President Park Geun-hye's Impeachment Special, Part VI: Short Letter from the Moe Representative of Changnyeong County
Dear Madam President Park Geun-hye,
It looks like that I can't defend you any longer. I cried because I can't accept the fate that you're been impeached by the majority of Assemblymen in the National Assembly. Recently, you distanced me in favour to your 'best-friend forever', Choi Soon-sil for doing such heinous things that happened in my adopted country.
I had enough with the scandal that marred you, the officials of the Blue House and Choi Soon-sil's cronies and extended relatives. The high-profiled figure skater, Kim Yuna has been threatened to not receive the most distinguished award in Korean Sport which is 2015 Sportsman of the Year Award from Korean Sport & Olympic Committee after rejected any sponsorship that related to your confidante. With this, the preparation for the Winter Olympics at Pyeongchang in 2018 stalled because of your monstrosity.
The Korean Chaebols are threatened as well by Choi Soon-sil. Companies that related to Hanjin Group such as Hanjin Shipping and Korean Air and Cheil Jedang-based CJ E&M are in danger because of Choi Soon-sil who meddling these companies. That imbecile old hag has an authority to appoint and fire anybody not only for Government Officials, the workers of those company that I highlighted also included. Keep in mind that bribery is your 'main meal' everyday. Either in small or big values, you gobble them all.
Remember the Sewol-ho sinking? Don't you think that you're indirectly killed 300 Danwon High School students in process during your disappearance? I can't forgive myself because one of the sources about the sinking has been received by my nemesis, Yoo Do-hyang (Liu Bei? Of course, she did). I feel sorry to the parents of the students who perished in this incident. They demanded the justice for two years and finally, it served after your impeachment.
I, Cho Hwa-rim (just remember me as Cao Cao - the Chaos Queen of Wei Dynasty), the Moe-Representative of Changnyeong County will break my ties with you because of your heinous attitude towards not only government officials and celebrities, yet to the Korean People in general. We're done.
Yours sincerely,
Cho Hwa-rim
(Moe Representative of Changnyeong County, Southern Gyeongsang Province)

President Park Geun-hye's Impeachment Special, Part IV: The Impeachment Proceedings in the Constitutional Court of Korea
The Constitutional Court of Korea (Hangul/Hanja/Romanization: 헌법재판소/憲法裁判所/Heonbeop Jaepanso) is an independent and specialised court in the Republic of Korea, whose primary role is the reviewing of constitutionality under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. It also has administrative law functions such as ruling on competence disputes between governmental entities, giving final decisions on impeachments, and making judgements on the dissolution of political parties.
The Constitutional Court has exclusive jurisdiction over impeachment proceedings brought against certain high-ranking public officials. In general, impeachment motion is done by the National Assembly; in bicameral countries it is conducted by the upper house, and some countries have a separate Court of Impeachment, but the Korean Constitution endowed exclusive jurisdiction over impeachment to the Constitutional Court.
If the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, members of the State Council or Ministers of Executive Ministries, Justices of the Constitutional Court, judges, members of the National Election Commission, Chairman or commissioners of the Board of Audit and Inspection, or other public officials designated by the law violate the Constitution or other laws in the performance of official duties, the National Assembly may pass a motion for impeachment. The impeachment prosecutor shall request adjudication by presenting to the Constitutional Court an authentic copy of the written resolution of the institution of impeachment. No person against whom a resolution of institution of impeachment is passed shall exercise his or her power until the Constitutional Court makes a decision thereon.
Impeachment adjudication proceeds with the hearings in the main building of the Constitutional Court at 15 Bukchon Avenue/Bukchonno, Jaedong 83-beonji, Seoul Jongno-gu. If the party is not present on the day of the hearings, the date must be reassigned. If the party fails to be present on the reassigned date, the hearing may proceed without the defaulting party. When a request for impeachment is upheld, the Constitutional Court shall pronounce a decision that the accused person be removed from public office. The decision of impeachment does not excuse the official from civil or criminal responsibility. An impeached official cannot become a public official within 5 years.
News about PGH's Impeachment in the Korea Times
Constitutional Court receives baton on impeachment, written by Kim Bo-eun
December 9th 2016, 1709 hours (KST +9)
The Constitutional Court received the baton on President Park Geun-hye's impeachment from the National Assembly after the motion against her was passed, Friday. Rep. Kweon Seong-dong of the Saenuri Party, the chief of the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee, who will defend the impeachment during the court hearings, submitted the resolution to the court.
The court then convened an emergency meeting of justices to discuss its hearing plan. It said the first may begin as early as the end of the month. The court named Judge Kang Il-won as the chief justice of the case. The court also requested the President to submit her written defense by Dec. 16, a preliminary step before hearings. The court is required to make a ruling within six months. But the decision may not come fast, because a number of factors could pose obstacles including an independent counsel investigation into the scandal surrounding her and her confidant Choi Soon-sil, which will be taking place at the same time.
Some observers say it may be difficult for the court to make a ruling before the investigation is concluded, as the allegations are yet to be confirmed as true. The court's previous ruling on the impeachment of former President Roh Moo-hyun was different in that the facts had already been established when the ruling took place. It took only 63 days. Others believe the special prosecutor's probe into the scandal will not affect the court's ruling because the justices will reach a conclusion independently.
The judges will examine whether the President violated the Constitution and laws by letting Choi, who does not hold a government post, meddle in state affairs, handing over classified state information to her, extorting money from conglomerates to benefit Choi, and not being on official duty on the day of the Sewol ferry disaster.
They will be able to examine related evidence. However, an obstacle in the process may be the law on the Constitutional Court which prevents it from requesting records of a case which is currently undergoing investigation or a trial. This will make it difficult for the impeachment ruling to take place before the independent counsel's 100-day investigation ends. The court may summon Park for the hearings, which she can refuse to attend.
Another obstacle may be the retirement of judges. At least seven justices of the nine-member panel are required to make a ruling, and at least six of them need to support the impeachment for it to be accepted. However, two members' terms will expire in January and March, respectively. The President holds the right to appoint the justices, but she has been suspended from duty. But it is not clear whether the prime minister, who will be the acting president, will be able to appoint new judges.
The scope of the acting president's authority is not clear. Among legal experts, there is a prevailing view that it is inappropriate for someone temporarily acting as the president to appoint justices who hold six-year terms.
If new members are not appointed soon enough, the ruling could be made with only seven members. Considering that the seven are mostly conservative, there is the possibility that more than one of them may oppose the impeachment and rule against it. Moreover, if one of the seven justices is unable to take part, the court's ruling will be indefinitely suspended.

