Cross-country Terry Fox exhibit explores numismatic legacy
The 2005 $1 commemorative circulation coin featuring Terry Fox was the Royal Canadian Mint's first circulation coin to feature a Canadian.
A cross-country exhibit exploring the legacy of Canadian hero Terry Fox began its stop in Fox's hometown of Port Coquitlam, B.C. earlier this month.
The national exhibit, "Terry Fox: Running to the Heart of Canada," will be at Port Coquitlam's PoCo Heritage museum until Nov. 28. Curated by the Canadian Museum of History and the Terry Fox Centre, the exhibition begins by looking at Fox's legacy through the coins, stamps and passports that bear his image. It's running alongside a complementary exhibit created by PoCo Heritage called "Hometown Legacy," which includes "more locally focused content."
"The response to these exhibits has been very positive," said museum co-ordinator Kelly Brown, who organized the exhibition with volunteer Steve Smith. "We have had many people comment on what an inspiration Terry is and how they are so happy to have an exhibit honouring him open in his hometown of Port Coquitlam."
'WHO WAS TERRY FOX?'
The exhibit poses a question – "Who was Terry Fox?" – before offering an inspiring answer using an array of contemporary photographs, newspaper images and maps. The exhibit also tells the story of Fox's Marathon of Hope, including sections showing a day-in-the-life of the run; the iconic Marathon of Hope T-shirts; the cards and letters sent to Fox by Canadians; the marathon's heartbreaking conclusion; and Fox's ongoing legacy.
"I believe Terry's continued presence in the lives of Canadians speaks to the continued importance of his legacy today," said Brown. "For many, Terry is a hero who embodies many virtues – courage and bravery, determination, resilience in the face of adversity, hopefulness, and compassion. I think Terry's legacy speaks to so many Canadians because I believe these are all qualities that we value and want to embody."
MARATHON OF HOPE
On April 12, 1980, Fox – who had already lost his right leg to cancer – dipped his artificial limb in the Atlantic Ocean. This began his 5,373-kilometre Marathon of Hope, a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research.
"I think that Terry Fox's legacy has become a very valuable part of Canadian life. The extent of his legacy can be seen in the vast number of ways in which not only the people of Canada but the Government of Canada keep his name and his vision alive in Canada today," said Brown.
"There are countless streets, buildings, parks and statues dedicated to Terry all over the country, and of course the annual Terry Fox Runs are still hosted everywhere. In addition, celebrations of Canada also seem to include Terry Fox such as the recently released Canada 150 commemorative stamps which include Terry Fox as an example of courage and compassion, and the Terry Fox Award given to athletes who embodied Terry's values of determination and humility during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics."

TERRY FOX LOONIE
In 2005, the Royal Canadian Mint issued a commemorative circulation coin honouring the 25th anniversary of Fox's Marathon of Hope. Designed by Stan Witten, the coin has a weight of seven grams; a diameter of 26.50 mm; and a mintage of 20,000 pieces. It was the Mint's first circulation coin to depict a Canadian.

Yet another cool collab, TV! I've been hearing this one lately the chat shows here. Great vocal harmonies and of course JR's shred skills. Awesome job!
This was a very fun project starting with some fine music by Kit. Joseph Rodriguez put the entire track together and shredded some awesome lead guitar. I worked up the lyrics and my sis and I did our vocal thing and as always had a good time working on it. I'd do a collab with any of these fine people anytime! Thanks for making us a part of it.
I knew this had to be a good one when I read the musical credits. Well done TV, Kit and Joseph!
Sounding great but how could it not with all my favorite musicians in it!
Thanks again Kitmann, Bill & Jacky, Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with you who have so much talent.
And thanks you all for those comments,really appreciated!
Def classic rock sounds great guys!!!
Great collab! Really get that '70s rock vibe with this. Well done on al counts folks, well done indeed!
Thank you so very much for working with me on this project you guys. I just love working with you, your sister and Joseph. To see a dream of a song come forward is Gold. Again thank you brother.
You guys knock my socks off that I don't even wear!
Listening to this with the lyrics and TV's vocals creates such strong emotions. I like how Joseph's guitar gives it this classic rock vibe. Though I am from the class of '73 this resonates deeply.

Delhi HC Collegium sends additional names for judge appointments to SC
The High Court of Delhi, which has been operating at half its sanctioned strength for over a year, has begun the process of recruiting more justices. According to the news agency after a lengthy discussion over many candidates, the HC Collegium has proposed 8 names from the subordinate judiciary to the Apex Court for elevation.
The most recent suggestions were issued nearly a year after the Supreme Court rejected the HC's six choices from last year. The Supreme Court had refused to appoint the six district judges to the HC and had returned their names for "reconsideration" for a variety of reasons, including the fact that some of the senior judges had been bypassed.
Since then, the collegium has been reviewing applicants in the zone of consideration for elevation to the higher post in order to select judges from the district judiciary, also known as the "service quota." It has now finalized eight candidates for Supreme Court approval and subsequently Central government approval. Poonam Bamba, Yashwant Kumar, and Neena Bansal Krishna are among them. Dinesh Kumar Sharma, Anoop L Mendiratta, Rajiv Mehra, Swaran Kanta Sharma, and Sudhir Kumar Jain are all District Judges, with the exception of Mehra.


In Texas, the prize goes to agriculture.
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, people are getting ready for the biggest sporting event of the year.
According to the Texas Farm Bureau's Julie Tomascik, Texas agriculture is a big player in the Super Bowl.
Footballs: They're made from leather. And Texas leads the nation in cattle numbers, with nearly 11 million head.
Peanuts: The Lone Star State grows more than 423 million pounds of this popular snack. That's a lot of nuts!
Land: A football field, including the end zones, takes up a pretty big chunk of land. About 1.3 acres. To compare, Texas is home to more than 130 million acres of farmland. That's about 100 million football fields.
Chicken wings. Super Bowl weekend is unquestionably the biggest time of year for wings. Texas grows more than 100 million chickens each year, ranking sixth in the nation.
Cotton. Texas is a major cotton state. And 3.5 million bales of cotton were produced in 2011. Need a Super Bowl XLIX championship shirt? They're made from cotton!
Peanuts are favorite snack for those watching the big game. They are just one of the things that Texas farmers bank on during football season.

