Q: How to inject JavaScript function in partial (same partial can be loaded multiple times) loaded by ajax? I have a partial, which could be re-used many times in the same view.
It hosts a chartjs element.
The Partial loads, makes an ajax call to get its data.
The various keys of the Chart are populated from the returned data and executes and chart loads.
The partial's canvas and containing div are uniquely identified by a numeric counter of partials on the parent page  which iterates using Razor to build the divs and canvases for each chart.
All good.
e.g.
@{
    divId = "divDetail" + ViewBag.ChartIndex.ToString();
    canvasId = "canvas" + ViewBag.ChartIndex.ToString();
}
<div id="@divId">
    <canvas id="@canvasId" style="background-color:black;">
        @Html.Partial("ChartPartial", Model)
    </canvas>
</div>

But, the chart has an 'onClick' key, which I populate with ChartClick0, ChartClick1 etc. in the Data controller action called by ajax.
How do I dynamically create a script called ChartClick0 or ChartClick1 such that the correct function per Chart is called and executed?
I tried New Function and variations on ViewBag in the parent screen, but no luck.
With New Function, I can't concatenate the 'canvas' and the index to produce the new function.

Nigeria 2015 Elections Scenarios and Recommendations: Abia State
BY PEACE AND SECURITY WORKING GROUP
Disclaimer: The following analysis is based on discussions with State-level actors and so reflects their perceptions, not the view of the Peace and Security Working Group. These scenarios were produced prior to the 2014 primary elections and are thus subject to change. Where relevant, updates have been made to reflect evolving dynamics.
Abia At-a-Glance
Current Governor
Theodore OrjiCurrent Ruling Party
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)Key February 2015 Elections
State House of AssemblyPrognosis
Abia State is identified as a medium level risk (amber category) in CLEEN's report
CLEEN Map of Hot Spots for Election Violence
Peace Map (www.p4p-nigerdelta.org) Violence Heat Map Jan 2009-Dec 2014
Elections in 2011
In 2011, Theodore Orji (PDP) won the gubernatorial election with 82.33% of the vote, followed by Reagan Ufomba (APGA) with 6.35% and Chris Akomas (PPA) with 5.62%. ACN and LP each received less than 3% of the vote.
Ethnic Tension in 2011: There was some ethnic polarization between the indigenes of Abia Central and Abia North/South.
LGAS reportedly affected by violence: Bende, Isiala Ngwa N/S; Aba South
Type of Violence: harassment of opponents, access denied to opposition, intimidation, heavy deployment of security.
Women and Girls: Opposition women were harassed and women's freedom of movement restricted
Response: CSO's, police, and churches
Key Political Developments Since 2011
Abia State is currently controlled by the PDP. Opposition parties in the state like PPA, APC, APGA and Labor party have very little influence. Executive has influence over the judiciary, State House of Assembly, and religious institutions. The wife and son of the Governor are key political players, with influence on the state machinery.
The Governor's term is running out, so he positioning to run for senate in Abia Central and to select his successor.
A serving minster of the Federal Republic of Nigeria resigned and joined the Governorship race as a PDP candidate.
The PDP and the Governor zoned the Governorship slot to Abia south Senatorial Zone thereby disfranchising the Ngwa extraction from the Abia central Senatorial zone. There have continued to be ongoing tensions among the Ukwa Ngwa clan who believe that by handing over power to the Abia South Senatorial zone, the Ngwa people in the local councils of Abia Central would then be shut out of the PDP race completely.
The ruling party was perceived to have hijacked the PVC/CVR exercise conducted by INEC, precluding many from collecting their voter's cards.
A major political event was the sacking of non-indigene in the state civil service by the present Government. Many were later reinstated when the issue became controversial.
There has been no Local Government election since 2007; Local Governments have been run by a caretaker committee with members appointed by the Governor, leading to generalized frustration by residents lacking political representation at the LG level.
Major Political Players in Abia State

Emeka Ananaba Deputy Governor 2011 PDP –
Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe Senator 2011 PDP –

Uche Chukwumerije Senator 2011 PDP –
(1) Running for Abia Central senatorial seat in 2015, not running for governor in 2015
Other political players include:
Former Governor of the state Chief Orji Uzor Kalu
Senator Emma Nwaka (PDP State Chairman)
Senator Ike Nwachukwu (Former Senator)
Mr. Ugochukwu Sampson Ogah (MD Masters Energy)
Chief Chukwuemeka Nwogu (Former Minister of Labour)
Major General Ihejirika
Mr. Okezie Ikpeazu (Former Deputy General Manager, Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA))
Barr. F.N Nwosu
Chief Acho Nwakanma
Mr. Alex Otti
Conflict Drivers:
Zoning Arrangement
Candidate Endorsement and anointment
Lack of internal Democracy and transparency
Imposition of candidates and excessive use of Executive Powers
Areas at Risk of Possible Election Violence: Isiala Ngwa North LGA, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, Osisioma LGA, Abia South Senatorial Zone
Possible Types of Violence: Violent rallies, Hijacking of Electoral Materials, Kidnapping, Assassination, Use of the state security Machinery, Sexual Harassment and intimidation of women and Girls.
Scenario of possible election violence in Abia State:
If the Governor does not emerge as the candidate for the Abia central Senatorial Zone under PDP, he may go to another party to seek for party ticket and lose the political structure and control of the state.
Update (Dec 2014): Orji did attain the nomination as the candidate.
If Abia South Candidate does not emerge at the coming PDP Governorship Primaries, there could be an outbreak of violence from the Senatorial Zone.
Update( Dec 2014) Dr. Ikpeazu was declared the winner of the PDP Governership Primary
If the former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Ihejirika emerges as the Governor of the state by 2015 General Election, he will fortify the Security in the state and reduce the menace of kidnapping in the state.
If Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is denied the Governorship Ticket by the PDP, he is likely to decamp to another party and since he seems to have significant popular support, he might win the election and thereby scuttle the PDP Zoning Arrangement because he is from Abia North Senatorial Zone.
Update: As noted above, Dr. Ikpeazu won the primary, with Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah coming in second. As of the time of this writing, there have been no reports of him leaving the PDP.
If Orji Uzor Kalu is not admitted back to the Party before the party primaries for Abia North Senatorial Zone, he may run on the PPA ticket instead, amid increased threats of violence in the state.
Update: Orji Uzor Kalu was readmitted to the PDP in November 2014 although he came in last (with a reported one vote) in the party primaries for governor.
During Elections
Election thuggery and violence.
Use of the state apparatus and machinery against the opposition political parties by the incumbent.
Those PVC Cards that were not collected by voters during the exercise could be used by the Government to rig the election.
After Elections
If the zoning arrangement is such that the Ukwa-Ngwa clan does not win the Governorship, grievance might lead to increased incidents of kidnapping and other forms of violence by hoodlums.
These reports are a collaborative effort of The Fund for Peace and other members of the Nigeria Peace and Security Working Group (PSWG) in Nigeria. These reports reflect the result of a participatory process with national and local-level stakeholders on potential risk factors and scenarios for the February 2015 Nigeria general elections.

