Karl III Philip, Elector Palatine (1661-1742)
The period of his rule was one of oppression for the Mennonites. Because of their religious separatism they were made to endure much hardship. Even the confirmation of their civic privileges, which the Mennonites asked for in 1717, was granted only after much trouble. Karl Philip finally ordered that they should be tolerated as before, without, however, being permitted to have public church buildings. For the confirmation of this concession the court council demanded payment of 1,500 florins, as Philipp Wilhelm had allegedly required in 1686 upon assuming the government. Although this assumption was proved an error, the government years later, in 1730, when the coffers were empty, insisted that the Mennonites pay the sum. Great hardship came to the Mennonites by the application of the right of redemption against them. This law permitted a Catholic, Lutheran, or Calvinist to "redeem" any piece of land from an Anabaptist (as Mennonites then were contemptuously called) just by paying to him the purchase price without regard to the previous legal purchase of this property or any improvement in value since the original purchase. One particularly serious case happened in 1726 (with a certain Landes as victim). It was only after a long struggle that in 1737 this law was limited to three years, after which period no foreign "redemption" was any longer allowed.
Early in 1740 a new blow fell upon the Mennonites in the increase of the protection fee from 6 florins to 12 per person; the government took this step because of an alleged increase in the number of Mennonites. In spite of repeated petitions and the intervention of the noble owners of the land on their behalf, the Mennonites had to pay this amount until Karl Theodore became elector. A number of letters written to Amsterdam by Hans Burckholder and other Mennonite leaders in the Palatinate and now found in the Mennonite Archives of Amsterdam give detailed information about these difficulties.
Karl III Philip died 31 December 1742 and with his death the Palatinate-Neuburg line became extinct. He was succeeded as Elector Palatine by Karl IV Theodor (1724-1799).

Of course it is not only the Lazyboy that boasts of recliner functionality as there are plenty of other recliner chairs that offer the perfect way to relax at home. Reclining chairs can cost a bit more than regular chair types, though their flexibility means they are worth the extra investment. Some office chairs serve only to make office guests and customers comfortable. But then again, there are also office chairs that are designed and built for those who sit on their desks for the most part of the day and should be very comfortable and user-friendly.
And then there are mid century side chair to relax on, like your white side chair, eames side chair, tufted side chair or a leather wingback chair. These are slightly more expensive and are optional, but if you have the budget for it you can go ahead and invest in one. They are growing in popularity in homes nowadays due to the growing affluence of the population, and some designs can cost upwards of a few thousand. They can be found in any room of your house. When buying a target slipper chair for your home, it is always important to set aside a fixed budget for your purchase. You also need to know what type of chair you would require, and for what purpose. Explode different options, like evenflo convertible high chair or chair and a half recliner, depending on your requirements. Before making your purchase, always ask some important questions, like whether your ethan allen wingback chair has a warranty, whether your purchase comes with free shipping and assembling, and how to maintain your arm chair set in tip-top condition.

Hot grill, gas fumes, blamed for Bretton Woods fireBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2013 2:24PM
BRETTON WOODS - A three-unit condominium building was heavily damaged Monday night in a blaze that began on a deck when heat from a gas grill ignited fumes from a gas can next to it, according to a fire official.
Twin Mountain Fire Lt. Pat Bailey said the fire was reported just before 8:30 p.m. on Hartford Lane at the Mount Washington Place Condominiums.
When firefighters arrived, flames had traveled from the rear deck of the middle unit up the exterior of the building to the roof. It took about 35 firefighters from Twin Mountain and surrounding communities about 2 1/2 hours to extinguish the flames.
Bailey said an investigator from the state Fire Marshal's Office was on scene. He said fire officials believe the homeowner was using the propane grill on his rear deck when the heat being generated ignited fumes from a can of gasoline that was next to it.
The homeowner tried to pick up the gas can, but dropped it, spilling gasoline which set the deck on fire, according to Bailey. He did not have the name of the homeowner, who called in the fire.
Other residents also called 911 after hearing an explosion, which fire officials believe was the propane tank for the grill.
The middle unit of the 2 1/2-story building was heavily damaged by the fire, while the other two units were damaged by smoke and water, Bailey said.
The unit on fire was the only one occupied at the time. No one was reported injured.

