FIXME: Text needed
Even if you have the euro symbol working correctly (you can input it from the keyboard and see it on your screen) you still need to see if your applications work properly.
Some problems here arise in graphic applications which might use their own fonts and might, therefore, be unable to represent the euro symbol (even if you input it correctly) because they do not have an internal representation for it.
Hint: you could make your life easier if you run a font selector program like
gtkfontsel (
gtkfontsel package) and you set the mask
of visible fonts to ISO-8859-15.
However, the encoding made by the program for texts and data that it uses is also an important issue. If it's unable to represent internally the charset used (be it ISO-8859-15 or Unicode) support for euro might not fully work. So, one thing is using ISO-8859-15 for menubars, program messages et al, and a different one is using ISO-8859-15 for data used by the program (text, information on databases...).
The following applications are known to have support for the euro character:
Terminals: XTerm, Rxvt and their derivatives, GNOME Terminal, Eterm.
Editors: gVim, Emacs, XEmacs, Kword, Mcedit, kedit, kwrite. Note: Emacs21 (in woody) does support latin9 documents.
Programs using GTK+/GLib
Desktop environments: GNOME and KDE.
Konqueror, Mozilla
groff (nroff, troff, grotty)
Staroffice 5.0 (not provided in Debian but a FAQ) it seems to use it own fonts, so you cannot use the locally installed fonts, however it seems the 'Conga' font does include the euro-character.
LyX (1.1.6fix4 and above)
If the euro character is not represented in your X terminal emulator, you can
change the default font by changing either the users' configuration files
.Xdefaults or
.Xresources) or the system-wide
configuration at
*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 *VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-70-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 *VT100*font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 *VT100*font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 *VT100*font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 *VT100*font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-200-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, make sure you replace old lines
with these options.
After editing a
.Xdefaults file, reload it with xrdb -merge
~/.Xdefaults. (Similarly for
Note that the derivative programs also use the font resource to set the default font, so the procedure is analogous.
You can configure the Gnome terminal to use a euro-ready font by changing the font in the Configuration->Preferences menu.
Rxvt and the programs derived from it (e.g. Aterm, Wterm) also use the
font resource from
~/.Xresources or
~/.Xdefaults, see above for how it's done in XTerm.
Change the user configuration (
~/.Eterm/user.cfg) with:
<Eterm-0.9.1> begin attributes scrollbar_type motif scrollbar_width 10 font default 2 font proportional 0 font 0 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-80-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 font 1 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 font 2 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 font 3 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 font 4 -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 end attributes
~/.vimrc or (systemwide)
set guifont=-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 set encoding=iso-8859-15
GNU Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21 provide support for latin9. However, in versions previous to Emacs21, (Mule) does not show an option to save documents using latin9 (latin0) or ISO-8859-15.
You might need, however, to change the font that Emacs runs with in order to
present the Euro character in X windows. To do so, run emacs with a euro font
with the -fn switch or configure it to always use a given font by editing
Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-Lucidatypewriter-Medium-R-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-iso 8859-15
You can also try adding the following lines in
.emacs, or
.xemacs/init.el for XEmacs:
(set-face-font 'default '"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15")
Gnome applications do mostly support another charset without problems.
Depending on your local configuration, you probably would have to change the
default font. Please start (in Gnome) the Control Center and choose a font
with iso8859-15 encoding. If you don't have gnomecc installed,
you could make this setting manually, creating an customised gtkrc file in your
home directory (
~/.gtkrc) and adding the lines show below.
Better yet, change the systemwide GTK+ settings in
You can do this in two different ways:
Linking (or copying)
/etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 to
/etc/gtk/gtkrc (recommended). In Debian this file contains:
style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" { fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\ -*-arial-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\ -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,\ -*-arial-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,*-r-*" } class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"
Adding the needed lines to
/etc/gtk/gtkrc directly (discouraged
but might be necessary sometimes)
Here are some sample lines you can add to the configuration file:
style "user-font" { font="-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15" } widget_class "*" style "user-font"
KDE euro support works as described at
You have to set up yor Xfree environment as described above. Users have
reported even to have KDE's euro support working in Potato using custom XFree86
3.3.6 fonts (as described in Font configuration, Section
Be careful when setting the locale and use the aliases defined in the X library
since, as described at
setting the charset as 'ISO-8859-15' will not work, it needs to be
'ISO8859-15'. This issue is further discussed at Localisation issues, Section
Once this is done, you have to go to KDE's Control Center::Personalization::Country & Language. And set your Country name and "Charset: iso8859-15".
When writting this document, I first thought (when I read

You should modify your webserver settings if you want to present some sites with a non-ISO8859-1 charset, unless you want your users to change their charset manually each time. Following settings for Apache (eg. put into an .htaccess file) tells the browsers the charset they have to use:
AddType text/html;charset=ISO-8859-15 html
You can use the euro character directly in the documents, this information could be provided also in the HTML documents DTD. In any case you can use, the HTML 4.0 euro representation and not configure Apache.
Works flawlessly by setting if $LC_CTYPE is properly defined. If you are having issues making it work (i.e. you have a broken system) try adding to the muttrc file (user's or global):
set charset=iso-8859-15 set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-15:iso-8859-1:utf-8"
There are several ways to introduce the euro character in LaTeX:
With textcomp package and the \texteuro macro (TS1 fonts)
With the marvosym package, using type1 fonts.
With the eurosym package using metafont fonts.
Thus, you can use the marvosym package that is included in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/marvosym.sty). This package
includes some symbols, including the euro symbol, in different fonts (Times,
Helvetica and Courier). Of course, you do not need to be able to input the
euro character (or see it in X) since the LaTeX files will be translated into
postscript files (no font needed for their viewing with xpdf or
other postscript viewers). The include it in your documents with
Debian 3.0 also has the
tetex-eurosym package which allows the
euro representation too. You can use this package even if on a pure stable
system to reproduce Euro symbols.
In order to represent the cent you need to use
textcomp.sty which
is provided in
A common problem is, however, not having an input encoding in order to include
this characters directly. You can use, however the files provided at File definitions for LaTeX, Appendix A, and
place them under
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ in order to do
FIXME: Wishlist bug against tetex-base so they get included.
Kword includes a document in the demos directory called
eurosign.kwd which can be used to determine if fonts are properly
installed. It is available at
Note: This file was available since Kword 1.1.1-5, see
As of version 1.1.6fix4-2 LyX adds support for latin3, latin4 and latin9 encodings.
It provides latin1, ascii8 and utf8 as devices. In order to generate manpages in latin0 it seems the ascii8 device needs to be used.
Latest versions of groff (1.18, available in sarge or sid) do provide the glyphs for the Euro sign (eu for the official Euro symbol and Eu as a font font-specific glyph variant).
The package
debiandoc-sgml has been fixed as of April 2002 fixing

tgif can support the euro character too. You will have to add
the following lines to your
.Xdefaults or to the system-wide
app-defaults (under
Tgif.AdditionalFonts: \n\ new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal,iso8859-15,Helvetica2-Light\n\ new century schoolbook-bold-r-normal,iso8859-15,Helvetica2-Bold\n\ new century schoolbook-medium-i-normal,iso8859-15,Helvetica2-Italic\n\ new century schoolbook-bold-i-normal,iso8859-15,Helvetica2-BoldItalic
This will add another (Helvetica2) font to the fonts-menu. To get a Euro sign do Esc-$. Repeat this process for any of the other iso8859-15 fonts that you want to use.
Perl is euro friendly. If it outputs some messages similar to "This
locale is not supported" when running with an euro locale, this is
due to not having your system properly configured to support the euro locale
Perl is used by quite a number of administrative scripts (including Debconf) so be prepared to see this errors if you have not configured your system properly (locale-wise).
The following applications (and associated versions) have been reported not to work with the euro character:
LyX 1.1.6fix3. ISO-8859-15 is not included in
/usr/share/lyx/encodings and
shows ISO8859-1 for euro-zone languages (for example, for Spanish). Problems
with LyX are similar to LaTeX, there is a need for a new inputenc.

