Cranbrook Academy of Art students receive more than $100,000 in awards
On the eve of its 2014 commencement ceremonies, Cranbrook Academy of Art celebrated another year of outstanding work by its faculty and graduate students at its annual Academy Awards Night on May 8.
Before a gathering of more than 200 students, families, friends and donors in deSalle auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum, the Academy conferred more than $100,000 in fellowships, grants, awards and scholarships, including nine distinguished awards for artistic excellence. The awards are designed to support study at the Academy and to aid 2014 graduates in the transition from student to practicing artist.
Kari Cholnoky, a 2014 graduate of the Painting Department, received the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Emerging Artist Award which recognizes artistic promise with a grant and accommodations to live and work in Berlin, Germany. Cholnoky was selected from among 10 finalists and will be offered a two-month stay in Berlin from July 1 to August 31, 2014. She will have the chance to participate in a personalized networking program with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services' Berlin partner, the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien, which includes introductions to members of the international art community.
The $10,000 Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship was awarded to Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen, a 2014 graduate of the Photography Department. This award was created by the philanthropist, art collector, author and curator, Toby Devan Lewis, who has been an avid supporter of young and emerging artists. She created the Toby Fund to give graduating fine arts students at more than 15 schools of art around the country unrestricted grants with which to begin their careers.
The Robert C. Larson Art, Design, and Architecture Venture Fund was awarded to current Academy students: Sheida Soleimani (Photography) to be used for a research trip to Venezuela; Jean Egger (2D Design) for typography workshops in the Netherlands; and Rosalind Tallmadge (Painting) for a summer class at Ox-Bow. The shared award of $5,000 recognizes and supports the work of innovative and inspired Academy first-year students. The endowment fund was established by Bonnie Larson to celebrate Robert C. Larson's commitment to Cranbrook. Larson was a long-time volunteer leader and donor at Cranbrook, and served as the Chair of the Board of Trustees from 1996-2002. He was also a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy and Art Museum from 1986-2000.
The Stewart Thomson Fellowship to the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts was presented to Henrik Soerensen, a current student in the Sculpture Department. Soerensen will attend a two-week workshop with Jason Pollen to work in fabric and paper at the Maine-based school.
The Gallery A Award was presented to David Uthus, a current student in the Photography Department. This award funds the creation and installation of work by a student in the entrance foyer of the Academy's administration offices for the upcoming academic year.
The 2014 Cranbrook Art Museum Purchase Award was presented to EunJi Choi, a 2014 graduate of the Metalsmithing Department. Choi's work was on display in the 2014 Graduate Degree Exhibition at Cranbrook Art Museum and was selected for purchase by the Museum Committee. Choi's work will be accessioned into the permanent collection of Cranbrook Art Museum.
The Cranbrook Educational Community President's Award was established last year by Cranbrook's President, Dominic DiMarco. It recognizes those artists engaged in environmental sustainability projects. The $1,000 award was given to Anthony Warnick in the Sculpture Department for his efforts to turn heat energy into human energy.
The Academy Director's Award of $1,000 was awarded to Daniel Greenburg (Print Media '14) for not only his extraordinary work at the Academy but also his fellowship and support of the student body. The Director's Award recognizes excellence throughout two years of study at the Academy.
The Chrissy Award is a new award this year, established by the father of graduate Victoria Shaheen (Ceramics '13). The award provides summer travel opportunities for a current Ceramics student. Christine Rebhuhn (Ceramics '15) will use the award to travel to the European Ceramic Workcentre in the Netherlands.
Also new this year is the Studio Council 555 Summer Residency Award, established by the Academy's student-run Studio Council to support a student for the summer as they create work in the 555 Nonprofit Gallery and Studios, housed in a former Detroit police precinct.
Twenty-eight students, who will continue their second year of study at the Academy in 2014-2015, were awarded Merit Scholarships in recognition of their talent and for meeting high standards during the past year. Merit Scholarships are supported by gifts and independent sponsors, including alumni, private philanthropists, corporations, company foundations and professional organizations.
Cranbrook Academy of Art also continues to remain a top-producer of Fulbright scholars, with graduating student Kelley O'Brien (3D Design '14) receiving an award this year for continued study in the Philippines.
Family members of Academy alumni and friends of Cranbrook continue their strong support of our institution with the creation of three new endowed scholarships in 2014, each of which will be awarded for the first time next year. The George Thomas Williams Scholarship has been established by Christopher and Dian Williams in memory of Christopher's son who was admitted to the Academy's Class of 2009. It will be awarded to a student in the Sculpture Department. The Jaymes B. Leahy CAA'90Scholarship has been established by Ann Leahy, Jaymes's mother, in his memory. Jaymes was a graduate of the Fiber Department. Finally, the children of Marvin and Betty Danto established the Marvin and Betty Danto Scholarship in honor of their parents, local art and design enthusiasts and collectors.
And finally, we are pleased to announce the presentation of our Distinguished Alumni Award to Academy graduate Ed Fella (Design '87). While he cannot be with us at our Commencement ceremony this year, we look forward to welcoming him for a series of events in the fall, at which time we will formally present him with his award.
Cranbrook Academy of Art is the country's top ranked, graduate-only program in architecture, design and fine art. Each year, just 75 students are invited to study and live on our landmark Saarinen-designed campus, which features private studios, state-of-the art workshops, a renowned Art Museum, and 300 acres of forests, lakes, and streams, all a short drive from the red-hot art, design, and music scene of Detroit. The focus at Cranbrook is on studio practice in one of 10 disciplines: Architecture, 2D and 3D Design, Ceramics, Fiber, Metalsmithing, Painting, Photography, Print Media, and Sculpture. The program is anchored by celebrated Artists- and Designers-in-Residence, one for each discipline, all of whom live and practice on campus alongside our students.

