Pineapple tarts (凤梨酥) are commonly baked for the celebration of Chinese New Year festival in Malaysia and Singapore.
In Taiwan, pineapple tarts or 凤梨酥 are exceedingly popular but Taiwanese pinepple tarts recipe calls for shortening and milk powder and taste slightly different.
Because shortening is used in the Taiwanese version, they are also called pineapple shortcakes.
Making these pineapple tarts (凤梨酥) takes some patience, especially with the pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling.
The pineapple tarts looked so photogenic I just had to take a lot of pictures.
So, please remember to view the complete pineapple tarts pictures above.
Below is the pineapple tarts recipe, which I have adapted from Fresh from the Oven.

Green Bay Packers center-linebacker Ken Iman (53), falls to the ground at center during a drill as training camp begins on the practice field across from new City Stadium in mid-July 1962. Quarterback John Roach (10) is at right. Press-Gazette archivesI don't know who #23 is, but look at the name taped across the back of his helmet. #23 wasn't in circulation in 1962, and there are only two players on the all-time roster with names ending in -sky, neither of which fit.
I'm guessing that it's Roger Holdinsky, back from West Virginia, who was the Packers' 15th round draft pick that season.
Here's another of the Packers' picks, also bearing his name in masking tape.

The idea that humans ought to strive for impossible immortality and even worse, act as the gatekeepers of immortality for the natural environment which surrounds us, has long been a source of unneeded worry among many. For many years, the Azure Window of Gozo was one of Malta's most famed tourist destinations. A rock formation which framed a small cave over the see was as popular to swim through as it was to climb. Due to recent storms, the Azure Window has collapsed into the sea. Everything eventually reaches a natural end. Humans and animals age and die. Species die out, cliffs erode, rock formations collapse. The creations of man also decay and die. Buildings like their natural counterparts crumble, paintings fade, photos lose colour, records lose their grooves and cars break down beyond repair. There is nothing that mankind can do to change this. Decline, decay and collapse is an inevitable part of the life cycle of any structure or organism. The best that humans can do is to respect their natural environment and respect the lives of those around them. Many have lost this balance. People take pills, endure operations and lead unnatural lifestyles in attempts to grasp the untenable nettle of immortality. Complex laws are passed regulating humanity's interaction with the natural environment. Yet a simple exercise in restraint and respect would do far more to ease the unnatural corrosion of structures like the Azure Window than bloated bureaucracy. As it is, the Maltese authorities say that the collapse of the Azure Window was unavoidable. It was simply the result of a storm combined with the long process of natural erosion. This is how people ought to think of their lives. They ought to live well, but not obsessively. They ought to consume less and plant more. They ought to look a bit more and touch a bit less. They ought to conserve without ego and allow for decay without morose sentimentality. Restraint does more to preserve the best elements of the world than does hysteria, compulsion, spontaneity or extreme action. Everything eventually dies. If people enjoyed things more before they did rather than shorten life's happiness by fretting over the inevitable, people would attain a far higher measure of psychological health….but it's bad for business. The preservation industry is big money. From useless pills, to needless surgeries, to environmental protection agencies, the cost of trying to play God offers great dividends to individuals with vested interests. Things are out of balance, but so long as the books are balanced, nothing will change. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Military force is out. Respect international law and Venezuela's sovereignty. That's Russia's eminently reasonable ultimatum to Washington. Published 17 hours ago on March 24, 2019 By Finian Cunningham Authored by Finian Cunningham via The Strategic Culture Foundation: At a high-level meeting in Rome this week, it seems that Russia reiterated a grave warning to the US – Moscow will not tolerate American military intervention to topple the Venezuelan government with whom it is allied. Meanwhile, back in Washington DC, President Donald Trump was again bragging that the military option was still on the table, in his press conference with Brazilian counterpart Jair Bolsonaro. Trump is bluffing or not yet up to speed with being apprised of Russia's red line. The meeting in the Italian capital between US "special envoy" on Venezuelan affairs Elliot Abrams and Russia's deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov had an air of urgency in its arrangement. The US State Department announced the tête-à-tête only three days beforehand. The two officials also reportedly held their two-hour discussions in a Rome hotel, a venue indicating ad hoc arrangement. Abrams is no ordinary diplomat. He is a regime-change specialist with a criminal record for sponsoring terrorist operations, specifically the infamous Iran-Contra affair to destabilize Nicaragua during the 1980s. His appointment by President Trump to the "Venezuela file" only underscores the serious intent in Washington for regime change in Caracas. Whether it gets away with that intent is another matter. Moscow's interlocutor, Sergei Ryabkov, is known to not mince his words, having earlier castigated Washington for seeking global military domination. He calls a spade a spade, and presumably a criminal a criminal. The encounter in Rome this week was described as "frank" and "serious" – which is diplomatic code for a blazing exchange. The timing comes at a high-stakes moment, after Venezuela having been thrown into chaos last week from civilian power blackouts that many observers, including the Kremlin, blame on American cyber sabotage. The power grid outage followed a failed attempt by Washington to stage a provocation with the Venezuelan military over humanitarian aid deliveries last month from neighboring Colombia. The fact that Washington's efforts to overthrow the elected President Nicolas Maduro have so far floundered, might suggest that the Americans are intensifying their campaign to destabilize the country, with the objective of installing US-backed opposition figure Juan Guaido. He declared himself "acting president" in January with Washington's imprimatur. Given that the nationwide power blackouts seem to have failed in fomenting a revolt by the civilian population or the military against Maduro, the next option tempting Washington could be the military one. It seems significant that Washington has recently evacuated its last remaining diplomats from the South American country. