Home Sports	Bisons Make History
Bisons Make History
written by Dustin Schandevel December 7, 2017
The day was Sept. 17, 2017. Bisons first-year head coach Paul Simmons told his team the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Before the three men were thrown in the fire, they said God could save them from being burned alive. Even if God chose not to save them, they still would not bow down and worship other gods. The Bisons just fell to 0-3 the day before with a heartbreaking 27-28 loss to Southern Nazarene University that left the team feeling hopeless. Simmons wanted his men to see that God could still redeem their season, and even if they kept struggling, they would still honor God.
Fast forward to Sept. 19. The Bisons faced 95-degree heat as they hit the field for a long afternoon of practice. This was the biggest day of their season, Simmons said.
"I told the coaching staff that what happened today would be a big determining factor of what kind of men we have, because we're 0-3 and it's 95 degrees," Simmons said. "Whatever energy they come with is going to have to be intentional, and they're going to have to create some enthusiasm and honestly fake it. We weren't feeling any joy at that point."
Simmons was pleased with the results.
"They had the best practice of the year," Simmons said. "They were flying around the field and were encouraging each other. That said to me that they weren't giving in and were willing to stand and fight with me. That was the turning point."
Since that practice, the Bisons have had a perfect 11-0 record and won of their last three playoff games. They made history after defeating Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, last weekend on a last second 20-yard field goal by senior kicker Tristan Parsley which advanced them to the Division II National Semifinals. The Bisons were considered underdogs in all three of their playoff matchups as the three teams had a combined 33-2 record.
When a team wins 11 in a row, eight of those being road games, it shows that the athletes are doing all the right things to avoid falling back to their early season ways.
"It's been a case of the guys continuing to get better. They've refused to be complacent and satisfied with where they are," Simmons said. "We've improved in the areas that we did so poorly in through the first three games. You can't really point to one thing and say it has changed; it's just been a whole bunch of guys holding the rope and refusing to give in while loving each other."
The veteran team members on the roster are no strangers to winning streaks. Last year, the Bisons won 13 consecutive games before falling in the quarterfinals against Northwest Missouri State University. Junior wide receiver Kohl Blickenstaff said that this year's slow start has made this winning streak different.
"It's the 0-3 thing more than anything. I don't think we would be here if we would have lost three games sporadically," Blickenstaff said. "Starting 0-3 brought us together more than last year. Not to say that last year's team wasn't close, but when you're literally at the very bottom you have to come together."
One of the main reasons the Bisons crawled out from the bottom has been freshman running back Cole Chancey's performance throughout the season. Chancey has 1,239 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, six of those in the playoffs. He was a key factor in the win against Ashland University, where he scored four touchdowns. Simmons praised Chancey for his success and bravery on the field.
"Cole is a complete beast," Simmons said. "He has had as much to do with turning this season around as anybody. He's not afraid of anything. When I told him that he was doing a great job of running the football after the first quarter of the Ashland game, he told me that he had the 'big dog' by the throat. He's a warrior."
Chancey said that experiencing the win streak is something that will stay with him forever.
"Just to think that I was playing in the high school playoffs last year and am now competing for a national championship is never something I thought I'd be doing," Chancey said. "It's been a lifetime experience and something I'd never forget."
With the matchup against No. 2 seed Texas A&M Commerce looming tomorrow, the Bisons know that this game is their toughest yet. The Lions lead Division II in passing and have seven Division I transfers on the roster. Being underdogs once again, Simmons thinks anyone would be crazy to count his team out.
"When you put together a group of guys that have some talent but also have a tremendous love for each other and desire to honor God in how they're doing things, good things happen," Simmons said. "When you look back on what God has done this year, it would be really, really crazy to bet against us right now."
The game is set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in Commerce, Texas. It will air on ESPN 3 or the Watch ESPN app, as well as on KVHU 95.3. Texas A&M-Commerce has 500 seats reserved in their stadium for the Harding community. Tickets may be purchased on the Lion's website at wearelionstix.universitytickets.com. Harding is also having a tailgate from noon-1:30 p.m.
The student body is taking a bus that will leave from the student center at 7:30 a.m. to the game that has 58 spots total. The bus will return by 11:00 p.m. Saturday and the cost is $10 per person to ride and open to everyone. Email sa@harding.edu if interested.

CANADA: "After-Sales Service" - Companies Can Wring a Little More Out of their Warranties
BRAZIL: Immigration Reminder for FIFA 2014 World Cup
June-July 2014 marks the month that FIFA World Cup soccer championship will be hosted by Brazil. As one of the largest attended sports events in the world, it is important for not only tourists, spectators and workers connected to the World Cup to obtain their visas early, but also for companies and traditional business visitors and assignees to Brazil to plan their visas and/or their in-country immigration formalities now.
Special Visas for the World Cup
The Brazilian Government introduced priority processing and special waivers for persons applying for visas related to attending the World Cup or working in connection with the games. Tourists wishing to take advantage of expedited visa processing must show evidence of tickets issued by FIFA for qualified events (a "VITUR-TE" or "Spectator Visa"). For foreign correspondents (a "VITEM VI-TE") or private workers (a " VITEM V-TE") associated with setting up for the games or working as part of the games, special invitations or pre-approved work permits will be required from various Brazilian authorities, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Labor.
The Brazilian Consulate in Los Angeles offers a general summary of these special visas and their general requirements at the following: http://losangeles.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/temporary_special_visas.xml#general_req
As requirements and processing times may vary by consulate, readers are reminded that they should consult with the Brazilian consular post having jurisdiction over their legal place of residence.
Business Travelers and Assignees
As a general rule, application for visas during the traditional summer months in the Northern Hemisphere may take longer due to reduced staffing at consular posts and increase in holiday travel visas. In addition to World Cup visa applicants, certain Brazilian consular posts may become busier as the volume of normal holiday travel visa applications increase. For traditional business travelers, applying for a business visa (a "VITEM-II") in advance of June 2014 may avoid unexpected delays.
Brazil is also noted as being one of the more lengthy immigration processes for work permits and to conclude in-country immigration formalities.
While Brazil has introduced e-filing of certain work permit applications, the Ministry of Labor may still take at least 30 calendar days to process a work permit application and at least another five to ten business days for visa approvals to be forwarded to consular posts. After a work visa is issued, assignees must undergo a rather lengthy process in Brazil with the local Federal police for a residence number (RNE) and the application for a residence card (CIE). In addition, a Brazilian tax number (CPF) and, for certain workers, a Labor Card (CTPS) may be required.
Given the lead-up to the World Cup in May and early June, and national holiday mood of the host country, regularizing status in Brazil for assignees and families may experience significant and unforeseen delays.
For those attending the games or working in connection with the World Cup, initiating work/visa applications and filing with Brazilian consular posts will be key to getting visas issued by June 2014.
For traditional business visitors, purchasing refundable, round-trip airline tickets and proceeding with filing business visitor visa applications would also be best to do no later than early May 2014.
For companies wishing to relocate assignees and families to Brazil this summer, now is the time to coordinate with Brazilian HR on initiating the necessary pre-approvals. In addition, it is recommended to coordinate with your global immigration supplier and mobility suppliers the necessary immigration formalities that will be required to secure such things as Brazilian bank accounts, accommodations and the clearing household goods into Brazil during this extraordinary sporting event.

