How evolved logos Apple?
For more than thirty years history, the company has experienced only three rebranding. The first logo was designed by Ron venom. It was a picture of Isaac Newton, and the logo was more like a medieval coat of arms:
the Second the Apple logo appeared a year later, when the first computer company support color graphics. From arts Wayne has only bitten Apple, painted in all colors of the rainbow:
the Rainbow Apple logo
multi-Colored logo lived until the end of the XX century, and then to replace him came discolored option. Why — none reported, but there are rumors that Apple was tired of the comparison of their logo with the rainbow flag, which was adopted sex minorities. The most interesting is that Apple and gays used the rainbow around the same time — since the late 1970 H.
the Gray Apple is much better suited to the concept of modern design of Apple products — the severity of flowers, nothing more unique style.
Modern Apple logo
However, Apple Apple does is not always gray. On many products it is black or white.
what were the first product of Apple?
the First computer, which released the company Apple has become the computer Apple I. the First instance of this machine was assembled in two Stivali… in the garage. Apple I looked not as in the modern sense should look like a computer:
The same Apple I
although the Apple I was rather similar to a typewriter, it was a revolution in the world of computers. It was the first personal computer, which opened a new field of application PC. Before the Apple I computer was considered a purely engineering machine, which were predominantly used in scientific research. In those years no one could imagine that soon the computer will be in almost every home.
the Apple I was sold at the price of 666 dollars and 66 cents. All were released about 200 of these machines. By the way, in 2010 year, one such computer was sold at auction by Christie's for 133250 pounds.
What product Apple has brought the company's first commercial success?
Apple I Computers, although they were revolutionary in its essence, was released a short time — just a year. In 1977 to replace the Apple I came to his modified model, called the Apple II. This computer was being produced in mass scale. Steve jobs thought out design, Apple II, making it suitable for both home and office. Apple II in 1977 got a color graphics display and 48 kilobytes of RAM (in those days it was very much
the Apple II
the Apple II was actively developed, and produced until the late 1980 farm Were sold millions of these machines.
Why modern Apple computers called «Poppy»?
poppy — Russian transcription of the word Mac. Mac — a shortened version of the name Macintosh. Although Macs in English is usually called waterproof raincoats, cloaks this name has no relation. The word Macintosh — to reinvent the brand name of McIntosh apples.
Mac-apples McIntosh
these delicious apples adored one of the main Apple engineers JEF Raskin, so the idea of the brand belongs to him.
When did the Macintosh?
the First Mac was released January 24, 1984. He replaced the Apple II family and became a special — one of the first computers with a graphical user interface (GUI). Yes, until the mid-1980s all personal computers were managed only by using the command line.
the Very first poppy
needless to say that the Mac is brought convenience (and most importantly, ease of development of a computer) to a new level? The revolutionary Macintosh was shown in the famous spot where play dystopia Orwell»1984″:
- MacBook
- all-in-one iMac
- the system blocks the Mac Mini
- workstations Mac Pro
Always do Steve jobs and Steve Wozniak worked at Apple?
No. A black year for Apple was 1985, when the company went both Steve. The reason was a constant conflict with invited from PepsiCo as Director of John Scully. The irony is that in his time jobs long asked Scully to go to Apple. But jobs and Scully, as it turned out, there were different views on the future of Apple. Scully is increasingly entering into confrontation with jobs, calling his ideas are insane. Unfortunately, many projects jobs in the 1980s was really a failure, for example, the Apple III.
He fired Steve jobs from Apple
How lived jobs without Apple?
Steve jobs could not generate ideas and moreover could not sit idly by. After the shocking departure from Apple, he founded the company NeXT. which is also engaged in the production of computers and operating systems. In 1986, jobs decided to try a new career — he became one of the founders of the Studio computer animation Pixar .
the Logo Pixar
Studio Pixar has become a pioneer in the production of computer animation. «toy Story» and «monsters, Inc» have become one of the first projects of the Studio and immediately brought her fame and commercial success.
NeXTstation Computer
Actually, it was the computers NeXT unexpectedly caused the return of Steve jobs to Apple.
How lived Apple without jobs?
Without fresh ideas whimsical Steve jobs Apple slowly reached the stage of complete stagnation. Scully was unable to react to the growing threat from bill gates and Microsoft, and the ten years that Apple has existed without jobs, finally and irrevocably affected the balance of forces at the current market for personal computers and operating systems. The palm has finally overtaken Windows.
Apple in these years continued to develop the Macintosh and took a number of attempts to launch innovative devices, for example, prototype tablets and handhelds called Newton .
Newton — great-grandfather, iPhone and iPad
New products were, but to promote them as it was able to do the jobs that no one knew how. Accordingly, success in the market neither Newton nor the other idea, unfortunately, not received.
jobs returned to Apple?
By the mid-1990s, Apple began to think about how to save the company, which became weaker. In the end, the Directorate could not think of anything more interesting than try to absorb the NeXT Steve jobs. The jobs took this step as an opportunity to return to his company.
December 10, 1996 took place on the return of jobs. Condition Steve was offering him the post of «acting CEO». Since then began the Renaissance of Apple.
What Steve jobs achieved in the new Millennium?
For 11 years outside Apple jobs postroll, has become much more rational and prudent. In General, there are no ideas of jobs that would be disastrous since his return to Apple in 1996.
Apple is still produced Poppies, and the main focus was on their Mac OS. Today Mac OS X is considered to be one of the best OS due to the stability, security and design.
June 6, 2005, Steve jobs surprised everyone by announcing that all Macintosh computers will not be released based on IBM PowerPC processor, as it was before, and on Intel-Ah. First, since Apple officially allows to run Windows on Macs. Secondly, since then counts the history of Hackintosh — fun hemorrhoid process run Mac OS X on PC computers.
Windows on the iMac: before the picture would have caused a heart attack at any maciwoda
In the 2000s, Apple again memorable advertising. A worthy continuation of the movie 1984 and the famous slogan «Think different» has become a series of «Mac vs. PC», where Apple shows an example of the subtle trolling competing platforms:
But the main change that occurred in Apple's new Millennium — the shift of emphasis from the production of computers. In the 1990s, no one could imagine that Apple will be able to earn money on iPods and smart phones more than on Macs. But it's true.
October 23, 2001 the world was presented to the iPod. From the brand that word has quickly become a household name, and now «iPod» — not just the player, but a separate class of mobile gadgets.
the First generation iPod
the iPod was a breakthrough for Apple, and the additional profit of the company has brought a successful business model by the formula «iPod player iTunes online music store iTunes Store». The iPod is improved to this day: every year new generation of players.
iPod Models sample 2010
the IPods was not limited. Rumors that Apple will release a phone of its own production, was confirmed at 100%. January 9, 2007, Steve jobs introduced the iPhone. The iPhone also quickly became a household name and has gained considerable market share in mobile phones.
the First generation iPhone
Finally, in 2010 there were another innovation Apple: tablet iPad. The device was presented to 27 January 2010 and caused a storm of criticism, but then, as it was with other Apple products, were wildly popular. the iPad is so unusual that it is difficult to attribute it to any particular category of devices — it is not a netbook, and not a PDA. IPad creates a new niche of mobile devices, again leaving competitors behind.
iPad — new brainchild Apple
the First decade of the XXI century is reflected in the name of the company: if earlier it was called Apple Computers Inc. since 2007 is simply Apple Inc.. alluding to the fact that the profit it brings not only computers.
What software produces Apple?
first, the operating system Mac OS X (and its mobile version isiOS ). Secondly, the packages of applied programs — for home users iLife. for office — iWork. Thirdly, considerable popularity gained professional Apple products: Final Cut Studio for video editing and Logic Studio for sound processing. They are almost a standard in their market segments software.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard — snow leopard in the box
About the software from Apple, you can say something similar about the equipment. In combination with each other they provide the maximum convenience of the user tasks.
After Snow Leopard Apple has released a new version of «big cats» — OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Why the technique Apple this stylish?
For the design of the current Apple products need to say a big thank you to a man named Jonathan Ive. It gives ideas of jobs that most stylish minimalism that makes Apple products unique and distinguishes it from competitors.
Jonathan Ive and you-know-who
Ive — Apple's chief designer, and with his direct participation of all were designed Apple product, starting with the first monoblock iMac to iPad.
Where is the Apple?
the Apple Offices are located in the heart of Silicon valley, California, in the town of Cupertino. Head office address Apple sounds like 1 Infinite Loop .
Apple. The view from the top
In 2010, Apple has decided to expand office space and bought a quarter in Cupertino.
what is the secret of Apple's success?
the Only correct answer to this question knew only the person in the pictures below. But the secret he has no will reveal.
jobs — the founder and mastermind behind Apple
October 5, 2011 Steve jobs: in an unequal battle with pancreatic cancer he was never able to win. To replace the jobs came Tim cook — a great expert in the field of production management and logistics.
of Course, Tim is able to make a profit. But if he knew how to see opportunities and create new products? Time will tell.
Apple Products, both software and hardware made for people. They offer not only a stylish design, but also a high degree of usability. Apple fans — a subculture, and no other company will not be able to boast of so many loyal fans. As pathetic as that might sound cliche about the fact that the Apple — lifestyle. there are quite a great deal of truth.

