Solomon Gerber has filled 14 passports visiting every country in the world. Paul Edwards reports.
The walls of Solomon Gerber's room in the Owen Dixon Chambers are lined with law books, with a strong focus on income tax legislation. That's understandable - he is a barrister and chartered accountant.
But his cupboard is crammed with editions of Lonely Planet travel guides and he claims to be the first Australian to have visited every country in the world.
His achievement was a near thing - Toorak orthopaedic surgeon Dr Hugh Hadley has just left on a journey to claim his last two countries - Sierra Leone and Liberia.
"I spent New Year's Eve in Baghdad, and Iraq was the last on my list," says 54-year-old Gerber.
"I'm confident this made me the only Australian to have visited every country. There has always been friendly rivalry between Dr Hadley and me, but it was never a race. Neither of us has anything to prove."
Hadley, 75, agrees: "I suppose visiting every country is an achievement in its own right, but the spirit that has driven me is a deep love of travel, history and the people of the world. Some of my travel has been quite uncomfortable - I don't particularly like extreme heat and humidity - and I've had the odd health problem while overseas, but I've enjoyed it all enormously.
"I would like everyone to travel more, and those who now travel a lot to study the ordinary people wherever they go, rather than the people they meet on business or those with whom they share a holiday. They'd get a different outlook on how the world works and how problems build up. I suspect that greater understanding would help solve many problems."
When someone claims to have visited every country in the world, it prompts the standard journalistic questions: who? what? when? where? why? and how? Most importantly, it prompts the imperative: prove it. As a lawyer, Gerber understands the need for testimony that withstands scrutiny.
He is a hoarder and has kept air tickets, boarding passes, photographs and other documents. He has 14 passports - 10 Australian and four from his native South Africa. And while the pages and visas mark his comings and goings around the world, they don't fully document the tricky situations he has encountered.
"Being Jewish, I have had to be particularly careful in parts of the world where we might not be the favourite people," he says. "You learn to keep your mouth shut when you sense any potential for trouble.
"But, when you think about it, people rarely ask your religion. They might ask where I'm from, and it has usually been OK to be from Australia.
"In some Middle Eastern countries, they have asked if the name Solomon is the same as their own name Suleiman, and, rather than get involved in a semantic discussion, I simply say I think it is, which is basically correct. It might be stupid to go around advertising that I'm Jewish, so why do it?"
Gerber usually travels on his own and has developed a strong sense of self preservation.
"In many places, I avoid discussions about religion or politics; in some places, I keep conversation to an absolute minimum. In a few, I have simply run away - for instance Cambodia, when everyone said the Khmer Rouge reign was over, but they were premature."
He says there is a big difference between travelling and simply touring.
"These days, I don't do much sightseeing and almost never visit museums, cathedrals, galleries and the like . . . Instead, I like to get on the street and see what makes a country tick. I travel light, usually with a backpack."
How does he manage the expense?
"I saw recently a brochure for a tour of Iran and Afghanistan costing more than $13,000 exclusive of airfares. I am confident I could replicate that tour for $1500. My hotels might not be as good, but they'd be good enough. And I'd get to meet Iranians and Afghans at their own level - on buses, trains and on the street."
Gerber has a strategy he uses whenever he thinks he looks like a good target for thieves. On a bus or a train, he'll unpack his backpack as if he is seeking something. He takes everything out, then stuffs it all back in. Apart from a few books, there is nothing but clothes - often in need of a laundry. Nothing worth pinching. Even then, he says, if people really wanted his few possessions, he'd let them have them.
Hadley usually travels more comfortably, often with his wife, although he is going alone to notch up his last two countries.
"I'm sure Sierra Leone and Liberia are both fascinating countries, but they're certainly not glamorous or comfortable," he says. "I shall go there alone and then meet up with my wife for a holiday in Sardinia, Corsica, Alsace and Paris.
"Although Solly has beaten me to the record, I have been travelling longer. Way back in the early '50s, when I was studying medicine in London for six years, we backpacked around Europe and other places. I suppose if I had put on a bit of a spurt, I could have claimed the record years ago, but it's not important.
"In fact, I have landed at Sierra Leone previously, but they wouldn't let me into the country because of visa problems. So I couldn't count that as a genuine visit - just the tarmac."
At the last count by the United Nations, the world has 193 countries. An American body called the Travellers Century Club - for people who have visited at least 100 countries - also has a list of 317 locations that are either countries or are removed from parent countries, either geographically, politically or ethnologically.
Gerber has visited 300 of these, which, incongruously, include Tasmania and Norfolk Island. His odyssey began when he was 22 and left South Africa for the first time. The first entries in his first passport show he travelled to Swaziland, Southern Rhodesia and Mozambique.
"Huge parts of the world wouldn't accept South African travellers because of apartheid and other issues," he says. "At the same time, my country wouldn't accept travellers from the Soviet bloc and other places because it was thought they might inspire rebellion. I migrated to Australia in 1988, qualified for a passport two years later, and was overwhelmed by the freedom that passport gave me.
"But it's just about over now . . . I'm going to settle down and do my PhD and try to get a pilot's licence."

At CES 2013 smartphones with 5-inch display, the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL. were shown with 1920 × 1080 points (FullHD, super fine 443 dpi),Xperia Z is powered a by 1.5 GHz quad-core processor. Sony Xperia ZL is a bit shorter and thicker than the Xperia Z. It comes with a 5-inch screen and a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor.
Xperia Z can stay underwater for 30 minutes. Xperia Z That has a huge screen which is very thin (7.9 mm), and thanks to an extremely narrow (14 cm × 7 cm), the weight is 146 grams for the size in order. The impression is that Xperia Z has a glass front and back, According to Sony, it is dust repelent and water resistant (IP55/57)which means, among other things, it survived a 30-minute dive. The camera takes photos with 13 megapixels and will show Pictures with enhanced HDR strengths.
The phone is Pretty thin And it has a with 2 GB of RAM memory and a fast 1.5 GHz quad-core processor ( Qualcomm APQ8064 krait) its probably one of the fastest phones. Serve with the LTE module. Up to 16 GB of memory is installed, of which 4 GB is occupied, a MicroSD slot is available. The rest of the features with NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, front camera, GPS / Glonass, HDMI / MHL video output
equivalent to the high end. Interestingly, it supports Miracast, with the only really introduced Android 2.4 to connect possibility external monitors via WLAN, a receiver has Netgear at CES announced that it will cost $ 50 and start in April in the U.S..
In the first quarter Sony will deliver the Xperia Z, the 16-gigabyte version will cost 650 euros and then in black, white and purple will be available.
Xperia ZL has a 5-inch display and photo shutter button. About Xperia ZL Sony reveals little. It therefore has no LTE, a slightly thicker (9.8 mm) and again even smaller plastic case – it is not waterproof. Processor, display and camera are the same as the Xperia Z. Handy for photos: A hardware button triggers the camera.

