text: Download Print Innovative Jeep® Wrangler 4xe Named to Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems In its first year of eligibility, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe propulsion system claims a spot on Wards prestigious list Combination of 2.0-liter I-4 engine and two electric motors delivers 21 miles of all-electric range, 49 MPGe and enhanced off-road capability in Jeep Wrangler 4xe Jeep Wrangler 4xe was No. 1 selling PHEV in the United States in the second quarter of 2021 Stellantis is investing more than $35 billion (€30 billion) through 2025 in electrification and software with all 14 brands committed to offering best-in-class fully electrified solutions September 13, 2021 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The innovative 4xe plug-in hybrid propulsion system in the Jeep® Wrangler that delivers nearly silent driving and enhanced off-road capability has been voted a Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems winner in its first year of eligibility. A hit with consumers and lauded by media since its launch in early 2021, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe provides 21 miles of zero-emission all-electric range and is EPA rated at 49 miles per gallon-equivalent (MPGe). Within weeks of reaching dealerships, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe became the No. 1 selling PHEV in the United States for the second quarter of 2021. One-quarter of all the Jeep Wranglers built by consumers at jeep.com include the 4xe propulsion system. "This is advanced, environmentally friendly technology that seamlessly fits into anyone's daily life," said Micky Bly, Stellantis Head of Propulsion Systems. "Then you take the Jeep Wrangler 4xe off road and it hits you that electrified propulsion and nearly silent running are unlike anything you've ever experienced. You won't want to come off the trails. "Delivering a powertrain that manages torque from three sources and loses nothing from the Jeep Wrangler's legendary capability is a challenge. We are energized by the response from our customers as well as the recognition from the Wards editors. We're not finished, there is more to come," Bly said. Consumers are driving the Jeep Wrangler 4xe on roads in the United States, Canada, Europe and China. In North America, 4xe propulsion is available on the Jeep Wrangler Sahara, Rubicon and High Altitude models. "The all-new 400-volt plug-in hybrid system makes the Jeep Wrangler 4xe a whole lot more efficient and it compromises nothing on the trail, in its rugged, off-road element," said Tom Murphy, WardsAuto Managing Editor. "And on the highway, you need to really pay attention to notice when the 4-cylinder turbo shuts down and you're sailing along in battery-electric mode. The Jeep Wrangler has always been about crossing difficult terrain to enjoy the great outdoors. With the Wrangler 4xe, Jeep loyalists can feel good about helping preserve the great outdoors as well." "The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is a clear example that you can have the best of both worlds: legendary Jeep capability combined with an electrified, ecofriendly package that allows you to enjoy nature in almost absolute silence," said Christian Meunier, Jeep Brand Chief Executive Officer. "The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is already a success around the globe and shortly after launch, it became the number one selling PHEV in America, showcasing that 4xe is the new 4x4." The Jeep Wrangler 4xe's propulsion system combines two electric motors, a 2.0-liter I-4 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission for nearly silent propulsion and enhanced 4x4 off-road capability, without EV range anxiety. This arrangement enables the Trail Rated Jeep Wrangler to retain running gear that includes solid front and rear axles, full-time two-speed transfer case, fully articulating suspension and 30 inches of water traversing capability. The E Selec modes let the driver tailor the Jeep Wrangler 4xe propulsion to the trip: Hybrid, Electric and eSave, which conserves the battery pack charge for later use. The Wrangler 4xe's 17-kilowatt-hour battery pack recharges in about two hours on Level 2 (220-volt) power and about 12 hours on Level 1 (110-volt) household power. Full details on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe are available in the online press kit.

Best Practices for Running a Digital Fundraising Campaign
How often do new donors send checks to your nonprofit? Exactly. The bulk of donations are now coming in online, with digital fundraising on the rise for the past several years. From 2014 to 2015 alone, online donations rose 13 percent, with monthly online donations increasing by a notable 32 percent. With the right strategies, nonprofit inbound marketing efforts, and these best practices, your organization can launch your own powerful digital fundraising campaign.
Ready Your Website
As the hub of your digital fundraising campaign, your website needs to include:
- A specific donation page customized for your campaign
- A clear case statement, outlining your overall mission and the campaign fundraising goals
- A strong call-to-action that explicitly asks visitors to donate to your campaign
Make It Easy to Give
Not only do you need to set up a way for people to donate in a few clicks, but you want them to able to donate from any device they may be using. That means you want a fast and smooth donation process, along with responsive design. Make mobile giving even easier with things like text-to-give software, which allows donors to text an amount to your pre-established giving number.

