Ballast Point. Bear Republic. That's how they list alphabetically. According to the first 50 ballots submitted at TJs in Paoli, PA this past Saturday night, it's the reverse of how these breweries are ranked, though by a slim enough margin to almost call it a draw. After tasting 4 samples of each brewery, guests were asked to rank them from 1-10. (There were 11 beers in total combined from both breweries.) Here you'll see one anonymous ballot. Southeastern Pennsylvania has been under a torrent of what almost seems like daily thunderstorms (the really, really bad kind) of late. Figures as I jumped into the car to check out this event at TJs, the skies unleashed their fury. It may have deterred some, as I was surprised the bar area wasn't packed in every square inch. Either the weather, or they heard that the Pittsburgh contingent of Woody Chandler and Brian Parker was taking up residence at the bar showing off their Penguins team colors. Congrats are in order, I suppose...though, that Crosby kid...grrr. And, yet another angle from which Mr. Chandler to rail against Philadelphia...boy, am I glad he doesn't write the Philadelphia column in the brewspapers. Still, there was barely an empty seat and it was a comfortable night for the IPAs that seemed to win over the crowd the most. I had the Navigator Dopplebock just a few days earlier and was surprised to see how lowly rated it was compared to the others. Maybe that's where I had the advantage of drinking it alone with a braised short ribs sandwich the day it was tapped. If you missed out, as of this posting there was still some Ballast Point (Calico Amber, Navigator Dopplebock, Wahoo Wheat, and Big Eye IPA) and Bear Republic (Heritage, Hop Rod Rye, NorCal Pale, Racer 5 Cask, and Racer X) to be found at TJs. Get thee to TJs and polish off those suckers. The cask, I understand, is very close to the end. Quizzo tomorrow would be a great excuse to stop in to make some new discoveries and acquaintances. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that truly was not my rating card pictured above. I didn't stick around long enough to taste them all on Saturday. I did, though, go back last night to finish off my tasting (would a "credible blogger" do otherwise?!). Here would be my complete ranking: Racer 5 cask (9); Big Eye (8); Sculpin (8); NorCal(8); Dorado (7); Hop Rod (7); Racer X (7); Heritage (6); Wahoo (6); Calico (6); Navigator (???)...all of which means that it appears that I give a whisker of an edge to Bear Republic as well. Biggest Surprise? Probably the NorCal. As far as my memory goes, I've not had the NorCal before and thought this came across as a real nice, pretty well-balanced, almost session-like, beer in its moderate hopping, English malts (can someone confirm?), and medium mouthfeel. Not necessarily a lawnmower beer, but definitely one I could have all night long hanging out at the pub. The Heritage, too, was a nice smoked Scottish malt delight that I'll be keeping my eye open for during my next trip to the Bay Area. (This follow-up added after original draft.) Okay, this deserves a WTF. As in...WTF happened to the Navigator? The day it was tapped it was a real nice and solid dopplebock. Not the kind that explodes with richness and malty flavors. In that case, maybe a bock-and-a-half, instead of double. It paired extremely well with the Braised Short Rib Sandwich. But, last night at my follow-up visit? It lacked virtually any carbonation, had a distinctive smoke aroma and flavor to it. Now, it wasn't necessarily undrinkable, but man did it change and wasn't nearly as good of an experience as I had just 5 days earlier with it. I liked the approach to this night and the format. Already looking forward to the similarly-structured Battle for Michigan on July 18th, but disappointed that Jolly Pumpkin won't be included in the mix...though, some might argue that would be a tad unfair, eh? From a posting at Beer Advocate by Jeff Miller, proprietor of TJs. Sculpin 236; Racer X 224; Dorado 218.5; Racer 5 Cask 206.5; Hop Rod Rye 205.50; Big Eye 181.50; Heritage 173; Navigator 157 Winner: Best Brewery of the Night--- Bear Republic with 809 points Winner: Best Beer of the Night--- Sculpin with 236 points Ballast Point's main deficit was the Navigator... most scores were 3-5 points out of 10 for this one.

Decatur Area Students Win ADM Scholarships
DECATUR, Ill., June 12, 2013 – Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) announced today that Aaron Anderson and Allison Kerper have been awarded college scholarships through the ADM Scholarship Program."Congratulations to Aaron and Allison from all of us at ADM," said Mike D'Ambrose, ADM senior vice president, human resources. "These two students were selected to receive ADM scholarships because they have already shown remarkable dedication and commitment to their academic work, their extracurricular activities, and to their communities. We are pleased to be able to help provide them the opportunity for even more outstanding achievements in the future."
Anderson, a recent graduate of Meridian High School, would like to attend the University of North Dakota, where he plans to study petroleum engineering. His parents both work at ADM in Decatur. His father, Edward Anderson, is an environmental engineer, and his mother, Jilletta Anderson, is a human resources coordinator.
Kerper graduated from Eisenhower High School. She hopes to attend Loyola University Chicago, where she is interested in studying biological and biomedical science. Her father, Daniel Kerper, is a tax administrator at ADM. Her mother, Joanne Kerper, also works at ADM as a sensory panelist.
The ADM Scholarship Program was created to assist the children of ADM active employees with the costs associated with a college education. Winners were selected on the basis of high scores on the PSAT/NMSQT; academic record throughout high school; significant activities and contributions to the school and community; the school's recommendation of the candidate; and a student essay.
About ADM in Decatur

Q: ASP.NET MVC 2 RC Validation problem I am trying to use the validation capability of ASP.NET MVC 2 (RC)
I have a
viewmodel
public class CategoryPageViewModel
{

            public int Id { get; set; }

            [Required(ErrorMessage="Category name required")]
            public string CategoryName { get; set; }
}

action
    [HttpPost()]
    public ActionResult Create(CategoryPageViewModel categoryModel)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return View("Completed");
        }
        return View(categoryModel);

    }

view
<%= Html.ValidationSummary() %>

<% using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Category", FormMethod.Post)) {%>

    <fieldset>
        <legend>Create new category</legend>

            Category name:
            <%= Html.TextBox("CategoryName") %>
            <%= Html.ValidationMessage("CategoryName", "*")%>

            <input type="submit" value="Create" />

    </fieldset>

<% } %>

On submit it says the id field is also required but I have not set the Required attribute.
What am I doing wrong or is it a bug? This is the RC release downloaded today 26/12/09.

