Dispatch, Cuba: A cigar factory tour
By Gay Nagle Myers
Caribbean editor Gay Nagle Myers is in Cuba on a six-day Friendly Planet travel agent fam trip, exploring Havana and its environs.
HAVANA -- The best piece of advice I heard today came from Elias Aseff Alfonso, a colorful narrator who explained how the origin and meaning of the African-Cuban religion of Santeria, a fusion of African belief systems, is portrayed in street art and music.
At the end of his dialogue, he laughed and said, "Enjoy my country, but don't try to understand it."
With that, four barefoot costumed Santeria dancers launched into an energetic, lively performance of dance on the cobblestones of Callejon de Hamel, one of the shortest but most interesting streets in Havana.
The storefronts and stone walls of the street are lined with artists' studios, vivid drawings, murals and sayings that reflect the culture and religious beliefs in this area of Havana.
Three days into a jam-packed itinerary, I am taking Alfonso's advice. So are the agents I'm with.
A tour of the Corona cigar factory, the biggest of the six government-run cigar factories in Cuba, was another glimpse into a way of life in Cuba.
Camillo, our guide, told us the factory turns out 30,000 cigars a day for 27 cigar brands.
Cigars, rum and coffee are Cuba's top purchases for travelers.
The factory floors resembled a sweatshop from the 1920s, with workers sorting tobacco leaves in one section. In other section, row upon row of workers cut, rolled and pressed tobacco leaves into cigars hour after hour.
On other floors, quality-control workers checked each cigar for defects. Those that were rejected later become chewing tobacco. Nothing is wasted.
The cigar rollers sat in straight-backed wooden chairs in large rooms where the humidity was kept at 90% to preserve the leaves.
"We have 625 employees here, 325 are cigar rollers. It takes nine months of training to become a roller and years to become a very good one," Camillo said.
"They have to roll 100 cigars a day. They're paid by the quality of the cigars they roll and the number. The workers get paid extra if they roll more than 100. Every worker gets five cigars a day to bring home. They can leave when they meet their quota or stay later each day if they want to roll more," he said.
The factory day runs from 7:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Average salary is about $20 a month.
Photos weren't allowed inside the factory. Before we left, we visited the cigar store.
Our guide Ari observed later, "You Americans really love to shop."
A popular request was the Splendida cigar, a brand favored by Fidel Castro in the years he smoked.
"So sorry. The Chinese group that was here before you bought them all," Camillo said.
Later, we visited the iconic Nacional Hotel, whose walls and hallways are lined with black-and-white photos of celebrities, gamblers, musicians and politicians who flocked to Cuba in its heyday years, before casinos were outlawed and the embargo took effect.
My day ended with a performance of the Buena Vista Social Club at the Cafe Taverna in Old Havana. Cuban music from the 1950s was performed by old, talented musicians. Young, energetic dancers pulled audience members into the routines.
A ticket to the two-hour show costs about $30, and includes a mojito.
On the ride back to the Melia Cohiba in a '59 Chevy taxi, Junior, our driver, pointed to the sea wall along the Malecon, where couples, families and groups of young people were sitting, enjoying the warm night.
By gesture and a bit of English, he said that this entertainment was free. "This is where we have our fun, and we sing and we talk."
Junior, like most of the Cuban people I've met on this too-brief trip, is excited about the changes coming to Cuba, although with shrugs and gestures he pointed out, "We don't know all the changes yet, so we have to wait."
The people of Cuba are good at waiting. They are used to it.

Where is John F. Kennedy buried?
President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
And in this post, we will explain why he is buried here, and how you can visit his gravesite, and explain the design of this memorial to the 35th President of the USA.
Additionally, you can all visit the gravesites of his wife, 2 children, as well as brothers Robert F. Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, and Joe Jr.
Why is JFK Buried in Arlington National Cemetery?
On a visit to Arlington National Cemetery in March of 1963, just 8 months before his assassination, President Kennedy paid a visit to Arlington House, which had been recently renamed the Robert E. Lee National Memorial.
The president was a big history buff and he relished the chance to walk in the same room where General Lee had decided to resign from the army that he had served for 30 years.
Upon leaving the house, Kennedy soaked up the spectacular view of the cemetery as well as the capital city, purportedly stating, "I could spend forever here."
Immediately following his assassination, there were many questions as to where he would be buried.
Many people assumed he would be buried in his home state of Massachusetts as most presidents are buried in their home states, if not their home towns.
However, when asked, his wife Jacqueline, who was informed of her husband's words, stated, "he belongs to the people."
She realized that the public was in mourning and that a small private cemetery could not sustain the number of visitors who would want to visit President Kennedy's grave.
She thus requested that her husband be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Original Memorial
On November 25, 1963, President Kennedy's funeral commenced.
The ceremony was modeled after the service rendered for President Lincoln, also per the request of Mrs. Kennedy.
A space on the hillside below Arlington House was chosen as the burial plot by the President's younger brother and Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, and then later confirmed by Mrs. Kennedy.
The area overlooks Memorial Bridge and offers an incredible view of Washington, DC.
In honor of his legacy, an eternal flame was lit at the gravesite by Mrs. Kennedy.
Mrs. Kennedy was absolutely correct in her prediction of the public's desire to visit the President's grave.
Within the first 3 years, over 16 million people came to pay their respects.
Though the initial memorial involved just a simple grave marker, the eternal flame, and a white wooden fence, the vast number of visitors necessitated the erection of a larger memorial.
John F. Kennedy Memorial Today
The current design, created by a family friend and architect John Carl Warnecke, was to be simple.
