Nathan Prince and Hillsman King
I am looking for Nathan and Elizabeth Prince who are 70 and 62 on the 1880 Independence Co., AR census. They are from Franklin Co, TN. On the 1880 census living with them is Hillsman King aged 21 who is their grandson. I am looking for the children of Nathan Prince and especially the parents of Hillsman King and most especially who Hillsman's father was. Hillsman was also living with Nathan Prince in 1870 in Independence Co, AR. Does anyone have the 1860 Independence Co, AR to see if Hillsman King can be found living with his parents aged about 1 year old? Does anyone have access to Independence Co, AR marriages to look for a marriage between a Prince woman and a King man? I would suspect the marriage took place about 1857/58. Thank you for any help you may give.

I am looking for William Smart born 1850. He was married to Martha Cordelia Lassiter, born 1858. So far I find them on 3 census for Independence Co. 1880, 1900 and 1920. Possibly 1910 too. They had 14 children that I know of. I do not have all of the names. The names that I do have are as follows: Minnie, born 1876, Clementine, born 1878, Bertie Belle, born in 1881, John Henry, born 1883, Claude, born 1884, Margaret Ellen, born 1888, Blythe, born 1897, Louestella, born 1898, and Georgia, born 1903. So there are 5 children that I do not have names for...if someone can fill in those blanks that would be great! Also I am trying to find out where William Smart came from, who is parents are and any siblings he may have had. I have not been able to find a marriage certificate for William and Martha nor have I been able to find out exactly when they died or where they are buried. I don't know where their dead children are buried either (other than the ones that lived to old age). I am told that we have Native American blood...Cherokee as far as I know. I am not sure exactly how it comes in but only that it is there. I know it comes through the Lassiter side somewhere along the way but it is possible that it comes through the Smart side as well. The townships that these folks show up in are White River Township 1900, Craig Township, 1920 census, Greenbriar Township, I think that is where they were on the 1880 census. If my memory serves me correctly I think one of my relatives has them showing up in 1910 in White River as well. I am not sure where exactly Craig Township is since it is not on my township map. I suspect it got pulled into another township eventually and is no more... Any information would be much appreciated and I am willing to share any and all info with folks as well.

Seeking information on Calvin C Haddock (b 1/7/1845 Pitt Co. N.C. d 2/28/1927) and Virginia Eliza Nesbitt (b 4/1/1849 Indep.Co. AR d 1/24/1937) Haddock. I know they were living in Independence Co. Arkansas as all their children were born there: Margaret AV, Cordelia Caroline, Virginia E, Elizabeth E "Lizzie," Tommie Ann, Ruth L, William David, Kathryn "Katie," Nesbitt...all Haddock children of course. Virginia and Calvin were married 12/30/1866 in Independence Co. Arkansas - Gainsboro Township. I know that Calvin was in the Civil War as he made application for his confederate pension in 7/23/1925. He was in E company under Jim Fetzer, 45th Cavalry, Col. Baber. He was later transferred to McRea's Brigade, Fagans Division some time in 1864 in ARK & MO. They must have moved from Independence Co. AR to TX in or around 1901 as on the application for Confederate Pension he says he has lived in TX 24 yrs. Calvin's first wife would have been: Sarah Bunch Wilson What I am trying to find out is: If anyone can tell me what the "C" in Calvin's middle name stood for. Virginia Eliza - who were her parents? I do know from Census records her father came from Texas and her mother from North Carolina and that they obviously came to Independence Co. Arkansas if she was born there but I do not know their names. I know she had a brother living with her and Calvin - on the census report it states a Thomas Nesbitt -21- brother in law was living in the household. Any help would be appreciated and information someone might have that I don't mention would be very appreciated.

BROWN surname. I am researching the family of Ebenezer Brown with a last known residence of Fairview, Arkansas. Ebenezer (b. 1807, d. 1872) migrated from Stewart County, Tennessee about 1849 to Independence county with his wife, Susan (b, 1897 KY, d. bef 1830) and their children Thomas G., Marcus J., Margaret, James A.J., Elizabeth, William Franklin, Sarah T., George M.D., Martha V., and Emila. All children were born in Tennessee. After arriving in Arkansas, wife Susan, died and Ebenezer married Nancy Morrow in 1857. They had one child, Nicholas L. Brown (b. 1859). Second wife, Nancy, died and Ebenezer married for a third time to Sarah Maria (Wilson) Roe. They had three children, Thomas Allison, Etna S., and Julius Brown. I am trying to connect the above family to another Brown family out of Jackson County. Would be happy to exchange information with anyone researching this family.

I am looking for descendants and relations of Independence County AK citizens THOMAS E. CARTER (b. 23 Oct 1824), BENJAMIN, ISAAC, and MORGAN MAGNESS, and W. T. NESBIT (b.28 May 1860), that were listed in Goodspeed's History of Independence County. I have more information to add to W. T. Nesbit's bio - such as him being president of the Sulphur Rock R.R. Co. (one mile long and horse drawn), and accomplishments after moving from Independence Co. to Fayetteville, AK in 1896 and retiring to San Antonio TX in 1915. He also had a second child - my mother, ZOIE PAULINE NESBIT (b. 16 Jan 1890) who married my father JAMES FRENCH STROTHER. I also have a velvet-covered family photo album dating from the 1890's. I can identify pictures of THOMAS EDWARD CARTER and his wife, NANCY ANN MAGNESS; W. T. NESBIT and his wife, MOLLY D. MAGNESS; my mother ZOIE PAULINE NESBIT; and my uncle WILLIAM EDWARD NESBIT. Unfortunately, there are ten or more people that are not identified ("Oh, why didn't someone let me know who these people were?") There are some other names and people I remember meeting and hearing about growing up in the 1930's. They are probably spouses, cousins, etc. of these families: MRS. W. F. BUCK, Anaheim CA; CAL HADDOCK, Mineral Wells TX; MRS. J. B. WRIGHT, Batesville AK (clothing store); MRS. W. Y. GIBBES, Scotsdale AZ; MRS. FRED MINOR, Denton TX; ALICE POND, Wichita Falls TX; (DAD) COUSER (had a hotel in Dilly TX); and AUNT MAG, who lived with the Couser's. Any information that anyone could give me would be most appreciated. I have copied the photo album and would like to compare and share.

