The Strange, Sad Case of George B. Love
American Civil War / By Susan
On April 21, 1865, as part of its coverage of President Lincoln's assassination and its aftermath, the Washington Evening Star reported the arrival of the captured George Atzerodt in Washington. In addition, the Star noted that a man had been detained for questioning at Fort Thayer after repeatedly trying to break through the picket lines surrounding Washington. The man, however, would never be questioned. Instead, he took a penknife and slit his jugular vein.
The "mysterious suicide," the Star concluded, must have been involved in the assassination plot. Such a supposition was not entirely unreasonable; after all, Ella Starr, John Wilkes Booth's mistress, had attempted to kill herself days before, and Lewis Powell reportedly made a suicide attempt days later.
The next day, the Star reported the identity of the mysterious suicide: George B. Love, a hospital steward who had been dismissed from his post. Backing away somewhat from its original claim, the Star conceded that "mortification at his disgraceful position may have had something to do with his suicide." Picked up by other newspapers, the story circulated around the country for a few days before fading into obscurity.
But the Star was not entirely mistaken. Whatever the cause of his tragic death, Love did have a connection to the assassination plot's leading man, John Wilkes Booth.
George B. Love was born to James and Ann Love in Harford County, Maryland, on September 2, 1837. In 1850, he lived in Bel Air with his parents and four sisters; his father was a shoemaker.[i] Not far from Bel Air, of course, was Tudor Hall, the home of the Booth family, and two of the Booth boys—Joseph and John—attended Bel Air Academy. A classmate, George Y. Maynadier, recalled in 1902 that George B. Love attended the school as well. Barely disguising the former pupil's identity as "G__ L__," Maynadier stated:
At the time when John Wilkes and Joseph A Booth were pupils at the Academy, there lived in Bel Air a family by the name of L___ (I do not for obvious reasons mention the name.) The eldest son, almost the age of John Wilkes Booth, was also a pupil at the Academy and intimate with the latter. He was likewise the most notorious of all the boys and young men at school or in the village, as the ringleader of everything desperate and reckless. In those days I was afraid of him, as all the smaller boys were, who often "tasted his specialty" in the shape of a cuff on the head or a punch in the ribs and so forth–consequently, it may be that he was not so desperate and bad as I thought him to be, but simply reckless and thoughtless of consequences.[ii]
Sometime after 1850, the Loves moved to Baltimore, where George's parents would spend the rest of their lives. George's sisters married men in maritime trades, while George became a druggist. (It would have been gratifying to report that he was a classmate of David Herold, a Georgetown College pharmacy student, but Georgetown records show no signs of George Love's having studied at the institution.) On June 12, 1860, George married seventeen-year-old Caroline Jennings Starr in Baltimore's Wesley Chapel.[iii] Carrie, as she was called, was the daughter of John Taylor Starr and the former Caroline Smith. John Taylor Starr appears to have been somewhat disreputable, at least in his youth; in January 1841, a chivalrous Baltimorean seized him after he insulted several young ladies in the street. After spending a week in jail, the penitent Starr, who was said to have been intoxicated at the time, was fined twenty dollars.[iv] By August 1848, he had separated from his wife, who took her three children, Carrie, Catherine, and Henry, and moved in with her mother.[v]
On July 31, 1862, George, giving his address as 327 E. Monument Street in Baltimore, wrote to Brig. General William H. Hammond, Surgeon General of the United States, requesting an appointment as a hospital steward. Roberts Bartholomew, assistant surgeon, noted that the young man came highly recommended and advised his appointment, which was duly made on August 8, 1862.[vi] George was assigned to Camp Parole in Annapolis, a way station for Union soldiers who had been released from Confederate prisons. It was not a place for the faint-hearted. The former prisoners arrived in deplorable condition, suffering from starvation and disease, while the surrounding town was filled with rough characters and shady establishments.[vii] Among those who passed through the camp was one Boston Corbett, who spent a few days there in January 1865 before being returned to his regiment. Corbett would turn up at Garrett's farm in Virginia on April 26, 1865, with fatal consequences for Booth.[viii]
George's career proved to be a checkered one. In December 1863, he was court-martialed on charges of absence without leave, neglect of duty, and disobedience of order, all connected with an incident where he had left the camp on the evening of Saturday, September 19, 1863, and not returned until the morning of September 23, 1863, having apparently spent the time in Annapolis. In a rather convoluted statement provided to the court, George claimed that he had been ill with a fever during the time in question and that he had previously asked permission to leave camp, apparently to be with "my family only 2 miles distant who I have to protect & provide for." He asked the court to "consider that all I have in the world is my character which has always been above reproach." George, who had been employed in the camp dispensary, was found guilty on all specifications and was sentenced to forfeiture of one month's pay and a reprimand.[ix]
In 1865, George found himself facing a second court-martial, this time on charges of "conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline" and "breach of arrest." The first specification claimed that on December 15, 1864, George demanded that the camp sutler, Jones and Crowley, pay him a percentage of his purchases of articles for the hospital. George was accused of having said, "I can starve the patients or overfeed them as I think proper, and I can make up to you in a month or even a week what you would give me. I have been accustomed to receive a percentage from those of whom I purchased articles for the hospital." The sutler's witnesses testified that George, explaining that his $400 salary was hardly enough to live on, had stated that his commission was usually five percent, but he would ask the sutler only for two and a half percent on its sales of such commodities as butter, eggs, crackers, oysters, mackerel, and milk.
The other three specifications claimed that on February 13, 15, and 16, 1865, George, having been placed under arrest, had stolen off to the city of Annapolis. There, testimony revealed, he had had the ill luck of being spotted by Colonel Adrian Root, the camp commander. As described by witnesses, his trips to town were hardly riotous; an ambulance driver testified that he had driven George to a store there on several occasions, then driven him back to camp.
