In spite of the unsafe condition of this Territory during the year, on account of Indian depredations, material progress has been made in the discovery and partial development of new mining districts, while in the older districts quartz mining has been carried on in the same mines as were worked last
year. The principal new discoveries were made in the Bradshaw, the Hualpai or Sacramento, and in three new districts which were organized in the western foot-hills of the Pinal Mountains. The latter have been named the Holsted, Pioneer, and Nevada districts. There were also valuable discoveries made in the immediate vicinity of Prescott, these new silver mines being located only four to five miles southeast of the town, in the heavy pine timber of the Sierra Prieta.
Mr. John Wasson, the surveyor-general of Arizona Territory, has kindly furnished me with a summary of mining operations in the Territory during 1871, which follows in full:
UNITED STATES SURVEYOR-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Tucson, Arizona Territory, November 28, 1871. Sir: In accordance with a request made by Mr. A. Eilers, of date October 23, and which I received November 14, I at once addressed letters of inquiry to different parties throughout the Territory, whereby I hoped to get more exact information regarding the progress of mining during the present year than in any other manner, but as yet only a few responses have reached ine, and but one of them of much value.
The annexed statement, marked A, is furnished me by 0. H. Case, deputy surveyor of mineral lands in Yavapai County, and is as nearly correct as probably any one could have prepared on short notice.
In consequence of a scarcity of water, mining operations in that county during the present year have been almost wholly confined to developments of old and the discovery of new mines, and in these respects hopoful progress has been made. In many letters received from well-informed men, resident in Yavapai County, all speak more encouragingly regarding the future of mining in that region than was common one year ago. The unusual drought of the past two years has rendered placer mining generally impossible; yet much of the country in the vicinity of Prescott is known to contain placer-gold in fine paying quantities, which can easily be made available with a supply of water for washing.
The discovery of very rich mines in Bradshaw mining district last January, diverted the attention of many miners from moderately-paying mines. While numerous discoveries or locations have been made in that locality, the Tiger lodo is the chief one. A shaft is down on it 100 feet, and the drifts and cross-cuts run show the width of the vein to be 31 feet. The development is going forward, and San Francisco operators are spending their money on it. Early in this year a renowal of prospecting was made in Hualpai or Sacramento district, which lies in Mojave County, and near the Colorado River. Tho greatest activity and interest prevail there at this time. Over five hundred miners have recently gone there, and more are goivg, and taking means and experience with them. All doubts of the richness of these mines and tho abundavce of ore are removed. Deputy mineral-surveyor, O. H. Case, writes me, under date of the 20th instant, that the owners of the Clinton, Niles, and Jones lodes bad three tons of silver-ore recently worked in San Francisco, which yielded $8,400; also that Clark & Co. bad worked at the same place four tons of Keystone ore, which had given in silver $10,720. Nothing is said of any yield in gold. From various letters written by men of experience, and who are expending their own time and means in those ipines, I am led to believe that the recent discoveries in Hualpai district are of vast value, and will, as one writer says, make that section one of the best for mining on the Pacific coast.
In the month of July a party of nearly three hundred men was formed for exploring the Pinal Mountains, which, I believe, wholly lie in the new county of Maricopa. This party was commanded by Governor Safford, and guided by a man named Miner. Owing to the latter's misrepresentations of his knowledge of the country, the time and supplies of the company were exhausted in a fruitless search for pretended discoveries made in 1862; but the ramblings of the expedition undoubtedly led to the late discovery of quartz-veins of much promise in the Pinal Mountains. "Three districts were formed early in this month, viz, Holsted, Pioneer, and Nevada. The Silver Queen lode, in the Pioneer district, is reported best, so far as developed. Twentyfour hundred pounds of the ore are now on the way to San Francisco for accurate test. Assays running from hundreds into thousands per ton are reported. Much interest is manifested by men of all occupations, and nearly all are trying to get some interest at the expense of previous earnings. The ledges are but a few miles from the Gila River, and wood and water are reported quite convenient and abundant.
Other discoveries which promise well have been made in many parts of the Territory, but mostly where it is unsafe for small parties to go, or stay when there. Instances of this kind are within my knowledge, and citizens of Tucson are interested. Several locations, a few miles southward, the owners have endeavored to prepare for patent, but the Apache Indians have frequently stolen or destroyed their tools and improvements; and laborers cannot be induced to carry on work at any price. With fex exceptions, locators are intensely anxious to positively secure their mines, because of the prospect of early railway communication. But danger prevails everywhere except near the Lower Gila and Colorado Rivers. Every act of locators exhibits honest faith in the great value of the quartz-veins of Arizona.
I addressed a letter to a gentleman at Wickenburgh for statistics of the Vulture mine, the largest producing one in the Territory, but no reply is yet received. In a friendly letter from the superintendent of the mine, of date November 14, he says it " still holds its own, and the prospect of finding water in the mine for milling purposes is very flattering. I am sinking a shaft inside the mine, and am down with it 310 feet from the surface. I struck water at 295 feet, and it has steadily increased as the shaft deepens. I think 75 feet more sinking will find water enough for a 20-stamp mill. I have an unusual quantity of good milling ore in sight.".
Should water for milling purposes be found in the Vulture, I think Mr. Eilers will assure you that it will then be one of the most valuable mining properties in America. As it is, water for the men, mining, cooking, &c., has to be hauled fifteen miles, and the ore a like distance for reduction.
Extensive work has been reported at various times as going on in Castle Dome district, situated about sixty miles above Arizona City, and near the navigable waters of the Colorado. Many shipments of ore bave been made to San Francisco for sale and reduction, and I am informed that satisfactory returns have generally been secured. A patent has recently been applied for of the Flora Temple lode, in that locality, and much interest is manifested in securing title to mining property there.
A large vein of coal, and of valuable quality, has been discovered near Camp Apache, in Yavapai County. The coal has been used by smiths with entire satisfaction. Another vein of great size, and reported good quality, was located some weeks ago about sixty or eighty miles east and north of Tucson, in Pima County.
Generally speaking, nearly every prospecting expedition which makes a determined effort finds new mines of the precious metals or other minerals, which have every indication of permanency and value.
