Copper Falls State Park is a 3,068-acre (1,242 ha) state park in Wisconsin. The park contains a section of the Bad River and its tributary the Tylers Forks, which flow through a gorge and drop over several waterfalls. Old Copper Culture Indians and later European settlers mined copper in the area. The state park was created in 1929 and amenities were developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. In 2005 the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a site with 10 contributing properties. [2]
Activities and amenities
- Loon Lake: The lake offers swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and boating with electric motors only. Trout fishing can be found on the Bad River and Tylers Forks. [3]
- Trails: The park has 17 miles (27 km) of trails including a portion of the North Country National Scenic Trail. Trails are used for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. [3]
- Camping: The campground has 24 sites with electric hookups. A camper cabin is accessible to persons with disabilities. [4]
Copper Falls Park lies near the west end of the Penokee-Gogebic Mineral Range, a ridge of rock formations that stretches from Ashland County 80 miles to Lake Gogebic in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Copper was mined in the area during the Civil War, and in the 1880s there were two copper mines near where the log footbridge now is. [5] Around 1900 Wells M. Ruggles had a crew digging for copper at what is now the southeast corner of the picnic grounds. The Bad River repeatedly filled his shaft with water, so he dynamited rock to divert the river. [6]
Ashland County was heavily logged from 1886 to 1920, stripping both pine and hardwood and leaving a wasteland of stumps and brush. Some of this cutover land was sold to immigrants to farm, but the acidic soil left by pine forests and the short summers of northern Wisconsin made it difficult to grow many crops, and many farms were abandoned by the 1920s and 30s, leaving the area vulnerable to fire and erosion. [5]
In 1907 Ruggles and his Ashland County Land Company sold 130 acres around the falls to investors from St. Louis. In the following years, local efforts were made to improve the site for visitors. The county improved the road to the park, and in 1922 WWI vets Nick Stilin and Henry Kritz built three swinging footbridges for viewing the falls. During summers, Mr. and Mrs. August Froming sold food and drink at the falls. [5]
The state of Wisconsin bought 520 acres at the falls in 1929 and additional land in 1935. Starting in 1933, Mayor Maxeiner of Mellen and Congressman B.J. Gehrmann pushed the Conservation Commission in Madison to assign a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp to develop a park at Copper Falls. In 1935, a master plan for a park was completed by a team of surveyors, landscape architects, architects and engineers from various government agencies. The park was a challenge to design, since the roads and trails had to work around the river gorges and ravines. [5]
CCC Company D-692 moved into Camp Copper Falls in November 1935. They were 164 men - mostly young men from Illinois - including masons, carpenters, furniture makers, and blacksmiths. Before Copper Falls, they had worked on Giant City State Park in southern Illinois. In the following 23 months they built Copper Falls' recreational lodge, its granite fireplaces, its benches and tables. They started building the contact station, built a pump house, built water reservoirs, built the observation tower, laid water lines, and ran telephone and electric lines. They cleared areas for parking, camping and picnicking. They cleared park trails and roads (removing many stumps in the process), built log footbridges, and lots of guardrail. In the summer of 1936 northern Wisconsin saw a bad drought, and the CCCs focused on fire suppression in the surrounding area. The camp closed in September 1937. [5]
After the CCC left, work continued under the WPA - another New Deal program which employed unemployed local men on public projects. (An unskilled worker made about 50¢ a day.) One CCC foreman remained to supervise the WPA men as they continued the CCC's projects. WPA reports show that they worked on improving the trails, a bathing pond, the custodian's house, a playground, park lights, and tree thinning, and completed the contact station, among other things. The WPA work continued until August 1941, when funds ran out. [5]
A flood of the Bad River on August 30, 1941 damaged the bathing pond, bath house, dressing cabin, and two bridges over the Bad River. Another flood June 24, 1946 destroyed the swimming pond and bathhouse, and wrecked the flight of wooden steps across from the combination building. [5]

You can use the male blossoms from the vine to pollinate the female. That is fine.

Twitter Reducing In-App Animations Across its Home Feed
Twitter is bringing some noticeable revamps in a bid to curb down the hiccups in its home feed. Like it has been before, the latest update is currently being tested on the beta version on Android.
With version 7.4, Twitter is adding the option of reducing motion that would put a check on in-app animations. Those will reach to the likes of the live engagement count that is present on the home feed for tweets.
The new 'Reduce motion' option can be found under Accessibility pane in the settings. When enabled, Twitter will reduce the in-app animations, or majorly the live engagement counts so as to facilitate smooth surfing within the home feed.