Through his Baltimore lawyer, George mounted a vigorous defense. To the sutler's testimony that he had asked for a percentage and that George had stopped dealing with the sutler after his request was refused, he offered evidence that the sutler had furnished inferior goods and that after complaints, George had begun buying supplies from a grocer in Annapolis, whom he had not asked for a percentage. To the charges of escape, he presented testimony from Steward Edward Von Myck, who had also testified for the government, that Von Myck, unfamiliar with Annapolis, had entreated George to accompany him there on several occasions prior to the ones for which he was charged. Von Myck testified that on their first excursion, George had gone inside Adams Express to ship a dead soldier's goods; on the second, he had helped Von Myck transport a corpse; and on the third, he had shown Von Myck the grocer's establishment with which the hospital was to deal.
Despite his lawyer's efforts, George was found guilty of all charges. This time, on April 5, 1865, he was sentenced to be dishonorably discharged and to forfeit all pay that was due him.[x] In addition, a notice of the conviction and sentence was to be inserted in his county of residence. The Baltimore Sun carried the notice on April 11.
After his discharge, George arranged with Adams Express on April 13 to send his trunk to John Taylor Starr, his father-in-law, in Baltimore; on April 18, he wrote a curt note, dated from Annapolis, requesting that Steward Von Myck send his valise to 257 N. Eden Street in Baltimore, the residence of John Taylor Starr.[xi] That same day, he left Annapolis. On April 19, clad in a new officer's fatigue coat, gray pantaloons and vest, new underclothing "in double," and fine calf boots, he made his attempt to break through the picket lines that ended in his arrest and suicide. His personal effects consisted of $320, his ill-used penknife, two Army discharges with conflicting information, a watch and chain, and a receipt from H. Stockbridge of Baltimore for legal services. Five feet ten, with light, curly hair and beard, small feet, and delicate hands, he was said, correctly, to have been an educated man.[xii]
What drove George to take his life remains a mystery. The most logical assumption is that despondent over his court-martial and the prospect of returning to his family in disgrace, he snapped. Still, other questions come to mind. Had the assassination of President Lincoln filled him with despair? Did he panic upon being detained, fearful that his connection with Booth would be discovered and implicate him in the assassination plot? Did he indeed possess some knowledge of the kidnapping or assassination conspiracy? After all, Booth had drawn two other school friends, Samuel Arnold and Michael O'Laughlen, into his web; it is possible that he tried to lure another. And why was George trying to break through the picket lines in the first place? Might he have been trying to commit "suicide by picket"? None of these questions are answerable, and it is possible, of course, that George's death was caused by factors unknown to us. Maynadier, recalling the story in 1902, had no insight to offer, but simply commented that it was a "curious coincidence" that Love, as an old friend of Booth, should have acted as he did. "'I tell the tale as 'twas told to me,' is all the comment I have to make" was his coy conclusion.
In the end, though, the simplest explanation is probably the best. Not a year and a half before, George had written, "all I have in the world is my character"; now it must have seemed to the young man that he had lost everything.
But despite having left Camp Parole under a shadow, George was not without defenders there. After the Baltimore American mentioned George's death and the suspicions surrounding him, D. R. Keigwin, a clerk at Camp Parole Hospital, wrote a letter to the editor:
In the American of this morning is a notice of the arrest and subsequent suicide of George B. Love; and the impression is conveyed that he was in some way concerned in the murder of our beloved President, or in the attempted murder of Secretary Seward.
Such was by no means the case, as he was in this hospital until Tuesday, April 18, as scores can testify, and he deplored the horrible tragedy, and could scarce find words to express his detestation of the horrid crime. He has been a hospital steward here for nearly three years, is a native of your city, and was greatly respected by the many who have known him here, and who read with sad hearts the news of his terrible, unexpected death.
May God in his mercy be near the wife and parents left to mourn his loss, and sustain them in this terrible bereavement.[xiii]
The coincidence of Love's in-laws and Booth's mistress sharing the same surname—Starr—was not lost on another George, Lieutenant George P. Richardson, who on April 26 sent Colonel Olcott a newspaper clipping about Ella Starr's suicide attempt along with the papers found on Love.[xiv] The authorities do not seem to have found a connection between the various Starrs, however, and neither have I, although all hailed from Baltimore.
On April 25, George's funeral was held at his father-in-law's house at the North Eden Street address mentioned above. The notice of his death contained a poignant verse:
This languishing head is at rest,
Its thinking and aching are o'er;
His quiet, immovable breast,
Is heaved by affliction no more.
George was buried at Baltimore Cemetery. Located at the terminus of North Avenue, it is a few blocks from its much better-known neighbor, Green Mount Cemetery, to which the body of George's school chum John Wilkes Booth would be moved in 1869. While Baltimore Cemetery contains a few elaborate memorials, it is by and large the preserve of those nineteenth-century Baltimoreans who labored with their hands.[xv] Still, its imposing, Gothic gate and upward slopes make the approach to the cemetery an impressive one, particularly now that its surrounding neighborhood is dingy and decayed.
Ann Love, George's mother, died in July 1882 at the home of one of George's sisters. James Love, who had spent the Civil War years in Baltimore's police force, was employed in the House of Refuge, a home for delinquent boys, for many years before his death in 1899 at age eighty-eight. One wonders if his son's troubled history influenced his later career.[xvi]
After her husband's death, Carrie, George's widow, supported herself by working as a "tailoress," along with her sister Kate. Around 1871, she married Robert A. Clarke, a widowed grocer with five children. A fervent Democrat who was active in local politics, Robert, who died in January 1914, was so determined to vote despite his illness toward the end of his long life that he had two friends carry him to the polls. Henry Starr, Carrie's brother, served as one of Robert's pallbearers. Carrie and Robert had one son, George R. Clarke, who worked as a clerk before his death at age twenty-nine in December 1900.[xvii] As Robert already had a son named George W. Clarke from his first marriage, it seems likely that Carrie named her son in honor of her first husband.
On August 5, 1914, Carrie died at age seventy-three. The years had left her comfortably off: she had two houses, furniture, jewelry, and cash to distribute among her friends and relations.[xviii] In Baltimore Cemetery, she and her husband Robert share a well-preserved tombstone, next to the weathered, barely legible marker of their son. Adjacent to George R. Clarke's grave sits a third tombstone, which appears to have been erected about the same time as Robert and Carrie's and likewise is in excellent repair. Inscribed "Asleep in Jesus," it marks the grave of George B. Love, resting eternally near the bride of his happier days.

