Shows a John W Colyer died Tyhphoid Fever son of John and POLLY. See discussion of John Colyer 1781 first wife
|DNA test of Harold Andrew Colyer and Curtis Colyer match report|
Harold Andrew Colyer is a documented descendant (great great grandson) of John Colyer born 1781. Curtis Colyer is a documented descendant (great great grandson) of John Colyer born 1815 who lived in Bronston Ky. This DNA test shows that John Colyer born 1815 is son of John Colyer born 1781.
This DNA test results in several conclusions. First, the Bronston KY area Colyers are related via John Colyer born 1781 to the Jugornot area of Somerset KY Colyers. Second, based on death record of John Colyer born 1815, that the first wife of John Colyer born 1781 was Polly Sinclair, NOT Martha Minus.
Although the John Colyer born 1815 death record only states the mother's first name, it is this researcher's conclusion, that the disclosure of her last name in the newspaper obituary of John Colyer born 1781 son, Charles Granade Colyer, as Sinclair, provides for her full name as Polly Sinclair.
|DNA test comparison Curtis Colyer vs. John Collyer|
Shows proof of connection via John Colyer born 1781. Curtis Colyer descended from John Colyer Jr. born 1815 and John Collyer was descended from William Colyer born 1807.

John Gover, evidently court appointed adminsitrator of estate, lawsuit to sell 240 acres apparently the property that John Colyer Jr. purchased from John Long on Cumberland river right before both of their deaths for $2400. Evidently was coal land, that evidence shows may later have been purchased by Cornelius Doolin who was in coal biz with John Colyer Sr. Doolin also purchased the coal lands from John Colyer Sr. estate.

Lindsey and Samuel likely only purchased the inherited interest from John Colyer Sr in the Ruth Ky farm by Lindsey and Samuel Black purchased the Blaze Valley farm interest he lived on.
|1863 John Colyer Jr estate vs. Cyrenius Wait land sale|
It appears that Cyrenius Wait was opposing party in lawsuit of John Colyer Jr estate just like he was in John Colyer Sr estate over what I suspect was Wait's interest in obtaining the Coal properties held by each estate. However in the case of Jr. he had infant child that the courts interceded for.

In one of its last actions before August recess, the Senate passed the bill 91 to 3 in an unusual, of late, show of bipartistan support. The House passed the bill in July.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), was drafted after a scandal came to light involving veterans being put on secret lists to mask long wait times for medical appointments.
The legislation will attempt to provide veterans with timely access to medical care by providing them with a card that allows them to seek care from a civilian doctor if they have waited more than 30 days for an appointment at the VA. The $10 billion provision will let a veteran who lives more than 40 miles from a VA medical center seek private medical care.
The legislation allows for the hiring of more doctors and medical staff to ease the demands of a skyrocketing veteran population. Even with increased budget allocations for the VA, the demand outstrips the current resources.
An interim independent report released in May by the VA Inspector General found officials falsified records at a Phoenix medical center in order to hide wait times. According to the report, 1,700 veterans were kept on such lists. Veterans waited an average of 115 days for an initial primary care appointment. The report called these issues “a systemic problem nationwide.”
Former Veterans Affairs secretary Erik Shinseki resigned in May in the wake of the allegations. The Senate last month unanimously confirmed former Procter and Gamble chief Robert McDonald as VA secretary.
“Over the last few months, we’ve discovered some inexcusable misconduct at some VA health-care facilities,” Obama said. “This is wrong. It’s outrageous. And working together, we set out to fix it and do right by our veterans.”
Obama said the department and administration have started reaching out to veterans who are on the wait lists to match them with care, have fired people and are investigating numerous allegations of misconduct.
Obama and members of Congress said one of the most important provisions of the bill is free: It allows McDonald free reign to fire people who are not doing their jobs or have engaged in unethical behavior.
If an employee does not meet standards of conduct, “You should be fired, period,” Obama said. Whistleblowers, Obama said, should be protected.
“If you blow the whistle,” Obama said, “you should be thanked. You should be protected for doing the right thing. You shouldn’t be ignored and you certainly shouldn’t be punished.”
Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) said that Obama's signing of the bill “opens up a huge door to move forward” and help veterans. But it is “just a step” in what will be a long process of changing the VA, she said.
“The gaming that’s going on inside of this process is unbelievable,” Walorski, a member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, said of what she’s learned about VA wait times. She met McDonald for the first time and told him that updating the department’s technology and fixing problems related to it is a top priority. But the fact that McDonald will be able to fire bad actors may be the biggest gain going forward.
“He has the tools to fire,” Walorski said. “He has the tools to clean this up.”
The bill will also continue a program supporting veterans with traumatic brain injuries and enhance care for service members who were sexually assaulted.
Obama continued his habit of railing against Republicans, urging Congress to confirm a number of nominees to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"The Senate doesn't seem to move very fast," Obama said. "Our veterans don't have time for politics."

Rebranding with art
Fine art and fashion often flirt with each other, but sometimes they invade each other’s space entirely. These contemporary works address commercial production, inviting us to question our conditioning: how did we let the market value of a purse, or something labeled “Gucci,” become so completely unmoored from its actual material worth? Conversely, the same may often be said for art, which inhabits its own price-conscious ecosystem of gallery and collector. Artist Stephanie Syjuco often plays with these concepts, using painstaking craft processes to subvert the typical value chain. In her Counterfeit Crochet Project (Critique of a Political Economy) Syjuco printed patterns and invited the general public to crochet “homages and lumpy mutations” of designer handbags. The crafters became an unpaid labor force, that parodied fashion factory outsourcing through their willingness, autonomy, and ownership of the resulting product. A later work, Market Forces, further mimicked the production-consumption cycle using hand- screenprinted Louis Vuitton Keepalls that were then “bought” with blatantly fake money, all designed and made by students. That work tackled a side effect of our designer mania, a trillion-dollar counterfeit industry, which uses the same signifiers—gilt hardware, logo, label—to rebrand common goods and attach exponentially higher prices. Thus, we can view Peter Gronquist’s golden Gucci chainsaw as a literal weaponizing of our potentially toxic desire for branded fashion. Equally, Syjuco’s pastiche bags beg the question: why is something mass-produced in a factory worth so much more than a unique, handmade—and maybe more authentic—version?