Steve Chapman: AIG and Our Embarrassing Congress
Townhall ^ | March 22, 2009 | Steve Chapman
Posted on 03/22/2009 7:31:39 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Congress is outraged. Really, really outraged. Unbelievably, incredibly outraged. And there are certainly grounds for anger.
Not at the insurance company AIG, which paid bonuses that are seen as intolerable, but at Congress, which blithely declined to prohibit them but is now shocked to find AIG doing what it was allowed to do. The Democrats who control Capitol Hill want revenge, as do many Republicans. So the House voted by a 328-93 margin to impose a 90 percent tax on the payments.
In doing so, members resolutely avoided a couple of inconvenient realities. The first is that the fault, if any, lies with the same people who are now angry. The second is that the tax conflicts with the clear intent of the Constitution.
The pending fees were not exactly classified information. "AIG's plans to pay hundreds of millions of dollars were publicized last fall, when Congress started asking questions about expensive junkets the company had sponsored," reports the Associated Press. "A November SEC filing by the company details $469 million in 'retention payments' to keep prized employees."
In January, two House members urged the Federal Reserve and the Treasury to block such bonuses. Last month, the Senate passed an amendment outlawing such payments by companies getting federal bailout funds -- and then dropped it.
The White House was also in the loop. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) says that the administration asked him to attach a provision to the stimulus bill that authorized such bonuses. Dodd protests that he only agreed because he didn't understand what the measure would do.
Maybe other people who voted for it in the Senate and House didn't either. Maybe Dodd and the rest ought to read legislation before they approve it.
But if members had any pangs of remorse for their failure, they stifled them in favor of vilifying AIG and its personnel. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank demanded the names of employees who "had to be bribed not to abandon the company." Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) urged that they be fired.
Until these staffers can be publicly tarred and feathered, though, the House will settle for subjecting their bonuses to a 90 percent tax levy -- up from the normal maximum rate of 35 percent. Why not 100 percent? "State and local governments will take the extra 10 percent," said Ways and Means Committee chairman Charles Rangel.
So the bill aims at sanctioning supposedly bad people by confiscating their earnings. As such, it sounds an awful lot like something the Constitution expressly forbids -- a bill of attainder, which is a punishment of particular individuals imposed not by a court of law but by a legislative body.
Many if not most legal scholars believe this furious retribution can be structured to pass judicial review. But not Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor. "I am not so confident that it would pass constitutional muster," he told me. "While courts give Congress great discretion in the tax area, this would require a case of willful blindness."
Turley speaks with special authority on the subject because of a rare achievement: In 2003, he persuaded a federal appeals court that a law passed by Congress was a bill of attainder.
That statute revoked a divorced father's visitation rights because his ex-wife claimed he had molested his daughter -- a charge that courts repeatedly rejected. But it was overturned because the court found the measure, though it didn't name him, was designed to place a severe burden on a specific person deemed to have done something terrible.
Ditto for this legislation. It's aimed at AIG employees who accepted payments guaranteed them by a legal contract, and it's intended to inflict pain to express disapproval of their conduct. Rangel, in fact, had earlier opposed the tax because it would be "punitive." But after voting for it, he explained that "we had very few weapons" to use against the recipients. Taxation as a weapon -- if that's not punitive, what is?
To uphold the tax, says Turley, "the courts would have to ignore the open statements of members of Congress. They have done everything short of burning the AIG executives in effigy on the House floor."
Maybe the people in Congress are smart enough to figure out a way to sneak this act of targeted revenge past the courts. Maybe, in other words, they have more brains than scruples. But so far, they haven't shown much of either.

Do you think he'll be able to use class envy to get his dictatorial laws passed giving him even more control of industry? If these 90% taxes aren't overturned by the courts, our constitution is now just a rag, good only for buffing Charlie Rangel's new Cadillac, which you and I paid for.

Congress seems very concerned about 5% of the People. It's these 5% who pay 90% of the taxes in this country. If they would tax the bonuses at 100%, they'd be representing 100% of the people instead of only 5%.

That decision is Foretich v. United States (D.C. Cir., 2003). In the Democrats minds that case isn't applicable, because it dealt with a law passed by a Republican controlled Congress. Obviously, the federal courts know that the Constitution doesn't bind Democratic Congresses. [/sarc]

First it has only past in the House. The Senate needs to do its tweaking. And, the dOpey-One has to sign it. So, there is a lot that can change before it makes it to the courts. But, there will be a lot of pontification by Congress for the numskulls that elected the majority. As one of the minority I take no responsibility, I'm just getting the shaft.
What I find most objectionable is the broad stroke that there is no one who deserves a bonus. There are executives that made bad decisions and there some that preformed well. These are big companies that do many things, some of them competently. In the grand scheme of things you win a few and you lose a few, but, you hope to keep going forward.

Across Systems, based in Karlsbad, Germany, and Glendale, California, is the manufacturer of the Across Language Server, an independent technology for the linguistic supply chain. Across Systems, originally a division of Nero AG, was incorporated as Across Systems GmbH in Karlsbad, Germany, in late 2005.
The translation management software provides Computer-assisted translation and includes a Translation memory, a Terminology management system, and project management and translation workflow control tools. It enables customers, agencies, and translators to work seamlessly on the basis of the same data. Open interfaces enable direct integration of corresponding systems like CMS, PIM, or ERP solutions.
Clients include Volkswagen  , Wilcox Metrology, Siemens and SMA Solar Technology, among others.
The core Across product is the Across Language Server, which serves as a central platform for all language resources and translation processes within a company. It provides a singular work environment where all project management functionality, knowledge resources, and personnel, both internal and outsourced, are integrated seamlessly in a continuous, linguistic supply chain. This open architecture platform facilitates integration of customer-specific systems as well as corresponding systems, such as authoring, machine translation or quality assurance and proofing.
The Across Language Server makes language resources and translation processes an integral part of the enterprise IT. It is used for project management and translation of texts such as manuals, marketing documents, Web pages, software GUIs, and online help texts. All parties involved – project managers, internal translators, editors, external localization service providers and freelancers – work in the same embedded community, and therefore have access to the same reference data and translation memory system, and project managers can track status of each project. This consistency of data is designed to increase the quality of documents, enable faster turnaround on translation of materials, and provide productivity increases and cost savings.
Across is the only major language tools technology provider whose core business is software development. The system is available in the form of a conventional purchased license or, alternatively, as a hosted service based on the ASP or SaaS model. Across software products are sold directly through the company's own direct sales representatives, and, to a lesser extent, through authorized partners. Across Systems holds trademark rights for the base products and the most important individual components in Europe, the USA, and Japan.
Across Systems works with multinational enterprise clients and localization service providers, in multiple industries, including companies and organizations that create content and order translations, translation agencies that organize and handle translations on behalf of customers, and freelance translators who do the actual translation work. Across Systems supplies the translation management software but does not have a service bureau that does the translation, therefore it does not compete with its localization service provider customers.

