Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is a guide for AD Ezreal. This is intended to be a guideline rather than a rule set. These are the things I have found to be successful.
I will first address my Mastery Build. I picked up crit chance and cdr from the attack tree. This is intended to supplement the lack of cdr in my item build. Gives you a nice 10% percent out the door. In the utility tree I grab the mana masteries because item build is short on mana. Pick up haste its a must. You can grab the improved flash if you wish .... I personally don't think its worth the point. You grab some more cdr towards the bottom of the tree as well.
Now lets talk about Runes. The health quints in this build let you lane correctly from lvl 1 ... because the other guy probably has them. Gives you a nice health total at 1 with your doran's blade that lets you be properly aggressive and able to capitalize on kill opportunities with having to base. The armor pen marks let your mystic shot hit like a truck and lets you abuse people early and mid game with their baby armor totals. Your mana seals allowing you to cast spells without going back every 30 seconds. With these and sheen your mana is usually fine. The per level seals catch up with the flat at 4 so just hang in there.... their main function is to allow you to lane efficiently. The flat cdr glyphs makes your mystic shot up when you need it (if your still having mana issues you can put more regen/lvl here).
Summoner Spells.
Ghost - Imo this is must have. Its uses are pretty boundless (hase, flee, get to the fight, and kiting)
Flash - I enjoy using flash. Another escape mechanism in conjunction with ghost and arcane shift is silly. It lets you flee and chase as well. In addition I find when you are constantly blinking away from the melee character only to kite him to his death he starts to leave you alone.... and that lets you really murder. Ez is a squishy hero so getting in and out quick saves your *** countless times.
You can grab other things in place of flash according to your play style. ( Ignite vs an opposing Soraka for example but I have found flash to be most effective more than 90% of the time. ) However if you choose revive I ask that you please uninstall.
Item Build
Now for the fun part.
Your starting item is a Doran's Blade. Gives you health, dmg, and life steal, this makes your laneing phase very easy in conjunction with yout health runes. Pick up a health pot for when that noob warwick attempts his gank.
From here pick up boots 1 because your blisteringly slow without them. Your summoner abilities and "E" ability make them adequate for a while so we hold off on boots 2 for a bit.
Now grab Brutalizer. Now your beginning to take shape. The cdr and damage are icing on the cake compared to the armor pen on this item. Keeps your q hiting hard.
Usually time to finish those boots now. I'd say 90% of the time you want merc treds. Unless the enemy team is almost, or completely devoid of magic dmg and CC then you'll want these. If they are completer devoid I'd recommend boots of swiftness for the combat maneuverability most other boots are **** for Ez.
Build a sheen now. The item passive synergies so well with your Q and your passive you'd be insane not to get this. Manna on this item is nice as well.
Next you build a phage for some increased damage, some much needed health, and a chance to slow that can proc of Mystic Shot("Q")
You have 2 of your 3 pieces of Trinity Force now so finish building it. Great item for Ez as every stat and passive you utilize effectively.
In most games from here I build a Madred's Bloodrazor. You are a physical carry so your kinda of expected to be able to tear through tanks. This lets you do that plus scales amazingly all game as your opponents gain health. The 4% procs of your mystic shot too so its money.
You've pissed em off enough now they are starting to stack chain shirts. Build a Black Cleaver ... More dmg, reduce their armor. This with your marks, Brutalizer, and Bloodrazors let you tear through anyone even 6 stack chogath with 2 sunfires.
Game Really should be over by now but if for some reason its not build your Brut into the ghostblade and then build a Bloodthirster. The life steal can be very beneficial end game.
Passive - Rising Spell Force
Every time Ez lands an ability he gains 15% attack speed stacking up to five times for a short time. He this up in teamfights by landing mystic shot on cool down. Good passive that gives Ez all the attack speed he needs.
Q - Mystic Shot
This is your bread and butter. Scales incredibly with attack dmg, has an insane range, and applies on hit effects from your items. It is a skill shot so make sure your aim is true (Warning! this will hit minions .... aim accordingly). This has an extremly short cool down so make sure your punishing the enemy with it every opportunity in a team fight.
W - Essence Flux
This spell is a shell of its former self. Largely unimportant for ad ezreal. The attack speed increase and decrease for allies and enemies respectively is nice for end game but doesn't warrant us picking it up until we are forced to. Also a skill shot travels trough everything effecting only champions. Just aim for as many people as possible.
E - Arcane Shift
Ez's built in blink. Ez teleports to target location and fires a
homing missile at nearest enemy unit (will hit minions). This skill scales with ap but the dmg is still rather nice until very late game. Most of the time its better to save this an escape/kite mechanism rather than to initiate with.
R - Trueshot Barrage
Another skill shot. This can be fired anywhere on the map (abuse this at 6 by looking to assist your teammates in other lanes from afar.) Keep in mind this deals less damage as this passes through enemy units. It has a very wide edge making it somewhat harder to dodge.
Some Tips on playing Ezreal.
*You'll likely want to head mid. You a ranged carry with a global ultimate so your a perfect candidate.
*Always make sure you have enough mana to cast arcane shift while laneing... to avoid those ganks.
*Landing your mystic shot reduces the cool down on your other abilities. Zap a creep as you run by just for that(No need to kill it).
*The start of a teamfight while the enemy team is bunched up is the correct time to use your ult. Gives you a nice chunk of aoe damage from the start and puts your passive at 5 stacks so you can dish out the pain.
*Your ult is on a reasonably short CD so unless a teamfight is imminent don't be afraid to let that sucker fly.
*Having a fort pot in your inventory is a great idea by mid game. Pop it right before a teamfight for added survivability.
*Watch out for Akali she seems to be made to tear you up.
*A proper placed ward often pays for itself.
*Fighting in the middle of a creep wave drastically affects your damage output
*Pick off low health baseing enemies at their tower with your ult
*A ward in conjunction with a properly timed ult can steal barron from any point on the map
*Both red and blue buff can be used well by Ez
Thats it ... hit those skill shots and you'll be fine
Happy Hunting