Liberty HealthShare Review in 2023
Healthcare is one of the most expensive budget items for many American families. Most people have access to health insurance through an employer, but others do not. What's worse, sometimes people cannot afford traditional health insurance.
That's where Liberty HealthShare comes in. This organization allows members to share medical expenses with a community of like-minded people. Its services help reduce the cost of healthcare for families in a nontraditional way.
Our Liberty HealthShare Review can help you determine if the provider is the right option for your healthcare needs.
Liberty HealthShare is a healthcare-sharing organization that allows families of Christian faith to receive financial support for medical bills without enrolling in traditional health insurance. The organization has a variety of plans to choose from at affordable rates.
Multiple plans to choose from
Low starting rates
Coverage for dental, vision and prescription drugs
Not limited to specific doctors or a specific network
Strict membership requirements
Sharing amounts are capped
No coverage of pre-existing conditions in the first year
What is Liberty HealthShare?
Liberty HealthShare is a healthcare-sharing community. This means it's a community of people who have come together to share healthcare costs.
It works similarly to health insurance, where the monthly contributions from members are pooled and used to cover each other's medical expenses.
As a Christian organization, Liberty HealthShare requires its members to meet specific requirements.
To join, you'll need to fulfill the following qualifications:
Observe Christian standards
Accept the organization's shared beliefs
Maintain a Christian lifestyle
Maintaining a Christian lifestyle includes things like not using tobacco products and following scriptural teachings on alcohol use.
How Does Liberty HealthShare Work?
When registering for Liberty HealthShare, you can select from five plans. Each plan has members pay a monthly share amount.
After choosing your plan, you can see any doctor of your choosing, identify yourself as a self-pay patient and submit your bills to have eligible expenses covered.
Here are the five available plans.
Liberty Assist
Liberty Assist is a healthcare-sharing program designed specifically for seniors 65 and older. This program is created for Medicare Part A and B enrollees. Its purpose is to fill in any coverage gaps while allowing members to control their medical care.
Current members of a different Liberty HealthShare program can transition to Liberty Assist when they turn 65.
New members can sign up upon termination of their employer-provided health insurance or during the three months before and after the month they turn 65.
Liberty Rise
Liberty Rise is a healthcare-sharing program designed for people ages 18 through 29. Since people within this age group often have lower incomes and fewer health costs, Liberty Rise is a budget-friendly program for young adults who don't have children.
For married couples, each spouse must have their own membership.
This plan covers expenses like primary physician care, specialists, hospital stays, urgent and emergency care, surgeon fees and CT or MRI scans.
Liberty Essential
The Liberty Essential plan is one of Liberty Healthshare's three primary plans available to families. Members can enroll in this plan as a single person, a couple or a family with children.
This plan is the most affordable of the three primary options. Members must meet an annual unshared amount (AUA). This is similar to a deductible in traditional health insurance.
Liberty Essential's AUA is $4,000 for a single person, $8,000 for couples or $12,000 for families.
The plan covers up to $600,000 per incident of fair and reasonable eligible medical expenses after the AUA, with an additional 25% co-share.
Liberty Connect
Liberty Connect is the second of the organization's three primary plans. Like the Essential plan, this option is available to single people, couples and families.
This plan has an AUA of $1,000 for single people, $2,000 for couples and $3,000 for families. After the AUA is met, the plan covers up to $1,000,000 per incident of fair and reasonable eligible medical expenses, with a 15% co-share.
Liberty Unite
Liberty Unite is the top-tier healthcare sharing plan from Liberty HealthShare. It is also available to single people, couples and families.
This plan has an AUA of $1,000 for single members, $1,750 for couples and $2,250 for families. Once the AUA has been met, the plan covers up to $1,000,000 per incident of fair and reasonably eligible medical expenses.
Better yet, this plan doesn't require a co-share.
How Much Does Liberty HealthShare Cost?
The cost of Liberty HealthShare is different for each plan option. Liberty Assist charges a different rate depending on your age.
Here are the monthly contribution requirements for the different age ranges:
65-69: $85 per month
75-79: $120 per month
91+: $273 per month
On the other hand, Liberty Rise has a flat rate that all enrollees pay. At the time of writing this, the plan charges a monthly contribution of $119.
Finally, Liberty Essential, Connect and Unite each charge different amounts depending on your age and whether you're enrolling as a single person, a couple or a family.
The tables below from Liberty HealthShare's site show the price for each of the different options.
In addition to its healthcare sharing plans, Liberty HealthShare offers some extra services to help its members save money.
Healthcare Bluebook
Healthcare Bluebook is available to Liberty HealthShare members that helps them find the best healthcare. Using the Bluebook, members can see the amount they should pay for a medical service based on an independent nationwide database.
The tool adds transparency to medical care. It also encourages members to consider the cost of services and shop around for a better rate. This price transparency benefits all of the members of the healthshare.
DialCare Mental Wellness
DialCare Mental Wellness is a telehealth program for mental health services. Liberty HealthShare members can access safe, secure and private mental health services virtually or via telephone.
DialCare Physician Access
DialCare Physician Access works similarly to its mental health counterpart but is for general medical care. Members can speak with doctors via phone or video chat to receive diagnoses, treatment and more.
Careington Dental
Careington Dental is a dental network that allows Liberty HealthShare members to get the dental coverage they need. Most health insurance plans don't cover dental care, but Careington helps people to find discounted services with transparent pricing.
EyeMed Vision
EyeMed Vision helps Liberty HealthShare members access affordable vision care by offering 20% to 40% savings on the retail price of eyewear. Members can get discounts on exams, eyeglasses and lenses from thousands of providers nationwide.
QualSight LASIK
QualSight Lasik allows Liberty HealthShare members to get 20% to 30% savings on the cost of LASIK surgery at one of more than 1,000 participating locations.
Elixir Prescription Drugs
Elixir Prescription Drugs helps Liberty HealthShare members access affordable prescription drugs.
Members can save between 50% and 95% on generic drugs and 10% and 45% on name-brand medications at more than 60,000 pharmacies nationwide.
While Liberty HealthShare's website contains many positive reviews, the provider has below-average reviews overall.
Here's how it stacks up on the rating sites:
Site Rating Number of Reviews
Better Business Bureau Low 184
Trustpilot Low 64
These are a few reviews members have left online:
"Believe all the negative reviews. After more than two years since we left the program we still have approved claims that remain unpaid. And that's two years plus past the approved date." – Brad
"My experience with re-enrolling was phenomenal. Incredibly patient people, willing to walk me through and re-explain as many times as needed. Every time I've called, there has always been a human being to answer the phone!" – Felecia
"They are great as long as you don't have any health bills. Nothing is covered, even what is pure authorized takes 1+ years to be paid— if ever. Do not even think about it!" – Ryder
"I think more people should look at these plans. Very reasonable cost, great customer service and benefits." – Margaret
Alternatives To Liberty HealthShare
Liberty HealthShare is one of the top health-share organizations on the market, but there are also plenty of other options. Here are the top alternatives to consider.
Altrua
Altrua HealthShare is an organization that connects thousands of families, churches and organizations in a health-sharing program. There are four plans to choose from, starting at $136 per month.
Altrua doesn't boast all of the extra member services that Liberty HealthShare does, and its starting price is higher. However, it does accommodate churches and organizations.
Medi-Share
Medi-Share is a Christian health-sharing organization that's been in operation for roughly three decades. Like Liberty HealthShare, Medi-Share has plans for individuals, families and seniors.
It also offers a plan for employers to provide to their employees and a plan for missionaries.
Learn More: Medi-Share Review: A Cheap Alternative to Health Insurance
Solidarity HealthShare is a health-sharing organization that helps to fund its members' healthcare costs while protecting and practicing its Catholic beliefs.
This organization provides coverage for various services, including general care, dental, vision, prescription drugs, fertility, mental health, hospice and more.
Liberty HealthShare can be an excellent replacement for traditional health insurance. It includes many of the services that would be covered by another plan, often at a significantly lower rate.
Of course, Liberty HealthShare is lacking some of what you'd find with traditional health insurance. It's also only available to like-minded individuals of the Christian faith.
Nevertheless, it could be a great option to cover your healthcare needs if you qualify.

