Twentieth century philosopher, Charles Sanders Peirce claimed that "all the evolution we know proceeds from the vague to the definite." According to Peirce, the evolutionary process is a progression from the question to the answer and, ultimately, the fog is lifted from our eyes. Despite Charles's innovative theory, he clearly has not seen any movie trailers within the past thirty or so years. Similar to their 90-minute counterparts, movie trailers can conceptually and stylistically evolve over the years and have done just that within the past few decades. In the 1970s, movie trailers were straightforward advertisements, attempting to persuade viewers to watch the movie. Movie trailers have evolved over the years to become works of art in themselves. Viewers are no longer told directly what the movie will be about. Instead, movie trailers have become ambiguous and mysterious, enticing people to watch the full movie in order to discover the rest of the film's content. When it comes to movie trailers, Charles Sanders Peirce is wrong. The evolution of movie trailers has not progressed from the vague to the definite, rather the very opposite.
In earlier decades, watching a movie trailer required little to no effort. Most viewers could watch the two-and-a-half minute clip and could generally walk away with an understanding of what the movie would be about as well as the names of the actors and director of the film. Copious amounts of third-party narration were utilized in movie trailers of the 1970s. The trailer for Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese 1976) exemplifies the vast extent of information narrators gave audiences in only a couple of minutes. In just three minutes, the narrator highlights Robert De Niro's acting credentials and the plot of the movie. "For his performance in The Godfather Part II, they gave [De Niro] the Academy Award. Robert De Niro creates a terrifying portrait of life on the edge of madness." Narration in Star Wars' (George Lucas 1977) movie trailer provides an even more in depth plot summary for viewers. The narrator describes Star Wars as "the story of a boy, a girl, and a universe. It's a big sprawling space saga of rebellion and romance. It's a spectacle light years ahead of its time. It's an epic of heroes, and villains and aliens from a thousand worlds. A billion years in the making." Movie trailers combined movie clips with heavy narration to inform viewers precisely what the film was about.
Not only was narration as means of communicating the plot of the movie trailer, but also to tell audiences how they should feel about the movie. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's (Tobe Hooper 1974) trailer informs audiences how they will feel upon watching the film. "This is the film is positively ruthless in its attempt to drive you absolutely out of your mind. This is the horror movie to end them all." This targets audiences' curiosity and their willingness to accept a challenge. Audience members will question what about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that makes it the most terrifying horror movie of its time, and whether or not they have the courage to witness it.
Stylistically, movie trailers of the 1970s were as straightforward as their narration. The movie clips are moderately paced with little to no music. Taxi Driver's movie trailer contains no music, rather, just clips of dialogue between characters paired with third-party commentary and narration. Star Wars' movie trailer alternates between a black screen with "Star Wars" in blue type during the narration and clips of action scenes. Although the clips shown in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's movie trailer are shown at a relatively faster pace than the previous two movies discussed, the duration of the clips are longer unlike many trailers for horror films today.
Much of the narration that dominated movie trailers in previous decades disappeared by the 1980s. Instead, clips of dialogue amongst the movie's characters replaced the third-party narrator, and indirectly informed audiences about the characters and the movie's plot. When viewing movie trailers during the 1980s, audiences could still walk away with a clear understanding of the movie's plot; only the messenger had changed. Top Gun's(Tony Scott 1986) movie trailer mashes together several clips of dialogue amongst the characters, which reveal the film's plot to audiences. Audiences infer from the series of clips in Top Gun's trailer that the film is about a fighter pilot named Maverick (Tom Cruise) who wins the opportunity to attend an elite aviation school and strives to beat the school's top pilot, Iceman (Val Kilmer).
This new method of storytelling causes 1980s movie trailers to become faster paced than in previous decades. Trailers showcase more of the movie's clips within a few-minute time span. Music and sound effects also play more prominent roles in movie trailers and reveal the tone of the movie. The Shining (Stanley Kubrick 1980)has the shortest movie trailer at one minute and forty-five seconds, yet the combination of the fast-paced violent clips and music reveal the terror experienced by the characters in the film. Although movie trailers cut-down on the use of narrators, they still offered a pretty straightforward account of what was to come in the movie.
During the 1990s, movie trailers started to develop into an art form. Rather than communicating a movie's plot, movie trailers used music and symbols to unsettle audiences, targeting their curiosity. Movie trailers' content was aimed to raise questions in audiences' minds and entice them into watching the movie so their questions could be answered. The trailer for It (Tommy Lee Wallace 1990) uses imagery and music to bewilder audiences into watching to movie. It's trailer contains no dialogue; just a series of clips while clown-esque plays the entire two-and-a-half minute duration. In the beginning of the trailer, a young girl stands in her yard curiously looking at and smiling toward the clown. The camera cuts to a low-angle shot of the yard and shows white sheets hanging on a laundry line blowing in the wind with trees and the sky in the background. Images of the child and the white sheets symbolize innocence while the trees and the sky symbolize life and endless opportunity. The music becomes louder and faster and the trailer cuts to clips of the clown in a sewer and digging a grave, which symbolize darkness and death. No narration tells audiences who the clown is and audiences are left wondering "was this clown once good and then turned evil?" and "what are his motives for terrifying people?" Watching the movie is the only way to decipher the symbols provided by the trailer.
By the 2000s, the art of movie trailers and its symbolism transformed into something even more vague and abstract. Movie trailers of the 2000s are characterized by lots of music, dialogue, and rapid cuts with intricate images and symbols. Trailers do not directly inform viewers of the movies' exact plot; instead, the audience is supposed to infer or derive the supposed plot on their own. Tree of Life (Terrence Malick 2011)is a somewhat extreme example of this phenomenon, but spotlights how movie trailers have reached an all-time high in ambiguity. The trailer begins with cuts to various images of the earth, ocean waves, trees in the beginning with the main female character's voice. She explains that "There are two ways through life: the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you will follow." Images of church pews, stained glass ceilings and other objects with religious connotations are juxtaposed to the previous cuts. The audience takes away from the trailer that the movie is about a man whose parents have opposite ideologies (his father's ideology being the way of nature, his mother's being the way of grace), however no information is given beyond that. Audiences are left to wonder how this influences the character and his pursuits, and questions what the man's pursuits actually are. Movie trailers of the 2000s are a step up in ambiguity from the 1990s and a far cry from the straightforward 1970s.
Charles Sanders Peirce is wrong when it comes to the evolution of movie trailers. Movie trailers have evolved from straightforward advertisements to ambiguous works of art. Albert Einstein claimed that "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world stimulating progress and giving birth to evolution." In the current era of trailers, communicating the plot is less important than in previous times. Now, the emphasis is placed on provoking viewers' imaginations.
Recut movie trailers are similar to Einstein's claim that imagination is more important than knowledge. The whole purpose of watching recut trailers is to momentarily disregard our previous knowledge about a movie's original plot and use our creativity to imagine the same characters and same scenes used in a different context.
Just like regular movie trailers, the recut trailers averaged between two and three minutes. Recuts communicate their new plotlines through establishing shots, voice overs, and extensive typography. Many recut trailers utilize an establishing shot in the beginning of the trailer to help set the tone for the new plotline of the movie. For example, in a recut trailer for School of Rock, the editor uses clips of the school and its empty hallways where Dewey Finn (Jack Black) teaches in order to set the tone for the terror that will happen later in the trailer. Also, the editors the audio of a character speaking from one clip and use it as narration for a different clip in the movie to give it a different meaning. This technique was used frequently in the Superbad recut trailer, which turned the comedy into a horror movie. It is difficult to turn funny scenes into scary ones so taking certain lines out of context and placing them in other scenes is necessary. Finally, extensive typography is used to facilitate the viewers' understanding of the new trailer. Every recut trailer that I watched used typography to reveal the movie's new plot. In the It recut trailer, typography was used eight times to describe the happenings in the trailer. Charles Sanders Peirce was wrong when it came to movies. Whether a regular movie trailer or a recut, editors have moved from obvious storytelling to pieces in which the viewer needs to use their imagination.
Trailers: Taxi Driver, Star Wars, Top Gun, The Shining, It, Tree of Life.
Recut Trailers: Superbad (comedy converted to horror), It (horror converted to family film), School of Rock (children's film converted to horror).