Vulnerability refers to the inability (of a system or a unit) to withstand the effects of a hostile environment. A window of vulnerability (WoV) is a time frame within which defensive measures are diminished, compromised or lacking.[citation needed]
Common applications
In relation to hazards and disasters, vulnerability is a concept that links the relationship that people have with their environment to social forces and institutions and the cultural values that sustain and contest them. "The concept of vulnerability expresses the multi-dimensionality of disasters by focusing attention on the totality of relationships in a given social situation which constitute a condition that, in combination with environmental forces, produces a disaster".[1]
It's also the extent to which changes could harm a system, or to which the community can be affected by the impact of a hazard or exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally: "we were in a vulnerable position".
Within the body of literature related to vulnerability, major research streams include questions of methodology, such as: measuring and assessing vulnerability, including finding appropriate indicators for various aspects of vulnerability, up- and down scaling methods, and participatory methods.[2][clarification needed] Vulnerability research covers a complex, multidisciplinary field including development and poverty studies, public health, climate studies, security studies, engineering, geography, political ecology, and disaster risk management. This research is of importance and interest for organizations trying to reduce vulnerability – especially as related to poverty and other Millennium Development Goals. Many institutions are conducting interdisciplinary research on vulnerability. A forum that brings many of the current researchers on vulnerability together is the Expert Working Group (EWG). Researchers are currently working to refine definitions of "vulnerability", measurement and assessment methods, and effective communication of research to decision makers.[3][4]
In its sense, social vulnerability is one dimension of vulnerability to multiple stressors (agent responsible for stress) and shocks, including abuse, social exclusion and natural hazards. Social vulnerability refers to the inability of people, organizations, and societies to withstand adverse impacts from multiple stressors to which they are exposed. These impacts are due in part to characteristics inherent in social interactions, institutions, and systems of cultural values.[5][6]
A cognitive vulnerability, in cognitive psychology, is an erroneous belief, cognitive bias, or pattern of thought that is believed to predispose the individual to psychological problems.[7] It is in place before the symptoms of psychological disorders start to appear; after the individual encounters a stressful experience, the cognitive vulnerability shapes a maladaptive response that may lead to a psychological disorder.[7] In psychopathology, cognitive vulnerability is constructed from schema models, hopelessness models, and attachment theory.[8] Attentional bias is one mechanism leading to faulty cognitive bias that leads to cognitive vulnerability. Allocating a danger level to a threat depends on the urgency or intensity of the threshold. Anxiety is not associated with selective orientation.[9]
In military terminology, vulnerability is a subset of survivability, the others being susceptibility and recoverability. Vulnerability is defined in various ways depending on the nation and service arm concerned, but in general it refers to the near-instantaneous effects of a weapon attack. In aviation it is defined as the inability of an aircraft to withstand the damage caused by the man-made hostile environment.[10] In some definitions, recoverability (damage control, firefighting, restoration of capability) is included in vulnerability. Some military services develop their own concept of vulnerability.[11]
Invulnerability is a common feature found in video games. It makes the player impervious to pain, damage or loss of health. It can be found in the form of "power-ups" or cheats; when activated via cheats, it is often referred to as "god mode". Generally, it does not protect the player from certain instant-death hazards, most notably "bottomless" pits from which, even if the player were to survive the fall, they would be unable to escape. As a rule, invulnerability granted by power-ups is temporary, and wears off after a set amount of time, while invulnerability cheats, once activated, remain in effect until deactivated, or the end of the level is reached. Depending on the game in question, invulnerability to damage may or may not protect the player from non-damage effects, such as being immobilized or sent flying.
In comic books, some superheroes are considered invulnerable, though this usually only applies up to a certain level. (e.g. Superman is invulnerable to physical attacks from normal people but not to the extremely powerful attacks of Doomsday).
In mythology talismans charms and amulets were created by magic users for the purpose of making the wearer immune to injury from both mystic and mundane weapons.[12]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two University of Maryland students died early on Tuesday in an apparent murder-suicide shooting, and a third was wounded in the incident, police said.
The shooting began shortly after the gunman set a fire around 1 a.m. in the basement of his house near the campus in College Park. When his two roommates came to see what was happening, he shot them in front of the house, a spokeswoman for the Prince George's County police said.
The gunman then went to the back of the home and killed himself. One roommate was pronounced dead at a hospital and the second suffered wounds that are not life-threatening, the spokeswoman said.
The ages and identities of the students were not released. The incident is under investigation, the spokeswoman said.
Police declined to identify what type of gun was used.
University President Wallace Loh said in a statement: "We are all shocked and saddened by this morning's tragic events. We extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to the families and friends of the victims."

