Azerbaijan has a favorable climate and soil to grow cotton and recently the country has been using innovative technologies in cotton-growing industry.
Thus, Shirvan Experimental Station has started harvesting cotton that was planted with the use of innovative Chinese technologies, Trend reported, citing Head of Department of Plant Growing under the Ministry of Agriculture Imran Jumshudov.
The Head of Department noted that Chinese cotton planting technologies were implemented on ten hectares in central Ujar region.
Some 70-80 centners of cotton are expected to be harvested from each hectare, according to his words. Laser harrowing based on Chinese technology has been used in this area. The advantage of this method is that it helps to prevent soil resalting; it also saves water, promotes uniform seed germination, resulting in increased yield.
Jumshudov said that the technical advantage of the new method is that it allows completion of three operations in one step. At the same time, a new innovative technology is characterized by a high density per hectare. Some 200,000-220,000 seeds are sown in each hectare with a 90 centimeters distance between rows. By comparison, twice as less - 100,000-110,000 - seeds are cultivated by traditional methods.
According to Jumshudov, prevention of evaporation from the soil and the creation of a moisture deposit is one of the advantages presented by innovative technologies. According to Chinese technology, the use of polyethylene coating for planting and growing cotton reduces development of weeds. In addition, the polyethylene coating creates a good temperature regime for seed development, which allows for early sowing.
The Greek model cotton farms were also created in Terter and Salyan regions, while the Turkish one was created in Beylagan region.
Currently, the main goal is to achieve the implementation of pilot projects ensuring high productivity in larger territories. In this regard, teachers and students of the Azerbaijan State Agricultural University are expected to provide detailed information on cotton growing based on Chinese technology, as well as to demonstrate the benefits of this innovative method to cotton growing companies.
In early 2017, the State Program for 2017-2022 was approved with an aim of strengthening measures directed at developing cotton industry. The purpose of the State Program is to develop cotton growing, increase export potential in this sphere, ensure employment of the rural population and increase the production.
The new goal of the state is to bring the cotton production up to 500,000 tons by 2022 from the current 260,000 tons.
Cotton is a drought-resistant plant, but it does not tolerate frost and low temperatures, so Azerbaijan is a safe place to grow it.
In the early 1980s, Azerbaijan harvested up to a million tons of cotton per year. Later, like all other industries, as in all other Union republics, cotton growing declined and it could not receive the necessary investments for revival for a long time after that.

Lord Fletcher's, the site of the Take a Vet Fishing event, was an hour from my house. Annie and Paul picked me up at six in the morning; Paul handed back from the front seat a McDonald's breakfast of a tall stack of pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs and a biscuit, and I ate it, trying not to spill crumbs on the back seat of Paul's Lexus SUV. Annie was beautiful as she drove through traffic of the freeway then the elusive roads that led to Lake Minnetonka and the fishing event that blew the lid off them all.
Seventy-five veterans joined 40 guides, who provided boats, tackle, bait and bottles of water.
Then our guide, Jason, took over, and we walked down the dock to the boat, an orange rocket that sparkled in the sun, with silver instrumentation, an electric trolling motor, stationary anchor, and a 350-horsepower outboard motor. Paul jumped onto the gray carpeting of the boat, which took balls, I told him, and Jason held my hand as I stepped onto the deck. He untied the boat from the dock, started the motor that rumbled and backed us into the lake, where he turned the boat on a dime, gunned the motor, and drove the boat leaping across the waves of the windy lake. The boat was wide and long and handled the waves while hammering the wakes of bigger boats. The four pedestal chairs withstood the impact of the whitecaps and the windswept water.
On the boat, Paul opened the can of mixed nuts Annie bought and handed them around. The day was perfect, with a mild temperature, bright, sunny sky, but a stiff wind. Jason took us into the middle of the bay, pointed out houses that looked like hotels and navigated the boat through a channel and under a bridge.
We got into a bigger part of the lake. Jason slowed the boat near a marina of sailboats, and we stood in the boat and threw our baited hooks into the wind. He maneuvered the boat with the trolling motor. The wind blew us around, and we caught nothing but weeds. Jason called them salads; they came in heavily and felt like a fish until we realized they did not pull back. It seemed impossible for a fish hook to hold so much shrubbery.
An eagle flew toward us, dropped to the water, taloned a fish, lifted it skyward and took it to its lair. Then Jason caught a fish. He caught it without telling us, suddenly holding it up for me to take a picture. It was a small bass, but a fish, nevertheless.
We changed locations, stopping offshore from a mansion. The wind fanned the water, blew us around, and we caught nothing. I said, "The owner might come running out on the lawn and tell us to get the hell out of here."
"I've seen it happen," Jason said.
We reeled in. Jason gunned the motor and drove us lickety-split to another bay. The sun beat down, but the wind kept us cool. Jason tried another spot, and another, to find fish. Then I caught one. I felt it tap then tug, and it began to fight as I reeled, the rod jerking and bending with the pull of the fish. The fish came in; I pulled it to the bow, where Jason reached over to lift it into the boat. The fish threw the hook. Jason was left holding an empty line and regretting that he left his net at home.
"Paul, it's your turn," I said, and we all focused on catching another fish.
Jason drove the boat to the middle of another bay, where we avoided the traffic of other boats. The wind churned up stiff waves that slapped our hull. He gave us rods with spinner bait; they were heavier than jigs and easier to cast in the wind. Paul sat in the back seat and cast. I stood in the cockpit and used the steering wheel for support as I cast my spinner bait downwind. My bait had a yellow rubber skirt and a silver blade that spun when I reeled.
Jason told us about robotics, that he had been with his company for ten years, and in his previous job he traveled the world. Then we were quiet as we concentrated on casting our lures, letting them sink to the bottom, reeling them in and withdrawing the weeds that clung to our hooks. Paul opened the box of Cheez-its Annie bought and handed it around. Jason refused, his hands having put worms on our hooks for hours.
The houses onshore stood like mansions or shacks, depending on when they were built, and many looked like homes of fabulously wealthy people whom I never heard of. Canopies covered Chris Crafts; manicured lawns aproned shorelines, and huge windows reflected the sunlight that lit the lake. Sailboats ventured out, their jibs catching the wind and captains at tillers tacking to fill the sails with wind. I caught another fish.
I set the hook, and the fight began. The rod bent double, whiplashed, and the cork handle stiffened in my hands. I reeled it in; the rod pulled back, and the fish tugged as he came in hard. The bass fought like a fish twice its size. Jason stepped to the back of the boat, reached over as I brought the line to him, and he pulled it into the boat.
He took a picture and promised to send it to me. I held the small bass by the jaw, stood in the sun for the photo, then threw it back. It paused in the water, twitched and swam away.
We had half an hour before we had to go in for lunch, and I said, "Paul, the next one is yours, just to put the pressure on you."
Jason let us fish to the bitter end, then we reeled in. He stowed our rods and gave the motor full throttle. Our bow lifted then planed, our hats in our hands to keep them from blowing off. The hull banged the waves, and the marina of Lord Fletcher's approached as Jason slowed the boat to find a slip. We trolled along docks filled with big fishing boats like Jason's and docks for yachts with beautiful women just climbing off.
Jason found an unused dock, glided his boat in, tied it to the timbers and helped me out. Paul got out of the boat by himself, and together we walked up the dock to the wooden walkway to a tent decorated by volunteers. We had a lunch of hamburgers, pasta salad and chips. Afterward, an awards ceremony went on forever. The president of Take a Vet Fishing, who had his own TV show, "Fishing for Freedom," was longwinded, emotional and invested in the lives of the veterans he loved. Although he never served in the armed forces, his grandfather and father were Marines.
The president introduced people who helped him. His vice president started a harangue that turned sweet as he praised our country's peaceful transition of power after the presidential election and veterans who sacrificed their lives or time to keep America free. Annie winced when he started, afraid of a political tirade, but relaxed when the man's sentiments touched our hearts.
After lunch, Paul and I waited for Annie to bring up the car. She negotiated the backroads that led out of Lord Fletcher's and got on the freeway home. They opened their windows, and the warm wind buffeted me in the back seat. Then Annie opened the sky roof to make conversation impossible. We stopped for gas; she bought a bag of Gummy bears, and we handed them around.
For one hour, I was happy as never before.

