Recently I was asked to do a writing assignment for one of my master's degree courses. The title of the paper was "Experiencing Work". I decided to write about my Dad and his work journey. I would like to share it with you too.
My father applied this verse to his life after discovering his gift in construction. Though he was twenty-seven years old when he learned of his gift, he was able to make a living from it, bless others with it, and make it a life hobby. Perhaps he embraced this job out of necessity and obligation, but it is noteworthy to examine how having a positive attitude, being grateful for an opportunity, and having a loving family really can make for a joyful work experience. This is my father's work journey.
Like many immigrants that come to America in pursuit of a better life, my parents also embarked in the journey in quest of a better life for themselves and their growing family in the late 1970's. They came to America without an education, minimal financial support, and unable to speak English. Father quickly found jobs working in the fields. When many field workers joined the Cesar Chavez movement for immigrant workers' rights, my father looked the other way and simply worked hard to put food on the table for his family. Many co-workers rebuked him, but he felt he was working for his family and didn't have time to do a march or worse, upset the bosses. As a result, he earned great standings with his employers.
Though he was grateful for this job, he saw this as a stepping-stone and sought a higher compensating job. At twenty-seven years of age, he had a wife and six kids to provide for. This was his motivation for seeking a job in another field. Hence, he earned a job in a construction company with the help of his church friend. It was at this job he learned the ins and outs about construction. Once again, his strong work ethic earned him high standings and his managers and architects considered him for several work projects. Again, those who were overlooked became jealous and upset at my father. All the workers, including my father, were Mexican immigrants, but unlike my father, they did not exhibit a strong work ethic, keen ability, or desire to do a job well done. Hence, the architect he met here went on to be a life long friend.
After this company closed down, my father and the friend who had helped him get this job, Carlos, became partners and pursued construction together. Shortly after, his friend felt Father could pursue his own business and earn more if he found his own jobs. Carlos felt he was getting too old to continue this line of work and told my father he'd pass on jobs to him if he needed more work. So Father pursued his own American Dream without realizing it. He went from working for someone else to being his own boss and even hiring help for his projects. In retrospect, he is so grateful for this moment that didn't come easy or simple to plan out. It was still worth the sacrifices and journey to America. As stated by Harper & Leicht (2011) "Never mind that the American Dream is oversimplified and imperfectly practiced; immigrants' own experience often convinces them that conditions are vastly better in the United States than in the nations they left, or want to leave" (p. 132). This was definitely the case for my parents.
Father went on to work hard at his craft. He trained my brothers in this field, well he tried at least, but they obvious didn't have the knack or passion for it as he did. One day he had the misfortune of breaking his leg and was forced to stay off his leg for three months. For three months, his previous and current clients called our home to see how he was doing. They sent cards and flowers and wished him well on his recovery. Others who saw him work saw his passion for his job as did his family. Perhaps it was his strong worth ethic. Perhaps it was his sense of responsibility as sole breadwinner. Perhaps, he simply loved what he did.
He was very involved in our church community and with his talent and supervision, they rebuilt the church's kitchen. He didn't seek compensation or recognition, but humbly accepted his plaque of appreciation during a church service. As his family, we were so honored and proud of Father for using his talent to bless others.
His joy and gift with construction was also his language of love. If Mom wanted something done to our home, he did it. When his children moved out and needed a job done at their home, he volunteered for it. When it rained and his friends called on him at the last-minute for help on a leaking roof, he was there. His labor of love conveyed his admiration and adoration for others.
After retiring in his mid 60s in a suffering American economy, Father and Mother decided to venture back to their mother land where they could live mortgage free in Guadalajara, Mexico. There they built their dream home with the savings they had earned in America. Although he did not get to work on the house himself, he did have the pleasure of supervising the construction of it. Mom says he still does odd small jobs around the house. He hasn't given up his love of construction. He has now made it a hobby, albeit now undertaking smaller projects.
From his work journey he taught me perseverance, hard work ethic, and finding joy in your work where you can bless others with it. What a privilege to find that you enjoy doing your job so much it becomes your hobby. Finding something that you would pursue to do with or without a paycheck is a passion. They say children learn more from what they see a parent do as oppose to what their parent says. Well, to this day, his construction jobs serve as reminders of who he is as a person, a worker, and a father to me.
I have discovered my passion for fashion, sales, and working with people and in the near future, I too plan to achieve my American Dream of opening a bridal/formal women's attire shop. Perhaps entrepreneurship and strong work ethic is in our genes. Perhaps it was all by chance. Perhaps having a loving family, assuming your responsibility and finding your passion really could lead to a joyful job.
I believe my father did just that and somewhere along the way of embracing his commitment as breadwinner for his family, having a thankful spirit, and a loving family, this became his passion, his hobby, and his labor of love.
I loved reading it. It was very nice of you to write about my uncle.