It is official now, Sandisk owns Fusion IO completely putting the company in the forefront of enterprise flash. This may seem like a pretty minor event but it has some large long-term implications.
The headline is obvious, Sandisk bought Fusion IO for about $1.1 billion, give or take a few tens of millions between friends. This move takes Sandisk from a bit player in the enterprise SSD/Flash storage market to rough technological parity with the leaders. Where they previously had discrete components like SATA and SAS based enterprise SSDs, they can now run with those offering complete PCIe/NVMe solutions.
Sandisk has purchased other enterprise SSD companies and those parts are said to be moving towards market rather nicely. What they lack however is a ready market and datacenter 'street cred', something that can be more valuable than the rather precious pricing levels on the Fusion IO products. They also purchased a wealth of knowledge for this nascent market, something that is possibly more valuable than any single piece of silicon recently acquired.

theMCGuiRE review takes a look at Siege Storm a brand new (super new) TCG out of Awaken Realms and designed by Marcin Swierkot. A very cool new take on a traditional card game. There are tons of TCG's out there and this adds to a market that is already saturated. Thing is....its different in many ways and feels like a completely different experience than your standard run of the mill TCG's. Its not just the fantastic artwork but the game play mechanics and layout of the cards really feel like much more than your standard card game. Excellent design and very fun, versatile, and quick experience! Well done Marcin!
theMCGuiRE review takes a look at Rambo The Board Game a brand new one from Everything EPIC, which is currently in kickstarter (upon uploading this video) and the link is below! Here you will find a very nice and fun easy tactical miniatures war game. Simple mechanics and combat keep this title a really good gateway for anyone and the missions are based on the movies. I find the game has excellent theme and you really feel as though you are on a mission in the jungle to bring justice! This is not one to miss and is a very fun mission by mission based game!
Explaining the entire concept of the game involves a brief description of each of the five sides in play. In general, various creatures and/or heroes find themselves at odds inside a cave littered with crystals and treasures. Each side has a separate goal depending on which other sides are also in play. The general game structure is one of continuous rounds until one side fulfills their win condition.
Apart from the cosmetic changes in all new illustrations, a slightly redesigned board, revamped components and custom dice, this new edition from Z-Man Games plays exactly the same as the original. However, it also includes all five of the modules from the separate expansion To Forge a Realm (identical rules, as well), plus a couple of additional ones. These may be mixed and matched or thrown in all together as your heart desires – or the Queen demands.
Not to be confused with the action-packed disc-shooting game from the 1970's (and yes there's a new version in stores), or that other card game about futuristic agents and operatives, this Crossfire is a hidden role game set in the Specter Ops universe about agents and assassins and protecting a VIP.
Roles are dealt at the start of a round, but it's not a straightforward deal. First everyone is given a role card (and a chance to look at it). Then everyone pass that card to the left and looks at their new role. Next, every 3rd player shuffles their role cards with their neighbors' on either side, and deals them back out again – and finally, everyone has their final role.
Through the Desert is a network-building game for two to five players. Players are nomadic caravan leaders trying to connect their caravans to the most valuable desert territory (namely, oases and watering holes). The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Bad Squiddo Games have released the first three packs of what promises to be an expanding range of Onna-bugeisha miniatures for Feudal Japan.

Measure J Library Tax Tops June Ballot for Orinda Residents
According to Ballotpedia, the online encyclopedia of American politics and elections, voters in California decide local ballot measures on as many as a dozen different election dates. In even-numbered years, voters decide hundreds of measures; the number of local measures has ranged from about 530 to more than 800 in the last three two-year cycles. In odd-numbered years, local voters generally decide between 100 to 200 measures.
Fortunately, Orindans have far fewer ballot measures to contemplate June 5. Tops among local concerns is Measure J. This library parcel tax increase measure will add $30 annually to the existing parcel tax. Passed in 2008, the existing tax maintains the Orinda Library's present 60 hours per week and pays for repairs and maintenance. Increased costs over the years, however, have made the current funding inadequate to continue those hours.
The Friends of Orinda Library point out the 2008 tax, without a sunset limit but also without a cost escalator, "funded 42 percent of the library's open hours for 10 years." Measure J, also without a sunset limit or cost escalator, is projected to fund the same level of service until 2024.
"If Measure J doesn't pass, the county library staff would recommend cutting back to 35 hours a week," says Friends of the Orinda Library Treasurer Linda Landau.
For more information on Measure J, go to https://cityoforinda.org/384/MEASURE-J—Library-Services-Parcel-Tax.
Also of interest to Orindans, especially those commuting to San Francisco, is Measure RM3. The Bay Area Traffic Relief Plan asks for a $1 toll increase on local bridges (except the Golden Gate Bridge) effective in 2019 with additional $1 increases in 2022 and 2025.
Possibly increasing traffic closer to home is Measure L. A yes vote on this measure on the Lafayette ballot would allow 44 units of residential housing and a park facility, known as The Homes at Deer Hill, to be built on a steep hillside along Highway 24.
Also, on the local front, a tenacious Moraga resident is running a write-in campaign for the United States Senate. Ursula Schilling hopes to challenge Senator Dianne Feinstein for her senate seat. The energized 70-year-old is a native of Germany who moved to Australia at age four and immigrated to the United States when she was nine. She became a U.S. Citizen in 1962 while attending Acalanes High School.
Her many careers include: high school chemistry, science and music teacher; realtor; lawyer; stockbroker for Merrill Lynch; sales rep for Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical and book author. "I learned so much at Merrill Lynch that helped me formulate one of my main goals: fixing the infrastructure nationwide. We have lots of things in California that are first class, but our infrastructure isn't one of them," Schilling notes.
As a former teacher, Schilling also hopes to work on offering extracurricular arts, music and sports programs in every public school. "It helps develop social skills, teamwork, lifelong friendships while also improving grades and test scores. It's the best way to help our youth prepare for the future," she says.
When Schilling missed the April 11 deadline to get her name on the ballot (she was recuperating from a hip replacement), she decided to run a "zero money" write-in campaign.

