Should you have a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and a duvet?
The flat sheet is quite different than a fitted sheet, in that it completely lacks elastic edging. A flat sheet, also known as a top sheet, might need a little more effort to place on the bed but it does create a little bit of extra protection for your duvet cover or comforter. Flat sheets can be used as a fitted sheet but generally, they become an extra layer between your duvet and the bottom sheet.
There are a lot of people who prefer to have a fitted sheet, flat sheet and duvet cover combo, but then there are many people who don't. But when you have all three accessories, you can enjoy a number of benefits. First off, your bed is going to have a really nice, finish off look. This is something that hotels and guest houses should strive for because of the importance of the first impression.
Having a flat sheet can also make your bed more comfortable, especially in the summer months when it's just too hot for a duvet but just too cool for nothing at all.
So, do you really need a top sheet?
It's one of those debates that doesn't really have a right or wrong answer. While the European style is to just have the fitted sheet and a duvet, the American style is to include a flat sheet. South Africans are a combination of the two. Some of us like to have a flat sheet while others do not. And there is no right or wrong way to have your bed. It is all about what you prefer.
How can you decide if a flat sheet is for you?
The best way to decide is by asking yourself the following questions:
- Are you a low maintenance kind of person? If the answer is yes, then you might want to skip having a three quarter flat sheet.
- Do you share a bed and does your partner want a flat sheet? If your partner does not want a flat sheet, then you might have to compromise.
- Finally, is this something that you really want? If not, then save your money.

Kafka: Metamorphosis
|back to filk list
|by Mark Connorton
As Rupert Giles awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic demon. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his leathery green belly on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His enormous claws, which seemed excessively fierce for a retired librarian, waved helplessly before his eyes. What has happened to me? he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too small, lay quiet between the four familiar walls. Above the table on which a collection of ancient eldritch manuscripts was unpacked and spread out - Giles was a Watcher - hung the picture which he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and put into a pretty gilt frame. It showed a lady, with a pashmina on and a long patchwork skirt, sitting upright and holding out to the spectator a huge wooden stake...