Tonight marks one of the most focused of all global countdowns. People around the world will wait in anticipation for the last seconds of another year to tick away. In Manhattan tonight, almost 2 million revelers will pack into Times Square and countdown with the famed ball. Around the nation and across the globe, millions more will be counting down to a larger and more significant event — the day when Donald Trump departs the White House for good.
As a deep freeze grips the east coast this holiday weekend, Trump offered up one of his most ignorant tweets of the year ahead of the festivities. On Thursday, Trump poked fun at the cold and suggested that the nation could benefit from a “bit of that good old Global Warming.” Perhaps Trump should get off the links and waddle his feeble-minded self to Puerto Rico, where people are still without power following the worst hurricane season in decades.
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017
The self-proclaimed love of the people, Trump has demonstrated once again that he has no capacity to differentiate between scientific fact and the fiction of his mind. He has so little cognitive ability and intelligence that he fails to grasp that global warming is a trend independent of short-term weather events. As we replied to Trump on Thursday, “One cold week doth not an ice age make.” It’s not likely that any explanation would enlighten Trump as he increasingly presents as deaf, dumb, and blind to the realities of America and the globe.
One statistic that Trump pays undivided attention to of late is the stock market. Besides the increasing numbers on Wall Street and daily Dow records, Trump appears incapable of accurately reporting any other ratio, statistic, or measurement. That his sole focus since taking over the White House is personal monetary gain should be enough to alert his fan club that he’s really not looking out for them.
It is unfortunate that Trump appeared on The Apprentice rather than a program that would have exposed him for the fraud that he is — perhaps Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? would have been revealing. Then again, Trump prefers to participate in activities where the odds are stacked in his favor to win and fifth graders likely would have been too much a challenge.
In the barrage of criticism that erupted on Twitter following Trump’s global warming tweet, it is worthy to note, that Trump has filled cabinet and administration positions with unqualified people with less education and knowledge than he possesses. The Trump regime has engaged in an intentional dumbing down of America for the sole purpose of making Trump look good and allowing him to say anything stupid without facing correction. By installing a puppet regime-like administration, Trump can say anything he wants, including there is no such thing as global warming.
Last month marked a low point in the war against a threat Trump calls “fake news” along with everything else he dismisses as irrelevant in his continued heist of America. Measured Arctic sea ice ebbed to its third lowest extent in the nearly forty years that scientists have been using satellites to observe the ice. At the end of November, 3.65 million square miles of ice covered our planets pole — a mere 320,000 square miles above the lowest ever measured in 2016. Temperatures at 3,000 feet above sea level — though frigid like New York’s New Year’s Eve forecast — remained 6 to 11 degrees (Fahrenheit) above average.
Because Trump thinks on such a basic and low-reasoning scale — mere minutiae compared to a person of average intelligence and competent science and logic education — he is unable to differentiate between weather patterns and global trends. As much as he tweets about the stock market records, he also fails to process the broader implications of every rising stocks, reduced corporate taxes, lower wages, and the growing potential for a crash. As economists begin to draw parallels between key conditions in the last major crashes and current growth, Trump will be oblivious to the danger until the next time his lawyers are pleading his case in bankruptcy court.
As revelers begin to countdown to midnight tonight and 2018, many of us are busy calculating the Trump countdown — whether that’s when he leaves office of his own volition (which seems increasingly unlikely even at the official end of his term) or is removed by an act of Congress. It is the countdown of a generation and one that holds more consequence that changing a calendar.
As the New Year dawns, Trump will remain unchanged because the capacity to change, to make resolutions, to improve demands cognitive abilities beyond the scope of his simple mindedness. He will continue to receive his daily national briefings from Fox & Friends, divide the nation, and tweet about money being made on Wall Street…right up until Wall Street is underwater.

You know, this is one of the reasons I still find myself coming back to Kid 606. Even though he sometimes abuses my ears with brutal doses of noise and puncturing sound, he also has a sensitive side, and honestly you never really know what he's going to do next. Granted, there's something about having groups that act like well-worn blankets, that you can come back to with every release and be greeted with open arms, but the fun with Kid 606 is that you don't know whether he's going to hug or bitch-slap you.
That might sound like a pretty horrible thing to say, but given the warmth of PS I Love You and the top 40 gabber destruction of his latest The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You The Fucking Jams, it's also a fairly fitting assessment to make. As the calm following the storm of that last disc, How I Love Life is a collection of 7 tracks that run just under 20 minutes, and fit onto one of those charming little 3" CDs.
With 6 multi-toned pictures of what looks like a reclining Britney Spears on the cover, I wasn't sure what to expect (more rampant smashing of Top 40 artists?), but when I put the little disc in my discman and sent it spinning, I was greeted with the fluttering layers of warm electronics of "Sad Motherfucker Part One" and just a slight edge in the form of static hiss. "When I Want Something New" takes more fractured and digitally tricked-out sounds (this time in the form of a piano) and layers them over a slightly chunky beat and some CD skippy noises and more static. "Love It Like You Stole It" arrives as the harshest of the tracks on the release at the EP midpoint, but even the somewhat piercing bursts of static and digital chirps seem tame compared to the usual outbursts.
The release closes out with three short tracks, including the short meanderings of "Longer" and the clipped vocals, squelched electronics, and stuttering beat of "Frenchkiss." The album closes out with "Sad Motherfucker Part Two," and more organic instrumentation (this time in what sounds like a bass guitar) creeps through the glitch alongside more of the same shimmering tones that were in the first track. It's a pretty closer, and if it weren't for the clipping noises, one would be hard pressed to figure out that it was even Kid 606 behind it all. It's a short release from a highly prolific artist, but instead of being a short tossed-off affair, I actually enjoy it more than some of his other work. Fun.

