Michigan AD Rips 'Fool' Kirk Herbstreit For Ohio State COVID Comments, 'Ridiculous'
Kirk Herbstreit Ripped By Michigan AD For OSU Remarks ... 'Ridiculous And Sad'
12/3/2020 8:34 AM PT
Univ. of Michigan AD Warde Manuel is teeing off on Kirk Herbstreit ... calling the ESPN college football analyst a "fool" for suggesting UM could use COVID as an excuse to get out of playing Ohio State next week.
"I think it's ridiculous," Manuel said Wednesday ... "I have to pause because my words, the anger ... I was infuriated by the insinuation that Michigan would do anything other than play a football game."
"To insinuate that, to say something other than that, is a statement by a fool," Manuel continued.
"IT IS RIDICULOUS AND SAD!"
If you missed it ... earlier this week, Herbstreit was breaking down the college football playoff rankings when he insinuated Michigan could, and possibly should, use COVID-19 as an excuse to duck out of its game with the Buckeyes next week.
Herbie said on the show, "I still think Michigan waves the white flag, potentially avoids playing Ohio State next week, and then they'll potentially get a game on the 19th."
Herbstreit added there would be incentive for the Wolverines to do that ... explaining the team could screw its rivals out of a spot in the Big Ten championship by bailing out of the matchup.
There was immediate backlash from fans over the comments ... and Herbstreit -- who played quarterback for OSU in his college days -- ultimately apologized over it all.
KIRK'S APOLOGY
"It was completely unfair to the University of Michigan, to Jim Harbaugh, to his players and coaches," the 51-year-old said.
Warde, though, was having none of Herbstreit's apology ... 'cause on Wednesday, he blasted the college football analyst despite his mea culpa.
Warde added, "It is something that I can't tell you how embarrassed I am for the Big Ten Conference to have one of their representatives, who played this game, to say that about any team in this conference."
"And to say it about college football and these student-athletes around this country, who are trying to play games during a pandemic, is ridiculous and sad."
Michigan -- which had to cancel its game against Maryland on Dec. 5 due to the pandemic -- is still currently scheduled to play OSU on Dec. 12 in Columbus, Ohio.

Only last week, the European Parliament ratified the incoming team of Commissioners, so the executive branch of European law-making is now in place until 2020.
As part of its on-going Digital Agenda for Europe, the new Commission's in-tray includes the matter of copyright reform.
Facilitating the wider accessibility of a range of content is not only in the public interest, it's essential for rights-holders and distributors too. Business models have already been adapted to harness an ever broader range of digital platforms.
Some films are, of course, released simultaneously across borders within the EU and beyond – there are no licensing obstacles which prevent this from happening. My concern is not with the principle, nor the ambition.
None of us can afford to be constrained by practices that are determined or defined solely by the status quo.
As I've observed before, UK film distributors would certainly wish for a little more flexibility over digital release windows in today's converged media world. The typically uniform period of theatrical exclusivity is now being referred to openly, albeit to my mind rather too casually, as 'the piracy window'.
But in any event, one size emphatically does not fit all titles. The current rigidity is self-defeating, serving only to shackle the growth prospects of the whole sector.
Regarding the new Commission, my concern is this – that any changes in European copyright policy are implemented with a real understanding of our film finance models, which tend to be quite different from those applied in, say, the US or China.
I don't think I need to elaborate in front of this particular audience, but if you clumsily reduce the incentive to finance via distribution pre-sales across various release territories – not necessarily national silos; possibly wider groups of countries – then you may inadvertently have devastated filmmaking, and cultural diversity to boot, right across Europe.
So my plea to the Commission is to take note and tread carefully as it pushes forward with the digital single market. A truly nuanced approach to territoriality, allowing a myriad of individual release plans to flourish, is absolutely essential, and ultimately in audiences' best interests.

Fall is a great time to start a new garden, and we will help you with making first steps in this exciting process.
So, you are out to start new garden? Well, if you are going to make a garden out of your lawn, then perhaps first thing you need to do choose a space without any shades, that means no trees! Another important aspect of good gardening site is well drained soil, and this can be checked by observing how the water and soil interact after the heavy rain.
So, if your site has grass, you will need to remove it first. Rent a sod cutter and when finished, dig the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches with a garden tiller. Now, when your soil is free of any rocks, debris and such you can start seeding. Of course first you would need to make beds for your garden. It is best of course to use plants in containers, however it is almost up to you! Last steps include spreading mulch on your new garden soil and water your plant gardens!

