'Stripper Housewife' Peekaboo Pointe adds spice to show at Creative Alliance

Marylander Peekaboo Pointe unwraps Stripper Housewife tips in new video series.
BALTIMORE– On the surface, one wouldn't think that a scripture touting woman and a tassel-twirling stripper would have all that much in common. True, both might agree with the writer of Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone. Still, the differences between the two camps are precipitous and profound.
Or are they? Consider, for example, the following quote, and ask yourself:
Who said this – a Christian icon from the 1970s or a Burlesque star of today?
"A Total Woman caters to her man's special quirks, whether it be in salads, sex or sports"
If you guessed the Evangelical Christian, go to the head of the class. That classic quote is attributed to American self-help author, Marabel Morgan. But don't fret if you guessed the quote originated with a famous burlesque star. Turns out one performer appears to have picked up the mantle of Marabel Morgan.

Meet Peekaboo Pointe – The Stripper Housewife.
Pointe, (who will be appearing this Saturday night at The Creative Alliance in Highlandtown), wasn't alive in 1973 when Morgan penned her best-selling book, The Total Woman. Coming when it did, at the height of the women's liberation movement, Morgan's tome raised more than a few eyebrows with suggestions about how a woman should please her man; such as greeting your husband at the door wearing nothing more than Saran Wrap.
Admittedly, Pointe doesn't advocate cling wrap costumes. Still, she is raising eyebrows (along with the batter-covered beaters of her bright green blender) with a blog and a video trailer which celebrates sexy moves, along with other zesty seasonings. Pointe's take on what a good woman can do to please the man in her life includes feting him with black silk stockings, an earthy red wine and a heathy dose of down home cooking.
The talented burlesque star grew up in nearby Takoma Park, Maryland, in what most would recognize as a fairly middle-American existence. Mom stayed home and took care of the cleaning chores while preparing three hearty meals a day. Dad worked a 9-5 job and handled the "man" stuff – lawn work, house painting and upkeep of the family car. Some might snicker at this unintentional homage to Ward and June Cleaver. But Pointe sees the value of her parents' nurturing in the lessons she brings to her own home life.
"I wanted to be just like my mom…. and my dad. I wanted to be the housewife in the apron with the amazing recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie, but while the pie was cooking, I wanted to be able to fix the car."
Unfortunately, Pointe was rebuffed when she went to sign up for auto shop class in school. Undeterred, she asked her father to teach her the rudiments of automobile repair.
So how did this would-be Donna Reed with axle grease become the Stripper Housewife?
"I've been dancing all my life," offered Pointe. "I have a degree in Dance and Choreography. But I discovered burlesque when I moved to New York after college in 2003. Somehow, I happened into a class and started doing it just for fun. Eventually burlesque became my full time job. I felt like I found my true passion for performance when I started burlesque; like it was meant for me!"
Pointe parlayed her skills as a dancer into countless solo jobs and into touring gigs with The World Famous Pontani Sisters – moving seamlessly from energetic go-go numbers to seductive burlesque routines. Then four years ago, Peekaboo Pointe got into stripping.
The free-spirited Pointe admits there is a big difference between doing burlesque and working as a stripper. One, she says, is a creative performance art; the other is a business.
"When I started working in strip clubs, I had always been curious about (that scene). People asked me what the difference was between burlesque and stripping. After all, in both places, you're taking off your clothes. I never could really answer, so I thought I would go and figure it out."

Pointe says she found her answer and stopped stripping a little over a year ago. "I loved my time in the strip clubs and had a blast. But it was time to focus on burlesque full time."
And time to get back to doing what she enjoys the most: cooking and pleasing her man. Pointe says she originally got the idea for the Stripper Housewife about five years ago when she really got into cooking.
"I was married at the time, and it became a fun hobby to blog and cook. I'm no longer married, but the best part of (that time) was the meals I made for my husband."
Finding a new love after her divorce meant firing up her green mixer again – but this time with a modern twist. Pointe says her significant other is a Vegan.
Being involved with a vegan has afforded Pointe the opportunity to flex her creative culinary muscles and in the process find new ways to kindle the fire of romance.
"Right now, I'm enjoying the challenge of cooking for my mostly Vegan man. I love making something traditionally meaty and turning it into a vegetarian dish. Then setting up a table cloth in the living room with a nice bottle of Lambrusco or dry red wine and having a picnic inside!"
Somehow, between baking, blogging and her burlesque act, Peekaboo Point found time to create her own Stripper Housewife how-to video. The final product, which is in post production, will be released sometime later this year. Meanwhile, the trailer (which may be watched below) is generating excellent responses.
Seeing the aplomb with which Pointe moves about both the stage and the kitchen, the Baltimore Post-Examiner asked if she found inspiration in any particular person or performer?
Marabel Morgan sold more than ten million copies of The Total Woman.
"I get my inspiration from a ton of different places. It could be from some of our legends (performers from the original days of burlesque) and a lot of times, it'll be from movies, songs, paintings, a walk down a city street or really anywhere that will inspire me. Inspiration is everywhere!"
Inspiration also continues to come from her parents, who Pointe lovingly allows may be her biggest fans. Pointe proudly proffers that her folks have been completely supportive of her endeavors and have even been to some of her shows.
And what of Marabel Morgan? This reporter wondered if Pointe had ever heard of the woman who launched a thousand Saran Wrap surprises.
"I had never heard of her until I Googled her for this interview… all I can say is wow! How did I not hear of her? I can't form an opinion yet, but you can bet I'm going to delve into that one!"
Gilded Lily Burlesque presents, Surrealesque: An Erotic Cabaret Odyssey, premiering at The Creative Alliance this Saturday, August 24th at 8 p.m. The Creative Alliance is located at 3134 Eastern Ave., Baltimore, Maryland 21224. Tickets and other information may be found here.

