A new partnership between European importer New York Wines and Glasgow-based wine and spirits specialists Inverarity Morton is primed to introduce a new range of wines from New York State to the UK market.
Several producers will feature, spanning three of New York's six AVA regions: the Finger Lakes, Hudson River Valley and Long Island.
According to the partnership, the wines are being brought to the UK on the back of "growing demand" for wines from the state, particularly the Finger Lakes, which has emerged in recent years as one of the premiere Riesling destinations in the US.
The Inverarity Morton distributed wines include Riesling specialist Red Newt Cellars, Anthony Road, Thirsty Owl Wine Company and Brotherhood – America's oldest winery.
Grape varieties include Riesling and Cabernet Franc, with a small number of unique hybrids such as Diamond and Traminette.
This marks the first time these wines will be distributed to the UK market with a focus on the on-trade and independents.
Fox Run Winery owner, Scott Osborn, said: "The timing is right. We have had such a strong response from international shows and our Finger Lakes appellation is unique. Everyone knows the New York name, and the excitement is there to learn more about our cool climate estate wines."
On June 7, a Riesling and hybrids masterclass supported by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation and hosted by Red Newt Cellars winemaker Kelby Russell and Stuart Pigott will be held in central London.
There will also be an open pour tasting of select New York state wines.

Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.
"Empowering and inspiring, Hidden Figures is a courageous story supported by a remarkable cast," said Heartland Film Director of Film Programming & Marketing Greg Sorvig. "An insightful window to the civil rights and space race eras, the film is an impactful portrayal of the feeling of powerlessness and overcoming the odds through friendship and determination. On behalf of Heartland Film, I'm honored to announce that Hidden Figures is a Truly Moving Picture Award winner."
Based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly, Hidden Figures is directed by Theodore Melfi and written by Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi with performances by Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, Glen Powell, Kimberly Quinn and Kevin Costner.
20th Century Fox will release Truly Moving Picture Award winner Hidden Figures in select theaters on December 25, 2016, with a wide release of January 6, 2017.


text: Dentistry Oral & Pediatric Services in Jackson For patients in need of specialized dental procedures, St. John's Health can provide high quality treatment from specially trained hospital dentists. Dental treatment at the hospital is not like what you find at the typical dentist's office. Most patients are referred to a hospital dentist by a medical professional for complex dental procedures like surgery or pediatric care. There are a few situations which may put you in need of a hospital dentist. In many cases, patients who do not have access to regular dental care will seek out the services of a hospital dentist. You may also see one if you need dental services while staying in the hospital. Dentistry & Your Overall Health Another reason that dentistry is offered at some hospitals is that dental issues can sometimes be linked to medical problems. Several oral diseases can be indicators of a serious medical problem, and it can be beneficial to have both treated at a hospital. Links between oral and medical health: Periodontitis – A serious gum disease caused by bacterial cultivation in the mouth. Bacteria growing on teeth can infect the rest of your body through the gums, which can cause of a wide array of medical issues. Doctors may recommend having gum disease treated at the hospital if it poses a serious risk to your overall health. Diabetes – Medical experts are still not entirely sure what causes diabetes, but research has shown a link between gum disease and this chronic condition. High blood sugar increases your risk of gum disease. As diabetes hinders your body's ability to create insulin, gum disease and diabetes often go hand in hand. Heart Disease – A large number of heart disease patients are also diagnosed with gum disease. The exact reason why is still unknown, but current medical findings suggest that the inflammation of the gums can cause inflammation in blood vessels. Cardiologists often refer patients to a hospital doctor for peritonitis treatment. There are many other conditions that have some link to oral health issues. Do not be surprised if your doctor recommends dental care as part of your treatment. Specialized Dental Services A hospital dentists receives in-depth training so that they can handle a wide array of oral health concerns. For these reason, you may want to visit a hospital dentist for orthodontics, restorative procedures, oral surgery, and dental care for children and adolescents with oral abnormalities. At St. John's, we make sure all our patients are connected with medical specialists that can best meet their needs.

Mode Localization in a Nearly Cyclic Symmetric System
Chen, Ya-Fang
MetadataShow full item record
Cyclic symmetric systems have been widely used in industry, such as turbines, propellers, and compressors. An ideal, tuned, cyclic symmetric system consists of multiple substructures with same geometry and material properties. In a real system, however, there are always slight differences among the substructures (known as mistuning) as a result of imperfections from manufacturing, wear, and damage. The presence of the mistuning could cause mode shapes to localize on a few substructures leading to a phenomenon called ``mode localization.'' As the system spins at high speed, force excitations from the spin together with the mode localization will expedite fatigue failure and jeopardize the safety of the system. Due to the mistuning, the system is not perfectly cyclic symmetric and cannot be predicted by a single substructure. To reduce computational costs, researchers have dedicated for years to developing reduced-order models to accurately predict mode localization. Nevertheless, fundamental understanding, such as when and where mode localization will occur, remains open. Many researchers believe that curve veering of eigenvalue loci is the main contributor of mode localization, but mode localization is also found in a frequency range without any curve veering. Moreover, most studies for mode localization only considered rotors as independent components, so fixed boundary condition was typically applied to the inner rim of the rotors. In a real system, a rotor is always connected with other mechanical components. Recently, researchers started to analyzed turbinemachinery in greater detail by modeling multi-stage rotors or a rotor connected to a shaft. Nevertheless, effects of flexible bearings and housing on mode localization remain unknown. In a broader context, implications of the boundary effects and how boundary conditions affect mode localization are still open. The objective of this thesis is to develop a rigorous mathematical formulation to deduce concrete conditions under which mode localization will occur. The mathematical formulation also provides an effective means to significantly reduce computational costs in predicting mode localization. With the understanding of the conditions for mode localization to occur, the effects of flexible bearings and housing are investigated numerically and interpreted with deductive reasonings. When slight mistuning is introduced into a tuned, cyclic symmetric system, occurrence of mode localization requires the localized mode shapes deviate dramatically from tuned mode shapes. Enlightened by perturbation theory and Fourier analysis, this behavior will occur only when the following two conditions are met: (1) there is a group of tuned modes that have nearly identical natural frequencies, and (2) this group of modes contains a wide range of wave numbers. Mode localization (i.e. localized modes) will be formed as linear combinations of this group of tuned modes. Without these two conditions, researchers traditionally would predict localized modes using Rayleigh-Ritz methods by including many tuned modes in a frequency range as trial vectors. To improve computational efficiency, a visual method is developed in this thesis to pinpoint those tuned modes that will contribute significantly to the linear combinations. With the visual method, the tuned modes are screened carefully so that mode localization can be predicted without iterations and redundant tuned modes. Numerical examples verify that the computational cost for mode localization can be reduced 36%. In this thesis, the effects of flexible bearings and housing are studied through use of finite element analyses. Three models are studied: (1) a reference rotor system in the form of bladed disk with a fixed inner rim, (2) a rotor-bearing system with the fixed boundary condition at the inner rim replaced by flexible bearings, and (3) a rotor-bearing-housing system that connects the reference rotor with a stationary housing via the bearings. All the systems are studied with a tuned version and a mistuned version. Mode localization is compared among the three mistuned systems. The simulated results show that not only the number of localized modes changes but also the natural frequencies and mode shapes of existing localized modes. Consequently, forced response of the localized modes will also change. When bearings and housing are present, vibration of the housing may excite localized modes of the rotor to resonance. These simulation results can all be deduced theoretically from the two mode localization conditions and existing knowledge on vibration of cyclic symmetric structures. This thesis not only identifies the criteria governing occurrence of mode localization, but also provides an effective method to significantly reduce the computational costs for predicting mode localization. This thesis provides physical insights and qualitative predictions regarding how bearings and housing may affect mode localization.The results discussed in this thesis are general and are valid for any cyclic symmetric system.