TRUMPING POLITICS: President Biden and the War on America
In this week's edition of 'The Editor's Desk', host Michael J. Matt covers the following: - Latest from the New Normal: Abortion by Mail. - Dr. Fauci says, if we all get vaccinated, the pandemic might end in by 2022. - Dr. Fauci says it's a big mistake to open bars and restaurants. - Michael takes an old woman to church for the first time, after being isolated in solitary confinement for months. - If we're so worried about Grandma, why are we doing this to her? - Michael answers critics who say RTV has become "too political". - Do you think the war on life, Trump and America is mere "politics as usual"? Or is this all part of a global war on God Himself? - RTV goes on offense against big tech censorship. Remnant-TV.com is here at last. - Great news! The clans to unite in Pittsburgh in three weeks for a massive rendezvous. All this and so much more!
Condemning Riot at U.S. Capitol In this special report on the impeachment, Michael J. Matt takes a hard look at the disastrous attack on the U.S. Capitol building—an event which could have been financed by George Soros, so useful was it in the service of his globalist agenda. In any case, January 6, 2021 will surely live on in infamy if patriotic Americans do not denounce what happened without hesitation. And now they're going to impeach Donald Trump again. Why? Well, Patrick Buchanan argues that it's because "A conviction would strip Republicans of the right to reelect the man who got the largest number of votes in their party's history."By the way, Donald Trump released yet another video statement on January 13 which was blacked out by most media. Why? Because in that statement, Trump again condemns the breach of the Capitol, calls for the prosecution of those responsible and explains in no uncertain terms how it was diametrically opposed to everything the law-&-order President Trump stands for. Who supports the Capitol riot? Trump condemned it three times now and patriots all across America have denounced it as the new Reichstag fire--as Nero's burning of Rome and then blaming the Christians—as a massive blunder being used by the Left to try to crush Trump and his populist movement once and for all. This is no longer about the 2020 election. The impeachment is about making sure there will never be another MAGA rally in this country again. Plus, Michael consults Thomas More to show why and how we must not consider ourselves above the law and that, no matter what happens to the children of light, they can never behave like the children of darkness. #ToHellWithCOVID Sign up for our FREE E-LETTER, and let us contact you whenever a new video is posted. https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/subscribe-today/free-remnant-updates Subscribe to The Remnant Newspaper: https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/subscribe-today

A new strain of COVID leads PM Boris Johnson to cancel Christmas in the UK. In this episode of The Editor's Desk, Michael J. Matt discusses the latest scare tactics coming from the World Economic Forum's Klaus Schwab who, after using the Covid pandemic to get us all to move our lives online, is now warning that cyberattacks are about to pull the plug on our New Normal.
As if that weren't scary enough, Bill Gates and Tony Fauci are warning the world that vaccines won't end the pandemic and that we need to wear our masks and cancel holiday celebrations until 2022.
Meanwhile, after telling us all to do the home alone thing on Thanksgiving, Dr. Deb 'Scarf Lady' Birx was caught traveling across country to whoop it up with extended family over the same holiday.
Finally, a word on the Vatican's 2020 Christmas display, which Michael argues provides further justification for The Remnant's "2020 Man of the Year" selection. Any guesses who that might be?

JUDGING AMY BARRETT: More Rebellion Against God
Sunday Sermon from South St. Paul
In this Sunday Sermon from South St. Paul, Father takes on the question of man's rebellion against God -- from the crucifixion of Christ, to Modernism's betrayal of the Mystical Body of Christ and now to our own time with the demonic crucifixion of President Trump's pro-life, pro-family and pro-Catholic Supreme Court Justice nominee. What can we learn from the fact that "Catholics" Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are given a pass by the media while Judge Barrett must face a Leftist lynch mob because of her faith? Brace yourself, Christians! It's Judge Barrett today, but it'll be us tomorrow. We need to stand strong now or face total persecution in the very near future.