Hello, I need help in finding more information about William G. McElroy b. l876 in Ar. who married Letitia J. Kent in Batesville in December l897.He also had a brother Levi McElroy who married Hattie Newman in Batesville in l909 or l9l0. Both familys lived in Ind.Co. until about l9l9 or l920 when they moved to West Texas. We believe they may have lived in several areas of Independence county but not sure exactly where. I have learned that in l9l8 Wm.G. McElroy family were in Cushman, Independence county, Arkansas. According to family members they also lived in Batesville l900 time frame and the Kent family (Letitia J. Kent McElroy's parents) lived in Izard county in l880. Letitia's mother was Elizabeth Ham married to J.A.Kent. Elizabeth Ham's parents were John W. and Emily Davidson Ham and the Ham's are on the l870 and l880 Ind.Co.Ar. census in the Gainsboro township. Siblings of Elizabaeth Ham Kent all together in l880 as the parents apparently were already dead by that time. The Kent family moved to Ind.Co. Ar. between l870 and l872 time frame and many are buried in the Liberty and Lee's Chapel cemeteries. The Nelson family we have little info. on but Emily Nelson McElroy was the mother of our William G. McElroy and family info. has it that she had a sister named Frances"Fannie" and one named Missouri. I have found Fannie to be married to W.F.Tidwell living in Gainsboro township l880 census and there are Harris living there as well. Believe these Nelson/Tidwell/ and Harris familys were from Alabama possibly Clay county, Al.area. William G. McElroy and brother Levi's father was Licurgus McElroy who was b. in St. Francis County to parents John McElroy and Mary Stevenson McElroy. He was born in l85l died in l885 and Emily Nelson was born either Ga. or Al. abt. l853 and died Ar. in l882 . Their two sons, Wm.G. and Levi were raised by someone else, possibly a lady named Julia Harrison? My husband's father was born in January l899 in Batesville to Wm.G. McElroy and Letitia J. Kent McElroy. Any information on any of the above familys would greatly be appreciated as we are trying to learn more about where they all lived . Some other surnames from the St.Francis and Cross county areas are Holt, Tyer, Wigley that are connected to our McElroy family thru marriage from the l850 to l900 time frame. Thanks for reading this lengthy message and hope to hear from someone with any kind of information about any of the above mentioned people. You can email me direct as I do not always check queries on a regular basis. Sincerely, Beverly McElroy

I am trying to find the parents of my great grandfather - Edward Benjamin Shown(es). The "es" was added about 1905. Before that the family name was Shown. I have Edward's and Lucy Pullam's marriage certificate from 1889. They lived at Paroquet and crossed the river to Jacksonport to get their license, so it is a Jackson County license. 1889 is the earliest that I have, although in the county tax index there is an Edward Shown and a Ben Shown listed in 1883. No census record in 1880 for any Shown but I believe they were there. I'm hoping to him to Peter Shown and Sarah Lashbrook Shown, who moved from Kentucky to Independence County in the mid-1800's. Any help would be appreciated. Edward and his wife Lena (5th wife) are buried in Blue Springs Cemetery. Edward's son (my grandfather) and wife - Elmer and Josie Spence Shownes are also buried there.

The numerical control system of the press brake is a system that controls the machine's procedures through a series of programming.
The control system of the press brake is divided into NC and CNC.
Both NC and CNC controllers are used to ensure the positioning accuracy of the press brake toolings and back gauges.
Their main difference lies in whether the program allows modification.
The numerical control system cannot modify the program, while the CNC system can modify or edit the program.
The CNC system is an advanced version of the NC system that greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the bending operation.
The CNC system is also user-friendly and can enhance work efficiency.
It contains various programming functions that can store a large number of complex bending steps, allowing for the production of large quantities of complex workpieces faster.
A good control system can optimize procedures and improve production efficiency.
Firstly, the operator needs to consider the main purpose of the machine, the precision of the workpiece, and their familiarity with the controller functions.
Secondly, it is also necessary to consider whether the controller is compatible and adaptable with existing bending machines.
Finally, it is necessary to carefully distinguish the specific functional differences between NC and CNC controllers.
However, do you know which press brake controller is the best choice?
This article will introduce how to select the most suitable controller for the press brake.
Types of Press Brake Controller
Press brake controllers can generally be divided into manual and CNC controllers.
The manual controller requires the operator to have a good understanding of bending parameters and requires manual adjustment and monitoring of machine operation.
The operation of manual controllers is time-consuming and has low accuracy.
The CNC controller controls the operation of toolings, ram, and back gauge through computer software.
Simply edit the relevant parameters to accurately bend the workpiece.
CNC controllers are compatible and adaptable with various press brakes.

KUCHING, July 7: Demand for residential properties here is poised to gradually recover by the end of the third quarter of this year.
Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (Sheda) Kuching branch chairman Sim Kiang Chiok opined that demand for houses in Kuching will gradually pick up when buyers adjust to the new norm of lifestyles.
“We are now under the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) phase and most of us are still very cautious in taking care of our health not to be infected by Covid 19.
“This would affect the market for houses in the immediate term and the demand of houses will be stronger when we all get used to the “new normal” in our lifestyle by the end of the third quarter.
“At present, most property developers in Kuching are resuming their developments and in the process of compliance to the “New Normal” in their office and projects site,” he said in a statement.
For properties sold and under construction, Sim said the federal government will enact a law to help to remove legal disputes due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) from March 18.
He appealed to property buyers to be patient and await the outcome of the new law in the upcoming Parliament sitting in July 2020.
Sim, who is a director of Sim Swee Yong Development and Construction Sdn Bhd said property developers are hoping that there would be extra time being granted to complete the houses which were under construction without any compensation to either parties.
Sim added the federal government has reintroduced the housing ownership campaign (HOC) to encourage more property transactions and spur the property sector
He noted for residential property, the property developer will provide at least 10 per cent discount and the federal government will waive stamp duties for legal and housing loan documents.
Sim added there will be no Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) for the sale of up to three residential properties and no more capping on the percentage of the loan amount for the purchase of third residential property.
Nonetheless, he noted that most of the financial assistance provided by the federal govt will end in September.
As a result, he opined that the economy will be performing cautiously in the near term as businesses take a “wait and see attitude ” to access the market condition by the end of the year.
Sim added the economy will also be looking at loan defaults and unemployment figures in the short-term.
He gathered that most of the people and businesses have called on the banks to extend the moratorium for loans for another three to six months to help ease their cash flow and tight budget. —DayakDaily

