By next October, Hillsdale County residents Jon-Paul Rutan and John Smith plan to host a conference on constitutional thought in the Hillsdale area.
The conference will feature speeches about the Constitution by constitutional lawyer and speaker KrisAnne Hall, of the KrisAnne Hall Show; former Sheriff Richard Mack, who served in Graham County, Arizona; Sheriff Brad Rogers, of Elkhart County, Indiana; and others.
"We want these constitutional people to come in and speak and teach us their knowledge, their history, what they have experienced, and how the Constitution can be put into practical use," Smith said.
Rutan and Smith just began planning the conference, but they hope to have eight to ten speakers, who will include a member of the Oath Keepers and potentially a gun-rights group, according to Smith.
Mack and Rogers are both members of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. Mack, who heads the CSPOA, claims the power to refuse to enforce federal laws that disagree with the Constitution. Mack also started a successful lawsuit which challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.
"I'm the only sheriff in U.S. history to take a lawsuit to the U.S. Supreme Court and win," Mack said. "Not too many historians gave us credit, but this was a big step in stopping Brady Bills. It was a big case, and probably the most forgotten and ignored cases which the Supreme Court ever did."
Rogers came to national attention in 2011, when he interceded for a dairy farmer who was inspected by the FDA for selling unpasteurized milk. After investigating the case, Rogers warned the FDA that continuing to inspect the farmer's land without a warrant would result in the arrest or removal of federal agents.
"The sheriff is the law of the land," Rutan, who ran for Hillsdale County sheriff in 2016, said. "That is why the sheriff is such an important position, and that's why you better know whom you are voting for. The sheriff is the highest law of the land in Hillsdale County."
Rutan and Smith say the constitutional conference will not only focus on educating the locals but also bridge the gap between the college and the town.
"Let's face facts: a lot of townspeople will never be able to leave Hillsdale to go see these people, ever," Rutan said. "I think the conference is a good thing, a way to start breaking down the barrier between the hill and the town, and a way to bring the Constitution to the people here where a great constitutional college actually is."
The conference will be funded partly out of Rutan and Smith's own pockets, and partly out of donations. Currently, they cannot afford the cost of a convention space, and so they hope to hold the conference at Hillsdale College. Smith said they have not contacted the college yet.
If the conference is a success, Rutan says he hopes to make it an annual event.
"It doesn't matter what political spectrum you come from: once you start understanding the principles, you fall in love with the Constitution all over again," Rutan said. "We are hoping to make the conference an annual event, where people will drive here from four or five hours away, where friendships will form, and where the principles of the Constitution will sprout and grow like new grass and travel throughout this county."

Never a studio to deliver less than anticipated, Marvel recently announced that its Agent Carter series will launch with a two-hour premiere. The 1940s-era series will focus on Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), a Strategic Scientific Reserve officer and co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. Carter is best known as Captain America's love interest, because, much as they were in the '40s, women on screen are defined by their romantic relationships.
According to Marvel's synopsis, the premiere is set in 1946, not long after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, when Carter finds herself being marginalized at work after the men return home from World War II. But, more importantly, "she is also trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Steve Rogers." Things get cooking when Howard Stark (Tony's father) is framed for selling his weapons to enemies of the state and enlists Carter's help to clear his name and, if she has time, save the world by destroying the weapons.
The two-hour premiere of Marvel's Agent Carter will air on Tuesday, January 6, and the series will run for seven episodes. You can also catch a glimpse of Agent Carter in the upcoming Avengers: Age Of Ultron, because Captain America is in that movie and she loves him.