It was to be a "grave marked by a memorial, as opposed to a memorial marked by a grave" in contrast to the more ostentatious memorials throughout the nation's capital.
There were two overriding design considerations.
The Eternal Flame
First, the memorial and grave would have to reflect early New England burial traditions, comprised of a simple granite headstone set flat in the ground surrounded by grass.
According to the Kennedy Library, the grave area also consists of irregular granite stones quarried near the Kennedy family home in Cape Cod.
Fescue and clover can be seen in the crevices between the stones to aid in the appearance that the stones are lying in a Massachusetts field.
Additionally, both the granite and marble you will walk on when you visit were quarried in New England.
Second, the design was to take into account Kennedy's faith in God. The new design incorporated the eternal flame from the first memorial.
Excerpts from the President's first inaugural address (including the famous quote, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" were engraved around the elliptical, and an elevated rectangle terrace was constructed to accommodate the graves.
President Kennedy's two deceased children. The first is Patrick Kennedy, who died in infancy a few months prior to the assassination.
The second child is Arabella Kennedy, whose grave marker simply reads "Daughter" as she was stillborn and did not receive a birth certificate or an official name.
His wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, was interred after her death in 1994.
Mrs. Kennedy came up with the idea of an eternal flame after having seen one memorializing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
HOW TO FIND THE MEMORIAL
The tomb and memorial to President John Fitzgerald Kennedy are located in lot 45, Section 30 of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC).
It is a 10-minute walk from the Visitor Center (map) and a 15-minute walk from the Arlington Cemetery Metro Station.
You will not be able to drive to the gravesite. Walking is how the majority of visitors reach it.
However, the site is one of 3 stops on the trams that operate in the cemetery. Tickets for the trams can be purchased inside of the Visitor Center.
Please note that you will be walking up a slight incline to reach the site. The site is wheelchair accessible.
At the gravesite, absolute silence is expected. Men are also expected to take off hats.
Robert "Bobby" Kennedy Memorial
If you are facing the memorial wall with Washington, DC viewable in the distance at JFK's gravesite, you will need to exit to your right
On June 6, 1968, less than 5 years after his brother's assassination and just a few months after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy was killed after giving a speech in Los Angeles. At the time, he was the leading Democratic nominee for the presidency and was serving as Senator from New York.
Again, there was question as to where he should be buried, but ultimately it was decided to lay Senator Kennedy to rest next to his brother. A funeral Mass was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, then his remains were transported on a train to Washington, D.C. Thousands lined the train tracks to pay their respects, delaying the train's arrival into Union Station until 9:10 p.m. A quiet and beautiful ceremony featuring 1,500 candles, Senator Kennedy's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery is the only one to take place at night.
Three years after the initial burial, a more elaborate memorial was constructed in honor of Senator Kennedy. The memorial features a semi-circular plaza, similar to the one featured in the president's memorial. On the hill side, stands a simple, white wooden Christian cross. At the time of RFK's funeral, this was the only white, wooden cross in ANC.
Opposite the cross, is a long, low-lying wall with shallow, calm waters with two inscriptions. The first inscription is an excerpt taken from a speech given to students in South Africa in 1966 championing the anti-apartheid cause:
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice. He sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest wall of oppression and resistance."
Possibly by design, small bubble peculate every few minutes from the back right causing small ripples waves to pass by the readers eyes.
The second quote comes from an except taken from a speech RFK delivered in Indianapolis on the night of Martin Luther King Jr's assassination.
"Aeschylus…wrote, "Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.' What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness; but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black."
That evening and for several days following it, there was unrest in many cities across the USA. Indianapolis was not one of them.
Edward "Ted" Kennedy Memorial
If facing Washington, D.C., continue down the path to your right to visit Edward Kennedy's grave.
Edward Kennedy, the youngest of the Kennedy brothers, passed away in 2009 after serving as Senator from Massachusetts for nearly 47 years. Known as the "liberal lion of the Senate," Ted Kennedy tragically lost his battle with brain cancer after 17 months. Following his death, Senator Kennedy's body was transported to Boston where it lay in repose at John F. Kennedy Library. Tens of thousands of visitors came to pay their respects to the veteran senator. A funeral mass was later held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica in Roxbury, MA. It was attended by many politicians, foreign dignitaries, and celebrities; President Obama delivered the eulogy. Senator Kennedy was then transported to Washington, DC, and a motorcade proceeded toward the Capitol before continuing on to Arlington National Cemetery.
Due to his 2 years of service in the United States Army combined with his time as senator, Ted Kennedy qualified to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He was laid to rest on the same slope as his brothers, just 100 feet from Robert Kennedy. His grave is marked with the same glossy white oak cross as Robert Kennedy, their's being the only two white wooden crosses in the cemetery. Senator Kennedy was a frequent visitor at Arlington National Cemetery, attending half a dozen times a year to visit his brothers and other loved ones. In 2012, a more elaborate pathway was added to the gravesite, connecting Senator Ted Kennedy's grave with those of his older brothers.
Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.
Continue down the same pathway to the right to visit Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.'s grave.
When the new pathway was added for Ted Kennedy's grave in 2012, a memorial headstone was dedicated in honor of Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., who was the eldest of the Kennedy brothers. Prior to his death, Joseph Kennedy was very much predicted to be the leader and politician in the family. As the first born son of Joe Kennedy Sr., the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Joseph Kennedy Jr. was encouraged to pursue politics after his service in the military. However, he was tragically killed in a top secret mission during World War II. Due to his bravery and sacrifice, Joseph P. Kennedy was awarded the Navy Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, and Air Medal. Following Joseph's death, John F. Kennedy, the second eldest of the Kennedy brothers, went on to fulfill those roles of leadership.