The LG Optimus 3D VS Samsung Galaxy 3D
The LG Optimus 3D was the first mobile handset introduced into the marketplace with 3D facilities. Due to the fact its release we have noticed the variety of handsets boasting this technology slowly but steadily increasing. The newest type because of hit the shelves is the Galaxy 3D from Samsung, manufacturers in the award winning Galaxy S2. So is the Samsung worth holding on for or does the LG nonetheless remain a single in the greatest phones of its kind?
It appears that despite being a few months younger than the LG the Samsung doesn't really boast any actual rewards when it comes to screen performance. The Optimus 3D offers a quality 4.3 inch display which offers a great normal of image thanks to a high 480 x 800 resolution. The capacitive touchscreen uses a parralax barrier to allow users to view material in 3D. This really is a screen that is placed in front in the phones display, which comprises of the series of precisely placed slits. Every set of slits enables one more eye to see one more set of pixels which leaves the brain to merge these two differing images and arrive up using a 3D result. The technology works surprisingly well and has also been applied on other devices for instance the Nintendo 3DS. It appears as whilst the Galaxy 3D is heading to match what LG offer in this area but not exceed it meaning screen size and resolution remain the same. The result of this can be that there is really smaller to choose in between the two models in terms of quality.
One area where the LG Optimus 3D does arrive out on top is when we think about the type in the two phones. LG have established a tradition for generating great searching mobiles and this single is no exception. In an effort to generate the phone feel being a more premium device the manufacturers have opted to use quality metals in significantly in the phones construction instead of plastic. The result does mean how the phone is slightly weighty at 168 grammes but this adds to the overall premium feel. Samsung have approached this area from one more angle and decided to rely upon a plastic back panel, which makes the handset really lightweight but also much less robust. The overall pounds in the Samsung is attractive but if we had to choose a single we would opt for the sturdy and premium feeling LG type each time.
The Samsung Galaxy 3D will definitely be a hit with consumers even so there is nonetheless plenty of life left inside the LG Optimus 3D and it makes a great account of itself in this comparison.

Thirty-three years ago this morning I made the best move of my life. I married Ray Hildebrand and thus began the best days of my 64 years. I married my best friend, my soul mate and the love of my life. We were pretty much inseparable. We both worked but after work, we spent all our time together. We liked each other, we enjoyed our time together, we were at our happiest when it was just us together. It was as close to being idyllic as anything could be.
I was the one with the hair-trigger temper; the one who'd get upset and yell. He was the calm one, the one who just let me rant and rave, who never once raised his voice back to me and when I was tired, he'd put his arm around me and I'd forget why I got mad in the first place.
Ray always supported my endeavors or, as he referred to them, my "windmill tilting" ventures. When I started MADD in the early 80s, we had $26,000 saved for a new home. By the end of the first year, I had spent every penny getting MADD off the ground and our savings was gone. Ray never once complained or expressed dismay that the savings had not only been depleted but were totally gone. Instead, when I would have conflicting schedules, he would fill in for me at functions, speaking or doing whatever needed to be done. I recall two specific occasions where he was identified as "Mr. Suzanne Hildebrand". He never took issue. He knew who he was and he was comfortable in his own identity.
By the same token, I was Ray's biggest supporter and fan. When he ran for Live Oak City Council and served two terms as council member, and then ran for, and served two terms as Mayor, I worked hard in his behalf. We were a team. We embraced life as one. One heart beat between us.
Monday morning I was searching the kitchen for something. I went to a cabinet where the cups are kept. Since I don't drink coffee, I never go into that cabinet but this morning, I was desperate. As I looked through, I was moving things around on the second shelf. At the very back, I discovered a coffee mug with something sticking out of it. I looked and found a package of Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips – the kind used for cookies. There was a clip on the top of the package. I just sat down in the floor and cried. Ray loved those chips and wasn't supposed to eat them so he'd hide them from me. I had just found his stash – they had been there at least three years, untouched by him. I left them there.
As Fiesta commences, I can't help but think about the roasted corn vendor on the corner across from the courthouse. Ray would stop there every day and bring me roasted corn home after work.
We spent our anniversaries in 2009 and 2010 at RIOSA while he was in rehab. I always had dinner catered and I always sent him yellow roses as he had done for me all the prior years.
Our last "normal" anniversary was in 2008, nine days before he had his stroke. That year he gave me a beautiful wall hanging that reads "Always kiss me good night". I always do.

