Don and Lolane wintered each winter in St. George relishing their time together with family and seeking yard sales.
Amanda and I are struggling to keep up with visiting the new Utah Temples. In 2006 we had a goal to visit all then eleven Utah Temples. We ended up hitting Bountiful, Jordan River, Logan, Manti, Monticello, Mt. Timpanogos, Ogden (before rebuilt), Provo, St George, Salt Lake, and Vernal.
In the intervening years and miles for us, Brigham City, Draper, Oquirrh, and Ogden have been dedicated (or rededicated).
Since we arrived back in the Intermountain West, we have struggled to get to these new temples. Now with a family and two work schedules, taking the time to hit the new Utah Temples has taken a little more time and effort. Here is a picture of our visit to the Draper Temple in 2013.
We had better hurry to catch up some because Cedar City, Payson, and Provo City are all in the works.
I thought I would write on my Great Grandfather's brother in anticipation of his birthday, he would be 125 this year. Growing up, I never knew of Uncle John Nelson Jonas likely because nobody in my family ever knew him. He passed away at the ripe age of 30 in 1918, a victim of Influenza. The family knew of his widow as she lived on Main Street in Richmond, Cache, Utah and associated with their children. Since I have some pictures of his family, I thought I would make them available. My Great Grandfather Joseph Nelson Jonas did not live to be much older and so personal memories of him were lost many decades ago as well.
John Nelson Jonas was the fourth of seven children born in the marriage of Annetta Josephine Nelson and Joseph Jonas 14 August 1888 in or near Ellensburg, Kittitas, Washington. He was christened 10 September 1888 at St. Andrews in Ellensburg. About 1896, John's mother, Annie, went to the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane in Fancher, Spokane, Washington (she is listed as Ann J Jonas). She was in and out of hospitals throughout her life but as John was one of the older children, he would have known his mother a little better.
Annie got out of the Eastern Washington Hospital 31 October 1899 and went home to Ellensburg and continued to be a handful for the family. The family on the 1900 Census was in Cle Elum, Kittitias, Washington. Although that census does not include Annie and the census that year has Joseph Sr in both Cle Elum and Spokane about two weeks apart in June 1900. Annie must have been back in Fancher. Annie's sister, Charlotte, visited in 1901. Due to Annie's mental and emotional state, and with Joseph's approval, the Jonas family went to Utah to stay temporarily with Annie's brother, Nels August Nelson. Uncle August lived in Crescent, Salt Lake, Utah and the Jonas party arrived 3 July 1901 from Washington.
Joseph for one reason or another went back to Washington with the oldest child Margaret. Nels suggested it was legal issues; it might have just been the farm that needed attention. Annie's issues were such that Nels and his wife, Fidelia, signed an affidavit of insanity and had her admitted to the Utah State Hospital 1 November 1901.
Joseph had been raised as a Catholic and Annie Nelson had been raised LDS. Annie decided she did not like LDS men and wanted to marry a Gentile and did so. The children were raised Catholic in Washington. Now in Utah, Uncle August made sure the children learned about the LDS faith. The three boys, John, William, and Joseph, elected to be baptized LDS on 10 January 1902 in Crescent by their Uncle August in an ice-covered Jordan River. All three were confirmed 12 January 1902 by Jaime P Jensen. Rosa joined 6 February 1902, also in Crescent under the hand of Uncle August in a hole chipped in the Jordan River. Margaret did not join as she stayed near her father in Washington.
In 1904, Rosa married a boy, Christian Andersen, from Richmond. They married in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. They moved to 137 E 100 S in Richmond. John and his brothers resided with Uncle August until after their mother passed in 1907, then they would regularly and for prolonged periods stay with Rosa in Richmond. William and John were both ordained Elders 6 January 1908 in Crescent. In Richmond, both were again ordained Seventies 19 September 1909 by Charles Hart (1866 – 1934, 1st Council of Seventy). John was endowed in the Logan LDS Temple 1 October 1909 and left to serve in the Southern States Mission. He left 10 October 1909, arrived at Chattanooga, Hamilton, Tennessee 18 Oct, Montgomery, Montgomery, Alabama 21 Oct, and formally starting 25 October 1909. The 1910 Census lists John at home in Crescent.
I understand John attended Brigham Young College in Logan but I don't know any of the details of when or if he graduated. Nellie told her nephew, Ellis Jonas, that John was the only one of the brothers who could keep a level head. Just remember the source of that compliment – his wife.
John met Nellie Armina Andersen, a cousin of Rosa's husband Christian, while staying in Richmond. Nellie and John fell in love and were married 5 June 1912 in the Logan, Cache, Utah at the LDS Temple.
The above photo indicates it was taken in Salt Lake City at Cusworth's Studio. We don't know the occasion, but it must have been something to dress up for, or just a sitting for a portrait. Either way, the photo was shared with my Great Grandmother.
The wedding announcement in the Logan Republican on 25 June 1925, "On June 5th Mr. John Jonas and Miss Nellie Anderson of this place were married in the Logan Temple. Mr. Jonas is managing his Uncle's farm at Murray, Utah. After a family reception at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Armina Anderson, the couple departed for Murray where they will make their future home."
John and Nellie had three children.
Calvin Andersen Jonas born 6 August 1913 and died 17 June 1991 both in Richmond. He married Viola Florence Chapman (1921 – 2006) on 30 March 1957 in Elko, Elko, Nevada. Calvin lived in his mother's home until he passed away and then Viola remained in the same home until her passing. It was Calvin who took the land and created a trailer park on the rest of the property to the welcome or chagrin of Richmond. Calvin and Viola did not have any children, although Viola brought children to the marriage from her previous marriage. I last visited Viola about 2005 and Viola had her daughter Dixie living with her to take care of her, the trailer park, and their ceramic store.
Melvin Andersen Jonas born 13 March 1917 in Richmond and drowned 16 Jul 1944 in San Marcos, Hays, Texas while he was in training at San Marcos Army Air Field. Apparently he had just married Doris Everts on 17 March 1944 somewhere in Texas. It is not believed they had any children. Melvin was a lieutenant in the Army.
John and Nellie purchased a home 3 April 1917 on the corner of Main and 200 E in Richmond (now 195 E Main). The entire lot one, block 25 of Richmond City came with the home for $1,200.00. They moved in when Melvin was only a few days old. When John registered for the World War I Draft, he indicated he was a laborer at Utah Condensed Milk Company in Richmond.
I have included a copy of the full Draft Registration. It is interesting to note John's signature on the first page.
Nellie became pregnant and while with their third children tragedy struck. John caught the spreading Influenza virus in the epidemic of 1918 and passed away shortly before Christmas on 19 December 1918 at home in Richmond. Nellie gave birth to their last child months later.
Our cousin, Carvel Jonas wrote of John's death, "'Prior to 1974, 38 major flu outbreaks had been recorded, including the disastrous pandemic in 1918 which attached an estimated 500 million people, leaving 20 million dead,' according to Science Digest March 1975. The severity of the 1918 pandemic was due to the fact that it lasted for more than 14 months; ordinary epidemics in the average community last no more than six weeks before running their course,' quoted from 'The Encyclopedia of Common Diseases, p 722; by the Staff of Prevention Magazine, co 1976'. Unfortunately John was one of the estimated 20 million who died."
Carvel also writes, "Before John died he would play hide and seek with his two boys. After John died the boys thought that their father was still playing the game and would try to find him when Nellie would come home."
His obituary in the Deseret News stated, "Funeral of John Jonas. Richmond, Dec 30 – Funeral services were held Sunday for John Jonas who died of Pneumonia, following influenza. Mrs. A. A. Thomas and W.J. Thomas of Salt Lake furnished music. The speakers were Bishop P.N. Nelson, Bishop J.L. McCarrey, and A.S. Schow. The deceased is survived by a wife and two small children and several brothers and sisters. The flu conditions have so well improved that the local health board has permitted the opening of places of amusement."
Armina Andersen Jonas was born 5 March 1919 in Richmond and died 30 March 2011 in St. George, Washington, Utah. She married Don Farnes (1916 – 1978) 10 March 1937 in Logan. Don was gone by the time I was born, but I remember stopping to visit Armina at her home in Kimberly, Twin Falls, Idaho with my Grandma in the late 1980's. I stopped the last time in Kimberly about 2008 shortly before she moved to live with her daughter in Southern Utah.