I wanted to take the opportunity to send in a staff commendation for Rebecca.
Bec has provided invaluable care, respite, domestic assistance and energy to our household since starting. She is always willing to go the extra mile and delivers a superior standard in everything that she does to support our family.
Towards the end of her shift last Friday my eldest son Jack (11) had his first anaphylactic reaction in nearly six years. Bec provided a huge level of support, reassurance, comfort and expertise to Jack, John and myself.
I usually run the show at home and in ED when Aidan goes in to an episode. This time I had the opportunity to just be mum (the one crying for a change) focusing solely on supporting Jack.
She simply didn't hesitate to extend all supports and cancel her personal plans for the evening. She delivered Jack and I to Fiona Stanley Hospital ED, managed the ED stay, returned to our house to monitor Aidan and reassure Olivia. This then gave John the opportunity to attend the ED and be present when Jack and I needed him.
She is a credit to your team and we remain eternally grateful for the support from At Home Care.
Both Sanford and I are very happy with At Home Care. LeeAnne is really easy and nice to deal with if we ever need anything changed or anything extra or less she is always onto it.
The carers we have on at the moment are great. Sanford and I get along with them well. We have a girl starting this week who is one of our friends, we look forward to her helping us out as well.
Thanks for checking up.
I admit to being apprehensive about coming home. For one reason – I'm rather solitary by nature, and I wasn't sure how I'd cope with all these carers coming and going. My fears were groundless, they are lovely ladies and I enjoy the time they are here.
I have become more independent with their help. If I want to attempt something by myself, they let me do so but they are ready to help if I struggle for too long. That is probably the most important thing to me.
As a result, when I look at all the small improvements overall, I've improved a great deal in these last two months. I looked at the care plan the other day. So much has changed. I no longer use a shower chair, can wash, dry and dress myself, and do plenty more besides. All the while, the carers are so supportive and encouraging, they have become like family to me.
It was really brought home to me when I passed my driver's test. Even the office staff knew about it and seemed genuinely pleased for me. It gave me such a good confidence boost and I feel ready to try more.
My house has been rearranged to suit my needs now, the staff making sure I was happy with their suggestions before going ahead, and that too has had a positive impact as I don't have to ask them to do everything for me.
In short, you have employed the cream of the crop and all of them have said what a good employer At Home is.
My At Home Angels have helped me so much and in so many ways I will always be grateful to you and them. I am once again enthusiastic about my future. It will be different to what I had envisaged, but there are still a few more chapters to write before the entire plot is revealed!
Shout out to Scarlett's awesome care provider, At Home Care. These guys have gone above and beyond, and we just can't thank them enough. Not only have they sponsored Scarlett through the Saba Rose Button Foundation RehabME program, but they have helped out with our NDIS planning, supported lots of our little mates, and are just the most amazing bunch of people out.
There's customer service, and then there's passion. They really are special!
Make sure you check out their [@athomecareteam instagram and facebook] page for all the fun things they get up to and be sure to get in touch if you have NDIS coming up, or ever need support from a registered nurse or support worker.
Jon and the team, thank you so much for being such a special part of Scarlett's journey. We don't know what we'd do without you.

Hey y'all!
Today is day 2 of the the #NaBloPoMo15 blog writing challenge! This is way easier than being on Periscope, although over there, my sarcasm shines right on through…hehe
Today's question is this:
What did you think was the coolest job in the world when you were younger? Do you still feel that way now?
I can't remember what I thought was the coolest job ever, but I remember everything that I wanted to be. A veterinarian, a marine biologist, a microbiologist, a book editor…and feel free to throw in some illusions of being a teacher, doctor and nurse. When I was in elementary school, we took a field trip to Mississippi State University and I got to pet a cow. This particular cow had a hole in its side so that we could see into its stomach through some sort of plastic/fiberglass window thing. It was the late 80s. I thought that was the coolest thing on the planet!
By way of fate, I actually ended up going to Mississippi State and by that point, wanted to be a marine biologist. I thought that it would be so neat to be in the water, studying the animals. I took a class in marine biology and almost failed it. At the same time, I discovered a dive shop and got certified. I realized that I could be in the water and not have to learn too much about the animals, so I decided I wanted to be a microbiologist (who happened to be a certified scuba diver!)
I studied hard, made it all the way to senior year in college, picked up medical technology as one of my minors and decided during the semester that I was to graduate, that I didn't want to be stuck inside a lab every day for the rest of my life. I switched majors and graduated a semester later with a degree in General Science.
After graduation, I worked at a hazardous waste disposal facility for 4.5 years. I got a CDL and drove a truck all across the country with, what basically boiled down to, components of potential environmental disaster. I left there and worked at the University of Memphis for 9 years, 11 months and 6 days. I worked as a manager in Environmental Health and Safety, served in several leadership positions for a nationally accredited organization, served on the university's Crisis Management Team and got a Master's Degree in Public Health, with a concentration in Emergency Preparedness and Response.
And now I'm trying to make a living by blogging, baking and planning parties.
I've had lots of work experiences and have been all over the country learning how to be the best safety professional that I could be. But I realized several years ago, that I was truly unhappy. I didn't know what to do about it because all I could be concerned with was making money and making sure the bills got paid; my happiness really wasn't a factor in anything. I put on my granny panties and sucked it up.
I found this image over at QuoteHD and I think that it couldn't be more appropriate that it was spoken by Confucius; my trip to China was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! And I don't completely agree with his words, because you will have to work and put the time, energy and effort into what you love, but you will still love it. You will not be angry, anxious or have any regrets about going to do your job each and every day. Don't be disillusioned that it might get tough, but what you love will always be worth fighting for.
I'm closer to 40 than I'd like to admit and I'm still finding my voice and discovering where I want to be, where I should be. I love making cookies and planning parties. I love building things with my bare hands and power tools. I love teaching taekwondo and training to be a better student. I know that my calling is evangelism and I minister to friends and strangers alike.
I have this magnet on my fridge and it's one that I read everyday. While I had a great idea of what I should be doing with my life, I know that life evolves and we have to as well. We have to grow, learn and live our lives. Find a job + career that you love and enjoy what you do! The best job is to have one where you're working with no regrets 🙂
What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing that now?