Harry Ulrey, 24, living at 2435 South New Jersey Street, Indianapolis, died at his home yesterday afternoon. He was a soldier in the Spanish-American War and served three years in the Philippine Islands, being mustered out of service after his fourth attack of sickness.
While in the army, Ulrey was laid out for burial four times. The fourth time he was carried to the "dead house" and lay there seven hours before regaining consciousness. Had he remained in an unconscious condition a few hours longer he would have been buried alive.
When the fatal yellow fever broke out in the islands, Ulrey was one of the first men of his regiment to contract it and before he reached the United States he had the fever three times.
The funeral will be held at the house Wednesday morning. The burial will be at Crow Hill.
Mr. Ulrey was a cousin of Mrs.
W. D. Monarch, of this city.
Mrs. Katharine H. Edson, widow of the late Capt. Willis B. Edson, died at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. G. P. Hartwell, on the morning of Jan. 29th, 1905. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church at 2:30 o'clock Monday. The service of the Episcopal church, of which she was a lifelong member, was conducted by Father Rolan, of Cairo. Appropriate and beautiful music was rendered by a quartette during the service and at the close of a short address was delivered by Rev. Fidler, pastor of the church.
Mrs. Edson had been making her home in Westfield, N.Y., with her daughter, Mrs. Charles Fosdie, for the past five years, but has been visiting friends here and in Cairo since early fall. She recently developed a case of la grippe, which gradually suffered her life away. She was a large-hearted, sympathetic, loveable woman, who always carried sunshine with her in her early life, having a kind word for everyone. The world was better because of her life and good deeds, and her memory will be revered longest by those who knew her best.
Having lived to the ripe old age of 83
years, and having the consciousness of having passed a well
spent life, she quietly went to sleep. Her remains
were laid to rest by the side of that of her husband in the
Villa Ridge cemetery.
The relatives of the late Mrs. Kate H.
Edson extend thanks to the friends and neighbors who
rendered material aid and sympathy during her illness.
Ernest Armstrong departed this

Friday Morning, February 17. Pays Penalty of Death on the
Gallows. Nervy to the Last Breath. A Great Crowd
Gathered Around the Place of Execution, and Many Saw the
Mathis Slayer Executed.
Eli Bugg, colored, was duly executed at the county jail in this city, at 10:16 this forenoon. Sheriff James R. Weaver sprang the death trap, and the knot dislocated the neck. About two hundred people witnessed the execution, about one thousand stood around on the commons nearby.
The sheriff permitted the condemned man to walk among the spectators, tell them good-bye, offer advice, and indulge in other talk. He declared that he was innocent of this particular crime.
He admitted having been a bad citizen and hoped that all present would take a lesson from his life.
He declared that he had fully embraced religion, and that he was going to the good world. Following is a history of the crime, trial and other circumstances of the case:
History of Eli Bugg's Crime.
On July 23, 1894, Eli Bugg and Will Cross went from Mounds to Wetaug together to attend a picnic and barbecue, which was given that day and night near the latter place. They were chums, and on arrival at Wetaug about noon, they proceeded to the picnic grounds, and on a plot of ground near the picnic, they proceeded to erect two gambling devices, in which business they were partners. In the afternoon about dark while Will Cross was returning to the picnic grounds after taking a young woman home, he got into some sort of a difficulty with Christ Mathis, the deceased, in which deceased knocked Will Cross down. Cross became angered at Mathis on account of the difficulty, and had tried to procure a revolver from several parties there for the purpose of shooting Mathis.
In this he was assisted by Eli Bugg, who at various times during the evening had advised Cross to kill Mathis. At one time telling Cross if he could not get a revolver, to get a club and beat the d--- s-- of a b----'s brains out. Charles Bonner and James Bonner, two half brothers of deceased, were doing all in their power to prevent Cross from shooting their brother, and to that end had begged of Bugg and Cross not to shoot their brother.
Bugg, upon several occasions that night stated to Cross: "If that d--- nigger was in Mounds, he would have been dead long ago. Kill the d--- nigger." Bugg finally succeeded in getting a revolver from one Arch Murphy for Cross, and just preceding the killing, Charles Bonner was talking to Cross, trying to get him to desist from doing his brother any harm, when Chris Mathis came up and made an apology to Cross, saying: "Will, I am sorry I struck you. I thought you were the man who knocked me down on the steamer Stacker Lee, down on the Mississippi River and robbed me of my money. I find I was mistaken, and I want to apologize to you. I have done you wrong. You may kick me, knock me down or do anything to me, but please do not kill me."
Whereupon Will Cross said: "That is all right." Then Mathis said: "Take a drink?" offering all present a drink out of a bottle of whisky which he had in his hand. Then Eli Bugg stepped up and said: "That is a d--- poor way to settle a thing like that, with a drink of whisky, Will Cross; if a s-- of a b---- should do me as Chris Mathis did you, the sun would never rise on him. Shoot the s-- of a b----." Whereupon Will Cross drew a revolver and shot and instantly killed Chris Mathis. Immediately after the shooting both Bugg and Cross fled. Cross has never been apprehended.
History of the Trial.
At the September Special Term of the Circuit Court when Bugg's case was called for trial, he entered a plea of guilty, and upon being informed by the court that he would not sentence him until he heard evidence, Bugg withdrew his plea of guilty and entered a plea of not guilty. Whereupon a jury was empanelled to try the case and on September 17, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, fixing his punishment at death. A motion for a new trial was made on account of the importance of the case, and in order to give the defendant every show for his life, the court postponed the hearing of the motion for a new trial until November, when the motion was argued and overruled, and Bugg sentenced to be executed on December 16, 1904.
Upon petition, Governor Yates gave him a reprieve until January 13, 1905, in order to allow the case to be presented to the Board of Pardons, and on account of the severe illness of Governor Deneen's daughter, Governor Yates gave him an additional stay until January 27; when, on the recommendation of the Board of Pardons, and on their recommendation, Governor Deneen refused to interfere with the judgment of the court. It seems from the above that Bugg was given every opportunity to demonstrate his innocence of the crime.
It is reported that Bugg killed a fellow prisoner while serving a term for the killing of Charles Arnold.
The sheriffs who witnessed the execution were: Sheriff Veach, Johnson County; J. G. Moonyham, Saline; G. J. Slem, Franklin; H. S. Harris, Williamson; T. P. Thorp, Jackson; J. M. Connely, White; L. J. Hess, Union; M. R. Waukup, Perry; E. N. Smith, Massac; W. S. Jenkins, Pope; V. A. Mills, Gallatin; J. S. Roach, Alexander; A. C. Hentz, Williamson; and a number of prominent people out of the country; also a large number from the various precinct in this county.
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom to remove from out midst, our esteemed neighbor, Peter Smith.
WHEREAS, This camp mourns the loss of a highly esteemed neighbor, and his wife a kind and loving husband, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, as members of Mound City Camp No. 5151, M. W. of A., extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in this hour of their affliction and sorrow, and be it further
RESOLVED, That as a mark of respect to
our departed neighbor, our charter be draped in mourning for
a period of thirty days, that a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Camp, and one furnished to
each of our city papers for publication

