Confederate Partisan Ranger Activity : A
27 page paper discussing the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the Confederacy during
the Civil War. Independent of stringent military control, most were led by men of
integrity but other units used the war to indulge in theft and murder. In the end, some
historians believe that partisan ranger activity prolonged the war; others believe that it
could have prolonged the war to the extent that the South could have won. Whether viewed
favorably or not, whether militarily effective or not, those Confederate rangers of
integrity and constancy of purpose performed incalculable service for those left at home
for the duration of the war. Their stories give a human touch to the history that so
easily could be reduced these 130 years later to a listing of statistics and of the dates
at which irrefutable changes were made in the course of the country. Bibliography lists 27

? : In this well-written 12 page paper, the writer examines the life and service
of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. For the most part, the research is concerned with
whether or not his decision to leave the U.S. military and join the Confederate Army was
based upon character & principle or just selfish ignorance and loyalty to a

great character who stood by what he believed in and made the best choice possible. An
excellent Civil War study. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Generlee.wps
Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg : A 25 page
paper discussing some of General Lees decisions and the relationships with his
generals surrounding the Gettysburg campaign. Robert E. Lee was elevated to near-deity
status both during and after the Civil War, but some of his more human qualities have come
to light in recent years. General Longstreet was maligned for years as the reason for the
failure of the Confederate army at Gettysburg, but he has been relieved of this
distinction as other details surrounding the Gettysburg series of battles have been
discovered. While there is no doubt that General Lee was a charismatic leader of fighting
men, there is increasing evidence that he did not take full advantage of counsel of his
generals that possibly could have prevented the devastating losses of both the Union and
Confederate sides at Gettysburg. Bibliography lists 26 sources in 45 footnotes. Gettylee.wps
Grant's Civil War Strategy : A 10 page
paper that describes Grant's strategies in the Civil War. The writer presents the theory

and could have cost the Union victory. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Grantwar.wps

Secession / Precursor to War :
Scholars may argue forever over the legality of secession, but the fact is that before the
Civil War the vast majority of Americans believed in the dictum set forth in the
Declaration of Independence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of
the governed, and that forcing the South to remain in the Union was therefore tyrannical
and immoral This 10 page paper presents the argument that the secession was a result of
three major political influences. The issue of States Rights, slavery and the political
agenda presented in the person of Abraham Lincoln. Although the first two were the
presenting problems, the election of Lincoln was the deciding factor to secession.

The Lincoln Assassination / Booth Was Not Alone
: An 8 page research paper supporting the theory that John Wilkes Booth did not work
alone when he assassinated President Lincoln. The writer connects Booth to a group of
conspirators who planned to assassinate Lincoln, Secretary of State Seward, and even the
Vice President. By developing this connection and relating these individuals to
interactions with Jefferson Davis, the writer suggests that Booth did not mastermind the
assassination plans. Instead, Davis and members of the Southern political climate planned
and supported the conspiracy that Booth only enacted. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Lincoln.wps
Lincoln Would Have Changed the Face of Civil
Rights : A 5 page piece that postulates that if Abraham Lincoln had lived, his
Reconstruction policies may have changed the course of African American history. Lincoln
had already penned his notes on Reconstruction that Andrew Johnson implemented. However,
Johnson, sympathetic to the South, did not subscribe to Lincolns tenets of
"equal rights" for all. As a result, freed African Americans continued to suffer
under the hands of their former owners. According to historians, Lincoln would have used
any extreme, including force and marshall law to bring about equality for all, as
supported by his writings. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Lincoln2.wps

Emancipation Proclamation : An 8 page
paper detailing many of the events that took place in the development of the Emancipation
Proclamation of 1863. Lincoln was not actually in favor of the federal government becoming
involved in the abolishing of slavery. He had hopes that the individual states would make
an effort on their own and this would eventually influence the South. After some time this
was obviously not to become a reality and he was forced to take a more aggressive action.
This action became concrete with the Emancipation Proclamation. Extensive bibliography