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the telecommunication revolution has improved virtually all aspects of modern economic life. Email has vastly increased the ability to communicate information across the world, compared with paper mail and the telegram. Websites like Amazon and eBay have given consumers an infinitely wider array of products and producers while allowing producers to extend their reach to large numbers of consumers. Global Positioning Satellite systems have made driving and navigation safer and easier. Various fields of industry and agriculture have benefited from the innovations that better communication and efficient production-chain management have produced. Search engines have made information accessible worldwide in a manner heretofore unimaginable. Many more global transformative innovations exist, yet there remains one field where business continues as it has for decades: finance and banking.
As former chairman of the US Federal Reserve System Paul Volcker famously put it, the "single most important" innovation the financial industry has witnessed in the past twenty-five years is the automated teller machine (ATM), (1) adding: "I wish someone would give me one shred of neutral evidence that financial innovation has led to economic growth" (Hosking and Jagger 2009). While banks have produced various new financial instruments and methods of hedging risk and maximizing their profitability, the banking experience for the consumer has not changed much since the ATM allowed withdrawals outside of bank branch locations and bank operating hours. Transferring money continues to cost significant amounts of money and time for the majority of people. The most common method for nonpersonal payment today is still the credit card, which was invented in 1950, back when the vinyl record was the most prevalent method of listening to music recordings. (2) Since 1950, vinyl records have evolved to tape cartridges, four-tracks, compact cassettes, compact discs, and finally mass storage digital music players, while credit cards are still in use today, featuring glaring problems. Most notably, credit card payment is still initiated by the recipient, meaning the payer must disclose their sensitive information to the recipient and risk compromising it every time they want to make a payment.
High payment transaction costs constitute a small problem for the populations of rich industrial nations, but they are an insurmountable obstacle for much of the world's poor, who do not present an attractive market for financial institutions and thus remain largely unbanked and unable to access financial services altogether. When they must use financial services for remittances, the fees they pay are exorbitantly high compared to the small amounts transferred.
Banking has not improved the speed and cost of transactions because of a dual logistical-political problem. Any transaction not carried out with cash in person has to rely on third-party intermediation to prevent double spending--that is, to ensure that the payer has the funds and is not making other payments that exceed these funds. Two parties cannot perform a financial transaction between their accounts without the custodian of the payer's account verifying that the sender has sufficient funds to perform the transaction. With the political and economic importance of financial intermediation, this role has been regulated by governments, limiting entry and exit, and isolating intermediaries from true free-market competition that would weed out the inefficient and only allow the productive to survive. Capture of the regulatory agencies by the regulated parties has protected their rents by preventing market competition from more rapidly advancing the interests of the transacting parties. The result is that even as telecommunication technology has advanced, transaction costs have remained high, and modern financial innovation has not overcome this logistical and political obstacle.
But this changed in 2008, when a pseudonymously published nine-page paper laid out the first workable design of a payment system technology that eliminates the need for trusted third-party intermediation: Bitcoin.
This paper discusses Bitcoin and the impact it can have on economic development. Section 2 explains Bitcoin functionally, in terms of the technologies that constitute it, outlining four main functions: transfer of digital goods, the blockchain, the currency, and smart contracts. Section 3 outlines the main strengths and advantages of Bitcoin, while section 4 discusses other digital currencies and their importance and chances of success. This paper discusses bitcoin in particular, since bitcoin is by far the largest and most important digital currency, but the paper's main thrust concerns the actual technology of digital currencies. Section 5 provides a preliminary brainstorming of the impact that digital currencies can have on developing countries and on the world's poorest people, illustrating ways in which it can help the impoverished overcome the institutional drawbacks of their countries and participate in a growing global economy. II.
What Is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a network that allows for digital payment between its members without third-party intermediation. Payment is irreversible, initiated by the payer, and extremely fast and cheap. Transactions appear for the recipient immediately and can be sent for free; the average transaction confirmation time for the period from January 2012 through June 2015 was 8.32 minutes, while the average transaction fee was 0.000412 bitcoin, or $0.0753. (3) This paper takes a functional approach to the understanding of Bitcoin. Its features and constituent parts can be expressed in terms of four distinct technologies: a technology for the transfer of digital goods, a common asset ledger (the blockchain), a limited-supply currency, and a technology for implementing "smart contracts." This section explains the basics of all four technologies.
Transfer of Digital "Goods"
The groundbreaking innovation of Bitcoin is that it is the first technology for transferring digital "goods" from one network location to another. Since the inception of computer networks, it has been possible to send digital data and objects between computers, but such a "transfer" actually only sends a copy of the data to the recipient, maintaining another copy with the sender. In other words, it is a method of copying, not sending. By using public-key cryptography on a decentralized asset ledger, Bitcoin allows for goods to be stored on the public asset ledger and for their ownership to be restricted to the person who has the requisite public key.
Before Bitcoin, all digital goods were nonrival and not scarce--they could be reproduced endlessly at virtually zero marginal cost and consumed simultaneously. For example, when an individual buys a song from a music website and stores it on her PC, she can then send it to other people while keeping a copy of it, and they could all listen to it at the same time. But the Bitcoin network allows the song's seller to ensure that it can be accessed by only one PC. Should the owner of that PC choose to transfer the song's key to someone else, she would immediately lose access to the song.
Through the use of cryptography, Bitcoin brings the scarcity, rivalry, finality, and irreversibility of physical transactions to the digital realm. A digital song can now be treated just like a physical cassette or CD, a rival good that cannot be played on two machines at the same time. This is not just true for music files, but for all kinds of digital data, goods, programs, and, most significantly, currency. Before Bitcoin, any form of direct payment between two parties was unworkable, because there was no way to guarantee that the payer would reduce the currency balance in his account, or not use his balance for more than one payment. Any form of payment had to rely on a trusted third party that maintained a balance for the payer and payee and that checked the transaction against the payer's balance to ensure the balance was sufficient. The third party then debited the payer's account while crediting the payee's account. By offering the possibility of reliable irreversible transfers of digital goods that leave no trace with the sender, Bitcoin solves the double-spending problem and makes payment without trusted third-party intermediation possible.
As such, Bitcoin is the world's first instance of digital cash, transferring the useful properties of paper cash to the digital realm. (4) Just like personal cash transactions, Bitcoin payments are irreversible and need no trusted third party intermediary. Unlike personal cash transactions, Bitcoin transactions are not restricted by space limitations; the transacting parties need not meet in the same place at the same time for the transaction to happen, since payment can be made instantaneously across the world to any device with an Internet connection. Instead of utilizing a trusted third-party intermediary, Bitcoin is based on cryptographic proof verified by the central processing unit (CPU) power of the total network. As such, Bitcoin can be understood as being to currency what email is to paper mail: an infinitely faster and cheaper digital shortcut for a physical-world activity that has been carried out for millennia.
Bitcoin allows for the transfer of digital goods without intermediation by maintaining the full record of ownership and transactions in a transparent distributed asset ledger shared by all computers on the decentralized peer-to-peer network. This record is named the blockchain. The blockchain is not just a record of transactions; it can also be inscribed with text, data, and programming code, which can be made publically available or encrypted to restrict access.
The Blockchain
Technically, Bitcoin is an algorithm that records an ongoing chain...