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo commented on the evacuation by saying that having US personnel on the ground "was limiting" Washington's scope for action. Also, American Airlines reportedly cancelled all its services to Venezuela in the past week. Again, suggesting that the US was considering a military intervention, either directly with its troops or covertly by weaponizing local proxies. The latter certainly falls under Abrams' purview. After the Rome meeting, Ryabkov said bluntly: "We assume that Washington treats our priorities seriously, our approach and warnings." One of those warnings delivered by Ryabkov is understood to have been that no American military intervention in Venezuela will be tolerated by Moscow. For his part, Abrams sounded as if he had emerged from the meeting after having been given a severe reprimand. "No, we did not come to a meeting of minds, but I think the talks were positive in the sense that both sides emerged with a better understanding of the other's views," he told reporters. "A better understanding of the other's views," means that the American side was given a red line to back off. The arrogance of the Americans is staggering. Abrams seems, according to US reporting, to have flown to Rome with the expectation of working out with Ryabkov a "transition" or "compromise" on who gets the "title of president" of Venezuela. That's what he no doubt meant when he said after the meeting "there was not a meeting of minds", but rather he got "a better understanding" of Russia's position. Washington's gambit is a replay of Syria. During the eight-year war in that country, the US continually proffered the demand of a "political transition" which at the end would see President Bashar al Assad standing down. By contrast, Russia's unflinching position on Syria has always been that it's not up to any external power to decide Syria's politics. It is a sovereign matter for the Syrian people to determine independently. Nearly three years after Russia intervened militarily in Syria to salvage the Arab country from a US-backed covert war for regime change, the American side has manifestly given up on its erstwhile imperious demands for "political transition". The principle of Syrian sovereignty has prevailed, in large part because of Russia's trenchant defense of its Arab ally. Likewise, Washington, in its incorrigible arrogance, is getting another lesson from Russia – this time in its own presumed "back yard" of Latin America. It's not a question of Russia being inveigled by Washington's regime-change schemers about who should be president of Venezuela and "how we can manage a transition". Moscow has reiterated countless times that the legitimate president of Venezuela is Nicolas Maduro whom the people voted for last year by an overwhelming majority in a free and fair election – albeit boycotted by the US-orchestrated opposition. The framework Washington is attempting to set up of choosing between their desired "interim president" and incumbent Maduro is an entirely spurious one. It is not even worthy to be discussed because it is a gross violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. Who is Washington to even dare try to impose its false choice? On Venezuela, Russia is having to remind the criminal American rulers – again – about international law and respect for national sovereignty, as Moscow earlier did with regard to Syria. And in case Washington gets into a huff and tries the military option, Moscow this week told regime-change henchman Abrams that that's a red line. If Washington has any sense of rationale left, it will know from its Syria fiasco that Russia has Venezuela's back covered. Political force is out. Military force is out. Respect international law and Venezuela's sovereignty. That's Russia's eminently reasonable ultimatum to Washington. Now, the desperate Americans could still try more sabotage, cyber or financial. But their options are limited, contrary to what Trump thinks. How the days of American imperialist swagger are numbered. There was a time when it could rampage all over Latin America. Not any more, evidently. Thanks in part to Russia's global standing and military power. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest With RussiaGate Over Where's Hillary? Hillary is the epitome of envy. Envy is the destructive sin of coveting someone else's life so much they are obsessed with destroying it. It's the sin of Cain. She envies what Trump has, the Presidency. Published 17 hours ago on March 24, 2019 By Tom Luongo Authored by Tom Luongo: During most of the RussiaGate investigation against Donald Trump I kept saying that all roads lead to Hillary Clinton. Anyone with three working brain cells knew this, including 'Miss' Maddow, whose tears of disappointment are particularly delicious. Robert Mueller's investigation was designed from the beginning to create something out of nothing. It did this admirably. It was so effective it paralyzed the country for more than two years, just like Europe has been held hostage by Brexit. And all of this because, in the end, the elites I call The Davos Crowd refused to accept that the people no longer believed their lies about the benefits of their neoliberal, globalist agenda. Hillary Clinton's ascension to the Presidency was to be their apotheosis along with the Brexit vote. These were meant to lay to rest, once and for all time, the vaguely libertarian notion that people should rule themselves and not be ruled by philosopher kings in some distant land. Hillary's failure was enormous. And the RussiaGate gambit to destroy Trump served a laundry list of purposes to cover it: Undermine his legitimacy before he even takes office. Accuse him of what Hillary actually did: collude with Russians and Ukrainians to effect the outcome of the election Paralyze Trump on his foreign policy desires to scale back the Empire Give aid and comfort to hurting progressives and radicalize them further undermining our political system Polarize the electorate over the false choice of Trump's guilt. Paralyze the Dept. of Justice and Congress so that they would not uncover the massive corruption in the intelligence agencies in the U.S. and the U.K. Isolate Trump and take away every ally or potential ally he could have by turning them against him through prosecutor overreach. Hillary