TNF applies Futurelight technology to footwear
The North Face has brought its Futurelight technology — which uses a nanospinning process to add air permeability to a waterproof membrane — to outdoor trainers.
Two shoes are debuting the application of this technology in footwear: the Activist Fastpack (pictured), which is a new shoe from the brand, and the Ultra Fastpack, an existing TNF shoe that’s been redesigned with the Futurelight membrane.
According to the company, the shoes have the ultra-thin waterproof nanomembrane with enhanced breathability, which “keeps your steps light and your feet dry”.
The nanospinning process involved in the technology, which was launched last autumn in an apparel range, is said to deposit a polyurethane solution from more than 200,000 nozzles onto a surface where it’s collected in a randomized matrix to create the membrane. The solution is then used to create a breathable-waterproof film that is bonded to backer and face fabrics.

STEP 4- Your Rice! 3 Cups of water, jar of Sofrito, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Tumeric, Goya packets. stir and bring to a boil then add your rice.
STEP 5- when your rice is almost done pour all the contents from your chicken bowl back in and stir it in.
STEP 6- by this time your Peppers should be nicely Roasted. take em out let em cool for a sec.
STEP 7- Your rice should be done and you can start your cheese sauce while you give the peppers time to cool down so you can fill them. I simply heat a whole Carton of Heavy Cream and then add my queso brick that I cut into small cubes and let it melt all together. remember to stir so nothing sticks at the bottom of the pan.
STEP 8- Now you can slit the peppers open carefully, scoop the seeds out and take the stem off if you want. Spoon you chicken and rice into the pepper. no need to put it back in the oven. Just plate it drizzle your cheese sauce over it and enjoy
I love to put a Whole one in a large tortilla and more cheese sauce..mmmm

This Performance Red Metallic clear-coat paint helps our 2022 MDX make a brilliant first impression. Even the crew at the boatyard zeroed in on it—three of them were admiring the vehicle when we got back to shore.
The sheer presence of the new MDX, Acura’s three-row SUV, makes a statement, too. It’s high, wide and handsome, as the saying went, with subtle details. This is the fourth generation of what Acura claims the best-selling luxury SUV of all time. When it debuted, back in 2001, it wasn’t a luxury vehicle, and the Europeans might get sniffy about that distinction even today, but there’s no question that the MDX now belongs in the yacht-club parking lot.
There’s no doubting the luxury of its spacious, 7-seat cabin, either, with attractive leather, suede, wood and aluminum. The beauty is more than skin-deep, too. From the ergonomics of the driver’s cockpit to the adjustability of the rear seats and the accessibility of the child-seat tethers—plus the headroom and sightlines, the backup camera coverage, the processing power of the computer, the volume of the cargo bay and more—seemingly everything has been evaluated and improved.
The new MDX is tech-heavy, but sophisticated enough that it’s relatively simple to use. If you’ve got Alexa at home, here in the car she can plug a destination into the nav system, tune the radio, check the weather or call the kids. Or we can say, “Alexa, tell me about the new 2022 Acura MDX!”
She might begin with the 290-horsepower V-6, a new, seamless 10-speed Sportshift automatic transmission and Comfort, Normal and Sport drive modes. With the optional torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, the MDX offers 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. Alexa might not mention our disappointing 17 MPG fuel efficiency, but she might tell us that a Type S MDX will soon be available too, with a 355HP turbo Six and AWD standard.
Alexa could also point out that the MDX’s structure has been stiffened and re-shaped, and its bonding strengthened, for better handling and crash protection. (The size, shape and placements of some of the airbags have advanced also.) Then the brakes, wheels and tires grew larger, and the suspension was upgraded to suit. Each improvement drives a host of others downstream.
One result of all this is that the MDX can be placed precisely on the road, more like a sports sedan than a large SUV. The steering feels spooky light at first, but it is quick, direct and accurate, and acceleration and braking are tuned to match, for responsive driving, especially in Sport mode.
The active safety features are now more active and safer, too: Collision warning and braking assist, lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control and the various monitors have been refined for better performance with less annoying intrusion. For example, up to 6 MPH, the brake assistance (which works going ahead or in reverse) will override the throttle if the driver hits the wrong pedal by mistake, and the Collision Imminent! warning is less likely to cause a heart attack.
The computer screen is large and clear and the display can be customized. In addition to Alexa, there’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus navigation, a WiFi hotspot and an inductive smartphone charging pad. One new feature that could use further tweaking is the computer touchpad, which is both too sensitive and sometimes balky; there’s a learning curve.
The power liftgate has been fussed over as well. Like many others, it can be opened with a foot, when one’s arms are full of bags, but it can also close automatically too, when scooping those bags up again. The warning buzzer is quieter and less annoying now, and the opening height of the gate is adjustable.
The MDX needed an overhaul to stay competitive, and it got a good one. Our example, a top-of-the-range model with the Advance and Tech trim packages and all-wheel drive, lists for $62,175. The Type S should cost a few grand more, but the base model dips to $48,000, with Technology and A-Spec trim levels filling in between it and our Advance model.

