Course Title APUSH 0129

● James Buchanan: Fifteenth President. Serve 1857–1861. A Pennsylvania Democrat, Buchanan had a storied career as a U.S. senator and representative, a Secretary of State, and an ambassador to both Russia and Britain. He essentially
won his party's nomination due to being abroad for so long, meaning he wasn't tied to any of the contentious domestic issues of the 1850s. He supported the Dred Scott ruling, and the entry of Kansas into the Union as a slave state. Declined to run for a second term. Often ranked as the worst president for exacerbating regional tensions in the runup to the Civil War and then doing nothing to stop secession. ● Henry Ward Beecher: An abolitionist and clergyman. In response to proslavery "border ruffians" moving into Kansas from Missouri, he helped antislavery settlers establish footholds in the state and also funneled them rifles. Beecher attacked the Compromise of 1850 in Shall We Compromise, arguing that a Christian's duty to feed and shelter slaves meant that liberty and slavery were compatible. During the Civil War, Lincoln sent him on a European speaking tour, rallying public support in order to prevent Britain and France from recognizing the Confederacy. ● Bleeding Kansas: The nickname for a period of bloody conflict in what became Kansas. Lasted 1855–1859. Proslavery and antislavery forces engaged in a number of battles, massacres, and raids in order to determine whether Kansas would be a free or slave state. Due to decrying slavery in Kansas, Senator Charles Sumner was nearly beaten to death on the Senate floor by Preston Brooks. Due to the objections of Southern states, Kansas would not be admitted to the United States until the start of the Civil War. See: John Brown. ● Lecompton Constitution: A proposed proslavery constitution for Kansas. It protected slaveholders and excluded free African Americans from the protections of the Bill of Rights. It encountered intense debate in Congress, as President Buchanan supported it and Senator Douglas vehemently opposed it. Antislavery forces boycotted the ratification process, prompting a re-vote; this second vote was then boycotted by the proslavery forces, allowing Kansas to be admitted to the Union as a free state. ● Dred Scott v. Sandford : A landmark 1857 Supreme Court case that was a major contributing factor to the outbreak of the Civil War. Dred Scott, a slave in Missouri, spent years in Wisconsin and Illinois with his master. After his master's death, Dred Scott sued for freedom. The Court ruled that all African Americans (free or slave) were not citizens. Taney also ruled that Congress had no right to deny citizens of their individual property, and therefore the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional for stripping slave owners of their rightful property once they moved north.

President George Weah Dedicates Phase One of the Somalia Drive Road Project; as government signs additional US$46 million for Phase two.
The 13.2 Kilometers road reconstruction is financed through a grant assistance from the People of Japan.
Completion of the first two lanes followed a US$50 million grant agreement signed between the governments of Liberia and Japan in 2014.
The reconstruction of the road will now reduce huge traffic congestion on the Somalia Drive.
Over 300, 000 inhabitants out of Monrovia's 1.2 Million populations will benefit from this project.
The Government of Liberia has also signed a US$46 Million grant to finance additional two lanes of the Somalia Drive Road.
President George Weah speaking at the dedication ceremony said the road when completed will be named "Japan Freeway" as part of the grant requirements.
President Weah noted that the name "Japan Freeway "is also gear towards recognizing the tremendous contributions of the Japanese Government to the infrastructure development of Liberia.
He said Japan has over the years proven to be a strong partner to Liberia's growth. President Weah pointed out that the reconstruction of the road will foster economic activities among other things. The Liberian leader noted that his government remains committed to improving the infrastructure of the Country.

Q: Using NLP to have a system learn to categorize text Before I start spending a lot of time learning the concepts, I would like to know whether NLP and Python's NLTK can help me with training a system by simply feeding it text and telling it what categories are applicable.
Let's say I have about a hundred texts and I would like to categorize them across the business they describe. Is there a way to just indicate to a system per text what business is being described and then having that system more and more accurately categorize new texts in the long run?

A: What you are describing is a classification problem. To train a classification model, you will want to use either NLTK's own NaiveBayesClassifier or one of the more state-of-the-art and customizable models from scikit-learn.
Here is the documentation example for NLTK's NB classifier.
Here is an example for the Multinomial NB classifier from scikit-learn
Both packages offer complete solutions to your problem. NLTK gives you all the tools to properly tokenize and lemmatize your texts yourself before feeding them to the trainer or throwing them at the trained model for classification, and it gives you the training algorithm as well. Scikit-learn does that too, with slight differences: the preprocessing part is somewhat more automatized if all you need to do is tokenize, and you have more options for training your model. See for yourself in this example.
With this you should have the tools to get the job done. However, if you are new to this, here are a few tips:

*

*Ensure that whatever preprocessing you do on the training texts, you do as well on the texts you will want to classify afterwards.

*Think about acquiring a bigger training set, as 100 texts is not exactly "big data"

*Familiarize yourself with the pickle module if you don't know it already, this is what will let you save a model on your computer.

*If you choose yo use scikit-learn, try replacing the MultinomialNB classifier by the SVM one and compare the results. SVM is generally better.

A: In short: yes, kind of. NLTK can break down raw text really well, strip out stopwords(words that occur commonly but do not give a lot of meaningful insights about the text). You can take any text, tokenize it and plot the frequency of each word. However the most common words will be "the", "of", "for", etc: stopwords. This would give you a nice overall idea but commonly not good enough. So you would need some sort of classification which also comes with NLTK. You might want to look into this.
Most commonly tf-idf is what people use for this purpose. Another brilliant package that might come in handy in your case is gensim which aims to do exactly what you're looking for. And other packages have pieces that you might want to look at such as scikit-learn.
In the long run? It really depends how much resources you can throw into your project but the (relatively) simple approach is tagging: Bayes' theorem. 100 texts is a small number so using tagging for classification will likely not be extremely accurate.