With the exception of close-talkers, slow-walkers, and loud-eaters, few people truly deserve to be disliked.
(Okay, okay, we can admit that there are probably some perfectly nice slow-walkers out there.)
But the truth is that, even into adulthood, most people — no matter how loudly they chew — have a desire to be popular or well-liked by their peers and others. We’re humans; it’s human nature.
So what do many of us do when we get the sense that someone doesn’t like us? Panic.
Why we need to be liked
Some psychologists pin our need to be liked or popular to childhood embarrassments or struggles. Also, as humans who once faced life-or-death situations on a daily basis, negative thinking is kind of hard-wired into our DNA. Making matters worse, we tend to bristle at ambiguity. And so, as a result, not only do we fear being disliked, we are also constantly on the lookout to confirm how people feel about us one way or another. (How exhausting, right?)
It could be our next-door neighbor or a stranger we’ll never see again but, whether we realize it or not, many of our interactions are laden with these judgments and calculations.
Overcoming the need to be liked
The psychology of the human need for approval is certainly fascinating. But for the purposes of getting unstuck, let’s focus on a shift in mindset that can help us minimize the trouble that this obsession causes. The answer, dear readers, is to turn our gaze outward.
It’s safe to say that most of us have been in a situation where we’ve reacted in a way that had nothing to do with our immediate surroundings. Like that time you missed lunch and a smiley stranger walked past and you said some horrible about them under your breath. (Okay, maybe that was us.)
In reality, most of the feelings or opinions that other people have about us (if any!) are informed by things that have nothing to do with us. In an interview with The Cut, Roger Covin, a clinical psychologist and the author of The Need to Be Liked, offered this suggestion: Think of yourself as an inkblot in a Rorschach test:
What a person sees says more about them than it does the inkblot, and the same thing is true interpersonally. The very qualities that make you likable to one person are the exact same qualities that will make you unlikable to another person.
This is how someone who seems self-assured to one person comes off as arrogant to another. Or someone you think is sweet appears timid or meek to another person. In other words, it’s mostly out of your control.
Of course, none of this gives you license to be a total jerk. Because then no one will like you.

ROME (Reuters) - Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola will make her operatic debut in May, directing a new production of Giuseppe Verdi’s romantic tragedy “La Traviata”, Rome’s opera house said on Monday.
Coppola, who won the gold statuette for the screenplay of the 2003 film “Lost in Translation”, was invited to direct the production by its patron, fashion designer Valentino Garavani, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma said in a statement.
Garavani asked the American film director and producer to swap screen for stage after watching her 2006 historical drama “Marie Antoinette”, in which the theater said she balanced “the classic and the modern”.
Rome’s opera house has long played second fiddle to its northern cousin, La Scala in Milan, and was plagued for years by financial losses, infighting and labor problems.
It finally returned to break even last year after cutting costs, accepting state funds and making peace with unions.
La Traviata will be supported by Garavani’s foundation, making it the latest in a string of artistic initiatives to receive private funding after public money for the arts dwindled during Italy’s three-year-long slump that ended in 2015.
Costumes will be designed by Garavani and the two designers who took over from him at the fashion house that still bears his first name. There will be 15 shows from May 24 to June 30.

It’s after hours, and the owners of the pub have gone home. The place is hardly deserted though, as Tom and Doris meet five characters.
Bill Murphy wrote and directed this decent one-act that’s been stretched to full-length via a gratuitous second plot line. The performances are uneven, the best being Chase McKenna as the hooker with a heart of gold and David Love as her chain-smoking trick.
A cute plot twist towards what should be the end scores a plus.

I disagree with this post by a faithful reader. But I think it deserves discussion.
There are many reasons to object to privatization.
One is that there is no evidence that privately managed firms that operate public services provide more efficient or less costly service. Another is that privately managed firms, when operating for profit, extract public dollars for investors that taxpayers intended for children, for educational programs that directly benefit children, for reduced class sizes, —and not to enrich shareholders. Privately managed nonprofits often pay salaries that would be unacceptable in the public sector. Privately managed firms tend to exclude the costliest clients to minimize their own costs, thus leaving the hardest cases for the less well funded public sector agency. And last, to destroy public education, which is so inextricably linked to our notions of democracy and citizenship would be an assault on the commonweal. Let us not forget that public education has been the instrument of the great social movements for more than the past half century–desegregation, gender equality, disability rights, and the assimilation of immigrants. Once it is gone, it is gone, and that would be a crime against ourselves.
The reader writes:
“Ladd and Fiske correctly identify the four risks to the public education system of the privatization movement, but they assume that the public education system is an unqualified “good.” What if privatization produces different and better goods? Public education implements mainly a “progressive” philosophy of government. By the word “democracy” it means government control of education and almost everything else it can get its hands on. “Social justice” is the well-worn substitute term for ‘redistribute the wealth.’ I mean no name calling to point out that has been the communist agenda from the beginning and remains the communist agenda.
“The whole point of privatization, then, is to free American education from the statist agenda (which implies ‘community’ responsiblity for every individual and submission of every individual to the tyranny of the community). Most here see public education as an unmixed good. It’s opponents think otherwise, and their motives are clear.
“What is most surprising, however, is to find the Obama Education Department so staunchly behind the measures that we ALL agree are destroying the public school systems. NCLB? RTTT? CCSS? What true educator can support that testing to extinction? It baffles me why Obama/Duncan want to eliminate the public school systems when their objectives in every other area of life, especially health care, is anti individual freedom.
“Ladd and Fiske, then, are totally correct in saying that the privatization movement sees public goods as merely the sum of the individual goods arising from education. I say that is the way it should be in America. What are claimed as social goods lost by privatization are, in my view, really social “bads.” They are mainly accustoming citizens to acquiesce in state control of their lives. There’s been enough of that already.”

It’s not often that you’ll find a reason to go with a peripheral that takes up so much space but you might make an exception in this case. The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 4GB video card packs in a trio of fans to keep the temperatures low and a triple slot design that enables it to get plenty of air flowing through its heatsink. While the extra cooling can do wonders they’ve clocked the GPU a bit up to a base of 1071MHz and its boost clocking to 1137Mhz giving it even more breathing room at those high resolution and high graphics settings that gamers demand while those 4GB of memory keeps its GPU fed with all sorts of wonderful gaming data.

Wildly popular children’s brand American Girl is commemorating its 30th anniversary with a brand new doll straight out of the Civil Rights movement, CBS News reports.
Set to unveil this summer, American Girl’s newest “Be Forever” historical doll is Melody Ellison, a 9-year-old girl living in Detroit in the 1960s who loves to sing and uses her voice to contribute to the movement.
Melody is to become the company’s third African-American doll.
Senior director of global brand at American Girl, Julia Prohaska, said that the doll is debuting at this time as a reflection of cultural landscape, a decision that was well thought out.
“We do approach every character very thoughtfully so this isn’t something that we rush into,” she said. “We’re not looking to address critical demand. We’re looking to tell stories in the most authentic and genuine way.”
Melody’s character accessories comes complete with a bed and a recording studio that features music from Motown.
Historians, including the late Julian Bond, were consulted to ensure the authenticity of Melody’s story.
For more information on Melody, visit the American Girl website.