Start with a Soft Launch
Build up campaign momentum – and donation dollars – with a soft launch before your campaign officially begins. Reach out to key fundraisers and supporters in advance to get the ball rolling. People are more apt to give when they see you're already on the path toward your goal.
Establish Urgency
Campaigns that last longer than a week or two tend to peter out. An extended timeframe can also prompt people to think they can come back later to donate, instead of doing it now.
Coordinate the Campaign across Multiple Channels
Put your campaign front and center on all your channels, with the goal of reaching your supporters wherever they may be. In addition to your website, feature your campaign:
- In your newsletter and email blasts
- On your social media channels
- At seminars, speaking engagements and events
- In traditional media, such as print, radio and TV
Encourage Mini-Campaigns from Supporters
Peer-to-peer fundraising involves asking supporters to launch their own parallel campaigns on their own websites. Send them a tip sheet packed with guidance. Peer-to-peer efforts typically bring in one-third of all online donations, with one in four peer-to-peer solicitation emails resulting in donations – compared to the one in 1,250 emails sent directly from the organization.
Set up a Matching Period
Matching periods can reignite interest at the midpoint of your campaign. It also prompts folks to act sooner rather than later with donations. Contact big donors and sponsors in advance, setting up dates or a maximum amount to be matched. Then encourage donations by alerting folks when the matching period begins and ends.
Present Solvable Problems and Realistic Goals
Don't overwhelm or discourage your audience by pledging to raise $50 million to give every pet in the world a home. Try aiming for something more solve-able as well as realistic, such as raising $4,000 by May 15 to care for 400 homeless pets for a year.
See Also: 5 Common Pitfalls in Non-Profit Marketing
Outline Where the Money Goes
Showing how suggested donations are used within your organization reminds people that even a small donation can help. A simple chart can outline what each amount achieves, such as:
- $15 donation for pet leashes
- $25 donation for animal vaccinations
- $50 donation for food
Use Video
Video is one of the most compelling ways to tell your story, and you can likewise use it to generate interest and even interaction as part of your digital fundraising campaign. Use video to:
- Teach people about your cause
- Showcase success stories
- Meet donation recipients
- Provide a live glimpse at your team at work
- Prompt participation
Consider an interactive video challenge by inviting your supporters to share videos performing an activity relevant to your nonprofit or campaign. Ask them to make a donation and nominate others to participate.
Provide Incentives
Incentives can help drive donations from supporters, as well as premium efforts from your staff. Consider offering donated gifts, tours of your facility or other inexpensive yet meaningful perks for donors, as well as bonuses for staff members who bring in donations by the droves.
Celebrate Success
In addition to acknowledging notable milestones throughout the life of your campaign, provide overall results at the end. Make sure to thank and congratulate everyone who contributed to the campaign's success.
Your website and other nonprofit inbound marketing tactics are a huge part of your digital fundraising efforts, but they're not the only elements involved. Success relies on a combination of channels, factors, and tactics that all work together to achieve the final goal. While your main goal is meeting or exceeding your targeted donation amount, a digital fundraising campaign also helps you raise awareness of your nonprofit and cause along the way.

Your home's first impression for a home-buyer is most often online. How your home looks in those pictures can make a major difference on whether you will get a buyer in to your home to look at it or not. As a realtor, I sometimes cringe looking at the quality of photos posted of a home or the messiness of a house which stands out more than the natural beauty of the home itself. You don't want this to be your house so read more for tips to help get your house picture-perfect ready:
#1. Make sure you take care of the major items to prepare your home for sale like touching-up paint, making necessary repairs around the house such as broken or damaged items, cleaning carpets of obvious stains, and sprucing up your yard. You want your house to be in it's best shape to get top dollar. See my earlier blog on The Seller's Roadmap if you aren't sure on the process of selling your home.
#2. Make sure you hire a realtor that will coordinate professional photos for you. Most realtors should offer to pay for these photos – if they try to convince you they can just take the photos on their phone, I'd highly suggest you start looking for a new realtor! You (and your home) deserve better. Professional photos will help make your home shine.
#3. Talk with your realtor about whether it is worth the investment to stage your home. Houses that are vacant or have furniture that have seen better days may really benefit from home staging.
#4. A few days before the pictures, take an afternoon to prepare your home for the photos. This includes:
- Putting away & organizing major clutter. Try to clean off counters, tops of furniture (such as coffee tables & desks), tidy up shelving that may be overflowing with personal items, tuck away pet supplies, and put away laundry.
- Minimize toiletries in bathrooms & freshen the space. Too many products on the counters may imply there is not enough storage. Plan for the photographer to open shower curtains for the photos so try to keep the shower/bathtub clean & clutter-free.
- Check all light bulbs and replace ones that are burnt out. The photographer will likely want all the lights turned on and it will look funny if one of two bathroom lights are out, for example. Don't forget exterior lights!
- Do a thorough clean of your house. Consider a professional carpet clean if the carpets are particularly dirty & stains visible.
- Spruce up the yard and outdoor space. Wash off dirty outdoor furniture, clean-up the yards and gardens, pull any dead plants, mow the lawn, put away children's toys and games.
- Feel free to add some additional greenery inside or out with plants, but be careful about dating the pictures to a specific holiday in case your house doesn't sell as quickly as you hope.
- Hide electrical cords, including any jumble of wires that may be visible under your TV console or desk.
#5. On the day of the photos, you'll want to do a final run through sprucing up your property.
- Clean counter-tops and do another round of de-cluttering. Put away the majority of items on the kitchen counters such as dish drying racks, extra appliances, utensil holders, spices, etc. You want to make your counters look as spacious as possible.
- Wipe down hardwood & tiled floors and try to get your appliances to shine, especially stainless steel that easily show smudges.
- Make all the beds and ensure pillows & throws look tidy on furniture.
- Clean windows of smudges & dirt which can show up in photos and take away from the pretty windows or views.
- Toilet seats down & neatly fold any hand towels around the house.
- Turn on all lights – don't expect the photographer to do that for you.
Finally, after the photos are taken – it is still important to keep the house in excellent condition for the showings. Nice photos will help get people into your house, but you want them to be impressed once they are there too. Keep the house clean, tidy, and odor free while the house is on the market!
If you are thinking about selling your home in the Boulder/Denver area, I would love to help. I always provide professional photos for my clients, advice on updates or tips to help the house sell for top dollar, an innovative & custom marketing campaign around each listing, and I always strive to exceed my client's expectations with exceptional client service. Please email me below for more information on how we can work together & to see my sample listing marketing plan.