Kylie Jenner recently revealed on Snapchat her complete makeup routine for her everyday "low-key" look.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star extensively detailed every product she uses and the order she applies them. Yet the best part about the makeup tutorial was seeing Kylie apply it herself. We're so quick to assume her trusty glam squad are responsible for her appearance 99 per cent of the time, but as it turns out, the 18-year-old has some impressive skills in the makeup department.
Kylie starts by mixing Makeup Forever HD Foundation with Urban Decay's Naked Skin for her base, which she blends onto her complexion using a beautyblender sponge.
Next she fills in her brows with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Caramel.
Using Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme, Kylie defines her brows by applying a thin line under her arch and blending it all in.
Then she sets her entire eye area with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder.
Kylie applies a brown eyeshadow onto her lids (she wasn't quite sure of the brand) but a brown shade from Maybelline New York The Nudes Palette will do the trick.
She applies a darker shadow along her lash line as her liner, and blends it in.
Now, onto the concealer! Kylie uses NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer under her eyes, and to define her T-zone and her nose. She blends and applies the concealer using her beautyblender sponge.
To set the rest of her face, Kylie applies Chanel's Double Perfection Lumiere Powder.
Kylie adds a bit of brown shadow underneath her eye for extra definition.
She uses the cult classic Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer to contour the rest of her face.
Next she sets her brows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel.
To add a natural flush, Kylie uses Sephora's Colorful Face Powder in Passionate Contour on her cheeks.
Time for the lashes! Kylie curls her lashes using a lash curler and then applies a coat of Lancôme's Ôscillation Vibrating Infinite Powermascara.
Kylie lines her lower waterline with Sephora's Colorful Shadow & Liner, which she adds, "I love this soft colour".
And it wouldn't be a Kylie Jenner makeup tutorial without a mention of her lip kit. To finish off, she uses the Kylie Cosmetics Candy K Lip Liner to fill her lips and applies her soon-to-be launched Koko K gloss all over.

Woodville House and Gardens
New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland
Woodville House is a fine five bay, two storey over basement Georgian house dating from about 1800 situated above the river Barrow. The property was acquired by P J Roche, great grandfather of the present owner in 1876 and is now occupied by the 5th generation of Roches to live there. It is thought to have been built by the Tottenhams, the first mention of it being the home of Edward Tottenham and subsequently was lived in by a Reverend Minchen. The house has two gate lodges, one a gothic lodge opposite the river Barrow and the other a 19th century Italianate gate lodge with gates at the southern end of the property. This entrance way and avenue were built after the construction of the now disused railway.
The house, recently renovated, maintains its period charm with period interior decoration and antique furniture. Visitors to the house can view the reception rooms, the former billiard room with faithfully copied and reprinted original wallpaper and Victorian conservatory by the Messenger Company.
Woodville Garden and Parkland
The house is set in the centre of a working farm and is approached by long avenues through parkland planted with specimen trees including Sequoia, cedar, pines, cypress and a recent addition the Wollemi pine. The resident flock of sheep grazes the pasture land, a scene unchanged for two hundred years.
A laurel shrubbery to the front of the house is also planted with colourful flowering cherry, Paulownia, Crinodendron, and Catalpa, and leads down to the double tennis courts which in turn leads to the water garden. Started in 1963 by Peter and Irene Roche and planted under the embankment of the old New Ross to Macmine Junction Railway, the water garden is a tranquil haven of shade and water-loving plants: ferns, hostas, Arisarum proboscideum (the fetching mouse plant), Clematis, Astilbe and trilliums, as well as Cornus controversa and others. A series of dropping pools are shaded by majestic oaks and a Metasequoia glyptostroboides (the dawn redwood).
The Victorian walled garden at the rear of the house is 0.5 hectares in size with conservatories, vegetable garden, fruit trees, herbaceous borders and lawn. A striking feature of the garden is the original box hedging proudly maintained by the present owner and enclosing different plantings. First to feature in spring is a Magnolia soulangeana followed by a spring border of snowdrops, crocus & narcissi.
In May the iris border comes into full bloom, a nearby bed is devoted to blue flowering plants including Chatham Island forget-me-not (Myositidium hortensia). Later the roses present a striking and colourful display contrasting with the box hedging while the reds, yellows and oranges of later summer put in an appearance. Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' flowers in the contemplative garden, a sunny corner and vantage point.
This is a plantsman's garden and also a most productive vegetable patch providing an abundant supply of fresh fruit and vegetables for the household. The greenhouses designed by Messenger and built by P J Roche in the 1880's house grapevines, peaches and nectarines as well as exotic and tender flowers plumbago, red and white nerines, vines and an old asparagus fern. A large bed of Crambe maritima (seakale) beloved of the Victorians is maintained as are beds of globe artichoke and asparagus.
The garden was extensively planted with several varieties of apple, pear and cherry, which carefully pruned and espaliered on frames and against the walls of this sunny garden, provide visual structure and a rich harvest.
The dairy walk, so called because in the past it was the route taken from farmyard to the dairy in the basement of the house, features a blaze of Embothrium coccineum flowering vigorously in May following on witch hazel (Hamamalis mollis), rhododendrons, camellias and azaelias producing spectactular and colourful effects in early summer.
The house and gardens are open to the public from the 1st of May to 31st August from 10am to 2pm daily. Visitors are welcome at other times by arrangement. Groups are given a guided tour by the owner and teas can be arranged.
Admission €5.00 to the garden and €6.00 to house and garden.
Woodville House & Gardens is less than 45 minutes from both Waterford and Kilkenny Cities.

