Mahpiya Ska (Sioux language) or White Cloud is an albino female buffalo residing at the National Buffalo Museum and Cultural Center located in Jamestown, North Dakota. She is currently on loan to the museum and the project caring for her is funded by the City of Jamestown North Dakota for approximately $10,000 per year. She has been certified a true Albino American Bison.
White Cloud, like most albino buffalo, is almost totally deaf and has limited vision and joined the herd located at the museum in 1997. She has already given birth to several calves, although none of them are pure white. Native Americans from all over America perform sacred pilgrimages to visit her. She is allowed to roam freely within a several hundred acre expanse of the museum grounds.
The fence outside of her compound in Jamestown is tied with hundreds of prayer and ribbon bundles from Native Americans who travel thousands of miles to offer prayers and receive blessings.
According to “Buffalo Tales”, the newsletter of the North Dakota Buffalo Foundation and the National Buffalo Museum, White Cloud had a white calf on August 31, 2007. According to the newsletter and the museum’s website this was White Cloud’s first white calf. Museum officials determined that the calf is a male, but it would not be named until January 2008. The museum is solicited suggestions from the public for a name for the calf until November 30, 2007. Finally, the name Dakota Miracle was decided on. While Dakota Miracle is white, he is not albino like his mother.
White Cloud was born on July 10, 1996 on the Shirek Buffalo Farm in Michigan, North Dakota. She was DNA tested for albino genes and cattle genes before she went to the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown, North Dakota in May 1997. The results of those tests indicate that she is pure albino and also pure bison (commonly known as buffalo.) It is not known for sure whether or not White Cloud’s white calf is also a true albino. The white calf was produced when White Cloud mated with her first male calf, a normally brown-colored bison.

(Redirected from Indian Water therapy)
Jump to: navigation, search
Water therapy is the use of water to improve health.
According to alternative medicine advocates, one form of water therapy is the consuming of a gutful of water upon waking in order to “cleanse the bowel”. A litre to a litre and half is the common amount ingested. This water therapy, also known as Indian or Chinese Water Therapy, is claimed to have a wide range of health benefits; or at least no adverse effects. While ingesting about a litre and a half of water is usually harmless, this is approaching the level which can lead to water intoxication, an urgent and dangerous medical condition. Advocates of water therapy claim that application of water therapy at first will cause multiple bowel movements until the body adjusts to the increased amount of fluid.

Patriotic display of the Flag of the United States for the 2008 presidential election.
The society of the United States in spite of being multi-ethnic and multi-cultural still has a sense of national identity and history; those who live in or are from the United States refer to an “American people”, and patriotism is prominent in public life.
Nationalism is the correct and recognized term for the associated ideology and political movements, within the present United States, and during its history.
Benjamin Franklin’s Join, or Die cartoon supporting the Albany Plan
The United States traces its origins all the way back to colonies founded by the Kingdom of England in the early 1600s. Each colony was independently governed and was under the authority of the Crown; a colonist had no duty to colonies other than their own. By 1732, the Kingdom of Great Britain had 13 colonies established in British America. When the colonies faced a common threat during the French and Indian War, the Albany Plan proposed a union between the colonies. Although unsuccessful, it served as a reference for future discussions of independence.
Soon after, the colonies faced several common grievances over acts passed by the British Parliament, including taxation without representation. As the dispute escalated, colonists started to view the British rule as oppressive and hostile, and sought cooperation with other colonies in response. This cooperation led to the Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolutionary War, and ultimately independence. Ties between the states strengthened with the ratification of the United States Constitution.
Post Civil War
The American Civil War marked the greatest transition in American national identity. The ratification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments settled the basic question of national identity: Who was a citizen of the United States? Under the amendments, anyone born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction was a citizen, regardless of ethnicity or social status. However, Native Americans were not to gain citizenship under these amendments. In 1919 all Natives who had served in the military were granted full citizenship but the rest of the Native Americans were not included as citizens until 1924 when the Indian Citizenship Act was passed by Congress.
Nationalism in the contemporary United States
Nationalism remains a topic in the modern United States. Rutgers University professor Paul McCartney, for instance, argues that as a nation defined by a creed and sense of mission, Americans tend to equate their interests with those of humanity, which in turn informs their global posture. Talk show host Michael Savage has declared himself to be a nationalist, and advocates a policy of “Borders, Language and Culture,” including securing the US-Mexico and US-Canada borders, preserving English as the primary language in the United States, and emphasizing a conservative or libertarian cultural identity. Nationalists in the contemporary United States are usually associated with venerating the American flag, the Constitution, military and cultural roots of America, however, nationalism in America has never been easily defined.
Post-2001 nationalism in the United States
The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States led to a wave of nationalist expression. This was accompanied by a rise in military enlistment that included not only lower-income Americans, but also middle-class and upper-income citizens.

