Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading in his recent pod chat. Ewan Kirk is the CEO and co-founder of Cantab Capital Partners, which is a quantitative hedge fund with 4.5 billion USD AUM and based in Cambridge, England. Cantab "employs a multi-strategy, multi-asset approach within the systematic space" according to the fund's website.
Ewan Kirk holds a Ph.D. in mathematical physics and he is also a computer programmer. He is a quantitative investor like James Simon.
"Cantab employs a multi-strategy, multi-asset approach within the systematic space"
Cantab website
In the quantitative hedge fund space, Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading and he argues that mathematics and computer programming are both necessary for successful quantitative trading.
"It's sort of useless being a mathematician without being able to computer program" said Ewan Kirk.
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading using a quantitative strategy.
Quantitative hedge fund expresses their view through computer programming. Speaking about the essence of a quantitative hedge fund being a computer program Ewan Kirk likens the skill of being able to code as a novelist who expresses ideas and views through language. "You express your views or your ideas through computer programming" said Ewan Kirk. "So I was a reasonably good computer programmer, I had a background in quant and Goldman very kindly took a punt on me" said Ewan Kirk.
"It's today's literacy (programming), that strand runs through my entire career but also runs through what we do at Cantab. I just spent the last two or three weeks programming up a piece of infrastructure" said Ewan Kirk. "There's no rest for the wicked as they say" he added.
"It's sort of useless being a mathematician without being able to computer program"
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading and what he thinks made him successful
"I think partly the reason why we may become more successful was more to the scientific approach to investment and statistics. I look back at these and look at the old tattered books about average true range and breakouts and it seems like the dark ages" he said.
"We are thinking at a much more statistical sense, more scientific. I believe that a more scientific approach to investing, a more rigorous statistical approach to it, I believe that's better than just a rule that happens to have worked in the past" said Ewan Kirk.
"Even though we started in 2006/2007, I remember people asking me, particularly in the States, why do you weight your positions by risk?" – Ewan Kirk
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading concerning why he assesses positions by risk, instead of taking a constant lot quantity.
"Even though we started in 2006/2007, I remember people asking me, particularly in the States, why do you weight your positions by risk? Why don't you take a constant lot of quantity? That's just madness, in a world where we have a contract, a wheat contract, which is maybe $20,000 and the nickel contract is $250,000, it's just an insane way of doing it, but it was the tradition" said Ewan Kirk.
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading in terms of losses being part of the game
"People are desperate to invest in something that never loses money. And that is of course why Bernard Madoff existed" he said.
I try to come up with a strategy that never loses money. But of course, we all want that. But the reality of almost all investing is that if you're really good or really lucky and you've got a very long track record, maybe 20-30 years and you've never changed your strategy over that period – which of course none of these things are true for anybody – maybe the best you can hope for is a Sharpe Ratio of 0.8/0.9, maybe 1. Broadly a good investment strategy is something over a long period that has a Sharpe Ratio of 1. Investors should want that" added Ewan Kirk.
Ewan Kirk's definition of great is 20% volatility with an average gross 20% annual return.
"But that does mean that every two years, it's going to have a drawdown of 15%, statistically, every four years it's going to have a drawdown of 20%. This is just what happens. Even if the system truly has that return profile, it's going to experience those kinds of drawdowns and it's going to experience losses" he said.
"the expectation of losses is something that everyone should build into their investment process at all times" – Ewan Kirk
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading losses using the Monte Carlo simulations
This is used to model the probability of different outcomes and understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in prediction and forecasting models.
"I have a little spreadsheet that I sometimes show to clients when discussing this, which simulates five years of daily returns from something which is a 20% return, 20% volatility process, effectively a Monte Carlo simulation" he said.
"And every time you press F9 on this spreadsheet it draws another graph on another realization of this random but positive process. You don't have to press F9 very often before you get a history that loses money in a straight line for five years which has a 40% drawdown. Remember this is something that's guaranteed to make 20% per annum over a long enough period. So the expectation of losses is something that everyone should build into their investment process at all times" he said.
Ewan Kirk talks about the science of trading in the context of systemic trading
This is also known as mechanical trading, which entails methodically making trading decisions. Systemic trading can be done manually or using systems. The industry is full of people claiming that they have the best trading system, according to Ewan Kirk.
"But in fact, finance is dominated by randomness, randomness is everything. And so because randomness is everything, you need to be uncertain, you need to have a lack of conviction in certain things because you want to be able to prove that things are wrong" said Ewan Kirk
"So when we come up with a new strategy or new idea or new trading system, what we are trying to do is find out what's wrong with it" he added.

Genital Nerve Damage Recovery: Finding A Way Back To Male Organ Sensitivity
Genital nerve damage usually doesn't happen overnight, but it can feel like it. One day a man's member is super-sensitive and reacts to a cool breeze. Not far into the future, a man is feeling numb, and nothing can make his cucumber grow. Other men experience the freeze or fire of neuropathy. The tingling and shooting shocks that persist indicate that something is not right downtown. But what's causing it, and more importantly, how can it be fixed? Here's the info every man needs in order to understand what causes genital nerve damage and to know the symptoms to look for, how to recover, and finally, how to prevent it.
After all, only Thor should have a lightning-shooting hammer, right?
What Is Genital Nerve Damage?
Nerve damage, in general, is also known as neuropathy. Many men may have heard of neuropathy because it's a common side effect of diabetes. However, a man can have nerve damage due to many things, such as disease, genetics, or lifestyle. Genital nerve damage specifically has its own causes and effects, most notably loss of genital sensitivity and resulting tumescence dysfunction.
Genital Nerve Damage Symptoms
There are several symptoms of genital nerve damage. Of course, not all men experience the same symptoms, and some experience them in less or more intensity than do others. The following are some of the most common signs of genital nerve damage:
- Loss of genital sensitivity
- A tingling sensation
- Numbness
- A bluish hue to the member
- Complete lack of feeling when stimulated
- A fiery or cold sensation
- A feeling of "pins and needles" or feeling as though lightning is shooting through the member
Potential Causes of Genital Nerve Damage
Genital nerve damage can be caused by many things, some preventable and some that just aren't. Thankfully, both kinds respond to treatment, and most men can regain some or all sensation back into their member. Here are some of the most common causes of genital nerve damage:
Disease States:
- Diabetes
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cancer
- Lupus
- Hepatitis C
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBS)
- Low androgen
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Peyronie's disease
Lifestyle Causes:
- Member trauma or injury (especially repeated trauma)
- Not using any or enough lubricant when having relations or practicing self-pleasure
- Wearing pants, exercise bottoms, and underwear that are too tight or in fabrics that are not breathable
- Using a "death grip" or excessively tight or vigorous self-gratification
- Intensely rough intimacy
- Genital Nerve Damage Recovery
There are several treatment options open to men who are experiencing genital nerve damage. Results will differ in intensity and success. Here are a few ways men can bring some male organ sensitivity back or regain it completely:
- Treat disease first before treating the nerve damage.
- Some medications cause damage; see a doctor for potential alternatives.
- Use a quality lubricant every time things are approaching dry, whether with a partner or solo.
- Pull back on the intensity or participation in rough intimacy.
- Stop using a "death grip."
- Take some time away from sensual activity of every kind for a while to regain feeling.
- Swap the tight pants and skivvies for looser fits and better, breathable materials.
- Use a specially formulated male organ health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to keep the member vigorous and sensitive. Using an oil like this that includes an amino acid called L-carnitine is the best way to go because it has been clinically shown to be successful at protecting the member from peripheral nerve damage.