Prior to the update, Twitter displayed live count updates when viewed on the home feed including those of reply, retweets and like. With the option enabled, Twitter will embrace a traditional approach of updating the counts only upon an event of refresh, say when returning to the home feed after viewing a particular tweet.
Despite being enabled to improve stutter-free home feed surging, Twitter has still refrained the feature from curbing other animations like when liking a heart and the spinning FAB when switching between tabs. That said, there is still a heavy chunk of animation present in the home feed, except for that those will take place only when a user action is evoked and not automatically.
Apart from the new feature, Twitter is also addressing some minor bugs with the new beta including an extended tappable area for tapping the carrot. The updates would be hitting the stable version by next week.

1865 January 21: General Grant's Military Strategy
This article appeared in the January 21, 1865, issue of The Prescott Journal.
Gen. Grant and the New War Policy.
What is the matter with Chicago Times? All the summer and autumn it took a most sombre view of the prospect of our arms. It thought GRANT was whipped in every battle. [Ulysses S. Grant] It predicted disaster to SHERMAN. [William T. Sherman] It denounced the war policy of the government. It eulogised Gen. McClellan as the great military genius of the age. [George B. McClellan] No other of our Generals, it asserted, has the ability to oppose the generalship of DAVIS and LEE. [Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee] If we had relied upon its editorial columns for our news of the war, and views of the situation, we should have said that the past campaign ad been a series of damaging defeats now and then a seeing advantage gained perhaps, but in reality one uninterrupted succession of disasters.
It is with some surprise therefore, that we find a recent editorial in that sheet warmly commending Gen. GRANT. It says his first act on becoming Lieutenant General was to revolutionize the system on which the war was before conducted. He gave up the anaconda system, and began concentrating our forces. It shows how he holds the best of the rebel armies at Richmond while SHERMAN is left free to ravage the richest domains of the rebellion. It concludes :
In fine [finé?], within one year, under the new system of attack inaugurated by the Lieutenant General, the Confederacy has been reduced to a condition that promises its speedy dissolution. Much, in fact, has been accomplished under General Grant than under all the generals that preceded him. A year ago the Confederacy was defiant ; to-day it is gravely discussing the propriety of throwing itself into the arms of England or France to escape subjugation. In short, since General Grant became Lieutenant General, the Federal armies have not suffered a single defeat of magnitude ; while the inroads into the military power of the rebellion have been numerous and substantial.
This is a remarkable confession for the leading Copperhead journal of the Northwest to make. The scatteration, anaconda system was the system of GEO. B. McCLELLAN. Gen. Scott [Winfield Scott] may have inaugurated it, but it was fully developed by "Little Mac." We are surprised to read such an acknowledgement as the above from one of his most strenuous supporters. It may be, however, that a glimmer of common sense is beginning to penetrate the copperhead fraternity. They, perhaps, are at length coming to see that it is useless longer to deny what is palpable. They have stoutly and persistently, for many months, endeavored to convince the country that everything connected with the war has been going adversely to the Union. Are they finally satisfied that the endeavor is a hopeless task ! We hope so, and trust that they may see the propriety of abandoning their evil course.

I am going to start off this entry with a bold statement that will sure to attract the attention of cinema snobs all over – horror films simply don't exist anymore. You can argue the finer points of some lesser-known foreign masterpiece all you want. But deep down in your heart, you know you weren't actually scared when you watched [Rec] or Martyrs. Not like you were when you saw Jaws for the first time. No matter how much we love to watch teenagers (or anyone really) get destroyed on screen, there hasn't been a film in a while that really connects us with the characters to have us even care in the first place.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark could have been a contender. You have Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) co-scripting with Matthew Robbins (*batteries not included). del Toro's resume is pretty solid, despite being sprinkled with some real stinkers (Mimic, Blade 2). He claims to have been inspired to write this film at a young age by a television movie of the same name (1973's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark directed by John Newland).
This new version contains a similar concept. A couple (Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes) move into a creepy old house in an attempt to fix it up and become well-known amongst the architectural community the world over. Alex (Pearce) also brings his daughter-from-another-mother into the mix. Sally (Bailee Madison) is exactly what the creatures living under the house need to survive.
Wait, did I forgot to mention that?
Yes, we learn during the epilogue that there are some mischievous little creatures living inside a creepy old stove in a hidden basement of the house. They want one thing and one thing only — children's teeth. That is only thing they like to eat (and they don't want adult teeth either, as one poor chap learns the hard way).
Before They Gets the Holes Again (9/2011)
Once these creatures smell Sally's presence, they stop at nothing to try and get her to go down into the stove with them. They speak pretty good English for being creatures of the unknown, but they all speak together as one when they do.