Between the blue light of the screen and the warmth of the sun peeking through the window, I was drawn to a thought.
I’m so blessed to have been given this gift of life.
It’s been nearly a year since I made an entry on this blog. A good year. One decorated by renewal and change; and a much-needed break from the rigors of college.
With its passage came clarity.
I’ve come to view the path of my life as a string of seasons.
During my season at SUNY Empire State College I found myself faced with a funny dichotomy. On one hand, studying a business-related field, I was drawn to shaping my goals around my career. On the other, being a part of the liberal arts community, I was led to believe the value of my education lay in the journey not the outcome. I always found it difficult to reconcile the two. Which makes sense if you really think about it, the two paths lead to conflicting definitions of success.
In this season of post-graduation reflection, I’ve came to a revolutionary understanding of myself, my goals, and my aspirations.
I’ve realized that to shape my goals around material things, and the acute characteristics that define the individual seasons of my life is foolish; it’s better to set more intrinsic goals and let the chips fall where they may. I’ve decided to pursue peace. True peace. Lasting peace. A deep kind of peace that persist through all of life’s hardships, and challenges, and leads to a real sense of contentment and joy within the context of the life God has given me.
Framing the Way
In pursuit of this path I’ve set some basic conditions for success.
I’ve decided not to involve myself in other people’s personal affairs. Which challenges the values of a dawning information society; which, at this early stage in its evolution has yet learned to differentiate between the communal value of knowledge versus the intrusive presence of unsolicited connectedness, nor tolerance for the various stages individuals go through towards personal growth.
I’ve made it my goal to single-mindedly pursue the opportunities presented to me by God; in all spheres of my life, personal, professional and otherwise.
In my professional life this has led me to a much greater interest in managing my portfolio of work over time, and greater discernment regarding the kind of work I’m willing to dedicate life energy to.
In my personal life it’s led me to a better understanding of how to be a better steward of the many blessings God has given me; the warm daily life of my family, the presence of the land that surrounds me, and a welcoming home that shelters me.
Within this construct I’ve learned to exercise a Godly love for others, their condition, my relationship to them, and how to live with integrity. Leading me to meet them where they are; in terms of their personal fears, anxieties, and needs; but not requiring me to absorb them.
Loving others doesn’t always mean working to alleviate their stress, but it does often mean understanding it and helping them discover a path to a better tomorrow.
I’ve learned the pursuit of peace requires me to be present in my own affairs, committed to the pursuit of opportunities presented to me, and dedicated to an honest walk that is empathetic to the needs of others. I’ve decided to pursue this path with a full heart, and to rejoice in the growth I experience along the way.

Global Existence for a Nonlinear System in Thermoviscoelasticity with Nonconvex Energy
A three-dimensional thermoviscoelastic system derived from the balance laws of momentum and energy is considered. To describe structural phase transitions in solids, the stored energy function is not assumed to be convex as a function of the deformation gradient. A novel feature for multi-dimensional, nonconvex, and non-isothermal problems is that no regularizing higher order terms are introduced. The mechanical dissipation is not linearized. We prove existence global in time. The approach is based on a fixed-point argument using an implicit time discretization and the theory of renormalized solutions for parabolic equations with $L^1$ data.

Katy Perry has recalled the moment she told pal Harry Styles that she was expecting her first child with her fiancé, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom.
The 35-year-old hitmaker revealed to Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills that she confided in the Watermelon Sugar singer after they bumped into one another on a flight.
Katy went on to say that Harry had offered her his seat as she was crouching down while telling him her exciting news.
Describing the former One Direction singer as a "complete gentleman," Katy added that she hadn't publicly revealed the news she was with child after she blurted the news to Hazza.
Speaking about their encounter, Katy said: "I saw him on a plane, it was so funny. I actually saw him on a plane before I announced that I was pregnant.
"We were having a conversation and I was like: 'Yeah and I'm pregnant', just like off the cuff, cause I was like, what else do you say."
The Californian gal went on to add: "He was so happy for me, he actually, you know what he was so sweet. I was like crouching down by his seat on the plane and once I had told him that, he got up out of his seat and he's like: 'Here, sit in my seat.'
"And I was like, 'Noo! I'll just go and sit in my own seat', which is right across the way, but he's like a complete gentleman."
She later went on to speak about One Direction after having played a part in their creation, after stepping in as a guest judge on The X Factor, sending Niall Horan through to boot camp.
When quizzed on her favourite member of the five-piece boyband, she said: "I'm not choosing anyone but I did choose Niall to go through on the X-Factor. So I do feel like ownership over that like I completed One Direction, don't ever forget that!
"I love those boys it's nice to see everyone grow, but Styles I love him and what he stands for."
Katy revealed her happy news in the music video for her latest single Never Worn White in March, cradling her growing bump.
She became engaged to Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom in 2019 and the pair expected to tie the knot this year in Japan but the plans were halted due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

