Francis "Frank" Miner was born in 1808 most likely near the mountainous border of Fayette/ Somerset County, PA, the son of Daniel and Mary Minor Sr. He was a carpenter who helped build an important church near Ohio's capitol of Columbus, is mentioned in a history of the city, and later was a pioneer settler of Central Illinois who dropped dead on the streets of Chicago during the Civil War. As a boy, Francis moved with his parents to Sego, Perry County, OH. Tragically, Francis' mother died when he was five. His father later remarried, to Margaret "Peggy" Fluckey, and moved to Cardington, Morrow County, OH. It's not known whether Francis went with his father and stepmother to Cardington.
Francis must have received some elementary education during his growing up years, because he is known to have been able to write and to sign his own name. His signature is seen here. Francis was married twice. His first wife was Myra Jordan (1809-1855), a native of Maine, and the daughter of Joseph and Abigail Lowe (Brown) Jordan. Myra's great-grandfather, James Jordan (1746-1813) served in the American Revolution in Falmouth, Maine, in Capt. Abner Lowell's company. Many years later, one of Myra's grandsons was accepted to the Sons of the American Revolution for that soldier. The Miners' six daughters were Sarah Boyd, Abigail Harriet Miner, Alta Alma Miner, Lucinda Maria Davidson, Salina Myra "Lina" Morris and Ellen Amaret Stillman Holt Morris.
Francis and Myra resided in a variety of places, including Perry County, OH; Elmwood, IL; Licking County, OH and Columbus, Franklin County, OH. Records show that in 1835, they were living in Licking County at the birth of their daughter Abigail. (Francis' brothers Jacob and Solomon also are known to have lived in Licking County.) While in Licking County, Francis and his father in law were co-executors of the estate of Samuel Brown (relationship unknown). By 1837, Francis and Myra had moved to Columbus, where daughter Alta was born. There, as recorded in the 1850 census, they made their home in the city's Fourth Ward. Also living in their household that year were Mercy C. Conner (age 20), Ann Goldsmith (age 21) and Elmira Buhurd (age 18), but their relationship to the Miners is unknown.
Francis' brother Daniel Minor Jr., a carriage maker, lived in Columbus at the same time, and it's thought the two brothers worked together on building projects. In the mid-1840s, Francis and Daniel's business partner, Ezra Booth, were involved in the construction of Wesley Chapel in Columbus. It was located along High Street, north of the intersection of Gay Street. The impressive chapel is seen here in a rare old postcard view, although this needs to be confirmed. According to the 1892 book, History of the City of Columbus: Wesley Chapel was organized as a society, and its first church edifice was built, in 1845-6, while Granville Moody was pastor of Town Street. The cost of the church was from seven to eight thousand dollars. Robert Raridan, William Armstrong and Ezra Booth were the building committee. Francis Minor was the contractor. The lot was given by William and Hannah Neil... When first completed the church was dedicated by Bishop E.S. Janes, in September, 1847. Triple tragedy struck the family in 1854 and 1855, when daughters Abigail (age 20, tuberculosis) and Alta (age 17, inflammatory rheumatism) died. Later in 1855, on Oct. 11, Myra herself passed away, also a victim of TB, then known as "consumption." All three women were buried at Columbus' large Greenlawn Cemetery.
The cemetery today has records of the Miner burials, but the graves are not marked, and there are no markers on the plot at all. A 1996 visit to the cemetery confirmed this fact -- researcher Eugene Podraza, seen here, stands within the vacant plot. However, directly across the road from the plot is the tall, prominent grave marker of Francis' brother Daniel Minor Jr. Following Myra's death, Francis and his daughters migrated west in about 1857and settled in the town of Lewistown, Fulton County. When the federal census was taken in 1860, the 53-year-old Francis was living there, with his youngest daughter 15-year-old Salina also a member of the household. He was employed as a carpenter at the time. Francis and his son in law William Boyd jointly purchased six town lots in Lewistown on Feb. 24, 1858. For the record, they numbered lots 189, 190, 191, 222, 223 and 224.
Francis visited back home in Ohio at Christmas 1858. On Dec. 27, 1858, while in Cardington, he received a payment of $20.29, and $1.47 in interest, as his equal share of his father's estate. He signed a receipt (seen here) acknowledging the payment. As his brothers and sisters had received payments more than a year earlier, added to the fact the he received interest on the amount due, he must have been unavailable to return from Illinois to collect his funds, until late 1858. On Sept. 26, 1861, Francis married Ann Thompson (1836-1888) in Fulton County. She was of English birth, but when she came to this country has not yet been learned. At age 53, Francis was twice the age of his 25-year-old bride. In fact, Ann would have been about the same age as Francis' older daughters. A local landmark that would have been familiar to the Miners was the Dickson's mound builders tombs, where skeletons of neolithic age Native American burials were found. More than 225 sets of remains were found, and left in place, just a few miles from Lewistown. Today the site is known as the Dickson Mounds Museum.
At some point, Ann gave birth to their baby, but the child died in infancy, and the name is not recorded in Fulton County records. Tragedy struck again in 1860, when Francis' married daughter, Sarah Boyd, died at age "after a protracted and painful illness of consumption," said the Fulton County Ledger.
In August 1863, possibly suffering from poor health, Francis wrote his will, leaving everything to Ann, except in the event that she would remarry, when all of his assets would transfer to his daughters and their families. About that time, Francis and Ann and the youngest daughter Ella moved to Chicago, Cook County, for reasons unknown, but perhaps for construction work opportunities. Tragedy struck again during the winter of 1864. On Feb. 16, 1864, while "standing upon the side-walk awaiting the coming of the horse cars," said the Fulton County Ledger, "he suddenly fell to the walk and expired immediately." Added the Fulton County Democrat, later reprinted by the Canton (IL) Weekly: "A Dr. Warner was called and arrived in a few moments upon the sport; but all efforts to resuscitate life proved fruitless." The particulars of Francis's funeral and burial are unknown, except that his remains were returned to Lewistown for burial in a local "graveyard." Ann and Ella returned to Lewistown to rebuild their lives. Francis and Ann had only been married for two-and-a-half years at the time of his death. In November of that year, she bought another town lot from Erasmus D. Rice, guardian of Emma and Cora Phelps. In January 1886, Ann purchased a town lot in nearby Bernadotte, Fulton County, where she apparently established a millinery shop. The census of 1870 shows her residing alone in Bernadotte with the occupation of "milliner."
In about 1875, Ann moved her millinery shop back to Lewistown, purchasing a town lot. he was residing alone there when the federal census was enumerated in 1880.
Knowing the sudden fate that had befallen her husband, Ann wrote her own will, dated May 10, 1878. In it, she bequeathed equal shares to her stepdaughters Lina Morris and Ella Stillman; to her step-granddaughters Carrie and Ida Boyd; and to her Thompson nieces Josephine, Nancy, Eliza, Lucinda and Agnes (daughters of her brother Charles). She bequeathed her stock of merchandise and IOUs to the same group; and her music box to stepdaughter Ella Stillman. She also directed that her executor "have me burried and to have my husband Francis Miner and my infant child, both now burried in the graveyard in Lewistown, disinterred and burried by my side and also to have slabs of cheap sandstone procured large enough to cover the graves and also to have cheap tombstones or headstones put to each grave with a short and appropriate epitaph on each. I also direct my executor to put an iron fence around said burrial lot..." Finally, she stated that her executor should take control of her affairs following her death, and that "none of my kinsman of the Thompson family shall be sent for or apprised of my death or in any way interfere with any of my affairs or property after my death." She appointed Henry Phelps of Lewistown as the executor. On July 13, 1880, after more than six years as a widow, Ann married her second husband, William H. Walder (1827- ? ). The Fulton County Ledger mentioned the event in a one-sentence brief: "On Tuesday evening, by the Rev. John Tuit, Mr. Wm. Walder to Miss Ann Miner."
A fellow native of England, William also resided in Lewistown where he was a "tobacconist." In June 1882, she modified her will, naming William as the executor, and stating that he would inherit her property. Both John and Ann passed away just a few weeks apart in the spring of 1888. He died on May 24, and she died in June 1888, at the age of 52. Local undertaker E.T. Moore prepared the "coffin box" and trimmings for her burial in the Lewistown Cemetery. J.C. Wagy & Co. installed the monument over her grave, and installed the iron fence, per the terms of her will. As the contents of Ann's millinery shop were extensive, and apparently unclaimed a year after her death, a sheriff's sale was held in June 1889 to dispose of them -- "pictures, picture frames, looking glasses and sundry other articles of stock in trade," stated a flyer that was posted about town. Ann's grave, an upright shaft listing to one side -- seen here -- was discovered by the founder of this website and researcher Eugene F. Podraza during a visit to Lewistown in October 2007. The lettering is badly faded. The marker stands a short distance from the "Lincoln Columns" which originally were part of the county courthouse, but relocated to the cemetery following a disastrous fire.

