Gustavus Ohlinger was born into extraordinary circumstance. His parents, Franklin and Bertha Ohlinger, served as missionaries in Foochow, China. It was in Foochow on July 15, 1877, that Gustavus was born to his Methodist missionary parents more than seventy five hundred miles from where he came to rest. Perhaps it was just the mere fact of being born so far from the country of his parents that led Gustavus Ohlinger to travel the world, practice federal law, author books, serve in the United States Army, and lecture at the Universities of Toledo and Michigan.
Perhaps it was the dedication of Reverend Franklin Ohlinger, Gustavus' father, to his translation, linguistic, and missionary work that led Gustavus Ohlinger to be such a contributing member and appreciator of the world in general. Franklin Ohlinger came from humble backgrounds in Sandusky County, Ohio, and entered the German-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio to be ordained in the Methodist Church in 1868. Shortly after he learned of the mission fields and left for China for his first mission, where he learned Chinese and began a newspaper called "Zion's Herald" in Shanghai. He later returned to the United States and married Bertha Schweinfurth before they both returned to Foochow and continued in Missionary work as well as the co-founding of the Anglo-Chinese College in Foochow where Franklin was the first president and Bertha taught. With these and other accomplishments, such as the founding of the Korean Religious Tract Society and creation of the first publishing house in Korea, how could Gustavus, their firstborn, not want to succeed and be as driven as his parents had?
Franklin and Bertha Ohlinger together had four children including Gustavus. Wilhelma Bertha Ohlinger, born in 1884, and David Birchard Ohlinger, born in 1881. Both were lost to illness in 1893, whereupon they were buried in Korea where they resided at the time. Their last child was Constance Ohlinger, born in 1901, who traveled around with her parents, particularly her mother, across Europe and Asia. By this time, Gustavus had already graduated from high school and began college in the United States.
Gustavus Ohlinger started out his education in China at the high school in Chefoo where he graduated in 1898. During this time, Gustavus' main means of communicating with his family was only through letters, most of which reside at the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections. Inside he often makes mention of his exceptional grades as well as the various activities he takes part in.
Below is a page of one of the earlier letters from young Gustavus to his father Franklin, written while attending the Protestant Collegiate School in Chefoo, China. The whole content of the letter discusses Gustavus' learning of Latin and Practical Geometry, and his lamentation that they are not learning Greek instead.
With such windows as these into his young life, it becomes apparent that Gustavus Ohlinger's schooling played a large role in his later successes. The early focus on education, even in a foreign country, allowed Ohlinger to progress on to his attending college. In 1899 Gustavus returned to the United States from China in order to attend the Law department of the University of Michigan. As though following in his father's footsteps, Gustavus was the original proposer of the Michigan Law Review in 1901. It began publication afterwards in 1902, which marks it as one of the oldest law journals in the country. This year was also the one in which Gustavus Ohlinger graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and Applied Baccalaureate.
After graduation, Ohlinger began his law practice and also travelled the world. The journals retained by the University of Toledo include entries while Ohlinger engaged in his travels at locations such as: Chicago, New York, Liverpool, London, Santa Cruz, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Walliter's Kop, Rustenburg, Woodstock, Jacobsdal, Lichtenburg, Irutersdorp, Palmitfonteiu, Durban, Laurence Marquez, Galle, Colombo, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canton, Foochow, Amoy, Swantow, Manila, Baling, Ku Shan, Nan yang College, Hankow, Shanghai, Nanking, Kewkiang, Taku, Peking, Nagasaki, Kobe, and Yokohama. This grand excursion took many years, from 1902-1905, as he also practiced law in Shanghai with a partnership with T. R. Jernigan as well as representing the Russian government during war settlements and reparations in 1904. Perhaps it is a grand skill that Gustavus Ohlinger was able to work and be on vacation at the same time.

Founder of CorePower Yoga found dead in California home
The founder of a Denver-based yoga studio that has exploded in popularity was found dead Monday in his San Diego Home, police and the company confirmed.
By: Mark Belcher
SAN DIEGO -- The founder of a Denver-based yoga studio that has exploded in popularity was found dead Monday in his San Diego Home, police and the company confirmed.
Telluride native Trevor Tice's death is being investigated as a suspicious incident, according to the San Diego Union Tribune, which spoke with San Diego homicide investigators.
Police responded to his home, which records show he purchased for $3 million in January, after being asked to perform a wellness check by a friend.
Authorities only released the identity, acknowledging Tice had died, on Tuesday.
CorePower Yoga confirmed the death on their social media platforms, saying "We are deeply saddened to confirm that our CorePower Yoga founder, Trevor Tice, passed away on Monday, Dec. 12, 2016."
The release went on to describe Tice as a person with, "boundless energy, an electric smile, an immutable desire to improve."
Tice's style of yoga has been described as intensely physical exercise that works every muscle.
CorePower Yoga has over 160 studios in 21 states. Tice was not acting as CEO at the time of his death.

