Aurora Borealis
Aurora, Marion County, Oregon
[LCCN: sn96088477]
In 1856, a Prussian-born German tailor named Wilhelm Keil arrived in the Willamette Valley. Keil hoped to establish a utopian, communal society. He first established a colony in Bethel, Missouri, but felt threatened by secular society there. So he sent scouts to the Pacific Northwest to find another location for his ideal community. Keil traveled with church members to a location along the Willapa River. However, he considered the area to be too isolated.
Hearing about a location 25 miles south, Keil and his church members headed to the destination, where they would settle. It would become the Aurora Colony, named after Keil's daughter. In 1866, Keil gave up control of the Aurora Colony to a group of trustees who created the "Articles of Agreement," the constitution for the colony. In 1877, upon Keil's death, the colony was slowly disbanded—officially in 1883, and with official incorporation in 1893.
It was in this small town, nestled halfway between Salem and Portland, that the Aurora Borealis [LCCN: sn96088477] would be established. In 1900, Herbert L. Gill, a well-known Oregon newspaperman, founded the Borealis. The newspaper had a six-column, four-page layout. It would be published weekly on Saturdays, selling for $1 for a yearlong subscription and $0.50 for a six-month subscription. By 1908, the Borealis started to lose subscribers. It published its last article in December 1908.
The Borealis began with Gill, along with H. A. Snyder as associate editor. Then, in 1906, the paper switched hands, with Sigward Nelson taking on both publishing and editing duties. In 1908, Dixon and Hoskinson took over as proprietors for the newspaper. Previous to the birth of the Borealis, the town of Aurora had a one-third stake in a paper called the Three Sisters [LCCN: sn96088299], which provided news to Aurora, Barlow, and Canby. Upon its discontinuation, Gill established another paper in 1911, the Aurora Observer [LCCN: sn96088478], which ran until 1940.
The Borealis featured articles on a range of topics, especially politics. The paper produced extensive coverage of the 1908 presidential election between William H. Taft and William J. Bryan. It also covered events at international, national, and local levels, with weekly sections such as "Items Gathered from All Parts of the World," "News Items of General Interest from the State of Oregon," and "Personal and Local." Additionally, it presented agricultural tips in the "Farm and Garden" section.

JT To Recieve 2015 iHeartRadio Innovator Award
NEW YORK, N.Y. and UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – March 16, 2015 – The iHeartRadio Music Awards will honor Justin Timberlake with its most prestigious award of the evening, the 2015 iHeartRadio Innovator Award. The event will feature the biggest names in entertainment, bringing the music of the iHeartRadio app to life on Sunday, March 29 live on NBC from 8-11 p.m. ET/PT from the historic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and hosted by Oscar and Grammy award winning actor and musician, who will also perform at the awards, Jamie Foxx. The iHeartRadio Music Awards will broadcast simultaneously on iHeartMedia stations nationwide and across the iHeartRadio digital music platform.
Only a handful of musicians in history have transcended all artistic boundaries, whether through music collaborations, acting, comedy, variety, putting together one of the biggest albums in recent history or staging the biggest and most technically ambitious tour of the last 2 years. iHeartRadio will honor Grammy and Emmy award winning artist Justin Timberlake for his unparalleled position in the entertainment world and will pay tribute to his significant contributions to the music industry.
Timberlake swept the 2014 Billboard Music Awards taking home seven Awards including Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Album and Top Billboard 200 Album. He also has received three People's Choice Awards, three GRAMMY Awards, three ASCAP Awards, a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award and a Radio Disney Music Award. These awards bring his grand total of awards to 25 for The 20\20 Experience – The Complete Experience since it was released in March 2013.
The 20\20 Experience – The Complete Experience has been critically well received and was the best-selling album worldwide in 2013. To date it has sold more than 5 million albums and 15 million tracks. The album celebrates Timberlake as the highest debut for a male artist in the last six years. The album held the No. 1 spot in both the Top 200 (three weeks) and R&B album chart (10 weeks). He is one of the most followed people in the world on social media with a total of more than 95 million followers across all his platforms.
His extensive entertainment career also includes many film credits such as Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis; Clint Eastwood's Trouble with the Curve; Will Gluck's Friends with Benefits; Jake Kasdan's comedy Bad Teacher; In Time, directed by Andrew Niccol; crime drama Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan writer-director Craig Brewer's follow up to his Sundance hit Hustle & Flow. The four-time Emmy Award winner has also hosted five memorable episodes of "Saturday Night Live" and several of his sketches have become viral video sensations, including "D**k in a Box," which not only has been viewed over 100 million times on YouTube but earned Timberlake his first Emmy Award. He won a second Emmy Award in 2009 for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for hosting "SNL."
"Justin is one of the most dynamic artists of our lifetime, a visionary whose influence on pop culture starts with brilliant music and stretches well beyond," said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for iHeartMedia. "I'm amazed how he regularly breaks barriers that continue to shape and define music trends. We're thrilled to recognize him amongst his peers — who also proudly call themselves his fans."
"From day one, Justin has been a step ahead; in fact, he refuses to play it safe," said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia, Inc. "And even given all his success to date, I think he is only at the beginning of one of the great careers in entertainment."
"Justin is the World's undisputed 360-degree entertainer. Put simply, he's 'The Man.' We are delighted to give him the honor he deserves," Ian Stewart, President, Done + Dusted.
The three-hour telecast will truly reflect America's favorite music and will showcase the year's most popular artists and songs determined by the iHeartRadio Chart and fan voting through iHeartRadio stations nationwide.