Now, tliey cannot be occupied and developed, except where many are found near each other. It is certain death for half a dozen or a dozen men to attempt to carry on work beyond the direct influence of military camps or large settlements. Very respectinlly, your obedient servant,
JOHN WASSON,
Surveyor-General.
Echibit of producing mince in Bradshaw, Big Bug, Hassyampa, und Lyur Creek mining districts, Yarapai County, Arizona, ou
Reported by 0. H. Care, Tinited States deputy surveyor.
the 1st day of January, 1872.
The Tiger lode and the new developments in the Hualpai district have formed the prominent features of the mining news from Arizona during the year. Of_the former, the most extravagant descriptions have reached me. The vein was discovered towards the end of last year,
bat the value of the ore was first ascertained during the first quarter of 1871. Several assays, which ran very high, created an immense excitement. A town was laid out in the immediate vicinity, which filled rapidly with people, and actual prospecting of the ledge was energetically prosecuted. The vein is reported to have been traced for over six miles, and for a large part of this distance claims have been staked out, most of which have, by this time, been more or less tested, by shafts and drifts. The shaft of the Discovery Company (Moreland & Co.) is the deepest, and they have taken out the most ore, some of wbich has been sent to San Francisco, and yielded nearly $750 per ton. The assays of samples from this vein, which bave been published, run all high, and many of them exceed $2,000 per ton, while I have seen none which gave a yield below $58. The following are a few, all of them having been made in Virginia City, Nevada: $1,008.75; $736.50; $22.50; $122; $1,742.63; $1,953.40; $2,547.90; $58.13; mixture of ores, $1,318.69. Also, $1,804.69; $1,586.31; $972.22; $1,305.40; $2,990.69; $8,028.47. It is reported that San Francisco capital has come to the aid of the Discovery Company, and that thus it has been enabled to continue in its course of sinking and drifting, (one drift is said to be in over 80 feet on the vein,) wbile nearly all of the other claims on the lode have been lying comparatively idle.
The silver veins discovered near Prescott, during the fall, are reported as narrow, but exceedingly rich. In regard to yield per ton, it is asserted that the Bismarck, Cornucopia, and Homestake ores fully equal those from the Tiger. I am not informed as to the erection of reductionworks to treat the ores of the silver mines.
The Del Pasco, wbich was mentioned favorably in last year's report, has been further sunk upon during the year, and the 5-stamp mill
, erected near by, bas been at work a small part of the time. In the fall, the supply of water, which is at no time very abundant, became so scanty that for two months the mill could only run three and four hours per day. In an aggregate run of one hundred and ninety-two hours during that time, 42 tons of ore were crushed, which yielded $2,500, or an average of $59.52 per ton, considerably less than the ore worked before tbat time used to contain. In November the mill had to be shut down, as the water gave out completely. Meanwhile some water had been struck in the mine, and, in sinking deeper, this increased so much, that about the end of December a sufficient supply was reported to run the mill fourteen hours per day.
In regard to the Big Bug Mill and mines, I have not received the information which I have requested of the superintendent. But it appears from other information that the company has not worked regularly during the year.
In the famous Vulture, at Wickenburgh, an important change has taken place. This is the striking of water at a depth of about 300 feet. The sinking goes on energetically, with a hope of a sufficient increase in the supply of water to at least obviate the necessity of hauling the water for blasting purposes, and for the use of the men avd animals, a distance of fourteen miles from the Hassyampa River. Even this would be a great saving, and it is not impossible that, in the course of sinking, enough water should be found for crushing purposes. The work at the mine and mill has been constantly going on during the year, with the exception only of the few days needed for repairs at the mill. The ore in the lower level is reported much richer than usual, and many tons of it have been worked. From information received, I concludo that the yield of this mine in gold during the year has been somewhat larger than last year, but official information, for which I have applied, has not yet come to hand.
There are still various schemes spoken of for the purpose of effecting a reduction in the cost of handling and crushing the ore. The plan of conducting water from the Hassyampa River to the mine appears to have been dropped, and, in conformity with the prevailing idea of the times in regard to cheap transportation, a narrow-gauge railroad from the mines to a point on the Gila River, and a transfer of the mill from Wickenburgh, to that point is now spoken of. I am not familiar with the distance from the mines to the nearest point on the Gila, nor with the peculiarities of the route, but judging of what can be seen of the country to the west from the road between Wickenburgh and Phenix, I should think the undertaking to be not only feasible, but even easy of accom, plishment, at a moderate cost. It is highly probable that the road can be laid over an almost level mesa for nearly the entire distance, and there will certainly be no mountains to cross.
An important discovery has been announced as having taken place in the Weaver district. This is the Sexton lode, a vein which is considered almost as valuable as the Vulture. No thorough test of the vein bas, however, as yet been made, and the value of the ledge is so far ouly deduced from its size on the surface, and a test made of several tons at the Vulture Mill.
The placer-mining interest in Central Arizona has, according to all accounts, suffered severely from the protracted drought, and no more gold has been extracted in this manuer than during the preceding year, which was also remarkable for an extraordinary scarcity of water.
Hualpai or Sacramento district, which, it will be reinembered, was farorably spoken of in last year's report as a district in which mines might be profitably worked at the present time, has greatly gained in importance by new discoveries and the developments made during the year. While in the fall of 1870 there were not a dozen white men in the district, there are now nearly five hundred men reported to be at work there. A great many new discoveries have, of course, been made, the Cerbat Range having been prospected north and south of the veins vbich are mentioned in last year's report. Most of the later discoveries carry argentiferous-lead ores, like those described in my last report; but there have also been located several veins which carry amalgamating-silver ores, avd at least one lode, the Vanderbilt, which carries a heavy percentage of gold. The work done during the year has principally been prospecting, and on many claims shafts of from 15 to 60 feet bave been sunk, and selected lots of ore have been shipped to San Francisco for experiment. Several of these shipments have given very flattering returns.
Mineral Park and Parkerville are two new settlements in the district, in which a large number of veins bave been discovered. In fact, the whole Cerbat Range seems to be filled with veins from its southern to its northern extremity. A mill is reported in the course of erection, and Mr. W. J. Fee, an intelligent gentleman, who was the first to enter the district after the abandonment of the old Sacramento district in 1866, is about erecting a smelting-furnace. From personal reports of my deputy, Mr. Eilers, concerning the ores of the Cerbat Range, it is evi