American Idol next state fair amusement
SPRINGFEILD, Ill. (AP) — There's a chance you could walk away from the Illinois State Fair this year with more than just saltwater taffy, political ephemera and a tummy ache. You could snare a recording contract.
The popular television talent-search program "American Idol" will conduct open auditions for its annual season-long contest in the fair's opening days, Aug. 8 and 9.
"The big guys (celebrity hosts) aren't going to be here to do the tryouts, but if you get through this tryout, you don't have to go to the big auditoriums and wait with 50,000 people," state fair manager Amy Bliefnick said Thursday at the fairgrounds. "They will automatically advance you to the next level."
The talent search, conducted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days near the entrance to the carnival midway, is just one reason organizers believe they can draw more people to the 162nd edition of the agricultural extravaganza.
Other firsts this year will be a "Golden Abe" awards program for food vendors, to encourage new and creative delights from the fried-on-a-stick crowd.
"Lately, meat parfaits, gator on a stick, fried candy bars and other fried creations have appeared on the scene," said Bryan Groves, vice president of consumer sales and marketing for The (Springfield) State Journal-Register, the awards' sponsor. "What culinary delicacies will they come up with next?"
The theme for this year's fair, which runs Aug. 7-17, is "Making Memories." Old favorites such as Conservation World will be back, and Happy Hollow will feature popular tropical bird shows and the "Swampmaster Gator Show." The popular CrossFit "Battle for the Hill" returns for a second year.
Agriculture — and particularly livestock — remains the fair's cornerstone, and a "celebrity showmanship" event will be offered Aug. 7 to highlight the top-tier animals visiting the capital city.
"The state fair is a mecca of fairs. It's one of the largest state fairs, and it's one of the most competitive state fairs that I ever go to ... ," said Larry Moffett, whose cattle-breeding operation southwest of Decatur is singled out this year because his family has shown cattle at the fair for 60 consecutive years. "If you stand in the top of your class at the Illinois State Fair, you're going to be very competitive nationally."
Agriculture Director Bob Flider made a point of highlighting investments Gov. Pat Quinn's administration has made in the fairgrounds on the day that the State Journal-Register reported (http://bit.ly/1nWhbR4 ) that repairs to the Grandstand's roof won't be completed by the fair's ribbon-cutting. But fair spokesman Jeff Squibb said the Grandstand "will be watertight and usable."
Grandstand acts include Robin Thicke, Jake Owen, Pitbull, Steely Dan, Boston and Hunter Hays.
"This year is all about making memories ... ," said Illinois County Fair Queen Summer Robbins of Coffeen. "I'm so excited to share those memories and make new memories. ... It never gets old being called 'princess.'"

President Bush has nominated a new Attorney General. Michael Mukasey, a retired federal judge, is seen as an expert on national security issues. Mukasey was the judge in the case of Jose Padilla, ruling the American could be held as an enemy combatant.
“At this dangerous time the Attorney-General has a special role to play. We face challenges to protect our people on a daily basis from deadly enemies.”
If approved by Congress, the 66 year-old will succeed Alberto Gonzalez who was forced to resign as head of the Justice Department last month after coming under constant fire for apparently condoning an administration which critics said was operating outside the law.
Mukasey is seen as a far less controversial choice.

The Springdale Public Library Storytime program celebrated Family Literacy Day by inviting their family members to join them for the afternoon. Nans, Pops, Moms Dads, and brothers were all there to enjoy and spend time with the children and at their local Library.
Librarian Judy read the well-known book “Love you Forever” by Robert Munch followed by everyone participating in the action song “Hoky Poky.” It was fun to see the children’s faces watching their family do the actions!
The Children proceeded with the help of their family member to cut out people from magazines and make them into stick puppets. One child made a puppet of Justin Bieber!
The highlight of the day was having a visit from the Reid Puppet family, who visit on occasion, which includes the mother Lila, father Martin, son Casey and the sister Susie who entertained the kids with the song “These are the people in my family.”
Everyone got to put on a tattoo of a picture of library books and was treated to an ice cream sandwich.
A great time was had by all.

I would have rated these a 5 if it were not for the fact that they needed some additional sealant around the lens. Luckily I had some left over rubber sealant lying around - I'd read about and experienced this before with my other aftermarket lights. Overall I am very satisfied with the product and the customer service. I was notified of a short backorder (about a week) shortly after placing my order, which happens from time to time. Wes kept me updated and called me as soon as the item left. Great guys to deal with!
Just like the real Nardi Corn, just a whole lot less expensive! Happy with my purchase!

Last year brought us a bunch of surprising treats from Gerard Way – from the ace Umbrella Academy trailer, to three new songs: Baby You’re A Haunted House, Getting Down The Germs and Christmas tune Dasher.
And, according to the musician’s insightful 2018 end-of-year round-up on his website, even more new music could be arriving in 2019.
“2018 was a dark year full of black magic in my opinion, so it got me thinking about witches again,” Gerard writes, alongside a photo of a pretty creepy mask. “I was inspired to buy this mask because I had just written a song called I Am The Hag, which I haven’t finished yet. It’s kind of heavy. Maybe I’ll release it in 2019.”
Meanwhile, of writing and recording music a whole lot in 2018, he says: “Almost every Friday this year I got to make music again, which was great. Ended up with quite the collection of demos and even got to start releasing music again toward the end of the year. Glad music was playing a role in my life again, as I had been spending the last two years writing comics and working on television.”

In more Gerard news, his Netflix Umbrella Academy series will be coming out on February 15.
My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way joined Tom DeLonge and co. onstage to run through blink-182’s classic single First Date.