A: I believe what you are looking for is Topic Modeling in NLP. Python has several libraries can do this (but not NLTK, as far as I know). Check out these ones gensim, GraphLab, or lda.

Colomic History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
During that dark period of history known as the Middle Ages, the name of Colomic was first used in France. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages. Many people, such as the Colomic family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Colomic was an occupational name for a keeper of doves or pigeons having derived from the Old French word "colombe," which means dove.
Early Origins of the Colomic family
The surname Colomic was first found in Guyenne, where this distinguished family held a family seat since the 1100's.
By the early 1500's the family had branched into Quercy and Languedoc where Amanieu de Coulombe witnessed a document in 1506. His son founded the Jacobean convent in Bordeaux in 1530. Due to the family's impressive status in society, it formed many alliances with other noble families, such as in 1510, when the Colomb of Montregard of Puy family intermarried with the LaTour family and their descendants were known as De Colombe de LaTour, Viscounts of Goy. François de Colomb, Baron Latour, was the cousin of Hector, head of the Colombe de Montregard. Another branching of the Montregard family occurred when Jean de Colomb, Doctor of Law and Judge for the seneschal of Puy, and second son of François, became the Lord of Combres. His son, François, became a councillor to the King. Later generations of the family held titles of Baron de la Tour-Daniel, Beauzac, Lords of Mercuret, and Co-Lords of Saint-Haon. François de Colomb, Lieutenant of Viscount LeStrange, the Governor of Puy, was active in the defense of Puy against the Ligue and contributed greatly to the pacification of Velay for which he received special commendation from King Henri IV in 1594. In 1596 he became the King's Judge by proclamation and died in 1647 at the age of 100 years and 3 months. It should be noted that the average man died in his forties or fifties at this time. Jean de Colomb of the Forez branch of the family was registered in 1585. Descendants of all branches of the family served as councillors to the King and King's Court, as well as Presidents and First Council in Puy and their other domains.
Louis Coulombe, born in 1641, son of Jacques and Rolline, left France and travelled to Sainte-Famille-de-l'île-d'Orléans in Quebec, Canada, where he arrived on 30th September 1670. After arriving in Quebec he married Jeanne Foucault, daughter of Nicolas and Marguerite, at the end of 1670. [1]

LAST BREATH is released in UK CInemas 5th Aril 2019.
The heart-stopping and staggering true-life story LAST BREATH will be released in UK cinemas by Dogwoof on 5 April 2019 and premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on 28 February 2019. Told through first-hand accounts, powerful archive and black box footage from the time and pulse-quickening underwater reconstructions, LAST BREATH is a documentary thriller unlike any other.
Filmmakers Alex Parkinson and Richard da Costa bring their years of experience of filming in challenging environments to a film which immerses viewers in the mysterious and claustrophobic world of saturation diving.
A routine maintenance dive on a North Sea oil well turns into a fight for survival as a computer error aboard the commercial ship The Topaz sends the boat drifting away from its dive site, dragging along everything attached to it: including commercial diver Chris Lemons.
With his diving umbilical cord snagged on a underwater structure and the full weight of the 8,000 tonne ship strained against his lifeline, Chris becomes stranded on the seabed with only 5 minutes of breathing gas and rescue 30 minutes away.
LAST BREATH is a truly incredible real life story and race-against-time thriller which will leave audiences gasping.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE in UK Cinemas 5th April 2019.
"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."
Set in a flamboyantly stylised near-future, where gangs of disenfranchised teenagers indulge in narcotic cocktails and revel in acts of 'ultraviolence', the film centres on charismatic but deadly Alex DeLarge (brilliantly portrayed by Malcolm McDowell in one of his most famous roles) and his band of equally brutal droogs; Dim (Warren Clarke), Georgie (James Marcus) and Pete (Michael Tarn). Eventually arrested and imprisoned, Alex shortens his sentence by agreeing to take part in a government-run experiment to cure offenders through aversion therapy – the Ludovico Technique – in which he is tied down, kept awake and forced to watch violent, sexual and anti-social activity while listening to Beethoven.
The story is narrated by Alex himself, speaking in 'Nadsat', a form of Russian-influenced English devised by Anthony Burgess who was also a linguist.
The violent attacks and rape scenes in the film made it highly controversial upon its release in the UK and in the glare of publicity Stanley Kubrick received death threats. He personally asked Warner Bros. to withdraw the film from distribution in 1974 and it was not seen on the big screen again in the UK until after his death in 1999.
THE KEEPER in UK Cinemas 5th April 2019.
The Keeper tells the incredible true story of Bert Trautmann (David Kross), a German soldier and prisoner of war who, against a backdrop of British post-war protest and prejudice, secures the position of Goalkeeper at Manchester City, and in doing so becomes a footballing icon.
Struggling for acceptance by those who dismiss him as the enemy, Bert's love for Margaret (Freya Mavor), an Englishwoman, carries him through and he wins over even his harshest opponents by winning the 1956 FA Cup Final, playing on with a broken neck to secure victory. But fate will soon twist the knife for Bert and Margaret, when their love and loyalty to each other is put to the ultimate test.

ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE is released on DVD & Blu-Ray 8th April 2019.
Review: ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE is a what you say… A horror? Okay, it is Frightfest. A comedy. Yes, there's a rich history of splicing those two … And a musical? And a Christmas film? Surely that's too much… Right?
The ambitious idea is born out of the award winning short ZOMBIE MUSICAL written and directed by Ryan McHenry. Sadly he died from cancer in 2015, but before he passed he okayed the continued development of the feature film version.
It stars Ella Hunt in the titular role. If you saw her play Sheridan Smith's daughter in THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME, earlier this year, you're aware she is an acting talent on the up and in this role she is equally as impressive. Her ambitions of leaving the sleepy town of Little Haven and seeing the world are cut short when she wakes up one morning to a zombie outbreak. She teams up with her friends to make the all-action, blood soaked journey through the walking dead hordes and be reunited with her father. He is holed up with the tyrannical headmaster – Mr Savage. Every disaster film requires a selfish individual to work against the group and Paul Kaye's cartoon villain is it. Stuart Wright

POND LIFE is in selected UK Cinemas from 26th April 2019.
It's summer in Edlington. Trevor sits at Decoy Ponds, patiently awaiting the appearance of Nessie, the carp of legend.
Pogo wanders around town with a cassette recorder, taping broken fragments, and trying to make sense of it all. The local children taunt her.
Cassie and Maurice canoodle in the reeds…They're in love.
Malcolm is also in love, with Cassie that is, but she doesn't want to hear it and Maurice has just thrown him in a nettle bush. He takes comfort in video games at the local arcade, and tries to astral project himself into her bedroom.
Best friends Shane and David cause mischief around the town; stealing chocolate bars and every opportunity they can to a glimpse a pair of boobs. Shane takes it one step further and spies on a canoodling couple in the reeds.
'This is the best summer of my life' says Pogo, and for each of them the sun, the bittersweet intensity of their relationships, and their fishing quest make the moment exceptionally vivid. But change is also in the air - there is no room for Trevor at home, the truth about Maurice's family has to emerge, and their community has to move on.

RUPERT, RUPERT & RUPERT is released in UK Cinemas and on Digital Platforms, Amazon Video, iTunes & GooglePlay, 26th April 2019.
This rollercoaster ride follows budding actor Rupert Lindsay (Sandy Batchelor) who is desperate to get his big break in acting, but there's one slight problem: he keeps having angry and lascivious outbursts and he can never remember what he did, what he said or even who he hurt. A chance audition puts him in front of failed film director Geoffrey Morton (Ben Porter – Casualty, The Bill), whose last hope in the industry rests on finding a star who can effectively portray the lead in 'The Fatal Blasphemy of Jeremiah Ulysses's Boundless Rage.'

BREAKING HABITS is released in Cinemas & on Digital 26th April 2019.
Synopsis: Cannabis culture in America has transformed in recent years from an illicit, countercultural, frowned-upon recreation into a multi-billion-dollar capitalist machine. The Sisters of the Valley reap these benefits amid this turbulent transition, running their farm in one of the most dangerous towns in America.
The Sisters fight against the goliaths of law enforcement and religion who are determined to stop them at all costs. We find them harassed by the Trump-lovin' Sheriff, a Christian Bishop, County and State investigatory teams, the City Council and Post Office, all the while dodging bullets from local drug kingpins.
And yet, advised by the local Native Elder and protected by armed Mexican cartels, Sister Kate's business has grown into a multi-million-dollar empire.
BREAKING HABITS is an outrageous, not-to-be-missed documentary about a Sisterhood of gun-slinging nuns who live and work in a modern-day Wild West in circumstances we can barely imagine.
CHARISMATA is released on DVD 29th April 2019.
Synopsis: When Detective Rebecca Faraway is thrown head first into a cult murder case, she finds the male-dominated world forces her into obsession and suspicion.
As the case develops and her instincts are ignored by those around her, paranoia combined with hysteria and delusions transcends into a demonic game of cat and mouse between her and the enigmatic suspect Michael Sweet.
Divulging deeper into Faraway's delicate mind, the main suspect shows her that death is merely the beginning of what could be the struggle to keep her soul and sanity.

303 SQUADRON is released on DVD & Blu-Ray 29th April 2019.
Synopsis: 303 SQUADRON is the true tale of the RAF's hastily assembled No.303(Polish) Fighter Squadron. Put together in the summer of 1940, as Britain faced the most concerted military threat in its history, this was a unit made up exclusively of Polish airmen.
After failing to stop the Nazis overwhelm their homeland, the Polish pilots made their way across the Channel to continue their war. Initially they were underestimated and ridiculed, but as the shortage of experienced British airmen became critical and in the face of the growing Luftwaffe onslaught, they were soon corralled into frontline duty and supplied with Hurricanes.
Unparalleled in their formidable combat flying skills, they quickly proved their worth in the Battle of Britain, shooting three times more Luftwaffe planes than any other allied squadron and achieving the best Kill/Loss Ratio (126:8) in the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force Fighter Command's history.

On a typical morning on Maui a commuter-style convoy of rental cars embarks on the serpentine Hana Highway, crossing dozens of one-lane bridges before reaching the quiet town and then pressing on to the Pools of Oheo at the lower part of Haleakala National Park. Then they turn around for the long drive back to Kihei and Lahaina.
An alternative: Consider exploring the Hana Highway as a day unto itself, and leave the drive to Hana for a second day—and on that day continue around south Maui and make a circle instead of doing the return run. That way you can see places like the Keanae Arboretum (above) and the village of Keanae.
Most of the lush forest reserves along the Hana Highway go unseen by visitors.
Don't get suckered into stopping every time you see cars parked. Maui has a lot of monkey-see, monkey-do tourism. This tropical coastline is full of trails to call your own.
Before jumping in the car, take a look at Maui Trailblazer, which has dozens of places to see along the way that are not on the tourist radar. Indpendent, active travelers wishing to create their own adventures will find this guide to be essential.

Q:  Could not get audio input for record source 1 I am trying to get AudioRecord instance but I get errors:

Could not get audio input for record source 1
Error creating AudioRecord instance: initialization check failed.
Error code -20 when initializing native AudioRecord object.