Club for Growth prefers David Schweikert over Ben Quayle
Schweikert consultant: Boehner will cut us a check
By Jeremy Duda

The intraparty war between congressional Republican leadership and the conservative Club for Growth appears to have simmered down for the time being, even while the race between U.S. Reps. David Schweikert and Ben Quayle is growing fiercer.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner this week agreed to give Schweikert a contribution from his PAC to compensate for a contribution he made earlier to his primary rival Quayle.
According to Schweikert consultant Chris Baker, Boehner told Schweikert that he'd cut him a check from the Republican leadership PAC about an hour and a half after receivinga letter from the Club for Growth demanding equal treatment for the two candidates.
"We think it's terrific. We welcome the check. We welcome the support. We are very pleased that Speaker Boehner decided to make a donation to David's campaign," Baker said.
In the March 21 letter, Club for Growth President Chris Chocola told Boehner, along with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy, that the club would use its PAC to raise money for Schweikert if Republican leadership didn't stay neutral in the heated primary for Arizona's 6th Congressional District.
Chocola made it clear that neutrality meant giving Schweikert the same $10,000 the PAC gave Quayle last year, before redistricting led to the intraparty battle between two incumbent freshmen.
Schweikert spokeswoman Rachel Semmel said Boehner agreed to contribute $5,000 to Schweikert's campaign.
Chocola chastised Boehner for leadership's support of Illinois Congressman Don Manzullo against fellow incumbent Adam Kinzinger, whom the club viewed as the more conservative of two candidates. While he said Quayle and Schweikert were both "pro-growth candidates," Chocola said he worried that House leadership was once again interfering in a primary. He said the club would stay neutral in CD6, but only if leadership agreed to as well.
"Should it become apparent that you are choosing sides on behalf of Rep. Quayle, the Club for Growth PAC will consider it necessary to intervene on behalf of Rep. Schweikert. As is our practice, if the club's PAC entered this primary, it is highly likely that our 75,000 members would donate considerably more funds to Rep. Schweikert's campaign than the Republican House leadership would contribute to Rep. Quayle's campaign," Chocola wrote.
Quayle shot back at the Club for Growth the next day, noting that he has a better rating with the club than Schweikert does and recently voted against a measure supported by both President Obama and GOP leadership to extend the federal payroll tax cut, a bill that Schweikert supported. He also criticized the club's threats to Republican leaders, and asked whether the club would also send a "cease-and-desist" letter to U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, who is supporting Quayle over Schweikert.
"I was not aware that the Club's mission includes dictating to high-ranking officials who they may and may not support. It's ironic that an organization founded in principles of freedom and limited government could have come to such a dictatorial turn," Quayle wrote.
While both congressmen are have conservative records in their short time in the House, GOP leadership appears to favor Quayle while the Club for Growth appears to prefer Schweikert, whom it supported in his 2008 and 2010 campaigns.
In 2011, Schweikert was a member of McCarthy's whip team but was forced out after switching his vote on an issue important to leadership. Earlier this month, congressmen from both sides of the aisle accused leadership of showing favoritism for Quayle by having him sponsor a bipartisan bill that was nearly identical to an earlier bill sponsored by a Connecticut Democrat.
Meanwhile, the club said it wants to stay neutral in the hotly contested CD6 primary. But the pro-Schweikert letter highlighted the club's clear ties to Schweikert, as well as to Baker. On March 1, Andy Roth, the club's vice president of governmental affairs, responded on his Twitter account to someone who noted Quayle's superior rating with the club by saying, "Schweikert is a leader. Quayle is not."
Schweikert quickly painted the incident as a symbol of him standing up against the Beltway establishment.
"The powerful anti-tax group Club for Growth fired a warning shot across the deck of the Washington establishment," a March 21 fundraising email from the Schweikert campaign read. "David Schweikert has always had the courage to stand up for our shared conservative principles, even when members of his own party are on the other side."
Baker said Schweikert voted with leadership – as well as Obama – for extending the payroll tax cut because it was the best of two bad options. He said it was an example of Schweikert standing up for his principles, and referred to Quayle as "go-along-to-get-along" congressman who is in leadership's good graces.
Quayle campaign spokesman Jay Heiler, however, referred to Chocola's letter as "amusing."
"The Club for Growth is many people, not just Mr. Chocola. I suspect Mr. Chocola acted out of a combination of irritation toward House leadership over a race in a different state … and some cross-pollination between Dave's staff and club staff," Heiler said.
Republican political consultant Nathan Sproul said the fight between the Club for Growth and House GOP leadership isn't a battle between two factions on behalf of their favored candidates.
"Schweikert and Quayle are exhibit A in the dust-up between the (National Republican Congressional Committee) and the Club for Growth," Sproul said. "Clearly there is more going on behind the scenes than what that letter represents. … Ultimately, what they're saying is let's have a cease-fire between the NRCC and the Club for Growth."
Former Arizona Republican Party Chairman Mike Hellon predicted that grassroots activists in the state would largely be supporters of Schweikert, a longtime fixture in Arizona GOP politics, while "social establishment Republicans" will follow Boehner and Kyl in backing Quayle, the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle who was politically unknown before announcing his candidacy in 2010.
Hellon said there is little to separate Quayle and Schweikert in terms of policy or politics.
"This is a who-you-like-most race," Hellon said.
In the endorsement race, Schweikert has a longer list while Quayle has the biggest name. Schweikert, a former legislator and county treasurer who ran his first congressional race in 1994, already has the support of a handful of state lawmakers and the mayor of Scottsdale. Quayle has Kyl, a GOP heavyweight who commands massive support in the business community.
Others dismissed the establishment-versus-grassroots description of the race. Republican consultant Sean Noble said Quayle has plenty of support among grassroots activists and precinct committeemen. Noble said there will be some high-profile endorsements on both sides, but predicted that a lot of Republicans would stay neutral in the race, a rare matchup between two Arizona GOP incumbents.
"They're both congressmen so they both have something of value. But I think that you're going to see a situation where a lot of people stay on the sidelines," he said.
Some of the lawmakers who have already endorsed Schweikert say they backed him because they've known him for years.
"I don't see it as anything against Congressman Quayle. My decision certainly wasn't anti-Quayle. It was pro-David, and that's because I've known David for probably 15 years now," said Sen. Michele Reagan, a Republican from Scottsdale, where Schweikert has lived much of his life.
Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said the choice to endorse Schweikert was easy for him because he's known the congressman for more than a decade. But he said some Republicans may favor Schweikert because Quayle technically moved into the heavily GOP district to run against him. Quayle's home is near the district boundary, but he lives just inside the 9th Congressional District, a numerically competitive district with strong Democratic candidates.
Quayle said he chose CD6 because it includes far more of his current constituents than Schweikert's. Schweikert countered by labeling Quayle a carpetbagger.
But Kavanagh said Quayle's district switch may be dimming support for him among local Republicans. The party is best served, he said, if both incumbents run in the districts where they live.
"If Quayle doesn't run where he lives now, that seat might go Democrat. And he's got the best chance of defending the Republican position there," Kavanagh said. "I think a lot of people are concerned that he's jeopardizing a Republican congressional seat that we need very much."
Sproul said a lot of Arizona Republicans will have split loyalties. But he predicted that big-money donors, including many who backed Schweikert in 2010, will throw their support behind Quayle, largely because of his name and family connections.
"I think Ben Quayle has turned out to be a good congressman. He deserves a lot of credit for that. Schweikert is scrappy fighter who understands constituent services better than anyone," Sproul said. "The key question is going to be where does the donor community in the state of Arizona go, and my hunch is that they're going to gravitate more toward Quayle."

