You know what I love about patriotic Sweetworks candy?
It's not just a treat; it's a decoration.
There's so much you can do with it — there are different candies of different sizes (such as Gumballs, Sixlets, and Sweet Shapes), as well as colors to fit with any theme or decor.
One of the biggest "events" of the summer is, of course, the 4th of July. There are barbecues galore and, if you're feeling creative, you might make some patriotic-themed foods like red, white, and blue cupcakes or strawberries dipped in white and blue-colored chocolate. Heck, you might even make beverages in the 4th of July color scheme.
But how about something fun for the kids (let's not kid ourselves — the adults, too!) like festive red, white, and blue candy?
And Sweetworks has a great selection of patriotic candy to choose from! There are gumballs, sixlets, sweet shapes (in this case, stars), and foil chocolates. All in red, white, and blue!
Sweetworks has been providing unique, fun, and delicious candies all over the world for more than 50 years. You might already be familiar with some of their products (or you might want to get familiar with them!), such as Niagara Chocolates, Ovation, Celebration, and, of course, Sixlets, Gumballs, and Nerds. There's a whole lot of spectacular sweetness going on at Sweetworks!
We have a Fourth of July Sweetworks giveaway for you! This giveaway is open to U.S. residents (18+) and ends June 30 at 11:59 p.m. EST. After you enter here, check out the other Sweetworks decor and recipes below — and enter for more chances to win!

Just like the Midianites knew their might wouldn't win against Gideon and His army; the enemy knows very well He cannot overtake you.
You might have so much to handle. More than your capability, your comprehension and many at times, more than your faith. That's when complication sets in. That's when the confusion and the miserableness sets in. That's when nothing makes sense. How Lord? How can this battle be won? How can I overcome? How can this prayer be answered? How can a done deal be reversed for my favor? How can my family, so staunch be touched? How can my marriage have hope? How can I conceive when everything says I cannot? How can I hope when I have no strength? How can I be good when all around is bad? How can I stop this struggle when my whole self aches?
You see, our issue is with trusting someone who didn't need anyone to part the Red Sea, feed the people in the wilderness or to bring the Jericho walls down. He did it all by Himself and for them.
So for us who ask a how let's just listen to what has been destined for us.
"This can be nothing other the Word spoken by (put your name), the child of the Most High God. He has given victory to her/(him) and the whole solution into his/(her) hands. We have lost and she/(he) has won, because God is on his/(his) side".
God doesn't want any of us to boast. So, the best we can do is be the least, the insignificant and a servant for Him to be exalted and do the impossible for us and through us.

The Soul Journey is peppered with events. This event we will discuss tonight is The Crossroads. When you have exhausted all other means to achieve your dreams, you find yourself at a place, the crossroads. It seems a bleak place, with crows and vultures circling around.. ..and you may be pulled one way, or you may fear another way. But the pressure of time is upon you and you have to choose. Or do you?

20.1 Metal Deposits Geological resources are critical to our way of life and important to the Canadian economy. Gold, iron, copper, nickel, and potash are Canada's most valuable mined commodities. The proportions of metals in mineral deposits are typically several thousand times higher than those in average rocks, and special processes are required to extract the valuable content. Some deposits form through processes within a magma chamber, others during volcanism or adjacent to a stock, and some are related to sedimentary processes. Mining involves both surface and underground methods, but in either case, rock is brought to surface that can react with water and oxygen to produce acid rock drainage and metal contamination.
20.2 Industrial Minerals Non-metallic materials are very important to infrastructure and agriculture. Some of the major industrial minerals include sand and gravel, limestone for cement and agriculture, salt for a range of applications, potash fertilizer, and decorative stone.
20.3 Fossil Fuels The main fossil fuels are coal, oil, and gas. Coal forms on land in wet environments where organic matter can remain submerged and isolated from oxygen for millennia before it is buried by more sediments. The depth of that burial influences the grade of coal produced. Oil and gas originate from organisms living in marine environments, and again, fairly rapid burial is required to preserve the organic matter on the sea floor. At moderate burial depth (2 km to 4 km), oil is produced, and at greater depth, gas is produced. Both oil and gas migrate toward the surface and can be trapped beneath impermeable rock layers in structural features, such as anticlines or faults. Some unconventional fossil fuel resources include oil sands, shale gas, and coal-bed methane.
20.4 Diamonds Diamonds originate in the mantle and are only brought to the surface by the very rare eruption of kimberlitic volcanoes. The relatively recent discovery of diamonds in Canada was based on the exhaustive search for diamond indicator minerals in glacial sediments. There are now six diamond mines in Canada.
1. What are some of Earth's resources that are needed to make a compact fluorescent light bulb? The image on the right shows the contents of the ballast.
2. Explain why nickel deposits are associated only with mafic magma and not with intermediate or felsic magma?
3. What is the composition of the black smoke in a black smoker, and how does that relate to a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit?
4. How might an epigenetic gold deposit be related to a porphyry deposit?
5. Oxidation and reduction processes are important to both banded iron formation deposits and unconformity-type uranium deposits. Explain the role in each case.
7. What mineral is typically responsible for acid rock drainage around mine sites, and why is this mineral so common in this setting?
8. Explain why glaciofluvial gravel is more suitable than till as a source for aggregate.
9. The raw material for making cement is lime (CaO), and this is typically produced by heating limestone (mostly CaCO3) to about 1,000°C. Why is this an environmental issue?
10. Name some important industrial minerals that form in an evaporite setting.
11. If organic matter accumulates at an average rate of 1 mm per year, and if 10 m of organic matter is required to make 1 m of coal, how long must a swampy environment remain stable and wet in order to form a 1.5 m coal seam?
12. What are the ideal characteristics of petroleum source rocks and petroleum reservoir rocks?
13. How deep must the source rocks be buried to produce oil?
14. Why is shale gas an unconventional reserve, and how is it recovered? What are some of the environmental issues associated with that process?
15. If you were sampling glacial deposits to search for kimberlites, why would you be advised to look for kimberlite indicator minerals rather than diamonds?