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark suffers most from its almost unbearable pacing. Director Troy Nixey takes the long road to build up the inevitable climax-in-the-basement. At 99 minutes, it would seem impossible for this film to feel that long.There are a lot of moments here where not too much happens by way of plot. Who cares what magazine is coming to the house to do a cover story? The film spends so much time focusing on the architect angle at times, that we sometimes forget about the creatures in the basement surviving only on children's teeth. We want to see a movie about them. Maybe that's what the sequel will be about.
When things happen to Sally, like when the creatures raid her bedroom at night, it all happens so quickly that you have no time to creep yourself out. Sure, some of these moments are pretty awesome (the bathtub sequence in particular), but there aren't enough of them. The only thing consistently scary throughout is some of the acting. While Bailee Madison does a great job of playing a kid too terrified to sleep with the lights off, Holmes' droopy and robotic performance steals the show.

New Delhi: Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Friday slammed Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his latest remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the Rafale deal and demonetization. Speaking to ANI, the Union Minister said that the Gandhi scion's political journey from Pappu to Gappu (the one who makes tall claims) is full of lies because of which he is making such bizarre statements against the government.
"Jis vyakti ka Pappu se lekar Gappu tak ka safar jhooth ka jhunjhuna lekar ke shuru hua ho, woh issi tarah ki behki-behki, besuri aur behuda baatein karega. Ghotale ke guru ghantalon ko har time ghotala hi nazar aayega, desh ka vikas, pragati aur sushasan nahi nazar aayega," he said.
On Friday, Rahul took a jibe at the Prime Minister by commenting on a news article on his Twitter handle. In his tweet, Gandhi said, "Globalised corruption. This #Rafale aircraft really does fly far and fast! It's also going to drop some big bunker buster bombs in the next couple of weeks. Modi Ji please tell Anil, there is a big problem in France."
On Thursday, while addressing the press conference, Rahul again pointed fingers at the Centre and claimed that the government deliberately implemented demonetization to help its "crony capitalist friends".
Congress party along with several other political outfits are creating a furor in the country since the time the government sealed a deal with France pertaining to import of 36 ready-to-fly fighters. The Congress party had earlier accused the ruling government of non-transparency in the multi-crore deal and termed it as one of the biggest failures of the newly introduced Make-in-India programme.

Some people are fond of visiting naturally beautiful places. Here they get to spend some quality time in the lap of nature. This provides them an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life and lets them experience calmness and tranquility. Also, they are able to refresh and rejuvenate themselves. If you too want to visit such a natural scenic location, you can take inspiration from Brandon. He was able to enjoy a great time during his visit to the Thousand Islands in the company of a beautiful escort from a premier escort service in New York.
Brandon was working as an executive at a top business firm in the New York City. His job was demanding which required him to spend long hours at work. So he was left with little time to relax himself. As a result, stress was building up in his life and beginning to affect his health, wellbeing and work performance. So he decided to take some time off work and devote it solely toward relaxing and enjoying himself. For this reason, he wanted to visit the Thousand Islands.
To enjoy his visit even more, Brandon reached out to an outstanding escort service. From the escorts available, he chose a beautiful escort as his companion for the visit. Her name was Sofia.
On the day Brandon had to travel to Thousand Islands, he waited for the escort's arrival at his home. Upon her arrival, he welcomed her and offered her a seat. He then began discussing with her more details about his visit which helped her grasp a better understanding of it.
Brandon then called in a taxi which reached there soon. He asked its driver to drop them at the train station. After reaching the station, they boarded a train to the Thousand Islands. After 5 hours or so, they were able to reach their intended destination.
After reaching the place, they went on to the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel and booked a room for themselves. It had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. They decided to spend the rest day at the room itself.
Next day, they went on to visit the Thousand Islands. Here they got to view thousands of little islands that were scattered around the St. Lawrence River. They were full of lush green trees. Some of them had Victorian homes and while some had even castles. The beauty and serenity of the islands left them mesmerized.
To view the islands from close, Brandon and Sofia hired a boat. They even visited some islands where they got to spend some calm and relaxing moments. Their visit to the islands turned out to be a refreshing and rejuvenating experience for them.
Then they went on to visit the Boldt Castle which was located on the Heart Island. It was built by George C. Boldt, a millionaire hotel magnate as a tribute to his beloved wife, Louise. Its beauty and grandeur left them astonished. Here they got to see George Boldt's bedroom, grand staircase and indoor pool.
