A business trip to Disney World? Yes, that sounds perfect!
Who turns down a trip to Disney World? Not this chick. As you are probably aware, I am a Travel Professional, specializing in vacations to Disney Destinations. When asked if I wanted to participate in an on-site agent seminar last week, I couldn’t jump at the chance fast enough! I spent three days at the World absorbing all that I could about resort renovations, inspecting different room categories, meeting new friends, and enjoying some once in a lifetime experiences. Before I get a million emails about how you too can become a Travel Professional, let me just add that running a small business is a lot of work and while perks like these are super, the effort to get to this point is pretty significant. I live and breathe Disney 24×7.
Back to the fun though! I was definitely busy with the resort inspections and classroom portions of the seminar but I did squeeze in some time to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot. It is great to pop into the parks and immediately have that ‘home away from home’ feeling. Disney goes above and beyond to make the overall guest experience top-notch. Magic Kingdom was fairly crowded for a late January evening so I hopped on Haunted Mansion for a quick ride in a Doom Buggy and then headed over to Pecos Bill Cafe for a veggie burger. People watching in the spacious dining area of Pecos Bill’s proved to be quite interesting. I highly recommend grabbing a bench and a snack sometime while you’re in a Disney park and just watching the crowds flow by. The happiness of the children and their parents as they are making memories of their time together always brings a smile to my face and reminds me why I truly love my job.
The next afternoon led me to Epcot where I enjoyed a most delicious mango smoothie in Canada while people watching (do you see a theme here?) After every last yummy drop was gone, I strolled over to Mission Space where I took the easy way out on the “Green” side. For those that aren’t familiar with this ride, you are in a simulator that takes you on a mission to Mars and you have two ride options, Green or Orange. Green is the gentle version with no ‘g’ forces and orange gives you the full feeling of taking off for outer space. Since I just had a mango smoothie, I was thinking that rapid spinning wasn’t going to be the best idea I could have so I opted for the gentle mission. It was really nice and I rode with a family with two little boys who were enjoying their first time on the ride. I love that! Seeing their excited faces, even though we didn’t speak the same language, was just great.
After my ride, I meandered around to the Werther’s caramel store in Germany (“Karamell-Küche”) where I promptly ordered up a caramel apple and began the journey into pure delight. The caramel is made fresh in the store and those apples are to die for. I finished up my snacking with a little shopping in Japan and went back to my seminar group for a private dinner and Illuminations Dessert party to cap the evening.
Now that I’m back home, completely exhausted and sick (likely due to airport germs), I am so glad to have been able to have had these experiences and learn more to be able to enhance the vacation experience for my clients.

First off, I want to thank you for your patience with the email issue affecting some mail configurations. We know these kinds of issues are major inconveniences and have been working diligently to solve this issue.
Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows 7 appears to be unaffected and works correctly, as does any mail client on Windows 10.
The “fix” for this suggested by Microsoft and cPanel is to downgrade to SSLv3 security. To do this would put our customers data at risk and thus we aren’t willing to do this. Security trumps everything else, so the following workarounds are available.
If you have a computer running Windows 7 or Office, please ensure that both are fully up to date. If you’re using an older version of Outlook (2013 or earlier), you will want to upgrade. Office 2013 becomes unsupported as of April 2018 by Microsoft, and any version before that has long been out of date.
Once you’ve ensured Windows 7 and Office are fully up to date, if that doesn’t resolve the problem, you may try this fix from Microsoft. This patch is a recommended update, but you may have skipped it in Windows Update or it may have failed to install.
There are reports of this patch fixing issues with non-Microsoft mail clients.
Modern versions of Windows have the modern SSL support required to address this issue. Windows 7 supposedly does as well, but we have found systems that lack proper modern TLS support. This is likely due to a stuck or non-applied Windows update.
Mozilla Thunderbird appears unaffected by this issue and is fully supported. Many prefer it for its speed and simplicity. It’s open source and free.
We realize this isn’t an ideal solution for all clients, but this will always work on any computer. It’s flexible, fast, and extremely reliable. You can access webmail by going to http://yourdomain/webmail or http://mail.yourodmain.com/webmail.
If you have any questions, please let us know. We’re always here to help!
Email reliability is a very central and primary goal of OCS Solutions. We have dozens of scripts and processes that run throughout the day, helping our technicians ensure that your mail is received and delivered without a hitch. Customers expect their email to work with the reliability of a utility, and, for the most part, we achieve this.
Before we dive into specifics, I need to define our services. We have two separate email services – our Workspace Mail systems and our cPanel-based shared hosting systems. The majority of the items we’ll be discussing in this blog post are related to our cPanel-based mail systems. Our Workspace Mail system is on a completely different infrastructure and is dedicated to mail. It is a completely separate product and does not come with shared hosting accounts.
On our cPanel shared hosting systems, we serve both websites and mail from these servers. The primary focus is web hosting – email is provided as a free add-on to the web hosting service. While cPanel provides an extremely robust email system, any time you host email and websites on the same server (and more importantly, the same IP address), you may have issues with email.
This is a well-known fact in the hosting industry, but is something that doesn’t get a lot of public attention. I believe most hosting companies don’t want to discuss this issue because it exposes a critical flaw in the way email is handled. In shared hosting, you will invariably, from time to time, have a website that sends SPAM. This is almost always an accident – a hacking attack on an outdated WordPress site or something similar, but the cleanup from these incidents can be extraordinarily time consuming.
