What are the application criteria?

Goal of the grant

The Global Health Journalism Grant Programme aims to advance innovative reporting on global health topics in developing countries in German media. The goal of the grant is to raise awareness about global health issues of the general public, and to inform and engage influencers and decision makers in government, civil society, industry, and the medical as well as development communities. The grants are worth between €5,000 and €20,000 each - including potential travel and technical expenses according to the scope of project.

Please note: This programme is open to freelancers, staff journalists and newsrooms!

The call is now closed!
(The deadline to apply was 11 July 2018 (22:00 CET))

Your story pitch is the most important part of the application. Projects submitted are required to deal with global health in developing countries.

The topic of health and the description of health care in the developing countries should be put in the broader context of development cooperation, political stability, migration and international relations.

A clear benefit, but not a must, is to provide a link to Germany in the story. As such, the reporting could be connected to Germany’s global health policies or the activities of either health-related German government organisations or NGOs on the ground.

We strongly support the coverage of under-reported health topics or new and surprising angles on familiar topics.

Selection criteria

The jury will judge applications based on the following criteria:

  • Editorial focus and quality. Is the topic original, balanced and focused? Does it cover an under-reported story, or a new angle? Will it be a strong piece of journalism that gets attention?
  • Reach and impact. Will the story (and the media outlets that will publish it) reach a large number of people in at least one of the audience target groups? Does it have the potential to raise people’s awareness? Will it cause engagement or change of thinking and even acting?

Audience and impact

Grantees should produce in-depth stories which will contribute to a higher awareness and knowledge of the topic in Germany.

All projects must provide reporting related to global health beyond the limitations of daily news cycles. They are required to address by theme, style, and presentation, at least one of target audience groups:

  • the general public;
  • policy makers, researchers or business leaders with a stake in global health.

The story should be designed to have an impact on society in Germany, and its political influencers, decision makers or business leaders with a stake in global health. The reported issues are intended to enhance a better understanding about the interrelation of public health and the political, social and economic stability in developing countries.

Country focus

The projects must take place in one or several developing countries, ideally Least Developed Countries (LDCs), excluding the countries from the former Yugoslav Republic, former Soviet Union countries, China and countries covered by a US embargo (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria).

The story should ideally be innovative in topic, angle, approach and format. As such we encourage investigative and data journalism, data visualisation, video and multimedia production and the application of social media in the dissemination. Traditional reporting projects are also eligible.

Who is eligible?

Freelance or permanently employed individual journalists, or small teams of journalists (including support staff as appropriate, e.g., graphic designers, software programmers, or data experts), may apply for funding for a story in whichever format they deem best suited to their topic and audience (text, video, audio, or multimedia).

The applicants should be experienced in reporting on the topics of health, science, business or development and need to publish in relevant* media from Germany. Journalists are strongly encouraged to publish in multiple outlets.

* For the definition, see Media Partners

There are no citizenship or residence requirements, as long as your project is produced and published in German and the media outlets you will report for are German, with their main audiences in Germany.

Media Partners

A relevant media outlet is considered to be one of the following: a broadcaster with at least broad regional reach; a mainstream print magazine or newspaper; a print trade publication or specialist magazine of particular influence as a multiplier; a website of significant reach and audience; an electronic format such as a mobile application; or a contribution to an existing app – with demonstrable potential to reach a large audience.

The original reporting has to be produced in the German language and published by one or more media organisations in Germany targeting at least one of audience groups mentioned above. We appreciate a “Letter of Intent” from a relevant media organisation in the application, with an editor confirming the commitment to publish or air the proposed reporting project. However, such a publication commitment can be provided at a later stage if not available in time. Less relevant media outlets in Germany or media organisations outside Germany are most welcome for supplemental dissemination.

Please note that Deutsche Welle is not eligible as a primary outlet but can be considered a good secondary media partner for the dissemination of the project.

What we fund

Journalists may apply for a grant ranging between €5,000 and €20,000. For freelancers, the sum should cover the freelancer’s fees and the costs for the production of the project, including travel expenses, translation, equipment rental, insurance, multimedia production, etc. Freelance journalist fees should be at market rate and be a reasonable percentage of the overall budget. For employed journalists, the grant cannot cover costs for their salaries, and productions costs are only admitted if the media organisation cannot provide it. Grantees will be required to submit a detailed budget plan which has to be approved by the EJC.

Once the budget is approved, receipts or documents will not have to be submitted to the EJC for approval systematically. However, they should be collected and kept throughout the project to be provided on specific clarification requests. Our experienced jury will reject proposals with unrealistic budgets, so applicants are urged to research the budget thoroughly.

Grants include all and any taxes for which the grantees/newsrooms may be liable, and grantees are responsible for their own tax declarations.

We also encourage freelancers to claim fees from the media outlets publishing their projects and may keep all such revenue.

Copyright and distribution

Once the original story has been published, all projects funded through this grant project will be further distributed via this website.

The projects are allowed to add advertisements and yet must be published under a universal open access policy. Therefore they cannot be published behind paywalls and have to be freely accessible to a national or a global online audience. Publication under a Creative Commons License is encouraged, in order to allow for global and free access. All original data generated or collected must be made reusable for other stories and investigations.

For examples of global health reporting funded by the European Journalism Centre, see the showcases from a similar programme, the first Global Health Journalism Grant Programme for Germany, here.

Eligibility checklist for applicants:

  • Am I an experienced journalist?
  • Do I have contacts to relevant media organisations in Germany?
  • Am I producing in German for an audience in Germany?
  • Is my topic focused on global health?
  • Is my story likely to have some impact?
  • Am I reporting from/about an LDC or a developing country?
  • Will I reach at least one of the target groups with the story and my outlet(s)?

The Key to Happiness: Stop Searching For It

As human beings we all just want to be happy, and who knows maybe we are destined to just pursue this illusory thing we call happiness in an endless pursuit of what we think will bring us a feeling that really can’t be described in words.

But maybe what we are really looking for is to find this feeling, this sense of purpose and belonging, in the everyday behaviors that make us who we truly are. Maybe when we realize that there is nothing to look for, that life itself is the reason we exist and that is more than enough, we can begin to understand that with all of the “ups” and “downs” we experience there is only this present moment and our perception of it that can bring us the feeling we think we need to survive.

So perhaps we can stop searching and surrender instead, yield to the fact that we are who we are and there is nothing that will change that, but the only thing that really needs changing is the way we think about who we are, that the paths we have chosen will lead us exactly where we are meant to be and the journey leading us there may just be beyond our scope of understanding. This doesn’t, however, make it anything less than the perfect voyage into a land unknown led by the light of a thousand fires burning by our sides.

