Normally hydrophobic fluoropolymer porous membranes having continuous pores are rendered hydrophilic by coating the pore interior with a mixture of at least one fluoroaliphatic surfactant and at least one hydrophilic but substantially water-insoluble polyurethane.
This invention relates to water-permeable coated products and more specifically to coated porous membranes.
It is well known that fluoropolymers have excellent chemical and heat resistance and in general are hydrophobic. It is also known that expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) polymers have superior strength properties. Thus, expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene is useful as a filter media for organic solvents and for use in harsh chemical environments.
However, because of the hydrophobicity of fluoropolymers, aqueous dispersions cannot readily be filtered through filters made from these fluoropolymers. Such filters can be prewetted with organic solvents followed by flushing with water or using pressure to overcome the lack of affinity between the hydrophobic filter and the polar aqueous dispersion. However, such prewetting is expensive over the long term and can lead to "gas-lock" or "dewetting."
For these reasons, there have been various attempts to make fluoropolymer surfaces more hydrophilic and receptive to wetting with water while still maintaining their desirable properties. One approach is to coat the surface and the interior of the pores with a fluorinated surfactant to improve hydrophilicity. Since the fluorosurfactant is bound to the surface of the membrane only by means of chemical affinity, the weakness of this approach is that over a period of time the fluorosurfactant will be washed out by the aqueous medium and the membrane will lose its water-wettability. In an attempt to solve this problem, another approach has been to use a fluorosurfactant which is then crosslinked by an irradiation treatment using a high energy radiation beam such as Gamma ray, electron beam or non-equilibrium plasma. Such a crosslinked material will not diffuse out of the fluoropolymer matrix even when it is exposed to aqueous flow for an extended period of time. However, the high energy radiation weakens the mechanical strength of the fluoropolymer and the fluorinated surfactant will also suffer adverse effects ranging from deterioration of properties to alteration of its chemical properties.
To overcome the deficiencies described above, in this invention, normally hydrophobic fluoropolymeric porous membranes having continuous pores, i.e., passageways, are rendered hydrophilic, i.e., water-permeable, by coating the membrane with a mixture of at least one fluoroaliphatic surfactant and at least one substantially liquid water-insoluble hydrophilic polyurethane. By continuous pores or passageways is meant that the membrane has interstices that comprise continuous passageways extending through the thickness of the membrane so that the passageways open on both sides. The coating coats the surface and at least a portion of the interior of the passageways but does not block the passageways, and thus does not prevent flow of water through the membrane.
The surfactant renders the fluoropolymeric porous membrane hydrophilic, but ordinarily it is not durable and washes out as the membrane is used in aqueous filtration. Surprisingly, it has now been discovered that the presence of the hydrophilic polyurethane protects the surfactant and inhibits its wash out. The polyurethane apparently binds the surfactant to the fluoropolymer membrane and makes the inventive compositions durable with respect to the resulting hydrophilic properties.
While the preferred hydrophobic fluoropolymer porous membrane used as a starting material herein is porous polytetrafluoroethylene, any porous fluoropolymer membrane can be employed. In addition to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), other satisfactory fluoropolymers include polyvinylfluoride, polyvinylidenefluoride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyfluoroethylenepropylene, perfluoroalkoxyethylene/tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) copolymers, chlorotrifluoroethylene/ethylene copolymers, and TFE/ethylene copolymers. Preferably, the membrane will be from about 1 to about 200 micrometers thick. Preferably also the membrane will be porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene which has an internal interconnecting porous structure made of nodes interconnected with fibrils as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,566. Preferably also the void content will be 50-95% by volume.
The fluoroaliphatic surfactant has a long chain fluoroalkyl group, i.e., a CH3 (CF2)m group where m is an integer of 3-8, as one moiety and should impart a low surface tension to water, e.g., less than 30 dynes per cm. It can be non-ionic or anionic, and preferably can be a fluorinated alcohol, ester, organic acid or organic salt. Surfactants with fluorinated alkyl end groups are preferred because they appear to have an affinity for the --CF2 moieties in the fluoropolymer membrane and are less susceptible to washing out than non-fluorinated surfactants. Suitable surfactants include Zonyl fluorosurfactants made by the DuPont Co., such as, Zonyl FSA fluorosurfactants represented by the formula Rf CH2 CH2 SCH2 CH2 COOLi; where Rf is F(CF2 --CF2)3-8; Zonyl FSN fluorosurfactants represented by the formula Rf-CH2 CH20 (CH2 CH2 O)x H where Rf is F(CF2 CF2)3-8 and x is a cardinal number of 7-12; Fluorad FC-171 made by 3M Co. which is believed to be a nonionic fluorinated alkyloxylate, probably represented by the formula ##STR1## where Rf is CnF2n+1, and x is numeral greater than 1 and n is about 8; and Fluorad FC-430 made by 3M Co. which is a nonionic fluoroaliphatic polymeric ester.
The polyurethane is hydrophilic, i.e. transports water molecules through it by diffusion, but is otherwise substantially water-insoluble, i.e. does not dissolve in water. A preferred class of polyurethanes are hydrophilic polyurethanes having hard and soft segments. Hydrophilicity is afforded by a soft segment consisting of a polyol containing oxyethylene units, i.e. (--O--CH2 CH2 --). The hard segment of these polymers is the reaction product of polyisocyanate and chain extender (if used).
(iii) a low molecular weight bifunctional chain extender having a molecular weight in a range lower than about 500.
By way of example, the chain extender can be 1,4-butane diol, 1,6-hexane diol, hydroquinone di(-hydroxyethyl)ether, bis(hydroxyethyl)bisphenol A, bis(2-hydroxypropyl)bisphenol A, bis(2-hydroxypropyl)isophthalate, bis(2-hydroxethyl)carbamate, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenylthio)ethane, trimethylene glycol di-paminobenzoate, resorcinol di(-hydroxyethyl)ether, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol, 4,4'-dihydroxy diphenyl sulfone, 4,4'-methylene bis(ochloroaniline), phenylene diamine, methylene bis(aniline), ethanolamine, N,N'-(bis-2-hydroxethyl)dimethylhydantoin, ethylene diamine, butane diamine, and the like. The low molecular weight bifunctional chain extenders may be used singly or in admixture with each other.
diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, 4-bis(isocyanomethyl)cyclohexane, p-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate, m-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate or the like. The organic diisocyanates may be employed singularly or in combination. Preferably the polyol will be poly(oxyethylene) glycol or a mixture of it with other poly(oxyalkylene) glycols.
One preferred polyurethane is the reaction product of a poly(oxyalkylene)glycol of molecular weight between about 1,000-2,000 and containing in excess of 70% oxyethylene units, 4,4' dicyclohexylmethane disocyanate, and a glycol having a molecular weight less than 500.
The membrane may be laminated to a strengthening backing, such as a porous nonwoven polypropylene or polyester backing, if desired.
The membrane or laminate is coated preferably by immersing it in a solution of the polyurethane and surfactant for a desired time, depending on the weight percent add-on desired. The solution penetrates into the pores and coats the pore interior, e.g., the nodes and fibrils of expanded, porous polytetrafluoroethylene, as well as the surface, but does not fully block the pores.
Alternate coating procedures can be used, e.g., pressure driven coating methods.
A Millipore filtering device was used consisting of two parts: Part #XXII04702 Part (1): A holder base and support screen; Part #XXII04704 Part (2): Clear plastic funnel, 250 ml volume. Part 2 is fitted onto Part (1).
The device was used to determine flow-through times of water through samples of coated membrane or laminate. The bottom of the Millipore filtering device was unscrewed, the sample placed on it and then the filter was fixed in place by screwing back the bottom portion of the unit. The Millipore filtering device was mounted on a 100 ml graduated cylinder.
The test was performed by pouring 100 ml of distilled water onto the fixed sample (17.34 cm2 area/disc) and simultaneously starting a stop-watch. The time for the first drop of water to filter through the unit as well as the time for 50 ml of H2 O to filter through was recorded. From this data, the vertical flowthrough rate in ml/minute was calculated for each sample. The Millipore filtering device was dried between each run. All tests were done at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.
Bubble point of porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is measured following ASTM F 316-86 using isopropyl alcohol. Bubble point is the pressure of air required to blow the first continuous bubbles detectable by their rise through a layer of isopropyl alcohol covering the PTFE, and provides an estimate of maximum pore size.
In the examples, the polyurethane used was the reaction product of poly(oxyethylene) glycol, 4,4' dicyclohexylmethane diisocyante and diethylene glycol. The polyurethane had a relative molecular weight of about 20,000 (Mn) as determined by Size Exclusion Chromatography using polyethylene glycol standards for calibration.
A nonionic fluoroaliphatic polymeric ester surfactant (Fluorad FC-430 made by 3M Company) and polyurethane were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran in amounts resulting in 0.5% by weight FC-430 and 1% polyurethane in the solution.
Three porous, hydrophobic, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were used. The first was a microporous, hydrophobic, expanded PTFE membrane (membrane 1) having an average bubble point of about 8.7; the second was the same membrane but laminated to a nonwoven polyester backing (laminate 1); the third was a microporous, hydrophobic, expanded PTFE membrane of an average bubble point of 2.4 laminated to a nonwoven polyester backing (laminate 2).
The three materials were each immersed in the solution of polyurethane and surfactant. Samples were immersed for 1 minute and other samples for 5 minutes. Then the treated samples were fixed on a hoop so that on drying they would not shrink or wrinkle. They were then air dried at room temperature overnight. The dried material was then weighed to determine weight percent add-on of the polyurethane and surfactant solids.
A solution was prepared by adding polyurethane and Zonyl FSN fluorosurfactant to tetrahydrofuran. The polyurethane was added in an amount to make a 1% by weight solution and the Zonyl FSN fluorosurfactant was added in an amount to make a 0.5% by weight solution.
A microporous, hydrophobic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane of an average bubble point of 0.83 laminated to a polypropylene backing was immersed in the solution. Three different samples of the same membrane were used. One was immersed for 5 minutes, one for 15 minutes and one for 30 minutes at ambient conditions. After removal from the solution, the samples were dried by affixing them on hoops and placing the hoops in a vacuum oven at 60° C. and 30 inches (76 cm) mercury for 15 minutes.
By the same procedure, Zonyl FSA fluorosurfactant and Fluorad FC-171 fluorosurfactant were each used in place of the zonyl FSN fluorosurfactant.
Weight add-on of solids is shown in Table 2 below. The table also shows water wettability of the treated samples.