Unfortunately Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.'s remains were never recovered. However, in 2012 a cenotaph was erected in his honor.

How to Feed the World in 2050
The prospects for agriculture
In the first half of this century, as the world's population grows to around 9 billion, global demand for food, feed and fibre will nearly double while, increasingly, crops may also be used for bioenergy and other industrial purposes. New and traditional demand for agricultural produce will thus put growing pressure on already scarce agricultural resources. And while agriculture will be forced to compete for land and water with sprawling urban settlements, it will also be required to serve on other major fronts: adapting to and contributing to the mitigation of climate change, helping preserve natural habitats, protecting endangered species and maintaining a high level of biodiversity. As though this were not challenging enough, in most regions fewer people will be living in rural areas and even fewer will be farmers. They will need new technologies to grow more from less land, with fewer hands.
The problems to be resolved
Will we be able to produce enough food at affordable prices or will rising food prices drive more of the world's population into poverty and hunger?
How much spare capacity in terms of land and water do we have to feed the world in 2050?
What are the new technologies that can help us use scarce resources more efficiently, increase and stabilize crop and livestock yields?
Are we investing enough in research and development for breakthroughs to be available in time?
Will new technologies be available to the people who will need them most - the poor?
How much do we need to invest in order to help agriculture adapt to climate change, and how much can agriculture contribute to mitigating extreme weather events?
On horizon 2050 - billions needed for agriculture
Net investments of US$83 billion a year must be made in agriculture in developing countries if there is to be enough food for 9.1 billion people in 2050
Climate change will worsen the plight of the poor
Future of agriculture and food security closely linked to climate change
Africa's food challenge
Prospects good, resources abundant, policy must improve
Increased investment in agricultural research essential
Producing more food will largely depend on increasing crop yields, not farming more land
A third more mouths to feed
Food production will have to increase by 70 percent
The path to the Summit
Three important events have prepared the ground for the Summit:
The High-Level Expert Forum on How to Feed the World in 2050 examined policy options that governments should consider adopting to ensure that the world population can be fed when it nears its peak of nearly 9.2 billion people in the middle of this century.
The Committee on World Food Security considered reforms that will enable it to play a much more effective role in the global governance of food security.
The theme of World Food Day this year is how to ensure food security in times of crisis.

Book review #2: You are Stardust, written by Elin Kelsey, artwork by Soyeon Kim
Elin Kelsey is a Ph.D. in environmental science education and created this book as a jump-off point for teachers, providing lesson plans that integrate the common core standards of learning with activities centering on statements made in this book.
The artwork is NOT the typical illustrations you'd expect in a picture book. Rather, they are photographs of elaborate, multimedia dioramas that frankly blow this book far and away from others.
This book is an ode to how we are intricately connected to the fabric of the Earth. Through its framework we follow particles from the big bang through to the arrival of our existence on Earth, meandering along poetic stanzas that weave scientific facts into the explanation of the singularity of the our planet's ecosystem.
But the innovative beauty of the artwork makes this book special. I fervently wished they had published this book in pop-up form.
Being flexible in model making
Thanks again for bearing with another diversion. I will be interjecting for another book review in the next week!
In the last post when I talked about exciting electrons to higher energy levels, it got me thinking about what a difficult topic that is, without first explaining where electrons are within an atom, and what influences its location. We were taught many years ago that electrons are the particles that carry a negative charge, and orbit the positively-charged particle (proton) because they are constantly being pulled toward that attractive force. This attractive force is also what keeps the electron from liberating itself entirely.
An infusion of energy–from sunlight for example–can allow the electron to temporarily overcome the attractive pull of that proton. The electron can now jump to an energy level of a higher-state, because it now possesses a higher level of energy.
Throughout the years, many atomic models have come and gone. The currently accepted model is the Schrodinger/Heisenberg, which dispels the idea that we can determine an electron's discrete position. Rather, we can approximate the most likely region/s that an electron of a certain energy level can be found. This is called its probability distribution, and there are different probability distributions for different energy levels. So if an electron gets a boost of energy, and thereby enters a different energy level, it can go from one probability distribution to another, as dictated by that energy level.
Please folks, if anyone sees an error let me know!
SUMMER BIRDS, The Butterflies of Maria Merian, written by Margarita Engle and illustrated by Julie Paschkis.
This is the first "book review" of the science books list for kids which I introduced last week.
I chose this book with which to lead off because it features a little known female unofficial scientist who was the first to observe that butterflies do not spontaneously generate from mud. She further documented her findings in beautiful illustrations, thus making her also a scientific illustrator! Oh, and did I mention she was born in 1647, so just imagine what this truly meant!
The illustrations that accompany this story exude a traditional, folk-like feel. But the bold black backgrounds coupled with daring and inventive layouts, echo the subject herself. My favorite description of her is included in this collage from this book.
Though a picture book, a wonderful Historical Note is included for that all important 2nd audience to enjoy. Even if you're not into bugs, pick this one up, and suggest it as a reading list item at your local elementary school!
Out of thin air
OK, let's say yet another final word about leaves and their power of photosynthesis.
Now that we've talked about leaves and why they change color, let's look more closely at their all-important function, that of making food for the tree. How do they do it?
A plant's objective is to make excess stored energy to nourish the tree through winter. Therefore, it makes energy in the stored version of glucose. The sunlight powers a chemical reaction within the chloroplasts to bottle up energy within the bonds of the very stable sugar molecule. The energy can then be used when the bond is broken.