A: Your Create method is trying to construct a new CategoryPageViewModel from the posted form collection.
public ActionResult Create(CategoryPageViewModel categoryModel){...}

However, as your form only contains an input for CategoryName, your controller method cannot create a new CategoryPageViewModel where id is required.
You have two solutions to your problem:

*

*Make the Id in CategoryPageViewModel nullable as @Andrew mentioned.
public int? Id { get; set; }

*Recommended Solution: Keep the Id as not nullable, but render this value in your form as a hidden input. This will allow you to keep your system Id intact from controller to view and back again.
In the view add the Id as a hidden input using the following:
<%= Html.Hidden("Id") %>

A: If you don't want to pass in the Id, make it nullable ... i.e.:
public class CategoryPageViewModel
{
            public int? Id { get; set; }

            [Required(ErrorMessage="Category name required")]
            public string CategoryName { get; set; }
}

or don't include it at all.  How do you expect to perform any type of database update without an ID though?

Jonathan Mercantini, Kean University
On May 23, 1788, South Carolina became the eighth state to ratify the Federal Constitution. Although there was considerable opposition from the backcountry region, representatives from the capital, Charleston, and the surrounding lowcountry regions prevailed. This division in state politics would continue until a series of compromises were completed in 1808 balancing the representation of the two regions.
A new state constitution was adopted by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1790. This document preserved the weak executive structure that dated back to before the American Revolution. For example, the governor did not possess veto power after 1790. The governor and lieutenant governor were each elected to a two-year term and were then required to not hold the office for four years before being eligible for election again. The General Assembly was comprised of two branches, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Both bodies were elected by popular vote. Members of the House of Representatives served two-year terms. There were a total of 124 members whose districts were determined by a combination of population and the amount of taxes generated. It was through electoral innovations like this that the lowcountry region maintained its political dominance even though it possessed a minority of the state's white population. Senators were elected to four year terms.
The most significant political issue in the state during this period was balancing the interests of the lowcountry and the backcountry. Under the Constitution of 1790, the state capital was moved from Charleston, on the coast, to Columbia in the interior. Eventually, the lowcountry representatives agreed to other Constitutional amendments which increased the number of electoral districts in the backcountry region and led to a greater balance of political power.
The Federalist Party dominated South Carolina in the 1790s as it could count a number of prominent lowcountry planters among their ranks. Many South Carolinians played important roles for the Federalist Party at the national level. The Jeffersonian-Republicans, however, were rising in prominence, especially as Charles Pinckney and Pierce Butler, both of whom signed the Constitution for South Carolina, joined the rival party. Although the Federalists dominated the state until 1800, by 1804 there were no Federalists in power. South Carolina would remain a one-party state until the start of the Civil War.
The Constitution of 1790 eliminated the religious qualification for voting and holding political office in South Carolina. All free, white men who were 21 years of age, had lived in the state for two years, was a resident of the district in which he was voting, owned fifty acres of land or a town lot and paid taxes were eligible to vote. In 1810 an amendment to the state constitution eliminated the property qualification for voting, extending suffrage to all white men who had lived in the state for six months. Thus, South Carolina was among the very first states to allow universal white male suffrage.

See President of the United States for the votes cast by the Electoral College for President.
Historical Note: These elections were vastly different from modern day Presidential elections. The actual Presidential candidates were rarely mentioned on tickets and voters were voting for particular electors who were pledged to a particular candidate. There was sometimes confusion as to who the particular elector was actually pledged to. Prior to the 12th Amendment, electors were pledged to two candidates as there was no distinction made in the Electoral College between President and Vice-President.

Q: how to implement an atomic counter in aws I need to implement a kind of ticket system in aws, using only serverless technologies.  The functionality needs to be sort of like the number system at the post office:  you take a ticket, which has a number on it.  As the requestor, you know your number.  The roll shifts, and the next customer gets a number that is incremented by one.  This ticket will be requested by handlers in a lambda function, which could be getting called in parallel. I know this sounds like a global lock, and it is, but that's the requirement - please don't tell me to redesign my use-case so it's not necessary.
Nonfunctional requirements:

*

*should be globally consistent

*should be performant, ie. hundreds or, ideally, thousands of requests per second would be possible

*consistent: no duplicate numbers

*failures are ok, and retry is ok, as long as consistency is maintained.

What I've tried:

*

*Dynamodb:  I implemented a distributed lock using the go sdk and this "cirello.io/dynamolock" package.  it works but the lock/unlock cycle takes 700ms - its too slow.

*Also Dynamodb:  I used UpdateExpression and ReturnValues  in an UpdateItem call, but it's still only like 125/second from within the datacenter.

*elasticache.  Couldn't get it working because the complexity of setting up a VPC to connect the lambda, and then losing connectivity to dynamodb.  I hear you can get around this with a NAT Gateway, but by that time, your serverless framework app starts looking pretty ridiculously complex for a counter.

A: DynamoDB supports a maximum of 1000 writes per second to a single partition. If this is acceptable performance, the correct DynamoDB call is:
dynamoDB.update({
  TableName: "my-atomic-counter-db",
  Key: "my-ticket-counter",
  ReturnValues: "UPDATED_NEW",
  UpdateExpression: `SET #value = if_not_exists(#value, :start) + :increment`,
  ExpressionAttributeValues: {
    ':start': 0,
    ':increment': 1,
  },
  ExpressionAttributeNames: {
    '#value': 'value',
  },

If you need to support more than 1000 tickets per second, you can increase the 'increment' counter to a higher number, and answer 'ticket requests' as a batch. For example, send ticket requests through SQS, read messages in batches of 10, call dynamoDB with an increment value of 10, read the return value of the highest ticket, and hand out tickets from T...T-10.


ACC Portfolio applicants must be coached for a minimum of 10 hours over a minimum of 3 months by a qualified Mentor Coach. Applications may have more than one qualified Mentor Coach. You are required to have been mentor coached by a coach who holds an ACC, PCC, or MCC Credential. A minimum of 3 of the 10 mentoring hours must be one-on-one coaching with the mentor. Group coaching may count for a maximum of 7 hours toward the mentoring requirement. The group being mentored may not consist of more than 10 participants.
This requirement is intended to help applicants prepare for the credential process which will involve them submitting a recording of a coaching session and transcript of that session.