We have scripts in place that prevent large SPAM outbreaks. Oftentimes a hacker is only able to send a couple of dozen mails before they are caught and blocked. Even so, large mail providers have a zero-tolerance policy, and rightfully so. Because of this, our shared hosting servers may temporary be blocked or limited by some providers. When this happens, we immediately request de-listing, but this process can take up to 24 hours. In the meantime, you may not be able to send mail to some recipients.
This is a very unfortunate cycle and keeps our support team busy. While we pursue these reports diligently, ultimately we cannot guarantee extreme email reliability on our shared hosting infrastructure. We’ve had two alternatives in place to remedy this – our Workspace Mail product and our dedicated cPanel email server.
Our dedicated cPanel email server is a stand alone system that hosts no websites. It’s only focus is to provide email and nothing else. It doesn’t get blacklisted because it doesn’t have websites and thus insecure WordPress plugins and contact forms. It enjoys an extremely high delivery rate and customers never report issues with it. And, because it’s cPanel, we can easily migrate the mail portion of an account over to it and leave the web hosting part, simplifying deployment. Passwords, webmail settings and even address books can be preserved.
Yes, this process does create two cPanel logins. But if a customer had Google or Microsoft mail, or our Workspace Mail product, this would be the case anyway. Regretfully we cannot combine the two logins, but this is the nature of the cure – if we had a way to tie the two pieces together under the same login, it would be on the same server, and thus have the same issues as the email on our shared hosting systems.
In addition to this service change, we are also increasing the frequency of our scanning scripts to clamp down on spammers even more aggressively. We have deployed a system to scan for out of date WordPress installations and insecure contact forms and will be contacting clients who have these on their sites with notices to upgrade these elements.
Despite all of these changes, we must also admit that we are not Google or Microsoft, the world’s two largest business email providers. We’ve always been very forthcoming of our strengths and weaknesses, but it is clear that only companies of that size can dominate the business email hosting industry. We prefer to engage customers on a more personal basis and provide hand-crafted solutions.
I hope that you have found this transparent glimpse into our hosting systems and policies beneficial. If you have any questions about it, please contact us.
Sure, but Email Hosting is Free, Right?
With free email services, you are the product, not the customer. Your email data is used to help generate a marketing profile to deliver advertising while you work and converse with friends and family. You have no support, no guarantee of service, and you can’t brand your email address.
Marketing experts have long advised small business owners to have an email address on their domain name and not with a free email service. It’s undeniable that [email protected] looks a lot better than [email protected]. Even [email protected] has significant limitations. With our email hosting, you can use your own domain.
The first is not to knock SpamAssassin – it is a good solution. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work well out of the box for most people. It requires some training and calibrating to reach the maximum effectiveness for each user. Also, it being open source, spammers can run their email through it and know how it will score before they send, giving them a huge advantage.
The second issue – same server email – sounds like more of a convenience than a problem, but it can quickly become an issue in a shared hosting environment. While uncommon, outbound SPAM emails do make it through the email system of a cPanel server. Scripts and processes we run on the server quickly clamp down on this, but even a handful of SPAM messages can be too much for some providers. Every web hosting company must deal with playing wack-a-mole with removing servers from blacklists to ensure maximum delivery rates.
With OCS Email Hosting, your email is your property – private and secure. It isn’t scanned to build profiles on you like most free providers do, and only US-based agents are allowed to access your email only in the event of diagnosing an issue you raise (with your consent) or complying with a valid US court order. Since this system is on a completely separate cluster from your web hosting systems, it isn’t affected by the same issues that affect cPanel email accounts.
With our new email service, you’ll enjoy secure, reliable, and easy to use email service packed with an impressive array of features. An integrated webmail system allows you to manage your contacts, calendar, and handle all of your mails from the comfort of a browser. There’s support for Outlook, Thunderbird, and most other IMAP/POP3 clients, and our service works well on the iOS or Android platform.
You’ll enjoy 24/7 phone support and the peace of mind knowing that an entire team of experts is working around the clock to ensure your email is reliable and secure.
We’ve had a busy couple of weeks at OCS Solutions!
All cPanel shared hosting servers have received significant upgrades. In addition to faster processors, we have also added more RAM and faster hard drives (SSD). Your sites will enjoy a significant speed boost without you having to lift a finger!
Although our Plesk servers are running on a newer generation of hardware, they will still be receiving RAM upgrades this week.
In addition to phone, email, and text (SMS) support, we are delighted to announce that we now have live support chat available on our website. Our world-renowned expert support is available via chat from any page of our website. Simply click the Chat icon in the bottom right hand screen to speak directly with an agent.
If all representatives are busy, the Chat icon will become a Help icon, in which case you’ll be able to open a support ticket directly from any page. Your request will receive expert care and attention as quickly as possible.

Before Donald Trump came along, I was more of a libertarian purist — I took the view of the Nobel Prize winning economist, Milton Friedman, who was an effective champion of free trade and zero tariffs.
His point of view certainly held sway in the U.S., and it came to Canada too, under both Conservative and Liberal governments. The Canada-U.S. free trade deal, and NAFTA, have made every party a free trader.
The corollary to that was the free movement of labour. That’s what the European Union did. And it’s amazing to be able to move freely around that continent.