You may have noticed the message from Terry Ruhl regarding TBG employees with more than 40 years at CH2M HILL. I am fortunate to be one of those people. I have seen the firm grow from 700 people to more than 25,000, and our Transportation business grow from $12 million/yr to $1 billion/yr. Along the way, I had the good fortune to meet each of the company founders: Cornell, Howland, Hayes, Merryfield, and Hill. I learned a lot from them, as well as many other great mentors and leaders, and I distilled their collective wisdom in the "the single best piece of advice..." section of Terry's message. This advice has served me well over the years, and I would suggest that operating along these lines will lead to a more interesting, productive, and rewarding professional career for those that follow.
"Always be honest and ethical. Always be a good business person. Always be a professional. Always do good high quality work. Always give the client more than they expect. Always fight to win. Always hire people smarter than you. Always be one step ahead. Always finish one thing each day. Always win more work than you can do. Always take pride in improving the quality of life for the community. Always take care of your family. Always take the hit and protect your people. Always remember that results trump process. Always wear cheap sunglasses."
"Never see limits. Never ever give up. Never give in to a client demand when you know it is wrong. Never back down from bigger competitors. Never apologize for being fairly paid for the value you provide. Never position for personal gain at the expense of the firm. Never ask someone to do something that you wouldn't do yourself. Never forget that it is a small industry and you will see the same people in different roles over the years. Never take credit for the work of others. Never forget to smile. Never think that you are indispensable."


The Financial Services Council has welcomed the passing of the Financial Services Legislation Amendment Bill through Parliament as a 'landmark moment' for the New Zealand financial services industry.
The Bill passed through Parliament last week (see: FSLAB Passed…).
"FSLAB has been a long time coming and when it comes into force will represent a sea change in New Zealand's financial advice regime", says FSC Chief Executive, Richard Klipin.
Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister, Kris Faafoi, says the Bill is an important first step in the Government's work to tackle the types of issues raised by recent reviews into the banking and insurance sectors in New Zealand and Australia.
"I'll soon be considering changes that might be needed to the broader conduct of financial institutions, and will be consulting on options in May this year," said Faafoi.
Klipin noted that getting good advice is the key to financial security for Kiwis and that the Bill will deliver the legislative foundation necessary to ensure a world class financial advice regime.

Housing benefit cuts linked to 10% rise in mental health problems
September 13, 2016 - Updated on January 30, 2018
Photo credit: madamepsychosis via photopin cc
UK Government cuts to housing benefit have led to a 10% rise in mental health problems among private sector tenants, according to new research from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), University of Oxford and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
In April 2011, the coalition government reduced the amount private renters can receive in Local Housing Allowance (LHA) from 50% of average local rents to just 30%.
A cap was also placed on the maximum amount an individual can claim in LHA each week, similar to 'bedroom tax' for social housing tenants: £250 per week for one bedroom, £290 per week for two, £340 for three and £400 for four or more bedrooms.
The Institute of Fiscal Studies estimate the average loss to be £1,220 per year, affecting about 1.35 million individuals. The changes could also plunge between 27,000-54,000 children into severe poverty.
[contextly_sidebar id="he9tF2IBtwjBkzxOlVbkDa6yu6l0UUmO"]The experiences of 179,000 private renter were documented by researchers over a four-year period (2009-13), some of which were in receipt of LHA, and reveals how Government changes to LHA have impacted on low-income households.
A subsequent report reveals that approximately 20% of people receiving housing benefit were known to be experiencing depression in March 2010. However, researchers found that since 1 April 2011, when changes to LHA came into force, the number of people reporting symptoms of depression had increased by 10% to reach 26,000.
The report highlights how welfare changes can lead to greater insecurity, potential homelessness and an increase in mental health problems; which in turn may counter-act government attempts to reduce the number of people in receipt of sickness and disability benefits.
Private sector tenants in areas where the level of LHA was cut the most such as inner London and Tyne & Wear, reported the largest increases in mental health problems. In many cases, symptoms of depression continued for up to 24 months after the changes to LHA were introduced.
Researchers also argue that government plans to remove eligibility for housing benefit from young people aged 18-21 risks damaging their mental health, which could also have a long-term impact on their chances in the labour market.
Aaron Reeves, Associate Professorial Research Fellow in Poverty and Inequality at LSE's International Inequality Institute and lead author of the report, said: "Housing provides shelter and security, protecting health and well-being. But when that security becomes uncertain, health, and mental health in particular, is undermined.
"The government's reduction in housing benefit in April 2011 created uncertainty in the lives of some low-income by making their housing less affordable. This reduction in financial support increased the risk of depressive symptoms among those claiming housing benefit over and above other people in the private rented sector."
Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, added: "At a time when the NHS, and the mental health service in particular, is facing unprecedented pressure, and when NHS leaders are highlighting the need to reduce preventable illness, it is incredible that other government policies are adding to that pressure".

The insanity intensifies in new trailer for SYFY's Channel Zero: No-End House

Tag: Trailers
After last week's terrifying teaser, a fresh and freaky full trailer for SYFY's horror anthology series, Channel Zero: No-End House, has just arrived to set your weekend on edge.
Similar to the debut season of Candle Cove, with its nightmarish puppets, this new supernatural outing is based on an internet Creepypasta story, The No-End House, by Brian Russell. The diabolical domain in the title refers to a legendary paranormal house and its challenging architecture of six psychosis-inducing rooms.
Amy Forsyth stars as Margot Sleator, a young college student who dares to explore the confines of the notorious residence and its individual rooms of hellish horrors. American Horror Story: Freak Show's John Carroll Lynch (Twisty) co-stars, with director Steven Piet (Uncle John) captaining this demonic diversion for all six episodes.
Step inside this unreal realm of the No-End House and tell us if you'll accept its invitation when it premieres on SYFY on Sept. 20.

Q: how to integrate webpack with the existing react project I have a react project and I want to bundle it using webpack. I have set up the entry, output, path, and filename etc,. But, doing so, when I am running the project I get the following errors. How can I solve this.

There might be a problem with the project dependency tree. It is
  likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix
  locally.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a
  dependency:
"webpack": "4.42.0"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it
  automatically. However, a different version of webpack was detected
  higher up in the tree:
C:\Users\gowtham\Desktop\task\node_modules\webpack (version: 4.42.1)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause
  hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add
  SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project. That will
  permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.
To fix the dependency tree, try following the steps below in the exact
  order:

*

*Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.

*Delete node_modules in your project folder.

*Remove "webpack" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in the package.json file in your project folder.

*Run npm install or yarn, depending on the package manager you use.