Nelson Mandela (Photo © Jürgen Schadeberg)
Prisoner 46664 is no more
Ever since Nelson Mandela died yesterday, everyone is quick to pay lip service to him on the Internet, especially on social media websites, mentioning how much of a great man he was and how much they admire what he did for humankind. It makes me sick to witness such hypocritical behavior every time. If you really think Mandela was such a great man, and if you value what he did for humankind, the best way to pay a tribute to him is to at least try and walk in his footsteps. I know that won't be easy, but if all of you hypocrites could at least manage to have even 10% of his courage, we'd be well on our way to seriously improving the world we live in.
There are so many atrocities being committed against humanity all around us, why do you continue to look away and pretend as if you see nothing? Why not speak up about it? Speaking up and sharing the information about the crimes that are being committed against humanity really is the least you could do. People don't even have the courage to do that, afraid of being politically incorrect and afraid of what they have to lose.
Even the fucking scumbag Barack Obama was quick to pay lip service to Mandela, while his drones are bombing innocent families and children in various countries in the middle east almost on a daily basis. Children are left behind badly injured, without hands and feet, with badly damaged faces, and with their homes left in rubble and their future completely ruined. And then Obama has the nerve to speak about Mandela? Fortunately I'm not the only one who sees the blatant hypocrisy here; so do the people in South Africa:
About 200 trade unionists, student activists and South African Communist Party members gathered in the capital Pretoria to protest Obama's visit this weekend, calling his foreign policy "arrogant, selfish and oppressive".
"We had expectations of America's first black president. Knowing Africa's history, we expected more," said Khomotso Makola, a 19-year-old law student.
"He has come as a disappointment, I think Mandela too would be disappointed and feel let down," Makola said.
South African critics of Obama have focused in particular on his support for U.S. drone strikes overseas, which they say have killed hundreds of innocent civilians, and his failure to deliver on a pledge to close the U.S. military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba housing terrorism suspects.
Ironically, while the US was (and still is) behaving like the biggest terrorist state on the planet, Mandela remained on the US terror watch list until 2008.
If there's one important thing we can learn from Mandela — apart from having the courage to suffer and fight for what you believe in, instead of going through life as a fucking hypocrite — it's certainly his ability to forgive. As John Dramani Mahama writes on the New York Times, "Mandela Taught a Continent to Forgive":
Freedom on the African continent was a reality for which we were willing to fight. Nevertheless, I think we'd resigned ourselves to the likelihood that Mandela would remain a prisoner until his death, and South Africans would not experience equality until well after our lifetimes. Then on Feb. 11, 1990, the miraculous happened; Mandela was released.
The world was spellbound. We wondered what we would do if we were in his shoes. We all waited for an indescribable rage, a call for retribution that any reasonable mind would have understood. Twenty-seven years of his life, gone. Day after day of hard labor in a limestone quarry, chipping away at white rock under a bright and merciless sun — without benefit of protective eyewear — had virtually destroyed his tear ducts and, for years, robbed Mandela even of his ability to cry.
Yet, the man insisted on forgiveness. "To go to prison because of your convictions," he said, "and be prepared to suffer for what you believe in, is something worthwhile. It is an achievement for a man to do his duty on earth irrespective of the consequences."
By the time I finally came face to face with Nelson Mandela, he had already been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and elected president of a land in which he and all other black people had previously been refused suffrage. He had become an icon, not only of hope, but also of the possibility for healing.
To go through what Mandela went through, and then be able to forgive, seemingly as if nothing had been done to you, is not an easy thing to do in the world we live in right now. Still too often, people's reactions are to become angry and retaliate, instead of going for a wiser approach of trying to understand and fix the root causes of the issues that are affecting us.
It's interesting that when Mandela was sentenced to prison, he became prisoner number 46664. From Wikipedia:
Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year. The prison administration's scheme of numbering prisoners was to follow the sequence number of the prisoner (466 in his case), with the last two digits of the year (64). The number was imposed on him by the prison for over 25 years, until his release in 1990. "Prisoner 46664" continues to be used as a reverential title for him.
The number 46664 is interesting in light of what I have recently explained about the number 666 in my article "Apple – The Occult Secrets behind the Brand." The number 666, better known as the number of the beast, symbolizes rebellion and divine human completeness and perfection.
666? It's in our hands? You mean like the mark of the beast according to Revelation 13:16?
Not only that, but it's also interesting that when Mandela achieved his goal in South Africa, the country became known as the "Rainbow Nation":
Rainbow Nation is a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-apartheid South Africa, after South Africa's first fully democratic election in 1994.
The phrase was elaborated upon by President Nelson Mandela in his first month of office, when he proclaimed: "Each of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld – a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world."
Rainbow Nation as in Sir Isaac Newton's rainbow colors? As in the rainbow colors of Apple Computer's logo? If you want to understand why I mention these things, read my article "Apple – The Occult Secrets behind the Brand" and you will be able to make the obvious occult connections, as well as come to understand who is behind all of this. Also keep in mind that South Africa is where humankind is said to have been created by the gods (and specifically the god Ea/Enki mentioned in ancient Sumerian texts; take a look at Michael Tellinger's research for more on this).
If I'm right, then Mandela certainly deserved to be marked by the number 666; he's a great example for humankind on its way to divine human completeness and perfection. He gave us a glimpse of the kind of human beings that will inherit the world in the future.
Update 10/12/2013: Below is what the Apple Inc. website looks like right now. It's remarkable that Apple would choose to pay tribute to Mandela in such a way, in light of the connections that I made above between Apple and Mandela.
Apple.com on 10/12/2013
No other major corporation did this. Not even Microsoft and Google. Why did Apple? Might Apple and Mandela have been inspired by the same force?
Update 11/12/2013: This is hilarious. It appears the sign language interpreter that was supposed to translate the speeches in real time at Mandela's memorial service was a fake:
The sign language interpreter used during Nelson Mandela's memorial service at Johannesburg FNB football stadium yesterday was a fraud, it has been confirmed.
South Africa's deaf federation has said that the man using sign language during the Mandela memorial was a "fake".
The man at the memorial, attended by scores of heads of state, was simply "making childish hand gestures" for hours, David Buxton, the CEO of the British Deaf Association, said.
There's more on the Telegraph. There simply wasn't a better way to make a mockery out of the blatant display of hypocrisy that the world witnessed there.
You had scumbags like Barack Obama standing there telling the world how great they think Mandela was, while they are busy bombing innocent children in other parts of the world and even boast about being good at killing people. I seriously doubt a bigger display of hypocrisy is possible.
Fake interpreter standing behind scumbag Barack Obama
That's why it was so fitting to have this fake language interpreter standing behind and making a mockery out of them, basically indicating they were telling us a load of worthless crap. This seems to me like the kind of thing Enki, the god of mischief, would come up with. And as I have mentioned above already, there's good evidence that indicates his involvement here as well.
Update 12/12/2013: The plot thickens. The above mentioned sign language interpreter, Thamsanqa Jantjie, was interviewed by the BBC about what happened that day. Check out the video interview below.
Here's some of what he said:
On the day in question, while I was working, which is not a part of an excuse, I had a breakdown, when I see angels come from the sky to the crowd. And I started knowing that I'm not well, because it's not something possible. But believe me I saw them coming on stage. From that moment, it was not myself. And from that time, you must ask yourself of your safety and security and of other people around you.
It seems to me, in light of what I explained above about the connections with Apple and Enki, and assuming he's speaking the truth, that there can be no doubt anymore about what exactly happened.
Update 14/12/2013: The Washington Post reports:
A South African deputy minister said Thursday that the man who turned out to be faking sign language as an interpreter for the deaf during Tuesday's memorial event for Nelson Mandela did not speak English very well and worked for a company that has "vanished into thin air."
"He is just making gestures which does not make any sense," said Thelma Kotze, a sign-language interpreter for SABC News who only saw Jantje's performance later. "It's not worthy of being called an interpretation. . . . We said on a light note that he was doing the macarena."
Comedy gold. I keep saying it, but this was an excellent way to make a mockery out of the charade presented to us by world "leaders" on that day.
Update 16/12/2013: According to an article on The Guardian:
And was this also not the truth about the whole of the Mandela memorial ceremony? All the crocodile tears of the dignitaries were a self-congratulatory exercise, and Jangtjie translated them into what they effectively were: nonsense. What the world leaders were celebrating was the successful postponement of the true crisis which will explode when poor, black South Africans effectively become a collective political agent. They were the Absent One to whom Jantjie was signalling, and his message was: the dignitaries really don't care about you. Through his fake translation, Jantjie rendered palpable the fake of the entire ceremony.