His design sensibility, which merges high and low cultural references, is perhaps best exemplified by pieces such as Bang (2014), a table whose support structure is a yellow-colored series of letters spelling out the work's title.

forever in sadness
my heart is saddened by the news of your passing, we both knew that this day was coming, but i was hoping for a little more time. you were the first to welcome me to this site, we traded pm's and e-mails for a couple of years and today i am happy i kept the voice e-mails you sent me, they are now priceless to me and if it is okay with you i would like to forward them to your big sister Lily H. i am sure she would like to hear them just as much as i do, your laugh is so contagious that i never get tired of listening to them, i am only sorry i never sent you one. till we meet again and compete face to face, i am forever in sadness, forever in darkness, forever your johnny, - jose
Dios te salve María, llena eres de gracia.
Nuestro Señor es contigo.
Bendita tú eres entre las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre,
Santa María, Madre de Dios,
ruega por nosotros pecadores,
ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte.
my tribute to Pootie
I, too, am saddened to have to say good-bye to our friend, Pootie aka Donna. She was the first one ever to respond to my plea for help when I was new to the website. In July of 2012, I was improving my skills and was able to stay right behind Pootie in the "success rate" monthly challenge. She hit the 2000th solve (100% accuracy) on July 24, and I was in the high 1900's, staying in the shadow of my role model. In the chat room, there had been some mention of her not feeling well, and then suddenly she stopped adding to her points. She stopped at 2000. Since there was still a week left in the month, I would have surpassed her score had I simply kept playing, but I stopped at 1999. There was something much more important than competition here, and it was the spirit of cooperation that Pootie herself had always shown. I felt honored simply to come in next to her, and I treasure her response to the message I sent her.

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad
"Here she comes!"

I didn't know Pootie all that well, but certainly recognize her as a highly respected friend to this site. My sympathies to her family and all of her dear friends. - Chad
what a lovely poem, barnabas--i hadn't heard it before, but will certainly save it.
isn't it awesome to see how many of us she touched so positively, in just this one area of her life?
lily h, can you share these with her sister? family members often have no idea about things like this, and would probably enjoy knowing about another group who thought so much of donna.
I never noticed this yesterday, I'm so sorry.
I am so very sorry to read that Donna is gone, but I'm happy that she isn't suffering anymore. To Lily and all of those of you who were close friends I'm very sorry for your loss.
She was a very special person. A long time ago, I told her she was my hero, and she truly was. She had was so brave, and handled her illness so well.
Pootie, ad infinitum
My story with Donna is much like everyone's; first to greet newcomers, birthday greetings, and such. One weekend When my wife was out of town and I was trying not too successfully to stave off lonliness, I serendipitously ran across a most apropos comment she left on a puzzle. I sent her private message about it which I will share in its entirety.
I just solved a quote from Charles Dickens about having someone to sit with when I read the following comment from you.
"I agree. Someone to sit on a bench in the garden with after a long day, and just watch the sun set and talk about your day, your dreams, your hopes. then he takes your hand and says lets go inside its late and you stand up and hold each other and think yes this is how it should be. my friend, my lover, my confessor, my hope and my future. an equal. whom you look at and without a doubt in your mind think, i love this man and he loves me...what else do we really need? that complete feeling of belonging."
As I sit here writing this, my wife is out of town visiting a friend and I miss her company. I feel exactly the same way as you so eloquently expressed. I have lived more than half my life with her and nothing has been more enjoyable (outside of raising two wonderful kids) than the simple pleasure of her companionship.
Thank you for writing this.
This is the Pootie I will always remember. In keeping with Barnabas' wonderful nautical tribute:
Donna, wherever you are, may the sun always be on your face and the wind at your back.
Farewell, Friend.
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~ Albert Einstein
Impersonally personal
As a fairly new member to the site it is heartwarming to hear personal comments made about an online friend. I have noticed pootie while playing and I am sad I did not get the chance to know the person behind the user name. This site is truly a community of real people even though they cannot be seen or touched.
Iam very sad of the passing of one our members. She is no longer with us but she is in a much better place and she won't be struggling with this world her pain is gone.God bless her family in this time of pain. God needed a beautiful angel to join our friends and relatives that have left us.
I am one of the many welcomed by Pootie. Besides guiding me in solving cryptograms, she asked caring questions, answered mine, and made me laugh. She was unfailingly kind to me.
Tu m'as tendu la main. Merci, Donna. Je ne te dis pas adieu mais au revoir.

Donna's sister has been reading your comments. She wanted me to thank all of you for sharing your stories about your experiences with Donna. She was overwhelmed by the love and respect that all of us had for Donna. She is grieving now, but she may come and thank you personally some time in the future.