Glossary¶

agent

A monitoring daemon that resides on the server being monitored. The agent
gathers metrics based on agent checks and pushes them to Cloud Monitoring.
The agent provides insight into your servers with checks for information
such as load average and network usage. The agent acts as a single small
service that runs scheduled checks and pushes metrics to the rest of Cloud
Monitoring so the metrics can be analyzed, trigger alerts, and be archived.
These metrics are gathered via checks using agent check types, and can be
used with the other Cloud Monitoring primitives such as alarms.

agent token

An authentication token used to identify the agent when it communicates
with Cloud Monitoring.

alarm

An alarm contains a set of rules that determine when the monitoring system
sends a notification. You can create multiple alarms for the different
checks types associated with an entity. For example, if your entity is a
web server that hosts your company’s website, you can create one alarm to
monitor the server itself, and another alarm to monitor the website.

check

Checks explicitly specify how you want to monitor an entity. Once you’ve
created an entity, you can configure one or more checks for it. A check is
the foundational building block of the monitoring system, and is always
associated with an entity. The check specifies the parts or pieces of the
entity that you want to monitor, the monitoring frequency, how many
monitoring zones are launching the check, and so on. It contains the
specific details of how you are monitoring the entity.

entity

The object or resource that you want to monitor. It can be any object or
device that you want to monitor. It’s commonly a web server, but it might
also be a website, a web page or a web service.

monitoring zone

A monitoring zone is the “launch point” of a check. When you create a
check, you specify which monitoring zone(s) you want to launch the check
from. This concept of a monitoring zone is similar to that of a datacenter,
however in the monitoring system, you can think of it more as a geographical
region.

notification

A notification is an informational message  sent to one or more addresses
by the monitoring system when an alarm is triggered. You can set up
notifications to alert a single individual or an entire team. Rackspace
Cloud Monitoring currently supports webhooks and email for sending
notifications.

notification plan

A notification plan contains a set of notification rules to execute when an
alarm is triggered. A notification plan can contain multiple notifications
for each of the following states:

Andrij Jurijowytsch Kurkow (; ; * 23. April 1961 in Budogoschtsch, Oblast Leningrad) ist ein ukrainischer Schriftsteller. Er schreibt auf Russisch. Im deutschen Sprachraum erscheinen seine Bücher unter der Schreibweise Andrej Kurkow.

Leben
Kurkow, geboren in der russischen Unionsrepublik der UdSSR, lebt seit frühester Kindheit in Kiew und machte 1983 am dortigen Staatlichen Pädagogischen Fremdspracheninstitut einen Abschluss. Er zählt zur russischsprachigen Bevölkerung des Landes und bezeichnete sich im März 2014, während "Russland einen Bürgerkrieg in der Ukraine zu provozieren versucht", selber als Russen. Kurkow spricht elf – nach eigenen, jüngeren Angaben heute nur noch sieben – Fremdsprachen und arbeitete in unterschiedlichen Berufen, darunter Redakteur, Gefängniswärter und Kameramann. Seit 1988 ist er Mitglied des Londoner PEN-Clubs, seit 1996 lebt er zeitweise in London. Fast 20 Dokumentar- und Spielfilmdrehbücher stammen aus seiner Feder; seine Romane wurden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt, darunter Deutsch, Französisch, Niederländisch, Spanisch und Türkisch.

Seine Romane zeichnen sich durch einen scharfen, ironischen Blick auf das Leben in der postsowjetischen Gesellschaft aus. Trotz abstruser, ins Extreme oder Surreale verfremdeter Situationen aus dem ukrainischen oder russischen Alltag verliert Kurkow nie den ernsthaft-liebevollen Blick auf seine Figuren.

Im Zusammenhang mit dem Euromaidan veröffentlichte Andrij Kurkow erstmals Auszüge aus seinen Tagebüchern, die er seit dreißig Jahren führt. Er bezog darin klar Stellung gegen Wiktor Janukowytsch, äußerte aber auch Kritik an Julija Tymoschenko und Wiktor Juschtschenko. Er verwahrte sich gegen die Besetzung der Ukraine durch Putins Armee, damit er sich "gegen die Korruption aussprechen kann, weil ich will, dass das Land, in dem ich lebe, ein Rechtsstaat ist". In Deutschland gilt Kurkow als "Ukraine-Erklärer", der das Verhältnis zu Europa und Russland unter Wladimir Putin ausleuchtet. So sei die Krise in der Ukraine eigentlich eine russische Krise: Putin fürchte den Wunsch nach Freiheit, der auch nach Russland überschwappen könnte.

Im Dezember 2016 gehörte Kurkow zu den Unterzeichnern des Aufrufs des Internationalen Literaturfestivals Berlin "Schluss mit dem Massenmord in Aleppo!", der sich gegen den "Bombenkrieg des russischen Präsidenten Putin in der syrischen Stadt Aleppo" wendet. Seit 2018 ist er Präsident des PEN Ukraine.

Nach dem Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine 2022 äußerte sich Kurkow im US-amerikanischen Wochenmagazin The New Yorker zum Dilemma des mehr-, insbesondere auch russischsprachigen Landes. Die Tageszeitung zitierte ihn im April 2022 so: "Werden ukrainische Kinder, gefragt, welche Fremdsprache sie in der Schule erlernen möchten, antworten: Nicht Russisch, denn die Russen haben meinen Vater ermordet, die Russen haben meine kleine Schwester umgebracht?" Kurkow vermute, dass es so kommen werde – Putin zerstöre "nicht nur die Ukraine, sondern auch Russland und die russische Sprache." Ähnlich motiviert habe der 1961 geborene Autor selbst "einst das Deutsche als Fremdsprache verweigert, weil die Nazis seinen Großvater ermordet hatten."

In seinem 2022 erschienenen Buch Tagebuch einer Invasion (Diary of an Invasion) berichtete er über den russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine. Das Buch sei "zugleich als eindringliche Chronik wie auch als kritische Reflexion einer politischen und zivilisatorischen Katastrophe zu lesen", urteilte die Jury des Geschwister-Scholl-Preises, der dem Buch im Jahr 2022 zuerkannt wurde.

