'It's a golf club that really stirs the soul'
CORNWALL, England (Jan. 19, 2019) – The St. Enodoc Golf Club, located across the Camel Estuary in Rock, Cornwall, has all the characteristics of a classic links course – firm, consistent greens; undulating fairways; tight, uneven fairway lies; tough bunkers; a few blind shots; and many memorable and priceless seaside views. The course sits alongside the juncture of the River Camel estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.
It doesn't take long to get your first glimpse of the Camel Estuary. As you approach the first green, you will see it and it's a view that you will continue to see throughout your round at St. Enodoc. It doesn't get old.
At St. Enodoc, there are two courses: the Church course designed by James Braid which opened in 1890 and the Holywell course, a shorter course which provides a typical links terrain with less daunting shots.
The Church course gets its name from the 11th Century St. Enodoc Church – an old Norman Church — which sits in the middle of the course alongside the 11th fairway.
One of the biggest compliments that can be bestowed on St. Enodoc is that a few Open champions have come to play golf here. That list includes Braid, Henry Cotton, Jim Barnes and Tom Watson.
"It (the Church course) is a wonderful golf course," says Watson. "It has lots of variety and beautiful views everywhere you look. It's a great place to play golf."
Watson is not alone in his praise for St. Enodoc, which celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2015.
"It's got the wow factor," notes Simon Greatorex, general manager, St. Enodoc Golf Club. "It's a golf club that really stirs the soul."
Kudos to Braid whose design of St. Enodoc remains relevant to this day.
One of Braid's most famous design features is the Himalaya bunker on the 6th hole. It is reputedly the tallest sand bunker in Europe. Avoid that hazard at all costs!
It's worth noting that St. Enodoc has made a big investment in its second course, The Holywell, where tees have been upgraded, bunkers have been manicured and the overall presentation of the course has been improved to a level enjoyed on the main Church Course.
The Holywell now gives all golfers a genuine alternative to the demanding 6,547-yard championship links. The Holywell is now a great alternative choice for juniors, seniors and higher handicappers who want an enjoyable round over a shorter, well-maintained layout.
The clubhouse at St. Enodoc has also been recently refurbished in a modern, New England style. The clubhouse now boasts a bright, airy lounge area, restaurant and bar with a picture window overlooking the 18th green. The clubhouse also has an elegant terrace which is perfect for al fresco dining in the summer.
"He (Braid) put a great golf course in a limited space," notes Scott Gibson, head greenkeeper at St. Enodoc.
When you reach the 18th tee of the Church Course, pause and admire the view before striking your tee shot. Without a doubt, Braid saved the best view at St. Enodoc for last. Some golfers simply refer to that view as "unbelievable."
And, the golf media agree with the appeal of St. Enodoc as Golf Digest ranks the course as the 99th best in the world; Golf Journal lists St. Enodoc as the 51st best course in Europe; and National Club Golfer declares that St. Enodoc is the 17th best golf course in Great Britain & Ireland. Those rankings would put a smile on the face of the late, great Braid, who won five Open Championships in the early 1900s.
If St. Enodoc is alluring to past Open champions like Braid, Cotton, Barnes and Watson, it certainly should be for you.

Portsmouth Town Hall is located at 2200 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871.
Phone: 401‑683‑3255.
Newport as described in 1937 [1]
Portsmouth was founded in 1638 by 19 colonists from Massachusetts Bay Colony under the leadership of John Clarke and William Coddington. It was probably named for Portsmouth in the county of Hampshire, England. The first settlement was made that year at the north end of the island, near what is now called Founder's Brook. Here a body politic was formed on democratic principles in which no one was to be "accounted delinquent for doctrine." Meetings of the settlement were held whenever occasion demanded, which in the early days was frequent. The colony flourished and soon received a larger group of settlers from Massachusetts, who came with Anne Hutchinson.
In May of 1639, William Coddington, Nicholas Easton, John Clarke and 8 others moved to Newport and carried with them the Pocasset (Portsmouth) records to that date, which explains why the history of Newport begins with the settlement of Pocasset. After this group left, a new political organization was formed by the 31 remaining colonists.
The earliest activities of Portsmouth were farming and shipbuilding, but the fisheries of the adjoining waters have for some time constituted an important source of revenue to many inhabitants. The coal field in the western part of the township has produced a combustible coal and at one time a large business was carried on. Coal mining was introduced here about 1800, but the product required special apparatus and powerful blast to burn it, and it was little used except in smelting furnaces; the mines were abandoned in 1911. The town in recent years has witness and considerable increase in the number of summer homes as well as permanent residents of people who work in nearby cities.

