Gosh, is it really only 25 schools? or is it 25 schools in Birmingham?.
I read a quote from a cabinet member this morning claiming that 'the UK stands on the edge of a precipice'.
Unfortunately that quote related to the latest set of ludicrous climate change predictions rather than a genuine issue like the islamification of major cities in the UK.
The politicians/authorities are up their necks in trouble, all caused by mass immigration. Serves them right! Trouble is that we, the people, have to suffer for their foul up. If ever we were in need of a change of narrative, we are today. Change it now! Islam is not a 'religion of peace' but a religion which brings with it only trouble and strife. Can't the fools look around them and observe? In each and every country where Islam is strong, there is trouble and strife. Yet these fools keep on with the narrative of Islam being a 'religion of peace'.
Once Blair and New Labour opened our borders to the Indian Sub Continent and later Eastern Europe they started a chain of events that will only end in either a complete change in the Political Landscape of the UK or large scale revolt and or civil conflict. The choice is ours, the time to vote the right way is now, there will always be about 30% of the Electorate who will always support Socialism and Cultural Marxism for various reasons, its pointless attempting to reason with such people, better to leave them be with their ignorance and delusion and hope at least some may grow wiser with time and open their eyes before it is too late for us all.
Remember how society in the UK used to be? Remember when it was basically split by class, but basically everyone's aim was broadly the same and everyone thought of themselves of British first and they would put British values first? It's just a memory now. There are millions of people who put Islam and the spread of it first, and millions of others hell bent on letting them do that. Welcome to your future, one of two societies living side by side in one country – can only end in tears.
Thanks Labour for this, and thanks to the coalition for not doing anything about it.

De Dominicanenkerk, ook wel Zoutekerkje of (officieel) Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Rozenkranskerk is een kerkgebouw in de tot de gemeente Knokke-Heist behorende plaats Het Zoute, gelegen aan de Sparrendreef.

Geschiedenis
De bouw van deze kerk en het bijbehorende Dominicanenklooster paste in de villawijk, die ontworpen was door Josef Stübben in opdracht van de Compagnie Immobilière du Zoute, de projectontwikkelingsmaatschappij van de familie Lippens.

De kerk kwam gereed in 1925 en het klooster in 1927. Oorspronkelijk was de kerk gewijd aan Sint-Filippus, maar in 1935 werd ze gewijd aan Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Rozenkrans.

Het geheel is in neoromaanse stijl, een ontwerp van Joseph Viérin. De houten kap verwijst naar de Halle van Nieuwpoort en de toren werd geïnspireerd door de kerktorens van Knokke en Heist: Achthoekige lantaarn op vierkante basis. Kerk en kloostergebouwen zijn gegroepeerd om een vierkante kloostergang.

Het geheel is wit geschilderd, in overeenstemming met de stijl van de omringende villa's.

Rugby: Argentina will not hold back in attacking England, says new coach
Argentina will not be afraid to take risks and go on the offensive against England when the teams clash at Twickenham on Saturday, said new coach Daniel Hourcade (above) on Tuesday, Nov 5, 2013. -- FILE PHOTO: REUTERS
https://str.sg/wG2e
LONDON (Reuters) - Argentina will not be afraid to take risks and go on the offensive against England when the teams clash at Twickenham on Saturday.
It is the Pumas' opening match of a three-test European tour.
Said new coach Daniel Hourcade yesterday: "For some time now, we've been trying to get better in attack and now we'll keep working to improve our attack and be able to score more points."
He took charge last week following the resignation of Santiago Phelan after Argentina's last-place finish in the elite southern hemisphere Rugby Championship.
England beat Australia 20-13 last Saturday while the Pumas have beaten England just once at Twickenham, in 2006.
Hourcade has made five changes from the Argentina team crushed 54-17 by Australia in their closing Rugby Championship match last month.