Nellie remarried to Arnold Thornley (1893 – 1969) on 14 April 1926 in Logan. It must not have been a very long marriage as very few seemed to remember him.
Nellie continued to live in their home until she passed away 11 December 1953 in Salt Lake City of myocarditis.
Her obituary stated, "Nellie A. Jonas – Richmond, Cache County – Mrs. Nellie Andersen Jonas, 64, died Friday night in a Salt Lake hospital after an operation. Born July 26, 1889 at Richmond, daughter of George and Armina Carson Andersen. Resident in Richmond entire life. Married to John N. Jonas in 1912, in Logan L.D.S. Temple. He died in 1918. Active in L.D.S. Church…" I need to get a copy of the full obituary to share it.
John and Nellie are buried together in the Richmond Cemetery. All three children are buried within a stone's throw. John's father and Nellie's parents are also a stone's throw away.
I thought I would share this photo because I have it and do not know how many others do. This is the five sons of Isabella Sharp and Joseph Carlisle. Isabella is the sister to my William Sharp, who I have written about previously at this link: Sharp-Bailey Wedding. Here are some of the details of the family, but I do not really know much more. They have a pretty large family with plenty of family historians so I will let them write the Carlisle history (which I know they have probably already done)
Joseph Carlisle was born 21 July 1826 in Sherwood on the Hill, Nottinghamshire, England and died 17 March 1912 in Millcreek, Salt Lake, Utah.
Isabella Sharp was born 22 December 1831 in Misson, Nottinghamshire, England and died 29 March 1904 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. Her parents were Thomas Sharp and Elizabeth Cartwright Sharp. If you search her brother, mentioned above, you can read more about her parents and family.
Joseph and Isabella were married 18 May 1853 in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri.
Joseph Richard Carlisle was born 19 December 1854 in Millcreek and died 2 April 1935 in Salt Lake City. He married Lily Naomi Titcomb 29 November 1853 in Salt Lake City in the Endowment House.
Isabella Jane Carlisle was born 12 April 1857 in Salt Lake City and died 1 April 1928 in Salt Lake City. She married Joseph William Walters 3 January 1875 in the Endowment House.
Thomas Matthew Carlisle was born 12 April 1857 in Salt Lake City and died 10 March 1869 in Millcreek.
James Sharp Carlisle was born 4 September 1859 in Millcreek and died 2 December 1938 in Millcreek. He married Keturah White 11 February 1885 in Logan, Cache, Utah in the Logan Temple.
Ezra Taylor Carlisle was born 14 August 1861 in Millcreek and died 12 February 1862 in Millcreek.
Elizabeth Ann Carlisle was born 24 November 1862 in Millcreek and died 6 November 1881 in Millcreek. She was engaged to married John Calder Mackay and obviously died before that marriage could take place. On 21 December 1881 in St. George, Washington, Utah Isabella performed Elizabeth's eternal ordinances in the St. George Temple. Isabella also stood in as proxy as Elizabeth was sealed to John Mackay, who accompanied Isabella to St. George.
William Frederick Carlisle was born 14 November 1864 in Millcreek and died 5 January 1922 in Millcreek. He married Sarah Ann Rogers 23 December 1897 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Harvey Cartwright Carlisle was born 22 September 1866 in Millcreek and died 3 July 1935 in Holladay, Salt Lake, Utah. He married Lucy Carline Cahoon 21 January 1891 in the Logan Temple. After her death he married Amelia Annie Towler 16 January 1901 in the Salt Lake Temple. After her death he married Emily Steven McDonald 19 July 1923 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Herbert Towle Carlisle was born 23 August 1868 in Millcreek and died 25 October 1870 in Millcreek.
Orman Carlisle was born 8 May 1871 in Millcreek and died 9 May 1871 in Millcreek.
Carrie Brown Carlisle was born 18 November 1872 in Millcreek and died 15 July 1873 in Millcreek.
Ether Franklin Carlisle was born 11 September 1873 in Millcreek and died 4 May 1915 in Salt Lake City. He married Maude Miller Harman 10 November 1897 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Rosamond Pearl Carlisle was born 29 July 1875 in Millcreek and died 13 June 1921 in Murray, Salt Lake, Utah. She married Uriah George Miller 19 February 1902 in the Salt Lake Temple.
The family certainly lost quite a few children. But all those who lived to marry did so in a LDS temple, or its equivalent at the time.
George Henry and Minnie Van Leeuwen are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Dena to David Delos Donaldson, son of Mary Elizabeth Donaldson and the late William Scott Donaldson. David and Dena were married in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah on 16 July 1919.
David is currently an independent plumber in Ogden, Weber, Utah.
The couple will return to make their home at 2310 Grant Avenue in Ogden, Utah.
David Delos Donaldson (he went by Dave, his son also went by Dave or Davie, so to keep them clear, I will refer to father as David and son as Dave) was born 26 March 1894 in Evanston, Uinta, Wyoming. He was the second of seven children born to William Scott Donaldson and Mary Elizabeth Williams. I have previously written of David's parents at this link: Donaldson-Williams. David grew up in Evanston, Uinta, Wyoming and Park City, Summit, Utah before moving to 2270 Moffits Avenue, now 2270 Ogden Avenue, in Ogden, by the time he was six. He lived at this address until he moved to Twin Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho to work for Ballantyne Plumbing Company as a Sham Filler. When he registered for the World War I draft on 5 June 1917, he was living on Shoshone Street North in Twin Falls and listed that his mother and two siblings were dependent on him. He may have listed this in hopes of not being drafted.
Ballantyne Plumbing & Heating Company was newly incorporated (about 1916) by Varsell Ballantyne who had just moved from Ogden. Varsell had been one of the incorporators of The Ogden Plumbing, Gas & Steam Fitting Company in 1904 or 05. He had worked in the same spheres as David's father and probably felt some desire to help the Donaldson family and invited David to Twin Falls. He may also have been the master to which David was an apprentice, or another plumber worked with in the Ogden PG&S Company. While David worked for Ballantyne Plumbing Company, it was located at 145 Second Avenue East in Twin Falls. David lived on Shoshone Street North, probably not far from his employment.
The draft card indicates that he had gray eyes, black hair, and stood tall and stout. David served in the U.S. Army during World War I. When he was finally drafted, he went to Utah to report with his two brothers who were also drafted (another brother would also serve in World War I). Unfortunately, the government cannot find his service paperwork and very little is known of his time served. His obituary indicates he served in the 91st Division of the Army. We do not know his dates, but this division fought in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel in 1918 and went on to fight in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive through the rest of the year. It was in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive that David would receive his life lasting injuries to his lungs from the dreaded gasses of World War I. One lung collapsed and never worked again, the other lost a large percentage of its capacity. He would receive weekly treatment for the rest of his life (over 30 years) for these injuries at the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake. He became a member of the Disabled American Veterans, Ogden Chapter 4.
Berendena Van Leeuwen, who went by Dena, was born 28 December 1898 in Ogden. She was the 10th of 12 children born to Gerhardus Hendrik and Hermina Janzen Van Leeuwen. I have written of George and Minnie's marriage here: Van Leeuwen – Janzen Wedding.
Nine of these children would live to adulthood and marry. Both parents joined the LDS church in 1887 and immediately sought to immigrate to Zion. The family immigrated to Utah in 1888. Gerhardus waited until the next year to immigrate. Gerhardus had fallen from a ladder at work giving him head injuries that lead to epileptic seizures and bouts of insanity. These considerations were perceived as mental illness at the time and could have kept the family from being admitted had they all come together. The Van Leeuwen's immigrated from Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands. In the United States, Dena's parents were known as George Henry and Minnie Van Leeuwen. The Van Leeuwen family lived at various places in Ogden, mostly near Wall Avenue and 33rd Street. Her father worked as a carpenter, more on the finishing side, for employment. George may have even known of the Donaldson family. Dena was baptized in the LDS church 7 November 1907 in Ogden. The family was extremely tight knit and was known for their large and very tasty family meals. If company came over, a meal was put on.