King Lear
William Shakespeare
This is the final play at the Almeida directed by Jonathan Kent. He seems to have deliberately pulled together a team, both acting and backstag, with which he is very familiar. This is one of the strengths of this production.
Designer Paul Brown won various awards last year for his outstanding set for Platonov. There is a fair possibility that he will get almost as many for King Lear. The whole auditorium is surrounded by dark wood panelling and at the start of the play, we see what appears to be a room in a palace in the 1930s. By the end, Lear's disintegration is paralleled by that of the stage and, more surprisingly, the theatre space itself.
The initial impression is that Oliver Ford Davies' Lear, drawling like Michael Gambon, is being likened to another king that gave up his kingdom, Edward VIII. This impression is enhanced by the use of television screens around the auditorium which show the speech where he gives up his country. He is surrounded by men in three-piece suits and ladies in sumptuous, sexy evening dress.
Kent seems to have striven for a complete contrast between the good and the bad characters. Ford Davies, David Ryall as Gloucester and Tom Hollander as Edgar are all portrayed as pathetic but very sympathetic characters. The acting from each of these is very strong as they are beaten down and down by unjustifiably trusted relatives.
The wicked characters also make a great impression. In particular, the insincere sisters, Suzanne Burden as Goneril and Lizzie McInerney as Regan, are often evil personified. One slight issue is that on occasions, they, together with James Frain's Edmund, seem a little smug in a way they can appear melodramatic.
One of Jonathan Kent's strengths is that he creates remarkable dramatic images. When the theatre collapses and poor Lear appears on the blasted heath with his Fool, the audience is stunned. This is substantially due to the contrast between Palace and bleak heath and to Mark Henderson's eerie lighting. Similarly, as Gloucester is interrogated and tortured by a princess, Regan and her husband, the feeling of horror is intense.
The overall impression that most people will have after seeing this play is of incredible humanity. Oliver Ford Davies beautifully demonstrates Lear's suffering at the hands of his daughters and his descent into a very believable madness is painful to behold. This must then be contrasted with the evil that can occur within families where greed is to the fore.
There are many reasons for seeing this production. The acting particularly from Oliver Ford Davies and Tom Hollander is heart rending but touching, the direction is sharp and action constant, and once again the cost of a ticket is almost justified by Paul Brown's set alone.