  In most cases, this should be enough to fix the problem. If this has
  not helped, there are a few other things you can try:

*If you used npm, install yarn (http://yarnpkg.com/) and repeat the above steps with it instead.
   This may help because npm has known issues with package hoisting which may get resolved in future versions.

*Check if C:\Users\gowtham\Desktop\task\node_modules\webpack is outside your project directory.
   For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.

*Try running npm ls webpack in your project folder.
   This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed webpack.
If nothing else helps, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file
  in your project. That would permanently disable this preflight check
  in case you want to proceed anyway.
P.S. We know this message is long but please read the steps above :-)
  We hope you find them helpful!

The Fairchild AC-119G Shadow and AC-119K Stinger were developed during the Vietnam War. They replaced the inadequate AC-47 Spooky and supplemented the newer AC-130. Contrary to popular belief, the AC-119 program (Project Gunship III) came after the AC-130, not before.
By late 1967, the idea of the fixed-wing gunship had been proven so successful that the United States Air Force was having a difficult time keeping up with demand. The newer AC-130s that had been created under Project Gunship II were effective, but were being mostly used for interdiction of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Furthermore, the C-130 airframe was in active service as a transport, vital to the war effort in South East Asia. The Air Force desperately needed a new gunship to replace the vulnerable and underpowered AC-47 in supporting "Troops In Contact" (known as TIC), as well as, supplementing the AC-130 in attacking targets on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The C-119 Flying Boxcar presented an obvious choice, having been phased out of frontline service in favor of the C-123 and C-130, and with the stock of available airframes in U.S. Air Force Reserve being great. In February 1968, under the USAF program Project Gunship III, 26 C-119Gs were converted to AC-119G standard, taking on the name Shadow. These aircraft were primarily intended to replace the AC-47 in the TIC role. In addition, Fairchild-Hiller, which was contracted for all the conversions, converted 26 C-119Ks into AC-119Ks primarily for the "truck hunter" role over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. These aircraft were called Stingers primarily in reference to the two M61 20 mm cannons they carried in addition to the AC-119G's four GAU-2/A miniguns.
By November 1968, the aircraft had deployed to Vietnam and joined the 14th Special Operations Wing at Nha Trang. The AC-119Gs were formed into the 17th Special Operations Squadron, and the AC-119Ks into the 18th Special Operations Squadron. With the addition of the two types the 14th SOW for a time in 1968 was flying eight different aircraft from 10 different bases in South Vietnam. The 14th SOW was deactivated in 1971. Limited numbers continued to be operated out of Hurlburt Field, Florida as late as the fall of 1972, but the AC-119 was shortly phased out of the U.S. Air Force. The AC-119G and -K continued to serve in extremely small numbers with the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVNAF) until the defacto reunification of the country in 1975.
Project Gunship III, being a follow on to the success programs surrounding the AC-130 series, meant that the AC-119 was a far more advanced aircraft in both its iterations than the AC-47. Even the TIC AC-119G featured some of the most up to date ECM and radar equipment, as well as cruder technology including an AVQ-8 Xenon light, a Night Observation Sight (NOS), and a LAU-74/A flare launcher.
The AC-119K, designed to hit trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail was significantly more advanced. Included in the conversion was the AN/APN-147 Doppler Navigation radar, AN/AAD-4 Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), AN/APQ-133 side-looking beacon tracking radar, and AN/APQ-136 search radar.
The armament scheme for both aircraft was significantly simpler than that of the AC-130. The AC-119G had a total of 4 GAU-2A/A miniguns in SUU-11A/A pods, all on mounts similar to those used on early AC-47s. Like late model AC-47s, these were soon changed to the purpose built MXU-470/A minigun modules. The AC-119K, needing a more powerful and longer range punch to take out vehicles, featured 2 M61 20 mm cannons in addition to the 4 Miniguns of the AC-119G.

Edwin Brigham
Jeremy Drouin
Missouri Valley Special Collections
Patrons at the Helping Hand Institute, 1930s. Courtesy of the Missouri Valley Special Collections.
In October 1894 in the midst of a nationwide depression, Edwin Brigham, a 20-year old printer from Kirksville, Missouri, stepped off a train in Kansas City hoping to find work. Little did he know that this would mark the beginning of a 52-year career in social service helping thousands of homeless men and women in Kansas City.
Edwin Terry Brigham, "Terry" to his close friends, was born on February 12, 1874. He was the fourth of seven children born to Theodore Brigham and Sarah Frances Terry, both of whom instilled in their children Christian values and a devotion to charitable work. Edwin learned the printing trade in Kirksville, Missouri, but greater opportunity for employment brought him to Kansas City in 1894. There he found temporary work with the Charles J. Brown Printing Company and shortly thereafter a permanent job as a typesetter for the Daily Drovers' Telegram.
Edwin spent his evenings volunteering at the Helping Hand Institute. Housed in a former saloon at 4th and Main, the institute provided food, lodging, and work for homeless and destitute men on the city's North End. The organization was established in September 1894 by a Methodist minister, Reverend Banner E. Shawhan, whom Brigham had first met in Kirksville and contacted upon his arrival in Kansas City.
Edwin found his true calling while volunteering at Helping Hand. He managed a small print shop in the basement of the institute and was later given the title of assistant superintendent. In his new position, Brigham was charged with soliciting contributions from local business professionals; he set a personal goal of meeting with at least ten people per day, sharing the mission of Helping Hand. One of his early pledges was from William Volker, a picture frame wholesaler who would become one of Kansas City's most highly regarded businessmen and philanthropists. The two men formed a close relationship, and Edwin would call on his friend throughout the years for financial support of the organization.
In 1898, Brigham was appointed superintendent after The Rev. Mr. Shawhan unexpectedly left Kansas City. That same year he married Bessie May Sheets of Paris, Illinois. Like Edwin, Bessie had devoted her life to helping others. She moved to Kansas City in 1897 after reading about the work of Helping Hand in a newspaper. She would serve with her husband for over 20 years as assistant superintendent of the organization and also helped form the Council of Social Agencies. Under the Brighams' leadership, Helping Hand grew to become one of the largest missions of its kind in Kansas City.
Edwin Brigham remained superintendent of Helping Hand until his death from a heart attack on July 5, 1950. Bessie May Brigham had died four years earlier. The Brighams left behind two sons, Ralph and Lawrence, as well as a legacy of generosity and service towards Kansas City's homeless. The Helping Hand Institute consolidated with Goodwill Industries of Greater Kansas City, Inc. in 1978 and later reorganized as The Helping Hand of Goodwill Industries.

