State v. Gurley
125 S.E.2d 445 (1962)
257 N.C. 270
STATE v. Joseph Harold GURLEY.
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
T. W. Bruton, Atty. Gen., and Harry W. McGalliard, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
Braswell & Strickland, Goldsboro, for defendant.
PER CURIAM.
Defendant assigns as error the denial of his motion for nonsuit.
Levi Moore was fatally injured when the automobile in which he was riding collided with an automobile driven by defendant. The collision occurred at 10:20 p. m. on 31 January 1961 on U. S. Highway 70 west of Goldsboro. The Mercury automobile in which deceased was riding was being operated westwardly by Johnnie Exum. It was meeting two cars going *446 east, the second of which, a Cadillac, was being operated by defendant Gurley. Gurley pulled to the left to pass the car in front of him, and collided head-on with the Mercury in which deceased was riding. At the time of the impact the right front wheel of the Mercury and the left front wheel of the Cadillac were on the north shoulder of the highway about 2 feet from the hard-surface. There were skid marks 9 feet and 3 inches long leading to the rear wheels of the Mercury. There were no skid marks to the rear of the Cadillac. The Mercury was knocked 4 feet backwards by the force of the impact, and the cars were stuck together. Moore died about ten minutes after the collision. Exum received injuries and bone fractures which caused him to be hospitalized for forty-six days. The drivers involved were the only eyewitnesses.
Johnnie Exum testified in part.
"There was an automobile in front of me which I was meeting. There were two automobiles in front of me; Gurley was in the second, and he pulled off to come around and I pulled off to give the highway, and he took the same direction. It was very quick; the last I remember, I was trying to apply my brakes. I know a part of my car got off the road because I had already hit the dirt to the best of my remembrance. I would say I was about fifty yards from the car at the time it started passing the car in front of me. I was driving at a rate, I guess, of forty or forty-five miles an hour. I swung out to the right and applied my brakes and the last I remember the lights were in my face. I didn't remember anything for a while after the accident. I do not know anything else about how the accident occurred. I have told you all I remember about it. I was injured in the wreck."
The investigating patrolman testified: He arrived at the scene 10 or 15 minutes after the collision occurred. In his opinion defendant was not seriously injured. Defendant was walking around in circles on the side of the road. He was "slightly unsteady," "sort of staggering," talked "a little thick-tongued," and had the smell of alcohol on his breath. There was a pint bottle of liquor in defendant's automobile. The bottle was open but not broken off. The cap was later found. It was unscrewed and a little liquor was in the bottle and some had spilled out on the front floor board.
"Q. At the time of the accident, do you have an opinion satisfactory to yourself whether the defendant Gurley was under the influence of any intoxicating beverages? "A. Yes Sir. In my opinion he would be what we would call a borderline case of driving under the influence. "I base this opinion upon the way he talked and acted and by the way he walked and his eyes were also partially glassy. In my opinion he was not drunk but he was under the influence."
Defendant, Joseph Harold Gurley, testified in part:
"I drove up on a carI went to pass the car. I was driving 50 or 55 miles per hour. When I went to pass the car I could see the lights of the car meeting me, they were dim; I started aroundI thought he was further away then he was. I didn't speed up to pass the car and he was so close on me I ducked to the left to miss him and he pulled the same way I pulled; I didn't have the time to put on brakes, and that was it."
Dr. George R. Benton testified for defendant: He examined defendant at the hospital in less than an hour after the accident. He examined him particularly with respect to intoxication, and found no evidence that defendant had been drinking. There was no alcohol on his breath. He *447 treated defendant in the hospital for ten days. After the accident defendant was conscious but was suffering from traumatic amnesialoss of memory. Defendant's actions and manner of talking at the scene of the accident were caused by injuries.
A number of persons testified they saw him shortly before the accident and he had not been drinking.
PARKER and HIGGINS, JJ., are of the opinion that the evidence for the State, and the testimony of defendant favorable to the State, when considered in the light most favorable to the State, are sufficient to carry the case to the jury. They are of the opinion that when all circumstances are considered, including the statistical and inherent danger in a car being on its wrong side of the road in attempting to pass a preceding car in the face of oncoming traffic and the testimony that defendant had been drinking, the evidence is sufficient to permit, but not to compel, a jury to find that defendant was culpably negligent in the operation of his automobile, which proximately caused the death of Levi Moore. State v. Cope, 204 N.C. 28, 167 S.E. 456. They are further of the opinion that defendant's other assignments of error are without merit, there was no prejudicial error in the trial below, and the judgment should be sustained.
RODMAN and MOORE, JJ., are of the opinion that the motion for nonsuit should have been allowed. They concede that defendant violated G.S. § 20-150(a), in that he attempted to pass without having ascertained that the movement could be made in safety, and that this would be proper basis for civil liability. But they reason that the evidence is insufficient to make out a prima facie case of culpable negligence, proximately causing the death of deceased, for: (1) there is no evidence of excessive speed, failure to keep a lookout, or prior improper operation; and (2) the evidence as to defendant's consumption of whiskey, in the light of the explanatory testimony of the doctor and the fact that defendant was injured in the collision, will not support the inference that it influenced his operation of the car, and would be insufficient to support a conviction on a charge of driving under the influence. State v. Hough, 229 N.C. 532, 50 S.E.2d 496; State v. Flinchem, 228 N.C. 149, 44 S.E.2d 724.
DENNY, C. J., and BOBBITT and SHARP, JJ., agree with PARKER and HIGGINS, JJ., that the motion for nonsuit was properly overruled, but are of the opinion that there was error in the charge and defendant is entitled to a new trial. In instructing the jury, the court explained that the State relied, in part, on the contention that defendant had violated certain safety statutes, and instructed the jury as to the circumstances under which the violation of such a statute would constitute culpable negligence. Specifically, the court charged with respect to drunken driving statute, G.S. § 20-138, stating that the State contends defendant was operating his vehicle at the time in question while under the influence of intoxicants, and giving the rule for determining whether or not a driver is under the influence (State v. Carroll, 226 N.C. 237, 37 S.E.2d 688). The court's instructions clearly imply the evidence was sufficient to support a finding that defendant was operating the car in violation of this safety statute, and that such violation was for consideration in determining whether defendant was guilty of culpable negligence. DENNY, C. J., and BOBBITT and SHARP, JJ., are of the opinion the evidence was insufficient to support such finding, and that the court's instructions were, in this respect, erroneous and prejudicial. "It is error for the court to charge upon an abstract principle of law which is not presented by the evidence in the case." 4 Strong: N.C.Index, s. 33, p. 334.
A majority of the Court is of the opinion that the motion for nonsuit was properly overruled. This is the law of the case if the evidence upon retrial is substantially the same as appears in the *448 record on appeal. RODMAN and MOORE, JJ., agree that, notwithstanding their opinion that the State should have been nonsuited, there was error in the charge in the respect indicated in the preceding paragraph. Therefore, a majority of the Court is of the opinion there was error in the charge. This entitles defendant to a new trial.
Venire de novo.