A solar panel's purpose is to convert sunlight energy into electricity. The panel is like a deck of cards (see picture), with each card made of a substance that promotes electrons to move in one direction, creating an electrical current. The middle yellow layer contains substances that either donate or accept freed electrons. So first, the electrons have to be freed, and then they are forced to flow in one direction.
When sunlight hits the panel, energy is imparted to certain electrons, exciting them to a higher energy level (level 2) that is enough to break away from its parent atom's attractive hold upon it. Now that the electron is free, it is attracted toward positively-charged materials, since it itself is negatively charged. Sandwiching the yellow layer is one layer that is negative (anode) and one that is positive (cathode). So all the electrons move away from the anode and toward the cathode. The electric current is produced.
The last step is to convert this Alternating Current to a Direct Current to make usable electricity.
Solar panels are generally around 14% efficient, so, a lot of continuous sun is needed to produce a fraction of the energy used by a household. A battery is also needed to store the excess electricity. Still, the addition of electricity produced with NO waste product is a huge advance.
The stars align
Every once in a while my universes align, as it did last week on Science Friday, a 2-hour radio show produced out of New York where all topics are on, you guessed it, SCIENCE! This time, however, my two passions collided, producing a baby in the form of a show about science books for kids! So, now that the kids are BACK in school, I wanted to plug this podcast, and the websites of the guests who recommended some books to check out. Could get some great book reports and even a love of science, to boot.
My goal is to take a few of these books and talk a little more in-depth about them, so long as I can get my hands on them from the library. There's a lot of potential to introduce little known scientists and pioneers to a new generation.
Here's the first batch. Check out editor Maria Popova's Brain Pickings site while you're at it, for books for the adults!
Color is KEY
I wanted to wrap up a few questions about leaves that had been bugging me. The first is, what is behind the brown leaves? The build up of tannins as the walls of the veins build up and cut off nutrients causes the decay, which results in the brown coloration.
Then, I wanted to know what purpose do orange and yellow coloration serve? The best answer I could find was still a theory: these are accessory pigments that aid in gathering sunlight for the chlorophylls. The natural follow-up question is, do red and purple also help chlorophylls or help make food for the winter? The answer again, is yes, but in an indirect way.
The generally accepted theory is that as an anti-oxidant, anthocyanin staves off leaf death, allowing for the chlorophylls to produce as much sugar as possible before the leaf drops off. How the anthocyanins do this is still debatable. The 2 theories listed to the right of the red/purple leaf have been proposed, but not confirmed.
One last post about leaves will cover what causes them to separate from the tree.
Cutting it loose
Our last topic rounds out the cycle of a leaf's life.
Abscission is the process by which the leaf gets separated from the tree branch. As stated before, the tree cuts off vital nutrients to the leaves in order to conserve the nutrients for the core, or trunk, of the tree. Abscission is accomplished by specialized cells (denoted as dashed blue lines in image) that build up a barrier between the branch and the leaf's stem. Eventually, these cells wall off the branch from the stem, and as the leaf dies due to lack of nutrition, it falls off.
All you botanists and arborists, feel free to expand upon my oversimplified explanation!
All the pretty colors
Here's our 2nd animation addressing why certain trees' leaves are more red or purple in color, as opposed to the orange and yellow leaves.
After watching this 1 minute animation, you might wonder, is there an advantage to a leaf turning red or purple?
Spring, summer, and now, Fall!
Now that it's getting cooler, our thoughts turn to the fall and the spectacular phenomenon of the turning colors of foliage!
There are so many things I have taken for granted for so many years, and why leaves turn colors is one of them. This animation is the first in a series about what happens to leaves in the Fall. Please indulge me and follow the link to an outside website where all my animation videos are stored. The video is only a minute or two long.


Deep Learning: Deep Learning is gradually coming to the forefront too, and it is gradually being adopted in data centers. For instance, applications like video, image, and audio recognition are being used on a number of verticals. While Deep Learning greatly depends on accelerators, it can be used for many assistive functions like cybersecurity, virtual reality, and aided transportation.
Blockchain: Bitcoin usage and the revival of peer-to-peer computing is imperative to the implementation of blockchain technology. It has therefore been predicted by the IEEE-CS that there will be an increment in the number of organizations that will be rendering blockchain products and consolidating the products.
Cybersecurity: Businesses, especially internet-based businesses, are beginning to appreciate the importance of cybersecurity although it is very hard to manage. Exploiters on the internet advance their game every time, thereby making it difficult for IT to keep up. This is why Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will need to be made stronger to block out exploiters and their sophisticated methods of exploitation. So, IT cannot afford to stop, it has to keep up with and overtake exploiters.
Accelerators: Accelerators have been seen as a way to enhance the energy efficiency and performance of hardware by reducing the costs at the same time. The IEEE-CS has again predicted that 2018 will see a broader and widespread application of accelerators.
Virtual Reality (VR): Over the years, gaming and virtual reality (VR) devices have witnessed immense growth in adoption. It is therefore envisaged that this growth will keep up with the modern user interfaces like movement detection and 3D projections.

Yesterday was pretty well a washout with almost steady rain (not showers) and a stiff easterly wind. A brave crew put up a couple of nets during a lull but had to close them after about an hour. Still, Marnie was able to get a census done so all was not lost.
I had high hopes for today but I think that the showers on and off through the night kept birds in place rather than moving on so things were fairly quiet. To back this up we had more retraps than newly banded birds suggesting that many birds had stayed put. We'll see what tomorrow brings…..
In the first 10 days of September we banded an average of 21 birds per day. This is our lowest average since I began calculating this stat in 2011 and well below the 7-year average of 33.3.