Outside of the financial markets, we seek deals on everything. We drive past three gas stations to find one that is a nickel cheaper. We shop at the Costco in the next town instead of the grocery store around the corner. We haggle with car dealers for hours to save a few hundred dollars. Juxtaposed to rational consumer behavior, investors frequently take the opposite tack. Interest in buying stocks and many other financial assets tend to rise as prices increase and decline when they get cheaper.
It is said that being a contrarian when markets are at major turning points can be lonely. To help those of you currently in this camp we introduce the rationality of professional value investor Eric Cinnamond (EC). In answering questions we posed to him, Eric provides insights into how he thinks about investing as well as the current investment environment. While he may not win a popularity contest, the logic he shares is irrefutable and extremely valuable.
Eric puts out a free investment letter that we consider a must read. His insight into small cap companies and the broader macro messages we can glean from these companies is invaluable. For access to his commentary, please email Eric directly.
In time, markets will correct, and valuations will normalize. When this occurs, we have no doubts that Eric will be in a great position to once again manage a portfolio and take advantage of prices that will be on sale. After all, isn't it low prices we should be chasing?

Myth-Busting the Meaning of Yakisugi

Myth-Busting the Meaning of Yakisugi2021-12-142021-12-13https://www.popularwoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/popwood_logos-01.pngPopular Woodworkinghttps://www.popularwoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/yakisugi-6.jpg200px200px
We may receive a commission when you use our affiliate links. However, this does not impact our recommendations.
This yakisugi covers an upscale hotel in the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture.
It isn't called shou sugi ban, nor is every charred workpiece in a project called yakisugi. It's simply a charred finish with its origins in Japan.
An important lesson I learned during my five-year military enlistment was the concept of always leaving something better than it was. My unit would ensure a range used during a field operation was cleaner than it was before we came. When required to check out a vehicle as a command driver, upon return, it was cleaned and topped back up with fuel. Borrowing any gear from a fellow Marine or the local supply was always returned pristine and organized, regardless of the state of receipt. This principle remained with me, even after I transitioned out of the military.
As artisans, our development involves borrowing concepts and techniques from those who came before us. The hope is that, beyond making quality bespoke products, through our training and guidance, access to information about our craft will increase. In turn, this will help preserve knowledge for future woodworkers. This dedication should be extended to all forms and techniques, especially when borrowed from other cultures, and more so with those that become a trend.
Origins of Words: Shou Sugi Ban
Several years ago, I was introduced to something called the "shou sugi ban" technique via social media. Touted as a Japanese finishing technique, it simply involved charring wood with fire. It seemed deceptively simple. Proponents of shou sugi ban purported its ability to protect wood, yet gave no information as to the mechanism of how the protection occurred. Living in Japan, I chose to invest some of my time to learn about it. Yet, after significant research locally and on the internet, I learned that everything being taught to approach this technique was misguided. Even the name being used for the trending hashtag is inaccurate. Shou sugi ban, as it is known in the west, is an incorrect misreading of the Japanese kanji used to form the word.
In Japanese, there are four total writing systems if you count Romaji, which is the Romanic alphabet used to assist non-Japanese readers with spelling and pronunciation. The other three are hiragana, katakana, and the most daunting, Kanji.
Why is Kanji daunting? Kanji are characters that were adopted by Japan from China. They are logographic symbols that represent a concept or object. Kanji characters are written strokes. The shortest being one stroke (一 which means one) to 25 or more strokes. A proficient reader knows around 2100 Kanji.
Each Kanji can have multiple ways to be read. For the example of one (一), it can be read as ichi, itsu, or hito. The first two are called the on-yomi reading and this pronunciation derived from Chinese reading. The second is kun-yomi and these are Japanese-language-derived specific readings.
Shou sugi ban is an incorrect reading of the word 焼杉板 or, in Romaji, yakisugita. The first (焼) encompasses the concept of burning or heating up. It is read as either shou or yaku. The last kanji (板) means board or plank. It can be read as ita, ban, or han. Since yakisugi is a vernacular construction technique derived in Japan, it carries the kun-yomi reading. The tangible board is called yakisugita. The technique is called yakisugi. It has unfortunately trended under an incorrect name for many years.
Only Cedar for Yakisugi
Through years of exposure to the natural elements, the dramatic textures are presented while still providing ample protection.