The Rocker poster
If you wanted an image of Dwight Schrute from THE OFFICE wearing nothing but striped britches and cowboy boots, well, um... today's your lucky day?
The fleshy final poster from THE ROCKER is here, and it has apparently already rocked somebody's pants off. The movie stars Rainn Wilson as Robert Fish Fishman, the drummer for an eighties hair band. He's living the rock n roll dream until he is kicked out of the group. Twenty years later, the desperate rocker joins his nephews band, A.D.D., finally reclaiming the rock-god throne hes always thought he deserved -- while taking his much younger bandmates along for the ride of their lives.
|Extra Tidbit:
|The movie also features Christina Applegate and SUPERBAD cutie Emma Stone. And this is what we get for a poster.

digitalmars.D - Chunks, stream fusion, sortedness invariance
- bearophile (204/204) Mar 10 2013 One of the best ways to see how the development of Phobos is
One of the best ways to see how the development of Phobos is going is to actually use it in some program. There are many ways to write a program that generates text with a Markov chain. After trying various alternative implementations in D, I have produced this short version: import std.stdio, std.file, std.array, std.string, std.range, std.algorithm, std.typecons, std.random; void main() { enum K = 7; // K is order + 1. enum nGenerate = 1_000; const text = "moby_dick.txt" .readText .toLower .replace("\n", " ") .removechars("^a-z ") .squeeze(" "); auto pieces = iota(text.length - K + 1) .map!(i => text[i .. i + K]) .array .sort .group .array .assumeSorted!((a, b) => a[0][0..K-1] < b[0][0..K-1]); string precedent = pieces[pieces.map!q{a[1]}.dice][0]; std.stdio.write(precedent); foreach (_; 0 .. nGenerate) { alias P = typeof(pieces[0]); auto selected = pieces.equalRange(P(precedent[1 .. $] ~ ' ', 0)); precedent = selected[selected.map!q{a[1]}.dice][0]; std.stdio.write(precedent[$ - 1]); } } It processes about 1.2 MB of text and generates 1000 random chars in about 2 seconds. It's not the fastest program, but for my purposes it's fast enough. And it's short and not hard to read. The first part loads the text, and filters it, producing a clean string. The second part generates the overlapping string slices, sorts and groups them, finding their frequency. And then assumes the groups as sorted. The assumeSorted is fed with a lambda that is not strictly necessary, but it should speed up the program a little, because the second field of the tuples is ignored. Then we create the seed of the Markov chain, considering just the frequencies of all slices. We use dice for a biased extraction. Then the loop uses the precedent slice to extract the correctly biased successive slice. equalRange() performs a binary search on the pairs, and then a gallop to find the second end of the interval of the slices that will be used by the biased dice. This is very convenient and probably fast. I don't know of other languages (maybe beside C++) with a so nice equalRange(). This program is nice (and it shows that Phobos has come a long way compared to one or two years ago), but there are several things that could and should be improved, listed below. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The program uses this to generate the chunks: auto pieces = iota(text.length - K + 1) .map!(i => text[i .. i + K]) In Phobos there is a function that gives the chunks: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_range.html#.chunks Chunks!(Source) chunks(Source)(Source source, size_t chunkSize); But unfortunately it can't be used here because it lacks a very useful nOverlap optional field that tells it how much overlap the slices should have: Chunks!(Source) chunks(Source)(Source source, in size_t chunkSize, in size_t nOverlap = 0); With that extra argument the code becomes as it should be: auto pieces = text .chunks(K, K - 1) The relative request from 2011: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6621 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This shows just the first part of the program, with the text cleaning: import std.file: readText; import std.string: toLower, replace, removechars, squeeze; void main() { const clean = "text.txt" .readText .toLower .replace("\n", " ") .removechars("^a-z ") .squeeze(" "); // import std.stdio; writeln(clean); } It's not a fast part of the program. In D there are many ways to write it faster. One simple way is to use cast(read()) instead readText(), because this program assumes the input to be ASCII any way. Another way to speed up the code a little is to use inPlaceToLower. Such two ideas halve the creation time of the string 'clean'. But D is a multi-level language, so you can go down to implement a finite state machine that uses the program counter and goto to jump between about 13 states (and I am not even talking about inline asm). If you don't want to go that low, using a simple switch is enough to create the string 'clean' about 10 or 12 times faster than the original program: import std.file: read; import std.exception: assumeUnique; void main() { auto txt = cast(char[])read("moby_dick.txt"); int precedent = -1; size_t pos = 0; for (size_t i = 0; i < txt.length; i++) { immutable c = txt[i]; switch (c) { case 'a': .. case 'z': txt[pos] = c; pos++; precedent = c; break; case 'A': .. case 'Z': txt[pos] = cast(char)(c + (cast(char)'a' - 'A')); precedent = txt[pos]; pos++; break; case ' ': if (precedent != ' ') { txt[pos] = c; pos++; } precedent = c; break; case '\n', '\r': if (precedent != ' ') { txt[pos] = ' '; pos++; } precedent = ' '; break; default: } } const clean = assumeUnique(txt[0 .. pos]); // import std.stdio; writeln(clean); } This kind of code is fast, but it's long, and to be written it requires a bit of thinking. The original code with the chain of string functions is easy to write (if you don't miss a processing step!), but it's kind of slow. A modern language should offer a third way: simple enough code that is fast enough (even if it's not as fast as the low-level handwritten code). The main problem of code like this is that it creates a new large string at each step: "text.txt".readText.toLower.replace("\n", " ") .removechars("^a-z ").squeeze(" ") Lazy functional languages like Haskell show that there is a better way. In Phobos there are many lazy functions, but if you want to process a string, you have to go back to mostly eager functions. So I think there's a need for more lazy string processing functions. But I think adding more lazy string processing functions to Phobos is not enough. If you write that code in D with lazy functions you risk having a program that's slower than the current string processing code. So I think to face this program D front end needs some deforestation (also named stream fusion, www.google.com/search?q=haskell+deforestation ) logic that works on pure lazy ranges. (Deforestation is possible even when there is no laziness, like in the original code. But purity is needed to simplify the analysis a lot). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Now let's take another look at the second part of the program: auto pieces = iota(text.length - K + 1) .map!(i => text[i .. i + K]) .array .sort .group .array .assumeSorted!((a, b) => a[0][0..K-1] < b[0][0..K-1]); The missing argument for chunks is not the only visible problem. We sort, group, convert to an array, and then we have to state again that the array of (slice,frequency) pairs is sorted again. But both group and array don't change the order of items, so the result of the array() is already sorted. So in theory this should be enough for the successive binary searches of equalRange(): auto pieces = iota(text.length - K + 1) .map!(i => text[i .. i + K]) .array .sort .group .array; I have raised this topic already few days ago, "group sortedness invariance": http://forum.dlang.org/thread/zmiqbifxevljazceowif forum.dlang.org I think group(SortedRange) should give a lazy (input range) SortedRange of pairs. This will be possible after this enhancement, that will allow SortedRange to be an input range too: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9616 But that's not enough, because array() is going to convert the lazy SortedRange into a regular array, forgetting that it's sorted. One simple solution is to introduce a function like sortedArray() that converts a lazy range into a random-access eager range that is also a SortedRange. But maybe this is a bit too much brute solution. Maybe there are more general solutions. Ideas welcome. Bye, bearophile