10 S.Ct. 518
33 L.Ed. 872
March 10, 1890.
This is a suit in equity, brought in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Nebraska on the 9th of February, 1889, by The East Omaha Land Company, a Nebraska corporation, against Thomas Jefferis. The case was heard on a demurrer to the bill, which makes it necessary to state with particularity the allegations of the bill. The are asfollows: The lands which are the subject of the suit are of the value of $2,000 or more. In 1851 the deputy surveyors of the United States, then engaged in surveying the public lands in township 75 N., range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian, in the state of Iowa, ran, marked, and made fieldnotes and plats on the meander line of the left bank of the Missouri river, and returned the said field-notes and plats to the surveyor general of Iowa, who filed the same in the general land office, and they were thereupon duly approved; and since that time no resurvey has been made by the United States of the lands lying along, upon, or near said river, or of the premises which are the subject of the bill. Section 21 in that to wnship was properly surveyed and subdivided by the deputy surveyors, and the plats and notes thereof were duly made, returned, and approved as aforesaid. By the surveys the section was found, and by the plats and notes thereof returned, as fractional; and a part thereof, designated as lot 4, was formed, containing 37.24 acres, the north boundary thereof being on the Missouri river. The meander line of the river was described in the fieldnotes as beginning at meander corner No. 6, the same being at a point on the line between sections 16 and 17 in said township and range, about 100 feet north of the intersection of the exterior lines of said sections 16 and 7 and sections 20 and 21; thence south, 71 deg. east, 2.68 chains, to meander post No. 7, on the north line of lot 4; thence south, 79 deg. 50 min. east, 54 chains; thence north, 85 deg. east, 4.50 chains; thence east 15 chains; thence north, 78 deg. east, 5.25 chains to the corner of sections 21 and 22. A map is annexed, marked 'Exhibit A,' being a true copy of the plat so made, returned, and approved, showing the meander line of the river, and the lines of the subdivisions of sections 16, 17, 21, and 22. On the 10th of October, 1853, one Edmund Jefferis entered lot 4 at the United States land-office for the district of land subject to sale at Kanesville, Iowa, paid the proper officer of the office the legal price thereof, and received therefor the usual register's certificate; and on the 15th of June, 1855, the usual patent of the government was duly issued to him for the land. In the certificate and patent the land was described as lot 4, in fractional section 21, in township 75 north, range 44 west, of the fifth principal meridian, containing 37.24 acres, according to the official plat of the survey of the land returned to the general land-office by the surveyor general. At the time of the entry the meander line of the left bank of the river was the same, or nearly the same, as shown by such field notes and plat. On the 14th of July, 1856, said Jefferis duly conveyed the land to Joseph Still and Joseph I. Town, describing the same simply as lot 4, in section 21, in township 75 N., range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian. On the 21st of September, 1857, Town conveyed the undivided half of the premises, with warranty, to one McCoid, who, on the 16th of October, 1857, quitclaimed the premises to one Coleman. On the 25th of May, 1858, Coleman conveyed them, with warranty, to Mrs. Ruth A. Town. On the 27th of April, 1859, Joseph I. Town and Ruth A. Town conveyed them, with warranty, to one Boin, who, on the 30th of May, 1861, quitclaimed them to one McBride; and McBride, on the 30th of September, 1861, quitclaimed them to one Schoville. Schoville having died, his widow and heirs quitclaimed them to the plaintiff, on the 22d of March, 1888. On the 9th of March, 1888, Still quitclaimed the other undivided half of the premises to Lyman H. Town, who, on the 28th of March, 1888, conveyed the same to the plaintiff. In each of the deeds made by those several parties the premises were described as lot 4, in fractional section 21, township 75 N., range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian, and the deeds were duly recorded in the registry of Potta wattamie county, Iowa, in which county the premises were situated. About the time of the original entry of lot 4 by Edmund Jefferis, new land was formed along and against the whole length of the north line thereof, and from that time continued to form until 1870; so that in that year, at a distance of 20 chains and more from the original meander line before described, and within the lines of the lot on the east and west running north and south, a tract of 40 acres and more had been formed by accretion to the lot, and ever since had been and now is a part thereof. The said land was so formed by natural causes and imperceptible degress,—that is to say, by the operation of the current and waters of the river, washing and depositing earth, sand, and other material against and upon the north line of the lot; and the waters and current of the river receded therefrom, so that the new land so formed became high and dry, above the usual highwater mark, and the river made for itself its main course far north of the original meander line. Such process, begun in 1853 and continued until 1870, went on so slowly that it could not be observed in its progress; but, at intervals of not less than three or four months, it could be discerned by the eye that edditions greater or less had been made to the shore. In 1877 the river, at a point more than a mile south of the north line of the lot, suddenly cut through its bank, and made o r itself a course through the same, leaving all of section 21 north of its bank. A plat, marked 'Exhibit B,' is annexed, upon which is delineated the river both before and after such sudden change. The river is and always has been navigable for steamers of large tonnage. The United States never claimed any interest in the lands so formed by accretion to lot 4. The plaintiff submits that by such several mesne conveyances, whereby the title to lot 4 has come to it, it has become seised in fee, not only of the land included within the boundaries of the lot at the time of such survey, but also of the land so formed by accretion thereto, so that the east and west boundaries of the lot are formed by the protraction of the east and west lines north to the left bank of the river as the same was in 1877, when the river suddenly changed its course, and the north boundary of the lot is the said left bank at that time.
When the plaintiff became seised of the land, it entered into the same, and made large and valuable improvements thereon; and it has projected the enterprise of redeeming the land and other land adjoining it, of improving the same so that the whole will be available for railroad and manufacturing purposes, of building railroad tracks, station-houses, depots, warehouses, and manufacturing establishments, and selling parcels of the land to others for such purposes, and has expended more than $20,000, and has in hand $100,000 which it purposes to expend in grading, and in building roads, bridges, etc. In 1888 one Counzeman and others, without any authority of law, entered upon the land so formed by accretion, and for a time occupied it, but afterwards abandoned it. Recently, Counzeman has made to the defendant a deed of quitclaim purporting to convey a certain parcel of the land so formed by accretion to lot 4. The south line of the land so conveyed to the defendant is about 200 feet north of the original meander line of lot 4, as that line was so run, marked, and platted by the United States surveyors; and the deed purports to convey about 20 acres, which are within the above-recited boundaries of the land formed by accretion to lot 4. When Counzeman entered upon the land, and when he made the deed to the defendant, each of them well knew of the plaintiff's plan and purposes in respect thereof, and that they had no right so to enter; and the defendant threatens to, and, unless restrained by injunction, will, dispossess the plaintiff and seriously interfere with its plans and purposes. The defendant is insolvent, and unable to answer for the damage to which he will subject the plaintiff by entering into the premises and dispossessing the plaintiff.
The bill waives an answer on oath, and prays for an injunction restraining the defendant from entering into, taking possession of, or intermeddling with, any part of the premises conveyed to him by Counzeman, and for a decree declaring that the land so formed against lot 4, including that conveyed to the defendant, became and was a part of lot 4, and included within its description; that the title to it has become and is vested in the plaintiff; that the deed made to the defendant be delivered up to be canceled, that he be perpetually enjoined from asserting the same, or any title or interest thereunder, against the plaintiff; and for general relief. The defendant interposed a general demurrer to the bill for want of equity.
The case was heard before Mr. Justice BREWER, then circuit judge, who filed an opinion on the 1st of March, 1889, directing that the demurrer be sustained. 40 Fed. Rep. 386. On a petition for a rehearing, which was heard by the same judge, he filed an opinion (Id. 390) directing that the demurrer be overruled. Thereupon a decree was entered, on the 13th of November, 1889, overruling the demurrer; granting a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from entering into, taking possession of, or in any manner in termeddling with, the premises, and from asserting any right ori nterest therein; and declaring that the land in question was formed by process of accretion and imperceptible degrees against the premises known and described as lot 4 of section 21, in township 75 N., of range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian, in the state of Iowa, as the same was originally surveyed and platted by the surveyors of the United States, and became, by such accretion, a part of said lot, and was included within such description, and the title thereto passed by such description from the original patentee of the United States to the plaintiff, by divers mesne conveyances, and is now vested in the plaintiff. It was further decreed that the deed made to the defendant by Counzeman, purporting to convey the premises be delivered up to the plaintiff, to be canceled, and that the plaintiff recover its costs to be taxed. The premises upon which the decree operated were described in it as follows: Beginning at a point 1,520 feet north of the south-west corner of lot 4, in section 21, township 75 N., range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian; running thence, north 660 feet; thence east 1,320 feet to the extension due north of the east boundary line of said lot 4, as originally surveyed and platted by the United States; thence south, on that line, 660 feet; and thence west to the place of beginning, containing 20 acres. The decree further states that the defendant prayed an appeal to this court, and that it was allowed.
Finley Burke, for appellant.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 184-187 intentionally omitted]
J. W. Woolworth and C. J. Greene, for appellee.
The grounds upon which the circuit court proceeded in overruling the demurrer to the bill are stated by it in its opinion to be these: (1) It being alleged in the bill that the added land was formed by 'imperceptible degrees,' although the increase was great, resulting in the addition of many acres, yet the time during which it was made was nearly 20 years, and an increase might have been going on, imperceptible from day to day and from week to week, which, during the lapse of so many years, might result in the addition of all the land; and hence the averment of the bill cannot be overthrown, notwithstanding what is known of the character of the Missouri river, and of the soil through which it flows, and of the rapid changes in its banks which are constantly going on. (2) Where a water line is the boundary of a given lot, that line, no matter how it shifts, remains the boundary, and a deed describing the lot by number or name conveys the land up to such shifting water-line, exactly as it does up to the fixed side lines; so that, as long as the doctrine of accretion applies, the water-line, no matter how much it may shift, if named as the boundary, continues to be the boundary, and a deed of the lot carries all the land up to the water-line.
The propositions contended for by the defendant are these: (1) Taking the allegations of the bill, with those facts in relation to the Missouri river of which the court will take judicial notice, it appears that the formation in question was not accretion. (2) Taking the allegations of the bill most strongly against the plaintiff, it must be assumed that some area, however narrow, had formed between the time when the survey was made, in 1851, and the time when the land was entered by the patentee, in October, 1853. (3) The patentee, by the deed made by him to Still and Joseph L. Town, conveyed only 'lot 4;' and, while the successive grantees held the title to that lot, accretions were formed of greater or less extent, which were never conveyed to the plaintiff, the deeds to it calling only for lot 4. The substance of this contention is that, as the conveyance by the patentee to Still and Joseph I. Town described the land simply as 'lot 4,' it passed the title to that lot as it was at the date of the survey in 1851, and not at the date of the deed, in 1856 and thereby excluded the new land formed after the survey of 1851; and that, as accretions of greater or less extent were formed while the several successive grantees held the title, such accretions did not pass by their respective deeds, and the title e reto has not come to the plaintiff.
*It is distinctly alleged in the bill that the new land is an accretion to that originally purchased by the patentee from the United States. The rule of law applicable to such a state of facts is thus stated by this court in New Orleans v. U. S., 10 Pet, 662, 717: 'The question is well settled at common law, that the person whose land is bounded by a stream of water which changes its course gradually, by alluvial formations, shall still hold by the same boundary, including the accumulated soil. No other rule can be applied, on just principles. Every proprietor whose land is thus bounded is subject to loss by the same means which may add to his territory; and, as he is without remedy for his loss in this way, he cannot be held accountable for his gain.' And in Banks v. Ogden, 2 Wall. 57, 67, it is said: 'The rule governing additions made to land bounded by a river, lake, or sea, has been much discussed and variously settled by usage and by positive law. Almost all jurists and legislators, however, both ancient and modern, have agreed that the owner of the land thus bounded is entitled to these additions. By some, the rule has been vindicated on the principle of natural justice, that he who sustains the burden of losses and of repairs, imposed by the contiguity of waters, ought to receive whatever benefits they may bring by accretion; by others, it is derived from the principle of public colicy, that it is the interest of the community that all land should have an owner, and most convenient that insensible additions to the shore should follow the title to the shore itself.'
It is contended by the defendant that this well-settled rule is not applicable to land which borders on the Missouri river, because of the peculiar character of that stream and of the soil through which it flows, the course of the river being tortuous, the current rapid, and the soil a soft, sandy loam, not protected from the action of water either by rocks or the roots of trees; the effect being that the river cuts away its banks, sometimes in a large body, and makes for itself a new course, while the earth thus removed is almost simultaneously deposited elsewhere, and new land is formed almost as rapidly as the former bank was carried away. But it has been held by this court that the general law of accretion in applicable to land on the Mississippiriver; and, that being so, although the changes on the Missouri river are greater and more rapid than on the Mississippi, the difference does not constitute such a difference in principle as to render inapplicable to the Missouri river the general rule of law. In Jones v. Soulard, 24 How. 41, it was held that a riparian proprietor on the Mississippi river at St. Louis was entitled, as such, to all accretions as far out as the middle thread of the stream; and that the rule well established as to fresh-water rivers generally was not varied by the circumstance that the Mississippi at st. Louis is a great and public watercourse. The court said that from the days of Sir Matthew Hale all grants of land bounded by fresh-water rivers, where the expressions designating the water-line were general, conferred the proprietorship on the grantee to the middle thread of the stream, and entitled him to the accretions; that the land to which the accretion attached in that case was an irregular piece of 79 acres, and had nothing peculiar in it to form an exemption from the rule; that the rule applied to such a public watercourse as the Mississippi was at the city of St Louis; and that the doctrine that, on rivers where the tide ebbs and flows, grants of land are bounded by ordinary highwater mark, had no application to the case, nor did the size of the river alter the rule. In Saulet v. Shepherd, 4 Wall. 502, the doctrine of accretion was applied in respect of a lot of alluvion or batture in the Mississippi river fronting the city of New Orleans, in favor of the riparian proprietor; and it was held that the rih t to the alluvion depended upon the fact of the contiguity of the estate to the river, and that, where the accretion was made to a strip of land which bordered on the river, the accretion belonged to such strip, and not to the larger parcel behind it, from which the strip, when sold, was separated. In County of St Clair v. Lovingston, 23 Wall. 46, the same doctrine was applied to a piece of land situated on the east bank of the Mississippi river opposite St. Louis. It was there held that where a survey began 'on the bank of the river,' and was carried thence 'to a point in the river.' the river bank being straight, and running according to such line, the track surveyed was bounded by the river; that alluvion meant the addition to riparian land, gradually and imperceptibly made, through causes, either natural or artificial, by the water to which the land was contiguous; that the test of what was gradual and imperceptible was that, although the witnesses might see from time to time that progress had been made, they could not perceive it while the process was going on; and that it was alluvion whether the addition was made on a stream which overflowed its banks, or on one which did not. The authorities on the subject are collected in the opinion in that case. The rule is as applicable to the Missouri river as it is to the Mississippi, whether the principle on which it rests be that the riparian owner is entitled to the addition to his land because he must bear without compensation the loss of land caused by the action of the water and any consequent expense of repair to the shore, or whether that principle be one of public policy, in that it is to the interest of the community that all lands should have an owner, and most convenient that insensible additions to the shore should follow the title to the shore. In the present case, the land in question is described in the bill as a tract of 40 acres and more. How much, if any of it, was formed between the date of the original survey, in 1851, and the time of the entry in October, 1853, cannot be told; nor how much was formed between 1853 and 1856, while the patentee owned the lot; and so in regard to the time when it was owned by each successive owner. There can be, in the nature of things, no determinate record, as to time, of the steps of the changes. Human memory cannot be relied on to fix them. The very fact of the great changes in result, caused by imperceptible accretion, in the case of the Missouri river, makes even more imperative the application to that river of the law of accretion.
The bill must be held to state a fact, in stating that the land in question was formed by 'imperceptible degrees,' and that the process, begun in 1853 and continued until 1870, resulting in the production by accretion of the tract of 40 acres and more, 'went on so slowly that it could not be observed in its progress, but at intervals of not less than three or more monthsit could be discerned by the eye that additions greater or less had been made to the shore.' The fact, as thus stated, is that the land was formed by imperceptible degrees, within the meaning of the rule of law on the subject, and it is not capable of any construction which would result in the conclusion that the land was not formed by imperceptible degrees. In the Roman law it was said, in the Institutes of Gaius, (book 2, § 70:) 'Alluvion is an addition of soil to land by a river, so gradual that in short periods the change is imperceptible; or, to use a common expression, a latent addition.' Justinian says, (Inst. bk. 2, tit. 1, § 20:) 'That is added by alluvion which is added so gradually that no one can perceive how much is added at any one moment of time.' The same rule was introduced into English jurisprudence. Bracton says, (book 2, c. 2:) 'Alluvion is a latent increase, and that is said to be added by alluvion, whatever is so added by degrees, that it cannot be perceived at what moment of time it is added; for, although you fix your eye-sight upon it for a whole a y, the infirmity of sight cannot appreciate such subtle increments, as may be seen in the case of a gourd, and such like.' Blackstone says, (2 Comm. 262:) 'And as to lands gained from the sea, either by alluvion, by the washing up of sand and earth, so as in time so make terra firma; or by dereliction, as when the sea shrinks bank below the usual watermark,—in these cases the law is held to be that if this gain be by little and little, by small and imperceptible degrees, it shall go to the owner of the land adjoining. For de minimis non curat lex; and, besides, these owners being often losers by the breaking in of the sea, or at charges to keep it out, this possible gain is therefore a reciprocal consideration for such possible charge or loss.' The whole subject was fully considered in England in the case of Rex v. Lord Yarborough, 3 Barn. & C. 91, in the King's Bench, same case, in the house of lords, 2 Bligh, (N. S.) 147, and 1 Dow & C. 178; same case, sub. nom. Gifford v. Lord Yarborough, 5 Bing. 163, in the house of lords, where it was decided, in effect, that in cases of alternate accretion and decretion the riparian proprietors had movable freeholds; that is, moving into the river with the soil as it was imperceptibly formed, and then again receding, when by attrition it was worn away. Lord Yarborough owned lands immediately adjoining the sea, to prevent the encroachment of which upon his he built sea walls on two sides. The ooze, sand, and soil from the sea were gradually deposited outside of and against these walls, until, by the accretion, some 450 acres of land were made in a short time, which the crown claimed against him. But the court of king's bench held, and the decision was affirmed by the house of lords, that, the land being formed by the gradual and imperceptible action of the sea, Lord Yarborough, and not the crown, was entitled to it. See, also, In re Railway Co., 5 Mees. & W. 327; Scratton v. Brown, 4 Barn. & C. 485. The doctrine of the English cases is that accretion is an addition to land conterminous with the water, which is formed so slowly that its progress cannot be perceived, and does not admit of the view that, in order to be accretion, the formation must be one not discernible by comparison at two distinct points of time. In New Orleans v. U. S., supra, the accretion was 140 feet in width, formed in 22 years. In County of St. Clair v. Lovingston, supra, the court says: 'In the light of the authorities, alluvion may be defined as an addition to riparian land, gradually and imperceptibly made by the water to which the land is contiguous. * * * The test as to what is gradual and imperceptible, in the sense of the rule, is that though the witnesses may see from time to time that progress has been made, they could not perceive it while the process was going on.' To the same effect are Jones v. Johnston, 18 How. 150; Jones v. Soulard, 24 How. 41; Schools v. Risley, 10 Wall 91; Halsey v. McCormick, 18 N. Y. 147; Mulry v. Norton, 100 N. Y. 424, 3 N. E. Rep. 581; Academy v. Dickinson, 9 Cush. 544; Land Co. v. Lippincott, 45 N. J. Law, 405. The accretion set forth in the bill is alleged to have taken place between 1853 and 1870, and it is not alleged that the sudden change in the course of the river in 1877 caused any accretion. There is no suggestion in the bill that the land made by the accretion can be identified as having been previously the land of any particular person. There can be no identification unless there is a sudden change, and that is the very opposite of an imperceptible accretion.
We come now to consider the question of what passed by the description in the patent of the land as lot 4, containing 37.24 acres, according to the official plat of the survey of the land, returned to the general land-office by the surveyor general. The bill alleges that in 1851, when the township was surveyed, the meander line of the river, as marked on the plat, ran along the bank of the river, and that at the time of the entry, in 1853, the meander line of the left bank of the river was the same, or nearly the same, as that shown by the field-notes, and on the plat made, returned, and approved in 1851. On these facts it is contended for the defendant that the title to any new land which may have been made between 1851 and 1853, by accretion, did not pass to the patentee by the grant of lot 4 in the patent, but remained in the United States. The plaintiff, on the other hand, contends that the description in the patent of the land as lot 4 in effect made the river the boundary on the north, and passed the title of the United States to any new land that might have been formed before that time. The bill states that the register's certificate and the patent described the land as lot 4, in fractional section 21, in township 75 N., range 44 W., of the fifth principal meridian, containing 37.24 acres, according to the official plat of the survey of said land returned to the general land-office by the surveyor general. That plat, of which a copy is annexed to the bill and marked 'Exhibit A,' shows the Missouri river as the north boundary of lot 4, and that lot is marked on the plat as containing 37.24 acres. It is a familiar rule of law that, where a plat is referred to in a deed as containing a description of land, the courses, distances, and other particulars appearing upon the plat are to be as much regarded, in ascertaining the true description of the land and the intent of the parties, as if they had been expressly enumerated in the deed. Fox v. Sugar Refinery, 109 Mass. 292. This rule is applicable to government lands bounded by the Missouririver as the same are surveyed and platted under the acts of congress; and the patent passed the title of the United States to lot 4, not only as it was at the time of the survey in 1851, but as it was at the date of the patent in 1855, so that the United States did not retain any interest in any accretion formed between the survey in 1851 and the date of the patent.
No different rule is established by the acts of congress which provide for the survey and sale of the public lands. The provisions found in section 2395 et seq. of the Revised Statutes, in regard to the survey of the public lands, are re-enactments of statutes passed in 1796, 1800, 1805, 1820, and 1832. According to these provisions, section 21 being a fractional section, because the river cut through it on its north side, the east and west side lines of lot 4 were to be run north to the river. No provision was made for running the north boundary line of lot 4, but the river formed such north boundary without the running of any line there. The statute provided that where the course of a navigable river rendered it impracticable to form a full township of six miles square, and in those portions of fractional townships where no opposite corresponding corners could be fixed, to which to run straight lines from established corners, the boundary lines should be ascertained by running from the established corners, due north and south or east and west lines, as the case might be, to the water-course, Indian boundary line, or other external boundary of such fractional township. In the present case the plat was made in accordance with the statute, showing the river as the northern boundary of fractional section 21, and of lot 4 therein; and as the patent referred to the official plat of the survey, and thus made that a part of the description of lot 4, that description made the river the boundary of lot 4 on the north. In Railroad Co. v. Schurmeir, 7 Wall. 272, this court said: 'Meander lines are run in surveying fractional portions of the public lands bordering upon navigable rivers, not as boundaries of the tract, but for the purpose of defining the sinuosities of the banks of the stream, and as the means of ascertaining the quantity of the land in the fraction subject to sale, and which is to be paid for by the purchaser. In preparing the official plat from the field-notes the meander line is represented as the border line of the stream, and shows, to a demonstration, that the water-course, and not the meander line, as actually run on the land, is the boundary.' We are therefore of opinion that the patent of June 15, 1855, which described the land conveyed as lot 4, according to the official plat of the survey, of which a copy is annexed to the bill, marked 'Exhibit A,' conveyed to the patentee the title to all accretion which had been formed up to that date.
The case of Jones v. Johnston, 18 How. 150, is cited by the defendant as holding that a grantee can acquire by his deed only the land described in it by metes and bounds, and cannot acquire, by way of appurtenance, land outside of such description. But that case holds that a water-line, which is a shifting line, and may gradually and imperceptibly change, is just as fixed a boundary in the eye of the law as a permanent object, such as a street or a wall; and it justifies the view announced by the circuit court in its opinion, that where a water-line is the boundary of a given lot, that line, no matter how it shifts, remains the boundary, and a deed describing the lot by number or name conveys the land up to such shifting line exactly as it does up to a fixed side line. See, also, Lamb v. Rickets, 11 Ohio, 311; Giraud's Lessee v. Hughes, 1 Gill. & J. 249; Kraut v. Crawford, 18 Iowa, 549.
These views result in the conclusion that the side lines of lot 4 are to be extended to the river, not as the river ran at the time of the survey in 1851, but as it ran at the date of the patent in 1855, and that all the land which existed at the latter date, between the side lines so extended and between the line of the lot on the south and the river on the north, was conveyed by the patent. All the grantors in the deeds made subsequently to the patent, including the patentee, described the land in their successive deeds as lot 4. It is contended by the defendant that this description conveys the land as it was at the date of the entry, or, at most, at the date of the patent; that as, from the allegations in the bill, it must be intended that some accretion was formed between July 14, 1856, the date of the deed by the patentee, and September 21, 1857, the date of the deed by Joseph I. Town to McCoid, the description of the land as lot 4 in the latter deed was not adequate to pass to the grantee the new land, and therefore all the land which was formed afterwards, belonged to Still and Joseph I. Town, and not to McCoid; also that if, in point of fact, there was no accretion between July, 1856, and September, 1857, there must have been accretion subsequently, while some of the successive grantees held the title, prior to 1870.
But we think that in all the deeds the accretion passed by the description of the land as lot 4. In making every deed the grantor described the land simply as lot 4, and did not, by his deed, nor does it appear that he has since or otherwise, set up any claim to any accretion. It must be held, therefore, that each grantor, by his deed, conveyed all claim, not only to what was originally lot 4, but to all accretion thereto. When McCoid, in 1854, conveyed his interest in the premises by the description of lot 4, as he had taken a deed of the undivided half of the premises by the same description from Joseph I. Town, in September, 1857, and had title thereby up to the river, his north line was the river, which was gradually adding land to his land. How much was added during the time he owned his undivided half he could not tell, and he conveyed his interest to Coleman without any reservation. The same is the case with each successive grantor, and each must be held to have passed by his deed his title to all the land up to the river, as the river was at the date of his deed. When each successive owner took his title, lot 4 was a water lot, having the rights of wharfage, landing, and accretion; and, although new land was formed during his ownership, yet when he conveyed the premises he conveyed them b the same description by which he had received the valuable rights referred to. The decree of the circuit court is affirmed.
MILLER, J., did not take any part in the decision of this case.