Coffee and Dreams by Ann Christine Tabaka
Day filled with coffee and
dreams, sour notes of songs
unsung. Eyes weep not for
lack of want. Towering passions
beyond deprived means.
Another day, same as the rest,
lingers on past the due date,
waiting for pangs of deliverance.
Duty paid, the ransom dear,
hours float by on a whisper.
Turnstile coins collect dust
on windowsills of desire.
Hands held high in surrender.
Coffee now cold and stale,
forgotten dreams fade.

Pet Pals
We had a wonderful afternoon with our friends from PetPals who brought along their very friendly rabbits, who really enjoyed some cuddles and TLC from our residents.
It's also a great activity for those residents who are nursed in bed, as PetPals make a special visit to everyone so no-one gets to miss out on some cuddles!
Animals offer both comfort physically and emotionally, bringing about much conversation, reminiscence, and laughter between our residents. There are many benefits of Animal Therapy, such as a decrease in stress & anxiety, loneliness but also improves joint movement, self-esteem and it's a great social activity too.

J was sworn into Air Cadets on Tuesday evening.
Reciting the oath or whatever
On Thursday evening he had his first taste of Tagging (standing outside stores asking for donations). He only had to do 3 hours outside a Zellers, but that is extremely long for a fidgety boy.
On Sunday, he had to Tag outside Foodland from 10:15 am to 5 pm. This Foodland is mostly frequented by the senior citizens that live in the senior building across the street. Apparently some of them thought he was cuter than the other cadet and told him so!

In 2 weeks time, he goes away for a survival weekend, he is really looking forward to that but from the photos on the squadron website, I think it may be more rustic than he is accustomed to.

If one were asked to describe a Cell Signaling Technology (CST) antibody sampler kit, we would totally understand an answer like, "it's an assortment of antibodies." Honestly, on its face, that answer isn't exactly wrong. It just makes the process seem a little random. Especially considering the reality:
Topics: Antibody Performance, Primary Antibodies
Have you ever wondered about the minds behind our antibodies? We talk a lot about validation, specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. All of that is very important, but that doesn't tell you much about who developed it.
Topics: Antibody Performance, Primary Antibodies, Antibody Validation
When you're shopping for antibodies, there are so many factors to consider. For example, will it work in my cell or tissue model? Has it been tested in the application I want to use? Sometimes it's a struggle to find what you need because your options are limited, but in other instances there may be several reagents that seem like they could work in your experiment.
Topics: Antibody Performance, Primary Antibodies, Antibody Validation
It's time to check out another video from the CST Tech Tips playlist! In this edition of Tech Tips, we'll tackle a common protocol question customers ask our ChIP team: how much antibody to use for chromatin immunoprecipitaion (ChIP) experiments. Adding more antibody isn't always better - watch the video to learn why.

The use of multiple antibodies in a single experiment can provide useful information to researchers. Co-staining with multiple antibodies and cellular dyes is a simple, low-content form of multiplex analysis. Techniques for performing multiplex analyses in cells and tissues are powerful research tools that are applicable to general cell biology studies as well as diagnostic purposes. These techniques allow researchers to detect multiple biomarkers to assess their samples. They also allow for easy colocalization studies to determine relationships between analytes. Here we describe two common techniques for fluorescent staining using multiple antibodies in the same assay.
Topics: Protocols, Antibody Performance, Primary Antibodies, IF-IC, Companion Reagents, techniques
Early exploration of unmapped biological signaling pathways were carried out using radiolabeled phospho-imaging. The development of phospho-specific antibodies to detect and quantify protein phosphorylation made life easier for researchers (less 32P waste to deal with), but the interpretation of data from these experiments comes with its own set of caveats.

Part four of a series on immunofluorescence techniques. Check out previous posts on Validation, Experimental Controls, and Fixation/Permabilization.After your samples have been prepared, it's time to incubate them with a well-validated antibody, the workhorse of immunofluorescence. If you are a seasoned pro at IF experiments, you are probably used to checking the antibody datasheet (or web page) for the recommended dilution. But have you ever wondered where those recommendations come from?

Part two of a four-part series on Immunofluorescence. Check out our posts on Validation and Fixation and Permeabilization.
After months of hard work, your research has honed in on a hypothesis you can test with immunofluorescence (IF). You've chosen antibodies and performed pilot IF experiments (see The Importance of Validation), and the localization of the protein appears reasonable. But how can you be sure the IF data you've acquired represents real biological phenomena? We present two examples of experimental controls in this post.

Part one of a four-part series on Immunofluorescence. Check out Experimental Controls and Fixation and Permeabilzation.
After months of hard work, your research has zeroed in on a hypothesis you can test with immunofluorescence (IF). But now you have to make a choice. How do you decide which antibody to use to get reliable IF results? How do you know if the images are accurately reporting the target's localization? We explore some considerations in this post.
Topics: Protocols, Antibody Performance, Primary Antibodies, Antibody Validation, IF-IC, Reproducility
Part 1 gave an overview on mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Now it's time to talk about how this strategy can be used to identify peptides with post-translational modifications (PTM) from a complex biological sample.