In this landmark book, Stuart Macintyre explains how a country traumatised by the First World War, hammered by the Depression and overstretched by World War II became a prosperous, successful and growing society by the 1950s. An extraordinary group of individuals, notably John Curtin, Ben Chifley, Nugget Coombs, John Dedman and Robert Menzies, re-made the country, planning its reconstruction against a background of wartime sacrifice and austerity. The other part of this triumphant story shows Australia on the world stage, seeking to fashion a new world order that would bring peace and prosperity.
This book shows the 1940s to be a pivotal decade in Australia. At the height of his powers, Macintyre reminds us that key components of the society we take for granted – work, welfare, health, education, immigration, housing – are not the result of military endeavour but policy, planning, politics and popular resolve.

An Analysis of the Literary Dependency of Desire of Ages, chapter 5

Paragraphs 19, 20 (analysis of pp. 327, 328 of White Lie)
There wasn't a lot of bold italics to remove here, but we did remove it from " 'made known abroad' " in Hanna, and from the Scripture quotation in both White and Hanna about a sword piercing Mary. In the latter instance, the similarity in wording between the two was artificially accentuated by Rea when he changed the original sources by bolding and italicizing these words.
Desire of Ages (1898)
Ellen G. White, p. 56 The Life of Christ, (1863)
William Hanna, pp. 37, 38 Scripture
Yet Mary did not understand Christ's mission. Simeon had prophesied of Him as a light to lighten the Gentiles, as well as a glory to Israel. Thus the angels had announced the Saviour's birth as tidings of joy to all peoples. God was seeking to correct the narrow, Jewish conception of the Messiah's work. He desired men to behold Him, not merely as the deliverer of Israel, but as the Redeemer of the world. But many years must pass before even the mother of Jesus would understand His mission.
Mary looked forward to the Messiah's reign on David's throne, but she saw not the baptism of suffering by which it must be won. Through Simeon it is revealed that the Messiah is to have no unobstructed passage through the world. In the words to Mary, "A sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,"21 God in His tender mercy gives to the mother of Jesus an intimation of the anguish that already for His sake she had begun to bear.
[The preceding 60% of this paragraph was used by Rea in the comparison for paragraph 13.] Joseph and Mary stood lost in wonder. How has this stranger come to see aught uncommon in this child; how come to see in him the salvation of Israel? Have some stray tidings of his birth come into the holy city from the hill country of Judea, or has the wondrous tale the shepherds of Bethlehem "made known abroad," been repeated in this old man's hearing? What he says is in curious harmony with all the angel had announced to Mary and to the shepherds about the child, and yet there is a difference; for now, for the first time, is it distinctly declared that this child shall be a light to lighten the Gentiles; nay, his being such a light is placed even before his being the glory of Israel. Has Simeon had a separate revelation made to him from heaven,and is this an independent and fuller testimony borne to the Messiahship of Jesus?
[Rea skips here to the next paragraph, an entire half a page, to page 38.]
From all Mary had yet heard, she might have imagined that her child would be welcomed by all Israel—so soon as the day for his revelation came—as its long-looked for deliverer; and that a career of unsuffering triumph would lie before him—a career in whose honors and bliss she could scarcely help at times imagining that she should have a share. But now, for the first time, the indication is clearly given that all Israel was not to hail her child and welcome him as its Messiah; that hostility was to spring up even within the ranks of the chosen people; that he was to be a "sign which should be spoken against;" or rather—for such is the more literal rendering of the words—a butt or mark at which many shafts or javelins should be launched. Nor was Mary herself to escape. Among the many swords or darts levelled at his breast, one was to reach hers: "Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also."21 Strange that in the very centre of so broad and comprehensive a prophecy concerning Christ, such a minute and personal allusion to Mary should come in; a high honor put upon the mother of our Lord that her individual sorrows of her Son; and a singular token of the tender sympathy of Him by whom it was prompted, that now when her heart was filling with strange, bright hopes, now while her child was yet an infant, now ere the evil days drew on, when she should have to see him become the object of reproach and persecution, and stand herself to look at him upon that cross of shame and agony on which they hung him up to die—that now to temper her first-born joy, to prepare and fortify her for the bitter trials in store for her, this prophecy should have been thus early spoken.
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. (Luke 2:32)
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. (Luke 2:35)
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. (Luke 1:78)
Observations: In this comparison we find for the first time Rea clipping material from the middle of a sentence without using an ellipsis.
Interestingly, Hanna says that Simeon said something that the angel didn't tell the shepherds: Christ came for the Gentiles too. Hanna explicitly says that through Simeon "for the first time, is it distinctly declared that this child shall be a light to lighten the Gentiles." However, Ellen White disagrees with him on this point. She wrote that Simeon's message was the same as when "the angels had announced the Saviour's birth as tidings of joy to all peoples." Thus, she didn't plagiarize this portion from Hanna.
Ellen White's quotation does not end with a period, but Hannah's does. However, Rea's clipping of this period makes White's wording appear slightly more like Hannah's.

/scratch and /data are back online and we are now accepting new jobs.
We were never able to get the maintenance command to run successfully, but we were able to verify (with IBM's assistance) the integrity of /scratch and /data, which is great news and means we will not need to take another scheduled downtime in the near future.
We apologize for the delay but we are still working with IBM to try to salvage some useful information from the failed command so that it can be diagnosed and fixed. If they cannot come up with anything by the end of the day (6-8pm tonight), we will give up and attempt to bring /scratch and /data back online tonight.
/scratch and /data are still offline this morning but we are aiming to have them online before lunchtime. Please read below for more details.
Long story short, a GPFS maintenance command we were attempting to run this weekend to ensure the continued integrity and reliability of /scratch and /data failed to complete successfully. We worked with IBM support engineers throughout the weekend to run this command in multiple different ways, but the command ultimately failed in all cases, and in one case took down /home in the process of failing. It appears we have hit some sort of edge case bug within GPFS that is triggering this failure. We are running this command one last time this morning with tracing enabled, with the hope that this will provide IBM with the information they need to fix the bug we are hitting. We will need to take yet another scheduled downtime in the not-so-distance future to attempt the process again once the bug has been fixed by IBM and we have deployed the fix on our GPFS software.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We're frustrated, as I'm sure many of you are. We have plans this Winter/Spring to move to a newer version of GPFS (version 5) that promises better performance and reliability. This will also be run with a new storage appliance that has a very large amount of cache space for better performance.
Please let us know if you have questions or concerns via our helpdesk. We will send another update once /scratch and /data are online again.
We plan on performing maintenance on /scratch and /data on Saturday, Feb 9 beginning at 8am. Due to the size of /scratch and /data, this maintenance will likely last through Sunday and potentially spill over to Monday. Please plan to be without access to data on /scratch or /data for at least Feb 9-10 and copy data off that you need access to during that time. Jobs accessing /scratch or /data during this maintenance will be impacted.
The maintenance work on /home is complete and we have resumed compute nodes to run jobs once again. Thank you for your patience as we performed this critical work.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns via our helpdesk.
This Saturday (Jan 26) beginning at 8am we will be performing emergency maintenance on /home. We expect the maintenance to last through Saturday afternoon or evening sometime. During this time, /home will be inaccessible, and jobs attempting I/O to or from /home will be impacted. Jobs accessing /scratch, /data, or /dors will not be impacted. No new jobs will run during the maintenance. Please migrate data off of /home if you wish to retain access to the data on Saturday.
We apologize for the late notice, but this is important work that is necessary to maintain the performance and reliability of /home.
We will send a notice on Saturday afternoon or evening when /home is available again.