NEW LOW-PRICE POPS - Book Firm Tests 35c Bell Records
New York, Nov.22.-Cloaked with a maximum of secrecy, a new line of pop records selling for 35 cents a disk is being quietly tested in a few stores in and around New York. This new label, called Bell Records, is owned by Pocket Books, Inc., and is the book publisher's first venture as a record producer. The firm has, however, considerable experience in record distribution, serving as distributor for Golden Records, the kidisk line produced by Simon & Schuster. The new Bell label is a seven inch, semi-microgroove 78 r.p.m. disk that plays as the normal 10-inch record. The disks are produced by injection molding by Bestway Products in Rahway, N.J., a pioneer in the field of injection molding. Bestway also molds Golden Records for Simon & Schuster. The release being tested consists of 10 different records, all current or recent pop hits, such as "Jambalaya", "Wish You Were Here", "I Went To Your Wedding" and "Walking My Baby Back Home". The masters for nine of the 10 records were leased from Prom Records, a local 10-inch new line the day after it went on sale in a Brooklyn McCrory variety store. Thus far this is the only store in New York City known to be selling the records. It was later established that the records have been on sale in a few stores outside of Ney York for the past few weeks. No promotion of any kind has been used by the stores.
Maybe 3 speeds
In confirming the label, a spokesman for the label emphasized that at the present time it is still in the experimental stage. The tests will be continued, according to him, until about the end of this year. At that time it will be decided whether there is room for a 35-cent pop line. Should the decision be affirmative, Bell would be the lowest-priced pop label on the market. If it is decided to go into wholesale distribution, the line will probably be released on all three speeds (78, 45 and 331/3 r.p.m.), each priced at 35 cents. The results of the test are inconclusive to date, according to the exec, with sales ranging from fair to good. The best sales to date have resulted in the McCrory store previously mentioned. It is known that this store's initial stock of the 10 records amounted to 160 units. These were almost completely sold out during the first day. The store immediately placed a heavy re-order.
The introduction of this new Bell label gives rise to certain speculation. The ability to produce and sell profitably a nationally-distributed line of pop disks to sell at the low 35-cent price will undoubtedly be carefully watched by all segments of the trade. The use of the seven-inch, semi-microgroove disk reactivates speculation in this area. Several months ago Modern and its subsidiary, RPM, began shipping deejays copies of this type disk, altho the latter were not injection molded. At that time there were recurring rumors in the trade that others would follow suit. Philips, the Dutch combine which recently entered the international record business, is pushing this type of platter. Another area of conjecture is that of injection molding. Tho the major labels are known to have experimented in this field only Golden Records has used this production method to any degree.

Pocket Books Takes on Bell As Subsidiary
NEW YORK, March 28.-The advent of another low-priced record label on the market became a fact this week with the disclosure that Bell Records, Inc., had been taken on as subsidiary of Pocket Books, Inc., part of the Marshall Field enterprises. Bell Records actually has been on the market for a number of months on a test basis as previously reported in The Billboard. Market tests of this 35-cent label have been successful enough to warrant the decision to go ahead on a full scale.
Tho all plans have not been completed, the label will have its first official release in September. It will record hit pop tunes, standards and new tunes. A spokesman of the firm disclosed that altho hit tunes will be waxed, a definite effort will be made to make these interpretations original rather than carbon copies of the hit version. Distribution will be thru Pocket Books' 7" independent jobbers thruout the country on a voluntary basis. Royalty payments to publishers will be 1.25 cents a side, the normal mechanicals collected from the low-priced labels. Personnel of the new label has not yet been announced.
In the last few months, negotiations have been carried on with major record companies by Pocket Books to test revolutionary - to - the - record - business idea whereby the same version of a hit would be available on both the major label originator at the regular price, and the Bell label at 35 cents. This would be similar to what has become a regular practice in the book publishing business. Major labels turned thumbs down on the idea so Pocket Books decided to strike out on its own.
Pocket Books is a sister organization of Simon & Schuster, producers of Golden Records.

Pocket Books to Ring in 35c Bell Label Sept. 1
NEW YORK, May 16. - Pocket Books, Inc., affiliated book publishing outfit of Simon & Schuster, has set September 1 as the release date of its line of 35-cent pop disks on the Bell label. As previously reported in The Billboard, the Bell operation was tested in 12 cities from September to December last year. Platters will be seven-inch, 78 r.p.m., with 45 r.p.m. platters due to be issued later. Pressings will be injection molded, and disks will be packaged in three color sleeves of standard design. The diskery has already named Arthur Shimkin as artists repertoire director, with Larry Clinton and Jimmy Carroll as assistants. Shimkin is currently a.&r. topper for Simon & Schuster's Golden line of kidisks. Bell will concentrate on current hits and standard material, but won't "copy" or "imitate" the sound of the hit platters. The 35-cent price will include excise tax.
Hunts Names
The diskery is dickering with some name and semi-name artists to wax the first sessions. Plans for cutting standards, according to Shimkin, center around the publisher coming up with an idea on how the oldie can be recorded in order to spark interest in the song. The diskery looks upon itself as similar to Pocket Books, which waits for trade book publishers to "prove" a new book. After it has been proved, then Pocket Books will issue the "re-prints".
Bell disks will be available thru all the regular 150,000 Pocket Books outlets plus the regular retail record stores. Since all records will be fully returnable, the label will not issue the trade term "release date", but consider the issuance of new records as "shipping dates".
Ready for distribution along with the disks will be two wire racks, a floor model and a counter model, each with 20 pockets. In addition, the label will make available at cost a newly designed three-speed demonstrator with a separate speaker. Equipment was designed and will be manufactured by the Dynavox Corporation.

Palitz Joins Bell Records As A&R Exec
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. - Morty Palitz, former a.&r. chief for Decca Records, this week was set in a similar capacity for the new low-priced Bell pop label which will be marketed this fall by Pocket Books.
Neither Pocket Books execs nor Palitz were available at press time for comment on the deal, but it was admitted that Palitz would be cutting sessions for the new diskery, which is affiliated with the Simon & Schuster book and kidisk firm. It is believed that Palitz has a sales participation deal.
Bell label disks will retail for 35 cents and feature current pop hits and standards. The label has been making short-term or one-session deals with names and semi-names and has already waxed some standard material early release.