Plant-Based Eatery – Aratham Gourmet To Go – Opens in Downtown Detroit
January 20, 2022
Featuring rotating lunch, dinner, catering and fresh snack options
Click here to download high-resolution images
Thursday, January 20 [DETROIT] – Aratham Gourmet To Go today announced the Grand Opening in Downtown Detroit on Monday, January 24, 2022. Located in Bedrock’s historic Chrysler House (719 Griswold Suite #100), Aratham Gourmet To Go will bring a new wave of healthy cuisine options to Detroit’s expanding restaurant scene.
Aratham specializes in sourcing plant-based and organic foods to support holistic lifestyles – including a full range of side dishes, entrees, juices and desserts; and natural supplements, candles, soaps and more.
“Aratham is a labor of love in every sense of the word. Love, quality, health and creativity in plant-based cooking is the essence of Aratham,” said Gabriel and Tiffanie Vera, co-owners of Aratham. “We truly care about our customers, our community and the health of the planet. It’s because of this love that we developed a menu that is gourmet in quality, plant-based and lower in price. Food can heal and fortify, and we fully believe organic, gourmet cuisine and other natural products for the home and body should be affordable for all.”
The Downtown Detroit location is Aratham’s third expansion, and the rotating takeaway menu will feature Aratham favorites such as their popular plant-based crab cakes, “Lobster” po boys, soups, salads, fresh juices and Aratham’s own Elderberry syrups.
“Aratham will bring Detroit residents, commuters and visitors a convenient yet elevated experience that is new to the market,” said Naumann Idrees, Bedrock’s Senior Vice President of Leasing. “Gabriel and Tiffanie have a unique skillset and background and are perfectly positioned to provide excellent plant-based cuisine.”
Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
More details and full menu can be viewed at Aratham.com.
Aratham originally launched in 2019 as a meal delivery service by award-winning Chef Gabriel Vera and his wife Tiffanie. After years of successs, the couple opened ‘to go’ locations across metro-Detroit in a response to high public demand organic cuisine.
“We believe take away, grab & go meals should be delicious, interesting, fresh and healthy - the opening of the new Aratham Gourmet To Go storefront allows the Detroit community to stop in and purchase a variety of organic, plant-based foods quickly and conveniently, without sacrificing taste or nutrition,” Gabriel and Tiffanie said.
Gabriel Vera served as Director of Food and Beverage and Executive Chef at MGM Grand, Joe Vicari Restaurant Group (Andiamo, Joe Muer), Mission Point on Mackinac Island, Hilton and the Hyatt, Saltwater, Four Diamond and others. He is a sommelier and gold and silver medalist of the Culinary World Cup, Luxembourg; IKA Culinary Olympics, and others and received awards for ice and vegetable carvings among many other accolades.
Tiffanie Vera, a naturopath who is a trained birth and postpartum doula, is also a previous director of some of Detroit’s trendiest bars. She left the spirits industry to focus on holistic healing. Tiffanie emphasizes that Aratham is designed to fill a void in the region - of food that is prepared and cooked with love, concern, and appreciation for whomever consumes it, and with passion and love for all beings on the planet. She brings the essence of community and family to Aratham along with the determination to never stray from the mission of zero waste, organic, plant-based, eco-friendly foods and products.
Aratham Gourmet To Go, a plant-based, organic, chef-driven meal delivery service that focuses on affordable, creative gourmet cuisine, currently with two location in Troy and Westland, Michigan.
The new shops are a game-changer in natural foods and products with menu offerings of high-quality, delicious, flavorful, plant-based breakfast, lunch, early dinner, desserts, sides, juices, superfoods, and more, including fresh produce and supplements plus locally-crafted, natural personal care items – all at affordable prices.

YOU really needed earplugs to watch the jet car. The sound it made as it screamed past was utterly magnificent, but so loud it was actually painful.
Yesterday I thought I’d do something completely different to get my petrolhead kicks, which is why I jumped in the back of a mate’s Saab for the long journey down the M1 to Santa Pod in Northamptonshire. The UK’s home of drag racing was having one of its ‘Run What Ya Brung’ days for Mini owners, called Mini In The Park.
The event does pretty much what it says on the tin – you pay a couple of quid, line your pride and joy up alongside someone else’s pride and joy at the start of a quarter mile dragstrip, and see who gets to the other end first.
Even though I wasn’t driving it was a joy to watch, particularly because there was definitely an unofficial element of Mini (the cheeky Brit runaround I’ve owned a couple of) versus MINI (the BMW-engineered city slicker of today). It was genuinely close stuff in some of the races – yes, the modern motor’s got more power as standard, but the older cars came with all sorts of weird and wonderful modifications to make them go even faster. When one new MINI made a blistering start, only to make a large bang and deposit several expensive-looking bits of intercooler along the run, I wasn’t sure if I was meant to laugh or cry.
A really quick run in a hotted-up Mini was somewhere between 10 and 15 seconds, but to appreciate the difference between really quick and a proper dragster you just had to see the jet car, a machine which manages to bend time because it’s so brutally fast. I simply cannot believe it did a quarter of a mile in less than FIVE seconds, but it did, doing 265mph when it crossed the line! To put it into perspective, that’s nought to the top speed of a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in a quarter of the length of Lord Street in Southport in less than the time it’ll have taken you to read this sentence. Surreal stuff.
Even though I’ll make sure I bring some earplugs again next time, drag racing’s definitely worth the 350 mile round trip. In car nut terms it was like Christmas had come early, only there was a different sort of Santa involved.
Life On Cars took these pictures of the event:


