Sainte Genevieve County, often abbreviated Ste. Genevieve County (French: Ste-Geneviève), is a county located in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2020 census, the population was 18,479. The largest city and county seat is Ste. Genevieve. The county was officially organized on October 1, 1812, and is named after the Spanish district once located in the region, after Saint Genevieve, patroness of Paris, France.

It includes Ste. Genevieve, the earliest settlement west of the Mississippi River outside New Spain, and one of the French colonial mid-Mississippi valley villages. It is one of the last places where Paw Paw French is still spoken.

History

Ste. Genevieve County is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River approximately  south of St. Louis. Ste. Genevieve is the principal town and the county seat of Ste. Genevieve County with a population of around 5,000 people.

Ste. Genevieve was the first permanent civilized settlement in Missouri. The actual date of establishment is, like many other dates, connected to genealogy. Sources do not agree on the year of founding. According to Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri, and most of the descendants of the early settlers, 1735 is the most generally accepted date. Dr. Carl J. Ekberg, in his book, Colonial Ste. Genevieve, suggests that Ste. Genevieve was founded closer to 1750, based on interpretations of early letters, maps, and Catholic Church documents. Ste. Genevieve is about 250 years old.

The village of Ste. Genevieve was originally included in what was known as the Illinois Country. This was generally accepted to be all the land claimed by the French from the mouth of the Ohio River, north to the Great Lakes, and including the valleys of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio rivers. The French established their seat of government for this territory in New Orleans. What is now Missouri became part of Upper Louisiana Territory. Early French explorers and settlers were known to have been in the Ste. Genevieve area in the very early 18th century.

Salt was a very important commodity at the time, used in the preservation of foods and curing of animal hides. The early French settlers were quick to exploit the salt springs on Saline Creek just south of Ste. Genevieve. Mineral explorations attracted Renault and La Motte to the area. Some of the earliest lead mines were named for La Motte in nearby Madison County.

Probably the biggest factor in the establishment of Ste. Genevieve was agriculture. Across the Mississippi River in Fort de Chartres and Kaskaskia, there was a growing need for agricultural land for the colonists. Across the Mississippi from Fort Kaskaskia was a large fertile section of river bottom, called the "Grand Champ" or Big Field. The "Old Town" of Ste. Genevieve was originally located here. It was approximately three miles south of the present site of Ste. Genevieve.

The village of Ste. Genevieve was originally an offshoot of the older French communities on the east bank of the Mississippi River—Cahokia, Kaskaskia, village of Chartres, Prairie du Rocher, and St. Philippe. The rich agricultural lands of the river bottoms were main attractions that lured most all of the early French pioneers to Ste. Genevieve. All the civil and legal business of Ste. Genevieve was transacted at Kaskaskia until about 1766 when the first commandant, Philippe de Rocheblave, was installed at Ste. Genevieve. By that time, more French migrants moved to the village from east of the river to escape British rule after France's defeat in the Seven Years War.

Townspeople relocated Ste. Genevieve to its present higher location from the river bottoms after the devastating floods of 1785. According to a sworn statement by Julien Labriere, in October 1825, "there were about fifty or sixty cabins in the old village. The old village was overflowed so as to be on the tops of houses. The water in many places was twelve or fifteen feet deep." The Mississippi River was the main travel route in the early decades, when  it served as a means of transportation for travelers both across, and up and down the river. The first commercial ferry between Ste. Genevieve and the Illinois side was established about 1800.

When Missouri was first being settled, the Osage Native Americans were the only tribe between the Osage River and the Mississippi. They were of the same stock as the Sioux and were hostile to the whites. Around 1787, the Spanish government, which had acquired the territory from France in 1762, brought in a band of Shawnee and Delaware Native Americans, who had been friendly to the French, to help protect the settlers from the Osage.

After the French had established and settled Ste. Genevieve, the first English-speaking American settlers started showing up in about 1788, and trickled upriver from Cape Girardeau and New Madrid. Starting about 1794, after the American Revolutionary War, newly independent Americans began migrating into the Ste. Genevieve District from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

The flow increased in the early nineteenth century. In 1800, France reacquired Louisiana from Spain, and in 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte I sold it to the United States as the Louisiana Purchase. U.S. officials took over in 1804. They formed Ste. Genevieve County in 1812 as an original county of the Louisiana Territory, from the old Ste. Genevieve District. It is bordered on the east by the Mississippi River, on the north by Jefferson County, on the west by St. Francois County, and on the south by Perry County.

Starting around 1840, German Catholics began settling around New Offenburg and Zell. Shortly after wardGerman Lutherans began spreading into Ste. Genevieve from Perry County. But as late as 1930, most residents of Ste Genevieve were Catholic.

Politics

Local
Historically, Democrats controlled local politics in Ste. Genevieve County.  However, in recent years this has changed.  In 2018, Claudia Stuppy became the first Republican elected in over 20 years to a countywide position, and longtime sheriff Gary Stolzer switched parties from Democratic to Republican.

State
Ste. Genevieve County is divided into two legislative districts in the Missouri House of Representatives.

 District 115 is currently represented by Elaine Gannon (R-De Soto). Consists of the extreme northern part of the county along the Jefferson County line.

 District 116 is currently represented by Dale Wright (politician) (R-Farmington). Consists of most of the entire county.

All of Ste. Genevieve County is a part of Missouri's 3rd District in the Missouri Senate and is currently represented by Elaine Freeman Gannon (R-De Soto, Missouri). The 3rd Senatorial District consists of Iron, Reynolds,  St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve and Washington counties and part of Jefferson County.

Federal

Ste. Genevieve County is included in Missouri's 8th Congressional District and is currently represented by Jason T. Smith (R-Salem) in the U.S. House of Representatives. Smith won a special election on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, to finish out the remaining term of U.S. Representative Jo Ann Emerson (R-Cape Girardeau). Emerson announced her resignation a month after being reelected with over 70 percent of the vote in the district. She resigned to become CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative.