The day Eric Dickerson took the NFL's single-season rushing record from O.J. Simpson
It took 215 yards on 27 carries, but by game's end, Dickerson had passed The Juice
Eric Dickerson #29 of the Los Angeles Rams broke O.J. Simpson's single-season rushing record on December 9, 1984. Dickerson played for the Rams from 1983-87. Focus on Sport/Getty Images
Eric Dickerson planned to break O.J. Simpson's single-season rushing record in Week 16 of the 1984 NFL season.
Everything had been mapped out: Dickerson would get 100 or so yards against the Houston Oilers in Week 15, and then the Los Angeles Rams running back would accomplish the feat in the season finale in a nationally televised game against the San Francisco 49ers, with Simpson sitting in the announcer's booth.
As the old saying goes, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. What ended up happening was the Oilers made Dickerson so mad, he said forget waiting until Week 16 and decided to break the record in their game on Dec. 9, 1984.
Dickerson rushed for 215 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries in a 27-16 victory to break Simpson's record of 2,003 yards. Simpson, "The Juice," needed 332 rushes and 14 games to reach 2,003 in 1973, while Dickerson required 353 rushes and 15 contests. Both had 13 touchdowns when they set the record.
"They were saying things, dirty things, grabbing my face mask, taking cheap shots," Dickerson told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm from the Houston area, and when I was drafted I said I didn't want to go to Houston. I didn't see that team going anywhere.
"A lot of them took that personally. They were out there … on tackles, they'd twist my head, my knees, my ankles."
Houston made a series of mistakes leading up to Dickerson running all over them. The worst, though, was coming into Anaheim Stadium with the league's 28th-ranked rushing defense, talking big-boy trash and infuriating Dickerson.
Actually, the future Hall of Fame running back wasn't just furious, he was a cross between The Hulk's trademark "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" and Marvin the Martian's "You have made me very angry, very angry indeed."
"I was getting ticked," he told the Times. "I told them, 'It's gonna be rough on y'all today.'
"I had hoped to do it in San Francisco, in front of national TV, but they got me mad with all their talking. I told our line, 'We're gonna get it today.' I was going to make it a long day for them."
The Oilers forgot (or possibly didn't care) that Dickerson and his family were from the Houston region and that their comments to the local paper would eventually get back to him.
They told the Houston papers that Dickerson wasn't all that good. It was his line that made him the player he was. Dickerson, according to the Oilers, was just an average Joe behind a superior line. A hype job, they said.
"My friends back home called me and read what they were saying," Dickerson said. "They said the line did most of the work and that I'm just an average back."
Dickerson made sure the Oilers had no doubts after the game.
On the record-breaking run, the 27th for the Rams back, he required only 5 yards to tie Simpson, 6 to surpass him. Dickerson lined up behind Los Angeles' Jeff Kemp, took the pitch, "47-gap" in the Rams' playbook, cut to the right side and broke several would-be tackles before Houston's Gregg Bingham dragged him to the ground after a 9-yard gain.
Dickerson became the new owner of the record with 3:22 remaining, and he put an end not only to the Oilers running their mouths but also the questions about when he'd break the record, what he thought of Simpson needing only 14 games to do it and how he'd feel after the milestone.
"I'm glad to get that all behind me," said Dickerson, who would finish the season with 2,105 yards. "I was tired of hearing about it, being asked about it. I was even dreaming about it.
"That's what everybody says — O.J. got his in 14 games, I got mine in 15. My thing is, nobody has run for 2,000 since O.J.
"People talk about the greatest runners — some say Walter [Payton] is the best, some say O.J., some may say me, some say Jim Brown. I just say, I'm good."
Dickerson ended the game with 2,007 yards and finished the season with 2,105.

Democratic rivals rush to slow front-runner Bernie Sanders
Self-described democratic socialist is coming off a landslide victory in Nevada and an upward trend in the polls, ahead of US election

Worried Democrats on Monday intensified their assault against the party's presidential front-runner, Bernie Sanders, as the Vermont senator marched toward South Carolina's weekend primary eyeing a knockout blow.
At least three leading candidates, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg and Mike Bloomberg, reinforced their anti-Sanders rhetoric with paid attack ads for the first time. And a new political group was spending big to undermine Sanders' standing with African American voters.
"Socialist Bernie Sanders is promising a lot of free stuff," says a brochure sent to 200,000 black voters in South Carolina by The Big Tent Project, a new organisation trying to derail Sanders' candidacy. "Nominating Bernie means we reelect Trump. We can't afford Bernie Sanders."
The multi-pronged broadside just five days before South Carolina's first-in-the-South primary represents the Democrats' most aggressive attempt to knock Sanders down. It reflects growing concern within his party that the self-described democratic socialist is tightening his grip on the presidential nomination while they fear he's too extreme to defeat US President Donald Trump this fall.
Coronavirus: WHO tells world to brace for 'potential pandemic'
It also underscores the precarious state of Biden's campaign. The former vice-president has long been viewed as the unquestioned front-runner in South Carolina because of his support from black voters. But as the contest nears, Sanders is also making a strong play here. If he can eat into Biden's base of support, that would raise fundamental questions about the future of Biden's candidacy.
Sanders has shifted new staff into the state from Nevada in the last 24 hours, expanded his South Carolina advertising and added events to his schedule.
Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver said there was an "air of desperation" to the fresh attacks on his candidate.

"You've got candidates, you've got super PACs, all piling on to stop Bernie Sanders," Weaver said. "They know he has the momentum in the race."
