Here are some possible methods of arriving at a body count: - Everyone mentioned except Enoch and Elijah, as per Bob Jones's note - Only those mentioned of meeting an untimely end - Those mentioned as meeting an untimely end, plus reasonable assumptions about casualties on all sides in battles, famines or other events ... |
sense, the count would only be a rough estimate and the margin of error would be inestimable. From a scholarly viewpoint, the number would not be useful, as there is no other number with which to compare it. It's not like asking "how many people were killed in WWII", an historical event for which we have some reliable ... |
ask what the purpose of arriving at this number is. Here are some possibilities: - Proof that the OT outlook on life is essentially violent and retributive - Proof that despite the violent surroundings, the OT produced prophecy of high moral vision - Proof that the OT is inferior (or superior) to some other body of scr... |

hamlet of Bartow was a quaint and small collection of residences located on the mainland near City Island. The entire area -- as well as City Island -- was annexed by New York City, effective in 1896. Before then, however, |
the little area known variously as Bartow, Bartow-on-the-Sound, Bartow Station and Bartow Village became an important part of Pelham and its history. Detail of 1895 Map by Julius Bien & Co. Showing Bartow, Northwest of City Island. All that remains |
today of the little hamlet of Bartow are the remnants of a once beautiful stone train station designed by famed architect Cass Gilbert and built in 1908 to replace the little wooden station built on the branch line in the |
1870s. The station was known as Bartow station. Today the stone station is a collapsed and decrepit shell covered with vandals' graffiti. in Pelham Bay Park I have published to the Historic Pelham Blog a number of postings about the |
hamlet of Bartow and the remnants of its train station. See: Thu. March 24, 2005: The Bartow Area of Pelham in the 19th Century: Where Was It? Thu. July 21, 2005: Today's Remnants of the Bartow Station on the Branch |
Line Near City Island? This "Map of Bartow Village" shows a planned subdivision thwarted by New York City's acquisition and annexation of the lands as part of its development of Pelham Bay Park during the late 19th century. The map |
offers an interesting insight into the area. The railroad tracks cross the map from left to right in its very center. The small black rectangle at the center of the map represents the Bartow Station. A photograph of the remnants |
of that station appears above. Today's pathway leading to the remnants of the station appears to lie approximately where "Third Street" was planned in the little Village. On the Long Island Sound side of the railroad tracks, there were a |
number of streets planned to lead from today's Shore Road toward the railroad tracks: First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Streets. Third Street was the only such street planned to cross the railroad tracks. Bishop Avenue was planned for |
construction parallel to the railroad tracks on the Sound side immediately in front of the Railroad Depot. On the side of the railroad tracks away from the Long Island Sound (opposite the Railroad Depot) two streets were planned for construction |
parallel to the railroad tracks: Oak Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. Interestingly, the map seems to reflect that a number of the properties near the Railroad Depot were reserved by the Bartow Estate involved in the development of the subdivision -- |
presumably because the properties likely were among the most commercially valuable. A few others appear to have been reserved for -- or owned by -- others including J.H. Byron. Today the area sits near the Pelham Bit Stables in Pelham |
Bay Park. Rarely do those who pass even realize that a residential village once was planned where today there is little more than trees, brambles and a lovely bridle trail. |
The State of Vermont does not have a uniform occupancy standard. An occupancy standard is a law, ordinance or guideline that outlines how much space is required per person in a living unit. Some rules express the requirements in terms |
of square footage per person for specific activities such as sleeping, eating and living space. Several communities (including Burlington and Rutland) in Vermont have enacted ordinances that place restrictions on how many people can live in a dwelling. Other guidelines, |
such as HUD’s guideline (21 KB), recommends two persons per bedroom. There are exceptions to this standard; for instance, if a dwelling has two bedrooms and one bedroom is very large, it might be reasonable to allow three people to |
use the large bedroom. Occasionally there are sewage and water limitations that are placed on specific properties. These types of limitations are usually found at mobile home/trailer parks. These restrictions must be enforced consistently and must be restrictions that are |
part of the property’s conditions for receiving the required permits. Occupancy restrictions must be documented and cannot be arbitrarily used by the property owner to exclude or limit the number of children in a park or complex. FAQ – I |
am a single mother with a young child. I went to rent a one-bedroom apartment and the owner said that I could not rent it because it is not right for a child and parent to share a bedroom. Is |