Inevitably, both men and women lose hair as they get older. The question is how much. Fortunately for women, male pattern baldness is much more common than that for women. However, women lose hair too. The most common type of female hair loss seen in our practice is thinning of the anterior hairline or the hairline above the forehead. We recommend medical hair loss therapy first prior to any surgery. In some women, the hairline recedes in addition to thinning. For these women, hairline lowering surgery may be beneficial.
Causes include genetics, pulling the hair back too tightly, hair loss, and previous surgery, among others. The hair loss should be stable for a period of time, at least 6-12 months, before considering hairline lowering. If there is still active hair loss, then this is a relative contraindication for this surgery. Thinning of the hair at the hairline is another relative contraindication as the scar may be visible until it is fully healed though transplanting hair after the surgery is an good option and thinning along the hairline should not be a deterrent. Darker skin individuals take longer to heal and have a higher risk for thick scars in general though this is not an absolute contraindication and scars can be proactive treated before and after the surgery to create a natural result. Men are also candidates for hairline lowering surgery but they must have a longer history of stable hair loss and a family history that does not demonstrate male pattern baldness, along with a thick anterior hairline.
The hairline can usually be brought forward approximately one inch in a single stage in most cases depending on scalp mobility and the location of the current hairline. Of course, the hairline cannot be brought back to its location in youth because this may not look natural or age appropriate for the individual at their current point in life. In some cases, an advancement of more than one inch is possible in a single stage.
In individuals who desire more than 1.5 inches of advancement, a tissue expander may be necessary. A tissue expander is placed under the scalp and gradually and slowly expanded over 4-6 weeks to 'stretch' the scalp allowing more scalp to be advanced. Once this 'extra' skin is created through expansion, the expander is removed and simultaneously the hairline is advanced and secured.
Hairline lowering surgery is one of the most gratifying surgeries Dr. Majmundar performs as it is truly a life-changing procedure. For more information about Dr. Majmundar, visit our website at www.northsideplasticsurgery.com.

Apple's Intel PCs to run Windows
By Rex Crum
Published: Apr 5, 2006 4:54 p.m. ET
Boot Camp release to work with newest Macs
RexCrum
Technology reporter
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apple Computer Inc. shares climbed almost 10% Wednesday after the company unveiled software that will let its newest Macintosh computers run Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system, a watershed decision that may help boost its share of the PC market.
Apple AAPL, +0.43% surged $6.04 to close at $67.21 on optimism that the move will broaden the Mac's appeal, not only among consumers but also among business users.
The new software product, called Boot Camp, allows users of Macintosh machines that run on Intel Corp.-made chips to choose between Apple's own operating system and Windows XP to run their PCs.
It's the first time in more than a decade that Apple has released a product that lets its computers run Windows, the most widely used PC operating system by far. Making its new Intel-based Macs compatible with Microsoft's MSFT, +0.02% software could help Apple expand its single-digit share of the PC market.
"This is another step in Apple's efforts to expand its total addressable market to include a more mainstream audience," Goldman Sachs analyst Rick Sherlund wrote in a note to clients. Sherlund rates Apple shares attractive.
Apple's PC sales are growing faster than the overall market, thanks in part to the firm's wildly popular iPod music players, which are drawing multitudes into Apple retail stores.
For the quarter ended in December, Mac sales climbed 20% from the prior year to 1.25 million units. According to research firm IDC, the worldwide PC market grew 16.4% in 2005, while shipments in the U.S. market rose by 10%.
"The ability to boot Windows XP removes one of the key obstacles to Apple taking a significantly larger share of the PC market," said Steve Lidberg of Pacific Crest Securities. "Many third-party applications run only on Windows, (and) these programs should now work on a Mac."
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple said that a trial version of the software would be available as a free download from the company's Web site beginning Wednesday. A full version of the program also will be incorporated into the next upgrade of Apple's Mac OS X operating system, called Leopard, expected in the second half of the year, according to the company.
Attracting 'switchers'
The potential for Apple to boost market share through what the company calls "switchers" -- people who move from a Windows-based PC to a Mac -- has some analysts viewing Apple's move as one of its most important business steps since the launch of the first iPod in 2001.
'We believe this is a big deal and potentially could be a significant game-changer.'
Shaw Wu, American Technology Research
"A key reason why Apple hasn't gotten more 'switchers' is likely due to a lack of strong Windows compatibility," said Shaw Wu, of American Technology Research. "We believe this is a big deal and potentially could be a significant game-changer."
The software will only work in Apple PCs that run on chips made by Intel Corp. INTC, -0.28% Apple began shipping its first Intel-based Macs in January and has said previously that all of its computers will run on Intel chips by the end of this year.
An Apple executive said the switch to Intel chips provided some of the impetus for Boot Camp.
U.S. PC-market share: full year 2005
Company Market share
Dell 33.5%
H-P 19.4%
Gateway 6.1%
Apple 4%
Toshiba 3.5%
Lenovo 3.2%
Others 30.2%
"We felt there were some people who wanted to switch to a Mac, but they needed some critical application that wasn't available on the Mac," said Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing. "Then there are others who feel they need the safety net of Windows."
Many industry observers -- not to mention legions of loyal Mac users -- consider the latest version of Apple's operating system easier to use and more robust than Windows XP.
Perhaps with that in mind, Schiller emphasized that Apple won't be selling or supporting the Windows operating system.
Not Virtual PC
Boot Camp is different from Virtual PC, a program owned by Microsoft that allows Mac users to run Windows simultaneously with the Mac OS, Schiller added.
That configuration forces the two operating systems to compete for access to software applications and printing software, slowing down Macintosh performance, according to Schiller.
Schiller didn't say if there would be future updates to Boot Camp or whether the software would allow Mac computers to run Vista, Microsoft's next upgrade of the Windows operating system that's set for release to business users in November and to consumers in January 2007.
While Boot Camp may be Apple's strongest push yet to win over Windows customers, it isn't the first time the company has officially put out a product to allow the software to run its PCs.
Apple's Schiller said that more than a dozen years ago, the Mac maker released a PC-compatibility card that a person could plug into a Macintosh and run Microsoft DOS and early versions of Windows. That product was phased out after weak market acceptance.

