seven inches in thickness. Both are supposed to be natural productions. *
Forest Trees and Shrubs. The black fertile soil produces white and red oak, walnut, and the horse chestnut with yellow flowers. The pitch pine covers the low country. The moist sandy soil is favourable to the growth of the black jack. The marshes are bordered with cypress, and cedar of juniper; and the pitch-pines, with which the Alligator swamp is covered, grow so close to each other that the report of fire-arms is not heard at a very short distance. In some parts are maple, (Acer rubrum,) poplar, (Arbor tulipifera Virginiana,) white oak, intermixed with the Magno. lia glauca, with tall reeds and briars. † The level sandy tracts are covered with pine and black jack. In the back country, the misletoe abounds; the myrtle wax shrub is common; in the woods, and on the high lands, there is a variety of wild grape.
Plants.-Ginseng, sarsaparilla, the Virginia and Seneca snake-root, and other medicinal plants, are found here in abundance, The shrub called yellow root (Xanthorhiza tinctoria) affords a fine yellow dye, and is besides a palatable and strong bitter.
Animals. The animals are the same as those of South Carolina, and will be described under that head. The pigeons were formerly so numerous, says Lawson,

(p. 44,) " that you may find several Indian towns, of not above seventeen houses, that have more than 100 gallons of pigeons' oil, or fat; they using it with pulse or bread as we do butter. They kill them in the night with long poles."
Fishes. The river Roanoke abounds with rock-fish, some of which weighing from sixty to seventy pounds, have been sold at less than a dollar. Swarms of shad ascend the Yadkin and other rivers in the season of spring.
Population. The number of taxables (white males of 16 years, slaves, negroes, mulattoes, or Indians, male and female, of 12 years of age, and upwards) was, in 1676, 1400; in 1694, 787; in 1717, 2,000.

The increase of whites, during the last ten years, was 39,636, or 11 jo per cent. ; of blacks, 38,761, or 2977ths per cent. This is the fifth state in the Union, in re. spect of population.
Manners and Character. The western parts, between the Catawba and Yadkin rivers, are inhabited chiefly by emigrants from the north of Ireland, and the descendants of others from Pennsylvania. The inhabitants of the state in general are chiefly planters, who live on their plantations at the distance of from one to two or three miles from each other. Marriage is contracted at a very early age. It is stated by Dr Morse, that there are grandmothers who have not reached the age of twenty-seven. The North Carolinians have been accused of leading an idle and dissipated life, of being addicted to spirituous liquors, gambling, horse-racing, cock-fighting, boxing, and gouging. This character is probably much overcharged, and cannot be considered as applicable to the mass of the population at present. The progressive refinement of manners has raised the present race of Carolinians above many of the rude practices of their ancestors. The great cause of the early misfortunes of this state may be traced to the want of education, and the abuse of spirituous liquors. Of thirty-six persons presented to the grand jury in 1720, there were seven for drunkenness; eight for profane swearing; seven for breaking the Sabbath; four for adultery; five for stealing or mismarking hogs; three for breaking the peace; two for selling liquors without licence. The spirit of litigiousness was greatly lessened by a fine of thirty pounds of tobacco imposed on every lawsuit. It is highly honourable to the character of this people, that, although more ves. sels are wrecked near Cape Hatteras than in any other part of the American coast, no instance of plunder or
inhumanity is on record; on the contrary, every possible aid is always given in saving the crew and cargo. It ought also to be mentioned, that, during the revolutionary war, the enemy was never able to procure a · pilot on the coast of this state.
Diseases. In the eastern parts, near the sea coast, intermitting and bilious fever prevails in August, September, and October; pleurisies and peripneumonies in winter, though this season is otherwise healthy, Dr Williamson observes, " that this unhealthy character of the climate is only applicable to the eastern part of the state, where intermitting fevers are frequent in summer and autumn, occasioned by the exhalations of stagnant water or putrid vegetables; and fevers with inflammatory symptoms, and putrid tendency, some. times prevail in winter, after recent cultivation and clearing of the surface. A warm season, followed by drought, often produces an epidemical dysentery; but the western parts are healthy, as is proved by the great increase of population. According to the census of 1791, the number of inhabitants above sixteen years of age, exceeded the number under sixteen in all the northern and middle states, including Maryland; but in the southern states, the number above sixteen was less, and the difference was greater in North Carolina than in any other state, except Kentucky." This, Dr Williamson attributes to the combined effect of early marriage and a good climate. *
* The number of males below sixteen, was to that above sixteen ncarly as eleven to ten. Dr Williamson, in his History of this
Indians.—The thirteen tribes of Indians who in. habited this state, in 1700, amounted to about 40:10 persons; in 1790 there were but 60 remaining, who belonged to the Tuscarora tribe, and were then living in Bertie county.
History. This country originally formed a part of that extensive region, which by the French was named Florida, by the English Virginia, and was included in the patent granted in 1585 to Sir Walter Raleigh, who discovered Pamlico Sound, took possession of the island of Roanoke, and, according to the conditions of the grant, was to occupy, and enjoy for ever, " these remote and barbarous lands, not possessed by any Christian people." In 1667 the soil and seignory were granted to eight lords and gentlemen, at which period there were two settlements within their limits; the one on the waters of Albemarle, the other, which
State, has given a list of seven persons residing in or near Cumberland county, in 1798, the youngest of whom was 90 years of age; the eldest, 106. Also a list of seven persons lately dead, all between the age of 90 and 112 years. In 1794, William Taylor of Pitt county was 114 years of age; and William Hayward of Acakoke Island had seen 108 years, 77 of which he had lived on the banks. About one-half of the above persons were women, and all were born before any settlement was formed in the place of their residence. They were natives of Scotland, Ireland, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. (Anbury's Travels, I. p. 111.) In August 1817, within a circle of twelve miles diameter, in the county of Warren, there were living sisteen persons between 80 and 90 years of age; twelve from 70 to 80; twelve from 60 to 70; a child was lately born whose father was 84 and mother 57 years, at the time of birth.