Charged water particles mimic Sun's long wavelength energy
by Dave Darragh
in Training & Education
on 24 Jul 2006
0 Charged water particles mimic Sun's long wavelength energy
Charged water particles mimic Sun's long wavelength energy
Science continues to push the boundaries, providing another growth extension aid for Groundsmen and Greenkeepers.
Vi~Aqua isn't the new kid on the block and was trialed extensively at the turn of this century in half a dozen stadium venues. It is a unique, environmentally friendly process, which boosts the energy level of ordinary water, by using electro-magnetic (EM) energy. When applied to living plant material, this energised water increases performance by as much as 25%, producing stronger, healthier plants that recover more quickly after damage.
In effect it makes normal water act like a fertiliser - but with no added substances of any kind. And when used with a fertiliser, it enhances its growth effects - increasing the benefits of applying additional nutrients.
Scientific research on the beneficial effects of magnetism on seed germination and plant growth has been going on for more than 60 years. But it is only recently, with the development of sensitive analytical techniques, that the reasons for this have become more fully understood.
Now, researchers have repeatedly documented the direct effects of electromagnetically energised water on plants across the world. Electro-magnetic treated water has been tested in laboratories and in field trials, by independent research institutions such as The Botanical Gardens Kew, University of Limerick, Warrenstown College and commercial organisations.
There is less resistance within the plant's cells as they elongate during the natural growth process. This allows them to grow more quickly. This is supported by the fact that plant growth hormones have been shown to significantly increase when a plant has had energised water applied to it.
Nutrient uptake from the soil and transport within the plant is faster, due to changes in root structure. In grass plants, the roots increase in length, as does the number and density of the root hairs. This in turn improves the efficiency with which the nutrients are absorbed by the plant tissue.
During activation, tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide are released into the water - a substance known to have a stimulating effect on plant growth. As well as increased root and shoot growth, EM treated water can speed up seed germination.
(Plant control left picture, treated plant right picture)
The electromagnetic effect stays with the water for up to 14 hours, before slowly wearing off. This means that water treated at a central reservoir under controlled conditions will still produce its beneficial effects once it gets out onto the pitch.
Vi~Aqua involves no added chemicals, irradiation or genetic modification - nothing is added except natural energy, of the type emitted from the sun every day, and without which no life would exist on Earth. Only around 1% of the solar energy reaching Earth is captured, mainly by chlorophyll, the green pigment in the leaves of plants. Vi~Aqua merely uses a different pathway to boost the type of energy a plant is already using. This alternative energy source has already proved its commercial value in horticulture, when light and thermal energy levels are low in autumn and winter.
The installed system produces the electromagnetic energy using the long radio wavelength segment of the Electro Magnetic spectrum. This is totally free of the hazards associated with energies at the upper end of the spectrum such as X-rays. Extensive tests have also shown that, even at very high settings, these EM rays do not harm any genetic material in living cells.
This technology has also been applied to other plant growth enhancement situations in horticulture, with tremendous success.
Grass seeds of an amenity cultivar of perennial ryegrass were sown at the equivalent of 35g/m2 evenly over the surface of two containers. Measuring 37cm x 19cm and 17cm deep, they were filled with a standard rootzone based on 70% sand of known particle size ranges, and 30% screened sterilised topsoil.
The preparation and treatment of each replicate has been identical throughout, in terms of quantity of materials used and timing of applications.
In order to assess the benefit of granular fertiliser, the equivalent of 35g/m2 of 10:15:10 was applied to one half of the surface of each of the two containers on the 23rd March, when the seedlings were 5cm high. This equated to 35N:52Po: Ko Kg/ha.
The results after the seven weeks of the trial were remarkable in a number of significant ways. A summary of the observed effects is detailed below:
1 Seedling emergence was slightly faster under the Vi~Aqua treatment by about 13%, taking seven days, and more uniform than with plain water.
2 The treated population was consistently a richer green colour from seedling emergency through to the juvenile stage, consistent with the superior growth rate.
3Root growth in the treated container was significantly superior in volume, mass, depth, and most importantly the density of root hairs that facilitate nutrient uptake and growth.
4Plant stature was more erect with stiff upright leaves, than the plain water treated replicate. Leaves within the Vi~Aqua treatment swiftly regained their upright posture after being flattened when inverted to study the root mass.
5When comparing the roots of the two replicates, during a severe 'infestation' of Fusarium mycelium over the seedling bases during the first three weeks, the Vi~Aqua treated replicate remained unaffected. The untreated population succumbed to the fungus, losing 25% of the seedlings in 24 hours. But with the disappearance of the disease due to a change in the weather, further damage did not occur.
6Ten days after the fertiliser application, the growth response was dramatic. Each replicate developed and intense green hue and gained height by 10mm, compared with the zero growth of unfertilised sections that remained pale yellow green. The initial growth rate and colour intensity continues to favour the fertilised sections.
7Damage from early morning frosts and severe winds, which occurred in April, bleached and scorched or reddened leaves on about 100 juvenile plants of the untreated replicate, whereas under the Vi-Aqua treatment none were bleached, and barely 50 leaves, were adversely affected.
8close examinations of the shoots within the fertilised and unfertilised sections under both water treatments revealed differences:
Leaf width of unfertilised sections consistently failed to exceed 2mm, whereas the fertilised replicates were ranged from 3mm-4mm, regardless of water source.
The replicate treated with Vi~Aqua and fertiliser was tillering profusely in comparison with its plain watered counterpart which was at a less advanced stage.
Gerard Byrne, Golf Course Superintendent. The K club, Ireland said "We have decided to continue using the Vi~Aqua water treatment in conjunction with the other maintenance programme currently in use at our Course, in preparation for the Ryder Cup 2006."
Gerry O'Hara, Captain. Abbeyliex Golf Club, Ireland said "The results (of using Vi~Aqua) at Abbeyliex are visible and tangible, a spectacular dark green sward on the new greens which offer a perfect durable putting surface."
Dr JJ Leahy Chemical & Environmental Science Department. University of Limerick, Ireland said, "The grass experiment concluded that the (Vi~Aqua) treated samples produced significantly higher carbohydrate concentration, which would increase the ensilability of the grass even under conditions climatically unfavourable for grass growth."
How is it installed?
Unlike traditional water treatment systems, Vi~Aqua is easily and quickly installed in any application. It comprises two units which are connected to each other via a single, electrical cable. The control unit is a surface mounting box to which the 220/240V ac supply is connected; the antenna which connects to the control unit is located at the water inlet, fully immersed. Simply switch on and treatment starts immediately. It runs continuously without the need for supervision, maintenance or chemicals.
For the Technically minded
More about how Vi~Aqua works
Vi~Aqua continuously applies electromagnetic radio signal to the water via a submersed antenna. The relatively long wavelength is safe in its own right and in any event, confined within the body of water.
The Vi~Aqua system works by altering the natural surface charge of suspended particles and acts to modify the Zeta potential. The negative charge induced by the applied radiation enhances the stability of the suspension by means of increased electrostatic repulsion between particles. This is due to the resultant double layer of ions that surround particles and vessel / pipe surfaces which are in contact with the water.
The modified "zeta - potential" facilitates improved hydration of solids and reduced surface tension of the water which brings the various benefits described earlier in this brochure.