Political culture

Unlike many other rural counties throughout Missouri, Ste. Genevieve was once a reliably Democratic stronghold in presidential elections. From 1948 to 2008, the county voted Democratic at every election except the national Republican landslides of 1952, 1956, 1972 and 1984. George W. Bush lost Ste. Genevieve County both times in 2000 and 2004; in the latter election, it was one of only four county-level jurisdictions (the independent city of St. Louis, St. Louis County and Jackson County) that voted for John Kerry. Unlike other rural counties throughout Missouri, Ste. Genevieve County was one of only nine counties in Missouri that favored Barack Obama over John McCain in 2008. The Democratic dominant streak in Ste. Genevieve County, however, was broken in 2012 when Mitt Romney carried it by three points over now-President Obama. This was the first time that a Republican presidential nominee had won Ste. Genevieve County since Ronald Reagan carried the county in his landslide reelection bid in 1984. In 2016, Republican Donald Trump, who received much more working class support than a typical Republican which could be seen across many working class and rural counties all across the country just like Ste. Genevieve county received 64% in the county, the most of any Presidential candidate since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and the most of any Republican candidate ever.

Like most rural counties throughout Missouri, voters in Ste. Genevieve County generally adhere to socially and culturally conservative principles but are more moderate or populist on economic issues. Its character is similar to those of Yellow Dog Democratic counties in the South. In 2004, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman—it overwhelmingly passed Ste. Genevieve County with 75.25 percent of the vote. The initiative passed the state with 71 percent of support from voters as Missouri became the first state to ban same-sex marriage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to fund and legalize embryonic stem cell research in the state—it failed in Ste. Genevieve County with 56.22 percent voting against the measure. The initiative narrowly passed the state with 51 percent of support from voters as Missouri became one of the first states in the nation to approve embryonic stem cell research. Despite Ste. Genevieve County's longstanding tradition of supporting socially conservative platforms, voters in the county have a penchant for advancing populist causes like increasing the minimum wage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a proposition (Proposition B) to increase the minimum wage in the state to $6.50 an hour—it passed Ste. Genevieve County with 79.26 percent of the vote. The proposition strongly passed every single county in Missouri with 78.99 percent voting in favor as the minimum wage was increased to $6.50 an hour in the state. During the same election, voters in five other states also strongly approved increases in the minimum wage.

Missouri presidential preference primary (2008)

Then U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) received more votes, a total of 1,922, than any candidate from either party in Ste. Genevieve County during the 2008 presidential primary. She also received more votes than the total number of votes cast in the entire Republican Primary in Ste. Genevieve County.

The Board of Supervisors has unanimously adopted a resolution calling on Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) to veto a bill that would limit localities' ability to negotiate and accept proffers, an important tool in the Loudoun's ability to keep up with its explosive growth.
The bill passed the General Assembly Feb. 23. The governor must decide whether to sign the bill by midnight on March 8.
The resolution says the bill will "put an end to the constructive and collaborative development process" and "completely eliminates the ability of developers, despite a genuine desire to do so, to offer proffers for public facilities or improvements" except where those facilities are specifically named in the bill.
"What happens with this bill will not help the developers, because we will more likely have to say no" to the rezoning requests, said Chairwoman Phyllis Randall (D-At Large). She said arguments from other counties around the state have "fallen on deaf ears" in Richmond.
"This proffer bill was discussed throughout VACO [the Virginia Association of Counties], which says to me that the members of the General Assembly are not listening to the counties, thus not listening to their constituencies," Randall said.
The board has also directed staff to come up with a list of fiscal impacts and projects outlawed by the bill to attach to the resolution. It will be sent to the governor and the Loudoun delegation to the General Assembly, several of whom have opposed the bill.

Q: Apex - Not able to exclude column in exported file I have an interactive report and the goal is to let the user export the data but without 1 column.
What I tried for the column in question:
1) Server-side condition - Request is NOT contained in value; Value - CSV, HTML
2) NVL(:REQUEST,'EMPTY') not in ('CSV','HTMLD')

The column I am trying to not export is a link with an icon. I tried changing it to 'Plain text' but to no avail.
Oracle Apex version 21.2.0

A: I managed to accomplish it using this:
instr(nvl(:REQUEST,'~'),'HTML') = 0 and instr(nvl(:REQUEST,'~'),'CSV') = 0

A: The approach described earlier worked for me with APEX 21.x.
However in APEX 22.1 the CSV download seems to be different; is this correct? For me the values are no longer evaluated again during download and thus I can not control this (we have a server side condition for that that accesses a page Item which we fill with a logic evaluating :REQUEST).