Every day is lovely when you spend time with your favorite furry friend, so your dog’s birthday requires an extra special celebration. It just seems to make sense to make your dog’s birthday one to remember as man’s best friend has been by our side through thick and thin for centuries. So here are some things you can do to guarantee your best pal has an unforgettable birthday celebration.
Make a Guestlist
You can’t throw a party without guests, and the same applies to dog parties too! So be sure to invite all your favorite family and friends, and tell them to bring along their pets too!
It is vital to ensure that your pet is happy in social situations and around other dogs and cats. Also, ensure that your other “pawsome” guests are friendly and play well with others to keep the environment friendly and fun for everyone in attendance.
Select A Dog-Friendly Venue
It is essential to pick the perfect location for your pet-friendly party. Of course, the weather will be something to consider when making this tough decision. A spacious, enclosed yard is ideal in warm weather.
If you don’t have a fenced yard, think about going to a dog-friendly beach or your local neighborhood dog park instead. You’ll need a dog-friendly location for indoor gatherings, such as a nearby doggy daycare. Whatever the setting, make sure your little furry friends can’t escape.
Tasty Treats and Doggy Birthday Cake
Without food and beverages, you won’t have the energy to party up a storm; the humans and the dogs will be eager for some tasty treats, so here are some ideas to consider.
For the humans, think about serving miniature foods like burgers, hotdogs, and sandwiches, bite-sized, just like a tasty snack your dog would drool over. Consider serving a big steel pot of food such as pasta or soup, kind of like a giant dog bowl.

If your shop says you need new cylinders, ask if it performed a borescopic inspection. Our research revealed it may be worth the effort.
Ever since the Wrights, one of the vexing problems of aircraft maintenance has been access to the nooks and crannies of the machine. Maintenance technicians have spent major portions of their lives with flashlights and mirrors peering through inspection ports trying to assure that all is well within; at significant expense, major assemblies have been unbolted and removed to allow visual inspection of their insides because of a symptom of illness—often to find that they are healthy—while the act of removal and replacement itself caused damage.

The URBAG members worked on three presentations during the EGU 2021 conference, where 18 155 scientists from 136 different countries have met. With approximately 13 000 users per day, the conference has been considered a resounding success. The sessions have been conditioned by the global Covid-19 pandemic, forcing it to be carried out in virtual format.
Trends of extreme-temperature episodes in cities are increasing (in frequency, magnitude and duration) due to regional climate change in interaction with urban effects. Urban morphologies and thermal properties of the materials used to build them are factors that influence.
A lot of good science is being presented at AGU Fall Meetting 2020. Some of the presentations are focused in the COVID-19 pandemic. The URBAG group presented a poster presentation that wants to reflect upon lessons learned from the COVID-19 mitigation measures in terms of reduced mobility and its effect on urban air pollution.

text: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of green tea extract on serum oxidant and antioxidant profile, liver and kidney function. 40 Friesian calves are included in this study and allocated into two groups: Group I (n=20) clinically healthy calves showing no clinical abnormalities, not receiving any treatment and served as control; group II (n=20) received green tea extract (GTE) for 30 days. Non-significant changes in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were detected between groups, on contrary, serum creatinine and activities of liver enzymes aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were significantly different between two groups. There were significant increases in the mean values of serum antioxidative parameters (total antioxidant capacity, catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase) in group II.

The 17-storey office building currently under construction next to the Shard has been 'topped out'.
Like the Shard, The Place has been designed by Renzo Piano and is part of the London Bridge Quarter scheme financed by the state of Qatar.
Due for completion in spring 2013, the 600,000 sq ft speculative office block is still looking for a tenants. Companies such as Google have been linked with the building.
"This is another important milestone in our £2 billion development at London Bridge Station, one of the capital's key transport hubs with more than 50 million passenger movements annually," says Irvine Sellar, whose company is developing the scheme on behalf of the Qatari majority owners.
"The Place benefits from sharing architectural, design and cultural DNA with the Shard and forms part of London's most exciting regeneration projects that will see more than 12,000 people working there when it is completed next year."
Previously dubbed the 'baby Shard' or 'Gem', The Place stands on the site formerly occupied by the Richard Siefert-designed New London Bridge House.
The newly reorganised London Bridge Bus Station sits at the foot of the building.
When completed, new escalators outside the Place will lead to an underground shopping mall.

Restaurant review #102 – A couple of weeks ago, we visited the new restaurant of Le Pain Quotidien in Bruges, which opened in 2016. Le Pain Quotidien (LPQ) is a world wide chain of organic bistros, founded by Belgian Alain Coumont. We already wrote some reviews of our visits to several LPQ restaurants (the first LPQ in Bruges, Hasselt and Louvain). Alain Coumont has also started a vegan branch of bistros, Le Botaniste, of which we visited the one in Ghent (see our review here).
The second restaurant of LPQ is located in a nice building at Simon Stevinplein, just next to the shopping street (Zuidzandstraat). There used to be a weaving factory, and the building is nicely rearranged, with seperate dining rooms and a large terrace at the back. This second location of LPQ in Bruges is much bigger than the other one, and we found it much more enjoyable to have lunch here.
As in all Le Pain Quotidien restaurants, vegan options are clearly indicated with a carrot on the menu.
This is what we ordered: Toast champignons (11,50€), olives tapenade (3,70€) toast avocado (10€), and extra lentils (3,20€) and a small soup (4,80€). For drinks we had a large fresh juice (5,30€) and a sparkling water (2,70€). So our lunch in total was 41,20€, which we found quite reasonable.
Service was very friendly and our orders came shortly. It was a bit of a hassle arranging everything on the small table, but we managed. We liked the food, although the toasts – being quite tough – are a bit unhandy to eat (difficult to cut through with a knife, but also difficult to eat with your hands!). It tasted good though.
Only disappointment was that AGAIN the bread came with cow butter, despite having ordered everything vegan (and explicitly have checked the order for being vegan). This has happened on every one of our visits to LPQ. We would really appreciate if LPQ could offer vegan butter instead (or at least don’t serve cow butter with a vegan meal)!
Toilet was nicely renovated, nice tiles and washing bassins. Walls of toilets were a bit dirty though and papers on the ground.
All in all, we had a nice light and quick lunch, in an enjoyable setting. Glad with this new addition in Bruges.

Great looking lunch. Love the pictures. My wife is a lover of all things french
Good vegan lunch
This is a nice location, part of a chain of restaurants in Belgium and they all have the proposal of vegan dishes based on salad, bread, toast…
They include things like quinoa, chickpeas, avocado, zucchini…so it’s definitely very tasty.
For the desserts it chagnes apparently from location to location.
In Bruges we just had 1 blueberry muffin and none of the cheese cakes we are used to in other locations.
Pros: Good vegan ingredients, Nice place
Cons: No RAW cheese cakes when we passed by
I didn’t even know LPQ serves raw vegan cheesecakes in some locations! Have never seen that option!

The European leaders wrote that they look forward to working with the new administration to bolster the transatlantic alliance. “As your treaty-bound allies, we appeal to Americans in the new U.S. Administration and Congress to stand firm in the defense of our common goals and interests: peace, Atlantic strength, and freedom,” they say in their letter. They warn that if Trump decides to go the other way and join forces with Putin, there will be severe negative consequences for both Europe and the United States.
Their plea to Trump is similar to an open letter that several Central and Eastern European leaders wrote to President Obama shortly after he took office in 2009. Obama pursued a “reset” of U.S. relations with Russia, which alarmed the Eastern European leaders that the European countries would lose faith in the United States and that the transatlantic relationship might be weakened.