But it brings problems too. Most acutely, huge masses of Muslim migration into Europe.
And in the U.S., too, where at least 13 million Mexicans illegally work — a benefit to employers, sure, and to consumers who save a few pennies on a head of lettuce. But what about the other costs to society that aren’t as easily quantified?
In Canada, we don’t have as large a problem with illegals. But we legalized our cheap foreign worker problem and called them temporary foreign workers. Again, it’s a gift to fast food restaurants and banks who don’t want to pay an extra dollar an hour to hire Canadians.
That’s great for people who won’t want to pay an extra dime for their Big Mac. But is it as good for Canadian teens who should be getting a first job?
There's been a similar hollowing out of industrial jobs, six-figure jobs — and the fancy people say, well, steelworkers should just retrain and do “coding”. You know, just learn to design an app for an iPhone, we’ll get new jobs for the 1,000 men laid off at your steel factory ——because China is subsidizing steel, to sell into America, for the strategic purpose of killing America’s steel industry.
Should Trump let Chinese cheap steel kill off factories in Pennsylvania?
He's said no. And so far, it seems to be working.
If you want free trade with us, then act like it. If you don’t drop all of your tariffs, we’ll hammer you until you do. And, country after country has said yes.
It’s realigning American politics. Trump is doing what no Canadian Liberal or NDP, and what no U.S. Democrat, has done in decades: actually fighting for the working man and praising heavy industry.
In Canada, were shutting down perfectly fine power plants. We’re banning pipelines and defunding oilsands. In America, they can’t build fast enough — 4.2 per cent GDP growth last quarter.
NEXT: I'm joined by Catherine Swift of Working Canadians to talk more about this, as well as Trudeau's ill-advised trade war against the United States.
If someone who can code is unemployed, it’s because they are lousy coders. Lots of work for good coders. The problem is this, there are lots of coders, just very few good coders. The universities have done their job of indoctrination and now we in the industry are experiencing SJW coders who believe in feelings first.
Andrew I have worked on major computer projects in the government. They are corrupt with political favouritism in providers. But more importantly…if the reward for completion is a pink slip….there is really no incentive to complete.
If I was paying dues into the union, I’d file a private charge against Diaz for Breach of Trust for going against his own members interests.
Unions were NEVER meant to be in public services. And frankly, their ability to hold us hostage is contrary to our right to Life, Liberty and Security of the Person!
How in the hell do you add 76 THOUSAND jobs to the public sector? Like seriously, what do these ppl do? I want to know! We citizens have a right to know! Maybe Sheila can do some digging for us?
Oh..let’s not forget the elbow stroke…go get em.. big guy..
- You could not have a better example of opposites than what we see in Trump & Trudeau. The shift in the US has made the Republicans the party of the middle class & small & medium businesses. The Democrats have become the party of the ultra rich, cronies & the perpetually dependent poor.
- There should be no public service unions. They only serve far left interests. When you don’t have competitors you should not be unionized. As far as NAFTA is concerned we could not have a worse group running Canada at this moment in history.
@NICHOLAS CONKLIN . . . lame man !
Do you think Justin is going to come on and discuss is tie & socks like on CBC?
Most of Canada’s insane left run away from Rebel reporters . . . seen it dozens of times.
Perhaps you could arrange for Rachel Nutley to be interviewed by Ezera . . . bet you are thrilled with the destruction of Alberta the last 4 years.
PS: Trump has done an awesome job in in less than 2 years . . . repaired the Obama destruction added 400,000+ manufacturing jobs, GDP on the road to 3%+ this year for the first time in over a decade, and minority unemployment Lowest in History today !
Allan Peterson commented 10 hours ago: I guess it depends on what job you need done. But I know a lot more unemployed computer geeks than tradesmen.
The original Unions were started and run by the Mafia, as money making enterprises……Nothing has changed.
Ezra does not ask tough questions to people he already supports. He doesn’t have people on his show with completely opposing views.
An Ezra/Trump interview would be a bromance, much like Trump coverage on The Rebel.
Yup. How many times have I heard that kind of pie-in-the-green-sky kind of crap.
Canada is going to become a service industry country…..visions of sea-to-sea eco-friendly resorts where everybody gets a job as a hiking guide. Or, everybody in the country-side should be thinking about organic farming and agri-tourismos.
Unions had their day of usefulness. The laws are now in place to protect the workers.
Unions only exist now to make their executives rich and to politically oppose any right wing government.
Making the union due voluntary would spank these unions back in to doing the job they were formed to do.
As for tariffs, there should not be any at all. Trudeau is going to destroy Canada by insisting on protecting the dairy cartel by maintaining a high tariff on US dairy products.
“The problem with computer jobs is that anyone in China or India can do the same job for less pay than you can here.” That’s not true. If you want cheap and low performing code, hire from India or China. If you want quality bug free code, hire an “Old Stock Canadian,” who did not just recently leave their indoctrination centre.
I guess it depends on what job you need done. But I know a lot more unemployed computer geeks than tradesmen.
At the end of the day, unions are like an additional layer of government, that exists to put an extra tax on the workers. The only certainty of unions, is that they make lots of money off the union dues.
Funny seeing the progressives claim Facebook an Google can do what they want , but other companies have to be under a union yoke. Suddenly that freedom disappears.