I've got a number of ccTLD domains I intend to use for my business as the oppurtunity for international expansion presents itself.
As per above, the Subfolder appears to be the approach that is well suited to my situation, however, what to do about the ccTLD's?

Presenting the principles of clear writing with memorable illustrations and anecdotes that help you put those principles
to work right away.
About Gary Gilson
Why Clear Writing Is Essential
By Gary Gilson
Graduation season always reminds me of a conversation a professor friend of mine had with a student about to receive his diploma and look for his first job.
The professor said, "You're a bright guy, Jim, but you really need to improve your writing. And quickly."
"I don't need to worry about writing," Jim said. "I'm going into public relations."
"And what do you think you will be doing in public relations?"
Jim had a quick answer: "I'll be relating . . . to the public."
"No, you won't. You'll be grinding out press releases, and if you don't write them well you'll be out on your behind before you know it."
A bank executive told me he spends so much time correcting writing errors by his staff that it keeps him from doing crucial things his job requires.
Some of the best advice I ever heard on writing well came from Marcus Quintilianus, a Roman who lived from 35 A.D. to 100 A.D.:
"We should write, not so that it is possible to understand us, but so that it is impossible to misunderstand us."
A lofty standard, and an indispensable one.
That's what clear communication is all about. Precision and simplicity lead to clarity. If we do not write clearly, our reader may misunderstand us and take action that undermines our enterprise.
A college teacher of mine advised me to read everything by a writer whose work I loved, to get inside that writer's head. I chose Joseph Conrad, one of the greatest writers in the English language, even though Polish was his native tongue. Besides that, Conrad, for many years a merchant seaman, gave up shipboard life and became a writer only in his late thirties.
Of all the great advice that superb writers have offered, Conrad's credo, to me, stands tallest:
"My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel — it is, before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything."
Almost 2000 years passed between Quintilianus and Conrad, and if you hew to fundamental standards of simplicity and clarity, nothing has changed.
Being a brilliant thinker – William F. Buckley, Jr., for example – is no guarantee of producing simple, clear writing. Buckley populated his essays with words like these – eleemosynary, epicene, periphrastic – that readers had to look up. That interrupted the flow for them, and many would abandon his essay and miss out on his provocative thinking.
About Ernest Hemingway's writing, William Faulkner said this:
"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary."
In a previous column I cited what I consider the worst sentence ever:
"Refreshments were served, and a good time was had by all."
Here's my choice for the best: the last line below, in the song "Say It Simple":
"Say it simple, so I can understand, use all the easy words at your command. Don't tell lies, I never cared for fiction, talk real clear, don't want no friction with your diction."
Ain't language fun?

We have all heard the saying in any form of marketing that "Content is King" it is never more true in the pursuit of building great on-line profiles. You can have the best looking website, great branding, all the social media profiles you want, however if you post images of your dog playing with a stick or even worse "selfies" nobody of any value to your business is going to follow you or interact with you or your business.
Content refers to two parts of your on-line posts. The written content & the images that accompany your written words. Every social media profile we are going to use relies on images being the core focus of your daily posts.
Even Twitter is rapidly moving from the standard 140 SMS style tweet to including an image being visible in each tweet. The latest research shows tweets with images are 3 to 4 times more likely to be retweeted than tweets with just a link.
It is now imperative that all of your pages on your website include quality images, as well as any blog posts you create. Images improve the readability of your written words & ensure anybody sharing your content on Social Media are sharing your images by default & improving the reach of your posts. Hopefully you have social media share buttons on your web pages & blog posts, to make it as easy as possible for people to share your content. These share buttons will automatically include your image if you have one somewhere within the article being shared.
There are plenty of free or cheap programs you can get that will assist you to create great images, infograhics & videos to go with your posts. If you find this part of your marketing challenging consider using services like Fiverr or Elance to connect with people skilled at this art. You will be surprised how cheaply you can get this work done for you & how fast they work.
Whether you produce your own images or outsource to these services, make including good quality images part of your content strategy as quickly as you can.
Whether you are creating a blog post that you intend to spread via your social media profiles or a heading for your Pinterest pins or Google Plus posts, good content is essential.