6:30 A.M. I've gotten used to being an early bird. I like getting up early and feeling really productive before lunch. The first thing I do is check my phone. Instagram is my favorite app. I don't post too often, but sometimes I'll go through my albums and find some really good throwbacks. 7:00 A.M. I prefer to work out in the morning. To stay toned, I do a lot of ab work with my trainer, Gunnar Peterson, and occasionally I'll take a kickboxing class. 8:00 A.M. Where I head first varies from day to day, depending on if I'm on set or working on our new contemporary line, Kendall + Kylie. I like driving, but usually I'll take a car. I always have to be DJ in the car. I'm obsessed with making playlists. When you make a playlist, you have to know the crowd and fit the right vibe, as well as throw in a few classics and newer stuff that nobody's heard. I listen to Kanye [West], Drake, and Justin [Bieber] a lot, but I don't have a favorite genre of music. If it's a good song, it's good. 9:00 A.M. We start our day meeting with our Kendall + Kylie team in the office. The collection is extra special because it represents how Kylie and I dress today. We'll review fabrics, have fittings with models, and meet photographers to collaborate with on our upcoming look-book shoots. 12:00 P.M. Most of the time lunch is really quick. I typically eat lean chicken and brown rice, and am always snacking on raw veggies with dip and hummus. I wish I had more time to do grocery shopping because I like picking out my own vegetables.
2:00 P.M. On a typical day, I can have four or five meetings and appointments back-to-back. Right now we're developing "our girl." Kylie and I are a really good creative team. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and she has really good ideas. My favorite pieces in the collection are the jumpsuits because they're really huge for spring and the sets we did in matching fabrics. 4:00 P.M. There's no set end time for when I'm off the clock. Some days I'll be on set until night; others, I'll leave the office for an interview, then head to an event or have to travel. It's a very fast-paced schedule. To relax, a massage is always nice, but I'll mostly get caught up on sleep or lounge at home with my sisters. I'm also obsessed with frozen yogurt. I could eat it every day, but I aim for twice a week to treat myself. I usually get the classic Tart flavor from Go Greek.
6:00 P.M. If I'm lucky, dinner is a normal time, like 6 P.M. In L.A., I love Nobu for sushi or Craig's, where I order the vegan spaghetti Bolognese or Margherita pizza. I always make sure to have one or two nights a week out with friends, where I'll get dressed up for dinner and be social. I think part of staying inspired and happy really comes from surrounding yourself with the right energy. Thankfully I have friends who lift me up and help push me. We're all going through these changes in our careers together. 11:00 P.M. I have to sleep at least seven to eight hours to be fully awake for the next day, so I try to get to bed as soon as I can. I've trained myself to fall asleep anywhere possible, in the car or on a flight.
7:00 A.M. I like to bounce out of bed. I can't just stay there and hang out. The first thing I do is check my phone and Instagram. I look at my friends' accounts—I think they honestly all have good pictures. 7:15 A.M. I like to look cute if I'm heading to work on the collection because it inspires me. I love doing my own makeup. I like Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation and Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Makeup, because it's superthin. I always use Nars concealer and Laura Mercier translucent powder. I like Charlotte Tilbury bronzer and blush and Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow pencil. Then my Kylie Lip Kit is the only thing I wear. It takes me only 10 minutes to get everything done. 7:30 A.M. I can get ready really fast. I'm always the first one ready out of all of my friends. For a no-brainer outfit, I'll put on a plain long-sleeved bodysuit, which I have in a bunch of different colors, and jeans. I'm more into sneakers than heels right now—I have maybe 50 pairs. The most comfortable are by APL.
8:00 A.M. I've never been a breakfast person. If I do eat breakfast, it's at home, and it's not healthy at all. I just don't like granola or cereal or anything like that, so I'll do hash browns or bacon or banana pancakes. 10:00 A.M. When we get to the studio to work on the collection, what we do first depends on how far along we are. If we're working on fittings, we'll have all the clothes ready and have models to try them on so we can make sure that everything looks exactly as we want it to. We're always seen on the red carpet all glammed up, but people don't really get to see our casual styles, so we wanted to do a line that reflects what we wear on a day-to-day basis. We've been working on this collection for a long time, and I'm so excited that it's finally coming out.
12:00 P.M. We have lunch in the office because it's hard to go out. We always have paparazzi following us, especially when it's Kendall and me together. We love Joan's on Third. We both order the Chinese chicken salad. 2:30 P.M. In the afternoon, we go off and do our own things, and I'll see my friends. We like to go outside and explore the world and just be kids. Yesterday we were outside all day walking around my mom's neighborhood, and then we hung out with her all night. I love hanging out with my family. Living on my own now, I feel more independent, but we all have such a close bond. 4:00 P.M. I've been getting back into working out. I stopped for Christmas and New Year's, so I have to get back into it. I work out with [my sister] Kourtney and her trainer, who is also Kanye's trainer. We work out for an hour. It's hard, but it makes me feel good. Kourtney likes to blast music. I'm really into Kanye's new songs. PartyNextDoor has a song called "Party at 8," which my friends and I have been listening to on repeat.
6:00 P.M. I love cooking these days. I like to make burgers. I also make spaghetti because my mom is obsessed with spaghetti. It's the first thing I learned to cook. I love potatoes; I'll make all different kinds of potatoes, like scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, candied yams. 8:00 P.M. Most of the time I prefer a night in with my friends. We typically watch movies and just hang out. I love Mean Girls. It was a big part of my childhood, and I watched it a lot when I was younger, so I think that's why I love it. 12:00 A.M. I've been going to bed around midnight lately. Before bed I use Neutrogena wipes to take off my makeup. I also use coconut oil on my hair and body. You just rub it on your hands so it melts, then rub it all over your body, or wherever you want. I think it was Jaden [Smith] who told me about it.

Whereas in the 1980s and 1990s, Taiwan New Cinema could be characterised by strong, mature female characters, in recent year, an attempt by the film industry to attract a younger audience has had an influence on film content and the representation of women. Indeed, recent commercial cinema tends to offer simplified story plots and development and is heavily influenced by Japan, Korean and local television (whereas Japanese and Korean cinema audiences are very diverse and allow a widescope of film genres, Taiwan cinema production seems to focus mainly on a younger demographic with certain formulas and stereotypes in films.). As a result, in these teenage dramas, "women" are quite absent on screen compared to "girls". The young girl has become the central representation in Taiwan cinema and most of the time in a secondary role. There is a dichotomy in the representation of female characters: the innocent – passive - girls and then mothers; which seems to indicate a real lack of a positive alternative role-model. Still some films try to give another image of female characters. This article is an attempt to describe the different type of female image representation in recent Taiwan cinema.
In recent success, such as Monga (Doze Niu, 2010) or Winds of September (Tom Shu-yu Lin, 2008), being narratives about male friendship, female parts are naturally reduced to vague shadows amongst a male dominated cast. They are objects of desire and competition, a way of asserting manhood but do not exist in and for themselves. They have a part as a peripheral narrative device. In Winds of September, the female classmates are seen from afar, outside the boys-circle. The male group is disturbed when one of them decides to be with a girl. Yen is the only one who has a girl–friend but their relationship is portrayed as not very successful. The film plays between the warm complicity between the guys (swimming together, going out on motorbike rides) and the disruption of female characters to this complicity. Thus, Winds of September and Monga articulate their narration around troubles caused by girls – those they steal from one another in particular. In Monga, the role of the young prostitute is concretely peripheral, as she is reduced to the space of the room which she occupies and seems to be meant only to introduce a hint of heterosexuality in a film haunted by a blatant homoeroticism. But the moments Mosquito shares with her in her confined space are also the only moments when Mosquito can escape the violence of the group. In these cases, female characters only exist as outcasts, as symbols of innocence and danger. This projection turns female characters into ghostly presences with no real substance.
If, male centred narration projects a passive image of women, female oriented narrative tends to do exactly the same thing. Indeed, the beauty ideal of skinniness and whiteness as promoted in advertisements and films leads to a dilution of female characters into pure ethereal images. The most striking example is the transformation of Kui Lun-Mei who starred first as a strong tom-boy character in Blue Gate Crossing and who is now mostly cast to perform skinny, white and nearly boneless characters. In Taipei Exchange, she represents an immature heroine, with childish expressions, ideals and relationships. Flesh seems to be completely absent in her relationship with the pilot. The choice of actresses is very important in this trend, most of them are extremely skinny, with long hair and a very white skin, which make them look more like ghosts than human beings. Moreover, their characters are also very soft and shy most of the time. The heroine of Honey Pupu is more defined by her voice than her body and in One Day, the relationship between the two main characters is lit in a slight overexposure which makes it seem a little unreal. The exception of Nikky Hsie's part as a demonic, destructive prostitute in Honey Pupu is only a characterisation of her virtual persona. She represents flesh and sexiness in her attire and attitude but is the evil character of the group. Feminine desire seems to be banned and condemned and her character only gains positivity when she is discovered to be pregnant. The choice of being less commercial entails primarily avoiding this physcial stereotype. In Seven Days in Heaven the female character is somehow comic in a tragic situation, her indifference to the burial process seems to emphasize theemptiness of her life.
In Blow Fish, the director and the screenwriter/actress distort the classical representation of heroines in films. The film starts with a training session in a department store, the heroine is just another white, nameless, transparent puppet in the great commercial mechanism. But when she escapes to the countryside and invites herself to stay at the coach's house, she loses her inconsistency and gains a body. Even if she remains silent, she imposes her will on the coach. The white skinny body and the silent attitude are turned into a demanding and active body that creates a strange effect. It could be argued that the film is more like a fantasy story and not realistic at all.
So in a more realistic representation, Yang Yang is more like a bildungsroman following the emancipation of an athlete. As in Miao Miao in which Sandra Pinna/ Zhang Rong Rong's vitality is contrasted with effeminacy, in Yang Yang, she is pure movement, a desiring body and an energy that becomes a real presence. The film follows her closely, capturing a body and a personality in transition. In the film Yang Yang is central and is the one making her own decisions about her life and her sexuality. The choice of the director to choose a sport professional also adds to this idea of a more active role. The last long shot of the film following Yang Yang as she runs – a clear reference to Truffaut – also conveys the resilient strength of the heroine being something other than just an image – she becomes an actress.
Except for these few examples, Taiwan cinema in recent years has not been a female character role provider except for perpetuating an ideal of softness that reminds us of the ideal character depicted in 1970s films.