Customer acquisition management is a term used to describe the methodologies and systems to manage customer prospects and inquiries, generally generated by a variety of marketing techniques. It can be considered the connectivity between advertising and customer relationship management. This critical connectivity facilitates the acquisition of targeted customers, in the most effective fashion.
Customer acquisition management has many similarities to lead management. Sometimes missing from lead management definitions, but always included in customer acquisition management, is a closed loop reporting system. Such a reporting system typically allows the organization to quantify the effectiveness of results of various promotional activities. This allows organizations to realize continuous improvements in both promotional activities and customer acquisition systems.
Customer acquisition management also often includes theoriginal response to a prospect immediately after their inquiry. This response could come in many forms – a personalized fulfillment letter and brochure, an e-mail responses or a telephone call. In each case the initial response is targeted to further the interest of the prospect and simplify the initial sales call for the sales channel.
Like lead management, customer acquisition management creates an orderly architecture for managing large volumes of customer inquiries, or leads. The architecture must be able to organize numerous leads, at various stages of a sales process, across a distributed sales force. In order to understand this process it is helpful to examine a simplified linear lead flow process, such as the following:
Advertising and CRM
Customer inquiry or response
Inquiry captured
Inquiry filtered
Lead graded and prioritized
Lead distribution
Sales contact
Lead nurturing or retention
Sales result
Analysis of promotions effectiveness.
The lead flow process can become enormously complex as customers and sales professionals begin to interact. These various interactions and subsequent actions can create a variety of scenarios, both productive and counterproductive. This exponential number of scenarios can provide for numerous opportunities to mishandle leads in such a way as to reduce their value. Managing these scenarios is the function of lead management.

Geography
Bryson City is located at 35°25?37?N83°26?52?W? / ?35.42694°N 83.44778°W? / 35.42694; -83.44778 (35.426982, -83.447681), just west of the confluence of the Tuckasegee River, which flows westward from its source in the mountains to the east, and Deep Creek, which flows south from its source near Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains. After passing through Bryson City, the Tuckasegee flows southwestward for another 12 miles (19 km) before emptying into the Little Tennessee River. Fontana Lake, an impoundment of the Little Tennessee, covers the lower 11 miles (18 km) of the Tuckasegee.
The town is surrounded on all sides by high mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains rise to the north, the Cowee Mountains rise to the south, and the Plott Balsams rise to the east. The boundary of the Nantahala National Forest passes just south of the city and the boundary of the Great SmokyMountains National Park passes just to the north. The Qualla Boundary, which comprises the bulk of the reservation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, dominates the area to the east.
Bryson City is traditionally centered around the junction of Everett Street and Main Street. Main Street is part of U.S. Route 19, which connects Bryson City to Cherokee to the northeast and Murphy to the southwest.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.2 square miles (5.8 km²), of which, 2.1 square miles (5.5 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km²) of it (5.33%) is water.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,411 people, 588 households, and 323 families residing in the town. The population density was 663.5 people per square mile (255.8/km²). There were 713 housing units at an average density of 335.3/sq mi (129.2/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 90.93% White, 1.98% African American, 4.96% Native American, 0.35% Asian, 0.64% from other races, and 1.13% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.70% of the population.
The Tuckasegee River
There were 588 households out of which 21.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 38.1% were married couples living together, 12.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 44.9% were non-families. 41.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 20.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.09 and the average family size was 2.78.
In the town the population was spread out with 17.6% under the age of 18, 5.9% from 18 to 24, 24.9% from 25 to 44, 24.5% from 45 to 64, and 27.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 77.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 78.2 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $23,232, and the median income for a family was $31,875. Males had a median income of $26,528 versus $19,833 for females. The per capita income for the town was $14,446. About 14.8% of families and 19.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 25.4% of those under age 18 and 21.0% of those age 65 or over.
History
Native Americans have been living and hunting in the vicinity of what is now Bryson City for nearly 14,000 years. The village of Kituhwa, which the Cherokee believed to be their oldest village, was located along the Tuckasegee immediately upstream from Bryson City. In 1567, an orata (minor chief) from Kituhwa is believed to have met with Spanish explorer Juan Pardo in the French Broad Valley to the north. Although Kituhwa was burned by American soldiers in 1776, the Cherokee continued to hold annual ceremonial dances at the site throughout the 19th century.
Everett Street
Around 1818, a Cherokee chief known as Big Bear received a 640-acre (2.6 km2) reservation of land immediately west of the confluence of Deep Creek and the Tuckasegee River, which included most of what is now Bryson City. Big Bear sold part of his reservation to Darling Belk in 1819 and another part to John B. Love in 1824. Throughout the 1830s, Belk’s heirs and Love fought an extended legal battle over control of the Big Bear reservation, with Love finally prevailing in 1840. The following year, Love sold part of the land to James and Diana Shular. The Shulars, in turn, sold off parts of their land to Colonel Thaddeus Bryson and merchant Alfred Cline. A small hamlet known as Bear Springs developed amidst what was once Big Bear’s reservation.
Swain County was formed from parts of Jackson County and Macon County in 1871, and the new commissioners first met at Cline’s store (now operated by Cline’s widow, Lucy Ann) at Bear Springs. Lucy Ann Cline agreed to sell several lots of her land for the formation of a county seat for the new county. The county seat, initially known as Charleston, was laid out in a T-shape formed by what is now Main Street and Everett Street (the latter street was named for the county’s first sheriff, Epp Everett). The first Swain County Courthouse was completed in 1874. In 1872, shortly after the completion of the new jail, a legendary jailbreak occurred at the Swain County jail when a gang led by Harvey Cooper stormed the jail and freed Tom Colvert, whom they deemed unjustly imprisoned for killing a rival at a saloon in Robbinsville.
In 1889, the people of Charleston changed the city’s name to “Bryson City” to acknowledge the many services rendered to the city by Thaddeus Bryson and to eliminate the confusion brought about by sharing a name with Charleston, South Carolina. The Western North Carolina Railroad laid tracks through Bryson City in 1884, greatly easing transportation to the previously-remote area. The Bryson City Bank opened in 1904 and the current Swain County Courthouse was completed in 1908.
Bryson City today
Great Smoky Mountain Railroad depot
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which opened in 1933, provides a major source of revenue for Swain County. Horace Kephart, an author and outdoors enthusiast who operated out of Bryson City for several years, was a key early proponent for the creation of the park. The Deep Creek section of the park, which is immediately north of Bryson City, is home to a large campground and multiple trailheads. The park’s main eastern entrance is located just a few miles east of Bryson City at Cherokee. Cherokee is also home to the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The completion of Fontana Dam in 1944 inundated the only highway connecting Bryson City with the remote area of the Smokies known as the North Shore. The U.S. government began constructing a new highway in 1948, although work on this highway (known as Lakeview Drive) was embarrassingly slow. By 1972, only 7 miles (11 km) had been completed. Environmental and financial issues stalled the project, and the road became known to locals as “The Road to Nowhere”. In 2007, the National Park Service deemed the road’s construction to be in violation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s general management plan, and began working with Swain County to find an alternative.
The increasing popularity of the automobile led to a decline in railroad transportation, and Southern Railway (who had replaced the Western North Carolina Railroad) dropped passenger service in 1948. After Norfolk Southern ended freight traffic on the railroad in 1985, the state of North Carolina purchased the tracks. In 1988, a scenic line known as the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad was established with its depot and departure point in Bryson City.