Another unfortunate aspect of this technique lost with the trend is found in the translation of the middle Kanji—sugi (杉). Sugi means cedar; specifically a species called Cryptomeria japonica, the national tree of Japan. This means that yakisugi can only be correctly done on cedar. Charring other species besides sugi invalidates the use of the word "yakisugi."
Sugi is a popular species for siding in Japan. With a long rainy season in the middle of the year, Japan has relatively high humidity between April and November, depending on latitude. Bugs can also be overwhelming during their active months. This has varying negative effects to homeowners like rot, mold, and infestation. Among the native tree species in Japan, sugi has the best properties for rot resistance from bugs and moisture.
Prior to experimentation with burning, carpenters would harvest sugi trees that were close to ocean water. Salt penetrating the fibers of the tree would increase the rot resistance properties. Due to high demand, salt-penetrated sugi became unsustainable. Carpenters discovered that burning the faces of the siding achieved similar rot resistance protection.
Though slightly counterintuitive, setting fire to the outer layer of wood also provides a level of fire protection as well. Once the wood has already been charred, it does not combust as easily. With 2-3 millimeters of burn, the structural support of the wood remains, but the external layer of carbon provides fire resistance. This is a desirable protection for those living in the countryside who do not have quick access to fire emergency services.
Yakisugi Examples in Japan
Yakisugi siding is common in rural areas of Japan. This house, close to my own, was built prior to World War II. The current resident's father purchased the house after the end of the war for his family. Though the house was not originally covered in yakisugi, it was added approximately 25 years ago.
The current resident, the original owner's daughter, has lived in the house for over 70 years. She is pleased with the yakisugi face that covers the house. Along with the beautiful texture of the burnt cedar boards, no maintenance has been required since hanging the siding.
Sugi planks are laid out and ready to be lashed together.
Burning like this could be easily achieved close to the building site and directly hung once burned without further treatment. To achieve consistent and quick charring, triangular prisms of sugi would be laced together with string. Tinder was then stuffed into the center of the prism, lit on fire, and placed upright to form a smokestack. Once flames poured out of the top, it was brought down, unlaced, doused in water, and hung as siding. Done like this, it would last decades with no further intervention. This Yakisugi cladding requires little maintenance, and when it does it can be quickly completed by either burning a new layer or simply replacing worn out stretches of cladding.
With ropes, a prism is made and the center cavity is filled with tinder.
The fire is lit from the bottom and the stack is engulfed in flames.
In modern yakisugi manufacturing, automated machines achieve burning the planks of sugi in batches. With easier access to oil-based finishes and hardeners, once boards are burned, coats of these finishes may also be applied to add even more protection. It is still a vernacular construction technique used in the countryside for farmhouses and storerooms, but it has made a resurgence in living spaces and office buildings.
After burning for several minutes, the ropes are cut and planks doused in water.
For a deep burn, this method can be dangerous without taking safety precautions.
You do not need an industrial machine or a prism structure to experiment with the yakisugi technique at home. A simple propane or MAPP gas torch will work. True yakisugi requires Japanese cedar but similar results can be obtained on other cedar species. Different increments of burning along the grain provide different textures. The charred layer needs to be able 2-3mm deep for adequate levels of protection. Once completed, no wire-brushing is necessary. An oil finish can be applied but is also unnecessary.
Alternatively, simple propane torches can be used to create a consistent burn.
This method requires more time but allows for more control and is slightly safer.
More important than experimenting with and implementing yakisugi, we should understand its history. The hope is that we, the community of woodworkers, will leave the collective knowledge of woodworking techniques better off than what we received. The start of this goal is to appreciate, respect, and correctly use those techniques, including the name of the techniques themselves.
In the realm of those techniques is yakisugi; it is not called shou sugi ban, nor is every charred workpiece in a project called yakisugi, the name being reserved for a specific species. As an alternative, one can call it a charred finish or a carbon layer. Please join me and a growing number of woodworkers in correcting this inaccurate terminology. Help us leave woodworkers of tomorrow accurate and more robust knowledge than what we received—knowledge that will last longer than yakisugi siding, hung beautifully on the side of a country farmhouse in rural Japan.

Great article by a woodworker, writer, historian and linguist all in one. It's not that builders shouldn't burn other woods (pine can look awesome), but you've done a lot to clear up the origins of the technique and the correct usage of the words.

Q: Mock theta function I am unable to find a formal definition of the order of the mock theta function. Can you explain briefly, what is the order of the mock theta function?