should have been thrown to the wolves after she failed. When you fail the people she failed and cost them the money she cost them, you lose more than just your funding. What this tells you is that she has so much dirt on everyone involved, once this thing started everyone went along with it lest she burn them down as well. Burnin' Down da House Hillary is the epitome of envy. Envy is the destructive sin of coveting someone else's life so much they are obsessed with destroying it. It's the sin of Cain She envies what Trump has, the Presidency. And she was willing to tear it down to keep him from having it no matter how much damage it would do. She's worse than the Joker from The Dark Knight. Because while the Joker is unfathomable to someone with a conscience there's little stopping us from excising him from the community completely., even though Batman refuses. Hillary hates us for who we are and what we won't give her. And that animus drove her to blackmail the world while putting on the face of its savior. And that's what makes what comes next so obvious to me. RussiaGate was never a sustainable narrative. It was ludicrous from the beginning. And now that it has ended with a whimper there are a lot of angry, confused and scared people out there. Mueller thought all he had to do was lean on corrupt people and threaten them with everything. They would turn on Trump. He would resign in disgrace from the public outcry. It didn't work. In the end Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen and Roger Stone all held their ground or perjured themselves into the whole thing falling apart. Andrew Weissman's resignation last month was your tell there was nothing. Mueller would pursue this to the limit of his personal reputation and no further. Just like so many other politicians. Vote Your Pocketbook With respect to Brexit I've been convinced that it would come down to reputations. Would the British MP's vote against their own personal best interests to do the bidding of the EU? Would Theresa May eventually realize her historical reputation would be destroyed if she caves to Brussels and betrays Brexit in the end? Always bet on the fecklessness of politicians. They will always act selfishly when put to the test. While leading RussiaGate, Mueller was always headed here if he couldn't get someone to betray Trump. And now his report is in. There are no new indictments. And by doing so he is saving his reputation for the future. And that is your biggest tell that HIllary's blackmail is now worthless. They don't fear her anymore because RussiaGate outed her as the architect. Anything else she has is irrelevant in the face of trying to oust a sitting president from power. The progressives that were convinced of Trump's treason are bereft; their false hope stripped away like standing in front of a sandblaster. They will be raw, angry and looking for blood after they get over their denial. Everyone else who was blackmailed into going along with this lunacy will begin cutting deals to save their skins. The outrage over this will not end. Trump will be President when he stands for re-election. The Wolves Beckon The Democrats do not have a chance against him as of right now. When he was caving on everything back in December it looked like he was done. That there was enough meat on the RussiaGate bones to make Nancy Pelosi brave. Then she backed off on impeachment talk. Oops. But the Democrats have a sincere problem. Their candidates have no solutions other than to embrace the crazy and go full Bolshevik. That is not a winning position. Trump will kill them on 'socialism.' The Deep State and The Davos Crowd stand revealed and reviled. If they don't do something dramatic then the anger from the rest of the country will also be palpable come election time. Justice is not done simply by saying, "No evidence of collusion." It's clear that RussiaGate is a failure of monumental proportions. Heads will have to roll. But who will be willing to fall on their sword at this point? Comey? No. McCabe? No. There is only one answer. And Obama's people are still in place to protect him. I said last fall that "Hillary would indict herself." And I meant it. Eventually her blackmail and drive to burn it all down led to this moment. The circumstances are different than I expected back then, Trump didn't win the mid-terms. But the end result was always the same. If there is no collusion, if RussiaGate is a scam, then all roads lead back to Hillary as the sacrificial lamb. Because the bigger project, the erection of a transnational superstate, is bigger than any one person. Hillary is expendable. Lies are expensive to maintain. The truth is cheap to defend. Think of the billions in opportunity costs associated with this. Once the costs rise above the benefits, change happens fast. If there is any hope of salvaging the center of this country for the Democrats, the ones that voted against Hillary in 2016, then there is no reason anymore not to indict Hillary as the architect of RussiaGate. We all know it's the truth. So, the cheapest way out of this mess for them is to give the MAGApedes what they want, Hillary. And hope that is enough bread and circuses to distract from the real storm ahead of us. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Trump's CIA Now Unbound And Back To Its Traditional Hijinks There is further evidence that suggests the neo-cons, in cahoots with Haspel at the CIA, set out to disrupt the Hanoi summit. Published 17 hours ago on March 24, 2019 By Strategic Culture Foundation Authored by Wayne Madsen via The Strategic Culture Foundation: Under the directorship of torture and black site maven Gina Haspel, Donald Trump's Central Intelligence Agency has returned to its traditional roots of conducting "black bag" operations and disrupting electrical grids through cyber-attacks. The Venezuelan government has accused the Trump administration of giving the green light for a series of crippling power failures in Venezuela, which affected 22 of Venezuela's 23 states, including the capital of Caracas. The long-duration power failures were cited by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a reason for the US withdrawing its diplomats from Caracas. