TRIBAL COUNCIL MINUTES ON FLOWAGE PROPOSAL 1916 December, 9
Tribal Council Lac Courte Oreilles Indians
held at Reserve, Wisconsin December 9, 1916
Louis Dennis
This meeting was called to order by Superintendent McQuigg, who stated as there was no Agency Interpreter and he had no choice in the matter he would leave it to the Council to select their own interpreter. A motion was made by Mr. Mike Wolfe that Mr. Louis Dennis act as interpreter, which was seconded by Mr. Ira O. Isham and carried unanimously.
Superintendent McQuigg gave a talk, showing the ill effects from the use of liquor, especially to the women. He also spoke of the error and wastefulness of getting in debt and living beyond what they earned and explained the situation also that made it difficult to keep older Indians at the school.
Superintendent McQuigg: The next thing to speak of and the most important is the proposed dam and flowage project. This is something that needs your careful thought and consideration. The representative of this Development Company was into see me yesterday morning and I told him we were to have a meeting this evening but that I preferred that he not come as I would like the Indians to talk to me directly so that I could get true thoughts. I see he is here however. He will tell you himself about the plan which he has set down in writing.
Mr. McPherson: When I was here on Election Day, some men asked me if I would put what I said in writing for the right to use the tribal land. We will deed to the United States the Huss Townsite except that part now owned by the Presbyterian Church and some lots owned by white men. There are approximately 100 acres but about 10 acres we have not been able to get title too. (Mr. McPherson then explained paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the agreement executed at Grand Rapids, Michigan on December the 5th.
Superintendent McQuigg: I would like all the Indians to ask Mr. McPherson any questions that they wish to now, and after he has answered them I will request him to leave us for a few minutes so that we can talk this matter over ourselves.
Mr. Mike Buffalo: We do not think it is right to make Mr. McPherson go out side now as the Indians here will say anything to his face that we want to say. We are not afraid to tell him anything we want to.
Mr. Charles Sogay: You say that the dam is going to be built, but now you say we Indians have the right to stop it if we so desire.
Mr. McPherson: Do the Indians want me to go and leave the paper here.
Mr. Ira O. Isham: Why are not the people from Post here? None of the people from Post have come to this council. They were told but I do not know the reason. Several of these men have come quite a long ways so I think we had better go on and continue with the business. If you have anything to say I would speak out now as we have an interpreter.
Mr. Steve Grover: My friends, what I want to talk about is Indian business. One old man living, Alex Corbin, said he was with the surveyor and this reservation contains 6 townships and that he also said he had a book that said that and that he does not see why the ex-chiefs did not see to it and that now the way the reservation now is contains 3 townships and the white men got the rest of it. When he came to this reservation Smith, Risk and Company were logging here. It is up to Indians now. You full bloods, the land Mr. McPherson is after at the Post does not do us any good at all. That is the way I look into the matter. The Post people might have already disposed of their 80. Take this fall, no game can be killed any more. This is the way I look at it. If you want to do anything I am with you. We can not all go up there and farm so why could we not lease the tribal land and receive payment each year. No Indian could sell his allotment without the consent of the Council. Mike Wolfe told me it had been appealed. That is all I have to say.
Mike Wolfe: That law has been repealed some eight or nine years ago, so that the Indian may sell the allotment if he wants.
Mr. John Quarderers: About a week ago I was in Hayward and met old Anaquet and we had a long talk. He said several of the young Indians had let their 80 acres go and that I was now going to let mine go, but they would be sorry of it. That most all of us had had the benefit of our pine, and that tribal land ought to belong to our grandchildren. Lots of old men and women and children and they should have the biggest part of it. I do not approve of Mr. Grovers plan and that they should have the benefit that have no allotments. This is all I have to say, that I expect no benefit, as I have an allotment and believe in naming a figure and talk face to face with the representative.
Mr. Steve Grover: Do you believe what Mr. Quarderers has to say, dont we get more by leasing than by selling it outright.
Mr. John Henion: Mr. McPherson, Mr. Wolfe is one of our chiefs as well. You were right about it being 13 years ago. When you spoke about this matter 13 years ago why did you not speak about it to them. As when this flowage right passed Congress, says it is up to the head chiefs as to what will be done. Now all these Indians, we do not know about these people, the Post people, but these people assembled here. We say we do not want the dam built, as the white people have done as they pleased on this reservation.
Mr. McPherson: This act was not passed purposefully for this reservation, but for all reservations.
Mr. Peter Wolfe: I havent much to say, as I will not say one way or the other. I leave it to the voice of the council.