35-Cent Pop 78's Make Bow Sept. 1 - Pocket Books to Issue 8 7-inch Singles, With Haymes, Clinton, Forrest, Carroll
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. - Bell Records, the 35-cent pop label being issued by Pocket Books, Inc., will bow on September 1 with eight singles on 78-r.p.m., seven-inch disks. Among the artists featured on the first release are Bob Haymes, Snooky Lanson, Helen Forrest, Larry Clinton, Cab Calloway, Anne Lloyd and Jimmy Carroll.
Four disks will couple two current hits back-to-back, while the other four disks will be standards. Initial pressing order on the injection-moulded records is set as 100,000 copies per disk. A "token" number of 45 r.p.m. disks will also be pressed for certain outlets.
Distribution has already been set up thru major department stores; Woolworth, Neisner, Kress, Kresge, Murphy chain stores; drug outlets like Whelan, Walgreen and Katz; supermarket chains from coast to coast, and newsstands and regular retail stores.
Distributors include 750 independent newspaper and magazine wholesalers, Pocket Books field reps and regular disk distributors like Coral in New York, Schwartz Bros. in Washington, Brason in Chicago, and Hartstone in Boston.
First Release
Plans call for four additional disks each month on a semi-monthly basis. Half of the release will be standards and half will cover the big hits on regular-priced labels. Pop tunes on the first release include "With These Hands", "No Other Love", "You, You, You", "Crying In The Chapel", "Hey, Joe", "Vaya Con Dios", "Gambler's Guitar", and "Moulin Rouge". Standards include "Minnie The Moocher", "Deep Purple", "My Reverie" and "I'll Get By".
Part of the merchandising program includes the issuance of four different kinds of racks; a floor model, two regular counter models and a circular counter rack. Also being made available at cost is a three-speed demonstrator phonograph especially manufactured for Pocket Books by Dynavox. Dealers are being offered a package deal of a rack, the demonstrator, and a basic stock of records for $50. Racks will be equipped with colored display cards listing the tunes. Changes for the card holder will be shipped with each release.
Other artists already lined up by the label are Tony Russo, Jan Arden, Frances Langford, Judy Johnson, Bob Crosby, Jane Harvey, Maddy Russell and Si Milano. Morty Palitz is acting as recording director for the diskery under a.&.r. chief Arthur Shimkin. Palitz, like most of the artists, is on a non-exclusive basis with the Bell label. Musical directors are Jimmy Carroll and Larry Clinton.
The diskery is also planning to release several albums containing three of the seven-inch disks and retailing for $1.00.

Major Record Firms Verge On Mass Market Selling
NEW YORK, Oct. 24, - Several major dickers are very close to a plunge into the mass distribution field encompassing such outlets as chains, supermarkets, news wholesalers, etc. Forcing the diskeries to edge up on the mass distributions market is the sales action being created by Bell Records, subsidiary of Pocket Books, Inc., which at this point seems chiefly concerned with the problem of adequately gearing its production to meet the demand for its 35-cent disks.
Traditionally, the major diskeries have been opposed to the idea of a 35-cent disk, owing to the small profit margin entailed. However, should the Bell operation develop to the point where it will sell 500,000 copies on average releases-as many estimate will be the case-then it is felt that the majors, for competitive reasons, must pick up the challenge.
Altho diskery execs are loathe to admit it, it is known that all companies, in addition to Victor, are watching the Bell operation very closely-for it is meaningful in many facets. The Bell operation, of course, envisages tapping myriad outlets other than the usual 10,000 retail stores, and reaching classes of consumers who heretofore have not been exposed to disks. The operation is meaningful from an artist and repertoire viewpoint in addition to the unique merchandising aspects-for Bell operates on the theory that the life of a tune and the life of an artist is tremendously greater than would seem to be the case on the usual pop labels. The operation is also very meaningful to the publishing and songwriting fraternities, inasmuch as a greatly expanded consumer disk market would mean proportionally greater royalties-not only from the sale of disks, but also from the sale of sheet music.
Bell, which debuted with its initial releases in September, has already drawn several interesting conclusions relative to the mass distribution field. Chains, for instance, are claimed as very strong sales outlets. Supermarkets are next, and are considerably stronger than drugstores. Also suburban areas prove stronger on sales than metropolitan centers, and independent news wholesalers are better sales outlets than expected. Finally, says Bell, the business must be operated on a 100 per cent return basis. Big Bills
The biggest of the Bell sellers to date have been "Vaya Con Dios" backed with "P.S. I Love You"; "Crying in the Chapel!" backed with "You, You, You"; "Oh" backed with "Walking Behind You" and "Dragnet" backed with "My Love, My Love". As against these pops, standards are 40 per cent lower in sales figures. In a report, Bell illustrates its production problem. A Neisner store in Buffalo received 300 disks on September 24 and sold 163 by the next afternoon. The buyer re-ordered 1,000 by phone. The 1,000 had been slated for three new accounts. These failed to receive records. Bell released eight disks in mid-September. Between September 15 and 30, claims Bell, the company pressed and shipped 800,000 disks, twice the volume originally planned.

Bell Steps Up Sked On 35-Cent Releases
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. - The experiences gained by Bell Records in the few months since the Pocket Books, Inc., the 35-cent pop disk label, entered the market have caused some basic shifts in Bell release and production policy.
Key changes are (1) stepped up release schedule, (2) the addition of new and name talent to the roster and (3) recording and pressing new tunes b efore they reach hit status on major labels.
On the latter point, Bell has already released "Changing Partners", "Stranger in Paradise", "Heart of My Heart", and "Oh, My Papa" and is rushing the first lyric version of "Off Shore" and "The Creep". The low-priced diskery has alos cut two tunes from the "Easy to Love" film, which have received very limited attention on other labels. The firm considers this experimental, keeping the release of unproven material down to a minimum and riding with the established hits.
More Releases
It is now certain, says Bell's topper, Arthur Shimkin, that four releases a month is insufficient to supply the demand and keep the consumer choice wide enough. The diskery experimented with cutting down on releases but stepping up production on each number. It is now going back to stepped-up releases as production capacity increases.
New additions to the Bell roster are Lillian Clark, Charlie de Forest, The Magic Strings, a vocal group called the Fellers, and Artie Sanford, who also records as Artie Malvin. More talent acquisitions are expected to be announced shortly.
Current production runs of 100,000 on a number are not sufficient according to Bell, and re-runs of 25,000 and 30,000 have not filled demand either.
Twice as Fast
The diskery has also learned that the top three disks move twice as fast as do the next three, and that standard waxings sell about one-third as well as do the latest tunes.
One of the major chain outlets Neissner Bros,. has opened its entire chain for the Bell line after experimenting with 10 locations. The Neissner plan calls for spotting the Bell racks in locations other than those assigned to disks in the chain's retail outlets. The thinking is based on the experiences gained in the books field.

Bell Records Picks Onorati
New York, Dec. 26. - Bell Records, 35-cent disk line issued by Pocket Books, Inc., has named Henry Onorati as national sales manager. Until recently, Onorati has been operating his own advertising and promotion service. He will take his post on January 4. The deal was set for the Bell label by Jim Jacobson, vice-president of Pocket Books. Onorati will concentrate on sales of the line in normal record markets, working with Pocket Books' division managers who handle al PB sales thru chains and syndicates, independent news wholesalers and direct accounts. Onorati formerly handled advertising and promotion for RCA Victor records and Crosley radio and television.

