Back to the nebulous tech hype that Register readers love to hate.
The New York Times appears to have breached two of its own ethics guidelines when it gave op-ed space to John Battelle last week to promote the Web 2.0 buzzword.
Battelle, who produced the Web 2.0 conference with MediaLive, used the space to assure us that Web 2.0 wasn't really a bubble, in a curiously nervous and defensive piece.
But the Times failed to disclose that it's an investor in Battelle's new Federated Media publishing company - a very Bubble 1.0 kind of oversight. And neither did Battelle, until the admission was dragged out of him by Jon Garfunkel of Civilities.net.
"Yes, The NYT Company is an investor in my company Federated Media," confessed Battelle "I very much doubt this had anything to do with my having a chance to write this but I agree, it should have been disclosed in the Op Ed somewhere."
The Gray Lady, as the paper loves to be called, has a ponderous "Ethical Journalism Guidebook", which it threw away for the occasion.
Times readers apply exacting standards to the entire paper. They do not distinguish between staff written articles and those written by outsiders. Thus as far as possible, freelance contributors to The Times, while not its employees, will be held to the same standards as staff members when they are on Times assignments, including those for the Times Magazine."
Assigning editors in business and financial news who deal with non-staff contributors have a special duty to guard against conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict. To the extent possible, assigning editors should ensure that outside contributors meet the strict standards outlined in Section 12 above for the business and financial news staff.
No staff member may own stock or have any other financial interest in a company, enterprise or industry that figures or is likely to figure in coverage that he or she provides, edits, packages or supervises regularly.
While Guideline #152 reminds editors not to employ freelancers who fall foul of the ethics rules.
"If they violate these guidelines, they will be denied further assignments," it states. So it looks like Battelle's sparkling prose won't be troubling the Times op-ed readers again.
"In short, the theme of the Op-Ed was that 'it's once again safe to invest in the net again'", notes Garfunkel. He told us that he had mailed the Times public editor but has yet to hear a reply.
He also observes, "ironically, given how much the blogs have ripping the NYTimes these days from TimesSelect to Judy Miller, they give bad journalism a pass when it's sucking up to their interests."
A failure of 'Collective Intelligence', we guess.
Now given the unanimity of disdain for the Web 2.0 hype - only two out of many hundreds of correspondents defended it in a recent survey - you'd think the Times would be wiser to approach the subject with some scepticism.

You get raised by wolves, you tend to become a wolf.
Do you know why wolves hunt in packs? It's because their favorite prey are too large to be brought down by one wolf alone.
Well, I'm saying that the Romans raised by wolves, they see a guy turning water into wine, what do they do? They eat him. 'Cause there are no saints in the animal kingdom. Only breakfast and dinner.
You're like the colt that can't keep up with the herd when the wolves arrive. And the wolves are circling, Josh.
OLD GRIZZLY ADAMS. [37-*] James C. Adams, or 'Grizzly Adams,' as he was generally termed, from the fact of his having captured so many grizzly bears, and encountered such fearful perils by his unexampled daring, was an extraordinary character. For many years a hunter and trapper in the Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountains, he acquired a recklessness which, added to his natural invincible courage, rendered him truly one of the most striking men of the age. He was emphatically what the English call a man of 'pluck.' In 1860, he arrived in New York with his famous collection of California animals, captured by himself, consisting of twenty or thirty immense grizzly bears, at the head of which stood 'Old Sampson”—now in the American Museum—wolves, half a dozen other species of bear, California lions, tigers, buffalo, elk, etc., and Old Neptune, the great sea-lion, from the Pacific.
We keep the wolves outside by living well.

This year I made my own birthday cake. How else are you supposed to get exactly the cake you want if you don’t make it yourself? Having returned from Puerto Rico that week, I wanted to keep up with the vegan deliciousness. Also, after eating so many whole foods and no processed sugar, cake and ice cream even seemed overly sweet to me. After running some birthday stadiums that morning (day before my birthday to be exact…), I set to work making my basic pie crust and trying to decide what the best possible filling would be.
It didn’t take long for me to decide on some sort of chocolate (I remembered how good the chilled chocolate raspberry pie was). Instead of raspberry, this time I went with strawberries. In an effort to replicate the ice cream cake that I usually have, I used frozen bananas to give it a similar consistency. Then I went crazy with decorating! The end result was a creamy, chocolatey, strawberry-filled healthy birthday pie. Not too sweet and as light and refreshing as the Puerto Rican beach.
We were also celebrating my aunt and uncle’s birthdays (so naturally we each got our own cake), and my aunt’s cake followed a similar chocolate covered strawberry trend. But this was a rich, flourless chocolate torte with real chocolate covered strawberries on top. I’ll admit, it was pretty fantastic even though I wasn’t used to eating extremely sweet things again. Definitely worth the food baby.
The best part about having your birthday party the day before your actual birthday? You can wake up and eat leftover cake for breakfast! And that’s exactly what I did. My covered in almond butter made an amazing birthday breakfast. Perfect for fueling my birthday activities.
Blend ingredients together and place in cooled crust. Freeze for about 10 minutes to harden slightly before putting on toppings.
Arrange strawberry slices on top of the chocolate banana mixture. Drizzle the dark chocolate over and sprinkle with coconut flakes. I also coated the crust with dark chocolate (highly recommended). Freeze for a few hours before serving. Enjoy for breakfast, dessert, or snack!

When patients refuse assessment of decision-making capacity : how should clinicians respond?
Abstract When patients refuse beneficial treatment, the assessment of decision-making capacity plays a key role in determining the best course of action. However, situations in which patients refuse to explain their reasons occur. This can make an assessment of capacity impossible. In such cases, clinicians find themselves in difficult situations without clear ethical guidance. Refusal to give reasons for refusing beneficial treatment has been seen as pointing to the absence of decision-making capacity. However, the reasons given for this are either unsatisfactory or insufficient to eliminate cases of genuine uncertainty. This article argues that although it cannot be concluded that such patients are incompetent, there are reasons to treat them as if they were. The basis of this possibility, however, points to several obligations for clinicians before such a situation can be said to exist.