text: Supporting the Development of High Quality Secondary Mathematics and Science Teachers and Teacher Leaders is a project supported by the Knowles Foundation for Science Teaching (KSTF), which funds fellowships for beginning teachers to enhance their leadership and teaching skills. KSTF – an organization committed to the preparation and on-going support of high quality science and mathematics teachers and teacher leaders – is also committed to conducting rigorous, mixed methods research that assesses the effects of its programs on participants, ranging from effects of individual teachers' knowledge to effects on a national network of science and mathematics teachers who are leading the profession. The project is a collaboration between Suzanne Wilson and a team of research assistants at the University of Connecticut and Jodie Galosy, Director of Research, at the Knowles Foundation. Our goal is to describe and explain the effects of the Knowles' fellowship program through documenting their participation in Foundation-related activities and their experiences in the classrooms, schools, and districts in which they work. For the next three years, we will be interviewing, observing, and surveying teachers, principals, and program staff in an effort to document the ways in which fellows and their peers who do not have access to KSTF resources find ways to grow and develop as teachers, as well as documenting how their middle and high school students engage in science and mathematics in meaningful ways.

CAROL SZYMANSKI A Distance As Close As It Can Be
On ViewElga Wimmer
April 1 – April 31, 2016
New York
Carol Szymanski, a talented and established sculptor and conceptual artist, who has worked both in New York and London, put up her fourth solo show at Elga Wimmer Gallery. The mainstay of the exhibition is a group of large Cibachrome photographs that depict two bodies of Szymanski's work together: a 2015 series of Mylar sculptures, named "solfege inflatables", and a painting series entitled "Icons" (also 2015). The photos capture the reflections of color from the "Icons" in the silver surface of the Mylar sculptures. By trapping the information radiating from the three-dimensional works, Szymanski creates an aesthetic, based on her earlier art in a way that does not duplicate it but, as the press release comments, "expands the language" of perception. Though mostly abstract, the photos are dense with color and build compositions of startling intricacy.
Although this exhibition presents more material than is easy to internalize in a single visit, one senses that Szymanski wants to deepen the visual experience of her work by contextualizing it with poetry, philosophy, and music. Szymanski is often eager to elaborate her art with texts. "A distance as close as it can be" is a quotation taken from critic Walter Benjamin's exploration of aura, a kind of atmosphere of beauty and mystique linked to the extension of urban experience. The titles of the Mylar sculptures come from Pierre Reverdy's 1921 poem "Coin obscur." Additionally, the artist derives text from philosopher Ted Cohen for her ten-year-long email art project cockshut dummy (2005 – 15). A third small but complicated work is a matrix of the twelve Cibachrome prints—set up in the manner of a Schoenbergian grid, the photos are arranged into a twelve-by-twelve network, like tone rows. With their fractured view, the prints offer a visual complexity comparable to the twelve-tone musical organization, as well as expanding on some of the difficult ideas encountered in her philosophically derived wall texts.
At stake here is the continuation of the modernist high ideal, one in which intellectual insight and a complicated means of production join force to create, in Szymanski's case, a show in which image, text, and idea are equally considered. At the same time, though, the artist clearly remains visually oriented, finding a balance between concept and object that enhances our visual experience of her work. The light reflections on the splintered planes of the Mylar sculptures create a complex imagery that is hard to read except in abstract terms. Because of the way the photos are taken, the photo often seems divided like a pie, with tranches of color emanating outward from a central point. The photo named a ball carried away (2015) is unreadable in a figurative sense, yet the coherent intricacy of the work's parts—its ability to hold onto a visual center despite the chaotic surface we see—make the work as rational as it is expressive.
The real critical question here is how much guidance do we need in our encounter with the complexities of Szymanski's art? This is clearly work to ponder as well as to enjoy. One might be puzzled by the relations between the philosophical writing and the images; after thought, however, it becomes clear that the artist is building an intuitive structure, linking a conceptual and also poetic text to a self-referential body of art. The poetry is derived from the juxtaposition of the mediums, whose effect is cumulative, greater than the sum of its parts. Sometimes even the abstraction is overtaken by a seemingly recognizable image: for example, in The Winds Crossed, Variation 1 (2016), the folds in the Mylar result in what looks very much like an Arctic landscape, complete with an apocalyptic, blood-red sky. It seems as if glaciers are catching light in the photo, and that there is a sharp peak in the center of the composition.
Actually, the word composition is not quite right—and this is where Szymanski's project becomes exciting and original. Despite the tight arrangement imposed by the twelve-tone scale as an organizing principle, these images are truly about the expressiveness of chance. The imagery is random, generated by the unplanned reflection of the paintings on Mylar. And in her references to philosophy and music, the artist expands upon the intellectual implications of a picture of a picture. Remarkably, this does not result in an overly elaborate self-awareness on the artist's part. Instead the twists and turns of the Mylar and the colors reflected in its creases bring about the recognition that, in the early years of the 21st century, art is mostly about other art. In Szymanski's project, rather than a constraint, this becomes a freedom.

