the sense that American TV does not accurately reflect racial/ethnic relations in the US as they have experienced them.
However, the groups differ on how much they think US TV has influenced their views on sex, smoking and drinking.
America, As Seen on TV explores the surprising effects of TV on global viewers and the realities they and US millennials actually experience in the US.

The Boss's Dog
Up yer nose, then....By The General
I suppose you think these grass seeds look pretty and all – but I can tell you, they are no fun up your nose.
It's a trap for a dog like me at this time of year.
My nose – as I have pointed out before – has an impressive 300 million olefactory receptors – as compared to your six million or so.
Which means my sense of smell is at least 40 times better than yours and provides me with just about everything I need to know – so much so that I rely on my nose more than my ears, or my eyes, in that order.
What happens is that some of the air I sniff in goes straight to my lungs and the rest winds its way over these clever bony bits in my nose that separate all kinds of interesting molecules that tells me more than you'll ever know – or probably want to know.
And a gifted hunting dog like myself has slits in the side of its nose that the air can escape – while I'm still sniffing, continuously. Bet you didn't know that!
Of course, sniffing continuously can get a grown dog into trouble in the late spring when there's all these loose grass seeds floating around – some of them are called awns, with sharp prongs on the back so they don't come out once they go in.
This what exactly what happened a few weeks back and there I was, back at the Vet's again, with a bit of blood coming out my nose (I've given it my best shot trying to send it out the way it came in.)
Turns out I was successful, too, but the Boss didn't know that and so I had to be quietened down a little since an A-type personality like myself doesn't co-operate when probes are thrust up his snout. Particularly when he didn't need it.
Anyway, they gave me a grease and oil change while I was there and they found one ear with a yeast infection from not flicking the water out after my morning swim - and the other had a tear in the ear-drum, so with a few extra drugs and a check-up the next week it left the Boss's wallet a good deal lighter.
But hey – who needs a cheap dog? Woof.

PSN back online as Sony rights Christmas attack
After three days of downtime, millions of frustrated PlayStation owners, and quite probably a fair few tantrums on Christmas morning, Sony's PlayStation Network has finally been restored. The online gaming service had been offline since December 25th, the victim of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), as servers were hammered by web traffic and legitimate gamers were unable to connect for multiplayer titles and more. However, while Microsoft moved relatively quickly to bring Xbox Live back to life, restoring the majority of its services by the following day, Sony's fix was nowhere in sight.

Fifty years ago, access to information was king (it was mostly kept in universities and libraries). Ten years ago, the information itself was king (access was digitally pushed/pulled into every household). Today, the ability to filter (exposing yourself to only the information you need or desire) and the ability to index (the physical, digital and intellectual act of organizing information) share the throne.
Your leadership leverage is determined by your ability to gain clarity and then transfer that clarity to others. To get better at that, get better at filtering and indexing.

Melissa Rogne – President
Melissa Rogne is Rejuv's President and Founder and has been a skin care professional since 2000. Melissa is known as a pioneer in the aesthetics industry: she became one of the first Licensed Medical Aestheticians in North Dakota after graduating from St. Paul Technical College. In 2005 she opened Rejuv. Her vision was to create a unique facility that provides a positive working environment for like-minded colleagues in the aesthetic industry – those that had love and passion for the work they do on a daily basis and for the clients they treat. As an innovator, Melissa's goal is to advance the industry while advancing care and technology at Rejuv. She loves to be on the cutting edge and she loves to learn and use that new information to raise the bar on service offerings and technology.
Melissa oversees all aspects of clinic operations, with a focus on education and marketing. Melissa's skincare philosophy: "Slow and steady wins the race!" Invest in great products, diligently use them every day, and maintain a routine of monthly skin care treatments. Melissa's favorite product at Rejuv is the Rejuv RX Even Tone brightening pads. In addition to her medical aesthetics license, Melissa has a Bachelor's of Science degree in psychology from North Dakota State University. She is frequently sought after as a business consultant to medical professionals adding medical aesthetics to their practices and conducts regular training in the medical aesthetics arena through her consulting company, MRogne & Co. Melissa has been featured in many industry publications, including Skin Inc. and DermaScope. She is very proud of that fact that Rejuv is a top 250 provider of Botox and dermal fillers, the number one CoolSculpting provider in the midwest, and the number one SilkPeel and Oxygeneo provider in the United States.
Cory Rogne – Vice President/CFO
Cory oversees the financial management of Rejuv and brings over 20 years of business experience to the Rejuv team. He "officially" joined the Rejuv team in 2010 but has always been a resource for Melissa since the early days. He is affectionately referred to as Rejuv's "maintenance man" as he is our go-to resource for maintaining all 26 of our FDA approved medical devices!
Cory is an advocate for men becoming comfortable with the benefits of aesthetic services. His favorite services include Botox, Halo and PRP hair restoration. His favorite skin care product is the Defenage Bioserum – men love to keep it simple and this power serum takes care of all the heavy lifting in one product!
Holly Bernhardt – Clinic Director

She has a Bachelor's of Business Administration Degree in Management, with an emphasis in Human Resources, from the University of North Dakota.

She is dedicated to creating an atmosphere where clients have positive and memorable experiences and where each person feels special. Holly started with Rejuv early in the company's history and is happy to be part of what it has grown into today. Holly's favorite services at Rejuv include Collagen Induction Therapy, which is amazing for textural improvement, Oxygeneo for its intense hydration, and Botox, of course!
Kimberly Busch – Business Strategist Director
Kimberly is Rejuv's Director of Business Strategy. She works behind the scenes to support the team's efficiencies and growth. Kimberly brings over 23 years of work experience in numerous service-related industries and holds a double bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Human Resources Management. She loves coming to work every day with a group of women who are fun, motivated, and collaborative. The team and culture that represents Rejuv is the kind of energy and heart that she loves to be a part of.
Kimberly's favorite product at Rejuv is the Hydrating & Peptide Boost HA Serum, also known as "Blue Juice". She loves it for its multifunctional magic and how it provides immediate hydrating effects.
For services, she is extremely fond of the skin health assessment, VISIA. It provides an evaluation of the skin that opens up options to optimize skin health with preventative solutions.
Favorite quote: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."- Maya Angelou
Mallory Steinmetz – Technology and Project Manager

On her days off, Valerie spends time with her daughter. She loves having Harry Potter movie marathons or reading.

Agencies: North Little Rock Police Department Arkansas
Last updated: about 2 years ago
Police responded to a call that Storay was causing a disturbance on a city bus. As the officer escorted Storay off the bus, Storay allegedly hit him with a cane. The officer responded by shooting and killing Storay. Storay was a disabled Army veteran who required the cane to walk. Storay had experienced police violence before. In 2011, Storay filed a lawsuit against the North Little Rock Police Department after three officers assaulted him.