Here is my sample code:
public class AudioCapturer {
    AudioRecord recorder;
    private int channelConfig = AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO;
    private int audioFormat = AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT;
    private static final int AUDIO_SAMPLE_RATE = 8000;
    private static int[] mSampleRates = new int[] { 8000, 11025, 22050, 44100 };
    int bufferSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(mSampleRates[3], channelConfig, audioFormat);

    protected void Start() {
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    recorder = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT, mSampleRates[3], channelConfig, audioFormat, bufferSize);
                    Log.v("RECORDER","" +recorder.getState());
                    recorder.startRecording();

                    }
                }
            }).start();
    }
}

I've added permissions but result is still the same.
My mobile phone API version is 18.

A: Most probably you can solve the issue changing
private int channelConfig = AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO;

to
private int channelConfig = AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO;

Better solution would be to loop through all possible parameter values combinations to select working combination. See AudioRecord object not initializing


This is a game thread for Two Rooms, One Boom And A Bang. Game info is here.
Please post in this thread only if you are listed as being in this room, and only for the duration of Round 2, running from 12:00 AM Monday, July 9 to 11:00 PM Saturday, July 12, UTC.
If you are in this room, do not read the thread for the other room.
This round will commence shortly.
The round has begun, and will end in 95 hours.
I just want to brag and say room A had way more posts than than Room B last round. Sadly most of it was boomfrog and madge whispering to each other.
So, are you red or blue?
Hello, heury! Yeah, we were all here, but things settled pretty quickly… Why were the others talking behind your back?
I guess I will find out when the game is over! What do you mean by things settled pretty quickly in here?
We came to fairly quick consensus about who to nominate as leader, and he decided pretty easily whom he was sending. There was some whispering, obviously, but no major conspiracies, as far as I can tell.
I find it interesting that there has not been more discussion since this round started. Perhaps you two have already come to end game and don't care about the rest of the game anymore?
It was all last minute for us when we had a leader. I finally just picked to make the person who didn't trust me leader, and then they abdicated leadership to the other person and then I got sent out.
I am the gambler, so i have an interest in figuring out who is who. If you card share with me, I will help you reach your goal.
I have already card shared with mpolo, so he can back up my claim.
Room A are requesting that this round be ended early. Please let me know if you are in favour of this.
Would you be willing to public reveal gambler first? Also I do not know yet if you have a deal to help mpolo yet.
i could post this publically, the suspense should get to gopher though keeping it hidden. Can you confirm the claim that he is gambler?
I do have a deal with mpolo, but mpolo is neither red nor blue, so if you are one of the above, they have no bearing on your win condition.
If you are grey, I will not tell mpolo your role. Not that it will matter. bessie was the sniper.
i thought about card sharing with mpolo right when you said you were gambler to show off how ba I am haha. But decided to wait to see what you said. My prediction was that whoever came into the other room would be sniper. I also know who is most likely to win between red and blue but you have to promise not to help anyone else's win condition. Also I want to be sent back into the other room this round.
Bessie didn't share much with us — unless she told Gopher something in whisper. Gopher knows my role.
So, I told heury that bessie was the sniper. I have no idea what he intends to gain by card sharing with you. I'm very interested in what role they have.
I will send you back to the other room if you card share with me.
Well, I figure every card I see increases my chances, and nobody has a lot of reason to use my reveal against me, so private cardshares are pretty good for me… Don't know what heury's going to think about you when he sees my card, though.
Well, frankly I'm surprised they wanted the deal. If they are grey, they've shot themselves in the foot, and you have a good chance of winning (especially if they are the target). If they aren't, I'm still a good help for them, in making sure they are in the right room at the end of the game.
So, what role is he? Should we send him back?
Thanks for saying Bessie was the Sniper. Heury is the Target… So we currently know that all red and blue people are over in the other room. You just need to somehow identify the person who gets sent to you this round, right?
This round has ended. Bessie has been sent back to Room B, and heuristically_alone has been sent back to Room A. The final round will begin shortly.


When you heard a family member or a good friend was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, you probably tried to learn everything about Alzheimer's and support him/her as much as you can.
While is true that an Alzheimer's patient needs special care and assistance with daily activities, it is also true that he/she should be encouraged to live as independent as possible. It will help him/her to be in control of his life, while preventing you to burn out and get stressed.
A 2012 study featured in Psych Central shows that caregivers may deprive an Alzheimer's patient of his independence and self-worth, even if they have good intentions and a true desire to help.
This study mentioned this problem can happened with all caregivers (the family members or support workers) who spend time assisting a sufferer with Alzheimer's. The caregiver will try to do everything to help the patient, and complete tasks that could easily be performed by the patient himself.
The study describes the story of a wife who always took care of her husband with Alzheimer's and always completed various tasks for him. One day she went with her husband to a nursing home and saw her husband was quite capable of performing many tasks she thought he wasn't able to do.
Companies like CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) provide support for patients with Alzheimer's. A case manager (usually a nurse or other health professional) regularly assesses the status of a patient. The case manager will create a treatment plan involving home support workers (who would visit and provide bathing, dressing assistance or respite care for caregivers), physiotherapists (to create a suitable stretching/exercise program), occupational therapist (to assess the need for various assistive devices), social worker, and more.
You might also like...How Can Herbs Help Alzheimer's?
Both family members and professional caregivers should understand very well the limitations of the patient by reading the notes and talking to the physiotherapist and the case manager.
If individuals with Alzheimer's can do some cooking, they should be encouraged to do some (even if the tasks should be broken down in smaller tasks to make them easier).
If the patient can dress or undress, the caregiver should just assist with these activities, rather than completing them while the patient is passively waiting for help.
Helpful tools such as a calendar and clock (or watch) should be placed in the room, and the patient should be encouraged to follow them and get oriented in time. A journal can also help one keep track of daily activities, thoughts and feelings. Use brain exercises such as puzzles or other games to keep the mind active.
As time progresses, the disease will also progress. Cognitive function may significantly decline and the need for nursing care will be considered. As a family member, you can visit your loved one in this nursing home and talk to the caregivers to allow him to be as independent as he can, based on the current status.
If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's and are constantly wondering, "Will I get Alzheimer's too?" you must manage the anxiety before it consumes you.