A: There is a formal definition. But Ramanujan did not define it clearly. His notion of order later turned out to correspond to the conductor of the Nebentypus character of the weight  $1⁄2$ harmonic Maass forms which admit Ramanujan's mock theta functions as their holomorphic projections. See wikipedia for definitions.

It's a National League showdown on Saturday afternoon at SunTrust Bank Stadium. The Milwaukee Brewers take on the Atlanta Braves.
These two teams have played three times so far this year with the Atlanta Braves winning two of those three games.
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a wonderful start to their season. They come into this game with a 40-35 record which is good enough for first place in the National League West.
The most encouraging thing about this team is they can win with good pitching and good offense.
On the mound for Brewers is Matt Garza who has a 3-3 record and an ERA of 4.42. He has been really inconstant as of late though. He comes into this game having given up four runs in three of the last four games.
He has gotten good run support though, in one of those games he picked up a win.
The Atlanta Braves had a terrible start to the season, but they have turned their season around as of late, and are playing much better.
They come into this game having won five of the last six games over the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins.
On the mound for the Braves is R.A. Dickey.
He has been about as inconsistent as his knuckle ball. He comes into this game with a 5-5 record and an ERA of 4.91.
In his last start however he had a great start going seven innings and giving up three hits and zero runs.
MIL are 2-8 in their last 10 Sat. games.
MIL are 7-3 in their last 10 overall.
MIL are 7-3 in their last 10 games on grass.
Under is 6-2 in ATL last 8 games as a favorite.
Under is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings.
MIL are 7-15 in the last 22 meetings in Atlanta.
This game is going to be a high scoring affair between two pitchers who are very inconsistent.
I think the Brewers have a little more offensive firepower and that will be the difference in this game.

It's the Dash-8 for Air Force One
Jan. 29, 2015 | By John A. Tirpak
The Air Force will base the next presidential transport, call sign Air Force One, on the Boeing 747-8, the service announced Wednesday. The Dash-8 "is the only aircraft manufactured in the United States," which when "fully missionized" can meet the project's stringent requirements, according to service Secretary Deborah Lee James. Made in the USA is important because the aircraft is "one of the most visible symbols of the United States of America," James said. The existing VC-25s are 747-200Bs, which have been flying since 1987. They've performed well, James said, but are afflicted with "parts obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing sources, and increased downtimes for maintenance" and they need to be replaced. Air Force One is a tough mission, she continued, because USAF must provide the President with "safe and reliable air transportation with high levels of security and communication capability as the alternate White House." The Dash-8 will provide that "for future Presidents." A service spokesman said USAF will acquire three aircraft in total. Separate requests for proposals—one for the airframe and one for mission equipment—will be issued this year, with a contract award expected in 2017. The first airplane that will be ready for modification to the Air Force One configuration is to be delivered in late 2018, and is to be operational in 2023. On this schedule, President Obama's successor might get to fly in it, assuming he or she wins two terms. The Dash-8 closely resembles the iconic 747, but with an extended upper deck and new wings.

The Honda Classic — Draft Kings Picks
Back to Florida golf. Conditions are going to be different than on the west coast, so we're going to have to look at historical play on Florida courses a little more than usual. Guys who live down there have a better chance than those who aren't used to the bermuda grass and windy and flat conditions. Just another thing to keep in mind.
Check out the preview here.
Note that these picks may change up to the start of the first round, but I won't get rid of players without writing about why they got dropped off my team.
Brooks Koepka ($9,500) — Back in the lineup here after he took a couple weeks off. From Florida, went to Florida State, and he lives in Florida so I can safely say he knows the conditions. And he's got to be itching to play well after that little break.
Fredrik Jacobson ($7,200) — Guy who knows the course. Apparently his worst finish in six years is T29. Gotta give credit where it's due. Got this pick over at pgatour.com.
Camilo Villegas ($6,400) — Decently cheap for a once good player who is still solid. Sticking with my theory of picking guys comfortable with Florida golf. Colombia has bermuda grass and he went to University of Florida for school. T41 last year at this event and has made his last two cuts, and four out of his last five.
Russell Henley ($8,300) — Defending champ. Best Russell (check the preview for the reference). Hasn't missed a cut all year. Not saying that he's a lock (since no one is a lock), but I like the trend.
Patrick Reed ($9,100) — Solid young player with tons of confidence. Knows the bermuda grass since he's from and played in Georgia, and hasn't missed a cut either. Funny to see his salary lower than Koepka's. Granted not by much, and I'd say that these two guys are about equal. So this all makes sense.
Lee Westwood ($9,300) — Westwood is making his US debut for 2015 here. Don't usually like picking players who haven't proven themselves recently, but Westwood has proven over his career that he can play and do well everywhere. My guess is that he'll play well here and his salary is only going to go up for the rest of the season.