September 22, 2016
Dear Friend,
The nuclear industry is coming after our wallets again – and there's more than money at stake.
And we need your help to stop them. Build the #NuclearIsDirty campaign.
For the last two years, nuclear power companies have been desperately trying to get billions of dollars in subsidies to keep their dirty, dangerous, old reactors from closing. Activists in Illinois, Ohio, and New York have been doing everything they can to stop them.
But in August, the governor of New York buckled, and included nuclear power in the state's new Clean Energy Standard: if the decision stands, New Yorkers will have to pay $7.6 billion in subsidies to nuclear power--three times as much as the state would spend on renewable energy sources, just to prop up four old nukes.
Within days, nuclear corporations were lobbying state governors and legislatures, convincing them to declare nuclear power clean energy--and give them New York-size bailouts.
Help us build the #NuclearIsDirty campaign and send the message--don't waste our clean energy dollars on dirty nuclear power.
And here's the kicker: if other states follow New York—or the next President makes it a national subsidy—it would snowball into a $250 billion bailout. Connecticut alone would fork out $5 billion. New Jersey, $10 billion. Pennsylvania and Illinois, $30 billion each.
We have to stop this train before it starts, or it will block renewable energy for the next 15 years.
The nuclear industry acts like our energy dollars grow on trees, but in the real world, this is a choice. We need to put up solar panels on our rooftops, not prop up dirty, dangerous old nukes.
That's why NIRS started the #NuclearIsDirty campaign. And we need your help to get the word out and build the movement.
Over the next eight weeks, we will be taking action to let the next President, and every state Governor, know that nuclear power is dirty … from uranium mining all the way through to nuclear waste, splitting atoms to make electricity destroys lives and poisons the environment, and it has to stop. Nuclear bailouts are dirty money--and every dime that goes into them is creating radioactive waste, risking a Fukushima-like disaster, and keeping us from putting up solar panels and windmills.
We need your support to get the word out there. Over the next few months, we have to reach thousands of new activists across the country, and that means expanding our outreach and organizing.
So please make a contribution to support the campaign--and then share the #NuclearIsDirty campaign with your friends.
For the next four weeks, all donations will be tripled by generous NIRS supporters.
Together, we will stop this nuclear bailout and accelerate the transition to a carbon-free, nuclear-free nation and world.
Thanks for your activism and your support.
Tim Judson
Executive Director

Students At Franklin – Lowell Schools To Be Moved Next School Year For New Construction
Elementary students at both Franklin and Lowell Schools will be moved to alternate buildings in the 2016-2017 school year, so that construction can begin on new or remodeled facilities.
MCSP Public Information Director Hatton Littman said the two schools face the most urgent need for new or updated buildings.
"We passed a bond in November of 2015 and we will be starting construction on two of our elementary schools, most dramatically this spring," Littman said. "That will impact Franklin Elementary and Lowell Elementary. The students who attend those schools will be attending a swing space school for the 2-16-2017 school year. Students who attend Franklin will be redirected to Jefferson Elementary, while students who attend Lowell Elementary will be redirected to Mount Jumbo Elementary."
Littman said the two schools are not currently being used as elementary schools.
"Jefferson Elementary is currently housing our preschool and our fine arts staff," she said. It simply retains the title Jefferson Elementary because that was how it was named when it first opened. Mount Jumbo in East Missoula, the school which will be housing students from Lowell Elementary, is right now being leased to an out-of-state satellite program. Both schools are being prepped as we speak to receive students for next year."
In addition, Littman said March 7 marks the start date for Kindergarten registration for the fall of 2016. While parents can register students at any time, MCPS is encouraging parents to register students between March 7th and April 15th, 2016 to get connected with their neighborhood school early and ensure success for their child.