Stand-up comic and writer Aziz Ansari is probably best-known for his role as Tom Haverford in the mockumentary Parks and Recreation, but he has surprised us all with his new comedy series Master of None, recently released on Netflix. In the show, Ansari plays Dev, an ambitious actor whose most successful gig to date is a Go-Gurt commercial. The show chronicles Dev's everyday experiences as he faces various obstacles while navigating life in the city. Similar threads tie together Ansari's character in Parks to his character in Master of None – most prominently, their satirized Millennial-esque social media savvy and delectably goofy humor. But what stands out about Dev is his more thoughtful approach to life, and we find the character faced with much more poignant issues than the flat, one-note character Tom in Parks.
Each episode of the series focuses around a central issue, from racism in Hollywood to sexism to life as a second-generation child in America. The episodes play out somewhat like case studies, each exploring an issue in nuanced and refreshing ways. All of this takes place in the city of New York, which Ansari uses as a sort of springboard for each characters' adventures, accented by the city's hipster foodie restaurants, constantly bustling night life, and diverse cultural undertones.
One of the best episodes early on in the series is "Parents," in which Dev and his Asian-American friend Brian, played by Kevin Yu, learn about their parents' sacrifices and struggles as immigrants. The episode initially depicts two separate interactions between the sons, Dev and Brian, and their respective dads. Dev and Brian decline their fathers' small requests for help due to their own shallow and superficial desires, which are highly contrasted against the flashbacks of their immigrant fathers, who now meet their sons' selfishness with stoicism. The contrast is clearly supposed to elicit laughs from its viewers, but the episode also serves the larger purpose of fleshing out cultural and racial stories in the US. Though these themes have the potential to alienate some viewers, the episode plays well on the universal familial bonds that transcend generational and cultural gaps. However, Ansari's take on this immigrant story was also notable in its choice to compare Asian and Indian experiences—rather than the typical cultural comparison made between one minority and the dominant white culture.
Race is also explored in the episode "Indians on TV," which criticizes Hollywood for its "There can't be two" motto regarding casting minorities in sitcoms. Throughout the series as a whole, race is also an undertone observed in Dev's dating life, which arguably serves as the show's foundational plotline. In the show, Dev's love interests are pretty racially limited, with the exception of one bad date with a non-white girl he meets online, played by Annie Chang. However, it seems like the mere existence of these interracial attractions are still pushing racial boundaries on TV. Ansari was further able to touch upon some racial notions in his character's relationship with Rachel, played by SNL's Noël Wells. Though the relationship appears to be virtually unaffected by Dev's non-whiteness, in the episode "Mornings" – which depicts their fizzling relationship via a montage spanning months – there is a clear distinction between Rachel's and Dev's levels of communication with their parents about their relationship, caused primarily by familial cultural differences.
The diversity in the rest of the cast – one of our favorites being Dev's friend Denise, played by Lena Waithe – is one of the factors that really sets the show apart from other comedies currently worth streaming. Not only is it refreshing, it's also the avenue through which many of the show's themes and situations develop. Besides being able to negotiate all of these deeper social issues and more, the show itself is also genuinely funny. If you haven't already, we strongly recommend that you check out Ansari's Master of None —it's guaranteed to improve your next Netflix binge session.

The Cape of Ca Mau belongs to Ngoc Hien District in Ca Mau Province. It is located only 118km away from the center of Ca Mau City. This is a unique spot of Vietnam Tourism not only because of its southern-most location, but also because is the only place in Vietnam where one can see the sun rising in the East and setting in the West.
The Cape of Ca Mau
The cape was discovered at the end of the 17th century. As it is the residential area of three ethnic groups: Viet (Kinh), Hoa, and Khmer, it is the place where many aspects of the three cultures interact and converge, reflecting in many unique traditions and customs.
The natural scenery full of mangrove forests featuring a plethora of birds, wild animals, and fish gives Ca Mau a very distinctive beauty of a newly discovered land: mysterious and fresh at the same time. With a diverse system of wild plants and animals, the giant mangrove forests are the most noticeable feature of this land, as they are the intersection of the East Sea and the West Sea.
The attraction
As the area of the forest expands greatly on a yearly basis, the most precious types of plant also develop, benefiting the wild animals residing there. It is estimated that there are over 240 types of plants, 36 species of animals, 194 species of birds, and 260 species of fish, with many endangered species.
From the Cape of Ca Mau, one can see the Hon Khoai Archipelago which is 20km away from mainland. This is a huge cluster of beautiful islands such as Hon Tuong, Hon Sao, Hon Kho, Hon Lon, Hon Doi Moi, etc., among which Hon Khoai Island is the biggest and highest with a width of 4km2 and a height of 318m. But don't just stand still and look, come to this amazing island! This is where you can find the most important (and probably the most romantic) lighthouse in the Gulf of Thailand and the East Sea!