Prosperous singer with scandalous reputation and long full name Christopher Maurice Brown started his career in late 2005, at the age of 16. The single Run it! led the charts and became known around the world appearing in the first album. However, Chris Brown knows well bitter price of world popularity.
Chris Brown Net Worth - $30 Million
Birth Name - Christopher Maurice Brown
Date of birth - May 5, 1989
Zodiac Sign - Taurus
Birth Place - Tappahannock, Virginia, U.S.
Nationality - American
Height - 6′ 1″
Profession - Record producer, Screenwriter, Singer-songwriter, Rapper, Actor, Dancer, Music artist, Businessperson
The initial album was already on the 2nd place in Billboard 200, and in 7 days over 155 thousand copies have been sold all over the world. That was smashing success without any explanations. After 5 weeks of sale, the album was certified platinum; in a year it became double platinum. The second single «Yo (Excuse Me Miss)» led the top ten hits for 10 weeks.
In summer 2006, the singer began the tour «The Up Close and Personal Tour» to promote the album. Upon its completion, Chris began work on a second album «Exclusive», which was released in November 2007. In summer 2008, the album was re-released deluxe edition. It was called «Exclusive: The Forever Edition» and included four new tracks.
More in 2008, Chris worked on the third studio album. According to the artist, he was going to experiment with different styles and genres. The album was released December 15, 2008, and took 55th place. It became the first serious failure in the career of a popular singer bringing him one-star rating and much headache.
The most difficult life stories came on February 8th, 2009 when Chris Brown was arrested on charges of domestic violence. The victim was his girlfriend, a well-known singer Rihanna. After this incident, many of its advertising campaigns were cancelled, several radio stations refused to put his songs in the rotation, and the Chris overturned most of the performances, including the Grammy Awards.
Anyway, life always gives the second chance. A month later, Chris posted a short video on YouTube, in which he apologized to Rihanna and his fans. In September of the same year, Chris gave his first public interview on Larry King show, where he spoke about domestic violence in childhood. He claimed he could rearrange his thoughts and way of life in order to become a good man without hitting the girls.
In May 2010, Chris with his friend Tyga began recording joint mixtape, which was a great success. This gave Brown hopes that his career could still rise. On March 22, 2011 he released his new album entitled «FAME». Throughout his career, Chris Brown has released 4 albums, 20 singles, and 4 joint albums. Of course, the sky isn't the limit, and the rapper is pretty sure about this.
Chris Brown has an estimated net worth of $30 million. He gets incredible profit from various sources, from music successful albums and tours to commercials. Music and tour sales are clearly not enough to keep the lights on for Chris Brown as the singer has revealed he owns 14 Burger King restaurants. The R&B star revealed the unexpected source of income in an editorial piece for Us Weekly magazine. Yes, we can be sure the singer has a real business mind and follows his road of success. Well this is the story of Chris.