City staff randomly patrol neighborhoods and perform "spot checks" of residential recycle carts.
Recycle crats are tagged with either a Gold Star or an Oops Tag.
Ten (10) recycle carts are tagged with a Gold Star monthly—if you receive one, you are recycling right!
Addresses receiving the Gold Stars are entered into a monthly drawing for $100.
All addresses receiving a Gold Star on their blue cart are entered into an annual drawing for $500.
Monthly prizes awarded within 5 business days of receiving Gold Star. Grand prize drawing held in January 2019.
Congratulations Gold Star Recycing Winners!
Available exclusively for City of Stuart residents and businesses.
What is E-Waste? E-Waste, short for electronic waste, is simply a term for electronic products nearing or at the end of their "useful life."
Location: City of Stuart Municipal Solid Waste Complex is located on the corner of 407 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Georgia Avenue. The E-Water Recycling Center is outside the fence on Georgia Avenue (behind Stuart Middle School).
Hours: Open 24 hours; if you are a City resident or business, simply drop off electronics at your convenience.
Why is it important to recycle electronics? Proper disposal is important because E-Waste can be hazardous. Electronic devices form a complex mixture of material and components, often containing hundreds of different substances, many of which are toxic and create serious pollution upon disposal. When electronics are discarded improperly, these hazardous toxins can seep into the groundwater, be mobilized into our rivers, our wildlife and to us.
Single stream recycling is the commingling or combining of recyclables in one recycling container. This means no sorting of recycling materials and no heavy lifting, making it easier to recycle.
City of Stuart residential customers are provided a 65-gallon blue recycle cart.
Businesses are responsible for generating the largest volumes of recyclables. Paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminum are good examples of commonly used recyclables in businesses. Recycling makes good sense for economic and environmental reasons. It helps to preserve the life of the landfill. It also helps save natural resources, lowers energy consumption and reduces greenhouse gases as well as air and water pollution. Recycling is a better choice that the dead-end alternative to land filling materials.
Recycling can SAVE your business money . . .
Customers who sign up for service will receive a $1 reduction per cubic yard on their commercial garbage fees.
95-gallon blue recycling carts used for comingled materials. These carts can be used for small and large businesses.
Assorted sizes of commercial dumpsters used for large generators of cardboard.
The City will provide a free Recycling Assessment to individual businesses to identify all materials that can be recycled and are accepted in the City's recycling program.
It's easy! Call the Recycling and Conservation Coordinator at (772) 600-1206 to set up an optional appointment for your business's Recycling Assessment and request service.
Recycling service will be added to your account and depending on your business's needs, a cart, cardboard dumpster, or both will be delivered.
Your business is ready to recycle!


Apple's Preview program in OS X is great for capturing signatures, but by default these can only be used with Preview; however, there is a workaround to extract and them for use elsewhere.
The Preview application in OS X has an excellent option for capturing handwritten signatures and inserting them into PDF documents. This is great for signing forms, letters, and other items that require a signature. The process for doing so simply involves capturing a written signature with a Web cam, after which you can append them to any PDF document open in Preview.
Signatures that you associate with Preview in this manner are stored in an encrypted form, which is great for security but also means that Preview is the only program that can access them. Even though an inserted signature is resizable and can be moved around in the given PDF document, you cannot copy it or a selection that contains it from Preview to another program.
One solution to this is to simply scan your signature in and save it as an image, but this requires you have a scanner handy. However, there is a workaround you can use that will allow you to capture any signature from Preview and save it as an image file with proper transparencies that you can use in other applications.
Open a text editor such as TextEdit, Pages, or Word, and create a new blank document.
Press Command-P to print the blank document and choose "Open PDF in Preview" from the small PDF menu in the lower left.
Enable Preview's Edit toolbar (press Shift-Command-A), and use the Signature tool to add a signature to the document.
Expand the signature size to be relatively large (the larger the better, which can also be done by zooming in on your document and expanding its window size).
Press Shift-Control-Command-4 to enter selection-screenshot mode (your mouse cursor will turn into a crosshair), and drag a selection around your signature (when you release the mouse you should hear a camera click).
Ensure Preview is the foremost application and press Command-N to create a new image file from the screenshot.
Enable Preview's Edit toolbar again, and select the Instant Alpha tool (it looks like a little wand).
Click the white area around the signature and drag your cursor away from where you click. When you do this the white area will turn pink, but keep dragging until you do not see any more white around the characters of your signature. If the characters themselves show a pink hue then you have dragged too far so back off a little until they turn black again, followed by releasing the mouse button.
Press the delete key, and your signature should now be on a transparent background indicated by a checkerboard pattern.
Save the image in a format that supports an alpha channel (PNG, JPEG-2000, or TIFF), and ensure this channel is enabled in the Save dialogue box so the transparency is preserved.
There you have it. You should then be able to import the signature into any program that supports the formats you saved it in. Do keep in mind that, unlike Preview's signature management, this is not an encrypted storage of your signature; however, you can save it in an encrypted disk image, or keep FileVault enabled on your Mac so all files including the signature are encrypted when your system is shut down.


Hi, I'm Benny Fergusson! I'm here to show you through my own experiments exactly how you can stop pain and tension holding you back, and start building a body that feels free to move how you choose.
At Movement Monk we believe … the world can be better for everyone, when we find peace within our body & mind.
Through explorative movement practice you can connect with the wisdom deep inside of your body. As your body awareness grows; physical-mental-emotional blockages naturally release, which allows you to move with greater freedom & confidence. Put simply, you'll feel more at ease within yourself, which ripples out into the world around you.
We make online training courses, and deliver unique mind-body experiences for people who are looking to have a deeper experience of living – transcending mundane existence.
With the tools and support to explore the endless pursuit of mastery of your body & mind, you can keep growing beyond where mainstream fitness approaches can take you.
Mainstream fitness is broken, but your body doesn't have to be.
The fitness industry is flooded with quick fixes, fads and false promises of how to build the 'perfect' body. This limits your potential by focusing mainly on how you appear in the mirror.
We believe there's more to life than the way your body looks – it's about the way you feel when you move. When your body feels at ease you're more likely to move it, and as a natural byproduct the goodness within shines through.
Fancy movements can be great fun, but can lead to injury without solid foundations. Movement Monk focuses on the most important foundations to physical well-being – like how you breathe, and how your skeleton aligns. From this base, movement that supports longevity can be built.
Strong muscles don't always lead to strong organs. Movement Monk practices prioritise improving key aspects to promote health – like getting better circulation and relaxing your mind. We find that looking good is a natural result of this.
All the books and degrees in the world can't match real world experience. Movement Monk programs are built on rigorously tested and proven principles that have worked for people around the world. We walk the path before you, so we can support you better when you do.