Lucky Mobile launched their new brand into the Canadian mobile phone market in April 2018. This innovative kiosk focuses on simplicity of service and their core offering of pre-paid SIM cards to new Canadians, seniors, and students.
The big idea embedded within the design is the instantly recognizable SIM card shape as a visual signal, which inherently communicates Lucky Mobile's products. This approach was critical in helping differentiate them from their competitors, while also removing language barriers and increasing accessibility for those new to Canada.
The design naturally guides customers through a step-by-step journey of discovery, education, and selection. Simple and engaging infographics direct and inform customers, who can also interact with the phones themselves.
The kiosk was created with an open and social floorplan, removing barriers and allowing customers to interact more easily with employees.
The booth can be customized with ease through the use of interchangeable magnetized and window cling graphics. This allows marketing messages to inexpensively change position, languages, and styles to support the diversity that is a hallmark of Canadian culture.
"The entire experience represents a new opportunity to engage with people looking for simple connectivity in what is often a complicated and frustrating market."

Several problems often occur in equestrian activities. One of the most recurrent in this is a hot horse that beats the wall. This problem is recurring so, it means that there are practical solutions that will help to manage this situation. Everything is follow a few basic tips to make this happen perfectly.
A physical foremost
Be aware that a horse that beats the wall may be due to his physical condition. In this sense, it will be necessary to best identify possible causes of the nervousness of the horse. Generally, this is due to pain, which will follow a veterinarian a need to verify this fact. An equine dentist will also be of great help as a horse that has a toothache resist every time you pull on the reins. Same thing if he has a bad back since it will tend to go on ass shots. If ever the horse has no physical ailments, it would be good to check its liabilities. In this sense, it would be good to check its past to see if he has been abused in the past or malnourished or abandoned. This kind of detail will explain the anxiety of the horse. Of course, this kind of trauma will be resolved as working with the equine, but it will take some time before it is set on the long term.
Psychological solution
The welfare of the horse will help him change his mannerisms and habits such as he beat the wall. Above all, it will review the nature of the animal. You should know that in the wild, horses are prey which explains its nature restless and constantly alert. In all cases, simply be patient and work the confidence of the animal so that it is resolved. Professionals like those on the website http://equitack.com/us/ (visit for more)will attest. The living conditions of the horse must be subject to rigorous monitoring since a constantly locked be temperamental horse. Note that an equine animal is primarily an animal in need of a good space to live and develop.


text: My self portrait is personal to me because my students took part in making it. I passed out Post It notes and asked my students to reflect on me as a teacher and to write it down on the Post It. I then took the post it notes and used them as the background for my painting. That is why it is so wrinkled, Post Its are not a great substrate for acrylics. Once done, I did some editing in Photoshop. The photography lost some of the details in real life you can see the writing from my students in the background through the thinned acrylics. I then added in some of the post its that I had photographed too. My students had some great reflections of me. I received 150 Post Its and they were very interesting. They made me reflect on what the kids think of me as a person and a professional. Overall it was a very positive experience, I think all teachers should try it.

Compulsory Bodies
Reflections on Heterosexuality and Able-bodiedness
Alison Kafer
Compulsory Heterosexuality, Compulsory Able-Bodiedness
In preparing to write this essay, I stumbled across a 1992 special issue of Feminism and Psychology devoted to the topic of "heterosexuality." The editors had collected seventeen short reflections from heterosexual feminists addressing the question "How does your heterosexuality contribute to your feminist politics (and/or your feminist psychology)?" 1 As the editors acknowledge in their introduction, their project was inspired in part by Adrienne Rich's groundbreaking essay, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence." Indeed, the collection serves as an example of what Rich requested from feminist theorists and scholars; as she writes in the 1982 foreword to her article, her intent was "to encourage heterosexual feminists to examine heterosexuality as a political institution." 2
I must confess, however, that I was not thinking about the political institution of heterosexuality while reading this special issue. As a queer feminist with disabilities, engaged in the field of disability studies, I found myself thinking about the political institution of able-bodiedness. 3 Or, more to the point, I found myself imagining a special issue of Feminism and Psychology (or Feminist Studies, or Signs, or even the Journal of Women's History) asking nondisabled feminists to discuss how their able-bodied status contributes to their feminist politics. It is hard to imagine such a publication, and not simply because of the complexities of discerning who does and does not have a disability, or the difficulties of defining "disability," points to which I return below. It is hard to imagine because even with the dynamic growth of disability studies within U.S. universities and the persistence of the American disability rights movement, a political analysis of disability remains below the radar screen of many theorists and cultural critics. To quote and adapt Rich, it is still all too easy for "feminists to read, write, or teach from a perspective of unexamined [able-bodied]-centricity." 4 As a result, it is difficult to find feminist theorists outside of the field of disability studies who address disability in their work, let alone theorists willing or interested in identifying themselves as nondisabled and interrogating the effects of such an identification on their work. Who, therefore, could I find to write for my special issue interrogating able-bodiedness 5?
Of course, I should note that the editors of the heterosexuality issue [End Page 77] write in their introduction that they ran into similar problems in collecting submissions for their project. Their decision to send a call for papers to feminist scholars who had never identified themselves as lesbian, or written or publicly spoken as non-heterosexuals, met with several defensive and even hostile responses. Two of their recipients were, unbeknownst to the editors, out as lesbians; others were offended by the editors' presumption of heterosexuality, questioning how they could "know" them to be straight; and still others expressed discomfort with the label, explaining that the term was too narrow for their sexual identities, or was not an important enough aspect of their self-images to feel like a comfortable label. One respondent discussed the difference between choosing to call oneself something and being labeled by another as something, describing the latter as troubling and disempowering. Some of this discomfort arises in part, I think, because of the naturalization of heterosexuality. As Rich asserts in her essay, heterosexuality goes unquestioned because its alleged naturalness and normalcy place it beyond the realm of political analysis. Some of it, however, stems from the troubling aspects of identities in general, and identity politics in particular. Disability identities are no exception.
Similar to the label "woman," the term "disabled" cannot easily be accepted as a self-evident phrase referring to a discrete group of particular people with certain similar essential qualities. "We" is a particularly unstable term when speaking of disability; it is very difficult to decide definitively whom the term does and does not include. Should it encompass all kinds of impairments—cognitive, psychiatric, sensory...