Using the Fluorad FC-430 fluorosurfactant and polyurethan, a solution in tetrahydrofuran was prepared, and an average bubble point of 0.83 expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane laminated to a nonwoven polypropylene was immersed in the solution for 24 hours. After air drying at room temperature overnight, the samples were tested for durability.
Durability results are shown in Table III. Samples were tested as dried, after being boiled in water for 1 hour, after being heated in 1N HCl at 80° C. for 1 hour and after being immersed in 1N NaOH (filtration) and 5N NaOH for 1 hour.
The THF alone, it is seen the THF has no effect on the membrane regarding water flow through. With FC-430 or polyurethane alone in THF, it is seen that the samples are less durable after treatment in boiling water, HCl and NaOH. It is also seen that durability is generally improved over any of the samples where both FC-430 and polyurethane are present. It is also seen that after acid treatment water flow through is improved.

Used to constant movement and reinvention, Bauer was living in chronic pain when he became a patient of rehabilitative neurosurgeon Dr. Scott Falci. When Falci recognized the signs of depression in his patient and after learning about Bauer's earlier life, which included driving race cars, the doctor conceived of a race car with adaptive controls. Driven: From Wheelchair To Race Car, shares the collaboration of Mike Bauer and Dr. Falci as they develop new technologies to put paraplegic and quadriplegic folks back on the track. Directed by Brian Malone (PATRIOCRACY, CELEBRITY TRIALS IN THE MEDIA), the documentary will be released by Cinema Libre Studio on DVD starting June 24th with on demand options to follow in July.
Falci Adaptive Motorsports, founded by Dr. Scott Falci, is one of the world's premiere organizations dedicated to putting wheelchair-bound race enthusiasts into a racing experience. The ultimate mission of Falci Adaptive Motorsports is to add "motorsports" to the ever-growing list of athletic and recreational pursuits enjoyed by the spinal-cord-injured population while advancing the development of adaptive technologies. The car built for Mike Bauer is a 2001 Corvette C5 Stingray with the design team RaceKraft and Design and is equipped with hand controls for acceleration, an infrared shifter, and a hand brake.
Says by Brian Malone, Emmy winning director of PATRIOCRACY and CELEBRITY TRIALS IN THE MEDIA, DRIVEN takes a look at a family whose life was shattered in one tragic moment as they push to give Mike Bauer's life a new purpose.
SYNOPSIS: Mike Bauer was born to be fast until a tragic motorcycle accident left him paralyzed and on the verge of suicide. When he meets Dr. Scott Falci, a rehabilitative neurosurgeon and an amateur racer, they venture into the uncharted territory of designing a race car for the paraplegic driver. Will climbing behind the wheel of this new race car be enough to bring Mike back from the brink?