Brought back yesterday, for repair and should wait TWO WEEKS!!!
It is under two year warranty, but as I said there is no way to repair that, because it is up to software, they are capable to replace new screen,charging port, etc.
By the way, incredibile that in all Europe there is no replacement parts for NOKIA, specially screens which I needed for NOKIA 7 plus. Service guy tried everywhere to find it through all repair shops,internet and nope!
Because of short supllies based on world health situation it is better to buy new phone instead to repair old one.
Unfortunately, 400 euros for Samsung A71 was too much, but I shall save my time and money and later to buy Samsung.
You know why?
Thanks to above mentioned defect phone I found one in closet and that is Samsung S3 MINI.
8 Years old.
And You know what? Samsung sends every picture through Viber and Whatsapp!!!
4 months old Nokia cannot do this...
Samsung, La Fleur series, wow, I am so fancy now with flowers and pinky decorations on my ear.
Yeah, better to be funny to my enviroment instead of cheated and frustrated customer.

Ukrainian // Assimilation > Nationalistic Societies and Influences > Effect upon United States Government and State Policies (III B 1) ?
The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was published in 1942 by the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project of the Works Progress Administration of Illinois. The purpose of the project was to translate and classify selected news articles that appeared in the foreign language press from 1855 to 1938. The project consists of 120,000 typewritten pages translated from newspapers of 22 different foreign language communities of Chicago.
Dr. Vladimir Siemenovich received the following letter from the Headquarters of the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
On May 19th, we received a telegram from you containing a resolution of the Mass Meeting of Americans of Ukrainian origin, held in Chicago.
Our information in regard to Ukrainia has been rather unsatisfactory to date, owing to the fact that the present military situation does not make it possible for relief to be carried to that country for an organization such as the American Red Cross. However, as you probably know, the situation in Europe changes constantly. Here in Washington, we cannot hope to keep in touch with these shifting conditions, and consequently have organized a Commission for Europe which keeps in intimate touch with all European affairs and instigates relief work in various localities.
As a result of your telegram, we have forwarded your resolution to our Commissioner for Europe, asking at the time that when possible he send us information in regard 2to what the Red Cross could do for Ukrainia. On receipt of an answer from him, I will be glad to get in touch with you.
Very truly yours,
Philip L. Ross, Assistant to the Vice-Chairman.
Dr. Vladimir Siemenovich received the following letter from the Headquarters of the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: On May 19th, we received a telegram from you containing ...
Ukrainian // Assimilation > Nationalistic Societies and Influences > Effect upon United States Government and State Policies (III B 1) ?
On the 26th of October a meeting of the Ukrainian Red Cross was called. There and then they elected local officers, and at that time they collected $35.95 for the Red Cross.
On the 26th of October a meeting of the Ukrainian Red Cross was called. There and then they elected local officers, and at that time they collected $35.95 for the ...
Among the Ukrainian workmen in the South Side of Chicago the Polish agents started a movement, recruiting as great a number of Ukrainians as they possibly could for the purpose of inducing them to take out Polish passports at their consulate, and leave for the old country. To counteract the evil, we wish to explain to our people at this meeting what danger each one of them runs into.
At that meeting of October 12, 1919, there were about 250 present, including men and women. It was opened by Mr. P. Kavatsiw. In a few words he explained to those that were gathered the purpose of the meeting, and asked them to nominate a candidate for chairman of the meeting.
Mr. N. Moranets was unanimously elected the chairman, and Mr. Yaroslaw Skrotsky, secretary.
The former thanked those that were present for the election, and once more 2told them of the purpose of the meeting. He expressed a deep sympathy for the Ukrainian brothers and sisters badly maltreated by the Poles in the old country, and denounced those few who do not consider the Polish yoke and atrocities as an ulcer in the very heart of every Ukrainian, who are being extremely heavily taxed even to the last penny that is verily earned with the sweat of their brows.
Further, he requested of all to break off every association with the Poles, our treacherous enemies, and never listen to their advice, for their aim is to injure and not to help us.
Mr. Peter Didyk was the next speaker. In his fiery and emotional speech he picturesquely portrayed the unbearable living conditions of our brothers and sisters in our depressed fatherland. The Ukrainians over there are ready any minute to lay down their lives for the defense of our fatherland. Yet, we, instead of helping them in their honest efforts, go to any Polack, our cursed enemy to take advice from him on how to counteract their destructive activity. Now reason this out with me: "Could 3there be any greater crime a Ukrainian could commit than to go to the Polish consul, take out a passport there, and swear that he is ready every minute to join their legion, and thus go and murder the enemies of mother Poland? Murder his brothers and sisters, nay, even his very father and mother, should they still be living in the wilderness without a place to lay their heads.
"Brother," continued Mr. Didyk, "your father and mother are living there in caves. Who has driven them in there but the Polish knout? Have you enough conscience to give away your money, earned with the sweat of your brow, to the Pole, and thus provide for him the means to procure a stronger knout with which he will drive your father and mother deeper into the cave, whence they shall never be able to see God's world, and themselves occupy their cozy homes, making themselves comfortable in their feather-quill beds?
You send clothing and footwear through the Polish agents who, instead of sending them to your wife, children or parents, are distributing them among those Polish bums who stand with knouts at the entrance of the caves in 4which your most beloved dwell, lest perchance they may show their heads out of the cave, their unavoidable grave, and thus in the meantime other nations may notice the horrible Polish culture."
Then the speaker was trying to inspire one and all to join the Siege ranks, and if need be to be ready to stand shoulder to shoulder, and with their own lives protect and defend the Ukrainian land against the Polish captivity.
Once more he called all to unity and unanimity, and to know and understand the hostile work of the Polish agents against us. A thundering ovation was given him at the end of his speech.
Mr. Peter Kavatsiw was the next speaker. In his speech he pictured the life of the forefathers of Ukrainia, and compared it with the present captivity in which our Ukrainian brothers suffer under the Polish and Russian governments.5
Now Mr. Yaroslaw Skrotsky read and explained to those present all sorts of information with reference to sending out money and parcels to the old country. This information was issued by the Ukrainian Exchange Bureau of Chicago, wherein those Ukrainians are employed who are well known for their merits and work in the national field.
Lastly Mrs. Mary Bilyk spoke on behalf of the Ukrainian Red Cross. She moved all those present to tears, who contributed $86.30 for widows and orphans in the old country. She also invited those gathered for the following Sunday, Nov. 19, for a special meeting of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
As before, so on November 19, there was a great number of men and women present. After hearing the speeches of Mrs. Mary Bilyk, Harry Kryvovyaz, and Yaroslaw Skrotsky, they understood better the object of the Ukrainian Red Cross, and without any encouragement on the part of the speakers, they contributed $22.55, which makes with the former collection $108.85.6
The chairman thanked those present for listening attentively and for supporting the Ukrainian cause.
The meeting ended with the national anthems, "Ukrainia is already arisen," and "We, Knights."
All left the hall with a resolution to contribute materially to the cause and fight even to the giving up of one's life, if need be, until that time when the Ukraine shall be a free and independent state.