Why Classify Your Medical Device for the FDA?
Classifying your medical device with the FDA can seem overwhelming. It's important to take things one step at a time. There are three major classifications for medical devices under FDA law. It's crucial to understand why you need to classify your medical device.
What Requirements Should You Be Meeting While Designing or Manufacturing Your Device?
Learning about medical device classification before you design or manufacture your device can help the FDA approval process go smoothly. You can eliminate bumps in the road by anticipating what you'll need. Therefore, have it ready as you design and manufacture your device.
What Requirements Should You Be Meeting Before Submitting Your Device?
One imperative part of classifying your device is to know what requirements you need to be meeting before you submit your device to the FDA. Some classifications of devices don't have as many requirements that must be met pre-market, while others have a great deal. You should be a step ahead of the game when it comes to knowing what you need to do before you can sell your medical device.
Another helpful benefit of understanding FDA classification for medical devices is that it can help you better estimate how much it's going to cost to design, manufacture, advertise, and sell your product. For most people, this is a crucial piece of information that will help them determine whether or not they can actually bring their medical device to market.
FDA regulations surrounding medical devices are confusing at best. It's always a good idea to consult with an experienced professional who knows FDA law from front to back and can give you the guidance you need to move through the various stages of designing and marketing a medical device.
Contact the Capote Law Firm today for a consultation to discuss the details about your medical device.

Edgar Iván Solís (* 5. März 1987 in Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco), auch bekannt unter dem Spitznamen Tepa, ist ein ehemaliger mexikanischer Fußballspieler, der vorwiegend im Mittelfeld agierte.

Leben
Solís stammt aus der Nachwuchsabteilung des Club Deportivo Guadalajara, für den er am 28. August 2005 in einem Spiel bei Santos Laguna (0:3) seinen ersten Profieinsatz in der mexikanischen Primera División absolvierte. Nach diesem neunminütigen Einsatz vergingen vier Wochen, ehe Solís sein zweites Spiel absolvieren durfte. An jenem 25. September 2005 gegen San Luis (2:1) bestritt er sein erstes Spiel über die volle Distanz und erzielte zugleich sein erstes Tor zur 2:0-Pausenführung unmittelbar vor der Halbzeit.

In der Clausura 2006 kam er nur zu zwei kurzen Einsätzen gegen Atlas (0:3) und Toluca (0:2). In der darauffolgenden Apertura 2006 kam er zwar überhaupt nicht zum Einsatz, gehörte aber immerhin zum Kader der Meistermannschaft von Chivas, der in jener Spielzeit seinen elften Titelgewinn feierte.

Für die Clausura 2007 wurde Solís an den Querétaro FC ausgeliehen, für den er insgesamt sechsmal zum Einsatz kam, jedoch nur einmal über die volle Distanz von 90 Minuten bei seinem Debüt gegen die Jaguares de Chiapas (0:2) am 27. Januar 2007. Kurios verlief sein zweiter Einsatz am 11. Februar 2007 bei Santos Laguna (0:0), als er in der 60. Minute eingewechselt und bereits 14 Minuten später das Spielfeld nach einer gelb-roten Karte wieder verlassen musste.

In der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2007 spielte er wieder für Chivas, kam in der Liga aber nur zu drei Einsätzen mit einer Gesamtdauer von 116 Minuten. Doch 2008 war er Stammspieler und erzielte in der Clausura 2008 zwei Tore (beim 2:1 in Veracruz sowie beim 4:0-Heimsieg gegen Puebla), wurde aber insgesamt neunmal verwarnt. In der Apertura 2008 setzten sich beide Serien insofern fort, als er erneut Stammspieler (mit insgesamt 14 Einsätzen) war, aber erneut auffällig häufig (achtmal) verwarnt wurde und einmal vom Platz flog. Bei diesem Spiel (3:5 gegen Santos Laguna) am 23. August 2008 erlebte er alle Höhen und Tiefen. Zunächst gelang ihm unmittelbar vor der Pause die 3:2-Führung seiner Mannschaft. Eine Viertelstunde vor Schluss wurde er – beim Stande von 3:3 – vom Platz gestellt und war daher nicht ganz unverantwortlich an der Niederlage seiner Mannschaft. Es war sein letztes Tor in der Primera División, aber nicht sein letzter Platzverweis!