These fires are the illuminations of our souls, the elucidations of a hidden corridor deep within the castles of our minds that reflect the inner most desire we each share, the only thing that we all truly have in common: love. It is the glue that holds our reality together, the adhesive in a cohesive world of light and dark, of positive and negative, of that which we believe makes us who we are and that which brings us together in one unified field of consciousness, showing us the truth behind all of the lies and propaganda attempting to mimic the only thing that can possibly be called real.

When I started this post I had no rhyme or reason, just an intense desire to share my experience with you all in the only way that I know how: through words, but now I see that this light behind my eyes, that very same light that shines on the world from behind your own, is that which brightens my experience and allows me to flow into a sense of happiness, a sense of finding something I never lost but instead convinced myself that I needed to search for.

Capturing A Silken Thief by Jeannie Lin/The Oracle of Stamboul by Michael David Lukas: Two for Tuesday Reviews

The Oracle of Stamboul

Late in the summer of 1877, a flock of purple-and-white hoopoes suddenly appears over the town of Constanta on the Black Sea, and Eleonora Cohen is ushered into the world by a mysterious pair of Tartar midwives who arrive just minutes before her birth. “They had read the signs, they said: a sea of horses, a conference of birds, the North Star in alignment with the moon. It was a prophecy that their last king had given on his deathwatch.” But joy is mixed with tragedy, for Eleonora’s mother dies soon after the birth.

Raised by her doting father, Yakob, a carpet merchant, and her stern, resentful stepmother, Ruxandra, Eleonora spends her early years daydreaming and doing housework—until the moment she teaches herself to read, and her father recognizes that she is an extraordinarily gifted child, a prodigy.

For me, The Oracle of Stamboul by Michael David Lukas had so much promise, and just did not deliver it. The magical quality with which the story began, the flock of purple and white hoopoes, the mysterious midwives who suddenly arrive lead one to believe that the book will continue in this way, but it does not. For the first bit of the book it does, but once Elenora’s father dies, Elanora becomes really a very bland character with no real personality. The book also takes on a much more passive quality to it, where in things happen TO Elenora, rather than her actively participating in things.

It’s really too bad that the author, who had such a delightful premise going, apparently did not know how to bring it to fruition. Over at Goodreads, you’ll find some reviewers felt much the same way.

On a star rating, I’d have to give this only a ***. It truly was only average. I’ll admit, my star rating would lean more toward 2 1/2 stars than a three if it were possible to do a 1/2 star review anywhere.

Next up is a short story by Jeannie LinCapturing a Silken Thief by Jeannie Lin

Capturing a Silken Thief by Jeannie Lin was a quick, fun read. Set in Changan during the Tang Dynasty in China 823 A.D, we follow the heroine, Yang Jia-jing, and the hero, Luo Cheng through about 56 pages of a richly detailed novella.

Jia is a young song girl who plays the Pipa while Luo Cheng is a farmer boy who has studied for the Imperial Exams, which he has already failed once. If he fails again, he will be forced to return home in shame.

Jia mistakes Cheng for a scholar in possession of a rare treasured book. Eventually, the end up  searching for the book together. It’s a brief romp through Changan, but full of fun and adventure.

More happens, but you’ll have to read Capturing the Silken Thief for yourself to find out what, and how the story ends.

I enjoyed reading this short novella immensely, and it was my first time reading Jeannie Lin. I’ll be reading more of her books for sure. (Come back next week to find out what I thought of Jeannie Lin’s book, “butterfly Swords”.

On a Star rating, this is a **** for sure. Leaning toward 4.25 stars. I do suggest this if you want a quick read and haven’t read Ms. Lin before.

Have you read either of these books, and if so, what did you think of them? If you have not read either of them, are you interested in one or both of them? Comment below and let us know what YOU think.
Disclaimer: I received both books in exchange for an honest review.

Scania begins 2018 in style

Strong sales and financial results for Scania

scania front of truck badge

The arrival of Scania’s new-gen truck range has helped the Swedish brands bottom-line through the first quarter of 2018.

The new trucks (reviewed here) are just arriving in Australia and a number of other markets now, so the strong first quarter results reported today will most likely be replicated through the year.

Related: Big partnership deal for Hino and Volkswagen

Across the first three months of 2018 Scania delivered 29,299 vehicles, a 6% increase on the same period last year.

Those extra sales helped Scania lift their income for the period by 8% to around $4.7 billion AUD.

Henrik Henriksson, President and CEO of Scania, says the year couldn’t have got off to a better start.

“Higher vehicle and service volume contributed positively while a less favourable market mix, higher production costs for running double product ranges and continued constraints in the supply chain impacted earnings negatively.

“Demand for trucks in Europe remains very good due to the positive economic situation.

“In Asia, demand remains at a high level, mainly due to Iran. Demand for Buses and Coaches in Europe continues to be strong.

“The business area Engines has record high demand, mainly driven by order bookings for industrial engines.”

Growth, Stubbornness, and Working on a Memoir for (something like) Ten Years

Sometimes I feel ashamed when people ask if I’m still working on the same book. Yes, for almost a decade now I’ve been working on a memoir, SEARCHING FOR THE HEART RADICAL, with some periods away from it in between. Most of the chapters originated during my time in grad school from 2004-2006, although many of the seeds of those pieces had already been planted during the years I lived and wrote in China from 1999-2002. And in some respects, you might say I’ve been working on this book since the day I was born.

This book has taught me a ton—about the process of writing and about myself. I have grown so much as a writer over these years that I have felt compelled to go back and rewrite most of the pieces, again and again and again. And because it’s a book about discovering myself during my twenties—and I started writing it while still in my twenties—it’s also a book whose deeper meaning has been elusive and unfolding as I’ve grown as a person.   Read more

Using NVivo > Move forward with queries and visualizations

Move forward with queries visualizations

Queries and visualizations can support you at each stage of the research process.

How can queries and visualizations help me?

Queries and visualizations support the iterative nature of qualitative research and help you to investigate hunches as you progress through your project.

It is a good idea to start running queries early on—they can help you focus on the questions you want to ask (and prompt you to code accordingly). They can also help you to determine whether you need to gather additional files of data or re-frame the questions you are asking.

To start with, you may want to run some simple queries and preview the results. As you grow in confidence, you can look at building more complex criteria and storing your results in nodes.