Hiring assessments are powerful tools for any talent acquisition team. When properly used, these assessments provide insights and evaluations of candidates that target job-specific skills, and back up these evaluations with qualitative data. Thus, good hiring assessments enable the talent acquisition team at an organization to make informed hiring decisions, supported with data-backed evidence.
However, from a candidate perspective there's a number of concerns that circulate these assessments. The idea that failing one of these tests because of something like a "bad personality" is one of many examples, but an even bigger concern goes beyond passing and failing. There is the idea among some candidates that hiring assessments aren't used to help support a decision, but actually used to help remove a candidate from contention for a job, without raising some sort of profiling discrimination.
While the idea sounds absurd when written out, the fear is real. There are candidates who, when asked to take a hiring assessment for a job, won't see an opportunity to advance in the hiring process – they'll see it as a precursor to elimination that they cannot control. Even more, they feel they can't control this because they're not supposed to, that the assessment is designed so that they'll fail.
First, the idea that a hiring assessment is used to eliminate a candidate from consideration is foolish. In a way, everyone loses when a candidate isn't hired. The turned down candidate must continue their job search longer, having to restart the hiring process with another company, which takes time and energy. The company, on the other hand, has just spent time and resources on a candidate who didn't have enough to earn an offer, which means the company must now spend more money and use more resources to find a candidate who will. All the while there is a vacant position in the company that isn't bringing money in because there's nobody filling the position. It's a drain on resources, money, and time when a candidate doesn't work out – the idea that resources would be used in order to turn a candidate down is somewhat silly.
However, the concern will exist on the candidate's end regardless. This is where transparency on the assessment process becomes critical. When you're using a tool such as a hiring assessment, it's important to explain to the candidate what the assessments are in place for, and how they benefit the candidate. This doesn't need to be a lengthy explanation, but highlighting how the assessments are designed to test job skills and personality traits that the candidate will be using on a day-to-day workflow, and that it also gives the candidate a better idea of the position they're applying for and what they'll need in order to succeed should be a sufficient explanation. Be available to answer a candidate's questions, should they have any, regarding the assessment process itself. One thing that raises red flags for the candidate is that assessments are seen as "person versus computer" rather than a traditional interview, which "person talking with person." In the former, there margin for error and ability to justify answers are vastly different than the latter. By adding a human aspect – whether it be explanation beforehand, availability to answer questions, or something else – you'll be creating a much better candidate experience, that won't raise these concerns or leave the candidate feeling like their application process is being thrown to the wolves.