H. L. Boren, more familiarly known as Lawrence in Pulaski County and the south, had the misfortune to run a splinter in his hand while handling baggage on his run from Little Rock to St. Louis and died last week in the hospital at St. Louis from blood poison. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mary, aged twelve, and Earline, aged six; who reside in Little Rock, Ark.
Mr. Boren was for a time
messenger on the Big Four from Cairo to Danville. He
went from here on a run from Memphis to New Orleans, from
this run he accepted one on the Missouri Pacific from Little
Rock to Coffeyville, Kansas, and on this run he was in a
wreck, (one of many) and resigned, accepting a position with
the Hutt Grocery Co., on Main Street, Little Rock.
The World's Fair creating a big demand for good and reliable
men of experience, he was earnestly solicited to again take
a run from Little Rock to St. Louis, which proved to be his
last. Mr. Boren in his time was one of the best
messengers on the road, and was well liked by the railroad
men and all who knew him, being of a jovial and kind
disposition. He had many friends in this county and
they will regret to learn of his very sad death.

Miss Anna Laura Hayden, aged 19 years, only child of Mrs. Ida M. Hayden, a highly esteemed woman residing 4 miles north of Mound City, swallowed a quantity of corrosive sulfimate last week Monday, thinking it was quinine, and from which she died last Sunday night. Everything possible was done to relieve the unfortunate girl, but the murderous poison had done its work too well before succor came, and death came to her as a happy relief. That entire community has been saddened by the terrible accident, for Miss Laura, was a highly esteemed and lovable girl. She leaves a lone and heart-broken mother to mourn her death. Funeral took place Tuesday, and her remains were laid to rest in Beechwood Cemetery.
Miss Anna Laura Hayden was the only child of Douglas A. and Ida M. Hayden. Her father, the oldest of W. T. Hayden, and her baby brother preceding her, they having died when she was 2 years of age. The deceased was born March 13, 1884, on what is known as the Webster Corner, three miles north of Mound City, Ill. Anna Laura was reared in the Meridian school district, which school she attended and had just finished the grades of the Pulaski County public schools. Her age was nineteen years and nineteen days and was a most lovable disposition, admired by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance; intelligent and of a sunny disposition, the only companion of her now disconsolate mother.

Fritz Neilson, aged 32 years, a
bartender in William Neadstine's saloon, this city,
shot here through the head Tuesday noon, expiring instantly.
He had been on a drunk for two days and had sobered up
preparatory to going to work, but in a supposed fit of
melancholia, in his efforts to keep sober, grabbed a
revolver behind the counter and committed the act in the
presence of a crowd of customers and before none could
interfere. Fritz came to this city less than two years
ago, and was a good hearted and industrious man when sober.
His relatives all reside in Germany. A coroner's
inquest was held over the remains, and next forenoon they
were buried in Beech Grove Cemetery.
T. M. Hileman, a prominent merchant at Ullin in this county, shot and killed an unknown negro supposed burglar in his store at 1:30 Tuesday morning. Hileman has been sleeping in his store lately because of the many robberies and fires thereabouts, and was awaked this time by the breaking of one of his front windows. Within half an hour the man returned and crawling through the broken window entered the store. Hileman spoke to him and receiving no reply fired hitting in the face and killing him instantly. A well-loaded revolver was found on his person. Hileman was exonerated by the coroner's jury.

At Cairo last Friday, Clarence Irvin was sentenced to the state penitentiary for life for the killing of a saloonkeeper at Thebes. The Citizen thus reports in part:
"Young, handsome, in the full flower of his young manhood, it is no wonder that his face was ashen and his chin trembled with strong emotion as he faced his punishment.
"The trial of Clarence Irvin for the murder of John Petit at Thebes on July 15th last came to an end this morning, when the work of securing a jury was stopped and the defendant determined to throw himself upon the mercy of the court. Four layers had been retained to defend him and they would have gone ahead and done what they could for the young man, but the evidence was against him, he confessed the killing, and there was not hope before him of escaping punishment.
The scene was an impressive one.
While the court admonished the defendant no other sound
could be heard in the courtroom. Judge Butler
told young Irvin that he had known his father and
mother and had always respected them. He told him that
he had watched him and his sister grow up from childhood.
She said that he had esteemed them both, and for that reason
it was very hard for him to pass sentence upon him.
'This is the sixty-fourth homicide case that I have in the
twenty-two years since I began to practice as an attorney in
this county,' added the court, 'and I have yet to find one
in which whisky was not at the bottom of the trouble.'
He pointed out to the young man that his punishment was the
result of his own misdeed and referred to his service for
his country in the Spanish-American War. 'Yet,' he
added, 'the jury might go so far as to exact the extreme
penalty—the death sentence, after hearing the evidence that
has been presented.' The court was visibly affected,
as was nearly everyone in the room."