Capt. Luther W. Slater: A Life of Service
Courtesy Lutheran Church of the Reformation, Washington DC
Capt. Luther W. Slater, Co A. Loudoun Rangers
By Edward Spannaus
Luther Slater is the only commissioned Union officer from the Civil War who is buried in Lovettsville. He was the highest-ranking elected officer in the Independent Loudoun Rangers, and but for his serious and disabling wounds, he almost certainly would have become its commanding officer over time. After the Civil War he served as Lovettsville postmaster for two years, and then accepted a position in the War Department in Washington, where he remained for over forty years, first in the medical corps, and then as a top official in the Records and Pension Office. Here is his story – an updated version of a lecture given to the Lovettsville Historical Society on August 14, 2011.
Luther Washington Slater was born in the area of Slater's Crossroads – on what is now Slater Lane — near Lovettsville, on October 2, 1841. His great-great-grandfather Johannes Jacob Schloetzer (1709-1770), and his great-grandfather of the same name, emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1754 from the Rhineland Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). The family next appears in the records of Augustus Lutheran Church in Trappe, Pennsylvania – the church congregation headed by the Rev. Henry Muhlenberg, regarded as the Patriarch of American Lutheranism.
Luther's great-grandfather Jacob Slater (1729-1815) came to Loudoun County sometime between 1763 and 1766. In 1756 he had married Susanna Habicht, the widow of Casper Spring who was killed in the French-Indian War. (She had two sons from her first marriage, Andreas and Frederick Spring, who came with Jacob and Susanna to Loudoun County, and who are the founders of the Spring family in the Lovettsville area.) This Jacob Slater is recorded as having provided Patriotic Service during the American Revolution, by supplying beef to the Revolutionary Army.
Luther's grandparents were John Slater (1763-1824) and Catherine Souder Slater (1772-1807), and his parents were Samuel Slater (1807-1898) and Barbary Myers (1808-1854), who were married in 1827. Samuel inherited his father's farm. They had eight children, of whom Luther Washington was the seventh.
The Slaters were among the earliest members of New Jerusalem Lutheran Church near Lovettsville. Luther was baptized on May 6, 1842, and was confirmed in the Lutheran faith on May 28, 1854, and the records show him taking communion regularly during the periods he was at home. He probably attended the Tankerville School, which preceded the 1866 establishment of Bethel Lutheran Church at Tankerville by about two decades.
In 1859, young Luther Slater enrolled in the Preparatory Department of Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, which was founded as the Virginia Institute in 1842, to prepare boys for enrolling in Pennsylvania (Gettysburg) College and the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary.
During the following school year, 1860-61, Slater was enrolled in the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, until his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War. He was a member of the Phrenakosmian Society, a literary organization. His course of study would suggest that he was preparing to enter the Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg and to become a minister.
The Civil War decisively changed his course. From 1862 forward, Slater devoted his life to the service of his country – for the most part in the service of the United States Army and the War Department.
The Independent Loudoun Rangers
In June 1862, Samuel Means, a mill owner in Waterford, was commissioned as a Captain in the U.S. Army, and was authorized by the Secretary of War to recruit loyalists in northern Loudoun County to the Independent Loudoun Rangers, a cavalry and scouting unit in the service of the United States.ii Luther Slater and about two dozen others were mustered in on or about June 20, 1862, at either Lovettsville or Waterford; accounts differ.iii In early July, the Rangers encamped at the Reformed Church at Lovettsville — just outside of town, in what is now the German Reformed (St. James) cemetery. There, Capt. Means held elections for the other officers of the company; Slater was elected First Lieutenant, the number-two position in the unit.
At the beginning of August, the Rangers moved back to Waterford, where they learned the rudiments of military practice under the direction of their temporary drill-master, Charles Webster. After the arrival of their uniforms from Harpers Ferry, they undertook more active scouting.
The Fight at Waterford
According to Briscoe Goodhart's not-necessarily accurate, but always impassioned, account of the Loudoun Rangers, Lt. Slater had been absent for several days sick, but returned to camp at the Waterford Baptist Church on the evening of August 26, 1862. Because of the small number of men in the camp – only about 20, with half being new recruits – the First Sergeant was having difficulty mounting the guard. Slater, "a very popular officer" according to Goodhart, saw the sergeant's predicament, and cast himself into the breach, acting as corporal of the guard, as well as Officer of the Day. At about 3:00 in the morning of August 27th, Maj. Elijah V. White's 35th Battalion, Ewall's Brigade,Virginia Cavalry, having dismounted and made their way across the fields undetected, reached the Rangers' camp. Hearing an unusual noise, the men rushed out of the church, and Slater hastily formed them in line. Slater's command: "Halt, who comes there" was met with a volley of shot, which wounded over half of those in front of the church.
Slater himself was shot in the temple, shoulder, chest, arm, and hand. The Rangers fell back into the church, and Slater retained command until the loss of blood rendered him unable to continue. The fighting continued until the Rangers ran out of ammunition. Consulted by his second-in-command, Slater (covered with blood), dictated a reply to White's demand for capitulation, which conditioned their surrender on all being paroled and released on the spot, and the officers to retain their sidearms. Slater's terms were accepted at once by Maj. White. Those who could went out and formed a line in front of the church, where they were paroled. White then went inside; upon seeing Slater, he reportedly said to him, "I am sorry to see you so dangerously wounded, Lieutenant."iv
Two local physicians attended to Slater immediately after the fight. Dr. John J. Henshaw of Lovettsville (a delegate to the Restored Government of Virginia in 1863, and State Treasurer of the Unionist government), later stated in an affidavit that he had found Slater seriously wounded. "While the wounds of the hand and head were sufficient to cause great pain and probably result in permanent disfigurement, the fracture of the right arm as the most serious demanded the utmost skill. He was under the impression that amputation would be necessary, but a strong constitution, youth, good habits and the best of medical attention and nursing enabled Lieut. Slater to rally and save his arm."
Another comrade, Milton Gregg, related essentially the same version of events as Dr. Henshaw. Gregg stated he sent for Dr. Thomas Bond (of Waterford) who had fled to Point of Rocks, to come back to Waterford and care for the wounded. Gregg said the doctors discussed "the amputation of Slater's right arm as the only means of saving his life," and added: "For a while it was considered doubtful whether he would not die from the effects of his wounds."
Slater was taken to local residences for about three weeks, until he could be taken to his father's farm. About two weeks later, he was taken to his old college town where he had friends, undoubtedly with the idea of getting him out of the war zone. That town was Gettysburg. As the stories tell it, while recovering in Gettysburg, he was again wounded – but this time more benignly, by Cupid's arrows. His "guardian angel" who tended to his wounds was Mollie Yount, sister of Slater's college friend Ephraim Yount, and later Luther's wife.v
Meanwhile, in late November 1862, being partially recovered from his wounds, but still considered unfit for field duty, Slater was appointed as the U.S. Provost Marshall at Point of Rocks, Maryland. By this time, those Rangers who had surrendered and were paroled at Waterford, had been exchanged and returned to duty. Slater's extensive knowledge of the area rendered him capable of determining who should be permitted to take goods through the blockade.
Taylor Chamberlin's book Crossing the Line reports that, in his capacity as Provost Marshall, Slater served under Col. Lafayette Baker, a colorful character who was the Provost Marshall of Washington, the head of the National Detective Police, the de facto head of counter-intelligence for the federal government, and the founder of the U.S. Secret Service.
On February 16, 1863, Slater submitted his letter of resignation, and on February 19, 1863, he was discharged from the Army because his right arm was completely disabled, and, according to a military surgeon, he would not be able to resume his duties. In June of 1864, Slater was granted a disability pension for "GWS" (gun-shot wound) of the right arm, in the amount of $8.50 a month.
Goodhart later wrote of Slater that "he was not only obeyed and respected, but loved by all — a large, physically well-built man, a true type of American soldier, and brave as a lion."
Meanwhile, having returned to Gettysburg and still recovering, Slater responded to the emergency calls issued on June 15, 1963 by President Lincoln and by Pennsylvania Gov. Andrew Curtin, for volunteers to repel the Confederate invasion which was coming up into Pennsylvania from the Shenandoah Valley. The defense of Harrisburg was the top priority of Gov. Curtin and Gen. Darius Couch, the newly-appointed commander of the Department of the Susquehanna of the Army of the Potomac.
Despite the fact that his arm was still in a sling, Slater reenlisted on June 16, and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in Company A of the 26th Emergency Volunteer Regiment, and helped to lead a newly-enlisted group of students in attempting to delay the Confederate troop movements.
Company A was in fact the first unit to be formed in response to Lincoln's and Curtin's call; it was initially composed of 61 young men from Pennsylvania (now Gettysburg) College and the Lutheran Theological Seminary, and 21 men from the town of Gettysburg.
Other enlistees in Company A were Cpl. David Yount (Slater's future brother-in-law), Samuel Pennypacker (later Governor of Pennsylvania), and H.M.M. Richards (grandson of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg), who later graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, led the Pennsylvania German Society and other historical societies, and wrote extensively about German-Americans in the French-Indian War and the Revolutionary War.
The Gettysburg students were mustered into the Union Army in Harrisburg, underwent but a few days of rudimentary training, and on June 23, were deployed with the 26th Regiment, numbering 743 men, to Gettysburg. Other volunteer regiments were deployed to protect the railroads in York County, and the bridge crossing the Susquehanna at Wrightsville, south of Harrisburg (where present-day U.S. Route 30 crosses the river between York and Lancaster).
On June 26, as the young men of the 26th were positioned west of Gettysburg along the Cashtown (Chambersburg) Turnpike and adjacent roads, along came Jubal Early's Division of Ewell's Corps. approaching from the west. On that morning, Early sent a brigade of Georgia infantry and a battalion of Virginia cavalry down the turnpike toward Gettysburg. In the van was Elijah White's 35th Va. Cavalry. When White's experienced cavalry met the green militia volunteers, it was no contest. The regiment scattered and ran; 175 were taken prisoner. There were no deaths.
As Chamberlin and Souders note: "His [Slater's] presence assured that there would be Loudouners on both sides when the first shots were fired at Gettysburg that afternoon."
This was an insignificant skirmish which had very significant consequences; indeed, some identify this as one of the reasons that the decisive battle of the Civil War is now known as the Battle of Gettysburg – rather than, perhaps, the Battle of Susquehanna or Harrisburg.vi
The previous days' experience in routing the green militia forces contributed to the over-confidence of Confederate leaders and the June 30 decision of Gen. Henry Heth to attack Gettysburg, in belief that he would only be facing inexperienced militia troops. As they headed toward Gettysburg in search of shoes and provisions, Heth and his men assumed that the troops that they spotted on the ridges west of town were mere militia soldiers. It was surely an "uh oh" moment, when Heth's troops realized they were facing regulars of the Army of the Potomac – and the Battle of Gettysburg, the turning point in the War, was on.
What was Slater doing for the rest of the war?
According to a notation in his service records, he was detailed to the Signal Corps by Maj. Gen. D. N. Couch, the Commander of the Department of the Susquehanna. A Gettysburg college history says that three men from Co. A were detailed to the Signal Corps: two of them being Luther Slater and his future brother-in-law, Cpl. David Yount. Slater's service records show him being mustered out of the regiment on July 30, 1863.
One of Slater's obituaries (the Washington Herald) stated that he served in the Hospital Corps for the remainder of the war.
Goodhart's history of the Loudoun Rangers reports that in November 1863, while there was an effort being made to bring the Loudoun Rangers up to battalion strength, Slater served on a volunteer basis as the acting Captain of the newly-formed Company C (which had been formed starting in July in Lovettsville by Charles F. Anderson, who died in a fall at Bolivar on Nov. 1). Later in November, Means ordered Companies B, C, and D consolidated into a new Company B, which numbered about 60 men. (Slater's temporary leadership of provisional Company C may be why he was referred to as "Captain Slater" later in life.)
Cavalry officer, Provost Marshall, Signal Corps, Hospital Corps: Slater was a versatile individual. We know not exactly all of what he was doing during the last two years of the war, but judging from the impressive collection of those writing letters of recommendation for his appointment as a hospital steward in 1867 (see below), he somehow had established connections with a number of senior Army flag officers.
In November 1864, Luther married his "guardian angel" Mollie Yount at Gettysburg, with Prof. F. A. Muhlenberg officiating. They had their first child, Effie, in September 1865.
By the Spring of 1865, Slater and Mollie had returned to Lovettsville. On June 1, 1865 – the first post-war election in Loudoun County — he was elected one of four Constables for Lovettsville. Then on July 3, 1865, Luther Slater was appointed as Postmaster in Lovettsville, a political-appointment which he held until April 9, 1867.
In 1867, Slater enlisted as a Hospital Steward in the U.S. Army, thus beginning of a 42-year civilian career at the War Department headquarters in Washington. He was recommended by three U.S. Army Generals and a United States Senator:
Brig. Gen. John W. Geary: then-Col. Geary occupied Lovettsville and northern Loudoun County in February 1862 for about a month; was greeted with enthusiasm in Lovettsville and northwest Loudoun, but received a less-than-warm welcome in Leesburg.
Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler: well-known politician and Union General; occupied New Orleans and Norfolk, action during the siege of Petersburg; before war, was in Massachusetts legislature; after the war, was a five-term U.S. Congressman, and then Governor of Massachusetts.
Brig. Gen. James A. Eakin: Assistant Quartermaster of the U.S. Army; served on the Military Commission that tried the Lincoln conspirators at Ft. McNair. (He recommended clemency for Mary Surrat, based upon his Christian principles, but was overruled by the full Commission.)
United States Senator Waitman T. Willey: Unionist Senator from Va. July 1861-March 1863; elected Senator from W. Va. in 1863 as a Unionist; Republican Senator from W. Va. 1865-1871.
Slater was detailed to clerical work in the Office of the Surgeon General in Washington. In the late 1870s he was a clerk in the Records and Pensions Office, which later became part of the Office of the Adjutant General. He was rapidly promoted, and worked closely with the colorful and controversial Fred C. Ainsworth, head of the Record and Pension Office, and later The Adjutant General and Military Secretary. Ainsworth is known for his insistence on the integrity of original records, especially muster rolls, and his establishment of the card-file system used by the War Department to compile service and pension records for veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. This system, still used today, involved transferring information from the original service records and hospital records to index cards, which greatly expedited the processing of pension applications from veterans and their widows and children.vii