March 6, 2010 El Port de la Selva
El Port de la Selva is a seaside village in the comarca of the Alt Empordà in Catalonia, Spain.
Overlooking a bay by the same name, the village is situated on the northern coast of the Cap de Creus and is an important fishing port and tourist center.
El Port de la Selva, by Jorge Franganillo (a)
A Costa Brava photo souvenir book, available at shops in all the tourist districts up and down the coast says it's the only natural harbor in this area,
for in this part of the coastline the mountain masses drop drown to the sea in sheer cliffs, majestically impressive and rugged, forming de Cap de Creus with the islands of Massa d'Oros and L'Encalladora before them.
Then there are Isla Culleró, Punta de Moli, Isla Poraló, Punta dels Farrallons, Penyas Roges, Cap Gros, Punta Blanca, Punta de la Creu and many other steep rocks and islets.
In the midst of all this ruggedness — remember, Costa Brava means 'Wild Coast' — El Port de la Selva is a haven of calm.
You guessed it: El Port de la Selva started life as a fishing village, but the fishersmen from this part of the coast have for centuries lived in the village of Selva de Mar — three kilometers inland — where they alternated fishing with farming activities. Port de la Selva developed from this village.
Fishing is still the village's main source of income, but tourism also brings in a lot of money.
El Port de las Selva is popular with wealthy Barcelonians, and — owing in part to its proximity to the border — to visitors from France as well.
The population of about 1.000 people is swelled in the summer months by tourists, many of whom return so often than they have bought a house or apartment here.
Platja Perabeua is a nice, pebble-stone beach in a natural setting of rocks and cliffs. The sand is clean and the blue water is crystal clear.
Some houses and tents are visible, but there are no amenities. Bring a picnic basket.
The beach can only be reached on foot and is somewhat of a climb down and later back up again. No lifeguards, no first aid post, and no toilets available.
The main beach of El Port de la Selva fronts the village. The clean beach consists of a mixture of fine sand and pebbles.
This beach includes a wide range of amenities and facilities. It is popular with wind surfers, and has on offer boat tours, jet skis, and para-sailing.
First aid post, toilets and showers are available.
This blue flag beach has plenty of nearby shops.
The water at the beach is, for the most part, shallow making this an ideal beach for children.
Aside from the usual beach activities, hiking in the area around town is very popular.
There are numerous historical sites to see.
The closest airport to El Port de la Selva is Girona Airport, located about 65 km away. Book a flight with Expedia