Blog: Entrepreneurial Action for Others Creates a Better World for Us All
Louise Drake
Former Project Engagement Manager
Save to my RSA
The power of positive change lies with the power of people. This week sees 3,500 student, business and academic leaders get together in South Africa for the Enactus Global World Cup competition.
One of the things that attracted me to want to work at the RSA is the 27,000 strong Fellowship who want to achieve global social change. I have also been privileged in previous roles to get to see the power of people through the Enactus UK network, a recent RSA partner, who have for the last decade built their network to work with over 2,800 students. Working across 53 universities annually, impacting over 58,400 people. Enactus is an international organisation that connects student, academic and business leaders through entrepreneurial-based projects that empower people to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities.
Take a look at the video below and you can see for yourselves there are some truly inspiring students with some outstanding projects having impact across the world. Take, for instance, some of the National UK winners of the Enactus Global World Cup Competition over the last few years. Here, as an example, is the University of Southampton presenting at the Global World Cup competition in 2013.
Do you feel inspired? Now is your chance to get involved with the Enactus UK team as a mentor. King's College London's SleepCoat project was inspired by the need to provide appropriate clothing for people living homeless. Could you support a developed project like this and bring it to scale? Or could you help a fledgling team to understand the social challenges in their area and develop innovative solutions?
Enactus UK are seeking FRSA who would like to be Social Sector Advisers. Together with the team's University Advisers, business advisers and Enactus UK staff, they will form a vital part of the team's support network and will offer students a valuable source of knowledge and experience. This is an ongoing mentoring opportunity throughout the academic year.
Alternatively, if you have training experience or would like to get involved in the Enactus UK training days, covering anything from market research to impact measurement, the next will be held on Sat 7th November in Grantham.
For more information email Rachel Munns FRSA [email protected]

'Young and Restless' spoilers; Reed recast with a teen, Faith next to be SORAS'ed?
Reed will be coming to Genoa City with a bone to pick with his mother, Victoria. Will Faith be the next character to be SORAS'ed?
"The Young and the Restless" spoilers tease tense moments are ahead on the CBS soap opera. CBS Soaps In Depth reported that Tristan Lake Leabu would be the new Reed, Victoria's son with J.T. He is expected to come to Genoa City with a bone to pick with his mom and may have tough questions about what happened when she lost custody.
Reed was last seen in 2015 when Max Page played the child. He has rarely been seen in the past few years, only to be mentioned now and then. "The Young and the Restless" fans expect him to come to Genoa City, possibly with his dad, J.T.
(Thad Luckinbill ) and step-mama, MacKenzie (Clementine Ford) in tow. He may have tough questions for his mama, starting with why she picked Newman Enterprises and her loyalty to her dad, Victor (Eric Braeden) over him. It will be interesting to see how Victoria handles having a teenager, and see what the soap opera has in store for the lad.
Laebu's first role was as Lios Lane's son in "Superman Returns" in 2006.
Since then, he's appeared in many television shows and movies. The role of Reed is his first daytime role, but the young actor is clearly thrilled about the new job. He took a picture of himself walking in the CBS Studios parking lot. His scenes should appear in time for February sweeps.
Faith next to be soras'ed?
Soras stands for soap opera rapid aging syndrome. Reed was born in 2007 with Faith born in 2009. It's safe to say before long, Faith will be aged to a bratty teenager, armed with a new set of parenting problems for Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case).
The actor who portrays Faith is busy, and often appears in commercials and made-for-TV movies. Most recently she reprised the role of little Dolly Parton in the movie, "Christmas of Many Colors."
It won't be long before the fans get their first look at Victoria's teenage son, Reed on "The Young and the Restless." Are you excited to see what is in store for Victoria's son, Reed? Will Faith be the next child to rapidly age in the next few months?