Allein in der Saison 2010/11, in der er für den CF Atlante tätig war, wurde er dreimal des Feldes verwiesen.

Nachdem Solís in den folgenden Jahren von seinem Stammverein Guadalajara an den Lokalrivalen UAG Tecos sowie die beiden großen Rivalen des Clásico Regiomontano, CF Monterrey und UANL Tigres ausgeliehen worden war, wechselte er 2015 zum ersten Mal ins Ausland und spielte für den costa-ricanischen Verein CS Herediano. Weitere Auslandsstationen waren der spanische Verein Real Burgos, der nicaraguanische Verein Real Estelí sowie der salvadorianische Verein Once Deportivo FC, bei dem er seine aktive Laufbahn beendete.

Tom Wheeler was known both for his passion for music and for helping create Flux Magazine 25 years ago.
I finally made a blog, so you can keep up on my latest happenings. In this post, I reflect on my memories of the late Tom Wheeler.


The American Ambassador told an anxious audience of some 150 Americans this afternoon that a charter plane would be arriving on Tuesday morning to evacuate dependents of embassy employees and other Americans who wanted to go.
''It has to do with a range of threats against Americans and especially to American officials,'' Ambassador Thomas W. Simons Jr. said, explaining why embassy families had been ordered to depart and the State Department had urged all Americans ''to seriously consider leaving Pakistan.'' Although there was much skepticism among the audience about the seriousness of the threat, the fact that a charter plane was coming added to the tension among those faced with deciding whether to uproot their families the day the school year begins.
''If we leave we are jeopardizing our financial and professional positions,'' said Kris Steinberg, a high school science teacher at the International School here. ''We're going to make reservations but we're going to wait to find out a little bit more,'' said his wife, Eli Abreu, a seventh-grade science teacher.
The State Department issued its warning on Sunday, the day it became widely known that the Pakistani authorities had sent a suspect in the bombing of the American Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam back to Kenya, where he was being interrogated by the F.B.I.
One man in the audience asked Ambassador Simons about rumors the United States was about to launch an attack on Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born millionaire who has pledged a holy war on the United States, at Mr. bin Laden's base in Afghanistan, and thus wants to clear Americans from neighboring Pakistan. The Ambassador said he would not comment on that.
For nearly an hour, the Americans badgered Mr. Simons with questions, often sounding like reporters trying to get an American official to be more forthcoming with intelligence information. ''We are strongly urged to leave, yet we don't know what we're running from,'' said one woman, asking Mr. Simons if he could be more specific. He said he could not. He suggested that Washington knew more than he did.
Mr. Simons made it clear, in response to questions, that the decision to order an evacuation had been made in Washington. And between his carefully chosen words, there were suggestions that even Mr. Simons, a diplomat with more than 30 years' experience, thought the State Department had overreacted.
''This warning indicated to me that people are excited in Washington,'' Mr. Simons said; mild laughter rippled through the auditorium.
Many of the Americans left the auditorium unconvinced and unhappy. ''I've just gone to a meeting my government held and they haven't given me one good reason why I should leave, yet they're bringing in a charter flight to take people out,'' said Mark Hausfeld, a 40-year-old father of three.

Abstract: Newly metamorphosed Kenyan reed frogs, Hyperolius viridiflavus ferniquei , are able to regenerate amputated digits. The terminal digital pad is also completely reformed. Differentiation of the regenerating digital pad was studied by scanning electron microscopy. External differentiation of the digital pad began late in the second postamputational week with the appearance of small patches of specialized epidermal cells on the ventral surface of the regenerating digit. The differentiation of the pad spread out radially until late in the fourth week, when its overall shape approximated that of the normal digital pad. The appearance of patches of digital pad epidermis on the ends of spike regenerates arising from the forearm was also confirmed.

Falcons, Devonta Freeman agree to terms on a five-year contract extension
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons running back Devonta Freeman is sticking around for a while.
Freeman and the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension Wednesday morning. The agreement comes just before Atlanta's first preseason game of the year. The Falcons square off against the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday night.

Freeman ready to bring 'disrespectful' running style
"We are very pleased that we were able to get this extension done," general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "Devonta embodies everything we are looking for in a Falcon, and we are proud that he'll be able to spend his career here in Atlanta."
A fourth-round draft pick in 2014, Freeman was scheduled to make $1.79 million this season, the final year of his rookie contract.
"This is where I've always wanted to be," Freeman said. "I want to thank Mr. Blank, Thomas and Coach (Dan) Quinn for all of their support. I feel extremely blessed, but the work and grind are just beginning."
In three seasons with the Falcons, Freeman has rushed for 2,383 yards and 23 touchdowns. He's also proven to be a receiving threat coming out of the backfield, hauling in 157 passes for 1,265 and six scores. In 2016, Freeman topped 100 yards from scrimmage in seven games and led the Falcons with 1,541 yards from scrimmage.
Freeman's 3,175 total yards over the past two seasons ranks second in the NFL, behind his teammate, Julio Jones. With back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2015 and 2016, Freeman became the first running back drafted by the Falcons to accomplish that feat since Jamal Anderson in 1996 and 1997.
Freeman is a two-time Pro Bowler and has established himself as one of the premier running backs in the NFL. He joins Pittsburgh's Le'Veon Bell and Buffalo's LeSean McCoy as the only three running backs to finish with top-25 grades from Pro Football Focus in both rushing and receiving over the last two seasons.