Billy Bush officially out at 'Today' following Donald Trump video
By KATE FELDMAN
Billy Bush is officially out at NBC. (STEVE MARCUS/REUTERS)
The first casualty of Donald Trump's lewd "grab them by the p---y" video is official as Billy Bush has been taken off the "Today" show.
"Billy Bush will be leaving the 'Today' show's 9 a.m. hour, effective today," Noah Oppenheim, NBC News senior vice president, said in a memo to staff. "While he was a new member of the 'Today' team, he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family. We wish him success as he goes forward."
Bush was negotiating a settlement with the network as recently as Friday following an indefinite suspension for his crude 2005 banter with the then-"Apprentice" host.
His settlement was expected to be $9 million, an industry source familiar with the talks told the Daily News.
"I am deeply grateful for the conversations I've had with my daughters, and for all of the support from family, friends and colleagues," Bush said in his own statement. "I look forward to what lies ahead."
The then-"Access Hollywood" host was heard on the tape encouraging Trump, then asking actress Arianne Zucker to hug the real estate mogul just moments after he talked about being able to "do anything" to women.
Bush was initially put on an indefinite suspension for his role in a leaked Donald Trump video from 2005. (The Washington Post)
L.A. litigator Marshall Grossman, who was hired by Bush in his negotiations with NBC, claimed that the TV anchor would have been fired if he had called Trump out for his crude comments.
"If Billy had been passive or responded 'Shut the f--k up to Trump,' Billy would have been out of a job the next day," Grossman told The Hollywood Reporter.
Melania Trump said Monday that her husband was "egged on" by Bush "to say dirty and bad stuff," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper.

Katy Perry's Roar Roars Up the Charts
Joe Taylor / September 7, 2013 Leave a Comment
Katy Perry's Roar roared up the charts to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 list, bumping Robin Thicke to the number two position. Roar is Perry's eighth song to hit number one. Will Roar and Perry's upcoming album, Prism, cause people looking back at the MTV VMAs next year to think of more than suggestive sexual acts done with foam fingers?
On October 22, her new album, Prism, will be out in the stores.
The beginning of Katy's video shows the pop songstress's airplane crashing in a jungle. Her boyfriend quickly becomes Tiger Chow, and Perry has to try to survive on her own.
She not only survives, she thrives. Who needs the modern conveniences of a shower, when the nearest elephant will be only too glad to give you a shower with his trunk?
Katy has on a leopard-spotted bikini top (did she kill the leopard herself?) and a skirt made from leaves.
Roar, after being number two on the charts, has bumped off the reigning champ, Blurred Lines. Robin Thicke's summer smash had been number one for twelve weeks.
In its first week alone, Roar sold over a half a million copies (557,000, to be exact). Week two was a bit slower, with Roar selling 392,000, but remaining at the number two position. Roarthis week had its best week yet, selling more than a million copies, an increase of 14 percent.
What other two songs by female singers have been downloaded over 400,000 times in two weeks?