Toyota to build plant in N.C. capable of making up to 1.2 million batteries a year
Toyota will be building a new $1.3 billion battery plant near Liberty, North Carolina where they plan to produce 1.2 million EV batteries per year.
Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina is expected to start producing batteries in 2025.
State and local governments are giving Toyota an incentive package of more than $435 million over 20 years if the project meets certain benchmarks.
Toyota to build plant in N.C. capable of making up to 1.2M batteries a year
The $1.3 billion plant will eventually make batteries for as many as 1.2 million hybrid, plug-in hybrid and BEVs per year, the automaker said.
Toyota Motor North America is planning to build a $1.3 billion battery plant near the small town of Liberty, N.C., where the Japanese automaker plans to eventually produce enough lithium ion batteries to power up to 1.2 million vehicles per year.
News of the location leaked last month.
Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina is expected to begin production in 2025 with four production lines, each capable of producing batteries to power 200,000 vehicles, the company said. The plant, to be co-owned and operated by Toyota and subsidiary Toyota Tsusho, is expected to later be expanded to six production lines. The automaker said the venture is expected to create 1,750 jobs. Liberty is in Randolph County, about 20 miles southeast of Greensboro, in the central part of the state.
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that "state and local governments offered an incentive package of more than $435 million over 20 years if the project in Randolph County meets investment benchmarks." The Journal cited state sources saying that the jobs at the plant "would pay roughly $62,000 a year on average."
As part of the announcement, Toyota committed to using "100 percent renewable energy" at the new battery plant, which will make batteries for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and eventually electric vehicles.
The site upon which it will be built is 1,825 acres. Toyota did not disclose the size of the battery plant, however a company spokesperson said it will not take up the entire site. The company did not disclose what it will do with the remaining acreage.
Toyota also did not specify which vehicles or assembly plants its new battery plant will feed, or whether they will be hybrids or full battery-electric vehicles such as its planned bZ4X crossover, which it showed to journalists last month in Southern California. Initial production of Toyota's EVs for sale in the U.S. is to be in Japan, though the company has said it ultimately plans to build EVs for sale in North America on the continent.
Here's the official press release from Toyota.
Toyota Selects North Carolina Greensboro-Randolph Site for New U.S. Automotive Battery Plant - Toyota USA Newsroom
LIBERTY, N.C. (Dec. 6, 2021) – Today, Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Mayor Filmore York of Liberty, North Carolina, joined Toyota Motor North America's leaders to announce Greensboro-Randolph Megasite has been chosen as the location for Toyota's new $1.29 billion automotive battery...

Plant is first to produce automotive batteries for Toyota in North America, enough battery packs for 1.2 million electrified vehicles per year
LIBERTY, N.C. (Dec. 6, 2021) – Today, Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Mayor Filmore York of Liberty, North Carolina, joined Toyota Motor North America's leaders to announce Greensboro-Randolph Megasite has been chosen as the location for Toyota's new $1.29 billion automotive battery manufacturing plant, to be named, Toyota Battery Manufacturing, North Carolina (TBMNC).
When it comes online in 2025, TBMNC will have four production lines, each capable of delivering enough lithium-ion batteries for 200,000 vehicles—with the intention to expand to at least six production lines for a combined total of up to 1.2 million vehicles per year.
The $1.29 billion investment made by Toyota and Toyota Tsusho is partially funded from a total investment of approximately $3.4 billion previously announced on October 18, and is expected to create 1,750 new American jobs.
"The future of mobility is electrification and the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite is the ideal location to make that future a reality," said Ted Ogawa, CEO of Toyota Motor North America. "North Carolina offers the right conditions for this investment, including the infrastructure, high-quality education system, access to a diverse and skilled workforce, and a welcoming environment for doing business. Today marks the beginning of a mutually beneficial partnership with the Tar Heel state as we embark on our journey to achieve carbon neutrality and provide mobility for all."
"I'm glad that Toyota Battery Manufacturing has chosen to call North Carolina home," said Governor Cooper. "This investment in our state is a testament to our world class workforce and growing economy. North Carolina is working hard every day toward a clean energy future and projects like this will help us get there."
In determining the location for the new plant, Toyota was interested in renewable energy availability as well as support from local stakeholders, including governments, utilities, partners, and others. Candidates for the site were narrowed down based on these requirements and Greensboro-Randolph Megasite met and exceeded these needs with:
An extensive and well-maintained highway system for overland logistics
Four international airports and two seaports
Onsite rail
An outstanding, diverse workforce
Renewable energy availability
World-renowned education system
Strong government partnership at both the state and local levels
In addition, as the company continues its efforts to reach carbon neutrality for its vehicles and operations by 2050, Toyota is committed to using 100% renewable energy at this new facility to produce the batteries.

