{"text": "Kind of an odd way to begin a Gospel, if you ask me. Not really very catchy. A list of names—many of them unpronounceable. Then, if that weren’t weird enough, Matthew starts the story of Jesus’ birth with Joseph—arguably the one person who had the least to do with the whole thing. I mean, he’s just the unsuspecting groom.\nEverything’s going along fine to this point—got the caterer all lined up. The photographer’s going to be at the church early to take pictures of the wedding party, so that 250 fidgety people don’t have sit at the reception hall eating Spanish peanuts and checking their watches.\nThey’ve recruited a two person patrol to look out for aunt Gladys—just to make sure she doesn’t mess with the flower arrangements, and to stick close to her when she heads for the open bar. The family’s had an emergency meeting and secretly placed her on a two Manhattan limit. They have an arrangement with bartender from the catering service. Everybody’s tense but confident that the whole thing will come off just fine.\nJoseph’s standing around, trying to recall how the lady at the formal wear store said to tie the bow tie, attempting not to look too conspicuous as he does an imaginary practice run, when out of the blue reality taps him on the shoulder and lights the fuse that will cause his whole world to explode in front of his eyes. “Hey, Joseph, your future wife’s pregnant.”\nNow, I don’t know about you, but that’s an important little piece of information to possess if you’re about to enter the state of wedded bliss.\n“Pregnant?” Then he starts doing the math, and all of a sudden the light bulb goes off over his head—“Hey, wait a minute!” He realizes that his fiancée’s pregnant, and in the immortal words of that 20th Century sage, Michael Jackson, “the kid is not my son.” Consequently, and very quietly, Joseph decides to divorce the woman to whom he’s betrothed.\nDon’t you think that’s a strange way to begin a Gospel? But what happens next is even stranger. In first century Judaism, Joseph rightly had two choices: 1) He could have Mary stoned for adultery; or 2) he could present her with a public writ of divorce.\nNow, when I say Joseph had two choices under Jewish law, I don’t mean that there were two options—either of which he had the right to choose. No. When I say Joseph had two choices, I mean exactly that—he had two choices. A righteous Jew, when faced with a pregnant fiancée, with the baby belonging to someone other than the betrothed man, had to do one of two things to uphold the law.\nAs it said in the Tosefta: “A man should not marry a woman made pregnant by his colleague [chaber] or one who nurse’s his colleague’s child.”\nIn other words, if indeed Joseph were “a righteous man” as Matthew tells us, he had choices—none of which included marrying Mary. But Joseph does continue with the marriage, so he isn’t righteous by definition—at least by the standards of the Judaism of his day.\nIt would appear, then, that Matthew has a different understanding of righteousness. Maybe Matthew’s agenda involves a different understanding of what it means to be righteous. According to the way Matthew begins his Gospel, righteousness as redefined by this new Messiah, will necessarily appear counter-intuitive to all prevailing understandings of righteousness.\nJoseph, according to Matthew, is “a righteous man.” But righteous how? In Anthony Trollope’s Barchester Towers, a description of one type of righteousness emerges in a discussion of the Reverend Stanhope: was gone forever. Whatever conviction he may have had, the children were at any rate but indifferent members of the church from which he drew his income (p.71).\nNow, I say a description of righteousness emerges in the discussion of the Reverend Stanhope, by which I mean that the sort of righteousness described by Trollope is the kind of righteousness with which we moderns are familiar, if not altogether comfortable.\nThe Reverend Stanhope might stand as the symbol of modernity’s understanding of righteousness—that is, a righteousness that seems privately pious enough, but never imposes itself on anyone else. Trollope describes a righteousness that never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. It has the modern religious virtue of being almost entirely negligible, never getting the bearer in trouble because nothing could be less threatening to the world than someone who is inveterately agreeable. Or, in the words of that other 20th Century sage, Frank Burns: “It’s nice to be nice to the nice.”\nThe Reverend Stanhope’s faith is everywhere among us in a culture whose social contract includes never believing anything strongly enough to raise the eyebrows of our next-door neighbors, let alone our children. It usually never occurs to modern people that faith in God might at some point put you at odds with the folks you rub elbows with down at the country club. Being righteous, according to Matthew, means more than just living up to a standard of conduct that promises to keep you in good standing at Rotary.\nContrast the Reverend Stanhope with Joseph, who left the one-way street to conventionality when he quit listening to the voices of his world telling him to think only of his reputation, not to rock the boat, and decided to listen to God.\nYou see, if Joseph had cared about greasing the social wheels, he would never have continued to be mixed up with Mary and—what appeared to everybody who knew them—her illegitimate child.\nHe could have gone on to a nice quiet life in a colonial with a three-car garage, and a walkout basement in the suburbs—if he’d just listened to the voice of conventional wisdom.\nInstead, he listened to the voice of God—and the world was never to be the same. There was Joseph—just trying to figure it all out, when God tapped him on the shoulder and said:\n“Joseph, not only is your fiancée pregnant—your whole life is pregnant with the possibilities I’m preparing to unleash. I’m about to let loose a grace and forgiveness on the world that cannot be contained within the confines of conventional wisdom. What I intend to do through Mary and you is literally to bring salvation to the world. ‘She will bear a son, and you are to name him Yahweh saves (or Jesus, for all you Greek speakers), for he will save his people from their sins.’\n“I’m not saying it’s going to be easy on you, Joseph—true righteousness never is—but I promise it’ll be interesting. You have no idea who will tell your story.”\nIn a book entitled Orbit of Darkness, a fictionalized account of the saga of Maximilian Kolbe, by Ian McMillan—and retold by Gregory Jones—there’s a story that begins in Auschwitz in 1941. One of the prisoners, Szweda, is a collaborator with the Nazi guards. He marvels at the camp commandant’s absolute freedom and power to do whatever he wants in the camp. Szweda watches with admiration as the commandant begins a selection process that is a reprisal for an escape. Ten prisoners will die of starvation. One man, initially chosen for the selection, pleads with the commandant that he be spared for the sake of his family. At that point a man emerges from the lineup, and Szweda observes that it is “that little priest,” the one the people talk about because “he holds services and sometimes gives away his rations.”\nThe priest’s action startles the camp guards, who draw their rifles and machine guns. As the priest speaks, the commandant—this one who before displayed absolute freedom to do whatever he wants in the camp—becomes momentarily flustered. Szweda wonders “what the priest could have said that would crack the exterior of superiority and absolute power.”\nThe priest has asked to take the other man’s place.\nSzweda, who up to this time never questioned his will to collaborate with the Nazi’s, watches as the priest is taken away with ten other men. He watches as “the image of the priest’s face burned into his mind,” because there is something so different about the priest’s character.\nThe effect of the priest’s action is contagious. It affects not only Szweda, but the other prisoners in the camp and the German guards as well. They simply cannot make sense of the priest’s action—and yet they are also haunted by him. The Germans have tried to get to him in the past through beatings, but nothing has been effective. Now, in the starvation cells, one of the guards, a man named Vierck, becomes bothered by the singing and praying led by the priest. He believes the singing is not only from the men, but is now actually “in the bricks.”\nThe commandant is also affected. He comes to the priest in the starvation cell and offers him a bite of cheese, and though he notices a “sudden twinge of shocked desire in the priest’s face,” the expression quickly vanishes. The priest consistently asks that the cheese be given to the other men in the starvation cell.\nThrough the ensuing days in the cell, the effect of the priest on all those around him is magnified and grows more infectious. The other men in the cell with him are affected profoundly by the priest’s character. On the thirteenth day the priest prays, “Behold, O Lord, the dreaming starving skeleton in its feast of the spirit.” He remembers to pray for “those who torture us, pray tenfold for the masters of this empire … that man who offered me cheese—bless him in his trek toward the light.”\nThe priest ponders the simplicity of the words, “I thirst,” clearly reflecting his own tragic circumstances while also evoking another man who uttered those words while hanging from a cross. With the little voice left in his throat, the priest says to a guard peering in the window, “I forgive you.” He has no regrets for having taken another man’s place. Neither his suffering nor his impending death prevents the priest from continuing his course, refusing the violence that surrounds him and forgiving others in both word and deed.\nVierck [the guard] eventually cannot bear any longer the pressure of the priest’s presence, of the priest’s eyes, of the voices and singing. He recognizes in the priest’s life, in his forgiveness, a call for his own conversion. But [Vierck] cannot bear it. And so he commits suicide by hurling himself onto an electric fence.\nThe commandant is furious because of Vierck’s weakness. But underneath his fury, he recognizes the priest’s profound threat to the Nazis simply by his refusal to submit to, and thus reproduce, a world of violence. He thinks to himself, “The priest has compromised the stability of a good system … The horrible fact is that if every one of them were magnetized by the example of his extreme, willful selflessness, then the system would topple.”\nIronically, there is nothing more powerful than the priest’s refusal to submit to the Nazi’s power. Later in the book, one man says, “Those who give up their lives, at least in principle, become more dangerous to the Germans than planes or tanks. They become the ultimate weapon.” This weapon suggests that we need an account of forgiveness that represents not a distorted and distorting weakness but an alternative form of power, a forgiveness whose power is found in Christ’s cross and resurrection, a pattern to which the priest’s life and death bears witness. For it is the power that breaks apart the cycles of violence and offers a returning of the announcement of God’s peace. This power shows that violence is neither inescapable nor unlearnable. Nor is it the master of us all (Embodying Forgiveness, L. Gregory Jones, Eerdmans, 1995, pp. 91–98).\nIn a world that maintains such a casual relationship to violence, a taken-for-grantedness that ought to shame everyone who claims to follow a man who—when given the chance—chose to endure violence rather than inflict it, we need a dangerous mercy, a world altering generosity, the kind that turns reality on its head.\nWe need a new way of locking arms with those who are too often the targets of cruelty, those who live in fear that the bigwigs who run the show will notice them and begin to stoke the fires of fear and hatred against them—a kindness so destabilizing that the world, as it’s presently ordered, can’t contain it.\nJust trying to figure it all out. It’s possible, according to this world, to have a faith so nice that it leaves no tracks behind. It’s possible, according to Matthew, however, to have a faith that’s so odd, so remarkable, so against the grain of this world’s accounts of righteousness that the whole world is literally knocked off its foundations. Just ask Joseph. He opened up the door just a crack to let God in—and death’s been on the run ever since.\nAnd here we are 2000 years later still telling Joseph’s story. One righteous man or woman can make a huge dent in the universe. Who knows? Maybe you.\n—Amen."}

{"text": "Additional First World War photographs and posters in the Department of National Defence collection (1964-114) and other private and Government collections are available in the database at LAC.\nLibrary and Archives Canada has several thousand photographs and posters related to Canada's military activity in the First World War and contemporary campaigns in support of the war. The images highlighted here represent a fraction of the rich documentary art and photography collections.\nWhen the Canadian forces first reached England in 1914, they relied on commercial photographers to record various military activities. However, in the spring of 1915, when Canadian troops went into action on the western front, there were no official military photographers. Not only was the front line unsafe for commercial photographers, individual officers and men were prohibited from using personal cameras. As a result, there are no photographic records of Canadian participation in early battles, such as the Second Battle of Ypres, April 1915.\nIn January 1916, the Canadian War Records Office was established in London, England. As well as being responsible for the dissemination of information on the war, the office was engaged in compiling and preserving a wide range of historical documentation. Recognizing the value of documentary photography, the office appointed Captain Henry Edward Knobel as the first official photographer on April 28, 1916. In August 1916, newspaper photographer William Ivor Castle became Knobel's successor. Castle served as official photographer until June 1917, capturing some 800 images, notably the battles of Courcelette, September 1916, and Vimy Ridge, April 1917. On June 4, 1917, British-born William Rider-Rider took over as official photographer. Rider-Rider photographed all of the Canadian Corps' actions, from the capture of Hill 70 in France in August 1917 to the crossing of the Rhine at Bonn in December 1918.\nWhile Knobel, Castle and Rider-Rider were designated official photographers, many other unknown photographers documented Canadian military activities, both in Canada and Europe. Their work forms a core part of the photographic collections held at Library and Archives Canada.\nDuring the First World War, the Canadian government was faced with the daunting tasks of recruiting men for the Canadian Expeditionary Force and financing an expensive war abroad. Thus, the war effort at home focused on recruitment campaigns and fundraising efforts, such as the Victory Loan Drives, which called for the public to purchase Victory Bonds. Canadian artists played an important role in these campaigns, through the creation of colourful and often emotionally charged posters aimed at the general public.\nAlthough there was no central agency responsible for the production of these posters during the first few years of the war, by 1916 the Dominion Government had created the War Poster Service, which was responsible for the production and nationwide distribution of war posters. Displayed in public places, such as shop windows, factories and railway stations, many of the posters were specially designed to encourage Canadian men of French, Irish, or Scottish heritage to enlist."}
{"text": "Elizabeth Graves provides a preview of her recent large format camera-building experiments.\nAs the winter holidays approached in late December and my office colleagues discussed their holiday vacation plans, they turned to me to ask how I planned to spend my time off work.\n“I’ll visit my parents, and then I’ll build a large format camera – and possibly an ULTRA large format camera!” I exclaimed, as if that was the most normal thing in the world to say.\nThey let me know that was NOT a normal thing to say (or do) moments later.\nI had already created a mock-up of an ultra large format (ULF) camera after Thanksgiving, designing cautiously around a heavy process lens I’d purchased on the Internet with a focal length of about 64 cm (25 inches). My ULF is going to be a long camera, capable of making very large wet collodion plates (perhaps more than 70cm wide). I don’t want it to be an unusually heavy camera, however, even with its 1 kg lens, and so I’ve been sketching out designs that involve lightweight aluminum, dark cloth… and very little else.\nIt will be many months before I have a chance to complete all of that work, including some tricky construction of experimental ULF field developing equipment and plate holder designs. To tide myself over and get some practice with the aluminum and experimental kit ideas, I decided to build a smaller camera with the same materials.\nMy first holiday and New Year project is a field camera which is merely large format (LF). I’ll be using it to make the “cabinet view” sized plates I already make (6″ x 8″ – about 15 cm x 20 cm), plus perhaps some larger square plates. (Yes, when you make your own equipment, you can make plates fog lingers through the day!\nThe photo above is a preview shot of the prototype as it currently exists, which is the third iteration of my first idea for this camera. It will surely change again before I am satisfied with it.\nWhen this camera (or some variation of it) and its field equipment is in active use, I’ll post additional details about how I made this camera with cut-to-order materials, so that the only tool I needed to use regularly was a screwdriver. If I learn what I need to learn from this camera, the ULF will follow later in the year, along with gloriously large (and difficult to handle) plates.\nWish me luck!\n5 Comments\nwhere do you get the aluminum rails and connectors?\nI’m wondering if there will be any toxicity or adverse chemical reaction between the chemicals and the aluminium?\nGordon, I’ll write about my material choices in detail in later articles, but I’m using OpenBeam (openbeamusa.com). You can also find different aluminum extrusion designs with different screw sizes and a broad range of other connector styles) over at the Adafruit Industries website (adafruit.com).\nBrian, contemporary wet collodion plates are made of aluminum with a factory-enamel on one side: if the plates can handle the chemistry, the camera certainly can! It’s actually a big improvement in camera materials, since many large format cameras are made of wood and brass (and brass corrodes spectacularly when exposed to the chemistry).\nI really with you well with this. People I know who build their own gear learn about their medium very quickly and deeply. I hope this works for you as well\nHi Great design, I congratulate you on your accomplishments and goals. I have built all the pieces to shoot 12×20 and 12×12 plates in the field. so I know what your up to. I have just built a new 4×5 on the premise of the polaroid 110 concept and with the back design I came up with it might make a great ulf design. I will keep tabs on your progress with anticipation. keep up the great work.\nDavid\nOne Trackback\n[…] Openbeam is very handy and can be used for all kinds of projects…. Elizabeth Graves used it to build a Large Format Camera. […]"}

I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes.”\nMinnesota’s next two games are back-to-back: Sunday at the Trail Blazers and Monday at the Clippers.\nButler’s distaste for playing for the Timberwolves has been an ongoing, drama-filled nightmare for the team.