Tacoma native and UW grad Albert Rosellini made history when he became governor of Washington in 1957, becoming the first Italian-American and Catholic governor elected west of the Mississippi River. What you probably know as the 520 Bridge is officially called the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge as he helped shepherd it into existence. Now that you've got your history lesson for the day, know that the reason we bring it up is because Rosellini's former home in Windermere is on the market asking $2.3M. The mid-century house sits on a perched corner lot and offers plenty of views and space for entertaining, as you figure a governor must do. Built in 1950, it certainly still feels like 1950, so keep in mind it's a lot more mid-century than modern. The lower level is it's own separate living quarters and the home includes a three-car garage, so gather up the family cause there's plenty of room for everyone here.

Secret sharing scheme is a technique to share secret data into n pieces based on a simple (k, n) threshold scheme. However, the problem with Shamir's secret sharing scheme is that they do not provide any way to verify that the dealer was honest and the shares were indeed valid. This problem also occurr in the Thien and Lin's image secret sharing or the Li Bai's construction using matrix projection. On the other hand, a developed protocol for secret sharing called verifiable secret sharing allows every participant to validate their received piece to confirm the authenticity of the secret. Therefore, this paper discussed a proposed scheme based on verifiable secret sharing, in which the matrix projection is used to create image shares and a public matrix from watermark image. The secrets were represented in elements of a square matrix. The watermark image was used for verifiability where the reconstructed watermark image verifies the accuracy of the reconstructed secret image.

Ontario university students travel to Queen's Park, meet with Kathleen Wynne to incite changes on mental health care, financial accessibility
TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Student leaders representing over 140,000 undergraduate and professional students are traveling to Queen's Park to meet with Premier Kathleen Wynne, Deputy Premier Deb Matthews, and the Opposition Leader (as well as party critics, MPPs, and Ministers) Representatives from the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) will sit in more than sixty meetings and ask for improved front-line student health support, streamlined student financial aid, and improved access to work-integrated learning opportunities.
Student advocates are asking for the government to focus education spending on students who are most in need; specifically, to cease issuing education tax credits and redirect those savings into existing student financial aid programs. Jen Carter, President of OUSA, argues that tax credits most benefit high-income students and their parents, instead of low-income students most burdened by debt.
"We want the Ontario government to invest in education, but we especially want the government to be smart in how they make those investments," says Carter. "The Government of Ontario is spending 340 million on tax credits, which simply don't help the students who are most in need of financial assistance. OUSA has proposals- like removing interest from student loans, increasing the OSAP living allowance- that could serve as a much more effective alternatives for improving student accessibility."
Additionally, students are calling for targeted funding for front-line health support for students, ideally with the creation of campus community health teams. University-aged students have elevated need for mental health services, among other unique health needs. By centralizing care, students believe that both wait times and confusion around service referrals could be drastically reduced.
"Especially in light of recent media coverage about sexual assault on campuses, the need for front line support and counseling services on campuses is pressing," says Rodrigo Narro Perez, OUSA Steering Committee member and Vice President Education at McMaster University. "Our proposal to create campus health teams would create a "one-stop shop" for all the health and mental health services students need as well as alleviate the demand for a much-needed resource."
In addition to financial accessibility and health care, student representatives are lobbying for government to invest in more in-study work-integrated learning, like co-ops, paid internships, or service learning. They will be advocating in Queen's Park until Wednesday of this week.
About the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA)
OUSA represents the interests of over 140,000 professional and undergraduate, full- and part-time university students at eight member associations across Ontario.

aespa's latest single "Hold On Tight" – released on March 31 – is a part of Apple Original Film's Tetris soundtrack, which comprises of 15 other songs from various artists, including the lead single "Benevolence" by Aaron Hibell. Using the familiar sound fans have come to recognize from the famous arcade game, the K-pop girl group delivered a song that does justice to its original inspiration.
Alongside the girls' impressive vocals, the techno track's upbeat melody has been praised for its fresh sound even though it samples age-old music.
The lyrics also help to drive the sci-fi nature of the sound, which features a pulsating electro groove, and the vocals by instructing listeners to imagine what it would feel like to buckle up and going on the ride of our lives. "Baby, you and me are a twisted fantasy / Buckle up and take a seat, hold on tight," Ningning sings in the intro.
"Situation critical, it's heavy / A million blocks of obstacles, you help me / See a different POV (Givin' back all my) / Faith in a catastrophe (It's alright)," the first verse, with its curious little homage to Tetris – "a million blocks of obstacles" – sounds like something we can expect to hear in an action movie.
"Keep on movin' (Movin') / Beat the system, autopilot cruisin' (Cruising) / Tunnel vision victory, no losin' (Losin') / Heaven knows it's one hell of a ride / Better hold on tight, better hold on tight / For your life," the pre-chorus continues with its lyrics inspiring a sense of adventure. The lyrics are said to reflect the protagonist's rough journey to Tetromino.
"Hold On Tight" is accompanied by a visualizer that sees colored Tetris blocks falling on a picture of the girls, who are rocking combat-ready attires. The music interpolates two nineteenth-century Russian folk songs more commonly known as themes from the Tetris games – "Kalinka", written by Ivan Larionov, who is credited on the track due to the sample, and "Korobeiniki." Alongside Ivan Larionov, Aaron Hibell, Boy Matthews, Dave LaBrel, and Georgia Ku also worked on the track as writers, with Hibell producing the track.
Apart from the song lacking a bridge, fans are also wishing that it was a little longer. However, many have confessed that they've had it on a loop since hearing it for the first time.
It seems right to have aespa on a video game-inspired song, as each of the girls remarkably exists as an avatar in the virtual world.
Directed by Jon S. Baird, Tetris is a biographical thriller film that follows Henk Rogers, who discovers the game and risks everything in order to make it accessible to the masses.