When you begin using queries it can help to remember:

  • Coding queries rely on the work you have done— patchy or inconsistent coding may yield less useful results.
  • Review the query results and make a memo to describe how it contributes to your understanding.
  • While queries and visualizations can give you different perspectives on your data, you will still need to use your analytical skills to interpret the results.
  • Saved queries can act as 'signposts' for future investigation, set them up early and rerun them as you progress through your project.

Query and visualize during your literature review

You can use NVivo for your literature review—and as your project progresses, you may return to the literature to see where your findings support or contradict those of other authors. As you conduct your literature review, you might use the following queries to explore the material:

Queries to support a literature review.

Query and visualize during research design and data collection

In order to keep reliable records and enhance transparency, you can import your research design materials into NVivo—for example, you might import your thesis proposal, project-related timetables, or literature related to methodology.

During research design and data collection, you could create maps to:

  • Show how you arrived at your approach to data collection and analysis
  • Set out and review initial ideas, hunches or theories related to your research question
  • Outline your project schedule, including dates and required tasks:

    A concept map showing the schedule for a research project.

If you have imported literature related to research methods, you could run a Text Search query to find content based on keywords or use a Matrix Coding query to explore how different authors or researchers have applied a specific methodology.

As you move into the data collection phase of conducting interviews, surveys or focus groups you may want to collect demographic information about your respondents—for example, age, gender or location. You can import this 'classification'  information or create it in NVivo—refer to Classify cases for information about how to do this. After classifying and setting up the attributes for your respondents, you can use queries or visualizations to explore your data. For example, you could:

  • Create a chart to check the spread of your respondents—is a particular demographic under-represented? Do you need to collect data from a wider range of respondents?

Query and visualize during data analysis (coding)

Early on in your project, Text Search and Word Frequency queries can help you to organize your data into broad categories. For example, you could use a Text Search query to search for real estate development and automatically code all of the occurrences.

As you move into more detailed coding and continue to organize or 'segment' your data by theme—queries and visualizations can help you to reassemble and examine the themes in ways that address your research question. For example, you may want to explore the co-occurrence of themes (show me content coded at development AND water quality).

Rather than being a one-step process, querying your coding is iterative—one query or visualization may lead to another as you dig deeper into your data.

For example, to explore the idea that respondents are pessimistic about real estate development, you might run the following queries:

Exploring an idea with queries.

If you want to focus on the attitudes and experiences of a particular respondent—you might use the following queries and visualizations:

Queries to support a case study.

Things you need to know about NVivo

Find your way around the workspace

Different parts of the NVivo workspace

1 Navigation View gives you access to items in your project.

2 List View displays the contents of the folder you have selected in Navigation View.

3 Detail View displays the content of your project item when you open it. This might be a file, node reference or visualization.

4 The Menu bar lets you navigate your project and access key features

5 The Status bar displays contextual information that varies depending on what you are doing in your project.

Understand the key terms

Learning the language of NVivo can be challenging. What is a node? What is a file? What is coding?

Get to grips with the words and key terms used in the interface.

What you can learn from your data before you start coding

There are several things you can do straight away in NVivo to gain insights from your data.

First you need to bring in your data—click the Import tab.

  • Try running a text search query to find particular keywords or phrases. For example, find content where the terms rising sea level and property occur within 20 words of each other.
  • Run a word frequency query on your focus group transcript to see what people were talking about most.
  • Read through your files and create a mind map or concept map to model your data or record your hunches.
  • Use NVivo Plus to automatically detect themes and sentiment in your files. The results might give you ideas about further questions to ask of your data. You can switch to the NVivo Plus edition during your trial.

5 things you need to know about nodes and coding

What is coding?

Coding is the process of gathering related material together—and is a fundamental task in most qualitative projects.

What is a node?

In NVivo, a node is a virtual container that holds your coding. Nodes let you gather related material in one place so that you can look for emerging patterns and ideas.

One simple way to code

Open a document in NVivo and, as you read the content, ask yourself “What is this about?”.

Select content, right-click then choose to Code the selection.

Some text selected in the interview with Charles and the short cut menu with the option 'Code' circled

There are many other ways to code including drag and drop, the Quick coding bar and the options in the Coding group on the menu bar.

Make nodes for the themes that you find—for example, comments about water quality go in the Water Quality node. You can also create nodes to represent cases and relationships.

What are coding stripes and why should I use them?

Turn on coding stripes to see what you have coded.

A file with a coded passage shown highlighted and with a coding stripe

Click a coding stripe to highlight the coded content. Right-click on a coding stripe to find other options like Uncode.

See what's in a node

Open a node to see your coding—you can review everything about a topic in one place. For example, you can explore what everyone had to say about water quality.

Example of a node

When you open a node, you can look at the node summary or move through tabs to see all the text, audio, video or pictures that have been coded at that node.

Link the node to a memo that describes your analytical insights or 'code on' to other themes or topics.

Move Toolbars

Click with pressed left mouse key on the dotted line on the left of the toolbar. You are able to change the position of the toolbar.

Enable Icons

You may determine which icons shall be displayed in the toolbar.

Therefore click on the arrow on the right of the toolbar. A menu appears. Here you are able to activate and deactivate the different icons.

The status bar is on the bottom of the screen. Here you find information while you are creating a drawing e.g. the coordinates of the cursor and different drawing functions.

File Menu

The file menu is on the top of the screen  and contains all functions and setting of the LogiKal CAD.

Click with the mouse on a item in the file menu, to display the list of the different options.

You are also able to use the keyboard. Press the ALT key and the underlined character of the menu item.

Example: If you want to create a new drawing, press the ALT key and F. The file menu appears. Now press the key N and a blank page appears on the drawing area.

Context Menu

By using the context menu you are able to get quick access on all relevant functions while creating a drawing.

You may display the context menu by right click in the drawing area.

PAN and Zoom Function

Use the zoom function to enlarge or to reduce the view of drawing.
Move the scroll wheel up to zoom in.
Move the scroll wheel down zoom out.

By using the PAN function you are able to move in a drawing. Therefor press the scroll wheel of the mouse and move it to the desired position.

Element input, CAD and estimation interaction

With LogiKal, CAD and estimation are integrated even more tightly.

For example, you can incorporate your elements into a CAD installation drawing as early as the design phase. To do so, simply add your item views and sections to your drawing.

Modifications made in the Input of Element in LogiKal are immediately updated in the drawing.

You can also edit the elements directly from the drawing.

This is then updated across all workplaces.

This significantly speeds up cooperation at your company and prevents mistakes.

All personnel will have access to the same version of the element’s design.

This interplay also works when a new CAD system is integrated into your workflow.