Bell Label Eyes Shaw Unit, Dorsey Deals
NEW YORK, Jan. 9. - In a major move to acquire top name artists for its 35-cent, mass-merchandised Bell label, Pocket Books, Inc., is completing negotiations to acquire the Artie Shaw combo and the Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey ork and has made some strong pitches to pick up reprint rights on all disks cut by Cadence Records - particularly the Julius LaRosa sides.
The Shaw and Dorsey deals should be finalized in the next few days, while the Cadence acquisition is still in the early talking stages. Cadence's hesitation to sign up is reportedly based on the label's belief that it owes allegiance to its distributors and dealers.
Meanwhile Shaw has also signed with Norman Granz' Clef label, which will issue a series of albums by the Shaw combo. Bell is only interested in getting Shaw for covering pop hits and doing standards on single platters. In all cases the Bell deal is known to call for non-exclusive contracts which permit the artists to work for other labels at the same time, so long as material isn't duplicated.
It is generally believed, also, that Shaw and the Dorseys are being signed as independent manufacturers rather than artists. This would, in effect, mean that Shaw and the Dorseys band would cut their own sides and lease or sell them to Bell in some manner. The sides would, in all probability, return to the artists after a specified length of time. While the Bell label disks issued thus far haven't been going with complete unknowns, the signing of Shaw and Dorsey and the possibility of snaring LaRosa would undoubtedly heighten the consumer appeal of the label's disks of current pop hits and standards. The trade is also particularly cognizant of the non-exclusive character of the pacts being signed by Bell - certainly a departure from the disk industry's long-time adherence to the policy of exclusive artist contracts.

Shaw Ankles Bell Records
NEW YORK, March 13. - Artie Shaw, having barely alighted, this week took off again as he ankled Bell Records. Shaw joined the Bell label with his revived Gramercy Five only last December and has had two records released by the 35-cent label to date.
Shaw left as a result of an impasse with Arthur Shimkin, head of the diskery, over a number of sides Shaw had cut for Bell last December after he and Shimkin had agreed on contract terms. In December, in the face of the possible recording ban, Shaw cut 14 sides with his combo. Shaw's contract with the label called for 20 sides, or 10 records to be released a year, but no agreement could be reached as to when or if Bell should release all 14 sides already cut.
Shaw, charging breach of contract, took the dispute to the American Federation of Musicians. The AFM arbitrated the hassle. Shaw became the owner of the 10 sides still unreleased, and Bell Records retained the rights to continue to sell the four sides already out, for two years. After that, these sides too, will revert to Shaw. Shaw is now free to make single records for another label. Norman Granz's Clef label had previously signed the Artie Shaw Five for LP's and will release the first of these in the spring.

Bell to Boost Price, Enter EP, LP Field
NEW YORK, July 18. - Bell Records, the mass-merchandised low-price disk line distributed by Pocket Books, Inc., has set several major changes in its pricing and distribution policies. The diskery's August shipments of disks for September release will be priced at 39 cents instead of 35 cents as heretofore.
In addition, Bell is ready to move into the packaged record field with 45 and LP sets and is introducing a new 10-inch label on which only new song material will be tested.
The switch to a 39-cent price comes after the label tested the higher price in several markets for a few months with no change in sales. The higher price is necessary, says Bell execs, to cover higher cost of 45 r.p.m. records and the increasing ratio of 45 to 78 r.p.m. disks now being sold. Bell now finds that 30 per cent of its volume is being done on 45 r.p.m. platters.
The 39-cent series will also call for completely redesigned sleeves - a different sleeve for the 45 and 78 disks, since both are seven-inch platters. Bell will also premiere a "personality" series in a folder-type package which includes artist photos.
EP's & LP's
The EP and LP lines will be priced at $1.47 for either a two-pocket EP package or a 10-inch LP package. Both packages will feature either name talent or eight current hit tunes.
The new Bell label, New-Disk, will be pressed on 10-inch 78 r.p.m. records rather than the seven-inch size and is for distribution to disk jockeys and juke box operator only. The disk will not ordinarily cover pop hits, but concentrate on new material.
The first platter in the series is "When I Needed You Most" backed with "Hey, Nita!". The tunes are performed by Artie Malvin and the Four Bells backed by Sy Oliver ork. Should this or succeeding New-Disk releases show promise via deejay and operator exposure, they will be pressed for general distribution thru regular disk distributors and dealers at the 89-cent price.

NEW YORK, March 19. - Jazztone, new mail-order disk label launched recently by disk club moguls David and Sam Josefowitz, in the near future will make its jazz recordings available on the retail market.

Bell Asks Royalty Cut On Out-Dated Pop Titles
NEW YORK, April 9. - Bell Records, the 39-cent pop disk subsidiary of Pocket Books, Inc., sent out a unique pitch this week to all publishers asking for a royalty relief on left-over, out-dated pop titles.
The Bell proposal, which in effect would attempt to predicate royalty payments on a percentage of the retail price, conceivably could come into conflict with existing copyrights statutes. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, record royalties are established at a statutory rate of 2 cents, tho modified at the election of publishers.
Actually, the bargain diskery, which sells on a 100 per cent return basis, is looking to unload "over-produced" one and two-year-old pop disks at a retail price of 10 cents, and is asking publishers to trim royalties proportionally.
Pay Double
According to a letter sent out by Bell's Arthur Shimkin, the diskery currently, at its regular rate of 1 1/2 cents per side, is paying the equivalent of 3 7/8 per cent of the retail selling price, which is double the percentage paid for full price records. Bell proposes "to continue to pay double that percentage any other record company pays."
Without this relief, the diskery implies that it may forced to scrap the merchandise , in which case writers and publishers would receive nothing.
According to Shimkin, initial reaction to the letter has been "mixed". Some of the publishers queried by The Billboard, were wondering what attitude the Songwriters' Protective Association would take. Shimkin said he had an appointment to discuss the matter SPA president Charlie Tobias this week.
Clients Polled
Harry Fox, who serves as agent and trustee for a large group of publishers, when dealing with such unusual situations pertaining to licensing, always makes a practice of polling his clients before taking a definite stand.
Bell, meanwhile, is going ahead full steam with its new-release schedule, and this week is shipping a barch of four new disks including titles as "Crazy Otto", "Davy Crockett", "It May Sound Silly", "Rock Love", "Dance With Me Henry", "Pledging My Love", "Cherry Pink", "Door Of Dreams".
According to Shimkin, Bell and Pocket Books are a distinctly separate operation from Simon and Schuster's Little Golden childrens records, altho Shimkin oversees both the Bell and Golden operations. The recent discontinuation of Golden's special 35-cent line has nothing to do with Bell.

Bell Issues 8 New Disks
NEW YORK, Sept. 3. - Bell Records, Pocket Books' 39-cent pop record line, this week will issue eight new disks, its first release in several months. According to Bell's top exec, Arthur Shimkin, the new line will appear for the first time in the Bell operation with different illustrated jackets for each tune title, replacing the standard uniform sleeve. Shimkin maintains that the label will stick to covering established hits, but definitely will not imitate other versions. Name talent will be featured wherever possible, including such orksters as Sy Oliver, Larry Clinton and Jimmy Carroll.