President Park Geun-hye's Impeachment Special, Part III: Extraordinary Session with the Moe Representative of Dalseong County about PGH's Impeachment
My fellow Dalseongite Citizens,
Last Friday, the National Assembly decided to impeach our Current President, Park Geun-hye due to several reasons. The decision was one-sided, where 234 Assemblymen favoured to impeach her while the other 56 Assemblymen against it. Despite that, we, as a Korean Republic Citizen must respect to the final decision made by our lawmakers.
For your information, Madam Park Geun-hye was an assemblywoman of Dalseong County, served from 1998 to 2012. We're truly in debt to her in several ways, either in welfare and rural development in the sole county at Daegu Metropole. However, once we've heard the bad news about her scandal with her confidante - Choi Soon-sil and her cronies, our citizens which include the Dalseongites as well, lose our confidence to her, little by little.
The scandal marred by our president caused the big companies such as Hanjin Shipping was bankrupt; awaiting for bailout, making the other countries to lose confidence to invest our country in terms of business and trade and the citizens lost their patience against her and her 'best friend forever', Choi Soon-sil - siphoning our revenues to the confidante's pocket.
We, the Dalseongite citizens had enough with this disgraced president. She betrayed our trust, exposing herself to be controlled by the confidante and absolutely weak compared to her father who administered this country from 1961 to 1979. She is considered to be the seed of failure for all Goryeong Park Clansmen.
I, Guo Jia; under the alias of Kwak Bong-hyo, the Moe-Representative of Dalseong County, Daegu Metropole will not support Park Geun-hye, the impeached president because of the reasons I've mentioned earlier. We will support the acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn to administer this nation for 180 days interval and give a green light to the Constitutional Court to investigate her wrongdoings.
That's all for today, thank you.
President Park Geun-hye's Impeachment Special, Part II: The Disappearance of President Park during Sewol-ho Sinking and BOTOX?
|Well, this is the way to impeach the disgraced current President of the Republic of Korea.
This article is sourced from Ask A Korean.
Park Geun-hye's drug habit may yet resolve the biggest mystery of her administration—what was she doing during the Sewol ferry disaster, one of the greatest man-made disasters in Korea in the last several decades? The news that Sewol-ho was sinking broke around 9 a.m. on April 16, 2014, and the Blue House received a report of it by 10 a.m. But Park Geun-hye did not appear in public until after 5 p.m., when she appeared at the disaster response center. The "missing seven hours" by Park Geun-hye has been this administration's greatest controversy, as the Blue House steadfastly refused for more than two years to disclose what Park Geun-hye was doing for hours while 300 school children from Danwon High School were drowning on live television. If we watch the video via YouTube, the high school students were humming the song entitled 'My Heart will Go On', sang by Celine Dion while the Sewol-ho sunk. Ironically, this song is an insert song for the film 'Titanic' when I was 7 years old! REALLY?
Let's take a look to quick review of the timeline first. The first call for the Sewol ferry came at 8:52 a.m., and the first news report broke at 9:19 a.m. The Blue House claims that it received the first briefing on the accident at 10 a.m. The last survivor from the ferry was rescued around 10:20 a.m. Around 10:30 a.m., Park Geun-hye called the maritime police twice to receive briefing and give directions. Park then took no action until she called the Blue House chief of national security at around 2:11 p.m. Park called the chief at 2:57 p.m., and held the Blue House chiefs meeting at around 4 p.m. Then Park appeared in public for the first time at 5:15 p.m. At the disaster response central, Park Geun-hye appeared clueless, asking why it was so hard for the rescue team to find the students floating with life vests on the water—when it has been clear to the whole country for hours that most of the passengers were trapped in the ship and never made it out.
Several unresolved questions arise from this timeline. First, it is not entirely clear where Park Geun-hye was and what she was doing between the initial report at 10 a.m. and the public appearance at 5:15 p.m. During that seven-hour window, Park Geun-hye did not receive any briefings in person, nor did she give any order in person. She received all reports either via paper reports or over the phone, and gave all directions over the phone. Second, the Blue House stated that Park Geun-hye was at the Blue House residence, which only raises further questions: why would she be at the residence, and not at the main hall of the Blue House where the offices are? Third, even if we believed everything that the Blue House said, there is a 3.5-hour gap in Park Geun-hye's activity between 10:30 a.m. and 2:11 p.m., while the entire country was watching the television, horrified.
According to the latest revelation, Park Geun-hye's personal hair stylist visited the Blue House in the afternoon to fix her hair before Park had to appear before the disaster response center. This, however, still leaves unexplained the 3.5-hour gap in the mid-day. Awww.... come on.... SERIOUSLY?
Once the Choi Soon-sil-gate and Park Geun-hye's drug habit became public, the leading theory of the "missing seven hours" became that the president was under the influence. There are multiple sub-theories. One of them is that Park was asleep under the influence of propofol. The Sewol sank on Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Dr. Kim Yeong-jae, Choi Soon-sil's plastic surgeon, closed his clinic every Wednesday—but nonetheless prescribed propofol dozens of times on Wednesdays from 2014 to 2016, including on April 16, 2014. Another sub-theory speculates that Park Geun-hye was unavailable because she was going through a plastic surgery of some kind, like a Botox injection. Proponents of this theory (who include prominent opposition politicians) claim that Park Geun-hye's face changed significantly between April 15th and April 16th.
Well.... this disgraced president do DRUGS. End quote.