Yantai Raffles delivers self-unloader
China's Yantai Raffles Shipyard this week made its first delivery of 2010, the Vestnes, a 30,000 dwt self-unloading bulk carrier that will be operated by Jebsens Management AS.
The state of the art vessel has a length of 175 m, breadth of 26 m and a boom outreach of 77 m. It is designed to carry 30,000 t of heavy cargo such as coal and rocks. Its maiden voyage will be loading cargo from Northern China to be unloaded in Vietnam.
Mr. Brian Chang, Deputy Chairman of Yantai Raffles said "We are very proud to announce our first delivery of 2010. This is a very memorable day for both Yantai Raffles and for Jebsens who have worked tirelessly over the past few years on this project. We are confident we can continue to build a long last relationship with Jebsens in the future."

How to CookRice
How to Make Great (Fluffy, Stress-Free) Rice
There are so many great conversations on the Hotline -- it's hard to choose a favorite. But we'll be doing it, once a week, to spread the wealth of our community's knowledge -- and to keep the conversation going.
Today: Stop thinking about it and just do it -- here's how to make perfect rice a reality.
If pasta is the life of the carb party, and bread is the staff of life, rice is decidedly more complicated. We adore it -- it's cheap, it's gluten-free, it globetrots from India to East Asia to Italy -- yet it seems as though we spend more time talking about how to cook it than we do actually making (and feasting on) it.
Enough already, we say! Lincoln cut to the chase and asked how to make perfect rice a reality. If your answers are any indication, there can be no going wrong -- just choose the method you like best:
Before You Start
- Andrea Nguyen points out that "the amount of water varies per the type of rice." She uses 1 1/4 cups of water to 1 cup of regular, long-grain rice; 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of basmati rice; and even more water for brown rice, though she recommends the partially milled 'beige' rice instead, since it cooks as quickly as white rice.
- When it's time to cook, Andrea Nguyen says: "Wash your rice to give it a good, clean flavor. The water won't be clear with white rice so there's no need to aim for that. Rather, aim to rinse off some of the starch. In a heavy saucepan, bring the rice and water to a boil over high heat, slightly lower the heat, stir occasionally 'til you see a few craters/holes and a glossy layer of liquid on top, then cover and put the heat to low. Cook 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit 10 minutes. Fluff, then sit 10 minutes. Refluff before serving. The sitting and fluffing finishes the cooking process, and separates the grains."
- HalfPint and dinner at ten both follow similar boil-cover-steam-fluff routines, though the difference is in the details -- HalfPint uses a 1:1 water to rice ratio, while dinner at ten uses a ratio of 2:1. Best to pay close attention on your first go-round, until you hit your magic number.
- Before she adds her water, dinner at ten does what Roberto Santibañez does: "Sauté 1 cup of rice in a heavy pot over medium heat in a bit of oil or butter until translucent." (Dave on the grill swears by this method, too.)
- For brown rice, Stephanie "basically fills the pot up," adds oil and spices, brings it to a good simmer, and lets it cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes. "At 30 minutes, turn off heat and drain off water while you count to 10. Cover pot and let the rice sit and steam for at least 10 minutes. Fluff and enjoy perfect rice with little fuss."
- Patty marguet never measures rice to water ratios, but advises: "always rinse well, pour it into a glazed baking dish with a glass lid, and sprinkle with salt. Cover with cool water a half-inch above the rice and bake at 400° F for 45 minutes to one hour, or until all of the water is absorbed. Remove the lid so the steam escapes; after about 10 to 15 minutes, fluff; fluff again after another 10 minutes, and serve."
Rice Cooker
- Put away your suspicious side-eye -- this is a perfectly valid shortcut. "Get a rice maker," urges Dave on the grill, "It'll change your life." HalfPint swears by hers, too.
- Michael -- a voracious rice eater who puts away "one to two pounds of rice a week" -- offers one way around fiddling with cook time and ratios when using brown rice, in response to Inko's question elsewhere on the Hotline about The New Persian Kitchen. "All it requires is some advance planning," says Michael, and a long soak in acidulated water. After thoroughly washing the rice, "I rinse and drain it well, pour a tablespoon or two of raw organic apple cider vinegar over it, cover it with water, then seal the container and place it on top of my refrigerator to keep warm for sixteen to twenty hours...Rinse and drain it thoroughly before cooking to lose the flavor of whatever acid you used. You'll find that not only does this make brown rice cook faster, but it bears much more similarity in texture to white rice," and helps you digest the rice and absorb more of its nutrients.