Scotland reaches Euros semis
Oct 10, 2020 | The Big Scores | 0 comments
Scotland, without a clutch of players after call-offs due to Covid-19 protocols and injury, are now on a six-game unbeaten run.
Scotland are one game away from their first major finals since 1998 after a nerve-shredding win on penalties against Israel at Hampden.
Kenny McLean scored the pivotal spot-kick in the depleted Scots' first ever shootout, with only a victory in Serbia on 12 November now separating Steve Clarke's men from Euro 2020.
It was a dull affair at an empty national stadium between two below-par teams, but five perfect penalties from the hosts have a nation daring to dream of reaching a long-awaited tournament.
Serbia lie in wait in the play-off finals after they defeated Norway 2-1 in extra time in Oslo. (BBC Sport)

Coaching Endorsements | ACADEMY OF CREATIVE HEALING ARTS - Be your greatest work of art!
"Susan has been my friend, fellow artist and co-worker as an occupational therapist for over 30 years. She has coached me and I have worked with her on several projects. We have worked together in helping people in recovery from strokes to express themselves in artwork, when other forms of expression have been impaired. Art has provided a powerful, healing vehicle for expression. We live far apart geographically now, but I can contact her by phone or email to connect on pressing health or other life concerns.
– Mary Ellen Meyer, MOT, Pittsburgh, PA.
"I have learned through reading David Essel's book The Power of Focus and in discussions with Susan, the importance of looking at oneself critically. This involves focusing on one's daily activities, done or not done, completed or not completed, to determine just what it is that is missing – all to better one's efforts to achieve a desired goal. The 'One Thing Theory' in The Power of Focus was very enlightening and made good sense, i.e. focus on ONE thing at a time to achieve one's goal. Susan coached me to give myself credit for a goal accomplished, even if I was unhappy with the outcome. And if I found myself being critical of my effort, to list what I LIKED about my drawing…….list what I DID NOT LIKE, and then list WHAT I WOULD CHANGE. These instructions allowed me to better assess my finished product, while opening up new ideas – all on my own!

Home / White Rose documents
White Rose - Leaflet 1
The first leaflet of the German anti-Nazi group the White Rose, produced in June 1942.
Nothing is so unworthy of a civilised nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest German is ashamed of his government.
Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes - crimes that infinitely outdistance every human measure - reach the light of day? If the German people are already so corrupted and spiritually crushed that they do not raise a hand, frivolously trusting in a questionable faith in lawful order of history; if they surrender man's highest principle, that which raises him above all other God's creatures, his free will; if they abandon the will to take decisive action and turn the wheel of history and thus subject it to their own rational decision; if they are so devoid of all individuality, have already gone so far along the road toward turning into a spiritless and cowardly mass - then, yes, they deserve their downfall. Goethe speaks of the Germans as a tragic people, like the Jews and the Greeks, but today it would appear rather that they are a spineless, will-less herd of hangers-on, who now - the marrow sucked out of their bones, robbed of their centre of stability - are waiting to be hounded to their destruction. So it seems - but it is not so. Rather, by means of gradual, treacherous, systematic abuse, the system has put every man into a spiritual prison. Only now, finding himself lying in fetters, has he become aware of his fate. Only a few recognised the threat of ruin, and the reward for their heroic warning was death. We will have more to say about the fate of these persons. If everyone waits until the other man makes a start, the messengers of avenging Nemesis will come steadily closer; then even the last victim will have been cast senselessly into the maw of the insatiable demon. Therefore every individual, conscious of his responsibility as a member of Christian and Western civilisation, must defend himself as best he can at this late hour, he must work against the scourges of mankind, against fascism and any similar system of totalitarianism. Offer passive resistance - resistance - wherever you may be, forestall the spread of this atheistic war machine before it is too late, before the last cities, like Cologne, have been reduced to rubble, and before the nation's last young man has given his blood on some battlefield for the hubris of a sub-human. Do not forget that every people deserves the regime it is willing to endure!
From Freidrich Schiller's The Lawgiving of Lycurgus and Solon:
Viewed in relation to its purposes, the law code of Lycurgus is a masterpiece of political science and knowledge of human nature. He desired a powerful, unassailable start, firmly established on its own principles. Political effectiveness and permanence were the goal toward which he strove, and he attained this goal to the full extent possible under possible under the circumstances. But if one compares the purpose Lycurgus had in view with the purposes of mankind, then a deep abhorrence takes the place of the approbation which we felt at first glance. Anything may be sacrificed to the good of the state except that end for which the State serves as a means. The state is never an end in itself; it is important only as a condition under which the purpose of mankind can be attained, and this purpose is none other than the development of all man's power, his progress and improvement. If a state prevents the development of the capacities which reside in man, if it interferes with the progress of the human spirit, then it is reprehensible and injurious, no matter how excellently devised, how perfect in its own way. Its very permanence in that case amounts more to a reproach than to a basis for fame; it be comes a prolonged evil, and the longer it endures, the more harmful it is....
At the price of all moral feeling a political system was set up, and the resources of the state were mobilised to that end. In Sparta there was no conjugal love, no mother love, no filial devotion, no friendship; all men were citizens only, and all virtue was civic virtue.
A law of the state made it the duty of Spartans to be inhumane to their slaves; in these unhappy victims of war humanity itself was insulted and mistreated. In the Spartan code of law the dangerous principle was promulgated that men are to be looked upon as means and not as ends - and the foundation of natural law and of morality were destroyed by that law....
What an admirable sight is afforded, by contrast, by the rough soldier Gaius Marcius in his camp before Rome, when he renounced vengeance and victory because he could not endure to see a mother's tears!...
The state [of Lycurgus] could endure only under the one condition: that the spirit of the people remained quiescent. Hence it could be maintained only if it failed to achieve the highest, the sole purpose of a state.
From Goethe's The Awakening of Epimenides, Act II, Scene 4.
SPIRITS:
Though he who has boldly risen from the abyss
Through an iron will and cunning
May conquer half the world,
Yet to the abyss he must return.
Already a terrible fear has seized him;
In vain he will resist!
And all who still stand with him
Must perish in his fall.
HOPE:
Now I find my good men
Are gathered in the night,
To wait in silence, not to sleep.
And the glorious word of liberty
They whisper and murmur,
Till in unaccustomed strangeness,
On the steps of our temple
Once again in delight they cry:
Freedom! Freedom!
Please make as many copies of this leaflet as you can and distribute them.

