India's largest digital payment solutions company, Paytm, in partnership with ICICI bank is launching a credit card called Paytm-ICICI Bank Postpaid. This provides a more seamless way to access interest-free short-term digital credit.
At present, the facility to access digital credit will be available to only select ICICI bank customers using the Paytm app. Later, it will be available to all non-ICICI bank customers too.
Once the credit limit is set for a customer by a bank, the bill will be generated on the first day of the subsequent month. The bill has to be paid by 15th of that month. The procedure works similar to the normal credit card except for the bill payment time.
For the bill payment, customers can use Paytm wallet or payments bank.

How Do Leaves Know When It's Time To Change Colors?Experts at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources predict a beautiful display of fall colors across most of Minnesota.
Good Questions: Cannons, Baby Footprints & SunflowersLarye from Minneapolis wants to know: Why don't they fire the cannon off at Gopher football games anymore? This is something they did for years after every Gopher touchdown. Rod Wallace, the man who fired the cannon, retired after this past season.
Good Question: Why Are So Many Leaves Left On The Trees?According to Ken Hollman of the Minn. Department of Natural Resources, the Twin Cities area is between 50-75% for peak falls colors. "I'd say we're a week or two behind," Hollman said. He says our later fall colors don't have much to do with the late spring, but rather the drought we've experienced across much of the state for the past two years. "Trees depend on water and nutrients in the ground that they take up their roots to build and create the chlorophyll and other chemicals that contain the colors," he said.
Good Question 'Reply All': Leaf Colors, Sirens & Tin FoilWe've all seen the beautiful leaves out there. But how exactly do they change colors? That's just one of the Good Questions you e-mailed us this week. Now back to leaves...

Yesterday I saw Philip Seymour Hoffman's Capote movie, a "tragic story of unfulfilled love", and I loved it. I see so few movies nowadays, as they are so noisy. This one was on purpose quite and slow. The music by Mychael Danna was just right.
Most critics felt the same. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 92% Fresh Reading.
If you saw the movie, you'll appreciate the following; Here's a beautiful, extended collection of photos related to "In Cold Blood" from Lawrence, KS Journal-World's 40th anniversary of the non-fiction novel .

Nice collection of links. I haven't seen the movie yet because there are no theaters around me showing it. (I could have travelled into Boston to see it however but since I work there I prefer to spend my weekends away from the city) It's pretty sad when a movie like Capote isn't even shown anymore in a lot of theaters.

F&F is a global brand with over 2,100 stores in 26 countries. Draw supports the F&F website for the Hungarian, Polish, Czech and Slovakian markets to engage, inspire and provide information for current and prospective F&F customers.
Due to the nature of the site, editorial content is crucial as the site needs to be engaging as well as informative. The user experience is vitally important but not every site visitor can be treated the same; some people might want to browse through product pages or articles for outfit inspiration, while others might be looking for quick answers and a simple store locator search. The site gradually reached a point where similar types of siloed content pages were located in different areas of the site without a logical and seamless user journey as people are engaging with the brand.
The challenge was to design content pages specifically for the online audience, encourage people to engage with the brand and organise the site without overlapping content, offering the best overall experience for the customer.

Faith Comment published in the Petersfield Post
22 July 2009: Sandra Coombes, Petersfield Christian Fellowship
Stay bold and don't give up
I read a story about two people who went on holiday. Let's say they went to Petersfield.
They often used to sit by the lake and have their lunch together. One day as they were eating their sandwiches a family and a black Labrador retriever appeared.
They had come to enjoy the Heath Pond too. Their dog found a stick and then made it very clear that he wanted it thrown into the pond so he could fetch it and have a swim at the same time.
The dog kept following the man and placing the stick at his feet. Then the dog would run back and forth between the man and the pond.
When that did not work, the dog gently placed his front paws on the man's legs. In desperation, the dog began to bark, and finally his master responded.
Boldness and persistence worked. The persistent friend finally gets what he needs.
Thinking about the the dog's persistence and boldness made me think: should I not be just as persistent and bold when praying for friends and family?
As the scripture tells us in Luke 11 v 9, 'knock and the door will be opened to you.'
Let us be bold and never give up. Keep praying.

Centralia Public Library received grant to upgrade collection
JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft announced Thursday the Centralia Public Library received a $2,000 Public Library Collection Development grant, which will be used to upgrade the library's collection.
The secretary of state's Public Library Collection Development grants are given to public libraries that are in high poverty areas and actively share resources with other libraries.
"Public libraries act as an important hub for communities, providing access to resources, technology and programs that help citizens learn and develop," Ashcroft said. "These services are especially necessary in areas of high poverty, which often have high barriers to education. Grants like these are intended to increase the resources libraries have to draw on, and lower those barriers."
The grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, and are used to purchase collection development materials that are non-subscription based to meet the educational and lifelong learning needs of the local community.
The Missouri State Library has approved a total of 109 grant applications in the 2017 fiscal year, totaling $799,089 in federal awards that the secretary's office has distributed to libraries throughout Missouri.