The future of vacuum cleaners
Robert Kravitz
Because I work in the professional cleaning industry, I have a tendency to check what kinds of tools and equipment are being used by housekeepers in the hotels I stay in. What is revealing when traveling in Europe or most of Asia is the absence of upright vacuum cleaners. In the U.S., uprights still command as much as 80% of all vacuums sold. However, in other parts of the world, it is virtually the opposite.
This was borne out in a 2012 survey published in Appliance Magazine, which serves the home appliance market, and conducted by a major vacuum cleaner manufacturer. More than 28,000 people in 23 different countries responded to the online survey about their vacuum cleaner selection, and these were the findings:
- Bagged canister vacuum cleaner: 46%
- Bagless canister vacuum cleaner: 17%
- Bagged upright vacuum cleaner: 6%
- Bagless upright vacuum cleaner: 7%
- Corded stick vacuum cleaner: 1%
- Wet and dry vacuum cleaner: 4%
- Steam cleaner: 1%
- Central vacuum cleaner: 3%
- Robotic vacuum cleaner: 1%
- Does not own a vacuum cleaner for floors: 9%
While this was a survey of consumers, it is still quite revealing that worldwide only 6% of respondents indicated they used an upright machine while nearly half used a canister. Do people around the world know something the American cleaning professional, hotel housekeeping manager or building administrator does not know? Possibly looking at the vacuuming alternatives in a bit closer detail will answer this question.
Yes, canisters are the vacuum cleaner of choice around the world. To give me an idea of why this is so, I asked Sean Martschinke, product manufacturer for Tornado Industries, which manufactures all types of professional vacuum cleaners – canisters, uprights, backpacks, industrial, etc.
According to Martschinke, one reason for this disparity is simply tradition. The upright vacuum cleaner was developed in the U.S. became the traditional vacuum cleaner. In other parts of the world, different types of canister machines were the first vacuums brought to market, making them the traditional machine overseas.
However, there are also some very specific reasons why some vacuum cleaner users, both professional and consumer, prefer canisters. According to Martschinke these include the following:
It is often possible to fit a more powerful motor into a canister machine. This can improve overall cleaning performance
Canisters have less openings, hoses and areas where air may escape, which can protect indoor air quality.
The hose on the vacuum cleaner allows cleaning workers to easily reach deep underneath furniture or, as necessary, clean high areas such as the tops of curtains that might collect dust.
"This flexibility is likely the number one reason many cleaning workers prefer a canister," adds Martschinke.
While an upright will likely have basic tools and attachments, invariably canisters have several tools and attachments for all types of vacuuming.
Other Alternatives
We should point out that there is a vacuum cleaner type that might be upsetting the vacuum cleaner applecart both here in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. This machine, according to Martschinke, is the backpack vacuum cleaner.
As the name implies, these vacuum cleaners are worn on the user's back using a harness, similar to a camping backpack harness. They were introduced in the 1990s, but early models tended to be heavy, noisy, uncomfortable, and generate excess heat, all of which attracted few professional users who might be wearing one of these machines several hours every day.
"If you follow the evolution of the backpack vacuum, you see that there are advances and then plateaus," says Martschinke. "New technologies are introduced that help make these machines lighter and more powerful and then things stay the same for a few years."
However, Martschinke says we are currently on an upswing in the introduction of backpack technologies. This is largely due to the development of new ergonomically designed harnesses by a manufacturer that has been making backpacks harnesses for more than 100 years.
"These new designs are proving to be exceptionally comfortable with considerably more air space between the user and the machine, which helps reduce [worker] fatigue and improve productivity.
Other reasons backpacks are making inroads in the professional cleaning industry is the fact that they have the same flexibility of a canister, but, when used properly, can clean as much as 7,000 square feet per hour. This compares to about 3,000 to 4,000 square feet per hour, according to John Walker, a well-respected cleaning industry consultant. Another reason for this improved worker productivity, according to Walker, is that workers can change tools on the spot, as needed for the job. Attachments are typically stored on a hip belt worn by the user so less stop and go time is taken to switch attachments, also speeding up worker productivity.
The survey mentioned earlier was conducted in 2012. It will be interesting to see if there has been some movement in what types of vacuum cleaners are being used worldwide by 2020. Traditions only last so long, and when it comes to vacuum cleaner traditions, we may be in store for some changes.

CHAMP Spikes, the number one brand on tour, picked up another two wins this weekend with the PGA Canadian tour victory and the John Hammons LPGA Classic. CHAMP Spikes, which recently swept the 2006 "Grand Slam," was also the spike of choice for the winner of the European Masters this time around.
The CHAMP Stinger™ wearing victor posted a 5-under 65 Sunday, finishing with a 14-under total to capture the Canadian Open crown — his second PGA TOUR title of the 2006 season. Over on the LPGA, the champ finished the 2006 John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic at 70 – 61 – 68 = 199 (-14) and defeated the Defending Champion by two strokes.
"It's always satisfying to complete a weekend with another championship for CHAMP Spikes," said Harris MacNeill, president of CHAMP. "This weekend is another example of how we became the number one spike on tour-by providing golfers different spikes for different terrains. This past weekend, the Deutsche Bank champion used our traditional Cermec spike and about half the field at the BMW Open utilized our top-selling Stinger spike."
With these victories, CHAMP now owns 24 of 35 PGA TOUR titles, 14 of 21 on the European Tour and 12 of 21 on the LPGA in 2006, including the PGA "Grand Slam" as CHAMP swept all four majors.

Every home and landscape looks better in the right light. (read more below....)
We prefer the term "outdoor lighting" because a good lighting job will include more than landscape lighting.

We will design and install a night lighting system that will illuminate all your property's best features throughout the evening. Why enjoy your home and landscape only during the daytime? Once you've seen how amazing it all can look when it's been illuminated properly, you'll see your living space in a whole new light!

Looks like in the picture but the sizing is a little bit tricky. I got a small/Medium: Pants are a little bit loose around the knees; shoulder pads are for very wide shoulders; shirt is kind of long and loose in the waist (not as sexy as it is advertised on my body).