So far, it hasn’t.\nHe sat out Wednesday night’s game against the Jazz because, as he told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, his “body was hurting.”\nButler has appeared in seven of the Timberwolves’ nine games, averaging 22.3 points and 34 minutes per game. Minnesota is 4-5, last in the Northwest Division.\nHow much of Butler’s “availability” is affected by his desire to leave the Timberwolves vs. actual health issues likely will dog Butler until his situation is resolved.\n“I’m not worried about no deal,” Butler said, per ESPN. when pressed by reporters, he added: y’all normally do.”\nButler, 29, is in his eighth NBA season."}

I knew I’d get to put on my costume in the morning and wear it to the parade at school and they’d play Monster Mash and the Ghostbusters theme song over the speakers and sometimes the older kids would give us candy. And Mrs. Flynn would wear her billowy cloak and read ghost stories. And I’d get to feel all smug because even though my classmates were rich and I was poor, most of them had lame storebought costumes and I had handmade awesomeness. It was hard to sleep the night before Halloween, but I knew I should because then the day would come sooner.\nYeah.\nI feel like that.\nOnly for oral surgery.\nOh, and I seem to have picked up another hitchhiker. See, I only own one pair of everyday shoes. I got them at a garage sale for 50 cents and they’re somewhat worn. A few weeks ago, I noticed a rattling in my left shoe – turns out the bit of sole under the heel is hollow, and the bottom has warn away to a small flap covering the hollow space.\nI’ve got a compartment in my shoe, and the compartment has a door.\nThe rattling a few weeks ago came from a smooth white pebble that worked its way into the compartment. Sometimes the sound of the pebble annoyed me, but I liked the idea of a nomadic rock enough to overcome my annoyance. That little guy traveled pretty far for a pebble. It accompanied me from one home to another. It crossed state lines. It hid in the bushes with me and climbed ladders and stairs and trees.\nI eventually left it in the fountain outside the hotel in Indianapolis. I’d removed the pebble from my shoe to show Grace, and I dropped it accidentally. It made a “sploosh!” sound when it hit the water.\nI don’t blame it – the day was hot, and the water was clear and blue and contained occasional birds. The fountain should provide new opportunities for adventure, and I always knew the pebble would leave eventually. Hitchhikers and nomads can’t stay for too long without losing some of their essential nature.\nMy shoe was a little lonely, though. Hollow sole.\nBut I was climbing the fence to get to the dentist today and when I hit the ground I felt a popping sensation under my foot. I took a step.\nRattle rattle.\nI took another.\nRattle.\nMy hitchhiker is gray this time, and smaller than the last one. I hope I give it a good ride.\nI could also use some new shoes.\n* Speaking of moving tails, this lady is my hero. Or, well, she’s my hero who isn’t Mary Willcocks. If I’ve ever given you a reading with my not-tarot deck and you got the Zamweasel card, that’s who I’m talking about."}
{"text": "Tracking and managing sales performance is all about finding and improving the right key performance indicators. Here are four of the main ones for the modern marketplace.\n1. Lead Quantity And Quality\nLead quantity and quality, also known as your lead flow, measures the opportunities your salespeople have to connect with potential customers. If you don't have sufficient leads available, your people won't have the opportunities they need to display their customer service and closure skills. However, too many poor-quality leads may lead to your staff wasting time and reduced sales performance. Note where the best leads come from and the demographics of the people in the prime lead groups to work out where to focus lead gathering in the future rather than simply seeking increased volume. Also, make sure your lead numbers are sufficient to support your sales staff in producing their best work.\n2. Lead Engagement\nHow many of the leads you've given to your salespeople have they fully engaged with? Lead engagement might take the form of a one-to-one conversation, targeted information or a simple personalized email, but the point is good sales performance requires your staff to go beyond mass marketing. Customers insist on being treated as individuals, and your staff members must go the extra mile to close the deal. Leads that have been engaged with in this way are also known as qualified leads.\n3. Conversion\nSome companies calculate conversion as simply the number of new customers in a period divided by the number of qualified leads, claiming this gives an idea of the effectiveness of sales performance. However, this formula doesn't take into account the length of your sales pipeline or the effects of any marketing or sales work done outside of the direct sales conversation. What conversion rates can do is give you an idea of the effectiveness of your selection processes for qualified leads and help you to refine your procedures. Plotting new customers against lead engagement over time to calculate lag times is one way to do this, and this can also help you to measure and account for any seasonal effects. By including the timing of particular campaigns, you may also be able to calculate marketing and sales performance for those pushes.\n4. Revenue Changes\nIt's important to realize revenue changes include not only new business but also increased and renewed contracts. Some of your most important leads may already be customers to some extent, and unless you take their additional business into account, you may consistently underestimate your sales performance. Maintaining ongoing relationships with existing customers is at least as valuable a skill as cultivating new ones, and the work your salespeople do to keep your contracts relevant and growing should be acknowledged.\nWhile a number of useful KPIs provide you with a better understanding of some aspect of sales performance, it's important to remember that no one figure tells the whole story. Looking at the sales pipeline from leads to revenue can help you get a more comprehensive idea of exactly what's going well and where changes need to be made.\nPhoto courtesy of stockimages at FreeDigitalPhotos.net\nBecome a member to take advantage of more features, like commenting and voting.\nRegister or sign in today!"}
{"text": "Strict Rule Portfolio - how do you achieve it?\nHi all,\nBit of a long post that's probably more of a thought experiment than something I would actually execute, unless some of you can convince me it's a great idea! :D\nApologies of this is just a rerun of a post someone else has done in the past, feel free to link that and we can revisit that one. :)\nEssentially I don't understand how a strict rule portfolio would work in the real world of a small PI and also I have recognised issues with how I pick stocks, though they're nothing new and probably just restating things that have been written about 100,000 times before.\nSummary of the issue:\nThe waffle section goes into a lot more detail on the thought process but, I don't really have clear rules on what shares to buy, position sizes or have a plan with how or when to dispose of them. Position sizing is usually just \"how much cash do I have right now\". My biases are killing my ability to pick successful stocks or maybe my confirmation biases are playing havoc with my ability to recall what shares I looked at and why I rejected them. Probably both.\nThen I remembered the NAPS portfolio and I remembered others use heavily rule based processes (SIF and Magic Hat come to mind though I don't recall right now what their criteria are), maybe there's something I can leverage in a similar way….\nThe Plan:\nWell, potential plan, I'm looking to start a discussion and see what others think of it as an idea.\nSo my shares are generally small cap, have high QM. I can screen for that. I'm not very bright, but the fine folks at Stockopedia are, so rather than try to come up with KPIs for my screen based on all kinds of numbers I don't really understand fully, I would leverage my subscription and their brains and use the StockRanks. Screen for market cap above £50m below £700m, Q, M, QM and G all above 80.\nEasy peasy.\nBut wait IGPJ - there's already out of the box screens that do something similar - yes there is but they don't fit the plan and I shall explain why.\nSo, you have to remember I only have a reasonably small pot, I can't commit to much more than £20k (well I could but…\nUnlock the rest of this article with a 14 day trial\nor Unlock with your email\nAlready have an account?\nLogin here"}

{"text": "Cucumbers were always my favorite. We would sneak them out of the garden and eat them in vinegar and with salt. We would take a salt shaker to the garden and steal tomatoes too! What great memories. I have grown into less of an outdoor girl but none the less I enjoy vegetable gardens! Oh we even had potatoes a few times.....I had forgotten that until now.\nThis recipe is so much a part of my childhood. My mom had one bowl in particular she would put the cucumbers in to sit with a random plate and huge bottle of vinegar to force out the liquid. I can remember meals where we had sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, corn on the cob, maybe some green beans. and that was it! That was a summer meal at my house! I loved it and I still do.\nI know that this is easy. It is very simple, but sometimes the simplest things are the tastiest. I like to put up recipes for beginners, and readers in other countries. I think more than anything it is the method with this recipe that makes it so good. I can remember my mom slicing these SO thin. No, she wasn't OCD at all. I swear each slice had to be the same thickness and the actually had to be the same THIN-NESS. She was meticulous about crazy stuff like that! Sorry ma......but we both know it is true!\nI used about 10 medium sized cucumbers. Much of this recipes is to taste but I will give you the amounts I used on these \"cuc's\" as we call them at our house!\n10 medium cucumbers\n1 onion sliced\nsalt\n1/2 cup vinegar\n1/2 cup sour cream (optional)\nPeel cucumbers and slice. I use my food processor but if you don't have one no worries. Use a big bowl and slice a few then put them in the bowl, put on a layer of onion, salt GENEROUSLY and keep going. Do this until all cucumbers are sliced and use all the onions. (I went light on the onions, I don't like raw onion but I like the flavor it lends)\nYou will think you are going to die from high blood pressure with the amount of salt you are using but remember, we are drawing out liquid and you will drain that liquid off so you are good. Put a plate of the top facing down, one that fits close to the edge and then put something heavy on top to weigh it down.\nI let these sit for a good 3-4 hours, draining off the liquid as it accumulated. They can go a lot longer with no problem. It makes the cucumbers crunchy but limp which I love! After you have drained them you simply add your vinegar and mix. You can use any vinegar you want, I prefer apple cider. You will know if you didn't use enough salt, because the bite of the vinegar will be overpowering so USE ENOUGH SALT!! If vinegar is all you want on them which is the way I eat them you are done!!! ENJOY!\nCreamed Cucumbers\nDo not add vinegar, add 1/2-3/4 cup sour cream and then just 1 tbsp vinegar. Mix until thoroughly combined! Now, you can enjoy YOUR version!!\nAnd can I just warn you the longer these sit in your fridge the better they become!!! I am certain most people have their own versions of this exact salad but this......is the Smith version!!\nYour \"cucumbers make the world go 'round\" chefwannabe\nI forgot about these. Thank you, I will be making these right away. :)\nMy parents gardened and we were the \"free\" help. However, I discovered that the easiest way to pick green beans was to pull up the plant, turn it upside down, and pick off the beans that were now much easier to see. (This also kept them from producing more and thereby my need to pick them.) And then my Dad caught me and sent me into the house. \"Okay!!!\" :)\nI also just saw a cucumber salad today at work that looked really good. Looked very similar to this, but I can guarantee it was full of sugar. Interesting that your recipe doesn't have sugar."}

{"text": "So we’re on the plane, somewhere over Western New Mexico or possibly Eastern Arizona. It’s a rough, dry, hardscrabble landscape, carved out of the history of a few billion years of changing climate and calamity and times of flood and drought.\nWe’re returning home from GRL – Gay Romance Literature for the uninitiated – a great con full of amazing, beautiful and supportive people who love books and the queer community.\nIt’s the first GRL since one of its founding members, Ethan Day, passed away suddenly after the 2018 con in Virginia. It’s bittersweet for me for another reason too… it may be my last.\nAs regular readers of this column know, I am shifting my focus. I fell into MM romance almost by accident. I was looking to get published, and there was a very active publishing scene in queer romance, especially gay romance. Hey, I was a writer, and I was gay, so I figured “How hard could it be?”\nOh, poor naïve younger Scott.\nThere are some amazing writers of queer romance – men, women, transgender, and nb/gender fluid – folks who know how to wring emotion out of a scene, to make the relationship the plot and tell a beautiful and compelling story.\nBut it’s never been my first writing love.\nSci fi and fantasy were my mothers’ milk, almost literally. My mom was a sci fi book club member, and I started on her shelves in her library room early, reading The Lord of the Rings in third grade. I was raised on Asimov and Clarke and McCaffrey, and by junior high I knew I wanted to write.\nAnd so I did. I’ve done some amazing things in the last few years – not one but two trilogies, and over 35 works published. Still, commercial success has eluded me, and it’s in part because I have been shoehorning myself into something that was never a perfect fit.\nSo in 2020, I am charting a new path into the rocky shoals of mainstream sci fi and fantasy. Don’t worry – my queer characters are coming along for the ride. But my plan is to really stake it all on writing the kind of fiction I have always loved and been most passionate about, and to attend cons and make connections with readers who love them as much as I do. Hopefully I’ll find more fertile ground than the high desert we’re passing over now.\nAnd GRL? Who knows? We’ve tossed around the idea of attending in our industry support capacity with Other Worlds Ink, so you may still see us around in our old haunts\nFor now, though, I am excited about this new direction, and hope y’all will come along with me.\nFor my writer friends, what’s your next chapter?\n2 thoughts on “POINT OF VIEW: After the Con”\nIt was so very great meeting you (both) at GRL 2019. You can always attend as a reader to see everyone and enjoy the festivities without the stress of selling yourself 24/7!\nI wish you all the best in this new chapter, wherever it may lead.\nNext chapter is basically keeping on keeping on!"}

It is known for technological advancements in the fields of crypto currency and the aerospace industry. Plattsburg is also among the northernmost cities of the country close to the Canadian border. This provides an escape route from the hectic life of New York to the parks and natural wildlife of Canada. If you have a move to schedule, talk to A-1 Auto Transport. We are the most advanced moving and vehicle relocation company in New York.\nWhy you need a moving company\n- Limited time: If you have been transferred to a new workstation and you need to move in a few weeks, moving companies are best placed to handle your move. They have adequate moving personnel who are trained to handle emergency moves. They also have warehouses where you can store your items as you search for affordable housing.\n- Packing: Packing is the most time-consuming moving task. It is recommended that you engage a moving company to assist you with this. Moving companies perform packing routinely and know how to pack different items for the long haul. They also pack your items strategically by labeling all the boxes which makes it easier to locate your items in a huge load.\n- Customer-friendly services: Since moving can be a demanding process, you require personnel who can make the move smooth and efficient. Moving companies have trained personnel who handle customers professionally. The communication channels used are fast and dependable making it easy to solve any problems you may have.\nA-1 Auto Transport can help you move your household goods nationwide. Call 888-509-3213 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote on interstate moving services.\nSelect the best mover in Plattsburgh\nReferrals\nAsk your friends or family who have moved in the past for referrals of reliable moving companies. They can give sound recommendations if they had a pleasant experience.\nMembership\nCheck if the company is a member of the American Movers and Storage Association. The association is the largest in the country with over 3500 moving companies. They register reliable and trustworthy moving and storage companies. They also dictate the terms of membership such as provision of quality services.\nConsumer complaints\nUse the Better Business Bureau to verify the company’s quality of customer service. Movers are bound to rub one or two customers the wrong way among the thousands of moves they conduct annually. Check how they resolve complaints to determine their competence. Choose the company which resolves all complaints amicably and registers few or no complaints annually.\nPermits\nKey in a company’s USDOT carrier number at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association to verify its:\n- Moving resources. A reliable mover should have adequate trucks and drivers for long distance moves.\n- Safety rating. Deal with moving companies that have a safety rating higher than the national average.\n- Pending violations. Hire a moving company with few or no pending violations.\n- Household items moving license. All movers should have a license which is renewable after two years.\nTips to make your move easy\n- Understand how long distance moves work. Use the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association’s moving booklet which educates the public about moving. It is especially important for first time moving customers since they are most affected by hidden expenses in long distance moves.\n- Long distance moves across states typically take 2 months to prepare. If you are moving across the country, you require at least a 12 week preparation interval. The more complicated your move, the more time you will need.\n- Create a moving budget after the company personnel conducts a walkthrough of your items. A budget helps control your expenses.\n- Get rid of items you do not need/use. They take up unnecessary space in the moving vehicle and your new house.\n- Ask friends to help with your move. Assign them tasks like packing non-breakables and clearing pathways. Ensure you handle valuables yourself.\n- Keep all moving receipts. Check the Internal Revenue Service to establish whether they are tax deductible or not. Several moving receipts from work moves enjoy tax relief.\nWhy Hire A-1 Auto Transport?\nWe are easily accessible through our digitized communication platform that allows swift and sound responses.