Brandon and Sofia then went on to visit the Wellesley Island State Park. Here they got to view beautiful summer homes and met people living there. Also, they indulged there in swimming, fishing and golfing which gave them a lot of fun and enjoyment.
Finally, they paid a visit to the Thousand Islands Seaway Wine Trail where they got to taste delicious wines at the local vineyards. Also, they got to see fertile lands and quaint villages.
Then they came back to their room in the hotel. There they rested for a while and then began sharing their visit-related experiences. In the midst of the conversation, Brandon told Sophia that he had fallen in love with her. This made her face blush. He sought her love and she readily agreed to fulfill his wish. She provided him a breathtaking sensual experience.
After spending some more days visiting the attractions around the Thousand Islands, Brandon and Sophia traveled back to the New York City. This was the end of their thoroughly enjoyable and memorable visit.
If you too want to visit a beautiful natural destination for enjoying and relaxing yourself, you should consider taking along with you a gorgeous escort from an exceptional escort service NYC like New York GFE Club. By giving you a great companionship during your visit, the escort will enable you to derive maximum enjoyment from it and fill your life with happiness, vitality and love.


text: Godsend. My daughter was miserable at her previous school, Creme De La Creme. She hadn't learned much and was constantly being bullied by unruly children. However, we were very lucky to have found Cy-Fair Montessori School. It's a privately run school, with well-trained teachers in a clean facility. The classes are small, so that the students get the attention they need to excel. My daughter came in only knowing the alphabet and counting to 10. After 3 months, she's reading, writing, and applying numbers. She's only 3 years old. I strongly recommend that parents open their eyes and ears to see if their child is really getting something out of their current school/daycare. I guarantee that they are missing something. Stop in and check out this school. It's not a daycare at all; it truly is a school, and a very good one at that!

Hugues Reip
Sans titre, 2008
Hugues Reip
Hugues Reip Was born in Cannes in 1964 and he lives and works in Paris, where he teaches at the l'École Nationale d?Architecture de La Villette. Beginning with his sculptures in the 1990s, made on a shoestring, his oeuvre incorporated a material lightness, which participates in its disruption of reality. Reip?s DIY prose is rooted in science fiction and his vision of nature enters the realm of the fantastic. Phosphorescent flowers, oversized pebbles, a lenticular cosmos, regressive creatures from the abyss people his drawing, installations and animated films inspired by Mélies? proto-cinema. Playing on scale and light (Shadow Play), abstract shapes form characters. He has created several works together with Michel Blazy. Hugues Reip?s work has been exhibited both in France (Chapelle du Genêteil in Chateau-Gonthier in 2014) and abroad (Tokyo/New York). His work features in the collections of the MAC/VAL in Vitry-sur-Seine and various FRAC across France.

Honeywell Breakthrough Seen Transforming Plastics Industry: Tech
April 25 (Bloomberg) -- Honeywell International Inc. has discovered a one-step process to convert household natural gas into a plastics raw material. The implications are far-reaching.
The technology in time could ease a glut of natural gas from U.S. shale drilling; lower the cost of products ranging from soda bottles to paint; and give Honeywell a steady profit stream from licensing the technique in the $150 billion plastics raw-material industry.
The process would allow companies to make ethylene -- the substance from which plastic and other materials are created -- from methane, commonly known as natural gas. Ethylene is now produced from ethane, which is found alongside natural gas and costs three times as much. Ethylene can also come from naphthas in oil refining, which are more expensive than ethane.
Commercially viable gas-to-ethylene conversion is the industry's "holy grail," making methane more versatile at a time when natural gas is abundant and cheap because of shale drilling, said Gotz Veser, a chemical engineering professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Burned mostly as a fuel, natural gas closed yesterday at $1.98 per million British thermal units, compared with $13.58 at a July 2008 pre-recession peak.
"The industry has been looking for efficient ways to turn methane into higher hydrocarbons directly for decades," said Veser, who has written more than three dozen papers on the subject. "Nobody has been able to come up with an economical process."
Seeking Partners
Honeywell's approach, proved in the laboratory by the company's UOP petrochemical unit, won't be marketable for several years. Morris Township, New Jersey-based Honeywell is designing and seeking partners for a pilot plant.
"This will basically for the first time take natural gas and directly convert it to a chemical, not through a multistage process," UOP Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Gautam said. "At this point we have enough proof of principle, enough testing done that you can probably detect the excitement in my voice."
Direct conversion has so far met with limited success because methane molecules are extremely stable. Once a reaction starts, it's difficult to stop at the desired chemical, such as ethylene, before the methane breaks down further into low-value carbon and hydrogen gas, Veser said. Methane can now be converted to synthesis gas and then to methanol, which can be turned into ethylene. Those steps require more investment.