Re-Mustered in, twenty years later
Slater's military records reveal a strange series of events occurring in the 1880s, reflecting the ad hoc nature of the original formation of the Loudoun Rangers. On January 23, 1883, Slater, now at the Surgeon General's Office, filed an "Application for Certificate in Lieu of Lost Discharge." In a sworn statement, he said he had been discharged on or about February 18, 1863 at Berlin, Md., but that his Discharge Certificate was lost or destroyed on or about the 26th of June, 1863, near Gettysburg. "I was there 2nd Lieut., Co. A, 26th Reg. Pa. Vol. Militia; the reg. was operating in vicinity of Gettysburg; the discharge was in my baggage; the train in which the baggage was, was burned by the enemy."
When the Army started investigating, they also discovered that there was no muster-in record for Slater – or for any of the Loudoun Rangers. (Captain Means was not a military man, and wasn't familiar with military record-keeping; and whatever records were created of the initial enlistments and muster-in in the summer of 1862, were lost during the Harpers Ferry breakout in September of that year.)
The Army's solution was that on February 1, 1883, the Assistant Adjutant General ordered an "office muster-in" for Slater, to date retroactively from June 20, 1862. On February 2, a Muster-In Roll was created for Slater. Under "Remarks," it was written: "Being unable to procure the original muster in roll this one is made from the best information obtainable, and, is an official muster." It was signed by the Assistant Adjutant General. At the same time, to deal with his discharge, an Extract of Special Orders No. 49, Headquarters, Middle Department, 8th Army Corps, dated February 19, 1863, was provided, showing that Slater had been honorably discharged. (The same procedure for an "office muster in" was also performed for other former Loudoun Rangers.)viii
Similar confusion arose three years later, in February, 1886, when Slater filed for an increase in his disability pension. At this time another search for muster rolls of the Loudoun Rangers was undertaken, and the result was, again, that no evidence of the original muster-in from June 1862 could be found. The Adjutant General's Office sent Slater a copy of his honorable discharge, and informed him that his record had been completed by showing him mustered in on June 20, 1862. The "Certificate in Lieu of Discharge" identified Slater as "formerly a 1st. Lt. in Co. A, 3d Regiment of W.Va. Cav, Independent Loudoun Rangers."
Why West Virginia? By this time, the War Department had apparently decided to classify the Loudoun Rangers as part of the 3rd Regiment, West Virginia Cavalry. This had always been the case from the standpoint of the Restored Government of Virginia, which regarded the Loudoun Rangers as part of the 3rd Virginia Cavalry; the newly-created state of West Virginia (1863) also treated the Loudoun Rangers as a detached company (Co. F) of the 3rd W. Va. Cavalry. ix
Slater seems to have accepted this designation. In his initial application for membership in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) in March 1892, he listed his service as with the "Co. A., Loudoun Rangers, Va. Cav." but then by October of that year, he is listed as "Independent Battalion, West Virginia Cavalry." The West Virginia Cavalry designation for Slater remained in use up through the MOLLUS circular published at the time of his death in 1909.
Post-war personal, church, and fraternal life
As we noted, Luther and Mollie Slater had moved to Washington City in the fall of 1867 (his uncle William Slater and cousins Isaac and William Slater were already living there).
In 1871, tragedy struck. Mollie gave birth to their second child, a son David, on April 8, 1871. She died about seven weeks later, on June 3, in Washington, and the infant David died nine days later, on June 12.
Mollie and her infant son are both buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Gettysburg, in the shadow of the monument commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
Three years later, Slater re-married, to his cousin, Margaret Prentice Slater. A few years after that, he built a handsome brick house at 442 New Jersey Avenue, S.E. in Washington, next to a home built by Isaac Slater a few years earlier. Both houses are still standing today.
In Washington, Luther Slater was a founding member of the Lutheran Church of the Reformation on Capitol Hill, and he was probably instrumental in obtaining, from the War Department, use of an old Army barracks as Reformation's first place of worship – located at the site of the present-day Capital South Metro station. Worship began in the old Barracks building in May 1869, although Reformation's founding members had been meeting as early as 1866 or 1867. The congregation was formally organized with a pastor appointed in October 1869. "Captain and Mrs. Luther W. Slater" are listed first among the names of those associated with the church at this time; also listed is his brother-in-law David Yount, Luther's uncle William Slater, and uncle William's sons I.C. (Isaac) Slater and William F. Slater.
Slater served as an elder and a trustee of that church, and also as the congregation's treasurer and Sunday School Superintendent. He was forced to resign from the latter position in 1875 because of a "weak throat." He also served on the Farming Committee of the Lutheran Home for the Aged.
Around 1880, Reformation appointed a Building Committee to look for a new church home to replace the old Barracks church. Luther Slater was appointed to that committee. In January 1881, the church purchased a property at Pennsylvania Avenue and B St., and a new church was built there, which was dedicated in 1883. That building served the congregation until 1933, when it was demolished to make way for the expansion of the Library of Congress and the construction of the Adams Building, with the new church building being located on East Capitol Street, across from the Folger Shakespeare Library, where it stands today.
During 1907, "A brass pulpit was dedicated in the memory of Mr. I. C. Slater, elder and Sunday school superintendent," and somewhat later, "A brass lectern was presented in memory of Mr. L. W. Slater, elder and Sunday school teacher," according to a church history.
Portraits of Luther and Isaac Slater were located at the church in 2012 through the efforts of Mr. George Hutchison, and after their discovery, they were hung in the church's fellowship hall, having been "restored to their rightful place," in Mr. Hutchison's words. The portraits are now on display in the church library.
Slater was also a founding member of the Freedom Lodge No. 118 of the Masonic Order in Lovettsville right after the Civil War, and served as its Secretary from 1965 to 1967. Its founding members were almost all Unionists.
In 1888, Slater was listed as a member of St. John's Lodge No. 11 in Washington, D.C., and he was also a member of the Masonic Veterans Association at that time. He does not appear to have remained active in the Masons or the Veterans Association.
In 1892, Slater was received into the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), the organization of Union officers who had served in the Civil War. He was elected to membership as an "original companion" of the District of Columbia Commandery of the Loyal Legion on December 7, 1892, and remained a companion for the rest of his life.
Slater died of a sudden illness in 1909. In the record of deaths and funerals at Reformation Lutheran Church, after the entry marking Luther Slater's death, there is the simple notation: "A good man." In an obituary in the Washington Herald, Adjutant General of the U.S. Army Fred Ainsworth described Slater as "most faithful," and said that "his loss to the Department will be most difficult to replace."
A few years after his death, an address that had been written by Luther Slater was read at the 50th Anniversary Reunion of the Loudoun Rangers, held on August 24, 1912 at Taylorstown; the address, read by the Rev. Dr. John Weidley of the Reformation church, was described in a newspaper account as "a rare treat for all present." 500 people were in attendance, including Confederate veterans.x
Slater was buried in Lovettsville Union Cemetery, along with his second wife Margaret, his daughter Effie Hickman from his first marriage, and his grand-daughters Louise Hickman and Clara Hickman.
In November 2008, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion honored Luther Slater by sponsoring the repairs and the rededication of his gravesite monument in Lovettsville Union Cemetery.