What should I do to finally get it to work?

A: Your persistence-unit is - rather clearly - named as WebSISMSPUpgsql in your persistence.xml and not manago. Simply change Main.main into
public static void main(String[] args) {
 EntityManagerFactory emf = \
    Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("WebSISMSPUpgsql");
}

or change the unit's name in persistence.xml.

A: Add below provider into your persistence.xml and try
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

TwoFish Announces Micro-Transaction Engine for Games
A new gaming startup called TwoFish has announced a product called TwoFish Elements that it claims is the "first turnkey solution for powering a dynamic and realistic in-game economy."
CEO Lee Crawford, who has worked on gaming infrastructure for the likes of Yahoo, Sega, Heat.net, and Shockwave.com, says that TwoFish is addressing the biggest opportunity the gaming industry has ever seen: the rapid emergence of casual, mass-market games. While casual games are becoming increasingly popular, they also draw people who don't want to pay for games upfront. Publishers are therefore faced with the task of charging them for in-game virtual goods like swords, shields, cars and pets, as well as new levels and functionality.
TwoFish intends to step in and relieve publishers of the burden of developing the requisite micro-transaction systems in-house. TwoFish Elements is a server-side, open source platform based on Java, MySQL, and Linux that provides three layers of service. The first is an accounting and currency management system that takes care of a game's virtual currency and its relation to real currency. The second is a catalog of virtual items that can be bought within a particular game. And the third is an analytics tool that lets publishers track the goods being bought within their games.
Crawford says that TwoFish Elements can be integrated into a wide range of internet-accessible game types, from lightweight HTML or Flash games to 500mb downloadable titles. While TwoFish itself is not a game publisher, it has been working with one for the past year to produce a proof of concept game called Edge Racers, an MMO for car customization and racing. The company is now soliciting other publishing partners who want to use its engine.

Vietnamese and Asian growth charts, and their use for babies and children adopted from Vietnam..
Your physician will probably use the standard American charts to document your child's height, weight, and head circumfrance. They will plot your child's growth curve to determine if your child is accelerating in growth (a common phenomena among recently adopted children), matching the growth curve itself (even if at a lower percentile) or not making expected progress in growth in comparison with other children. Your child's progress will be compared to their starting point, even though it is reported as a percentile of the general population.
You may use these Vietnamese and SE Asian growth charts as supplements to the standard charts to get a better idea of how your child fits within the Asian and Vietnamese population. If you need more information, check the links below for growth charts of Chinese children.
Your child's medical circumstances, health history, early care and nutrition, genetic heritage, and even emotional experiences can impact their weight and growth. If your child does not make significant progress in growth over time, then you may wish to look into possible contributing factors (e.g., parasites or allergies and milk/food intolerance), and nutritional related issues (e.g., such as malnutrition or rickets). (See Comeunity's Adoption Health for more information.
If you and your physician cannot determine the cause, you may consider contacting a specialist in international or adoption medicine such as those listed on the International Adoption Medical Clinics page. You can find articles on growth and feeding issues on the Childrens Disabilities Information website.
Allison Martin, MPA is the owner of this Adopt Vietnam website. She is a biologist, website designer and writer, plus mother of three grown children.