President Park Geun-hye's Impeachment Special, Part I: Background and About Park Geun-hye's Confidante, Choi Soon-sil
Following six weeks of street protests in downtown Seoul and Korean Republic Nationwide since the anniversary of the assassination of Park Geun-hye's father, Park Chung-hee in October 26th 2016 and an approval rating that plunged to just 4%, South Korean President Park Geun-hye was impeached Friday, December 9th 2016 by the nation's National Assembly, signaling an ignominious end to a term that had become mired in a corruption scandal.
The impeachment vote required at least 28 of Park's fellow Saenuri Party lawmakers to cross the aisle to make up the majority two-thirds of the 300-seat legislature. The final vote was 234 to 56 in favor of impeachment. Park is suspended with immediate effect although the vote needs to be ratified by the nation's Constitutional Court within 180 days to become permanent.
The nation's Prime Minister, Hwang Kyo-ahn who was once removed by Park Geun-hye's government - takes over Park's responsibilities in the interim, though Park had already offered to resign if lawmakers voted against her. If she does, new elections must be held within 60 days. Crowds of banner-waving protesters greeted the verdict with cheers outside the chamber.
"President Park Geun-hye has not only forgotten her duty as the nation's leader and administrative chief but also violated the constitution and other laws concerning her public duties," said opposition lawmaker Kim Kwan-young while presenting the impeachment bill.
Who the HELL is Choi Soon-sil?
Park is the 64-year-old daughter of former South Korean military dictator Park Chung-hee, who is credited with spearheading the East Asian nation's rapid economic growth of the 1970s and '80s. She is accused of sharing classified documents with her longtime confidante, Choi Soon-sil.
Choi Soon-sil had known President Park since the 1970s when her father, Choi Tae-min, was then-president Park Chung-hee's mentor while the family was still grieving from the assassination of then first-lady Yook Young-soo. Choi at that time claimed that the shamanic leader can channel communication to her dead mother. Both have remained friends since, even up to the point when Park Geun-hye became president. Park's imperial manner during her tenure has raised suspicions due to her lack of communication with parts of the government and the press.
Choi, who has no official government position, was revealed to have access to confidential documents and information for the president, and acted as a close confidant for the president. Choi and President Park's senior staff used their influence to extort W77.4 billion (~ $774M) from Korean chaebols – family-owned large business conglomerates – setting up two media and sports-related foundations, the Mir and K-sports foundations. She embezzled money during the process, and it is reported that some of them were used to support her daughter Chung Yoo-ra's dressage activities in Germany. She is also accused of rigging the admissions process at Ewha Womans University to help her daughter get accepted at the university. Ahn Jong-bum, a top presidential aide, was arrested for abusing power and helping Choi; he denied wrongdoing and claims he simply followed presidential orders.
On October 25, 2016, Park Geun-hye publicly acknowledged her close ties with Choi. On October 28, Park dismissed key members of her top office staff and Park's opinion rating dropped to 5%, the lowest ever for a sitting South Korean president. Her approval rating ranged from 1 to 3% for Korean citizens under 60 years of age, while it remained higher at 13% for over 60 years age group. This also prompted President Park to fire members of her cabinet and the prime minister of South Korea in order to redirect the public's criticism. In particular, the sacking of the prime minister Hwang Kyo-ahn has resulted in a controversy, due to the claim that his firing had been done via a text message.
Money Laundering, falsified admissions of Choi's daughter... wait... WHAT?
Ms. Choi's previously hidden power over the president suddenly came under intense scrutiny when investigations began into two charitable foundations, Mir and K-Sport, both created in the past one year. In the case of Mir, the Ministry of Culture and Sports approved its establishment overnight; normally it takes a month. The country's top companies donated to them nearly 80 billion KRW through the Korea Federation of Industries, the leading business lobby.
The problem is that these entities were reportedly controlled by Ms. Choi, whose intimates filled the key positions. Some of the money the foundations raised was funneled to at least one company Ms. Choi owns with her daughter in Germany. (The latest tally from the German media is that Ms. Choi owns 14 ghost companies in that country.) This firm bought a hotel near Frankfurt, conveniently close to where Ms. Choi's daughter, an equestrian gold medalist at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, was training until recently and owns a house.
Resembling a princess of some faraway despotic kingdom is this twenty-year-old, Chung Yoo-ra. She lost the top spot at a national championship three years ago, and the police investigated the judges for bias. Two Culture and Sports officials, who subsequently looked into the matter but blamed the fracas on both Ms. Chung and the equestrian association that held the event, were demoted. Ms. Chung became a student at a prestigious South Korean women's university - Ewha Womans University, admitted under questionable circumstances after the university changed its admission criteria, and her attendance record is spotty to say the least. The university president, Choi Kyung-hee resigned on October 20th over the allegations surrounding Ms. Chung.
Early this year, European sources reported that the South Korean electronics giant Samsung even bought a magnificent champion horse, Vitana V, this year for Ms. Chung's use. Such tidbits of information about the family trickled down to the public in the preceding weeks until the cable TV channel JTBC found Ms. Choi's tablet computer. In it were President Park's speeches, received by Ms. Choi before the president officially unveiled them, with edits in red. It also contained other state documents. Naturally, all hell broke loose.
Each day since then has brought new allegations – for they still remain mostly allegations only – about how Blue House secretaries were doing Ms. Choi's biddings; how many government policies Ms. Choi might have dictated; how many real estate holdings, bought with mysterious sources of funding, Ms. Choi has in and out of South Korea; what associates she placed in positions of power; and how she called the president her "sister" in private conversations with others and went so far as to say "I get to enjoy this much because I have stayed loyal to my sis all the way until now."
There have been many glaring signs that Ms. Park is no leader in charge. Two years ago a leaked Blue House document blamed Ms. Choi's husband for running the presidential house like a puppet master. A Japanese newspaper Sankei identified him as the person with whom Ms. Park might have spent seven hours alone, on the fateful day of the Sewol ferry sinking. In response, prosecutors tried the reporter for defamation. Perhaps this was an indication of the president's sensitivity to the matter. And frankly, the few who spoke out against the power of the Choi-Chung clan over Ms. Park have seemed like a raving lunatic, considering how absurd the charge – that Ms. Park was so utterly in thrall to a single family – sounded.

Leeds United will return to Tadcaster Albion for a pre-season fixture, it has been confirmed.
New Leeds boss Garry Monk will bring a squad to face the part-time NCEL title winners at the i2i Stadium on Tuesday night (kick-off 7.30pm).
The Whites brought a squad of numerous first team players last season and won the corresponding fixture 3-0.
Tadcaser assistant manager Matt Heath, who played for Leeds between 2006 and 2008, is expecting a squad of fringe players with "three or four" established names.
Heath said: "Last year was a success and they brought a decent squad, which made it a great occasion at the i2i.
"I'm sure this year will be very similar. I imagine it's going to be a good game and a great test four our lads. They all know it's coming up and I'm sure they will want to be fresh for it."
The match will be Tadcaster's third of their busy pre-season schedule, which saw them reunited against former boss Paul Marshall and NCEL side Pickering Town away last night.
A late Adam Baker strike gave Albion victory on 'champions day' against Hemsworth Miners Welfare on Saturday, after Conor Sellars had levelled in the first half direct from a free-kick.