A Marymount High School student publication
Ms. Dickey's College Advice to Seniors
Sophia Scott '21, Arts & Entertainment Section Editor
With college application deadlines quickly approaching, pressure mounting, and Marymount's seniors anxiously awaiting their college decisions, it is an extremely stressful, scary, and exciting time for the class of 2019. For seniors who are intimidated and overwhelmed by the application process, for seniors who are nervous about being accepted into their top choice colleges, and for seniors who have already been accepted into college(s), but are apprehensive or indecisive, Ms. Dickey offered you some wisdom, encouragement, advice, and shared some of her own college experiences.
Courtesy of Loyola Marymount University
Ms. Dickey: "Slow Down And Stay In The Present"
Ms. Dickey grew up in the Los Feliz district of Hollywood. She attended Holy Family High School, an all-girls Catholic school in Glendale. During her college application process, she remembers, "I never spoke to a college counselor. I knew I wanted to go to college, but my parents didn't have the means to send me. I only applied to two schools, UCLA and Loyola Marymount University because we couldn't afford the application fees. I remember spending hours with my Dad filling out financial aid information. I hustled for every dollar I could make so I could pay for books. I am grateful for the scholarships and Pell Grants and Work Study and everything else I could scrape together to attend. I also had many different people throughout my career write me letters of recommendation for those scholarships and grants."
Ms. Dickey was admitted into both UCLA and LMU; however, she decided to attend LMU after she visited the campus during her senior year of high school for a Woman's Choral Festival. She recalls, "I loved the campus, and I liked the people I met from the school. I never looked back once I got to campus. I enjoyed my 6 years at LMU—I stayed to complete my Masters in English—and I never felt intimidated because I didn't know any better." She also received some wonderful advice from a friend of her family that she still believes today: "apply where you want to attend; if you don't get in there, another school will accept you."
For seniors who are not accepted into their top choice colleges, Ms. Dickey advises, "go to a school that wants you. If a top choice school defers you or doesn't accept you, move on. Why would you want to go to a school that rejects you? We are so lucky in this country to have an amazing collegiate system that draws people from all over the world. Where you go to school is never as important as who you are when you get there and what you become once you are finished."
Where you go to school is never as important as who you are when you get there and what you become once you are finished."
— Ms. Dickey
With regards to her time at LMU, Ms. Dickey says, "I enjoyed school—I guess that's why I am a teacher. I have great memories of friends and professors who I still see today." Ms. Dickey's standout college memory involves a performance she did during her senior year at LMU. She remembers, "The ASB invited me to play a concert on the Mall at LMU. I spent weeks preparing for it—picking a playlist, rehearsing with an accompaniment." Ultimately, her biggest takeaway from college was "to challenge yourself, and study something you find interesting. I started as a Political Science major. I found it too easy. By the end of my Freshman year, I looked back to see which classes challenged me and fascinated me. Needless to say, it was English, and the rest is history."
For seniors who have been accepted to several colleges that they like, but have difficulty deciding on a college to attend, Ms. Dickey suggests, "attend the college where you found your people. If you visit a school, and the people aren't friendly—and I don't mean the tour guides—or appear to be stuck up or standoffish, those people won't change; ironically, you will become like them. I wanted a school that would feed my brain and my heart and my spirit, that's why I chose LMU over UCLA." For seniors who are anxious about receiving responses from colleges, Ms. Dickey reflects, "I have to admit that once I apply for anything—college, National Endowment Scholarships, Conference Presentations—I work hard on crafting the best application that I can. Once I send it, I forget about it. I can do absolutely nothing to make me stand out after I hit send, so why fret? I have been very fortunate in my career; I have traveled to Japan, studied with renowned scholars, developed my own study programs all because I am not afraid to put myself out there, and I take the time to complete the application."
I have been at Marymount for 25 years, but in 1993, I was the freshman, the new kid. I wouldn't trade my journey to where I am today for anything."
To Marymount's Class of 2019, Ms. Dickey says, "I know that so many of you are already turning outward – looking at the future. Slow down and stay in the present. So many good things will happen over the next few months; revel in your final year of high school where you are the top of the heap. Before you know it. You will be a lowly freshman, again. That's life. I have been at Marymount for 25 years, but in 1993, I was the freshman, the new kid. I wouldn't trade my journey to where I am today for anything.

