(14842, Heye Foundation Collection, OHS).
Born on September 21, 1864, on a farm in Cherokee County, Alabama, future U.S. Rep. James Sanford Davenport was the tenth of eleven children born to William A. J. and Amanda C. Davenport. In 1880 the Davenports moved to Faulkner County, Arkansas, and farmed near Conway. Educated in the local schools and at Greenbrier Academy, the future solon did not attend college. Nevertheless, he aspired to become an attorney, and while teaching school in rural Faulkner County, he also studied law in the office of G. W. Bruce. In 1890 Davenport was admitted to the Arkansas bar. That same year he moved to Indian Territory and was admitted to practice law. In 1891 he joined a law firm with offices in Muskogee and South McAlester. Two years later he moved to Vinita, and he also practiced law there.
In 1892 Davenport married Guelielma Ross, great-granddaughter of John Ross, the longtime principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. The Davenports had three children. Guelielma Davenport died in 1898. In 1907 Davenport married Byrd Ironside, also a member of the Cherokee Nation. As an intermarried citizen of the tribe, he served as a member of the Cherokee National Council from 1897 to 1901 and was speaker of the Cherokee lower house the last two years. From 1901 to 1907 he was an attorney for the tribe and was instrumental in putting freedmen on allotment rolls.
Always active in organizing the Democratic Party in Indian Territory, Davenport was among the first Oklahomans elected to the U.S. Congress in 1907. Defeated for reelection to the Third District seat in 1908, he recaptured it in 1911 and served until 1917. Although Davenport contested the 1916 election, Republican challenger Thomas Alberter Chandler won the subsequent court case. While in Congress, Davenport served on committees including Expenditures in the War Department, Territories, Insular Affairs, and Roads. The congressman was a member of the committee that created the first roads and highways committee in the U.S. House.
In 1917 Davenport returned to Vinita and resumed his law practice. In 1926 he again entered public service when he was elected a judge of the Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma. Because of his service on the bench, Davenport etched a lasting mark on Oklahoma's judicial history. Reelected to this position twice, he was serving at the time of his death on January 3, 1940, in Oklahoma City. He was interred in Fairview Cemetery in Vinita.

Q: UPDATE multiple rows using SELECT I have A table and two rows with id=1 and id=2 and their x parameter is 1. I also have B table and two rows with same id 1 and 2. I am trying to update all of the data(column)on B table which has same id with A table whose x parameter is 1.
A table
id | x |
 1 | 1 |
 2 | 1 |

B table
id | Y  |
 1 | yes|
 2 | yes|

My query is
 UPDATE B SET y='No' WHERE B.id=(SELECT A.id FROM A WHERE A.x=1);

The problem is select returns mutliple data and i can only update the first data.
I tried to use JOIN but sqlite gives syntax error near INNER i couldn't find the problem.
 UPDATE B SET B.y='No' INNER JOIN A ON B.id=A.id WHERE A.x=1;

A: Use this:
UPDATE ... WHERE B.id IN (SELECT A.id ...);

Marketers, are you listening to what your customers are saying? According to a 2017 global trends and insight report on voice technology and its impact on brands, you need to be. According to the study ingeniously titled "Speak Easy Global, The Future Speaks to You", voice technology will redefine how we live our lives, and bring dramatic change to the customer experience. Your customer.
1. Numbers - According to the study, which was done by J. Walter Thompson Innovation Group London and Mindshare Futures, ComScore forecasts that half of all searches will be voice driven by 2020. Already, Google reports that 20% of mobile searches on Android are voice. Ovum predicts that by 2021, there will be 7.5 billion devices being used by consumers - more digital assistants than humans on the planet.
If your business is not preparing for voice search, you will be left looking at the back of the consumer bandwagon as it speeds away from you instead of being the one driving it. According to Search Engine Land, a recent BrightEdge survey of 252 digital brand marketers revealed an incredible gap between where consumers are with their technology adoption, and where marketers are as far as implementing voice search. For example, voice search/digital assistants was at the top of the list of "next big things," according to marketers, but 66 percent of marketers have NO plans to begin preparing for voice search.
2. Neuroscience - According to the study, a partnership between J. Walter Thompson Innovation Group London and Mindshare Futures, saying a brand name also appears to strengthen the pre-existing emotional associations to a greater degree than typing it. Add to that, stress levels go down when using voice as opposed to typing on a keypad. Voice search is the most intuitive search we humans can use. It will help strengthen positive emotions (as well as negative emotions) each time consumers say your brand name.
Working with Neuro-Insight, a neuroscience market research firm, Speak Easy investigated the brain's responses to voice compared with touch or typing. What they found when people asked a question involving a brand name, was that their brain activity showed a much stronger emotional response compared to people typing that same brand question. Combine that emotional response with the fact that cognitive load is lessened by voice search and you have consumers searching for ie- connecting with your brand on an emotional level that is hard to beat.
Does Worry Over Marketing Keep You Up at Night?
If worry over your marketing is keeping you up at night, check out the Speak Easy study to begin to get a handle on the power of voice technology and contact Shane Shirley Media for a free marketing consult.
Good news for makers of microphone technology as well. I invested in stock of the top microphone manufacturers the first time I heard about voice search technology. I'm still betting this will pay off in the near future.
Marketing vice technology is no doubt more important than the printed one. Because unfortunately we read very often but listen anytime.

While there isn't a causal relationship between technology use and human development, I do think some of the correlations are strong enough to encourage you to limit your children's screen time.
Many people do not realize just how much technology that they use each and every day. We are a world that is literally run off of the technology that we have created over the past 100 years. As the years have gone by, click site that progressed and we have been able to live our lives a whole lot easier. Here are a few ways that you can take a look at technology and truly see how it can improve your life.