It would help if you got the right kitchen cabinet door size to maintain the space and maneuverability around your kitchen. However, there are times when it is more desirable to replace your kitchen cabinet doors by yourself. It may be due to the high cost of labor or just a desire to see how well you can get things done. Whatever the reason, it is easy to screw things up from the beginning by getting your measurements wrong.
Your kitchen cabinet door size, like your kitchen cabinet, should be big enough to hold your kitchen wares and other things that need to be stored in the kitchen and small enough to leave adequate space in the kitchen to make it easy to move around. Usually, people are advised to follow a kitchen cabinet door size chart when they order replacement kitchen cabinet doors, but that’s unnecessary, even if it is one way.
This piece will consider the types of Kitchen cabinets, kitchen cabinet doors, and how to choose the right kitchen cabinet door size, especially when you’re looking to replace the old ones.
Types of Kitchen Cabinet
Kitchen cabinets are the furniture that serves as storage for many items used in the kitchen. They are usually made of wood and have some styles etched on them. In addition, some kitchen cabinets have solid platforms on them, doubling as countertops in the kitchen.
There are different types of kitchen cabinets, and their types depend on where they are placed in the kitchen. This also, sometimes, influences their size. The types of kitchen cabinets are:
Base Kitchen Cabinet
Base kitchen cabinets, as the name implies, are the foundation of most kitchen appliances. They usually rest on the floor and bear the weight of kitchen appliances such as dishwashers, sinks, and ranges and surfaces such as countertops.
Base kitchen cabinets are usually made to be solid and not easily affected by water. Structurally, they may have one drawer, and some shelves or drawers stacked one above the other. Depending on the structure, they may use minimal cabinet doors and more drawers. Also, it is the most space-consuming type of kitchen cabinet.
This kitchen cabinet is essential in every kitchen as it holds up many other surfaces and appliances. Therefore, utmost attention must be given to its door size during replacement.
Wall Kitchen Cabinet
Wall kitchen cabinets are kitchen storage for food items and kitchen supplies. They are usually installed about 18 inches above the countertops of the base kitchen cabinet, enough space to save its base from backsplash.
These cabinets are usually flexible in sizing and mostly respect your preference and the height of your kitchen. Its size does not readily affect your activities in the kitchen unless it is installed wrongly. Their heights vary and usually have cabinet doors instead of drawers.
Tall Kitchen Cabinet
Tall kitchen cabinets are usually free-standing kitchen cabinets used to hold food items and other kitchen supplies. It is uncommon to have all three types of cabinets in one kitchen, except in really large kitchens, but when they are present, their height usually respects the height of the kitchen.
Tall kitchen cabinets usually have double doors and can sometimes have drawers.

Kitchen Cabinet Dimensions and Sizes
Kitchen cabinet sizes vary among the different types that exist, mainly because they are placed in different places in the kitchen. Therefore, your kitchen cabinet dimension and size determine the kitchen cabinet door size. You will have to order a replacement for your old doors.
Base kitchen cabinets usually have a standard height of 34.5 to 36 inches, a width of 36 inches (although it can range between 9 and 42 inches), and a depth of 24 inches. However, you should note that the standard base kitchen cabinet door size is 24 inches. In addition, a base cabinet with three layers of drawers has the top drawer at the height of 6 inches; the same applies to a base cabinet with a combination of drawers and doors. Also, there is a toe kick of 4.5 inches.
Wall kitchen cabinets have the same depth as base cabinets, that is, 24 inches, in most cases. However, they can range from 12 to 24 inches. The standard height of wall kitchen cabinets depends on the height of the ceiling. However, it ranges from 30 to 42 inches. The width varies in multiples of three, but the standard range is between 12 and 36 inches.
The tall kitchen cabinet, also called the pantry, has a dimension of 84 to 96 inches in height – depending on how high the ceiling is and how much room you want between the ceiling and cabinet – 18 to 24 inches in width, and 12 to 24 inches in depth.
Types of Kitchen Cabinet Doors
While there are different types of kitchen cabinets, there are also different types of kitchen cabinet doors. The difference in these doors can be seen in how they close over the cabinet opening. They include:
Inset Cabinet Doors
Inset cabinet doors are made to sit perfectly into the cabinet opening. They may be single or double doors. They usually have their hinges screwed to the cabinet openings’ left and right stiles and the cabinet door’s left stile.
They have been in use for a long time but seem to be rapidly going out of fashion. However, they are easy to measure and replace.
Overlay Cabinet Doors
These cabinet doors are usually covering the opening of the cabinet instead of sitting perfectly in the opening. Instead, they rest on the overlay surrounding the cabinet opening and ensure complete protection of whatever is stored in a kitchen cabinet.
Overlay cabinet doors, also called fluted cabinet doors, are the new cabinet doors, and they mostly employ European hinges as they are more suitable for European-style cabinets.

Single Cabinet Doors
Single cabinet doors can either be inlay cabinet doors or overlay cabinet doors. They comprise a single sheet of material, usually wood, hinges – whichever type agrees with the cabinet door style – and handles. They can be used for base cabinets, wall cabinets, and pantry cabinets. Single cabinet doors completely cover a compartment of the cabinet with that single wood material.
Double Cabinet Doors
Double cabinet doors protect the stored kitchen items in the cabinet by using two separate doors. The doors are usually alternate, and they close so that the handles are side by side.
Although some may argue that it is not a door, it performs the same function as the regular cabinet doors. Drawer fronts are the visible parts of a drawer when they have been closed. They protect the drawer’s content as part of the cabinet and can be subject to change as much as cabinet doors.
Drawer fronts are usually simple and can be inset or overlay, just like cabinet doors. While some are functional, others, called false drawer front, can be only decorative.
How to Measure for the Right Kitchen Cabinet Door Size.
Measuring a door isn’t supposed to be a tricky thing. However, it would be best to get accurate measurements when you have to make the measurements and send them to a factory where a custom-size door will be made for your cabinets.
Generally, you will need a measuring tape and writing materials to measure the right kitchen cabinet door size. You can measure your old cabinet doors and use the exact dimensions for your new doors.
All you have to do is measure the width of the door by placing the beginning of the measuring tape at one of the vertical sides of the door and stretch it to the other end. Ensure that it reaches the tip. Then, record the measurement. Repeat the same process for measuring the height. Only this time, make the tip of your measuring tape rest on the horizontal and short part of the door while you stretch it to the other end.
While this is an easy way to get your measurements done for a replacement cabinet door, there is a chance that your door may have been chipped at the edges, making your measurements wrong. However, there are other ways to get the measurements right.
Alternatively, you can use the cabinet itself instead of the door. You will have to measure the cabinet openings to get the right door size for your cabinet.
Measure the width of the cabinet from the inside of the left stile. That means you should start your measurement from the left side. The left stile is the vertical part of the cabinet where the edge of the door will most likely rest. Take your measurement from the left stile to the right style, and record it.
Do the exact measurement for the height of the cabinet, starting from the bottom stile and measuring to the top stile. Record the measurement.
These simple steps will help you get accurate measurements for inset cabinet doors and frameless cabinets. It is also great for a single door on cabinets. So, how do you measure for double doors and cover for the overlay of the cabinet doors?
The overlays of cabinets are usually about 0.5 inches; therefore, it is easy to add 1 to each measurement you have recorded. For example, if you measured the width x height of the cabinet door to be 12×24 inches when you add the overlays, it becomes 13×25 inches.
How to Measure for Double Cabinet Doors
Double doors usually require more overlay than single cabinet doors. Also, measuring the cabinet doors opening differs from how it is done in single doors.
- Measure the width of the opening from the left stile to the right stile.
- Measure the height of the opening from the bottom stile to the top stile.
- Add 1 inch to the measurement result of the width and height of the opening.
- Divide the figure you get by two. This means each half of the double door gets half of the actual figure you get before division.
For inset double doors, you can disregard the last two steps.
Kitchen cabinets are an important part of the kitchen and are usually installed with utmost regard to the floor plan of the kitchen and the height of the ceiling. There are different types of kitchen cabinets, and each type has its peculiarity. However, the commonest and foundational of them all is the base kitchen cabinet.
Because kitchen cabinets are made from wood, the most exposed part to human contact is the door. This means kitchen cabinet doors have to be changed at one point. To do this, one needs to have an accurate measurement of the cabinet opening and the overlay, in some cases, to have the right kitchen cabinet doors.
The simple steps to measure for all types of kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts are provided in the article.