Bell Re-Designs Jacket for Display
NEW YORK, Oct. 22. - Bell Records, the 39-cent pop line distributed by Pocket Books, Inc., has inaugurated a new style of jacket to encourage display. Replacing the standard jacket with punched center is a set of individual covers, each title with a special illustration. Each package, as before, contains one seven-inch record, either 45 or 78 r.p.m., which plays the same length of time as a 10-inch 78 disk.

Clinton Melody Trails, Essex Prof. Manager
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. - Larry Clinton, former band leader amd composer of "Dipsy Doodle", "My Reverie", "Study In Brown" and other tunes, has become general professional manager of Essex Music and Melody Trails, Inc.

Anointing & covering me in His Word. Calling my son to Him at 3 years old, and while the devil wanted me to accept that that was for us to endure pain & suffering & living with broken hearts, God has revealed His FULL GLORY in our lives. That what He spoke & Promised to me when my son was born is what will be! No more dealing & settling & searching for any answers outside of God. Not a lawyer, doctor, a teacher or preacher. JESUS, Is The Only Way. (God is not a man that He should lie) -Numbers 23:19-20
We are so grateful! My words can't express the GREATNESS of it all. 🙌🏽 #JustJESUS🤗😍
It's been the longest journey of our lives. A 10-year journey. It began the day my son was born. What a blessing he was & I just knew everything would be perfect at his arrival. We've been searching for our promised land, our place of rest, all this time. We've now FOUND it in JESUS!!!!
And it's not just the Comfort, the Mercy, the Grace that God has provided us that we wouldn't have made it without during this difficult journey, but NOW to the Miracles, Blessings, Abundance, Overflow, Healing, Restoration, Renewing, Promises & Elevation in God!!!!
Amen. Thank you Jesus!!!
The Lord gave the word; great was the company of those that published it. -Psalm 68:11
Isaiah 43:19
See I Am doing a NEW thing!!!!! Now it SPRINGS up; (While it's Spring☀)Do you not perceive it?
The last time I saw my son I got arrested for simply being present at His basketball game. And tomorrow, while our Season is here in every way & manner, having full authority & commandment over every thing that has set itself up & been set up against us… In JESUS name, for the Glory of God alone, as God is my only Witness & Jesus my only Representation, after 6 years of being thrown into & thrown around in a system without choice, both my son (King Caleb 👦🏾 and I) WE WILL BE WALKING AWAY TOGETHER, HAND IN HAND WITH THE VICTORY OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!
And it cannot be reversed!!!!! -Numbers 23:20🙏🏽👏🏾🙌🏽
"By His Stripes We Are Healed" 👸🏽👦🏾

This patient was a 26y/o pulled over by Police when he complained of chest pain that radiated to left arm. EMS was called. The initial 12 lead is here:
|Smith comment:
There is sinus tachycardia. There is a high voltage QRS, particularly high voltage S-waves in V2 and V3. There is marked ST elevation in V3-V5, but there are also very marked J-waves in those leads and the T-waves are not large relative to the QRS.
This is all highly suspicious for early repolarization, especially in a 26 year old.
One can use the LAD occlusion vs. early repolarization formula: I have magnified V1-V6 for better measurement:
|STE at 60 ms after the J-point in lead V3 (STE60V3) = 4 mm, QTc = 386 ms, and R-wave amplitude in V4 (RAV4) = 16 mm, we get 22.342
A value of 22.342 strongly supports early repolarization (about 95% sensitive for LAD occlusion in all comers, but has a better negative predictive value in a 26 year old).
With this, I would do serial ECGs and an emergent echo to look for a wall motion abnormality. I would not activate the cath lab, as LAD occlusion is very unlikely.
Of course it is better to be safe than to miss an LAD occlusion, but a an echocardiogram done with contrast and interpreted by an expert will not miss an LAD occlusion and would spare the cath team a night time activation.
Crews became concerned about ACS and administered ASA, nitro, and serial ECG's showed no change in ECG.
The patient was taken to the cath lab upon arrival at hospital.

Simply pop this no-bake cookies and cream cheesecake into the fridge and soon you'll be ready to get pleasure from it! It is a methodology that I developed that helps create a really mild, tender crumb to the cake. Pumpkin Cheese cake is just delicious spiced with ginger and cinnamon and the dark chocolate in the cake makes it decadent. Brush the melted butter and sprinkle with one-third of the nuts and brown sugar. Place the lid of the honey cake on high of the cream filling and dirt with powdered sugar. I am sure you hate being on a food plan or food plan the place I've to surrender luxuries like cake.
If the cake doesn't feel like it's falling out easily, lay a slightly damp kitchen towel over the pan and tap again. The recipe is truly luscious This explicit cake recipe is like d by all and also simple to prepare with easily accessible elements. Hmm..this may very well be one more reason why my French Almond Cake turned out like kueh as i minimize down quite a lot of sugar when I made it. Take away them from the oven when you possibly can insert a type into the top of the cake and it comes out dry. Yeah, you possibly can prepare dinner them a casserole or a quinoa salad or no bake power bites, but a cake.
Purely optionally available, but chocolate cake at all times appears so…plain, so add some sprinkles when you like. We love that she pulled her hair again into a easy chignon too—it appears simple reigns supreme on the pink carpet this year. Check the cake by inserting a skewer into the centre – it ought to slide easily by means of the apples in the middle and come out clean. Try opening oven door slightly for 2-5 minutes for the warmth to escape then shut the oven door without taking out the cake and look ahead to the temperature to be fairly cool earlier than taking the cake out into the cold air. This is when a gluten-free dairy-free chocolate layer cake is more than just dessert.
If, for some purpose it doesn't wish to thicken up (this happened to me once I made this cake – think it might have been the coconut cream I used?) place the caramel into the fridge till it has a pleasant solid layer over it (about an hour or two – sorry did not hold observe of the time!), take it our and provides it a mixture with a handheld mixer to combine all of the caramel and it'll thicken proper up. Hope this all works for you – sorry it's not perfect 🙂 good luck and let me know if you prefer it!
Better because it remains fluffy and more intense in taste whereas the well-known Sweet Surrender cake turns into firm (I suspect attributable to lots of shortening). We're excited to bake this excellent Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe that got here out deliciously good and moist even without any frosting. Hello HHB, that is my 1st time at your blog and is already drawn to this wonderful and colourful cake. Made this as my birthday cake, simply swapping the soy milk for almond milk, and it was absolutely amazing! The beautiful Emily Ratajkowski played up her natural beauty with a simple makeup look; broze eyes with black definition, a peachy-nude lip and one of the best contours we've seen. For those who're in search of a classic afternoon tea cake recipe, look no further than this delicious carrot cake.