A pair of friends makes art and much, much more.
Tiz is a ginger cat; she draws with a big multicolored pencil. Ott is a little donkey; he paints with a big fuzzy brush. Tiz has finished drawing their house and starts on the garden, Ott makes a big "splodge" of sun and heads for a nap, but not before Tiz asks him to tone down the sun a little, which he does with a blue cloud. Tiz, however, sees the possibilities for cooling rain and, taking Ott's brush, bolts of lightning with attendant thunderclaps. They need to draw and paint themselves out of the ensuing storm, complete with a ladder Tiz keeps adding rungs to (it's a long foldout). The colors are rich, clear, crayon-y hues, and the pair's delight in what they are making is reflected on every page. Of course, they are also making a vivid mess, and they rejoice in that, too. The dialogue is minimal and simple, though not without crunch; the vocabulary expands considerably as the pair works, illustrating "splatter" and "dollop," "scumble" and "doodle," and many other whimsically descriptive art terms. A double-page spread near the end illustrates how to draw both Tiz and Ott.
A fine way to encourage artistic license for the very youngest of makers, many of whom can probably read this one themselves. (Picture book. 4-8)

Between 1941 and 1944, the Germans murdered over 100,000 people in this forest. The killings began when 5,000 Jewish men were rounded up in my Grandmother's hometown of Vilnius and taken to Paneriai to be shot. By year-end 21,700 Jews has been killed, often with willing Lithuanian helpers. My Grandmother tells me that as her family was leaving the city, forever, they heard shots and screams from deep within Paneriai. She also says that the Lithuanians and Poles could tell who was Jewish and who wasn't but the Germans couldn't. They used to betray them, she said, not because their personal safety was at risk but for the reward of a bottle of vodka.
Also, among the first victims were 7,500 Soviet prisoners of war shot in 1941.

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
At Am Farmers Sanctuary, we take the dumped, the unwanted, and even the most broken animals that many other shelters would give up on. We see the best in every animal we encounter and work our hardest to help every single one find its forever home- no matter what special needs it may have. During their time with us, be it short or long, our animals become part of our extended family at Am Farmers Sanctuary.
At Am Farmers Sanctuary, our main goal is to help every animal find its forever home. In an area where so many animals are dumped, we seek to inform our community about the responsibilitie s of having a pet. Our job will not be complete until animals are no longer dumped or abandoned in our area.
As a small, private animal sanctuary in Clyde, Texas, we do not have a large amount of financial support. However, we make the most with what we have and adopt out over two hundred animals a year. We work purely on donations and the money from each adoption goes to support other animals in our care. Our future plans are to maintain the amount of animals we can currently hold and then to expand into a larger, higher functioning facility to house any abandoned or dumped animals on their way to finding a forever home.

Surrounding Areas - Carrisa Plains
Fifty miles inland from the California Coast the Carrisa Plains are bounded on the west by the Caliente Mountains and by the Temblor Range on the east. The only road running through the valley, largely dirt, connects Highway 166 on the south with Highway 58 on the north. It is a long, empty, and dusty road to "nowhere." There are no accidental visitors. Cut off from the rest of California, few people know the geography or history of this place.
The southern part of the Carrisa Plains is drier than the north, farming is more precarious, and by 1980 the greater part of these lands had been sold to the Oppenheimer Corporation who sold stock to investors who need tax write-offs. When tax laws changed, Oppenheimer was happy to sell their lands to either the federal government or else to The Nature Conservancy which in turn sold them to the federal government. This was not without controversy. The newly federal lands were no longer available for leasing as they had once been, and farmers north of Highway 58 who had depended upon these leases were financially pressed through no fault of their own. When farming in the south ended and grazing became limited, the flora changed, some wildlife species suffered, and sandhill cranes which had migrated through the Plains for years no longer arrived.
Perhaps the first great change to arrive on the Carrisa Plains was the creation of California Valley. In 1964 a developer bought the 7500 acre Chicote Ranch just south of 58 and divided it into two-and-a half acre parcels. These were promoted all over the state as a retirement paradise. The cost was $10 down with payments of $10 a month. The promotion effort was spectacular even by standards of the 21st century, and the lots sold. Paradise, however, is still a work in progress. Water quality is poor, if it is available at all, and municipal services are minimal. Their is no local government; it is administered as a part of San Luis Obispo County. Most lots are still vacant, but on the other hand it is quiet, the sky is huge, and city distractions are an hour away. Perhaps paradise depends on the beholder.

Consumer habits have just taken an interesting turn thanks to recent developments in Japan involving fingerprint shopping. Now, this isn't referring to shopping for fingerprints -- which would seem like an underground business if there ever was one -- but instead shopping by fingerprints. Foregoing cards and chips all together, the country is experimenting with the technology in a few places right now.
Currently available in 300 locations in a handful of areas (Atami, Hakone, Kamakura and Yugawara), fingerprint shopping hopes to expand nationwide by 2020, right when Tokyo is hosting the Summer Olympics. Of course safety and security is also a high issue. People won't like the idea of the government being able to track your shopping habits and more.

If you have an Android tablet but love the cool new Windows 8 Metro style user interface which is going to be released on the upcoming Windows 8 tablet, you do not have to worry any more. Because the Windows 8 Metro user interface has been brought to Android itself. Yes, Splashtop, the company behind the port, has brought a Windows 8 Metro Test bed on to Android. Interested Androiders can now download the app from the Google Play Store and start playing with it. The company had released the same Windows 8 Metro Test bed for iPad way back in April. I do not know why there has been a delay for Android, but any way, it is finally here.
To use the app on your Android tablet, you will need Windows 8 Release Preview installed on your computer. If you are worried about spending money on that now, you can relax as the Release Preview is available for free directly from Microsoft. You can download it from here. Once you take care of this, you will be able to download the Windows 8 Metro Test bed on your tablet from the Google Play Store and enjoy the new look you got for your Android tablet. Hothardware writes:
Among the features available for perusal is swiping to the left to switch apps, pulling up the Charms menu with a right-swipe, closing an app by swiping from the top, the ability to run to apps side-by-side with a slow left swipe, multi-touch gestures, and pinch-to-zoom.
When you are getting such an awesome app, you will have to shell out some money, that is inevitable. So yes, this is not a free app. And if you are wondering how much you will have to pay, it is $49.99. Yes, that is pretty high. But the app is now on sale for just $24.99. That is a sweet bargain. So if you are interested, head over to Google Play Store here. Watch the video preview below to see how awesome the app is.