Ukrainian // Assimilation > Relations with Homeland (III H) ?
Sunday, Nov. 16, the Ukrainians in Chicago and vicinity had an unusual honor, to welcome among themselves the representatives of the Ukrainian National Republic, namely, Julian Bachynsky, head of the Ukrainian extraordinary diplomatic mission to the United States, and Mr. Kozakivich, his secretary.
The greeting of the dear guests took place in the national hall at Oakley Blvd. and Rice St., during the extraordinary meeting of the Ukrainian delegates of all the Ukrainian societies in Chicago and vicinity, witnessed by an audience of several hundred people.
Dr. Vladimir Siminovich was chairman of the meeting; M. Ftomin and H. Kisil were secretaries.2
At 2 P. M. Dr. Julian Bachynsky and his secretary, Mr. Kozakivich, appeared at the meeting, being welcomed by a thundering ovation of those present.
In the name of the meeting and the whole Ukrainian colony in the city of Chicago and vicinity, Dr. Siminovich cordially greeted the legation of the Ukrainian Republic. To this Dr. Bachynsky answered with a speech to the meeting that was actually flowing from the heart.
Having explained to the meeting that the main object of the arrival of Ukrainian diplomatic mission to America was to gain recognition of the Ukrainian Independent Republic by the United States Government, Dr. Bachynsky pointed out the manner and the way whereby the Ukrainian immigration in the United States has the possibility and the duty to help the Ukrainian state mission to attain their main object.3
"The Ukrainian immigration in America," said Dr. Bachynsky, "is almost in its entirety of a working class character, which is a deciding factor in its organizations, struggling for a decent living wages. This characteristic of our immigrants in America, once farmers and laborers in the old country, who are earning their daily bread with their hands, is the reason why the Ukrainian immigration on this side of the ocean with such enthusiasm greeted the Ukrainian National Republic in the Ukrainian native land; an independent state of the Ukrainian farmers and laborers in particular.
"This almost uniform characteristic of the Ukrainian immigration in America shows that all its groups are in their very essence alike, not antagonistic, and as such should go in one direction, especially in the affairs wherein the welfare and the future of the Ukrainian nation, of the Ukrainian democratic state and its independence is concerned. The leaders of the several independent groups ought to bear this well in mind.4
"The Ukrainian State mission," continued Dr. Bachynsky, "does not meddle nor does it intend to interfere with the interior affairs of each group among the Ukrainian immigration.
"The mission treats all the groups alike as individuals working for the general welfare of the Ukrainian cause, and suggests only, and wishes from its very heart that the scale of activity of every group be raised to the utmost of its capacity in order to help the native nation and land to realize its wishes, sincerity and zeal, with which the Ukrainian immigrant is enthused for the common cause of ours.
"As in Ukrainia, all the loyal sons of hers, regardless of their political tendency, joined one common front to defend and safeguard the liberty and freedom of Ukrainia, so also it is the duty of the Ukrainian immigration on this side of the ocean, unanimously to stand together and with its power second the motion and thus support our brothers in the native land.5
"Contention and ambition of the individual groups can find its expression only in the field of zealous activity for the good of the nation."
Further, the speaker suggested the ways by which the beyond-the-sea immigration can assist Ukrainia.
In the first place this is a matter of a political activity and propaganda of the Ukrainian immigrants in favor of the independence of the Ukrainian National Republic.
Starting with shops and factories where the Ukrainian workingman meets the Americans, and going up to the highest legislative and executive bodies of the American Federal institutions, the Ukrainian immigrants have the opportunity of carrying on a propaganda in favor of our most justified Ukrainian cause.6
The American citizens, the American public opinion, the decisive American legislative, and other official bodies must be informed in every possible way by the Ukrainian immigration in America about the just struggle of the Ukrainian nation for its freedom and state independence, and thus help the free and independent Ukrainia to earn the approval and acknowledgment of the greatest republic in the world, the United States of America.
Every judicious activity on the part of the Ukrainian immigration aimed in that direction will aid our endeavor considerably.
This work of the Ukrainian immigration in America, in many instances, already has taken up in that direction an organized form of activity with the assistance of the Ukrainian press and the information bureaus.
It is understood, however, that the activity of the official Ukrainian mission in the United States has entirely to travel by independent roads.7
The second great duty of our beyond-the-sea immigration is to help materially the pillaged and destroyed native country during the World War, and especially that part of the country which suffered the most, namely, Eastern Galicia.
In this field this immigration can and ought to help very much the native country.
Contributions and the sending out to the old country of suits of clothes, linen, shoes, and other materials, and funds by the Ukrainian immigrants in America will alleviate the horrible misery among the relatives in our native country.
The whole Ukrainian (Eastern) Galicia groans not only from starvation and cold, but also from the dreadful epidemic diseases.8
For the money collected in America it will be possible to organize medical help and hospital assistance; to buy medicine for the sick and bread for the hungry.
A material help on the part of the beyond-the-sea emigration to the native land is at the present time of the most vital importance.
Therefore, with greatest joy the speaker did welcome the thought of establishing a Ukrainian Relief Committee among the immigrants of ours to help the native land. This had been proposed already and unanimously decided upon by the delegates of all the Ukrainian organizations in America that met in New York to make this a reality as soon as possible.
The aim of the activity of the Ukrainian Relief Committee is of an immense importance and of common interest to all the Ukrainian immigrants. Therefore, the proposed work of the Committee ought to reconcile to themselves 9the Ukrainian totality both in the United States and Canada. Only with united energy and effort of all the United States citizens of Ukrainian descent, who are the only source of help for our suffering brothers, the old country can receive such material help as is necessary at the present extraordinary critical moment to eliminate the heretofore unheard of suffering as much as possible.
The third point of Dr. Bachysky's speech was about preparing the emigrants to serve the native country as useful Ukrainian citizens in the event they go back there.
Many emigrants in America and Canada with time will return to the native land. Ukrainia entertains high hopes of her sons living abroad. Ukrainia will welcome them with sincere, open arms as experienced and well prepared builders of the new Ukrainian Republic and of the independent Ukranian national life.10
The sons of Ukrainia, who because of the long period of war, though many of them wounded, in great sufferings and scarcity, lifted up the risen Ukrainia and defended her freedom and independence, but they are too much exhausted to undertake the creative and reconstructive work by themselves. They need our help, our fresh unused energy. This supply of new energy will come from our beyond-the-sea emigration.
For the Ukrainian emigrants abroad, in the first place the youth, awaits a great task in the independent Ukrainia. They are to continue the life in freedom through channels of creative work.
Therefore, the Ukrainian youth abroad, of both sexes, ought to prepare itself here accordingly for that one great task.
Should they return to Ukrainia, they ought to be armed with sincerity, enlightenment, and stand as fearless defenders of the Ukrainian liberty.11
They ought to return with the greatest possible resources of human skill and professional knowledge.
Thus, in the old country, they will become leaders and teachers of their brothers, who lived all their lives in their native land, in those things which they had a chance to learn in the wide world.
Therefore, an organization of the Ukrainian youth among the beyond-the-sea emigration, whose concrete object is love of and attachment to the independent Ukrainia, to work for intellectual uplifting and professional learning of the members, is exactly the best sign that the Ukrainian immigrants of the United States and Canada understand well their future duty toward their own nation and their native land.
The speaker sincerely welcomes the Siege brotherhood in the United States 12who inscribed on its banner an uplifting, yet true, slogan "in union and learning lies the strength of the nation."
Under this slogan the sons of Ukrainia are shedding their blood for the freedom of Ukrainia. Under this slogan the Siege brothers from beyond-the-sea in an opportune time, will stand shoulder to shoulder to active work for common good.
A storm of a long-lasting ovation was the reward of the envoy, Julian Bachynsky, for his speech.
With the speech of Dr. Bachynsky ended the official appearance of the Ukrainian mission before the Ukrainian colony of Chicago.
Then followed a discussion of the delegates of the associations in the presence of the envoys of the mission.13
The following took part in the discussions: H. Kysil, Novodvorsky, Dr. Siminovich, Moranets, Kryvovyaz, Rev. N. Strutynsky, Didyk, Boychuk, Dr. Hrynevetsky.
The discussion was carried mainly on the ways of organizing a speedy material help to the native country.
As a consequence the meeting unanimously passed a resolution demanding of all the central organizations, whose delegates took part in the common conference in New York, under the leadership of the head of the Ukrainian diplomatic mission, to introduce and establish as soon as possible a Relief Committee for the purpose of helping the native country on the basis that had been decided upon by the delegates of the Ukrainian organizations at the New York conference.14
It was delegated also to the Ukrainian Red Cross in Chicago, as a local branch of the future Relief Committee, to start out its activity in Chicago and vicinity as soon as possible.
The treasurer of the Chicago Committee is Dr. Siminovich who, simultaneously with the activity in Chicago and vicinity, undertook to organize another Relief Committee in Canada, where he is invited by the Canadian Ukrainian organizations and will leave for Canada in the nearest future.
Immediately after the meeting they started the relief collection, which will be carried out systematically within all the societies, and at every opportune time till the end of the relief collection campaign.
Dr. Bachynsky, the envoy, made a good start by contributing $100 to the relief fund.15
The collection among the Oakley group was postponed till the next Sunday, due to the fact that the meeting was coming to a close.
To begin with $340.30 was collected on the very first day.
Dr. V. Siminovich, in the name of all the Ukrainians present, thanked the envoys of the Ukrainian mission for their coming to Chicago. The meeting ended with the national anthem, "Already Ukrainia has risen."
Sunday, Nov. 16, the Ukrainians in Chicago and vicinity had an unusual honor, to welcome among themselves the representatives of the Ukrainian National Republic, namely, Julian Bachynsky, head of the ...