Mrs. James Holmes, A Mound City Pioneer, Passed Away in St. Louis, on Monday
Mrs. Mary A. Holmes, one of the pioneers of Mound City, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ed. H. Bintliff, 5540 Clemens Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, June 12, 1905, in the 87th year of her age.
Mary Ann Sidebottom was born in Pulaski County, Kentucky, Nov. 26, 1818. When a mere child she removed with her parents to Lexington, Ky., so that it may be said that all of her young life and her earlier married life were passed in that city. September 2, 1838, she was united in marriage to James Holmes. The fruits of this marriage were six children—two sons and four daughters. Both sons died in early life. The daughters, Mrs. Josephine Goodloe and Mrs. Ed. H. Bintliff, of St. Louis, Mrs. F. H. Wait, of Chicago, and Mrs. H. H. Rogers, of Highland Park, survive her, as do six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
In the fall of 1856, in company with her husband and small family, she came to Mound City, being, as before stated, one of the pioneers, and almost the last. Mr. Holmes came here with the Emporium Co., which founded the city, and it was practically a wilderness at that time, the family having to go through the woods from the river landing to one of the Emporium Co.'s houses, which they occupied.
When a young girl, Mrs. Holmes united with the Christian Church, and the Christian principles there inculcated have lasted her a lifetime, and have been a great source of comfort to her, especially in the declining years of her life, although she has not been an active church member for many years.
Mrs. Holmes left Mound City, July 3, 1887, to live with her daughters in Kankakee, Chicago and St. Louis.
Mrs. Holmes was in many ways a remarkable woman. An indomitable and constant reader, there were few books worthy of note that she had not read, and was a persistent investigator in realms of thought not usual to women. In addition to this, she has not let a daily paper pass without a close perusal. Living in the greater part of a century that has been replete with history making epochs, she has kept in close touch with everything that has been of interest throughout the globe. She has been especially interested in the conflict between Russia and Japan, hoping most earnestly for Japan's success. Last year she was only able, owing to advancing infirmities, to visit the World's Fair but once, but on that visit she saw a Japanese, and made her companions stop while she went and shook hands with him, and congratulated him on the success of his countrymen in the field and on the sea. And now, with the end of that great conflict in sight, with victory perched upon the Japanese banners, and peace in sight, she has passed from the activities of this life into the peace and unknown joys of the perfect life to come. Vigorous in the body and mind, the struggle of the great conqueror for victory has been terrible, and was only won inch by inch.
Mrs. Holmes' last illness began February 8, with a severe attack of the grip, which was all but fatal. She recovered from this, however, only to fall a victim of senile gangrene, superinduced by her advanced age, a system depleted by the previous attack, and a long period of sedentary habits. Her daughters, Mrs. Goodloe, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Bintliff were with her during her last sickness.
The interment occurred at Beech Grove on Wednesday afternoon, her remains being placed beside those of her husband, who had preceded her to the other side some twenty years. Many old friends paid their last tribute.
An active life is ended, a wonderful brain is still forever, but many remain behind to tell of the good done them by contact with this superior among womankind.

"No death has occurred in Mayfield for many years that has shocked the whole community more than that of Mrs. E. G. Fristoe, at her home in this city last evening about 8:30 o'clock. While it was known that she was sick of typhoid fever, yet no one thought her to be as near death as she was. In fact, her physicians had dismissed the case, and she was thought to be on the road to a speedy recovery. But the disease that oftimes comes without warning, heart failure, stole upon her while she was thought to be resting peacefully, and she passed away with no one in the room with her. Her family, with a few friends, were on the porch talking, and when her death was discovered, half an hour after it occurred, it came upon them with a blow that has been hard for them to bear, and the sympathies of the entire community are extended them in this sad hour.
"The deceased was a member of the Baptist Church in this city, and was one of the most beloved Christian ladies of the town. In her home life she was loving, kind and gentle with her children and was a helpmate to her husband in all that word implies, sharing his sorrows and triumphs as though they were her own.
"Mrs. Fristoe's maiden name was Charlotte Corday Carter, and she was born in Mound City, Ill., in the year 1873, being at the time of her death aged 32 years. She was married to Mr. E. G. Fristoe, of this city, in September 1893, and three children, Margaret, Eiltz and Hilda, blessed their union of nearly twelve years. Besides these of her immediate family she leaves a father, H. G. Carter, and one brother, Harry Carter, both of Mound City, Ill. These are expected tonight."
Mrs. Fristoe was well and favorably known to all of the earlier residents of Mound City. She was a niece of Mrs. D. Hogan, who because of an accident last week, was prevented from attending the funeral, which with the burial took place at Mayfield.

Fred Dumm, aged 35 years, head sawyer and mill foreman of the O. L. Bartlett hoop factory in this city, was so badly injured at the mill about 2 p.m. Monday, that he died at Dr. Hall Whiteaker's office an hour later.
Mr. Dumm has been a resident of Mound City for 19 years past, and had been a foreman at the Williamson-Kuny Mills there for many years up to eight days before his death, when he resigned to accept his position at the hoop factory.
In a large sawmill the sawyer does not ride the carriage, as has been before published, but stands upon the floor and handles the levers that control the log carriages and saws. On the occasion of the accident, which causes Mr. Dumm's death, he had stopped the carriage at the further end of the truck and left his post to fix something about the saw, neglecting to lock the lever as is the rule. The shaking of the mill by the rapidly moving machinery and saws soon threw the lever over and set carriage in motion, and before Dumm realized his situation he was pinned between oncoming carriage and the corner of the saw standard, where he was at work. He was caught on the left side just above the hip and his right leg thrown forward onto the saw. His brother, Charley Dumm, who was at work near him at the time, rushed to the lever and reversed the machinery, but it was too late, he was mortally injured and his right leg badly lacerated by the saw. Mr. Bartlett ordered the mill shut down and the injured man taken to Dr. Whiteaker's office where, with the assistance of Dr. Boswell, of Mounds, everything possible was done, but he never regained consciousness and died a few minutes later. From there he was taken to the undertaker's and in due time to the family home.
Mr. Dumm was a man of excellent
character, a loving husband and father, and leaves an
invalid wife and an eight-year-old daughter to mourn his
untimely death. The funeral was held at the M. E.
church Wednesday and burial followed in Beechgrove Cemetery,
attended by the mill hands, the mill having by order of Mr.
Bartlett, remained idle from time of accident until
Thursday morning.

Being the victim of a serious accident on the railroad a number of years ago that rendered his eyesight very defective, he made but a few new acquaintances but was openly cordial to anyone who sought to become acquainted. For more than ten years he had had a serious form of heart trouble and about two months ago it assumed new and portentous aspects. He realized that this soon meant his end and he so stated his mind to his physicians. His last illness was a decided battle between life and death and was a losing fight. For three days and nights the watchers by his bedside waited and expected the end hourly. He sank by stages and would maintain a stage for hours at a time that would give hopes that he might be able to rally from the attack, but each state left him a little less vitality to meet the next attack, and at 1:30 Thursday morning he sank into a stupor that continued to the end. His wife and sister were constant attendants at his bedside until death relieved the soul of their beloved. Friends and neighbors and the lodges to which he belonged rendered every assistance possible to make his last hours on earth as easy as they might be made.
The funeral was conducted Saturday,
July 29, at the Baptist church, Rev. T. E. Watt of