Join Date: 6 - 3 - 2006
"Yes I am an Atheist" - Colonel Corbec
The User
- No longer an active member, Corbec was one of the first members who was able to successfully write epic forum stories. Many were multiple chapters long, had returning characters and plot-lines, and each one often involved many forum members. He is among the best writers the forum has seen not only for the volume, but for his quality of work. He is an adamant objective atheist. His name comes from the Warhammer 40k universe.
The Many Stories
Spartan 3
- Corbec's first story, he doesn't look upon it fondly.
Through Hell for Hitler
- Tells the story of a German story during World War 2. Corbec actually had squirrel dude publish the story for fear of public backlash. None the less, the story is catalogued under his name in The Flood Library. The story was actually quite well received because of the skill of writing that went into it.
War of the Matches
- The Last story Corbec wrote. It is a story of hackers taking over Halo 2 matchmaking and the hopeless fight against them by moderators and players alike.
The Flood 1
- Actually set in a separate universe from the Flood Series. It deals with such random occurrences as people being launched into the sun.
The Flood Series
The Flood 2 through 7
- The Flood Series details Colonel Corbecs rise from a hitman to the Ruler of The Flood. His wars with parallel worlds, neighboring nations, and his eventual claim to emperor hood. His corruption and tyranny, and his ultimate fall at the hand of rebels who survived his gladiatorial Death Games and former allies.
Life in and outside of The Flood
The Floodian
- Colonel Corbec is a handsome, blond haired man. Known for his sharp wit, as well as being an open and sometimes pretentious Objectivist. He at one point was a very active member in the forum, until writing became so time consuming that he was too often forced to choose between posting in The Flood, or writing his story. His true trademark was masterfully driving a glacier blue Audi TT, with an improved 2.4 liter engine. Corbec is a well respected, if somewhat abrasive member of the community.
Colonel Corbec's Club
- Created to appease Corbec's need to be loved, The Club is where members could claim stakes in the next story. The groups was largely populated by The Brits(those guys from across the ocean, but not completely). Many of these Brits happened to also be writers. Some would even start stories that branched off from Corbec's Flood Universe. However, drama between Corbec and other members, along with the creation of a spin off group eventually led to it's long coming demise. Corbec, realizing that he could no longer be extremely popular, left Bungie.net and any affection he had for the people there. He has stated that he has no intention of ever returning to The Flood.

What is Person-Centred Therapy?
At the core of the Person-Centred Approach lies the belief that the client is the one who knows what hurts; this arises out of a deep respect for the person and the healing nature of both the therapeutic relationship and the counsellors unwavering trust in the client's ability to heal.
In an environment where the consellor consistently offers the client acceptance, understanding and genuineness, the therapeutic relationship develops, creating a safe, supportive environment for the healing process to begin.
What can counselling help with?
Counselling can help to change the way we see, think and feel about things and ourselves.
The sort of distress counselling can help with is usually called 'psychological' or 'emotional' distress and may include; Stress, Conflict at work or in the family home; Bereavement, Coping with poor health or Trauma.

I offer day and evening appointments.
£45 - £55 for a 60 minute counselling session. I have a sliding scale and trust clients to pay what they can afford.
£50 for a 60 minute supervision session.
I have a limited number of consession spaces available at £30 per hr. Please ask if this would be useful for you.
There is a 24 hr cancelation notice period required or the full session fee is applicable.
How many sessions will I need?
We will discuss the number of sessions you may need before and during our work together. It may be that you only require a few sessions; alternatively we may continue to work over several weeks or months. It will all depend on your individual situation.
How often are the sessions?
Sessions are usually on a weekly basis.

The Oklahoma City Bombing (April 19, 1995)
We spend a lot of time here at this site discussing frivolous popular culture, but sometimes, it's appropriate to pause and reflect upon more somber topics. Fifteen years ago today, on April 19, 1995, domestic terrorists attacked the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, killing 168 people (including a number of small children), wounding more than 680 others, and frightening the nation as a whole. This was the Oklahoma City bombing. The first time I visited Oklahoma City was years later, in the mid 2000s, and on that trip, I toured the area affected by the blast, which has now become a quiet memorial to those who perished that day. A museum nearby offers exhibits related to the bombing and its aftermath. The most chilling thing at the museum is an audio recording of the meeting of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, a body which met near the federal building that morning. Visitors to the museum stop in a room as this recording plays over a sound system. The board's meeting began at 9:00 a.m., just two minutes before the blast. As visitors listen to the recording, they hear what would under any other circumstance be the routine administrative minutiae of an administrative body, but this is far more ominous, as the listeners know what is about to happen. (You can hear that recording here, but it is disturbing.). So, take a moment away from the banality of popular culture today, and think about that terrible day in 1995, when our nation suffered this great tragedy. Normal pop culture posts will resume tomorrow.