COVID vaccine likely by Feb, 30 crore Indians to be priority beneficiaries
A total of 30 crore priority beneficiaries will get vaccine dose in the initial phase that too for free. Aadhaar will be used to track the beneficiaries, but it won't be mandatory
4:06 PM, 7 November, 2020 Updated 4:35 PM, 7 November, 2020
Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca, however, have claimed there are no pork products in their vaccines
Now that we know the Covid vaccine is likely to be available after February next year, the curiosity is to know who gets the shot first. Even the Union Ministry of Health has made it clear that considering the long list of priority beneficiaries, the time by when the whole country gets the immunity shots would be at least a year from the first vaccination schedule.
Bharat Biotech aims to launch its vaccine — Covaxin — in February. The Union government is busy preparing the vaccine delivery procedure, including identifying the priority groups that will be administered the vaccine first and at no cost.
Union health minister Harsh Vardhan said that a total of 30 crore priority beneficiaries will get vaccine doses in the initial phase that too for free. All states have been asked to prepare their own priority beneficiary lists and submit to the Union Health Ministry by mid-November.
Four priority categories identified so far: –
1. One crore healthcare professionals: Doctors, nurses, ASHA workers and MBBS students.
2. Two crore frontline workers: Municipal workers, police and armed forces.
3. Twenty-six crore people aged above 50.
4. One crore special category people, which includes those below 50 but with co-morbidities.
To avoid duplication of doses or malpractices, the beneficiaries will be required to provide Aadhaar number. Just in case a person doesn't have an Aadhaar card, any government photo identity will be acceptable.
Where would the vaccines be available?
Anganwadi centres, schools, panchayat buildings and other such setups would be used in addition to healthcare facilities for anti-coronavirus inoculation drive. The entire process will be monitored by the Union Health Ministry's digital platform. To maintain complete transparency, the government will send SMSes to recipients informing the time, date and venue to get the shots and digitally connect them and also track them via QR code.
The state governments are identifying buildings which can be used as vaccination booths. Besides, healthcare facilities like hospitals, the state governments will use anganwadi centres, schools, panchayat buildings and other such setups.
The Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN) system provides real-time information on vaccine stocks and storage temperatures across all cold chain points (28,000 so far) in the country under the UIP.
COVAXIN Developer Bharat Biotech To Invest Rs 300 Crore To Set Up Facility In Odisha To Produce 10 Types Of Vaccineshttps://t.co/zvMF99CqNo via @swarajyamag

The prime minister, during a review meeting last month, had suggested making use of the experience of the successful conduct of elections and disaster management, for developing the vaccine delivery and distribution system, involving the participation of states/UTs/district-level functionaries, civil society organisations, volunteers, citizens, and experts from all necessary domains.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan had said in October that the Centre expects to receive and utilise 40-50 crore doses of COVID-19 vaccine by July next year.

Caseload in India and abroad
The number of new daily infections in the country crossed the 50,000 mark yet again on Friday, but the recoveries remained higher, almost 54,000, leading to a further decline in the active cases, which have come down to just about 5.16 lakh now.
Delhi recorded 7,178 of them. Experts say that the capital is experiencing the third wave which is likely to be more severe than the first two. In the last four days, Delhi has reported more than 6,000 cases a day.
During the first wave, Delhi had contributed the maximum number of cases in the country on June 23 — 3,947 new infections. At that time, Delhi's total caseload was around 70,000, the second highest in the country after Maharashtra, which had been reporting about 4,000 new cases every day. In the second and third weeks of June, Delhi's daily new detections used to be second only to Maharashtra.
The caseload of Delhi had come down steadily after the June 23 peak, and for over a month, Delhi had progressively reported fewer number of infections. It was believed that the spread of the disease had been controlled in the national capital. Since then, Delhi has seen two more peaks, each higher than the previous one.
Meanwhile, the United States became the first country to record more than one lakh cases in a single day. The World Health Organisation said the United States reported 1.06 lakh cases on Friday, taking its total number of confirmed cases to over 93.87 lakh. India was expected to cross the one lakh daily mark, when it had started reporting more than 90,000 cases every day in the second week of September. India peaked at just under 98,000 cases at that time. Since then the number of cases has been declining steadily in India. Now, even France reports more cases than India on some days.

New year brings a ray of hope as COVID crisis continues to ease


"This is way good," my fiancé and I unintentionally said to each other after taking one bite from our fried mac and cheese balls from Way Good Food Truck. Yes, the mobile eatery's name is a bit pretentious and forefront in describing its food, but you can't blame a food service for being proud of its products, can you?
Way Good Food Truck held its grand opening on Friday, May 14, and has set up shop daily since then at the corner of West Alabama Ice House, inviting customers to grab some greasy, indulgent food and sit down at one of the many picnic tables outside. Ice cold beer, plus burgers, nachos and fries, make for one heck of a combination.
After creating their catering company, Way Good Food, LLC in October 2013, sisters Karen and Kathryn Fergus took over the Greek gyro food truck Papou Jerry's and turned it into Way Good Food in December 2013. Karen is the chef and Kathryn is the director of marketing and operations. They refurbished the truck and turned it into the bright-blue mobile eatery that sits on the corner of West Alabama Ice House seven days a week.
The new food truck chose an excellent spot to serve hungry customers. As patrons flood into West Alabama Ice House on a Saturday afternoon or weekday night, they're going to want something to soak up all the beer and booze. Way Good Food offers a variety of small bites like seasoned fries, stuffed jalapeños with cream cheese and bacon, and spicy buffalo chicken wings; the truck also serves larger items, like a potato chip-coated fried chicken breast sandwich, and a cheeseburger with a variety of toppings from bacon and blue cheese to jalapeños and guacamole.
It's greasy, comfort food you must pair with a beer.
After seeing multiple posts on Twitter and Facebook about the fried mac and cheese balls, I knew I had to try these during my first visit to the truck. The fried balls are nearly the size of a tennis ball, and two come in each order, with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. The exterior is thick and crispy, and encases the creamy and gooey macaroni and cheese. One bite and the filling comes spilling out -- it's a bit of a messy snack. On their own, the balls remind me of baked mac 'n cheese topped with crunchy breadcrumbs, but when you dip each piece into the marinara sauce, it's like eating mozzarella sticks, if mozzarella sticks contained pasta.
Despite their being incredibly tasty and successfully satisfying my junk food cravings (even though I felt quite guilty afterward), they're a bit overpriced. Five dollars for two mac and cheese balls is a bit much, especially when larger items like burgers and nachos are just $2 more.
Speaking of nachos, the brisket nachos are hands-down one of the best items on the truck's menu. And there's enough to split with another person. Oily, fried chips are topped with shredded pieces of brisket, pinto beans, queso, sour cream, guacamole and a generous amount of jalapeños. In fact, there's a generous amount of each topping evenly distributed throughout the nachos. The brisket is juicy, salty and amazing on its own; the guacamole and sour cream help combat the spiciness of the jalapeños, while the queso ties everything together nicely. The pinto beans add a little extra goodness to the nachos. You can substitute the chips for fries, too.
Unfortunately, during my visit the truck was out of the house-made toffee, but the next time I go back (which I will), I'll be sure to get the sole dessert on the menu, and those brisket nachos again. I can't get enough of those chips.


