I have always said "I feel nauseous". My daughter found out that we are supposed to say "nauseated" because nauseous means that we are making others nauseous! I have never heard anyone say they feel nauseated so has the rule changed through common usage?
"Nausea" began to be used to mean "afftected by nausea, feeling sick to one's stomach" shortly after WW2. Some people object to this, but it is established in general prose. There is no ambiguity because "nausea" patterns differently depending on its meaning. When "nauseous" means "sick" it follows a linking verb and a personal subject: "I feel nauseous."
When "nauseous" means "causing nausea" it is often an attributive adjective and the subject is not personal: "This is nauseous medicine."
There's more to it; Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage has 3 pages on the subject.
Sorry, when I wrote "nausea began..." and "nausea patterns differently..." I should have written "nauseous."
This exact issue was mentioned in "Never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore. Her character (correctly) pointed out that "nauseated" is indeed correct. But if everyone says it wrong, is it still wrong?
"Nauseated" indicates that one has completed arrived at the state. "Nauseous" indicates that one is on one's way.


You probably know that you should eat healthy, but that's often easier said than done when the stress of work and life get in the way. Here are four ways to motivate yourself to eat healthy, even when everyday life stacks the odds against your success.
Counting calories, adhering to strict diets and even reading nutritional labels may actually derail your efforts to eat healthy before they begin if the time and effort required causes you to give up. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, there's an effective way to eat healthier that requires little thought or planning: Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables and at least half of the grains you eat whole grains. When you approach healthy eating with simplicity, the ease of it all can motivate you to stick to a strategy that leads towards real lifestyle change.
The temptation not to eat healthy is nearly everywhere, and you'll need a deep-seated mental and emotional commitment to stay motivated in the face of challenge. Ditch the superficial reasons to eat healthy, and attach a meaningful and clear definition to your goal. Are you treating a medical condition? Do you want more energy to play with your kids? A mood boost? To shed extra pounds so you can lead a more active life? Now think about the impact your healthy eating will have on others you care about, whether that's family, friends or your pets. Goal-setting research by LeadershipIQ revealed that identifying a specific reason behind your goal, especially when it extends beyond yourself, is a powerful motivator.
"Exercise and healthy eating are crucial to a healthy lifestyle. Choose activities you enjoy, like going for a walk with your family, joining a sports team, dancing or playing with your children. If you don't have a full 30 minutes, carve out 10 minutes three times a day." Andrea Giancoli, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Researchers at California State University, Sacramento found that how and when you define your healthy eating mission is also critical in maintaining motivation. Be realistic about your current eating habits, what triggers you to eat the foods you do and what small changes you can make that will lead to larger ones over time. For example, if sweets are your Achilles' heel, identify the times you feel most tempted and set goals to resist those exact times — whether it's a few nights a week or the weekend. Once you've conquered that peak time, add another layer to your healthy eating mission. Setting specific sights on what your exact challenges are will keep you motivated to face and conquer them head on.
LeadershipIQ research also indicated that visualizing the goal you're working towards will keep you motivated in the face of challenge. When you're left to choose between a healthy dinner or a fast-food fix, go back to your original reason for striving to eat healthy, and visualize how great that milestone will feel when you reach it. Focusing on the lasting benefit of your hard work will help you resist the short-term satisfaction of eating junk food.

SpiceJet hires 500, most from grounded Jet
April 20, 2019 April 20, 2019 DayAfter
Low-cost carrier SpiceJet has hired as many as 500 pilots, cabin crew, technical and other ground staff in recent weeks with most of them coming from now-grounded Jet Airways.
"As we expand and grow, we are giving first preference to those who have recently lost their jobs due to the unfortunate closure of Jet Airways. We have already provided jobs to more than 100 pilots, more than 200 cabin crew and more than 200 technical and airport staff," said Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, SpiceJet.
He added that SpiceJet will induct a large number of planes soon.
The airline on Thursday said it would induct as many as 27 planes in a record time of less than two weeks. The low-cost carrier is the second biggest carrier by domestic market share of 13.7 per cent (as on Feberuary, 2019).
It has a fleet of 48 Boeing 737s, 27 Bombardier Q-400s and one B737 freighter.
The Gurgaon-based carrier has fast captured the traffic by aggressively expanding its fleet. Following the fall of rival Jet Airways, it has bagged most of the grounded carrier's unused slots.
"SpiceJet has got 24 slots compared to 20 of IndiGo," an airline industry source said.

Abstract: Cd toxicity and problems with regards to tolerance, physiological processes and ecological significance with green seaweeds has been examined in this study. Seaweed Codium iyengarii belongs to chlorophyta which contains highest amount of essential mineral ions [Ca, Fe, K, Na and Mg] collected from Bullijee coastal area of Karachi coast, to control the toxicity of Cd metal in bean plant. Nutritive value and essential ions were determined by visible spectrophotometer, flame photometer and atomic absorption techniques. Microbial counts were determined by standard method. Results indicated that the biosorption of Cd by green seaweed Codium iyengarii was observed. Healthy growth of the plants were recorded up to 100 ppm of Cd concentration which improves in up taking of mineral ions from the soil into the roots and shoots of bean plant. It was observed that seaweed acts as a catalyst starter in soil irrigated with contaminated water. This water contains high percentages of heavy toxic metals that were toxic to the plant and harmful for its nutritive value. Codium iyengarii improves the morphology and physiological processes of plants also. Seaweeds help in the population of soil bacteria in heavy metal contaminated environment.

My family just recently drove down to Florida, it was for my younger sister's 18th birthday and we all went to Disney. Before we left, my counselor wanted me to write down what I think of myself, mainly what I don't like. I know, it sounds crazy right? What type of therapy makes you think about things you hate about yourself? She also said, try to think of ways to change how I feel about the things on my list and after my vacation we will work on my list together. I decided I would try this, it is a very long drive from Michigan to Florida so I would have plenty of time.
Well, I completely forgot to write this list during our drive. It was raining hard most of our drive and although I love the rain, I was worried we'd get in an accident. On Monday, I wrote out my list to give her on Tuesday. I left out all physical things I dislike like my weight, my nose, my acne, I went a different route.
Overall, I just feel like a lazy person. It's why I left out my physical dislikes because those can be changed, I'm just too lazy to do it leaving me to complain and continue to do nothing about it. I honestly wish I could lay in bed all day because I don't want to do anything, not even things that interest me. When I looked over my list I realized my lack of motivation is a cause for most of these.
I wouldn't call it gaining motivation but my list of dislikes made me want to create a list of goals. It's not a long list, I wrote down five things and told myself once I start crossing these off I will add more. I think having too many at once will overwhelm me and I'll never work towards them.
My heath is a big one. I said I don't care about health because well, I just don't. It's not that I keep pushing it back because I'm busy, I just don't care. I should care though, I didn't make caring a goal but I made visiting a doctor a goal. My counselor has said multiple time I need to get into a physician and each time I have said, "Yeah, I'll get to it eventually." I'm trying to make eventually sooner than later. I hope going to the doctor helps a lot, I blame my lack of motivation on having no energy. I'm always tired and I am sick of it. Yes, depression can cause lack of energy and motivation and cause me to not care about things but after looking at my family's health history my counselor wants to rule out other heath issues that could cause these.
I know things won't be fixed over night, how great would that be if they were right? My goals might take time for me to get through because I'm fighting with myself to get up to do things. I'm proud of myself for wanting to finally change things instead of looking at my list and thinking worse and worse things. I'm sure if I would have done that months ago I wouldn't have had the same outcome that I do now.