Breaking the Mold: Architecture Students Bring Building Materials to the Runway
December 3, 2018 Christine Klocke
Showcasing a collection of angular, geometric wearables made from rigid building materials such as cement, poster board, and Plexiglas, the architecture student design team of Cameron Elliott [BEDA '18] and Samantha Lackey [BEDA '18], took a decidedly unique approach to the 17th annual Art2Wear (A2W). The College of Design's A2W fashion show is open to all design students but typically features Art + Design and Industrial Design majors; Elliot and Lackey saw the show as a challenge and a test of their abilities and creativity.
As seniors, design students have the opportunity to take a swing course in a different major as a studio elective. "We saw that A2W was on the list of options and together we thought it sounded different and wanted to try it out as a way to stray from architecture," Elliott says. "We knew we would need to go full force next year for our fifth-year, and so, it began as a big 'what-if.'"
The two reached out to Associate Professor of Art + Design and Director of Art2Wear Justin LeBlanc, who encouraged them to participate and became an advocate and mentor. "It's important that students from different disciplines participate in A2W," states LeBlanc. "This enhances the outcome of the event and exposes students to new skills, technologies, and abilities that they didn't realize they have. It also enhances the studio environment for all designers."
Though excited and eager for the challenge, Elliot and Lackey felt behind before they even got started. Usually, A2W designers present two complete looks for submission consideration early in the fall, and then, throughout the semester, they complete the remainder of their collection. "We didn't have anything complete," Cameron admits.
Feeling the stress, they decided to design their collection with materials they were already comfortable with. Lackey says, "We thought, what if we did something with an architecture-inspired line? We knew we could push the materials beyond what we knew, from what we learned over the past three years in studios and model building."
Some of their first sketches and wearable products were traditional but utilized building materials. "We made a skirt out of wood, and it looked like a skirt," Elliott notes. "Justin suggested that we produce something more avant-garde or abstract and to not make them so realistic," Lackey says. Again drawing on their existing knowledge, the pair found inspiration from their First Year Experience course in architecture, where, Lackey says, "you don't jump into designing buildings, you start with conceptual architecture. It is abstract and artistic."
"We pushed boundaries of literal architectural materials" —Sam Lackey
The pair started using building materials such as tile, screws, and carpet. "We pushed boundaries of literal architectural materials," Lackey says. But they soon determined that they were running into the same issues they would have if they had used unfamiliar textiles. "We didn't know how to really manipulate those materials very well, and we decided it would hinder our ability to do more abstract things," says Elliot. "So, we came back to our roots and thought that the ridged materiality of all the modeling materials that we have been using would really convey what we were trying to accomplish through conceptual architecture." Elliot and Lackey turned to materials such as wood, cement, poster board, and Plexiglas that are typically used when making architecture models.
"It took us a while to figure out how we were going to approach the project, but once we figured it out, it was a lot easier," shares Elliot. She admits that their earlier challenges resulted from changing directions several times that resulted in "lots of scrambling" trying to find "a cohesive collection" after having two completed pieces. Even though this back and forth is part of the process, Elliot advises others, "no matter what it is—figure out your direction and stick with it. Additionally, push the boundaries of what you think you can do."
With each piece being directly inspired by an architectural building or material, the collection title "Arc2Wear" seemed "to just say it all," Elliot says. Much of Elliot and Lackey's challenge came from the fact that not only were they using materials in a unique way, but the scale of the project—designing for a model, not a building—was entirely different than what they were used to. They found that drawing inspiration directly from building images offered support. Lackey says, "these inspirations allowed us to be abstract in our designs, and although they will be worn, we are taking architectural ideas and imposing them onto fashion."
The team went a step further and even mimicked construction technique in their creation process. For one piece in their collection, the Elliot and Lackey molded and poured miniature concrete panels, and once dried, connected them together with small brackets. These panels became the basis of a wearable that was one of the crowning jewels of their collection.
The Arc2Wear collection is comprised of five unique pieces, all influenced by architecture. "It has been a great experience that we can talk about and show in our portfolios to showcase our ability to push boundaries and challenge ourselves," Lackey adds.
Both Elliot and Lackey are excited about all the positive feedback about their collection and the questions and comments from so many people about the materials and the architectural influences. "It was hard work, but it was so worth it," Elliot says. Their best advice to other students is to "go for it, and do it because you will regret it latter if you don't."


Stacey Abrams speaks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. CNN image via Getty.
In honor of National Hero's Day on August 27, I have decided to express my gratitude for former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives Stacey Abrams.
When I first heard about her, she had won the Democratic nominee for Georgia Governor – the first African American woman to win this type of nomination in the U.S.
I heard her speak, and she spoke about helping all Georgians especially the marginalized. At this point, I did not know she was a lesbian.
I found out she was a lesbian after I recently did an internet search for black LGBT+ candidates. I was thrilled her sexual identity did not make the headlines.
I feel sometimes the media will focus on an LGBT+ person's identity instead of their achievements. Their sexual or gender identity is only one component of who they are. Once the public knows a candidate is LGBT+, they tend to only focus on their identity which is counterproductive to them learning about their platform.
Stacey Abrams has managed to control her image and let people know she means business when it comes to bettering the lives of the citizens of Georgia. This attorney is a shero (female hero) in many other ways besides politics.
She also started a non-profit which helps small businesses thrive, according to lesbianswhotech.org. Abrams is an author and has written novels mainly dealing with love, suspense and romance. She's well rounded with brains, beauty and creativity.
I could have a beer with this gal!
Abrams grew up in poverty and to me, living through those experiences is what makes the best politician. It makes her relatable. I can only imagine how being queer, poor and black in the south affected her worldview. I haven't read anything about her family being affirming of her identity while growing up, but maybe she will write a book about it.
Could Abrams be the first African American Governor? Hell, could she be the first African American female President? Can you imagine having a lesbian first lady?
If it is not her then she surely has set the example and given hope to young black LGBT+ people, they can achieve this. For these reasons, I consider her a shero. A shero will fight for equality, keep her composure, stand firm on her views, show men she is a force to be reckoned with; and looks fly while doing it!
Stacey's win is a result of the progressive blue wave sweeping red states because people are tired of the conservative sh!*. She is showing our country she is not afraid to accomplish things many people doubt she can.
I hope to see her waving a rainbow flag on the night of her win and maybe even at her being sworn in as the Governor of Georgia. That would be astounding to see!
Sometimes it takes a black woman – a black lesbian – to do the job. She can. She will. She does. Shero.