George's head and mental injuries continued to worsen as the years passed. The family either had to keep him safe or calm him down before. By the time 1911 rolled around, his fits were becoming uncontrollable. Dena referred to her "Daddy" as tender and sweet and then at the switch he would become angry and threatening. He had made enough threats and raised enough raucous that neighbors called the police. George was committed to the Utah State Mental Hospital in Provo, Utah, Utah in 1911 when Dena was 13. The family tried to get him out and succeeded. Unfortunately, he lost control again and ended up spending the rest of his life in the mental hospital. The family would drive down nearly every weekend to pick up "Daddy" and keep him for the weekend before taking him back. By the mid 1920's, they could not even take him home on the weekends his condition was that poor and uncontrollable. "Momma Minnie," as she was known to friends, died in 1921 in Ogden. George died in 1932 in Provo.
Dena as one of the youngest children of the family was known among siblings as telling slight variations of stories to other siblings such that it would cause some contention within the ranks. While the siblings were never distant from each other, a feud of one sort or another was always brewing or being fought. It would always pass, but Dena often started many of the feuds and received a bit of flak for it.
David returned from the war and met Dena Van Leeuwen. We do not know about the courtship or how they met. We do not know why they chose to be married in Salt Lake. David and Dena took a honeymoon to California.
David resumed work as a plumber in the 1920's in the Ogden area. Between 1920 and 1928, 5 children were born to David and Dena, all in Ogden. Twins named Dena Dorothy and Dora Mary were born 28 May 1920.
Gladys Maxine arrived 20 September 1921. Here is a picture of the three kids with Gladys against the wheel of the car.
Maxine appeared 3 August 1924. Lastly a boy, David William came 25 November 1928.
A shot of all 5 children on the front porch of the home that David built at 629 8th Street in Ogden.
Here is a picture of the home from the side. You can see from this point that the home is probably older than 1920's and that Dave probably added the addition onto the back rather than building the entire home.
In 1930, the family lived at 753 Browning Avenue in Salt Lake. We do not know how long they were there, but they moved back pretty quickly to Ogden living on 8th Street. Times were hard during the 1930's so David went to Boulder City, Clark, Nevada to work on the building of the new Boulder Dam (later named Hoover). He also headed to Napa, Napa, California to work in the shipyards as a pipe fitter, primarily on submarines. Jennie Bremer, a niece to David and Dena, told of a funny story when David was replacing the plumbing in their home after a serious earthquake in Los Angeles. David was deathly afraid of earthquakes and while he was working in the basement or under a cupboard if an aftershock hit he would rise up and run from the house. He told Jennie at one point that he did not want to be caught in the basement if the house should fall. Well, being little kids, they played with this some. They would sneak to the window of the room he was working in and shake the screen and windows in a way that sounded like an earthquake. She said it was funny to see a man as big as "Uncle Dave" to hop up and run out of a room like that. They would laugh and laugh over it. They made sure not to do it too often so he would not suspect anything and she does not believe he ever knew of the joke they would pull on him at least once every time he visited. She did comment it was a bit sad to see him winded for a while after he hopped and ran, but the guilt from it would only come later in life as she realized what she had done to him.
David would often visit family to help with their homes or other needs. He also come home to Ogden fairly regularly on the weekends to visit the family. He finally found employment in Ogden at the Ogden Depot in 1937 as Supervisor of Maintenance. In 1939, the family returned to visit the area David had worked, Donaldson extended family in the bay area, and the 1939 San Francisco World Fair.
After World War II, the family moved to 639 Wall Avenue.
Life in the 1940's treated the Donaldson family much better, even despite the war. David still had his penny-pinching ways. Dave would refer to David as the "King of the Tight Wads." Dave started working about 12 years old as a shoe polisher at a barber shop on Washington Ave. David had told Dave that now he was 12, he was expected to be a man and take care of himself, that the Donaldson household would no longer be carrying him. When he brought his paycheck home, David would take half of it for the family. This incensed Dave over the years and he quit reporting his full pay to his father, who took half of it. David even went on to require Dave to pay rent for his space upstairs in the Wall Ave home. Sometime between 1942 and 1945, David's mother's husband had passed away and she wanted to move in with the Donaldson family. David tried to get Dave to move his bed to the back porch so his mother could take the upstairs. Dave made it very clear he would move his bed, but it would be out of the house and he would never come back. David's mother did not move in and Dave kept his "apartment" even after he married.
David insisted that Dena only needed two dresses and no more. The family would often buy her dresses, shoes, or other things for her birthday and Christmas, so she did not ultimately go without. But he refused to buy for himself or for her. Dave and Betty Donaldson got a pretty serious scolding one time for buying Dena a crystal berry bowl indicating that it was going to spoil Dena and the family.
Dena grew up LDS and David did not. Dena saw that all her children were raised LDS with little difficulty from David. Apparently smoking is what kept him from being baptized. When the time would come for Gladys to marry, the Bishop determined that he was not going to allow them to be married in the temple without David being a member. David had made it known he did not want any of his girls to marry a poor boy and would not submit. All four of the girls married in the next two years, and then Dave in 1953. Interestingly, David never joined the LDS church, but the family put it into the obituary that he was a member. Gladys ended up being married in the Donaldson home on 8th Street, but David refused to allow the Donaldson Bishop to do the honors, so the Plain City Bishop of Glady's husband, Milo Ross, performed the wedding.
Gladys married Milo James Ross 4 April 1942.
Dena married Chauncey De Orr Michaelson 7 December 1943.
Maxine married Sterlin Delaino Telford 24 December 1943.
Dora married Malcolm Claire Birch 11 September 1943.
Dave married Betty May Oram 12 April 1953.
David retired in 1949 from the Ogden Defense Depot due to his physical condition and inability to breathe. About this time, the family took a trek to visit family and friends throughout the west and to see some national and church historical sites. Included was Hoover Dam, St. George Utah Temple, Mesa Arizona Temple, Cove Fort, Lake Mead, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
The family, not caring about the thoughts of others, loaded the car and set off. Dena, who loved and raised canaries, insisted they come with her. So the canaries rode in cages that were wired to the outside of the car (and the canaries lived through the entire trek). Dave joked that driving around they looked like the Beverly Hillbillies in their early 40's sedan with bird cages wired to the back of the car.
David would claim that the only relief he could receive for his lungs was through smoking cigarettes which would calm his breathing and ease the pain. Remembering also, this was also a slogan for some cigarette companies! He picked up smoking while still in the military, but he would become a chain smoker very early on. The smoking would later aid in his death from emphysema. It was not uncommon at all for David to light one cigarette from the one he was finishing. He was also known as a dirty smoker among the family in that he would allow the ashes to fall anywhere and would even throw his butts on the floor in the house, in the toilet, or even leave them in the drain of the bathtub after he finished bathing.
David's lung issues would come back to haunt him more and more as the years passed. The cigarettes were no longer delaying the pain or inevitable loss. His emphysema would come in fits to such a degree that he would be confined to bed and the family would have to place newspaper on the floor around the bed to catch the black phlegm (sometimes bloody) he would cough up. His emphysema would become more and more restraining on his life in the last 5 years of his life. It was the reason he had to take such an early retirement. In the end, he had a couple of days where he was coughing and could not breathe and went to the Veteran's Hospital in Salt Lake City. After a two day stay, the chronic lung disease caused a cor pulmonale that took his life on 24 September 1953. Four days later, he was buried in Ogden City Cemetery.
Dena moved on with her life and kept busy visiting and spending time with family. Dave, who had recently married and was living in an apartment upstairs, decided it was time for a major cleaning of the house. They completely and thoroughly cleaned the home, wall-papered and replaced wall-paper, and replaced the carpets and furniture to remove all the cigarette smoke grease and filth.
Betty told me that as long as she knew the family that she really loved Dena. She said everyone loved Dena. She said that when she remembers the home in Ogden on Wall, that every time she drove into the driveway that the curtains would part and a Dena's curly white hair, bright blue eyes, and big smile poke through with a little wave. Apparently she had an infectious laugh which was both giddy and happy.