Masuda, Funai, Eifert & Mitchell, Ltd.
The United States Supreme Court remains active during this fall's term in determining employers' rights and obligations when companies include an arbitration agreement in their employment or independent contractor agreements.
The United States Supreme Court ruled in Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis in May 2018 that class action waivers are enforceable in arbitration clauses which require employees to arbitrate disputes on an individual, rather than a class, basis. Fresh on the heels of this ruling, the Supreme Court this October heard arguments in three additional arbitration-related matters. This intense interest in arbitration-related cases at the Supreme Court level demonstrates the continuing importance of arbitration clauses to the public dialogue and the relationship between employers and employees. Moreover, given the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court with the confirmations of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, expect a divided Supreme Court to now move in the direction of enhancing employer's rights.
In the first case, New Prime, Inc. v. Olivera, the Court heard argument related to Section 1(a) of the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), which exempts certain classes of employees from the FAA's statutory scheme. The question before the Court is whether the FAA applies only to "contracts of employment" with employees or whether the FAA's statutory reach also encompasses independent contractors. In Olivera, the plaintiff worked for an interstate trucking company as an independent contractor. After the termination of his status as an independent contractor by his employer, the plaintiff filed various wage and other employment-related claims. The district court determined that Section 1(a) of the FAA does not extend to independent contractors, but the First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed. The Supreme Court will now take up the question, along with another procedural issue related to whether the federal courts or an arbitrator is the proper venue to decide whether a case should be arbitrated.
In the second case, Schein v. Archer & White Shales, Inc., the Court will determine the extent of a federal court's power. The question is whether an arbitrator or a federal court has the power to decide the arbitrator's jurisdiction, if the party requesting arbitration is making a groundless claim. An employer may want the federal court � and not the arbitrator � to determine that the claim is groundless and rule that the arbitrator does not have power to determine his or her own authority. The federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals both ruled that the federal court has the ultimate authority. The Supreme Court will weigh in on this question soon.
Finally, similar to the situation in Epic Systems, the Supreme Court considered another class action arbitration issue in Lamps Plus, Inc. v. Varela. The Supreme Court will decide whether the FAA prevents a court from interpreting state law authorizing class-action arbitration. Both the district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, applying California law, held that the employees were permitted to arbitrate on a class-wide basis, finding that general language in the arbitration agreement permits the class-wide arbitration. However, given the changed makeup of the Supreme Court, this case is a prime example of a situation in which the Supreme Court may reverse the lower courts in favor of further restricting employees' class-wide arbitration rights.
As employers wait for the Supreme Court to rule on these important employer/employee-related issues in the coming months, employers need to examine their arbitration agreements or determine whether they want to enter into arbitration agreements with their employees and independent contractors.

'Milestone' for British Steel
Chinese company Jingye set to purchase British Steel
Hajera Blagg, Monday, November 11th, 2019
Unite has cautiously welcomed news that the Chinese company Jingye is set to purchase British Steel.
Jingye has said it will invest about £1.2bn over the next decade and pledged to "preserve thousands of jobs in a key foundation industry for the UK".
British Steel has been receiving government support via the Official Receiver to continue operating since May, when the firm fell into compulsory liquidation, following the government refusing to grant its previous owner Greybull Capital a £30m emergency loan to keep the company afloat.
The company employs 5,000 workers directly, most of them in the Scunthorpe steelworks, with a further 20,000 workers in the supply chain.
The Official Receiver said today in a statement that completion of the contract was "conditional on a number of matters, including gaining the necessary regulatory approvals".
"The parties are working together to conclude a sale as soon as reasonably practicable," the statement read. "The business will continue to trade as normal during the period between exchange and completion. Support from employees, suppliers and customers since the liquidation has been a critical factor in achieving this outcome."
The latest news comes after British Steel was in talks over a sale with Ataer Holding, a subsidiary of the Turkish military pension scheme, but the sale fell through after what the Official Receiver said was "lack of support from the key stakeholders of the company and that the expected commercial efficiency could not be achieved".
Unite assistant general secretary Steve Turner said, "Unite welcomes news that it appears we are close to a deal being concluded that ends the anxiety felt by thousands of workers, their families and communities and finally brings desperately needed stability to a world class business.
He called it a "real milestone in the campaign to ensure the long term future of British Steel.
"Local trade union representatives have met with officials from Jingye and received positive assurances that the company is committed to the long-term future of British Steel and is prepared to commit significant investment," he added.
"A further meeting has been arranged in the near future when Jingye's detailed plans will be discussed."
"Similarly we continue to seek meetings with government to secure a firm commitment that it will now finally ensure that previous empty promises to act to defend the steel industry in respect of tariffs, energy prices and business rates in particular, are finally delivered and aren't simply a further example of opportunist electioneering."