This was the first time, not only in Israel but also in the world, that F35 planes shot down two enemy aircraft in an air-to-air missile.
By World Israel News Staff
In recent months, Israel has thwarted attempts to launch armed aircraft and drones from Iran, an IDF spokesman revealed Sunday evening, Channel 12 reported.
This was the first time, not only in Israel but also in the world, that F35 planes shot down two enemy aircraft in an air-to-air missile, the report said.
The IDF activity was carried out far from the border and did not threaten civilians or facilities, the spokesman said.
The F35 has a radar that can detect both small and slow targets – like the drones – as well as air-to-air missiles that can hit and intercept them, despite their size.
“UAV interceptions were carried out in the area’s skies in coordination with neighboring countries, thus preventing intrusion into Israel,” the spokesman said. “The UAVs were monitoring the control and detection systems throughout their flight.”
Israel has begun establishing a regional air defense program in cooperation with a number of countries in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf to detect and intercept unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles, with one country able to assist the defense of another, the report continued.
Israel is using various intelligence devices in an attempt to detect these launch attempts in advance. It has also upgraded the Iron Dome system so that it can cope better.
A series of experiments has also been completed to deal with the drones and cruise missiles deployed by Iran in the region.

[YAKSON] APPLES' HEALING POWERS!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
There is a British old saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Have you heard that having an apple in the morning is very good?
So, apples are good for our bodies that much.
Then how do apples work for our bodies?
Apples are rich in potassium.
Potassium helps to release salts in our body.
In other words, it helps to lower blood pressure.
Apples contain a large amount of quercetin.
Quercetin has antioxidants and prevent skin aging.
Apple quercetin enhances lung function, which can protect the lung from contaminant and cigarette smoke.
Pectin is a water-soluble dietary fiber rich in apples.
It is effective in promoting bowel movement, preventing constipation.
It is also good for skin care by absorbing toxic ingredients and preventing gas in the intestines.
Pectin also prevents colorectal cancer and reduces cholesterol.
Apples are rich in various organic acids and vitamins C, K, A and B.
Malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, etc., contained in apples in large quantities helps to release stress and fatigue.
How to choose good apples?
① Pick an apple which has the fresh top.
② Tap the apple lightly to see if it sounds firm.
③ Choose an apple with rough skin, rather than smooth one.
We have learned about the benefits of apples for our bodies!
The proper daily intake of apples is half a day!

FED updated the draft reporting form (FR VV-1) and instructions in connection with the Volcker rule amendments that were finalized in November 2019. FED has also published the related technical guidance, by the relevant US Agencies, for preparing and submitting the quantitative measurements. Each banking entity that meets the relevant thresholds must furnish quantitative measurements, as applicable, for each of its trading desks engaged in covered trading activity. The instructions for preparing and submitting quantitative measurement information provide guidance for the submission of the Narrative Statement, the trading desk information schedule, the quantitative measurements information schedules, and each applicable quantitative measurement to the agency.
If a banking entity and one or more of its affiliates are required to report quantitative measurements to the agency, the banking entity and its affiliate(s) should prepare one combined submission to the agency that follows the instructions, the technical specifications guidance, and the XML schema. Banking entities with significant trading assets and liabilities are required to report metrics for each trading day of the month on a quarterly basis to the agency. If a banking entity reports metrics and subsequently determines that it no longer has significant total trading assets and liabilities, the banking entity should report metrics for the trading days in the past calendar quarter but is not required to report metrics going forward until the banking entity again has significant trading assets and liabilities.
Banking entities subject to the reporting requirement should collect metrics for each calendar month and report these metrics within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter, unless the agency notifies the banking entity in writing that it must report on a different basis. The banking entity may submit in a separate electronic document a Narrative Statement to the agency with any information the banking entity views as relevant for assessing the information reported. The Narrative Statement may include further description of or changes to calculation methods, identification of material events, description of and reasons for changes in the banking entity’s trading desk structure or trading desk strategies, and when any such changes occurred.

Bristol Borough, PA
- The year Bristol Borough became a supply port, and an integral part to the development of the American Industrial Revolution, due to its location on the Delaware River.
- The song “Bristol Stomp” by The Dovells reaches the second spot on the Billboard pop chart, remaining a local favorite to this day.
- Number of acres worth of shipyard that produced amphibious planes, cargo ships, and merchant vessels between World War I and World War II.
Founded in 1681, Bristol Borough is nestled along the picturesque Delaware River, which is among the city’s greatest assets, and midway between Philadelphia and New York. The self-described “gritty” town benefits from an East Coast resiliency but is also home to incredibly caring, hospitable residents and leaders with an energy that’s pushing the town into the future.
“When the mills closed, the jobs left, and the malls happened to come up at the same time, and this town went into a deep sleep.”
– Bill Pezza, Chairperson, Raising the Bar
Bristol Borough’s history closely parallels the economic, commercial, and industrial history of the United States. In the late ’60s, U.S. Steel Corporation closed their facilities just up the road and thousands of employees lost their jobs. In turn, downtown Bristol Borough lost an incredible amount of traffic. But what the people didn’t lose was their passionate desire to improve the town, restoring its former glory with an eye to an even better future.
“We have a lot of challenges that we have to address but the people here have a passionate desire to change this town and I think that’s what makes us different than others.”
– Bill Pezza
Home to the country’s oldest consistently running inn, Bristol Borough’s rich history is apparent all over town. Now, it’s all about attracting more people to what Bristol Borough calls the “best undiscovered treasure in the United States.”

