BRKN RBTZ (Broken Robotz) - TONIGHT
|In Promo, new music
|By Ivan Orr
There are definitely moments when you realize that you have not been talking to the walls, but that you have been a part of a collective of like minded individuals (who may or may not know of one another) who when they here the commotion going on outside they recognize that someone has been listening to their collective lament. I didn’t need any other proof of this phenomenon than the sound of BRKN RBTZ.
Sons of Brian McKnight: Brian McKnight Jr. and Niko McKnight along with David Abrams Fabian Egger Will Wu describe their sound as “Rock meets Pop with a Soul edge.” No doubt about it. Hearing music crafted in this manner literally makes this old guy excited about music again.
Acts have been focusing so much on production they forgot one crucial element: The Song and within that song the most compelling element which is the melody. BRKN RBTZ is the antithesis of that approach, The Song rules the day and Melody is King. Now when it comes to production BRKN RBTZ has truly impressed me with their ability to encompass so many styles and yet meld them into their own distinct voice. I believe this is the sound a lot of us have been waiting for: a sound that represents the best of what Pop, Rock and Soul has to offer and reserves a proper place at the table for the song.

World China Welcomes Currency Decision Ahead of Trade Deal With U.S.
China Welcomes Currency Decision Ahead of Trade Deal With U.S.
BEIJING (AP) -
The container port in Qingdao, China, Tuesday. (Chinatopix Via AP)
China on Tuesday welcomed a U.S. decision ahead of the signing of a trade deal with Beijing to drop it from a list of governments accused of manipulating the value of their currencies to gain an unfair advantage in trade.
Just two days ahead of the planned signing of the interim agreement meant to help resolve a tariff war over Chinese technology and trade, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Beijing had made “enforceable commitments to refrain from competitive devaluation.”
A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, repeated an official promise not to devalue China’s yuan as a weapon in trade disputes and said Beijing was committed to reforming its currency and foreign exchange rules to keep the yuan at a “reasonable and balanced level.”
“China has never been a currency manipulator. The latest conclusion of the U.S. side is in line with the facts and the consensus of the international community,” Geng said.
Earlier Tuesday, the government reported that China’s global exports ended 2019 up 0.5% despite the tariff war with Washington.
Exports to the United States fell 12.5% compared with 2018 to $418.5 billion following President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes on Chinese goods, customs data showed Tuesday. December sales to the U.S. market contracted 14.5% from a year earlier to $34.4 billion, despite the interim agreement and conciliatory comments by both sides.
Still, the impact of President Trump’s tariff hikes in a fight over Beijing’s technology ambitions and trade surplus has been smaller than forecasters expected. U.S. exports to China have fallen.
Famously resilient Chinese exporters have pursued other markets, stepping up sales to Asia, Europe and Africa. China reported double-digit gains in 2019 exports to France, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Southeast Asia.
Global exports rose 7.8% in December over a year earlier to $237.7 billion, rebounding from a 1.1% contraction in November. Imports surged 16.3% to $190.9 billion.
Imports from the United States in 2019 fell 20.9% from a year earlier to $122.7 billion, despite Beijing’s December decision to lift punitive duties on soybeans — the biggest American export to China.
Investors hope the preliminary agreement due to be signed this week in Washington will be a step toward ending the dispute threatening global economic growth.
“Slow global trade will continue to challenge China’s external outlook in the near term. But the ‘Phase 1’ trade deal with the U.S. will have a favorable impact,” said Tommy Wu of Oxford Economics in a report.
Under the deal, Washington postponed planned tariff hikes and Beijing agreed to buy more American farm exports. Economists warn the agreement fails to address contentious disputes that might take years to resolve.
“The risk of relations deteriorating again and tariffs ‘snapping back’ is substantial against a background of tension and mistrust,” Wu said.
Forecasters cautioned that December’s numbers were less rosy than they appeared because they benefit from the “base effect” of comparison with 2018’s anemic trade, which was depressed by the trade war.
December marked the first month since July with positive Chinese trade growth.
The decision to lift punitive duties on U.S. soybeans and meat would help to ease the strain on Chinese consumers and farmers.
“In December, imports of U.S. soybeans and meat increased significantly,” said Zou Zhiwu, deputy director-general of the General Administration of Customs, at a news conference.
Zou said imports of American-made autos, another product targeted for punitive tariffs that later were lifted, rose 50% to 23,000 vehicles.
Exports to the European Union rose 6.6% to $40.1 billion.

Art ReviewsSOUTH FLORIDA
ART REVIEW: Leyla Cárdenas Opens New Chapter with Construction Debris
March 20, 2017 by Elisa Turner Art Reviews, Contemporary Art, Installation, Miami, Reviews, SOUTH FLORIDA
Recalling frail newsprint or smudged drawings, much of the photographic imagery in the current show at Dimension Variable's new space perplexes and challenges. Initially the doubled photographic images are tough to decipher. Similarly striking are sculptural works composed of tattered scraps of drywall. With a peculiar, restless grace, they've been assembled from construction debris gathered in this art space.
It's a show still shaking off dusty memories of demolition and renovation, but in a meditative way. Could it be that past memories run headlong into the present? The title "Vice Versa" suggests the mirroring effect created in the photographic works, in which an image is presented side-by-side with its exact copy in reverse.
"Vice Versa," a site-specific exhibit by Bogotá-based artist Leyla Cárdenas, opens a challenging new chapter for the edgy, non-profit artist-run space Dimensions Variable, established in Miami in 2009. Founding co-directors are artists Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova and Frances Trombly.

After inhabiting a space in the Design District and in a building farther south near Pérez Art Museum Miami, Dimensions Variable has moved yet again, to the downtown Frances Wolfson campus of Miami Dade College. DV has an eight-year lease and a commitment to provide educational programming with its exhibits.
When I visited the space in February 2017, Rodriguez-Casanova told me that Cárdenas was the "perfect" artist to create the first, truly inaugural exhibit. (A group show including Cárdenas was presented in late 2016, timed to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach.) "We wanted to celebrate the history of the place. We knew she was this kind of urban architectural archeologist," he said. "She delves into the history of the architecture, digs into the layers of the wall."
Detail of "Backwards" by Leyla Cárdenas, 2017. Courtesy of Dimensions Variable.
Added Trombly: "It's also a fresh perspective. Someone coming here from the outside will have a new view."
That new view is laden with reminders of the old, in which Miami history plays a dominant role. To prepare for this exhibit, Cárdenas researched archives of local institutions, including online archives of The Miami Herald, explained Rodriguez-Casanova. She encountered imagery evoking a wealth of information about the growth of the college and this subtropical city, perched at the edge of the Caribbean.
Formerly known as Dade County Junior College when it was founded in 1959, Miami Dade College now has the largest undergraduate enrollment of any college or university in this country. Its student body is the most diverse, a fact reflected throughout the college art programs.
With exacting attention to subtle detail, Cárdenas ingeniously inserts the history of this relatively modest, 3,000-square foot Miami Dade College art space into Miami's ongoing history.
More than 30 years of exhibits have been presented in the art gallery on this campus, recently known as the Centre Gallery, the predecessor to DV. Many of those past exhibits speak to the evolving cross-cultural identity of Miami.
Cárdenas pays homage to one of those previous exhibits in Stratum. It's a slim, horizontal band of splintered, pastel-flecked paint peeled from the gallery's baseboards. Mounted across the midsection of two adjacent gallery walls, the work is a notable cultural artifact for this city, loaded with more resonance than one might expect from the minimalist, austere form.

Stratum incorporates the rescued, sculptural residue of the gallery as it was painted in 1999 for an exhibit by Chilean-born Eugenia Vargas. With such a provenance of sorts, Stratum is a cultural residue of Miami's own art history. A Miami resident at the time who now lives and works in Chile, Vargas was residing in Miami when she represented her native country in the Latin American section of the 2003 Venice Biennial.
Intentionally or not, Cárdenas opens the door to other creative investigations of how past history of this college gallery can overlap and interact with the present.
The Cuban-born artist Carlos Alfonzo (1950-1991), who fled Cuba in 1980 during the Mariel Boatlift to Florida, had one of his first solo shows in this country in 1988 at what was then called Frances Wolfson Art Gallery of Miami-Dade Community College. In 1991, he was one of 101 artists whose work was included in the Whitney Biennial in New York.
Widely revered and remembered in Miami, and in general by collectors and scholars of contemporary Latin American art, Alfonzo's painting can once again be seen at the Whitney Museum of American Art, in the current show, described here, "Fast Forward: Painting from the 1980s."
In "Vice Versa" at DV, Some other beginning's end is perhaps the most prominent work. It's a photographic transfer recording the demolition of the city's Pacific Building, which was grandly constructed during the 1920s real estate boom. Some five decades later, the building had seriously decayed. In 1970 it was demolished to make room for the Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College.
"Some other beginning's end" by Leyla Cárdenas, 2017. Site specific photographic transfer. Courtesy of Dimensions Variable.
Cárdenas amplifies the effect of the skeletal, collapsing architectural remains in two ways: by creating doubled, mirrored images for her photographic transfer, and by stripping away a ribbon of paper from each image. Each "ribbon" dangles awkwardly, evoking the vertiginous sense of ongoing destruction, continually paving the way for a new phase, one that will surely morph into yet another demise and rebirth.
Detail of "Some other beginning's end" by Leyla Cárdenas, 2017. Site specific photographic transfer. Courtesy of Dimensions Variable.
This is a galvanizing scene for the entire selection of 23 works here, as the history it revisits is implicit throughout the highly site-specific "Vice Versa."
Some other beginning's end will remain once the show concludes. It will be painted over, sealed into the history of this space, perhaps discovered again during another investigation into the past.
Unspooling more scenes of demolition related to the Pacific Building, the artist's Backwards series presents 18 mirrored photographic transfer images. Each is delicately transferred to lightly bent shards of paint peeled from walls of the gallery during its transformation into the current DV. With edges that look as friable as leftover slices of wedding cake, the paint shards offer a destabilizing context for these disorienting images, so thoroughly imbued with a tenuous "Through the Looking Glass" spirit themselves.
Discovering how the past is echoed in the present is, Cárdenas reminds us, a timeless, ongoing effort, ever likely to confound and surprise.
BASIC FACTS: "Vice Versa—Leyla Cárdenas" is on view February 4 to March 31, 2017 at Dimensions Variable, 300 NE Avenue, MDC Building 1, 3rd Floor, Miami FL 33132. www.dimensionsvariable.net

How To Say Hello
Have you ever woken up suddenly speaking a new language?
pledged of £2,800
By Lillian de la Rie
This project received pledges on Sun 08 Apr 2018
HOW TO SAY HELLO tells the short story of twenty year old Olivia, who after suffering a head trauma in Amsterdam whilst on holiday, wakes up to discover she has become the victim of a rare affliction called Aphasia. Specifically, she has the form of Aphasia whereby she has not only lost her speech function and understanding of her native language, English, but also that she has picked up an almost fluent understanding of the last language she heard, Dutch. Olivia's struggle to come to terms with the condition is felt just as strongly through her single father, Trevor. She comes to realise that there is no need for conversation when communicating with Trevor.
With your help, £400 pounds will ensure that telling this story for our short graduation film can be made possible, covering flight and accommodation costs for actors in Amsterdam. By reaching our goal, we can explore abstract ways in which we aim to recreate this peculiar condition and allow the audience to experience aphasia alongside Olivia.
We have gathered a group of talented and hard working individuals to complete our undergraduate final project. Co-directed by Charlotte Davies and Lillian de la Rie, who having already directed alongside each other in the past, have found a good collaborative working method when combining each others differing skills. Written by Caleb McGrath, who has turned initial online research of a few personal experiences with this form of aphasia, into a captivating and heart warming short story.
After coming across this rarely told form of Aphasia, we as filmmakers saw an opportunity to create something that could be visually stunning, whilst telling a unique story. With a social realistic and comedic undertone, we will play around with cinematography and sound design in order to recreate Olivia's experiences in a heavily stylised way, as shown in our inspiration-reel.
What are you doing and why?
Writing HOW TO SAY HELLO has been a challenge to write due to the peculiarity of the subject and we are proud to present a finished piece that not only educates but can also move its audience. Therefor the strive to do this script justice and bringing it to life is incredibly important to us as a group.
As this is our final film at Kingston University, each crew member is fully devoted to putting their all into the project in order to enter the film industry as confidently as we can.
By donating to our film, you are helping us create a beautiful and captivating short film, that we feel each individual could relate to.
Where will the money go?
If we were to raise our minimum, we could earn back half of the travel and accommodation costs for the actors to go to the Netherlands.
If we were to reach our target, we can pay our talented actors a fair wage, as well as dress our sets as we envision them. We would be able to cover the costs for crew to travel to Amsterdam, and also hire out a desired camera of high quality.
If we were to be so lucky as to raise beyond our target, we would pay our actors the wage we believe they deserve. We would also have the opportunity to hire out more advanced tech in order to achieve a better quality film, much like the movies we are inspired by.
We will deliver updates every week.
A breakdown of costs:
Actor Travel and Accommodation costs (roughly): £400
Crew travel costs: £1000
Actor wage: £400
Costume: £100
Food expenses: £150
Reward costs: £50
Camera: £300
Festival Submissions: £250
By helping us fund our film, you are allowing us to finally create the film we have been working towards for a long time, without putting us out of pocket. Extra funds would be fairly spread amongst the cast and crew.
Each contributor would be credited as an executive producer at the end of the credit roll.
Contributors will receive updates every two weeks as well as a link to the final product.
Contributors will also receive printed photographs of the crew at work on set.

The facts behind the cars you love
November 3, 2017 History, HubNut Blog, Project Invacar 11 Comments
The Invacar Story – I bought two!
Those who follow me on social media will already be aware that I have purchased a pair of Invacars. This is a hugely exciting development! This pair are actually part of a stash, that was advertised online. A friend first made me aware of them, and he was even good enough to visit the site and pick a couple out for me. He was going to have them himself, but it turns out he’s more sensible than I am, so he had second thoughts. Anyway, I’m very grateful for his efforts. Thanks Marc!
Via Marc and the owner, we managed to sort the deal out, and on Thursday, I actually got to visit the field of dreams. It was absolutely remarkable!
Comparisons. Lexus meets Invacars. The fog just adds to the unreal feel!
That’s about ten Invacars, which were part of the stash, but have now happily been claimed by another enthusiast. One who already holds a large parts stash for these cars. I suspect I’ll be doing business with this gentleman once I work out what I actually need.
Here’s my pair.
My two Invacars! Lucky ol’ me.
The one on the left is a particularly early example of an Invacar Model 70. According to the club contact I’ve spoken to, the second one is an AC Model 70. AC designed these vehicles, to a standard specification. Invacar, which had been building invalid carriages since 1948, also built the Model 70, to this standard specification – so they look near-enough identical. AC has previous when it comes to rear-engined microcars – the Petite is an incredibly noisy little three-wheeler that it was producing alongside the fearsome Ace. AC was also building invalid carriages, initially to a similar design to Invacar, to meet government requirements, but then branching out slightly with the Model 57. Other manufacturers had their own designs, including the unfortunately named Tippen & Sons – not a great name for a three-wheeler manufacturer…
The first Model 70s were sold in 1971, and were a fair bit wider than previous designs, and therefore more stable. Sadly, not stable enough for some people, including Graham Hill. He was loaned one after a racing collision, and was so horrified he campaigned against them. That pressure built up until the government called a stop to production in 1977. Disabled people would now need to get normal cars converted. Shame.
However, the government allowed happy Model 70 owners to keep leasing their vehicles right up until 2003. Then, all of a sudden, the government decided the Model 70s should all be scrapped. Within a week, all of the Model 70s were rounded up, and should have been scrapped. In the case of this stash, the executioner’s axe never fell. They were parked up, to await scrapping, but it never happened. They have survived! The seller of the vehicles agreed to temporarily store these vehicles in 2003, but 14 years later, with the chap who brought them to the field deceased, he just wants the space back. He had sorrowful tales to tell of what the poor chap had been through collecting these cars, from owners (or rather, leasees) who were devastated to lose their lifelines. All very sad.
However, as these cars haven’t actually been scrapped, I’ve had a rare chance to save a pair.
Here’s what the ‘good’ one looks like on the inside.
Inside my ‘good’ Invacar.
Not sure why there’s a bag of rock salt in there. Ballast perhaps? But, as you can see, all the controls are set for hand use. There’s a motorcycle-style throttle, while pushing the entire handlebar down operates the brakes. The doors slide forward, to make it easy to get in from a wheelchair. There’s room for the chair to be stashed next to the seat.
This one has covered over 28,000 miles, which is quite high for an Invacar. Not many got used for long journeys, though the 493cc Steyr-Puch aircooled flat twin is good for about 20bhp. Given the light weight of these vehicles (under 400kg), that’s enough to reach at least the motorway speed limit! Drive is transmitted via a single DAF-esque variable pulley set-up, to Fiat 500/126 driveshafts. Nice and simple, and it means they can go as fast backwards as forwards. What could possibly go wrong?
I’m not really sure how the standard specification came to include an obscure Austrian engine, though the company did sell its Haflinger off-roader in the UK, and that had a very similar engine (slightly larger I think).
Anyway, collection is being arranged, so I can get the vehicles to Wales and start the rebuild. I cannot wait to get started, then go for a drive! That should be possible too. Through hard work by the Invalid Carriage Register, it is possible to change the vehicle class to trike, so they can be made road legal, 14 years after they were unceremoniously banned.
Happy! Can’t wait to start the rebuild and go for a drive.

Citroën destroys brand loyalty
Brand loyalty is a strange thing. I consider myself a Citroen enthusiast, but its products have changed a great deal over the years depending on who was calling the shots. André Citroën himself never got to see the Traction Avant do so well, and never got a whiff of the 2CV and DS (launched during Michelin’s custodianship). Some of my favourite Citroens came out of the Peugeot years, and were better because of it – BX and XM in particular.
Very much a Citroën, whatever marketing numpties think.
But show me a Saxo and I’ll turn my nose up at it. Wave a Xsara in my direction and I will not get excited. Hand me the keys to any of Citroën’s current line up, and I’d probably just give them back – ironically apart from the e-Mehari, which isn’t actually a Citroën at all.
My loyalty to the brand has been diluted by Peugeot’s with chevrons, and by Citroën’s frankly callous regard for its own heritage. For years, the conservatoire was impossible to visit. A hard working team kept some incredible machines in storage, and Citroën will, rather begrudgingly, let you poke around the place today. For now. If you apply for a visit through a club. And only on certain days.
Citroën has also been one of the worst for supporting older models. They cannot wait for the period to expire in which they must make parts available for their old cars. Even before then, they’ll ramp the prices up to quite ridiculous levels, so demand falls away.
But circumstances have taken a far darker turn of late, with the spinning off of the DS ‘brand’ from within Citroën. This triumph of marketing over substance has seen Citroën now airbrush one of its most iconic designs from its history files. You can see it right here. A lovely list of Citroëns from the ages, but the DS (and, oddly, the SM) are nowhere to be seen.
Apparently the SM isn’t a #CitroenIcon either. Insanity.
How utterly ridiculous. The DS was one of the most incredible cars of the 20th Century, but because some marketing bod who was born decades later had a blue sky moment, it apparently isn’t a Citroën anymore. Frankly, I’m starting to wish that Peugeot had just killed off the Citroën brand rather than subject it to this. Hydropneumatic suspension has already been killed off, and now history is being altered to make it easier to sell the hideous DS range of cars.
PSA, the group that owns Citroën, really doesn’t seem to get it. It has no understanding that heritage sells. No, not like that. It isn’t something you just dig out once in a while to try and get a sale. Heritage is something manufacturers need to invest in. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche understand this, and Jaguar Land Rover is fast following suit.
None of these companies are attempting to erase cars from their history. Citroën overlooking the DS is like Jaguar overlooking the E-Type, or Land Rover pretending the Range Rover didn’t happen, BMW ignoring the M3 and Porsche denying it had anything to do with the original 911.
It’s the final straw as far as I’m concerned. The Citroën of today is not worthy of my attention. Instead, I will forever enjoy it’s actual heritage. The one that has the DS firmly at its centre – a car which was very much about substance, not empty promises from a design agency.

Gullwings for the high street
Gullwing doors are a stupid idea really. Sorry Tesla, Mercedes-Benz and DeLorean but they are. Let’s not forget that the Mercedes-Benz 300SL was banned from race tracks for the simple reason that if the car rolled over, the driver could not get out. The Tesla Model X and DeLorean both remind us that making such doors a production reality is a bloody nightmare. They’re nothing more than a very silly gimmick.
A truly scrumptious design – Giugiaro Gabbiano.
Yet, when Giorgetto Giugiaro applied them to his Gabbiano Renault 11 proposal, I must admit that I was swept away both with the beauty of the design – uncluttered and clean – and the practical case for gullwings. Very easy access to all seats being the main one and a major point Elon Musk makes about the Model X.
As a child, I studied pictures of the Gabbiano for hours. It really is Giugiaro at his very best. Yet, barely anyone knows it exists. That made me all the happier when, earlier this year, I included the Gabbiano in a feature on one-offs and cars that sadly never made production that was published in Classic Car Buyer.
Gabbiano is Italian for seagull, so there’s a clear reference to the doors. In terms of styling, there’s a very-1980s wedge profile with pop-up headlamps and another styling trait that became the rage about this time – a ‘floating’ roof where the pillars are blended into the glasswork. See also the Rover R8 200 and XX 800 and Citroen XM. Once more, Ital Design was at the cutting edge of car fashion. Yet, there’s always something very real and believable about Giugiaro’s designs. Note the really entirely normal rear lights that so neatly form part of the rear styling, while also having a bit of a nod to the original Renault 5. No fancy-pants LEDs here, or gimmicky slashes, just really practical, neat design.
Giugiaro’s talents toned down for the production 21.
My disappointment was increased at least ten-fold when Renault replaced the 11 with the dull, dull 19. Especially as Ital Design had a hand in it! Not one of its best efforts, though it did redeem itself with the 21 – not an especially exciting design but one which again, has a delightful neatness about it. I guess it goes to show that concept cars are far too often judged too radical for the real world. A shame.

Heritage Motor Centre – an amazing day
The Heritage Motor Centre contains some incredible cars – absolute icons mingle with odd prototypes and immaculate examples of cars the world didn’t necessarily take all that well to. I got to drive some of them last Thursday, as you can read in this week’s Classic Car Weekly (7th May issue).
That article gives you the background for why it happened, but here I’m going to focus on the vehicles that really stood out for me. One is HUE 166 which, as any Landy fan knows, is Land Rover Number 1. There’s some debate about exactly what this means – some reckon Huey is the first production Land Rover, others that he is in fact a pre-production one. It also must be said that a thorough restoration (Huey was sold by the factory and used as a farm hack for several decades) in the 1970s included the fitment of quite a few non-original items. Such as the rear body. And trafficators.
HUE 166 and a hairy bloke (Pic: Richard Gunn)
I couldn’t care less. Huey remains one of the most significant vehicles in our motoring history. He’s one of the most famous too, and is very often wheeled out for events and TV programmes. I seem to recall that Dick Strawbridge drove him around on a beach in North Wales as it’s where the concept of the Land Rover was conceived. But, this was my chance to get behind the wheel. I was thrilled.
For a start, I’ve never driven a Land Rover older than a Series III and have always loved the cute looks and earnest appeal of the super-basic Series 1. As I clambered aboard, my 2CV began to feel almost luxurious! It’s rare to see quite so much exposed metal on a car. I gave the starter a shove, and the 1.6-litre, inlet-over-exhaust engine fired promptly into life. This was it. I was going to do it!
So, it was a shame that I pulled away in third gear really. The gearing is so low that this didn’t really seem to matter, but down-shifting to second for a particularly nasty speed bump confirmed my error. I had my suspicions by this stage! Huey felt quite sprightly really, and eager to stop too. Noisy, certainly. Not just engine noise, but the rattles and bangs of many metal panels. I got a chance to go back to third, and did a beautiful double-declutched downshift into second for a tight roundabout. There is no synchromesh on first or second.
Then I got a good run down towards the Centre and managed to get up to fourth. I was having the time of my life! Not only was I driving a Series 1 Land Rover, but this was the most famous of them all! Sadly, they wouldn’t let me take a trip around the off-road course.
Other iconic vehicles were present, but sadly while I got a short drive of the first Morris Minor – NLW 576 – the brakes had failed, so I had to be somewhat careful. Happily, I’m an expert at driving vehicles with no brakes… The Rover P6BS was an astonishing opportunity too, though sadly tainted by a hideous misfire. I doubt more than five cylinders were working.
My next choice was a Range Rover that has fascinated me since I was a child. In 1971, two Range Rovers drove the length of the Americas, from Alaska to Cape Horn. Most of the 18,000 mile journey was no problem at all, but the Darien Gap was the tricky bit – a chunk of rainforest and swamp that joins North to South America. Through here, they averaged just 2.5 miles a day. I’ve read many features about these cars, both of which survive. One is part of the incredible Dunsfold Land Rover collection, the other was retained by Rover and is a car I can remember from when I first visited Gaydon back in 1993. I remember standing next to it wondering about the adventures this car has undertaken and being struck by the contrast between jungle-battling and standing silently in a museum.
Darien Gap Range Rover
Therefore, I was overjoyed to get the opportunity to actually drive one of these famous vehicles. I wasn’t the first – it seems it was taxed in 2012 at some point. That probably explains why it was so joyous to drive. It felt absolutely spot on. Top heavy, yes. It still wears the ladders they used to cross the forest and they make it top heavy! So overloaded were the cars that the rear differentials developed a habit of very often breaking on the trip. Experts were flown out from Solihull to pinpoint the problem and the vehicle loads reduced.
This Range Rover has an amazing history, from over 40 years ago!
Some cars were only available for passenger rides – such as a 1904 Rover and an MG Metro 6R4. Time didn’t allow for such pleasantries, but I did drive a mix of other vehicles, including an Alvis TE21 and an Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346. These were very pleasant indeed, but neither really stood out. After all, they were just classic cars albeit rather nice ones. It’s amazing how historical context makes one car feel so much more special than another.
Which brings me to the Triumph Lynx. I almost didn’t get to drive it, as it spectacularly blew a coolant hose after a couple of drives. Hats off to the Heritage Motor Centre mechanics though, because it didn’t seem to take them at all long to get the hose changed.
The Lynx is actually a pre-production example. They got that close to actually building it. The styling is an odd mix of Harris Mann’s TR7 and a Canley designed rear. Not the happiest rear end it must be said. The platform is extended TR7 but with a Rover SD1 rear axle set-up. It’s a Capri-rivalling, US-pleasing V8 four-seat coupe. Sadly, industrial relations were so bad at the TR7 factory in Speke that management shut down that factory, and with it the hopes of the Lynx. The project was shelved before tooling could be put in place and this vehicle remains a remarkable one-off.
The Triumph Lynx was very nearly a production reality
What a shame too. It is a lovely car to drive, with delightfully-weighted power-assisted steering, and the lusty grunt of the V8 that arguably should always have powered the TR7. I was very pleased to secure a drive in this almost-production car. What a day.
I know this is already a very long piece, but I really must thank the mechanics, management and volunteers at the Heritage Motor Centre for making this incredible day a reality. It was pretty much unprecedented to have so many important cars out and actually working and it made for a true spectacle. It was truly heart-warming to see how much everyone involved – from volunteer right up to the management team – absolutely loved the day. I wish them all the best for the new Museums Collections Centre, which will allow the reserve collection to be displayed for the first time. Exciting times indeed.

Historic Racing. Old is best!
I watched the Formula 1 a couple of weeks ago. My timing was spot on. It was an absolutely thrilling battle, with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg having a titanic tussle for the lead. But as thrilling as their fight was, the spectacle of Formula 1 still doesn’t grab me. It hasn’t really done so for years. The problem is the noise. No, not that the cars are too quiet – these latest ones have a nice V6 growl and pleasant turbo whine – but that the noise just isn’t that nice.
This is where historic racing comes in.
Old is better than new when it comes to racing
You get a lot more variety with historic racing for a start. Here, a TVR does battle with an Austin-Healey and a Triumph TR4 at the Goodwood Revival. Not that you need to stump up the frankly scary prices for admission at the frankly incredible Revival. Historic Racing takes place all over the UK and indeed the world. The Silverstone Classic lacks the atmosphere of the Revival, but features much of the same metal. There’s the Donington Historic coming up soon too – first weekend of May. There’s stuff going on all over the place, creating the sort of noises that racing cars should make. Hearing exotic V12s pumping out sweet music, joined in chorus by straight-sixes and tuned V8s makes for a true motoring spectacle. It creates the sort of soundtrack that modern F1 completely lacks.
It creates moments like this too. An extremely well-driven Ford GT40 at a soggy Goodwood. Remarkable car control.
You won’t see cars squirming around in Formula 1 like that. It really is astonishing stuff.
Prefer a V12? I bet you didn’t even know that a Jaguar XJ-S could make this sort of noise. The road car is rather more refined.
Those are the sorts of noises that set my blood curdling. There is an increasing interest in historic racing, and rightly so! Modern racers may be quicker, but like modern cars, they seem overly sanitised and some of the fun has gone out of it. It’s not just track racing either. Here’s perhaps one of my favourite motorsport videos. The late, great Colin McRae giving it some serious beans in a Metro 6R4, and losing it completely at one stage!
This sort of thing generates a level of excitement that modern racing just can’t match. Whether it’s 2CVs or Ferrari GTOs, historic racing has a massive range of interesting tin in action. I bloomin’ love it!

The last car built in Luton
Luton was once the home of Vauxhall, experiencing its best years before the consolidation of parent company General Motor’s European operations. From the start of the early 1970s, Vauxhall would lose out to German in-house rival Opel first losing design input, then losing car production at Luton altogether (though Vivaro vans are still produced there today – a joint project with Renault).
Yes, this is the very last Vauxhall Frontera. The last car built in Luton.
The last Frontera was built in 2004, and it marked the end of passenger car production at Luton (albeit at the former-Bedford factory rather than the main car production plant). Unusually though, it wasn’t an Opel design. In fact, it wasn’t very European at all. The Frontera began life in Japan as the Isuzu Mu (short wheelbase) or Wizard (long wheelbase). General Motors seemed to think that such a name made it unsuitable for Euro tastes, so launched the Vauxhall/Opel Frontera in 1991. The underpinnings were largely from an Isuzu pick-up truck, rebranded as a Bedford then a Vauxhall in the UK and used extensively by The AA.
Petrol engines were Vauxhall’s own 2.0-litre (swb) or 2.4-litre (lwb) but the lwb was also available with the 2.3-litre turbo diesel engine shared with the Carlton. Not one of the best. A facelift didn’t change an awful lot externally, but did replace the cumbersome rear leaf springs with coils. New petrol engines (2.0 and 2.2) were a boost, as was the fitment of Isuzu’s own tough 2.8-litre turbo diesel. It didn’t last long though. For some reason, GM opted to fit the VM 2.5-litre engine from 1996. This was an inferior engine in terms of refinement and reliability – it pops head gaskets (it has four cylinder heads) for fun if you neglect it.
1998 saw further improvements, with a more noticeable restyle, the 2.2-litre petrol carried over but a new 2.2-litre Vauxhall/Opel DTi diesel option and also a 3.2-litre V6 for those with no economy worries. By now though, the competition was moving on and the Frontera was feeling its age.
I know because I’ve driven the very last Frontera ever built and therefore the last car built in Luton.
Driving around on public roads in such a vehicle is really quite odd. No-one has any idea of the significance of it. Why would they? It’s just a black, bland 4×4 with nothing to distinguish its unique history. It is owned and maintained by Vauxhall’s Heritage team at Luton. They often use it to tow other classic Vauxhalls to various locations for displays and the like. This is a working vehicle. Yet when I drove it in 2008, it had less than 4000 miles on the clock.
I enjoyed driving it for a few days and took it as far as the Bromley Pageant of Motoring that year, where no-one paid it any attention, as you’d expect. I felt like frogmarching people up to it saying “Do you know how significant this car is?” But I rather feared I’d be taken away by nice people in white coats. Or at least the security guards.
Last Frontera is very practical and often transports Vauxhall Heritage cars
Yet to drive, it wasn’t that enthralling. Sure, it was very competent in many regards, with fine poise, a quiet engine and good pulling power, but the ride was definitely on the firm side. It felt like the designers had decided that the only way to stop it falling over on bends was to weld the suspension up. On Fenland roads, it was horrific. On the motorway though, it was delightful – with enormous door mirrors making it very easy to keep an eye on traffic behind. Sadly, I didn’t get to put it through its paces off-road, but from what I’ve heard from others, they’re pretty good. After all, there’s a strong separate chassis and a proper low-range gearbox.
That was the problem. Like the Nissan Terrano II, the Frontera just wasn’t soft enough. New cars such as the Nissan X-Trail and the Vauxhall Antara proved that when it comes to 4x4s, the market wants a car that looks a bit chunky – they’re not really interested in actual off-road ability. Therefore the Frontera has another duty to perform. It must represent the end of an era too – the era when soft roaders were still actually good off-road. (Ok, it wasn’t the last. The Nissan Terrano managed to linger on for another few years but was killed off in 2007).
However, my work here is done. I have highlighted what the last passenger car built at Luton was, and it wasn’t the Vauxhall Vectra that most people expect. No, it was instead the Frontera. A car that enjoyed a 13-year production life. A car that deserves more credit than it ever receives. Especially the one I drove.

Maserati Traction Avant
No wonder Citroën went bankrupt in the 1970s. Not only were they building some of the wackiest cars available to the public, but they bought Maserati and decided to have a go at building wacky supercars too.
Even more bonkers than a Citroën SM - the Maserati Quattroporte II
Take the Maserati Quattroporte II as an example. The previous Quattroporte was pretty much the first super saloon. Capable of seating five adults yet transporting them at a constant 125mph (top speed was 140mph), the quirky Quattroporte managed to sell pretty well with 760 sold in an eight year production run. Power came from two sizes of iconic Maserati V8 equipped with four Weber carburettors. Not exactly a thrifty ol’ motor.
A neater, Frua-styled version was on the cards, but then Citroën took over – and they had some very advanced ideas. As if the Citroën SM wasn’t a big enough White Elephant, the Quattroporte II was, in hindsight, absolute madness. To create it, a lengthened SM platform was used, complete with front-mounted Maserati V6 and front-wheel drive. The full range of hydraulic suspension, steering and brakes were fitted and Bertone was commissioned to come up with a dramatic shape – complete with six headlamps behind a glass nosepanel – just like an SM – and triple windscreen wipers.
With only 190bhp, compared to at least 250bhp with the previous QP, performance suffered in this hugely weighty car. 125mph was perhaps just about possible, though only 13 were finally built. Citroën and Maserati both ended up in huge financial straits. Maserati was bought by De Tomaso – who quickly killed this extravagance – while Citroën fell into the arms of arch-rival Peugeot. It can’t really be considered in any way a success – but I’d still quite like one. Shame the only one for sale in the UK at the moment has a price tag of £124,999 – but then, where are you going to find another?

A step towards hydroformylation under sustainable conditions: Platinum-catalysed enantioselective hydroformylation of styrene in gamma-valerolactone
Péter Pongrácz, L. Kollár, László T. Mika
Platinum-catalysed enantioselective hydroformylation of styrene was performed in γ-valerolactone (GVL) as a proposed environmentally benign reaction medium. Optically active bidentate ligands, possessing various types of chirality elements e.g. central (BDPP), axial (BINAP, SEGPHOS, DM-SEGPHOS, DTBM-SEGPHOS) and planar/central (JOSIPHOS) elements, were applied in in situ generated Pt-diphosphine-tin(ii)chloride catalyst systems. In general, slightly higher activities and regioselectivities towards a branched aldehyde (2-phenylpropanal) were obtained in toluene as a reference conventional solvent. However, higher chemoselectivities towards aldehydes (up to 98%) in GVL were obtained at lower temperatures. The application of GVL proved to be also advantageous regarding enantioselectivity: although moderate enantioselectivities were obtained in both solvents, in most cases higher ee values were detected in GVL. From the mechanistic point of view, the formation of different catalytic intermediates and/or different kinetics can be envisaged from the different temperature dependences of ee in GVL and toluene. The 31P-NMR characterization of catalyst species in GVL was also provided.

There's been a terrifying update to the 'Dear David' ghost saga
Image: Twitter/@moby_dickhead
It keeps getting worse
There's been a terrifying update to the ongoing saga of 'Dear David', a ghost allegedly haunting a New York City writer.
A quick recap of events so far, for those of you playing along at home:
August 2017: Illustrator Adam Ellis is alerted to the presence of something supernatural in his house by the midnight freakouts of his two cats. He learns via a dream that he's in the presence of the ghost of a young boy, known as 'Dear David'
October 2017: He sees a statue in a park in Japan, exactly like the face he saw in his dream. Several weeks later, he sees a face at his window.
November 2017: Ellis captures some deeply creepy shots of the ghost on his phone, and becomes increasingly convinced the ghost means him harm.
Ellis has been chronicling these unsettling discoveries on Twitter and Storify, and now has an international following (as well as a reasonably sizeable crowd of sceptics linking his 'haunting' to some variety of brand promotion).
But even by the high standards set by yowling cats and scary ghost photos, his latest discovery is, well, frightening.
There are lots of reasons to feel stressed at this time of year, even if you're not being haunted. If you're in need of advice – or just some solidarity – listen to this episode of 9Honey's hit podcast series Life Bites:
A few weeks back, Ellis noticed a hatch up in his hallway ceiling. He assumed it gave access to the roof (since he lives on the top floor of a duplex), but after making some calculations based on a nearby skylight, realised it must open onto a crawlspace.
So far, nothing too much to worry about – aside from the fact that crawlspaces are inherently creepy. (What's in them? Why are they there? Why are they so horribly small? etc.)
Then, he started hearing noises out of the crawlspace.
You're right. Even for those of us not worried about a child ghost on some kind of murderous mission, noises coming from an 'empty' space in the house are a very un-nice thing to hear.
For Ellis, things got yet more un-nice when, following the noises, he noticed something new poking out of the hatch.
So, he did what pretty much no-one else in this situation would do, and ordered a special pole to allow him to open up the hatch.
And found A CHILD'S SHOE.
YES, PROBABLY 'DEAR DAVID'S' TINY LITTLE GHOST SHOES, YES.
Finally showing some sense (or at the very least, a healthy amount of deep, paralysing terror), Ellis asked his landlord to investigate.
Looking around the crawlspace, his landlord found nothing.
Nothing except this old-fashioned glass marble. You know, the kind of old-fashioned glass marble a ghost called 'Dear David' would probably cradle while he plotted his vicious murders.
Nothing to see here, folks. Let's all log off Twitter, go home, and pretend we never heard about this ghost.
Except perhaps to pray for Ellis, who for some reason decided it was a good idea to move these objects into his apartment.

Kim Kardashian caught her daughter North applying makeup as face paint
Every parent knows this struggle
She may be one of the most recognisable women in the world, but even Kim Kardashian has to deal with the everyday struggles of being a mum.
The social media star and makeup mogul caught her eldest daughter, North applying one of her eyeshadow palettes all over her face, and she captured the whole thing on camera.
"North, what are you doing with my Mario palette?" Kim can be heard asking in her Instagram story after the five-year-old was caught smearing the bright blue eyeshadow from a palette from Kim’s range, made in collaboration with makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic.
(Instagram)
Kim asks her daughter to turn around, and North runs away from the camera.
A second video shows a close-up of the makeup smudges, and Kim sternly saying “Stop it”.
Her strict voice doesn’t last long though, and she soon giggles, "That's not how you put on eyeshadow!"
Kim has previously revealed that North “wants to be a makeup artist,” and while her skills could use some honing, it’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility. While her mum has her own range, auntie Kylie Jenner also has a best-selling cosmetics line, and the whole Kardashian family love to experiment with beauty looks.
She may only be five, but we’ve no doubt that North West will be taking on the world very soon.

New Belgium Brewing Co.’s “Snapshot Wheat”
In Uncategorized by Hopjacks - Tech admin February 4, 2014
In a digital age where the younger generations rely more upon modern technology, print media is dying along with other highly-expressive forms of communication. No where do I feel this is happening more than in photography.
Today’s cellular phones have better picture-taking abilities than my old Canon AE-1. Heck, they are faster and stronger computers than the Apple II-E I had as a kid. Combine that kind of tech with complete portability and software applications that easily doctor up any photo and suddenly everyone’s Ansel Adams.
Don’t get me wrong. I totally recognize the importance of information sharing. If it wasn’t for cell phones’ ubiquitous presence we wouldn’t have felt the same impact of Egypt’s citizen uprising, the amazement of the Russian meteor airblast or the relief of seeing the passengers of Flight 1549 safely evacuate the plane crash on the Hudson River. All shot in as it happened.
As a form of artistic expression, however, it’s not the same. The skill and intent of a photographer with a keen eye jumps out of their work. You can actually feel their emotion when the shot is right. When it’s great, it’s instantaneous. You never have to think about it, it just grabs you. It’s truly art.
See, while it’s great that we have the tools to cover anything important at any time, most of what the technology is used for is mediocre and banal. A real photographer is visually hunting for a story to tell in a single image.
New Belgium’s brewing staff captured the image of a style dying in much of America just like classic photography’s abandonment. Apropos to the spirit, they called it Snapshot.
Slightly funky, sour beer is a style largely ignored outside of more metropolitan locations much like appreciation of photography. One of photography’s greatest strengths is that you don’t have to be an art major to get “it.” This sentiment has been applied to Snapshot; you don’t have to be an expert to discern why the beer is great while, at the same time, a more educated palate knows exactly why it rocks.
Like a photographer armed with light meters, special lenses and training on angles and f-stops, there’s a lot that goes into making Snapshot that a casual glance won’t tell you. Step one is adding lactobacillus bacteria to the grain wort. This causes a sourness that coaxes extra citrus out of the wheat base of this hazy, straw-color ale. Additional lemon notes come from coriander while Grains of Paradise lend exotic flavors of Trade Route spice. White pepper, cardamom and ginger mingle with a light bread-like profile. Overall, Snapshot begins with a massive, fluffy head before delivering a crisp, effervescent body and a tangy, spicy, clean finish.
Take a picture, it’ll last longer. With Snapshot, I certainly hope that’s the case.

South Sudanese musician badly beaten by thugs in Kampala [PHOTO]
By on @hotinjuba
Upcoming South Sudanese musician King of Nation was brutally attacked by thugs in Uganda’s capital Kampala. The artist sustained injuries when thieves descended on him with kicks and blows early this month. Those who were with him at the time of the attack escaped with minor injuries.
According to musician S-Bizzy who is a friend to King of Nation, the attack happened when King of Nation was coming back home from having a supper at a nearby restaurant.
“He went to buy supper with D Boss and some brothers of his when he was attacked by 6 men. He was beaten by thugs around midnight on his way home, they took everything he had,” he said.
“This wasn’t the first time, those thugs attack South Sudanese everyday just that some get lucky. They believe South Sudanese in Munyonyo are rich and having nice gadgets, like phones, tabs or laptops and money.” He continued.
He suffered fractured arm. X-ray pictures seen by Hot in Juba show the musician’s right arm is broken twice. He was hospitalised and currently recuperating at home according to S-Bizzy.
“He was rushed to Nsambya hospital but due to congestion he wasn’t given attention, so the father had to hire a doctor who is working on him at home and the doctor said in 4 weeks bye will be fine.” Said S-Bizzy.
Hot in Juba wishes King of Nation a speedy recovery.

About Goth – Just a Phase?

Surveys Closed
Happy World Goth Day 2016

Goth – Just a Phase?
Goth subculture as an identity constant beyond youth.
Inner City Firm
Back in the Day: Perth Goth Club Scene 1989-1998
Back in the Day: Memories of the Perth Goth Club Scene 1989-1998 As discussed in a previous post, I have been exploring the visual nature of the Goth community as a source of inspiration and impetus for my research. By digging through my old shoe-boxes of clubbing memorabilia and photographing some of its contents I am attempting to catalogue an indicative selection of club flyers, gig pamphlets and other ephemera from the Perth[1] Goth scene in the decade 1989-1998. A few are included here, and I will continue to add more to my Pinterest page as I digitise them throughout this project. During this time there were several highly creative, motivated and capable people in the Perth scene who collectively made stuff happen!
Amnesia Club Entry Card …Admit One
The flyers provide an illustration of the club/event activities of the subculture at the time; the start of this time period marks my early involvement in the club scene through my most active clubbing years during which I helped organise and promote Goth and Goth-Industrial club nights. The geographic isolation of Perth inspired an entrepreneurial approach to social enterprise within the Goth scene during this period. With the costs of travel high, bands seldom scheduled lengthy tours of Australia, and when they did the far-flung city of Perth was often left off itineraries.
Who else remembers the I need a Cure tour petition??
Inner City Firm – Club entry card c.1991
While this resulted in a limited number of major bands performing in the city during this period, it succeeded in creating a self-supporting culture with an active club and local bands scene. Additionally, for some this isolation inspired travel and provided a catalyst for establishing connections between Goths living in Perth and communities overseas and interstate, which in itself generated diversity through drawing in external influences.
Skin – The New Loft
Most people involved in the Perth Goth scene during this period actively contributed towards sustaining its social and economic activities beyond attendance at club nights and gigs. Members of the subculture established record stores, fashion design labels/stores, club nights, publications and other services to keep the subculture not just alive but thriving. A result of this communal desire to improve and support the subculture was a proliferation of specialised club nights and events, (particularly between 1992-5) organised by scene members with the support of nightclub proprietors. The level of activity, as illustrated by these flyers, gave the Perth Goth and Industrial scene a strong support base which was further enhanced by retail enterprises such as specialist stores and aesthetic services such as body piercing, tattooing and hair-dressing.
This evolving sophistication of the Goth culture is also reflected in the production quality of the scene-generated ephemera. Initially, the quality of the materials appears secondary to the primary purpose of effectively advertising events to the subculture in suitably familiar language, using in-culture references and styles to speak to the ‘right’ audience. Improvements in technology, access to materials and reduction in printing costs during this period is evidenced by the transition of many of the brochures from cheap, photocopied amateur productions to more professional materials. Within this vibrant community, the emergence of subgenres is evidenced in the various club pamphlets. Some venues specialised in particular styles of music – industrial, alternative, indie-pop, Goth – and provided a venue in which events could be scheduled so as to satisfy the shared tastes of subsets within the larger Goth population. Individual DJs delivered dependable setlists which catered to the needs of the various key audiences.
Growing from the Punk scene, early Goth nightclubs of the late 1980s (such as The Red Parrot, Asylum, Inner City Firm, Fruition, Amnesia among others) provided the Perth scene with predominantly English-influenced Gothic Rock nights and my first introduction to the scene. These clubs featured music from bands who themselves often did not consider their music Goth, nevertheless the music was (and is) heavily favoured by Traditional (Trad) Goths and played in almost all Goth clubs.
Berlin Club Flyer c.1992
Industrial music had begun to find commercial success in the early 1990s; frequently featuring Goth-influenced imagery, alternative iconography and dark themes; it was a natural high-energy companion to the comparatively sedate musical approach of Goth. The flourishing Industrial genre heavily influenced Perth Goth club nights, with setlists often featuring a mixture of Goth/Electro/Industrial and other alternative genres to a lesser degree, with a marked increase in the number of dance-oriented club events being scheduled in the early-mid 1990s.
Desolation at Geremiah’s Nightclub c.1995
The promotional material represents the spectrum of aesthetics within the Goth scene, with Industrial flyers often favouring harsher, mechanised forms and horror themes. Goth flyers utilise vampire, kitsch-horror and Victorian-influenced imagery to define and promote more traditionally influenced Goth events. Alongside these are other alternative bands and genres including shoe-gazer and indie sets. These distinctions demonstrate the stylistic differences in terms of music styles and visual representation as well as design/iconography within the scene, simultaneously it shows the Goth subculture’s ability to co-exist with compatible music styles and social groups. In 1990s Perth, there was an amicable yet apparent schism between those who principally favoured less energetic rock-based music (the Trad-Goth aesthetics) in comparison to the parallel genre broadly grouped under the moniker Industrial, featuring faster, more electronic dance-oriented music styles, less formal Goth-influenced dress and an emphasis on dancing rather than exclusively focussing on social interaction within the club environment. Clubs nights at Geremiah’s, The Loft, Interzone and Skin (among others) catered for those who sought dance-intensive nights primarily featuring Electro Body Music (EBM) and Industrial tracks with strong Goth influences.
Recoil – The Loft, Post-Detonation c.1995
With music containing mechanical and electronic noises accompanying heavily distorted vocals, the Industrial music genre also generated an occasionally uneasy association with heavy metal and thrash music; genres less congruent with the more flamboyant Goth scene. This shared patronage, however, helped sustain the subculture and provided financial stability in an otherwise niche market in a geographically isolated city. At times this resulted in uneasiness, when patrons unfamiliar with Goth aesthetics reacted to the extreme styles of the Goth patrons, sometimes approaching Goths with benign curiosity, sometimes with genuine animosity and attempts to generate confrontation. While these events were rare, the reliance on nightclub proprietors to provide space for Goth events, in part prompted future generations of the scene to be more self-managing, establishing dedicated Goth events management and membership-based clubs such as Dominion to better serve the needs of the Goth community.

The flyers presented here articulate by example the self-generating and sustaining nature of the Perth Goth and Industrial scene and record a period of high creative activity in the subculture. The ephemera itself represents examples of subculture specific iconography and thematic preoccupations, and demonstrate the scene’s ability to effectively self-promote and instinctively engage with its participants.[2]

If Asma bint Abu Bakr accepted the Prophet's offering of a ride, would the Prophet have committed a sin?
There is a hadith where the Prophet asked Asma if she wanted a ride in his camel but she refused because her husband doesn't like her being with other men.
This is the hadith which is narrated by Asma herself:
"When az-Zubayr married me, he had neither land, nor wealth, nor slave, nor anything else like it, except a camel to get water and his horse. I used to graze his horse, provide fodder for it, look after it and ground dates for his camel. Besides this, I grazed the camel, made arrangements for providing it with water and patching up his leather bucket and kneading the flour. I was not very good at baking the bread, so my female neighbors used to bake bread for me and they were sincere women. And I used to carry on my head, the date-stones from the land of az-Zubayr which the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam had endowed him and it was a distance of two miles from Madinah. One day, as I was carrying the date-stones upon my head, I happened to meet Allah's Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, along with a group of his Companions. He called me and told the camel to sit down so that he could make me ride behind him. I felt shy to go with men and I remembered az-Zubayr and his ghirah (ghirah is the sense of pride that a man has which causes him to dislike his wives, daughters or sisters from being seen or heard by strangers - it is this ghirah which makes a man protective about his women) and he was a man having the most ghirah. The Messenger sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam understood my shyness and left. I came to az-Zubayr and said, 'The Messenger of Allah met me as I was carrying date-stones upon my head and there was with him a group of his Companions. He told the camel to kneel so that I could mount it but I felt shy from him and I remembered your ghirah.' Upon this az-Zubayr said, 'By Allah, the thought of you carrying date-stones upon your head is more severe a burden to me than you riding with him.' I led this life of hardship until Abu Bakr sent me a female servant who took upon herself the responsibility of looking after the horse and I felt as if she had emancipated me."
[Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari (eng. trans.) vol. 7, p. 111, no. 151]
The reason I asked if it would have been a sin is that sister in laws are not mahrams as stated before on this site in this question:Is the brother in law (sister's husband) a mahram in Islam? and Asma was a half-sister-in-law of the Prophet as Wikipedia states:
Her half-sisters were Aisha and Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr, and her half-brothers were Abdul-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr and Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr.
Also the Prophet forbade being alone with a non-mahram. He said:
“No man should be alone with a woman unless there is a mahram with them.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1862) and Muslim (1341).
And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“No man is alone with a woman but the Shaytaan is the third one present.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1171) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
The above states that it is haram to be alone with a non-mahram.
Question: If Asma bint Abu Bakr accepted the Prophet's offering of a ride, would the Prophet have committed a sin?
My guess is that in the hadith, it mentions that the Prophet was with Companions and one the Companions might have been a mahram so it wouldn't have been a sin but I'm not sure.

ArmaanArmaan
If the prophet was with the Companions, what makes you think the rulings on "being alone" would even apply here? – goldPseudo♦ May 13 '17 at 19:55
None of the Companions might have been mahram to Asma. – Armaan May 13 '17 at 19:56
"unless there is a mahram with them" is contingent on being alone; if they're with the Companions, they're not alone. – goldPseudo♦ May 13 '17 at 19:58
Yeah, but the hadith would apply to more than one man as it can be a modern situation where a group of non-mahram men where standing somewhere and a woman who knows them and was alone would not be allowed to be with them as they are all non-mahram a, there is no mahram. – Armaan May 13 '17 at 20:00
@goldPseudo Based on your argument...one non-mahram man cannot be alone with a women unless a mahram is present... But twos, threes, fours and more non-mahram men can...hmm something's not right here – Qaisar Khan Dec 13 '17 at 0:25
The hadith is quoted in both sahihs (al-Bukari and Muslim)
Let's start by quoting the ahadith prohibiting what scholars call "Khulwa or Khulwah":
Ibn 'Umar narrated: " 'Umar delivered a Khutbah to us at Al-Jabiyah. He said: 'O you people! Indeed I have stood among you as the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) stood among us, and he said: "I order you (to stick to) my Companions, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then lying will spread until a man will take an oath when no oath was sought from him, and a witness will testify when his testimony was not sought. Behold! A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan. Adhere to the Jama'ah, beware of separation, for indeed Ash-Shaitan is with one, and he is further away from two. Whoever wants the best place in Paradise, then let him stick to the Jama'ah. Whoever rejoices with his good deeds and grieves over his evil deeds, then that is the believer among you.'" (Jami' at-Tirmidhi)
So the hadith already showed that what is prohibited is the one-to-one situation of a man alone with a woman:
"Behold! A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan.".
While a group is a walk around for such a case:
"Adhere to the Jama'ah, beware of separation, for indeed Ash-Shaitan is with one, and he is further away from two".
So of course neither the Prophet nor the sahaba in his company (nor Asma' at least from this point of view) would have committed any sin if Asma' accepted the offer.
Note that al-Bukhari and Muslim have compiled a similar hadith on the authority of ibn 'Abbas, which sounds more strict (here for example in sahih al-Bukhari).
From hadith commentaries
Imam an-Nawawi said in his commentary (on sahih Muslim) of the hadith (my own translation take it with the necessary care:
وفيه جواز إرداف المرأة التي ليست محرما إذا وجدت في طريق قد أعيت ، لا سيما مع جماعة رجال صالحين ، ولا شك في جواز مثل هذا
From this we can conclude that it is permissible to seat a non-mahram woman (behind one on a mount) if she is exhausted on the road, especially in a company of good or upright people, and there's no doubt that such things are permissible!
and he quoted a rather opposite statement of qadi 'Iyad saying:
وقال القاضي عياض : هذا خاص للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بخلاف غيره ، فقد أمرنا بالمباعدة من أنفاس الرجال والنساء ، وكانت عادته صلى الله عليه وسلم مباعدتهن لتقتدي به أمته ، قال : وإنما كانت هذه خصوصية له لكونها بنت أبي بكر ، وأخت عائشة ، وامرأة الزبير ، فكانت كإحدى أهله ونسائه ، مع ما خص به صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أملك لإربه . وأما إرداف المحارم فجائز بلا خلاف بكل حال
And al-Qadi 'iyad said: this is special for the Prophet (Allahs prayers and blessings be upon him) in contrary to others, as he asked us to create a distinction between men and women, and it was his custom to do so, so that his Ummah may follow him. He further said: and the special for him () here was that she was the daughter of abu Bakr, the sister of 'Aishah and the wife of az-Zubair, so she was as one of his family or wives, plus the special about him () that he had most control of his desires (see for example sunan abi Dawod). When it comes to seat a mahram this is permissible without any opposite view in any case.
Ibn hajjar al-'Asqalani concluded with a more general statement in his fath al-Bari (again my own translation):
وفيه جواز ارتداف المرأة خلف الرجل في موكب الرجال
From this we can conclude that it is permissible to seat (on a mount) a woman in a group of men
He also pointed ta the fact that Asma' didn't hide herself or use a hijab or something similar, before commenting that this might have happened before the order for hijab!
Medi1Saif♦Medi1Saif
If Asma did accept it and went with the Prophet leaving the Companions behind, would that have been a sin? – Armaan May 14 '17 at 9:35
@Armaan That should be a separate question. – Kilise May 21 '17 at 19:16

The Algebra Of Happiness Finding The Equation For A Life Well Lived
Author: Scott Galloway
Imprint : Bantam Press
Dimensions : ---length:- '18.4'width:- '13.1'units:- Centimeters
Author : Scott Galloway
From the New York Timesbestselling author, a provocative book of hard-won wisdom for achieving a fulfilling career and life.
As Scott Galloway puts it, by the time you hit your mid twenties sh*t gets real. Life become stressful. Even the smart, the hard working and the elite can feel lost in a chaotic, noisy and unpredictable world. As a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, the debate in Galloway's MBA class often veers away from business strategy to the challenging issue of life strategies. Which is why Galloway, in his signature, take-no-prisoners style, has developed a dynamic formula for a life well lived.
How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? Is a work/life balance really possible? What does it take to make a long-term relationship succeed?
In The Algebra of Happiness Galloway tells you how life can be navigated and negotiated better to maximise happiness and minimise the inevitable stress. Delivering practical advice and hard-won wisdom on everything from when to own property to how hard to work, this is self-help for anyone struggling with life's big questions.
Through simple equations that measure the relationship between success, resilience and failure or the correlation between happiness and money, Galloway attempts to convert intangible advice to tangible equations.

Shiv Sena: From Roaring to Whimpering
by Saroj Chadha
Shiv Sena Election Poster
It has been nineteen days since results for state assembly elections were announced in Maharashtra and the state is still without an elected government. The onus for this state of affairs undoubtedly rests on Shiv Sena (SS) whose credibility has taken a severe beating in their single-minded quest to see the twenty-eight-year-old scion of Thackeray family in Chief Minister’s (CM) chair. Could there be a greater betrayal of late Bala Saheb’s legacy than what SS had done in last two weeks? Shiv Sena which was compared to a tiger since its inception is today whimpering like a puppy and wagging its tail while waiting for Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar to give it a green signal for their support.
SS has been harping on two points mainly. First it claims that people of Maharashtra want to see a Chief Minister from Shiv Sena and secondly that there is an urgent need for providing an honest government to the people of the state in view of farmer crisis and PMC Bank scam. The first point is wishful thinking since it lacks credibility and logic. One wonders which world is SS living in? With less than 20% seats in the state assembly its aspirations for CM’s chair are rather bizarre. If people of Maharashtra wanted a CM from Shiv Sena the party’s win percentage in the seats contested would have been much higher than the measly 44% as against BJP’s over 65%. Additionally, in last few years there has never been any doubt about SS being the junior partner to BJP in the state. The seat sharing formula agreed between the two partners too corroborates this fact.
There can be no two opinions on the need for formation of an elected government in Maharashtra at the earliest for various reasons. But what is worrisome is the deceitful and fake concern shown by SS in this regard in last few days. The only reason the state does not have a government today is because of Sena’s fixation for occupying CM’s chair – a claim that defies all democratic norms and logic. If the party is so concerned about the state, it should have put its greed for power aside and honoured the mandate that voters have given for a BJP led government supported by SS. How can a party that could not display honesty and loyalty to its thirty-year-old partner ever provide an honest government? It is time SS did some introspection to realise how it has let down the voters for selfish motives.
The day Mr Uddhav Thackeray sought support from Congress and NCP, it also went against what SS has stood up for since its inception. The legacy of its founder, a staunch believer in Hindutva, was thrown out of the window and all the claims of Maratha pride came to a nought. SS, and more importantly Mr Uddhav Thackeray, fell in a trap laid by Mr Pawar. First Mr Pawar ensured that the party broke away from BJP (and NDA) to the point of no return. Then Mr Pawar made it clear that NCP’s backing to SS was subject to Congress party deciding to offer support. Mr Uddhav Thackeray’s naivety was exposed when without understanding the situation he stepped down from his high pedestal and called Mrs Sonia Gandhi for her support. Little did he know that seasoned politicians like Mr Pawar or Mrs Gandhi are masters at political games. They have probably forgotten more tricks in this trade than perhaps Uddhav or his other senior leaders like Mr Sanjay Raut have ever learnt in their lives. The end result was that SS delegation that went to meet the governor could only claim ‘in principle’ support of Congress and NCP in absence of any definite letter given by the two parties. It is obvious that only one political party had egg splashed all over its face in this whole episode.
SS blamed the governor for giving it only twenty-four hours instead of seventy-two given to BJP earlier for government formation. Frankly the governor was not wrong in doing so. It is no brainer that from the day results are announced, eligible parties start looking at options for forming a government when there is no clear winner. By the time Governor invited BJP it was obvious that BJP and SS would not be forming the government as partners. It is common knowledge that Shiv Sena had already opened discussions with Congress and NCP even before BJP was invited by the Governor. Surely the Governor too lives in the same world as rest of us, so he and his advisors were well aware of the goings on, both in front and behind the scenes. Those seventy-two hours were as much for SS as for BJP. Therefore, once BJP declined, there was no need for a similar period of time for SS. It would also be fair to assume that the Governor must have been worried about horse trading and therefore the need for a speedy resolution. Thus, any claim that SS was undone because of lack of time is a very lame excuse. The real reason for SS’s failure was its naivety and their leadership’s failure to see through the machinations of Mr Pawar.
The media has covered these developments to no end over the last two weeks. Surprisingly no one thought of seeking the reaction of MNS chief Raj Thackeray in this whole drama. Without a doubt it would be interesting to see what he has to say about the conduct and approach of SS leadership over the last two weeks and current state of the party.
Politics has lived up to its tag of unpredictability in this whole episode. Given Congress’ hard stance towards SS, the chances of Sena forming a government are very remote. But one cannot rule out the possibility of NCP taking lead and forming a government with assured support of Congress? After all, given the pathetic position that SS has landed in, it may have no option but to support such a move because if there is a re-election in the state, chances are that SS will suffer the most. Whatever be the developments in next few weeks, the only thing that is certain is that Shiv Sena will continue to be the biggest loser and they have only themselves to blame for it. In its quest for that elusive Chief Minister’s chair, the Sena seems to have lost not only its character and ideology but also its tiger’s roar.

Airbus hints at decision on new A321 version next year
Posted By: Editorial Teamon: November 27, 2018 In: BUSINESSNo Comments
TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) – The incoming chief executive of Europe’s Airbus hinted on Monday at a decision next year on whether to launch the A321XLR, a longer-range version of its best-selling A321 single-aisle jet.
Asked on the sidelines of a delivery ceremony in Toulouse whether Airbus planned to launch the proposed new variant, Guillaume Faury said: “I will be more precise in 2019.”
Reuters reported in June that Airbus is considering adding extra endurance to the longest-range version of its A321 with a new model called A321XLR as part of efforts to pre-empt a new jet being studied by U.S. rival Boeing (BA.N).
Next year is also when Boeing intends to make a decision on that project.
Airbus’s proposed A321XLR would carry extra fuel and expand the range of the already enhanced A321LR version, which recently claimed a long-distance record for single-aisle jets.
Airbus’s plan to expand the range aims to put pressure on Boeing by targeting major U.S. carriers, industry sources say.
The European firm already has the upper hand in the market for smaller jets, where it has outsold Boeing, but is being outgunned in the market for bigger jets like the A330neo which was delivered to its first customer on Monday.
“We see the ability of the A321 to go long-range in a very competitive way, as a way to change the industry and to completely close the gap between the single-aisle and the long-range,” by allowing the A321 to fly further, Faury said.
“Obviously we are looking at going in that direction and we are serious about it, and we will be looking at it next year,” he added.
Critics say the fragmentation of the A321 into several variants carries some commercial risks as it might make them harder to finance, while passengers would have to get used to sitting for longer periods in a fuselage made for shorter trips.
Faury is due to replace Tom Enders as CEO of Europe’s largest aerospace group in April 2019.

British India emerged from the Melbourne underground scene in 2007 to become one of Australia’s most successful independent rock acts in recent times. With 4 Top 10 albums to their credit the band show no signs of slowing down with their new album ‘Forgetting The Future’ Liberation /Anti Fragile 2017.

About British
The way Declan Melia tells it, British India had to destroy their world in order to live in it.
After five successful albums, the Melbourne four-piece found themselves at a crossroads. They could continue to explore the afternoon guitar contemplations of 2015’s Nothing Touches Me, which debuted, as with their previous three albums, in the Top 5 of the ARIA Albums Chart. Or they could blow it all up and start from nought.
They chose the latter.
Forgetting The Future is the explosive sixth record from one of Australia’s most cherished and esteemed rock bands, produced by Oscar Dawson.
“We were tapping into the same ferocity you feel when you first start writing songs as a band,” Melia says about writing Forgetting The Future. “Just going for it, getting songs out without overthinking them, fast and hard, Oscar was pushing for the same thing we were pushing for. The way I see it, the sound is futuristic but it’s still raw.”
Before reaching for the reset button, however, Melia had to weather a crisis of faith. Early in 2016, when talk of writing another album began, the guitarist and vocalist was questioning where the band were heading: weighing up what they had created and what it meant.
British India formed when all four members – Melia, guitarist Nic Wilson, bassist Will Drummond and drummer Matt O’Gorman – were 16 and in high school. Together they’ve seen no less than eight of their songs voted into the triple j Hottest 100, had their ‘I Can Make You Love Me’ single certified Gold, played every festival from Byron Bay to WA, toured, toured and toured again.
As the band turned the corner into its 10th year since their debut album ‘Guillotine’ 2007, the music world looked different. Melia wasn’t sure where British India fitted or what he wanted to say.
“I was questioning where I belonged, and not only in a musical sense. I was questioning where I was in my life and what the future held for me, where I wanted to be. I had to go to the guys and say, ‘OK, are we going to make another record?’ because I wasn’t sure that we would.”
The answer to Melia’s question was a collective “yes”, so as the premise for writing was set, the band rented the front room of Sing Sing Recording Studios in Melbourne’s south and settled in. No time constraints, no limitations – and then, with the band together again in a room, the writing flowed quickly. They recorded demos as they wrote, turning out riffs and ideas for no less than eight months before Oscar Dawson stepped in to work with them on turning the unbridled ideas into a record.
During that time, Melia realised that his own struggles mirrored those of the world at large – or, as he puts it, “the whole world seems to be having a crisis of faith” – and so he began to write, his lyrics taking on a “micro-verses-macro form: me thinking about my own life, then weighing that up against everything else that’s going on”.
The first single ‘Precious’ is perhaps the most clear example of Melia writing away his uncertainty, the front man yearning to accept the brevity of life and that each scene of beauty should be valued. Another standout track is ‘Absolutely Disgusting’, one of the album’s few tender moments, which sees Melia exploring starkly honest relationship failings.
Front and centre of the album is British India’s signature melodic chaos, more unhinged than ever in the frenetic yet danceable rhythms of ‘Midnight Homie’ and ‘My Love’. ‘My Love’ was the first song fully completed for the record, and when the band gathered around the studio speakers to listen, they knew they were making the album they needed to make.

How Schooling Works Among Freshwater Fish
By Max Lepley. Last edited by Marios Alexandrou.
How do fish form schools?
How close do fish within a school get to one another?
How do fish keep their schools together?
Schools of fish can consist of just two or three fish or over a million. Some species form huge schools, such as the grey mullet in the Caspian Sea, whose schools may extend for an incredible 60 miles (100 km). But irrespective of the species in question or the size of school it forms, the basic principles about schools are the same. What looks to be an extremely complicated and choreographed behavior is in fact beautifully simple and this simplicity underlies its success.
Individual fish gravitate together and are held there by the forces of social attraction. Among fish such as tetras, this attraction exerts an extremely powerful pull; individuals are strongly drawn to conspecifics and even to individuals of other closely related species. If a school of fish is attacked and the members of the school scatter, individuals may find themselves isolated Solitary fish become highly stressed as a result of their segregation and urgently try to locate others by sight or using longer-range chemical cues. If and when they detect these cues, they rapidly home in on their source and rejoin those fish until eventually the entire school reforms. Similarly, schools break up as darkness falls each evening, but reform at dawn every day as individual fish seek out and stick together with conspecifics.
From the tiniest tetras to the huge ocean-going tunas, schools of fish almost always maintain a steady distance between themselves and their nearest neighbors. This distance relates to the length of the fish. Under normal circumstances, fish in schools tend to keep between two and three body lengths apart. Thus, a school of 1-inch (2.5-cm) long fish will keep a distance of 1.5 to 2 inches (4 to 5 cm) between themselves and their nearest neighbors. These distances are governed by the situation that the fish find themselves in. Nearest neighbor distances increase when fish are hungry and scouring their habitat for food, and decrease when fish are threatened or swimming against a fast current causing the school to coalesce.
Fish use all their sensory abilities to keep tabs on their schoolmates. The sense of smell is important for recognizing school members and locating the school if it moves out of sight. The sensation of touch, via the lateral line, is essential if fish are to polarize and move coherently with the rest of the school.
However; the most important sensory input comes from the eyes. Although blind fish are capable of schooling, fish primarily use vision to maintain contact with the school. Many schooling species, including X-ray tetras (Pristella maxillaris), signal to each other using bold bars, often sited on their dorsal or caudal fins or along their bodies. In the case of X-ray tetras, the fish flick their banded dorsal fin to help keep the school together and show an increase in their rate of fin-flicking when they feel threatened. Research on this also found that X-ray tetras without the bars on their fins were much less socially attractive to conspecifics, causing schools to be less coherent

KROHNE and SAMSON introduced the joint venture FOCUS-ON at a press conference on September 19 in Frankfurt am Main. FOCUS-ON is a newly founded company dedicated to the development, production and marketing of autonomous actuators for the process industry 4.0. Coinciding with the announcement of the partnership, the company also unveiled an innovation that unites valve and measuring technology with unique diagnostics and control functions in one device. This combination of process instrumentation and control marks the world's first intelligent process node specifically developed for the process industries, say the partners.
KROHNE and SAMSON have equal shares in FOCUS-ON, which is registered in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. The basis for FOCUS-ON is the cooperation between the two companies, which have been working together in various marketing projects and events worldwide for over 25 years. The expansion into a strategic partnership in process instrumentation and the establishment of a joint venture was initiated by CEOs Dr Andreas Widl, SAMSON, and Stephan Neuburger, KROHNE. "In the age of digitization, leading innovations can only be achieved in cooperations," says Widl with conviction, "and here, two partners cooperate with full trust and at eye level". "We brought our ideas together and from this FOCUS-ON emerged, which bundles our innovative approaches to decentralized control and predictive maintenance resulting in the intelligent process node as the first product," adds Neuburger.
The technological motivation for the development of the module is explained by Dr Thomas Steckenreiter, CTO SAMSON: "With FOCUS-ON, we are taking a decisive step towards the autonomous factory that can produce autonomous while also autonomously optimizing.” His CTO counterpart at KROHNE, Dr Attila Bilgic adds, “Developing the adaptive control function was only a first step, more important is the integration of diagnostic functions and artificial intelligence. Our autonomous actuator knows its current status, can predict future conditions, and it is capable of learning and can adapt to applications."
The intelligent process node combines three functions: sensor, actuator and control. The module measures the flow in a pipeline and regulates its valve function independently to achieve the specified set points. "We are sure that this product significantly reduces plant complexity. Other key benefits include better and more efficient control of resources and the ability to optimize a process through extensive diagnostics. Plant availability can be significantly increased "summarizes Neuburger. Due to the integrated measuring sensors for flow, temperature and pressure, the device can for example recognize and predict cavitation. Increased stress and the wear of the valve and the piping can be avoided or significantly reduced. Thus, plants can be operated uninterrupted and without standstill for longer periods.
Sales of the intelligent process node are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2020.

Prince Harry to visit Diana's Angola landmine project
Reuters 6 September 2019
Britain's Prince Harry visits 'Fit and Fed' youth programme in London
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry will make a poignant visit to Angola this month to visit the landmine clearance project that featured in some of the most famous photographs of his late mother Princess Diana.
The pictures of Diana wearing protective gear as she walked among red skull-and-crossbone signs in 1997 won vital publicity for the Halo Trust which was clearing mines left during Angola’s civil war.
Diana died a few months before the international treaty to ban the weapons was signed later that year.
"(Harry) will visit the location where his mother was photographed. He will see how an area that was a dangerous minefield in 1997 is now a busy street with schools, shops and houses," Buckingham Palace said on Friday.
Harry, his wife Meghan and their baby son Archie will start their 10-day tour in Cape Town, South Africa, while Harry will also go to Malawi and Botswana at the request of the Foreign Office, the palace added.
The trip will be the first official tour as a family for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan, 37, a former U.S. actress, gave birth to Archie, their first child, in May. Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be among the dignitaries the couple will meet during the visit.
Harry, 34, the queen's grandson and seventh-in-line to the throne, is a frequent visitor to southern Africa for conservation work and holidays.
The trip will take place between Sept. 23 and Oct. 2.

Cadherin-6 mediates the heterotypic interactions between the hemopoietic osteoclast cell lineage and stromal cells in a murine model of osteoclast differentiation
Gabriel Mbalaviele, Riko Nishimura, Akira Myoi, Maria Niewolna, Sakamuri V. Reddy, Di Chen, Jian Feng, G. David Roodman, Gregory R. Mundy, Toshiyuki Yoneda
Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells of hemopoietic origin that are responsible for bone resorption during physiological bone remodeling and in a variety of bone diseases. Osteoclast development requires direct heterotypic cell-cell interactions of the hemopoietic osteoclast precursors with the neighboring osteoblast/stromal cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these heterotypic interactions are poorly understood. We isolated cadherin-6 isoform, denoted cadherin-6/2 from a cDNA library of human osteoclast-like cells. The isolated cadherin-6/2 is 3,423 bp in size consisting of an open reading frame of 2,115 bp, which encodes 705 amino acids. This isoform lacks 85 amino acids between positions 333 and 418 and contains 9 different amino acids in the extracellular domain compared with the previously described cadherin-6. The human osteoclast-like cells also expressed another isoform denoted cadherin-6/1 together with the cadherin-6. Introduction of cadherin-6/2 into L-cells that showed no cell-cell contact caused evident morphological changes accompanied with tight cell-cell association, indicating the cadherin-6/2 we isolated here is functional. Moreover, expression of dominant-negative or antisense cadherin-6/2 construct in bone marrow-derived mouse stromal ST2 cells, which express only cadherin- 6/2, markedly impaired their ability to support osteoclast formation in a mouse coculture model of osteoclastogenesis. Our results suggest that cadherin-6 may be a contributory molecule to the heterotypic interactions between the hemopoietic osteoclast cell lineage and osteoblast/bone marrow stromal cells required for the osteoclast differentiation. Since both osteoclasts and osteoblasts/bone marrow stromal cells are the primary cells controlling physiological bone remodeling, expression of cadherin-6 isoforms in these two cell types of different origin suggests a critical role of these molecules in the relationship of osteoclast precursors and cells of osteoblastic lineage within the bone microenvironment.