For singing Christmas carols, Bohdan Chmelnitsky Siege Branch No. 15, Chicago, Illinois collected $387.11, the Children's branch organized by and collateral with Branch No. 15 collected $100 and the boy's branch also gathered $100. This made a total of $587.11. To this, Mr. N. Navrotsky, financial secretary, added from the general Siege account $7.89 which made a grand total of $600. This sum, Dr. S.K. Hrynevetsky, chief executive of the Siege organization, sent to Dr. Smallstotsky for the Ukrainian ex-soldiers, definitely stating that the sum came exclusively from Bohdan Chmelnitsky Siege Branch No. 15, Chicago, Ill.

Ukrainian // Contributions and Activities > Benevolent and Protective Institutions > Foreign and Domestic Relief (II D 10) ?
I am sure that you must have received by now my letter of acknowledgment and thanks to you for the substantial donation of six hundred dollars for the unfortunate ex-soldiers, whom ill fate has cast out of their own native country, for which they fought.
This, your good will donation, is constantly before my eyes, because it shows the actual fact that for the past few years how steadily you have felt an increasing sense of responsibility toward the nation as a whole. It is high time I let the world know of your noble activities, especially from the time your great Siege organization so widely developed pro-national tendencies. This activity not only woke up the old from inertia, but also the women, and even the youth became tireless workers in the direction of the national organizations. They do not spare either spiritual, moral, or physical support, in full awareness of the fact that only in this way 2the Ukrainian nation will win its independence and free its native land from under the yoke of the enemy.
My words can hardly express to you my joy in learning from your letter, wherein the donation of six hundred dollars was enclosed for our unfortunate brothers, whom ill fate has cast out of their native land to foreign lands, that this sum was collected by B. Chmelnitsky Siege Branch No. 15 alone, including its two collateral groups of older women and the youth. When our youth is already so filled with firely love toward their misfortunate brothers that they are ready to give them aid and help to defend their people and their native land then our faith becomes far greater for a better and brighter future for our Ukrainian people and thereby we are much stronger and closer to the goal of freeing our nation from under the enemy's yoke.
Hail to your glorious youth! Their youthful zeal inspires us and those whose faith after a long struggle in fighting for freedom may have weakened 3somewhat. Your youth wakes up the sleepy and commands them: "Unite into one national front and with greater determination against the cursed enemy."
May these, my words, come as a further inspiration and guidance to your glorious youth to continue its splendid work through which it will win the favor and thanks of all Ukrainian people. Of course, my former letters of thanks to you also include your organized youth.
Your humble servant,
Dr. Small - Stotsky.