Al gulped. "Tell me you're just messing with me, Spruce."
"I wish I could, Al." I spread my hands. "But that's what they all said."
"They could be lying," he said hopefully.
"I hope for our sakes they were."
"Isn't there any way to, like, sever the connection?"
"Not that I know of." I sighed. "I think our best course of action now would be to poison the Creator and get the hell out of here soon as we can. Maybe the midnight man will abandon us if we travel to a different world altogether."
"Maybe? We can't risk our asses on a 'maybe', Spruce."
"I personally prefer 'maybe we'll live' to 'we will definitely die'."
Al gave his trademark slight frown which indicated he agreed with me but didn't want to say so.
"Right then. Let's see where botox gets us."
Al straightened an imaginary bow tie on my neck. "Ready for your date, Mr Marlow?"
"If poisoning a girl at a badminton game counts as a date, then yes, I'm ready."
We made our way through the revolving iron gate inside Nehru Park, the little bottle of Botox concealed in the inside pocket of Al's denim jacket. A few yards away, the Creator had already started playing with Pragya, who was also a regular player in our evening games. Unlike the first time I'd met her, this time, the Creator was facing towards me.
"Brad!" She deftly caught the shuttlecock and shouted as soon as she spotted me. "Here!"
I heard Al snort near my shoulder and we walked to where the two girls were standing.
"You're late today," the Creator said.
"Courtesy of my friend Alden, who was busy with his make-up," I motioned towards Al.
The Creator and Pragya gave one of those polite smile-frowns you give when you don't want to offend someone by laughing at their insult.
Al extended his hand. "Don't mind him, miss. The doctor proclaimed him short of brains when he was born."
The girls shook his hand one by one and I introduced them to Al. It felt weird to say the Creator's name when I was introducing her, like naming your mother.
"Took you long with your shopping, Alden," said Pragya.
I'd completely forgotten to tell Al that I'd told them that he'd gone shopping for souvenirs.
"Brad told us you were shopping for souvenirs," the Creator added.
"Ah, well." I could practically see the gears turning in Al's head trying to come up with an excuse. "I'm a little more adventurous than Spru-Brad here. I got carried away exploring Delhi on my own."
"I see. Good that you're here now, though. Today one of us won't have to stand idly by while the other two play," said Pragya.
"But we only have Pragya's pair," the Creator said and frowned. "Tell you what, you guys play and I'll run up to my house and get my pair as well, and we can play doubles today. Bralden versus Pragni," she smoothly portmanteau-ed our names.
Pragya sighed loudly and rolled her eyes. "Don't, Agni. Just don't."
The Creator grinned. She loved annoying her best friend.
I started to take the racquet from Pragya, but she held back. "What?" I asked, puzzled.
"Let's see how your friend plays today, Brad. Alden?" she held out the racquet to Al.
Shit. Al had the botox. He was supposed to mix it in her water bottle while we played. I glanced at him. He looked back reassuringly.
"Challenge accepted, Pragya," he took the racquet and made the smallest of beckoning gestures to me as he walked to take his place, his back turned to Pragya. I followed him and he smoothly handed me the botox, pretending to straighten his jacket. I slipped it into my pocket and walked to the bench where the girls had kept their water bottles.
Pragya served and their game started. Al sucked at it. The shuttlecock fell on his side at Pragya's first serve and he sheepishly picked it up to serve it. It fell down again when he tried to serve. I tried not to laugh as he failed a second time and the shuttlecock fell right below him, sitting upright in the grass mockingly. I looked at Pragya. She was looking patiently at her opponent, trying not to facepalm. He finally managed to get it up in the air at his fourth try and Pragya hit it back gently, contrary to the powerful shots I was used to seeing from her.
Al was in Weapons Development, but that didn't mean he was the one who tested those weapons. He was basically the engineer and the chemical consultant. He did know how to fight, of course, everybody did- but the Annihilicap, the badminton-inspired weapon and other similar weapons weren't his forte. Plasma whips were his thing.
I looked at the two water bottles on the bench. One was red-and-blue, and the other was light green with one of those buttons that popped up the cap. I picked up the latter, which was the Creator's, and unscrewed its top. Pragya glanced at me at that moment, so I pretended to drink from it for her benefit, and as soon as she was absorbed in the game again, took out the deadly little botox bottle and unscrewed its purple plastic cap. We'd already unsealed the metal cap at the motel and thrown it away. It wouldn't have done to prepare weapons at the battlefield.
I tipped it towards the open mouth of the green water bottle and let a drop of it fall in, which Al had told me was more than the lethal dose. I was still unconvinced, though, and let another drop fall.
I was about to put the botox bottle back in my pocket when the pleading face of the Creator from my dream at the hospital materialised before me and muted out everything else. We laughed at your name, remember?
I blinked a few times. The Creator's face disappeared, but her voice was still there. I know you're not a bad person.
You killed my parents.
What we had was not all fake, you know.
You messed up my whole life. My whole world.
We laughed at your name, remember?
Rennie's somewhere drooling and blubbering because of you.
I like you, Spruce. You don't have to do this.
That's not a line from the dream.
Well, I'm saying it now.
YOU'RE NOT REAL!
Neither are you.
I AM REAL! YOU'RE IN MY HEAD!
You're a guy I made up. In my head.
"Brad? Brad!" Someone slapped me. Al, Pragya and the Creator were kneeling around me, looking at me worriedly. Pragya was holding her red-and-blue bottle and my face was dripping, wetting my t-shirt. I realised the slap I'd felt was actually a splash. There was a puddle of brown water at my feet and the light-green bottle was half empty, still clutched in my hand. A pair of blue racquets rested at Al and Pragya's feet, and the black strap of another racquet case ran across the Creator's torso. The botox bottle was nowhere to be seen, and neither was its purple plastic cap.
I shook my head and blinked. "Was I out?"
"Not really," said Al. "Your eyes were open, but you weren't responding. You'd kind of blanked out, the way people sometimes do in a boring conversation."
"You seemed to be deep in thought," Pragya added. "You were just sitting there with Agni's bottle emptying at your feet."
"What were you thinking about, Brad?" the Creator asked. "What was so intense that it made you blank out?"
"Spruce," I said dumbly, not quite in control of the words coming out of my mouth.
"My name's Spruce. Don't drink the water."
Al cleared his throat loudly. "Oh-kay, buddy." He hauled me up, supporting me with his shoulder. "I think we need to get you home."
The girls stepped out of the way. "We'll go with you," the Creator offered. "Whatever he was thinking, right now he's-" she made a swirl in the air with her finger near her temple that she thought I didn't see. "Dangerous to leave this guy alone with his thoughts."
"Thank you, Agni, but I think we'll be fine. I'll make sure I don't leave him alone with his thoughts," Al replied.
"Are you sure? This has never happened to him before, and he's alone plenty when it's my and Pragya's turn to play together."
"He was reading… uh… Stephen Hawking today." Al straightened me again. "Pretty sure that's what he was thinking about, and that's why this happened."
"If you say so. My house is the third from the left in that street," she turned and pointed to a street. "and Pragya's is two buildings to the right in the next street. Call us if you need anything. I would give you our numbers, but I don't have a pen on me right now."
"That's more than enough, Agni, thanks. We'll get going now."
"Dude, what the hell?" Al angrily slammed the door of the motel room.
"I'm sorry, Al." I slumped down on my bed.
"Sorry? Sorry doesn't even begin to cover it, Spruce."
"I am really, really sorry."
"I knew it." He held his head. "You've gone sweet on the Creator."
"Nothing like that," I said, and it was true. The Creator was a kind of mother-figure to me, not a stupid crush. "I- I just couldn't do it, Al." I told him about my dream, and what had happened at the park.
"Look, man, you saw Rennie in your dream too, right? Think about what she said. Think about how our world is all kinds of crazy thanks to the Creator."
"Our world also exists because of her," I said in a small voice.
"She could've made it right, but she didn't."
"She doesn't know it exists. She thinks it's just a story."
Al sighed. "Do you or don't you want to kill her?"
"Can't we somehow convince her to stop writing it?" Even before I said it, I knew it couldn't be done.
"Spruce, can I convince you to throw away your DLRY? Can I convince you to never listen to 3 Doors Down again?"
"There you have your answer. You've only known her a few weeks. And you've known your world all your life. Your parents, and Rennie. You're gonna let them down for the girl who killed them?
"You know what the teens here do? They go to school and paint and dance and stuff. We fight mutants. They learn stupid little rhymes and stroll around in prams here as kids. We learn combat and train to fight as kids."
I didn't say anything. What could I? I was torn. I was in a morally grey area, as the Creator would say.
But Al was right. It was either my whole world or the supervillain of my story.
"Where's the botox?" Just like that, out of the blue. I don't know why I said it.
"You're worried about-"
"You spilt it all away, Mr Protag." Al took the empty bottle out of his jacket. "Thankfully, I picked it up before that Pragya girl could see it. Kudos to you for wasting our most powerful poison."
"I did poison the water."
"You spilt that too."
"Not all of it." The bottle had been half empty, I remembered.
"Do you think she'll drink it? Especially after you so helpfully told her not to?"
"She thinks I was blabbing."
"But do you want her to?"
I lowered my eyes and kept quiet.