How To Make A Remote Control Helicopter
Building a remote control helicopter is a fun-filled hobby, so let's get started right away on how to make a remote control helicopter. No doubt it is an intimidating task, but with the correct set of tools and the right instructions, you can proceed towards it with confidence and become a proud owner of the end product achieved by you. So, once you have the set of instructions ready, the next thing to do is collect the whole range of tools needed to build your remote control helicopter. Also, one needs to decide on which model of helicopter to build. Once you get down to flying the model built, the skill level required for any and every model is the same. It is best to chose to build the model which appeals the most to you as per your personal tastes and requirements.
To make a remote control helicopter, you will need:
- Nut drivers
- Ball drivers
- Screw driver
- Pliers
- Set of wrenches
- All kind of nuts and bolts
- Glow plugs
- Pitch gauge
The step by step process in making a remote control helicopter is as follows:
- Purchase a ready to make remote control helicopter kit from the super market and check its contents. Also, make sure to read and understand all instructions in the manual which comes along before you begin to make the assembly.
- Attach the landing mechanism and then move on to installing the radio device.
- Join the radio device to the servos and make an adjustment to the servo connection as per the given instructions. A servo may not come in the ready to make kit and may have to be bought separately.
- Install the gyro and fasten the wires to the frame. Mount the switch to the radio device away from the engine exhaust port.
- Tighten all nuts and bolts and ensure all these fasteners are secure.
- Mount and balance the rotor blades on the rotor heads. Make sure these are 180 degrees apart. If required, may use a balancing tape to balance.
- Clean the model's surface and then paint it. Apply a couple of coats to give a good color.
It is a good idea to fly a remote control helicopter only in an open area. Also, you can mark the blades with colorful tape so that these can be distinguished when in air. Before flying a remote controlled helicopter, make sure that its batteries are fully charged.

Dr. Michael J. Hurdzan, ASGCA
Hurdzan Golf Course Design
"I had no in-field experience with ZLINE Bunker Systems before my inspection of seven Houston (TX) area golf courses following Hurricane Harvey. I came away impressed by the relatively healthy condition of those sand bunkers employing the ZLINE Bunker System after 40"-50" of rain, flooding and hurricane conditions. Damage to unlined bunkers was devastating, and in many instances, will require completely rebuilding them to be playable again.
The bunkers lined with ZLINE Bunker Systems generally held their shape, edge and drainage integrity. The ZLINE bunkers required minimal work to shift any displaced sand back in place or to remove washed in debris. It is good for golf to have a company offering innovative products at a price point that makes bunker protection affordable."
Todd Stephens, CGCS
Superintendent, Tour 18 Houston
"Here at Tour 18 Houston, our new bunkers with ZLINE Bunkers Systems handled Hurricane Harvey's 42" of rainfall and flooding with no issues. We have gone from spending hours to spending minutes repairing bunkers and has proven itself to be very cost effective reducing labor and material costs."

Minimal marking times for maximal throughput.
With the ALLMARK APS – no problem
More Information
- Applications
- APS E (pdf, 996.33 kB)
The high-performance TEA CO2 mask marker marks small surfaces with extreme precision and in the shortest times with use-by and manufacturing dates, batch and serial numbers or logos and graphics. Single- and multiple-line markings are applied to such widely diverse products as electronic components, glasses, bottles and packaging of all kinds. The special feature here is: fast-moving products – such as in beverage lines – are coded by the ALLMARK APS faster than with any other laser marker. Individual products can be marked in 1 to 2 microseconds in the highest marking quality, because – in contrast to the dot-matrix or stroke processes - the system is practically insensitive to product vibration.
Throughput, reliability, user-friendliness and economy are unsurpassed with the ALLMARK APS. Because: beneath the surface of the marker is a sophisticated technology incorporating microprocessor control of all relevant system functions, including self-diagnosis and the new ALLTEC Power Switch, a world-first, solid-state switch for high-voltage laser discharge. A wide spectrum of masks is available to meet varying marking requirements: rectangular and disc masks, single and stacked masks, manual and automatic mask systems, and mask systems featuring pendulum mirrors for large marking fields.
Integration: ALLMARK APS has been optimized for integration into lines and product handlers such as labelers. These systems work in purely pharmaceutical lines just as reliably as in the most adverse environments with temperature extremes, dust and vapors or high air humidity. Operation: ALLMARK APS is set up and operated directly in the line via a hand-operated console or online via an external device such as a central computer, SPS or PC. After only a short introduction, operators can quickly and reliably set up and operate the laser marker and just as quickly and reliably service it.
Worldwide, the ALLTEC Laser Business Unit is one of the few and at the same time most important manufacturer of this highly efficient and low-maintenance marking process.
Laser type
High-performance TEA CO2 laser marker
Model dependent, max. 65 watts
Marking Speed
Max. 180,000 markings/ hour (= 50 per second, application dependent) > 1 marking = content of 1 mask

Main Areas of Use
Marking fast-moving products, in particular in the beverage industry
Glass, plastics, papers, cardboards, cardboard packaging, coated metals

In association with
The academy sessions offer all players with a range of ability levels the opportunity to participate in an atmosphere geared to learning through fun and engagement, whilst developing knowledge of the tactical and technical side of the game.
The sessions are for all children aged 4-16 and each child will participate within their own age group, with a maximum of 14 players per coach to ensure the players receive quality, one to one and group time with their coach.
The sessions are broken down into 3 sections. The warm up focuses on technical play, dribbling, turns, skills and ball manipulation in which the children will receive a ball each/ball between two. The focus is on mastering the basic techniques, thus providing a platform for further development.
The second part of the session will be broken down over a period of 10-12 weeks across, dribbling, passing and shooting. The players will learn a variety of techniques and skills across the three main components of football, over a period of 3-4 weeks at a time.
The final part of the session will see the players enter into a competitive match in which the players will be asked to develop the skills they learned during the session and incorporate them into a competitive match environment.
Advanced Squad – Aimed at those players who have mastered the technical skills required to progress to the top level in football. The Advanced players will show an excellent understanding of their role within the team, in terms of positional play and tactical awareness. The Advanced players will be able to show that they get the key decisions within training sessions and matches correct, and show an ability to adapt through the quality of their technical play to play numerous positions within the team. The Advanced players will train twice per week, and play regular competitive matches against other academies in the UAE.
Development Squad – Aimed at those players who show good technical ability and tactical awareness above and beyond players participating in the recreational sessions. The sessions are aimed at those players looking to improve their skills with likeminded players of the same / similar ability level in an environment based on delivering the key information for players to improve their decision making within technical/tactical coaching sessions and small sided games. The Development Squad players will train twice per week as a squad and will play regular competitive matches against other academies in the UAE.