In Praise of Clinton's Brain
In his Dec. 9 press conference, Bill Clinton, perhaps inadvertently, stimulated some thoughts about his presidential legacy. Asked who he would name as man of the century, Clinton chose Franklin Roosevelt (reportedly Time magazine has made the same choice). Clinton told the famous story of Roosevelt, on first being elected president in 1932, visiting the nonagenarian Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, prompting Holmes to observe that while Roosevelt didn't have a first-class mind, he had a first-class temperament.
By now it's well understood that Clinton lacks a first-class, or even a second-class, temperament. He can't control his impulses, especially the libidinal ones; he has an unattractive tendency to blame other people for his problems; he has a terrifyingly effective gift for misleading and, occasionally, telling outright lies. People who work for him rarely come away from the experience with a high opinion of his character. Chatterbox continues to believe that the nation (and, without question, Al Gore) would have been better off had Clinton chosen to resign the presidency in the summer of 1998.
But though Clinton lacks a first-class temperament, he possesses a first-class mind. By this, Chatterbox doesn't mean only that Clinton is knowledgeable and smart; Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon were knowledgeable and smart, too, but they weren't particularly good presidents. As the former Carter speechwriter James Fallows* famously observed in an Atlantic Monthly article, "The Passionless Presidency," Carter had a habit of deploying his intelligence toward pathetically small matters like deciding who could use the White House tennis court. Nixon, meanwhile, was someone whose brilliance blended seamlessly into paranoia, doing serious damage to his judgment. Clinton, by contrast, is someone whose brain (unlike other parts of his body) seems always to be deployed in just the right places, shining light on an astonishing variety of important matters. (Check out his comments at yesterday's press conference on trade, Chechnya, and health care, among others.) The many accomplishments of Clinton's administration, most especially his management of the economy, resulted much more from the sharpness and discipline of Clinton's mind than from the shiftiness and dithering of Clinton's temperament (which some people have mistaken for brilliant leadership).
There are many smart people running for president this year, but none of them will likely match Clinton's ability to wear his intelligence so lightly and so well. Anyone who's ever read Al Gore's Earth in the Balance knows that Gore's formidable intelligence is a clunky suit of armor. (Fortunately, when Gore isn't in his tortured-intellectual mode, his judgment is much better.) Bill Bradley's intelligence has a narcissistic quality, too often focused on demonstrating its exquisite sensitivity. John McCain's intelligence, like his temperament, is impulsive in the best and worst senses. (For an example of the latter, see "Who's Afraid of an Internet Tax?") Steve Forbes' is monomaniacal and deluded. Gary Bauer's, Pat Buchanan's, and Alan Keyes' are completely devoted to articulating (magnificently well) their extremist ideologies. Orrin Hatch and George W. Bush ... well, let's just say both are emphasizing character and quantity of experience above all else.
Chatterbox will not miss many things about Clinton when he's gone. But he will miss his brain, and that will be missing a lot.
*subsequently Chatterbox's boss at U.S. News & World Report

September field day in Hillsdale County features nutrient management and conservation practices
A field day for livestock producers and field crop farmers who utilize commercial fertilizer or manure in their crop nutrient program.
The Hillsdale County Nutrient Management Field Day event promises to be a very informative and interactive day. The event will provide participants the opportunity to see firsthand conservation practices that could be implemented on farms throughout Michigan, time to network with fellow producers and learn from agency staff, Extension educators and more.
The topics featured throughout this field day event include:
- Dig deeper into soil health as we evaluate two soil pits with keynote speaker Barry Fisher, USDA NRCS Indiana State Soil Health Specialist.
- Learn more about drainage water management with Paul Sweeney from Ecosystem Services Exchange.
- Walk a cover crop test plot with Isaac Weber, Center Seeds.
- Join Michigan State University Extension educator, Marilyn Thelen, in a demonstration with the rainfall simulator.
- Discuss conservation practices and cost share opportunities with Jason Wheeler, NRCS, and Laura Campbell, Michigan Farm Bureau.
There will also be an opportunity to learn about the farmer-led Hillsdale County Tile Drainage Water Quality Monitoring Project taking place within the Western Lake Erie Basin. The purpose of the project is to:
- Develop a multi-year database covering different crop rotations, tillage practices, fertilizer and manure applications, etc. and

Anyone remember the Providence Journal's 'Face of Religion' page? A frequent contributor was Dale O' Leary, who liked to rant against feminists. Just before the Catholic church sex-abuse scandals broke, she began writing columns about forgiveness. After the first pedophilia stories came out, she claimed that enemies of the Church were gloating.
Well, I'm not an enemy of any church, except maybe Fred Phelps' band of lunatics. I can't work up a snark about the pedophilia stories either. It's sickening, and it's frightening. As a parent, it worries me that trust can be betrayed like that. As a parent, you have to be able to send your children into the world and trust that adults in authority will act honorably. When they don't, it's not only an occasion for outrage, but for grief.
I can't really get into it now, too heavy and sad.
But there is a Catholic scandal I can enjoy. I wish more priests had followed the example of Father Cutie. The popular priest made headlines when he was photographed kissing a pretty woman. Soon after he was outed, he married his girlfriend, who was 35 years old and single. Gloat, gloat.
Father Cutie said that he still defends priestly celibacy, but he thinks it should be optional.
This is a very humane and realistic view. Opinion writers are suggesting that celibacy is the reason for the troubles in the Catholic church.
I think that's simple-minded.
Celibacy is a valid life choice, and the Catholic church has institutions and traditions that allow celibate people to live in community. The Church is one of the few organizations that celebrates and honors the celibate life. Blaming celibacy wrongs the nuns, brothers and priest who serve their communities with dedication.
Most people, if they are honest, will have to admit that there were times in their lives when they were celibate. It's not something we like to talk about, it's worse to be on the shelf than in the closet.
It's this ex-Catholic's opinion that the sex-abuse scandals in the Church are an extreme manifestation of a culture of child-abuse. The Pope's brother, while denying knowledge of sex-offenders in his organization, apologized for slapping choir boys. A couple of years ago three denominations in Canada were implicated for decades of systematic child abuse– the Catholic church was the only one of them that refused to acknowledge wrongdoing. Physical punishment and humiliation of children was accepted in Catholic schools for decades after society had renounced these harsh methods. The indifference to children's vulnerability and fear allowed predators to hide in plain sight. They knew that no one was listening to the children. The Church today is paying for denial and cover-up long past any excuse. Victims of abuse pay a higher price than money.
Is celibacy the cause? Don't make me laugh. Abuse of power, a secretive hierarchy and a lack of honesty about human sexual feelings is where I would look first. The Church will scapegoat its homosexual priests and the World will blame celibacy.
I like the Unitarian church, where homosexual members and clergy are respected. Where celibacy is not disparaged and single people are not ignored in the rush to 'family values'.
The Catholic church could certainly ease its priest shortage by making celibacy optional and ordaining women. Or it could pay more attention to the ethics and mental health of its clergy and identify and remove abusers of all kinds. Or it can cling to its power and blame the world for being worldly.
I just want to defend the good people I know who really do practice a celibate life, with a love that extends to the community, and with passion. Celibacy is a valid choice, and celibate people should not be stained with a scandal that is rooted in abuse of power and fear of change.

Manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region advanced moderately in June after contracting at a less pronounced rate in May, according to the Richmond Fed's latest survey. All broad indicators — shipments, new orders and employment — landed in positive territory. Most other indicators showed similar notable improvement. District contacts reported that backlogs were down but just barely, whereas capital utilization improved from May readings. The gauge for delivery times was little changed and finished goods inventories continued to grow, though at a slightly slower rate.
Looking forward, assessments of business prospects for the next six months were generally in line with last month's expectations. Contacts anticipated continued growth in shipments, new orders, and capacity utilization in the months ahead while they anticipated backlogs would grow more slowly.
Survey participants indicated that both raw materials and finished goods prices grew at a somewhat quicker rate than a month ago. Respondents expected raw materials to grow at a somewhat quicker pace in the next six months than they had anticipated last month, while they expected finished goods prices to grow at a slightly slower rate than last month's outlook.
The seasonally adjusted composite index of manufacturing activity — our broadest measure of manufacturing — gained ten points in June to settle at 8. Among the index's components, shipments inched up three points to 11, the gauge for new orders jumped nineteen points to finish at 9, and the jobs index added seven points to end at 4.
Most other indicators also suggested stronger activity. The index for capacity utilization returned to positive territory, picking up seven points to settle at 1, and the index for backlogs of orders gained ten points to finish at −1. The delivery times index was nearly unchanged at 1, while gauges for inventories were mixed in June. The raw materials inventory index edged up two points to finish at 9, and the index for finished goods inventories moved down four points to end at 2.
Hiring activity at District plants increased in June. The manufacturing employment index moved up seven points to 4 and the average workweek indicator rose eighteen points to end at 12. Moreover, the wage index added six points to finish at 12.
In the current survey, contacts remained generally confident about their business prospects for the coming six months. The index of expected shipments edged up one point from the May reading, ending at 23, while the new orders index trimmed five points to also finish at 23. The index for backlogs fell ten points to a reading of 6, while the gauge for capacity utilization eased two points to 18. The indicator for vendor lead-time moved down six points to 2 and the index for planned capital expenditures was little changed at 10.
District manufacturers' hiring plans were also optimistic in June. The index for expected manufacturing employment moved up nine points to finish at a reading of 13, while the average workweek indicator held steady at 6. In addition, the index for expected wages gained five points to end the survey period at 27.
District manufacturers reported that raw materials prices increased at an average annual rate of 1.24 percent, slightly higher than May's reading of 1.00 percent. Finished goods prices rose at a 0.62 percent pace, up somewhat from May's reading of 0.24 percent.
Looking ahead six months, respondents expected the prices they pay to advance at a 2.06 percent pace, compared to May's outlook for 1.91 percent. Contacts looked for finished goods prices to increase at a 1.42 percent annual rate, slightly below last month's expectation for a 1.67 percent pace.

Let the record show that Jack McDowell called it eight weeks ago. On Aug. 5, the day after Nolan Ryan used Robin Ventura's head for a cow-punching demonstration, McDowell predicted an untimely end to Ryan's career.
"The whole world stops when that guy pitches, like he's a god or something," said McDowell. "He's been throwing at batters forever, and people are gutless to do anything about it.