By Rep. Tony Jurgens, 3/9/2018
Hello from St. Paul,
State lawmakers have been investigating the State of Minnesota's $850 million settlement with 3M regarding water contaminated with perflurocarbons (PFC) in the East Metro in order to learn more about the agreement.
Recently the Minnesota House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on the topic, and after listening to the MPCA's discussion with the committee, I have a few concerns.
The settlement outlines three priorities: clean drinking water, natural resources protection, and ensuring that any unused funds be placed in a state account where they can be used on other clean water projects across the state.
Issue 1: the agreement designates a fund where 3M settlement money will go and right now that fund doesn't exist. By session's end, the Legislature will need to create that fund and then delegate the authority as to how it will be spent, otherwise the MPCA may not have that authorization as required by our Constitution. By contrast, the MPCA seems to think the settlement has been written so that legislative involvement is not needed. We recently dropped the bill to create the account.
Issue 2: the MPCA views its "administrative fees" as a justified expense for 3M settlement dollars, and the agency plans on taking a chunk of this funding for its purposes. Considering the Legislature very generously funds the MPCA every biennium, I find this problematic.
Issue 3: the potential of MPCA using this money for anything other than East Metro clean water needs.
Let's be clear – PFC's in our groundwater will never go away. They will still be present after we're all long gone, and because of this our water will never be perfect. The filtering systems our communities need to install will need replacing in 20 to 30 years, and this funding has to be used – and available – for this purpose.
I'm sorry, but I have a problem with some bureaucrats 20 years from now deciding that this settlement money should be used elsewhere in Minnesota.
In the House, we are consulting our legal staff to determine how to ensure this money is used locally without violating the settlement agreement. At the very least, we have to create a 3M settlement account. We also need to determine if the MPCA can charge back administrative fees, and if so, ensure that the amount is very limited. I also think we should require MPCA to report to the Legislature annually on its spending.
I don't want the MPCA or someone else ever making the call that our water is acceptable so a new way can be found to spend this 3M settlement. This money exists because our water was polluted; that means every nickel of the 3M settlement must be spent to mitigate contaminated water in the affected areas of Demark Township, Cottage Grove, and other communities and I'm working hard to ensure our laws reflect that.
My legislation that would help construct the Health and Emergency Response Occupations (HERO) Center in Washington County is moving forward in the Minnesota House, as capital investment committee members debated the proposal this week.
The proposal would allocate $9.7 million in state bonding proceeds towards the construction of the HERO Center. The rest of the cost would be paid for by the cities of Cottage Grove and Woodbury. The HERO Center would also include a gun range which would be open to the public.
In 2015, $1.45 million was secured for the project's plan and design. With a site already selected, the lawmakers say construction could begin later this year if state bonding proceeds are secured.
Both Republican and Democratic committee members thought the presentation went well, and the fact that it's shovel-ready always improves its chances. After nearly eight years of working on this project, the knowledge and enthusiasm shown from our local testifiers was obvious and they did a great job.
The Hero Center proposal was held over for possible inclusion in the Minnesota House Capital Investment bill, which will be brought forward later this session.
March is Minnesota FoodShare Campaign month. Earlier I visited with Chris Koop and Claire Poncin from Hastings Family Service to learn how Hastings is participating in the city-wide "food fight."
I strongly encourage you to join me in helping restock our local food shelves. To learn more about Hastings Family Service click here, Friends in Need click here, or to read more on Minnesota FoodShare's March campaign, visit this website.
Speaking of food, I recently did an interview with Minnesota Public Radio about childhood hunger. To listen, click here.
Constituent Dr. Jeff Nelson stopped by my office a couple of days ago. Dr. Nelson is a tireless advocate for environmental and health issues.
South Washington County Schools Superintendent Keith Jacobus and other staff members and parents traveled to the Capitol this week to share their thoughts on school safety and education priorities with area lawmakers. I was pleased to meet with them.
Afton resident Ruth Ann Michnay also visited this week as part of CPA Day at the Capitol. Tax preparers are dealing with the new state and federal tax laws as well as waiting to see what we do for tax conformity this session.
Have a good weekend,
Representative Tony Jurgens

Laboratory Experiments in Thermal Analysis of Polymers for a Senior/Graduate Level Materials Science Course
In the lab accompanying a senior/graduate level Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polymers course, five new lab experiments in thermal analysis of polymers were developed to supplement the classroom lectures and the existing lab exercises. One of these experiments used a new, state-of-the-art rapid heating and cooling differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to investigate the effects of heating rate and isothermal annealing conditions on the thermal behavior of poly(ethylene terphthalate) (PET). This unique lab experiment was very successful with the students and, because of the high heating and cooling rates, the students were able to perform many experiments within the two hour lab. In this paper we discuss the implementation of these new thermal analysis labs in the course, with an emphasis in comparing the traditional DSC lab with the rapid heating/cooling DSC lab. Feedback from student surveys is also discussed.
Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polymers is a co-listed senior level undergraduate course and an elective graduate level course in Materials Science and Engineering at Iowa State University. It consists of two one hour lecture sessions and one two hour lab each week. In the spring of 2009, five new thermal analysis lab exercises were added to the existing labs. These five labs were all in the broader field of thermal analysis. This resulted in a course with 13 labs which were performed by the students over one semester. The topic for these lab experiments are listed below, with the new labs in bold italics.
Lab 1: Synthesis of polystyrene and Nylon 6,6 Lab 2: Gel Permeation Chromatography Lab 3: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Lab 4: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Lab 5: Rapid Heating/Cooling DSC (RHC DSC) Lab 6: Wide Angle X-Ray Diffraction Lab 7: Polarized Optical Microscopy Lab 8: Tensile Testing Lab 9: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) Lab 10: Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Lab 11: Reology Lab 12: Extrusion Lab 13: Injection Molding
There were a total of 24 students in the course, so the lab was broken up into 6 different sections (with four students in each section) which met to complete their lab experiments each week.
In this paper, we will begin by discussing how the lab section of this course was implemented. We then describe the five new thermal analysis labs that were developed. Two of these labs (Lab 4 and Lab 5) investigated the thermal transitions in a semi-crystalline polymer, poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) using differential scanning calorimetry. However, in Lab 5, the experiments were done using a unique high scanning rate differential scanning calorimeter. Such high scanning rate DSC measurements are just recently becoming available1,2, and offer unique