21-Day Manaslu Lodge Trek
Duration: 21 days
Location: Kathmandu, Nepal
• More Details about Manaslu tea house trekking
Join us on our Manaslu trek for a fascinating voyage filled with remarkable geographical and cultural sights. The trail can be rough and steep, but we believe this is what makes thetrip so rewarding. Come with us for an experience you'll never forget.
Journey with us and see sensational sights at the crossing of the Larkya La (5135m)
Experience spectacular geographical and cultural sights unlike any other
Witness dramatic mountain views from Nupri and explore the towns and cities of the area
Starting from Arughat at the altitude of 570m, the main goal of the trek is to cross over the Larkya La (5135m). The first part of the trek leads you through the walls of the Buri Gandaki river valley, which is perpendicular and involves a heavy amount of climbing. As you trek up to the upper Buri Gandaki, you will reach Tibetan inhabitants of a region known as Nupri. Here, people's speech, dress and customs are exclusively Tibetan, as Nupri is still a trade access point for the border people. The mountain views at Nupri are sensational and the crossing of the Larkya La is one of the most dramatic of any passes in the Himalaya. After the Larkya La pass the trail descends down towards the Marshyandi valley, this is where the famous Annapurna circuit trek starts.
Join us for the voyage of a lifetime on our 3-week trek in Manaslu. Explore the sights of Kathmandu in-depth and the way they were meant to be seen. Visit Manaslu and let us show you the combination of rich cultural heritage and unsurpassed beauty that contribute to its great bio-diversity.

So about this trail, i feel like i have to share a few things.
This trail is in fact the shortest version, there is no long version on wikilocs yet.
At the khao sok national park entrance the ranger will explain to you and tell you that: you can only hike to the first three checkpoints(waterfalls etc) without a guide and that after that you will need a guide, now you might want to take knowledge about the next things:
The first three are indeed the easiest, with kids, on flipsflops, in swimmingshorts.. all no problem at all. But..
If you want to have a full day hike/trekking through khao sok, you can just forget about the specifics(duration, distance etc) from this trail.
Pack for a full day hike, leave as early as possible and take note of the time, so that you can make sure you turn around and go back half way before sunset.
After the firsts three checkpoints there are good marks everywhere, on where to go.. you can hike the entire day, without wikiloc, just follow the signs.
Indeed after the first three checkpoint there is a sign not to continue without a guide, but.. there is no ranger checking if anyone does, and so everyone just continues.
So keep in mind, yes if you continue after the first three, wear proper hiking shoes, maybe a long pants agains leaches and a stick or hiking sticks can be usefull. Bring enough food and water and turn around halfway the day.
No guide needed, have fun, its an awesome place!

I'm in love with Andrew Gross
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018
I've been reading Mr. Gross' books, both co-written and solo, for the past 10+ years (since my pre-Kindle days). Although I'm fond of all his novels, his recent Saboteur and One Man were exquisite. However, I went ape over Button Man! It is so well written,and it's totally engaging from the first page and exciting right up to the ending. I loved the historical dynamic and was especially pleased and impressed when I learned from the epilogue that the story was patterned after AG's grandfather's life. Love your style, Andrew.

Fear and courage
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2018
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase
Andrew Gross follows Mark Twain's advice to write what you know. And he hits a home run.
Button Man is not the usual immigrant rags-to-riches tale. The remarkable life of Morris Rabishevsky (soon to be Raab) is actually, "with only a few embellishments," the story of the author's own grandfather. Gross's love and admiration for the man show through on every page.
Gross's glimpses of immigrant life in the cold water tenements of the Lower East Side are raw and memorable A horrific accident, whose after-effects ripple throughout the story, is particularly gripping.
We learn about the garment industry in detail (but not too much detail) and how the unions, an important social reform following the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, become infiltrated by the mob. Once the police and politicians are on the mob's payroll, intimidation, physical threats and violence become everyday events.
The factory owners fall in line--with the exception of Morris Raab.
The appearance of historical figures like Legs Diamond, Albert Anastasia and Thomas E. Dewey add richness and authenticity to the story.
The book's greatest strength, in my view, is Gross's depiction of fear and courage. Morris's comment to mobster Louis Buchalter, in the final scene, reminds me of the Biblical verse that the truth will set you free: "But the moment you decide to stand up, you become brave, you're free."
My only reservation about Button Man is its Houdini-like climax, chains and all. I suspect that it was one of the "embellishments" Andrew Gross acknowledged adding to this compelling story.