We've talked about the late start to autumn this year in Houston, and we're going to come very close to the latest start of fall on record. As a quick reminder, we're defining "fall" as the first temperature of 65 degrees, or below, on or after Sept. 1. If we look at the data for the city, which goes all the way back to 1889, we can see how late we are this year in reaching this temperature, which denotes the arrival of the first decently strong "fall" front.
Today is October 9. Note that since the official weather monitoring station was moved to Bush Intercontinental Airport in 1969, the average date of "fall" was September 16th, and this trend line has been flat. The latest beginning of "fall" for this site came in 2005, on Oct. 7. We passed that a couple of days ago. The latest ever start to fall dates all the way back to 1904, when the downtown weather station didn't measure a 65-degree night, or cooler, until Oct. 13. We'll come close to that this year. But will be break it? Probably not.
We're going to have one more sloppy humid day before some drier air arrives. Mostly cloudy skies should keep temperatures in the upper 80s, with some scattered showers and thunderstorms like the region saw Monday. While some of these storms could produce briefly heavy rain, we don't expect them to persist for too long.
We've also seen might higher water levels along the coast during the last day or so; this is due to stronger lunar tides, persistent southerly winds, and waves from the distant Hurricane Michael. The effects of this should ease by Wednesday morning, with the passage of a cool front and wind shift. A coastal flood advisory remains in effect until that time.
A moderate cool front—meaning it originates from the northwest instead of diving due south from Canada or the Arctic—arrives on Wednesday. Clearing skies will allow for highs to push up into the mid- to upper-80s, but we'll definitely notice the drier air as the Sun goes down. Lows Wednesday night will be in the upper 60s to 70s closer to the coast, and lower- to mid-60s inland.
Thursday and Friday
Thursday morning (Oct. 11) is Houston's first chance to record a 65-degree temperature at Bush Intercontinental, but it's not guaranteed. If we miss out on Thursday or Friday, we'll definitely hit it by next Monday. Either way, the end of the work week should be pleasant, with sunny days, highs in the lower 80s, and overnight lows in the 60s. Our first real taste of fall is going to be darn nice.
Saturday, Sunday, and beyond
Saturday should be a lot like Thursday and Friday, although we'll see a slight bump in rain chances on Saturday as some moisture begins returning from the Gulf of Mexico. Highs both Saturday and Sunday should be in the low 80s.
A second, considerably strong cold front pushes through later on Sunday, or Monday, and this will bring a decent chance of rain to the area. Forecast models suggest we could see 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain later Sunday and Monday with the front's passage, and in its wake.
The front will also usher in demonstrably cooler weather. High temperatures next week will probably be only in the 60s for a few days, before they recover to the 70s for the second half of the week. We may also see a sustained stretch of nighttime temperatures in the 50s for inland areas. This is fall, for real.

Buzzing around Austin tonight (first reported by the Texas Tribune here) is the rumor that Texas State Representative Leo Berman will announce he will file as a candidate for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a busy political news day as it is the same day of the SD-22 Special Election Runoff.
Michelle Samuelson over at Blue Dot Blues rounds up all you need to know about Leo Berman's potential candidacy for Speaker of the Texas House with the quote below.
Berman, if he files, is a stalking-horse for someone else, someone less lightning-rod. There is general agreement among the punditry and the consultancy that an actual race for speaker depends entirely on what happens in November.
If this indeed is the start of the 2011 Speakers Race expect the conservatives in the Texas House to take a page out of the playbook of the Anything But Craddick (ABCs) house members including the "Gang of 11" and Democrat Caucus Chair Jim Dunnam of Waco that overthrew then Speaker of the House Tom Craddick. The group of ABCSs started a slow burn that was timed perfectly to erupt into an inferno that burned down the House of Craddick.
They did this by having their members slowly announce that they were going to file to run against Craddick for the Speak of the House. This slow burn continued over the days, weeks and months as more and more house members announced their candidacy, their support to one of the announced candidates or their general displeasure with the current leadership. This strategy was very effective because it kept the Speakers race in the news cycle every week and with each new announcement the talking heads, newspapers and political insiders talked about Craddick's potential downfall and perpetuated the narrative that Craddick was vulnerable.
If this is the real kick off of the Speakers race look for another candidate to announce and or for Berman to show he has a strong base of support in the coming weeks or months.
Who would the eventual Speaker of the Texas House be if this is the first shot of a successful Speakers race? I would look to Reps. Warren Chisum, Phil King and Wayne Christian to be on the top of that list and a part of the new leadership team that controls the committees and thus the Texas House of Representatives like the Gang of 11 currently does.
Of course none of this matters if Republicans do not successfully defend all of their seats and pick up some new ones, like these great Central Texas Republican candidates for the Texas House, Larry Gonzales in Williamson County, Paul Workman in southwest Travis County, Pat McGuinness in northern Travis County and Jason Isaac in Hays County!

Nike new collections for Muslim women (Nike/Nike)
The Nike Pro Hijab collection will soon be available in Indonesia, sold online through fashion retailer Zalora as part of a collaboration with Nike.
On Feb. 15, the collection – available in black, gray and obsidian – will be made available on the e-commerce platform at Rp 379,000 (US$27.75).
Nike's newest feat is designed for Muslim women athletes and sports enthusiasts. The Nike Pro Hijab is said to be the answer for those who have performance problems while wearing the traditional hijab.
[RA::Nike, Converse to launch Chinese New Year collectionshttp://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2018/01/05/nike-converse-to-launch-chinese-new-year-collections.html]
The goal for Nike in producing this performance hijab was to make it inconspicuous, for it to become almost like a second skin. The garments were tested by elite Nike athletes, such as figure skater Zahra Lari and weightlifter Amna Al Haddad, and advocates and local communities were also consulted with. Following feedback, shape and size modifications were made. The sports hijab is available in the XS/S and M/L sizes.
"A lot of hijab-wearing women are unable to participate in sports competitions or feel that hijabs hinder their activities," said NXT senior designer Baron Brandt, who worked alongside Daniela Grogo, the Nike Pro Hijab apparel innovation technical design director. "We would like to make modern pieces from traditional cuts."
Read also: Hijab a personal choice
The Nike Pro Hijab is made from Nike Pro power mesh material, which is boasted as a breathable lightweight polyester that features tiny and strategically placed holes that make the product a far lighter alternative compared to the traditional design. The signature Nike Swoosh is placed above the left ear, and the hijab is available in black, vast gray and obsidian. A broader range of colors are under way. (wen/kes)