Southern Sudan was part of the Sudan country from which it seceded itself in the year 2011 with the help of United States. It is a country that is rich in mineral like oil, and it has a fertile land that can support farming to help its large population. This paper will be investigating the humanitarian intervention in South Sudan.
Towards the end of the year 2013, there has been a brutal civil war between the ruling leaders that is President Salva Kiir who is from Dinka ethnic group and also Riek Machar from the Nuer group. They are have made the current government to be dysfunctional and have made the country to move towards genocide kind of just like their neighbour Rwanda. Negotiations between the two leaders to stop fighting over each other has not yet born fruits. The two leaders started fighting when Machar was fired from the government by Kiir because he was kind of wanted to overthrow the government. And since then a lot of civil war has been in the country. Around 2 million people out of 11.6 million of the people in the country have fled from their homes. This has disrupted the agricultural production in the country as well as the accessibility of the people to the local market is a problem. Food shortage has increased at rate and health needs has been scarce. The economic growth and rate of the development in the country are at very low rate despite the fact that the country is rich in oil.
The United Nations has been sending its troops to South Sudan to protect the life of the civilian from the mass killing. Their effort has not yet helped the country to get out of the crisis that it is in. This has contributed the other countries like the United States of America to get in. The doctrine of the responsibility that usually for dealing with the cases of crime against humanity or genocides has been put forward has not born fruits. Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has is one of the diplomat actors that has to threaten the Southern Sudanese political parties to enforce sanctions on them for not abiding with the terms of keeping the peace. But has never put sanctions on them and that is why they are continuing with the civil war. The dry season of the country together with the civil war is leading to the killing of thousands of people. This fighting seems to continue, and hence it will subject the civilians to violence and even genocide. This is predictions also states that the drought and loss of agricultural workforce will lower food supply in South Sudan.
The cause of the conflict in southern Sudan is political and ethnic conflict, general underdevelopment as well as the struggle for the resources. The main cause of the humanitarian crisis in southern Sudan was the political-military conflict that arose between Kiir and Machar after having a lot of rivalries. Kiir has tried to uphold his power, but Machar weakened the southern Sudan government. The rebel leader Machar had called for reforms, and this loosens the Kiir's power. This political conflict has led to exploitation of ethnic affiliations. General underdevelopment due to southern Sudan being unable to control its resources together with foreign aids since it is a new country. It was unable to manage its resources to bring development. The two main resources in southern Sudan had fuelled to civil war; oil and agriculture. Each party was fighting to get its resources which fuelled the war.
The state at which south Sudan is forcing United States to face a significant pressure of acting. Various interventions are trying to be put in place to affect the political dynamics that in line with the humanitarian crisis. They include the following; use of the o direct military intervention. The U.S government by doing will be able to save its troops together with its aid workers from being harmed by the civilians who are fighting. U.S also needs to provide intervention so that it can provide humanitarian aid in the neighbouring countries. Since thousands of the southern Sudanese refugees have moved to the border countries, such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda. If U.S isin the position of adding some more aid to them, they will be able to accommodate the refugees in a better way after adding what comes from the UN. The United Statesneeds to intervene in South Sudan by itself. Ifit does this, it will be able to assist the civilians who have been displaced by giving them food and shelter. They will do this by use of helicopters to reach the no gone zones due to poor roads.
It is important to note that the United States needs to use humanitarian with peace enforcement; this is the most ambitious option to bring a lot of peace. The aim of this will be to look into the cause of the human tragedy, the conflict that is existing and the alleviating human suffering. This will be accompanied by coming up with aid for the citizens and then set up delivering stations. To bring peace in South Sudan, U.S needs to separate the two warring parties. In case one party breaches the agreements then U.S will be forced to open fire so that it cans p-prevent further conflict. By doing this U.S will cool the war in the south Sudan.

Stunning incorporation of glass into a residential design makes the Jodlowa House a contemporary inhabitable work of art. Architects from award winning practice PCKO collaborated withMOFO Architects from Poland to create a fully glazed steel frame structure, in the outskirts of Krakow, Poland. The residence features a large, 140 sqm living area, two main bedrooms and a 5 storey viewing tower with panoramic views of the Tatra Mountains. The tower also features additional guest rooms and an office space. A covered swimming pool lengthens the dreamy comfort of the home, offering relaxation and vitality. An inside deck, fully glazed, invites guests to dinner, while another deck, accentuated by chaise-longues and a blue open sky, invite the family to take a moment and relax after a hard day's work. Owning such an open house, that only protects private spaces, must evoke an exceptional feeling. In tune with nature, the inhabitants have the rare opportunity of living each season as if they were right in the middle of nature.

EAST LANSING — Michigan State's three losses to Central Michigan's football program still linger, no matter how many years have passed. It's the details that stick most.
Tico Duckett remembers hearing his Heisman Trophy hopes being mocked by ESPN's Chris Berman.
Teammate Alan Haller vividly recalls the Chippewas' exuberant sideline before the game.
Keith Nichol can still see a late onside kick going over Blair White's head.
CMU's Gary Rakan remembers getting back to Mount Pleasant with his teammates and then jumping in a car to drive right back to East Lansing to celebrate.
For some, it's been more than two decades. For others, just six years. CMU's three wins over MSU at Spartan Stadium — in 1991, '92 and 2009 — are unforgettable to those who lived either side of the experience. And they're lessons in humility and preparedness to future MSU teams.
Those three upsets have shaped a football rivalry that's unlike any other Big Ten and Mid-American Conference relationship in this state. They are the only wins by CMU, Western Michigan or Eastern Michigan against MSU or Michigan in the last 95 years.
"We just had that feeling, when you look around and you know stuff is bad, like really bad," Nichol said of the moments after the Spartans' 29-27 loss in 2009.
Nichol didn't recall if he ever faced CMU again. He did, as a senior in 2011, when MSU won 45-7. That's not how this rivalry works. There's only one way these games are remembered.
But at least by the time Nichol and Co. were beaten by the Chippewas such upsets were more common, the gap between mid-majors and high-majors reduced by scholarship limitations and expanded television visibility.
On Sept. 14, 1991, MSU losing its season opener 20-3 to CMU — in the first meeting ever between the programs — was almost unfathomable. Less so in 1992, when the Chippewas won 24-20.
"The (1991) team really took Central lightly," said Duckett, who starred as a sophomore running back on MSU's co-Big Ten championship team a year earlier. "We kind of looked at it as a scrimmage, preparing us for our next game. And I think along with that, it was a perfect storm, because they were actually pretty good.
Duckett rushed for more than 1,000 yards during both the 1991 and '92 seasons, but was never again the star he was in 1990 — in large part because MSU finished 3-8 and 5-6, respectively, losing seasons spurred by losses to the Chippewas.
In hindsight, the first result shouldn't have been stunning. Six Spartans were selected in the NFL Draft the previous spring, part of departing class that began their careers with a Rose Bowl and finished with another Big Ten title.
And ripe to be had by the defending MAC champs playing with a chip on their shoulder so large even Mark Dantonio wouldn't know what to do with it.
Rakan, who is the husband of MSU women's basketball coach Suzy Merchant, remembers the first hit from that 1991 game. He remembers his thoughts as he landed on his backside, and soon realizing his team could play with MSU.
That dynamic changed between the early 90s and the mid-2000s. These days, an upset is more likely to occur because the game becomes a track meet and the mid-major has the athletes to run — as CMU did in 2009 with NFL star Antonio Brown.
There were, however, common themes between the games, decades apart. Most notably, the Spartans were undecided on a quarterback in both 1991 and 2009 — Bret Johnson and Miller and then Kirk Cousins and Nichol.
Too late. The relationship between the programs had already changed forever.