CEDIA Global President and CEO Tabatha O'Connor to Depart
Departing CEO Leaves a Legacy of Transformation at the Leading Global Custom Installation Association
October 9, 2020 – Tabatha O'Connor, Global President and CEO of CEDIA, will depart the association at the end of her contact period in January.
O'Connor's eighteen-year tenure at CEDIA was a period of profound transformation. In 2016, the association integrated its North American and worldwide operations to form a single integrated global organization, resulting in more efficient operations, more consistent member experience, and a stronger brand presence. In 2017, CEDIA sold its North American tradeshow to Emerald Expositions while retaining ownership of the education program, reflecting an association-wide commitment to serving its members year-round through education, training, and certification.
In 2020, the pivot from expositions to industry support and education proved prescient as CEDIA launched a series of global virtual events in response to COVID-19. The CEDIASTRONG series of webinars, roundtables, and event has engaged thousands of CEDIA members since April 2020 and resulted in a wealth of new resources for the residential custom integration community, including the new CEDIASTRONG Scholarship Fund. O'Connor's leadership during this tumultuous period has helped CEDIA to stay connected to its member community and provide timely resources to address the crisis.
"The CEDIA board is grateful for Tabatha's leadership in executing a number of critical strategic initiatives over the last three years," says CEDIA Board Chair Robert Sutherland. "She has helped CEDIA transition from a trade show organization to an industry association focused squarely on meeting its members most critical needs. She leaves us well positioned to continue as the global leader in custom integration education, training, certification, and workforce development."
CEDIA will launch a global search for a new President and CEO over the next several months. In the interim, O'Connor will transition her duties to the CEDIA board of directors.
About CEDIA
CEDIA, the global trade association and central touch point for residential technology, provides members with cutting-edge education, develops standards to ensure the highest levels of professionalism, and is the industry's only certifying body. CEDIA furthers collaboration with architects, designers, builders, and homeowners to deliver technology solutions that allow families to experience their best moments in life in the comfort of their own homes.

The Queen: The Forgotten Life Behind an American Myth
"On the South Side of Chicago in 1974, Linda Taylor reported a phony burglary, concocting a lie about stolen furs and jewelry. The detective who checked it out soon discovered she was a welfare cheat who drove a Cadillac to collect ill-gotten government checks. And that was just the beginning: Taylor, it turned out, was also a kidnapper, and possibly a murderer. A desperately ill teacher, a combat-traumatized Marine, an elderly woman hungry for companionship--after Taylor came into their lives, all three ended up dead under suspicious circumstances. But nobody--not the journalists who touted her story, not the police, and not presidential candidate Ronald Reagan--seemed to care about anything but her welfare thievery. Growing up in the Jim Crow South, Taylor was made an outcast because of the color of her skin. As she rose to infamy, the press and politicians manipulated her image to demonize poor black women. Part social history, part true-crime investigation, Josh Levin's mesmerizing book, the product of six years of reporting and research, is a fascinating account of American racism, and an expose of the 'welfare queen' myth, one that fueled political debates that reverberate to this day. [This book] tells, for the first time, the fascinating story of what was done to Linda Taylor, what she did to others, and what was done in her name."--

Sunday's Obituary – A Grandma by Any Other Name
May 4, 2014 September 14, 2018 agnette
Lena and Albert Swing
Last night Mom and I were discussing family names, and how when she was a child she was grateful that she hadn't been named after either of her grandmothers because she found their names very old-fashioned.
Lena Agnes Hunkler was born 22 December 1892 in Washington, Illinois (hit by the recent devastating tornado). At 20 years of age she married Albert Carl Swing, and they had three children. After living mainly in Illinois and Indiana, they eventually moved to Texas for Lena's health. Lena died in Harlingen, Texas, on 13 June 1964 and was buried in Restlawn Cemetery in LaFeria. Apparently this newspaper needed to hire a new editor.
Mrs. Lena Swing
Forrest (PNS)–Mrs. Lena Swing, 71, died at 5 a.m. Saturday in Harlingen, Tex.
The Cox Funeral Home is in charge of services, which will be at 2 p.m. Monday in Harlingen. She was the former Lena Hunkler, and was born Dec. 22, 1892, in Washington, Ill. She married Albert Swing June 18, 1913, in Washington. Surviving are her husband; one son, Roy, Harlingen; two daughters, Mrs. Marilyn DuRuary [sic], Harlingen, and Mrs. Thelma Hoffman [sic], Boise, Idaho [sic]; two sisters, Hilda of Missouri [sic], and Bertha of Texas, and a brother, John Hunkler, who lives near Peoria. She and her husband operated the Swing Transfer Co. in Forrest. They left here 18 years ago to move to Texas.
Emma Alice Slagel was born 5 March 1880 in Fairbury, Illinois. She married Paul Hoffmann on 7 December 1902 in Fairbury, and she gave birth to 10 children. Paul died in a tragic railroad accident four days after their youngest child, Clyde's, seventh birthday. Emma remained in Fairbury, dying on Christmas Day 1961. She is buried in Fairbury's Graceland Cemetery.
Services for Emma Hoffman Thursday
Mrs. Emma Hoffman, 81, died at her home, 505 S Fourth, at 11:45 a.m. Monday. She had been ill three years.
Her funeral will be at the Cook Funeral Home at 2 p.m. Thursday, Rev. Peter Schaffer officiating. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery.
Visitation begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.
She was born in Fairbury, March 5, 1880, the daughter of Sam and Mary Demler Slagel. She was married to Paul Hoffman in 1902. He passed away in 1933. She lived on a farm south of Fairbury until moving to town in 1943.
Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Marie Kilgus, Fairbury; Mrs. Alice Himelick, Kokomo, Ind.; Miss Leona Hoffman, at home; five sons, Joe, Caldwell, Idaho; Sam, Paul, Clyde and Ralph, all of Fairbury; one brother, Dan Slagel, Fairbury; 36 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, a son and a daughter.
She was a member of the Apostolic Church Fairbury.
The family suggests that any tangible expressions of sympathy be in the form of donations to the Cancer Society.
I actually like both "Lena" and "Emma," but then I tend to like the old-fashioned names best. Well, usually. My own grandmothers take the cake in the old-fashioned name department, even if Blanche and Velma were the sweetest grandmas ever.