Grandma Mary Mertz.
Mrs. Mary A. Mertz, relict of Judge George W. Mertz (for several years deceased), died at her home in this city on Monday, October 16th, 1905, at the advanced age of nearly 89 years.
Deceased was a native of the east, Maryland, and her maiden name was West. She resided, was reared and educated in the state of her nativity until after her marriage.
The couple immigrated to Mound City when this entire section was hardly more than a dense wilderness—57 years ago.
Her passing most assuredly removes a veritable landmark.
Four children were born to the twain. Three of these, Capt. George E. and Charles Mertz, of this city and Harry Mertz, of Carbondale, survive the venerable subject of this brief sketch. An unmarried daughter, Miss Ida M. Mertz, departed this sphere of existence in Mound City about eighteen years ago.
Mrs. Mertz left ten grandchildren, namely: Mrs. Charles Wehrenberg, Jr., Willie Mertz, Mrs. Will S. Sanderson, of this city and Mrs. Robert H. Newnhouse, of Fulton, Ky., children of George E. Mertz; Albert, Joe S. and Miss Allie, of Mound City, children of Charles W. Mertz; Misses Bertie and Dora of Carbondale and George of Ashley, Ill., children of Harry Mertz. She also left seven great-grandchildren —the four children of Charles Wehrenberg, Jr., the one of Will S. Sanderson and the two of Willie Mertz.
The deceased was a lady of bright intellect, unusual strength of character, charitable disposition and consequent popularity.
Her last illness was of several weeks' duration and, notwithstanding the suffering she endured and her unusual age, she bore it with consummate patients, fortitude and composure.
A funeral service was conducted at the home, corner of Main and Second streets—on Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, led by Rev. Humnberd, pastor of the Congregational Church, and the interment occurred at Beech Grove Cemetery, train per I. C. R.R. leaving this city at 2:25 p.m.
The following named well-known citizens comprised the pallbearers: Al Schuler, A. W. Williamson, L. D. Stophlet, Ed Keller, John T. Betts, George E. Martin, George Martin, Joseph Lutz, A. J. Dougherty, William Shearer, William Kennedy, Charles Read, J. P. Nesbitt, William Martin, Frank Bergaman, G. J. Murphy, and James Rushing.
Out of profound respect for the estimable lady's exemplary life and character, business was suspended during the funeral hour.

James F. Connell.
Born Nov. 25, 1850.
Died Nov. 10, 1905.
James Franklin Connell, the well known ex-newspaper man and popular resident of this city, died at his home about 11:30 a.m. last Friday, November 10, 1905, of pneumonia, after an illness of nearly ten days. His illness was very severe from the first, and though he rallied at times, the weakened condition of his system occasioned by attacks of various kinds during the past year, was unable to overcome the disease, and be quietly passed away surrounded by all the members of his family and many other relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held at the residence Sunday at 1 p.m., conducted by Rev. A. J. Littell. The attendance was large and the exercises quite impressive. The funeral sermon was from Rev. 22:5. "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever." Four hymns entitled "Rock of Ages," "Nearer My God to Thee," "It is Well with My Soul," and "Asleep in Jesus," were sung at the residence. "Jesus Lover of My Soul" was sung at the grave. The funeral train of four coaches left this city at 2:30 p.m. for Beech Grove Cemetery where the interment took place. The pallbearers were George E. Martin, Al. Schuler, John Dishinger, Charles Curren, M.F. Browner, J. P. Nesbitt, J. Lutz and George Martin.
Mr. Connell was born in Cheatham County, Tennessee, Nov. 25, 1850. He came to Illinois with his parents in 1863 and located at Marion. His father was a cabinetmaker by occupation, but James F. learned the printer's trade, and later was editor and publisher of the Egyptian Press at that place. May 1, 1869, he married Miss Lizzie Broad of that city, and to them was born six children, four of whom, Frank of Cairo, James A. and Dana of Chicago, and Irvin of this city now survive.
His first wife having died at Marion in 1883, he married again the following year, in the same city to the present widow. To this union were born Bryson of St. Louis, Roy of Chicago, and Miss Mona at home, all of whom are well grown and living from home, excepting the last named. After thirteen years residence at Marion, the deceased moved to Cairo, where he was publisher of the Argus, and filled other positions of trust in the same line of business. Two years later he came to Mound City and assumed management of the Enterprise and here he has ever since resided, having been editor and publisher of this paper continuously up to December, 1903, since which time he has been engaged in other pursuits. He was a man of feeble physical statute but strong will power and personality, a ready and able writer, good printer, and a popular justice of the peace, which office he has filled for two years past.
During the residence here of the present editor and publisher of the Enterprise, Mr. Connell has been a frequent and sometimes daily visitor to the office. He used to say that water from this office hydrant tasted better to him than any other. He always had a pleasant greeting for all, and no one was more welcome here than was he. He was almost a human encyclopedia of Pulaski County, and could recall names, dates and locations in a moment's time, and knew nearly every newspaperman in southern Illinois. Many pleasant and interesting hours were spent with him talking over these matters, and when we heard last Friday that he was no more, notwithstanding his expected death, we felt that another friend had gone to that great and unknown hereafter, and at once realized his loss.
For him tears, pain and fears and all this life's poorly requited toils and empty honors are past. If there is a bright and beautiful home on high for people here below, he knows it now for a certainty. If he shall meet loved ones there he must be happy with his own.—Or shall we never meet again? But the same sun will continue to shine and the stars to twinkle over his grave as they do today; and people will be born and die again, forever.
(James F. Connell married Lizzie Broad on 1 May 1870, in Williamson Co., Ill. He married Mary Felts on 11 Oct 1884, in Williamson Co., Ill.—Darrel Dexter)
Five sons of the parents of the late J. F. Connell, of this city, were printers by trade. J. F. Connell has six sons living and every one of them learned the printer's trade, and all but one (Irving of this city) are now working at the business.
Friday, 24 Nov 1905:
Another Fatal Accident.
William F. Gill, an employee at the Metal Bound plant, was fatally injured while at work last Thursday forenoon, and died Friday night. He was engaged in running one of the machines, and in his efforts to shift a belt of the same, used a long and heavy stick, when a very short one would have been proper. The stick caught in the belt and was thrown in some manner with force striking him in the stomach. The injury was not considered dangerous at first. The factory closed down Saturday in respect to his memory, the workmen attending his funeral and escorting the remains to the I. C. train, to be taken to Marion for burial. He leaves a wife. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict in the case, exonerating the Metal Bound Company from any and all blame in the matter.
S. J. Burford, heard of the Rhodes-Burford Co., died Monday at his home in Louisville, Ky.
Died, in San Francisco, Cal., Nov. __, 1905, Muriel Rutherford, infant daughter of Claude E. and Ernice___nce, aged 3 ½ months.
Henry Oliver, colored, of St. Louis, aged 17 years, died here Friday of pneumonia and was buried at Mounds. His mother arrived in time to attend the funeral.
Thomas Buchanan, a colored man, died here Saturday from the effects of injuries received the day before by a falling sidewall of an old building. He was badly injured about the head and side and suffered intensely.
Friday, 1 Dec 1905:
Another Man Killed.
Otis Cauble, aged 26 years, assistant engineer for the Wisconsin Chair Factory in this city, was instantly killed last Friday morning about 7:30 o'clock. The engine upon which he was employed, is located on the ground or basement floor, under the main building, and from some cause got up too much speed on this occasion and was shaking up things at a terrible rate. Cauble ran to the throttle valve, which is near and in direct line with the large cast iron pulley wheel, as soon as he could, and began shutting off the power, when in an instant the wheel burst into numerous pieces, flying with terrific force. One of the large pieces struck the unfortunate man in the stomach in its passage, and landed in the other end of the building. Cauble was knocked about two feet, and killed instantly. Every big spoke of the immense iron wheel was broke off close to the hub. The conclusion is almost self evident that in his haste Cauble must have shut off the power too quickly causing the engine to stop, and with the rushing of the machinery held by the enormous belt, smashed the wheel like it had been so much wood. The young engineer leaves a wife and a son about two years of age. His parents reside near Olive Branch, Alexander County, and he is highly spoken of by all who knew him. The funeral and burial took place at Thebes, Monday of this week.
Miss Bessie Biggerstaff, residing two miles west of Villa Ridge, committed suicide last Monday by shooting herself in the heart. She was 14 years of age and was found dead in her bedroom with a revolver by her side. Her mother died a year or more ago, and she was living with her grandfather, Gus. Biggerstaff.