We beg to inform the honorable Executive Office that on April 15, 1922, we sent to you a statement and acknowledgment of your last donation as well as a further appeal.
During the past heavy winter, the temperature in our living quarters was about nine degrees centigrade above zero for several days. Both we ex-officers and ex-soldiers are not so much concerned with ourselves as we are with the physical welfare of our wives, especially the wives who are pregnant. There is great anxiety over their confinements and preparations for the newborn.
Up to now we had a fund of our hetman, the head of our U. M. E. A. in Czecho-Slovakia, but it happened that on April 18, 1922, we spent our last four hundred Czecho-Slovak crowns to defray the expenses of the 2confinement of Mrs. Walter Kyprian, ex-officer's wife, who bore him a son.
We, therefore, wish to appeal strongly to the honorable Executive Headquarters to be so kind as to refer this matter to the women's associations and committees in the United States, as well as to the Reverend Pastors, so that with their counsel, influence, and work they will at least partly help us meet this extreme necessity and thus help ease some of our worry.
We appeal in this case to the women's committees and the Reverend Fathers because they understand the practical side of life much better than others. Nature, by the Providence itself, has thrown upon them the heaviest duty toward the new members of humanity, so that the former, as well as the latter, take care of the new life from the very beginning, especially the women, who do so with full sacrifice, and up to the very last breath of the individual.
It is to you, mothers and sisters, Reverend Fathers and Reverend Sisters, who are caring for and bringing up children, that we send our ardent appeal 3not to forget your sisters who, due to the hostile occupation of our country, were forced to give up their homes and now, in foreign countries in Europe, are not living but just existing; not in becoming homes, but in dark and uncomfortable barracks, and there they fulfill their duty to humanity, imposed upon them by the will of the Providence itself, and they expect to be delivered. Do not forget them, and instead of some small entertainment try to arrange in every one of your club groups a benefit day for newborn Ukrainian babies and send the profits you make at these enterprises to those distressed ones in Europe; thus you will help many suffering mothers.
To you also little children beyond the seas we send our appeal: do not forget your little brothers and sisters here across the ocean. Remind your parents every day to give you a penny for milk for those little children far away in the old country, take this penny to school and give it to your Ukrainian school teacher and ask her to collect more pennies from other pupils to send them for the poor children of the emigrants 4in Josefov, Czecho-Slovakia.
Many thanks to all of you to whom this letter of appeal is directed, for your past and future co-operation.

D. Kabarivsky, secretary.

Ukrainian // Contributions and Activities > Benevolent and Protective Institutions > Foreign and Domestic Relief (II D 10) ?
Before the Sitch organization will be able to get regular lecturers, who at set intervals could travel and give educational lectures, stopping at every district and company of the organization, the officers of every Sitch Company are ordered to read carefully all the main articles in the past issues of the Sitch News, and choose a theme for discussion before their next meeting. The article selected from our organ, before the next meeting, must be intrusted to two members who are to carefully study and develop it so as to be ready to answer almost any question that may arise during a joint discussion at the meeting. The first one of the two appointed must read aloud the article to all those present at the meeting and take the affirmative side of the article; the second one must be prepared to take the negative side in the discussion. The discussion must be conducted rather quietly, with poise, without mutual insults or attacks. The one taking the negative side will be the first to speak after the reading of the article; the one taking the 2affirmative, will have the last word.
After the discussion, the two main persons taking part in it must summarize the entire procedure of the discussion and send it to the Executive Headquarters in Chicago.
Fellow-members, this order should be complied with always. At the present time this is the only way whereby we can interest the greater masses of our people with public affairs, and thus help a number of people to develop better presentation of speeches, and clearer and to the point discussions.
Order as to How to Conduct Ordinary and Mass Meetings
In every Sitch Meeting conducted in its respective district, where a Sitch representative is present, sent by the Chief Executive's office, he has the preferred right over the local district head officer to conduct the meeting; however, the latter may conduct the meeting with the representative's consent.3
This decision is supported by the by-laws accepted at the last convention held in Cleveland. In short, where there is a representative sent directly from the Executive Headquarters, he is responsible for all the activities of that district during his stay; therefore, he must have authority.
In the districts, either the district head officer or someone appointed by him, who is conducting the district meetings, is responsible for the activities.
The chairman is only to conduct meetings, and is not to be the speaker; lecturers are to be the speakers. The secretary's business is to write the minutes and keep them in good order from meeting to meeting, and from year to year. The head officers are appointed especially to conduct all the Sitch meetings, and be responsible for them and their members.
Order as to Selection of Themes at Gatherings and Meetings
Any business of a local nature is to be discussed and decided immediately after 4the opening of a meeting.
The next necessary point at every meeting is to discuss briefly the following things which are of general interest:
(1) How to enlarge the Sitch Organization and the most efficient way of getting new members.
(2) The meaning of the Sitch uniform.
(3) The meaning of the Sitch press.
Immediately after each meeting the collecting of monthly dues and voluntary donations to the press fund should take place. The latter especially should be sent out at once to the Executive Headquarters in Chicago.
Dr. S. K. Hrynevetsky, Chief Executive.
Chicago, Jan. 5, 1924.
Before the Sitch organization will be able to get regular lecturers, who at set intervals could travel and give educational lectures, stopping at every district and company of the organization, ...
Ukrainian // Assimilation > Nationalistic Societies and Influences > Activities of Nationalistic Societies (III B 2) ?
Concerning Reinforcement of the Siege Organization
The Convention thinks that it is necessary to make some fundamental changes in order to reinforce the organization. One of the changes will be that the Chief Executive must appoint all the officers, with the exception of those whom he thinks ought to be elected by their respective District or Branch. In case of the death or the resignation of the Chief Executive, his assistant will take full charge of the Office. And in case the latter can not continue in the Office, he has the right to appoint an Interim Chief Executive, until the next referendum. The manner in which the Chief Executive is to be elected will depend upon the latest amended by-laws. This amendment is done according to the leading thoughts of the speech on the by-laws, at every Siege 2Convention, and according to the five articles in the Siege Organ, under the title: "Let us Build a Strong Siege." The Chief Executive is to hold the Office for three years. All the other officers are his subordinates, and they are either directly appointed, or approved by him. After the three years are over, he must call a convention, at which the delegates will either re-elect the old, or elect a new Chief Executive. The Convention must appraise and approve, or otherwise, the work of the Officers in power for the past three years.
The Chief Executive once elected for three years, can be deposed only by a referendum, that is, by a general voting of every Siege member, and when two-thirds of all the Branches and within each Branch, two-thirds of the votes are against the Chief Executive, he is deposed. Should the Chief Executive be reluctant to arrange for such a referendum, upon a demand of two-thirds of the Branches, the assistant to the Chief Executive has the right to arrange for the referendum.
N. B. After a conference of the lecturer with the Chief Executive, the former made a motion only to elect financial secretaries. Mr. Stephen 3Muryn of Chicago was elected the General Financial Secretary. The election of the local secretaries was left to the Districts and Branches respectively. Other officers must be left entirely for the approval of the Chief Executive, after such names are presented or submitted by the respective Districts or Branches. Until further notice by the Chief Executive, the present officers hold their respective positions.
Organizational Affairs
The Siege Convention considers only those people as enlightened, who steadily belong to one or more of the Ukrainian organizations, and who steadily carry some burden for the sake of their Ukrainian Nation in their state. All others are merely ethnographical material, who are either Little Russians, or Little Poles, who through their inertness, in case of fight, cannot be depended upon; but on the contrary, through their indifference they help the occupiers to hold the Ukrainian country and nation in bondage.4
Therefore, the Convention calls upon all Ukrainians to join the Ukrainian National Organizations and thoroughly fulfill the duties of the organizations, and at the same time train their children to do so.
The Convention considers the Siege as the only organization which can unite all the Ukrainians, regardless of creed or political party, on the whole earth: in Europe, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and other parts of America as well as in Asia, and elsewhere. Therefore, the Convention appeals to all Ukrainians, in whatever part of the world they may be, to form clubs, groups, within the Siege organization, in every locality wherever there are ten or more Ukrainians to be found, and to see to it that they get in direct contact with the Siege Headquarters in Chicago, if they are in America, or with other Headquarters, if they are in any other part of the world.
State Affairs
The Siege Convention is positively and firmly for the Independent5
Ukrainian State, since the whole Ukrainian Country is at present occupied by foreign governments. (A nation can be considered as unoccupied only when its land has definite boundaries, independent of any foreign country; when it has its own Supreme Government with its army, treasury, and its offices filled by its own people.) Therefore, because the Ukrainian nation is lacking all this on its own soil, it is in a state of war with all its occupiers. Although at the present moment the Ukrainian Nation is conquered, no lawful representative of the Ukrainian land and country has signed a peace treaty with its occupiers.
The Convention finds it necessary to create a Ukrainian State Center, outside its own country, where it can be free to establish the necessary Ukrainian institutions, organizations, and newspapers. Such a center should not have a committee, but one person; because wherever a committee rules, it usually leads only to deterioration of the national ideals. Committees should be created only as advisory bodies, which can take care of certain branches of general business.6
Individual members of those Committees should be responsible to the Chief Executive, who should have the right to accept their resignations, and appoint or approve new members, upon the request of the Ukrainian organizations in that particular country.
The entire Ukrainian Nation should finance this Center, especially the American immigrants, with a regular National State tax collected monthly by all Ukrainian organizations.
The Siege Convention recognizes the necessity of a united National State front in America and also ways and means that lead to this unity. In regard to this unification, the Convention admits that the general endeavors to attain it are so excellent that the Convention can add nothing for its betterment, except congratulations.
With reference to the National tax collected by the Siege Branches, the7
Convention gives a free hand to every Branch whether they have to send it through their respective Siege District Office, or whether each Branch must send it separately and directly to the Headquarters in Chicago. Each District has the right to direct and instruct its own Branches as to what they have to do and how they must do it in this particular case.
The Siege Convention considers it the duty of every Siege member to pay the National State tax regularly as had been established, to help the Old Country which is weltering in blood and suffering, and which is in dire need of the help for widows and orphans, for disabled invalids, as well as for the Ukrainian vernacular schools so terribly persecuted by the occupiers.
Religious and Church Affairs8
The Convention considers religious and church quarrels among the Ukrainians, as well as every kind of disturbance against the churches, as throwing a bone of discontentment, and thus distracting the attention of the people from the organized struggle for its State independence. Therefore, every kind of a quarrel against churches or between churches are to be considered nothing else but a ruinous activity, which will only benefit the enemies of the Ukrainian Nation. Every nation, whose lands are occupied by its enemies, must preserve harmony among its people, otherwise a fight is impossible, and all its dissensions among its people are instigated all the more by its enemies, who thus profit by the internal quarrels of the nation.
The Convention considers the press the chief medium of promulgation, propaganda, and firm establishment of the ideals of the organization. Therefore, the Convention has decided that from now on every Siege 9member must be a subscriber of the Siege organ. The nearest referendum must abolish subscribing to the paper and limit the monthly dues so that they will take care of the upkeep of the Siege Organization as well as the publication of its organ. The Convention approved of the work of the present editor, and also approved of his continuing in this position.
The next Siege Convention is to be held three years from now in Detroit, Michigan.
The Convention annuls all decrees prior to the by-laws of this Convention that are not in accord with its final decisions.
I Concerning Reinforcement of the Siege Organization The Convention thinks that it is necessary to make some fundamental changes in order to reinforce the organization. One of the changes will ...