The last two weeks or so the weather has been very cold here in Belgium. The past couple of winters were rather warm but this year it's extremely cold. Media report it's been more than a decade since it was so cold in my country, last night monitoring stations in several cities recorded temperatures of below -20°C!


if you're able to manage paying the rent while not having to spend time massaging excel spreadsheets for hours on end, you can do something beneficial with your daily life. That is the reason why we're providing you with: 8 Best ways to Generate passive income as You Sleep.
As with every market which a great number of individuals wish to get into, the well-known sources of residual income have plenty of people stepping into all those markets therefore you can be expecting plenty of competition. Your ability to succeed will depend on whether you're able to jump the several boundaries to entry which will undoubtedly appear. Regrettably, jumping all those obstacles may (in the event that you are not careful) significantly decrease the "passive" aspect associated with passive income online. Initially, passive income may make for extended (sometimes much extended) working days compared to conventional income.
Once earnings are coming in, you might still have to evaluate important things and put in work to keep it going. The mind-set of somebody that is successful in passive income is not that of "get this finished and take a break." You will need the mind-set of an entrepreneur. Passive income usually begins with a substantial investment: if you purchase real-estate, it is a monetary investment.

The whole process of generating passive income on the web entails 3 choices: your niche, your target market and your business model.
As soon as you know these, you will be able to implement your business strategy, test it, and do it again till you have the income you would like.
For all the noise regarding passive income on the internet, the process is surprisingly straightforward.
Create a blog, market your blog, and then use it to promote affiliate offers. This can be undoubtedly the most effective established method to produce a source of residual passive income on the web. A good blog can be one of your most valuable assets when started affiliate marketing business.

Important: Read The Article on Affiliate Marketing Training for Bloggers.
One of the web's most popular business models. When you know roughly which kind of sector you would like to attract, build a free of charge product of information people will be able to download as long as they provide you with their email address. Now push traffic towards the "landing page" which will request the visitors' e-mail address. You may also set up plug-ins currently referred to as Squeeze pages which will pop-up with an e-mail register box whenever people view your site. This is a great method to grow subscribers along with a sales channel to market to.
Use an auto-responder such as Get response in order to e-mail your subscribers the link in order to obtain the product or high-quality information you are offering, and follow-up with a number of (automatically sent) e-mails. Distribute over several weeks and a few months, develop some sort of connection with your email subscribers and continue to market these people on a variety of products or affiliate promotions.
Customers are purchasing products on the internet at a substantial rate. This means there's a great number of consumers searching for just what you are able to provide them with.
Numerous people already have demonstrated that this is an excellent platform to market products online. Set up a webpage and then market it. Individuals pay you money. The item will get sent to them, as you sit back as the cash rolls in.
In case Shopify isn't what you like then you could always try out your fortune with ebay.com.
Several blog or website groups are usually more popular compared to others. These may possibly be monetized via sponsorship of a product, business logo or even mentions for the sponsor.
Try to look for a sponsor for those content articles which will often draw in the largest quantity of targeted visitors. The particular column may be branded or perhaps an advertisement can show up within a noticeable open space of the article. Simply identify that this article or announcement will be sponsored by "so and so", besides this being beneficial since you are being truthful with your visitors, additionally, it demonstrates various other potential advertisers that this being a profitable and efficient solution which you provide.
If you're able to locate a marketplace prepared to pay a substantial amount of money to get a service (such as writing or even design), along with a supply of manual work that delivers the appropriate quality for less money, you can arbitrage the 2. You will become the "middle man" or "the hook up".
Channel the pricey work to the cheap supply and then profit from the difference.
This is just like marketing an e-book, with the exception of the fact that you publish then sell the item on your own (typically) also it can appear in the form of an e-book, DVD, application, audiobook or even Video.
When marketing your own information product it enables one to maintain a greater portion of the profit. You have higher overall flexibility with upsells along with landing pages in contrast to marketing your products with a Third party website, and you may even use this to build up your list.
This will take a lot more traffic. To make money as you sleep, the site has to become self-sustaining not to mention self-maintaining, which usually is not the simplest thing to do, however is quite possible.
With enough targeted traffic the advertising passive income will become residual income. But maybe you should invest in PPC advertising.
You'll make money online as you sleep and also the dedication will in the end be worthwhile. A great way to view it is, inside the first couple of months you might be generating about $10 – $20 each day but as you continue and build new viral content your targeted traffic will certainly increase and therefore so will your earnings, you may even get to the point where you may be generating $100 each day, that's a brand new pair of shoes every day or perhaps a flight journey to a close by city of your choice each week.
For those who are prepared to put in the effort recognizing exactly what Multi-Level Marketing is. The issue with this particular method is the fact that it's not far from a pyramid scheme. Essentially, you are making income through registering individuals who market the product. A number of very reputable business people for instance Donald Trump are big on Multi-Level Marketing.


1. Give out any session notes from Unit 15 and the programme for today. Ask people how they're getting on with the assignment and if there are any major issues at the moment. Let them know that they will be working on it for a while during this session.
2. Also let people know that a major part of the session will be spent on reflecting on the experience of the course and the kind of impact that it has had for them in both their individual lives and their involvement in their community.
Use this session to help people with their assignment. You will need to check out how people would like to do this. Some people like to work in pairs - taking turns to talk out loud or show any written ideas for their assignment, and thinking through their ideas together. Others prefer to work alone for a while, and some might want individual help.
Try to work out a fair way of using this part of the session.
2. How you approach this is optional. Either hold a general discussion or use either the Time Line or H diagram methods (details of both are available from our website).
Remember having completed the general exercise give out Handout A for students to complete individually.