Four of her siblings were still alive and she had 11 grandchildren by the time 1955 rolled around. Then one day she was visiting at the home of Jane (Jantjen in the Dutch) Bremer, her sister. Dena needed to hurry off and Jane warned her that she should not go. Jane was known in the family for having the gift of foretelling the future. Jane told Dena that if she left at that time she would be in a terrible accident. Dena gave no heed and left to go on her way. Dena was known by all to speed, and she was doing so this day. Sure enough, as she drove north on Wall Avenue in Ogden and at reaching 2nd street, a truck made a left hand turn from the right lane and hit the rear passenger side of the 1955 Oldsmobile. Her vehicle was sent careening and slammed broadside into a telephone pole on the north east corner of the intersection (133 feet from the point of impact). The initial hit threw her into the passenger side of the front seat with the passenger door open, her leg partially out of the opened door. Then the impact collapsed the dashboard in on her and slammed the open passenger door on her leg. She broke her hip, leg, and back with a number of other injuries. The door had closed and latched on her leg and had to be cut open. She was taken to the hospital where the family did not expect her to live. She underwent a pretty major hip and back operation.
Dena was put into a full body cast for the next six months that reached all the way up to her armpits. Dave created this bar with a rope/cloth over the bed by which she could lift herself up so they could place a bedpan under her to do her business. Betty would help her do the business, clean her up, and make sure her needs were tended. The cast was eventually removed but she could not properly walk or get around very well. She was pretty much confined to her home for the rest of her days. At times a little heat came into a relationship and she would go spend some time with one of her other children, but she came back. She had a terribly heavy hospital bed she used these last few years. Dave made it clear early on that once he moved that bed out of the house again, he was not ever moving it back in so her stays elsewhere were of short duration.
Dave and Betty would take Dena around to visit places and get out of the house. Betty joked that Dena loved to go fishing and that she could catch fish in the gutter if she tried. She had a gift for catching fish. Dave and Betty set up a little camp chair so she could fish on camping trips. They would leave her be for a while and she would giggle at the birds and once and a while one would fly to her. She giggled openly and happily at everything. Her grandson, Milo Ross, remembers her in the full body cast but yet she would smile and the whole world would smile with her. He thought she was a funny lady with tongue twisters, slight Dutch accent, and catchy little jingles.
Dena had problems with her body that come from inactivity, like regular kidney stones and other painful problems. But she always had a twinkle in her eye and a contagious laugh. She never, if ever, complained about the lot cast to her in life.
On the 5th of March, 1959, Betty Donaldson, Dena's daughter-in-law had finished work and was headed to the theater to catch a matinee. She felt a distinct impression that she should go home. Dave was at work and she had the whole afternoon free, so she did not see the need to go home. As she waited in line at the theater, she knew she needed to go home so she caught the bus. She made it home and all was well. She changed her clothes and then Dena called up to her. Dena had this sinking feeling in her chest, was not feeling very well, and was asking Betty for help. Betty called the Dr. and for an ambulance. Dave, who never called home from work, had felt impressed to call home. Betty was just headed up to the hospital. Dave met her there. Dena had suffered kidney failure which lead to a heart attack and she passed away that evening around 10:30 PM. She was buried four days later next to David in the Ogden City Cemetery.
Who would believe the 25th of February is almost here? I cannot believe how fast the months fly when you have your head in books. The odd part is that I don't feel like I am doing a very good job of keeping up with the reading. I cannot tell you how excited I am for the next semester where they add one more substantive class and remove the writing class. What will I do with life then? I need to start working on being more diligent and proactive.
In visiting with a couple of the 2L's I feel somewhat comforted with the notion of what is called mental fatigue. I think my eyes finally just accepted the fact they are going to be tired and quit twitching. Who knows. the twitch probably just moved to my neck or shoulder with a slight noise from the mouth when I do it. At any rate, this is not a new phenomenon. I thought perhaps I was going prematurely old or something wrong with the synapses in my brain where I would think one thing and completely say another. Just today in visiting, rather than saying doctor, I said dentist. To correct myself, I went to say doctor but somehow defendant come out. After a short pause, doctor finally came out. I laughed, Andrew laughed, and the conversation went on.
This weekend was a delightsome weekend. My Great Uncle Donald and Aunt Lolane Andra came to visit. They arrived on Friday and left this morning. They finished their mission around the 6th of February and have been working their way through the country back home. They stopped for a week in Nauvoo, then a week in Branson, and a weekend in Oklahoma City. They are next headed to Tucson. They will spend a few days there and up to St. George for a month or so before up to Chubbuck/Pocatello. Don and Lolane are sure a lot of fun. We went to the Western Heritage Museum here in Oklahoma City. I enjoyed it. Like most museums though, my feet and knees grew tired of the walking around endless hours on hard floors. I will need to go back to truly appreciate much of what was there. We went out to Pops Soda Shop in Arcadia and enjoyed a meal. Don and Lolane particularly enjoyed it. We all did.
Sunday we ventured to church. They thought the ward was very open and friendly. I am pleased the ward was so open and friendly to them. It wasn't quite so much when we got here. But it certainly has improved. Afterward we ran out to the Oklahoma City Temple and walked around the grounds and took some pictures. After serving in the Washington DC Temple for the past 18 months they were quick to notice how tiny the temple is here. That most certainly is true! I assured them it was well used and loved.
We wandered off to the Oklahoma City Memorial. The weather turned out to be beautiful. It could have been a little warmer, but it was sure a nice day. They really enjoyed that as well. It really is a well-done memorial. We returned to our little home to enjoy a full meal and many hours of games. We filled much of our time on Saturday with games as well. We sang some old songs together, chatted about old times, visited about family, and genuinely had fun.
On a sad note, I also received news that my Great Aunt Lillian Jonas Talbot passed away on Friday. She was born in 1930 and lived in Layton, Utah. She was the sister of my Grandpa I knew the least growing up. She was the one who let me borrow my Great Grandma's journals to type them up which are available here on the blog. She was also the one who had my Great Grandma's photo albums and let me borrow them to pick out the photos and scan them. So I came to know her considerably more in the past 10 years. Apparently she had been to the temple on Friday and she came home and sat down in the chair in the living room and was playing with the dog a little. When my cousin came back from a run to Walmart, she thought she was taking a nap. But when she came in, she was gone. How is that for peaceful and quick? I hope I am as fortunate. The funeral will be on Wednesday. I wish I could go but the cost and time from school are too much for the moment. I wish the family all the best.
Amanda will surely post some photos from the weekend on our joint blog. It was an eventful and productive weekend. Now time to start making up what studying I did not get done!

Major Decision by Supreme Court Will Impact Future of Patents
The Supreme Court has made a decision that will have dramatic impact on existing patent law. This week, the Supreme Court issued a decision in KSR v. Teleflex, which dealt with the design of the humble gas pedal, but has far greater consequences. Teleflex is the latest in a series of cases that look to better define the proper limits and roles of patents
The question in KSR v. Teleflex was whether a pedal design patented in 2001 was nothing more than an "obvious" combination of previously existing designs. The trial court ruled it was obvious, and invalidated the patent. An appeals court overruled that decision. The Supreme Court sided with the trial court.
In Justice Anthony Kennedy's unanimous opinion, the court ruled that the appellate patent court had raised the bar too high in assessing "obviousness."
In an article in the Wall Street Journal covering the decision, the WSJ wrote: "Federal law requires that patents only be granted for non-obvious innovations. This is because patents ought to protect inventions that require a discovery, a leap of logic or imagination. An example that Justice Kennedy cites in Teleflex is that of a battery that used an electrode previously thought unsuitable for that purpose. An inventor discovered that the conventional wisdom was wrong, and a new type of battery came into being.
The Teleflex gas pedal, by contrast, combined elements of existing pedals in a way that neither defied the conventional wisdom nor resulted in novel, unexpected benefits. The fact that no one had combined those elements in that particular way was not, the Court ruled, sufficient to conclude that the combination merited a patent.