Yehuda Leib Kuperstein (în ; ) a fost publicist, pedagog, scriitor, redactor și traducător israelian, originar din Basarabia.

Anii de tinerețe în Basarabia
Leib Kuperstein s-a născut în colonia agricolă Mărculești din Basarabia, pe atunci parte a Imperiului Rus.
El era fiul unic al lui Sara si Shimshon Kuperstein, aparținând unei familii evreiești numeroase din care proveneau jumătate din locuitorii așezării. Tatăl era unul din urmașii rabinului Shimshon din Ostropoli care împreună cu obștea lui căzuseră victime actelor sângeroase din timpul Răscoalei lui Hmelnițki.Shimshon Kuperstein era un comerciant luminat, dintre primii membri ai mișcării presioniste "Hovevei Tzion" și apoi, ai mișcării național-religioase evreiești Mizrahi. Pentru a-i conferi fiului sau o educatie tradițională îmbinată cu cultura generală, împreună cu prietenul sau, rabinul Yehuda Leib Fischman Maimon, care după mulți ani avea să ajungă ministru al cultelor în primul guvern al Israelului, a înființat un așa numit "heder metukan", o școală primară religioasă reformistă, în care s-a predat si limba si literatura ebraică.
Mai apoi, Leib Kuperstein a învățat la școala rusă de sub conducerea scriitorului Shlomo Hillels și la gimnaziul ebraic. În acei ani el a devenit activ în mișcarea Makabi, și apoi a înființat și condus un cerc local al mișcarii sioniste socialiste Hashomer Hatzair.

În Belgia și Franța
La 19 ani Kuperstein a plecat să învețe științele naturii și agronomia în Belgia și Franța. Dupa aceea a învățat și literele, filozofia și științele sociale la Sorbona, devenind în acel timp un bun cunoscator al limbii și culturii franceze. În timpul șederii în vestul Europei, Kuperstein a fost activ in cercurile sioniste, a contribuit la popularizarea limbii și culturii ebraice și a luat parte la Basel la al 15-lea Congres sionist

Activitatea pedagogică, politică și publicistică în România
Întors în Basarabia, care se reunise între timp cu România, Kuperstein a lucrat ca profesor de științe naturale și de literatură la gimnaziul în care a învățat.  Apoi a condus mai multe instituții de învățământ, între care, în 1933 școala ebraică Tarbut (Cultura) din Bălți. a redactat programe de învățământ pentru școlile ebraice, manuale și antologii școlare, a făcut propagandă în favoarea sionismului, în ciuda
împotrivirii cercurilor comuniste care erau active în zonă.
S-a luptat totodată și împotriva tendinței autorităților române de a limita orele de învățamânt consacrate ebraicei, și a organizat cercuri permanente de literatură ebraică în afara orelor de școală. A luat parte la activitățile mișcării Poalei Tzion-Tzeirei Tzion, și ea de orientare sionist-socialistă , a asistat organizațiile de tineret sionist, inclusiv fermele agricole destinate pregătirii pentru emigrarea în Palestina, încercând să le apere de șicanele guvernanților.

Kuperstein a editat la Bălți în anii 1935-1938 cea dintâi revistă literară ebraică din zonă, "Shurot" (Rânduri), cu apariție lunară, apropape în întregime redactată, tipărită (manual), gestionata și difuzată de el. Vreme de trei ani a editat 32 de numere, în care a publicat contribuții ale unor scriitori și ziariști ebraici din Palestina și din lume.
Când în primăvara anului 1938 guvernul antisemit Goga-
Cuza a ordonat închiderea revistei și a interzis publicațiile în ebraică și în limba idiș pe teritoriul României, Kuperstein a plecat în Palestina pentru a obține sprijin. Cu ajutorul rabinului Maimon, a lui Avraham Levinson și Itzhak Grynboim a reușit să editeze la întoarcere încă două culegeri de texte în ebraică intitulate "Udim" (Tăciuni).

Înainte de izbucnirea celui de al doilea război mondial și de pătrunderea armatei sovietice în Basarabia , Kuperstein s-a refugiat la București. Acolo a continuat pentru scurt timp activitatea sionistă și în anul 1940 a emigrat în Palestina, împreună cu familia.

Activitatea în Israel
În Palestina, respectiv din anul 1948 în noul stat Israel Leib Kuperstein a început să publice articole în ziarele Davar, Omer, Al Hamishmar și Maariv și în revistele Gazit și Moznaim. Prima sa rubrică, intitulată "Mekarov" (De aproape)- Din jurnalul unui nou emigrant", a apărut în decembrie 1940 în ziarul Omer.
A publicat ulterior în editura "Am oved" cărțile Meghilat Struma (Cartea Strumei) și Goral yehudey Romania (Soarta evreilor din România). Mai apoi a publicat traduceri în ebraică din cărțile pentru copii ale scriitorului rus Kornei Ciukovski  שמש גנובה (Soarele furat)  și  "זבובה זהובה (Muha Țokotuha - Musca năzdrăvană), ilustrate de Lea Grundig. A lucrat în paralel la secția de propagandă și relații externe a Histadrutului, Confederația generală a muncitorilor, la Tel Aviv, unde se stabilise. a deținut și funcția de director al Școlii superioare  pentru muncitori.
A editat mensualul pedagogic "Lahorim"(Pentru părinți), antologia din lucrările pedagogice ale lui Anton Makarenko "Sefer hinuh beveit hahorim" ("Carte pentru părinți) și publicația "Tel Aviv shelanu" ("Tel Avivul nostru"), una din primele ziare locale din Israel A fost și unul din membrii fondatori ai Asociației israeliene a jurnaliștilor de periodice și reviste.