Electric bus boosts SEC drive for accessibility
An EP14 electric bus from ePowerTrucks has been introduced at the Scottish Events Campus. The 14-seater bus is equipped with a ramp for wheelchair accessibility, and has a 40-mile range which is enough for a full shift at the SEC.
"We operate a shuttle service between the three venues on our campus, using two old style golf buggies," says Robin Cassidy, SEC customer experience coordinator. "However, it wasn't cost-effective, wasn't always pleasant in inclement weather and one of the buggies was becoming less reliable.
"We wanted to invest in a vehicle with more passenger carrying capabilities and which was enclosed, and this one suited our needs perfectly and within budget. Our new service has dramatically improved our shuttle service between venues. As an electric vehicle it is quiet, provides a smooth ride and has zero exhaust emissions."
The 5m-long EP14 bus is designed for large sites such as theme parks, resorts, industrial facilities, stadia, rail stations, caravan parks and airports. It has a maximum range of 40 miles and can handle gradients of up to 20 per cent.

Today we are going to review AOMEI Backupper Standard, its a freeware app which which available for Windows pc users. It not only backups your files but it can backup your folders, hard drives and even your system partition can backed-up with this utility.
While selecting backup it allows you to select which files or what part should be backup and where it should be backup, it allows you to take backup of a single file or folder, backup of a partition or even of whole hard disk.
It comes with a feature called Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which allows you to take backup of Windows installed partition and it can be done without having to shutdown the computer or close open files, and later if anything goes wrong with your system then you will have your Windows OS and other software's back without re-installing them.
One issue which we faced is that it doesnt come with its file viewer whereas most of the other backup program comes with, which means you have to browse and select files using Windows dialog box, it shouldn't be a problem if you have one or two files to take back but if you are going to select multiple files then you might be in trouble and its time consuming as well.
A backup can be saved on your local disk, your network storage or even in external disk, but if you are creating disk clone or partition backup then only option you will have is external drive.
Another which we like in this freeware which you rarely see in any other freeware is to support Incremental Backup and Differential Backup, here on every schedule your full disk or partition is not backed-up, backup of only those data is made in which you had made changes or if you had added any new file then its backup is taken.
Another addition to this program which you rarely see in any other freeware is schedule backups, if you want AOMEI Backupper to take backup on everyday without your effort then it can be done also. You can also ask AOMEI Backupper to take backup on every Sunday or at 30th of every month.
You can also password protect your backup to protect it from unauthorized use, you can also ask AOMEI Backupper to compress your backup files so that you dont use your much space. AOMEI Backupper can also send email notifications to you if backup is successful or failed.
That's all about backup, restoring your backup is also very simple and you can restore your partition, files or folder in a click or two.
The only major issue which we faced is that it doesn't delete old backups which means if you have old backup files instead of deleting while creating new one, it just add another file and older one remain there which uses your disk space.
You can download AOMEI Backupper from HERE.

Welcome to our world. I know how you feel I was a Baptist my entire childhood and struggled with the fact that I knew it was all a lie for years.
Welcome Aubrey, My story is very similar to yours. You are starting a wonderful journey.
Welcome to Think Atheist. The sooner you realize the impotence of prayer the better off you will be. You'll save yourself a lot of disappointment.
Thanks guys, nice to know I am not the only one. And Idk If anyone know s more about how prayer doesn't work.
You can catch a fish for the friend in need, teach him/her how to catch his own, or pray they somehow figure out how to fish. If they have any say so in the matter choice number three will be unpopular as hell.
Welcome back to the states. Suggested reading, look into the history of missinary work and revolutionary groups in South America. It is not all humanitarian 'work'.
The continued belief in prayer can be ascribed to three things-- the selection bias, the 'self-fufilling prophecy', and the 'God works in Mysterious Ways' fallacy.
Selection bias is the tendency to believe things that support our existing beliefs. This has been shown to occur in animals as well as in humans, and the resulting beliefs are given the scientific title 'superstitions' (that's right, it's not just a term used to insult believers). Skinner showed that rats and pidgeons would develop superstitions about how to get food or avoid shocks. I developed superstitions about driving a manual-transmition car because no one explained how they worked when I learned to drive one. Similarly, people develop superstition regarding the efficacy of prayer, based on one simple fact; the occasion on which a prayer seems to be 'answerd' is much more salient in the mind than those instances in which the prayer was not answered. Studies of the efficacy of prayer have shown that they tend to be 'answered' approximately as often as they would if it were pure coincidence (this isn't 50% of the time, since different requests have different natural frequencies of occurence in the real world, such as hoping for a raise at work versus hoping for an incurable disease to go away; both occur naturally, but with wildly different frequency). However, anyone can attest to the fact that believers in prayer are much more likely to tell you a story about when a prayer was answered than when one wasn't (and in the latter case, it's usually as a prelude to the 'Mysterious ways' bit, which I'll come to). If you're praying all the time, hoping for the natural order to be re-arranged in your favor, of course you'll notice when things happen to go your way. Furthermore, prayer keeps the mind away from undesirable outcomes; you're either thinking about what you'd like to happen, or realizing that it has happened. When things aren't going your way, you naturally start thinking/praying about how they could, so less importance is assigned to bad events in memory. It's easier to stay positive when you think you have a way to change things, even when your powerless, and the belief in prayer is one way to maintain that positive attitude, regardless of baseless it is.
The second factor, the self-fufilling prophecy, has also been demonstrated scientifically in a number of ways. One way is in a sub-set of the studies I mentioned above about the efficacy of prayer, the sub-set that believers who want to argue about prayer often take to represent the whole of the research on prayer, drawing the conclusion that prayer has been scientifically proven to be effective. This sub-set of studies includes all those in which the tests were not conducted in the 'blind' setting normally used in determining relationships and causality. In other words, the subjects of these studies knew they were being prayed for, as opposed to blind studies in which the object of a prayer didn't know he/she/it was being prayed for. In these cases, prayer showed a statistically significant effect on outcomes, indicating not that prayer works, but that the belief in prayer can change outcomes. Hospital patients who are told that they're being prayed for can internalize that belief enough for it to positively affect their bodies' recoveries or immune responses, leading to faster recovery. Another way the self-fufilling prophecy works is when the believer makes things happen that lead to a prayer being answered and attribute the motivation, skill, talent or opportunity to do so to divine intervention. Such reasoning is impossible to argue against, but when viewed objectively, it's really proof of human efficacy, not the efficacy of prayer.
The final strip of duct-tape on the believer's airtight seal against logic is the 'Mysterious ways' arguement that I've alluded to. No person who ever turns a critical eye on the practice of prayer can help but notice that not all prayers are answered, no matter what his belief on its efficacy. Thus, people who want to continue believing in prayer but who need to explain this fact to themselves engage in an insidious logical fallacy; 'top-down reasoning', or the act of inventing explanations to fit pre-existing beliefs. For a time, I told myself that all my prayers weren't answered because I was not a perfect person, and thus got just as many prayers answered as I deserved. I immagine this is more common than most churchies would like to admit, but we're talking about a different made-up explanation here, embodied in the phrase 'God works in mysterious ways'. This in itself represents a despicably irrational way of viewing the world, attributing any event to a certain pre-determined cause instead of seeking out the real causal chain. As I mentioned earlier, the potent combination of the 'undeserving' attitude and the 'mysterious ways' idea often results in believers inventing fantastical tales of how their prayers going unanswered was actually a blessing in disguise, a trial specifically tailored to their needs as a person. This again represents a case of explanations being invented to suit the facts (any trial in life will teach a person things; it's easy, then, to say that God wanted to help me grow).
Unfortunately, this all adds up to a pretty impenetrable logical black hole, with fallicious, irrefutable arguements that believers can talk circles with no matter how you come at them. What matters is that you have recognized this pattern and can now take an objective view of such things, and that you then replace the quagmire of wasted resources and good intentions that is prayer with the solid actions that constitute a real, proactive approach to solving your problems.
Regarding the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. Even if prayer works, if it does it has nothing to do with the existence of a god but shows the importance of optimism in outcomes. Optimism can be achieved in ways other than prayer.
Ah that make sense....thanks for you input!