Getting struck by Cupid's arrow may very well take your breath away and make your heart go pitter-patter this Valentine's Day, reports sexual wellness specialists at Loyola University Health System.
"Falling in love causes our body to release a flood of feel-good chemicals that trigger specific physical reactions," said Pat Mumby, PhD, co-director of the Loyola Sexual Wellness Clinic and professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurosciences, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM). "This internal elixir of love is responsible for making our cheeks flush, our palms sweat and our hearts race."
Levels of these substances, which include dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine, increase when two people fall in love. Dopamine creates feelings of euphoria while adrenaline and norepinephrine are responsible for the pitter-patter of the heart, restlessness and overall preoccupation that go along with experiencing love.
MRI scans indicate that love lights up the pleasure center of the brain. When we fall in love, blood flow increases in this area, which is the same part of the brain implicated in obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
"Love lowers serotonin levels, which is common in people with obsessive-compulsive disorders," said Mary Lynn, DO, co-director of the Loyola Sexual Wellness Clinic and assistant professor, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, SSOM. "This may explain why we concentrate on little other than our partner during the early stages of a relationship."
Doctors caution that these physical responses to love may work to our disadvantage.
"The phrase 'love is blind' is a valid notion because we tend to idealize our partner and see only things that we want to see in the early stages of the relationship," Dr. Mumby said. "Outsiders may have a much more objective and rational perspective on the partnership than the two people involved do."
There are three phases of love, which include lust, attraction and attachment. Lust is a hormone-driven phase where we experience desire. Blood flow to the pleasure center of the brain happens during the attraction phase, when we feel an overwhelming fixation with our partner. This behavior fades during the attachment phase, when the body develops a tolerance to the pleasure stimulants. Endorphins and hormones vasopressin and oxytocin also flood the body at this point creating an overall sense of well-being and security that is conducive to a lasting relationship.