Each week William Lee and Nina Metz recap and discuss the second season of "Westworld," which airs Sundays on HBO.
Note: Spoilers ahead
We pick up in the aftermath of Season 1, as the park's robots continue to exact bloody revenge on their human tormentors.
1. The hosts have taken control
Will Lee: "Westworld" raised eyebrows in its first season for the sexual depravity and violence that the human park inhabitants showed toward the android hosts, and it looks like this season will be about their vengeance. With Dolores and Maeve's emergence as robot liberators — played by Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton — we can expect a cat-and-mouse game as they hunt down the park's human customers. No human character from Season 1 is safe.
Nina Metz: I wonder what factors will complicate that vengeance. This is a show dense with plot tricks, the ground forever shifting beneath our feet even as the Most Ominous Score Ever does much of the emotional work. Dolores and Maeve are operating separately and seemingly unaware of one another's efforts, but both have entirely freed themselves from the tyranny of their programmed storylines — the guileless rancher's daughter and the seen-it-all brothel proprietress, respectively — and vengeance will have to give way to other drives, right? We know Maeve is intent on finding her daughter, if the girl still even exists. By the way, if the hosts are no longer trapped in their story loops, will Westworld's robot children mature and grow up — if not physically than psychologically? Or will they remain forever suspended in a state of childhood?
2. The Man in Black/William is on a separate journey
NM: We are all William in a sense — "Westworld" exists for our entertainment and our puzzlement. But the Man in Black remains one of the show's more opaque characters and — much as I like Ed Harris — I wish we knew more about what he's thinking. Presumably the show will tease out more specifics about his transformation from love-struck William to the man before us now, but really I'm still curious about what he's even doing in the park to begin with. Is he just a bored rich guy looking for an adrenaline rush like all the others he scorned in Season 1? Or is there something deeper going on? At any rate, it doesn't seem like he'll be part of this robot-human war that's a-brewing. He's still playing his own game — only this time, it sounds like a game of escaping from the park. (Speaking of getting out, that's "Get Out" co-star Betty Gabriel as part of the human paramilitary team that has belatedly arrived in Westworld to quell the uprising.)
WL: I think last season's reveal about William/Man in Black was to show us that, as a young man, he was against brutality until Westworld showed him how cathartic violence could be. Since then, he's searched for higher meaning and may find his higher purpose killing hosts in this new anything-goes version of the park. But you're correct — William is going to need all sorts of back story to make his story arc compelling. Where can he go now after an entire season of playing a deadly, mysterious gunslinger?
3. It looks like Bernard took part in the uprising
WL: As the rampage gears up, Bernard is in a curious position — will any of the humans scrambling to react around him realize he is actually his robot double?
NM: It's unclear how many timelines the episode covered, right? When Bernard wakes up in the surf, the owlish (and seemingly gentle) programmer is as disoriented as we are — and that's one of the great assets of having Jeffrey Wright in your cast, because he can get across so much with just a look. But consider those memory flashes early in the episode; it seems he was a part of this slaughter, no? He tells Dolores about a dream — or "dream" — where she abandons him, and what he's describing is that image we eventually see of all those android bodies in the water. Who killed them? I did, Bernard realizes. Maybe when all is said and done, he and Dolores find they're on opposite ends of an existential divide.
WL: Well, it wouldn't be an episode of "Westworld" without the usual headache of wondering when in time you are. Watching Bernard retrace his steps after the massacre and find clues with Charlotte, you can't help but wonder if the writers are messing with us in yet another attempt to keep the audience off-kilter. It's small wonder why every episode requires two or three rewatch sessions to hammer out what you know and what you think you know.
4. The show really likes its tropes
NM: This week it was especially noticeable in the dialogue. There's a meta moment when Maeve lobs a threat and then hilariously comments on the hackiness of her words — she's repeating a line of dialogue that was written for her as a host. But then moments later she utters precisely the sort of cliched dialogue she was just zinging. It's when she talks about finding her daughter and her paramour asks, where is she? "Out there, somewhere," Maeve says as they turn to gaze at the vista and the music swells. "Where you go, I follow," he replies. Talk about your trope-apalooza!
WL: Any TV series that works out-of-sequence will rely on tropes — not to mention a ton of subtle clues — to give watchers a false sense of security they know what's going on. I'll confess that part of the fun of reading recaps like these is seeing how spot-on (or off) the reviewers are. Like "Lost" and "Legion," "Westworld" is abstract TV — sneaking in as many obvious and subtle Easter eggs as possible. Is Bernard the well-meaning automaton he pretends to be, or are his malfunctions signaling something much more sinister? HBO should start making "Westworld" CliffsNotes.
5. Visual of the week
NM: The gore and violence are ever-present and I can't even begin to unpack my thoughts about the scalping of an android so obviously styled as an indigenous character. The show is doing this kind of provocation intentionally — it's a choice by showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy that both comments on historical atrocities while also replicating them in graphic detail, which I tend to find emotionally disingenuous.
But for me, the visual of the week is when Dolores addresses the three people she has hanging by a noose, alive only because they are precariously balanced on what look to be cross-shaped grave markers. They're still in their evening dress from the gala and the lone female is having an especially tough time balancing thanks to her stiletto heels and all I could think was: This show has a way of punishing women for simply being women, whether host or human.
WL: For me, the piles of bodies strewn throughout the complex was hard to shake as the most striking image. And the optics of scalping a Native American certainly wasn't lost on me. For all the chaos happening and for all of Dolores' killing, she has more than a couple of monologues to express her newly developed consciousness. I also can't help but feel a connection between the robot uprising and the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter culture wars going on in the real world. The robots, who had been used by humans, are now on the attack, and the humans are struggling to adjust. There seems to be some truth in that for real life movements as well.

when you think about it, soda used to be made to order by a person. the person was known as a soda jerk. he would take the syrup you liked and added carbonated water. years later the soda machine came and it did the same thing. can we do this with cocktails? would we want to do this with cocktails?
i dont.
i like the idea as a novelty item, but nothing more than that. i like my mixologist making my cocktails. as you all know, i'm a huge fan of anvil. i'm there practically every other night!!
but the idea of a cocktail vending machine still lingers. its doable. its fun.
tonight at textile i served ramos gin fizz from a siphon. it literally takes me 5 seconds to put the whole thing together. 5 seconds!!
the mix is made. orange flower water, gin, st germain, lime juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, cream, egg white. then its put in the siphon. first its charge with a co2 cartridge to make it fizzy. then its charged with no2 cartridge, so that when its dispensed its foamy. the last step is to add a little of the mix (not in the siphon) and give it a stir.
haha! soon i'll just have a row of siphons with different cocktails. serve yourself.

I've thought it would be fun to have single serving shooters sold in stores that you can somehow mix yourself (the same way some yogurts, etc) are packaged. You know, shooters like B-52, Buttery Nipple, Kamikazes, etc - ingredients separated when you buy but you shake, mix and shoot.
Dessert idea?