Ha Tien is a nice border town where one can easily spend a pleasant day. Despite the lack of outstanding attractions there are plenty of things to see and do around (such as atmospheric cave temples and bustling seafood market) for those who are not in a rush. The town is located picturesquely at the banks of Mekong.
Getting from Cambodian town of Kep to Vietnam was a long and convoluted process. We turned up at the tourist agency in the morning and were asked to enter a tuk-tuk which took us in the direction opposite to the border which made me rather nervous. We stopped after only a couple of minutes at one of the tourist agencies on the Kep beach where we switched to a small minivan. We were very surprised to be the only people on board.
After a short ride we stopped in some small village and boarded a much larger minibus, already full of the locals and foreign tourists. The minibus stopped after a short ride just to give the passengers a chance to exchange money at… somebody’s private house. As we didn’t know the rate and we had some dollars, we decided not to exchange any money.
CROSSING THE BORDER
It didn’t take much time to arrive at the Cambodian border where somebody collected all passengers’ passports and disappeared inside the immigration building for ages. Meanwhile, everybody was waiting outside the minibus. We then got back in the bus to cover a couple hundred meters to the Vietnamese border. We had to pick up our luggage from the minivan at that point since it was coming back to Cambodia.
We were ushered to walk through the immigration control building where we had to fill up a health questionnaire and had our body temperature measured by a pistol-looking thermometer aimed at our faces. This obligatory service cost us $1 each, paid at the same counter. I doubt if it was legit but as the amount was so low, we didn’t want to create any fuss.
Finally, we had to walk with our luggage another 30 meters or so to a smaller, Vietnamese minibus. The locals all jumped on board and we and three other Western tourists had to wait at least 30 minutes for the minibus to return. The lady in charge of the transfer was very nice and helpful, though.
HOTEL HUNT IN HA TIEN
We actually didn’t have any accommodation booked since prices on booking.com were way too high for us. The minibus first dropped us at the cluster of hotels near the riverfront, which turned out to be all booked by Vietnamese weekenders and then at another hotel where the price quoted was a whopping $20. We thanked the lady for her help and got off at the main market.
As we were just figuring what to do, two men approached us, independently. The first one was a motorcycle taxi driver, the second one was a tour guide. The taxi driver offered to take us to a cheap hotel. I was skeptical, knowing he’d get a commission so I said our maximum budget was $8. He promised to take us to the hotel within that budget for free.
I sent Sayak to have a look at the room before we make any decision and stayed to converse with the other guy. I was sure he wanted to sell me something as well but actually, he just had a chat and even asked at a market stall for the cost of a SIM card before taking a leave. The moto taxi driver came back to pick me up promptly.
I was positively surprised with the hotel: a tall building in the vicinity of the river. We got a room on the top floor, with a stunning view at the river and the mangroves. The room was sparkling clean and had all the amenities, including hot water. Not bad for an $8 room!
Having secured the accommodation, it was time to search for food. As it was my first day in Vietnam, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find any food at the street stalls so we entered a bit more posh-looking restaurant. It was quite pricey but I found in the menu vegetables with tofu so we decided to try it out. Sayak ordered the cheapest dish available: grilled squid and we topped it up with ‘small rice’.
We were not prepared for what was coming. My dish could easily feed two, Sayak’s squid came with grilled okra and was delicious and we had tough time to finish the ‘small’ rice. Both the quality and quantity by far surpassed Cambodia. The first impression of Vietnam was overwhelmingly positive.
EXPLORING HA TIEN
Ha Tien had a thriving, large market near the riverfront. In the nighttime, all kinds of seafood were sold and prepared at the stalls set along the river while the promenade made for a nice walk.
On our second day in Ha Tien, we were hoping to rent a bicycle to explore the nearby attractions. It proved impossible, though as the Vietnamese tourists use only motorbikes and there simply weren’t any Western tourists around. We had literally seen just 2-3 other foreign tourists during those two days in Ha Tien. Having a look at Google maps reassured us though that we could cover the attractions we wanted to see on foot.
We started with Mac Cuu family tombs. As it was Saturday, the place was swarming with domestic tourists. We had never seen the Chinese style tombs before so it was quite interesting. Apart from a small hill covered with large tombs there was a pagoda with a pond full of lotus flowers.
After visiting the tombs we had to take the main road in the direction of the border with Cambodia. It wasn’t the nicest of walks but wasn’t particularly long either. We were heading to Thac Dong cave pagoda. Again, there were lots of Vietnamese tourists around. Inside a small cave lied some Buddha statues and one of the cave exits led to a rock with quite a nice view over the paddy fields. Satisfied but not overly impressed with the sight, we then took the path along the canal and the river back to the town.
We also had the first taste of the famous Vietnamese coffee- excellent by Asian standards. It was served in a glass placed inside a plastic bowl full of hot water. The coffee was still dripping from the local version of cafetera when it landed on our table. The coffee was accompanied, as usual in Vietnam, with free, unlimited green tea. I don’t drink coffee but Sayak can’t live without it. What’s beautiful about Vietnam is that in most of the places even though only Sayak was ordering coffee, we were both getting unlimited amount of green tea.
After having a lunch (I managed to find vegetable noodles), we walked all the way to the bus station. It was 3 kilometers in the scorching sun, through a bridge which didn’t even have a pedestrian lane. People looked at us as if we were insane and even a local tuk-tuk driver offered to take us for free but we stupidly refused. After reaching the bus station, we got on board a local bus to Can Tho. It was quite comfortable and reasonably priced.
How to get to Ha Tien?

Multinational corporations in Pudong New Area have been stepping up investment and R&D in the area despite the outbreak of COVID-19, demonstrating confidence in the local economy.
German pharmaceutical company Boehringer-Ingelheim has two plants in Zhangjiang Science City, one of which resumed operations on Jan 31.
The company plans to invest 174 million euros ($187.43 million) in China from 2019 to 2023. It also plans to cooperate with Chinese scientific research institutes to develop drugs for COVID-19, according to Gao Qifei, president of Boehringer-Ingelheim China.
On March 12, the China International Import Expo Bureau announced the first group of participating companies, including Honeywell, a high-tech company based in the United States. The company showcased its JetWave satellite communications system in last year's CIIE in Shanghai. A Boeing 757 jet equipped with the system has now finished ground and flight tests in China.
"The COVID-19 epidemic had made us realize the influence digital technology can have on society. Smart manufacturing is helping Chinese industrial companies resume operations, including our plants in China," said Zhang Yufeng, president of Honeywell China.
All of Honeywell's 21 plants in China have now resumed operations, and none of its employees in China have been infected.
Roche, a pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, also has a plant in Zhangjiang Science City that produced drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in the early stages of the epidemic.
The company also cooperated with partners to launch a public welfare program to provide medical news and information for cancer patients in 350 cities amid the epidemic.
In addition, the Novartis Shanghai Park resumed operations on Feb 10. Novartis is one of the world's top three pharmaceutical companies, and it has cooperated with three e-commerce platforms to sell more than 20 drugs online.