Standing up to the Mob
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Verified Purchase
Andrew Gross has written a novelized biography of his grandfather, a pioneer in the garment industry. His protagonist is Morris Raab, born Rabishevsky, who as a boy of 12 on the lower eastside starts working in a garment factory and ultimately rises to become a major manufacturer of women's coats and later dresses. For me the book is especially poignant because my furrier father manufactured linings, collars and cuffs for high end cloth coats, the very product made by Raab. In fact there is furrier in the book who supplies Raab.
What makes "Button Man" so interesting is Raab's encounters with the mob that was dominating the garment and fur workers unions of the 1920s and 1930s. We see such mobsters and Murder Incorporated founder Louis Lepke Buchalter and his sidekick "Gurrah" Shapiro doing their best to intimidate Raab and his brother partner, Sol. We also run into Albert Anastasia, Legs Diamond and Dutch Schultz.
At first Raab fights the mob and then is prepared to give in and ultimately he stands up to them. He does this by linking up with special prosecutor Tom Dewey through one of his lower eastside lawyer friends. And at great peril to his life and the lives of his family he plays a role in bringing down the mob.
What Gross' novel does is that it shows the real life consequences of what happens when the mob controls the unions. Everybody, but the mob loses with workers and bosses alike suffering as worker wages and boss' profits are drained away through protection payoffs, forced buying from mob controlled firms and fraudulent union welfare funds. For those who don't play ball they face fires, acid attacks on their garments and their persons and murder. Gross brings to life what it was like to be a small business owner in the garment industry of that era. As the son of a furrier whose business started in 1930 the novel rings true.

Interesting novel...
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Verified Purchase
Sometimes I'll read a novel and wonder where the author came up with the plot and the characters. With American author Andrew Gross's novel, "Button Man", I didn't have to wonder as it's plainly stated that both the story and characters are based - with a little "embellishment" - on his mother's family, the Pomerantz family, owners of the women's dress company, Leslie Fay.
When I wrote that Andrew Gross was an "American" writer, I think that the story of his family - and particularly that of his grandfather - and their embrace of the "American Dream", is a uniquely American one. And not just "American", but "Jewish American". Morris Raab - the name was shortened - is the main protagonist of the book. The youngest of six children, he was the only one born in the United States. His parents and older siblings were born in Europe. Does being born on American soil give you an extra bit of nerve or chutzpah? It's certain that Morris Raab possessed that nerve as he made his way in the rag trade, from the age of 12. Dropping out of school to help support his family, Morris climbed up from cutter to eventual owner of a thriving business in the 1930's. But there the story gets ugly and complicated for Morris Raab, because not only is HIS story a truly American one, so's the story of the other side.
With his success, Morris Raab caught the attention of the Jewish mob, then ruling the New York City rag trade with an iron fist. Andrew Gross writes about real people - Louis Lepke, Dutch Schultz, and Charles Workman, among others - who were into extreme intimidation - both physical and financial - of the garmentos. Raab takes on the mob as his friends in the business are brutalised. (An interesting side plot concerns the fictional Morris Raab and the very real Louis Lepke).
Andrew Gross's book is violent in parts. It certainly doesn't seem like a "feel good" book, but, strangely, it is in a way. It's the story of a family in a time and place where standing up for one's self was one way to a successful life. Morris Raab and his extended family found respect and a place in our society with that strength to persevere.

An Excellent Historical Novel About Labor Unions And Organized Crime
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase
Andrew Gross has written several very good novels of historical fiction, and "Button Man" continues the trend.
Morrs, Sol, and Harry Raab (Rabishevsky) grew up poor on New York's lower East Side. Once their father passed away, the boys were forced to find work. Morris, at age twelve, started working in the clothing industry. Morris' life serves as the backdrop for the entire story.
As time passed, Morris and Sol started their own clothing business. Money was good, and they were doing well in their professions. But organized crime ruled the day, and labor unions were being installed in many of the other clothing operations. Led by such figures as Louis "Lemke" Buchalter and "Dutch" Schultz, these men would use force and intimidation to persuade a business to allow workers to unionize. Morris and Sol, one of the last hold-out companies face an inevitable showdown with Lemke and his mob. To make matters even more interesting, Harry has become involved with Lemke's thugs.
One by one, Morris' friends in the business have either been forced out or killed. Morris, one of the few survivors, knows he must do something; but at what cost? Eventually working with special prosecutor Thomas Dewey, Morris takes his chance at bringing down Lemke and his cronies. But will it be enough?
I've read Andrew Gross' previous books "Saboteur" and "The One Man", and I enjoyed each very much. "Button Man" is equally as good. I enjoyed reading the story because I didn't know much about this period in history. As for the story itself, it is catching from the very beginning. The characters, especially Morris, his wife Ruthie, and Sol are very well-developed. Many real-life characters, including Arnold Rothstein, are included.
If you enjoy good historical fiction novels, then don't miss "Button Man". Highly recommended.

An Incredible Historical Thriller that you can't put down!
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
Verified Purchase
An historical thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat and gasping for breath as a family struggles against organized crime in New York City in the 1930's. The story follows the lives of the Rabishevsky's who must try to manage and stay together after their father dies. The three boys goes their separate ways to find work to help their mother and two sisters.
Harry, torn by his guilt over his twin brother's accidental death, feels lost and alone and unloved by his family. He turns to and becomes involved with thugs and an organized crime boss. Sol and Morris find work in the garment district after dropping out of school at twelve years old. The Mob is everywhere and soon infiltrate the garment business that Morris and Sol have created. This story chronicles the struggles of these men and others as they try to keep their businesses in spite of the threats of the mob.
The author has created another wonderful story. This one is even more special in that it is based on the life of his grandfather, a brave, courageous and heroic individual. His grandfather stood up to the crime bosses and helped save lives and businesses in the process enabling the police to clean up the city.
A worthwhile and intriguing read that I highly recommend. Andrew Gross is one of my favorite writers of thrillers.