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced that an international commission assisted by specialists from Russia, China, Iran, and the United Nations would help his country analyze the sources of the Venezuelan electrical grid cyber-attack. Initial cyber-forensics by Venezuela traced some of the cyber warfare being waged against Venezuela to nodes in Houston and Chicago. In addition to electricity, water service was disrupted in Venezuela. From Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Maduro tweeted on March 12: "From the Presidential Command Post, we monitored minute-by-minute the progress of the recovery of the National Electric System." Cyber-attacks on a country that puts its civilian population in jeopardy might, at first glance, appear to be a violation of the Geneva Conventions on warfare. However, without a Digital Geneva Convention, civilian populations are not covered by the current Geneva Conventions. However, in 2015, the United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security (UN GGE), which included experts from the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and other nations, agreed that current international law does apply to cyberspace. Most international legal experts agree that the Geneva Conventions require a digital annex to cover the type of cyber-disruption of the Venezuelan electrical grid carried out by the US intelligence services. Hybrid warfare against Venezuela, which includes economic, diplomatic, and cyber, has the backing of the neo-conservatives who now call the shots for the Trump White House. They include, in addition to Pompeo, national security adviser John Bolton; Iran-Contra felon Elliott Abrams, Trump's special envoy to the US-backed opposition-led rump Venezuelan government of Juan Guaido; Cuban-American Mauricio Claver-Carone, the senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs at the National Security Council; and Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American, who represents the interests of South Florida's right-wing oligarch exiles from Venezuela and other Latin American countries. While Trump was preparing for his Hanoi summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump's second summit with Kim, Haspel's CIA dug into its old bag of black operations, while also engaging in the more modern form of cyber-attack in targeting North Korea. On February 22, 2019, ten males, all wearing masks, broke into the North Korean embassy, which is located in the residential suburb of Aravaca, north of Madrid, Spain, and subjected eight embassy staff members to brutal interrogation tactics, including tying up the diplomats, throwing black bags over their heads (a specialty of Ms. Haspel), and subjecting them to beatings. One female diplomat managed to escape through a second-floor window and her screams alerted a neighbor, who promptly called the police. Two embassy employees required medical attention from their injuries. The Spanish police and National Intelligence Center (CNI) linked two of the embassy invaders to the CIA. "El Pais," a Spanish national newspaper, reported that the CIA issued one of its standard "denials," however, the paper stated that Spanish authorities found the denial from Langley, Virginia to be "unconvincing." "El Pais" reported that the invasion of the North Korean embassy by the CIA had severely harmed relations between Madrid and Washington. The National Police Corps' General Commissariat of Information (CGI) and CNI concluded that the attack and occupation of the North Korean embassy was not carried out by common criminals but was the work of a "military cell" that stole mobile phones and computers. Two of the embassy invaders were identified as Koreans and, based on CGI's and CNI's analysis of security camera video footage, they were further recognized as Koreans linked to the CIA. Spanish authorities did not rule out the possibility that South Korea's National Intelligence Service assisted the CIA in the embassy invasion. The embassy invaders escaped from the embassy using two North Korean luxury sedans bearing diplomatic plates. The cars were later found abandoned. The criminal inquiry into the incident is now before the Spanish High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, which could order the arrests of the embassy attackers and, if they are in the United States or South Korea, have Spain's INTERPOL national bureau put out a Red Notice for their arrest and extradition to Spain to stand trial. Spanish authorities believe the CIA's embassy attackers were looking for information on Kim Hyok Chol, the former North Korean ambassador to Spain, who was declared "persona non grata" by the Spanish government in 2017. Kim Hyok Chol, a career diplomat from one of North Korea's elite families who studied French at the Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and speaks fluent English, is now one of Kim Jong Un's trusted diplomatic advisers on nuclear talks with the Trump administration and he traveled with Chairman Kim to the failed Hanoi summit with Trump. With certainty, Kim Hyok Chol thoroughly briefed Kim Jong Un on the CIA's storming of his old diplomatic post in Spain. When Trump and Chairman Kim met in Hanoi on February 27 and if the issue of the CIA's siege of the North Korean embassy was brought up, that could have been enough to derail the summit. Considering the fact that war hawks like Bolton, Abrams, and Pompeo are now calling the foreign policy shots for the Trump administration, the attack on the North Korean embassy in Madrid, just five days prior to the Hanoi summit, may have been ordered by Washington's neo-con cell with the intention of scuttling the second meeting between Trump and Kim and put on ice any future meetings. There is further evidence that suggests the neo-cons, in cahoots with Haspel at the CIA, set out to disrupt the Hanoi summit. While Trump was meeting with Kim in Vietnam, the CIA is believed to have launched a cyber-attack on the Korean American National Coordinating Council (KANCC) in New York, an organization with ties to the Pyongyang government. KANCC is a non-governmental organization with offices in the Interchurch Center building, near Columbia University in Manhattan. It champions the dropping of US sanctions against North Korea, a sore point in Hanoi between Trump and Kim. The Trump-Kim Hanoi summit was reported to have hit a roadblock over North Korea's request for a partial lifting of US sanctions on North Korea, in return for the continued North Korean moratorium on nuclear testing and a partial freeze on production of fissile material. With the CIA's attack on the North Korean embassy in Spain still fresh in the minds of the North Korean side and the neo-cons' insistence, pushed by Bolton and Pompeo, for complete North Korean nuclear disarmament, the Hanoi summit was destined for failure. And, with Bolton, Abrams, Pompeo, and other dangerous neo-cons in charge at the White House and the State Department — and Haspel dancing to their tune at the CIA – North Korea and Venezuela are not the only countries currently in the gunsights of the Trump administration.