Biden still predicted he would win "by plenty" in Saturday's contest, the first with a sizeable black population to weigh in.
Super Tuesday
Beyond South Carolina, polls suggest Sanders will perform well when more than a dozen states vote in the March 3 Super Tuesday contests. That's when critics fear Sanders could build an insurmountable delegate lead.
Sanders was the focus of Buttigieg's first attack ad of the 2020 campaign. In the ad, which began running Monday as part of the former South Bend mayor's multimillion-dollar South Carolina advertising campaign, Buttigieg highlights Sanders' call for a government-financed health care system as an example of the Democratic front-runner's "polarisation."
Biden released an online ad accusing Sanders of trying to undermine President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign with a possible primary challenge. Sanders, of course, ultimately did not challenge Obama from the left.
"When it comes to building on President Obama's legacy, Bernie Sanders just can't be trusted," the Biden ad says.
And Bloomberg released a new ad of his own assailing Sanders' record on gun control, citing the senator's endorsement by the National Rifle Association when he first ran for Congress decades ago.
While he once had the NRA's backing, Sanders proudly proclaims his "F" rating from the pro-gun organisation now. And just last week, several gun control advocates who survived the Parkland, Florida, school shooting endorsed him.
Still, Bloomberg tweeted: "The NRA paved the road to Washington for Bernie Sanders. We deserve a president who is not beholden to the gun lobby."
Reluctant to tangle
One candidate who didn't take Sanders on directly Monday: Senator Elizabeth Warren. Though she shares many of Sanders' liberal policies and could benefit if he were to stumble, she's been reluctant to tangle with him throughout the campaign.
Some of Warren's supporters say she has to start drawing a sharper contrast with Sanders if she's to break out after middling performances in the first three contests.
"She needs to get out tomorrow night and get after him," said Beth Maass, 79, referring to Tuesday's debate. "She's in the lane with Bernie and only one is going to make it out of the lane."
Sanders may benefit most from the sheer number of candidates still in the race. There are still seven high-profile Democrats fighting among themselves -- and splitting up the anti-Sanders vote -- to emerge as the strongest alternative to him.
There was no sign Monday that any of those candidates were close to getting out.
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, who finished in a distant fifth or sixth place in Nevada over the weekend, announced plans to launch a $4.2 million ad buy across several Super Tuesday states.
Billionaire activist Tom Steyer has yet to spend money on an anti-Sanders campaign, but he went after him by name Monday before more than 100 voters at a breakfast in Hilton Head.
Steyer warned, "We can't nominate someone who is going to divide us."
There were also new signs Monday that Sanders' emergence as the possible face of the Democratic Party in 2020 could cause problems for vulnerable House and Senate candidates across the country.
Republicans working to win back the House majority jumped on comments Sanders made in a CBS News "60 Minutes" segment aired Sunday in which he praised the late Cuban ruler Fidel Castro for establishing what Sanders called a "massive literacy program" when he took power.
The House GOP campaign arm called on several House Democrats — including three facing reelection this fall in South Florida — to say if they'd support Sanders should he become the nominee. Members including Rep. Donna Shalala weren't happy.
"I'm hoping that in the future, Senator Sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro," the first-term Democrat tweeted.
Sanders was also in a dispute with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an establishment group that advocates for strong US-Israel relations. Sanders said he would skip the group's conference because he was concerned about the event giving airtime to "leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights."
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, called that characterisation "offensive" and "irresponsible."
Representative Elaine Luria, a Virginia Democrat who is Jewish, issued a statement condemning Sanders' remarks, which she said "contribute to the divisive rhetoric often used when discussing the issue of Israel's right to exist."
Watching the tumult from afar during a trip to India, Trump predicted a long and messy primary season ahead for his rivals.
"It could go to the convention, it really could," Trump said. "They are going to take it away from Crazy Bernie, they are not going to let him win."
He added, "I actually think he would be tougher than most of the other candidates because he is like me, but I have a much bigger base."

We are interested in the electrochemical and physico-chemical properties of individual inorganic or organic nano-objects (NOs) or small assembly of NOs. We combine in-house nano- and micro-probes (electrodes, pipettes) with an ultra-sensitive instrumentation for in-situ and in-operando studies. In addition to electrochemistry other techniques such as IR/Raman spectroscopies, SEM/TEM and AFM/STM (conducted ex-situ as well as in-situ) will be used to complement our investigations.


Mr. Yoshito Hori established GLOBIS Management School in 1992 and GLOBIS Capital Partners in 1996. In 2003, GLOBIS started its original MBA program which, in 2006, received accreditation from the Japanese Ministry of Education and gained "university" status. GLOBIS started a part-time MBA program in English in 2009 and a full-time MBA program in English in 2012.
Mr. Hori received his BS in Engineering from Kyoto University and his MBA from Harvard Business School. A former Sumitomo Corporation employee, Mr. Hori founded the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Japan Chapter in 1995 and became the first board member from Asia in charge of the Asia-Pacific region in 1996. He also served on the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s New Asian Leaders Executive Committee and Global Agenda Council on New Models of Leadership, as well as the Harvard Business School Alumni Board from 2005 to 2008. Currently, Mr. Hori serves on the Global Advisory Council of the Wilson Center (based in the US).
In 2009, he launched the G1 Summit - a Japanese version of the WEF's annual Davos Forum. This led to the foundation of G1 Institute in 2013, which Mr. Hori serves as President of, and Mr. Hori's publication of "100 Actions," a vision for a better Japan.
Mr. Hori also serves as the President of the KIBOW Foundation and manages the KIBOW Impact Investment. He launched Project KIBOW to support the rebuilding of the disaster-affected areas, just days after a huge earthquake struck northeast Japan in March 2011.