Mr. Mike Wolfe: Since the North American Indian was discovered by explorers he has been pushed, little by little from his holdings. The white man asks first for lodging, he is given it. He asks for a little farm: he is given it also. He has been pushed further back and further back and finally placed on the reservation. He has signed papers and made promises only to have the white man break them. They have held councils before and the white men have not done what they said. That is the reason today you can not get these men to act. They are afraid this will be broken also. A few years ago the men sent here by the government to look after the Indians on this reservation were regular devils. They stole from the Indians every chance they got. They degraded our women, lied to the Indians and hurt them instead of helping them. The older generation was brought up different than I was. They lived in teepees and in the forest. I was born and raised in a little log cabin and have gone to school and have been employed by the government. My children will be brought up different from me, and their children will be brought different than them. When they are grown no reservation will exist but if we let these tribal lands go now, we will have more lands somewhere else.
Mr. Prosper Guibord: We can not farm on water. A person can see by looking at the map that about one fifth of our reservation is covered with water and that if this dam is to be put in nearly half of it will be covered with water. The Government tells us Indians that we all have to be farmers soon in order to make a living and how can we farm on water? If the people do not want this dam they have nothing to fear as we have the entire Indian Office of six thousand employees behind us and lots of friends.
Kekek: For my part I am not in favor of it. From Chief Lake to Post we got a good many mouthfuls of food and I think that we should not be quiet and talk now.
Mr. John King: I have been listening to your talks. The way I look at it you are going to lose your lands he offers you more land and the Company is making a good offer as they will buy more land and build more houses. Do not follow my advise but do as you like. As for my part I think it would be all right.
Superintendent McQuigg: I want to tell you a story. We will say here is a nice white pine log with a limb sticking up out of it. An Indian man is sitting on the near end of it and a white man comes and sits down by him. He moves closer to the Indian and the Indian moves further off. They do this until the Indian is up against the limb. The white man asks him to move further but the Indian cannot. This is what I want to illustrate. The place where the Indians was sitting first was Reserve and the white man came over this and cut off all the good timber on it. The limb is the tribal land at Post. If this limb is cut off it will give this Company the right to put in the dam and move the Indians around Reserve or some other place. This may be a good thing because the land around Reserve offers more farm land than that of the Post. I want all you Indians to know all the facts in this matter which would influence your decision and I want you to know that if you cut off the limb and remove the restrictions on the 99 acres of tribal land at the Post the Company can put in the dam. The Company can also condemn the allotted lands of each Indian who has land that will be covered by water. This land will probably be appraised by three persons as Mr. McPherson has suggested or by some other way and the Indian will have to take what is adjudged by these appraisers as a fair price, no matter whether each allottee wants to sell or not. What do you think this Company has come here for to put in this dam? They have come here and want tribal lands to make money. When they have the dam they can do with it as they please, but they are putting it in to make profits for themselves. This tribal property is necessary for them to put in this dam and I believe the Indians should be made partners in some manner so they will get their share of the profits of this natural resource. If they cannot get profits from year to year, the Company should give you enough to cover your lands and houses, rice fields, cranberry marshes, blueberry grounds and part of the profits which they will make. These tribal lands were given to these Indians and the Indian Office is now your friend and they will help you get everything it is worth as much as possible for you if you decide to let the dam be put in
Mr. Billie Boy: We Indians know we have moved from Chetek on account of them, which spoiled our rice. We then moved to Red Cedar. Another dam was built and spoiled our rice. We then moved to Little Chetac, about ten miles from here. Another dam was build and spoiled our rice. I think we had better wait until the Post Indians are here to see what they have to say.
Mr. F.C. Setter: I do not see what damage this dam is going to do a majority of the Indians. White people are coming in and they are improving the country and I do not believe we need to fear but what we will get justice now. In the old days Farmers and Employees here were put here by politicians and they tried to make as much as they could. The Indians Service is not like that now and they cant be dishonest if they want to be now.
Superintendent McQuigg: I will not allow a vote to be taken on this proposition now as there are no Post Indians here. The Post Indians are the Indians most affected by this dam and they will have to be taken care of first. They are the ones most concerned in it, but we will have another council.
Mr. Mike Wolfe: Where do you stand, Mr. McQuigg, in regard to putting in this dam? It seems like some of the Indians think there may be some underhand work in this matter and we want to know that you mean to stand by the Indians.
Superintendent McQuigg: Certainly, I intend to do all I can for them and if the Indians decide not to put it in I will fight against it as much as I can, or as long as I hold my position here.
Mr. Mike Wolfe: Mr. McPherson what would you be willing to give in cold cash for the 99 acres without any of the other things you have mentioned?
Mr. McPherson: I am willing to give $25,000 if I do not need to do any of the other things of which I spoke. The Huss township will cost us $6,000 and we will have to build many homes for the Indians as well as moving all their graves.
It was decided to hold the next council at Reserve at 10 oclock A.M. on December 30th. The meeting was then adjourned.