{"text": "Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall, Vol. 2, by William Bottrell, [1873], at sacred-texts.com\nTo find the Saint's Well one should take a pathway bearing westward, from a little below the church, and which leads over Roskestal cliff to Pargwarra (we spell all names as the inhabitants pronounce them). After crossing the brook and mounting a hedge keep straight towards the sea, and on a pretty level spot the ruined walls of St. Levan's baptistry will be found, as also some traces of rude steps on a pathway that connected this holy fount with an ancient chapel and burying-ground which stood on ground so near the precipice that little, if any, of its site now remains. We have heard old folks of St. Levan (who were born there more than a century ago) say that in their younger days Parchapel Well, as they always called it, was, twice a year, regularly cleaned out and repaired, and the ground, for a good space around, as well as the steps, cleared of weeds, swept, and sanded. The first week of May being a time of general well-dressing, Parchapel Well was never neglected then, and it was also cleaned up against the feasten tide, when many christenings usually took place.\nOld folks also spoke of another time-honoured observance in which the Saint's Well was shown due respect. Until within half a century or so, it was a custom on Christmas-eve for carol singers belonging to the higher side hamlets to assemble in Sowah town-place round a large flat table-like rock called the Garrack Zans (holy rock). Here they would commence singing, and proceed to Roskestal, where at another Garrack Zans in that town-place they would be joined by others, and all would thence go singing down to Parchapel Well, where they would meet with many singers from Treen and other lower-side places. At the Well many an old carol would be chanted. One was never forgotten, in which, according to our West Country version, Holy Mary says to her dear child:—\nThis, for its sweet simplicity, is still a favourite in the west.\np. 149\nThe rude steps, which may yet be traced (though almost overgrown by rushes and other water-plants) will be regarded with interest, as we learn from St. Levan traditions that great sinners did penance by crawling over these rough stones on their bare knees, and that the devout who desired or aspired to acquire extraordinary grace, or indulgence, scrambled up all the way on bare knees from chapel-door to holy fount."}

{"text": "Overdrive reports that the latest generation Porsche 911 will launch in India on 11 April. The eighth-gen 911 will make its local debut in the Carrera S and 4S coupe and cabriolet variants.\nThe new-gen Porsche 911 features an evolved design that looks more modern than that of the outgoing version. The increased dimensions play a vital role in enhancing the road presence of the supercar. The front-end is characterised by a set of higher-set headlamps that feature several LED fixtures. The rear-end features a seamless light bar that runs across the width of the vehicle.\nThe new-gen Porsche 911 is underpinned by a re-engineered platform that is capable of supporting a hybrid powertrain. Powering the Carrera S and 4S models is an updated 3.0-litre turbocharged flat-six motor that comes mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The engine produces a maximum power of 450 PS at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 530 Nm at 2,300-5,000 rpm.\nThanks to the extra traction from the all-wheel drive, the Carrera 4S is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, which makes it 0.1 seconds quicker than the Carrera S. Both the models are roughly 0.4 seconds faster to the ton than their predecessors. Moreover, the 0-100 km/h timing can be reduced by 0.2 seconds by opting for the optional Sport Chrono Package. The fuel consumption (NEDC-correlated) of the 911 Carrera S is 8.9 l/100 km, while the 911 Carrera 4S consumes 9.0 l/100 km. The Carrera 4S and Carrera S have a top speed of 306 km/h and 308 km/h, respectively.\nAlso Read - Porsche Cayenne Coupe India launch by October 2019 - Report\nThe prices of the 2019 Porsche 911 are expected to fall in the range of INR 1.6-1.9 crore (ex-showroom).