A conversation about history, truth, and the American experience is necessary in these troubled times. The truth is under assault in U.S. society at the present as the nation, and the culture, confronts an epistemological crisis in several sectors of knowledge. This crisis is exemplified in many arenas of society but, most perniciously, it is vociferously evident in contemporary politics as illustrated by the “alternative facts” and “fake news” propaganda that continuously spews forth from the pundits who represent the administration of Donald J. Trump—president of the United States. According to the Washington Post, Trump has an honesty problem; reportedly making “4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days.”
These Truths: A History of the United States by Jill Lepore, the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American history at Harvard University and a staff writer for The New Yorker, is an ambitious single volume survey history of the United States from 1492 to the election of Barack Obama in 2008. Lepore is the author of several books including The Secret History of Wonder Woman and Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin. In 960 pages of nuanced prose, These Truths is the story of the United States in sixteen chapters, divided into four distinct sections, structured around the democratic institutions and the set of political propositions that have shaped a people and a nation. These Truths also includes a brief Introduction and a short Epilogue. Lepore states in the opening pages of her commanding narrative: “The American experiment rests on three political ideas— “these truths,” Thomas Jefferson called them—political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people (xiv).” This set of political propositions that are etched into the founding documents of the nation are at the core of the author’s analysis.
Lepore describes her text as “chiefly a political history” (xix) and partly “an old-fashioned civics book (xviii).” Though she does craft an expansive text that encompasses some discussion of the history of religion, technology, law, and journalism, this is primarily done to illustrate how questions of truth in the American experience have “sometimes gotten sorted out.” Lepore’s political and intellectual history is prescient in this historical moment of political turmoil. There are a set of institutions and ideas that represent the basis of the U.S. Republic currently at risk, and Lepore’s These Truths is a much-needed guide to help us understand this perilous political era.
These Truths is organized into four sections using a chronological-topical framework. The ideas, the people, and the state that have historically defined “these truths” (political rights, the sovereignty of the people, and natural rights) are the main subject of the various parts of the text. The first section is entitled “The Idea,” focusing on the years 1492 to 1799. Major topics include the first encounter between Europeans and North America, the Revolutionary War, and the development of the U.S. Constitution. The second part is entitled “The People” and covers the rise of Jacksonian America to the Civil War. In the final two sections, “The State” and “The Machine,” industrialization to the rise of modern America during World War II, and the post-WWII-era to contemporary politics are covered respectively.
Lepore uses a plethora of both primary and secondary sources to construct her analysis. Legal and philosophical treatises, speeches, newspapers, prints, letters, periodicals, literature, photographs, and newspapers are some of the primary documents and materials that were used by the author to substantiate her argument. This broad array of evidence is coupled with other primary sources such as interviews, religious documents, political pamphlets, and law codes. Some classic political histories such as History of the American Presidential Elections by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. are important secondary texts used by the author to anchor her analysis while also drawing upon key texts in science and religion.
These Truths is more than a political history of U.S. society or a civics book. This work is also a truth teller’s manual. As she traverses the political history of the U.S. by discussing nominating conventions, secret ballots, polls, politicians and talk radio, Lepore instructs her readers in the craft of history. Historians are described as “storytellers” and “the teller[s] of truth” who work with a partial record (xix). In her assessment, Lepore continuously engages some of the issues confronted by historians in their attempts to reconstruct the past, including a continuous discussion of the nature of historical truth, methods, and the value of evidence. It is pertinent to note that Lepore also consistently contemplates the many contradictions in the story of U.S. history as related to questions of truth by acknowledging early in her text that “there is a great deal of anguish in American history and more hypocrisy (xix).” In some respects, though, the truth of political institutions and ideas can be verified by the evidence written into the founding documents. The meaning of these truths as outlined by Jefferson also raise the question of to whom these truths apply. The applicability of these truths has been contested over time within the complex matrix that is the American experience, as the author notes.
Lepore does an assiduous job of integrating the lives and ideas of figures such as Maria W. Stewart, David Walker, and Henry Highland Garnet neatly into a standard text on the American history narrative to illustrate that the truth is oftentimes dictated by space, place, and context. Stewart is the first African American woman to give a political speech. Lepore brings her from the margin to the center of the major debates in nineteenth century America. In doing so, Lepore demonstrates that African American history is American history given that the fundamental truths regarding the nation’s origins and history, from the framing of the Constitution to contemporary politics, more often than not involved the place of African Americans in the nation. With this monumental history of the U.S., Lepore obliterates all notions of teaching the U.S. history survey without a serious engagement of the history of African Americans. It is not possible to tell the history of U.S. society as exemplified in “these truths,” that are at the foundation of the nation, by excluding the history of African Americans. Lepore’s work is one of the better U.S. history textbooks that resoundingly makes this point.
Though Lepore aptly notes that “the United States was not founded as a Christian nation,” and that the omission of religious tests for officeholders, coupled with the “Bill of Rights,” that forbids the government from establishing a state religion, she does not overlook the power of religion in the history of U.S. politics and society (201). The founders were not interested in creating a theocratic state in 1789, but the evangelical ministers who led the Second Great Awakening”in the 1800s “recast the nation’s origins as avowedly Christian (201).” This is another contradiction exposed by Lepore in that the Republican values upon which the truths of the nation rest have been historically countered with ardently religious and theocratic currents in the history of the country to the extent that religion and politics have become, seemingly, inextricably entwined into the present.
Though, in some respects, These Truths is too nuanced. That the U.S. government at its inception was a racial state could be more explicitly stated in the Introduction of the book. Race is another truth that is intimately embedded into U.S. politics, society, and culture. A more direct engagement with race and racial formation as word and idea would make These Truths, already a work of distinction, a more outstanding textbook in U.S. history. The pros far outweigh any flaws evident in These Truths. This is a cogently written, well researched, and nuanced history of U.S. society. Lepore’s focus is clear and her prose is sound. She strikes an intricate balance between the negative aspects of the American experience with the more positive attributes of U.S. history while exposing the strident contradictions in the nation’s story. With the enumerable subfields that define U.S. history as a scholarly field, textbook authors often are forced to make choices about how to cover the vast sweep of this history. Lepore’s achievement in developing a textbook that inculcates the voices of women and marginalized groups succinctly into this story is more than commendable.permission.

Since my membership will be running out soon I thought I would ask this.
What kind of T's don't stink after a day or two of wearing them?
I can stink poly out in a 24 hour period or so. Thin wool somewhat works for me in that the odor is a bit changed and much muted but it still does after a few days and they are just not made to last and very expensive even for the blend stuff. I used Visa Endurance stuff and it mutes it and changes it to a more mushy smell. Nylon is not that bad but it doesn't breath in the least.
I am thinking of just going with some REALLY thin cotton T's. If they get wet I am thinking my body heat should possibly be able to dry them at a good rate. Wool takes forever to dry and the thin stuff does not provide any heat. And the poly stuff is so much thicker than thin cotton that they might be in the same ball park for drying. Does anyone have experience with this? Am I too far off?Oct 22, 2012 at 2:21 pm #1923714

Thin wool works best for me, but sometimes when it's really hot I'll use a cotton/poly blend that works pretty well. Unfortunately I haven't found a magic stink-killing shirt yet.