Brother Shares A Life
Jo Heather C. Layton
1-800-MARROW-2
In June 1987, Wayne Kelly learned about the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) through his work at the American Red Cross. The NMDP program was created in 1987 to provide bone marrow transplants from volunteer, unrelated donors to patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia, lymphomas, and other life-threatening diseases.
Kelly decided to become involved and had the blood test required to become registered in the program. When asked why he chose to become a bone marrow donor, he said, "The bottom line is that I feel we are placed here to help others, and I would like to think somebody would do the same for me."
It wasn't until February of 1991 that the registry contacted him for a second stage of testing to find out if he was the match needed by a patient waiting for a transplant. By May, Kelly moved onto a third stage testing and, one month later, he received a formal request for a bone marrow donation. At that time, it was very rare for nonrelated donors to give bone marrow to patients, and Kelly was the first to have the procedure performed at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville, North Carolina.
Editor's Note: This article continues the story of Bro. Wayne E. Kelly's contributions to mankind. Bro. Kelly (pictured right) is a member of Norview Lodge No. 113 and a 32 Mason in the Valley of Norfolk, Virginia. He was featured in two previous Scottish Rite Journal articles about donating blood, both whole and aphersis, and bone marrow (Feb. 1992 and Aug. 1993). The present article was requested from the Red Cross by Ill. Goodwin B. Spencer, 33, Editor of the Scottish Rite Mirror, Valley of Norfolk, and Secretary of Norview Lodge No. 113 which with 768 members is the largest Lodge in Virginia.
"The procedure was not that complicated. I was given general anesthesia, and the harvesting was done from the flat bone across the back of my pelvis," explains Kelly. "The procedure was done on a Thursday, and I returned to work on Monday." The donor is usually kept overnight for observation, and the donor's marrow replenishes itself within a few weeks.
Kelly's donation saved the life of a 31-year-old patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (AML). One year later, Kelly and his recipient, Donald Creighton, met. "Without Wayne's donation, I had no chance of survival," revealed Creighton. "I am very thankful to have been given a second chance."
Amazingly enough, Kelly was requested for a third stage of testing again this past September. "It is very rare for this to occur, but Wayne was asked to donate bone marrow for a second time," said Sherry Challenor, Bone Marrow Recruitment Manager in the Norfolk, Virginia, area. "He donated at Sentara Norfolk General, and it was the second transplant for a patient suffering from acute leukemia. To date, we know that the recipient is doing better than before the transplant, but is experiencing Graft vs. Host disease infections. The family of the patient is very thankful for Wayne's Gift of Life."
"Because I work in an operating room, I didn't have any fears going into either one of the bone marrow surgeries," explained Kelly. He is an Intraoperative Autologous Transfusion (IAT) Technician for the American Red Cross and has been with the organization for almost sixteen years. "I felt at peace knowing I was in good, well-trained, competent hands."
There is an urgent need for more volunteers on the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. Because the characteristics that determine a match are genetic, it is most likely that, outside his or her own family, a patient will match a donor within his or her own racial group. As of June 1, 1995, the NMDP has facilitated 3,463 unrelated bone marrow transplants throughout the world.
Each year, 30,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases for which a marrow transplant can be a cure. Marrow is a liquid organ found inside larger bones of the body. The likelihood that an individual will find an unrelated marrow donor varies greatly depending on how often the person's tissue type occurs in the population.
Individuals between the ages of 18 and 55 who are in good health can be potential donors for the program. The whole tissue typing process, including paperwork and drawing two vials of blood for typing, takes only 15 minutes. Share Life. Join the NMDP Registry and give all patients an equal chance of finding a matched donor. For more information about National Marrow Donor Program and to schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-MARROW-2.


Nos. 107 and 109 are two identical five-story, four-bay brick tenement buildings, each adorned with a semicircular metal cornice. The lintels and window sills are likely cast iron. The original buildings date from 1836-1839 and were increased from 3.5 stories to five stories during an 1873 alteration as seen in the permit.
According to MoMA's Inside/Out blog, which cites the book Claes Oldenburg: Writing on the Side 1956–1969, sculptor Claes Oldenburg opened "The Store" at this address in 1961. Here, he featured and sold everyday objects that he had constructed in the rear portion of the space using plaster and other materials. In the store windows, he imitated the layouts in which these items would typically be sold in other, nearby stores.

Pedra da Gávea, Rio de janeiro / Brasil
© All rights reserved - by Ulysses Padilha
Pedra da Gávea is a monolithic mountain in Tijuca Forest, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Composed of granite and gneiss, its elevation is 844 metres (2,769 ft), making it one of the highest mountains in the world that ends directly in the ocean. Trails on the mountain were opened up by the local farming population in the early 1800s; today, the site is under the administration of the Tijuca National Park.
The mountain's name translates as Rock of the Topsail, and was given to it during the expedition of Captain Gaspar de Lemos, begun in 1501, and in which the Rio de Janeiro bay (today Guanabara Bay, but after which the city was named) also received its name. The mountain, one of the first in Brazil to be named in Portuguese, was named by the expedition's sailors, who compared its silhouette to that of the shape of a topsail of a carrack upon sighting it on January 1, 1502. That name in turn came to be given to the Gávea area of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Differential weathering on one side of the rock has created what is described as a stylized human face. Markings on another face of the rock have been described as an inscription. Geologists and scientists are nearly in agreement that the "inscription" is the result of erosion and that the "face" is a product of pareidolia. Furthermore, the consensus of archaeologists and scholars in Brazil is that the mountain should not be viewed as an archaeological site.

What do Shoreditch House, Panzo pizzeria on Exmouth Market, and a homeware shop in Hong Kong have in common? They're all home to Falcon Enamelware, the old-fashioned British kitchen brand enjoying a cult revival.
You know Falcon, even if you don't know you know it. Those white pie dishes with a blue trim? That's Falcon Enamelware. Once a staple of the British kitchen, the brand faded into relative obscurity before a small band of designers decided to give it a modern update in 2011. In 2015 they opened a tiny showroom on Rosebery Avenue, where your granny's favourite pie dishes now lure buyers from the world's most stylish stores and restaurant groups.
Falcon Enamelware was established in the 1920s by an entrepreneur called Joe Kleiner. The dishes were made in the West Midlands. Not much is known about Kleiner, or the early days of the brand, but he wasn't the first to produce enamel cookware. "It first became popular in the 19th Century, when pots and pans manufacturers developed the enamelling process: coating cast iron and lighter-weight steel with the enamel glaze, which made it more sanitary and easier to clean," explains Falcon director, Peter Hames.
Enamelware is tough. It's oven-safe up to 270°C, can be used on both gas and electric hobs without burning, and – admittedly not a concern in the 19th Century – it's dishwasher safe. If you drop it, it will only chip, not break. For fans and collectors, this is all part of its charm. By the time Kleiner set up Falcon in the 1920s, many countries had their own colourway for enamelware. Falcon's famous white with a blue trim was the British combination.
During the Second World War, enamelware was used in hospitals because of its durability and chemical-resistant glaze. Falcon enamelware was passed down through families, but its popularity waned in the latter half of the 20th Century, as newfangled kitchen gadgets like non-stick and stainless steel pans came into vogue. It was still made, albeit in smaller quantities, and production moved to the Far East in the 1970s.
Fast-forward to 2011. A band of like-minded designers, Kiwi & Pom, Morse Studio and Peter Hames, decided that Falcon Enamelware, with its utilitarian design, was due a revival. In collaboration with the manufacturer, they revived the brand, with a few tweaks. The edges of its dishes and cups are now smoother (so you won't cut your lip having a cuppa), and they've added some new colourways alongside the famous white and blue.
At the showroom, a former antiques shop, you can see the new hues: Pillarbox Red, Pigeon Grey and Coal Black. Two more shades, in sage and forest green, are planned for 2017. "It makes sense for our showroom to be in Clerkenwell," says Falcon's GM Rebecca Lucraft. "It's such a design-led area, and a foodie one too – and our brand is all about food and cooking." Falcon 2.0 formed in Clerkenwell, says Lucraft, with several of its directors based in the area. They decided to open the showroom "to make things more official". The white room, its open shelves lined with Falcon dishes, and hooks hung with its aprons and tea towels, is a minimal, modern showcase for the brand.
Buyers from the world's coolest home stores (including Liberty and Heal's) and hotels can pay a visit. Giving Falcon a 21st Century makeover hasn't made fans – or the Falcon team – immune to the charms of the original. Lucraft inherited her grandmother's enamelware, and the team "collect the odd bits" when they spot them at vintage fairs, as they are "good for reference". If they've got a few chips, then so much the better. "It's all part of enamelware's beauty," she adds.