Michael Cohen Sues U.S., Trump Over Alleged Book Retaliation
Chris Dolmetsch
(Bloomberg) -- Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen sued the U.S. government and Donald Trump for revoking his home confinement in alleged retaliation for publishing a book.
The lawsuit, which also names former Attorney General William Barr as a defendant, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Cohen says the efforts to quash the book was "one instance in a long line of retaliatory measures" taken by Trump, his family and associates, "in the weaponization of his administration against his enemies" -- noting attempts to stop similar books by John Bolton and Trump's niece Mary.
Cohen finished his three-year prison sentence last month. He was initially released to home confinement in May 2020 until the Bureau of Prisons briefly reincarcerated him at Otisville Correctional Facility in upstate New York when he refused to sign an agreement that would have prevented him from speaking to the media or publishing the book.
Representatives for the Justice Department and Trump didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein ordered the government to return Cohen to home confinement, saying that his transfer back into custody was "retaliatory in response to Cohen desiring to exercise his First Amendment rights to publish a book critical of the president and to discuss the book on social media."

Ukraine's President Wowed Congress, But His Party Has a Dark Side
Activists and opponents warn that Poroshenko's embrace of ultra-rightists plays into the hands of Vladimir Putin.
Anna Nemtsova
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 2:51PM ET / Published Sep. 19, 2014 12:00AM ET
Jim Watson/AFP/Getty
MOSCOW — You couldn't say Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko understated the Russian threat when he addressed the U.S. Congress on Thursday.
"If they are not stopped now, they will cross European borders and spread throughout the globe," he warned. And the American politicians answered his speech with standing ovations. This war, said Poroshenko, is a "choice between civilization and barbarism." (More enthusiastic applause.)
Unfortunately, back on the ground in Ukraine the issue is not as clear as all that. Poroshenko is building a new political coalition, and quite a few barbarians have been joining in.
Experts who monitor ultra-right-wing groups and hate crimes have sent an open letter asking Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a key Poroshenko supporter, to exclude several Ukrainian nationalist leaders from his newly founded People's Front party. These activists reminded Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko that some of the public figures appointed as the party candidates for the upcoming October parliamentary elections are openly anti-Semitic and are not known to have renounced their views. They promote radical Ukrainian nationalism, racism and neo-Nazi ideology—the heady brew of loathsome doctrines that Russian President Vladimir Putin and his backers have warned about since the February change of power in Kiev.
In photographs of the recent party congress, Yatsenyuk and former acting President Alexander Turchnov stood shoulder to shoulder with Andrei Biletsky, a leader in the far-right Patriots of Ukraine and the Social-Nationalist Assembly.
These groups are known for brawling, attacking public figures, and various hate crimes. Before the Russian-backed rebellion in eastern Ukraine most were regarded as little more than hooligans. But in the face of Russia's threats, Biletsky and other far-right figures have been transformed from fringe personalities into national heroes.
The volunteer battalion Biletsky serves with, Azov, counts a few hundred armed militants. "We don't deny that a majority of our guys are Ukrainian patriots," Biletsky said in a recent interview, published on Azov's Facebook page. Western volunteers also supported Biletsky, he said: "Brits, Italians, Swedes, Russians, Belarusians, some Greeks, Croats and Poles. Foreigners are our elite forces." The battalion's symbol is a modified swastika, although for the record the group denies it is Nazi-inspired.
The more moderate opposition has criticized Poroshenko for seeming to welcome the "Nazi" partners while using them as cannon fodder in the war against Moscow and pro-Russian separatists.
In a recent interview with The Daily Beast in Kiev, Grigory Nemira, head of the European integration committee in the Ukraine parliament and a close ally of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, said that Poroshenko preferred to delegate the responsibility for what happened on the front lines to volunteer commanders and not the defense ministry.
"The president still has not appointed a chief of staff for the armed forces," said Nemira. "He has not admitted we are in a state of war, preferring to throw the battalions like Azov into the most dangerous combat zones, where authorities would not have the courage to send regular troops."
The price these supposedly heroic battalion commanders demanded for their combat roles is representation in parliament. Russian forces have killed dozens of volunteer soldiers in recent battles, Biletsky said earlier this month, and "those who made a major sacrifice deserve to be represented in power." His battalion fighters, some wearing undisguised swastika tattoos, often express anti-Semitic views. But that did not stop hundreds of Ukrainians from pushing "like" under Facebook photographs of Biletsky and his men.
The "Military Council" of the People's Front welcomed a commander of the Dnper-1 Battalion, Yuri Birch. Andriy Parubiy, a co-founder of Patriots of Ukraine back in the 1990s, also has found a role in the pro-Poroshenko camp. He and a few other activists were tried for beating demonstrators in Lviv on November 7, 1997. During the February uprising on Maidan square, he worked closely with far-right groups as a commander of the Maidan self-defense troops. Last year, Patriots of Ukraine supporters and Biletsky were accused of attempting to kill journalist Sergei Kolesnik. He was detained but never convicted. Other supporters of the organization were jailed in 2011 for preparing a terrorist act.
Yet the embrace of such figures has not immunized Poroshenko from attack by other ultra-nationalists.
On Thursday, Dmitry Yarosh, the leader of the Right Sector, threatened Poroshenko with a military coup. On one of his social network pages Yarosh demanded Poroshenko make major changes in the ministry of interior.
"If our demands are not met in 48 hours, we'll have to withdraw our units from the front lines, declare a mass mobilization of battalions and begin to march on Kiev," Yarosh said.
In the open letter that the experts on hate crime sent to Prime Minister Yatsenyuk they called on him and, by extension, Poroshenko to prevent Biletsky's political career from gaining traction and thus discrediting Ukraine: "Considering the fact that Biletsky still has not publically denied his misanthropic, anti-liberal, anti-European and openly racist ideology, we strongly recommend you not to present him as a candidate for your party." The researchers—Aleksander Bindert, Pavel Klimenko, Galina Koinash, and Viacheskav Likhachev—cited calls by Biletsky's group for "an iron tyrant who could destroy foreign power" while defending the "Ukrainian Nation and White Power." And the letter, along with other critiques, may have had an impact. Yatsenyuk has announced that his party will now go into the elections, reluctantly, on a list separate from Poroshenko's.
"By making men like Biletsky his partners, Poroshenko gives Putin's propagandists a true reason—actual facts—to say that Kiev is fascist," said Nemira. But in today's Ukraine, where people are exhausted by the war and looking for a strong hand in power to keep the country from falling apart, Biletsky's combat-hardened figure in camouflage strikes many as more appealing than, say, the longtime wearer of famous blonde braids, Yulia Tymoshenko. The election will show whose popularity prevails.