Secs. 141-187 (1982) for damages and injunctive relief against The Paper Industry Union-Management Pension Fund and its trustees (Fund or trustees), alleging that the Fund arbitrarily and capriciously cancelled past service credits of Niagara's employees upon Niagara's withdrawal from the Fund. The district court1 granted the Fund's motion for summary judgment and dismissed Niagara's complaint. Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Corp. v. The Paper Industry Union-Management Fund, 603 F.Supp. 1420, 1422-23 (D.Minn.1984) (August Order). In addition, the district court subsequently denied Niagara's motions for reconsideration, for further discovery and for leave to amend its complaint. Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Corp. v. The Paper Industry Union-Management Fund, 603 F.Supp. 1423, 1431 (D.Minn.1984) (December Order). Niagara appeals from portions of these adverse rulings and for the reasons discussed below, we now affirm.\nI. FACTS\nThe Fund is a large, multi-employer pension fund governed by section 302(c)(5) of the LMRA, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(c)(5), and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. Secs. 1001-1368 (1976), as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (MPPAA), 29 U.S.C. Secs. 1381-1461 (1982). The Fund operates as a trust, providing pension and other benefits to employees covered under collective bargaining agreements negotiated by various affiliates of the United Paper Workers International Union. Niagara is a manufacturer of paper products and from 1973 through January 31, 1981 Niagara made contributions to the Fund on behalf of its eligible employees. Effective January 31, 1981 Niagara withdrew from the Fund and established its own pension plan for the benefit of its employees. Pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with its employees entered into at the time, Niagara agreed to make up any benefits or credits cancelled or denied by the Fund due to Niagara's withdrawal from the Fund.\nTo counteract the effect of Niagara's withdrawal from the plan the Fund took the following two steps to safeguard the solvency of the plan. First, in August, 1981 the Fund imposed withdrawal liability upon Niagara under section 1381 of MPPAA. The Fund determined that Niagara's share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits was approximately $1.5 million. Second, in April, 1982 the Fund cancelled certain unfunded past service credits2 of Niagara employees who were not on pension by April 1, 1982, based upon the advice of its actuaries, the Martin E. Segal Company (Segal). Segal had calculated that the pension benefits to Niagara participants were valued at $6.6 million and that Niagara's total contributions, including the $1.5 million withdrawal liability equalled only $3.3 million, resulting in a substantial shortfall to the Fund. Segal advised the Fund that the actuarial balance of the Fund was in jeopardy unless the Fund cancelled the past service credits.\nFrom October, 1981 through April, 1983 Niagara made its required monthly withdrawal liability payments to the Fund. Niagara stopped making its payments in May, 1983 and in June, 1983 Niagara filed this suit and a motion for a preliminary injunction. Niagara alleged that the Fund arbitrarily and capriciously cancelled past service credits of Niagara's employees, refused to participate in arbitration demanded by Niagara and caused Niagara to pay monies in excess of its properly calculated withdrawal liability. Niagara asserted claims under both ERISA and the LMRA. Niagara's request for a preliminary injunction was denied. The Fund filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, or alternatively, for summary judgment.\nOn December 23, 1983 the district court entered a memorandum and order granting the Fund's motion to dismiss Niagara's claim to compel arbitration as untimely and to dismiss Niagara's claims under ERISA for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. However the district court denied the Fund's motion to dismiss Niagara's claims under the LMRA holding that there was jurisdiction to hear Niagara's challenge to the Fund's cancellation of past service credits.3\nThe remaining LMRA claims proceeded before the district court on the cross motions by Niagara and the Fund for summary judgment. Following oral argument and the submission of written memoranda the district court granted the Fund's motion for summary judgment, holding that the trustees' actions were not arbitrary and capricious and that Niagara failed to establish a violation of Sec. 302(c)(5) of the LMRA.4 August Order, supra, 603 F.Supp. at 1422.\nThereafter Niagara filed motions to reconsider, for further discovery, and for leave to amend the complaint to plead breach of contract claims under Sec. 301(a) of the LMRA, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 185(a)5. The district court denied these motions, December Order, supra, 603 F.Supp. at 1431, and Niagara appealed after the entry of a final judgment in June, 1985.\nSince Niagara does not appeal the dismissal of its request to compel arbitration, the initial withdrawal liability calculation, or the dismissal of its ERISA claims, the sole focus of this appeal is the dismissal of Niagara's LMRA claims challenging the Fund's cancellation of the past service credits. For reversal, Niagara specifically argues that: 1) the district court erred in denying partial summary judgment to Niagara and in granting summary judgment to the Fund on Niagara's Sec. 302(c)(5) claim; and 2) the district court abused its discretion in denying Niagara's motion for leave to amend its complaint after dismissal of its complaint to add claims under section 301(a).\nII. DISCUSSION\nA. Section 302(c)(5)\n1. Standard of Review\nNiagara brought this action challenging the Fund's action under section 302(c)(5) of the LMRA. Section 302(c)(5) allows payments to pension and similar trust funds only if they are for the \"sole and exclusive benefit\" of employees. This court has jurisdiction under section 302(e)6 to restrain violations of subsection (c)(5). Arroyo v. United States, 359 U.S. 419, 426-27, 79 S.Ct. 864, 868-69, 3 L.Ed.2d 915 (1959). Section 302(c)(5) has been construed to impose on trustees the burden of fiduciary care, as defined under traditional trust law principles. NLRB v. Amax Coal Co., 453 U.S. 322, 330, 101 S.Ct. 2789, 2794, 69 L.Ed.2d 672 (1981). Each trustee bears an \"unwavering duty of complete loyalty\" to employees, id. at 329, 101 S.Ct. at 2794, and this duty \"to trust beneficiaries must overcome any loyalty to the interest of the party that appointed him,\" id. at 334, 101 S.Ct. at 2796. It is well settled in this circuit that federal courts may overturn a decision of private pension fund fiduciaries only if the decision is arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of discretion.7 Severs v. Allied Construction Services, Inc., Employees' Profit Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan, 795 F.2d 649, 650-51 (8th Cir.1986); Lawrence v. Westerhaus, 780 F.2d 1321, 1322 (8th Cir.1985); Central Hardware Co. v. Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund, 770 F.2d 106, 109 (8th Cir.1985), cert. denied, --- U.S. ---, 106 S.Ct. 1515, 89 L.Ed.2d 914 (1986); Geigle v. Flacke, 768 F.2d 259, 262 (8th Cir.1985); Short v. Central States, Southeast & Southwest Areas Pension Fund, 729 F.2d 567, 571 (8th Cir.1984); and Bueneman v. Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund, 572 F.2d 1208, 1209 (8th Cir.1978). If there is evidence supporting the decision, it is not arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of discretion. Severs, supra, 795 F.2d at 651; Lawrence, supra, 780 F.2d at 1322-23; Torimino v. United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Industry Pension Fund, 548 F.Supp. 1012, 1014 (E.D.Mo.1982), aff'd, 712 F.2d 882-83 (8th Cir.1983) (per curiam).\nThe district court granted summary judgment to the Fund because Niagara did not establish a violation of section 302(c)(5). Summary judgment is appropriate only if there is \"no genuine issue as to any material fact and * * * the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.\" FED.R.CIV.P. 56(c). Further, as was recently held by the Supreme Court, the inquiry involved in a ruling on a motion for summary judgment necessarily implicates the substantive evidentiary standard of proof that would apply at the trial on the merits. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., --- U.S. ---, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2512, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). Thus, like the district court, we need only determine whether there was any genuine factual conflict on the question of the arbitrary and capricious nature of the Fund's action. Severs, supra, 795 F.2d at 651; Lawrence, supra, 780 F.2d at 1323.\n2. Merits\nWe understand Niagara's attack on the district court's entry of summary judgment for the Fund to be twofold.8 First, Niagara takes the position that it was entitled to partial summary judgment because it established that the trustees violated a fiduciary duty imposed by section 302(c)(5) when they cancelled the past service credits. Secondly, Niagara maintains that the entry of summary judgment was not proper because there existed disputed issues of material fact concerning the actuaries' calculation and advice regarding the unfunded liability caused by Niagara's withdrawal.9\na. Breach of Fiduciary Duty\nNiagara argues that the trustees breached their fiduciary duty to act only in accordance with the terms of the pension plan when they cancelled the past service credits. Niagara contends that the Fund acquired the authority to cancel the past service credits by amending the plan's Rules and Regulations in 1981 after Niagara's withdrawal and that the amendment was adopted in violation of another plan provision requiring compliance with an ERISA requirement.\nThe Fund responds that there was no violation of section 302(c)(5) because the cancellation of past service credits was authorized by provisions in the Standard Form Agreement (Standard Agreement) and the Declaration of Trust Agreement (Trust Agreement) which Niagara signed. The Fund takes the position that the 1981 amendment was added to incorporate MPPAA and in doing so to confirm and reiterate the Fund's longstanding policy and practice of cancelling past service credits which the Fund claims Niagara was aware of.10\nThe district court agreed with the Fund. It held that there was authority for the trustees' cancellation of the past service credits in the Standard and Trust Agreements. December Order, supra, 603 F.Supp. at 1426-27. We agree.\nIf the 1981 plan amendment Niagara is relying on was the only provision relevant to the powers and duties of the trustees, we might be inclined to agree with Niagara. Our review of the Standard and Trust Agreements, however, reveals a number of provisions highly supportive of the trustees' authority to take the steps they took to protect the plan following Niagara's withdrawal, apart from the plan amendment.\nThe Standard Agreement provides that Niagara's contributions shall be used \"to provide retirement benefits for eligible employees in accordance with the Pension Plan of said Fund, as determined by the Trustees of said Fund, to be applied to the eligible employees based on the amount of employer contribution.\" Section II. Section III of the Standard Agreement states that Niagara \"agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions\" of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust.\nIn addition to the Standard Agreement, the Trust Agreement contains several pertinent provisions regarding the powers and duties of the trustees. Section 3 of Article IV states in part that the trustees are empowered \"[t]o do all acts, whether or not expressly authorized herein, which the Trustees may deem necessary or proper for the protection of property held hereunder\" and \"[t]o do all acts, whether or not expressly authorized herein, which the Trustees may deem necessary to accomplish the general objective of enabling the employees to obtain pension benefits in the most efficient and economical manner.\" Further, section 1 of Article VI gives the trustees \"full authority to determine all questions of nature, amount and duration of benefits to be provided based on what it is estimated the Fund can provide without undue depletion * * .\"\nWe agree with the contention of the Fund that these provisions in the Standard and Trust Agreements gave the trustees the general authority to cancel the past service credits if done to effectuate the purposes of the Fund. In an effort to carry out their obligation to protect the trust fund and assure a continuation of funded benefits to other plan members, the trustees decided to follow the advice of their actuaries and cancel the unfunded past service credits to the extent necessary to preserve the financial integrity of the Fund.11 The trustees' determination that they have the authority to so act is not only supportable by a construction of the foregoing provisions but is entitled to significant weight. See Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund v. Central Transport, Inc., 472 U.S. 559, 105 S.Ct. 2833, 2839, 86 L.Ed.2d 447 (1985); Central Hardware, supra, 770 F.2d at 110. As provided in section 2 of Article IV in the Trust Agreement in this case the trustees have the power to construe the provisions of the Trust Agreement and \"any construction adopted by the Trustees in good faith shall be binding upon * * the Employers [Niagara].\" There is no evidence that the trustees have acted other than in utmost good faith.\nIn light of the fact that the trustees' actions were authorized under the Standard and Trust Agreements by which Niagara was expressly bound, Niagara's argument based upon the 1981 plan amendment is unpersuasive. We are not convinced by Niagara's argument for the additional reason that Niagara is really attempting to bring in an ERISA claim and argument over which the district court held that it had no jurisdiction, a ruling from which Niagara did not appeal. We conclude, as did the district court, that Niagara did not make a sufficient showing that the trustees breached any fiduciary duty under section 302(c)(5) to warrant the entry of summary judgment in its favor.\nb. Issues of Material Fact\nNiagara next argues that the district court erred in granting summary judgment to the Fund because genuine issues of material fact remain concerning the accuracy of Segal's calculations, whether the unfunded liabilities threatened the Fund's financial integrity, and related issues.12 Niagara claims that material factual issues exist on the present record and that the affidavit of Niagara's actuary, Allen Lund, which was filed with Niagara's motion for reconsideration, creates factual issues warranting a trial.\nWe disagree. This court's review under section 302 is limited. We must determine whether there is any genuine factual conflict on the question of the arbitrary and capricious nature of the actions of the Fund. See ante at p. 746. In this context that means we must consider whether it was arbitrary and capricious for the trustees to have acted on the basis of Segal's calculations. There may be unresolved issues of fact concerning the figures in the actuarial calculation itself, but even if they were resolved in Niagara's favor, it would not affect the trustees' ultimate decision. Therefore, they are not issues of material fact. See, e.g., Lawrence, supra, 780 F.2d at 1324.\nQuite simply, Niagara's contentions and the Lund affidavit do not raise a material issue of fact as to the arbitrary and capricious nature of the trustees' decision. Further, on the issue of the arbitrary or capricious nature of the trustees' action, there is evidence in the record to support their decision. See Lawrence, supra, 780 F.2d at 1323. It is undisputed that the eight years of Niagara's contributions did not fund all of the past service credits. It is also undisputed that Niagara anticipated the possibility of the cancellation of unfunded benefits when it withdrew and separately contracted with its employees to provide any benefits that were cancelled by the Fund following Niagara's withdrawal. Further, it is not disputed that the trustees acted reasonably in seeking the advice of its actuary, Segal, and that Segal recommended to the trustees that they cancel the unfunded past service credits to prevent the Fund from being actuarially unbalanced. Thus, the trustee had a reasonable actuarial basis to believe cancellation was necessary to avoid the dumping of substantial unfunded liability, and to the extent that cancellation is necessary to avoid such dumping, it is presumptively reasonable. Stewart v. National Shopmen Pension Fund, 730 F.2d 1552, 1566 (D.C.Cir.), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 834, 105 S.Ct. 127, 83 L.Ed.2d 68 (1984).\nB. Leave to Amend\nLastly, Niagara argues that the district court erred in denying leave to amend for the purpose of adding a section 301(a) of LMRA (breach of contract) claim. After the district court granted summary judgment to the Fund, Niagara filed a motion to reconsider and a motion for leave to amend the claim. The essence of Niagara's section 301(a) claim, as argued on appeal, is that the 1981 amendment constituted a breach of contract, namely the plan's Rules and Regulations. The district court denied leave stating that the amended claim would be futile because Niagara lacked standing in that it was not a party to the Rules and Regulations and because the legal basis for the claims was \"questionable\". December Order, supra, 603 F.Supp. at 1429. For reversal Niagara contends that FED.R.CIV.P. 15(a) provides that leave to amend \"shall be freely given when justice so requires,\" and that the merits of a claim may not serve as a basis for denying leave to amend unless the claim is clearly frivolous.\nThe district court's denial of Niagara's motion for leave to amend was proper. Niagara did not file its motion until after the district court ruled on the summary judgment and dismissed Niagara's complaint. Although a pretrial motion for leave to amend one's complaint is to be liberally granted, different considerations apply to motions filed after dismissal. Dorn v. State Bank of Stella, 767 F.2d 442, 443 (8th Cir.1985). After a complaint is dismissed, the right to amend under FED.R.CIV.P. 15(a) terminates, but a party like Niagara may still file a motion for leave to amend. Id.\nThe decision as to whether to grant leave to amend is entrusted to the sound discretion of the district court, and the exercise of that discretion will be reversed only when it has been abused. Holloway v. Dobbs, 715 F.2d 390, 392 (8th Cir.1983). We have carefully considered Niagara's arguments in support of its motion and conclude that the district court was justified in denying leave to amend because Niagara's complaint, as amended, would have been futile. Its argument based upon section 301(a) is a variation of its argument based upon section 302(c)(5) and is equally unpersuasive. Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion in denying leave to amend.\nIII. CONCLUSION\nAccordingly, because Niagara did not establish its entitlement to partial summary judgment on its section 302(c)(5) claim as a matter of law, or raise any genuine issue of material fact on the question of whether the trustees acted in an arbitrary or capricious manner, or demonstrate that the district court abused its discretion in denying leave to amend its complaint after dismissal, we affirm the judgment of the district court.\nThe Fund distinguishes between two types of credits accruing to plan participants: past service credits and future service credits. Past service credits are credits based on service prior to the time when the participant's employer commences contributions to a plan, and future service credits are credits based on service after the employer starts making such contributions. Future service credits were not affected by the Fund's action, nor were the pensions of all Niagara employees who were on pension by April 1, 1982. Further, the Fund continued to count past service for vesting purposes, though not for purposes of determining the amount of benefits due\nSection 302(c) of the LMRA provides in relevant part:\nThe provisions of this section [forbidding transfers between employer and representatives of employees] * * *. 29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(c).\nSection 301(a)).\nSection 302(e) provides: chapter 6 of this title. 29 U.S.C. Sec. 186(e).\nIn the United Mine Workers Health & Retirement Funds v. Robinson, 455 U.S. 562, 102 S.Ct. 1226, 71 L.Ed.2d 419 (1982), the Supreme Court held that federal courts may not review for reasonableness under section 302(c)(5) the provisions of a collective-bargaining agreement allocating health benefits among potential beneficiaries of an employee benefit trust fund. Id. at 570, 102 S.Ct. at 1231. However, we agree with the other circuits that have held that Robinson is limited to cases in which eligibility and coverage requirements are established by collective bargaining and that cases involving situations where trustees maintain independent rulemaking power on questions of eligibility and coverage, like this one, are subject to an arbitrary and capricious standard of review. See, e.g., Murn v. United Mine Workers of America 1950 Pension Trust, 718 F.2d 359, 361 (10th Cir.1983); Sellers v. O'Connell, 701 F.2d 575, 577 (6th Cir.1983); see also Stewart v. National Shopmen Pension Fund, 795 F.2d 649, 651 (D.C.Cir.1986). The district court's reliance on Robinson was therefore misplaced, but not grounds for reversal in light of its alternate, express holding that the trustees did not act arbitrarily or capriciously\nOur comprehension of the merits of Niagara's arguments has been made more difficult by Niagara's shift in focus during the course of these proceedings and its persistence in trying to inject claims under ERISA, when it did not appeal from the district court's 1983 order dismissing its ERISA claims\nAlthough this argument surfaced in Niagara's motion for reconsideration of its section 302(c)(5) claim, for purposes of this opinion it will be considered in our discussion on the merits of the section 302(c)(5) claim\nIn 1977 when Niagara withdrew its nonunion employees from the Fund, Niagara paid the Fund additional money to prevent the cancellation of certain unfunded benefits\nThe trustees' concern for assuring the financial integrity of the pension plan has been deemed a \"proper and weighty\" concern by the Supreme Court. Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund v. Central Transport, Inc., 105 S.Ct. 2833, 2842, 86 L.Ed.2d 447 (1985)\nIn a related argument Niagara contends the district court abused its discretion in granting summary judgment because the Fund allegedly withheld discovery of facts pertinent to the summary judgment decision. The district court expressly held that the dispositive facts were available to Niagara at the time of the summary judgment motion, that no further discovery was needed, and that the Fund's actions did not constitute an abuse of the discovery process. December Order, supra, 603 F.Supp. at 1426 n. 5. These findings are not clearly erroneous and the district court did not abuse its discretion by granting summary judgment to the Fund"}
{"text": "Abstract\nBackground\nMHC class II transactivator CIITA inhibits the function of HTLV-2 Tax-2 viral transactivator and, consequently, the replication of the virus in infected cells. Moreover overexpression of the nuclear factor NF-YB, that cooperates with CIITA for the expression of MHC class II genes, results also in inhibition of Tax-2 transactivation. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the cellular and molecular basis of the CIITA-mediated inhibition on Tax-2, and the relative role of NF-YB in this phenomenon.\nMethods\nBy co-immunoprecipitation of lysates from 293T cells cotransfected with CIITA or fragments of it, and Tax-2 it was assessed whether the two factors interact in vivo. A similar approach was used to assess Tax-2-NF-YB interaction. In parallel, deletion fragments of CIITA were tested for the inhibition of Tax-2-dependent HTLV-2 LTR-luciferase transactivation. Subcellular localization of CIITA and Tax-2 was investigated by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.\nResults\nCIITA and Tax-2 interact in vivo through at least two independent regions, at the 1-252 N-term and at the 410-1130 C-term, respectively. Interestingly only the 1-252 N-term region mediates Tax-2 functional inhibition. CIITA and Tax-2 are localized both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, when separately expressed. Instead, when coexpressed, most of Tax-2 colocalize with CIITA in cytoplasm and around the nuclear membrane. The Tax-2 minor remaining nuclear portion also co-localizes with CIITA. Interestingly, when CIITA nucleus-cytoplasm shuttling is blocked by leptomycin B treatment, most of the Tax-2 molecules are also blocked and co-localize with CIITA in the nucleus, suggesting that CIITA-Tax-2 binding does not preclude Tax-2 entry into the nucleus.\nFinally, the nuclear factor NF-YB, also strongly binds to Tax-2. Notably, although endogenous NF-YB does not inhibit Tax-2-dependent HTLV-2 LTR transactivation, it still binds to Tax-2, and in presence of CIITA, this binding seems to increase.\nConclusions\nThese results strongly suggest that CIITA inhibit Tax-2 by binding the viral transactivator both directly or through a tripartite interaction with NF-YB in. CIITA is therefore a viral restriction factor for HTLV-2 and this open the possibility to control HTLV-2 viral replication and spreading by the controlled induction of CIITA in infected cells\nBackground\nHTLV-1 (Human T cell Lymphotropic Virus type 1) and HTLV-2 (Human T cell Lymphotropic virus type 2) are closely related human retroviruses that belong to deltaviridae family, subfamily oncovirus type C, characterized by similar genomic organization and common modes of transmission but different disease manifestations [1]. It is estimated that about 15-20 millions of people live with HTLV infection worldwide [2]. HTLV-1 infection is endemic in Japan, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean basin. HTLV-2 infection is highly concentrated in Central and West Africa, in native Amerindian populations in North, Central, and South America, and among cohorts of intravenous drug users (IVDUs) in the United States and Europe [3]. HTLVs are transmitted sexually, by breast feeding or by blood transfusions [4].\nHTLV-1 and HTLV-2 show a differential cellular tropism. HTLV-1 has a preferential tropism for CD4+ T cells [5] while HTLV-2 preferentially infects CD8+ T cells, although this restriction is not absolute, as both viruses may also infect B cells, monocytes, microglial and endothelial cells, at least in vitro [6-8]. HTLV-1 is the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and of the tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM) [9-12]. Conversely, no clear association to specific diseases has been described for HTLV-2 infection [1].\nThe basis of HTLV mediated cellular transformation is not completely understood, but it involves the viral transactivator protein Tax. Tax is essential for HTLV-1- and HTLV-2-mediated immortalization of primary human T cells [13,14] and for tumors induction in transgenic mice [15,16]. The precise mechanism by which Tax initiates the malignant process is unclear, but it seems to involve the de-regulation of several steps both at transcriptional and post-transcriptional level [17]. Tax activates transcription of many cellular genes, including interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-2Ra [18,19] and affects critical signal transduction pathways regulating cell cycle, cell growth, DNA repair and apoptosis [20]. Many evidences indicate that the transcriptional activation of cellular genes is mediated by Tax-dependent activation of transcriptional factors, such as CREB/ATF, NF-kB and SRF (Serum Responsive Factor). As Tax plays such an important role in gene expression and pathogenesis of HTLV viruses, numerous studies have been directed toward the understanding of the mechanism of Tax transactivation.\nWe reported that Tax-2 transactivation of the HTLV-2 LTR is strongly inhibited by the host transcription factor CIITA. As a consequence, susceptible T and B human cells do not support HTLV-2 replication when expressing CIITA [21,22]. Similarly, CIITA targets the viral transactivator Tat to inhibit the replication of the HIV-1 virus [23,24].\nThe AIR-1 locus-encoded class II transactivator CIITA is the master regulator of the expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHC-II) genes [25-27]. MHC-II-encoded molecules play a key role in the homeostasis of the immune system. They present peptides to the antigen receptor of CD4+ T cells (TH), whose activation is required to trigger and modulate both humoral and cellular immune responses [28]. CIITA is a non-DNA-binding transcriptional integrator recruited to MHC-II promoters via multiple interactions with transcription factors bound to DNA, including the RFX and the NF-Y complexes [29-34]. It interacts with CBP, p300, PCAF as well as the cyclin T1 subunit of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) to enhance MHC-II gene transcription [35-38]. P-TEFb is also used by Tat to promote the elongation of HIV-1 viral transcripts [39] and we have shown that sequestration of cyclin T1 is the major mechanism by which CIITA blocks the transactivating function of Tat [23]. On the contrary, the molecular basis of the CIITA-mediated inhibition of Tax-2 is still not completely understood. Previous investigations have established that the CIITA 1-321 N-terminal region, with an exclusive nuclear distribution, inhibits Tax-2 function and viral replication. We identified CBP and p300 as crucial factors for the Tax-2-directed LTR transactivation. However, they are not involved in CIITA-mediated inhibition of Tax-2. Instead the overexpression of the ubiquitous transcription factor NF-YB, that interacts with CIITA in the MHC class II enhanceosome, was found to inhibit Tax-2 transactivating function [21].\nIn this paper we have investigated the intimate molecular nature of the CIITA mediated inhibition of Tax-2. We found that both CIITA and NF-Y interact in vivo with Tax-2. We identified both an N-terminal and a C-terminal region of CIITA interacting with the viral transactivator, although, as stated above, only the N-terminal region is involved in the inhibition of Tax-2 function. Interestingly, in absence of CIITA, endogenous NF-YB can still bind to Tax-2, although, as we have previously shown, this interaction does not results in functional inactivation of Tax-2 on the HTLV-2 LTR promoter. CIITA-NF-YB interaction in vivo is stabilized and/or favoured by the presence of Tax-2. Thus concomitant interaction of Tax-2 with CIITA and NF-YB, most likely in the CIITA-NF-YB molecular complex, is at the basis of the functional inactivation of Tax-2 leading to the inhibition of HTLV-2 retrovirus replication. Further studies of subcellular localization unveiled the co-localization of Tax-2 and CIITA both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus, and the role of CIITA in redirecting, upon binding, Tax-2 molecules mostly in the cytoplasm.\nThese results are discussed within the present knowledge of cell host-pathogen interaction and the identification of the dual role of CIITA as modulator of adaptive immunity and restriction factor against human retroviruses.\nMethods\nPlasmids\nFull length CIITA (pcDNA3flagCIITA1-1130) and deletion mutants of it (pcDNA3flagCIITA1-252, pcDNA3flagCIITA1-321, pcDNA3flagCIITA253-1130, pcDNA3flagCIITA253-410) vectors have been described [40]. The flag tag does not affect protein expression and CIITA capacity to transactivate class II promoters. Tax-2 V5 plasmid was a gift of Prof. Bertazzoni, University of Verona, Italy. NF-YB cDNA (pcDNA3mycNF-YB) has been described [33].\nTransient transfections, Co-Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting\nHuman embryo-derived kidney cell line 293T was maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FCS and 5 mM glutamine at 37°C and 5% CO2). 293T cells were transfected with expressing constructs for the full-length Flag-CIITA or Flag-CIITA deletion fragments using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen, by Life technology, UK) following the manufactory protocol. After 24 h, cells were collected, resuspended in lysis buffer (1% NP-40, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA) supplemented with 0,1% protease inhibitor mixture (Aprotin, Bestain, E-64, Leupetin, pepstain A, Sigma Aldrich Italia SRL, Milan, Italy) for 45 min on ice and centrifuged for 15 min, 14.000 rpm at 4°C. After preclearing the extracts with 10 μl of 100% mouse Protein A Sepharose 4 fast flow beads (Amersham Pharmacia, Milan, Italy) for 30 minutes at 4°C by rotation, 0.5 μl of anti-V5 antibody (Invitrogen) were added and the mixture incubated for 1 hour on ice and then reacted with 50 μl of Protein A Sepharose 4 fast flow overnight at 4°C by rotation. Alternatively cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with 50 μl of anti-Flag M2 Affinity Gel (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). An aliquot corresponding to 12% of the total cell extract was conserved for proteins expression detection (input). Immunocomplexes were collected by centrifugation, washed five times with the above lysis buffer and once with the lysis buffer containing 500 mM NaCl. The immunocomplexes were detected after SDS-PAGE and Western blotting as described [23] with either the anti-c-Myc antibody (9E10 monoclonal antibody, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), the anti-Flag M2 or anti-CIITA 7-1H monoclonal antibodies (Sigma Aldrich), or the anti-NFYB polyclonal rabbit antiserum (Santa Cruz), followed by an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse Ig secondary antibody (Amersham Pharmacia, Milan, Italy). To detect Tax-2 V5 protein we used the anti-V5 antibody directly conjugated with HRP (anti-V5-HRP antibody, Sigma Aldrich). Blots were developed by chemiluminescence assay (ECL, Amersham Pharmacia).\nImmunofluorescence staining\nHuman 293T cells were seeded on glass coverslips and transiently transfected with 1.5 μg of the indicated expression vectors with Lipofectamine (Invitrogen). 24 h post-tranfection the cells were fixed by incubation with 100% methanol at -20 for 6 min. The cells were washed with PBS and blocked for 1 h in PBS containing 0.5% gelatin (Biorad) and 0.5% bovine serum albumine (Sigma), before overnight incubation at 4°C with monoclonal V5 antibodies (Invitrogen) diluited 1:750 in the blocking solution. Goat anti-mouse IgG2a Fab conjugated to Alexa Fluor 546 (Molecular Probes) was used as secondary antibody. Samples were then mounted in Fluor Save reagent (Calbiochem) and analyzed with a laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica) using a 63 × objective and light source wavelengths of 488 and 543 nm.\nResults\nCIITA interacts with Tax-2 in vivo\nIn order to verify whether CIITA-mediated inhibition of Tax-2 could correlate with a direct binding between the two factors, flag-tagged CIITA and V5-tagged Tax-2 were transiently co-expressed in 293T cells. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with the anti-V5 antibody and immunocomplexes were examined for the presence of flagCIITA by anti-Flag western blotting. Results clearly indicate that CIITA and Tax-2 strongly interact each other in vivo (Figure 1, top panel, lane 5)\nFigure 1. CIITA interacts with Tax-2 in vivo. 293T cells were transiently co-transfected with either one of the following CIITA\nplasmids pcfCIITA wt (3 μg), pcfCIITA 1-252 (3 μg), pcfCIITA 253-1130 (3 μg), pcfCIITA\n253-410 (3 μg), pcfCIITA 1-321(1.5 μg) and pTax-2 V5 (2 μg) vector. Extracts were\nimmunoprecipitated (IP) with the anti-V5 monoclonal antibody and the purified complexes\nwere immunoblotted (WB) with the anti-Flag antibody for the detection of CIITA and\nits deletion fragments (top panels). The expression of the proteins in all cell extracts\nwas also examined by WB (input) with the anti-Flag antibody. TFIIB was used as a control\nto show that equal amounts of total protein were loaded in each lane (bottom panels).\nTo be noted, the input expression of the CIITA fragment 1-252 was evaluated in a different\nwestern blot gel as underlined by the lines in lane 2. IgH, non specific band representing\nthe immunoglobulin heavy chain of the anti-V5 antibody recognized in western blots\nafter immunoprecipitation and detection with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse\nIg secondary antibody.\nTo define the region(s) of CIITA mediating the interaction with the viral transactivator, several truncated forms of CIITA were tested for their ability to bind Tax-2 by co-immunoprecipitation assay in 293T cells. When either CIITA full length or CIITA fragments were expressed in absence of Tax-2 no specific bands were detected. A non specific band of 55 kD was present in all immunoprecipitates (Figure 1A, top panel, lanes 1-8).\nThe N-term fragment fCIITA 1-252 interacted strongly with Tax-2 (Figure 1, top panel, lane 6). Interestingly, also the complementary C-term fragment 253-1130 interacted with Tax-2 (Figure 1A, top panel, lane 7). An overlapping N-term fragment fCIITA 253-410, although well expressed after transfection, (Figure 1A, lower panel input, lane 8) only slightly interacted with Tax-2 (Figure 1A, top panel, lane 8) as compared to the fCIITA 1-252 and fCIITA 253-1130 fragments. These results indicate a complex pattern of interaction between CIITA and Tax-2 with at least two regions of CIITA, encompassing the N-term1-252 and at the C-term 410-1130 of the molecule, respectively, strongly interacting with the viral transactivator, although we cannot exclude that residues included in the 253-410 region, themselves very weakly interacting with Tax2, may participate in generating the correct conformation for the critical binding site of the strongly interacting 253-1130 CIITA fragment.\nThe CIITA N-term 1-252, but not the C-term 253-1130, region inhibits Tax-2 transactivating activity in 293T cells\nIt has been previously shown that the N-terminal region of CIITA mediates the inhibition of Tax-2-\ndependent HTLV-2 LTR transactrivation in COS-7 cells [21,22]. As the interaction studies described here were performed instead in human 293T cells, and at least two regions were shown to interact with Tax-2, it was important to assess the pattern of CIITA-mediated inhibition of Tax-2 function in these cells, representative of the species naturally infected by HTLV-2\nTo this end cells were co-transfected with a fixed amount of the Tax-2 expression vector (pTax-2 V5) and increasing amounts of plasmids encoding CIITA wild type (pfCIITA 1-1130), N-term (pfCIITA 1-252, or pfCIITA 1-321) or C-term (pf253-1130) fragments, respectively. It must be noted that in this assay 10 fold less DNA was transfected into the cells as compared to the interaction mapping of Figure 1.\nResults show that Tax-2-mediated activation of the viral LTR promoter (Figure 2A, bar 3) was significantly inhibited by CIITA wild type (Figure 2A, bars 4 and 5) and the N-term 1-252 and 1-321 CIITA fragments (Figure 2A, bars 6-7 and 10-11, respectively) in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the C-term 253-1130 fragment (bars 8-9) exerted only a modest inhibition on Tax-2 activity. CIITA wt expression vector did not significantly affect basal promoter activity (Figure 2A, bar 2; Figure 2B).\nFigure 2. The CIITA N-term 1-252, but not the C-term 253-1130, region inhibits Tax-2 transactivating\nactivity in 293T cells. A)- Luciferase gene reporter assay performed in 293T cells transiently co-transfected\nwith fixed amounts (0.2 μg) of pLTR-II-Luc and pcTax-2 V5.(0.05 μg) vectors and in\nthe absence or presence of increasing amounts (0.5-1 μg) of vectors coding for Flag-tagged\nCIITA wt (pfCIITA 1-1130) and fragments (pfCIITA 1-252 and pfCIITA 253-1130). Lower\namounts of vector coding for flagCIITA 1-321 fragment (0.25-0.5 μg) were transfected.\nThe black histogram represents the LTR-2 promoter activation by Tax-2 (bar 3). Bar\n1 represents the control activity of the pcDNA3 vector alone. B)- CIITA did not affect\nbasal promoter activity even after transfection of increasing amounts of CIITA plasmid.\nThe expression of recombinant fCIITA proteins in all cell extracts were detected by\nanti-Flag Western blot (WB) (bottom panel).\nThus, also in 293T cells CIITA-dependent inhibition of Tax-2 function correlates with the N-term 1-252 region of CIITA. Furthermore, these results strongly suggest that interaction between the N-terminal, but not the C-terminal, part of CIITA, and Tax-2 is responsible of the biological effect of CIITA on the viral transactivator.\nTax-2 and NF-YB interact in vivo\nPrevious results from our laboratory have shown that the ubiquitously expressed nuclear transcription factor NF-YB, which interacts and co-operates with CIITA in activating HLA-II genes transcription, could inhibit the HTLV-2 LTR promoter transactivation by Tax-2 in COS-7 cells when over-expressed after transfection [22]. Similar experiments performed in 293T cells resulted in comparable findings (data not shown).\nIn order to investigate whether NF-YB could also interact with Tax-2 in vivo we performed initially co-immunoprecipation experiments by using lysates of 293T cells co-transfected with myc-tagged NF-YB (mNFYB) and V5-tagged Tax-2. Results presented in Figure 3A show that Tax-2 interacts with NF-YB not only in the presence of co-transfected CIITA (Figure 3A, αV5 IP, αflag WB, lane 2), but also in the absence of CIITA (Figure 3A, αV5 IP, αmyc WB, lane 1). Experiments were then carried out to assess whether endogenous NF-YB could interact in vivo with Tax-2. Although with the limitations of the relatively low expression of the endogenous NF-YB protein with respect to the protein expressed after transient transfection, the interaction of NF-YB with Tax-2 was observed also in this case (Figure 3B, αV5 IP, αNFYB WB, lane 2). Interestingly, in the presence of co-transfected CIITA, the amount of co-immunoprecipitated endogenous NF-YB with Tax-2 was clearly increased (Figure 3B, αV5 IP, αflag WB, lane 3). Taken together, these results indicate that NF-YB interacts with Tax-2 and this interaction can be increased and/or stabilized by the concomitant interaction with CIITA, leading to functional impairment of Tax-2 function.\nFigure 3. Tax-2 and NF-YB interact in vivo. Panel A- 293T cells were transiently co-transfected with pcMycNF-YB (2 ug), pcTax-2\nV5 (4 ug) and pcfCIITA (3 ug) vectors. Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated (IP)\nwith the anti-V5 monoclonal antibody and the purified complexes were immunoblotted\n(WB) with the indicated antibodies for the detection of NFYB and CIITA. The expression\nof the proteins in whole cell extracts was also examined by WB (input) with antibodies\ndirected against myc, Flag and V5. Panel B. 293T cells were transiently transfected\nwith pcTax-2 V5 (4 ug), pcfCIITA (3 ug) and/or the empty vector pcDNA and immunoprecipitated\nas in A. The purified immunocomplexes were immunoblotted with the anti-NFYB and the\nanti-Flag antibodies for the detection of the endogenous NFYB and of CIITA, respectively.\nThe expression of the proteins in whole cell extracts was also examined by WB (input)\nwith antibodies directed against NFYB, Flag and V5.\nSubcellular distribution of Tax-2 in presence of CIITA\nIn order to obtain a deeper insight into the mechanism of CIITA-mediated inhibition on Tax-2 function, the subcellular distribution of Tax-2 molecules was analyzed in the presence and in the absence of CIITA.\nIn the absence of CIITA, Tax-2 localizes both and in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus of 293T cells often with a punctuated aspect (Figure 4A, panel b). Similarly, CIITA in the absence of Tax-2, localized in both compartments, with a predominant nuclear distribution and in more diffused aspect as compared to the punctuated Tax-2 distribution (Figure 4A, panel a).\nFigure 4. CIITA affects Tax-2 subcellular localization. 293T cells were transiently transfected with the indicated vectors (GFPCIITA, Tax2-V5).\nEighteen hours post transfection, cells were treated (B) or not (A) with leptomycin\nB (20 nm) for 3 hours. Cells were then washed, fixed, and stained with anti-V5 IgG2a\nmonoclonal antibody for the detection of V5-tagged Tax proteins (Ab, Ad, Bb, Bd).\nGFPCIITA positive cells are shown in Aa, Ac, Ba, Bc. Merged images are shown in Ae,\nBe. The images were analyzed by a laser scanning confocal microscope.\nIn the presence of CIITA, Tax-2 is predominantly accumulated in the cytoplasm and with a marked staining around the nuclear membrane where it formed a ring-like structure (Figure 4A, panel d). Interestingly, an overlapping co-localization of Tax-2 and CIITA was observed in the cytoplasm as well as in perinuclear ring (Figure 4A, panel e).\nCIITA contains both nuclear import (NIS) and nuclear export (NES) signals that allow the molecule to shuttle between cytoplasm and nucleus. CIITA NES are CRM-1 dependent, as treatment of CIITA-positive cells with the CRM-1 inhibitor leptomycin B (LMB) relocalizes CIITA mostly within the nucleus [41,42]. HTLV-2 Tax-2 protein also contain NIS and most likely NES although the latter have been demonstrated not to be CRM-1-dependent in HeLa cells [43]. It was therefore important to assess whether Tax-2 subcellular distribution in 293T cells could be modified by LMB treatment in presence or in absence of CIITA. The results presented in Figure 4B show that LMB treated CIITA-transfected cells displayed, as expected, an exclusive CIITA nuclear localization (Figure 4B, panel a). On the other hand, LMB-treated Tax-2 transfected cells displayed a cytoplasmatic and nuclear distribution very similar to that of untreated cells (Figure 4B, panel b). In CIITA and Tax-2 co-transfected cells treated with LMB, again CIITA was exclusively in the nucleus (Figure 4B, panel c). Interestingly, in this case Tax-2 was also predominantly localized in the nucleus (Figure 4B panel d) and a strong nuclear co-localization of the two proteins was observed (Figure 4B panel e).\nTaken together, the above subcellular localization studies indicate that the physical CIITA-Tax-2 interaction is mirrored by a strong co-localization of the two molecules in cytoplasmic and nuclear subcellular compartments. Moreover and of particular importance, interaction with CIITA makes Tax-2 molecules prone to migrate to cytoplasm where they can no longer exert their transactivating function on the HTLV-2 LTR.\nDiscussion\nHost-pathogen interaction is regulated by a series of cellular and molecular mechanisms whose outcome dictates in many instances the subtle equilibrium between control of infection and pathological consequences for the host. This is particular relevant for pathogens like human oncogenic retroviruses such as HTLVs whose infectivity can generate, as clearly demonstrated for HTLV-1, not only severe infections but also neoplastic transformation [17]. It is therefore important to investigate possible molecular interactions between host-derived and virus-derived factors as a necessary framework to understand the evolution of infection. Previous investigation from our laboratory has demonstrated that the MHC class II transactivator CIITA could block the replication of the human HTLV-2 retrovirus by inhibiting the function of the viral transactivator protein Tax-2 [21,22]. However the biochemical basis of the CIITA-mediated inhibition on Tax-2 function was not clarified. In the present investigation we focused our analysis on this specific aspect, trying to understand whether CIITA-mediated inhibition requires a physical interaction between the cellular protein and the viral transactivator. Moreover, as the transcription factor NF-YB, whose interaction with CIITA is necessary for MHC class II gene transcription, was also shown to inhibit Tax-2 when overexpressed in COS-7 cells, we investigated whether NF-YB and Tax-2 physically interacted in vivo.\nWe demonstrated for the first time the existence of in vivo interaction between CIITA and Tax-2. (Figure 1) and shown that this interaction is quite complex as it involves at least two region of the CIITA molecule located at the 1-252 N-terminal and mostly at the 410-1130 C-terminal site. Interestingly, however, and in similarity to the results obtained in COS-7 cells [22], only the N-terminal CIITA region was able to functionally inhibit Tax-2 dependent HTLV-2 LTR transactivation in 293T cells. It is of note that the N-terminal region of CIITA is the one that mostly interacts with nuclear factors that bind the MHC class II gene promoter region, including general transcription factors regulating initiation of transcription, chromatin modulating factors and NF-YB subunit of the NF-Y trimeric complex [34]. It is therefore of particular relevance the finding presented here that also the previously reported inhibition of Tax-2-mediated LTR transactivation by overexpression of NF-YB, correlated with a strong binding in vivo between Tax-2 and NF-YB. In fact, and again for the first time, we demonstrated in this investigation that both transfected, thus overexpressed, and endogenous NF-YB could interact with the viral transactivator. Whether this is a direct interaction or requires a third partner is presently under scrutiny. Moreover the binding of endogenous NF-YB with Tax-2 molecules was increased by the presence of CIITA, strongly suggesting that at least a trimeric NF-YB-CIITA-Tax-2 complex is formed in vivo, in the nucleus and this could be a mechanism preventing Tax-2 from correctly transactivate HTLV-2 LTR and thus viral replication. It remains to be established whether the binding of the viral transactivator with CIITA and NF-YB, prevents Tax-2 from interacting with its own promoter or the Tax-2 -LTR promoter complex is formed but is functionally inhibited by a mechanism of steric hindrance.\nAlthough the Tax-2-dependent HTLV-2 LTR transactivation takes place in the nucleus, it is still possible that additional mechanisms of CIITA-mediated inhibition of Tax-2 function operate outside the nucleus. For this reason, experiments of subcellular Tax-2 localization in the presence of CIITA were performed by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. In the absence of CIITA, Tax-2 localized both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus in the great majority of the cells. These results obtained in 293T cells are only partially similar to those obtained by other groups, using other cellular systems, as for example both in HeLa and in HEP-2 cells Tax-2 was mostly localized in the cytoplasm [44,45]. This discrepancy could be due to the biological properties of the different cell lines analyzed [46]. In the presence of CIITA, the amount of cytoplasmic Tax-2 was visibly increased and the viral transactivator strongly co-localized with CIITA diffusely in the cytoplasm and around the nuclear membrane in a ring-like fashion. While the ring-like distribution has been previously observed for Tax2 colocalizing with calreticulin in a different cell system [45], no description of such a localization for CIITA has been previously reported. Thus, it is likely that Tax2-CIITA interaction generates either by itself or, most likely, via the interaction with other proteins the perinuclear ring-like distribution observed, whose biochemical and functional meaning remains to be elucidated. Interestingly, although reduced in concentration, also the nuclear Tax-2 co-localized with CIITA. Thus, interaction with CIITA makes Tax-2 more prone to segregate into the cytoplasm. Is this a mechanism to prevent Tax-2 from migrating into the nucleus and thus exerting its transactivating function on the HTLV-2 promoter? Two experimental evidences were against this possibility. First, Tax-2 can bind NF-YB which displays a predominant, if not exclusive, nuclear distribution [47]. Second, treatment of the cells with leptomycin B (LMB) which prevents CRM-1-dependent nuclear export resulted in a very prominent CIITA and Tax-2 retention and co-localization in the nucleus. These results strongly suggest that CIITA-Tax-2 complexes, wherever they form, shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm where they preferentially accumulate, and it is the formation of the complex, and not the subcellular localization that makes Tax-2 functionally incompetent in activating the HTLV-2 LTR promoter. Within this frame the relative contribution of Tax-2-endogenous NF-YB in vivo interaction to the functional impairment of Tax-2 is difficult to assess, because NF-YB is an ubiquitous factor and only part of the nuclear Tax-2 molecules are bound by this factor, as demonstrated by the fact that in presence of CIITA a proportion of nuclear Tax-2 molecules can shuttle to the cytoplasm. At the present NF-YB knock-out cells are not available to study specifically the above aspect. Future experiments, possibly by using siRNA technology, will help to clarify this issue.\nConclusions\nThe direct interaction of CIITA with Tax-2, a crucial regulator of human oncogenic retrovirus replication, opens new ways for understanding the peculiar mechanisms by which CIITA has evolved its dual function to counteract pathogens' infections. From one side, CIITA triggers the molecular events leading to transcription of MHC class II genes, whose encoded molecules serve as antigen presenting receptors for peptides from all sort of pathogens, including viruses. In so doing CIITA governs the CD4+ T cell triggering leading to optimal activation of immune effector mechanisms, particularly specific antibody production by B cells. Antibody binding is a crucial event for neutralization of extracellular viruses which cannot infect host cells and are driven to degradation. From the other side, the newly acquired function of CIITA as a molecule that directly binds HTLV-2 Tax-2, and physically neutralizes its activating function on viral replication, represents a potent mechanism of intrinsic immunity. Together with previous results of our group demonstrating the inhibition of HIV-1 retrovirus replication by CIITA [23], the results presented in this study definitively identifies CIITA as an important viral restriction factor for human retroviruses. The results of this study may contribute to envisage novel therapeutic strategies aimed at counteracting retroviral infections through the control of CIITA expression and/or the selective use of CIITA fragments.\nCompeting interests\nThe authors declare that they have no competing interests.\nAuthors' contributions\nCO carried out the biochemical studies, immunoassays, participated in the discussion of results and drafted the manuscript.