Source & Format: Netgalley & Author–eBook Thank you Kensington Books & Kate L Mary for the opportunity!
Note: This was originally published as a Fresh Friday Post on May 29, 2015 where only The List was reviewed. As of March 18, 2016 it is now the Series Review Post.
I love making lists–I make them for everything! Whether it's books to read to tasks I need to do in a day, I constantly make them. So when I saw this book was about a girl making a list of things to do for college–yeah, I was so there!
My only hesitation was the promise of a love triangle–I really hate those! But, the synopsis lead me to believe that it really was going to be one sided so I went in hoping for the best!
Unfortunately, there really isn't much going on besides Annie flip-flopping between the two guys–more on that particular situation later. It's a shame because I think if the focus was on Annie finding herself as a person WITHOUT a man, it would have been a great story. More of a coming of age instead of a "why doesn't he love me" type of situation.
There is also the mystery of Annie's mother's death and why it had such a huge impact on her upbringing. Again, I wish it was elaborated more because it really would have helped develop Annie's character and maybe garner some sympathy from me as a reader because Annie sure wasn't getting any from me!
I didn't really like Annie; she irritated me for a few reasons. One is that I didn't understand her. I'll touch on it in a bit in my romance section, but I really didn't like how she treated one of the guys. It was like he would say one thing honestly and she would just snap at him; but if the other guy said it to her she was like "oh, ok". It just rubbed me the wrong way as did some of her other actions. She is a very selfish, reckless character who really didn't think about the consequences of her actions and did things simply because she could. Which, I get given her home life and all but these were just poor decisions.
The two love interests, Ryan and Chris, weren't anything special either. They were your typical love interests: the super nice guy and the off-limits sensitive boy. And I really didn't understand why they instantly loved Annie besides her looks because she wasn't any prize in my eyes and they really didn't talk to each other much either.
And so begins the saga of Annie flopping like a fish between the two guys (the worst part of a love triangle ever!). Whining that the guy she likes, and who likes her back, is too "honourable"/weak to tell his BFF that he likes the same girl he likes because he is sexually attracted to her.
The whole situation I found to be extremely immature and annoying. I also didn't know why the boys liked her so much because they really didn't interact all that much or really spend that much time together to warrant such strong feelings. It just didn't add up for me which is very disappointing.
Despite not liking this book, I do want to read No Regrets. I really liked these characters and want to know their story. I'm undecided about Moving On–I'll have to read the full synopsis when it's released to make a decision though I feel like the unresolved events in The List will cause me to read it anyways.
I was looking forward to reading this story because I'm a sucker for the "forbidden" romance trope. Not that this romance was forbidden, more like it was "off-limits".
It took me awhile to like Cami. She's a bit of a rambling person and it makes her come across as an airhead (and I think she is to a certain degree) but I knew that she was going to have some strong character development as the story progressed.
Unfortunately, I wanted to read about her falling in love. I wanted to actually see it happen and not have it neatly summarized as "we talked everyday for the next week and I couldn't stop thinking about him". So I had a hard time understanding the connection between these two beside physical attraction. Their relationship seemed like a side plot which is fine, just not what I was expecting.
If I had to give an overview of the whole novel, I would say it was all about Cami growing up. Which is why I would label this story as a coming of age story more so than a romance. Cami is dealing with some pretty heavy stuff and I did like that her character grew up a bit as you read. It took a while for me to get comfortable with that idea because I wanted it to be a romance. But once I realized the direction it was taking, I enjoyed the latter half of the book.
I also didn't realize that this novel would be a companion novel (ie. taking place simultaneously with The List). I actually liked that a lot because it helped me keep the pacing of everything and answered some of the questions you have while reading The List when it comes to Cami and Liam's relationship.
Having just finished No Regrets the day before, I was better prepared for the type of story I was going to get with Moving On. I knew it was going to be more of a slow burn romance story, with the romantic passion coming on in the end. And that was exactly what we got.
What I enjoyed about this novel was the alternating perspectives and their character development. I liked watching these two form their bond of friendship first and getting to know each other. I understood why they liked each other and how their feelings developed. Again, the story is more about them growing as people and coincidentally finding love along the way. It's a quick, cute read and by far the best of the series.
I will not be picking up the 4th book in the series.
The List was too much love triangle for me and not enough character development. Whereas the opposite was true for No Regrets. Moving On had a great slow burn romance but if you are looking for loads of passion and sexual tension, there are other New Adult Series that would suit you better.