I was thisclose to making it to 101 days with flying colors, but alas….running and gut flaring.
I was thisclose to proving so much to myself….and to you.
I failed.
There are just 10 days left until I've reached 101 days of gut healing. My last update was happy, happy, joy, joy.
Let's back up.
After my surgery, I decided to quickly put myself on a 5-week half marathon program. It's not right, but it's doable. That's what I focused on. If you click on the image, you'll be taken to the whole article (which is fantastic, by the way).
This week was "week 3" for me. Clearly, I'm not very good at following directions, but I got it in my head that I needed to get a 12-miler in so that mentally I would be prepared again for 13.1.
I ran the 12 miles on Saturday morning at 6:30 am. On miles 8-9, I felt euphoric. I was running about a 7:40 minute/mile. I was in my zone. I felt high on life. There was a point when I thought I would cry I was so excited.
This lasted until around mile 10 when I became so hungry in an instant, and I had no idea what had hit me. This never happens. And then, slowly but surely, for the last 2 miles, I broke down like crazy….my body started to hurt, I continued to stay hungry and I was miserable in general.
I kept on going because like I said, I'm clearly not good at following directions and in my head, this was my "peak" run before the Nike Women's Half Marathon. I mean, if I couldn't do it then, perhaps I wouldn't be able to do it on October 20. Sigh. My mind is stubborn, stubborn, stubborn….
I ended my run at 12 miles with an average pace of 8:57 min./mile.
Running and Gut Flaring
Click HERE to save this post for later.
Good, okay, average….definitely not great, but by that point, I couldn't have cared less.
I stayed miserable for the rest of the day, even though I took extremely good care of myself: ice, ice and more ice, Epsom salt bath, foam rolling, stretching, eating and napping.
I was fairly confident that by the time I woke up on Sunday morning, I'd be good to go.
Yesterday, for the first time in over 90 days, my gut flared. I was in bloated pain all day. I felt famished, no matter what I ate (always a classic symptom for me – like my body is not absorbing anything). I felt sad, even though I had so much to feel thankful for and blessed by. Before falling asleep for an early afternoon nap, I thought I was going to throw up. My stomach made noises all day. I wore jeans to an afternoon seminar at church but wanted to explode with pressure and pain.
At 8 am yesterday morning all I could think was, "I didn't eat anything different. What gives?"
But by 3 pm (as I was near limping because it feels like I cracked a bone on top of my left foot), I had my ah-ha moment…..the run!
Intense workouts are in fact a stressor on the body.
The last time I ran 12 miles was in 2010.
And then, all I could think was, "What gives?"
I'm mad and I'm frustrated….mostly with myself, but with all of this. I want to eat. I want to run. I want to workout. I want to just be. I'm pushing and pushing and pushing to try to live normally when the truth is that my "normal" is not likely to ever be normal.
You can't understand if you don't live and breathe this daily, and it's for this very reason that I find it so difficult to express these thoughts and feelings to friends and family – there ain't nothin' motivational about it, but yet I still crave an outlet for someone to listen.
It's always my promise to you…..
In failure, there is always a lesson to be learned.
This running failure taught me that my long-distance running days must come to an end.
Days like yesterday (and likely the next couple of days while I "reset") should never be wasted, but that's kind of how I feel about them.
I don't have time for a 12-mile run to take me out of life and to set me back from what I have been so focused on….getting this gut healed.
Also read my post on running with Colitis and grab even more information on gut healing via The Gutsy Girl's Bible: an approach to healing the gut, 3.0.
You will heal. I will help.

Sometimes you just have to give a visual of what you are trying to say to make a point. LOL. Can you guess what I am doing?
After our first two morning classes we had the joy of going to chapel and hearing a group of students from Sweden. The blessings was they sang and spoke in English so we were able to participate better than with a translator.
Here is one of the Swedish students preaching with Klaus translating.
The weather here has been very similar to that of home in that it is cold and rainy and rather gloomy. It is a good excuse to stay indoors. We are hoping for a few sunny warm days before we leave for home which would be wonderful so we could go out and walk.
Please continue to pray for PW. His back continues to cramp up and give him trouble, but God's grace is sufficient.
Our moms are doing well and we want to thank those of you who are reaching out to them and keeping them busy until we get home. It does make the time go faster for them and gives us a sense of peace knowing they are enjoying themselves.
We both sensed an impartation of life to the students today. We are so thankful for all of your prayers on their behalf and ours. God is hearing and answering.
We are very excited to see what God will do tomorrow.
Much love,
PW and Sherry

Wes Hatfield
BA '64 Analytical Biology, University of California-Santa Barbara
PhD '68 Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Purdue University
(Nominated by: Nominated by Biological Sciences)
"In the '60s, Purdue faculty in physics, mathematics and biology pioneered the merger of these disciplines into fields we now know as molecular biology and biophysics. This was the beginning of the 'new biology,' and I was there, trained by pioneers such as H. E. Umbarger, Seymour Benzer, Sewell Champe, P.T. Gilham, Fred Neidhardt, William. J. Ray Jr., and many others."
Wes Hatfield pioneered several advancements in molecular biology while training and mentoring hundreds of medical, engineering and science students during his 35-year tenure at University of California-Irvine. Among his numerous companies and patents are Verdezyne, Inc., and Actavalon, Inc.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Hatfield and his team expanded their genetic engineering repertoire of tools. They developed a computer program for the dynamic modeling of metabolic pathways called kMech. He helped develop and obtained a patent for new methods for the computational design and synthesis of long DNA sequences with unique thermodynamic properties advantageous for genetic engineering. With these tools in hand, Hatfield co-founded CODA Genomics Inc., a synthetic biology company, now named Verdezyne, to engineer new metabolic pathways into microorganisms for the environmentally safe manufacture of chemicals currently obtained from petroleum. Today, Verdezyne, is located in Carlsbad, CA, with more than 100 employees, and it is ranked 13th in the world's hottest 30 bio-based chemical and materials companies. The company's impact looks to reduce green house gas emissions caused by petroleum based adipic acid production while implementing new bio-production methods from non-food sustainable sources.
Actavalon is a nascent drug development company founded by faculty from University of California-Irvine and University of California-San Diego and funded by private investors to develop small molecule, broad spectrum, anti-cancer drugs for the reactivation of mutant p53 proteins. If Actavalon is successful, it would have the most significant impact on the fight against cancer to date.
Since his 2006 retirement from academia, Hatfield has enjoyed helping younger faculty entrepreneurs found companies to transfer the results of their academic research to the public arena.
While plenty busy with is companies, Hatfield said he still fondly remembers "the lifelong friendships of my fellow graduate students, and the lifetime friendships and support of the faculty" during his years at Purdue.
- 2005 - Co-founded synthetic biology company Verdezyne, Inc.
- 1992 - Patented codon pair utilization

Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are cracking down on lenders (Loan Modifications & Short Sales)
Ventura County CA – Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (I'll call them Fannie & Freddie in this article) are finally starting to realize that lenders are not doing their job. Between the two of them, Fannie and Freddie own around 55% and 65% of the country's mortgages.
Discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and request a free consultation by clicking here.
Freddie and Freddie have other companies act as the lender on their behalf. Those companies collect all the payments, run the accounting, and forward the check to Fannie and Freddie.
In my opinion, these lenders are not doing their job. The owner of the loans lose lots of money because of these lenders incompetence. I have seen this first hand. Let me give you a few examples.
Homeowners that would like to keep their home get no help on a loan modification. Homeowners that would like to sell have to suffer thru a long, drawn out short sale process.
A clear cut example was a property that the bank refused the short sale offer on. The owner of the loan was Fannie Mae.
The property was listed as a short sale and a $119,000 offer was presented to the lender. The lender rejected the offer. The house was later foreclosed upon and resold for $96,000.
It appears Fannie Mae lost over $25,000. I am sure many loan modifications are turned down only to see the lender lose more money thru foreclosure.
Here is how this would work. Someone can't afford their payments. They ask for a reduced payment. The homeowner offers to pay the lender the amount that would pay a $200,000 mortgage. The lender turns it down.
The house is foreclosed upon and sells for $165,000. It looks like the owner of the loan lost $35,000. Make sense? This has been going on for 2 years, and probably even longer.
But finally, the "chickens are coming home to roost." According to a recent story in American Banker, it sounds like Fannie and Freddie discovered what was happening. [1]
The story says that Wells Fargo will stop granting extensions for certain short sales. But, why start doing that now? Why didn't Wells Fargo do that 12 months ago? Because Fannie and Freddie actually started looking at what was going on. They didn't like what they saw and told lenders to stop delaying foreclosures. Lenders that delayed the foreclosure faced fines and on-site reviews. [1] An on-site review would scare any lender. Who wants the investors they are supposed to represent going thru their files one by one. I think those lenders are scared that they would find mistakes and negligence right and left. It looks like the crazy world of short sales just got a little nuttier!
Thinking about a short sale? I can help you short sale your property and never pay the bank another penny. Send me an e-mail at email@example.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.
When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 805-208-0823.

It is amazing what a bit of paint and new hardware can do for a door. We have had the same bi fold doors in our home since it was built! It definetly needed updated. Recently the family gathering room had been painted and these doors were in one end of that room. They certainly looked awful! I wanted to update the doors but did not want to spend much money on them. I had enough paint left from the paint project to use for the doors. I had seen multiple projects on Pinterest to update bi fold doors and decided to try my hand at it.
Pretty awful looking! A good scrubbing was in order first. The door needed more dimension. One half inch pine boards were cut to fit each door section at the top, middle, and bottom.
They were screwed onto the doors from the backside.
The doors were sanded a bit so that the paint would adhere to the door.
The coat of paint itself was enough to make a huge difference in the way it looks. New hardware was picked out which looks like something that would be used on a barn door.
The doors still needed a little pop of color. I had some grapevine wreaths in a smaller size and soft fall colors of silks.
They were tied onto the handle with jute and can be changed easily with the season.
Just a bit of elbow grease, paint, and boards transformed these bi fold doors!
This is the old milking stool which my dad used when he had milk cows. Very rustic and neat.
A view from the kitchen.
New doors would have definetly cost a ton of money! This project with left over paint, the new hardware, and the wreaths which I already had on hand cost well under $100.00. Lowes cut the boards for me at no extra charge. I just told them the measurements I needed and they cut them. I did a quick check online and the cheapest I found to replace the doors per panel was $121.00 per side. The hardware I found at Lowes. This was a fun project and certainly brightens the corner of the room...
Now on to the curtains! Never a dull moment at Quaker Hill Farm!

Chase ends when motorcyclist runs into tree
A chase of a motorcyclist Tuesday night ended when the motorcycle crashed into a tree on Dersch Road one mile west of Leopard Drive, east of Redding.
The crash happened about 10:30 p.m. Immediately after that, Shasta County sheriff's deputies reported having the man at gunpoint while calling for medical help for him, according to scanner reports.
The chase lasted about two minutes, starting when the man failed to yield. Speeds reached about 80 mph during light traffic on the road. At one point, the motorcyclist was going in the opposing lane of traffic at 60 mph, the California Highway Patrol website said.