Ca președinte al consiliului israelian al organizației "Brit Ivrit Olamit" (Uniunea mondială pentru limba ebraică) a redactat vreme de zece ani revista "Am Hasefer" (Poporul cărții), continuând să contribuie la difuzarea limbii și culturii ebraice. A scris monografii literare și alte lucrări, din care unele urmează să fie publicate postum. În anul 1977 a publicat lucrarea "Yad Mărculești, moshava yehudit beBessarabia" (În amintirea Mărculeștilor, colonie agricolă evreiască în Basarabia).
Paralel cu activitatea publicistică - scrierea a peste 1000 de articole, inclusiv de critică literară, de pedagogie etc. Kuperstein a continuat să se intereseze și de cultura franceză, a citit la Radio Israel din operele lui Albert Cohen, a tradus cărți de Piotr Rawicz ("Sângele cerului" - "Le Sang du ciel")  și Oublier Palerme ("Să uiți Palermo") de Edmonde Charles-Roux.

Premii și distincții
 1991 Membru de onoare a Histadrutului
 1992 Membru de onoare al Asociației jurnaliștilor de periodice și reviste din Israel

Leib Kuperstein a murit în anul 1992 la 88 ani.
A fost căsătorit cu Esther, născuta Algurt, și fiica lor este ziarista israeliană Edna Peer.

3 Open Source Alternatives to MATLAB
By Jason Baker | November 3, 2017
For many students in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, economics, and other fields with a heavy numeric component, MATLAB is their first introduction to programming or scientific computing in general. It can be a good tool for learning, although (in my experience) many of the things that students and researchers use MATLAB for are not particularly demanding calculations; rather they could easily be conducted with any number of basic scripting tools, with or without statistical or math-oriented packages. However, it does have a near ubiquity in many academic settings, bringing with it a large community of users familiar with the language, plugins, and capabilities in general...

Over the past few years, interest in both civilian and commercial use of drones has continued to grow rapidly, and drone hardware sits at the top of many people's holiday wish lists. Even just within the civilian side of things, the list of unmanned aerial devices that fit the moniker of drone seems to be constantly expanding. These days, the term seems to encompass everything from what is essentially a cheap, multi-bladed toy helicopter, all the way up to custom-built soaring machines with incredibly adept artificial intelligence capabilities...
5 open source dashboard tools for visualizing data
By Jason Baker | November 23, 2016
To start with a confession, I like dashboards. A lot. I've always been fascinated by finding new and interesting ways to bring meaning to data with interactive visualization tools. While I'm definitely a geek for numbers, the human mind is simply much better at interpreting trends visually than it is just picking them out a spreadsheet. And even when your main interest in a dataset is the raw numbers themselves, a dashboard can help to bring meaning by highlighting which values matter most, and what the context of those numbers is...

Over the past few years, interest in civilian, military, and commercial drones has grown rapidly, which has also driven the maker community's interest in open source drone projects. The list of unmanned aerial devices (UAVs) that fit the moniker of drone seems to be constantly expanding. These days, the term seems to encompass everything from what is essentially a cheap, multi-bladed toy helicopter, all the way up to custom-built soaring machines with incredibly adept artificial intelligence capabilities. Most people are looking for something in the middle. They'd like a flying vehicle that is large enough to support a decently long flight time, hold a camera or other data capture device, and perhaps be able to control some (or all) of its flight autonomously using pre-programmed coordinates or real-time data.
9 Rules for the Proper Care and Feeding of Communities and Carnivorous Plants
By Rikki Endsley | November 23, 2016
In 2016, I adopted my first carnivorous plants, a Venus Fly Trap and a Pitcher Plant, which my Facebook friends named Gordon and Bananarama, respectively. I quickly discovered that the health of Gordon and Bananarama was closely connected to the environment I provided as much as to their ability to catch the occasional bug and get energy from the sun. In this article, I'll pull from my experience working with open source communities—and a few months of experience keeping Gordon and Bananarama alive—to explain how caring for carnivorous plants is much like caring for a community...

How to Grow Healthy Open Source Project Infrastructures
By Elizabeth K. Joseph | March 30, 2017
In 2013 I joined the OpenStack Infrastructure team. In the four years I spent with the team, I learned a considerable amount about the value of hosting an infrastructure for an open source project in the open itself. In 2014 I gave a talk at All Things Open and was interviewed by Jason Baker about how we'd done our systems administration in the open. My involvement on this team led me to advocate for systems administrators to use revision control and learn about tools for working with a distributed team. At the OpenStack Summit in Austin in 2016, our team did a talk on navigating the open source OpenStack Infrastructure...

Top Open Source Projects to Watch in 2017
By Jason Baker | December 29, 2016
No one has a crystal ball to see the future of technology. Even for projects developed out in the open, code alone can't tell us whether or not a project is destined for success—but there are hints along the way. For example, perhaps it's not unreasonable to assume that the projects that will help shape our future are those projects that have first seen rapid growth and popularity among the developer community. So which new projects should an open source developer watch in 2017? Let's take a look at a few projects that emerged in 2016 to achieve rapid notoriety in the GitHub community...

Claudio Ranieri was relaxing in Rome on Monday following his sacking as Leicester manager nine months after an historic Premier League title win – but the Italian's presence was everywhere around the King Power Stadium as the Foxes dominated Liverpool on a night of high emotion.
Ranieri spent the day with his grandson at the Bioparco Zoo while the team he took to the title in arguably British sport's greatest story battled their way out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win against Liverpool.
And if he managed to find himself in front of a television screen he will have witnessed a familiar sight. It was the return of the Leicester team that won the title last season but one that has been missing in action in the events that led to the dismissal.The 65-year-old may be gone but he was never forgotten on a night Leicester's fans gave thanks to the manager who made their dreams come true.
Hours before kick-off, as a rainbow formed over the stadium that saw such gloriously unexpected success last season, Leicester supporters were out in force to publicly express their gratitude to Ranieri amid criticism – fairly mild it must be stated – of the club's Thai owners.
The stadium was awash with Ranieri face masks and more banners ranging from "Hero Godfather" to "Ranieri Your Players And Owners Let You Down. Disgraceful".
Leicester's Thai owners were in attendance, exchanging warm greetings with England manager Gareth Southgate and several fans who approached them as they waited in their seats before kick-off.
Some Leicester fans looked close to tears in the moments before the start when the strains of Nessum Dorma played over the loudspeaker. It revived memories of the glorious day in May when the triumphant Ranieri stood alongside tenor Andrea Bocelli in the centre circle as he started the celebrations on the afternoon the Foxes received the title trophy.
The moment was relived on the big screen along with highlights from last season, its conclusion greeted with prolonged, thunderous applause.
It lifted an atmosphere that had been subdued pre-match, with Leicester's fans nursing a genuine sense of sporting loss for their departed manager.
Leicester's players knew they would face searching questions and unforgiving scrutiny no matter how this night played out.
Lose and they would be asked 'had they lost last season's magic forever'? Win and they would face inevitable claims – vehemently denied by members of the squad – that they had downed tools to force Ranieri out, only to pick them up again once he had gone.
There was a show of strength before kick-off with hugs and a pre-match huddle, with the answer about their attitude revealed within seconds of the kick-off with a fierce tackle from a fired-up Jamie Vardy that took the ball and flattened Sadio Mane in one movement.