An Inside View of the Garment Industry
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful story based on real historical facts, taken from this author's grandfather life, made into a book story. The story starts with the day that one of the brothers died from being run over by the horse-drawn firetruck on its way to the Temple fire where their father worked. The family is Jewish and lives in NYC in the neighborhood section primarily inhabited by Jews. NYC was sectioned off into tenement sections decided by similar ethnic background. When Morris who was the youngest was turning 13, he became an apprentice at a garment factory to learn a trade since he disliked school studies. By the time he was 21, he owned his own business, after having learned all parts of the knowledge from the owners of the factory he worked at. He had a good friend Irv, who was more of a book person, whose parents paid for someone to act as a bodyguard for him while traveling the streets. After the tragic fire in 1911, at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, where 146 workers were killed, started a trend for unions to protect the workers. But mobsters gained control of the unions to gain control of the union funds to their benefit, not the workers. There began a process by the mobsters to force factory owners to go union or they faced the destruction of their business and injury or death. Morris doesn't want to bend to these brutal tactics, not just because he's a fair employer but because of the restrictions placed on the owners to buy products equal in quality to what they brought before, which was worse for the business in the long run. A lot of well-known mobsters are mentioned as part of this story and not all were Italians as some think. What was most impressive in this story was how the mobsters of all denominations preyed on their own. Brutality had no discrimination. One thing I can testify to is that those were very brutal times in NYC, as my parents were children growing up during the times described in this book, which explains why they moved to the Bronx, right after I was born, to get away from those streets. This author present real history within a fictional story. Great read.

Another historical fiction gem from Andrew Gross
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
Verified Purchase
I've read all of Andrew's stories, and have appreciated all, but since he turned to historical fiction with The One Man (another worthy read) he has been a serious deliverer of history that is not far from non-fiction.
Andrew's Button Man, is actually based on his brave, gutsy grandfather's hardships and triumphs in the early days of unions and protectionism in NYC's garment industry. The good guys were the Jews who worked hard and employed the workers. The bad guys were the Jews who exploited, robbed, beat up and killed the owners of the factories. Dutch Shultz and others were the bad guys, and Thomas Dewey helped put them away, in the end.
Personally, Andrew Gross' s grandfather character, Morris Raab, was a gutsy kid who stood up to Louis Buchalter, a rough kid in the neighborhood. Louis grew up to be one of the mob leaders and cut Morris some slack, but it didn't last.
Morris had relationships with his brothers, one of whom felt alienated from the family because he was blamed for his twin' s death as a kid, and, later when blamed for allowing the mob into Morris' s factory to burn it down.
There's a lot that's disturbing to read but, as with the Holocaust, these events are based on reality, and this cannot be ignored.
You'll be glad you read this story, and you will shed a tear on the last page. Don't skip to that last page, though. Read the whole book!

Lots of the books I read seem to be geared towards women. I recommend this book for all readers. The history of the garment center and the Jewish Mob is fascinating. I loved the main character, Morris Rabb, a true hero. I routed for him all the way through. Excellent twist at the end, did not expect it at all and won't spoil it for you. Then the last chapter gave me the happy ending I always hope for in a book...it wrapped up his whole life (written in italics). I felt like they were family - was very tense at times. Then I read the authors notes at the very end and when I discovered the main character was his grandfather and this was a true story, I liked it even more; my rating went from a 4 to a 5. I realized that's why I felt the love for this family, the author wrote it with love for his Grandpa. A beautiful tribute to an astonishing man. He would've been very proud of his grandson who has become an excellent writer. CH

I always love Andrew Gross' books, but this one really stands out. I loved the theme, time period and the very powerful characters. I didn't realize until after I finished the book and read the acknowledgments that this was based on his grandfather's story. That made the whole story more compelling. He wrote in the first person as if Morris was telling his life story. That added to the personal impact of the book. I was especially moved by the ending when Morris was telling his story to a reporter who was recording stories about people who experienced this period. Gross tied up so many details in such a tender way. Thank you Andrew Gross for sharing this story, albeit somewhat embellished, with us. It is a great book!