You can twirl open the small triangle at the bottom of the video you applied the effect to and drag the ends of the effect to control the duration of the applied effect.
You could split the video twice and add a cursor animation to a section of video that way as a shortcut.I wouldn't recommend using it a lot. It shouldn't create any problems if you use it occasionally. To many cuts can lead to problems at times so it's best to avoid unnecessary ones.
You can also apply animation changes to the cursor by hitting "Shift + A" That will apply the arrow you are familiar with to the video clip and you can apply changes to the cursors properties.
You can adjust the cursor affect by dragging the end of the effect.
Each dot on the effect is where you clicked during recording.
So you can drag the ends of the cursor effect to encompass only one or multiple dots.
You can also apply the cursor effect more than once and adjust it if you want different effects at different clicks (dots).

Therese O’Donoghue is the owner of Paper Empire Australia. Paper Empire Australia represent Studio Snowpuppe, Faunascapes, Stefan Gevers, Sofie Boersting, FotoFactory, Monika Petersen and Foruu.
I run the business with my husband who is one of our artists (Stefan Gevers). I manage the day to day running, sales & creative direction. We develop print ranges, limited edition prints & small furniture. We are also agents for several international brands, but 80% of our range is made locally.
How did you start Paper Empire Australia?
Paper Empire started in late 2013 with the aim of promoting great art ranges. We began with 7 prints & 20 greeting cards. It was slow & steady for a while, then I came across 2 international brands that were unlike anything I’d seen locally. That tripled our range and helped create a pathway.
What is the inspiration behind your business? Why do you do what you do?
Artists are my inspiration. Having seen many struggle with the traditional gallery system, I thought there should be a middle road where affordable collections could be developed to support their practise & bring the wider public some great choice in art products. I set up Paper Empire to be involved with several industries I love – design, retail, interiors & art.
I was employed by an agency to represent other independent designers. Now I only represent myself & its so exciting!
What do you struggle the most within your business?
Finding balance! I work many hours & find it hard to switch off.
List 5 random things that you love….
Family Art Friends Great food Gallery crawling on a Saturday afternoon.
What does your dream life look to you?
Continuing the growth of my business with staff to help spread the load would be a dream! I dream of a showroom/retail space with my priority shifting to creative direction. A beautiful family holiday once a year would complete the dream!
What would you like your customers to know about your business (that they may not know already)?
I worked full time for first 18 months of my business. I’ve only been working full time in my own business for 1 year. It feels like a privilege.
Surviving the first year! We’ve met some incredible & supportive customers and establishing our first showroom has been a lot of fun.

When faced with the prospect of analyzing the current rise of ISIS, or the misinformed albeit widely accepted and perceived threat of Russia, or that of Iran, it is imperative that we keep in mind a few key points.
The preeminent strategy goal outlined therein is to “establish and protect a new order,” that accounts for “the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order.” The goal is to protect a world order in which the United States is the supreme power, and to stop any nation who seeks to challenge this dominance and overturn America’s preeminent position.
Given that it is true that America’s foremost goals are to protect its status on top of the global order, and also to halt any challenger or competitor (one may argue this point, or the relevance of the Wolfowitz doctrine today, but I think the US’ recent aggressive actions towards Russia, the continual expansion of NATO bases and their encirclement of Russia, coupled with the observations outlined in the Wolfowitz doctrine that, “Russia will remain the strongest military power in Eurasia and the only power in the world with the capability of destroying the United States,” provides stark evidence against this counter-argument.
Not to mention the imperialistic military adventurism aimed at controlling regions “whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to general global power,” such as was done in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, all of which attacked challengers to US hegemony and fostered US consolidation of Middle-Eastern oil resources.).
Therefore, in order to protect this new order and to discourage challenges to US leadership, an outside threat is necessitated in order to foster domestic popular support for the pursuit of power which the general public are usually apathetic towards.
The US has been misrepresenting its pursuit of global preeminence and containment of challengers by exploiting fake external threats since as far back as 1947; the misimpression of an external threat has been a key US foreign policy doctrine for over half a century.
Britain’s leading national security scholar Dr. Nafeez Ahmed further clarifies the United States’ role in actively coordinating the financing and arms shipments to the most virulent elements of the Syrian opposition, including al Qaeda linked groups al Nusra and ISIS, citing leaked Stratfor documents, Rand Corporation reports, mainstream media journalism, and Israeli intelligence as evidence.
A direct external threat is necessitated in order to justify and sell US military aggression abroad, and the so called “Global War on Terror,” a perpetual military doctrine aimed at fostering continual and never-ending war abroad, continues to deliver on this necessity.
Cockburn is referring to the US’ non-strategy of fighting ISIS by embracing key creators of the terrorist group such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Turkey, while distancing itself from those who are and have been fighting against ISIS, such as Syria, Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia. “President Obama promised less than a month ago “to degrade and destroy” the fundamentalists with air power, but Isis is still expanding and winning victories,” Cockburn concludes.
Given this, coupled with Vice President Biden’s and former CIA Station Chief Graham Fuller’s concessions that US policy in Syria of arming rebel oppositions was one of the lead causes of the rise of ISIS, Obama’s tactic of continuing this disastrous policy by funneling more aid to non-existent moderate rebels, utilizing key al Qeada-linked extremist funder Saudi Arabia to train such an opposition, further belies the stated claims of the Obama administration of acting to destroy the ISIS.