I love Thanksgiving because it means an entire day of hanging out with family and friends and eating good food! This year, why not add a little crafting to the mix as well?! These adorable little turkeys are quick and easy to make, and they're such a cute way to express what you're thankful for! Plus, these paper turkeys can double as place cards if you're having a bunch of people over!
If you're looking for Thanksgiving crafts for kids, these paper turkeys are perfect! And I've provided a free printable template below so you can easily make your own!
Using a small hole punch, punch holes in each feather and the back of the turkey. If you don't have a hole punch, you can poke holes with a sharp pencil.
Stack the tail feathers behind the turkey body, lining up the holes. Push a small brad through the holes and open the brad at the back to secure. Fan out the tail feathers, and you have a cute paper turkey!
Set them on the table along with a pen or pencil so you and your family and friends can write down what you're thankful for this year!
If you want, these turkeys can double as Thanksgiving place cards! I made my own leaf-shaped Thanksgiving place cards this year, but if you don't have place cards, just write each person's name on the body of the turkey and set it on their place setting, along with a pen!

I'm not really a fan of BBCode in PHP Fusion.
It doesn't follow the same coding logic as the majority of the site, and IMHO, needs to be entirely overhauled or thrown out.
From what I can see, Bootstrap is not currently supported for BBCode within PHP Fusion 9. which makes it difficult to use Responsive div/class types within things like the forum and comments.
Are there any plans to bring Bootstrap functionality into BBCode Land?

Serving Families since 1985
The Family Support Network™ (FSN) was created in 1985 by a pediatrician, Dr. Michael Sharp, and a social worker, Dot Cansler at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) School of Medicine to help meet the needs of families with premature infants or children with, or at risk for, developmental disabilities, behavioral disorders, or chronic illness. With funding from the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities, the team developed two Parent-to-Parent programs and an outreach training program to involve medical students with families with children who have special needs.
Over time, additional Parent-to-Parent programs were established across North Carolina to serve all 100 counties. The Family Support Network™ of North Carolina became a statewide network comprised of community-based family support programs and the Family Support Network™ State Office at UNC. In 2008 the Family Support Network™ of North Carolina State Office relocated to UNC School of Social Work and expanded to become the Family Support Program. The Family Support Program (FSP) fosters innovation in systems, services, and supports so that families with children who have special needs lead the full lives that they envision. FSP services include Information and Referral, Education and Training, Model Program Development and Implementation, Consultation and Technical Assistance, Research and Program Evaluation, and Policy Development.
Currently, the Family Support Network™ of North Carolina is comprised of the FSN University Office* and 11 affiliated regional programs providing information and referral, parent-to-parent support, sibling workshops, support groups, and workshops and training for families and service providers statewide.