Porsche announces new 718 GTS 4.0 models
The Toyota GR Yaris premieres at Tokyo Auto Salon
Built with know-how gathered from the WRC, Toyota developed the Gazoo Racing Yaris together with Tommi Makinen Racing from the ground up to be a WRC winner.
13 Jan 2020 | International News : Japan
Toyota has premiered the new GR Yaris, a homologation model born to win the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
Three-door body ensures high rigidity as well as a low kerb weight for the car
Sales of the GR Yaris will commence in mid-2020, but Toyota has also began accepting online-only pre-orders in Japan for two special editions of the new model - the RZ 'First Edition' and the RZ 'High-performance First Edition'. Pre-orders will be accepted from 10 January to 30 June 2020.
Toyota developed the GR Yaris together with Tommi Makinen Racing from the ground up to be a WRC winner, as an original model of Toyota Gazoo Racing's sports car lineup.
The GR Yaris employs a four-wheel drive platform built on a Toyota New Global Architecture platform. Taking feedback from real WRC experiences, Toyota Gazoo Racing built the GR Yaris from scratch to achieve a high-rigidity body with refined balance while also optimising front and rear suspension geometry. The upper body of the car utilises aluminium for the hood, trunk lid, and door panels, and features a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic roof panel to keep the centre of gravity low. The three-door body also delivers excellent aerodynamic performance while keeping total weight low.
264bhp three-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission and Toyota's 'GR-FOUR' sports four-wheel drive system in the GR Yaris
The GR Yaris is available with a 1.6-litre three-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine. Extensive use of lightweight components as well as an optimised turbocharger and air intake and exhaust system allows the engine to achieve the world's highest output for a three-cylinder engine, with 264bhp, as well as 370Nm of torque.
Power is put to the road via a six-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission and a newly developed 'GR-FOUR' sports four-wheel drive system, which uses a multi-plate clutch to distribute driving force between the front and rear wheels with minimal frictional loss.
Production will be carried out on a dedicated production line at Toyota's Motomachi Plant, which has a long and solid track record of manufacturing sports cars, and Toyota is currently planning for assembly to only be carried out by team members which have achieved the rank of Master Craftsperson, or 'Takumi'.
The special-edition RZ 'First Edition', comes with a customised front grille, front side diffusers, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser, all finished in matte black. Additionally, the special-edition RZ 'High-performance First Edition' features high performance modifications including a Torsen limited-slip differential, an intercooler with cooling-spray function, and BBS forged aluminium wheels.

Fresh Flesh
Popobawa
During Raw Meat's recent antics at Southsea Festival, we stumbled upon the tropical three-piece, Popobawa.
Emily Pilbeam
These guys have the most peaceful and soothing sounds that when listening make you completely oblivious to everything going on around you. Check them out before they go viral. Popobawa consist of Ollie Hawkins (vocals, guitars, sampler), Sam McNeily (guitars, vocals, percussion, keys) and Steve Walker (drums, vocals). Admittedly, that sounds like they've got a lot going on but they still manage to sound so simplistic and so good. Answers are from Sam.
Raw Meat: Tell us about your local music scene; what's your favourite local venue, are there any record labels or stores that we should look up, what's the scene like where you're from?
Popobawa: Everyone in Portsmouth and Gosport seem to have their own sound and there isn't anything dominating the music scene. The Wedgewood Rooms is fun to play but there are lots of venues down Albert Road that are consistently putting on good nights. As for labels and stores, Pie and Vinyl is really worth checking out. It's run by a bunch of lovely people and is a nice place to visit… but they do owe us a pie each.
Name one track or band that you love from the past.
Ollie has this great Wurlitzer jukebox full of 7-inches from the fifties and sixties that we listen to, so from that I'll go with 'Tears of a Clown' by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Oh, and we love Creedence.
Name one track or band that you're loving right now.
I'm really enjoying the songs I've heard from Nick Allbrook's solo album.
Name one track or band that you think we should be listening out for in the future.
'Bamboo' by Deers is nice.
What are you up to now?
Currently, we're putting the final touches on a four-track EP; the mixing is almost done so we just need to get it mastered. We should be firing it into the ether within a month.
What can we expect from you next?
We don't know what to expect from ourselves really. We're hoping to play gigs in far-flung and exotic lands, like Southampton.
There's more than a little nostalgia in the power-psych of Fez. We asked them the all important questions just in time for the release of their latest single.
Krush Puppies
Krush Puppies' latest medieval-tinged murder ballad is a grubby, fuzzy attention-grabber.
Chappaqua Wrestling
Lockdown affects us all differently. Brighton's Chappaqua Wrestling were supposed to have their first 'big year' in 2020, we spoke to them about breaking out while staying in.

Калинин Константин Иванович (12 /24/ сентября 1859 г. — 3 /16/ октября 1916 г.) — генерал-майор, помощник начальника Бессарабского губернского жандармского управления на пограничном пункте в городе Измаиле, в Измаильском, Аккерманском и Бендерском уездах, начальника Казанского губернского жандармского управления в Казанском, Лаишевском и Чистопольском уездах, начальник Казанского губернского жандармского управления, инспектор полицейской стражи в Казанской губернии.

Биография

Происхождение, образование
К. И. Калинин происходил из дворян Черниговской губернии, православного вероисповедания. Сын полковника. Образование получил во Владимирской Киевской военной гимназии (впоследствии — кадетском корпусе) и в 3-ем военном Александровском училище в Москве (где обучался по второму разряду).

Военная служба, преподавательская деятельность
За время службы К. И. Калинин производился в следующие чины: нижний чин — с 13 (25) августа 1877 г., прапорщик — с 8 (20) августа 1879 г., подпоручик — с 3 (15) декабря 1879 г. (со старшинством с 6 /18/ октября 1879 г.), поручик — с 13 (25) апреля 1883 г. («за отличие по службе»), штабс-капитан — с 6 (18) мая 1886 г. (переименован в штабс-ротмистры 2 /14/ марта 1888 г.), ротмистр — с 30 августа (11 сентября) 1888 г., подполковник — с 26 февраля (10 марта) 1897 г., полковник — с 9 (22) января 1906 г.

В военных кампаниях, по состоянию на сентябрь 1911 г., не участвовал.

В службу К. И. Калинин вступил 13 (25) августа 1877 г. «юнкером рядового звания» в 3-ем военном Александровском училище, по окончании которого — 8 (20) августа 1879 г. — был произведён в прапорщики с переводом в 16-й пехотный Ладожский полк.

Здесь — с 29 сентября (11 октября) 1879 г. — он являлся исправляющим должность адъютанта, с 19 февраля (2 марта) 1880 г. — адъютантом 3-го батальона, а с 8 (20) июля 1880 г. — «заведующим в полку оружием». 11 (23) августа 1880 г. К. И. Калинин был командирован в учебный пехотный батальон, но затем — 30 сентября (12 октября) 1881 г. — вновь убыл в свой полк. 31 июля (12 августа) 1882 г. Высочайшим приказом он был переведён в Крымско-Татарскую стрелковую роту, 26 октября (7 ноября) 1882 г. — опять в 16-й пехотный Ладожский полк, где 2 (14) июля 1883 г. был назначен заведующим полковой учебной командой.