"We have completed proof-of-concept experimental work and have seen good yields and performance," Gautam said. "The next step is to start working on development and scale-up of the technology."
Reducing Production Costs
He said UOP's process using natural gas would save about 40 percent from the cost of ethane-based ethylene production at current prices. Ethane for May delivery traded yesterday at the equivalent of $7.16 per million Btu, according to Jason Miner, a senior chemicals analyst with Bloomberg Industries.
Sales at UOP, part of the specialty materials division, rose 24 percent to $1.93 billion in 2011, or 5.3 percent of Honeywell's $36.5 billion total. The parent company's shares climbed 10 percent this year through yesterday, topping the 8.8 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Industrials Index.
Plastics were first primarily made from the byproducts of oil refining and later in the U.S. from lighter feedstocks such as ethane. Producers recently have been switching more to use ethane as an ethylene feedstock as prices drop relative to crude with the boom of U.S. natural gas production.
Dow's Investment
Dow Chemical Co. said April 19 it will build a $1.7 billion plant in Freeport, Texas, to produce ethylene from ethane and other natural-gas liquids, with operations starting in 2017. Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., Sasol Ltd. and Formosa Plastics Corp. are drawing up plans to build new U.S. ethylene plants during the next four years.
Dow and "a lot of the industry" have worked on a direct route for converting methane, said Carol A. Williams, executive vice president of manufacturing and engineering at the largest U.S. chemical maker.
"If they are announcing that, then I think that is a significant step forward for our industry," said Williams, who hasn't seen Honeywell's technology. "Lots of people have worked on it and they have worked on it many different ways."
Even if proved economically and scientifically viable, Honeywell's process may take years to be adopted by an industry that changes slowly because of large investment in petrochemical complexes, said Nils-bertil Wallin, a Credit Agricole Securities analyst in New York. Some technologies need improvement after their discovery before gaining acceptance, he said.
Disruptive Technology
Hydraulic fracturing, or high-pressure injection of water, sand and chemicals into share rock formation to extract gas, has been around for decades, Wallin said. Only recently has fracking, as the process is known, set off a boom of natural gas production as methods became more efficient.
Honeywell's direct methane conversion "could potentially be a disruptive technology," Wallin said. "It would change the whole supply-demand dynamic."
The benefits would include saving costs across the industry and giving gas producers another market for methane, he said.
UOP, which was a joint venture with Dow's Union Carbide unit before Honeywell bought the half it didn't own for about $825 million in 2005, was formed in 1914 based on an oil refining technology invented by Jesse Dubbs, whose enthusiasm for the industry led him to name his son Carbon Petroleum. The company since has created advances in unleaded gasoline and catalytic converters. More recently, it devised a process to make plastics raw materials from coal and sold its first license to a company in China, where coal is plentiful.
Synfuels Process
Low natural-gas prices drove Dallas-based Synfuels International Inc. to work since 1998 on a cost-effective process to transform the fuel into ethylene and gasoline blends. The company is ready to go to market after operating a demonstration facility, and an undisclosed global company is seeking to build a plant based on the technology, Chief Engineer Ed Peterson said.
In Synfuels's process, methane is transformed to acetylene and then to ethylene. The technology matches the cost of ethane- to-ethylene conversion, he said.
"We're always going to have lots of natural gas; now we have to find an economical way to make the products that we want out of it," said Peterson, a chemical engineer who has worked at Dow and a Royal Dutch Shell unit. "We have one of those economical methods."
Honeywell's Gautam said methane-to-ethylene technology will prove cost effective even if natural gas prices rise much higher than today's lows.
"We have found a route that just seems to work well," Gautam said. "It will truly be a game-changing technology."

Sore throats and cases of acute bronchitis should be treated with rest, fluids and using a humidifier (1). - Dr. Linder
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) December 18, 2013
Many individuals with sore throats ask their doctors for antibiotics during a visit to a doctor's office. These doctors sometimes feel they must prescribe antibiotics, even when the physician knows they will do no good, simply to make the patient happy. They know that patients want to feel like their doctor is "doing something" to help them. This is the case even when the best option may just be rest and natural, antiviral supplements. The CBCD shows why pressuring doctors for an antibiotic prescription is a bad idea.
The CBCD believes that many people are simply unaware of the fact that only 10 percent of all sore throat cases are caused by bacteria. The most common bacterial pathogen is streptococcus bacteria ("strep"), and these should be treated with antibiotics. However, the vast majority of sore throat cases are viral in nature (1).
How can overuse of antibiotics harm an individual?