i think this will become more important as younger people grow up and gain prestige.
it is important that my current behavior be approved by my younger self.
i "leave my door open" as i work; i regularly check email and have facebook messenger open as i work so that people can contact me. this is analogous to someone leaving their office door open as they work so people can walk by and speak to them.
i try to put a lot of my work publicly online, so more people can access them. private access gives advantage to people "in the circle".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency is related to the transparency i care about. sort of like replicability of your steps. you want to imagine research as a function taking as inputs your reading material, but not your personal self. rather, you are just the thing that implements the computation! i.e. the research process doesn't depend on your special insider knowledge.


Set Up A Consultation With Our Health Care Negligence Attorneys Today!
Several risk factors make the elderly in nursing homes more likely to suffer a broken bone than elderly people in other settings. Many elderly people suffer diabetes, and some medications used to treat diabetes can decrease bone density. In addition, many elderly women suffer from osteoporosis, which greatly increases the risk that any fall or other injury that they sustain will result in a broken bone. Elderly people can also have issues with mobility and confusion that can make them more prone to falls.
Falls in a nursing home setting can be caused by a variety of different things, including poorly maintained floors and hallways, incorrect use of safety equipment such as bed railings and wheelchairs, or negligent supervision by nursing home staff.
Regardless of why an elderly person breaks a bone, the injury is extremely serious and should be treated as soon as possible. Elderly people have more brittle bones that take longer to heal. This means that when they break an arm or leg, it can result in complications that are much more serious than what younger people experience.
Nursing home staff refuse visitations with little or no explanation.
If a nursing home resident is intentionally injured by a staff member at a nursing home, a lawsuit will have to prove civil assault or battery. A plaintiff in Illinois may also be able to bring a claim against the nursing home for negligent hiring or for some other negligent practice that led to the broken bone.
The nursing home's conduct caused the injury.
If you believe that a loved one in a nursing home has been injured as a result of negligence or abuse, then you need experienced health care negligence attorneys like SAM LAW OFFICE LLC on your side. Contact our offices today for an initial consultation.