HOWARD HUGHES will live again. So shall all who have died from Adam until now. And, like Howard Hughes, all took something with them when they died. By the same token, you are building something in your life that will survive this present life.
It's important that every human being know what this something is.
What about this riddle of life after death? Different religions have different ideas. Some believe in the transmigration of souls. Another religion says you go to a place called purgatory for a transitory life, later to be sent to a blissful heaven to abide forever in "glorious" idleness and ease.
Many Protestants believe all "unsaved dead" have gone to the ever-burning hell, being continually tortured by the most excruciating unendurable pain, while those who "accepted Christ" went at the instant of death to the blissful heaven with nothing to do but look continually in enraptured bliss on the glorious face of Jesus Christ. Other millions have no idea whatsoever. Many of them just don't want to think about it.
Notwithstanding, this question has everything to do with YOUR LIFE NOW – with its very PURPOSE – with the reason why you were born. And you'll rue the day you ignored or rejected the true answer.
He delved vigorously into an in-depth study of evolution, and of the Bible as a textbook on creation. He determined to know – to be sure – to find PROOF!
I was that man. Suffice it to say I found that proof and share it with those who are concerned. And I PROVED that the Holy Bible, in its original writings, is indeed God speaking – revealing TRUTH to those concerned. I give you here God's revealed TRUTH.
Multimillionaire Howard Hughes died. Adam and Eve and all their children, except those still living, all died. And they all took something with them when they died.
They shall all live again. God our Maker reveals to us that in Adam, the first man, all die. He says, "… it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Then again, "as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" by a resurrection from the dead (I Cor. 15:22).
God reveals plainly that all who die shall be resurrected. Our Maker holds out the sure HOPE for life after death by a resurrection from the dead – those who are Christ's at his now soon coming back to earth, others in a later resurrection to judgment (I Cor. 15:23-24; Rev. 20:11-12).
One whole chapter in the Bible is devoted to the resurrection – I Corinthians 15. And it answers in verse 35 the question, "With what body do they come?" God answers that they shall be resurrected NOT in the same body in which they died, but that God shall give them a new body. Those in whom dwelt the Holy Spirit of God – who were LED by his Spirit – shall come in a SPIRIT BODY (Phil. 3:21; John 3:6), and others a thousand years later in bodies of flesh and blood – material, as they were in this life (Ezek. 37). However all shall look as they did in this life – as shown by the transfiguration before Jesus' disciples. But, if the dead shall not be resurrected in the same body that died, how can they be resurrected either to immortal GOD-life, or to mortal, to the great final judgment?
How shall they all be judged, if they shall not then KNOW, as they knew, and what they knew, in this life? How judged unless the very CHARACTER built into them during this life also appears intact in the resurrection?
To understand that "mystery" we need to know what God reveals – but what professional psychologists do not know – about the human mind.
Howard Hughes did build a certain character in his lifetime. So did Adam and Eve. So did everyone who ever lived. So are YOU building a definite character – either good or evil or a mixture of both – in your life NOW. AND THAT IS WHAT YOU SHALL TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU DIE!
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT is the very PURPOSE of this present mortal temporary physical existence.
Day by day, hour by hour, year by year, you are developing a definite character. If you're not concerned about it now, YOU WILL BE – IN THE FINAL JUDGMENT, which NONE shall escape. And there shall be "weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Luke 13:28).
But what of that final judgment? And if the body that dies is not the body that comes in the resurrection, how can the precise image, appearance, memory and character be preserved and translated into the body that shall come?
To these vital questions science cannot give you the answer. The educational system cannot teach you – it doesn't know! Psychologists do not know! But God our Maker REVEALS the answers!
First, we need to UNDERSTAND the human mind. The brain of animal vertebrates is like the human brain. Animal brains, like human, vary in size. But the design, composition and entire structure is similar. They are qualitatively similar. The brain of an elephant, dolphin or whale is larger, but in design and structure very similar to human brain. Yet animals cannot think, reason, plan, design, make decisions. They do not exercise the same power of will, motivation, attitude as man. How, then, does human MIND differ from animal brain?
Science can find no physical basis for the vast difference. For science can know only what is seen, heard, tasted, felt or smelt. And the difference, which imparts the psyche or intelligence and thought processes to human brain, is not physical but spiritual. Spirit cannot be seen, tasted, heard, smelt or felt. The scientist knows nothing about spirit. Therefore science ignores the existence of spirit.
Science is confined to the physical and material. God is NOT physical or material, but spirit – invisible! Spiritual TRUTHS are not physical or material, but spiritual – entirely outside the realm of material science!
Science knows nothing of the things of GOD – NO COMPREHENSION – OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. INDEED, SUCH TRUTHS ARE FOOLISHNESS TO THE WISE OF THIS WORLD (I COR. 2:14). YET THEY ARE TRUE! They are simply outside the materialist's field. He is IGNORANT of them! Actually the highly educated scientist's mind is only "half there." He may possess much of the materialistic, but is in IGNORANCE Of spiritual KNOWLEDGE! So says the Maker of the worldly wise!
God reveals that the human brain was created incomplete. The first man, Adam, was created incomplete in two ways. A PURPOSE of his creation and being was to reproduce his kind. But the man alone could not reproduce himself. He was incomplete. He alone was of the male gender. He needed a female to be joined with him for reproduction. So God created a wife for him, named Eve.
Adam also was incomplete in mind. Within him was a spirit. Such a spirit does not exist in animals. Rather, the animal brain comes equipped with an automatic instinct not present in man. The spirit in humans empowers the human brain with intellect – the psyche aspect. Such a spirit exists in every human from birth. I call it a human spirit.
You read of it in many places in the Bible. In Job 32:8, "there is a spirit in man." In verse 18, same chapter, "the spirit within me constraineth me." That is, leads, impels, suggests.
The human spirit cannot see, think, hear. The brain sees through the eye, hears through the ear, feels through the nervous system. The physical brain thinks, not the spirit. Yet the animal brain cannot think as man does, or have human knowledge. The human spirit imparts to the brain the psychic power to think, know, reason, make decisions.
In I Corinthians 2:9, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart [mind] of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (that is, spiritual knowledge). How, then, may spiritual knowledge be comprehended? Next verse: "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit" – the Holy Spirit of God.
However, mortal man does comprehend materialistic knowledge. HOW? Only by the senses of sight, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting? NO! The cow, the elephant, the dog hears, sees, and has all five physical senses – yet the dumb animal does not comprehend materialistic knowledge, such as physics and chemistry, mathematics, the physical sciences. WHY? They see, hear, taste, smell, feel, yet do not comprehend. HOW, then, does a human comprehend these things?
For the answer, continue the above scriptural passage, verse 11, "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? …" The dumb animal has the same five senses and a brain of equal quality and design, yet the animal cannot have the knowledge possessed by the human mind. Nor could a human, EXCEPT BY THE SPIRIT OF MAN, WHICH IS IN HIM and not in the animal.
The human spirit imparts power of intellect to comprehend MATERIALISTIC knowledge that an animal cannot know, even though it can see, hear, taste, smell and feel like a man and also has a brain similar to a man's. It is the human spirit IN man – something that is NOT the man, but IN the man – which empowers the human brain to comprehend the materialistic knowledge known by man. It also empowers the human brain to think, reason, evaluate, formulate decisions. Being spirit, it empowers the human mind to manifest attitudes, good or evil. A person can have an attitude of friendship or of hostility toward another.
But comprehension of spiritual knowledge – the things of the spiritual GOD – is in another realm altogether. The natural, carnal human mind CANNOT COMPREHEND SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. The most highly educated human, regardless of the PhDs or other letters after his name, simply cannot come to understanding of spiritual knowledge – even when taught or revealed to him – without having received the Holy Spirit from God, joined with his human spirit!
The Holy Spirit of God does not teach or impart spiritual knowledge – such spiritual knowledge must be revealed or taught by GOD, his Word, or ministry. In like manner, the human spirit does not reveal or teach material knowledge. Such knowledge enters the brain through the eye, ear or other of the physical senses. Such knowledge may enter the brain of a cow or a chicken, but it won't have any comprehension of it. Spiritual knowledge may be taught to a highly educated PhD, but without the Spirit of God dwelling in him he will have no more understanding or comprehension of it than a chicken will have of philosophy when taught by a PhD. As the human spirit gives comprehension of materialistic knowledge when taught, so only the Holy Spirit within a human gives comprehension of spiritual knowledge if and when such knowledge is taught, read or heard.
But how, and by what means, did Howard Hughes take his character and memory with him when he died? By what means is such memory and character, as well as form, shape and appearance, transmitted after death into the body that shall come in the resurrection?
Remember, we are told in I Corinthians 15:35-38, the resurrected body shall not be the same body that died. God will provide a new body. Yet it will look the same, fingerprints and all. The resurrected person will know everything he knew before death. He will have the same character he developed in his mortal lifetime.
Yet in death humans know nothing – total unconsciousness (Eccl. 9:5). When Cain and Abel, sons of Adam, awake in the resurrection, it will seem to them to be the very next second after losing consciousness in death. At death the body returns to the earth from whence it came, but the spirit returns to God who gave it (Eccl. 12:7). The body, including the physical brain, decays – decomposes – and cannot retain memory, knowledge, character. How, then, is the same consciousness, memory, character, knowledge, present in the resurrected body?
There can be only one answer. The spirit acts as a mold. To illustrate: a sculptor makes a model out of clay. A mold is made around the clay, retaining the identical form and shape inversely. Molten bronze may be poured into the mold, and when the mold is removed, the solidified bronze comes out the identical form and shape as the original model.
The spirit is like a mold, retaining the identical form and shape, even to fingerprints, and also the knowledge, memory, character, attitudes, personality, of the person who died. The resurrected body, formed around that spiritual mold, will be identical to the original human body, brain and mind. The physical matter of the original brain and entire body rots and decomposes. But spirit does not decompose – nor change. What a wonderful means God has created!
You are developing now, hour by hour – day by day – year by year – what you shall be in the NEXT LIFE. THINK ON THIS!
Some people think: O well, God wouldn't be fair if he didn't send me to heaven when I die. I'll just live for fun and enjoyment and pleasure, and not worry about the future. Another becomes discouraged, frustrated, in a hopeless condition of despair. He thinks: I'll just end it all. I can't endure it any more. I'll commit suicide. But suicide won't end ANYTHING. The next split second of consciousness he is instantly (in his mind) in the resurrected life. He has the same mind – everything – except that now he is resurrected into the final JUDGMENT, where there shall be "weeping and gnashing of teeth." He will also then be held accountable for his self-murder! He didn't end it all – he plunged himself into the judgment!
However, the true, Christian, who has been called, has received the Holy Spirit of God, has started on his judgment now. The true Christian is BEING JUDGED, NOW!
But the true Christian must realize he is building, now, hour by hour, the character, either good or bad, that shall decide his ETERNITY! Salvation is by grace, not works. BUT, those saved by God's grace shall be rewarded BY THEIR WORKS IN THIS LIFE!
You, like Howard Hughes, are developing hourly in your life something you shall have with you in the life after this life!