Rhode Island MENTOR Shared Living takes adults with developmental disabilities and places them in loving homes across the state. But the work does not end there. MENTOR and the caregivers that work with them must advocate on behalf of these individuals, helping them to secure jobs, connect with their communities and find opportunities that enhance their quality of life.
In pursuit of these goals and finding their place in the world, adults with developmental disabilities face a number of obstacles.
Congressman Jim Langevin faces a different kind of disability, but in speaking with MENTOR families at the Warwick office last Wednesday, said he has more in common with them than they might think.
Langevin shared the story of how he became disabled. At the age of 16, while coming on shift at the Warwick Police Department, an officer's gun accidentally discharged in the department locker room, severing Langevin's spine. The incident left him paralyzed and ended his dream of becoming a police officer.
Like many MENTOR participants, he was left feeling powerless about his own future.
"At first I was incredibly uncertain about what my future was going to be like," he said. "I was very fortunate to have an incredible family around me and a community that rallied around me."
Langevin reminded the participants that they have that same support system in the families they live with. The agency hosts "MENTOR Nights" once a month to provide families with the added support of their peers. Clients make friends with one another, and caregivers lean on one another for support and to share ideas.
"We all face challenges in life in one form or another. Nobody gets through life without facing some kind of challenge, yet I also believe that nobody gets through life without a support system. For some, it's the family we're born into; for others, it's the family you make," he said. "This is a great support network in and of itself."
MENTOR coordinators match individuals and families based on need, as well as personality. When a family expresses interest in the program, they undergo a background check and application process, and then coordinators oversee a series of meetings between the caregiver and participant. If they feel the connection is there, the participant moves in with their new family, and MENTOR provides around-the-clock support.
Since 2006, the Rhode Island branch of the national MENTOR network has grown from serving four participants to 65 and growing.
Langevin could relate with the caregivers on another level, as his parents took in foster children over the years.
"I know what an incredible, rewarding experience that can be," he said.
The Congressman did touch upon some of the issues he is dealing with in Washington, such as the national deficit and war. He said that presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney offer two very different visions for the country, and that he very much supports President Obama's vision, especially it's emphasis on policies that Langevin believes would strengthen the middle class.
"President Obama believes when we have a strong middle class, the country is stronger; that we're all in this together. That's the kind of vision I'm fighting for," he said.
Regardless of political affiliation, though, Langevin urged the MENTOR families and participants to get involved in the process and to share their stories with elected officials so they can better advocate for individuals with disabilities. Personally, Langevin said that feedback could help steer his priorities.
"My job is to be an effective voice and vote for all of you in Washington. It's important to share your stories and the challenges you face in your daily lives. You can educate us as legislators," he said.
MENTOR Program Supervisor Mary Beth Clancy said the visit was an inspiration to program participants, because it showed how someone could overcome a disability and fulfill their loftiest aspirations.
"I think they appreciated hearing his story about how he's faced challenges," she said. "They were able to see someone who could be a role model for them."
Moreover, with the elections fast approaching, she hopes Wednesday's program could motivate caregivers and their families to educate themselves on candidates and advocate for the needs of the developmentally disabled community.
"I don't think they really know how to connect to legislators, so by having him here, that is bridging the gap," she said.

William Holladay (1802-1891)
William Holladay (1802-1891)
William HOLLADAY was born on 24 Nov 1802[1] in Adair County, Kentucky.[2] He died on 1 Mar 1891[3] in Adair County and is buried in the Holladay Cemetery.
William lived and farmed all of his life in Adair County. He was the last of Zacharias and Kitty's four adult children to marry. In the 1830 census he appears to be still living with his parents, but more study of tax, land, and census records is needed in order to understand the living arrangements of Zacharias, William and Joseph during this period.
William was a solid citizen who was active in the Zion (Baptist) church community. He raised a large family and seems to have placed great value in education. At least two of his children became teachers, his son William and youngest daughter, Betty, who was educated at Georgetown College.
William's activities in the Zion church included contributing to its building fund and serving as a messenger (delegate) to the Russell Creek Association of Baptists. Further evidence of his devotion to both the Baptist church and education is provided in the obituary of his son Anderson Holladay, which states that "His (Anderson's) father and mother had 'The Baptist Banner and Western Pioneer' in their home." Also, "As a boy he learned to read the English language by pondering over the 'Western Recorder' pages even before he started to school." (The name of the publication was changed to 'The Western Recorder' in 1851.)