Q: Line numbering in WPS presentation I am copying code with syntax highlighting from WPS Writter to WPS Presentation. However, when I apply line numbering in the latter, I only get the first line numbered.

Line numbering works correctly in Writter. But if I copy and paste it into presenter, I cannot update the line numbers. If I paste the code has plain text in Presenter the line numbering works correctly [but I obviously loose the highlighting] .
Is there anyway to correct this?

I'd like to write and thank Evolution for our fantastic bathroom and the excellent experience we had with them. They were able to come and do the work very quickly and had it finished by the time we needed. The builders were top quality and we are really pleased with our bathroom which exceeded our expectations. They were delightful to have in the house and cleared up perfectly every day. We would certainly have them back for any future work.
I am most grateful to the EVOLUTION team for attending to my roof so promptly and efficiently. The men who did the work were courteous and helpful – as well as knowing what they were doing of course.
I liked the way I was kept informed about the process from start to finish; somebody made sure I was always aware when things were going to be done. I felt I had a clear and easy line of communication.
The scaffolding was removed this morning, quickly and quietly, again with courtesy and good humour.
"I would just like to say a huge thank you to 'Evolution' for the excellent work you undertook in rectifying the very significant structural problems in my 20 month old house. After purchasing a new home in Cornwall and confirming that such faults existed, I was at the end of my tether in resolving these issues. I am fully aware that as a Chartered Building company, taking on private matters (albeit significant ones) is somewhat unusual because of the normal commercial arena you work in. However, I was extremely pleased when you agreed to carry out my house work as your level of professionalism and competence from both corporately and on the ground with your staff was outstanding. I cannot thank you enough, mainly because you have now made my house into the home it should be".
We have been working with Evolution for 18 months and they have carried out a variety of works from daily maintenance to extensive project work. My team and I have always found them to be prompt and efficient. Darren and his team always deliver quality work and quality service.
Evolution did a great job, quick and clean and a very professional result.
Partial roof, soffit and gutter replacement required, and carried out swiftly at a reasonable price. No mess, owners exceptionally pleased at the speed of the finished work and cost.
Evolution has also been used for emergency callouts and have responded quickly to all owners satisfaction at a reasonable cost.
In my opinion Evolution gave a prompt, efficient and reliable service and would recommend them capable of carrying out any small works to a satisfactory conclusion.
The following works were required to be done outside normal hours to enable the Preschool to continue to operate.
Installation of bottled gas central heating, refitting kitchen, refurbishing toilets and upgrading electrics were carried out over evenings and weekends as the Preschool operates 52 weeks of year 5 days a week. The Preschool staff and management were delighted at the flexibility and care with which the work was carried out.
Emergency callouts have also been necessary due to situations beyond our control and Evolution have respond extremely quickly, which on one occasions avoided a major disaster.
Evolution are our primary company for major and minor works.
As a Charity we ensure that we obtain works at a reasonable cost and highly recommend Evolution's services.
My background was oil broking not building and as the main contractor I needed good sub-contractors around me to build the first sustainable code six high-end luxury holiday destination in the United Kingdom.
Evolution came in late to our project when we were experiencing problems with sourcing good local tradesmen. This was a challenge for an experienced builder let alone a complete novice like myself!
Evolution quoted competitively for the insulation, dry-lining, sealing and airtightness, internal skimming and laying of the polished oak flooring. This was a tough job for a code six project.
Evolution helped us meet our very difficult targets especially with the airtightness and the insulation. They came on site and delivered exactly what they said they would. As a company they embraced our commitment to Considerate Contractors and helped us achieve a National Bronze Award with this scheme scoring in the top 5 pct in the country.
In short Evolution became part of our team even to the point when they thought we were perhaps steering off course told us probably a few things we did not want to hear, but they were there with solutions to the problems and to help put it right.
One big plus for me as the main contractor even after we had finished, shaken hands and paid in full without hesitation they came back to put some minor issues right. The strength of your relationship is not always measured when it's going well, but measured when problems arise and how those problems are dealt with. Evolution always offered constructive advice and solutions and were pro-active in delivering a professional job.
I would not hesitate to recommend Evolution and if you're considering engaging with them please do not hesitate to contact me and I will happily show you their first class work at The Emerald. We are very proud of our contemporary zero carbon luxury houses and very pleased Evolution were with us for that journey.
Our shared high level chimney required re-rendering. On removing blown render it was discovered that the brickwork and flues were disintegrating. This meant that we required major additional work to be carried.
A Party Wall Agreement was required and through Evolution this was obtained together with a structural engineer. Evolution were able to complete the works which required sensitivity, diplomacy, man-management with severe scrutiny from the adjoining property owners. This was fully completed at a reasonable cost and we highly recommend Evolution's workmanship.
Many many thanks for the work done on The Reading Room we are delighted with the end product! The boys were very good and very clean and tidy. A pleasure to do business with you all.

Arizona judge rejects Republican Kari Lake's challenge to gubernatorial election
An Arizona judge has ruled against Republican Kari Lake's challenge to the result in the November gubernatorial race where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner by roughly half a percentage point.
In a decision Saturday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, who was appointed by then-Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, found that the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of the widespread misconduct that Lake had alleged had affected the result of the 2022 general election.
The judge rejected Lake's claim that problems with ballot printers at some polling places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct.
The judge said Lake's witnesses didn't have any personal knowledge of intentional misconduct.
KARI LAKE'S OPENING SALVO IN ELECTION FRAUD CASE APPEARS TO FALL SHORT

After months of talk about reproductive rights, threats to democracy, climate change, immigration and crime, the US midterm elections are coming down to the way Americans feel about the overall state of the economy and, in particular, inflation.

"The Court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence," Thompson said.
In the ruling, the judge acknowledged the "anger and frustration" of voters who were inconvenienced in the election and noted that setting aside the results of an election "has never been done in the history of the United States."

Lawyers for Lake focused on problems with ballot printers at several polling places in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona's voters. The defective printers produced ballots that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators at polling places. Lines backed up in some areas amid the confusion.
Lake's attorneys also claimed the chain of custody for ballots was broken at an off-site facility, where a contractor scans mail ballots to prepare them for processing. They claim workers at the facility put their own mail ballots into the pile, rather than sending their ballots through normal channels, and also that paperwork documenting the transfer of ballots was missing. The county disputes the claim.