Andrew Harrison sadly the Liberals did just that with a military contract just recently.
Nicholas Conklin WRONG! That is the how the media party and the left operates. Ezra asks actual meaningful questions , he always has. That is why progressive liars are scared to be interviewed by him. A prime example is Justin in Quebec recently.
It is evident that Richard Trumka is feeling the heat these days… The soaring American economy in recent months means many non-union companies are springing up and neither the new owners or their staff are going to play “the union game”… The recent higher court decision giving even government employees the right to opt out of unions and fees, is a blow… And the number of larger companies being created in “union optional” states must also be giving Trumka daily indigestion… And since the growth of the American economy shows no signs of abating, it is inevitable that more and more workers are going to start asking “why the bleep should I have to belong to a union??” That aside, why the hell are most union leaders I see on TV are plump and overweight? Too much living high on union dues???
Interesting coincidence…I watched “ON THE WATERFRONT” last night. A classic 1954 film about union corruption, with Marlon Brando.
A lot of things have changed in the last 6 or 7 decades – but some things haven’t!
It would seem like John Cardillo is on his way out, but we will probably know for sure in a week or two.
Why doesn’t anyone mention John Cardillo? He appears to have gotten disappeared.
Trump had to buy his steel from whomever was still making it. He didn’t choose cheap Chinese steel over unionized steel, he chose available steel.
Great Labor Day Show; I always enjoy the opinions and theories of Ontario from Catherine Swift. It would be fulfilling to get the same for Quebec, (How is Quebec affected if Trudeau loses NAFTA ?) and to a lesser degree The Maritime Provinces and BC.
Alberta and Saskatchewan have to look again at this older video, as it may be their only solution. 4 min.
How true it is that government unions are the worst. In 1991, the Public Servants Alliance of Canada went on strike. The government offered 0, 3, and 3 percent but Daryl Bean refused that. After a few bitter weeks when members weren’t paid much, Mr. Bean settled for 0, 0, and 0 percent. Naturally the elitists didn’t suffer like the clerks did. Neither did Mr. Bean lose his presidency.
Here in BC, for instance, government union reps when talking about bargaining with the government refer to them not as the government (which is supported by taxpayers ie: all of us) but as “the employer”. This term disassociates the taxpayer from the bargaining process so it is not the taxpayer on the other side of the union demands but some entity called the employer.
Awhile back I read in a local paper about what happens during negotiations between teachers and their school board. Trouble was a Vancouver teacher (who lived in Richmond) was an elected school trustee for the Richmond School Board and as such he was influential in getting a rich settlement for Richmond teachers. He knew that it was common practise for the Vancouver School Board to follow the Richmond’s lead so that he too can get a rich settlement. Can you say conflict of interest. Nobody seems to care.
In that time frame,I have had to contribute union dues in 4 separate instances and to 4 different unions.(It was never optional not to contribute…..) Because of my personal experience,not just for myself,but for others in my place of employment at the time,I say now that the the union(s) involved had little regard for the “unionized membership”. Members were merely a cash cow which allowed the Executive to access large amounts of money which allowed them to pursue political interests.(and lots of perks…) I see nothing today that has changed.
In the non-union companies I worked for,I progressed(financially and job-wise) much more quickly because of my merit rather than seniority,politics or “pull”. At Canada Post some years ago,we received a newsletter one month detailing how the union was standing “shoulder to shoulder” with our brothers and sisters in Brazil (Not even the Brazilian post office workers…..) to fight the injustices they were facing.Excuse me if I take exception to using my union dues to fight for something that is not in Canada….I understand that possibly CUPW is now involving itself with (an) organization(s ) that are somewhat anti-Semite ??? I was just wondering how this benefits the union membership in Canada….
For the most part,in Canada,unions have become a cancer.I understand their original value as a checks and balances approach to employers who would exploit workers.Their agenda,however,has been dramatically changed.The “working stiff” is just not that important anymore.Simply shut up, pay your money and we will tell you what is important to you…..

The Directing Department was founded by Boris Zahava in 1959. That period of time in our country - later it was called "thaw" - gave birth to a new wave in literature that burst into the Soviet theatre that was suffocating in a very calm and relaxed atmosphere of no conflict.
There appeared an acute necessity in young directors who would be able to put the literature of "thaw" on stage and think over the Russian and world classical literature and theatre heritage in a new way.
At that point there were a lot of amateur and folk theatres in our country. The best amateur theatres (especially in big cities) successfully competed with professional theatres. It was obvious that these amateur theatres required professional help, their Heads needed to be provided with knowledge of the Russian theatre culture. Our Directing Department was founded exactly at that moment.
Graduates got different type of assessment as a result of their studies. The best students had the qualification "Theatre Director" and all the others graduated as "Directors of Amateur Theatre Collective". With time a lot of graduates didn't only begin working in professional theatres but became heads of them.
Gradually these two phrases were taken out of the diplomas and now in The Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute there is only one specialty for all the graduates of the Directing Department: "Director of Drama". And no wonder. It's enough just to have a look at the list of leading directors of Russian and former Soviet Republics in order to imagine the scale of the work of the Directing Department.