South of it are Colorado and Utah; on the west, Utah, Idaho, and Montana; on the north, Montana; and on the east, Dakota and Nebraska. The area is 97,890 square miles.
The surface is greatly diversified. Its mean elevation is great, being probably not less than 6400 feet. The lowest portions of the Territory are along the northern and eastern borders, where in several places the surface is less than 5000 feet above sea-level, while its highest points exceed 13,000 feet. By far the greater part consists of high plains, which are broken by numerous mountain ranges and ridges, which form parts of the Rocky Mountain system. This system enters the Territory in the south-eastern part, and traverses it in a north-west direction. On the south it consists of three members, the Laramie range, which is crossed by the Union Pacific railroad at Sherman, and the Medicine Bow and Park ranges, which separate branches of the North Platte river. These ranges run out and fall down into the plain in the southern part of the Territory, leaving for 150 miles a broad flat plateau to re-present the Rocky Mountain system. The ill-defined sum-mit of this plateau forms the parting between the waters of the Missouri and Colorado. Eastward this plateau slopes to the Great Plains, and westward to the Green river basin, The Union Pacific Railroad traverses it, and therefore the traveller upon this road sees little of the Rocky Mountains except at a distance. Farther north the mountains rise again from this plateau in several ranges. The principal of these is that known as the Wind River range, which in a sense is continued northward beyond the northern boundary of the Territory by the Absaroka range. The former contains the most elevated land in the Territory, its highest peak being Fremont's, with an elevation of 13,790 feet. The latter range is in its southern part a great volcanic plateau, elevated 10,000 to 11,000 feet above the sea, while farther north it is eroded into very rugged mountain forms. About the point where these ranges join, there is a confused mass of mountains of great breadth and considerable height. In this elevated mass rise streams flowing to the Atlantic, the Gulf of California, and the Pacific. The highest peaks of these mountains are those known as the Three Tétons, the most elevated of which, Mount Hayden, has an altitude of 13,691 feet. East of the Wind River and Absaroka ranges, and separated from them by the valley of the Wind River and the Big Horn basin, is the range known as the Big Horn Mountains, which is reputed to contain peaks having an altitude of 12,000 feet. These ranges form the backbone of the Territory. Eastward from the Big Horn and Laramie ranges stretch the plains in an almost unbroken expanse, gently sloping to the eastward from an altitude of about 6000 feet at the base of the mountains, while south-west of the Wind River range is spread the expanse of the Green river basin, through which flows the principal fork of the Colorado.
Rivers. The drainage system of Wyoming is somewhat complex. While the mountainous regions are well watered by numerous streams, the broad valleys and the plains are poorly supplied with streams. Many of those which flow full in the mountains during the entire year run dry in summer upon the plains. None of the streams are navigable. The eastern three-fourths of the Territory is drained by the tributaries of the Missouri to the Atlantic. Of this area the North Platte drains the southern portion of the Rocky Mountain system, together with a large part of the plains lying north and east of it. Farther northward and eastward the plains are drained by the Cheyenne river. The eastern face of the Big Horn mountains is drained by the Powder and Tongue rivers, while from its western slopes, and from the eastern slopes of the Wind River and Absaroka ranges, the Wind River, known lower down in its course as the Big Horn, collects the waters. The Yellowstone, heading in the confused mass of moun-tains about the north end of the Wind River range, flows northward through a beautiful lake, draining the west slope of the Absaroka range. The Snake, or " Mad " river of the early explorers, heading in the same mass of mountains, flows south-westward to seek an exit from them, while the Green, whose sources are in the same elevated country, drains the west slope of the Wind River range, and flows southward through the broad sage-covered expanse known as the Green river basin. In the south-west corner of the Territory is a small area drained by means of Bear river into Great Salt Lake.
Geology. The geological structure of Wyoming is even more complicated than its surface features. In the north-western corner is an area in which volcanic action, as represented in hot springs and geysers, is still alive, while the evidences of volcanic action upon a tremendous scale, in recent geological time, are seen in the form of sheets of lava and volcanic breccia, which are spread over the land, and from which mountain ranges have been carved. Most of this region is comprised in the YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (q.v.), which has been set apart from settlement by the general Government. Many of the mountain slopes show a succession of the stratified formations, from the Triassic downwards through the series. The plains region is mainly floored by Tertiary and Cretaceous formations, as is also the case with the higher plateaus and with the Green river basin.
Fauna. The native fauna of Wyoming resembles that of the other north-west Territories. The larger quadrupeds, which were formerly very abundant, and which are now not unfrequently to be met with, are the grizzly, black, and cinnamon bears, the North American panther, the elk, the moose, two or three species of deer, and the antelope. Upon the plains are seen the grey wolf and the coyote, the jack rabbit, the prairie dog, and the gopher. The buffalo, which was formerly extremely abundant upon the plains, is now practically extinct.
Flora. The eastern plains are mainly grass-covered, but as one goes westward the grass gradually disappears, and gives place to artemisia and greasewood. Forests are confined almost entirely to the mountains, although the high plains in the Yellowstone Park, in the north-western corner of the Territory, are covered with timber. The forests are composed of quaking aspen upon the lower slopes, " > succeeded at greater elevations by pines and spruces, the upper limit of timber in the Territory being about 10,000 feet above the sea.
Climate. Wyoming has, in common with most of the western States, an arid climate. In the arable regions the rainfall is nowhere sufficient for the needs of agriculture, and irrigation is universally practised. The rainfall ranges in this part of the Territory from 8 to 15 inches, being greater in the eastern part and diminishing westward. Upon the mountains it probably reaches, if it does not exceed, 30 inches annually.
The temperature ranges with the elevation. Upon the plains and plateaus and in the valleys (this comprising nearly all the habitable parts of Wyoming) the annual temperature is between 40° and 50° F. Upon the mountains it diminishes until at an altitude of 10,000 feet it reaches approximately the freezing point.
At the last census (1880) the Territory contained 20,789 inhabit- Popula-ants. In 1870 there were only 911S, showing an increase of 128 tioa. per cent. The population is now (1888) estimated at not far from 40,000. As in all frontier communities, a large proportion con-sists of adult males. In 1880 there were 14,152 males to 6637 females. The proportion of the foreign born was large, there being 5850 of this class to 14,939 natives.
The Territory contains eight counties :—Albany (population 4626), Carbon (3438), Crook (239), Johnson (637), Laramie (6409), Sweet-water (2561), Uinta (2879), and Fremont (formed since 1880). The principal cities are Cheyenne, the capital, which is situated upon the plains, near the east base of the Laramie range (population in 1880, 3456); Laramie City, near the west base of the same range (2696); Rawlins, upon the high plateau forming the continental watershed (1451); and Evanston, in the south-west corner of the Territory (1277).
The industries of Wyoming mainly relate to the raising of cattle Cattle and to mining. The former industry is in proportion to the raising, number of inhabitants very large, and has been until recently ex-tremely profitable. The raising of cattle is carried on at slight expense, the cattle being allowed to range freely over the plains, and little provision is made for feeding and shelter, even in winter, as the loss from exposure and starvation is not sufficiently great to warrant the additional expense. In 1880 the number of cattle was returned as 521 213, and sheep as 450,225. In 1887 the report of the governor states that the number of cattle has increased to 753,648, while that of sheep has slightly diminished, being 421,688.
Mines of gold and silver have been worked to a limited extent Mining, near the east base of the Wind River range and in the north-western part of the Territory, and also at the extreme south, in the Park range, but the production is insignificant. On the other hand, the coal mines of Wyoming are very valuable ; they are mainly situated in the southern part of the Territory, at Carbon, Rock Spring, Almy, and Twin Creek, on or near the Union Pacific Railroad. The production in 1886 was 829,355 tons, valued at $2,488,065.
As in other Territories, the government of Wyoming is under the immediate jurisdiction of the United States, the executive and judicial officers being appointed by the president. The treasurer is appointed by the governor. The Territory has a legislature consisting of two houses, the members of which are elected by the people.
The area of Wyoming was in the main included in the Territory of Louisiana, acquired by the United States by purchase from France. The western part was acquired by prior settlement, as was the case with Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. It was organized as a Territory in 1868. The progress of settlement has until recent years been very slow, owing to the inhospitable character of the country along its southern border, traversed by the Union Pacific railroad, and to the occupation by Indians of the more fertile districts. Latterly, as the Indians have been removed, settlement has progressed more rapidly. (H. G*.)