Positive Topline Results For Seattle Genetics' Metastatic HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Study
Atossa Genetics, Inc.
By John Heerdink LinkedIn
Facebook0Linkedin0Email0
Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer have tumors with high levels of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which promotes the aggressive spread of cancer cells. An estimated 271,270 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2019.1 Between 15 and 20 percent of breast cancer cases worldwide are HER2-positive.2 Historically, HER2-positive breast cancer tends to be more aggressive and more likely to recur than HER2-negative breast cancer.2, 3, 4 In patients with metastatic breast cancer, the most common site of first metastasis is in bone, followed by lung, brain, and liver.5, 6 Approximately 30 to 50 percent of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients develop brain metastases over time.2, 7 Despite recent treatment advances, there is still a significant need for new therapies that can impact metastatic disease, especially brain metastases. There are currently no approved therapies demonstrating progression-free survival or overall survival benefit for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer after progression on T-DM1.8, 9, 10.
HER2CLIMB is a multinational randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, active comparator, pivotal clinical trial comparing tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine compared with trastuzumab and capecitabine alone in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who were previously treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1. The primary endpoint was PFS per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 as determined by blinded independent central review in the first 480 patients enrolled in the trial. HER2CLIMB enrolled a total of 612 patients to support the analyses of key secondary endpoints, including overall survival as well as progression-free survival in patients with brain metastases at baseline. Safety data were evaluated throughout the study.
Tucatinib is an investigational, orally bioavailable, potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is highly selective for HER2 without significant inhibition of EGFR. Inhibition of EGFR has been associated with significant toxicities, including skin rash and diarrhea. Tucatinib has shown activity as a single agent and in combination with both chemotherapy and other HER2 targeted agents such as trastuzumab.1,2 Studies of tucatinib in these combinations have shown activity both systemically and in brain metastases. HER2 is a growth factor receptor that is overexpressed in multiple cancers, including breast, colorectal and gastric cancers. HER2 mediates cell growth, differentiation and survival. Tucatinib has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of breast cancer patients with brain metastases.
Seattle Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGEN) is an emerging multi-product, global biotechnology company that develops and commercializes transformative therapies targeting cancer to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. This week, SGEN announced positive topline results from the HER2CLIMB trial. The trial compared tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine to trastuzumab and capecitabine alone in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients had previously received trastuzumab, pertuzumab and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), and 47 percent of the patients enrolled in the trial had brain metastases at the time of enrollment. Tucatinib is an oral, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is highly selective for HER2.
The trial met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), showing that the addition of tucatinib was superior to trastuzumab and capecitabine alone, with a 46 percent reduction in the risk of disease progression or death (hazard ratio (HR)=0.54 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.42, 0.71); p<0.00001). The trial also met the two key secondary endpoints at interim analysis. The tucatinib arm demonstrated an improvement in overall survival, with a 34 percent reduction in the risk of death (HR=0.66 (95% CI: 0.50, 0.88); p=0.0048) compared to trastuzumab and capecitabine alone. For patients with brain metastases at baseline, the tucatinib arm also demonstrated superior PFS, with a 52 percent reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to those who received trastuzumab and capecitabine alone (HR=0.48 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.69); p<0.00001).
Tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was generally well tolerated with a manageable safety profile. The most frequent adverse events in the tucatinib arm included diarrhea, palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (PPE), nausea, fatigue, and vomiting. Grade 3 or greater adverse events in the tucatinib arm compared to the control arm included diarrhea (12.9 vs. 8.6 percent), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (4.5 vs. 0.5 percent), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (5.4 vs. 0.5 percent) and increased bilirubin (0.7 vs. 2.5 percent). There was no requirement for prophylactic antidiarrheals. Adverse events leading to discontinuations were infrequent in both the tucatinib arm and the control arm (5.7 and 3.0 percent). Additional results are scheduled to be presented on December 11 at the 2019 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
"There is significant unmet medical need following treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1 in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer," said Roger Dansey, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Seattle Genetics. "The addition of tucatinib to the commonly used doublet of trastuzumab and capecitabine represents a potential significant clinical advance for patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, importantly, including those with brain metastases. Based on these findings, we plan to unblind the trial and offer tucatinib to patients on the control arm. We also plan to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in the first quarter of 2020, with the goal of bringing a much-needed new medicine to patients."
If you found this article interesting then you might consider learning about Seattle-based Atossa Genetics (NASDAQ: ATOS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics and delivery methods for breast cancer and other breast conditions. Please visit the Atossa Genetics (ATOS) dedicated page at Vista Partners to keep up with their progress and to learn more daily about their work and developments in diagnosing and treating breast cancer.
Recently, Atossa Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS) and The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, announced that the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has approved a Phase 2 clinical study of Atossa's intraductal microcatheter technology for the administration of fulvestrant in patients with early-stage breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Susan Love, M.D., inventor of the technology, will advise Atossa as it conducts the trial. Atossa also entered into a clinical trial agreement with a major research university named in the 8k filing that Atossa filed on 10-14-2019 to conduct their Phase 2 clinical study of Atossa's intraductal microcatheter technology for the administration of fulvestrant in patients with early-stage breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Atossa Genetics is the owner of issued patents, pending patent applications, and medical device FDA 510(k) premarket notifications related to the treatment of breast conditions, including breast cancer and DCIS.
"While the origin of breast cancer is still not well understood, we do know a few things," stated Dr. Love. "Each breast is comprised of six to 12 duct-lobule units that develop from one or a few stem cells at the time of puberty. In the vast majority of cases, when a woman gets breast cancer it is one and only one of those units; the rest of the breast is without disease. It was on the basis of this understanding that, years ago, I began to envision treatments that focused on the 'sick duct' only. Over the years a number of clinical trials have been conducted that demonstrate this approach leads to strong tumor treatment effects, because of the local delivery, and reduced systemic exposure, which hopefully produces fewer side effects. I am pleased that Atossa Genetics and a leading institution are carrying on the research I began and I look forward to advising on this important clinical trial." READ COMPLTE STORY.