The main principle of education in our school is a complex and deep approach to mastering all the sides of a director's work. This principle is based on the method of teaching which is being constantly revised and renewed. The method roots in the practical activity of Evgeny Vakhtangov who enriched the ideas of Konstantin Stanislavsky with "fantastic realism". The practical method was transformed into a system of theoretical thesis and practical skills by Boris zahava, Ruben Simonov, Evgeny Simonov, Maria Ter-Zaharova, Alexander Polamishev, Vladimir Eufer, Liudmila Stavskaya and other teachers of the Directing Department of the Shchukin school.
At the present moment - apart from the correspondence course for those who already work in a professional theatre or leads a theatre school or studio but doesn't have a diploma of a theatre director - we have a full-time program. Except for the basic disciplines of the Acting Department this program includes disciplines on theory and practice of directing, the fundamentals of play analysis, stage design, economics of theatre and music in a theatre performance.
The students finish their studies with a show that can be produced in any theatre in Russia and abroad.
Full-time groups of student directors are enrolled once in five years. They study together with the students of the Acting Department. They master the entire four-years program having a chance to work with actors, make experiments and try different approaches. A lot of graduates of these groups are great directors who work in such theatres as The Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint-Petersburg, The Vakhtangov Theatre, The Satire Theater, The Moscow Art Theatre etc.

LYNCHBURG – Randolph-Macon Woman’s College announced Monday a comprehensive campus-wide restructuring and reorganization plan designed to strengthen the financial foundation of the College and address the financial concerns raised by the College’s accrediting agency. The plan includes a reorganization of administrative offices and departments and a reduction in force of about 15 percent of college staff positions.
The plan is the product of months of careful study to evaluate ways the College could operate more efficiently and effectively without compromising the quality of the student experience on campus.
The reduction in force will result in the elimination of 30-35 staff positions. Included in this number are full- and part-time positions that have been eliminated, voluntary early retirements and open positions that will not be filled. High level management positions are included in the reduction.
The College solicited volunteers for early retirement and adjusted its plans based on the employees who volunteered and the positions they occupied. Severance packages have been offered to all affected employees, both those who volunteered and those who did not. The Human Resources Office has facilitated assistance from the Employee Assistance Program and the Virginia Employment Commission to staff members affected by the restructuring plan.
In addition to the review of staff positions and administrative departments, the College is also currently involved in a study of academic areas. The 2007-2008 academic program will not be affected by these changes.

Lithograph “Waterfall”, written by the Dutch artist Escher in 1961, the design of which is based on the impossible triangle of Roger Penrose. Such a triangle consists of three boards (crossbars), each of which is laid at right angles to the other.
The waterfall itself in the picture looks like this: the water falling from the uppermost tower turns the wheel, which then directs the same water to the top of the structure. In general, the operation of such a mechanism is impossible according to the law of conservation of energy, more precisely, even if the wheel is started by water, then after a while the mechanism will inevitably stop. Simply put, the work of such a waterfall is impossible, like a perpetual motion machine.
Quite unusually arranged path along which water rises. The columns located at the corners of the groove, in fact, do not rise up, as it seems at first, but abut the track, forming a few more Penrose triangles. Even the upper turrets are not on the same level, but with a difference of at least half a floor. In general, water, if you forget about the columns and the waterfall itself, clearly flows along a plane or even with a downward slope. But, somehow, in the picture after the execution of the cycle, it appears above the wheel and pool, from which it flowed into the distance. All elements of the picture are drawn without perspective, which allows to achieve interesting optical illusions and impossible figures.
The waterfall in the picture is a structure that is located next to houses and extraordinary plants. Everything around him looks quite normal, and the woman standing on the roof of the house on the right, at all, calmly hangs out to dry her laundry.
Escher was created more than one paradoxical drawing, and many of his works cause a person to get lost while trying to present the objects of his paintings in reality.

View Larger Map In a little known crossroads in the extreme northeastern corner of the state of Mississippi, lies a quiet little town called Iuka. One hundred and forty nine years ago this spot was hardly the tranquil spot it is now. In fact it was here that my great-great-great uncle, George Bedford gave his life for the preservation of the Union.
I've been interested in the American Civil War for well over fifteen years. It all began when my grandmother showed me a pair of letters written by our family ancestors during the war. The first was from Edward Bentley who reportedly enlisted well underage and joined the 14th Iowa Regiment. His letter was very concise, but includes a lot of information concerning his involvement in the ill-fated Red River Campaign. Bentley survived the war and returned to Iowa, becoming my great-great-great grandfather.
The second letter was from Bedford, written to both his sister and family back in Clinton, Iowa. He wrote the letter while on campaign over the course of several weeks, giving us as readers a unique insight into the life with the regiment. He posted the letter in late August 1862. Two weeks later he was killed by a confederate bullet.
I write this because lately I have been finding myself absolutely fascinated by the war in a whole new light. Several new developments have transformed my previously casual interest into a full blown fixation. The first, and perhaps the most important was my formal training as a historian. With the skills and tools learned at university, I have been able to access far more information concerning the war than I had previously been able to before. This is largely thanks to the internet. Chief among the new information is the official state regimental histories. Thanks to Google Books, I was able to access and download the official history of Iowa in the Civil War, amounting to thousands of pages about the state's contribution to the war. These documents are organised by the individual Infantry and Cavalry regiments as well as the artillery batteries raised by the state. Each regiment's history is recorded in detail, including the names of each and every Iowan casualty.