SUBJECT: THE ARAB LEAGUE ON AFRICAN AFFAIRS
REF: A. CAIRO 129 B. STATE 7606 Classified By: Minister Counselor for Economic and Political Affairs William R. Stewart for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1.(C) Summary: The Arab League (AL) advisor on to SYG Moussa on African Affairs told us on January 29 that the January 14 Arab-African Coordination meetings in Doha benefited the Arab League and African Union (AU), but did not produce any tangible results. He said this is because everyone in Sudan is waiting for the ICC indictment decision on Sudanese President Bashir. The AL and AU are still pushing for an Article 16 postponement of the ICC indictment to avoid instability in Sudan. On a separate front, UN/AU Mediator for Darfur Bassole and the Qatari Government have obtained commitments from two rebel groups to attend peace talks in Doha, but still lack a Fur representative.
2.(C) Summary Continued: The AL is somewhat optimistic on Somalia due to the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces and the meeting of Somali leaders in Djibouti. However, the AL told Shaykh Sharif during a recent visit to Cairo that he must act like a Somali national leader and not a factional one to gain the League's support. The League is also excited to be part of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS) and plans to be most heavily involved in the judicial aspects group headed by Denmark. End Summary. -------------------------------- Waiting for the ICC Shoe to Drop --------------------------------
3.(C) Zeid al-Sabban, Advisor to the Arab League (AL) Secretary General on African Affairs, told us on January 29 that the Arab-African Coordination meetings in Doha on January 14 benefited the AL and African Union (AU). However, there were no concrete results because everyone is waiting for the ICC's decision on the arrest warrant for Sudanese President Bashir. Sabban stated that the AL and AU agreed that there was a need to invoke Article 16 of the Rome Statue, delaying the ICC indictment against Bashir. He told us that the AU and AL were concerned that ICC actions against Bashir were "recreating the Kony case" and could lead to further violence and instability. (Note: Sabban stated that an AU representative, in Doha, opined that the ICC's issuance of an arrest warrant against Lord's Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony made a peace agreement in Uganda impossible. End note.) Sabban told us that the AL and AU want to see an enactment of Article 16 followed by parallel peace talks and legal discussions to arrive at a complete solution to the problems in Sudan. He said both the AL and AU are aware that only five UNSC members support an Article 16 and emphasized that "abstentions could be critical to enacting the measure." --------------------------------------------- ------ Qatar and Bassole Searching for Rebel Participation --------------------------------------------- ------
4.(C) Sabban told us that Bassole and the Qatari Government were working closely together in their respective roles as chief mediator and host for possible talks on Darfur. Both have made trips to Paris and London to try to enlist Sudanese rebel groups to participate in peace talks with the Government of Sudan (GOS). Sabban told us that the AL, AU and Qataris wanted to avoid "another Abuja Agreement," where only one party signed the peace accord. Additionally, he said that the GOS told the AL that bilateral talks with rebel groups will "lead to nowhere" and it only wants "comprehensive talks." Sabban stated that Bassole and Qatar obtained a commitment from the JEM and SLM/A-Unity leader Abdallah Yahya to attend the future Doha talks. However, he told us that there is "no breakthrough" on convincing rebel leader Abdel Wahid al-Nur to participate. Sabban stated that Nur's participation was not essential, but there is a need for strong Fur representation in the talks because "it is impossible to have a peace agreement on Darfur without the participation of the Fur." The AL also wanted to make sure that "civil society groups" (i.e. Arab tribes and internally displaced groups) participate in the talks as well. Sabban stated that Darfur leader Minni Minnawi is upset that the AL and AU are courting the JEM to get the group to participate in the Doha talks. He told us that SYG Moussa invited CAIRO 00000208 002 OF 002 Minnawi to Cairo to discuss the issue, but that the date had been postponed due to the situation in Gaza. -------------------------- Questions on U.S. Position --------------------------
5.(SBU) Sabban asked if the USG had a position on Article 16 or would the U.S. abstain during a UNSC vote. He also queried us on who would be the new US Special Envoy for Sudan. He stated that the AL was hoping for someone like John Danforth because he was "focused" on the issues and not distracted by other duties. ----------------------------------- Some Optimism on Somalia and Piracy -----------------------------------
6.(C) Sabban said that the recent withdraw of Ethiopian troops from Somalia represented a "great opportunity" to establish "peace and stability" there. He said the Arab League supports the Djibouti process and hopes for a Somali president that can unite the people. Sabban told us that the AL told Shaykh Sharif Shaykh Ahmed during his recent visit to Cairo that he must "act like a Somali national leader and not a factional leader to get the League's support" (reftel A). The AL will not give money to the new Somali leader in advance of "results" as it had done with former Somali President Abdallahi Yusuf.
7.(SBU) Sabban told us AL SYG Moussa was pleased that the AL was included in the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS) (reftel B). He said that the League feels that the division into four working groups is a good idea and it will be involved in all four groups. However, the AL is most anxious to be involved in the judicial aspects group, hosted by Denmark, because "there is a need to update the legal codes relating to the piracy issue" (NFI). The Office of the Secretary General will oversee all interaction with the CGPCS, and the point of contact will be Zeid al-Sabban. ----------------------------- No Interference in Mauritania -----------------------------
8.(C) Sabban told us that the AL and AU had "frank" discussions on Mauritania. The AL is not supporting or condemning the current regime in Mauritania because, unlike the AU, it has no mechanism for condemnation. However, Sabban stated that the AL realizes the time, money, and energy that went into bringing democracy to Mauritania, and it wants to see democracy return to the country. He said that AL Assistant SYG for Political Affairs Ahmed Bin Hili helped to lay the groundwork for internal reconciliation in the country, but the AL refused a request to mediate between the coup leaders and the former government because it did not want to interfere in "internal politics."
9.(C) Comment: The AL and AU are trying to get a sense of how UNSC countries feel about Article 16 before pushing the idea in New York. While Sabban highlighted the benefits of an Article 16 resolution on the stability of Sudan, he stopped short of asking for a U.S. abstention. The AL may not push an Article 16 resolution if it feels that it will lose. The recent Gaza crisis forced African affairs to take a back seat at the Arab League. The Arab-African Coordination meeting was postponed for 11 days, and SYG Moussa's meeting with Darfuri leader Minni Minnawi still needs to be rescheduled. These actions will likely further entrench in the minds of many Sudanese that the AL and Government of Qatar are not concerned with Africans and are biased toward Arabs, as represented by the current regime in Khartoum.