Social Startups: Pie Is Your Company's Social Pinboard
Shay Moser @ShayMoser
"People in ad agencies are exposed to an incredible amount of information every day, from videos to articles and infographics to everything else," says Pieter Walraven, co-founder and chief product officer of Pie, a Singapore-based startup changing the way companies share knowledge. "They're constantly scouring the web for inspiration and looking for the next big trend."
Walraven and his co-founder, Thijs Jacobs, noticed email and chat were used for sharing and organizing ideas within teams. But he says these platforms get too noisy once the group reaches a certain size. They found Pinterest and Dropbox are not ideal, as people ended up using personal accounts for work. Intranet platforms Yammer and Chatter posed other challenges, including being dull and complicated, which led people to give up using them after a few days.
"It's a shame, because here we had all these people collecting inspiring, important things, but without a tool to make these things easily accessible, all their time and effort was being wasted," Walraven says.
Founded in February 2013, the free Pie app is designed to help teams collect, organize, share, and discuss the business-related links, visuals, content, and more that they find in and out of work every day. "Social media agencies and ad agencies are among our most active users on Pie," says Walraven. "For example, Proximity (a digital agency owned by BBDO) uses Pie to create a library of everything for work. They have a board for competitor news and campaigns, one for marketing trends, a board for UX best practices, and so on. Many people throughout the agency contribute to those boards, so the entire team is creating a company library packed with information, which they use to germinate new ideas and reference old ones."
Besides internal sharing, Walraven says agencies use Pie boards with clients. "This drastically reduces the number of back-and-forth emails with their clients and eliminates the nightmare of managing a project through huge, bulky email threads with attachments scattered everywhere. Agencies use Pie to create boards that neatly contain everything for a client project: Google Docs, Dropbox files, relevant articles, competitor references, and so on, including all the discussions on each item."
Let's say you're starting a new infographic project, and you've found a few visual references that will help your designer. Instead of sending your designer an email every time you find a reference, you can create a board on Pie called, "Infographic Project." This board would contain all the relevant information for the project: a link to the creative brief on Google Docs, Dropbox links to previous revisions, and even links to similar infographics. You can copy and paste links directly into the Pie web app or use the "Post to Pie" Chrome extension. When you post something you can select which board you want to post it to as well as the coworkers with whom you're sharing it. Since Pie is free to companies of all sizes, you can create as many boards as you want, and invite as many team members or collaborators to a board as you'd like.
When you post something to Pie, it will appear in the company stream for your coworkers to see and discuss. Every day, Pie sends email digests of the most popular things posted by you and your coworkers so you never miss a thing.
"Our long-term vision for Pie is to build a social layer on top of your content by building smart integrations with other services you already use," Walraven says. "We think teams are eventually going to want a solution for bringing together all of the different services they use to create and collect content, and we want to be there when the market is ready. Some of the much-requested integrations in the pipeline are Evernote, Google Drive, and Dropbox, to name a few."

WHOOOPS! I could have been in the CMON Annual 2012 But I missed a private message back in June asking for high res pics of my images. I just found it today only because I got a comment on one of my other entries and I figured I would log in to see what I missed. Looks like quite a bit.
I wish they would have sent me an email instead of a message through their system. I wonder how many other people missed out.
So here are the miniatures they wanted to feature. While you are looking through your copy you can pretend these are in there.
So I haven't updated in a while but I assure you that I am working on painting just not as often as I would like. I have an amazing piece on my work bench and I've been so busy I haven't had time to get to him. I will update soon, I promise.

Ninety years after his own demise, Charles Rennie Mackintosh's internationally acclaimed masterpiece lies in ruins.

Are there really things "more precious more beautiful - more lasting than life itself?".