Just how much Can one Be prepared to Invest within South america Come july 1st?
Have you been among the 500, 000 individuals visiting South america come july 1st for that Globe Mug fun as well as wish to strategy your financial allowance?
South america isn't an inexpensive nation. Just a couple in years past, the actual "Real" was previously inexpensive when compared with Traditional western foreign currencies, therefore vacationers accustomed to seem like millionaires whenever going to the actual "Big Giant". It's not the situation any longer. Therefore, whenever you request the buying price of some thing, you're going to get a costly 1, such as 1 you'd enter every other large Western capitals such as Birmingham or even London.
Simply to provide you with a good example, a fundamental burger within the Ough. Utes expenses close to $5. 50; Within South america it is a incredible $8. 99. Therefore, even though you are planning to consume from McDonald's, expect you'll spend a little more compared to you'd in your house nation. A large Macintosh combination expenses $10 within South america.
It's not simple to find lodging within South america, particularly within the higher period whenever costs increase. Actually to obtain a fundamental space inside a favela for any 7 days might have a 3 number cost.
Nevertheless, the costs rely significantly upon exactly where within South america you're. I discovered São Paulo, Rio as well as Salvador to become probably the most costly metropolitan areas to date. No matter where within South america you are heading, you can may well avoid some cash. Here are a few ideas that will help a person reduce the price of your own holiday.
Visit casual as well as nearby eateries. Treat pubs tend to be known as "lanchonetes" as well as presently there you will get such things as sandwiches, salads, pastries as well as "salgadinhos" that are savoury treats. You have to attempt the actual "vitaminas", that are scrumptious organic fresh fruit shakes. Be aware that brought in beverages such as rum or even Vodka tend to be pretty costly within South america. If you wish to cut costs, choose Brazil's nationwide spirits "cachaça", that is the actual miracle component for that well-known "caipirinha". Ale can also be a great choice and you will have it almost everywhere.
Prior to think about purchasing something, request the actual product sales helper for that cost checklist "lista de preços". It's quite common which vacationers spend 1 cost as well as local people spend the reduced 1. It's To. Nited kingdom. to express that you're not really a visitor, even though you seem like 1.
Expect you'll bargain a great deal. Like a customer, you have to get accustomed to settling constantly. Brazilians get it done methodically. It would appear that suppliers begin through environment the costs truly higher as well as wait around that you should discount to enable them to decrease all of them just a little (a lot).
Spend along with money instead of charge card. There's a possibility of obtaining a low cost, something in between 5 as well as 10 %.

four Factors to make use of Rental Coach Providers
There are lots of factors to make use of rental coach providers. Be it for any company, a business, or perhaps a college area journey, it may be beneficial in order to lease the rental coach to ensure that it's not necessary to be worried about transport. Everybody can trip on the thoroughly clean coach and become come to the actual location using a expert car owner.
It may be very costly to possess everybody set up their very own journey. For those who have a lot of your own workers coming to 1 area, you might have in order to withstand leasing vehicles or even usage compensation. Each one could be costly, particularly if you have to set up journey with regard to 20 or even more workers. If you have the rental coach, the expense decrease significantly since you are merely spending money on 1 coach. You will be charged exactly the same whether or not you've anyone or even 30 individuals about the coach.
Lengthy outings could be dull. Whenever you make the most of rental coach providers, most people are provided an appropriate chair within an atmosphere trained coach. Presently there can also be toned display Televisions that you should appreciate a few additional amusement. You might view the film, the actual playback in the final online game, or perhaps a motivational movie to be able to encourage the actual group just before coming to the meeting.

That which you placed on all of them is actually your decision. This is actually the just type of journey where you stand provided a wide variety of possibilities to supply amusement in order to individuals you're organizing journey with regard to.

Should you give a rental coach for everybody, nobody needs to be worried about generating on their own. This particular helps to ensure that everybody occurs simultaneously — as well as calm due to not really suffering visitors.
Probably the most complex facets of preparing any type of journey from city may be the transport. Whenever you make the most of rental coach providers, you merely phone as well as routine the actual coach to become in a specific area. After this you inform everybody exactly where they have to fulfill. What this means is it is possible in order to fill everybody on to the actual coach as well as make sure these people appear towards the location simultaneously. It does not obtain any kind of less complicated compared to this particular.
It does not matter why you ought to set up journey with regard to several individuals or even where you stand heading. Reserving the rental coach could be extremely beneficial with regard to a number of factors.