{"text": "Amsterdam – 14 day cruise June 29th to July 13th,2012. We did stay in Seattle for a few days before and stayed at the Inn at the Market, excellent little hotel.\nThe ship is quite nice and I like the feel of a smaller ship. I do like the decor of the Amsterdam over the Zuiderdam. But at the end of the day I’m all about the destination, not the ship or company. It was the itinerary that I wanted and almost cancelled this cruise at Christmas time as we already did Alaska (our first cruise).\nUnlimited laundry, we used this service and it was excellent. We sent out laundry almost every day and it came back the same day. Even when I was late getting it out and didn’t expect to get it until the next day, it arrived. I definitely could have packed a lot less than what I did.\nSoda card, I wouldn’t buy one again. We do like the cans and we aren’t big soda drinkers, but thought the 14 days we would make use of it.\nInternet – bought 100 minutes and I actually think the service has improved. It didn’t feel like it took that long to load compared to when I used it on the Zuiderdam, but it is still slow.\nDining – we had open seating, and only made it down to the dining room three times. We just found with our shore excursions we would had to the Terrace Grill when we got back and weren’t too hungry for dinner. Food is fine in the Lido, just I wasn’t eating as much for the last half of the cruise as I experienced seasickness and the food felt heavy in my stomach.\nRoom 7056 and the secret deck is not so secret anymore. The aft deck is quite literally five steps out your door. It's used as a smoking deck, so we ended up using the promenade deck more than this deck. If you are a smoker, it would be idea for you. A lot of noise from the doors slamming is a problem for this room. The value for your dollar is not worth it on this room as it's very small and you are rated as a DD category and I'm pretty sure my deck in my yard has more space than this room.\nThis room is very small and cramped and is okay for short cruises. I wouldn't want to be stuck in here any longer than this two week cruise. Even at the two weeks, I felt hubby and I were stepping over each other. As the days went on with this cruise, I really think this room is more suited to a single traveler. With that said they did maximize the use of the space. We intended to use the unlimited laundry, and had just enough storage space. If you were on a longer cruise and had lots of clothes, then you might have a problem. Shower only, which is okay for me and hubby. Bathroom is very compact but again worked for us. One step up into the bathroom and then about a three inch lip to step into the shower.\nLights from the back deck do light up the room a bit, but I found that okay, as it gave enough light to see in the night if you had to get up. But if you don't like lights, it may not be the room for you, as the curtain does sway so the light might bother you. Also early in the morning the back deck is hosed down and cleaned off (usually around 5-5:30), which we noticed the noise. Again we are early risers so it didn't bother us for the most part.\nOne more thing I would recommend. Bring your own bottle opener if you have beer sent up to your room. There is one here, but it's on the bathroom wall next to the toilet. I personally was not comfortable using it.\nExcursions we are were a combination of private and HAL tours. I would rate them as follows:\nIcy Straight Point - Misty Bay Lodge - rated number one. Well worth it and I would book this tour again. Also I think ISP is better for whale watching than Juneau.\nAnchorage - We booked the Phillips 26 Glacier tour with bus accommodations out of Whittier - excellent tour and the 10 hours flew by.\nJuneau - Orca, had a great whale watching adventure.\nKodiak - Memory Makers - great couple Kale and Kady, though the weather did not cooperate when we were there, and this impacted our photo opportunities. When they make a stop near where the eagles nest is and tell you they make great cookies, believe them. They were the size of bear paws.\nKetchican - Misty Fjords tour, expect rain in Ketchican. We did have window seats for husband and I was able to walk around.\nSitka - Sea Otter Quest and Fortress of the Bears - Fortress of the bears saved this tour, and if I ever go back, I would get a private tour or a cab to take me there as we spent a lot of money through the ship for this tour which didn't cut it for us on the Sea Otter portion.\nHomer - we winged it and decided to head to the Time Bandit store. If this is the only place off the spit you want to go, book and cab instead of spending money for a bus ride. It's about a half a mile walk to the Time Bandit from their stop. We couldn't do the spit as the walk (which was suppose to be two blocks) was too much for husband, so we headed back to the ship.\nVictoria - we disembarked in Victoria and spent the extra day there. By this time we were done with being a tourists. We did end up on Friday taking one of the water taxi tours to kill some time. Hubby was able to navigate getting on/off this little taxi's."}