This is already happening. There are whole new systems that replace bartenders going into restaurants and bars across the country. Its only a matter of time before they grow in popularity. What we don't need is people like you spreading this madness; now, you behave and stop all this cocktail vending machine talk.

bobby, i did not mean to insult. i described this as a novelty idea. i dont want a machine replacing bartenders. machines dont have souls, taste buds, or personailties.
why would i want to replace an art with a robot?
the idea is doable, but i dont think people will go for it. its not personable.
im just playing around with siphons and cocktails for now. once i understand siphons better, i'll introduce them into desserts to alter textures.
as for the gin fizz, it came out like a mousse. it was awesome! if i use methocel in the mix, i could dehydrate the mousse to create a gin fizz meringue cookie.
gin fizz vacherin anyone?

Bobby: doesn't replacing bad/average bartenders with robots only make what you do at Anvil that much more valuable? Right now, you cannot easily convince your average consumer that premium cocktails are worth the price. Make them all taste the same across the country and suddenly boutiques are a whole lot more differentiated.
Or it could be just the opposite. What do I know?

very common in japan. my buddy eddie tells me, that you can buy used underwear from vending machines in certain neighborhoods in tokyo.

Yep, glad you brought this up at the bar the other day. I would have never thought twice about it. I was just joking around; sorry I wasn't too clear about my comment and intentions.

I really love to make cocktails, in fact my husband and I used to make them at home for a special occasion. As a matter when we celebrate something he used to visit Viagra Online and it's even better

FARMERS are now shifting to digitization as they prefer to market their products on the internet through online selling.
Evarista Cabriana, barangay councilor for the committee on agriculture of Bonbon, said connectivity helped them reach a wider audience.
"We market our products like flowers and vegetables through online selling and our children help us when it comes to our sellers on the internet," she said.
The mountain barangay of Bonbon, which is almost 17 kilometers from Cebu City proper, is a Wi-Fi dead spot area.
"Sa una, magradyo rami. Usa ra ka bar sa cellphone ang signal lisod dakpon. Karon okay na kay tanang tawo mag-cellphone naman. (We only use handheld radios before. And when we had signal, there was only one bar. Now, everybody's using cellphones)," said Eduardo Cabriana, Bonbon's barangay captain.
Bridging the gap
Eduardo said they have a lot of farmers whose main income is selling flowers and vegetables.
"Mao na ang kusog makatabang sa among mga farmers diri, labi na kay naa na sila'y mga suki nga pwedeng tawagan. (This is a big help to our farmers, especially since they now have regular customers that they contact)," he said.
Aside from regular patrons, Eduardo said he was also hopeful that after a cellsite was erected in their barangay, it would bridge the market access gap between farmers and customers.
He said that through the internet, farmers would be able to get more income as they could directly market their products to the market instead of going through the middlemen who bought their products at a lower cost and sold them to the market with an already added value.
Evarista said that they have more than 100 farmers under the Bonbon Cut Flowers and Vegetables Farmers Association.
"Nindot gud kaayo ni nga naa na mi signal kay lagyo kaayo among mga miyembro. Gikan sa barangay proper, ang ubang sitios kay tag 30 minutes ang biyahe. (It's really nice that we already have a signal since some of our members live far away, with some of the sitios taking half an hour to reach)," she said.
With internet connectivity, it would now be easier to disseminate information to members, especially when it involved the selling points of their agricultural products.
Barangay Bonbon has a population of 6,000, whose main livelihood is agriculture.
Globe Telecommunications on Tuesday, Jan. 8, set up a cellsite in the barangay.
"They can now send texts, make calls and connect to the internet through their mobile data because of this," said Patrick Gloria, director of external affairs of Globe Telecom.
Earlier, Department of Information and Communications Technology -Central Visayas officer-in-charge Frederick Amores said installing internet connection would propel the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises, especially in areas with no access to social media in Cebu.
"When we have more people that access the internet, there will be more incentives for them to go online because the market itself is going online," he said.

Woodchuck Mounds Create Fall Hazards and Equipment Damage
The massive mounds of soil and empty holes left behind by woodchucks as they burrow create dangerous hazards. People walking in these areas may trip and fall or break their ankles when they unknowingly encounter the remnants of woodchuck burrow systems. Farm animals including horses also face risks when encountering the piles of soil and holes left behind by woodchucks. Farm equipment is frequently damaged as a result of damage to the landscape caused by woodchucks.

