New book on Iowa Confederates in the Civil War released
The newly released book, Iowa Confederates in the Civil War, is not a typical look at the state's involvement in the Civil War, being that Iowa was a very strong Union state with a proud history.
David Connon, an Iowa history buff and author of the book, opted to take readers down a different path, one that takes a look at the 76 soldiers who donned Confederate uniforms and fought for the South.
"The heart of the book is a historical sketch of each of the 76 Iowa Confederates," said Connon, who once resided in rural Malcom. "My stories don't take anything away from that proud Union history."
Connon, who travels across the state through the Humanities Iowa Speakers Bureau sharing stories of Iowa history, spent 17-years and thousands of hours of research pouring through Iowa newspapers, letters, diaries and official documents of the time period.
"A rich source of information was letters to Iowa newspaper editors and newspaper editorials," he said. "Sometimes these letters complained that a local man was off serving the Confederacy. And sometimes the letter condemned the father of the soldier as being a traitor himself."
In addition, Connon has worked as an interpreter at Living History Farms for 11 seasons. He is also a member of the Sons of Union Veterans, an associated member of Sons of Confederate Veterans, and a member of the Des Moines Civil War Round Table. He holds a master's degree in education from Northern Illinois University.
In his book, Connon shares the intensely human stories of Iowa Confederates in the Civil War. Readers will follow their pre-war, war-time and post-war experiences, ranging from difficult relationships to disease, imprisonment, desertion and adventure. More stories illuminate the turbulent Iowa home front, where life was hard for parents of Confederates and for Peace Democrats.
Connon pitched the story idea to Fonthill Media about three years ago. They wanted a longer manuscript and Connon said he was ready to write it.
"I buckled down and produced a longer manuscript," he said.
Fonthill works in partnership with Arcadia Publishing and The History Press, publishers of the book. The 208-page book was released on Sept. 30.
• The 76 Iowa Confederates were shadow images of their Union counterparts in every way. One of every four Iowa Confederates had a divided family, with a brother or father in the Union service.
• Three friends of Jefferson Davis were prominent Iowa Democrats, including a former U.S. Senator. Six of their sons entered the Confederate service. Republicans demonized many Democrats as disloyal, leading to numerous arrests and ruined reputations. Readers will gain insights into the intense emotions of wartime Iowa.
• Connon reveals the motives of why Iowans wore gray.
Connon, who has no Confederate ancestors and two great-great-grandfathers who served in the Union Army, decided to move forward with the Civil War book project following six-years of research on the Grinnell Station of the Underground Railroad. He expanded his research to include greater Poweshiek County through the end of the Civil War.
"I learned that Bushwhackers murdered two deputy marshals in Sugar Creek Township, who had tried to round up draft deserters," said Connon. "This made me ask, 'Did any Iowans leave this state and serve the Confederacy?'"
Connon begins the book with a context chapter, Iowa and the lead-up to Fort Sumter, S.C. The war started on April 12, 1861 when Southern soldiers fired on Fort Sumter. The war ended on April 9, 1865 at the Courthouse in Appomattox County, Virginia, when Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
John Liepa, Emeritus Professor of History and Political Science at Des Moines Area Community College, in his forward, compares Connon's book on the Civil War to the September 2017 airing of Ken Burn's and Lynn Novick's The Vietnam War – a T.V. Mini-Series, noting that the series was a stark reminder of how deep and emotional are the "scars" of war.
"Connon's Iowa Confederates in the Civil War is a thorough and superbly researched book into the minds and motives of Iowans who chose to fight for the Confederacy," noted Liepa. "Although minuscule in number, compared to the approximately 75,000 Iowans who fought for the Union, the Confederates have an important story to tell, and Connon's exhaustive research fills in an important gap in Iowa Civil War history."
Connon said he made sure the title and cover was as uncontroversial as possible.
Purchasing the book and meeting the author
The book sells for $24.99 and is available through Arcadia Publishing and on-line at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. For more information on the author, visit www.confederatesfromIowa.com.
For those wanting to meet the author, Connon is scheduled to give an author talk and book signing at the Drake Community Library in Grinnell on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.

Booking deadline:
Mathematical modelling has been a key component of both real-time decision-making and longer-term planning for COVID-19 and has been widely used to inform decisions on vaccine strategies. I will discuss our work on developing mathematical models for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, incorporating complexities such as age-based vaccine distribution, and the immunological mechanisms underpinning COVID-19 vaccine protection. I will further describe how we used these models to simulate future vaccine booster dose strategies for COVID-19 in representative country settings, considering the potential future emergence of new variants with modified transmission, immune escape, and severity properties. I will present broad findings and discuss the extent to which future regular vaccine boosting in high-risk populations has the potential to mitigate the global impact of COVID-19.

Crenshaw/LAX Line from airplane, auto emissions vs EPA, Tesla: HWR, March 30
by Steve Hymon , March 30, 2018
Dept. of I'm Back in L.A. after 45 day exile to Ohio!: If you have a window seat on any inbound flight to LAX you can get a view of some part of the Crenshaw/LAX Line that's under construction.
I was on the right side of the plane yesterday that landed on the south runway for this view of the trench for the Crenshaw/LAX Line between the runway and Aviation Boulevard.
If I had been sitting on the left side of my flight I would have had a pretty good view of the newly finished junction of the Crenshaw/LAX and Green Line tracks. The five Green Line stations closed for that work are reopening with the start of service this Sunday morning — one week earlier than originally planned.
The Crenshaw/LAX Line is scheduled to open in fall 2019. Here are some other recent construction pics of the work at the junction.
Quasi-related: I also got a pretty nifty view of the new football stadium rising in Inglewood. That is expected to open for the 2020 season and host the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, 2022, as well as the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2028.
EPA poised to scrap fuel economy targets that are key to curbing global warming — setting up clash with California (LAT)
This news was widely reported across the U.S. on Thursday: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is set to announce that it will roll back fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards that would boost average fuel economy to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
Key graph:
Whether [EPA Administrator] Pruitt can weaken the rules for the entire country is an open question. California, with its history of smog problems and heightened vulnerability to climate change, has unique authority under the Clean Air Act to impose its own standard. The act also permits other states to adopt the California rules, and a dozen have.
As the article correctly notes, this will be a big legal battle — my hunch is that California's emission standards will not be lowered any time soon, if ever.
Of course, fuel economy has improved over the past several decades. Here's the most recent average fleet fuel economy of cars and light trucks in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Transportation:
That's the good news. The not-as-good news is that gasoline consumption has increased in the U.S., along with the number of miles driven in recent years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration:
Bottom line: our air quality in the L.A. region has much improved over the decades but we still exceed federal air standards on many days — and the air outside my east-facing window at the Metro Mothership is looking kind of ghastly as of 12:15 p.m. today.
I believe the air nearest the horizon is the wrong color.
There are a lot of different paths to get to cleaner air and less emissions of greenhouse gases. Adoption of more electric vehicles is one of them. As we've also noted before, generally speaking taking transit instead of driving alone is a good way to lower the greenhouse gas emissions your actions produce.
On the subject of electric vehicles…
Tesla Looked Like the Future. Now Some Ask if It Has One. (NYT)
Here's the Ouch Graph:
"There is a huge part of Tesla that is simply presentation and not substance, and Elon [Musk] is a master at messaging," said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "The problem is the reality is starting to stack up, and that's a reality of accidents the cars have had, quality issues, and massive misses on Model 3 production numbers. You add all that up and there's a real question about whether this company can deliver what it promises."
The gistiness of the article focuses on the recent downgrading of Tesla's credit rating, difficulties getting the Model 3 to market, a recent accident involving Tesla and the company's lack of profitability. It's probably worth mentioning, as attentive Source readers know, that Elon Musk also wants to build car/transit tunnels under L.A. as well as the hyperloop — think a giant vacuum cleaner tube stretched across the landscape — to help hoover people between cities.