What to do, what to do. On the one hand, it would be nicer to get the Creator to change her story without killing her, but then again just TRY getting a writer to accept story advice from a stranger 😉
On the other hand, Spruce crushing on the Creator? 0.o
Could it be… love? Sprucie, just get it over with and kiss her already! Show her how you do it on mutie world! Get her to change her story with a little "physical persuasion"!
Sorry if my mind is in the gutter. I've been doing a lot of work on Oblivion and it tends to make one gutter-minded. Keep up the awesome writing!
I know, right? Especially if said stranger is not a writer.
I don't think Spruce-slash-Creator is on the cards right now, since he does think of her as a mother-figure. But then, even Cas says Dean is like a brother to him 😉.
In fact, I'd also initially thought of shipping them in the story, but then decided against it since it's a very common romantic subplot in stories where one character sets out to kill another. Getting Spruce to be attached to the Creator had always been a plan of mine, but later on I decided to make the attachment platonic.
Also, Oblivion? Finally! I hope to see another part of it soon, and I wonder what your research will yield this time.
Agreed. I think the "Fall in love with the person you're trying to kill" trope is a bit overplayed at this point.
But I'd love to see your take on it!
And yes, Oblivion is back up and running, Part 10 is coming along real nicely
Why, thanks, Star. Let's see if I change my mind in the future.
Ooh. I just checked your blog and found that I've missed out on two whole parts. Bingeing time!

Author Spotlight: Stace Johnson
On July 24, 2018 By Eric S. FomleyIn Author Spotlight, Interviews
Which author is your biggest inspiration?
I have had three mentors who inspired me at different times across the years, and all three have passed on. In college, poet and Nuclear Veteran Leonard "Red" Bird took me under his wing and nurtured my early writing. In later years, Ed Bryant and Melanie Tem both supported, encouraged, and helped me hone my craft. If I had to pick only one of those writers, I would have to say that Ed had the most influence on my writing.
What's your favorite science fiction short story, book, movie?
This is always a hard question for me, as it seems to shift. Perennial favorites, though, are as follows.
Short story: "Paladin of the Lost Hour" by Harlan Ellison
Book: R is for Rocket by Ray Bradbury
Movie: All of them. (Really, just one? Okay, I have to go with The Road Warrior.)
What advantages do you think flash fiction has to offer you as a writer?
As a poet, I've always loved economy of language, and most of what I write tends to be relatively short, so flash fiction feels like a natural form for me. My favorite part of writing is revision, where I can trim a piece down to the essentials.
Do you think science fiction lends itself well to flash compared to other speculative genres?
I was first introduced to flash fiction in the work of Golden Age SF writer Frederic Brown, so I've always associated SF with flash. It does seem to me that SF lends itself well to flash fiction, probably because there are so many established tropes that it's easy to set a scene in a few words. Horror works well, too, especially with whiplash endings. I would like to see more fantasy short-shorts. Maybe they exist and I've just been looking in the wrong places.
What are your greatest challenges with writing flash and micro fiction?
My greatest challenge with writing in general is overcoming inertia and actually putting words on the page. To that end, flash fiction is actually easier for me; it's less intimidating to know that there is an attainable limit, even if I wind up spending hours honing it in revision.
Is your favorite genre to write in sci-fi?
I tend to write in whatever genre lends itself to the work, actually. I prefer reading science fiction, but I've written literary fiction, poetry, SF, horror, steampunk, slipstream, urban fantasy, and I used to publish quite a bit of non-fiction.
Where can readers find your other work and which story are you the most proud of?
My favorite story publication to date is in the anthology Edward Bryant's Sphere of Influence, published by Mad Cow Press. It's a historical fiction story called "Chesterfield Gray", loosely inspired by my uncle's experiences in WWII, so it's a bit of an outlier among the horror and SF stories in the book. I released an old story called "Sphere of Falling" on Inkitt.com a couple of years ago, and people seem to like it. I have also published a number of poems in recent years, including winning a poetry contest hosted by Apex Magazine. A list of my publications to date is at http://www.lytspeedconsulting.com/publications/.
Are there any links you'd like to share where readers can follow you?