Willie Johnson (guitarist)
For other people named Willie Johnson, see Willie Johnson (disambiguation).
Willie Johnson (March 4, 1923 – February 26, 1995)[2] was an African American electric blues guitarist. He is best known as the principal guitarist in Howlin' Wolf's band from 1948–53.[3] His raucous, distorted guitar playing features on Howlin' Wolf's Memphis recordings of 1951–3, including the hit song "How Many More Years" (recorded May 1951).[4]

Willie Lee Johnson was born in Senatobia, Mississippi.[2] As the guitarist in the first band led by Howlin' Wolf,[1] he appeared on most of Wolf's recordings between 1951 and 1953. He provided the slightly jazzy yet raucous guitar sound that was the signature of all of Wolf's Memphis recordings. Johnson also performed and recorded with other blues artists in the Memphis area,[1] including pianist Willie Love, Willie Nix, Junior Parker, Roscoe Gordon, Bobby "Blue" Bland and others.[citation needed]
Howlin' Wolf – "How Many More Years" (1951)
Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years" (1951) with Willie Johnson on the electric guitar.
When Wolf moved to Chicago in around 1953, he could not convince Johnson to join him.[1] Johnson stayed on in Memphis for several years, playing on a number of sessions for Sun Records, including a 1955 collaboration with vocalist Sammy Lewis, "I Feel So Worried", released under the name Sammy Lewis with Willie Johnson. By the time Johnson relocated to Chicago, Wolf had already hired guitarist Hubert Sumlin as a permanent replacement.[1]
James Cotton later recalled that Wolf replaced Johnson because of his heavy drinking.[6]
Johnson occasionally performed and recorded with Howlin' Wolf after settling in Chicago, and also played briefly in the band of Muddy Waters, as well as a number of other local Chicago blues musicians, including J. T. Brown, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He made his living mainly outside of music for the rest of his life, only occasionally sitting in with the bands of his old friends around Chicago. His final recordings were made for Earwig Music in Chicago in the early 1990s.[citation needed]
DeathEdit
Willie Johnson died in Chicago on February 26, 1995.[7]
NamesakesEdit
Willie Johnson the guitarist should not be confused with Willie Johnson (a member of the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet until joining the Jubilaires in 1948), or with Blind Willie Johnson, an earlier gospel artist.