Sustainable places are enduring, resilient and adaptable. They are places that stand the test of time, providing every resident with a high quality of life today without harming our ability to do the same for future generations.
Sustainable places are VIBRANT, with activity centers that offer a rich mix of amenities and housing choices, with easy access to jobs, services and recreation. They are CONNECTED by transportation corridors that accommodate different modes of travel — walking, biking, transit and auto. They are GREEN, respecting and preserving the natural environment while promoting healthy lifestyles and healthy residents.
Places are most successful when they simultaneously enhance economic productivity, social equity and environmental quality. These three dimensions — known as the triple bottom line — do not have to be traded off one for the other. With careful planning, we can enhance all three and create more sustainable places.
The CSP initiative includes plans and demonstration projects in six key corridors in the Kansas City region: State Avenue, North Oak, U.S. 40, Rock Island, Central City and Shawnee Mission.
These corridors are all part of the Smart Moves regional transit plan and are a key focus of other transit investments, including the federal TIGER grant. Learn more>
A wide variety of tools are available to help participants visualize possibilities, communicate with each other and with community stakeholders, understand the impact of development proposals and make informed community decisions. We've created a digital toolbox with links to some of the most widely used and most effective tools. Learn more>
Indicators and measurements tell the story about what we’ve accomplished and where we are headed. As part of the CSP initiative, we're developing a set of indicators to track the region’s progress towards becoming more sustainable and help quantify whether or not our actions are truly creating a vibrant, connected and green region.

POPE JOHN Paul has covered three Asian countries in the past three days and departs for New Zealand tomorrow on the second leg of his marathon 14 day progress through Australasia.
Leaving Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport on Tuesday, he flew first to Dacca, the capital of Bangladesh, then on to Singapore, and then Fiji. "The jet age apostle" as some have called him will cover 34,000 miles on the longest pilgrimage of his reign. "Pray for me on my journey" he appealed to pilgrims in St Peter's Square on Sunday.
In Bangladesh, Pope John Paul was greeted by the President, General Ershad. After saying Mass in the national stadium on Wednesday afternoon he travelled to the national monument at Savar and then on to meetings with leaders of all religions at the home of Archbishop Michael Rozario of Dacca. The high level of poverty and social deprivation as well as the need for improved interfaith relations were major themes to emerge in the Pope's principal addresses.
'Genocide' in Bangladesh see page two Plans for his arrival in New Zealand tomorrow and then in Australia on Monday have not been altered at all, a papal official assured the Catholic Herald, because of newspaper protests about the Pope's views on the ordination of women in both countries.
In New Zealand, the eight year old lay community of St Clare's placed full page open letters in major daily newspapers focussing on the need for the Church to rethink its view on the ordination of women, on the admission of divorced and remarried to the sacraments, and on the desire of the local church in New Zealand to inculturate the gospel "rather than express a sort of Roman colonialism".
In Australia too, similar demands have been voiced by the Women-Church Movement, an ecumenical group based in Sydney. Again they used the press to make public their stance.
The Pope will spend eight days crossing Australia.
A full account of the Pope's visit to Australia will appear in the Catholic Herald over the next two weeks from Alan McElwain, our correspondent in Australia.