There isn't a perfect material for baselayers out there. Poly is gross and starts to stink and wool is not durable. I wear cotton most of the time, even in cool weather. The shirt cools me down a little when I stop moving, but I can tolerate it. I carry a cotton shirt and a thin wool long sleeve which would go under my windshirt or rain jacket in windy/wet weather. I am usually able to dry out a slightly damp cotton shirt in the evening with my insulation layers on before I sleep. Or if I have a campfire, I can dry it out almost instantly.
If it gets torn up or dirty beyond cleaning, I can throw it away without much loss.Oct 22, 2012 at 4:10 pm #1923739
Quite so. I some 50/50 blend T's that I wear and they push the stink off for a bit but they end up smelling also and they are a bit thick what with the poly. I will have to look at Wal-Mart next time I am in there to see if they have some really thin cotton T's in a larger size and try them out. That coupled with trimming my arm pit hair should help out. I guess if my baselayer T ever gets too wet I can just take it off and layer with my R2, wind shirt and rain shell which should still keep me pretty good above freezing.Oct 22, 2012 at 8:47 pm #1923776

Under Armour who sells some cotton-blended stuff that they at least claim addresses the stink and sweat wicking/drying issues. That said I just bought a Heat Gear super lightweight top for summer and it reminded me why I hate synthetic stuff. Went and bought some merino 150g stuff instead. Even if it wears out at least it's not synthetic. But yeah that's not for you!Oct 23, 2012 at 4:58 am #1923840

First hello this is my first post here. This is an interesting topic for me. Like most of you good folks, I wear the synthetic base layers for the obvious reasons. Even at home when working out I wear synthetic gym clothes on the treadmill etc. Gotta tell you after working out or hiking for a new hours, I smell like a donkey. My wife keeps saying it's me – i just stink when i sweat. I've tired a few things no underarm deodorant and lots of deodorant to no avail still smell like a donkey's ass. I had a suspicion it was the synthetic clothes but brushed it off. After reading this thread, I'm happy that you guys also stick. For me it's just nice to know it's not me and I can now tell my wife I need new gear to combat this awful smell. Only trick is how to extend the need from different base layers up to a new tent ;-)Oct 23, 2012 at 6:35 am #1923860
I think between Verber and I we determined that if you use poly with about 8% silver thread it will not stink that much but I was never able to try this out as none of the stuff that comes like that fits me. So there is possibly hope for poly users.Oct 23, 2012 at 8:14 am #1923870

> 8% silver thread
Yes, I found that for me, the base layers I had with 8% silver did a pretty good job at keeping odor down. Alas, most of base layers with embedded silver are around 4% and they tend not to list % silver amounts. I found the treatments will less than 8% silver helped keep odor at bay for a day or so, but were not effective after a few days. I have tried really thin cotton and cotton/poly mixes. While better than the typically poly, they also got stinky after a few days. As other have observed, wool works pretty well. I often get a skin rash when wearing wool (even super fine merino) so I tend not to wear it, but there are trips I have worn a wool as a base. While the shirt did smell aren't a few days, it was much less than an typical poly or cotton shirt. Smell, well, a bit like a damp sheep. Not pleasant, but better than what I smell like after a few days.
–MarkOct 23, 2012 at 8:37 am #1923876
I would agree with Mark's comments also. I can wear some merino for long periods of time with a reduced stink but my hesitations with merino are based upon its durability and the fact that it takes longer to dry than poly or cotton from my experience. If I could find some durable merino baselayers I would investigate them more but again from my experience the ones that are durable have poly mixed in or are too thick to be worn most of the year. Power Dry does work pretty well for reduced stink also.Oct 23, 2012 at 10:29 am #1923902

For me, Ibex wool base layers and the Arcteryx phase synthetic series seem to work the best at controlling stank.Oct 23, 2012 at 11:40 am #1923913
I think I am going to relegate my two poly T's with Visa Endurance to the winter bin where keeping dry is more important than stinking.
I think I will try to use two of the thin cotton or poly blends shirts and just alternate them every day.
Ibex are nice base layers but really don't last either for their thing stuff. I really don't have to watch out for every branch that might snag it and tear a hole. Just the opposite with the dead bird stuff, $60 is way too much for a synth T.Oct 23, 2012 at 7:08 pm #1924028
There's definitely a distinct poly stank that develops for me. It's kind of a musty old basement smell more than the classic grilled-onions-and-cabbage B.O. stink. I'm honestly starting to believe that poly base "wicking" layers is a huge scam that started back in the early 80's when a worldwide stockpile of no-longer-fashionable poly fabrics started to go unused.
In my experience there's not been a single aspect of poly/wicking clothing that's lived up to the hype: not the drying time, not the comfort, and not the "wicking". For me I'd rather stockpile a bunch of merino, even merino blends (in the case of socks) when the stuff goes on sale for 50% off each year and then just buy 2 articles of clothing for every 1 high-tech poly nonsense they'd like to charge you $60 for.
That said, depending on your size, Backcountry.com and Departmentofgoods.com are blowing out their soon-to-be-discontinued Stoic line of clothes and gear. I just picked up a bunch of merino stuff that so far feels about 80-85% as nice as the Smartwool stuff I own. I've actually been pretty impressed on a couple of outtings in 70-80* weather with high humidity that my 250g mid-weight Smartwool longsleeve (with the sleeves pushed up a bit) kept me dry and comfortable. I would have expected to overheat a bit but nah, it was all good. Meanwhile my super-thin poly shirt stayed wet for 2 days, didn't get clean handwashing it, and was plenty stinky.
I dunno… I wish you luck though! Each person's body chemistry is totally different so YMMV….a lot.Oct 24, 2012 at 8:12 am #1924106

While I agree that poly/wicking clothing has been over-hyped, we need to remember that those claims were typically in comparison the the cotton tee-shirt, not to a modern merino shirt. In the late 1970s / early 1980s almost no one wore wool next to skin, it was just too scratchy during the summer. More people would wear wool base in the winter, but I would often hear people complain about comfort. Back then most people I knew used a cotton Tee-shirt with a wool button up. Poly/wicking was a huge improvement over cotton when it comes to drying time, wicking, and for me, comfort.
Comparing poly/wicking to a good merino shirt the it's much more even. I would say merino -vs- poly is really a personal preference more than a clear winner / loser. I loved the BPL test from several years ago where they made and then reported experiences with a couple of shirts that were wool on one side, poly on the other. They found that poly has a slight edge with drying times and was more durable. In hot weather poly tended to be more air permeable which could make it more comfortable. I would add to that poly can provide more UV protection, and for many people a bit more skin comfort… merino is a huge improvement over the wool shirts of old, but numerous people still report various degrees of discomfort.