Northwest Living
A San Francisco family unplugs — and connects — at a fabulous summer beach home
Originally published July 8, 2016 at 7:00 am Updated July 8, 2016 at 10:07 pm
This South Sound getaway for making memories, and preserving history, was inspired by a treasured family cabin.
Sandy Deneau Dunham
Pacific NW magazine associate editor
KRISTEN'S BIG-CITY FRIENDS are curious: What does one do, exactly, at a South Sound beach house … all … summer … long?
Well. Naturally, there is driftwood to gather. Crabs to track. Tide tables to consult. Boats to row, row, row.
"The tree frog is on the deck, and it's the highlight of the day," Kristen says.
And it's that deep.
"So much of life is changing," she says. "Activities are yearlong. There's no downtime. Here you start to let go, get more in tune with nature. It's kind of a lost art."
Peter Brachvogel and Stella Carosso of BC&J Architecture aligned the axes of the home, built by Fujita Construction, "dead center with the centerline of Mount Rainier, which is why there's a slight angle to the beach — boom!" says Brachvogel. The deck, in Garapa wood, is covered by a glass pergola right outside the living area that creates an always-light, dripless space. (Benjamin Benschneider/The Seattle Times)
It's hard to imagine a better studio of rediscovery than the buoyant nautical-themed getaway where San Franciscans Kristen; her husband, Greg; and their 3- and 5-year-old daughters create family memories, and preserve family history, every unplugged summer.
Roots, as well as purpose, run deep at this woodsy waterfront retreat.
Kristen's father came to this special spot as a boy, back when there was just a "tiny teeny cabin." He went off to college and off to war but always came back — and always told the cabin's owners, "If you ever want to sell …" And then, they did.
"My mom cried: 'What are you doing?' " Kristen says. "We had to pump water to brush our teeth. Dad carried us three girls on his back to the outhouse."
The chandelier in the dining area is tumbled beach glass wired by hand in South Africa; Kristen and Greg found it, "as a fluke," hanging in an Anthropologie store. They thought, wisely: "This could be awesome." The table, under a 10-foot ceiling, is from Restoration Hardware. (Benjamin Benschneider/The Seattle Times)
There've been a few upgrades since then: Kristen's dad has retired next door, and the tiny teeny cabin has made way for a stunning home — with indoor plumbing! — thanks to one more family connection.
The father of one of its two architects, Peter Brachvogel of BC&J Architecture (who collaborated with BC&J's Stella Carosso), grew up with Kristen's dad in Aberdeen.
"All my life I had heard the names and stories from his childhood," Brachvogel says. "It was quite a surprise to connect with Greg and Kristen at the age of 51." (In honor of the Aberdeen High School mascot, Brachvogel dubbed this "Project Bobcat" and put the school logo on all the plans.)
Brachvogel toured the family cabin, which had grown addition by addition over the summers ("It was like walking through a time capsule," he says) and held design meetings with Greg and Kristen on its deck.
"It was going to be really hard to tear down the cabin and re-create what we had," Kristen says. "You just can't do that. But I wanted the layout almost the exact same, and it kind of is. You don't want to forget all the generations before us."
"Having a round room was a place (Kristen) wanted for everyone to sit and look at each other," Brachvogel says. So the dining room is basically "a round shape in a square box" and "one of the most complex framing jobs in a long time. It's a perfect circle over the dining table." (Benjamin Benschneider/The Seattle Times)
A vision evolved: a special place to build memories. A beach house. A whimsical beach house, filled with wonder and fun. And history.
Beachy whimsy kicks in on the walk to the front door, where a silvery-gray patinaed boardwalk bends through billowy seagrass; special-ordered pressure-treated pilings from Oregon; and, of course, sand. "I love my time on the East Coast," Greg says. "It was so relaxing to see that grass in the wind and put your feet in the hot sand. It says beach."
Inside, paddles are incorporated into the stair railings — yes; actual paddles, 105 of them, from everyone's go-to home-design center: Cabela's.
A crow's nest/office, at the lofty end of a steep ladder staircase, lets Greg work across time zones without waking anyone — and with the best view in the place. "I grew up in treehouses and forts and wanted a place where the girls could be up and look down, and Greg could crawl up and work," Kristen says. "The higher up we went, the views just got better and better. Greg can be captain of the ship; he can see the girls on the water or on the tennis court."
In the above-garage, 500-square-foot "bunkhouse," Kristen's grandmother's 100-year-old pineapple beds gleam in new white paint, and Brachvogel created a panel system on the ceiling that replicates the interior paneling of the original cabin.
A photo of Kristen's mom in a turquoise outfit inspired the kitchen: a shiny turquoise backsplash, a bright-blue Dutch door, complementing gray Caesarstone countertops. (Benjamin Benschneider/The Seattle Times)
Outside the kitchen-sink windows, the sills are set at just the right height for stools. Pop open those windows, and belly right up: It's a walk-up tiki bar, where dripping saltwater-soaker-uppers can fuel up on sundaes.
Throughout, nautical flags and lighting; marine-cleat hardware; engineered French white oak flooring with a weathered look; beach grays, whites, blues and greens; and beach themes (a "starfish bathroom" and a "seagull room") all contribute to the summery vibe that makes this so-not-a-big-city retreat a place of relaxed simplicity, and so much more.
Kristen and Greg's family has had a "lot of wildlife moments" at its waterfront getaway: They've spotted an enormous seal they named Buoy, who sleeps on the dock; a bald eagle; and, a few years ago, a killer whale pod. "Those are the moments you don't forget," Kristen says. (Benjamin Benschneider/The Seattle Times)
"You don't realize how 'on' you are all the time until you step back," Kristen says. "The importance of checking out, to be a kid again — we're out here being kids with our own kids, being present and creating memories. It's just nice to play with your kids."