Everything was same yet there was a feeling of unfamiliarity around. Yesterday I went to my old house to collect some of my stuff remaining there and bid a final good bye to once upon a time my home. My association with these beams and walls has lasted for the past 3 years and though I should get used to it by now, having spent last 24 years of my life (you know my age now…delete from your memory ASAP!) doing the same, still everytime I had to leave a place or move to a new house it hurts somewhere. Strange it is how we get attached to things, both living and the one belonging to the inanimate world.
I looked around. This house has spent 1095 days and nights with me. It has seen me grow from a student to a professional. But today it is no more mine. The study table at the corner is no more mine. No more will I get to relish my mom's food on this dining table standing in the empty hall, all alone. The shelves once stuffed with my things, both important and trivial, are now all vacant and free. The walls of this room that was once my room still bears my signs in the poster marks that were once stuck on them. This chair that once witnessed many small and big discussions is no more mine. The dressing table which still has my two bindis stuck on the sides of its mirror is no more mine. These concrete steps will no more lead to My Home. Till yesterday it was a part of my identity and today this house is no more mine. Still it is an integral part my life. Always has been, always will be.
When I first stepped on you
I didn't feel any happiness
My heart didn't feel know to love you
Today again I am taking a step
This time, the one that goes out
I cried when I first saw you
And today, my eyes are moist again
But the difference lies in my heart
As I bid you a good bye
I can feel the love inside
Yes I am in love with you
Yes I am going to miss you!

The coverage of many historical events in this chapter have an absurd slant. While I do consider myself a progressive, I still care about the actual history being correctly portrayed. I particularly had a problem with the depiction of America's "cruelty" in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Important information is intentionally left out in order to make the reader sympathize with non-Americans. For example, in the actual manuscript, the predicted death toll (had the U.S. not dropped the bomb) was 250,000-1,000,000. This book has it as being "as many as 250,000 American lives." This extremely important information is left out, and creates a very obviously intentional informational bias. This is upsetting as it incorrectly portrays a very important part of history, and invalidates an instrumental fact in the justification of the use of nuclear weaponry, simplifying it down in order to dilute the actual facts. The book portrays Japan as being "near surrender" when in reality at the time their land army was as strong as ever with no evidence of surrendering any time soon. There is no coverage of Operation Downfall, which had, in large part, +1,000,000 man projected casualties, which are important to bring to light given that they are a crucial point in the debate over the bombing controversy. It is also interestingly left out of the book that Hiroshima was an important army depot and embarkation point for the Japanese army. So why does Foner portray Hiroshima as a harmless civilian city? The wording used, such as "Truman did not hesitate. The bomb was a weapon, and weapons are created to be used" is so completely baseless and entirely an appeal to emotion. There was much deliberation over the bombs usage, and this portrayal is laughably inaccurate. The fact that many of these important parts of the historical events are left out is truly absurd, and disappointing that such important aspects of this event are left out of what is supposed to be an unbiased account of history.
The author issues so many vague generalities, you'd think it was an elementary school textbook. Honestly, page after page of passive sentences-tough to see what anyone would learn from the book.
Great read
The textbook for my American History to 1877 class. Quite easy to read for a textbook, I found this to be a good overview of the time period.
Got the book for History 12 college class. It was a great supplement to the in class lectures. It gave a different perspective on historic events.