The latest paint jam in the Leake Street tunnel saw it taken over as a whole bunch of graffiti artists gathered to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research.
It isn't the first time the tunnel has been used in this way, the F**K you Cancer event in 2013 was one such occasion when the graffiti and street art communities came together to do what they do best. A year later they came together once again to pay tribute to popular artist Ben Naz who sadly lost his battle with the disease after fighting a long battle.
This time, the event organised via Facebook, was a human response to the discovery that a loved one had breast cancer. Speaking on the event page organiser Charlie Pugh said "I want to do something, I'm not sure what? Painting is some thing I do and something I love. It gives me a voice, it's loud everyone can see it and it says listen to me."
His wife Alice had been diagnosed only three days before and the Battle Cancer event was a means of raising money. Something that it's still possible to do via the Just Giving page.
So for this post nothing else needs to be really said other than to enjoy the art. Nothing lasts for long in Leake Street but the point of holding a jam here is just to get people together and provide a safe and legal place for the public to come and see the artists in action. What better means of doing so than to create a whole bunch of huge murals in order to help battle cancer.
The Battle Cancer paint jam took place on Sunday 5 July 2015 and at the time of writing has raised over £1500 for Cancer Research. The Just Giving page can be found here and the original facebook event page can be found here.
Battle Cancer Paint Jam Gallery
A lot of the artists who created work on the day I wasn't too familiar with so if anyone knows who they are drop me a line and I'll tag them in.

how could anybody have been using it, it launched today .
So this is ebay w/ stock charts?
Just to hear their experience?I'm still waiting for some on NT to confirm a completed transaction.
10%How much are they charging to use their services? I've been over Ebay for some time now and Kixify isn't any better honestly.
It's the games ppl play on there man.i used eBay all the time
i don't see the issue NT has with it
No. New with box only. Eventually new with replacement box. In the long run, who knows.Can you sell non dead stock kicks on here ?
They handle the shipping AND they guarantee authenticity. Their FAQ even says buyers can't cancel or return orders. I like that.Man thats a lot smh That's why i don't fool with ebay and kixify want 8%
I mean I get it, you have to break the middle man off with something,
but it becomes a hassle when you're basically giving up 20% + whatever shipping is.

The hypocrisy of those who criticize aid to the poor but support corporate welfare was laid bare in the debate during the recent vote on the federal farm bill.
The hypocrisy of those who criticize aid to the poor but support corporate welfare was laid bare in the debate during the recent vote on the federal farm bill.
The House of Representatives rejected the bill by a 195-234 vote. The measure would have cut $20 billion over 10 years from the food stamp program while allowing spending nearly $9 billion on crop insurance subsidies for mostly corporate agribusinesses over that period.
Rep. Ted Yoho, a Gainesville Republican and agriculture committee member who represents much of north Marion County, voted for the bill and said in a statement that he was "extremely disappointed" by the bill's failure. He described the proposed cuts to food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, as protecting the program's future by "cutting out egregious waste."
If Yoho and his colleagues are so concerned about waste, their attention should be focused on the enormous crop-insurance program. Fraud results in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses in the program and other subsidies to the agriculture industry, the New York Times reported — an agriculture industry, by the way, that has prospered during the Great Recession while others have struggled, even failed.
Food stamp fraud, by contrast, has declined in recent years and now accounts for 1 percent of the $75 billion annual program, according to federal data.
Rather than simply cutting waste, the House bill would have eliminated food assistance to nearly 2 million low-income people. The group mainly consists of working families with children and senior citizens, according to a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Households would risk losing benefits if they had a modest car or savings. About 210,000 children would have also lost free school meals that they receive based on their food stamp eligibility.
Yet the $940 billion measure would have expanded crop insurance and other subsidies for the agriculture industry, the biggest farming concerns in particular. One example cited by the Wall Street Journal: a program paying growers of the rice used in sushi rolls if market prices drop below 115 percent of the average price for all types of rice. That clause clearly was the result of some creative lobbying work.
An amendment to the bill, rejected before the measure's ultimate defeat, would have eliminated the food-stamp cuts and instead taken the money from farm subsidies. In a speech on the House floor explaining his opposition to the amendment, Yoho said that he and his wife were briefly on food stamps soon after they were married at age 19.
"I know the importance personally of having to go on food stamps," he said.
Yoho subsequently became a large-animal veterinarian before getting elected to his first term in Congress. He should think more about the help he received getting to that point when next considering the farm bill.

It has now become a custom for the newly married couple to say "thank you" to their guests with a small gift. These gifts are known as wedding favors.
Is there any reason to differentiate between a beach wedding favor and one from a traditional wedding held in a church?
Possibly. Let's look at what you need to take into account:
Wedding Favor Considerations.
Cost. Decide upon your budget and stick to it. There is likely to only be a certain number of dollars 'in the pot'. If you spend too much here, another part of your wedding day may have to lose out. This will apply regardless of your wedding theme and / or location.
Being a beach wedding, you may find that the number of guests attending it will be low. Yes, we know they all want to attend! But the cost and practicality of being there may well prevent this.
The majority of beach weddings will be attended by family and close friends only and this is good news for you. It means that you (hopefully) only have to spend less on favors but it could also mean that you can now spend more per person.
Remember – wedding favors do not have to be expensive. A less costly gift with some thought behind it will be appreciated more by your guests. And if it isn't…… well we would have to ask why you even want this person at your wedding?
Choices May Be Influenced By Your Wedding Theme
While not essential, it makes sense to keep the choice of your wedding favor in line the beach theme. Maybe a deckchair photo frame? A sail boat candle set? You should also think about practicality. For instance, we all know chocolate is often used as a wedding favor. But in a beach setting, it will all have melted before the ceremony even begins!
What does your gift represents?
What message do you want give out with your beach wedding favor? Any gift serves the purpose of saying "thank you" but what does it say about the ceremony as a whole? The deck chair photo frame for instance is definitely a 'fun gift'.
Could you personalize each favor in some way?
You may want to consider writing the guest's name or initials to personalize each gift. And what about any children attending? Will your four year old nephew be impressed with his champagne glass?
Children and especially their parents may appreciate something a little different. Here are some ideas that ties in with the beach or the sea. You can consider using shells, starfish, boats, beach balls, sun hats or deck chairs as an appropriate gift.