Štěpanická Lhota (krkonošským nářečím Štěpanická Hlota) je vesnice, část obce Benecko v okrese Semily v Libereckém kraji. Nachází se asi jeden kilometr jižně od Benecka.

Štěpanická Lhota leží v katastrálním území Horní Štěpanice o výměře 5,52 km².

Štěpanická Lhota je známa především možností skupinové rekreace. Nachází se zde tři velké hotely s polohou nedaleko lyžařského areálu "Kejnos".

Historie
První písemná zmínka o vesnici pochází z roku 1606.

Řehořkův buk
V katastru Horních Štěpanic rostl významný strom (nebyl vyhlášen jako památný ze zákona) zvaný Řehořkův buk. Nazvaný byl podle místního rolníka a pytláka Jana Řehořka (žil do osmdesátých let 20. století, i když jeho sláva dosáhla vrcholu v první polovině století), u jehož osamocené chalupy stál. Konkrétně jde o dům s adresou Štěpanická Lhota čp. 1, který stojí jihovýchodně od lesa a kopce Houšť, zhruba 350 metrů VJV od vrcholu. Místo je nazýváno U Buku (a severněji jako Pod Bukem) a po stromu byli i Řehořkové nazýváni "zpod buku". Neznámý pachatel strom před několika lety zapálil. V současnosti z buku zbývá jen ohořelý zarovnaný pařez.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy in patients with end-stage renal disease and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Am J Kidney Dis. 2000 Apr;35(4):720-5. doi: 10.1016/s0272-6386(00)70021-7.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is often characterized by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and problems including pain, hematuria, and infection. Open nephrectomy is curative; however, the morbidity of the procedure is considerable. Between 1995 and 1998, 11 laparoscopic nephrectomies were performed on nine symptomatic patients (five men and four women) with ESRD and ADPKD. Two patients underwent a staged bilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy. All patients presented with abdominal or flank pain and an abdominal mass. Other clinical problems included hypertension in eight patients, urinary tract infections in two patients, and gross hematuria in one patient. Seven patients were receiving long-term dialysis treatment, and two patients had undergone prior renal transplantation. Patients were evaluated for preoperative and postoperative pain, analgesic use, hospital course, and convalescence. The overall average operative time was 6.3 hours, with an average estimated blood loss of 153 mL. Eight nephrectomy specimens were removed by morcellation, and three specimens were removed intact through a 7- to 12-cm incision. The average hospital stay was 3 days, and the average time to normal activity was 5 weeks. With a mean follow-up of 31 months, all nine patients reported elimination of their preoperative pain based on a pain analogue score. Six major and two minor complications occurred, including blood transfusion, a vena cavotomy, splenic cyanosis, pulmonary embolism, clotted arteriovenous fistula, and brachial plexus injury. Incisional hernias occurred in two of the three patients who underwent open removal. One patient noted improvement, and two patients noted resolution of their hypertension postoperatively. Laparoscopic nephrectomy in patients with ADPKD and ESRD offers an effective alternative to open nephrectomy to manage renal-related pain. This procedure provides the benefits of minimal intraoperative blood loss, minimal postoperative pain, brief hospital stay, and rapid convalescence.