William married Mary Anna (Polly) Reynolds on 3 Jan 1832.[4] [5] Polly was born on 26 Feb 1813[6] in Adair County and was the daughter of Henry Reynolds and Nancy Sallee.
Of Zacharias' three sons, William appears to have been the closest to his father. Zacharias spent his declining years living in the household of William and Polly. After Zacharias' death William went to the Adair County Court to enter his father's will for probate. The will was proven by William's brothers-in-law, Joseph S. Reynolds and James H. Reynolds. William was named administrator of Zacharias' estate and posted a bond of $30.00. (John W. Garnett was named as his surety.)
William and Polly had nine children born between 1832 and 1851. Polly died On Christmas day of 1851[7]. She was buried in the Holladay Cemetery. At the time of her death their youngest child, Betty, was only six months old and there were four other children in the household under age ten. What a sad Christmas time that was for the Holladay clan!
Just over two years later, on 3 April 1854, William married Elizabeth Ruberts of nearby Casey County. Elizabeth was born 10 Feb 1810 in Kentucky and was the daughter of John Rubarts/Ruberts and Sarah (Sally) Cabell.
Elizabeth and William had no children of their own, but they shared a house full of children and young adults. By 1860 there were still seven children living at home; the oldest daughter had married, and one son had died of consumption. In the 1880 census William is age 77 and head of the household, Elizabeth is 67, and living with the family were two spinster daughters, Frances, age 39 and Bettie, 29, as well as son Thomas and his wife and daughter. As we know, there were many more multiple-generation households in those days.
Elizabeth (Ruberts) Holladay died on 20 October 1882 and was buried in the Pelley-Rubarts Cemetery.
William lived another eight years and died on 1 March 1891 at age 88. He was buried next to Polly in the Holladay Cemetery.
William HOLLADAY and Mary Anna (Polly) REYNOLDS had the following children:
1. Henry HOLLADAY, born on 1 Oct 1832; married Mary Anthony (Molly) GARNETT on 16 Apr 1863; died on 3 Oct 1889.
2. James HOLLADAY, born on 16 Sep 1834; married Mattie N. EPPERSON on 10 Feb 1876, Adair County, Kentucky; died in 1918, Adair County, Kentucky.
3. William HOLLADAY, born on 6 Sep 1836 in Adair County, Kentucky; died on 26 Aug 1859.
4. Catherine HOLLADAY, born on 20 Nov 1838, Adair County, Kentucky; married Henry J. HENSON on 16 Mar 1858; died on 13 Mar 1865.
5 Frances HOLLADAY, born on 17 Sep 1841, Adair County, Kentucky; married Edmund Pendleton WAGGENER; died on 10 Sep 1904.

The asteroid Vesta does not qualify as a planet, not even a dwarf planet. But the giant asteroid has plenty to offer planetary scientists nonetheless.
Vesta appears to be a differentiated body, like Earth, with distinct layers of core, mantle and crust. It also features some pretty dramatic topography. This photomosaic of Vesta's south pole, from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, centers on one of the tallest mountains in the solar system. The central peak within the crater Rheasilvia rises 22 kilometers, comparable with Mars's Olympus Mons and much higher than any mountain on Earth.
The mosaic comprises roughly three dozen images acquired by the Dawn spacecraft's framing camera in 2011 and recently made available to the public. Daniel Macháček assembled the mosaic, along with several others, for his blog My Favorite Universe. In an English-language translation blog post for the Planetary Society, Macháček explained one curious feature of the mosaic—the unnatural pattern of shadows, which owes to Vesta's rapid rotation. "The shadows change so fast that there is not a set of images covering all of Vesta with the same lighting and from the same relative position of Vesta and Dawn," Macháček wrote. "My most viable option was to use the frames with the best lighting and minimal number of shadows."
Dawn shoved off from orbit around Vesta in September and headed for an even bigger asteroid. The spacecraft should arrive at Ceres, a body so large that it has been officially recognized as a dwarf planet, in 2015.

Little Giant Basketball to Hold Food Driveby Kim Johnson • November 14, 2007 Share:
This weekend when the Little Giant Basketball Team tips off its season it will also tip off the Holiday Season with giving and good cheer.
Friday and Saturday, Wabash will host the Tipoff Classic on Chadwick Court in the Allen Athletics Center. Coach Mac Petty and the Little Giant Basketball Team are encouraging all those in attendance to bring non-perishable food items and household goods to the games for the local FISH Food Pantry.
"We held a food drive a few years ago and just felt it was time for us to do something again," Petty said. "It doesn't cost anything to get into the game and this is an easy way for us and our fans to help others."
There will be collection sights right outside of Chadwick Court in the Allen Center both Friday evening and Saturday. "With all of the events on campus this weekend, we hope football and swimming fans will participate by bringing canned goods and other non-perishables too," Petty said.
The Little Giant basketball team will deliver all of the items collected during the weekend to First United Methodist Church for the FISH Pantry. All donations will stay in Montgomery County.