First Semester Update of the Pioneer F4LA Schools in Leyte
Leyte - Last May 2017, FundLife signed a partnership with the Department of Education Region VIII, which allowed the organization to introduce and deliver its Football for Life programme to public schools in Leyte. Three schools from Tanauan, Palo, and San Joaquin, Leyte were selected as pilot schools, and they started at the beginning of this academic school year. Four months into the programme, F4LA has successfully delivered a total of 70 Sessions, directly engaging up to 200 children.
Football for Life Academy or F4LA was designed as a complementary support to the education and holistic formation of children through sport. It served as another avenue for learning for children in school. As part of FundLife and DepEd's agreement, the schools also ensured that the participation and progress of the students enrolled in the programme are guided and closely monitored by both the school and the organization. As an extracurricular activity, students are also given extra points to their MAPEH classes as an incentive to join the programme and to encourage consistent attendance. F4LA's main target group are those from grades 7 to 11, ages 12 to 17.
As a result of the F4LA pilot, teachers have already expressed how the programme has been positively affecting the students' behavior, both in and outside of class. It They have commented on how it has also fostered friendship and a sense of community, as the programme is inclusive of children from across ages, classes, and genders. Students who are also engaged in the program have also shown an increase in attendance in their classes.
FundLife's goal for 2018 is to further improve by the programme through regular consultations with DepEd and expand the programme into more schools.
The partnership of FundLife with the Department of Education is a huge step towards its goal of advocating for holistic and play-based education and whilst delivering greater opportunities to underserved children. While it is still very early in the the partnership, there are very encouraging signs in the level of collaboration and cooperation seen in the first four months. We remain hugely optimistic and excited to follow the progress of the F4LA enrolled children and share the findings over coming months.
A huge thank you to the principals, teachers, parents, and school coordinators who have supported us in these first few months of F4LA in the schools, and most especially to the students who are keenly and actively taking part in the programme! Your support greatly motivates us to continue our work. We strongly hope we can bring F4LA to more schools and communities in the future!

Do you have what it takes to square off with some of the toughest warriors that ever lived? Then spin for honor, glory and immortality in the greatest sporting arena the world has ever seen when you play gladiators, a 5-reel, 3-row slot based on the brutal fighting matches that were held in ancient Rome. However, with 20 paylines, it should be clear that you will not have to fight too hard to come out on top of the game!
The smiling Roman emperor oversees the duels, while also acting as the scatter symbol. 3 scatters landed will trigger 10 free spins; 4 scatters will trigger 10 free spins and 3 total bets, while 5 scatters will reward you with 10 free spins as well as 10 total bets. The free spins can be re-triggered, where the remaining free spins are reset to 10.
Three Roman goddesses – Venus, Minerva and Diana – may appear randomly on the reels while you play this free Vegas slots-style game. When playing a round of free spins, one of the goddesses may be chosen to boost your wins. If free wins are re-triggered, then an additional goddess will be chosen.
When you play Gladiator slots, the goddesses will boost your free spin wins in different ways: Venus can synchronize reels 2, 3 and 4 to increase your chances of winning, Minerva may nudge one of the reels up or down so that you are awarded the best possible payout and Diana may shoot 2, 3 or 4 random wilds onto any of the reels. The wild symbol of the Gladiators slot is a shield covering a crossed sword and pitchfork. This symbol can replace any other symbol in the game except the scatter.
A once-in-a-lifetime adventure awaits you, as you do battle with some of the most legendary fighters of all time, so play hot slots Gladiators now and win!
Maximus is the best known of all the gladiators in ancient Rome, thanks to his many victories in the colosseum. No wonder he is the one who offers all the big prizes on one of the best slot machines online!
Spiculus was a battle-hardened champion who was a particular favorite of emperor Nero. Land 3 or more of this symbol and you could be rewarded with riches comparable to those bestowed on him by the Roman leader.