The Emancipation Proclamation & Plessy v.
Ferguson : A 5 page paper discussing the potential problems generated by the
issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The writer argues that Lincoln released the
paper as an interventional measure to try and ensure that slavery was stopped without
changing the inalienable rights of all U.S. citizens provided by the Constitution. His
attempt was ambiguous and unsuccessful, however. On the other hand, it may be the
Declaration of Independence that promoted the idea of separate rights for separate races
and genders that still afflicts equality in America. The debate continues.... Bibliography

Before reading on please have a look at the Federgraph formula.
I will start over with the description of the Federgraph app. Previous content has moved to this page.
The new development has been that the evaluation of the formula has moved from the CPU to the GPU. This means that some features are no longer available in the new version of the app. On the positive side, it is now much faster and more flexible. Before, I needed to compile a new version of the app to plot a new formula, which is of course a big limitation for the end user who cannot recompile. Now it is possible to load, edit, compile and upload shader code at runtime. On Windows 10 the shader compiler for hlsl is available as part of the operating system. On Mac the glsl compiler is part of the graphics driver.
The current version of the app for iPad has been temporarily removed from the store. I will focus on the desktop version for some time. Federgraph is still a single source, cross-platform project. The Windows 10 version will be supplied using the Centennial Bridge and be given permission by Microsoft to run full trust. You can be sure that this application does not access your contacts, images, or spy on you. The version for Mac App Store will be sandboxed and show the required permissions. The app will need to show a file open or file save dialog where you can select a file for loading or storing. It does not see what other files there are in the documents folder. Dragging a file onto the drop target is similar to showing an open dialog. They call it getting the user consent to open a file.
Obviously for this kind of app there is a lot more to say and explain. I will try and do this by writing blog posts, not here at the static web site.
I am pleased how fast the application feels on my new Surface Pro, and on my Windows Desktop which I have upgraded last year with an GTX 950 card. If you play 3D computer games - which I never did - you know that this is not the most expensive one. I had to deal with the Warp driver so far, which emulates the GPU. This is still possible but slow compared to running on hardware. I am happy about the new version of the app. The other branch where function evaluation is done on the CPU is also maintained, but will not be made available via the store.
I hope that this time some of you will do more with the published application. Show me what you have done so far. The best way to contact me is through the social network. You could comment on one of the old pictures I have posted. There is a lot of free space. To write about the features of the app will take some time. You should start by looking at the examples. Don't be afraid to ask a question not yet asked and give me some time to respond. There is a lot of work to do, so much that I cannot do it all. Some work I cannot do because I am not qualified enough. You see, I am not a mathematician, and I will never be. Neither am I an expert in 3D Graphics. I have just taken the lead nonetheless because I have a clear understanding of what the driving application should do, and how - in principle. Now, I think that makes it clear what kind of questions I like to answer, or in what area I am interested to work with you.
If you have a fast machine - you should have fun with the Federgraph app. Enjoy!