Tom Aspinall Proposes Mixed-Rules Bout For Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou Clash
UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall believes that Tyson Fury should take on Francis Ngannou in a mixed-rules contest.
Taking a page from ONE Championship's playbook, Fury's former teammate Tom Aspinall suggested a hybrid ruleset for the crossover fight. Aspinall proposed the idea of having rules change between rounds much like the recent MMA/Muay Thai showdown between Rodtang and Demetrious Johnson at ONE X.
Tom Aspinall recommends mixed-rules for Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou
Following Fury's latest win over Dillian Whyte, Francis Ngannou walked into the ring as the pair promoted the idea of the possible megafight. One major sticking point in regard to their matchup has been the ruleset that would be utilized for such a unique showing.
To his credit, Fury has expressed his willingness to wear MMA gloves which are considerably smaller in size than the traditional boxing mitts but hasn't spoken about much of a change in the standard boxing rules.
According to rising contender Aspinall, a match like the Rodtang-Johnson one, where the rules changed from MMA to Muay-Thai between rounds, would make more sense for Fury's clash with Ngannou. Having just one sport dictate the rules can heavily skew the odds against the other sportsman.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Tom Aspinall recommended ways how to make the crossover fight work. Aspinall suggested the addition of a new technique from MMA as the rounds progressed.
"Little gloves, for sure, and five-minute rounds, that would definitely make it a little bit even. I think they should do first round boxing only. Second round, maybe, boxing and low kicks.
"And third round, I don't know, boxing, low kicks, and clinching. I think something like that would make it a bit more even."
Aspinall talked about how Fury has trained grappling in the past with other MMA stars like Darren Till at the gym.
"I've grappled with him [Fury] before," Aspinall explained. "He's interested in it. So, I know he's done bits of grappling, bits of kicks, and all that. He was down in our gym training with Darren Till before, doing kicks on the pads and all that stuff. So, he's definitely got interest in it. I don't know. I'd love to see it, though." (h/t Mirror)
Ngannou has been in a deadlock with the UFC regarding the terms of his next contract. If the heavyweight king chooses not to resign with the promotion, 'The Predator' could become a free agent next year to make the fight with Fury happen.

Receding Gums-The Condition You Don't Find out about
Your dentist should be consulted if you have pain in your gums.
Painful, tender, red gums could be signs and symptoms of receding gums or gum problems caused by several factors, including poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, genetics, and gum disease.
- Painful gums
- Tooth Sensitivity
- Red and Swollen Gums
- Gum Bleeding
Gum disease can lead to receding gums and jawbone damage, indicating a gradual tooth decay. Some cases of pain or soreness may be caused by hormone changes in pregnancy.
Factors behind painful gums
Here are some ways to cause painful gums.
- Gum Abscess
- Infection
- Dental Treatment
- Tooth alignment problems
- Excessive brushing
- Bleeding Gums
- Improper Diet
- Dentures
- Poor Oral Hygiene
- Tartar Buildup
- Sensitive and painful teeth
- Tooth Loss
- Gum Injury
Receding Gums
Gum recession happens when the margins of a person's gum tissue fall back from their tooth. This exposes more of the gums and teeth. Gum recession is when the gums recede. This can leave a gap between your tooth and gum that can be dangerous for your health.
Receding gums could cause permanent health problems by affecting the function of your teeth.
Receding Gums: Signs or symptoms
Receding gums can also cause swelling and pain in the gums. Receding gums will gradually progress and you will start to notice the following signs:
➢ Long Teeth
The common sign may be the lengthening or deterioration of teeth. They appear to grow in size if the gums around teeth recede from periodontal diseases.
➢ Exposed Tooth Roots & Tooth Sensitivity
Exposures to the roots of their teeth can cause discomfort and pain for many patients. These may be due to periodontal disease, such as gum disease and bruxism (teeth grind), which may be caused by overbrushing with a stiff toothbrush.
➢ Loose teeth
When you have receding gums, your teeth may become loose because of the bacteria and periodontal problems below the gum line. Recession can worsen if left untreated. This will lead to more gum pockets.
Gum Recession Causes
Here are some of the possible causes of gum recession.
Gum (Periodontal) diseases
These conditions are not typically due to bacteria but instead cause gum infections which promote gums receding. Gum disease can be the main cause of gum recession because it is caused by bacteria in the mouth and results in inflammation leading to falling teeth.
The first stages of periodontal (gum disease) are often not noticeable and painless.
You may experience minor symptoms such as:
- Red or Inflamed Gums
- Tender Gums
- Chronic Halitosis or Bad Breath
- Bleeding gums
Some people are more vulnerable to severe gum disease than others. Research suggests that around 30% of individuals are predisposed to gum disease. This is despite having good oral hygiene.
Aggressive brushing
If you brush too hard or incorrectly with a hard-bristled toothbrush, it causes bleeding gums, your gum tissue to recede, and tooth enamel to wear away.
Poor Dental Care
The incorrect brushing, flossing or washing your mouth with antibacterial toothpaste can cause plaque to buildup and tartar to buildup.
Hormone Levels
Hormone changes like puberty, pregnancy, or menopause could make your gums sensitive and prone to gum recession. One of the many factors that can affect gum sensitivity in a woman's life is Estrogen.
Tobacco Products
Gum recession could be caused by smoking. Consuming tobacco services and products can boost your chances of having dental health problems.
Teeth grinding and clenching
Teeth grinding can put unnecessary pressure on the teeth, causing gums to recede. Bruxism (or teeth grinding) could cause gum recede and aggrave your gums.
Crooked Teeth, or Misaligned Bite
If teeth do not align correctly, excess pressure can be exerted on the gums or neighboring bones, leading to the gums retracting.
Natural treatments for Gum Problems
These natural remedies might help with painful gums.
➢ Oil pulling
Oil pulling can be used as a way to reduce the chance of developing recession. Use coconut oil for 10 minutes in the morning. It could kill bacteria and remove food particles. Once you've done this, rinse your mouth with warm running water and then brush your teeth.
➢ Warm salt water
It really is a common, natural, and effective way to clean your skin layer. Salt water is a natural disinfectant and can be applied to your mouth for up 30 seconds. It will heal bleeding gums and other gum problems related to bacteria.
➢ Brushing & Flossing
If you need a healthy mouth, regular brushing and flossing are necessary. Make use of a soft-bristled toothbrush if you have sensitive and painful gums. This will help prevent tooth loss and receding gums.
Professional Treatment Options
If the recession is not at an early stage and causing symptoms, such as for example tooth sensitivity, pain, or infection, then treatments such as deep cleaning, root planing, medicating infections, and tissue grafts ought to be done to stop receding gums.
Gum Surgery
Receding gums could indicate that you'll require surgical intervention to alleviate your pain. Your dental hygienist or dentist can provide medical advice regarding the treatment options.
One common treatment for receding teeth is always to elect a graft. In this procedure, doctors take tissue from the roof or inside of your cheeks to improve the gum line.
The other most popular treatments are pinhole gum rejuvenation procedures, which really is a procedure that will gently address the original positioning of your tooth and gums. This procedure requires only 1 day of recovery.
Receding gums is painful and embarrassing.