If you're developing an international marketing strategy, there will come a time when you'll have to decide how are you going to address branding decisions for your product or service.
A brand is a very powerful tool to connect with your customers but it is also an investment that requires creating the right connotations and associations between your product and its audience.
This is already challenging enough when it comes to your domestic market, but it can become even more difficult when addressing international markets.
The simplest and most effective way to address this very complex decision process is to explore the benefits and limitations of each option. And that's exactly what we're going to do.
With no further ado, let's get started.
No Brand
The first decision to make is whether your product\service requires a brand. In general terms, most products are branded but in some cases, a brand is superfluous.
Commodities or simple inputs of production are not branded because they are indistinguishable. If you're exporting or distributing raw materials, for instance, you will not be required to create a brand.
In general terms, however, in many cases, producers do try to create something which is unique or recognizable, so that they can at least evaluate one of the three most common branding options for a product.
We're going to discuss them in the next section of our post.
Branded Product
When it comes to a branded product, there are three ways to go. Let's see each individually.
Private Label
A private label is a distributor's brand. A manufacturer strikes a deal with its retail partners allowing the distributor to use their own brand on someone else's product.
This option is beneficial for both parties.
A manufacturer can avoid any additional "go-to-market" expenses, but it needs to also make sure that the private label product will not cannibalize its own market share. In some cases, however, a manufacturer may not have options and can accept a private label as a way to access shelf space.
On the other hand, the distributor can use private labels to strengthen its own image, and because of the added value provided by the brand, it can retain a good profit margin.
Ingredient Branding
In ingredient branding what is happening is that a manufacturer wants to communicate its point of difference by displaying a specific component or element of the product which is a strong indicator of quality.
A simple example may be provided by Intel processors in computers. As a processor is the most important piece of hardware of the computer, displaying the brand of a high-quality manufacturer can play an important factor in persuading your customer. That why on personal computers we often see the logo "Intel Inside".
As a result, some products use ingredient branding to effectively represent the source of competitiveness of the product being sold.
Manufacturer Brand
Last but not least we have the traditional understanding of a brand, the manufacturer's brand.
In this case, the manufacturer uses its own brand to provide an element of distinction to its products and make them stand out in the market.
One challenge remains. How can one approach different options when developing brands over multiple markets?
In the next section of the post, we'll provide a quick guide to navigate this question.
Manufacturer Brand and Market Decisions
Again, the best way to identify the right decision when it comes to choosing how to develop a brand over multiple markets is by looking at the options available.
Single Market and Single Brand
In this case, within a market that a company is competing in, all of its products fall within one brand.
This is the case with companies that are bringing to market products that are similar enough to benefit from the same brand associations.
In this context, for instance, a food brand can be an example of this approach, as the elements of quality, family time, and health may all be beneficial associations for a broad category of food and food-related products.
Similarly, a fashion brand can be easily associated with clothing, fragrances, eyewear, leather goods, and jewelry.
Single Market But Multiple Brands
In this case, what happens is the opposite of what we have just described.
This is the case of a brand like Procter and Gamble or Unilever, where these corporations have developed a one-product-one-brand strategy.
The reasoning behind this is that it is very little or no trade-off between their brands and their respective product categories and it's better to keep them distinct in the mind of their customers.
This way each brand will be able to be managed independently without impacting or influencing the rest of the product offer, building for each a unique set of associations.
In these cases, the products also need to be strongly branded because their appeal would be reduced if the manufacturer would not act on packaging, design, claim and promise to make a detergent, dish soap, or toothpaste attractive to the end consumer.
Multiple Market Local Brand
The last decision to make regards the decision to develop a local brand for each market in which the company is competing or developing a global brand to be used worldwide.
In this first instance, an organization decides to look into multiple local brands as the brand needs to reflect some location and culture-specific characteristics that are decisive in the development of the company's positioning.
This is a situation that is very likely for companies to consider when developing products and services which tap into lifestyle, food, and daily habits.
Multiple Market Global Brand
In this last example, an organization develops a global brand that is universally acknowledged.
Examples of global brands are corporations like Apple or Coca-Cola.
In this case, the brand develops equity (or perceived added values) that relates to a product or to an experience that transcends cultural and national boundaries and can resonate with any individual, regardless of the background and culture or the audience.
There you have it! We've now explored all possible options and it's time to draw our conclusive remarks.
In this post, we've looked at how to navigate branding decisions in international markets by looking at all possible strategies.
By reading through our post you may have found some useful insights that can help you understand what direction to go with your branding decisions.

Huge Shakeup at Disney: Top-Level Chief Who Led Woke Response to Florida Bill Is Gone
The Disney executive who led the company's charge against Florida Republicans over parental rights legislation has walked the plank.
Former Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Geoff Morrell said he will pursue other opportunities, according to The New York Times.
Morrell had joined the embattled entertainment giant in January.