Chemistry Prof. Thomas Meade doubles as Gettysburg tour guide
February 22, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
When chemistry Prof. Thomas Meade is not conducting research or teaching at Northwestern, he spends his weekends recreating the lives of characters alive during the Civil War with tourists at Gettysburg National Military Park.
Meade joined Northwestern in 2003, focusing on bioinorganic coordination chemistry. In the classroom, he's always keeping students on the edge of anticipation, said Weinberg junior Eleni Varelas, who is part of the Meade Group. The group is a bioinorganic coordination chemistry laboratory led by Meade.
"His favorite phrase throughout class is, 'I want you to be on pins and needles,'" she said.
But Meade isn't just a scientist. He channels his passion for U.S. history, especially regarding Gettysburg, as an amateur tour guide. He started working during the summers he spent with his uncle, who lived in Washington, and said he got hooked on the history of Gettysburg, almost to the point of obsession. Looking back, he said it was almost natural for him to cultivate an interest in American history, as his great-great-great uncle Col. Patrick O'Rorke was killed on Little Round Top, the location of a defensive line during the Battle of Gettysburg.
The three-day Gettysburg tours begin on Fridays. For the rest of the weekend, Meade assigns tourists in his tour a specific soldier who fought in the Civil War battle and leads an interactive narrative of Gettysburg's history. By Sunday, all the characters have died over the course of the tour. Meade said the interactive format of the tours helps bring the history to life.
Chemistry Prof. Thomas O'Halloran said Meade's most valuable traits are his unexpected sense of humor, often surprising others with witty quips and random acts.
O'Halloran, who has been to Gettysburg with Meade twice, said Meade continues to inject elements of surprise into his narrative of Gettysburg's history, just like he does when teaching science at Northwestern.
"There are childlike characteristics that we tend to lose as we mature in our field," he said. "Tom has kept those and that keeps his teaching and creative approaches very much alive and adapting to the new problems that we face."
Meade is also an inventor with more than 80 patents and is the founder of three different biotech companies — Clinical Micro Sensors, PreDx and Ohmx. One of his inventions is a handheld electronic bio sensor for DNA and protein detection, which can detect cystic fibrosis instantly with one finger print.
Even when he was younger, Meade said he was interested in science, especially amateur astronomy. He didn't question if he should go into science — he only questioned which discipline to pursue, he said.
"Why do I love science? It's is an investigation of the physical world," Meade said. "Why I do what I do is for discovery. That's what jazzes me, excites me. It's the experience of discovery."

Doctors of Chiropractic go through a rigorous process to earn their license to practice. The are educated to deal with restoration of your nervous system without the use of drugs or surgery. Using only natural methods, a chiropractor will assess the condition of your spine and the integrity of your nervous system. If there are interferences to the nervous system, a Doctor of Chiropractic will remove it by using only natural and the most appropriate technique designed specifically for every patient. These techniques are usually referred to as spinal adjustments or spinal manipulation.
A Spinal adjustment is when a chiropractor uses a specific instrument, hands, or a table to work with Subluxation (misalignment of the vertebrae). An adjustment restores the normal function of your muscular and nervous system. A specific force is applied to a distorted body part to restore it to its normal function and health.
There are mainly 3 causes to why we can pain in our body.
- Physical cause: Trauma, poor posture, inflexibility, fixated joints, poor motion techniques
- Chemical cause: Drugs, alcohol, improper foods and many more
- Emotional cause: Depression, anger, fear, disappointment
A Subluxation refers to a slight misalignment of the vertebrae. A subluxation may cause various many health problems depending on the area of the subluxation (upper, middle, lower vertebrae)
You may or may not feel pain when you have a Subluxation. You may feel okay but may still have a subluxation. You may not feel the effects if you have diabetes or high blood pressure until it becomes symptomatic and painful. Similarly to Subluxation, the process is similar.
Sometimes subluxations can go away on its own. However, considering the stressful lifestyle most of us are in now, we tend to accumulate too much subluxations which our body is unable to deal with. The best natural remedy would be to go through Chiropractic treatments. It avoids surgery and will be less costly.
A New Zealand government study have shown that the treatment by a Doctor of Chiropractic is safer and more effective than drugs and surgery. Chiropractic Adjustments are a hundred times safer than over the counter drugs/medications for the same types of pain.
Please do not do so. Chiropractors undertake up to 8 years of education to attain their qualification. They are also trained to be able to work individually with every patient. Everyone is unique, similarly each nervous system and body is unique. Doctor of Chiropractic takes years to develop a technique of adjustment for every individual.
Usually the amount of adjustments for pain relief is short. Majority of the patients do report relief within five to ten visits. There are some who choose corrective and prolonged care to restore full function of the body after the pain relief has taken place. Others should undergo a prolonged course of treatments if the condition is more serious and has become chronic. There are various factors that should be incorporated such as their state of health, age and the severity of the illness.
To start off, it is very important and encouraged to try and avoid back surgery. Resort to Chiropractic first. During a surgery, tissues are cut, bones modified and foreign materials are introduced into the body. This leads to a harder and longer recovery time.
However, if you already have gone through surgery, do consult a Chiropractor for a thorough evaluation. This will determine if you can be helped.
Chiropractic adjustments should not be painful. As all our doctors are highly trained professionals, you need not worry about this. As a matter of fact, many find it pleasurable after a session of Chiropractic.
All our Doctors are highly trained professionals. Therapy done by our highly trained Doctors of Chiropractic should not be painful. In fact, many patients report pleasurable sensation after the treatment.
Fear not! It is not the sound of your bones rubbing against each other or the doctors breaking your bones. The popping sound is caused by the release of liquid & gas mixture in your joints – similarly like when you pop a bottle of champagne. It is healthy and safe to hear the pops. This type of therapy is scientifically proven and highly beneficial.

The Junos Pulse package is pushed to the client PC and installed on it. The LAN connection is dropped for a few seconds and the connection is re-established, after the package is installed. The customer would like to know why the LAN connection is being dropped when the Junos Pulse package is installed on the PC. The Junos Pulse client component is Minimal Components.
Junos Pulse installs a system driver on the client PC, which disrupts the network connectivity. When installing the Junos Pulse driver, Windows needs to tear down and bring up all of the network adapters to create the correct bindings in the network driver stack.