can anyone give some advice about the lengh of time a pump should run? our communal pool pump seems to be on most of the time, even in winter when no one is using it. it is cleaned once a week in winter and twice a week in summer. having just received a large electric bill for the communal areas, we can only assume it must be the pump being on so long. obviously we want it to remain safe, to keep the pool as it should be. any advice please? it is not covered.
i would like to thank everyone who took the time to contribute their expertise to this topic. thanks to you all, i now have a semblance of what should be occurring. the pool was on far too long, but we can look forward to reduced bills and i know what to look for re: PH levels etc. the pool is healthy and i will be checking to see it remains so!
many thanks once again to all those kind people who gave their advice so freely.
Winter time the pool pump can be set to run for two or three hours a day. Check with your pool maintenance contractor. He should keep a log of test results, which is a legal requirement.
For best results, run the pump twice or three times a day, to prevent stagnation. Remove debris regularly and you should have no problems. IMPORTANT!!!! Keep the pH as close to 7.3 as possible.
A good turn over for a Garden / Private pool with normal use would be 8 to 10 Hours .
It may be the case that the pool installed is not sufficient for the Pool Volume , check on the pump for the Flow Rate , it should be shown in M3 , then measure your pool , Length , Width and Average Depth , that will give you the M3 volume , from that point you can see if the 8 to 10 Hours is sufficient for the complete pool turnover .
It also depends on the pipe sizes , as only so much can flow through a specific sized pipe .
If you need more info please respond and I will send you my telephone number .
Pool pump running times I have used now for 5 years is ---- Winter 3-4 hours and Summer 8-10 hours, if it a big pool you may have 2 pumps working on it which will double the electricity used, hope this helps.


Tata is best known globally for their remarkable $3,000 car, the Tata Nano. Tata isn't crazy about being so synonymous with ultra-cheap cars, which is partially why they're launching a new performance-oriented sub-brand called Tamo, presumably from Tata Motors. Or maybe Talking Mongoose? It's not clear. They'll be showing their first concept at the Geneva Motor Show this year.
... believed to be a modern interpretation of the erstwhile Opel Speedster (or Vauxhall VX220) and, according to a Tata Motors source, will be "a stunning-looking car for the money".
The Opel Speedster was a pretty good-looking car, and a modern, mid-engined sportscar is always welcome to any party. Reports suggest the first production version of the Futuro could be priced at around $35,000.
... low volume, low investment model to provide fast tracked proves of technologies and concepts. TAMO will act as an open platform to network with global startups and leading tech companies, to get access to trends, innovations and solutions, for the design of exciting future products and services.
So, big, booming drums, vague computery-sounds, and glowing techno-beehives. Got it.
This development leads me to wonder about the fate of the rear-engined Nano; will it survive? Currently, the Nano does not share a platform with the rest of Tata's lineup. Will there be a Mark 2 Nano that's front-engined? That'd make me sort of sad, but I understand the drive toward platform commonality.
Alternatively, maybe one of the goals for the Tamo brand is to make a $40,000 Nano-derived rear-engined Porsche 911 fighter. That's something I'd be very excited about.

Olga met her future husband at work. The wedding was not arranged, modestly signed in the village council.There were three of us in the family. I'm the eldest, "Olga Mauletovna began. — Constantly helping parents with younger children. She thought that I would not have so many children — she took her own. But I do not regret that I became a mother of many children (Olga has six children). The husband works in the SEC at the dairy complex. His task is to bring money to the family. And I've been a veterinary paramedic for 15 years.
The eldest son Maxim graduated from the Elkovo school with an average score of 9.0. Former school activist and athlete studying at the Novogrudok College of Trade and Economics. But in the future he is determined to join the army. After — realize your dream of becoming a policeman.
Victoria — 8th grader — the main assistant in the kitchen. In the future, plans to become a teacher. Pyatiklashka Tanya helps out with cleaning, plays the accordion, and recently expressed a desire to go to a choreographic circle. Nikolay in the third grade, is fond of sports. Kids Alexey and Roman go to kindergarten.
"I am glad that not only in Zelva, but also in the Christmas tree there is room for children to spend leisure time," the mother of many children notes.
The Belov family lives on a clear schedule. Rise at 6 in the morning, then mom prepares breakfast, feeds the household, from 7:00 wakes up children one by one. At 8:00 — leaving the house, because the kids must be taken to the kindergarten and have time to work.
In our family, everyone supports each other, so we can cope. When students do their homework, the younger ones play at that time on their own. After dinner, we watch cartoons together, that — general hang up. At the weekend, we solve everyday issues, go to visit grandmothers, the stadium. By the way, when the children play, I do not remain an outside observer, but together I kick the ball, run to catch up, in the sandbox I "mold the Easter cakes". The husband works day and night at home. In the morning, sometimes we don't even intersect. But when I come for lunch, he already cooks food. I use this and try to devote to the children every extra minute.
Olga admitted that mothers with many children have enough difficulties. When she goes to the hospital with Roma, the pope takes all the burden of care on himself and he copes with the household chores perfectly.
Mom speaks about children with special love. And she has a story about each.
An interesting incident happened when Olga was carrying Tatyana: they said on all ultrasound scans: there will be a boy. And when the girl was born, my mother was surprised to the point of stupor, because the doctors had so long and confidently promised the guy.
The gender of the children was not important to me. The main thing is that they were born healthy, "says a mother with many children. — But our dad is glad that he has 4 sons.
The Belov family feels state support. Parents pay half the cost for kindergarten, at the school mugs and meals on an extension are free. Prices for electricity and gas are not limited.
"Recently, children's allowances have increased," says Olga. — But money never happens much — all payments go as intended. Yes, and my husband and I try to earn more so that the children have enough for everything they need. They need not only to be fed. They also need diapers, diapers, and toys. Maternity capital, benefits and housing assistance from the state are good. But daily work is brought up nii — only parental chores.
The Belov family spends the first budget on the most necessary things — paying for a communal apartment and kindergarten. The next article in the family budget is the purchase of clothing. They try to ensure that children «are dressed no worse than others.» But for the sake of natural products, the family keeps their household.
Geese got. They are not picky: they walk, pinch the grass — and the meat grows. There are chickens.
The chief specialist in ideological and social work of SEC "Synkovichi" Olga Deshko said that the company also supports large families:
– In the framework of the action "Let's collect children to school", those who have the status of a large family have been paid 6 basic units for each student. Backpacks presented to first-graders. On the line at the end of the year, we always encourage students who have proven themselves in school and sports. We organize morning performances, take excursions, give gifts for the New Year and Christmas. We are interested in the improvement of the demographic situation in the Zelva district, the youth here