Peleg: The Middle East Peace Process
Reviewed by Rex Brynen
This edited volume offers a broad range of perspectives on the dynamics of the Madrid/Oslo Arab-Israeli peace process, including its relationship to Israeli attitudes and institutions, its effects on Palestinians and Jordanians, and its economic dimensions. Although many of the articles were first written in 1995, all have been partly updated or completely rewritten to reflect the less optimistic situation following Benjamin Netanyahu's election in May 1996.
As with any edited volume, the chapters in The Middle East Peace Process vary in quality and approach. The lead chapter, by Laura Zittrain Eisenberg and Neil Caplan, sketches a broad historical backdrop to Arab-Israeli peace-making. Two selections examine the relationship between the peace process and the ideological change in Israel. The first, by Mordechai Bar-On, examines debates within Israeli historiography. The second, by Myron Aronoff and Pierre Atlas, explores competing challenges to dominant Zionist discourse. Tamar Hermann and Ephrain Yuchtman-Yaar offer a tightly written analysis of Jewish and Arab attitudes to peace in Israel. At the institutional level, Gad Barzilai presents an extremely interesting treatment of the effect of the Israeli Supreme Court decisions on conflict and the search for peace. By contrast, Stuart Cohen's chapter on civil-military relations is solid but breaks little new ground.
This book was published as part of the SUNY series in Israeli studies. Perhaps as a result, the Palestinians receive somewhat less attention: there is a chapter by JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz on the PLO, and another by Daphne Tsimhoni on Palestinian Christians. Of these, DiGeorgio-Lutz offers little beyond what is already well known. Tsimhoni's chapter is more original, but it is marred by a lack of familiarity with the underlying dynamics of Palestinian nationalist politics. Also notable is what the volume is missing: any real treatment of the emergence and consolidation of the Palestinian Authority, surely one of the most important and striking outcomes of the Oslo agreement. This skewedness is reinforced by the editor's decision to devote as many chapters to Jordan as to the Palestinians: Curtis Ryan describes Jordan's engagement in the peace process, and Aharon Klieman reassesses the Jordanian option in light of Oslo. Moreover, while Klieman underlines both Jordan's interests and its geostrategic importance to any eventual peace settlement, he also suggests a residual fondness for a Jordanian role in Palestine at a time when the Hashimite kingdom has almost completely lost the influence it once had in the West Bank.
The final two chapters of the book address economic issues: the effects of regional integration on labor and the potential peace dividend for Israel. Although many of their points remain valid, reading these chapters does generate a certain nostalgia for the days when regional economic cooperation seemed possible.
Overall, readers' evaluations of the usefulness of this volume are likely to depend on their disciplinary orientation and familiarity with the topics under discussion. I found the chapter by Barzilai to be the most interesting and several others to be worth consideration as undergraduate reading assignments. In short, this is the sort of work that might not interest the specialist but that could be useful to students as a reference book.