Of course, they didn't know the peep show booth was an element in the challenge, but somehow, more than half of them had the foresight to prepare a striptease as a performance. "Frenchy" Angelique is clearly the breakout star of the show; making Bret a "diet chocolate" dessert — mindful of his diabeedus — and then smearing pudding on her nipples and then licking it off, it was a little surprising that she didn't win the date with Bret. But as long as she stays on for a bit longer, we're still happy. Clip above. Oh, and in case you care, here's evidence of Angelique's porn career. NSFW, yo.

Professor Bumblebrain's Absolutely Bonkers Champions – pack of 10
By Andy Robb
Pack of 10 16-page booklets, 148x210mm
Teach young children how following Jesus is like being an athlete
Professor Bumblebrain is back, this time with a series of four full-colour comics, each on a biblical theme or topical issue.
In this comic, the Professor, with his trusty cat, Einstein, shares some fascinating facts about the Olympic Games.
The Professor looks back at the first Olympics and some of the weird and wonderful events and memorable moments of the games over the years.
The Bible doesn't say anything about the Olympics, but it does compare following God with the training an athlete goes through to win in their chosen event.
The Professor reveals that living well means spending time finding out how God wants us to live, fixing our eyes on that goal and running the race of life in order to win the prize -- eternal life with Jesus.
Created for 7 to 11-year-olds.
Andy Robb
is an established children's illustrator and writer with over thirty books to his name. He is passionate about producing books that help children understand who God is and how to live life God's way.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China will raise prices for higher quality fuels starting from year-end, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said on Monday, a move aimed at encouraging oil firms to boost production of cleaner fuels to tackle air pollution.
Beijing has urged domestic refiners led by Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) to speed up with the upgrade of their plants to produce cleaner fuels. But refiners have said costly upgrades would force them into heavy losses due to the lack of subsidies and state control of fuel prices.
In a bid to tackle the problem, prices for automotive diesel and gasoline that meet the national IV fuel standards will be raised by 290 yuan ($47.38) and 370 yuan per tonne respectively, the NDRC said in a statement. (here)
The price hike for automotive diesel will come into effect at the end of 2013, with higher prices for diesel to come in late 2014.
The pricing adjustment will help Sinopec, which has already seen its second-quarter net profit jump after Beijing introduced measures to let domestic fuel prices follow the international market more closely.
The national IV fuel standards for automotive diesel are similar to Europe's IV quality with a sulphur content of 50 parts per million (ppm).
Prices for diesel that meet the National V standards will be raised by 170 yuan, while gasoline will be increased by 160 yuan a tonne, the commission said in a statement.
The new national V standards - similar to Euro V with a sulphur content no greater than 10 ppm - will become compulsory by the end of 2017.
Automotive diesel, used in trucks and buses, forms just over half of China's total diesel market of about 3.6 million barrels per day. Emissions from sub-quality diesel are a main cause of urban air pollution.
China first introduced automotive diesel specifications - III standards - in January 2010, and they became a national mandate from June 2011.
Beijing has been under heavy pressure to address the causes of air pollution after thick, hazardous smog engulfed much of the capital and the industrial north in January.
It unveiled comprehensive new measures to tackle air pollution earlier this month, with plans to slash coal consumption and close polluting mills, factories and smelters.

Iran's 'Toy'? Israeli Defense Chief Draws Inspiration From Eurovision Win in Warning to Assad
The defense minister's tweet follows Israel's win at the song contest with the feminist anthem 'Toy' by Netta Barzilai
Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran took an unexpected turn on Sunday when the Defense Minister issued a Eurovision-themed warning to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"Assad, learn from what is going on today. Tell [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei that you are not his toy. He has no business in Syria," Avigdor Lieberman tweeted, following Israel's win at the contest with the feminist anthem "Toy" by Netta Barzilai.
Israel has repeatedly signaled alarm over Iran's presence in Syria, saying Iran is attempting to establish a permanent military presence in Syria to attack Israel as the civil war there winds down.

Inside, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses for over 100 different companies to inject your customer service complaints into their corporate executive offices, and get it well on the way to success.
Reach Helio Executives
Cellphone provider Helio's business line is 310-445-7000. Press 4 to reach the company directory and then you can pull up all sorts of people, like the executives found on this page. Good for when Helio's underwhelming and outsourced customer service droids fail.
Three Weeks Later, Your Helio Phone Is Still Not Activated
Reader Katherine has been trying for the past 3 weeks to get her Helio phone activated and has had no luck. The CSRs say they're working on transferring her number from Verizon, but when she calls Verizon they say that no one from Helio has called. How mysterious.
Sprint Is The Suckiest Cellphone Company
According to Google, Sprint is the suckiest cellphone company. When you query "____ sucks," filling in the name of different providers, Sprint returns the most results. Here's how all the providers stacked up:
Helio's "Total Happiness Guarantee" Evidently Uses Alternative Understanding Of The English Language
Helio offers a "Total Happiness Guarantee" which says that if you don't like their phone or service for any reason you can return it within 30 days for your money back, no questions asked. However, their customer service staff is poorly trained and could try to tell you don't get sales tax refunded, blogs LifeClever. It's also going to take at least four months for the refund to process, he found, along with other annoying fun plot points.
More Helio Hell
If you cancel Helio because their customer service is run by jackholes, be sure to check you really are canceled. Stella writes:
…they neglected to cancel my account after I returned the equipment and canceled my service — and didn't send me any bills/communication, only to report me to a collection agency a few months later. It was a big and annoying ordeal, I already didn't like the company and lack of customer service which is why I originally canceled, but after this situation, to say I have lost respect for them is just not enough.
Then again, if their call centers are bollocks, then what's to say they'll give you the right answer when you call? Guess the only solution is to not sign up with those pack of Scientologists in the first place. — BEN POPKEN
Helio Baits Customer With 1-Year Contract, Switches Him To 2-Year
I wanted to sign up for the Ocean on May 13th, but I noticed that on the web site, the only option for contracts was a 24 month agreement. Given that Helio is a new company, I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to two years. I called Helio to find out if I could get a one-year agreement. The customer service rep that I spoke to was very accommodating and said I could have a one year deal. I mentioned a web promo code that would get me some other discounts, including the $30 activation fee waved, and $25 off the first four months of service, and she said that I could have all that, as well as a nice discount on the phone itself. I signed up then and there.
Helio Call Centers Still Staffed By Nincompoops
Not only does virtual cellphone carrier Helio work by piggybacking off Sprint's network, it seems to have leased their call centers' famous dedication to customer service as well.
Helio Call Centers Staffed By Retards
Helio is an exciting new cellphone company! We heard about them some months ago when they just got started and were launching 2-page spreads in major magazines and taking out ads on prominent websites, except then they decided to only pay for the magazine ads and told the websites to go screw themselves. This general air of assclowns spinning asshats on sticks at the asscircus trickles down all the way to their call centers, which, based on reader Dave's complaint, has their head totally up their ass. Which must hurt because it's also got a spinning asshat on it (on a stick, no less) but we digress.