Tombstone Tuesday – Eugenie Hoffmann Swing
April 30, 2013 September 14, 2018 agnette
Eugenie Hoffmann Swing's history is an excellent example of how my maternal genealogy in particular is a very tangled web. Eugenie B. Hoffmann was born May 1, 1865 in France, the daughter of Jacob and Annette (Meyer) Hoffmann. This makes her my great-great-grand-aunt, as her sister Catherine Marie was my Grandma Hoffmann's paternal grandmother.
However, she is also my half-great-grand-aunt, as her half-brother, Paul (son of Jacob Hoffmann and his second wife, Christine Schmidt) and his wife Emma were my Grandpa Hoffmann's parents (Grandpa and Grandma were half first cousins once removed).
On February 23, 1890, Eugenie married Joseph Gilbert Schwing/Swing (1861-1949) in Livingston County, Illinois. She was J. G.'s second wife; his first wife, Annie Schippee, had died in 1888 after giving birth to a son (Walter) and a daughter (Anna). Joseph's older brother Albert Carl Swing was already married to Eugenie's aforementioned sister Catherine, making her husband also her brother-in-law (sort of).
Eugenie, also known as Jennie, gave birth to four children: Joseph John (b. September 12, 1892); Mary S. (b. January 17, 1894); William J. (b. August 2, 1897); and Jacob G. (b. April 5, 1899). The census taker enumerated Eugenie and her family on June 5; one week later, Eugenie was dead at the age of 35:
Deaths Doings
Mrs. Joseph G. Swing
The death of Mrs. Joseph G. Swing occurred at her home in this city Tuesday afternoon at 12:30. She was sick but a few days and everything that medical skill could do to aleviate [sic] her suffering was done. It is sad to note the death even of those who have lived their three score years and ten, but doubly so to note the passing away of one in the full bloom of womanhood, surrounded by a family of affectionate children and a loving husband.
Jennie Hoffman was born in France May 19, 1865. She came to America with her parents in 1883, coming direct to Fairbury, where she has since resided. On February 14, 1890, she was united in marriage to Joseph G. Swing. To this union four children were born: Joseph, Mary, William and Jacob.
The deceased was a loving and affectionate wife and mother, a kind neighbor and a true friend. The blow falls heavily upon the bereaved husband and motherless children and they have the sympathy of the entire community. Besides her husband and children, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman, of Cissna Park, and five brothers and nine sisters, most of whom with numerous friends, were present at the funeral services. She was a member of the German Apostolic church and the services were held there this afternoon at 2:30. The remains were laid to rest in the Fairbury cemetery.
A little over a year later, Eugenie's widower was married a third time – to her half-sister, Lydia, born February 25, 1877. Joseph and Lydia had 11 children; they named their eldest Eugenie C. Swing.

Sunday's Obituary – Samuel Frank Montgomery
Samuel Frank Montgomery was my great-grand-uncle. His older brother, Charles William Montgomery, was my great-grandfather and has been mentioned here a number of times. Samuel appears as "Franklin," age 7, in the 1870 census in Denver Township, Illinois, with parents John and Belinda, and siblings Hattie, Charles, Thomas, Harry, and Edward. In 1880, Samuel F., age 18, is listed with "works on farm" as his occupation.
By 1900 Samuel is married to Ida Goodell and appears in Blue Ridge Township, Piatt County, Illinois, as "Frank," with a birthdate of September 1863. Other members of the household are: wife Ida M., born December 1869; daughter Florence, born August 1889; daughter Ruth, born August 1891; daughter Nellie, born April 1895; and daughter "Dortha," born July 1898. Ida's census record indicates she had given birth to a total of 5 children, of whom 4 were still living by 1900.
This photo shows Samuel, Ida, and one of their children:
Still in Blue Ridge by 1910, Samuel F. is listed as age 48 and a rural mail carrier. Ida M., age 40; Nellie B., age 17; "Dorotha" L., age 11; and John S. complete the family. By 1920 in Blue Ridge Township, Nellie has left home, leaving a household of four. Samuel is now listed as working at a livery. Ida passed away in 1929, and I have yet to locate Samuel in the 1930 or 1940 censuses. He did not die himself until 1959, age 96. Samuel and Ida are buried in the Blue Ridge Township Mansfield Cemetery in Mansfield, Illinois.