Jewish American Short Stories
Hosted By: The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program at Case Western Reserve University
Telling stories has been an integral part of Jewish life, from the tales that make up the Hebrew Bible to those about contemporary Jewish experiences. Jews have long used the short story to organize and understand the world and their place within it. In this short seminar, we'll focus on stories written by Jewish-American authors since 1945. We'll examine how Jews have used the story to wrestle with faith, assimilation, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the construction of Jewish-American identities.

Johann Sebastian Bach - His early life
en,
This is the first of many articles about the life of Johann Sebastian Bach. After which there will be more to follow chronicling the lives of his many gifted family members. The legacy of this remarkably talented family ranges for more than two centuries from the sixteenth-century miller Veit to Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst (1759 - 1845), Johann Sebastian's grandson. All totaled seven generations of musical genius. But for now we will start with the early adventures in Sebastian's life...
Inside the Georgenkirche church in Eisenach, Germany there stands a baptismal font erected in the year 1503. This relic, which still stands today after much repair following World War II arial bombardment, has been the site of many significant events through the centuries. It was on March 23, 1685 that the town musician Johann Ambrosius Bach had a son baptized under then name of Johann Sebastian. Pastors of this church still to this day refer to this event whenever a baby is christened here. Of the two godfathers, one, the town musician Sebastian Nagel, came all the way from the city of Gotha. The other, Johann Georg Koch, was a forester in Eisenach.
It seems deeply symbolical that Sebastian Bach was made a member of the Christian community in a church so richly steeped in German tradition and legend. Martin Luther was a choir boy at Georgenkirche while he lived in Eisenach (1498-1501). From St. George's pulpit Luther, on May 3, 1521, gave a much inspired sermon of defiance after returning from the fateful Reichstag at Worms. But even apart from such a meaningful historical consideration, the church meant much to the Eisenach Bachs as the center of their musical activities. Now, in the building in which the greatest of the older Bach generation had been serving for the past twenty years, the member of the family who wast to excel him was being baptized.
No definitive facts are known about Sebastian's childhood. But it seems safe to assume that he was taught to play stringed instruments my his father, while his uncle, Johann Christoph, started him on the organ. When he was 8 years old he entered the Eisenach Latin school, attending at the same time as two of his brothers and two of his cousins. Sebastien excelled quickly, soon surpassing and holding a position higher than his brother Jakob, who was three years his elder. He achieved this excellent progress in spite of his frequent absences. His love for music and its activities not the least of which were the cause of these absences.
Fortunate was the congregation of St. George's church to be able to enjoy the Sunday music provided by the Bachs, with Johann Christoph releasing magnificent sounds on the organ, Ambrosius performing masterly on stringed instruments, and little Sebastian singing in a lovely, pure soprano voice. All the while joined by their relatives who were equally talented musicians. And even more fortunate were the Bach children who grew up in this atmosphere of deeply rooted and natural musicianship!
Adversity Strikes
It was only for a brief time that Sebastian enjoyed the happiness and shelter from so many in his loving and gifted family. For at the age of 9 he lost his mother, and his father less than a year later. Now his family had to help. Both Sebastian and his brother Jakob began to live with their oldest brother, Johann Christoph (22 at the time). Christoph was an organist in the little town of Ohrdruf, not far from Eisenach. In accepting them Christoph also accepted the tradition of musical assistance. We can imagine, however, that this hospitality was not easy for him. Their relationships required some building at first, as Christoph has left home to study with Pachelbel shortly after Sebastian was born. He was also recently married, with a baby on the way. To add to the adversity of the situation thrust upon him, Christoph was awarded only a meager stipend by the Ohrduf counsel.
Sebastian did what he could to contribute to the household expenses during the five years he spent there. And his wages earned as a singer were not inconsiderable. But once again this work did not prevent young Sebastian from excelling at Ohrdruf's highly renowned Latin school. He became a senior at the age of 14, the average age of his classmates being 17.7 years. In this school he received thorough training in Latin and, in what was important for his subsequent religious attitudes, Lutheran orthodoxy. His keen mind permitted him to enjoy the intellectual gymnastics of theological dialects. This was to develop later into a hobby probably unique among composers, that of collecting theological books and pamphlets and reading them by way of relaxation from creative work.
These studies only touched the very tip of his wide awake mind. What really mattered to Sebastian was the thrilling voyage of exploration into the immense domain of music. At his brother's church, he acquired a great deal of practical knowledge when he witnessed the construction of a new organ.
There is a touching story of how Sebastian stole a volume of music by leading composers that his brother had denied him as being too advanced. Lacking candles, he painstakingly copied the book by moonlight, thus seriously injuring his eyes. Then after months of hard work late at night, he was discovered by his brother and his copy was taken from him.
A young man strikes out on his own
It grew increasingly clear that Sebastian must not remain in the town of Ohrdruf for much longer. His brother's home was becoming more and more crowded as his family continued to expand. And unlike other institutions of its kind, Sebastian's school would place needy children into the homes of well off citizens. Nor did he have the option to seek recourse from other family members, as the number of Bach musicians had sadly been reduced during the previous decades. So by necessity, he had to break away from his family ties. He probably did not mind this too much. A love of travel had broken out among many of the young Bachs, whose fathers had so steadfastly worked within the narrow confines of Thuringia. Around the turn of the century, J. Nicolaus (27) went to Italy, J. Christoph (28) and J. Ernst (25) to Northern Germany, and Sebastian's own brother, J. Jakob (23), was before long, to travel as far away as Turkey. It is not surprising that young Sebastian himself began to seek eagerly for opportunities for study in distant parts of Germany.
Luck, or fate, would have it that a new Cantor named Elias Herda had recently joined the Ohrdruf faculity. He held a scholarship at St. Michael's in the city of Lüneburg in Northern Germany and informed Sebastian that the church was seeking talented singers. Along with one of his friends, he traveled 200 miles to the town of Lüneburg. Lack of funds apparently did not discourage the two from attempting the journey. In early March 1700 the two eager young men, Bach not quite 15, and his friend Erdmann age 18, set out on their adventure to Lüneburg. They left Ohrdruf just in time, for the church registers tell of a terrible epidemic that struck the town soon after they left.
In April of 1700 the list of the Lüneburg Mettenchor mentions Bach among the sopranos. He received a monthly payment of 12 groschen. This is very little, but fortunately did not constitute his entire income. For he was entitled to a share in all income earned from singing in the streets, performing at weddings, tuners, etc. Furthermore, he received housing and a stipend of firewood and candles as compensation.
Performing at Lüneburg was in many ways very different from what it had been at Ohrdruf. The church of St. Michael was enormous. The educational opportunities were ideal for a youth with such a ravenous appetite for music. Ever since the first protestant Cantor had established a music collection at St. Michael's in 1555, the tradition had been faithfully continued. The Thuringian Cantor, Friedrich Emanuel Praetorius (1623 - 1695) in particular had done a great deal to expand this music collection. The printed music included 1100 manuscript compositions by 175 composers, among them even two members of Sebastian's family. Thus the church had huge resources on which to draw.
Not long after his arrival did Sebastian loose his soprano voice. This did not mean dismissal, as in Lüneburg it was the custom to let the scholarship boys continue as long as they could. It is significant that in the year 1700 the church only employed three instrumentalists. Fifteen year old Sebastian was chosen as a violinist in the orchestra and as an organist.
Added to a very heavy schedule of musical duties was the school curriculum. Here Sebastian studied religion, rhetoric, logic, Latin, and Greek. Since his teachers were orthodox Lutherans, the religious foundations initiated at Ohrdruf were greatly strengthened, and were to remain vitally important to Sebastian throughout his life.
An excerpt from J. S. Bach's 'O God, Thou Holly God'; P.V/68, BWV 767. Written sometime before 1708.
In 1701 the excellent organ builder Johann Balthasar Held stayed at St. Michael's in order to undertake repairs to the church organ. Young Sebastian must have watched him with great interest, and listened to stories of other great organs on which Held had worked. The young Bach was thus able to add further to his store of knowledge regarding the construction of organs. A field in which he would later become the greatest authority.
Thus a variety of circumstances combine to give the young musical genius an abundance of different musical experiences. With passionate eagerness he absorbed them all until they all became a part of his own personality. At the same time nobody could have displayed a more fierce determination to absorb, and to exhaust to the uttermost limit, all the golden opportunities that were within his grasp.