Morrell was a key part of the Disney attack on Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over a state law that banned schools from indoctrinating children about gender change while children were in the primary grades.
Disney's trash-talking attack on DeSantis and others prompted Florida lawmakers to revoke special privileges Disney enjoyed that allowed the company to have what amounted to self-governing status on the lands it owns in Florida in and around Orlando's Disney World.

CEO Bob Chapek sent a memo around announcing Morrell's departure, according to Deadline.
"I am writing to share the news that Geoff Morrell, our Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities," he wrote.
Morrell admitted Friday in an email to those he supervised that it was time to go.
"After three months in this new role, it has become clear to me that for a number of reasons it is not the right fit," he told his team.
Kristina Schake, vice president of global communications, will assume some of Morrell's role, with other pieces divided among other top executives.

Schake was involved in the PR messaging for the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccination push and was deputy communications director for Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, according to Deadline.
Her left-leaning qualifications also include a stint as global communications director for Instagram, special assistant to former President Barack Obama and communications director for former first lady Michelle Obama.
In 2009, Schake co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which advocated for same-sex marriage in California, Deadline reported. The group disbanded after the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage.

Review by Frank Plowright
During the course of working on the Angel series Eric Powell grew as an artist in leaps and bounds, awkward to begin with in a story found in Strange Bedfellows. His contribution to Autumnal was drawn a year later, by which point he was letting the black shadows flow in and had almost settled on the exaggerated cartooning that works so stylishly for him. He makes the most of an old carnival setting, in which the tent canvas flaps, the skull motifs abound and the rats peer from the shadows. The difference when Christian Zanier takes over halfway through is immense. Zanier's not producing poor artwork, but applies nowhere near the same effort to either detail or atmosphere.
That longer story is titled 'Vermin' and the writing team of Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski provide a pack of demonic rats as the primary threat. It's a nicely balanced piece, establishing the threat of the rats before switching to the gang of kidnappers who've chosen a disused fairground as the ideal hideout. We know what's coming, but they don't. While it enables Powell's lovely period pages, the idea of Angel hating rats and having done so for a century is under-developed, frequently mentioned in passing, but given no substance.
As the title suggests, a little girl is also a primary character in 'Little Girl Lost', which begins with the mystery of numerous people in the Los Angeles area spontaneously combusting. We discover early on why that is, and it provides a viable threat for Angel. Powell again draws, but whereas he poured the love into his earlier piece, this is far more workmanlike, seeming as if drawn in a hurry. It's not sloppy, just ordinary. So is the story. The plot is decent idea, but it never sparks into life as it should.
This concludes Golden and Sniegoski's work on Angel, at least as a solo act, as they team him with Buffy in Past Lives. The second Angel Legacy Edition features that along with Autumnal's content, but the Buffy team-up is missing from the Angel Omnibus. Next is Long Night's Journey, which has Angel's co-creator Joss Whedon involved.

2019 Interns
Brooke Effland
I am going into my junior year at Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee. I'm pursuing a degree in Cross Cultural Media Communication. I was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri but have fallen in love with the mountains of Tennessee. You can most often find me at a coffee shop, watching the sunset or searching for a new succulent. I also love spending time with family and friends. I am so excited to partner with what God is already doing in and through Mission Indy and am looking forward to what is in store for this summer.
Tori Overfelt
I just finished my freshman year at Johnson University in Knoxville, TN, and I'll be returning as a junior in the fall. My major is urban studies, and with that, I'd love to do missions work in some sort of urban setting for the rest of my life. I have a heart for working with the homeless and poor in our cities - a people group that is often overlooked. In addition to urban missions, I'm also passionate about language and social justice. I've studied French and Spanish for multiple years, and would love an opportunity to use these skills this summer. Additionally, I have volunteered with my local domestic violence shelter for many years, and wish to keep working in an environment that allows me to love and empower those who need it most. I think this internship will be a great opportunity to use the skills God has given me, and to learn more about what He is calling me to do with my life!
Samantha Woolverton
My name is Samantha! I am currently a student in Johnson University's Intercultural Studies Program, and upon completion of this internship, I will be an official graduate! I live in the small town of White Pine, Tennessee, with a library within walking distance and a donkey to feed down the road. In my spare time I enjoy reading historical fiction, taking long walks and hikes, snuggling my dog, and sharing Chai teas with family and friends. I am looking forward to seeing Indianapolis for the first time and allowing God to share new insights on this new opportunity.

Yet more proof that the desperation doesn't really work in the realm of evolution:
And to make matters worse for frustrated males, the females much prefer the smell of road-tested studs.
Of course, we don't need a study on rats to tell us what every male from puberty to death knows. Women can smell desperation, and so it seems, can rats.