This STC presentation presents tools and strategies that municipalities can use to improve flood resilience.
"A flood resilient community is one in which residents and institutions have the capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from flooding with minimal outside assistance." This STC presentation provides an introduction to watershed functions and presents strategies for achieving flood resilience: (1) Manage water where it falls. (2) Make space for water. (3) Live with floods.
This STC presentation challenges communities to consider additional strategies for managing flood risks. No Adverse Impact is a "good neighbor" approach based on the premise that it is not right to transfer or worsen a flooding problem. No one has the right to use their property to harm other people. Any adverse impacts should either be avoided or mitigated.
This 90 minute training was prepared by the Upper Susquehanna Coalition to provide municipal leaders and highway superintendents with a basic understanding of stream processes, sources of stream instability, and post-flood stream management strategies.

The Worst Pandemics to Ever Hit the Philippines
James Gonzales Trending, History April 3, 2020 July 26, 2021
The last few months have seen an unexpected upending of the modern way of life. Countries all over the world have been instituting quarantine and lockdown efforts in order to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, now named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO). COVID-19, first described as a "pneumonia of unknown origin," was first discovered in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China in late December 2019.
After its spread through mainland China and other countries, it was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by WHO on January 30, 2020. By March 11, WHO declared it was a pandemic, urging countries to ramp up their responses to the virus in order to curb the spread. As of April 3, 2020, COVID-19 has infected over 1 million people worldwide, causing 53,238 deaths, affecting 204 countries and territories.
Learning About Indonesia's Ancient Culture in the Tana Toraja
James Gonzales History, Travel March 19, 2020 July 26, 2021
Traveling is an opportunity to visit areas that are off the beaten path. With access to different areas in the world steadily growing thanks to improvements in transport and tourism, more people have the opportunity now to explore hidden gems. More than just seeing the sights or checking out the most Instagrammable spots, travelers should use the experience to enrich themselves and learn more about a place's history and culture.
Previously on the blog, we've talked about '10 Famous Mountains in the Philippines'. Today, let's dive into one of the richest cultures in Indonesia, Tana Toraja.
Jane Adamson History, Lifestyle February 18, 2020 July 26, 2021
The Philippines is home to a long and rich history of excellence in visual arts. This tradition started as early as the 19th century with Damian Domingo, also known as the Father of Filipino Painting, who was the first Filipino to paint a self-portrait. He was followed by greats such as Juan Luna, who painted the world-renowned Spoliarium, andFabián de la Rosa, uncle and mentor to Fernando Amorsolo.
Mastery of the visual arts has been passed down through the decades, and the Philippine government has sought to reward that through the Order of National Artists. The Order of National Artists, also known as Orden ng mga Pambansang Alagad ng Sining, is the highest national recognition given to Filipinos who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of arts in the Philippines. Jointly administered by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), it's an honor conferred by the President of the Republic based on recommendations by both institutions. Here's a list of the greatest names in Philippine visual arts who have been given this honor.
The Most Popular Traditional Filipino Drinks
Jonah De Jesus Food, History January 27, 2020 July 26, 2021
Every culture has its own history of brewing and distilling liquor and spirits from local ingredients. When Ferdinand Magellan and the rest of the Spanish conquistadors first arrived in the Philippine islands, natives offered them local goods like fish, figs, and coconuts. They also gave them a jar of local alcohol, which historians claim was either arack, which is wine made from palm, or tuba, wine made from fermented coconut nectar.
The culture of drinking in the Philippines has continued into the present, with different bars, pubs, speakeasies, restaurants, and the like serving a wide variety of liquor and alcoholic concoctions. If you're looking to explore locally-made spirits and wines made from native ingredients and rooted in cultural history and tradition, here's a list of common Filipino drinks worth trying out.
The Best Universities in the Philippines
Jane Adamson History, Lifestyle October 30, 2019 July 25, 2021
The University of the Philippines recently made headlines again, this time because the institution earned a spot in the top 500 universities worldwide. The list, made by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2020, covered 1,400 universities from 92 countries around the world. The performance of institutions was measured by the core objectives of teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.
Areas in Southeast Asia Most Affected by Natural Disasters
James Gonzales History, Travel September 24, 2019 July 25, 2021
Southeast Asia is usually seen as an idyllic area full of tropical beaches and sunny weather, but the reality of the region is more complex than that. Home to 8.5% of the world's population, the World Economic Forum also describes it as the region that experiences the most natural disasters in the world.
Areas in the Philippines Most Affected by Natural Disasters
Last June 2019, PAGASA officially declared the start of the rainy season in the Philippines. Preparing for days, even weeks, of heavy rain is certainly something Filipinos aren't new to — PAGASA says much of the Philippine climate is characterized by heavy rainfall. With a tropical and maritime climate, rain is something that all regions experience, but to varying degrees. For example, Baguio City, Eastern Samar, and Eastern Surigao usually experience the most amount of rain, while the southern portion of Cotabato experiences the least.
Weird Philippine Laws You Probably Didn't Know About
James Gonzales History October 29, 2018 July 25, 2021
Living in a society means that there are certain social rules or norms that you need to abide by in order to keep the peace. In a modern nation-state, these norms are codified into laws. According to the University of Melbourne Southeast Asian Legal Research Guide, the Philippine legal system in particular is a mixture of customary laws, civil laws, Islamic laws, and the Anglo-American system. The main sources of Philippine law are:
The 1987 Constitution – the highest law of the land
Statutes – Acts of Congress, municipal charters and legislation, court rules, administrative rules and orders, legislative rules, and presidential decrees or issuances
Judicial decisions – decisions of the Supreme Court, which are binding in all other courts
Given the Philippines' rich cultural history, including influences from religious customs, Spanish rule, and American colonization, laws in this country can go from the standard rules that every society needs to function, to some truly wacky regulations. Let's take a look at some of the laws still in force today that would make anyone reading them do a double-take.