i Two other commissioned officers in the Loudoun Rangers, Charles F. Anderson and Robert Graham, are buried in Waterford. All the other Union officers, including Loudouners who served in the Potomac Home Brigade, are buried out-of-state.
ii Primary sources on the Loudoun Rangers are records of the National Archives. The most important secondary sources are (1) Briscoe Goodhart's 1896 History of the Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers, (2) the thoroughly researched and documented 2011 account by Taylor M. Chamberlin and John M. Souders, Between Reb and Yank: A Civil War History of Northern Loudoun County Virginia, and (3) Lee Stone's The Independent Loudoun Rangers: The Roster of Virginia's Only Union Cavalry Unit (Waterford Foundation 2016), with Forward and Appendix by Edward Spannaus.
iii Slater was one of 28 members of the New Jerusalem congregation to enlist over in Company "A" of the Loudoun Rangers, according to research done by the late Pastor Mike Kretsinger.
iv Interestingly, both Elijah White and Luther Slater had also attended church-sponsored colleges out of state. White first attended Lima Seminary in western New York, a Methodist school which eventually evolved into Syracuse University. He then spent two years at Granville College in central Ohio (an area into which many Loudouners had transplanted themselves). Granville was a Baptist college which later became known as Denison University. In the pre-Civil War period, Granville College was a hotbed of anti-slavery sentiment – which probably would not have been to Elijah's liking. It is likely that Slater and White were the only two men at the Waterford fight who had been to college, and, given their course of study, it is possible that both were originally preparing to enter the ministry.
v Mollie (Mary Ann Elizabeth) Yount was the daughter of Israel Yount, the proprietor of the Washington House Hotel in Gettysburg. Today the Lincoln Diner occupies the site of the old Hotel.
vi Gettysburg was not a major objective of the Southerners. The CSA plan was only to obtain supplies in Gettysburg (particularly, shoes), then to cut the railroad at York, and then to proceed toward Harrisburg both from the west, and also from the southeast via York and Lancaster. to prepare the way for the capture of the state capital, on the way to Baltimore and to Washington (or, as Dennis Frye, chief historian at Harpers Ferry National Park suggests, Philadelphia).
vii Gen. Ainsworth was also known for his confrontation in 1911 with Army Chief of Staff Leonard Wood and Secretary of War Henry Stimson, which resulted in Ainsworth being court-martialed. Ainsworth was a leader of the "traditionalist" faction within the Army and the War Department, who resisted the reforms championed by Secretary of War Elihu Root which resulted in the creation of a General Staff in 1903. Under the reorganization, the functions of the Adjutant General's office and the Record and Pension Office were combined in 1904 under the new Military Secretary, who was Ainsworth. In 1907 Congress restored the Office of The Adjutant General (OAG), with Ainsworth as its head. Slater, as a top aide to Ainsworth, stayed with him during these various reorganizations.
viii The records of the "office muster in" are found in Slater's Volunteer Service file at the National Archives: 1110 V.S. 1883, Record Group 94, Entry 476; Walz 186 – '67, filed with W 463 – V.S. '62.