Lumen Fest lights up Uptown Waterloo
Alyssa Di SabatinoOctober 2, 20194 mins read
Photo by Alyssa Di Sabatino
On Sep. 28, Uptown Waterloo hosted Lumen, the second annual festival that features interdisciplinary installations of art, technology, and light.
From 6-11 p.m, festival-goers were able to explore Uptown Waterloo and interact with over 27 installations at over 25 locations, spread across Uptown in four "zones." Several musical acts were also featured at the event throughout the night.
Lumen featured works from local and international artists and installations ranged from high-tech to low-tech, with one of the most industrial of installations being a 30' long and 19' tall metal fire-breathing dragon, named "Heavy Meta."
Among the line-up of local artists were muralist and painter, Trisha Abe and photographer, Taylor Jones.
Low-tech, yet nonetheless intriguing, their installation titled "Luminous Living" featured a domestic living room set-up consisting of a couch, carpet, TV and coffee table, all of which were brightly coloured or covered in neon tape.
Black lights were set up to make the space fluorescent and glowing, and created a vibrant and minimalistic living room space. One of Abe's murals was hanging above the couch, with the feminine silhouettes also glowing from the black light.
"We wanted to just kind of both do something different for this exhibit, which is pretty out of both of our comfort zones," Abe said.
"We wanted to make something simple that we could put a fun twist to. We originally were thinking about lighting — using actual lights to light up and do outlines around the couch, but we landed on using bright fluorescent tape…" Jones said.
Those who visited this installation were able to sit on the couch, read the magazines on the coffee table and interact with it as if it were their own living room. The small crowd which had formed around the tent was reflective of the popularity of this installation.
I think having something that's interactive gives people a chance to absorb it a little bit more.
— Taylor Jones, photographer
"It's fun to see people actually taking on the role, people are putting their feet up and reading books and really making themselves at home here," said Abe.
By the time I had reached the installation, the sun had gone down and the bright colours stood out even more in the dark, which made for plenty of Instagram-worthy photos and created a fun and lively atmosphere.
"I enjoy seeing the people interacting with it. You can put art out there and put it on the wall, but I think having something that's interactive gives people a chance to absorb it a little bit more," said Jones. This sentiment extended to all the exhibits, as the most popular ones seemed to be the ones where attendees were able to experience the art first hand.
Another one of my favourite installations was "Monarch," a butterfly-shaped physical synth. Comprised of electronic circuits, oscillators, instrument picks and a reverb string, the butterfly on the screen would react when the instruments were plucked or picked.
When left alone the butterfly would float calmly on the screen, but when the strings and picks were touched, it would change colours, shake, twitch, and transform to the tune of the music being played.
Featured in Zone 1 along with "Monarch" was "Circuit Makers," where festival-goers were invited to make potato batteries, reminiscent of a high-school science project.
A light would turn on once the battery was complete, and was then lined up on the ground to represent King St, Waterloo in 1911; the point in history when street lights changed from gas to electric.
This installation couldn't have been more fitting for the festival. In a sense, Lumen's aim to light-up Uptown Waterloo directly coincides with the point in history where Uptown was quite literally lit up for the first time, almost 108 years ago.
In Zone 4, another installation titled "Memory Lightbox Sculpture" placed contemporary Uptown Waterloo beside its own history.
Inside the lightbox were archived photos, found images, and shared photographs of Waterloo's community art centre, The Button Factory, throughout its years in honour of its 25th Anniversary.
The latter two installations celebrated Uptown Waterloo's public spaces throughout history, and the animation of these spaces invited attendees to momentarily step back in history and experience Waterloo's past.
The intersection of both technology and art was really interesting to witness, and it allowed attendees to explore Uptown Waterloo from a new and fluorescent perspective.
Other installations ranged from a sculpture illuminated by human touch to light-up balloon instruments and more.
Lumen definitely had something for everybody and showcased a multitude of local and international talent in a fun and refreshing lens. Although Lumen is young, I can see it only growing from here.

Our mission is simple: source and prepare the freshest ingredients for our handcrafted Thai cuisine. Each meal is worthy of our family at home, which means you'll enjoy an authentic taste of Thailand at every visit.
Each plate begins with high-quality meats, or fresh seafood from our own processing facility. Next, we add vegetables, fruit, and aromatics from local suppliers. The finishing touches are traditional seasonings and our incredible house-made sauces.
Harvested from the bountiful Pacific and processed in our own facility, you'll be amazed at the freshness of our seafood.
Each sauce is handcrafted daily from family recipes passed down from generation to generation.
In a perfect marriage of ingredients and seasonings, each dish is prepared with time-honored methods.
The tradition and history of Thailand in every delicious bite.
The Simply Thai story begins in Laos, which is located on the Southeast Asian peninsula. On its western border is Thailand, Vietnam is to the east. Laos is a beautiful country full of ancient arts, culture, and food.
Executive Chef Nita Moore traces her culinary history back to the Laotian royal family. Her family's recipes were passed down from generation to generation. Nita's grandparents prepared meals for the monarchy utilizing fresh local ingredients. They prepared each meal in the time-honored methods of Laotian tradition.
Behind all great food is an even greater story.
We are extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of our small-but-mighty kitchen staff. They carefully process shrimp for fresh rolls, grill each chicken satay to order, slice crisp bell peppers for curries and much, much more.
Thai cuisine blends Chinese, Indian, and Southeast Asian influences into something uniquely Thai. It is light, fresh, and traditionally seasoned with chili, peppers, and aromatic herds. The secret of Thai cooking is the delicate balance between the spices and the main ingredients so that one does not overwhelm the other.
The seasonings may seem complicated but they are not. Many are everyday favorites: onions, garlic, basil, coriander (cilantro), ginger, mint, chili, pepper, curry, lemongrass, eggplant, and lime leaves. Exotic, sophisticated, and delicious, the blend and balance of many flavors is what creates the unique taste of Thai cuisine.