Why exactly did the jury find copyright infringement in the case of Blurred Lines?
I've listened to parts of Blurred Lines and Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up, and I don't get it. I hear similarities, but no song can be entirely new, here in this century.
What were the specific elements that were declared to be copied, not merely inspired by?
The jury bought into the Gaye's attorney's arguments that they should consider a "constellation" of features when comparing the two songs. This legal standard will likely be challenged on appeal because it deviates greatly from previously established case law. Prior song copyright cases had used melody and lyrics as the two decisive factors, either one of which could be sufficient to render a work a copyright infringement.
In contrast, previous lawsuits that had claimed infringement due to style, chord changes, or other factors often failed. A famous example of this is the 1985 lawsuit Fantasy, Inc. v. Fogerty where Saul Zaentz of Fantasy Records sued John Fogerty on the grounds that his 1985 solo hit The Old Man Down the Road sounded similar to the 1970 Creedence Clearwater Revival song (that Fogerty also wrote) Run Through the Jungle.
Juries are inherently unpredictable and this particular Blurred Lines case was further muddied by a counter suit and odd testimony by Robin Thicke that he had been too drunk and high to write Blurred Lines. Not wanting to rely on a jury's interpretation is why most copyright cases are settled out-of-court.
To my mind, this was the second recent copyright case that marks a disturbing trend. Tom Petty claimed ownership of a chord progression from I Won't Back Down and challenged Sam Smith about his song Stay With Me. This was settled out of court so is not an official precedent, but a chord progression, like a beat, bass line, tempo, or other song feature, has not previously been held able to be copyrighted.
As I once heard someone remark, "If you could copyright a bass line or a rhythm pattern, Willie Dixon and Bo Diddley would be as rich as Bill Gates." Unfortunately, the law may be shifting in that direction.

The first thing that you need to realize when considering weight loss through eating habits alone is that eating less is not the answer in most cases.
Trying to cut back too much on the amount of food you are eating will only benefit you in the short term and even then it really isn't benefiting you at all. This is because once your body gets used to the fact that you are literally starving yourself it will begin to adjust itself in order to cope with the changes. Basically, this means that your metabolism will slow down. So, unless you plan on starving yourself for the rest of your life in order to achieve weight loss goals it just won't work out. Instead, you need to focus on eating food regularly throughout the day.
There are foods that help lose weight and answer how to lose weight by eating as well.
The absolute best way to eat is to have smaller portioned meals frequently throughout the day.
Now, eating a high number of small portioned meals may not be an option for everyone and this is absolutely fine. So, if you can't manage to fit a lot of smaller meals into your day then at least strive to include the standard 3 meals into your day.
You want to be eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the very least and it is very important that you include all 3 of these meals in your daily routine in order to keep your metabolism going.
We also have a guide on how to eat to lose weight in case you don't know.
In addition to including a high number of smaller portioned meals in your day you will also want to make sure that the meals you are eating consist of healthy foods that work for weight loss. It is something rather obvious when considering to lose weight by eating but it is something you absolutely need to live by nonetheless. As much as possible you'll want the foods you are eating to whole foods or organic foods. Likewise, you'll want to stay far away from junk foods, foods with additives, processed foods, and pretty much any of the unhealthy food that is available to use today.
Proper nutrition is the most important factor in terms of losing weight by eating. After all, it is what you eat! The reason why making the transition from most modern junk foods to organic and whole foods is because modern junk foods are mainly responsible for all obesity that exists today. If you think about it these types of foods are a large part of our culture and as such it is considered normal for us to eat this junk day in a day out. This just isn't acceptable if you want to lose weight eating foods.
The thing about weight loss and eating in order to lose pounds is that it all comes down to you. You are the deciding factor when it comes to determining whether or not you will lose weight through your eating habits.
You see, I could go over every technical detail there is to know about eating to lose pounds and it wouldn't do you a thing if you weren't willing to put it into practice. With that said, you don't need to know everything there is to know about nutrition in order to make a substantial change in your health and well being. All you need to be concerned about is sticking to the basics, what has been outlined in this article, and staying committed.
As long as you can alter your eating habits, eating schedule, and eat sensibly then you can and will lose pounds. Remember though, if you aren't willing to put forth the effort then you aren't going to see any weight loss result no matter how good this article was in answering how to lose weight by eating.

Bill Morrison (born on November 17th, 1965 in Chicago) is a New York based filmmaker and artist. From 1983 to 1985, Morrison attended Reed College and graduated from Cooper Union School of Art in 1989. His films incorporate rare archival material, are set to contemporary music and have been screened in theatres, cinemas, museums, galleries, and concert halls around the world.
Morrison worked at the New York Museum of Modern Art between October 2014 and March 2015. He is a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, received the Alpert Awards in the Arts, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Capital, and a fellowship from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Furthermore, his theatrical project design with Ridge Theatre was awarded with two Bessie Awards and an Obie Award.
Morrison has collaborated with a multitude of influential composers and performers of our time, such as: John Adams, Maya Beiser, Gavin Bryars, Dave Douglas, Richard Einhorn, Erik Friedlander, Bill Frisell, Philip Glass, Michael Gordon, Henryk Gorecki, Michael Harrison, Ted Hearne, Vijay Iyer, Johann Johannsson, Kronos Quartet, David Lang, David T. Little, Michael Montes, Harry Partch, Steve Reich, Todd Reynolds, Aleksandra Vrebalov, and Julia Wolfe, to name a few.
In 2002, Morrison collaborated with composer Michael Gordon to make 'Decasia', a feature-length which was selected by the Library of Congress to its National Film Registry in 2013. The two men's feature-length was the first film of the 21st century to be selected to the list, earning it recognition from individuals, such as J. Hoberman, the film critic who said it was "the most widely acclaimed American avant-garde film of the fin-de-siècle". The filmmaker Errol Morris also hailed their creation and deemed it as maybe being "the greatest movie ever made." Basel Sinfonietta commissioned the film and it was to be shown on three screens surrounding the audience, with 55 musicians performing Michael Gordon's score.
After his success with 'Decasia', Morrison collaborated with composer/trumpeter Dave Douglas and made 'Spark of Being'. Following the film's release, they were awarded with the Douglas Edwards Experimental/Independent Film/Video Award at the 2011 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards.
His film 'The Great Flood' was the product of one of his latest collaborations in 2014 with composer/guitarist Bill Frisell, leading him to receive the Smithsonian Magazine's American Ingenuity Award for Historical Scholarship.