Pretty interesting article. As some on social media noted, storage places may not be the absolute best use of land in cities — although there's certainly no shortage of them (such as the one neighboring the Gold Line's Del Mar Station). Then again, I suppose there's nothing stopping a developer from offering to purchase a property and put something else there.

Nice photos from the plane. It's not always easy to get the timing right when doing that, and there isn't much margin for error. The Crenshaw line isn't visible from every landing, though – when the Santa Ana winds are blowing, they have to turn things around and land planes in the opposite direction, from west to east. They also do so between midnight and 6:30am for noise abatement.
There's a self-storage facility with property on both the north and south sides of the Expo Line's La Cienega station, right next to the high-rise mixed-use development that's going up on the corner of Jefferson. I can imagine they'll be bought out sometime in the future, but it sounds like the industry is profitable enough that the owners would sell for a pretty hefty price.
fine7760 says:
Another example of the stupidity of the Obama Administration forcing VW to remove these diesel cars from the road when in fact even with the flaw they are more economical and do not pollute our environment as gasoline powered vehicles.
I certainly would buy one as is. Where do I go?
Somewhere in the Metro archives is the study that "proved" that the Overhead Power Wires (Catenary) for light rail, if placed where the Crenshaw Line is now being built, would produce interference with airplane equipment and cause planes attempting to use Runways 25L and 25R to crash. I am glad you had a safe landing Steve. Welcome home.


Discussion in 'The Projects Forum' started by thebrent, Sep 16, 2012.
I have two separate DC power supplies: one rated at 12 V / 2 A, and a second rated at 3.2 V / 6 A. The motor I am using requires 2.8 V / 2 A. I am modifying the circuit above by using the two different power supplies instead of one, so that I do not have to drop the voltage to power the motors. I am doing this by grounding the source of the MOSFETs to the 3.2 V supply, removing R2 (light bulb), and connecting the outputs of D1-4 to the V+ of the 3.2 V supply. This is then isolated from the 12 V supply powering the ICs by removing the trace between R1 and D1.
When I do this, my power supply begins turning on and off and the motor randomly jitters. Does this outcome make sense to anyone?
"grounding the source of the MOSFETs to the 3.2 V supply"
grounding to the 3.2 volts positive or grounding to the 0 volt connection of the 3.2 volt supply?
Is the 3.2 volt supply sharing the 0 volt (ground) connection with the 12 volt supply?
These questions would not be necessary if you also posted a schematic of "after" the modifications. Can you do that, please? Trying to translate words into a schematic offers a lot of opportunities for errors.
No problem. Please see attached.
EDIT: Sorry, mislabeled the Voltage of the second supply. 3.8 V should be 3.2 V.
Is that a CD4516 and a CD4020 chip?
Not seeing anything obviously wrong, I will have to look up the datasheets and understand the circuit.
Looks ok to me, common the 0v together, does it work ok if you increase the motor supply to 6v or 12v ?
4516 is a binary up/down counter , 4520 is a 14 stage ripple counter.
2. I am using two different power supplies, because of #1.
Do you know what would make a power supply cyclically turn on and off? It sounds like a short to me, but I can not tell where it is.
I should also note that the circuit seems to power up fine when the motor is not connected. As soon as I connect the motor, the issues start.
Thank you. That kind of information is very important. If you have any more like that, keep typing!
I can't see anything wrong with the circuit, as verified by many other people that "have used it for the intended purpose".
I have to go with something like, "you have the wrong motor" or, "you've wired it wrong".
Nothing you didn't know before you got here. Sorry I couldn't point out a simple mistake and get it fixed.
Hmm... Well, thanks for trying :>.
I suppose it is possible I wired the motor incorrectly or it is broken. The only problem is that simply switching the wires would not result in a short.
The only other issue I can think of is that the motor is rated for 2.8 V and I am supplying 3.2 V. But I did not think this would be an issue.