A middle-aged man was during the weekend, allegedly shot by men of the Nigeria police attached to the former Governor of Abia state, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu at Amafia Iheochiwa in Arochukwu Local Government Area of the State.
The victim's name was given as Ogbonnaya Eke, according to an eyewitness. The eyewitness also revealed that the victim was in a critical condition at the Federal Medical Centre in Umuahia.
According to the eyewitness, who gave his name as Abraham, an indigene of Iheochiwa clan, narrated "The APC campaign train stopped over at Amafia Ihechiowa to address the locals. As Orji Kalu was addressing the people and making campaign promises, the youths question what he did to the people of Ihechiowa as Abia Governor of Abia North Extraction for eight years.
"One of the youth said you promise to deliver the Ihechiowa rig road and failed. We can not trust a man who was Governor for eight years and did nothing. At that point, the youths started booing him.
"The police officers attached to the campaign train started shooting randomly. A middle-aged man was hit and was immediately rushed to FMC Umuahia. He is in critical condition".
Meanwhile, Media Adviser to the former Abia state Governor, Maduka Okoro, in a phone interview with DAILY POST on Monday said " We did not shoot anybody to dead as being reported by online media platforms.
"I want to tell you that due to the benevolence of Orji Kalu, he visited the young man at the Federal Medical Centre(FMC) on Saturday to see the man and how he (victim) is recuperating.
"So, none of the police officers attached to His excellency, Orji Kalu shot anybody dead. I know the opposition want to politicize it".
Contacted, the Public Relation Officer of the Abia State Police command, Jeofrey Ogbonna, in a phone interview with DAILY POST on Monday, said, "The incident has not been reported to the state command. None of our men shot anybody".

Lauren recalled, "As Jason and I transitioned to yet another new house, we had been crashing with a close friend and living out of boxes. My mom, being the caring mother that she is, managed to convince me that Jason and I both deserve a mini-vacation and that her and my dad had rented a condo on Isle of Palms for the two of us to stay at while we were in town for a family wedding. Initially, I protested because the last thing I wanted to do was pack for a vacation in the midst of living out of boxes, but I knew that Jason had been extra stressed at work and needed a break so I accepted my parent's generous offer."
"Our condo had its own private pier and we stopped there first to take in the view. Because I did not have my purse and it looked like rain, I asked Jason if I could put my cellphone in his pocket. Thinking nothing of it, I went to slide it into his pocket and he nearly slapped it out of my hand and into the ocean. I remember thinking that was really odd but just figured he was tired of always having to hold all of my stuff. I didn't blame him too much because I am always asking him to hold my things. I started getting anxious about the storm and wanted to get our stroll on the beach started so we could get back before the rain."
Rain can make for very romantic images, but Lauren had no idea what was about to happen and that Jason planned this incredible beach boat & fireworks proposal in Charleston for her! She said, "As we started walking, Jason pointed out that we were close to the spot where we had first said 'I love you' and we began reminiscing on our relationship and the past. Before I could get my next thought out, Jason drew my attention to a boat in the distance. Instantly, I was terrified because I was sure they would capsize in the waves the encroaching storm was producing. As the boat got closer it became more familiar to me and I remember asking Jason if the boat was the same as my brother's. I was confused because I knew my brother had been out on his boat that day, but I didn't know why on earth he would come over to Isle of Palms in the terrible weather. At this point, I was convinced that Jason and I would have to save whoever these crazy people were on that boat!"
"The boat finally got close enough for me to realize that this really was my brother's boat! And those crazy people; they were my mom, my dad, and my brother. About the time that I came to this realization, a banner unrolled on the boat that read, 'Lauren, Will You Marry me?' and instantly I was in shock. I turned around to look at Jason and he was down on one knee with a beautiful, engraved ring box. I was in tears; I could not believe what was happening! In fact, Jason likes to tell everyone that I actually backpedaled in shock at first, but I don't remember any of that. If you asked me exactly what Jason said in that moment, I honestly couldn't tell you but I do remember hearing him say that he loved me more than anything in world and that he wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, followed by the four most amazing words I have ever heard, 'Will you marry me?' I couldn't even muster up enough composure to actually say yes, but I think he knew my answer when I threw my arms around his neck, kissed him, and didn't let go! Jason slipped the most gorgeous ring onto my finger and as he did I heard the sound of fireworks. I turned back towards the ocean to catch the beautiful firework display coming from my brother's boat! But the surprises were not over just yet!"
As it turns out, our studio was not only in on the surprise for Jason's already incredible beach boat & fireworks proposal in Charleston, but we learned we were also to be a part of the surprise! Lauren continues on saying, "As I watched in astonishment, and still in complete shock, Jason whispered to me that my favorite photographer was on the pier and had caught this amazing moment for us to cherish forever! We even managed to sneak in a quick portrait session before the rain downpour began. And boy did it pour! Even with the rain, everything about the day was absolutely perfect and was everything I had ever dreamed for!"
What a compliment knowing Lauren so admires Valerie & Co. Photographers and we are very glad Jason thought to include us. For our studio, really what's most touching is the honor of having been a part of the sweet story of their engagement and documenting everything! If we had to describe Jason and Lauren's incredible beach boat & fireworks proposal in Charleston, it would be heartfelt, over-the-top, and, of course, very special ? Valerie & Co. Photographers would love to capture your special story for YOU too!

How to Eat When Traveling Abroad
Features & Advice Gabe Zaldivar April 05, 2017
It's important to not only savor a destination's delicious food but to also enjoy the cultural differences of the meal itself. The moment you leave the house for the airport is the second you should leave your normal daily habits behind.
To that end, here's a neat study of how various nations dine out, provided by Expedia.ca.
A total of 31 countries' eating habits is examined. And, trust us, this will go a long way to saving you some embarrassment when you show up to dinner a few hours too early like some out-of-touch travel newbie.
A far more immersive graphic is posted below, but let this video whet your appetite first.
Consider yourself appropriately advised cultured on the proper utensils and time to head out for dinner. Some of the things you will notice immediately include the Dutch eating dinner like exuberant retirees out for a great deal and the Russians enjoying their liquor immensely.
READ MORE: Tips For the Most Delicious Foodie Travel Ever
The following graphic also includes a handy (pun apologies) guide as to what utensils to use, if any.
When visiting Ethiopia, for example, you eat your food with the complement of injera, or the provided bread. And if you find yourself in places like Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia or Somalia, the hands will be the go-to utensils of choice.
Now, remember this is just a nice guide to start your culinary education. Along with learning a location's language, we always encourage at least a cursory study session on its customs. For example, you may not realize you have been eating sushi wrong all this time, or that there is a list of must-try dishes when you land in Thailand.
The point is: There is more to travel than packing the bags. Sometimes you have to prepare to switch up your eating habits and, perhaps, literally dig into your food with your hands.

No Billed
Float driver in Midland is no-billed by grand jurors
By Eva Ruth Moravec - Express-News
After deliberating about six hours Wednesday, a Midland grand jury declined the indictment of a parade float driver involved in a November train crash that killed four war veterans.
But the group, which was impaneled Wednesday morning in Judge Robin Darr's 385th District Court, still has questions in the crash involving a Union Pacific train and a parade float carrying troops injured in combat.
"The grand jury has not concluded its review of the incident," Midland County District Clerk Ross Bush said, "but has returned a no-bill in the matter of the driver of the truck, Dale Wayne Hayden."