Here too, modifications are immediately forwarded from CAD to LogiKal and from LogiKal to CAD.

In addition, ERP systems use the same connection to keep materials, resource planning, estimations etc. up to date – no matter where or in what linked program the changes are made, all other instances will be current.

Located in the file menu of CAD is the “Position” menu.

This menu allows you to create completely new projects and positions directly in CAD.

Positions can be added to the drawing area and edited.

To insert the item, open CAD and click on “Position” -> “Insert Position” in the file menu. Select an item from the list.

To generate a cross-sectional view of this position, click on “Position” -> “Set Section Line” in the file menu. Draw the cutting line with the left mouse button pressed.

Place the sectional drawing on the drawing area by pressing the left mouse button.

The sectional view can be changed by clicking the right mouse button.

Dimensional changes can be made directly via “Settings” -> “User Settings” -> “Positions”. This allows you to modify the size ratio between the drawing elements using the scale settings for view and editing.

Previous Function Call in the Context Menu

Simplify the handling in CAD and draw even faster by directly accessing the most recently selected function with just a single mouse click.

In CAD, open the most recently accessed function by clicking the right mouse button: it is always listed at the very top of the context menu.

How to calculate betting margins

Learning how to calculate betting margins is a vital tool in any bettor's armoury. Once you have mastered this simple calculation, you can easily identify who offers the best odds.

Betting margins are the difference between the odds (an implied probability) the customer is offered to bet at, and the true probability of the outcome.

What are bookmakers' margins?

Bookmakers make money by accepting bets on a market and pricing it in a way that does not represent the true probability of the outcomes. This margin, or overround, gives them an edge over bettors.

When pricing an event, bookmakers aim to set odds that will attract betting on both sides of the market, therefore balancing their liability on all possible outcomes.

However, if the bookmaker’s liability is fully balanced, they wouldn't make any money. Therefore they build a margin into their markets, resulting in a profit if their liability is balanced.

A fair market

The simplest way to explain bookmaker margins is with a coin toss. The probability of landing on either side of a coin toss is 50% meaning the odds should be priced at 2.0/2.0 on both sides. You bet £100 to win £100, making it a 100% market.

If a bookmaker offered odds on a coin toss

It is not in the interests of the bookmaker to offer the true probability of an event, so instead they price markets to go above 100% and create an edge in their favour. The deviation of the odds offered from the ‘true price’ is the bookmaker's margin.

For the coin toss, bookmakers would offer heads or tails at odds below 2.0, meaning you would have to bet more to win £100. If the odds were offered at 1.91 - a margin of 4.7% - on average bettors would lose 5p for every pound spent over time.

It’s vital for bettors to recognise the variations in margins across bookmakers and exchanges, as this dictates the value of their odds and the potential profit for a bettor. Unlike exchanges, bookmakers don’t showcase their margin, so you could be setting yourself up to lose over the long run.

Calculating margins on a two-way market

To calculate margins on a two-way market you need to use the following equation:

(1/Decimal Odds option A) * 100 + (1/Decimal Odds option B) * 100 = Margin

As an example let's use Smarkets decimal odds for the 2016 Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic (1.20) and Andy Murray (5.50).

The calculation for the margin above would be:

(1/1.20) * 100 + (1/5.50) * 100 = 101.51%

The margin for this market is therefore 1.51%.

Calculating margins on a 1X2 market

To calculate betting margins on the popular 1X2 market, use the following equation:

(1/Home Odds) *100 + (1/Away Odds) *100 + (1/Draw Odds) *100 = Margin

For our example we will use Smarkets odds for the 2016 League Cup final between Man City (2.56) and Liverpool (3.20) - the draw was available at 3.30.

The calculation for the margin above would be:

(1/2.56) *100 + (1/3.20) *100 + (1/ 3.30) * 100 = 100.61%

How to factor in commission on an exchange

The above examples show how to work out betting margins. However, the calculation does not include an exchange's commission, which can be as high as 5%, unlike Smarkets's industry-low 2%.

To work this out you must first incorporate the commission into the odds. To do this, use this simple calculation:

1 + ((1 – (Commission / 100)) * (Odds – 1)) = Exchange odds with commission factored in

The calculations for the odds including commission on the 2016 Australian Open final between Novak Djokovic (1.20) and Andy Murray (5.50) are:

1 + ((1 – (2 / 100)) * (1.20 – 1)) = 1.19

1 + ((1 – (2 / 100)) * (5.50 – 1)) = 5.41

So to work out the true exchange betting margin, you use the calculation:

(1/1.19) * 100 + (1/5.41) * 100 = 102.51

The margin for this market including commission is therefore 2.51%. In comparison, one UK high street bookmaker offered a margin of 7.88%.

Remember, unlike some other exchanges, commission is only paid on Smarkets if you win.

Apply this to betting

Now that you can calculate betting margins on bookmakers and betting exchanges (including commission), you’re capable of identifying the odds with the most betting value.

Betting margins vary immensely across bookmakers so calculating them correctly will ensure you’re best prepared to make a profit over time - as you now have the tools to identify and bet with the best odds.

Mead-Cockrell Family [RG4254.AM]

RG4254.AM:  Mead-Cockrell Family

Papers:  1891-1974, n.d.
Chadron, Dawes County and Omaha, Douglas County, Neb.:  Settlers
Size:  0.25 cu.ft.; 1 box

Elbert and Georgia (Hilbert) Mead, natives of Charlestown, West Virginia, settled in Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska in 1886. Mr. Mead operated hardware, undertaking, and furniture businesses in Chadron until around 1910 when the family moved to Omaha. Their son Frank died at Camp Sheridan, Illinois in October 1918, a victim of the flu epidemic. Georgia Mead died in Omaha on July 30, 1932. Elbert Mead died in Omaha, probably in December of 1949. The Meads were survived by a daughter, Regina.

Georgia Mead's sister was Regina (Hilbert) Cockrell, who married David S. Cockrell on March 17, 1884. Like the Meads, the Cockrells were natives of Charlestown, West Virginia. Apparently, the Cockrells moved to Chadron prior to the arrival of the Meads, as they homesteaded east of Chadron in 1885. David had been trained in carpentry by his father and had been in northwest Nebraska as early as 1876, helping to build the Pine Ridge Agency. He was also involved in the freighting business. Moving to the city of Chadron in 1892, Cockrell assisted in the building of the courthouse, the high school, and a local hotel. He died while working on a construction project in Lost Cabin, Wyoming, on January 19, 1901.