We have released a new flyer for the 24 volt versions of the Titan M125 starter motors.
Prestolite is proud to announce the release of the AVi555 line of internal fan alternators.
Available in J180 and Pad Mount* (*4th quarter 2013), these 12 volt, 170 amp units are built for today's heavy duty market.
Features include case ground for simple installation, high temperature rated for hotter running engines, and multiple connection terminals for B+ and ground cables.
For a generation, the Leece-Neville 555 (triple-nickel) alternators have set a benchmark against which all heavy duty truck alternators have been measured. Unsurpassed in output, durability and reliability, the original triple-nickel alternators have provided our customers with the security of a solid, stable product line that they have been able to trust for over 20 years, with millions of units sold.
Leece-Neville is now building on that proud heritage, and is pleased to announce the release of the new AVi555 alternator. Featuring an internal fan design, this compact unit provides the same maximum output as the original 555 in a package that reduces overall weight by over 16%.
The AVi555 has been designed from the ground up to fit a wide variety of applications, to give our customers the greatest flexibility with the fewest part numbers.
We have released a new flyer for the 12 volt versions of the Titan M125 starter motors.
Our customers wanted some of our new M110R starter motors with over crank protection, so we did it. Introducing the new M110R starter motors with OCP.
M110R2603SE (M110603) is our OCP version of the M110R2615SE (M110615) for Cummins ISX (11.9L), ISM, CAT C12 and C13, and Detroit S60 (11L, 12.7L and 14L).
M110R2604SE (M110604) is our OCP version of the M110R2601SE (M110601) for the MBE4000 up to 14L engines on Freightliner, Sterling and Western Star.
The M110R starters are for heavy duty applications and all come standard with indexible flanges and relays, so versatility and power are in one incredible unit. See the attached flyers and product announcements for more details.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new model of the M110R starter motor. The M110R2601SE is a 12V, 7kW starter designed to fit the Freightliner, Sterling and Western Star MBE4000 engines.
See the attached flyer and product announcement for more details.
Prestolite / Leece-Neville Buyers Guide 2011 now available for download!
An updated 2011 version of our popular Buyers Guide is now available for download. The new version features additional information about the M105 starter motor and the AVI160 series of alternators.
One of the improved features of the guide is a reference showing all available clocking positions for each of the Titan 105 and Titan 125 starter motors (see page 45).
As always please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new model of the M110R starter motor. The M110R2615SE is a 12V, 7kW starter designed to fit the Cummins ISX(11.9L), ISM and N14 engines, CAT C12, C13, and Detroit S60 (11L, 12.7L, 14L).
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new model of the M105R starter motor. The M105602 is designed to fit International DT466, 530,570, Maxxforce DT9/10 engines. Cummins ISC and ISL, as well as, Caterpillar 3208 power plants. See the attached flyer for more details.
The Titan 125 12 volt starter motor has been updated for 2010. Our flagship gear reduced starter motor is under a constant quality improvement regimen to maintain its position as the strongest, most durable heavy duty starter on the market.
Most of these improvements are 'under the hood' and will be transparent to installer and end users, but one feature that we know will help in many applications is the new set up for the mag switch relay. We've moved it toward the front of the solenoid to reduce vibration, and we've mounted it on a rotatable flange that will make the starter much easier to install in those tight locations.
We've also been including an OCP bypass plug with this unit for some time now, but in typical Leece-Neville fashion have not made a big deal about it. The Titan 125 starters have OCP (Over-crank protection) built into the internal wiring of the motor itself, making an external connection unnecessary. This means that on those trucks that have an existing wiring circuit for an OCP bypass, when you pull off the old starter you'll have a two wire harness that won't have a place to plug into the Titan 125. For those cases we've included a bypass cap that will plug into this harness to complete the circuit.
That's right, we throw one into every box. Well, you're welcome!
Anyway, to find out more you can download the technical bulletin below or get all of the M125 detailed specifications, cross references and related materials on the main product page.
Make sure you let us know if you have any questions or comments.
We have created a detailed installation sheet (TSB-1142) that shows step-by-step instructions for installing our new 230 amp, 12 volt AVI160 internal fan alternator on an International CityStar truck.
The AVI160T2002-3 is supplied with the mounting adapter kit that may be necessary to complete the installation. The installation sheet is complete with photographs from an actual installation performed by one of our field application specialists.