More broadly, Justice Kennedy wrote that the federal courts had adopted too strict a standard for invalidating patents. This could have broad ramifications. Our patent system is only as good as the bureaucrats who grant the patents and the courts that enforce them. So if a legal standard allows dubious patents to be enforced, then innovation and the economy may suffer."

I have always thought that the term "obviousness" was really subjective. Whether or not an idea is obvious is completely dependent on the intelligence level of the person evaluating it. Thanks for the interesting article.

Pet-owners have been warned never to leave their furry friends unattended in hot, parked cars.
Veterinary surgeon Dr Mark Middleton explains that a parked car can become a death trap for a dog and even a cat.
When the outside temperature is 20 °C, Dr Middleton says the inside of a car can get up to 40 °C in the space of 30 minutes.
This is well over the core body temperature of a dog or cat.
When a dog's blood temperature starts rising, its blood circulation can shut down and cause blood clots.
Canines can, as a result, suffer fits, multiple organ failure and anal bleeding, he explains.
According to Dr Middleton, snub-nosed dogs struggle more with heat distress and can overheat much quicker.
Dogs don't have the sweat glands we have. They can only sweat through their paws and let out heat through their mouth and nose. They don't have the ability to lose heat as quick as humans do.Dr Mark Middleton, Veterinary surgeon - SPCA
Some of the signs that a dog may be overheating:
- excessive panting
- salivating
- weakness
- restlessness
- looking distressed or disorientated
- fits
- diarrhoea
- vomiting
If your dog suffers heat distress, immediately get the dog into a cool, shaded area. Give them drinking water. Wet them down around the head area or create a breeze by using a fan.
Get them to the vet as soon as possible. Do not give them an ice bath as this can cause shock or hypothermia.
The animal welfare organisation, Cape Of Good Hope SPCA says humans need to recognise the sentience of animals.
CEO Mqabuko Moyo Ndukwana says animals are entitled to five freedoms and should be treated with dignity and respect.
We need to understand that do feel pain and do suffer in the same way that humans would suffer if they were left in a vehicle.Mqabuko Moyo Ndukwana, CEO - Cape Of Good Hope SPCA

South Africa's sensitive land reform programme sees the reopening of land claims, bringing new hope for victims of land dispossession and renewed fears for commercial farmers.
The country has struggled to deal with land claims over the past 20 years.
Land Reform and Rural Development Minister Gugile Nkwinti announced on Tuesday morning that a new five-year period to lodge land claims opened on Tuesday and that claimants had already started submitting their claims.
The period will run until June 30 2019. President Jacob Zuma signed the deeply contested Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Bill into law on Monday, opening way for the new tenure of land claims.
Opponents of the new law said the process was likely to push farmers off their land and would threaten food security. There are an estimated 35 000 food producers in South Africa. The initial period to lodge land claims ended in December 1998 and an estimated 80 000 land claims were lodged during that period.
'Heed the cries of people'
Nkwinti told Parliament journalists that 77 622 land claims from the first period had been settled by the end of March this year, resulting in the transfer of 1.6-million hectares of land to beneficiaries, benefiting 371 191 households.
He said R29.2-billion had been approved for restitution processes since 1995 and R24.4-billion spent by the end of March, including slightly more than R7-billion on financial compensation for beneficiaries.
Nkwinti said the decision to reopen the lodging of land claims was taken following requests and submissions by thousands of people who had missed the initial deadline.
"We thought we should heed the cries of people who spoke to us about other people who live with them that did not claim for whatever reasons," he said. Nkwinti acknowledged there was a huge debate about the "inability" of the department to fast track restitution or the settlement of land claims, but said some of the claims that have not been settled were complex and in some cases in the courts.
The department might have to deal with old and new claims simultaneously as a result. "It's not because of lack of money, or processes, some of them are in court, others are embedded claims because of embedded chieftainships."
The government has not set a target for the new claims, but is confident it can work faster this time around because claims will be lodged electronically rather than manually as in the previous process.
Intensive national communication process
"As I indicated in the first window, we used manual and some of them got lost and we would have to go back and redo them," he said. The new legislation has criminalised manual lodging of claims.
Nkwinti would not discuss the budget for the new claims process, saying that budget was not and should not be an issue, except a political issue.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has estimated that the new claims process will cost about R179-billion. When the National Assembly passed the Bill in February, the DA attempted to introduce additional amendments to the Bill but was outvoted by the ANC majority.
The DA amendments included preceding the new land claims process with an intensive national communication process. After this communication and preparation, the window for lodging claims should be opened for six months only, the party proposed.
In addition, those who did not meet the 1998 deadline for land claims should show good cause why they were eligible for consideration during the new window. A deadline of six years should be set for the adjudication process to be completed.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), whose claim to fame includes calls for expropriation of land without compensation, will be further disappointed to learn that there are no plans to expropriate.
"It's not going to be expropriation. There is going to be engagement, discussion, agreement, then the sale and the transaction," said Nkwinti.
The EFF rejected Zuma's signing of the Restitution of Land Rights Amendment Bill into law, saying the state should not pay to restore "stolen" land to its rightful owners.

Secret lives, replete with possibilities. Elsewhere exists as a better place, in a better time, for a better life. The trick is how to get there from here. These stories give the answers. Share in the secret lives of books. Fly to Mars, the first stage, perhaps, in the onward journey to elsewhere. Hear the music of the heavenly spheres and be forever changed, providing the bad guys don't hear it first. Discover Gaia may not be quite what we think she is. Discover the universe is a rather big place. Embrace Utopia for women too, if only …It's called Secret Lives of Books, but I think what it's really about is the secret lives of stories. All five stories within grapple with the story of stories on some level. "The Secret Lives of Books" is literally about the secret story of a particular collection of books, "Kiddofspeed" is about a story that developed around some photos, "Qasida" is about the mysteries of Mars and the plausibility of fantastical stories, "The slut and the universe" (which has a couple of long subtitles which I'll leave for you to discover yourselves) is about the stories of feminism and misogyny. Fitting least into this patter, "The Kairos Moment" is a story about music, muisic itself being a type of story, albeit not necessarily in the narrative sense. There is, of course, the expected feminism in this collection, but I found it mostly manifested through the existence of female characters, apart from in "The slut and the universe".
My favourite story was "Qasida", which I decided would probably be my favourite when I was still halfway through it and had two more stories left to go. It's sort of a surreal story about Mars and magic (for lack of a better term) travel and aliens, except it's not all that surreal. It's told rather sensibly, which I think is part of the appeal.
I highly recommend this collection to all SFF fans. The stories were all equally good and almost equally unusual. I'd tentatively say this is probably in my top four of the Twelve Planets. Which might not sound like much, but you have to remember there's some very stiff competition.
Secret Lives of Books — This was a strange story that didn't go the way it initially seemed it would. The main character is a recently deceased writer, trying desperately to get a living person's attention. And then there's his extensive book collection, which he has always been very attached to. I'd call this soft horror, as we incrementally — creeping — learn more about the books.
Kiddofspeed — Another unusual story, sort of chronicling the adventures of a girl taking photos of Pripyat (near Chernobyl, and based on real events) and sort of talking about the nature of story.
Qasida — Probably my favourite story so far. It's another story of stories, this time about Mars and strange happenings. Visits to Mars, objects from Mars and the
The Kairos Moment — An odd story about the uplifting feeling people experience when listening to good music. And a researcher trying to study the phenomenon. And some strange happenings. I was entertained and quite amused. (And in case it isn't obvious, this story is certainly represented on the gorgeous cover.)
The slut and the universe — I seem to have noted that all the stories in this collection are unusual and this is no exception. It's a post-apocalyptic fairytale about feminism. Despite the post-apocalyptic setting not much seems to have changed and there is discussion (literally) on such feminist topics as the meaning of the word "slut" an why feminism is the root of all evil. It was also a rather entertaining read.

Keys to the Treasure
Three innovative FWP programs help unlock access to millions of acres of priceless public and private hunting lands across Montana.
This story is featured in Montana Outdoors
November–December 2002
Ask most hunters what they consider the biggest challenge to hunting in Montana, and you might hear about the weather, the terrain, or a certain game animal's habits. But the most likely answer will be, "Finding a place to hunt." Whether a hunter is pursuing antelope in eastern sagebrush breaks, upland birds in central wheat fields, or elk in the western mountains, locating a place to hunt in Montana, especially a place where fees aren't required, is becoming increasingly difficult.