By Jeanne Newby
"Ancestors, Legends and Time" is a column in the weekly publication of the Webb City Sentinel Newspaper by Jeanne Newby.
I have been writing this column since October of 1989. This book contains a selected number of the weekly stories that I have researched and printed concerning the history of Webb City and the surrounding area.
Webb City is such a special place with a wonderful past. I hope future generations will appreciate their heritage. I don't claim to be an expert about Webb City's history, just an interested bystander with a love for local history. If there are flaws in the information, please be understanding. History changes with each passing day as tomorrow becomes yesterday and the future is soon the past.
I really enjoy reliving those "Good Ole Days"! I hope you have as much fun reading this book as I did putting it together.
Sincerely, Jeanne Newby
Printed in September, 2003
This book is dedicated to the citizens of Webb City and the surrounding area and to those who share the love of our historical background. I would like to thank the many special people who helped me with the research, the people who trusted me with their treasured photographs and those who were so generous to give me such wonderful treasures of Webb City's past.
A special thanks to Bob Foos and Laurie Shaffer, who gave me a chance and the confidence that I needed. And thanks to the special ones that kept after me as I procrastinated in getting this book compiled. The list of friends and supporters is too long to mention, but you all know who you are and I hope you know how important you are to me.
Much of the information in this book is due to the foresight of many people who wrote their personal histories or kept memories of special events. Businesses who kept historical files and legends that have been kept alive from one generation to the next have been a treasure trove. It is our responsibility to record our personal history for the future generations.
A special thanks to my husband who was my major support in getting this book completed and who put up with many late nights of listening to the click of computer keys. And thanks to Maxine Miller (deceased) who always reminded me to "keep it clean and you will never have to be ashamed!"
Many of the special people who helped me with my column throughout the years have passed on, but they will never be forgotten. Their stories are in print forever! I feel a special closeness to each one and I can't thank them enough for taking time to share memories and information.
A Brief History of Webb City
Printed 2002 in the Webb City Area Chamber of Commerce Business Directory Destiny stepped in that bright sunny day in June 1873 when John C. Webb walked the half-mile to his field to do some plowing. As the plow dug through the rich soil, a bright shiny rock surfaced with the turn of the dirt. As the sunlight bounced off the rock, it seemed to come alive in Webb's hand. He knew what he held in his hand. There had been quite a commotion to the south in Granby and Joplin, where lead had been discovered, but Webb wasn't sure he wanted to turn his farm over to the mining frenzy he'd heard about. He set that rock aside for about a year, until the fall of 1874, when a man named Murrell talked Webb into digging a hole. Because of many complications with water filling the shaft, Murrell gave up and sold his share of the mine to W.A.Daugherty for $25.
A very smart young man named Grant Ashcraft, stepped in with some ideas on how to control the water. Webb leased the land to Daugherty and Ashcraft, and within two days, Ashcraft uncovered a 1,000-pound chunk of lead. That was the beginning of the Center CreekMining Company, which eventually shipped more than $13 million worth of ore all over the world.
The word spread and miners moved into the area from around the world. The town of Webbville had begun. Within a few years, the city needed to incorporate to establish some law and order. The town was platted on December 15, 1875 with Webb reserving one block for a church and a school. On December 8, 1876, Webb City was incorporated under the statutes of the State of Missouri.
Webb City was the center of the lead and mining district of southwest Missouri. There was more lead and zinc mined within a radius of 3 1/2 miles than any other similar area in the world. From 1894 to 1904, the mines produced $23 million worth of ore. During the First World War, at it's mining peak, there were over 50 mines in operation around Webb City.
The wooden buildings were soon replaced with brick, some three stories high. Webb City boasted of paved streets, electric lights, good water works, a complete sewer system, two telephone companies and the best-equipped interurban electric railway in the west, connecting Webb City with the surrounding towns in every direction. There were 18 churches of different denominations, a reliable fire department, an Opera House seating 1,500 and many beautiful homes. There were two railroad depots, four banks, and a YMCA.
Many businesses were established during the beginning years of Webb City, some of which are still in existence today. The Webb City Sentinel was established in 1879, the Webb City Bank was established in 1882 by John C. Webb and his son E.T. Webb. The Webb Corporation incorporated in 1895.
After World War I, the mining industry declined because of the low price of ore and the discovery of Oklahoma ore pockets. Webb City's enterprising citizens, led by the Chamber of Commerce, turned to industry and brought many factories into town. Webb City had a leather factory, shirt factory, shoe factory, cigar factory, box factory, and a casket manufacturer. In 1920, Webb City attained the distinction of increasing her industries more than any other city in the United States, with an increase of 250 percent.
Another prominent feature in Webb City's growth and national recognition was the gravel industry. Countless tons of gravel, chat, and sand have been shipped to every state in the Union for building roads, forming ballast for railroads, as well as concrete and stucco construction.
Webb City put great energy and zeal into establishing one of the best school districts in the state. From the very beginning, the citizens of Webb City have shown loyalty to their schools by voting for the money necessary to keep pace with progress in education and the rapidly increasing demand for teachers and larger buildings.
As we take this journey into Webb City's past, we see the building blocks that have formed this wonderful community. A town that is noted for it's amazing school system, continuing growth, community pride, great leadership, and proud heritage.
Pioneers "Name dropping"
Published September 2001
As Mining Days begins the celebration of Webb City's 125th birthday, it seems only right that we do a little name-dropping! Here are a few names from Webb City's past with a short biography to remind us of the wonderful forefathers who helped establish our town.
Of course, we can't drop names without mentioning John C. Webb, the founder of (Webbville) Webb City. Webb moved here from Tennessee in 1856, uncovered a chunk of lead in 1873, and established the town of Webb City in 1876. Webb built the first brick house, the first brick business building, the first hotel. John and his son E.T. Webb started the first bank of Webb City in 1882.
W.A. Daugherty lived just SW of John C. Webb on what is now Colonial Road. He stepped in to get a piece of the mining action when Webb and a friend, Murrell got discouraged with trying to mine the first mine shaft in what would soon become Webb City. Daugherty also became the founder of Carterville. He built the first home in Carterville other than the Carter farmhouse, which was located way out on the backside (northeast) of what would soon become Carterville.
Granville P. Ashcraft was known as the "man of first" in Webb City. He was in partnership with W.A. Daugherty and they were first to uncover a large chunk of lead in what would become Webb City, bringing up 15,000 pounds the first week. He was the first to market the lead and first to ship it out. His daughter Bernice was the first child born in the new incorporated town of Webb City. He built the first frame house in Webb City (located where the Senior Citizen Building is located) as John C. Webb and Daugherty were living in log cabins at the time. Ashcraft also purchased the first automobile in Webb City.
James O'Neill came to Webb City in 1879 at the age of 43. He had become quite wealthy in the Pennsylvania oil fields by investing in land rich in petroleum. He began investing in land in Jasper County and Kansas and once again, struck it lucky. He decided to take on a new business against all of his friends' advice. He started the Webb City Water Works. Once again, his investment paid off. He was also built the Newland Hotel.
Elijah Lloyd came to this area from Kentucky in 1867. He was a civil engineer, worked for the railroad and did surveying. Assisted in laying out the town of Joplin in 1871, then he was employed by John C. Webb in 1874 to survey and plot a town, which would be called Webbville. He leased a mine in 1874, struck payload in 1882.
James E. McNair had the distinction of being the first executive officer (Mayor) of Webb City. A position he held for one month and two days before being honored with the position of the first Postmaster. Before moving to Webb City in 1875, McNair had served on the legislature of Tennessee, elected as a delegate to the Southern Loyalists convention and worked for the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway as a bridge carpenter. He built Mr. Webb a home at what are now Tom and Daugherty streets.
George W. Ball came to town without a penny to his name or shoes on his feet but with a dream to strike it rich. It didn't take him long to realize that only the mine owners got rich, not the miners. He was offered a mine that kept flooding. He corrected the leak and struck it rich. He built a beautiful home on the SW corner of Daugherty and Washington.
A.H. Rogers established a horse-drawn street car line from Carterville to Webb City and then in 1893, he consolidated with the Joplin Electric Railway and the Jasper County Electric and established the Southwest Missouri Railway which took miners as far away as Oklahoma.
Jane Chinn was well known for her donation to the city that allowed the construction and furnishing of the Jane Chinn Hospital. But Elizabeth Jane Webb Stewart Chinn was a strong independent lady who had a sharp business mind. She owned several mines and invested in many more.
Thomas F. Coyne came to Webb City in 1876 with his parents. He attended the Sedalia Business College and began working at the W.C. Bank. He soon realized that to become wealthy meant owning a prosperous mine. Coyne began investing and soon became one of Webb City's wealthy people. He opened the Coyne Lumber Company which was located at 308 Main (Broadway) and one in Miami, Oklahoma. His success in business is attributed to the fact that he was a fair man. His home was located on the SW corner of Ball and Broadway.
James A. Daugherty was the son of W.A. Daugherty and he was helping his father farm the land, which is now Carterville, when they discovered that the farmland was loaded with ores and minerals. Although his father owned the mines, it was James' brains behind the successful mines. James donated generously to the W.C. College. He became a business partner with W.S. Gunning in the mining and mill business. Several well-known family names united with James A. Daugherty's children. His daughter Nancy married W.A. Corl; his daughter Myrtle married C.R. Chinn, Jr.
There have been many more well known names in W.C. history such as A.D. Hatten,Judge Watson, H. Hulett, C.E. Matthews, George W. Moore, J. C. Stewart, and many more too numerous to mention. There isn't enough room to put all the wonderful names that add up to Webb City.
Have a great time at the Mining Days 125th Birthday Party and take a moment to remember those who have left us with such a wonderful legacy!
"Boom town drew many hoping to get rich"
Published October 12, 2001
W.L. Hatcher came from a fairly large family. He had four brothers, Anthony, Grover, Roland, and George. Two sisters in the midst of the five boys were Mollie and Dora. W.L. Hatcher and his wife Mary were living in Arkansas when they made a very important decision in their lives… they were ready to move and start a new life. They loaded up their family of two daughters and two sons and journeyed north to Missouri, settling in the pleasant community of Webb City. The year was 1918.
W.L. Hatcher was a carpenter by trade and he found contentment in this small town that provided a warm environment for his family to flourish. Their home at 409 S. Tom was the gathering place for the family, even as they headed out into the world to start their own families.
One of W.L.'s sons, George Hatcherfound employment with Hercules PowderCompany. George and his wife Mazie had two children Phyllis Hope Hatcher Trent and Jack Hatcher; (does that name sound familiar?). George and Mazie lived in the family home at 409 S. Tom after the death of George's father in 1928 and raised their own family.
After the death of George and Maizie, Jack continued to live in the family home until just recently when Jack made the move to the high-rise.
William Henry Aul was born in Pennsylvania, July 7, 1864. At the age of 18, young Aul made the journey from Pennsylvania to the booming Tri-State mining fields to make his fortune. He helped to develop the Webb City-Carterville-Oronogo Fields. He eventually opened his own company, the W.H. Mining Company.
In 1888, W.H. married Miss Martha Francis Vaughn in Webb City. They purchased a home at 325 South Oronogo, just across the street east from the old Eugene Field school house which was located on the northwest corner of Oronogo and Fourth Street.
The Auls had two daughters, Lula (May), and Murl E. Webb City didn't hold fond memories for the Aul family. In 1908, sixteen year old May Aul committed suicide in the Eugene Field outhouse by shooting herself in the chest and running home to fall at her mother's feet on their front porch.
At her sister's dying request, Murl Aul married her sweetheart, Loraine E. Johnson. The invitations had been sent out two weeks previously. After lingering for 56 hours, May passed away during the wedding ceremony, but Murl was not told of her sister's demise until after the wedding.
The Aul's eventually bought a home in Joplin at 101 S. Conner and both lived to be in their late 70's.
Young James Barnes worked in the Sunflower mine north of Carterville. On a Thursday in 1911, 23-year old James had a rough night when he dreamed a boulder fell down a shaft and hit him in the head. The dream was so vivid, that James mentioned it to his wife and a friend at work the next morning.
Later on that day, James, who normally worked as a shoveler, was told to work the tub hooker's place. A little while later a bucket fell down the shaft, just missing James. He laughingly remarked, "Well, that's the end of my dream!" At 2:55 PM, a boulder fell from the tub that James was working with and struck him in head, ending his life, just as he had dreamed the night before.
Jerry Clark came from a very large family. His father, Thomas Clark and his mother, Nancy Combs had twelve children and at the time of their deaths, they had one hundred and forty grandchildren plus great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. And Jerry's maternal grandmother lived to the ripe age of 108 years.
Jerry managed to get a good education and even attended a private school in Arkansas for one year in 1868. After his graduation, Jerry taught school for one year, decided that wasn't what he was cut out to be and tried his hand at farming as his father had done before him.
In 1871, Jerry heard about the mining going on in Granby. He decided that might be the line of work he would like to try. Eventually heading into Webb City as the mining excitement began. He proved to be very talented in the mining business. He became a third partner in the Maud B. mine and a second partner in the Mosley mine. The Maud B. turned out to be a wealthy investment and Jerry became financially comfortable.
Jerry and his wife Elizabeth Jones Clark had a daughter Roxie May who was born in Webb City in 1876 and graduated from Webb City High school. Roxie married a druggist by the name of R.M. Jones. Thus having the same name as her mother's maiden name.
The Clarks were well known in Webb City and thought of in the highest regard. Jerry continued his good success in the mining industry.
John Wesley Earles was in partnership with Jerry Clark in the ownership of the Maude B. mine. John was a schoolteacher in Ohio until he enlisted in the Civil War and served under General Sherman. He never missed a skirmish and quickly rose from Private to Captain. Even being wounded twice, Earles remained in service until his honorable discharge in 1864. He returned home to Ohio and was elected Sheriff for two years and in 1867 was appointed United States Deputy Marshall, a position he also held for two years. He then headed to Kansas to try his hand at farming and finally came to Jasper County and got involved in mining. His investment in the Maud B. Mine was his best move.
"The Webb City Name Game"
Published August 27, 1999 Names are with us forever. Some folks are remembered long after they have left this earth, usually because something is named after them or someone is named after them and the name carries on.
When we hear the name, John C. Webb, most of us know that he was the founder of Webb City, built the first brick building, established the first bank and of course uncovered a chunk of ore, between Webb City and Carterville, right about where the railroad tracks are located on the south side of the road.
If you hear the name of E.T. Webb, you think of that little alien in the movie "E.T." or you think of John Webb's son. And when you think of John's son, you can't help but think of that beautiful house behind the Central Methodist Church at Liberty and Broadway streets. E.T. also was in the banking business with his father. E.T. gained national fame with his collection of valuable paintings.
W.A. Daugherty, brings to mind the street that runs east and west through Webb City and continues on into Carterville. Daugherty lived on what is now Colonial Drive in the Corl home, and he went into the mining business with John C. Webb. He also bought land from Carter and started a little town, which appropriately named Carterville.
There are many names that I could "drop" such as: A.D. Hatten, Colonel James O'Neill, George Ball, J.C. Stewart, J.P. Stewart, W.S. Chinn, Joseph Aylor, C.E. Matthews, Andrew McCorkle, Colonel A.A. Hulett, S.L.Manker, C.M. Manker, W.A. Ashcraft, Grant Ashcraft, W.S. Gunning, George Bruen, J.M. Burgner, H.C.Humphreys, E.E. Spracklen, W.A. Corl, G.F. Corl, W.E. Patten, L.J. Stevison, S.H. Veatch, James Roney and many more.
I could go on and on with names that depicts the history of Webb City. And believe me, I really could go on for many more pages, as it is one of my favorite subjects.
But I also want to do a little name dropping of a different type. If you heard the name George W. Waring, would you know that he was a Webb City citizen who became nationally known as a chemist? "Keeping up with the Jones" might be a little tough if you are competing with Elmer T. Jones, a one time Webb City Citizen who became the president of the WellsFargo Company.
Judge Ray Watson and Captain Fred Nesbitt were distinguished in World War service. Mrs. Rosine Morris Bachrach hailed from Webb City, but most folks didn't know it as they listened to her play for the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
Webb City's very own Zoe Thralls wrote several Geography books, some even used for the schools. (I wonder how you go about writing a geography book? Do you travel or do you go by old maps?) Either way, she helped put Webb City "on the map".
Robert Landrum was a tenor soloist on the National broadcasting system of New York City. I know that we have many young people who have gone on to become great singers and entertainers or great newspaper reporters, television correspondents and many other careers that seem rather glamorous. But we know that many long and hard hours go into making those careers.
A great botanist, Ernest Jesse Palmer who was a professor at Harvard, became well known when he wrote a couple of books. One was called "Catalogue of Plants in Jasper County," and he co-wrote "A Catalogue of All Known Plants of Missouri".
We've had a few inventors from Webb City and some wonderful artists who still reside in Webb City. There are musicians, actors, singers, and businessmen who have made a name for themselves and still call Webb City their hometown.
And as Webb City continues to grow, there are many who have made their fame and fortune elsewhere, but who have decided to settle in Webb City and call it home. It doesn't matter if you were born here or were a transplant, Webb City is proud to have such wonderful citizens.
***Additional information on Ernest Jesse Palmer He once maintained a herbarium in Webb City that contained 20,000 species. He published a book of poetry in 1958 when he was 83 years of age.
John Cornwall Webb
"Webb began in log cabin"
Published May 17, 1991 Those of us who have lived in the city most of our lives, find it hard to imagine what it must have been like for John C. Webb and his wife, Ruth, to come to this area in 1856 and only see land as far as the eye could see. It must have been a beautiful sight, because Webb decided that this was where he wanted to raise his family.
Webb's first project after obtaining the land was to build a log cabin for shelter. Cabins in those days were made from unhewn logs, usually from the trees that were cut down on the land to allow for the planting. The roof was made from clapboards, held in place by heavy boards. Clapboards were thin narrow boards with one end thicker than the other. Nails were used only when absolutely necessary. Nails were made by hand and were too expensive to use if you had other means to serve the purpose.
Stone wasn't readily available; so most chimneys were made of mud and sticks. But, Webb was able to uncover enough stones on his land to eventually replace his chimney.
It was many years before glass windows were added to cabins. Transporting glass was tricky business. Glass could be obtained in St. Louis, but that was an eight-week trip by horseback and even longer by wagon. It wasn't a very gentle ride either.
As more and more families moved into the area, cabins became fancier. You know, even in those days, everyone was concerned about "keeping up with the Jones." One marked sign of "aristocracy" was whether your cabin had a dirt or wooden floor.
This area was the perfect place to live. There was plenty of prairie land for the farmer and timbered land for the hunter. Wild game included deer, turkey, squirrel, rabbits, and small birds, not to mention lots of rivers for fishing and traveling.
We owe a lot to those hardy pioneers who were adventurous enough to make that journey into the unknown. And we should be grateful that they had the endurance to withstand many obstacles and determination to make something of the land. So, this week, I give special thanks to all those men and women who left family and security to venture into a new world. They have a special place in our hearts and in our history.