{"text": "March 2019\nSmall Change, Big Results\nThe power of expressing gratitude\nby Crystal\nI just wanted to write to let you know how Susan Miller's blog post, Sharing Two Hearts, and reading her dear husband's honest perspective of moving really ministered to me. After reading it, I felt the Lord leading me to begin journaling each day about my husband's attributes and the things he does each day to bless me and our family.\nYou see, I had gotten into the rut of grumbling and complaining to my husband.\nIt's been stressful being so far away from my older daughters and grandchildren. This last year, Kevin has experienced a high level of stress in his job, and would bring it home with him at the end of the day. The more I felt overlooked, the more I nagged and pointed out his short-comings. This fills my heart with such sorrow that I allowed myself to get to that level of unChrist-like behavior with my beloved.\nAfter reading the blog earlier this month, I opened up my notebook in my phone (knowing I'd always have it with me and had no excuse to skip a day) and thought to myself, \"Surely, I can come up with at least 3 things Kevin does each day to bless me.\" Well, I wrote down 18!!!\nThen, I felt the Lord impress upon me to text this list to Kevin. Since I wake up before my husband each morning, I knew my text would be the very first thing he read when he woke up. After reading my text, he was so touched that he came downstairs and gave me the biggest hug and kiss!\nThat was Feb 5th, and I have continued this habit every single morning since then (writing down his attributes and then texting my list to him) and it is already positively impacting our marriage!\nI set my heart to focus on his good qualities and all the great things he does for our family- big and small. This change in focus to being Kevin's cheerleader causes me to be so grateful for him and has deepened my love and devotion to him. My spoken words to him now are positive and full of grace. I desire to find ways to brighten his day so that he knows that his hard work and devotion to God are seen and appreciated.\nThe change is evident in Kevin, too! He is more attentive to the kids and I and, as much as he is able, he sets work aside when he gets home so that he can be present with us. He smiles more, jokes more, and his whole countenance is much happier!!\nOne last blessing that I've just gotta share - Kevin and I take nightly walks together. Before, they were often a time where we would vent to each other, but this too has been impacted! Our walks are now a time where we do still discuss issues that we need to work out (travel plans, work schedules, family matters, etc.), yet it's also a time we use to build each other up and cheer each other on!\nIt's amazing how situations seem more easily surmounted when you both realize you're on the same team, working together knowing that God's got this!\nSusan Miller, thank you for being such a bright and shining light for Christ and for your ministry to families!\n[ If this information has been helpful, please prayerfully consider a donation to help pay the expenses for making this faith-building ministry available to you and your family!

{"text": "Before the Internet and social media channels, gaining access to the people you need to connect with required a great deal of work, time, and often times, a degree of proximity. Today, with social media, you can be anywhere in the world and connect to the people who are critical to growing your business.\nThe need for networking hasn't changed, but the tools have -- and leveraging those tools to tap into that wealth of opportunity is easier than you might realize.\nTools vs. Strategy\nWith new social media platforms emerging at an alarming rate, it can be easy to discount the social media revolution as a fad. What you need is a strategic plan -- and a platform that can help you accomplish that plan.\nHow do you know which platform is right for you? What I've found is that it's best to identify your target audience and your business goals. Are you trying to increase sales? Are you looking for strategic partners or additional qualified staff? Are you targeting consumers or do you want to connect with other businesses?\nGetting Started With Social Media\nIf I had to choose a favorite social media platform (or a great place to start networking), I would pick Twitter. I can say with certainty that Twitter is the number one tool I've used to grow my business. It's amazing how much relationship-building you can do in just 140 characters! Twitter is incredibly dynamic, allowing you to customize your experience to meet your networking goals.\nTwitter in and of itself can be overwhelming. You've got to have a plan and use it strategically to accomplish that plan. If I could give you just a few critical tips they would be:\n● Filter your Twitter stream by building lists so that you can closely follow the conversations of a small group of influencers. This allows you to interact and build closer relationships.\n● Use Twitter as a search engine. Attempting to tune into the noise of all of Twitter is like trying to look at every webpage on the Internet without using Google, Yahoo, or Bing to filter the information. Using Twitter's search feature allows you to zone in on the information that is relevant to you.\n● Respond to every retweet (RT) and person that reacts to one of your tweets. Keep the conversation going while being yourself. Your followers will appreciate a live, real human being's response -- it can be rare these days!\nOf those currently using Twitter, 34 percent of marketers say they have generated leads using the social media platform, and 20 percent have closed deals.\nTwitter Success Stories\nNo matter how much practical, theoretical information I read, I tend to learn more by reading about the successes of others who have used Twitter to network and take their careers or businesses to the next level. Here are some of my favorites:\n● Melinda Emerson built a following of 157,000 people and got onto the NY Times bestseller list because of her social media networking. She started out tweeting just three times a day -- a personal anecdote, sharing a helpful article and answering one small business owners' question. I absolutely love that she was able to see success with such a simple tactic!\n● Bryce Keane used Twitter to get to know his niche better, sharing information, and eventually landed his dream job in PR because of a single Twitter connection.\n● Stacey Ferreira landed a million dollar investment from Richard Branson with a single tweet -- and she was just out of high school.\n● Foiled Cupcakes went from zero to over 2,000 followers in less than six weeks, garnered national news coverage, and surpassed their initial revenue target numbers by over 600 percent!\nHow To Be A Twitter Success Story\nI like to create a \"wish list\" of people I'd like to know better. These are people who I'd like to work with, members of the media I'd like to connect with or even other influencers in my niche! I use these lists to follow their tweets, share their updates and generally interact with them. Over time, I've been able to form valuable business contacts -- that all started with a Twitter interaction.\nOne of the greatest tips I can share has only a little to do with Twitter or social media. Once you've tweeted back and forth with someone who would be a great contact for your business, solidify the relationship by taking it \"offline.\"\nMeet in person if you can. If that won't work, schedule a Skype video chat or Hangout on Google+. I've personally seen the benefits of this in my own business. Recently, I met with a Twitter connection face-to-face and it resulted in my speaking at a major national conference. I really believe it was meeting in person that really cemented our relationship!\nThe Key to Success on Any Social Media Platform\nAs I mentioned earlier, regardless of which modern-day social media platforms you decide to use, these are just tools to engage in the age-old act of networking. The same rules apply as they do in face-to-face networking:\n● Listen more than you talk\n● Help others solve their problems\n● Don't be a megaphone promoting your own products -- engage in discussions beyond promoting your own agenda\nTry dipping your toe into social media, and you'll quickly be drawn in and swept away by the amazing connections you'll make. I've found that the networking I've done through Twitter and Facebook has not only changed my life from a business perspective, but personally as well. Has social media made a difference in your life? I'd love to hear about it!\nSUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW\nGet top stories and blog posts emailed to me each day.