Here's a little story about the power of the new consumer. He's the guy who used to have no power – no information, everything kept a secret from him, all confused about what happened behind the scenes – but today is ripping the roof off traditional real estate models, confusing REALTORS, service providers and vendors worldwide.
Pay close attention, because this is the guy who's going to make your life a lot more complicated when you ask him to buy your services!
Our story begins one cloudy Saturday in Peabody, where yours truly was shopping for a new car. My current lease was set to expire, and after three months of internet research and comparisons, it was time to "do the open house" and actually drive a few models. Arriving at the Acura dealer, I shook hands with a nice, young salesman – well dressed and well mannered. Little did I know that – appearances aside – I was going to sell the car to myself.
As the story usually goes, we sat in the car we thought we were going to buy first. Coming from a larger model for the last two years, I wasn't overly excited about the size. We looked at the SUV (fuel prices are dropping) but it was overkill for my needs. Then, turning the corner in the showroom, we saw it. Our next car.
Just like the buyer who falls in love with "their next house" we had the same emotional experience. The colors were just right. The features were perfect. It was the right size. And it had found the only sunbeam peeking through the clouds to sit beneath.
And, of course, it was way above our anticipated price.
We took the test drive "anyway" because that's what star-struck consumers do. I thought to myself, I'm in trouble now; it's more money than I wanted to spend, but the salesperson already saw my emotional reaction to it! Get out the checkbook.
But then things took a turn for the better – speaking as a consumer, that is: As we test drove the car, I asked a few questions of the salesperson, who told us he had been selling Acuras for a while and cars in general for a few years. Interestingly, each question I asked was met with non-specific answers. Not exactly the specs. Not entirely the features explained. Rarely a benefit attached. I wondered if this salesperson had really ever been in this model before.
I was really trying to be "sold" this car; I gave every opportunity for the salesman to tell me why I should spend more money; why the car met my needs; why it had features that would match my lifestyle; why it had solid resale value. Every question was an "open invitation" to sell me the car. Every response, a complete miss. Not even a near hit.
It reminded me of an open house where it wasn't really the "listing agent" who was present. The salesperson could repeat what the "sticker" or listing sheet said about the product; but he really didn't know the "why and how" it was the right car for us. He didn't try to "sell me" the car because somewhere, someone had told him that customers don't want to be "sold." Interesting.
Back at the dealership, the finance dance began. Armed with my Blackberry, I had already bookmarked the Acura website with the MSRP, plus saved a PDF with real pricing (the MSRP versus the dealer cost). I also had researched the current rebates the dealers were receiving that month. I was the modern consumer. And I was about to do battle with the modern (or so I figured) salesperson.
Salesman's first volley: The sticker price.
Matthew returns fire: Internet price.
Salesman fires back: This model is in high demand.
Matthew displays Wall Street Journal headline on Blackberry: Auto Dealers slump. Bailout?
Salesman offers a price: Slightly higher than anticipated.
Matthew reads aloud: rebates, discounts and dealer cost from Blackberry.
A few more rounds – all polite but increasingly frustrating for the salesperson (I was having fun, actually) we came up with a lease price. It was more than I had originally intended to spend, but it less than an unarmed consumer would otherwise have paid sitting in my chair.
We had a deal; shook hands, waited for the finance manager to come out and try to sell us clear-coating (Aw… gee… the car already had the clear coat on it…) and we left. The plan was to pick up the car on Monday night.
Monday rolls around and I place a call to the finance manager before heading to the dealer. Since I have to trade my existing lease back to the dealer (next door to them, by the way – don't you love consumer choice!) I wanted to make sure the financing was in place before I ended up without my current car and no deal on the new one.
Finance manager: Oh, glad you called. Hmmm. It seems that they have offered you financing at the "different" rate because of tight credit and your current rating. It's still good, but not the best price we had discussed, so the payment will be slightly higher.
Matthew replies: Hmmm. No, that doesn't sound right at all. I'm absolutely the best customer to walk through your door this year. I put a substantial capital-cost-reduction amount down; My income is solid and well documented. I own my home and I have never missed a payment on anything in a decade. By the way, what credit score did they tell you they used?
Finance manager: Um, oh, well, let me see here. They said it was a [insert okay number].
Matthew says: Not a chance. Hold on a moment. (The sound of clicking can be heard as Matthew uses his computer). Ok, I'm logged into my Washington Mutual credit card account, where my FICO score is available on screen in real time. I'm going to read out the last six months to you: [reads amounts significantly higher, for the last six months]. Do you want me to fax or email this to you so you can re-discuss with your finance group?
Finance manager: Um, sure. Fax it to me please. I'll see what I can do.
Matthew: Great! (keystroke – sends it right over the web). Call me back when you have this corrected.
An hour later, Finance Manager called me back. He said there must have been some confusion at the finance group. They must have looked at some "other" score or a partial reading or something. I let him babble on, not believing a word of it, until he got to the point: I was financed at the super-preferred rate at the payment we discussed when I was there two days ago. All set – just come on down and get the car.
I hung up the phone and felt elated. For the first time in decades buying cars, I felt like "the little guy" finally had won. I also felt mad that anyone else would have been taken for a ride – for twenty or thirty bucks more a month – because they didn't know how to get their credit scores or couldn't do it quickly using the internet. These guys actually tried to "push the payments" believing I was un-powered, that I couldn't dispute their "credit check." It must happen all the time. How many car – or home? – payments today are possibly higher than they should be only because the consumer didn't know how to find their own credit scores (or read them)?
The good news, though, is that it will become incresingly less likely for these sneaky tactics to work on the modern consumer. They are just like me – wirelessly connected to pricing data, instantly able to fact-check critical numbers like credit scores. Today, I drive a new Acura RL. It's a dream machine. High tech. Comfortable. Foreign manufactured. Great on gas. And this morning I got the bill for the first payment. It was the price that I wanted; the price I defended; the price that was made possible because I was a modern consumer with the power of the internet.
Watch out! There are more of us out there – buying cars and homes – than you think!

How to deal with Muslim Brotherhood triggers Trump White House infighting
Legitimate political activity complicates designation
by Guy Taylor
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/52167/how-to-deal-with-muslim-brotherhood-triggers
President Trump has — for the time being — put on the back burner an executive order designating the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, according to U.S. officials close to a heated debate inside the administration over the status of the global Islamist movement.
While the White House has declined to comment publicly, officials speaking on condition of anonymity say the administration backed down from a plan to designate the Brotherhood last month after an internal State Department memo advised against it because of the movement's loose-knit structure and far-flung political ties across the Middle East.
The memo "explained that there's not one monolithic Muslim Brotherhood," according to one of the officials, who told The Washington Times that while the movement may well be tied to such bona fide terrorist groups as Hamas, its more legitimate political activities would complicate the terrorist designation process.