No sooner had these important books come out in print than new types and varieties began to appear at the rate of almost 100 a year. This rapid growth of material made necessary the development of a system that could keep up with the coins. The Seleucid Coins Addenda System (SCADS) is intended to provide online access to the new material that has appeared since 2008. As there is no indication that the flow of previously unrecorded types and varieties will stop anytime soon, it is expected that the SCADS database will continue to grow over time. Interested parties will be instantly notified of new additions to the database through alerts on Facebook, Twitter, and direct email subscription.
The coins in the SCADS database are categorized by ruler, making it easy for users to find all new entries for a particular king with a single click. Extensive tagging of entry content allows for full searchability. Thus, for example, a user interested in all new material depicting Apollo would simply enter "Apollo" as the search criterion and SCADS would provide all the relevant entries. If a user was interested only in Apollo on issues of bronze denomination C, "denomination C" could be added to narrow down the search. The coins in the database have all been given a unique catalogue number (SCADS1, SCADS2, SCADS3, etc.) for ease of reference, but these only reflect the order of entry and are not tied to the numbering system used in the Seleucid Coins volumes.

GoBots is a line of transforming robot toys produced by Tonka from 1983 to 1987, similar to Hasbro's Transformers. Although initially a separate and competing line of toys, Tonka's Gobots became the intellectual property of Hasbro after their buyout of Tonka in 1991. Subsequently, the universe depicted in the animated series Challenge of the GoBots and follow-up film GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords was established as an alternate universe within the  Transformers multiverse. While Hasbro now owns the fictional side of the property (character names, bios, storyline), the actual toys and their likenesses were only licensed from Bandai in the 1980s, were not covered by the Tonka acquisition, and are not available for Hasbro use.

History
The GoBot toy line was based on figures produced by Popy of Japan (the now-defunct character division of Bandai), named Machine Robo. In another similarity to Transformers, Tonka decided to make the figures sentient robots, rather than human-piloted mecha as they had been in Japan, and divided them into two factions – the good Guardians and evil Renegades (although early figures were simply described as 'Friendly' or 'Enemy' on the packaging). The figures were all given individual names, in contrast to the simple designations they received in Japan.

Introduced in 1983 by Tonka Inc., the GoBots toys were part of the robot "sensation" that swept the nation for a short time.

The line sold well initially but was overtaken by Transformers. 1987 was the final year in which new Gobots were released. In 1991, Hasbro acquired the GoBots range from Tonka Inc.

Releases
Tonka released the first batch of figures to stores in 1983, one year prior to the Transformers. The bulk of the Gobot line was taken from the Machine Robo '600 Series' line of figures, which were around 5–8 cm / 2-3 inches high on average. The robot figures transformed into a mixture of generic and specific contemporary machines, plus a handful of Second World War fighter aircraft, and a number of futuristic designs. This unnamed assortment, usually referred to as 'Regular' Gobots, was used throughout the four years Gobots were produced and was later supplemented by figures from the Machine Robo Devil Invaders sub-line, plus some aborted Machine Robo figures and some commissioned from Bandai by Tonka.

Larger figures, averaging around 12–15 cm (5-6 inches) tall in robot mode, were released as Super Gobots. Some of these were drawn from the Machine Robo Scale Robo DX line, some from the MR Big Machine Robo line (these included larger versions of Leader-1, the Guardian leader, and Cy-Kill, the Renegade leader) and some designs not released in Japan. The line also included two gestalt-style figures, the car-based Puzzler and monster-based Monsterous.

Several other ranges were drawn from existing Bandai figures (such as the Secret Riders ).

Tonka did design some toys for the line, including the Guardian Command Center and Renegade Thruster playsets, and the motorized Renegade Zod. In addition to these, two versions of the Power Warrior were made for both the Guardians and the Renegades, using molds from the Machine Robo line and recolored. The Nemesis Power Warrior used a tank for the center body and was released only in Japan. A large playset called the Gobotron Fortress was also shown to have existed in various articles and catalogues, but it has never been released.