GPI Sports – Your Ultimate Sports Guidance
The digitization of sports has caused a tremendous amount of change in the industry. Unlike how the old-fashioned way of playing gave fans access to stadiums and allowed cheering, we see our teams score through screens. Fans have changed their behavior, for they now seek to view matches using different sources. Technology has been vital in enabling most of these new activities, and part of it is killing the original vibe of the game. Fans keep on saying that it's not fun anymore.
Well, that's the downside of it but, there's a brighter aspect of this new era. These changes in sports have been of great help in the overall policies of the industry. Take football, for example; there are different league rules now, which have contributed to fairness. Did you know that to some degree, the competitive spirit has increased? Let's have a deeper look into what has been going on in the world of sports.
The Way We Play
The style of sports has somewhat changed in a way. For starters, we can mention that the direct fans' experience is no longer a thing. That's the central point addressed by sports supporters all over. Moreover, the rules have had some adjustments here and there. This has contributed to the whole new perspective of sports at the moment.
Monitoring of sports activities, for instance, was recently introduced in football, and it's a technology that many leagues have embraced. Although when on hold, the game's momentum stops for a bit, we have to applaud the work of technology. Giving out fair and accurate calls on every foul or possible verdict is something the naked eyes of man cannot do.
The Way We Watch
Supporters have eventually accepted the fact that changes are here to stay. How we consume, sport is changing at an accelerating pace. Previously, it was all about ticketing and TV broadcasting, but even that has a new touch. Tickets are now purchased online, through which you can generate a receipt and head down to the location. On the other hand, there are smart televisions, and you don't need cable to watch a match as long as you're subscribed to the service providers.
Now let's consider the new technology. Tech organizations are coming up with brilliant ideas and devices to enhance the in-match experience such that it'll not be all boring when you stream a game. Through innovation in signage, connectivity, and screens, they can personalize and enhance the experience to the viewers. People can now enjoy streaming matches on their mobile phones! Sponsorship and advertising have also shifted their approach to sports.
The New Era of Sports
As time goes by, more changes are expected, and the more we appreciate these transformations, the better. The current sports will change their policies, rules, and manner of playing, and there is a possibility of emerging sports. Technology has shown how many inventions can be productive if put to good use. We have to embrace the new changes and see fit that their implementation is for the best result of the sport.
Furthermore, we are only fair to ourselves if we say that it's genius to have eyes from different angles. We all want fair play and correct decisions made. We want to see other players come and play in different leagues. We want to see new jerseys and sponsors. We want to see improvements in the stadiums and behind our devices. That's only possible if we take technology positively.

The "Jersey Shore" cast stopped by The Grove to chat with "Extra's" Mario Lopez, where Snooki talked about her recent court appearance, and the rest of the cast offered their opinion on Mike "The Situation's" dance moves.
Snooki appeared before a judge two weeks ago and pled guilty to being intoxicated in public and disturbing the peace -- and the judge called her a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe."
"I thought it was pretty harsh because I'd never been in court before, I'd never been in trouble like that, so for him to like say that to me... I was like, aw man, like really," the reality star elucidated.
One "Jersey" cast member was unable to appear at The Grove. Mike "The Situation" and his infamous abs are currently rehearsing for "Dancing with the Stars."
JWoww said that when she first heard Mike was going to be on "Dancing" she thought, "I'm concerned about his dance moves." Pauly D adding, "It's not fist pumping... It's definitely not fist pumping."
See if "The Situation" has what it takes to take home the disco ball, when "DWTS" premieres Monday on ABC.

Shea Claims to Be General Bopp Supporter But Voted Against His Being Seated-VIDEO
In the final days of her campaign, recently censured Councilwoman Shea struggles to find relevance. After burning through a set of issues including unsubstantiated claims of sign theft and attempting to have her opponent removed from the ballot, Shea is now trumpeting her support for councilman Bopp, who has been in a dispute with the Mayor as to where he will be seated on the dais. Even though all but one council member sided with Bopp at the Council's last meeting, Shea is attempting to make it sound as if her opponents were not supportive of Bopp.
Wildwood Matters is posting video here that shows Council Woman Shea railing against Mayor Bowlin's nomination of councilman Bopp. Shea can be seen in the video voting against the seating of Councilman Bopp on the Council. So much for ethics.