Seasons Illustrated is currently looking to take on a limited number of contributors for our upcoming studies! If you have a passion for writing and a heart for community, this is a great opportunity for you. We are so excited to get to know each other – apply here or read more below!
About us
Curious about Seasons Illustrated? You can read more on our about page, but here are the basics:
Who we are: We are, first and foremost, an open and accepting community of Christians from all denominations and walks of life. We are also Bible journaling community of more than 2,800 people (and counting!), who meets over Facebook and Instagram to share our work and what we're learning.
What we do: The heart of our community is Bible journaling – studying and connecting with the Biblical text in a new and creative way. We put out weekly prompts via this site and our mailing list, and publish seasonal studies in eBook or print form. While Bible journaling experience is preferred for this position, it is not required.
How we started: Seasons Illustrated began as an Advent Bible journaling challenge in late 2015. The Advent Bible journaling devotional that went along with our study, Advent Illustrated, was available both as an eBook and a print book, and became the #1 seller in Christian Bible Studies on Amazon.
About you
We are looking to take on a select number of writers who are comfortable writing creative devotional reflections on an assigned Bible verse. For a sample of what we are looking for, please check out examples here and here!
We are looking for writers who:
- Have experience writing, either for their own blog, for contributor sites, or for other publications.
- Either have experience in Bible journaling or are willing and eager to start!
- Can contribute to the site on a monthly basis for at least 3 months.
Applicants from any and all denominations (or non-denominations) are accepted and welcomed!
About the contributor position
We are SO excited to be branching out into a contributor site! We are currently working on our Lent study and making plans for other studies this year. We are looking for contributors who can contribute to the site and to the studies and we would love to have you on board!
What's in it for you!
- A fun and supportive creative team of fellow writers and creatives
- A passionate and engaged community and readership of thousands
- A chance to promote your favorite charities for our seasonal charity selection, when we donate up to half our proceeds to a charity that reflects the heart of the community (our Advent winner was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, to whom we were able to donate $1000)
- The potential to be taken on as a paid contributor in the future
Regarding compensation
We do not use advertising on this site, and our Patreon account covers hosting expenses and the cost of an editor. Our devotional guides have until now been priced at $2 each so that they are affordable to anyone, and a major portion of the proceeds of our eBook studies have gone to charities such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. As a result we cannot and do not offer pay for site contributors at the present time; however, we are working out the logistics and legalese to take on paid contributors in the future. When this happens, those with experience writing for Seasons Illustrated will be considered first.
Would you like to join us? Apply here!

After submitting the response to the query, I waited. Then I received an email saying that my situation fit closely enough to the article that was being written. The person writing the email asked if she could pass on my name and contact information to the woman who was writing the article. Of course I said yes. So, I waited some more.
Then I received an email from a woman named Jan Goodwin saying she wanted to set up a time to interview me over the phone. I emailed back and set a time for the interview, and waited a little more.
During this period of waiting, I did some research. I was attempting to be slick, and not freak out, that I'd agreed to do the interview. I was so excited, and so terrified. I wanted to find out about this woman I was going to talk to. I wanted to know what she wrote, but also wanted to know where her articles were usually published. I didn't find out much about her, except that she had written a book called "Price of Honor." I also found out she'd been published in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and New York Magazine. Good, I thought, two magazines I would have to struggle to find and no one I know would ever see.
The day for the interview came. I could hardly concentrate and was afraid I'd sound like a babbling idiot during the interview. When Jan finally called, I answered all her questions and managed not to babble. She talked to me for about half an hour and then asked if I had any questions for her. I told her I wanted to know why she was writing the article. This was a very painful topic and I couldn't imagine why she would want to get into it. She said, "I'm a human rights author. This is a violation of your human rights."
I was speechless. I had always thought it was a violation of my rights, but didn't really think anyone else believed that.
The interview ended very shortly after that and she told me I would be contacted when the article was about to be published. So, I waited some more. This time, it was several months.
Then Jan called me and left a voice mail saying that the article was almost ready to be published, but the people from O Magazine wanted to know if I had any pictures from when I was a child that I would like to include. I listened to the voice mail again. O Magazine. That couldn't be right. I had heard of that one. O Magazine was everywhere. What had I done? People could potentially see this article. My FAMILY could see the article.
After the shock of that wore off, I responded that yes, of course I wanted to include a picture, but I didn't have any. That meant I had to tell my mother what I had done. She was less than pleased, but agreed to get a few pictures together from when I was little and send them to O Magazine in New York. I got an email saying the pictures had been received and the article would be published in the October edition of O Magazine and that I would receive a complimentary copy. I found out that the October edition means the magazine will be out at the end of August. Who knew? It came out the first week of October, 2006. (Yes, I have edited this because I got the date wrong.)
I was working with a very good therapist at the time and talking to a lot of friends. Again, I was so excited and so freaked out. Christopher Grundy had given me a book by Mari West Zimmerman entitled "Take and Make Holy." (The book costs $6. Every survivor and every church should own one.) It was a wonderful book and through the conversations, either Christopher or I suggested that I write a service. It sounded like a wonderful idea and I began to write, as I waited for the article to come out.
There was never an exact date given when I could expect to see it, so I'd make extra trips to Borders to check. The healing service was coming along nicely, people had been invited, plans were being made, and the wait for the article continued.
My sister saw the article before I did. She lives in a small town and it was out at the gas station where she worked before it was out in the stores in St. Louis. I finally found it and sat in the store shaking while I read it. A friend from seminary was with me and I'm glad I wasn't reading it alone.
It was stunning. It wasn't that my part of the article was that wonderful, but I felt so free. People could look and see my picture in a magazine in an article about childhood sexual abuse. I felt that all the pieces left inside me might fly apart, but this time, not out of anger and pain, but out of pure kinetic energy and excitement. It was so wonderful to know I wouldn't die because people knew my secret. For the first time in my memory, I didn't feel broken. I felt strong and whole. And the Celebration Service was still to come.

Special Construction For You
Making one of a kind projects is my goal in life. I grew up in a small town in Oregon, and the last thing I ever wanted was to be wearing the same outfit as someone else. Now that I live in Eugene Oregon I have the same feeling of wanting to be uniquely me! In turn I look forward to making special orders of my go-to crafts to insure the rest of the community is just as unique. Below I have included some of my personal projects as well as projects I have completed for others.
Here I went pocket crazy on this Carry All. What can I say I need pockets when it comes to keeping this lady organized. I have been known to use this as my go to purse, over night bag, and a travel bag.
My duvet cover! I used a pieced top of flannel, crisp cottons and flannel backed satin, 100% cotton backing, red satin blanket binding and snap tape to keep the duvet closed. By leaving small openings at each corner it is easy to adjust the inside blankets.
Cozy Blankets for all ages. This one I made for my niece so she could kick it on the floor. The circles are sewn on in two different ways making amazing texture. Mom and I finished the binding together.
Aprons for all sizes. I made matching aprons for mom and son. They cook so much why not have awesome aprons. They are made of a crisp cotton to allow for easy wear and wash. The straps are fully adjustable for multi-size fitting. The apron wraps around to cover the backside of your legs, also known as the wipe area.
Here you can see the square squared dress that I made for my client. She loves the flow and ease of the dresses. They allow her to adjust size depending on the day. I used a polyester fabric that is slightly sheer to give flow and movement to the dress.
I love to make tote bags that are very eye catching yet still functional. This one is great for clothes, books, groceries or anything else my heart desires. The yellow lining adds extra strength to the 100% cotton fabric.
Below is a slide show of the pillowcases I have made.