that okay? No. You are the person who decides whether or not your child can sleep in the same room as you. Two persons per room is the standard. In addition, sometimes property owners don’t want to rent two-bedroom apartments |
to families with two children of the opposite sex. The property owner cannot lawfully use that as a reason to turn a family down. FAQ - I rent properties to students. I have known students to cram six people into |
what I consider a four person unit. Do I have to allow this? Check your local ordinances to see if there are any occupancy restrictions. If there are no such ordinances, then reasonableness is the standard. If it is a |
unit that only has two bedrooms and none of the bedrooms are abnormally large then it would probably be reasonable to restrict occupancy to four people. If, on the other hand, the bedrooms are extremely large and could easily accommodate |
three persons, then your restriction may not be reasonable. Conversely, if a dwelling has two bedrooms and one of the bedrooms is very small, it might be reasonable to limit occupancy of the dwelling to three persons. |
Appeal to the Australian Government to Ratify the United Nations Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (The Migrant Workers Convention) |
International Migrants Day – 18 December 2011 The Migrant Workers Convention is one of the nine core United Nations human rights treaties. It has been ratified by 45 countries. On |
this 21st anniversary of the signing of this Convention and eight years after it entered into force, we join in the civil society appeal to Australia to ratify the Convention |
and to be become a leader advocating for the protection of human rights of those who work outside their country of origin. The Convention upholds what is already obvious: that |
the rights of migrants and their families are human rights. Australia and Ratification of the Convention The Australian government has stated that its laws are already consistent with the standards |
of the Convention. Australia’s voice and leadership on this issue will make a difference for migrants everywhere and will reinforce the efforts of those in Australia working to ensure these |
commonly accepted employment standards are upheld. Australia has been one of the greatest migrant receiving countries in history, and the modern Australian community has come into being through generations of |
migration. In 2010 Australia was home to 6 million migrants born in over 200 countries of the world. The country has strived for a high standard in the inclusion accorded |
to new arrivals, and to ensure that they become part of its community. The Convention will help Australia to advance this high standard into the future as the world responds |
to the globalisation of labour. Ratification will complement existing government efforts to address the exploitation of migrant workers that occurs via clandestine labour movements and labour trafficking. Conditions Faced by |
Migrant Workers Around the World It is intolerable that an individual working far from home should be kept in virtual slavery. It is unacceptable that a worker should be denied |
the rightful wages they have earned, simply because they are working outside their country of birth. Women or men carrying out the work of caring for the homes of their |
employer, should not be denied their human dignity and such work should not be denied the respect it deserves. Farm workers who tend to the crops and collect the produce |
that feeds the world, are entitled to expect that society will uphold their human rights. All workers are entitled to a safe place of work. All migrant workers and their |
families are entitled to the equal protection of the law which is their fundamental human right. These are some of the conditions that the Convention addresses. Appeal to Australia Australia |
has been a strong and clear voice in international forums for international human rights standards. Its voice has been raised for the rights of women, for children, against torture, against |
racism, for civil and political rights, and for economic, social and cultural rights. By ratifying the Convention, Australia can play a leading role in our region and support neighbouring nations |
to end the exploitation of migrants. We appeal to Australia to ratify and to stand as a strong advocate for these human rights in international forums in which it participates. |
Supporting Your Student While Letting Go The college years can be exciting and stressful for both you and your child. Exciting, because your child will be learning to live independently, |
and this allows both of you to explore other parts of your lives. Stressful, because this means that your relationship will change. Some find this process enjoyable; others do not. |
In order for this transition to be as productive as possible, you will need to be patient, understanding, supportive, and clear and reasonable about your expectations. Listed below are some |
tips you might find helpful during this process. - Rule #1: Don’t ask if he is homesick. While it is true that many students miss being at home, most are |
so busy in the first weeks of school that they do just fine, as long as nothing reminds them about being away from home. Even if he never brings it |