When BMW set out to create its new all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), the iX, it approached the design with the same uncompromising philosophy it applies to every new vehicle it creates. Aside from its sustainable electric powertrain, it would need to perform just as well as – if not better than – any other BMW in the lineup. After years of research and refinement, Canadian drivers can now experience the result: the new 2022 BMW iX xDrive50. A game-changing vehicle for the German luxury brand, in addition to expressive design, 516 hp, and an estimated range of up to 475 km, the new iX is packed with cutting-edge technology, like, a single-piece panoramic glass roof with electrochromic shading, the BMW Curved Display, and iDrive 8. Among its most impressive features, however, (and one that Canadians, in particular, will appreciate) is BMW’s intelligent electric xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The benefits of all-wheel drive in wet, snowy, and icy conditions are well known, but thanks to a host of new technologies and the versatility of an all-electric powertrain, the new BMW iX xDrive50 is designed to exceed expectations on the road. This innovative new xDrive system is powered by two independent electric motors – one at the front wheels and another at the rear – bringing a higher level of precision and efficiency not possible with combustion-engine technology. The electric xDrive system is fully variable, which means it can split torque as needed from pure rear-wheel drive (its most efficient mode) to all-wheel-drive, providing maximum traction when needed. While drivers can manually select which mode they prefer, the iX will also automatically adjust its drive mode and power delivery according to road conditions, leaving you free to concentrate on driving.
Unlike a traditional combustion engine, the cutting-edge electric motors powering the iX can deliver near-instantaneous power to maximize all-wheel drive performance. Created specifically to suit electric powertrains, BMW’s new traction control system quickly and precisely coordinates corrective inputs on both front and rear wheels, ensuring the iX has extra traction when it’s needed, and maximum efficiency the rest of the time.
While the all-wheel-drive system in BMW’s iX xDrive50 is designed to make for a smooth and safe ride in all driving conditions, it doesn’t disappoint where performance is concerned. The iX’s powerful electric motors and traction control system enables impressive straight-line acceleration, even on slippery surfaces. A DSC system selectively applies the brakes on individual wheels to optimize directional stability. In SPORT mode, iX drivers can configure and adjust their desired degree of wheel slip, allowing them to fully experience the vehicle’s pulse-pounding performance. It’s a fun exercise for iX owners, but it also proves that BMW has achieved exactly what it set out to do: to create an EV that’s as nimble and stylish as it is sustainable.