Q: Clarification on how argument data for a vertex function using MTLVertexDescriptor and the [[attribute(n)]] attribute is located Consider the following MSL:
#include <metal_stdlib>
using namespace metal;

struct VertexIn {
    float3 position     [[attribute(0)]];
    float3 normal       [[attribute(1)]];
    float3 color        [[attribute(2)]];
};

// Void just for demonstration
vertex void vertexFunc(const VertexIn vIn [[stage_in]]) {}

The concept of MTLBuffer objects and MTLVertexDescriptor objects is clear: the latter describes how data for a Metal struct (VertexIn in this case) is distributed among different MTLBuffer objects. Then, adding the [[stage_in]] attribute to the argument into a vertex function with the struct's type, an instance is created with the struct's members matched to the data.
I have one question: does [[stage_in]] automatically offset the buffer by the total size of all attributes using a particular buffer (totalSize) by totalSize * [[vertex_id]] within each MTLBuffer before binding the struct's members to the data with the attribute layout information? I figure this must happen, but I haven't yet found anything mentioning if/how/when this occurs with [[stage_in]].
For example, if we used
let descriptor = MTLVertexDescriptor()

// Position
descriptor.attributes[0].format = .float3
descriptor.attributes[0].bufferIndex = 0
descriptor.attributes[0].offset = 0

// Normal
descriptor.attributes[1].format = .float3
descriptor.attributes[1].bufferIndex = 0
descriptor.attributes[1].offset = MemoryLayout<vector_float3>.stride

// Color
descriptor.attributes[2].format = .float3
descriptor.attributes[2].bufferIndex = 1
descriptor.attributes[2].offset = 0

descriptor.layouts[0].stride = 2 * MemoryLayout<vector_float3>.stride
descriptor.layouts[1].stride = MemoryLayout<vector_float3>.stride

and set two buffers, one with the interleaved position and normal data and the other with color data, would the vertex shader receive the nth vertex's data at (buffer0Start) + n * (sizeof(float3) + sizeof(float3)) in buffer 0 and (buffer1Start) + n * (sizeof(float3)) in buffer 1 with [[stage_in]]?

A: It appears that this is the case. Section 5.2.4, page 87 of Apple's "Metal Shading Language Specification" Version 2.2 reads

A vertex function can read per-vertex inputs by indexing into
buffer(s) passed as arguments to the vertex function using the vertex
and instance IDs. To assemble per-vertex inputs and pass them as
arguments to a vertex function, declare the inputs with the
[[stage_in]] attribute.

Control Z Season 2: Renewal Status, Plot Details, Release Date & More
By Khyati Gautam
After the imminent success of its season one, Netflix's series Control Z Season 2 is in the news. The Mexican teen drama series premiered on May 22, 2020. Shortly after its release, the fans are eager to know about the renewal status of season two. Is there any potential sequel for Control Z possible?
Control Z is based on an interesting premise of hacking. During the morning assembly at Colegio Nacional, a hacker exposes the secret of one of the students who is secretly transgender. The hacker goes on to spill more beans about other students evoking panic and fear. Sofia Herrera takes charge of uncovering this anonymous hacker before her secret comes out of the closet. The students want to get down to the root of this scam, which is set to ruin their lives. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming season of Control Z.
Will There Be Control Z Season 2? Renewal Status
If you have watched season one, you would know that season two has definite potential. While season one is currently streaming on Netflix, the fans are dying to learn about season two of this addictive series. Netflix has hinted toward renewing the series for the second installment on May 29. However, a formal announcement is yet to come.
Netflix might follow the previous pattern and announce the arrival of a new season after a few months. Considering the outstanding success and viewership of season one, it is obvious that there will be a season two. Also, season one left with an abrupt ending with too many questions. This leads to the apparent renewal of the second installment of Control Z.
What Can You Expect From Control Z Season 2?
Season one of Control Z ended with the revealing of the hacker's identity. It happened to be Raul, who does everything to expose his friends. Season two might see if Raul pays for his actions. It may also investigate the motive of Raul behind doing this. Might it also bring just another hacker into the dirty picture?
We also saw Sophia's love Javier, getting shot by Gerry. It would be interesting to see if he survives. Maria is expecting a child with Pablo, and we will see how she deals with this.
Will The Cast Return For Control Z Season 2?
Some of the main characters might be missing in season two. Javier got shot, and so, his fate hangs in the balance. A student, Luis died after a prolonged time in a coma. Sophia will likely return with Pablo, Raul, Isabela, and Natalia. The fans have loved the characters in season one, and they are waiting to see them again in season two. Moreover, the audience would also see some new faces joining the next run.
When Will The Show Return?
If Control Z is greenlit for season two, it will likely release in fall of 2021. However, if we assess the effects of the global pandemic, it might stretch to as far as 2022. The teen drama has generated a lot of hype and is giving rise to a huge fanbase. Naturally, season 2 will come, and we hope it comes soon.
For all the latest updates on Control Z Season 2, stay tuned with us.

January 23, 1942 – Busy day on war fronts. From Batavia, the latest communique from the Netherlands/Indies fighting forces outlined a series of attacks which took place the previous morning on a northern seaport in Sumatra. Sixteen persons were wounded and the attacks were carried out by six Japanese aircraft which dropped some sixty bombs. Later, the port city was again bombed; this time, by three Japanese aircraft. Damage was done to some warehouses and ships, but no casualties. The two raids made a total of four raids by the Japanese in four days. It was construed as the precursor to a Japanese invasion at almost any time. Meanwhile, American and Netherlands Royal Air Force fighters and bombers attacked several ships off Batavia, sinking at least one Battleship, a heavy cruiser, a regular cruiser and one transport ship. In total, 12 direct hits were scored on some 8 ships – there were no allied losses.
Meanwhile, news from Russia reported Ski troops were making their way across waist-high snow drifts on the Moscow front in their pursuit of retreating German armies. Russian vanguards were said to have intercepted the Germans west of Borodino and claimed to have spread terror and confusion in the Nazi ranks.
In London, word from authoritative quarters said the news from Singapore meant a general withdrawal of British forces from Malaya at all poins of resistance. The British were falling back on east, west and center and Japanese were apparently trying to snap a pincer movement to cut off retreating British forces. Further reports indicated heavy fighting along the Singapore front with Japanese air attacks against Imperial troops said to be heavy. It was assessed that the Japanese were making steady progress, but that their exact positions were unknown.
And that's just a small slice of the news being reported, this January 23, 1942 by NBC Red Network's News Of The World.