« My first "real" photograph : Mekong Delta, Vietnam, October 1991. I was 23 years old and was making my first journey to Asia, following the footsteps of my dad who was a navy officer. In Vietnam, I had chosen as a theme the Mekong Delta, with an old Olympus and Marguerite Duras as my travel stipends. Seeking otherworldiness and perfection, my mind was filled with the great pictures of Bischof, Cartier-Bresson et Riboud. When I came back to Paris and discovered this picture, I was certain that photography would follow me throughout the world and that it would be the essentiel witness of my life. »
François Fontaine, an atypical case of the French artistic scene, began with History of Art studies in the Sorbonne University, where he wrote a PhD. This specialist of artistic theory soon let himself be enthralled with the medium of photography and travelling.
Therefore, he is more to be seen as a traveller, a poet of the image, than as a pure photographer. François Fontaine's speech appears simple and tender at the same time, especially when he tackles the journeys or his own life and his random encounters.

Into everyone's life some rain must fall. The problem, though, is that when it comes to my life it falls continuously and with all the fury of a Bombay monsoon. This particular occasion, though, I intend shedding copious tears about how little appreciated I am.
You know, everybody seems to have a crowd of people who are not too discerning and, if discerning, not too nitpicking about their efforts. Probably, in childhood, when they bleated, "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" there was a chorus of people telling them and their parents, "He is the future Mohammed Rafi." When they started on A for Apple, they were the next Salman Rushdie or Chetan Bhagat as per choice. When they first got their crayons and the walls squirmed with the fear of their attentions, Picasso could take their correspondence course. When they...hmmm, you got the point? OK.
Comes to me, though, I seem to be surrounded by the most nitpicking of critics every single time. I mean, I sing a film song and out comes my audience with "On that third line, you should use the soft 'Ri'" I was not even aware that I was using ANY 'Ri', regardless of its texture but...and, no information about whether, but for that 'Ri', whatever it meant, the singing was pleasant or not. These chaps, though, count as the best of the lot, believe me. There are those who clutch their ears and run as though someone was pouring hot oil into them. Somewhere in between are the guys who egg me on to sing and then start vociferously chatting with the others as though to drown out the braying of...forget it, I am sure you know the animal which brays. So much for encouragement.
And then I start writing. Here, at last, I thought I may not fare too badly. I happily share my writing and..."In that third line in the fourth para, there is an unnecessary comma." AND, of course, not a word about how it was otherwise. THAT, of course, was from a discerning reader who actually bothered to get back to me. Else...even a stone sinks into the water after causing ripples.
You know, it beats me how I manage to find all these people and ONLY them. The ones with so fine-tuned a taste that a 'Ri' of the wrong texture or a misplaced comma completely ruins their day. Somewhat like that Princess in the fairy tale who lay down atop some 20 mattresses and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, because a single solitary pea under that whole stack was irritating her sensitive skin. I could do with a little less discernment in my audience but, what can I say, if you went only by MY audience, you'd think that only animals could have any lesser discernment.
What was THAT? I have had my share of people praising me? Even those who comment DO comment, they do not ignore? I should learn to count my blessings? So, when was the last YOU counted YOUR blessings? Ah...I thought so. You are currently too busy counting your curses that you have not yet got around to it? Exactly! THAT's the way with me as well.
Anyway, I am still waiting for some uncritical admiration...and it is still raining!

You should enhance WHAT?!?!?!?
Some time ago, when I was reading a fortune a day
from a large bag of fortune cookies, I found
this little gem inside my crispy treat.
" You should enhance your
feminine side at this time. "
I know.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this.
I should cry, because wouldn't that
be a great way to get in touch with
and enhance my "feminine side" ?!???
Seriously, who went on break at the factory
that makes these fortune cookies ?!???
So, now that I've allowed myself to think that
enhancing my feminine side is a bad thing;
I wonder in what other areas of my Life do I
perceive things said as being negative.
For example, I see women as a whole to be
a far more social creature; talkative and outgoing.
I've wanted to be more of THAT my entire Life !!!
But instead, I had visions of needing to trim my nails,
pay more attention to my hair, wear sweeter cologne,
and maybe even buy, oh, a dozen pair of shoes !
You can imagine my relief;
though I may buy a pair of shoes in the next month.
(No heels – I promise !)
But you know, really – how often when people
say something to us do we immediately focus on the
"what's wrong" of it rather than the "what's right" ?
Instead of taking things at face value and as an
opportunity to have a positive experience and outcome;
all too often we go to the defensive, get our blaming
finger out and begin pointing fingers with one hand
and building walls around ourselves with the other.
One of my favorite things to say when I hear the
negative reaction of another at something that
either myself or another may have said is;
" Is THAT how you took that ? "
Of course, it's far easier to do and say for others
because being on the outside looking in you can
more objectively see the "what was said" and
then see what the other person made it mean.
Very often there is a HUGE difference between
the intent of a message and the interpretation.
For example, you're going to go to dinner with your
significant other, and you see what they're wearing.
What you say is;
"Are you going to wear THAT tonight?"
(prepare yourself for a myriad of responses like the following)
"What do you mean? Don't you like it??