Late summer means baseball is still going on, and you can catch some great action on the diamond while you're here staying in a beach house Charleston.
The Holy City has its own team, the RiverDogs, a Single-A Sally league team that's (rather ironically) part of the Yankees. Here is a fun fact: the team is co-owned by none other than the Saturday Night Live alum and movie icon, Bill Murray, whose official title is, appropriately, "Director of Fun."
As you might imagine, this isn't just any team, ballpark, or milieu. The RiverDogs are known for their zany promotions as well as for their creative cuisine – no wonder, in a city that's increasingly become known as a global foodie destination.
After all, watching America's pastime is just a wholesome, very fun way to spend an afternoon or evening. It's got something for everyone staying in your Charleston beach house, and is a fun outing to the peninsula when you're here in one of our SC vacation rentals.
The RiverDogs play at "The Joe," Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, named after Charleston's beloved former mayor who served 40 years (!). It's an easy drive to all our luxury beach house rentals SC, be they Isle of Palms vacation rentals or a Folly Beach house Charleston. If you're in a luxury house on Isle of Palms, head to Highway 17 and take it all the way onto the peninsula and the Crosstown, and turn right onto Lockwood. If you're in Folly Beach rentals Charleston, cross the Ashley onto the peninsula and turn onto Lockwood, then head left. You can't miss it. It's located over toward the Citadel.
Not long ago it was announced that they'll be making the already cool ballpark even cooler, by adding a $3 million, 6,000 square foot club level. This announcement coincides with what will be the 20th anniversary of the Joe. It will be ready for banquets, weddings and special events beginning in February 2017, prior to the opening of baseball season. Here's the whole scoop: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20160310/PC20/160319947
The RiverDogs' promotions are really a hoot, and one of the funniest is happening tonight – quite appropriately on a Tuesday – August 23rd , when the RiverDogs will take on the Columbia Fireflies.
It's "Bobbl'ection 2016 — Fans can also mark their calendars as the RiverDogs play host to the democratic process with the fourth rendition of the Bobbl'ection. Heading to the polls has never been more fun. Get to the gates early to "vote" for either the Democrat or Republican candidate. Five hundred bobbleheads will be available for both sides and the first group to run out will be declared the winner."
In other words, they will have 500 bobbleheads each of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump available at the front gate. Fans will have a choice of either one. Dave Echols, GM and prez of the RiverDogs, explains it this way: "In effect, you come through the gate and you say, 'I want Trump,' or 'I want Hillary,' and we give it to you. Then, the first (bobblehead) that (runs) out is declared the winner."
They have been doing this promotion ever since 2004, so this will be the fourth installment.
And get this — the fans at the Joe have never been wrong in predicting the presidential winner.
There is a new wrinkle in this year's Bobbl'ection, though. For the first time ever, there will be a third option. If you don't want either bobblehead, you can opt instead for a raffle ticket and a chance to win the grand prize – a free airlines voucher for a plane ticket. As Echols puts it, "So if you don't want to make America great again or you don't quite believe the emails scandal, you can choose to get a one-way flight out of the country."
Here's more on Bobbl'ection 2016: http://www.postandcourier.com/20160822/160829805/clinton-or-trump-riverdogs-holding-bobblection-at-the-joe-on-tuesday-