{"text": "The Chamber of Commerce moved into their new office space in the Hollingsworth Mill in the summer of 1987, leaving the Kurtz vacant and in immanent danger of demolition for a plaza around the Joint Judicial Center. (1) The first foray was a petition to City Council to incorporate the Kurtz into the plaza designs.(2) The petition did not seem to gain much traction with the Municipal Buildings Committee, so PHW shifted focus to coming up with a new and relevant use for the building.\nAs part of PHW’s strategy to save the Kurtz, the organization leased the space and did some minor cleanup and partition wall removal to help people better visualize the interior space. Countless hours of meetings with many other nonprofits and community organizations went into planning for the April 1988 deadline to present a restoration plan to City Council. The idea to save the Kurtz seemed to split the town’s sentiment’s almost evenly, as this building did not have the grandeur of the lost Conrad House or the emotional connection of Old John Kerr. Selling the preservation plan of a warehouse did not lend itself as easily to a sense of urgency and need. Even the building’s intriguing Victorian era additions, its status as the last trace of the commercial center that used to be focused on the land around Rouss City Hall, and its potential to serve as a downtown arts hub was not a draw. (3)\nKnowing that a strong understanding of the facts was vital to make the case for the building’s retention, PHW partnered with Warren Hofstra to produce oral histories focusing on the Kurtz Building.(4) (5) At the same time, PHW in turn leased the space to other organizations to show the building still had more potential years of service left in it. Perhaps the best remembered of those was the Shawnee Kennel Club, which used the space for winter training and socialization space.(6)\nEven as public opinions started to change on the Kurtz, the deadline to present to City Council drew ever nearer. We will continue this tale next week."}

PDT on the FX channel.''\nTate's family wasn't initially on board with her decision to compete in MMA, but they have become her biggest supporters.\n\"My family, they were worried,'' Tate said. ``I think my dad thought it was just a phase. He was hoping I would grow out of it. He worries for his little girl. I don't think any father enjoys seeing their daughter get into a cage with another individual who wants to beat the living daylights out of her. He really has come a long way. My parents realised it makes me happy. I think that's all parents should really want from their kids.''\nZingano shares a similar wrestling background as Tate. She played pretty much every sport growing up and was the star player and popular teammate on most of those teams. But she really identified with and became the most passionate about wrestling. Many of the boys she wrestled against throughout junior high and high school didn't like the idea of a girl competing against them.\n\"They really wanted to make me quit and they really wanted to hurt me,'' Zingano said. \"At the time I didn't really realise. There was no way anyone was going to make me quit. The only person that was ever going to make me quit was me, and that's just not in me. I don't have quit in me.''\nWomen coaches isn't the only first for TUF 18. For the first time, the UFC reality series will have male and female competitors living under the same roof competing for UFC contracts.\n\"It's a pretty wild idea,'' Tate said. \"I was pretty blown away when Dana called me and said, 'Hey, this is what's going to happen.' I was like, 'Whoa. Well, there better be a lot of birth control readily available because that could get crazy.''\nZingano was equally stunned when she heard about the new twist.\n\"People are comparing it to possibly being an MMA version of 'The Real World,''' Zingano said. ``I have no idea what that's going to turn out to be like. Having men and women in the house for that long without much to do ... they don't get magazines, they don't get to watch TV, I mean, they just have all this time to interact. Focusing on the fight is what I hope everyone is able to do and maintain the prize that's at the end of the journey.

{"text": "A STUDY in Huddersfield on how Caesarean births affect women's ability to have further children is to be published soon.\nA research team for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust is writing its findings from the recent study on how difficult births can affect women's future fertility.\nMidwife Kathy Kershaw, based at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, is part of the research team.\nMrs Kershaw said the study involved first- time mothers from the Huddersfield area whose babies were not born by a ``normal\" vaginal delivery.\nSome had Caesarean sections, while other mothers had forceps or other equipment used in the delivery.\nHalf the women who took part in the study had standard follow-up visits from midwives, 10 days and then 10 weeks after birth.\nThe rest of the women were given two ``debriefing\" sessions by specially trained midwives, to explain what happened during the birth and its effects.\nMrs Kershaw said the study was prompted by the results of a 1999 survey of 750 Huddersfield mothers who had Caesareans, forceps deliveries or complicated births.\nMrs Kershaw said: \"We asked the women in 1999 if they had had subsequent pregnancies.\n\"Women who had Caesareans and forceps births had an increased risk of voluntary or involuntary infertility. Voluntary means that women were choosing not to have further children because of their first experience.\n\"That is why we launched the second study. It will be interesting to see what effect the debriefings had.\"\nMrs Kershaw, a midwife for 17 years, said most women achieve a normal delivery without forceps or other major procedures.\nShe said Caesareans were only done in two situations - emergencies and in cases where the mother chooses it because of complications in the pregnancy.\nMrs Kershaw added: \"There are risks with a Caesarean. It is a longer stay in hospital, a longer recovery period, more chance of infection and more chance of adhesions, where your organs stick together. That can sometimes lead to infertility.\n\"But mothers who have Caesareans do go on to have other children, not always by another Caesarean.\"\nDespite the risks, Mrs Kershaw said she had not seen proof that Caesareans increased the chance of all women who have them becoming infertile.\nThis issue is being looked at in a new national study.\nResearchers from the study announced recently that women who had their first child by Caesarean were more likely to experience problems conceiving in future, compared to women who have normal vaginal deliveries."}

{"text": "Construction: In order to make the IRONMAN event unforgettable for both - athletes and spectators we need helping hands to build a start area, a finish area, race center. Volunteers are required pre and post race.\nInformation center: You will be the main contact point at the event venue. Experience nervousness and anticipation of athletes before the race. Be ready to ask and answer their questions. Guide athletes in the race are, be aware of the transition area and details related to the race. Spectators have questions - you need to help them, too. Speaking more than one language is an advantage.\nSecretariat/registration: Athlete Registration is a critical part of the race experience. This is an important position as you will be the first members of the team to meet and greet the athletes when they arrive. It is a customer-facing role and we are looking for volunteers who are friendly, approachable and like communication. It is a busy job with lots of interaction with the athletes. Your task is to register athletes and hand out all the necessary paperwork needed for the race. In addition, you will assist with athlete bag packing and will set up the secretariat during the days before the event..\nTransition area: Athletes will come to this area twice - after swimming to collect their bags of cycle gear and bikes, and again when they have completed the cycle leg to take their bags of run gear. The transition area is an extremely busy place during the race day. Volunteers are required to catch bikes from the athletes, re-organise athlete’s transition bags. There will be big amount of the participants and you need to be quick and think fast to get all the equipment organised.\nBike course: There are different roles which need to be filled - to set-up a bike course, help in the bike course aid stations or marshalling. Marshalling is one of the most important roles - ensure the course is traffic free and there is no danger for the athletes who cycle at the full speed, and at the same time guarantee safety for pedestrians and fellow volunteers.\nRun course: The last part of IRONMAN 70.3 is a half marathon and we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers. The participants need additional power on such a long day and the louder you can cheer on them the more motivation they will get. We need people in the run stations and marshals. This is the part of the race you can see athletes close by and witness how strong they mentally have to be to push themselves over the finish line.\nEnergy points: IRONMAN 70.3 distance takes a lot of energy from the athletes. You are the one who will provide athletes with the energy (snacks, drinks) they need to cross that finish line. Energy points on the run course offer perfect opportunity to get the first volunteering experience for younger and little volunteers. Bike course energy points require more skilled volunteers- puncture and quick legs are” must” to hand out energy gels and filled drinking bottles.]"}

The first chapter \"novelty\" is that you can now visit rapture in infinite's engine, but the problem is that there isn't much beyond that and it's has the same mediocre gameplay mechanics as infinite. It's also very short for a 15$ DLC and I can understand if people who bought it for full price were pissed off and avoided the second episode.\nThe second episode, however, is not superb but significantly better than the first. From a story perspective it's basically a prequel for Bioshock (the first) and I think it works well as such. It also connects the world of Rapture with Columbia.\nThe mechanics are less action and more stealth with a couple of new plasmids introduced to support that and it feels a lot like Dishonored by giving you tools for lethal and non-lethal gamplay (although it has no impact on the story or the environment).\nIt's also twice as long than the first episode and I think that by moving the first part of the second episode to the the end of the first, they would have made a far better \"teaser\" than the current boring cliffhanger.\nTurns out there was only one mission left to play in Fallout Tactics - and it turned out to be a massive two-parter with lots of robots. It took me like 3-4 hours to wade through that whole thing with an, at that point, nearly invincible squad. It even has the audacity to put a boss fight at the end which of course is as anti-climatic as it gets because Fallout doesn't do bosses well and he was certainly no Frank Horrigan either.\nThat said, Fallout Tactics is not a very good game. Pretty much none of the gameplay elements that made the first two Fallouts (and by extension, Wasteland) great are present. Most missions are extremely linear shooting galleries. The writing is simply terrible and contains some of the worst dialogue I have ever seen in a professional video game while the combat taunts are embarrassing to read. The Fallout skill system was obviously never meant for larger parties and thus kinda falls apart and so you end up with 6 nearly identical characters. The weapon balance is catastrophic with big guns making small guns pretty much obsolete from one mission to the next and then the game does the same thing with energy weapons not much later. There's some occasional hints of brilliance like the amazing Quincy mission but most of it is simply staggeringly mediocre.\nI also made plenty of screenshots so I will document some of my exploits although it's not nearly as interesting as the Fallout 2 unarmed playthrough.Old hat!

Thrust Issues: A Marvelous Guide to Fencing in Dark Souls 2\nto wound the autumnal city.\nP2 is a lot more talky but it also has twice the features the first game has and spends a lot of the game in training.\nI mean, the whole games are training rooms but portal 2 takes longer. Portal is more direct in everything: player starts in a confined place to move freely but cannot get out, a portal creates an exit that takes player back into x confined space. Portal in a nutshell. And Cubes, Cakes...it's cooler imho.post in progress\nOk, beat Dead Space 3. I liked it a lot. The end boss was easy but impressive. I got killed 2-3 times in the last chapter by what seems to be a bug, it was a bit annoying to replay the part. My only problem is that the real ending is in the DLC Awakened.\nI am not gonna buy it since it reuse the same monsters and the same areas so I just watched the cutscenes on youtube.\nNext game will probably Brothers (still stuff from my backlog, being broke is a kind of blessing) now that i fixed the bug with my controller.\nMy hard drive is making a bit of a whistling noise. I am a bit afraid that it won't survive for long. I should probably find a way to back it up.\n- Join Date\n- Mar 2012\n- 995\nStill playing mostly Borderlands 2 with my girl and Meltdown. BL2 is just...good fun, in co-op. And Meltdown is a great little weeknight game. Quick missions, fun if simple game play.\nAlso thinking I will give Abyss: Odyssey another try this week. Pretty sure they have a save and resume feature now, so you can stop when you've had enough for the night and pick up where you left off. Eager to see if that is indeed the case. Like the game itself fairly well, but loathed the lack of a save and exit feature.\nUp to 111 hours of Creeper World 3 according to Steam. And I still can't get through the Farbor mission. It's rather too different from the types of missions you've played until then and I can't really see how to finish it (unlike all the other missions up until then, it's suddenly on a very strict timer).\nOf course, there are the other several hundred missions I've unlocked, but I do find that I prefer campaigns (in pretty much all games), so it'd be nice to be able to get past Farbor.\nAlso, this game clearly has the usual leaderboards problem; some people have impossible scores, either due to hacks or glitch exploiting, and they apparently aren't cleared from the boards. That's a bit sad, and makes one of the achievements impossible to get too.\nI ended up enjoying Luftrausers a lot more than I expected, but I don't know how much more I can play it. I don't usually like free-scrolling shmups and the original Flash game didn't hold my attention, but when I got Luftrausers set up with my Saturn controller (luckily it supports DirectInput without any trouble) the flow and sheer thrill really clicked. I've done most of the missions without really focusing on score runs, but several balance issues put me off ever attempting the latter. The crux of scoring is based around maintaining maxed out combo multiplier, but the game has a nasty habit of spawning several enemies that take dozens of hits to kill and end your run fairly easily while also stopping spawns on the easily-defeated fodder that's necessary to keep your combo going while you fell these behemoths. With Vlambeer's attention on Nuclear Throne (which is excellent, by the way) and no patch in sight, it's just too frustrating to lose a combo (and likely killed soon after) because two or three battleships all spawn within firing distance of your fragile flying machine.\nMy other purchase this week, King of Fighters XIII, has occupied the rest of my attention. I've watched quite a bit of theory and systems basics (Juicebox could easily teach a class on the game), but perhaps predictably precious little of that has managed to carry over to actual gameplay. Not that it really matters, because KOFXIII is simply a blast to play. Fights are fast enough that even a crushing defeat still manages to be exhilarating. Street Fighter IV's intricate spacing, prediction and footsies are all blown out the window when your enemy is capable of rushing you down and embedding his foot in your face in a fraction of a second, which at my level of play makes desperately mashing buttons and randomly throwing out special moves actually somewhat viable. Some 100-odd games later, though, I'm starting to become re-acquainted with the execution idiosyncrasies of my arcade stick and actually pulling off a few combos. It's a slow, uphill climb, especially since I spend most of my time in Practice Mode vacillating between states of bewilderment and boredom, but it's nice to have a fighting game I can really sink my teeth into again after getting tired of Capcom trying to charge me again for the same game.\n- Join Date\n- Jul 2013\n- 161\n...