Furthermore, the last time I was on an ACW (American Civil War) kick, I had absolutely nothing to do with wargaming. I was strictly interested in the general history of the war. Since then, wargamming has added a whole dimension to my obsession. Wargaming allows me to intereact with history in ways I couldn't have imagined in university. It compels me to explore the organisational and mechanical elements of the battle and ask questions and seek answers about how these things interacted.
Now, once again I find myself digging out Bedford's detailed letter and reading it with a new frame of mind. I wanted to see how his regiment functioned, how it fought, where it went, and most importantly, how Bedford died.
Using wargaming and research together, I intend to discover the answers to these questions, and I thought I'd use this blog to help keep me motivated. I will still keep working on my other projects, but this one has decisively cut its way into my life and demands my attention. Over the next few weeks I will be delving into the life and death of George Bedford, and I sincerely hope you will enjoy the ride.
Very interesting my friend. I look forward to your findings ... good luck.
oh you and your civil wars... Whats that saying you always used to say the north will rise again. =P But I do find this history intresting.

I set a record on my XM-5000 like scooter on 2 juli 2009.
The XM-5000 scooter drove 87,8 Km the last few Km's the red led kept flashing!
Below are my range and power consumption figures.
I normally commute to work what is around 63 Km's when I drive around 85Km/h in the last few Km's the red led starts to flash!
did an high speed run yesterday.
The total trip was 55,5km and the avarage of the first 50km was 69km/h with an top speed op 92,3km/h.
After 45km the red led started to flash and than after not slowing down the scooter started to show hickups on 52km.
The charge took 4,3 kWh.
So the range of the scooter is between 55km to ?????km.
This was achieved by keeping the speedometer below 60Km/h all the time.
First I drove from and to work on a slow speed road this took about 70Km and then the scooter had an rest during the night. The next day the rest of the 26,8 Km was put on the speedometer.
The charge afterwards toke some time and according to the meter I had put in 4,4 kWh (1kWh took me 22Km).
So far I drove 1671 Km and using 94,02 kWh so 1 kWh took me 17,8 Km.
One high speed run took me 55 Km using 4,32 kWh that was 1 kWh for 12,73 Km.
Congratulations, I see that you've figured out that speed kills. It kills fuel mileage, whether your fuel is liquid carbon, or electrons.:-) Note though that the way to kill a battery pack is to run it down to empty (or close). They don't like that at all, and won't last much longer than a pack of smokes, if treated that way very often.
edit: I guess I shouldn't have said "Congratulations" at the beginning. It makes it look like I might have been sarcastically making fun of your posts, which I wasn't.
Here's info from my last high-speed run. First time I've had my bike on the interstate - I had to slow for some traffic!
Hi Andy, I bet that's some nice scenery in your area sounds nice. Mikie I'm running a kelly KBL14251H on my stock 3500li now also. I run on 28 cells and the motor has never been over 115F yet that I know of. I get at least 40miles even at 45 and over speeds. I'm loving it!
PS alright maybe I'm fudging a little but according to my averages I'm using about an average 55 watt/hours per mile.
Mikie, What power settings are you using on your controller? Have you hooked up a laptop to change settings yet? I had mine at 70% motor power,which mean 70% of 200amps =140amps max to the motor and 50% battery power=100 max amps from batteries. I know this sounds like it doesn't make sense but I guess the controller lowers the voltage and increases the amps, that's why the controller doesn't have to draw as many amps from the battery that it is putting to the motor. If you download the program from Kelly's website you can turn on regen braking through the throttle also without doing anything but a click of a button. Just hook up a laptop to it and go!
I will test next year an XM 5000 on the highest mountain street in Austria, the Grossglockner high alpine street. This setting will improve range very much at this test.

text: This research aims to ask and answer three simple questions by using case studies that revolve around the entire drug patriarchy, which are why they get involved, how they get involved, and once in power what elements of the business do they involve themselves in to keep that power. With a brief recap of women’s involvement in the illicit trade from the 1900s to the 1930s and two perspectives of scholarly work in this field all but helps answer my research questions. Through a survey of cartel “queenpins,” women who have reached leadership positions in cartels, such as Griselda Blanco and Sandra Beltran and Yolanda Sarmiento, show that patriarchy is alive and well within the drug business. All three women became involved in the drug business in pursuit of money, fame, and respect; however, they differ from their male counterparts in how they involve themselves in the drug business. Griselda Blanco was shaped by her environment of Columbia and Yolanda Sarmiento by her environment of Argentina, Sandra Beltran was affiliated with policy officials who turned into drug cartel leaders. All three Queepins worked their way up the male-dominated ladder by being ruthless and cunning when pursuing the top spot of being the sole leaders of the drug cartel.

New Delhi: The Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha Mohan Singh has said that it is imperative to provide financial help to women so as to strengthen women cooperatives in the country as there is great potential for the development and success of women cooperatives. Shri Singh further said that if this movement continues, more and more women will be benefitted through women cooperatives. Shri Singh briefed it on a national workshop on the subject of strengthening of women cooperatives organized by National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) in New Delhi, today. Almost 200 women linked with cooperatives across the country participated in the workshop and interacted with each other about different schemes related to women cooperatives.