Trained by life in surmounting grief, Marika Weinberger focuses on the silver lining in the recent decision in Budapest not to try Hungarian war criminal Laszlo Csatary in connection with the murder of her nine uncles in 1941.
What is known is that in 1944, at the age of 29, Csatary owned a large house in one of Kosice's most affluent neighborhoods – one that Kornfeld says was well beyond his salary at the police force. By the end of World War II, Kornfeld adds, Csatary also owned a foreign-made luxury car that few Czechs could afford.

"Bet Ain't Worth the Hand"
By Marc Hogan
From his forthcoming second album, Good Thing
Leon Bridges has a relationship with vintage R&B that's as complicated as any romance. The impeccable craftsmanship of Bridges' debut album, 2015's Coming Home, vaulted the North Texas singer/songwriter to modest fame—Grammy nomination, "Saturday Night Live" performance, opening slot on Harry Styles' tour—but his echoes of early-'60s Sam Cooke and Otis Redding also opened him up to criticisms for not being more sonically or politically adventurous.
On "Bet Ain't Worth the Hand," a sumptuous single from his upcoming second LP, Good Thing, he breaks up with his girl but deepens his commitment to updating the classics. The reference points here are less specific than in, say, the retro-soul of Daptone Records' greats or even Childish Gambino's powerful "Redbone," and Bridges remains less overtly political than the latter, too. The track is a swooning ballad, with delicate orchestration out of the 1970s Chicago or Philadelphia molds, and his vocals rise to a tender falsetto reminiscent of Smokey Robinson, who's evidently a fan. "I better slow down," Bridges begins, words that belong to no specific era but certainly feel appropriate these days. He lets his lover down gently: "Kiss me before I go, but you got to let me go." It's hard to say goodbye to the past when the feelings are still so vivid.

Home Veterans Vietnam vet prefers focus on those who didn't return
Vietnam vet prefers focus on those who didn't return
Army photograph
Retired Army Capt. Jefferson Keel is also Lt. Gov. of the Chickasaw Nation. He's shown here during a recent visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
If he were so inclined, retired Army Capt. Jefferson Keel could tell a lot of war stories, having served in Vietnam's Central Highlands as an Airborne Ranger from 1966 to 1968. He was wounded during the Tet Offensive and returned to Vietnam again from 1970 to 1971, collecting several Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals in the process.
But Keel doesn't like to talk about his own experiences in Vietnam.
Instead, he prefers to keep the focus on those who never returned — those who paid the ultimate price.
"We often talk about our brothers we left behind in Vietnam, particularly around the time of Memorial Day," he said, referring to the frequent conversations on social media he has with his fellow brothers-in-arms.
Keel said there are so many he served with who didn't come home, that sometimes he loses track of their names.
So when he visits the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, he said he looks for the dates on the wall when he was in Vietnam and then goes down the rows of names listed there. When he comes to a name he forgot, that's when he remembers.
"It's really an emotional experience," he said of his visits to the wall. "One of my best friends was killed in February 1967. We were young when we went there. We had high ideals and we thought we would go over there, win the war and go home. But so many of us didn't."
Many who did return home came back with post-traumatic stress disorder. Keel said he's had to work through his own mild case of PTSD, and he suspects everyone who served there has it to a certain degree.
Although Keel honors the memory of those who died in Vietnam, he tries not to focus on the war. Instead, he focuses on the positive things that happened during that time, like making a lot of friends. "Those bonds that we formed while we were there are 'forever bonds'," he recalled.
Keel said he attends annual unit reunions when he can. His first tour in Vietnam was with the 1st Cavalry Division and his second was with the 101st Airborne Division. For the first half of his Army career he served as an enlisted Soldier. He left the service to attend college, then returned to the military and finished the second half of his 20-year career as an officer.
When he attends reunions, Keel said he sees his fellow veterans as brothers.
"In combat, there's no distinction between race or creed or color," he said. "None of that matters."
Chickasaw roots
Keel himself is more than one-half Chickasaw. He lives in Ada, Okla., an area in the south-central part of the state that two-thirds of the 64,000 Chickasaw people call home.
The reason that Keel gets to visit the wall so often is because his duties as lieutenant governor of the Chickasaw Nation take him to Washington, D.C., on a regular basis.
The Chickasaw Nation once had chiefs and kings, he said, but then the people adopted a tribal constitution patterned after the U.S. government, with three branches of government and regular elections.
As lieutenant governor, he represents the governor and the tribe to U.S. government agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He's also called on often to testify in hearings on Capitol Hill.In addition to serving as lieutenant governor of his tribe, Keel also co-chairs a 28-member advisory committee that oversees efforts to erect a memorial to Native American veterans at the National Museum of the American Indian by 2020.
Keel said he also participates in Chickasaw cultural activities at home. While many Indian nations have pow-wows, the Chickasaw have what is referred to as "stomp dances," he said.
He invited Native as well as non-native people to join in at the stomp dances that occur on a regular basis at the nation's new cultural center in Sulphur, Okla.
As for future plans, Keel said he wants to continue doing exactly what he's doing now: serving the Native American communities.
"I'm grateful they allowed me to do this," he said, referring to the elected office he now holds.