Though the theatrical collective the Mad Ones named itself after a line from "On the Road" — "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk" — you could be forgiven for thinking what's mad is their method.
In a series of productions since 2009, its five core members, joined by others for individual projects, have built scripts out of improvisations on situations notable for their banality. Perhaps you caught "Samuel and Alasdair," their enactment of the lives of two unremarkable Iowa brothers in the 1950s. Or "Miles for Mary," their meticulous reconstruction of a faculty meeting at an Ohio high school circa 1988.
I loved "Miles for Mary" for the way it revealed the extremeness of the human condition even in its apparently least consequential moments. But I worried whether the Mad Ones had excelled itself into a corner. How could it ever top the transcendent tediousness of an assistant wrestling coach trying to follow Robert's Rules of Order?
And yet its latest, "Mrs. Murray's Menagerie," which opened on Monday at the Greenwich House Theater, dips even deeper into the well of ordinariness. Though not quite as emotionally powerful as its predecessor, it is just as funny and, in some ways, more momentous.
The setup certainly fits the Mad Ones profile, pursuing its goal to "examine and illuminate American nostalgia" within a highly structured yet nearly surreal format. At a Philadelphia community center in 1979, six parents of young children have been assembled to participate in a focus group. The tinted aviator glasses, hairstyles and Huk-A-Poo shirts pin down the fashion moment just as forcefully as their chatter pins down the sociological one.
What they're chattering about couldn't be more ridiculous, though. A children's television show called "Mrs. Murray's Menagerie," starring the beloved Mrs. Murray and puppet pals including Candace, Gypsy, Teddy and Mister Face, is ending its many-year run. A research firm called Blue Horizon has been hired to help the producers decide which of two spinoff options is better: "Candace's Cabinet" or "Teddy's Treehouse."
You may quail at first, as the fantastically smooth Dale from Blue Horizon (Brad Heberlee) asks the panelists searching questions like "In a word or a phrase, how is Mrs. Murray unlike you?" and "By a show of hands, who in this room perceives Gypsy as naughty?"
Yet as Dale's associate, Jim (Marc Bovino), scrambles to record the answers on a blackboard — despite having one arm in a cast — you begin to notice the way the parents, all strangers, are stratifying along class, gender and racial lines.
[What's new onstage and off: Sign up for our Theater Update newsletter]
Wayne (Michael Dalto) works in tool and die. Gloria (Stephanie Wright Thompson) is a single mother who apparently cannot afford the limited edition Mrs. Murray merchandise that June (Carmen M. Herlihy) buys for her son. Ernest (Phillip James Brannon) and Cici (January LaVoy) appreciate the presence of nonwhite characters on the show; they are black. And Roger (Joe Curnutte) becomes strangely defensive when the others agree that Candace, his daughters' favorite, is "whiny."
How such minutiae mount into a crisis is a mystery built into the company's method. Some of it has to do with the subtle, super-sharp direction by Mad Ones member Lila Neugebauer. After the handsy Roger touches Cici and calls her "honey," you notice how Dale, sensing her discomfort, steps silently between them. And as the choice between "Candace's Cabinet" and "Teddy's Treehouse" accelerates into a referendum on privilege and diversity — Candace being white and Teddy being black — you notice how the comedy has become a lot more cutting.
I say "you notice" because nothing is handed to you or signposted. The process of exposition is rigorous and ingenious, forcing you to become an active agent in the discovery of the play's themes. It's not even clear that the characters are aware of those themes, any more than people can make out the contours of the history they are part of.
And yet the whole project depends on an understanding of how people expose — cannot help exposing — their truest selves in every gesture and utterance they make. Based on that, the Mad Ones contend that even a focus group about fictional characters can tell us a great deal about real ones, about us.
This puts unusual pressure on the actors, who must be convincing as subjects in a verbatim faux-documentary while also suggesting a bigger picture to which they are mostly blind. First among equals at this are Ms. LaVoy and Mr. Brannon, who seem to carry the incipient knowledge of social change in their exquisitely modulated parries and retreats. And also Mr. Curnutte as a man whose hereditary presumptions of power are being undermined by puppets.
Supporting them beautifully in this Ars Nova production are those time-capsule costumes (by Ásta Bennie Hostetter) and the grungy, you've-been-there community room set (by You-Shin Chen and Laura Jellinek). Even the theme songs for the two spinoffs (music by Justin Ellington, words by Mr. Dalto) are perfect; they sound just like real nostalgia.
That's quite a trick, but pulling it off is central to the Mad Ones aesthetic. Plays like "Mrs. Murray's Menagerie" dramatize the idea that history isn't just what gets recorded in books. It's what's happening every moment, perhaps especially the trivial ones.