Make Your Own Sophisticated Tuna Spread, Italian Style
BY Elana Horwich | Nov 6, 2019 | Food
Jews have a long history in Italy. In fact, Rome has Europe’s oldest Jewish community. When the Roman Empire conquered Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, it sent the Jewish people from their holy land into the Diaspora, with different tribes settling in different regions. Jews who settled in Spain are called Sephardic, while those who ended up in Eastern Europe are known as Ashkenazi. Others went straight to Rome because, during that millennium, Rome was like New York — a big city with lots of jobs and great orgies. Most Jews went to Rome as indentured servants, working toward their freedom as they became integrated, upstanding citizens.
At various points in history, Jews from Spain came to live in Northern Italy via France, while other Spanish Jews made their way into southern Italy as merchants. The Jews contributed most notably to Italian culture in the mark they left on Italian cuisine. (You can learn more in my spiels for Chicken Crack and Sfratti.)
All this is to say that wherever you go in the entire world, Jews love a tuna sandwich.
This recipe is a lighter version of Joyce Goldstein’s recipe for Crostini di Spuma di Tonno from her book “Cucina Ebraica.” Its roots originate from the Jewish community in Padova.
Unlike American tuna salad, this is a whipped, fluffy tuna spread with butter and lemon. I know the concept of tuna whipped with butter is foreign to many of us, but spalmata di tonno is a delicacy in Italy. It’s not that different from tuna salad with mayonnaise, only much more sophisticated. (If you want to make it even more sophisticated, you can throw some anchovies into your food processor when you whip the tuna — but even I’m not that sophisticated myself.)
Delicious on a summer day by the pool or as an outdoor lunch, these tuna crostini pair well with an Aperol spritz and are ideally served before a meal that features seafood or as an afternoon snack.
Jewish Italian Tuna Toasts
From “Meal and a Spiel: How to Be a Badass in the Kitchen”
1 (7-ounce) can Italian tuna in olive oil
10 to 20 grinds of pepper mill, to taste
10 to 12 (1/2-inch thick) slices baguette
Olive oil for drizzling
2 tablespoons salted capers, chopped
12 pitted green olives, roughly chopped
Small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Place oven rack on the second rung from the top and turn on broiler.
Combine tuna (along with the oil in the can), butter, lemon zest and juice, and pepper and zip in a food processor until it becomes a smooth paste.
Place bread slices on baking sheet and set under the broiler until golden, about a minute. Flip slices and toast the other sides. Be careful not to burn.
Drizzle oil lightly onto the bread and slather on tuna spread, as you would peanut butter. Top with the capers, olives, parsley, and extra pepper if desired.
Makes 10-12 toasts.
Make-ahead prep: Although it might lose some fluffiness, the tuna spread tastes better the next day, so don’t hesitate to make it in advance. Be sure to bring it to room temperature for a couple of hours before eating. Toast and assemble the crostini as close to eating as possible.
Gluten-free variation: Replace the baguette with a gluten-free pizza crust.
Note on using multigrain bread
Italians would never make crostini or bruschetta on whole-grain bread. But no matter how good a fresh, crusty country loaf of ciabatta might be, white flour is not that healthful. The point is to eat like Italians, not look like a fat, old one. If you choose good bread, you might find that bruschetta made with multigrain bread won’t feel like a runner-up to the original but a winner all its own. I find that quality whole-grain tomato bruschetta pairs well as a side dish to frittatas.

Torah portion: Lingering hopes
BY Rabbi Lisa Edwards | Nov 12, 2014 | Religion
Parashat Chayei Sarah comes to us again this year in a time of wistfulness and worry, arriving as hostilities in Jerusalem and Hebron heat up. One would be hard-pressed to guess from the gentle stories told in Chayei Sarah of the deaths and burials of Sarah, Abraham and Ishmael that the site of their entombment in modern Hebron would eventually yield such conflict.
These few chapters of Genesis contain profound moments that stay with us emotionally and historically:
• Abraham crying over the lifeless body of his beloved wife, Sarah, dead at age 127: “Abraham came to weep for Sarah and to bewail her” (lispod l’Sarah v’livkotah).
• Abraham negotiating to buy the cave of Machpelah: “Let me pay the price of the land; accept it from me, that I may bury my dead there. … And then Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre — now Hebron — in the land of Canaan.”
• Abraham sending his servant to find a wife for Isaac: “Go to the land of my birth and get a wife for my son Isaac.”
• The servant’s fervent prayer: “O God of my master Abraham, grant me good fortune this day.”
• Rebekah watering the servant’s camels, fulfilling the servant’s premonition and prayer for the right wife for Isaac.
• Rebekah, asked by her brother and mother, Eileiha hateilkhi im-ha-ish ha-zeh, “Will you go with this man?” — a man she did not know, to a place she did not know, echoing Abraham and Sarah’s journey decades before.
• Rebekah’s simple reply, Eilech, “I will go.”
• Their blessing of her as they send her off to marry Isaac — “May you grow into thousands of myriads” — a blessing still given by many Jewish families to a bride on her wedding day.
• Rebekah falling off her camel when she first lays eyes on Isaac.
• Isaac taking Rebekah, at their first meeting, into his mother’s tent and finding comfort after his mother’s death; Isaac loving Rebekah, the first mention of romantic love in Torah.
• Abraham taking another wife, Keturah, after Sarah dies and Isaac and Rebekah marry. Keturah bearing six children with Abraham. Who remembers that when we think about the story of Abraham?
• Abraham providing for all his children: “Abraham willed all that he owned to Isaac; but to Abraham’s other sons, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living.”
• Abraham breathing his last at age 175, “old and contented” (zaken v’savei-ah).
• Isaac and Ishmael — had they been estranged, or not, until that time? — coming together to bury their father, Abraham.
• Isaac settling near Beer-lakhai-roi, “the well of the One who sees me” (Genesis 25:11), the name of the place where long ago an angel of God promises Hagar that Ishmael “will dwell alongside/facing [al-pnei] all his brothers,” (Genesis 16:12).
• And finally, at age 137, Ishmael, like his father Abraham, “breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kin.”
Is it today’s world that makes this Torah portion so poignant? The place names of Parashat Chayei Sarah ring in our collective memory and our collective present.
The cave of Machpelah — Hebron — the peacefully negotiated burial place of our ancestors (Sarah, Abraham and, later, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah) is today the site of ongoing conflicts between the descendants of Ishmael and Isaac who came together here to bury Abraham. These conflicts often flare up on Shabbat Chayei Sarah, aka Shabbat Hebron, when many Jews make pilgrimage to Hebron, the sorely troubled “resting” place of our shared father.
Framed by ongoing unrest between Jewish and Muslim residents, our modern world casts dark shadows on our storied past. But I suspect Chayei Sarah brings tears and deep emotion for other reasons as well. The beginnings are found here of traditions we still hold dear — of mourning and burial, of marriage with love, of regard and caring between parents and children, and among siblings. And there is the respect that our Jewish sacred text gives here to “Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham,” including the care given in Chayei Sarah to list Ishmael’s many descendants, when Ishmael too, like his father, Abraham, “was gathered to his kin.”
Perhaps we are moved by all the promises hinted at and made in Parashat Chayei Sarah, and the lingering hopes that remain all these generations later, despite the intervening sorrows and shattered dreams. Or, perhaps it is simply the rhythm of life that pervades these stories: the human need to mourn; the deep respect given the dead; and the irrepressible life force pulsing through to the other side of grief — the longing again for love, marriage, new generations, reconciliations — all the ingredients offered here for a gentler, more peaceful future for ourselves and for the world we share.

Mythology of Oceania
by Kava Lover | Dec 9, 2008 | Kava History | 0 comments
The majority, if not all, of Polynesians are extremely religious. That is why it is not surprising their culture is filled with myths and other beliefs.
They hold their beliefs about the existence of gods which, of course, have a great impact on their everyday living. A lot of beliefs are share from one island to another.
A number of versions were made as to how the world came into being. As most of the inhabitants describe it, in the beginning, there was only Nothing. And thus, nothing could be seen except for total darkness. At last this blankness began to shift about and change into other kinds of Nothingness, then into different kinds of night, then dawn, then day, then space called Cloudless heavens.
The said child of Cloudless Heavens was an egg which was drifted in an empty space.
After ages of time, something enthused in the egg, burst its shell, and emerged. This was the supreme god, Tangaroa. But Tangaroa was dismayed to find himself alone. So he took the remains of his shell and created the world out of it.
Next he created the lesser gods, and finally men and women. In those days the Earth Goddess and the Sky God were so close together that people living between them kept banging their heads on Sky.
It was always hot and stuffy, and nothing grew properly. One day the young gods reveled and, heaving and shoving, pushed the two apart. That is why sometimes we hear the Sky God lamenting with a voice of thunder, while the rainfall is really his tears at being parted from Earth.
In the times since people were created, the Polynesians said, the gods have lived in Pulotu or Hawaiki, the mysterious islands in the west. Sometimes, however, they went to live in the sky or otherwise under the islands. The Hawaiians believed that the home of some of the gods and goddesses was the volcano called Kirauea. Here they lived in the vast crater, two miles across.
The smaller craters were the gods’ houses, while the boiling lava was the sea on which they went surfboard riding, and its rumbling and crashing was the music for their dances. Just as there were different ranks of people, there were different ranks of gods.
The most important were the Atua, the original gods who created the world. The greatest was of course Tangaroa. next came the Tupua, men who had been ruling chiefs on earth, and had been elected as gods when they died. the greatest of them became transformed into posts supporting the roof in the gods’ own temple in Pulotu.
Third in rank were the Aitu. As far as the ordinary Polynesian man or woman was concerned, these were the gods who really counted. There were gods for every kind of trade or activity – gods for carpenters, builders, canoe makers, thatchers, net makers, even for thieves. It was not just a matter of one god for each kind, but up to a dozen or more.
Besides this, each district had its own individual god, and so die many families. This was still not the end of the list. In some parts of Polynesia they believed in gods of mischief, who went about causing small troubles out of sheer malice. Finally, lowest of all on the scale, there were ghosts and spooks that were sometimes frightening but never very important.
Among the other gods the Polynesian worshiped were some particularly important to them. Their lives depended on the fertility of their animals, their gardens, and themselves. Since they had gods for almost everything else, naturally they had gods and goddesses to represent the powers which made this fertility possible. It was a long time before Europeans understood that the chief servants of these particular divine characters were the members of the Arioi society, whose odd behavior so puzzled the first visitors to Tahiti. Their strange, wandering lives were really pilgrimages, and their apparently lighthearted songs and dances were a form of worship.
The gods were served in temples called maraes, which were also often used as public meeting places. They were built on points of land overlooking the sea, or deep in the woods. A huge enclosure, with stone walls sheltering a number of small huts in front of a great pyramid, was the usual form of a marae. On the top of the pyramid stood another small enclosure containing the wooden image of the god. Other images and sacred equipment were kept in the courtyard huts. There was also a building nearby for the sacred canoe, made by the king’s own hands, for the gods’ travels.
The worship was carried out by special priests. Being a priest was a profession, usually taught to a boy by his father who was also a priest. Anybody could pray privately, but for the great ceremonies each priest had to be word perfect in numbers of long prayers and chants. They had a few devices to help them. Some were very simple, just bundles of leaves or sticks which the priest laid down one by one as he finished each chant.
The Marquesans had sacred strings in which knots represented ancestors, and the Maoris had wooden rods notched for the same purpose. but the most extraordinary, and most famous, of these memory aids are from Easter Island. About 1868 a French missionary discovered in the islanders’ huts some slabs of wood carved with row after row of tiny engraved signs. A couple of dozen are now scattered throughout the museums of the world. The islanders remembered that the professional chanters used to hold them in their hands as they sang, but only one of these men, Metoro, was still alive.
When he was questioned by a missionary, the answers he gave seemed to make no sense, and he was dismissed as a fake. The question of whether or not the signs were a form of writing remained unsolved.
In 1953 Thomas Barthel, a young German expert on codes, began a new investigation. He collected copies of all the tablets. After a long search, he ran down the missionary’s lost notes on Metoro’s explanations in an Italian monastery. Barthel decided Metoro had been doing his best. Not completely trained, he had really understood some signs and had made wild guesses about others. In the end, Barthel decided that the tablets contained true writing in the form of ideograms, small pictures standing for single words, often combined to form yet other words. They stood for the key words of a chant, as if it had been written like a telegram. Most of the tablet inscriptions are myths, according to Barthel. He also thinks that the system of writing was brought to Easter Island from some other part of Polynesia, where it was forgotten before Europeans arrived.
Even with the Easter Island writing method as a help, however, the priests had to be learned men with excellent memories. They fully earned their title of tohunga, or “expert,” and were well paid for their work. But they, too, were bound in the same rigid pattern of classes as the rest of the people and the gods themselves. The priests of the Aitu gods, for instance, could not serve the Atua gods. The priests not only prayed to the gods. The people believed that the gods actually entered their bodies from time to time. Then the priest would shriek, tremble, and roll on the ground while people questioned the god within him. this lasted about half an hour, after which the priest fell into an exhausted sleep. Any answer the priest gave was taken as the voice of the god himself. The Polynesians also looked on all kinds of natural wonders as signs from gods, including their dreams, and it was part of the priests’ work to interpret their meaning.
The priests also carried out the sacrifices to the gods. For most occasions, the gods were presented with offerings of particularly delicious food, such as pigs, turtles, and some kinds of fish. These were not wasted by the congregation, who ate them at a big feast when the prayers were over. But there was another kind of sacrifice which was much more sinister, even though the victims were also called “fish,” or the “fish of the gods.”

Somatoform symptoms in a Japanese community population: Prevalence and association with personality characteristics
Yutaka Ono, Kimio Yoshimura, Keita Yamauchi, Masahiro Asai, Jerome Young, Shigeki Fujihara, Toshinori Kitamura
Department of Health Policy and Management
To investigate the prevalence rates and characteristics of poorly explained or unexplained somatic symptoms in the general population of Japan, questionnaires were administered to 132 people aged 18 years or older in a small community in the city of Kofu. The participants were then interviewed by trained interviewers using a semi-structured interview schedule. Of the 132 participants in our study, 55 (41%) reported somatic symptoms. Of these 55, nine (16%) were diagnosed with a specific DSM-IV somatoform disorder. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the number of poorly explained symptoms among women was related to the respondent's score on Neuroticism. These data suggest that poorly explained or unexplained somatic symptoms are related to personality characteristics. Moreover, our analysis also revealed a gender difference in the pattern of these relationships. None of the respondents who reported medically unexplained somatic symptoms had sought psychiatric care.

Leverage focuses on a team led by former insurance investigator turned thief, Nate Ford (Hutton). His cohorts include Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), a brilliant grifter; Eliot Spencer (Kane), a retrieval specialist; Alec Hardison (Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard; and Parker (Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings. Together, they try to level the playing field for people whose lives have been destroyed by the rich and powerful.
The fifth season of Leverage opens to the promise of new adventure and uncharted territory in “The Very Big Bird Job”. Without even having time to settle into their new Portland, Ore., base of operations, the team is immediately swept into the path of a conniving shipping executive (guest star Carey Elwes) whose cheap techniques result in a tragic plane crash. Determined to put him behind bars before another merger is completed, the Leverage team formulates their most daring con ever involving theft of the actual Spruce Goose.
This season on Leverage, the team will be forced to face changing personal dynamics as the relationship between Parker and Hardison heats up, and Natecontinues to struggle with inner demons. Among their upcoming jobs, they will target a wealthy scientist who stole his former research partner’s discovery and ruined his reputation; an ex-hockey-player-turned-team-owner (guest star Treat Williams) who trades his love of the game for his love of money at the expense of his players’ health; a corrupt restaurateur who destroys lives in his pursuit of fame and money; and a corrupt businessman whose stock scams and money-laundering have him living a life of secrecy (guest star Matthew Lillard). In addition, the team will once again face their nemesis, insurance-investigator-turned-InterPOL-agent Jim Sterling (guest star Mark Sheppard).

Honors Program in Foreign Languages
for Indiana high school students
Traveling abroad for five to six weeks is a huge undertaking and guardians and their sons/daughters may have many questions and concerns. Over the years, the IUHPFL has created a safe and well-rounded program, customized for young adults. Many safeguards are in place to ensure student safety and well-being and all staff members are highly educated and trained.
The field of study abroad has grown significantly since its roots in the early 1900s. One of the pioneers of study abroad was Professor David Starr Jordan, 1851-1931, who became president of Indiana University at the age of 34. During 2010-2011, an estimated 274,000 U.S. students studied abroad. With so many U.S. students interested in going abroad, there have to be standards for study abroad programs.
The IUHPFL is part of a rich study abroad tradition at Indiana University. The IUHPFL is a unit of the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs (OVPIA), and thus advised by OVPIA in all policies and procedures. Not only does the IUHPFL work closely with OVPIA, but also directly with the Office of Overseas Study (OVST), also a unit of OVPIA, on Indiana University Bloomington’s campus. The IUHPFL follows OVPIA mandates. Guardians should be assured that not a decision is made about the IUHPFL without first seeking the counsel of colleagues at OVPIA who have many years of experience with international education as it applies to U.S. students.
Given that the program is a unit of OVPIA (who receives daily alerts from countries all over the world), the IUHPFL is well informed about any safety issues in the regions of our program sites. Additionally, the Managing Director for the program frequently makes site visits to all program sites to review the location and meet with personnel including host families.
With the exception of overnight excursions, students stay with their host families through the entire program duration. Host families are selected and matched individually to achieve the best possible arrangement for each student. All host families are required to follow a specific set of IUHPFL host family guidelines and provide a nurturing home environment.
Students and their guardians commit to a significant financial investment when participating in IUHPFL. However, IUHPFL offers in terms of quality of instruction, duration, depth of immersion and longterm investment.
Students and guardians reap benefits from having participated in IUHPFL that, according to many older alumni, last a lifetime.
On average, an IUHPFL alum tests into the fifth semester of his/her foreign language at Indiana University, Bloomington, bypassing up to 6 credit hours*!
IUHPFL alumni typically receive college grants and scholarships
Greater self-confidence, self-awareness and self-reliance
Zest for experiencing new cultures and becoming part of a global community
Sense of maturity, accomplishment and independence
Lifelong friendships, greater international understanding
The personal growth individuals who participate in the IUHPFL experience is priceless and cannot be measured in monetary terms.
*According to research conducted at Indiana University, Bloomington
Many participants receive financial support via one or several sources.
Financial Assistance is available to all applicants who qualify. Financial assistance through IUHPFL is a reduction in fees that does not need to be repaid. It is based on individual family need and solely on the pool of program applicants.
Grants and scholarships are provided to several sites and countries.
Fundraising and sponsorships require the student's investment of time, but are well worth the effort.
For many students and guardians, the study abroad experience is the first longterm absence from home. This separation is often harder for guardians than for students, because:
All students experience the same situation, which creates an incredible support system and source of camaraderie.
Classmates will likely become like family, given that everyone pledged the Honor Code and dedicated themselves to taking classes over the summer.
Instructors, having studied abroad themselves, provide daily guidance and support and relate to students' joys, struggles, and concerns.
Students meet with Support & Success groups: small group sessions dedicated specifically to help assimilate to the host culture and to share experiences of homesickness and culture shock.
Host families provide an excellent support system for students. Even if they have a different native language or culture, students are still capable of sharing emotions, and being happy, scared, confused, exhausted, etc. — moods students are likely to experience in the first few weeks of the program — basic human experiences all humans share, no matter where they are from in the world.
Students who play an instrument or pursue a specific sport are often able to continue while abroad as long as arrangements have been made ahead of time. Such activities often keep students busy and less focused on missing home.Students who wish to practice a sport or instrument while abroad are advised to include such information on the Host Family Placement Form, which is part of the IUHPFL's required acceptance materials.
It is, of course, natural to miss family and friends from the U.S. while with the program, but students may “connect” once weekly for one hour with loved ones back home via the Internet. Even though an hour does not seem like a long time, seeing an e-mail from a dear family member or friend, or even a picture or two, will go a long way to bringing comfort.

Gold for USA at the Lima 2019 Parapan American Games
Sep 1, 2019 | Americas, News, Tokyo 2020, Zone News
USA men captured the gold medal at Lima 2019 Parapan American Games yesterday with a stifling defense, as they defeated Canada, 76-43.
USA came out hot in the first five minutes of the first quarter. Co-Captains, Paye and Steve Serio contributed 11 of USA’s 18 points in the first quarter. Canada briefly closed the gap, capitalizing on a couple of sloppy turnovers from USA to finish the first quarter seven points down 18-11.

USA’s continued to put on the defensive pressure, in the second quarter extending their lead out to 12 points.
The second half would prove to be much the same. After each team went back and forth for the first three and a half minutes, Anderson committed his fourth foul of the game. The USA outscored Canada 26-9 in the third quarter, effectively putting things out of reach for Canada, and cruised to the victory and the gold medal.
USA Head Coach Ron Lykins feels his team played smart against Pat Anderson. “We’ve seen Pat take over games in the past, and if Canada was going to have a strong performance, we wanted to make sure that somebody else beat us. I felt our guys played him with great intensity, but they also played very smart.”
Both Canada and the USA had already secured their tickets to next year’s Paralympic Games.
USA’s Joshua Turek led all players with 18 points, while teammates Matthew Scott and Michael Paye had 13 and 10 points respectively. On the Canadian side Nik Goncin and Patrick Anderson made 12 and 11 points, respectively

Five fictional characters inspired by real people
By Jack Dowd in Writing posts
Some fictional characters are so incredible and outlandish, it is difficult to believe that they are based on real people. Yet, this is the case for some of our best loved characters. Here are five famous characters and their real life inspirations.
1) Sherlock Holmes- Joseph Bell.
Sherlock Holmes is arguably one of the most famous detectives in the world and a British icon. His stories, first penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published in 1887 have enchanted the world. Sherlock has been adapted into film, television, radio and his appeal continues in the modern day.
http://i.giphy.com/yr6mgdF0b9arC.gif
The real Sherlock Holmes was Doctor Joseph Bell. Doyle used to work for Doctor Bell as a clerk in Scotland and said Bell had Sherlock’s ability to reach conclusions by examining people or places and noticing the smallest detail. Bell however went on record to say he thought Doyle was Sherlock. Several other people have been suggested. Francis Smith was Leicester’s first private detective and a master of disguise. Sir Henry Littlejohn helped Doyle link medical science to criminal stories. The name Sherlock was borrowed from a famous cricketer and the surname Holmes was adapted from a local doctor called Doctor House whom Doyle was friends with. The newest element to be added to Sherlock (by element I mean characteristics like the deerstalker hat and the phrase “Elementary, my dear Watson,” which were both added to Sherlock mythos after the author’s death) is the Mind Palace technique. The idea of a Mind Palace can be traced back to Ancient Rome and if you want to build your own Mind Palace you can find help here.
2) Severus Snape- John Nettleship
One of the most infamous characters of recent years, many have envisioned Severus Snape (portrayed by the late Alan Rickman) marching down the dungeon corridors in Hogwarts, his black cloak swooping behind him ready to make his students lesson a misery. Who could inspire such a monster?
J K Rowling “loosely” based Snape of her old science teacher John Nettleship. He described himself as a “short-tempered chemistry teacher with long hair…[and a] gloomy, malodorous laboratory”. At first he was unhappy with the comparison (can you blame him?) but he later grew to accept it. His wife understood the link between him and Snape upon reading the Harry Potter books but was too scared to tell him. Sadly Nettleship died in 2011 of cancer but he shall live on in the form of Severus Snape.
http://i.giphy.com/tXPw7E3uy2z9S.gif
3) Popeye- Frank “Rocky” Fiegel
Popeye is a loveable children’s character who likes to smokes a pipe, brawling and loves spinach. Arguably he was the first comic book superheroe, he outdates Superman by several years.
http://i.giphy.com/1ZrclCM6lGNRC.gif
The inspiration for Popeye was a sailor called Frank Fiegel also known as Rocky. Like Popeye, he smoked a pipe and loved fighting. Apparently when the children saw him napping they would wake him up and laugh as he sprung awake, arms swinging ready for a fight. Sadly Rocky passed away in 1996 but his gravestone bears Popeye’s face.
4) James Bond/007- Various.
Bond. James Bond. The British super spy who has stared in twenty six films (at time of writing) loves his vodka martini’s, fast cars and pretty ladies. He is the alpha-male, the man every man wants to be. So who was the real James Bond?
http://i.giphy.com/nu4DN4nKos3m0.gif
Ian Fleming, the creator of 007, worked as a personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. As such he met many interesting people and incorporated many of their stories into his character. Bond had Flemming’s likes and dislikes, for example they shared a love of cigarettes and golf. Flemming based Bond’s looks off Hoagy Carmichael and the name James Bond came from the author of the book Birds of the West Indies because Flemming thought it sounded perfectly ordinary.
What about the stories that made Bond? Well, Duane Hudson spent almost all of World War Two behind enemy lines, survived several assassination attempts and blew up a ship single handedly. Flemming was with Dušan Popov when Dušan placed a $40,000 bet in a casino forcing a rival to withdraw. Forest Yeo-Thomas parashooted multiple times into Nazi controlled France, had dinner with the Nazis, used a variety of disguises, was captured by and escaped the Gestapo. Flemming was not short of inspiration.
5) Zorro- Joaquin Murrieta
Diego de la Vega was an aristocrat who flaunted his money, wrote poetry and hated violence. By night however he was Zorro, the vigilante who emerged from his cave to rob from the rich and give to the poor. He rode the fastest horse in the land, Tornado, was an expert in the use of whips and swords. He defended the right of the local citizens and battled the corrupt government. Batman was heavily based on Zorro, they both have a faithful servant, a fast means of transportation, the latest gadgets, a cave and the desire for justice.
The character of Zorro was based from Joaquin Murrieta the leader of a outlaw gang. The money they stole from the authorities was used to help feed the poor. When the gang was captured Joanquin’s head was removed from his body ending his career (and his life).
http://i.giphy.com/RUyeZ9EJYYmc.gif
Joaquin achieved something few others have. Like Robin Hood, Zorro was more than just a man, he was a symbol of hope to the people. He was an idea that has lived for centuries.

Happy Ever After, All
I WAS GOING TO leave this one alone, but what the hell. The Sun (uh huh) reports on our favourite gay penguins. They were the ones allegedly "quarrelling with another male over stolen eggs" - although we still haven't heard back from the interpreter regarding the veracity of that quote. Maybe they were quarrelling about getting into Noah's Ark. No? Well, I thought it was funny. Anyway, they've only gone and got married, haven't they? Yes, the saddlebacking bible nuts might not allow us to wed in California, but the Chinese will let penguins do it. So there. Oh yeah, and best wishes to the happy couple. I hope it all works out.

So There Are Some Perks To Being King, Then
REASONS WHY WE love The Tudors: 1). Sexy men being naughty. 2). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. 3). Mad bad dames (or rather, damsels). 4). Man on man action. 5). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. 6). Big swords. 7). Peter O'Toole's Pope. 9). How everyone's Irish and pretending they're not. 10). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers taking his clothes off. That just about covers it. And this new advert for the forthcoming season three, with King Henry VIII sitting atop a throne of naked hunks, hasn't exactly dampened my enthusiasm... Picture: Towleroad
EARLIER THIS MONTH, we learned that the Pet Shop Boys will release their latest album (remember those?) in March. The album art for Yes is now available. "[It] has been designed by long-standing PSB collaborators, Farrow. Eleven squares of colour - one square for each track - form an affirmative tick on the front cover," says the boy's official site. Popjustice, who previewed the album, comment on it too. Previously: Pet Shop Boys In March
"I DON'T BELIEVE that suicide is a sustainable business practice. I think that Baader Meinhof went away, the IRA went away, this will go away." Er, what? WHAT? Those are the words of the American Managing Director of London Underground, Tim O'Toole. He was addressing the Home Affairs Committee. Now, I can sort of see what he's saying, but really, only an American (and really, I love Americans) could use the phrase "sustainable business practice" in relation to terrorism. Dubya probably would have said something like it too, except the word sustainable isn't in his vocabulary. If he'd been fed the words, he'd have ended up saying something like "suspect business practice, ya'all." The full story is here.

Don't Mess With The Boys From The Dorm
THE WHEELS OF justice do indeed turn slowly.
Way, way back in May 2007, there was something of a hoo-ha when the location of the CocoDorm was exposed on national television.
The hack, er, I mean reporter, said: "It's a normal South Florida neighbourhood. Families live here, kids play here, there are renovated homes, even a Catholic church - all in the shadow of the new Miami." There are renovated homes! Good god. That's an astonishing fact. I can use that in awkward conversations. The reporter goes on, "In this house... we discovered they're operating a hardcore, live internet sex business. Cameras installed in rooms, where customers around the world can pay to watch the men who live here have sex with each other."
That's my favourite bit of the clip "...have sex WITH each other." Yes, WITH each other, kids. The reporter emphasises that important point with just the right measure of disgust. He probably practised in front of the mirror.
The authorities were spurred into action, notices were filed, legal briefs flew about, and Shorty J's briefs continued to come off - INSIDE the Dorm. Yes ladies and gentlemen, they came OFF.
This unhappy tale of bigotry and haters has a happy ending though, with various blogs, including SGL Café and MOC Blog, today reporting that Flava Works successfully sued the City of Miami.
So the men inside the Dorm can continue to have sex WITH each other, for the benefit of you, I, and all humanity.

...out of time
"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there..."
I STUMBLED ACROSS this old advert a few days ago and can't shake the image from my head. It reminded me of another advert from 2001, prior to September 11, in The Source magazine. I think it was for a computer game, and it showed a devastated Manhattan with the World Trade Center in ruins (but still standing)... Maybe we should all pay a lot more attention to advertising. Fortune tellers watch your backs.

Lamya Is Dead
THE SINGER LAMYA has died.
The Oman-born artist was raised in London and Egypt, and classically trained as an opera singer. She is best known for Empires, the 2002 hit from her debut album Learning From Falling.
Lamya passed away on 8th January after suffering a heart attack.
I didn't know about Lamya before today, but after seeing the video for Empires, I'll be looking for her music. Make sure you watch the clip of this strange, hypnotic and utterly gorgeous number.

EVERY TUESDAY, A FORGOTTEN VIDEO CLASSIC, AND WHY YOU NEED IT IN YOUR LIFE...
THERE AREN'T MANY openly gay artists in the music industry, and fewer still openly gay black or Asian artists. Hardly any of them gain mainstream success.
(As an aside, I'd argue that an openly gay black artist is more likely to be successful than one who is white. Kele Okereke, lead singer of Bloc Party, gets away with it; his sexuality goes seemingly unnoticed and passing without comment. Here's the thing. One of my closest friends is particularly fond of aggressively pursuing seemingly straight white boys - in particular, macho, working class lads like builders - and using his black thug boy persona [laced with charm] to first befriend them, and then slyly seduce them. I don't necessarily approve - it's the predatory homosexual cliche, and the obsession with "turning" a straight boy maddens me - but nevertheless it's an amusing spectacle to witness unfolding. These straight white boys are intrigued, confused and probably flattered by something that's totally alien to them...)
One openly gay, black artist who gained mainstream success in the 90s was David McAlmont, notching up hits as the voice of McAlmont & Butler. His solo career has been less successful, but generated one of the most gorgeous, and important albums of the decade, A Little Communication.
Before that lush, lost classic, there was his collaboration with David Arnold. It's gorgeous. McAlmont's voice is gorgeous. And oh boy, in this video, McAlmont is gorgeous. The camp is turned up to the max, and fem is redefined. And the lips, my God, the lips... Simmering masculinity and heaving pecs have their place, but sometimes you just want a sleek, pouting fem boy in a white catsuit to get wild with.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Diamonds Are Forever...

Tiny Spaceships, Long Scarves and Robot Dogs
THIS IS SO CUTE I had to let you in on it.
Dusty Abell has created this comic menagerie of 70s, mostly American, sci-fi fun. Doctor Who takes centre stage, but I wonder how many Americans recognise the show's icons? And strictly speaking its not a 70s show as such, having been born in 1963.
It's a shame that the Liberator, Orac and Servalan are absent - but I don't think Americans ever took to the nihilistic soul of Blake's 7...

THE IMAGIST ASKS why "Why Has There Been No Black Male 'Supermodel' Since Tyson Beckford?"
Is that strictly true? There might not be one top dog supermodel now, but isn't Tyson Beckford remembered as THE black male supermodel precisely because he was the first black male supermodel?
Names like Wendell Lissimore, Oraine Barrett, Dominique Hollington, Marcus Lloyd, Salieu Jalloh, Shaun Sutton and Marcus Patrick are all familiar names, and they regularly appear on these pages.
Rather than being the last of his kind, as The Imagist suggests, I'd argue that Beckford was merely the first of his kind...

The Nude Book
BOY, HAVE I GOT a book for you. Photographer Alex-Ade Ogundiran has put together The Nude Book, which showcases some of the most astonishingly beautiful images I've seen in a long time. "Alex transforms models into sex symbols by blurring the lines between raw good looks and perfection," says his bio. "You will be enticed and allured by the presence of each model. My goal is to take you through cycles of maximum sex-perience while flipping through the pages of this coffee table book." Damn! Sign me up for that trip! "Have you seen ripped, shredded, tight bodies before? These beautiful models that are not average, each come in unique packages that keep your adrenaline pumping while enjoying the wondrous nudity of the black frame." Gosh... "This is a book to relax all tensions when loneliness sets in on a Friday night. When your boyfriend is away, it's time to get steamy looking through this well put together presentation of the most beautiful boys." Oh my. Talk about a sales pitch. And as if the hype (which the pictures more than live up to) wasn't enough, then all proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Campala Foundation.
Be Afraid. I Know I Am
TOWLEROAD REPORTS ON someone in a show I can't bare breaking his penis. Well, this can't pass without comment, really, can it? Boys, boys, boys, we don't really know much about our part (as seminal R&B group Ultimate Kaos referred to it in their last ever single, My Lover) do we? Did you know, for example, that "your penis is shaped like a boomerang. Just like you don't see all of a big oak tree above ground, you don't see the root of your penis tucked up inside your pelvis and attached to your pubic bone." You learn something new everyday. And here's what all the fuss is about: "There is no 'penis bone,' but you can break your penis all the same. It's called penile fracture, and it's not a subtle injury. When it happens, there's an audible pop or snap [and] the penis turns black and blue. And there's terrible pain." Well, that's just terrifying. I wonder if that's what Haydon was referring to in his unfathomable lyric "if you touch / my part / you'll hear a nasty sound..."
AN INSURANCE COMPANY (boo! hiss!) has come up with an alternative Tube map, showing the number of steps walked by the average person between Tube stations. Does London have such a thing as an average walker? People invariably hare about like storm troopers on crack (this is good) or shuffle along like stoned tortoises (this is bad). Never mind pedometers, what I want is a cattle prod. The purpose of the map is to encourage lazy people to exercise - the British Heart Foundation recommends we walk 10,000 steps per day, which will help protect against bad things like stroke, diabetes and cancer (the downside is you'll inhale lots of nasties from traffic, get harassed by chuggers, and might be run over one of the capital's many psychopathic bus drivers).
A BIG, BIG HUG and a wet kiss (with tongue, in Tré Xavier's case) for those of you who have decided to "Follow This Blog", particularly as many of you are leaders in the field. Each new follower is a huge boost, and my gratitude is genuinely heartfelt. Some of you I've admired for years - the aforementioned Tré Xavier and his vivacious X-Ray Vision (not to mention his other highly stimulating work...), Taylor Siluwé and his excellent, essential SGL Café, and the intimate The Kabuki Play: Romances. L.M. Ross, author of literary feast The Long Blue Moan, also joins us - I discovered his two blogs only yesterday, and highly recommend them both. There's new friends too - Wonder Man's wonderful Maybe It's Just Me, the thought-provoking TheGayte-Keeper, gorgeous Flight of the Scorpion, the informative Chuma Spirit Magazine, the yummy Fred Derf Show, and both Par de doi and Mariposo (I wish I spoke French - the blogs look fantastic). Last, but by no means least, the too too cute Justin and his HIV Journal, and my MIA friend Sanya with his adventures in Spain, Sanya in España. Thanks to all of you. I hope you like it here.

The result? A disaster of biblical proportions. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
Still... I'm sure he knows what he's doing...
A Potato and A Pointless Gash
THIS HAS TO BE the funniest mess I've read in time. In fact, it's probably funnier than watching it. MOC Blog presents a minute by minute account of the interview between Pointless Gash Tyra Banks and Why Would Anyone Pay For This? porn star Kurt Wild. Rather them than me. I tried to find a better picture of Kurt Wild than the one MOC have used. I did a Google search and realised MOC had, in fact, used the best picture of the anaemic twerp. Doh! A potato it is then. As funny as the MOC review is, I'd much rather have seen an interview between Wild and gay-for-pay detractor Tré Xavier. Now wouldn't that be something...
EastEnders: The Drinking Game
WELL GEE WHIZ kids, ain't this just the best thing ever? Digital Spy have come up with a game that combines two of my favourite things, EastEnders and drinking! What a lark! Who's up for it?
Rule One - Down a shot each time Dot Branning reels off a quote from the Bible. Rule Two - Make yourself a dirty cocktail if you manage to figure out the family tree that connects Pat Butcher to pretty much everyone in the show. Rule Three - Knock back a swig of rum each time the Argee Bargee curryhouse or Fargo's restaurant is mentioned. Rule Four - Have a double and mixer of choice each time a character cracks into some scotch when they're angry/upset or some food starts burning in The Caff to indicate stress and despair. Rule Five - Chug some beers each time Abi Branning starts whining about wanting her parents back together or she discusses her pets. Rule Six - Swig some whiskey if you spot Phil Mitchell looking red-faced, angry and panting like a dog that has been locked in a car boot for a week. Rule Seven - Have a vodka and mixer of choice each time Big Mo mentions Fat Elvis or Tracy is asked to man the bar during a crisis. Rule Eight - Each time Peggy Mitchell/Pat Butcher proclaims the virtues of the "faaaarrmily", drink some absinthe. Rule Nine - If you spot Ricky pulling a face as if he's just produced a really nasty smell when he is trying to indicate confusion, anger or emotional torment, crack into the vodka. Rule Ten - Have two fingers of ale each time Frank Butcher's plaque or Arthur Fowler's bench are shown on screen. Rule Eleven - Keep drinking your beer whenever Archie Mitchell is sat at the end of the bar, Ben Mitchell is spotted whimpering on the stairs, or Heather Trott is filmed stuffing her face with cheese. Rule Twelve - Mix all the remaining drinks together and down in one if a character leaves via a black cab "up West" or to visit another character e.g. 'Chelle in America or Kathy in Saaartthh Africa.

Bob May, The Robot, Is Dead
BEING A YOUNG boy in the late eighties meant a number of things: Thundercats, BMX, Lego pirates, wishing Theo from The Cosby Show was my big brother (er... was that just me?) and lazy Sunday afternoons watching knackered old American science fiction shows like The Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants and Lost In Space. Except to an eight your old they weren't knackered, they were imaginative and a little magical. Kids don't really pick up on things like lazy plotting, dubious acting and increasinly dodgy special effects (unless a mean-spirited adult points them out and shatters the illusion...) Bob May was the actor who played the Robot in Lost In Space, commonly referred to as a "bubble-headed booby" by the deliciously camp Dr Smith (the Robot that is, not Bob May). "He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played all-American mom Maureen Robinson in the show. "It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see Irwin Allen about the part. Allen said, 'If you can fit in the suit you've got the job." Bob May passed away on Sunday. He was 69. Thanks for the memories, Mr May. This eight year old loved you.
A Big Mixed Race Family
THERE ARE NOW so many people in mixed-race relationships (or interracial relationships if you're American) in the UK that one in ten children are part of a mixed race family, and some ethnic groups (Afro-Caribbeans) are expected to disappear.
Half of British men with Caribbean heritage are in a relationship with someone of another race. The figure is less for black African men, with one in five in a relationship with someone of another race.
Initially, this might sound like a good thing, but is there a downside? Certainly, the disappearance of the long established Afro-Caribbean community isn't welcome news. And the Equality and Human Rights Commission had this warning: "We need to be alert to tensions within communities that may be exacerbated by economic downturn, and to remain vigilant against discrimination and divisiveness - particularly across boundaries of faith..."
As someone who's only ever been in mixed-race relationships since the age of seventeen, stories like these really resonate - and to my ears, it's a good news story. Mixed race couplings shouldn't be unusual, or raise eyebrows, but they continue to provoke heated debate on all sides, with phrase like selling out and fetish still flung about.
The figures also prove something I've always suspected; that Afro-Caribbean men are more open minded about relationships with people outside their race, as opposed to African men, who are not...

Ready or Not (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A deadly game with her in-laws
Posted on December 2, 2019 by kaist455
The heroine of “Ready or Not” faces a lot more risks and troubles than she ever imagined, and that is the main source of naughty pleasure in this morbid black comedy film. Poor girl, she only wants to present herself well in front of her groom’s eccentric wealthy family, but, alas, she happens to pick a very dangerous game for them, and now she must play the game for surviving her increasingly perilous wedding night.
At first, everything looks mostly fine for Grace (Samara Weaving), a young woman who is soon going to be the wife of Daniel (Mark O’Brien), the second son of a very rich family who has prospered a lot in their board game manufacturing business for several generations. Daniel assures Grace that nothing will go wrong during their wedding, and Grace does not look that worried about encountering Daniel’s family, but it is very clear to us that some of Daniel’s family members are not so pleased about accepting Grace, who do not look that good enough to be their new family member in their viewpoint.
Anyway, Tony Le Domas (Henry Czerny) and his wife Becky (Andie MacDowell) respect their son’s decision, and the wedding ceremony is soon followed by the evening family meeting in their big family mansion, where Grace gets to know a bit more about Daniel’s family members and the long history of their successful board game manufacturing business. Not so surprisingly, Daniel’s family is quite serious about playing games, and Grace is not bothered at all when she is notified that there will be a ritual where she will be demanded to pick a game to be played by her and them after midnight.
Of course, as shown from Daniel’s concerned face full of anxiety and hesitation, Daniel and his family are not entirely honest about what they are going to do with Grace. When they finally instruct her to pick a game out of an antique box associated with a legendary benefactor of their family business, they all look utterly solemn and serious, and then they are all quite alarmed when her random pick turns out to be “Hide and Seek”.
Because of the opening scene in the film, we already have a pretty good idea on what will happen sooner or later, but Grace still does not notice anything strange from her in-laws. After being told that all she has to do is hiding from them till the next morning, she willingly participates in the game without any suspicion, but it does not take much time for her to realize how serious her in-laws are about playing their game. While Daniel understandably refuses to join the game, all of his family members are ready to win the game by any means necessary, and they are equipped with various kinds of lethal objects to be used for the game while also assisted a bit by their loyal family butler, who shuts off all the surveillance cameras in the mansion for fair play but locks up every exit in the mansion.
As our unfortunate heroine tries to survive this dangerous circumstance as much as she can, the movie cheerfully doles out a number of sudden moments to shock and jolt us. While you may cringe a lot during these violent moments, they are mostly executed well with sharp comic timing at least, and I was particularly tickled by a grisly but outrageous moment resulted from the clumsy handling of a crossbow.
In the meantime, the screenplay by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy gradually raises what is being at stake for Grace and other characters. While Grace becomes more determined to survive as going through several grueling moments including the one associated into a certain underground space, it turns out later in the story that her in-laws are not playing this game for mere sport, and we come to see more of how conflicted Daniel is. While he wants to help his wife survive as much as he can, he may have to give up everything in his life including his family in the end, and he hesitates more even though he does not like many of them much.
Under the competent direction of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the movie continues to hold our attention even when it is approaching to its eventual finale, and Samara Weaving, who previously played a notable supporting role in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (2017), functions well as a plucky heroine we can root for, and she is also supported well by a bunch of colorful supporting players, who all have a ball with playing their broad archetype characters. While Mark O’Brien is effective as a nice guy constantly hesitating between love and family, Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell enjoy every second of their juicy moments, and so do the other main cast members including Adam Brody, Melanie Scrofano, Kristian Bruun, Elyse Levesque, John Ralston, and Nicky Guadagni, who, as Daniel’s stern aunt, always grips our attention with her sourly disapproving stare.
Although it is not that twisty and devious compared to other similar films such as “Sleuth” (1972) and “Deathtrap” (1982), “Ready or Not” still entertains us well on the whole, and I enjoyed many of darkly humorous scenes in the film. Yes, you can instantly see what you are going to get from it, but it will not disappoint you at all as providing a fair share of naughty fun and excitement, and you will be satisfied enough in the end.

In this paper, the results will be presented of an experimental investigation on the overall effects of trace quantities of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in hydrogen on the performance of a single molten carbonate fuel cell. Involving two primary research centres in Italy and South Korea, the campaign is being carried out with the objective to establish the boundary conditions for durable MCFC operation in the presence of a key contaminant like H2S, in view of extending this knowledge to operation of a MCFC stack on biogas from anaerobic digestion. To achieve this, many hours of long-term experimentation are required and the collaboration of ENEA and KIST aims to make critical mass in this respect. Before looking at the combined effect of H2S in biogas, an experimental survey is carried out of the occurring mechanisms in synthetic, laboratory gas (hydrogen and carbon dioxide) and the possibilities for measurement and diagnostics. The extremely limited quantities of H2S involved combined with the multitude of correlated effects make correct assessment of the mechanisms and the fate of H2S in an MCFC extremely difficult, so that several measurements techniques have been applied. The results obtained from the two laboratories are compared and analysed for future conversion into a schematic model of poisoning conditions.

Summary Mechanistic aspects of the hydrogenation of ketones employing cationic rhodium(I) complexes [Rh((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]ClO, (NBD = norbomadiene) and [Rh(CyDIOP)(NBD)]CIOd (CyDIOP = 2,3-O-isopropylidene2,3-dihydroxy-l,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane) and a neutral complex, “Rh(CyDIOP)Cl” were studied. The cationic complex-catalyzed hydrogenation of the poor coordinating simple ketone substrates followed a rate equation ‘a = k,,,[RhJ[ketone],[H,],, and showed an unusual negative temperature dependence of the reaction rate. The hydrogenation of the chelating substrate PhCOCONHCH,Ph followed a rate equation r0 = k,,[Rh][H,], with the activation parameters E, 5.51 kcal mol-l, A’H*scs 4.90 kcal mol-‘, ASssOs - 32.0 e.u. ([Rh((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(iPr)2)(NBD)]C104 catalyst); E, 5.36 kcal mol-‘, AHS3a8 4.75 kcal mol-‘, AS*30s - 30.9 e.u. ([Rh(CyDIOP)(NBD)]ClO~ catalyst). For the neutral complex-catalyzed hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph, the rate equation r0 = [Rh]0.25[ketone],[H,]0 was obtained with the activation parameters (E, 3.99 kcal mol-‘, AH*3,,8 3.38 kcal mol-‘, AS*30s - 43.0 e.u.). Several intermediate complexes in the cationic complexcatalyzed hydrogenation were also detected spectroscopically or isolated. On the basis of these observations, a general reaction scheme was proposed.
Introduction Transition metal complexes, especially rhodium(I) phosphine complexes, which are extremely active for catalytic hydrogenation of olefinic double bonds have been found and extensive mechanistic studies have been made [l]. A few phosphine rhodium complexes have been claimed to be active for ketone hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen [2-51. According to our experience, however, most

of the rhodium hydrogenation catalysts, which contain monophosphine or diphosphine ligands carrying aryl group(s) on the phosphorous atom, show only moderate to poor activity for hydrogenation of carbonyl groups [6]. Grey et al. have observed high catalytic activity in some anionic ruthenium arylphosphine complexes for hydrogenation of various carbonyl compounds including esters [7]. We have also developed highly active rhodium systems based on fully alkylated diphosphine ligands such as R,P(CH,).PR, (1) [6] and alkyl analogs of DIOP (2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-l,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) (2) [8,9].

or [Rh(2)(diene)]+ exhibits a high catalytic activity for hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds. In the absence of systematic mechanistic studies in this field it will be of interest to see: (1) What is the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle for a particular substrate or a catalyst? (2) How does the nature of ligands or the charge of the whole complex affect the rate? And (3) could the nature of substrate or of the catalyst complex alter the entire kinetic aspects? In order to find answers to these questions we have undertaken kinetic studies employing a variety of carbonyl compounds. The catalyst precursor was mainly cationic complexes [Rh(diphosphine)(diene)]+ but a neutral form “RhCl(diphosphine)” was also tested for some ketones. Experimental Although we have not had a hazardous accident with rhodium perchlorate complexes described below, we recommend to avoid high temperature whenever and wherever they are involved. Preparations of diphosphine ligands and their metal complexes were carried out under a pure nitrogen atmosphere. ‘H NMR (100 MHz), i3C{ ‘H} NMR (25 MHz), and 31P{ ‘H} NMR (40.5 MHz) spectra were recorded on a JEOL FX-100. Tetramethylsilane (‘H and 13C NMR) and 5% phosphoric acid in methanol-d, (31P NMR) were used as standards and downfield shifts from the standards were taken as positve. IR spectra were run with a Hitachi Infrared Spectrophotometer 295. Materials. Transition metal complexes, [Rh(NBD)Cl], (NBD = norbornadiene) [lo], [Rh(CsH,,),Cl], [ll], [Ir(COD)Cl], (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) [12], and diisopropylphosphine [13] were prepared according to the literature methods. (-)CyDIOP (2, R = cyclohexyl) [8] and [Rh(( -)-CyDIOP)(NBD)]ClO, [S] were also prepared as described previously. Methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl t-butyl ketone, acetophenone, trifluoromethyl phenyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone, cyclooctanone, and cyclododecanone were of reagent grade and distilled under nitrogen before use. Benzophenone of reagent grade was used without further purification.
Preparation of (i-Pr)I P(CH,), P(i-Pr), To a suspension of lithium diisopropylphosphide in ether and n-hexane mixture prepared from diisopropylphosphine (7.7 g, 65 mmol) and n-butyllithium (1.6 M, 67 mmol) was added under ice-cooling 1,3-dichloropropane (3.5 g, 31 mmol) during 10 min. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 h at ambient temperature and then heated to reflux for 30 min. After addition of deoxygenated water (25 ml), the organic layer was separated and the water layer was extracted with ether. The combined ether extract was dried over magnesium sulfate. After removal of the solvents, the residue was distilled in vacua to give the diphosphine as a colorless liquid, 7.3 g (84%), b.p. 95-9S°C/0.01 mmHg. 31P NMR (THF): 6 1.21 ppm(s). Preparation of (i-Pr)2 P(CH,), P(i-Pr), The diphosphine was similarly prepared from lithium diisopropylphosphide and 1,4-dichlorobutane as a colorless liquid in 96% yield, b.p. 102-103°C/0.01 mmHg. “P NMR (THF): 6 2.04 ppm(s). Preparation of [Rh((i-Pr), P(CH,), P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]ClO, To a stirred suspension of [Rh(NBD)Cl], (224 mg, 0.49 mmol) in acetone (15 ml) was added silver perchlorate (211 mg, 1.0 mmol). After ca. 30 min the resulting pale yellow solution was filtered from silver chloride. To this solution was added an acetone solution (5 ml) of (i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr), (267 mg, 0.97 mmol). The resulting deep-red solution was stirred at ambient temperature for about 3 h. The solvent being removed in vacua, the resulting orange-red residue was recrystallized from acetone/ether mixture to give deep-red crystals (496 mg, 90% yield), m.p. 153O C(dec., in a nitrogen filled capillary).

Preparation of [Ir((i-Pr), P(CH,), P(i-Pr),)(COD)]PF, To an orange-red suspension of [Ir(COD)Cl], (0.12 g, 0.19 mmol) in acetone (5 ml) was added solid ammonium hexafluorophosphate (70 mg, 0.42 mmol) and subsequently an acetone solution (5 ml) of (i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr>, (0.16 g, 0.46 mmol). The initial orange-red suspension changed immediately into a red solution containing colorless precipitates. The resulting suspension was stirred at ambient temperature further for about 1 h. The red solution was filtered from the colorless precipitates and concentrated to ca. l-l.5 ml. Ether was slowly added to the red solution until the clear red solution just began to become cloudy and the mixture was allowed to stand at 0 ‘C overnight. The dark brown-red crystals precipitated, were collected, washed with ether, and dried in vacua to give the pure complex, 0.15 g (56% yield), m.p. 199-201’C(dec., in a nitrogen filled capillary).

Preparation of N-benzylphenylglyoxylamide, PhCOCONHCH, Ph To an ethanol solution (7.5 ml) of ethyl phenylglyoxalate (5.5 g, 30.9 mmol) was added benzylamine (3.6 g, 34 mmol) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h. On addition of n-hexane, a colorless solid of the amide precipitated and was recrystallized from benzene/n-hexane mixture to give the pure compound, 4.6 g (61% yield), m.p. 101-102°C.

Kinetic rnea~~r~rn~nts
The reaction kinetics were followed by measuring the initial rate of uptake of hydrogen gas at a constant total pressure. The reaction flask of ca. 20 ml having a side neck covered with a rubber septum is connected to a gas buret via capillary glass tubes of 1 mm 0. The reaction vessel has a fairly large flat bottom ( 0 40 mm) to facilitate efficient stirring with a teflon coating stirring bar. When combined with the use of small volumes of solution in a relatively large vessel (2 ml in 20 ml), the apparatus prevents a diffusion control due to slow dissolution of dihydrogen. The reaction vessel is immersed in a thermostatted bath up to the neck. The temperature was maintained within i O.l” C. After the whole system was thoroughly replaced with dihydrogen the substrate solution (1.8 ml) was introduced with a syringe (in case of solid carbonyl compounds, the substrate was weighed into the reaction flask). The flask was immersed into the thermostatted bath and allowed to equilibrate by stirring the solution under hydrogen for about 20 min. After adjusting the total pressure at 1 atm, a catalyst solution (0.2 ml), which was pm-equilibrated to a desired temperature, was syringed through the rubber septum and the hydrogen absorption recorded. The reproducibility of the kinetic measurements is over about 95%. For measurements of hydrogen pressure dependence a desired dihydrogen partial pressure was obtained by mixing hydrogen and helium in a rubber balloon in a required volume ratio. The solubilities of dihydrogen in methanol at various temperatures were taken from the literature 1141 and those in THF were estimated according to the method described in the literature [15] and corrected for the vapor pressure of THF [16]. The reaction order was determined by plotting logarithms of the initial rates against logarithms of the initial concentration of each reactant keeping the concentrations of other reactants constant. Results and Discussion Rate dependence on substrates
Employing [Bh((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]ClO, as the catalyst precursor, we first examined the initial rate varying the substrate. Under the atmospheric pressure

of dihydrogen the catalytic reaction of most of the carbonyl compounds we tested proceeds with reasonable rates in MeOH at ambient or slightly higher temperature (Tables 1 and 2). The rate trend Me&O > MeCO(i-Pr) > MeCO(t-Bu) presents two facets; (i) the enhanced u-donating properties of carbonyl oxygen lone pairs cannot be a favorable factor for the catalytic rate as the steric bulk of the R group in MeCOR would not hinder the u-coordination (3) per se and (ii) the apparent steric effect may then be ascribed to the hindrance in the intramolecular nucleophilic hydride migration (4) since the LUMO of a ketone molecule slants toward the alkyl substituents [17].

The facile reduction of PhCOPh and PhCOCF, (Table 1) is of interest as it implies dispensability of an enol form for the hydrogenation.

a metal center occurs when the ketone has a highly electronegative group like CF, and simultaneously the metal center is electron rich as in Pt’, Pd’, or Ir’ [18].

strong affinity of a substrate to the catalyst metal does not lead to the fast rate. The results shown in Table 2 suggest that the overall rate is not simply governed by the 7r* level of ketones [19]. The rate trend observed for the hydrogenation of cyclic ketones cyclohexanone >> cyclopentanone > cycloheptanone > cyclododecanone > cyclooctanone is very similar to that reported for the sodium borohydride reduction [20] or the addition of cyanide anion [21], a trend which has been explained in terms of a steric strain, so-called 1-strain. A neutral Rh’ complex was tested as catalyst for hydrogenation of several ketones. The complex was prepared in situ from [Rh(C,H,,),Cl]2 and 2 mol of (-)-CyDIOP 2 (R = cyclohexyl) in THF. The neutral complex showed a very low activity for hydrogenation of simple ketones such as cyclohexanone or benzophenone (in THF at ambient conditions). cr-Ketoamide, PhCOCONHCH,Ph, was hydrogenated rapidly in THF by the neutral Rh’ complex under the atmospheric pressure of hydrogen at ambient temperature. These results, when combined with those obtained with the cationic complex, suggest that the coordination of the simple ketone to the Rh’ center in a neutral complex is much less favorable compared to the Rh’ center in a cationic form. In addition to the charge effect, the solvent effect may also be operating. The neutral complex-catalyzed reaction was carried out in THF which is a rather strongly coordinating solvent whereas the cationic complex-catalyzed reaction was in the weakly coordinating methanol.

With respect to the three reactants, H,, ketone. and the catalyst, the concentration effects on the initial rate r, were determined independently. In the case of cyclohexanone and benzophenone, the plots of logarithms of r, against logarithms of concentration of the rhodium(l) complex [ti] (0.3-1.0 mA4 for cyclohexanone; 1.0-3.0 mM for benzophenone), and the initial concentration of substrate [H,], (0.3-1.0 atm for both ketone substrates) and [ketone], (0.03-0.2 M for cyclohexanone; 0.1-0.3 M for benzophenone) produced a clear first order dependence (within + 8%) for all the three reactants. Thus the rate law, as far as the initial stage is concerned, can be expressed by eq. 1. Unexpectedly the rates for both r0 = kobs[Rhl[Hzlo[ketonel”
substrates exhibit unusual thermal behaviors as shown in Fig. 2. We will discuss this problem later. The initial rate of catalytic hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCHzPh with [Rh((iPr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]+ as catalyst was found to be independent of the substrate concentration following eq. 2. Ligation of this ketoamide to the [Rh(diphosphine)]+ center (eq. 3) is assisted through chelation as will be described. The

rate of substrate complex formation (in THF at 25 o C) was too fast to measure accurately. In the presence of an excess of the ketoamide the substrate complex formation appears to be virtually complete since the “P NMR spectrum indicated [ Rh(diphosphine)(MeOH),]

the absence of free [Rh(diphosphine)(MeOH),1+ (vide infra). Accordingly the rate law (eq. 2) can be understood in terms of these favorable kinetic as well as thermodynamic aspects of the substrate-Rh’ complex formation. The catalytic hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph by [Rh((i-Pr)2P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]+ provided activation parameters given in Table 3. All the results so far described were obtained with [Rh((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(iPr)2)(NBD)]C104 as catalyst. An analogous 1,4-diphosphine CyDIOP 2 (R = cyclohexyl) is available. This ligand enables us to achieve a high enantioselectivity (78% e.e.) in the asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation of ketoamides [9,22]. Owing to its constrained carbon frame work bearing two PCy, groups, the diphosphine chelation is presumably secured during the catalysis; otherwise the high degree of chiral recognition could not be explained. On the contrary, the diphosphine (iPr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr), has no such a device, and the 1,Cchelation is not secured. Accordingly it was deemed of interest to compare kinetic details between these two ligands. The rate equation for the hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph with [Rh(CyDIOP)(NBD)]+ was found to be exactly the same (eq. 2). Further, the activation parameters are also comparable as shown in Table 3. It is very likely, as these results suggest, that (i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr), functions as a chelating diphosphine during the catalytic cycles. The rate equation was also obtained for the neutral complex “Rh(CyDIOP)Cl”catalyzed hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph in THF. The initial rate showed first-order dependence on the initial concentration of both ketone and H,, but a fractional order for the Rh* concentration (eq. 4). This may be derived from some r. = kobs[Rh]o~25[H2]o[ketone]o

aggregation of rhodium(I) species resulting in a partial formation of an active form. We have not exploited this kinetic aspect further but merely measured the activation parameters (Table 3). They differ significantly from those obtained with discrete cationic complexes. It is noteworthy that the neutral complex-catalyzed hydrogenation of the chelating substrate PhCOCONHCH,Ph shows the first order dependence of rates on substrate concentration (eq. 4) whereas the rate is independent on that in the cationic complex-catalyzed reaction (eq. 2). These features again reflect the coordination capability of the Rhr center toward the substrate. Namely, the substrate coordination to a Rhr center in the cationic complex is more facile than that in the neutral form. The substrate complex formation should then be one of the most important processes governing the entire kinetic feature.
Substrate complexes and intermediates The substrates are H, and ketones. We were able to isolate or spectroscopically detected both of these substrate complexes. Although oxidative addition of H, to cationic Rhi diphosphine complexes has been postulated in the hydrogenation catalysis [23], the adduct has never been isolated or observed [24]. In fact, treatment of [Rh(diphosphine)(diene)]+ with H2 under atmospheric pressure in methanol merely results in [Rh(diphosphine)(MeOH),]+ when the diphosphine ligand is bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane [lk], chiraphos (2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) [In], or binap (2,2’-bis(diphenylphosphino)-l,l’-binaphthyl) [25]. Note that all these ligands carry at least two phenyl groups on each phosphorous atom. The reaction of H, with [Rh((i-Pr),P(CH,),,P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]ClO, (n = 3,4) in MeOH (1 atm, 25°C) was very fast until 2 mol of H, were consumed to give [Rh((i-Pr)2P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(MeOH),]+ which was detected by the 31P NMR (6 55.39 ppm, d. J(Rl-P) 196.3 Hz for n = 3; 6 62.11 ppm, d, J(Rh-P) 205.1 Hz for n = 4). The subsequent absorption of 1 mol of H2 occurs at a much slower rate (l-2 days at ambient temperature). The hydride product can be isolated as pale yellow or yellowish orange crystals from the methanol solution. Similarly a yellow hydride product was obtained from [Rh(CyDIOP)(NBD)]ClO,. Their relevant IR and rH NMR data are summarized in Table 4. The elemental analysis and the spectral data point to the formation “[Rh(H),(diphosphine)]ClO,“, which contains no coordinated methanol molecules. However, we found the complex to be polymeric as evidenced by its ‘lP NMR which shows a complex higher order spectrum [26] and also by its low solubility in organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers. So far we have been unable to obtain single crystals of this polymeric complex suitable for an X-ray analysis. The molecular structure must await further investigations. Coordination of a ketone to Rhr was studied mainly by 31P NMR spectroscopy. In the case of simple ketones such as PhCOPh or cyclohexanone, the doublet signal (6 46.74 ppm, J(Rh-P) 204.1 Hz) of 31P NMR of [Rh(CyDIOP)(MeOH),]+ in MeOH did not produce any significant change upon addition of an excess of the ketones. In contrast, when PhCOCONHCH,Ph was added (Rh/ketoamide = l/5), the doublet signal disappeared and two sets of double doublet signals appeared at 6 43.87 ppm (J(Rl-P) 193, J(P-P) 58 Hz) and 48.80 ppm (J(RhP) 210, J(P-P) 58 Hz) (at + 10 “C) indicating the formation of a substrate chelate complex. Con-
sistently, the IR carbonyl stretching band (1630br cm-‘) of the free ketoamide shifted to 1590 cm-‘. Although the ketoamide-Rh’ complex may be isolated at low temperature, it is not thermally very stable. Single crystals suitable for an X-ray analysis have not been obtained yet. Tentatively we assume a square planar structure 6, as similar coordination of an amide carbonyl oxygen to Rh’ is known [ll]. Although we could not determine the formation constant exactly, it must be fairly large as the 31P NMR + NHCH,Ph

spectrum indicated the absence of the doublet signal (846.74 ppm) of [Rh(CyDIOP)(MeOH),]+ in the presence of an excess (4.7 mol/l mol Rh) of the ketoamide. These coordination propensities of ketones we have examined reflect the rate law variation (eqs. 1 and 2). At a later stage of the catalytic sequence a hydrido-alkoxo complex [RhH(diphosphine)(OCH(R)R’)S]+(S = solvent) may be formed. Our searches for such a species have led to the use of an iridium(II1) complex. Treating a l/l mixture of [Ir((iPr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(COD)]PF, and PhCOCONHCH,Ph in acetone with H, (1 atm, at ambient temperature) yielded a pale yellow crystalline complex. This was well characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods, but the X-ray diffraction studies have failed due to the disorder in crystals.

band at 2300 cm- ’ show the presence of an Ir-H group. This triplet resonance appears to be indicative of two equivalent phosphorous atoms. However, the 3’P NMR (MeOH, 27 o C) indicated clearly the presence of two inequivalent phosphorous atoms in very similar environments (6 - 1.48 ppm, d and S - 0.27 ppm, d, J(P-P) 21.5 Hz). The 3*P NMR was temperature dependent and showed much complicated signals at lower temperature (below - 10 “C). The presence of an alcoholato group was shown from its ‘H NMR (S 5.93 ppm, d, CH-0) and 13C NMR (S 86.4 ppm, CH-0) and the presence of the coordinated amide carbonyl group was shown in the IR spectrum (1600 and 1550 cm-‘).

isomers. Attempts to isolate the similar Rh’ complex were unsuccessful due to its thermal instability. The Ir’ complex [Ir((i-Pr),P(CH,)sP(i-Pr)2)(COD)]+ shows very poor activity as a catalyst for hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph. Note that the hydrido-alcoholato complex corresponds to the product of an oxidative addition of an alcohol which may be regarded as an intermediate in the dehydrogenation in an alcohol. Such hydrido-alkoxo complex has often been postulated as an intermediate complex in the catalytic ketone hydrogenation [3,27]. The iridium complex is the first example of such a hydrido-alkoxo complex of transition metal. Catalytic reaction sequence As a general reaction scheme of the catalytic hydrogenation one would consider two routes, one is a sequence involving an incipient oxidative addition of H, followed by the substrate coordination and subsequent intramolecular hydride migration leading to the hydrido-alkoxo species (the hydride route) and the other is a sequence starting from the formation of the ketone complex followed by the oxidative addition of H, and so on (the ketone route). The possible reaction sequences are illustrated in Scheme 1 (if the substrate is a-ketoamide, it acts as a bidentate which is not shown). Obviously the catalytic hydrogenation of a-ketoamide proceeds through the ketone route owing to the kinetic (k, > k,) and thermodynamic (K, > K,) aspects.

The rate-determining step then comes after the substrate complex formation, either the H, oxidative addition (k4) or the subsequent hydride migration (k,). The rate law (eq. 2) suggests the H, oxidative addition step to be the rate-determining step. The observed very large negative entropy value (Table 3) is consistent with a mechanism involving such an association as the rate-determining step. The dominance of the ketone route was confirmed from the following observation. With a catalytic amount (1 mol%) of the dihydride complex “[RhH,(CyDIOP)]C104” prepared separately the hydrogenation of PhCOCONHCH,Ph was carried out under atmospheric pressure of dihydrogen at 25 ‘C. The reaction mixture was not entirely homogeneous at the beginning but the slurry gradually became a pale orange solution after several hours. The rate was found to be much slower ( < 50% conversion during 27 h) than that effected with the precursor [Rh(CyDIOP)-
(NBD)]ClO, (100% conversion within 30 min), a result implying a very small k, value. Since k, is also small (see the preceding section), it is very likely that the hydride route is not operating in the catalysis. The reason why the cationic dihydride complex shows such a low activity toward the a-ketoamide is not clear at present, but we believe that the low reactivity is due to the polymeric structure described above. Participation of monohydride species in the catalysis may be possible if heterolysis of dihydrogen molecule occurs at the oxidative addition step k, or k,. Generally the monohydride formation is assisted by the presence of a base as the proton acceptor [28]. The ‘H NMR data of the polymeric hydride complexes we isolated exclude the formulation as a monohydride. For the ketone route, we do not have any direct experimental evidence related to this issue. However, we favor the dihydride formation rather than the heterolysis, since we could isolate the monohydrido-alkoxo Ir’ complex 7 which suggests the absence of such a heterolytic reaction. The rate of the hydrogenation of simple ketones, cyclohexanone or benzophenone, catalyzed by [Rh((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)(NBD)]ClO, was found to follow a simple third-order expression (eq. 1). This apparent third-order rate law may be understood by assuming an equilibrium with a very small K value preceding the bimolecular rate-determining step. In this case also, only the ketone route may be operating as inferred from the following observation. The hydrogenation of cyclohexanone or benzophenone catalyzed by [Rh((i-Pr),P(CH, )4P(i-Pr)2)(NBD)]C104 (1 mol%, 1 atm H,, 35’C) proceeds much faster (100% yield within 20 min for cyclohexanone and within 1 h for benzophenone) compared to the formation of the dihydride complex “[RhH,((i-Pr),P(CH,),P(i-Pr),)]ClO,” (about 30% yield during two days, see above). The isolated dihydride complex again functions as a very poor catalyst for the hydrogenation of these simple ketones (< 40% yield during 24 h under a similar reaction conditions). Although we could not obtain the equilibrium constant K,. “P NMR showed that the formation constant of the substrate complex in the case of simple ketones should be very small (vide supra). Thus if the subsequent H2 oxidative addition is the rate-determining step, we obtain the following rate-equation (eq. 6) which agrees with the observed third-order expression. The observed unusual negative temperature dependence of the rate for the hydrogenation of simple ketones with the cationic Rh’ complex can be explained as follows. Namely, K, decreases as r0 = k,[Rh.

the temperature rises and simultaneously the increase in k, with the temperature rise is relatively small so that the product k,K2 decreases. Such an unusual negative temperature dependence of the reaction rate was reported for the oxidation of nitric oxide and well debated [29] and also reported for heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation [30]. A large K, value implies the concentration of the substrate complex approaches that of the catalyst. Thus, in the case of the hydrogenation of the ketoamide, where a large K, value is involved as described above, the rate equation (eq. 2) corresponds with eq. 5. Thus the various kinetic aspects described above can be accommodated with the general scheme shown above.

TRAJECTORIES OF PEDIATRIC SLEEPINESS AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY USING A PERSON-CENTERED APPROACH
PoppertCordts_ku_0099D_15620_DATA_1.pdf (794.6Kb)
Poppert Cordts, Katrina Marie
Clinical Child Psychology
Adequate sleep is paramount for children’s healthy development of emotion regulation, academic achievement, and cognitive performance. The critical need for sleep in children has sparked extensive research in which four independent domains have emerged, some providing inconclusive support for detrimental outcomes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) when impaired. Yet, daytime sleepiness, which uniquely captures a child’s subjective sleep experience, has seldom been explored. To determine the chronicity of sleepiness, the current study employed latent class growth analysis to identify longitudinal trajectories, or classes, of children’s daytime sleepiness. Trajectories were subsequently utilized to assess their association with HRQOL. The present sample included 158 elementary-age children. Children’s self-report of daytime sleepiness and HRQOL was collected at three time points across an academic year. Results provided support for three trajectories (i.e., classes) of sleepiness and a significant association between class membership and later HRQOL, F(2, 124) = 17.38, p < .001. Post hoc tests revealed significant differences in HRQOL between the Low and Moderate trajectories (p < .01), Low and High trajectories (p < .001), and between the Moderate and High trajectories (p < .01). Analyses indicated that children with high and stable sleepiness experienced impairments in HRQOL comparable to children with chronic health conditions. Results suggest that sleepiness is more pervasive and widespread than other facets of sleep behavior. Implications include the establishment of daytime sleepiness as a pervasive state with both statistical and clinical significance. Future research should focus on generating empirically derived normative data to provide researchers and clinicians reference values to assess sleepiness reports relative to clinical impairment.

Farmer to non-farmer – The Role of Farmer Identity on Conservation
The trend to multifunctional rural landscapes in developed countries is characterized, in part, by the contrasting values, land uses and land management practices of rural property owners. In agricultural regions, it seems these trends are, at least in part, an expression of the extent rural landowners identify as farmers. Investigation of these trends has been hampered by the absence of robust approaches to measuring occupational identity amongst rural landowners. As the non-farmer cohort of rural landowners’ increases, it is expected that occupational identity will be an increasingly important factor affecting rural landowner adoption of best management practices (BMPs). Initial research suggests a farmer’s identity may be a strong indicator of likelihood of adoption of BMPs in Australia, a country that exhibits several similarities with the U.S. agricultural model. To date, limited research has examined how occupational identity of the spectrum of rural landowners influences land management decisions in the U.S. This project was designed to help address that gap by completing a survey of landholders in four counties, in Iowa (Pocahontas and Wright counties) and in Ohio (Henry and Paulding counties). Mail surveys were sent to a sample of 4,000 landowning residents in each location who owned more than 40 acres. The survey included general demographic items, support and behaviors relating to best management practices (e.g. filter strips, crop rotation, nutrient management, grass waterways), knowledge items, relationship to tenant farmer (if applicable), and a measure of the extent that participants identify as farmers (Farmer-Collective Occupational Identity Construct - F-COIC). Results from the survey will be presented and discussed.

Indigenous Spaces In Library Places Online Toolkit
Share stories and build knowledge of Indigenous history and culture
Increased awareness of Indigenous history and culture.
Visible collections and services for Indigenous peoples.
Support public libraries to collect, expose and share local and national resources on Australian Indigenous culture and history.
Encourage public libraries to collaborate with local Indigenous peoples and communities to create and share stories — for example, collecting local histories relating to experiences of the Indigenous community, collecting ephemera, collaborating with Indigenous artists etc.

Resources for Public Libraries
HERITAGE PLAQUES
Building your Library’s local studies collection is an integral part of sharing stories and building knowledge of Indigenous Australian histories and cultures. We encourage you to build local studies collections that are broad-ranging in its representation of Indigenous stories, perspectives and authorial voice as well as being diverse in format. Audio visual materials, oral histories, children’s picture books and photographic materials are some examples of diverse formats that may enrich your existing collection.
ICIP Protocols
It is important to consider rights management when developing collections. Local studies collection development policies and procedures should include consideration of Indigenous Intellectual and Cultural Property (ICIP) Protocols. Terri Janke & Company have provided some valuable resources online relating to ICIP protocols. This video gives a great overview on the background of the ICIP Protocols.
The increased visibility of your local studies collection makes the content more accessible and easily recognisable. It is a way of celebrating Australian Indigenous histories and cultures. Some easily achievable steps to increase visibility include:
Placing the Aboriginal flag on the spines of books.
If shelved together rather than distributed through the rest of the collection, consider labelling your local studies materials with the name of the traditional custodians, for example: "Gadigal heritage collection” or “Gadigal local studies collection”.
Sensitivity Notices
In building your local studies collection it is vital to acknowledge the cultural protocols of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and your local Indigenous community. Issuing sensitivity notices acknowledges that some collections may contain historically biased content, or material that is sensitive or offensive in today's context. You may have items in your collection that are valuable in terms of their connection with the local Aboriginal community, however they may be outdated in terms of attitudes or language.
For example, they may include deragotary and offensive language such as 'part-Aboriginal', 'full-blood', 'half-castes', or 'blacks', 'gins' or 'darkies'. We suggest you remove these collections from open collections and manage them through a request. This way you can provide a sensitive notice when access to the collection is made. The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) has a number of Thesaurus tools available to guide use of appropriate language and terminology.
Spine Label PDF
Special Care Notice PDF
Special Care Notice Word Doc
You can use our Special Care Notice PDF as an example or customise the wording for your local studies collection using the Word Doc version.
Involve your local Aboriginal community in the process of building your local studies collection on an ongoing basis. Work collaboratively to identify key subject areas or material formats that meet the needs and interests of the community, while also ensuring new acquisitions are reliably representing Indigenous history, culture and perspectives.
'Local studies collection’ is preferable to ‘Indigenous studies collection’. This language is more inclusive to Indigenous people being represented in local collecting, whereas 'Indigenous studies' can also be seen as an academic field of study.
Oral histories offer first hand insights into living memories. Collecting the oral histories of Indigenous community members is not only a great way of documenting and preserving those memories for future generations, it is also a means of giving voice and agency to the (often underrepresented) Indigenous perspectives of history.
The National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) Guidelines Working with Community: Guidelines for collaborative practice between libraries and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, endorsed by the State Library of NSW, outline best practice for engaging and working collaboratively with Indigenous communities. It’s a good idea to consult the guidelines before getting started on your oral history project to ensure you are following best practice right from the outset.
The NSLA guidelines communicate the importance of:
Knowing your community: their history, experiences, contemporary priorities, language groups and governance structures
Respecting Indigenous knowledge: recognising Indigenous peoples as the custodians of their knowledge and culture, and the significance of their contribution to your Library’s collection
Identifying a process: defining a process or methodology that upholds these interests from the beginning.
Oral History NSW also provides comprehensive guidelines for ethical practice, commissioning oral history projects, and determining fees for oral history.
Some useful resources include:
Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies

Heritage plaques are a tangible way of acknowledging the historic significance of a site or building , of an individual and/or commemorating an event.
Installing a heritage plaque at your library or within your township that recognises Indigenous history, culture or individual achievement can not only build positive relationships with your local Indigenous community but also encourages others to reflect on and engage with the Indigenous history of the area they live in.
When deciding whether a heritage plaque would be suitable for your library, it may help to ask the following questions:
Who are the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which the library was built?
What is the cultural significance of the site?
Do you know any Indigenous community members whose life story or contribution to the history and character of your library or town deserves to be acknowledged?
The continent of Australia is home to many different Indigenous nations, clans and language groups, each occupying their own land demarcated by environmental, cultural and trade boundaries.
Maps outlining the boundaries of nations, clans and language groups are great resources for learning about the diversity and richness of Australian Indigenous cultures, and for understanding the living history of the traditional lands on which your library, or library cluster, is situated.
One of the most recognisable and widely-used maps of this nature is the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia, which can be purchased online or reproduced with permission. The Map showing the distribution of the Aboriginal Tribes of Australia by Anthropologist Norman Tindale, commonly referred to as the Tindale Map, provides another overview of Indigenous language groups in Australia. As the map was compiled in the 1940s and contains many errors, it is not reliable in today’s context but can used as a rough guide and to showcase the richness of Indigenous culture in Australia. You can download and display the Tindale Map from the Library's collections in your library.
Displaying a map of Indigenous Australia at your Library is a positive, welcoming gesture to the local Indigenous community and promotes education about the diversity of Indigenous cultures and languages across Australia.
Tindale Map Collection PDF
There are many maps of Indigenous Australia. Contact your local Aboriginal Land Council for advice on which map best reflects the boundaries of the traditional custodians of your region. You may find there are more detailed maps available concentrating solely on your region.
As one of the world’s largest reference websites, the open-content encyclopaedia Wikipedia can play a significant role in both promoting and linking the public offsite to your library’s Indigenous collections.
Wikipedia editors can achieve this by:
Embedding links to related items in your library’s catalogue in Wikipedia articles and citations
Summarising and making accessible the resources your library has made available around the item/s or broader topics.
With limited representation of Indigenous peoples, histories and cultures on the site, there is enormous scope to create content that is relevant to your area as a collaborative effort with your local Indigenous community.
Speak with your local Indigenous community, consultative groups and/or the local Land Council to identify opportunities for highlighting stories on Wikipedia that can be linked back to the collection.
Anyone can edit existing articles without become a registered user, while registration is required to create an article from scratch for publication. It's good practice to embed links taking users directly to the source, whether this is your library’s website or catalogue. Aim for as few clicks as possible.
Oakey library
Gooneburra mural at Oakey library.
This case study was kindly provided by Jo Beazley, Coordinator Programs and Services Library and Cultural Services, Toowoomba Regional Council.
The establishment of the Gooneburra Gardens and mural within the courtyard at Oakey Library was seen as the perfect way to ‘bring to life’ the Indigenous Gooneburra Collection and a unique way for the Oakey community at large to make connections and bridge the gap with the local indigenous community. The Gooneburra Gardens also aims to encourage learning and literacy in community collaboration with the growing of plants and the learning about how to use plants while gaining a greater understanding of native food. This area will also be one where everyone can enjoy the outdoor space at the library.
The garden and mural project was a joint collaboration with the Oakey Indigenous Community represented by Goondir Health Services. Funding for the project commenced with the Local Working Art Group calling for Expressions of Interests (EOI) of projects to be considered for RADF funding in line with the Oakey Public Art Plan as a reference point. Past funding has also been received from the State Library of Queensland and Toowoomba Region Libraries to help develop the welcoming spaces inside the building that incorporates another mural and Gooneburra Collection.
A broad range of fact and activity sheets have been created for the Gooneburra Collection, Gardens and Murals. These range from plant information, children’s activities (with school curriculum ideas), Indigenous information, and reading lists of items from the collection. The Gooneburra Collection at the Oakey Library has also been gathered to compliment and promote the garden and murals.