Let's say you have 12 friends (yeah, it's a huge sleepover. Maybe it's your birthday or something.) From a deck of cards you separate out one ace, one king, one queen, three jacks, and 6 of anything else. Mix up these cards and then everyone draws one. the ace is the seer, the king is the healer, the queen is the hunter, a jack is a werewolf, anything else is regular human. Once you have your roles there is a "day time" when everyone can talk and look around etc. You try to gather clues as to what everyone is. At the end of the "day" you ask if there should be a hanging. If you don't want to kill anyone off everyone puts there heads down and the spokes person (whose head is also down) calls out the roles one at a time. When the seer is called, he can tap someone on the shoulder and, without looking at the seer, that person shows their card to the seer. Next the healer is called. The healer taps someone on their shoulder and that person can't be eaten by the werewolves. Then the werewolves are called. (cue creepy music...) All living werewolves silently pick one person to tap on the shoulder. That person waits until "day time" is called and then screams and falls down dead. (The hunter lies in wait. If the last living werewolf eats the hunter before only two players are left, the humans win. If this happens then, instead of screaming and falling down dead when "day time" is called, the hunter announces that he is the hunter and has shot the werewolf, and the werewolf screams and falls down dead and the game is over.) You play until either the werewolves win or the humans win.
It's a pretty fun game and there is an online version that we would LOVE to have more people join. It is a website run by a guy named Stenu that built it himself. The website is (Click on the following...) www.voitta.net. You have to sign up for an account, but you don't have to give too much info at all. You then go to "Waiting Games" and pick what game you want to join. (There is also Risk that they call "Fisk" and you get an email when it's your turn, which is cool. There are some other games too...) Click "join" and you are IN!!! Then you can click on "Own Games" and your list of games will appear under three tabs... Running, Waiting, and Ended. You'll get an email when the game actually starts. That's about it.
Anyway, PLEASE come join us. We have fun!
I love playing this game and Risk (Fisk). It's nice to be able to play the game without having to sit down for several hours to finish. I'm jcase16 on there and Ashley is dancer02. Werewolf seems very odd at first, but becomes much more fun as you learn the game and the other players better. I really like that they do not require much time to play at all. You just play when you can. Come play. It's a lot of fun.

1MDB: Malaysia's extraordinary financial scandal
Kuala Lumpur (AFP)
Malaysia's extraordinary 1MDB corruption scandal allegedly saw top officials loot billions from a state fund and go on a worldwide spending spree -- buying a super yacht, paintings by Van Gogh and Monet, and financing a Hollywood blockbuster.
It also dragged in global banking giant Goldman Sachs, which this week said it had set aside $1.1 billion for settlements after helping raise $6.5 billion for the now defunct Malaysian sovereign wealth fund, which prosecutors say was looted of $4.5 billion between 2009 and 2015.
The controversy had a huge impact in Malaysia, contributing to the downfall of a coalition that had ruled the country since its independence from Britain in 1957. It also led to the US indictments of two ex-Goldman bankers, one of whom pleaded guilty.
Malaysia's disgraced former leader Najib Razak -- who denies any wrongdoing -- has been hit with dozens of charges related to the fraud since losing power last year, and two of several expected trials have already started.
Here is a look back at the saga:
- What was 1MDB? -
1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) was a state investment fund which Razak launched in 2009 shortly after becoming prime minister.
Its portfolio included power plants and other energy assets in Malaysia and the Middle East, as well as real estate in Kuala Lumpur.
The fund was closely overseen by Najib.
Whistleblowers say Low Taek Jho, a jet-setting Malaysian financier close to Najib but with no official positions -- helped set up 1MDB and made key financial decisions.
Concerns escalated in 2014 as 1MDB slid into an $11-billion debt hole, and intensifying public scrutiny led to a string of revelations concerning missing funds.
The scandal first came to light through the Sarawak Report news portal, and gained further traction in July 2015 when The Wall Street Journal published documents showing Najib received at least $681 million in payments to his personal bank accounts.
- Rich living -
The US Department of Justice launched a probe due to claims that stolen Malaysian public money was laundered through the US financial system, and filed lawsuits seeking some $1.7 billion in assets allegedly purchased with the cash.
In its civil suits, the department said more than $4.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB between 2009 and 2015 by high-level officials at the fund and their associates.
Tens of millions of dollars was used in 2012 by Najib's stepson Riza Aziz, an aspiring film producer, to fund the Hollywood film "The Wolf of Wall Street", starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Hundreds of millions were used, mainly by Riza and Low, to purchase high-end real estate in Beverly Hills, New York and London.
A Monet painting bought for $35 million, a Van Gogh for $5.5 million, a $35-million Bombardier jet, a $100-million stake in EMI Music Publishing, and a $250 million yacht were also ticked off the shopping list.
- Election meltdown -
Najib desperately sought to contain the scandal, targeting critics and introducing repressive laws, but the allegations hit the popularity of his long-ruling coalition and contributed to its shock election defeat last year.
A new government headed by veteran politician Mahathir Mohamad, who is 94 and in his second stint as premier, came to office on a wave of public anger, and has re-opened investigations.
Najib has since been hit with dozens of charges. He denies any wrongdoing.
During trial proceedings in December, Najib's lawyer described the former leader as a victim, and accused the fugitive financier Low, nicknamed Jho Low, of being the mastermind.
- Goldman's role -
Malaysia has also charged Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs and some of its current and former employees over the scandal in relation to the bank's role in arranging bond issues for 1MDB.
Two ex-bankers were accused -- along with Low and a former 1MDB employee -- of being involved in misappropriating large sums during the fund-raising, bribing officials to ensure they were selected to carry out work and giving false statements to investors.
They were also charged in the US and one of them, Tim Leissner, has pleaded guilty to bribery and money laundering conspiracy charges there and agreed to a lifetime ban from the securities industry.
The second, Ng Chong Hwa, has been extradited to the US and has pleaded not guilty to bribery and other charges.
Goldman has vowed to fight the charges facing the bank.
- Settlement reports -
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Goldman Sachs is in talks with American authorities to admit guilt and pay a massive fine to end the US criminal probe into the scandal.
Goldman Sachs is close to an agreement with the Justice Department on a fine of close to $2 billion the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.
A spokeswoman for the bank declined to provide details on the possible settlement.