Putnam: Fundraiser to help veteran who suffered stroke
Caurie Putnam West Extra columnist
When Erica Hand married Andrew Hand five months ago at Letchworth State Park, she never imagined her vows of "in sickness and health" would present themselves so quickly.
"It's not something you ever think about your husband having a stroke when he's 38 and totally healthy," said Erica, 30, describing what happened to her husband, a combat veteran, on Dec. 28, 2014.
The newlyweds were asleep in their North Chili home when Andrew woke up Erica at 2:30 a.m. in distress and unable to talk. She works in the medical field and knew right away he was having a stroke.
Andrew was rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke and placed in intensive care. It was unclear whether he would survive.
"We were told it was the worst type of stroke you can have," Erica said. "I thought we were going to lose him."
Andrew survived After a month at Strong, he came home last week. It is unknown what caused the stroke, but he can no longer talk.
"The doctors can't give us a definite answer as to his recovery," Erica said. "He is in rehab, speech, physical therapy and occupational therapy. He definitely can't work and neither can I because he can't be left alone."
Ralph Presciutti, Commander of The Greece American Legion Post 468, sprang into action after hearing about Andrew's stroke from two members of his post, who serve in the same Army Reserve Unit as Andrew.
"I knew I wanted to do something as a fundraiser to help the family," Presciutti said.
Presciutti and his post have organized a pasta dinner Saturday in Greece to benefit Andrew, Erica, and their four children ages 15, 12, 8 and 2.
"This is what we do. We support our vets," said Presciutti about the American Legion. "When things happen to a vet we do what we can whether it's moral support, helping around the house, or financial support. This family is going to need our help in all three for a long time."
Help is something the Hand family is more used to giving than receiving. Andrew has served in the Army reserves since 1994 and was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and 2008. He is currently an E-5 Sargent with the 490th reserves as a squad leader and Erica is his reserve unit's family readiness group coordinator.
She says she is thankful for the community support and knows her husband is too even though at this moment he cannot express it with his voice.

Q: Restoring a Mathematica session without notebook interface It happens all the time that I close my Mathematica session and later I regret that I have done so, because there are many things that I would like to check.
I would like to know if there is a way to store all the information of a Mathematica "session" in a file, for later use. Somehow, one should be able to use such file to restore the old session (not necessarily the previous one), without running the code again.
In Matlab, for example, there is the option of saving the current "workspace".
Important: I use Mathematica within Linux terminal, without a notebook interface. So, I am not interested in any solution dependent on the interface.

'Ghost guns' are untraceable, easy to make, more prevalent
Associated Press / 08:27 PM November 25, 2019
For a few hundred dollars, tools and some elbow grease, you can make your own rifle or handgun. It's all perfectly legal — and it can be done without leaving anything behind for the government to trace.
These "ghost guns" have long been popular among hobbyists or gun enthusiasts. But gun-control advocates say they are increasingly popping up in crimes, used by people who are prohibited from buying a firearm and are trying to circumvent a background check.
"Whatever the hobbyists think about it, criminals are taking advantage of this," said Nick Suplina, managing director for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control group funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"These firearms directly undercut federal and state law designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them," he added.
Last week, a teenager used a homemade handgun to fatally shoot two classmates and wound three others at a school in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said. He shot himself and later died.
He was too young to legally own a gun in California. It's not immediately clear how he acquired the firearm — a .45-caliber, 1911-model replica pistol assembled from gun parts with no serial number.

For a few hundred dollars, tools and some elbow grease, you can make your very own rifle or handgun. It's all perfectly legal — and it can be done without leaving anything behind for the government to trace. These so-called ghost guns have long been popular among hobbyists or gun enthusiasts. But gun-control advocates say they are increasingly popping up in crimes, used by people who are prohibited from buying a firearm and are trying to circumvent a background check.

The boy's father was described as an avid hunter who died two years ago. He had six registered guns, but officials found several other unregistered firearms in the home after the shooting and were working to determine their history.
There are several ways to make your own firearm, some requiring more knowledge than others — from building each piece and then assembling it with the use of high-tech machines and tools to buying a kit online and assembling the gun with minimal machinery required. There also are some people who use a 3D printer to create the "receiver" — the essence of a firearm — that houses its critical components.
Plenty of online companies sell what are called 80 percent receivers, which are nearly finished and require just a bit of drilling to be usable. They don't have a serial number and don't require a background check.
There have even been so-called build parties — sometimes promoted on social media — where people construct firearms together.
It's legal to make your own firearm if it's for your personal use and you don't intend to sell it.
For some in the gun rights community, it's considered a constitutional right, part of the Second Amendment that gives Americans a right to possess a firearm. Some want the satisfaction of making something from scratch, while others are motivated by libertarian political beliefs and recoil at the government being able to keep tabs on whatever weapons they own.
"Why are we even having this question? If we have a right to make and bear arms, we have a right to make them," said Matthew Larosiere, director of legal policy at the Firearms Policy Coalition.
Larosiere describes himself as a collector who has made quite a few of his own firearms over the years. He says such guns are rarely used in crimes and considers efforts to clamp down on their availability unfair to law-abiding gun owners, driven by false "CSI"-style fears of undetectable guns.
"Is it worth it to eviscerate a new technology and increase the size of our already massive criminal law just to assuage fear, fear with no actual backing in fact? I'd say, probably not," he said.
Quite a few ghost guns have emerged in high-profile shootings in recent years in California, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
Besides the shooting at the school in Santa Clarita last week, authorities found perpetrators of a 2014 bank robbery in Stockton had a homemade AK-47. The previous year, a man who killed five people on a college campus in Santa Monica had assembled an AR-15 after failing a background check at a gun dealer.
Two years ago, a man who killed his wife and four others in Northern California had been prohibited from possessing a firearm because of a restraining order. He had handed over a 9 mm handgun but then made two rifles at home and used them in the attack.
Tom Manger, a retired Maryland and Virginia police chief, said law enforcement is increasingly concerned about ghost guns popping up in crimes. Companies will sell parts online that don't require a background check and cost several hundred dollars.
"Now, not only is it available, it's easily available," he said.
Manger has been at legislative hearings about measures to clamp down on gun parts and heard opponents saying they don't want the government to know what weapons they own.
"As a cop, I'm telling you, I hear that, and I get a chill," he said. "People want these guns because they want to be invisible to government and to law enforcement."
Though it's become much easier to stay anonymous as technology has advanced, it's not always cheaper. With sales for AR-platform rifles slumping, prices have dropped considerably, and it's usually cheaper to buy one from a dealer than make one.
But for some firearms, such as the Israeli Galil-style rifle, it might cost about $300 to buy the parts and more than $1,000 to buy one from a dealer.
"If you can use a drill, you can manufacturer a gun largely in 15 minutes," said David Chipman, a retired agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and now senior policy adviser for the Giffords gun control group.
"We're far from the days of 20 years ago where if you don't have a friend who has a machine shop, you can't do this with tools you have in your home," he said.