The boys watched the cavalcade until it faded away in the swells of the plain. At each recurring departure of their friends, in spite of all bravado to the contrary, a pall of loneliness crept into the hearts of the waifs. Theirs had been a cheerless boyhood; shifted about from pillar to post, with poverty their one sure companion, they had tasted of the wormwood in advance of their years. Toys such as other lads played with for an hour and cast aside were unknown in their lives, and only the poor substitute for hoop, horse, or gun had been theirs. In the struggle for existence, human affection was almost denied them. A happy home they had never known, and the one memory of their childhood worthy of remembrance was the love of a mother, which arose like a lily in the mire of their lives, shedding its fragrance more fully as its loss was realized.
Joel was the more sensitive of the brothers. Forrest had fully discussed the coming winter with the older lad, and as an incentive to watchfulness had openly expressed doubt of the ability of the boys to battle with the elements. The conversation was depressing, and on the departure of the men, the boys resumed the discussion of the matter at issue.
"Mr. Quince thinks we can't hold these cattle," said Joel, watching the receding horsemen. "He's afraid a storm will catch us several miles out and cut us off from reaching the corral. Well, it will be my fault if it does."
Dell made a boastful remark, but the older boy only intensified his gaze at the fading cavalcade. A vision of his youthful sufferings flashed through his mind, and a mist, closely akin to tears, dimmed his eyes. He had learned the lesson that poverty teaches, unaware that the storm which rocks also roots the oak, but unable to make the comparison or draw the inference between surrounding nature and himself. For an instant the horsemen dipped from view, changing the scene, and a picture rose up, a vision of the future, of independence, of a day when he would take his place as a man among men. The past was beyond his control, its bridges burned, but the future was worth battling for; and as if encouraged by invisible helpers, the boy turned his face to the valley of the Beaver.
"We'll hold these cattle or starve," said he, unconsciously answering his gray-haired sponsor, fading from sight over the last divide. "Hold them. I can hold them alone."
"There's no danger of starving," commented Dell, following his brother into the tent. "We have provisions for a year."
"Then we'll hold the herd or freeze," answered Joel, almost hissing the words--words which became a slogan afterward.
The cattle drifted back to their chosen range. The late addition mixed and mingled with the others, now attached to the valley, with its abundance of grass and water. Nothing was said about the first four horses, from which the boys understood that they were, at least for the present, left in their charge. All told, sixteen horses, fully half of which were fit for saddle, were at the service of the ranch, ample in number in proportion to the cattle secured.
It was only the middle of August. An accident, and a little over two months' time, had changed the character of the Beaver valley. With no work pressing, the brothers rode the range, circling farther to the west and south, until any country liable to catch a winter drift became familiar to sight. Northward ho! the slogan of every drover had ceased, and the active trail of a month before had been deserted. The new ranch had no neighbors, the nearest habitation was on the railroad to the south, and the utter loneliness of the plain was only overcome by active work. To those who love them, cattle and horses are good company, and in their daily rides the lads became so familiar with the herd that in the absence of brands they could have readily identified every animal by flesh marks alone. Under almost constant contact with the boys, the cattle became extremely gentle, while the calves even grew so indifferent that they reluctantly arose from their beds to avoid a passing horseman.
The cutting, curing, and garnering home the field of corn was a welcome task. It augmented the forage supply, assuring sustenance to the saddle horses, an important feature in withstanding the coming winter siege. An ideal fall favored the ranch, the dry weather curing the buffalo grass on the divides, until it was the equal of hay, thus assuring the cattle of ample grazing until spring. The usual squaw winter passed in a swirl of snow, a single angry day, to be followed by a month of splendid Indian summer. Its coming warned the lads; the order for corn was placed; once a week the cattle were brought in and corralled, and the ranch was made snug against the wintry months.
The middle of November was as early as the railroad would agree to deliver the corn. It would take three days to go and come, and an equal number of round trips would be required to freight the grain from the railroad to the ranch. The corn had been shelled and sacked at elevator points, eastward in the State, and in encouraging emigration the railroad was glad to supply the grain at cost and freightage.
The hauling fell to Joel. He had placed the order, making a deposit, and identification was necessary with the agent. On the very first trip to Grinnell, a mere station on the plain, a surprise awaited the earnest boy. As if he were a citizen of the hamlet, and in his usual quiet way, Paul Priest greeted Joel on his arrival. The old foreman had secretly left a horse with the railroad agent at Buffalo, where the trail crossed, had kept in touch with the delivery of corn at stations westward, and had timed his affairs so as to meet and pay a final visit to his protégées.
"A battle is sometimes lost by a very slight oversight or accident," said the man to the boy. "The ammunition may get damaged, slippery ground might prevent the placing of a battery at an opportune moment, or the casting of a horse's shoe might delay a courier with an important order. I feel an interest in your little ranch, and when I know that everything is done that can be done to fortify against the coming winter, I'll go home feeling better. There is such a thing as killing the spirit of a soldier, and if I were to let you boys try and fail, it would affect your courage to face the future. That's the reason I've dropped off to take a last look at your lines of intrenchment. We've got to hold those cattle."
"Mr. Quince thinks we won't, but let the winter come as it may, we're going to hold the herd," simply said the boy.
There was a resolution, an earnestness, in the words of the lad that pleased the man. "Your Mr. Quince has seen some cold winters on the range," said the latter, "and that's the reason he fears the worst. But come as it will, if we do all in our power, put up the best fight in us, and fail, then we are blameless. But with my experience, if I let you fail, when you might have won, then I have done you an injury."
That was the platform on which men and boys stood, the outline on which their mutual venture must stand or fall, and admitted of no shirking on the part of any one. The most minute detail, down to a change of clean saddle blankets, for winter work, must be fully understood. The death of a horse in which reliance rested, at an unfortunate moment, might mean the loss of the herd, and a clean, warm blanket on a cold day was the merciful forethought of a man for his beast. No damp, frosty, or frozen blanket must be used on the Wells ranch.
On the return trip, an early start was made. A night camp was necessary, at the halfway point, the dread of which was robbed of its terrors by the presence of a veteran of the open. Before leaving the depot, Priest unearthed a number of bundles, "little things that might come in handy," among which was a sack of salt and two empty oak barrels. The latter provoked an inquiry from Joel, and an explanation was forced at the moment.
"Did you notice a big steer that came in with the last cattle, and which was overlooked in branding?" inquired Priest, meeting the boy's query with a question.
"A mottled beef, branded 7L?"
"That's the steer. Why do you reckon we overlooked branding him?"
"Dell and I thought it was an oversight."
"When you see what I'm going to do with that salt and these barrels, then you'll see that it was no neglect. That steer has undergone several Northern winters, has reached his prime, and the governor's cellar won't have any better corn beef this winter than the Wells ranch. Seven or eight hundred pounds of pickled beef is an important item in the winter intrenchments. In fact, it's an asset to any cow camp. There are so many little things that may come in handy."
The second morning out from the station, Priest bore off on a course that would land him well above the grove on the Beaver. He had never been over the range, and not wishing to waste a day with a loaded wagon, he angled away for the sand hills which formed the divide, sloping away to the branches of the main creek. Noon found him on the south fork; cattle were encountered near the juncture, and as he approached the grove, a horseman rode out as if to dispute the passage of an intruder. The old foreman noticed the boyish figure and delayed the meeting, reining in to critically examine cattle which he had branded some three months before. With diligent intent, the greeting was kept pending, the wayfarer riding away on a tangent and veering back on his general course, until Dell's suspicion was aroused. The return of Priest was so unexpected that the boy's eyes filled with tears, and the two rode along until the grove was reached, when they dismounted.
"If I had known that you were coming," said Dell, "I could have made coffee here. It was so lonesome at the ranch that I was spending the day among the cattle."
"A cowman expects to miss his dinner occasionally," admitted Priest; "that's why they all look so long and hungry. Where does that 7L steer range?"
"The big mottled fellow?--Why, down near the corral," replied the boy, repeating and answering the question.
"I want to look him over," simply said the old foreman.
The two remounted and continued down the valley. The noon hour had brought the herd in for its daily water, and no animal was overlooked on the homeward ride. The summer gloss had passed and the hairy, shaggy, winter coats of the cattle almost hid the brands, while three to six months' rest on a perfect range was reflected in the splendid condition of the general herd.
"That's one feature of the winter intrenchments that needn't worry us," said Priest; "the cattle have the tallow to withstand any ordinary winter."