After David's death, Regina supported herself by operating a novelty store from 1908 until her death on March 13, 1930. She was survived by her daughter, Ruth M. Cockrell, at that time an instructor in the public schools of Malvern, Iowa. Ruth became Dawes County, Nebraska Assistance Director in the 1930s. Ruth moved to Omaha in 1940 and lived in the Mead home while serving as head of the Travelers Aid Society. She died in Omaha in 1988.

This collection consists of one box of manuscript material arranged in two series: 1) Correspondence, 1891-1974, n.d.; and 2) Miscellany. The collection relates primarily to family news as reported in Mead family correspondence. Additional information on the Meads and related families, the Cockrells and Hilberts, is also included.

The correspondence, 1891-1974, n.d. of series 1 consists primarily of letters written among the Mead family. Of particular interest is a letter from Regina Mead to her parents in which she described the aftermath of the March 23, 1913 Omaha tornado. Frank Mead's letters to his parents, 1918, describe his military training at Ft. Riley, Kansas and Camp Sheridan, Illinois. Other letters in the series relate to military compensation awarded after Frank Mead's death and letters of condolence received after the death of Elbert Mead.

The miscellany of series 2 includes reminiscences about Chadron during the 1870s-1890s and the Battle of Wounded Knee, as well as a brief autobiographical sketch of Ruth Cockrell in which she describes the first graduation ceremony at Chadron State College. Certificates, programs, and legal documents are also included in this series, as well as family history items and materials on Chadron schools.

Note:  See the photo component [RG4254.PH] for related images. Additional artifacts relating to the Mead-Cockrell family are held in the collections of the Nebraska History Museum. Not all items are on display. Interested researchers should contact the Museum Collections department to schedule an appointment.

Fleischer-made burger

We tested our grass-fed beef burgers on an unsuspecting guest last night. David, a good friend from California, let us know that he was in town (and free for dinner!)–so I stopped by the store on the way home to pick up some condiments and some ale brewed in the Belgian, trappist monk tradition by New York’s own Omegang brewery and Aron set about to cooking the burgers.
The burgers were definitely more juicy than those we usually make–most likely owing to their higher fat content, as we tend to opt for lean beef for everyday dinners. Aron’s skills no doubt helped, too; they were perfectly medium-rare. And the flavor was excellent, if not as pronounced as it’s been at some of our choice picks for best burger. I think it will take more to compete with the likes of Diner and Back Forty than some extra salt, but this fight aint over yet.
P.S. We sent him home with some of the cookies I baked–which he graciously accepted even after seeing me drop a full sheet of dough onto the floor. Man, what a klutz!

DIY the cult Snowy Aspen Christmas tree for under $10

By Homes|

It’s the most sought after Christmas tree in all the land, and desperate mums are turning to DIY to replicate the sold out Target ‘Snowy Aspen’ tree.

The Scandi-inspired tree, which has been causing havoc around the country and on the Target Mums Australia Facebook page as hordes of shoppers hunt for the elusive find, is a whimsical winter take on a green pine.

Instagram user @thehousethatjessbuilt shows off her Snowy Aspen

But having sold out in store and online, and with eBay sellers tripling the very reasonable $59 price tag, one clever mum has DIY’d her own Snowy Aspen using shaving cream, glue and corn flour.

Taking to Facebook, the mum detailed how she made her own flocking using a can of shaving cream, a bottle of Elmer’s White Glue and three-quarters of a cup of corn flour - all available from the supermarket for under $10.

“Mix all three ingredients together then you’ve got your ‘snow’ then, wearing gloves, rub the snow onto the individual branches of your tree, adding more or less depending on how white you’d like,” she explained alongside pics showing the tree before and after.

She adds that she used two batches of the mixture for the green tree she bought from Target, which is 180cm.

“That is dedication, you’re very clever,” one commentator wrote on the post. “I love your tree!”

Others wondered why she didn’t just use snow in a can. One commentator responded by saying the artificial snow in a can is a “disaster. It goes everywhere! And it doesn’t stick to the tree and every time we bump the tree or move it, the snow falls all over the floor.”

Some posters worried about the damp corn flour attracting mould and moths, but the original poster said the glue dries it quite well and it shouldn’t be a worry.

One commentator suggested adding glitter to the mix for an even sparkly affair.

Uploading a pic of the finished tree decked out in lights and decorations, the clever hacker said she was “absolutely in love.”

“It was all worth it, now I'm just wishing I could keep it up all year round.”

    Install Windows 10 Pro x64 on HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9

    By: JohnStutsman

    Figure 1 – HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 on static mat ready for Windows 10 pro x64 install via iLO4

    Figure 2 – This shows my Samsung 840 Pro (This will be my OS drive) set up in a single drive RAID0 in the B140i using SSA

    After manually installing Windows Server 2016 easily on HPE’s ProLiant ML30 Gen9 I was anxious to see if an install of Window 10 Pro would be just as trouble free. It was!

    Besides having Hyper-V capabilities, Windows 10 Pro, is being looked on by many as the basis of a low cost Home Server as illustrated in “Building a Windows 10 Home Server – Anniversary Update Edition”. Check out HPE’s Operating System Support Matrices for insights on the many OS’s that the ML30 Gen9 supports. But, what will work goes beyond what’s officially supported by HPE in the “Matrices”. Windows 10 Pro is not listed in the Matrices but Windows Server 2016 is and Server 2016 shares much of the code with Windows 10 Pro as does Server 2012R2 shares with Windows 8.1 pro and Server 2012 shares with Windows 8. In order to manually load Windows 10 Pro I downloaded drivers for Server 2016. The simplest procedure, for me, is to use SPP to update all the ML30 Gen9 firmware first, then use the drivers for the B140i to load Windows 10 Pro, then after Windows 10 Pro is loaded and updated use HPSUM to load all the relevant drivers and software into Windows 10 Pro.

    Like Server 2016, Windows 10 Pro has its own generic drivers that will work with the ML30 Gen9’s NIC and Video so the B140i drivers is all that’s needed to get Windows 10 Pro onto the ML30 Gen9! HPSUM run (with Administrator Privileges) will load all of the missing HPE drivers I need in one step – including the NIC’s, Video, and SSA – just to name a few.

    Step-By-Step: Windows 10 Pro on HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9

    I used iLO4 to remote into the ML30 Gen9 and began to install Windows 10 Pro x64 manually (i.e. without using IP) in the following general steps:

    Since I had just recently done steps 1-7 not long ago I skipped to 5 then did 7 through 16 below.