This article appears in the CM Series, in volume 5.
"I don't know what to do with Fred, doctor; I am not in the least sure he will do my message. Indeed, to speak honestly, I am sure he will not. This is a trifling matter; but when the same thing happens twenty times a day--when his rule is to forget everything he is desired to remember--it makes us anxious about the boy's future."
Dr. Maclehose drummed meditatively on the table, and put his lips into form for a whistle. This remark of Mrs. Bruce's was "nuts" to him. He had assisted, professionally, at the appearance of the nine young Bruces, and the family had no more esteemed friend and general confidant. For his part, he liked the Bruces. Who could help it? The parents intelligent and genial, the young folk well looking, well grown, and open-hearted, they were just the family to make friends. All the same, the doctor found in the Bruces occasion to mount his pet hobby:--"My Utopia is the land where the family doctor has leave to play schoolmaster to the parents. To think of a fine brood like the young Bruces running to waste in half-a-dozen different ways through the invincible ignorance of father and mother! Nice people, too!"
For seventeen years Dr. Maclehose had been deep in the family counsels, yet never till now had he seen the way to put in his oar anent any question of bringing up the children. Wherefore he drummed on the table, and pondered:--"Fair and softly, my good fellow; fair and softly! Make a mess of it now, and it's my last chance; hit the nail on the head, and, who knows?"
"Worse than that Dean of Canterbury, whose wife would make him keep account of his expenditure; and thus stood the entries for one week:--'Gloves 5s. Forgets, L4 15s.' His writing was none too legible, so his wife, looking over his shoulder, cried, 'Faggots! Faggots! What in the world! Have you been buying wood?' 'No, my dear; those are forgets";--and his wife gave it up.
"He is one of the 'Boys' Eleven,' isn't he?"
"Oh, yes, and is wild about it: and there, I grant you, he never forgets. It's, 'Mother, get cook to give us an early dinner: we must be on the field by two!' 'Don't forget to have my flannels clean for Friday, will you mumsy?' he knows when to coax. 'Subscription is due on Thursday, mother!' and this, every day till he gets the money.
"I congratulate you, my dear friend, there's nothing seriously amiss with the boy's brain."
"Well, well, I didn't mean to frighten you, but, don't you see, it comes to this: either it's a case of chronic disease, open only to medical treatment, if to any; or it is just a case of defective education, a piece of mischief bread of allowance which his parents cannot too soon set themselves to cure!"
Mrs. Bruce was the least in the world nettled at this serious view of the case. It was one thing for her to write down hard things of her eldest boy, the pride of her heart, but a different matter for another to take her au serieux.
"Have another cup of tea, doctor? I am not sure that I understand. I know nothing about science. You mean that Fred will become more forgetful and less dependable the older he gets?"
"Don't tease me, doctor; you make the whole thing too serious for a laughing matter!" To which there was no answer, and there was silence in the room for the space of fully three minutes, while the two pondered.
"You ask a question not quite easy to answer. But allow me first to try and make the principle plain to you: that done, the question of what to do settles itself. Fred never forgets his cricket or other pleasure engagements? No? And why not? Because his interest is excited; therefore his whole attention is fixed on the fact to be remembered. Now, as a matter of fact, what you have regarded with full attention, it is next to impossible to forget. First get Fred to fix his attention on the matter in hand, and you may be sure he won't forget it."
To the rescue, Mrs. Bruce's woman's wit:--"I see; he must have the habit of paying attention, so that he will naturally take heed to what he is told, whether he cares about the matter or not."
"I'm not sure I see what you mean; but," said this persistent woman, "to return to this habit of attention which is to reform my Fred--do try and tell me what to do. You gentlemen are so fond of going off into general principles, while we poor women can grasp no more than a practical hint or two to go on with. My boy would be cut up to know how little his fast friend, the doctor, thinks of him!"
"'Poor women,' truly! And already you have thrown me with two staggering buffets! My theories have no practical outcome, and, I think little of Fred, who has been my choice chum ever since he left off draperies! It remains for the vanquished to 'behave pretty.' Pray, ma'am, what would you like me to say next?"
"To 'habit,' doctor, to 'habit'; and don't talk nonsense while the precious time is going. We'll suppose that Fred is just twelve months old to-day. Now, if you please, tell me how I'm to make him begin to pay attention. And, by the way, why in the world didn't you talk to me about it when the child really was young?"
"I don't remember that you asked me; and who would be pert enough to think of schooling a young mother? Not I, at any rate. Don't I know that every mother of a first child is infallible, and knows more about children than all the old doctors in creation? But, supposing you had asked me, I should have said--Get him each day to occupy himself a little longer with one plaything than he did the day before. He plucks a daisy, gurgles over it with glee, and then in an instant it drops from the nerveless grasp. Then you take it up, and with the sweet coaxings you mothers know how to employ, get him to examine it, in his infant fashion, for a minute, two minutes, three whole minutes at a time."
"Not a doubt of it; and you may rely on it that what is called ability--a different thing from genius, mind you, or even talent--ability is simply the power of fixing the attention steadily on the matter in hand, and success in life turns upon this cultivated power far more than on any natural faculty. Lay a case before a successful barrister, an able man of business, notice how he absorbs all you say; tell your tale as ill as you like, he keeps the thread, straightens the tangle, and by the time you have finished, has the whole matter spread out in order under his mind's eye. Now comes in talent, or genius, or what you will, to deal with the facts he has taken in. But attention is the attribute of the trained intellect, without which genius makes shots in the dark."
"Not a bit of it; it is entirely the result of training. A man may be born with some faculty or talent for figures, or drawing, or music, but attention is not a faculty at all; it is simply the power of bending such faculties as one has to the work in hand; it is a key to success within the reach of every one, but, the power to turn it comes of training. Circumstances may compel a man to train himself, but he does so at the cost of great effort, For the child, on the other hand, who has been trained by his parents to fix his thoughts, all is plain sailing. He will succeed, not a doubt of it."
"But I thought school-work, Latin and mathematics, and those sorts of things, should give this kind of intellectual training?"
"They should; but it's the merest chance whether the right spring is touched, and from what you say of Fred's school-work, I should say it was not touched in his case. 'Tis incredible how much solid learning a boy will contrive to let slip by him instead of into him! No; I'm afraid you must tackle the difficulty yourself. It would be a thousand pities to let a fine fellow like Fred run to waste."
"No? Well, Fred must train himself, and you must feed him with motives. Run over with him what we have been saying about attention. Let him know how the land lies; that you cannot help him, but that if he wants to make a man of himself he must make himself attend and remember. Tell him it will be a stand-up fight, for this habit is contrary to nature. He will like that; 'tis a boy nature to show fight, and the bigger and blacker you make the other side, the more will he like to pitch in. When I was a boy I had to fight this very battle for myself, and I'll tell you what I did. I stuck up a card every week, divided down the middle. One side was for 'Remembers'; the other side for 'Forgets.' I took myself to task every night--the very effort was a help--and put a stroke for every 'Remember' and 'Forget' of the day. I scored for every' Remember' and 't'other fellow' for every 'Forget.' You don't know how exciting it got. If by Thursday I had thirty-three 'Remembers' and he thirty-six 'Forgets,' it behoved me to look alive; it was not only that 'Forget might win the game, which was up on Saturday night, but unless 'Remember' scored ten in advance, the game was 'drawn'--hardly a remove from lost."
"That's delicious! But, I wish, doctor, you would speak to Fred yourself. A word from you would go a long way."