Ballpark eats near your beach house Charleston
Now, about the ballpark food. Here's an article that Hanna Raskin, the Post & Courier's intrepid food writer, did this spring on some of what you can find to nosh on at The Joe: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150401/PC1206/150409989&source=RSS
When you're staying in one of our beach house rentals Charleston SC, like one of our Isle of Palms luxury rentals, you've gotta feed everyone. Why not do it creatively while also taking in a live version of America's favorite pastime and the greatest show on dirt?
Go, RiverDogs!

I'm having an odd problem. I have a server process that gets started with nohup, and persists across logout and re-login just fine. However if I leave myself logged in and then get the "broken pipe" message because my laptop went to sleep I come back to find that the process stopped at approximately the time my laptop went to sleep (hard to verify exactly when that was though). This happens even if I have logged out and logged back in since starting the process.
Why does this happen? I had thought nohup meant it would ignore SIGHUP? Is some other signal being sent? I am aware of screen, but is there a way to avoid this without resorting to running things in screen (which was the previous solution we just moved away from)?
The command in the script that starts the process looks like this...
nohup attivio -cmd start -nodump -project="$ATTIVIO_PROJECT" -node $NODENAME $ATTIVIO_ARGS foo.xml 2>&1 > $LOG_DIR/attivio.console.log &
The script was invoked like this:
source bin/start.sh

Doha-headquartered telecom provider Ooredoo (erstwhile Qatar Telecom or QTel) has formed a 50-50 joint venture (JV) with German e-commerce incubator-cum-investor Rocket Internet to create and develop businesses across online retail, marketplaces and payment services in Asia.
Christened Asia Internet Holdings, the new entity will cover 15 markets in Asia that include Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Australia. The JV is expected to start operations in the second quarter of 2014.
"A fundamental shift is happening across our markets as more people buy goods and services online through their mobile phones. This is even more evident in our Asian footprint. We look forward to harnessing Rocket Internet's knowledge and experience gained elsewhere into making our joint venture an ecommerce market leader across Asia," said Nasser Marafih, CEO of Ooredoo Group.
"Our partnership will accelerate the development of Asia Internet Holding in the region and help our businesses succeed. We want to bring ecommerce models that have worked well elsewhere in the world to Asia," Oliver Samwer, co-founder of Rocket Internet, said.
Last December, Rocket Internet had formed a JV with MTN Group, a South Africa-based mobile telecommunications company, to extend online retail and other essential digital services in the Middle East region.
Founded in 2007 by the Samwer brothers (Marc, Oliver and Alexander), Rocket Internet already has a sizable presence in Asia, including India. The Indian ventures backed by Rocket Internet include Jabong, FabFurnish, PrintVenue and FoodPanda. Last July, Rocket Internet had raised $500 million in a fresh round of funding led by Investment AB Kinnevik and Access Industries.

U.S. employees reported lower levels of confidence in the state of the economy and job market in October, with the Randstad U.S. Employee Confidence Index dipping 4.2 points to 51.5. The data, which was collected between October 8-10, reflects the attitudes and perceptions of employees during the government shutdown.
The Randstad Employment Tracker was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad and included 1,032 employed U.S. adults ages 18 and older.
Despite Shutdown & Debt Ceiling Fight, Workers Confident in Employers and Ability to Job Hunt
"Given the government shutdown and the fight over the debt ceiling, it comes as no surprise that employee confidence is being affected," said Jim Link, Chief HR Officer, North America, at Randstad. "However, what we did find interesting was the increase in personal confidence, specifically in workers' outlook on the future of their employer and in their ability to find new jobs. This may be explained by the fact that, in spite of the furlough of 400,000 government employees, the vast majority of workers did not experience a direct impact from the shutdown.
Full Effect of Shutdown Still Uncertain
"With the jobs report likely being distorted over the next few months, it may take some time to regain a sense of normalcy. Many economists have noted other indices such as confidence levels, retail hiring, data on the housing market and consumer spending, will likely carry even greater weight to gauge the full effect of recent governmental activity," Link added.