New Milford mayor is new HVECO chairman
News-Times, The (Danbury, CT), Nanci G. Hutson staff writer
Published 1:00 am EST, Monday, March 2, 2009
New Milford Mayor Patricia Murphy believes collaboration rather than competition with municipal neighbors ensures none of them will be forgotten in Hartford.
The impact one town can have is far less than when multiple town leaders stand united around a common cause, Murphy said. That philosophy is why her fellow chief executives recently endorsed her as chairman of the 10-town
Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials (HVECO), the regional planning organization headquartered in Brookfield. "She is, and will be, perfect for the job,'' said Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi , a past chairman, noting Murphy's leadership and knowledge of regional issues. Murphy is also well aware of the state legislative process and far from shy about buttonholing lawmakers to push the region's agenda. "She is not afraid to make a tough decision,'' Marconi said. At a time when Gov.
M. Jodi Rell is pushing regionalization but proposes cuts to the state's regional planning organizations, Marconi said, Murphy will be a strong advocate for HVECO's existence. Sherman First Selectman Andrea O'Connor , the most recent past HVECO president, said she believes Murphy will be an effective leader at a time when it is critical for regional planning entities to remain fiscally solvent. O'Connor said she was proud to lead such a "vibrant organization,'' and she expects Murphy will ensure the organization keeps its voice. On Monday, Murphy said she is honored to accept what is usually a two-year position because she favors a regional approach, particularly where it can save money or improve the quality of life. HVECO has produced a regional emergency preparedness plan, initiated regional purchasing, and proved an effective advocate for a shoreline management policy for Candlewood Lake, Murphy said. In the future, HVECO will be a significant player in regional economic development, she said. No one town can do it all. HVECO will also be looking closely at the federal stimulus package to be sure this region is not overlooked, she said. For local residents or industry professionals seeking an audience with town leaders on transportation, environmental or affordable housing issues, HVECO offers a type of one-stop shopping with "pretty dynamic people,'' Murphy said. Information can be more efficiently shared and distributed through a regional forum, she said. HVECO is an organization that has "stood the test of time,'' Murphy said, and she embraces the opportunity to lead it.
Contact Nanci Hutson at nhutson@newstimes.com or at (860) 354-2274.
HVECO facts: n Regional planning organization developed in the 1970s n Chairman elected in January is New Milford Mayor Patricia Murphy. n Some topics of interest for coming year are regionalization of municipal resources, federal stimulus package, economic development, Candlewood Lake shoreline management plan, affordable housing, transportation (including passenger rail service), and air space management. n Its public meetings are the third Thursday of the month (except holidays) at 12:30 p.m. in Brookfield Town Hall. Agendas are posted at www.hveco.org n For more information, call HVECO executive director Jonathan Chew at (203) 775-6256.


Joy Chen can transform a business, even in midst of economic downturn. She joined Yes to Inc., after 17 years at Clorox, quadrupling the business revenue and increasing the valuation of the company five times. During her role as CEO of Yes to, Inc. the natural beauty brand was recognized as one of the Top 100 fastest growing companies in the SF Bay Area.
Last year, after five years with the company, Chen left Yes to for H20+, a beauty brand that's been around since 1989. Chen is helping modernize the co. (it's now H20+ Beauty) grow its global presence, and remains ever-enthusiastic about the jump from startup to established brand.
We checked in with CEO to get her take on innovation and playing it safe.
Can you tell us a little bit about your background? You've worked with some major brands, you were a VP at Clorox, you've turned major companies around, but where did you get your start?
I worked on many brands when I was at Clorox – from cat litter to cleaning products to bleach. Through this time, I worked on many brands including brand turnarounds where the brand was in trouble and had to revitalize it for growth. I realized that I was most challenged and excited when I was fixing a business problem like that. That's why when I left Clorox, I was looking for a brand that I could turnaround to profitable growth.
Was there a "grunt job" that you remember hating, but ended up taking away some major lessons that you're now grateful for?
I had to take a sales role at Clorox, but my career was in Marketing and my goal was to be a general manager someday. I saw the sales role as a setback to my career path. It turned out to be the best role I have ever taken because it set me up to be a better CEO. It taught me how to sell my ideas and influence others to come along with my vision. I met one of my mentors, who was then my boss. He taught me how to be successful in a male-dominated corporate world.
Let's chat about your current position as CEO of H20+. This is a brand that's been around since 1989. How do you innovate and differentiate with a brand that's almost 30?
Innovation and differentiation are the lifelines for building brands. It does not matter how old a brand is, there is always a way to innovate because consumer needs always change. I worked on Clorox Bleach when it was around 80 years old and I launched concentrated improved bleach which ended up changing the entire bleach category.
"Innovation and differentiation are the lifelines for building brands."
At H2O+ Beauty, we took the DNA that made H2O+ successful 26 years ago, and brought it into our re-imagined brand to meet changing consumer needs. This resulted in a collection of simple yet effective products, which brings beauty back into the hands of the consumer. As part of the legacy of H2O+ Beauty, innovation will continue to be part of our ongoing plan in addressing consumers' ever-changing needs.
What are you working against when you're rebranding?
The challenge is how to retain our current loyal consumers while making changes in the rebranding to appeal to new consumers. We made the products better and more effective, and we also removed the no-good ingredients like phthalates, parabens, mineral oil. Additionally, we are also working to shift our distribution channels so they are consistent with the omni-channel shopper. For example, we are placing emphasis on establishing our website as our new flagship store and supporting it with other brick and mortar beauty retailers like Ulta.
When rebranding you have to take a creative approach. But what are some creative approaches you've taken with leadership?
We have studied and gotten inspiration from disruptive brands in categories outside of skincare and beauty to refine our rebranding. In addition to consumer feedback, we have incorporated feedback on our rebranding from industry experts including retailers, beauty editors, influencers, and agencies. We found these creative approaches have shaped the reimagined H2O+ Beauty brand.
What's exciting about working with an older brand? vs. a brand like Yes to?
H2O+ Beauty has a strong heritage and many have heard of it. It also has proven to be successful in the marketplace with its innovative products, particularly its Oasis Hydrating Treatment, the first of its kind featuring hydrogel technology. When we share the news of our rebranding with industry experts it's even more exciting as they are familiar with the success and history of the brand.
When is the right time to play it safe?
On the flip side, you've talked about "punching above your weight class." When is the right time to aim up?
Always. My mentor has told me that danger lies not in setting your aim too high and falling short but in setting your aim too low and achieving the mark. It's always important for a leader to aim high and lead the team to achieve the goal.
"Danger lies in setting your aim too low and achieving the mark."
1) Be clear and consistent with what the brand stands for. 2) Respect your consumers as they are always right. 3) Strive for positive change that benefits the consumer, the team and the broader community.