In 1907 there was a serious clash between the state authorities and the Federal judiciary, arising from an act of the legislature of that year which fixed the maximum railway fare at 21 cents a mile and imposed enormous fines for .its violation.
The expenditure is largely on reproductive works (railways, harbours, post office, &c.), on the judiciary and police, education and military defence.
In 1803 he was again elected to the governor's council, and in 1807, on the reorganization of the Connecticut judiciary, was appointed chief justice of the new Supreme Court.
The individualistic principle was shown in the jealousy of the towns toward the central government, and in the establishment of legislative supremacy over the executive and the judiciary.
Dorr (1805-1854), a young lawyer of Providence, began a systematic campaign for an extension of the suffrage, a reapportionment of representation and the establishment of an independent judiciary.
The General Court was the legislature and the electorate; the governor and assistants were the executive and the judiciary.
Each has its own documentary constitution; its legislature of two elective houses; its executive, consisting of a governor and other officials; its judiciary, whose decisions are final, except in cases involving Federal law; its system of local government and local taxation; its revenue, system of taxation, and debts; its body of private civil and criminal law and procedure; its rules of citizenship, which may admit persons to be voters in state and national elections under conditions differing from those prevailing in other states.
The part played by the judiciary has at some moments been of special importance, while at others it has been little noticed.
It increased the number of senators and representatives, created the office of lieutenant-governor, substituted biennial for annual sessions of the legislature, introduced minority representation in the choice of the higher judiciary and of the county commissioners and auditors and provided (as had an amendment adopted in 1850) for the election of all judges by popular vote.
He worked for a revision of Ellsworth's judiciary act of 1789, and especially to relieve justices of the supreme court 1 The plan was not drafted by Randolph, but he presented it because he was governor.
There was to be, under this plan, an executive chosen by the national legislature, to be ineligible for a second term, to have general authority to execute the national laws and to have the executive rights vested in Congress by the Confederation; and the executive with a convenient number of the national judiciary was to compose a Council of Revision, with a veto power on acts of the national legislature and on the national legislature's vetoes of acts of state legislatures - but the national legislature might pass bills (or vetoes of state legislation) over the action of the Council of Revision.
There is no separate judiciary, or police force, or civil service, nor any separate departments of general government.
The organic act contained a bill of rights, provided for the establishment of a popular assembly two years after the completion of a census of the Philippines, and more definitely provided for the organization of the judiciary.
Under the Japanese regime the judiciary and the executive were rigidly separated.
Returning to Massachusetts, he spoke and wrote in opposition to its ratification, and although not a member of the convention called to pass upon it, he laid before this convention, by request, his reasons for opposing it, among them being that the constitution contained no bill of rights, that the executive would unduly influence the legislative branch of the government, and that the judiciary would be oppressive.
A learned jurist, he contributed during the Constituent Assembly to the organization of the judiciary of France.
The constitution of the courts is based on the example of the English judiciary, and the rules of evidence and procedure are practically the same in both criminal and civil cases as in England.
The effect of the act was to impose upon the judges under severe sanction the duty of protecting personal liberty in the case of criminal charges and of securing speedy trial upon such charges when legally framed; and the improvement of their tenure of office at the revolution, coupled with the veto put by the Bill of Rights on excessive bail, gave the judicature the independence and authority necessary to enable them to keep the executive within the law and to restrain administrative development of the scope or penalties of the criminal law; and this power of the judiciary to control the executive, coupled with the limitations on the right to set up "act of state" as an excuse for infringing individual liberty is the special characteristic of English constitutional law.
There are free trade unions, an independent judiciary, no silly wearing of uniforms by the party leadership.
Here he became the recognized Democratic leader and in 1879-1881 was chairman of the judiciary committee.
He appeared personally before successive legislative committees, and in 1846 published a pamphlet, "The Reorganization of the Judiciary," which had its influence in persuading the New York State Constitutional Convention of that year to report in favour of a codification of the laws.
Congress neglected to pass certain laws which were required by the constitution, and which, as regards municipal autonomy, independence of the judiciary, and congressional representation of minority parties, were intended to make impossible the abuses of centralized government that had characterized Spanish administration.
When conditions so changed that government could free itself from its dependence on the baron, feudalism disappeared as the organization of society; when a professional class arose to form the judiciary, when the increased circulation of money made regular taxation possible and enabled the government to buy military and other services, and when better means of intercommunication and the growth of common ideas made a wide centralization possible and likely to be permanent.
The Judiciary Act of 1789 (as amended by subsequent legislation) provides for the appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States of a final judgment or decree in any suit rendered in the highest court of a state in which a decision in the suit could be had where is drawn in question the validity of a treaty or statute for an authority exercised under the United States, and the decision is against their validity; or where is drawn in question the validity of a statute of, or an authority exercised under, any state, on the ground of their being repugnant to the Constitution, treaties or laws of the United States, and the decision is in favor of their validity; or where any title, right, privilege or immunity is claimed under the Constitution, or any treaty or statute of, or commission held or authority exercised under the United States, and the decision is against the title, right, privilege or immunity specially set up or claimed by either party under the Constitution, treaty, statute, commission or authority.
In addition to the prerogatives commonly invested in his office, the president is authorized to supervise the judiciary, to nominate candidates for the higher ecclesiastical offices, to intervene in the enforcement of ecclesiastical decrees, papal bulls, &c., to exercise supervisory police powers, and to appoint the intendants of provinces and the governors of departments, who in turn appoint the sub-delegates and inspectors of subordinate political divisions.
Above all, there was no dividing 'line between the judiciary and the administrative functions.
Other prominent structures are the U.S. government and the judiciary buildings, the latter connected with the capitol by a stone terrace, the city hall, the county court house, the union station, the board of trade, the soldiers' memorial hall (with a seating capacity of about 4500), and several office buildings.
The constitution of 1894 made further important changes in the judiciary and in the government of cities.
The judiciary holds a place of high importance, because it is the proper interpreter of the will of the people expressed in the supreme law, the Federal Constitution, which the people have enacted.
Facing the judiciary building is an heroic statue in bronze of Kamehameha the Great., About 2 m.

NFL players told they could earn Donald Trump's respect with tiki torches and white supremacist songs
NFL players criticised for kneeling during the national anthem have been given tips on earning the respect of their president.
With many players and fans expected to protest against Trump at the start of the NFL season, experts in pacifying children have given suggestions on the best way to win the President over.
Child psychologist Chuck Williams told us, "Look, if you want to silently take a knee during the national anthem to protest against the treatment of some of society's most vulnerable groups, Donald Trump is going to call you a son of a bitch and want you fired – that's just the way it is.
"But if you want him to call you 'some very fine people', then you need to stock up on tiki torches and learn the words to a few white supremacy songs.
"I don't know how you sing a white supremacy song during the national anthem, and the flames might be a health and safety issue, but lighting them up would certainly put an end to Donald Trump criticising you.
"Hell, he'll even defend you in the press if they start criticising your behaviour. When he likes you, he really likes you."
A White House spokesperson told reporters that claiming tiki torches would be enough to earn NFL players the respect of the president was "utter nonsense".
"Most of them will still be black," they added.