The Administration of the Ukrainian Student Association in Germany turns to their brothers in America for material aid for the Ukrainian students organized into this association. The basis of its appeal is the difficult and distressing circumstances in which these Ukrainian students at institutions of higher learning find themselves--students driven from their own soil by their enemies. We are sure that our brief petition will find an echo in the hearts of our brothers who always express their sympathy in such circumstances by extending the hand of brotherly aid, thereby rescuing these students from starvation, and at the same time paving the way for them in the world of truth and learning, to the honor and glory of the Ukrainian people.

People I have met in Gruene...and my thoughts on Border Patrol
Jan 31, 2008
|I've enjoyed my stay in this little town of Gruene, population 20, which is really part of New Braunfels, population in the 1000s. I'm glad I decided to splurge on the B&B and just hang out for a day or two.
Just so I remember who I want to write about - Kris, Robin and Joanne, voice over guy, Cecil, Linda?, Steve, couple celebrating their anniversary (Honduras and Austin), George, potter from Buck Pottery, woman from Lone Star music, Zach Walther and the Cronkites, guy at the front desk, young couple from Ventura Megan and husband.
I first met Kris (Chris?) who works the front desk at the Gruene Mansion Inn. When I walked in I mentioned I thought I had just talked to her on the phone about a room and she suggested I come in to see a few. She asked me what I was looking for, and I said a comfortable but economical room. I knew I'd get a discount on their regular rates because it's January mid-week, and it was about 20% cheaper. She threw a sweater on her shoulders and said "I need to get out of here for a few minutes, let me show you one by the river." I asked if it had been a tough day, she replied yes, but not much more. We walked across the property towards some wooden buildings that had two or three rooms each with entrances on opposite sides. She showed me a delightful two story room that overlooked the Guadalupe River. There was a bride having pictures taken in her gown another building over. Downstairs was a small sitting room with two highback chairs looking out the windows (or at the TV) and the bathroom with clawfoot tub. Up the stairs with a landing and turn half way along was the bedroom with a queen sized fluffy bed. When I came back down she had her back to me leaning against the door jamb staring out across the river. I startled her when I asked about wireless access and she said that would need to be in the main house. That was okay with me so we went back to the main house and upstairs. There are three rooms upstairs, one is the owner Cecil's office, the other is the main bedroom and the second bedroom is called Bertha's bedroom. That's the one I stayed in. You walk through a door that's open way up high and if you keep walking straight you're out on the balcony. My own private wrap-around balcony. To the right was the bedroom and to the left was the bathroom. I thought it looked just right and when I turned around and saw the switch plate of the seahorse I knew it was meant to be. I told her I'd take it.
I talked with Kris again the next morning (Wednesday) after I'd had a huge breakfast cooked by George and was getting ready to go out for a walk. She asked me how the music had been the night before at Gruene Hall and we got to talking. She and her husband and three (or was it four) children live on the back half of her parent's property in a new doublewide trailer they'd bought new not too long ago. When her father was diagnosed with cancer, they decided to move closer so she could help her mother out. I get the feeling they weren't living all that far away to begin with, but maybe it was San Antonio. They were nervous about it at first, they talked about how it would be close living and it wouldn't need to be a permanent move. But now she says she doesn't want to leave. She loves that her kids are all the time running back and forth between the two homes, that her mother is teaching her daughters how to sew and that her son (the high maintenance kid and the reason for her melancholy mood the previous day) has really gotten to spend quality time with his grandfather. Kris says that her son is usually a pretty quiet boy, but when he gets something in his head, he is as stubborn as can be. Yesterday the teacher phoned her to say that her son was refusing to do his work. So he had to stay after school, Kris went to pick him up and when they got home he had to clean up the yard...to which the son replied "But this is Grandpa's job!" Kris told him "well today's it your job and I think it needs to be your job more often." She had parent/teacher conferences the end of this week, and she thought she'd be there for quite some time. It was just a really nice leisurely chat about growing up and families and what we thought was important for kids to have. We remembered the chores we were responsible for, and Kris said she was sure her mother could see through walls. Nothing got by her.
I walked down Gruene Rd to the end of town (maybe an eighth of a mile) and turned right on to New Braunfels Ave passing by some more shops until it met up with Hunter Ave the other road leading out of town. I walked on a sidewalk in a neighborhood subdivision setting until I got to FM 306. I walked along the side of the road where the houses were fewer between until I got to Common St a larger road. I walked along the mowed portion of the road and the short straw kept working it's way into my tennis shoes and scratching my skin. I kept the Gruene Water Tower in sight and cut through an apartment complex of sorts and another neighborhood being built until I found myself back on Gruene Rd and walked into and around town again. I'm guessing it was about 2-3 miles. The wind was whipping around for most of it, and I was somewhat bundled up with a scarf around my neck.
And the reason I really wanted a long walk was because of the HUGE breakfast I'd had that morning, compliments of the chef George. The first course included fresh fruit (pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberry and blackberry) and two types of muffins or breakfast pastry that were yummy. That alone was plenty. But then in walked George who I hadn't seen yet with a huge smile on his face. And he started telling jokes and chatting away. "Hey, I was just listening to the radio.. Big story just broke... UPS and FedEx merged.. Yeh, can you believe it? They're calling it FedUp..." Okay, I've heard that joke several times but it still got me. He left and came back with ham quiche, rosemary potatoes, bacon and toast. The quiche was excellent. And then he came back with something to nibble on - a big piece of coffee cake dripping in sugary stuff.
The next morning I slept in a bit later, and when I came down for breakfast there was already another couple starting on their fruit plate. George greeted me with "Hey Trouble, how was your day yesterday? I've got your tea waiting for you at your table by the window." He definitely is a chef that likes to talk with his customers, perfect for a B&B chef. He seemed comfortable talking with all kinds of different people, putting them at ease. I'd guess he was in his twenties. His father was Chinese and his mother Hispanic.
I sat down and said good morning to the good-looking clean cut young couple, but didn't initiate any further conversation. I was guessing they were on their honeymoon or celebrating some other special occasion and didn't want to intrude. However, with George coming in and out and telling more jokes, we did get to talking...