There is a handful of unique items in Diablo 4 that can be used by any character. Naturally, these pieces of gear will be a high priority for players, as they offer some of the best stats of any item in the game. If you're looking for an item to truly buff your resource generation and healing received, then you will want to go after the Melted Heart of Selig in Diablo 4.
The Melted Heart of Selig is a unique Amulet and it has an item power of 820. It's considered one of the rarest Amulets in Diablo 4, and for good reason. The Amulet offers resistance to elements, stat increases across the board and added core skill damage, damage while healthy, and resource generation.
In addition to those affixes, the Legendary Aspect on the Amulet has the following effect: "Gain 30 percent Maximum Resource. Also, when you take damage, drain [3-6] Resource for every one percent of Life you would have lost instead." It's an incredibly useful Amulet in Diablo 4, and I will explain exactly how to acquire it in the guide below.
Getting the Melted Heart of Selig in Diablo 4
First and foremost, you will need to be playing on World Tier 4 and be at least level 82 in Diablo 4. The Melted Heart of Selig only drops from enemies that are level 85 and above, so those requirements are necessary for you to have any chance of looting the Amulet. You can attempt to play with friends of a higher level if you haven't met that requirement, but the enemies will be incredibly difficult to beat.
As you might have expected, there is no concrete way to acquire the Melted Heart of Selig. It is a random loot drop in Diablo 4, meaning you have to rely on luck in order to equip it on your build. I suggest doing Helltide events and Nightmare Dungeons for the best chances of seeing the Amulet as a loot drop.
You can also complete regular dungeons, participate in World Events, and simply play Diablo 4 as normal to acquire the Melted Heart of Selig.

With Loki set to wrap its first season up later this week, fans are eager to uncover the secrets of the Time Variance Authority. We were just as confused as Loki on what was going on when he got dragged into the organization's offices for the first time. Luckily, Miss Minutes, who is a living animated clock just bursting with southern charm, explained their origin.
Minutes is voiced by none other than the famous voice actress Tara Strong. She is no stranger to superhero stories, as she worked on Teen Titans, Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, and famously voices Harley Quinn in many different shows. In a recent interview with our very own Charles Murphy, Strong revealed just how different the audition process behind this project was compared to others.
You know initially in the audition, when I get an audition it'll have a drawing of the character, a character description, a show bible with what this world was all about, and I didn't get any of that for Miss Minutes. In fact, I called my agent to learn more about her, because everything I get feeds into how I go into creating an audition and I auditioned first in my home studio and they couldn't get anymore information. I didn't even know what show I was auditioning for.
With so much mystery surrounding this process, she mentioned how she navigated her way through this process and how Miss Minutes was created. It seems she and director Kate Herron built upon her initial pitch without knowing fully what character she is going to play.
So, I'll take between ten minutes or three hours 'till I get it exactly how I want it and they said to try one with an accent. So, I did this sort of Southern Belle and they really liked that and then it wasn't 'till I booked it that I knew what it was and then working on the Zoom with Kate and them playing me which audition they really liked and we worked on that collabratively to get it exactly where Miss Minutes is now.
Strong's charming take on the character sure won fans over as she quickly became loved by fans of the show. We'll see if we get more of Miss Minutes in the upcoming finale, but with her origin still remaining a mystery, there's still a lot we can learn about the character.