258: St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage
Add comment September 14th, 2015 Headsman
The Christian bishop of Carthage, Cyprian, was condemned by Roman authorities on this date and immediately beheaded.
Not one of your dubious ancient martyrs fogged with legend, Cyprian was a major public figure in his own time; dozens of epistles and treatises of his survive. An epidemic that ravaged the Roman Empire in the 250s and 260s is known from his description of it; hence it is remembered as the Plague of Cyprian.
The real-life Cyprian had different plagues to fight.
The essential challenge of Cyprian's day — and the one that would see him to martyrdom — was the onset of anti-Christian persecution after the relative tolerance of the 240s. Cranky senator turned general Decius claimed the purple in 249 on a programme of traditional values that included a demand that all* obtain a magistrate's certificate confirming that they had performed public sacrifice to the pagan gods. We don't want anyone tempting divine vengeance here.
The Christian community had grown, little molested of late, to encompass many peaceable adherents who were not necessarily prepared to sell their lives over a stick of incense. Now, it fragmented under the Decian persecution — which was applied by different governors with varying levels of severity. Some Christians made the requisite sacrifices; others paid bribes to get the paperwork. Some fled to hiding: Cyprian himself did so, and some Christian ultras criticized him for failing to embrace martyrdom.
Decius died in 251, leaving the Christian minority with a controversy over how to handle the so-called lapsi who had made some concession to the idols of Rome: perspectives arrayed from the most lax (welcome everyone back with minimal hassle) to the most punitive (expel them all: this was the Novatian heresy). Cyprian had a middle-ground position in this dispute; his De Lapsis preserves his intervention, accepting readmission but under conditions of suitable penance administered by the clergy.
In such a case there remains only penitence which can make atonement. But they who take away repentance for a crime, close the way of atonement. Thus it happens that, while by the rashness of some a false safety is either promised or trusted, the hope of true safety is taken away.
But you, beloved brethren, whose fear is ready towards God, and whose mind, although it is placed in the midst of lapse, is mindful of its misery, do you in repentance and grief look into your sins; acknowledge the very grave sin of your conscience; open the eyes of your heart to the understanding of your sin, neither despairing of the Lord's mercy nor yet at once claiming His pardon. God, in proportion as with the affection of a Father He is always indulgent and good, in the same proportion is to be dreaded with the majesty of a judge. Even as we have sinned greatly, so let us greatly lament. To a deep wound let there not be wanting a long and careful treatment; let not the repentance be less than the sin. Think you that the Lord can be quickly appeased, whom with faithless words you have denied, to whom you have rather preferred your worldly estate, whose temple you have violated with a sacrilegious contact? Think you that He will easily have mercy upon you whom you have declared not to be your God? You must pray more eagerly and entreat; you must spend the day in grief; wear out nights in watchings and weepings; occupy all your time in wailful lamentations; lying stretched on the ground, you must cling close to the ashes, be surrounded with sackcloth and filth; after losing the raiment of Christ, you must be willing now to have no clothing; after the devil's meat, you must prefer fasting; be earnest in righteous works, whereby sins may be purged; frequently apply yourself to almsgiving, whereby souls are freed from death.
This is more or less the position the Church as a whole arrived at — a fairly liberal readmissions policy in the scheme of things. Unfortunately for Cyprian and his flock, the question would soon grow pressing once again: the emperor Valerian resumed the persecution in 257.
Cyprian was first sent into exile, then brought to Carthage for examination at a villa thronged with his supporters, who are said to have roared in support when Cyprian refused to sacrifice and demanded, "Let us be beheaded with him!"
The bishop attained his hieromartyr's laurels directly after the verdict, with Carthage's Christians clamboring alongside him to the execution grounds. Afterwards, the faithful collected his remains and interred them lovingly, erecting a church over the bones that the Vandals would eventually ravage.
Even in his death under persecution, Cyprian's biography reflects the growing weight of Christianity in Rome — not least in the fact that it was consequential enough to attract imperial backlash under the right circumstances. The reluctance of provincial magistrates to make hecatombs of their neighbors whatever the edicts demanded has been widely noted — like the proconsul Antoninus, who sent away confessing Christians who wished to solicit their own martyrdoms with the exasperated words, "if you are thus weary of your lives, is it so difficult for you to find ropes and precipices?"
"The life of Cyprian is sufficient to prove that our fancy has exaggerated the perilous situation of a Christian bishop," Edward Gibbon wrote — a paradoxical observation to make of a martyr, but we notice that Cyprian's noisy Christian supporters don't seem to have been harried even in the midst of the prelate's execution. Thereafter, "the funeral of Cyprian was publicly celebrated without receiving any interruption from the Roman magistrates; and those among the faithful, who had performed the last offices to his person and his memory, were secure from the danger of inquiry or of punishment. It is remarkable, that of so great a multitude of bishops in the province of Africa, Cyprian was the first who was esteemed worthy to obtain the crown of martyrdom."
* Jews were exempted; Romans had respect for the antiquity of that monotheistic religion which was not extended to the novel concoctions of Christianity.

White-Tailed Deer fossils can be found in the late Pliocene and Pleistocene Deposits of Florida. They become especially abundant in the Late Pleistocene, after the Camels and other sizable Ungulates go extinct.
It is the same species of White-Tailed Deer that lives today, Odocoileus virginianus. It is also sometimes known as the Virginia deer. The only difference might be that a number of these Pleistocene Animals were larger in size.
Typically, these artiodactyls lived in woodland and wetland environments. As might be expected, they are quick runners that can reach speeds of 35-40 Mph. Social by nature and cautious, they often move at dusk, night and in the early morning hours. These Prehistoric Deer fed on leaves and twigs of various types, while also eating acorns and grasses.
Many of the antlers shed by the males have become, at times, fossilized. Along with teeth, jaws, toe bones, tibia, radius, scapula, astragalus and calcaneus.
Today, the males usually weigh 125-220 pounds (55-100 kg), but some can get much larger. The females weigh 90-125 pounds (40-55 kg), typically.
These fossil deer belong to a group called the Ruminantia, which include six families: Deer, Elk, and Moose; Musk Deer; Pronghorn; Mouse Deer; Giraffe and Okapi; Cattle, Goats, and Antelope.
Eocoileus Gentryorum was a primitive deer first discovered, in the Florida fossil record, from the early Pliocene Period and is around 5 Million Years old. Eight other genera of Odocoileus deer fossils show up during the Pleistocene Period and later, but only Odocoileus virginianus remains today.

Could the Shooting of an Orlando Teen Have Been Prevented?
Local News
A teenage boy was reportedly shot and injured outside the Pointe Vista apartment complex in Orlando Tuesday afternoon, April 25, 2017.
According to The Orlando Sentinel, the young victim was shot outside the "Pointe Vista Apartments," shortly before 4:00 p.m. He was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with injuries. His current condition has not been released.
WFTV 9 reports, the complex has been "certified as part of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing Property Program." However, one resident apparently told WFTV the designation "wasn't enough to make him feel safe" given the "amount of violent crime in the area."
Police are apparently still searching for a suspect.
Did negligent security contribute to the shooting of a teenage boy? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Florida, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.
Our Legal Take
Generally, property owners are required to protect all guests legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the young victim and his family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.
Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
We've Recovered Millions for Victims of Apartment Security Negligence…Contact us Now for a Free Consultation.
The Murray Law Firm has an extensive and successful record representing victims of violence and security negligence. We have recovered millions of dollars for our Clients, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict for a victim of an unsafe property. We offer our legal assistance, if desired.
We represent our Clients on a contingency agreement, which generally means that no fees or payments are owed until and unless we recover. Anyone seeking further information or legal representation is encouraged to contact us via e-mail (click here) or by telephone at 888.842.1616. Consultations are free and confidential.
Choosing the Right Attorney
Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.
Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!
You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:
If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we'll assist you in filing a report.
Contingency Fees Disclaimer: "Contingent attorneys' fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client."