In a tweet following the ruling, Lake said she will file an appeal.
"My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law," lake tweeted. "This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal to his ruling."

Educating Women: Schooling and Identity in England and France, 1800-1867 (Book Review)
Christopher Bischof, University of RichmondFollow
Christina de Bellaigue's Educating Women: Schooling and Identity in England and France, 1800-1867 explores stereotypes about women's boarding schools on both sides of the English-French Channel. In the process de Bellaigue identifies the basis in reality which many of the most widespread stereotypes had, including: the socially grasping schoolmistress; the schoolmistress as a gentlewoman fallen on hard times; the short-lived nature of many schools; the stress laid on the teaching of "accomplishments"; and the idea that preparing women for their domestic role was the ultimate goal of an education. However, she also simultaneously undermines these stereotypes by supplying nuance and context through a careful study of life writings, prescriptive literature, fiction, letters, and bureaucratic records. Finally, she demonstrates the significant overlap but also critical differences in women's and girls' daily lives in boarding schools on both sides of the channel.

First you need to render to frames when you make your movie. Choose a format such as TIFF that will create an Alpha channel in each frame. You will need to import all the frames and let Premiere combine them together. There should be an option to tell Premiere how much time each frame should last (normally 1/30 of a second).
@heron As @richard60 advised, render the animation as image files (not an AVI, etc), with the file type having alpha (PNG or TIFF). Compose them in Premiere.
That will render the doll as a raster object on a transparent background, assuming you chose PNG or TIFF.

Can They Stand It?
After the failing of the carpet-baggers from the North in the recent elections, white southerners have issued out a warning of sorts - do not try and come down to the south and take a single thing that belongs to them.
The horde of carpet-baggers which swept down upon the South like an army of wolves of the black forest have held on to their schemes for seizing the offices and filling'their pockets with the public moneys with a pertinacity and impudence that is amazing. But gradually the white people of the'South have regained control over their own public affairs, and gradually have the beast'of prey been driven back to their black forests. The history of their depredations, their ravenous inroads upon the public revenues can never he justly and fairly explained. The extent, as well as the enormity of their crimes can never be appreciated. No one will ever encounter the heavy task of hunting them up and following the carpet-bagger through his torturous and dark paths.'The South has been terribly victimized by these people, who have been seconded and strongly maintained in the rascality by the Government itself. Beginning with military rule and the villainous agency of the Freedmens's Bureau - the latter furnishing the rascals, and the former installing them in office - the south was laid completely at the mercy of these unscrupulous and greedy men. The Congress having disfranchised the Southern whites, and the negroes being incapable of discharging the duties of public offices, the military commands had hardly any recourse left them but to fill those offices with emissaries of the Freedmen's Bureau. General Canby made them sheriffs here in Virginia, and gave them the handling of the public money - the taxes paid in by an impoverished and oppressed people. There were but few of them who could give the security required by the laws of Virginia. But the courts had to submit. In the case of Leahy, in Pittsylvania; General Canby ordered the court to take his security, though it had twice refused to do so. Leahy will only be a sample. We shall see how many of them make good their deficits. 'Getting position through the power wielded over us while in a territorial condition, they were enabled to muster in strong force, permeating the whole Commonwealth, and, with the cooperation of the Freedmen's bureau, the minds of the negroes were poisoned against us with a view to permanent possession of the offices by these adventurers after the military government was withdrawn. In this they have been wofully disappointed. They have lost all chances to handle the public funds save in districts where the negroes hold the balance of power, and even in those districts a strong feeling in behalf of native citizens, together with a prejudice against carpet-baggers for their evident purpose to keep negores out of office, has caused a great change to the disadvantage of the carpet-baggers. They are defeated almost everywhere.'Now, as these people had no other motive in coming here but that off playing the "dodge" of "ruining" the Souther States and stealing all the money they could, they had no callings, no visible means of support. Disappointed in not getting the official plunder they came for, or rather in not enjoying that plunder after the military left, they have no way of living. Their commissary department was but limited, and when that is exhausted there is an end of them. See how many have left this city - and there are many others who must follow.'The scenes of the last two years have been remarkable. The impudence of our people in taking possession of their own Government has greatly straightened the circumstances of the amiable and honest carper-baggers. They have been like wrecked people at sea fighting for the floating planks. They struggled to keep their hold upon our city government, and they essayed to undermine each other. The Journal south to oust Humphreys, and then Porter, and others planned to blow up all the "ins," and later, Miss Van Lew was set upon. The situation got very warm as "J.N." says, the "pressure was heavy."'Bond, and Wardwell, and Painter, and Samuel, and Gregory, and others, have gone. Hunnicutt preceded them all, as he was the most honest of them all, and least designing. He was sent off like a long-bearded goat, bearing as much of their sins as they could pack upon him. But Hunnicutt, if he cherishes malice toward his early colleagues who turned upon him after fleecing him of all he made by the public printing, will have his heart's content with their exposure and flight. They much all go covered with ignominy and disgrace by the gross swindling, and embezzling and corruption, and fraud, that have been proved upon them, from stealing $7,000 worth of real estate to selling cadetships and pocketing public money in a hundred ways. They will ultimately all leave the lauds they have oppressed, vexed, injured, and insulted by their deeds. Their only hope of escape from the contempt of man everywhere is in their obscurity. 'Richmond has now peace from these people for eighteen months. In that time the commissary department will likely give out, and, for want of means to subsist upon, they will depart. There is certainly room enough in the world for them and for us. While we cannot envy any people with whom they nay cast their lots, we may truly felicitate ourselves upon their departure; for the country will grow back brighter as they withdraw.'We hope - indeed we believe - that no sincere and good-intentioned gentleman coming from any quarter of this earth to live amongst us, will make the error of taking even the shade of a shadow of these strictures to himself. We all know, and none better than th genuine carpet bagger, who we mean, Some of our best citizens have come to dwell amongst us from distant sections of the Union, and we heartily welcome them. The man is blindly sensitive indeed who cannot distinguish these apples from the the horse droppings

I just signed up to the MCA Chamber of Commerce. Very excited to get out there and meet local business people and show them what GoTo11 can do for the their business. I see an opportunity in this town as many businesses online branding is seriously lacking. Looking forward to the first social gathering and seeing how it goes, guess this means I need to print more business cards!