The "newer" patagonia stuff is blended with 20-30% polyester and is more durable than the 100% merino stuff. It also retains a good amount of the stink control.Oct 24, 2012 at 9:43 am #1924127

Icebreaker Merino T's don't stink after continuous wear on the trail. They also dry very quickly next to the skin. I have been using the very thin merino version all season and in fact wear them almost every day for normal wear as well. Durability is OK so far for me, but I notice some small holes developing in the area where my pack belt would go. Could have been damage from brush, etc. though.
I only wear merino now for base layer insulation as well. I've found the Icebreaker or Woolpower brands to both wear very well. I think they perform much better than any synthetic product I've used for this purpose.Oct 24, 2012 at 2:33 pm #1924197

I have found the absolute best non-stinking base layer clothing….Rab Meco from England. It is expensive but I have found it to be very durable, breathable, and absolutely does not stink. I wore a t-shirt four days straight while hiking and it did not stink at all. It is 65% merino wool and 35% polyester treated with a carbon compound derived from coconut, hence the name "Meco". And it dries much more quickly than 100% merino. I hand wash the stuff in the evening and it is dry in the morning. If you can justify the cost, it is the best solution I have found. 123mountain.com is the source in the U.S. that seems to stock the product the most.Oct 24, 2012 at 7:28 pm #1924255
Yeah it should be said I wasn't around during those uncomfortable scratchy years of wool. I was just a wee lad! But yeah you're totally right about everything mentioned. I do have a theory (that I intend to test next summer here in Texas) that my Under Armour Heat Gear shirt is better when the temps are 90+. I'd like to try a 125 or 150g weight Merino for comparison but I've definitely heard that stuff is so thin it's not meant for the stress of being under pack straps directly. So it might be an expensive test!
That said, yes, it's totally up to each person. Frankly I love merino acrylic blend socks. But don't let my hardcore wool-knitting girlfriend hear me say that. Acrylic is a four letter word for high end knitters. Ooooooh the wrath I caught when I bought an acrylic beanie because it was on sale for $10. But I digress.Oct 24, 2012 at 7:33 pm #1924257
@gerry – I have a Kuhl hoodie that's apparently made out of coffee beans that's supposed to have much the same properties. Come to think of it I haven't tested it out but it's certainly light enough to wear next to skin even if it has a full front zipper. I'll have to give it a shot and see if I can get it funky. I'm curious what people think of the biological poly (can you can them poly?) fabrics that are made out of recycled organic stuff like coconuts and coffee beans.Oct 24, 2012 at 7:58 pm #1924266
Yeah, I tried some of the Patagonia Merino 1 stuff they had with the poly blend. Still stunk.
Icebreaker stuff seems okay but their largest size is not big enough for me.
I have tried the coconut stuff from Patagonia on a poly shirt a few years ago, lasted for about 3 weeks and then died.
Since I am a tall person it is hard to find wool that fits me well. And cheaply at that. For the price it is just hard not to look at cheap poly and cotton at $5-10 a shirt that you don't have to worry about wearing while the wool usually has to be babied below 200g.Oct 24, 2012 at 8:50 pm #1924276
Actually, what do people think of this?
Low poly count with a much higher acrylic count. But if their tech works it might be really warm to wear it though.Oct 24, 2012 at 9:00 pm #1924278
I've always had less stank issues with acrylic than poly, that's for sure. I've never used acrylic base layers but back in the day I used to snowboard in an acrylic sweater over a merino base and I sweat like a whore in church. A couple days without washing following solid 8 hours of runs and the sweater smelled a tad…off…but it certainly wasn't curling any nose hairs. Worth a shot maybe!Jan 28, 2013 at 7:19 pm #1948225

If it's really warm, and i'm not layering, i like pure Linen as a "baselayer", but if it's cool enough to layer, i like wool and wool blends. I'm planning on experimenting with some 50% wool and 50% acrylic shirts that i got real cheap (like 10 and 5 dollars respectively). Linen and Hemp i've found have great odor control as long as they aren't stored wet, and they dry much faster than cotton and are a bit more insulating.
What has surprised me a bit, is the odor control of Duofold's mid weight "wool" dri release blend. It's surprising because it's 88 or so percent polyester and only 12% or so wool. Maybe it has something to do with their oleophobic treatment and/or that the fiber strands are intimately woven together rather than placed next to each other? No, it's not as good as 100% Linen/Hemp or Wool, but it's much better than many 100% poly shirts i've tried and the stink control seems permanent. Nice considering the prices.

The expression of the small heat shock protein αB-crystallin is developmentally controlled and is known to be associated with a myriad of neuro-degenerations including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We have previously shown that αB-crystallin is a Golgi membrane-associated protein, which is secreted from adult human retinal pigment epithelial cell (ARPE19) via exosomes (Gangalum et al., J Biol Chem. 286:3261-9, 2011). In this investigation we have probed the relevance of αB-crystallin to RPE function and intercellular communication via exosomes.
Employing shRNA technologies to inhibit specific gene expression we have generated stably transfected ARPE19 cells lines in which αB-crystallin expression is variably inhibited. We have used Fluorescence activated Cell sorting analyses, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy and biochemical characterizations and polarized cell cultures.
Analyses of various cell lines expressing differential amounts of αB-crystallin protein show that absence of αB-crystallin protein has a significant impact on exosome biogenesis in human RPE cells in culture. Examination of various exosome markers and their status reveals that specific stages of exosome biogenesis are interfered with in the absence of this small heat shock protein.
Based on known cell-type-specificity of the molecular cargo of the exosomes these data indicate that cell-type specific proteins such as αB-crystallin may control intercellular communication in a cell-type specific fashion (and therefore, RPE physiology) by regulating exosome biogenesis.