What's wrong with it ?!??
Does it make me look fat?!?!?
Why don't you ever like the way I look??
I can never make you happy can I ???
You don't even want to be seen with me,
and you just don't love me anymore – admit it…
You go out – I don't want to go anymore.
Maybe you'll find someone cuter out there who DOES look good.
You're such a jerk. Don't even come back.
I hate you… "
And the response to all of this is:
"It's supposed to really cool off tonight,
and I was worried you might get cold."
So let's do this.
I'm not going to paint my nails any time soon,
but I am going to be even more aware and open
to what others say to me.
And instead of jumping to conclusions,
I think I may start asking a few questions.
I think the best one would be;
"How did you mean that"
and perhaps even
"Why do you ask ?"
Heck, maybe you should try that today, too -
I think you may be very very surprised at
some of the responses you'll get.
And if you REALLY want to have fun with this -
pretend as if the person who said it to you
actually cared about you, liked you,
and wanted what's best for you.
And if some of you really really like challenges;
try "hearing" everything that is said to you
as something that could make your Life
even greater than it is now,
and be grateful it was said.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to do something manly,
like work on the car or drink the rest of the beer that's
been sitting in a glass for two days in the refrigerator.
Heck – maybe I'll drink the beer AND work on the car.
Because after that,
I might just buy shoes…
ps: There's really no beer in the fridge,
but I do have a bottle of raspberry sake on top of the fridge,
next to it a bottle of Chateau SteMichelle Gewurztraminer,
alongside the Columbia Valley Whistle Stop Red
Cabernet Merlot from Columbia Valley.
Why? Because I'm waiting for a Special Occasion…
All this talk of cookies & wine
is making me hungry for DESSERT!!!

Governments in Business
By Joseph E. Davies
(Members of the Federal Trade Commission)
[The Independent, November 24, 1917]
The economic significance of the Great War is, to my mind, preeminently, the fact that all of the belligerent nations and most of the neutrals have gone into business. War, it might be said, and state socialism, in some salient respects, are not unlike: both project governments into business. War socializes industry for the supreme purpose of saving the state itself; in other words, what perhaps hundreds of years of socialistic peaceful propaganda could not have accomplished in Europe, a few months, relatively, of war have served to bring about. Government function or control in all forms of productive industrial and commercial activity has been projected by the European war by practically all of the belligerent nations and by many neutrals.
It is not meant to infer that these conditions have come, necessarily, to remain. There will be very powerful forces at work tending to restore former individualistic conditions. Property will cease to be imprest with national need to the same vital extent and will again be valuable as an individualistic right. The heroic attitude of mind will subside and yield to practical considerations of living necessity. The men running these governmental activities are for the most part representatives of the industrial and capitalistic class who have been called in by governments to displace the old landed proprietors; and by reason of their training and outlook they might naturally be disposed to a resumption of the old order of things, tempered with broader outlook upon public need. And organised labor, which in stress of war has made great concessions, will probably insist upon the re-establishment of rights, it has taken years to establish; and it is easily conceivable that labor might object to permanent government control of industry, which would deprive organized labor of the advantage it now has in bargaining with capital for better hours and working conditions, for government ownership would make these matters dependent not upon contract between employers and employees but upon considerations of the general good, determined by government. Powerful forces are working toward the resumption of the old individualistic order in industry, in short; but there are great forces making for the retention of business activities by governments in times of peace. If governments are permanently to remain, or to attempt to remain, in business, it is doubtful whether the economic efficiencies now obtaining would persist after the stress of war necessities had subsided. Should these governmental activities obtain for any considerable length of time after the resumption of peace, however, the effect upon the commerce and industry of the world and indeed, even upon the peace of the world itself, would be far-reaching. Governments engaged upon large-scale productive industrial and commercial enterprizes, would, themselves, be rivals in world commerce, and the very combinations in industry known as international trusts, even, would yield to the competition of government monopolies.
No man can foretell what conditions will prevail in the future. But America should understand what the facts now are; for they are not speculative; they exist—and will be the basis of future conditions. In the warring nations two changes of serious and fundamental character seem to have occurred. (1) Property seems, temporarily at least, to have lost its individualistic character. Private rights have yielded to the needs of the state. (2) There seems to be complete acquiescence in the propriety of governments engaging in all-lines of enterprize and activity that were formerly the recognized field of individual effort.
In face of any great calamity private property, doubtless, takes on a communistic character. Men shipwrecked on a raft in mid-ocean have but little respect for private property; their necessities invest what food or other resources they have with a common right. Fires, earthquakes, have the same effect. And war, of course, is the greatest of national calamities. War needs have affected the psychology of whole nations. Hotels in London may be commandeered and peremptorily emptied for war purposes. Considerations of property right therein are thrust aside. In the war regions property has become hopelessly confused, and all this is taken as a matter of course; families of great wealth have made themselves destitute by giving what they had to the state or to war sufferers. The warring peoples, in short, are not thinking in terms of private property but in terms of national need and preservation. To an extraordinary degree private property has been imprest by public interest; and this fact will have much influence in the future, undoubtedly, upon the conceptions of society.