The cow hitch is a knot (specifically, a hitch). The cow hitch comprises two half-hitches tied in opposing directions.
When both the standing parts of the rope are available, the cow hitch can be tied in the following manner:
- Form a bight and pass it through the ring from the underneath.
- Pull the head of the bight downwards, and reach through it, grabbing both standing parts of the rope.
- Pull both standing parts of the rope through the bight.
The cow hitch is often used to connect loop-ended lanyards to handheld electronic equipment, since it can be tied without access to the ends of the fastening loop.

Few people would bat an eye at this Oldsmobile Aurora that, by the time you're reading this, has been cubed and probably turned into a refrigerator. While the swoopy design was considered stylish by 1990s standards, Oldsmobile's last gasp at relevance looks forgettable today . However, unlike the Aurora's bigger Cadillac cousins, the Aurora—or to be exact, one part of the Aurora—carries some surprising historical significance.
Oldsmobile began selling the Aurora in 1995 and it got the best reviews for any Oldsmobile since the Quad 4-powered Achieva SCX and Olds Cutlass Calais 442 W41, both small-production cars designed to compete in the SCCA's Showroom Stock classes. And the Aurora deserved the acclaim because it was probably also the most contemporary car Olds had built in at least a decade. This one found its way to the junkyard after 159,000 miles.
For all the contemporary interior, the real centerpiece of the Aurora was its engine: an all-aluminum 4.0-liter, 32-valve V8 driving the front wheels. The engine shared a lot of architecture with Cadillac's Northstar V8 but had lower displacement and fewer horsepower, 250 to the Northstar's 290. The Aurora V8, however, seems to have a better reliability record than its bigger corporate relative, although a lot of the Northstar's poor design aspects—like a starter motor inside the engine's "valley" underneath the intake—are shared between the two. The final years of the Aurora also included the "Short Star" V6, which was basically a six-cylinder version of the earlier V8.
Whatever the problems of the street car, the Aurora's legacy comes from the engine's use outside of the Aurora's front-wheel-drive application. When Shelby re-emerged in the 1990s with their first bespoke road car, the Series 1, the Aurora's aluminum V8 was picked to power it. The engine was turned from its normal transverse mounting to a more traditional rear-wheel-drive setup.The Shelby engineers squeezed every last drop of horsepower from the engine. With new camshafts, a retuned ECU, higher-flow intake, and higher-flow exhaust, the Series 1 made 320 horsepower.
While 320 horsepower sounds relatively unimpressive in the modern times of 300-horsepower beigemobiles, that was a pretty trick setup two decades ago. The engine got a six-speed manual transmission that further improved power delivery. With a $108,000 price tag, however, they were relatively hard to move and only about 250 were sold. Maybe MotorTrend's 1998 claim of "The Most Significant Car Carroll Has Ever Produced" was a bit premature. That said, the pictured Series 1 sold at auction for $117,000 last year so the engine is still worth money somewhere.
Shelby, however, wasn't the only place the Aurora V8 found use. After the contentious 1996 Indy Racing League/CART split, General Motors put a highly tuned 650 horsepower version of the Aurora V8 in their 1997 IRL and Indianapolis 500 entries. Of the 35 starters the top 27 qualifiers all ran the Oldsmobile engine instead of the Nissan VH-based Infiniti V8 and Arie Luyendyk's Olds-powered G-Force chassis won the race from pole by not napping during the final-lap restart (above). The Oldsmobile V8 would continue as the engine of choice through 2001, powering Indy 500 victories for Eddie Cheever, Kenny Brack, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Helio Castroneves.
Oldsmobile also put the Aurora to work in a special testing application. In 1987, A.J. Foyt and Oldsmobile set a number of speed records with a high-strung turbocharged Quad 4 engine in the longtail Oldsmobile Aerotech. The Aerotech was a Foyt-prepared March open-wheel chassis with the streamlined body draped over it. General Motors pulled the Aerotech out of mothballs in 1992, redesigned a few elements, and stuck an early version of the Aurora V8 in it. Over eight days in December 1992, the Aurora-powered Aerotech smashed 47 speed records covering everything from 10 kilometers to 24 hours.
All of that engine's legacy, however, lived and died in the Aurora street car. Fittingly, Car and Driver brought an Aurora to the first LeMons race at Altamont in 2006, just two years after Oldsmobile ceased to exist. In LeMons' early first races, the Aurora was considered "too clean" for duty in the series, though the itself was, in retrospect, abjectly terrible for road racing. I don't think anyone would bat an eye at an Aurora in LeMons these days.
The final Auroras built had 2003 model years, although the last Aurora engines went into the Shelby Series 1 in 2005. The engine's legacy remains tied to racing and as the street cars disappear from the streets rapidly, you just might notice the few still on the road. When you do, think of the awesome potential that lurks under the hood for your bench-racing project. At least until you have to change the starter motor.

3 Tips To Stay Mentally Strong In A World Of Terrorism
How to Find the Nearest Public Shelter in Singapore in a National Emergency
• If you are not in the affected area, stay away from the explosion site and do not call 995 or 999 unless you encounter an absolute emergency. Instead, tune in to the radio or television for updates
• After an explosion, beware of post-blast hazards when you are trying to evacuate such as:
– Damaged structures, walls, beams, columns, and overhanging slabs
– Craters in the ground
– Sharp debris and broken glass
– Smoke, fires and toxic fumes
– Water and gas leakages due to damaged utility pipes and exposed live electrical cables
– Potential secondary bomb devices
• Ensure your own safety before helping others
• If you are a trained first-aider, treat casualties until emergency responders arrive if it is safe to do so
• If you are not trained in first aid, move away from the hazard area. Note the locations of severely injured casualties, and inform rescuers to attend to them
What to do if you are hurt in an explosion
1. Do not use your mobile phone to call for help as it may trigger secondary explosions
2. If you are able to evacuate, move away from the affected area
3. Do not move unnecessarily as you may worsen your injuries
How to evacuate from an explosion site
• Stay calm and do not panic
• Leave the area and disperse as quickly as possible in case of secondary attacks
• Take only what is necessary and evacuate in an orderly manner
• Do not run. Walk briskly and help the disabled, children, and the elderly along the way if you are able to
• Do not use the elevators as they may breakdown. Use the stairs but do not leave the doors open as that will allow more smoke to enter the stairway
• Keep roads and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and rescuers
• Do not use mobile phones, radios or any electronic equipment at a bomb site as they may trigger secondary explosions
• Do not enter a building that has been damaged by the explosion
• Let your loved ones know that you are safe as soon as you are far away from the site
• Do not spread rumours about the situation