A: I removed frame1 and put Canvas in root , and use canvas.pack() to see canvas in window.
(but I could use self instead of root and use self.pack() because Space inherits from Frame. it would ne more logical)

I used variables CENTER_X, CENTER_Y to put text in center regardless of the size of the screen.

MTN to Extend Springboks Sponsorship
MTN has confirmed that it intends to renew its headline sponsorship of the World Cup-winning Springboks.
Several media sources are reporting that renewal talks between the brand and the South African Rugby Union had already begun before the World Cup in Japan.
"We had already decided that we would be seeking to renew, whether the Boks had won, or not," Jacqui O'Sullivan, Corporate Affairs Executive at MTN, told the City Press. "The reason being that we have seen how this sponsorship, from a national perspective and from an internal perspective, has absolutely brought people together. Even if we had not won it still would have been an amazing investment, because our people are learning from what they are seeing, from people like Rassie Erasmus who are world-class leaders, not just world-class coaches."
SA Rugby's General Manager of Communications, Andy Colquhoun, confirmed that "discussions were taking place" between the two organisations.
MTN's previous three-year deal, from 2017 to 2019, was reportedly worth between R40m and R50m a year.
The deal included branding on the front of the Springbok jerseys in all competitive matches, except the Rugby World Cup.
MTN took over the rights in 2017 when South African rugby was in a slump both on and off the pitch.
The previous headline sponsor, Blue Label Telecoms, committed to a three-Test sponsorship in June 2016 and extended for one series of the Rugby Championship.
The first Blue Label Telecoms deal followed the exit of long-term sponsor, Absa, which had paid about R100m a year for the Springbok jersey rights in a five-year deal from 2011 to 2015.

I knew it would be a possibility that AirDroid wouldn't work correctly with the El Capitan public beta. I just wanted to post here so the developer would know about the issue.
i'd like to second/bump this. experiencing the same thing with the el capitan public beta (including supplemental update). thanks for looking into it dev team!
I'll third this. Airdroid won't launch using El Capitan. Does Airdroid do nightly builds? Any chance you might get to this sometime soon?
No, we don't have nightly builds. Will get back to you if we have a test version on this.
Can you tell me more details of the incompatibility? Can't install or can't use some specific AirDroid features? Or?
It cant even launch, looks like program trying to start (dock icon jump constantly) but nothing happens.
Same for me, impossible to open the application.
Hey, same thing happens when I try to open the application, I click on the app, then it just keeps bouncing, and then it doesn't open. It just stays on the dock unopened.
Can you attach the logs to help us troubleshoot?
Create a file named log.dll in application support/airdroid/ Open AirDroid and log in. And then Click Finder > Go > Press Alt until Library shows > Click Library > Application Support > AirDroid.


Management is an essential skill-set for any small business owner. Whether you're looking to build your management systems so that your business can run without you or looking for ways to engage, motivate, and develop your staff we have you covered. Below are a collection of articles on management from our weekly Business Owner Insights.
Are You Expecting Enough of Your Sales Team?
At Benchmark Business Group, we believe that business is three things: Strategy, Structure & Engagement of People. In well-designed businesses people are engaged to work through well-thought-out structures to achieve the strategy. When this isn't the case, where there is not clear strategy, or the structures are missing, it becomes difficult for owners and managers to productively engage people. Naturally, this leads to business management issues.
This month we've discussed how to design the structures needed to make project management successful in small business. We've looked at defining the mindset, having a project plan, knowing where to start, and dealing with change. We want to end this month's spotlight with a focus on action. It's one thing to have a plan, but no plan is successful without action.
Our Thoughts: The ability to adapt to change within a project is vital to success. Regardless of how great your project plan is there will always be some factors that you cannot control. The good news is that you can always control your reaction to those factors. The sample mindset document we provided earlier addressed the need for a project manager to adapt a flexible point of view, but to truly be ready for change, you must also think about the structure of change.
In planning a project, there's no one "place" to start as this is not a linear process. Instead, the project management process is a constant flow of information through the project plan. However, in most cases there are two important sections of the project plan that need to be completed early: the business requirements and milestones. If you haven't already, we recommend downloading our sample project plan and using it to follow along this week.
Previously, we discussed the need for project management skills in small businesses. We challenged you to define the point of view that a project manager needs to successfully manage projects in your business. This week we want to focus on the main structure that will help you, and your employees, plan out and execute the details of a project. This all-important document is the project plan, and a tool that is severely lacking in many businesses.
In a small business, there is never a lack of projects to be completed. In fact, many of the projects that are meant to take your business to the next level often stall due to the lack of available resources and talent to keep projects moving forward. In order for a project to succeed there needs to be one person that is accountable for driving the project forward. One person that ensures that all the obstacles small businesses run into: not enough time, not enough resources, etc., are obstacles to move beyond and not dead ends. The catch is that the accountable person doesn't, and in fact shouldn't, always have to be the business owner. Your business needs to have a structure for project management and a team of people who are trained to use the structure to lead and manage projects successfully.

Letter Composed During a Lull in the Fighting
Author(s): Kevin Powers
In this remarkable debut poetry collection, National Book Award finalist and Iraq war veteran Kevin Powers creates a startling, affecting portrait of a life shaped by war. LETTER COMPOSED DURING A LULL IN THE FIGHTING captures the many moments that comprise a soldier's life: driving down the Texas highway; waiting for the unknown in the dry Iraq heat; writing a love letter; listening to a mother recount her dreams.