o'clock Thursday evening with such force as to blow the roof
off the fan shaft and otherwise damage the mine. Two shot
firers, James Lyden and William Watters, were
in the mine when the explosion occurred. A fire alarm was
turned in, which brought assistance. After setting the fan
at the airshaft to work, a rescuing party was organized and
lowered into the shaft. Lyden was found in the pump
unconscious, having been blown there by the force of the
explosion. He was brought to the surface and resuscitated.
Watters had not been found owing to the difficulties
encountered by the rescuing party on account of afterdamp in
the rooms. He is believed to be dead. Fifty miners had left
the mine but a few moments before the explosion occurred.

During the past century...a mutant form of math has deflected science's heart from the modes of calculation that had long served so faithfully. To find out more about this mutant, read more here.
This article could have been a rehash of a recent meeting I attended with the National Science Foundation on Uncertainty in Manufacturing and Machining. The attendees effectively arranged themselves into frequentists and Bayesians.
I found the comments after the article insightful for many reasons. One that I found especially interesting was the following:
"The example in box 4 illustrates yet another problem. It concludes with 'So if any single player's test is positive, the chances that he really is a user are 50 percent, since an equal number of users and nonusers test positive.' A single player is not a random variable. In the statistics class that I teach, I flip a coin onto the floor and ask my students 'What is the probability that I got heads?' They usually answer '50%.' So I look down at the coin. If it is heads, I answer back 'No, it is 100%.' Probabilities should be applied to experimental procedures, not individual outcomes." [name removed] Mar. 18, 2010 at 12:44pm
Am I reading this correctly? He tosses the coin, doesn't reveal the outcome, and asks the class to guess the likelihood of heads. Then he reveals the outcome. It seems odd to me that a person who teaches statistics doesn't understand that until the outcome of the coin is revealed, the state of knowledge about the outcome being heads is still just as uncertain as before the coin was tossed. It's not until we "know" something that probabilities are resolved into certainties. Isn't this almost equivalent to declaring how much oil is in the ground within a specific reserve? The actual volume was set by nature millions of years earlier. Essentially, it's an individual outcome that has occurred. But until we can account for every last molecule, the best we can say is that the volume falls within a range with assigned probabilities.

Straight from the heart: Palak Mucchal
Singer Palak Mucchal is high on her success of her latest song 'Chaahun Main Ya Naa' from Aashiqui 2.
This is her second hit after Lapata from Ek Tha Tiger. "I am thrilled with the response to the song," says the 21-year-old, who rose to fame for her charity that helps young heart patients. Amidst the cries of her two pet parrots, Manilal and Dollar, Palak talks to CS about life and music:
Palak vs the rest
The competition amongst singers in the music industry is intense. It is tough to get one good song. Today, we have different singers for different genres, and composers simply want the best. It is a tough situation as all the singers are very good. However, this also means that listeners get to hear the best.
Girl interrupted?
People have always asked me whether I have missed out on my childhood or not. I started singing since I was two-and-a-half years old, and have been doing shows from the age of eight. It's true that I missed out on school life and having fun but my mission was always more important for me. I will say that I am a regular 21-year old. Right now, I am doing my final year B.Com from a college in Indore. I study in whatever free time I get, and my studies are going well. In my free time, I like to do masti with my brother, Palaash and watch films with my family.
Salman's protégé
My parents and I shifted to Mumbai seven years ago. The first B-town celebrity I met was Salman Khan. He has always been very supportive. It was he who recommended my name to Sajid Wajid for a small portion in the song Meherbaniyaan from Veer. He also invited me for his TV show. In fact, it was he who suggested my name to Sohail Sen for the song Lapata. Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt sir were also very encouraging. I am a lucky girl.
For a cause
I feel that people have always given me that extra bit of support because of my cause. Earlier, the money I used to earn from a single show was enough to treat two-three kids, now I can afford treatment for seven-eight. Till date, there is no bigger high for me than when the doctor calls up and says, "Palak, tumhara bachha bach gaya". I have managed to help 556 patients so far, and 621 are on the waiting list. I have miles to go.
On my playlist
Lata Mangeshkar is my all-time favourite. I love Lag Jaa Gale and always sing along when it plays. I love Taylor Swift, Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam as well. In classical artists, I like Aamir Khan Saab.