- William W. Lanier: One Man or Two?
More to the point—was the William W. Lanier who died on 7 Nov 1931 in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama the son of William Washington Lanier and Charlotte T. Jackson? A number of people think so based on the online trees that give William and Charlotte's son that death date along with the wives and children of the man who died in Birmingham.
Maybe they are the same person. This is the first in what will be a series of posts as I try to answer this question.
William and Charlotte's Son
William and Charlotte had a son named William W. Maybe his middle name was Washington, like his father (you'll find him with that middle name in those same online trees), but I haven't seen one record to back that up. I've actually only seen two records that I am sure are for their son.
William W. was listed with his parents in the 1860 U. S Federal Census as a 16-year-old farmhand, born in Alabama and living in Rock Mills, Randolph County, Alabama.1 The family has not been located in the 1850 Census.
W. W. Lanier was also listed as a child of William and Charlotte born on 16 September 1844 in a Bible owned by their grandson, William Larkin Lanier. Death dates for some of William and Charlotte's children are included in that Bible but not for William W.2
Birmingham William W. Lanier
According to his death certificate, William W. was born 16 September 1843 in Georgia and his parents were Geo. Lanier (born in England) and Martha Malone (born in Georgia). This information was provided by his daughter Mrs. Price Foster of Charleston, South Carolina 3
George Lanier and Martha Malone as the parents on the death certificate seem to answer the question with a resounding "NO. This guy was not William and Charlotte's son." But the birth date is interesting—same month and day, the year only off by one.
Can we be sure the daughter knew who her grandparents were?
If Birmingham William was William and Charlotte's son, believing her grandfather was born in England, in addition to being named George, would be a big mistake for his daughter to make. The elder William was 5th generation U.S. born. That's a pretty big difference to the grandfather the she seemed to think she had.
And Martha Malone as the mother's name is also interesting. Certainly that isn't close to Charlotte Jackson, but Charlotte's mother was Lavinia Malone. Coincidence? Somehow a scrambled version of family information?
Finding George and Martha Lanier in census records should shed some light on this. To be continued.
William and Charlotte were my 2nd great-grandparents through their son Joseph Smith Lanier.

William Larkin was the son of James Jackson Lanier, oldest son of William Washington Lanier and Charlotte Jackson. Handwriting indicates that most of the information was recorded at the same time by the same person. The identity of that person is undetermined.) ↩

There was something truly amazing that I was able to be a part of yesterday. The Orlando Magic Youth Fund and McCormick Foundation have created a new scholarship for Valencia College students.
Three deserving high school seniors were selected to begin their educational journey at Valencia beginning the 2012-13 academic year. Each student received a two year scholarship in the amount of $6,000.
As we surprised each student in their classrooms, hallways and at lunch each moment was a great experience. To see the joy and excitement on their faces, is a memory that I will take with me for year's to come. What a fabulous way to start the week!

Hips and Knees
my shiba has a luxating patella and hip dysplasia
May 2010
Posts: 10
Hi everyone,
my poor shiba paid a visit to the Vet and he limped out with a double whammy-- a luxating patella AND mild hip dysplasia. He'll turn 1 next month.
The Vet gave him a anti-inflammatory for his popped knee and suggested surgery for his hip dysplasia. The HD is NOT severe and is in the early stages.
My husband and I decided to tackle this one ailment at a time. First off-- take care of his HD.
My questions are: How soon should I take care of this? I know surgery is very expensive so we have to save up for this but we don't want to put it off too long. My Vet quoted us $8,000 for the surgery. Does that sound right?
What is the success rate for surgery??? If your shiba has had HD surgery and is fully recovered I'd love to hear about your experience. I just want to know what to expect during recovery, post-op etc.
Does anyone know of a reputable surgeon in the Los Angeles area?
As for his luxating patella, it is not considered severe at this point. Should I put off surgery for this or is this something that can worsen over time?
I am such a stress-case right now. I have been online for HOURS now researching this and I've come across varying advice... I've gotten such great advice here before and thought I might get some much needed advice from experienced shiba owners. Thank you in advance!

Personally I think a dog with mild HD and grade I luxating patella's, I would get a second opinion before surgery. A Shiba sized dog could live out his life with no ill effects from the above stated condition, especially if he is kept fit and exercised regularly.
Again just my opinion.
Get a second and third Veterinarian's opinion.