It's going to take an hour of real time to finish? Unless I speed it up with premium currency which I can purchase with real money? Well then.\nTo be fair to the game I'm still free to carry on racing in my old future-flying-car as much as I want, but it's... jarring, seeing timers in a game on Steam. And while QRO isn't bad for a F2P arcade racer from a nothing little studio (AFAIK), and I'm guessing the timers are meant to push me towards the \"proper\", paid-for, offline version it's not really good enough for me to want to take the plunge when it gets through Greenlight. Oh well. I do want to keep playing, timers or no timers, so that's something.\nOne of the games I'm playing at the moment is Spintires and it is alot of fun to winch yourself out of mud, and winch friends out of mud, and get winched out of mud by friends.\nMy new roommate is a big fan of the Binding of Isaac.

Migraines have disruptive capabilities, therefore, understanding the mechanisms that trigger them is crucial for effective prevention and treatment. Air mass types and migraine induced emergency department (ED) visits in select North Carolina counties were collected over a seven year period in order to determine a potential relationship. Barometric pressure changes associated with Transitional air masses were also analyzed for potential trends. Bootstrapping showed that Tropical air masses resulted in greater numbers of migraine ED patients, while Polar air masses led to fewer. Moist Polar air masses in particular were found to correspond with the fewest number of migraine ED patients. On Transitional air mass days, the numbers of migraine ED patients fell between those of Tropical air mass days and Polar air mass days. With regards to barometric pressure changes associated with Transitional air masses, no trends were found.\nURI\nRecommended Citation\nElcik, Christopher James, \"Relationship between Air Mass Type and Emergency Department Visits for Migraine Headache across the Triangle Region of North Carolina\" (2016).

{"text": "Swimming pools, they are the best thing for the summer and a great addition to almost any home. But what not a lot of people realize is the sheer amount of work that goes along with maintaining and installing a swimming pool. Great amount of work and effort surrounds the installation of the pool not to mention expense, and this is aside from how much time and money it costs to maintain the pool every season of the year virtually.\nWe have spoken to people that regret their decision to have bought a pool because it is so difficult and expensive to maintain, which is why we offer our services at the lowest price in the area. Look, we have been in this business for quite awhile so we know a thing or two about what it takes to have a pool installed and maintained. We get that a lot of people enter with the idea that having a pool will be a breeze, that once it is installed, the worries are over.\nHere to help\nWe know that people think the ways listed above and have been in the business long enough to know that this is not true. That the work required to maintain a pool is much more than a lot of people have the patience for. Luckily for them we are here to service all of their pool needs, from installation to maintenance, and for commercial or residential so they can literally kick back and enjoy the sun.\nIt is part of what makes us the best supplier for pool repair parts in the area and the leader for pool installation in the area as well. Leave the hard stuff to us and see that having a pool is difficult, but made much easier with the right people on your side."}

Needless to say, we were pleased with the final results and the aggressive market approach taken by our underwriter.\"\nRaab said it is important to have the community understand school administrators and staff appreciate the support given to the school district over the years.\n\"This was an opportunity the school district had to give back to our taxpayers,\" he said.\nHe said the marketing process was enhanced by the high credit quality of the bonds.\n\"The board of education and administration are to be commended for their efforts and the savings they achieved for the district's taxpayers,\" said Craig Kahler, first vice president in the Lansing office of UBS Financial Service, Inc."}

{"text": "by WorldTribune Staff, September 11, 2020\nFederal authorities are investigating whether arsonists are working in coordination to set wildfires in Oregon, a report said.\n“We are reacting to a coordinated series of attempts to start fires anywhere and everywhere in Oregon. Public and Private lands, incorporated and unincorporated areas,” Law Enforcement Today cited a federal law enforcement source as saying.\n“By all indications so far in the preliminary stages of these investigations there is a coordinated effort on the part of these individuals to start fires in areas that are the least protected and most vulnerable then slowly working their way into more populated areas and neighborhoods,” the source said.\n“Please take this information as an advisory for you own account and welfare and please act in good faith with due diligence to plan accordingly for your own safety and the well being of your community,” the source added.\nIn Eugene, Elias Newton Pendergrass, 44, was arrested on Tuesday. He was suspected of arson in a wildfire that burned almost 400 acres, and caused evacuations west of Eugene.\nPendergrass, a Mapleton resident, allegedly started the fire in Sweet Creek Milepost 2, which covers 382 acres near Mapleton. He’s being held in the Lane County Jail.\nKSNV News 3 reported that on Sept. 9 firefighters arrived to someone attempting to start fires at the Dexter State Recreation Area, an Oregon State Park. The park is along Highway 58, one of the few places people can travel in Oregon and not deal too heavily with wildfires.\nDexter Rural Fire Chief Matt Peterson said a man with arm tattoos was seen starting two fires in the bushes towards the Dexter dam. Several people helped extinguish the fire before firefighters arrived. The suspect has a black German Shepherd, and was driving a green Ford or Chevy SUV, the chief said.\nSeveral of the wildfires devastating California and Washington are also being investigated as arson, reports say.\nIntelligence Brief __________ Replace The Media"}
{"text": "Competitors 2407 (+399)\nSports 14 (-8)\nEvents 102 (-8)\n5 May - 22 July 1912 Stockholm, Sweden\nIn 1909, with only one application to host the V Olympiad Stockholm was duly selected as the hosts for the 1912 games.\nIt was the fourth time in the five official Olympiads that we had been in Europe. However, the final continent Asia finally had representation at these games with Japan taking part for the first time. The other newcomer also broke new ground as Egypt was the first Arab Nation. Portugal, Iceland, Turkey (as the Ottoman Empire) were also new nations.\nStockholm had wanted to expand on London including ice skating in the games by adding a week of winter sports into their Olympics. However, the Swedish based Nordic Games didn't want multiple sports in the early part of the 1912-13 season detracting from their own event scheduled once again for Stockholm.\nThere was no boxing at the 1912 the last time it would be missing from the Olympic programme. However, the three day event which appeared in St. Louis returned and has never left, as did road cycling which had only appeared at the first Games in Athens.\nAn introduction to these games was the use of electronic timing for the athletics events. But there were also the introduction of some multi-event disciplines.\nJim Thorpe the greatest sportsman on earth\nOne man dominated the pentathlon on 7 July and this event a week later. He was a mixed race Caucasian and Sac and Fox native American called Jim Thorpe. He won 4 of the 5 events in the pentahlon then a further 4 from the 10 of the Decathlon. Indeed between the 26 Pentathletes and 29 Decathletes his worse event placings were two fourths in the Decathlon's 400m and javelin.\nThe Pentathlon did award points on the basis of position, but the Decathlon brought with it a new scoring system based on the performance of the athlete on the day against a base. Thorpe's score of 8412.955, which equates to 6649 on today's points system, using a sand pit to land the pole vault with wooden not fibre glass poles, and other equipment differences would have been good enough to stand as Olympic record until 1932.\nThorpe as well as the two multi-event wins also came 4th in the High Jump (he jumped the same height in the Decathlon) and 7th in the Long Jump (although the 7.07m he jumped in the Pentathlon would have been 4th in the individual).\nHowever, in 1913 Thorpe was stripped of his two Olympic gold medals as he had been a semi-professional baseball player while a student with Rocky Mount in the Eastern Carolina League and therefore in breach of the then strict amateurism rules. Thorpe unlike other college athletes had not used an alias for these summer payments of as little as $2 ($47 today) per game and a max of $35 ($877) per week. He wrote to the Amateur Athletic Union saying:\n\".But the AAU revoked his amateur status retrospectively, a decision upheld by the IOC. There were several appeals against the decision but even his team mate from those Games, later IOC President Avery Brundage said, \"Ignorance is no excuse.\"\nEventually in 1983, thirty years after his death, the IOC decided to reinstate Thorpe as co-champion with Ferdinand Bie (Nor) in the Pentathlon and Hugo Wieslander (Swe) Decathlon, though both men always considered Thorpe to be true champion. King Gustav V\nBirth of the Modern Penathlon\nBaron Pierre de Coubertin created a new event for the 1912 games; an event that is still with us today. Initially it was designed as a military only event as the disciplines where those that the baron believed were necessary for a military officer.\nFirst there was 10 metre pistol contest firing 20 shots with 40 seconds allowed for each shot. This was followed by a 300m swim (this is now 200m). Epée fencing where each competitor takes on everyone else in a one minute duel, a hit counts as a win, no hits counts as a loss for both. Next up there was jumping on a strange horse after just 20 minutes acclimation. The final event was a 4000m cross country run.\nThe Swedes took this new event very well, they took six of the first seven places in that first event in 1912. The man who broke in amongst them was 2nd Lieutenant George S. Patton of the US Army. He was an expert swordsman, indeed he helped the following year Model 1913 Cavalry Sabre, but was let down by his shooting. He claimed that his larger .38 caliber pistol made the holes in his target larger than the .22 caliber rounds used by his opponents, and that some of his shots went through earlier holes. However his was still penalised for one and came a lowly 20th in that event, he would be 7th in the swim, 4th in the fencing, 6th in the equestrian and 3rd in the run, to finish 5th.\nHe never complained about the incident in the shooting but said:.\nHe would later rise to the rank of General eventually famously taking command of the US Third Army in World War II.\nMarathon tales\nTwo men in the marathon were to face different fates. Portuguese athlete Francisco Lázaro had carried his nation's standard in the parade of athletes at the opening ceremony on 29th June. On 15th July he lined up with 68 others at the start of the Marathon. It was an exceptionally hot day and Lázaro rubbed wax over his body to prevent sunburn. At the 30km mark he collapsed and suffering from severe dehydration later died, he was the first fatality in competition at the Olympics.\nThe other is Kanaguri Shisō of Japan. In the heat of that marathon he fell unconscious and was cared for by a local farming family. Once he recovered he returned to Japan without notifying officials.Swedish officials considered him missing for 50 years until it was discovered that he had competed in intervening marathons including coming 16th in the 1920 Olympic marathon in 2'48:45.4 and a DNF in the 1924 event. He ins considered the father of the Japanese marathon running tradition.\nHowever, in 1966 after he had been rediscovered Swedish Television contacted him to see if he wanted to complete his first Olympic Marathon. He did and therefore completed the full 40.2km in a time of 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes and 20.379 seconds.\nProud Finn but the Russian Flag\nFinland had sent a separate team to the Games but on the nine times that they won gold the Russian flag was raised in their 'honour'. One man had the dubious honour three times, the first of the so-called Flying Finns. He took gold in the 5000m, 10000m and individual Cross Country (which helped his nation pick up silver in the team event).\nHowever, despite winning these three medals he saw the white, blue and red flag of Russia being raised and not the flag of Finland. It made him say that he \"almost wished he hadn't won.\"\nThe First World War interupted his sporting career and when the next Games came around in 1920 he was 31 and taking part in the Marathon. He finally got to see the flag of Finland raised in his honour and his national anthem played.\nWhen the Games came to Finland in 1952 he was, along with his successor in Finnish distance running Paavo Nurmi chosen for the honour of lighting the flame.\nSee also: The full list of my blog posts covering the past Olympics"}
{"text": "Greg Oden is an American ex-professional basketball player who has a net worth of $16 million. He is best known for playing for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat. Oden had a challenging career that was plagued by many injuries.\nBorn on January 22, 1988, in Buffalo, New York, Greg Oden was a quiet child. At the age of nine, his family relocated to Terra Haute, Indiana, where he went to Sarah Scott Middle School. Later, he relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana, with his mother and brother. It was at this place where he played basketball for the Lawrence North High School team.\nOden captained his school team to win three consecutive Indiana Class 4A basketball championships. He was named the National Boys Basketball Player of the Year in both 2005 and 2006. Greg Oden attended Ohio State University for the 2006-07 season. After he missed the first half of that season as a result of a wrist injury, he made his college debut on December 2, 2006.\nDuring his first game, he managed to record 14 points, ten rebounds, and five blocks. In the same year, sports broadcaster Steve Kerr described Greg Oden as a “once-in-a-decade player.” Greg enjoyed an impressive college career where he earned Defensive Player of the Year and reached the National Championship in 2007.\nThe Associated Press named him to the All-American team and he became the first freshman to do that since 1990. After recording a year of college basketball, Oden said that he would enter the 2007 NBA draft.\nGreg Oden Career\nGreg Oden was chosen first overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. But due to a knee injury, he had to sit out his first season. In the following year, he missed a quarter of the 2008-09 season as a result of different injuries. But, he put in impressive stats in the games that he did play.\nHis third season was quite disappointing, only playing 21 of the 82 total games as a result of a fractured patella. In November 2010, the Trail Blazers confirmed that Oden would miss the whole 2010-11 season to have microfracture surgery on his left knee, marking the fourth year that Greg Oden could not play an entire season.\nBetween 2011 and 2012, he suffered major setbacks with his recovery, eventually needing more surgeries than it had been thought initially. Portland released Greg in 2012 from their team to make space for trade acquisitions. Oden announced that he would not play the 2012-13 season to focus on rehabilitation.\nIn the next year, he signed with the Miami Heat and made his most-anticipated return to the court. In that season, Greg Oden started in 23 games and the Heat made it to the NBA finals where they were unfortunate to lose to the San Antonio Spurs.\nGreg Oden spent the next two years training to make a significant comeback to the NBA but it never worked out that way. On August 26, 2015, Oden signed a 1-year, $1.2 million deal with the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association. However, he parted ways with the team half-way through the season.\nCurrently, he is an athlete overseer and adviser for Edyoucore Sports & Entertainment, a Baltimore-based firm offering financial education and consultation services to people, primarily assisting amateur and professional athletes comprehend their financial reality.\nRelationships And Investment\nIn August 2014, Greg Oden was charged with battery and three additional counts after he punched his ex-girlfriend in the face. He pled guilty to battery with minor bodily injury and the other charges were dropped. In September 2016, he and his fiancé Sabrina Williams had a child together, Londyn, and on September 3, 2017, the couple got married in Maui, Hawaii.\nReportedly, Oden acquired a home in Dublin, Ohio in 2017 for $800,000. His 5,300-square-foot house features three bathrooms, four bedrooms, and one half-bathroom."}

{"text": "Annual MLK March for Unity\nPublished 11:38 am Wednesday, January 17, 2018\nOn Monday, January 15 on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, citizens of Cordele gathered for a march down Joe Wright Drive in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and to stand in unity. The marchers clapped and sang as they walked, waving to passerby. Two people flanked the march holding American flags.\nCordele City Commissioner, Royce Reeves marched along with Crisp County Commissioners, James Nance and Larry Felton.\n“First thing, we started this morning at American Legion with breakfast. Shortly after the breakfast we got down on Martin Luther King and 13th and we started the march, from 13th up Martin Luther King to Joe Wright Dr. The march started at 9:30,” Reeves said.\nThe president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Cordele chapter,\nMembrish Brown marched at the front of the crowd with fellow NAACP board member, Glenda Rivers. Together they held an NAACP sign that stated the organization was founded in 1909. Brown has been one of the organizers of the MLK march in Cordele since 1996.\n“When we originally started, we used to just march to the courthouse and disperse. About four or five years later we started a complete march all the way. We started marching at churches, rotating the churches to have the program. We outgrew the churches so we had to go to the auditorium of A.S. Clark,” Brown said.\nGlenda Rivers has been a part of Cordele’s MLK march since 2001 when she relocated from New Jersey and came back to Georgia.\n“I think the message of the day would be unity, love, peace and remembering Dr. King and what he stood for and that it never be forgotten what it cost us to be out here to march and to march in peace,” Rivers said."}