Last month, Tom Grant completed a First descent of Mt. Aoraki’s notorious Caroline Face with fellow Brit Ben Briggs and Italian Enrico Mosetti. The Caroline Face was the last to be scaled by mountaineers due to its propensity for avalanches and numerous unstable seracs and in 2013, a failed attempt to descend the face led to the death of skier Magnus Kastengren.
Based in Chamonix, Tom specializes in steep skiing and offers custom private guiding, from rock climbing to remote ski mountaineering expeditions. His ski mountaineering highlights include first descents in Mont Blanc Massif, New Zealand, and on Baffin Island, Canada.
Exweb caught up with Tom to talk to him about his achievement on the Caroline Face, the preparations that went into it and the risks his friends and he faced.
ExWeb: You are based in Chamonix and have achieved some first descents in the Mont Blanc Massif. How do the NZ mountains compare to those in Europe? Specifically, what was special about the Caroline Face?
Tom Grant: Well, nothing compares to Chamonix, it’s my hometown and the mountains have a special place in my heart! The scale of the mountains and quality of the terrain is comparable in both NZ and the European Alps. The access is way better in the Alps with massive telepheriques and funicular railways whisking us up to steep 1000m lines in a matter of minutes. The Southern Alps of NZ are more wild and rugged and access to the huts and good skiing is sometimes extremely arduous and treacherous! Climate change is having a big impact everywhere, but the sheer speed the glaciers are retreating in NZ is something else, leaving behind colossal, teetering moraine walls of death. Dealing with these was probably the most dangerous thing we did all trip.
By any global standard for a skiable face, the Caroline is absolutely massive! It’s bigger than any face in the European Alps, except maybe the East Face of Monterosa which is a far more simple descent. It is also highly skiable with big, beautiful slopes which are very attractive to ski down. The Face also has a mythical status, steeped in mountaineering history and stories from previous ski attempts. Worth travelling halfway across the world for!
ExWeb: Could you talk us through your descent of the Caroline Face, from preparation to execution?
Tom: Route finding was one of the cruxes, we had to nail that and be sure that we could find a reasonably safe way through the middle serac band. This meant that we had to do our homework scouting the line, we flew by the Caroline and then made two trips to the bottom of it. I had looked hard at the face two years ago, trying to imagine a way to ski it. Ross Hewitt and I envisaged another line that we wanted to try in 2015. But this year the gods were smiling on us and the heinous and dangerous middle serac band had developed to form a nice gulley to ski into and safely make one 40m rappel. This was the key to unlocking the entire descent since we wouldn’t have attempted to rappel over a crumbling serac band, taller than our ropes are long.
It still wasn’t always obvious which way to go once on the face, but we have a lot of mileage between us on big descents and we managed to always find the right way to go. We had wanted to try and ski in direct from the top of the East Ridge, but when we climbed there, it was obviously too icy and probably hardly ever holds snow.
The climb up also wasn’t trivial, the East Ridge is a long and committing route in its own right. It took us longer than we thought because of deep breakable crust and fresh snow creating delicate snow aretes.
ExWeb: Do you have any advice for anyone who might want to retrace your descent?
Tom: Mountaineering skills are every bit as important as ski ability on a line like this, so make sure they are dialed. A face this big should ideally be skied in cold snow conditions to give some consistency of quality of snow on the descent. Otherwise the snow could be too hard high up and too soft lower down in spring conditions. So best to wait for a relatively lowish isotherm and stable weather. Be sure to have a lot of previous experience on big and committing faces, the Caroline isn’t something you can jump straight into without years of steep skiing experience and alpine climbing experience. And scout the line thoroughly!
ExWeb: Talking of which, risk management is a key theme that runs through every form of exploration we cover at ExWeb. Your relationship with risk has probably changed over the years – especially now that you are a father. What was your approach to risk management on the Caroline Face?
Tom: Dying has never been an option for me, but I’m more keenly aware of my own mortality than before I think being a father accentuates that. Skiing faces as big and as committing as the Caroline isn’t something I’d want to do all the time. However, I feel we had a good safety margin. We needed stable snow on the face, took an educated guess that would be the case and got it right. On the lower face, we were under some nasty looking seracs, but only for perhaps 20 minutes. There is no rhyme or reason as to when seracs fall so the only thing to do was to minimize our time under them. That meant skiing fast and not getting lost.
ExWeb: So after it was all done, how did you celebrate after your success?
Tom: We had a few drinks and found ourselves at a karaoke party at the Chamois Bar. Our team preformed a stellar version of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline.
ExWeb: I am sure it was sublime! Did any of your equipment give you a key advantage?
Tom: I’ve been using the new Scarpa Maestrale RS which are the best ski boot I’ve ever used for a balance of climbability and skiability. I also love the Black Crows Corvus for steep skiing, it’s so solid and stable and can charge through anything. For bindings, I swear by the Plum Guide for being the most reliable and minimalist pin binding around. I trust my life to these day in, day out. For climbing a long alpine route with skis, I need two technical ice axes to confidently climb through steeper ground but they also need to be light. I absolutely love my new Grivel North Machine tools for this sort of up-and-over mission.
ExWeb: Thanks Tom, and all the best for your future adventures!

Psychological stress can exacerbate skin disorders, including hives, eczema, psoriasis, urticaria (itching), acne and rosacea. “It is very common for my patients with psoriasis or eczema to have a bad flare of their disease during a stressful life event, such as caring for a sick family member or the death of a loved one,” said Carmen A. Traywick, M.D. of May River Dermatology.
Tens of millions of Americans suffer from skin ailments and two of the most serious and common are basal and squamous cell cancers which usually form on the head, face, neck, hands and arms. Another type of skin cancer, melanoma, is more dangerous but less common.
SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF CANCER WITH 1.3M CASES EACH YEAR IN THE U.S.
Childhood sunburns are a big risk factor for skin cancer, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Enduring one or more blistering sunburns in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing potentially-deadly melanoma later in life. Skin cancer knows no boundaries.
“The incidence of all types of skin cancer is increasing due to exposure to the sun and genetic factors. We now know that people who regularly use tanning beds have a 40 fold increase in the incidence of melanoma,” said Dr. Traywick.
Everyone should be checked for skin cancer with regular examinations of the skin for any new or unusual growths or changes in existing moles. If you find anything suspicious, you should discuss it with your primary care physician, a dermatologist (skin doctor) or a health care professional who is qualified to recognize the signs of skin cancer and diagnose the disease at an earlier, less invasive stage. Dermatologists have an extensive knowledge of skin ailments and the healing process. Treatment options include scraping, freezing, burning, radiation, and excision. But once a skin cancer becomes invasive, surgery is the treatment of choice.
Two types of surgical procedures are available for treating skin cancer: the standard incision and Mohs Micrographic Surgery. “If the cancer is in a sensitive area like an eyelid or the tip of a nose, the standard incision is not the best option,” said Oswald L. Mikell, M.D. of Dermatology Associates of the Low Country who performs micrographic surgery right here on Hilton Head.
“Mohs performed by dermatologists treats skin cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas and offers the highest cure rate,” said Dr. Traywick who also performs Mohs.
With almost a 100% cure rate, the most effective surgery for skin cancer in high-risk areas like the head and neck, eyes, ears, lips and nose is Mohs micrographic surgery. “You wouldn’t want to take a big chunk out around your eye and have a sagging eyelid if you can avoid it,” said Dr. Mikell. Mohs is also recommended for recurrent tumors, large or irregular tumors, aggressive and rare tumors. The procedure ensures the removal of all affected tissue while leaving healthy skin intact, resulting in faster healing time, less scarring and a low probability of the cancer returning.
“Once you are sure the cancer is gone, you want to go in and follow-up with the best cosmetic technique to close,” said Dr. Mikell.
Another skin care concern is dehydration. Too much sun dries out your skin and makes it prone to the signs of dehydration: tightness, irritation, flakiness and dry lines. To protect the skin, sunscreen should be applied each morning.
In addition to reactions to the sun, skin is also sensitive to personal and environmental triggers. Environmental triggers could be a bad smell, pet hair or exposure to an allergen, germ or poison.
Personal triggers could be anything from the stress of giving a speech or finishing a project with a deadline. The interaction between the mind and the skin is powerful.
In fact, the mind may exert a greater influence on the skin than any other organ. Like your body’s other organs, the skin communicates with the brain and immune system.
Under stress, the brain directs blood flow and nutrients to vital areas of the body. “Non-essential” organs, such as the skin, receive less blood flow and nutrients, including oxygen. Chronic environmental or psychological stress may accelerate aging, making skin less supple, less hydrated.
Premature aging skin also may be accelerated by UV light, poor nutrition, and genetics, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. The most obvious signs of skin aging are wrinkles and sagging skin.
Every day tens of thousands of dead skin cells shed as tiny flakes to allow cells at the bottom of the skin’s epidermis to grow, move to the surface and differentiate into new skin cells. The constant renewal maintains the skin’s permeability barrier to prevent dehydration and protect against environmental irritants.
The best prevention for skin ailments and disease is avoiding the sun, managing stress, good nutrition, and seeing your dermatologist on a regular basis to check for suspicious moles in places on your body that you can’t see. He or she can also suggest anti-aging products that you can’t find over-the-counter.