LONDON — Conservative Members of Parliament now fear that Theresa May's move to delay Brexit until the end of October will ultimately lead to the complete collapse of the project to leave the European Union.
MPs from across the party increasingly believe the prime minister's decision, which was taken at an EU summit this week, significantly increases the chances of a second referendum and a move to revoke Article 50 altogether.
"I have been saying for weeks that Brexit is hanging on by its fingernails," One MP who belongs to the Brexit Delivery Group, a caucus of moderate Tories who back the prime minister's deal, told Business Insider.
"We are rapidly hurtling towards no Brexit," Daniel Kawczynski, a Eurosceptic MP who this week resigned from the European Research Group of hardline Brexiteers, said.
Another MP, who recently resigned from government, told Business Insider this week that while revoking Article 50 was "unpalatable" for many MPs and wasn't "the best way out of this situation," it would be supported by a majority of MPs if the country was hours away from leaving the EU without a deal.
"It's the ultimate backstop," the person said.
"Every day that goes by reduces the momentum of Brexit," said one Tory MP who has called for a fresh vote.

China is looking to product domestic markets.
China's open-door investment policy, the hallmark of the country's remarkable economic transformation, is being squeezed by a protectionist push that may make it tougher for foreigners to do business, analysts said. Over the past few months China's ruling Communist Party has made it clear that after nearly 30 years of unparalleled growth, it wants to overhaul its economic model to better protect the nation's interests.
"The Hu-Wen administration has tried to adjust the economic development strategy," said Li Cheng, a China scholar at the Brookings Institute in Washington. "It is seeking more domestic demand, less foreign trade, more social justice, less economic growth, more inland development, less favorable policies for its coastal regions."
Beijing has justified the measures by citing the need to restructure its booming economy but also to lend a hand to domestic industries that are being outclassed by foreign competition. Officials blame foreign corporations for unfair competition practices and because they command dominant positions through mergers, brand management and abundant capital, more must be done to protect local players.
The apparent shift also underscores the tenuous legal environment for foreign investors in China even though the country is still opening up its industries as mandated by its membership in the World Trade Organization. "As long as China doesn't have real rule of law, foreign -- as well as Chinese -- business people there will have to rely on the good will of the powerful to protect their interests," said Andrew Nathan, a China expert at Columbia University in New York.

E2-E4: Peter Lang, Learning from Cybernetic Forests
"Now what?" (Part 1): Lives of the Artists' Book, Nov 9 2017.
Programme for E2-E4 Thursday, November 23:
"The effect of these weapons", Norbert Wiener wrote of scientific warfare in the age of expanding information networks, "must be to increase the entropy of this planet, until all distinctions of hot and cold, good and bad, man and matter have vanished in the formation of the white furnace of a new star." Are we on that star now? Or can we still salvage shards of reason from the (counter-cultural) promise of cybernetic emancipation? During this session we will discuss the architectural, pedagogical, ecological, and epistemological horizons of cybernetics.
Lars Bang Larsen, "NNWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH: Beyond Control"
A brief intro in broad strokes about some founding terms of the bag of fleas that is – or was – cybernetic epistemology, and how the '60s counterculture creatively misused it to create a machinic imagination of its own.
Peter Lang, "Learning from Cybernetic Forests"
Learning from Cybernetic Forests is about how a relatively little known architecture competition held in Florence in 1970 would become a key catalyst in an extraordinary rethink on architectural education, leading several young groups of architects and student architects to bypass the solution of the physical building and instead substitute it with a learning environment composed of immaterial information networks, modelled on nature, or on shopping malls, or on the latest cybernetic and space technologies. The main protagonists behind this shift were the groups Superstudio, Archizoom and 9999, who would come to be known as the Radical generation of Italian designers and architects.
About E2-E4
E2-E4 is the name of the most common opening move in chess, the one that sets the game in motion. E2-E4 is also the name of a program for theoretical activities, exhibitions, and publications at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm. "Theory" is here conceived not as academic superstructure or epistemic authority, but as orientation, as that first grasp of our own situation, and of its location in a wider system, network, or totality, which may allow us to begin, to go from the disorientation of undefined possibility, to the provisional determination of practice. The program will explore the use values of the exhibition as a critical information system, in the service of education, aesthetic experience, and public dissemination.
The E2-E4 program is created by guest professors Kim West, Lars Bang Larsen, and curator Stefanie Hessler


Until recently, the scope of hard things in my life has been managable. Like most, I've been through rough and painful seasons and challenging situations and struggles. Life is never perfect. There is always something to navigate through, and by grace we've always found our way.
There's been a lot of hard things.
I haven't known how to cope, I'm afraid of what is to come. I don't know if I have the strength to carry on. I'm afraid my joy is slipping away, and I don't know how to be myself anymore.
I've been lost in confusion.
But, I refuse to stay there.
I keep reminding myself of something I believe.
I've said this lots in my life. To my kids when they are facing new and challenging situations, to myself when I need some extra confidence, to those I see needing strength and encouragement.
I realize though, that the scale of hard things in life vary each day. One moment it could be a stressful work week, then all of a sudden you come face to face with something that could change the trajectory of your life.
Amid the darkness and the fear that we often face, we can have hope.
The one facing a cancer diagnose.
The parent believing in a healthy report for their child.
The couple trying to make their marriage work.
The individual seeking direction and purpose.
The one feeling the darkness of depression.
The family watching a loved one slip away.
The person feeling a grief so strong it hurts.
We are all doing the hard things together.
If you find yourself trapped by fear, wondering how you are ever going to make it out of the this season and be free from what hinders, you can have hope. Look to those around you for support, and look to Him for perfect peace.
You don't have to be weary. He gives strength, this anchor to the soul.
You can stand secure. He is steadfast and true.
You can trust. He is unchanging, full of grace and life.
Keep moving forward, keep being brave. Look the situations that scare you right in the face and remind yourself that you can do all things. You have been given all strength. What is in the world is not stronger that what is inside you.
We can do hard things because we don't have to do them alone.
« You are my mom, and you are good.
Thank you Shelly. We all need this! I don't know how you can do this life without God's guidance, love & peace that passes all understanding. P T L!
Thanks Shelly! I really needed this today. Beautifully written!