The parents of Dallas shooter Micah Xavier Johnson said they are surprised by his violent rampage and noted he returned from an Army deployment to Afghanistan a changed man.
"I don't know what to say to anybody to make anything better. I didn't see it coming," Johnson's father, James Johnson, said in an interview posted on The Blaze website Monday. "I love my son with all my heart. I hate what he did."
Micah Xavier Johnson, a black 25-year-old from Mesquite, Texas, targeted white officers in Thursday's attack, fatally shooting five and wounding nine more, police said.
His mother, Delphine Johnson, said that as a child her son wanted to join the police, but that after serving six years in the Army Reserves, he became a "hermit."
The gunman served in the Army Reserve for six years, starting in 2009, and did one tour in Afghanistan. In May 2014, six months into his Afghan tour, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier. The Army sent him back to the U.S., recommending an "other than honorable discharge," Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him told The Associated Press.
"In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself," Glendening told The Associated Press. "I'm sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit."
According to a court filing, the victim said she wanted Johnson to "receive mental help," and sought a protective order to keep him away from her and her family. Johnson was ordered to avoid all contact with her.
U.S. & World
The Johnson's family said he never showed signs of hatred for certain groups of people, but that he hated "injustice."
Johnson launched the attack during protests over the police killings of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot near St. Paul, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling, who was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown clarified Monday where Johnson was killed with a bomb delivered by a remote-controlled robot, saying that it happened on the second floor of El Centro College, not a parking garage as authorities previously described. Brown did not provide more details, including the locations of the negotiations that came before the bomb.
The police chief again defended the decision to use the robot, saying he had "already killed us in a grave way, and officers were in surgery that didn't make it."
"This wasn't an ethical dilemma for me," Brown said. "I'd do it again ... to save our officers' lives."
Authorities have said Johnson had plans for a larger assault, possessed enough explosive material to inflict far greater harm and kept a journal of combat tactics. Eleven officers fired at Johnson and two used an explosive device, Brown said, adding that the investigation will involve more than 170 hours of body camera footage and "countless hours" of dashcam video.
"Bravery is not a strong enough word to describe what they did that day," Brown said of officers' response to Thursday's events.
Surgeons at Parkland Memorial Hospital spoke Monday afternoon about treating some of the victims. Dr. Brian H. Williams, who is black, said: "It weighs on my mind constantly (that he was unable to save the officers ... It has to stop. Black men dying and being forgotten. People retaliating against the people sworn to protect us."
Dr. Alex Eastman, the director of the hospital's trauma center who also is a deputy medical director with the city's police department, said the shootings "rocked some guys to their core that I thought were unshakable."
Brown provided details of authorities' negotiations with police Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," saying Johnson laughed at authorities, sang and at one point asked how many officers he had shot. Johnson insisted on speaking with a black negotiator and wrote "RB" and other markings in blood on the wall — the meanings of which were unclear and being looked at by investigators, Brown said.
"This wasn't an ethical dilemma for me," Brown said on Monday.
He said that 11 officers used their firearms, and two used the explosive device against the suspect.
Johnson had no criminal history, according to authorities. Local court records show his parents were divorced in 1996. He was believed to have shared a two-story tan brick home in Mesquite with family members.
Federal agents are trying to trace the origin of the weapons used by Johnson, including a military-style semi-automatic rifle. About 30 agents are involved in identifying bullet casings, said William Temple, the Dallas agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The shootings just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963 marked the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Two El Centro students hid in the building overnight, Brown said, because they were afraid to come out until the shooting stopped. Police got them out of the building Friday morning. Two officers from El Centro were injured.