When Vermeulen notices that a five-million-dollar transfer has gone missing, he is given the run-around. First he is told the files have been mislaid, then stolen, then he is assured that the money was never transferred to begin with. But the money was transferred, so where is it now? Vermeulen's dogged pursuit of the missing transfer makes him the target of some ruthless operators. And once he meets up with Tessa, she is inevitably sucked in to the story as well, which turns out to be far more nefarious than either of them imagined.
It was just another Tuesday morning in late January, the warmest and rainiest month in Maputo. Acacia pods littered the streets of Mozambique's capital, and its million-and-a-half residents were looking forward to winter.
The email, which arrived at the Nossa Terra office at eight thirty, hit Aisa Simango like a fist in the stomach.
She was looking out the window. That much she remembered afterwards. Looking at the Avenida Vladimir Lenine, thinking that the street seemed forlorn in the watery morning light. Why she was looking out of the window, she didn't remember. She should have been printing the agenda for the nine o'clock staff meeting, steeling herself for the chaos that erupted when her staff barged into the office.
Instead, she was standing by the window, pensive. Maybe she'd stopped to straighten the picture of her children, Alima and João, on the windowsill. Sometimes the vibrations of a heavy truck driving by nudged it closer to the edge. Or perhaps she was thinking about the Sofala Project, wondering if it stood any chance of being completed on time.
In any case, her computer dinged, she sat down and opened the message.
It came from the Maputo office of Global Alternatives, the Swiss foundation set up by hedge-fund billionaire Vincent Portallis. The foundation was a newcomer to the development-aid field. It undertook big, flashy projects, lured famous actors to its causes, and dispensed a trickle of the millions of dollars it leveraged to local subcontractors like Nossa Terra.
The message itself started with the usual noncommittal niceties—Greetings, Aisa. How are things? It's been a while—but got to the point quickly. We've emailed Helton Paito repeatedly regarding a discrepancy in the disbursements. We've received no reply. Would you kindly review the numbers in the attached spreadsheet and supply the proper documentation, or alternatively, remit the specified amount to Global Alternatives?
She wasn't worried yet. Not then. The message sounded more pro forma than anything. Just dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Making sure all the numbers added up, accountability and efficacy being big buzzwords in the donor community. Most likely, Helton was already dealing with it. Her first glance at the spreadsheet also didn't raise any suspicions. Yes, they had proposed to spend those sums for those purposes. She knew, because she had personally reviewed the project proposal before submitting it five months ago.
It was the last column that sent her reeling. She rubbed her eyes, focused on the street outside, then back on the screen. The numbers were still there, including the last one, bold and in bright red. Like dabs of blood left on the screen. The number was too large, too ghastly to imagine. Five million dollars. Unaccounted for, missing, not properly documented. No matter what phrase she came up with, it still meant trouble, serious trouble.
Of course, it was all wrong. Five months ago, when they'd been notified that the project in Sofala had been accepted, everybody had clapped. But so far, they'd only received a small disbursement. Enough to set up the infrastructure and hire personnel. Certainly not five million dollars.
She got up. Went to the window. And back to her desk. She grabbed her mobile. Call Global Alternatives, ask if there has been a mistake, if this is someone's idea of a joke. She didn't. Obviously, Global Alternatives wouldn't make a mistake or a joke.
There were documents, receipts, invoices for the hundred thousand they'd received. They could account for all expenditures. She dialed Helton's number. He would know where the mistake lay, which numbers had ended up in the wrong column, projected expenses instead of disbursements, or vice versa. He was her second in command and usually the second one through the door in the morning. He answered after four rings.
The chapa stop, where the minibus taxis dropped and picked up passengers, was close enough, one of the reasons they had chosen an office so far from central Maputo. But Helton liked to check out the wares of the hawkers along the roundabout connecting Avenida Vladimir Lenine and Avenida Julius Nyerere.
"And we've spent what, a hundred thousand?" She hated the guessing game. A sheet of paper, better yet, an old-fashioned ledger with dated entries for every last centavo would have calmed her.
"And you have documentation for every expenditure?" She held her breath without meaning to. Helton had been good for Nossa Terra, even if she didn't always get along with him. He was the accountant who'd made it possible to land projects like the one with Global Alternatives.
He sounded both upset and defensive when he ended the call.
She went back to the window. The melancholy she felt when looking at the Avenida Vladimir Lenine in the rain was more bearable than the dejection evoked by the stark office. When Nossa Terra first moved here after their big expansion four years earlier, the soulless space had weighed on her. But the rent was cheap and Nossa Terra had no money. Since then, new employees had tried to spruce it up. They affixed posters to the walls and brought in all sorts of plants. In the end, they all surrendered to the futility of the makeover, giving in to the cement walls, impervious to any improvement.
Before the move, Nossa Terra had been a scrappy community organization fighting for land so its members could farm. It had taken Aisa in thirteen years earlier. She had just given birth to João sixteen months after having Alima. Their father up and left, unwilling to face raising children. She was desperate for food, shelter, companions. She wasn't much of a farmer, but she had an uncanny sense of the limit beyond which the authorities would abandon any pretense of accommodation and just call the police. That skill helped her get concessions, then leases, and eventually, land titles.
By that time, the global aid complex had fully embraced Mozambique. Nossa Terra was noticed. Graduate students from Scandinavian universities came to study it. A documentary filmmaker from Brazil shot enough footage to put together an hour-long feature.
When the foundations came knocking, Aisa, the single mom, was ready. She hired three staff not knowing how she'd pay them at the end of the month and drew up a proposal to expand the work Nossa Terra had done near Maputo to the next province. After submitting the proposal, she landed her first project, worth a hundred thousand dollars, three days before payroll came due.
Helton barged into the office. He seemed to compress the air in any room he entered. The others called him "Hilton," not because he was as refined as a luxury hotel, but as big as they imagined a Hilton to be. It wasn't just his size. With his shiny face, wooly hair, spotty beard, and big smile, he exuded maleness, not in a primordial sense, more in a here's-a-guy's-guy sense. Men liked him automatically. Many women did, too. Even some who worked at Nossa Terra. Aisa wasn't one of them.
"What's the matter with the Sofala Project?" he said, stopping in the open door.
Closing the door, he walked to his desk, took off the blue suit coat, and hung it over the back of the chair. Helton always wore a suit, shirt, and tie. Since he only had the one suit, time had taken its toll on the garment. Aisa thought a simple shirt with tie would look far better, but the suit was part of Helton's guyness.
"So far they've disbursed a hundred thousand?" she said.
"Five million dollars worth of discrepancies," she said.
She turned to the computer, thinking that Helton's protestation made him look like he knew more.
He plopped into Aisa's chair, which squeaked under his weight. He jiggled the mouse. The picture of Maputo's beachfront disappeared and the columns and numbers reappeared, the last one still a blood-red punctuation mark. Helton followed the numbers, his right index finger moving down the screen. He mouthed each number silently. As the finger approached the red number, he started shaking his head.
"No," he said so quietly she barely heard it. "No, no, no." His voice became louder with each "No." Whatever defensiveness Aisa thought she'd noticed was gone. The Helton before her was a man utterly shocked.

The Boston Red Sox introduced the newest members of the Red Sox Hall of Fame and presented members of the community with the Red Sox Foundation's "Fenway Honors" award for charitable achievements at the 2018 Red Sox Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Fenway Honors Gala. The event was held at the Westin Copley Hotel.
Former Red Sox players Kevin Youkilis, Derek Lowe, Mike Lowell, and the late John Frank "Buck" Freeman were selected as the 2018 Red Sox Hall of Fame inductees. Alphonso "Al" Green, who has spent the last 44 years working with the Red Sox, was chosen as the non-uniformed inductee.
The Red Sox Hall of Fame also awarded a "Special Achievement" inductee, recognizing the success and accomplishments of a member of the public and the impact they have had on the Red Sox and baseball. The first-ever Special Achievement inductee was Arthur D'Angelo, owner of Twins Enterprises, The Souvenir Store on Jersey Street, and founder of '47 Brand, a company that produces licensed apparel for Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, and over 650 colleges.