Lebrun (2007) likens the introduction to the "hands of your [scientific] paper," as it "provides guidance, greets, and introduces a topic not familiar to the reader," as well as "points to the related works of other scientists and to your contribution."
Katz (2006) says that the introduction "leads a reader from a well-known, easily visible landmark into the depths of science and right into the particular spot occupied by your paper."
Day (1998) says that the introduction serves "to supply sufficient background information to allow the reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study without needing to refer to previous publication on the topic." He then points to the five parts of the introduction:
Katz (2006) provides a simple skeleton of the introduction:
Lebrun (2007) enumerates the purpose of the introduction for readers:

We are both professionals living in Olympia, Washington.
Steve Weinberg purchased this condo in 2009
It is overcast and rainy nine months out of the year in Olympia. Palm Desert offers year round blue skies and warm weather.
We love golfing, hiking and many other outdoor activities. Our new condominium gives us easy access to outdoor living.
The pictures are exactly as the property is. We were comfortable, had all amenities just like home and felt very safe.
We stayed in this condo for two weeks and enjoyed it very much. The condo was clean and bright. The kitchen was well-equipped and the BBQ was easy to use. There was also an ample supply of toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent, towels, sheets etc. Best of all was the south facing view from the patio - you never get tired of looking at the lake, mountains, waterfalls and of course the ducks. The very private pool and hot tub were steps away from the condo. Use of the golf cart and bikes were also an added bonus. We would definitely stay in this condo on our next trip to the Desert.
The unit was clean and beautifully decorated, we felt at home and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equiped and the outdoor barbeque was easy to operate. The pool is very close and if you like to watch, the action of golf or ducks paddling in ponds this location is ideal. I found the beds extremely comfortable.
There were bicycles and a golf cart available for use. We enjoyed biking around the club, the grounds are very scenic and the people friendly and welcoming.
We stayed at this condo for our annual trek to the sunny Coachella Valley. The train can be heard from the unit but the amazing golf course and mountain views from the back patios make it all worth it! The best pool in the resort is steps from the back door making relaxing by the pool so effortless. The TV is brand new with a perfect picture and lots of cable channels. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans etc. The owners were more than helpful and accommodating. Great Place!
We have rented many units the the Palm Springs area and this unit rates on the bottom of the list. There were 2 couples renting this unit and from the beginning there were alot of rules & regulations including payment. And there was a security deposit on top.
The unit was ok except for a few things: Beds are hard, TV is old, the guest bathroom was dirty, took awhile to get the internet working, bedroom furniture very old, and there is a train that shakes the unit. (we were not told about that)
The good things: View of the golf course, use of the gold cart.
Disturbing is that it took over 2 weeks and many emails and phone calls to get our security deposit back.
I will not rent from this owner again.

We are the number one gas lifestyle destination shop in Gauteng. Our "mother-ship" head office and (newly renovated) show rooms are situated in Hennops Park in Centurion.
We are a small team, mindlessly dedicated to the promotion of gas and gas products.
We believe know that gas is the only truly viable, affordable and accessible alternative fuel source, and we do everything in our power to help those around us understand why this is.
Our journey started a long time ago though. We originally popped into existence in a bustling Pretoria town in 1947. Started by Boris and Gershen Berman and originally known as Berman Brothers, we first diversified into the LPG sector in the very early nineteen-sixties when LPG became a accepted and regulated market in South Africa.
We have been significant players in the LPG trade ever since, importing some of the best gas powered equipment internationally available, advising and educating interested parties in the advantages of gas over other alternatives, innovating the market with new products and methods, keeping the marketplace competitive thereby ensuring gas products stay reasonably priced for the consumer and, of course, building our brand reputation through our legendary service levels.
A Little More About Us
We're Independent
Like a 14 year old with no-good friends, we crave independence, and it shows in everything we do.
It has been said to us that ours is a dying model, but we choose not to listen.
We offer an authentic retail experience that's pretty special in today's fast mass produced world. We import our own range of house brands which we are custodian over in S.A. We even have our own brand of gas which we very proudly compete against the oil-spill giants with.
We're Old
We've been around since 1947. We are a third generation family owned group. There's a lot of experience here we
have to share with anyone that'll lend an ear.
There also aren't too many independent groups like ours anymore and we are very proud to fly that flag.
We Know our Stuff
We really do. All that experience (did I mention we started in 1947?) combined with a vested interest being a family group forces onto you, we can get quite serious about gas. While it means there are always photo's of gas bottles mixed in on family vacations, it also means we have a lot of knowledge to share.
We're PerfectionistsWe really struggle to let the little things go, if we could fit our company into a shrink's couch i'm pretty sure we'd be diagnosed outrageously OCD and needing medication. And we obsess about stuff like customer service, competing ethically, sustainable living, exemplary governance and educating others about just how awesome all our products are.
We have a number of groups, companies and organisations that we are closely affiliated with who are pivotal to our daily operations. As an independent retailer our affiliates are vital to our existence and in most cases define our product or service offering.