Attacks, Counter-Attacks And Shakeups – July 2, 1941


Studies have shown that there is a mind-body connection. It is known that stress can cause headaches, muscle aches, tummy aches, and blisters! For those affected by pemphigus and pemphigoid (P/P), when your stress levels are high, the antibodies know when it is time to come out and play. Horrors! It is easier said than done to remain calm and stress-free.
Have you experienced when you have a headache and you worry more about something and the headache gets worse? That is an example of the mind-body connection.
The brain signals the immune system, and we never know until after it happens. In order to ward off these signals, it is important for patients to remain even-minded. HA! You say! You're right! However, there are ways for us to get better at this. It just takes practice.
Meditation can be very helpful. Even if only for 5 minutes at a time. Never feel that you must sit in a lotus position and keep stiff for an hour! That is not what meditation is about!
There are a lot of meditation videos on YouTube that you could take a look at. Just type in the word "Meditation" and a lot of suggestions come up!
Breathing exercises are a great way to help keep your blood pressure down. They help to bring a sense of calmness to envelope you. Essentially, you are inhaling slowly to a count of 10 or 20 and holding the breath for 10 or 20 and then exhaling slowly for 10 or 20. When you exhale, think of a happy word (like an affirmation) ie: joy or peace.
Having a flare after being in remission can be a scary and frustrating experience. Thoughts run through your head about your previous experiences and you may wonder if your disease will be as bad as it was before. When you have the flare, it is important to recognize it and take the challenge head-on. It's easy to become stressed from the uncertainty and lack of control, but remember that stressing will only make things worse. Here are some tips to reduce the intensity and time that you may have the flare.
1. Schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately.
2. Have your doctor give you a clinical diagnosis or get a biopsy done to confirm the flare. There are many differential diagnoses for your disease so you want to be sure it is what you suspect.
3. Discuss with your doctor a treatment strategy and begin right away.
4. Track your disease activity in a log, this will help you determine if you condition is improving.
5. Follow up with your doctor regularly and advocate for yourself. Seeing your doctor every 4-6 weeks is recommended. If you have an aggressive flare you may need to see your doctor more frequently.
6. If you need support, contact the IPPF and talk with a Peer Health Coach. Coaches are available to answer questions and help you decide how to best handle your flare.
It is common for flares not to be as intense as your first experience with the disease, but all patients have different experiences. The important thing is to be proactive and stabilize the disease activity as soon as possible. Flares are part of living with pemphigus and pemphigoid but if they are handled quickly and with a positive attitude you can eliminate them sooner.
Remember, if you have questions to "Ask a Coach" because when you need us we are in your corner!
People often have a difficult time understanding what hypnosis and hypnotherapy are and what their purpose might be. If you've ever been to a fair and a hypnotist asks someone to "cluck like a chicken," and they do, the individual clucking knows exactly what he/she is doing. They may not care that they look silly because they are so relaxed from the hypnosis.
If you notice, there is usually always someone who won't perform – these actions indicate that a person cannot do anything against their nature. In a less public setting, the practice of hypnotherapy is a valuable and positive method of helping people cope with many different and difficult issues.
Hypnosis is the process a hypnotherapist uses to help a patient find answers to issues that they are having trouble controlling. But what is hypnosis?
Most agree that it is a naturally altered state of consciousness. As defined by Gil Boyne, one of the leaders in hypnotherapy, it is "an extraordinary quality of mental, physical and emotional relaxation." Many studies have shown that a person in hypnosis may show psychological and physiological changes that can be beneficial.
We all experience a form of hypnosis when we find ourselves "lost in the moment." If you're driving down the road listening to the radio and you notice that you've gone three exits without even realizing it – that is a form of hypnosis. Or, if you're on your computer and in such a deep state of concentration that you don't even hear the noises around you – that, too, is a form of hypnosis. What a hypnotherapist does is take you into that natural state of intense concentration and relaxation.
What is Stress? Stress is something we all deal with on a daily basis. Stress can be a good for alerting us to dangers. A rush of adrenaline can give you amazing strength and can help get you through physical and emotional challenges. If you diagnosed with a life-threatening disease like pemphigus or pemphigoid, stress levels may increase substantially, and for a sustained period of time. The issues that confront us can be overwhelming. Not only are we dealing with the illness itself, but the issues that come with it.
How can I live successfully with the drugs which can in themselves increase my stress levels? How is this affecting my family? Will I have the financial resources needed?.
All these issues elevate our stress levels substantially. But what does that mean physically? Stress over a lengthy period can raise blood pressure, cause irritability, cause our thoughts to race, and many other problems. Many of us turn to drug therapy – both prescription or non-prescription to reduce the symptoms, while some of us look for alternative methods to augment drug therapy — these alternative methods include acupuncture, yoga, exercise, meditation and hypnosis.
What does hypnosis do that the other alternative stress reducing methods don't? If you find the right hypnotherapist, someone you trust, you use your mind, your imagination, and your trust that the person you are working with can help you alter any negative thoughts or habits that plague you. The techniques the hypnotherapist uses are proactive approaches, meaning that you follow the suggestions of the therapist and use your subconscious to perceive your issues in a different way.
There are definitely good and bad hypnotherapists, and there are places to go to find one — the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (www.asch.net) is an example of one. But often as with a traditional therapist, you use your instincts in your initial interview to know whether that person is right for you.
I became interested in hypnosis many years ago. Since pemphigus and pemphigoid are autoimmune diseases (diseases of the self), I thought if I could learn all that I could about pemphigus and how the disease worked, maybe I could "talk myself out of it." Unfortunately, my situation precluded me from furthering my quest. However, I learned to meditate, which helped with the side effects of prednisone. A 30mg dose every day for 3 years worked well and put me in remission..
At this point, I was able to put the theory that I could control my own body on hold. Some years later, when the disease returned, I again started thinking whether hypnosis could help. I searched the Internet looking for any literature on the subject and came across a small study that was performed by Dr. Francisco Tausch at Johns Hopkins University, on hypnosis and psoriasis..
I invited Dr. Tausch to speak at the 2005 IPPF Annual Meeting in Arlington, Virginia, on this subject because his research indicated that hypnosis might be helpful in treating psoriasis.
Regrettably, his work on the possible connection was not yet complete. Could hypnosis help with pemphigus and pemphigoid? That is an unanswered question. However, from my two years preparing for my certification, and from my practice of hypnotherapy, I have learned for myself and from several people I've worked with that it reduces stress levels. This can open up one's ability to look at life in a different way. I've been in remission — no drugs – from PV for 12 years but I have a high anti-Dsg3 titer count, making me very susceptible to lesions. Hypnosis has helped me reduce my stress so that I can notice my triggers if I get an oral lesion (which I do from time to time). As with any case study, it is not clear if the hypnosis has helped me to be successful in remission and to have a minimal, manageable number of lesions, but I believe that the power of hypnosis has allowed me to take some control over my body.
Because doctors often cannot spend a lot of time with an individual patient, the emotional component to treatment (their bedside manner) is often minimal. Hynotherapy can be an extremely helpful factor in the emotional recovery of people with illnesses. When we are under stress because of an illness, our perspectives change. We tend to view things differently — whether positive or negative. We notice changes in our bodies we might not have noticed otherwise. What hypnosis can do with stress (and also pain) is to reduce its intensity and often change our perceptions of our feelings.
We often tend to ignore our emotional needs when faced with disease. We hide our feelings making them less important than our physical state. As humans, we are all physical, emotional and spiritual beings. The only way to really bring health and well-being in a time of crisis is to acknowledge when dealing with illness, we must deal with the whole person.