16 (28) апреля 1884 г. К. И. Калинина командировали в Варшавское пехотное юнкерское училище на должность младшего офицера, в котором 8 (20) марта 1885 г. он был назначен адъютантом и делопроизводителем по хозяйственной части. С 1 (13) июля 1884 г. по 1 (13) августа 1887 г. он также преподавал в нём военную топографию и ситуационное черчение и руководил производством юнкерами съёмок, будучи награждён за отличие в этом деле чином штабс-капитана.

Служба в жандармерии
Жандармская карьера К. И. Калинина началась 28 октября (9 ноября) 1887 г., когда он был прикомандирован к штабу Отдельного корпуса жандармов (ОКЖ) «для испытания по службе и перевода впоследствии в этот Корпус». 2 (14) марта 1888 г. К. И. Калинин был переведён в ОКЖ с переименованием в штабс-ротмистры, где на первое время — с 8 (20) марта 1888 г. — «оставлен прикомандированным по делам службы к Штабу Корпуса».

17 (29) мая 1888 г. приказом по ОКЖ он был назначен адъютантом Вологодского губернского жандармского управления, а 17 (29) августа 1890 г. — направлен в распоряжение начальника Виленского губернского жандармского управления.

13 (25) сентября 1891 г. приказом по ОКЖ К. И. Калинин был назначен помощником начальника Бессарабского губернского жандармского управления в Измаильском и Аккерманском уездах. Со 2 (14) апреля по 6 (18) августа 1899 г. он являлся исправляющим должность начальника данного управления. 5 (18) января 1901 г. К. И. Калинин был назначен помощником последнего на пограничном пункте в городе Измаиле, а 2 (15) августа 1902 г. — там же и в Измаильском, Аккерманском и Бендерском уездах.

Приказом по ОКЖ № 29 от 5 (18) марта 1904 г. К. И. Калинина назначили помощником начальника Казанского губернского жандармского управления (КГЖУ) в Казанском, Лаишевском и Чистопольском уездах.

Во главе КГЖУ
В Казани, куда он прибыл 15 (28) мая 1904 г., К. И. Калинину, пришлось исполнять обязанности не только помощника, но и начальника местного управления. Как явствует из послужных списков, он временно исправлял должность начальника КГЖУ со 2 (15) июня по 21 июля (3 августа) 1904 г., с 30 мая (12 июня) по 25 июня (8 августа) и с 1 (14) по 12 (25) июля 1905 г.

Через несколько дней после ликвидации последствий революционной смены власти в Казани — 30 октября (12 ноября) 1905 г. — подполковник К. И. Калинин был направлен в двухмесячную командировку в Санкт-Петербург, в штаб ОКЖ.

Приказом по ОКЖ № 177 от 16 (29) декабря 1905 г. он был назначен исправляющим должность начальника КГЖУ. При этом, тем же приказом, прежний начальник КГЖУ полковник П. С. Александров был отчислен от должности, с оставлением в ОКЖ и назначением начальником Плоцкого губернского жандармского управления.

В приказе по ОКЖ № 11 от 17 (29) января 1906 г. значилось, что, согласно Высочайшему приказу от 9 (22) января того же года, К. И. Калинин производится «за отличие по службе» из подполковников в полковники, с утверждением в занимаемой должности.

Историк И. Е. Алексеев отмечает:

На основании Высочайшего приказа по военному ведомству от 15 (28) апреля 1916 г. и соответствующего приказа по ОКЖ, К. И. Калинин был произведён «за отличие по службе» из полковников в генерал-майоры, о чём было объявлено в приказе по КГЖУ («по части строевой») № 96 от 1 (14) мая 1916 г.

Состоя в должности Начальника Казанского Губернского Жандармского Управления с 1905 года, то есть почти 8 лет, я смело и с гордостью могу доложить, что всё это время я твёрдо и строго преследовал ту святую цель, чтобы предупреждать, а не пресекать только преступления, и строго требовал этого от всех гг. офицеров, будучи сам чужд каких бы то ни было провокационных приёмов. Подобная система политического розыска и труда проходит хотя не показной шумихой, без всяких огласок, то есть выполняется тихо, скромно и незаметно для других, но зато выполняется честно, чисто и точно приводит к правильным продуктивным, благоприятным результатам, что так важно именно для искоренения революционной деятельности в столь бойком пункте России, как и город Казань.

Награды
К сентябрю 1911 г. К. И. Калинин был награждён орденами Святого Станислава 2-й (6 /19/ апреля 1903 г.) и 3-й (1 /13/ апреля 1890 г.) степеней, Святой Анны 2-й (22 апреля /5 мая/ 1907 г.) и 3-й (2 /14/ апреля 1895 г.) степеней, Святого Владимира 4-й степени (1910 г.), Офицерским крестом румынского «Ордена Звезды» (Высочайше разрешено принять и носить 4 /17/ июля 1903 г.), Командорским крестом болгарского ордена «За гражданские заслуги» (Высочайше разрешено принять и носить 28 июля /10 августа/ 1906 г.), серебряными медалями «В память царствования в Бозе почивающего Императора Александра III» — «на ленте ордена Св[ятого] Александра Невского» (16 /28/ февраля 1896 г.), «В память Священного Коронования Их Императорских Величеств» — «для ношения на груди на Андреевской ленте» (6 /18/ февраля 1898 г.) и медалью Красного Креста «В память русско-японской войны 1904—1905 гг.» (9 /22/ июля 1907 г.).

Кроме этого, приказом по войскам Варшавского военного округа № 45 от 29 мая (10 июня) 1887 г. ему было Высочайше разрешено принять и носить пожалованный 17 (29) мая того же года военный наградной знак Холмского Православного Свято-Богородицкого Братства 3-й степени.

Семья, дети
Известно, что к апрелю 1904 г. К. И. Калинин был женат вторым браком на уроженке Бессарабской губернии православного вероисповедания, вдове коллежского асессора Надежде Станиславовне Сатовской.

От первого брака он имел дочь Римму, родившуюся 15 (27) сентября 1892 г.

Адрес (по состоянию на 1916 г.): город Казань, улица Большая Красная, дом Боронина.