A spin-off line, Rock Lords, crossed over with the Gobots in the feature film GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords, and was issued as a separate toy line by Tonka in 1986.

Media

Hanna-Barbera produced a cartoon series called Challenge of the GoBots to promote the toy line, which ran for 65 22-minute episodes from 1984 to 1985. In 1986, soon after the end of the Challenge of the Gobots television series, the Gobots co-starred with the Rock Lords in an animated feature film GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords, again produced by Hanna-Barbera.

In 1984, two Gobot children's books were published by Golden Books, an imprint of Western Publishing. The books, titled War of the Gobots and Gobots on Earth, were written by Robin Snyder and illustrated by Steve Ditko, and chronicled the origins of the Gobots. The Gobots were also featured in the 1986 book Collision Course Comet - Robo Machine Featuring The Challenge Of The Gobots and the 1985 book The Wagner Sirens-Robo Machine Featuring The Challenge Of The Gobots, both of which were published by Egmont Books.

The closest thing to a Gobot comic book was the Gobots Magazine, produced by Telepictures Publishing. This included a short comic strip, based on the Challenge of the GoBots cartoon continuity, as well as features on real-life robots, quiz pages and the like. It ran quarterly from winter 1986 to winter 1987, managing five issues. Unlike the Transformers comics, it was aimed at a very young readership.

In the UK, a Robo Machines comic strip was produced, using many of the characters from the Gobot line, but following a different continuity than the cartoon. This was written by Tom Tully, and ran in the second volume of Eagle from November 1984 to July 1985. After Fleetway discontinued their licence agreement, the property was leased to World Distributors, who produced annuals following the cartoon continuity in 1986 and 1987.

A Gobots video game was released in 1986 by Ariolasoft for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum computer formats. Gobots software for other computers, home video game systems or coin-operated arcade game systems is unknown at this time.

It was announced that Hasbro has applied for a new Go-Bots trademark (this is not a renewal) under "distribution of motion pictures, ongoing television programs" and "Toys, games and playthings, namely, toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith.

In October 2018, IDW began publishing a Go-Bots mini series written and illustrated by Tom Scioli.

Worldwide

Unlike Transformers, Gobots was released in several guises around the world.
 In the UK, France and a number of other European countries, Bandai released the figures as Robo Machine, utilising most of the Tonka names. Later on, when the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon arrived, this was changed, or modified (often resulting in clumsy branding such as Robo Machines featuring Challenge of the Gobots or Challenge of the Gobots - A Robo Machine Production).
 In Australia, the line was released as Machine Men. The Machine Men name had been used also by Bandai in an item to market Machine Robo in America in early 1984, but after issuing six figures the line failed. However, Bandai's Australian release was successful enough to retain the Machine Men branding, which was even added to the cartoon when that began airing.
 In Brazil, the line was initially produced by Glasslite as Mutante. The license was later taken over by Mimo.
 It was also translated into Arabic and retitled Hikayat alamaliqa, or A Tale of Giants.
 In Japan, Bandai opted to keep with the Machine Robo line, rather than importing the Gobots due to licensing issues.

Transformers

In 1991, Hasbro took over Tonka, and thus the Gobot trademarks; the molds for the action figures remain the property of Bandai, having only been leased to Tonka, and some were reissued in 1993 for the European Robo Machines line. Since then, the trademarks have been used several times — a character called Gobots was released in 1993, a range of figures in 1995 was called the Go-Bots, and Hasbro subsidiary Playskool issued a line named Transformers: Gobots in 2002. To this date, there have been a few exclusives referencing GoBots, but they have all been recolors of other Transformer molds as opposed to new figures. Examples of this are the Transformers 2007 movie-themed Fracture (based on Crasher) and Backtrack (based on Night Ranger; unreleased, but shown in promotional materials) and Revenge of the Fallen figures Deadlift (based on Spoons) and Reverb (based on Dart). Also, Botcon 2007 Bugbite, an off-white repaint of Classics Bumblebee, was released as the second Bug Bite toy in Transformers. The first Bug Bite was a Japanese-exclusive white repaint of Generation 1 Bumblebee which retained Bug Bites VW Beetle vehicle mode. The color change to white was due to Bumblebee and Bug Bite sharing the colors yellow and black in their original competing releases.

The name Leader-1 was reused for Transformers Armada Megatron's mini-con in 2002.

While Hasbro has used current toy technology to update their G1 Transformer characters over the years, it is unlikely that Gobots will receive similar treatment, as the molds—and thus, the original character designs—belong to Bandai.

In 1995, a line of Transformers called Go-Bots (small, Matchbox-sized car Transformers which had racing axles) were released, including Bumblebee, Double Clutch, High Beam, Ironhide, Megatron, Mirage, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Sideswipe, and Frenzy. Of the 6 molds produced, 15 Go-Bot characters were released, including the 1995 BotCon convention exclusive figure, Nightracer (a recoloring of Go-Bot Bumblebee). Subsequent uses of these molds were renamed Spy Changers.

Gearhead was used to demonstrate the Hasbro Go-Bots line at Toy Fair 1995. They were described by the pitch-man as "The all-new, most mind-blowing, laser-slashing, robot-bashing product line ever!"

Guillermo Gutierrez in the 2018 film Bumblebee (film) asks the protagonist Charlie Watson if the Transformers are like the fictional toy line Gobots in a deleted scene on the Blu-Ray. The film is set in 1987.

Demey R (compiler). 2014. Recent reports. Bulletin of the African Bird Club 21(2):239-252.
Several flocks of Village Weavers were seen along Nile at Karima, in Sudan, on 19-20 April 2014 by Tom Jenner (purple marker). This is a range extension northwards by nearly 400km from Khartoum, from where there are many breeding records (red markers). There are records of Village Weaver in Egypt, even further north of its normal range (see news).
For a species account and map of the Village Weaver see species text.


Chatter is intensifying and the topic seems to be the 2019 iPhone line-up. In a recent report, Japanese blog Macotakara claims that there will be two new 2019 iPhone models. They will allegedly have a 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch OLED display. This information is in direct contradiction with previous rumors that suggested this year's iPhones will be direct successors of the 2018 models, with little-to-no design changes and some spec-bumps.
The reason behind these two new models would allegedly be, according to the report, the adoption of the triple-camera setup we've seen leaked over the past couple of weeks and months. Physical changes are also mentioned, required by the larger size of the sensor behind that triple-camera setup. The report suggests that the 6.1-inch OLED variant will be 0.15mm thicker than the current iPhone Xs. The camera hump, however, will be 0.5 mm thinner, less protruding.
As far as the larger model is concerned, it would be about 0.4mm thicker than the iPhone Xs Max, but the camera hump might be narrowed by 0.25mm. Other reports have surfaced in the past couple of days contradicting the current one, but this is normal in this stage. Different sources claim different bits of information, but keep being skeptical, as things will be clearer as we get closer to the autumn iPhone event.