Enjoy a few moments of pure inspiration with this artfully-created short film of a 1950s-inspired styled wedding shoot. Filmed by Vintage Cinema in collaboration with Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore who styled the shoot, the upbeat video brings to life all the details in this playful wedding sequence, from the sleek Airstream trailer to the vintage-inspired dresses by Ivy and Aster, Coren Moore and J. Crew. "We channeled Mad Men's Betty Draper," says Chapman, "and and conjured up playful attire that complemented the rustic setting. We hope this shoot inspires you to add a little bit of 1950's nostalgia to your wedding or welcome party!"


"Just 16 mcg per day of 4-methylimidazole is enough to pose a cancer threat, and most popular brown colas (diet & regular) contain 200 mcg per 20 oz. bottle."
The average American drinks 300 bottles of soda per year, each of which contains between 7-14 teaspoons of sugar. Most sodas contain no nutritional value - they simply contain empty calories.
Sodas and energy drinks that are low or zero-calorie are not much better, and typically contain artificial sweeteners that add to their health depleting effects.
Energy drinks also contain the addition of chemicals and stimulants to artificially stimulate the central nervous system. Most of the vitamins and minerals that have been added are synthetic.
Many of us have done it... We have a long drive through the night ahead of us and need to stay awake, or we have a test we need to study for. We guzzle a few energy drinks, and voila! We made it! The odd energy drink is not the problem (even though a good quality strong coffee is a much better alternative), but for many people, energy drinks play a much greater role when drank on a daily basis.
The average 16 oz. can of energy drink can contain 13 teaspoons of sugar and the caffeine equivalent of 4 or more colas. Despite what flashy energy drink labels say, there is very little difference between a soda and an energy drink. Most of them are glorified sodas containing a different array of chemicals. The main difference is the use of a stimulant such as caffeine. If an energy drink advertises "no caffeine" it is because other stimulants are used instead such as taurine, guarana, ephedra, or similar substances. The end result is artificial stimulation of the body, regardless of which stimulant is used. Energy drinks can often contain multiple stimulants to increase their effects.
Needing an artificial energy boost on a regular basis from energy drinks is a warning sign. Take a look at the millions of workers in corporate America who simply cannot function without a cup of coffee in the morning. It is an addiction that can and will take its toll on the body. The chronic artificial stimulation caused by caffeine and energy drinks on the body, especially the adrenals, contributes to a general weakening of the system, thyroid imbalances, and the onset of adrenal and chronic fatigue.
Stimulant drinks are not healthy or natural, and they do not offer us any health benefits. Quit the chemicalized energy drinks, and get high on life, not chemicals!
The false advertising of energy drink manufacturers lull many people into believing their drinks are healthy, but especially target the health and fitness, and weight loss industry. Energy drink manufacturer's blaze all sorts of misleading words on their labels to give the illusion their products are healthy. Ingredients are made to sound high-tech that are actually a concoction of artificially made chemicals that are foreign to the body. The FDA does not define the term "energy drink" and manufacturers are left to their own devices to determine what that means and what ingredients they can use. False claims such as "natural" and "lose weight" and "energize" and "improved performance and concentration" along with other catch-phrases shamelessly draw the public to their products.
When taken before and during workouts, energy drinks can overstimulate the entire system causing internal stress. A fit, healthy, vibrant body never need any artificial jolt to exercise or get through the day.
Most soft drinks contain ingredients associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, a name given to a collection of different risk factors for both diabetes and heart disease. Those who drink soda have a 20% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies also show an association between drinking both regular and diet soda, and larger waistlines. The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is so strong, researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6 times.
Harvard School of Public Health researchers found that drinking just 1 sugary drink per day was associated with a 20% increase in a man's risk of having a heart attack over a 22 yr. period. This risk increased along with the amount of sugary drinks consumed, regardless of factors such as family history, tobacco use, and BMI.
A study of 2,600 adults found that those who drank diet soda regularly were 40% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
A study conducted by the Imperial College of London concluded that drinking 1 can of soda or sugary drink each day is likely to raise your chance of getting type 2 diabetes by 20%. Researchers concluded that it is not just weight gain that soft drinks cause, but they could also be causing an increase in insulin resistance.
A study published in 2008 tracking the health and diet of over 9,500 men and women over 9 years showed that participants who drank 1 soda per day had a 34% higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those who drank none.
Danish researchers discovered that drinking non-diet sodas leads to a dramatic increase in fat build-up around the liver and skeletal muscles, both of which can contribute to insulin resistance and diabetes. The study revealed that people who drank a regular soda every day for 6 months saw a 132-142% increase in liver fat, a 117-221% jump in skeletal fat, and an approximate 30% increase in both triglyceride blood fats and other organ fats. Their consumption also led to an 11% increase in cholesterol, compared with those who drank other beverages such as water or milk.
"Data from this and other prospective studies suggests that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners as healthy alternatives may be ill-advised," study researcher Helen P. Hazuda, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center said in a statement. "They may be free of calories, but not of consequences."