Get Into the Swim This Summer—Safely
As we jump into summer, safety experts warn to take precautions before diving into the water, whether it's a backyard pool or open waters such as a lake, river, pond, or ocean.
Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1 to 4 years old—more than 60 percent of fatal drownings of children under the age of 4 occur in swimming pools—and the second leading cause of unintentional death in children ages 5 to 9, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"Touch supervision" is one of the best ways to prevent drowning in the very young, according to Jay Greenspan, MD, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Jefferson. "Supervisors of preschool children should be close enough to reach the child at all times," he says. In addition, adults should not be involved in any other distracting activity—such as reading, playing cards, talking on the phone, or mowing the lawn—while supervising children.
The American Red Cross suggests these safety tips to help prevent a tragedy in a backyard pool or hot tub:
- Leave no child unattended: Always watch children when they're in or near water, and never leave them unattended. Appoint a "designated water watcher"—an adult tasked with supervising children in the water. The water watcher should focus solely on the children when on duty. Keep a phone nearby in the event calling for help is necessary.
- Secure the premises: Install proper barriers, covers, and alarms. Completely surround your pool with a fence or barrier at least four feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Place a safety cover on the pool or hot tub when not in use, and remove any ladders or steps used for access. Add a pool alarm set to go off if anyone enters the pool when not in use.
- Teach children how to swim: Enroll children in swimming lessons; there are many free or reduced-cost options available from the local YMCA and other organizations. However, Greenspan says parents still need to stay vigilant; swimming lessons do not replace proper supervision.
- Suit up: Always have young or inexperienced swimmers wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
- Drain NO!: Teach children to stay away from the drains in a pool, as drains or suction outlets can pull children under by their hair, limbs, jewelry, or bathing suits. Make sure the drain cover is intact before allowing children into a pool.
- Keep it clean: Maintain proper chemical levels, circulation, and filtration to ensure the pool is clean, clear, and safe from disease-causing microorganisms.
- Be a teetotaler: Always avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming, boating, or water skiing; never drink alcohol while supervising children. Watch teens carefully around the water, as alcohol is involved in more than 70 percent of teenage drownings, Greenspan notes.
- Make plans: Have a response plan to ensure everyone in the home knows how to react in an emergency. Keep safety equipment on hand, and take first aid and CPR courses. "In the time it might take for paramedics to arrive, your CPR skills could make a difference in someone's life. CPR performed by bystanders has been shown to improve outcomes in drowning victims," Greenspan says. CPR classes are available through many hospitals, community centers, or by contacting the American Red Cross at 1-800-RED-CROSS or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Swimming in open water (ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans) poses different risks for children. According to the CDC, children 5 years old and older are more likely to drown in open water, with the risk of drowning increasing with age. The average 10-year-old, for example, is three times more likely to drown in open water than in a pool.
To stay safe on open waters, experts recommend:
- Talk about hidden hazards: Teach children that swimming in open water is different from swimming in a pool, and explain the hidden dangers, such as limited visibility, sudden drop-off, currents, changing weather, and undertow. According to the Red Cross, more than 100 people die annually due to rip currents on U.S. beaches.
- Read the signs: Look for designated swimming areas that are supervised by lifeguards. Always heed the warnings and instructions of lifeguards, as well as flags or signs.
- Be visible: Stay within view of the lifeguards; if you can't see them, they can't see you!
- Don't go it alone: Always swim with at least one buddy.
- Don the vest: Wear a life jacket at all times when boating or participating in other water activities; choose a U.S. Coast Guard–approved jacket that is right for the child's weight and water activity.
- Know water rescue techniques: It is important to know how to respond in an emergency without putting yourself at risk of drowning. Enroll in Red Cross water safety, first aid, and CPR courses to learn what to do.