Having observed plenty of relationships, I knew that when I finally found my soul-thrilling, epic love, there would be imperfections in this man that I would have to learn to patiently accept. What I didn't expect was that the hardest person to love in my marriage would be the one staring back at me in the mirror each morning.
I struggle to love myself, constantly battling the poison of envy that breeds discontent and self-hatred, affecting my marriage in ways that all my relationship research didn't prepare me for.
Trained to desire the beauty, wealth, status, fashion, prestige, fame or physique of others, self-loathing has become a natural part of our make up. Comparing ourselves to others is simply part and parcel with what it means to be a woman. Right?
If we are honest with ourselves, how often can we admit that we have dressed up and done our make-up for the other women that will be at an event? How often have we instantly compared and sized them up from that first moment in the room? We may never admit it out loud, but haven't there been times when we've silently rejoiced at the disappointments of others or been resentful when life shines on them instead of on ourselves?
I know because I am the worst of offenders.
I even clothe my envy in more acceptable terms like "insecurity" or "feeling awkward" to hide the ugly truth that I dare not even admit to myself. In doing so, I've given envy the power to puncture my relationships and drain my life of joy and love. I've lashed out at my husband for a thousand self-inflicted wounds, feeding the beast rather than ruthlessly cutting out this poison that threatens to stifle our epic romance.
"A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones," counsels an old proverb. The scary thing about envy is that it twists us up and breaks us from the inside out. It quietly strangles our relationships as we constantly compare ourselves and what we have (or don't have) with that of others.
As with loving others, loving ourselves doesn't mean that we are blind to our flaws. It is not a self-inflated, self-focused, self-centered love, but a love that enables us to look into our own faces and not cringe, a love that accepts that though we are not perfect, we are made this way for a reason. When we truly love ourselves, we can rejoice in the good others experience and weep in their pain.
In a culture riddled with envy, this kind of pure self love is unique, refreshing, and intriguing. It may also be what attracts the other life-long romance for which our hearts yearn.


In the recent financial crisis, macroeconomic stimuli produced mixed results across developed economies. In contrast, China's stimulus boosted real GDP growth from an annualized 6.2% in the first quarter of 2009 trough to 11.9% in the first quarter of 2010. Amidst this phenomenal response, land auction and house prices in major cities soared. We argue that the speed and efficacy of China's stimulus derives from state control over its banking system and corporate sector. Beijing ordered state-owned banks to lend, and they lent. Beijing ordered centrally-controlled state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to invest, and they invested. However, our data show that much of this investment was highly leveraged purchases of real estate. Residential land auction prices in eight major cities rose about 100% in 2009, controlling for quality variation. Moreover, higher price rises occur these SOEs are more active buyers. We argue that these centrally-controlled SOEs overbid substantially, fueling a real estate bubble; and that China's seemingly highly effective macroeconomic stimulus package may well have induced costly resource misallocation.

Experts see no 'smoking gun' for Iran election fraud
By Andrew Beatty
Global Research, June 19, 2009
Agence-France Press 17 June 2009
Region: Middle East & North Africa
Theme: Media Disinformation
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election victory is disbelieved by hundreds of thousands of Iranians who have poured onto Tehran's streets in protest, but experts say hard evidence of vote rigging is elusive.
Since the government handed the incumbent president a landslide win over opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi hours after Friday's vote, Tehran has been convulsed by protests unseen since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Outside Iran, debate over the election result is split down largely political lines.
Former US presidential candidate John McCain, a conservative, has insisted he is "sure" the elections in Iran were rigged. With equal ferocity leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has lambasted "foreign efforts" to discredit an "historic" election.
But with few independent observers on hand to witness the vote, analysts warn there is little evidence of a smoking gun of electoral fraud, or evidence that would affirm a fair vote.
Statisticians, pollsters and Iran experts have been poring over the results for hints of vote-rigging, or the possibility that the controversial president is backed by around 63% of voters.
Ken Ballen, president of the Washington-based Terror Free Future think tank, three weeks ago conducted a rare country-wide poll by phone of 1,001 people to gauge Iranians' voting intentions.
According to Mr. Ballen it is not obvious from that poll that the results of the election were rigged. "At that time Mr. Ahmadinejad was ahead by two to one. Is it plausible that he won the election? Yes."
The survey showed that 34% of Iranians intended to vote for Mr. Ahmadinejad. Mr. Mousavi was the choice of just 14% of respondents.
But Mr. Ballen cautioned against concluding that the vote was fair.
The poll result fell far short of Mr. Ahmadinejad's margin of victory, and 27% of Iranians surveyed were still undecided at the time the survey was taken. "Anything could have changed," Mr. Ballen said.
Mr. Mousavi supporters point to the amazingly quick tallying of millions of hand-counted ballots and the Mr. Ahmadinejad's surprise win in Mr. Mousavi's home town, Tabriz, as proof positive of foul play.
Mr. Mousavi is from Iran's Azeri minority, so voters in his native region in East Azerbaijan province were expected to back him to the hilt, according to Ali Alfoneh, an Iran expert at the American Enterprise Institute.
Instead official results showed Mr. Ahmadinejad won the town and Mr. Mousavi's tally across the province was a modest 42%.
But Mr. Ballen's poll indicated only 16% of Azeri Iranians would vote for Mr. Mousavi, against 31% of Azeris who claimed they would vote for Mr. Ahmadinejad.
Walter Mebane, a University of Michigan professor, has been examining the election results using statistical and computational tools to detect fraud, a method he describes as "election forensics."
Comparing 366 district results with those from the 2005 elections, Mr. Mebane concluded that the "substantial core" of local results were in line with the basic statistical trends.
"In 2009 Mr. Ahmadinejad tended to do best in towns where his support in 2005 was highest, and he tended to do worst in towns were turnout surged the most."
But Mr. Mebane said data released by the Iranian authorities was not detailed enough to say whether the vote was rigged or not.
"The vote counts I see recorded here do connect to reality to some extent, but in no way do I think that any of this analysis rules out the possibility of manipulation," he told AFP.
Mr. Mebane pointed out that trends would still ring true if the government simply inflated Mr. Ahmadinejad's vote by a fixed percentage, perhaps offsetting it against deflated opposition tallies.
With half a million people on the streets, proof of such a falsification could spell the difference between a call for justice and a revolution, according to Mr. Alfoneh.
"If the system totally fails to provide documentation that this is not fraud, that is something that is going to radicalize the protesters," Mr. Alfoneh said.