Beeke in bad company - and taking good men with him!!
In September past, Joel Beeke was advertised as preaching at Bell Creek Community Church in Livonia, Michigan, USA.
Bell Creek Community Church is firmly in the “contemporary worship” camp! Clanging cymbals and raucous guitars are all the rage there.
Throughout this church website there are references to the “Desiring God” website as these images illustrate.
“Desiring God” is the website of John Piper. Bell Creek Community Church is clearly in the “New Calvinist” camp!
Piper has been repudiated by fundamentalists of the old school because of his music and his associations with men whose theology is questionable.
Joel Beeke places himself in the Piper camp when he preaches at a church which openly associates with and promotes John Piper’s teaching.
It is not so very long ago that Dr Beeke indicated to some ministers of the Free Presbyterian Church of North America, when challenged by them about his associations with Piper, that he basically repudiated Piper’s ministry and yet he is happy to promote his books through his Reformation Heritage Books’ site and likewise promotes Piper and becomes associated with his ministry by preaching at Bell Creek Community Church.
Links to The Gospel Coalition Blog on the Bell Creek Community Church website also signify its spiritual pedigree!
This coalition is very much a mixed bag!! Amongst its Council members are many signatories of the Manhattan Declaration, a thoroughly ecumenical socio/religious document which prominent members of the Roman Catholic Church and other theological vagabonds have signed, as a perusal of the list of signatories will soon reveal.
Dr Beeke has become illustrative of the character in John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress”, Mr Facing-Both-Ways!
It just depends upon whom he is speaking to as to which way he is facing!
How Dr. Beeke’s meetings were announced on the Emmanuel Church website.
In September of this year, Dr Beeke visited England for a conference in Emmanuel Church, Salisbury, where the minister is Mr Malcolm Watts. He spoke at a number of meetings there on 27th and 28th September.
However, before the meeting in Emmanuel on 27th, he spoke at an Elim Pentecostal church in the afternoon.
Again, we have Dr Beeke associating himself with the unscriptural music of the modern “contemporary church” scene with its “worship band” as well as endorsing the theological errors of modern Pentecostalism.
An announcement taken from the Facebook site of Elim Christian Centre, Salisbury.
The website also lists a woman as its Assistant Pastor.
The Elim Christian Centre in Salisbury states on its website that it is part of the Elim Church movement. On this Elim site you have an example of the music that doubtless the Elim Christian Centre indulges in. See this link.
The Elim Church in Salisbury is openly in the ecumenical camp for it promotes the “Alpha Course” which is heavily endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church. Furthermore, the Elim church in England is listed as being a member of the “Churches Together in England” organisation.
This is the body which replaced the “British Council of Churches” in 1990 and which coordinates ecumenical events and happenings in England.
Dr Beeke is really in bad company here!!
Therefore, this engagement by Dr Beeke at the Elim Christian Centre in Salisbury seems completely incompatible with his speaking, but some 4 hours later, at Mr Malcolm Watts’ church conference.
Mr Watts, in an article entitled, “The Crumbling of Evangelicalism”, set forth his views on Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement and the harm they had done to the cause of God’s Truth very clearly.
In recent years, due to repeated attacks on fundamental biblical doctrine and principle, the cause of Truth among us has been terribly undermined. The results are for all to see. Ministers and churches, once known for their faithful stand, have been moved from their formerly held positions (in many cases without realising it) and are now in a state of complete confusion.
Mr Watts then lists three movements he deems responsible for the attacks on Biblical doctrine which have resulted in the undermining of the cause of Truth - 1. The Ecumenical Movement. 2. The Charismatic Movement. 3. The Neo-Evangelical Movement.
“The second movement responsible for shaking the foundations of the evangelical world is the charismatic movement. As a modern variant of Pentecostalism, this movement swept through Christendom in the 1960s and 1970s under the ministries of men like David du Plessis, Michael Harper and David Watson. It resembles Pentecostalism in its emphasis on one post-conversion experience and the consequent reception of spiritual gifts, notably the gift of tongues. It differs, however, in its international character and open ecumenical associations.
A few years ago some were saying that the charismatic movement was dying, but, phoenix-like, it seems to have risen from its own ashes, first in the form of the house church movement, and more recently in the form of the restoration movement. While maintaining its basic charismatic features it has also developed a belief in the restoration of apostolic and prophetic ministries as being vital for the establishment of God’s kingdom.
Within evangelicalism, attitudes towards the charismatic movement have changed. At first there was high-level criticism and even denunciation. In the 1960s, for example, Dr Stephen Short wrote against ‘the doctrinal error into which many in recent times have fallen respecting the subject of baptism in the Spirit’.
Mr Watts calls the Charismatic Movement “a modern variant of Pentecostalism” and of course it is just that. Charismatics hold the same basic doctrines on the Holy Spirit as do Pentecostalists. The many condemnations he lists in his article against Charismaticism can, with equal justification, be levelled against the Elim Pentecostal church at which Dr Beeke spoke just before his speaking at the conference services in Mr Watts’ church. That church is in the the ecumenical camp by its links with “The Alpha Course” and its involvement with the Roman Catholic Church.
Does this mark a shift in Mr Watts’ position? Who can deny that it must!
The Salisbury Elim Centre where Dr Beeke fellowshipped holds many doctrines in common with those who are rightly condemned for their betrayal of the truth of God by Mr Watts in his article. By having Dr Beeke, Mr Watts and his church have associated themselves in fellowship with the very movements which heretofore they condemned.
What Mr Watts has to say in the first section of his article, entitled: “The Ecumenical Movement”, on men changing their positions toward the errors promoted by ecumenism is worth reading carefully. It highlights in the recent past what men such as Joel Beeke are repeating in our day and which Mr Watts is apparently in grave danger of endorsing!
Near the conclusion of Mr Watts’ article, “The Crumbling of Evangelicalism”, he writes these words.
Secondly, let us contend for the biblical doctrine of separation. One of the greatest weaknesses of evangelicalism in recent times has been the failure to take a separated stand from apostasy, yet the Word of God is absolutely clear on this. We are told to separate from all co-operation in religious activities with those who deny the cardinal truths of the Christian faith, and no consideration of expedience should ever incline us to do otherwise.
The apostle Paul tells us to - mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them (that is - have nothing to do with them) (Romans 16:17). There is to be no fellowship at all with those in serious doctrinal error. We must - come out from among them, and be... separate (2 Corinthians 6:17).
We are not to receive them (2 John 10). We are to reject them (Titus 3:10). If any man... consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness... withdraw thyself (1 Timothy 6:3, 5).
Scripture therefore forbids us to be in any kind of association with those who are doctrinally unsound; and to disobey the Word of God in these matters is to be guilty of sin.
This duty raises another matter. What should our attitude be to those who are apparently evangelical believers, and yet who disregard all these commands, choosing to remain alongside unbelieving people in doctrinally mixed church associations? We should certainly try, by every possible means, to win them over to the scriptural position on separation. But if they turn a deaf ear to God’s Word, though we know them to be fellow-Christians, we shall be obliged to show our disapproval by restricting public and church fellowship with them. If any man obey not our word by this epistle, writes Paul, note that man, and have no company with him (literally: be not mixed up with him), that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother (2 Thessalonians 3:14-15).
We concur wholeheartedly with these sentiments but we believe also that they are incompatible with an associating with Dr Joel Beeke who, despite numerous warnings and admonitions, has persisted in companying with and the promotion of those whose theology and behaviour are unscriptural.
Mr Watts, it must be said, must be honoured for the sterling work that he has done for the cause of Christ through his ministerial labours and writings and also his work in The Trinitarian Bible Society. We do not hesitate to say this. It is therefore all the more distressful to see his stand threatened by his links with Joel Beeke and his compromising ministry.
Sadly, he is but one of many, who despite brotherly warnings seem to have decided to “turn a deaf ear to God’s Word” and refused to heed the evidence produced to support the warnings of Joel Beeke’s wrong.
No good can come of this. We are heading for a repeat of the folly wrought by many in the wake of Billy Graham’s errant ways.
Mr Watts is but one of many who has been brought into company he otherwise would have nothing to do with as a result of his fellowship with Dr Joel Beeke.
When will he, and the others like him, say with Joshua, “ . . choose you this day whom ye will serve . . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD,” Joshua 24:15, KJV.
No matter how our words may be construed, the Lord knows the desires of our heart.