Solutions Home | Products
GelTech Solutions continues to transition from a research and development operation to a revenue-generating, marketing and business enterprise. We've developed a variety of technologies that will have a positive impact on our world; and that in terms of science and engineering are significantly better than today's standard practices in a variety of fields.
Over the past 2 ½ years, the company developed and has begun executing a comprehensive strategy to bring these technologies to the marketplace, thereby addressing the issue of commercializing our technology. The result is a company more capable of building shareholder value.
The first step was intensifying our focus on a handful of our products that are market-ready. While we currently possess many additional innovative technologies, we are devoting our resources to the products we believe will deliver strong sales in the near future.
The purpose of this shareholder letter is to provide an update on where we are going as an organization. We certainly hope you are as excited as we are about the direction and potential of the company.
Our flagship product, FireIce® is a revolutionary, third-generation, eco-friendly firefighting chemical with an almost unbelievable range of capabilities. It has been extensively tested for years by Kinetrics Lab in Toronto, Con Edison in N.Y., by the U.S. Forest Service and several other labs and clients with impressive results. FireIce® is cost effective, non-toxic, non- corrosive, environmentally friendly, and can be used both as a suppressant and retardant. In addition, we have developed cost effective solutions to allow FireIce® to be deployed from most existing fire equipment, including: fire engines, hydrants, nozzles and pressurized water cans. FireIce® can be effectively used on:
- Wildland fires
- Class A / structure fires
- Electrical Fires in excess of 50Kv / 40KA
- Metal fires (including magnesium, titanium, calcium, potassium and lithium)
- Car and calcium battery fires
- Lithium Battery fires which to our knowledge is the only liquid-based product (therefore usable in fire extinguishers) that can extinguish these fires
- Tire fires
FireIce® is sold in a variety of blends and packaging designed to best suit our customers, including buckets for firefighting and small refill bottles designed for our FireIce® Fire Extinguisher. We also offer proprietary colorant blends that are used in airtankers for wildland fires.
FireIce Shield®
We modified our FireIce® product to formulate FireIce Shield®, a unique personal and asset protection gel that is easily applied and provides a lasting and protective layer on any medium to protect adjacent surfaces while soldering, welding and blazing. It can also reduce the risk of accidental charring, burning or igniting of flammable materials, and protects surrounding surfaces from heat transfer, sparks and flame while using torch or welding equipment. FireIce Shield® is offered in a variety of delivery systems, including spray bottles and several sizes of pressurized cylinders. These cylinders were specially designed for first responders and law enforcement, and there is no other solution on the market today like them.
After the initial success of FireIce Shield®, GelTech researchers developed FireIce Shield® CTP, which is specifically designed for use when cutting and welding repairs are being made on communication towers. FireIce Shield® CTP protects surfaces and cables from heat transfer, sparks and flame from the welder's torch. It also contains an advanced, colorized formulation specifically designed for better adhesion to slippery cables and tower components.
The Soil2O® Suite – For Agriculture, Mining and Construction
Soil2O® Dust Control is an eco-friendly polymer that works by penetrating the soil profile to trap and retain water, slowing evaporation into the atmosphere and percolation into the ground. It is easily applied using conventional water trucks, without leaving any odors or residues, and does not contain caustic or corrosive chemicals found in most dust control products. Soil2O® Dust Control applications can be driven on by heavy construction and track equipment, unique among dust-control solutions. It is budget-friendly, easy to use, and supports all PM10 EPA particulate matter requirements. Soil2O® Dust Control can effectively cut the amount of water required for dust control on roads, mining facilities, construction sites, farms and more. This saves customer's money by reducing fuel expense, labor and equipment maintenance.
Soil2O® Soil Cap was developed for situations where a one-time dust control application is required. Soil Cap is an environmentally friendly liquid polymer that forms a crust on the surface, preventing wind-blown dust and soil erosion. Soil Cap technology penetrates and bonds with soil, creating a durable and waterproof shell. Applications for Soil Cap include securing dust on large tracts of land, dirt pile stabilization, mining, erosion control. It is very easy to apply using standard water truck equipment, and leaves no harmful residue on equipment.
Soil2O® Topical is a unique, cross-linked co-polymer specifically developed for water retention for plants and crops. Soil2O® Topical acts like millions of tiny, eco-friendly sponges. These micro-sponges hold up to 400 times their weight in water and release 95% of that water back to the root zone of the plant or soil upon plant demand. Use of Soil2O® cuts the amount of water needed and reduces irrigation by up to 50%. It's safe for pets, kids and the environment.
Soil2O® Granular. Completing the Soil2O® suite of products is Soil2O® Granular, a complementary product to our Topical as it is used in pre-planting applications. Granular was designed to last a long time, with an effective period of five years. When used, Granular retains both water and nutrients at the root level, allowing the plant to thrive and grow with less irrigation.
Our GT-W14 products are industrial-grade polymer absorbents designed for use in environments where oils and solvents are used. It has the ability to absorb and encapsulate a wide array of fluids quickly and with significantly less volumes than virtually any other absorbent. This is especially important for disposal, as it picks up oils, acids and many other fluids with no adverse reactions. It also makes many accelerants less flammable by significantly reducing the emitted vapors. When added to many fluids, GT-W14 makes them less dangerous on the hazard scale and neutralizes the pH of several acids and bases with no adverse chemical reactions, which is a significant benefit for our customers.
To market these products, we arranged our business into four distinct divisions based largely on the consumers which our product lines serve:
- Wildland Fire for both aerial and ground operations
- Agriculture, Mining, and Construction
- Utilities & Industrial
- Municipal Fire
Each of these segments can benefit greatly from our products, and we believe that these markets are sizable enough for our fire-suppressant products to justify our attention.
Wildland Fire
2015 was a year of impressive growth for our Wildland Fire division, with a number of state and federal agencies evaluating and adopting FireIce® into their wildland fire programs. The Wildland Fire team worked closely with these agencies during the implementation period, providing training and assistance to ensure the success of the programs. During the 2015 fire season, eight major agencies evaluated or implemented FireIce® into their airtanker programs, and we estimate that nearly 500 missions were flown. There were an additional five agencies that evaluated or implemented the product into ground engine programs.
Penetration into the wildland fire market has been a difficult road, as it is an industry with high barriers of entry and long lead times. However, the FireIce® solution has proven to deliver agencies an eco-friendly product with the benefits of superior performance, cost effectiveness and enhanced safety.
In addition to the customer agencies we are working with, there are a number of new agencies that are planning evaluation programs over the next one to two years. Market adoption has significantly helped the sales team acquire new agency customers, and several agencies have published positive reports on their evaluations. Lead times for developing these sales have been long, anywhere from one to three years, but with increasing market adoption, we expect that time-line to continually shrink. Securing long term contracts with state and federal agencies is extremely important to the long-term growth plan of the company as they provide recurring revenue.
Agriculture, Mining, and Construction
We believe these industries have needs that our full range of products can address. Fires pose obvious threats in mining and construction, and can be devastating to agricultural stockpiles. Agriculture will benefit greatly from our Soil2O® suite of products, and the Soil2O® Dust Control and Soil Cap products have clearly defined uses in mining and construction. Finally, GT-W14 can help clean up even the dirtiest messes, and these are the industries that can create them.
Utilities & Industrial
When it comes to utilities, our focus is on fire suppression using FireIce®, especially for those types of fires that are unique to that industry. Currently, five utilities use GelTech products in three different cities to deal with manhole fires and fire events that can have serious implications for electrical services such as transformer and substation fires. Two more utilities are using our products in above ground situations, one of these operates in seven different states. We have completed pilot projects in New York and Boston.
For suppressing manhole fires, we created the Emergency Manhole FireIce® Distribution System. When a manhole fire occurs, the temperatures are so great, a couple thousands degrees, that the ladders the workers could use to escape actually melt. The EMFIDS is designed to coat the ladder and worker with our FireIce® retardant, preventing the ladder from melting and adding precious minutes to allow utility personnel to reach safety while protecting them from severe burns.