Just as THE YELLOW BIRDS was hailed as the 'first literary masterpiece produced by the Iraq war,' (Los Angeles Times) this collection will prove to be a powerful, enduring classic.
The acclaimed author of THE YELLOW BIRDS returns with an extraordinary debut poetry collection.
Extraordinary...Brilliantly observed and deeply affecting. Michiko Kakutani, New York Times on THE YELLOW BIRDS Powers is a poet first, so THE YELLOW BIRDS is spare, incredibly precise, unimproveable. Dave Eggers, Observer Kevin Powers has produced a masterpiece of war literature and a classic. Hilary Mantel, Times, on THE YELLOW BIRDS

Dog Lovers! Tonight is your night…. Julian Roman Pölsler's "The Wall" ("Die Wand") screens at 8:45 at the Smith Rafael…part of a week of screenings of foreign Oscar nominees
As the only human survivor after an unexplained global tragedy, German actress Martina Gedeck bonds tightly with her loyal dog in Julian Roman Pölsler's "The Wall" a film that is true to Marlen Haushofer's exceptional novel . Image: courtesy of Music Box Films
I wouldn't be ARThound if I didn't do a special shout-out for Lynx, the amazing hound that co-stars in The Wall (Die Wand, 2012) which screens tonight (Wed) at 8:45 PM at the Smith Rafael (Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center) as part of their week of exceptional screenings of foreign Oscar nominations from around the world…. I can't say it enough… consistently awesome programming!
The Wall (Die Wand): Austrian director Julian Roman Pölsler's film is based on Marlen Haushofer's 1962 dystopian hit novel of the same name (just re-printed in English). The film stars German actress Martina Gedeck from the brilliant 2006 Stassi thriller The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen) and tells the story of a completely ordinary middle-aged woman (Gedeck) who is vacationing with friends in a remote mountain hunting lodge. Her friends go out to a pub and she stays back with the dog and when they don't come back, she makes a very creepy discovery. She is imprisoned on the mountainside by an invisible wall, behind which there seems to be no life. She appears to be the sole remaining human on earth, along with the dog (a red hound that will steal your heart),a cow, a cat, and a kitten, with which she forms a tight-knit family.
The film rests entirely on Gedeck's shoulders and she is riveting, delivering a very credible performance that will leave you shivering and running home to snuggle with your dog. The odd beauty of this film is that this last survivor scenario may be your own romanticized idea of heaven, or hell (Who hasn't said "Fuck the world! I'm sick of people…give me just my dog!), but watching Gedeck use her time laboring hard, protecting her pack, and introspectively processing her present life, leads us to right into her moments of intensely felt angst, terror, joy and sorrow. (Screens Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 8:45 PM, Smith Rafael)
I first reviewed The Wall when it screened at last year's Berlin & Beyond Film Festival—the very best new films by German, Austrian and Swiss directors—a noteworthy jewel in the huge array of festivals. This year, the 18th annual Berlin & Beyond Film Festival, kicks off this evening at San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre with Georg Maas' Two Lives (Zwei Leben, 2012), Germany's official entry, short-listed for the best foreign language Oscar at the 2014 Academy Awards. Click here to read ARThound's coverage of this year's Berlin & Beyond.) Two Lives also screens tomorrow (Thursday) at 6:30 PM at the Smith Rafael and filmmaker Maas will be in attendance for what will be a riveting Q&A. So, in San Rafael, you've got the opportunity to see two great German-language films back-to-back as part of their foreign Oscar nominee programming and, in San Francisco, Berlin & Beyond offers 30 feature length German-language films and 7 shorts over the next week (including six North American premieres and two US premieres).

Microsoft officially announced its $7.5 billion acquisition of GitHub. Will developers buy it?
From: Tech Company Date:06-05 97 Belong to:Company News
Microsoft has finally finalized the acquisition of GitHub.
On the evening of June 4, Microsoft officially announced its plan to purchase GitHub, a software code hosting website, with $7.5 billion in stock. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
GitHub was founded in April 2008, and it has been just 10 years since then. In 2015, GitHub was valued at $2 billion. In just three years, GitHub's market value has nearly quadrupled, making it the most popular social programming and code hosting platform.
According to statistics, as of March this year, GitHub has 28 million high-frequency users, and has hosted 80 million source code repositories for Java, Python and C + +. Public organizations such as NASA and large technology companies such as Google, apple and Amazon also have businesses on GitHub.
As the majority of GitHub users are white men (it is said that the proportion is as high as 97%), so it is nicknamed by Chinese programmers as "the world's largest gay dating website".
Chris wanstrath, CEO of GitHub, said the community platform was profitable as early as 2011. At present, GitHub has three profit models: Code hosting service, data precipitation and cloud storage, and enterprise headhunter recruitment community.
According to CNBC last year, GitHub expects annual revenue of more than $200 million, of which more than $110 million comes from b-end enterprise services revenue.
According to people familiar with the matter, such a profitable company did not choose to go public, but surrendered to Microsoft, in part because of its trust in Microsoft's ability and determination to attach importance to the developer business.
Interestingly, Microsoft used to be a strong opponent of open source software, but after NADELLA became Microsoft's CEO, Microsoft gradually became one of the most active promoters in the open source community. Since 2014, Microsoft has launched hundreds of open source projects since. Net, the basic open-source programming tool of Microsoft. In 2016, Microsoft also surpassed Facebook and Google to reach the top of GitHub's contribution list.
As for the significance of Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, NADELLA commented on twitter that "Microsoft + GitHub = enabling developers". According to the speculation of industry insiders, from the perspective of Microsoft's merging part of GitHub revenue into the Intelligent Cloud business segment, it is to implement the "Ai + cloud" strategy, so as to encourage developers to develop applications for Microsoft's multi platforms, including the cloud platform azure cloud.
From left to right are Chris wanstrath, co-founder of GitHub, Satya NADELLA, CEO of Microsoft, and NAT Friedman, new CEO of GitHub
Microsoft said that GitHub will maintain its original style in the future, focusing on developers and maintaining independent operation.
After the acquisition, NAT Friedman, vice president of Microsoft, will be the chief executive officer of GitHub, and Chris wanstrath, co-founder and former CEO of GitHub, will become a technical researcher of Microsoft, report to executive vice president Scott Guthrie and carry out strategic software development plan.
For a long time, due to the lessons learned from Nokia, Hotmail, Skype, etc., people hold a mocking and questioning attitude towards those big acquisitions of Microsoft. So what's the future of GitHub? Maybe only time will tell.