The max button in the military page isn't working.
I think the max button not working is a persisting issue for all users. Still don't make it any less frustrating.
Also the ingame bot for offence calculating in the war room isn't working. This is really frustrating.
Go to munk pref page, deselect "ajax navigation"
That worked for me regarding the war room not showing offence.
Yeah, this or when you load war room refresh the page after.
Can I please start a petition to turn off the new bot and go back to the old way? Seems like it hasnt been tested at all and will probably fail for most people when they need it most in the middle of a hard war.
I support this too! or at the very least let us turn it off if we so choose.
Game is close to unplayable when sitting someone. Half the screen is filled with php errors. Fix your **** bot please, especially if you're trying to monetize the hell out of it.
The military max button is resolved the same way you fix the war room, click military page then press F5 or update. Then you can use it, Guess it will be also fixed at the same time the war room bug is fixed.
It feels like they bought the bot from Munk at the last minute and shoehorned it in w/o any testing. My KD has been using munkbot for ages now and have never had this many issues related to the bot before.

Indiana Jones Canned [Update]
Filed to: RumorFiled to: Rumor
The last time we heard about the Indiana Jones game was back in March when Vanity Fair mentioned it would use the same engine as The Force Unleashed. There's probably a good reason for that.
IGN is reporting that multiple sources both inside and out of LucasArts have told them that the game has been canceled. The site writes that the team has already been reallocated to other projects.
No official confirmation from LucasArts, which isn't surprising. It also wouldn't be too surprising if this rumor were true. The game hasn't really had any official press in years and skipped the last E3 all together.
Rumor: Next Indy Game Canned [IGN]
Update: LucasArts responded to our questions about whether the new game had been canned with this response:
LucasArts remains absolutely committed to the Indiana Jones franchise. While we are aware that fans have been eagerly awaiting additional information on the upcoming game, they can rest assured that details are forthcoming.
You'll notice that LucasArts remains committed to the "franchise" and not to the game. You'll also notice that they only promise details about the game, but don't say whether those details will be a release date or a cancellation.
LucasArts did not reply to our request for clarification about whether the game was still being developed.

From Plainview: Jon Hassler's "the village in the corn" June 15, 2022

LAND. PEOPLE. ARTS. COMMUNITY. Those words theme a public mural stretching across the Plainview Area Community and Youth Center in the heart of this southeastern Minnesota small town.
The mural graces a wall of the community center, across the street from the former Jon Hassler Theater. (Minnesota Prairie Roots copyrighted photo May 2022)
I remember the mural from my last visit here in 2013. I appreciate this public art now as much as I did then, for art can reveal much about a place.
In the heart of the community, the Jon Hassler Theater and Rural America Arts Center, now closed. (Minnesota Prairie Roots copyrighted file photo November 2013)
While Plainview has lost some of its "arts" character with closure of the Jon Hassler Theater and Rural America Arts Center, it will always claim title (along with Staples) as the boyhood home (s) of noted Minnesota writer Jon Hassler. He moved to Plainview with his parents at the age of 10, remaining there until shortly after his 1951 high school graduation.
Hassler's Grand Opening is based on Plainview.
Hassler, one of Minnesota's most-beloved authors, focused his fiction on small town life. That includes Grand Opening, a novel based on Plainview. As in real life, the main character's parents buy a run-down grocery store in rural Minnesota.
Source: Afton Press
While I have not yet read Grand Opening, I just finished Days Like Smoke, A Minnesota Boyhood. This is Hassler's memoir, a manuscript published by Afton Press in 2021, many years after the author's 2008 death. Edited by friend Will Weaver, another well-known Minnesota writer, this slim volume offers insights into Plainview, into Hassler's experiences there and how that shaped his writing. He credits his parents' Red Owl Grocery Store as the training grounds for his writing, the place where he acquired the latent qualities necessary to the novelist. In that grocery store, Hassler stocked shelves, ground coffee, interacted with and observed customers, and more.
The land (farming) is integral to the economy of Plainview, which is surrounded by corn and soybean fields. (Minnesota Prairie Roots copyrighted photo May 2022)
This sentence in Hassler's memoir is so telling of the influence Plainview had on his writing: I see the villagers passing along the checkout counter like the cast of characters they eventually turned out to be in my novel about this village in the corn. I love that phrase, "village in the corn," for it fits agriculturally-based Plainview. The community is home to food processors, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative and Lakeside Foods, and celebrates Corn on the Cob Days each summer. Farming centers the local economy.