As the new chair of the School of Music, I am heartened and humbled by the breadth, diversity, and generosity of our alumni and donors, students, faculty, and staff. Many here already know me as the trombone professor and director of graduate studies, where I have been happily focused for the last fifteen years on teaching and creative work with our talented UI students.
I feel especially fortunate to be taking over as chair with such exciting times ahead of us. The School of Music and The University of Iowa continue to move forward with plans for a new music building in downtown Iowa City at the intersection of Clinton and Burlington Streets. We have selected Neumann Monson as our local architect for the project, and just days ago announced the selection of LMN Architects of Seattle to design the new home for the School.
Until we have that new building, The University of Iowa has provided excellent interim facilities so that we can continue with our teaching, service, and performance. If you haven't seen them, please stop by for a visit or come to a student or faculty recital. Our schedule is online at performingarts.uiowa.edu. You will be impressed by the commitment that the University has made to our students and faculty with state-of-the art practice rooms and studios, temporary recital spaces, classrooms and offices. They're nothing short of amazing, and will serve our students and faculty well until our new School of Music is completed.
As plans continue to unfold for our new building, I hope you will continue to read our blog. The possibilities are inspiring and I am eager to continue sharing news with you as our plans unfold.

Mr. DUNN. I introduced a bill asking $20,000,000,000 to take us
i. of this rut, and I believe that we will have to pass some such legisation.
The CHAIRMAN. If there is nothing further, we will hear the next witness.
Mr. RICE. There are a number of gentlemen present who are anxious to get away. I would be glad if you would hear Mr. Gill at this time.
Mr. GILL. This proposed census, Mr. Chairman, is of great interest to us. We have been engaged for 9 months in distributing relief to needy unemployed persons throughout the country. Administratively, it is very difficult to know whether you are giving relief to unemployed people because they happen to be unemployed at the moment, or to that group of so-called unemployable people who are not able to work. The work that we are doing is such that we must have as clear a picture as we can obtain of unemployment conditions, where the bad locations are, so far as unemployment is concerned, and all the other related data that it is possible to obtain. Reliable information concerning the number of persons unemployed is practically nonexistent at the present time. In October 1933 we took a census of our relief cases. We asked for the case records of all the 13 million people that were on the unemployment relief rolls in this country. We tried to find out something about their employability, whether they had had jobs within the last 12 months, and other data relative to employment, but we were not able to obtain such information.
For the limited data we were able to obtain, however, the census was very successful. We obtained about 95 percent complete returns, and we now know the age of everyone who was receiving relief last October, and we know the sex and color or race of each person and the size of families receiving relief. It has been and will continue to be of great use to us. This proposed census of unemployment would probably be of even greater use. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration is very definitely in favor of such a census as this, particularly if the questions asked are so worded that they will make the information comparable to our information, so we can use it administratively. I have particular reference, for example, to the unit of relief. We give relief to families, and, generally speaking, not to individuals. Therefore, the whole of our information is on the basis of families. We have at the present time, for example, about 4,500,000 families, plus some 400,000 single individuals receiving relief. Now, if this proposed census is on the basis of individuals, it will be helpful. If it is on the family basis, then anything that will give the family composition will be even more helpful. One of the greatest uses that this census would be to us would be the population side of it, as I see it. We have information concerning relief cases by counties, and the question immediately arises as to what percentage of the population in a given county is on relief.
We are now using the 1930 census as a basis, but reluctantly, because we know that substantial shifts in population between areas
have occurred since 1930. We use the 1930 figures because we must have some basis for comparison. In a given county, for example, we may know that there are 1,000 families receiving relief, but that does not tell the whole story, because we do not know for certain how many people there now are in the county. We need to know how many people there are in the county to see the relative size of the problem. We make such comparisons State by State. Those State by State comparisons, as to the percentage of families, on relief, are not as bad, or are not as conclusive, as when you get it down into the counties, because of the size of the areas covered. This information has been of great interest. It is of most interest, of course, to persons engaged in this particular work. It is of more interest probably than any other figures we have, except, perhaps, those concerning the size of the relief load. . In Alabama, for instance, 18 percent of the population were receiving relief; in Arizona, 7 percent; in Arkansas, 12 percent; in California, 9 percent; in Ohio, 12 percent. Mr. ELLENBoGEN. What is the figure for Pennsylvania? Mr. GILL. For Pennsylvania, 14 percent. Those figures are for November. We have later figures, of course. Mr. KINZER. You are not distributing relief to all of those people? Mr. GILL. Yes. Mr. FLETCHER. Are those percentages of the entire population, or do they relate to families? Mr. GILL. We give relief to families. These are families. Mr. DUNN. You say you are giving relief to 4,500,000 families? Mr. GILL. Yes, sir; that many families are receiving relief. Mr. DUNN. How many do you figure to a family? Mr. GILL. Four people. Mr. FIESINGER. Then, you figure that there are about 16,000,000 people out of work. Mr. GILL. Not necessarily. Mr. FIESINGER. What would you estimate was the number of unemployed in the United States right now? Mr. GILL. The only figure I would use would be the estimate of the American Federation of Labor, which, I think, is probably the best. Mr. FIESINGER. Their estimate is 11,000,000. Mr. GILL. I understand that is their estimate. Mr. DUNN. You are affording relief to about 400,000 individuals. Mr. GILL. Yes, sir; to 400,000 single persons in addition to members of families. Mr. FLETCHER. Would not the proposed child-labor laws increase the number of families requiring relief, or the families having children under 18 years of age? Mr. GILL. It might, conceivably. In October 1933, when we took a census of relief, we found we had 5% million children under 18 years of age receiving relief. y estimate of 4% million families now receiving relief is as of the close of the C.W.A. program. The C.W.A. program had cut our relief program very heavily during the winter. Mr. FLETCHER. There is no record of the number of families needing relief in 1928 or 1929, as compared with the number at the present time?