True Blood Gets Renewed For Season 2
Looks like the fans of Six Feet Under have more power than they even thought. After several stunning reviews (though this contributor felt differently) HBO explains it all in a press release:
For Immediate Release
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2008 – HBO has renewed the new drama series TRUE BLOOD for a second season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, Programming Group and West Coast Operations. Created by Alan Ball, the series will begin production of new episodes early next year in Los Angeles, with debut set for summer 2009.
"We are absolutely thrilled that the critics and our viewers have embraced TRUE BLOOD," noted Lombardo. "Alan Ball has done it again – made an addictive series that is unlike any other."
"I am thrilled to be able to continue to work with such a talented group of writers, cast and crew to explore the characters and world created by Charlaine Harris in her novels," Ball said. "It really is a joy to go to work every day and I couldn't be happier to be back home at HBO."
The Sept. 7 debut episode is proving to be a hit with HBO audiences, attracting more than four million viewers to date, while the debut of the second episode on Sept. 14 posted an unprecedented 24% gain in viewers over the first week's debut.
Critics across the country in Detroit, Baltimore, Denver and Orlando have proclaimed TRUE BLOOD one of the best new shows on TV. USA Today called it "wildly imaginative," with "one of the best ensembles of the new series," while the Washington Post found it "audacious, outrageous and playfully grisly." TV Guide hailed the show as "graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny," and "a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic."
Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, TRUE BLOOD takes place in the not-too-distant future, when vampires have come out of the coffin, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood that means they no longer need humans for their fix. Set in a backwoods Louisiana town, the show follows the romance between waitress Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin), who can read minds, and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer). Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy(r)-winning HBO series "Six Feet Under") created and executive produced the show, as well as wrote and directed episodes of the series, which is based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.
The cast also includes Ryan Kwanten as Sookie's brother Jason, Rutina Wesley as her best friend Tara Thornton, Sam Trammell as Sookie's good-hearted boss Sam Merlotte and Nelsan Ellis as Lafayette Reynolds, a cook at Merlotte's