It's the king of all the classic TV Christmas specials: "A Charlie Brown Christmas" of course. We know those familiar scenes of Charlie Brown sadly looking for the meaning of Christmas, Snoopy's Christmas decorations on his doghouse, Lucy's Christmas pageant, Charlie's pitiful little Christmas tree, and Linus' appearance on center stage to answer Charlie's question about what it all means. Linus quotes straight from Luke's account of Jesus' birth. Those are all things we know about that special. What I just learned recently is contained in an interview with one of the co-creators of that show. When Charlie Brown creator, Charles Schulz, first suggested including the mention of Jesus in the special, he met with some pretty serious objections from the network. They almost tubed the project because they feared they wouldn't be able to sell advertising on a show that talked about Jesus. You know what Charles Schulz did? He stood his ground and he simply said, "If we don't do it, who will? We're going to do it." The rest is history.
I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Unedited 'Charlie Brown Christmas.'"
With his groundbreaking project on the line, Charles Schulz refused to edit out Jesus. I'll tell you what, that's an example of courage for every one of us who claims to belong to Jesus. Because the pressure's on, wherever you work or go to school, to leave out Jesus.
That's not anything new. In Acts 4, beginning with verse 18, our word for today from the Word of God, the Bible records the orders given to Peter and John by the same Jewish leaders who arranged for the crucifixion of their Savior. Here we go: "They called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, 'Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.'" Notice: the authorities didn't care if they talked about morality, about the Bible, or even about God. But the line was clear – "Don't mention the Name!"
I believe that's been the order from hell for 2,000 years, because Satan knows that the power to defeat him is in that name. It is, according to the Bible, "the only name under heaven by which we can be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is "the name at which every knee will bow, in heaven, in earth, and under the earth" (Philippians 2:10). And you know what? It is that name we choke on when we're trying to talk to someone about spiritual things, don't you think? I mean, who do you think makes you choke when it gets to the name of Jesus? Satan himself is screaming, "Don't mention that Name!"
We've been ashamed of that glorious name far too many times, haven't we? How can I be ashamed of Jesus when He was not ashamed of me when He hung, brutalized, dying on a cross? I think we've got to make Romans 1:16 our defiant battle cry: "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation!"
It's time that the people we work with and recreate with and live near know who we belong to. It's time that they know that your life is anchored to Jesus Christ. He's the only One who ever loved you enough to die for you; the only One powerful enough to walk out of His grave under His own power.
Those who have no respect for Jesus are totally unafraid to speak His name carelessly and recklessly. How can we who know who He is, who've been forgiven by His blood, be ashamed to speak His name? It's not enough to just talk about your church, or your religion, or your values. The pressure may be on to edit out Jesus where you are, but we cannot disgrace Him again by being ashamed of His name.
Raise your Jesus-flag to the highest point on the mast and never lower your Jesus-colors again!

Fuzzy Panda Research is Short XXII since we discovered that the most important patents in XXII's patent portfolio have now expired.
- XXII's Key QPT patents behind the tobacco used in their MRTP & PMTA applications expired in 2018.
- QPT expired patents are the essential patents behind the Vector 21-41 tobacco strain.
- Patent Expiration explains why BAT was not willing to pay $3 million to have an exclusive license.
- Big Tobacco companies already have a plethora of low-nicotine tobacco patents and can adhere to FDA low-nicotine standards and now they can produce a similar plant to XXII's Vector 21-41 tobacco strain.
- Lawsuit accusing XXII, CEO Henry Sicignano, and Trey Prevost (a felon) of stealing and copying the intellectual property of Global Tobacco LLC.
- XXII was exposed by Sharesleuth as having fake positive article written about them, XXII engages in paid stock promotion, XXII's IR firm IRTH Communications has been caught doing boiler room style calls, and XXII still has an on-going undisclosed SEC investigation.
From the evidence we uncovered, we believe that these expired patents (the QPT family of patents) are the primary patents behind the Brand A/VLN (very low nicotine) cigarettes. Those who have been tracking XXII for a while know that Brand A/VLN Cigs are the exact same cigarettes that XXII submitted their FDA applications for their MRTP (Modified Risk Tobacco Product) and PMTA (Premarket Tobacco Product Applications). This patent expiration is important because it means that even if XXII were successful in getting FDA approvals, then Big Tobacco companies would be able to come out with similar products by developing their own tobacco plant strain using the expired patents.
The patent expiration finally explains why British American Tobacco walked away from their XXII license agreement 2 years ago. As a reminder it would've cost BAT only $3 million in license fees for what XXII says is "game changing technology." BAT evidently didn't think it was worth the cost and now we know why.
XXII Final – Key Patents have Expired

Commonwealth is a place I'd like to spend more time in. It seems like a gem in a uppdity city. I'm sure you can guess that I'm not a huge fan of Birmingham. I have just found that i haven't encountered tons of warm nice people in the area. I know that can happen anywhere, but it's happened more in B'ham, more frequently.
There are a couple of spots that I do like, this being one of them. They dish up breakfast/brunch items and serve delicious coffee. It has a very clean, minimalist, modern environment. Their food is good and it feels comfortable to be there. However, when it comes down to breakfast/brunch areas and I have to pick... sadly this is not one of the first places that pop into my mind. I do often wonder if I would go here more if it weren't in Birmingham... It's one of the more casual-hip places in B'ham. It's good though. Check it out. Commonwealth's Website Leave a Reply. |
Giving you a taste of what I taste. From gourmet to everyday. No pretentious bull - just good food.