Soft drinks contain a flavoring agent called phosphoric acid, and a high phosphate diet has been associated with bone breakdown and an increased risk of osteoporosis. This is because phosphoric acid is, well, extremely acidic. The body recognizes that the blood is now more acidic and immediately tries to restore balance by neutralizing this acid. To do this, it leaches calcium (an alkaline mineral) from our bones and our teeth, contributing to osteoporosis.
A study from Tufts University found that women who reported drinking just 3 colas per week had an average of 4% more bone loss in the hips than women who drank any other beverage. The study concluded that phosphoric acid causes greater acidity in the blood, and in order to restore balance, the body releases calcium from bones and teeth to neutralize this excess acid. The Tufts study noted that cola-based drinks, such as Pepsi or Coke, are the ones highest in phosphoric acid and are more likely to lead to osteoporosis as compared to sodas without cola.
Colas contain high levels of phosphoric acid, which has been linked to kidney stones and other renal problems. Evidence suggests that consuming too much phosphorus may strain the kidneys. Japanese researchers have gone as far as to recommend that even healthy people avoid colas. Those who already have kidney failure have long been warned to avoid high-phosphorus foods such as colas.
Harvard Medical School researchers found that drinking 2 or more diet sodas daily was associated with a 200% increase in kidney problems.
The artificial caramel coloring used to make Coke, Pepsi, and other colas brown contains 2 contaminants in the coloring, 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole. Both contaminants have been found to cause cancer in animals. To add insult to injury, the coloring is purely cosmetic and is only used to make the soda "look good!" According to California's Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to cause cancer, just 16 mcg per person per day of 4-methylimidazole is enough to pose a cancer threat, and most popular brown colas (both diet and regular) contain 200 mcg per 20 oz. bottle.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has petitioned the FDA to ban both of these substances, and soft drink manufacturers have committed to removing these chemicals from their sodas. But why the FDA allows such chemicals to exist in our food chain to begin with, knowing the health dangers, is just as concerning.
Soda are highly acidic and easily dissolve the enamel from our teeth, laying the foundation for tooth decay and abscesses if left untreated. Dentists have coined the term "Mountain Dew Mouth" for kids that come in for a check-up with a mouth full of cavities caused by the high amount of sugar in sodas.
Learn about how diet plays an important role in jaw structure and teeth health, both during pregnancy, and in the diets of infants and children.
BPA is a dangerous chemical that has been linked to many health issues ranging from hormone disruption to infertility, reproductive cancers, and neurobehavioral effects such as autism and ADHD. The CDC has stated that soda cans, along with restaurant, school, and fast-food meals, are a major source of exposure to the chemical. Both Pepsi and Coke may be looking to develop a 100% BPA-free plastic bottle, but neither is focused on using BPA-free aluminum cans.
For younger women, soda may be linked to a reduction in fertility, which could be the result of BPA contamination.
Danish and American researchers discovered that women who drank 3 sodas per day were half as likely to get pregnant as women who avoided soda.
The CDC National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey found that those who drank more soda had higher levels of BPA in their urine.
The majority of corn grown within the US is genetically modified to resist toxic pesticides, with some strains of corn built to produce their own internal pesticide. Due to the lax FDA safety regulations, there are no long-term safety studies that exist to prove these crops are safe. On the contrary, independent studies conducted outside of the US have found that animals fed genetically modified crops exhibited digestive tract damage, organ damage, accelerated aging, infertility, and reduced life span. French scientists have found that rats fed a GMO corn diet over their entire 2-year lifespan developed mammary tumors and died earlier than rats that ate non-GMO corn for the same time frame.

Data from the Nurses' Health Study of 79,000 American women found that women who drank 2 sodas per day had more than double the risk of gout as compared to those who did not drink soda.

2018 Passings: East Bay politics lost Ron Dellums, Charlie Plummer
Date: December 31, 2018Author: Steven Tavares 1 Comment
Two giants of Alameda County politics passed away in 2018, along with three East Bay councilmembers.
RON DELLUMS, 82
Former Rep. Ron Dellums towered over East Bay politics from 1970s to late 1990s bringing a social and economic message that still forms the backbone of the region's politics today. Even though he served famously on the House Armed Services Committee, odd since he was anti-war, he nonetheless admired by his opponents for his fairness. His legacy remains alive with Rep. Barbara Lee, who took over for Dellums after his retirement in 1998.
Charlie Plummer served 20 years as Alameda County sheriff.
CHARLIE PLUMMER, 87
Gregarious in an old school cop way, Charlie Plummer served as Alameda County sheriff for two decades. But for many years afterward was consulted by local politicians for his knowledge of the county. As Hayward police chief in the mid-1970s, Plummer created the now widely referred "Cardinal Sins," which demanded, "honesty from all employees and prohibited bigotry, the acceptance of bribes, and the use of controlled substance."
DON BIDDLE, 80
Dublin Councilmember Don Biddle passed away in February after a brief illness. He served on the city council for nearly 10 years, winning re-election in 2010 and 2014. During his service he helped approve open space initiatives in Dublin and affordable housing for veterans.
LIL ARNERICH, 89
He was a former Oakland Oaks baseball player who once played with Joe DiMaggio, and used his love of sports and the youth to spearhead parks initiatives, in addition, to the retrofitting of Alameda High School. Anthony "Lil" Arnerich served on the Alameda City Council from 1988 to 1996 and continued to be a voice in the city politics literally until the day he passed away in March.
JOE HILSON
Although his defeat for re-election to the Hayward City Council in 2004 hastened the rise of two of the city's public officials, Joe Hilson served three terms on the city council with a focus on burgeoning technology that is now commonplace in all levels of government. The 2004 Hayward elections introduced the East Bay to Bill Quirk–a future assemblymember–and future two-term Hayward Mayor Barbara Halliday.