Prosper Montagné (ur. 14 listopada 1865 w Carcassonne, zm. 22 kwietnia 1948 w Sèvres) – francuski szef kuchni.

Życiorys
Po ukończeniu liceum w rodzinnym Carcassonne zamierzał podjąć studia z zakresu architektury. Kiedy jego ojciec stał się właścicielem l'Hotel des Quatre-Saisons w Tuluzie, młody Prosper zdecydował się kierować kuchnią hotelową.

Praktykował w paryskim Grand Hôtel, a następnie w Hotel d'Angleterre w Cauterets, a następnie pracował w prestiżowych restauracjach w Paryżu, San Remo i w Monte Carlo. W 1900 powrócił do Paryża, gdzie został szefem kuchni w Pavillon d'Armenonville, a następnie w Pavillon Ledoyen. Stamtąd przeniósł się do Grand Hotelu, gdzie pracował przez 10 lat. Pierwszą restauracją, której stał się właścicielem była paryska Montagné.

Pozostawił po sobie liczne dzieła. Są wśród nich zarówno klasyczne książki kucharskie, z najbardziej znaną Le grand livre de cuisine, a także encyklopedia Larousse Gastronomique, którą przygotował wspólnie z Prosperem Sallesem. W jego dorobku są także książki poświęcone kuchni wojskowej i kuchni świątecznej. Pisał artykuły o tematyce kulinarnej do prasy, był też redaktorem naczelnym czasopisma Revue culinaire.

Za swoją działalność został uhonorowany Kawalerią Legii Honorowej (1922). Jego imię nosi Club Prosper Montagné, organizacja zrzeszająca francuskich mistrzów kuchni.

Lisa Sova, City Clerk & Treasurer for Crosby
"Shared Services has minimized the impact on our budget, and by grouping together and sharing a position, we're able to have access to expertise that would be costly if we went it alone." - Lisa Sova City Clerk & Treasurer City of Crosby
By Jenny Holmes
It's a simple concept taught to children at an early age. However, NJPA has taken sharing to the next level and has made life - and business - easier for organizations throughout Region 5.
Since 2013, NJPA has offered Shared Services resources to its members. Because NJPA employs a number of professionals in a variety of fields—cities, townships, counties, and school districts are able to tap into a high-quality, cost-effective labor pool and utilize resources without having to employ their own full-time positions.
The city of Crosby is a prime example of the benefit of Shared Services. Lisa Sova, Crosby city clerk and treasurer, said her city was left in a lurch when looking for a planning and zoning administrator. After an unsuccessful request for proposal process, the city looked to Crow Wing County for assistance. For three months, Land Services filled the gap by assisting with planning and zoning matters. However, last year, the city approached NJPA about the need for part-time help on a limited budget and labor pool.
Anna Gruber, manager of NJPA's City and County Solutions, said NJPA quickly discovered other cities and townships shared similar struggles – a need for professional services but not enough money to attract and sustain part-time help. Soon after, planning and zoning administration was added to the list of Shared Services offerings at NJPA.
"We run every requested shared service through a shared service decision matrix," Gruber explained. "From the matrix, we score it based on multiple decision factors to ensure that it is truly a shared service that has high regional impact and need."
For the past year, the city of Crosby has contracted through NJPA to receive quality planning and zoning services for only the amount of time needed, which can vary from month to month.
"It couldn't have worked out better for us," Sova said. "We are now able to provide a higher level of service to our residents than we would as a stand-alone. And the pricing is very reasonable. Shared Services has minimized the impact on our budget, and by grouping together and sharing a position, we're able to have access to expertise that would be costly if we went it alone."
Gruber said through research and member feedback, NJPA has created a menu of services available for contract by its members. For the last two-plus years, the city of Crosby has also utilized shared information technology services through NJPA. Again, Sova said, the level of expertise and professionalism is not only top-notch, but also affordable, which is incredibly valuable to smaller communities such as Crosby.
"Our technician's response time is incredible," Sova said. "When we have an issue and place a call to the technician assigned to our area, he responds immediately. If he isn't on site, he remotes in to our computers and takes care of it. The service we have now is so much more superior compared to the services we had previously, and at a much higher level of reliability. Again, this is something we couldn't afford as a small city."
Gruber said approximately 20 city and county entities in Region 5, as well as one township, utilize one aspect or another of Shared Services opportunities. Professionals are employed and paid directly by NJPA. Services are then hired out to members at a subsidized rate with a savings of over 50 percent.
"The shared service model is a powerful benefit to entities in our region, especially smaller entities who cannot justify a full-time employee or cannot recruit an employee for the specific need they have – especially for areas like planning and zoning and IT, where finding talent is extremely difficult," Gruber said. "Shared Services make a lot of sense for needs that are not full-time all the time. This is an extremely cost-effective and efficient way for entities to get the work done—by sharing and collaborating with others." A recent report by the Alliance for Innovation titled, "The Next Big Thing", points to research of what government will look like in the next 20 years. Within that vision are hints of the Shared Services model.
"During the recession, we saw local government outsource services and reengineer others," noted Robert J O'Neill Jr., executive director of the International City/County Management Association. "In the next 20 years, we'll see local governments use more and more innovative approaches to address their communities' challenges. They'll work more collaboratively with other cities and counties, to further leverage economies of scale. You'll see more partnerships between government, nonprofits and the private sector. Because as our challenges get more complex, we need more nuanced responses beyond the traditional boundaries of local government."
Gruber said NJPA's Shared Services model has already begun addressing that issue and making it possible for local government and education to do more with less.
"I believe it has made a substantial difference. I think if you spoke with any of the 21 entities involved, they would agree. They are able to access subject matter experts in areas that they themselves would likely not be able to recruit the talent – or afford the talent. As government looks to do more with less, sharing seems to be an obvious solution."