Though the overall number of hunters is not growing, competition for existing access is. Today's hunters spend more days afield, yet find fewer gates open. Landowners restrict access for a variety of reasons. Sometimes gates close after a landowner witnesses dangerous or unethical hunter behavior. Some landowners prefer to lease their lands to an outfitter. Others close their property to public hunting entirely, either to maintain exclusive access for themselves and close friends, or to prevent wildlife from being shot.
Nevertheless, hunters in Montana still have some of the best hunting opportunities available anywhere in the western United States. The state has nearly 35 million acres of state and federal land, and approximately 57 million acres owned by 28,000 farmers and ranchers, and hunters can choose from a wide variety of options to secure hunting access. Much of that access is due to several innovative and, in some cases, little-known programs run by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and funded by hunters.
Private land access programs have been around in one form or another since the mid-1970s, funded, in recent years, primarily from nonresident hunters' license fees. Beginning this year, however, all hunters in Montana have begun funding FWP efforts to maintain and improve public hunting access. The money comes from a new mandatory Hunting Access Enhancement Fee ($2 for residents and $10 for nonresidents) required the first time a hunter purchases any type of hunting license during each license year (March 1 to February 28).
The money, along with funds from other license sales, is being used to
run three programs under Montana's Hunting Access Enhancement Program statutes:
Block Management (private land access), Access Montana (public land access),
and Special Access Projects (localized species-specific projects).
Montana FWP remains committed to maintaining and improving public hunting access. For the 2002 hunting season, it has allocated approximately $5 million to fund these three programs.
Such a high level of funding for public hunting access enhancement may not continue for much longer, however. In 1995, FWP was granted only temporary legislative authority to enhance existing hunting access programs and fund them through a new variable-priced outfitter-sponsored nonresident elk and deer license. In 1999, the temporary authority, called a sunset provision, was extended, but only to March 1, 2006. That means the Montana legislature has only two sessions (2003 or 2005) to either extend or remove the current sunset provision. Otherwise, FWP will automatically lose the authority and funding sources for its current hunting access enhancement programs.
Sunset provisions are attached to legislation so that new or experimental programs can operate for a trial period of time before being evaluated to determine if they are worth continuing. So that hunters and private landowners can judge for themselves whether these three hunter access enhancement programs are worthwhile, here is a brief summary of how each one has progressed over the past six years since 1995, when the enhancement programs were authorized.
Block Management
The best-known and most fully developed of the hunting access enhancement programs, Block Management has been in existence formally as a program since 1985. But it actually began informally back in the mid-1970s, when FWP staff began to recognize that public hunting access to private land was diminishing. Biologists were concerned that, without access, hunters could no longer effectively control big game populations. So the department began making it easier for private landowners to allow public hunting on their property by establishing walk-in areas, posting signs delineating public and private land boundaries, and publishing maps.
In the early years, the agency could only focus on small areas involving a few acres. But thanks to expanded funding and authority, FWP now negotiates access agreements with landowners throughout the state, often for up to five years at a time. For the 2001 hunting season, approximately 1,100 landowners enrolled nearly 8.6 million acres in the Block Management Program, and more than 180,000 hunters logged more than 356,000 hunter days of recreation on Block Management Areas (BMAs).
Block Management is a cooperative effort among FWP, private landowners, and public land management agencies to help landowners manage public hunting activities and provide free public hunting access to private and isolated public lands. The program's name refers to its goal of blocking together large areas of land under one system of access requirements, management objectives, and hunter-use rules. Cooperative agreements are negotiated among the landowner, FWP, and appropriate public land management agencies (such as the federal Bureau of Land Management) to determine how public hunting access will be managed on lands under the landowner's control.
Landowners are provided with various benefits for enrolling land in the program, including compensation ($12,000 per year maximum), a complimentary resident AAA Sportsman's License (or, in the case of a nonresident landowner, a complimentary nonresident Combination License or compensation, but not both), limited liability protection, livestock loss reimbursement, and various hunter management tools. These include signs, maps, permission books, and, in some cases, the assistance of seasonal FWP staff to help manage the BMA.
FWP does not actually lease the lands enrolled in Block Management but rather contracts with individual landowners to determine how they will manage public hunting activities on lands under their control. The payments and other benefits help compensate landowners for any inconvenience that may result from allowing public hunting on private land. For instance, some landowners have to do additional noxious weed spraying due to more hunter traffic from weed-infested areas. Roads rutted from hunters' vehicles may require more maintenance, and increased public hunter activity may require a landowner to install additional fencing, gates, and cattleguards. Moreover, increased public hunting often means a landowner spends more time answering phone calls, helping retrieve downed game, and otherwise dealing with hunters.
Each year, by August 15, FWP publishes a list for each of the agency's
seven administrative regions that provides information about lands enrolled
for the current hunting season. Included in that information is each BMA's
location and size, the opportunities offered, and the method for obtaining
Not all BMAs are the same, and not all FWP regions administer the program the same way. Type I BMAs, for example, either allow hunters to sign themselves in or have no permission requirement. Type II BMAs are areas where someone other than the hunter administers permission. These are often areas that limit hunter numbers, require advance reservations, or have other hunter management restrictions.
Some FWP regions manage hunter information requests and reservations by automated phone systems. Other regions funnel all hunter permission requests through FWP staff specifically hired to buffer landowners from being inundated by too many hunter contacts. And some regions arrange self-help stations at regional headquarters where hunters can select maps and information for the areas where they might like to hunt. Thus, the Block Management Program has been adapted to meet the diverse needs of different hunters, landowners, and FWP administrations across Montana.
So far, it appears that people like what they're seeing and experiencing from Block Management. In 1997, FWP surveyed landowners and hunters to learn what they thought of the program (see sidebar at right). Since 1999, hunters have been asked to return postage-paid comment cards, which act as a sort of hunter's report card for each BMA hunt. Hunters are asked to answer several questions on the comment cards: Did you see the game being hunted? Did you bag any game (and, if so, what was it)? And would you rate your BMA experience as satisfactory or unsatisfactory?
For the 2001 hunting season, more than 12,500 of these cards were returned. Of the total number of people who returned cards, 76 percent indicated they had seen the game being hunted, 24 percent indicated they had bagged some type of game, and 81 percent rated their BMA experience as satisfactory.
Though most hunters like Block Management, that doesn't mean they all
do. Some contend that BMAs are too crowded, lack the game animals they seek,
or are poorly administered. Examples of comments from hunters dissatisfied
with Block Management include: "Too many hunters!" "All
the bucks shot out!" "Too many road closures." "You
should publish one book with all the BMAs in the state in it." "All
BMAs should have the same rules." "The map didn't show
pasture fences or access roads—I got lost."
And some hunters simply don't like how the program has changed, in their minds, the traditional relationship between hunters and landowners. As one hunter noted, "I feel this program is going to lead to fee hunting of all private land."
Landowners, too, have mixed reactions to the program. On one hand, only 5 percent annually choose to not renew their Block Management contracts, and usually more landowners want to enroll in the program than funding can accommodate. On the other hand, some landowners don't like the program, such as those surveyed in 1997 who wrote comments such as: "Too many hunters!" "Hunters only want to shoot bucks, and I need does harvested." "I wanted deer hunters and only got bird hunters." "Every hunter wants to hunt on opening day." "Hunters seem to think that, just because I enrolled in Block Management, hunting on my land is a right, not a privilege." "My neighbor's Block Management hunters keep crossing over onto my land, which isn't in Block Management."
Is Block Management successful? Despite some criticism, it appears so, judging
from hunter and landowner majority opinion. But whether it will continue
in the future—and if so, what
it will look like 10 years from now—depends on hunters, landowners, and other citizens working together with FWP to develop programs that meet the multiple needs of hunters and landowners in a rapidly changing Montana landscape.