Ms Phyllis ate some oysters,
And poor Ms Phyllis died,
Apparently, the oysters,
Had poisoned her insides.
Ms Phyllis went to heaven,
As all good ladies do,
And started making plans,
For her Albert's coming, too.
She could hardly wait to show him,
Heaven's banquet hall of gold,
Where all the oysters one might wish,
Were served both hot an cold.
One night, while eating oysters,
In the golden banquet hall,
She met another oyster eater,
Who, as she, loved oysters most of all.
Recognizing mutual interests,
The two became fast friends,
Both had died from poisoned oysters.
But now they ate them without end.
Ms Anne, the younger of the two,
Had come from Delaware,
"My, what a small world," said Ms Phyllis,
"My husband came from there."
Ms Anne said she had married young,
At sixteen she fell in love,
Hers was a marriage made in heaven,
Blest by the Lord above.
And then she went on to tell,
How she broke her husband's heart,
How hard he cried, the day she died,
When poisoned oysters tore them apart.
Ms Phyllis offered sympathy,
And showed Ms Anne she cared,
She hugged her in the banquet hall,
So glad she'd met her there.
"I first met Albert, in my thirty's,"
Ms Phyllis shared her life's events,
"Albert!" squealed Ms Anne.
"My! What a coincidence!"
"How strange ... my dear husband's name ,
Indeed, was Albert, too,
You and I have much in common,
Besides our love for oyster stew."
Ms Phyllis and Ms Anne both laughed,
As each took another dish
Each had a husband name of Albert,
And all the oysters they could wish,
Well, to make this story short,
As you have surely guessed,
Both Alberts were one and the same,
So who would claim him at his death?
Well, since the ladies were in heaven,
And now enriched with holy traits,
Each offered Albert to the other,
To be her heavenly mate.
Ms Anne said, "I will give him up,"
"Oh no you won't, my dear,"
Ms Phyllis answered, in rebuff,
"That, I will not hear."
Their controversy grew,
All heaven was aghast,
Even angels started waging bets,
On who'd get Albert last.
Ms Phyllis said, "He's yours, my dear,
Ms Anne said, "No, I'm giving him to you."
Meanwhile, Albert down on earth,
Was brewing up more oyster stew.
Not knowing and unmindful,
Of the happenings above,
Albert found wife Number Three,
Who, too, had an oyster love.
Now, if the truth be known,
And one's not shocked to hear this news,
Albert always hated oysters,
And he added Arsenic to his stews.
And God, who is all-knowing,
Admonished Ms Phyllis and Ms Anne,
"Ladies, stop your fussing,
You don't know my final plans."
"So, ladies, eat your oysters,
And enjoy Eternity ,
Don't concern yourselves with Albert,
Just leave him up to me."
Oyster stew with Arsenic,
God did not think was very nice,
So Albert's final destination,
Would be far removed from Paradise!

Ed's note: This post was written by guest editor Monica Kade of The Monica Kade Podcast.
The biggest mistake I see people make when writing their LinkedIn profile summary is that they're too impersonal. They throw in the big guns when it comes to professional experience and then skimp on the personality part.
Here's the thing: in person, you're no doubt charming, charismatic and witty. In person, you're engaging, intelligent and communicate your creativity fluently.
So, why is it then, when it comes to your LinkedIn profile, you present yourself as upholding the personality of a table?
Yes, professional experience definitely serves its purpose and will leave an impression. However, what will connect (and engage) the reader more deeply is if you can capture who you are and express that into words.
For a lot of my clients, that's the main reason they seek out my LinkedIn profile writing (or bio writing) service. They know they've got something to say, they sport high-business acumen, and they also have trouble capturing who they are into approximately 300 words.
Think about it: encapsulating who you are in 300 words can be challenging. What do you include and what do you leave out? You're going to want to make sure your profile packs a mean punch – so no personality skimping, please.
How to write a LinkedIn summary that'll land you a job
Nail your tagline
Located under your name, you're given space to nail who you are/what you do in a sentence or short phrase. My suggestion is to make this a little offbeat. Please note, this doesn't mean you go off the rails and write something absurd or not suitable for the LinkedIn platform. No. See if you can find another way to say that you run an events management company. What makes you different? What's so magic about you that puts you ahead of your competitors? Can you blend in a bit of humour?
Here's an example that I wrote for one of my clients: "The event management agency that executes a killer game plan while imagination rides shotgun."
Break down your LinkedIn summary into three parts
The easiest and quickest way to write this is to break it down into three parts.
Communicate to your audience or potential recruiters who you are, how you got to this point in your life (save the really intimate details) and what you're doing now. Have a bit of fun with this…
An intro sentence I wrote for a client was: "I'm XXX; media consultant and innovation provocateur. I've roused and wrangled the outdoor advertising and media industry in Australia, APAC, the Middle East and Europe. I'm armed with 20 years' experience. And, in a fast-paced digital world, I'm eager to cultivate strong business relationships based on respect, loyalty and trust."
Strong, right? Powerful. Engaging. You can do this too!
If you've got some time-gaps in your career timeline – don't be ashamed of them. A few of my clients have felt they'd be rejected because they've exited the workforce to have a baby, take a trip or take time to discover what it is they actually wanted to do. Don't adopt that perspective!
Life happens and things change constantly, it shows you're evolving and you're innovating in your life. If you have these gaps, just explain where you've been and who you've become because of it.
I recommend noting the companies you've worked for and any media exposure you've had. Or if you're a business owner, dive a little deeper and share what it is your company does. If you're a job seeker, share your vision and why you see yourself at this company. What goods are you bringing to the table?
Here, include something personal about you – that you love the ocean on a rainy day (that's me) or you do CrossFit (me again). Share something that depicts your humanness. Connection is key.
Remember, your LinkedIn profile is there to help you connect with people across various industries. It's just another way you can promote yourself. Knowing that, make sure you communicate who you really are. If you need help with this, then head on over to monicakade.com and let's talk.