The day after John Uustal started law school, Hurricane Andrew tore through the University of Miami, destroyed parts of the city, and shut down the school. Once the campus and surrounding areas reopened, he was forced to complete a full year of law school in much less time. For months he studied law at a ridiculous pace under tremendous pressure while living without electricity or phone service and at the same time struggling to help those still in need.
All of the students in the incoming class faced the same difficulties, but some excelled because of the impossible demands and incredible responsibility. At the end of the year, Mr. Uustal not only ranked first in the entire student body, he also earned the Book Award for the highest grade in the class in every single class that year. He turned his attention to trial skills and was prosecuting criminals in Miami courtrooms even before he graduated.
After graduation he earned what was reportedly the highest score in the entire state on the Florida Bar Examination. In his first few years of practice he obtained a $51 million verdict trying a car crash case himself, helped make national news when he discovered a massive corporate scheme to cover-up the real reason that people were burning alive in General Motors vehicles, and tried cases across the country. Ten years after graduation he and partner Bob Kelley founded the powerhouse trial firm of Kelley | Uustal.
Mr. Uustal now handles incredibly complex and difficult cases against the best defense attorneys in the world. His successes have resulted in safer fuel tanks, safer seatbelts, safer medical care, and safer equipment for firefighters and paramedics.
His most prominent recent cases have been against companies that knowingly sell dangerously defective products. He represented a young girl who was severely burned when a pressure cooker malfunctioned; he achieved a record-setting settlement. He handled cases involving keyless ignition defects that killed people in their homes, and won every case. He was so infuriated by the refusal of automobile companies to fix their vehicles in the ways their own engineers specified that he worked with the New York Times on a comprehensive story of the defect, which lead to hearings in the U.S. Senate. He has won every case he has tried against tobacco manufacturers, who have been selling dangerous products for decades. He has been named Product Liability Lawyer of the Year by America's Best Lawyers, Awarded the Most Effective Lawyer for Product Liability by the Daily Business Review, and has been interviewed and chronicled by national newspapers and television news programs.
That success has also earned him some powerful enemies. A car company promised to bankrupt him, he was attacked and maligned by Big Tobacco, and he was threatened in Argentina after antagonizing government officials who had been complicit in Argentina's dirty war. When facing such intimidation, he likes to quote Clarence Darrow: "I have lived my life, and I have fought my battles, against power. I have asked no odds from them, and I never will."
Mr. Uustal realizes that he is at his best in the most difficult cases, especially when working for a family who is desperate for help. He limits his practice to representing families who have suffered catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, even when other attorneys say the case can't be won. With truly devastating injuries, he can profoundly change lives for the better – the difference between a good recovery and a great recovery may be all the difference in the world to a truly desperate family. He excels in these cases because of the impossible demands and the incredible responsibility, just as he did when struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew.
Clients have called him "the real deal"; "an old-school fighter" who "cared about us as people first." After he won a case for a little girl who suffered brain damage when she was hit by a car, her mother wrote: "John Uustal is a true genius, and he has a heart of gold. I truly believe he's doing what he's supposed to be doing. This is something I try to tell people."
Coach And Teacher
John Uustal grew up in Fort Lauderdale. His mother was a teacher, his father was a coach, and he saw the real impact they each had on so many young lives. He loves kids, and he dedicates himself to coaching competitive soccer for Fort Lauderdale Select. He played soccer locally at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, and later he was one of the few Americans chosen to play for the Italian Embassy Soccer Team in Washington, D.C.
He finds opportunities to coach in the law as well. Because he only accepts a small handful of cases, he believes that it is important to freely give his time advising, assisting and teaching other attorneys who ask for help. He gives lectures across the country and teaches trial skills.