Mobile World Congress 2018 kicks off today, Feb. 26, and runs through the end of the week. Why is this annual event, which is a showcase for mobile technology, one big investment signal? On the surface, the event will once again focus on the growing number of connected devices, and we suspect several new flagship models for smartphones will be announced from the likes of Samsung, LG, Huawei and others.
Already we've heard of several from Samsung, including its new flagship model the Galaxy S9 that includes an organic light-emitting diode display that should help alleviate demand concerns and support Universal Display (OLED) shares, a holding in the Trifecta Stocks portfolio. As more companies such as Nokia (NOK) , Huawei, LG and others announce devices, both flagship and other, at the event, we suspect year-over-year more models will include organic light-emitting diode displays. Of course, we'll look to confirm that suspicion and as we do so we'll take note of the number of models that have larger screen sizes as well as front and back glass housings, a positive for Trifecta holding Corning (GLW) .
We're also likely to get a hefty dose of "techy talk" on 5G as carriers such as AT&T (T) , Verizon (VZ) , Sprint (S) and T-Mobile USA (TMUS) will launch commercial 5G networks in 2019. In tandem we should expect press releases and at least a few breakthrough announcements from the likes of Ericsson (ERIC) , Alcatel Lucent (ALU) and others when it comes to 5G data speeds and their network solutions. Cisco Systems (CSCO) did some of that yesterday. We'll be watching this flow of information with regard to shares of specialty contractor Dycom Industries (DY) as that company derives the bulk of its business from building networks for AT&T, Verizon and Comcast (CMCSA) .
Dycom will report its quarterly earnings later this week, and we've held off adding the shares to our active portfolio as we expect the business to be negatively impacted by the harsh winter temps experienced late in the fourth quarter and early in the current quarter. As that is factored into the consensus view, we'll look to revisit DY.
With each next-generation mobile technology we've seen a dramatic expansion in what can be done wirelessly. In the 2G world it was voice and text. With 3G we saw the debut of the true mobile internet and the start of apps. With 4G/LTE the app transformation continued and streaming content, both video and music ranging from video calling to watching the latest TV or film to bopping along to your favorite songs as you walk down the street.
Faster network speeds and greater bandwidth have been a key enabler and the result has been a near quenchless thirst for data and content. So much so that we see extreme user frustration when our smartphones drop down to 4G or even 3G from an LTE connection. One would think anarchy was about to ensue. 5G networks with far faster data speeds compared to 4G/LTE are poised to push the mobile boundaries even further.
At Mobile World Congress 2017, Samsung showcased its 5G Home Routers, which achieved speeds of up to 4 gigabits (GBs) per second -- that's 500 megabytes per second. Translated into real world speak that would let you download a 50 GB game in under two minutes, or a 100 GB 4K movie in under four minutes.
How does that stack up against the average internet speed in the U.S.? As of 2016 that speed was 55 megabits per second, which translates to a woeful 6.5 megabytes per second.
This means 5G networks will more than likely foster another sea change in what, how, where and perhaps even why mobile technology is used. Applications already being bandied about include the Internet of Things with applications ranging from connected farms and smart cities to the remote control of heavy machinery and enabling autonomous vehicles. These all require 5G capable chips in devices and incremental network infrastructure, including backhaul that will drive wireline and optical demand.
Will we see more cord cutting as 5G networks go mainstream and even more mobile content consumption? Will we see connectivity in a growing number of devices around the home, in the workplace, in factories and in the car?
Our view is a resounding YES and we see this as a positive for at least four of our other portfolio holdings. As we move out of 4Q 2017 earnings season, we'll look to evaluate other companies that are positioned to ride this tailwind.