The SHEro's Journey Application
SHEro's Journey is a youth empowerment initiative from the International Storytelling Center for girls aged 10-13. Through a series of educational and motivational—and fun!—workshops, kids get the opportunity to tap into the power of storytelling. Using familiar fairy tales and fables as the base, we'll explore how these narratives shape our culture. Girls will also get the opportunity to creatively explore their own narratives as we pair young people with trained storytellers and teaching artists to break down barriers and brighten our communities.

Five years ago, things were awesome and Emmett, (Chris Pratt) Lucy, (Elizabeth Banks) Batman (Will Arnett) and the gang had just saved Bricksburg from total destruction. Now they face a foe from the Sis-star system that destroys everything they've worked so hard for. When all of Emmett's friends get kidnapped, he goes off to try to save them and runs into All The generic action heroes Chris Pratt has played Rex along the way.
Ahh, the original Lego Movie. Back in 2014 when Chris Pratt didn't annoy me, they had a hilariously stupid song, and the film was funny and surpassed everyone's expectations. Now we're in 2019. Chris Pratt is annoying, their theme song is stupid without the funny, and the only thing that remains great is the animation. This is a sequel that's not worth the theater view.
I realize I had some bias going into this because ever since Jurassic World came out I have not been able to stomach Pratt and unfortunately a big chunk of this movie is Pratt talking to himself since he voices two characters. Unlike the original, Lego Movie 2 resorts to several musical numbers that don't benefit the story telling, but are there simply because it feels like the writers couldn't think of anything else. They make the film feel longer than necessary and by the time we got to the 3rd act, I was practically begging for this to be over. Even though this film is only 90 minutes long, It felt like it was over two hours.
The animation is still very good, but that isn't enough to carry the tired plot. The ultimate lesson they teach is cute and I felt like it shouldn't have been this hard to tell a story around it. The laughs were so few and far between.
I did worry that the sequel was going to be a flop! I reeeeaaaaally loved the original though so I'm trying to stay optimistic! It can't be as bad as Jurassic World 2...can it?
I didn't even bother with that mess. I hated Jurassic World.
NOOOOOOO!!!! I have been so excited to see this but feared this would be the case, especially since hearing the awful new song. Even my kids were not having it.
LOL! I was let down by Incredibles 2 because it felt like it didn't try at all to do anything different. I quite liked Wreck it Ralph, but mostly because the Princess scene was almost too perfect.
That was the only part of Wreck it 2 that I liked. That scene was amazing, the rest flopped for me.
I still haven't seen this. I loved The Lego Movie and liked Lego Batman. But I did think Lego Batman was a little exhausting and more hyperactive with its humor. I've heard this movie is more in the Lego Batman vein.
Oh GAWD that's terrible. I kind of hated LEGO Batman, which is why I was excited for this because I hoped it would be a return to form.
This is a lot more like Lego Batman structure wise, but worse because Batman actually had a consistent plot that didn't need filler like this one does.
I'm going to wait for it on TV. I wanted to see it as I enjoyed the first film and LEGO Batman but I too have been annoyed by Chris Pratt. Especially as he's now chosen to get into a fight with the Tiny Canadian Destroyer. He's not going to win that fight.
Lego Batman is soooo much better than this.
Couldn't agree more. This f--ker was begging me to fall asleep during it (which I may or may not have done).
My kids dug it...so there's that. They should just give Supes and Green Lantern their own spin-off and call it a day.
No kidding, they could probably carry a film without resorting to musical numbers that don't quite fit.
I didn't even write a review for this because there so little to say. The film just sort of plays, finishes and then you leave the cinema never to give it a second thought. In the end, I jst got bored like you did.
I was debating if I should see this in the cinema, but I'm going to skip it for now. I want to be excited for it because I adored The LEGO Movie, but I'm just not feeling this one anymore.
This is definitely a DVD watch. I loved the original too but this can't compete.

Ben & Franklin's Safe Super Sunday – Utica NY | Scalzo, Zogby, & Wittig, Inc.
It's an exciting time of the year for sports fans as the NFL's Wildcard teams advance to the quarter-finals this weekend. And then the semi-finals and the Super Bowl on February 7, 2016. Plus, with football winding down, there's more hockey on the weekends!
So the next few weeks are special and we expect lots of Central New Yorkers hosting home parties and inviting their friends to watch the games. That's why we'd like to remind you that if you are the host during the playoffs or on Super Sunday, don't ruin your good times if any of your guests have a few too many beers.
Enjoy this cartoon, The Big Game: Being a Responsible Party Host, brought to you by the "good sports" of the Insurance Information Institute.
The first thing you can do is encourage your guests to bring a designated driver. Husbands and wives, whose turn is it to be the responsible one this time?
New York State's Social Host Liability applies to negligence in providing alcohol to any person under the age of twenty-one.
It's a good idea for the host to take it easy on the beer to be sure he or she can make the right decisions to keep everyone safe.
So, enjoy watching the playoffs in the next few weeks or even catching a high school or Utica Comet game. But if you're hosting the party, just be careful and have a great time!


An interesting interpretation of the enigmatic film "2001: A Space Odyssey".
I imagine that most of us don't associate ladybirds with the middle of winter in these northern climes. However, perhaps someone can explain the following: One evening about a month ago I noticed a ladybird creeping up the wall next to the lamp on my bedside table. I thought it odd, as it was the middle of winter and besides, how did it get into the house when so few windows are opened?
Imagine my surprise when, earlier this week I saw a ladybird creeping around (the same one? I should have counted the spots – damn) in the same place. Is it a sign? If so what? Perhaps it is a sign that God/fate/providence/supreme being of your choice is fond of playing absurd jokes.
On the subject of cosmic jokes, I can't help but squirm (in a mature and manly way – not a giggly girlish way) with anticipation at the release of the film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Now that Stephen Fry is on board (as the voice of the Guide) it is getting even more interesting. Pencil in the release date of 30th June.