Q: getting error when clicking a button by javaScript to call codeBehind function I need to call some codeBehind function from JavaScript. For this, I have a hidden button (asp:Button).
When I click this button from javaScript like:
var btn = document.getElementById("btnHidden");
btn.click();

I got an error:
System.Web.HttpException: The state information is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.

Could you please help me?

A: i tried like this and is working
aspx
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function btnClick()
        {
            alert("clicked!!!");

            var btn=document.getElementById('<%=Button1.ClientID%>');
            btn.click();
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        test page
        <input type="button" id="btn" onclick="btnClick()" value="Click" />

        <asp:Button ID="Button1" style="display:none" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

    </div>
    </form>
</body>

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

In the first button client click i tried to raise the second button click event.

A: first you have to hide this button with css not server side , i mean display:none not Visible=false;
like this :
Button1.Attributes.CssAttributes.Add("Display","None");

then you should use ClientID
document.getElementById('<%=Button1.ClientID%>').click();

try to set UseSubmitBehaviour=false on button
hope this helps

A: You can edit your Web.config file:
<pages validateRequest="false" enableEventValidation="false" viewStateEncryptionMode ="Never">

Check this blog for details.

A: It should be like this,
var btn = document.getElementById('<%= btnHidden.ClientID %>').value;

2009 PRSA International Conference Keynote Speaker Bob Garfield, author of "The Chaos Scenario" and co-host of NPR's "On the Media" talks about the imminent fate of the mass media business, why the insatiable quest for quarterly profits spells death for the old media guard and what the collision of our TV sound bite culture and the Net means for so many Americans who are chronically disengaged from credible sources of news and information.
On the Record…Online returns as the Official PR Podcast of the 2009 PRSA International Conference, which will be in San Diego, Oct. 7-10, 2009. We'll be talking to other conference keynoters in the weeks leading up to the event, and interviewing many of the presenters and panelists on site in San Diego as well. You can register to attend here.
3:12 – Bob Garfield on what he'll discuss (*explicative*) at the 2009 PRSA International Conference.
3:34 – How the web empowers those of us formerly known as the customer, the electorate or the congregation to make life miserable for organizations.
4:39 – Why the digital revolution, which allow us to aggregate the energies and combined passions of the entire world, means utter catastrophe for the media and marketing industries.
6:02 -- The imminent fate of the fabled symbiosis between advertising and media as a result of the digital revolution.
7:02 – Why the public financial ownership model, which demands increased quarterly net profits, promotes status quo by restricting the mainstream media business from experimenting with new media and social media channels that could have long term benefits at the expense of short term gains.
10:03 – Stakeholder relations as the future of marketing and advertising online.
13:40 – The dangers of living in a US without a vibrant mainstream news media complex serving as a proverbial fourth estate, offering another set of checks and balances against the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
14:34 – The difference between the psychology of the crowd and the aggregated wisdom of the crowd.
16:35 – Cable news puts sensationalism before journalism by serving up a continuous feed of lies, half-truths and demagoguery that corresponds with the world view of its target audience, but the Internet hosts an endless number of points of views, so there will always be a greater number of moderate, rational thinkers on the web then in the polarized world of cable news, says Garfield.
20:01 – Whether or not trusted journalism brands will ever enjoy their day on the sun again.
21:17 – How and why unchecked power, as demonstrated by the careers of Kevin Costner and Eddie Murphy, rarely results in quality products.
21:55 – The severity of the digital revolution will not allow old media to adapt to the new media landscape. Garfield says this shift is on the scale of the industrial revolution, collapsing entire business models. Shel Holtz take note.
22:31 – Why the advertising industry cannot and will not adapt to the digital revolution.
24:39 –Transferring one's knowledge of mass media to the business of new media engagement and what the convergence of the sound bite and the internet means for a large number of American who are chronically disengaged from accurate, balanced news and information.
26:38 – Some journalism brands will survive, but while the imminent "Chaos Scenario" that Garfield predicts is underway, many purveyors of mainstream news media will disappear. He shares what the media and democracy landscape might look like in 20 years.
28:04 – The impact of the rise of social media on television spot advertising, Madison Avenue's mad dash to reinvent itself in the digital world and why online display advertising is so ineffective.
29:54 – Garfield's investment advice to shareholders of Interpublic Group [NYSE: IPG] and Omnicom [NYSE:OMC].