Nice quality and they look great in my work agenda.
Fun, simply gorgeous and great quality.
excellent quality. fast shipping and too easy to use. I need to buy some more. LOL!
Lovely stickers, and shipped super quick!
Such cute stickers! I'm using them to remind me to clean the coffee machine.
My home office. This is where I do all of my creative work.
Printed paper goes in, stickers come out!
I've been an avid collector of stickers since I was very young. I would buy and collect stickers from night markets and stationery stores with whatever pocket money I had. It isn't just stickers; I'm obsessed with pretty stationery as well. I've been collecting cute erasers, pencils, notebooks, etc since I was 7!
As for planners, I've been using notebooks as planners since I was in primary school. In high school, I read about high-flying career women carrying Filofaxes around and knew that I had to get one. Well, that was until I found out how much one cost back then! In uni, I bit the bullet and bought my very first Filofax. It was a black personal-sized Metropol. My planner addiction started growing from there to more Filofaxes. That was until I stumbled upon the world of Kikki K and Erin Condren Life Planners. The rest, as they say after seeing my collection of planners, is history.
Before Closet Planner Addict came about, I've always been fascinated with how stickers were made. I bought so much over the years and thought it was high time I learned how they were made. When I bought a Silhouette Cameo machine, I didn't expect this little hobby of printing stickers for myself would turn into an actual store on Etsy!
Learning to get the perfect cut right for stickers on paper took a while to master and many, many papers later, I finally did it. Sourcing for the right kind of adhesive paper was hard too as I wanted high-quality paper with a satin finish. After discovering many lemons, I'm so relieved and happy to have found the right ones I wanted.
The planning community on Facebook is absolutely fantastic. The camaraderie amongst planner addicts is amazing and everyone is so supportive and helpful. I wouldn't have taken the step to launch Closet Planner Addict if it wasn't for them.
- I collect heaps of stickers that I don't actually use. A lot of them are too pretty!
- I had my first ring planner in college. Before that, I used small weekly diaries that were gifts with purchases handed down by my parents.
- I don't like using ball-point pens. It's rollerball and gel pens for me all the way! Oh, and they must be as fine-tipped as possible.
- I prefer to use a regular pencil than a mechanical one.
- I recently got into the adult colouring craze and my best friend gave me a set of 72 Derwent colour pencils for my birthday. It was the most extravagant colour pencils I've ever laid my eyes on.
- Dangerous shops for me to step into are Kikki K, Daiso and Officeworks because I rarely leave these stores without buying something.
- The ultimate planner I hope to get one day: the Hermes Globe-Trotter. At the time of writing, it's AU$985.00 so, erm, I've got a looooooong way to go.
So welcome to Closet Planner Addict. I hope you like the stickers, printables and planning paraphernalia I have to offer as much as I've enjoyed making them for you.
And thank you for making my sticker-making dream come true.
I'm a planner addict who's been secretly addicted to planners, stickers, pretty papers and stationery for a long time. Finally, I'm out of the planning closet!
Welcome to Closet Planner Addict! We're not just in love with planning; we're obsessed about stickers! We love them so much that we decided to make our own. And then we thought, heck you might like them too! Our stickers can be used in any planner e.g. Erin Condren Life Planner, Kikki K, Filofax, traveller's notebooks, Happy Planners, notebooks and many more.
It's important for us that you love the stickers we've created for you. If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, please do not hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to offer you an exchange or even a refund.
As much as all of the stickers are lovingly made, some lemons may escape our scrutiny. In the unlikely event that your order is damaged or lost in transit, please contact us and we'll work on a solution.
Before leaving a bad review, please contact us so that we can sort the issue out for you. Much appreciated!
We accept all Etsy payments - PayPal, credit card and Etsy gift cards.
All stickers come in a rigid envelope to prevent bending and damage in transit as much as possible.
Please read the FAQ section before and/or after placing your order as it answers the common questions we get, especially regarding shipping and tracking. Please note that if you select STANDARD SHIPPING when placing your order, TRACKING IS NOT AVAILABLE (apologies for the shouty caps). We won't be able to provide you with any shipping information should your order be delayed in reaching you.
All stickers are made to order and will take up to 1 week to create and deliver. It normally wouldn't take that long but just to be on the safe side, it'll take up to a maximum of 5 business days to get your stickers all printed and pretty.
Orders that are placed after 12pm on Friday will be shipped on Monday.
Australian orders are shipped via Australia Post. There's no tracking for standard shipping and have an estimated delivery time of 2-6 business days. Adding a Priority Label will reduce delivery time and will take 1-4 business days to reach major cities. Please note that opting for a Priority Label does not mean priority processing. It's Australia Post's slightly quicker delivery system especially for metro areas. For more information on Priority Labels, please go to http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/priority-letters.html.
All orders are shipping from Melbourne, which means that delivery to WA, QLD and equivalent may take longer. Please contact us if you have not received your order within 2 weeks.
International orders are shipping via Australia Post's standard shipping and may 3-5 weeks to be delivered. With standard shipping, TRACKING IS NOT AVAILABLE. Please bear this in mind along with the processing time. If you select standard shipping when placing an order and it's late in reaching you, we won't be able to provide you with any shipping information. We highly recommend opting for the tracked option when placing an order, especially if it's a large order.
All orders above AU$100.00 will receive a FREE upgrade to include tracking worth AU$24.60. Please contact us if you have not received your order within 5 weeks.
No, they're not. Once they're down, they won't budge.
At the moment, we're not accepting any custom orders but please stay tuned as this can change any time soon. If you're not sure about custom designs, please feel free to message us via Etsy. Please do not purchase any sticker sheets and request for custom designs in the Note To Seller section without checking with us first as that request will be ignored. Instead, please contact us to discuss any sort of customisations first.
Why are the colours in the stickers different from the photos?
Not all computer monitors are the same so colours may vary slightly from screen to screen.
This is a question I often get and we totally understand your frustration. Unfortunately, Australian postage is notoriously expensive and our hands are tied. By them. Gah! The shipping fees include postage and a small percentage for packaging costs. For more information on Australia Post's international postage (including estimated delivery times), please check out https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/calculate-postage-delivery-times/ (enter Australian suburb 3000).
I received my stickers but they aren't cut/printed properly. What do I do?
First of all, let me just crawl into a hole and wallow in embarrassment for sending wonky stickers to you. If that happened to you, I'm so sorry! Stickers are checked for quality control before they're shipped but sometimes, unfortunately, we do make mistakes and the wonky ones are overlooked and have made their way to you. Please message us via Etsy as soon as you detect any defects in your stickers and we'll either send you a replacement ASAP or refund your purchase. We want you to be happy with your stickers and not have to deal with wonky ones!
How long does it take for my stickers to arrive after I've received the shipping notification?
If you're based in Australia, it shouldn't take over 2 weeks for your order to arrive unless there are natural disasters going on (e.g. cyclones, typhoons, terrible storms, bushfires, etc) in either my part of town or your part of town. If 2 weeks have passed and you still haven't received your order, please contact us ASAP and we'll work something out!
If you're an international customer, Australia Post states that it takes 6-8 business days for an item to arrive, for example, to the US. However, in our experience, international customers (especially the ones based in the US, Canada and UK) usually receive their orders within 3-5 weeks, depending on customs. Any longer than that, please contact us ASAP and we'll work something out!
Is there a tracking number for my posted order?
To keep shipping fees as low as possible, tracking is not available with Australia Post's standard shipping option. In order to keep the shipping fees as low as possible for both Australian and international orders, there will be no tracking options.
If you're based in Australia and would like your order tracked, please opt for either Registered Post or Express Post shipping when you check out your order.
If you're an international customer and your order is under AU$100.00, please message me via Etsy to discuss tracking options BEFORE you place your order.