Rogue neighborhood's Wild West days may be numbered

Durango Estates subdivision has posed a number of complications over the years

Durango Estates, a rogue subdivision northwest of Durango, consists of about 420 quarter-acre lots but lacks basic infrastructure like sewer, water and adequate access roads. Some say La Plata County is going to have a problem on its hands – with fire, environmental impacts and damage to a single access road – if it doesn't take control of the situation.
Jerry McBride/Durango Herald
The Wild West-esque days may be coming to an end for a rogue neighborhood northwest of Durango that enjoyed little oversight or regulation for years.
"It's just this no man's land that's not being regulated or governed by the county," said Joe Bodewes, a nearby property owner. "It's never going to fly as a development, but it's a diamond in the rough."
The story of the neighborhood, known as Durango Estates, goes back decades.
Back in the 1970s, a 185-acre property was divided into about 420 quarter-acre lots, near intersection of Junction Creek Road (County Road 204) and County Road 205.
But because the neighborhood was plotted before the county's Building Department was created, none of the standard issues like access roads and necessary infrastructure, i.e., sewer and water, was taken into consideration.
So when the Building Department was later formed, developers had a tough time getting anything approved. The road to the property, for instance, remains incredibly steep and is the only way in or out.
"That's the crux of the issue here," said county spokeswoman Megan Graham. "There's been a number of attempts (to develop) over the years, but nothing has been approved ... because of that underlying inadequacy of infrastructure."
Now, about half the lots are owned by individual private landowners, and the other half are owned by a developer called "Corona," said La Plata County Treasurer Allison Aichele.
Over the years, Corona stopped paying its property taxes on its lots. As a result, La Plata County started taking on tax liens, with the Treasurer's Office responsible for then making a list available for the public to purchase.
Aichele said historically there has been very little interest in purchasing the lots, which cost about $3,500 each, until the past two years when more people started buying property – though she did not have a total amount.
As more people moved into the unregulated neighborhood, nearby neighbors started to report issues with damage to the access road, concerns about fire danger and the environmental impacts of people living in areas with no sewer.
"This is going to become a nightmare if they (the county) keeps selling these tax liens," said Cheryl Albrecht-Harvey, who since 1998 has lived along the access road to Durango Estates, just at the edge of the subdivision.
Cheryl Albrecht-Harvey stands in Durango Estates subdivision, a rogue development northwest of downtown Durango. Albrecht-Harvey, who lives along the access road to the subdivision, says as more people move into the area, problems are becoming evident.
Albrecht-Harvey said two lots are occupied, for the most part, year-round, by people who live in campers. She was unsure what the people did for disposing of human waste.
"The county is creating a bit of a mess they'll have to contend with later if they don't nip it in the bud," she said.
Albrecht-Harvey's husband, Kennan Harvey, said he's asked the two property owners to help maintain the steep access road, especially in winter, but he claimed everyone said no.
"There's been a number of conflicts with people up here," he said. "I sound like a disgruntled neighbor, and to a point I am. No one wants to help with the road."
Harvey also said the people living in Durango Estates are in violation of certain county codes. Graham, however, said the county's code enforcement has not found any violations upon inspection of the properties in the neighborhood.
A mud road runs through the Durango Estates subdivision northwest of Durango.
Craig Bauer, one of the people who live year-round in Durango Estates, said he was unable to comment about whether he was for or against helping maintain the road, citing possible legal complications.
Regardless, Bauer said he doesn't see any issue with the way Durango Estates is.
"I don't think the county has a right to tell an individual what they can do on their own land," he said. "I have a constitutional right to be on my land."
Bauer said the main issue is people trespassing into Durango Estates to access adjacent public lands.
Indeed, on a recent visit, several hikers could be seen walking through the mostly undeveloped neighborhood up to the San Juan National Forest. Graham, however, said while it is a private subdivision, one of the challenges seems to be that there might not be legal access.
"People have been using these trails for 30 years, probably," said Albrecht-Harvey.
With any large-scale development seemingly out of the question because of issues with topography and infrastructure, several neighbors expressed a keen interest in conserving the land and converting it to a park or trail system.
This week, coincidentally, La Plata County commissioners voted to start a process whereby the county could acquire the land. (Right now, the county holds only the tax lien.)
Current property owners would still have the chance to pay their back taxes. But should it fall into county ownership, Commissioner Julie Westendorff also floated the idea of a public park "if that turns out to be a better use of the land."
"Right now, it's an unusable asset," she said.
Any potential future use for land that could come into county ownership in Durango Estates would be a decision for a future Board of County Commissioners, and would go through a public process.

For the first time, staff will have the opportunity to participate in ROAR Friday.
"We were asked by some staff members that they were not sure what a full day ROAR looks like so we are going to be running a mini ROAR for teachers in our staff development day," ROAR sponsor Krysta Schoenbeck said.
ROAR for teachers will be in 45-minute sessions led by team mentors.
"Teachers get to know a little bit more about our students' population and how different things are affecting them," Schoenbeck said.
Schoenbeck would like teachers to learn more about students with this opportunity.
"I hope they learn a lot about our student population. Here we see students on an everyday basis and sometimes we don't get the chance or opportunity to get to know exactly what's going on in some of their lives and what's happening out on social media," Schoenbeck said.
ROAR sponsor Jen Culbertson and Schoenbeck hope ROAR for teachers makes a difference in the community.
"The more teachers, students, and staff we have on board, I think the more ripple effect that we will have within our community," Culbertson said.
Apart from teachers getting the opportunity to learn, Culbertson and Schoenbeck will get to witness ROAR mentors guiding teachers and staff.
"I think it will be interesting to have teens lead adults and I think that will take them to another level of leadership that 'oh, we're not just kids, but we can also help our teachers,' which I think is important," Schoenbeck said.