The genetically AND financially blessed.
As we watched the flight of angels prance down the heralded Victoria's Secret runway in Paris yesterday we had mixed emotions: excitement, awe, delight and, while we may not like to admit it, just a smidge of envy.
Well, you might want to prepare yourself because that last emotion is about to get a little bit stronger.
Aside from winning the genetic jackpot it turns out the 2016 Victoria's Secret models have also scored in the income department with a combined wealth of $245 million (USD).
In all honesty, you probably couldn't pay us enough to stick to the models' rigorous fitness routines so we have nothing but respect and appreciation for their killer work ethic.
Without further ado, here are the top 13 earning models from this year's show ranked in ascending order.
Note: All amounts are in USD.
With a combined estimated worth of $245 million (USD), it's safe to say the Victoria's Secret ladies are the exception to the industry rule that models get paid zip. To break it down, here are the top 13 earning models from this year's VSFS ranked in ascending order. Note: All amounts are in USD.
13. Sara Sampaio $1.2 million.
12. Elsa Hosk $1.5 million.
11. Bella Hadid $3 million.
10. Martha Hunt $3 million.
9. Jasmine Tookes $5 million.
8. Taylor Hill $6 million.
6. Gigi Hadid $13 million.
5. Joan Smalls $16 million.
4. Kendall Jenner $18 million.
3. Liu Wen $35 million.
2. Alessandra Ambrosio $60 million.
1. Adriana Lima $75 million.

Women's long history of commitment to the U.S. military
Editor's Note: Information for this article was gathered from this source.
Military spouses know the importance of what they do to support their significant other, but did you know that women have been supporting the United States military since the Revolutionary War?
March is Women's History Month, so I thought it would be fun to explore women's role in the military. I hope you find it interesting. And if you know a woman who has made significant strides in the military cause, living or deceased, let me know to include her.
Liberty Bell, a symbol of the Revolutionary War
Women have served in the military since the Revolutionary War. Back then, women followed their soldiers into battle and served vital roles in helping boost morale, mend clothes, helping the wounded, cook, doing laundry, and cleaning cannons. Some women disguised themselves as men to get into the battle. Others took on the dangerous task of spying for the Continental Army. Whatever their role, these women were integral parts of the war effort.
Civil War flags
In the Civil War, almost 20,000 women helped by growing crops, cooking in Army camps, sewing, laundry, and organizing fundraising campaigns. During this time, women's role as a nurse increased significantly, with 3,000 women serving as nurses for the Union Army. Again, many women disguised themselves as men to fight in the battles on both sides.
The United States established the official Army Nurse Corps in 1901. When World War I broke out, the ANC had 403 nurses, but more than 3,000 American nurses were working in British hospitals in France one year into the war.
However, WWI is also notable because it was the first time women – who did not yet have the right to vote – were allowed to openly serve in the U.S. military.
Women also enlisted in the Navy to replace men sent overseas to fight and served as clerks, telephone and radio operators, and translators. The U.S. Army Signal Corps also enlisted women to work as telephone and switchboard operators. Many of these women worked very close to the front lines in France.
All branches of the U.S. military opened up the ranks to women during World War II with the Women's Army Corps (WACS), the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPS), the Navy's Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES), the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, and the Coast Guard Women's Reserve (SPARS).
Women Airforce Service Pilots in World War II
Most of the jobs these women did were non-combat such as clerical work, driving vehicles, repairing airplanes, cryptology, radio and telephone operators, rigged parachutes, and test-flying airplanes. And, of course, nurses on the front lines.
Women were officially allowed to serve as permanent members of all branches of the U.S. in 1948 when President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act. The act was an important step forward, but it had its limitations. Only 2 percent of each branch could be women, they were not allowed to command men or serve in combat, and if a woman became pregnant, it was an automatic discharge. Black women and men could serve equally in all branches after President Truman issued the Integration of the Armed Forces executive order a month after signing the act allowing women to serve. In 1950, 120,000 women served on active duty when the Korean War broke out.
President Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act in 1948.
In 1967 during the Vietnam War, President Lyndon B. Johnson promoted women to general, and in 1972, women were allowed to command units of men. In 1975, pregnancy was no longer an automatic discharge from the military.