Catherine Marie Hoffmann Swing
Mrs. Catherine Swing
Called To Her Reward
Mrs. Albert Swing passed away at her home on Brooks street last Sunday, after an illness of some time, the ailment finally being diagnosed as cancer of the stomach.
Mrs. Swing, with her husband and children, moved to this vicinity in 1909, for many years residing on the farm 1 3/4 miles southeast of town now occupied by Romeo Gudeman. They later purchased the farm in Hanging Grove township, Jasper county, now occupied by her son, Paul Swing, where her husband died about eight years ago. She continued to operate the farm until five years ago, when she purchased her home in town.
Catherine Hoffman was born in Remicourt, France, February 2, 1862, and was the daughter of Jacob and Anna Hoffman. She died at her home in Francesville, on Sunday, March 15, 1931, at the age of 69 years, 1 month and 13 days.
When but a small girl her parents moved to Vitrey, France, where she spent her girlhood. In 1881, she came to America, settling in Illinois.
She united with the Christian Apostolic church at the age of 21 years, remaining a true Christian and a wonderful mother to the end.
In 1884 she was married to Albert Swing, and they started farming near Fairbury, Illinois, later moving to near Cissna Park, Illinois, from where they moved to Wolcott, Indiana, in 1904.
To this union were born thirteen children: Mrs. Martha Slagel, Mrs. Lena Nussbaum and Albert Swing, of Fairbury, Illinois; Joe Swing, of near Hoopeston, Illinois; Mrs. Kathryn Shumaker, of Metamora, Illinois; Mrs. Anna Getz, of Tremont, Illinois; Mrs. May Kopka, and Charles and Paul Swing near Francesville, and Esther, Naomi and George Swing at home.
Besides her children, she leaves to mourn her loss 38 grandchildren, six sisters and five brothers, and a host of warm friends.
Funeral services were held Wednesday forenoon at the Christian Apostolic church, and a very large concourse of relatives and friends accompanied the remains to the cemetery east of town, where she was buried.
Earth has lost its look of gladness,
Heaven seems to us more bright;
Since the spirit of our loved one
Took its happy homeward flight.
Oh, that dear one, how we loved her;
Oh, how hard to give her up,
But an angel came down for her,
And removed her from our flock.

Carl Ozro Wilson
From Winner (South Dakota) Newspaper
Old Time Resident Dies of Heart Attack
This community was shocked Saturday morning about ten o'clock when it became known that Carl O. Wilson had sucumbed [sic] to a heart attack at his place of business.
Mr. Wilson was apparently in good health that morning, got up and partook of his usual breakfast, and remarked that he was feeling fine. He was manager in charge of the municipal liquor store here in Wood and was just entering his place of business when the final summons came.
Mr. Wilson was born February 8, 1886, at Creighton, Neb., and was therefore aged 53 year, four months, and one day when he answered the final summons of his Maker. He lived with his parents there and on March 13, 1907, he was united in marriage to Miss Sophie Roberg, in Boone County, Nebraska. To this union ten children were born, five sons and five daughters, two of the sons preceding him in death. After his marriage he was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Newman Grove, Neb.
He and his wife made their home at Newman Grove, Neb., until the year 1915, when the family moved to Mellette county, taking up a homestead in the Bad Nation community northeast of Wood, and he had made Mellette county his home ever since. In 1929 he moved to Wood and since that time he has been operating a restaurant for the greater part of time. He was of a rather jovial disposition, and was a man who had a faculty of acquiring friends. Less than a month ago he became manager of the first municipal liquor store here in Wood.
The deceased is survived by his widow, who for several years has been making her home at Witten, and five daughters, Mrs. Blanche Montgomery of Scottsbluff, Neb., Mrs. Percy Frainer [sic] of Ft. Pieere, [sic] S.D., Miss Mildred Wilson of Winner, Miss Irene of Sioux Falls, and Miss Maude of Witten, and three sons, Ozro and Clarence of Wood, and Lester of Witten. He is also survived by two brothers, W.D. Hubbard of Baker, Mont. And Jerry Wilson of Sisseton, S.D., and three sisters, Mrs. Maude Carter of Pierre, Mrs. R.E. Raymaker of Missoula, Mont., and Mrs. Ross Walker of Polson, Mont.
Funeral services were held in the Paradise theatre in Wood at ten o'clock Tuesday morning, and the theatre was filled to capacity with friends of the deceased who came to pay their last respects to the departed one. Rev. Wold of the Baptist church at Witten preached the funeral sermon, and sextette of girls furnished the music, with Mrs. Jessie McDonald at the piano. There were many beautiful floral pieces that nearly covered the casket, the tributes of friends. The remains were taken to Winner to be laid beside those of his son in the Winner cemetery.