"And the horses are all rolling fat," added Dell. "They range below the ranch; and there isn't a cripple or sore back among them. There's the mottled steer."
They were nearing the last contingent of cattle. Priest gave the finished animal a single glance, and smiled. "Outsiders say," said he, "that it's a maxim among us Texans never to eat your own beef. The adage is worth transplanting. We'll beef him. The lines of intrenchment are encouraging."
The latter remarks were not fully understood by Dell, but on the arrival of the wagon that evening, and a short confidence between the brothers, the horizon cleared. Aside from the salt and barrels, there were sheepskin-lined coats and mittens, boots of heavy felting, flannels over and under, as if the boys were being outfitted for a polar expedition. "It may all come in handy," said a fatherly voice, "and a soldier out on sentinel duty ought to be made comfortable. In holding cattle this winter, it's part of the intrenchments."
A cyclone cellar served as a storeroom for the sacked corn. Joel was away by early sun-up, on the second trip to the station, while those left behind busied themselves in strengthening the commissary. The barrels were made sweet and clean with scalding water, knives were ground, and a crude platform erected for cooling out meat. Dell, on the tip-toe of expectancy, danced attendance, wondering how this quiet man would accomplish his ends, and unable to wholly restrain his curiosity.
"Watch me closely," was the usual reply. "You will probably marry young, and every head of a family, on a ranch, ought to know how to cure corn beef. Give me a week of frosty nights, and the lesson is yours. Watch me closely."
The climax of the day was felling the beef. Near the middle of the afternoon, the two rode out, cut off a small contingent of cattle, including the animal wanted, and quietly drifted them down to the desired location. Dell's curiosity had given way to alertness, and when the old foreman shook out a rope, the boy instinctively knew that a moment of action was at hand. Without in the least alarming the other cattle, the cast was made, the loop opened in mid-air, settled around the horns, cut fast by a jerk of the rope, and the contest between man and animal began. It was over in a moment. The shade of a willow was the chosen spot, and as the cattle were freed, the steer turned, the horseman taking one side of the tree and the beef the other, wrapping several turns of the rope in circling on contrary courses. The instant the big fellow quieted, on its coming to a level, a pistol flashed, and the beef fell in his tracks. That was the programme--to make the kill in the shade of the willow. And it was so easily done.
"That's about all we can do on horseback," said the gray-haired Texan, dismounting. "You may bring the knives."
Every step in the lesson was of interest to Dell. Before dark the beef was cut into suitable pieces and spread on the platform to drain and cool. During the frosty night following, all trace of animal heat passed away, and before sunrise the meat was salted into barrels. Thereafter, or until it was drained of every animal impurity, the beef was spread on the platform nightly, the brine boiled and skimmed, until a perfect pickle was secured. It was a matter of a week's concern, adding to the commissary two barrels of prime corned beef, an item of no small value in the line of sustenance.
The roping of the beef had not been overlooked. "I can't see what made the loop open for you yesterday," said Dell the next morning; "it won't open for me."
Priest took the rope from the boy. "What the tail means to a kite, or the feather to an arrow," said he, running out an oval noose, "the same principle applies to open the loop of a rope. The oval must have a heavy side, which you get by letting the Hondo run almost halfway round the loop, or double on one side. Then when you make your cast, the light side will follow the heavy, and your loop will open. In other words, what the feather is to the arrow, the light side is to the heavy, and if you throw with force, the loop must open."
It seemed so easy. Like a healthy boy, Dell had an ambition to be a fearless rider and crack roper. During the week which followed, in the saddle or at leisure, the boy never tired of practicing with a rope, while the patient man called attention to several wrist movements which lent assistance in forming a perfect loop. The slightest success was repeated to perfection; unceasing devotion to a task masters it, and before the visit ended, the perfect oval poised in the air and the rope seemingly obeyed the hand of Dell Wells.
"It's all right to master these little details of the cattle business," said Priest to Dell, "but don't play them as lead cards. Keep them up your sleeve, as a private accomplishment, for your own personal use. These fancy riders and ropers are usually Sunday men. When I make up an outfit for the trail, I never insist on any special attainments. Just so he's good natured, and no danger of a rainy night dampening the twinkle in his eye, that's the boy for me. Then if he can think a little, act quick, clear, and to the point, I wouldn't care if he couldn't rope a cow in a month."
In considering the lines of resistance, the possibility of annoyance from wolves was not overlooked. There was an abundance of suet in the beef, several vials of strychnine had been provided, and a full gallon of poisoned tallow was prepared in event of its needs. While Joel was away after the last load of corn, several dozen wooden holders were prepared, two-inch auger holes being sunk to the depth of five or six inches, the length of a wolf's tongue, and the troughs charred and smoked of every trace of human scent.
That the boys might fully understand the many details, the final instructions were delayed until Joel's return. "Always bear in mind that a wolf is a wary beast," admonished Priest, "and match your cunning against his. Make no mistake, take no chances, for you're dealing with a crafty enemy. About the troughs on the ground, surrounding the bait, every trace of human scent must be avoided. For that reason, you must handle the holder with a spear or hay fork, and if you have occasion to dismount, to refill a trough, carry a board to alight on, remembering to lower and take it up by rope, untouched even by a gloved hand. The scent of a horse arouses no suspicion; in fact, it is an advantage, as it allays distrust."
In loading a bait, an object lesson was given, using unpoisoned suet. "After throwing off all suspicion," continued Priest, illustrating the process, "the next thing is to avoid an overdose. An overdose acts as an emetic, and makes a wise wolf. For that reason, you must pack the tallow in the auger hole, filling from a half to two thirds full. Force Mr. Wolf to lick it out, administer the poison slowly, and you are sure of his scalp. You will notice I have bored the hole in solid wood, to prevent gnawing, and you must pack the suet firmly, to prevent spilling, as a crafty wolf will roll a trough over and over to dislodge the bait. Keep your holders out in the open, exposed to the elements, scald the loading tools before using, and you have the upper hand of any wolves that may molest your cattle."
The trail foreman spent a pleasant two weeks at the Wells ranch. After the corn was in store, the trio rode the range and reviewed every possible line of defense. Since the winter could not be foreseen, the only safe course was to anticipate the worst, and barring the burning of the range from unseen sources, the new ranch stood prepared to withstand a winter siege. Everything to forefend against a day of stress or trial had been done, even to instilling courage into youthful hearts.
"There's only one thing further that comes to mind," said the practical man, as they rode homeward, "and that is to face an unexpected storm. If a change of weather threatens, point your herd to meet it, and then if you are caught out, you will have the storm in your back to drift the cattle home. Shepherds practice that rule, and the same applies to cattle under herd."
All horses were to be left at the new ranch for the winter. Dell volunteered to accompany their guest to the railroad and bring back the extra mount, thus leaving five of Lovell's horses in possession of the boys. On the day of departure, at breakfast, after a final summary of the lines of resistance, the trio dallied about the table, the trail foreman seemingly reluctant to leave.
"It's a common remark among us drovers," said Priest, toying with his coffee cup, "that a cowman is supposed to do his sleeping in the winter. But the next few months you boys must reverse that rule. Not that you need to deny yourselves abundant rest, but your vigilance should never sleep. Let your concern for the herd be the first and last thought of the day, and then I'll get my beauty sleep this winter. The unforeseen may happen; but I want you to remember that when storms howl the loudest, your Mr. Quince and I will be right around the bend of the creek, with our ear to the ground, the reserves, listening to the good fight you boys are making. Of course you could call the reserves, but you want the glory of the good fighting and the lust of victory, all to yourselves. That's the way I've got you sized up--die rather than show the white feather. Come on, Dell; we're sleeping in the summer."

Unfortunately, people do "total" or wreck their cars and trucks beyond repair during chapter 13 cases. When the vehicle is being paid through the chapter 13 plan, that can be a problem.
Option 1- if your insurance company declares the vehicle a "total loss," they will pay the lienholder for the value of the vehicle. If this is more than the balance due on the "secured claim" that remains owing to the lienholder under the plan, you are entitled to be paid the difference (assuming the vehicle was claimed as exempt). You then have your attorney file a "motion to modify" plan to take the vehicle out of the plan. You use the extra insurance money for a down payment, and get a trustee permission letter to use credit, and then finance another vehicle (or just pay cash for one if you wish).
Option 2- If you are unable to obtain another vehicle (and it otherwise makes sense), you can have your attorney file a "motion to substitute collateral," and use all of the insurance money, to buy another vehicle. You have the bankruptcy court order that the lien on the old, totalled vehicle be moved to the new vehicle. Then you continue to pay your plan payments, just as before. Notice: we have done this procedure many times, but it takes time, and it is not always easy. But it can be done.