Кончина
20 сентября (3 октября) 1916 г. генерал-майор К. И. Калинин направил в штаб ОКЖ рапорт, начинавшийся словами: «Сего числа заболев, службу ЕГО ИМПЕРАТОРСКОГО ВЕЛИЧЕСТВА нести не могу». В нём же сообщалось, что временное исполнение должности начальника КГЖУ он передал своему помощнику в Тетюшском, Свияжском, Чебоксарском, Спасском, Козьмодемьянском и Ядринском уездах ротмистру Н. В. Кирсанову, приступившему к делам в тот же день.

Через две недели — 3 (16) октября 1916 г. — К. И. Калинин скончался, и в тот же день был исключён из списков КГЖУ.

Q: changing the font to bold when clicked - HTML PHP I have a list on my left menu on site like FAQ topics, and when click on it on the right side different text from MySQL db showing onclick.
When a list item is clicked on I want to change that items font setting to bold so that the user gets a visual indicator that it's been selected and that user know he is on specific FAQ topic. Is this possible?
You can is in code already have there onmousein and onmouseout effect done correctly there:

<?PHP

//Query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM faq_topics ORDER BY number ASC");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM faq_questions WHERE topicid='$row[id]' ORDER BY number ASC");

    echo '
' . $row['title'] . '
';
    echo '
';
    while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
    {
        echo '
' . $row1['title'] . '
';
    }
    echo '
';
}

?>

A: You could use the onclick event...
onclick="faqGet(\'' . $row1['id'] . '\'); this.style.fontWeight='bold';"

Although you will also need to unset the other items, so you may want to move the logic out of the element into a function. You could then loop over the list items and remove the styling, and then set the selected one.
Also, you might want to read up a bit on removing your JavaScript from your HTML, it is quite easy to do and will make your HTML easier to maintain.
My final point would be that if you made each FAQ a proper link, you could provide fallback behaviour for JavaScript fails, and also use CSS to style the current item...
a:focus { font-weight: bold; }

Another Example of Stupidity
It seems some are still hell bent on twisting historical accuracy, and making everything Southern, especially in regard to the Civil War, racist. This is beyond ridiculous. Now the inaccurate perception of the Confederacy has spread to California. It is unbelievably sad to me that people can't respect our ancestors and honor their graves. We have no concept of what life was like when they were alive, so it's wrong to classify their beliefs by today's standards.
CONFEDERATE MONUMENT DEFACED LAST MONTH HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM SANTA ANA CEMETERY
Alicia Robinson, August 1, 2019
A monument to Confederate soldiers who settled in and helped establish Orange County after the Civil War no longer stands at the Santa Ana Cemetery.
Erected in 2004 by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the 9-foot-tall granite structure – which had been vandalized with red paint and the word "racists" last month – was removed early Thursday, Aug. 1, Orange County Cemetery.
District General Manager Tim Deutsch said in a news release. The district operates three public cemeteries, including Santa Ana.
Hundreds of Civil War veterans are buried in Orange County, most of whom fought for the Union. A monument dedicated to "the unknown dead of the Civil War "was previously installed at the Santa Ana Cemetery by the Daughters of Union Veterans.
The Confederate monument removed Thursday may be the last one in Orange County and among only a few that were left in California. A February survey by the Southern Poverty Law Center listed a monument in Bakersfield and a highway marker in Siskiyou County, both honoring Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis, as the state's two remaining memorials.
Public attention settled on the Santa Ana monument in 2017, after a confrontation between groups of white supremacists and protesters ended in a woman's death in Charlottesville, Va. Cemetery district officials realized they couldn't find records to prove who owned the burial plots where the monument stands or that it was approved by the district's board, according to letters from Deutsch and an attorney for the district.
The district contacted the Orange County chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to discuss altering the monument per an agreement the two parties had apparently reached. But Deutsch said last month the Confederate group had not followed through
and had stopped responding to his inquiries, so the district's board ordered the monument removed.
Robert Williams, who leads the Orange County chapter and statewide division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, disputes the district's account of the monument saga.
Reached Thursday, Williams said district officials are motivated by "the most absurd kind of political correctness" and that there are plenty of records and people who were involved in putting up the monument. Cemetery district leaders at the time chose the monument's location, he said.
"Nobody put it there in the middle of the night – there was a huge public ceremony," Williams said.
The purpose of the monument was not political or for "extolling war, Confederate victories or Confederate generals," he added. He said the monument recognizes founding fathers prominent in establishing Orange County who had come to the area after fighting for the South.
The monument names 10 men and also commemorates "C.S.A," the Confederate States of America. Two panels are etched with the names of Davis and Gen. Robert E. Lee.
In the news release, Deutsch said the district wanted the monument out quickly because there's a shortage of burial plots, and it became "an unsightly public nuisance" after the vandalism. It's costing an estimated $15,000 to remove and store the granite pillar (a 100-foot crane was required because it weights several tons), so Williams' group would have to reimburse the district to get the monument back, the release said.
Williams said he believes the district's actions, seizing and removing private property, were illegal.
"We went out of our way to placate what sensitivities some may have about the Civil War," he said. "The county's going to have to answer, because they don't own that."

How disgusting. Santa Ana spits on it's own History. Last Friday was the 130th Anniversary of the founding of Orange County, and the Santa Ana Cemetery removed the Founders Monument in the middle of the night. Why you ask? Because the men were ex-Confederate Soldiers who traded swords for plows, and came out west looking for a better life than Reconstruction Era in Dixie offered. These men were all duly elected officials for the County of Los Angeles who formed OC by seceding the southern sections they represented from LA. These men worked with their Union Veteran counterparts to create what is now Orange County.
If you'd like to contact the Orange County Cemetery District and express your displeasure, they can be reached at 949-951-9102. Be respectful and no foul language!!!
Honor your Ancestors' good memory.
Deo Vindice.

Exactly. These crimes against our deceased veterans have got to stop.