Joseph Slagel
March 26, 2011 September 15, 2018 agnette
Death of Joseph Slagel (February 12, 1883 – September 5, 1915)
The remains of Joseph Slagel, a mention of whose death was made in this paper last week, arrived here from Miesse, N. M., last Friday Evening, and the funeral was held from the German Apostolic church Sunday afternoon, at one o'clock. The funeral services were largely attended, a large number being present from the surrounding towns. The remains were laid to rest int he Fairbury cemetery.
Joseph Slagel, son of Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Slagel, of this city, was born on the old home place, south of this city, Feb. 12, 1883, and passed away at the Ladies' Hospital, Deming, N. M., Sept. 6, being at the time of his death aged 32 years, 6 months, and 24 days. With the exception of a year spent at Miesse, N. M., he had lived in this vicinity practically all his life. On May 24, 1906, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Wagler. They resided in this city up to about a year ago, Mr. Slagel conducting a machine shop on east Locust street. Failing health, however, caused him to give up his business here, and he purchased a ranch near Miesse, several years ago, and in September of 1914, with his wife, went there to live. During his life here, "Joe," as he was familiarly known to his friends, had made a host of friends. Always honest and upright, he held the esteem and respect of all who knew him, and in their hour of sadness the bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community. Besides the bereaved wife and parents, he leaves one sister, Mrs. Emma Hoffman, and one brother, Daniel Slagel, both residing south of town, to mourn his loss.
Killed by Explosion of Prestolite Tank
The first word received here was to the effect that Mr. Slagel had been killed by the explosion of a shot gun, but such was not the case. The following letter, which we received from C. C. Hollenback, who formerly resided here, but who also moved to Miesse about a year ago, gives the particulars of the accident. We received the letter last Friday but too late for publication. The letter also tells of the high esteem in which he was held in that community. Miesse, N.M., Sept. 7th, 1915. Editor Blade: Knowing that the friends of Joseph J. Slagel would like to know the particulars as to the cause of his death, I will give a short account of the same. He passed away at the Ladies Hospital in Deming, New Mexico, Sept. 6th, at 12:15 o'clock a.m., being conscious to the end. The immediate cause of his death was due to an explosion of gas Saturday afternoon at about 4:30 o'clock, while he was charging a prestolite tank for his automobile with acetylene gas. The generator exploding with great force. Joe was standing with his hands resting on the machine and received the full…of the shock, it breaking his…about three inches long…left side following around his body striking the spinal column. Although he was thrown several feet by the force of the blow he had gotten to his knees when reached by friends and later walked to his car with assistance and from the car into his home. A physician was called at once and every care given him that was possible. Mr. Slagel moved to New Mexico last September one year ago and liked the country very much and enjoyed much better health than he had for several years past. He had just completed a beautiful new home, of which he and his wife were justly very proud. He was very much interested in his work of farming, and we had studied the problems of a new irrigated country together on many occasions. As a friend we had learned to love him. As a neighbor to esteem him highly. As a citizen he was above reproach. We will miss him. His wife, father, mother, brother and sister have the sympathy of the entire community.
Yours very truly, C. C. Hollenback."
Joseph Slagel Killed
Expires at Meisse, N.M., after being hurt when gun explodes–one arm torn off and both eyes.
Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Slagel, of this city, received a telegram from C. C. Hollenback early Sunday morning stating that their son, Joseph Slagel, had been terribly injured by the explosion of a gun. The telegram bore the intelligence that his left arm had been torn away by the force of the explosion and that both eyes had been blown out. Rev. and Mrs. Slagel left Sunday evening for Meisse, but another telegram was received here Sunday night stating that the injured man had passed away. His parents, however, were not apprised of this fact until they reached their destination.
No other particulars than the above are obtainable at this time. The remains are expected to arrive here today and the funeral will be held Sunday.
Joseph Slagel bought land near Meisse, N.M., about four years ago, and about two years ago he sold out his machine shop here and with his wife located on his ranch in the hopes of bettering his health. He had one of the best pieces of land in that section. He loved to hunt and stated before leaving here that he intended to put in his spare time at this sport, and it is thought perhaps that it was while on a hunting expedition the accident occurred.

Bogdan Bogdanovic managed just six points to go with four dimes, three rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes off the bench.
This was the first game in quite some time that the second-year man was outplayed by Iman Shumpert, the guy playing in front of him in the starting lineup. The young Serbian is no doubt in a bit of a slump, having combined to score 13 points on 6-for-20 over the past two contests. He's a great shooter and will no doubt shoot his way out of this slump over the next couple of contests. Don't worry about Bogdan.

Jan Pašek (* 8. April 1891 in Lieben/Libeň; † 1960 in Prag) war ein tschechischer Maler.

Leben
Jan Pašek studierte von 1908 bis 1910 an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Prag bei Karel Reiss, Emanuel Dítě und Arnošt Hofbauer sowie von 1910 bis 1913 an der Kunstakademie Prag bei Vojtěch Hynais, Maximilián Pirner und Hanuš Schwaiger.

Während des Ersten Weltkrieges diente er in der österreichisch-ungarischen Armee und geriet in Valjevo (Serbien) in Gefangenschaft. Er wurde am 10. Februar 1918 in Trompeloup in die tschechoslowakischen Legionen der französischen Fremdenlegion aufgenommen und blieb dort Mitglied bis zur Demobilisierung am 30. April 1921.

Von 1919 bis 1921 arbeitete er beim Verlag "Widerstandsgedenken" in Prag. Er war von 1898 bis 1952 Mitglied der Union der bildenden Künstler in Prag. Er war insbesondere ein bedeutender Landschafts- aber auch ein figürlicher und Porträtmaler. Die dramatischen Ereignisse des Ersten Weltkrieges und die böhmischen, slowakischen und französischen Landschaften haben ihn besonders inspiriert.

Im Jahre 1960 starb er in Prag. Seine Werke wurden zwischen 1924 und 2012 auf zahlreichen Ausstellungen in verschiedenen Galerien, Kunsthallen, öffentlichen Gebäuden und Museen in Prag und Brünn gezeigt. Seine Bilder wurden und werden auf  Auktionen und in Galerien auch international angeboten und er ist damit auch in vielen Auktionskatalogen zu finden. Außerdem ist er im Künstlerlexikon Thieme-Becker, im Künstlerlexikon Vollmer, im Verzeichnis der aktiven Mitglieder der Union der bildenden Künstler in Prag (1935), im Künstlerverzeichnis des Kulturverzeichnisses der Tschechoslowakischen Republik (1936), im Neuen Lexikon der tschechoslowakischen Künstler (1993), im Lexikon der tschechischen und slowakischen Künstler (2002), im Unterschriftenverzeichnis tschechischer und slowakischer Künstler (2002) und im Tschechischen Nationalarchiv der schönen Künste vertreten. In der Auktionsbank ADEC ist er ebenfalls mit Ölgemälden zu finden.