[Queensferry Crossing, seen from the north end of the old Forth Road Bridge]
Over a million vehicles speed past North Queensferry each month on the new Queensferry Crossing, named after the villages on either side of the Firth of Forth below. This 2.7 km cable-stayed bridge is Scotland's most impressive, open to M90 traffic since August 2017 as a replacement for the creaking Forth Road Bridge which runs alongside - now relegated to a public transport corridor. Together with the Forth Rail Bridge a little further east, this is the only place in the world where three bridges of this size exist in parallel and date from three different centuries. The total project cost over £1.3 billion, not to mention the environmental costs, but you have to admit it looks pretty good. You'll pass over the bridge heading north towards Fife and the Highlands from Edinburgh; alternatively, admire it from afar from the north end of the Forth Road Bridge pedestrian walkway (as seen above), or from the west side of South Queensferry.

Global Impact Film Festival - The Fence
September 04, 2016 by Carmela Baranowska
A Short Documentary focusing on the fence in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve which has become a symbol of man-animal conflict.
Interview with Writer/Director/Producer Warren Pereira
THE FENCE short film actually came out from working on feature doc called THE BAMERA TIGER. While I was in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve I got so affected by the way the fence looked and later by the man-animal conflict it symbolized that I decided to make a short film on it.
I feel like if you feel even minimally interested in the place Wild Tigers have in the world we live in today you should watch THE FENCE.
Personally the idea of focusing on something symbolic like a "fence" to tell a more important, larger, universal story appeals to me.
The main theme of "man and animal crossing over risk – THE FENCE – for resource has remained the same. I added some technically superior shots – 4K instead of 2K – and some more appropriate coverage to enhance the viewing experience.
People come out of it feeling liked they watched something important and that is the best kind of feedback for this type of short form doc.
There are a few people who are critical of the villagers depicted in the film. They wonder and frown at how they would risk their lives and enter a Tiger Reserve to collect firewood. If you knew more about their economic status and their history you would stop wondering and frowning.
I really don't know for sure since you guys approached me but if provides more exposure for THE FENCE then I am happy.
Festival exposure, Awards, Write-Ups, Display in various venues and social media buzz will all help. It is a short so the market for distribution is limited. I do not expect to make the money I spent on making the short to come back to me, but in the rare event I do all profits after Net will go into Tiger Conservation.
I just want people to more accurately understand the reality of Tiger's and villagers in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
I think village relocation would spark a debate.
Would you like to add anything else?
Yes, I hope you see THE FENCE at festival or on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thefence
What are the key creatives developing or working on now?
I am working on post of Two Feature Docs – TIGER NUMBER 24 and THE BAMERA TIGER – financing has been a frustrating struggle, and getting enough people to work on it consistently and seriously is just not happening, so I am having to do most of it on my own. But that is the reality of independent filmmaking – it is real hard DIY work!
Interview: August 2016
We are moving stories embraces new voices in drama, documentary, animation, TV, web series and music video. If you have just made a film - we'd love to hear from you. Or if you know a filmmaker - can you recommend us? More info: Carmela