Modern war, in short, is a business—"a grim business," as the President said. Neither England, France, or any of the Allied Powers could sustain the present war without their remarkable industrial organization of munitions, foundries, shell factories, steel mills. The fact is, the European war is really a conflict between two of the most gigantic industrial undertakings the world has ever known.
Modern industry, thus, has become a part of modern war. So the warring states are running industrial enterprizes. They have to do so to win. And the result is, European industry is becoming socialized, on a gigantic scale. War, in a word, has completely revolutionized industry and upset all the hitherto, established relations between governments and business.
But how?
Let us note, in a few illustrative instances, just how.
Not much needs to be said about Germany. It is generally conceded that at the outbreak of the war Germany was best prepared for the fullest possible cooperation between industry and government. Her industrial preparation was no less remarkable than her military. Her railroads were state owned or regulated, laid out, planned, and operated, with consideration of national need. Thirty-eight per cent of all the financial requirements of the federated states of Germany in 1913 were met out of the profits of government-operated or government-owned enterprizes. Iron, coal, steel, chemical goods, textiles, leather, rubber, many other fundamentals of industry were closely syndicated thru cartels, which were in direct touch with central authority and immediately available for speedy and effective war mobilization. The war tended promptly to intensify further this centralization and control of industry by government, and the scientific and exacting degree of control, which in the emergency the German Government exercized over all processes of industry, whether of extraction, manufacture, or distribution, has been one of the marvels of the war. The German War Bureau, organized for taking over the control of all industrial works in the empire, with offices for production and distribution of fleet ordinance, munitions, war raw materials, factories, food supply, export and import and substitution service, was ready. The rapidity of the movement of troops over railroads, the remarkable degree in which the armies in the field have been supplied with equipment, munitions, big guns, all bespeak the extraordinary control that Germany projected over her industry by reason of these conditions.
England has taken over the operation of all the privately managed, railroads and they are now being run by the state. Duplication in service has been eliminated, the various competing systems have been articulated, and the result, it is said, is that England has transported the bulk of her troops and war supplies without cost while paying interest on the railroad bonds and some interest on the stock. War necessarily induces efficiencies; whether they will persist under ordinary peace conditions remains to be seen. Steel and munition factories covering square miles, built and manned entirely by the Government, are commonplace in England. Peat bogs have been transformed into communities devoted solely to the making of munitions. One of these is described as employing 16,000 workers in a plant 30-square miles in extent— a plant built with government workers, manned with government employees, housed in government houses, fed from government kitchens with government cooks preparing government food. Within eighteen months after the war had been declared 2500 factories employing 1,500,000 workers were being operated in England under government control. It is now stated that the number of factories so operated is far over 5000 and that no less than 7,000,000 men and women are employed under control of Government operation. But that is not all. The British Government is engaged in collective buying on a tremendous scale, just as the United States now is. Even the raw materials not subject directly to use in the manufacturing of munitions but necessary in the conduct of the war—hides, leather, glass, coal, many other articles—are under strict Government supervision. There are few important commodities, in short, the prices of which are not fixed by the English Government.
Italy is reported to be controlling and operating about 2500 plants employing about 3,000,000 workers. The situation in France is even more intensified. But there is not space here to tell, in detail, the miracles of change that have been wrought in Russia, which constructed about eighty grain elevators for the benefit of. its population; in Australia, where wheat crops were poolers by the Government and prices fixed thereon, where, in New South Wales state abattoirs, even, were, established and state bakers in the year 1915 made a profit of $30,000 tho reducing the price of bread four cents; where brick works, lime works, quarries, timber yards, clothing factories, have been taken over and operated by the state Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Spain, Norway, Denmark, have all projected governmental function into industry to an extent never dreamed of before. As to some commodities, even, not only has one government resorted to collective buying for its people and collective distribution, or selling, but several governments themselves have combined Italy, France and England, thus, established a joint commission for the purpose of buying sugar in the markets of the world, tho six or seven American refineries of raw cane sugar refrained from collective buying of the raw product and sought individually to meet this collective competition of the three governments. And now even this step has been passed by Mr. Hoover's collective purchasing for all the allies and our other efforts at similar collective buying in the metals, etc.
This remarkable new interpretation of public interest in industry, these remarkable experiments in industrial and commercial activities have been impelled by great national needs brought about by this extraordinary war. They are, of course, war measures. To what extent they may persist after the treaty of peace is a problem that is fraught with great significance to the character of future civilization.