The Israelites had just experienced the great high of crossing over the Red Sea and watching the Egyptians perish. But from that high they soon plunged to a low when they needed water and the water they eventually found was bitter. Their reaction: they grumbled and complained against Moses.
Would we blame them? Yet Moses' response to their grumbling shows that this was no frivolous thing: "Your complaints are not against us but against the Lord" (Exodus 16:8).
A little while later, remembering their Egyptian diet and comparing it to what they now ate now, "...the whole congregation complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness" (Exodus 16:2). God sent manna to satisfy their hunger. It was food that had an interesting side purpose: "And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them whether they will walk in my law or not." The "quota" was enough for each day and double that amount on the day before Sabbath so Sabbath was a day off. How they followed those instructions was God's test.
These are such little things—grumbling and complaining, not following instructions. Haven't we all been guilty of doing something similar?
Jerry Bridges in his book The Pursuit of Holiness says,
"We do not take some sin seriously. We have mentally categorized sins into that which is acceptable and that which may be tolerated a bit .... Andrew Bonar said, 'It is not the importance of the thing, but the majesty of the Lawgiver that is to be the standard of obedience .... Some, indeed, might reckon such minute rules as these trifling. But the principle involved in obedience or disobedience was none other than the same principle which was tried in Eden at the foot of the forbidden tree. It is really this: Is the Lord to be obeyed in all things whatsoever He commands? Is He a holy Lawgiver? Are His creatures bound to give implicit assent to His will?'" - Jerry Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness, Kindle Location 110 - Bonar quote from Andrew Bonar, A Commentary on Leviticus, 1846, reprint 1972, p. 218 (emphasis added).
And so when God convicts about some little thing let's not try to wriggle our way out of dealing with it, giving the excuse that it's too insignificant to be concerned about. Rather, let's do the needed thing—make it right and change our ways because of the worth of our holy, majestic Lawgiver.
PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for these examples of how you test us in the little things. Help me to live with a sensitive conscience before You today, quick to change my ways where You apply pressure. Amen.
MORE: "The great disposition of sin underneath"
"When I get into the presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense; I realize the concentration of sin in a particular feature of my life.... The conviction is concentrated on—I am this, or that, or the other. This is always the sign that a man or woman is in the presence of God. There is never any vague sense of sin, but the concentration of sin in some personal particular. God begins by convicting us of one thing fixed on in the mind that is prompted by His Spirit; if we will yield to His conviction on that point, He will lead us down to the great disposition of sin underneath. That is the way God always deals with us when we are consciously in His presence" - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, July 3 reading (emphasis added).
I believe Chambers has put his finger one of the reasons little things aren't really little at all. It is because they are symptoms of our real condition. They are the one tenth of the iceberg jutting above the surface, hiding the nine tenths of that "great disposition of sin" underneath."

What do you do? I run a studio called Stretch Zone! Clients of all fitness and mobility levels come in and receive gentle, personalized stretch sessions. The main focus is nervous system relaxation, not stretching people to their end range. When we safely stretch people, not only do they feel more flexible, but clients report feeling lighter, less stressed, and better sleep! I'm also a yoga teacher, I am a certified athletic trainer and my Masters degree is in kinesiology. I guess you could say I went on a mission to try and wear athletic gear every single day. 😊
Where do YOU find your motivation? What is your WHY? I love to empower people through movement! That lightbulb moment when people learn more about how their bodies work motivates me to work hard and bring my A game every day. There are more stressors and demands on us than ever, and people come to Stretch Zone stressed out and in need of some TLC. Showing people how their nervous system works and what we can do to help them feel better is my "why". I have seen so many success stories from people who found relief with us, it is amazing being able to make someone's daily life pain-free.
With it being a new year, what is one piece of advice you'd give to everyone to help them stick to their goals In this age of the self care revolution, I encourage readers to make a positive goal instead of a negative one. Shift the way you view this goal- instead of "I want to lose weight", consider what adjustments you can make to feel your very best this year. One step further- don't be afraid to make adjustments. Do your best every single day, that is all you have anyways. (Took a cue from the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz- if you haven't read it yet, I'm adding it to your NY goals list 😊 )
What are YOUR 2019 intentions? My intention this year is to stay in my lane. To me, this means doing what I do best- stretching people- getting the word out to the masses- and not sweating the small stuff on the way.
How did you first get into fitness? My parents are both active, we did Pilates and spin classes together at the Y when I was in high school. I'll always remember how fun that was! I didn't take my first yoga class until I was in college, and I realized that is where I fit best. One time I heard lululemon use the term "sweaty generalist", that is definitely what I would consider myself these days. I enjoy popping in for classes taught by people who support Stretch Zone, and as that list continues to grow, so does the variety of my workouts. A win-win 😊
What's the best health/wellness advice you've ever received that has actually helped? Going back to my intentions for 2019, the best advice I ever received was to just stay in my own lane. Everyone's bodies and individual needs are so different, so as far as diet, exercise and self care go- do you! Meditate on it, go with what feels light to you, go with your own feeling instead of the opinions of others. This goes for fitness too- some need a high level of activity- some may be better off with a little less. Stay in your lane. The good news is, the Dallas fitness community has so many different options, there is definitely something for everyone. The magic comes when you find your own jam. Don't let anyone else tell you what that is, either. You know you best 😊
What's your favorite workout to do when you're not teaching? It changes all the time, currently I'm on a Pilates kick.
What's the last song you listened to on Spotify (or iTunes, Pandora, etc.)? "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen- I grew up listening to Queen- my mom made sure of that- but since Bohemian Rhapsody won a Golden Globe I've had them on repeat. 😊
Best thing in your fridge right now? My sister's cooking is my favorite food- we have vegan chili in the fridge currently- the absolute best.
Go-to pre or post-workout snack? Cashew Cookie Larabar pre workout, Wundershauzen from Juiceland for after 😊
Go-to morning beverage(s)? Black coffee with almond milk whipped cream- so extra 😊
Favorite splurge meal/dessert? Oreos 😊
Where do you get your health/wellness information? Ayurvedic experts (they are huge proponents of people having individual needs- doshas, etc), plant based living blogs, my essential oil groups (I'm a hippie okay?) 😊
If this wasn't your job, what would be your job? If it weren't for Stretch Zone I'd be on the marketing side of things for a fitness or wellness brand.
Favorite way to unwind after a long day/week? Watching tv in bed with my cat. Favorites include stuff I've seen a million times already- Parks & Rec, The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs.