And just like that we are back-to-school, Summer is nearing the end and Fall is knocking on our door. As much as I love Summer, I am a huge fan of Fall. I love the fresh, breezy weather, the gorgeous Fall colors and most importantly, the vast flavors of Fall. I'm not exactly ready to jump full steam ahead into pumpkin flavor so to celebrate my first post of the Fall season I am kicking things off with Maple Cinnamon French Toast in a Mug for this week's Mini chef Mondays.
I struggle with breakfast ideas a lot during the school year because my kids have different likes. I have one child who likes eggs and one who does not, one who has a sweet tooth and one who likes more savory items. This Maple Cinnamon French Toast in a Mug seems to satisfy both tastes and most importantly, it is super simple to make, which makes it a favorite for busy school mornings.
To begin, we cubed some slices of whole-grain white bread. We then whipped up milk, egg, maple syrup, cinnamon, honey and salt in a mug before submerging the chunks of bread into the mixture.
Once the bread was submerged, we popped it in the microwave for 2 minutes.
With the sound of the microwave's beep the Maple Cinnamon French Toast in a Mug was ready.
We topped it with additional syrup and cinnamon and that was it – breakfast was served.
A yummy way to make french toast in a pinch.
Whisk together the egg, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, honey and a pinch of salt in a large mug until combined. Grease mug lightly with coconut oil. Cube the bread into bite-size pieces and add them to the mug, pressing down lightly so all the bread is submerged in the liquid. Microwave the bread mixture on high power for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds. Let the French toast cool in the mug about 1 minute before serving. Serve immediately with additional syrup and cinnamon.
This look so fun, easy, and good to make! I love french toast, and I love finding different ways to make it. That way, I won't get so tired of the same recipe after a while. Plus, french toast usually fills me up while tasting amazing at the same time.


In 2005 DEMCO, the well known library supply company headquartered in Madison, WI, celebrated its centennial. As part of that celebration it published a book entitled Honoring A Century of Service - The Story of Librarians & DEMCO 1905-2005 by Raymond M. Olderman. Far from being a boring corporate history, the book does indeed tell the story of both librarians and DEMCO during this hundred year period. One of the stories in the book is about Norman Bassett who became owner of Demco Library Supplies in 1931 and the free magazine for librarians he created in 1932. The magazine's name Demcourier came from two librarians who won a contest to name the magazine and as a result received $10 each. Initially the focus of the magazine, was on practical information for librarians but it evolved more and more into a literary magazine with each issue devoted to a single literary figure. I recently acquired the Autumn 1939 issue (cover shown above) and it is devoted to Louis Untermeyer. In this issue, Bassett, who edited the magazine, apologetically tells readers that the magazine has become so popular that DEMCO is going to have to limit its distribution to those who purchase at least $10 in library supplies each year from the company and those who pay a subscription fee of 50 cents a year (returned if $10 is spent with the company). Bassett was a model of the best in relationships between library vendors and the library community. He became active in both the Wisconsin Library Association and the American Library Association. In 1932 at the conference of the Wisconsin Library Association he arranged an auction of autographed copies of books to raise funds for scholarships for library school students. As a result a Scholarship Committee (which continues today) was established with Bassett as its chair. During World War II the cost of paper forced the suspension of the magazine in 1943 and its publication was never resumed. This article was published simultaneously in The Library History Buff Blog.
In 1897 the Wisconsin Free Library Commission published a 39 page booklet entitled Free Traveling Libraries in Wisconsin: The Story of Their Growth, Purposes, and Development; With Accounts of a Few Kindred Movements. The cover of the publication is shown here. The cover includes the statement: "It is after all, not the few great libraries, but the thousand small ones, that may do most for the people". This philosophy is consistent with that which is discussed in the previous post. Also on the cover is an illustration of a traveling library bookcase similar to the one used by the Stout traveling libraries in Dunn County. The booklet has been digitized by the Wisconsin Historical Society and can be viewed here. Many of the images of traveling libraries in the booklet are also part of the Digital Images Collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society and can be seen here. There is also a page on this site devoted to traveling libraries.
The Wisconsin Library Bulletin was begun in 1905 by the Wisconsin Free Library Commission under the leadership of Henry E. Legler. It continued publication through 1984. It is the most comprehensive account of Wisconsin's library history for that period. It includes a wealth of information which can be utilized by libraries and those interested in local and state history to tell the story of Wisconsin's libraries. Although the primary focus of the bulletin was initially public library development, the magazine includes information about libraries of all types. It documents a wide variety of library related activities and events which occurred during that period including staff appointments and changes, building projects, library association meetings, library education and continuing education events, legislation, gifts and appropriations, and grant programs including the Library Services Act and the Library Services and Construction Act. Through the involvement of the University of Wisconsin - Madison General Libraries in the Google Books project, the Wisconsin Library Bulletin has been scanned and many early issues of the magazine are now appearing in Google Books. Locating and accessing periodicals through Google Books is often a difficult process. I have been able to locate the compilations for 1905, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1917, and 1922. You can search these compilations by keyword and an interesting exercise would be to search for your library in them. I will continue to keep looking for additional yearly compilations.