As Dr. Jeffrey A. Linder, MD said "…people need to understand that by taking antibiotics for viral infections, they're putting something in their bodies that they don't need. Taking antibiotics unnecessarily exposes people to adverse drug reactions, allergies, yeast infections and nausea, with no benefit (1)." Dr. Linder is an associate professor at Harvard Medical School.
One of the most dangerous effects of overusing antibiotics is the development of drug resistant bacteria. "The inappropriate use of antibiotics adds to the creation of drug-resistant bacteria, or 'superbugs,' which are very difficult to treat and are a public health threat (1)."
The CBCD puts this into perspective.
"A study published back in October, 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that there were close to 100,000 cases of invasive Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (drug resistant bacteria) infections in the United States in 2005. Those infections led to more than 18,600 deaths. AIDS only killed 17,000 people in the same year (2). That means when a person begs the doctor for antibiotics when he doesn't need them, that person is exposing himself to superbugs." – Greg Bennett, CBCD
What can a person do instead of asking the doctor for antibiotics?
Dr. Linder points out that "sore throats and cases of acute bronchitis should be treated with rest, fluids and using a humidifier (1)."
In addition, the CBCD suggests that individuals wash their hands to help prevent viruses from spreading when a person coughs. A person should keep from sharing personal items such as towels and clothing.
Finally, people with a virally caused sore throat can ask their doctor about natural antiviral products proven to help reduce viral symptoms. Information about these natural products can also be found on the Internet.

The CBCD is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments.
The CBCD published the "Purple" book by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky's highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between foreign DNA and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky's book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

As Bubbles Expand, So Does Our Pleasure
At a time when long drinks are at the heart of consumers' preferences, it's the details that set apart good from great. So it's high time we realised that – more than ever – bubbles deserve our undivided attention. There's a science to fizzy drinks, and that's exactly what we're going to focus on today.
So, scientifically speaking, it's carbon dioxide that adds body to a beverage, and it also reinforces its aroma. Put simply, this means that if you want an extra fragrant, full-bodied result, one of the tricks to use is topping your drink up with a carbonated beverage. There's no question about it. We should keep an eye on our bubbles and make sure they stay in our drink for as long as possible.
Simple? We wouldn't say so, as that's where the bad news comes in: From the very moment we open up a can of soft drink, the lifespan of its bubbles starts drawing to a close. It's time to return to science and talk about nucleation sites, also known as nucleation points. When the carbon dioxide in the soda is disturbed, it escapes through the liquid, expanding and creating fizz and bubbles.
An etching on the inside of the glass, a speck of dust, or even the garnish, straw and ice in a long drink can all be nucleation points. This means that almost everything we do makes carbon dioxide expand faster. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You see, it's the bubbles that carry the drink's aromas and will eventually funnel its full bouquet of freshness to the nose. A representative example of how necessary it is for carbon dioxide to expand are the specially designed pint glasses that some of the biggest beer brands are increasingly investing in. Purpose-built patterns are etched into the bottom of these glasses in an effort to create more nucleation points. More bubbles, more aromas, better flavour; an enhanced, elevated experience.
To sum up, there are many supporters on either side of the nucleation debate when it comes to creating the perfect long drink. Good or bad, nucleation points are simply impossible to avoid. Therefore, if we keep them in mind and minimise their amount to create balance, our drink will remain enjoyable for longer.
How exactly do we do that? Take note:
- Always use a tall highball glass, ideally a Collins tumbler.
- Add just one big piece of ice rather than many smaller ice cubes to reduce the CO2 nucleation points.
- Make sure the spirits and mixers you use are as cold as possible.
- Add as little garnish as possible.
As for the ideal way to serve the most famous long drink in the world, the Gin & Tonic, remember to avoid using a bar spoon when adding the tonic because that adds more nucleation sites. The best method is to pour the tonic very slowly, ensuring it's touching the walls of the glass.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Paula Michelle White is a Christian author, speaker, and church leader. She is co-founder and former senior pastor of Without Walls International Church; a large, influential, non-denominational, charismatic church with two locations in Florida. She hosts a television show, Paula White Today, produced by Paula White Ministries seen on multiple networks including Black Entertainment Television, and the Trinity Broadcast Network. She currently is the senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida.