Since then, we've seen a lot of firsts for women. The first female Navy fighter pilot (Capt. Rosemary Mariner), the first female four-star general in the Army (Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody), the first female rescue swimmer in the Coast Guard (Chief Petty Officer Karen Voorhees), and the first female Silver Star medal recipient (Army Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester) since World War II during the Iraq War.
In 1994, President Bill Clinton allowed women to serve in all positions in the military except direct ground combat. But in 2013, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on combat roles allowing women to serve in all aspects of the military. As a result, women now make up 16 percent of the enlisted force across the branches and 18 percent of the officer corps.
Throughout the ages, women of the United States have proven to be a substantial force when it comes to protecting the Stars and Stripes.
Send me the names and branches of women you know serving/served in the military and at the end of the month I will post a roll call of those names.

While the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is known to many space buffs for its annual Astronaut Autograph and Memorabilia Show and its galas featuring a bevy of U.S. spaceflight legends, its mission fulfills a vital need in the local Space Coast and national education communities. This year's show, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and associated events (taking place from Thursday, Nov. 6, to Sunday, Nov. 9) promise many opportunities for enthusiastic fans to meet with a diverse group of space pioneers, but will also aid students working hard to make their own mark in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. An interview with ASF's Communications Director Rika Rowland underscores what ASF does not just for the space community, but also for the future of STEM.
This year, ASF celebrated the 30th anniversary of its founding by the Mercury 7 astronauts, who saw a vital need to educate future generations about science-related fields. Since 1984, the foundation and its donors have made significant contributions: "Since ASF was founded 30 years ago, we have awarded over $4 million in scholarships. Part of ASF's strategic plan is to continue to grow the Astronaut Scholarship program to offer even more scholarships to exceptional STEM students at even more participating schools. ASF has seen tremendous growth over the years," Rowland stated.
While the program has graduated innumerable scholars who have impacted many scientific fields, one will view the stars in coming years (or perhaps even Mars). Last year, ASF celebrated the naming of Christina Hammock as a member of NASA's latest astronaut class. Hammock is a past ASF scholar and, before being named as an astronaut candidate, was a station chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) in American Samoa, among many other ventures. Her selection from a pool of thousands shows that with education, anything (and going anywhere) is possible for students.
While ASF benefits many students, participating universities, and schools throughout the country, it also gives back to the Space Coast, where it is headquartered. "ASF hosts a variety of events including scholar technical conferences, astronaut speaking engagements through local schools and organizations, and educational seminars at participating universities. In addition, our board and staff members participant in educational and space-related events hosted by other venues and civic groups throughout the area," she related. Of course, many ASF board members are former astronauts from several different eras of NASA spaceflight.
ASF's cornerstone event and fundraiser is its yearly autograph and memorabilia show, which will feature not only astronauts, but also other key figures in U.S. spaceflight history. This year's show and other surrounding events (including a "Pioneers of Space" gala taking place on the evening of Saturday, Nov. 8) will provide space fans with an opportunity to give back while meeting their heroes. Rowland discussed the many events that will take place this year.
"In addition to the Astronaut Autograph and Memorabilia Show on November 8th and 9th at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where guests can meet and purchase personal autographs by more than 30 space legends and attend a series of astronaut lectures throughout the day, we have a variety of events taking place," she enthused.
ASF's events this November will cast an eye on spaceflight's past, while looking resolutely ahead at the nation's STEM future. For more information about the schedule of events for this year's Autograph and Memorabilia Show and event pricing options, please visit the event's page on ASF's website. An updated list of this year's astronaut and space legend participants is also available through visiting the site. If you can't swing by the Space Coast that weekend, don't fret—ASF also holds an auction of astronaut memorabilia opening Oct. 30, which has an online registration option.