Connecticut to receive $300 million from settlement with opioid distributors
by Andrew Brown July 21, 2021 @ 3:31 pm Updated March 5, 2022 @ 12:56 am
Attorney General William Tong announced Wednesday Connecticut will receive $300 million from an opioid settlement. Andrew Brown
The state of Connecticut will receive more than $300 million as part of a massive legal settlement with an opioid manufacturer and several corporations that shipped billions of prescription pain pills around the country in recent decades.
The settlement will resolve the state's claims against Johnson & Johnson, an opioid manufacturer, and the country's three largest drug wholesalers — AmerisourceBergen Corp., Cardinal Health, and McKesson Corp.
The deal is part of a larger, $26 billion settlement the companies negotiated with state and local governments to limit their potential legal liability for the ongoing opioid epidemic.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced the settlement at the state Capitol on Wednesday. He was joined by other state officials, including Gov. Ned Lamont, individuals who have struggled with addiction, and family members who have watched loved ones suffer from the disease.
Tong said the settlement money will be used to help stem opioid addiction, which has worsened during the coronavirus pandemic.
Connecticut will receive its share of the settlement over an 18-year period, Tong said. Fifteen percent of the settlement proceeds, or roughly $45 million, will be distributed to municipalities throughout the state, and the rest will be managed by the state, which intends to use the money to fund addiction counseling and medication assisted treatment.
The lawsuits at the center of the settlement were filed against the companies by towns, cities, counties and state attorneys general across the country. Those lawsuits alleged Johnson and Johnson and the drug wholesalers helped to feed the county's addiction crisis.
Johnson and Johnson produced some of the highly-addictive prescription pain pills, and Amerisource, Cardinal Health and McKesson — which are three of the largest corporations in the country — were responsible for shipping those prescription drugs to pharmacies across the country.
Data from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration showed that between 2006 and 2014 Cardinal Health, alone, shipped more than 266 million oxycodone and hydrocodone pain pills to pharmacies in Connecticut. McKesson shipped another 182.9 million, and AmerisourceBergen shipped another 61.5 million highly-addictive opioid prescriptions.

State noncommittal to nursing homes' request for more money
The three drug wholesalers released a statement Wednesday saying they "strongly dispute the allegations" contained in the lawsuits. But the companies said the settlement was an "important step" in resolving the massive number of legal claims.
Treatment specialists have argued the flood of prescription pain pills into communities in past years caused many people to become addicted to opioids and led some to take up illicit drugs like heroin and fentanyl.
The increased use of illicit drugs have, in turn, caused a spike in opioid-related overdose death across the country, and Connecticut is well aware of that human toll.
Roughly 610 people in Connecticut died of an overdose tied to oxycodone or hydrocodone pills in the past six years, and so far in 2021, another 29 people were added to that grim total.
Even more have overdosed from illicit opioids, like heroin and fentanyl. Between 2015 and the first part of 2021, 6,057 people have died from those drugs.
Tong highlighted the mounting overdose death rate during the press conference, and lamented the thousands of "souls" that have been lost in Connecticut.
Maria Skinner, the Executive Director of the McCall Center for Behavioral Health, said the settlement may not provide a lot of comfort to people who have lost friends and family members to opioid addiction. But she said the money could do a lot to prevent addiction and overdoses moving forward.
Addiction treatment services in Connecticut is an "under-resourced system," Skinner said. But an infusion of $300 million, she added, could stop the "wreckage" and "heartache."
The state is expected to establish an Opioid Recovery & Remediation Fund Advisory Council, which will oversee the disbursement of its share of the settlement.
Lamont promised the money would be put toward treatment efforts throughout the state.
"It's not going to be siphoned off," Lamont said. "Our job is to make sure this money is properly invested."
The terms of the settlement require the three distributers to collectively pay up to $21 billion over 18 years, with Johnson & Johnson — which is ordered to stop selling opioids entirely — responsible for $5 billion over nine years.
In addition, the agreement also requires Cardinal, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen to establish a centralized independent clearinghouse to provide all three distributors and state regulators with aggregated data and analytics about where drugs are going and how often, eliminating blind spots in the current systems used by distributors; use data analysis to detect suspicious opioid orders from pharmacies; terminate the ability of pharmacies to receive shipments, and report those companies to state regulators, when necessary; prohibit shipping of and report suspicious opioid orders; prohibit sales staff from influencing decisions related to identifying suspicious opioid orders; and require senior corporate officials to engage in regular oversight of anti-diversion efforts.
Connecticut's share of the settlement was determined by a formula that assessed the impact of the opioid crisis on the state, taking into account the number of overdose deaths, the number of residents with substance use disorder, the number of opioids prescribed, and the population of the state.

Palestinian president says U.S. threat to close PLO's D.C. office 'dangerous' for peace

JERUSALEM — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday he was "deeply surprised" by a U.S. threat to close the Palestine Liberation Organization's office in Washington unless it enters direct peace negotiations with Israel.
He said a U.S. decision not to recertify the office of the PLO, the main Palestinian negotiating body, later this month was an "unprecedented step" in the history of U.S.-Palestinian relations and has "dangerous consequences" for peace.
A State Department official said that the decision was taken due to "certain statements made by Palestinian leaders about the ICC," referring to the International Criminal Court. The office could be reopened if after 90 days President Trump determines the Palestinians have entered into "direct, meaningful negotiations with Israel."
Under conditions imposed by Congress, the PLO cannot operate a Washington office if it calls on the ICC to prosecute Israelis for crimes against Palestinians. Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly in September, Abbas called for ICC investigations into Israeli aggression.
Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and U.S. Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt have been tasked with laying the groundwork for the "deal of the century" in an effort to bring lasting peace to the region.
A closure of the PLO office should in no way be seen as a signal that the United States is backing off those efforts, the State Department official said.
"We are hopeful that this closure will be short-lived," the official added.
If the office is closed, the PLO will put on hold all communications with the U.S. administration, said the organization's secretary general, Saeb Erekat. He said the PLO had been informed of the move in a letter.
"This is very unfortunate and unacceptable," he said, blaming pressure on the U.S. administration from the Israeli government, an accusation the Israelis rejected.
"This is a matter of U.S. law," said a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. "We respect the decision and look forward to continuing to work with the U.S. to advance peace and security in the region."