Investors and partners
There is no alternative to tasting good
People have not changed inherently in the past 10 000 years. They will choose foods that feel familiar and taste great. That's why we are constantly testing Solein: we have already made several familiar, delicious, and incredibly sustainable dishes.
The future of food will inevitably contain changes since the present way of producing food is driving climate change, soil degradation and the destruction of Earth's biodiversity. The good news is that even though the food of tomorrow will be different on a chemical level compared to today – it will look, feel, and taste like what you are used to.
More carrot, less stick
Solar Foods has a food production solution that creates a better tomorrow, bite by bite. A food out of thin air, which does not require agriculture and at a global scale can tip the balance toward carbon negativity. However, sustainable choices only matter if people are ready to make them.
Change is stressful when it is imposed on us. The feeling is amplified when something very familiar, such as the food we eat every day, is put into question. If and when governments start to take action against unsustainable agricultural practices and factory farming, is the age of eating meat over? Will we be priced out of our favourite comfort foods? Will the local supermarket still stock the foods you buy every week? Will the future taste the same?
Your grocery list hasn't changed, the ingredients in your groceries have
It is extremely hard to change people's eating preferences. For example, in Europe, we have been eating bread, cheese and ham for thousands of years. However, if you look at the ingredients of each, they have all transformed. Bread may contain palm oil and preservatives, processed cheese is made with emulsifiers and pigs are fed soybeans – all of these changes have happened in the last century. The food has remained familiar, but it is not the same.
Food producers have successfully developed their products for years to bring us the variety of foods with different ingredients we have today. Most of the time the results are beneficial, making the food slower to spoil, easier to produce, or safer and tastier to eat. We can only expect more food development in the future. The next round of food development will be one that tackles the ethical and ecological problems of food production.
Solein is a natural ingredient with hundreds of uses
Our first product Solein is a novel food product, there are no existing handbooks which outline the best ways to apply it to different foods. That's why we must study and test it from the ground up and uncover the potential of this new food ingredient we discovered in the Finnish wilderness: its nutrients, chemical reactions with other ingredients, how it forms structures, and what methods we can use to turn it into food applications.
It's hands-on work: it is the job of our product development to test Solein with other ingredients and discover what we can create. With trial and error, we find stable combinations that can be replicated to create new forms or applications of the product. Once we discover the right structure and form, we can start developing and testing the taste and even give it to a chef to test in a dish.
We have already made over 20 food applications and there are more to come. For example, we cooked wild mushroom ravioli where eggs in the pasta dough were replaced with a Solein-alternative, the filling had Solein-based cream cheese and the dairy foam that topped the dish was created with a Solein-based dairy alternative. For our food scientists, it was a fascinating experiment; for our foodies, it was a delicious experience. Since then, we have also tested bao buns with teriyaki-glazed alternative meat strips, and a kaffir lime ice cream, all delicious enough to serve at a fine dining restaurant.
All food is chemistry and your tongue is the receptor
When you break it down, foods are multicomponent systems of different chemical components acting with each other. Solein is an extremely versatile protein ingredient chemically. We have methods of turning it into liquids resembling milk. With extrusion, we can give it a meat-like texture, or emulsify it with oil to create an alternative mayonnaise. Solein is also a highly sustainable alternative compared to meat and plant-based proteins, which require gargantuan amounts of chemical inputs: water, nutrients in the soil and fertilisers or animal feed. Solein production is easy to scale up because the key resources (carbon dioxide and renewable energy) are plentiful. Our first Solein factory, Factory 01, is set to be completed in 2023. It will be the first of many to come. However, even with chemical viability, industrial potential and miraculous ecological implications, food needs to be tasty. Even the greatest ingredient will go to waste if it fails to find its place at our dinner tables.
Farmers win too
Having the bulk of humanity's protein consumption produced 'out of thin air' means that we could restore traditional agriculture to a state where it is done sustainably: taking care of the soil, growing less but better, and caring for animals. Consumers would savour the ecologically farmed goods and pay more for quality. Farmers would ditch factory farming, find a newfound love for their profession, and get a premium for their natural produce.
You taste it best when you taste nothing at all
Solein's biggest hooks are its functionality, versatility, and – surprisingly – its lack of a distinct taste. It easily blends with other ingredients without interfering with familiar flavours. Our product development will keep testing to create new versions of beloved foods, combining Solein with other natural ingredients. We believe the future of food is one where we will still eat the foods we're used to. The caveat is that they will be made completely differently. But warm bread will still be comforting, cheese will have a creamy buttery taste, and ham will taste smoky and savoury.
Our newsletter "Digesting the Future" keeps you updated on our latest progress and the development of global food production.

If you are interested in losing weight, gaining lean muscle or simply getting healthier overall, call for your free consultation today! My approach is a holistic one that focuses on educating you on how to be balanced and connect mind/body/spirit. I specialize in women's health, corrective exercise, weight loss, personal training, flexibility, nutritional counselling, stress management, relieving back pain and strengthening the core.
Before an individualized exercise program can be properly designed a full assessment is done in order to find any muscular imbalances that may need to be corrected and included in the program so that you don't get injured. If you're not assessing, you're guessing! Throwing a bunch of exercises at a person will only lead to faulty movement patterns and injuries. Stress is the number one killer in this day and age and exercising to exhaustion can add to that stress by releasing more stress hormones and putting you in a catabolic state or muscle breakdown. Exercise should be anabolic or build you up so that you create nice lean muscle, feel better, have more energy, improve sleep quality and overall quality of life. If your exercise program is suited to your body's stress levels you will be successful. I specialize in functional training, corrective exercise, core strength, nutrition counselling and helping you to gain a better understanding of how your body's many systems work together as one organic unit.