Montana's public land lead topic at House candidates meetings
Phil Drake
Great Falls Tribune
Democratic and Republican candidates for Montana's lone House seat are having meetings Wednesday to discuss Wilderness Study Areas.
Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., will hold a roundtable discussion 10 a.m. Wednesday in Lewistown about public land legislation that would impact Wilderness Study Areas that he has introduced.
Democratic challenger Kathleen Williams is holding an event on the same topic at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in Missoula.
At Gianforte's event, participants will discuss his Protect Public Use of Public Lands Act and the Unlocking Public Lands Act. The bills, House Resolution 5148 and H.R. 5149, restore more than 690,000 acres of public land, which the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management studied and determined unsuitable for wilderness designation, to the active management of the federal land management agencies, Gianforte's staff said.
The meeting will be 10 a.m. at the Fergus County Complex, 121 8th Ave. S., Lewistown.
Gianforte said he introduced the measures after the Montana state Legislature passed a resolution in 2017 urging Congress to act and after receiving letters regarding Wilderness Study Areas from county commissioners in impacted communities.
Among those participating are Fergus County Commissioner Carl Seilstad, Citizens for Balanced Use, Montana Association of Counties, Montana Backcountry Hunter and Anglers, Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, Montana Stockgrowers Association, Montana Wild Sheep Foundation, Montana Wilderness Association, Montana Wildlife Federation, Montana Wood Products Association, Outdoor Alliance, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Teddy Roosevelt Conservation.
Williams will also have a meeting Wednesday on Wilderness Study Areas, but in Missoula.
The public may attend the free event. Williams, who touts her work on natural resource issues, is not expected to propose legislation or argue for specific policy positions, organizers said.
The round table will begin with information from experts and include time for public comment.
It is 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Room 330, Student Center, University of Montana.
Williams said she has heard existing legislation may go too far or not address the right issues.
With 44 WSAs in Montana managed by either the Bureau of Land Management or the U.S. Forest Service, any changes to the status of WSAs should include significant public comment, Williams said.

How to Place WhatsApp International Calls Without Extra Charges
It's all about the Wi-Fi
Brad Stephenson
Freelance Contributor

WhatsApp uses your cellular data to make "calls," which are actually voice chats.
You can always make free calls with an unlimited cellular data plan, or if you use WhatsApp over Wi-Fi.
If you have a limited data plan, you might go over the limit on WhatsApp, especially when sending media or on video calls.
This article explains how to make WhatsApp International calls for free, plus what you need to check the next time you make a WhatsApp call.
Can I Make Free International Calls With WhatsApp?
Well, kind of. Much like Telegram, Line, and Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp uses an internet or cellular connection to connect WhatsApp users to one another either via a direct message or voice call. WhatsApp can't be used to make a telephone call to a mobile number that isn't in your WhatsApp contacts list. Nor can it be used to phone a landline number.

So, while your WhatsApp call to a contact in another country may look, sound, and feel like an international phone call, it's actually a voice call or voice chat. This can be confusing because the app uses your phone number when setting up your account but this is done to confirm your identity and to connect you with your phone book contacts, not to give you free phone calls.
WhatsApp isn't actually making regular phone calls. It's a voice chat service.
Some points to keep in mind:
WhatsApp to WhatsApp. WhatsApp lets you call international contacts but only from your WhatsApp account to their WhatsApp account.
WhatsApp voice calls aren't phone calls. WhatsApp can't call landline numbers so if you think you're calling one with WhatsApp you may actually be making a regular phone call via your device's default phone app by mistake. Skype, however, can call regular phone numbers.
Check your WhatsApp contacts. You can't voice call a mobile number that isn't in your WhatsApp contacts. If you think you are, you're liking just doing a traditional phone call and being charged for it as you would normally.
Does WhatsApp Charge for International Calls?
When doing a voice call to a contact via the WhatsApp app, you don't get charged for the phone call as it isn't really a phone call. You do, however, get charged for any data used because the call is done purely over the internet.
If you have an unlimited data plan with your mobile provider, you should be fine, but if your plan has data limits, it is in fact possible to go over this while using WhatsApp, especially if you're sending media files or doing video calls.
When using WhatsApp over Wi-Fi, you don't use up any of your cellular data so try to connect to Wi-Fi when possible.
There have been some cases of people claiming to have been charged for international phone calls after using WhatsApp with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. While this technically shouldn't happen, there are several explanations for this.
The wrong app was used. The app icon for the WhatsApp app and the default phone apps on iPhone and Android smartphones do look pretty similar and it's possible that these were used by mistake to make the calls.
Address book confusion. The iOS Contacts app places the Call WhatsApp link directly above a contact's phone number. Tapping on the number will begin a regular phone call while tapping on Call WhatsApp should be tapped to call via WhatsApp.
Mobile carrier charges. Some users have claimed that their carriers will switch a WhatsApp call over to a regular call if the Wi-Fi or cellular signal is weak. To prevent this, if this is indeed happening, turn on Airplane mode when using WhatsApp to ensure that you connect only to a Wi-Fi signal.
WhatsApp confusion. Users who are new to smartphones may think that downloading WhatsApp makes all phone calls free. It doesn't. You must make WhatsApp calls and messages from within the WhatsApp app.
WhatsApp can be a very useful app for staying in touch with friends, family, and colleagues and all communication within it, give or take the minor data charge, should be free. If you find yourself being charged large fees by your carrier for making WhatsApp calls, one of the above issues is likely the cause.