In many of her sermons, empowerment seminars, and books Paula White discusses her childhood traumas and teenage flirtations with self-destruction to teach about God's transforming power. Her style has been described as humorous and candid.[2]
Early life and youth
Paula White was born Paula Michelle Furr April 20, 1966, in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Myra Joanelle and Donald Paul Furr III. Her parents owned a thriving toy and craft store. Paula and her brother, Mark, had all their needs and desires met.[2] Donald and Myra Furr's marriage began to fail when Paula was five years old. Paula's mother left Tupelo and took her to Memphis. Paula's father followed with an ultimatum for Myra to give Paula to him or he would commit suicide. Myra refused. Later that night Donald Furr killed himself by running his car into a tree.[3] Paula's mother became an alcoholic. While her mother worked, White was looked after by caregivers. White has said that she was sexually and physically abused for seven years between the ages of six and thirteen, by different people on different occasions.[1][4][5]
Paula's mother remarried in 1975 to a military man when Paula was 9 years old . Her family later moved to the Washington D.C. area when her stepfather was stationed at the National Naval Medical Center. Paula White is a graduate of Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, Maryland.[6]
In 1984 while living in Maryland, she was introduced to the gospel and became a Christian. On her television show in July 2005, White recounted the vision she received from God shortly after conversion: "When I was just eighteen years old and barely saved, the Lord gave me a vision that every time I opened my mouth and declared the Word of the Lord, there was a manifestation of his spirit where people were either healed, delivered, or saved. When I shut my mouth, they fell off into utter darkness and God spoke to me and said I called you to preach the gospel."[2]
Paula White later on became a part of the National Church of God in Fort Washington under T.L. Lowery of Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee), and a small church in Gaithersburg-Damascus, Maryland area.[6]
Christian Ministry
Without Walls International Church
Without Walls International Church, originally named South Tampa Christian Center, was founded by Paula White and Randy White (pastor) in 1991.
The church struggled financially at first, and it could not afford to pay Randy and Paula White a salary for the first two years. As a result, Randy and Paula lived on government assistance and the kindness of others. Soon the church began to grow quickly through the various outreach programs. From 1991 to 1998, the church changed locations three times until they secured the property located at 2511 North Grady Avenue in Tampa, Florida and changed the name of the church to Without Walls International Church.[2]
While the church was holding services in an outdoor tent in 1999, they reported 5,000 attendees a week and 10,000 ministered to outside of the church with 230 outreach ministries.[7]
Without Walls International Church then purchased the property next to them at 3860 West Columbus Drive expanding their Tampa campus. The property acquired was a Canada Dry warehouse which they remodeled and is now today the main sanctuary for the church.
In 2002, Without Walls International Church began to expand to its second location in Lakeland, Florida. At this time, the church reported 14,000 members and 200 ministries including job training, evangelism among public housing projects and a teen club. On August 3, 2002, Without Walls International Church began to hold Saturday night services at Carpenter's Home Church in Lakeland renting the property.[8][9] Carpenter's Home Church would later on be purchased by Without Walls International Church in 2005 for $8 million renaming the church to Without Walls Central Church.[10]
In 2004, Without Walls International Church reported a congregation of 20,000 as the largest congregation in the area making the church the seventh largest church in the United States.[11]
The Tampa Tribune reported on March 5, 2008 that Without Walls International Church had put its 4,500–seat Tampa church up for sale, along with its 13.3-acre (5 ha) grounds and 94,000-square-foot (8,733 m2) offices and television studio. As of August 2012, the property is still on the market, with the church's offering price reportedly at $30 million USD.[12]
Paula White Ministries
White recorded the first broadcast of Paula White Today in December 2001 and, by 2006, her show appeared on nine television networks, including Trinity Broadcast Network, Daystar, and Black Entertainment Television[2][6][13]
Ebony magazine said of White, "You know you're on to something new and significant when the most popular woman preacher on the Black Entertainment Network is a white woman."[14]
White considers T.D. Jakes her spiritual father. Jakes invited her to speak at his "Woman Thou Art Loosed" conference in 2000. She also participated in the Mega Fest, hosted by Jakes in Atlanta, in 2004 and 2005.[15] She has also met with General Colin Powell, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, and Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.[16] She is the personal life coach of Tyra Banks and appeared on her show, the Tyra Banks Show, in an episode concerning promiscuity on October 4, 2006.[13] White was also a 2009 Trumpet Awards Honoree.[17]
White has ministered to some well-known people including Michael Jackson, Donald Trump, Gary Sheffield, and Darryl Strawberry.[2] Trump, who often brings her to Atlantic City for private Bible studies, appeared on her television show for an exclusive interview.[2] She was pastor to Darryl Strawberry, starting in 2003 following Strawberry's release from prison for cocaine possession. Charisse Strawberry, Darryl Strawberry's wife at that time, also worked as an assistant to White, accompanying her on speaking engagements.[6][18][19]