Structural Dynamical Monitoring and Fault DiagnosisView this Special Issue
Study on Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearing Based on Time-Frequency Generalized Dimension
The condition monitoring technology and fault diagnosis technology of mechanical equipment played an important role in the modern engineering. Rolling bearing is the most common component of mechanical equipment which sustains and transfers the load. Therefore, fault diagnosis of rolling bearings has great significance. Fractal theory provides an effective method to describe the complexity and irregularity of the vibration signals of rolling bearings. In this paper a novel multifractal fault diagnosis approach based on time-frequency domain signals was proposed. The method and numerical algorithm of Multi-fractal analysis in time-frequency domain were provided. According to grid type J and order parameter q in algorithm, the value range of J and the cut-off condition of q were optimized based on the effect on the dimension calculation. Simulation experiments demonstrated that the effective signal identification could be complete by multifractal method in time-frequency domain, which is related to the factors such as signal energy and distribution. And the further fault diagnosis experiments of bearings showed that the multifractal method in time-frequency domain can complete the fault diagnosis, such as the fault judgment and fault types. And the fault detection can be done in the early stage of fault. Therefore, the multifractal method in time-frequency domain used in fault diagnosis of bearing is a practicable method.
Recently, modern industry is gradually developing in the direction of large-scale, continuous, high speed, and artificial intelligence, with the main advantage of improving productivity, reducing the rejection rate, and ensuring quality of products. But on the other hand, once there is some fault happening on modern sophisticated equipment or structure, the maintenance costs would be much increased and may even lead to major accident .
Rolling bearings have been widely used in various rotating machinery and play an important role in rotating machinery, which is easy to go wrong. With the improvement of automation equipment and device complexity, as well as the wide usage of large-scale rotating machinery in engineering, high security and advanced fault prediction capability for the devices and the new fault diagnosis methods are required. Therefore, the fault diagnosis analysis of rolling bearing, especially the correct detection of the early failure has practical value in extending service life and reducing cost. There is a wide range of needs in the exploration and application of bearing fault diagnostic. It has practical significance, broad market prospect, and economic value in the social development [2, 3].
As a newly arisen subject, fractal theory is especially suitable for analyzing complex system. Fractal theory is used in the area of fault analyzing of mechanical system as a current trend in academia. Based on the fractal theory, the vibration signals of mechanical system are analyzed, and fractal dimension is extracted as the feature information, and then the running state of the system can be analyzed not qualitatively but also quantitatively. Used with fractal theory, the faults of complex machinery system can be diagnosed, which can improve the fault identification and analysis ability. It is a practical and promising signal analyzing method for machinery devices. Based on the results of previous studies, this paper presents some research on the vibration signals in time-frequency domain by fractal theory. According to the simulation and experimental data, the result has shown that the analysis result varies with different vibration signals. Compared with the obvious differences in dimensions and parameters for different bearing failures, the method can be used for fault diagnosis.
2. Empirical Mode Decomposition and Time-Frequency Transform
In essence, the decomposition process for a signal based on EMD is a smooth processing for a signal. This decomposition will gradually decompose a complex nonlinear and nonstationary signal into different components of intrinsic mode function (IMF) and the remaining final trend. Each basic component has different characteristic scales, and the component of low-frequency limit stands for the trend and DC component of the original signal. As each intrinsic mode function stands for different local features of the original signal, different local features of the original signal can be acquired by separately analyzing the intrinsic mode function .
The signal acquired is still a time-series signal, and the basic parameters to express signal feature are time and frequency . The time characteristic scale describes the variations of signal with time, and the other signal parameter is frequency characteristic scale. The common Fourier transform can express the frequency characteristic in overall scale. The instantaneous frequency can express the frequency characteristic and time characteristic. So the instantaneous frequency can be more convincing in expressing signals [8, 9].
For signal , through Hilbert transform, can be acquired. Its analytic signal is
Instantaneous frequency is
It can be transformed into difference format, and the frequency can be expressed as:
If sample frequency is , instantaneous frequency can be defined as follows according to discrete-time signal :
Phase can be acquired by arctan function, which has the characteristic of periodicity. The value of phase is between and . Therefore, phase distribution has discontinuous characteristic on the change point. When the value of phase extends to , phase aberration can be produced.
Phase unwrapping algorithm is to compare the principle value of adjacent points. Consider
If exceeds some threshold (such as ), then there is jump in the phase. According to positive-negative sign of , phase jump value can be adjusted. If , ; if , . And is the practical phase.
3. Numerical Algorithm of Generalized Dimension in Time-Frequency Domain
Currently, the fractal theory which is used in feature extraction of vibration signals is restricted in time domain. For the nonlinear and nonstationary signal, it is not enough to only analyze in the aspect of time domain. Combining the advantages of time domain and frequency domain, time-frequency analysis method is more suitable for the nonlinear and nonstationary vibration signal analysis of rotating machinery . For time-varying characteristics of nonstationary signals, the one-dimensional signal is extended to two-dimensional time-frequency plane for calculation. The purpose is to describe the frequency components of signal or the variations of energy distribution. Using EMD decomposition for the original signal, various basic mode components and the corresponding instantaneous frequencies can be obtained with high time-frequency concentration and signal analyzing capability .
Multi-fractal in time-frequency domain is a method which describes the complexity of energy distribution. The traditional time domain fractal of vibration signal is based on geometric measures. By analyzing the energy distribution variations of the signals measured, Multi-fractal analysis in time-frequency domain can extract the quantitative characteristics of vibration signals. The numerical calculating method of generalized dimension of vibration signals in time-frequency domain is shown as follows.
As time series is and is carried on EMD decomposition and instantaneous frequency transform, the formula is obtained as follows:
Based on the formula above, amplitude matrix was obtained by normalization. Each point in matrix corresponds to one time and one instantaneous frequency. The squared value of the points stands for normalization energy in time-frequency domain.
Similar to sampling space division of time-domain signal , stands for grid width, and stands for the number of data points of grid generation, which is called grid type. The number of rows and columns is separately set to , . If the grid of row and column is , the energy of grid is , and the energy distribution probabilities of grid is
According to the above formula, can be calculated.
Define , , and ; is the slope of characteristic straight line (generalized dimensions) and is offset and the function can be defined as follows:
According to least square method, the condition of getting the minimum value for the function is
Then the following equation can be obtained through calculation:
When , it stands for box dimension; when , it stands for information dimension; when , it stands for correlation dimension. According to the rule, we can obtain . When different failures happen in rolling bearing, there are differences between each dimension. Particularly in the condition of high dimensions, the failure type of bearing can be judged by the differences.
4. Chosen Principle of Grid Type and Order Parameter
Through the experimental comparison analysis for the grid generation of time-frequency signal, the change and stability of the multifractal is different when selecting different grid type , which can be shown in Figure 1. How to select grid type is studied from the aspect of fractal geometry and the multifractal original definition to know the character of under different grid type .
Fractal is an expression of object self-similar, so it can indicate the complexity of the measured object. While when the observation scale of the measured object is different, its complexity is not the same also. For example, when the map scale changed from big to small, the geomorphic characteristics are more and more complex. That means that the more precise the map is divided, the higher the degree of complexity is. And that is the same for signal, which is the signal observed under high-resolution that is different from that under low resolution. And the Nyquist sampling theorem restricts the sampling rate in the process of signal acquisition.