For a person trying to find a credit repair business strategy plan, a straightforward description may be "Ace Credit restoration provides credit restoration services to help you consumers attain good credit and so have an overabundance attractive financing options. The organization provides credit improvement on the fee-for-service model charging $800 to $2000 per client and reaches new business via relationships by credit-dependent professionals (real-estate, car dealers, etc.), financial professionals (tax, insurance, financal planners), consumer direct marketing (internet, radio, tv, postcards), and past-client referral cultivation.
Any business plan should then mention management, which identifies your experience. In case you have experience building a team, care about detail, and/or financial experience, this really is relevant and may be included.
When currently talking about the buyer, the consumer, you'll find there are approximately 70 to 80 million americans with bad credit, many millions who will need to finance a house or car or another purchase and will therefore be interested in purchasing credit restoration services. While some people do attempt credit repair independently, credit is now increasingly complex and important. Fewer people succeed or event attempt it, and like coping with plumbing or auto repairs, most are happy to pay a specialist to accomplish it right.
Next, you must include a specific marketing breakdown. We have found that at first, referral relationships make the perfect starting point for. By giving "credit repair seminars" or "lunch and learn" events to local real estate agents or car dealers, you may invariably position yourself being an expert, develop referral sources, and help them sell more homes or cars. Since your business grows, you should expand into mass media, online marketing to increase your visibility and scale increase operations.
Another section generally covers competition, which naturally varies by market. Currently, the finance repair clients are still open and largely driven on referrals sometimes of need, meaning people frequently get their credit restored in readiness to get a home or car, or after being declined for a lot of form of financing (i.e. credit cards at better terms compared to they have presently). Long run, the world wide web is a massive method to obtain business that still has substantial opportunity. One still largely untapped area needing someone to execute their credit improvement business plan is within the section of internet promotion (i.e. Facebook) and joint ventures with point-of-need media i.e. a referral relationship with leading real estate property websites, dealership websites, etc. who be determined by attractive financing.
Next, your plan should cover operations. You are able to operate a credit restoration home based business, or you can use workplace. One under-used idea is renting a desk inside a busy property office. This can provide more than just an experienced meeting place, nevertheless the proximity of agents who depend upon their clients having good financing will virtually guarantee some clients are sent to you. This could also help embed your credit repair business in to the local ecosystem of potential referring businesses like mortgage, insurance, and financial professionals. Most real estate property offices could be open to renting a desk or office within or nearby the facility. Another option for the credit score improvement business strategy is always to run a home-based credit restoration business, but use a set schedule at local property offices or car dealers to examine any new files and respond to questions the agents or dealers could have.
Financial projections and plans within your credit score improvement business strategy plan should address startup costs and revenue, and maybe even exit like sale of the company. Since there are systems that offer not just software, but complete turn-key systems (similar to a franchise) including training to allow you to the expert, unlimited paralegal support, annual conferences, marketing support, legal support, and much more you must investigate your alternatives.
Obviously success varies by talent, work, resources and skills with any organization opportunity. That said, we realize of affiliates who may have taken their credit improvement business strategy and executed with that plan, grossing over $100,000 per month. If you want the thought of being your own personal boss and earning a professional level income, we encourage you to definitely take look at your business strategy as exactly the starting point an an exilerating medical.