Brunello di Montalcino is a red Italian wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino located about 120 km south of Florence in the Tuscany wine region. Brunello, a diminutive of Bruno, a male given name which means brown, is the name that was given locally to what was believed to be an individual grape variety grown in Montalcino. In 1879 the Province of Siena's Amphelographic Commission determined, after a few years of controlled experiments, that Sangiovese and Brunello were the same grape variety, and that the former should be its designated name. In Montalcino the name Brunello evolved into the designation of the wine produced with 100% Sangiovese.

ILIFE has been busy the past couple of months in terms of product development.
Just a few days ago I published a review about the ILIFE A6 – their latest in the A-series robotic vacuums.
Now we're going to have a look at the A4S.
First let's quickly dive into the differences between these 3 variants then focus solely on the A4S.
There are 3 major upgrades that include improved charging run time, brush and motor.
The A4S and A6 come with the 2nd generation motor that improves efficiency. The beater bar in the A6 does not have any bristles. This translates to easier maintenance.
Take note that all ILIFE robots come with brushless motor that's more efficient than a brushed motor.
Having a newer motor does not translate to more power unfortunately. Both these robots will produce the same power output as the A4 which is 1,000Pa.
The bigger upgrade in my opinion would be the motorized brush. A4S comes with a stiffer brush that ILIFE says will work better on hair and dust.
Bearings also have upgraded to provide better efficiency and agitation. This improves efficiency on carpet.
What to expect from the upgraded A4?
In terms of looks this robot aesthetics this robot looks exactly like the A4. It uses the same outer shell, has the same color and bin.
From the outside looking in, it looks exactly like the A4. Both use the same color scheme and have the same layout underneath.
Nearly all parts inside the A4 have improved in the A4S.
All these upgrades aim to improve run time, agitation and service life of the robot.
Using a brushless DC motor improves will extend the lifespan of the robot because it's more efficient in terms.
Typically, these motors are more expensive because of the complex manufacturing process but ILIFE was able to keep the prices down. Compared to the A4, there isn't much of a price difference.
ILIFE has added a feature that small homeowners like me will appreciate. They call this the Mini-Room technology.
Now to understand how this technology works, you'd have to first understand how the robot works without this feature.
When you press the clean button it engages the default cleaning mode of the robot.
In simple terms, the robot cycles through its cleaning pattern until it detects that battery is at 20% or below. After that happens it automatically shuts off the motor in order to find home base.
The problem arises when cleaning a small room – let's say 100 square feet. It will run for more than two hours before docks. While I love the thoroughness, it isn't practical to run the robot for that long in a small area.
Eventually battery degrades at an accelerated level and you'll have to replace it sooner than later.
The Mini-Room technology alleviates this issue somewhat by reducing the amount of time the robot cleans.
The A4S has the same remote as the A4 with directional buttons and a max button to activate max suction. You could actually use the remote on different on all ILIFE robots with the except of the V1 which does not have one.
The A4S retains the same 2,600 mAh Li-ion battery that offers fade-free power that will run between 120 and 140 mins.
Why the longer run time? It's because of the brushless DC motor that runs with efficiently compared to a brushed motor.
The front caster wheel has an sensor that tells the robot to back up when it detects no movement. So this means that if the robot climbs over a door stopper and finds itself stuck, it will try to back up.
What's the difference between the A4 and A4S?
I've recorded a video to show you the similarities and differences of the A4 and A4S.
Most of it is the non-visible stuff – brush, battery, bearings and software. According to GearBest, the A4S will run longer and upgraded brush. The new brush has a bigger bearing and supposedly easier to clean.
In terms of stiffness, both brushes are similar. I don't see much of a difference to be frank with you.
And if you watched the whole video up to the cleaning test, the A4 did better in terms of cleaning but it was much less efficient taking 10 minutes more to clean the room.
To be fair with the A4S, I did add a bit more powder so that could be a factor why it picked up 3 grams less.
I scattered 50 grams of oats, powder, hair and dust on our linoleum floor to test out how this robot will do.
It was able to pick up 44 out of the 50 grams scattered on the floor. A bit underwhelming because I expected more but it's just the first test.
It really isn't a cleaning test per se but until I have the actual robot I wouldn't be able to test it.
There are only a few places to buy this robot – Amazon and GearBest. Amazon sells this for a little less than $200 – cheaper than the Roomba 650.
The A4S offers some neat upgrades here. My favorite would be the Mini-Room technology that cuts down the time this robot will run in a small room.
This feature lengthens the life of the batteries because you don't have to drain it as often.
A brushless DC motor adds almost 30 minutes to the run time. This allows it to clean larger homes without having to dock as often. Again efficiency is the name of the game here.
Improvements made isn't dramatic, most of it are geared towards better efficiency and longer run time.
Wait for my comparison between the two.
Hi, How to activate mini-room mode in A4s ?
The latest A4 models, Are really A4s?
Is it worth buying the A6 model at the A4s?
Does it have much difference in performance?
Be aware that ILife changed the specs on the battery they are including with the A6. Now they are only stating a run time of a mere 90 minutes. So it has dropped substantially from when I bought my unit. They had changed the specs in their online manual, although my printed ones still show a runtime of 160 minutes.
I've been talking to ILife about this and they seem rather cavalier about this change they made behind the scenes.
How do you activate the max mode?