The general practitioner may not know fully what will be appropriate for your dog in terms of surgery. Hips and knees and most orthopedic issues are very specialized. Each case is different so I would seek a second opinion. The Otho vet will do a pre eval. and explain options etc. Here are links to finding a decent vet that can define the exact situation and specific steps that might help. Not every case will need surgery or surgery right away. Breath and take it one step at a time. : )

I'm so sorry -it is very stressful to take in all of that information at once. While Evie doesn't have HD (to my knowledge), she was diagnosed with a mild luxating patella. I panicked and started stressing about surgery, etc. because she was limping every day for 2 weeks.
She's doing much better now and I realized that she may be able to go her entire life with no surgery on either of her knees. I'm giving her daily glucosamine and I make her take it easy for a few days if she starts limping. So I certainly wouldn't consider surgery at this time for Evie and I think that's something you shouldn't worry about at this time. As I learned, some dogs with a LP will eventually get worse over time and will need surgery but others will be able to maintain for their lifetime.
I don't know much about HD. I definitely agree and think you should get a couple more opinions before making decisions regarding surgery. The right vet won't push surgery unless it's truly the best thing or necessary and they will talk you through it all. I think if you get a couple more opinions, you will feel more comfortable in the decision process.

Thank you all so much for the advice. I have scheduled two consultations with different orthopedic surgeons. I will update on Akira's progress as soon as I figure out which path is the best for him

I have an eight year old rottweiler who was diagnosed with HD. It was on the boarder line of severe and she was only a little older then seven months. The vet at first recommended surgery which was at the time was 3k per hip (for a total hip replacement). She was also a little overweight since she still had her puppy fat (it took her about 2 years to stop growing). Being that she was too young for any of the options we started exorcising her. At first we kept some Bayer aspirin on hand for when she was really not feeling well. We put her on a low calorie diet as well. Within a few weeks she lost the weight, gained some lean muscle tone and stopped whimpering and limping. She is going on eight now, and she has learned to cope with it so well surgery is not necessary (and because she receives two-three forty minute walks a day she can eat whatever she wants and still have some muscle on her).
The only time it really affects her is when its cold and damp outside because of the arthritis it causes. To help reduce this we make sure she does not sleep on the floor but on something cushioned, we also have a heating pad around if she gets really bad. A non medicated way to reduce the pain from the HD is to gently massage the area around the hips and upper thigh. My dog loves this and will even demand it. Ive done it enough that I know how to move her leg to get it to pop to release the tension, but for the most part I just massage her leg and when she gets up she stretches and it pops on its own. Make sure you don't allow Akira to jump around a lot (or have her leaping fences) or use the stairs anymore, its just detrimental. I personally prefer not to put a dog through the surgery because of the risks involved. If you do decide to go through with it (which for a mild case I really don't see it as necessary, if you adapt for her condition you should be able to stop it from progressing too much), make sure you find a qualified specialist, because I've seen some pretty bad procedures done that lead to a dog getting a total hip replacement, and in one case an amputated leg. My family has been able to keep our 100 pound dog from needing it, so for a Shiba it should be something very manageable; especially since its a mild case.

My shiba Triton has stage 1 luxating patella in one of his back knees. Luckily my vet is really great and isn't into recommending procedures that may be unnecessary. He was having trouble about a year ago, and that's when I brought him to the vet. Because he has stage 1 only, no surgery at this time thank goodness. He takes 500 mg per day of Glucosamine/Chondroitin. After on the gluc, never had another problem. But we are very careful with him. No more runs, walks only and limited to 1 mile per day. He does run around in the fenced backyard though when he wants. We also lift him up to get on the furniture or the bed when we see that he wants to get up. So I would recommend checking on the LP for stage level and adjusting accordingly. Of course stages 2,3,4 usually require surgery.

Central Indiana home prices up more than 7 percent year-to-date
Central Indiana home prices up more than 7 percent year-to-date POSTED BY DANIEL WILLIAMS ON MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2014 Central Indiana home prices up more than 7 percent year-to-date Inventory tightens by 12 percent; eight counties show drop in available homes for sale INDIANAPOLIS – With home prices reaching $155,886 in February 2014, home sales prices are up 7.2 percent compared to February 2013. Eight of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first two months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Shelby and Hendricks counties led the way with 14.5 and 12.2 percent increases, respectively, in home sales prices, while Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Marion and Morgan counties also reported gains. Madison County experienced a slight decrease of 9 percent. In February 2014, pended home sales declined 22.8 percent with eight counties experiencing a decrease. In February, Boone County saw the largest decrease in pended home sales which fell 39.5 percent. Only Hancock County experienced an increase at 3.3 percent. "This prolonged weather has certainly affected the housing market, just as it has for other sectors," said Jim Litten, president of F.C. Tucker Company. "But spring is around the corner, and with the improving weather will come a revival in home sales." Despite the drop in pended sales, fewer homes are on the market compared to February 2013. Available homes for sale in the nine-county region dropped 12 percent in February 2014 with 9,229 homes on the market, 1,260 fewer than in February 2013. Eight Central Indiana counties experienced varying inventory declines with Hendricks County experiencing the greatest decrease in inventory at 24.7 percent, a decline of 237 homes. In Johnson County, inventory rose 3.8 percent to 787 from 758 in February 2013. Of the pended home sales in the region last month, one was priced $2,000,000 or higher; four were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 53 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 140 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 234 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 759 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and 593 were priced at $99,999 or less.