This Is Our City Not Theirs, It’s Time To Tell The Rich To Fuck Off
Posted on February 16, 2015 by johnny void | 110 Comments
As glass and concrete spindles made of luxury flats climb into the clouds above London below them lives a generation of children who will never be able to afford to live here when they are grown up.
Across the capital families and communities are being fractured as rents soar beyond poverty wages and benefit caps mean eviction and forced relocation for those who fall on hard times. In central London at night huddled bodies in sleeping bags fill the shop doorways whilst camps of homeless migrants hide beneath bridges and in tunnels after finding out the city’s streets were actually paved with shit. Social housing estates are being slowly run down, decanted and demolished to make way for the rich and a handful of so-called affordable properties that nobody local can afford. Gentrification forces up rents and closes down well loved local pubs and markets to be replaced by hipster twats selling over-priced cupcakes or bowls of fucking Coco Pops to each other.
The rich should not just be unwelcome in this environmnent, they should be despised. None of this has happened by accident. As property prices rocket out of reach every last fucking brick has become an investment opportunity. London does not have a housing problem, some of the most expensive properties in the city are empty and unused. London has a rich people problem.
Yet as the social and cultural heart of the capital is ripped apart, a spectre is haunting London. A spectre of toff-hating fucking rage. Recently up to four thousand people marched on City Hall demanding homes, whilst a breakaway groups took to the roads and occupied empty flats on the Aylesbury Estate. Abandoned properties have been occupied throughout the capital from Stratford to Mayfair. Shadowy American property developers Westbrook Partners were chased out of their ownership of the New Era Estate after threatening to hike rents. Local groups who face losing their homes have brought construction sites to a standstill with blockades. Last week bailiffs, the attack dogs of the rich, were pelted with paint bombs at their glitzy annual award ceremony. And the boisterous Poor Doors demonstrations are back after pampered property developer Taylor McWilliams declared there was nothing he could be arsed to do to end social segregation in the building his company owns.
It is little wonder that the rich want us out of their playground. Property developers now boast in adverts that there will be no social housing tenants in their luxury new flats. Poor doors force low income tenants to use a different entrance to their homes than the rich who live in the same buildings. Even gardens that were promised to low income residents are now to be fenced off and made available for posh cunts only. David Cameron has threatened a policy which will socially cleanse the poor from the entire South East of England within a week of any Tory election victory. But we are not fucking going anywhere.
At the recent housing march it was declared that the growing movement for homes is the beginning of the end of London’s housing crisis. Escalation is now vital on every front. It’s time to make the rich feel unwelcome. To let them know that if they leave their luxury buildings empty they will be occupied. If they force us to use poor doors we will mob their buildings and spoil their dinners. That from the trust fund Tarquins destroying local communities to the plutocrats, bankers and global super-rich buying houses to keep empty as investments, we will hunt them down and make their lives as uncomfortable as they want to make ours. There are fucking loads more of us than them. The rich are here by our consent. It’s time to tell them to fuck off.
Next Thursday (19th February) the Poor Doors demo will start at 6pm sharp, 1 Commercial Street, E1 and march to the site of the stolen garden at Tower Bridge SE1. Then on Monday 23rd February Boris Johnson will be the target as housing campaigners flock to City Hall to block his budget. If you have kids growing up in this city or plan to grow old here then you should be there, at both if you can. This is our London, not theirs and we need to take it back.
Please help spread the word about both events, for more info on the Poor Doors protest visit Class War’s website and join/share the facebook event page for Block the Budget.

Benefit Sanctions Wrongly Leaving Landlords with Mounting Rent Arrears
RLA Landlords – 28th Jan 2015
The RLA is concerned that sanctions imposed on Job Seeker Allowance (JSA) and Employment Support Allowance (ESA) claimants are unfairly leaving PRS landlords with mounting rent arrears.
The problem is caused by the DWP misinforming councils on the proper status of JSA/ESA claims, following the imposition of a sanction. This then prompts suspensions and cancellations of Housing Benefit/Local Housing Allowance (LHA) claims when there’s simply no justification for this.
The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) has produced reports covering this issue: http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/finance/‘unintended’-housing-benefit-cuts-hit-tenants/7001667.article
The problem has, if anything, got worse despite both the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Councils are well aware of its existence, not to mention the unnecessary rent arrears and untold misery it inflicts on tens of thousands of tenants. Landlords, already reeling from some of the worst effects of welfare reform, are also experiencing mounting rent arrears, caused by this same issue, which needs to be addressed by both councils and DWP urgently.

I tried to get a property from a private landlord 5 years ago, after complications from a so-called routine op, but not one got back to me they just didn’t want to know. It’s not just London it’s all over the country. We need to tell landlords all over the country to fuck off, we won’t be beaten

I wonder if they get all the low paid workers as well as the unemployed out of London. Who is going to look after the sewerage system? who is going to clean their posh houses? who is going to look after their fenced off gardens? Are they going to do all these jobs themselves? Probably not as they never probably had a real days work in their life.
overburdenddonkey | February 16, 2015 at 7:17 pm | Reply
they’ll just have another group of slightly better paid low paid workers, ad infinitum….effectively paying the rich to work, and reside…..
its still the same thing, they will still be poor, no I believe that what you deal out, gets dealt back at you. Aside from anything they can not live as they are forever because their system will not support them forever. Their is only so much money in the world and if they end up owning it all. There will be no talented people or people willing to make stuff or give them services any more. Because we can rely on each other to help each other. Who do they have really? If they do nothing as they are they will become helpless eventually, if they do not have anyone to wipe up after themselves. Reality will one day find them, the same reality we all have to live everyday and it will be shock when it does. It will happen I do not know when.
they just don’t care, as long as the families of the establishment have a heritage/dynasty/lineage…
your right they don’t care and I don’t understand how they can be so selfish. I’m sick of the fact there is no honour or decency any more. I don’t even want much, just equality.
we see the whole world…they’re literally trained as children to see only their world as having value, they have a massive sense of entitlement…
they even claim greater anxiety and sense of loss as they have more to lose than us low life scum…their wealth insulates them from their denial, that’s what it’s for, we suffer so the they don’t need to suffer…ring any bells? they force us to follow their rules, grace, etiquette, and boundaries…know your place…we don’t have reflections in the mirror, it doesn’t matter if we’re @ the end of our phone lines or behind the letter boxes of our front doors., our pillows don’t know that it’s our heads resting on them..

I know in fact I watched a programme, something to do with living in Mayfair, its very enlightening, they are spoilt children yes. But I still say they have nothing, in away it is a bit like an hoarding syndrome I suppose. You we suffer so they do not have to? and in a sense we do, but who suffers more? I am guess they do only they just do not realise what hey are doing to themselves, they are only aware of the suffering their actions cause other people. This fun this discussion. I quite like taking part and definitely all the news passed along on here is a lot more informative than just reading the papers. Just thought I’d say, its nice to talk amongst intelligent people. And in their view we are low life scum, but they are wrong, very wrong. I would not want to ever be in their position with so much wealth, I would not like to think I would ever become them, that would be a nightmare. Having no money as I do even with all the worries and the struggles to live, I’d rather be like this than mean and selfish and alone and unloved. They have nothing that I want.
overburdenddonkey | February 16, 2015 at 11:07 pm |
yep, you said it…it’s their loss….
but, i do wish they’d stop blaming/punishing/scapegoating us for their shit lives….it’s certainly good to talk to fellow travellers…. 🙂
Tyler Durden | February 17, 2015 at 8:31 am |
Wealth has nothing to do with obsessive compulsive hoarding disorder; money buys FREEDOM and CHOICE! There is no law that says being ‘loaded’ means you have to drive a Lamborghini and own a fancy yacht: and as Tyler Durden said: “The things that you own end up owning you” It is like the lottery millionaire who said the best thing about winning the money was “no never have to put on that fucking boiler-suit ever again” or Colin Stagg the poor guy who received compensation after being fitted up for a murder he didn’t commit: “never having to set foot in a fucking jobcentre again.”

maybe automation will
replace the poor servicing
the rich..ive heard said that
in ten to twenty years time
automation will replace
around 40-50% of jobs…
or maybe places like london
will be like ‘metropolis ‘
with the poor workers living
in the sewers underground
..”upstairs downstairs”.
it will be if we let it happen, trouble is no one I know outside my immediate family has an interest in politics and so with little interest into it people are just going to let it happen, if they don’t know, they will think its alright. And Mike Silver is right there is 200,000 people interested in you going shopping, he talks politics and about important issues and gets one like. if people aren’t interested as a democracy, then there is no democracy without the people in it. Maybe it is intentional that they don’t educate children in school with politics, maybe they don’t want you to know.

Maria, take a look in your local Oxfam shop and ask about their latest campaign. The poster for it has a picture of a red double-decker bus. It’s there to illustrate the truly staggering fact that the 80 wealthiest people on the planet, who could all fit on the double-decker bus, have more wealth than the poorest 3.5 billion people – that is pretty much half of all humanity. Oxfam thinks it’s time that was changed. I think that poverty needs to be abolished, along with extremes of wealth.
maria | February 17, 2015 at 10:17 am | Reply
Wish I could but my local Oxfam closed down a year ago. I know about where the wealth is I read the guardian and the independent you know as well as the degrading of the poor stories in the DM. Though I not sure what is happening in the guardian these days. I agree with you I think if there is to be capitalism it should at least be responsible capitalism and there is nothing responsible about it these days.

I’m afraid that Oxfam is not all it seems – please be wary with them. Swiss and Oxfam *may* be getting investigated – allegedly.

An old solution to an old problem – live-in staff, or more correctly the ultimate 24/7 slavery on pittance pay, if any, living under effective house arrest. The abuse of these house servants is already a problem among those trafficked into the UK as members of households. There will be a boom in workers hostels too, as in South Africa, and ME countries where the labourers are kept in servitude and dreadful conditions away from the distraction of watching their families struggle on the remittances sent home.

That’s what I was thinking too. Its bot just the lowly paid cleaners, tho, it’s firefighters, police, nurses, teachers, the lower paid civil servants and office workers. Some of these ppl can hardly afford getting into town as it is. If they lived further out, they wouldn’t be able to commute, and they wouldn’t have a job either.
London, and a quite a few of the uppity burghs are going to have bigger trouble than they already do. The REGIME hasn’t a clue.

He closed down about 13 in January last year. A city the size of London, and they are closing down firehouses, and cutting back on the number of pumpers and ladder trucks. It is disgraceful.
If the ppl of London knew how little protection they actually have, they would not be happy at all. But I don’t think they have any idea of the reality.
bobchewie | February 17, 2015 at 3:48 am | Reply
@Gordon thanks for that. Yes we got info from firefighters themselves as they were trying to find out why these stations were being closed and in such numbers too
Its very quite disturbing
No, they expect immigrant workers to live three to a room so they can afford to service the job. They expect them to live in a shared hovel like this and turn up for work keen and fresh just like in the 30’s.They expect the existing work force to follow suit or starve.This is why the gates are still wide open.
You mean slavery. knowing them they will try to make it legal, workfare is virtual slavery and it is funny in a world where there is no work for paid workers, there is a lot of work to volunteer for. It not as if people are short of money to pay their workers either.

LUXURY APARTMENTS is the phrase used these days.
They put up one right next to a railway bridge with no regard to privacy or vibration to the structure
Passengers can gaze at the inhabitants and the inhabitants can look down on the passengers.. In both senses of the word
Popular pubs have been closed and converted into LUXURY APARTMENTS some with no takers with property vultures jumping on the band wagon with little or no regard to the community at all
London is being transformed into a faceless soul less zones of empty and near empty properties all set up to avoid tax and funnel drug money by oligarchs whilst tides of homeless families are left to rot and be treated as criminals for having the misfortune of become destitute
And at the same time our former children in care were being systematically being abused by VIP politicians
And even now when they seek justice and redress they are being abused again by Home Office playing games and misleading and lying to them and trying to obscure and cover up the crimes by those evil bastards
And the security services complicity in the matter

“I’m an emotional plumber. I tell these men I’m teaching them about their emotions and where they come from and what is going on inside their head. I’m showing them that reality is bearable, that it’s not lethal after all. The most significantly difficult thing to understand in life is other people but what’s most fascinating about people is that they are repairable.These people have been battered and abused all through their childhood and then the prison system comes along and carries on battering and abusing them. I want to stop punishing them and help them.” Bob Johnson may well be on to something, but he knows that his discoveries are political cyanide for a Home Secretary who wants blood-red meat to feed to public opinion.
Parkhurst Prison has asked the Home Office to analyse Johnson’s results so that they have hard evidence on which to build policy. The Home Office has done nothing. Johnson submitted a paper about his work to the Reed Committee on mentally disordered offenders. The Committee did not even acknowledge it. Johnson went to London to talk to the Prisons Minister, Peter Lloyd. He thought Lloyd understood what he was saying, but he has yet to see any action.’ nothing will ever change until the punishment stops, and the healing begins….where have all the flowers gone?

No just don’t go on claiming I don’t care about victims
And that abusers are victims
I cannot post the disgusting things they write on photos and videos of children. It’s vile.
overburdenddonkey | February 17, 2015 at 1:18 pm |
p s the biggest cover up of all is that a known cure is available, and has been for many years…why aren’t you and your ‘team’ screaming about that….oh yes, you’re too busy blaming shaming some abusers, who are also abuse victims…it’s not called the cycle of abuse for nothing…more rules, laws, and regulations to combat it…puts us all into a tighter and tighter straight jacket…they’ll create laws that restricts our freedoms even more, saying it’s for the common good…can’t you see that?
crb checks is a massive intrusion and pointless, like looking for crime by checking parking tickets @ a police station, the vast majority of CSA/CA offenders never get a record…
ever seen a victim of a snuff video made by those scumbags? I have and it’s horrific and you want to call them victims awww poor things nasty ppl wanna take away their right to torture and kill young people
Just sod off
i have never said that they aren’t abusers…they are also victims of abuse their sufferings need to be healed, or the cycle of abuse continues unabated…hitler et al murdered millions because they were abused as children, because they as children had no one to trust and turn to for love empathy and compassion…so as the child could see for themselves that they were being treated badly and that another world is available…

Reblogged this on The Heckler and commented:
A little reminder to the NIMBYs across southern Essex… Far from queuing up to leave the capital to colonise the green fields of Essex as some elements on the populist and far right are claiming, working class Londoners of all creeds and colours are fighting tooth and nail to stay in their city. To understand what’s happening across southern Essex with the pressure to build thousands of more homes, it’s essential to understand what is going on in London. It’s also essential that people in Essex reject the divisive crap coming from the likes of UKIP and support the housing struggles that are emerging across London…

Unholy Duo of Jobcentre and Universal Credit Wreck Lives
“truly shocking indeed”
Nothing really shocks us anymore but it’s becoming very clear to see that universal credit is destroying lives for both working and non-working people.
One man has been claiming universal credit but he got sick so he did the responsible thing — he went to his doctor and got a sick note.
The doctor stated his medical condition on his sick note so he took it into the jobcentre. He was told that this sick note wasn’t good enough and that he needed to get another one because it needed the words “he’s got worse” written on it.
He went back to the doctor and got another sick note. The doctor quite rightly said he couldn’t write that on a sick note, but described the patient’s condition instead.
The man took his new sick note in and staff again claimed that it wasn’t good enough.
…………………………..THIS IS THE LEGACY OF DAME CAROL BLACK WHO SAW FIT TO ALTER THE USE OF SICK NOTES………….
THE SAME SHITHOUSE WHO HAS BEEN SELECTED TO DO A GOVERNMENT (INDEPENDENT MY ARSE) REVIEW INTO OBESE PEOPLE, DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS…………….
a symptom of t2diabetes is obesity, millions suffer from t2d, but it costs the nhs bns, so they blame the victims of it, for it…one lacks energy but one is supposed to function as if one is super slim, not unwell and fit!!! …..or starvation due to malnutrition, yet they are now saying/implying that it’s the cause of t2d, when they also know it’s not…they may even offer gastric bands, to stop people from getting the energy they crave to carry on doing work…obesity is often caused by malnutrition, a great article here on this crazy policy, of blaming victims… http://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2015/02/16/obesity-and-the-constitution/
re sick note approval…they give the man the run around so eventually he gives up as his condition has gotten so bad, he finds another way of coping with it and carries on struggling to keep working…
more pass the buck…to his coffin and their coffers..

Johnny Void gives here a vivid description of the social cleansing being carried out in London, and urges people to join the anti-poor doors demonstration and protest against Boris Johnson’s budget this Thursday. While the protest is very about what is happening in London, it’s also happening in the rest of the UK as well. There are parts of Bristol where the property prices have made homes unaffordable to local people. A few years ago Private Eye carried a story about how the purchase of an area of working class homes in one of the northern cities. These were compulsorily purchased from their occupiers, and then redone as luxury homes for the rich. All in the name of improvement and the renovation of working class housing, which in fact saw the working class evicted from the area. Similar protests to those described by Johnny Void are badly needed elsewhere, before Cameron and his cronies make more people homeless. You wonder if they really intend to create third-world conditions, with luxury homes for the few, and the starving masses crammed into shanty towns and tent cities.

”Universal credit ‘a nightmare’, says claimant who advertised welfare reform”.
A claimant who featured in a Government film about universal-credit said it is riddled with computer problems and could push people into hardship.
In the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) film, Daniel Pacey said it helped him find work and was far better than jobseeker’s allowance. But he told the BBC a six-week delay before the first payment and further monthly payments were “a nightmare”.
The DWP said the benefit replicates the world of work and tackles dependency.
A spokesman said: “Universal credit is simplifying the benefit system and [makes] the transition into employment smoother.
“Our work coaches discuss budgeting support with all claimants and nearly 80% say they are confident in their ability to manage a monthly budget.”
Mr Pacey, 24, from Wigan, Greater Manchester, said: ”It might be easy for a government minister to make their wages last a month. But I’d like to see them make £250 last four weeks while looking for work.”
Idi Amin Smith said to us last year he could easily live off £53 per week.

You couldn’t make it up – deal to end scandal of Norwich disability centre with no access falls through
EDP 24 Eastern Daily Press – Tuesday, February 17, 2015 9:31 AM
A deal to bring to an end the scandal of the Norwich disability centre, which cannot be accessed by people in wheelchairs, has fallen through eight months after the government promised action.
Almost three years after the first protests highlighted the plight of disabled people, which at one point saw people with limited mobility sent a map and told to travel to Ipswich, the Department for Work and Pensions said a ground floor solution had still not been found.
http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/politics/you_couldn_t_make_it_up_deal_to_end_scandal_of_norwich_disability_centre_with_no_access_falls_through_1_3958693
“””But a DWP spokesman has now said: “Unfortunately and due to circumstances outside our control the deal for our preferred ground floor location fell through.”””””
March 2012 – A first protest is held at the Norwich office of Atos, which is paid £100m a year by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to conduct the tests, after it would not make appointments for wheelchair users as the centre is on the second floor.
February 2014 – Campaigners stage another protest outside the centre with people still being send hundreds of miles for appointments elsewhere.
June 2014 – Disabilities minister Mike Penning admits the situation is “wholly unacceptable”, and says he would be taking action to leave St Mary’s House in Duke Street as soon as possible.
December 2014 – DWP says it is in the process of securing two ground floor assessment rooms. It is hoped that the new rooms – in addition to the current assessment rooms – should be ready for use early in the new year.
January 2014 – Mark Harper, minister for disabled people, tells Norwich South MP Simon Wright that the medical assessment centre, used by private firm Atos, has taken on two extra rooms and that the DWP was drawing up final proposals and was working towards a “go-live” date at the end of January.
February 2014 – The DWP admits a deal for ground floor rooms cannot be reached.

“HOW STRANGE IS THAT, UNIVERSAL CREDIT IS UNDER BUDGET?”
The roll-out of universal credit will cost less than expected and is being carefully delivered “stage-by-stage”, the work and pensions secretary says.
Iain Duncan Smith told the BBC the new benefit was £600m under budget and had been implemented gradually on advice.
…………………..Sadly, the only things that will rolled out will be the pall bearers gurney’s that will need fitting with skate board performance wheels to keep up with the ever increasing death toll of DWP Ethnic cleansing policy.
The whole fetid system of claimant persecution hasn’t even got out of the starting blocks, so heralding enormous savings is the brainchild of an idiot.
£600 million is peanuts to the actual costs that will be incurred putting the mistakes right………………………….

“Shadowy American property developers Westbrook Partners were chased out of their ownership of the New Era Estate after threatening to hike rents.” – but replaced by a “charity” which will hike rents.
Stage one social cleansing was in the late seventies in Scotland when urban communities were dispersed to the satellite housing schemes orbiting the major cities. The destruction of those communities was under the political slogan of regeneration, a slogan that is now being used for the encroachment of “affordable housing” new builds onto what was social housing land on the schemes.
The peoples of the satellite housing schemes were never able or allowed to rekindled the spirit of the old urban working class communities. 😦

yeah, i remember the start of that, for the 1966 world cup in their case, as my grandparents and their extended family were moved out of liverpool, to the luxury suburbs of speke…i’d never seen anything like it, and not since thank god, sadly i was never to return, the community spirit was all but gone…

You are so wrong it’s untrue. These offenders were not damaged people not all abused turn out to be offenders either
This was highly organised networks using trafficking and transport and key players in every part of society and it was paid for and monies made from and re invested in the ‘ business ‘ on a scale that is terrifying
You cannot tell me that this was just a bunch of individuals that were disturbed a bit. And a magic doctor would make them all better
Re offending rates are in 70% range most deny they are doing anything wrong and it’s just society old fashioned attitude
They tried to abolish age of consent in fact they didn’t give a stuff if any consent given or nothe mostly not how can a five yr old consent to anything as depraved as that
Noooop it’s you who is wrong

Whitney Taylor, Twisted
Show: Twisted
TV: Cable / Network: Freeform
Character Status: Recurring
Orientation: Lesbian
Tropes: Drive-by Lesbian, Lesbian with a Man, No closing story arc, Predatory
Appeared in seasons: 2013-2014
Whitney Taylor (Brianne Howey)
On teen drama mystery-thriller Twisted, Whitney was a minor character, introduced when she showed up at her father’s doorstep after getting kicked out of boarding school. She met regular character Lacy when she enrolled at her new High School, and the two became fast friends.
Despite both of them being minors, Whitney invited Lacy, who had recently broken up with her boyfriend, to go clubbing with her in New York City to blow off some steam. When Lacy got hit on by a guy at the club, Whitney stole his phone and called his wife to let her know of her husband’s behavior. On their walk home Lacy brought up her boyfriend and said she was over boys, and Whitney kissed her, taking her by surprise.
They were interrupted by a call from Whitney’s dad, who had been been arrested. Whitney was thrown out of her dad’s house and moved in with Lacy. They finally got a chance to talk about their kiss, and Whitney told Lacy she was a lesbian and had never been with a boy, while Lacy said she didn’t know how she felt about the kiss. The next night Lacy invited her to sleep in her bed and then decided to kiss her. It didn’t last long, and Lacy eventually admitted she was still thinking about Danny, which Whitney said she understood.
Whitney and Lacy continued being friends until Whitney’s mom arrived in the season finale, to tell her she needed to come back home with her. She also revealed that Whitney was a notorious liar who would say and do anything to manipulate things her way. Her mom continued saying the reason Whitney was kicked out of boarding school was because she got caught naked with a boy.
Whitney explained to an unhappy Lacy the boy was the Dean’s son and she needed him to get her a weekend pass. The episode and season ended with a cliffhanger revealing that Whitney and her dad were grifters. The series was then cancelled after the first season, leaving the character’s storyline unfinished, and it’s unsure whether Whitney ever really cared about Lacy.
4 episodes.

Johnson, VT - The Northern Vermont University-Lyndon men's basketball team came up with a big offensive performance in defeating Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts on the second day of the annual Northern Vermont University Tip-Off Classic, hosted by NVU-Johnson. The Hornets and the Trailblazers are now both 1-1 on the season.
The Hornets came out firing to start the game, as a pair of three-pointers from Zach Falkenburg (Bridgeport, NY) and one each from Damon Denteh (Jamaica, NY) and Luke Fredsell (Whitesboro, NY) propelled the Hornets to a 16-7 lead less than three minutes into the game.
Following a timeout, the Trailblazers responded and climbed back into the game. Quentin Gittens' layup gave MCLA their first lead of the game at 24-23 with 12:25 to go in the opening half. Nick Escabi's putback made it a three-point game. Then after the Hornets' Timothy Hoar (Shelburne Falls, MA) converted a pair of free throws, Chris Becker's basket inside and a steal and layup from Marius Turner gave MCLA a 30-25 lead midway through the half, a lead that would turn out to be their largest of the game.
Following a Hornet timeout, Fredsell converted a layup, then Neal Mulligan (Marshfield, VT) knocked down a three-pointer to pull Lyndon back even. Two Becker free throws put the Trailblazers back in front, but Kyle Cary's (Selkirk, NY) basket and free throw gave Lyndon back the lead, and the Hornets would never relinquish it. Cary capped a 12-0 Lyndon run with a score inside to put Lyndon in front, 42-32, with 5:20 remaining in the opening half. Lyndon would maintain the advantage, eventually taking a 55-46 lead into halftime.
MCLA's Ki-Shawn Monroe converted a pair of free throws to start the scoring in the second half, but the Hornets followed with a 16-7 run capped by a pair of Denteh threes to build their biggest lead, 71-55, with 10:48 to go in the game.
Noah Yearsley stopped the Lyndon run with a three-pointer, then Hayden Bird connected on back to back threes and a jumper to fuel an 11-0 MCLA run that would narrow the Lyndon lead to 71-66 with 9:01 remaining. Following a Cary free throw, Bright Afful's basket cut the Hornet lead to four. Afful then made one of two free throws to make it 72-69 with 7:08 to go.
Lyndon answered with an 8-0 run on threes from Denteh and Fredsell, and a runner from Falkenburg to take the lead back to double digits. MCLA again clawed their way back in it, and Damon Daniel's layup made it a four-point game with 2:20 to go.
Cary then converted one of two free throws and Peyton Olsen (Middleburgh, NY) drained a three to move the lead back to eight. Denteh's two free throws took the lead back to double digits with just over a minute to go and the Hornets held off the Trailblazers from there to come away with their first win of the season.
Denteh was tops among five double figure scorers for the Hornets, as he finished with 19 points, including conncting on five of nine from behind the arc. Falkenburg went five for six from the floor and three for four from the arc to total 15 points and Cary finished with 13 points and seven rebounds. Fredsell chipped in 11 points and was credited for a game high six assists and Olsen rounded out the double figure scorers with ten points. Hoar was a presence on the interior as he pulled down a game high ten rebounds.
Monroe led MCLA with 18 points while Becker and Mike DeMartinis finished with 16 and 14 respectively.
The Hornets connected on 30 of 60 shots, including 15 of 35 from long range. MCLA meanwhile made 30 of their 70 attampts but only five on 19 from distance. MCLA held a 45-31 rebounding advantage.
Denteh and DeMartinis were named to the All-Tournament team, along with Jaymes Savage of NVU-Johnson and Jeremiah Shaw of Vermont Technical College. Johnson defeated VTC 95-87 in overtime in the final game of the Classic.

Meet the stone age man for the modern age
by Peter Michael
JOHN Plant stands in a shaft of sunlight. He's emerged from the forest, dappled with shadow, at a point where a creek line intersects a bitumen road, in the mountainous folds of what used to be Gondwanaland.
He's silent, shirtless and intense. Stockily-built, muscular, clad only in a pair of cargo pants, his pale skin appears to gleam in the glare of the sunbeam.
John Plant is the architect and star of the modern day "silent movie" as Primitive Technology on YouTube with 700 million views to his videos. Picture: Marc McCormack
It's like I've just spotted a unicorn. This enigmatic man, with his dark-eyed gaze and film star James Franco-looks, has become a mythical figure to millions worldwide through his YouTube channel Primitive Technology.
The unlikely internet cult superstar has 9.83 million followers. He makes videos that show how to make things in the wild completely from scratch, using no modern tools or materials.
Plant never speaks in the videos. His silence is, perhaps, his most alluring quality in a shouty world of white noise and online traffic.
It's just him in the forest. Like a glimpse of Neolithic Man, he can be seen skilfully and stoically going about his task. He is relatable and he shows how things were done in a pre-language past. Man lights fire, chips a stone axe, builds shelter, makes a kiln, shapes pottery, collects water, burns charcoal, grows yams.
Not a word. Just the sounds of the forest, the clear piping of birds, the rush of a breeze through the trees, and the snap, crackle and pop of burning wood.
There's a rhythmical, meditative, three-tap melody as a stone-axe cuts into a favourite building material, a northern olive tree.
"Thwack, thwack, thwack" rings the chopping noise, man vs the elements, echoing into the ether.
His piece de resistance, the tiled-roof hut, built high on a ridge line of the jungle-clad mountain above us, took 102 days to make because of unseasonal torrential rain.
That video has had 66 million views.
Plant has a canny routine where he doesn't look at the video camera, as if not to acknowledge our presence. Like a gruff old man in a workshop, we're allowed in, but not to be seen or heard.
But we're there, en masse.

In the past four years, he's had more than 700 million views, with his viral channel, averaging five million views a video. In YouTube terms that roughly equates to about $700,000 cash - paid out at a rate of about $1000 for every million views. The 37-year-old creator and craftsman has just banked his first million.
He's also sponsored on Patreon, a US crowd-funding platform, where fans and patrons pay to help him create his monthly video content, which earns him about $7000 a month.
There's almost as much genius in the simplicity of his business model as there is in his bushcraft.
So, who is the man behind the mystery?
The unlikely internet cult superstar has 9.83 million followers. Picture: Marc McCormack
All of this success has built a fan base clamouring for some details about the private life and real world of the undisputed megastar of the primitive technology universe.
From Robinson Crusoe 300 years ago to Bear Grylls: Man vs. Wild, the idea of surviving alone in the wilderness still captures the imagination.
That's why I'm here. Standing at the edge of the rainforest in a suburb in the backblocks of Cairns in far north Queensland, gazing at the human equivalent of a hairless yowie.
He turns, points back up the mountain stream, and I follow him into the jungle towards his bush camp.
For the first two years of his videos, Plant was anonymous. Tens of thousands of comments fill his home page. Some are hilarious one-liners.
"When are you going to build pyramids?" asks one.
"Legend has it he invented Minecraft," posts another.
"It's weird to think about this guy living his normal life … wearing a shirt, driving a car, going to his job … speaking."
Now John Plant has written a book to diversify his skills. The book is called Primitive Technology: A Survivalist’s Guide to Building Tools, Shelters & More in the Wild. Picture: Marc McCormack
Plant first came out of the forest into the light when I wrote about his complaint to Facebook in 2017 about how he was losing revenue because his videos were being shared without proper attribution. He said at the time one "stolen" video had cost him $39,000 alone because of lost traffic to his YouTube channel. Facebook didn't bother to respond.
I've been fascinated with him ever since but he's a reclusive character and I was keen to meet him in the flesh.
Now John Plant has written a book to diversify his skills. The book is called Primitive Technology: A Survivalist's Guide to Building Tools, Shelters & More in the Wild. It features 50 projects and step-by-step instructions on how to make tools, charcoal, shelter, a bow and arrow, a fish trap. Time has come for Plant to talk.
"You know when you're a kid, and you make up cubby houses, forts and huts and stuff in the bush?" Plant explains. "That's what I did, and just took it further."
I tell him if Armageddon comes, or a zombie apocalypse, with the end of human civilisation as we know it, he's on my team.
"Yeah," he chuckles. "Lots of people say that."
He makes no secret that he lives in a suburban house, eats a regular diet, and is completely self-taught from the internet with no military training or instruction by local Aborigines.

He still lives at home with his parents, retired high school teachers Lex and Lesley Plant. He has one sister, who lives in Brisbane with her two sons. Plant and his family are originally from Townsville but they moved to Cairns before he went to high school.
After completing a Bachelor of science at the James Cook University campus in Cairns, Plant worked a number of jobs including at a pottery shop, a powder coating factory, as an apprentice soil tester, and as a lawn mowing contractor. But in his spare moments he'd escape into the mountains behind where he still lives, working on projects that would become Primitive Technology.
He isn't married and doesn't have kids. But there is a girlfriend.
"She's from China. Out here working," Plant says, in his typically staccato way of talking.
He has the same economy of words as he does efficiency of effort on screen. "I met her through a mutual friend."
Was she a YouTube fan?
"Sort of, she kept saying she wanted to meet 'primitive man'. Kept bugging my friend, 'introduce me to primitive man'."
Did he play the strong, silent type when they met? "No. Not really."
His mother is one of his biggest fans.
"He certainly doesn't have any tickets on himself, he's very grounded about it all," Lesley Plant says. "It's all his own creativity, we've supported him and encouraged him all the way along."

Did she ever dream her hermit-like son's childhood fantasies would, one day, make him a cult icon for survivalists everywhere and be a million-dollar business?
"It's gobsmacking and unexpected," she says, from the kitchen of her immaculately clean, modern, white rendered brick home with manicured lawn and gardens outside.
"When he was young he'd often wander off into the bush. He and his mates did their own thing, making huts and forts. Most of the time he'd come home before sundown. You don't see kids doing that these days. They have too much screen time, too many organised activities, it's all music lessons and sporting clubs. Not as much on their own outdoors."

She tried to encourage Plant to take piano and tennis lessons, but he was happy doing what he was doing. She has a photo of Plant beside a stone-and-wood, thatched hut he built entirely by himself when he was about 14.
"We never imagined he'd make money out of his hobby. His first video was not monetised, it was just to share ideas; now it's a global phenomenon."
And yes, she says he chips in money for food and board. "There's no free ride here."
Plant used to climb high up the mountain, directly behind the family home, to build his projects. "It'd take a full day to hike up and work. I couldn't come back for food or anything. I lost a lot of weight, it was a hike to get up there, a lot of effort to get a hut built. It was a good workout," he says.

SELF-TAUGHT CRAFTSMAN
Where'd he get the skills?
"In the bush, just practising it. I read books, like the SAS Survival Handbook," he says.
"In that book they were using modern tools and materials, so I restricted myself to not using modern tools and materials. I'm just interested in bushcraft, making stuff from scratch."
Initially he bought a property at East Russell, south of Cairns, where he lived alone working on Primitive Technology. But the mosquitoes, midges, march flies, and the threat of crocodiles, proved too difficult even for a rugged bushman such as Plant.
He now works a short walk away, on a neighbour's old sugar plantation, at a hidden site where his huts, kilns, forge blower and pottery appear like a lost ancient village in the jungle.
He works solo, uses a Nikon D3200 handicam and tripod to film his segments, and edits alone at home.
He takes the photographer and me up there and when we arrive he hops around with glee.
"I feel a bit like Gollum in his lost goblin's cave at the roots of the Misty Mountains," Plant jokes. "This is my precious."
John as a toddler in a bush setting
Mosquitoes swarm as we step into the dark of his latest project, a hut with a thatched palm- frond roof, after one mud-brick hut burnt down and another was washed away by flash flooding.
Within 30 seconds, Plant has rubbed two sticks together to make fire to try to smoke them out. It doesn't work overly well. Recent rain, and a burst of hot weather in the tropical north has brought the wretched insects out in force.
I ask how he copes with the discomforts of working in the north Queensland rainforest.
Plant shrugs: "It's not too bad. You've got to watch out for snakes, bush pigs, maybe a cassowary, there are spiders, bugs and mosquitoes. But you get used to it."
University of California lecturer Jennifer Kahn wrote an insightful piece about Plant's work in The New York Times in 2016, which captured the essence of his universal appeal.
"Primitive Technology acts as a quiet corrective, an escape from a surfeit of vanity and strife," Kahn wrote.
"Unlike most of the stuff thrown at us online (the narcissistic makeup tutorials, the angry news clips, the high-gloss cooking porn, the didactic home-repair instructionals), Primitive Technology doesn't chatter at you or otherwise demand your attention.
"Watching them, especially amid the clamour of YouTube, can feel like leaving a crowded party and stepping out into the cool night air."

Silence. No narration. Just vicarious action. Who'd have thought? Plant, in his raw, authentic manner, says it's about psychology and the brain.
"If you watch someone doing an action that is literally going straight into your head," he says.
He holds up a stone axe he made out of basalt using quartz crystal for hammer stones.
"You cross all barriers of language, culture and custom, it is universal and accessible to all. People use a different part of their brain when they don't hear language, because the language centre is turned off.
"So instead the mirror neurons switch on. They light up when you see someone else doing an action. They stop at the silence."
He also thinks it's a bit crazy to sit in the bush and talk to yourself - or a camera.
"It didn't feel right to talk. It just sounds weird. If you've ever spent a lot of time alone in the bush, just sat there and started talking to yourself, it just sounds crazy."
No sound, the minimal clothes, the simplicity, he fits the popular image of what a primitive survivalist might look like.
"I did that for continuity. I didn't want a different T-shirt every time. All my pants were the same. That's the reason I did it that way."
It also helps if you're a fit, strong Adonis of a bloke. Some of his female followers swoon over his bulging biceps and liken him to a jacked-up Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Damn. Can I get a shake with that meal?? Yes sir!" posted one fangirl.
Plant is coy about his popularity and claims he has been recognised in public just once, at a local swimming hole, but does work out to tone his jungle-bod. "I think I'd lose a bit of credibility if I was like really overweight. You've got to look like a savage caveman; there's not too many chocolate bars in the Stone Age."
Bushcraft Survival Australia instructor Gordon Dedman is another admirer of Plant's talents.
The 48-year-old ex-commando and survival instructor in the Australian Army has trained and taught with some of the world's top experts.
"Bushcraft is huge overseas, but in Australia it's a little-known word, even though it came from here," Dedman says. "John Plant is amazing. YouTube is the way forward, he's popularising bushcraft. It's massive in the UK and US.
"I know all the top guys, none of them come close to John. They've got maybe 900,000 followers online, but he's the best, the most popular, in the world by far."
He mentions Dave Canterbury's The Pathfinder School (US), Paul Kirtley's Frontier Bushcraft School (UK), Ray Mears' Woodlore Bushcraft School (UK), Lofty Wiseman's Trueways Survival School (UK), Bush Lore Australia Wilderness School (QLD) and Bob Cooper's Outback Survival School (WA).
"John Plant, he does not do any talking, it's all skill, he makes all that stuff himself," says Dedman. "He doesn't teach, the standard of what he does is excellent, he just shows stuff. It's like you are there with him, it blows me away.
"He's like the James Morrison of the (bushcraft) world; there are lots of trumpet players on the planet, but he's the exception to the rule."
Dedman says bushcrafters, primitive technologists and survivalists are not to be confused with doomsday preppers. "That (prepping) is a bit extreme, whether it's paranoia or what.
"There are also plenty of copycats and cannibals out there pretending to do what John does. They rip his stuff off, there's dozens of channels, a lot of rubbish, a lot of junk. Bear Grylls, too, is more about entertainment."
WHAT NEXT FOR PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY?
Plant holds up his tiny specks of iron, the size of a fingernail, the product of a three-hour process to smelt them out of slag.
"I literally did this yesterday, in the back yard, with a forge blower I invented," Plant says.

"Back in 1600BC, iron was worth 40 times its weight in silver, because that's how hard it was to make. Before that, people picked it up off the ground as meteorites. If I was in ancient Anatolia, I'd be pretty rich."
Not that he cares much for something as prosaic as money. He knocked back $500,000 from the Discovery Channel for a trip to the US to do a documentary and rights to his videos.
Elon Musk's Tesla PR division also offered to fly him to the US to film him building a hut from scratch in the Tesla factory, while they made space-age motor vehicles on the production line.
"I put that offer on hold. I've got a few projects I'm working on here at home. I'm working on my skill set. I've done a book. I'm looking at the possibility of a TV documentary show on the History Channel. It's smart to diversify.
"But I've just ticked over a million bucks in savings in the bank. How much money do you need to be happy?"

Junk food needs to be removed from checkouts at supermarkets.
Bid to stop checkouts making us fat
by Jackie Sinnerton
20th Dec 2018 12:14 PM
RESTRICTION of junk food near the checkouts at the state's stores and supermarkets is one of the ways to tackle the spiralling obesity crisis, the state's top doctor says.
As a rising number of shops have introduced winding mazes lined with confectionary at check-outs, the Australian Medical Association Queensland chief believes it's time to consider policies that control these in-your-face displays.
The Australian Medical Association Queensland has reacted to a report released yesterday in PLOS Medicine from the University of Cambridge, which shows that stores in the UK which adopted checkout display policies in 2016 and 2017 resulted in a 76 per cent drop in people buying impulse snacks as "on-the-go" meals.
New Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows that in 2017-18, 67 per cent of Australian adults were overweight or obese - that's a shocking 12.5 million people. This is an increase from 63.4 per cent in 2014-15.
"The check out aisle policy from UK is just one such innovative policy that can be considered. AMAQ will work with the Healthy Futures Commission to come up with other such innovative policies and interventions. We need to collectively do what we can to target an already tuned out community on the risks of obesity," president Dr Dilip Dhupelia told The Courier-Mail.
The new report focused on stores with a pledge to provide healthier checkout foods and used data on food purchases that had been recorded since 2013 by more than 30,000 households as well as dates spanning 2016 and 2017 from a 7500 person UK purchase panel.
Introduction of checkout food policies was associated with an immediate 17.3 per cent reduction in purchases of small packages of sugary confectionary, chocolate and potato crisps per four week span in 2013. One year following the introduction of such a policy, the researchers found a 15.5 per cent reduction in packages of these common checkout foods purchased per four weeks.
Earlier this year a first-of-its kind study on obesity interventions from Deakin University called for a reduction in temptations for shoppers by replacing lollies and sugary drinks near registers with healthy snacks and bottled water. The researchers commended the efforts made by some supermarkets like the Woolworths free fruit for kids program.

Louisiana's 'judicial hellhole' rating is no surprise, Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch says
By Carrie Bradon | Dec 11, 2018
The release of an American Tort Reform Foundation report naming Louisiana as the fifth worst judicial hellhole in the U.S. recently prompted Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch (LLAW) to comment on the issue.
Among the factors contributing to the classification are lawsuits against energy companies that allege coastal damage is linked to their operations, tort lawsuits regarding Americans with Disability Act compliancy issues and auto insurance premiums.
"Unfortunately, it should come as no surprise that Louisiana has been named a 'judicial hellhole' for the ninth consecutive year," Lana Venable, executive director of LLAW told the Louisiana Record.
Lana Venable | Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch website photo
Venable said that auto insurance premiums are one of the biggest problems when it comes to the hellhole classification of Louisiana as it makes it challenging for residents to afford coverage.
"The Pelican State is the second most expensive state in the nation for auto insurance, where premiums have increased significantly for four consecutive years. In 2017, the annual average premium in Louisiana was about $600 more than the national average," Venable said.
What's more, New Orleans and Baton Rouge are among the top five cities in terms of insuring a vehicle, and bodily injury claims are about twice the national average despite the number of incidents being consistent with other states.
"This results in a cycle of many Louisiana drivers who are uninsured or underinsured turning to the court system for larger accident payouts. As a result, Louisianans are forced to pay much higher premiums," Venable said.
Unfortunately, Venable said, the Louisiana Legislature failed to pass crucial legislation in 2018 which would have tightened requirements in court for auto accident cases and made evidence admissible in court if an individual was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of an incident
"This is only one example of simple, common-sense legislation that would help make auto insurance more affordable for hardworking families," Venable said. "Real reforms are needed for our citizens and businesses who are paying for the effects of lawsuit abuse every day."

Meet our Artist, Lady Brndi AKA Brandi Hughes
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Brandi Hughes has been calling Australia home since 2014. Brandi’s work’s inspiration lies in stillness, nature, moody colour palettes and sounds. She is likely found in her Melbourne studio immersed in the natural sunlight with an audience of houseplants, hand-thrown ceramics, her cat Louie Bellson, a warm cup of coffee and her latest painting.
What is the inspiration behind the collection?
The honest inspiration behind the 'Fragments Of Growth' collection happened after my Mum attempted suicide for the second time. It was the hardest season I’ve needed to journey through but it has also been the most profound and awakening chapter of my life. Slowly my family started to heal and I began developing this series in my head. It wasn’t until I finished the painting called 'Imperfect' that I realised this was going to be a collection of paintings I would want to release. I am allowing this series to form as I create it because it is a representation of the personal journey I am on. For me, this series represents growth, healing, maturing, a refined understanding of what my true values are and how that will evolve.
What was your favourite part of creating this collection?
The moments when I fail, try again, fail again, start over again and finally have breakthrough then I get to take a step back from it all and see the stages that each painting goes through to get to where it ends up. That feeling of accomplishment, and showing myself that my craft and capability continues to grow if I put the hard work in is so rewarding. I absolutely love it!
How do you hope people feel when they see the new collection?
However they want, whether they simply like the look of it or it speaks to them in whatever way they need. I know how it makes me feel but I don’t expect that to translate to many people. There is a strong sense of contrast and mood in each painting, and I think that can invite certain emotions if that's what the viewer wants.
What inspired you to work with Little Branch?
I got really really lucky and sort of gently collided with Little Branch by accident, and naturally formed a great relationship. It just all happened at the right time; I couldn’t be more grateful to have the help of Little Branch guiding me along on this new journey as I step into this new chapter with my artwork.
What are some of the techniques/materials you used to create the artworks?
I usually start by very very lightly drawing out the picture on paper with pencil and once I am happy with the drawing and how it all sits on the page I then start putting down the first layer of paint and slowly build it up from there. I use watercolours and occasionally watercolour inks on a heavy grade watercolour paper.
Tell us a little bit about your journey as an artist
I was raised in a house with a strong sense of creativity. My father is a musician, singer/songwriter while my mother was in the performing arts in her earlier days. So from around the age of 7 I started showing a real interest in art. I was enroled in every art class possible at school, I just wanted to try everything and learn as much as I could. I have dabbled in sculpture, ceramics, photography, sewing, drawing and painting.
Painting has always been the foremost way for me to express my creativity however occasionally my ceramics, or drawings become the main focus. I often find importance in expressing myself through different creative outlets. This allows me to return to painting with a clear head. I often crave and seek out change, while others try to avoid it. It’s really important for me to change things up now and then or else I start to get a little stir crazy.
The 'Fragments of Growth' collection is available as Gift Cards, Wrapping Paper and Art Prints ranging in sizes A3 - A0 and proudly designed and made in Australia.

Pentagon to Award Medals for Drone Strikes
This image released by the Department of Defense shows the . . . newly announced Distinguished Warefare Medal. The Pentagon is creating the new medal that can be awarded to troops who have a direct impact on combat operations but do it from afar.

Pentagon to Start Awarding Medals for Drone Strikes and Cyberattacks
by Dashiell Bennett – Feb. 13, 2013
TheAtlanticWire.com
The Defense Department is reportedly inventing a new medal designed to reward soliders who fight battles from the safety of their computer consoles. The Associated Press says the Pentagon is creating a new ribbon, called the Distinguished Warfare Medal that will be given for “extra achievement” related to a military operation. That would include drone pilots operating unmanned planes from halfway around the world, or even hackers who launch a successful cyberattack on an enemy. Unlike all other combat-related medals, this would be the first one that you can be awarded without actually putting your life on the line.
While the move will undoubtedly rankle some of the infantrymen and Special Forces veterans who get shot at on a near daily basis during their combat deployments, the Pentagon is eager to find some way to recognize the achievements of those who are fighting modern battles, but just happen to be doing so from a computer lab or flight simulator instead of the war zone. Since a growing number of military operations don’t actually call on soldiers, sailors, or pilots to risk their lives anymore, the Armed Forces are not handing out as many of their more traditional combat medals as they used. Despite being perpetually at war since 2001, there have only been 10 Medals of Honor given out since the September 11 attacks, and the number of Navy and Air Force Crosses awarded has actually declined.
Yet a successful drone pilot creating air cover for a squadron on the ground can save just as many lives as one who takes a bullet for fellow solider. That’s not the same level of heroism, obviously, but it only seems fair that they get some recognition for their contributions. And “real pilots” will still insist that they not share the same medal with drone operators. As one Air Force colonel told Politico last year, “The basic fact of the matter is no one is shooting back at you. That makes a big difference. Combat pilots respect drone pilots, but I think we’d be uneasy about it if they were to get the same award.”
There were rumblings about a new award as early as last summer, and now it appears to be a #SlatePitch come to life. The Distinguished Warfare Medal would be the first combat-award created by the Armed Forces since World War II, and would become the fourth-highest ranking combat decoration. (It would rank above the Bronze Star, but below the Silver Star.) Defense Secretary Leon Panetta may announce the new medal as soon as today.

Ewing praises Hoyas for sticking together amid week of bad news
Georgetown up to 6-3 with Syracuse coming Saturday
By Adam Zielonka - The Washington Times
It was a week of bad news for the Georgetown Hoyas — until they actually stepped onto a basketball court.
Georgetown was hit hard last week when starting point guard James Akinjo and forward Josh LeBlanc left the program to seek transfers, while two other current players plus LeBlanc were cited in restraining orders and multiple allegations involving burglary, harassment and sexual assault.
If the Hoyas were flustered by all that, they didn’t show it on the court. Georgetown hit the road and handed Oklahoma State and Southern Methodist their first losses, improving to 6-3 this season thanks to some of Mac McClung’s best scoring performances of the year.
QUIZ: Can you match the nickname to the NBA player?
Hoyas coach Patrick Ewing said his team was “in a good space” following the whirlwind week and entering Saturday’s rivalry game with former Big East foe Syracuse.
“Naturally it’s rough when you lose two integral parts of your team, two guys that helped you to be successful in the previous year,” Ewing said Wednesday. “But I thought that the guys stuck together, played together as a team and did everything that we needed to do to get two great wins.”
Ewing, the third-year coach and former Georgetown star, said he told his players they still have enough to keep playing well and winning games.
“Nothing to say negative about those guys that are leaving, because they did do some great things to help our program,” Ewing said. “They will be missed. But guys are just stepping up.”
Among them is Terrell Allen, who has been thrust into the starting point guard role. Allen is a graduate transfer from Central Florida, but hails from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Ewing said Allen has been “outstanding” in the increased role after he put up 15 points and five assists against Oklahoma State and 10 assists against SMU.
The star of the show last week, though, was McClung. The sophomore guard dropped 33 points on Oklahoma State and 19 against SMU on his way to Big East Player of the Week honors.
“I think we just came together,” McClung said. “We played really well. Coach seemed pretty pleased. I’m just happy we’ve gotten those two road wins that were really big for us and hopefully give us some momentum going into this game and then the Big East.”
Being away from campus for a few days likely helped the players focus more on basketball and less about the transfers.
“I’m sure it was (helpful). It’s always good to regroup and focus, especially when adversity sets in,” Ewing said. “We were on the road. We were isolated. We were focused on just (playing).”
The turmoil may have died down now, but it’s not necessarily over. Myron Gardner and Galen Alexander are still being investigated by the university’s Office of Student Conduct over complaints filed against them in D.C. Superior Court. Among the accusations is that Gardner sexually assaulted and harassed a student.
Gardner and Alexander have been allowed to play while the investigation continues. Ewing said he hasn’t been given an estimated timetable for when the process will be complete, but cited legal reasons for declining further comment on the pair of players.
Ewing added that he believes the program has “a great culture.”
For now, the focus shifts to Syracuse (5-4). The longstanding rivalry between the two programs remains intense, even though the Orange left the Big East for the ACC. They’ve played annually since 2015, but the Hoyas haven’t beaten Syracuse under Ewing yet, with their last win coming in December 2016. The Orange won by one point last season and by seven points in overtime the year before.
Since taking care of SMU, the Hoyas have been practicing against a zone defense, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim’s strategy of choice.
“Syracuse-Georgetown, that’s something that you always think about,” McClung said. “It’s always the game you want to be in.”

Expression of human glutathione S-transferase P1 mediates the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells

Chemoresistance is a major reason that patients with osteosarcoma fail to achieve a lasting chemotherapy response, and it contributes to disease relapse, progression, and death. Human glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), a phase II detoxification enzyme, contributes to chemoresistance in many cancers. However, the role of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma chemoresistance is ill defined. We hypothesized that GSTP1 has cytoprotective effects in human osteosarcoma. To assess this possibility, we used GSTP1 cDNA transfection or RNA interference to overexpress or suppress GSTP1 in osteosarcoma cells, and assessed the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents on these cells. Our results showed that GSTP1 expression was up-regulated in osteosarcoma cells when they were treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin. GSTP1 overexpression in SAOS-2 osteosarcoma cells caused the cells to be more resistant to doxorubicin and cisplatin. In contrast, GSTP1 suppression in HOS cells caused more apoptosis and extensive DNA damage in response to doxorubicin and cisplatin. The cytotoxicity assay also showed that GSTP1 suppression caused a 2.5-fold increase in cell growth inhibition resulting from doxorubicin and cisplatin treatments [the IC50s are ∼0.16 μmol/L (doxorubicin) and 1.8 μmol/L (cisplatin) for parental HOS versus 0.06 μmol/L (doxorubicin) and 0.75 μmol/L (cisplatin) for GSTP1-silenced HOS]. Moreover, GSTP1 suppression decreased the activation of extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2, which is induced by cisplatin and doxorubicin. Taken together, these findings show that GSTP1 contributes to doxorubicin and cisplatin resistance in osteosarcoma, which may be mediated in part by the activation of extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2. Targeting of GSTP1 combined with chemotherapy may have synergistic therapeutic effects on osteosarcoma. [Mol Cancer Ther 2007;6(5):1610–9]
Glutathione S-transferase P1
Osteosarcoma, the most common primary malignant bone tumor, occurs mainly during childhood and adolescence. Although the combination of surgery and aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy has improved disease-free and overall survival for patients with osteosarcoma, >90% of the patients who present with metastatic osteosarcoma and 30% to 40% with nonmetastatic disease will experience relapse (1, 2). Salvage chemotherapeutic regimens have had limited success, and the disease-free survival duration has not improved significantly over the past 20 years (1–3). Intrinsic or acquired drug resistance is one underlying mechanism contributing to the failure of chemotherapy to elicit a lasting response in these patients (2).
Human glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), one of the cytosolic GSTs that belong to a major group of the phase II detoxification enzyme superfamilies, detoxifies a wide variety of electrophilic compounds including exogenous xenobiotics such as mutagens, anticancer agents, and their metabolites (4). Therefore, GSTP1 is believed to play an important protective role in tumor cell pathogenesis and survival, and the overexpression of GSTP1 has been linked to chemoresistance of a number of cancers (4, 5).
In addition to its detoxification function, by regulating mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) including c-Jun-NH2-kinase (JNK), p38 MAPK, and extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK), GSTP1 is also involved in stress-induced cell survival and death signaling pathways (6–8). GSTP1-mediated JNK inhibition and p38 MAPK and ERK activation might contribute to the protection of cancer cells against oxidative stress (7, 8). In several types of cancers, JNK and ERK1/2 are up-regulated in response to DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin or doxorubicin (9–13). Activation of JNK induced by cisplatin in ovarian carcinoma cells (9), or by doxorubicin in leukemia cells (10), correlates with increased apoptosis. Activation of the ERK pathway may lead to an antiapoptotic effect. It has been shown that inhibition of ERK activity increases the sensitivity of ovarian carcinoma cells to cisplatin treatment (11, 12).
Studies of GSTP1 expression in osteosarcoma and its association with chemoresistance are rare. One study of GSTP1 expression in samples from pediatric patients with osteosarcoma showed that GSTP1 expression might have a bearing on the outcome of treatment with chemotherapy (14). Another study by Bruheim et al. (15) showed that the GSTP1 mRNA level was inversely correlated with doxorubicin growth inhibition in human osteosarcoma xenografts. However, the role that GSTP1 plays in the resistance of osteosarcoma to chemotherapy remains ill defined. In this study, we sought to elucidate this role. We show that the overexpression of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma cells contributes to chemoresistance to doxorubicin and cisplatin, whereas suppression of GSTP1 by gene silencing results in enhanced chemosensitivity. The protective role of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma cell survival may be mediated in part by enhancing the activation of ERK1/2.
All chemical reagents and chemotherapeutic agents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corp., except when indicated. Cisplatin, doxorubicin, or methotrexate was dissolved in DMSO to make stock solutions at concentrations of 33 mmol/L, 100 μmol/L, or 100 mmol/L, respectively. An equivalent amount of DMSO was present in the control medium. Primer oligonucleotides were synthesized by Sigma-Genosys. The restriction endonucleases were all purchased from New England Biolabs.
Cell Culture and Transfection
Osteosarcoma cell lines (SAOS-2, HOS, MNNG-HOS, TE-85, MG-63, KRIB, and U2-OS) and neuroblastoma cells (HTB-10) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. LM-7, a lung metastatic osteosarcoma cell line, was derived from the SAOS-2 cell line by repeating i.v. recycling through the lungs of nude mice seven times (16). The osteosarcoma cell lines OS-187 and WOL were kindly provided by Dr. Dennis Hughes, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Normal human osteoblasts (NHOst) were obtained from Clonetics. The SAOS-2, LM-7, OS-187, WOL, and U2-OS cell lines were cultured in DMEM (supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate, 1 × nonessential amino acids, and 2 mmol/L glutamine). HTB-10 and the other osteosarcoma cell lines were cultured in Eagle's minimal essential medium (supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate, 2× minimal essential medium vitamins, 1× nonessential amino acids, and 2 mmol/L glutamine). NHOst were cultured in osteoblast growth medium (Clonetics) containing 10% FCS and 100 μg/mL ascorbic acid, according to the manufacturer's instructions. All cell lines were incubated at 37°C in humidified 5% CO2.
Transfection was done with LipofectAMINE 2000 Reagent (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stable transfected single cell colonies were selected by incubation of the cells in either 200 μg/mL of hygromycin B for HOS cells transfected with pSilencer plasmids or 500 μg/mL of G418 for SAOS-2 cells transfected with pDsRed2 plasmids. The positive stable transfectants were confirmed by Western blot analysis.
Reverse Transcription-PCR
A reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) was performed to detect the mRNA level of GSTP1 expression, as described previously (17), with modification. Briefly, total RNA was isolated and purified from cultured cells using Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen), and reverse transcription was done using a reverse transcription system kit with oligo-dT primer (Promega Corporation) according to the manufacturer's instructions. PCR was then done using an iTaq DNA polymerase kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories) with the primers 5′-acgtggcaggagggctcactc-3′ (forward) and 5′-tactcaggggaggccaggaa-3′ (reverse). The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA level was detected as an internal control for normalization. Densitometric analysis was used to calculate the relative expression of GSTP1.
Construction of GSTP1 Expression Plasmids
RT-PCR was performed to amplify GSTP1 Ile105 full-length cDNAs from HOS cells. PCR primers were 5′-ccaagcttaccatgccgccctacacc-3′ (forward) and 5′-ccggatcctgtttcccgttgccat-3′ (reverse), with BamHI and HindIII restriction endonuclease recognition sites (underlined) on the ends. PCR was performed in 50 μL at 95°C for 2 min, 35 cycles at 95°C for 30 s, 58°C for 1 min, and 72°C for 1 min, and followed by 72°C for 10 min. PCR products were subcloned into the pCR2.1 plasmids (Invitrogen) and expanded in DH5 alpha cells (Invitrogen). Full-length GSTP1 cDNA fragments digested from the pCR2.1 by restriction endonuclease were then ligated to the mammalian expression plasmid pDsRed2-N1 (Clontech) using T4 DNA ligase (Promega). GSTP1 cDNAs subcloned into this vector were expressed as fusions to the NH2 terminus of DsRed2 (red fluorescent protein). GSTP1 sequences were confirmed by DNA sequencing.
Construction of Small Interfering RNA Expression Plasmids
Five small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences targeting human GSTP1 mRNA were selected on the basis of the following sequences published in Genbank (gi:6552334): 339 to 357 tacatctccctcatctaca (GSTP1−339si); 377 to 395 ggatgactatgtgaaggca (GSTP1−377si); 451 to 469 agaccttcattgtgggaga (GSTP1−451si); 475 to 493 tctccttcgctgactacaa (GSTP1−475si); and 509 to 527 gctgatccatgaggtccta (GSTP1−509si). The numbers before the sequences indicate the encoding region of the GSTP1 mRNA nucleotide. pSilencer 2.1-U6 hygro plasmid (Ambion) was used for the construction of vector-expressing hairpin siRNA to suppress GSTP1 expression. Five pairs of DNA oligonucleotides were chemically synthesized in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The construction procedures and the siRNA control vector used have been described previously (18). All constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing.
Cell lysates were prepared using either cell lysis buffer [20 mmol/L HEPES (pH 7.4), 1% Triton X-100, and 10% glycerol] or radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (fresh 10 mmol/L sodium fluoride and 1 mmol/L sodium vanadate, added for JNK and ERK1/2 assays) containing 1× protease inhibitor (Calbiochem) and were collected by centrifugation at 12,000 × g, at 4°C. Total protein concentration was measured using the bicinchoninic acid assay kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories) with bovine serum albumin as a standard. The protein was denatured by boiling for 10 min in the presence of the sample buffer [0.5 m Tris (pH 6.8), 10% glycerol, 10% SDS, 5% 2-mercaptoethanol, and 1% bromophenol]. Protein (30 μg) was electrophoresed by SDS-PAGE on a 10% or 12% polyacrylamide separating gel for 90 min at 100 V. After the protein was transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore), the membrane was first blocked with 5% powdered skim milk in TBST [138 mmol/L NaCl, 2.7 mmol/L KCl (pH 7.4), and 0.1% Tween 20] for 1 h, and then the protein was detected with antihuman polyclonal GSTP1 (Lab Vision Corporation), GSTM1, GSTA1 (Alpha Diagnostic), antibodies, antihuman phospho-JNK, phospho-ERK1/2 antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology), or polyclonal tubulin and monoclonal actin antibodies (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) overnight at 4°C. The levels of total JNK and total ERK1/2 were measured by reprobing the blots or probing the blots obtained from the same amount of cell lysates with monoclonal antibodies against total JNK and ERK1/2 (Cell Signaling). The second antibody was visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection Western blotting analysis system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Densitometric analyses were performed to quantify Western blotting signals and normalized against that of actin or tubulin.
Cytotoxicity Assay
The [3H]thymidine incorporation assay has been described previously (19). Briefly, osteosarcoma cells were seeded in flat-bottomed 96-well plates at a density of 3,000 (HOS) or 5,000 (SAOS-2) cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight. The cells were treated with chemotherapeutic agents for 48 h and labeled with 0.2 Ci/well of [3H]thymidine (ICN Radiochemicals) during the last 24 h. Triplicate wells were used for each treatment group. Incorporation of the radioactive tracer was quantified, and the percentage of cytostasis was calculated as follows: [(A − B) / A] × 100, where A is the number of counts per minute of cells treated with medium alone and B is the number of counts per minute of cells treated with drugs. IC50 was then calculated on the basis of these cytotoxicity results.
Osteosarcoma cells (105) were seeded in each well of a six-well plate and allowed to adhere overnight. After treating with chemotherapeutic agents for 72 h, these cells were harvested by trypsinization, labeled with Annexin V and PI using an apoptosis detection kit (BD PharMingen) according to the manufacturer's instructions, and subsequently analyzed using FACScan (Becton Dickinson and Company).
GST Activity Assay
GST enzyme activity was determined by measuring the enzyme's ability to catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (20). A GST activity assay kit was purchased from Cayman Chemical. In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, cell lysates (50 μL) containing 107 cells were applied to each reaction. The conjugation resulted in an increase in absorbance at 340 nm. The rate of increase was proportional to the GST activity in the cell lysate samples.
Glutathione Concentration Measurement
A colorimetric assay kit from Cayman Chemical was used to measure the concentrations of intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Cells were harvested by gentle scraping and lysate samples were prepared by sonication in MES buffer [0.2 mol/L 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid, 50 mmol/L phosphate, and 1 mmol/L EDTA (pH 6.0)]. The assay was done according to the manufacturer's instructions and the absorbance was measured at 5-min intervals for 30 min at 414 nm using a plate reader (Molecular Devices Corp.). The GSH concentration values were calculated and normalized to the protein concentration within each sample. GSH was obtained by subtracting GSSG from total GSH, and the GSSG/GSH ration was calculated.
Alkaline Comet Assay
The extent of DNA damage caused by chemotherapeutic agents in the osteosarcoma cells was measured by an alkaline comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis), as described previously (21, 22). Briefly, cells embedded in 0.5% agarose gel were spread on a microscope slide precoated with 1% agarose gel. After the cells were lysed with lysing solution [2.5 mol/L NaCl, 10 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 100 mmol/L edetate disodium, 1% Triton, and 10% DMSO (pH 10)] for 1 h at 4°C, the nuclei left on the slides were exposed to the electrophoresis buffer [0.3 mol/L NaOH and 1 mmol/L EDTA (pH 13.5)] for 20 min at 4°C followed by alkaline gel electrophoresis at 300 mA, at 4°C for 20 min. After electrophoresis, DNA was visualized by SYBR Green l (BD PharMingen) staining. The tail moment, which reflected the DNA fragments resulting from DNA damage, was observed under a fluorescence microscope of Nikon Eclipse TE2000-U (Nikon, Japan). The images were captured with a charge-coupled device camera connected to a computer and were analyzed using Scion image software (Scion Corporation). Tail moment was calculated as the tail length multiplied by the fraction of DNA in the comet tail.
Data are expressed as means ± SD. Analysis was done using ANOVA and the two-tailed Student's t test, with P < 0.05 being considered statistically significant.
GSTP1 Overexpression in Human Osteosarcoma
As determined by Western blotting, intrinsic GSTP1 expression was found in all 10 available osteosarcoma cell lines. Eight showed strong expression compared with the NHOst in which GSTP1 expression was weakly detectable (Fig. 1 ).
GSTP1 expression in human osteosarcoma cell lines. Whole-cell protein was extracted from the cells of NHOst, 10 human osteosarcoma cell lines, HTB-10 (for positive controls), and MCF (for negative controls). Immunoblotting was performed to detect GSTP1 expressions in the cells. Actin was also detected as a sample loading control.
GSTP1 Expression Was Inducible by Cisplatin and Doxorubicin
DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin and doxorubicin, are commonly used in chemotherapeutic regimens for osteosarcoma. To investigate how GSTP1 responds to treatment with cisplatin and doxorubicin in osteosarcoma, Western blotting and semiquantitative RT-PCR were done to assess GSTP1 expression in SAOS-2 and HOS cells after exposure to these agents. As shown in Fig. 2 , GSTP1 expression in SAOS-2 cells treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin was up-regulated at both the mRNA levels (Fig. 2A, top) and protein levels (Fig. 2B, top). In HOS cells, the GSTP1 protein levels (Fig. 2B, bottom) were also increased after 12-h exposure to doxorubicin and cisplatin; however, the mRNA levels (Fig. 2A, bottom) did not show an obvious change. In contrast, there was no inducible GSTP1 expression in SAOS-2 or HOS cells treated with methotrexate, a non–DNA-damaging chemoagent, for 48 or 24 h, respectively. The GSTP1 decrease at 72 h is likely a result of cellular cytotoxicity caused by methotrexate treatment.
GSTP1 expression was inducible in human osteosarcoma cell lines by doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (CDDP) treatments. SAOS-2 and HOS osteosarcoma cells were treated with 0.1 μmol/L of doxorubicin, 5 μmol/L of cisplatin, or 100 μmol/L of methotrexate (MTX) for the indicated times. A, total RNA was extracted from treated and untreated osteosarcoma cells. GSTP1 mRNA expression in the SAOS-2 cells (top) or HOS cells (bottom) was quantified by RT-PCR, and the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA level was used as an internal control. The relative expression of GSTP1 was normalized against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by densitometric analysis. B, whole-cell protein, extracted from SAOS-2 cells (top) or HOS cells (bottom) was subjected to immunoblotting analyses for GSTP1 expression. The relative expression of GSTP1 was normalized with actin by densitometric analysis.
GSTP1 Overexpression Reduced the Chemosensitivity of Osteosarcoma Cells
We have examined the polymorphic phenotype of human GSTP1 allelic variants expressed in the osteosarcoma cell lines and the results showed that GSTP1 Ile105 was the allele predominantly expressed in the osteosarcoma cell lines (data not shown). GSTP1 Ile105 was thus selected for overexpression. pDsRed2-GSTP1 Ile105 was subcloned (data not shown) and transfected into the SAOS-2 cells that have intrinsically low endogenous GSTP1 expression. The stable single cell colonies were then selected by exposing the cells to 500 μg/mL of G418 for 3 months. Western blot analysis (Fig. 3A ) and fluorescence microscopy detection (data not shown) confirmed the overexpression of the GSTP1 protein in the SAOS-2 transfectants. This increased expression of GSTP1 protein resulted in a 3- to 4-fold increase in GST enzyme activity compared with SAOS-2 cells transfected with vector alone (Fig. 3B). Parental SAOS-2 cells and transfectants were then used to assess the effect of GSTP1 on chemoresistance. As measured by a [3H]thymidine incorporation assay, the SAOS-2 transfectant of GSTP1 had an ∼2-fold increase in IC50 for the 48-h treatment of doxorubicin and cisplatin, compared with the IC50 of the parental and vector-transfected SAOS-2 cells (Table 1 ).
Overexpression of GSTP1 in SAOS-2 cells. A, SAOS-2 cells were stably transfected with GSTP1 cDNA (pDsRed2-GSTP1) or vector (pDsRed2). Whole-cell protein extracts were used for immunoblotting analyses. Overexpression of GSTP1 protein (fusion with the fluorescent protein DsRed2, ∼50 kDa) in SAOS-2 cells after transfection was confirmed by Western blotting. The intrinsic GSTP1 (∼25 kDa) was expressed at low levels in both parental cells and transfectants. B, GST activities of conjugation of reduced GSH with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) were measured as described in Materials and Methods. As GSTP1 activity of parental SAOS-2 cells was considered as 1, the relative GSTP1 activity of the transfectants was normalized (*, P < 0.01).
Cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin and cisplatin on SAOS-2 and HOS cells
RNA Interference Suppressed GSTP1 Expression in HOS Cells
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful technique for silencing specific gene expression and has a potential use for therapy. To further investigate the role of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma chemosensitivity, the HOS cell line, which expressed high endogenous GSTP1, was transfected with an individual pSilencer plasmid construct designed to express GSTP1-siRNAs. Stable single-cell colonies of transfected HOS cells were then selected by exposure to 200 μg/mL of hygromycin for 2 weeks. As shown in Fig. 4A , GSTP1 protein expression in three colonies transfected with GSTP1−339si and three colonies transfected with GSTP1−377si were decreased (GSTP1−339si resulted in >90% decrease). In cells transfected with a control vector, GSTP1 expression was unchanged compared with GSTP1 expression in parental HOS cells. The HOS sublines of HOS-339si-3, -6, and -10 were used in subsequent experiments. The mRNA level (Fig. 4B) and activity of GSTP1 (Fig. 4C) in HOS-339si-3, -6, and -10 were also decreased. The GSTP1-339si targets the sequences that contain an encoding region specifically for GSTP1 Ile105, an allele expressed in HOS. In addition, GSTP1-339si transfection did not affect the expression of other GST isoforms (GSTM1 and GSTA1) in HOS cells (Fig. 4D). Taken together, these results imply that GSTP1-339si was able to suppress GSTP1 expression in HOS cells specifically.
GSTP1 expression was suppressed by vector-based siRNA transfection in HOS cells. A, HOS cells were stably transfected with pSilencer constructs (GSTP1–339si, 377si, 451si, 475si, 509si, or control). GSTP1 suppression in stable colonies resulting from transfection of 339si (HOS-339si-3, -6, -10) or 377si (HOS-377si-3, -6, -9) was confirmed by immunoblotting analyses. B and C, GSTP1 mRNA levels and GST activities for parental HOS and transfectants were determined by RT-PCR and an activity assay as described in Materials and Methods. The relative levels of GSTP1 mRNA and GST activity were shown and compared with those of parental HOS and HOS-control. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.01. D, the expression of GSTA1 or GSTM1 (other GST isoforms) in HOS cells was not affected by GST-339si transfection.
GSTP1 Suppression Increased DNA Damage, Apoptosis, and Cytotoxicity of HOS Cells by Doxorubicin and Cisplatin
The DNA-damaging effects of cisplatin result from its interaction with DNA to form DNA adducts, either interstrand or intrastrand cross-links (23), whereas doxorubicin acts via the induction of either single- or double-stranded DNA breaks by stabilizing the topo II-DNA complex (24). The alkaline comet assay indicated that the GSTP1-silenced HOS cells were more sensitive to doxorubicin-induced DNA strand breaks, as shown by more DNA tail moments (Fig. 5A ). Because cisplatin induced DNA cross-linking adduction, which would decrease DNA tail moments, the cisplatin-treated HOS cells were exposed to cesium irradiation to break the DNA, and then the alkaline comet assay was performed. The results showed that GSTP1-silenced HOS cells had decreased DNA tail moments, which could reflect the more extensive cross-linking of DNA induced by cisplatin. Moreover, as shown in Fig. 5B, GSTP1-silenced HOS cells were more sensitive to apoptosis induced by doxorubicin or cisplatin than were HOS cells expressing GSTP1. As measured by the [3H]thymidine incorporation assay (Table 1), the HOS-339si cells were more sensitive to the treatment of doxorubicin (IC50 ∼0.06 μmol/L) or cisplatin (IC50 ∼0.7 μmol/L) than the parental HOS (IC50 ∼0.16 μmol/L) or HOS-control cells (IC50 ∼1.8 μmol/L). These results suggested that GSTP1 suppression amplifies the DNA damage induced by doxorubicin and cisplatin, and results in increased apoptosis and cytotoxicity in osteosarcoma cells.
GSTP1 suppression increased DNA damage and apoptosis by doxorubicin (DOX) or cisplatin (CDDP) in HOS cells. A and B, parental HOS cells and transfectants were treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin at the indicated concentrations for 48 h. A, a comet assay was done to assess DNA damage (top), as described in Materials and Methods. Before undergoing electrophoresis, the cells harvested after cisplatin treatment were exposed to cesium irradiation at 15 Gy to break DNA that was cross-linked by cisplatin, whereas the cells harvested after doxorubicin treatment were subjected to electrophoresis directly. SYBR green staining visualized DNA, and DNA strand breakage or cross-linking was determined by assessing the DNA tail moment. The extent of the DNA breakage or cross-linking was quantified by assessing the tail moment (bottom). The percentage of tail moments for the cells treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin was normalized to that of untreated cells, which was expressed as 100%. Twenty to 30 cells were scored for each treatment. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.05 when compared with HOS-control cells treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin. B, cells were collected by trypsinization and then labeled with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide. Apoptotic cells staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide were determined by fluorescence signals of Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide on a flow cytometer.
GSTP1 Suppression Decreases the Level of Phospho-ERK1/2 Induced by Doxorubicin and Cisplatin
JNK and ERK1/2 MAPK pathways are involved in the cellular response of osteosarcoma to the treatments of cisplatin and doxorubicin. The activation of ERK1/2 or JNK was measured by phosphorylation via Western blot analysis. As shown in Fig. 6 , doxorubicin and cisplatin were able to up-regulate activated forms of phospho-JNK and phospo-ERK1/2 in parental, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells as expected. Interestingly, GSTP1 suppression in HOS-339si-3 resulted in decreases of the levels of phospho-ERK1/2 induced by cisplatin and doxorubicin (Fig. 6A). However, GSTP1 did not alter the levels of phospho-JNK induction (Fig. 6B). These results suggest that the protective roles of GSTP1 against apoptosis triggered by doxorubicin and cisplatin may be mediated by the activation of ERK1/2 rather than JNK in HOS cells.
Doxorubicin (DOX) or cisplatin (CDDP) induced ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylations and oxidative stress in HOS cells. Cells were treated with 0.5 μmol/L of doxorubicin or 5 μmol/L of cisplatin for the indicated times. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting analyses or assay for GSH and GSSG, as described in Materials and Methods. A, phospho-ERK1/2 was induced by treatment with doxorubicin (top) or cisplatin (bottom) in parental, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells. The inductions of phospho-ERK1/2 were decreased in the HOS-339si-3 cells in which GSTP1 expression was suppressed compared with that in HOS or HOS-control cells. B, treatment of HOS, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells with doxorubicin or cisplatin increased phospho-JNK by 4 to 12 h. However, the inductions of phospho-JNK were similar in all cell lines and independent on GSTP1 expression. C to F, GSH and GSSG concentrations were measured, and the GSSG/GSH ratio was calculated. The concentrations are expressed as nmol of GSH equivalents/mg of protein. GSSG concentration and GSSG/GSH ratio were considered as 0 when GSSG was undetectable. The levels of intracellular GSH and GSSG/GSH ratio in HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells untreated or treated with doxorubicin or cisplatin for 2 to 12 h are shown. Columns, mean; bars, SD; *, P < 0.05.
Doxorubicin or Cisplatin Causes Oxidative Stresses in HOS Cells
Either doxorubicin or cisplatin could lead to intracellular oxidative stress (25), which may serve to induce MAPK activations (26). We thus assayed the intracellular oxidative stress caused by doxorubicin or cisplatin treatment via determining intracellular GSH and GSSG levels in HOS cells. In untreated HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells, GSH concentrations were similar (30.77 ± 5.03 versus 30.7 ± 0.11 nmol/mg protein), whereas GSSG concentrations were very low or were not detectable in some experiments. As shown in Fig. 6C–F, either 0.5 μmol/L of doxorubicin or 5 μmol/L of cisplatin treatment for 2 to 12 h could cause a decrease in the GSH level and an increase in the GSSG/GSH ratio in both HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells, indicating the generation of oxidative stress by doxorubicin or cisplatin. HOS-339si-3 cells treated with cisplatin have a higher GSSG/GSH ratio than that in HOS-control cells; however, no significant difference in the GSSG/GSH ratio was observed between HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells treated with doxorubicin. These results suggest that suppression of GSTP1 in HOS-339si-3 cells was responsible for higher-level oxidative stress caused by cisplatin rather than by doxorubicin. In addition, although doxorubicin causes the same levels of intracellular oxidative stresses between HOS-control and HOS-339si-3 cells, the ERK1/2 activation induced by doxorubicin in HOS-control cells was higher than that in HOS-339si-3 cells.
Our findings show that the overexpression of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma cells contributes to chemoresistance to doxorubicin and cisplatin, which may be mediated by the induction of phospho-ERK1/2. Indeed, GSTP1 was overexpressed and could be up-regulated by doxorubicin and cisplatin in osteosarcoma cell lines. The forced expression of GSTP1 enhanced the chemoresistance of SAOS-2 cells to doxorubicin and cisplatin. RNAi-mediated GSTP1 suppression enhanced HOS cell sensitivity to doxorubicin- or cisplatin-induced DNA damage, apoptosis, and cytotoxicity. Furthermore, GSTP1 suppression decreased the level of phospho-ERK 1/2 induction by cisplatin and doxorubicin.
GSTP1 has been associated with the chemoresistance and poor overall survival of patients with several types of cancer. Specifically, it has been reported that GSTP1 contributes to cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer (27), colon cancer (28), head and neck cancer (29), breast cancer (30), and lung cancer (31) as well as to doxorubicin resistance in ovarian cancer (27) and laryngeal carcinoma cell lines (32). Because doxorubicin and cisplatin are commonly used for treating osteosarcoma, the overexpression of GSTP1 detected in all of our osteosarcoma cell lines strongly suggests that GSTP1 also contributes to chemoresistance in osteosarcoma.
The mechanism by which GSTP1 contributes to chemoresistance to doxorubicin and cisplatin remains unclear. Recently, several studies have shown that GSTP1 participates in the MAPK pathways by either inhibiting JNK phosphorylation or augmenting ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylations (6–8), protecting the cells from cell death or apoptosis (7, 8). Because chemotherapeutic DNA-damaging agents such as doxorubicin and cisplatin induce phosphorylations of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK, it was expected that GSTP1 would modulate these MAPK activities in osteosarcoma cells treated with doxorubicin and cisplatin, which would in turn affect chemoresistance.
Indeed, both ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylations were induced by the treatment of either doxorubicin or cisplatin in a time-dependent manner in HOS osteosarcoma cells. Compared with parental and HOS-control cells, HOS-339si-3 cells with GSTP1 suppression by RNAi had a lower level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation after 2- to 12-h treatments with cisplatin or doxorubicin. However, the levels of JNK phosphorylation induced by doxorubicin and cisplatin treatment were increased equally in parental, HOS-control, and HOS-339si-3 cells. It is known that either cisplatin or doxorubicin treatment leads to cellular oxidative stress (25). The accumulation of reactive oxygen species caused by UV light, H2O2, or certain chemotherapeutic compounds could induce the activation of multiple stress kinase cascades including ERK and JNK signaling pathways (7, 26). Our data also showed that cisplatin or doxorubicin could cause oxidative stress in HOS cells. Therefore, the activations of ERK1/2 and JNK in HOS cells may be induced by oxidative stress resulting from doxorubicin or cisplatin treatment. However, the extent of ERK1/2 activation is not correlated to intracellular oxidative stress in HOS cells treated with doxorubicin. We assume that the oxidative stress generated in HOS cells may serve to initiate, but not sustain, ERK1/2 and JNK activation. The effect of GSTP1 on increasing ERK1/2 activation may be independent of oxidative stress, and its mechanism needs further investigation. On the other hand, it has been shown that GSTP1 inhibits JNK activation by direct protein-protein interactions of GSTP1 and JNK in nonstressed cells. Under conditions of oxidative stress; however, the dissociation of GSTP1-JNK complex occurs and the effect of GSTP1 on the inhibition of JNK activation is reversed (6). Thus, our results show that GSTP1 did not inhibit JNK activation in HOS cells treated with cisplatin or doxorubicin, which may be due to the dissociation of GSTP1-JNK complex resulting from oxidative stress caused by chemotherapeutic agents.
Overall, the results of this study show that GSTP1 modulates ERK1/2 rather than JNK activation in HOS osteosarcoma cells triggered by doxorubicin or cisplatin. Conversely, GSTP1 suppression in HOS-339si cells resulted in increased cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis in response to doxorubicin and cisplatin. These results suggest that the protective role of GSTP1 in osteosarcoma cell survival may be mediated in part by promoting the activation of ERK1/2.
GSTP1 expression can be regulated by an epigenetic mechanism. The hypermethylation of CpG islands in the GSTP1 gene promoter results in down-regulation of GSTP1 expression in prostate cancers (33). On the other hand, GSTP1 expression can be up-regulated by certain chemical agents (34), chemoagents (35), and oxidants (hydrogen peroxide; ref. 36). In our study, GSTP1 protein expression was elevated in SAOS-2 and HOS cells and the GSTP1 mRNA level was also elevated in SAOS-2 cells while the cells were being treated with 0.1 μmol/L of doxorubicin or 5 μmol/L of cisplatin, although there was no change of GSTP1 mRNA level in HOS cells, which may be due to the higher level of intrinsic GSTP1 mRNA in HOS cells so that RT-PCR was unable to detect the change of up-regulated GSTP1. Therefore, it seems that elevated GSTP1 expression in osteosarcoma in response to chemotherapy represents a mechanism of acquired drug resistance for osteosarcoma. Several transcription factors, including activator protein 1, nuclear factor κB, and nuclear factor E2–related factor 2, which are responsible for cellular oxidative stress, have been shown to be involved in GSTP1 gene up-regulation (35, 37–39). Oxidative stress resulting from treatments with the DNA-damaging agents doxorubicin and cisplatin, rather than methotrexate, may provide an explanation for GSTP1 induction in osteosarcoma cells. In addition, Usami et al. (40) reported that down-regulation of the proteosome by either inhibitor or RNAi resulted in the induction of GSTP1 and activation of MAPKs and suggested that JNK was likely responsible for the GSTP1 induction. Our results also showed that cisplatin and doxorubicin induced both GSTP1 expression and activation of JNK and ERK1/2 in HOS osteosarcoma cells. Collectively, we assume that both cellular oxidative stress and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway in response to cisplatin and doxorubicin treatments may play roles in GSTP1 induction in osteosarcoma cells.
Inhibiting GSTP1 has emerged as a therapeutic strategy for overcoming chemoresistance. GSTP1 inhibitor TER 199 (4), a glutathione analogue, has been used to increase the chemosensitivity of tumor cells in patients. Turella et al. (41) reported that a glutathione S-transferase inhibitor, 6-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-ylthio)hexanol, had cytotoxic effects on tumor cells by triggering apoptosis and thus was a promising anticancer drug. RNAi has also emerged as a potential therapy for various diseases, including cancers, by silencing specific pathologic genes. Our findings showed that a vector-based RNAi was capable of silencing GSTP1 expression almost completely in HOS cells at the protein level, resulting in HOS cells that were more sensitive to doxorubicin and cisplatin. These results suggest that the RNAi of GSTP1 combined with chemotherapeutic agents have synergistic effects against osteosarcoma.
In conclusion, we showed here that GSTP1 was overexpressed and inducible in osteosarcoma cells, and increased GSTP1 expression enhanced ERK1/2 activation and drug resistance of osteosarcoma cells in response to doxorubicin and cisplatin. Moreover, suppression of GSTP1 by RNAi enhanced the osteosarcoma cells' sensitivity to doxorubicin and cisplatin. These findings suggest that GSTP1 contributes to osteosarcoma chemoresistance and that the targeting of GSTP1 by RNAi combined with chemotherapy provides a potential synergistic therapy for patients with osteosarcoma.