On June 10th, 1889, in New Orleans, Louisiana, a group of proud surviving soldiers of the Confederate States of America organized an association called the United Confederate Veterans. Its goals were to protect and defend the honor and dignity of the memory of the Confederate soldier. As the ranks of the aged veterans of the UCV began to thin with the passage of time, a group of the surviving Confederate officers met in Columbia, South Carolina on August 30th, 1938 to discuss their concerns that the unique contributions made by the Confederate leadership were not properly chronicled in our nation's history books. They felt a particular duty fell to them as members of the Officers Corp.
This first meeting of what they named the "Order of the Stars & Bars" was convened with a great deal of enthusiasm by seventeen former Confederate officers as well as an additional forty-seven male descendant of Confederate officers in attendance. These dedicated men were unanimous in voting to begin a new CSA veteran society that would hold annual meetings. The OSB was unique in that the organization was made up of veterans and their descendants with the understanding that as the original Confederate officers died that it was the sacred responsibility of their male offspring to continue to carry on the purposes of the Order.
Our first Commander-in-Chief was Captain Homer Atkinson, of Petersburg, Virginia, who served the Southern nation as the commanding officer of Company B of the 39th Mississippi Battalion. He served as the chief officer of the Order from the beginning until his death in 1945. In addition to commanding the new Order, Captain Atkinson served two terms as Commanderin-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans.
Other successful leaders assumed the role of commander including Gen. Robert E. Lee's grandson Dr. George Bolling Lee. In later years of the Order, eligibility qualifications were broadened to allow collateral male descendants of Confederate commissioned officers as well as of any elected or appointed member of the Executive Branch of the Confederate Government. This brought additional members and new vigorous leadership to the Brotherhood.
The name of the Order was changed to "The Military Order of the Stars & Bars" at the 39th General Convention held in Memphis, Tennessee in 1976. The first National Flag of the Confederate States of America, the Stars and Bars, was accepted as the official insignia of the Order and the commanding officer would be called the Commander General of the Military Order of the Star and Bars.
Today the fraternal Military Order of the Stars & Bars, a non-profit 501(c) 3, non-political educational, historical, patriotic, and heritage group continues its dedication to the preservation of Southern history and remains the only heritage organization actually founded by Confederate veterans. A wide range of programs have been added to reorganize outstanding contributions in the fields of history, fine arts and journalism. College scholarships and monetary awards are offered to emphasize the need for truth in Confederate history. Prestigious literary prizes are awarded to authors and publishing houses. Monuments are being erected to the CSA soldiers. Journalists who practice ethical and fair reporting of local and Southern history are recognized. An emphasis is placed on American Patriotism and the honoring of all American veterans.
The Order works with other like-minded heritage and patriotic groups such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Order of the Southern Cross, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Sons of the American Revolution to promote a truthful history of Confederate States as well as general American history. We partner with Washington and Lee University in the preservation and interpretation of Lee Chapel.
The Order also emphasizes family tradition and encourages our membership to preserve their family's Confederate history for posterity. To that end, each MOS&B membership application with its genealogical records becomes a permanent historical record and is kept on file at the National MOS&B Archives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. All MOS&B Headquarters files are all being digitized.
Members are leaders in the collecting of data, documents and relics that preserve the history and heritage of the Southland and the War Between the states, but also in the preserving of the history of America's Colonial, Revolutionary and Federal periods. The Order remains fervent in its Patriotism and support of the basic principles of the United States Constitution.
As in decades past, the Military Order of Stars and Bars continues to cultivate the ties of friendship and create Brothers united in their common purposes. The friendship and fellowship of individuals united in a shared heritage and history remains of prime importance to the membership. Meetings and annual National Reunions are times of education and learning, but also opportunities for the good times shared by the Compatriots of the Order.