Nightclub Revel 32 Opens in Historic Downtown Poughkeepsie Building
A "Dress to Impress Party" will unveil the new music venue and event facility on November 23.

A rendering of Revel 32
Were he alive today, famed local 19th-century architect Arnout Cannon would likely be beaming about the change that's come to one of the buildings on the street named for him in downtown Poughkeepsie. Built in 1845 as a church and redesigned by Cannon as a Masonic Temple in 1895, the glorious Gilded Age structure at 32 Cannon Street—instantly recognizable by the opulent Grecian columns adorning its facade—was said to have been the architect's favorite project. But for decades it stood rundown and under-utilized. Recently, however, developers Jim and Gina Sullivan purchased and began renovating the ornate hall and are reopening it as a hip new nightspot and private event facility.
Rechristened Revel 32, the remade venue will pop its champagne cork on November 23 with a swanky-and-celebratory grand opening event dubbed "Reveal: A Dress to Impress Party."
"We'd already opened 40 Cannon [the neighboring former King's Court Hotel, now a community-oriented rental complex also housing Gallery 40, 1915 Wine Cellar, King's Court Brewing Co., and Cafe 40 & Co.], in 2018," says Gina Sullivan, who with Jim bought the building last February and has been leading their firm's continuing efforts aimed at responsible redevelopment in the district since 2013. "With that turning out so well, we were really concerned about what might happen next door, as far as the possibility of an outside developer coming in and doing something that didn't fit with the revitalization. We love restoring beautiful old buildings, and we wanted to save it. So we figured this would be the best way to keep it line with what we'd started."

40 Cannon Street is Transformed into a Community Hub
From glam 20th-Century hotel to fire-smote ruins, 40 Cannon Street in Poughkeepsie had several lives before its current incarnation as a mixed-use building with blend of luxury apartments and commercial spaces, including a craft brewery, wine bar, and art gallery.
By Anne Pyburn Craig
Although the nearly 200-year-old structure naturally needed some architectural attention when the Sullivans acquired it, its basic bones were stunning. "We've tried to keep all of the original fixtures and details intact while modernizing things when necessary," Gina says. And with 20,000 square feet spread over eight rooms, the ongoing project has certainly kept the couple and their contractors busy. But as the building continues to come back to life, it's clear from the dazzling results how worthwhile the effort has been.
A post shared by Revel 32 (@revel32pk) on Aug 19, 2019 at 6:35am PDT
Each of the lavish, multiuse spaces, with period tin ceilings throughout, has a distinct character: The two-story Grand Ballroom offers seating for 130 or standing room for 430; the Lauren Suite has sweeping city views and is perfect as a bridal suite or intimate dinner party space; the lobby-level 1845 Gathering Room lends itself well to cocktail parties and social happenings; the Downtown Room seats 100 and suits family or corporate gatherings; the Square & Compass balcony lounge boasts a full bar and billiards; and the shimmering crown jewel, Cannon Hall (450 standing or 150 seated), features a removable stage and functions as Revel 32's main event space.
The owners recently announced their partnership with the Bardavon 1869 Opera House to present concerts and performances in the latter room, the first being the inaugural November 23 party headlined by 12-piece soul band Remember Jones delivering a reimagination of Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album. "It's great to see what Jim and Gina are doing to enliven Cannon Street, which has been underdeveloped for decades," says Chris Silva, the Bardavon's executive director. "We're excited to bring our expertise and partner with them on the opening of Revel 32."

Remember Jones
Other than preserving the edifice as part of the downtown renaissance, the Sullivans didn't have a clear-cut concept for the project when they began it. "We knew it would be an amazing venue for weddings and corporate and private events, but beyond that we didn't have any goals in mind," Gina says. "Every day, though, it seems like we get approached about doing great events. On February 29 we're hosting a craft beer festival and on March 7 the Bardavon is presenting a Mardi Gras party in Cannon Hall. We've also been talking to several organizations about holding charity events here."
As historic as 32 Cannon Street is, the opening of 32 Revel assures that its history is still being written.