Yankees' injury updates: Judge, Sanchez
OF (wrist) continuing to feel discomfort; C (groin) to resume running
NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge is continuing to experience discomfort in his fractured right wrist and has been unable to resume swinging a bat, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who indicated that the outfielder will need longer than an initial estimate of three weeks to return to game action.
"He still feels it a little bit," Boone said. "He's not at the point where he's picking up a bat yet, but I feel like we are getting close to that point, hopefully."
Judge sustained a chip fracture of the wrist when he was hit by a pitch from the Royals' Jakob Junis on July 26. Judge was batting .285/.398/.548 with 26 homers and 61 RBIs in 99 games.
The club had hoped Judge would be able to resume swinging a bat during the series in Chicago. He ran the bases and continued range-of-motion exercises at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, and he saw a physician prior to Thursday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. But he was told that the fracture is still not healed, and he is unaware of when he will be able to start swinging a bat.
"Oh yeah, there's going to be discomfort for a while," Judge said. "It's still fractured. So, just got to wait until it heals up, and then we can start moving forward with some hitting and throwing and stuff like that."
"Once the pain is out of there, then it's go," Boone said. "I believe it'll move fast from there, because he's been able to lift, he's been able to do all his conditioning. We've just got to get to that point. When that pain is all out of there at that end range of motion, then he gets a bat in his hand, and I think it progresses pretty quickly from there."
The Yankees did receive encouraging reports regarding Gary Sanchez, who is continuing his rehab from a strained right groin at the team's player development complex in Tampa, Fla.
Sanchez aggravated the injury in a July 23 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field, at which time general manager Brian Cashman outlined the catcher's likely return as late August or early September. Boone said that Sanchez is scheduled to resume on-field running, and he has been doing tee, toss and throwing activities with no issues.
"He's going to stay in Tampa through the weekend because we have the two day games," Boone said. "It's just better work days for him there. He's due to head back up here Sunday night, and then hopefully start getting out on the field with us and moving around, starting to do his catching stuff. Hopefully he'll start to take off from there."
Gleyber day
Gleyber Torres was out of the lineup for Thursday's series opener, with Boone looking to spell some of the regulars through the team's stretch of 20 games without an off-day.
Torres' production has cooled since returning from a right hip strain. He was 3-for-24 (.125) with nine strikeouts during the seven-game road trip, though he did work seven walks and hit a home run. In 14 games since being activated, Torres is batting .188 with three homers and 10 RBIs.
"I feel like he's starting to find his timing a little more," Boone said. "I thought his at-bats [Wednesday] were good. … The good thing is, through this stretch where we've had some extra-inning games, some long games, he's bounced back pretty well, so that's been encouraging. To see him even last night getting a stolen base, I feel like he's running the bases well. I think they're all encouraging signs. Hopefully he can further benefit from getting a day here."

Alfa Romeo Giulia undergoes battery installation
The Alfa Romeo Giulia built up by Romeo Ferraris team for the inaugural PURE ETCR season is set to start on-track testing after the installation of the special battery was concluded.
The work was completed alongside Williams Advanced Engineering and Magalec, and will allow the Giulia to join the Hyundai Veloster and the CUPRA eRacer in taking to the track, with the first run for the car set to come at Vallelunga.
The team has already named Stefano Coletti as driver for the programme.
"The successful installation of the battery on the Giulia ETCR completed the long process of designing the car," operations manager Michela Cerruti said. "It hasn't been easy, as we have faced numerous obstacles of logistical nature, but our crews have performed a perfect job. I am personally quite happy because for a private manufacturer like ours, this is a gigantic step and I feel proud of the work and dedication of our staff.
"In truth, the most challenging part starts now, as we will have to fight again against larger companies who had fewer time constraints. By the way, as we've shown in the past, we are aware that we have the competence and the resources to race on a top level and look forward to the forthcoming weeks with great determination".

Power, character and competence – these are the alpha-characteristics that the perfect office glasses must convey. Fancy experimental styles are out of place here. Instead, timeless classics like the Ray Ban Clubmaster are more suitable for office life. They flatter almost any shape of face, suit both men and women and have a place on the all-time favourite eyewear styles list, and rightly so.
For Sportsmen and Women
Whether it's snowboarding, surfing, skating or downhill mountain biking, Oakley eyewear has become an integral feature of the faces of athletes worldwide. No wonder – the brand not only impresses with its high functionality and glass quality, but it's also always up to date in terms of style. The Oakley Sutro is a prime example of how sports eyewear is not just for sports, but can be a real it-piece.

The fact that wood can be one of the most beautiful and sustainable materials has long been known, and not only by interior designers and carpenters. Today, there are toothbrushes, smartphone covers and even jackets made of wood fibres. The Munich-based eyewear designers at Wood Fellas go one step further and use leftover wood from furniture manufacturers, which would otherwise be thrown away, for their prescription glasses and sunglasses frames. The result is not only praiseworthy, it is above all extremely stylish, as the Wood Fellas Sendling Premium model proves.
For Minimalists
Calvin Klein's nickname as the "Master of Minimalism" is entirely justified, which is why not only his lingerie collections but also CK Eyewear are timeless marvels. Calvin Klein's CK20305-680, with its soft shape and pastel nude tone, is a must-have for both men and women who like a minimalist, tidy and Scandinavian-clean look.
For Collectors
Want to avoid always wearing the same glasses for business outfits and celebrations? After all, you don't just have one pair of shoes! That's why VOOY is the perfect brand for people who like to go with the flow, slip into different roles – or who simply want to show off a different style from day to day. VOOY prescription glasses and sunglasses are only available in a double pack, whether two pairs of prescription glasses, two pairs of sunglasses or mixed. The perfect gift for those who can never make up their mind. In this case, brand ambassador Samy Deluxe has chosen the VOOY Freestyle in an elegant black.