Hi there ePers! Today I (Erin) am showing you my bag that I made for the eP Picks Challenge hosted by the always lovely Ms. Toni!
When I first learned about this challenge, I was racking my brain on what medium to use! Paper? Seed sack? Lace handkerchiefs? Redecorate a gift bag? Use a brown lunch bag?
I decided to use up some of my seed sacks that I bought from my cousin's yard sale last summer! She wanted to get rid of them, and I knew that I could find something useful to do with them sometime! Well, that time came now!
Seed sacks are kind of like the old laundry bags from college, but without a flat bottom. If that makes any sense! It's tough, hard, stiff canvas.
Throughout this whole process, I did not measure. I eyeballed all of the sides, and roughly eyeballed the handles.
The first panel was my face. Which, it's not MY face! My 4 yr. old daughter and I had a discussion about this face! She asked who it was a picture of and I responded no one. She said, "No Mom, really, who is it?" I replied again, now a bit agitated, "It's no one, ok?!" She came back with, "Jeez Mom, you don't have to be mean about it!" LOL!
So, the face just kind of drew itself. I used black gesso and a paint brush.
To create the background, I just used different stencils and more Acrylic Paint colors and more gesso!
I pretty much did the same thing for all of the sides.
The difference for the back/front panel w/ the words 'My Craft Bag', are that those are sprays with different stencils and black gesso for the tiny circles stencil.
The difference for the rose panel is that I used white embossing paste, which I mixed a color into and using the edge/end of my palette knife, laid down the paste in the form of a rose.
I did have help on this, in the sewing it together portion! I only sew on paper! I NEVER sew fabric! Hey, I'd actually have to measure something! YIKES!
Anyway, I did the handles, and was successful at attaching 2 panels together, and then my sewing machine decided not to work right. So, I handed my project over to my mother to sew the rest of it together. I had strict instructions on how I wanted it done. And she is such a darling and finished it for me so that I could post it here on my day!
I hope that you have been inspired by my bag and want to try out for our challenge! This is a perfect opportunity to think outside the box!!!!
+this article is very helpful and effective.thanks to the writer.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your bags! The colors and stenciling and that Face are all so FAB, Erin! LOVE how you listed your craft supplies on your craft bag!
Wowsers, I am so impressed that you actually sewed the bag. AWESEOME! I love all the colors and the different things....the flowers and that face!!!!!!
CUUUUUTE Erin, it makes me smile, looove it!

Win it All (2017) Movie Review
July 3, 2017 Alex Brannan	Leave a comment
The setup to Win it All, the new film from director Joe Swanberg who co-wrote the film with its star Jake Johnson, is an anticipatory slippery slope. Compulsive gambler Eddie (Johnson) is left with a shady bag of cash. We know what is about to happen. He knows it too, repeating "Oh, no" with a nervous dread.
Eddie starts on an uptick. An on-screen counter shows us as he racks up a profit. In the process, he meets a woman named Eva (Aislinn Derbez) in a bar after the interminably awkward dance that occurs when two people step in the same direction as they cross paths.
What goes up, must come down. Thus is the norm of any gambling narrative. As Eddie himself says, sometimes the world just brings things together perfectly. Mostly, however, it doesn't.
Joe Swanberg has a certain way about him when it comes to dialogue. It is mumblecore without the pretension of the mumble. It is the conversation that Eddie has with Eva over breakfast. Or the reaction his brother (Joe Lo Truglio) has when he comes looking for a job. Natural and human without being completely stripped bare.
Win it All doesn't play on bells and whistles. The story takes you down the rabbit hole that you recognize from the last gambling movie you saw. But it does it successfully by following its central character down the tube to the bottom. The irony of his final situation, the rock-and-a-hard-place conundrum, is adequately tense, even if it is set up with humor.
This climax is staged in almost complete silence. Some mumbled conversation, banter as a nervous Eddie tries to coax his way into a winning streak, permeates through. But mostly it is just the clinking of chips as he struggles his way through.
At least at first. Then that ominous drum score kicks in.
Win it All is a light dramedy with a lot of weight behind its characters. As straightforward as its narrative is, it still provides enough—particularly in Johnson's performance—to satisfy from start to finish.

Editor's note: Leslie Hawthorne Klingler is the new editor of Rejoice! (see bottom for more info) devotional magazine, working this year from Mexico. Her experiences there help educate all of us on how traditions for Easter and other Christian holidays differ around the world.
My family is currently living in Querétaro, Mexico, while my husband directs a study program here. Having lived in Spanish and Latin American contexts before, I knew that my Easter celebration this year would be different than our typical celebration in the States.
As expected, the Evangelical congregation we are attending emphasized on Resurrection Sunday the fact that we are people of life and therefore no longer adulate death "as do others in these days." To create distance from congregants' pre-conversion lives, non-Catholic Christians rarely mark Easter with anything special. I have heard from the pulpit that "every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday" and is celebrated as such, eliminating the need to make an idol out of the Easter holiday.
Nonetheless, Catholic observances dominate Querétaro during Holy Week, and I am glad I got to witness them. The silent procession we attended in no way glorified death* but rather reminded participants of the sorrow of it. As I watched cloaked penitents silently wind their way through Querétaro's narrow streets and observed them carrying their crosses and heavy images of the weeping Virgin and her suffering Son, I cried with them over our sin and loss. Yes, I knew that Sunday was coming, but I also realized that on Good Friday it was so very dark.
On the real Good Friday of Jesus' death, anyone sustaining any form of hope was nursing a pipe dream, wanting something impossible to take place. As the disciples faced the unbearable fact that their Messiah was dead, only the unimaginable could make a real difference. They couldn't fathom it until after it happened.
* The "exploding Judas" tradition may perhaps be considered an exception to the somber Lenten portrayal of death. During Holy Week, paper mache effigies of Judas (or, what I preferred to tell my kids, the devil that overtook Judas) are sold in the streets, and on the night of Holy Saturday they are burned like fireworks. Much to the delight of my children, the "exploding Judas" certainly made a statement!