    1. Download Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center – Drivers & Software – the current version is 2016.10.0 (24 Oct 2016) – check also threads about SPP at HSS Forum MS Gen8
    2. Load the SPP ISO in “virtual drives” in remote desktop of iLO4
    3. Boot the ML30 Gen9 – with no drives in the ML30 Gen9 in my case – and let SPP run automatically and update all firmware – See Figure 3 below.
    4. Shut down the ML30 Gen9
    5. Next: I removed the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB that I had loaded Server 2016 on (giving me the flexibility to switch OS’s by switching SSD’s in the ML30 Gen9) and loaded another Samsung 840 Pro 256GB into drive 1 of the Icy Dock ToughArmor MB994SP-4SB-1
    6. Go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center – Drivers & Software – and download the file cp028631.exe that is the Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller Driver for 64-bit Microsoft Windows Server 2012/2016 Editions (Since Windows 10 has the same core as Server 2016 I plan to use it for manual installation of Windows 10 64-bit Pro in the ML30 Gen9 – the HPE Drivers & Software site does not have Drivers & Software for non-server OS’s) – the current version is (24 Oct 2016)
    7. Extract the files in cp028631.exe and load those into a file folder that I then attach/load in “virtual drives” of remote desktop of iLO4 (during Windows install this will be the folder I browse to so that Windows 10 can pull in the driver and see the Samsung 840 Pro )
    8. Load the Windows 10 Pro x64 ISO in “virtual drives” of remote desktop of iLO4
    9. Boot the ML30 Gen9
    10. During boot go into IP (press F10) and select SSA (Smart Storage Administrator)
    11. In SSA I set up the Samsung 840 Pro as a single drive RAID0 to be used as my OS drive – See Figure 2 earlier.
    12. Exit SSA & IP and Restart the ML30 Gen9
    13. Proceed with the normal Windows 10 Pro x64 install – During install Windows 10 will ask for location of drivers so it can see the drive(s) – in browse lead it to the location to the file folder of B140i driver(s) in the “virtual drives” C: -- if your OS drive had been previously formatted as MBR you will have to delete that so it can be formatted as GPT. See Video 1 below.
    14. After Windows 10 is installed and updated – reattach SPP ISO in remote desktop of iLO4
    15. In the Windows desktop go to the SPP ISO in File Explorer and Execute the Batch file for HPSUM (i.e. execute: launch_hpsum.bat as Administrator) – I chose “Localhost Guided Update” – Automatic Mode
    16. After running HPSUM (and rebooting) the HPE software shown in Figure 4 below was installed. Enjoy!

    Figure 3 – After running SPP’s ISO the firmware of the ML30 Gen9 is up to date.

    Video 1 – Browsing to select the file folder with B14i S2016 drivers during install of Windows 10 Pro on HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9

    Figure 4 – Software installed by HPSUM in Windows Server 2016

    Figure 5 – Temperatures in the ML30 Gen9 via iLO4. BIOS is set on optimal cooling and my single System Fan is running at 6% and the two 40mm fans on the MB994SP-4SB-1 are turned on.

    Figure 7 – Basic information showing Windows Server loaded onto my HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 running from a single SSD RAID0 in bay 1 of the Icy Dock ToughArmor MB994SP-4SB-1

    All in all Windows 10 Pro was easy to load onto the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 providing a relatively cheaper platform (compared to Windows Server 2016) for a home lab for setting up and testing applications in Hyper-V for instance.

    In the As-Built that follows I list how this ML10v2 is loaded. Be sure to check out more on this at ML10 and ML10v2 Forum and Windows 10 Pro on HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 Forum Thread.

Dawgs Look to Tame ‘Cats

Will Cousins jump or get out of the way if he is in the direct path of another Leslie flush?

Before the Kentucky Wildcats took on the Tennessee Volunteers last Saturday, Coach John Calipari made headlines with the media by stating that winning the SEC title meant “nothing” to him.  He explained that his focus is (and always has been) on getting the best seed possible for the NCAA Tournament.

I guess it didn’t mean too much to his team either, as Tennessee buried the Wildcats 74-65, leaving the door still slightly open for Vanderbilt to claim the SEC crown.

I should think that Mark Fox’s Georgia Bulldogs will have the full attention of Coach Cal’s Cats, since a loss to the Dawgs on Wednesday could leave Kentucky with a somewhat uneasy feeling about their NCAA seed status.

The good news for Kentucky is that they have only lost twice this season, and the last time they lost (at South Carolina) the ‘Cats followed it up by whipping Vanderbilt 85-72.  In fact, before losing to Tennessee last Saturday, Kentucky was riding an eight-game win streak.  Maybe the occasional loss helps to wake this young team up?

Kentucky’s roster only features one player (sophomore Darius Miller) that is not currently projected to be a lottery pick in the 2010 and 2011 NBA Drafts.  According NBA draft analysts, freshman phenoms John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins will go first and fourth, respectively, and senior forward Patrick Patterson will be taken with the tenth pick in the 2010 Draft.  In the 2011 Draft, analysts project that fellow freshman Eric Bledsoe will be taken as the fifth pick overall.

I’m sorry, but how did these guys lose two games?

Kentucky leads the SEC in the following (numerous) categories – scoring margin (+10.1), field goal percentage defense (38.5%), 3-point percentage defense (27.1%), rebounding margin (+8.0), offensive rebounds (14.9/game), defensive rebounds (27.6/game) and last but not least, conference wins (12).

Kentucky is “scary good” on defense.  The ‘Cats height (tallest roster in basketball) and superior athleticism enable them to pressure teams relentlessly.  And even more importantly, they rebound the basketball well.  Meaning, against Kentucky you get one shot and then you’re done on offense.

Calipari’s four future lottery picks are the ones that do most of the scoring on offense.

In the backcourt, Wall leads the way with 16.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists in conference games (a lot of people overlook his excellent passing game).  Bledsoe gives the ‘Cats 10.8 points and 1.6 steal a night in SEC play.

The Kentucky frontcourt features the double-headed monster that is DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson.  Both of these players are big and physical when they get the ball down on the block.

In SEC games, Cousins is averaging 17.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and shooting 54% from the field.  He is probably the front-runner for the SEC Player of the Year award (his main competition is his teammate John Wall).  His partner down low, Patrick Patterson, is scoring 13.0 points, grabbing 6.8 boards and making 53.4% of his attempts from the floor (he’s also knocking down 40.8% of his three-point tries on the season).

Sophomores Darius Miller, Darnell Dodson, DeAndre Liggins and freshman Daniel Orton are Kentucky’s “role” players.  Miller, Dodson and Liggins are all knocking down over 35% of their shots from beyond the arc this year.  At 6’10” and 255 lbs, Orton serves as another big body that Calipari can run into the game to alter shots and grab rebounds.