House adopts amendments to address PFAS contamination
Posted: Jul 11, 2019 / 11:55 PM UTC / Updated: Jul 11, 2019 / 11:56 PM UTC
The U.S. House of Representatives adopted amendments introduced by Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05), Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in Michigan and across the country.
The amendments passed and will be included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2020, which is expected to be voted on by the House tomorrow.
"PFAS chemicals are harmful to human health and have affected communities across the country, including in my district. Families in Oscoda have had their water source contaminated and been exposed to these dangerous PFAS chemicals. I am proud the House is taking action to prioritize the health of families and better protect public health. As a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force, I will continue to work to aggressively clean up PFAS chemical contamination," said Congressman Kildee.
Kildee's PFAS amendments included in the NDAA would: Phase out the use of PFAS in firefighting foam by 2025, boost funding for the Centers for Disease Control's nationwide health study on PFAS, provide the U.S. Geological Survey with $5 million to conduct a nationwide sampling for PFAS in the environment, and require the Government Accountability Office review the Department of Defense's (DOD) response to PFAS contamination in and around military bases.
Congressman Kildee spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in support of his amendments. A video of his remarks can be found here.
For decades, toxic PFAS chemicals have been used in manufacturing, consumer products and firefighting foam and have been found to be dangerous to humans. These chemicals have been used around many military bases and industrial sites, including the former Wurtsmith Air Force base in Oscoda, where PFAS has leached into groundwater and local-area wells used for drinking water.
Congressman Kildee has worked with Republicans and Democrats at all levels of government to address PFAS contamination and is the founder and co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional PFAS Task Force.
Kildee has introduced legislation to speed up set a national drinking water standard for PFAS, clean-up efforts and detect PFAS contamination at other sites across the country. Additionally, working with Michigan U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, Congressman Kildee included language authorizing a health study on PFAS exposure in the National Defense Authorization Act, which became law in December 2017.

A Tree Service is not only a Complete Tree Care Company in Minnesota, we also responsively recycle any healthy wood we cut down for our customers. And when using wood to heat your home, cook your food or just for recreation, it is important to store your wood properly, so you end up with as good of wood as you started out with. Below is our guide to Storing Firewood for the Winter. As the days get colder and damper, it is important to deal with any wood you plan on burning this winter, otherwise it may not light.
Get it out of the Elements!
Before you start stacking and putting your source of warmth away, make your days to come easier by splitting it. Chances are, when you go to reach for a couple logs of wood, you will already be chilly and wanting to warm up. Do yourself a favor and split the amount of wood you need into the exact size you need for your application – before you get it stored for this season. You will be thanking yourself. No one wants to be throwing around an axe when they're stiff from the cold and all bundled up. Splitting the wood now will also allow it to dry out more quickly, so you can burn it sooner.
Wet wood is not able to burn. Or at least, it takes nothing short of a miracle. So, after you have split the amount of wood you have calculated for a season, it is time to dry. Drying can take place outside, if the weather will cooperate. Find a sunny, breezy place where the split wood can't get wet and let it dry. You can also store it in a garage, unfinished basement or another unused area, place a fan and dehumidifier by it and let the drying process begin. Depending on the species of wood and the freshness, it can take a year or two to fully dry and burn as desired. Think of it like a fine wine, it only gets better with time.
It is always wise to ensure wood is not on the ground because the side touching the ground surface will not be able to properly dry. That leads to rot. Not only is wood rot not easily burnable, it starts to stink. You can get creative on how you get the wood off the ground. Find a dry pallet, those are free, and place the drying wood on it. Anything will work, if it is up and able to dry.
Now that your wood is as dry as you like, you can start to stack it. It is best to put the larger, heavier pieces of wood at the bottom and the lighter pieces at the top, be sure to leaving some breathing room while stacking. This will prevent shifting and toppling of your pile. Another consideration is where to stack it. It is popular to have wood stacked under garage eaves, a covered porch, or on the side of a home. All are acceptable location if it is dry and accessible to you.
So, you have done all the steps and are probably ready for a break. Which you deserve! Please remember, all will have been in vein if you do not continue to keep the wood dry. This may mean tarping wood that is outside and susceptible to wetness if it rains. Or placing a dehumidifier in your garage so dampness doesn't soak into the wood. The good news is now, all you have left is to enjoy the cozy, efficient burning fire wood you have worked so diligently on.
If you want to skip the 3 hardest steps in this process, purchase Minneapolis firewood from A Tree Service. We split, dry and stack our wood for purchase so all you must do is find a place for it in your home and keep it dry.
We wish you warmth this winter and the joy that family brings! Call us today for firewood or get busy splitting.

Kids on spring break make amazing prehistoric discovery
By Natalie Dreier, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
A group of kids spent their spring break doing some unintentional hands-on learning of prehistoric life.
Shawn and Caid Sellers and their cousin Michael Mahalitc made an amazing discovery on their family's property in Bovina, Mississippi. They dug up a mastodon jawbone, the Vicksburg Post reported.
At first they thought it was only a log, then they noticed teeth on it when they turned it over.
"It was heavy. I tried to lift it. We all tried to lift it," Caid told the paper.
When they told Shawn's and Caid's parents they found a dinosaur bone, the boys' mother called in the experts.
"I called the (Mississippi) Museum of Natural Science and told them what the boys found. My husband took it over to the museum the next day and they confirmed it was a mastodon bone," Lynett Welch told the Post.
This isn't the first old relic they found on the property. They've found petrified wood at their home, but this is certainly a surprise.
A curator at the museum said the jaw belonged to a mature mastodon, based on the number of teeth, the Post reported.
The jaw isn't the first mastodon artifact discovered in the area recently, but it's not the norm.
It was the third mastodon-related item museum curator George Phillips had looked at over the past month, but the left jaw bone, "Is very extraordinary."
Caid isn't donating his find either. He's keeping and preserving it. His mother said she expects the budding paleontologist will find more.
Mastodons were alive between 11,700 and 2.6 million years ago and were found all over the world, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Thank you for getting the labels done so quickly, excellent customer service. You are always very nice, pleasant people to deal with.
We have received the labels and are very happy as we only had around 10 left.
That was very quick, and I am very impressed.
After numerous problems with online printers I decided to approach a local print company, in hindsight something I should have done from the outset. My first brief meeting with Andrew at Apex Labels left me extremely confident that I was in safe hands. The samples far surpassed all that I had received from other companies and he reassured me that no amateurish errors would be made.
After emailing my designs, a prompt proof for each came back. I was very impressed by the Apex proofing system, it simply did not allow for any errors, they have thoroughly thought about this process. One of the major problems I had previously faced was label orientation; because I use a labelling machine this dictates orientation of labels off the roll. Their proofing system accommodated this, and it reflected exactly why I was paying that little bit more than the online "discount, we promise you everything printers" that seldom deliver.
The turnaround was extremely quick and Andrew arranged for collection with me even though he had left for his holidays, how's that for service!
In short Andrew and the team at Apex delivered on their promise. I'm extremely happy with my labels, so much so that I decided to write my first testimonial. Would I recommend Apex? I have already and will continue to.
Thank you Apex, here's to a future working relationship with me at Wickham Soap Co.
With regard to the recent order we placed with you, I would like to state that we are very pleased with the efficient and prompt service we received from Apex Labels and the quick delivery of our order – we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