We've always enjoyed experiencing and seeing the oddities of the Four Rivers region. That's why this site, Four Rivers Explorer, exists. But before we began this site, we had a section of our main tourism site, Explore Kentucky Lake, that was dedicated to the unusual and lesser-known aspects of our area. We called the section "Explorations".
Several years ago, we discovered a large concrete building in the middle of Kentucky Lake in Tennessee. We first wrote about the "big building in the middle of Kentucky Lake" back in 2002 on Explore Kentucky Lake's now-defunct Explorations section. At the time we weren't aware of what it was when we first saw it, so we did some research at the local Houston County Public Library in Erin, Tennessee.
It is known as the Old Danville Grain Elevator as well as the Danville Wharf and Danville Transfer Station. Located in Danville, Tennessee, It was built on the banks of the Tennessee River about 300 yards from the L&N Railroad in 1914. The purpose of the building was to transfer barges of grain and other goods from the river to railcars above.
It contained six levels with the bottom three being open for boats carrying cargo to unload their goods from the river. The lower levels accommodated the water level fluctuation of the river. Two twenty-horsepower elevators carried cargo from the lower levels to trains docked at the fourth level. Primary commodities were peanuts, grain, limestone, iron, and cotton.
It was in operation until the early 1940s when TVA began clearing out the area for the creation of Kentucky Lake. The lake would be created by building a large dam downstream at Grand Rivers, Kentucky. The waters would permanently rise 55 feet which would flood most of the building and the surrounding area.
Why TVA decided to leave this structure instead of tearing it down (like what they did with entire towns) is interesting. Some say it was meant as a channel marker. My thinking is it was just too costly to tear down, for it is a massive concrete structure.
Location of Structure
The transfer elevator is only accessible by water craft. We do not encourage anyone walking or exploring inside the structure.

Category: Drama
Jack Benny liked to portray himself as a skinflint but his generosity as a comic allowed other characters to get their fair share of laughs … usually at his expense. Benny got more laughs playing the straight man and didn't care if he was the butt of the jokes. With his brilliant timing, smooth delivery, and trademark mannerisms, Benny was a huge influence on the development of the radio sitcom. References to Benny's reputed stinginess, vanity, and infirmities were expected and weekly running gags established the program's memorable characters. Benny's real wife, Mary, was his sarcastic female friend; Phil Harris, the brash bandleader, Dennis Day the eager juvenile, Rochester the lovable butler and Don Wilson, the overweight announcer. Jack got his big break as a guest on The Ed Sullivan Radio Show in 1932 and was soon signed to his own show. Highlights included the long-running feud with fellow comedian Fred Allen, gags featuring a pet polar bear, and material about Jack's run-down Maxwell jalopy. He insisted he was never older than 39, was a skinflint, and had difficulty playing "Love in Bloom" on his violin. A regular performer for more than two decades on radio, Jack made a seamless transition to television. 5/29/49 "Guest: Margaret Whiting" 9/25/49 "Guests: Edgar Bergan, Red Skelton and Amos N' Andy" 3/12/50 "Jack wins the Sagebrush Soap Contest" 3/19/50 "Cast Does a Sketch on 'The Champion'" 5/14/50 "Guests: Frankie Fontaine and Vivian Blaine" 5/27/51 "Jack Goes to the Doctor and Cast Unhappy with Contracts" 4/26/53 "Guest: Fred Allen and Memories about Vaudeville" 11/15/53 "The Cast is Rehearsing for Jack's TV show" 1/24/54 "The Cast Presents 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew'" 6/6/54 "The Last Show of the Season and Jack is off to Dallas" 3/6/55 "Guest: Danny Kaye and Warner Brothers plans 'The Jack Benny Story'" 4/24/55 "Jack Rents His Maxwell to 20th Century Fox to Use in a Movie"

Here is the problem:
Swamidass breathed scientific life into religious courses, like tying Genesis to the study of cosmology and bringing neuroscience into discussions about the human soul.
Please tell all of us here how you tied the science of cosmology to Genesis AND how neuroscience is tied to the human soul? I have to agree with Jerry Coyne here, you are making stuff up. There is no connection between the study of cosmology and the Genesis creation myth and neuroscience has yet to find any evidence of a human soul.
Did not write those words. It is just that reporter paraphrasing what another reporter wrote. The publicity is good. It gets people in the front door. We just have to be good at telling the story well when they come.
Also, we've discussed the soul before, and came to terms on it.
Did you forget already?
Ok. Everybody gets misquoted. It is an art in dealing with the press. Very hard to do especially for a scientist on the cutting edge of evolutionary science.
You know me enough to be certain I would never glibly say something scientifically indefensible. If I made an error, I'd walk it back and retract. I'm gonna have people coming at me from all angles. You could be one of those telling them I'm legitimate, and is happy to clarify. Right?
I continue to tell people you're legitimate. But you are walking that tightrope, in the wind, in the rain, in the dark, and then you want to do an interview. You might need a press agent.
I do need staff to maximize the potential here. I really do.
You have admit @Patrick, I'm doing well. Right? There is always going to be wind, rain, and more. Right now, at least, I am doing what is right, and I am holding my own. I'm doing good work.
You are doing well. Keep going forward. You are holding you're own. I think that you are in the big leagues now. Stay alert to attacks from all sides and they will be coming. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