E-cigarettes find a market in NHBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 27. 2014 8:24PM
New Hampshire was one of the first states to restrict sales of electronic cigarettes, prohibiting minors from purchasing the devices in 2010.
No longer just a niche market, the sale of e-cigarettes is a booming business that has eluded much further regulation because health experts are still studying the potential risks and possible merits.
"We don't have enough data. There just hasn't been enough studies done to say," said Dr. Albee Budnitz, chairman of Tobacco Free New Hampshire and a member of the board of directors for Breathe New Hampshire.
Advocates call Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, or ENDS, a viable method to quit smoking. Opponents note nicotine is addictive whether it is inhaled through smoke or comes in a battery-powered blast of vapor at the push of a button.
And many are concerned about rapid growth of the industry and availability of the products, now a common sight in convenience stores.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed in April to define e-cigarettes as a tobacco product, allowing the FDA to regulate it like cigarettes (the old-fashioned kind that don't run on batteries) and smokeless tobacco.
The proposal is currently in a public comment phase that runs through Aug. 8.
The liquid nicotine comes in a wide range of flavors such as bubble gum and chocolate, which opponents say is a clear attempt to attract minors.
"It's here and it's another fight we have," Budnitz said. "I don't like to do fights without data and we just don't have enough ... it's one of those double-edged swords. It might be helpful for some but might be hurtful to others."
Budnitz expects the debate and regulatory process to go much like the battle against cigarette smoking, once socially acceptable in public. Television advertising for traditional cigarettes was banned decades ago. But e-cigarettes don't fall under the same regulations; ads with popular actors market the alternative ENDS.
This is a concern to state Sen. Peggy Gilmour, D-Hollis, a sponsor of the 2010 bill that became a state law prohibiting the sales of e-cigarettes and liquid tobacco to minors.
"The marketing effort is often to young people," Gilmour said Sunday.
Gilmour, a nurse, said she was disturbed to see an e-cigarette kiosk in the middle of a mall, where teens strolled by routinely hearing a message of an alternative to tobacco.
Gilmour knows that teens who want to smoke will find a way, but reducing access is at least a deterrent, she said.
"We're naive if we think it's going to stop it altogether, but I do think it makes it more difficult and it sends a message," Gilmour said.
Mike Johnson, who has run Holy Smokes cigar shop on South Willow Street in Manchester for 10 years, said he has no doubt regulation is coming once the government catches up to a product that's been on the market for years; he started selling electronic cigarettes last fall.
"We kind of timed it right. Technology changes with this every three weeks," Johnson said.
"I understand why they want to regulate it, but at the same time I know what the government is going to do — they're going to step in and do what they always do and (mess) things up," he said.
Holy Smokes started selling e-cigarettes and "juice" last September. Johnson said he started with a handful of flavors and now has about 90.
Johnson said he doesn't market to minors and they know better than to try and purchase anything at his shop. He said his customer base ranges from people in their 30s to 80s, many looking for a way to kick their smoking habit.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Assistant softball coach Travis McCall has been an integral part of King University's transition into NCAA Division II and Conference Carolinas. Earlier this week, it was announced that he will become the next head coach at Coker College in Hartsville, S.C.
"I'm very thankful to have had the chance to be a part of the King family the past three years," McCall stated. "I've had a chance to work with some amazing people during my time here and will definitely miss those individuals."
In his three seasons at King, McCall helped the Tornado win the Conference Carolinas Tournament title in their first year in the league, earning the school's first-ever NCAA Softball Tournament bid in their second year of eligibility. That season of 2012 saw the Tornado rack up a school-record 34 wins en route to the tournament championship.
"Travis McCall has been a huge asset to both myself and this University," head softball coach Jenn Testa said. "His work with the softball program for the past three seasons speaks for itself. He has been an instrumental part to our success on and off the field and I have no doubts that he is ready for this new chapter in his life. Coker has definitely chosen the right person to lead their program and I look forward to watching him do great things as a head coach."
King built off the momentum gained with the tournament championship as they cruised through the Conference Carolinas regular season with a league mark of 17-3 to earn their first Conference Carolinas regular season championship by three games in 2013. However, the Tornado came up short in the conference tournament, finishing third.
"Travis has done a tremendous job as our assistant coach and made significant contributions to our program the past three seasons," athletic director David Hicks said. "He has been an integral part of a program that has won a Conference Carolinas regular season championship, a tournament championship and runner-up finishes in the past three seasons. He has the skills and experience to be an outstanding head coach, and I have no doubts he will be successful at Coker."
This past season, McCall helped lead the Tornado to a runner-up finish in the regular season before finishing second in the Conference Carolinas Tournament. King finished the season with an overall record of 29-26 while going 11-5 in conference play.
"I would like to thank David Hicks for giving me a chance to be a part of a great athletic department," McCall continued. "I'd also like to thank Jennifer Testa for giving me the opportunity to grow as a coach and help build this program over the last three seasons."
In his three years at King, McCall helped coach 14 all-conference performers, 10 of which were named to the All-Conference Carolinas first team. Under his tutelage, pitcher Hannah Light was twice named Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year, and second team Daktronics All-Southeast Region.