Chiefswood Stable’s homebred Tiz a Slam lasted on the lead in the $175,000 Nijinsky Stakes (Grade 2) to score his second straight graded stakes win on Sunday afternoon at Woodbine Racetrack.
Overlooked at odds of 10-1, Tiz a Slam followed up his Grade 3 Dominion Day Stakes victory over 1-1/4 miles on the Tapeta with another front-end effort in the Nijinsky, leading for 1-1/2 miles on the turf in 2:29.06.
With jockey Steven Bahen aboard, the Roger Attfield trainee set fractions of :25.85, :51.97, 1:17.19, 1:42.23 and 2:05.83 along the way while turning back challenger Bangkok.
The season-debuting European Group 1 stakes winner Mekhtaal rallied late to snag the runner-up role just ahead of Johnny Bear, who won last year’s Grade 1 Northern Dancer Turf Stakes. The winner’s stablemate, Final Copy, finished fourth.
Bred in Ontario by the 2017 Sovereign Award-winning owner Chiefswood Stable, the four-year-old Tiznow-Flaming Rose colt boasts wins in one-third of his 18 career starts and more than $800,000 in earnings. He also won the Cup and Saucer Stakes at age two and the Grade 3 Ontario Derby last year.
Tiz a Slam paid $22.70, $10.60 and $7.50. He combined with second choice Mekhtaal ($6.60, $4.60) for a 6-4 exacta worth $119.90. Johnny Bear ($4.60) completed the 6-4-2 trifecta, which paid $292.80 for a $1 ticket. With Final Copy finishing fourth, a $1 superfecta of 6-4-2-1 returned $1,041.90.
Seeking Albert, Bangkok, Pumpkin Rumble and 8-5 favourite Vettori Kin completed the order of finish.

Our Sister Joan Chittister has a new book just released this week: The Art of Life. It is the 2011 Monastic Way, which is always valued by readers since it brings the monthly pamphlet into a more permanent edition.
Many of her annual Monastic Ways are in book form but what amazed me about this one is that the publishers, Twenty-Third Publications in Connecticut, spent the extra money to buy the rights to all the art work on which the year's reflections were based. I'm sure many of the readers will be surprised when they open the book and find it full of the full-color reproductions of the master works. It makes the book just beautiful and much more than written reflections.
Isn't this google doodle a beauty? From India.
If you haven't been on our community website almost daily this week you're missing many new posts. There has been a great deal of activity these days--WOW!

A formula of the language of propositional calculus taking the truth value "true" independently of the truth values "true" or "false" taken by its propositional variables. Examples: $A\supset A$, $A\lor\neg A$, $(A\supset B)\supset(\neg B\supset\neg A)$.
In general one can check whether a given propositional formula is a tautology by simply examining its truth table: the finite set of all combinations of values of its propositional variables. It is usual to give a presentation of propositional calculus which is both sound: every theorem deducible in the system is a tautology; and complete: every tautology is a theorem.

Evan Evans was a native of Carno in Montgomeryshire, Wales, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1881. He and his wife, Annie (whose maiden name was also Evans), lived in Bratenahl, Ohio. Their granddaughter told me that they took the train out to California on vacation more than once. This was taken at the Cawston Ostrich Farm in South Pasadena, probably in the late 1920s. It looks like they were in for a fun ride, doesn’t it? It’s one of my favorite photos.
Perched high atop a cliff overlooking the rugged coastline of France, the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is a place that defies all superlatives. Everything about it is staggering: the size, the number of graves, the way the sheer beauty of the place contrasts with the desperate battle that waged just below, on Omaha Beach. Looking out over the English Channel on a peaceful day, it's hard to imagine the bloodshed of June 6, 1944.
Visitors enter through a museum that tries to bring some of that enormity down to size. A video tells the stories of a few individual soldiers. World War II uniforms, ration packs, medical kits, letters, equipment, maps, photographs, and more depict the build-up to D-Day and the execution of Operation Overlord. The museum alone could absorb half a day of contemplation. And somehow, it still doesn’t prepare you for what’s next.
For beyond the museum doors lies a sea of green grass and white marble headstones, seemingly without end. Stretched out in neat rows are 9,387 Latin crosses and Stars of David, each marking the final resting place of an American serviceman. Many are unknown. A reverent hush lies over the place as visitors wander through, some looking for a special grave, some just trying to take it all in. There is no doubt that this is sacred ground.
The markers are engraved only with the person’s name, company or division, state, and date of death. Perhaps, as someone suggested to us, it was believed that including the date of birth would make the cemetery seem overwhelmingly sad. We were reminded that 60 percent of the Americans who perished in Europe were sent back to the states for burial, so the ones buried here represent only a fraction of the total losses.
The Memorial, which sits in front of a large reflecting pool, features a striking statue depicting “The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves.” Engraved tablets record the names of 1,557 missing in action, while stone maps show the positions of the D-Day landings and air operations. Fresh flowers at the base of the statue express gratitude to the sacrifices of the World War II generation. The families of Dachau concentration camp victims and survivors send a new arrangement every week.
Two American flags fly proudly over the cemetery. At the end of each day, the flags are lowered, one at a time, while a single trumpet plays Taps.
It’s a sight and sound I hope I never forget, and one that seems especially poignant on Memorial Day. Thank you, all who served, and especially those who rest today in Normandy.