Mona, 3, is a beautiful brindle American pit bull terrier blend. She is a medium size at 41 pounds. She's house-trained; knows sit, stay, lay down; loves toys and treats and loves to play fetch with tennis balls. This fun girl pulls on her leash, so needs a strong handler to walk her and help her with some more leash-training. She reacts a lot to other dogs outside and would be best in a home without other dogs. Any children in the home should be older than 12 and the home should be cat-free. A meet-and-greet with family, including any dogs in the home, is required before adopting Mona. She may try to establish dominance in the home in time. Mona's owner surrendered her due to her aggression toward their other dog. Mona is vaccinated, micro chipped and spayed.
Mona is in the Dog Adoption wing at the West Valley Humane Society at 5801 Graye Lane in Caldwell. The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and closed on Sundays. For more information on other adoptable pets visit www.westvalleyhumanesociety.org

PUBLISHED ON May 28th, 2013
Rats are one of the most problematic pests in the U.S. Portland rodent control specialists explain that rodents damage property, contaminate food and spread diseases. When it comes to local rodent control, Portland residents and business owners have to deal with two non-native species – the Norway rat and the roof rat. By knowing the signs of a rat problem around your home or business, you can quickly take measures to control the problem with the help of a specialist.
Rodent droppings: Unlike mice, rats tend to eliminate waste in certain areas of a building. A dropping is smaller than a paper clip, about the size of an olive pit.
Scratching sounds: Rats tend to navigate buildings via spaces inside the walls and ceiling. If you have a rat problem, you may hear scratching noises in the wall or above your head.
Smooth holes: Rats make smooth-looking holes in yards. If you fill a hole and it reappears, you may have a rat problem or a break in your sewer line – both concerns worth investigating.
Chewed wires: Rats like to gnaw on everything, including electrical wires. If you find a wire stripped of outer insulation, exposing the copper wiring, you most likely have a rodent problem.
Making your home or office seem unfriendly to rats is the best way to prevent an infestation. The following are simple techniques everyone can use to deter rodent trespassers.
Block entrances.
Store food securely.
Maintain a tidy landscape.
Make trash cans inaccessible.
Keep a clean home and office.
If you suspect you have a rat problem, call a Portland rodent control expert like Eden Pest right away. Let the pros handle the problem so you can reduce your risk of exposure to the diseases rats can carry.

Wilferd Peterson QuotesAugust 21, 1900 - June 2, 1995
Be inspired by this collection of quotes; Wilferd Peterson words contain wisdom and still have application today. Wilferd Arlan Peterson was born in Whitehall, Michigan. He worked for an advertising firm. But he also loved to write. In the 1960's he wrote many inspirational essays for a magazine called This Week. He ended up writing many books including The Art of Living.
Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a
burning desire to achieve.
Wilferd Peterson
Success |
You may plan to write a book some day, but you are living a book every day.
Wilferd Peterson
Quote of The Day |
In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day.
Wilferd Peterson
The Art of Living Each Day |
We give of ourselves when we give the gift of words: encouragement, inspiration, guidance.
Wilferd Peterson
Inspirational Quotes |
There are no guarantees, no infallible guards against danger and disease, no positive security. Our objective should be to live, really live, all the days of our lives, through joys, disasters, threats, sunshine and storms.
Wilferd Peterson
Positive Quotes |
How can we best keep Christmas? How can we best defeat the little bit of Scrooge in all of us and experience the glory of the Great Day? By sinking the shafts of our spirits deep beneath the sparkling tinsel of the surface of Christmas and renewing within us the radiance of the inner meaning of the season.
Wilferd Peterson
Christmas |
Moment by moment you are building the story of your life. You control your thoughts and acts as an author of a novel controls the thoughts and actions of the characters in his story. No matter what happens to you in the pages of time, you have the power to react like a hero!
Wilferd Peterson
Graduation |
To be a friend a man should be tolerant, he should have an understanding heart and a forgiving nature, know that all men stumble now and then, and that he who never made a mistake never accomplished anything.
Wilferd Peterson
Tolerance |
Release your problems to God with a prayer that the answer will come in its own good time and place. Hold the attitude of faith and expectancy, knowing that God has all the answers, that His knowledge is limitless and can never be exhausted.
Wilferd Peterson
God |
Faith is not only daring to believe, it is also daring to act. When I believe in myself as a son of God, I attribute to all men the same quality. This goes for men of every class, creed and color. The proof that I believe this way will be measured by the way I act towards others.
Wilferd Peterson
Faith |
By accepting the fact that old age and death are natural and inevitable, that to fear them is futile, and that they can best be faced with a calm and quiet mind by ignoring them and gallantly living a day at a time.
Wilferd Peterson
Age |
The winds of life - the conflicts, pressures, changes - will bend us but if we have resiliency of the spirit they cannot break us. To courageously straighten up again after our heads have been bowed by defeat, disappointment and suffering is a supreme test of character.
Wilferd Peterson
Quotes about Life |
Memory is a record of your personal experience. It is a record of trial and error, defeat and success. Past failures will warn you against repeating them. Past victories will inspire you to set new marks of achievement. Through memory you can focus the thngs you've learned in the past on the life you are living today.
Wilferd Peterson
Memory |
The brotherhood of man is usually thought of as something unattainable, the vision of a dreamer. The truth is that brotherhood exists now and has always existed. The brotherhood of man is here. It is not a fancy but a fact. It is not a dream but a reality.
Wilferd Peterson
Brotherhood |
He who hopes to avoid all failure and misfortune is trying to live in a fairyland, the wise man realistically accepts failures as a part of life and builds a philosophy to meet them and make the most of them.
Wilferd Peterson
Failure |
The littleness of men gets in the way of the bigness of God. We have set up barriers of fear, prejudice, suspicion, hatred, which have prevented the goodness of God from breaking through. We have expected God to work miracles directly from heaven, when He can only work them through men.
Wilferd Peterson
Miracle |
There is another kind of optimism that has built civilization. It could well be called deep optimism. Deep optimism has strong roots in the goodness of God. It is anchored in love, hope, courage and faith. The deep optimist responds heroically to every test. He realize that he cannot control everything that happens to him but that he can control his response to what happens to him.
Wilferd Peterson
Optimistic |
The shallow optimists give up. The deep optimists never stop trying even when causes seem to be lost. Deep optimism runs like a golden thread through the whole story of the progress of man on this earth.
Wilferd Peterson
Inspirational Stories |
Most of all, learn to laugh at yourself, meet each day with a sense of humor.
Wilferd Peterson
Humor |
Those three words were spoken to the young Lincoln as his mother was dying. Calling the boy to her, and tenderly stroking his face with her fingers, Lincoln's mother said: "Be somebody, Abe!" The inspiration of those words life Lincoln from a log cabin to the White House. They inspired him to think, study, grow.
Wilferd Peterson
Encouraging |
Happiness does not depend upon what happens outside of you but on what happens inside of you; it is measured by the spirit in which you meet the problems of life.
Wilferd Peterson
Problem |
The world needs less heat and more light. It needs less of the heat of anger, revenge, retaliation, and more of the light of ideas, faith, courage, aspiration, joy, love and hope.
Wilferd Peterson
Hope |
Many a young man has been helped and inspired to carry on because someone has shown him the possibilities of the future.
Wilferd Peterson
Possibilities |
Arousing the imagination arouses the creative powers of man. Help a man to see himself as he wishes to be. Help him to visualize himself succeeding. Help him to dream great dreams.
Wilferd Peterson
Imagination |
Men need to be taught the wisdom of working and waiting. Many a man has left the dock just before his ship came in. Time has great power to solve problems. Counsel patience.
Wilferd Peterson
Patience |
Simply and plainly defined, a leader is a man who has followers. The leader deserves to have followers. He has earned recognition. Authority is no longer enough to command respect.
Wilferd Peterson
Leadership |
Champion the right to be yourself; dare to be different and to set your own pattern; live your own life and follow your own star.
Wilferd Peterson
Being Yourself |
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Wilferd Peterson