In the first meeting between these two teams in Lexington, Georgia surprisingly went into the half with a 35-34 lead.  However, the ‘Cats took control late in the game by feeding Cousins inside and riding his offense to the 76-68 victory (he finished with 16 points).  It is truly amazing that UGA was able to be in this game at all considering that the Dawgs turned it over 26 times!

Keys to the Game

Make Them Shoot

Bruce Pearl used several kinds of zone defenses to force Kentucky to shoot more from the outside in the Vols victory over the ‘Cats last Saturday.  In fact, many of Kentucky’s opponents these days seem to be showing them a lot of zone.  Guess what?  The ‘Cats are still shooting it.

Kentucky averages nearly 19 three-point attempts a game in SEC play, however, they only make 29.1% of them.  Earlier this week, Coach Calipari had this to say about his team facing more zone:

“It’s funny, because everybody has the ‘This is how you play them.’ Yeah, you hold your nose and close your eyes and hope we can’t make any shots. Yeah, that’s a good way to play. If we make shots — if we go 5-for-22, which stinks — we win going away.”

Calipari comes off as just a tad bit arrogant here, don’t you think?

Against Tennessee though, Cal’s squad only made 2 of 22 three-point shots.  In their past 4 games, Kentucky has made only 16 of 73 three-point attempts (22%).

The Dawgs will give themselves a much better chance at winning on Wednesday by taking Coach Pearl’s lead and showing Kentucky a lot of zone defense.

In the first game between these two teams, Georgia fouled Kentucky 25 times (Ajax, Barnes and Price all fouled out).  The ‘Cats shot 33 free throws, making 22 of them (that’s 66.7%).  On the season, Kentucky ranks 9th in the SEC in free throw percentage at 67.1%.

I would love to see Coach Fox employ the same strategy on Wednesday.  Not only does fouling force a bad FT shooting team like Kentucky to earn points at the charity stripe, but it could also frustrate the hot-headed Cousins.  DeMarcus is known for having quite the temper, and having Georgia’s bigs rough him up in the paint shouldn’t do much to keep him calm and under control.

Slow Pace

If the Dawgs can successfully run a zone and foul a lot inside, then chances are the tempo of this game should be nice and slow…which is exactly what Georgia wants.

Georgia does not want to have this game turn into a track meet, or it would be to Kentucky’s advantage.  The last thing Mark Fox (and the entire fan base at Stegeman Coliseum) wants to see is John Wall and Eric Bledsoe running up and down the court for easy dunks and lay-ups.

A large part of ensuring that this doesn’t happen will rely on the strength of Georgia’s guard play.  The Dawgs’ guards must be able to handle the Kentucky pressure and get the ball up the court.  Once the ball passes the half court line, hopefully Georgia will be able to milk at least 25 seconds off the shot clock before shooting.

Georgia has now won 4 straight games  in Athens, and they are 12-3 at the Steg on the season.

This is the last home game of the season for UGA, and thus will be Senior Night for Ricky McPhee, Albert Jackson and Tyler Whatley.

I’m so happy that Ricky McPhee decided to transfer to Georgia, and I only wish that we could have seen him play for two more years.

Albert Jackson was an instrumental part of the Dawgs 2008 SEC Tournament Championship, starting every game and averaging 7.3 points and 6.5 rebounds during that long and glorious weekend.

The game tips off Wednesday night at 8:00PM EST, and will once again be shown on the Peachtree TV channel.

I’ll be heading up to the game with some friends after work…anyone else going?

Anybody think the Dawgs can win?

  1. I’d be going if the game wasn’t sold out. This could be a barn burner. The Florida game Saturday was the best I’ve seen all year, as the Dawgs came off of an OT game 2 nights before on the road and played the rested Gators tough to the last .1 second. With rest and added confidence, I do see the Dawgs pulling the upset at home, sending fans into a frenzy that will carry over into the tourneys. That’s right… they’re going beyond the SEC tourney. In fact, they could make some noise in the NIT, especially if they get a home game or more… but, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Focus and poise, and the job gets done.

    Can’t wait to watch the game tonight on Peachtree TV. Wish I could be there. Rock the place fans… “we must protect this house!” Go Dawgs!!

    P.S. Great job on the report HoopDawg! You’re a damn fine writer, too!

  2. Decatur Dawg will be in the Steg tonight!

    Coach Calamari is such a jerk – I want to see him sweat off his hair jel as the Cats clank 3s and Big Cus gets in foul trouble.

    I think Georgia has a chance to win this one because our offense has improved so much the last few games. No doubt the #1 key is forcing them to shoot from outside.

    Look for some Senior Night magic from McPhee – 5 or more made 3s.

    Ge Dawgs!

  3. I’ll be cheering loud from the student section. Don’t quite have the resources to make the Leslie poster, but nobody will be louder than me tonight.

    1. Fair enough.

      Will you have a costume (Rocky, Peanut Butter Guy, Speedo Man, or one of the full color body suit guys)?

      If so, can you explain how you guys come up with these outfits? I think that readers would love to hear about it.

  4. Good points except we need to keep our big guys out of foul trouble, mostly Trey and Jeremy. Give up a foul insted of a sure basket, but foul hard and make sure Uk doesn’t score.

  5. Can’t wait for the tip. I’ll be there as always cheering the dawgs on. Nice preview (as always) hoopdawg. I think you did a great job this year and hope that you will continue in the years ahead.

  6. This one will be tough. If UK breaks out of their shooting slump we are in trouble. If they don’t, we can definitely win this one.

    I agree..we need to show them a lot of zone and win the battle on the glass and protect the ball. The fans need to be loud and encourage these kids. Home court means at least 5 pts. in college ball in my opinion. Of course, we need more than that but I will take the advantage.

    Let’s get a win and send Ricky and Ajax out on a great note! Go Dawgs!!

Georgia’s shrinking frontcourt

After two years in Athens, Cameron Forte has opted to leave Georgia and play his final year of collegiate basketball somewhere closer to his home of Phoenix, Arizona. According to the AJC, Forte is looking for a situation where he has a more expanded role on a team, and I am guessing that he means he wants more minutes and offensive touches.

I understand his desire to play more, especially considering that this upcoming season will be his last, but I wonder if he has a keen awareness of some of his limitations. Forte’s biggest weakest is his lack of a jump shot. Other than the baseline shot he made that won the game at Bama, I don’t recall him connecting on anything outside of a lay-up during his time at UGA. But considering Forte’s unorthodox shooting form, with his left elbow way out to the side, it’s no wonder that he struggles from the outside (he made just 56% of his free throw attempts this year).  And at 6’7″, Forte lacks the size to be the focal point inside for any respectable Division I team.