Sakyamuni Buddha was born to King Suddhodana and Queen Maya in Kapilavastu, located in present day Nepal. He was a bodhisattva who had great compassion and attained Buddhahood in a previous eon (kalpa). At a very young age, he realized that everything in the three spheres of existence is impermanent and began contemplating the solution to the sufferings of human life. At the age of twenty-nine, he decided to leave home and family to undertake a spiritual quest, and later attained enlightenment and Buddhahood. Sakyamuni Buddha preached the dharma for forty-nine years and taught eighty-four thousand dharma methods. His teachings benefited countless sentient beings. The Buddha transmitted the esoteric dharma only to his son, Rahula. Sakyamuni Buddha was the founder of Buddhism, while Adharma Buddha Samantabhadra Tathagata was the founder of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Eight years after the Buddha entered nirvana upon his demise, Guru Padmasambhava was born spontaneously in the blossom of a lotus in Lake Danakosha in Oddiyana (a small country in ancient India). The ruler of the land of Oddiyana, King Indrabhuti, invited the child to the palace and abdicated his throne to him.
Later, Guru Padmasambhava abdicated his throne and left the household life. He received the precepts from venerable Ananda and traveled to Tibet to spread the Buddha-dharma. He was maligned by local Tibetans for having no lineage. In order to prove his status and thereby better propagate the dharma, he traveled to present-day India and formally acknowledged various masters as his master. However, none of those masters had attained realization and accomplishment comparable to his. That is because Guru Padmasambhava was born with Buddha-dharma realization. In that very lifetime, he attained supreme accomplishment. Through realization of the rainbow body, he was able to constantly abide in this world. Guru Padmasambhava lived for more than eighteen hundred years in India propagating the dharma and benefiting sentient beings.
Later, Guru Padmasambhava accepted the invitation of the king of Tibet, Trisong Detsen, to spread the esoteric Buddha-dharma in Tibet. He was the first guru to transmit the teachings of the esoteric Buddha-dharma into Tibet. One by one, Guru Padmasambhava subdued the harmful gods, spirits, and demons of Tibet, making them faithful guardians of the dharma. The guru and Khenpo Santaraksita together constructed the monastery at Samye. The guru instructed his Tibetan disciples to learn translation of the sutras. He invited to Tibet people of great virtue from India, such as Vimalamitra, who translated important exoteric sutras and esoteric tantras into Tibetan. Guru Padmasambhava established institutes for the study of exoteric and esoteric scriptures and established esoteric dharma temples. He also developed lay and monastic orders.
In 1042, venerable Atisa accepted the invitation of king Byang-Chub 'Od to come to Tibet to spread Buddhism. He lived in the Tuolin Monastery. After he arrived in Tibet, Atiśa vigorously systematized the Buddhist teachings and standardized the methods of practice. In the part of the Tibetan language Tripitaka called the Tenjur (Tengyur), Atiśa translated more than two hundred works relating to exoteric and esoteric Buddhism. The thoughts and doctrines that he spread later became known as the Kadampa school of Buddhism. Atiśa's teachings were later revived and redeveloped by Master Tsongkhapa, who was a reincarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Master Tsongkhapa established the Gelug sect and spread the esoteric Buddha-dharma to Gansu, Qinghai, Mongolia and other places.
Kuan Yin Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva) is an ancient Buddha who returns to this world voluntarily.The Bodhisattva attained buddhahood countless eons ago under the name Zheng Fa Ming (Correct Dharma Brightness) Tathagata. The Chinese call the Bodhisattva "Great Compassion Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva." The Chinese characters "Guan Shi Yin" mean "to hear or regard the sounds of the world." If living beings recite the Bodhisattva's name when they are in distress, the Bodhisattva will hear or regard their sounds and will save them. Kuan Yin assumes countless forms in order to save living beings from suffering and hardship. That is why there are a variety of different names and forms for Kuan Yin. Thus, there is the ancient Chinese saying, "Every household worships either Amitabha Buddha or Kuan Yin Bodhisattva."
Manjusri is a Bodhisattva with perfect and supreme enlightenment. He is the guru of seven past Buddhas. He sits on one of the three Vajra Thrones in this world. The first Vajra Throne is where Sakyamuni Buddha sat when he attained enlightenment. The second Vajra Throne at the Kathok Temple was empowered by Guru Padmasambhava and will be empowered by the Thousand Buddhas of the Good Eon (Bhadra-kalpa). The third one is the Vajra Throne of Manjusri at Wu-tai Mountain. Manjusri is foremost among all Bodhisattvas in wisdom and eloquence. He personifies the perfect wisdom of a Buddha, which is called "great wisdom." The Mind Contemplation Sutra describes Manjusri Bodhisattva as "the mother of enligtenment in the three spheres and wonderful auspiciousness." The Fang Bo (Putting Down the Bowl) Sutra states, "My becoming a Buddha is entirely due to the grace of Manjusri. The countless Buddhas of the past were all disciples of Manjusri. The Buddhas of the future will also become Buddhas due to the mighty spirit power of Manjusri."

So far, Voyager is my favorite of the Outlander books. This is for several reasons. One, it has multiple point of views, even though Claire's POV is still told in first person while everyone else is told in third person which can be a bit awkward at times. It gives us a better sense of how Jamie views things, as well as Roger and Brianna who play major roles in this story, and even more so in the next book, Drums of Autumn. It also varies away from some of the troublesome aspects of the first two books, although not completely.
Voyager begins in the 1960s with Brianna, Roger and Claire searching for the truth about Jamie. They found out he survived Culloden, and follow the trail down to finding him as a printer under an alias. As they search, we get to see the story from Jamie's point of view of the missing years. We also wrap up a few lingering questions from the first book, and get a few flashbacks to Claire's life with Frank and Brianna over the last 20 years.
Brianna eventually convinces her mother to go back, and the bulk of the book is Claire's adventures in the mid 1760s, including traveling from Edinburgh, to Lallybroch to eventually Jamaica and the American Colonies. This book also explores several different types of relationships. It brings back Lord John Grey, who was featured as a teenager in Dragonfly but now is a Major in the British Army. He is in love with Jamie (as it appears most of the characters are – another criticism I have of this series), but unlike the previous two homosexual characters isn't portrayed as a horrible person.
I was slightly uncomfortable with the portrayal of Yi Tien Cho, in a related notion. I couldn't tell if it was the character himself or the fact that it was a portrayal of the first major minority character for the series (outside of Joe Abernathy who is barely seen). However, from what I have found out, he is loosely based on a real person and perhaps some of that comes from that. Still, I wasn't sure if the portrayal was fair or not.
The relationships in this book that are explored are the several different types of family. It explores the idea of adoption/step-parenting (Jamie & Claire with Fergus, Frank with Brianna, Jamie with the McKimmie girls. Roger Wakefield & his great-Uncle, John Grey & Willie), Multigenerational (Jenny, Ian and the Murrys), separation (Jamie & Brianna as well as Jamie & Willie) amongst some. It also takes into consideration the aftereffects on Claire's relationships outside Jamie – like with Jenny and Geillis.
While this book is still full of misadventures, and Jamie & Claire are rarely in a moment of calm, it does seem to be happier (outside of Ian) and some issues are addressed instead of either of the main characters pushing it aside like has happened in previous books. It also has a decrease in the amount of sexual violence that seemed to be prevalent in the previous two books. There is one scene towards the end with Yi Tien Cho that was concerning in regards to sexual violence but in comparison to the other novels this book is quite an improvement.
My final grade is A.

Read the following excerpt from an essay by Stephen Leacock. What is the main idea? A friend of mine who has ten thousand dollars a year told me the other day with a sigh that he found it quite impossible to keep up with the rich. On his income he couldn't do it. A family that I know who have twenty thousand a year have told me the same thing. They can't keep up with the rich. There is no use in trying. A man that I respect very much who has an income of fifty thousand dollars a year from his law practice has told me with the greatest frankness that he finds it absolutely impossible to keep up with the rich. He says it is better to face the brutal fact of being poor. He says he can only give me a plain meal, what he calls a home dinner—it takes three men and two women to serve it—and he begs me to put up with it. As far as I remember, I have never met Mr. Carnegie. But I know that if I did he would tell me that he found it quite impossible to keep up with Mr. Rockefeller. No doubt Mr. Rockefeller has the same feeling. On the other hand there are, and there must be, rich people somewhere. I run across traces of them all the time. The janitor in the building where I work has told me that he has a rich cousin in England who is in the South-Western Railway and gets ten pounds a week. He says the railway wouldn't know what to do without him. In the same way the lady who washes at my house has a rich uncle. He lives in Winnipeg and owns his own house, clear, and has two girls at the high school. 1.Money means nothing to the rich. 2.Most rich people are very modest. 3.Most rich people live abroad. 4.The rich are never satisfied with their wealth. 5.The writer hasn't met any really rich people.