up, you can rest assured that he does miss you. If your student is really homesick, encourage him to stick it out for one semester. - Rule #2: Write, even |
if she doesn't write back. Your student will be exploring and enjoying her independence and this is necessary for her development. Even so, she will want to keep her family |
ties, as well as the security those ties bring. It’s nice for her to receive things in the mail (and depressing when the box is empty). Still, she may not |
respond for some time. Don’t interpret silence as rejection. - Rule #3: Ask questions (but not too many). First-year students tend to resent interference with their newfound lifestyles, but most |
still want to know that someone is still interested in them. Parental curiosity can be experienced as supportive or alienating, depending on the attitudes of the people involved. Honest inquiries |
that further the parent bond are welcomed. Pulling rank, “I have a right to know” questions, and hidden agendas should be avoided. - Rule #4: Expect change (but not too |
much). It is natural and inevitable that your student will change over the course of his time here. For some, this change is gradual. For others, it is quick and |
dramatic. This can be quite stressful for all involved. It helps to remember that young adults should be forming their own identities, and that it is counterproductive to try and |
stop them from doing so. While you may never understand the changes in your child's social, vocational, and personal choices that may occur in college, it is within your power |
to accept them. Maturation can be a slow and painful learning process. Please be patient. - Rule #5: Don’t worry excessively about moody behavior. You might find parenting during the |
college years to be pretty thankless. Your student may sometimes feel overwhelmed with all that is happening, and she might turn to you in distress. Conversely, you may rarely hear |
from her when things are going well. You are serving as a “touchstone” for your student, someone she can turn to when she feels the need. Regardless of what she |
might say, this is valuable to her. If your student’s “bad mood” seems persistent and you have concerns about it, call the Office of Student Health Services to discuss it |
further. - Rule #6: Visit (but not too often). Whether they admit it or not, students usually appreciate visits from their parents. This gives them a chance to connect to |
both of their “worlds” at once. “Surprise” visits are usually not appreciated because they can feel disrespectful. It is better to wait for planned visits, such as the Family Weekend |
opportunity. After that, arrange times that are convenient for you and your student. When you do visit, treat your child to a meal away from the dining hall or offer |
to do the laundry. Your visits will be eagerly anticipated! - Rule #7: Avoid the “These are the best years of your life” speech. The college years are full of |
discovery, inspiration, good times and friends. But they are also marked by indecision, insecurity, disappointment, and mistakes. In all probability your student will learn that college is much more challenging, |
in every way, than he imagined. Parents who think that college students “have it made,” and that they should always perform well and be worry-free are wrong. Those who accept |
the highs and lows are providing the kind of support students need most. - Rule #8: Trust your student. Finding oneself is a difficult enough process without feeling like the |
people whose opinions you respect most are second-guessing your own second-guessing. One mother wrote her son during his senior year: “I love you and want for you all the things |
that make you happiest: and I guess you, not I, are the one who knows best what those things are.” If you’re smart, you’ll believe it, mean it, and say |
Scene Recognition System The passion of developers who transcend the barriers of the workplace and debate from every possible angle in pursuit of an even better technology The Scene Recognition System is a completely new technology. We have heard that the development process was fraught with various difficulties. “To a... |

When the mirror is down, light is read by the sensor, and the instant the mirror goes up, calculation results are fed back, and when the shutter is pressed, the camera has to finish all the work.

I see. So, calculations are necessary for every movement of the camera? “Exactly. It's extremely difficult to get the hardware and the data obtained in simulations to work together. We don't have much difficulty making simulations on the computer, but we had a very hard time getting the actual mechanism to work based o... |
instance, subject tracking information and AF need to link up and work together, but it didn't work at all at the beginning. We thought we had debugged the program and got the calculations perfect, too, but there were so many unknowns in this pioneering technology, it took a long while for us to make it work. We tested... |

It is an admirable testimony to the interest and passion all the developers had for this new technology. “I think it really was thanks to the efforts of so many people that we were able to do this.

from the original idea to the final specifications we decided on. There were so many things we couldn't know just through experiments on the desk.