S'pore BBQ Pits & Camping Sites To Reopen In Mar, Only 5 Pax Per Group
BBQ Pits In HDB Estates, Condos & Parks Open On 18 Mar
Since Covid-19 struck Singapore, we've been deprived of several cheap recreational activities in the name of safe distancing.
For example, enjoying an outdoor BBQ and camping wasn't possible, as pits and sites had been shut off since a surge in cases last year.
Thankfully, Singapore's BBQ pits and camping sites will finally reopen in Mar after months of closure.
Of course, the prevailing safe distancing rules still apply, including having no more than 5 people per group.
Shut for a long time
Since the pandemic began, Singapore's BBQ pits and camping sites have spent most of the time forlornly shut.
They were briefly reopened from Jan-May 2021, but sealed off again when the cases started picking up again.
Now that Covid-19 measures are being streamlined, however, the authorities have seen fit to allow Singaporeans this activity again.
Most facilities open on 18 Mar
The good news was revealed in a joint media release on Friday (11 Mar) by a handful of Singapore agencies including the HDB, National Parks Board (NParks) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
They said BBQ pits and camping sites in parks managed by NParks will reopen on 18 Mar.
Bookings and applications will be accepted via AXS from 10am on 15 Mar.
BBQ pits in HDB estates and condos will also open on the same day, and residents can approach their town councils or condo managements.
BBQ pits managed by the SLA – on Lazarus Island, Pulau Hantu Besar and Eagle Lodge on St John's Island – will reopen on 18 Mar, while their camping sites will reopen on 29 Mar.
While the BBQ pits are on a 1st-come-1st-served basis, applications for camping sites can be made at https://app1.sla.gov.sg/TOL from 10am on 15 Mar.
Safe distancing must be observed
While outdoor R&R is coming back, safe distancing must still be observed due to Covid-19.
That means the prevailing group size of 5 applies, whether you're heating it up at a BBQ pit or pitching a tent for the night.
According to the agencies, there should be no intermingling between groups.
Even within the same group, masks must be worn unless exercising, eating, drinking or taking medication.
When not wearing masks, visitors should also keep a safe distance of 1m from other visitors.
As for campers, they should pitch their tents at least 5m apart from each another.
Finally, all individuals must check in via SafeEntry or bring their TraceTogether token.
Before coming down to the parks, the public is advised to check NParks' Safe Distance@Parks portal to get updates on crowd levels.
Back to the outdoors
For many Singaporeans, BBQ and outdoor camping are cheap and wholesome activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Thus, we're sure they'll be chomping at the bit to chope a spot when bookings are open.
If you're going down, do remember to keep to safe management measures, and note that BBQ pits are only open from 12-10.30pm.

Guns.com: Cody Wilson sets his legal sights on Shopify

His determination is inspiring.
Via Guns.com:
Cody Wilson is no stranger to litigation. Having spent the better part of five years locked in a battle against the State Department over the legality of 3D printed files, Wilson finally won his case and earned the right to publish his digital blueprints. Now, just a month after his victory, Wilson is looking to, again, step into the courtroom but this time against e-commerce platform Shopify.
Shopify, an online marketplace for retailers, shocked the gun industry Monday when it unexpectedly and swiftly changed its Acceptable User Policy — effectively banning firearms and firearms related parts. As gun and parts retailers grappled with the sudden about-face in policy, Wilson said the change in policy was all about silencing him.
"It was prompted because of the victory in the press and everything, as well as, I suspect, third party interference," Wilson explained to Guns.com in a phone interview Thursday. "I know that the Attorney General in New Jersey, for example, had sent letters asking my host to take my website down, asking CloudFlare to take my website down. I know last year that the Gabby Giffords' group asked Shopify in a nine page letter to take my website down."
Wilson was the very first firearms retailer to get the ax from the e-commerce site, receiving his eviction notice by email early Friday. Wilson said he immediately began contacting the company after he received the email to determine why he was kicked off the site.
"Basically they banned me at like midnight on Friday, early Friday of last week. I asked for an explanation for why my shop was banned that day. They didn't give me one and then they spent the whole weekend coming up with new terms. It was like Monday or Tuesday when they finally updated their use policy." he said. "So they basically decided to knee-jerk get rid of me and then figured out how to explain it on the backend of that next week."...
When asked what the next step in the process would be, Wilson bluntly told Guns.com that court was his next stop. "My intention is to sue Shopify for breach of contract," he said. "And I invite others to join me if they feel like a similar thing has happened to them."

Q: "other" storage in Mac is 27gbs after clean install of BigSur beta I downloaded and installed macOS Big Sur beta. I did a clean install and in my storage I have 14gbs used by the system and the "other" is taking 27gbs and I can't seem to find out what is taking so much space given there is nothing installed on the computer and most of my stuff is backed on iCloud. I looked around in terminal for a bit and 17gbs is taken by cloudKit, is it safe to delete CloudKit. The CloudKit is located here
 /Users/vibhorsagar/Library/Caches

so idk if I can delete it. but is there any other way to find out what is taking that much storage?
Since I only have 128gbs ssd, every gig matters.

Q: Can design patterns ruin abstraction? This is a theory question not a practical one.
I'm trying to design a program that follows software best practices. But I am having trouble figuring out the best way to do certain things that allow for Test Driven Development and good Encapsulation and Abstraction while also minimizing coupling.
I planed to have two layers of abstraction, a database management layer, and a table management layer.
class TableManager()
{
    init() {
     manager = DatabaseManger()
    }

    do_operation(String operation) {
        connection = manager.get_db_connection()
        connection.execute(operation)
    }
}

This seemed like a good idea because the actual connection details are hidden from the table manager. But it also seems bad because the TableManager is highly coupled to the DatabaseManager and for testing, I would need to have a separate database connection to set up the database state, things like drop the database and table so we test operations when the database does not exist and things like that
Can someone weigh in here and challenge my assumptions? I might be overestimating the importance of some factors or underestimating others. Is this a common problem with a design patter?