Lindsey Branston
Passion for performance: A CGMA's perspective
Lindsey Branston, CPA, CGMA, is director of financial operations for the 70,000-member BMW Car Club of America and director of finance for the club's charitable foundation in Greenville, S.C.
I've been fortunate to join an organization where my passion for strategy and financial analysis fit hand in glove with my love for cars and driving. As a CGMA, I know many financial strategies work on paper, but success depends on a deep understanding of how the club operates and of our members' needs and desires. Our members are BMW enthusiasts—I'm one too. I go to car events all over the world to keep my finger on the pulse of BMW owner culture. Both my husband and I drive BMWs: an X5 SUV and a 435 convertible. Like many of our members, there's a car I dream about owning. For me it's an E9, a coupe built from 1968 to 1975.
How did you end up in a finance job for BMW?
When I was in public accounting, I worked with the BMW Car Club doing their audits. Then I started my own accounting firm and contracted with the club to provide financial management services. Since becoming a CGMA, I've expanded the work that I've done with the club and the foundation.
What are the keys to your success?
BMW owners—our members—tend to be people of influence. They have high performance expectations of their cars and of their car club too. Knowing this, I'm always looking to increase my own skills to make the organization stronger. The CGMA groups competencies into: technical, business, people and leadership. All of these are necessary for a finance director or CFO. In my case, because I started my career in public accounting, I had a strong technical background and a pretty strong business background too. So, I've focused on developing my people and leadership skills—these are key to my success in advising our executive director and board and in working with business partners.
If you could name just one skill…
Skills-wise, an analytical mind is the most important thing to have. It's like tuning a car—not just the engine but the whole car. Everything that you're doing, you've constantly got to be looking at it from different angles—thinking strategically. How is this going to affect that? What is the ultimate goal? Why are these details playing into the big picture? The ability to look at things from different angles is not just seeing numbers on the page, but really trying to take in all of the aspects of the business in order to lay into the financial side. Essentially, it's a combination of skills related to big-picture perspective.
How do you approach communication?
Too often we think of communication in terms of getting your message out to people and persuading them to do what you want. That's part of it. But it's not the most important part. The most critical skill for an effective management accountant is the ability to listen to others. Numbers might start a discussion, but people will tell you a story. Keep your eyes and ears open. As you listen you'll gather knowledge and, more importantly, establish trust—trust that you'll need when it comes time to persuade people. The CGMA puts a lot of emphasis on communication—it's critically important.
Advice for people entering the profession?
Don't be afraid to pursue your passions. When combined with the right competencies and performance, focusing on what you love can lead to a highly rewarding career.

Lying, revealing classified information, oh just take your pick...
In an interview after the speech, Harris said she learned from classified information about the 100 potential attacks that have been thwarted since 9/11.
"Actually, it's been more than 100," she said. "It's classified … obviously not classified to me … but things I can't go into detail about."
Harris told the audience that while she was in the Midwest recently, the mayor of Carmel, Ind., recounted how a man of Middle Eastern heritage had been arrested. She said hundreds of pounds of explosives were found in his home.
"He had plans to blow up the area's entire power grid," she said.
Pressed after the speech for details about the arrest, Harris said it had not been made public and she asked a reporter not to name the city she mentioned to the audience.
"I probably said too much," Harris said.
Edna Hussman of Venice said she came to the event primarily to see Harris.
"She's an attraction," said Hussman, a retiree who has lived in Venice 21 years. "I like her integrity, her honesty. She's classy, but she doesn't make you feel she's looking down on you."

We recommend making Vintageweave a go-to for those who prefer to purchase one-of-a-kind wedding gifts for friends and family.

An American naval flag that could date to the Revolutionary War is seen at the Charleston Museum in Charleston, S.C., on April 30, 2014. The flag is part of a new exhibit of flags at the museum, that opens on May 5, 2014. Experts at the museum say they don't have enough information to accurately date the flag that could be from the Revolution or perhaps created during the centennial of the Revolution in the 1870s.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Dozens of flags, many never displayed in modern times, go on exhibit Monday at America's earliest museum.
The collection of the Charleston Museum includes flags from the Civil War which opened with the bombardment of nearby Fort Sumter. The collection spanning two centuries also features the banners of unreconstructed white Southerners who formed rifle clubs after the war as well as an unusual 42-star United States flag.
Also on display are the varied designs of Southern militia flags and a rare seven-star Stars and Bars, the first Confederate national flag which was used for only a few months in 1861 at the time the South seceded from the Union.
"Unfurled: Flags from the Collections of the Charleston Museum" will be on display in the museum in the city's historic district through Jan. 4 of next year.
"Most of them are in pretty fragile condition because of the nature of the flag and they have been flown outside or in battle," said Jan Hiester, the curator of textiles at the museum.
The museum was established in 1773, three years before the Declaration of Independence, and was the first founded in the nation, said Dewey Blanton, a spokesman for the American Alliance of Museums based in Washington, D.C.
The collection's Civil War flags have been displayed numerous times. "Some of the others we have never had an occasion to display and some are in such fragile condition we have never had the opportunity," she said.
Now, a recently renovated textile gallery makes the display of those flags possible. Light can fade textiles over time and damage fibers. The new ventilated display cases are illuminated with LED lights that produce less heat and less ultraviolet radiation.
"When we set out to construct this gallery we consulted with a textile conservator on everything from ventilation to light," said Grahame Long, the museum's chief curator. "But we still don't want to have textiles out too long. It's not like an iron cannon ball."
He said having the flags on display for eight months "is stretching it. You don't want to go much farther than that."
Some of the flags are so fragile they are displayed on mats because they can't hang free. In storage the flags are stored rolled or in drawers away from the light.
The seven-star Stars and Bars flag is large and would have flown over a fort, not carried into battle by an infantryman. The flag was only used for a short time as the seven stars were quickly replaced with additional stars when more Southern states seceded.
The militia flags show a variety of insignia that local units used when the Civil War broke out.
"Before the war these militia units have pretty complete autonomy from the governor. They make their own flags and uniforms and they can make pretty much anything they want," Long said.
The flag of the Carolina Rifle Club, dating to 1869, has the image of the South Carolina state symbol, the palmetto tree, and a motto in Latin proclaiming, "faithful to my unhappy country."
The rifle clubs "were social clubs and probably hung their banners wherever they were meeting. But the underlying message was they were an armed group of whites," Hiester said.
At the time certain rifle and saber clubs in the South were thinly disguised social clubs of whites who often would use terror tactics similar to those once used by the Ku Klux Klan against blacks.
The 42-star American flag on display was never officially adopted by the government. That's because before it could be, Idaho joined the Union in 1890 giving the nation 43 states and the flag 43 stars.


EU-ACP relations after Cotonou Agreement: Re-set, re-launch or retreat?
Struck in 2000 in Benin, the Cotonou Agreement has shaped relations between the EU and African, Caribbean and Pacific countries (ACP) for nearly 20 years. The accord expires in 2020 and negotiations between the European Union and the ACP on its successor will begin in the coming weeks.
This week is the Socialists and Democrats Group's second installment of Africa Week, which this year will focus on the "Youth and Future of Africa". Follow EURACTIV's Special Report for insights into work being done for a stronger EU-Africa partnership.
With its young and growing population, Africa needs to create 18 million new jobs every year in order to allow everyone to make a living. Public-private partnerships can unlock funding for development while creating jobs and strengthening local economies.

Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery where people profit by deceiving, controlling, coercing and exploiting others. The victims of human trafficking include children involved in the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of "labor or services" against their will. It is very real and happens all around us.