Anyone who has more than five dioptres knows this: the lenses become heavy, they become unpleasantly thick at the edges, and you have a problem when it comes to choosing the frame.

Along with its high-index lenses, their wearer will look and feel radiant.
For Gamers
A round of Fortnite in the lunch break, a quick check of Instagram in between and Netflix galore before going to sleep – if you can't sleep then you've probably been staring at blue flickering screens for a little too long. But for all the binge-watchers out there, there's an ingenious and simple solution: glasses with a blue light filter. Simply select the blue light filter when ordering prescription glasses (for example Levi's LS147-06) and the lenses are minimally tinted to block out the disturbing blue rays. Sleep tight!
For Speed Junkies
Few types of eyewear represent speed and sportiness as much as aviator glasses. The name Porsche Design also has the pulse of car and design fans racing. The P8508 by Porsche Design comes in silver with blue-mirrored lenses, scoring extra points with its sleek light frame.

[Editor's Note: Voice search, Alexa skills, and Google Assistant have emerged as a key elements in marketing and PR for many brands. This guest post by the former head of product at Amazon Alexa provides a technical perspective on concepts of designing conversational interfaces. The technical insights are mostly relevant to interface designers. However, they will also help PR and marketing pros who are developing Alexa skills to better understand interface design theory. The end section offers specific advice on how marketing and PR professionals can build Alexa skills that meet the needs of consumers and B2B customers.]
Many experts predict that voice-activated devices will revolutionize marketing. Sales of smart speakers have exploded. More and more people use voice search. More brands are creating Alexa skills and Google Assistant actions to add features and engage customers.
However, the common consensus among users and builders of voice first experiences is that voice presents users with a unique challenge not found in visual-tactile interfaces, such as texting, mobile apps, and web sites. This challenge is called "the problem of feature discovery." It refers to the difficulty a user experiences to "discover" (i.e., figure out) what they can and cannot do through the interface. In the case of voice, it is commonly posited that the challenge is acute because the channel of voice is not able to deliver simultaneously meaning content and affordance content. That makes it impossible for the user to consume meaning and know what to do to keep the interaction moving along.
For example, looking at the home screen of my Android smartphone, I can simultaneously see what apps are installed, today's date and time, that I have one text I have not read, and other notifications. I can also see what I can do: search Google, say, "Ok Google" to start Google Assistant, read the text, view notifications, and start Assistant.
Just looking at the screen, I can consume all of this information the screen presents and know everything I can do next.
In contrast, a voice interface cannot simultaneously answer a question and provide instructions on what I can do or say next. At best, it can first deliver the answer, and then instruct me or remind me on what I can say or do. Or less optimally, it can provide instructions first and then content (whether information, or a question, or both). In other words, the linear nature of information delivered via voice seems to decouple content information and affordance information.
So, it appears, at least in terms of affordance, the visual tactile interface is superior to the voice one.
A Second Look at the Interface
But is this really true? Is communicating affordances a tougher problem in voice than in the visual-tactile, or is the matter less obvious than that?
Let's take a second look at my Android home screen, but let's pretend that we had never seen a smartphone or a touchscreen before and that we've only seen televisions and laptops before.
What affordances would the screen naturally present? Would we know what the square meant and that we could click on them? No. The only actionable item on the screen is the imperative, "Say, 'OK Google'." But even then, what would we do if you were to read that? Would you really understand that it is a phrase that meant that we can speak to make something happen? Probably not.
In other words, to be able to interpret the information on the screen and act upon what we see, we must not only understand the symbols and the conventions, but established symbols and conventions must be in place that have been agreed upon by various manufacturers so that we could learn such semiotics to be able to glean content and well as actionable meaning from the shiny screen and then act accordingly. Without such an established convention and without our familiarity with it, we would be just as clueless staring at the screen as we would be upon hearing a voice assistant ask us: "How may I help you?"
Consider Human to Human Interactions
Secondly, consider how during our day to day we go about interacting with those who are near us and with whom we can speak face to face. The person with whom we are interacting doesn't tell us the things that we can say and those that we can't? Nor do we do the same for them.
Suppose you called your bank to wire money to a friend. You would begin the conversation with a perfunctory greeting. The agent would ask you for information to establish your identity and bank account information.
The agent will not ask you to pause so that he can recite to you all of the various things that he can do for you. You will probably not ask him: "Tell me all the things that you can do to help me?"
Both of you come to the conversation with two types of knowledge: general knowledge on the rules for properly engaging another human being in conversation, and knowledge about the types of things that one can ask a bank agent. Even though you do not have a list of everything you can ask the agent, you never really find yourself dealing with "the problem of discovery." The discovery problem is moot.
So, how does this insight help those who ideate, design, build and market voice interfaces — solve the "discovery problem"?
I think the simple answer is that there really is no "discovery problem," as such, that is inherent in the voice interface, but rather a problem of smuggling in our design thinking concepts that are particular to the voice-tactile UI and foreign to the voice UI.
Alexa Skills vs. Human Conversations
Let us compare human-to-human conversation to the sparse conversation with an Alexa skill. How often do you open a third-party skill with a clear goal about what you want to do and a detailed and deep understanding of what the skill can do? Probably not often. Instead, you start with a vague notion about why the skill exists, decide whether the skill is something that may help you solve a problem, and then launch it and hope for the best.
By the same token, how much does the skill know about what you want to do, how much time you are willing to spend doing it, how urgent it is for you to do it, and why you want to do it? Probably not much either. All that the skill really knows is that you may or may not have read its vague description on the Alexa skills store, and that you might be interested in using it.
When Alexa was launched in late 2014, it was able to do less than a handful of things. It was able to give you the time and the weather, play music, and answer questions as best that it could. It lacked the ability to control smart home devices, not even alarms or reminders.
And yet, the Amazon Echo was by far Amazon's best performing device ever, outpacing in customer satisfaction, by a healthy margin, its flagship Kindle product.
Why Amazon Echo was a Marketing Success
The answer is simple. Having seen its launch video, users began their interaction knowing exactly what to expect from it. They were highly satisfied because the device gave them what they asked for and gave it to them in a novel, exciting, and delightful way. The marketers of the Echo made sure that they communicated precisely what this new gizmo could do and what it could not do, and how the user was to interact with it. In other words, both the users and the device completely understood the context of their conversation and the actions that they could take to successfully engage with each other.
What does this mean for the product managers, designers, builders, and marketers of Amazon Alexa skills and Google Assistant actions?
First, we need to refrain from describing the challenge before us as one of "discovery," as if discoverability were an inherent attribute of the interface, but rather one that results from a basic lack of preparation work to deliver a great experience.
Second, before we begin designing, developing and marketing, we need to put in the research. It is unfathomable to me just how little research is done by most teams that launch voice experiences. They simply skip the foundation of what makes a voice experience a usable one, and start ideating on a white board, then designing (maybe) and developing.
Essential Questions to Guide Development of Alexa Skills
Here are the questions that should inform our research and information gathering:
- Why is the user launching the voice experience? The answer can't be, "To interact with the brand " or "To be entertained" or "To learn." The answer needs to be something far more specific, such as: "To remove stains from clothes" (Tide), "To order coffee" (Starbucks), "To check out how stocks are doing right now" (The Motley Fool), "To get investment tips" (TD Ameritrade), "To get an update from the mayor about the latest on COVID-19" (The City of Edina), "To find my phone" (Find my Phone). The research is all about the specific things that potential users want to do.
- What will users ask when they launch the voice experience? Here, we go to the next level of detail. Someone launching an Alexa skill to remove stains will ask about stains from coffee, wine, blood, olive oil, and so forth. They will ask about how to deal with stains depending on the fabric (wool, cotton, silk), the state of the stain (just occurred or has been there for a while), and so on. We want to recruit an expert on stain removal who will not only know the answers, but also the questions, in case the user doesn't know what questions to ask or how to present the problem.
- How will the user formulate their questions and requests? Here, we design the vocabulary and the language that will be used by users. By working with a well-defined focus, we can resolve ambiguity and understand intent. "I have a coffee stain on my tie. How do I remove it?" is perfectly understandable as an expression of the need to remove a coffee stain from a stained tie. There is no ambiguity. Similarly, "Tell me about Facebook" means, "Tell me about the Facebook stock" in the context of a stocks skill, and the latest headlines about Facebook in a headlines announcer skill, and the latest books that deal with "Facebook" the company in a book recommendation skill.
- How do I let the user know why the skill/action exists? The trick is to boil down the purpose of the skill to one sentence (semicolons not allowed). The reason why the skill exists should be boiled down to one coherent, clear sentence – or be in the name itself. (Find my Phone, Play Jeopardy). Then publish that one sentence on the store listing of the skill/action, to provide it in the opening prompt, especially for first time users and always in the help prompt: "I'm here to help you remove stains from your clothes," "I'm here to help you track your time." etc.
So, the next time you hear someone say, voice designers need to build for discoverability, challenge them with the proposition that the real challenge is not one of discovery through design, but one of functionality definition through solid product marketing research and iterative feature release definition and framing through sound product management.