Report of the Department of the Interior ... [with Accompanying ..., Part 1
By United States. Dept. of the Interior
south and west thirty-six miles, to form the base of surveys in the Owyhee gold and silver mines.
The work has been completed, and diagrams, with transcript of field-notes, transmitted to your office, except, however, about twelve miles of the meridian, near the south boundary of the district, which, owing to high water, it was utterly impossible to complete at the time.
The other contract, to A. M. Thompson, was for the extension of the Boise meridian north forty-eight miles, and the first standard northwest to Snake river, and east forty-two miles.
The standard west will be the base for the work in the Payette valley, and the same line east, for the survey of the mineral lands in Boise basin.
The contract has been completed, and diagram with transcript of field notes transmitted to the General Land Office.
The same deputy will extend the meridian into the northern part of the Territory, where there are large tracts of good agricultural lands, which are being located by actual settlers. The returns of the field-notes of the contract have not been made, but are expected in three or four days, as the deputy has just returned from the field.
In making the estimates for the office expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, I have only asked for a sum sufficient to meet the actual wants of the office.
The estimates for the field work for the same time are much less than might be judiciously expended, and will not enable this office to contract for the survey of more than one-fourth of the lands now in occupation of actual settlers ; but if this amount can be made available at an early day the ensuing season, it will meet the wants of the settlements, and I trust you will ask for this amount, which I propose to expend in running exterior and subdivision lines in the Pay. ette, Weiser, Boise, Clearwater, and Salmon River valleys, where the most urgent demands for the surveys exist, and where the soil is usually good and productive.
Exterior lines, sufficient to cover the most prominent quartz ledges in Owyhee, Alturas, Boise, and Nez Percés counties, should be run next season to enable this office to give a just showing of the extensive quartz and placer mines of these counties, as well as to enable the owners of quartz ledges to avail themselves of the benefit of the act of Congress, approved July 26, 1866, " granting the right of way to ditch and canal owners on the public lands and for other
purposes."
CLIMATE.
The altitude of Idaho Territory, with its mountains and table lands, renders the winters cold compared with the country lying west, but dry and healthy.
The Boise, Payette, and Weiser valleys are sheltered and mild.
SOIL.
The soil of the valleys is highly favorable to the growth of cereals and vegetation. Extensive crops are raised where irrigation is practicable. The alkali land, mostly covered with sage bush, has proved well adapted to the raising of grain. The soil, reported second rate, being decomposed granite, yields the heaviest crops.
TABLE LANDS.
The extensive table lands are covered with wild grasses and wild rye, and are valuable for grazing.
TIMBER. The mountains are clothed with pine and fir timber. The valleys are destitute of timber except a species of cottonwood growing along the banks of the rivers. The valleys are depending upon the mountains at a heavy cost for lumber and fuel.
MINERALS.
Gold is found on the lead-waters of all the rivers. Rich placer mines have been profitably worked or years on the Clearwater and Salmon rivers. Extensive placer and quartz mines are found on the Boise river and its branches, embracing several distr cts. Many rich quartz lodes of gold and silver have been discovered and partially worked ; their future development depending upon the reduced cost of transportation and other expenses, which thus far have retarded the growth and prosperity of the country.
The quartz and placer mines of Owyhee county, situated in the southwest part of the Territory, have proved to be eminently rich so far as developed. Some of the ledges are being worked with valuable machinery, repaying the capital invested, though at an enormous outlay. The quantity and quality of the ore already abstracted are favorable indications of their future wealth.
Several thousands of gold and silver quartz claims have been taken up and recorded, more or less prospected, but the heavy expenses under which the miners of this Territory have labored, has, in general, prevented their successful development. The near approach of the Pacific railroad to the southern borders of the Territory will materially reduce the cost of working the mines, when the resources of the country will be more favorably brought into notice.
POPULATION. From the most reliable sources of information the population is estimated at twenty thousand. This does not include the floating portion of miners, which this year has been comparatively small.
IMPROVEMENTS, ETC. The farmers in general have erected substantial dwellings, barns, and fences and are extensively engaged in planting fruit trees. Many thousands of apple, plum, pear, peach, and cherry trees have been planted, some of which are already bearing. These were obtained at a distance, under the customary disadvantages, but will, in another year, repay the risk and outlay.
By the 1st of December next the full amount of the appropriation at the disposal of this office will have been consumed, and unless another is made at the next session of Congress, there will be no funds to prosecute the surveys the coming season. All of which is respectfully submitted :
LA FAYETTE CARTÉE,

Mozart and "Miserere Mei, Deus": Unmatched Musical Genius
Photo Courtesy of biography.com
Michael Finnen, Staff Writer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is widely considered to be one of the greatest musical geniuses to live. A child prodigy, who was excellent at playing music before even reaching the age of 10, Mozart has many interesting stories surrounding his life. One such story, being perhaps the most fascinating one, is the story of "Miserere Mei, Deus." This song, translated as "Have Mercy on Me, O God," was a song composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII in the early 1600s. It was written by a man named Gregorio Allegri, for use exclusively in the Sistine Chapel. It was played as part of the exclusive Triduum services around Easter Time. Thus, no one could reproduce it or play it anywhere else, as only the Sistine Chapel had access to the song. It was forbidden to transcribe or play the music anywhere else, and doing so would result in excommunication. It remained a secret for nearly 150 years.
This is the point where 14-year-old Mozart comes in. While visiting Rome, Mozart went to the Sistine Chapel and heard the song. He was enchanted by the beautiful music. Later that day, Mozart went home and, amazingly, wrote down the piece entirely from memory. You may be thinking, what is so impressive about this? However, this shows how much of a true musical genius Mozart was. Transcribing a song is incredibly difficult, especially hearing it only one time. It is very easy to mess up similar sounding notes, and remembering the song from only one listen is also incredibly challenging. However, what I just told you was the difficulty of transcribing a normal song. What Mozart transcribed was "Miserere Mei, Deus", a 15 minute long, 9 part choral song. Essentially, Mozart transcribed 9 different lines of melody, playing all at once for 15 minutes straight, from his own memory after hearing the song only once. Not only was he able to transcribe the song, but he also did it nearly perfectly in one try.
Mozart would go back a few days later to make corrections to his transcription. Eventually, it was discovered that he had made this piece. However, Mozart was never punished. Instead, the Pope summoned him and commended him for his immense feat of musical genius. It is debated whether this story actually ever happened as a 14-year-old boy being able to make such an accomplishment is certainly suspect. While perhaps it cannot be proven, it is certainly a fascinating story and cements Mozart as a true genius of music, nearly unmatched in all of history.