Our story begins with Tanjiro Kamado, a poor boy living in the mountains during the Taisho era. As the breadwinner in the family, Tanjiro sells coal to the villagers and runs errands for them in return for a bit of money. After a particularly long day in the village, Tanjiro opts to stay with a neighbor for the night because the mountains are riddled with demons. But when he returns in the morning, he finds his entire family has been slaughtered by demons. Burdened with survivor's guilt and the fact that his loving sister, Nezuko, has transformed into a part-demon from the incident, Tanjiro embarks on a journey to find a cure for his sister and figure out a way to protect himself in the long run.
When I first heard of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I did not think too much about it. The plot screamed of a typical shounen series and I predicted that the show would fall flat because of its unimpressive characters and constant power-ups. But once I sat down in the movie theater, I found myself absolutely enthralled by Demon Slayer. Part of it was due to the excellent progression of the plot that was condensed into the first five episodes. I never felt bored between each episode, thanks to its well-organized plot and perfectly timed comedy that kept me entertained throughout the two hours. However, the real reason that has me singing praises for the series is none other than the main lead himself, Tanjiro Kamado.
Similar to most shounen protagonists who are usually without a purpose up until a certain point in their life, Tanjiro underwent a traumatic event that forced him to accept his demon slaying powers. However, unlike typical shounen MCs who continue their "quest" with no clear purpose except to take down the metaphorical "bad guy", Tanjiro has a clear goal. Driven by his survivor's guilt and his desire to cure Nezuko from being a half-demon, he quickly transforms from a young naïve country boy into a hard-working hero who understands that harboring a half-demon is dangerous and potentially suicidal. Nevertheless, he forges on to make his goal a reality. I have a particular fondness toward protagonists whose sole purpose is centered around familial relationships and to watch them either grow beyond that purpose or remain fixated on it. It's rewarding to see these characters become challenged by differing opinions and perspectives, so I look forward to see what else Tanjiro has to offer in the future.
Animation-wise, Ufotable strikes again! Somehow, the studio understood that they couldn't use the same flashy animation that they used in Touken Ranbu or Tales of Zestiria because the Demon Slayer manga has a very bland and blocky art style. Instead of using the arcing blades of light, columns of dark smoke, and elaborately choreographed fight scenes that they are known for, Ufotable chose to incorporate beautiful CGI backgrounds that capture the picturesque Japanese countryside, bright colors to accentuate the bizarre clothing patterns of the Taisho era, and add in an ukiyo-e-like animation flair to depict the different type of demon slaying powers. This is showcased in Demon Slayer's opening when Tanjiro unleashes a torrent of water from his sword, which reminded me of The Great Wave off Kanagawa print design by Hokusai.
When I first saw Tanjiro execute that swing in an actual fighting scene, I think my heart stopped. I absolutely love the ukiyo-e art style because it's a revolutionary art style that represents Japan's international identity. When you think of Japanese art, you think of the ukiyo-e art that consists of plump geishas, bold-faced tengus, and the solitary nature pieces. It's a hallmark of the Japanese cultural arts, so to see Ufotable actually pull off the ukiyo-e art style along with the bright colors and beautiful CGI backgrounds that is usually uncharacteristic of their style is absolutely stunning and pays a great homage to the past. I have to say, the work put into Demon Slayer really makes it stand out among Ufotable's other works.
Another thing that caught my attention was the music. Demon Slayer sports a magnificent arrangement of violins, bamboo flutes, and enka-esque singing that really highlights the hybrid musical scene from the Taisho Era. But underneath all of that, there's a hint of eeriness and unpredictability in the score that keeps you at the edge of your seat. This is due to the great collaboration between Yuki Kaijura and Go Shiina, both who are very well known for their musical contributions in Garden of Sinners and Juuni Taisen, respectively. You can practically hear the sudden drop in mood with a few eerie synthetic beats as Tanjiro descends down the mountain, which is Kaijura's signature in many of her works. Meanwhile during the battle scenes, there's a guitar riff that hypes up the audience for what's to come next, which I assume is the work of Shiina. Their collaboration is really a blessing to Demon Slayer and I couldn't ask for anything better.
All in all, seeing Demon Slayer at the Aratani Theatre was an absolute cinematic treat. I usually prefer watching anime series and movies at home in case the actual product is a disappointment, but this screening really changed my mind. As long as the series sports a compelling storyline, a likeable character, and quality work by the production team, then the show is sure to be spectacular and mind-blowing. I hope that everyone is able to enjoy Demon Slayer as much as I did, regardless if they saw it in theaters already or are now streaming it online via Crunchyroll, Hulu and FunimationNow!
Special thanks to Aniplex for making this screening possible!

MIAMI, FLA.- New Art Dealers Alliance and Artadia announced Daniel Lind-Ramos as the recipient of the 2019 NADA Artadia Award, a $5,000 unrestricted, merit-based Award granted to one artist exhibiting at the fair. Lind-Ramo's work is exhibited at Embajada, booth 9.10 at NADA Miami 2019.
A jury comprising two curators, Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Curator, Contemporary Design, Hintz Secretarial Scholar, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and Gean Moreno, Curator of Programs, Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, selected Lind-Ramos. This is the thirteenth time NADA and Artadia have partnered to present the Award.
In a joint statement, Cunningham Cameron and Moreno noted: "Comparing artists from so many places is always a challenge. But Daniel Lind-Ramos's looming sculpture Armario de la Conciencia stood out to us for its visceral materiality and impressive range of references. It transcends its immediate context, reminds us of long and complex historical narratives, and stands as a testament to the foundational role that the African diaspora has played in shaping the Americas."
Daniel Lind Ramos obtained a Bachelor's Degree at Universidad de Puerto Rico in 1975. In 1980, he earned his MFA from New York University. In 1989, he was the first artist to be awarded the Fundación Arana Scholarship, which allowed him to study that year in Paris, France, where he attended at Antonio Seguí's Studio at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He received the First Prize at the Salon International Val D'or at Hyères in the South of France (1990), the Delegation Prize at the Salón Internacional de Plástica Latina at Meillant, France (2000), among other achievements. In 2002, he was selected for a Public Art Project to develop a series of five sculptures in the town of Loíza, Puerto Rico, in homage to Santiago Apostol. Currently, he is a Senior Professor and at Universidad de Puerto Rico's Recinto de Humacao, Puerto Rico. Lind Ramos has participated both solo and group exhibits in Africa, Haiti, France, Dominican Republic, United States and Puerto Rico. In 2019, he was selected to participate in the Whitney Biennial in New York City.
Artadia is a national non-profit organization that supports artists with unrestricted Awards followed by a lifetime of program opportunities. Artadia is unique in that it allows any artist to apply, engages nationally recognized artists and curators to review work, and culminates in direct grants. Since 1999, Artadia has awarded over $5 million to more than 330 artists in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.