The dental implant is the closest thing in modern dentistry to a natural tooth. This is because an implant replaces more than the visible crown — it also replaces the root, thanks to a metal post imbedded in the bone.
But what if you have a metal allergy — are you out of luck replacing a tooth with an implant? Before answering this question, let's take a closer look at metal allergies.
An allergy is an overreaction of the body's immune system to a particular foreign substance. This response can be as inconsequential as a minor rash or as life-threatening as a shutdown of the body's organ systems. You can be allergic to anything, including metals.
Usually, these allergies are to specific kinds of metals. For example, about 17% of women and 3% of men are allergic to nickel, while smaller percentages are allergic to cobalt or chromium. Most allergic reactions to metal occur from external contact with jewelry or similar metal items that create rashes or other anomalies on the skin. On a more serious note, an allergy to metal in a body replacement part could result in the body rejecting it.
Metals have also played an important role in dental care, particularly dental amalgam used for tooth fillings. Dental amalgam is a mixture of a precious metal like gold or silver with other metals like copper, tin and, in small amounts, mercury. While dental amalgam has been used safely for decades, there have been rare cases of inflammation or rashes.
This brings us to dental implants and the most common metal used in them, titanium. The commercial version of this metal is highly prized in medical and dental applications because it has a special affinity with bone. Bone cells readily grow and adhere to the metal, which strengthens the bond between the implant and the jawbone.
Even if you have a rare allergy to certain metals, it's even rarer that would include titanium. In one particular study of 1,500 implant patients less than 1% reported any reaction at all.
If you're concerned, you can undergo testing to see if you react to titanium. More than likely, though, you'll be able to join the millions of other patients who have successfully restored their smiles with dental implants.
If you would like more information on dental implants as a tooth replacement option, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Metal Allergies to Dental implants."
Is having good oral hygiene important to kissing? Who's better to answer that question than Vivica A. Fox? Among her other achievements, the versatile actress won the "Best Kiss" honor at the MTV Movie Awards, for a memorable scene with Will Smith in the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day. When Dear Doctor magazine asked her, Ms. Fox said that proper oral hygiene was indeed essential. Actually, she said:
"Ooooh, yes, yes, yes, Honey, 'cause Baby, if you kiss somebody with a dragon mouth, my God, it's the worst experience ever as an actor to try to act like you enjoy it!"
And even if you're not on stage, it's no fun to kiss someone whose oral hygiene isn't what it should be. So what's the best way to step up your game? Here's how Vivica does it:
"I visit my dentist every three months and get my teeth cleaned, I floss, I brush, I just spent two hundred bucks on an electronic toothbrush — I'm into dental hygiene for sure."
Well, we might add that you don't need to spend tons of money on a toothbrush — after all, it's not the brush that keeps your mouth healthy, but the hand that holds it. And not everyone needs to come in as often every three months. But her tips are generally right on.
For proper at-home oral care, nothing beats brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, and flossing once a day. Brushing removes the sticky, bacteria-laden plaque that clings to your teeth and causes tooth decay and gum disease — not to mention malodorous breath. Don't forget to brush your tongue as well — it can also harbor those bad-breath bacteria.
While brushing is effective, it can't reach the tiny spaces in between teeth and under gums where plaque bacteria can hide. But floss can: That's what makes it so important to getting your mouth really clean.
Finally, regular professional checkups and cleanings are an essential part of good oral hygiene. Why? Because even the most dutiful brushing and flossing can't remove the hardened coating called tartar that eventually forms on tooth surfaces. Only a trained health care provider with the right dental tools can! And when you come in for a routine office visit, you'll also get a thorough checkup that can detect tooth decay, gum disease, and other threats to your oral health.
Bad breath isn't just a turn-off for kissing — It can indicate a possible problem in your mouth. So listen to what award-winning kisser Vivica Fox says: Paying attention to your oral hygiene can really pay off! For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can read the entire interview with Vivica A. Fox in Dear Doctor's latest issue.
Restoring chipped, stained or decayed teeth with dental porcelain is a tried and true method that's been used for decades. In recent years, though, restorations made with composite resin have become a popular alternative.
Made of a plastic-based matrix with added glass filler, composite resin can be molded and bonded to teeth to replace missing structure with color to match. While they can't be used for every problem situation, they're an efficient and economical way to transform your smile.
Here are 4 advantages for using composite resin to restore moderately defective teeth.
They require very little tooth preparation. Crowns, veneers and other porcelain restorations require removing some healthy tooth structure to accommodate them. With the development of stronger bonding materials, composite resins can restore even many large defects in teeth caused by decay or trauma with little structural removal and still remain durable.
Most composite resin restorations are "single-visit" procedures. Unlike porcelain restorations, applying composite resin doesn't require a dental lab, a process that can take multiple visits. In most cases, a skilled dentist can apply them during a single visit.
They have excellent color matching capabilities. We usually think of teeth as one single shade of white — actually, a single tooth can have varying gradations of color from the root to the tip. As mentioned before, composite resins can be prepared to match those color shades precisely, so your restored teeth look natural and blend well with your other teeth.
Composite resins can be an effective temporary fix for young injured teeth. Because children's teeth are still developing, permanent restorations for traumatized teeth aren't usually advisable until they've fully matured. Composite resin can be used to restore a young tooth's form and function until it's ready for a permanent solution.
If you would like more information on restoring teeth with composite resin, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Artistic Repair of Front Teeth with Composite Resin."