THE GENERAL EPISTLES OF ST. JAMES AND ST. JUDE. By the Rev. Alfred Plummer, M.A., D.D., Master of University College, Durham; formerly Fellow ! and Senior Tutor of Trinity College, Oxford. New York: A. C. Armstrong & Son. Price, $1.50.
This volume belongs to the series known as "The Expositor's Bible," and is a work of decided merit. It it divided into thirty-eight chapters. Of these the first is introductory, and treats of the Catholic Epistles. Of the remaining thirty-seven chapters, twenty-eight are devoted to the Epistle of St. James, and nine to that of St. Jude. Besides the contents of the Epistles, their authenticity, authorship and relations to other Scriptures and Apocryphal writings are ably discussed. Dr. Plummer is disposed to believe that St. James and St. Jude were real brothers of our blessed Lord. The exposition of both Epistles is scholarly and instructive. The volume will be found a truly valuable addition to the series of which it forms a part.
THE BOOK OF PROVERBS. By R. F. Horton, M.A., Hampstead; late Fellow of New College, Oxford. New York: A. C. Armstrong & Son, 51 East 10th Street, near Broadway. 1891. Price, $1.50.
This volume belongs to the same series as the one just noticed. In it the teachings of the Book of Proverbs are considered. First in a brief introductory section the general character of this portion of God's Word is described. Then in thirty-one expository lectures, or practical sermons, the author treats the book as a uniform composition, following chapter by chapter the order which its compiler adopted, and bringing the scattered sentences together under subjects which are suggested by certain more striking points in the successive chapters. In this way he has succeeded in reviewing the greater part of the contents of the book. The subjects accordingly discussed, it is scarcely necessary to say, are all of the highest importance. Their treatment throughout, we would yet add, is highly judicious and edifying.
THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS. By the Rev. S H. Kellogg, D.D., Author of "The Jews; or Prediction and Fulfilment,' The Light of Asia and the Light of the World," etc. New York: A. C. Armstrong & Son, 51 East Tenth Street, near Broadway. 1891. Price, $1.50.
This is still another volume of the " Expositor's Bible." Leviticus, the contents of which it aims to expound, is not a very attractive book to the ordinary reader of the Sacred Scriptures. It is a book, however, which is nevertheless worthy of careful study. To the ancient. people of Israel it had a special importance, as setting forth the law that was to govern them, and we therefore need to acquaint ourselves with it, if we would at all understand the significance of the history of this wonderful people. Besides this, it has a value for us as presenting, in a singularly vivid manner, the fundamental con
ditions of true religion, and as suggesting the principles which should guide human legislators who would rule according to the mind of God. Moreover, it is of use to us also as embodying in type and figure, prophecies of things yet to come, pertaining to Messiah's kingdom.
In the introductory chapter of his exposition of the book under consideration, Dr. Kellogg presents strong reasons for the Mosaic origin and the inspired authority of its legislation. This he shows was the view of Christ, and for himself he says "We then stand without fear with Jesus Christ, in our view of the origin and authority of the book of Leviticus." His exposition of the book is thoroughly evangelical in tone, and, at the same time, highly interesting and instructive. We heartily commend the volume as a work that is worth possessing, and that will amply repay careful reading.
MY JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM. Including Travels in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt. By Rev. Nathan Hubbell. With 64 Illustrations. New York: Printed by Hunt & Eaton, 150 Fifth Avenue. 1890. Price, $1.00. Rev. Mr. Hubbell made a trip to Jerusalem in 1889, with the Fall Palestine Party, which was organized by him. In the volume now before us he gives an account of his journey, its sights and significations, with personal impressions and adventures. A large portion of the book was written while travelling and appeared in the form of foreign letters in the Daily Journal and Courier of New Haven, Conn. Though there is nothing specially new in the book, it is nevertheless quite readable and admirably suited for a place in the family and Sunday-school library. It has all the interest of the ordinary Sunday school story book, and will prove far more instructive and profitable.
SKETCHES OF JEwish Life in the FIRST CENTURY. Nicodemus; or Scenes in the Days of Our Lord. Gamaliel; or Scenes in the Times of Saint Paul. By James Strong, S.T.D., LL.D., Professor of Exegetical Theology in Drew Theological Seminary. New York: Hunt & Eaton. Cincinnati: Cranston & Stowe. 1891. Price, 60 cents.
In the sketches contained in this little volume, Dr. Strong assumes the task of setting in a fresh, but not altogether novel aspect, two well-known characters of sacred story, and to weave around them the principal features of the first era of Christianity. The first relates more especially to our blessed Lord, and the second to St. Paul, as indicated in their titles. Though we cannot praise very highly the artistic qualities of these sketches, we can yet commend them as presenting important facts and truths in an attractive form. The book is admirably adapted to supply a want of proper reading for the young, and ought to find a place in every Sunday-school library.
If young persons generally read more books of this character and less sentimental love stories and foolish adventures it would be a great gain to them.
THE DISEASES OF PERSONALITY. By Th. Ribot, Professor of Comparative and Experimental Psychology at the College of France, and Editor of the "Revue Philosophique." Authorized translation. Chicago: The Open Court Publishing Company. 1891. Price, 75 cents.
In this treatise the diseases of personality are considered with a view of throwing some light on its nature. The book, which is a small volume of 157 pages, is made up principally of four chapters which treat respectively of organic disorders, emotional disorders, the disorders of the intellect, and the dissolution of personality. In an introductory section the object of the treatise is set forth, and in a concluding section, the results attained are presented. "By person," Professor Ribot states, "we generally understand the individual as clearly conscious of itself and acting accordingly." In this he is no doubt correct. But we cannot consent to the conclusion which he reaches, that "consciousness is not an entity, but a sum of states, of which each is a phenomenon of a particular kind, bound up with certain conditions of the activity of the brain, which exists when they exist, is lacking when they are absent, disappears when. they disappear;" and that accordingly" the organism and the brain, as its highest representation, constitute the real personality, containing in itself all that we have been, and the possibilities of all that we shall be," so that "the unity of the ego is not that of the one-entity of spiritualists, which is dispersed into multiple phenomena, but the co-ordination of a certain number of incessantly renascent states, having for their support the vague sense of our bodies." Many interesting facts, however, are brought forward in support of this conclusion.
THE SOUL OF MAN. An Investigation of the Facts of Psychological and Experimental Psychology. By Dr. Paul Carus. With 152 Illustrations and Diagrams. Chicago, Ill.: The Open Court Publishing Company. 1891. Price, $3.00.
What is the nature of the human soul? This is a problem upon the proper solution of which a great deal depends. It lies at the very centre of philosophy and of ethics. With this problem the volume before us has to do. The principal things of which it treats are, the philosophical problem of mind, the rise of organized life, the physiological facts of brain-activity, the immortality of the race and the data of propagation, the investigations of experimental psychology, and the ethical and religious aspects of soul-life. All these subjects Dr. Carus discusses in a very interesting and thorough manner, from the standpoint of positive monism which at present prevails to so great an extent in philosophy and science.
As regards the work we cannot accept as correct, either the philosophical view that underlies it, or the psychological conclusions arrived at in it. Yet we have found the work, nevertheless, both attractive and instructive on account of the large amount of important facts bearing on the points under discussion, which the author has collected in his book and which can no where else be found so conveniently compiled and presented. The illustrations which are numerous and very fine, add also greatly to the value of this volume.
Concerning the study of psychology to which his book is a contribution, Dr. Carus very truly says:
"It is indispensable for every one who has to deal with people; and who has not? the physician, the clergyman, the employer of labor, the officer in the army, the professor, the merchant, the banker almost every one has to deal with people, and, above all the lawyer. Self-knowledge is not sufficient to make us free; it must be self-knowledge and the knowledge of other people; it must be selfknowledge in the broadest sense, knowledge of the soul, of the motives that work upon, and can be employed to affect man's sentiments. It is only knowledge that can make us free; and knowledge will make us free. And because it makes us free, knowledge, and chiefly so psychological knowledge, is power."
CONCISE DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. Edited by Rev. Samuel Macauley Jackson. M. A. Associate Editors: Rev. Talbot Wilson Chambers, D.D., LL.D., of the Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, New York city, and Rev. Frank Hugh Foster, Ph.D., Professor of Church History, Theological Seminary, Oberlin, Ohio. New York: The Christian Literature Company, 1891.
We have space only for a brief notice of this valuable and important work at this time. Its object is "to furnish in a concise form, information upon biblical, archaeological, ecclesiastical and historical topics. Hence the vocabulary has been purposely made very large, and most of the articles very condensed."
An error occurs under the title "Reformed Church," in stating that "in 1836 Marshall College was founded at Lancaster, Pa." It should be " at Mercersburg, Pa."
The work is prepared in the best style, and is worthy a place in every good library.
REFORMED QUARTERLY REVIEW
NO. 4.-OCTOBER, 1891.
THE RELATION OF HUMANITY TO DIVINITY.
BY PRESIDENT J. S. STAHR, PH.D. D.D.
MAN occupies a unique position in the order of created things. He is a citizen of two worlds, and, as such, the connecting link between two economies, the natural and the spiritual. Linked by his physical organization to the material world, and partaking of the order of development which prevails in the whole natural system, he also transcends this order, and, in virtue of his spiritual endowments, his intellectual and moral life, he belongs to a higher realm in which he unfolds the real significance of his existence under conditions which. the physical order cannot control. He belongs to the world of spirit, and his life is moulded by spiritual influences.
The mere statement of this fact, however, does not go far towards determining man's real position. The admission that there are two orders of existence, the natural and the spiritual (or supernatural), only makes room for the contemplation of a higher relation in which both stand as a connected system of things, to God who is the ground or source, the author and