It can't be underestimated just how valuable written correspondence was to society and individuals in the 1870s, which is why I included a passage in The Haweaters in which Anne Amer scours a letter she's received from an old friend in Owen Sound, attempting to wring every ounce of information from what appears on the page and what she believes to be written between the lines.
In the 1870s, letter writing was a crucial means of communication in Ontario. It would've been the primary way Manitoulin Island's earliest European settlers would've communicated with the friends and loved ones they left behind elsewhere in Ontario as well as in the countries they left to migrate to Canada. These handwritten letters were often meticulously laboured over and it was not uncommon for the author to go through several drafts before producing the version they would ultimately post.
And while the proliferation of railways meant the pace at which people and letters moved greatly sped up during this time period, correspondence between Manitoulin Island and the mainland continued to move at a snail's pace, largely because letters needed to be brought to the island by ship, which meant islanders living in Tekhummah were at the mercy of the lumbering operation at Michael's Bay to move the mail between the island and the mainland on one of the company's lumber hookers. Once on the island, letters would be delivered to a local farm where there would be a box in the front room from which neighbours could collect incoming letters and leave outgoing letters that would be retrieved the next time a mill employee came by. That would've happened fairly regularly from spring through fall, but winter was a different story. It wasn't uncommon for correspondence to stop for months at a time due to weather conditions that prevented ships from navigating to and from the island.
In addition to facilitating communication between loved ones, letters helped disseminate news and ideas. Local newspapers often published the contents of personal letters as firsthand accounts of events and tended to be filled with the sorts of stories that today we would consider gossip. Personal letters also carried political, economic, and social news, allowing islanders to stay informed about matters beyond the island.
The letters continue to have value today, revealing nuances of language, etiquette, and social norms that were prevalent at the time. The formal language and elaborate expressions reflect the politeness and propriety that was so highly valued during the Victorian era and give us insights into interpersonal dynamics, family relationships, and social hierarchies of the time.