The Tipoff Classic begins with Humber College (12-2-1) taking on Indiana Wesleyan (3-3) at 6 p.m. The Little Giants will meet Kentucky Christian (4-2) at approximately 8 p.m. On Saturday, Humber will play Kentucky Christian at 1 p.m. and Wabash will take on Indiana Wesleyan at 3 p.m.
Other athletic events on the Wabash College campus this weekend include the first round NCAA Division III football playoff game with Mount St. Joseph at noon. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for students and are available now at the Wabash College Bookstore or at the gate on game day.
In addition, the swimming and diving team will host eight other teams at the Wabash Invitational. Events begin Friday night at 6 p.m. and continue on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. The Wabash Invitational is free of charge.
Come out and support the Little Giants in a great weekend of athletics and give back to the local community at the same time!

Karlyn Jones, Sara Parsons Earn MWC Softball Awards
Nevada junior centerfielder Sara Parsons and junior righthander have been named Mountain West Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for games through March 10. This is the first MW career weekly accolade for both players.
Parsons hit .556 (10-of-18) with eight RBI and six runs scored while helping Nevada to a 4-1 record last weekend at the Mustang Classic in San Luis Obispo, Calif. She registered four multi-hit outings over the five-game span, collecting three extra-base hits and one walk against no strikeouts. On Friday, the Fallon, Nev., native hit a three-run homer and two doubles as the Wolf Pack split its first two games of the tournament, defeating Northern Illinois, 8-3, before dropping a 9-7 decision to Sacramento State. Parsons was 6-for-7 at the plate over the two games, driving in six runs and scoring four more. She went 2-for-7 with one run scored and one walk on Saturday as Nevada defeated Rutgers, 2-1, and host Cal Poly, 5-2. In Sunday's 12-0 shutout of Rutgers, Parsons was 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored. For the week, she registered slugging and on-base percentages of .833 and .600, respectively. Defensively, Parsons recorded seven putouts without an error from her centerfield position.
Jones made three starts in four appearances for Nevada during the Mustang Classic, registering three complete games en route to a 3-0 record and 1.31 earned run average. The Sparks, Nev., product scattered 13 hits over 21.1 innings of work, giving up four earned runs and five walks while striking out 23 batters. She pitched seven innings with nine strikeouts to earn the 8-3 victory against Northern Illinois on Friday, giving up three runs (all earned) and two walks. Parsons worked 1.1 scoreless innings of the Pack's 9-7 loss to Sacramento State later that day, striking out two batters and walking one. She pitched eight innings with nine strikeouts to beat Rutgers, 2-1, on Saturday, giving up four hits, two walks and one earned run. On Sunday, Parsons struck out three while closing tournament play with a four-hit shutout in a 12-0, five-inning win over Rutgers.

Happy Columbus Day
Today is Columbus Day which has been a federal holiday since 1937 and of course is to celebrate Christopher Columbus's first journey to the Americas.
Interestingly South Dakota, Hawaii and Alaska do not celebrate Columbus Day or treat it as a legal holiday and in recent years other states, including Texas & California no longer allow government workers to use it as a paid holiday.
Locally there are some schools that have regular sessions today and others that give students off but have teachers reporting for an in-service. More and more banks are now open but the Post Office is closed. If you really think about it, the second Monday of October is really a waste of a holiday but I'll admit I'm saying that partly because our company does not observe it unless your name is Chris Columbus.
If you are off today go out and celebrate by visiting one of the many businesses holding some type of holiday sale.
What I love most about sports is that the more you know the less you know. Many of us so-called "sports fans" think we have games figured out before they start. Take for example last Friday's high school football matchup between Neptune and Brick Memorial. Both teams were 4-0 coming into the game but just about everyone with an opinion, including yours truly predicted the Scarlet Fliers would be too much for Memorial.
So what happens? The Mustangs dominate the second half and collects a 40-28 victory in a game we broadcast on the Shore Sports Network. What I do know is Memorial has some tough, hard-nosed football players including Ryan Cieplinski, Cody Pinho and Nick Costa, who was our Klee's Bar & Grill/Ocean Trophies Player of the Game.
No rest for the Stangs though as they prepare for Toms River North this Friday.
Former Brick Memorial standout Garrett Graham will have his own rooting section tonight as plenty of family and friends will be making the trip to MetLife Stadium to see the Houston Texans tight end as they play the Jets. Graham is getting more and more playing time in his third season with the Texans after a terrific career at the University of Wisconsin and with starter Owen Daniels hurting you might see plenty of #88 tonight. Houston is one of only two undefeated teams in the NFL.

ATLANTIC, Va. (AP) — NASA is using former military surveillance drones to help study how tropical storms intensify.
The unmanned Global Hawk aircraft are taking off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where they're studying storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA officials say while forecasting models predicting a storm's path have improved greatly over the past few decades, there hasn't been much progress producing models that predict a hurricane's strength.
Two Global Hawks have been equipped with instruments to study the overall environment of tropical storms as well as their structure. Scientists are primarily interested in learning the impact of the dusty Saharan Air Layer and thunderstorms found within a tropical storm.
The drones are used because they can fly longer than traditional research aircraft.