Every so often, I feel the tug to repeat something that's important and bears reflection. I feel that desire reading a passage from Aisha North's latest message, if you'd permit me. Aisha's sources say:
"The light is there to help you see better, but the light cannot tell you what to do, or even, what to see. For that is you and you alone who are able to understand the signals and the not so discreet hints coming your way that will point you in the right direction. But it is your choice to open up to what you see, and to act accordingly." (1)
I think it would be hard to understand that passage without remembering the purpose and design of life.
The purpose of life is for us divine sparks to recognize, remember or realize the truth of our nature – to remember that we are God. As one well-known guide said many years ago: "The whole purpose of incarnation is this slow evolution of the spirit, its awakening in matter, to self-consciousness and God consciousness." (2)
The process that allows us to achieve that purpose has three steps: (1) discriminating between the Real and the unreal, (2) detaching ourselves from the unreal, and (3) devoting ourselves to the Real. I think of this as the basic spiritual discipline.
The light is there to help us see better, to be sure. But the purpose of life wouldn't be served if the light actually showed us what to do. If that were the case, then discrimination would not result. Life would be an automatic process of us seeking the light and the light doing our work for us by sitting in for our own native though undeveloped powers of discrimination.
Krishna discussed the situation we face in the Bhagavad-Gita. What he describes is what life is like when we fail to follow the three steps. This is the opposite, I think, of what we might think of as the spiritual life.
"Thinking about sense-objects
Will attach you to sense-objects;
Grow attached, and you become addicted;
Thwart your addiction, it turns to anger;
Be angry, and you confuse the mind;
Confuse your mind, you forget the lesson of experience;
Forget experience, you lose discrimination;
Lose discrimination, and you miss life's only purpose." (3)
Here "sense-objects" represent the ephemeral, the unreal. Grow attached to sense-objects and we forget the purpose of life. When we become addicted to the unreal, we forget the primary lesson of experience: that no addiction to anything unreal lasts long or satisfies us completely or forever.
Buddha called our lives an endless cycle of desire. We fasten on one desire and follow it until it pales and then replace it with a new desire. Round and round this circle we go, seemingly forever, pulled onward by the subsensible longing for God but not recognizing it for what it is. (4)
Our answer to the longing is to fill it with sensory objects and experiences. But these fail to satisfy us completely. Only the experience of God can do that.
We can know what it's "right" to do, spiritually speaking, and still prefer the pleasurable. Why is it so hard to do the right thing? Exactly because the "wrong" pursuits bring pleasure.
The Upanishads suggest: "The wise prefer the good to the pleasant; the foolish, driven by fleshly desires, prefer the pleasant to the good." (5) We can find ourselves caught in the desire cycle.
It's said that we cannot escape our addiction to sense-objects until it falls away of itself through total satiation with the pleasurable in life. Once our thirst is slaked and our hunger is satiated, we begin our search for a more permanent form of satisfaction.
The student being ready, the teacher will arrive and learn why life was created. We may then ask ourselves how to fulfill the purpose for which life was created.
At that point, the three steps to liberation – to discriminate between the Real and the unreal, to detach ourselves from the unreal, and to devote ourselves to the Real – become known to us and important. They offer the means of escape from the wheel of life. We're now ready to master them. We can say, with Buddha:
"I have been wounded by the enjoyment of the world, and I have come out longing to obtain peace; I would not accept an empire free from all ill even in the third heaven, how much less amongst men?" (6)
Nothing is lost by spending more time amid the sense-objects and pleasures of the Third Dimension. Except the bliss and fulfilment available to us on the higher planes of life. For some life sees slow progress and for others more rapid progress. But no judgment attaches to either.
The light now helps us but it won't take the place of or usurp our own choosing.
Even now, as the light quotients rise on the planet, we see that people are left to open to the light or not, as they choose. Ascension isn't forced on anyone. Those who don't choose Ascension will spend more time in Third Dimensionality and then be presented with the choice again.

Split EP (Redemption/Doghouse)
by Lauren Bussard
The first time I heard Motion City Soundtrack was when I saw them open for the All-American Rejects at a tiny club here in Boston - and I was completely blown away. Now, I'm not sure if my excitement perhaps had something to do with the six kamikazes (and two beers) that I had, but nevertheless, after suffering through The Sun's whiny opening set, when Motion City Soundtrack took to the stage and delivered an energetic mix of anthemic rock and melodic synth-pop, I was practically bouncing off the walls. Lead singer Justin Pierre has the same endearing stage presence as Dismemberment Plan singer Travis Morrison, which I couldn't help but think over and over again as I watched Pierre playing his keyboard and singing his heart out - all with a sweet goofy smile on his face.
Shortly after the show, Motion City Soundtrack released three songs (on a six-song split with Austin's Schatzi) on Doghouse, and I was overjoyed to discover that despite the kamikazes, I had indeed judged Motion City Soundtrack's talent correctly, and that on CD they were just as good as they were live. Schatzi, for their part, also contributes three great songs to the split, two of which ("Coreopsis" and "Arithmetic's Collapse") evoke the same energy as Motion City Soundtrack's tracks, yet are less poppy and more moody. Schatzi's third track, an amazing cover of Journey's "Any Way You Want It," is both hilarious and flawless.
Motion City Soundtrack's first full-length album, I Am The Movie, lives up to the standard they set for themselves during their live show and on their EP, but now that they're signed with big dogs Epitaph, their tracks sound even better. The only song from the split that actually made it onto the full-length, "Capital H" (an ode to pseudo-superheroes), is obviously re-recorded and re-mastered, yet it only sounds clearer and enhanced, not in any way (as is always a possibility with the major labels) over-worked. The first single off the new album is "The Future Freaks Me Out," which is probably the catchiest song on the record, yet still heartfelt and simple enough to not be annoying. The best line of the song, which makes me smile every time, is the overly silly, "What's up with Will and Grace?/ I don't get drum and bass'/ The future freaks me out." Yeah, who really gets drum and bass anyway? And with Motion City Soundtrack around, who needs it?

Paraskevidekatriaphobics is quite a mouthful. But what it means is relatively simple. An irrational, terrible fear of Friday the 13th. It's claimed by some to be the most widespread superstition in the U.S., even to the extent that studies have been done to try and confirm the fear. One in the UK showed a supposed higher risk of hospitalization due to car accidents on Friday the 13th as compared to other Fridays.
There are a lot of reasons people have for why the number 13 is unlucky. The two most common being that there were 13 at The Last Supper and Judas, being the first to rise, was the first to die. Also that the raid on the Knights Templar was planned for October 13, 1307, a Friday the 13th.
However, despite studies and reasons like these, I have no fear of this day. One reason? It's my birthday! I also turned 13 on a Friday the 13th, and everything was extremely pleasant. So whether or not you have triskaidekaphobia (and if you do, here's some helpful hints to get over it), make sure to have a safe and wonderful day!