Hello! Here's what's happening on Thursday.
1. President Trump reportedly thinks he doesn't need to prepare for his summit with North Korea. Aides say a detailed plan to prepare the president has yet to surface.
2. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team toldTrump's lawyers they can't indict a sitting president, according to Rudy Giuliani. Legal experts have deemed an indictment against Trump unlikely.
3. Japan is considering retaliatory tariffs on US exports worth $US409 million. The move follows Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.
4. Police searched five properties linked to Malaysia's allegedly corrupt former prime minister.Nearly $US700 million from a state fund was reportedly found in Najib Razak's personal accounts in 2015.
5. Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen offered Qatar access to the administration for $US1 million. Cohen has leveraged his close ties to Trump in order to receive millions of dollars in consulting deals.
6. China launched its first privately developed rocket into orbit. China has focused on becoming a "space flight superpower" and plans to send a permanent manned space station into orbit by 2022.
7. The FBI is "deeply concerned" about espionage from companies like Chinese tech giant ZTE. Trump has said he wants to help ZTE resume business after US sanctions effectively crippled the company.
8. Facebook is about to be hit with a "flood of lawsuits" in the EU.Europe's tough new data privacy law, GDPR, will come into effect next week.
9. Most of the protestors killed in Gaza on Monday were Hamas members. A senior official said 50 of the 58 casualties were members of the militant group, while the rest were "from the people."
10. Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano is causing earthquakes after spouting massive "ballistic blocks."On Tuesday evening, the US Geological Survey raised its alert level for Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano indicating it could become "more explosive."
Before-and-after photos show the destruction from the ongoing volcanic eruptions in Hawaii.

If you're involved in deal-making professionally, chances are you've encountered search funds and fundless sponsors frequently this year. Although they were virtually unknown (or incognito) just a few years ago, fundless models seem to be cropping up in deal competition everywhere. Multiple factors have contributed to their popularity and competitive position in lower middle market acquisitions.
The International Business Broker Association (IBBA) and M&A Source present the Market Pulse Quarterly Survey Report in partnership with ongoing research conducting by the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project at Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management. The national quarterly Market Pulse survey was created to gain an accurate understanding of the market conditions for businesses being sold in the Main Street market (values $0 to $2 million) and lower middle market (values $2 million to $50 million). The survey was conducted with the intent of providing a valuable resource to business owners, potential purchasers, and their advisors.
Over 3,000 small and mid-size business owners responded to a 25-question survey about expectations, projections and operations in 2014.
Presented by the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project.
This year's Chase Business Leaders Outlook survey included executives from two groups: small business leaders with annual sales between $100,000 and $20 million, and middle market business leaders with annual sales between $20 million and $500 million. Surveying both audiences for the second year in a row provides a holistic view of the opportunities, challenges and trends facing a wide range of American businesses—and provides insight into how their outlooks compare to one another based on size and strategic goals, and how they differ from 2013.
In broad terms, middle market business leaders appear to be more optimistic about the national economy, their local economies and their own company's performance than small business leaders. However, respondents from mid-sized businesses are more concerned than ones from small businesses about regulations and labor issues, and appear to have higher expectations for revenue and sales growth for the coming year. Small businesses are less concerned about government fiscal policy than middle market businesses but are more concerned about payroll and employment taxes.
When people think about small businesses, they often think about those in what is known as the lower middle market. These businesses typically do more than $5 million a year in sales, and they often have more than 25 employees. It's good work if you can get it. For one thing, if your business is in this group, you are likely to get regular offers from people who are interested in buying your company. But a lot of people don't realize how tough it is to get there.
Richard S. Ruback of Harvard Business School and ABRY Partners provides an in-depth report on the Lower Middle Market. Published in April of 2012.


Our bike for the little ones. Robust, easy to handle and absolutely safe – these were the requirements for our first kids' balance bike. The result is the ROSE NOOB, our racer for kids that allows the bikers of tomorrow to soon conquer their first trails.
Just like its big brothers, the mini ROSE bike is equipped with finest components, that all meet the EN-71 toy safety standard at that. The handlebar grips, for instance, come from the Finnish manufacturer Herrmans that designs grips that are especially suitable for children's hands. Their highlight: The 1-component grips come with a secure flange to prevent the hands from slipping and taking the hit when falling with the bike to the side. The ROSE NOOB rolls on Schwalbe Big Apple tyres that smoothly guide the little ones over the roads, thanks to a built-in air suspension. In addition, the tyres feature reflective stripes for good visibility in the dark. A total weight of only 3,35 kg allows young children to easily get going. If the offspring does not feel like cycling anyway, mummy and daddy can comfortably carry the bike thanks to a handle underneath the saddle. Blue, red or pink? Depending on the child's preferences, the colour of the saddle and handlebar grips can be selected in the bike configurator. As standard, they come in classic black. The frame is available in a bright lime green and in a more discreet deep blue.

The files of an estimated 75,000 individuals were accessed in a breach of Healthcare.gov for Affordable Care Act enrollment, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS said it detected anomalous activity in the federally facilitated exchanges or direct enrollment pathway for agents and brokers. The direct enrollment pathway, launched in 2013, allows agents and brokers to assist consumers with applications for coverage. While 75,000 represents a small fraction of consumer records, any breach of the system is unacceptable, CMS said.


Race, what is that? Race is a competition, somebody winning and somebody losing. Blood doesn't run in races! Come on!
Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, and cocoa. Add to the butter mixture. Stir in the pecans. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat to a ⅛-inch thickness. Cut with a 1-inch round cookie cutter. (If you don't have one this size, use a well-floured bottle cap.) Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the sheets and cool on wire racks.
While the cookies are cooling, in a medium-size saucepan, melt the caramels with the milk. Stir until smooth. Place about ½ teaspoon caramel on top of one cookie and top with another cookie. (If the caramel runs off the cookie, wait a couple of minutes for it to thicken.) Chill for about 15 minutes to set the caramel.
Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave or the top of a double boiler until smooth. If you're using the microwave, place the chocolate in a shallow bowl, heat for 1 minute, stir, heat for 30 seconds more, and stir. The chocolate will be more melted than it looks; don't burn it! Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and dip each cookie in melted chocolate. Place on wax paper to cool.
Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 seconds or the top of a double boiler. Drizzle each cookie with a light band of white chocolate.