George Charamba said there had been an attempt to "put words into his mouth" via the Twitter account, believed to be run by one of his children.
"Just when we were in there, the President was drawing my attention to an attempt to as it were, to put words into his mouth using his Twitter account. So, don't always believe that which is coming through," Charamba told reporters on Wednesday after witnessing the swearing-in of the new Prosecutor General Kumbirai Hodzi.
The tweets went out following Mnangagwa's return to Zimbabwe on Monday night.
In one, he is purported to have said: "I invite leaders of all political parties as well as religious and civil leaders to set aside our differences and come together. What unites us is stronger than what could ever divide us. Let's begin a national dialogue. Let's put the economy first. Let's put the people first."
"When it comes to national dialogue, that's a necessary accompaniment of any democratic system. But if it's dialogue that is predicated on violence, on coercion, that will not fly," Charamba said.
"The key thing for all parties including those in opposition to know is that there's a way of engaging government without necessarily having to bring in people to do lawlessness and destroy property and cause loss of life in the country. After all, we have a Parliament, there is interaction going on. We have many other avenues, where interaction is going on."
He maintained that Mnangagwa called for dialogue soon after his disputed election win in August last year, claiming this offer had been "spurned because the opposition were still pursuing other avenues."
"When those avenues came unstuck, that's when we saw them do a U-turn to say you give us dialogue, if you don't we'll have rolling demonstrations. That's not how you engage a political system," Charamba said.
MDC leader Nelson Chamisa, meanwhile, had already responded to the purported Mnangagwa tweets, saying they would not enter any dialogue when the army was still brutalising Zimbabweans and "prisoners of conscience" still facing sham trials over the January 14 protests.
"Going forward, we must correct wrongs now. We call for an immediate end to the crackdown and terror that has induced insecurity across the country. We call for the unconditional release of all prisoners of conscience and political detainees whose rights continue to be violated," Chamisa said.
Noting what he said were "lofty words" that often come from Mnangagwa's Twitter account, but are not matched by actions, Chamisa went on: "Our solution to the crisis requires sincerity, honesty and compassion for those we lead. It's not about lofty words or wordplay unsupported by conduct on the ground."

Yes i thought about the performance part too. A massive fps drops surely bothered me in pw/pk even tho i had an average pc specs (maybe slightly under). I believe, in comparison to Warband, Bannerlord could be more optimized in the future. We will see.
This is why I'm worried about the transition of the community to Bannerlord. A lot of people who played warband did because it requires barely any specs and will run on their windows vista toasters. As a clan leader of hundreds of people, I'd say about 20-30% of them can't run Bannerlord. We will need to embrace the fact that a lot of people from Persistent World/Kingdoms will not be joining us in Bannerlord and the community will be taking a drastic turn of who is in the player base, even on day one.
๖Kern
To be honest, large PW maps were laggy even on very good gaming PCs. Bannerlord is optimized much better when it comes to big maps and high amounts of players. Also, the player base will be huge after reiteration of PW gets released on Bannerlord, there's really no reason to doubt that. It makes sense that newer games are more hungry for "hardware power." However, even if some people won't be able to run it, there will be a big influx of different people - new blood, if you will. From what I've heard from people, PW community became a big mess in the later years of the module. It's only for the better that older players get replaced by new ones
Well i agree with Kern that PW never had that smooth 120fps native gameplay feeling. You definitely had handicap if you played on toaster.
I have also another idea. If it wasn't already suggested. To add day/night cycle to the module as it shouldn't decrease FPS since in night there are no shadows or object reflections. You know, like set day on 2 hours and night for 1 hour. At night there would be torches in settlements automatically lighten up. Such feature would add more life to the module.
We'll need to see about performance.
Probably a good idea to do some stress tests really early in development , just a basic map where people can run around. Collecting some performance data from all clients and make a survey afterwards how performance felt.
All these crazy ideas how to improve performance are kinda so so.
Also, I heard about on NA Gedizz was planning on having multiple servers wherein when you got to a certain location of the map on one server, it would log you into the other where a continuation of the map would be so that there could be more people on. Is this possible and even recommended? I believe life is feudal and other MMOs use this sort of system. I imagine it could be quite weird if an army is trying to attack a group on another server but can't because the pop is full on that one.
Multipl servers to split the map or have maps "without seams" where you automatically will be transferred to another server for the next map part is not really trivial and only makes sense if you supply the horrendous hardware setup. If you set that up on one and the same server you will gain zero. And I don't think that anyone in this community will affort multiple servers just to host an immensly huge, mmorpg style map.
Day and night cycle might also not be the cure. There are still shadows draw each draw cycle for dynamic objects and pre-baked shadows will cost (almost) no performance anyway. Speaking of pre-baked shadows, a dynamic day and night cycle would mean that the BL engine needs to support real-time shadows for almost everything, probably even real time global illumination as I think BL uses GI. Not sure tho.
So ye, we just need to organize some tests in the community and see what we can do. I honestly have no idea how well it will run. The mod itself shouldn't be too demanding as it's basically just "Native with some extras on top" where most of the stuff is done server side and just the result is broadcasted to clients.
Warband was only able to run servers on one core to my knowledge when I was hosting servers. I am sure the answer is "we don't know yet" due to the fact we're still in the dark for private servers, but do you know if we will have a far greater capacity for the quality of a server box we can use? I imagine this will help out tremendously if it is the case.
Also, I imagine torches may actually heighten lag, no?