While our original flavor lemonade is how we started, our flavored lemonades are extremely popular, especially with adults. Mint Ginger, Blueberry Lavender, and Blood Orange are consistent favorites.
All of our flavors are made with real fresh fruit and natural ingredients. No syrup flavorings, extracts, or powders. So for example, when we make Lychee Basil, real fresh lychees (not frozen or canned) and real basil leaves are used. With our Pineapple Orange, we don't use store-bought pasteurized juices and add them to our lemonade. We juice them ourselves. So you get the idea. Wheel Lemonade. Real Ingredients.
Our flavors are not your typical flavors. We like to be innovative and unique with what we make. So no Pink Lemonade, whatever that is, or anything you're used to seeing in the stores. Some of our unique flavors include Watermelon Cinnamon, Red Plum, Kumquat Lime, and Pear Vanilla Bean.

Up for sale are FOUR of the earliest and most interesting ORIGINAL STAR WARS ADVANCES in MINT CONDITION! I've posted detailed information and research about these IMPORTANT ORIGINALS. George Lucas' company started marketing Star Wars in 1976. In the 2007 book, "The Making Of Star Wars, " great detail is given about The Star Wars Corporation's early marketing of the film. It mentions that at the comic book conventions in 1976, when the Howard Chaykin poster [Star Wars Poster 1] was released, the Star Wars Corporation, a.
LUCASFILM, handed out a two-sided flyer advertising the upcoming movie (see photos #1, 2, & 3). Made LONG BEFORE the completion of the film, the flyer speaks of many elements that were eventually changed.
Great early Star Wars stuff is printed on this unique handout. It's more than AMAZING to read and a must have for any serious Star Wars collection. Very few originals have survived.
It's unquestionably a real treasure and an exceptionally early item. In fact, it's the earliest item that was distributed to the public on Star Wars. This example is NOT a copy! This is one of the actual originals that were made for the table Howard Chaykin used to sell and sign his now famous Star Wars advance posters at.
Sought after original Star Wars movie posters (see photo #1 and 5). Fox distributed all 3 of these.
The original 20th Century-Fox press-book for Star Wars instructs theater managers to wild post in and around campuses; on bulletin boards, in meeting halls, cafeterias, bookstores, music shops, everywhere students congregate. These SUPER RARE ADVANCE SET of mini window posters were used for that exact purpose, as well as being displayed at the movie theater ticket counters. When Fox began to market Star Wars in early 1977 they could not decide on how to market the film.
Mark Hamill did a QVC television program on Oct. 28, 1992 and was quoted to say, When [Star Wars] opened we didn't have any posters--we just had photographs outside the building. " He elaborates by saying that, "Fox wasn't sure what campaign to go with--an adventure, a 2001 odyssey, etc. The 3 mini window posters offered here demonstrate nicely the early Star Wars campaign in progress.The wordy Teaser pictured in the middle speaks of "Imagination" but does not deliver. This "Odyssey" style poster was dropped from the campaign early on before the film's release. It was ONLY made in this mini window and jumbo (84x91 inch) 7-sheet size. The final version of a teaser made for the Star Wars campaign, taken from the film's lead-in, was only ready shortly before the May 25th release date in 1977. Have been used by the motion picture industry since the silent film days.
Not all films released had mini window posters. Mostly big films such as The Wizard of Oz, King Kong, Casablanca, all the way to 2001: A Space Odyssey used mini window posters.
They are among the rarest of all posters made, MUCH RARER than the one sheets! Most were hung and used, few survived.
No Star Wars poster collection is complete without these! All 3 of these posters are in MINT condition! The first one with the May 25 release date measures 7 1/2" x 6 3/4". The "Odyssey" version with the PG logo measures 9 1/2" x 7 1/2, " and the Final version with the Dolby logo measures 8x10 inches and the STAR WARS CORPORATION 1976 FLYER measures 8 1/2" x 11".

John Nunnally Receives the Kiwanis Walter Zeller Fellowship Award
May 1, 2012
John Nunnally has received the Walter Zeller Fellowship Award from the Raleigh Kiwanis Foundation. He received the honor in recognition of his contributions to the Kiwanis International joint "The Eliminate Project" with UNICEF. The award was presented April 27, 2012 at the Raleigh Kiwanis Foundation meeting.
Kiwanis International joined forces with UNICEF in 2010 to change the world for millions of mothers and babies who have maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). The deadly disease, marked by extreme pain, kills nearly 100,000 mothers and newborns each year, mainly due to inadequate immunization and a lack of safe-delivery services and improper post-partum care. The majority of these deaths occur in 40 countries located in Africa, East Asia and South Asia. Nearly 600,000 Kiwanis volunteers are mobilizing to raise resources and awareness about MNT and The Eliminate Project as part of their mission to serve the world's children.
John has been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Raleigh since 2000 and has previously received the C. A. Dillon, Jr. Fellowship Award and the Carl B. Hyatt Fellowship Award for his contributions to Camp Victory Junction, a camp for children with life-threatening illnesses or disabilities located in Randleman, North Carolina.