Senate inquiry
On November 6, 2007, United States senatorChuck Grassley of Iowa announced an investigation of White's ministry by the United States Senate Committee on Finance along with five other ministries.[20] Grassley asked the ministries to divulge financial information.[21][22] When CBS News reported the story, White's ministry denied any wrongdoing,[23] and on March 31, 2008, the Senate Finance Committee received a joint financial report from Without Walls International Church and Paula White Ministries.[24] Without Walls International Church was one of four ministries that refused to provide the full information Senator Grassley requested.[25]
On January 6, 2011, Senator Grassley concluded the three year investigation with no penalties and no definitive findings of wrongdoing.[26] The Alliance Defense Fund protested the investigation and the National Religious Broadcasters said the questions Senator Grassley asked were too broad.[26] The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability plans to create a national commission in response to the Grassley report to lead a review on accountability and policy.[26] White interpreted the conclusion of the investigation to mean that Without Walls International Church was cleared.[27]
Pastoral Positions
On July 12, 2009, White became the senior pastor of the church she co-founded, Without Walls International Church, replacing Randy White, her former husband. Randy White stated that he was stepping down as pastor due to health reasons and would still remain connected with the church in a different position.[28][29]
On January 1, 2011, following the resignation of Scott Thomas, White became the senior pastor of Without Walls Central Church in Lakeland, Florida making her the pastor of both church locations.[10]
Officially announced on December 31, 2011, Paula White was appointed by the board of New Destiny Christian Church in Apopka, Florida to succeed Zachery Tims as the new pastor in the wake of his death. White is no longer associated with Without Walls International Church. New Destiny Christian Center had been searching for his replacement since Tims' death in August 2011.[30]Tims' ex-wife Riva filed a lawsuit but quickly dropped it, citing a hold harmless clause in her 2009 marital settlement agreement.[31]
Upon hearing of the controversy, Paula White addressed New Destiny Christian Center during a service she was leading. "I'm not asking you to like me. I'm not asking you to love me or respect me, because I'll do the work to earn that. I always ask people to give me one year of your life and I promise you will be changed."[31]
On June 24, 2012, three years after stepping down as senior pastor of Without Walls International Church, Pastor Randy White returned to the pulpit. He made this statement, "We've gone through trials and tests and storms ... and we can dwell on that if we'd like. But not this preacher!" he told the congregation on Sunday. "Forget the past.." After the announcement, Paula's White name was no longer listed on the staff directory of Without Walls. Randy White, however, is listed as its lead pastor.[32]
Personal life
White's first marriage was as a teenager to the father of her son. In 1984, while living in Maryland with her newborn baby, she was introduced to the gospel and became a Christian. Her marriage ended soon after.[1]
According to the book, Holy Mavericks, a vital turning point came in White's life in 1989 when she met Randy White, a third-generation preacher in the Church of God denomination. Randy was recovering from the divorce of his first marriage and was in the early stages of reviving his career as a preacher and evangelist. They met while he was visiting the church where White volunteered as a janitor. They became friends and dated for several months as they labored together in ministry projects. Less than a year after meeting, Randy proposed during a tour to Israel and she accepted. Shortly thereafter they moved from Maryland to Tampa, Florida.[2]
In an article published in The Tampa Tribune on May 20, 2007, when Paula's husband (Randy White) was asked whether he was contemplating a divorce he replied, "No one can predict the future."[33]
On August 23, 2007, White announced to their congregation that she and Randy would divorce. Randy stated from the pulpit of Without Walls International Church: "We have a very difficult announcement to make tonight before Tim Storey preaches. And that is that we are going through a divorce. It is the most difficult decision that I have had to make in my entire life and I come to you tonight to first let you know that I take full responsibility for a failed marriage." According to The Christian Post, White says the divorce was amicable and they remain friends.[5][27] Following the divorce, from 2007 to 2009, White ministered in New York, Texas, and abroad, while making periodic visits to Tampa and Without Walls International Church. In 2009 she became the senior pastor of Without Walls International Church resulting in her taking residence in Tampa, Florida, again.[28] White has been accused of having an affair with controversial evangelist Benny Hinn, after photos of the pair romantically holding hands in Rome were published in a magazine.[34]
White has a son named Bradley. She is a step-mother to the three children Randy had from a previous marriage: Kristen Renee, Angie, and Brandon. White and Randy did not have children together.[1] Kristen Renee died on April 30, 2008, at the age of 30 years old after a difficult battle with brain cancer. Randy White founded the Kristen Renee Foundation in Kristen's memory.[29] White has no official role with the foundation but is an active supporter.