The Timber Lake Panthers won their second straight football game and dominated the McLaughlin Mustangs on Friday night in a 50-0 contest that was stopped at halftime via the mercy rule. It was the final home game at Timber Lake and Parents' Night as well, and TLHS moved to 2-5 on the year by topping the Mustangs (3-5). "I was happy with the way the boys came out and played with fire and intensity from the start," Head Coach Jordan Weisbeck said. "That was by far our best start to a game this year and it paid off big time."

The Timber Lake Panthers are sending a total of six runners to the State Class B cross country meet in Huron Oct. 22. All five varsity boys runners placed inside the top 20 in the Region 4B meet held Wednesday, Oct. 12 at Gettysburg. This qualifies them individually for the state meet.

With only four runners, the Timber Lake boys varsity cross country team placed third at the Highmore meet on October 1. Beau DuBray and Ethan Schaffer notched top 10 finishes to lead the Panthers, with Ethan Farlee and Trevor Brangham making the top 20. Miller's Cole Sargent set the pace with his win in 17:58.21, with DuBray finishing 6th in 19:10.77. Schaffer was 9th in 19:21.53, Farlee was 13th in 19:56.87, Brangham was 18th in 20:29.69.
The Timber Lake Panthers had some bright spots during their home 9-man football game Friday versus the Faith Longhorns, but they were not able to overcome turnovers and a potent Faith rushing attack in a 32-12 loss. Early fumbles hurt the Panthers again, as they turned the ball over twice in the first quarter and Faith was up 12-0 with 5:39 left in the first quarter.
The Timber Lake Panthers inproved their varsity volleyball record to 4-6 on the season by defeating Standing Rock 3-0 Sept. 22 in Ft. Yates, ND. The Panthers won 25-13, 25-16 and 25-12 in the sweep.
Timber Lake and Bison each scored two touchdowns on Friday in Bison during their 9-man football contest, but the difference came down to the extra point conversions. Timber Lake was 0-2 in extra point tries, while Bison got 2 points each time to win 16-12. The Cardinals, now 2-1 on the season, had averaged 49 points per game, but the Panther defense held Bison to a season low in offensive production.

Drooping or sagging brows can cause you to look tired and increase your perceived age. Many women (and also a growing number of men) will get their eyebrows plucked, waxed, or threaded to create a clean arch to give them a fresh, youthful look. In-fact, men's eyebrow position is slightly lower, naturally, than women's, so there is even less leeway before dropping begins to affect the upper eyelids. A forehead lift is a facelift of the upper one third of the face and is a great solution to creating a natural, youthful appearance by raising the brows back to their normal position.
Your eyebrow arch is a reflection of your age

A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a reciprocating motion via a crankshaft, and is then discharged.
Applications include oil refineries, gas pipelines, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and refrigeration plants. One specialty application is the blowing of plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Dominica storm aftermath. Photocred: NBCNews.com
Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria were two of the most powerful storms in history, leaving a
path of demolition through the Caribbean in their wake.
The two storms especially devastated the lives of students at Florida A&M University and their family members who are of Caribbean descent.
Hurricane Irma was an extremely powerful and catastrophic hurricane, logging in as the strongest observed hurricane with maximum sustained winds in the Atlantic Ocean since Wilma in 2005.
Irma first formed on August 30, 2017 and sustained destructive force until dissipating on September 16, 2017, but not before causing damage to many island nations in the Caribbean. Hurricane Maria shortly followed, forming on September 6, 2017. It grew to be the tenth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record. Consequently, it gave virtually no time for these islands in the Caribbean to recover from Irma.
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, FAMU students of island origin have been affected as their families are severely suffering back home in their home countries. Many students are struggling to even get in contact with their family as the storms left many places without power.
Kiannah Laurent, a Senior Nursing student at FAMU has family in both St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands.
"It took us almost three days before we could make contact with my grandparents after Irma hit St. Thomas, and even longer to find out statuses of our other family members across the island. There is no cell service and many places are without power," Laurent said.
Laurent continued, "My cousins have no school to attend because all have been destroyed. In Dominica, 90% of the homes in my father's village are destroyed. Many are dead. There is no hospital anymore on the island. People have resorted to looting stores just to find drinkable water, food, and baby supplies."
Many island nations in the Caribbean have left the natives to fend for themselves. Other places, such as St. Martin, are in complete isolation. Communication is very difficult due to the fact that the majority of the island is still without power.
The Dutch island of St. Martin (St. Maarten) felt the brutal effect of this year's hurricane season with 90% of the country's building structures have been destroyed.
Alexandrine Peterson, a Counselor Education Graduate Student, has strong ties with St. Maarten, as she was born and raised there.
Hurricane Irma tore through her home town, but still she was luckier than most.
"My family's home suffered some structural damage, however they were more fortunate than others who were left without a home period," said Peterson.
However, the physical destruction does not compare to the emotional damage that natives of St. Maarten are experiencing. Buildings can be rebuilt, but family possessions and memorabilia cannot be replaced.
"The emotional trauma was much more to bare, as following the hurricane my siblings were amongst many citizens who evacuated to other islands/countries," said Peterson.
"Life, for now, is a fragile thing on St. Martin," Azam Ahmed of the New York Times wrote in More Than a Week After Irma, St. Martin Is Still Trying to Survive.
Maria and Irma have also brought the economy detriment, as St. Maarten's staple tourism industry is severely suffering. All of the damage that has been done has left many residents of the island without their usual means for income. This harshly hinders natives' ability to recover, let alone survive.
Shakimo Martinus, a Biology Pre-Medicine Student, also calls St. Maarten home. His family has been left without work due to the distressed tourism industry after Irma.
"Many of the hotels have been damaged badly, and thus, will leave the tourism sector in a state of disarray," Martinus said. "Both my mother and grandfather work as taxi drivers, and this will leave them without work for the next coming months."
But even still, there is hope, as the people of the Caribbean begin to pick up the pieces of their lives effected by the storm.
"My family is thankful to have life and are trying as much as possible to establish some normalcy into their lives, as the country is progressively being rebuilt and businesses are reopening," Peterson said.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 14820
sync() hangs during mke2fs
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:57 EDT
I was doing a mke2fs on an external 40gig hardware RAID device, and during
this mke2fs I tried to run the passwd command to change a user's password.
After entering the information (password twice), the passwd process would
just hang indefinitely.
Looking into this further, I started passwd again (removing any lock files
created in /etc) and started a strace on the passwd PID.
Interestingly, I see something like this:
write(6, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 748) = 748
close(6) = 0
munmap(0x401cb000, 4096) = 0
rename("/etc/passwd+", "/etc/passwd") = 0
At the sync( there is a hang and as I'm watching it now it has been like
this for over an hour. During this whole time, I have a mke2fs going in
another shell. It seems to me very odd that the kernel will not return from
this function for so long.
Any help appreciated.
sync returns when there are no blocks unwritten. If something is generating
blocks at speed then this may well happen. There is a second issue (fixed in the
2.2.16 kernel) that might be what you see where the kernel doesnt always fairly
share the disk and the mke2fs can hold off the sync for a long long time. It
causes no problems but the delay.
The errata kernel should thus have fixed this.