My partner and I visited the Regency City Clinic in Kanpur following several failed fertility treatments at an earlier fertility clinic for high oestrogen levels. The staff members were very professional and empathetic. The preliminary visit resulted in a gynaecological test, that led to the early diagnosis of a mild ovarian dermoid cyst. Following the removal of the cyst, we were successful in our first IVF trial. I have been blessed with a baby boy 2 months ago. Thank you, Regency!
I was very apprehensive about being diagnosed with painful stones in my kidney. I was afraid of undergoing surgery. After, meeting with renal specialists at Regency, I found out that every stone does not require an operation. With modern techniques of ESWL (Lithotripsy) PCNL & URS, which are non-invasive, I finally got rid of the stones for all times.
I came to Regency Hospital, Kanpur for the treatment of my liver condition. We learned about Regency through friends in my workplace. The team at Regency provided me with top-notch service and personalized attention, much more than I expected. The staff is very helpful and cooperative. I already have and will surely recommend this remarkable health institution to my family and friends in the future.
I had terrible pelvic pain from the last 6-7 months, and that's when I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. Thinking and reading about the cysts made me horrified, but I wanted to cure myself as soon as possible. My aunt, being a doctor herself, recommended Regency Hospital for the treatment of my cysts, and I went ahead with her opinion. From one month, I have been regular with my periods, I have no pelvic pain and I have gotten rid of the cysts. Thanks, Regency!
The term cardiovascular disease covers both heart and blood vessel disorders. To prevent these diseases, you must understand the risk factors and act upon managing them.
These include:
It is crucial to practice a healthy lifestyle with a nutritious diet and adequate sleep. Quit tobacco on your own or with the support of a physician. Get screened periodically for cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension. Along with that, cut cholesterol- trim the oil and fat from your diet, and maintain a healthy weight. Prevention at an initial stage is far better than waiting for the warning signs of heart disease that happen after damage already has been done.
No matter what your age, you should consult a cardiologist if you are concerned about heart disease or have a family history. Discuss with your doctor about any family history of high cholesterol,enlarged heart or congestive heart failure. Keep in mind, the earliest symptoms of heart disease may not be chest pain. They may be fatigue or shortness of breath.
Your doctor should evaluate your family history and lifestyle. Following that, you will receive a guideline for improving your diet and making exercise a regular part of your life. If your cholesterol levels are high, your physician may recommend medications to help lower cholesterol and decrease your risk of a first heart attack. In addition, some people may benefit from an instant CT scan, which is helpful in assessing people at higher risk who require a more aggressive approach to prevention.
Yes, there are newer treatments that have been introduced. Clogged arteries occur when the calcium deposits, fats, salt and fibre accumulates within the walls of the artery. The clogged arteries put a person at risk of heart attack. The other treatments available besides Bypass Surgery are Angioplasty and Stent.
Cardio and Aerobic activities such as swimming, brisk walking, running or biking, strengthens the heart.

Have you ever thought about what makes human beings stand out from the masses? What makes them exceptional, extraordinary, and well worth knowing?
Well, as a thought experiment, I decided to approach this topic a little differently. I decided to go back, throughout my life, and think about the most exceptional people I've ever PERSONALLY known. Then, I tried to figure out what was so exceptional about those exceptional people. Why were they the people I cared the most about or was most impressed by?
I excluded my immediate family, because if nothing else, your family tends to be impressive just because they're family. I also excluded famous people I didn't know, because let's face it: When we're talking about George Washington, Babe Ruth, or even Bill Gates, we know a public persona, not a real person — and there's a world of difference between the two.
As you read through these traits, keep in mind that even the best of us probably won't live up to these measurements in every way. In fact, some of these traits came from people who are memorable BECAUSE OF A SINGLE TRAIT on this list.
Mature masculinity: I'm talking about someone who can make decisions, will fight — and fight well if he has to, but would prefer to avoid fighting, who could build a shelter in the woods, and who's enough of a competent, stand up guy to hang in there and be of use when the going gets tough.
A strong belief in God: Aside from the generosity of spirit and innate decency of devout Christians and Jews that I've known, there's a welcome, yet underappreciated sense of stability that comes with the territory. These people are easier to trust because they don't have to reason out every moral dilemma from scratch. They may not always live up to their ideals, but at least both of you know what they are.
Boldness/assertiveness: It's hard NOT TO ADMIRE people with guts, people who are willing to stand up and be counted, and people who are willing to boldly ask for what they want.
Warmth and focus: It's great to talk to another human being and feel like this person is completely captivated by you. The people who are the best at this give you the impression that you're the only person in the world that they're thinking about while you're talking — and that suits them just fine.
Extraordinary compliments: Anyone can give a compliment, although far too few people do. The people who are best at it give you memorable, heartfelt compliments that you literally remember for years.
Openness: It's risky to be open with people. So, when someone is open about his/her life with you, it tends to stand out. Because it's real, it's interesting. Because they're complimenting you just by trusting you enough to be open, you're flattered.
Being laid back: Storms come through every life and when they do, it's great to be around someone who's laid back about it. They don't over-react. They don't get upset. Yes, they take problems seriously, but life's too short to freak out over things.
They treat people right: Some people can be impressive just by being genuinely nice to people that they don't have to be nice to. Show me someone famous who's friendly to people coming up just to chat, someone who's nice to an overloaded waitress, or an adult who takes the time to politely explain things to a child and it says something.
Well reasoned opinions: It's surprising how often people believe things, even very important things, without understanding why they believe them. Maybe they just heard it said somewhere and it sounded right or sort of makes sense to them; so they adopted a belief. Even if you don't agree with a person, it's great to talk to a person who knows WHY he believes the things that he does. It speaks very well of his intellect.
Competence and dependability: Flakiness is one of my biggest pet peeves; so I love people who are dependable. Show me someone who tells you that he'll get the job done and even if it's turning a mountain into a canyon, you can bank on it getting done, and I'll show you a human being worth knowing.
They're generous with their time and abilities: It's incredibly impressive when someone who's able to help you, but doesn't have to help you, takes the time to do it anyway without asking for anything in return. People like that, you'll go through a wall for if they need you to do it.
Having concerns bigger than themselves: The best people I've ever met all have concerns that are much bigger than their petty little lives. They see themselves as doing things to make life better for God, country, or other people. Coincidentally and perhaps paradoxically, those tend to be the happiest people I've ever run into as well.