Elias Vaughn
====The Betreka Nebula Incident==== In [[2328]], the [[Cardassian Union]] and [[Klingon Empire]] threatened to go to war over the planet [[Raknal V]] near the [[Betreka Nebula]]. The Cardassians claimed the world as their own, but the Klingons disputed the claim after the remains of the vessel of the legendary Klingon Captain [[Ch'gran]] were discovered on the surface. The Klingons, who wished to recover the legendary hero's vessel, argued that the presence of Ch'gran's ship on the planet constituted a prior claim to the planet. Vaughn was assigned to the Starfleet-hosted arbitration delegation for the dispute aboard the {{USS|Carthage|Miranda class}}. [[Federation]] [[Ambassador]] [[Curzon Dax]] arranged an agreement between the two powers wherein whichever government could best develop the world's resources would ultimately take the planet. Vaughn was very skeptical about this plan, and said so. His skepticism was proved out as the so-called "[[Betreka Nebula Incident]]" stretched out for eighteen years with few tangible results. It was aboard the ''Carthage'' that Vaughn first met the ship's [[science officer]] [[Lieutenant]] [[Ian Andrew Troi]], with whom he began a long friendship. Vaughn would eventually be introduced to Troi's wife [[Lwaxana Troi|Lwaxana]], and children, [[Kestra Troi|Kestra]] and [[Deanna Troi|Deanna]]. He attended Kestra's funeral on [[Betazed]] in [[2336]]. ({{n|TLE|The Art of the Impossible}})

United Earth, United Federation of Planets
Interspecies Medical Exchange
Jeremy Lucas was a Human male who lived in the 22nd century. He was an accomplished medical doctor, a member of the Interspecies Medical Exchange and a close friend of Doctor Phlox.
Biography Edit
Doctor Lucas joined the Interspecies Medical Exchange where he met and befriended fellow doctor Phlox. Eventually, the two got different postings, but they remained in regular contact through letters.
In 2151, he got a position in a busy city hospital on Denobula, and in one of his letters to Phlox he complained about the stress of the mating season, but found the Denobulan people amazingly complex. (ENT episode: "Dear Doctor")
Lucas remained on Denobula until March of 2153, when the Xindi probe attacked Earth. He was recalled to aid in the relief efforts in the wake of the devastation. (ENT episode: "Doctor's Orders")
In early 2154, he was assigned to the IME pathogen storage and research facility Cold Station 12 as Senior Medical Director. A crisis soon arose when Doctor Arik Soong and his Augments attacked the station to steal the Augment embryos stored there. Lucas refused to give Soong the access codes even when Deputy Director Iyer was killed with Symbalene blood burn. He remained defiant until Malik threatened to kill Phlox as well, who had arrived on the station as part of a rescue team from the Enterprise (NX-01). The Augments fled with the embryos, but before he left, Malik flooded most of C12 with the stored pathogens. Lucas and his staff remained behind for clean up efforts that he estimated would take a year. (ENT episodes: "Cold Station 12", "The Augments")
When a plague broke out on the planet Sauria in 2164, Lucas was member of the IME relief team that was sent there. For months, Lucas and his fellow doctors worked hard to find a cure, but they were unsuccessful until Charles Tucker III, disguised as Albert Sims, and Antonio Ruiz managed to obtain an antiserum from on of Maltuvis's hospitals. It turned out that the Saurian dictator used the plague as a means to invade one country after another on the planet and turn the population against off-worlders. Lucas and Ruiz gave the cure to Presider Moxat of the Global League, who distributed it as a Saurian invention. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel)
The next year, Lucas returned to Denobula to attend the wedding of Vaneel, one of Phlox's daughters and Pehle Retab, an Antaran. After the ceremony, the father-in-law, Sohon Retab was murdered by Mettus and Phlox had to remain behind for the trial and to support his family. Since Phlox's ship the USS Endeavour had to depart for Ware space for an important mission, Doctor Lucas agreed to to take his friends place as chief medical officer temporarily.

56th Annual Crockett Lion’s Club Rodeo to Start Thursday, May 11
Cheril Vernon
By Cody Thompson
Messenger Reporter
CROCKETT – Slap on your spurs, put on your pearl-snap shirt and get ready for three days of bull riding and bronco busting because the 56th Annual Crockett Lion’s Club Rodeo is right around the corner. The event starts on Thursday, May 11 and continues through Saturday, May 13 at the Porth Ag Arena in Crockett.
“The rodeo is always a lot of fun for us and the community and we’re hoping for a good turnout this year,” Crockett Lion’s Club chairman Heath Murff told the Messenger.
For over 50 years, the rodeo has attracted some of the best cowboys and cowgirls the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association has to offer to compete against the world’s best bucking stock.
“We’ve got a great lineup of cowboys and cowgirls for this year’s rodeo,” Murff said. “A lot of them are regulars that have been coming here for over 20 years.”
This year’s rodeo will also feature bull riding newcomer Boudreaux Campbell of Lovelady.
“This isn’t my first year to ride in the rodeo, but it is my first year to do it as a pro,” Campbell told the Messenger on Friday.
Campbell has been involved in the rodeo circuit since the age of four and was brought in as a member of the PRCA in 2016.
“I’ve been doing this my whole life,” Campbell said. “I’ve done everything from mutton busting up to bull riding.”
Campbell is scheduled to ride on Saturday, May 13.
The rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. each night. The riding stock is provided by the Andrew Rodeo Company in Ponca City, Okla.
“The Lion’s Club really wants to thank the Andrew Rodeo Company for being so loyal to the rodeo,” Murff said. “They’ve been providing the riding stock for the rodeo for close to 30 years now.”
There will be no rodeo queen ceremony at this year’s Lion’s Club rodeo, according to Murff.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t get a big enough turnout from the county for rodeo queen this year so we had to cancel it,” Murff said.
This is the second time in the rodeo’s 56 year run that there has not been a rodeo queen ceremony, Murff said.
“We’re hoping that we have more of the girls in the county interested so we can bring the ceremony back,” Murff said.
This year, patrons can buy drawing tickets for a chance to win a brand-new John Deere Gator all-terrain vehicle.
Drawing ticket prices are $5 for individual tickets, $20 for five and $100 for 50. A booth will be set up in front of the arena where tickets can be purchased.
Admission will be $15 for adults and $7 for children 6 to 12-years-old. Children under the age of 6 enter free of charge.
All proceeds from the rodeo are placed back into the community through the Lion’s Club’s many community service projects, according to Murff.
“The rodeo is our (the Lion’s Club) biggest fundraiser every year,” Murff said. “The more people that come to support us means we get more money to put back into the community.”

Home VINYL Paul DEMARINIS “Songs Without Throats”
Paul DEMARINIS
"Songs Without Throats"
Label: BLACK TRUFFLE (AU)
Format: 2 LP
Catalog Reference: BT 041 Categories: HIGHLIGHTS, VINYL
Paul DEMARINIS | "Songs Without Throats" quantity
Paul DeMarinis is a key figure in the history of electronic music since the 1970s. Collaborator with the likes of Robert Ashley, David Behrman, and David Tudor, DeMarinis is a pioneer in the development of gallery sound installation and digital music technologies. Black Truffle is thrilled to announce the release of a double-LP collection, selected in collaboration with the artist, focussing on DeMarinis’s exploration of synthesized voice and the digital analysis and manipulation of speech sounds. Drawing together tracks dispersed on compilations along with a number of pieces previously unheard in any form, Songs Without Throats offers a revelatory look into DeMarinis’s alternately accessible and uncompromising production between 1978 and 1995.
Opening with a mesmerizing piece from 1978 pairing the voice and tamboura playing of Anne Klingensmith with strings of letters spat out by a Speak n’ Spell to the accompaniment of the randomised melodic patterns of DeMarinis’s homebuilt electronic instrument ‘The Pygmy Gamelan’, the record then dispenses with the live human voice in favour of its recorded and synthetic doubles. We follow DeMarinis’s restless probing of the possibilities of new technologies, from the hacked Speak n’ Spell (which gives us the austere ‘Et Tu, Klaatu’ 1979, another duet with Klingensmith, this time on bowed psaltery, in which the toy’s synthetic voice is stretched into an alien song) through to the use of digital audio samples manipulated with home computer technology in the early 1990s (including a remarkable dream-like collage piece that weaves a rare recording of Stalin’s voice and bird-like electronic twittering derived from its formant-glides into a rich tapestry of samples reflective of the dictator’s musical life).
In between we get a rich sampling of DeMarinis’s signature work with speech melodies – usually unnoticed melodic inflections that lie within speech patterns – which he analyses and translates into synthesized musical accompaniment. These pieces draw on a wide variety of textual and vocal sources, which range from the hilarious to the menacing (‘Cincinatti [1830-1850]’ sets a detailed description of butchering techniques, for example) and an equally broad range of musical conceptions, combining elements as seemingly unlikely as Beethoven’s Opus 31 pianos sonatas and the sounds of 80s synth pop. The results are an extraordinary combination of the alien and the familiar. As DeMarinis himself characterises his work with vocal synthesis, this is ‘a kind of signal that simultaneously carried and obscured meaning and ideation, even as it created a sound world totally alien in esthetic’.

Gree enters UK air-conditioning market
Gree, the Chinese air-conditioning manufacturer that produces some 60 million residential air conditioners and 5.5 million commercial systems a year, has set up a UK operation — Gree UK Ltd. Part of the Calibre Services Group (alongside established ACR specialists Klima-Therm, LH Plc and Next Controls), Gree UK wil supply the manufacturer’s full range of splits, VRF, heat pumps, chillers and award-winning solarPV-powered systems across the UK.
Gree is the world’s largest air-conditioning manufacturer. It has nine factories and annual sales of £16 billion, representing one in three of the air-conditioning systems produced in the world. There are 8000 R&D engineers in 570 laboratories and five research institutes across the world. The company has over 20 000 technology patents, nearly 7000 invention patents and some 300 million users of its air-conditioning systems worldwide.
Roberto Mallozzi, managing director of Gree UK (pictured) and well known as managing director of Klima-Therm, said, ‘In a lifetime of experience of this industry, Gree is one of the most impressive and innovative air-conditioning manufacturers I have ever encountered. The name may not be well known in the UK at present, but that is something we intend to change.
‘The fact that Gree manufactures for most of the world’s premium air-conditioning brands says a lot about its quality credentials and approach, and its high standing — even among competitors.’
The product range covers all main air-conditioning and heat-pump technologies — from mobiles and small splits for domestic and light-commercial applications, through VRF heat pumps and up to large centrifugal chillers with several megawatts of cooling capacity.
The company has developed an inverter-driven chiller that is directly powered by solarPV. There is also a range of VRF equipment that is powered by solarPV.
Gree UK is backing the launch with substantial investment in stocks for immediate availability, a comprehensive spare-parts service and a a generous warranty scheme. The company has its own dedicated sales, technical and administration headquarters near London. It includes a showroom and full training facility to demonstrate equipment and train engineers to install and commission Gree technology.

Monsanto Somehow Named the 12th Greenest Company in America
By Dan Nosowitz on June 9, 2016
Dan Nosowitz
What does this mean for the entire idea of green rankings?
via Monsanto
Each year, Newsweek, “in partnership with Corporate Knights, HIP (Human Impact + Profit) Investor Inc., and leading sustainability minds from nongovernmental organizations and the academic and accounting communities,” comes up with a list of the “top green companies” in the US and in the world. The former list looks at the top 500 publicly-traded companies in the country and awards them scores based on various environmental and sustainability metrics.
This year, the top agriculture business, and the 12th overall, was Monsanto.
This is likely to shock or annoy Monsanto’s many critics, who point to the company’s Roundup herbicide – by far the most popular herbicide in the country – that has been repeatedly linked to the creation of ever-more-resistant weeds and bugs, which creates a cycle that forces farmers to use even more quantity and more extreme measures to fight them. The company has also been accused of encouraging monocropping: its lines of seeds are so popular that they reduce biodiversity, thus putting the ecosystem at risk of being wiped out by a single cause.
But none of those really factor into Newsweek‘s rankings. Instead, their list includes the following metrics: energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste production, the presence of environmental rewards within the company, and a few others. By those metrics, Monsanto at least has the marketing materials to say they’re doing well: a press release from the company notes the past year’s efforts to curb water use and “a multimillion-dollar commitment to support efforts to benefit monarch butterflies.” For what it’s worth, you can read the company’s 2015 Sustainability Report here.
To some, the ranking is bound not to elevate Monsanto, but to cause questioning of these so-called “green” lists. Measuring a company’s social and environmental impact beyond its marketing and greenwashing can be tricky, but there are some real ranking systems in place. Mashable has a good list, including Certified B Corporations and their legal cousins, benefit corporations.

‘The Killing’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ Updates
The Killing and The Walking Dead Updates
Cat Parker
in TV News
AMC's head of original programming Joel Stillerman announced that fans of The Killing will find out who killed Rosie Larsen in season two, acknowledging the season one cliffhanger disappointed a lot of people.
"For everybody who was frustrated, we hear you," said Joel Stillerman, addressing reporters at the semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour.
"We would have taken a different approach to managing the expectations about what was going to happen," said Joel Stillerman. "It was never intentionally meant to mislead anybody. Our goal was to create a brilliant piece of character-based story telling and to try to do something [different]. We think we got there but we definitely didn't manage expectations the way they should have been managed."
"I can say definitively," added Joel Stillerman. "You will find out who killed Rosie Larsen in season two."
Joel Stillerman also addressed the status of The Walking Dead, which earlier this week saw showrunner Frank Darabont step down to be replaced by writer and executive producer Glen Mazzara.

"I can report that production is not go to miss a beat and we're going to make our air date," said Stillerman. "What I've seen [so far] and what I've seen coming down the pike, we're going to take what we started last year and really move it to the next level. It's going to be an incredible season."
The Walking Dead is scheduled to premiere its second season Oct. 16.

Predicting risk of credit default using discriminant aproach:A study of tribal dairy darmers from Jharkhand
MK, Sinha and JP, Dhaka (2013): Predicting risk of credit default using discriminant aproach:A study of tribal dairy darmers from Jharkhand. Forthcoming in: Agricultural Economics Research Review , Vol. 27, No. 1 (June 2014)
There is a more recent version of this item available.
The study has identified the factors that discriminate defaulters from non-defaulters in the credit market using the survey data from 240 households. A discriminant function was employed to examine the relative importance of different socio-economic factors making borrowers to default. The magnitude of coefficient of the function is an indicator of the relative importance of individual variable. The study has suggested that higher per-capita income from crop production (38.72%), higher per-capita income from dairying (31.62%), percentage of expenditure in total income (16.87%), off-farm income sources (6.43%) and more earning adults in the family (6.36%) are the important factors to make the borrowers non-defaulters and vice versa for defaulters. Further, the confusion matrix of the derived classification analysis has cross-verified the predicted variable and has found the group classified correctly by 68.3 per cent. Hence, the model can be regarded to be valid in predicting a defaulter precisely based on the localized social factors. The study will help in addressing the concern of the credit institutions in assessing the credit risk capital and risk adjusted outcome for serving a larger group of smallholders community.

Why the reassuring stories about Donald Trump are quickly falling apart
When May visited Trump, the UK media were full of comparisons with Thatcher and Reagan. The US free press paid little attention to the visit, because they were fully preoccupied by the enormity of what was happening to their country. They were not seeing the first few tentative steps of another Republican president, they were seeing the confident strides of the equivalent in the UK not of Nigel Farage, but the leader of the BNP or the EDL. If you think this is going over the top, read on.
There were three kinds of story about Trump that encouraged people to think things wouldn’t be so bad. The first, which we now know is untrue, is that he would surround himself with more experienced and wiser counsel. Instead probably the most powerful man in Trump’s White House is Steve Bannon. He is executive chairman of Breitbart News, essentially a far right, or what is called in the US alt-right, news and opinion outlet that promotes white supremacist, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic ideas. One of Trump’s latest actions is to oust the director of intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from always attending the Principals Committee of the National Security Council and replacing them with Bannon. John McCain said the appointment of Mr. Bannon is a radical departure from any National Security Council in history.
The second story was that everything said on the campaign trail was to win the presidency, and that once that was achieved more ‘serious’ (aka traditional Republican) measures would be introduced. (US financial markets might have bought into that idea, and are now beginning to realise their error.) Once again the first few days, and particularly this travel ban, have proved that wrong. Trump is enacting the headline measures that were both highly controversial and also effective on the campaign trail, and doing that fast. This is smart politics. His strength was never in the Republican party or in the business community, but in those who watch propaganda networks like Fox News and who helped him into the White House.
The final story, which continues on both the left and right, is that Trump and his team are inexperienced buffoons who will quickly make fools of themselves, and will be brought to heel by the checks and balances of the US constitutional system. Its too early to tell, but the signs so far do not look good. Take the holocaust statement. According to this story, leaving out any mention of Jews or anti-Semitism from the Holocaust Day statement was perhaps an oversight that would get corrected later. But it was not, but instead intentional and purposeful.
A far more plausible explanation of what is going on is that it is part of a strategy, not only to firm up Trump’s base but also to test those checks and balances. Telling border agency staff to ignore court orders is not confusion but deliberate, to see how far they can go. Initial reports that the top state department officials had resigned were perhaps deliberate misinformation: they were all fired by the White House, with no replacements in sight. What this looks like is a concentration of power at the very centre. The lack of consultation about the immigration order was not inexperienced oversight but the shape of things to come.
The trouble with checks and balances are that they are designed to work on the margin, stopping small acts of overreach by different parts of a normal government. Whether they can cope with a determined and fast moving small team in the White House we have yet to see. These checks and balances are often slow. For example Trump has become president with his business affairs hardly altered. The travel ban excluded the four countries in the area in which Trump has business interests. “This isn’t the way the presidency has worked since Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act in 1978,” said the director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, but what is anyone going to do about it?
Given all this, for Prime Minister May to celebrate a “new era of American renewal” after meeting Trump represents either craven grovelling or a complete misreading of what is going on, or both. As Simon Schama tweets:
“Nothing is being renewed in USA except hatred. Nothing is being renewed in USA except ignorance and the dissolving of distinction between lies and truth. Nothing is being renewed in USA but much is being destroyed: equity under law, the climate, civil decency, public education, public health.”
If you think that quote, and this post more generally, are overreactions of the type often found in the worst kind of left-wing hyperbole, here is Charles Koch, scourge of the American Left: “We have a tremendous danger because we can go the authoritarian route ….”.
All this is going to have huge consequences for the people of the US and the world. But I make no apology for ending on a more parochial point, because it is critical and happening right now. Brexit is like a train with no way of stopping before its destination, full of people who think they are going to paradise, but their paradise has just been taken over by someone who is turning it into hell. Does our leader say we must get off the train before it starts, fit it with more brakes or even that we must pause before we leave? No, she says she sees and hears nothing, and even the normally rebellious guard says we must follow the will of the people. As Trump goes about putting his campaign pledges into action within days of taking office, Boris Johnson in the Commons yesterday actually said that it was clear that “Trump’s bark is considerably worse than his bite”. Keynes may not have said “When the facts change I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”, but it is the right question to ask right now..

Don't know if u attended the talk on Trump at your school by the visiting MIT Sloan professor but his panglossian views are already looking pretty silly.
I would not have chosen DT as a candidate for POTUS and I would not have voted for him in the election.
However, your piece has the aura of "the shock of the new" rather than a damning indictment. It implicitly assumes that all was well beforehand and that DT is the arch destroyer of worlds. If that is the case why was he elected in the first place? There are obviously a very large number of folk in the US who think things are not well and that business as usual will no longer suffice. Are they wrong?
I've no idea how it will turn out under DT but to criticize a politician for carrying out campaign pledges must be a very unusual complaint.
Also it's a bit rich for one of the Koch brothers to complain about authoritarian tendencies when they are one of the most prominent representatives of that.
As for May she is doing what she should be doing: not interfering in another country's politics and looking after our national interests. I'm sure that Henry Kissinger, the arch realist, would approve of both.

"There are obviously a very large number of folk in the US who think things are not well and that business as usual will no longer suffice. Are they wrong?"
There was a larger number of folks in the US who voted against Trump (larger by 3 million, as you know). Trump is an accidental president, essentially illegitimate, in the White House due to the Electoral College system, unwarranted intervention by Comey and intervention by a foreign power as well. If you think America *wanted* a Trump presidency, you're delusional.

This post is about why some peoples misconception of how Trump would act in the White House are wrong. Quite what this has got to do with that I'm not sure.
" Trump is an accidental president, essentially illegitimate, in the White House due to the Electoral College system"
This implies that the EC system itself is illegitimate which is obviously wrong. The EC system is there for a very good reasons most of which are relevant today; without it, or a similar system, it might well spell the end of the USA as a federal system because vthe EC provides balance.
As to America "wanting" Trump as POTUS there was a choice between a corrupt,truth challenged, boring warmonger and an erratic real estate megalomaniac with a questionable haircut and, in these circumstances it's difficult to believe the electorate "wanted" anyone.

You’re right to highlight the odious coverage in the UK, but please don’t assume that anything was at all rosy in the US before these first few weeks. To your three kinds of stories that you mention that made people think that Trump wouldn’t be so bad, I’d add a fourth – which is one that I happen to believe myself – that things were unutterably awful already.
If you take ONLY the countries affected by Trumps temporary immigration order and consider only the last 15 yeares, the United States – checks and balances, Dems and GOPs and all - have conducted illegal invasions, proven war-crimes, cynical state destabilisation, cyber-attack, promotion of sectarianism, murderous sanctions, secret no-fly lists, the arming of Al Qaeda, mass surveillance, extra-judicial assassination, drone terrorism, kidnap for torture, corporate looting and on and on. Not to mention the 26,000+ bombs they dropped on those countries last year alone.
Trump is just bringing it home.
I really do not understand comments of this kind. Its like you think 'bad' only comes in one colour or flavour.
'Donald Trump says, “What I’m doing is about as close as you’re going to get, in the twentieth century, to the quality of Versailles.”
On page 2, Donald Trump tells you that he doesn’t take lunch. On page 7, he says it again. On page 8, Donald Trump goes out to lunch. On page 34, he does it again.'
(Corey Robin, reading On the Art of the Deal).
Simon Schama wrote one of the worst books on the French Revolution, 'Citizens', which argued that nothing but bloodshed came out of that historical episode, so equating it to a ur-Holocaust.
Hopefully, the Americans have learnt much from that revolutionary period, and if Trump turns out to be a Louis XVI, then democracy can impeach his golden rump (see Wikipedia, 'golden rump'.)

The checks and balances could also work for larger overreaches, if the Congressional Republicans were more principled and less in fear of being punished by the party establishment for breaking with Trump. This has been the most depressing part of all of this thus far, because it vastly expands the range of what the President might get away with. I had had hope that the Republican establishment's disdain for Trumpism would mean that Congress would constrain the President's range of action. It's not looking at all like that's going to happen.
Indeed. I argued in an earlier post that they were all frightened of Fox News, but maybe I was being too charitable.
The republicans have been breaking norms for years. Much of the resilience of the so-called "checks and balances" is based on adhering to certain norms. That is the "establishment" you had hoped would come to the rescue. But for them, party and power is more important than country and people (other than the .01%).
I agree. But Trump has built on that to take it to another level.
xomls 14 February 2017 at 11:21
The Republican leaders -- McConnell and Ryan -- are treading carefully with Trump not because they are fearful but because they see an opportunity to advance their agendas: tax cuts for wealthy people and corporations, no safety net for poor people. As long as they can see a way to accomplish these noble goals, they don't seem to mind Trump's xenophobia, racism, and misogyny.
Jim Cuthbert 31 January 2017 at 12:28
Been tracking your retweets, of many of the links in the post, sharing the growing horror you express.
Always sceptical of web conspiracy theories, I am fearful that team Trump is testing to American system of government to breaking point.
The end goal, which would only have been the wildest conspiracy theory 2 weeks ago, increasingly looks like dismantling the little remaining cohesion of the west, and it's supra national institutions, the UN, the EU, NATO, and presumably the World Bank and the IMF.
The obvious candidate is Putin. But that seems so ridiculous. But he has been the elephant in the room for many months.
I can't believe I just wrote that lot.
I hope you and SWL aren't victims of a viral post on Medium called 'trial balloon for a coup?'. They have given up on enforcing the Muslim ban while fighting it in the courts. The NSC is for the prez to listen to, or not, and its influence has varied depending on who is prez. And the top ranks of the State Dept are supposed to be replaced each time, same as other senior civil servants in the American system.
The EU is very cohesive, at least in the eurozone! Trump has a fair point on NATO countries not paying 2% of GDP on defence. Clinton was wrong to want to expand NATO into Ukraine, something which led to Crimea being annexed by Putin, which should have been predicted. Ukraine could, for example, have been given EU membership in exchange for being permanently neutral like Austria. Our greed has screwed the Crimeans.
Putin is a mass murderer, yes. Clinton refused to say if she'd shoot down a Russian warplane in a Syrian no fly zone if she created one. Syria is an ally of Russia, under Assad. Shooting down a Russian plane in its ally's airspace could escalate to war like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Trump warned of that and, for once, was being perfectly sensible unlike the insane Clinton. I hope if you have a rebuttal to this argument that you'll share it
The anti semitism of Bannon (and Trump) is more nuanced than you let on. The alt right hates liberals (American sense) above all else. Far right wing neo fascists are welcome regardless of ethnicity as long as you believe in one God excluding Muslims of course since extreme radical ones are currently attacking us. So Catholic,Protestant, Jew are welcome if they espose the correct hatreds. And voila Netanyahu is like another pea in the pod with Bannon.
Massive settlements are the greatest thing since building a wall with Mexico in America to make sure only the "deserving" people get to live
on nationalistic conquered turf.
Considering Bannon was trained by "Zionist Jews"(particular Sheldon Adelson) and Trump is half-Ashkenazi, this post is pure junk.
Get it right: There is nothing "really" anti-semitic about the Trump "group" period. They are manipulating the typical interfaith zionism that was there during the Bush Administration. Matter of fact, this same group main problem with the Bush/Cheney "neo-cons" were that they did not go far enough.
There is nothing really "nationalistic" either. It is pure Zionism and global corporate governance. When you study the actual backgrounds of Vlad Putin and company and his "right wing populists", it call comes together.
The next thing you know, Adolph and the Nazis will be called "Alt-Left". Media needs a laxative.
Ralph Musgrave 1 February 2017 at 01:42
So what's wrong with BNP exactly? Labour and Tories took part in the slaughter of a million Muslims in Iraq for no very good reason, in contrast to which the BNP opposed the war from day one. If you're exceptionally bright, you'll be able to work out who the real big time racists and extremists are.
Because the objection to the BNP is its domestic policy would be racist. And if they had known the Iraq war would kill a million maybe they would have supported it!

At the weekend Krugman wrote a piece about the infamous Wall and the proposed import tariff, including this nugget of wisdom:
"As economists quickly pointed out, however, tariffs aren’t paid by the exporter. With some minor qualifications, basically they’re paid for by the buyers — that is, a tariff on Mexican goods would be a tax on U.S. consumers. America, not Mexico, would therefore end up paying for the wall."
Interesting isn’t it.
Let’s reword it a little:
"As economists quickly pointed out, however, tariffs aren’t paid by the exporter. With some minor qualifications, basically they’re paid for by the buyers — that is, a tariff on British goods and services would be a tax on EU consumers. The European Union, not Britain, would therefore end up paying for a Hard Brexit."
Now isn’t that a revelation. :-))
Primula Monkey 3 February 2017 at 10:06
Kinda no. The US has leverage because of the size of it's market. It's why they can get away with clattering foreign firms with pay to play giant fines . By contrast EU consumers would simply choose non UK goods that are cheaper because they're not subject to tariffs (and/or sterling falls further)
Tariffs (and non-tariff barriers) on British goods and services would prompt at least some EU consumers to switch away from UK goods and services. Would we plug the gap by selling to Donald "America First" Trump?
The final situation is still unclear because it will depend on how future govt policy reshapes the British economy. And what if Brexit reduces EU exports to the UK more than vice versa?
What UK goods and services?

What is particularly frightening is that Donald Trump appears to have a diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder. Sadly Theresa May's action did nothing other than to inflate his narcissistic bubble. Anyone who pricks it will be greeted with rage (e.g. the AG who he sacked for betrayal).
Like Farage, Nuttall and other far-right extremists, Trump appeals to those with a very low level of education and intelligence by offering simple explanations and various groups of people who are to blame for the ills of the country... Problems usually caused by his ilk. At the risk of being accused of invoking Godwin's Law, Trump's mental instability provides the perfect context for nazis like Bannon to operate and prosper.
Of course we need to cultivate the best possible relationship that we can with the USA but Theresa May's decision to simply capitulate to Trump is extremely dangerous and stunningly ignorant. Quite frankly crowing about Trump's assurances regarding NATO would be laughable if the issue was not so serious.
Regarding Johnson, he is under Trump's thumb. He will say whatever Trump wants him to say.
Simon I hope you will correct your post once I let you know that Trump's daughter Ivanka is married to a Jew and has converted to Judaism. Her husband Jared Kushner is an Orthodox Jew and one of two Senior Advisers to the President.
There is a real problem here of the Guardian and HuffPo types being too Clintonian and too little Sandernista. Wittingly or not they are amplifying rubbish that Democrats have been putting about re Trump that he's crypto-fascist. Warning of that would be fine, as long as they had evidence. By getting things wrong they increase the chances of losing in 2018.
As for the State Department stuff, that's been debunked too. Unlike here, the top civil servants in the US are presidential appointees and they are routinely replaced with each incoming president. A level politics students in the UK know this, American writers should know it.

Richard Grieco Breaks Down During Airport Bust for Public Intoxication
Play video content
“21 Jump Street” star Richard Grieco doesn’t react well when the cuffs are getting slapped on him, as proven by this video of his DFW airport bust for public intoxication.
Police body cam footage, obtained by TMZ, shows Grieco angrily storming away from the American Airlines ticket counter in Dallas when a cop confronts him. Richard’s pretty indignant at first, even asking the officer, “You guys know who I am?”
He then tried to talk his way out of his drunken situation, but it doesn’t work. Cops put him under arrest and gave him a pop quiz on his level of inebriation. Watch … you can’t say he passed the test, but TBH — it also seemed unnecessary to grill him.
It was obvious he was wasted. Richard slurred, sobbed and insisted he didn’t do anything wrong as he was led away in handcuffs.
Things didn’t get much better for the former TV police officer when he got to the station. He continued crying and claimed he was being singled out because he’s famous.
Richard relaxed enough to take a breathalyzer test … which cops say revealed his BAC was .17 … more than twice the legal limit.
We broke the story … cops were flagged to Grieco’s gate at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport last week by an AA agent who denied him boarding because he was yelling at employees and allegedly reeked of booze.
He told cops he’d only had 2 cranberry vodkas, and according to the arrest report … he also had prescription Klonopin in his bag. He said he takes it because he’s a nervous flier, but cops noted it should not be taken with alcohol.
The airline booked Grieco another flight for the next morning after he sobered up, just as the cops in this video promised it would happen..
As for Richard’s reaction to the body cam video — “There are a lot more problems in the world than a silly incident at the airport.” Hard to argue with that.

MOSCOW, September 9. /ITAR-TASS/. NATO coalition for struggle against terrorism cannot be a promising alliance because it is based on the interests of one group of countries only, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday after talks with Foreign Minister of Mali Abdoulaye Diop.
“An alliance which is based on the interests of one group of countries only and interested in neutralization of a threat in part of the threat only cannot be promising,” Lavrov said.
He also underscored that US Secretary of State John Kerry pledged to put forward a format for combating terrorism, but these were only words, and not deeds.
“For several months, during our contacts with John Kerry we touch upon the necessity of some kind of joint analysis of the situation in the region (in the Middle East) regarding the terrorism threat and the necessity of a common approach,” the Russian top diplomat said.
NATO uses Ukraine crisis to increase presence along Russian borders — official
“He repeatedly told me that as soon as possible he would suggest a format, according to which the USA, Russia, Europe and the region’s states could assess the events and would try to work out a balance of interests,” the minister said. “I consistently confirmed our readiness for such contact, but the deal remained only in word. Of course, if only not considering the fairly ugly manifestation of this commitment to combatting terrorism in documents adopted by the NATO summit.”
Lavrov stressed Russia’s readiness for a fair, open and collaborating dialogue.
Russian jets to aid the fight against Sunni rebels in Iraq – PM Maliki
Posted on June 27, 2014 by 14andrey14 • Posted in Uncategorized • Tagged Air Force, arms, conflict, Iraq, military, Russia, terrorism • Leave a comment
RT 27.06.2014
Jets from Russia and Belarus will hopefully make a key difference in the fight against ISIS in Iraq, the country’s Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said. He expressed regrets over Iraq’s contract with the US, saying their jets are taking too long to arrive.
“God willing within one week this force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists’ dens,” he told BBC Arabic.
Meanwhile, Maliki criticized the process of purchasing US jets as “long-winded,” adding that the radicals could have been repelled if Iraq had proper air defense.
“I’ll be frank and say that we were deluded when we signed the contract [with the US],” Maliki said. “We should have sought to buy other jet fighters like British, French and Russian to secure the air cover for our forces; if we had air cover we would have averted what had happened,” he went on.
Maliki said Iraq bought second-hand jet fighters from Russia and Belarus “that should arrive in Iraq in two or three days.”
The radical Sunni Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS or ISIL) has taken large parts of the country’s north from the Shia government.
During the interview, the prime minister also confirmed that Syria was behind Tuesday’s air strikes that targeted Iraqi rebels, adding that he welcomed the move.
“They carry out their strikes and we carry out ours and the final winners are our two countries,” he said.
On Tuesday, unidentified bombers launched an air strike on ISIS positions in the northern Iraqi city of al-Qaim.
Iraq’s own air force has also been carrying out attacks on insurgent strongholds over the past week.
On Monday, radical Sunni militants regained control over the northern city of Tal Afar and an airport. A day earlier, jihadists captured three new towns and two border crossings – one with Jordan and the other with Syria.
The ongoing offensive by ISIS is aimed at achieving total dominance in Iraq by radical Sunni militants.
Hundreds of Iraqi soldiers have been killed by the insurgents since June 9, when the Sunni militants started their offensive, according to Iraqi forces.
The United Nations says more than 1,000 people – mainly civilians – have been killed during the surge thus far.
International Effort Thwarted Terrorist Attacks in Sochi – FSB
Posted on April 10, 2014 by 14andrey14 • Posted in Uncategorized • Tagged FSB, Russia, security, Sochi, Sochi Olympics, terrorism • Leave a comment
MOSCOW, April 9 (RIA Novosti) – A cooperative effort by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) with its international counterparts thwarted a series of planned terrorist attacks on venues at the Sochi Winter Olympics, FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
“One of the examples is joint efforts by the FSB and its colleagues from the United States, Austria, France, Germany and Georgia in relation to a group of people planning terrorist attacks on Olympic venues in Sochi. Together with our foreign counterparts we managed to thwart these attacks,” Bortnikov said.
The FSB chief stressed that terrorism is currently understood to be a transnational crime, with over 70 countries around the globe facing terrorist plots last year. Russia’s strong stand on terrorism and its strict counterterrorism efforts have made it a prime target for terrorists.
Bortnikov also said the country is currently reviewing legislation in an attempt to increase the effectiveness of counterterrorism.
“In the wake of recent events in Syria, new norms have been introduced to the country’s legal code stipulating harsh punishment for training in terrorist camps, as well as setting up, leading or financing terrorist organizations,” he said.
Bortnikov added that 28 terrorist attacks have already been averted this year by a series of counterterrorism operations conducted by Russian security forces under the supervision of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee.

Saudi Arabia to supply Syrian rebels with anti-aircraft missiles – report
Posted on February 17, 2014 by 14andrey14 • Posted in Uncategorized • Tagged al-Qaeda ", Bashar Assad, conflict, Lavrov, Meeting, opposition, Politics, security, terrorism, UN, Violence, War • 1 Comment
Frustrated by the deadlock of the second round of Geneva 2 talks, Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered to supply the rebels with anti-aircraft missiles. Meanwhile Russia has accused the US of once again hijacking peace talks and pushing for regime change.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Russian-made antitank guided missiles and Chinese man-portable air-defense systems are up for grabs, already waiting in warehouses in Jordan and Turkey.
An Arab diplomat and several opposition figures with knowledge of the Saudi efforts have told WSJ that these supplies are likely to tip the battlefield scales, as the rebels will become capable of taking on the government’s air power and destroying heavy armored vehicles.
“New stuff is arriving imminently,” a Western diplomat with knowledge of the planned weapons deliveries told the American publication.
Leaders of the Syrian opposition said they don’t yet know the total amount of military aid that will be shipped. The new weapons are expected to reach southern Syria from Jordan while the opposition in the north will get arms from Turkey, the Western diplomat said.
Raising fears that civilian aircraft may eventually become targets, last June several media outlets suggested that Saudi Arabia had already begun supplying anti-aircraft launchers and missiles to militants in Syria. But so far Saudi Arabia, as well as the US, has been officially opposed to arming the rebels with big guns and antiaircraft missiles as they could fall into extremist hands.
According to the WSJ report, rebel commanders struck a deal on the new armaments shipment during a meeting with US and Saudi intelligence agents in Jordan on January 30. During that meeting, rebels allegedly claimed that their new military gains would help force official Damascus consider President Assad’s ouster and bring forward a political solution to the conflict.
Mercenaries on US payroll?
The Wall Street Journal also reports that their rebel sources claimed the US government is paying their salaries to fight the Assad forces. The Southern Front brigades allegedly received $3 million in cash in salaries during the two meetings in Jordan, one held on January 30 and the other late last year.
Meanwhile, congressional aides told the WSJ about scheduled meetings with Syrian opposition leaders next week. The Syrian delegation will allegedly seek extra armaments in order to battle al-Qaeda and al-Nusra elements.
“We’re trying to assure the international community that they can support moderates without the threat of arms falling into the hands of al-Qaeda,” said Oubai Shahbandar, a senior adviser to the Syrian opposition. Saudi Arabia and US have so far refused to comment.
Geneva 2 stalemate
As the second round of Geneva 2 talks so far fails to produce any results, the Russian Foreign Minister has criticized the American stance at the negotiations accusing it of hijacking the talks for the purpose of “regime change” in Syria.
“The only thing they want to talk about is the establishment of a transitional governing body,” Sergey Lavrov said Friday after meeting with the German foreign minister in Moscow. “Only after that are they ready to discuss the urgent and most pressing problems, like terrorism.”
“I am very worried about the systematic attempts to disrupt the political settlement in Syria,” therefore “forcing the (Syrian) government to slam the door.”
Lavrov recalled that talks were kick started to implement the original Geneva communique, position of which Russia and Syria solemnly defend. The June 2012 document stipulates the creation of a transitional political body, holding of free and fair elections, the start of a national dialogue, a review of the constitution and legal system. Nowhere does it mention removal of president Assad.
“Now they are saying that to keep talking is senseless, because the government (of Syria) doesn’t want to agree about the makeup of a transitional governing body. We are going in circles,” Lavrov said.
The Syrian government’s position remains that stopping terrorism and bloodshed should be the priority at the negotiations that started last month. The second round of negotiations between government and opposition representatives began on Monday but no progress has yet been made. The opposition, backed by the US and its allies, insists on forming a transitional authority with “full executive powers,” thus ousting Assad.
After five days of negotiations the opposition has accused the government’s team of “belligerence,” while the government delegation said that the opposition have an “unrealistic agenda.”
“The negotiations are not moving toward a political solution,” said Louay Safi, a spokesman for the Syrian opposition delegation, accusing the government side of adopting a hostile stance.
“I deeply regret to say that this round did not achieve any progress,” Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said. “We came to the Geneva conference to implement Syria’s declared position to reach a political solution. … Unfortunately the other side came with another agenda, with an unrealistic agenda.”
The UN’s Lakhdar Brahimi, curator of the talks, plans to meet the sides on Saturday, the final day for round two of the negotiations, but it remains unclear if he can offer any prospect of drawing the warring parties closer together.
Russian-Lead Security Bloc Looks Boost Peacebuilding Role
Posted on November 14, 2013 by 14andrey14 • Posted in Uncategorized • Tagged Afghanistan, Collective Security Treaty Organization, Nikolai Bordyuzha, terrorism • Leave a comment
MOSCOW, November 14 (RIA Novosti) – The head of the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization said Thursday that the military bloc should boost its peacekeeping capabilities in response to developing internal threats.
CSTO general secretary Nikolai Bordyuzha said he saw a particular danger coming from countries on the geographic fringes of the bloc, a clear reference to Afghanistan.
“The need for an effective peacekeeping mechanism is dictated by the difficult international situation that has unfolded in many regions of the world, including areas not far from the CSTO’s area of responsibility,” Bordyuzha told a security conference in Moscow.
“The vicinity of a so-called arc of instability to our border creates a genuine danger,” he said.
He said potential threats were numerous and ranged from attacks by citizens of former Soviet states that had received terrorist training overseas to the proliferation of extremist ideas, weapons and ammunition in CSTO member states.
CSTO Joint Staff chief Alexander Studenikin said at the same conference that around 3,600 police, military and medical staff have been allocated to handling peacekeeping responsibilities within the organization. He said many of those selected for the job have undergone training abroad and have direct experience in peacekeeping work.
The CSTO, a body roughly analogous to NATO, currently has six members states, all of them former Soviet republics – Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
The focus of the organization’s activities has consisted since its inception in the 1990s on fighting drug proliferation and counteracting terrorism risks.
General Shoigu: The main threat to Russia’s security is terrorism

11.11.2013 ITAR-TASS
Terrorism remains the main threat to Russia’s security. This opinion was expressed on Saturday, by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu in an interview with the program “Vesti on Saturday with Sergei Brilev” (TV channel “Russia 1).
“The main enemy – is international terrorism. Maybe it’s threadbare, trite phrase, but look who is fighting in Syria, Afghanistan, Mali, Libya. Second (problem) – this is 2014, Afghanistan (after withdrowal US troops). Third, it is – the approach of NATO to our borders, “- General Shoigu said.

Opinion: Tired of the ‘last words of Mwenda’ against the FDC and Besigye!
Mwenda, Andrew Mwenda the Independent Magazine owner and editor, the man who knows all about how to rant against fellow political opponents, than a month later praising them, like they are the next one to save the world. In one week Museveni can be the worst and the other week he will be the hero. The same is with the Forum for Democratic Change and Dr. Kizza Besigye, all through December 2016 and this beginning 2017 his focus has been bashing on Besigye like he is AIDS.
Mwenda has a fetish or worse a deluded mind where he uses all kind of words to address why Besigye isn’t the President, without considering the fact of the power of ‘the old man with the hat’. The editor rant is about the organizations, the loss of local elections and the losing of presidential election going back to Dr. Paul Ssemogerere of the Democratic Party who ran against President Museveni and all of his campaign we’re filled with attacks and brutality. Just like all of Besigye’s has been, it is a reason why he is for the second time in his life-time charged with treason against the Republic. All of those explanations vanish like water meet the heat of the sun and becomes part of the air.
Mwenda’s rants concluded with today’s word calling FDC a Cult on Facebook. Where he was calling literally Besigye a Cult leader, because Mwenda has to grind out every little bit of anger into the public sphere. He added videos of the inauguration of Nana Addo in Accra where Besigye we’re invited, Mwenda had this to say about the Ghanaian President speech: “In these two videos, newly elected Ghanaian president, who invited FDC cult leader to his inauguration, parrots the inaugural speeches of Bill Clinton in 1993 and George Bush in 2001. Besigye’s 2010 manifesto copied David Cameron’s Conservative Party manifesto almost word for word” (Mwenda, 08.01.2016). So his words are saying itself how he has to attack the man for attending and being invited while Museveni is busy bodying himself to drop “Presidential Handshakes”.
“Besigye’s despotism in FDC:
Earlier in the day he wrote this too against Besigye: “Most of the FDC leaders i have interviewed ran away from NRM after witnessing the same trend. Now they say that compared to Besigye and his FDC fanatics, M7 and his NRM look like the best democrats one can find. In short Besigye had established a ruthless and intolerant dictatorship over the FDC and now relies on the cult of personality rather than on institutions to govern” (…) “While Besigye fanatics claim I have been hired by NRM to tarnish the name of their cult leader, the information I post here is always supplied to me by the top ranking members of FDC who want to rescue the party and Uganda’s democracy from the tyranny of extremism and the despotism of Besigye” (Mwenda, 08.01.2017).
So he continues his rants, his words of direct attack, as there are rare breed and the Besigye is giant problem. Besigye is the reason for the losses; Besigye is the reason for everything. If it rains it’s Besigye, if it snows it is Beisgye, if it is wind it is Besigye and if it is sun by all means it is Besigye. That is how you can talk in the sense of Mwenda. He is the weatherman who always will pin the blame on Besigye, and by all current codex or modus operandi it will be boiled down to Besigye. Nobody else, the others are needed props in tale of fatigue, lacking organization or even repeatedly popular personality of Besigye. Instead of asking why was there yet again Primary Elections where Besigye won over Gen. Mugish Muntu. Something that didn’t happen in the Movement, where Museveni where sole-candidacy for Presidency and Mbabazi wasn’t allowed to run against him! Something that Mwenda wouldn’t mention, for one simple reason, it will blow his mind and lose his marbles. Mwenda will be little prick who thinks he is a genius, but misses key aspects of matter. Like you need water or milk to drink tea. You can try to boil coke, but the tea will not mix well, but boiled milk or water will make a perfect blend.
Mwenda’s rants are now pointless and personal, like vendetta against the FDC and Besigye. Like he has to attack them! He cannot do anything else, if not he loses his mind. I know I write against Museveni a lot too, but usually with context of economy or recent acts, but Mwenda recreate the election and the internal organization of FDC without caring about factors that are put into play with no regard of the political status in the Republic. FDC are not alone on the losing end of Movement, but Mwenda acts like they are the only one, there is UPC, DP, Farmer’s Party, TIC, UFA and so on.
Like yesterday’s rant: “Besigye die hards are either cowards or hypocrites or both. While they make the loudest noise on how they are ready to die for him, they have done nothing (except for insulting critics on social media) to prove they are worthy of their claims. Each time Besigye goes to town, Kale Kayihura sends only eight (8) police men who pick Besigye like chicken, bundle him over a pickup truck and take him to police as these “ready-die-for-our-man” fanatics watch helplessly” (Mwenda, 07.01.2017).
He goes again into insults not only Besigye, but his supporters, because what else there to do. Because he doesn’t have a valid argument as long as he is putting FDC and Besigye in vacuum, the same kind of empty hole his arguments and reasoning is for the moment. 2017 stroke Mwenda and his mind went haywire. To prove the nonsense of this man, let’s take a piece of the rant of the day before:
“Over the last 16 years, Besigye has concentrated all the meager resources of the opposition on one singular objective, to capture the presidency. Yet we all know that maintaining the presidency is the most important objective of M7 and the NRM where he has concentrated most of his resources” (…) “Now FDC is much weaker relative to NRM. Not only that. NRM is also backed by the power of the state. By concentrating all opposition resources to attack NRM at its most fortified position, Besigye has expended his meager resources to secure an objective where he has the least chance of success. This is a strategic blunder” (Mwenda, 06.01.2017).
The relative argument itself is disgusting, because even if NRM is a ordinary party as Mwenda make it seems, it still is freighting how little he consider how the ambitions are under siege in the NRM, therefore handpicked and rigged members are becoming leaders, but that part of the argument is lost on Mwenda. Because that makes NRM more fragile than Mwenda wants to say. As well as the FDC primary model is better than NRM, though not perfect it still are more democratic than NRM ever will be. Another reason why the debate of Muntu and Besigye in the FDC are a valid one, directly opposite in the NRM where there is no discussion if VP Edward Ssekandi or PM Rukhana Ruganda will ever challenge Museveni. But that is a silent and a mute-point. If doing so your devaluing the epitome of all Ugandan wishes is to have Museveni for life as the chairman of the Movement and Executive of the Republic. Another thing, Mwenda doesn’t have the balls to connects when taking in consideration the stalemate in FDC and in other parties. In a state where it isn’t really democratic, in the sense that NRM are rigging when needed to control the Parliament and all other political offices in the country. The rest is just a front. Strange that Mwenda cannot mention that either. But that is another illness, that his eyes looks away from.
The flawed and the lost plot, is why all of sudden has went into mayhem and going all in to attack FDC and Besigye, Mwenda seems like only dreaming and thinking about them. That is the only thing that boggles his precious minds and the only discussion he can have in the Independent Magazine, as the other obstacles of the Republic can be redundant. Peace.

Resistance Movement’s Police Force is now defying Court-Order as they still trespass on Besigye’s Compound!
The Kasangati State House or “Benghazi” well known as the compound and farm of Dr. Kizza Besigye that has been under siege by the Police since before the polling day in February 2016. The Place in Wakiso that has been continuously in the news as the Forum for Democratic Change Presidential Candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye has been in the court-rooms ever since.
The National Resistance Movement under leadership of President Yoweri Museveni and IGP Kale Kayihura has ordered the home to be besieged and house-arrest him as the problematic opposition figure creates havoc every-time he steps outside his home.
They have trespassed for a long time, as the charges against him as been passing along with time. While the courts hasn’t come close to produce a case worth reading or filing affidavits that are spicy enough to cross-sections the laws that Besigye supposed to breach. These forged cases have given reasons for the Police Force to stay and besiege his home.
So the Police Force is not following the Constitution of the Republic. As they are now defying the Court orders. The Police Force that has together with the Chief Justice Stephen Kavuma interim order even stated: “An interim order doth issue against the 1st [Forum for Democratic Change] and 2nd [Kizza Besigye] respondents, their agents officials, supporters or any other person acting under their authority from engaging in demonstrations, processions, other public meetings, media campaigns or pronouncements including but not limited to the planned demonstration or procession scheduled for 5th of May 2016 or any other day in furtherance of the defiance campaigning pending hearing and determination of the main application for temporary injunction” (Kavuma, Stephen, 2016).
So the Defiance Campaign shut down the FDC and the Party Organization for nearly two months after the election as they scheduled arranged to confiscate the Headquarters and stopped their activity. There was also detaining the leaders and party members because of the Defiance Campaign.
It’s ironic that the Police Force are now resisting the authority of the Kasangati Magistrate Court order of the 24th November 2016 that indicated the house arrest of Besigye as unconstitutional. Therefore the Police Force is now in defiance of the law they are to uphold. So the IGP Kayihura who has spoken for a point of time
The first her was an question as the IGP Kayihura during the campaign trial:
“What is your reaction to FDC presidential Kizza Besigye’s campaign of defiance?
The Electoral Commission (EC) has issued a statement condemning that position. You cannot eat your cake and have it. On the one hand, you cannot defy the law and then you want to take advantage of the law. The assumption is that you have conceded to the Constitution of the country and put yourself under the body of laws that govern the country. When you simultaneously say you defy the law, that is untenable. If he keeps on making statements of defiance, I believe EC will have to act and they will ask us for support” (Election.co.ug – ‘Interview: Kayihura talks about Ntungamo, Gulu clashes’ 02.01.2016 Link: http://www.elections.co.ug/new-vision/election/1413945/interview-kayihura-talks-about-ntungamo-gulu-clashes#sthash.HfjjCBOu.dpuf ).
IGP Kayihura himself said in January 2016 to the press: “On the one hand, you cannot defy the law and then you want to take advantage of the law”. He himself apparently does that without any precaution or care, as he defies the constitution to monitor and control the problem of the Museveni; Besigye who doesn’t go silently away into dust.
That Kayihura has proven defiance himself when he didn’t show up in court as he was scheduled to appear to answer for the police brutality. This is ironic as he upholds the law, but defies it himself. Besigye has to follow the law, but his police can defy and be in defiance of the constitution and the law as they please. That is impunity and is nonsense.
The Resistance Movement has a Security Organization that defies the laws created by them. They do not respect the laws, the constitution or justice. The rule of law is now defined by the Police who resist and defy the penal codes and others laws that set the standard for rule of law. So the value of the liberty and justice system has only a value if it is equal for all. Right now the levels of defiance and resistance are now in the hands of the Police.
Not the people defying the draconian laws or unjust behaviour of the state that are continuing to strain the public as the grievances for the unjust acts of the Police Force. They are now not the ones that is the keepers of the law in Uganda.
When a Police Commander and such are defying the principals of the state, the justice and the laws that they are in-charge of, when they doesn’t consider ruling and verdicts in court. Than the laws are a wasteland and a free-for-all. The Police can then take the laws into their own hands instead of following the codes.
That is what they are doing. The Police defying the court order in Kasangati prove what sort of state Uganda now is in. And it is not beautiful, it’s dark and the tides for change have to come. Because the Resistance Movement has Defiance Police Force now. Long live the IRONY! Peace.

“I’m not going anywhere.”
John Porter (Richard Armitage) reassures Katie Dartmouth (Orla Brady) during their captivity in Strike Back 1.2. Source: Richard Armitage Net

Yet this sentiment has such bittersweet meanings outside of Strike Back. Sometimes one wishes to be free, getting out of Dodge. “Capitivity” is the word, indeed.

Therein lies a great part of the attraction of John Porter. How many men do you meet like that? I’m not talking about being SAS but just being a stand up guy. The Mencken quote comes to mind.
Glad you’re not going anywhere. 🙂

John Porter is a man you’d like to have in your corner. Hooray for JP!
Also glad you are not going anywhere. 😀

What a poignantly beautiful moment and how touchingly tender he is with Katie. Can’t you almost picture yourself in such an embrace? Just knowing during tough or even scary moments that someone has your back, sometimes literally, sometimes metaphorically is of overwhelming comfort. When at a Retreat recently, I noticed on one wall inside the building in which we met for meals and Sessions, a large and very beautiful hand-carved plaque with the words of Psalm 139:9.10, written, I believe, in German. In “King James” English those two verses certainly convey that feeling for me.

That’s a beautifully touching scene; and they perform it so well. There’s such closeness and intimacy between them.
Who wouldn’t want a man like this to comfort them in a frightening situation ?

And tenderness! Awwwwww…
We’ll have a “Strike Back” fest this Saturday. Emailed all my friends around and reminded neighbors alike. I was at a friend’s party two weeks ago (with belly dancing ladies) and here I was telling friends both sexes about Strike Back………..!

Tedgirl,
That sounds like a blast! Enjoy the Porter goodness.
RA has infinite capacity to portray tenderness and empathy. Portray is a superficial word in the circumstances; he draws the audience to feel the same emotion. It is so poignant in the scenes with Katie (rather eclipsing, thankfully, scenes with Danni, to understate it); scenes with Margaret, one in particular with Marian, with Elizabeta. Not just with women, either; the mine scene with Gerry in SB. The striking feature is the ability to avoid the maudlin.

There’s such an amazing contrast between his powerful arms and shoulders and his chiselled features (and what he is able to express with them) and long, slender fingers. He is the embodiment of what women wish for in a man – strength and tenderness.

Exactly, Nietzsche! How can we not react to a scene like this?
Toughness and resolve coupled with tenderness and understanding.
Richard’s physicality–that contrast between the brawniness of the shoulders and arms, his strong aquiline nose and chiseled jaw, and those long, lush, pretty lashes and delicately-shaped mouth, elegant hands worthy of a great artist or musician–are mirrored by what he shows us of Porter’s character.
Here is a strong, steely, tough soldier who is nonetheless capable of gentleness and kindness. A killing machine with a heart and soul.
This is what made John Porter so much more than just another macho action man. It is not that this is sexy although JP looks hot. There is just such honesty in the way he phrases his words. Just a general obsevation here RA can so much with the pauses in his lines. It would have been easy for them to sound trite as though he has said them to a thousand other people which doubtless he had. Added to the tenderness of his touch and sincerity in his expression. Those expressive facial muscles working to the full here.
It was this scene that inspired me to write A jp story

Well, at least we know we will get some more Porter in SB2, but how much is up for grabs.
Richard Armitage and Orla Brady were wonderful together in Stike Back. I hope they will work together again.

I love this scene. I know as a stong emancipated woman, I am not supposed to like it, but I can’t help myself. You just have those days where you’d love a JP to swoop and give you a little reassurance that everything will be ok.

As a “second wave” feminist, I’m right with you, Rob!
Happy International Womens’ Day, all.

I’m with you both there, ladies. Instead of “Calgon, take me away” it’s “JP, tell me it’s going to be OK!!”
I think in another actor’s hands, the scene might have come across as condescending or patronizing. But I felt that John respected Katie and also fully understood her need to be held and consoled. I imagined he could see his own daughter in such a predicament and hope that someone would try to comfort and soothe her in the same manner.
That’s also why I decided to give John younger sisters in Truce. He seemed like he would have been a great big brother to have.
Ang…there’s a poem in that first line somewhere???!!!
I still say those scenes with Katie were the best of the series. I just keep watching it over and over.
Not being a “helpless woman” is something I take pride in, however…hubs loves it when I do need a little backup! Nothing wrong with letting your man take care of you every once in a while! And of course, all of that macho woman stuff would go whizzing right out the door at the mere sight of JP! Oh yeah! One huge puddle in a New York minute. 🙂

I’ll try to work up a little JP poem for you, NB, if this darned cluster headache abates a bit. We’ve got more bad weather moving in (y’all get snow, we get rain) and it plays havoc with me. Thank goodness all my writing for Camellia Mag is done. Phew! (of course, we’ll do it all again in less than three months, and there’s Best Kept Secret of the South . . . always something!)
Even strong, self-reliant people need some TLC now and again. And who better to give it than JP!
I should not read these posts, (until the next Monday 😉 ) because they are for me like a spoiler, but it is not feasible, because I can’t get away from them, since all the girls here write so beautifully about John Porter
Ania said this on March 8, 2011 at 9:37 pm | Reply
Ania, I guess you can see a lot of us have developed quite a crush on Sgt. Porter. I think some viewers failed to fully grasp how much he brought to this character–JP in his hands is so much more than just the macho soldier with guns-ablazing, although he does that very convincingly when need be. He’s a family man dealing with broken relationships, a concerned brother in arms, a former soldier who never gave up on hoping to right a wrong and clear his name, a hero . . . I hope you will truly enjoy the series.
I really can not wait
Ladies, you know I love The Armitage, and I have loved him faithfuly for years, but this guy in that Jane Eyre movie…is H-O-T! Get me my smelling salts! He has the voice, the pentrating stare and a cravat! I think I am just a sucker for a man with side burns and a cravat. I can’t wait to go see that movie. Here is the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8J6Cjn06kA.
Am I going to get kicked out of Armitage University? 🙂
You already know I find Mr. Fassbender quite fanciable, having taken note of his smouldering good looks and alluring voice a while back. He can also act, which is a nice bonus! Having watched more period stuff over the weekend, I am thinking I am rather a softie for those sideburns and hairstyles, frock coats and cravats, too. 😉 They seem to improve the looks of the average fellow, and the above-average looker? Gawh-ghus.
Ladies!! Ladies!! You are scaring me!!! Am I detecting just the slightest hint of a changing of allegiance here??? Say it isn’t so!! Mr. F may be considered a good actor and good looking but surely there is no comparison between him and our cravat-wearing JT!!!
I’m JK!! I’m sure I will be wanting to see it when it comes out. Looks like a great movie though if the trailer is any indication!
Teuchter said this on March 9, 2011 at 2:21 am | Reply
Teuchter,
I think the problem is @Rob and I may be shameless flirts at heart. 😉
I think we shall need to see the movie so we can properly study Mr. F and his performance as the brooding, enigmatic Rochester to compare it with the brooding, overbearing master Thornton. A sort of –Cravat-Off?!
I’ve watched the trailer now and from a first viewing I think MF makes a compelling Rochester and the film looks great. Judi Dench and a host of other top-notch actors will guarantee a lovely version of Jane Eyre. But fellow posters, I’m in no danger from MF. My heart remains true and steadfast! Bring on Thorin! 🙂
MillyMe said this on March 9, 2011 at 7:30 am | Reply
Right there with you MillyMe! It is going to be a LONG wait so I hope they throw us a few tidbits to help us survive! I have never yearned for a “Dwarf” before – have you? Guess there is a first time for everything!!
Thorin, the Bearded Beauty, will be a worthy contender for the most memorable Tolkien character, methinks! And we have the singing to look forward to, too. But, yes, it’s a long wait *sigh*!
Difficult, isn’t it? I don’t want to ignore other actors and performances, that would be silly; but obsession is well, obsession…
Jane Eyre will be a lovely way to pass the time before the future becomes the present.
Thanks to Rob for Aretha and Annie of the “second wave”. The Third Wave is creating their own path.