Stonecoast residencies are a lively yet meditative experience in a stunning natural environment, designed to provide valuable and substantial new ideas to absorb into your writing during the following semester. Think of the most creatively stimulating literary conference you've ever attended, combined with a festive reunion of dear friends old and new. Workshops in the morning are followed by an lunch, afternoon seminars and panels, and readings from faculty and visiting writers in the evening. Then there is the traditional student-led talent show and plenty of student open mics.
Some Student Reflections on the Residencies:
"At some point during the first half of the residency you may ask yourself, "What day is it?" Your concept of time will be completely altered. Your ten-day residency survival packet will replace your watch. The outside world will feel like a distant memory. Do not worry, something will jar you back into reality. At other times it might come in the form of a bracing walk through the snow-draped forest of Wolf Neck State Park, or a stroll down through the heather to bask by the sparkling water of Casco Bay.
"Another curious phenomenon which students will experience during the residency is "Stonecoast Sensory Altercation" syndrome. This syndrome can be defined as a condition where all sensory information becomes a muse for writing. From the sound of your workshop leader's sneezes to the simple ergonomics of a paper clip, anything you smell, taste, hear or touch can trigger a novel, short story or poem . . ."
"Intense bonds are formed, unforgettable moments occur and old ideas are challenged. The unique setting of the Stone House is an inspiration in itself with its magnificent architecture and beautiful location. The name Stone House and the image of a stone house conjure up the power of place. I'm always inspired here. It's a home. Years from now we'll all be saying that our 'becoming' as writers happened here."
What to Expect from a Residency
In many ways, a residency resembles a writer's conference, but the fact that all the students and faculty are committed to the same academic program adds a level of community and ongoing seriousness to the experience. Intense bonds are formed, unforgettable moments occur and old ideas are challenged.
Each residency lasts 10 days, plus one day to check-in. The general set-up of the residency is described below. A more detailed schedule with exact times and locations of events is e-mailed to all students and faculty a two months prior to each residency and distributed at check-in. (The schedule may be subject to change based upon program needs.)
Students and faculty stay together in Freeport at the Harraseeket Inn.
General Schedule for the Residency
On the first day, all students will check in and receive a residency packet that will include the final residency schedule, any new or changed information on faculty and courses, and maps to the locations where the various residency events will be held. This residency packet will be your ten-day survival guide, so treat it well! The MFA office will notify new students of the required arrival time. Following check-in, new students attend an informative New Student Orientation Session.
Dinner is not included in the Room and Board plan except as otherwise noted in the residency schedule. There are several fine restaurants in all price ranges in the Freeport area, and a list will be provided at check-in. Students generally go out to dinner as a group or in small groups.
After the dinner break on the first day, all students will attend an introductory meeting and reading where the faculty will be introduced and several faculty members will read from their work. The location will be announced in the residency schedule. Readings are held almost every night during each residency.
Each residency is divided into two parts: the first half and the second half. During the first half of the residency, you will be assigned to a workshop conducted by one or two faculty members. Your workshop assignment will change with the arrival of new faculty for the second half of the residency. You will then have a new workshop leader or leaders and a new workshop group. The schedules for the two parts differ, so it is essential to keep your residency survival packet with you at all times. If you lose it, you could end up kayaking with L.L. Bean's Outdoor Adventure School instead of attendinga seminar on Post-Modernism!
During the first half of the residency, the general schedule consists of graduating student seminars, workshops, lunch, and faculty seminars. These scheduled events will all take place at the Harraseeket Inn. There will be a break for dinner followed by student and/or faculty readings.
Another residency requirement: Mentor Interview Sessions. These interviews occur during both the first and the second half of the residency. In a Mentor Interview Session, students will meet in a group with faculty in order to determine their preference for a mentor during the upcoming semester. Students may also choose to participate in "after-hour" gatherings held practically every night at a local restaurant or in the commons area of the hotel. Forgo sleep and join these get-togethers. The conversations, discussions, and laughter you share with your fellow Stonecoasters will come to encourage your development as both a writer and a person.
The second half of the residency is marked by the arrival of new faculty and the departure of many first half faculty.
Although the faculty and workshop groups have changed, the general format of the schedule remains the same. This schedule will again consist of workshops, faculty seminars, lunch, and graduating student seminars. Following dinner, readings will take place. Students can also expect a welcome reception for second half faculty, a current student reading (make sure you sign up and read your work!), a graduation ceremony and celebration and Mentor Interview Sessions (remember, you do this twice). The whole purpose for these interview sessions is to prepare you for choosing a mentor. Students will be required to fill out a mentor preference form listing their top three choices for a mentor to be submitted to Stonecoast administration. After the names of faculty and their mentees are posted, students will then be required to set up a conference with their designated mentor to formulate a semester project. (Contact information will be provided for those faculty members who were present only during the first half of the residency.)
On the final day, students will submit residency and workshop evaluations, along with semester study plans, to a Stonecoast staff member. All students must submit this paperwork in order to receive official credit for the residency. Students will also check-out. It is now safe to put away your residency survival packet. You have officially survived Stonecoast! Just think, only six months, and you will get to do it all over again.
Residency dates may change occasionally due to program needs.