A diaphragm pump transfers liquids at a variety of speeds using either compressed air or a motor. Diaphragm pumps transfer liquids of all velocities, including ones with large solids content. The pumps are capable of handling liquids with aggressive chemicals, such as acid depending on the materials used to complete their construction.
There are a variety of different diaphragm pump styles made from a vast array of manufacturers. Each pump style offers a unique set of features that offer both advantages and disadvantages depending on what the intended use is for the pump.
Air-operated diaphragm pumps
These pumps use compressed air to operate. The units include two chambers with a diaphragm that shifts air from one chamber to the other, forcing liquid from one chamber into a discharge piping system while the other chamber fills with liquid. These pumps offer a slight pulsating in the discharge flow.
Small motor driven diaphragm pumps
These diaphragm pumps are equipped with inlet and outlet ports with flow rates that range from 1 to 7 gallons per minute. Most pumps this size create a pressure of 60 to 100 pounds per square inch. The design with these two pumps generally come in two styles, a "demand" style and a "by-pass style." The demand style offers a built-in pressure switch and the by-pass style offers a discharge valve that can be shut off, but there is a risk of overheating the liquid if the valve is shut off for several minutes.

This weekend Gavin and I made our first beer can chicken. For those of you not in the know, this involves setting your chicken on top of an opened can of beer and grilling it for a while over indirect heat.
Our chicken was from our first CSA pick-up, which made this extra exciting. It was also our first time using wood chips in conjunction with our new grill.
The basic directions, adapted from Cooks Illustrated:
- Light your charcoal.
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towels and rub it with a spice rub all over, inside and out. We used store-bought beer can chicken rub because it was on super-sale for Memorial Day weekend.
- Fifteen minutes before the coals are ready, soak 2 cups of wood chips in water. When the fifteen minutes are up, drain these and wrap them in a foil packet with holes punched in the top.
- Open a beer and drink/pour out about 1/4 cup. Punch two more holes in the top of the beer can.
- Put your charcoal in the grill on two opposite sides of a disposable 13×9″ roasting pan. Set the wood chips on one of them. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Put the chicken in the middle of the grill, sitting up on the beer can using the legs to make a tripod, and cover.
- Cook for 1 – 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is temping at 160˚ in the breast and 175˚ in the thighs.
- Take it off the grill, drape with foil, and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Carve and serve!
Here's a photo of the chicken and the beer can waiting for the grill to heat up:
And here are some much tastier-looking photos of the finished product.

A Television Program Organizer (Lady) went to make an Interview with a farmer seeking the main reason that caused Cow Madness (Mad Cow disease).
The Lady : Good evening Sir, we are here to collect information about the reason that causes Cow Madness. Do you have any idea what might be the reason??
The Farmer, stared at the lady and said, "Do you know that the Bull fucks the cow once a year?
The Lady getting embarrassed: "Well sir, that's a new piece of information, but what's the relation between this phenomena and Cow Madness?
The Farmer : Well Mam, do you know that we milk the Cow FOUR times a day!!!
The Lady : Sir this is really valuable information, but what about getting to the point!
The Farmer : I am getting to the point Mam. Just imagine, if I am playing with your Tits FOUR TIMES A DAY and FUCKING YOU ONCE A YEAR, won't you get Mad??
Froggy Business
A beautiful, well-endowed, young blonde goes to her local pet store in search of an exotic pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box full of frogs. The sign on the box says: "Oral Sex" Frogs! Only $20 each! Money Back Guarantee (Comes with complete instructions).
The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching her and whispers softly to the man behind the counter, "I'll take one." The man packaged the frog and said, "Just follow the instructions carefully." The girl nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home.
As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, the girl takes out the instructions and reads them thoroughly, doing exactly what it says to do.
1. Take a shower.
2. Splash on some nice smelling perfume.
3. Slip into on a very sexy teddy.
4. Crawl into bed spread your legs and put the frog down "there".
She then quickly gets into bed, puts the frog between her legs and ... to her surprise, nothing happens! The girl is totally frustrated and quite upset at this point. She rereads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper it says, "If you have any problems or questions please call the pet store."
So, the girl calls the pet store. The man says, "I had some complaints earlier today. I'll be right over." Within five minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell.
The girl welcomes him in and says, "See, I've done everything according to the instructions and the damn thing just sits there." The man, looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes and sternly says: "Listen to me! I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time!"
More Sexy Jokes
A Television Program Organizer (Lady) went to make an Interview with a farmer seeking the main reason that caused Cow Madness (Mad Cow disease).
There was a Chinese father who was very close to his son. They used to go everywhere together including looking for "chicken" (Chinese slang for prostitute).
One day, the son decided to go overseas for study. The father was very supportive, and before his son left, the father told him, "We cannot look for chicken together for the next few years. However, if you need to look for chicken, please go ahead and I will pay for it.
But please state the expense as 'Shooting Bird' so that your mother will not suspect."
So the son left, and after a month, the father received the bill from the son......(shooting bird - $500). Subsequently, and for the next few months, the bill for shooting bird is more than $1000.
Well, the father could not tolerate this, so he wrote to his son. "Son, you have been shooting too expensive bird, try some cheaper one."
A month later, the father received another bill from his son. On it he had written:
Shooting Bird - $50
Rifle Repair - $2,000
A guy is going on a tour of a factory that produces various latex products. At the first stop, he is shown the machine that manufactures baby-bottle nipples. The machine makes a loud "hiss-pop" noise. "The hiss is the rubber being injected into the mold," explains the guide. "The popping sound is the needle poking a hole in the end of the nipple."
Later, the tour reaches the part of the factory where condoms are manufactured. The machine makes a "Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. Hiss-pop" noise. "Wait a minute!" says the man taking the tour. "I understand what the 'hiss, hiss,' is, but what's that 'pop' every so often?"
"Oh, it's just the same as in the baby-bottle nipple machine," says the guide. It pokes a hole in every fourth condom."
"Well, that can't be good for the condoms!"

I'm not a terribly sentimental person, and I have a pretty healthy cynical streak. But since having a kid, my heart rips open anytime I see something bad happen to a child. I can't watch any movie that features endangered kids, and I bought Heavy Rain but could never bring myself to play it because I know that bad things happening to kids is a key compenent of the story line.
The Mass Effect E3 demo featured a lot of the things one would expect in a Mass Effect E3 demo. Hulking spaceships, hefty weapons, grotesque slimy enemies, overmuscled over-armored soldiers. (Spoiler alert starting here.)
It also featured one scared little boy hiding in a duct. When Commander Shepard tried to talk him out so he could help him get to safety, but the boy was too frightened to come out and disappeared back into the duct.
The little boy didn't make an appearance again until the very end of the demo as Commander Shepard was leaving Earth on the Normandy. As he watched from the Normandy, humans were jumping into Alliance ships to escape from the Reapers that were littered across the city. The little boy ran out, and for a moment it looked like he wouldn't reach the ship safely. But I cheered inside as he clambered up the ledge of the ship, swinging his right leg up to safety. The door closed, and the ship took off for safety.
And then a Reaper obliterated the ship with a death beam, and the ship broke into burning hunks.
It took all I had to keep from breaking into sobs right there, and I wasn't able to keep a few tears from leaking out. (And I've started tearing up again right now while writing this.)
I know this much, though: I am going to make those Reapers f-ing pay in 2012.