Agriculture Minister stated that there is 1.2 billion population in India out of which about 70% population of India resides in rural areas. Women play an important role in sowing and harvesting process and in the aftermath scenario as well. Shri Singh further added that only about 20,014 cooperatives are run by women out of the 8 lakh cooperatives in the country. Shri Singh said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare ascertains partnership of women in all of its schemes as well as its programs and earmarks 30% funds for women. Since, 2013-14, States and implementing agencies have been advised to utilize 10 to 20% of the funds for the livestock owned by women under the existing Centrally Sponsored/Central Sector Schemes for the empowerment of them.
In addition to this, the deployment of one female scientist in every Kendra has been made compulsory in 668 Krishi Vigyan Kendras spread all over the country. 3.1 lakh female agriculturists have been trained during 2016-17 by these Krishi Vigyan Kendras across the country. Apart from this, the participation of women agriculturists has been ascertained in different programmes like frontline demonstration and agricultural demo being conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendras. Now, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has decided to celebrate 15th October of every year as Female Farmer Day. A gender knowledge portal has been developed for women farmers in which the data and information related to women farmers have been displayed. Apart from this, the women have been linked actively with fisheries related activities like collection of fishery seeds, catch of small fishes, mussel, eatable oaster, collection of marine vegetation, fisheries marketing, fisheries processing as well as products development etc. They are providing training and micro financing for increasing their partnership and participation in fisheries sector so that their potentialities might be raised by organizing them in a cluster resulting in a spirit of inspiration towards this end.
Shri Singh further stated that the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) specifically aims to provide funds for the production of agricultural yield, processing, marketing, storage, export as well as import etc. NCDC provides financial assistance to women under the several programmes being run for weaker sections. NCDC provides loan upto Rs. 50 lakh for programmes related to women cooperatives. Further, the schemes above the range of Rs. 50 lakhs enjoy the loans available on 0.50% and 0.25% less interest rate respectively. On this occasion The Minister said that a Central Institute for Women in Agriculture, Bhubneshwar has been established for women agriculturalists by Indian Council for Agricultural Research. This is the first and only institute for the women associated with agriculture in the world.
Thereafter, Shri Radha Mohan Singh also chaired the 81th meeting of General Council of the National Cooperative Development Corporation. On this occasion Shri Singh stated that financial sanctions amounting to Rs. 17,334 crore have been given till 28.02.2017 as well as a sum of Rs. 11,579 crore has been distributed. This amount is almost double as compared to the distribution target of Rs. 6000 crore this year. During this period the net NPA of the corporation has been nil and the recovery rate of the loans is more than 99.59%. Shri Singh congratulated the Managing Director, NCDC and her team for performing even better during the current year 2016-17. While expressing his expectations Agriculture Minister said that NCDC will continue its endeavors for the weaker sections through programmes related to fisheries, dairy, poultry, handloom, cooperatives concerned with SC/ST and specifically for the development of the cooperatives located in North-Eastern region as well as underdeveloped areas.

U.S. senator Lindsey Graham is trying to make the most of his rare moment of zen with conservatives. The fiscally liberal warmonger – who is generally loathed by members of his own party in the Palmetto State – got back in the game with one big swing last week.
Graham’s angry rebuke of Democrats looking to scuttle the U.S. supreme court nomination of federal appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh was a home run.
“Graham channeled Republican rage – and then unleashed it against Democrats at the apex of their eleventh hour assault,” we wrote.
Which is true … and we don’t even like Kavanaugh.
Hell, we even refrained from including our usual litany of Graham’s left-leaning credentials (amnesty pimp, tax-hiker, Obamacare enabler and supporter of abortion-on-demand).
This week Graham’s message is being amplified by the Government Integrity Fund, a shadowy group whose website features no physical address nor point of (human) contact.
“Its principal purpose is to promote the common good and general welfare,” a donation form noted.
Where is the money it raises going? The group says it is “fighting for Kavanaugh’s confirmation,” but in reality it is rehabilitating Graham.
Flip a coin. Graham’s political calculus (well, his grasp of basic math) is legendary in South Carolina. But prior to shouting his way back into the hearts of the SCGOP base, he had dug a deep hole for himself. If he is able to rehabilitate himself and win reelection in 2020 it would be arguably his greatest escape act yet.
But it is clear he scored big with conservatives thanks to his fiery defense of Kavanaugh. And it is equally clear his shadowy supporters are wasting no time whatsoever in trying to capitalize on his moment in the sun.

In multiple myeloma (MM), there is a growing body of evidence showing the importance of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, particularly among transplant-ineligible patients. Paiva and colleagues assessed the clinical relevance of MRD monitoring in 163 elderly MM patients enrolled in the PETHEMA/GEM2010MAS65 trial of sequential bortezomib/melphalan/prednisone (VMP) followed by a lenalidomide/low-dose dexamethasone (Rd) regimen for 9 cycles each, or alternating cycles of VMP and Rd up to 18 cycles.1 MRD negativity was defined as <20 clonal plasma cells detected among ≥2,000,000 leukocytes (<0.001%; limit of detection: 10-5) using an 8-color second-generation flow assay.