 * ListView - A core component designed for efficient display of vertically
 * scrolling lists of changing data.  The minimal API is to create a
 * `ListView.DataSource`, populate it with a simple array of data blobs, and
 * instantiate a `ListView` component with that data source and a `renderRow`
 * callback which takes a blob from the data array and returns a renderable
 * component.
 *
 * Minimal example:
 *
 * ```
 * getInitialState: function() {
 *   var ds = new ListView.DataSource({rowHasChanged: (r1, r2) => r1 !== r2});
 *   return {
 *     dataSource: ds.cloneWithRows(['row 1', 'row 2']),

 *       dataSource={this.state.dataSource}
 *       renderRow={(rowData) => <Text>{rowData}</Text>}
 *     />
 *   );
 * },
 * ```
 *
 * ListView also supports more advanced features, including sections with sticky
 * section headers, header and footer support, callbacks on reaching the end of
 * the available data (`onEndReached`) and on the set of rows that are visible
 * in the device viewport change (`onChangeVisibleRows`), and several
 * performance optimizations.

 * There are a few performance operations designed to make ListView scroll

CAG Action Alert
Last Chance to Stop the Tax Scam
Citizen Action Group
Dec 18, 2017 View / Comment Online
Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington are calling their tax bill a Christmas gift to the middle-class.
The reality is that the bill will hand trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the richest 1% and wealthy corporations while triggering $25 billion in automatic cuts to Medicare next year, knocking 13 million people off their health care, and increasing taxes on millions of middle-class families.
Call your U.S. Representative and Senator Capito today and demand they reject a tax plan that hands trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich and powerful on the backs of working families, older Americans, and people with disabilities.
Senator Capito: 202-224-6472
Toll-Free Line to the House of Representatives: 877-795-7862
An article in the New York Times over the weekend laid out "The Winners and Losers in the Tax Bill." It's no surprise that President Trump and members of his family are among the winners who stand to benefit, along with big corporations and multi-millionaires, while individual taxpayers, the elderly, and low-income families will pay more in taxes and face losing their health care and access to other vital services.
We can't let members of Congress pass their terrible tax scam while they lie to the American people about the real-life consequences of this bill.
Suggested Call Script:
My name is _______. I live in TOWN, STATE and I'm a constituent of the Representative.
I want Representative [NAME] to OPPOSE the tax plan being voted on this week that delivers huge tax cuts to the richest 1% and wealthy corporations, paid for by increasing taxes on millions of middle-class Americans and by slashing Medicare, Medicaid and education. It's wrong to give special tax breaks to the wealthy and powerful at the expense of working families.
Please call today! Together, we're demanding a tax system and a health care system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
Yours for Action,
Team WV CAG
PS: Members of Congress have openly admitted that it's major donors, not tax payers, that are the driving force behind the tax bill. Why? When members of Congress get used to raising money from just a few people, they give those people enormous power. Click here to read "How Citizens United Changed Politics and Shaped the Tax Bill."
We're fighting for a democracy where everyone participates, every vote is counted, and everyone's voice is heard. Here are two actions you can take to help us in the fight to end secret money in West Virginia politics:
Cast your ballot for the 2018 Our Children, Our Future Platform here and support our joint proposal with Fayette Fair Share to establish the WV Anti-Corruption/Voter Empowerment Act. Voting ends today.
Our clean elections coalition has a unique opportunity to get additional funds to support our work! If we raise $5,000, we will get another $5,000. We're almost halfway and we need to raise the raise another $3,800 by December 31. Click here to make a year-end donation to WV Citizens for Clean Elections today to have your contribution matched and help us reach our goal.

A storm took thirty-six lives and destroyed the Tyler business district.*
The following copy is directly from a local newspaper the day after the storm.
"TORNADO KILLS 35, INJURIES OVER 100
Tyler, Minnesota, Torn to Pieces; Property Loss a Million
Brave Nurse Loses Her Life Attempting to Save Patient
TYLER, Minn., Aug. 22.—-Between thirty and thirty-five persons were killed and more than 100 were injured by the tornado which struck Tyler about 10 o'clock last night and tore the town to pieces in a twinkling. Twenty-seven bodies have been identified.
The tornado tore through the heart of the town, sparing only one building, a motion picture theatre, in which 200 persons were sheltered. The greatest loss of life was in a restaurant. Eighteen persons' were in the place when the brick walls collapsed. Sixteen were killed, and the other two were seriously injured.
Persons engaged in rescue work said that 125 injured victims was a conservative estimate. In addition to the business places, forty residences, the hospital, electric light plant and other buildings were destroyed. The storm raged until 11:25 P.M. and dozens of victims were pinned under debris for two or three hours, before rescued.
The tornado roared into the city from the east. Roofs were ripped from stores and houses, crashing glass whistled through the streets and falling walls re-echoed to thunder crashes before many residents realized what happened.
Destruction of the electric plant with the first shock of the storm plunged the city into darkness. It was not until early this morning that citizens were able to notify adjoining towns of the devastation.
Three of five patients in the Tyler hospital were killed when the building was destroyed. Miss Rose Nelson, head nurse, made an effort to save one of the patients and lost her life. There were eight persons in the building; only two escaped injury.
Home guardsmen from Pipestone arrived here this morning and assisted in the rescue work. Many of the injured were removed to hospitals in neighboring cities. Physicians said they feared a number of the victims would not survive.
Reports that the tornado destroyed the Northwestern Station and a passenger train later proved untrue. The storm, however, wrecked the roundhouse nearby.
It was estimated the property loss would be one million dollars at least.
Tyler is a town of 1100 inhabitants in the southwestern part of Minnesota.
Governor Sends Aid"**
This story reminds me of the era of the prophet Nahum, and the kindness and sternness of G-d in the captivity of the Northern Kingdom of Israel ca. (722-721BC) Those that oppose His people in separation and tyranny will ultimately fall. He alone is Sovereign.
"The Lord is a jealous and avenging G-d; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power;the Lord will not leave the guilt unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet." Nahum 1:2-3
Lord, we may fail to see Your purposes in such a devastating storm, but we acknowledge that You alone are Sovereign and Just. Will You forgive those of our State who judged You for this tornado? Will You forgive our present imbalanced judgements of You? We think of You as loving and miss Your justice, or we think of You as just and miss Your kindness. May we turn to You first in times of great natural disaster. May we trust that You are for us, and not against us. Amen.