There will be strong forces at work to retain these governmental activities. The simple startling fact that were the war to end today some of the belligerent nations could not, from ordinary sources of revenue such as taxation and tariffs, pay interest on their debts and current expenses, is evidence that resort must be had, in some measure, to governments going into business. Should the war last much longer the very inertia of these established institutions will tend to preserve them. The need of finding employment for large bodies of men returning from the front will naturally have a similar tendency. The stimulus of war necessity, the necessity of future industrial preparedness, will tend to make these efficiencies persist. There will be a disposition to refuse to give up the efficiencies in railroad management which these conditions have developed, and it will be only natural, if collective buying and distribution of food stuffs has materially reduced the cost of living to consumers for consumers to believe that in times of peace the same economies and efficiencies be conserved and that thereby the real wage of wage earners be increased.
What the future will develop is uncertain, of course. The facts suggested here, however, disclose great forces at work which will have great effect upon the governments projecting them. Certainly it is only by taking cognizance of these facts and forces, which are working alterations everywhere, here in America no less than in Europe, that the United States will be enabled to protect its interests and sustain its place in world industry and commerce.
The problem which the United States has to solve for democracy and for civilization is to retain the efficiencies that have been demonstrated and hold to the fundamental concept of cooperative democratic individualism, which alone will preserve industrial and political democracy for mankind.

A Novel of World War One
By J. Fred MacDonald

Matt. 6:25-34 Do not worry about your life, food or drink, clothing or tomorrow.
Luke12:22-28 Do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Luke 12:29 Do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink, do not worry about it.
John 6:27 Do not work for food that spoils, but food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
John 7:37 If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
You have blessed us with resources so we know we have food, drink and clothing. Many in war ravaged or diseased infested lands do not have it so well. And many right now in New York and New Jersey are struggling without power, food, water or gas and with their homes destroyed as a result of hurricane Sandy. It is much more difficult in these situations to trust You for our care. Or is it? Sometimes we feel closest to you when we need you the most.
Even with abundance we worry about what to wear (though we have plenty of clothes). We worry about the economy with the debt looming over our country. And we worry about minor physical problems, about the length of our life and the duration of good health. I know I do. I often worry about tomorrow!
Forgive me, Lord. Worry is a common human response to most anything. I think Jesus is saying our worry separates us from You. And much of what we worry about is in the future. To stay close to You we need to remain in the present rather than borrowing trouble by worrying about tomorrow. Help me remain in You and trust You completely.
Blessings, Dottie

When it comes to what we, as guests, want from a hotel, the list is long, and our expectations are, and should be, high. (Call me hard to please and I'm happy: because if I weren't, I wouldn't be doing a good job.) On that long list, what matters most is what comes first – long before we get into beds or bathrobes or breakfasts. It's the welcome we get. With it, hotel hosts make their first impression – something no one ever gets a second chance to do. So it's important that the welcome really does make us feel welcome. Saying the word is easy – but those who say it have to mean it, and that has to show.
"Welcome!" must be a genuine greeting, one that uses your name as soon as it's known (and with a little effort that could be before – or as soon as – you arrive). It should include eye-contact, and a smile that's sincere and sustained. And with it must come seamless service, which shows that your needs have been anticipated. Hotel staff who don't readily deliver this whole package, every time – and any who resent being expected to – should not be on the front line in the hospitality business. Ideally, guests arriving by car or taxi will have had their first warm greeting, smile and offer of service (valet parking, and/or help with luggage) long before they even reach the reception desk – in which case, the front line begins at, or even outside, the front door.
At reception, if time allows, nothing is more agreeable than being given a key and a check-in form to fill out and return at your leisure. Better still: an invitation to fill it in at a quiet table over a welcome drink – anything from fresh lemonade, to a properly made cup of tea. Hospitality that puts your needs first – what a winner! Key service questions (wake-up call? newspaper? dinner reservation?) need to be covered, too – in a tone of invitation, not interrogation. Validate your credit card, and you're good to go.
Personally, I am happy to be directed to my room and find my own way there – and find my luggage waiting for me – but if someone accompanies me, I really don't need a lengthy show-and-tell session. Indeed, does anyone? How hard can it be to work out which door is the wardrobe, which the bathroom and where the hairdryer's hidden? I can also figure out how to switch the TV on and off, or switch channels, and what's 'up' and what's 'down' on the heating and air-con control panel – can't you? What I'd rather be told – and surely it's far more important? – is the fastest route to the nearest fire exit. Frankly, I'm amazed that hotel staff don't do this as a matter of routine, when escorting guests to their room.
So – I'm in my room, my bags are, too. The next question is: Is the room welcoming? That's going to be the subject of my next blog. Watch this space!