Aisha El-Mekki's mother didn't believe in 'sparing the rod'. She also had a deep respect for teachers, nuns and other authority figures; a respect that never trickled down to her youngest daughter. Discipline was real in the El-Mekki household, so from an early age she and her older sister formed an alliance. They promised not to tell on each other. Sometimes El-Mekki even took a beating for her sister. When she was in first grade, the two were sent away to a private, all-white boarding school. In third grade, El-Mekki was expelled. "As a child, if I got backed into a wall, I would refuse to do whatever you wanted me to do because you were trying to force me." Upon returning to her home in Philadelphia, El-Mekki's mother – who worked until five everyday – enrolled her daughter in the neighborhood school. It was around this time that El-Mekki met her best friend, Shakora. The two began spending afternoons together, deepening their friendship and getting into trouble. "One time I was on a bus. It was a Friday afternoon. The bus driver said my pass had expired; that I had to get a transfer…so he gave me a transfer while waiting for the next bus and the next bus was late. We waited for a while. There was a crowd of people by the time the bus came. [The next bus driver] said that my pass had expired and that I needed to get off the bus. Well I didn't have any more money, so I said, 'I paid my fare and I will ride.' This man decided that he was going to send a message. So he stopped a police car and told them that I refused to pay. The police emptied the bus and told the driver to drive to the police station with just me on it….so he drives this empty bus to the police station and they arrested me. And this just infuriated me. My mother had to be called and of course she was just livid….she had to end up getting a lawyer, and had to go court, miss time from work…and eventually it was resolved but I mean they charged me. I had a record. It was ridiculous. That was my first incident with what I consider police brutality…and how they can escalate a situation unnecessarily." Three years later, El Mekki graduated from an all-girls Catholic high school. It was at this point that she began to question the Trinity. She didn't want to leave the church; she believed she would go to hell if she did. Still, the questions remained. So she kept her eyes open. After college, El-Mekki decided she wanted to become a social worker. She learned about a group called the Black Panther Party that was organizing programs for the needy. "When I heard about these people feeding children – and I worked on the midnight shift – I said, 'you know what? I'm gonna go up there'. And there were tables and tables of children being fed cereal and toast, and I was really amazed. People were doing this out of the bottom of their hearts. They weren't getting paid for it. But they wanted to make sure the children were getting a decent breakfast." El-Mekki joined the group. At the same time, her religious search continued. "I had an aunt that was Muslim. I used to visit her. She was not aggressive, she was not pushy, she was not trying to convert me. Anytime I had a question, she would answer. Her husband was very nice. And I liked the way her family was so calm. It was so peaceful. And so I would go visit her often. During that time I was in the Black Panther Party, and she didn't disapprove. Everybody else in my family said, 'Here she goes again, doing something off the beaten path.' But not aunt Mariam. One time when we knew that there was going to be a police raid, and we were trying to get the children out because I didn't want the children to be there. And she just told me to bring them to her house. You know? And I just admired her. I just said wow, if her religion supports revolutionary acts like that, then I want to hear more about it. So she would always be listening to Shaheed Malcolm's albums. She owned every word he ever said. And she'd often have his records on when I'd go over there. And she gave me his book to read because I was always asking questions about him. And that was like the answer to my prayer. You know? The part where he said that our religion doesn't teach us to be aggressive, but if you lay a hand on me, then I can send you to the cemetery. And I said, 'I can do that. That is the religion that I need.' You know, that allows me to defend myself. That doesn't encourage me to just constantly turn the other cheek. Nobody else is turning the other cheek. They're turning the other side of their hand. And so i decided you know what, that's when I decided Islam was for me because it allowed me to be religious and at the same time, be revolutionary." innerrevolutions.net