There are savants that can do this. While extremely rare, savantism can occur in high functioning individuals. Daniel Tammet is a rare example of high functioning autistic savantism.
I don't know if Mozart was on the spectrum, but he certainly seems to exhibit signs of high functioning, prodigious savantism. It is not unbelievable at all.

The Impressions – Check Out Your Mind!
Published By – Curtom Publishing Co.
Check Out Your Mind was twelfth studio and last Impressions' album on which Curtis Mayfield would be singing as a member of the Chicago based blues and rhythm group, where the title track opened the adventure with a blistering bit of psychedelic soul, filled material that epitomized the essences of being black in the 1960's all before Mayfield set out on his own and created his sensational Super Fly album.
The Impressions were incredibly popular during those years with songs of love, loss and social commentary, all filled with dynamic rhythms, splendid horn arrangements and infectious beats based around the heritage of urban soul, regarded as being one of singular influences for Bob Marley & The Wailers. The Impressions fused their music with lush smooth harmonies, though by this time, Curtis Mayfield was injecting more material containing social consciousness and the power of being black. As with many groups, especially those who relied on using material often penned for them by others, the remaining members were feeling unsure about taking this step with Mayfield, leaving Curtis to to venture down that avenue alone. Whether this was or wasn't a good choice is debatable, as the Super Fly album may just have been a bit more luscious with some or all of his old bandmates … though had Curtis not left the group, they no doubt would have become Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions very quickly.
The album is seriously funky, laced with undeniable grooves that reach out to tickle your toes into dancing along. The record is rhythmically diverse, with ballads often filtered with Latin influences, as opposed to the funkier Motown stompers of the time. Oddly enough Mayfield's vocals (with the Impressions) had a childlike quality to them, one of purity and wonder, and if stood up against his solo material, the change was nothing short of astounding.
Each of the Impressions' albums offered up something different, embracing something different as influences changed and shifted. Check Out Your Mind is an insanely good album, and being re-released on Rhino from source material, there's no excuse for anyone not to own this gem … so sit back, slide into its grooves and allow your mind to be blown.


Super fast charging and compact / slick design - love it. Just have one question that I can't find the answer to - does it turn off by itself or do I need to manually turn it off ?
It's a high quality product. Good performance, Good price, Good shape. I am satisfied of my purchase.

Each project included in The ASAP Priceless Gift Catalog was established for one main reason: to share the priceless gift of salvation with the people of Southeast Asia. Choose projects that fit you, speak to your heart and suit your budget. Every project — no matter the size — involves you in spreading the gospel to Southeast Asians before Jesus comes.
"Teach me your ways so I may know you..."
Each ASAP education project exists and grows out of love for the under-privileged women and children in Southeast Asia. Each meal is prepared with a heart of love. Each lesson the literacy teachers teach, is taught in a spirit of love. Through this process, the recipients get to know God, their merciful Father for the first time and many cannot help but fall in love with Him. Your "love gifts" for these projects help ASAP offer the truest and best form of education to the illiterate in Southeast Asia.
Your support for evangelism projects in this section provides some of the tools ASAP missionaries need to accomplish their God-given vision. "He who had rained manna from heaven for Israel and had fed Elijah in the time of famine provided in a heathen land a refuge for Mary and the child Jesus. And through the gifts of the magi from a heathen country, the Lord supplied the means for the journey into Egypt and the sojourn in a land of strangers" (Desire of Ages, pg. 65). In the same way, God will equip His missionaries in Southeast Asia.
Jesus lived a humble life of service to the sick and suffering, setting an example for our lives and ministry. Your sacrificial gifts for humanitarian projects fuel the ASAP missionaries' compassionate efforts to meet the wounded where they are. Every humanitarian project is intimately linked to the mission of ASAP to reach the suffering for Christ.
"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them."
1 Corinthians 12:26 says that we are one body. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. This is why we care for the persecuted in closed countries of the world. By coming alongside your persecuted brothers and sisters through your prayers and support, you are fellowshipping with them in the suffering of Jesus. (1 Peter 4:13) What a privilege!
When you sponsor a church planter, medical missionary, or teacher you are multiplying your witness. While you sleep, because of you, someone on the other side of the world is sharing Jesus. Each precious worker is surrounded by thousands of people who live without the knowledge of God or the hope of the resurrection. Now that can change. Your sponsorship of a child means a whole new future is open to him or her through education. It also means a full stomach instead of hunger. Feel their joy and you know something about God's joy!
"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ"
God has done wonderful things in Southeast Asia and eagerly wait to do more. We have put together the stories of His mission miracles and invite you to pass on the good news. When you order these resources to share them, you open the door for others to be a channel of God's blessing to the world. In turn they also will be surely blessed. Enjoy also the training materials to help you, your family, and your church be used by God to reach the many immigrants and refugees that have moved next door.