These sound so intriguing! If you love Guinness or Baileys could be worth a try!
Ive loved experimenting with jelly shots! I have made vodka jelly ones and at Christmas made some gin and tonic jelly shots and served in a cut out lemon! These went down very well with my boyfriends family during some games on Christmas day!
Im definitely going to try these Guinness and baileys ones but they do require some more specific ingredients I will have to hunt down. Such as the Patron Cafe which after some googling have realised it is a type of coffee tequila!! Could be more expensive which can be a downfall of making more unusual things, so perhaps save for a special occasion! (Like next Christmas!)

Scott F. Evans
Furious 7 is cinematic Kool-Aid. The latest film in the juggernaut "Fast" franchise is far too sweet, and ultimately not very good for you. To paraphrase Shakespeare, it is a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
To be clear, Furious 7 isn't all bad. It's a fireworks show: loud, bright, and empty. Fireworks shows are great because they enter, dazzle you, and exit well short of an hour. Furious 7 comes in loud and make no mistake… it does dazzle, but it overstays its welcome. With an almost two and a half hour run time, it's easily 45 minutes too long. The bloat makes the film feel overeager, desperately trying to outdo its predecessors and compete with cinematic peers. It wants to be some bizarre hybrid mix of a superhero, espionage, and heist movie — but it ends up being a spectacular mess.
One thing it does nail is spectacle. Director James Wan has done primarily lower budgeted horror films prior, and Furious 7 feels like he lost the film amidst the obscene $250 million budget, studio demands, and star egos. The big action scenes are all well executed but Wan commits some structural missteps with placing. There's a chase through the Caucasus Mountains about a quarter of the way through. It's so effective that it should have been saved for the climax. But a lot of the action is repetitive and… well… dumb. Wan is a lot more adept at the larger sequences than he is with the smaller fight scenes. Most of the hand to hand bits are nearly ruined by his intrusive camerawork. Extreme tilts and hyper editing obscure what looks like some truly impressive choreography. And Wan is definitely in love with closeups of feet slamming into clutches and hands jamming gears…
In his defense, Wan is fighting against Chris Morgan's atrocious script. The dialogue is awkward and feels almost perfunctory, like Morgan had no real investment in it and was just biding his time until the next overblown set piece. Even the puns are forgettable. In all fairness, some of the issues with the story could be attributed to the untimely death of series regular Paul Walker. There's a lot of exposition and fumbling around, and that may be the result of trying to save the film after losing such an integral part of the cast.
That said, the acting is all over the place. Walker, as Brian O'Conner, has an easygoing charm that makes up for his limited range. The series other lead, Vin Diesel, as Dom Toretto, has apparently giving up any attempts at levity or depth. He just scowls, sulks and growls all of his lines in exact same flat cadence. The crime is, he's in almost every scene. The rest of the cast are a mixed bag as well. Dwayne Johnson (returning as Luke Hobbs) takes none of this seriously and gleefully chews up his goofy tough guy dialogue. Michelle Rodriguez also returns as Letty Ortiz. She handles the action well (glowering with the best of them) but falters when called on to be vulnerable. Her character's romantic relationship with Toretto strains credulity. Tyrese Gibson and Chris Bridges (as Roman and Tej respectively) do their best with the very limited amount of material they are given. You can actually feel Morgan struggling to make these characters matter. Kurt Russell makes his series debut as CIA spook Frank Petty, who serves as the team's M (Bond) or Nick Fury (Avengers). Russell tries to give the character some spark, but Morgan's weak dialogue fails him in every scene. Jason Statham appears as Deckard Shaw, an unstoppable ex SAS assassin. He's a solid physical presence, but he's reduced to being basically a Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers type slasher, unexplainably showing up to challenge the heroes when the script demands it. Rounding out the villains are the underused Tony Jaa and Djimon Honsou, and MMA superstar Ronda Rousey makes a cameo appearance to participate in a needless fight with Rodriguez.
Believe it or not, I didn't hate Furious 7. It's mostly dumb fun (even though Diesel would have you think otherwise). These films have always required a generous amount of suspension of disbelief to be enjoyed, but this installment really pushes that need to a breaking point. The need to constantly top itself has pushed an already outlandish series into cartoon land. Each stunt is progressively more ridiculous (yet no one really gets injured). Taken in smaller doses this would all be fine. But with an epic run time and nonsensical plot, you not only feel fatigued by the end but it begins to fade from memory nearly the moment you exit the theater.
Despite all this, I say…