The Surviving Sepsis Campaign has issued a new 1-hour bundle beginning at the time of triage in the emergency department. This replaces the current 3- and 6-hour bundles.
Although the 2016 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines state that "Recommendations from these guidelines cannot replace the clinician's decision-making capacity when presented with a patient's unique set of clinical variables," the regulatory reality is less deferential to your clinical acumen. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has adopted the 3- and 6-hour bundles as rigid core measures, which severely impact hospital reimbursement. Just as you may be getting used to the current bundles, you may want to read the 1-hour bundle summary below as this will likely be the new CMS standard.
Patient checked in 45 minutes ago. You have 15 minutes remaining.
The following bundle should be initiated within 1 hour of ED triage. The published document implies that the bundle is intended for patients with sepsis or septic shock using the Sepsis-3 definition.
Measure lactate level. If lactate > 2 mmol/L, re-measure within 2-4 hours.
Apply vasopressors if the patient is hypotensive during or after fluid resuscitation to maintain MAP >/= 65 mmHg.
Instead of re-organizing the bundles using data, three authors justify their move by stating that, "we believe this reflects the clinical reality at the bedside of these seriously ill patients." However, all three authors are non-emergency physicians and demonstrate little understanding of the clinical reality in the emergency department.
1. Behind from the start - Getting SOFA labs (Sepsis-3 definition) back in time for the 1-hour bundle will be nearly impossible. Simpler scoring systems exist, but the false positive rate will be high. Will every case of likely strep throat or flu get a slug of empiric piperacillin-tazobactam in the waiting room just because they are SIRS positive based on triage vitals?
2. Low quality evidence - The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) admits to shoving mostly low quality evidence into its guidelines. Just take a look at its summary below.
3. Observational data - The SSC pats itself on the back for the success of bundles based largely on observational data from the New York experience—even though it showed no benefit to faster administration of IV fluid. A RCT in Lancet showed no benefit to prehospital antibiotics.
4. Everybody else is doing it - Despite the admitted paucity of data on optimal IV fluid volume and rate, the SSC says we should give a 30 ml/kg crystalloid bolus because that's what recent landmark studies in ProCESS, ARISE, and PROMISE have shown to be usual care for the average patient. For example, ARISE patients received 34.7 +/- 20.1 ml/kg of crystalloid during the initial resuscitation period. The SSC argues that since the average patient is getting 30 ml/kg of crystalloid, every patient should therefore get at least the average. It's somewhat analogous to how everybody thinks they're a better-than-average driver. That's just statistical nonsense, since not every patient should receive the average fluid volume.
5. Read the fine print - The guidelines emphasize that it's better to give antibiotics than to delay blood cultures. However, we all know that's not true. If you read the fine print of the government mandate, fail this measure and you fail it all.
This new 1-hour bundle has started a firestorm in the #FOAMed world. Listen to Scott Weingart rant and read Josh Farkas explain his discontent. Then sign the petition to dismantle the Surviving Sepsis Campaign if you agree. Or read about what some of our critical care colleagues think at PulmCCM.


Stratolaunch, the massive aircraft dreamed up by the late Paul Allen, flew for the first time on Saturday, becoming the largest plane by wingspan ever to take to the skies.
Larger than Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose - which flew only once, in 1947- Stratolaunch lifted off from the Mojave Air and Space Port in the California desert and stayed aloft for 2.5 hours, company officials said, hitting an altitude of 17,000 feet (5,000 metres) and a maximum speed of 189 mph (304 km/h).
The plane is a behemoth, with a twin fuselage, 28 wheels, six 747 jet engines and a wingspan longer than a football field, end zones included.
"We finally did it," Jean Floyd, Stratolaunch's chief executive, said in a call with reporters. He said it was inspiring "to see Paul Allen's dream come to life."
But Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, died in October, leaving the future of the plane and the company behind it in doubt. Company officials did not take questions from reporters and did not address the future of the venture in a news release.
Since Allen's death, the company has dramatically scaled back operations and laid off dozens of employees.
From the beginning, Allen's dream was to use the plane to help make getting satellites, and possibly people, into space more affordable and accessible.
Built by Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, Stratolaunch was designed to carry as many as three rockets tethered to its belly into the skies; the rockets would then drop, ignite and shoot off into space with their payloads.
Allen was fascinated with the capabilities of small satellites, how they could help keep tabs on Earth's environment, and thought "air-launching" rockets, as the process is called, could help usher in a new era of spaceflight.
"The capabilities of these small satellites is something that's really interesting and fascinating," he said. "Both for communications, where a lot of people are putting up constellations of satellites, and for monitoring the challenged health of the planet."
By launching rockets from the belly of a plane, instead of vertically from a launch site, the company hoped to reduce the cost of space missions. It's also the model used by Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, which has developed a space plane capable of taking people to the edge of space. Virgin Orbit, another Branson-backed venture, is also working to launch rockets from a plane.
The Pentagon, which is looking to become more responsive in space, had also taken an interest in Stratolaunch. Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson visited the plane, as did Vice President Pence, the head of the National Space Council.
The company was even thinking about human spaceflight and had preliminary plans to develop a mini space shuttle called "Black Ice."
But for now all those plans appear to be on hold.
Allen, a space enthusiast for much of his life, funded the development of the space plane that won the US$10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004 by becoming the first nongovernmental vehicle to pass the threshold in space.
At the time, however, the risks of human spaceflight worried him, and he decided to get out of the business. In 2011, though, he was back, announcing his plans to build the world's largest airplane.
"You have a certain number of dreams in your life you want to fulfill," he said at the time. "And this is a dream I'm very excited about."