It's the people, though, including the characters, who truly define community. And Hassler shares plenty from Plainview, where he lived across from the stockyards for awhile, tried to derail a train, played high school football for the Gophers, watched endless movies at the Gem Theater, bloodied the nose of a third grader, sat at the bedside of his dying 11-year-old friend, biked to the bluffs along the Whitewater River to camp and fish, served as an altar boy…
The mural includes a faith-based dedication to Pauline Redmond. She co-owned the North Country Anvil Magazine/Anvil Press with her husband, Jack Miller. (Minnesota Prairie Roots copyrighted photo May 2022)
In his memoir, Hassler remembers St. Joachim's Catholic Church and Immanuel Lutheran Church standing as sentinels of the soul at opposite ends of Main Street. That's such an insightful visual. Hassler valued his Catholic upbringing and faith throughout his life. But he also admits in his memoir to the strong current of religious animosity running under the surface of daily life in the village of my youth between Catholics and Lutherans. This comes as no surprise to me, growing up in rural Minnesota with the same denominational tension.
People also define place as noted on the mural. (Minnesota Prairie Roots copyrighted photo May 2022)
It was that undercurrent—specifically the defeat of Hassler's father in a school board election—which ultimately caused Hassler's parents to leave Plainview and return to Staples. He writes: I, newly graduated from high school, loved Plainview too dearly to follow them.

Hassler's love for Plainview endured, long after he left to attend college, then to teach, then to write and then to retire in 1997 after 17 years as writer-in-residence at Saint John's University. Visit Plainview today and you get a strong sense of the place that shaped this writer. While businesses and people have come and gone, at its core, this remains "the village in the corn."
TELL ME: Have you read any of Jon Hassler's 12 novels or his nonfiction? I'd love to hear your take on his writing and what books you recommend.
Please check back for more posts from Plainview next week. Be sure to read my previous posts on Plainview published this week.

La Declaración de Mayo de 1917 fue una proclama de los diputados eslavos del sur del Parlamento de Cisleitania a favor de la unión de los territorios de población serbia, croata y eslovena en una nueva unidad administrativa en el Imperio austrohúngaro. Su rechazo por el Gobierno austriaco, que defendió la estructura administrativa dual, hizo que el movimiento que nació de la Declaración se fuese radicalizando hasta reclamar abiertamente la independencia en 1918.