Cell phone towers and/or expensive cables, surprisingly, catch fire with some frequency. We are currently working with one client that has approximately 60,000 towers, and there are over 250,000 towers in the U.S. alone. They cost on average $150,000 to rebuild, if a permit can even be obtained, and can be leased for about $45,000 a year. In other words, a burning tower costs money. Using FireIce Shield® CTP to protect the towers during maintenance greatly reduces the risk of fire.
Municipal Fire
Lastly, we have our municipal division. Having the opportunity to place our products where fire is a potential hazard, including schools and other public buildings, police and fire departments, hospitals, construction zones, and other places, is an immense growth opportunity for this segment. Unlike the utilities and cell phone tower industries, however, this market is highly fragmented: there are few utilities and cell phone tower companies, but approximately 28,000 municipalities in the U.S. We believe this market will be worth developing, but that development will take time.
To accelerate the sales process to the greatest degree possible, we granted an exclusive distribution agreement in September to FireIce® Solutions headquartered in Alton, NH. FireIce Solutions was formed to distribute FireIce® to first responders and other rescue personnel as a safe, non-toxic, more effective alternative to conventional firefighting methods. FireIce Solutions is the exclusive authorized distributor of FireIce® to fire departments, police departments, emergency medical services and other first responders throughout the United States. They have significant minimum requirements to keep that exclusivity.
Those are our products and our sales divisions, and that brings us to the recent activities related to running the company.
Since July 2015, I have provided GelTech with approximately $1.7 million in new convertible debt funding, which demonstrates my commitment to the success of the company. That has been supplemented by a $10 million stock purchase agreement made in August with Lincoln Park Capital Fund. Thus far, we have received approximately $200,000 of that total.
Finally, in October, our stock trading moved to the OTCQB, and we retained the investor relations firm of Porter, LeVay and Rose to advise us on investor communications. We remain committed towards strong transparency and growing relationships with an expanded shareholder base.
GelTech has transformed itself from a research operation to a commercial enterprise in the last several months. There is a lot still to do, and we are excited about our potential. We know it will take a great deal of effort to realize that potential in full, but the promise of what our technologies can do inspire us to do what it takes to bring them to market.
All of this stems from the support and faith you as a shareholder have placed in our researchers, our managers and our salespeople. For that, we are extremely thankful.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
You remember that I promised to tell you about the religion of the Muslims and about their prophet Muhammad. It is a most interesting story. Muhammad was born in A.D. 570, in the city of Mecca in Arabia. Most of the people of Arabia at that time worshiped idols, and there was a famous idol temple in Mecca. They knew that there was a great God, whom they called Allah, but few of the Arabians worshiped him. When Muhammad was a young man, he met some Jews and Christians who did not worship idols but were worshipers of the unseen God. Then, when he was forty years of age, he thought he saw an angel who told him that Allah had appointed him to be a prophet and that he must tell the people to worship only Allah, not idols. So Muhammad began to preach. He told the Arabs that one day Allah would raise all the dead people to life. He would take all who had worshiped him and done good deeds to heaven, and he would send those who did not worship him to hell.
A few people believed in Muhammad, but most of the people of Mecca would not listen to him. However, he continued to preach for thirteen years in Mecca. Finally, there was so much opposition to him and his preaching against the idols that Muhammad and his followers left Mecca in A.D. 622.They went to Medina, another city in Arabia, about two hundred miles north of Mecca. There the people received Muhammad and made him their chief, and many believed him to be the prophet of Allah. Before long he began to fight with his enemies in Mecca, and he defeated them. At last he was able to capture their city. When he entered Mecca without a battle, he threw out the idols from the idol temple and made it the center of the religion of Islam.
After that, most of the people of Arabia quickly submitted to Muhammad, and he became their political and their religious ruler. His followers were called Muslims, because in the Arabic language the word muslim means one who submits, and they had submitted to Muhammad and to Allah,who they believed had sent Muhammad. After the death of Muhammad in A.D. 632, the Muslim armies soon conquered most of the nearby countries. Later this religion spread westward to Spain, eastward to India, and southward to Africa.
Now let me tell you what the Muslims believe. They believe that God,whom they call Allah,is the one true God who made all things and who has all knowledge and power. He made man to obey and serve him; and when people disobeyed, he sent prophets to tell them what to do and what not to do. Muslims think that there were many prophets,perhaps 124,000 of them, but they do not know the names of most of them. They say that there were five very great prophets:Noah,Abraham,Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. They believe that Muhammad is the last and the greatest of Gods prophets. They think that God gave books to each of the great prophets, as well as to some other prophets. They call the book that they say was given to Jesus Injil. They believe that God sent messages in the Arabic language to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. Muhammad told the people these messages, which were written down by those who heard them. Later they were collected in a book called the Koran. Muslims believe that the Koran is the very Word of God and that it should be read in the Arabic language.
What do Muslims know about Jesus Christ? The Koran says that Jesus was a very great prophet, born of the Virgin Mary, but that he was not the Son of God. It also says that Jesus performed wonderful miracles, that he healed the sick people and even raised the dead to life. But it says that he did not die on the cross, for God performed a miracle to save Jesus from death. They say that God changed one of Jesus enemies to look like Jesus and that this man was crucified in place of Jesus. Then,they say, God took Jesus to heaven, where he is now. They believe that Jesus is alive and that he will come to earth again and will punish all who do not accept Muhammad. So you see that though Muslims think highly of our Savior Jesus Christ, they do not really know him. They do not know that he is the Son of God and that he loved us so much that he died on the cross to save us from sin and that he rose from the grave alive. They wrongly think that Muhammad took the place of Jesus. They say that people no longer need Jesus and his teachingsall must now submit to Muhammad and the Koran.
Muslims believe that there will be a day of resurrection,when God will raise all the dead people to life, judge them, and send some of them to heaven and some to hell. If people want to get to heaven, they must do certain things. First, they must say the creed of Islam, which is There is no god except Allah; Muhammad is Allahs Messenger.Then they must worship Allah every day. To do this, they must put some water on their hands and feet, stand facing the city of Mecca, and recite some Arabic sentences. As they do this, they must bow, kneel, touch their foreheads to the ground, rise again, and repeat this ritual several times.This must be done early in the morning,at noon, and in the evening. Many Muslims perform these acts of worship five times each day.
Muslims must also keep the fast of Ramadan. From the time when they first see the new moon in the Muslim month of Ramadan to the next new moon,about twenty-nine days,they are not permitted to eat any food or taste any drink from daylight in the morning till after sunset at night. But all during the night they are allowed to eat and drink. It is hard for working people to keep the fast, especially in hot weather. Muslims also must give money to poor people. Some give pennies to beggars, and others sometimes give large sums for hospitals or schools.
Once in his life, every Muslim who has the money should make the pilgrimage to Mecca. Those who do this gain the title of Hajji. Many people in Iran who cant go all the way to Mecca make pilgrimages to Meshed or other cities in which the tombs of descendants of Muhammad are located. Since the followers of the religion of Islam do not have a savior, they hope that by making pilgrimages and doing the other things I have told you about they may please God and get him to forgive their sins and take them to heaven when they die. But they are never sure whether they will go to heaven or to hell when they die.
Many of the Muslim people in Iran were very kind to me. I love them, and I long for them to know and love the Savior Jesus Christ, who died to save them.While I was in Iran, I was happy to know devoted Christians who had been Muslims. The stories of some of these Christians have been told in Ten Muslims Meet Christ. But in this little book I want to tell my grandchildren, and other children who love Jesus, some stories about other people in Iran and about interesting experiences I had there. In several stories the names I give to my Iranian friends are not their real names.
Remember that I first went to Iran many years ago, and the conditions in that country as described in some of my stories were then very different from what they are now. Today fine highways have been built, and one can travel all over Iran by bus, train, or plane. Iran has become one of the great oil-producing countries of the world. In the big cities there are supermarkets and huge apartment buildings. The government has established schools and colleges and hospitals and factories, and many people own cars and radios and televisions. In material things, Iran has made amazing progress since I arrived in that land in 1919. But, sad to say, most of the people do not yet know the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