One thought on "2018 Passings: East Bay politics lost Ron Dellums, Charlie Plummer"
theomordha says:
Charlie Plummer was a terrific man. All who knew him respected him. He was honest and ethical and insisted on those from all who worked for him. You may not have agreed with him but he was someone you could work with. Sheriff Ahearn is a long way from wearing Charlie's shoes and the respect that all had for Sheriff Plummer.
Ron Dellums beginnings in Berkeley and Richmond were the heart and soul of the Sixties and early Seventies. He stood proud in representing his constituents and rose to a position of respect. His last few years were not so good. Barbara has tried and failed to do better than her boss. Ron is missed every day. Successors to her are scrambling. When she and Nancy leave there will be quite an event here in the East Bay and California to put together their replacements.

The Daily Reflector Interview with FreedomWorks Rev C.L. Bryant
By: FW Staff
The black community has been kept in bondage by the U.S. government, the speaker of an upcoming Black History Month event sponsored by the N.C. Republican Party's 1st Congressional District, said. C.L. Bryant, a Baptist minister, is appearing at an event scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday at Deadwood restaurant near Williamston. Tickets are $15 and include a meal.
Bryant, a former NAACP chapter president, was a founding member of two Louisiana-based tea party organizations. He also is the creator of "Runaway Slave," a documentary "about the race to free the black community from the slavery of tyranny and progressive policies," according to his website, clbryant.net.
"I am looking forward to building a bridge where a conversation can begin," Bryant said in a telephone interview. "I hope to be a bridge between the black community and the grassroots tea party community. Many black people don't understand how much they have in common with members of the grassroots movement. The only difference is the color of their skin. Their values are the same."
Bryant led the Garland, Texas, NAACP branch in the late 1980s.
He was a rising star because he was championing a lawsuit against the community's school system. That changed when he was asked by the national organization's director to speak at a pro-choice event. Bryant is staunchly pro-life and refused.
"When I declined to speak at this pro-choice rally, my star that had been rising abruptly began to set," Bryant said. Within a year, he parted with the NAACP.
About that same time, Bryant was driving in Florida and came across talk radio's Rush Limbaugh, who was berating then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton.
Bryant was intrigued by Limbaugh and became a regular listener.
"Over time, I began to realize what this guy was saying, that while the most part it was entertainment, he was saying what most people I knew were saying," Bryant said. "There needs to be more self-reliance among all of us, black and white, and government needs to be less involved in our lives."
"Once I decided to liberate myself, free myself from the system I was in, I began to think more for myself," he said.
It was difficult at times. People he considered friends labeled him a sell-out. That led Bryant to create "Runaway Slave" because his wife said that is how his former civil rights colleagues would treat him, as a runaway slave who needed to be caught and returned to the fold and re-indoctrinated.
"I remember the separate water fountains, I remember sitting on the back of the bus. I was 9 years old when the '64 and '65 Civil Rights Acts were signed," he said. "I am not speaking of something out of school. I've been on both sides."
Bryant is a fellow with FreedomWorks, which describes itself as "a grassroots service center dedicated to helping activists fight for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom." He is a contributor to television talk shows and writes a monthly political column.
"Reverand Bryant is an absolutely awesome motivational speaker and a voice for liberty and freedom," Garry Terry, chairman of NC Republican Party's 1st Congressional District organization, said. "His message is to break down the political chains that bind and to unleash the creative nature of African Americans and encourage leadership. We feel that he is the perfect speaker to help us celebrate past accomplishments, preserve our national heritage and ensure that the gains of the past are not lost in a failed economy or the morally bankrupt social fiber being fostered by many leaders today. We must focus our attention on creative minds, the youth of America, and look forward to a prosperous and secure future for all Americans."
North Carolina has 37,178 registered black Republicans, compared to the Democratic Party's 1.2 million registered black members.
Bryant said he hopes to see a cross-section of eastern North Carolinians at Friday's event.
"The one phrase I really have a distaste for is black outreach or African-American outreach," Bryant said. "In order for (the Republican Party) to effectively secure black voting anywhere, it is simply a case of Republicans not being afraid to tell their story. It's been effectively hijacked by the liberal media."
For too long the Democratic Party has portrayed itself as the protector of black rights and black advancement, Bryant said. Democratic policies have made people too dependent on government support, he said.
"It's time for us to awaken and live up to and remember what made us great as a nation. We need to remember that," he said. What has made America great is individual achievement, he said.
"The question has to be is how long do we have to see the playing field as unequal. I defy any black person in America to name one thing in America that their skin color would stop them from achieving," he said.
Deadwood is at 2302 Ed's Grocery Road. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit http://ncgop1.com. Tickets also will be available at the door.

Terry Seidel, Director of Land Protection for The Nature Conservancy in Ohio, discussed parkitecture, a style of architecture that developed in the 1900-1940's through the efforts of the U.S. National Park Service to create buildings that harmonized with nature. Terry discussed rustic architecture as a sometimes-literal bridge to the natural world, allowing visitors to be exposed to "the wild" without being fully immersed in it. Seidel shared examples in Ohio's national, state and local parks, forests and historical areas and shared how these structures continue to act as portals to experiencing natural areas.
The lecture was presented in partnership with The Nature Conservancy in Ohio. It took place at The Toledo Museum of Art.