Access Montana
Though Block Management is the most widely known, two other important FWP programs also help increase hunter access to hunting land. One, formally introduced as a program in 2000, is Access Montana, which operates under the same statutes and funding sources as Block Management. The program was spawned by a law that required, beginning with the 2000 hunting season, all hunters who hunted on private land to obtain landowner permission beforehand. Before that time, only big game hunters were required to obtain landowner permission, unless the land was properly posted to signify that the landowner wanted all hunters to ask first.
The new law put more responsibility on the hunter's shoulders to ensure that he or she knew whether land was public or private. In response, FWP developed Access Montana to help reduce land access conflicts and help maintain and improve access to the more than 35 million acres of public land in Montana.
FWP staff members work cooperatively with private landowners, the federal Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to establish access corridors across private land to reach isolated public lands. In addition, the agency has hired seasonal staff to help mark public land boundaries that historically have been hard to find. Several regional Access Montana projects focus on public lands where existing public access does not exist or is threatened by changes in adjacent private land ownership.
The Access Montana Program has also produced several free publications to help hunters get access to public hunting land (see sidebar at right). And because disputes sometimes arise between hunters and private landowners over what land is public and what isn't, the program also has produced a form that hunters and landowners can fill out to document public land access conflicts so that FWP can help resolve them.
Special Access Projects
Block Management and Access Montana have done much to enhance hunter access to private and public lands and improve relations between hunters and landowners. However, some additional access issues have arisen in recent years that those two programs weren't equipped to handle. Fortunately, the state Hunting Access Enhancement Program statutes also authorize FWP to initiate additional programs or efforts to improve hunter access. In 2001, the agency began developing the Special Access Projects Program, which focuses on regional species-specific hunting access needs. For example, some projects help local groups of hunters, landowners, and FWP staff find innovative ways to manage elk herds and public elk hunting on private land. In these cases, a hunt coordinator has been hired to help hunters gain access to elk during the hunting season. Other examples include regional projects focused on improving access for pheasant, waterfowl, and spring turkey hunters.
Though small in number, these and other special access projects fill a unique
and important niche in FWP's efforts to improve hunting access and
resolve issues between hunters and private landowners.
There is little question that hunters will find it increasingly difficult to find free hunting access in the future. Some landowners need to attract hunting fee revenue to compensate for low grain and stock prices. Others have grown less tolerant of irresponsible hunting behavior. And more hunters want to hunt exclusive fee hunting areas.
Obviously, it's beyond the ability of FWP to reverse these and other powerful social and economic trends. But the agency's hands aren't completely tied. It can continue to develop and manage diverse hunting access enhancement programs that benefit both the hunter and the landowner, trying to keep the gates swinging both ways. And by doing so, FWP can continue to work cooperatively with hunters and landowners to sustain Montana's hunting heritage and traditions.

Playtech Online Casino Software
Playtech started out over 15 years ago with the idea of bringing the best games and incredible vibe from real-life Casinos to the online sphere. Back in the 1990s, real-life Casinos were glamorous, vibrant places to be, whilst online Casinos at the time consisted of very basic technology. However, the technology progressed from its infancy in the 1990s to become an established norm in the world of gaming and gambling. Playtech is one of a handful of software providers to have emerged from the first wave of the online casino industry. In fact, Playtech played a role in the setting up of the industry along with other notable brands at the time like Microgaming, Cryptologic, NetEnt and even RTG. Nowadays Playtech continues to innovate, bringing new and exciting concepts to the online Casino on a regular basis.
Playtech has over 500 games in its portfolio, many of which are some of the most popular online Casino games right now. In addition to an impressive selection of Table games, there are also hundreds of incredible Slots, including Progressive Jackpot Slots. Playtech has formed many partnerships with well-known brands in order to create some incredible games, including with Marvel, MGM, HBO and NBC Universal. This means that players get to enjoy the delights of such fabulous Slots as Panther Moon, White King, The Sopranos, Pink Panther, Jekyll and Hyde and many, many more. Playtech has proven itself adept at adapting and moving with the punches. The company's ability to produce new content at an alarming and impressive rate was proven when in a scene straight out of the movies, it parted ways with Marvel® and joined forces with Warner Bros to produce online video slot games based on DC comics content. The results thus far has seen the company unveil and unleash a wave of exciting new games based on everyone's favourite superheroes. Games thus far released include the 1960s Batman Classic TV Series as well as feature films like Man of Steel, Green Lantern, Superman and Superman II. All have been released as online video slot games with more set to follow.
Live Dealer Gaming
Today live dealer casino gaming can practically be found at most online casino vendors, but things weren't always this way. It took some inventive minds to get it all started and Playtech was actually one of the first companies to produce live dealer casino games way back in 2003, although certain technological benefits were not yet available. Today the company provides live dealer games to a string of online casinos around the world.
Additional Offerings
In addition to online casino games, Playtech also offers sports betting tools and software to selected providers and binary trading solutions. Whether it's games or financial, it's all a gamble.
- Every single piece of Playtech software is tested by a third-party regulator to make sure that it is completely fair and accurate.
- Playtech's Blackjack is one of the most-played Casino games of all time.
- Playtech is committed to providing its players with games of a premium quality; unfortunately for players, this means that it doesn't release new games as frequently as many of the other top software developers.

Hurrah, I Have Made The Side Tables Of My Dreams
Okay, first of all, let's pause and take the obligatory moment to make fun of the fact that my dreams contain things like side tables. Yes, I aspire to owning attractive side tables, so sue me. I aspire to other, more noble things as well, obviously—like owning an attractive coffee table, for instance, OKAY I'M JUST KIDDING—but I have, for the longest time, been fairly consumed with finding the perfect side tables. Some people may say that this is what is wrong with America today. I say that what is wrong with America today is that I couldn't find those damn side tables anywhere, despite the picture of them I had in my head.
And so I decided to make them.
Yes, I decided to make my own furniture! Like a pioneer! Look at me, out here on the plain, wielding a can of spray paint and an Exacto knife! What, you thought I meant I made them from scratch? That's adorable, but I'm afraid I'm not that hardcore. I didn't make them make them. I just....decorated them a bit.
But enough about that; let's look at some before and afters. Here is the world's most basic dresser, the IKEA RAST, which is $34.99 at everyone's favorite flat-pack furniture store.
It's pretty plain, right? Can you imagine having that as your side table? You'd fall asleep every time you walked into your living ro—wait, sorry, I fell asleep already just thinking about it. But what if I told you that you could take that RAST—I love how everything at IKEA is in all caps, it's like they're SHOUTING ABOUT FURNITURE ALL THE TIME—and transform it into.......
.........the side table of your dreams!
(This is the side table of my dreams. I apologize if this is not the side table of your dreams. We have different dreams, I guess. Hopefully, this means you don't also have the one about all your teeth falling out, because that one's a bummer.)
How did I do it? Well, it was both really easy and a complete pain in the ass. The pain in the ass part was mostly because I kept going away for the weekend or having people come and stay, which meant the entire project dragged on and on and on, and also I severely underestimated the amount of spray primer and spray paint I would need and ran out of both, like, six separate times. Which meant six separate trips to Home Depot for more. Which meant six separate times I cursed and swore and questioned why I couldn't just buy my furniture like a normal person instead of having to make it like an idiot. Also, I changed my mind on the stencil twice, and it took me three different tries to find a gold paint that showed up properly and didn't smudge.
But despite all that, I finally finished the project and now I have a couple of side tables that I love to pieces, and which are absolutely what I envisioned in my head. I should note that I was hugely inspired by—and am hugely indebted to—this post about making a DIY Dorothy Draper chest, but there are a ton of other great RAST hacks out there too if you're looking for something a little different. (This Apartment Therapy post has a slew of them.) If you are interested in making something akin to mine, however, I am here to walk you through the (relatively few) steps. It isn't hard, you just have to stop going away for the weekend so you can actually get the damn thing done in less than two months. Also buy twelve cans of spray paint. Yeah, you heard me.
You need these things on the right. But times twelve.