Reviewed by Christopher Gauker, Universität Salzburg The purpose of this short book is to provide a semantic analysis of sentences of the form "X looks F to S". Breckenridge says that his purpose is to explain what it means for a visual experience to have a certain character (p. 7), but the focus is really on a semantic analysis. The example that Breckenridge works with throughout is the sentence, (1) The patch looks grey to you. The analysis that Breckenridge arrives at is, to a first approximation, this: (2) You have a visual experience of the patch that is occurring in way f(greyness, looking). (Here I... Read More

NERVOUS SYSTEM AND PRINCIPLES OF APPARATUS OPERATION (For those which do not have medical education)
The medical art appeared as not the fruit of theoretical reasons but,
on the contrary, people started thinking about theoretical
reasoning when methods of treatment had been already found.
A. Celsus, lil-ll B.C.
A disease, in fact, is informational disorder at different levels of
organization of physiologic systems, whereas maintaining the life
and health is, in fact, the controlled balance.
G.G.Gvidott, 1990
The nervous system ensures adaptation of the body to the external environment. Under the constantly changing conditions of existence the nervous system regulates the living activity of all tisВsues and organs, connects organs and parts of the body, ensures the feedback of the body relative to the requirements of the exterВnal environment (homeostatic and behavioral acts).
The nervous system unites the body into an integral system. All its multiple functions are performed by 40-45 billion of nerve cells — neurons. That is why, the name of apparatuses contain the comВponent В«neuroВ», which means "operating with the nervous system as the nervous system properВ».
Neurons possess the following unique abilities:
— store the copy of information in their memory (the ability of nerve cells to store information allows the human brain - frontal lobe - to store in the human memory all which took place during the entire life, the volume of this memory is such that it contains all genetic memory of ancestors.
Nerve cells are of different forms and sizes (from 5 to 10 microns). Each neuron has short processes (dendrites) and long processes (axon)
Receptors are endings of processes of sensitive nerve cells in the body which are evolutionary adapted for acceptance of certain stimulus from the external or internal environment and for transformation of its physical or chemical energy into the form of nerve excitation. All receptors which accept stimuli (signals) from the external environment relate to exteroreceptors; these acceptВing stimuli from muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments, to propri-oreceptors; from inner organs, to interoreceptors.
In the sensor system, signals are coded (ciphered) by the binary code, i.e. by availability or absence of the electric pulse in this or that period of time. Such method of coding is extremely simple and stable to interference. Information about the stimulus and its parameters is transferred in the form of single pulses as well in the form of groups, batches of pulses. The amplitude, duration and shape of each pulse are similar but the number of pulses in a batch, their repetition rate, duration of batches and interВvals between them, also the time pattern of the batch differs and depends on characteristics of the stimulus. The sensor informaВtion is also coded by the number of simultaneously excited neuВrons and by their location in the neuron layer. As distinct from teleВphone and television codes which are decoded by restoration of the initial form of a message, in the sensor system such type of decoding does not take place.
The entire nervous system is conventionally divided into two main sections — somatic sensor (animal) and vegetative (visceral).
The somatic sensor nervous system provides the skin and sensation organs with sensitive nerves, it is responsible for funcВtioning of the support-motor apparatus (bones, joints, muscles).
The vegetative nervous systems is responsible for regulaВtion of functioning of the cardiovascular system, respiratory organs, digestive apparatus, endocrine glands, urogenital organs, it also controls feeding of muscles

vegetative nervous system coordinates and adapts by the nerve and humoral way the activity of all organs, takes part in preservaВtion of the dynamic balance of living functions.
It seems that ancient eastern ideas about the balance of the body achieved as the results of the harmony of two opposite pheВnomena apparently can be considered as the dynamic stability of homeostasis of the body which is ensured due to the functioning of the vegetative nervous system (D.M. Tabaeva, 2001).
Functioning of somatic sensor, sympathetic and parasympa-Ihetic parts of the vegetative nervous system is effected with the help of the complex reflex activity aimed at self-regulating by the body of the stability of the internal environment.
Reflex, the response of the body to any stimulus, represents a functional units of the activity of the nervous system. The diagram of simplest reflex: "Stimulus — response*. However, as far as the human being is concerned, the reflex activity is the result of comВplex processing of information (see chapter 6). For the optimal reВsponse to the stimulus the control for the result of this response is necessary. This control is effected by a system which transfers from the executing organ (effector) to command centers information about the fulfillment of the command by the effector and whether the useful for the internal environment of the body results is obtained. At this, receptors accept not only the primary (reason) stimВulus but also the response to this stimulus. Availability of such conВtrol turns the reflex arch into the reflex ring via which nerve pulses are permanently circulating (direct link and feedback). This allows registration of any abnormality and making corrections. AccordВing to experimental data, during only 1 second nerve cells perВform 100 trillion elementary operations (the latest computer verВsion is capable of making only one billion).
Due to the constant instantaneous receiving of information from the outside and from all organs and tissues of the body as well as due to quick processing of this information the nervous system every second regulates the functioning state of all organs and sysВtems by increasing or decreasing their functional activity to the optimum level in order to maintain stability of the internal systems of the body.