While it's tempting to speculate that law firms, like teenage girls, abhor a vacuum and feel a strong need to bunch together and talk about how pretty they look, the reality is that investing in African offices has been seen as a shrewd business move for some years now.
Bowman Gilfillan corporate head Ezra Davids told the Lawyer: "It was always bound to happen, it's part and parcel of globalisation. It'll pose a challenge to independents like us, but you can't stop it - it's happening."
Last month, Canada's Fasken Martineau confirmed a merger with Johannesburg-based Bell Dewar, while a new Tanzania office was launched by international firm Norton Rose.
Slaughter and May also made an effort to get involved in the potentially lucrative sub-Saharan market by taking part in a major symposium with a number of independent African firms, according to the news provider.
Mining and natural resources have always been a part of South Africa's appeal to foreign investors, and the international law firms entering this market find that much of the work they are doing relates to outbound domestic investment.
Webber Wentzel senior partner David Lancaster explained: "We're a relatively mature market even though we're still a developing economy. Many South African companies are looking at moving into other African countries."
He pointed out that growth is currently slowing down in the developed world, meaning businesses looking for a potentially profitable and exciting experience have been forced to look elsewhere, a trend that has also been marked by increased activity in Asian markets.
It's important to shy away from talking about Africa as the next hotspot for the expansion of legal practices, however, given that the crucial thing to remember about the continent is that it's home to over one billion people and is breathtakingly diverse.
The significance of not treating the world's second biggest continent like a London suburb that just happens to be particularly hard to reach on the Tube was stressed by Patrick Colegrave, a counsel at offshore firm Harneys.
He suggested to the Lawyer that it is impossible to do business in Africa as if it is a single place, pointing out that any law firm hoping to set up an office there must operate on either a regional or country-by-country basis if they wish to work successfully with local firms.
While it's possible that some law firms employ the measure used by the Boundary Commission to delineate the Irish border in 1925 (closing their eyes and throwing darts at a map), it seems their expansion into southern Africa is based on more solid ground.

it starts off quite simply...
the flavors are what i wanted, a gelee of Pernod, some grapefruit segments
a tonka bean pudding hugging the thread of gelee
some thickened grapefruit juice
a black sesame sponge cake made in the microwave, a very soft and spongy element
with a deep toasted and smokey flavor
grapefruit meringue spread and dried on a tray and broken into shards to add crunch
the original starting point is the grapefruit parfait surrounded by grapefruit ice, frozen into a cylindar and cut
some micro cilantro to add freshness and a cleansing quality
probably should have stopped there
then i added a frozen white chocolate powder, why? because i wanted the white chocolate to bring together the grapefruit, sesame, and licorice
and finally finished with some pomello juice frothed up.
all the flavors are what i wanted, there are various textures to keep the mouth interested
and the colors really stand out on the plate...but it just really feels like a trainwreck.
sometimes the idea really outweights the execution. maybe tomorrow i will keep all the flavors and change all the techniques

Reduce Waste at School
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle at School
Echo the Owl says...
reduce, reuse & recycle
Think 'litterless' lunch when packing school lunches.
- Put sandwiches and snacks in a reusable container or bag.
- Buy in bulk and make single serving snacks yourself. You can save money and reduce the amount of garbage you produce.
- Return Tetra Pak juice containers and water bottles for a deposit refund.
- Pour drinks into reusable plastic drink containers or a thermos.