Why aren't my hostas happy?
Published 5:30 am, Sunday, October 25, 2009
Q: A few years ago I planted hostas in a shady area. I have divided them yearly and now have a nice display. This year I had less flowers and some leaves turned yellow. There also appears to be something chewing the foliage. — J.O., Houston
A: I've found hostas flower best with a bit of sun. Morning sun is ideal. The wretched summer was especially hard, but with more moderate temperatures and rain, hopefully the plants will perk up. Yellowing foliage is a symptom of too much or too little water or simply moisture fluctuation. Evenly moist soil and some mulch discourage swings. Check for snails/slugs. I'd give them an application of organic fertilizer, if needed. Fish emulsion is good.

A mum left a heartbreaking 'suicide note' in an emotional mobile phone video before she threw herself into a river.
Mum-of-one Jasleen Kaur recorded the harrowing footage before she took the drastic action to end her own life.
The 30-year-old, who leaves behind her four-year-old child, said she was ending her life because she claimed her in-laws would not let her live with her husband of five years.
She then threw herself into the River Ganges in northern India.
Her husband, Mika, has denied the claims and said and says his wife was depressed because she had failed an exam to become an accountant.

Snoring, Sleep and airways – what is going on?
This video addresses the scientific nature of the process of sleep and what happens when your airways are blocked. Snoring is an effect of the soft palette vibrating during sleep, and in some instances the soft palate may engulf the airway causing a complete block in the airway and a sudden jerk back to consciousness from sleep.
When you breathe air travels through you nose down the throat, through the windpipe and into your lungs. The narrowest path into that pathway is into the back of your throat, when you are awake muscles keep that path way relatively wide open, but when you sleep those muscles relax allow the opening to narrow. The air passing through this narrow opening may cause the of the pallet to vibrate – this causes snoring.
In some people the throat closes so much that enough air cannot get through to the lungs. When this happens the brain sends an alarm to open the air way. Most often this is associated with a brief arousal from sleep. The brain quickly reactivates the muscles that holds the throat open that allows the air to pass through again and the brain goes back to sleep. This order is called obstructive sleep apnea. Procedures to stiffen or to shorten the soft palette can improve snoring. Procedures that open the airway at the back of the throat can improve sleep apnea.

With developments cropping up in the heart of Lincolnshire , village officials are looking to build a new "pocket park" for residents at a time when they've been thinking about how to make the area friendly to pedestrians.
The proposed half-acre sitting park between Indian Creek and a retention pond would feature benches for residents, landscaping and smaller playground pieces for children situated near the Lincolnshire Marketplace shopping center and other retailers around the 400 block of Milwaukee Avenue, officials said.
Village Manager Brad Burke said the idea for a pocket park started in 2012, when village board members discussed the concept as the development of the Fresh Market grocery store, 475 Milwaukee Ave., got under way.
"We also have a number of nearby residential condo units, and this park will provide open space and park space," he said.
Village board members could vote to approve the $265,320 park project during their meeting Monday, Burke said.
If approved, crews could break ground on the project in the spring and have it constructed for residents by late summer or the fall, depending on weather conditions, said Wally Dittrich, assistant public works manager and village engineer for Lincolnshire.
"It's a place where people can sit and relax, as opposed to athletic fields and playground equipment," Dittrich said. "This is unique compared to other parks in Lincolnshire."
Colored concrete, brick edging and bicycle racks also would be installed as part of the project, as well as the installation of a synthetic surface underneath the play area.
The project also is being planned with future development in mind, officials said.
As the area around the Lincolnshire Marketplace develops, village officials would look to build sidewalks near the proposed park that could connect to other sidewalks on Milwaukee Avenue and Olde Half Day Road, where a walking trail leads to the Vernon Area Public Library.
The plan would make the area more connected for pedestrians throughout town, Dittrich said.
"We've been working with brokers to get this area developed," he said. "We're thinking the new Culver's restaurant will help do this."
A new Culver's fast-food restaurant is planning to open Monday near the Fresh Market within the Lincolnshire Marketplace, potentially driving more traffic to the area, village officials have said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The goal is to make sure Bahamians have a Merry Christmas.
- St. Pete church group taking holiday cheer to Bahamas
- Report: Dorian inflicted $3.4B losses on Bahamas
- HELPING DORIAN VICTIMS: Tampa Bay area relief efforts, donations sites
- HOW TO HELP: http://salvationarmybahamas.org/
A local church traveled from St. Petersburg to Nassau Wednesday morning on a plane full of supplies for the people devastated by Hurricane Dorian earlier this year.
The group from St. Joseph Catholic Church said they wanted to wait until Christmas to collect the items to let the people there know they haven’t been forgotten.
Hurricane Dorian leveled parts of the island when it made landfall on September 1st as a Cat 5 storm, killing dozens of people.
“Often times, when these events leave the news, it leaves people’s minds. They’re not thinking about what has happened, but I believe we have a responsibility to reach those and so we stand with them, and we join with them, and let them know they are loved and cared for especially at Christmas time,” said Father Stephan Brown.
Father Brown and members of the church loaded the small plane on Wednesday.
The group raised over $5000.
They’re bringing food, water, medical supplies, and Christmas gifts for the kids in the Bahamas.