For example, in case of an increase in the body temperature due to external (hot weather) or internal (infection) reasons the body with normal adaptive abilities will not overheat. The mechВanism of this phenomenon is as follows. Interoreceptors regisВter the limit increase in the internal temperature which is dangerous for the human body. Information thereabout, in the form of electric pulses, via afferent paths goes to the central nervous system

I've read and enjoyed Mister Cizak's short stories. His collection Crooked Roads is impressive, and I've looked forward to his longer work. Down On The Street doesn't disappoint.
Lester Banks is barely breaking even, working long hours driving a cab, abused by his employer, passengers, the world itself. He's not enjoying much in his life.
An unlikely hook-up with an attractive neighbor gets Lester thinking about a way out of his rut. It works, for a while.
Mister Cizak's writing is lean and to the point. He gives the reader a story without any fluff or filler.
You can't go wrong with this guy.

Daily Didactic
Our morning began at a KOA far enough off of the interstate that we couldn't hear it, which is always a bonus. We climbed back onto the Ohio Turnpike and jetted in the direction of Chicago, which unfortunately lies directly between where we woke up and where we will sleep tonight. Not that Chicago doesn't look like a swell place to visit and spend some time, but we don't intend to this trip. We did our best to look out the side windows on the turnpike and it turns out there are is some very nice farmland scenery, sadly close to a major freeway. There is also a lot of another eastern turnpike phenomenon, the Travel Center. If you create a toll road and charge drivers to get on and off the highway, you can then create little "free" pullouts with one gas station, one fast food restaurant, one convenience store, and one random store. These "Travel Centers" (although the name varies by state) are run by concessionaires and the prices are like airports. We stopped at as many as possible to play along.Ohio blended into Indiana, which eventually blended into Illinois. The Illinois border (and really Gary, Indiana east of the border), is for all practical purposes East Chicago. We had intended to take the toll road around Chicago, but as soon as we got through the toll booth we could see traffic was backed up to the state line. Being very comfortable with our knowledge of downtown Chicago, we dove off of the turnpike, onto Highway 41 which leads to Lakeshore Drive through the heart of Chicago. It turned out to be a lucky necessity, the drive provided excellent tourist viewing material and wasn't too much of a brain teaser. An hour or so later we broke out the other side of Chicago and crossed into Indiana. We hooked a left on Highway 50 and headed the half hour to our friends Joey and Anissa's. The four of us tought together in Anchorage when we were all new teachers and they eventually moved back to the midwest to be closer to family, taking up residence in Lake Geneva. It is a treat to see them again, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner off the grill and a nice walk along the shores of Lake Geneva before calling it a very pleasant evening.

Nine detained for converting from Islam to Christianity
"Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
– Psalm 12:5 [NIV]
Yemeni police have detained at least nine people for converting from Islam to Christianity, a security official has admitted. The nine were arrested between May and early August and remain in police custody, said the official.
Converting from Islam to any other religion is illegal in Yemen and can be punishable by death. But in previous cases, those arrested are usually released after they revoke their new faith and pledge to return to Islam.
Three of the nine were detained in the capital, San'a, said the official, but he declined to provide details about the others. A family member of one of the detainees said he fears those arrested could face torture or abuse in prison. He said that Hani el-Dahayni, 30, was detained in May after police stormed his office and confiscated computers and compact discs.
Mansour Hayel, vice president of the Omar al-Gawi Political Forum that advocates for human rights and civil liberties in Yemen, blamed the arrests on the growing influence of extremist Muslim groups in Yemen.
Source: Assist News / International Christian Concern
Prayer points:
- Ask God to give strength and endurance to the nine prisoners and their families
- Pray for their protection and swift release
- Pray that God would prosper the work of those working for religious freedom in Yemen
Update on Christian girls kidnapped in Pakistan
The custody battle over Saba and Aneela Younis, who were allegedly forced to convert to Islam, remained inconclusive after a hearing on 20 August, with rights advocates for the family suspecting Muslim fundamentalists of pressuring the minors and a medical board. The next hearing has been set for 9 September. For the latest information see www.opendoorsuk.org/news.

By Charles Dickens
'What was once merry Christmas to Scrooge? Out upon merry Christmas! What solid had it ever performed to him?'Ebenezer Scrooge is a bad-tempered skinflint who hates Christmas and all it stands for, yet a ghostly customer foretells 3 apparitions who will thaw Scrooge's frozen middle. A Christmas Carol has gripped the general public mind's eye because it was once first released in 1843, and it really is now as a lot part of Christmas as mistletoe or plum pudding. This version reprints the tale along Dickens's 4 different Christmas Books: The Chimes, The Cricket at the fire, The conflict of lifestyles, and The Haunted guy. All 5 tales convey Dickens at his unpredictable top, jumbling jointly comedy and melodrama, genial romance and pressing social satire, in pursuit of his goal 'to wake up a few loving and forbearing recommendations, by no means out of season in a Christian land'.