Yes, @angie I am a terrible flirt! I bet I could take a lesson or two from you, Miz Southern Belle! 🙂 I do have a fascination with Jane Eyre. I always have. You have to check out the teaser that reads…”I owe you a debt” Here is the link:
http://www.focusfeatures.com/jane_eyre/videos/
Then let’s chat!
To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t have the time or energy to take on another fan gurl crush, but I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. At this point in my life, going to the grocery store san kids feels like a vacation! So sad, but true.
Here’s a fun trivia fact…Gaskell wrote the first bio about Charlotte Bronte.
That was the first Bronte bio I read, and the first Gaskell! It was excellent.
Re-watching the Iraq ep of SB last evening, I was struck by how very good Orla Brady was. I recall Mr. A making a comment about her portrayal of a foreign correspondent. In those scenes, she is so reminiscent of Christiane Amanpour and Lise Doucette, and the other ladies in the war zones. She caught that image of calm and dispassion and objectivity. Just the facts, Ma’am.
[…] repetition doesn’t bore everyone, but I left my picture selection, which is very similar to Servetus’ recent post, to make a point. I hope none of you get disheartened by these situations, because frankly, they […]

Picture Book Roundup, Part 2
December 17, 2018 Alec
This is Part 2 of our spotlight on Stonewall-eligible picture books with queer content. Unlike those mentioned in Part 1, most of the books I’ve selected here break the gender binary (wahoo!). I also threw in two picture books that are unique in their portrayal of same-sex attraction in young children because it’s something I haven’t really seen before.
The number of queer picture books for children is growing each year. I had hoped to cover them all but have since learned that there are even more titles than the 15 we counted before—three cheers for that!! Having too many books to cover is a good thing, right? (On that note, check out Mombian’s fabulous end-of-year-list and other posts if you want even more recommendations.)
Neither by Airlie Anderson
Little, Brown, February 2018
In the Land of This and That, there are only two kinds: This and That. But along comes Neither, who is both This and That. Told that they’re not This enough or That enough and couldn’t possibly be BOTH, Neither goes to Somewhere Else… The Land of All. There, everyone is welcome!
Like Loney and Saldaña’s Bunnybear, this is another accessible title for really young readers that celebrates non-binary identities. It also welcomes readers (non-binary or not) into thinking outside the binary by showing it as a much more colorful, inviting world. My only issue with this—and with Bunnybear for that matter—is that I’d also like to see non-binary narratives that are more than just metaphors. Or, at the very least, have human characters instead of animals. But that’s petty and this book is actually pretty darn special.
Teddy’s Favorite Toy by Christian Trimmer, illus. Madeline Valentine
Atheneum BFYR, February 2018
Teddy has a lot of cool toys, like trucks and hula hoops and karaoke machines. But his favorite is Bren-Da, a doll who is not only a fearsome warrior queen but also a stylish and well-mannered party guest. When Mom accidentally tosses Bren-Da in with the trash, it takes some real-life heroics to get her back. But, as it turns out, Mom’s a fearsome warrior queen, too.
How can one not love this book? Truly, it’s a question for the ages. It has great pacing and illustrations and it’s really fun to read. What’s probably most special about, though, it is that it takes the boy-who-plays-with-dolls story to the next level: the doll is also gender expansive! And, I must give credit where credit is due: this is the first picture book I’ve seen that includes “Yas, queen!” in the text—not just once but TWICE! That might not be award-worthy to some, but I think it makes the book feel more hip and current.
Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love
Candlewick, April 2018
Julián LOVES mermaids. For real. So when he sees some on the train with his abuela, he imagines himself turning into one. At home, while abuela’s in the bath, Julián dresses up in a DIY costume made of household objects. Abuela gives him pearls and the two go to a parade!
First thing’s first: there should be way more picture books printed on brown paper. White should not be the default. Related: the art is absolutely stunning. There’s so much celebration of shape and line and silhouette and the colors just pop. I agree with what Roger Sutton said over at Calling Caldecott: the book doesn’t necessarily have a “gender-agenda.” But, whether Julián is read as gender creative or trans, there’s an entry point for multiple identities here. I really think this could be the first queer-themed picture book to win the Caldecott (unless you count those latent lovebirds, Frog and Toad). Julián might get some Stonewall recognition, too. I’ll say it again: I think it’s absolutely stunning. I just wish it were #ownvoices.
Jerome by Heart by Thomas Scotto, illus. Olivier Tallec, trans. Claudia Bedrick & Karin Snelson
Enchanted Lion, April 2018
Raphael and Jerome are best friends. The hand-holding, buddy-choosing, snack-sharing, and story-inventing kind. Even though Raphael’s parents find fault in the two boys’ relationship, Raphael loves Jerome. And he decides to keep loving Jerome. No matter what.
Be. Still. My. Big. Gay. Heart. I’ve already proclaimed my love for this book elsewhere, but I’ll do it again. What makes it so special is that the book focuses on the queerness of children, considering the possibility of same-sex attraction at a young age. Yet, the text never assigns those words. It could just as easily be a friendship story that dismantles the idea that two boys can’t love each other (a picture book Darius the Great Is Not Okay, if you will). Readers will get out of this text what they need.
Jack (Not Jackie) by Erica Silverman, illus. Holly Hatam
Little Bee, October 2018
This first-person story is told from the perspective of a big sister, Susan, who has big dreams of what she’ll do with her new baby sibling. She sees the new baby as a sister. But, as her sibling grows older, Susan learns that she has a brother and learns to love him for who he is.
One problem I have with this book echoes what Alex Gino said they regretted about George: the title deadnames the character. Here, at least, Jack is the more prominent name, with the dead name included as a negative and in parentheses. But the book is still rooted in a cisgender perspective, and the title suggests the big sister self-correcting even though she refers to her brother by “Jackie” and incorrectly uses “she/her” pronouns throughout most of the text. That said, it is ultimately a good book for a child with a trans sibling—provided they learn from Susan’s (innocent) blunders.
When We Love Someone We Sing to Them: Cuando Amamos Cantamos by Ernesto Javier Martínez, illus. Maya Gonzalez
Reflection Press, October 2018
A father teaches his son about the serenata—”our way to hug with sounds”—and tells the boy that he will sing it one day to the special someone he falls in love with. But the boy is already in love. With another boy. And so his father creates a song for his son to sing to that boy.
Fun fact: both Martínez and Gonzalez came to my library for an event in October. I’m really sad I missed it because I would have loved to hear this read aloud. This book adds an important intersectional perspective to the cadre of queer romance/wedding stories (most of which have been about white folks or animals). It’s also significant because the boy’s dad is refreshingly supportive. Gonzalez’ beautiful, flowy art and Martínez’ lyrical text create a multisensory treasure that I definitely hope will get some recognition.
What about your thoughts? Between this post and the last, are there any picture books I missed?

Goodreads / Amazon
Chapter 1 – Perfect Body Double
There was a time when Sabrina London lived for this—the loud, thumping music, the bright, pulsating lights, the scent of perfume mixed with sweat—but that was then, not now. Crazy, just how much could change in six months—seemingly everything.
This was her first time back in civilization. Fitting that it was the hottest spot in Los Angeles on one of, if not the biggest, nights to party: Club Afterlife on New Year’s Eve.
Every year, the club hosted one of their famous masquerade balls. This year’s theme was Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death.”
Sabrina blended in, just another partygoer draped in a loose, crimson robe, with a stark white, full facemask on. The disguise allowed her to witness the events of the night anonymously.
She may have been there in secret, but she was not there alone.
Her partner had circumnavigated the long lines and gained entrance to the club with ease, then singled out her target and made her move. After months and months of development, the plan was finally in motion.
Sabrina watched from across the crowded club. Her double had done a good job, maybe even too good a job. Jackson had been easily seduced.
Her double had commandeered a VIP booth and then slyly fucked a man Sabrina had feelings for. Sabrina had not realized until then, when her nails cut into her sweaty palms, that she had made two tight fists—one for each of them.
Skipper sauntered back, although clearly uncertain on her heels and clumsy in her billowing, Victorian-style dress. Sabrina had nicknamed her body double Skipper for many reasons. One was to remind her of her place—Skipper was always Barbie’s lesser and Sabrina hoped the name reminded the girl of just that.
Just as Sabrina felt her blood heat, Jackson called out her name; the ruse had worked.
Sabrina waved to Skipper from where she hid around a tall marble pillar. When the girl got there, Sabrina could hear her panting—she was almost out of breath.
“I didn’t tell you to fuck him. Here. In front of everyone,” Sabrina snapped. “What the hell were you thinking?”
“You told me to seduce him,” Skipper said over the loud dance music. “I did, and it worked.” She smiled as she fixed her lace Venetian masquerade mask. “You heard him, right? He just shouted out your name.”
Sabrina settled herself quickly. She could see Jackson approaching through the dense crowd. “Fine. Time to take this to the next step. He needs to see you. All of you.”
Skipper nodded.
“He’s coming,” Sabrina’s guard interrupted.
“Already did,” Skipper said under her breath.
“Remember the plan. Get him to take you home,” Sabrina repeated for what felt like the thousandth time. “Do whatever it takes to convince him you are Sabrina London. He needs to…one hundred percent…believe the lie.”
“And if he doesn’t believe me?”
“You know that answer. Don’t make me say it again.”
“Good. Go. Run out the door. He’ll follow you.”
“Will you be okay here?”
Sabrina made a sour face as she glanced about, like it all—the music, the lights, the crowds—disgusted her. “Me? I’m leaving.”
“Okay. Wish me luck.”
“Good luck, Skipper.”
With that, Sabrina’s double stepped into the crowd, caught Jackson’s attention and then dashed for the door. Sabrina stared longingly at her former lover as he passed her by, but he didn’t even glance her way. Even if he had, all he would have seen was another person dressed as Red Death.
“We should get you to the roof,” Sabrina’s guard urged. “Dunyasha will be waiting for us.”
Sabrina gazed at the ceiling, as if she could see the vampire through it. “She’s pacing. For someone with so much time at her disposal, she’s incredibly impatient.”
“My queen?” her guard prompted again.
“Yes, Voss, let’s go home. I’ve had enough of this place.”

Perry's Story
"My stepson has been a resident of the group home on Jackson Street in Arlington for about 15 months. I have been tremendously impressed with the concern that the staff shows for him."
CRi played an active role in helping him find "employment" after he finished his time in the Arlington public school system. I feel they do far more than is required to see that he has a good and happy home environment.
It is just not a question of food and shelter. They care for him personally, take an interest in his progress, attend special meetings to help him progress, etc. I am thankful & grateful for CRi because they take such good care of my step-son.
I couldn't imagine him being anywhere else. The simple fact that I know he is always safe is enough to allow me to sleep peacefully at night. What a great group of folks.

Why Hayden Rocks?
What secrets hide behind “Hayden” that makes it rock? Your first name is more than just a name!
is for handy, the helpful you.
is for acquaintance, the many friends you know.
is for yearn, your innermost desires.
is for discreet, you can keep a secret.
is for exotic, no lack of spirit here!
The name “Hayden” is of English origin. It’s a name commonly given to boys.
Your name in reverse order is “Nedyah.” A random rearrangement of the letters in your name (anagram) will give ‘Edaynh.’ How do you pronounce that?
Secret Meaning of Hayden
The true meaning of ‘Hayden’ cannot be described with just a few words. Your name is your destiny, heart’s desire, and personality. Hayden is a name that indicates a gift of gab - the ability to persuade others effortlessly. You are expressive, optimistic, outgoing, and inspiring. Charming and cheerful, you are the life of the party for any social event. You fascinate others with your creativity, especially in writing. You have the innate ability to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
Your heart’s desire is to help and care for those you love. You treasure family values and traditions. You are willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. Giving advice is a natural ability for you. You are somewhat hesitant to show your artistic talents. People appreciate the love you give to them.
When people hear the name Hayden, they perceive you as someone who is sympathetic, compassionate, and generous. People feel comfortable with and count on you for support. You don’t care about fashion and are often shabbily dressed. Others see you as a maternal or paternal figure.
Money comes and goes for you. Your vision can make you a lot of money and tend to lose it fast. You learn through experience and not easily discouraged. The second brain in your gut makes you alert, aware, watchful and prefers to be alone. Try to spend some of your time outdoors.
Your most likely vocation: musician, artist, writer, designer, teacher, commentator, salesman, occultist.

PARK SEO JOON And PARK MIN YOUNG Are Reportedly Dating!
MYX Philippines
UPDATE: Both Korean actors' agencies have denied the romance rumors between Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young, and insisted that they were just close colleagues.
Omo! Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young have been secretly dating for three years, Soompi reports.
While the rest of the world was sound asleep, leaked images of what seems to be a physical copy of Korean newspaper Sports DongA made rounds on the internet. In it, the headline for the July 27th edition claims that Seo Joon and Min Young have been dating long before they starred in the hit Korean drama What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?
A post shared by Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim (@whats.wrong.with.secretary.kim) on Jul 24, 2018 at 7:37pm PDT
The article asserts that the rumored couple kept their three-year relationship private even to their closest friends, and have just started to tell people about it. The decision to keep their dating life away from the public eye, according to the report, is so that it would not affect their respective careers.
Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young have reportedly been dating for 3 years

Raising Kids and Running a Household: As more mothers have entered the U. In economic terms, families with two full-time working parents are better off than other families.
But as a new Pew Research Center survey shows, balancing work and family poses challenges for parents. The survey, conducted Sept.
In households where the father works full time and the mother works part time or not at all, the distribution of labor when it comes to childcare and housekeeping is less balanced.
These moms take on more of the responsibility for parenting tasks and household chores than those who work full time. Mothers in two-parent households, regardless of work status, are more likely to report that they do more on each of the items tested in the survey than fathers are to say their spouse or partner does more.
For their part, fathers are generally more likely than mothers to say that these responsibilities are shared about equally.
While mothers and fathers offer somewhat different views of the division of labor in their household, there is general agreement about who in their family is more job- or career-focused. Differences in the responses to this question between mothers and fathers in this type of household are modest.
These differences hold even when controlling for the fact that college-educated parents are more likely to work full time.
There is also a racial gap in these attitudes. White parents are more likely than those who are non-white to say it is difficult for them to balance work and family. For working parents, attitudes toward balancing their job and their family life are highly correlated with their experiences as parents.
Three-in-ten say being a parent has made it harder for them to advance at work, and one-in-ten say being a parent has made it easier.
These overall numbers mask the disproportionate impact women say being a working parent has on their careers. Mothers are twice as likely as fathers to say being a working parent has made it harder for them to advance in their job or career.
And mothers who work part time are just as likely as those who work full time to say being a working mother has made it harder for them to move ahead in their job.
How Working Parents Share Parenting and Household Responsibilities
For working mothers who have a spouse or partner who is more focused on his job than they are, being a working parent may have more of an impact on career advancement. But for many mothers who work full time, feeling rushed is an almost constant reality.
In turn, mothers who do not work outside the home are about twice as likely as those who do to say they never feel rushed.
And among those who are married or cohabiting, mothers who work full time are more likely than other moms to say they spend too little time with their partners. At least half in each group say they spend the right amount of time with their partners, while few say they spend too much time.
Most parents who are married or living with a partner with whom they share at least one child say that, in their household, the mother does more than the father when it comes to certain tasks related to their children.
Half say they and their partner share household chores and responsibilities about equally. The division of labor between mothers and fathers is more even when it comes to disciplining and playing or doing activities with children. In households where both parents work full time, mothers and fathers tend to share some responsibilities more equally.
Perhaps not surprisingly, in households where the father is employed full time and the mother is either not employed or is employed part time, childcare responsibilities usually fall to the mother.
Perceptions of Division of Labor Vary by Gender Mothers and fathers in two-parent households differ in their perceptions of how they split certain responsibilities.About the Data.

Google Launches Scan-And-Match Service
Eric T. Parker • December 19, 2012
Yesterday (12/18), Google launched its free scan-and-match music locker service in the U.S., following a European launch last month.
According to Billboard, Google declined to disclose which independent labels are onboard, but copyrights have been secured from all three major labels.
The reveal of Google’s licensed service comes on the heels of both Apple and Amazon’s scan-and-match offerings, which both charge a yearly $24.99 rate for files playing at 256kbps.
Google’s service has two competitive advantages: it is free of charge and plays music at a compression rate of 320kbps, the highest among its competitors.
However, Google’s 20,000 songs is slightly less than Apple’s 25,000, and each are nearly 10 times less than Amazon’s 250,000.
“Our new music matching feature gets your songs into your online music library on Google Play much faster,” said Google Play in a post on Google Plus. “We’ll scan your collection and quickly rebuild it in the cloud – all for free. And we’ll stream your music back to you at up to 320 kbps.”
Prior to receiving copyright licenses, Google lacked the ability to mirror users’ catalogs with a central file in its cloud, so each library was independently uploaded and stored on servers for playback.
For a first-person account about migrating music libraries to digital cloud services, see MusicRow’s latest (Dec. ’12-Jan. ’13) Digital Toolbox print magazine, available here.

Dark Play or Stories for Boys by Carlos Murillo
“ A brilliantly constructed play of two strands that continue braiding with persistent mystery, yummy repetition of language and images, and steady, satisfying reveals. There are also pops of humor, violence, and poetry in unexpected and thrilling measure. Utilizing Nick's narration as the lens into the story allows for a expressionistic framework and the brilliant premise of: who's side of a story can you really trust? ”
TENDER ROUGH ROUGH TENDER by Sarah Saltwick
“ This play's characters and world are magnetic. Reminiscent of the world as we might recognize it but with an absurdist hint that makes it a little slippery, hard to pin down, and laugh out loud funny. I love the images of the world being on fire as these two people keep drinking and drinking -- but will they connect before everything goes up in flames? Also, the use of the abstract gestures in this play was one of the most influential theatrical devices to me as a young writer. ”
Lunch Bunch by Sarah Einspanier
“ I adore Sarah's body of work, but this is truly a standout amongst her accomplished, delectable creations. The rhythm and pacing launch you right into this vividly constructed world inhabited by a beautifully drawn ensemble. The language throughout is as delicious as the descriptions of the food consumed by the characters. And the play's many plot threads weave together in expertly crafted fashion for a final scene that is both sweet and satisfying. ”

Selling this toon to an already determined buyer
Pheonix Summers
You must create the thread with the character you are selling
You must state that you will pay the transfer fee
You must disclose whether or not the character being sold has a negative balance in its wallet and the amount.
I have a positive balance.
You must post in the thread with the character that will be receiving the isk.
I'll post on... Haunting Widow I guess.
You must reflect the character correctly in the thread, posting that the character you're selling has more skillpoints or ISK than it actually has is a bannable offence.
You need to be in an NPC corp before you do the transfer
Stasis has begun, will finish after 22:00 tomorrow. And I will initiate the transfer then.
Haunting Widow
SKEET ELITE
I'm receiving the payment, woots.
Give to me your iskies.

The character being sold must receive the ISK for the purchase.
And you should prolly provide a link to your skillsheet, as well as an asking price or starting bid
Edited by: Pheonix Summers on 30/07/2010 00:10:14
Yeah but I've already linked that to my buyer (not up for sale anymore, just trying to follow the sale rules), and we've talked and planned this over the past few hours and have a decided price which I will receive just prior to starting the transfer...
This is my first time selling a character, are these things that are required? Because if not I'd just as well not post skills that won't belong to me in a day or two.
EDIT: and ok, I guess I'll take the isk on this character, it's just that the guide that is posted on the forums http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=552381
"You must post in the thread with the character that will be receiving the isk."
Which seems redundant if you need to MAKE the thread with the character being sold..? So I figured he was allowed to send the isk to a character on the same account, if necessary sure, he can send the isk to pheonix summers.
I am a little confused about the rules about this.
Osiris124
all your toon are belong to me. i am the purchaser of pheonix summers.
In an effort to reduce the amount of character scams, GM workload and player frustration, the following changes are being made to the announcements concerning character sales or auctions for ISK. No other form of payment is sanctioned or supported. *updated
The 'For Sale/Auction' post must be made by the character being offered. This is being added to prevent scams for characters that have been misrepresented, banned, non-existent, etc.
The sell post must reflect the character correctly, posting that the character you're selling has more skillpoints or ISK than it actually has is a bannable offence.
The character being sold must be stripped of ingame assets of any significant value before being transferred. Items cannot be listed among the character's valuable assets, only skills, implants and reputation. You are buying/selling the character ONLY and nothing else. Ships and items can be readily bought on the market for ISK.
You may only bump threads ONCE Per day. Date is determined by the date on the forum, not the date where you live. See this guide for more information on bumping.
The new owner of the character may NOT pass himself off as the original owner.
The character for sale must be from an active account, you cannot trade characters from inactive accounts.
The character being sold must be in an NPC corporation.
The character being sold must be older than 14 days old to avoid accidental transfers.
The selling of accounts is prohibited, characters may only be sold individually.
The owner of the character being sold is responsible for the character transfer fee paid to CCP.
Prior to leaving a corporation, the character to be sold MUST send a corp-wide EVE mail stating that they are going to be sold and will be leaving for an NPC corporation.
When a character is sold, please modify the topic title to reflect this to help other forum patrons know what characters are still available.
Lottery style sales are not permitted. Auctions and buyouts are the appropriate method for selling a character.
All scams involving character transfers are prohibited.
Whenever a character is transferred before the seller has moved the ISK received from the sale to another one of their characters, the Customer Support team will return that ISK to the rightful owner. The buyer cannot expect to receive both the character and the ISK that they paid to purchase it.
These changes are effective immediately. Posts made after this announcement will be edited with a link to this thread or deleted without notification.
Please post below with any rule change, new rule submission or resource you feel useful for fellow players or something you want to bring to our attention.
Agreements on the forums or in game, or winning an auction does not guarantee a character will be transferred to you. The seller may choose to renege on a deal at any time, prior to the transaction being completed
I think we have everything covered, just waiting on the stasis countdown now.

Chicago Review of Books — Burning Worlds
The Man Who Coined ‘Cli-Fi’ Has Some Reading Suggestions For You
by Amy Brady — February 8, 2017
“Burning Worlds” is a new monthly column dedicated to examining important trends in climate change fiction, or “cli-fi.”
It astonishes to think just how long humans have known that the Earth is getting warmer. The term “global warming” didn’t enter public consciousness until the 1970s, but scientists have studied our planet’s natural greenhouse effect since at least the 1820s. In 1896, a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrheniussome concluded that human activity (like coal burning) contributed to the effect, warming the planet further.
And yet, here we find ourselves in 2017, still wrestling with man-made climate change like it’s a new phenomenon. Why have we not acted sooner? The answer may lie in what Indian author Amitav Ghosh calls humanity’s “great derangement”: our inability to perceive the enormity of the catastrophe that awaits us.
That’s where fiction writers come in.*
For years, authors have been writing climate change fiction, or “cli-fi,” a genre of literature that imagines the past, present, and future effects of climate change. Their work crosses literary boundaries in terms of style and content, landing on shelves marked “sci-fi” and “literary fiction.” Perhaps you’ve read one of the classics: Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake or Kim Stanley Robinson’s Forty Signs of Rain. Then there’s Ian McEwan’s Solar and J. G. Ballard’s 1965 novel The Burning World, from which this column derives its name. Each of these novels—like others in the genre—help us to “see” possible futures lived out on a burning, drowning, or dying planet.
Here at the Chicago Review of Books, we feel it’s time to give cli-fi more attention. To that end, we bring you “Burning Worlds,” a new monthly column dedicated to examining what’s hot (sorry) in cli-fi. It’ll feature interviews, reviews, and analyses of the genre with the hope of generating a larger conversation about climate change and why imagined depictions of the phenomenon are vital to the literary community—and beyond.
Kicking us off is an interview with journalist and former teacher Dan Bloom, the man who coined the term “cli-fi” (read more about Bloom in his interview with Literary Hub). Bloom founded and maintains The Cli-Fi Report, the web’s most comprehensive site dedicated to cli-fi. He is a tireless crusader for the genre, a self-proclaimed “cli-fi missionary.” In this interview, we discuss what inspired his passion for climate change fiction, why he thinks the term “cli-fi” caught on, and what he recommends we all read next.
Continue to read the interview . . .

Spectacular catches key No. 18 Minnesota's Outback Bowl win over No. 12 Auburn
Yahoo Sports January 1, 2020
Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan threw two touchdowns in the Gophers' 31-24 win over Auburn. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
Minnesota’s receivers hauled in some incredible catches in its upset win over No. 12 Auburn in Wednesday’s Outback Bowl to power the No. 18 Gophers to their first 11-win season in over a century.
Minnesota wide receiver Tyler Johnson had 12 catches for 204 yards and two touchdowns. His second touchdown — a score that broke a 24-24 tie in the fourth quarter — was a 73-yard catch and run after he beat Auburn defensive back Smoke Monday over the middle.
While that was good, his touchdown that gave Minnesota a 24-17 lead before halftime was even better. And one of the best catches of the college football season. Johnson made a one-handed snag as he turned his body around and got one foot down inside the back of the end zone.

There won’t be a better catch all day. Though his teammate Bryce Witham sure tried to top him.
With Minnesota’s defense playing feistily in the second half, coach P.J. Fleck decided to have the Gophers go for it on fourth-and-1 at the Auburn 41 with just over three minutes left. After getting stuffed on a QB sneak on fourth down earlier in the quarter, Minnesota threw the ball. And this is the catch that Witham made:
This is how you try to put a game away in the 4th quarter on fourth down. What a catch, Bryce Witham. pic.twitter.com/VmyuAEP9r4
The Gophers were able to run the clock down after Witham’s grab to end the game. While Witham and Johnson’s catches are certainly worthy of repeat viewing, Minnesota’s running game also deserves a ton of praise.
Minnesota ran 45 times for 215 yards against an Auburn defensive line that’s one of the best in the country. Minnesota’s offensive line created repeated creases for running backs Rodney Smith and Mohamed Ibrahim as they combined for over 200 yards.
The bowl win puts Minnesota at 11-2 for the season and gives the Gophers the school’s first 11-win season since 1904. Yes, really. The last time Minnesota won more than 10 games was 115 years ago when the team went 13-0 as a member of the Western Conference.
Auburn finishes 9-4
Wednesday’s loss is Auburn’s first all season to an opponent that wasn’t ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game. Entering the bowl game, Auburn’s only losses came to Florida, LSU and Georgia.
As Minnesota’s running game flourished, Auburn’s struggled mightily. The Tigers tried to run the ball 26 times for 56 yards. That lack of a running game forced freshman QB Bo Nix to try to move the offense through the air and he was 17-of-26 passing for 176 yards and a score. The Tigers’ biggest offensive play of the game came in the second quarter when the Minnesota secondary lost tight end Sal Cannella over the middle on fourth down on a 37-yard TD catch.

3D Viewing Confirmed for Pokemon 3DS
by Karl Castaneda - February 2, 2011, 11:27 am PST
Total comments: 16 Source: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/110..., (Nintendo Investor Q & A)
You'll be catching 'em all in a whole new dimension.
During a Q&A session following last week's Investor Conference, Satoru Iwata confirmed that he had indeed indicated that a Pokemon title is in progress for Nintendo 3DS. With such an announcement, naturally, the the prominence of the 3D was in question.
In talking to Nintendo's investors, President Satoru Iwata said in response to a question as to whether including 3D in a Pokemon game is contradictory to health warnings for children under six years of age, "Naturally, we expect 3D viewing to become one of the attractions when the new Pokémon title is released on Nintendo 3DS, but a number of other attractions, which do not depend upon the 3D aspect, shall also be realized."
He also went on to say, "I have no hesitation about the prospect that a Pokémon-franchise title will be released for Nintendo 3DS." It's important to note that no release date has been set for Pokémon 3DS, or even what stage of development it's in.
MaryJaneFebruary 02, 2011
Wow, this is a lot of big name game announcements from Nintendo.
When are they going to announce Zelda and a new Metroid Prime series?
Ian SaneFebruary 02, 2011
"Pokemon" can mean anything. This doesn't mean it's anything special. It just means Pokemon product and we all know that doesn't mean any quality assurance.
With Black & White coming out so soon I highly doubt Iwata is talking about the next REAL Pokemon game or at the very least, if he is, it is far off in the future.
BlackNMild2k1February 02, 2011
But Black & White need a Grey. How long does it usually take for the 3rd version of a set to come out?
nickmitchFebruary 02, 2011
When he said "the new Pokémon title," I got excited. When he said, "a new franchise title," I got a little worried. I'll still hope for a main series Pokémon title in 3D, though. I think the language would've somehow been more ambiguous otherwise.
TJ SpykeFebruary 02, 2011
All 3DS games will have 3D AFAIK, so nothing new here. We also already knew that they were working on Pokemon games for 3DS (they confirmed it before).
Based on the GBA and DS, we will probably get the next mainline entries sometime in 2013.
BNM, the third game usually comes out about 1-2 years after the first two (31 months for Yellow, 13 months for Crystal, 20 months for Emerald, 20 months for Platinum).
Quote from: TJ
but that is when they are all on the same platform right?
Anyone thing it's likely/possible that Nintendo releases "Grey" towards the end of this year, or early next (Jan. 2012) exclusively for 3DS?
NWR_insanolordJ.P. Corbran, Community ManagerFebruary 02, 2011
All 3DS games will have 3D AFAIK, so nothing new here.
Nintendo has said developers aren't required to support 3D, which shouldn't be surprising given the lack of requirements for support of widescreen or 480p on the Wii. I can't imagine many games will be released without the capability (at least at retail), especially from Nintendo themselves, but it's possible.
I don't know, Nintendo has never had to deal with a situation like this since they never released two generations of games on the same system before. I suppose it is possible for it to be on 3DS, or maybe it will come out early next year like with Crystal.
Maybe insano, but I haven't heard of any 3DS games yet that won't support it. I am not saying there won't be, but I hope Nintendo requires it.
SilverQuilavaFebruary 02, 2011
While a Pokemon Version game on 3DS sounds like a great idea, maybe it'll be like Battle revolution. The 3D pokemon would look cool on that.
Quote from: SilverQuilava
Now that they have a handheld with the horsepower to handle it, the battles in the mainline Pokemon games should look as good as those in Battle Revolution, if not better. Not holding my breath on that, though.
Mop it upFebruary 02, 2011
There's a lot they could do with the series that they haven't done, but if they make the battles of the regular game have interesting visuals, there'd be no reason for them to release a console "stadium-style" game.
Good. then maybe they can make the PokeMMOn console game or atleast a real Pokemon RPG for the console instead.
maybe something that uses the 3DS as the controller and a Pokedex.
Guitar SmasherFebruary 02, 2011
So who was worried there wasn't going to be another handheld Pokemon?
HardcoreNintendoFanFebruary 02, 2011
My hope is a compilation of the regions. So in the game you go through all the current regions and this could be grey, start out in Unova and then go to Hoenn and then Sinnoh and so on. Not only that but it would be cool if you could decide to restart back at lv5 but still have you pokemon from the other regions being usable. Then once you beat all the regions the wild pokemon jump to lv50+. And as an added bonus finally let us go to the Orange Islands for one final leg of the challenges. This is my hope, it isn't confirmed that this is the game. Anyways it will be out by next year for everyone other than Japan. They'll get the game this fall.
subhasFebruary 03, 2011
Quote from: HardcoreNintendoFan
They probably would never do this. Each game costs approximately $30-40 USD. If all of the games were put into one, it would significantly higher the price for all the extra storage necessary and for the game content itself. However, they might do it with the only goal to be to catch em' all, but that would put a lot less variety into the game. There might be remakes of the games, individually, in 3D, like they have with the Nintendo 64 games, but I wouldn't expect a game with all five regions anytime soon.
lizardmanFebruary 07, 2011
soooooo will the third version of pokemon black/white be for the 3ds? if so that would be a new thing for them to jump system compatability like that but to me it seems like they are trying to do things different anyway and you should take into consideration that the nintendo company is more concerned with the release date in japan so our aquward situation could just be caused by them neglecting us :'( . either way i really dont care because i only own a ds for the pokemon games so if they release pokemon "grey" for ds instead of 3ds that just means i dont have to spend 200 some dollars on a new 3ds. but it would be nice to see colloseum level graphics. sorry for the long post

The Pinnacle of Naval Superiority or Obsolescence: The Battle Cruisers of 1920 and the Aircraft Carriers of 2020
Artists Depiction of G3 Battlecruiser
Friends of Padre Steve’s World,
The next few days I will be reflecting on the old year and the coming new year, but tonight I decided to tweak and republish an article from about four years ago dealing with the battle cruisers being built by Great Britain, Japan, and the United States after the First World War. They represented the pinnacle of naval design for their era and would have been far superior to their adversaries had technology and war remained static. As Admiral Ernest King noted:
“Nothing remains static in war or military weapons, and it is consequently often dangerous to rely on courses suggested by apparent similarities in the past.”
As the First World War ended a new Naval Race was heating up. The United States had announced its intention during the war to build a navy second to none while Imperial Japan was making plans for a fleet that would give it superiority in the Western Pacific. The British, though still be far the largest naval power in the world were burdened by the massive costs of war and empire, but also seeking to maintain their naval dominance and to that end they were in the process of building a class of massive super-Dreadnought battleships, and Battle Cruisers.
Much of each powers actions in the coming years would be based on internal politics, foreign policy, and the simple economics of how much each power could afford to spend on their militaries after such a costly war. The result was the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 which limited the signatories to specific numbers, tonnage, and armaments each Navy would be allowed. Do to those reasons the massive Battle Cruisers planned by Britain, the United States and Japan were canceled. The Japanese and Americans would choose to convert two of their incomplete ships to aircraft carriers, while the British would convert the already completed ships of the Courageous Class battlecruisers (Courageous, Glorious, and Furious) into aircraft carriers as though none of the G3 ships had been laid down.
The ships known as the G3 battle cruisers were first designed by the British Royal Navy as a compliment to the all big gun Dreadnought battleships. The Battle Cruiser concept was for a ship of roughly the same size and firepower as a Battleship, but sacrificed armor protection for greater speed, endurance and range. The United States and Japan joined in the Battle Cruiser race before and during the war. However, Britain the United States had concentrated on building battleships during the war but following the war began to design and build its own classes of massive battle cruisers.
HMS Invincible Blowing Up at Jutland
During the war the weaknesses of the battlecruisers as a type were exposed during the Battle of Jutland where three British Battle Cruisers, the HMS Invincible, HMS Indefatigable and HMS Queen Mary blew up with the loss of most of their crews; of the 3311 officers and sailors on the ships only 26 survived. The HMS Lion was almost lost in a similar manner but the heroic actions of her crew saved her from her sisters fate. The British ships had glaring deficiencies in armor protection and the arrangement of their ammunition magazines and hoists which certainly contributed to their loss. Their German counterparts on the other hand proved much tougher and though all sustained heavy damage while engaging British Battleships and Battle Cruisers, only one the Lützow was lost. She absorbed over 30 hits from large caliber shells and only lost 128 crew members. However, though a battle cruiser Lützow, and other German battle cruisers wer designed for relatively short range operations which meant they neither sacrificed armor protection, speed, or firepower as did the British ships which were designed for missions far and wide, needing more displacement for fuel and crew supplies, often sacrificing armor protection in order to maintain their high speed capabilities.
HMS Hood
As the war progressed other Battle Cruisers were built, the British launched the HMS Repulse and HMS Renown and completed the HMS Hood shortly after the war was over. The Japanese built the four ship Kongo class from a British design, the first of which, the Kongo was completed in a British yard, the others Haruna, Hiei, and Kirishima were built in Japanese yards. The Kongo Class would prove to be the workhorses of the Battle Force of the Imperial Japanese Navy, all seeing significant combat action.
As the powers embarked on the next Naval Race planners and naval architects designed ships of massive firepower, better protection and higher range and speed. All would have been better classed as Fast Battleships, a better description of the Kongo Class or the Hood than previous ships.
The British designed and funded the G3 class in 1921, while the Japanese began work on the Amagi Class, and the United States the Lexington Class. However the construction and completion of these ships as Battle Cruisers was prevented by the Washington Naval Treaty.
The treaty, which was ratified in 1922 limited the United States and Great Britain to a maximum of 525,000 tons in their battle ship fleets and 125,000 tons in aircraft carriers. The Japanese agreed to a limit of 315,000 tons and the French and Italians 175,000 tons each. Tonnage for battleships was limited to a maximum of 35,000 tons with a limitation on guns size to 16 inches. Since the bulk of the ships planned or being built by the US and Japan exceeded those limits they would be effected more than the British whose post war shipbuilding program had not begun in earnest, in fact the G3 Class had just been approved for construction and there is no proof that construction had begun on any of the ships.
The G3 class would have comprised four ships and been similar to the N3 Class Battleships. They were very well balanced ships and would have mounted nine 16” guns in three turrets on a displacement of 49,200 tons and deep load of 54,774 tons. They had an all or nothing protection plan meaning that the armored belt was concentrated in vital areas around the armored citadel, conning tower, turrets and magazines and engineering spaces. Their armor belt would have ranged from 12-14 inches, deck armor from 3-8 inches, conning tower 8 inches, barbettes 11-14 inches, turrets 13-17 inches and bulkheads 10-12 inches. Their propulsion system of 20 small tube boilers powering 4 geared steam turbines connected to 4 propeller shafts would have produced 160,000 shp with a designed speed of 32 knots.
The four ships, none of which were named were ordered between October and November of 1921. Their construction was suspended on November 18th 1921 and they and the N3 Battleships were cancelled in February 1922 due to the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty. Many concepts of their design were incorporated in the Nelson Class battleships which were a compromise design built to stay within the limits of the treaty.
Amagi Class as Designed, Akagi as Completed (below)
The four planned Japanese Amagi Class ships would have mounted ten 16” guns on a displacement of 47,000 tons at full load. Their propulsion system 19 Kampon boilers powering four Gihon turbines would have given them a maximum speed of 30 knots, They would have had less protection than the G3 ships being more of a traditional Battle Cruiser design. As a result of the Washington Naval Treaty the Japanese elected to convert two of the ships, the Amagi and Akagi to aircraft carriers. Amagi was destroyed on the ways during the great Tokyo earthquake and Akagi was completed as a carrier. The other two vessels were scrapped on the ways. To replace Amagi the Imperial Navy selected the incomplete Tosa Class battleship Kaga.
The United States Navy planned the six ship Lexington Class. These ships would have mounted eight 16” guns on a ship measuring 874 feet long and 105 feet in beam, displacing 43,254 tons at full load, or nearly the size of the Iowa Class battleships. They would have had a maximum speed of 33 knots being powered by 16 boilers which drove 4 GE electric turbines producing 180,000 shaft horse power. Theirs was a massive engineering plant and while the class did not have as heavy armor protection as either the G3 or Amagi classes, they were superior to them in speed as well as endurance. Upon ratification of the Washington Naval Treaty four of the six ships were cancelled and the remaining two, the Lexington and Saratoga competed as aircraft carriers. Had any of the ships been completed as Battle Cruisers it is likely due to their speed that they would have operated primarily with the the carriers that the US Navy built during the 1930s.
One can only speculate what the navies of World War II would have looked like had the Washington and the subsequent London Naval Treaties not been ratified. One can also only imagine how the war at sea would have been different had the ships completed as carriers been completed as Battle Cruisers. It is certain had the Royal Navy, the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the United States Navy Not Converter These ships, that Naval Aviation would have take years, or maybe more than decades to reach its potential.
However that was not to be, of the planned 14 ships of these three classes only three were completed, all as aircraft carriers, ships that helped to forge the future of naval operations and warfare for nearly a century. Thus the uncompleted ships are an interesting footnote in naval history yet have their own mystique.
Yet nothing remains static. The carriers have ruled the waves since December 7th 1941. But the massive aircraft carriers which have ruled the seas since the Second World War are not necessarily invincible and depending on how technology progresses could be heading into obsolescence, and may end up serving in support roles or being paid off. Yet that being said the United States is continuing to construct carriers of the Ford Class, the British the Queen Elizabeth Class, while the Chinese and Indian Navies pursue the development of new super carriers, while the French Navy operates the CVN Charles De Gaulle.
But with the development of more and more relatively cheap, long range, and maneuverable land based anti-ship missile systems, and the capabilities of modern submarines we have to ask the legitimate question, is the aircraft carrier’s reign of the seas in jeopardy? This is a good question, but not the only one because since World War II there have been no carrier versus carrier engagements on the high seas. There are some places that are outside the range of land based anti-ship weapons, although submarines may prove a problem for surface forces to deal with, and for carriers their survival.
But since there have been no carrier versus carrier actions since the Second World War it would be interesting to see how the current carriers now operational or being developed would fare against each other if such an encounter occurred. It would be a test of air wings, ship design, and the protective capabilities of their escorts, as well as the cyber realm, on, above, and below the surface. Until such an engagement occurred all opinions, even those done in computer simulations are at best guesses as most of the weapons systems have never been tried in actual combat against peer competitors. Thus, like the carriers and their escorts designed before the Second World War, they will have to be tested in combat to see if they are still relevant in their designed role, or if they will be relegated to support roles which could be done by less costly alternatives such as the LHA/LHD type ships of the United States, France, Japan, and South Korea, or the the Sea Control Ship derivations in other smaller Navies in Europe and Asia.
Perhaps to meet some missions smaller and cheaper carriers will be developed, or existing platforms modified to carry more capable aircraft as the Japanese are doing with their Izumo and Hyuga Class “Helicopter Destroyers,” and the South Koreans are doing with their two Dokto Class LPH (Landing Platform Helicoptor) both of which may soon begin to operate the F35B fighter aircraft purchased from the United States, the same aircraft with will operate from United States Navy LHAs and LHDs as well as the British Queen Elizabeth Class.
JMSDF “Helicopter Destroyer” Kaga
Thus, one might wonder if the large new aircraft carriers currently being built by the United States, Britain, China, India, and other nations will also be displaced by advancing technology as were the battlecrusiers of the 1920s. It is a question that must be asked. There are certainly arguments for them, but what would the effect be on the United States Navy if one of the Nimitz or Ford Class carriers was sunk by the Chinese, or evening the Iranians? My guess is that it would be the same kind of shock that hit the Royal Navy after Jutland, and the U.S. Navy after Pearl Harbor.
I still believe in the aircraft carrier, as a weapon of deterrence, support of operations ashore, and against enemy ships on the high seas. But eight decades is a long run for any weapons system, and it is possible that despite the major power’s investment in carriers, that their reign may be coming to an end, at the same time it may be too early to count out the Super Carriers. Perhaps their mission will be modified to support smaller ships in sea control missions and reserved for potential combat with countries which have no answer to them, or against similar platforms in open ocean battles.
I believe that the future has not been decided in relation to the aircraft carrier and much of that will have to do with how the operators of such vessels adapt to a changing world with many more threats, in order to maximize their capabilities while minimizing the dangers to such expensive national security assets. This is the aspect of war and national security that is within the control of human beings. I think of Admiral Arleigh Burke’s words at times like this:
“For in this modern world, the instruments of warfare are not solely for waging war. Far more importantly, they are the means for controlling peace. Naval officers must therefore understand not only how to fight a war, but how to use the tremendous power which they operate to sustain a world of liberty and justice, without unleashing the powerful instruments of destruction and chaos that they have at their command.”
he other possibility is that the navies that operate them decide that they are too expensive, and that their vulnerabilities outweigh their capabilities. This was the case in the 1920s with the battlecruisers then under construction.

Pearl Harbor and the Advent of the Aircraft Carrier, But Can the Carrier Remain Supreme?
On the morning of December 7th 1941 8 of the 9 Battleships assigned to the US Pacific Fleet were in Pearl Harbor. Seven, the USS California, USS Maryland, USS Oklahoma, USS Tennessee, USS West Virginia, USS Arizona and USS Nevada were moored on Battleship Row. The USS Pennsylvania was in the massive dry dock which she shared with the destroyers USS Cassin and USS Downes. The USS Colorado, a sister ship of Maryland and West Virginia was at the Puget Sound Naval Yard being overhauled.
USS West Virginia sinking at left and USS Tennessee burning at Pearl Harbor
At the time both the United States Navy and the Japanese Imperial Navy still viewed the Battleships as the heart of the fleet and the essence of naval power. Aircraft Carriers were still viewed as an adjunct and support to the traditional battle line.
Japanese Aircraft preparing to launch at Pearl Harbor
Thus as the Japanese Carrier Strike Group, the Kido Butai under the command of Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo approached Pearl Harbor and intelligence reports came in indicating that the carriers were not present the Japanese were not overly concerned. The lack of concern was in a sense ironic because the force they assigned to destroy the Battleships of the Pacific Fleet was the carrier strike group, not their battle line. The Kido Butai was the largest carrier strike group assembled until late 1943 when the U.S. Pacific Fleet fielded a larger carrier strike group, something no other country has done since.
The Kido Butai enroute to Pearl Harbor
Comprised of six carriers, the Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu, Shokaku and Zuikaku the force embarked over 300 first line aircraft. The aviators of the air groups aboard the carriers had been training for months to attack Pearl Harbor. Their aircraft had been specially outfitted with Type 91 Model 2 aerial torpedoes designed to run in the shallow waters of Pearl Harbor and Type 99 Model 5 armor piecing bombs modified from battleship shells. These weapons would be employed with a devastating effect on the morning of December 7th 1941.
The three carriers assigned to the Pacific Fleet, the USS Saratoga, USS Lexington and USS Enterprise had been dispatched on missions that took them away from Pearl Harbor that fateful Sunday.
The Lexington and Task Force 12 had departed Pearl Harbor on December 5th to ferry 18 SB2U Vindicator Dive Bombers of VSMB-231 to Midway Island. These aircraft would ultimately take part in the Battle of Midway and the sinking of the Japanese Cruiser Mikuma. Saratoga was entering San Diego to embark her air group, and Enterprise which had left Pearl Harbor on November 28th to deliver VMF-211 to Wake Island was due to return to Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December. As such none of these ships were in Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack. Their absence helped save the United States and Allied cause in the Pacific.
USS Saratoga
The United States had other carriers but all were assigned to the Atlantic Fleet due to the belief that Nazi Germany was a greater threat than Japan. The USS Yorktown was at Norfolk in between deployments in support of the Neutrality Patrol. USS Ranger was returning to Norfolk from a Neutrality patrol, USS Wasp was at Grassy Bay Bermuda and the newly commissioned USS Hornet was training out of Norfolk. The USS Long Island, the first Escort carrier was undergoing operational tests and training out of Norfolk.
USS Enterprise at Midway
Had any of the three carriers assigned to the Pacific Fleet been in Pearl Harbor on the morning of the Japanese attack the results would have been even more disastrous for the United States. Instead these carriers began operations against the Japanese almost immediately. Carriers based on the East Coast including Hornet, Yorktown and Wasp were transferred to the Pacific. In the perilous months following the Pearl Harbor attack the US carriers took the fight to the Japanese conducting raids against Japanese held islands. In April 1942 the Enterprise and Hornet, the latter with 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers under the command of Colonel Jimmy Doolittle struck Tokyo.
USS Hornet launching the Doolittle Raiders
The result of that attack resulted in a severe embarrassment and loss of face to the Imperial Navy. the strategic and psychological implications were such that Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto decided to attack Midway Island to force the US fleet and its carriers into a decisive battle. Although the Japanese had lost a good number of aircrew from Shokaku and Zuikaku at the Battle of Coral Sea, while sinking Lexington Yamamoto remained committed to the decisive battle.
That battle was decisive, but not in the way Yamamoto had planned. Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu and Soryu were sunk by aircraft operating from Enterprise, Yorktown and Hornet. Yorktown was lost in the battle bat it was a decisive defeat for the Japanese. From that point, though they still were superior to the U.S. Navy in numbers of Carriers and surface warships, and still maintained a massive number of islands which they had fortified and built airbases on in defiance of treaties they agreed to at the end of the First World War,
Sinking the Akagi at Midway
In the succeeding months in the vicious battles around the Solomon Islands the remaining US carriers proved decisive. Although Wasp and Hornet were sunk in those battles and both Saratoga and Enterprise were often heavily damaged, they held the line. The carriers that the Japanese missed proved decisive in turning the tide and winning the war.
Raised from the mud of Pearl Harbor the USS West Virginia in Tokyo Bay
Though Yamamoto did not realize it, the attack on Pearl Harbor signaled the end of the supremacy of the Battleship and the ascendency of the Aircraft Carrier. By 1943 Battleships were regulated to escorting the fast carrier task forces or conducting shore bombardments. The ultimate irony was that the last battleship engagement in history was won by the survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Raised from the mud the West Virginia, Tennessee, California, Maryland and Pennsylvania joined by the USS Mississippi rained destruction on two Japanese task forces attempting to penetrate Leyte Gulf and destroy the US invasion force transports at the Battle of Surigao Strait.
It was a fascinating turn of events. The Japanese dispatched the cream of their carrier air forces to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl. Harbor, and though they crippled the battleships they failed to destroy the American aircraft carriers, at Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, or the Guadalcanal campaign. In the following years the Enterprise and Saratoga, bolstered by the carriers of the Essex Class, and the Light Fleet Carriers of the Independence Class, and helped by the addition of dozens of Escort Carriers, which relieved them of the mundane tasks of convoy escort and amphibious landing support, wreaked havoc on the Imperial Japanese Navy from late 1943 on. The Battles of the Philippine Sea, Leyte Gulf, the raid on Formosa, and the strikes on the Japanese homeland proved the superiority of the carrier force the Japanese missed at Pearl Harbor and failed to destroy in subsequent engagements.
Today, nearly eight decades later there is a question of the relevance of aircraft carriers, even though the United States, Great Britain, China, Russia, India, and other nations continue their development. I have to admit, that with the development of other weapons platforms and technologies, that I do not know the ultimate fate of the aircraft carrier. However, like the Ships of the Line that dominated late 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries., the Ironclads that dominated the late 19th Century, and the Dreadnaughts that dominated until Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor was 78 years ago. Since then carrier and submarine eclipsed the power of the the battleship. We cannot assume that the era of the aircraft carrier will continue without end. The Japanese discounted the power of the aircraft carrier and submarine, assuming that battleships supported by carriers and submarines would maintain control of the Oceans. They were wrong. Regardless of what weapons system we presume will dominate the future, we also must admit the very real possibility that we could be wrong. Technologies that we have not ever began to imagine, except possibly in the realm of science fiction may change everything we believed possible.
i am neither the prophet nor the son of the prophet, thus my opinion is only that: I believe that the carrier will remain the centerpiece of Naval power and strategy for the next decade, and possibly another, but as a military and Naval historian I cannot predict that they remain so longer than that. Thus the United States Navy, and for that matter all navies begin looking toward and planning for technologies that are either in their infancy or not yet imagined. To ignore that fact would be to ignore history. We do that to our detriment.

The Doomed Fleet: The Ships and Men of the Japanese Kido Butai Which Attacked Pearl Harbor
Friends of Padre Steve’s World
Early December is such an interesting time of year for a historian. There are a lot of events that occurred which still linger in our memories. One of those is the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941. I find it interesting and compelling because of its significance in world history, not just American. Japan’s surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, followed by its belated declaration of war and those of Germany and Italy ushered in a new world with ramifications that extend to our day. Tonight, I will not be addressing the issue of Japanese War crimes, and those committed by the Imperial Navy, although the crew of Heavy Cruiser Tone massacred many of the survivors of the S.S. Behar in the Indian Ocean in early 1944.
Early in the morning on November 26th 1941 the ships of the Japanese Carrier Strike Force, the Kido Butai under the command of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo weighed anchor from Tankan Bay in the northern Kurile Islands of Japan. The plan was top secret and very few Japanese officers knew of the target. Many officers presumed that war was immanent but most assumed the target would be the Philippines or other targets in Southeast Asia.
Nagumo
The next day Nagumo expressed his personal misgivings about the attack to his Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Ryunosuke Kusaka as the task force plunged through heavy seas. He blurted out, “Mr. Chief of Staff, what do you think? I feel that I’ve undertaken a heavy responsibility. If I had only been more firm and refused. Now we’ve left home waters and I’m beginning to wonder if this operation will work.”
Admiral Kusaka came up with the right answer: “Sir, there’s no need to worry. We’ll make out all right.”
Nagumo smiled. “I envy you, Mr. Kusaka. You’re such an optimist.”
The attack on Pearl Harbor was designed to be pre-emptive in nature. It was supposed to deliver such a crushing blow to the United States Navy that the Japanese could complete their Asian conquests before it could recover. It was a plan of great risk that doomed Japan to horror never before imagined when the United States dropped Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than four years later. By then the bulk of the Imperial Navy would be at the bottom of the Pacific and millions of people killed.
The Japanese, even Admiral Yamamoto, the man behind the plan understood that it entailed great risks. Yamamoto had opposed the Japanese war against China, the alliance with Germany and Italy, and war with the United States, which he believed could not be won. Radicals in the Japanese Army wanted him dead before the war, and his appointment as commander of the Combined Fleet was in large part based on the Navy’s desire to prevent his assassination. Retired Japanese Admiral Yoji Koda says “Yamamoto faced a commander’s worst nightmare: Lead his men into a war he knew they could not win and should not fight; or step aside and let them face defeat alone.” (Legacy Still Not Settled for Reluctant Architect of Attack on Pearl Harbor http://nation.time.com/2013/04/22/legacy-still-unsettled-for-reluctant-architect-of-pearl-harbor/
A simulation of the plan conducted in early September by the senior officers of the Combined Fleet and the Kido Butai calculated that two of Japan’s precious aircraft carriers could be lost in the operation. But despite the opposition and reservations of key officers, including the Kido Butai commander, Admiral Nagumo Yamamoto pressed forward.
The Kido Butai was the most powerful carrier strike group assembled up to that time. In fact the United States Navy would not equal the power of the force until late 1943. Comprised of six aircraft carriers, the massive flagship Akagi, and the Kaga, the fast 18,000-ton Soryu and Hiryu and the most modern Shokaku and Zuikaku. The carrier embarked over 400 aircraft, of which over 350 were to be used in the two aerial assault waves. Most of the pilots and aircrew were experienced, many with combat experience in China. The carriers were escorted by the old but fast and modernized battleships Kirishima and Hiei, the new heavy cruisers Tone and Chikuma, the light cruiser Abukuma, the new Kagero Class destroyers, Urakaze, Isokaze, Tanikaze, Hamakaze, Kagero and Shiranuhi, the Asashio class destroyers Arare and Kasumi. Two additional destroyers the Fubuki class Sazanami and Ushio were assigned to neutralize the American base on Midway Island. The submarines I-19, I-21 and I-23 and 8 oilers were assigned to the force. Five additional submarines the I-16, I-18, I-20, I-22 and I-24 each embarked a Type-A midget submarine.

On December 7th the force delivered a devastating blow to the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, however no American aircraft carriers were present. It would go on for the next several months on a rampage across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. However their success would be short lived. Within a year, the carriers that were not present at Pearl Harbor sank the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu at Midway. Hiei and Kirishima were lost at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in November 1942. Over the course of the war every ship of the attack force but one was lost.

Shokaku was torpedoed and sunk at the Battle of the Philippine Sea and Zuikaku, Chikuma and Abukuma were lost at Leyte Gulf, most of the destroyers and submarines were lost in various engagements. However three destroyers, Isokaze, Hamakaze and Kasumi accompanied the great Battleship Yamato on her suicide mission at Okinawa and were sunk on April 7th 1945. The heavy cruiser Tone was sunk at her moorings at Kure during air strikes by the US 3rd Fleet on July 24th 1945.

All of the submarines were lost during the war, however I-19 sank the USS Wasp and the destroyer USS O’Brien while damaging the USS North Carolina on September 15th 1942 off Guadalcanal. Only the destroyer Ushio survived the war and was broken up for scrap in 1948.
Fuchida (above) and Genda
Among the leaders of the Japanese strike force, Admiral Yamamoto was killed on April 18th 1943 when his aircraft was shot down at Buin. His body was recovered and cremated with the ashes interred at two different locations, however, no military or government leaders attended his funeral, no honor guard was furnished, and no wreathes were laid. He is little mentioned in Japanese history books, resurgent Japanese Nationalists have little regard for him, and unlike the main Japanese War Memorial, the Yushukan museum at the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, the small museum in Nagaoka to Yamamoto does not offer revisionist history of Japan’s innocence and victim status. Likewise, no Japanese military bases or ships bear his name.
Most of the sailors who took part in the attack would be dead by the end of the war. Nagumo who resisted the strike and was ordered to lead it realized his worst fears at Midway and during the battles around Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands, died in the American invasion of Saipan in 1944. The two aviators who planned and executed the tactical details of the raid, Mitsuo Fuchida, and Minoru Genda, both survived the war. Genda became a general in the Japanese Air Self Defense Force and died at the age of 84 in 1989. Fuchida converted to Christianity after reading the story of Doolittle Raid survivor Jacob DeShazor. Fuchida became a Methodist pastor and evangelist and died in 1976 at the age of 73.
Few present at Tankan Bay on that fateful November morning could have expected the triumph and tragedy ahead. However Yamamoto was probably more of a realist than almost anyone in the Japanese government and military leadership when he told Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe “In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.” Yamamoto was eerily prophetic and those that counsel pre-emptive war need to never forget his words or the results of his decisions.

The Battle Of Midway at 77 Years: “A Magic Blend of Skill, Faith, and Valor”
Today we remember the Battle of Midway, the turning point of World War Two in the Pacific. By all empirical means the vastly superior Japanese fleet should have defeated the Americans, but success in war is not based on material alone. There are things unaccounted for, things that happen in the confusion of battle that The Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz wrote.
“War is the province of chance. In no other sphere of human activity must such a margin be left for this intruder. It increases the uncertainty of every circumstance and deranges the course of events.”
Six months after Pearl Harbor the United States Navy met the Imperial Japanese Navy in battle on the seas and in the airspace around Midway Island. It was a battle between a fleet that had known nothing but victory in the months after Pearl Harbor and one with the exception of a few minor tactical successes was reeling.
Akagi April 1942
The Japanese had swept across the Pacific and the Indian Oceans and decimated every Allied Naval forces that stood in their way. After Pearl Harbor they had sunk the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse off of Singapore. Next in a series of engagements destroyed the bulk of the US Asiatic Fleet in the waters around the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies culminating in the Battle of the Java Sea where the bulk of the American, British, Dutch and Australian (ABDA) naval forces engaged were annihilated attempting to fight superior Japanese forces.
HMS Hermes sinking after Japanese Carrier air attack in the Indian Ocean
In the Indian Ocean Admiral Nagumo’s carriers dispatched a force of Royal Navy cruisers and the Aircraft Carrier HMS Hermes. In only one place had a Japanese Naval task force been prevented from achieving its goal. At the Battle of the Coral Sea where Task Force 11 and Task Force 17 centered on the Carriers USS Lexington and USS Yorktown prevented a Japanese invasion force from taking Port Moresby sinking the light carrier Shoho, damaging the modern carrier Shokaku and decimating the air groups of the Japanese task force.

In May US Navy code breakers under the direction of Commander Joe Rochefort at Pearl Harbor discovered the next move of the Imperial Navy an attack on Midway Island and the Aleutian islands. Since the occupation of Midway by Japanese forces would give them an operational base less than 1000 miles from Pearl Harbor Admiral Chester Nimitz committed the bulk of his naval power, the carriers USS Enterprise CV-6, USS Yorktown CV-5 and USS Hornet CV-8 and their 8 escorting cruisers and 15 destroyers, a total of 26 ships with 233 aircraft embarked to defend Midway. Nimitz also sent a force of 5 cruisers and 4 destroyers to cover the Aleutians.
SBU-2 Vindicator Dive Bomber landing on Midway (above) PBY Catalina (below)
Land based air assets on Midway were composed of a mixed Marine, Navy and Army air group of 115 aircraft, many of which were obsolete. Aboard Midway there were 32 US Navy PBY Catalina Flying Boats, 83 fighters, dive bombers, torpedo planes and Army Air Force bombers piloted by a host of inexperienced pilots.
Nimitz’s instructions to his Task Force Commanders was simple “You will be governed by the principle of calculated risk, which you shall interpret to mean the avoidance of exposure of your force to attack by superior enemy forces without good prospect of inflicting … greater damage on the enemy.”
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto commanded the Combined Fleet. The victor of Pearl Harbor and the triumph’s in the first six months of the Pacific War was determined to end the war with a decisive battle at Midway. His plans were opposed by many in the Imperial General Staff, especially those in the Army but when the US raid on Tokyo, the Doolittle Raid, all opposition to the attack was dropped.
The Japanese sent a force of 7 battleships and 7 carriers against Midway. These included the elite First Carrier Striking Group composed of the Pearl Harbor attackers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu and their highly trained and combat experienced air groups. Among the surface ships was Yamamoto’s flagship, the mighty Battleship Yamato, at 72,000 tons and armed with 9 18” guns, the most powerful and largest battleship ever to see combat.
The strike force included 273 aircraft and was escorted by 14 cruisers and 39 destroyers. They were to take Midway and then destroy the US Navy when it came out to fight. Yamamoto sent a force force of 4 battleships, 12 destroyers assigned screen to the Aleutian invasion force which was accompanied by 2 carriers 6 cruisers and 10 destroyers. The other carriers embarked a further 114 aircraft.
Despite this great preponderance in numbers Yamamoto’s plan was complex and his forces too far apart from each other to offer support should and get into trouble. The powerful Japanese Task forces were scattered over thousands of square miles of the Northern Pacific Ocean where they could not rapidly come to the assistance of any other group.
With the foreknowledge provided by the code breakers the US forces hurried to an intercept position northeast of Midway eluding the Japanese submarine scout line which the Japanese Commander Admiral Yamamoto presumed would find them when they sailed to respond to the Japanese attack on Midway. Task Force 16 with the Enterprise and Hornet sailed first under the command of Rear Admiral Raymond A Spruance and Task Force 17 under Rear Admiral Frank “Jack” Fletcher with the Yorktown which had been miraculously brought into fighting condition after suffering heavy damage at Coral Sea. Fletcher assumed overall command by virtue of seniority and Admiral Nimitz instructed his commanders to apply the principle of calculated risk when engaging the Japanese as the loss of the US carriers would place the entire Pacific at the mercy of the Japanese Navy.
On June 3rd a PBY Catalina discovered the Japanese invasion force and US long range bombers launched attacks against it causing no damage. The morning of the 4th the Americans adjusted their search patterns in and the Japanese came into range of Midway and commenced their first strike against the island.
In response land based aircraft from Midway attacked the Japanese carrier force taking heavy casualties and failing to damage the Japanese task force. The American Carrier task forces launched their strike groups at the Japanese fleet leaving enough aircraft behind of the Combat Air Patrol and Anti-submarine patrol. As the Americans winged toward the Japanese fleet the Japanese were in a state of confusion. The confusion was caused when a scout plane from the Heavy Cruiser Tone that had been delayed at launch discovered US ships but did not identify a carrier among them until later into the patrol. The carrier was the Yorktown and TF 17, but for Nagumo who first expected no American naval forces, then received a report of surface ships without a carrier followed by the report of a carrier the reports were unsettling.
Orders and counter-orders were issued as the Japanese attempted to recover their strike aircraft and prepare for a second strike on the island and then on discovery of the Yorktown task force, orders changed and air crews unloaded ground attack ordnance in favor of aerial torpedoes and armor piercing bombs. The hard working Japanese aircrew did not have time to stow the ordnance removed from the aircraft but by 1020 they had the Japanese strike group ready to launch against the US carriers.
As the Japanese crews worked the Japanese carriers were engaged in fending off attacks by the US torpedo bomber squadrons, VT-6 from Enterprise, VT-8 from Hornet and VT-3 from Yorktown. The Japanese Combat Air Patrol ripped into the slow, cumbersome and under armed TBD Devastators as they came in low to launch their torpedoes. Torpedo Eight from Hornet under the command of LCDR John C Waldron pressed the attack hard but all 15 of the Devastators were shot down. Only Ensign George Gay’s aircraft was able to launch its torpedo before being shot down and Gay would be the sole survivor of the squadron.

Torpedo 6 from Enterprise under the command of LCDR Eugene Lindsey suffered heavy casualties losing 10 of 14 aircraft with Lindsey being one of the casualties. The last group of Devastators to attack was Torpedo 3 from Yorktown under the command of LCDR Lem Massey from the Yorktown. These aircraft were also decimated and Massey killed but they had drawn the Japanese Combat Air Patrol down to the deck leaving the task force exposed to the Dive Bombers of the Enterprise and Yorktown.
There had been confusion among the Americans as to the exact location of the Japanese Carriers. Bombing 8 and Scouting 8 from Hornet did not find the carriers and had to return for lack of fuel while losing a number of bombers and their fighter escort having to ditch inn the ocean and wait for rescue. The Enterprise group composed of Bombing-6 and Scouting 6 under CDR Wade McClusky was perilously low on fuel when the wake of a Japanese destroyer was spotted. McClusky followed it to the Japanese Task Force. The Yorktown’sgroup under LCDR Max Leslie arrived about the same time.
When the American dive bombers arrived over the Japanese Carrier Strike Force they found the skies empty of Japanese aircraft. Below, aboard the Japanese ships there was a sense of exhilaration as each succeeding group of attackers was brought down and with their own aircraft ready to launch and deal a fatal blow to the American carrier wondered how big their victory would be. The war would soon be decided.
Akagi dodging bombs at Midway
At 1020 the first Zero of the Japanese attack group began rolling down the flight deck of the flagship Akagi, aboard Kaga aircraft were warming up as they were on the Soryu. The unsuspecting Japanese were finally alerted when lookouts screamed “helldivers.” Wade McClusky’s aircraft lined up over the Akagi and Kaga pushing into their dives at 1022. There was a bit of confusion when the bulk of Scouting 6 joined the attack of Bombing 6 on the Kaga. That unprepared ship was struck by four 1000 pound bombs which exploded on her flight deck and hangar deck igniting the fully fueled and armed aircraft of her strike group and the ordnance littered about the hangar deck. Massive fires and explosions wracked the ship and in minutes the proud ship was reduced to an infernal hell with fires burning uncontrollably. She was abandoned and would sink at 1925 taking 800 of her crew with her.
LT Dick Best of Scouting 6 peeled off from the attack on Kaga and shifted to the Japanese flagship Akagi. On board Akagi were two of Japan’s legendary pilots CDR Mitsuo Fuchida leader of and CDR Minoru Genda the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack and subsequent string of Japanese victories. Both officers were on the sick list and had come up from sick bay to watch as the fleet was attacked. Seeing Kaga burst into flames they stood mesmerized until Akagi’slookouts screamed out the warning “helldivers” at 1026. Best’s few aircraft hit with deadly precision landing two of their bombs on Akagi’s flight deck creating havoc among the loaded aircraft and starting fires and igniting secondary explosions which turned the ship into a witch’s cauldron. By 1046 Admiral Nagumo and his staff were forced to transfer the flag to the cruiser Nagara as Akagi’s crew tried to bring the flames under control. They would do so into the night until nothing more could be done and abandoned ship at 2000. Admiral Yamamoto ordered her scuttled and at 0500 on June 5th the pride of the Japanese carrier force was scuttled.
VB-3 under LCDR Max Leslie from the Yorktown stuck the Soryu with 17 aircraft, however only 13 of the aircraft had bombs due to an electronic arming device malfunction on 4 of the aircraft, including that of Commander Leslie. Despite this Leslie led the squadron as it dove on the Soryu at 1025 hitting that ship with 3 and maybe as many as 5 bombs. Soryu like her companions burst into flames as the ready aircraft and ordnance exploded about her deck. She was ordered abandoned at 1055 and would sink at 1915 taking 718 of her crew with her.
The remaining Japanese flattop the Hiryu attained the same fate later in the day after engaging in an epic duel with the Yorktown which her aircraft heavily damaged. Yorktown would be sunk by the Japanese submarine I-168 while being towed to safety.

In five pivotal minutes the course of the war in the Pacific was changed. Authors have entitled books about Midway Incredible Victory by Walter Lord and Miracle at Midway by Gordon Prange and those titles reflect the essence of the battle.
At Midway a distinctly smaller force defeated a vastly superior fleet in terms of experience, training and equipment. At the very moment that it appeared to the Japanese that they would advance to victory their vision disappeared. In a span of less than 5 minutes what looked like the certain defeat of the US Navy became one of the most incredible and even miraculous victories in the history of Naval warfare. In those 5 minutes history was changed in a breathtaking way. While the war would drag on and the Japanese still inflict painful losses and defeats on the US Navy in the waters around Guadalcanal the tide had turned and the Japanese lost the initiative in the Pacific never to regain it.
The Japanese government hid the defeat from the Japanese people instead proclaiming a great victory. The American government could not fully publicize the victory for fear of revealing the intelligence that led to the ability of the US Navy to be at the right place at the right time and defeat the Imperial Navy.
The American victory at Midway changed the course of the war in the Pacific. The Battle of Midway established the aircraft carrier and the fast carrier task force as the dominant force in naval warfare which some would argue it still remains. Finally those five minutes ushered in an era of US Navy dominance of the high seas which at least as of yet has not ended as the successors to the Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown ply the oceans of the world and the descendants of those valiant carrier air groups ensure air superiority over battlefields around the world.
Walter Lord, whose history of the battle is still the classic presentation of it wrote:
“Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit – a magic blend of skill, faith, and valor – that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.”

Devastators Into the Valley of Death: The Sacrifice of the Torpedo Bombers at Midway
Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote:
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns’ he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
They were not six hundred and they were not mounted on horses but the Naval Aviators of Torpedo Squadrons Three, Six and Eight and their aerial steeds 42 Douglas TBD Devastators and 6 TBF Avengers wrote a chapter of courage and sacrifice seldom equaled in the history of Naval Aviation. Commanded by veteran Naval Aviators, LCDR Lance “Lem” Massey, LCDR Eugene Lindsey and LCDR John Waldron the squadrons embarked aboard the carriers flew the obsolete TBD Devastators and the young pilots of the Midway based Torpedo 8 detachment under the command of LT Langdon Fieberling flew in the new TBF Avengers.
When it entered service in 1937 the TBD was the most modern naval aircraft in the world when It was a revolutionary aircraft. It was the first monoplane widely used on carriers and was first all-metal naval aircraft. It was the first naval aircraft with a totally enclosed cockpit, the first with hydraulic powered folding wings. The TBD had crew of three and had a maximum speed of 206 miles an hour and carried a torpedo or up to 1500 pounds of bombs (3 x 500) or a 1000 pound bomb.
LCDR Lem Massey Commanding Officer of Torpedo 3
A total of 129 Devastators were built and served in all pre-war torpedo bombing squadrons based aboard the Lexington, Saratoga, Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise and Hornet, while a limited number embarked aboard Wasp. The Devastator saw extensive service prior to the war which pushed many airframes to the end of their useful service life. When war began only about 100 remained operational. By then the TBDs were for all purposes obsolete.They were too slow, had poor maneuverability, insufficient armor and defensive armament.
They were still in service in 1942 as their replacement the TBF Avenger was not available for service in large enough numbers to replace them before Midway. The TBDs of Torpedo Two and Torpedo Five based on the Lexington and Yorktown performed adequately against minor opposition in strikes against the Marshall Islands, and contributed to the sinking of the Japanese Light Carrier Shoho at the Battle of Coral Sea..
However in the Battle of Midway the squadrons embarked on Yorktown, Torpedo Three which had previously been assigned to Saratoga which was undergoing repair, Torpedo Six of Enterprise, and Torpedo Eight of Hornet were annihilated with only 6 of 41 aircraft surviving their uncoordinated attacks against the Japanese Carrier Strike Force.
When the Japanese were discovered the American carriers launched a massive strike agains the Japanese carriers. Unfortunately the attacking squadrons became separated from each other and the torpedo bombers arrived before the dive bombers and without fighter escort. Over the course of an hour and ten minutes the three squadrons attacked independently of each other. Lacking coordination and with inadequate escort, the lumbering aircraft were easy prey for the modern Japanese A6M Zeroes.
The Zeroes of Japanese Combat Air Patrol ripped into the slow, cumbersome and under armed Devastators as they came in low and slow to launch their torpedoes. Torpedo Eight from Hornet under the command of LCDR John C Waldron pressed the attack hard but all 15 of aircraft were shot down. Only Ensign George Gay’s aircraft was able to launch its torpedo before being shot down and Gay would be the sole survivor of the squadron. From his observation point hiding under floating wreckage Gay would see the dive bombers get revenge and would be rescued later by a PBY Catalina patrol plane.
LCDR John Waldron Commanding Officer of Torpedo Eight
Torpedo Six from the Enterprise under the command of LCDR Eugene Lindsey suffered heavy casualties too. It lost 10 of 14 aircraft with Lindsey being one of the casualties. The last group of Devastators to attack was Torpedo Three from the Yorktown under the command of LCDR Lem Massey losing 11 of 13 aircraft with Massey a casualty last being seen standing on the wing of his burning aircraft as it went down.
These aircraft were also decimated and Massey killed but they had drawn the Japanese Combat Air Patrol down to the deck leaving the task force exposed to the Dive Bombers of the Enterprise and Yorktown. The six aircraft of the Torpedo Eight detachment from Midway under the command of LT Fieberling lost 5 of their 6 aircraft while pressing their attacks. Only Ensign Bert Earnest and his aircraft survived the battle landing in a badly damaged state on Midway. Four U.S. Army B-26 Marauder Medium Bombers were pressed into service as torpedo bombers of which 2 were lost. No torpedo bomber scored a hit on the Japanese Task force even those torpedoes launched at close range failed to score and it is believe that this was in large part due to the poor performance of the Mark 13 aircraft torpedoes.
Despite the enormous losses of the torpedo squadrons their sacrifice was not in vain. Their attacks served to confuse the Japanese command and delay the rearmament of aircraft following the Japanese strikes on Midway. They also took the Japanese Combat Air Patrol down to sea level and opened the way for American Dive Bombers to strike the Japanese with impunity fatally damaging the Akagi, Kaga and Soryu in the space of 5 minutes.
After Midway the remaining TBDs were withdrawn from active service and no example survives today. The TBF became the most effective torpedo bomber of the war.
As we remember the brave men that fought at Midway it is imperative that we remember the brave aircrews of the torpedo squadrons that like the Light Brigade rode into the Valley of the Shadow of Death against the First Carrier Strike Force and Midway.

Sailing for a Date With Infamy: The Kido Butai Sails to Pearl Harbor
Here is a blast from the past to remember the Japanese fleet that on this day some seventy-six years ago that was making its way across the Northern Pacific Ocean to attack the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. In the coming week or so I will post more articles about that attack and what it means today both as a lesson in history as well as a warning.
So until tomorrow,
Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto
It was an attack that was designed to be pre-emptive in nature. The plan was to deal the United States Navy such a crushing blow that the Japanese could complete their Asian conquests before it could recover. It was a plan of great risk that doomed Japan to horror never before imagined when the United States dropped Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than four years later. By then the bulk of the Imperial Navy would lay at the bottom of the Pacific and millions of people killed.
The Japanese, even Admiral Yamamoto, the man behind the plan assumed that it entailed great risks. A simulation of the plan conducted in early September by the senior officers of the Combined Fleet and the Kido Butai calculated that two of Japan’s precious aircraft carriers could be lost in the operation. But despite the opposition and reservations of key officers, including the Kido Butai commander, Admiral Nagumo Yamamoto pressed forward.
The Kido Butai was the most powerful carrier strike group assembled up to that time. Comprised of six aircraft carriers, the massive flagship Akagi, and the Kaga, the fast 18,000 ton Soryu and Hiryu and the most modern Shokaku and Zuikaku. The carrier embarked over 400 aircraft, of which over 350 were to be used in the two aerial assault waves. Most of the pilots and aircrew were experienced, many with combat experience in China. The carriers were escorted by the old but fast and modernized battleships Kirishima and Hiei, the new heavy cruisers Tone and Chikuma, the light cruiser Abukuma, the new Kagero Class destroyers, Urakaze, Isokaze, Tanikaze, Hamakaze, Kagero and Shiranuhi,the Asashio classdestroyers Arare and Kasumi.Two additional destroyers the Fubuki class Sazanami and Ushiowere assigned to neutralize the American base on Midway Island. The submarines I-19, I-21and I-23 and 8 oilers were assigned to the force. Five additional submarines the I-16, I-18, I-20, I-22 and I-24 each embarked a Type-A midget submarine.
On December 7th the force delivered a devastating blow to the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, however no American aircraft carriers were present. It would go on for the next several months on a rampage across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. However their success would be short lived. Within a year Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu had been sunk at Midway by the carriers not present. Hiei and Kirishima were lost at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal and over the course of the war every ship of the attack force was lost. Shokaku was torpedoed and sunk at the Battle of the Philippine Sea and Zuikaku, Chikuma and Abukuma were lost at Leyte Gulf, most of the destroyers and submarines were lost in various engagements. However three destroyers, Isokaze, Hamakaze and Kasumi accompanied the great Battleship Yamato on her suicide mission at Okinawa and were sunk on April 7th 1945. The heavy cruiser Tone was sunk at her moorings at Kure during air strikes by the US 3rd Fleet on July 24th 1945. All of the submarines were lost during the war, however I-19 sank the USS Wasp CV-7 and USS O’Brien DD-415 while damaging the USS North Carolina BB-55 on September 15th 1942 off Guadalcanal. Only the destroyer Ushio survived the war and was broken up for scrap in 1948.
Wreck of the Heavy Cruise Tone 1945
Among the leaders of the Japanese strike force, Admiral Yamamoto was killed on April 18th 1943 when his aircraft was shot down at Buin. Nagumo died at Saipan on July 6th 1944. Most of the sailors who took part in the attack would be dead by the end of the war.
Few present at Tankan Bay on that fateful November morning could have expected the triumph and tragedy ahead. However Yamamoto was probably more of a realist than many in the Japanese government and military leadership when he told Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe “In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.” Yamamoto was eerily prophetic and those that counsel pre-emptive war need to never forget his words or the results of his decisions.

Biological labs don't need to be neat and keep things separate. Otherwise things like penecillin wouldn't get discovered. The fact that the growth conditions for penecillin were extremely tight in terms of environment make its discovery even more rare.
One physics student decided to use a bunsen burner to fry up hamburgers. He chose the cheapest, greasiest grade of meat. If he had remembered to close the door and vent the room outside he probably wouldn't have incurred the wrath of all the professors down the hall who weren't invited. I think that caused the second or third letter from the department chairman to our boss to stop doing something that was causing trouble for him.

When Gone With the Wind was first previewed to a test audience, they didn't have the music so they tacked on music from a similar genre film. It didn't hurt the film's reception. It's only when the soundtrack is significantly different from the audience's anticipation that you have problems. I've had friends watch shows where they turned the TV sound down and substituted their own music with no adverse affects other than they were already weird.

AD&D 1st edition rules had male characters being stronger and female characters having higher charisma (being prettier and using that to influence NPCs) limits. I don't have the books out, but each point of strength added something like 10 pounds of carrying capacity. For 18+ strengths t it was the to hit/damage that became significant since 18/00 was +3 to hit and +6 damage as opposed to +1/+3 for 18/50.
There was some justification that the extremes were in favor of men, but since most people wanted to max out their characters, they would have to play males for fighters. Knights of the Dinner Table had a female player running a male fighter because she was tired of that happening.
Edit to correct to Jumpin' Salmon's number.