NASSCO Celebrates Strong Year of Accomplishments
In 2017, NASSCO (National Association of Sewer Service Companies) continued to expand its influence in the industry with numerous active programs. NASSCO is a national organization dedicated to improving standards relating to the assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation of underground wastewater infrastructure.
"We are more than 40 years old and have become a source for industry training and specifications on rehabilitation," said 2017-18 NASSCO President Peter Kurz. "We have also become a unified voice for our members on issues that affect our industry."
Among the accomplishes of the past year, Kurz cited:
- Released PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) 7.0.3
- Released online MACP/LACP (manhole assessment/lateral assessment) recertification
- Initiated an industry CIPP (cured-in-place-pipe) study
- Launched a new website and database
"In addition," Kurz continued, "we kicked off our lobbying/advocacy program; expanded the scholarship program; implemented ITCP (Inspector Training and Certification Program); updated the CIPP course; initiated local WEF (Water Environment Federation) member associations training co-op on ITCP; and conducted detailed SWOT analysis of members to identify internal strengths and potential problems, and identify external opportunities and challenges.
"We also made progress on updating both the Manual of Practice-Jetter Code of Practice Manual, and the Trenchless Assessment Guide for Rehabilitation."
Staff changes
In 2017, there also were staff additions and changes. Staff Engineer Mayank Khurana joined NASSCO in July, Kathie Lloyd was promoted to administrator/program coordinator, Dawn Jaworski was promoted to communications and online training manager, and Lisa Avolos was hired as part-time administrative assistant.
Looking ahead, Kurz said a top priority is hiring a new executive director to replace Ted DeBoda, P.E., who resigned in January of this year. Kurz said DeBoda will continue to serve as a PACP master trainer and provide consulting services to assure a smooth transition.
Mark Metcalfe, who served as NASSCO president in 2015/2016 has been named interim executive director.
"Anytime there is a change in leadership," Kurz said, "an opportunity is afforded to re-examine focus and goals for the future."
Kurz said as well as maintaining and improving active programs, one goal for the coming year is for NASSCO to become more active in efforts that will have an impact on decisions being made in Washington that affect the association's members.
Kurz's term as president ends in April, when Tim Vivian takes office at NASSCO's annual meeting. Vivian is president and co-owner of Green Mountain Pipeline Services.
Retiring president Peter Kurz is sales manager at Virginia Public Works Equipment's Mid-Atlantic dealer for Vactor sewer cleaners, Envirosight CCTV sewer inspection equipment and other related products. He has 30 years of experience in sewer rehabilitation and maintenance equipment sales, contracting and inspector training.
Prior to his term as NASSCO president, Kurz served on the board of directors and has been a NASSCO member since 2002.
Kurz also is a member of the WEF with affiliations in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, and is a recipient of its Golden Manhole Award.
NASSCO offices are in Marriottsville, Md. Heather Myers is operations manager. Information about NASSCO and its projects is available on its website – nassco.org – or by calling (410) 442-7788.

A Book a Day - Day 31
What do the following books have in common?
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Roald Dahl
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator – Roald Dahl
Over Sea, Under Stone – Susan Cooper
My Family and Other Animals – Gerald Durrell
A Candle in Her Room – Ruth M Arthur (am I the only person in the world who knows this book?)
The Phantom Tollbooth – Norman Juster
Five Children and It – E Nesbit
They were all bought by my mum to encourage my sister to read more books. And it wasn't working.
These were all excellent books, but little sis just wasn't interested. It wasn't that she couldn't read, it was just that she didn't seem to want to. Then a teacher friend of my mum's gently suggested that maybe sis was feeling a bit intimidated, and she should try something that was slightly under her reading age. (Mum was used to my rather precocious reading habits and had assumed that my sister would be the same.)
The book recommended by this wise woman was Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. My sister picked it up and read it, and the rest is history. She read it again and again. And kept on reading it. And it wasn't long before she had gained the confidence to move on to other books. Books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in fact.
Thank you Stanley! Although it did mean I had to return all those books to her shelf because she wanted to read them. Oh, and my dad had to move the cork board above her bed to the other side of the room.

Most of the people love to amass a DVD collection for their recreation and to make it worthwhile, it is imperative that one is easily able to watch it and make sure that it is secure so that one can enjoy it whenever he wants. For that reason, ripping the DVD to your computer is a great way to secure your DVD.
Once you have a backup of your hard copy, you do not have to worry about losing your rare copies which are hard to find. Not only that, copying it to your computer makes it easier for you to watch because you will be doing it on your phone, tablet, computer, laptop, etc.
Thus, we can come to the conclusion that ripping your DVDs is always a good idea which you must practice.
Now, one important thing to be sure of is to select the best software to rip your DVD. Selecting the best software helps you get the best quality version of your DVD and you enjoy it as much as you do with your DVD. To do so, there are a few software such as Handbrake vs WinX DVD Ripper from Digiarty Software.
In this article, we will tell you about both of these. Just scroll down to find out more.
How to rip a DVD with WinX DVD Ripper
- PC with a DVD drive
- WinX DVD Ripper Software
- Strong enough machine to run WinX DVD Ripper soft.
Follow the below mentioned steps in order to rip the DVD to your computer. The steps to follow are:
- Open WinX DVD software and on the top left, you will see a disc option, select it.
- Now, you need to choose the output profile which you are willing to create such as iPhone, iTunes, ISO image, MP4, Huawei, etc.
- Then select the run option and the ripping process will begin.
To run everything with maximum hardware potential for faster results, you need to enable Hardware Accelerator Box or the CPU Core Use. One done, select Deinterlacing for the highest quality or High Quality Engine.
How to rip a DVD with Handbrake
You need to first download and install the Handbrake software in order to rip DVDs. The one problem with handbrake is that it is incapable of bypassing the copyright protection on commercial disks. If the laws of your region legally allow you to create a copy of a DVD for your personal use, then you will have to install libdvdcss in order to proceed. After that, you will have to load it in a disk and you will have to find the actual video which you require, you can do so by dipping it into the files.
Why rip a DVD with WinX DVD Ripper instead of Handbrake?
Following is why you should go with WinX DVD Ripper instead of Handbrake:
- WinX has the ability to rip disc in high quality as well ass fully hardware accelerated speed. It also results in lower file size.
- When you rip a DVD with WinX DVD Ripper, you can do it in nine and a half minutes with 355 frames per second and maintains 98% quality. Handbrake, on the other hand, takes 11 and a half minutes to rip while maintaining just 70% of the quality.
- You do not need to add extra plugins to run WinX DVD Ripper whereas, you need extra plugins for Handbrake.
- Handbrake cannot rip damaged DVDs, latest movies and workouts DVDs, special Japanese DVDs and region-free 99-title DVDs whereas WinX DVD Ripper can rip all of them.
Thus, according to us, you should go for WinX DVD Ripper software to rip DVDs to your computer. It is a quality software and you will not regret using it.