Cedarville University's production of Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's classic 1964 musical "Fiddler on the Roof," based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, is deflated by awkward, inadequate musicality.
Barring technical difficulties, there's no reason in the world why anybody's staging of "Fiddler" should produce an Act 1 heading toward two hours. But this is exactly what's happened at Cedarville due to weak music direction by conductor Carlos Elias who hasn't mastered the timing within Bock and Harnick's score, superbly accenting an endearing story of a poor Jewish family coping with change in their tiny Russian village of Anatevka in 1905.
In Elias' hands, the waltzes are startlingly slow ("Sunrise, Sunset" is particularly painful) and the sprightly sentiments ("If I Were a Rich Man," "To Life," snippets of "Tevye's Dream") lack vigor. The only number that truly resonates in terms of musicianship is "Do You Love Me?," an Act 2 gem containing an engaging, conversational essence (akin to "I Remember It Well" from "Gigi") that constantly flows thereby avoiding any sense of derailment.
Thankfully, "Do You Love Me?" is also a signature moment because of the wonderful rapport and lyric-driven astuteness of Robert Rhodes and Anna Caroline Porter as Tevye and Golde. Throughout the tune, which finds Tevye and Golde tenderly reminiscing about their marriage, Rhodes and Porter beautifully connect with humor, depth and a mutual understanding that their love will survive no matter what the future holds. Excellent portrayals under the direction of Diane Conrad Merchant extend to the sharp, witty David Widder-Varhegyi as humble tailor Motel and a marvelously firm Madison Hart as the daring Chava who defies her family with dramatic results.
Choreographer Carrie Anthony's commendable routines bursting with personality and colorful exchanges, Robert Clements' first-rate scenic and lighting design, and Debbie Hamrick's attractive period costumes are additional assets of this presentation still in search of its musical pulse.
"Fiddler on the Roof" continues through Feb. 8 in the DeVries Theatre of the Stevens Student Center at Cedarville University, 251 N. Main St., Cedarville. Performances are Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Act One: 1 hour and 45 minutes; Act Two: 55 minutes. Tickets are $12-$15. For tickets or more information, call (937) 766-7787 or visit www.cedarville.edu

Rare sighting: Koala seen in upper Blue Mountains
By Alexia Attwood
For the first time in 70 years a koala has been sighted in the upper Blue Mountains, near Wentworth Falls.
Andrew Beitsch, a teacher at the local Blue Mountains Grammar School, was driving along the Great Western Highway late one night last week when he spotted the koala trying to navigate its way off the road.
Concerned about the lack of wildlife crossings on the highway, Mr Beitsch reported the koala the next day to Roads and Maritime Services and the Blue Mountains Conservation Society and was taken aback to learn just how rare his sighting was.
''I am glad I can practise what I preach when I'm teaching kids about being active citizens and acting on things they see,'' he said.
Recent bushfires have forced koalas out of their normal habitats, into developed areas, where they are more visible.
Kellie Leigh, from the faculty of veterinary science at the University of Sydney is mapping koalas in and around the Blue Mountains and says public reporting of wildlife sightings plays a crucial role.
''We need to find the koalas to understand what the bushfire impacts are and get the populations recovering,'' Dr Leigh said.

Nine illegal immigrants detained in Italy have stitched their lips together with thread from their bedsheets in a protest to demand their release.
The protest, which started at a centre near Rome this weekend, came days after video emerged of immigrants at another camp standing naked in the cold to be sprayed for scabies. It drew new calls for the closure of detention centres and for changes to immigration laws.
Using a needle improvised from a cigarette lighter, four Tunisians each made a single stitch to join their lips in the middle, Filiberto Zaratti, a lawmaker who visited the protesters, told Reuters. Five Moroccans later imitated the gesture, according to the centre's manager, speaking on Italian television. The protesters asked to be let out of the centre, the manager said.
Italy has borne the brunt of a wave of immigration to the European Union, with more than 40 000 people risking the dangerous sea crossing from northern Africa this year – almost four times as many as last year. Illegal immigrants can be held for up to 18 months while they await deportation. Despite stitching their lips, the protesters could still eat and drink and had been examined by a doctor, Zaratti said, describing their living conditions as shameful.
"That people were forced to such an extreme form of protest reflects their desperation," the lawmaker for the opposition Left Ecology and Freedom party said. "These structures should be closed immediately."
Last week, video emerged of naked detainees being sprayed on the island of Lampedusa, where hundreds of migrants died in a shipwreck in October. On Sunday, the spokesman on immigration issues for the main party in the ruling coalition, the centre-left Democratic Party, said the government would pass less restrictive immigration laws next year.
Italy's biggest union and Rome's mayor have also called for the closure of detention centres. But relaxing immigration laws could also set up a fight within Italy's coalition. The small New Centre Right party that defected from Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia to support the government last month has repeatedly said it opposes loosening the immigration rules. – Reuters