To know precisely the name and other characteristics of the different species of national trees, there is a new digital support tool: the eFlora app.
This is the first app developed to identify tropical species, without access to the Internet and is now available for phones with the Android and iOS system. It was carried out by a group of researchers and students of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC).
With the app, it will now be easier for professionals in the forestry or environmental area to know the types of species and characteristics of the trees in our country. In addition, it will be an essential guide for tourist guides to use in their regular activity or for hotels and other socio-environmental enterprises to have a clear inventory of the species of a particular area or place.
This joins characteristics that enhance environmental education by being a technological and informationally so that citizens know in detail the species of their patio, garden,
The version contains 400 species of trees and palm trees common from different regions of the country, ranging from the Central Pacific and North Pacific, North Zone and Talamanca. With thousands of species present in our territory, eFlora only covers a small sample of this wealth.
For the
In addition to Quesada, the forest engineer Francisco Monge and the engineer of the same branch, Cassia Soto, are part of the research team. They developed an interdisciplinary work with experts and assistant students of the Forest Engineering degree as well as Industrial Design Engineering and Computer Engineering.
For Soto, it is precisely essential to articulate various disciplines to integrate technological features in forest management and, in general, in environmental management. "eFlora will continue to grow with the inclusion of more species, alliances and funding seeking", Quesada said.
The application also has as derivative products, a book on endangered species of Costa Rica, which will be launched soon through the Technological Editorial, as well as extension projects that have been developed with indigenous peoples, in addition to publications and articles in the Magazine Kurú Mesoamerican Forest.

Remains of a universal chronicle.
Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily (ca. 80–20 BC), wrote forty books of world history, called Library of History, in three parts: mythical history of peoples, non-Greek and Greek, to the Trojan War; history to Alexander's death (323 BC); history to 54 BC. Of this we have complete Books 1–5 (Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books 11–20 (Greek history 480–302 BC); and fragments of the rest. He was an uncritical compiler, but used good sources and reproduced them faithfully. He is valuable for details unrecorded elsewhere, and as evidence for works now lost, especially writings of Ephorus, Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus is in twelve volumes.
- Russel Mortimer Geer (1894–1984) was W. R. Irby Professor of Classical Languages at Tulane University.

If you asked me a couple of months how to relax after a stressful day then I would have replied asking if there was such a thing? Switching off from work is hard when you love your job and you want to do well. It goes beyond those part-time jobs you used to work to get by, it's your career now and leaving it is like leaving your baby. So no, I didn't know how to 'wind down' after a long week, let alone a long day. But if there's one thing I learned pretty quickly it was that you need to, otherwise you will burn out.
I found this out the hard way, but once you find a balance it really feels like you can have it all after all.
1. See the world
One of my biggest problems was that I worked in an amazing city but never saw it. I would wake up, go to work and come home, eat and sleep. I never did anything. My weekends were made up of my laptop and bed. Before I knew it months were going by and I never appreciated what was around me. I never stopped to smell the roses. And that's what's the most important. The days go by too quick and before you know life is literally passing you by. So don't miss another second. Go out, take a walk, it will help put you in a relaxed state and keep you away from those emails!
2. Treat yourself
This is something I'm too good at and I don't necessarily have a massive bank account to always treat myself. But online shopping seriously relaxes me, whether I have the money or not. I always scroll through the sites and add things to my basket as I go along, it keeps me away from work and gets me excited about where I'm going to wear that outfit. When I get to the end I pick my favorites that fit with what I can afford. Because every girl needs to treat herself once in a while!
3. Start something new
My latest thing is trying to be healthy – not shedding ten pounds in a week healthy, but clean living. From this, I wanted to do something new and exciting that I haven't tried before; self-defence classes. I think being a woman I would feel safer knowing I can protect myself, whilst also working out and having fun with friends at the same time. So try something you wouldn't usually go for and surprise yourself with the fun you will have.
4. Use your weekends
If there's one thing I'm guilty of doing is wasting my weekends. When I've finally put the laptop down I bury myself under the duvet and catch up on a week's worth of bed time. But you can only do this so many times, and recently I've discovered waking up earlier on the weekends and going off and doing something leaves me much more fulfilled. For some, money might be an issue, but there are many things you can do with friends that cost you nothing at all – get creative and enjoy your weekends again!
5. Lose yourself in a new world
If there's one good way to really relax it's chilling out with a book. My tired mind usually cannot even cope with reading a title let alone a page. But it's an excuse to say you don't have any time. There comes a point where you have to put work down and enjoy your time. Even if it's as simple as reading a book or watching a movie. Lose yourself for a couple of hours and get back to you!