"Richard is clearly passionate about the recruitment industry and very professional in his dealings with both clients and candidates. I have used his service for myself as a candidate and a client and on both occasions he has delivered well."
"Richard is unusual as a recruiter in that he not only knows his subject matter but actually does as he says, he takes an open and collaborative approach and genuinely engages in a professional and effective manner, easy to deal with an honest broker."
The executive services provided by Richard and his team are second to none. Extremely diligent and thorough. A great shortlist provided for an executive role we were recruiting for. Timely communication throughout leading to a quick placement.
First class service all round. One of the best executive recruiters and experiences I have ever had leading to a successful placement of a superb candidate from an exceptional shortlist. Very pleased and will use again without fail
I was recommended to contact Aruba from an ex-colleague in my network who had worked with Richard, as we had a senior appointment to fill. The service provided was second to none, Richard quickly understood our requirements, challenged what we were looking for and delivered a very strong shortlist where all the candidates were serious prospects. All in all, a successful search campaign with our first choice candidate secured. I will certainly be using Richard and his team again.

Richard's response and actions provided the greatest level of help and assistance to me at a very important period in my job-search. Of all the recruiters I contacted, Richard was the quickest to respond, listened carefully to understand my situation and aspirations and was very generous with his time and experience in guiding the necessary rewrites in my CV and my Linked-In profile.

We work from home, and fortunately for us, our business has become quite successful. That also means its taking up 2 full rooms in the house now, and we have had to create a third room out of our main entrance foyer. Since we have other entrance ways, we've locked the front door and that's that.
At the same time the equipment and parts for the business have taken over the storage shed. originally intended to be my pottery studio, that's all gone now. All that's left in there of my stuff is a cabinet full of canning jars. starting in late spring as I begin canning fruits, I need them. Then into fall with canning veggies and soups for the winter. Then through the winter, the jars get emptied, cleaned and go back. Its getting harder and harder to get into that cabinet, nearly dropped many glass jars today tiptoeing through the car parts.
Have now ordered an outdoor storage bench that will sit along side the house here on the west side to hold all my canning gear – from the two canners to all the jars, to most of the lids. When it comes in, if it is as nice as it is supposed to be, will post pictures.
And the business can have the cabinet for more car parts . . .
Did order a solar powered fountain bird bath for the back yard too. The one back there broke and am going to convert that for something for the bees.
Usually, like to be frugal and make do (like the cooler I bought at the thrift for holding my gardening stuff in the eastern garden area), but for this needed some good pieces that will hopefully withstand the arizona sun.

February Review in my Bullet Journal
February, I gave myself quite a bit of grace. It's a short month, and I was in Virginia for ten days right in the middle of it.
My goals for the month were to really get specific about my long-term goals, work through my stack of plays to read, and work through my pre-baby to-do list. In regards to these plans, I feel decently accomplished about the past month. I carved out a space for me to note what needs to be improved for March, and what actions I can take to make those improvements. Yay
Plans/Goals for March
I am simultaneously trying to be patient/realistic, yet hustling/super-productive. I am a mere 9 weeks away from my due date! So yes, I will be tired and could have the baby early, and don't need to beat myself up about accomplishing my lists by the time baby arrives, but the fact that the baby is on his way means I need to be making the most of my time now and prioritize the things that will be easier without a baby (like everything, right? But seriously, there are definitely things that will be more do-able with a sleeping/nursing baby than others!).
Goals for March:
- Teach at least 40 classes with VIPKID
- (I have 30 booked through the next 9 days, so this feels like a low-bar to set, but 40 is my overall monthly goal)
- Launch my new Creating characters project
- Write daily and revisit the outline of the novel I'm working on
- Post 3x a week on my blog and prep 12 posts for "maternity leave"
- Deep clean and declutter our house
- Baby prep crafts and hospital bag packing and reading and trying not to lose my mind!

This is the evening route home for the ER Epping Chapter. Currently there is only a 5:15 pm bus but if numbers increase there may also be a 6 pm.
The route to the Gore Hill Expressway bike path is the same as the main North Shore route home and the riders split at the underpass just before the oval.

Have you braved the sales yet? Despite all the doom and gloom of high street prophecies regarding the future of the high street, sales are well underway with some stores are offering lots of great discounts so if you missed out on Boxing Day like me then there's still time to grab that bargain. But after all that exhausting pre Christmas spending, why bother? Here are 5 reasons to brave the January sales!
To use your gift vouchers
Far too many of us hang on to their gift vouchers for one reason or another but that's never the best plan. This year we've seen one much loved company after another fall by the wayside so although we all hope that it won't happen, which store will be next is anyone's guess! When a company goes into administration, there's the danger that your gift vouchers will no longer be accepted. If the worst does happen then you can apply to the liquidators for the value of the vouchers but there's no guarantee that you'll get any of your money back. If vouchers have been purchased via credit card then you can try to claim the money back from your credit provider under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 but all this takes time and effort. Much easier to spend them when you can!
To support your local High Street
The sales are the ideal time to get out there and show your support for your local High Street and have the opportunity to check out what's on offer first hand in store. Yes online sales shopping may be easier and more relaxing but it's not necessarily quicker in the long run. If you don't like your purchases then you've either got to go to the trouble of posting them back or trek into town anyway. If you're out clothes shopping then there's nothing better than trying before you buy, which is an experience that you just cannot get online. If things progress at the current rate then we won't have the choice. It remains a clear case of 'use it or lose it' when it comes to the High Street.
To pick up a bargain in the sales
Yes it's true, there are bargains to be had and you can get them even though there are also a lot of offers, which really are too good to be true. If you've had your eye on something for some time and have done your research, then there's a good chance that there's a bargain out there with your name on. If it's an impulse buy then always check the store's returns policy so that a bargain doesn't end up being an un-returnable one should you change your mind. Knowledge is key to a successful sales shopping mission!
To see if retail therapy really works
There's no doubt about it, retail therapy feels good. The excitement of picking up that fabulous little bargain can really boost your spirits especially if it's something you have been waiting for! It's often a social occasion whether it be the chance to catch up with friends or enjoy the interactions with other shoppers or sales assistants. As with anything though, the glitz can rub off though if you overdo it. Everything is better in moderation –even wine, and I say that very begrudgingly!
To pick up next year's Christmas gifts in the sales
The sales are just jammed full of discounted gifts so it's the most frugal time to buy for next year! That's if you're organised and motivated enough of course and I have to admit, I need to try a bit harder. With a whole host of gift ideas with a big sales tag on them, what are you waiting for? Even just to pick up next year's Xmas wrap and cards?
I hope some of these reasons inspire you to get out there and enjoy the January sales!
Happy bargain hunting everyone! Let me know what you pick up and where?