Paying passengers have been traveling to the space station aboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft since 2001, but those missions piggybacked on regular crew-rotation flights.

text: 19 Jul Do Millennials Respond to Direct Mail Campaigns? Marketing Techniques, Superior Business Solutions 0 Comments By Bill English, CEO SBS Brands My brother Tim English, our VP and fearless leader at Superior Business Solutions, recently reviewed the results from a study conducted by the USPS. This study analyzed the reaction of millennials to direct mail campaigns. It turns out that millennials respond more positively and engage more with direct mail than they do to email and electronic outreach. This is surprising, since the millennial generation is typically thought of as being tuned into devices and electronics. As Tim points out, there is good reason to be doubtful of these findings, since of course the USPS wants to encourage direct mailing campaigns

08/30/2023 / By Ramon Tomey
Conservative-leaning news outlet Sky News has found that so-called "fact checkers" on Facebook, which is under Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms, are meddling in Australia's referendum.
Jack Houghton of Sky News Australia investigated on the matter and discovered that these fact-checkers are running wild on Facebook in the Land Down Under. Australia is set to vote on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament (IVTP) referendum on whether to amend its constitution this fall. Citizens' votes will decide on the establishment of a new legislative advisory body comprising of Native Australians.
The outlet established 17 IVTP fact-checks from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's (RMIT) Fact Lab that Facebook affixed to content between May 3, 2023 and June 23, 2023. All of the content examined was related to the IVTP referendum – and Houghton observed a disturbing result.
"The entire operation is a sham," he told "Bolt Report" host Andrew Bolt. "They seem to be just targeting views of people who are against the [IVTP referendum]. All of the 17 IVTP checks were checking semantics, slight verbal missteps or just comments from people who don't want the [referendum] to go ahead."
"There was plenty of stuff on the 'Yes' side that could have been fact-checked," Hougton added. Such claims include political leaders who made claims oversimplifying the legislative process.
Moreover, the Sky News investigator disclosed that Meta is complicit in this election interference on Facebook. He wrote: "Meta maintains its fact-checking operation is at arm's length and independent, but Sky News can reveal the tech giant signed a secret commercial contract directly with RMIT." The university's Fact Lab, he added, gets paid up to AU$740,000 ($478,410) a year from a Meta subsidiary in Ireland.
Gabriela Pariseau, assistant editor in the Media Research Center's (MRC) Free Speech America division, put in her two cents on the issue. She wrote: "Fact-checkers rule the Wild West of Facebook and have now expanded their efforts to interfere in Australian elections."
Houghton also pointed out that Meta defers to the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) to certify the credibility of its fact-checkers. Interestingly, the IFCN is funded by Hungarian globalist billionaire George Soros.
But according to reports, both Facebook's parent firm and the Soros-funded group are allowing biased fact-checkers with expired credentials to play the role of speech police on the social media site.
Houghton pointed out that the RMIT Fact Lab should not have been doing fact-checks between May and June 2023, as its certification expired in December 2022. RMIT also reportedly reportedly violated IFCN's Code of Principles, which forbids applicants from "unduly concentrating its fact-checking on any one side." As the investigator pointed out, RMIT's fact-checks focused mainly on those opposing the referendum in Australia.
"Well, that's what's happening here," Houghton told Bolten. "But when we pointed this out to the IFCN, they said: 'Well, we don't care. We're not going to tell them how to follow the rule.'"
"What that tells me is that this entire ecosystem that Zuckerberg … has set up, [isn't] working the way that they have told the public it works. So it's not just in Australia." (Related: The "fact check" censorship scam is finally being exposed, dismantled.)
Pariseau agreed with Houghton, saying: "If Facebook fact-checkers can interfere in an election in Australia, then the platform can do it anywhere." She mentioned that this interference has already happened in the U.S., with Facebook using fact-checks as an excuse to censor news about Hunter Biden's so-called "laptop from hell."
The censorship incidentally began just before the November 2020 elections. A study by MRC done that year found that the suppression of the story contributed to the theft of that year's presidential elections, which put incumbent President Joe Biden in the White House. Pariseau noted that 9.4 percent of Biden voters would have changed their vote in favor of former President Donald Trump had they been aware of the "laptop from hell."

Charlie turned the car the opposite direction of home. "Gotta stop at the hardware store" he said. Oh my, I knew to get there from this direction meant several obstacles: a stop sign, a hard right, two speed bumps, a gravel parking lot with a huge mud puddle and the transition between the gravel and pavement. Putting my right hand over the neurostimulator implanted just below my left collar bone and cringing was my way of saying "not a good choice". It had been just a week since the battery pack had been replaced. There were nearly 15 dissolvable stitches holding the pocket of flesh closed. I expected a good jostling through this obstacle course. It wasn't that bad.
It's over a month now since that implant. It appears that the surgeon located the device slightly higher and at a different angle. I am thinking there is about 50% less "bounce" when I step. The stitches are gone and just a little itchy discomfort remains.
Still, I think of it as strange, yet a minor inconvenience to all the benefit I get from Deep Brain Stimulation.