In fractal theory, this theorem can be interpreted that the measured object should be divided into two parts at least for the self-similarity comparison. Moreover, the amount of information of every part should be same and without overlap to do the self-similarity comparison. So the largest segmentation scale of the measured object is half of itself. There are two scales of time-frequency for the signal in time and frequency domain, so the amount of information cannot be larger than a quarter of the whole information. The higher limit value of grid type can be obtained based on this theory.
For the discrete signal, it is the direct sampling value with some loss and error during the process of sampling, processing, and calculation. To eliminate the error, longer time series is used in digital signal processing. So the grid type cannot be too small; otherwise, the miscalculation may increase because of the lack of information. Therefore, how to get the lower limit value of grid type is studied.
The following is the definition of the generalized dimension, which is introduced by Renyi for the first time and found in the singular collection research by Junsheng et al. :where is called generalized entropy:
Most of the fractal dimensions in the self-similar fractal theory are included in . Several properties of can be got by analyzing the formula above:(1);(2)the sum of generalized fractal dimension is monotonically decreasing with strictly.
The grid type can be verified by the two properties above. The is appropriate if it meets the two properties; otherwise, it is inappropriate. And the lower limit of can be got by this method.
From a large number of simulations and experiments, when the information distribution of the measured object is different, the lower limit of grid type is different, which has some laws as follows.(1)The value size distribution can affect the lower limit grid type when the data distribution is the same; the wider the value distribution range is, the smaller the lower limit of grid type will be.(2)The range and density of the data distribution can affect the lower limit of grid type when the value is the same; the wider the data distribution range and the larger the density are, the smaller the lower limit of grid type will be.
There is identifiable information in other extracted parameters in different degrees. But it does not mean that the more the characteristics are extracted, the more the useful information there will be. When the amount of characteristics reaches a certain limit, the correlation will be enhanced inevitably. But it is useless for increasing useful classified information, even the identified performance may be weakened in some cases because the important characteristics may be submerged in the unimportant characteristics.
The range of order parameter mainly affects the extracted parameters and different means that different subsets play different roles in function. Appropriate selection of can not only reflect the multifractal characteristics, but also be able to decrease correlation among different parameters as much as possible. Multi-fractal analysis divides the object to several levels with different levels through different . Theoretically, the bigger the range of is, the better the results will be got .
In the real calculation, the value of has some limits; for example, much bigger absolute value of can lead to the several times workload and overflow error will happen definitely when increases to a certain level. On the other hand, if the range of in low level, the change of is unstable but this cannot overall reflect the multifractal spectrum of the sample . So the range of can be cut off at this moment when the continued increase of cannot affect the calculation result. is selected between 0 and 9 in this paper.
5. Simulation Analysis
Two groups of simulation signals generated by LabVIEW are compared to validate the feasibility of the theory as in Table 1.
From the intensity matrixes shown in Figures 2 and 3, the energy distribution of the two signal groups is roughly the same, but the energy size of them is different. The curves can be got after doing generalized dimension calculation (the grid type ) for the two energy intensity matrixes.
From the curves in Figure 4, the simulation Signal 2 meets the requirement when the grid type which has a wide amplitude distribution, while the simulation Signal 1 does not reach the lower limit of its grid type obviously. So it is explained that Rule is correct. Then four simulation signals which have the same amplitude are selected to verify Rule as in Table 2.
From the graphs, comparing between Signal 1 and Signal 2, Signal 1 does not meet the requirement when ; the two curves meet the requirement of the minimum grid type when , but the difference is still small; the two curves have some obvious differences when ; and the differences of the two curves increase and the change of them has been stable. Comparing between Signal 1 and Signal 3, the suitable of the two signals is not selected out when ; Signal 1 has reached the lower limit of the grid type when and 20, but Signal 2 still has not. The two signals all reach the lower limit of when , so it is explained that Rule is correct.
From the simulation experiments, the generalized dimension of different signals has good differentiation and stability while is within a certain range. The difference of generalized dimension is becoming not obvious when approaches its upper limit, and the generalized dimension is meaningless when exceeds its upper limit. When , 150, 150, and 170, the calculation for the signal is shown in Figure 13 in which grid type is about 140. From the figure, curve does not satisfy the monotonous restriction and loses its significance when exceeds 140.
Therefore, the lower limit of grid type is almost constant when the measured object is constant. To distinguish the difference of the generalized dimension when the fault happens, the grid type is selected which is higher than the lower limit until the difference can be distinguished. Meanwhile, the grid type cannot be too high, which will only increase the amount of computation but the changes of the differences are not obvious.
6. Fault Diagnosis Example of Rolling Bearing
From the simulation experiments, the generalized dimension can distinguish the different signals, while different signal components are generated when different faults happen to bearing, so this method can be applied in the bearing fault diagnosis. The experiment has been done in this paper to test the feasibility of the time-frequency domain dimension method further.
Doing time-frequency domain generalized dimension analysis for the real bearing measurement signal which is got by the acceleration sensor, the experimental process is shown in Figure 14.
We use the method on draught fan bearing fault detection. Table 3 is the bearing information of the equipment.
Figure 15 is the mechanical structure of the fan. The main objects are motor bearings, wheel bearings, and fan bearings. At the same time, the signal measured position is marked in the figure.
The information in detail of each measuring point is given in Table 4.
The analysis frequency of the measurement is 1 k Hz, and the sampling point is 1 kb. Data acquisition equipment information is given in Table 5.
We obtained large fault data after long period measurement. Those data could be classified to four types: the fault-free signal, bearing cages fault signal, inner ring fault signal, and outer ring fault signal. Those signals are selected to be analyzed.
The decomposition results of the four signals by EMD are shown in Table 6.
From the EMD results, the four signals have different signal components. To know the characteristics of the signal components, doing the instantaneous frequency calculation and energy calculations for the four signals, respectively, the energy intensity matrix can be got as in Figures 20, 21, 22, and 23.
The energy distributions of the four signals are different at individual frequency scale. To show the difference clearly, making the grid type and from 0 to 9, doing generalized dimension calculation to the time-frequency domain energy matrixes for four signals, then a series of dimension values can be got as in Tables 7, 8, 9, and 10.
The curves for the four groups of data are shown in Figure 24.
From Figure 24, the of the fault signal is bigger than the one of the normal signal, and the value difference between every fault signal and normal signal is also different. The fault type can be estimated according to the difference. So the time-frequency domain dimension method can be applied in rolling bearing fault diagnosis.
Generalized dimension spectrum has been obtained after the signals are calculated by doing time-frequency domain generalized dimension method; slight difference in different singles can be distinguished based on different values of generalized dimension spectrum. And the specific algorithm and experimental analysis method have been provided. The correctness of the time-frequency domain generalized dimension method has been verified by simulation signals analysis and experimental signals analysis. The result shows that the numerical distribution of fractal dimension is different and has obvious separability under different fault modes. This indicates the correctness and feasibility of estimating the bearing fault condition qualitatively and quantitatively by time-frequency domain generalized dimension. For single or various fault types of rolling bearing, the fault mode can be confirmed by comparing the generalized fractal dimension spectrum value with the generalized fractal dimension value in the sample databases.
The working feature of bearing can be extracted by time-frequency generalized fractal dimension method. It can be applied to the diagnosis of the rolling bearing fault, and it is a simple and effective method to recognize accurately the fault models, which opens a new way for the rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