At a median follow-up of 3 years, there was no difference in MRD-negative rates between the sequential and alternating regimens (20% vs 24%; P = .37) at cycle 9. Patients attaining MRD negativity at cycle 9 demonstrated a significant prolongation in time to progression (TTP; median: not reached [NR] vs 35 months; P = .001), which translated to overall survival (OS) improvement (100% vs 68% at 2 years; P = .01) compared with those with persistent MRD. MRD persistence at cycle 9 in patients who achieved complete response (CR; n = 43) was associated with significantly inferior OS (100% vs 74% at 3 years; P = .02). Among patients with paired MRD assessments at cycles 9 and 18, 19% of MRD-positive patients at cycle 9 became MRD-negative at cycle 18, whereas all MRD-negative patients at cycle 9 remained negative at cycle 18. At the end of cycle 18 (n = 119), MRD-negative rates were numerically higher in the sequential treatment cohort (46% vs 33%; P = .19). Patients who achieved CR plus MRD negativity at cycle 9 showed significantly longer TTP compared with those with CR and MRD-positive disease (NR vs 42 months). When the impact of MRD negativity was assessed among patients with standard- and high-risk cytogenetics, those who achieved MRD negativity showed significantly prolonged TTP versus MRD-positive patients regardless of whether they had standard-risk (median, 40 months vs 31 months; P = .002) or high-risk (median, NR vs 26 months; P = .007) cytogenetics. However, the benefit was greater for the high-risk cytogenetics group. When assessed by patient age, patients who achieved MRD negativity showed improved survival outcomes regardless of age, but those with MRD positivity showed significantly decreased survival with increasing age (65-75 years: 32 months; 75-80 years: 28 months; >80 years: 22 months; P <.001). Based on these results, it was concluded that MRD negativity in elderly MM patients translated to significant improvements in survival irrespective of patients’ age and cytogenetic risk. Conversely, patients with standard-risk MM and those in complete remission but remaining MRD-positive experience poorer clinical outcomes and warrant individualization of their treatment to improve their survival.

Who says the summers are dry? Not me! Though, it's not the right time as we are still to experience summers this year, still, as a prep, I'm putting this post, dealing with a particular summer beauty -- The Moss Rose, (Portulaca Grandiflora), also known as 9'o clock or 10'o clock, as it usually blooms at that time in the morning.
Moss roses, as far as I know and feel about them, are plants belonging to the the xerophytic group of plants (the same one, to which the cactuses belong). Xerophytes, according to wikipedia, are "plants that has adapted to survive in an environment that lacks average or sufficient amounts of water, such as a desert." This is because of the hardiness of the moss rose to harsh environmental conditions. As everyone here might be knowing, that moss roses may live on for a week or so without actually getting any nutrition, and this makes moss roses such a loved variety of ornamental plants.
Though, I have the pink and the white coloured varieties too, those were not such appealing, or probably, I couldn't capture one. The catch being - "Being at the right place at the right time." Moss roses can be very decorative. These continuously bloom for their entire blooming period, each flower lasting a day, and couples of flowers blooming everyday look actually nice.
Oh, I do love moss roses. Your photos are lovely!

Sorry, I disappeared for a bit from the typosphere. I made a misjudgment of planning a vacation before a cross country move, and it's come to bite me back now with the pile of stuff I must do. Anyhow, here are some spottings in the Big Apple.
Rag and Bone, what appears to be a clothing boutique, has chosen this summer season's window display to be of typewriters (or maybe it's permanent). These were various window displays from their stores around Manhattan.
This was a very cool store in Williamsburg. I think it was called dijital (I'll need to check on that).
A neat way to display what, must have been, unwanted typewriters. They are of no use to keychoppers, except perhaps the Royal KHM, and have, at least, found purpose in some hi-end artsy clothes store.
There is a store a few miles from me, one of those artsy hipster (I hope I am using the term correctly) places with loads of space, but barely any product. They sell, among other things, records and old books, no better than those found at Goodwill, for outrageous prices. Their typewriters, of which they have about half a dozen, are even more outrageous. $60 for a Sears electric? C'mon, now. And the manuals? Forget about it, unless you want to pay about $150 for an SM4 without the top of the case in 'vintage' or 'rustic' condition, as they call it.
One way or another, at least they are being appreciated in some way.
It's good to know that typewriters continue to be perceived as interesting and attractive in trendy places.
A late response back: Firstly, I've relocated to NYC now and I would love to visit your collection and maybe post some photos of it on my blog if you're interested. Please email me!

Dos Chinos on Dos Wheels: Shu: Welcome to Abu Dhabi!
As I'm writing this, Shu's airplane should be leaving the Canadian airspace on it's way to Abu Dhabi!
After having spent two months 'setting up camp' here in Abu Dhabi, I am very much ready for Shu to arrive and enjoy this new experience together with me.
To sum things up: everything's going good so far! I'm really enjoying myself, although I very much want Shu to be a part of it. Work has been great, I will blog about this topic soon, I know you all want to know how I'm fairing. Basically, I've done two months training and I need only one more month before I checkout.
I've made new friends, mostly through work. I really like our apartment, it's a nice size, centrally located, I get to work in under 20 mins, walk almost everything in the downtown area.
The next thing I'm looking forward to is Traveling! As most of you know, both Shu and I are avid travelers, and I (we!) can't wait to explore the Middle East, Africa and Asia region, which all are very close! When that happens, this'll be the first place you'll read about it!
Congratulations guys, finally together !!!
the best of luck! I hope everything works out for you!
Congratulations on Shu landing in AD and reuniting with Q. Wishing you two the best of everything as you embark on a life-journey together. Buena suerte dos chinos!