The Volkswagen Group company has been in a consolidation mode in the recent past and did not roll out any new product last year. "2014 and 15 were years of consolidation for us; we streamlined our operations and improved processes," Rao said. He said the company's core team has remained the same over the last 30 months and it has a collective team approach in solving critical issues such as product availability and servicing. Rao said operationally and financially 2015 was the best in seven years for Skoda India. "It gives us confidence to reinforce our value luxury positioning with new product interventions going forward." Skoda's product offensive will start with launch of the new Superb in the current fiscal.
An entry-level car positioned below midsize sedan Rapid is, however, a couple of years away. "We are unveiling a new corporate identity for our brand. The new Skoda imagery is modern and in sync with aspirations of a younger upmarket clientele.
"There is an opportunity to bring in a small premium hatchback but we have to find a sweet spot between European technology and Indian consumer needs," Rao said. "We are slow in the mass segment but it is a deliberate decision, it will ensure better quality. We want Skoda to be an aspirational brand for consumers," he said.
The new Fabia hatchback launched globally in 2014 may only make its way here sometime in 2018. "The Fabia was a great product but discounting destroyed the brand. The market for premium hatchbacks is evolving and we have much more confidence in the segment now. We will enter it at a later time," Rao said. Skoda launched the Fabia in India in 2008. The company sold around 45,000 units of the car before discontinuing it in 2013 following significant drop in its sales in 2012-13 at 3,343, down 80 per cent compared to the previous year's sale of 14,936 Fabia cars. Skoda India, which managed to grow its volumes by around 4 per cent in 2015 when it sold 15,457 units of Rapid, Octavia, Superb and Yeti, is looking to grow in double digits this year.
Rao, however, said the company would not add to its network of 66 sales and 74 service outlets. Expansion would take place only onwards of 2018. Emphasis would be on strengthening the brand positioning through digital marketing.


text: The UK Guardian has got a very useful sortable table of the latest military expenditure by country. Military spending: how much does the military cost each country, listed | News | guardian.co.uk The source data is from SIPRI - Stokholm International Peace Research Institute, so you may not agree with their methodology, but makes for some interesting reading. Some highlights are: The world's countries spent $1.7tn on their militaries last year the US is still number one, but with China and Russia catching up fast The US remains by far the biggest military spender, with a defence budget of $711bn last year, followed by China, which spent an estimated $143bn on its armed forces in 2011. China has increased its military spending by 170% in real terms since 2002, Russia spent nearly $72bn on arms last year, overtaking Britain ($62.7bn) and France ($62.5bn). Russia is planning further increases, with draft budgets showing a 53% rise in real terms up to 2014 India has increased military spending by 66% since 2002. Currently at $48.8bn (??) Vietnam has increased military spending by 82% since 2003 (good for them)

We packed up and hesitantly started down the road toward Puerto Vallarta first thing in the morning. We had such a good time in Sayulita, that it was difficult to leave, but the road was calling. My check engine light had been giving me some problems since the trip into the jungle the day before. Fortunately, I had brought my diagnostic scanner on the trip. The codes were indicating a misfire. I didn't really notice anything too detrimental, so I just erased the code and hoped for the best.
We drove through Puerto Vallarta and were a little underwhelmed. The entrance to the town was inviting enough, but the traffic, businesses and tourist littered the small ocean front town. There were some interesting statues, monuments and views, however nothing drew us in to stick around. We stopped at the local Pemex gas station to fuel up and then headed out of town.
We found ourselves quickly driving down Hwy 200, a two lane narrow road with overgrowth extending in to the driving lanes. Traffic was very light and we decided to put some miles under our belts. Angela had decided to stay home until her next doctors appointment, which meant we would pick her up later down the road. For now, Bernard and I were loners travelling the roads unknown. The light on the dash popped on again. This time, I noticed some "fluttering" mis fires. Fortunately it wasn't affecting the power, however, the fuel mileage was another story. Im pretty certain I could see the guage as it raced toward "E". I was running premium fuel per manufacturer requirements, and even though Mexico has subsidized prices, it was still expensive. Darkness was rapidly approaching and we were still not close enough to Barre de Navidad, the next town we planned to stop at. Each "town" we approached was another missed opportunity for a place to stay. There was hardly a neighborhood convenience store let alone a hotel or camp ground. Darkness set in quickly as we tried one more small town. We stopped at a small roadside restaurant and ordered tacos. We inquired about accommodations. There were none. We decided to ask one of the restaurants if we might park next to them and spend the night, but this was a very small town and nobody spoke English.
After wandering around the few places that were open we headed to a side street. One lone house seemed to be lit up like a football field. As we approached we could see that it doubled for a small video game arcade. The owner peeked out his window as we approached and he met us n the front yard. He spoke some English and agreed to let us stay under the lights on the parking pad and plug an extension cord in. He wanted to make sure we would be gone first thing in the morning which was not going to be a problem. We gave him 20 pesos and set in for the night.
The next morning, sore from an uncomfortable night sleeping in the vehicles, we were off. The town we were headed to was about an hour and a half away so it was an easy trip. The night before it had rained heavily, however the sun was brightly shining, promising a new start. We were hoping to get into town, find some internet and then a shower! As we rolled into the quaint town, it was hard not to notice the ocean, the blue skies, the people walking around, and kids running in the park. Mexico just seems to do more outside, in spite of the heat hovering in the mid nineties. Straight ahead was the centro part of town.
We parked on the street and checked out the surroundings. It was reminiscent of a small town you might find in the States. Storefronts lined the sidewalks with signs marketing their products. There was a post office, a police station, a smoothie bar, and a small store offering beach items. The large sign on the front of the police substation said "Tourista Policia" or tourist police. They actually dedicated an entire force to the tourists here! We walked in the door a slender built officer with his feet propped up on the desk greeted us in English, "Buenas Dias, how can I help you?" We asked for a restaurant with wifi offering breakfast. Leaving our trucks in front of the police station, we followed the directions on foot to the next street. We walked into the open air restaurant and found a table under the ceiling fan, as the heat was picking up already. We were greeted by the waiter, ordered breakfast and set right into accessing the internet.
A guy walked up and said, "Are those your trucks on the next street over?". Was it that obvious that we were the outsiders? Did something happen to them? "Yes, we are we are travelling around Mexico and Central America in them", I said. The guy pulled up a chair and began talking to us, enjoying our accounts of the trip so far. Bernard showed him the newspaper article and pictures online. We learned that he was an American and had moved to Barre de Navidad 20 years ago. We enjoyed chatting for a while, and then he asked, "What are your plans today?" When we said we didn't have any specific ones, he offered to ride along and act as a tour guide. We hadn't even been in town 30 minutes and already we were onto or next big adventure. It is truly amazing the generosity of the people we have encountered. We found out the mans name was Tom. He was an expat, an American that has lived here 20 years! He lives in a one bedroom apartment above the restaurant and paid $300/month including his electric, water, and cable! He said he couldn't afford to NOT live in Mexico. I see why! We loaded up and headed out for another fun filled day of pure unadulterated adventure!