(CNN) -- A 2-year-old survived an attack that took the lives of his parents, thanks to a quick-thinking nanny who grabbed the boy and dashed past gunmen to safety.
Sandra Samuel and Moshe Holtzberg were the only ones to survive a siege on Mumbai's Chabad House last week.
Two-year-old Moshe Holtzberg and nanny Sandra Samuel were the only ones to make it out of the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, alive after attackers stormed the house. The gunmen killed Moshe's parents, Chabad House directors Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, and four others.
Rivka Holtzberg, who arrived in Mumbai with her husband five years ago to serve the city's small Jewish community, was pregnant, her father said at her funeral Tuesday, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
Those at the Chabad House were among 179 people killed last week when gunmen targeted several sites across Mumbai, including two luxury hotels, a train station and a hospital.
"She heard Mrs. Holtzberg -- Rivka -- screaming, 'Sandra, Sandra, help, Sandra,' " said Robert Katz, executive vice president of the Israeli organization Migdal Ohr.
The gunmen reportedly went door-to-door, searching for targets. Samuel unlocked her door, according to Katz.
She then ran upstairs to find the Holtzbergs shot dead, lying on the ground with their son crying over them.
"She literally picked him up and made a dash for the exits, almost daring the terrorists to shoot a woman carrying a baby," Katz said.
The two arrived in Israel early Tuesday on a flight with the boy's maternal grandparents and the bodies of his parents.
The return of the bodies was delayed until authorities removed hand grenades from the bodies, left there by the attackers, Katz said.
Among those helping to provide Moshe with shelter and support is his great-uncle, Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, founder of Migdal Ohr, Israel's largest youth village.
It provides more than 6,500 "orphaned, impoverished, underprivileged and new immigrant children" with homes and education.
Grossman also secured a one-year visa in Israel for Samuel to assist in caring for the boy as he transitions to his new life, Katz said in a statement on Migdal Ohr's Web site.
The Holtzbergs were laid to rest Tuesday in a service that drew thousands of mourners and emissaries from the ultra-Orthodox Chabad movement to the Israeli village of Kfar Chabad, a village of 900 families just outside Tel Aviv.
"Moshe, you have no living mother and father," Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, a Chabad official from New York, said at the ceremony, according to Haaretz. "Today you become the child of all Israel."
Including the Holtzbergs, four Israelis, an American Jew and a Mexican woman were gunned down last week in the attack on Mumbai's Chabad House, a Jewish center where the couple ministered to people from the community and welcomed them to pray, eat kosher food or celebrate Jewish holidays.