OGCI Climate Investments, the billion-dollar investment fund created in 2016 by the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), has announced its first Venture Day to be held June 25, 2018, in Washington DC.
Towards Zero Methane Emissions: A Deployment Accelerator is committing up to USD $20 million to technologies and business ideas that have the potential to significantly reduce methane emissions across the energy value chain, by addressing detection, measurement, and mitigation of the potent greenhouse gas.
"Natural gas will play a significant role in the energy transition but to maximize its full potential, we must reduce methane leaks across the natural gas value chain and support the OGCI companies in their commitment to work towards near-zero methane emissions." explained Pratima Rangarajan, CEO of Climate Investments. "There are companies out there who have developed solutions for detection, measurement, and mitigation of methane leaks and our goal is to get them the much needed venture capital so their technology can be piloted and deployed at scale.
OGCI Climate Investments is inviting applicants to submit their funding proposals by May 15, 2018. Ten to 15 of the most promising technologies and business models will be invited by June 5 to present at the Venture Day at the end of the month.
"We are looking for technology proposals in the areas of methane detection, measurement and mitigation that are well on their way to being commercialized and can make a real difference to reducing emissions in one of the three areas or combined," added Ganesh.
The OGCI Venture Day is designed as an opportunity to engage with experts and to discover and challenge some of the best-in-class methane technologies and ideas. Successful applicants will benefit from working with oil and gas majors and other partners who are willing to pilot and deploy these technologies, setting OGCI Climate Investments apart from other competitions.

Q: What is the best way to call module based on the environment in Angular 2 I have 2 environments in Angular 2: dev and prod. I want to create an advanced authentication (includes other services from my project), but I want to create a dummy login in the dev environment.
I'm not an expert in Angular, but I think the best way to do this if I create 2 modules, for example: Login and DummyLogin, and the app calls the corresponding module based on the environment.
My question: Is this the right way of doing it and if so, how can I do this and is it safe enough for using it?
If there is a better solution what would be that?
Thanks

A: Why do want to have a dummyLogin service etc. Do you know what would happen if you deployed that?  anyway have a look here maybe this will help http://tattoocoder.com/angular-cli-using-the-environment-option/


When scaffolding is set up correctly, it provides workers with safe access to both single-story and multilevel building exteriors and interiors.
Whether it's the responsibility of the subcontractor or general contractor to set up a scaffold, one of the first things to consider is the building's design and the kind of work that will be performed. Some of the following scaffold types can be used for the same type of work, so the choice often comes down to budget, the available space around the building and how long the work will take.
Frame. This scaffolding is stationary and built from the ground up. It's a popular and relatively inexpensive option for a long-term project. It's used for a variety of trades like painting and stucco. It can support multiple workers and equipment. It also requires a considerable amount of space around the building, so it's not always an option for limited-access spots.
Ladder jack. A ladder jack scaffold is constructed using two metal devices that when attached to ladders create a stable base for a platform. This is a quick and easy solution, but it's suitable only for light jobs like maintenance or touch-up at no more than ladder height. It is not designed to support the load of multiple crew members or heavy equipment.
Pump jack. This scaffold is supported by moveable brackets on vertical poles. It's easily adjusted, like a car jack, and would work well for small siding and painting jobs or any other task that requires work at variable heights.
Mobile or rolling. This scaffolding is set on castors, so it can be moved easily to another section of work, assuming you have an even surface to be roll it on. It's ideal for exterior and interior finishes where contractors need extended horizontal access along the surface.
A suspended scaffold consists of a platform with a guardrail system that can be raised up and down by ropes connected to an electric motor positioned on the roof. This scaffolding is a good choice when work is located at the exterior upper floors of a building or when the building is so tall that erecting frame scaffolding is not practical. Window washing, repair and other maintenance contractors would use this type of scaffolding.
No matter the type of scaffolding, contractors should follow all the safety rules and Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines for assembly, use and tear-down. OSHA provides a guide for the proper use of scaffolding in the construction industry.

Florida Statute 288.9175 establishes Linkage Institutes between postsecondary institutions in the state of Florida and foreign countries.
The primary purpose of these institutes is to assist in the development of stronger economic, cultural, educational, and social ties between this state and strategic foreign countries through the promotion of expanded public and private dialogue on cooperative research and technical acceptance activities, increased bilateral commerce, student and faculty exchange, cultural exchange, and enhancement of language training skills between the postsecondary institutions in this state and those of selected foreign countries. Each institute must ensure that minority students are afforded an equal opportunity to participate in the exchange programs.
Each institute must be governed by an agreement, approved by the Department of State, between the State University System and the Florida Community College System with the counterpart organization in a foreign country. Each institute must report to the department regarding its program activities, expenditures, and policies.
Each institute must be co-administered in this state by a university or community college partnership, as designated in subsection (5), and must have a private sector and public sector advisory committee. The advisory committee must be representative of the international education and commercial interests of the state and may have members who are native to the foreign country partner. Six members must be appointed by the department. The department must appoint at least one member who is an international educator. The presidents, or their designees, of the participating university and community college must also serve on the advisory committee.
Each institute is allowed to exempt from s .240.1201 up to 25 full-time equivalent students per year from the respective host countries to study in any of the state universities or community colleges in this state as resident students for tuition purposes. The institute directors shall develop criteria, to be approved by the Department of Education, for the selection of these students. Students must return home within 3 years after their tenure of graduate or undergraduate study for a length of time equal to their exemption period.
Each state university and community college linkage institute partner may enter into an agreement for a student exchange program, that requires that the tuition and fees of a student who is enrolled in a state university or community college and who is participating in an exchange program be paid to the university or community college while the student is participating in the exchange program. The agreement may also require that the tuition and fees of a student who is enrolled in a postsecondary institution in a foreign country and who is participating in an exchange program be paid to the foreign institution of enrollment.


Becky D. first learned about Tar Heel Basement Systems through her Real Estate Agent, while she was still in the process of buying her new Winston-Salem, NC home. Becky was really glad she called Tar Heel and very impressed with the entire experience she had with the company. The System Design specialist that came to her home was very thorough. "He was not in any way pushy. Instead, he was very comprehensive, very knowledgeable. He spent two hours walking around the house, crawling in the crawl space, and he didn't try to sell me anything! He just said: 'This is what I have found, this is what we have, this is what it will do for you. I think it will be a good fit, but this is your choice.'" says Becky. After the waterproofing system was installed, he suggested a dehumidifier and explained that a store-bought, generic dehumidifier will require a lot of maintenance, consume a lot of energy and not be very effective. So after struggling for a while with a generic dehumidifier, Becky called Tar Hell again to have a Tar Heel Dehumidifier installed. She's been very happy with the results ever since and very happy with the way Tar Heel Basement Systems handled the entire process. "They have my deepest appreciation," she concludes.