The Caddo Herald
April 9, 1920
Some Building in Spite of High Prices
Caddo has considerable building going on, notwithstanding high prices of material and labor.
R. W. Wilson is preparing to erect a gin on the old gin stand just east of the railroad.
D. M. Wilson is repairing his gin.
The Caddo Cotton Oil Co. has bought machinery for doubling their capacity. The work will start as soon as the machinery arrives.
The Caddo Mebane Cotton Seed Co. will double their capacity, putting gin four new stands. Thus Caddo's ginning capacity will be increased by twelve stands for the 1920 crop, equivalent to ten bales per hour in regular season.
M. L. Tanner has the side walls and roof on his new residence on Buffalo Street. This will be a complete and comfortable home when completed.
The town is having some dirt hauled to fill in some rough places on the streets. The Commercial Association will make some plans to do some street and road work right away. The membership is now 102 and by taking over the work of the Bigger Caddo Club, they can do some pretty good work.
Several more oil rigs are expected in the next few days. This ought to furnish plenty employment to all who want it. Meantime the farmers have their lands in good shape. Oats have come up to a good stand. Corn is up, and cotton ready to plant, just waiting for warm weather.
Oil Well Had Some Luck- Lost a Bit
Drilling operations have been suspended the past ten days in the McCoy well on account of losing a bit and failure to catch it again.
The drillers have worked hard and long trying to get the lost piece of metal an since it is in hard rock they cannot push it out of the way and drill around it.
Without going into technicalities about it, the driller, Mr. Holcomb, says that if he is not successful in getting it out soon he will start another hole close to this one. This would mean drilling some 700 feet more, but that may be faster and cheaper than trying further to get out this bit.
The Riddels Company and several others to whom they have assigned leases feel very confident that this is good oil territory and are sure of striking oil in paying quantities very close to the present depth of the hole.
Mr. Holcomb stated Wednesday that they had abandoned this hole, would skid the derrick south 22 feet and start a new hole Saturday.

November 2, 1928
The Turn of the Tide
Thus far Governor Smith has been campaigning in the States where he is least well known and therefore in territory where the underground propaganda has been most effective. His success has been amazing. No competent observer can have any doubt that the contrast between Mr. Hoover's silences, evasions, and irrelevances on the one hand, and Governor Smith's plain speaking on the other, has made a profound impression on the voters, declares the New York World.
Everywhere the question is being asked: What keeps Herbert Hoover from speaking his mind? Why can't he say what he thinks about water power, farm relief, prohibition? Why does he have to make a fake issue out of the tariff? Why do his spellbinders have to misrepresent Governor Smith's position on immigration? Why, when every intelligent business man knows it is absurd, does Mr. Hoover, who eight years ago appealed for a Democratic Congress, now pretend to believe that the Republican have a patent on prosperity? In less than a month of campaigning, Governor Smith has unsettled, exposed, and discredited the Republican campaign strategy. He has already reversed the whole trend of opinion in the South and West.
The Republicans, who thought that the South would change its allegiance to the Democratic Party at the behest of Southern bigots and fanatics, must know by this time that Bishop Cannon, Dr. Straton, and Mrs. Willebrandt have failed. Southern leaders know better than anyone else that to turn over their States to the so-called Hoover Democrats is to surrender to the worst elements in their communities. The border States from West Virginia to Oklahoma are fighting ground; the bigots and fanatics have done their worst and the liberals are on the offensive. In the West, from Wisconsin to Colorado, the whole Progressive vote, which followed Roosevelt, Wilson, and LaFollette, has been moving steadily toward Smith since the Omaha speech.
The Republicans know all this quite well, and in the last ten days they have done their best to conceal the greatness of the tide toward Smith by a propaganda of defeatism among the band-wagon voters.
For an historical parallel it is necessary to go back to the victory of Andrew Jackson in 1832 and of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. For today, as in those two epochal campaigns, a multitude of American voters, hitherto disregarded by the party in power, have found a champion and a program. No deposer studying the figures of 1924 and 1920 can possibly calculate the consequences of the uprising in the West and in the East of millions of silent voters whom the Republican Party has treated as second-class citizens.
All that anybody can say is that the tide has turned toward Smith and that with courage, intelligence, and candor, the victory can be won.

J. Cutshaw, striking him on the leg, but only making a blue spot. The men, judging from their actions, were old hands at the business, but had evidently miscalculate the time that #3 was due. They had evidently intended to hold up the southbound Katy train, but the two men with their horses failed to meet the one who came down on the train and they were thus unable to carry out their designs.

A series of photos released on social media shows Syrian rebels looting the gold chain and other belongings from the body of dead Russian pilot Lieutenant-Colonel Oleg Peshkov, 45, who will be awarded the Star of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously by President Vladimir Putin.
One image shows a Syrian rebel holding the locket over the body of the pilot, which is seen lying in a pickup truck. Another shows the closeup of the gold locket, which has Virgin Mary and Child Jesus embossed on it.
The images were published on Twitter account of the television channel run by the Free Syrian Army with a caption: "The dead Russian pilot."
Lieutenant-Colonel Oleg Peshkov was the commander of Su-24 shot down by Turkey on Tuesday.
Another set of photos released by the rebels shows puncture wounds on the chest and face of the slain Russian pilot, caused by the bullets fired by the Syrain rebels as the pilots parachuted from their crippled plane. [Watch Video].
Lieutenant-Colonel Peshkov and his co-pilot Captain Konstantin Murahtin were forced to eject from their Su-24 after it was shot down by the rebels. The co-pilot, however, was able to make it back to friendly area and was picked up by the Syrian army before he was flown off to a Russian airbase on Wednesday.
Russia to honour pilots
On Wednesday, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced that the crew of the Russian Sukhoi Su-24 bomber would receive state awards, reported Tass.
"The plane commander will be awarded with the Star of the Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously," said Putin. Co-pilot Captain Konstantin Murahtin will get also be honoured, he added.
Russia has said it lost another soldier — Naval Infantry Soldier Alexandr Pozynich — on Tuesday. He was killed during the rescue operation from rebel firing, while his helicopter was searching for the Russian pilots. He is to be awarded the Order of Courage (Pozynich posthumously).