A: Consider passing manager to TableManager as a constructor parameter, so that you can have two different implementations of a database manager: a concrete one and a mock one.
// These two classes have the same interface.
class ConcreteDBManager
{
    auto numberOfTables()
    {
        auto connection = connectToRealDB();
        return connection.queryAs<int>("COUNT TABLES");
    }
};

class MockDBManager
{
    auto numberOfTables()
    {
        return 5;
    }
};

template <typename TDatabaseManager>
class TableManager
{
    TDatabaseManager _manager;
    TableManager(const TDatabaseManager& manager)
        : _manager{manager}
    {
    }

    auto numberOfTables()
    {
        return _manager.numberOfTables();
    }
};

With this approach, you can test the functionality of the TableManager by providing a MockDBManager instance, so that you don't have to connect to the actual DB in your unit tests...
TEST(TableManager, RetrieveNumberOfTables)
{
    MockDBManager mockDBManager;
    TableManager<MockDBManager> tableManager(mockDBManager);
    EXPECT_EQ(5, tableManager.numberOfTables());
}

...but you can connect to the real DB in production code with the same TableManager interface:
void realProductionCode()
{
    ConcreteDBManager concreteDBManager;
    TableManager<ConcreteDBManager> tableManager(concreteDBManager);
    std::cout << tableManager.numberOfTables();
}


The problem is that ACMs lack any sort of peer review study. For example, a patient will claim that they took an herbal remedy, got better; therefore, the herbal remedy works. The problem with this reasoning is that it is much more likely that the malady in question would have gotten better anyways, like a bacterial infection or cold. Sometimes the remedy is due to the placebo effect. And occasionally, the product actually does positively contribute to the patient's health. Nevertheless, it is precisely because of these conflicting possibilities that scientific study, rather than individual hearsay, is most needed. If AMCs worked, then they would simply be dubbed as medicine.
It was unfortunate to see him lump alternative and complementary medicine together in this otherwise effective statement, particularly since he took care to distinguish between them just two paragraphs earlier. Still, the point about holistic medicine is well taken.
I think it makes sense to be quite skeptical of holistic medicine until such time as various remedies have been scientifically evaluated and to remember that personal anecdote is not a substitute for well-controlled studies. It isn't that some of the products might not work; it is simply that we do not presently have evidence to support their efficacy.
Atheism does not necessarily entail skepticism. Plenty of atheists are not skeptics; however, there are advantages to encouraging skepticism among atheists and the religious alike. In the context of holistic medicine, these advantages include saving money and not utilizing potentially hazardous or ineffective products. This seems to be in the interest of everyone not trying to sell holistic medicine.

There is more to "NICE Bus Routes Spared in Budget Process" by Joseph Catrone in the Dec. 14 issue. It is a four-way dance between fares paid by riders (know as farebox revenues) along with funding provided by Nassau County, New York State and the Federal government in financing public bus transportation operated by NICE. They operate a fleet of 308 buses out of the Rockville Center and Mitchell Field bus garages. NICE also operates a fleet of almost 122 Able Ride paratransit vehicles out of the Stewart Avenue facility. All three facilities were constructed by federal capital grants with local matching funds provided by Nassau County and the New York State Department of Transportation. It was the same funding sources for both construction of the Hempstead Multi-Modal Bus Terminal and Mineola Intermodal Bus Terminal/Commuter Parking Garage. All five of these initial investments combined cost almost $100 million. In today's dollars, it would be far higher.
Over time, there have been other capital investments, including routine bus and paratransit vehicle purchases, compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations, facility modifications to accommodate CNG buses inside garages, new fare collection equipment, automatic vehicle locator equipment, real time communications systems to notify riders of anticipated arrival of the next bus, shelters, bus stop signs and other support equipment necessary to run the system. Just like a homeowner, what is new today requires constant maintenance, periodic upgrades and eventual replacement years later. Capital physical assets of any bus system (including revenue vehicles along with bus facility components such as HVAC, bus washers, paint booths, engine shops, bays, pits, lifts, doors, fueling stations, lighting, security systems and many others) eventually reach the end of their useful life based upon straight-line depreciation and/or manufactures' warranty. Significant changes in technology may also require replacement of outdated equipment.
Farebox recovery rate analysis is critical in determining the frequency and continuation of service on a route-by-route basis. Fifty percent is a good transit industry standard. Some routes are higher and others lower. There are bound to be routes with a handful of riders and a very low farebox recovery rate. In these cases, difficult decisions have to be made by management for preservation of the overall system, benefiting the other 99 percent of daily riders. It is easy over time to add service, providing the financial support is available.
The riding public has a difficult time understanding why their route is subject to reduction in the frequency or elimination of all service because it has become a significant financial drain on the transit system. The costs of labor for drivers including salary, fringe and benefits, along with fueling, washing, cleaning and maintenance of equipment are major factors in determining the price of service. You also have to add depreciation over time for the life of the bus. The average cost of providing service on any bus route averages $150 or more per hour.
It has been 53 years since Nassau County took control of all bus routes from private operators. Over that time period, Nassau County, New York State and the federal governments have combined invested more than $700 million in capital improvements. Operating subsidy dollars easily top more than $1.5 billion.
NICE services continue to be one of the best bargains around. Since the 1950s, the average cost of riding a bus in Nassau County has gone up at a lower rate than either the consumer price index or inflation. The MetroCard introduced in 1996 affords a free transfer between NICE bus and the NYC Transit bus or subway. Prior to this, riders had to pay two full fares. Purchasing either a weekly or monthly pass further reduces the cost per ride. Many employers offer transit checks, which pay even more of the costs.
In the end, it all comes down to the availability of increased funding for additional transportation services to serve residents. Operating subsidies are required to increase the level of service and reduce the amount of time one waits for a bus on existing routes. Same for adding more off-peak, evening and weekend service. This also holds true for those routes periodically under discussion for elimination when there are insufficient revenues to maintain existing service.
TANSTAFL. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch—or in this case, bus ride.