In that quintessential breakthrough year of modern jazz -- 1957 -- Norman Granz was fond of pairing the legendary drummerless trio of Oscar Peterson with several different stars from the Jazz at the Philharmonic concert series. In this case, Stan Getz is the nominee, and Granz could not have found a better match for the pianist alongside his peerless combo than the ripe, mature, and bebopping tenor saxophonist. It was a one-shot deal, the only official collaboration between Getz and Peterson, expanded on this edition of the Silver Collection series with tracks from the complete session, with no alternate takes or bonus tracks and recorded entirely in monaural. Unlike Art Tatum -- who could never really restrain his notions to always cut loose -- Peterson sounds relatively relaxed on this date, understanding that Getz was also not going to shred up every tune they played. With guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown, the quartet members not only have all the rhythmic cohesion they need without a formal timekeeper, but interact in a way that approaches telepathic or magical. In short, the quartet is in the zone like few groups ever achieve in a studio setting. They zip through a bop-based edition of "I Want to Be Happy," a hopped-up adaptation of "Sweet Georgia Brown" titled "Tour's End," and the flawless "Three Little Words" like they are child's play. The strong Kansas City cum Texas-style guitar of Ellis cannot be denied during "Bronx Blues," while Getz reins in the countrified air of the jam in a laid-back but downtown fashion. During the great song (penned by Ellis) "Detour Ahead," heard here in an instrumental, post-Billie Holiday version, the ensemble shows ultimate flexibility, heightened by the tenor saxophonist's touching yet firm grasp of the melody. Aside from the closer, "Blues for Herky," with a choppy guitar from Ellis and a New Orleans-type feel, the rest of the material consists of ballads or midtempo cool tunes. This is where Peterson is most surprising, toning down his act, interpreting the songs with the precision of a diamond cutter, and using his acute listening skills to the fullest. Those bedazzled by the utter virtuosity of the pianist should listen more closely to this recording to hear how his taste level is as elevated as the monster technique he possesses. While "I Was Doing All Right" approaches a lounge sound, the five-tune "Ballad Medley" displays Peterson at his best, especially on his feature, "How Long Has This Been Going On." On this great album for the times and all time, these wonderful musicians are on from the word go, providing 60 priceless minutes of music that any mainstream jazz lover can embrace. ~ Michael G.