There are many 'friendly bacteria' which are considered beneficial for the body. They are found in the gut and are acquired at birth and onward. Their role is to synthesize certain vitamins and contribute to healthy immune system. They also help convert fibers into fatty acids. Taking probiotics help increase the number of friendly bacteria in the gut and boost their functions. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are able to help promote healthy digestive tract and provide healthy immune system. Probiotics can be provided through food, beverages and dietary supplements like yogurt, soy products and pickled vegetables.
Here are the key benefits of taking probiotics:
1. Probiotics like yogurt helps in the proper functioning of digestive system. It can be taken by those who are lactose intolerant as lactose is broken down in the fermentation process.
2. They are high in protein and minerals and support metabolism by increasing your energy. It also regulates appetite by increasing the production of hormones. It is beneficial to control weight gain.
3. Probiotics have immune enhancing properties as it contains zinc, selenium and magnesium. They are also known to reduce inflammation, depression and stress.
4. It helps in lowering bad cholesterol and help maintain healthy heart and blood pressure.
5. Probiotics have high amount of phosphorus and calcium and are beneficial for bones and teeth. The vitamins and minerals in them are helpful in preventing osteoporosis.
Make sure you take the right probiotics if you are looking to them to boost your health.

Drs. Mauro Zammarano, William M. Pitts, Anthony Hamins, and Richard Gann of the Flammability Reduction Group submitted comments for consideration to the State of California on a proposed rulemaking action that would eliminate the Technical Bulletin 133 test standard (TB 133 - Flammability Test Procedure for Seating Furniture for Use in Public Occupancies)[1] and accompanying label requirements. Remaining in place would be Technical Bulletin 117-2013 (TB 117-2013 – a test for the smolder resistance of materials used in upholstered furniture) [2].
Listed in the letter of comments (hyperlink) are statements from the published notice of the proposed action and associated scientific comments. The Flammability Reduction Group provides these comments to offer scientific feedback on statements made in the proposed rulemaking.
Recently, bills have been proposed – Senate bill S.1341 (introduced May 7, 2019) and House bill HR 2647 (introduced May 9, 2019) – to adopt California's Technical Bulletin 117-2013 as a federal flammability standard.
The Flammability Reduction Group drafted this letter as part of its continued commitment to reduce the flammability risk of Residential Upholstered Furniture (RUF). This effort is a key goal the Reduced Flammability of Residential Upholstered Furniture and Flammability Reduction Technologies Projects.

"As [the National Archives and Records Administration] attempted to carry out its statutory responsibilities from 2021 into 2022, highly classified documents sat in a ballroom, bathroom, office space, and a basement storage room at a social club traversed by thousands of members, employees, and guests. NARA rightly involved other government agencies that had equities and authorities that it did not, as necessary to navigate an unprecedented situation."
"That is hardly surprising, and it in no way, shape, or form supports the hyperbolic claim of 'politically motivated operatives' launching a 'crusade against President Trump.' … The defendants' legal problems are solely of their own making," Smith continued.
Trump is on the line for 40 felony counts in the classified documents case, including 32 counts of willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding documents, and concealing records. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Target recalling more than 500k water absorbing toys because of ingestion hazard
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (WCMH) – The Consumer Product Safety Commission says if a child swallows a toy, it could expand inside the stomach causing several medical issues and require surgery for removal.
The CPSC says Target is recalling 560,000 of the toys, sold between February and March, for about $1 because If the small toy is ingested, it can expand inside a child's body and cause intestinal obstructions, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and could be life threatening. Surgery is required to remove the toy from the body, if ingested.
Medical professionals and parents should be aware that there is a possibility that the toys might not show up on an x-ray.
The recall includes: Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs, Easter Grow Toys and Hatch Your Own Dino. Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs and Easter Grow Toys have model number 234-25-1200 on the back of the product's packaging. Hatch Your Own Dino Egg has model number 234-09-0016 on the label inserted in the product's packaging. The pink, blue, or purple Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs include a white bunny, brown bunny, or butterfly. The Easter Grow Toys include a yellow chick, brown bunny, or white bunny. The Hatch Your Own Dino Eggs are purple or yellow/green and contains one of eleven dinosaurs.
Parents are urged to immediately take this recalled toy away from children and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