Mr. GILL. No, not for the entire country, although for 1929 there are figures for certain cities, and it is possible to show the size of the problem now as compared with 1929 in urban areas, with certain qualifications; but it is none too good a comparison. Mr. DUNN. How many millions of dollars was expended to give 4% million families that relief? Mr. GILL. In April we estimate expenditures will be about $120,000,000 or $125,000,000. That is not Federal money entirely, because State and local money comes in there to the extent of probably $30,00,000. Mr. DUNN. That is for the year? Mr. GILL. No, that is for 1 month. , Mr. ELLENBogEN. You said the figures for Pennsylvania showed 14 percent of unemployment, I believe. Mr. GILL. No, I did not say unemployment. Mr. ELLENBogEN. Or families on relief. Mr. GILL. Yes. Mr. ELLENBogEN. Do you have any figures showing the number of unemployed in relation to the number of people of employable ages? That would be a much more useful figure. Mr. GILL. We have information as of last October, showing the number of persons by sex and by age, but that does not necessarily mean that every one of those persons was unemployed. To some extent, I think, this possibly emphasizes Mr. Ellenbogen's interest in the phraseology of the questions. A good many people to whom we are giving relief are technically employed. We are giving supplemental relief in many cases. For example, a man who has 10 children has a job which possibly gives him $5 a week, and we will assume that in that locality $5 a week is not enough to pay rent, light, heat, fuel, and food for that : family, so we would supplement that with a small amount of relief. Mr. ELLENBogEN. Have you seen the questions Dr. Truesdell has in mind? Mr. GILL. No, I have not. Mr. FLETCHER. What do you say the cost of this census would be? Mr. GILL. I have not the figure on the census. I believe the bill provides for that. Mr. FIESINGER. It is $7,540,000, is it not? Mr. AUSTIN. Yes. Mr. FLETCHER. Without this legislation, authorizing the expenditure for the taking of this census, you would continue guessing at it and would waste more money than the cost of the census, would you not? Mr. GILL. No, I would not say that. You mean in giving relief to the unemployed? Mr. FLETCHER. Yes. Without the information which the census will supply, if taken, you would be handicapped to the extent of perhaps wasting, through guessing, more money than the cost of the census will amount to; is that not so? Mr. GILL. Not necessarily. Mr. FLETCHER. Then why have this census? Mr. GILL. I think it would be of material aid. In order to get relief, a person has to go into a relief office and give his life history,
and after that a case worker goes to that family's home and investigates the case. So it is not a question of wasting money, but it would be of great help materially, particularly on the administrative side. We would know, for instance, in Pennsylvania, if we had the unemployment figures—and this would also apply to all the other States— whether 14 percent of the families in Pennsylvania was too high or too low a proportion of the number of families to be receiving relief. Mr. KINZER. How would that aid you in the distribution of relief? Mr. GILL. That gives us a clue. Mr. KINZER. You are giving relief to those who need it? Mr. GILL. Yes. Mr. KINZER. Through local agencies? Mr. GILL. We grant funds to the States which in turn make grants to local agencies. Mr. KINZER. You do not mean to tell the committee, do you, that the distribution you would make through your relief department would be dependent upon the figures and the data given you under a census to be taken? Mr. GILL. No; but it would be of material aid in administering relief. That is, we would know if a given State had a very high unemployment problem, and we would be able to find from our figures whether they were giving very little relief as compared with an adjacent State. We would know whether that State was not giving enough relief, or an adjacent State was giving too much relief. Mr. KINZER. Would the Federal Relief Administration be governed or controlled in its distribution of relief by any amount that the State or local communities would fall down on? They would not, would they? Mr. GILL. No. The only statement that I wanted to make was that this would be of help to us. Mr. KINZER. Just as a matter of information? Mr. GILL. That is right, but very important information. Mr. KINZER. It would be important if the conditions remained after the census as they were at the time of the taking of the census, if there is no resumption of industry. Mr. GILL. As I understand it, the information would be available in less than 2 months, and the condition would not change that rapidly. Mr. KINZER. And you would continue your relief work through your local agencies? Mr. GILL. Yes. Mr. KINZER. But of course, the age of the child would not prevent you, or actuate you to delay extending relief to those who needed it? Mr. GILL. No; but the problem is Mr. KINZER (interposing). A flexible one? Mr. GILL. Wery. Mr. ELLENBogEN. It would help you to have the amount of the appropriation so you could use it? Mr. GILL. 1 should think it would be a very definite help. Mr. ELLENBogEN. Mr. Austin told us that 6% million dollars of the 7% million dollars would be used for field work, to give employment. If you do not spend 6% million dollars for giving employment in taking the census you would spend it in R.W.D. work, and so you would not be spending any money that you would not spend for relief.
Mr. GILL. That is a pretty broad assumption. It assumes that every employee would be from the relief roll. r. ELLENBogEN. I believe if the C.W.A. looked at it from that point of view that statement would be correct. Under the C.W.A. you did not have to be on relief rolls to get a job. Mr. KINZER. Do I understand the Congressman to mean that this census would result in the saving of the administration of relief? Mr. ELLENBogEN. No; I mean that Mr. Hopkins' department gives two sorts of relief, one direct relief and the other work relief, and by the taking of this census 6% million dollars would be spent in giving work relief to over 100,000 people, covering every community in the United States, including enumerators and field supervisors. Mr. KINZER. Will that make this emergency permanent? Mr. ELLENBogEN. No; but if they would not spend it for taking the census they would spend it for raking up leaves or shoveling Snow. Is not that correct? I mean, you would not spend it in giving relief jobs. Mr. FLETCHER. There has been a great deal of criticism of the efficiency of these enumerators that have been taking the business census referred to by the Director of the Census. How would the selection of the personnel for this work be determined? Would they be civil-service employees, or will they be only persons recommended by local political organizations? I should think we should have very efficient people to do this job. I would like to have information as to how these people will be selected, and the type of people, with the qualifications. Mr. GILL. I think that question should be asked of somebody from the Census Bureau. Mr. ELLENBogEN. The enumerators were never civil-service employees. Mr. GILL. I have brought along with me this map [indicating map). I do not know whether you can see it, but it shows, county by county, the percentage of families receiving relief. When that percentage is over 15 percent it is shaded, and when it is over 50 percent it is solid black. This is as of December last. It is about the only way we can indicate, for our own administrative use, the bad spots in the country. If we had more current information on population, we could use these figures with a good deal more assurance. Mr. KINZER. From your experience and information, has there been an increase or a decrease in the need for relief in those centers? Mr. GILL. In these particular centers? Mr. KINZER. Yes; or generally. Mr. GILL. It shifts. Those that are heavily shaded on this map are, roughly speaking, the same month after month. r. KINZER. This map is as of 5 months ago? Mr. GILL. As of December last; that is right. Mr. KINZER. How does that compare with the present situation? Mr. GILL. It is worse now than it was before. The data from which this map was made were taken during the C.W.A. program, when relief was light. In April of this year the relief load was as heavy as it has been in any month in the history of the country. April of this year corresponds, roughly, with March of last year. We have a very heavy seasonal movement in relief, reaching a peak in