However, where Cameron succeeded was in his uncanny knack to always find himself in the right position to clean up on the offensive glass.  Other than Yante Maten, Forte averaged more offensive rebounds per minute played than anyone else on the team.  Forte was afforded the luxury of hunting down weak side rebounds because teams this year honed in on Marcus Thornton and Neme Djurisic when they touched the ball in the paint.  Next year, with Maten on the opposite block, one would have to imagine that Forte could once again clean up a lot of missed shots since the opposition will be most likely putting their best inside defender on Yante.

Georgia seems like such a good fit for a role player like Forte.

But yet I digress.  Forte is gone and Coach Mark Fox’s team must move on without him.

The question is how much will Georgia miss Forte’s minutes?  Fox now has three players to replace in his frontcourt for next season, leaving him with Yante Maten, Houston Kessler and Kenny Paul Geno as the only returning inside players with any significant playing experience.

The Dawgs have three bigs coming in as freshman – Derek Ogbeide, E’Torrion Woolridge and Michael Edwards – and they will be asked to contribute immediately considering how thin Georgia is up front (and the fact that Maten might find himself in foul trouble often with his shot blocking prowess).

Hoosier Coaches Make Last Minute Pitch to JUCO CB Marnez Ogletree

Marnez Ogletree de-committed from Boise State and the Hoosiers are on his radar

Marnez Ogletree de-committed from Boise State and the Hoosiers are on his radar

Written By Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)

This evening JUCO Football Frenzy reported that Indiana Hoosiers’ cornerback coach Brandon Shelby will be visiting Fullerton Community College’s Marnez Olgetree on Friday. The 2-star recruit had originally pledged to play at Boise State until announcing on Monday that he was de-committing from the Broncos to give his other options a look.

Olgetree most recently made a visit to the capital of Hoosier Nation on December 5, 2014 and currently holds offers from Indiana, Boise State, Fresno State, Georgia State, Hawaii, Middle Tennessee State, and recently added an offer from Utah State.

His commitment would be a welcome addition to the Hoosiers’ 2015 class as they saw the departure of starting cornerbacks Tim Bennett and Michael Hunter. Bennett had exhausted his eligibility with the Hoosiers while Hunter decided not to return for his fifth season. The Hoosiers return redshirt senior Kenny Mullen, redshirt sophomores Rashard Fant, Laray Smith, and Noel Padmore, and true sophomore Donovan Clark to the position. Fant and Clark currently appear to be the favorites to start at cornerback next fall. We will have more on this story as it develops.

UPDATE 1/21/15

Things became more serious today between the Hoosiers and junior college cornerback Marnez Ogletree, as head coach Kevin Wilson made an in-home visit with the athlete Wednesday afternoon. Wilson’s visit seems to indicate that adding a player to the defensive secondary is a priority for the Hoosiers as they finalize their 2015 class. With just two weeks left until national signing day and only four spots remaining, the Indiana coaching staff will have to balance between filling a positional need and taking the best athlete available.

For the past 20 years or so, Qassem Soleimani has commanded the Quds Force — the branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards responsible for military and clandestine operations outside of the Islamic Republic.

Soleimani is a key figure in efforts to prop up Syrian President Bashar Assad and to enable him to retake cities and towns from rebel groups during his country’s ongoing civil war. He is also responsible for providing military aid to the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza — both of which are committed to the destruction of Israel — as well as to Shia and Kurdish groups in Iraq.

Three years ago, Israel came close to assassinating Soleimani near Damascus, al-Jarida quoted unnamed source as saying, but the Americans tipped off the Iranians against the background of intense disagreement between Washington and Jerusalem.

Angry iPhone 4 Owners Sue Apple Claiming Faulty Power Button

Apple's fairly well mastered the art of planned obsolescence, whereby the company leaves out certain desirable features on new devices so that it can introduce them on a later model and entice users to upgrade (think the lack of a rear-facing camera on the original iPad), but to suggest the Cupertino outfit sells knowingly faulty products is another topic altogether. It's also the claim of a class action lawsuit filed by Debra Hilton in regards to the iPhone 4.

According to the lawsuit, Apple sold iPhone 4 models with defective power buttons to thousands of customers. Even worse, many of those affected claim their device would fail shortly after the 1-year warranty period expired, leaving them with an expensive paperweight.

"The Apple iPhone 4 is plagued by a latent defect that causes its Power Button to fail, usually shortly after the 1 year warranty covering the device has expired, thereby rendering the phone unusable," the lawsuit reads. "Apple knew when it manufactured, marketed, and sold the device that this defect existed, but failed to disclose it, instead touting the purported superior attributes of the telephone in Apple's various advertisements and marketing campaigns."

The problem supposedly relates to the shifting of a flex cable connected to the power button. If it wiggles free, users are unable to power on/off their iPhone 4, resulting in a $150 replacement fee when out of the warranty period.

Hilton and her lawyer, who are suing Apple under the RICO statute, a federal racketeering law, are seeking $5 million from the Cupertino company on behalf of thousands of affected iPhone 4 owners. You can read the full complaint on Scribd.

VIDEO // Halftime Marriage Proposal at MSG Was All Kinds of Awkward

VIDEO // Halftime Marriage Proposal at MSG Was All Kinds of Awkward

Well, that was romantic . . .

Proposing to your significant other in front of thousands of people at a live sports event is always a major gamble. If it lacks the impact you had pictured in your mind, not only will it underwhelm in general, but tens of thousands of people are well aware of your lack of romance and creativity. Case in point, Charles’ awkward proposal to girlfriend Christina at last night’s Knicks-Warriors game.

In some weird version of The Newlyweds Game, the next prompt that came on the Jumbotron at Madison Square Garden was Enes Kanter and Kristaps Pozingis holding CGI’s signs with “will you marry me?”

Touching? Maybe. Sincere? Definitely. Smooth and romantic? Probably not. She looked like she wanted to run — or she just wanted some pie.

The NBA specifically has a weird trend of marriage proposals going awry. At a Hawks game last season, a guy tried to get gown on one knee and propose to his girl before his idiot friend bumped him and lost the ring.

f your partner is a diehard sports fan, and you pull off the proposal in a never-before seen and creative way, it could make for a perfect storm of emotion and romance. If you make it as awkward as Charles did, it becomes fodder for Twitter.