Untrain Your Ear – Tara Transitory
What remains of music when one looks beyond its usual contexts of geography or identity? In their new series Untraining the Ear, co-presented by Norient, the Berlin based gallery, Savvy Contemporary, invited the musician Tara Transitory to demand the listener let go of the obligation to put every sound in a context.
Reigning the Technique
Context has become the key in music reception, whether in science or in everyday consumption. On the most basic level, music is separated as intentional from (random) sound, and from there on the diversion goes on: Music on the radio will always be and expected to be «radio friendly», while in a club, we will be sure to hear club music, just as so-called classical music has its place in subsidised concert halls. Exchange between these contexts only emphasizes the importance of context for our understanding and judging of music in terms of function, distinction and market value. At the same time, artists from the periphery of the market, often find themselves caged in unwanted contexts when entering the international touring circuit. If it doesn't sound identifiably «ethnic» enough for the Western or Euro-US-American ear, artists and DJs have a more difficult time to get recognition than bands catering to the world music market. For any artist setting out to challenge hierarchical postcolonial boundaries, context has become a burden, and ultimately, something worth questioning.
The first guest of the «listening sessions» was Tara Transitory aka One Man Nation. Her work includes sound, as well as video and spatial concepts and experiments in gender, noise and ritual, as well as criticism of capitalist culture. For her, it's a challenge to put things into context such as her own Western education as a reoccurring factor in her involvement in queer subculture in South East Asia. When booked in commercial events as club nights or electronic music festivals, the technical framework of the production put severe limits on her performance. At the Savvy gallery, she said, she was instead «allowed free reign over the space and the technical means».
Sound Shocks
The main room of the basement was occupied by a multi screen video installation. The depicted multiple frames show the artist topless, without makeup or dress. After everyone had gathered, Tara Transitory began with hissing and droning layers as well as shuffling feet and camera shutters. The soundscape was building up slowly. Transitory, in makeup, dress, bangs, and hip trainers, kept deadpan and focused. Then, suddenly breaking pose, with an unreadable look on her face, she left the center of attention and briefly disappeared to switch off the light. Moments later, the darkness and the now medium loud drone everyone had time to get comfortable with, disrupted with an infernal bang – a merger of a hard kick drum and a gunshot.
The sound physically pierced the room and hit heavy on the eardrums … and, when the shock was still fresh, again, repeatedly but not synched to the flashes of the stroboscopic light that now barely lit the crammed scene. As the loud shots started to lose their violent novelty and found themselves embedded as an element of structure within an otherwise still swelling, non-rhythmical soundscape, disruption turned into a groove. Still stunned, people started to move away from another, partly in order to let their own bodies move and resonate with the frequencies.
Everyone is Different
In the following conversation it turned out that people had very different subjective memories about the actual duration of the performance, ranging between estimations of 15 and 45 minutes. Everyone agreed that the «Bang» was the turning point. But it should be admitted that performer and curators found a striking solution to the oxymoronic task of creating a non-contextual context. The session dealt with basic principles of sound and performance.
Harsh light and transparency transformed to an almost mind-altering play of darkness and strobe vision, floating sound made way to structure and groove, while the audience response shifted between spectatorship and immersion, individual and collective body experience, thus covering the whole spectrum of the artist's own experiences between art galleries and techno temples. All that in the environment of a mere backstage tunnel, which was never intended to host a performance. Smart.
The Listening Session Series «Untraining the Ear» is presented by Savvy Contemporary, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, CTM Festival & Norient.

Working with Industry About the Cooperative Graduate School System
Medical science and medical care have been constantly improving in recent years. Much of this is due to wider development in the life sciences. Technical innovation in medical care and the development of new materials have also been invaluable. The structure of our Graduate School of Medicine well reflects this current pattern; as well as courses in basic and clinical medicine, we have encompassed facilities within Osaka University which have recorded particularly outstanding research findings in the life sciences, including the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, the Institute for Protein Research, the former Institute for Molecular and Cellular Biology (reformed as the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences in 2002), and the School of Health and Sports Sciences.
However, the rapid development we are seeing in medical science and medical care has also brought about the polarization of our discipline into basic research and clinical application fields. The specialization and subdivision that are also increasingly common are leading to a dearth of talent in certain specific areas of research.
Our Cooperative Graduate School System has been designed to combat this. The System works in collaboration with public and private research institutes alike to encourage the participation of preeminent researchers with the Graduate School, to introduce cutting-edge research systems, and to invite guest lecturers are invited from our cooperative research facilities; this helps to diversify and enrich the range of research being carried out at the Graduate School. At the very heart of the system is a clear goal: to make a contribution to the development of medical science and medical treatment.
There are other benefits, too. This sort of structure allows the Graduate School to become more adaptable to specialized and to interdisciplinary research. It enables us to integrate basic and clinical research on a much higher dimension. It brings together all the elements we need to start translating our findings back to wider society, making it better with high quality medical care.
For our doctoral students, this means that although they must, as a general rule, accumulate the number of credits required to graduate from courses within the Graduate School, for their dissertation they are free to work with an external research facility, providing it is affiliated to one of the Collaborative Graduate Schools. Students also have access to a deputy academic advisor.