The scenarios aren't failed, but unfinished. We'd have to see them for them to fail.
I wonder how he's going to figure the Spanish Civil War into this one?
Really, you couldn't see that The Hobbit is an allegory for the Spanish Civil War. Bilbo is the foreigners that come as anti-fascist fighters to aid the monarch Thorin Oakenshield. Smaug represents the fascist that have taken the country. Sauron (Hitler) is meanwhile sending supporters into neighboring lands and is repulsed in the proxy war leading up to LotR.
Okay it doesn't perfectly fit, but I'm not up on that war.

There is some material in the appendicies giving the timeline between the two books (characters born, battles fought, etc.) and there were sections talking about the characters past histories. So it's possible to make up some based on that as a starting point, but the hobbit part will be boring since Bilbo writes his adventures and Frodo steals mushrooms.

It was in one of the introductions for a book. Part of the problem was he had a few children and was trying to save for their future educations.
The figure I've seen is that a basic paper back run nets an author about $20,000. This is higher for an established author that can command more than the basic $5.99 per book price and royalty. This is a few years ago so it will be higher due to inflation.

Orgone Los Angeles?Funk / Soul / Afro-beat??or·gone (ôr’gon) ?n. A universal life force, a cosmic unit of energy, the creative force in nature.
Los Angeles based band Orgone is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force and musicians who have played together for years. They are self schooled and continue to shape their musical voice as a solid unit of guys who hang, spin records and jam out their shared inspirations. With a rooted sense of funk, soul, afrobeat, deep rhythms and an intimate understanding of dj culture as well as each others’ individual talents, Orgone seamlessly slides through multiple styles and dynamic performances. The group continuously injects whatever they play with a heavy brand of raw funk power.
At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for more than 10 years. Having grown artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole. The orginal 5-member band started out by putting their own gritty takes on tunes by the likes of the JBs, the Meters, Booker T. and the MGs, Grant Green and Funkadelic among many others. They quickly gained underground respect and die hard fans. With their searing live sets and original instrumentals, Orgone soon released their debut self titled CD, “Orgone,” in 2002. The result was a collection of all original down home, transcendental, tough and gritty funk instrumentals.

Erykah Badu was born Erica Wright in Dallas, Texas, in 1972. By the age of 14, Erykah was free-styling for a local radio station alongside such talent as Roy Hargrove, who, incidentally, was a talented beat-boxer back in the 80’s and who is now a very successful session musician in his own right. In her early youth, she decided to change the spelling of her name from Erica to Erykah, as she firmly believed her original name to be her ‘slave’ name. The term ‘kah’ signifies the inner self, which, when translated from Muslim, means ‘can do no wrong’. Her surname, Badu, derives from an Arabic word which means ‘to manifest truth and light’. After completing her theatre studies at university in 1993, Erykah Badu decided to concentrate on her music. She began to teach children how to sing and dance, whilst also performing in a hip-hop act with her cousin entitled Erykah Free. The following year Erykah met Tim Grace, of Legacy Entertainment. He listened to a demo once and decided to sign the young hip-hop duo without further hesitation. He then successfully managed to book Erykah Free to open for such established hip-hop crews as A Tribe Called Quest and Arrested Development. Erykah began recording the Baduizm set in 1996 and worked with such talented producers as ?love and Richard Nichols of The Roots, James Poyser and N’dambi. February of 1997 couldn’t possibly have been a bigger year for Erykah. Her debut album was released and it achieved platinum status in under a month; her live shows received continual praise and her popularity increased dramatically. Erykah Badu had finally arrived on the big stage. Erykah Badu inevitably drew close comparisons to the legendary Billie Holiday. The formers blend of old soul, jazz and hip-hop, fused with a hypnotic flow is capable of stirring the deepest emotions, and Erykah’s place amongst today’s elite female soul artists of the world is already well and truly assured.

Fela! is presented by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the first time they’ve produced a Broadway show. Fela! was created by Bill T. Jones. Jones choreographed, wrote the play book for, and directed Fela! Jones created his own dance company, has won a MacArthur Genius Award, a Harlem Renaissance Award, an Obie, and a Tony, among many other honors.
Fela! documents the incredible true story of Fela Kuti, a musician from Nigeria who pioneered Afro beat music, and who fought for civil rights and against political corruption in his native country.
Fela was initially going to be a doctor, but decided to be a musician instead, fusing many different styles and the sounds of his native country into what eventually became known as his own distinct and complex style of music, Afrobeat.

Fela first started calling his music Afrobeat in the late sixties, and as his career progressed, his music got more political, much to the chagrin of the Nigerian government, who attacked the commune where Fela lived, destroying his studio, and beating him badly (Fela’s mother was killed during the attack).
But this didn’t quiet Fela or his music, which continued to infuriate the government. Fela also tried to run for President in Nigeria’s first elections in over ten years. When Fela died in 1997, over a million people came to the funeral chanting “Fela will live forever,” and a shrine was built in his honor.
It has been said that hip-hop would not exist without Fela’s music, and he was also described as a combination of James Brown, Muhammad Ali, and Bob Dylan. Eventually Fela’s music was re-released, and several musical shows showcasing his story and life hit the stage (recently a movie from Focus Features about the life of Fela was made for release in 2010).
Fela! was first performed off-Broadway in 2008, and it was a huge success, hitting Broadway the following year, with the help of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jay-Z, and several other producers. The music of Fela has also been provided by Antibalas, a modern nine-piece afrobeat band. Fela! of course also features the incredible legacy of music he left behind, and his musical and political legacy still live on strong.
The Triumph of Fela
The musical Fela! is an incredible explosion of music, color and culture. The website http://www.felaonbroadway.com notes, “Please be advised that Fela! has loud sound effects, smoke and haze effects and strobe effects. “The Broadway experience can be like sitting with blinders on,” the creator of Fela! told Billboard. “This is a show you enjoy as much with your body as with your mind. It’s free and communal.”
Fela! has been nominated for 11 Tony Awards, and has won three: Best Choreography, Best Costume Design for a Musical, and Best Sound Design for a Musical.

ZONGO JUNCTION/ TURKUAZ
Day: Thur, Dec 29, 2011
Zongo Junction embodies the wealth of Brooklyn’s musical diversity, by melding traditional West African rhythms with Funk, Jazz and Soul from the U.S. Heavily influenced by Nigerian superstar, political activist and afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the 13-piece ensemble gets audiences riled up and dancing at every show they put on.
The band was conceived in early 2007 by drummer Charles Ferguson and original keyboardist, Adam Coopersmith while the two attended the New School in New York City. When Charles returned from a six-month trip to Ghana, where he studied African highlife music and traditional xylophone technique, he teamed up with Adam and 11 other musicians to form Zongo Junction. The name comes from the bus stop from which Charles lived off of while living in Accra, Ghana.
The band was well received from the start. Their club debut at Public Assembly (formerly the Galapagos Arts Center) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in July was a huge success, and led to a monthly residency for the duration of the year. Since then, the band has performed at some of New York’s most illustrious venues including the Knitting Factory and Le Poisson Rouge as well as Williams College in Williamstown, MA and the Elbo Room in San Francisco where they played a sold out show the night before New Year’s in 2009.
The core of the band was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been playing music together virtually since they were all still in diapers. Five members of the band were part of the prestigious Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble (alumni include: Joshua Redman, Peter Apfelbaum, Will Bernard, Benny Green) and twice toured Europe. All members moved to New York after High School to attend music programs at The New School and New York University.
Turkuaz is comprised of Brooklyn’s funkiest and brightest. The two founding members, Taylor Shell and Dave Brandwein, met at Berklee College of Music in Boston. As members of the Galaxy Smith Digital Media Collective (Galaxysmith.com) they are now kicking things into high gear with their 8 – 13 piece (depending on the occasion) high energy funk band. Influences range from the Talking Heads to James Brown – P-Funk to Jamiroquai – creating a show which is an eclectic mix of funk influences and sounds from all over the board. When the group takes their party to the stage it certainly is a spectacle to be remembered.

Ise Lyfe
Hometown spoken word and hip-hop artist One night only – Live Band
“Yes No Maybe” by: Ise Lyfe
One of the nation’s greatest young performers and writers performing live at the legendary Yoshi’s Jazz Club. Paying homage and adding his twist to the classic and powerful music of Fela Kuti, Nina Simone, Gil Scott Heron, Tupac Shakur, and Billie Holiday.
“Essentially, these five artist best represent the core of my artistic inspiration and embody a standard of both content and skill that I am always aspiring for. I’m excited to be performing back in myhometown at such a great venue to honor these giants.”
– Ise Lyfe
Recently appointed Commissioner of Arts and Cultural Affairs in his hometown of Oakland, CA, Ise Lyfe is one of the nation’s premier Spoken Word Artist and Emcee’s. His 2006 debut album, ”spreadtheWord” allowed him to mettle with a national audience, and the release of his second LP, “Prince Cometh” received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Unaffected by the sophomore jinx theory, it’s safe to say the response across the board was nearly 100% positive…
Ise first gained national recognition competing in national poetry slam competitions in his late teens. In 2001 he won the National Poetry Slam Competition, skyrocketing his popularity amongst the ever growing Spoken Word/Hip-Hop Theatre audience. He has been featured on Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam on HBO. He has also shared the stage with Gil Scott-Heron, Dave Chappelle, Lauryn Hill, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, E-40, Harry Belafonte, Mos Def, Malcolm Jamaal Werner, KRS-One, Martin Luther, Saul Williams, Ben Harper, Erykah Badu, Zion I, and The Coup to name a few.
However, Ise Lyfe is simply different than anyone else in his genre or league of peers. Period.
Just in his twenties with nearly ten years of national and international stage performing and recording experience, he transcends the common narrative on and off stage. An award winning poet, emcee, performer, and educator, this young man is sure to be the impact we all speak of wanting, but rarely see realized….

The Anunnazi Connection – Part 1/2
“The last world war was not simply a war
fought between the Allies and the Axis It was part of an ancient battlefield of a Galactic
War, with the anunnaki sponsoring the Nazis, and pleiadians on the side of American and
british empire. fought once again for control of planet Earth
…while using its unsuspecting armies as pawns in their interstellar conflict.” The conventional view of the outbreak of World
War II is one in which Germany and Japan just happened to emerge as fascist military superpowers
at the same time, and decided to join forces and take over the entire world! In this view, it was coincidental that Japan
would build an imperial fleet, and become an invincible naval power, and that Germany
would simultaneously develop a fearsome Blitzkrieg capability using coordinated air and ground
forces. Even at face value, this hypothesis seems
absurd to some. Such grand historical coincidences rarely
occur, and usually turn out the result of meticulous, long-range planning; and that
seems to be the case with World War II. Now a growing group of researchers into the
circumstances of Hitler’s rise to power, and the sudden, coordinated emergence of militant
fascism all over the world, see the roots of World War II in an entirely new and even
more disturbing light. Could it have been decided well in advance
at some very high level that Japan would take ever all of Asia and Australia while Germany
and Italy would divide up Europe, Russia and North and South America? Were Spain, South Africa and Argentina – already
fascist dictate part of the alliance? According to researchers in the new school
of thought such a division of effort made perfect sense, since domination of Asia required
control over vast Pacific Ocean areas that only superior naval forces could handle, while
the conquest of the massive continental areas of Europe, Russia and the Americas would necessitate
control of the air and huge, highly mechanized, fast-moving armies. Some are arguing now that there was an invisible
hand behind all of this and, moreover, that it wasn’t earthly. Could it be that for millennia, while we struggled
with swords and bows and arrows, and man-powered naval vessels, the ETs, apparently, paid scant
attention to us; but that with the advent of World War II we became players on the cosmic
stage? Could it be that tor the last three quarters
of a century we have become knowing, active participants in an ongoing galactic conflict? The following scenario, it is argued, is the
once hidden story of World War II. After WWI, at the end of 1919, ex-corporal
Adolph Hitler met Dietrich Eckart in Munich. Eckart was a sophisticated and wealthy publisher
and was editor-in-chief of an antisemitic publication called In Plain German. He was also an occultist in the highest circle
of The Thule Society, an esoteric group founded in Germany in 1918. He had been a student of Russian metaphysician
G.I. Gurdjieff. who i suspect was anunnaki. Because of his admiration for Eckart, Hitler
joined the society. The Thule Society held regular séances during
which the attendees reportedly communicated with demons and attempted to invoke the Anti-Christ. During one such session, Eckart believed that
he was told by his spirit guide that he would have the honor of training the corning Great
One – the incarnation of the Anti-Christ. He soon became convinced that Adolph Hitler
was the chosen one, and he took him under his wing. According to Wulf Schwartzwaller in The Unknown
Hitler, “There can be no doubt that Eckart …trained
Hitler in techniques of self-confidence, self-projection, persuasive oratory, body language and discursive
sophistry.” Using these capabilities Hitler became a powerful
speaker, able to mesmerize and excite vast audiences. He learned to start his speeches softly, and
then build to a peak of pretended frenzied fervor accompanied by animated gesticulations. He also developed a hypnotic power over individuals. Eckart, it is reported, also passed on to
Hitler all of his occult knowledge of ritual and sexual Black Magic. According to Trevor Ravenscroft in The Spear
of Destiny regarding the practices of the Thule Society,
“indulgence in the most sadistic rituals awakened penetrating vision into the workings
of evil intelligences and bestowed phenomenal magical powers.” At the completion of this training, Hitler
claimed to be “born anew” filled with new strength and the resolve he would need
to carry out his “mandate.” Eckhart died three years later in 1923, and
reportedly said on his deathbed, “Follow Hitler. He will dance, but it is I who have called
the tune! I have initiated him into the ‘Secret Doctrine;’
opened his centers of vision and given him the means to communicate with the powers. Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced
history more than any German.” The following year, Hitler dedicated the second
volume of his book, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), to Eckart. Eckart’s claim that he had given to Hitler
“the means to communicate with the powers” has been interpreted to mean that Hitler could
now solicit advice from those same entities that Aleister Crowley referred to as the “secret
chiefs,” since Eckart was basically a disciple of Crowley. who was also anunnaki. Crowley, who was sometimes referred to as
the “great beast,” was the head of the infamous occult organization, Order of the
Golden Dawn, in London. In late 1919, the Thule Society became more
political, and was instrumental in starting the German Workers’ Party under the leadership
of Thulist Karl Harrer. In 1920, this evolved into the National Socialist
German Workers Party, or NSDAP, commonly known as the Nazi Party, drawing its membership
from the top echelons of the Thule Society, including,
Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler,
Alfred Rosenberg, Adolph Hitler,
these great aryan leaders, really, look at these people, none of them have blonde hair
or blue eyes, these people were brainwashed by the anunnaki. and some i suspect were anunnaki
hybrids. In The Gods of Eden, William Bramley says,
“…the Thule was a ‘Society of Assassins’. It held secret courts and condemned people
to death. It is likely that many victims murdered by
the District Command had been condemned earlier in the secret courts of the Thule.” The conception of the swastika flag adopted
by the Nazis is attributed to Dr. Freidrich Krohn, a member of Thule. But Hitler’s occult training was not yet
complete. After the death of Eckart, as if on a schedule,
another even more powerful teacher came into his life. Karl Haushofer was a 54 year old professor
of Political Science at Munich University when Hitler entered jail in 1924. While with German intelligence in Japan before
the war, Haushofer had been initiated into the ultra-secret Green Dragon Society, one
of only three Europeans to have ever been granted that honor. There he was taught how to develop the “mastery
of the etheric body, or the Time Organism.” This training apparently gave him precognitive
powers and he was able to predict the dates and exact times of enemy attacks, the number
of casualties, and bombardment patterns while a general during the war. We now know this as “remote viewing.” Consequently, Haushofer emerged with an illustrious
war record, and became well-known throughout Germany. It was only very reluctantly, that Haushofer
agreed to attend the treason trial, of a street politician named Adolf Hitler in 1923. He finally consented, after much persuasion
by a student at the University, Rudolph Hess. Disinterested at first, by the time Hitler
delivered his final oration in court, Haushofer, like Eckhart, was convinced that he had found
the savior of the German people that he had been seeking. Haushofer subsequently visited Hitler frequently
in his plush cell at the Landsberg Fortress with books and papers under his arm, and helped
him to write what became the bible of the Nazi movement, Mein Kampf, virtually dictating
long passages. Haushofer’s domination of the entire philosophical
basis of the Nazi movement was solidified when he founded the “Luminous Lodge” or
Vril Society in Berlin in 1920. This eventually became the “inner circle”
of the Thule Society, and reportedly attracted members from other occult movements in Europe,
as well as from Tibet, Japan, India, Kashmir, Turkey and Ceylon. Its most inspirational book was “The Coming
Race” by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a story about an underground Utopian civilization where
the inhabitants flew around in silent wingless vehicles, powered by a force called “vril”
– hence the name of the society. Haushofer knew a great deal about life on
Atlantis, almost as though through personal memory. He taught Hitler that the Aryan race was genetically
developed by the “gods” of Atlantis in preparation for the coming disaster, to be
a new “master race” afterwards. He claimed that the Aryans were given higher
consciousness and the faculty of logical thought, instead of just super-memory as with the preceding
sub-races on Atlantis. He convinced Hitler that the “pure” Germans
were descended from this civilization from “Ultima Thule,” sometimes called Hyperborea,
and were meant to be the nucleus of the new master race. Haushofer believed that this race of Aryan
supermen survived the Atlantean upheavals and still existed somewhere underground in
Tibet or the Gobi Desert, and he convinced Hitler to try and make contact with them. From 1926 through 1942, Haushofer organized
annual German expeditions to Tibet. He apparently succeeded in making contact
with an underground civilization in Tibet known in occult literature as “Agartha,”
sometime in the early 1930. It is known that Haushofer met some monks
from this underground city, and enlisted them in the Nazi cause. Some literature on this subject describes
the monks as “adepts of the dark side.” They came to Berlin and set up a community. They were later joined by members of the Japanese
Green Dragon Society, at the invitation of Haushofer. In the secret meetings of the Vril Society,
attended by Haushofer, Hitler, and the key members of the Thule Society, a very talented
medium by the name of Maria Orsic began to get psychic transmissions in an unknown language,
which they were eventually able to decipher. As they continued, it was determined that
the messages were coming from two planets in the Aldeberan system comprising the Sumeran
empire. Aldeberan is a huge star in the Taurus constellation
thousands of time larger than our own sun, about 65 light years from earth. The information channeled by Orsic claimed
that the Sumeran empire consisted of an Aryan or master race, and a subservient slave race,
and that the Aryans colonized our solar system 500 million years ago when the Aldeberan system
became uninhabitable. When they eventually reached earth, they founded
the Sumerian civilization. According to Peter Moon in The Black Sun,
“As they continued to study the transmissions, the Vril Society discovered that the ancient
Sumerian language… was identical to that of the Aldeberans and that it was also similar
to the German language.” Whether or not they materialized in the flesh
in the inner sanctum of the Vril Society, or met with the Nazi leaders in the underground
city through the mediation of the Tibetan monks, there is no doubt that Haushofer and
Hitler, at least, met with the “ubermensch” or “superman.” In a conversation with Hermann Rauschning,
the governor of Danzig, about the possibility of creating a new, advanced species of human
through breeding, Hitler said, as reported by Rauschning,
“The new man is living amongst us now! He is here!” exclaimed Hitler, triumphantly. “Isn’t that enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him.” Samuel Mathers, the founder of the Golden
Dawn, had a similar encounter. In a manifesto to the members in 1896, he
wrote, “As to the secret chiefs with whom I am
in touch and from whom I have received the wisdom of the Second Order… They used to meet me physically at a time
and place fixed in advance. For my part, I believe they are human beings
living on this earth, but possessed of terrible and superhuman powers…. I felt I was in contact with a force so terrible
that I can only compare it to the shock one would receive from being near a flash of lightning
during a great thunderstorm…” Wonder Weapons Could the “secret chiefs” or “supermen”
have been extraterrestrials, perhaps currently living on earth or elsewhere? In light of subsequent developments, such
a conclusion seems not unreasonable. Possibly, because of this contact with Hitler,
the Nazis were to acquire scientific knowledge and weapon technologies far beyond anything
previously seen on earth. The weapons became known as the Wunderwaffe
or “wonder weapons.” This all seems especially remarkable when
it is understood just how much the Nazi inner circle detested science and “book knowledge”
and embraced psychic information and ceremonial magic instead. According to Peter Moon, as early as 1919,
the combined Thule and Vril Societies began work on a time machine which was completed
in 1924 and taken to a hiding place in southern Germany. This early development, it is said, re-surfaced
after the war and was continued thirty years later as “The Montauk Project,” in an
underground base at Montauk Point, Long Island where ex-Nazi scientists were assisted by
extraterrestrials. And it was the Vril Society that reportedly
developed the first anti-gravity craft, the RFZ-1, as early as 1934. The society raised its own funds for this
development by soliciting donations in German newspapers! This first model “crashed and burned,”
but the RFZ2, 60-feet in length, flew quite well and was used as a reconnaissance craft,
and so it came to the attention of SS Chief Himmler. By this time, Hitler was in power and he turned
the anti-gravity development project over to the SS, to develop directly with the Vril
Society. He himself was more interested in conventional
weaponry. By 1939, the SS had developed the RFZ-5, which
was renamed to become the famous Hannebu I – a two-man craft, about 35 feet in diameter
powered by a tachyon type electrogravitation motor called the Kohler Converter. Purported Plans for Hannebu I The motor, it was claimed, converted the earth’s
gravitational energy into electromagnetic power. The Nazis continually improved on the Hannebu
model, culminating in the Hannebu-III late in the war. A huge craft; 200 feet in diameter, the Hannebu-III,
it was said, could reach a speed of 24,000 mph at an altitude of 15,000 feet and could
carry 32 passengers. But strangely, the Germans were never able
to adapt these incredible flying machines to conventional warfare. It is suggested that they couldn’t train the
pilots, and that the craft were not maneuver-able enough to engage fighter planes in dogfights,
and that they couldn’t be used as bombers, although they could easily reach the U.S.
without refueling. The Nazis chose to focus instead on Von Braun’s
robotic-rocketry, believing that they could so frighten the civilian population of London
with their V-2 flying bombs that they could precipitate a mass movement to surrender. As history makes dear, they severely underestimated
the legendary British “stiff upper lip.” The Nazis also pioneered jet powered propulsion. The first jet fighter plane in the world,
the fearsome Messerschmitt ME-262, could easily have turned the tide of the war if it had
lasted several months longer. German scientists were also working on development
of nuclear weapons long before America got into the act. Nuclear fission was discovered in 1938 by
Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin. The Germans were producing heavy water in
Vemork, Norway in 1943 in preparation for using it to refine plutonium. But Hitler and Albert Speer scuttled the program
after chief civilian nuclear scientist Werner Heisenberg failed to sell the project as a
feasible way to win the war. Allied soldiers discovered a uranium-based
nuclear reactor underground in Haigerloch, Germany, Heisenberg’s hometown, and several
thousand pounds of uranium buried nearby. The consensus is that Germany would have developed
the bomb before the US. if it hadn’t been for Hitter’s poor judgment in scientific matters,
and the sabotage and heavy allied bombardments of technological sites, although some think
that Heisenberg, a former protégé of Nobel Prize winning Danish physics Niels Bohr, deliberately
diverted his research away from weaponry.

STORY BEHIND LOGO
THE 4 PILLARS OF LEARNING
The latest school in Kolkata has everything to offer to our parents and children. From a unique four-way learning process based on the system of Nurture (the apple), Inspire (the bulb), Educate (the pen) and Enlighten (the gear) that has been tailored to bring out the potential in every child to a staff of dedicated teachers.
Quality is a natural extension of staff environment, teamwork, innovation, ethical behaviour, pride of our service and integrity.
The apple is a symbol of enlightenment and nurturing. An apple falling on Isaac Newton’s head was responsible for inspiring the Laws of Gravity. An apple has also since time immemorial been the symbol of good health and nourishment. As a school devised to nurture young minds, we chose the apple as one of the four elements of our logo.
The light bulb, the symbol of inspiration. Invented by Thomas Alva Edison, the light bulb today enlightens up millions of lives and has become universally accepted at both physical and metaphysical levels.
The pen is mightier than the sword. It is also the most widely accepted symbol of education and civilisation. The Newtown School therefore believes that it is the most appropriate means for education, which has the power to change lives and create history.
The gear is a tool that moves the world. It is one of the cornerstones of civilisation and represents organisational powers that enable progress.

Volume Month Class Context
Vol.1 April-June Class III-V The First Edition of "Life @ The Newtown School"
The new age school in Kolkata has everything to offer to parents and children. From a unique four-way learning process based on the system of Nurture (the apple), Inspire (the bulb), Educate (the pen) and Enlighten (the gear) that has been tailored to bring out the potential in every child to a staff of dedicated teachers.
Quality thereby has become a natural extension of staff environment, teamwork, innovation, ethical behaviour, pride in our service and integrity.
To foster the creation of an oasis of learning by shaping young minds who seek excellence in every pursuit and innovation in every approach towards life. To provide our students with a learning environment that is future-ready with ample scope for research to hone their creative acumen.
WHAT ’S IN A LOGO?
At The Newtown School (NTS), we believe in substantive meaning and nowhere is this better illustrated than in our logo.
The apple is a symbol of enlightenment and nurturing. It was what spurred Sir Isaac Newton to imagine the force of gravity. Since time immemorial, it has also represented good health and nourishment.
The incandescent bulb, invented by Thomas Edison, has been a symbol of inspiration for at least a century. Giving light to millions of people, today it has come to be universally equated with an idea of metaphysical epiphany.
The pen is surely mightier than the sword. Through the ages of inscription, it has stood for the spread of education and civilisation.
The gear wheel has the ability to move objects, transforming the world into a better place. As a cornerstone of progress, it enhances systems, making them more efficient.
These objects feature in the quadrants of our School’s logo because they stand for ideas that have the power to change the world, enabling, encouraging and enacting dreams and visions into reality.
Discovering New Horizons
The Newtown School is the first IGBC Gold Certified Green School in India under the new school category. We took our first step towards this journey of excellence, on 16th April 2015.
The global technological landscape is evolving at a frenetic pace. Information
travels at a speed hitherto unanticipated, even a decade ago. The Newtown
School (NTS), located amidst one of the fastest economically developing regions of
Eastern India, arrives at precisely this cusp of global transformation.
The school seeks to blend academics with practical knowledge in a unique
ecosystem. This amalgamation will be synchronized with the values, which
will transform each student into an asset for society.
NTS has set a new benchmark in education through its approach towards the entire process of
imparting education.
The curriculum at NTS has been designed to inculcate a multi-dimensional approach in problem solving through teamwork and research. We at NTS believe that every student is unique in terms of creative talent, interests and inclination. Hence, our customised approach towards each student nurtures each child into a confident
individual, capable of coping with the challenges of tomorrow.

SANJAY KUMAR KHEMKA
FOUNDER DIRECTOR, THE NEWTOWN SCHOOL
A leading industrialist, with more than 25 years of experience, Shri Sanjay Kumar Khemka has been instrumental in the success of Aakash Institute in West Bengal as a co-franchisee of Aakash Educational Services (P) Ltd, New Delhi.
His hands-on approach towards operational excellence, combined with an insightful knowledge of various aspects of industry, have earned his ventures the reputation of being a collective force to be reckoned with. He is a visionary with a purpose and serves as a role model for many. The Newtown School is another reflection of his enterprising spirit of aligning demand for transformational education with an institution that goes beyond the call of duty and heralds a paradigm shift in education.
SUNIL AGARWAL
After having established his credentials during his 10 long years of practice as a Chartered Accountant, Shri Sunil Agarwal brought Aakash Institute to West Bengal as a co-franchisee in 2005 with precisely the same ethos, which served as the foundation of his previous career success. He, along with Shri Sanjay Kumar Khemka, acquired the franchise rights from Aakash Educational Services (P) Ltd, New Delhi to set up a network of educational institutions in West Bengal under the brand name Aakash Institute, preparing students for medical and engineering entrance examinations. His execution and organisational skills were put to test and once again he proved his mettle. Gifted with a clear vision, his pragmatic approach has led to Aakash Institute becoming a household name in West Bengal.
The Newtown School is an extension of his dream to equip students from West Bengal with precisely the kind of skills and knowledge which would help them negotiate the challenges posed by a society in the stage of radical transformation.
Dear Parents and Students,
I take immense pride in welcoming you to The Newtown School. We have a mission to develop it into a landmark of transformative learning in West Bengal. This institution envisages fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of countless parents and students who yearn for an institution with a futuristic learning environment that prepares students not just for the challenges faced by society today but for those challenges that are likely to emerge tomorrow.
With its state-of-the-art facilities, NTS leaves no stone unturned in providing a wholesome learning environment for each child. The wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities aims to bring a paradigm shift from the uni-directional flow of communication in the classroom to an interactive environment, which helps in better retention and generates interest in the curriculum. THOUGHT LEADERS
My decade-long experience in the education sector has been instrumental in shaping my goal of fostering a learning environment that encompasses new age learning skills that stretch beyond the walls of the classroom.
We believe that the leaders of tomorrow need to be analytical, creative problem solvers who can adapt comprehensively to any environment however challenging. Therefore the School works to create a system of tutelage, compatible with nurturing future leaders who are well-rounded individuals. The entire team at NTS has dedicated its endeavours towards enabling each child to realise his or her potential through our commitment.

With a rich experience of more than 36 years in a multitude of roles in the most respected schools of Kolkata, Ms Malini Bhagat has been at the forefront in designing and executing the curriculum for primary and secondary classes in a number of institutions.

She has been actively involved in the formulation of processes for standardised content delivery in the classroom by conducting workshops for teachers and administrative staff.
She has undertaken a number of initiatives for a radical transformation of the learning process and overhauling the administrative system in her capacity as the Principal of a respected school in Kolkata. She has been a strong proponent of empowerment of the child through active engagement in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.
At the onset I would take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in our dream and invite you to be a partner in our progress. After having spent more than three decades in the field of education, it is an honour for me to lead an institution which holds so much promise and seeks to recreate an environment of learning which is unparalleled in its approach towards developing a student’s creative acumen with some of the best facilities.
We have sought to create an environment that will not only focus on nurturing academic excellence but also transform each child into a complete personality once the child steps out from the school to seek his or her rightful position in the society.
Looking forward to your continued support and guidance in the future.

She strongly believes in the ability of every individual, especially that of a child. Education to her is about the values and principles that create responsible citizens. To her, teaching has always been a two-directional learning, a fantastic exchange of knowledge, where her students have been the smartest contributors. She has shaped the lives of many a student with her understanding and experience of the process that goes into the wholesome development of an individual.
Innovation has been the differentiating factor for us. Our plan is to constantly introduce new pedagogies in our education system, which will challenge not only our students but also our teachers, in turn driving them to think and act out of the box.
We are committed in our endeavour to provide state-of-the-art facilities and world class infrastructure that provides an ideal and safe environment for teaching and learning.
Dear Parents and Students
The Newtown School ushers you to a future with limitless learning opportunities for every child. As a school, we believe in promoting the academic and social development of all students in a safe and friendly environment, teaching each child to be safe, to be respectful and to be responsible. Having set a benchmark hitherto unknown in the domain of education, we believe in the democracy of learning. The breadth of our curriculum and our wide range of facilities, which can be best compared with international standards, thus allow each child to explore his or her academic, sporting, cultural and personal potential to the fullest.
For our team of able teachers, teaching and learning offer them numerous opportunities to focus on a number of ‘small things’ that culminate over time to produce students who are prepared to do the ‘great things’ of life. We view our parents as equal partners in providing children with meaningful educational experience; thus helping us in our mission to transform each child into a complete personality once the child steps out from the school to seek his or her rightful position in society. I invite you all to join our esteemed family as we work together to best serve our children!

The global technological landscape is evolving at a frenetic pace. Information travels at a speed hitherto unanticipated, even a decade ago. The
Newtown School (NTS), located amidst one of the fastest economically developing regions of Eastern India, has arrived at precisely this cusp of global
THE LANDMARK CAMPUS The Newtown School stands out as a monument of its kind, drawing kudos from the tech-savvy generation of today. It is easily
accessible from almost all major parts of the city, being strategically placed in the New Town area and located at a stone’s throw
from Sector V and 15–20 minutes from the Airport, EM Bypass, VIP Road and Ultadanga.
(see map on the Contact section).
Home to a plethora of IT companies, the New Town area is a hub of economic activity and witness to advancements in
science and technology, with reputed institutions like I.I.T. Kharagpur, and St Xavier’s, Kolkata, slated to open campuses
shortly.
The crisp, ultra-modern design melds with the cutting-edge technology used in various aspects of the architecture of the main
building. Every corner is inter-connected and equipped with the latest in technology, right from the classroom to the
LEARNING IS THE NEW GREEN
The entire team at NTS accords the highest priority to environmental responsibility. NTS is the first IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) certified gold rated green school under the new school category.Attention has been paid to energy conservation through features such as a VRF air conditioning system to comply with green building norms in terms of high EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio), sewerage treatment plant of optimum capacity for recycling human waste, LED lighting system, green compliant roof top flooring and use of AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks in construction of walls. Our responsibility toward Mother Nature forms an integral part of the curriculum and awareness regarding environmental issues will be cultivated amongst our students through assigned projects on topics ranging from soil erosion, global warming and ecological imbalance.
WHEELS OF PROGRESS
The team at NTS is committed to take every instance of its interaction with students very seriously by
paying attention to the minutest detail. This process will start from the moment a child sets out
for school.
A fleet of air-conditioned buses fitted with GPS technology and monitored remotely will ensure that
students from different corners of the city reach the premises securely in maximum possible comfort.
Utmost attention has been paid towards the selection of the team of drivers and caretakers to ensure that
the little minds are alert and in the best of spirits to encounter another day in school.
While we are certain most students will bring a home-cooked lunch to school, canteen facilities
featuring a healthy menu is available for those who are unable to bring their lunch, due to
unavoidable reasons.
CUTTING EDGE EDUCATION
Advances in technology coupled with increased familiarity with technical tools have paved the way
towards new paradigms in teaching and learning. The Newtown School will challenge the established
perception of a classroom with an incredible suit of world class hardware and latest software to take
education digital. The whole objective behind fostering such a learning environment is our belief that
learning should be experiential rather than oratorical.
Digital smart boards with software designed to provide a multi-dimensional view of curricular
concepts is the norm in every classroom. The background software enables teachers to
plan their lessons well in advance using videos, graphic representations from the internet in
conjunction with proprietary material available exclusively for the students of NTS.
The state-of-the-art 3D Lab holds pride of place as complex biological or chemical processes
or natural phenomena can be explained comprehensively through 3-Dimensional videos.
Harnessing world-class technology would not be limited to the classroom.
BRINGING OUT THE GEEK IN EVERY CHILD
Located amidst the Silicon Valley of Eastern India, NTS has richly endowed modern ICT (Information and Communication Technology) Labs to allow every child to express her/himself unrestrained. The Labs have been meticulously planned and equipped with hardware and software that are unmatched in design and updated to the latest version. Junior and Senior sections have respective Labs matched to their skill-sets. In addition to the Computer Labs, to complement their tech education, NTS is one of the first schools in Kolkata to begin operations with a Robotics Lab, the RoboLab, in association with one of the pioneers in the field in India Thinklabs, a company with its roots in I.I.T. Mumbai. Robotics as a field is the culmination of Maths and Science subjects and students experience scientific concepts in action in the "Robolab" when they build robots and programme them using proprietary software designed by the pioneers in the field.
The school has full-fledged labs for Physics, Chemistry and Biology equipped with all
modern facilities and equipment to allow the children to engage in learning through research.The
laboratories have been planned keeping in mind the safety of the students. Well-trained
professionals who can assist and engage children to learn, take care of the operations of
these laboratories. Students are encouraged to work in groups as well as individually to
hone their team building skills. The main advantage of learning in the laboratories is to enable
students to correlate practical and theoretical experiences. The Math Lab provides an
impetus to those students who are fascinated with numbers and will further motivate them to excel
in the subject. Additionally, it enables our students to develop a well rooted foundation in Mathematics.
The English Lab has been designed to add a much-needed edge to the personality of each
child in shaping her/his oratorical skills and inculcating a comprehensive understanding of
BALANCING MIND AND BODY
While we strive to help all students reach their full academic potential, we also recognise that the academic work is only a part of students’ lives and that students who address their physical and mental well-being can better focus on their studies. Sports have been proven to aid concentration.
Our mission of grooming each child comprehensively is evident from the plethora of facilities for a multitude of sports. Students are divided according to our four houses Milton, Newton, Edison or Stephenson—each house having its own motto and a mission to excel in all fields of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Each house is assigned a house warden and a house captain to lead from the front during an academic year.
INCULCATING THE SPIRIT OF RESEARCH & DISCOVERY
Our Resource Centre at NTS is an extended classroom and, through year-round research and discovery, it promote the spirit of learning amongst the students.
There are separate facilities for Junior and Senior Sections. Both the sections have been
planned in accordance with the curricular structure of the students pertaining to that section. Each
section has a vast and updated collection of periodicals, journals, magazines, newsletters,
reference books, DVDs and volumes of encyclopaedia in all formats. The facility is fully
computerised so that students will have access to the library database.
A NEW SHOWCASE FOR POTENTIAL
Every child is gifted and needs a platform to showcase his/her potential to the world and for this, there can be no better place for a child than The Newtown School. Each activity at The Newtown School has its own specially created environment—a dance and music studio equipped to help students with an inclination in these fields to hone their skills in a conducive environment. Sculpture, Art and Drama Rooms will be a part of the amenities available, enabling students to excel in fine arts. Utmost attention will be paid to develop the knowledge seeking and oratorical skills of each student through year round workshops and competitions in Quizzing, Elocution and Public Speaking.
WHERE ART AND CULTURE ADD TO LEARNING
NTS aims to become a Centre for Fine Arts that will expose each student to our rich cultural heritage, giving them an opportunity to excel in the field of their choice.
Dance teachers, acting and elocution coaches work with each child nurturing talent, inculcating confidence and polishing skill sets. The performing arts will be a focal point of our school so that mind and body are perfectly balanced and personalities are groomed to perfection.
The school houses a multi-utility theatre style Auditorium with spacious seating capacity for seminars and events like Orientation ceremonies, Parents’ meets, Cultural and Literary fests, celebration of festivals of State and of National importance.
ACTION AT EVERY STEP
We pride ourselves on our infrastructure, which we sincerely believe will be comparable with the world’s best. Our sports infrastructure has been meticulously planned in consultation with professionals from one of the best companies in their field in India to ensure that students can explore their skills in a particular sport and are motivated to pursue it professionally.
Life at NTS will never be dull thanks to the gigantic air-conditioned indoor sports complex with dedicated facilities for games such as Badminton, Double-Player Squash Complex, Table Tennis and Chess.
SHAPING A SPORTING OASIS
NTS has an international standard Basketball Court with a synthetic playing surface to ensure that students
do not hurt themselves while playing.
Additionally, a state-of-the-art Swimming Pool keeps the students fit and in the best of shape.
The core objective at NTS is to spot talent early and nurture it comprehensively with support and guidance focussing on every aspect required to groom the child into a professional sportsman. Professional Coaches will ensure that no child is left unattended and each is given the backing and encouragement to excel in any sport she/he chooses. They devote attention to every detail right from scheduling of sports time, suggesting the optimum diet for the student to make a career in sports, keeping the facilities updated and relevant in association with the administration and organising tournaments.
The Newtown School believes in the universal ability of music to touch every heart. With a music studio equipped with all the latest facilities and accompaniments, students are taught the fine nuances of music. They are introduced to a variety of musical genres in both the eastern and western traditions. The performing arts are a focal point of our School so that body and mind are perfectly balanced and personalities are groomed to perfection. With dedicated teachers who encourage the children to develop an interest, ability and flair in the musical arts, every opportunity is provided to give the students a complete education in this sphere.
OUR PARTNERS IN PROGRESS

Additionally, in order to help students better understand complex scientific phenomenon and biological processes a state of the art 3-D A.V lab has also been created in association with Educomp.
STEM & Robotics Lab
In partnership with MakersLoft, we have introduced Eastern India’s first Lego STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) & Robotics Lab of international standards for grades 3-9. Lego Education is the world’s best and leading platform for hands-on-learning to nurture creativity and scientific temperament.
Futurite
To take the essence of hands on learning a step further and to engage children into learning and discovery, a 3-D Printing Lab has been set up with the state of the art Ultimaker Pro machine being installed in it, for students of classes III-VIII. The students have two dedicated periods over a week to know and experience the excitement of 3-D Printing.Futurite has provided with an age appropriate curriculum along with the resource persons for the Lab.
With the objective of making learning fun and innovative, and to build a strong technology driven generation, we have set up two i-Pad labs, with 42 i-Pads in each for the children of classes LKG-II. The teachers trained on the Ipads plan, create and deliver lessons on the i-Pads which are projected over the Smart Board for children to understand and comprehend better.
Open Door Assessment
Open Door Assessment is a tool that assesses students’ knowledge on selected topics in Mathematics and Science. The Open Door tests conducted by a team of IIT Mumbai Alumni, evaluate the scientific aptitude of the Middle School scholars. It is a novel step to further the cause of academic excellence. The tests are conducted on OMR sheets which are then scanned online. The reports generated are directly mailed to the parents from the server and are very analytical.
In partnership with Nexus we have introduced Quest, a program that promotes GK and Current Affairs. Through eye-catching visual lessons, we aim to improve awareness on a wide range of topics, while motivating the children to research on interesting facts. Quest is taught through a discussion led interactive approach.
Nexus is a knowledge driven company run by experienced professionals who are also expert quizzers, with an aim to make knowledge fun and interesting for people of all ages.
School Cinema
School Cinema is an innovative concept developed by EduMedia and adopted by The Newtown School. Developed through research and taught using short films, thought-provoking workbooks and activities, this learning module for children, teachers and parents, helps them understand and reaffirm values, attitudes, morals and essential life lessons or life skills. The School Cinema Programme enhances learning in a mode that is enjoyable, memorable and educative. The key message in every film is reinforced by age appropriate activities that are designed with the objective to help children use their senses, build healthy relationships and express themselves in a secure space. This is another tool to help in the development of their multiple intelligence capabilities.
Vedic Maths India
The Maths Club is being run by the Vedic Maths Forum India in order to make Maths fun, interesting and engaging for the students at The Newtown School. Students not only become effortless and quick in their calculations but also develop a solid foundation in Mathematics. Students learn Vedic Maths skills along with solving the Rubik’s cube, Celebrating National Maths Days or a Pi day or simply watching Maths oriented movies and prepare for competitive examinations like Maths Olympiads etc.
Future Fit Gymnastics
Future Fit Gymnastics is India’s largest privately owned Gymnastics Coaching Academy for children. Gymnastics – “mother of all sports” is the best way to put children on path to lifelong fitness. Hence, partnering with The New Town School, Future Fit’s qualified and safety-certified team ensures that children are learning in a fun and safe environment, challenging both their mind and their physical fitness.

A pioneer in the field of development of sports curriculum in schools, EduSports is instrumental in designing the sports and physical education curriculum, customised to various age groups. Each student is given a fitness report card at the end of every term.
Dibyendu Barua Chess Academy
Our Saturday Clubs have been planned with the sole objective that children take up their interests and hobbies with absolute seriousness. Thus for our Chess Club we have joined hands with the Dibyendu Barua Chess Academy to guide our children through the various moves and intricacies of Chess and to build upon their confidence and tact of the game.
I-lead
Our Photography and Movie Club and our Animation Club have generated a wide range of curiosity amongst our children and parents alike. To nurture this curiosity and to extend an experiential and age appropriate curriculum to the children the School has tied up with I-Lead for the faculty and for the technical support in creating a Studio and Work station for the practical learning.

YOUNG ACHIEVERS IN WRO 2018
The world is developing, technology is growing and so is the young generation. Today's youth is turning smarter at a rapid pace and grabbing the best opportunities that life provides them. There is something about the way they look towards life. At a very tender age, they visualize changing the world. They have faith in their ideas and in themselves. That faith is what drives them to work towards every little dream they have. Working on the same philosophy, three of our young students; Anshuman Bhagat of Class VIII A, Aryan Mallick of Class VIII B and Tanish Majumdar of Class VIII D received the First Prize in Kolkata Region World Robot Olympiad 2018 in the Junior High Category. The competition was held in our School on 4th and 5th August 2018 with students from 22 reputed schools participating from the Eastern Region. They have successfully qualified for the National Olympiad 2018.

The Braveheart
‘Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful’.
Real superheroes live in the heart of small children fighting big battles. Our very own Ananda Gopal Ghosal , a student of class VII has been a fighter since birth battling Kabuki Syndrome a congenital disorder, which afflicts one in 10 million. This disorder has caused an irreversible kidney malfunction and the child according to the nephrologist, requires an immediate kidney transplant. He has however, never allowed his physical difficulties to get the better of him and have participated in all our School activities with focussed enthusiasm and zeal. An epitome of extreme mental strength, Ananda is one of our academically promising students as well.
He has received the School’s First Annual Bravery Award on 15th August 2017; an initiative started by our school to recognize and salute the extraordinary grit and resilience in our students in the face of adversity.

The Club’s activities involve several discrete stages, including creating an initial story plot through scriptwriting, which is followed by casting, shooting, sound recording, editing and ultimately screening of the finished product.
Classroom Pre-Primary (Nursery, LKG, UKG)
The pre-primary classrooms are equipped with child-friendly furniture like low detachable tables and low chairs, arranged in groups for optimum interaction and intermingling amongst the children. An air-conditioned environment provides space for comfortable learning. Smart boards equipped with the latest digital content help the children enjoy learning and facilitate interaction. Every classroom has a student capacity of 36 to ensure an appropriate and conducive surrounding.
Classroom- Primary, Middle & Senior School.
The primary, middle & senior school classroom are equipped with age appropriate and ergonomic furniture which provides the students ample space to keep their belongings and comfortable seating throughout the school hours. Every classrooms has a student capacity of 40 to ensure optimum teaching- learning experience. Individual lockers / storage space are provided at this level, keeping in mind their physical comfort, security and safe-keeping of their belongings. ACs and smart boards are integral features of the classroom, providing maximum comfort and integration of knowledge respectively, to accelerate the teaching-learning process.
Classroom- Class-XI
Our Physics, Chemistry and Biology Labs are fully equipped with all modern facilities and equipment to allow children to engage in learning through research. The Labs have been planned keeping the safety of the students in mind. Well-trained professionals assist and engage children, encouraging them to work in groups as well as individually to enable them to correlate practical and theoretical experiences.
The concept of the Language Lab has been integral to the development of linguistic skills wherein the students undergo intensive training in speaking and listening. The primary motive behind such an initiative is to augment the aural and oral comprehension skills of the children through specialised activities in the Lab.
In the Math Lab, the children are encouraged to exercise their practical acumen through the use of age and curriculum specific kits. Additionally, it also helps them to dispel fear of the subject and makes it fun to learn.
The Newtown School is one of the first schools in Kolkata to have a Robotics Lab with Lego kits as well as ample facilities and equipment to accommodate large groups of students. Robotics as a field is a culmination of Math and Science and helps students observe scientific concepts in action when they build robots and programme them using open source software. The students use MacBook Air laptops to enable them to enhance the efficiency of the programmed robots. At present, we have two such Labs.
Digital smartboards with software designed to provide a multidimensional view of curricular concepts are the norm in every classroom. Additionally, the state-of-the art 3D AV Lab holds pride of place as complex biological or chemical processes or natural phenomena are explained comprehensively through 3D videos.
We have two richly endowed and modern Information and Communication Technology Labs to allow students to express themselves without restraint and to prepare them for the future. Meticulously planned and equipped with unmatched hardware and software, updated to their latest versions, the Mac Labs provide children with opportunities to research, create, explore and challenge their abilities and skill sets.
To take the essence of live demonstration a step further and to engage children into learning and discovery, the School has two 3D Printing Labs for the children of Classes III to VIII. They have two dedicated periods over a week to experience the excitement of 3D Printing. They are taught how to design 3D objects and images as well as geometrical images and then print them using a state-of-the-art 3D printer.
iPAD LAB and iPAD CURRICULUM
There are two dedicated iPad Labs at The Newtown School, where children from Classes LKG to II are taken twice a week to foster their thematic, linguistic and numerical concepts through the deft handling of various apps by the children themselves. The facilitators’ instructions are followed to the core, right from knowing the different aspects of the gadgets and handling them, to manoeuvring them, to strengthening their knowledge.
For Classes III to V, structured curriculum delivery and assessments of learning are done through individual deployment of iPads for every child and through the Classroom management app, wherein a teacher has complete knowledge of the understanding and the learning achievements of every child in the class.
We have an iTheatre Animation Studio for our students from Classes LKG to Class II. iTheatre is a novel integrated interactive system for story-creation and multimedia storytelling dedicated to young children. iTheatre is designed as an instrument to support children during all their creative activities: from the preparation of characters and backgrounds, drawn with their chosen technique, to the transformation into digital form and the subsequent creation and sharing of the animation movie, through live story-telling. It emerges from the innovative vision of a collaborative learning environment: an environment to foster the sharing of knowledge and relationships.
The Newtown School believes in the holistic development of a child, which would be incomplete without the development of creative faculties in the children. The Sculpture Studio is an important part of that endeavour, where the children learn to infuse life into clay by making beautiful clay models under expert guidance.
The Art Labs aim at honing the creative talents of the children in a specialised environment, enabling them to excel in fine arts. Here, students are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild and their creativity flow unhindered. We have two such labs for this purpose.
The Newtown School has a specially created environment to train students and hone their inclination in dancing. With an aim to expose each student to our rich cultural heritage, the School’s dance teachers work with each child, nurturing talent, inculcating confidence and polishing poise and performance. Separate dance rooms for Junior and Senior students are there.
QCT is a unique model that interweaves a behaviour management system with a process of personal and social growth. Its premise is that the most effective way to promote positive behaviour and respectful relationships is through working on moral development within a structured Quality Circle Time approach. In contemporary society low self-esteem poses an enormous public health risk. It is usually present from early childhood or adolescence. Research has established a strong correlation between a child’s self-esteem and his/her academic success. Children who feel good about themselves learn more easily and retain information longer. Having Quality Circle Time in a structured and proper manner is essential for this.
SENIOR RESOURCE CENTRES
Our Resource Centres are an extension of the classroom and through year-round research and discovery they promote the spirit of learning amongst the students. Separate facilities exist for Junior and Senior Sections. Both facilities have been planned in accordance with the curriculum of the students pertaining to that section. Each section has a vast and updated collection of periodicals, journals, magazines, newsletters, reference books and volumes of encyclopaedia in all formats. The facility is fully computerised so that students can easily select the books of their choice.
Our state-of-the-art gymnastics arena is equipped with the latest international standard equipment. It provides a world class facility in which trained professionals from Future Fit use modern coaching techniques to ensure that students learn in a fun and safe environment, challenging both their bodies and their minds.
The Newtown School has always considered sports to be an integral part of the curriculum, and this has been well manifested by the new Rooftop Volleyball Court in Block C. The Volleyball Court, which is on state-of-the-art Astro Turf, is of international standards. The court is well protected by a fence all around and is equipped with floodlights to play in the evening.
The Basketball Court too has all the trappings of international standards with the latest modular layout. This, as opposed to the more common cemented turfs, minimises injury to the students. The Court is of internationally accepted size to ensure the students receive proper exposure to the sport.
Another feather in the already well adorned sporting cap of the school is the Football Complex with facilities for 6-a-side football tournaments, complete with dugouts and all the latest amenities, including state-of-the-art astro turf, stands for about 220 students and floodlights to play in the evenings. The Football Complex is a one of a kind feature in the list of firsts that the School has contributed in the field of sports development. The ground is also equipped with a LED display score board and a professional audio system.
State-of-the-art Swimming Pool with advanced water purification technology keeps the students fit and in the best of shape. Swimming improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture. Apart from this, swimming is an excellent life skill for children to learn.
The double player Squash Complex with state-of-the-art equipment and latest facilities provides ample opportunities to the students to polish their skills.
The core objective at The Newtown School is to spot talent early and nurture it comprehensively with support and guidance focusing on every aspect required to groom the child into a professional sportsperson. Professional Coaches ensure that no child is left unattended and each child is given the backing and encouragement to excel in any sport he/she chooses.
The gigantic air-conditioned indoor sports arena provides ample and marvellous opportunities for the students to explore their potential and hone their table tennis skills with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest sporting gear. The tables and other equipment are of a superior standard; robust, easy to use and in compliance with international competition standards with zero compromise on quality and safety.
At The Newtown School, our Badminton facility has a standard size Court with wooden flooring, where trained professionals use modern coaching techniques to bring out the best in the students.
Shooting provides opportunities to students to taste success at the international level. It is a great sport to develop concentration and attention. The Newtown School believes in promoting such sports, which are not that popular but have a lot of scope for the studentsto do well and gain recognition in society. In sync with our thought process, we have an 8 lane 10 metre rifle shooting range in our Indoor Sports Hall. A team of our students are ably trained by the coaches of the Joydeep Karmakar Shooting Academy (JKSA) under the overall supervision of the Ace Olympian Rifle Shooter Mr Joydeep Karmakar himself.
It is our belief that there is nothing better than the laughter of children at play, for which we have provided our tiny- tots of classes Nursery to UKG, the colourful and vibrant play area on the ground floor of Block A, which is fitted with see-saws, slides, swings, make-believe houses, etc for their recreation and physical development. Our children from Classes I and II have access to these fun-filled rides in the state-of-the-art Roof top Play Area. While the junior play area on the ground floor has shock absorbing rubber mats, the junior roof top play area has beautifully laid artificial grass for the safety of the children.
ROOF TOP PLAY AREA
Edusports has been entrusted with the responsibility for planning and executing programmes for the development of the health and physical fitness of students. A pioneer in the field of the development of sports curriculum in schools, EduSports is instrumental in designing the sports and physical education curriculum customised to various age groups. Each student is given a fitness report card at the end of each term.
The Newtown School houses a multi-utility and spacious theatre style auditorium for seminars and events such as Orientation Ceremonies, Parents’ Meets, Cultural and Literary Fests, celebration of festivals of state and national importance.
MULTI- PURPOSE AUDITORIUM
Our new multi-purpose auditorium, in Block C, with a seating capacity of 600 is tastefully fostered, with state-of-the-art acoustical panelling work and a high end audio system. The multipurpose auditorium is well-equipped for activities ranging from school events for students and parents, drama and theatre, exhibitions to indoor sports such as Badminton.
The Seminar Hall at The Newtown School is yet another aesthetic addition to its sprawling building, housing important in-house events such as Teachers’ Orientation, Workshops and Parent Meets.
While most students bring home-cooked lunches to school, canteen facilities featuring a healthy menu are available in the Cafeteria, for those who are unable to bring lunch or are simply looking for a change.
The entire campus and each and every classroom is equipped with continuous CCTV surveillance to ensure the safety and well-being of the students. We have around 500 CCTV cameras in the campus with a surveillance room to monitor them. Regular monitoring by a dedicated safety and security officer, makes the entire process completely transparent, so that any untoward event may be averted.
At The Newtown School, the safety and security of our students is of prime importance to us. Keeping this in mind, we have successfully installed CCTV cameras in all our buses with recording facilities. The cameras have been strategically placed in the front, middle and rear of the buses to ensure maximum coverage and protection.
Surveillance cameras give us the ability to keep the children in check while navigating the route to or from the School. Occurrences like bullying inside the bus can also be monitored through this system.
At The Newtown School we have RFID enabled ID Cards for ensuring the safety of each student. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based ID Cards track students the moment they board or alight the School Bus or enter or leave the School campus. A message is instantly sent to the parents’ registered mobile number that the child has boarded or alighted the School Bus or has entered or left the School campus.
Keeping our commitment of providing the best possible security to our students, we have introduced a chip based escort card for students dispersed via private mode. Students will only be handed over to the parents/guardians after the escort card is validated by our system. In an event where the escort card gets lost, the parents will immediately intimate the school, following which the card would be immediately deactivated by the School. Once the card is deactivated it will become invalid in our system. This mitigates any risk of handing over the child to a stranger in case the escort card falls in his/her hand. This has been implemented till class II.
The myly mobile app keeps parents informed about the curriculum followed in the School, besides keeping them abreast of their child’s activities in the classroom. It is the easiest means for the parents to communicate with the School and acts as a bridge between the two most important stakeholders of the child. There is a regular customisation in the app based on our day-to-day requirement.
Our School Buses are GPS monitored and The Skool Smart mobile app with real time bus tracking features keeps the parents virtually connected to their children. Parents can track the movement of their wards through the app and the location of the buses can be viewed when the trips are active.
Our infirmary is equipped with all the medical facilities required to combat any emergency situation in the School. It is well managed by an experienced and trained nurse. Furthermore, we have our own School Ambulance and an official tie-up with Bhagirathi Neotia Hospital, New Town, in order to take prompt and adequate action against any emergent situation.
PRE-PRIMARY (NURSERY, LKG & UKG)
Nestled in greenery and equipped with an excellent play area, this section is planned as a home away from home for younger children.Here, in an environment conducive to the development of their creativity, they blossom into individuals.
Budding minds are enthused through a combination of formal and informal learning, indoor and outdoor activities such as singing and recitation, reading and writing, games and physical education.They have easy access to the Junior Resource Centre containing the latest selection of children’s books to satisfy their curiosity and to build upon their vocabulary.
The environment has been created to enable the little ones to discover the world around them, to explore their surroundings and, in the process, gradually unfurl their minds. Various avenues for mental,physical and emotional development are available to them in their playground in the form of swings, see-saws, puzzles, block games and an audio-visual facility where they can watch educational films.
Students are not tested formally but their progress is measured gradually through small fun-filled activities over a three term system.

At NTS we have four Houses for different activities:
Newton: Red
Motto: To “Nurture” and value Education.
Edison: Yellow
Motto: To “Inspire” self and society
Milton: Blue
Motto: To “Educate” and empower
Stephenson: Green
Motto: To “Enlighten” the mind and the inner self
The philosophy behind our Houses:
While choosing our Houses we have taken inspiration from our School Logo.
The “apple” associated with health, nourishment and most importantly with Isaac Newton and his laws of Gravity. The light “bulb” associated with energy, enlightenment and Thomas Alva Edison.
The “pen” mightier than the sword and the only instrument in expressing human minds and creativity. John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” is perhaps the best of mankind’s creation. The “gear” symbolising progress and the advancement of the human civilisation towards excellence. George Stephenson, an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830 and renowned as the "Father of Railways",is our inspiration for naming our fourth House.
At NTS, we believe in a healthy mind within a healthy body. That is why we have taken a very serious approach towards sports. While we have provided the various specialised sports facilities, both indoor and outdoor, we have also tied up with the nationally acclaimed “Edusports” in developing a holistic sports curriculum age wise and gender wise which aims at the overall physical fitness of every child.
Moreover we keep a strong faith on the abilities of every child. For us each child is unique in her/his own way, and to take this belief further we have planned our “Saturday Clubs” on every 1st and 3rd Saturdays, for classes III to VII from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm. The only motto behind the Saturday Clubs is to encourage and promote the special and varied interests in every child.
The following are the various Clubs to help explore the inherent talents in our child:
Self Defence Club

Plus at the International Congress for Women Mathematicians
To kick off our ICM adventure, Plus attended the International Conference of Women Mathematicians, which started yesterday in Hyderabad. Women from around the world gathered to present their mathematical work to each other, but mostly to network and exchange experiences. It was great talking to women whose experience as professional mathematicians is quite different from what we're used to in Europe. One Indian delegate told us that the immediate problems facing women are not things like glass ceilings or sexual harrassment, but far more elementary challenges like university departments that don't have toilet facilities for women. Another difference between India and Europe, which we're really jealous of, is the fact that mathematics in India doesn't suffer an image problem. People see it as a solid career foundation which allows people to prove they've got brains, rather than a subject for boring geeks.
You can hear our conversations with conference delegates in our podcast, which also contains conversations with Ulrike Tillmann who's on the ICWM organising committee and Gwenoline Michaud from sponsor Schlumberger.
The day of maths talks was rounded off by a panel discussion on the state of female mathematics around the world. Sylvie Paycha from European Women in Mathematics asked which European country would be best for female mathematcians to work in. The answer is difficult. While the proportion of female mathematicians is higher in the South and East of Europe, women in these countries receive lower wages, have a higher teaching load and less time for research, and enjoy less prestige. In the North and West, opportunities, money and prestige are better, but child care is often scarce and expensive and women who leave their children with carers all day might feel stigmatised. So there's no easy answer.
The situation in India is similar, as Geetha Venkataraman described. Although there are now more female maths undergraduates (a proportion of 40% to 50%) and a high proportion of women teaching maths undergraduates (in some departments over 50%), there seems to be a glass ceiling. You don't actually need a PhD to teach undergrads. The proportion of female maths PhD and those actively persuing research is nowhere near the positive figures for undergraduates.
Delegates from other continents described similarly depressing pictures, though at least in some places trends are pointing upwards. Perhaps the most shocking statistic of the day came from Paraguay: here for every 100 men who can read and write, there are 88 illiterate women! The delegate from Japan, Basabi Charkraborty, reported on improved efforts to achieve gender equality in maths, but for a curious reason: due to Japan's ageing population, the work force is shrinking, so it's been decided that women might actually play a useful role in it.
The overwhelming message of the day was that young female mathematicians need more role models from their own countries and better support structures. These might involve improved child care, but also national female mathematicians' networks, conferences and seminars. Perhaps the fact that the International Confernce for Women Mathematicians is an integral part of this year's ICM is a step in the right direction.
The Chern Medal
Plus has opened its temporary head office in Hyderabad! We're here for the International Conference of Women Mathematicians, starting today, and the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) starting on Thursday. The highlight (apart from Plus' presentation on public engagement with maths) will be the award of the Fields Medals for 2010.
The Fields Medal is the most prestigious prize in mathematics, akin to the Nobel Prize. It is awarded to up to four mathematicians at each ICM, which meets every four years. The prize is awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40 in recognition of their existing work and for the promise of their future achievements. You can read more about the Fields Medal on Plus.
And the Fields medal isn't the only prestigious prize being awarded at the ICM. The Rolf Nevanlinna Prize recognises achievements in mathematical aspects of computer and information science. The Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, which was first awarded at the last congress in 2006, is for outstanding mathematical contributions that have found significant applications outside of mathematics. The first recipient of this prize was the Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Itô, then aged 90, for his development of stochastic analysis. His work has allowed mathematicians to describe Brownian motion — a random motion similar to the one you see when you let a particle float in a liquid or gas. Itô's theory applies also to the size of a population of living organisms, to the frequency of a certain allele within the gene pool of a population, or even more complex biological quantities. It is also now integral to financial trading as it forms the basis of the Black-Scholes formula underlying almost all financial transactions that involve options or futures. (You can read more about the Black-Scholes formula in A risky business: how to price derivatives on Plus.)
This years ICM also sees the inauguration of a new prize, the Chern Medal, for an individual whose accomplishments warrant the highest level of recognition for outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics, regardless of their field or occupation. The medal is in memory of the outstanding Chinese mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern. Plus is looking forward to finding out the winners of all of the prizes at this year's ICM, and more importantly, to learning about their mathematical achievements and how they have contributed to mathematics and society at large.

Maths rows to victory?
Renowned cosmologist and mathematician John D. Barrow has turned his attention to rowing, with intriguing results. As others did before him, Barrow noticed that the force generated by a rower in a boat has two components: one drives the boat forward and one to the side. Since the sideways motion represents wasted effort, rowers should be positioned in the boat so that it is minimised. So what exactly is the ideal positioning of rowers, the ideal rig?
It's a mathematical problem and Barrow has come up with solutions to an idealised version, including a rig that never seems to have been used before in competitive rowing. Last week the New Scientist put Barrow's ideas to the test in a little paddle down the Thames ... you can read about the results on the New Scientist website.
If you'd like to read more of John D. Barrow's work, have a look at his Plus column Outer space.

The Ancestors: Bailey WOOD and Nancy, his wife (392 & 393)
Once you’ve worked your way back to ancestors who lived in America in the late 18th and early 19th century, it becomes more difficult to gather the records to tell their stories. This is the case with most of my paternal 5th great-grandparents.
Difficult does not mean impossible.
Bailey and Nancy WOOD are a set of these 5th great-grandparents. They lived in the counties of Greenbrier, Monroe, and Nicholas in western Virginia (present-day West Virginia) as early as 1781 and as late as 1826. Neither were ever listed by name on a census. Neither left a known marriage record. Neither left a birth or death record.
They were likely born about 1750 in unknown parts. Bailey as will be seen below, died about 1820 while Nancy lived at least until 1826.
Two important records have been found by previous family researchers that help to tell a part of their story. One of these is from 1781 and gives insight into the religion of the family while the other is from 1826 and concerns land owned by Bailey WOOD.
Original Members of the Old Greenbrier Church
On 24 November 1781, the Baptist faith gained a more permanent footing in the Greenbrier region when Pastor John ALDERSON organized the Old Greenbrier Church at Alderson. It was the first Baptist organization west of the Alleghenies and the oldest of any denomination to be established in this section of the country. Its twelve original members were John ALDERSON, Mary ALDERSON, Thomas ALDERSON, John KIPPERS, John SHEPPERD, John SKAGGS, Katherine SKAGGS, Joseph SKAGGS, Lucy SKAGGS, Bailey WOOD, Ann WOOD, and James WOOD.1
Is has been assumed by many WOOD descendants that Ann WOOD who was a charter member of the church was Bailey’s wife. However, an 1826 record names his wife as Nancy WOOD. Were Ann WOOD and Nancy WOOD the same person? To answer this, the record from 1826 needs to be examined.
1826 Indenture
This 1826 indenture is a deed of bargain and sale by the heirs of Bailey WOOD to John ALDERSON.2 For easier reading commas missing in the original have been added to this transcription in red.
This indenture made the 21st day of September one thousand eight hundred and twenty six between James Wood & Polly his wife, Bailey Wood and Lucretia his wife, William Wood & Mary his wife, Richard Skaggs and Susannah his wife, Martin McGraw & Nancy his wife, Samuel McGraw and Elizabeth his wife, Katherine Wood, heirs and legal representatives of Bailey Wood decd and Nancy Wood widow of Bailey Wood decd of the county of Nicholas and state of Virginia of the one part and John Alderson of the County of Monroe and state aforesaid of the other part. Witnesseth that the said heirs & widow of Bailey Wood Decd for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar to them in hand paid the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged have bargained and sold and by these presents do bargain and sell unto the said John Alderson and his heirs a certain tract or parcel of land containing one hundred acres more or less lying on the south side of the Greenbrier river in Monroe County adjoining the lands of William Johnson and James Graham and bounded as followeth.

Teste: Geo. Hutchinson, Jr, CMC
Transcription vs Original Record
Until last week I’d never seen the actual document. On New Year’s Day, I found the original record on FamilySearch. It seemed like a good omen for my genealogy research and a great start for the New Year 2020.
I did my own transcription even though I’ve had a transcript of this indenture for nearly two decades. I received it from a WOOD researcher and descendant, Vernon A. Fox (1924-2002), in an email dated 31 May 2001. My transcription is not 100% the same as the work sent to me by Mr. Fox. Some of the call lines did not match, several words were different, commas had been added, some words were missing, and abbreviated words and symbols had been written out. All of these differences could mean the transcriber was working from a different or less legible copy of the deed.
Narrowing the range for the date of death of Baily WOOD
It has been assumed Bailey WOOD died before 21 September 1826, the date of this indenture. He was not found in the 1810 or 1820 census, i.e. he was not found as a head of household. The 1800 census is lost for Virginia. Bailey did not leave a will in any of the counties he was known to have lived in. No administrative bonds for his estate were found. What other records did he produce which might narrow the range of death?
While checking the catalog at FamilySearch for records in Monroe County, West Virginia, I not only found the above indenture in the Deed Book but also the Land Books, registers in which the tax on land was recorded for each year since Monroe County was formed in 1799.
In the Land Book, I found the 100 acres mentioned in the deed above was taxed from 1810 until 1842. From 1810 to 1819 the owner is listed as Bailey WOOD. From 1821 to 1842 the owner is listed as “Bailey WOOD heirs.” The district in which the land was listed is missing for 1820. How was the landowner listed in 1820? As Bailey WOOD or his heirs? Even with this missing year, the death of Bailey WOOD can be estimated at between 1819-1821 as taxes were paid by him in 1819 and by his heirs in 1821.3
The Heirs and Legal Representatives of Bailey WOOD
Let’s take a look at the heirs and legal representatives. Who were they and when were they married? If their marriage records did not prove Bailey WOOD was their father, would they at least show the individuals were old enough to be children of Bailey and not grandchildren of deceased children?
The indenture shows Bailey WOOD left a widow named Nancy WOOD and the following heirs and legal representatives:
James Wood & Polly his wife
Bailey Wood & Lucretia his wife
William Wood & Mary his wife
Richard Skaggs & Susannah his wife
Martin McGraw & Nancy his wife
Samuel McGraw & Elizabeth his wife
Katherine Wood
Of the heirs who were married, records have been found for of all except Bailey WOOD Jr. and his wife Lucretia SKAGGS. All were performed by John ALDERSON – not unusual as the WOOD family were practicing Baptists and members of Alderson’s Old Greenbrier Church.
Susannah WOOD married Richard SKAGGS on 10 March 1789.4 The marriage entry does not name the parents of either the bride or groom.
William WOOD married Mary Ann McGRAW on 18 June 1800.5, 6, 7 Martin and Margaret McGRAW gave permission for their daughter to marry. John WOOD went bond with William WOOD on this marriage. The identity of John WOOD is unknown.
Nancy WOOD married Martin McGRAW Jr. on 3 May 1806.8 The marriage entry does not name parents of either Nancy or Martin.
Bailey WOOD Jr. married Lucretia SKAGGS, likely before 1807. No marriage record has been found. A similar indenture to the 1826 Wood indenture with heirs was found. This 1841 John SKAGGS heirs to Joshua ELLIS deed of bargain and sale includes Bailey WOOD and wife Lucretia as heirs of John SKAGGS who left a widow Catherine SKAGGS. This couple was two of the charter members of the Baptist church formed by John ALDERSON. This record proves Bailey WOOD Jr.’s wife Lucretia was a SKAGGS, daughter of John SKAGGS and Catherine HICKS.9
James WOOD married Mary HALSTEAD on 26 April 1810.10, 11, 12 Neither the marriage entry nor the bond gives information on the parentage of the bride and groom.
Elizabeth WOOD married Samuel McGRAW on 28 May 1812.13, 14 The marriage bond identifies Bailey WOOD as the father of Elizabeth WOOD.
Bailey WOOD was only identified as the father of Elizabeth, the youngest child who was the last to marry. As all of the other heirs married prior to Elizabeth they cannot be grandchildren and therefore must be children of Bailey WOOD.
As Katherine WOOD was named as an heir in 1826 she must have been of age (21 or older) at the time and born 1805 or earlier. An 1850 census listing for Fayette County was found for one Catherine WOOD age 56 (born abt. 1794) living in a SKAGGS household along with a man named James C. WOOD age 27.15 The two WOOD individuals are alone in a household in 1860. The occupation of the woman is governess but crossed out and replaced by wife even though the age of the man is 30 and the woman 60.16 This was done on several other listings on this census and cannot be reliable. I suspect this could be Bailey’s daughter Katherine and that she had a son out of wedlock. Further research is needed as neither were located in the census after 1860.
Who was Bailey WOOD’s wife?
Was Nancy WOOD named as the widow of Bailey WOOD in the indenture the mother of all of the children?
Bailey acquired 450 acres by grant in Greenbrier County in 1788.17 In 1803 he sold 127 acres of the 450 acres land grant to William GRAHAM.18 The other 323 acres were sold to Robert GWINN by Bailey WOOD and his wife Nancy in 1804.19 Nancy was, therefore, his wife as early as 1804.
Ann WOOD, a charter member of the baptist church (1781), was dismissed from the church on 23 April 1825 as was another woman named Polly WOOD.20 Members were dismissed when they left the church for other parts. As both of these women were dismissed on the same date, it would seem probable that they were from the same family. Polly WOOD could be Mary HALSTEAD, wife of James WOOD. If Polly was Mary, could Ann who had been a member for 44 years be her mother-in-law Nancy?
In 1820 Richard SKAGGS (husband of Susannah WOOD)21, William WOOD22, Martin McGRAW (husband of Mary WOOD)23, and Bailey WOOD Jr. were in Nicholas County. They had all moved to Nicholas County before the census.
James WOOD24 and Samuel McGRAW25 (husband of Elizabeth WOOD) were in Monroe County in 1820. James WOOD would move to Nicholas County by 1830. Samuel McGRAW would be in Greenbrier by 1825.
Only James WOOD’s census listing includes an older woman who could be his mother Nancy and a young woman who could be his single sister Katherine.
These census listings account for all of Bailey’s children and his widow in 1820. If my analysis is correct, Bailey WOOD must have died 1819-1820 after the land tax was recorded for 1819 and before the census was taken in 1820. This would support the assumption that the older woman in James’ household was Bailey’s widow Nancy.
Putting the speculation to rest
I strongly believe Ann and Nancy were used interchangeably by Bailey WOOD’s wife. To date, Nancy’s maiden name is unknown. There are hundreds of family trees on Ancestry that have her listed as Nancy HICKS. The maiden name is undocumented.
I found an old post on the Hicks Surname Forum on Genforum by Kitty Steele Barrera dated October 2006 in which she wrote, “I know that the Nancy Hicks/Bailey Wood connection is tentative because I was the first to make the connection. I posted “Bailey Wood married Nancy Hicks?” and before long, it was all over the internet as a fact.”26 Kitty mentioned in another message in the same forum that she can be blamed for starting the rumor and the Hicks part is pure speculation.
It is pure speculation that Bailey’s wife Nancy was born Nancy HICKS.
Bailey and Nancy’s son William WOOD was my 4th great-grandfather. No record has been found indicating he had a middle initial or a middle name. As with his mother’s maiden name, William has also been given Hicks as a middle name by some unknown person and the mistake has been copied into hundreds of family trees.
The internet is an amazing tool for genealogy research however misinformation grows quickly and is widely spread. In hopes that this post will help clear up some of the misconceptions and encourage descendants of Bailey and Nancy WOOD to find the records to push back another generation.

Time to Pull up Stakes and Move on
William JOHNSON Sr. (1755-1805) and Amy NELSON (1757-1837) were my fifth great-grandparents. I wrote about their son William JOHNSON Jr. (1793-1845) and his wife Nancy Ann SIMS (abt. 1793-1860s) in 2014 during my first year blogging.
I’m reviewing William and Amy’s records and looking into opening some doors which have remained closed mainly due to my not having access to Virginia records from their period. Instead of starting with the earliest records, I’m going to move back into time.
A few weeks ago I wrote about The 1806 Administrator Bond for the Estate of William Johnson Sr. (1755-1805). An inventory of his estate has yet to be found. With the Administrator Bond, we learned William died before 9 April 1806 and likely during the winter of 1805. I have not found a primary or secondary source confirming he died 22 December 1805.1
In the General Index to Deeds of Kanawha County William JOHNSON Sr. wasn’t listed as a grantor nor as a grantee. He was not found on the land tax records of the county. Apparently, he did not acquire land during the seven years he lived in Kanawha County.
David Fridley, my double 6th cousin through William JOHNSON Sr. and Amy NELSON and through James SIMS and his first wife Phebe _____, has been supportive when it comes to researching our common ancestors over the years. We e-met in the days when mailing lists were active on Rootsweb and still keep up via email and Facebook.
David once mentioned two land records he’d abstracted from the deed books of Greenbrier County. He hadn’t noted the book or page number at the time. The deeds indicated William JOHNSON and his wife Amy deeded a total of 150 acres on Lick Run on 25 and 26 June 1798. As this was the last mention of them in Greenbrier County we believe they must have left for Kanawha County around 1798.
At the end of July, I located the deeds David found many years ago while checking into new collections on FamilySearch. The first thing I did was to send David the citations.