La Declaración
El , el día en que volvía a reunirse el Reichsrat austriaco tras un largo periodo de gobierno sin parlamento, los diputados croatas de Istria y Dalmacia se unieron a sus colegas eslavos del grupo parlamentario yugoslavo (Jugoslavenski klub) para reclamar la creación de una nueva unidad territorial democrática que englobase las áreas de población serbia, croata y eslovena, lo que conllevaba mudar la división del Estado en dos unidades administrativas, establecida en el Compromiso austrohúngaro de 1867. La Declaración no presuponía una derrota austrohúngara en la guerra y era compatible con el mantenimiento de la dinastía Habsburgo, pero no con el sistema de poder dual acordado por el emperador Francisco José y la aristocracia magiar en 1867. Por otro lado, tampoco tenía posibilidades de salir adelante en caso de una victoria total de los Imperios Centrales, que hubiese dejado intacta la estructura del Imperio: se basaba en la posibilidad de una paz pactada entre los dos bandos que diese lugar a reformas territoriales en el Estado. Al no firmarse esta paz, el movimiento yugoslavista fue radicalizándose, pasando de abogar por aplicar medidas reformistas dentro del Imperio a defender la independencia.

Consecuencias
La Declaración recibió el apoyo del Partido Croata por los Derechos y de algunos diputados serbios en el Parlamento autónomo de Croacia-Eslavonia, disidentes de la coalición gobernante, y la rechazaron los frankovci, partidarios del gobierno imperial. La coalición croato-serbia, favorable en secreto al proyecto, decidió no pronunciarse sobre la misma al hallarse en el gobierno de la región, temerosa de la reacción del Gobierno de Budapest. Stjepan Radić y sus partidarios del Partido Campesino Croata también respaldaron la Declaración.

En la región de Bosnia-Herzegovina, única no perteneciente a alguna de las dos unidades administrativas imperiales sino gobernada por el Ministerio de Finanzas común austrohúngaro, la Declaración llevó a los partidos a convertir sus programas al yugoslavismo.

En los territorios de población eslovena, en Istria y en Dalmacia, la declaración impulsó el nacimiento de un movimiento de protesta nacionalista que reclamaba como mínimo la aplicación del programa de la declaración, exigiendo el derecho de autodeterminación. La radicalización del movimiento originó los más serios motines en Cisleitania protagonizados por soldados eslovenos regresados de Rusia, en mayo de 1918 y la defensa de la Declaración entre los marineros eslovenos que participaron en el motín de las unidades navales de la bahía de Cattaro a comienzos de año. En el mismo mes de mayo, el partido socialdemócrata esloveno se unió al movimiento a favor de la Declaración.

El movimiento en favor de la Declaración no se frenó ni con las victorias austro-germanas en el frente italiano ni con el temporal abandono por parte de la Entente de su intención de desmembrar el Imperio en enero de 1918 (debido a la posibilidad de lograr una paz negociada con él). En enero de 1918, el grupo parlamentario yugoslavo, aprovechando la Paz de Brest-Litovsk, solicitó que se tratase internacionalmente la situación de los serbios, croatas y eslovenos del Imperio. En marzo representantes de los partidos eslavos se reunieron en Zagreb para tratar de aumentar la cohesión del movimiento, aunque sin contar aún con el respaldo de la coalición croato-serbia.

Acontecimientos relacionados
La Declaración precedió por escasos meses a la Declaración de Corfú del , acordada por el Gobierno del reino de Serbia y los representantes del Comité Yugoslavo, en el que ambas partes se comprometían a tratar de fundar un nuevo Estado que uniese a los eslavos del sur del Imperio austrohúngaro con los Estados serbio y montenegrino lo que requería, a diferencia de lo que ocurría con la de Mayo, la disolución del Imperio.

Q: Why Windows 10 installation does not start in Virtual Box? I tried installing Windows 10 in Virtual Box.
Installation won't start.
Appears only Windows 10 logo.

A: There are known problems with VirtualBox and Windows 10. As per the download site: "Please be aware that Windows 10 is not yet officially supported! There are known problems with VirtualBox 5.0.2 on Windows 10 hosts and with Windows 10 guests. Some of the problems are fixed in the most recent test build which can be found here."
Furthermore, there are forum threads about the different issues with VB and Windows 10: The release version of Windows 10 and the Preview version of Windows 10.
The reasons for the problems is not yet fully determined, but the test builds seem to have solved some of the problems. However, new Windows 10 patches may break those temporary fixes. Also note that VirtualBox seem not to be alone of having compatibility problems with this brand new version of Windows.