Beowulf: From Boyhood to Manhood
English 10
Ms. Lewis
From Boyhood to Manhood
As Beowulf progresses in the book, he develops into a more mature person. Initially Beowulf chooses to fight battles which don't directly benefit himself or his people. He is arrogant and foolhardy by fighting Grendel with no weapons or armor. He tells his men of his decision on lines 436-441, "I hereby renounce sword and the shelter of the broad shield, the heavy war-board: hand to hand-to-hand is how it will be, a life-and-death fight with the fiend. Whichever one death fells must deem it a just judgment of God." This passage shows how foolish Beowulf is, because he's willing to risk his life for a minor cause that doesn't affect his kingdom or his personal health. Aware of the consequences if he loses to Grendel, he still refuses to change his mind and fight with armor or weapons. Beowulf nervously knows what will happen if his foolishness causes him to lose, "If Grendel wins, it will be a gruesome day; he will glut himself on the Geats in the war-hall, swoop without fear on that flower of manhood as on others before No need then to lament for long or lay out my body: if the battle takes me Fate goes ever as fate must."(Lines 442-445,450-451,455) This passage shows how arrogant Beowulf is, knowing that he's up against a demon who's been wrecking havoc on the Geats for twelve years without anybody being able to stop him. Beowulf does not take into consideration what will happen to his kingdom if he dies, he only lives for the excitement and the challenge of the battle.
When Beowulf prepares to fight Grendel's mother, a demon just as horrible as Grendel, he appears more mature. Unlike his first battle with Grendel where Beowulf traveled to volunteer his services to King Hrothgar to kill a monster only for the glory and joy of it, he is now enticed into battle by a desperate king in exchange for gold and other riches. King Hrothgar makes his plea on lines 1378-1382, "The gap of...

Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: Virtual vs. Face-to-Face Tutoring, Which Should I Choose?
You have made the decision to find a tutor for your child. But which type of tutoring would best suit your child's needs? There are some factors for you to consider when deciding whether your child would do best with online or face-to-face tutoring. For example, does your child enjoy working on the computer? Is he comfortable using the mouse and keyboard? He doesn't have to be a speedy typist, but he shouldn't feel hampered by trying to find the letters on the keyboard, either. Can your child sit for the prescribed amount of time? Do you have a reliable Internet connection? If, after thinking about these factors, you feel that these factors are agreeable in your child's favor, an online program may be an option worthy of consideration for your child to have tutoring.

November 5, 2002
Rockville, Maryland -- The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has proposed in the September-October 2002 Pharmacopeial Forum 28(5) revisions to the General Chapters <2040> Disintegration and Dissolution of Nutritional Supplements and <2091> Weight Variation of Nutritional Supplements in the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary
USP proposed revisions to General Chapter <2040> Disintegration and Dissolution of Nutritional Supplements because of comments stating that performance characteristics for dietary supplements in soft gelatin capsules are not appropriately measured by the disintegration test. Due to this, USP has adopted a rupture test and decided to publish this proposed revision to the General Chapter <2040> in the PF.
In addition, the intention of the proposed revisions to General Chapter <2091> Weight Variation of Nutritional Supplements is to change the chapter's title to Uniformity of Dietary Supplement Intake Units. The requirement for weight variation is currently the only official USP standard for uniformity of nutritional supplements units.
"We decided to change the chapter's title since content uniformity was not adopted at the time of the current chapter's inception," said Dr. Gabriel Giancaspro, scientist at USP. "The USP Expert Committees on Dietary Supplements decided that content uniformity is a very important attribute for dietary products, from both the consumer and good manufacturing practices points of view."
To reduce the analytical burden that content uniformity measurement entails, the USP committees are proposing a hierarchy of index vitamins and minerals to determine this property. In this simplified approach, for a combination vitamin/mineral product, only a representative vitamin and mineral are analyzed. This approach represents a significant improvement over using weight variation only. The USP Expert Committees on Dietary Supplements encourage interested parties to submit data along with comments on these proposals to USP.
Comments on the revisions made to the General Chapters should be addressed and mailed by Feb. 17, 2003 to Dr. Gabriel Giancaspro at USP, 12601 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20852. Additional questions pertaining to manufacturing practices for dietary supplements can be e-mailed to [email protected].

Three people were killed in car crashes in South Florida early Thursday — including one man who survived an initial crash only to get run over by another car.
The first tragedy happened at 1:35 a.m. in front of Bayside Marketplace. According to Miami police, a man was trying to cross Biscayne Boulevard at Northeast Fourth Street when he was struck by a taxi cab. Attempts to revive the man failed, and the cab took off.
Police later identified the taxi as Yellow Cab #532, with license plate ACU E95. After hitting the victim, the taxi continued north on the boulevard, police said. Early Thursday afternoon they were trying to retrieve video.
The name of the dead man has not been released because his family had not yet been notified.
Late Thursday afternoon police found the taxi they believe was involved in the accident. It was found unoccupied at 119th Street and Biscayne Boulevard.
By 9 p.m. Miami police spokeswoman Frederica Burden said there had not been any arrests and detectives will soon begin to collect evidence from the cab.
The other incident took place two hours later and about 30 miles north.
Plantation police said it was about 3 a.m. when a Ford truck slammed into a light pole on South Pine Island Road and Peters Road. The passenger was ejected and died on impact. The driver survived and managed to crawl out of the vehicle — only to get struck by a car that kept on going.
Police identified the passenger as 37-year-old Jennifer Catherine Jacon and the driver as 31-year-old Patrick Michael Kallman. Kallman died on the way to the hospital.
Miami Herald news partner CBS4 reported that a Plantation police officer heard the crash and rushed to the scene.
"When he got out he observed two people lying in the street," Plantation Fire Department spokesman Jeff Gordon told the station. "We responded and found a female who was dead on arrival who had apparently been ejected from the pickup truck. We also found a male several feet north of the vehicle who was listed as a level 1 trauma alert."
Police are looking for the driver of the small white or light-colored older model car that hit Kallman. They said the car will likely have damage on the left side.