Federal Reserve Preview: Look To The Projections For Guidance As Powell May Keep Lips Tight
TOPICS:Fed communicationsFed guidanceFederal Reserve previewUS yield curve
Chair Jerome Powell
Posted By: The Corner 17th March 2021
Monex Europe | The March 17th FOMC meeting is likely to be one of the most important for Chair Powell in his tenure at the helm of the central bank, with many drawing comparisons with the task presented to his predecessor Bernanke back in 2013. However, despite its level of importance, the meeting doesn't require a decision on policy measures by the FOMC beyond what they wish to do with the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) relief. Instead, the challenge is one of communications. Since the January meeting, the US yield curve has substantially steepened with the 10-year yield rising some 60bps to trade above the 1.6% handle. While most of the rise in back-end yields can be attributed to rising inflation expectations, real yields began to increase in late February along with expectations of rate hikes.
Thus far, Fed officials have only given market participants glimpses of their stance on the rising and steepening of the yield curve. Meanwhile, markets are trying to price the reflationary environment under the Fed's new Average Inflation Target (AIT), with little guidance as to what the parameters surrounding it truly are – how much is inflation allowed to overshoot 2%, how long is the averaging period, what is "substantial progress" in the labour market recovery?
Considering the developments since the January meeting, namely the $1.9trn fiscal stimulus package and rapid rate of vaccinations in the US, the emphasis is now on the Fed to give fixed income markets a bit more of a playbook. Without doing so, it risks a severe misunderstanding of the Fed's new AIT and a premature tightening of financial conditions. We argue that the Summary of Economic Projections will be the best place for markets to look for guidance, with Jerome Powell likely to refrain from giving away too much in the press conference in order to maintain monetary policy flexibility. The signal cast by the Fed will not only give fixed income markets a more tangible understanding of the Fed's reaction function, but will also be deterministic for the broad dollar in the months to come. Currencies like AUD and EUR remain vulnerable to a net hawkish meeting given the recent decisions by their central banks to increase QE and contain the rise in rates, while EM FX will feel the pinch of any bond market volatility.
Look to the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) to gauge the Fed's reaction function
FOMC communications since the January meeting have been mixed. At a time when other DM central banks are becoming more active in the bond market to try and offset the impact rising yields have on their domestic recoveries, Chair Powell's attitude has been more laissez- faire. Not only does this contrast with that of the European Central Bank, Reserve Bank of Australia, and to some extent the Bank of Canada, it also contrasts with comments by Fed Governor Brainard who cast a much more concerned tone when speaking on March 2nd.
However, other areas of the meeting like the SEP and the decision on the expiration of SLR relief is likely to give markets a sense of the Fed's reaction function.
Firstly, the SEP will include fresh rate projections by FOMC members. When coupled with inflation expectations, the two sets of forecasts will provide at least a rough measure of what the inflationary overshoot needs to look like before lift-off can occur.
The dots will provide much more than this, however. Given the economic outlook has improved substantially since the December meeting, the median rate forecast may now show a rate hike expected in 2023. Only 5 members expected a rate hike in 2023 back in December's SEP. This would be net hawkish for markets and would likely confirm the recent pricing seen in OIS, which now prices in a 25bps hike in the 2-3 year horizon. Headlines on this development will likely provide the dollar with another leg of support. However, should there be a lack of movement in the median expectation, the SEP will cast a dovish signal to markets, which should temper the recent rise in real rates and weigh on the dollar.
With the December meeting minutes stating that the tapering of the QE programme will follow that seen in 2013-14, markets can expect the Fed to begin easing its purchases at least a year prior to the lift-off in rates. On top of this, the Fed has also highlighted its appetite to signal the tapering of asset purchases in advance of the fact.
Taken together, a median forecast of rate lift-off in 2023 could send the message to markets that QE tapering will be announced as early as the second half of this year – a net hawkish decision.
Secondly, the Fed's decision on the expiration of SLR relief will provide markets with a gauge of how sensitive the Fed is to the rise in yields. By letting the SLR expire on March 31st without a replacement programme, the US central bank runs the risk of a further bond market sell-off and steepening in the US yield curve. By doing so, it would send out a net hawkish signal to markets, with bond market turmoil and higher US nominal rates supporting the greenback. However, if the Fed's decisions don't provide the implicit answers to the market's questions on inflation and yield curve tolerance, the central bank can expect elevated bond market volatility around the release of key data metrics as the market continues to price in its economic outlook in the dark.

In 2014, we saw beautiful ripening with lovely physiological maturity due to a warmer than "normal" vintage. Cultural practices such as leaf stripping, shoot thinning and green harvesting worked to perfection. Clone 4 and Clone 6 cabernet sauvignon, two clones of petit verdot and three clones of syrah were thinned to one or two clusters per shoot to insure evenly ripened fruit. The average yield was approaching 3 tons per acre. Our efforts toward sustainable wine growing begun in 2004 are clearly improving the grapes and wine from Woodward Canyon Estate Vineyard.
This wine has enticing aromas of Asian spice, black olive, tobacco and sweet oak that integrate beautifully with generous black fruit. An elegant but firm mouth feel begins with black current/cassis leading towards notes of toffee and mocha that is exotic, generous and long. The wine shows great proportion and is quite stylish for a wine so young. This is clearly a wine made from a warm vintage. While one could enjoy this wine now it will benefit greatly from additional cellaring and should continue to develop for eight to ten years with proper storage.
Woodward Canyon Estate Vineyard, Certified Sustainable by IOBC via LIVE. Additionally the vineyard and resulting wine is also certified as Salmon Safe.
All grapes were harvested by hand and sorted prior to crushing. This red wine was fermented in very small 2000 liter stainless steel tanks and was gently punched down two times per day. After pressing and settling, this wine went directly to French chateau barrels for additional aging and maturation.

Favre in PSA urges parents of children under 14 not to let them play tackle football

In a new PSA, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brett Favre urges parents of children under 14 not to play tackle football.
In the PSA, which is in partnership with the Concussion Legacy Foundation, the Hall of Famer explained that children should play flag football to reduce the risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
According to the Mayo Clinic, CTE is a progressive brain condition likely caused by repeated head traumas.
The PSA explains that the odds of developing CTE doubles every additional three years they play tackle football.
"A football player's odds of developing CTE may be most determined by their parents, specifically what age the child is allowed to start playing tackle football," said Chris Nowinski, Ph.D., Concussion Legacy Foundation co-founder and CEO, a former All-Ivy League defensive tackle at Harvard University, in a press release. "It's time to accept that CTE is not just a risk for professional and college football players, but also for high school players, and the best way to prevent CTE among football players is to delay the introduction of tackle football to reduce the number of years played."
According to the foundation, research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs – Boston University – Concussion Legacy Foundation Brain Bank found that out of 65 high school football players – who never played in college or professionally – 16 of them have CTE.
The experts added that 15 of those 16 players began playing tackle football before they were 14, the foundation said.
In a 2019 Brain Bank study of 266 deceased football players, experts found that the odds of players developing CTE may increase by 30% per year they play tackle football.
"Having kids play tackle football before high school is just not worth the risk," said Favre, who played 19 seasons in the NFL in the PSA. "CTE is a terrible disease, and we need to do everything we can to prevent it for the next generation of football players."


Just before Thanksgiving I made pillow covers from ticking fabric. I added vintage images to the front of these pillows by printing the images onto creamy white duckcloth fabric. They turned out really cute, you can check them out here. I also made 4 solid pillow covers out of the creamy white duckcloth fabric to coordinate with the ticking pillows. Today I decided to turn two of those solid pillow covers into Valentines Day pillows.
I cut out a large X and O.
Next I centered them on top of the pillow covers and pinned them in place before sewing them on. I used white thread because I thought it would add a little character.
The O pillow cover can actually be used beyond Valentines day if you are an Ohio Buckeyes fan. My husband is a Penn State Alumni and he doesn't like it. Oh well, they still make a cute pair for Valentines Day.
I'm not keeping these for myself - they are going in my Etsy shop.
Thanks Sherri - like minds loving the red!
Thank you so much Crystelle!
These are to stinking cute and just in time for Valentines day. Love them girl. I just added you to my follow list, love a fellow cabin liver.
Thanks Dawn! I love your vintage style in your cabin and I was waiting to ee the bedroom!!!! I guess I'll have to get on the ball and do a few posts about the inside of our cabin.