TAMPA, Fla. – Kyle Wellwood scored 3:14 into overtime to lead the Winnipeg Jets past the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday night.
Wellwood scored from in close off a left-circle pass from Blake Wheeler.
Wheeler also scored for the Jets, who had lost seven straight games at Tampa Bay dating to the team's days in Atlanta. Ondrej Pavelec finished with 30 saves.
Victor Hedman scored and Mathieu Garon stopped 22 shots for the Lightning, who snapped a season-best five-game winning streak. Garon fell to 5-1 overall against the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise.
Hedman tied it 1-all at 10:34 of the third from the low left circle after taking a nifty neutral zone touch pass by Martin St. Louis. The defenseman snapped a personal 25-game goal drought dating to Oct. 22 against Buffalo.
St. Louis has 10 assists and 13 points during an eight-game point streak. The right wing has at least one assist in all eight games during the stretch.
Wheeler skated down the slot and put the Jets up 1-0 with 15.2 seconds to go in the second on the rebound of Jim Slater's shot from the top of the left circle. Wheeler hadn't scored a goal in his previous seven games.
Garon made a pad save on Bryan Little's low slot shot, while Pavelec had a similar stop on an in-close shot from NHL goals leader Steven Stamkos during a scoreless first.
Stamkos hit the outside of the post on the rebound after Pavelec stopped St. Louis' shot midway through the second. The Lightning outshot Winnipeg 15-7 in the second.
Winnipeg defenseman Dustin Byfuglien was back in the lineup after missing the previous 16 games because of a knee injury and assisted on Wellwood's goal. Jets center Alexander Burmistrov also returned after sitting out two games with concussion-like symptoms.
Notes: Stamkos assisted on Hedman's goal. ... Tampa Bay D Marc-Andre Bergeron (back) and RW Adam Hall (torn forearm muscle) both have resumed practicing. ... Slater stopped a 26-game stretch without an assist ... Lightning rookie RW Brett Connolly, who has gone pointless in 16 consecutive games, was a healthy scratch. ... With the trade deadline nearing, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Dallas, Montreal and Detroit were among the teams with scouts present.

Do the Anti-Tech Protests Still Matter?
Outside of Google I/O yesterday morning, San Francisco's usual squad of anti-tech protesters assembled to air their usual list of grievances against the Valley giant. They may have traded their clown costumes for Star Wars outfits, but the rallying calls were all the same: no more evictions, Google's buses are hurting Muni, and the company perpetuates inequality.
The protest, organized by a coalition that included the SEIU labor union and Eviction Free San Francisco, specifically targeted Google executive Jack Halprin and the low wages paid by Google to security guards and other contractors. Halprin, who works as legal counsel for Google, was previously the subject of two protests in April. Demonstrators claimed he evicted seven families in the Mission District to convert a multi-unit apartment building into a single-family home.
At one point during Wednesday's three-hour-long protest outside the developer conference, San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos told the 50 person crowd outside the Moscone Center that Google was "privatizing everything that's good in this world."
"Google has billions of dollars, and they cannot pay their janitors and security workers a living wage. It's disgusting!"
Then Avalos, who campaigned on these issues against tech-friendly Ed Lee during the 2011 mayoral race, issued a call to action against San Francisco's accelerating inequality:
Community and labor is fighting for a better world. We're fighting for a sustainable economy, for a fair economy, [for an economy] that looks into the opportunity to serve everybody—from housing to healthcare to education. We have all this wealth, but it's going back to the wealthy; it's not coming back into our neighborhoods. We cannot lose out in this defining moment in San Francisco. We have a few years left to be able to shape this city in a direction that supports working people. Maybe two, three years, and then it gets so much more challenging to shift things back.
Fixing income inequality and gentrification in San Francisco sounds like its outside of Google's purview—because it is—but it comes from a place of desperation. It is clear protesters feel the lower and middle-classes are rapidly losing ground in San Francisco, and if things don't turn around soon, it will be too late.
Yet the recent wave of anti-tech protests have seen quite a bit of success. Since demonstrators began targeting the Mission District last fall, they've made gentrification and displacement an everyday topic in San Francisco and forced city leaders to address the problem. The mayor has embraced raising the minimum wage to $15 a hour and an anti-speculation tax is going to the city's ballot in November. Multiple pro-tenant measures have been passed, payouts for evicted tenants have been dramatically raised, and even Republican venture capitalist Ron Conway has been pressured into supporting eviction reform.
However, the movement's impact is waning. The script has stayed largely the same and turnout has hit a ceiling. The major thing holding media interest is the activists' increasing histrionics. While sympathetic politicians like Supervisor Avalos continue to push for the cause on a local level, efforts in Sacramento to curb Ellis Act evictions have hit a roadblock.
Has blocking Google buses, protesting outside executive's homes, and picketing conferences outlived its utility?
In an interview with Valleywag, Erin McElroy, the most visible activist with Eviction Free San Francisco, concedes their movement is struggling to gain further momentum as it is. In San Francisco, retweets have replaced chanting protesters, and politicians—no matter how tech-friendly—respond to mass anger rather than radical outrage.
McElroy says keyboard slacktivism has replaced large rallies. "Not only are we up against the impact the tech boom is having on local displacement, but we're also up against an organizing culture that's become too reliant on technology."
Now with street level protests experiencing low turnout and declining influence over moderate politicians, activists are looking towards new methods to score victories locally. Encouraged by repeated success at the ballot box in curbing luxury waterfront development in the city, activists are beginning to focus on direct democracy to push policy that the Mayor and his high-tech backers would ordinarily shy away form. This includes the aforementioned anti-speculation tax, which McElory says will "impose a graduated tax on speculators who flip buildings within five years of ownership."
It might seem like the activists have successfully fulfilled their mission: they brought the negative effects of tech-fueled gentrification into the limelight and moved onto influencing policy. However, McElroy sees it differently. In order the keep the movement going, local activists are expanding their target, going after Silicon Valley's negative impact beyond the Bay Area, both politically and economically.
As Occupy Wall Street brought wider attention to perils of Big Banks, McElroy believes a similar movement in San Francisco could do the same for Big Tech.
What we're seeing here in terms of [San Francisco's] displacement crisis is related to the different ways that Google and other tech companies accumulate money nationally and internationally. Whether it's offshoring money, corporate lobbying in Washington D.C., or exploiting people, there are a lot of [issues] people are already protesting all over that amount to [tech companies] being able to pay their workers sometimes $200,000 a piece out here where income inequality is growing more rapidly than anyplace in the United States. And I think those connections need to be made and actually have the potential to help develop a broader movement.
Ultimately, McElroy sees what is happening in San Francisco "as fallout" from tech's increasing adoption of typical corporate practices. She and her fellow activists are "eager" to start drawing connections between San Francisco's anti-tech protests and national opposition to surveillance, tax avoidance, and lobbying.
But raising awareness only goes so far. Occupy Wall Street was incredibly successful at drawing media attention, but failed to accomplish any real change. The Bay Area's anti-tech movement will have to beyond a ten person campout at Google's Headquarters if they want to wield influence over Congress.