They asked how I'd found Gruene and how long I was in town, and I told them about my trip. He thought it was pretty cool, she was not so impressed. We ended up talking about the Republican debate the night before. I hadn't watched it because I'd been first at The Gristmill and then at Gruene Hall, but they had stayed in, which surprised me a bit. Good restaurants and free music next door? who can turn that down? But then as I say, they were young and if they were on their honeymoon or celebrating something special of course they'd be staying in.
The woman said that McCain did most of the talking, to the point where one of the other candidates said something about there being more than one person in the debate. She thought it was interesting that all of a sudden McCain seemed to have all kinds of support, but she wasn't impressed with either him or Romney. She thought that Huckabee was the winner, and had the best things to say. Surprising to me. I'm summarizing her words, of course, and after about 10 minutes of her talking - which was really quite interesting to me, I didn't mind at all - her husband jumped in, and said "By the way, Megan is a political science major in case you haven't guessed..." So that explains it. I was wondering where or how her point of view, and her thoughts that she explained so clearly, came from. We also talked about illegal immigration, something I brought up as I was trying to explain the odd feeling I had the whole time I was traveling along the border in AZ, NM and TX.
As I'm writing this now, I can finally pinpoint it. I felt like I was under suspicion every time I passed through a border patrol, and of course I was. I could be smuggling in Mexicans or drugs as much as the people in the car in front of or behind me could. And since the inspection checkpoints weren't at the border, they were 25 or 30 or more miles across the border, I never really lost that feeling of always being watched, of big brother being close at hand. We have two problems - drugs being smuggled across the border especially in Texas, and people coming across illegally. I think we need to attack them as two different problems, hopefully we are, because the two aren't always related. I think we need to know who is coming into our country, but I also think it's important that we work with Mexico and the people who are honestly coming in hopes of a better life in the US, rather than have the southern portions of AZ, NM and TX feel like a war zone underneath the covers. Between the border patrol and all the hunting shacks and resort hunting places in southern Texas, at times I really felt like a fish out of water. It wasn't a safety thing, I felt safe enough, it was more about feeling so different and far apart in ideals from some of the people around me.
Megan said living in Ventura which they did, they were definitely impacted by the 360,000 some immigrants that came over the border every year(?). (Does that number sound right? I can't remember if that was the number or time frame she quoted now.) She was frustrated not only with the numbers that got through, but also with the Mexican President who encouraged his people to go to the US, rather than try and fix the problems of his own country.
Enter George with another joke - "So Chelsea Clinton was overseas visiting troops in Iraq on a morale boosting mission. She thanked the troops for being there, for doing what they were doing. And then she asked them what three things worried them the most, what kept them up at night? Their answer? Osama, Obama and YoMama." We groaned and laughed at the same time, and George left to bring us another plate of food.
Shortly after that, the husband said "Honey, we should get going now. Let's let her finish her breakfast in peace and quiet." And she replied, "We're only five minutes away, it's right down the road." And while something told me not to ask, it was none of my business, I asked "where are you two off to?" They both hesitated, and I immediately said, "Oh, I don't need to know, forget I asked. So sorry..." But then he said oh we can tell her. And then he said "Go ahead, you tell her" to his wife. She said they had a doctor's appointment, which I thought meant fertility doctor. As it turns out, they were in town so that he could have a reverse vasectomy. They wanted to add to their family of four (two kids and themselves). Doctors in SoCal didn't want to do it, they wanted her to try in vitro instead. She thought because it paid them more, so they started looking around and found a doctor known for this surgery with a good track record, and here they were. I wished them luck and congratulations on their baby-to-be. He smiled, and said "that's the right attitude. Thanks." I didn't blame him for wanting to be early to the doctor's office. He was the one having the minor surgery, I'd be nervous, too.
But I digress, I was trying to describe George properly. As I said, he had the gift of gab, to the point where the guy working the front desk the second morning came into the dining room when we were talking and asked if George was talking too much. George looked embarrassed, but I said no, not at all, I'm enjoying our conversation and we talked about my iPhone and technology a bit. George retreated to his kitchen and I worked on my trip journal. After a bit, George came in to tell me the winds were picking up, and were supposed to be pretty bad in the afternoon, which was only 30 minutes away. Austin was only 35 miles away, so I had no plans to leave early, but when George told me they were going to be 30-45 mph, I packed up quickly. When I came back downstairs, he asked if I was going to stay another night. He said I'd better, it would be dangerous to be on the roads. I promised I'd be careful, and just get off the road if it got too bad. I think the Inn is lucky to have such a nice young man who happens to also be an excellent chef working for them.
I must've walked into almost every single shop in downtown Gruene. Everyone was friendly, but I really enjoyed the woman about my age, maybe a little older, a little rough around the edges, with long gray hair at Lone Star Music who is also a John Hiatt fan and therefore approved of my CD selection, along with James McMurtry and Dale Watson. When she wasn't sure about another CD I'd asked her about, she pointed me in the direction of their listening station in the other room so I could hear for myself whether it was good or not. She had the music cranking in the shop, just a little bit too loud for comfort, but whoever was singing was pretty good, so it was okay. While I was there, a couple of younger women who had just been hired came downstairs from what I'd guess was the office. She welcomed them to the shop, said it was a fun place to work, and she'd see them real soon.
Another favorite was the potter at Buck Pottery. He let people look around without any "high pressure sales pitch" as he called it. If you need me, come find me, he'd say. I was interested in some cups that I thought would go well with my Mary Law pottery and asked him about a set price if I bought six or seven. He said they didn't do any special pricing, they sold everything well enough, they'd been in business for 25+ years, etc. etc. Okay. So I picked out my seven small tumblers and took them to the counter. Before I knew it, I had received special pricing anyway. I had them shipped directly home to save me from doing it from Indian Rocks Beach. I'll have a nice present waiting for myself when I get home.
Gruene makes its living on tourism, so I know people are bound to be friendly but I really did enjoy their hospitality. It felt true. Once I arrived safely in Austin after a very windy drive - thank you truck drivers for giving me a break from the high winds every now and again - I sent an email to the Inn to let them know. Within 10 minutes I had an email back from Cecil, the owner:
Wow...I bet that was scary...maybe worse than wild hogs rooting at your door in the middle of the night. The wind can turn you over...the hogs just slobber on your tires.
Keep us posted on your travels...we admire you. Keep it out of the ditches...Cecil