Memoirs of John W Bartleson: Boyhood
As Transcribed and Edited by Tweed Ross
Great-grandson
Editor's note: The text has been rendered as near to the original as possible. Minor text errors have been retained, inasmuch as they do not create significant syntax issues, but, in many cases, add to the story.
Chapter One: Boyhood
Pulaski County, today
I, John W Bartleson, was born August 16, 1846 in Pulaski county, Illinois, two miles north of the Ohio river, near Grand Chain. My father, John Bartleson and my mother, Mary (Wilson) emigrated from Ohio in about the year 1843. They floated out of the Sengamon (Muskenquin) river and down the Ohio river in a small flat boat, bringing their two (ten) children and a neighbor by the name of Davis. Prior to this time Father and the neighbor, Davis, had been to Iowa and had selected land, and it had been their intention to make their way to Iowa up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, but their means became exhausted and they stopped in Illinois for the summer, claiming a tract after the "squatter" fashion.
The woods were not cleared and in the wooded hills and swamps were abundance of fruit, plums, grapes, berries and other fruits being plentiful, with deer, turkeys, squirrels and other animals for game. Themen [sic] and boys all were well supplied with firearms. Deer would feed on wheat fields near their house.
Father built a house of small logs to shelter his family, began to clear the land and hired out some of the boys to help make a living. Father was a journeyman tailor by trade and he worked at the county seat, Caledonia, most of the time, but he also carried on in the timber business, shipping staves, hoopoles, and ship timber on flat boats down the Mississippi river to New Orleans, which business was very extensive up and down the Ohio river from states as far up as Ohio and Indiana. Steamboats were always in sight, —regular lines from Louisville, Cincinnati, and other points to Memphis and New Orleans,—packets from Indiana and Kentucky cities to Cairo, Illinois and return each day. Many trading boats anchored or beached at the farm landings up and down the river. There were high bluffs as this landing and in summer time the beech was flat and sandy. This was an attraction to excursions and many parties came, especially on Saturday evenings, after the week's work was done.
Father planted an orchard of peach and apple trees and we soon had fruit. With that and hog meat, hominy and dried pumpkins we fared very well in winter and the summer provided all kinds of vegetables.

In May, 1846, the Mexican War began. The two older boys, Edwin and Augustus, enlisted as Volunteers in the 2nd Illinois Infantry regiment. Their company was ordered to Alton, Illinois to be mustered into service. As I have said, Father was a tailor, and was persuaded to accompany the boys to Alter in order to fit their uniforms. There he was persuaded to join the company as its Lieutenant, and he was well on his way to Mexico before my mother knew of his enlistment. Father, and all the officers of his company, were killed by Mexican Lancers on February 22, 1847 (at the battle of Buena Vista, Mex). I had been born August 16, 1846. I never had the privilege of seeing my father.
After his death, Mother was very poor, a widow with twelve children. The two older boys at home, Robert and William, twins, sixteen years old, had carried on the farming, cut and hewed logs for a new house. On the home coming from the war of Edwin and Augustus the house was completed and when I was about one year old we moved into ot[sic]. The house was a rather low one, a one and one-half story building, 18 x 22, with inside brick chimney and a small stairway making the interior dimensions only about 18 x 18.
Mother had a large family, with many comings and goings. She was loved by all who knew her and so many boys and girls naturally attracted company. Space was limited and not an inch was wasted. On the first floor were two cord, high posted bedsteads, and underneath them were two trundle beds which at night could be pulled out and slept on, then shoved back under the large beds during the day. On the second floor were four bedsteads. If we had extra company, the smaller boys slept on pallets. Later on, a room 14 x 16 was added to the house. It was of logs, with entry between the two structures and a porch on the side, giving plenty of room. After the war was over, Mother put Father's land warrant on this land and received a patent right to it. Land was watered only by a wet weather spring that nearly always dried up in summer time. Then we would carry water in buckets or haul water from a well three quarters of a mile away. Neighbors were fairly numerous, but were uneducated and very poor. Farms were merely patches that had been cleared of timber. There were no school houses or churches. The Christian church organized early in the region, preachers coming 75 miles on horseback to hold meetings. The congregation met in Mother's house, it being one of the larger houses, together with George Boyd's dwelling about three miles distant. So the people met alternately at this [sic] places. The members erected a large brush and pole shed in the woods for the summer preaching services. Split logs were used as benches and it all answered very well in dry weather.
I had to walk three miles to my first school, a log school house, with stick and mud chinking, puncheon floor, split logs for benches with pole legs. Scholars were from five to twenty-five years old and there were a variety of books and classes. The teacher was rather ignorant, and the boys were rough, vying with each other in their skills of squirting long green juice with a knot hole as a target. When Harding Godman discovered this rivalry, eight to ten boys were well trimmed with a hickory stick.
I would have to start to school before sunrise and it was dark when I reached home in the evening. About 1856 or 1857 the school districts were divided, some teachers drifted in from Ohio, and then we fared better. But there was too much work to do, and we had to enter school so late in the fall, and quit so early in the spring, that we made slow progress, and up to the time of my enlistment in the Civil War, I had advanced only as far as Fractions in the Arithemetic [sic]. However, we had Spelling [sic] schools, Mental Arithmetic [sic] tests and school exhibitions on Friday evenings and we thought we were doing fairly well, both in pleasure and learning.
My mother's maiden name was Mary Wilson Chapman. She was the only daughter of Ambrose Chapman, a widower, merchant of Massilon, Ohio. She was married to John Bartleson at the age of sixteen, against her father's will. Father's business as journeyman tailor led him from place to place, farther and farther west. She soon lost of trace of her family connection and nothing was known by me of her other relations. Mother always was a very religious woman, was cheerful and hopeful and was respected and loved by all who knew her. She was loyal to the core, as will be shown. She took much pleasure when I was small, visiting her neighbors, going on horseback, but always taking me along. I recall Mrs Metcalf, Mrs Kitchell, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Vanderbilt, because we often stayed all night and even longer, when the distance was great. Mother also attended to her own business and to her trading the county seat, Caledonia. She drew a pension of eight dollars per month from the government after Father's death.
When I was nine, the old boys and girls had married and the only ones left at home were my widowed sister, Eliza, Eque and her two children, James W and Edwin. There was also a niece, Amanda Smith, whose mother had died at the birth of a child and my bother Alonzo, three years my senior. He and I took charge of the farm, clearing up some more land and doing the best we could.
Farming was very crude. We plowed and harrowed the land, then furrowed it out both ways with a shovel plow, dropped the corn in the checks and covered it with a hoe. Corn required about four plowings, with a single plow, which meant four times in each row four times over, a slow process, but the only way. Our wheat was harvested with a hand cradle, laid in swaths and bound in sheaves by hand. Grass was cut with hand scythes and raked with hand, all other work was accomplished with as meager instruments, as cutting, mauling and splitting rails from timber, enclosing our field with the old time worn fence.