Paryaya is a religious ritual which takes place every alternate year in Krishna Matha (Krishna Temple) of Udupi. The puja and administration of Krishna Matha is distributed among the Swamijis of Ashta Matha's established by Dvaita philosopher Sri Madhvacharya. Each swamiji of every matha gets chance to perform puja to Udupi Sri Krishna by rotation for a period of two years. During paryaya, the puja and administration of Krishna Matha is handed over from Swamiji of one of Ashta Matha to the Swamiji of another Ashta Matha. It takes place every two years in even numbered years.
Before ascending throne of Sarvajna peetha, rituals are initiated one year before paryaya by the ascending Swamiji. Main among them are Bale (Banana) Muhurtha, Akki (Rice) Muhurta, Kattige (Fire wood) Muhurtha and Batha (Paddy) Muhurta.
First, Bale Muhurta is performed, one year prior to the Paryaya by the ascending Swamiji. In Bale Muhurta, banana or plantain saplings are planted along with tulasi to meet the needs to Krishna puja and for feeding of devotees. After that, Akki Muhurtha is performed, where rice is stored in Mudi . Around 48 Mudis are stored on Akki Muhurtha. Kattige Muhurtha follows Akki Muhurtha. Firewood is stored in the form of ratha for future use during Paryaya. The firewood stored is used for cooking prasada and feeding devotees who come to Krishna Matha during the two years of Paryaya. Batha Muhurtha is performed after Kattige Muhurtha. Batha is stored for meeting future requirements within premises of Sri Krishna Matha. All these muhurthas are done on auspicious days with offering to Chandreshwara, Ananteshwara and Sri Krishna deities. These are done for smooth running of the Paryaya.
Sri Sri Vidyavallabha Tirtha Swamiji – Kaniyooru Matha will preside the paryaya festival.

ESA's Storm Hunter7 Jun 2018, 13:00 UTC
ESA dixit:
"The Space Storm Hunter, also known as the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor, completed its trip to space in a Dragon cargo vehicle in April 2018. This video shows the different stages of that voyage, from launch to installation on the International Space Station. The suite of instruments rode in the Dragon cargo vehicle that was launched on 2 April from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
After orbiting Earth for two days, Dragon positioned itself below the Station for capture. ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen played a crucial role at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston as lead 'capcom' during Dragon's rendezvous and berthing. Operators on Earth commanded the International Space Station's 16-m long robotic arm to move the 314-kg facility from the Dragon spacecraft's cargo hold to its place of operation on Europe's Columbus laboratory on 13 April.
It is the first time that such a set of sensitive cameras, light sensors and X- and gamma-ray detectors will study the anatomy of luminous phenomena in Earth's upper atmosphere and bursts of high-energy radiation. Data from this observatory will improve our understanding of the effect of thunderstorms on the atmosphere and contribute to more accurate climate models."

The sun finally made an appearance on day three, when the All-Mountain Front (AMF) and All-Mountain Back (AMB) skis we'd dabbled on the past two days reemerged for testers' full attention. The meatiest and most popular categories, we maintained our all-mountain breakdown from last season because of the breadth of waist widths offered.
With some overlap, AMF skis come in at 85–95 mm underfoot and are built to be able to carve and cruise into mixed snow conditions and terrain when the mood strikes. The 90–106 mm-waisted AMB category removes almost all piste limitations, and testers appeared to have no problems in the cut-up powder and even the deepest snow as new terrain openings and first tracks offered up a double dip powder day.
While you'll have to wait to get the specifics, we will share one consensus gleaned from the tester debrief: skiers are in for a hell of a 2015/2016 ski season with the gear coming their way.