Dedmond
Sergeant Knight at Arms
For torches to work,the scene must be baked(meaning global illumination made by the tool). That one will affect FPS but not the torches themselves atleast not that much to be bothered with. As long as the torches are not stacked together (20 torches in one small room) then it should be good.
The Grey Pope
How many players can the severs be able to hold?
The Grey Pope said:
Varian King
I hope you were not involved in this scam game. It was called "Of kings and men. The former developer site now redirects to a casino site. I think that says it all about the former developers.
Varian King said:
OfKingsAndMen was released (early access) by former warband modders (probably Persistent World?), who then quit the game and left with the money.
Google it...
The dev team for Kingdoms is the same one who made Persistent kingdoms in warband. They were not involved in of kings and men
Good to hear, then I wish the team much success
Yep, we have no affiliations with OfKingsAndMen
Yeah, I don't recommend clicking on links to that website. I may have gotten a virus from it back in the day, but I was going to a lot of "questionable" streaming websites at the time and it may not have been the specific website it redirects to. Either way, best to err on the side of caution and just avoid it. There are thousands of legit online casinos if that's your thing.
SGaming_Can
they werent creators of PW, original author of PW was vornne, the guys you are talking about are creators of cRPG. No relation.
in either case, former developers of pw or not it isn't fair to say that about the team. They had done a great job when it came to their mod of warband. They did really try and achieve something nice with their game but things just ended badly, and they didnt end up making any real money off it so it wasnt a "scam and disappear" kind of operation. They did offer an explanation on what went wrong and what happened after they got cancelled.
Another note, PK is a submod for PW. Creaters of PK(the sub mod for PW) are not authors of the original "Persistent World" mod of warband.
Port!
I have a suggestion. How would you feel if the smaller factions like the outlaws could actually build small outposts? Especially if we have bigger denser forests, it would make the outlaws faction more fun to play as people wont always know where your hideout is, allowing you to pillage caravans and small parties of other factions without getting completely zerg rushed in the matter of 5 minutes. Would also make being a manhunter also fun too, and could introduce a possibilty to bounties and hired mercenaries being more important if a certain group of bandits take control of a certain trade route. It also gives big factions a thing to do.
Port! said:
Not a bad suggestion. I would personally like to have the mod to be about those smaller things too. Not only a factions warring each other. However i would limit the hideouts to a certain areas only so you cannot spam them in an inappropriate places. I guess we just have to wait if its even possible to make after the dedicated servers are released.
We plan to add construction to the gameplay. In which way this finally gets implemented is sort of unknown, as DaN pointed out, we'll see what dedicated servers bring onto us.
Also, as DaN said, placement of constructions/buildings will be limited to certain positions to avoid any exploitation of this gameplay mechanic and implementation for us will be easier. However, as with most stuff in our mod, we will probably just provide a "construction-side-prop" to mappers and they can decide where and to which extend buildings can be placed/built by players, so it all comes down on how mappers use constructable buildings.
In any case, this is a later priority in development, so don't expect this to be a feature from the get-go. Great suggestion tho, as said, definitely something we wanna do.

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common causes of injury, which can result in broken bones in just a few seconds. Slip and Fall Hazards can put You on your back and out of action. While it may be easy to categorise injuries as "accidents", the truth is that many of them could be prevented if the property owner took more care. Very often we receive request to solve a slip hazard problem but it takes a victim to have a nasty slip accident beforehand, that is a fact. They wait until someone has a slip or fall accident to confirm that a hazard actually exists ! The potential for a slip, trip or fall can happen almost anywhere and at anytime.
A simple act of negligence by a property owner can force you to endure painful and costly medical treatment and weeks or months off work.
Businesses will often lay anti-slip floor mats by doors and in well-trafficked areas but they present their won hazards. An overused mat will eventually curl or peel at the edges, which creates a potential trip accident. Mats that have been laid to soak up water or melted snow may become too saturated, posing a slipping hazard. Mats incorrectly laid may also have wrinkles in them or shift out of position as people walk over them, increasing the odds of someone catching the front of their foot as they enter.
Companies rely on staff to keep their businesses running smoothly, and that involves a flurry of activity and many different moving parts. Customers are expected to navigate restaurants with swift waiting staff and supermarkets where employees are constantly restocking items etc. The chances of a fall or slip increase even further if a business remains open to the public during a renovation or refurbishment.
Extension cords, ropes, power cables, and other lines run across walking areas are essentially tripwires to passer-by. If it necessary to run cords across walking surface, they should be taped down, covered with mats, and have a clear signage warning of the danger.
Slips on spilled water or ice are leading causesWater. Slips on spilled water or ice are leading causes of fall injuries, and there are nearly limitless ways water on a surface can lead to a fall. Outdoors, recessed pavement and potholes can collect puddles, downspouts can cause flooding across lawns and into businesses, and metal and wooden steps become slick after a few moments of rainfall. Indoors, customers can leave puddles from their jackets and umbrellas on rainy days, while pipes in restrooms and eating areas can cause puddles year-round.
Stairs pose a particular danger of falls, since a tumble down a flight of stairs or over a railing can result in more serious injuries than a fall on one level. Steps must be constructed and evenly planed to prevent tripping, be free of clutter or debris, and should be in good condition with adequate tread. In addition, stairways used by the public should always have strong handrails and proper lighting.
Pavements, Car Parks, and Walkways should be clear, even, and dry. Uneven pavement, broken concrete, changing grades, high Kerbs, potholes, tree roots, and even landscape edging near walkways can cause trips, especially if these areas are not well-lit. If there are objects blocking a walking path, pedestrians may suffer falls or other injuries by attempting to walk around them.