Are you sick of hearing about Donald Trump?
Like, how many times can we say that the Republican presidential nominee thinks it's okay to grab a woman "by the pussy" without her consent?
Or force his tiny white mouth hole on their mouth without their consent?
Or discuss how his own daughter is a "piece of ass" who he would probably date if she wasn't his OWN DAUGHTER?
Or say about a child that in 10 years he'll be dating her?
I could go on, but I am so tired of this conversation.
And I assume you are also tired of this conversation, and Hillary Clinton has some advice.
Clinton's solution to Trump over-saturating the news with how terrible he is is simple -- just watch cat GIFs. Seriously.
She said that Trump's actions and rhetoric are enough to make you want to turn off the news (I chucked my TV out the window) or unplug the Internet (I am currently sending carrier pigeons to my editor who is forced to transcribe my posts because I could not take it anymore).
She goes on to say,
...just look at cat GIFs. Believe me, I get it. In the last few weeks I've watched a lot of cats do a lot of weird and interesting things.
I love the image of Hillary Clinton rolling her eyes so hard at Trump that she just clicks over to the next tab on her browser to drown out his noise with cat GIFs.
It isn't bad advice. Just looking at cats make me feel better about the state of the world.
They're so weird. Look at this freak.
Unfortunately, we can't just block out this hater by using cat GIFs.
We have to eventually turn our attention back to the news and ensure that this fucking nutjob never lands the most powerful position in the world.
Just take like... a 10 minute break for those cats though.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku scored a brace as Manchester United booked a quarter-finals spot for the fourth consecutive season with a 2-0 victory over fellow English Premier League (EPL) club Hudderfield.
The 24-year-old Lukaku (3rd minute, 55th) scored in either half to seal Manchester United an important victory after being outplayed by the home side in the initial 45 minutes during the match on Saturday.
Lukaku opened the scoring from a through ball assist by Juan Mata which was perfectly tucked away at the near post.
However, Huddersfield who are 17th in the EPL table gave a good account of themselves disallowing the strong Manchester club control possession in the first half.
Closing on the first-half, Mata had a goal ruled out the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), although there was some confusion over whether the decision was a correct one.
In the second-half, Van La Parra's miskick and a Huddersfield penalty appeal after half-time somehow initiated the second goal for Manchester United.
The goal by Lukaku was started by himself after a Huddersfield corner came to nothing. He later passed to forward Alexis Sanchez and raced onto the return ball, bearing down on goal before smartly finishing it past the goalkeeper.

What About Memory Pillow?
To fully grasp why people would actually pay so much more for such a pillow, although some are much like classic latex pillows, you must fully grasp what all of this hype is all about surrounding this item. It's been so difficult to find only the correct pillow. There are a few individuals who shouldn't use this kind of pillow. Foam pillows have existed for quite a while. They are measured in this way. Memory foam travel pillows are currently among the most popular travel accessories for many. Even though you may would rather have a normal mattress, particularly if you like to sleep on something which is very firm, you might discover great benefit in employing memory foam pillows, particularly those that are combined with gel, so you can sleep better without each of the surplus heat that is typically likely to be experienced when utilizing any sort of memory foam used today.
Please be aware that memory foam isn't made to find wet. It is great for molding to your body and a good pillow will regulate its temperature according to your body. It is popular because of the ability to conform to your individual shape.
If you'd like to increase your capability to sleep at night, it may be time to receive a new mattress. Ensuring that we habitually sleep well is essential to be sure that we are able to enjoy and get the most out of our waking hours. There's a 5-year guarantee that comes with this buy. In addition, if you aren't completely pleased with the standard of one of our goods, then please get in touch with us immediately and we'll promptly take the correct action. You've got a choice between a normal dimensions and a queen dimensions. It can be a little bit more costly than a few of the alternatives, but sometimes more money equals better quality of sleep.
Internet shopping has gotten increasingly more common. You're able to go to the local mattress store, and you are going to be able to discover, a variety of mattresses in various styles, sizes and made of materials that could be good for your back. You'll be accountable for the return shipping. Every order is significant to us because we understand how important it's to you.
As it happens, this question might be more complicated to answer than it initially seems. At first I was not certain what to do. There isn't anything else to be said. It is just hard to measure. It is just what I've been trying to find. Something in this way is personal.
Memory Pillow – the Story
When selecting the proper pillow that's best for you, you might need to spend a bit more money than you would on a typical pillow, but nevertheless, it will help you in the long term. Before settling on this sort of pillow, know that there's just one proven advantage of memory foam. All care was taken to supply consumers with unbiased info on memory foam mattresses. Each successive evening, patient should boost time support pillow is utilized via the evening. Battling neck pain isn't simple, but this might be one of the much better options that will help you fight it. Anyone afflicted by allergic reactions to chemicals might need to avoid this kind of pillow.

As electric bicycles started taking over in Europe, Asia and the Americas, different types of ebikes have entered the space. Some could be considered "low speed electric bikes" as defined by U.S. Public Law, while others are more closely related to mopeds or motorcycles based on their power and speed. For this reason, several "classes" were created in Europe defining how and where specific ebikes could be used.