Interview with Frank Blome
Frank Blome heads Volkswagen's Center of Excellence for Battery Cells. In this interview he explains how batteries are changing the automobile, what drivers should know about charging their e-cars and what advances we can expect to see in the next generations of battery technology.
"For our new electric models we've essentially built the car around the battery."
Frank Blome Head of Volkswagen's Center of Excellence for Battery Cells
Many people enter unknown territory when they buy an electric car. Can they be sure that the batteries will perform?
Yes, absolutely. For our new electric models we've essentially built the car around the battery, so there's plenty of space to store power. This lets us achieve ranges of up to 550 kilometers, and at affordable prices. The battery modules used to be distributed in various places in the car – but now the battery is compactly located between the axles in the underbody. This means we have a central distribution point for the energy. It's one of the big advantages of our new MEB electric drive platform.
How long do the batteries last?
Our aim is always for our batteries to last as long as the cars. We guarantee a minimum capacity of 70 percent for eight years or 160,000 kilometers. But drivers can also influence the length of a battery's service life. Normal charging is better for the batteries than rapid charging, and charging the batteries up to just 80 instead of 100 percent also increases their service life.
Isn't it a little impractical not to charge the car completely?
In most cases 80 percent is more than enough. Many customers tend to drive short distances, like going to work or going shopping. The battery doesn't have to be charged 100 percent for that. You do your driving and charge the car when needed, usually at your home wallbox. Of course, if customers want, it's always possible to charge cars up to the full range. To meet this need, Volkswagen is working with other carmakers to build a network of rapid charging stations on European freeways. That will especially help customers going on long trips, like setting off on vacation.
Can you describe how the battery is structured?
The battery systems in our new e-car models are flat and located between the axles in the vehicle's underbody. They're shaped a little like a bar of chocolate. Every battery system is composed of a variable number of battery modules, which in turn consist of individual cells. The advantage of this modular structure is its flexibility. The greater the range the car should have, the more modules we incorporate into its battery system. But the basic structure is always the same. This makes our production both variable and cost efficient.
The battery system of the MEB platform has a modular design
Research is also being done on the next generations of batteries. What improvements can we realistically expect?
We've made enormous progress over recent years. The energy density of lithium-ion batteries has doubled since 2014, for example, making it possible to increase the range of our new e-cars. I'm expecting further significant advances in lithium-ion technology – although no longer at the same rate. The next big leap will probably be to solid-state batteries. We are working intensively on this technology with our partner QuantumScape.
What can solid-state batteries do – and when will they be ready for use?
Solid-state batteries have an even greater energy density than today's lithium-ion batteries and therefore enable longer ranges. They're also lighter, more economical, and can be charged faster. But it will be several years before they're ready for large-scale industrial production. That could be sometime between 2025 and 2030.
How is battery research done at Volkswagen?
In addition to Group Research, a key role is played by the Center of Excellence in Salzgitter, where we consolidate our expertise and develop it further. Our experts at the Center of Excellence are working in all the fields – from developing battery cells to producing and recycling them. The site also has a high-voltage center where our specialists run extensive tests. The batteries have to perform under extreme conditions for days and weeks at a time before they are approved for use in cars. A pilot production line will start up in Salzgitter this year to help further expand our knowledge of production processes. It will play an important role in how we shape future developments and ensure performance, costs and quality.
Frank Blome with a battery cell at the high-voltage battery test centre In Wolfsburg: "Here our specialists run extensive tests."
Raw materials are a critical issue in battery production. Can you ensure that no human rights are violated in mining and extracting these materials?
We insist that all of our suppliers ensure humane mining conditions – and we check to make sure they comply with our agreements. We don't want to profit in any way from child or forced labor. Upholding human rights is an integral part of Volkswagen AG's sustainability requirements. All of our suppliers are also required to have their subcontractors agree to meet the environmental, social and compliance standards.
Cobalt is considered an especially problematic raw material. How do you handle it?
We use only industrially mined cobalt for our batteries. Companies that buy cobalt from illegal small mining operations are not accepted into our supply chain. We also join initiatives to uphold human and environmental rights. One example is the Responsible Minerals Initiative, which is developing a certification system for cobalt smelters. In addition, future generations of battery cells will have significantly less cobalt. That will help lower costs and increase energy density. Over the medium term, we will be reducing cobalt from the current level of 12 to 14 percent to below five percent. It's also conceivable that there will one day be batteries without any cobalt at all.
The Volkswagen Group is planning a major e-mobility campaign with nearly 70 electric car models and a correspondingly high need for batteries. What role are partnerships playing here?
For our next MEB models we're currently working with three partners as strategic suppliers of battery cells. They are LG Chem and SKI for Europe, and CATL for China. SKI will also supply our battery cells for the US market. In addition, we have recently joined with European partners to form the European Battery Union, which will promote battery research throughout Europe. This new consortium will cover the entire battery value chain, and joint research is expected to begin in early 2020. The primary aim is to gain broader expertise in battery cell production.

Trudeau Taking Heat for Invoking Emergency Act to Freeze Protester's Assets
Vitaliy Holovin/shutterstock.com
Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, has taken a lot of heat from several civil liberties groups and other politicians for invoking emergency powers to stop the protests from the Freedom Convoy against the country's COVID-19 restrictions. The protests have caused some traffic issues in several cities and at the border. But the Canadian Civil Liberties Association has said that the protests do not meet the criteria for Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act.
"The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation 'seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada' & when the situation 'cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada. Governments regularly deal with difficult situations and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties," the Canadian Civil Liberties Association wrote on Twitter.
Trudeau used Canada's Emergencies Act so that the federal government could use broad powers to tow away vehicles and keep essential services running. They can also freeze the personal and corporate bank accounts of those who are protesting. The government will aim at their livelihoods and their sources of financial support.
Chrystia Freeland, Canada's Deputy Prime Minister, told the Freedom Convoy participants to consider themselves warned. She said that if a truck is used in the blockades, the corporate account of that vehicle will be frozen and the insurance of the truck will be suspended. She told the protesters to send their trucks home.
Some liberal groups have approved the measure from Trudeau, but others have condemned it as government overreach.
A politics professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Lori Williams, said that there is a danger that this move by the Canadian government could create more problems than before. She said that it should have been done with the cooperation of premiers and if they did not want it, the government should step back. Williams believes that any action has to be targeted and restrained because of the kind of powers that would be implemented.
An assistant professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, Leah West, said that the federal government should consult with provinces and Cabinet before they assume that the convoy has risen to the level of a national emergency. She questioned whether the security of Canada is threatened by largely non-violent protests and said that the nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity are not at risk.
Francios Legault, Quebec's Premier, believes that invoking the act risks adding oil to the fire and will polarize the people of Canada. He said that local authorities in the provinces have the situation under control.
"I was very clear with the Prime Minister that the federal emergency act must not apply in Quebec. I think we don't need it. I think that at this moment it would not help the social climate. There's a lot of pressure right now and I think we have to be careful. So it's about time we put all Quebecers together. But I can understand that enough is enough in Ottawa. You can protest but you cannot do what they are doing for two weeks," Legault said.
Heather Stefanson, the Manitoba Premier, believes that the effects and signals that come from the act will not be constructive in her province. She believes that caution should be taken against overreach so that there are no unintended consequences. The Emergency Act, which has never been used in Canada before, should only be considered on a "measured and proportional" basis where it is truly needed, Stefanson said.
Tamara Leach, the organizer of the Freedom Convoy, said that protesters will "hold the line" against any government action.
Many in the United States are standing with the convoy protesters.


Looking for egg-free breakfast recipes for your Paleo or AIP lifestyle? Here's a big variety! All are free of eggs, gluten, grains, dairy and legumes.
While eggs from pasture raised hens are a super-food, some people need to remove them from the diet as part of an elimination trial (like on the Paleo autoimmune (AIP) protocol) or due to an allergy or sensitivity. Others just want to experiment with new foods for the kids.
The easiest egg-free breakfast idea is to simply eat your leftover lunch or dinner. That's what I do. But adding these will keep you from getting bored eating the same foods too often.
These egg-free paleo breakfast recipes below cover the spectrum from sweet to savory and raw to cooked, and use fresh healthy Paleo ingredients. Remember not to overdo it with the nut and seed-based recipes and try to make animal proteins and vegetables the bulk of your Paleo diet, or as I call it, the Diet For Human Beings (like my video of the same name). Enjoy!