Interesting thoughts from David
When I contacted David with the citations he wrote, “Thanks so much for following up with these citations! There’s an awful lot of data I have still from my days decades ago of visiting courthouses that need adequate citation today, and I’m thankful for the increasing amount of digitized records on FamilySearch.”
He further wrote, “It’s also useful to revisit the original documents, since there’s more to be learned from a current perspective, for example noticing that “Eamey E. Jonston” included a middle initial, which I don’t think I’ve seen before.”
I hadn’t noticed the use of the middle initial. When I transcribed the deeds I saw where David thought a middle initial was used. However, I believe it is a scribble and meant to be her mark.
Here are close-ups of the “signatures” on the recorded deeds. I don’t think these are their actual signatures.
“Signatures” on Johnston to Tennis deed (top) and Johnston to Kounts deed (bottom)
Taking a closer look at the names, on the bottom image, it is clearly noted these are their marks. William appears to have signed with an x. The mark copied into the book by the clerk for the second deed (bottom) looks similar to the E in the first name Eamey and likely why David thought she was using a middle initial. I believe Amy’s mark is two close or consecutive circles. It must be noted that Amy’s name was spelled Amey, Eamy, and Eamey in the records above.
David also considered the price paid for the land and sent me a map with the location of the land. He wrote:
I also looked at the neighbors and grantees to see if there might be a family relationship given the very low price William sold his land for, but I’m not finding any right away. The price is a relative pittance compared to what land in the Shenandoah Valley was going for at the same time, but then, this was fairly remote, and I doubt William had any quantity of good bottom land that would make it more valuable. I’m attaching a map I created showing Lick Run in context of Monroe Co. with an inset showing the specific topography of Lick Run. It is a branch of Indian Creek, so the bottom land was only down by the creek. (There is another Lick Run in the SW portion of the county that emptied into Hans Creek, but looking at the other records of Tennis/Keenan/Counts-Koontz, it is apparent it is the Indian Creek one.)
William Tennis resold this land sometime after 1800 and headed to Adams Co., OH (bordering KY on the Ohio River). A list of his transactions (including the one with William) is compiled at https://www.ancestry.com/boards/localities.northam.usa.states.westvirginia.counties.monroe/439/mb.ashx. In this list are a number of land transactions from 26 June 1798 that involved William Tennis and Edward Keenan, some of which were also witnessed by John Johnson (doesn’t appear as Johnston), and one by a Thos Johnson. I wonder if either is related.
Map courtesy of David Fridley.
David refers to the land being in Monroe County. He is correct in terms of present-day geography. When William and Amy sold it in 1798 it was in the part of Greenbrier which would become Monroe County the following year.
With the sale of the land in Greenbrier County in 1798, the family of William JOHNSON and Amy NELSON were getting ready for their northwest move to Kanawha County where William died in 1805.
Next week will take us further back when I discuss how William JOHNSON came into the 150 acres he and his wife sold in 1798.

Slave Name Roll Project: RELEASING: Evaline (formerly seen as Evoline)
In Slave Name Roll Project: RELEASING: Henry, a Slave in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia, the slaveholder of the enslaved Henry was John S. Roberts as seen in an appraisement bill from 1832. The research continued with Slave Name Roll Project: RELEASING: Violate, Evoline, and Samuel in which I found the 1835 Appraisement of the Estate of Nathaniel Landcraft, father-in-law of John S. Roberts.
About the time Nathaniel Landcraft died, his daughter Adaline, widow of John S. Roberts, married the Baptist minister Edwin W. Woodson. They made their home in Monroe County, (West) Virginia. In 1840 Woodson had two slaves in his household, a male and a female, both were 10 thru 23 years old. Could either of them be one of the slaves mentioned in the Landcraft appraisement?
In 1850 E W Woodson owned one female slave age 20. In 1860 Adaline Woodson owned one female slave age 30. Who was this female slave?
Edwin W. Woodson died on 14 May 1853 leaving a will and an appraisement which named the enslaved person, Evaline.

An appraisment of the Estate of E. W. Woodson decd was returned & ordered to be recorded
A Copy Teste Geo W. Hutchinson CMC
Fiduciary Records
I do not normally go to Ancestry to check on wills etc. for West Virginia as they are on FamilySearch. In this case I discoved fiduciary records for the estate of Edwin W. Woodson which included 200 images in the West Virginia, Wills and Probate Records, 1724-1985 database.
I only skimmed through the images until I found this record which shows Evaline was included in the personal property which went to the widow Adaline B. Woodson.

Received from G. C. Landcraft Exr. of E. W. Woodson decd., as of the 29th day of July 1853, nine hundred and forty one dollars & 46 cents, in personal property belonging to the estate of said E. W. Woodson decd. at its appreaised value. The above includes one negro girl named Evaline, appraised at $600.00.
Given under my hand this 25 day of April 1873
A.B. Woodson Widow of
E. W. Woodson decd.
Evaline was most likely the young girl Evoline mentioned in Landcraft’s appraisement in 1835. By 1870 she would have been about 40 years old (1850 age 20 and 1860 age 30 as seen in the slave schedules). I was not able to locate her in the 1870 census but hope that by releasing her name a descendant may recognize her, make the connection, and leave a comment.
Following my three part series on the slaves of my 5th great grandfather James Sims during Black History Month in February 2015 I made a commitment to write a post on a monthly basis until I’ve RELEASED all of the names of slaves owned by my ancestors or owned by persons I’ve researched who were relatives or neighbors of my ancestors.
These posts are part of the Slave Name Roll Project (About the Project) administered by Schalene Jennings Dagutis who also blogs at Tangled Roots and Trees.

This is entry #36 in Amy Johnson Crow’s Challenge: 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.
I’m a bit behind on this week’s entry. Setting up my new laptop is taking me longer than I thought. And there are other things in my life that have priority – spending time with my husband and children, keeping myself healthy (310 kilometers/11+ hours on my bike since the 1st of the month), and creating memories.
William JOHNSON Sr. (1755-1805) and Amy NELSON (1757-1837) married about 1774. Most family trees have their place of marriage as Bath County in Virginia but I cannot agree with this.
As is the case with all research in old Virginia, the county formations need to be considered. Bath County was created in 1790 from parts of Augusta, Botetourt, and Greenbrier counties. Greenbrier was formed in 1778 from Botetourt and Montgomery counties. Botetourt County was established in 1770 from Augusta County. The marriage of William and Amy most likely took place in the area of Botetourt County that later went to Greenbrier or in Augusta County where the Johnston families lived. As this is a portrait of William JOHNSON Jr., I will go into the Johnston connection in Augusta County in a later post.
William and Amy were the parents of at least 8 known children, one of them being my fourth great-grandfather William JOHNSON (1793-1845) born about 1793 on Lick Run, Greenbrier County in old Virginia, now West Virginia.
William’s oldest brother Rev. John Brown JOHNSON was born in 1777 in Botetourt or Augusta County. Their father may have been away from home for long periods of time due to his military service during the Revolutionary War (1775-1784). In any case, the next child Nelson JOHNSON was born about 1782. In Laidley’s 1911 History1 Nelson is named as one of the four sons of William JOHNSON Sr. Other sources2 have him listed as the son of Benjamin JOHNSON.
In a biography of Julian M. Johnson, grandson of William Jr., William Sr. moved to what is now Monroe County, West Virginia, after the end of the Revolutionary War and lived there a number of years.
New records brought to light by Wayne L. Johnson, a direct descendant of William Jr., may prove that William Sr. was actually in the area when Greenbrier County was formed in 1778.3 This would mean that John B. and Nelson were born “in the Sinks” as the JOHNSONs were there in 1784:4
“Among the people who were living in the Sinks at the close of the Revolution were several Methodist families. Among these were the Blantons, the Christys, the Johnsons, and the Warrens. They held religious meetings at their homes, and as their membership was growing, they organized a regular society late in the summer of 1784. This date, it will be observed, is also that of the independence of the Methodist Church.”
James M. (1783-1834), Susannah* (1784-1840), Mary “Polly” (1790-1850), my 4th great-grandfather William (1793-1845), and Nancy (1794-1825) were born on Lick Run then part of Greenbrier County.
Between 1795 and 1798 the JOHNSON family moved to Peters Creek, at the time in Kanawha County, where William Sr. patented 500 acres. He settled and remained there for the rest of his life. Amy (1795-1859) may have been the first child to be born on Peters Creek which would become part of Nicholas County when the county was formed in 1818.5
“The murder of one individual or a dozen families did not deter the sturdy pioneer from his onward march in the conquest of the wilderness, and accordingly, before a year has passed after the destruction of Kelly’s settlement, we find Leonard and William Morris both residing almost in sight of the fatal spot. Their settlement is elsewhere noticed [pg. 58, Kelly was killed in early 1773]. Among those who here found homes and become actual settlers in the next few years were John Hansford, Sr., Thomas Foster, Ransom Gatewood, Robert Perry, John Jarrett, John D. Massey, Gallatin G. Hansford, William Johnson, John Wheeler, Shadrach Childers, Peter Likens, Spencer Hill, William Pryor, Barney Green, Thomas Trigg and Shadrach Hariman.”
Two land records extracted from the deed books of Greenbrier County many years ago by David Fridley (who did not note the book or page on these). They would indicate that William and Amy left for Kanawha around 1798 selling a total of 238 acres:
25 June 1798. William Johnson and Amy deeded out 150 acres Lick Run. Witn: John Johnston
26 June 1798. William Johnson and Amy sold 88 acres Lick Run. Witn: John Johnston, et al.
This matches a statement in the biography of Julian M. Johnson by Laidley:6
“Then he and his sons, William, John, Nelson and James, moved to Gauley River in what is now Nicholas County, WV, near and below the mouth of Little Elk about 1798.”
William’s youngest sister Elizabeth (1799-1840) was born the year after the family moved to Kanawha County.
*At the turn of the century William’s sister Susannah JOHNSON was the first to marry. She married Martin SIMS (1783-1853) on 28 March 18007 in Greenbrier County. The permission slip for Susannah’s marriage was signed by her father William JOHNSON. I don’t have a copy of this document however Tim Spradling has put it on his list for his trip to the courthouse this fall. A comparison of the signature on the permission slip with other signatures found for William Sr. will help to determine if this young lady was the daughter of our William JOHNSON Sr. or the William JOHNSTON who died and left a will in 1803 in Greenbrier County. The will mentions his four oldest children James, Polly, Samuel and Sally, and his younger sons William, George, John, and Andrew. There is no mention of a daughter Susannah.

William’s brother John Brown JOHNSON married Elizabeth SIMS (1782-1845), sister of the above mentioned Martin SIMS, on 2 June 18028 in Kanawha County.
These would be the only two marriages of his children that William JOHNSON Sr. would live to see. William died 22 December 1805 and was buried near Swiss in present-day Nicholas County, West Virginia.
Following their father’s death, the children lived with their mother Amy until one by one they married and started their own families. Mary “Polly” married Benjamin DARLINGTON (1775-1853) on 23 April 1810 in Kanawha County and was with her new husband when the 1810 census was enumerated. Amy was with her single children and close to son John and daughter Susannah who had married SIMS siblings.

During the time our nation was at war (War of 1812), William and his two unmarried brothers married.
James M. JOHNSON married Elizabeth MILLER ( -1823) on 29 April 1813 in Kanawha County, (West) Virginia
Nelson JOHNSON married Nancy MURPHY in 1813 in Kanawha County
William JOHNSON married Nancy Ann SIMS on 15 October 1814 in Kanawha County.
Soon after William married my 4th great-grandmother Nancy Ann SIMS, sister of Martin and Elizabeth SIMS mentioned earlier, their first child Nelson JOHNSON (1815-1855) was born about 1815 in Kanawha County. In all records found for Nelson, I have only seen “Nelson” as his first name. Denise Jackson of “Our Family Heritage” is a great-great-granddaughter of this son. Family lore is that his full name was Joseph Nelson JOHNSON and his grandson Joseph Nelson “JN” JOHNSON was named after him. On 9 May 2014 she wrote “It is only word of mouth about JN’s grandfather being Joseph Nelson Johnson and he (JN) being named for him” in response to my email to her about the full name. Before replying she checked with two of her cousins, sons of her father’s sister, and her two brothers as she said, “I wanted to check with all of them to make sure I had heard (and remembered) correctly.” They confirmed that she was right about the family lore.
William JOHNSON Jr. and his family originally lived at the mouth of Laurel Creek, a tributary of the Gauley River which empties about one mile above Swiss. In 1810 the JOHNSON and SIMS families were neighbors and it is known that James SIMS, father of Nancy Ann SIMS, made his home at Swiss. William’s son John Brown JOHNSON was born at the mouth of Rich Creek on Gauley in 1823 per the 1911 biography of his son Julian M. JOHNSON. This would have been in the area of Swiss. Later, most likely after 1823, the JOHNSON family moved to a place on Loop Creek (Loup Creek) in the area of what is known as Robson in present-day Fayette County, West Virginia.
“Loop Creek flows for its entire length in western Fayette County. It rises in the city of Oak Hill and flows initially west-northwestward through the unincorporated communities of Lick Fork, Wriston, Ingram Branch, and Hamilton; then northward through the unincorporated communities of Kincaid, Page, North Page, and Robson, to Deep Water, where it flows into the Kanawha River.” [Source: Wikipedia]
Before William and Nancy’s next child was born two of his sisters married brothers in Kanawha County: Nancy JOHNSON married Peyton FOSTER (1793- ) on 11 January 1815 and Amy JOHNSON married Turley FOSTER (1794-1859) on 16 November / 18 November 1816.
And William’s family continued to grow with the birth of my third great-grandmother Huldah JOHNSON (1817-1880) about 1817 and Alexander JOHNSON (1819-1887) on 10 June 1819.
The 1820 and 1830 census were enumerated in alphabetical order rather than in order of household visitation. This makes it less useful for locating the actual place that the family lived.
The family was in Nicholas County in 1820 and then next seen in Kanawha County in the 1830 census which supports the theory that their move to Loop Creek was in the 1820s, most likely between 1824-1830. Robson is 10 miles south of present-day Gauley Bridge. Fayette County was created on 28 February 1831 from parts of Greenbrier, Kanawha, Nicholas, and Logan counties. From then on William’s children were born on Loop Creek in Fayette County where they were seen in the 1840 census.

Following the enumeration of the 1820 census, William’s fourth child Mary JOHNSON (1820-1898) was born on 20 August 1820.
William’s sister Elizabeth JOHNSON married Presley FOSTER (1798-1873), a brother of Turley and Peyton FOSTER, on 12 March 1822 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia, and his brother James M. JOHNSON, recently widowed, married(2) Sarah LEGG (1795- ) on 6 March 1823 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia.
Shortly before Christmas in 1823 another son, John Brown JOHNSON (1823-1902), was born on 23 December 1823. The family was very fond of this name!
The first of William’s siblings, Nancy (Johnson) FOSTER died before 6 September 1825 leaving only one known child, a son she named Johnson FOSTER.
Nancy gave William three more children before the 1830 census: Amy JOHNSON (1825-1904) on 4 November 1825, Lewis JOHNSON (1828-1845) on 6 March 1828, and Elizabeth JOHNSON (1829-1833) about 1829.

In William’s household, we see an older woman in his household. This must be his mother as family tradition is that she lived among her children until her death.
William’s family was not yet complete: William Hunter JOHNSON (1832-1899) was born 27 July 1832, Nancy JOHNSON (1835-1915) was born in August 1835. Sadly, young Elizabeth, about 4 years old, died about 1833 of the flux.
A year later William’s brother James M. JOHNSON died in 1834 on Loop Creek, Fayette County, (West) Virginia.
William’s oldest child Nelson JOHNSON married Elizabeth HUGHES (1817-1900) on 14 September 1837 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia.
Sadly there would be another death in the family during the 1830s. William’s elderly mother Amy NELSON died on 23 December 1837 in Robson, Fayette County, (West) Virginia, and was buried in Nichols Cemetery on Loop Creek also seen as Nichols Hollow Cemetery, Robson. From the writings of Laura Blake, a local historian:
Courtesy of Gary Johnston (Facebook message dated 1 May 2013)
“Amie Nelson Johnson lived among her children after coming to Loup Creek but her last days were at the home of her son William, whose home was near that of Mutt Ellis. This was very close to the cemetery known then as the Kelly grave yard but now called the Nuchils cemetery. This is a beautiful location for a cemetery. In a row in this cemetery is the grave of William and Nancy Simms Johnson, two children, and the mother Amie Nelson Johnson. William and Nancy died around 1845 during a typhoid fever epidemic. Afterwards, most of his family went to Kanawha County to an area called the Grape Vine, near Charleston.”
Unfortunately, Laura Blake did not get all the fact correct in the above statement. William’s wife Nancy SIMS did not die around 1845 during a typhoid fever epidemic. She was seen living with her son William Hunter JOHNSON in Kanawha County in 1860.
After his mother’s death, William’s wife Nancy gave him his last child Morris Houston JOHNSON (1839-1845) on 21 January 1839 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia.
William’s daughter Mary JOHNSON married David Alexander MILLER (1820-1871) on 13 December 18399 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia.
William’s sisters Elizabeth FOSTER and Susannah SIMS died before the 1840 census.

William and Nancy’s oldest daughter Huldah JOHNSON married Robert INGRAM (1819-1902) about 1841 in Fayette County (West) Virginia.
In 1845 during an epidemic of typhoid fever, three members of the family died.
William’s sons died within three weeks of each other: Morris Houston JOHNSON died 11 August 1845 and Lewis JOHNSON died 31 August 1845.
William JOHNSON followed his sons on 18 December 1845. They are all buried in the Nichols Cemetery in Fayette County.

52 Ancestors: #35 Margaret KINCAID abt. 1794-abt. 1865
Margaret KINCAID was my four times great-grandmother. Although many family researchers have her nicknamed Peggy, I haven’t seen any document with this name and cannot bring myself to refer to her as “Peggy.” Margaret was the daughter of John KINCAID (1760-1834) and Elizabeth Hannah GILLESPIE (1760-1829). Her parents were both born the year George III became the King of England.
John KINCAID and Elizabeth Hannah GILLESPIE married on 11 February 1782 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia by John ALDERSON. This was towards the end of the American Revolutionary War (19 Apr 1775-14 Jan 1784) and in the middle of the little over one year that John served his country: 6 or 7 months from February 1781, 3 months from September 1782, and 3 months in the summer of 1783.
Court Records Prove A Lot of the Children, In-Laws and Outlaws
While visiting West Virginia in June 2007, Linda Crowder Perdue found the “micro film for the Kanawha County Court Records in which the case against John Kincaid and Matthew Kincaid for burning down the bridge across the Gauley River in July 1826 is recorded.”
Gauley River Bridge Burning (part 1)
At a Court held for Kanawha County at the court house thereof on Monday the 24th day of July 1826 for the examination of Matthew Kincaid and John Kincaid who have charged with having on the 11th of July 1826 feloniously burned the bridge across the Gauley River.
This wonderful find included the names of witnesses called for the defendants, Margaret’s brother Matthew and her father John, and for the Commonwealth. The persons listed, as Sarah Kincaid so aptly wrote, prove some relationships in the KINCAID family including in-laws and outlaws.
Update as of 1 January 2020: Since this post was written five years ago, the content from the old archives of Rootsweb’s mailing lists has been imported into new archives. The links to the Kincaid Mailing List (kincaid@rootsweb.com) for the posts made by Linda Perdue and Sarah Kincaid have been updated. Thank you to one of my cousins/readers for bringing the broken links to my attention.
Who Were Margaret’s Siblings?
I needed help on this question. Who better to ask than Linda who found the court records. I had one or two persons who were not correct and a couple of siblings were missing. At the present time, with the research that has been done so far, this is, I believe, a reliable list although I question the estimated birth of son Samuel.
John KINCAID and Elizabeth Hannah GILLESPIE were the parents of the following children, all born in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia:
Sarah “Sallie” KINCAID (1783- ) born about 1782
Hannah KINCAID (1783- ) born about 1783
Matthew KINCAID (1785-1857) born about 1785
Samuel KINCAID (1787- ) born between 1787-1791 [or about 1802??]
James Gillespie KINCAID (1792-1852) born 19 December 1792
Elizabeth “Betsey” KINCAID (1793-1850) born 2 December 1793
Margaret “Peggy” KINCAID (1793-1865) born about 1794
Virginia Jane Vance KINCAID (1795-1870) born about 1795
Nancy KINCAID (1801-aft 1880) born about 1801
Magdaline “Lina” KINCAID (1806-1876) born 7 March 1806
Lanty KINCAID (1806- ) born 7 March 1806
Marriages of Margaret’s Siblings
In 1798 when Margaret was about four years old her two oldest sisters married, Sarah in October and Hannah in December. They appear to have been very close in age but not yet of age as their father signed permission slips for both. It is not known if they were twins like Lina and Lanty.
Sarah “Sallie” KINCAID married Thomas Alexander TERRY ( -1839) on 23 Oct 1798 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia
Hannah KINCAID married James M. WALKER on 13 December 1798 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia
Matthew KINCAID married Mary “Polly” MURDOCK (1788-1839) on 2 Jun 1807 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia
Samuel KINCAID married Elizabeth “Betsy” WALKER ( – ) 26 Apr 1809 ?? – I have a problem with this one as I found a marriage for a couple with the same names in Kanawha County on 26 September 1826. This could be a match with Samuel Kincaid b. abt. 1802 who is seen in the 1850 census in Fayette County with two children Mary and Alex. Is there a document that proves that Samuel who married Elizabeth Walker was the son of John and Elizabeth?
Margaret “Peggy” KINCAID married James INGRAM on 24 October 1809 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia
James Gillespie KINCAID married Mary “Molly” Magdalene TRITT (1792-1869) on 17 December 1809 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia. No marriage record found.
Virginia Jane Vance KINCAID married William “Moccasin Bill” KINCAID (1787-1870) on 20 November 1810 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia
Elizabeth “Betsey” KINCAID married(1) Samuel LINEGAR (1789- ) about 1810. No marriage record found.
Magdaline “Lina” KINCAID married Reuben WYATT (1796-1853) on 25 June 1823 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia
Elizabeth “Betsey” KINCAID married(2) Squire James STURGEON (1785- ) before 1823. No marriage record found.
Nancy KINCAID married Thomas HUGHES (1778-1853) on 24 February 1825 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia
Lanty KINCAID married Nancy FLANAGAN (1802- ) on 25 December 1827 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia
Margaret’s Life With/Without James INGRAM
Margaret “Peggy” KINCAID married James INGRAM on 24 October 1809 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia. She was only 15 at the time of her marriage (1850 age 56) and James, her groom, was more than twice her age, about 35 years old (1860 age 86).
In 1810 when the census was taken Margaret and James were most likely in their own household and not yet parents. Greenbrier is one of the counties that were “lost”. We see James INGRAM as head of household in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 census with his wife Margaret and children:

They were the parents of ten children. He died on 12 July 1900 in Sissonville, Kanawha County, West Virginia, and was buried in Pauley Cemetery on Little Sandy in Elk District in Kanawha County.
Ch 7: Cynthia INGRAM (1828-1910) was born on 25 March 1828 in (West) Virginia. Cynthia married John B. “Johnny” TINCHER (1815-1890) on 23 March 1851 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia. They were the parents of six children. She died on 3 May 1910 and was buried in Carter Cemetery, Dempsey, Fayette County, West Virginia.
Ch 8: Ruth INGRAM (1832-1880) was born about 1832 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia. Ruth married John Johnson DARLINGTON (1826-1900) on 9 January 1851 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia. They were the parents of a dozen children. She died between 1880-1900.
Other Events in the Life of Margaret
In 1826 while Margaret was raising her family, her husband James INGRAM was one of the persons who had to make a personal appearance to give evidence at the trial of his father-in-law John and his brother-in-law Matthew. They were on trial for the 11 July 1826 burning of the first bridge built across the Gauley River.
Following the trial Margaret’s sister Hannah and her husband James WALKER moved from Kanawha County in (West) Virginia to Darke County, Ohio. The move must have been soon after Hannah was a witness for the trial and before 1830. In a biographical sketch of their son-in-law Samuel LITTON we see that the WALKERs, Hannah and James, moved to Adams County, Indiana, in 1850 where they died in 1871.
Margaret’s mother Elizabeth Hannah GILLESPIE died in 1829 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia.
Margaret’s youngest brother Lanty KINCAID, who was last seen in a land deed dated 1832, disappeared around this time. The search for him has been hampered by another Lanty KINCAID of approximately the same age who lived in Greenbrier and Fayette counties. This second Lanty left a few more records which prove that he was the son of Lancelot “Lanty” KINCAID and Catherine SCOTT.
Margaret’s father John KINCAID applied for the pension due him for his service during the Revolutionary War. He appeared in the court of Fayette County on the 15th day of February 1834 to give his statement about service rendered. His death is not mentioned in the pension papers and is estimated at after 15 February 1834.
Margaret’s sister Elizabeth STURGEON was most likely the first of her siblings to pass away about 1850. This is assuming that her youngest brother Lanty did not die between 1832-1850.
In 1850 Margaret had her own household while her husband James INGRAM was living in the household of John TINCHER who would become his son-in-law in less than a year.
1850 U.S. Federal Census > WV > Fayette > HH #462-462 [ancestry.com]
In the 1850s Margaret lost two brothers and a sister. James Gillespie KINCAID died on 1 July 1852 in Kincaid, Fayette County, (West) Virginia. Matthew KINCAID died after 1857, possibly in Missouri. Sarah TERRY died between 1850 and 1860.
In 1860 Margaret was not found in the census. Her children were married and had their own households. Her husband James INGRAM was listed alone in a household. There are two family traditions concerning the deaths of Margaret and James. One being that James moved to Sissonville to live with their son Matthew after Margaret died. The other is that James died first and Margaret lived with her nephew James Gillespie KINCAID Jr. until her death several years later. The year 1865 seems to be the pivot point as Margaret’s husband James is said to have died in the fall of 1865.
Margaret’s surviving siblings were Virginia Jane Vance KINCAID who died after 1870; Hannah WALKER died in 1871 in Adams County, Indiana; Magdaline “Lina” WYATT died 21 July 1876 in Lawrence County, Ohio; and Nancy HUGHES died after the 1880 census. Her brothers Samuel and Lanty KINCAID, whose whereabouts remain a mystery (for now), may have also survived her.

52 Ancestors: #33 Rachel WISEMAN 1769-bet. 1821-1824
My 4th great-grandmother Rachel WISEMAN was born on 1 March 1769 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. She was the 6th child of Isaac WISEMAN (1738-1818) and Elizabeth DAVIS (1738-1807).
Isaac WISEMAN and Elizabeth DAVIS, both born in August 1738 in Berks County, were married about 1758, most likely in that county. They were the parents of 11 known children all born in Berks County, Pennsylvania:
Joseph D. (1759-1836) born 29 Mar 1759
John (1760-1842) born 18 Aug 1760
Sarah (1762-aft. 1841) born 17 Jul 1762
Isaac (1764-1852) born 19 Jun 1764
Jacob (1767-1839) born 12 Jan 1767
Rachel (1769-bef. 1824) born 1 Mar 1769
Samuel (1771-1861) born 15 Feb 1771
Abner (1772-1830) born abt. 1772
Elizabeth (1774-1830s) born abt. 1774
Margaret (1777-1869) born abt. 1777
William (1779-1842) born 6 May 1779
WISEMAN Family and the American Revolutionary War
Rachel was six when the American Revolutionary War began on 19 April 1775. By this time Isaac and Elizabeth had nine children aged between 1 and 16.
In August 1776 Rachel’s oldest brother Joseph D. WISEMAN was drafted in the first militia that went out of Berks County. This was only the beginning as can be seen in the declaration of service given by Joseph D. WISEMAN in 1832 at the age of 73 to obtain his Revolutionary War pension. His pension file includes the family records that his son Samuel submitted in 1847 when he applied for pension money on behalf of himself and his siblings as their parents were both deceased. These papers show the dates of birth and death of Rachel’s parents Isaac WISEMAN and Elizabeth DAVIS.
Elisabeth Wiseman daughter to Samuel Davis was born August 26th, 1838 and died July 19th, 1807.
Isaac Wiseman son to Isaac and Nancy Wiseman was born August 18, 1738 and died May the 3 in 1818.
WISEMAN Family Moves from Pennsylvania to Virginia
Family tradition is that Isaac and his brood, both married and single, left Berks County, Pennsylvania, and went up the Shenandoah Valley to Rockingham County, Virginia. In his declaration, Joseph states that he lived in Rockingham County, Virginia, about 10 years before moving in 1794 to Greenbrier County [the area which would later be Monroe County, West Virginia].
By the end of the war on 14 January 1784 the family had increased to 11 children, the oldest son Joseph and the oldest daughter Sarah were married. The marriage record for Sarah shows that she married on 3 November 1782 in Rockingham County. This would suggest that the WISEMANs made their move in 1782 [or earlier] and Joseph may have followed them only after he married his second wife.

Rachel WISEMAN Marries Frederick HONAKER
As seen above the marriage of Rachel WISEMAN and Frederick HONAKER took place in 1795 in Rockingham County and the marriage bond was recorded in Shenandoah County as follows:
Know all men, by their presents, that we Frederick Conickor and Isaac Wiseman are held and firmly bound unto his Excellency Robert Brooke, Esquire, Governor of Virginia, and his Successors, in the sum of one hundred fifty dollars to the payment whereof, well and truly to be made, we do bind ourselves, our heirs, and each of our joint and several heirs, executors and administrators, jointly and severally firmly by their presence, felled with our feats, and dated the 24th day of September 1795 in the 24th year of the Commonwealth. The condition of the above Obligation is such, that whereas there is a Marriage suddenly to be solomized between the above bound Frederick Coniker and Rachel Wiseman, daughter of Isaac Wiseman of Rockingham County; if therefore there shall be no lawful cause to object of said Marriage, then this obligation be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.

Rachel and Frederick Had 8 Known Children
Ch 1: Isaac Morgan (1796-1885) born Bet.1796-1799
Ch 2: Elizabeth “Betsy” (1797- ) born Bet. 1797-1800
Ch 3: Margaret “Peggy” (1798-1879) born Abt 1798
Ch 4: Rachel (1804-1860) born Abt 1804
Ch 5: Sarah (1805-1862) born Bet. 1805-1806
Ch 6: Anna (1806-1873) born 10 Sep 1806
Ch 7: Letty (1810-1825) born Aft 1810
Ch 8: Frederick Styrus (1810-1836) born Aft 1810
As Rachel lived with her husband Frederick in Monroe County, (West) Virginia, following their marriage until her death, her children were most likely all born in that county. Estimated years of birth were calculated after analysis of the pre-1850 censuses for children who did not live to be seen in 1850 and later censuses.
Many changes took place in Rachel’s life. She gave Frederick six children before her mother Elizabeth DAVIS died on 19 July 1807. Rachel had two more children following the 1810 census. Her father Isaac WISEMAN died 3 May 1818. Isaac and Elizabeth spent the rest of their days in Monroe County and were buried in the Old Rehoboth Churchyard near Union, the county seat. Three of their children, Abner, Jacob and Elizabeth who married John Blanton went to Kentucky; Samuel, John, and Isaac II went to Ohio; Sarah who married James Barley remained in Rockingham County, Virginia; Joseph, William, and Margaret, who married Bartholomew Ramsey, and Rachel, who married Frederick Honaker, stayed in West Virginia.
Following the 1820 census Rachel saw her oldest son Isaac Morgan HONAKER marry Rebecca Ann SAMS (1799-1860) on 28 October 1820 in Monroe County [bond]. The next two marriages in the HONAKER house were those of Betsy and Peggy. As we do not know the exact date of Rachel’s death, she may or may not have seen these daughters marrying.
Elizabeth “Betsy” HONAKER married William SANDERS (1795- ) on 17 January 1822 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia. Betsy’s half-brother John HONAKER went bond with William SANDERS on 15 January 1822 in Monroe.
Margaret “Peggy” HONAKER married Alexander CAMPBELL (1798-1881) on 30 Oct 1823 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia. Peggy’s brother Isaac HONAKER went bond with Alexander CAMPBELL on the 20 October 1823.
Rachel was the first of the WISEMAN children to pass away. She died between 1 April 1821 and December 1824 in Monroe County. She predeceased her husband Frederick HONAKER who died about December 1824 in Monroe County. Three of Rachel’s daughters married within the year following Frederick’s death:
Rachel HONAKER married Elijah WOOD (1806-1885) on 4 January 1825 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia
Sarah HONAKER married Thomas J. REYNOLDS (1785- ) on 3 March 1825 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia [bond]
Anna HONAKER married Owen DUFFY (1800-1867) on 1 Sep 1825 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia [bond]
The Burial Place of Rachel’s Parents
The log structure that was named Rehoboth was constructed in 1786 on land donated by Edward KEENAN and in 1788 the first American Methodist bishop, Francis ASBURY, preached the dedication service. In 1796 he ordained Frederick’s brother-in-law John WISEMAN as a Methodist minister. Nearly 50 years after Frederick HONAKER joined his parents-in-law in the grounds surrounding Old Rehoboth, a new meeting house was constructed. The old log relic lay abandoned for another half century until it was restored in 1927. Another 30 years later a shed was constructed to further preserve the structure.
Robert N. Wiseman, Senior Historian of the Wiseman Family Association, gave me permission to use this photo of the church taken in 1934 before the “shed” was added.

After giving me permission to use her photos Irene sent more with this explanation: “I have attached pictures of the inside of the church. It was so special to get to see this old building in it’s original shape – very small inside; but it had a balcony…..[in this picture at the bottom and on the balcony are what] look like flat boards or similar; unfortunately cameras didn’t do 3 dimensional pictures. They are pictures of the LOG seats – a log was split in half; a person sat on the inside part of the seat, the bark was at the bottom; there are “peg legs” on the logs. I’ll bet there weren’t too many long sermons in that church….don’t know how anyone could sit very long on a seat that hard…..”

A New Discovery – What Do You Think?
Working my way back on my paternal line has me looking at things that I haven’t worked on in a long time. In the case of the HONAKER and WISEMAN lines I never really went in and checked on all the census and vital records for collateral lines. Both families have associations with historians who are keeping track of these families and updating as new information is uncovered. The list of Rachel’s siblings grew and then shrunk as I checked, checked, checked for supporting records while writing.
I thought I’d found another child for Rachel’s parents but she turned out to be a granddaughter.
When Rachel WISEMAN married Frederick HONAKER on 28 September 1895 Rachel brought Edith, her 10 years old daughter, into the marriage.
Supporting documentation? I don’t have three sources for every event but I’d say, “Yes!”
On 23 May 1803, in Monroe County, Frederick HONAKER went bond with Seth BOGGESS for the marriage of Edith WISEMAN to Seth. [bond at left] Edith and Seth were married on 9 June 1803 in Monroe by John WISEMAN. [marriage register, 4th entry on left page] I did not find a permission slip from her parents.
After finding the marriage I searched for the couple/family in the census, found them in 1820 and 1830, and then hit a dead end. As a last resort I searched the internet for possible queries about the couple. An old genforum posting helped me locate the death record [line 6] of Edith BOGGESS. I had been so focused on trying to locate the entire family in the census that I didn’t check for her death record.
On 5 February 1857 in Monroe County Edith BOGGESS died of cancer at the age of 72 years and 1 day. She was the daughter of Rachel WISEMAN (no father listed) and the consort of Seth BOGGESS. The informant was Wm SMITH, a relative.
Further research shows that William SMITH was a son-in-law, husband of Edith’s daughter Elizabeth. Per Edith’s death record she was born in Monroe and the date of birth can be calculated to 4 February 1785. The place of birth is not reliable as Monroe wasn’t formed until 1799. Her birth would have taken place about the time that the WISEMAN family came down the Shenandoah Valley to Rockingham. At this time, the only Rachel WISEMAN in the area who would have been old enough to have a child was Isaac and Elizabeth’s daughter Rachel who would turn 16 on 1 March 1785.
Was my 4th great-grandmother Rachel WISEMAN the mother of an illegitimate daughter? Please leave a comment telling me what you think.

52 Ancestors: #32 Did Frederick HONAKER Use An Alias?
My fourth great-grandfather Frederick HONAKER’s father Hans Jacob HONEGGER emigrated from Switzerland to America in 1749. Hans Jacob left Switzerland with his young wife and one year old son. Both perished at sea and Hans Jacob arrived alone in Philadelphia.[1]
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
Frederick HONAKER was born about 1757 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, to Hans Jacob HONEGGER (1718-1796) and his second wife Maria GOETZ (1737-1805). At the time of Frederick’s birth his parents had been married 4 years and had two sons, Jacob (1755) and Henry (1756).
Frederick County, Maryland
Around 1758 Frederick’s father moved the family to Frederick County, Maryland. Hans Jacob leased 56 acres of land owned by Lord Baltimore at Mount Pleasant on 16 March 1758 for £25. He brought his land holdings up to 121 acres on 3 December 1761 by adding two adjacent tracts of 51 and 14 acres for £18. Not only did he increase his land holdings, he also increased the size of his family giving Frederick two more brothers, Peter (1762) and Benjamin (1764).
Land was getting scarce in Frederick County, Maryland, and the 121 acres of land that Frederick’s father had leased would not be enough to support the growing family. The 7-year stopover in Maryland ended when Hans Jacob and Maria executed a deed for the three tracts of land for £108.15 on 20 March 1765 to Frederick Eyson and headed for the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
Shenandoah Valley in Virginia
Frederick was eight years old when the family made the move to Frederick County, Virginia. They settled on Passage Creek, at what is now Waterlick, where Hans Jacob bought 97 acres on 2 August 1765. Five more siblings were born: Joseph (1765), Nicholas (1767), Mary (1768), Elizabeth (1769), and Martin (1770). In the early 1770s Hans Jacob began the lengthy process of acquiring a land grant from Lord Fairfax. Most of this land had been originally surveyed for Lord Fairfax by George Washington. On 5 March 1773 the grant for 121 acres was deeded to him. It adjoined his 97 acres tract and brought his holdings to 218 acres.
Frederick now had seven brothers and two sisters and the family was still growing. In 1772 the area of Frederick County where the HONAKER family was living became Dunmore County. Frederick’s brothers Abraham (1774) and Isaac (1775) and his sister Anna (1777) were born in this new county. In 1778 the name of the county was changed to Shenandoah County.
American Revolutionary War 19 Apr 1775 – 14 Jan 1784
“His [Frederick’s] early adult life involved him in an historic event of great importance to America. At about the same time that General George Washington and the Continental Army were emerging from a terrible winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Gen. George Rogers Clark was dispatched from Virginia with a small military force to break British control in the so-called Northwest Territory in the Illinois countery. Among the 178 recruits were three of Hans Jacob Honaker’s sons, Frederick, Henry, and Peter. Frederick was the first of the brothers to enlist with General Clark on 29 August 1777, in Capt. Thomas Buck’s Dunmore Militia in Woodstock, Dunmore (later Shenandoah) County, Virginia while his brothers enlisted on 1 March 1778. The determined force set out from Redstone on the Monongahela River in the spring of 1778, reaching the present site of Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. It continued marching for six exhausting days to Fort Kaskaskia, Illinois, through tackless wilderness inhabited by hostile Indians, in icy, high waters sometimes up to the men’s shoulders, with rations so short that the men were two days without food.”[2]
I am grateful to the researchers who have worked on the HONAKER family and have left a wealth of information. When no citations are given I cannot take the information at face value without searching for documents that confirm the given history. And this is good because it helps me make new discoveries!
Contrary to the above, I found that Frederick and Henry both enlisted on 29 August 1777. By searching through the United States Revolutionary War Rolls, 1775-1783 at FamilySearch I found the original list of persons who enlisted with Capt. Thomas Buck’s Dunmore Militia.

Gen. George Rogers Clark’s Illinois Campaign ended with this dramatic climax:
Illustration of George Rogers Clark’s march to Vincennes in the American Revolutionary War, 1779. The Hero of Vincennes: The Story of George Rogers Clark, by Lowell Thomas 1929. Wikimedia Commons. Public domain.
“The sudden emergence from this waterlogged wilderness of Clark’s muddy, buckskin-clad warriers, with their flintlock rifles and tomahawks, took the Vincennes garrison so completely by surprise that the fort fell, after a brief struggle. It was one of the most heroic feats of arms ever performed, and it saved Illinois and Kentucky from falling to the British. When the treaty of peace was signed in 1783, Clark’s conquests were the major factor in the award of the entire northwest to the Americans.”[3]
After the Illinois Campaign, Capt. William Harrod spent the winter 1778-1779 building a town at the Falls of the Ohio, present day Louisville. Frederick and Henry HONAKER were listed on this muster roll.[4]
As payment for their services in the Illinois expedition, Frederick, Peter, and Henry each were awarded 108 acres of land in Clark’s grant along the Ohio River in Indiana. They later sold their claims.[2]
Did Frederick HONAKER Use an Alias?
I have a slight problem with the above statement about the three brothers. In William Hayden English’s Conquest of the Country Northwest of the River Ohio, 1778-1783 and Life of Gen. George Rogers Clark I found Henry and Peter received 108 acres each (page 846), Henry and P. sold their allotments (page 1072), and Henry and Frederick were on a payroll (page 1034). However what has me puzzled is that, while I haven’t seen a list that includes Frederick receiving or selling his 108 acres, I did find the following on page 1100:
Conquest of the Country Northwest of the River Ohio, 1778-1783 and Life of Gen. George Rogers Clark by William Hayden English (page 1100)
What does “Peter, alias Frederick Honaker” mean? Did Frederick go by the name Peter? Were there only two HONAKER brothers in Capt. Thomas Buck’s Dunmore Militia? If Peter enlisted on 1 March 1778 he would have been only 16 years old.
Frederick Returns Home, Marries, and Begins Raising A Family
Frederick returned to Shenandoah County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Golliday (1759-1794) of that county about 1782. In 1785, Frederick bought 243 acres of land in Rockingham County, Virginia.[2] In 1788, he was reported to be in Capt. John Ruddell’s Company.[2] In 1790 he was seen on the Rockingham County Tax List as Frederick Honnaken with 4 white souls, 1 dwelling and 1 other building.
Frederick and Elizabeth had Magdalene, Polly, Jacob (1783), and John (1793) before Elizabeth died. These children were listed, in this order, in a deed executed by themselves with their father Frederick, 21 July 1812, when they were all residents of Monroe County, (West) Virginia. The deed conveyed their undivided interest in the estate of Jacob Golliday, Elizabeth’s father, to a William Baserman. This was recorded in Shenandoah County Deed Book T, pp. 383-386.
On 12 August 1795 at the age of 77 years Frederick’s father Hans Jacob executed his last will and testament. The original will is in a file drawer marked “Wills Etc. 1796-1814-1820” in Bundle 2 in Wythe Courthouse, per Rev. Al Elswick, Honaker Family Association Historian. Hans Jacob had moved to what is now Draper in Pulaski County in 1784. At the time that he lived there the area was part of the county of Wythe, formed in 1790 from part of old Montgomery County. The will was probated on 10 May 1796 narrowing the time of Hans Jacob’s death to between August 1795 and May 1796.
As Hans Jacob’s will was probated in May 1796 it is very likely that he was still living when Frederick remarried in September of 1795, a little over a month after Hans Jacob wrote is will.
Frederick Conickor and Isaac Wiseman went bond on 24 September 1795 in Shenandoah County on the marriage of Frederick Coniker and Rachel Wiseman, daughter of Isaac Wiseman of Rockingham County.
Frederick’s second wife Rachel WISEMAN (1769-1821) was born 1 March 1769 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Isaac WISEMAN and Elizabeth DAVIS.
From Rockingham County to Monroe County
Following the marriage Frederick made plans to move his family from Rockingham County to what would become Monroe County in 1799. In 1798 he bought a farm from Edward Keenan near the Rehoboth Meeting House in the Sinks in Greenbrier County:
Greenbrier County WV Deeds Book 2 1798-1803 p 66-67
26 Jun 1798; Edward Keenan and wife Nancy Keenan 243 acres for 5 sh to Frederic Honiker land conveyed from Patrick Keenan adj Wiseman, Scarbrough. Wit; William Tennis, John Johnson, John Blanton
As this transaction took place the year before the formation on Monroe County it was recorded in the Greenbrier County.
In 1799 “Frederick Honecor” was listed on the first list of personal property owners in Monroe County, the earliest known list of citizens of the newly formed county.
Library of Virginia
In July 1800, Frederick received a land grant of 57 acres on Lick Run adjoining the land of Edward Keenan and Keenan’s father’s land. The location of the grant is seen (right) as being in Greenbrier. When the land was surveyed it was “lying and being in” that county. Frederick HONAKER now owned 300 acres in Monroe County.
Frederick HONAKER was on the Monroe Voters list in 1800. This was a list of qualified voters for the presidential election of 3 November 1800. It is of interest as the suffrage at that time was very much restricted and a voter was a person of some property and consequence.
Frederick’s mother Maria GOETZ died about 1805 in Wythe County, Virginia.
By the time that the 1810 census was taken Frederick and his wife Rachel had seven children: Isaac M., Elizabeth B., Margaret P., Sarah, Anna, Letty and Rachel, my third great-grandmother. Exact order of birth is unknown as birthdates are not known for all of the children. A son Frederick Styrus was born following the census as no male under 10 is seen in the household in 1810.

Frederick’s four children from his first marriage married in 1803, 1808 and 1814. The first of his children from his second marriage Isaac Morgan HONAKER married Rebecca Ann Sams (1799-1860) 28 Oct 1820 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia.
Monroe County Deed Book G shows Frederick and Rachel selling 13 acres to Hugh Caperton and Henry Alexander “near Rehoboth Meeting House where Honaker lives” on 31 March 1821. Frederick died in 1824 without mentioning Rachel in the will he left. Rachel WISEMAN must have died following the land transaction and before Frederick’s will was written on 30 November 1924.
Two of Frederick and Rachel’s girls married before he died: Elizabeth “Betsy” married William SAUNDERS on 15 January 1822 and Margaret “Peggy” married Alexander Campbell on 20 October 1823.
Frederick HONAKER died about December 1824 and left a will naming all of his children.

Before the appraisement of the personal estate of Frederick HONAKER on 18 January 1825, his daughter Rachel HONAKER married Elijah WOOD on 4 January 1825 in Nicholas County. His daughter Letty died soon after him and later in the year his daughters Sarah and Anna married. His son Frederick Styrus had a guardian, Henry Alexander, and boarded with his sister Anna and her husband Owen DUFFY in 1825.

Frederick’s parents-in-law Isaac and Elizabeth WISEMAN are buried in the church cemetery. Frederick and Rachel’s burial place are not known but must have been nearby, maybe among the many unmarked graves surrounding Old Rehoboth Church. In 1988 the Honaker Family Association placed veterans’ memorial markers in the church cemetery for Frederick and his son Jacob beside the marked grave of Jacob’s son John B. I don’t have a photo of the marker and have not yet received permission to use the photo seen on Find A Grave Memorial# 12277437.

You’ve got to love an ancestor who leaves evidence of who her parents were! In 1800 my 4th great-grandfather William WOOD wanted to hitch up with Mary Ann McGRAW. But Mary Ann wasn’t old enough and had to have her parents’ permission to tie the knot.

Attest. William Wood
John Hutchison, Clk. John Wood
John WOOD, one of the witnesses present when permission was given by Martin and Margaret McGRAW, went bond with William WOOD of Monroe on William’s marriage to Mary Ann McGRAW of Monroe on Tuesday the 3rd of June 1800 in Monroe County, Virginia.
Two weeks later on Wednesday, the 18th day of June, Rev. John ALDERSON Jr. solomnized the marriage of William and Mary Ann.
The WOOD family and Rev. John ALDERSON Jr. knew each other well. Bailey WOOD, William’s father, had been one of the original 12 Baptists who organized the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church.
On the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church, Rev. Robert B. McDanel preached on Sunday morning, November 26, 1911, of the brave little band of twelve members with sturdy convictions whose “names are surely immortal.” He also shared the following about the membership:
In those early years the membership was scattered over a wide extent of territory. It is recorded in the minutes, July 26, 1788, that those who lived nigh were required to attend the services once a month. Those who lived within fifteen miles must come once a quarter, and those at further distance once a year.
As part of the second night of celebration of the 200th annual session of the Greenbrier Baptist Association held in Alderson, West Virginia in July 2000, Rev. Jon Jennings portrayed Rev. John Alderson Jr. in a historical overview of the establishment of the Greenbrier Baptist Association and the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church. His monologue included the following:
So, for four years I continued this struggle as a traveling preacher, until November 24, 1781, we gathered together, 12 faithful Baptists and organized the Greenbrier Baptist Church. (Let me see if I can recall the names: Myself, and my wife, Mary, and Thomas Alderson; then John Kippers, John Shepherd, then there was John, Katherine, Joseph and Lucy Scaggs, and the Woods family: Bailey and Ann, and James Woods).
Siblings of Mary Ann McGRAW
To make the following list I studied the tax lists submitted by Julie McGrew-Ayres; the early marriages in the Greenbrier, Monroe, Kanawha, Nicholas, Fayette counties area; and the pre-1850 as well as later censuses – with all persons named.
Sib 1: Anthony (1775-1814) born abt. 1775 Pennsylvania
Sib 2: John (1776- ) born abt. 1776 Pennsylvania
Sib 4: Martin (1785-1858) born 1785 Pennsylvania
Sib 5: William (1788- ) born abt. 1788
Sib 6: Elender (1788-1845) born abt. 1788
Sib 7: Samuel (1792-1874) born abt. 1792 (West) Virginia
Sib 8: Henry (1797-1873) born abt. 1797 (West) Virginia
Sib 9: Thomas M. (1799-1855) born 9 Feb 1799 (West) Virginia
The marriage of William WOOD and Mary Ann McGRAW was the only one of the following which had a bond showing her parents to be Martin and Margaret McGRAW. Thomas McGRAW’s wife Catharine gave the names of his parents as Martin and Margaret McGRAW on his 1855 death record [line 68].
I believe that all of these McGRAWs were children of Martin and Margaret EXCEPT for William McGraw who married Elizabeth Gill. This William was a grandson through their son Anthony.
Parents of Mary Ann McGRAW
After studying the possible children of Martin and Margaret McGRAW I believe that the estimated years of birth seen for the couple on nearly all online gedcom files need to be revised.
Martin: He was most likely 21 or older when he married. Anthony, the oldest known child, was born abt. 1775. If he was the first child and born within a year of the marriage Martin and Margaret might have been married about 1774 or earlier. Martin would therefore have been born about 1753 or earlier. Martin was last seen on tax lists in 1805 and Margaret was first seen on them in 1810. Martin died after 1805 and before 1810.
Margaret: In 1820 and 1830 her son Henry McGRAW had an older woman living in his household. In 1820 Henry was not yet married and the woman age 45 or older must be his mother. I believe that the woman aged between 70 and 79 in 1830 is also his mother although it is possible that she could be his mother-in-law or any other older woman. But let’s assume she is Henry’s mother. This range in 1830 would put her birth at between 1751-1760. She would have been between 15-24 when her oldest child Anthony was born. Margaret would therefore have been born between 1751-1760. Margaret died most likely between 1830-1840.
Mary Ann McGRAW was born in Pennsylvania
Mary Ann McGRAW’s brother Martin McGRAW Jr. (1785-1858) married William WOOD’s sister Nancy WOOD by publication of banns on 3 May 1806 in Monroe County. The marriage was solemnized by Rev. John ALDERSON Jr. A marriage by license was more expensive than a marriage by publication of banns. This public notice of an intended marriage had to be published, verbally or by written notice, for three consecutive meetings at the churches of the bride and groom making the waiting time longer than with a license.
Was there a reason that the couple would marry “by banns” in 1806? Martin McGRAW Sr., as mentioned previously, was last seen on the Greenbrier tax lists in 1805 which may suggest that he was deceased when his son Martin Jr. married. Could he not afford a marriage license?
Martin Jr. lived long enough to be enumerated on the 1850 census. We rely on the census for valuable pieces of information concerning our ancestors however the information is only as reliable as the person who answered the enumerator’s questions. In the case of Martin Jr. no ages were listed for any of the persons in his household in 1850. However their places of birth were included; Martin Jr. was born in Pennsylvania. As Mary Ann was his older sister it is very likely that she was also born in Pennsylvania. Martin Jr.’s War of 1812 pension papers may have more information on his place of birth.
Children of Mary Ann McGRAW and William WOOD
In 1810 Mary Ann and her husband William WOOD were enumerated next door to her brother Martin McGRAW and her father-in-law Bailey WOOD. By 1810 Mary Ann had given birth to 5 children. Four would follow in the next 14 years.
1810 U.S. Federal Census > VA > Monroe [ancestry.com]
Ch 1: Enoch J. (1801-aft. 1870) born about 1801 in Monroe
Ch 2: Margaret “Peggy” (1801-1856) born about 1801 in Monroe

Ch 4: Elijah (1806-1885) born about 1806 in Monroe
Ch 5: Amos (1807-1845) born about 1807 in Monroe
Ch 6: Allen (1814-1862) born about 1814 in Monroe
Ch 7: Bailey (1816-?) born bet. 1816-1819 in Monroe or Nicholas
Ch 8: [–?–] (1816-?) female born bet. 1816-1819 in Monroe or Nicholas
Ch 9: Mary Ann “Polly” (1824-aft. 1900) born 5 Jun 1824 in Nicholas County
Following the birth of her last child Mary Ann’s children began to marry:
Ch 4: Elijah WOOD married Rachel HONAKER (1804-1860) on 4 January 1825 in Nicholas County
Ch 2: Margaret “Peggy” WOOD married Thomas WITHROW (1806-1880) on 12 October 1826 Nicholas County
Ch 1: Enoch J. WOOD married Margaret JOHNSON (1800-1850) before 1827
Ch 5: Amos WOOD married Susan PARRISH ( -1845) on 12 May 1831 in Nicholas County
Ch 6: Allen WOOD married Elizabeth JOHNSON (1808-1881) on 14 November 1832 in Monroe County
Ch 9: Mary Ann “Polly” WOOD married Martin HESS (1818-1900) on 1 October 1841 in Fayette County
These six children gave Mary Ann and William WOOD 47 grandchildren and close to 200 great-grandchildren. I do not have all great-grandchildren as I have only recently begun research on Peggy and Thomas WITHROW.
Mary Ann’s husband William WOOD died in September 1835 in Fayette County. Her sons Elijah and Amos were the administrators of William’s estate. It’s possible that Mary Ann was in Amos’ household in 1840. He may have taken on the responsibility of caring for his widowed mother as he hadn’t been married as long as Elijah and didn’t have as many dependents.
Amos Wood
1 male 5 & under 10 yo (Felix)
1 male 20 & under 30 yo (Amos)
2 females under 5 yo (Virginia and Matilda)
1 female 20 & under 30 yo (Susan)
1 female 40 & under 50 yo (poss. Mary Ann Wood)
Following the 1840 census there were several deaths in the family. Amos WOOD died leaving a will dated 24 May 1845 which was presented in open court in June 1845. Although he provided for his 5 children he did not mention his wife Susan who must have predeceased him. Mary Ann’s son Bailey, who was last seen in the 1840 census, may also have died during this time period.
Mary Ann was not enumerated in the 1850 census and therefore may have died during the 1840 decade. Although many have her date and place of death as abt. 1845 in Nicholas County, I believe that she died in the 1840s in Fayette County, where she lived her married life.
On the anniversary of Mary Ann McGRAW and William WOOD’s 100th wedding anniversary only one of their children was still living. Mary Ann “Polly” WOOD and her husband Martin HESS, married 56 years, were living on the south side of Mountain Cove District in Fayette County. [line 50 and lines 51-52]

52 Ancestors: #30 William WOOD died 1835 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia
I’m starting a new generation of paternal ancestors with my 4th great-grandfather William WOOD. This generation has 23 known of a possible 32 individuals. They will take me to the end of the year and the end of this challenge.
During the early years of the American Revolutionary War (19 Apr 1775-14 Jan 1784) my 4th great-grandfather William WOOD (b. abt. 1776-1779) was born in Greenbrier County, Virginia, to Bailey WOOD (d. 1826) and his wife Nancy (d. aft. 1826). As no date is known I calculated the range for his birth using the year of his marriage and the age groups that he was enumerated in for the 1810 through 1830 census:
1800 age 21 or older at time of marriage->->->born 1779 or earlier
1810 age group 26-44 (i.e. 31-44)->->->->->->born bet. 1766-1779
Several family historians list William WOOD as William Hicks WOOD. I haven’t found documentation that shows a middle name or even a middle initial. Recent discussions with other researchers nearly convinced me that Nancy was the daughter of Joseph HICKS (aka HIX) and Melvina COLE. However I found an old post on genforum post from October 2006 by Kitty Steele Barrera in which she wrote, “I know that the Nancy Hicks/Bailey Wood connection is tentative because I was the first to make the connection. I posted “Bailey Wood married Nancy Hicks?” and before long, it was all over the internet as a fact.” Kitty mentioned in another message in the same forum that she can be blamed for starting the rumor and the Hicks part is pure speculation.
For now I would like to emphasize that William WOOD (no middle name or initial) was the son of Bailey WOOD and his wife Nancy (no maiden name). As with all brick walls further research is needed to prove the Wood to Hicks connection. I’m open to discussions and/or suggestions on the subject.
William WOOD’s father died before 21 September 1826 as an indenture with that date mentions the heirs and legal representatives of Bailey WOOD, deceased, as well as Nancy WOOD, his widow. It begins as follows:
This indenture made the 21st day of September one thousand and eight hundred and twenty six between James Wood and Polly his wife, Bailey Wood and Lucertia his wife, William Wood and Mary his wife, Richard Skaggs and Susannah his wife, Martin McGraw and Nancy his wife, Samuel McGraw and Elizabeth his wife, Katherine Wood, heirs and legal representatives of Bailey Wood, deceased, and Nancy Wood widow of Bailey Wood, deceased, of the county of Nicholas and state of Virginia of the one part….
[Source: Fox, Vernon A. Nicholas County, (West) Virginia Land Deed. Heirs of Bailey Wood to John Alderson. 21 September 1826. e-mail. May 31, 2001].
From this we can “assume” that the following individuals were Bailey’s children:
Susannah b. abt 1776 md. Richard SKAGGS 1789
William b. abt. 1776-1779 md. Mary Ann McGRAW 1800
Nancy b. abt. 1785 md. MARTIN McGRAW 1806
Bailey b. abt. 1785 md. Lucretia SKAGGS bef. 1807
James b. abt. 1790 md. Mary “Polly” HALSTEAD 1810
Elizabeth b. abt. 1796 md. Samuel McGRAW 1812
Katherine b. abt. ?? no record of marriage
Lyle Lemasters, who has done an immense amount of work on the WOOD family, suggested that heirs does not neccessarily mean children of the deceased. Heirs could also have been grandchildren. Bailey’s sons James and Bailey Jr. both had daughters named Catherine. Katherine may have been a daughter or a granddaughter (daughter of a deceased son) as the name ran in the family. She may be the Catherine WOOD (born bet. 1794-1800) seen in the 1850 and 1860 census with a younger James C. WOOD (b. bet. 1823-1830). Neither have been located after 1860.
In June 1800 Martin and Margaret McGRAW gave permission for their daughter Mary Ann to marry William WOOD.

Who was John WOOD who witnessed the permission slip and went bond with William WOOD when he married Mary Ann McGRAW? John WOOD and Stephen WOOD were in the same area as William in 1820. Could he have been an older brother?
William and Mary Ann were married by Rev. John Alderson on the 18th of June 1800.

Six months after his marriage on 16 January 1801 William was granted 109 acres in the Valley and on Peters Mountain adjoining his own land called the Cave Survey &c in Greenbrier County. [Source: Land Office Grants No. 46, 1797-1801, p. 624-625 (Reel 112)]

On 22 March 1822 William WOOD was granted 50 acres on the waters of New River in Nicholas County. [Land Office Grants No. 71, 1822-1824, p. 47 (Reel 137)]
A little over seven months later, on 1 November 1822 William WOOD, James SKAGGS and Samuel WISEMAN were granted 75 acres on the Sugar Camp Creek a south branch of Gauley River in Nicholas County. [Land Office Grants No. 71, 1822-1824, p. 408 (Reel 137)]
By this time William had acquired nearly 650 acres of land. Did he still own all of it or did he sell some or give parcels to his children?
Six months after the birth of his youngest child Mary Ann, William’s son Elijah WOOD married Rachel HONAKER (1804-1860) on 4 January 1825 in Nicholas County, (West) Virginia.
A year later William’s father Bailey WOOD was dead. We do not know when he died but his legal heirs sold his land on 21 September 1826 in Monroe County, (West) Virginia to John ALDERSON. William’s mother Nancy was still living; it is not known when she died.
At about the same time two more of William’s children married: 1) Margaret “Peggy” WOOD married Thomas WITHROW (1806-1880) on 12 October 1826 in Nicholas County and 2) Enoch J. WOOD married Margaret JOHSON (1800-1850) bef. 1827.
I had a hard time with the 1830 census. In the early days I’d found an abstract of the census 1830 by Neva Jane Stout Bryant. The numbers for William WOOD fit the family group. However when I checked ancestry.com years later I found that their abstract did not match Neva’s and the image was not legible enough to see which was correct. Last week I checked the Internet Archive [Caroline tells you how] and found a much better image and was able to get this transcription which was the same as Neva’s:

1831 Tax Lists
Fayette County, Virginia
Wm. Wood
William WOOD was not moving around from 1800 until this 1831 tax list. The formation of the Virginia counties were at fault that he was seen living in Monroe, Nicholas and finally Fayette County.
Before William’s death in 1835 his sons Amos and Allen married. Amos WOOD married Susan PARRISH (d. bef. 1845) on 12 May 1831 in Nicholas County and Allen WOOD married Elizabeth JOHNSON (1808-1881) on 14 November 1832 in Monroe County.
William WOOD died about September 1835. To date no will has been found. His sons Elijah and Amos were administrators of his estate per the 1836 Bill of Sale found in Fayette County. At the time that William died his son Enoch was living in Ohio. Bailey, Polly, and an unknown daughter may have been under age. His widow Mary and sons Elijah and Amos bought items on his inventory.

52 Ancestors: #17 Rachel HONAKER, wife of Elijah WOOD
This is my 17th contribution to Amy Johnson Crow’s challenge 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks.
52 Ancestors: #17
Rachel HONAKER, wife of Elijah WOOD
My 3rd great-grandmother Rachel HONAKER, one of eight children of Frederick HONAKER and his second wife Rachel WISEMAN, was born about 1804 (1850 age 46, 1860 age 56) in Monroe County in Old Virginia, now West Virginia. Besides her two brothers and five sisters, she also had two half-brothers and two half-sisters.
The Honaker Family Association (HFA)
Before I get into how I know that my Rachel HONAKER was the daughter of Frederick and Rachel, I want to introduce you to the National Association of Hans Jacob Honaker Families, Inc.
The Honaker Family Association (HFA) was organized in 1989, at Pulaski, Virginia. In 1992 the Association was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of Virginia as the National Association of Hans Jacob Honaker Families, Inc. with its headquarters in Alexandria. In 1998 they published the book The Honaker Family in America, edited by Frieda Patrick Davison (Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, MD, © 1998 by The National Association of Hans Jacob Honaker Families). As updates and corrections from descendants are sent to the HFA they produce supplements to the book updating the material. The HFA has sold all copies of the book and there are no plans to reprint or publish an updated version due to the cost.
Which Rachel was the daughter of Frederick HONAKER?
On 24 April 2014 Lyle LeMasters wrote the following to me:
I had a time trying to convince the Honaker Family that [our] Rachel was from this line. Her half and full siblings sold their part of Frederick’s land and she was listed in the deed records right in the middle of the rest of their deeds. The Honaker association finally accepted her as the daughter of Frederick with the deed. It just goes to show not to stay focused on your specific ancestor but the whole group of related or possible relations…..
[I underlined for emphasis.]
As he wrote above Lyle was able to clear up part of a mix-up concerning several ladies named Rachel HONAKER in 2001. The HFA considered him the research authority on the WOOD line and wrote the following in their supplement:
“There is mass confusion among Rachels here. Researchers reported that this and two other Rachels married William Brown in Monroe Co., W.Va. The others were this Rachel’s niece, Rachel[3] (Frederick[1], Jacob[2]) and her cousin Rachel[2] (Jacob[1]). Present evidence is sufficient to determine that this Rachel married Elijah Wood. We are unable to determine now which of the other Rachels married William Brown. To further complicate things, Elijah Wood married, second, Rachel Louisa McGraw prior to the 1870 census.”
[Source: The Honaker Family in America, 5 October 2001 Supplement, Chapter 3 – Frederick Honaker]
Even this explanation is confusing as we see two men named Jacob. One of them was Frederick’s brother and the other was Frederick’s son. The brother Jacob left a will in Russell County, Virginia, naming his children [Christeny Jones, wife of John Jones, Nancy Smith, wife of John Smith, Mary Penson, wife of John Penson, Elizabeth May, wife of John May] but no daughter named Rachel, single or married to William Brown. I believe that the elder Jacob was confused with Frederick’s oldest son Jacob who had a daughter named Rachel. But we are interested in Frederick’s daughter Rachel who married Elijah WOOD.
Rachel’s father Frederick HONAKER left a will (images 149 and 150) naming all of his children, several being underage. He wrote his will on 20 [or 30] November 1824. It was presented in December Court 1824 and proven in January Court 1825. Rachel married Elijah WOOD on 4 January 1825 [line 6]. The following month Elijah and Rachel WOOD sold her part of her father’s estate as seen in:
Monroe County, (West) Virginia Deed References:
1825 Elijah & Rachel Wood to Andrew and George Beirne Deed Bk H pg 218
The description says land only.
Rachel Honaker Wood’s brother Jacob sells land in 1825 to Andrew and George Beirne in Deed Bk H pg 219 Int Frederick Honiker Land
This Indenture made this 21st day of February 1825 between Elijah Wood and
Rachel his wife late Rachel Honiker of the one part and Andrew & George
Beirne & Co of the other part the first named parties of the County of
Nicholas and latter of the County of Monroe each of the state of Virginia
Witnesseth that the said Elijah ?(middle initial can’t make it out) Wood and
Rachel his wife for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar in hand
paid by the said Andrew and George Beirne & Co on or before the delivering of
these presents the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged have granted
bargained and sold and by these presents do grant sell and convey unto the
said Andrew and George Beirne & Co their heirs and assigns forever all that
part or parcel of land lying and being in the said County of Monroe which was
devised to the said Rachel Wood formerly Honiker by the will of said
Frederick Honiker decd be the same more or less with such appurtenances as
may be thereunto belonging & at the same time subject to such restrictions as
are mentioned in the will aforesaid and the said Elijah Wood & Rachel his
wife for themselves and heirs do covenant with the said Andrew & George
Beirne & Co and their heirs the land with its appurtenances aforesaid from
themselves & their heirs & from all other person or persons whatever to the
said Andrew & George Beirne & Co & their heirs or assigns will warrant and
forever defend.
In witness whereof the said Elijah Wood & Rachel his wife have hereunto set
their hands and seals the day & year first written.
Elijah Wood seal
Rachel her x mark Wood
Monroe County Clerks Office 22nd Feb 1825
This deed of bargain and sale from Elijah Wood and Rachel his wife to Andrew
& George Beirne & Co was acknowledged before the Clerk and the same is
admitted to be recorded.
Teste Isaac Hutchinson C.M.C.
This proves that Rachel HONAKER who married Elijah WOOD was the daughter of Frederick HONAKER. I don’t have a copy of this deed which Lyle LeMasters found and transcribed helping him to have the mixup corrected in The Honaker Family in America. On my wishlist: copies of the entire batch of deeds that pertain to Frederick HONAKER’s estate.
Rachel’s life as a wife and mother
In twenty years, from 1825 to 1845, Rachel gave birth to eleven known children. By 1830 she had a son Allen Alexander and three daughters, Amanda Jane, Sarah Ann, and Mary Salinas. Two sons, James Simpson and Elijah Stuart, and three daughters, Turze Lucresia, Nancy E., and Rebecca Ann, brought the number of children up to nine in 1840. In the 1850 census, we see two more sons, William Frederick and Lewis L. All have been documented as seen in Elijah’s story.
According to the 1850 census, unlike her husband Elijah who would become Justice of the Peace from 1852-1858, Rachel could not read & write.
Rachel was last seen in the 1860 census. She died sometime during the 1860s decade as Elijah is seen with his second wife Rachel Louisa McGRAW in the 1870 census. Unless the Elijah WOOD family kept a family bible that was passed on to an unknown descendant, we will probably never know exactly when Rachel died as many records during this era were lost due to the Civil War.
In my research I’ve found 71 grandchildren, 276 great-grandchildren….and still counting.
Please don’t hesitate to submit corrections, additions, or comments. They are always welcome!

Tag: Roup
and Working Through Old and New Research Material to Prove the Immigrant’s Ship
I can remember the day I learned the name of the ship my 6th great-grandparents Johann Jacob RUPP and Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER came over on even though it was nearly fifteen years ago. I can close my eyes and imagine the way my living room looked on that day. Very little is the same today as it was then. It has more to do with the day than with new furniture and decorating.
I received a notification of a reply to my message on the GenForum board for AlsaceLorraine, France, from Genealogy.com. Dennis Welty had seen my post dated 15 April 2001 concerning a trip I was planning to make to the Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and Steinseltz area in Northern Alsace to visit the birthplace of Johann Jacob RUPP (1723-aft. 1792).[1] I was so excited reading his message.[2]
My husband called home as I was copying the post to send to Rupe/Roop researchers Louise Akers and Theron Rupe. He told me to check the news on TV as two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. It was 11 September 2001, the fateful day our world changed. The thrill of being able to share the information from Dennis with Louise and Theron turned to a chill. The events of the day prevented me from celebrating.
At the time I was new to researching my American families. Dennis Welty wrote about things I had no idea how to find or access. But I trusted what he wrote and his conclusion. I shared with others but I did not try to follow through on how he made the discoveries until many years later.
A little over a week ago, while reviewing everything I have on my immigrant ancestor Johann Jacob RUPP (1723-aft. 1792), I checked some of the trees on Ancestry.com. I found a statement I made in Jacob’s notes in my GEDCOM file was attached to a tree in 2009 and has been saved to 46 other family trees.
Jacob and his family arrived in Philadelphia on October 20, 1752 on the ship “Duke of Wirtenburg” that sailed from Rotterdam and Cowes under Captain Daniel Montpelier.[3]
I was convinced the information Dennis Welty sent in his message was correct when I wrote the above. However at the time I did not include the source. One public family tree owner wrote this comment, “Can’t be true, not on 20 Oct 1752 ship list for Duke of Wirtenburg.” I realized I needed to review everything Dennis Welty mentioned and at least try to find an original source for each part of his message in order to prove the ship.
I came across the name Jacob Roop in Baltimore County Maryland in my Welty research. Frederick Decker and Jacob Roop were executers (sic) of the estate of Andrew Welty in 1774 who owned land near Manchester (now Carroll Co.) Maryland. In the administration accounts he is listed as Jacob Rupe.
Fantastic Find #1
I searched through FamilySearch’s Maryland Register of Wills Records, 1629-1999 for Jacob RUPE’s will (none found) but not for Andrew WELTY’s. Last week I realized I needed prove what Dennis wrote by finding the will records mentioned above and adding them to Jacob’s story. These are the records I found:
Last Will and Testament of Andrew WELTY [4]
I hereby nominate and appoint my Trusty and well beloved friends Frederick Daker and Jacob Roop Executors of this my Last Will and Testament….2 November 1772 Andrew Welty
Administrative Bond for the estate of Andrew WELTY [5]
Seen as Jacob RUPE throughout the entire administrators’ bond, he signed his name Jacob RUB. Note: this is a copy of the original bond and the signatures are not the originals but show how the person signed. Jacob signed himself and did not leave a mark like George Fisher.
Inventory of Andrew WELTHY [6]
Baltimore County — March 30th 1773 then came Frederick Docker and Jacob Rupe Executors of the Testament and Last will of Andrew Welthy late of the County aforesaid deceased and severally made oath….
By finding the will, administrative bond, and inventory of the estate of Andrew WELTY, I was able to prove the first statement made by Dennis in his message.
In the 1768 list of signers for the removal of the county seat to Baltimore town are the names Michael Rub and Jacob Rub (five names down) along with Christian Daker and Andres Welti.
In July 2013 I found the 1768 “list of signers” for the removal of the county seat from Joppa to Baltimore town on the Maryland State Archives site with the names mentioned above by Dennis. Petition 29 was one of six petitions, formulated in English and German, for the removal of the county seat.[7]
Christian DAKER and Andres WELTI signed with a mark. Also on the petition were three other men who would play a part in the story of the Jacob RUPP family: Dietrich REINHARTH, Johannes SCHAUER, and Anthon NOLL.
Michael and Jacob RUB left their mark (below) while another man left his signature which was transcribed as Jacob RUL [?].
In 1768 Jacob’s sons Jacob b. 1747 and Michael b. 1749 were over 18 years old but signed only with a mark. Did they not have the education their father received in the old county? From the 1772 administrative bond of Andrew WELTY’s estate we know the elder Jacob signed his surname RUB which may likely have been transcribed incorrectly as RUL (?) on this petition.
Also in the 1773 list of taxables belonging to Pipe Creek Hundred is the name Jacob Rupe, Frederick Deker and Margaret Welty (widow of Andrew Welty). This info is from the book “Inhabitants of Baltimore County 1763-1774” by Henry C. Peden Jr.
While searching online for Henry Peden’s book Inhabitants of Baltimore County 1763-1774 I virtually stumbled upon the scanned images of the 1773 tax list which I needed to confirm Dennis’ statement about Jacob RUPE being on the list of taxables with Frederich DECKER and Andrew WELTY’s widow.[8]
A List of Taxables in Pipe Creek Hundred taken by William Kelley Junior 1773
Before I found the 1773 tax list I located another tax list which is even more noteworthy. It will be discussed in detail in a new post. This much I can tell you, other researchers claim Revolutionary War service for Jacob RUPP however they are claiming the wrong patriot.
In the church records of Zion Church (Protestant) in Manchester Maryland, Jacob and Barbara Rub were baptismal sponsors on Oct. 29, 1768 for Barbara, dau. of Bernhardt and Anna Maria Weinmann. Christian Weinmann and Barbara Rubin were also sponsors for the same couple in 1772. Jacob and Barbara Rub were also sponsors for Johannes and Anna Maria Schauer in 1776, Henrich and Anamarya Gottier in 1780 and Johannes Born in 1780. Jacob Rub and Magdalena Gottiern were sponsors for George Weber in 1781. Also Michl. and Magdl. Rupp gave birth to a dau An. Mar. in 1783 with Michl. and An. Mar. Ritter sponsors and to another dau. Maria Barbara in 1785 with George and Barbara Rubin Weber sponsors. Also Henry Rub and another Jacob Rub appear in later years as does Phil. Nonnenaker. This is from “Maryland German Church Records Volume 10”.
The above events brought up by Dennis Welty were easily confirmed many years ago (2001) when Louise Akers sent me the book with the compilation of English translation of the German church records.[9] [Keep in mind the presence of persons with the surname GOTTIER above.] I don’t have actual images of the church records and have not tried to find where the collections are kept.
In the church records of Evangelical Reformed Church in Frederick, Maryland, Jacob Rupp is on the list of communicants for Easter 1759 along with Christian Biller and Christoph Stoll. This is from “Maryland Church Records Volume 5.
The 1768 petition mentioned earlier was practically a census of all adult males over 18 as the referendum for and against the change of the county seat was circulated throughout Baltimore County. Jacob RUPP and his sons’ appearance on the petition was the earliest known sighting of the RUPP family in Maryland and in America.
Dennis’ statement (above) gives a new and earlier sighting. I have not been able to confirm Jacob RUPP was on a list of communicants with Christian BILLER and Christoph STOLL in 1759 at Easter as I do not have Volume 5 of this series of Maryland Church Records or access to the records. All previous information Dennis wrote about has been confirmed and it is only a matter of time before this statement will be proven as true.
This was the first mention of Christian BILLER and Christoph STOLL. They were not on the 1768 petition or the 1773 tax list with Jacob RUPP which suggests they remained in Frederick County while Jacob moved [check formation of counties] to Baltimore County between 1759 and 1768. What makes finding these three men on the list of communicants so remarkable is Dennis’ next statement:
These names are significant because on the ship Duke of Wirtenburg which arrived in Philadelphia in October 1752 are the names (in order) Hans George Gottle, Jacob (O) Bub, Christian Stahl and Christoff Fridrich Biller. You can draw your own conclusions. I hope this helps.
At the Court House at Philadelphia on Friday, the 20th October 1752 Joshua Maddox, Esqr. met the foreigners, whose names were recorded, imported in the ship Duke of Wirtenburg, Daniel Montpelier, Commander, from Rotterdam by way of Cowes. All adult male passengers age 16 and above signed the oath of allegiance. A transcribed list was found online[10] as well as in the book Pennsylvania German Pioneers. A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals in the Port of Philadelphia from 1727 to 1808 by Ralph Beaver Strassburger, William John Hinke.[11]
The names listed by Dennis Welty were found in the book – next step would be to view the original oath of allegiance list for the passengers who came over on the Duke of Wirtenburg to determine if the name Jacob BUB was transcribed incorrectly and should be Jacob RUP. An email query has been sent to the Pennsylvania State Archives – wish me luck.
You can draw your own conclusions
I believe Dennis Welty was correct when he pointed me to the Duke of Wirtenburg being the ship my ancestor Johann Jacob RUPP came over on in 1752. To further support this I would like to note the information found in two other sources which do not include the name of the ship but give 1752 as the year of immigration.[12], [13]
This exciting news, received on 9/11, was overshadowed by what followed several hours later but it taught me a wonderful lesson about reaching out, sharing and helping others, and giving credit where credit is due. If you would like to include this post in your family tree, please do not copy/paste it as errors made [it happens] may be corrected at a later date. Instead please feel free to include a link back to this article. Thank you.