Cologne. Sharing economy provider kilenda is counted among those nominated for this year's German Sustainability Award in the KMU category (small and medium-sized companies). With its business model – the hiring of children's clothing and all the basic equipment for children up to the age of three, apart from maternity wear and baby carriers – kilenda now has the opportunity to convince the specialist jury, chaired by Prof Dr Günther Bachmann, General Secretary of the German Council for Sustainable Development, and to be distinguished as "Germany's most sustainable company
"The nomination for the German Sustainability Award makes us very proud, as it shows that our idea is being well-received," says Hendrik Scheuschner, founder of kilenda and Managing Director of Relenda GmbH, a subsidiary company of environmental services provider Interseroh. "Of course, we would be particularly thrilled with the distinction of being Germany's most sustainable company! We want to encourage even more people to shape their consumption in a more conscious and environmentally-friendly way."
The German Sustainability Award acknowledges those companies which, through their products and services, are particularly successful in facing ecological and social challenges and which, in doing so, use sustainability as a business opportunity. In autumn, the jury will select the Top 3, as well as the winner. The award will be presented on 7th December 2018 in Düsseldorf.
The kilenda system is really simple: there is a large range of good-quality, durable children's clothing in different sizes, maternity wear, baby carriers and all the basic equipment for children up to the age of three available to hire at www.kilenda.de. Once used, customers return the hired items or replace them with other or larger items. Thus the use of individual items is extended for as long as possible.
Consequently, less new items of clothing have to be produced, which measurably reduces the ecological footprint. To this day, kilenda has saved roughly 370 million litres of water and 184 thousand tonnes of CO2 by hiring out children's clothing. The model is convincing more and more people: kilenda initially had 100 customers in 2015, today it's already 4,000. kilenda is a trademark that belongs to the Interseroh subsidiary Relenda GmbH.

THE UNRELATED SEGMENTS - 'Story Of My Life' / 'It's Unfair' (HBR -514) Feb 1967
A group of teenagers (still in High School) from Michigan got together and formed a band. They named themselves The Unrelated Segments after guitarist John Torock heard the wording in his micro-economics class.
Within weeks they had cut several songs at United Sound Studios and a few months later in February 1967 this sought after 45 on HBR was released. 'Story Of My Life' was the top side and it became a hit in several American markets including Michigan and Ohio. In Toledo it reached number 3.
I've always thought 'Story Of My Life' was a little dull and pedestrian so I've uploaded the flip 'It's Unfair' instead.

The Radio Network (TRN) says personalities are at the heart of its drive into internet radio, after launching a new iHeartRadio show with ZM breakfast hosts Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama.
The network is embracing technologies that were meant to be the death knell for radio and is growing its terrestrial listener base in parallel, says chief content officer Dean Buchanan.
"What we're seeing with all consumers now is the growth of digital," says Buchanan. "People want access to their favourite content how they want it, when they want it.
"The idea behind the Polly and Grant Show is they have such a large following and Polly is considered one of the best interviewers of the stars, but she's limited to 6-10am on weekdays. iHeartRadio takes all those historical strengths of radio, the fact it's free and portable, but means you can hear it any time you want."
Gillespie's social media following played a part in her appointment to the new show, TRN says. She has over 86,000 Facebook likes and 16453 Twitter followers.
"Being in contact with listeners and readers is now 24/7," says Gillespie. "There is no switching off, no closing time and no set hours for listening. It's an on-demand world and we must be on demand everywhere."
The show will include music and Gillespie's celebrity interviews that will be played on other TRN stations. Elements of the pair's new show will air on the network's other stations ZB and Classic Hits.
TRN might consider other internet-based shows for its big names, Buchanan says. "It's a very different model — in traditional radio, talent is just on one brand. We get a very different response from audiences. They just love the content and the person."
He cited the example of The Crowd Goes Wild hosts Andrew Mulligand and Mark Richardson, whose brand transcends content platforms.
The network has had good traction from the iHeartRadio stations it created last October, teen-focused Ultimate Access and Rock Anthems, Buchanan says. He adds the high rate of radio streaming in the US has increased listenership of terrestrial stations and TRN is starting to see the same patterns in New Zealand.
TRN announced the beta version of the digital radio service here last August, followed last September by the app. The platform now has over 105,000 registered users in New Zealand and more than 120,000 have downloaded the app, Buchanan says.
Growing its international audience is a secondary benefit of iHeartRadio shows, says Buchanan. "We have a lot of expat listeners and that's one of the great things about the internet. When you did your OE 20 years ago you had to write a letter home and it was too expensive to call home unless you called collect. Now it's cheap to go overseas and you can listen to the radio for free on your smartphone.
"A lot of our overseas listeners love particular personalities and they also love the brand."
However, he says most TRN advertisers target domestic listeners.
The network plans more iheartradio concerts this year, having previously featured artists like Lorde, Stan Walker and Jessica Mauboy.