Qatar '22: Iran beat Wales with 2 late goals
Iran players celebrating
Wales' first World Cup for 64 years looks set to end at the first hurdle after a heartbreaking - but deserved - last-ditch defeat by Iran in Qatar.
Substitute Rouzbeh Cheshmi struck from 20 yards deep into stoppage time, before Ramin Rezaeian finished off a counter-attack to seal victory for a revitalised Iran side, who have renewed hope of reaching the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
As they did in their opening draw with the United States, Wales started poorly and had the video assistant referee (VAR) to thank for disallowing a goal from Iran's Ali Gholizadeh for offside.
In one of the most highly charged atmospheres of this World Cup, Iran's players sang their national anthem this time - having declined to do so before their opening loss to England in an apparent show of support for anti-government protests in their country - but their own fans booed the anthem and some could be seen crying in the stands.
Roared on by the fervent and almost entirely Iranian crowd, Carlos Queiroz's side were extremely unlucky not to score early in the second half as Sardar Azmoun and Gholizadeh both struck the post within the space of a few seconds.
Wales were utterly ragged and, as they pushed forward in search of the late winning goal they desperately needed, a long ball over the top left the defence exposed and their onrushing goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent off - after a VAR check - for a reckless challenge on Mehdi Taremi.
That set the seal on Wales' fate for this match and, in all likelihood, their hopes of reaching the second round.
While Robert Page's men were just as disjointed as they were against the USA, Iran were unrecognisable from the team thrashed 6-2 by England in their first match and fully deserved this win which breathes new life into their ambitions of progressing to the last 16.
Wales now face the formidable challenge of needing to win their final group match on Tuesday against England, who take on the United States later on Friday.
It is not impossible but, based on how the Group B teams have fared so far in Qatar, Wales' first World Cup for 64 years looks like it is in serious danger of ending at the earliest stage.
Wales rue another sloppy performance
Having been absent from World Cups since 1958, Wales marked their emotional and long-awaited return to football's grandest stage with a 1-1 draw against the United States at the same stadium on Monday.
They seemed overawed by the magnitude of that occasion during a first half in which they were overrun and outplayed by the USA, but were much improved after the half-time introduction of Kieffer Moore.
The Bournemouth striker started this time and, while his presence gave Wales an added dimension in attack, they were still as worryingly porous in midfield as they had been against the States.
Iran sensed that weakness and pressed their opponents high up the pitch, prompting panic among Welsh midfielders and defenders, particularly on the break.
Despite their vulnerability through the middle, where Page had stuck with the same selection, Wales looked more dangerous when they played with width, and it was Moore who stood to benefit.
Connor Roberts found the 6ft 5in forward with a fine cross from the right in the 13th minute and, although Moore stretched to connect with a volley, it was straight at goalkeeper Hossein Hosseini.
Roberts' next involvement three minutes later was less distinguished as his cross-field pass was cut out near his own penalty area and allowed Sardar Azmoun to tee up Gholizadeh to finish into an empty net. There was no flag at first but, after a swift VAR check, the goal was disallowed for offside.
Azmoun himself headed the next chance over as Wales struggled to get a hold of the game. Fortunately for them, as energetic and well-drilled as Iran were, they did not create much in the way of genuine scoring opportunities.
Wales slow to make changes
Despite the clear issues his side faced in the first half, Page made no changes at half-time.
Just as his inability to heed the lessons from the USA game invited Iranian pressure in the first half, Page's inaction on this occasion forced Wales on to the back foot during the second half.
They were extremely fortunate not to fall behind five minutes after the restart as Iran hit the post twice in the space of a few seconds.
First Azmoun struck a right-footed effort which cannoned off the woodwork and fell to Gholizadeh, whose curling left-footed shot hit the other post. Azmoun was the first to react but his rebound was smothered by Hennessey.
Wales were a mess at this point, their defence harassed and given next to no protection from the players in front of them.
Those struggles made it impossible to attack with any cohesion, rendering Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey almost obsolete.
It was a dispiriting sight for Wales fans to watch these two greats - heroes of the past two European Championships - reduced to peripheral figures on this occasion.
Wales still threw themselves forward in the vague hope of forcing a late winner but that desperation was their undoing when Hennessey was sent off for a high boot on Taremi.
The day belonged to Iran, who left it late to secure the victory they richly deserved.
Given too much time by Wales' tiring bodies, Cheshmi unleasehd a superb strike from 20 yards which whistled into the bottom corner to prompt wild celebrations.
Then with Wales even more exposed, it was left to Rezaeian to apply a delicate finishing touch as Iran surged to victory, knowing another against the USA will secure their passage to the second round for the first time in their history.