text: Does anyone know where I can find the latest methods on using vocabularies? I've using one approach for a while now using SimpleVocabulary but that stopped working when I upgraded to 3.3. The errors are "SimpleVocabulary is not called". def getFunctions(): values = [ 'Black', 'Red', 'Blue' ] return SimpleVocabulary.fromValues(values) I thought this would be a good chance to build my vocabulary skills. I followed Stephan's book but I am receiving errors such as: File "/Users/djohnson/sandbox/Zope-3.3.0/build/lib.macosx-10.3- fat-2.4/zope/app/form/utility.py", line 64, in _createWidget field = field.bind(context) File "/Users/djohnson/sandbox/Zope-3.3.0/build/lib.macosx-10.3- fat-2.4/zope/schema/_field.py", line 239, in bind assert ISource.providedBy(clone.vocabulary) I figured that might be outdated, so I tried copying the "Connection Names" vocabularly but again I get the same errors. What am I missing? Where should I look? Warm regards, David

Shithouse park that was not built by an experienced park builder, instead it was built and the plans ' altered' by the backyarders from Campbeltown councils works team, and it shows by how bad the trannies and finish are. This park is a money pit that the council keep wasting money on by adding and subtracting transitions that turned out to be barely skatable. My personal favourite is the ledge than was later poured, running into the bank , that creates a swimming pool , when it rains. Shit park, shit council and definitely not worth what they wasted on it. Demolish it and find competent professionals to design and build a new one. See Modbury/Woodville/Osbourne/Munno parra for how to build a park.
This park has had an upgrade recently.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Sports Games' started by beechcroft, Jul 1, 2020.
Looks like Gustavo Kuerten and Marat Safin will be the legends players this time around.
Well indeed, once gameplay is shown we will know more.
They were both really good, but calling them "legends" is stretching it a bit, I think.
I was just thinking that! Not on the top of my list by a long ling way!
Obviously Agassi and McEnroe for sure, but yeah as good as they were, I wouldn't call Kuerten or Safin legends either.
Probably a bit harsh to not call them 'legends' - I mean they have both won multiple grand slams & in Safin's case 2 Davis Cups as well just neither have a lot of name value. But for sure I doubt they were at the top of Big Ben's or many gamers list of most wanted former players. Probably the only 2 players who were who were willing to accept Big Ben's low ball offer. The likes of Sampras, Borg, Lendl, Agassi, Becker would obviously all have more PR value. Even more historic legends like Laver & Emerson would have better.
Tim Henman?
Worth a watch.....
A legend in his own lunchtime.
Come on Tim!
One other thing, I wonder when they decided to change their name from Bigben to Nacon, threw me off at first when the second game was announced.
Here's what I found:
It's probably a better sounding name than Bigben in my opinion, every time I see the name Bigben, I just think of the clock tower in the UK.
For anyone who's interested:

We always try to find a small nice property instead of big international chains in every trip we do and after staying in many hotels of this kind we are 100% sure that Wild Fig Guesthouse was our best ever choice.
The guesthouse is tugged away on a battle axe property which makes it very quiet and serene however it is close to several tourist attractions. The grounds with the pool are in perfect condition with lot of greens and many chairs, coaches to relax with a chilled drink.
Rooms are spotlessly clean and large enough to feel yourself comfortable even for a long stay.
We would like to mention that every detail and every corner of the interiors and exteriors are built with love and perfection.
The owners are very nice people with a very gentle character of hospitality. We had breakfast and dinner at the guesthouse. Both were very tasty at reasonable price.
Dear Pieter and Karin, we would like to thank you for the excellent dinner It was like being at home or at friend's house. And this is a rather unique experience.

I enjoyed spending time with family at Sun City.
Food in Rustenburg.
Natural surroundings.
The area.
The Wildlife and sightings was amazing. Sun city was very entertaining and close to most of the surrounding guest houses.
Sun City was the place to go.
The tranquility and good condition of the road we used.
Sun City
Convenient location. Close enough for a day trip to Sun City. Not too much going on in Rustenburg itself, but it's pretty and quiet.
The Waterfall Mall was nice, the parts we travelled in was clean.