The immigrant Johann Jacob RUPP came from Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, Northern Alsace, present-day France, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1752 with his wife Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER and their three sons Johann Jacob, Johann Michel, and Johann Martin.
The Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg connection and the ship they came on will be discussed in later posts.
In the Beginning There was Family Tradition
From the following report given by Johann Jacob RUPP’s great-great-grandson Redmond Ira ROOP at a family reunion in 1927 in Carroll County, Maryland, the family very likely took the Great Valley Road in green in the map above (with some continuing on the dotted green road).
Traveling on what was once the Baltimore and Memphis Turnpike, the Rupe caravan crossed the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry in 1796. The caravan included Henry, his wife Catherine, and their family of several sons and daughters, the three older brothers of Henry, and their families. In crossing the Potomac the cattle and other larger animals were forced to swim, and the sons of Henry held the ropes attached to the horns of the cows. One wild cow pulled one of the unsuspecting Rupe boys overboard while crossing and he might have been lost had they not missed the cow, which finally reached shore with the boy swinging to her tail some distance down stream. The three brothers of Henry split with one of them going to Ohio, one to Western North Carolina, and the other to Georgia. Henry and family journeyed through the Shenandoah Valley and into Rockbridge County, bound for the southwestern section of the state, then rather sparsely settled. When they reached Buffalo Creek, four miles north of Natural Bridge, a great flood overtook them and they were forced to remain for several days. A report reached them that Natural Bridge had washed away, and it being the only passage, it would require four years to restore the bridge. They settled on Buffalo Creek and built a mill there, which they operated for years before they learned that the report of the bridge destruction was like Mark Twain’s comment on the first report of his death, considerable exaggereated (sic). Early in the year 1800 they left Rockbridge Co. and wound up in Lunenburg Co., VA where they had at least one child before settling on Pelham’s Branch, near Little River, about eight miles southwest of Christiansburg, Montgomery Co., VA. The first recorded document for Henry in this area was the purchase of 326 acres on Aug. 17, 1804 from Abner Lester, to whom it had been granted by the Commonwealth in 1795.
Who doesn’t have a story of several brothers? My 5th great-grandfather Henry RUPE was the youngest son of Johann Jacob RUPP and and Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER. I would like to believe he traveled with three older brothers but this may be “exaggereated” (to use Redmond’s spelling). To simplify things I’m dropping the Johann from the father and his three sons’ names as, after they came to America, the second name was found in records.
Descendants of the 1752 immigrant Johann Jacob RUPP used different spellings of the surname — RUPP, RUPE, ROOP, ROUP, ROOPE, ROUPE, RUPPE — from one generation to the next, even in the same family and same generation.
This is where I’m seeing the families from 1752 to 1820.
Henry’s parents Jacob and Barbara and his three oldest brothers Jacob, Michael, and Martin came to America in 1752 arriving in Philadelphia. This will be discussed in a later post. The length of time they remained in Pennsylvania is unknown.
Henry’s father Jacob RUPP was in Frederick and Baltimore County, Maryland, from about 1759 to 1792. Church records as well as three sets of newly found records confirm his residence in Pipe Creek Hundred in Baltimore County. They will be discussed in more detailed upcoming posts.
Family tradition (above) tells of Henry and his brothers crossing the Potomac at Harpers Ferry in 1796. The transcript of the report by Redmond ROOP may not be reliable. The information has been copied many times and cannot be traced back to its origin. Theron Rupe, another researcher for the family, wrote the family left Maryland in 1793 after Henry sold 100 acres of the original 115 acres owned by his father Jacob.
Family tradition (above) tells of Henry’s family remaining at Buffalo Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, until about 1800. I have not found proof of this or of their building or running a mill at this location. Henry ROOP was in Rockbridge County on 13 January 1801 when Polly NULL, from Baltimore County, Maryland, and daughter of Anthony NULL married James HART. Henry gave oath of the bride being of age. [I have images of both records] The 1800 census for Virginia is not available and tax lists have been used as substitutes. The 1801 tax list for Rockbridge was used as a substitute. James HART was listed but Henry RUPE/ROOP appears to have already left the county as he was not on the list. There for the marriage, gone for the tax list!
Henry RUPE was seen in Montgomery County buying land in 1804 from Abner Lester. He continued to acquire land and deeds show his name spelled Roop. On the 1810 trough 1840 census the surname was spelled Roop, Roope, and Rupe. He lived in Montgomery County until his death in 1845.
Martin RUPE was a resident of Surry County, North Carolina from 1795 to about 1810. He may not have taken care of all business in the county before moving on as he was seen on the 1812 tax list. George WEAVER was a resident of Stokes County, North Carolina in 1800. By 1820 the WEAVER family was living next door to Henry RUPE in Montgomery County, Virginia. George’s wife was the sister of Henry RUPE.
Martin ROOP (indexed Roap) was in Union County, South Carolina, by 1810. The area became Cherokee County. Many of his descendants lived there as well as across the state line in Rutledge and Cleveland counties in North Carolina. His descendants in the Carolinas used the surname spelling RUPPE.
Places of birth of the children of Henry RUPE indicate he was in Maryland in 1786-1792, Virginia from about 1794.
Places of birth of the children of Martin RUPP indicate he was in Maryland in 1779, Pennsylvania 1780-1788, Virginia 1790, North Carolina 1796-1805.
Places of birth of the children of George WEAVER indicate he was in North Carolina in 1778* and back in Maryland in 1781-1790.
*Another family tradition, which I will be discussing in a future post, suggests Jacob RUPP and his family, during the American Revolutionary War, “bought land in a North Carolina land company and after the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783 the family resurfaced in Baltimore County.” Records I’m finding show Jacob was in Baltimore County during this time and do not support the theory of his being in North Carolina. George WEAVER’s oldest child was listed on the 1850 census as born abt. 1778 in North Carolina. She died before 1860, her children died in 1848, 1865, and bet. 1860-1870. This left no possibility of confirmation of the mother’s place of birth on the 1880 census.
It was important to me to map the migration pattern of the family during this period. I am convinced it will help me prove or disprove the family tradition by pointing me in the right direction at the right time. Of course, any suggestion on a course of action would be greatly appreciated.

Do you feel responsible for errors in others’ family trees?
This door is a symbol for the research done on the immigrant Johann Jacob RUPP of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, Northern Alsace, France. The first door is open showing a passage way leading to another door which is closed.
The First Door Opens
Theron A. Rupe found records in the 1990s for RUPP individuals in the Family History Library’s International Film #775041:
Parish registers, in German, of baptisms, marriages, and deaths for Steinselz, Elsaß-Lothringen, Germany; now Steinseltz, Bas-Rhin, France, including Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg were filmed in the Strasbourg Archives. Note: As of 20 July 2010 these records are browsable online at the Archives Départementales du Bas-Rhin.
Theron’s research opened the first door. We corresponded by postal mail as he did not have internet access and a few emails were passed along by his son-in-law. In 2001 he shared photocopies with me of the records he found showing Johann Jacob RUPP b. 1723 was the son of Johann Jacob RUPP Jr. This in turn led him to Johann Jacob RUPP Sr. who he found had remarried and was fathering children at the same time as Johann Jacob RUPP Jr.
At the time I was more concerned with proving my grandmother’s ROOP line back to RUPE and the RUPP immigrant. Theron was “satisfied with information we have on family in America” and would “appreciate only information relating to Oberhoffen.”
I visited Steinseltz and Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg on a day trip in December 2001 but did not have the time to visit and/or do research at the archives in Strasbourg. This put an end to our collaborating as I did not have access to the records needed to satisfy his interest in the family of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg.
A Second Door Opens
Fast forward a dozen years, in June 2013 I learned the church records were online in the Bas-Rhin Archives. I learned later they had been online for several years as noted above. I’d cancelled my Ancestry.com subscription the previous month and had plenty of time to delve into the church records.
I searched the baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and deaths beginning in 1685, the earliest records available, until 1752 the year my 6th great-grandfather Johann Jacob RUPP (b. 8 March 1723) came to America. I found about 130 church records for RUPP related individuals in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and Steinseltz. This included any record with a RUPP mentioned, for example, as a godparent on a baptismal records. Here a name, there a name, and before you know it you are connecting the dots and can see the whole picture.
What I found completely changed the RUPP family tree. I attempted contacting Theron with the new information however he is no longer doing genealogy. Without a subscription to Ancestry.com I wasn’t able to contact the people who had trees with the wrong information which I felt responsible for.
Why did I feel responsible?
In 2001 I entered the information found by Theron into my family tree. At the time, with the few photocopies of the old church records he shared with me, it looked good [to the new to US genealogy researcher] as the information was also included in Louise Roop Anderson Akers’ book The Family Rub, Rup, Rupe, Roop, Roope (2001 Printed by Jamont Communications, 339 Luck Ave., Roanoke, VA 24016). Although many other genealogists researching the family also bought the book I was one of the first to share the information online.
On 6 December 2002 I uploaded my GEDCOM file to RootsWeb’s WorldConnect Project for the first time and it included the Roop information. A few years later I discovered my file had been included in the Ancestry Family Tree (later becoming a part of the OneWorldTree). Over the years dozens of owners of family trees on Ancestry.com have merged the incorrect information into their trees.
Yesterday I was looking at some of the trees and was reminded of why I do not want my family tree on Ancestry.com. I wish a user’s license was the prerequisite for using the family tree feature as well as reviewing and accepting hints. I can understand how people new to genealogy will make mistakes but there is no need to accept all hints without question.
What has changed in the RUPP family tree?
After sleeping on it, I’ve decided against contacting owners of trees with the incorrect information. My 1752 immigrant was not the only RUPP to come to America. Others came before and after him which only adds to the confusion seen in the trees found online.
To begin I plan to write about my 5th great-grandfather Heinrich Thomas “Henry” Rupe Sr. 1765-1845. There are several aspects of his life I would like to discuss in separate posts. They may not be done in this particular order but will include the migration from Maryland to Virginia, his life in Virginia, his children, and his siblings.
A post on how the connection was made between the immigrant and the ship he came over on will hopefully clear up the “it cannot be” comment I found on one of the “stories” attached to several trees on ancestry.
Once the ship has sailed I’ll write about the three RUPP generations found in the French archives who changed the family tree. Hopefully by writing their stories I will no longer feel responsible for mistakes seen in other people’s family trees.

A Date of Death for Catherine Barbara NOLL (1768-1859)
It’s National Women’s History Month! What better way to start the month than with a post about my latest genealogy *happy dance* find concerning an ancestress who has been featured in several posts with her husband. (see links at the bottom of this post)
It was a known fact that my 5th great-grandmother Catherine Barbara NOLL was still living at the time of her husband Henry RUPE’s death in late November 1845. It has been assumed by some researchers that Catherine died before the 1850 census as she was not listed. I have always thought this to be an error as her daughters Elizabeth Compton, Barbara Rupe, Mary Roop, and Nancy Roop were also omitted even though they are known to have been living at the time. Many of her son William’s children from his first marriage were also missing.
Catherine and Henry’s son Jacob ROOP was still settling his father’s estate in January 1860 when the Widow’s Dower went to the youngest son Joseph. Could this mean their mother was recently deceased?
Where could the answer be found?
I found the answer to this question in the Chancery Records of Virginia.
The Chancery Records Index (CRI) is a result of archival processing and indexing projects overseen by the Library of Virginia (LVA) and funded, in part, by the Virginia Circuit Court Records Preservation Program (CCRP). Each of Virginia’s circuit courts created chancery records that contain considerable historical and genealogical information.
http://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/chancery/
Yesterday morning, while skimming through my Facebook News Feed, I noticed a post by my friend Ta Lee who I got to know when she recognized one of her enslaved families on my blog. Ta mentioned that new chancery cases are available and she was so excited. When I asked her which counties, she told me, Montgomery. I was a bit disappointed as I have been waiting impatiently for Amherst to come online.
This was the last update I saw on Montgomery: The bulk of this series runs from 1773 through 1913. 05/02/2016- These records are currently closed until they are digitally reformatted. The index remains available for research purposes.
Last year I had gone through the index and noted several cases which looked promising due to the names listed. One of these was John Roop, etc. vs. Jacob Roop, Exr, etc. from 1870. I was not expecting to make the find I made!

Will: 1845 Henry Roope : Montgomery County
To the Hon. Andrew S. Fulton Judge of the County Court of Montgomery
Your orators John Roop and Henry Roop respectfully represent unto your Honor that Henry Roop Sen. departed this life in the year 1845 in the County of Montgomery having made & published his will in due form of law whereto was admitted to probate in the County Court of said County at the December Term in said year.
By his said will the testator appointed his son Jacob Roop his executor who duly qualified as such and entered into bond for the faithful discharge of his duties with Samuel Lucas, William C. Taylor & Joseph Roop as his securities.
A copy of said will is herewith filed and prayed to be taken as a part of this bill.
It will be seen by reference thereto that the testator devised to his widow Catharine Roope one third of his real estate for life & directed his executor his executor (sic) to make sale of the residue upon a credit of one and two years & the proceeds to be divided among his children of whom there were thirteen entitled to distributions.
Your orators further represent that sometime after the qualification of the said executor as aforesaid – he commenced a negotiation with the devisees under said will for the purchase of their interests in two thirds of said real estate which finally resulted in a sale on the part of most of them to him of their interests aforesaid.
Among those who thus sold were your orators. Your orator John Roop sold his interest in said real estate at the sum of $100 and in the personal estate at the sum of fourteen dollars and your orator Henry Roop received for his interest in the real & personal estate the sum of $110. Your
his interest in said real estate at the sum of $100 and in the personal estate at the sum of fourteen dollars and your orator Henry Roop received for his interest in the real & personal estate the sum of $110. Your orators ? that the said Jacob Roop effected this purchase from them by representing the title to a portion of the land as defective that much of it was worn out and without timber & that the land sold at public auction would not bring as much as he was willing to give. Your orators having entire confidence in the integrity & judgement of said Jacob Roop made the sale of their interest aforesaid & afterword in June 1851 conveyed the same to him.
Your orators further represent that said Roop held possession of said land until the year 1850 when he made a pretended sale of the same & purchased it in himself at the sum of $8-01 cts per acre. Your orators believe that the time & place of sale was known to but few persons – that there was but little competition and the conduct of said Roop was such as to discourage bidding from the bystanders – Sometime after this, in Oct 1851, the said Jacob Roop made a sort of settlement of his executorial accounts, a copy of which is therewith filed and prayed to be taken as a part of this bill – It will be seen by reference thereto that the testator owed no debts – that the few items of credits claimed by the executor were for charges attending the administrations of said estate & for various sums paid the legatees for their interest as aforesaid – And although the said executor charges himself with 2/3ds of said land at the sum of $8-01ct per acre – yet he has only paid your orators the several sums here in before mentioned – nor has he ever acc?iled in any wise for any portion of the rents & profits of said land between the death of the testator in 1845 & the time of sale in 1850.
Your orators further represent that the said Catharine Roop departed this life in July or August of 1859 – Since which time the said Jacob Roop puts up the extraordinary claim that the sale & purchase aforesaid embraced the one third given to said Catharine Roop. But your orators and that they only conveyed & intended to convey their interests in the said two thirds as herein before stated. But they are advised that this is wholly immaterial in as much as a fiduciary will not be permitted to speculate upon those he represents – that the executor in this case will be held to account for the said two thirds at the price per acre bid by him – and as to the residue of said land he will be required to make sale of the same in the manner directed by the will or to account for its market value – Your orators are informed & so over that the said tracts of land contain 440 acres of land instead of 400 acres as represented to them by the said Jacob Roop for which he will also be held accountable intended consideration of the premises the prayer of your orators is that the said Jacob Roop in his own right & as executor as aforesaid
George Roop – James Roop – Barbara Roop – Nancy Roop – James Comptin & Elizabeth his wife late Elizabeth Roop – Polly Roop – John Pharis & Racheal his wife formerly Racheal Rupe – Linch Akers – Wm Silvers & Ruth his wife, Narcissa Akers, Jackson Silvers & Lucinda his wife, Minnis Chandler & Catherine his wife – William Smith administrator of Samuel Roop & Joseph Roop devisees undersaid will, may be made parties defendant to this bill & required to answer the same on oath –
Let the said Jacob Roop answer & say what amount he paid your orators severally for their interest in said estate whether he did not buy in said land at the price aforesaid and let him full & specific answer make to all the allegations in this bill as though the same were herein especially repeated – And may it please your Honor to grant your orators a ?? for the amount due them upon the sale made by said executor herein before mentioned – and also for a sale of the said one third of the real estate in the manner provided for in said will – and grant your orators all such further and general relief as the nature of their case may require and the principles of equity & good conscience dectable?

17th Century Ancestors: Anna Sybilla and Hannes Bartel RUPP
If there is no pedigree collapse in the family tree we’ll have 512 sets of 8th great-grandparents. The last time I checked I had the names of 37 of these 1024 ancestors. But how many of these are well documented? Or is it possible to have them as well documented as the later generations? If we calculate three generations per century our 8th great-grandparents (generation 11) may have lived about 366 years ago or around 1650 – during the 17th century.
My 8th great-grandparents Anna Sybilla and Hannes Bartel RUPP are my earliest known RUPP ancestors. They are 2 of the 37 known ancestors in this generation. More importantly, their lives and their children’s have been documented from 1685 until their deaths using the Reformed Protestant church records of Steinseltz.

They lived during the Grand Siècle dominated by Louis XIV who expanded the borders of France to include, among other regions, Alsace where the RUPP family made their home. It was a period in history of increased colonization of the Americas by Europeans. It would however take another two generations before a descendant would pull up roots, travel to Philadelphia, and begin a new life in the new world.
Reformed Church of Steinseltz in December 2001
Hannes Bartel RUPP was born about 1650. This estimate was made from his age at death recorded in the church record for his death and burial.[1] The names of his parents are unknown. In his children’s records his name was seen as Hans Barthol, Hannes Bartel and Joh. Barthol (Joh. being the abbreviation of Johann or Johannes). Naming the father when a young single person was confirmed, became a godparent, or married was characteristic of the church records. Early records for Hannes Bartel, for the time prior to his 36th year, were not found as the church records for Steinseltz, including Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, did not cover the period before 1685.
He married Anna Sybilla about 1670. The names of her parents as well as her maiden name are not known. Anna Sybilla was born about 1648 – her age at death was recorded in a short sentence about her death and burial in the church records.[2] On 26 December 1687, when she was already a mother and married to Hannes Bartel, she became the godmother of Anna Margaretha, daughter of Hans Barthel KUNTZ and his wife Anna Juditha of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg.[3] This child would later marry her youngest son and become her daughter-in-law.
Hannes Bartel and Anna Sybilla had the following children.
Johann Jörg “Hans Georg” RUPP was born about 1670 – his age at death was 51 years in 1721.[4] Records were found documenting his being a godfather of at least two children.[5], [6] Johann married Anna Maria OSTERTAG, daughter of Hans Peter OSTERTAG and his wife Anna Judith, on 3 November 1693 in Steinseltz.[7] Anna was born on 23 July 1674.[8] Hans Georg, as he was also known, died on 24 December 1721 in Steinseltz and was buried there two days later on 26 December 1721.[4] His widow Anna Maria died on 30 May 1749 in Steinseltz and was buried there the following day.[9] Anna Maria was the godmother of at least five children.[10], [11], [12], [13], [14]
Hans Martin RUPP[15] was born before 1680 – assuming he was at least 21 years of age at the time of his marriage in 1700. He was the godfather of at three children.[16], [17], [18] Hans Martin married Anna Apollonia WENNER, daughter of Hans WENNER, on 16 January 1700 in Steinseltz.[15] He died before 28 April 1707 when his widow Anna Apollonia married Johann Nicolaus NAEGER.
Anna Eva RUPP was born before 1680 as she became a godmother in 1693 – she would have had to be confirmed, likely at the age of 14-17 years, to become a godmother. Anna Eva and her future husband became a godparents for the same child on 9 October 1695.[19] Anna Eva married Wendel RUMMEL of Cleeburg on 16 January 1700 in Steinseltz.[20] After their marriage they lived in Cleeburg. The church records for Cleeburg for the years 1685-1755 were lost making nearly impossible to research the line. On 13 May 1725 Anna Eva of Cleeburg was mentioned in the church records of Steinseltz when she became the godmother of her brother Johann Jacob’s daughter.[21]
Catharina RUPP was born before 1686 (birth was not found in the Steinseltz church records which begin in 1685). She became a godmother on 21 December 1703 in Steinseltz.[22] No further record was found for her in Steinseltz.
Maria Margaretha RUPP was born before 1686 (birth was not found in the Steinseltz church records which begin in 1685). She became a godmother for Maria Dorothea, daughter of Johann Jacob RUPP Senior and his wife Anna Catharina of Steinseltz, on 24 August 1720 in Steinseltz.[23] No further record was found for her in Steinseltz.
Johann Daniel RUPP was born about 1680. He became a godfather in 1700 in Steinseltz.[10] He married Anna Catharina FETZER, daughter of Hans Paulus FETZER and and his wife Apollonia, on 10 February 1711 in Steinseltz.[24] He became a godfather in 1719 in Steinseltz.[25] Johann Daniel died at the age of 52 years on 26 January 1732 in Steinseltz and was buried there two days later.[26]
Johann Michael RUPP was born on 3 November 1686 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized in Steinseltz.[27] He married Anna Barbara WOLTER on 14 January 1710 in Steinseltz.[28] Johann Michael died on 22 November 1711 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 24 November 1711 in Steinseltz.[29]
Johann Jacob RUPP Jun. was born on 27 April 1689 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized on 1 May 1689 in Steinseltz.[30] He married Maria Apollonia FETZER (1689-1743), daughter of Hans Paulus FETZER and his wife Apollonia, on 21 February 1713 in Steinseltz.[31] Johann Jacob died on 30 October 1732 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 1 November 1732 in Steinseltz.[32] This couple, my 7th great-grandparents, were featured in The RUPP-FETZER Family of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg.
Johann Phillip RUPP was born on 26 August 1691 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized on 29 August 1691 in Steinseltz.[33] He was confirmed in 1709[34] and became a godfather in 1714[35] and in 1723[36] Johann Phillip married Anna Margaretha KUNTZ, daughter of Hans Barthol KUNTZ and and his wife Anna Juditha, on 13 February 1714 in Steinseltz.[37] Anna was born on 21 December 1687 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized on 26 December 1687 in Steinseltz.[3] As noted earlier, her godmother became her mother-in-law. She died on 30 June 1741 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 2 July 1741 in Steinseltz.[38] Johann Phillip died on 21 April 1751 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 22 April 1751 in Steinseltz.[39]
Anna Margaretha RUPP was born about 23 July 1696 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized on 23 July 1696 in Steinseltz.[40] Anna Margaretha was confirmed Easter of 1711 in Steinseltz.[41] She became a godmother in 1712[42] and in 1715[43]. She became a godmother for Maria Dorothea, daughter of Johann Jacob RUPP Senior and his wife Catharina, on 19 March 1723 in Steinseltz.[44] Anna Margaretha married Johann Jacob WENNER, son of Simon WENNER and Maria Dorothea BEYERFALCK, on 13 April 1723 in Steinseltz.[45] Johann Jacob was born on 4 March 1697 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and baptized on 6 March 1697 in Steinseltz.[46] Anna Margaretha died on 2 September 1732 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 3 September 1732 in Steinseltz.[47] Her widower Johann Jacob WENNER died on 8 November 1732 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 10 November 1732 in Steinseltz.[48]
Hannes Bartel RUPP died on 12 February 1707 at the age of 57 years in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, and was buried the next day in Steinseltz.[1] His widow Anna Sybilla died a little over four years later on 11 December 1711 at the age of 63 years in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried the following day in Steinseltz.[2]
The ages at death for Hannes Bartel and Anna Sybilla suggest she may have been two years older. This may be proven or refuted at a later date. The next step in researching this line would be to check the surrounding towns for Reformed Protestant church records or perhaps other denominations prior to 1685.
This concludes my series of posts for the RUPP line written since the beginning of the year. A complete list of posts can be found in The ROOP Book. I hope you have enjoyed meeting the ROOP, RUPE, RUPP families. Are they also your families? Please leave a comment below letting me know how you are related.

The Johann Jacob Rupp Family History Spans Two Continents
Back in the 1990’s my 4th cousin twice removed (4C2R) Theron Arvel RUPE consulted the microfilm of the Family History Library for the Protestant church records before 1752 for the little town of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg is the longest name of any commune in the Bas-Rhin department. It should always be referred to in it’s entirety [previous posts have been corrected] as there is another Oberhoffen in the Bas-Rhin department. Oberhoffen-sur-Moder lies 40 km (25 miles) south of Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg.
An entry in Annette Kunsel Burgert’s Eighteenth Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America[1] led Theron to research in Bas-Rhin for the Johann Jacob RUPP family. On pages 413-414 under entry 409 for Rubb, Joh. Jacob of Oberhoffen (Burgert did not give the full name of the town) the following information was given:
Johannes NONNENMACHER of Merckweyler md. 25 November 1721 Maria Barbara STAMBACH, daughter of Jacob STAMBACH of Oberkutzenhausen. They had 5 children: Maria Barbara 1722 md. Joh. Jacob RUBB, Anna Eva 1724-1733, Anna Maria 1727, Christina 1730 md. Joh. Michel WERNER, and Margaretha 1733. After the death of Johannes NONNENMACHER his widow Maria Barbara md. 1734 Joh. Michael FÜNFROCK. She died in 1768 and he emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1770.[1]
Although the above was very helpful for the ancestry of Johann Jacob RUPP’s wife Barbara no information was given for his parents. Nevertheless, Burgert included very important information on the three sons of Jacob RUPP and his wife Barbara – their dates of birth and baptism as well as the name of the church record they were found in: Steinseltz Reformed Kirchenbuch.[1]
FamilySearch Catalog: https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/350938?availability=Family%20History%20Library
Theron consulted the film (above) and found several entries for Johann Jacob RUPP. The first (below) was for his birth on 8 March 1723 and his baptism the next day. His parents are seen as Johann Jacob RUPP jun. (Jüngere=the younger) and his wife Maria Apolnia (sic). His godparents were Hans Georg RUPP’s son Johann Peter, Peter THOMAS’ son Johann Jacob, and Johann Philipp ERLMANN’s daughter Anna Juliana. Hans Georg RUPP was an older brother of the father of the child. The relationship of the other two sponsors has not been researched.
As fate would have it, also on the same page of the church book was the birth and baptism of a set of twins born to Johann Jacob RUPP sen. (Senior=the elder) and his wife Anna Catharina (2. above) At the time Theron, or the person helping him with deciphering and translating, thought the elder RUPP was the father of the younger RUPP and followed the elder’s trail back. Rupp Sen. was the son of another man named Johann Jacob RUPP. Confusing? At the time it seemed logical and the line of Jacob RUPP b. 1723 was seen going back two more generations with father and grandfather having the same name.
If you take another look at the FamilySearch catalog entry for the church records of Steinseltz, under Notes you will see the records once available only on FHL film have been online since 20 July 2010 at the Archives départementales du Bas-Rhin at this direct link to the church and civil records.

I learned about the records being online in May 2013 and found about 130 church records for RUPP individuals for the time period 1685-1752 within days but it took a bit longer to figure out where they belonged in the RUPP family tree.
The Most Important Discovery
Hans Barthol RUPP was the father of the younger Johann Jacob RUPP. Johann Jacob RUPP the elder was NOT the father of Johann Jacob RUPP the younger. They were born two years apart and most likely were cousins. Johann Jacob (father of Johann Jacob sen.) and Hans Barthol (father of Johann Jacob jun.) had an 8 years difference in age and died the same year. They were the only RUPP men of similar age during the time period in the Steinseltz church records. No reference to their parents was made in the records found. My assumption at this time is they may have been brothers. Further research will take me to Lembach and Wissembourg for Protestant church records before 1685 and more specifically during the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) most likely the period in which Hans Barthol RUPP’s parents were born and married.
Above is the title page the Protestant church register of Steinseltz. This is from the LDS film and not an image from the Bas-Rhin archives site. It is in this register that all information was found for the RUPP family from the time the register began in 1685 to 1752 when the Johann Jacob RUPP family emigrated to America. As I do not have a license to use the images I have listed complete source citations at the end for all interested in seeing the actual record for the births, marriages, and deaths found.

Johann Jacob RUPP, son of Johann Jacob RUPP, der Jüngere (the younger) and Maria Apollonia FETZER, was born on 8 March 1723 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France[2]. He was baptized on 9 March 1723 in Steinseltz, the neighboring town where the Protestant Church was located.[2] He died after 1792 in Maryland or Virginia.
Johann married Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER, daughter of Johannes NONNENMACHER and Maria Barbara STAMBACH, on 7 February 1746 in Kutzenhausen, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France.[1], [3], [4] Maria was born on 17 November 1722 in Merkwiller, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France.[5] She was baptized on 19 November 1722 in Kutzenhausen.[5] She died after 1792 in Maryland or Virginia.
Jacob and Barbara had the following children.
Jörg Heinrich Rupp was born on 17 November 1746 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was baptized on 20 November 1746 in Steinseltz.[6] He died at less than two months of age on 7 January 1747 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was buried on 8 January 1747 in Steinseltz.[7]
Johann Jacob Rupp was born on 22 December 1747 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was baptized on 26 December 1747 in Steinseltz.[8] It is not known if this son came to Baltimore County with his parents or where he lived during his lifetime.
Johann Michel “Michael” Rupp was born on 6 April 1749 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was baptized on 11 April 1749 in Steinseltz.[9],[10] Michael married Magdalena “Magdaline” Tanner before 1776. Magdalena died before 3 April 1806. He also married Mary (Rhinehart) Weaver after 3 April 1806. Michael died before 13 April 1816 in Manchester, Baltimore County, Maryland, and left a will. His second wife Mary died 19 September 1848.
Johann Martin Rupp was born on 6 March 1751 in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg and was baptized on 12 March 1751 in Steinseltz.[11], [12] Martin married Mary Barbara Mattias about 1777. Mary was born after 1755. He died between 1830-1835, most likely in Tennessee.
Anna Maria “Mary” Rupp was born about 1753 in Pennsylvania or Maryland. Anna married John Shower about 1772 in Manchester, Baltimore County (present-day Carroll County), Maryland. John was born about 1750. He died before 2 March 1810 and left a will. Mary died intestate in 1833.
Barbara Rupp was born about 1759 in Baltimore County, Maryland. She married George Weaver before 1778. George was born before 1755. He died in between 1800-1810. Barbara died between 1830-1840 in Montgomery County, Virginia.
Henry RUPE Sr. was born about 1765 in Baltimore County, Maryland. Henry married Catherine Barbara NOLL, daughter of Johan Anton “Anthony” NOLL and Maria Magdalena BRUNNLE, about 1785 in Baltimore County, Maryland. Catherine was born on 24 February 1768 near Manchester, Baltimore County, Maryland. She was baptized on 13 March 1768 in Manchester. She died before 12 January 1860 in Montgomery County, Virginia. Henry died between 19 November 1845-1 December 1845 on the Old Henry Roop Place near Riner, Montgomery County, Virginia. Henry and Catherine were buried in the Family Cemetery on the Old Henry Roop Place.
The family decided to go to America after the birth of child #4. Burgert wrote, “Zweibruecken Manumissions Protocoll, Clee- and Catharinenburg, 1752: Jacob Rubb with wife and three children, from Oberhoffen, leaves for America.”[1]
In 1770 Jacob RUPE bought Rhineharts Folly in Baltimore County, Maryland. The following year on 12 April 1771, per Burgert, Jacob RUP, German, was naturalized. Her source: Colonial Maryland Naturalizations by Jeffrey A. Wyand, Florence L. Wyand (Genealogical Publishing Com, 1975).[1]
There may have been a son named George RUPE who signed the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 in Baltimore County, Maryland. I have not found any documentation to support his being a son nor have I located a person by this name with an estimated birth being between 1752-1757. Could the oldest living son of the emigrant have used the name George? His father owned land in Baltimore County and was most likely the Jacob Rupe who signed the Oath of Allegiance in 1778 with George Rupe and Martin Ra(u)pe.
Also included in many family trees for Jacob RUPE and his wife Barbara is a son named John. I found no trace of a John RUPE in Baltimore County, Maryland. The brothers Johann Michael and Johann Martin went by their second names, Michael and Martin. Could the fact that Jacob and Barbara named three of their sons Johann with a middle name in the German tradition have caused this confusion? There was a John RUPE in Franklin County, Virginia, from at least 1799 to after 1827. In 1812 and 1817 he was surety for the marriage of two RUPE ladies to BECKNER men. In 1827 he was security for his son-in-law Samuel BECKNER. He did not appear to have sons who lived to adulthood and his line was likely continued by 3 or 4 daughters. Further research is planned to determine if he was a son of Jacob RUPE.
Next week I will be going back another generation to Johann Jacob RUPP jun. and his family. Have you missed one or the other post about Johann Jacob RUPP and his wife Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER? Here’s a list:

“Well, it has been so troublesome and vexatious that I am almost sorry that old gentleman ever died.” ~ Jacob ROOP, executor of the last will and testament of Henry RUPE [1]
Henry RUPE’s last will and testament did not mention how much land he had when he died. In At Home on the Old Henry Roop Place we learned Henry RUPE had acquired at least 1,147 acres between 1804 and 1826 in Montgomery County, Virginia. Although the RUPP, RUPE, ROOP line has been researched by at least a half a dozen serious researchers[2] I have not heard of a single land record which refers to Henry RUPE selling or gifting land in Virginia during his lifetime. A visit to the county court house and/or state archives is not planned for anytime in the near future. I would however be grateful to anyone willing to share new record finds.
It is not known if Henry gave each of his children land outright or allowed them to live on his land when they married, became independent, or started families (as three of his daughters did without bothering to marry). In his will he mentioned only a tract of 100 acres which his son William lived on:
…William Roupe my sone will take they hundred akers of land that he is now living on for his part of they hole of my estate, he has they priveeledges so to dwo and if not that is to be sold with they rest of my lands…[3]
Perhaps 100 acres was the amount of land he subdivided for his children to use until they decided to settle elsewhere.
The earliest map I could find gives “the names and locations of many of the early a adventurers in the territory – from 1750 to 1865” but does not show the location of Henry Rupe’s mill. I did however find several Civil War period maps which have Roope’s Mill marked to the west of Ryner and southwest of Auburn which would later become Riner.

The First Census Following Henry’s Death
Before we go on to the records left after the death of Henry RUPE I would like to discuss a peculiarity of the 1850 census.
In 1850 Henry’s children Jacob, Henry Jr., Caty’s widower Jacob Akers, William, Samuel, Rachel Pharis, and Joseph were living in Montgomery County. James was in Floyd County and John was in Pulaski County. These nine were found on the census. George was living in Indiana but has not been located on the census. Widow Catherine and daughters Elizabeth Compton, Barbara, Mary, and Nancy were not located in 1850. The daughters were still living as will be seen below and should have been enumerated with under-aged and/or unmarried children. Three of William’s sons aged between 14-18 were also missing from the 1850 census. As this seems quite peculiar I would like to throw out a theory: Henry’s widow Catherine, her widowed daughter Elizabeth, her three unmarried daughters and their children, and William’s unmarried sons (their father had remarried in 1846) may have all been living together and working on the home place in 1850 but were missed by the census taker. Is this too farfetched? Why else would they have been missed?
Old Henry Roop Place is Mentioned in These Deeds
Louise Akers included three deeds in her compilation[3] on the family which show Henry RUPE must have owned 406 acres at the time of his death and his wife Catherine had use of 1/3 or 138 acres until her death. It must be noted that these three deeds do not mention all of the children of Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL.
Barbara ROOP and Henry R. ROOP sold their share of the tracts of land know as the old Henry Roop place to Jacob ROOP, executor of his father’s will, on 12 April 1851. [3]

Could the middle initial have been copied incorrectly into the record book? Could this have been George’s son Henry B.

When Did Henry’s Widow Catherine Die?
Henry’s son Jacob ROOP was still settling his father’s estate in January 1860 when the Widow’s Dower went to the youngest son Joseph. Could this mean their mother was recently deceased?
There has been much speculation about when Catherine Barbara NOLL died. She was not found in the 1850 census, as discussed above, the 1860 census, or the Mortality Schedule for 1859-1860, the year prior to the enumeration of the 1860 census.
Redmond Ira Roop his speech in 1927 said she died in 1861 at the age of 95. It is unlikely she died after her son Joseph bought the Widow’s Dower. Could she have died just before 12 January 1860? I hope her death may have been noted in a batch of chancery records which are not yet available online.
After Catherine’s death a chancery case was “going on” up until 1870 between John ROOP etc. and Jacob ROOP, Executor of Henry’s will. I found this indexed on the Library of Virginia site however the scanned images are not yet available online. The will of Henry RUPE was submitted as evidence per the index. The surnames mentioned are AKERS, CHANDLER, COMPTON, PHARIS, ROOP (various spellings), SILVERS, and SMITH. Akers, Compton and Pharis were the married names of daughters Caty, Elizabeth and Rachel. Chandler was the married name of Caty’s daughter Catherine and Silvers was the married name of her daughters Narcissa, Ruth and Lucinda. Caty’s children are most likely mentioned as she died before 1850. This is, of course, speculation on my part as I have not seen the images with the surnames which were indexed.
The Henry and Catherine Rupe Family Cemetery
Using Google MyMaps (above) I was able to pinpoint the exact location of the cemetery on the old homeplace using the Civil War period maps with the location of the “Roope Mill,” the descriptions on the land deeds mentioned in At Home on the Old Henry Roop Place, and Roger S. Roop’s photos.

Catherine was buried on the Old Henry Roop place next to her husband Henry. Louise Roop Anderson Akers used the proceeds from her book The Family Rub, Rup, Rupe, Roop, Roope (2001) to buy a memorial marker for the spot believed to be the final resting place of Henry RUPE and his wife Catherine Barbara NOLL. Although it includes the names of all of their children only Henry, Catherine, their youngest son Joseph and some of his family were buried in the Henry & Catherine Rupe Family Cemetery outside of Riner, Virginia.
This concludes the family history of Henry RUPE, the youngest son of the immigrant Johann Jacob RUPP. It is now time to cross the Atlantic Ocean and go back to the roots of the Rupp family in Oberhoffen-lès-Wissembourg in present-day France.

The beautiful Eclipse on Thursday night took us by surprise. The weather has been so charming, that we had no occasion to consult the Almanac for “signs,” and hence the first intimation of the phenomenon we derived from the darkened face of the Moon herself. It was almost a total eclipse, a very narrow rim of light appearing on the lower edge of the Moon. The shadow passed oft about half-past 9. Tough the shrouded Queen of Night threw a cold and melancholy light on the ground, it did not , as far as we saw, affect, in the least, the minds or feelings of our fellow-citizens. There was as much joyous laughter or brooding discontent, as if there had really been no no eclipse. Very few persons, in these days of steam, are subject to “skyey influences.”[1]
The lunar eclipse took place on 14 November 1845, less than a week later Henry RUPE would sit down to write his last will and testament on 19 November 1845.
A very short time later, at the age of eighty, Henry died suddenly of heart failure while out walking on the farm.[2] He was buried on the homeplace. His death took place between the writing of his will on 19 November 1845 and 1 December 1845, the day of probate.

The Last Will and Testament of Henry ROUPE, as his name was written, was photocopied by Louise Akers and included in her book.[3] Although she placed a transcription in the front of the book, I did my own from the photocopy in the book in hopes of perhaps finding a missing clue and to better understand the many misspellings. [To-do: A better copy of the document needs to be obtained. Check the next page of the Will Book for a possible continuation of the last line.]

What Henry’s Will Told Me
Transcribing makes the words sink in. I don’t have an inventory of his estate or a copy of the sale bill of his estate, but I realized in his last will my 5th great-grandfather Henry told me a bit about the work the ladies in his household did.
To his wife Catherine he left one cow, one bed, one flax wheel, all the grain and wheat, and one small oven. To his youngest daughter Nancy he left one burro, all his part of the sheep, one cow and yearling, one loom with its reeds and harnesses, one pot and oven, and one flax wheel.
What kind of beds did the family have? Single, three-quarter, or full sized? Walnut, maple or pine? Four poster beds with trundle beds underneath? High, low, turned, ringed or carved bedposts? Plain or shaped headboards? Home-made or bought? Being a large family they probably hand-made all their furnishings and may not have had the time or inclination after all the hard work to fancy up the bedposts with carvings.
A housewife’s work included hours in the kitchen working the stove or oven. Baking, frying, roasting, and boiling pails and pails of water for bathing, washing, and even scalding pigs for slaughter. Cleaning, butchering and preparing game brought home by the men. Caring for the animals, milking cows, producing butter, tending the garden, shearing sheep, spinning and weaving cloth. All the time with children afoot.
In his last will and testament Henry mentioned only his wife Catherine, daughter Nancy, son William and his oldest son Jacob whom he named executor. The money arising from the sale of the estate was to be equally divided among all his children but they were not named. Linda Pearl Dickey Roop wrote in her research notes, “Named in his will and settlement of the estate (Floyd Co, Va.3-Feb-1850) were his wife Catherine, sons: Jacob, John, Henry Jr., William, Samuel, James, Joseph, and George. Daughters: Barbary, Catherine Jr., Mary, Rachael, Nancy, and Elizabeth.” Henry’s son James ROOP, my 4th great-grandfather, was living in Floyd County at the time of his father’s death. Could probate records have been included in the county due to James’ living there?
He left a large estate and his son, Jacob, was named as Executor in his will. On account of there being so many heirs widely scattered over the country it required several years to wind up the estate. It was said that Jacob almost despaired a number of times before the estate was finally settled and once in his desperation exclaimed “Well, it has been so troublesome and vexatious that I am almost sorry that old gentleman ever died.”[2]

This is where we left off following The Early Years in Maryland (1765-1793), The Years in Rockbridge (1793-1801), and At Home on the Old Henry Roop Place:
The family of Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL reached Montgomery County in time for Catherine to give birth to Samuel on 4 September 1801.[1] Six boys and three girls. But they were not yet finished with the family planning.
While Henry and his “hardy sons” were busy clearing the land and building a new home for the family, Catherine gave birth to child number ten, Mary also known as Polly about 1802.[3] In 1868 when Polly’s oldest son reported her death he gave her place of birth as Lunenburg County.[4] This death notice has not been found or confirmed and is the cause of a discrepancy in the family tradition.
I suspect her place of birth is incorrect considering the geographical location of Lunenburg County compared to Rockbridge and Montgomery counties where the family was said to be before and after her birth. It would mean Henry and his family left Rockbridge County traveling through Montgomery County where their son Samuel is said to be born, on to Lunenburg County where Polly is said to be born, and then back to Montgomery County where they finally settled down.
About the same time Henry RUPE bought his first tract of land in the county in 1804 his wife Catherine gave birth to her eleventh child, a daughter Rachel.[5] His family was still growing and he found a necessity for more land as seen in Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL ~ At Home on the Old Henry Roop Place.
Henry and Catherine became the parents of a daughter Nancy in 1806[6] and a son James, my 4th great-grandfather and their 13th child, about 1808.[7]
When the census was taken on 6 August 1810[8] Henry RUPE was 45 years old and his household included 17 persons as follows:

It is interesting to note the pre-1850 census listings were all in alphabetical order except for 1810 which was recorded by visit. Living next door to Henry RUPE was his nephew Jacob WEAVER, his wife, son, mother and siblings. Jacob’s father George was enumerated in Salisbury, Stokes County, North Carolina, in 1800[9] and died before 1810 either in North Carolina or after moving to Montgomery County. The RUPE and WEAVER families were sandwiched in between Austin AKERS and Northrup FULLER who shared land lines with Henry as seen in the 1809 land grant description.[10]
Henry and Catherine’s oldest daughter Elizabeth is believed to have married about 1803 however a marriage record has not been found. I am no longer sure this is the case and will have to do further research before I write about Elizabeth. After her father’s death she would be seen as Elizabeth COMPTON or CUMPTON when she sold her part of her father’s estate on 14 June 1851.[11]
In Henry’s household in 1810 all of his children are accounted for. Extras in the household are a man and a woman in the same age bracket as Henry and Catherine as well a a young male under 10 years old. James COMPTON who is believed to have been the husband of Elizabeth was not found in 1810. Could he have been included as the male over 45 in this listing? Is the young male Elizabeth’s son? Unless there are COMPTON descendants who already know the answers, these questions may only be answered by a new round of fact-finding.
Chances are Catherine was pregnant in August 1810 when the census was taken. She was 43 years old when she gave birth to her 14th child, a son Joseph, born about 1811.[12] Joseph would remain the youngest of the RUPE brood. Catherine had spent the last twenty-five years bearing children and these days were finally over. Henry and Catherine saw all fourteen children grow to maturity. A bit unusual for the times and shows they took great care of their family.
No evidence has been found of any of Henry RUPE’s older sons serving during the War of 1812 (18 Jun 1812-24 Dec 1814). Jacob, the twins John and Henry, and George would have been old enough being between 26 and 18 years of age. Instead of going to war the older children began to marry.
John RUPE married Elizabeth THOMPSON (1795-1870) on 14 January 1813[13]
Jacob ROOP married Susannah ALLEY (1790-1860) on 15 Apr 1815[14]
Catherine “Caty” RUPE married Jacob AKERS (1775-1860) on 27 June 1815[15]
George RUPE married Margaret BALDWIN (1800-1839) on 5 December 1818
William RUPE married Ester AKERS (1802-1846) on 7 June 1820[17]
They were all married in Montgomery County, except for George who married in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Redmond Ira ROOP, in his 1927 reunion speech, told of George’s learning the hatter’s trade in Christiansburg. Among those who worked by his side was the famous Col. David CROCKETT of Tennessee, who became stranded in Christiansburg in 1802 on his way home from Baltimore, where he had gone with a cattle drive. George RUPE followed David CROCKETT to Tennessee about 1815.[18]
Less than a week after Henry purchased 46 acres[19] from his nephew Jacob WEAVER the 1820 census was taken on 7 August 1820.[20] One little line of “chicken scratch” and this is what comes out of it:

You may ask, why are we seeing children of the daughters Barbara and Mary and no husbands. By 1820 six of the fourteen children were married and had their own households. The second oldest daughter Barbara had a son, was not married, and lived with her parents.

Mary, the next oldest unmarried daughter living at home, had an illegitimate daughter in 1819. The father was allegedly Isom DOBBINS.[22]
Before the next marriage could take place in the family Henry Jr. was fined $16.13 on 3 October 1822 for bastardy.[23]
The Commonwealth of Virginia, to the Sheriff of Montgomery County Greeting:

Charles Taylor[23]
The notice does not mention the child or the mother of the child. Eight months later, at the age of 34, he married 18 years old Mary “Polly” THOMPSON (1802-1880) on 7 June 1823 in Montgomery County[24]. Henry’s twin brother John had married Polly’s sister Elizabeth ten years earlier.
Henry and Catherine’s youngest daughter Rachel married John B. PHARIS (1797-1864) on 20 October 1823 in Montgomery County.[25]
When the census was taken on 1 June 1830[26] Henry was 65 years old and Catherine 62. In their household were three unmarried daughters, Barbara, Mary, and Nancy, with their eight illegitimate children; three sons, and an unknown female in the 30 thru 39 age group.

1 female 60 thru 69 (Catherine 62)
Total – All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 17
This screenshot of the census for Henry Sr., Henry Jr., Jacob, William, and John shows 52 persons in 5 households. Missing in the count are three daughters, Elizabeth (believed to be married to James COMPTON with 2 children, a 3rd already married), Caty with 8 children, Rachel with 3 children, and son George who was in Wayne County, Indiana, with 4 children. This brings the grand total up to 78 persons in the family including in-laws. No wonder cousin Everette McGrew wrote:
They were Whigs, but never owned slaves, the family being so large and able bodied that they had little use for them, and for the further reason that there were few slaveowners in that immediate locality.[27]
As for their being Whigs, I cannot find anything to support this statement. The Whig Party was formed in 1833 and dissolved in 1854. I believe Everette may have used the term in a more broad sense indicating they were opposed to tyranny as were the American Whigs who fought for independence in 1776.
During the first half of the 1830s the three youngest sons married in Montgomery County.
James “Jimmie” ROOP married Elizabeth CARROLL (1808-1880) on 23 July 1830[28]
Joseph ROOP married Mary “Polly” CARROLL (1809-1909) on 13 Sep 1831[29]
Samuel ROOP married Martha “Patsy” TOWNSLEY (1815-1870) on 7 January 1834[30]
On 1 June 1840[31] when the census was enumerated Henry was 75 years old and head of a household which included his 72 years old wife Catherine, his youngest son Joseph with his wife and their four children, and his unmarried daughter Nancy and two of her three sons. His other two unmarried daughters as well as his married children had their own households in Montgomery County with the exception of the twins John and Henry Jr. who were in Pulaski County, formed in 1839 from parts of Montgomery and Wythe counties.

Henry RUPE and his family toiled hard on the land he bought. They owned and worked several grist mills, timbered and farmed the land, as their livelihood. Henry left fourteen children when he died in 1845. They gave him 94 grandchildren during his lifetime – only two of these did not live long enough to be named. Eighteen more grandchildren were born before his widow Catherine passed away. The last two grandchildren were born after her death bringing the total to 114. Ninety-two of these grandchildren carried the RUPE or ROOP surname while only 22 carried a different surname than their grandfather.
Did Henry RUPE leave a will with the names of his children? Did he wish for his property to be divided and how? The answers to these questions as well as the source of the name “Old Henry Roop Place” will be revealed in the next installment.

One hundred and ten years ago today on 26 March 1906 a great-great-great-granddaughter of Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL was born.
Happy Birthday to my grandmother Myrtle Hazel ROOP (1906-1997).
Time to Leave Maryland
I wonder if Maryland was becoming too crowded for the Henry RUPE family in the 1790s? After he sold Rineharts Folly on Tuesday, 23 April 1793, there is no further trace of the family in Baltimore County.[1] If you missed their time in Maryland you can read
Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL ~ The Early Years in Maryland (1765-1793).
From family tradition and documents which point to new locations, we know my fifth great-grandparents Henry RUPE and Catherine Barbara NOLL prepared to leave Maryland. They packed up their personal and household goods, rounded up their livestock and five children and made their way to a destination which may not have been known when they set out. Did they have a wagon for the journey ahead or did they buy a Lancaster Conestoga wagon? Did they travel alone or with others? Unless someone kept a diary, we will never know the answers to all of our questions. Some facts, or is it fiction, were passed down and recounted by Henry’s great-grandson Redmond Ira ROOP at a family reunion in 1927 in Carroll County, Maryland (extracts in italics in the boxes).
Traveling on what was once the Baltimore and Memphis Turnpike, the Rupe caravan crossed the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry in 1796.[2]
In 1793 Henry was about 28, his wife Catherine 25, son Jacob 7, daughter Elisabeth 6, twin sons John and Henry 4, and baby daughter Barbara was less than a year old. If they did not make the trip until 1796 as recounted by Redmond another three years need to be added to the ages.
However 1793 would seem to be more logical as their next child, son George was born in Virginia per his three living children’s 1880 census listings. George who was not found on the 1850 census died the summer of 1859 at the age of 65. This would place his birth at about 1794.
The Three Older Brothers of Henry?
The caravan included Henry, his wife Catherine, and their family of several sons and daughters, the three older brothers of Henry, and their families.[2]
Who doesn’t have a story of several brothers? I asked this question in
Rupe/Roop/Ruppe/Rupp Migration in the Years 1752-1820. I believe not the brothers but a sister’s family may have taken the journey with them as well as a single sister-in-law.
Catherine left behind her elderly father Anthony NOLL age 70, a younger step-mother Catharina, brothers Francis and John, sisters Lovis, Elizabeth, Magdalena and Betsey, and a half-sister also named Catharina. All were mentioned in the will Anthony NOLL left in 1801 in Baltimore County. My fifth great-grandmother Catherine Barbara NOLL and another daughter Polly NOLL were not mentioned in the will.[3]
Henry left behind his brother Michael and sister Anna Maria, both married with children. His oldest brother Jacob has not been traced as well as George, who is only known because he signed the Oath of Alligiance in 1778 in Baltimore County. A brother named John, included in the family group by early researchers, has not been documented.
It is not known if his parents were still living in 1793. There has been some speculation by earlier researchers that the older RUPE couple may have accompanied Henry and his family on the Great Wagon Trail through the Shenandoah Valley. Redmond did not mention the parents in his narrative.
Henry’s brother Martin most likely took to the trail several years earlier as his daughter Sophia was born in Virginia abt. 1790. He was in Surry County, North Carolina, by 1795.
Henry’s sister Barbara and her husband George WEAVER also made the trip with their family – but when? George WEAVER sold his land in Baltimore County in 1785 when his wife Barbara relinquished her dower rights. However they remained in the county for five more years having children in 1786, 1789, and 1790. Is it possible the WEAVERs traveled with the RUPE family or the did the RUPE family follow the WEAVERs?
Who hasn’t read of the hardship our ancestors endured while traveling overland. Horse and oxen pulled the covered wagons over rutted and narrow dirt roads or trails. Streams and rivers had to be crossed, dry or swollen from rains. Not all crossings went well.
In crossing the Potomac the cattle and other larger animals were forced to swim, and the sons of Henry held the ropes attached to the horns of the cows. One wild cow pulled one of the unsuspecting Rupe boys overboard while crossing and he might have been lost had they not missed the cow, which finally reached shore with the boy swinging to her tail some distance down stream.[2]
The first leg of the journey had taken them from Manchester southwest through Frederick on to Harpers’ Ferry where they entered Virginia after crossing the Potomac River. A crossing retold over the years to become part of the family legend. Imagine the scene! If only I had my great-grandfather Walter Farmer ROOP’s talent for drawing.
The three brothers of Henry split with one of them going to Ohio, one to Western North Carolina, and the other to Georgia.[2]
Per family tradition following the crossing of the Potomac the caravan split up. However I cannot find proof of a RUPE brother going to Ohio or Georgia. As mentioned earlier, Martin RUPE, the brother who went to North Carolina, traveled through Virginia in 1790 when a child was born in the state, and lived in Surry County, North Carolina, from at least 1795 until before 1810.
The End of the First Leg of the Journey
Oren Frederic Morton, A History of Rockbridge County, Virginia, published 1920 by McClure Co., Staunton, Virginia- (https://archive.org/stream/historyofrockbri00mortrich#page/n313/mode/2up : accessed 20 March 2016)
The trail entered the Shenandoah Valley between two mountain ranges, the Blue Ridge on the east and the Allegheny Mountains on the west, near Winchester. At times it was not unusual to see a half a dozen wagons a day passing through a point in the Shenandoah Valley. The RUPE family were bound for the southwestern part of the state but their journey would end, for a while, before they reached the Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County. At a rate of 10 to 15 miles a day it would have taken them about 2-3 weeks to travel from Manchester, Maryland, to this point in Rockbridge County.
Henry and family journeyed through the Shenandoah Valley and into Rockbridge County, bound for the southwestern section of the state, then rather sparsely settled. When they reached Buffalo Creek, four miles north of Natural Bridge, a great flood overtook them and they were forced to remain for several days. A report reached them that Natural Bridge had washed away, and it being the only passage, it would require four years to restore the bridge. They settled on Buffalo Creek and built a mill there, which they operated for years before they learned that the report of the bridge destruction was like Mark Twain’s comment on the first report of his death, considerable exaggereated (sic).[2]
If the WEAVER family had been traveling with RUPE family through the Shenandoah Valley to Rockbridge they likely separated when Henry’s family built the mill and settled on Buffalo Creek. George and Barbara WEAVER were in Stokes County, North Carolina, by 1798 when their oldest son married.
In 1798 Henry RUPE was living in Rockbridge County, Virginia. This is a fact documented in Baltimore County’s land records. Rineharts Folly, the land he sold in 1793, once again plays a role in the family tale.

Due to an error or omission in the original land deed dated 19 April 1793 the document had to be recorded again. I may be incorrect about this but Alexis Lemmon and Charles Boblitz may have traveled to Rockbridge County to have the deed signed by Henry Roop who left his mark on 19 May 1798 and then had it recorded in Baltimore County on 15 September 1798. Was Charles Boblitz the son or a relative of Jacob Boblitz, the grantee? Was he taking care of family business by going to Rockbridge? The 1793 deed was missing the day of the month at the beginning but the description of the tract was identical to that found in the 1788 deed in which Jacob RUPE sold the land to his son Henry RUPE. In the deed above the complete description was omitted.
A Wedding Before Moving On
Early in the year 1800 they left Rockbridge Co. and wound up in Lunenburg Co., VA where they had at least one child before settling on Pelham’s Branch, near Little River, about eight miles southwest of Christiansburg, Montgomery Co., VA.[2]
This last statement is incorrect. Henry was still in Rockbridge in early 1801 when he gave witness to the age of a young lady who was married the same day. Later in the year when the tax list was drawn up, he would no longer be in the county.

Polly NULL, daughter of Anthony NULL of Baltimore County, Maryland, married in Rockbridge and had her age witnessed by Henry. Neither document points to Henry’s relationship to the bride. There was only one Anthony NOLL in Baltimore County, Maryland, during this time period. The NULL and NOLL spelling of the surname was found in the land records of Anthony NOLL. Polly NULL has to be a younger sister of Catherine NOLL and a sister-in-law of Henry.
Finding Polly raises several questions. Did she accompany the RUPE family or did she join them several years later? She would have been a young teenager in 1793 and may have gone along to help her sister Catherine with the five young children. Did she choose to join Catherine instead of staying with her father and step-mother? Why did Catherine and Polly’s father omit them from his last will and testament in 1801? Did the RUPE family keep in touch with the families in Baltimore County over the years?
This 1801 marriage is the last documented proof of Henry RUPE, seen at this time as ROOP, being in the county of Rockbridge. Soon after, while Polly NULL and her husband James HART remained in Rockbridge, Henry pulled up stakes and continued south with his family which now numbered 10 persons: Henry was 36 years old, his wife Catherine 33, their children Jacob 15, Elizabeth 14, twins John and Henry 12, Barbara 9, George 7, Caty 5, and William less than a year old.
The RUPE family left for a new destination and it couldn’t have been Lunenburg County, Virginia.

My 6th great-grandparents Anton NOLL and Maria Magdalena BRUNNLE (also seen as BRENTEL and PRENL) belonged to the Zion Church, or German Church, in Manchester, Baltimore County, Maryland. Established on 12 February 1760, the Zion Church was the oldest Lutheran congregation in what is now Carroll County. Today the church is known as the Immanuel Lutheran Church.
On Sunday, 13 March 1768, Anton and his wife Maria Magdalena brought their daughter Catharina Barbara, two and a half weeks old, born on Wednesday, 24 February 1768, to a log structure owned and used jointly by the Lutheran and Reformed congregations.[1] The building was located east of the present complex on ground now used for burial purposes.
The log structure was replaced by a second house of worship, a brick building painted yellow, in 1798. It was also a joint Reformed and Lutheran church. A tower erected in 1836 graced the church until both were razed and the ground cleared for a new church building dedicated in 1915. Source: History of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Maryland of the United Lutheran church in America, 1820-1920 by Wentz, Abdel Ross, 1883-1976, Published 1920, pg. 361. (https://ia801400.us.archive.org/0/items/historyofevangel00wentiala/historyofevangel00wentiala.pdf : accessed 12 March 2016)[2]
They met up with friends, neighbors, and fellow worshipers. On this Sunday they brought Catharina Barbara along to be baptized and asked their friends Johann Jacob FAUBEL, Anna Barbara HOBMANNIN, and Catharina HOBMANNIN to sponsor her.[1] The baby girl’s sisters Lovis (14) and Elizabeth Margreth (11) and her brothers Francis (7) and John (4) may well have been present for the occasion.
The church service was conducted exclusively in German. The record book of the congregation was kept at the church, in a cupboard or on a shelf at the altar. John Casper KIRCHNER, the clergyman, recorded the baptism in German in the book with a pen he dipped in the inkwell which sat waiting to be used.[1]
The year Catharina Barbara was born her father was one of the signers of a petition for the removal of the county seat from the once thriving port of Joppa to Baltimore Town. Her future father-in-law Jacob RUPE and his oldest sons Jacob and Michael also signed the petition. I’ve got this history fact down pat and know without looking it up that it took place in 1768.
In 1783 Catharina, the 15 years old daughter of Anthony NOLL, was confirmed along with thirteen young women aged 15 and 16 and twelve young men aged between 15 and 18 at the Zion Church of Manchester.[1] Catharina’s mother died between 1778-1783 and wasn’t present for this important event.
Three years later Catharina NOLL married Henry RUPE, the youngest son of Jacob RUPE and Maria Barbara NONNENMACHER. Henry, seen as Henrich in the church records when his children were baptized, belonged to the Reformed congregation. He was born about 1765. Although entries were made in the shared church book by John Caspar KIRCHNER for the Lutheran congregation and by Jacob LISCHY for the Reformed congregation for the time period Henry was born, there is no entry for his birth or baptism. Pastor LISCHY recorded only three baptisms in August 1765 and July 1766.
Marriages were often performed at the pastor’s home or at an inn and rarely in the church were the record book was kept. The church record, used by both the Lutheran and Reformed congregations, has records of baptism, communion, confirmations, and much later funerals or burials – no records of marriages. We therefore do not know a date for the marriage of Catharina and Henrich, or Catherine and Henry as they were known outside the German community.
Henry and Catherine’s marriage likely took place in the fall of 1785 before her 18th birthday. They probably lived with Henry’s parents Jacob and Barbara on Rhineharts Folly, land Jacob bought in 1770.
On Sunday, 30 July 1786 Catharina née NOLLIN and Henrich RUP presented their first born son Jacob for baptism. He was a month and a half old having been born on Thursday, 15 June 1786. His parents were his sponsors.[1] Nollin is the feminine form of the mother Catharina’s maiden name NOLL, née was included in the transcription/translation of the German records to English.
Catharina and Henrich had a daughter Elisabetha on Tuesday, 4 September 1787. She was baptized nearly two months later on Wednesday, 31 October 1787. Her sponsor was Elisabetha SELLERIN (feminine form of SELLER, ZELLER).[1]
On Wednesday, 2 April 1788, Jacob RUPE sold the remaining 100 acres of Rineharts Folly to his son Henry RUPE. Originally 115 acres, he’d sold 15 acres to his son-in-law John Shower in 1787. Jacob and Henry’s surname was spelled RUB on the deed and Rhineharts lost an h and was written Rineharts.[3]

Henry bought the land from his father with all the buildings, improvements, meadows, waters, privileges, and appurtenances. There is no mention of Jacob’s wife Barbara relinquishing her dower rights.
Henry was now the owner of the family home and likely was expected to care for his parents. Jacob and Barbara were 65 years old in 1788.
With Catharina’s next pregnancy the number of children would double from two to four. On Friday, 27 February 1789, Catharina gave births to twins, Johannes and Henrich. The boys were baptized on Sunday, 26 April 1789, in the Lutheran church their mother attended. The sponsors were: Johannes KIEFFER and Eva KIEFERIN for Johannes and Peter and Christina ZIEGLER for Henrich.[1] Johannes and Henrich would would later be known as John and Henry.
On Monday, 29 October 1792, Catharina gave birth to her fifth child, a daughter Barbara. He baptism is recorded in the church record with only the name of her father Henrich, her date of birth, and the name of her sponsor, Barbara RUPPIN (feminine form of RUPP).[1] Her sponsor in all likelihood was her paternal grandmother who was a member of the church and whose husband was Reformed. Why did the clergyman omit the name of the mother and the date of the baptism? Other children baptized in 1792 and 1793 also had the name of their mother missing in the church record.
The page young Barbara’s baptism was recorded on, at first glance, appears to have entries made out of order. In the introduction to the compilation of the church records we learn that people may have come from great distances to have their children baptized. A closer look at the names reveals four Kaltreuter children born between 1787-1792 being baptized, likely on the same day as Barbara. The youngest was born 4 November 1792 which could mean the baptisms took place after this date. Even the most conscientious clergyman can make mistakes. Was Pastor Daniel SCHROEDER overwhelmed by the number of baptisms performed and recorded on one day that he forgot to enter the date?
Whatever the reason for the missing date for the baptism, it is the last record for the three generation family in the church records.
On Tuesday, 23 April 1793, Catherine relinquished her dower rights when her husband Henry RUB sold Rineharts Folly to Jacob BOBLITS. The indenture was recorded on Tuesday, 14 May 1793.[3]

So much like a never-ending detective story, Cathy, you think the mystery is going to be solved … only to be continued 😀
Janice Webster Brown of Cow Hampshire, New Hampshire’s History Blog wrote this comment in the Genealogy Bloggers group on Facebook about my most recent post Proof of Patriotic Service During the Revolutionary War for Jacob RUPE in the series on my 6th great-grandfather. I was flattered by this compliment which makes the research and writing more rewarding.
To help solve some of the mystery in Jacob RUPE’s history I turned to MDLandRec, a digital image retrieval system for land records and indices for Maryland counties. The service is currently being provided at no charge to individuals who apply for a user name and password.
Our kids always make fun of us for reading the directions before we set up any kind of electronics in our home. I admit I didn’t do this for the Maryland Land Records site. I stumbled a bit before I found my way around. I should have taken some time to look at their Help guides.
Guide for all other Maryland Counties
Guide for Baltimore City
My advice is to take a look at the guides, don’t do what I did. It would have saved me some time as I was under the false impression, after my first login, that the land record instruments were only available and/or searchable for 1964-2016. I was going to give up on the site however all searches for information on earlier land records in Maryland pointed to the site. Also, the Wiki on FamilySearch Maryland Land and Property was very helpful in confirming the older records are on the site.
Getting back to the MDLandRec site, for early records you need to click on Active Indices (see p. 24 of 38 in the other MD counties guide). There are likely many different scenarios for searching for specific land records due to what is available for each county. I’d like to give an example using my Jacob RUPE and one of his land records I was searching for.
Jacob RUPE bought Rhineharts Folly in Baltimore County in 1770 from Frederick Rhinehart. This was a “known,” not a fact until I could prove it, found in Theron A. Rupe’s narrative “From Oberhoffen to America” as mentioned in my posts, Rhineharts Folly in Pipe Creek Hundred, Baltimore County, Maryland and Proof of Patriotic Service During the Revolutionary War for Jacob RUPE.
For this time period and county, MDLandRec has a Grantee Index 1653-1849, Grantor Index 1655-1849, and an Index for 1659-1800. There is also a Tract Index 1798-1851.
Since I knew the names of both the grantor and grantee as well as the tract name I could use any of the first three indices. The Tract Index begins in 1798, too late for the 1770 deed I was searching for. The Tract Index would prove helpful in tracking future owners of Rhineharts Folly but first things first. To use the grantee and grantor indices you need to know the meaning of the two.
If you work with land records, you have to keep these straight. Grantors sell; grantees buy. Or, put another way, the grantor is the sell-or and the grantee is the buy-ee. (Yes, it’s silly, but it helps keep them straight!)
~ Amy Johnson Crow in her post 5 Misspelled, Misused Genealogy Words… and How to Get Them Right
Since my 6th great-grandfather Jacob RUPE was the grantee or buyer I checked the Grantee Index:
An Archives of Maryland Online Publication https://mdlandrec.net/
With the information found on the index (No., Folio, and letters AL at the top of the column) I went back to the search page and entered Book B and Page 265. The search turned up two results – one description being AL B.
This took me directly to the land deed.
The deed continues on pages 266 through 268. Instead of saving each page separately I entered the page range into the bottom box on right. This allows the display of up to 10 pages. This is such a great feature! It allowed me to download the entire document in one file eliminating the necessity of merging the pages into one document.
I took a screenshot with the page range (4 images) to help with my source citation. The land record and source citation “reminder” were saved to Jacob RUPE’s media file with the file names (MRIN Filing System):
MRIN00554 1770 Frederick Rinehart to Jacob Rupe land deed.pdf
MRIN00554 1770 Frederick Rinehart to Jacob Rupe land deed source.png
This done I was able to move on to the next search until I found ALL the land records I was looking for plus a few bonus ones:
1770 Frederick RINEHART to Jacob RUPE
1778 Christopher SHROD to George WEAVER
1785 George WEAVER sold land to Peter ZEP
1787 Jacob RUB to Johannes SHOWER
1787 Martin RUB to Peter TRUSHAL
1788 Jacob RUB to Henry RUB
1793 Henry RUB to Jacob BOBLITS
1798 Henry ROOP to Jacob BOBLITS
The files have been attached to each individual in my database. Next, I will write the source citations and transcribe the documents. I’ve already read through them and found several clues which confirm known facts and others which may disprove some assumptions. And the story continues…..

2 Selective Sulfidation of Copper, Zinc and Nickelin Plating Wastewater using Calcium Sulfide
Authors: K. Soya, N. Mihara, D. Kuchar, M. Kubota, H. Matsuda, T. Fukuta
The present work is concerned with sulfidation of Cu, Zn and Ni containing plating wastewater with CaS. The sulfidation experiments were carried out at a room temperature by adding solid CaS to simulated metal solution containing either single-metal of Ni, Zn and Cu, or Ni-Zn-Cu mixture. At first, the experiments were conducted without pH adjustment and it was found that the complete sulfidation of Zn and Ni was achieved at an equimolar ratio of CaS to a particular metal. However, in the case of Cu, a complete copper sulfidation was achieved at CaS to Cu molar ratio of about 2. In the case of the selective sulfidation, a simulated plating solution containing Cu, Zn and Ni at the concentration of 100 mg/dm3 was treated with CaS under various pH conditions. As a result, selective precipitation of metal sulfides was achieved by a sulfidation treatment at different pH values. Further, the precipitation agents of NaOH, Na2S and CaS were compared in terms of the average specific filtration resistance and compressibility coefficients of metal sulfide slurry. Consequently, based on the lowest filtration parameters of the produced metal sulfides, it was concluded that CaS was the most effective precipitation agent for separation and recovery of Cu, Zn and Ni.

1 Recovery of Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr from Plating Sludge by Combined Sulfidation and Oxidation Treatment
Authors: D. Kuchar, T. Fukuta, M. Kubota, H. Matsuda
The selective recovery of heavy metals of Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr from a mixed plating sludge by sulfidation and oxidation treatment was targeted in this study. At first, the mixed plating sludge was simultaneously subjected to an extraction and Cu sulfidation process at pH=1.5 to dissolve heavy metals and to precipitate Cu2+ as CuS. In the next step, the sulfidation treatment of Zn was carried out at pH=4.5 and the residual solution was subjected to an oxidation treatment of chromium with H2O2 at pH=10.0. After the experiments, the selectivity of metal precipitation and the chromium oxidation ratio were evaluated. As results, it was found that the filter cake obtained after selective sulfidation of Cu was composed of 96.6% of Cu (100% equals to the sum of Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr contents). Such findings confirmed that almost complete extraction of heavy metals was achieved at pH=1.5 and also that Cu could be selectively recovered as CuS. Further, the filter cake obtained at pH=4.5 was composed of 91.5% Zn and 6.83% of Cr. Regarding the chromium oxidation step, the chromium oxidation ratio was found to increase with temperature and the addition of oxidation agent of H2O2, but only oxidation ratio of 59% was achieved at a temperature of 60°C and H2O2 to Cr3+ equivalent ratio of 180.

More Than 100 Gay People Have Fled Chechnya’s Brutal ‘Gay Purge’ To Safety
Jordan Hirst 2 years ago
Warning: distressing content
Over 100 gay and bisexual men and women have fled Chechnya to escape persecution in the past year, according to a Russian LGBTIQ rights group one year after the country’s brutal “gay purge” was first exposed.
Independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta first reported last year that men had been abducted and tortured as part of an alleged Chechen “anti-gay purge,” repeatedly denied by authorities but confirmed by human rights groups.
The St Petersburg-based Russian LGBT Network said in a report this week that in the last 12 months at least 200 LGBTIQ people had been detained in secret prisons throughout the region. Thirty-six of them had been beaten and electrocuted, the group said.
The LGBT Network said this week they had been told by victims the abuses were “directed by the highest officials of Chechnya” and the network’s activists had evacuated 119 people from the region to safety.
“The victims were subjected to tortures, humiliations, and other measures that harm their physical and psychological well-being,” the group said.
Testimonies from survivors published in the report, reported by UK’s The Independent, describe abuse by Chechen police and military personnel.
“They threw me to the floor and beat me,” one victim, known as IJ, said.
“They beat my chest and my face with their feet, and they hit my head against the floor.
“One of them said, ‘Do not beat him until the shock stage, at that point he will stop feeling pain. We don’t need that.’”
Another victim known as EF described their car being raided by police who on finding a leather bag and bracelets told them, “Are you a faggot? If you are, I’ll shoot you right here.”
The LGBT Network said it continues to document reports of detentions in Chechnya with authorities “visiting the houses of some previously detained survivors to learn if they stayed or left the region,” The Independent reported.
The group’s founder Igor Kochetkov said in a statement, “Over the past year, the Russian LGBT Network and Novaya Gazeta have undertaken the work the state was supposed to do. We have ensured the safety of victims and collected and publicized their testimonies.
“But one thing we could not do is launch an investigation and ensure criminal prosecution of the perpetrators. The Russian authorities, apparently, do not want to do this.”
In an interview with HBO last year, President Ramzan Kadyrov slammed the reports any sort of crackdown as “gibberish”.
“We don’t have such people. If there are any — take them to Canada. For the sake of Allah. Then, they would be far away from us,” he said.
Kadyrov’s press secretary Alvi Karimov last year also denied there were homosexuals in Chechnya but also delivered a chilling warning.
“It is impossible to detain and oppress those who simply don’t exist in the Republic,” he said.
“If there were such people in Chechnya, the law-enforcement agencies wouldn’t need to have anything to do with them, because their relatives would send them to a place of no return.”
Russian LGBT Network board member Svetlana Zakharova said the country’s gay crackdown “is not over” and the group is demanding “justice for the victims in Chechnya, for their relatives and their loved ones.”
“The Russian authorities must fulfill their duties, and start a serious investigation of this crime against humanity,” she said.
“The Russian authorities have not done anything to stop the atrocities or to punish those who are responsible. We still don’t know exactly how many people suffered during this state-sponsored campaign to ‘purify Chechen blood.'”