Van Noy won two Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots and racked up 12 games of playoff experience. That's more than many of his teammates combined. Six Chargers remain from the team's last trip to the postseason after the 2018 season. But the Chargers point to last year's Cincinnati Bengals as an illustration of why they think they can make a playoff run with minimal experience.

With this holiday brochure production project we helped Keycamp promote their range of self-catering holidays through vibrant colours, images full of personality and enticing copy.
A holiday brochure production and design project that had to meet several objectives – the final design would have to be part magazine, part lifestyle, part tour guide and part catalogue. It had to engage audiences, and encourage them to book.
Having worked on holiday brochure production and design extensively over the years, we knew how to get the balance right.
Keycamp offers holidays aimed at families, so we ensured that the cover design appealed to both parents and children. A stunning photograph in the middle of the cover helps readers focus their attention immediately, enticing them to pick up the brochure and browse through the pages to find the perfect experience for them.
As a well-known and respected holiday provider with a loyal and long-established customer base, we branded the brochure design clearly with the company logo, and used the bright and contemporary colour palette to help us structure the content into bite-size chunks that help process the information.
We considered every element to ensure the pages are fun and inviting – a relaxed typography style is the perfect vehicle for informal headlines that speak directly to the audience.
We matched this with carefully selected photos showing the quality accommodation and the wide range of activities available, all perfectly transmitting the idea of a holiday to remember for life.
With our digital agency expertise, we created a set of beautiful and persuasive digital banner ad designs that compelled Exodus' audience to click through and explore 'where they'd rather be'.

Q: Delay between OpenCL kernel being queued and starting to run on ATI cards I have recently moved an OpenCL application from a NVIDIA GPU to a Radeon HD 6320 Fusion running on Ubuntu 12.04, and it is unexpectedly running significantly slower.
My program copies a very large data structure on setup to the GPU (this data structure is never read or accessed by the CPU again), and then it:

*

*Queues several kernels and a read buffer (to copy a very small data structure back to main memory).

*Calls clFinish to wait for the kernels and the read buffer to complete

*This continually repeats, with occasionally some extra data copied depending on what information is returned by the read buffer (this means the read buffer has to complete before the next round of kernels can be added to the queue).

After profiling both GPUs, the delay on the ATI GPU seems to be entirely from the first kernel being being added to the queue (CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_QUEUED) to the first kernel starting execution (CL_PROFILING_COMMAND_START). On the NVIDIA GPU, this takes a few microseconds each iteration. On the ATI GPU, this takes around 20ms each iteration, which is far too long for my use.
Is there any reason why I could be getting this large delay?

A: Its a known issue in amd platforms. Check this forum link https://community.amd.com/thread/159060
Hopefully it is/will be fixed

A: It could be a number of things, are you running any other GPU programs that may need to complete so that the scheduler can free up some time for you?
The problem with this is that the OpenCL specification doesn't define the possible wait time. There is no requirement on timing from queueing a kernel to it's execution only that at some point it will execute. I would probably post on the ATI OpenCL boards, the developers there are well up on this subject and can probably give you an answer.

On Monday, Starbucks announced that it will stop using plastic straws in its stores by 2020.
The company says it uses one billion plastic straws annually, but plans on stopping the use of plastic straws in each of its 28,000 stores across the globe. Starbucks' announcement comes just a week after Seattle, the city where the first Starbucks opened, banned plastic straws.
"For our partners and customers, this is a significant milestone to achieve our global aspiration of sustainable coffee, served to our customers in more sustainable ways," Kevin Johnson, president and chief executive officer for Starbucks, said in a statement released by the company.
Starbucks has developed a new lid for some of its signature drinks like iced coffee and tea that does not require a straw. Instead, the lids have a raised lip. Some have compared the new lids to "adult sippy cups," CNN Business reported.
For decades, Starbucks has positioned itself as a company that cares about sustainability and the environment. In recent years, awareness about the effect plastic is having on the environment — in particular, the ocean — has caused scientists to sound the alarm about a need to curb the use of plastics. Last week, A Plus reported on the all-female eXXpedition crew currently sailing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch who is testing the chemicals left by plastics in the ocean.
During an interview with A Plus, eXXpedition co-founder Emily Penn said cleaning the oceans of plastics would be nearly impossible. Instead, she insisted, we should focus on reducing plastic consumption and pollution on the mainland.
Customers who still want to enjoy a Starbucks drink with a straw will be able to request one, but it won't be plastic. Instead, they will be given a compostable straw made from paper or eco-friendly plastic. Seattle will be the first American city to see the change coming, with the new lids and compostable straws debuting there this fall.
In May, McDonald's said it will transition from the use of plastic to paper straws in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The announcement from Starbucks could be a sign that the tide is turning amongst large chain restaurants.
"Starbucks decision to phase out single-use plastic straws is a shining example of the important role that companies can play in stemming the tide of ocean plastic," Nicholas Mallos, director of Ocean Conservancy's Trash Free Seas program, said in a Starbucks press release. "With eight million metric tons of plastic entering the ocean every year, we cannot afford to let industry sit on the sidelines, and we are grateful for Starbucks leadership in this space."