Homeless Science Whiz Kid Is Not Named Science Prize Finalist
Samantha Garvey, the homeless teen who came into the national spotlight after she became a semifinalist in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search competition, has had a bittersweet 24 hours.
First the bitter part: When the science prize competition finalists were announced today, she was not on the list.
Now the sweet: Last night, Garvey attended President Obama's State of the Union address. As Mark reported, Garvey was invited by Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.).
Newsday reports that Garvey told NBC that flying to Washington for the event was a "once in lifetime" experience.
"It was the craziest feeling," Garvey said. Newsday adds:
"Garvey said was she was impressed by 'people who are so prominent, just standing there, right in front of you.'
She added: 'It was the longest I ever clapped.'
"Before the president's speech in the chamber of the House of Representatives, Garvey rubbed elbows with House Speaker John Boehner (R- Ohio) — Israel's colleague across the political aisle. And she also attended a reception hosted by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)."

Luke 11
Young's Literal Translation
11 And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.'
2 And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;
3 our appointed bread be giving us daily;
4 and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.'
5 And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him,
7 and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.
8 `I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;
9 and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
10 for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
11 `And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?
12 and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?
13 If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'
14 And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,
15 and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;'
16 and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.
17 And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;
18 and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.
19 `But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons -- your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be;
20 but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God.
21 `When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;
22 but when the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth;
23 he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me doth scatter.
24 `When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;
25 and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned;
26 then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.'
27 And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!'
28 And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!'
29 And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
30 for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here!
32 `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here!
33 `And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.
34 `The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;
35 take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be darkness;
36 if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'
37 And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),
38 and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;
40 unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?
41 But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.
42 `But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.
43 `Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.
44 `Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'
45 And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;'
46 and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.
47 `Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;
49 because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,
50 that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;
51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.
52 `Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'
53 And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,
54 laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

Michael Anastassiades founded his London design studio in 1994.
Schooled in industrial design and engineering at London's Royal College of Art and Imperial College – the Cypriot-born designer's lighting, mirrors, and tabletop objects reside between industrial design, sculpture and decorative art. Deceptively simple, yet meticulously detailed, they betray his training as a civil engineer and industrial designer.
Anastassiades is particularly renowned for his lighting products, which comprise 80% of his studio's commissions. Shiny surfaces combined with simple geometric shapes like tubes, oblongs and spheres, articulate architectural spaces. He often chooses reflective materials – such as mirrored glass and polished bronze – that appear to dematerialise his objects, to float independently, interacting with the space surrounding them.
Since collaborating with the architectural firm Studio Mumbai (2006), Anastassiades is increasingly working with some of the world's leading architects – including David Chipperfield and John Pawson – and interior designers such as Studio Ilse. His lights can be seen in hotels, restaurants and stores worldwide – including the Grand Hotel Stockholm, Soho House New York and the Sergio Rossi boutiques worldwide.
Besides being commissioned and collected by private patrons and clients all over the world – Anastassiades has worked with many world renowned cutting-edge designers and prestigious manufacturers, including Hussein Chalayan (1997-8) Swarovski Crystal Palace (2004), Lobmeyer (2012) and Svenskt Tenn (2013). This year, he will be launching two 'families' of lights for Flos.
Featured in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France, and the V&A Museum and Crafts Council in London, his designs have also been showcased at world-renowned galleries and arts organisations including London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Design Museum, Somerset House and Sotheby's; and Mitterand + Cramer in Geneva. Represented by the Nilufar Gallery in Milan – this follows the gallery's commission to create the 'Lit Lines' series of lights (exhibited at Palazzo Durini in 2011) and the 'Tree in the Moonlight' lamp which formed part of their Unlimited Collection (2012) .
For over fifty years we have been crafting objects of light and spreading brightness on generations of dreams

Greek protest turns violent during general strike
Police clashed with protesters throwing petrol bombs in central Athens on Wednesday after an anti-government rally called as part of a general strike in Greece turned violent.
Police clashed with protesters throwing petrol bombs and bottles in central Athens on Wednesday after an anti-government rally called as part of a general strike in Greece turned violent.
Riot police used tear gas and pepper spray against several hundred demonstrators after the violence broke out near the country's parliament. Protesters also set fire to trees in the National Gardens and used hammers to smash paving stones and marble panels to use as missiles against the riot police.
About 50,000 people joined the union-organised march in central Athens on Wednesday, held during a general strike against new austerity measures planned in the crisis-hit country. The action, the first large-scale walk-out since the country's coalition government was formed in June, closed schools and disrupted flights and most services.
Everyone from shopkeepers and pharmacists to teachers, customs workers and car mechanics joined the demonstration, seen as a test of public tolerance for more hardship after two years of harsh spending cuts and tax hikes.
"People, fight, they're drinking your blood," protesters chanted as they banged drums.
As the strike got under way on Wednesday, Greece's prime minister and finance minister hammered out a 11.5 billion euro (US$14.87 billion) package of spending cuts demanded by the country's international lenders.
Greece's politicians have struggled to come up with more austerity measures that would be acceptable to its rescue creditors, with disagreements arising between the three parties that make up the coalition government. The country has been dependent on international loans from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund since mid-2010. Without them, Greece would be forced into a chaotic default on its debts and possibly into an exit from the 17-country bloc that uses the euro.
The country's lenders have demanded more fiscal reforms if they are to continue issuing more rescue payouts. The next payment of 31 billion euros hinges on the government agreeing to further cuts.
Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras and Prime Minister Antonis Samaras formulated a deal on the new 11.5 billion euro austerity package for next year, along with another two billion euros in improved tax collection, a finance ministry official said on Wednesday morning.
The other two party leaders were to be briefed by Samaras on Thursday, a party official said. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on the record.
Wednesday's strike shut down the Acropolis, Greece's most famous tourist site, and halted flights for hours. Ferry services were suspended, schools, shops and gas stations were closed and hospitals were functioning on emergency staff.
One of those striking was Athens hospital worker Alkis Betses, who has seen his monthly salary fall from 1,300 euros to 800 euros, says new cuts will bring it down to 600 euros.
"How can you survive on 600 a month, with ever-rising taxes, and continue to pay bills and buy necessary supplies?"
Betses said hospitals have been hard hit by spending cuts, with staff shortages and long delays in doctors' overtime pay for night shifts.
"The resentment has been there for long before the new measures. Imagine what will happen when they're made public," he said.

Pew: Coverage favors gay marriage
News outlets' coverage of gay marriage tended to be significantly more favorable than unfavorable, according to a new survey Monday.
Stories focusing on support for same-sex marriage were five times more frequent than those focused on opposition, the analysis conducted by the Pew Research Center found.
Of the stories Pew focused on, 47 percent concentrated on supportive viewpoints, while 9 percent concentrated on opposition. Forty-four percent of stories were neutral or presented a balance of opinions.
( PHOTOS: 25 gay-rights milestones)
On Twitter, the split was more even, Pew found. An analysis of tweets found 31 percent were supportive, 28 percent were opposed and 42 percent were neutral, a split more in line with public opinion, Pew said. A recent Pew poll found the public split 51 percent in favor of same-sex marriage to 42 percent against.
While the stronger showing of support was seen across the 58 news outlets Pew analyzed, the range varied outlet to outlet. On cable news, Pew found 64 percent of MSNBC stories were supportive, to 30 percent mixed and 6 percent opposing. Fox News's coverage was 29 percent supportive, 63 percent mixed and 8 percent against. CNN aired 39 percent favorable stories, with 57 percent neutral and 4 percent opposed.
( PHOTOS: Pols who evolved on gay marriage)
Pew analyzed nearly 500 stories from more than 50 sources from March 18, the week before the Supreme Court heard arguments in the gay marriage case, to May 12. POLITICO was one of the websites Pew included in its analysis.