The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is an entity established by Major League Baseball’s Cincinnati Reds franchise that pays homage to the team’s past through displays, photographs and multimedia.
Currently, the Hall of Fame section is home to 75 inductees, which includes players, managers, announcers, executives, and other contributors to the Reds legacy, which dates back to 1869, the year the Reds were founded. They are Major League Baseball’s oldest team. The induction class of 2006 are former pitchers Tom Browning and Tom Seaver and first baseman Lee May.
The Hall of Fame existed only in theory from 1958 to 2002 despite several attempts to create one. However, with the opening of Great American Ball Park in 2003, a physical facility became reality. It’s located on the west side of the park on Main Street and comprises two floors. It’s partially on the site of the Reds former home, Riverfront Stadium.
The Hall recently opened a Pete Rose Exhibit, focusing on the playing career of baseball’s all time hits leader, currently under a lifetime ban from baseball. Artifacts include: the bat and ball from hit 4192; balls from hits leading up to 4192; artifacts from the Crosley and Riverfront/Cinergy years; gloves that Pete wore playing outfield, 2nd base, 3rd base, and 1st base; a uniform shirt from Pete’s High School (Western Hills - also the alma mater of major leaguers Don Zimmer, Eddie Brinkman, Russ Nixon, and others); baseball cards from Pete’s career; Sports Illustrated covers of Pete; the “wall of balls” representing all 4256 of Pete’s hits; and other items. In 2009 The Museum launched it’s Crosley field exhibit honoring the teams former ballpark.
Common misconceptions about the hall:
It’s free or discounted with a game ticket. There are no Discounts for game tickets.
The hall of fame closes after the season. The museum is open year round.

Matonabbee (c. 1737-1782) was a Chipewyan hunter and leader. He traveled with Chief Akaitcho’s older brother, Keskarrah. After his father died, Matonabbee spent some time living at Fort Prince of Wales where he learned to speak English.
He acted as a guide for Samuel Hearne during his exploration from 1770 to 1772. On July 14, 1771, on Arctic overland journey, he and his tribe massacred a group of over 20 unsuspecting Inuit; this would be known as the Bloody Falls Massacre.
After the death of many Chipewyans during a smallpox epidemic of 1782 and the defeat of Fort Prince of Wales by the French, Matonabbee became depressed after the destruction of the Churchill Factory 1782, which had been the primary source of his fortune and fame. He had been the main middleman between the various tribes of the Cree and the Hudson’s Bay Company. He then committed suicide by hanging himself, thus being the earliest record of a Northern Indian to kill himself.