Only with the option to self terminate
Yes only if i can stay a certain age nd never get older
Yes .... where do i sign up
I wouldn't want to be immortal... It would hurt when those close to me pass away and I live on.
no... i don't want to grow old and watch my love ones die

or see the morons populate the world
Definitely.

.

If I had the choice to either live a regular length life (around 85 years) or live for all eternity then I would choose immortality. I would probably regret it, but I would be able to accomplish so much more.

.

Then again there are so many variables. Would you just get older and weaker or stay young? Could you self terminate? Does it mean you cannot be destroyed or you live forever as long as you remain intact?
No way! I want to go to heaven.
Forever? Even in the best case, if somehow humans learn to live in peace with this planet, in just a couple of hundred million years, the Earth becomes uninhabitable. After that, things may become very boring.
F no life and people are too cruel. Plus I hate being alone. Forever is a really long time.
Hell no...why in the **** would i want to live this miserable piece of sh*t existence forever? It has done me good to make it this long without f*cken snapping and going completely off the deep end
No! I learn more when I know there is a deadline.
I would consider it but I think I'd let it pass forever is a long time
First - liked your question, sometimes I wonder how this kind of thing would be?!

We will live forever - the Universe is eternal.

If on this earth - probably what you exactly mean, yes, I would live forever after experiencing and learning thousand times - the hardest test was three years ago

and since then I am a different person -a better one.

Learning and growing through experiences, that's what life is all about.
No have you ever seen a truly happy vampire??

I wouldn't cos I couldn't outlive my daughter and one day the kids she may have,it would be odd..and very sad :(
I'd do it. As long as my health was good the whole time. Ageless would be perfect.
No because I don't want to see my friends, and family die while I still live
No, not interested
in a heartbeat
only if my cells reproduced perfectly so i would never seem to grow older.

Imagine the possibilities if you were immortal. you would be able to do everything you ever wanted. you would be able to guide humanity to near perfection and if it falls apart you would always be there to rebuild.
No! It would be terrible to see everyone you love get old and die in front of you.

Eight Saxons earn Empire 8 outdoor track and field all-conference honors
ALFRED, NY — The Empire 8 announced its outdoor track and field all-conference teams this week and eight members of the Alfred University men's and women's teams earned all-league honors.
Four individual members of the Alfred men's team received all-conference recognition, as did one men's relay team, while one member of the AU women's team was honored. All-conference awards were based on results from last weekend's Empire 8 Championships, held at Nazareth College. Event winners earned First Team honors, while runners-up garnered Second Team recognition.
For the Saxon men, senior Chris Lopez (Rochester, NY/Pittsford Sutherland) and freshman Joe Duermeyer (Corfu, NY/Pembroke) were named First Team all-stars. Lopez won the long jump (6.69 meters) and Duermeyer took first in the shot put (12.81 meters).
Sophomore Greg Pomarico (Liberty, PA/Liberty) and junior Jason Osborne (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) received Second Team recognition: Pomarico in the javelin (51.27 meters) and Osborne in the shot put (12.76 meters).
AU's 4X400 relay team of Lopez, senior Randy Brito (New York, NY/Cardinal Hayes), junior Eddie Potter (Lansing, NY/Lansing) and sophomore Nolan Rummel (Kings Park, NY/Kings Park) earned First Team honors with a winning time of 3:26.75.
AU sophomore Miasia Hillman (Buffalo, NY/Hutch Tech) was the lone Saxon woman to earn all-conference recognition. She took First Team honors in the 100-meter dash (12.74 seconds).
The AU men and women are in action next on Saturday, April 27, at the St. John Fisher College Invitational.

I've always said you guys were on the ball. Apparently, I was wrong.
It's the Florida state legislature, not you, getting on the early train in banning the hanging of fake bull testicles from trailer hitches. Some might even say they're well-hung from trailer hitches.
Come on people! This is one of the defining issues of our day! This is the true test(es) of leadership. You need to grow a pair. Then ban 'em!
I do, however, suggest that the Floridians are going about this all wrong. Apparently their legislation creates a $60 fine for those who persist in displaying the aforementioned bull gonads. However, as any guy knows, the most effective deterrent to displaying large testicles would instead be to require that those displaying them be forced to drive into a cold swimming pool. The offending parts would disappear immediately. Luckily, this solution has already been field-tested.

Shifting Focus is a tool to help family and friends of people with dementia manage difficult behaviours. There are two versions of shifting focus: a guide to understanding dementia behaviour.
The full version of shifting focus provides comprehensive information about understanding and responding to dementia behaviour, plus specific advice on how to visit someone with dementia in a long-term care facility and how to communicate with staff in a facility. This full version will be helpful to family members, friends, co-residents and staff in long-term care.
A compact booklet version of shifting focus describes specific behaviours and gives advice on helpful responses to those behaviours.
Both versions of shifting focus are available as pdf downloads on www.shiftingfocus.ca. You can also order print copies of the compact booklet for distribution to your clients and their families. In addition, there is a slide deck that can be downloaded for use by your staff when introducing the long guide and booklet to Residents' and Family Councils.

Oven Fresh is a Chennai-based start-up and front-running bakery, with 40 outlets in Chennai and Bangalore. They approached us when they decided to take their business to another level, by expanding to an online store. One of the challenges was to maintain the same retail experience as before in the e-store. Understanding their needs, we built the e-store using the Magneto platform optimized as per the requirements.
We designed and developed a custom responsive Magneto theme, optimizing and simplifying the checkout process and enabling social media login. In the buying process, the customer gets to choose the cake base, flavouring and photos to be printed if any. The Delivery section has several features such as time-based delivery for midnight, home delivery or self-pickup, and integrated payment gateway for payment options.