First of all, once you have your RASTS in hand (a RAST in the hand is worth two in the...yeah, that joke died before I'd even started it) you will want to put together the frames (but not the drawers just yet—it makes it easier to stencil later if they're still unassembled) and take them out back to shoot them. Wait, I mean prime them. Easy mistake. I used a spray primer, because I am lazy and like to fancy myself a teenage hoodlum, but it would probably be more cost-effective to use normal primer (there are a lot of parts). Then again, spray primer dries nice and quickly—and also you get to feel like a teenage hoodlum—so it's really whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Once the primer is dry, it's time to spray paint everything—again, you could use normal paint, but you may be sensing a theme here—which will take approximately seven squajillion years, on account of all the parts, and also on account of the fact that you will probably want to do two coats. I used a Rustoleum spray paint in a shade called "Colonial Red," and for weeks afterwards, I looked like I had just murdered someone in cold blood. It was kind of awesome in that people cowered in fear when they saw me walking through the grocery store, but also not so awesome in that I basically looked like I had splatters of someone else's blood on my forearms and shins for most of September. Still, a couple of people let me go in front of them in line at Costco, so I can't say that period of my life didn't have its bonuses.
Welcome to your new back yard for the next few days. Hope you like millions of pieces of red painted wood.
While we waited a day or so for everything to dry thoroughly, Sean made me a stencil, based purely on a totally made-up shape that I traced in the air with my finger. "I want it to go like this," I said, waving my hand around, "and then like this, and then like this, and then like this." And then that genius took my ridiculous air doodles, opened up Illustrator, and created this:
And then duplicated it so I could see what it would look like side by side:
We printed two copies (just in case!) on our regular home printer, on thick card stock we had left over from something else:
Then we took turns cutting out the black parts super carefully with an Exacto knife:
Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate!
After that, I taped the stencil onto the first drawer front....
.......and started filling it in with gold. Let me save you some time right now and tell you that I tried two different gold craft paints (Craftsmart, which was way too thin, and Liquitex, which was lovely and thick but had a nasty habit of running and smudging) before discovering that the absolute best tool for this job is the Krylon 18 Karat Gold Leafing pen. I got mine at Michaels, where they are fairly pricey at $8.99 each, but I used one of the ubiquitous 40% off coupons, which brought it down to a little over $5. Also, I did all six drawer fronts with only one pen, and it still seems to be going strong, so it's actually a lot cheaper (and easier, and less messy) than buying paint and paintbrushes.
You will pry this from my cold, dead hands! I will gold leaf everything! Everything in the world!
Once I'd gone around the entire thing with the gold leafing pen (then once again for good measure), I pulled off the stencil and used two strips of tape to get a clean line at the part that hadn't been cut out (you can't cut out the entire stencil, obviously, or the whole thing will fall apart.)
After that, it was just a case of assembling the drawers, screwing in the ringpulls I'd ordered online at Lee Valley Tools (I used the middle size in burnished bronze), and taking a few comedy pictures while Sean wrestled the drawers into the frame:
You are hereby excused from going to the gym for the rest of the week.
One quick photo of the side tables together......
.......and then they were separated and relegated to different sides of the couch for the rest of their lives.
Whew! And that is the story of how I created the side tables of my dreams for a grand total of around $185, averaging out around $92 each. True, it wasn't a huge crazy bargain like the $10 bar cart from last week, but I'm pretty sure I would have spent more buying something I only kind of liked from an actual store. Next up, I have some grand plans to make some ottomans! Am I joking? I am not. Yeah, I have no idea what is happening to me either.

The World Bank and China has over 30 years of partnership and this partnership has evolved over time. In the early years, the World Bank shared its global knowledge with China on infrastructure development and institutional capacity building, which contributed to shaping China's modernization and development. ... Exibir mais + Today, many Chinese cities are making significant investment in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and the scale is among the largest in all countries. The World Bank is supporting over 20 urban transport projects in China. This study uses Wuhan and Urumqi as two case studies to evaluate the gender impacts of their existing urban transport ITS, by adopting methods of survey and focus group discussion. Under the support of the World Bank, Urumqi and Wuhan have completed its first Bank-financed ITS construction in 2007 and 2010 respectively. They are now proposing to expand or upgrade ITS in their new Bank-financed projects. The findings suggest that men and women have unique travel patterns and transport demands, which result in special requirements of ITS; the findings also suggest that ITS can play a significant role in filling the gender gap in urban transport. In addition to improving infrastructure and intelligent transport facilities, the pressing issue is to build gender awareness for policy makers and practitioners and mainstream gender in transport and ITS. The study aims at strengthening capacity for gender-informed operations and policy making in East Asia and Pacific (EAP) countries. Besides this report, the team has also developed a technical guideline to better incorporate gender considerations in ITS planning, design, implementation and operation. Exibir menos -

Non-Conviction Based (NCB) asset forfeiture is a powerful tool for recovering the proceeds of corruption, particularly in cases where the proceeds have been transferred abroad. ... Exibir mais + With an increased focus on the issue, there is a corresponding need for a practical tool that jurisdictions contemplating NCB forfeiture legislation can use. The guide is organized into three major parts: Part A first provides an overview of the problem of stolen assets and the problem of recovering the assets once they are transferred abroad. Second, it describes how the international community has taken steps to respond to the problem through United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and the Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative. UNCAC introduced a new framework to facilitate the tracing, freezing, seizing, forfeiture, and return of assets stolen through corrupt practices and hidden in foreign jurisdictions. The StAR Initiative developed an action plan to support the domestication and implementation of asset recovery provisions under UNCAC, to facilitate countries' efforts to recover stolen assets that have been hidden in foreign jurisdictions, and ultimately, to help deter such flows and eliminate safe havens for hiding corruption proceeds. Third and finally, Part A introduces NCB asset forfeiture as one of the critical tools to combat corruption, describing the situations when it is useful, how it differs from criminal forfeiture, its usefulness in civil and common law jurisdictions, and the support it has gained internationally. Part B contains the 36 key concepts. The concepts have been grouped together by topic area, including prime imperatives, definitions of assets and offenses subject to NCB asset forfeiture, measures for investigation and preservation of assets, procedural and evidentiary concepts, determining parties and ensuring proper notice, judgment proceedings, organizational considerations and asset management, and international cooperation and asset recovery. The concepts are illustrated through examples from cases and excerpts from different jurisdictions' NCB asset forfeiture legislation. Part C contains a number of special contributions written by individual practitioners. The contributions focus on the general practice of NCB asset forfeiture and international cooperation in specific jurisdictions, namely Colombia, Guernsey, Ireland, Kuwait, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. In addition, some contributions illustrate a selection of NCB asset forfeiture practices, such as asset management, delegating certain roles to the executive branch, and pursuing forfeiture based on illicit enrichment.

What the heck is good hair?* Is it the kind of hair that is naturally straight? Is it the kind of hair that has a natural curl? Good hair is a phrase that probably pre-dates most of my readers, but it is a phrase that continues to echo in the black community. If something is good it actually implies the opposite of that state is bad. So do we conclude hair with a natural kink is bad? One would think this would be a conversation we were no longer having, but sadly that is not the case. Over the years chemicals and electric devises have enabled us to have any kind of hair we want. We can have naturals, kinky and even nappy if that is your preference. So can we stop using this antiquated term "good hair", and simply accept the beauty of diversity.

We can all stand to learn a lot from previous generations. With years of experience behind them, they have much more insight and advice on love, the secret to a long life, the secret to happiness, and other topics. But oftentimes the age gap can make it feel like seniors lived in a completely different world than ourselves. Just imagine how they must feel about the seniors from when they were kids.
To find out what seniors of today think of the generations before them, one Redditor asked the online community, "What were the elderly like when you were kids?" The thread has older people comparing their generation to their grandparents, and the answers will intrigue people of all generations.
1. Previous generations didn't seem to be as open with sharing personal details.
2. They were a dichotomy of modern and tradition.
3. They could be surprisingly strong.
4. Their accents seemed much thicker.
5. Older female generations never wore pants.
6. Grandparents didn't seem as involved raising kids.
7. They couldn't easily go on vacation.
8. All of them would keep an eye on you.
9. They were extremely self-reliant.
10. They were more restricted by their bodies.
11. They thought hats were an essential part of an outfit.
12. They did less physical outdoor actives.
13. Families took care of each other.
14. They looked older.
15. They were more sedentary, homebodies.