Important parameters
The most important parameters for technological breakthroughs are:
- Standardisation
- Efficiency
- Costs
- Reliability and scalability
An effort must be made to create a standard for photonics. Less diversity will lead to a higher return on development and a better market penetration.
Advantages of standardisation are:
- Products or services become inner changeable, this will make scaling easier and reduce time of development. Quality of solutions will increase while costs will decrease;
- Labour can be made more efficient;
- Methods and results can be compared easily;
- Less diversity will lead to less mistakes.
A high efficiency is one of the advantages that photonics has over electronics. Photonics is faster and more energy efficient than electronics are. This is a key point in why we should invest in photonics to optimise all kinds of appliances.
Getting the costs down to its lowest point possible is a challenge for every new technique. The lower the costs, the lower the threshold to start using this new technique. This could lead to more development in different applications, more development could then again lead to decreasing costs.
Reliability and scalability
To ensure a good market penetration of photonics it is absolutely crucial that photonic components are reliable. When the reliability of photonic components is ensured, scalability start to play an important part. Small components and small photonic integrated circuits could lead to the development of smaller, hand held appliances for things we wouldn't even think possible at the moment.

HP Envy 5540 print preferences error message on Windows 10
HP ENVY 5540 Firmware: NBP1CN1741AR Software: 036.000.072.54013 Printer Driver: 20.79.01.6594
HP Envy Desktop (Model TE01-0014 Product #6YQ60AA#ABA) Windows 10 version 1903
I have bee trying to get my HP Envy 5540 Printer to print in color on my new HP Envy Desktop with Windows 10.
I had trouble back in October, 2019 with printing preferences on My Windows 7 HP desktop. It works perfectly on my Windows 7 desktop now, but I cannot get it to work on the new computer with Windows 10. It is compatible per the HP website.
I downloaded EN5540_Full_WebPack_1119.exe, the full driver package. But not all of the printing preferences appeared. When I selected printing preferences there was no color option and there was no print duplex.
I have been loading and unloading this driver package for two days. I have unplugged the printer I don't know how many times any more. I have followed instructions to completely remove the printer. I have used different HP tools to help install; one had links to pages that no longer exist. For a while Print and San doctor crashed on the drivers test.
HP Print and Scan Doctor finally has the printer working to print in black and white, but now when I click on preferences I get an error message. (see attached)
I have seen where people have completely given up on HP to resolve this issue and gone to Windows drivers instead, but with mixed results. Last October, during my efforts to fix this on my Windows 7, I suddenly found my printer scanning with the Windows scanning program. The interface sucks. I prefer the HP program and I know the printer is OK as it works fine now on the Windows 7 computer.
This has been a problem for many for a long time. Does anyone know of any recent solutions for getting this printer to work on a Windows 10 computer?

Hi @mpw101
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you. This issue is because of a conflict between the printer driver and the Win 10 OS. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
- On the PC, go to Control panel > Devices and printers > Add a printer(at the top)
- Under 'Choose a device or printer', click on 'The printer I want isn't listed'.
- Select 'Add a printer using a TCP/IP address'
- Find the IP address of the printer by tapping on the wireless icon on the printer screen
- Type in the 'IP address in Hostname or IP address' box, click next
- Proceed to the next steps by following the on-screen instructions.
- Try printing in color.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
Click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say "Thanks" for helping!
Have a great day!

Thank you for your reply but techs at Windows 10 and HP advised there was a hardware problem and told me to take it back. Best Buy accepted the return and I am waiting for a new computer.
If I have trouble again I will try your solution and let you know if it helped. As I watched the techs take over my computer I think they tried this.

July is National Blueberry Month and because everyone loves blueberries, we wanted to highlight some of the health benefits of a pretty power-packed fruit. Aside from adding wonderful color to smoothies (a great way to hide greens for your kids), blueberries contain special compounds or phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack by a whopping 34%! As well, these special nutrients are one of the highest antioxidant fruits and have been shown to improve memory, soften skin, support eye health, support normal blood sugar, prevent muscle fatigue after exercise, protects the colon and nervous system not to mention providing an abundance of antioxidants which help your your cells remain healthy and strong.
Freezing them has little to no effect on their nutritional value which makes them perfect for blending into cool summer drinks. Recent studies have also shown that the nutrient value of organic vs commercially-grown blueberries is significant. It was also clear that buying locally-grown blueberries provided an even greater amount of these important phytochemicals. They are high in vitamin K and manganese, both important for bone health. For the maximum health benefit, try to consume 3 cups per week.
So next time you're at the farmer's market, be sure to pick up several baskets of blueberries, some to eat fresh and the rest to freeze. And maybe even freeze a few extra to freeze for later use!
Here is one of my favorite smoothie recipes:
Blueberry Colada Smoothie
2 cups fresh (or frozen) blueberries
1 cup ice if using fresh blueberries
½ cup coconut milk
½ cup pineapple juice
1 ripe banana
1 Tbs. honey if desired
Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses and serve.