What is it about a genealogy conference that generates such excitement? Why do people invest the time and money to attend one? What benefits might a genealogy conference hold for you? These are all great questions. If you haven’t been to a large national conference before, you naturally might wonder what the experience is like.
The chance to learn more about records, resources, and skills that can help with your family history research: Many of the presentations at a conference show where and how to find the information you seek on your family. Others focus on developing the skills needed to interpret, analyze, and use information successfully. This can help you make new breakthroughs, reach conclusions, and become a better researcher. You can also learn how to share and publish your family history.
The chance to hear some of the biggest and brightest genealogical speakers: Conferences like FGS 2013 feature nationally-recognized authors and speakers, which means you’ll hear dynamic lectures that will educate and entertain you at the same time—often with a good dose of humor.
The chance to see the latest products, books, and technological innovations: The Exhibit Hall at FGS will be packed with exhibitors showcasing their items, including software, maps, reference guides, books on localities and ethnic research, publishing companies, and online database leaders like Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, and FindMyPast.com. You can see demonstrations, talk to representatives, and ask all the questions you like.
The chance to meet and socialize with others who share your interest in family history: A conference is the perfect place to make new friends. It’s as easy as talking to the person sitting next to you, sharing a table at lunch, or striking up a conversation in the hallway. Luncheons and casual evening social events make it even easier to get to know people who share your passion.
The chance to gather ideas to strengthen your local society: A unique feature of FGS is that it offers a full day of programming (on Wednesday, August 21) geared toward genealogical and historical societies. You can get ideas on websites, projects, social media, publishing, funding, and more to take home to your society. Even if you don't belong to a society (and you certainly don't have to to attend FGS), you can pick up tips for some of your own projects.
The chance to research in a world-class library: Ft. Wayne, Indiana is the home of the Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library, one of the nation’s top genealogical libraries. Extended hours (until midnight on three nights!) and close proximity to the conference hall means you can hop over and research to your heart’s content. It’s sure to be a happening place.
The bottom line is that a genealogy conference is fun. Yes, you learn a lot from the presentations, and that’s good. But it’s just the beginning of what you get out of the conference experience. My first FGS Conference was the 2011 event in Springfield, Illinois. I was hesitant to sign up, because I didn't really know anyone. Yet I came home energized and ready to dive into my research, armed with new tools and techniques. And I had made a bunch of new friends, just from saying hi and introducing myself—because it turns out that people who like genealogy, by and large, are really friendly! Even though we live in different states, we’ve kept in touch, and several of us are looking forward to meeting again at the 2013 FGS Conference. All that came from taking a little leap of faith and registering for that first conference.
So will I see you in Ft. Wayne in August?
Forensic Genealogy: CSI Meets Roots (S08), by Colleen Fitzpatrick—I’ve seen Colleen speak before, and she never fails to amaze me. Her whole way of looking at things is so eye-opening. She analyzed several photographs for tiny clues which allowed her to identify and date them, showed how she created a database to determine why deaths were occurring in an 1851 community, and then explained a simple and useful model for interpreting DNA results. All in one lecture. As a former rocket scientist, Colleen brings a scientific outlook to her research questions, using the tools of biology, mathematics, and probability in addition to the social sciences tools of geography, history, and culture. It’s a powerful combination, and one I’d like to try to apply with some of my stickier research problems. If this sounds interesting to you, I’d recommend Colleen’s books, Forensic Genealogy and The Dead Horse Investigation: Forensic Photo Analysis for Everyone. If you’re going to be at either the NGS or FGS Conference, look for them at Maia’s Books in the exhibit hall.
A Reasonably Exhaustive 3-D Search: Four Fawkner Wives (S20), by Jay Fonkert—Jay presented a fascinating case study of how he correlated the triple points of time, geography, and associates to track a family back in time from state to state to uncover the four marriages of an ancestor. I really enjoyed seeing his methodology in action. His lecture reminded me that some of the best clues can come from unlikely places, such as a single phrase in the testimony of a witness, and that solving a complex case requires researching multiple generations of a family. Sometimes you have to go forward in order to move back. Jay’s findings on this case were published in an article in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly in September 2011. This lecture complemented the article well, showing the research process behind it—how he approached and answered each successive question along the way to reach his conclusions. I left feeling like I’d heard “the rest of the story”—and it was a great one. I’d like to see more in-depth methodology studies like this at conferences.
Documents to Narrative: Writing to Engage Your Reader (S23), by Warren Bittner—My conference experience ended on a high note with this inspiring presentation on good writing techniques. Warren gave us seven key points to keep in mind when writing a family history story, and walked us through the writing process, from the first sentence through editing and re-writing. He provided plenty of examples to illustrate his points. It’s always good to get an infusion of energy, advice, and practical tips on good writing, especially as it applies to genealogy. Warren’s lecture provided that in abundance.
In case you missed them, I also wrote about my experiences in “OGS 2013 Conference: Day One” and “OGS 2013 Conference: Day Two.” Another highlight of my weekend was receiving an Honorable Mention award for an article I submitted to the annual OGS Writing Contest. The article, “Turning Forests into Farms: The George Clark Family of Licking and Delaware Counties, Ohio,” will be published in the Ohio Genealogical Society Quarterly later this year. The contest this year only had a first place winner and honorable mentions (no second or third place), which is different from previous years. I was honored by the recognition and am delighted to know the article will be published.
Thanks again to the Hamilton County Genealogical Society for hosting such a nice conference. I'll be listening with interest to reports from those lucky enough to be attending the NGS Conference in Las Vegas later this week. And I’m already gearing up for the FGS 2013 Conference in Ft. Wayne, which I’ll be going to August 21-24. It promises to be a great one. More on that in future posts!
First Steps in Indiana Research (F06), by Harold Henderson—Harold’s talk was full of inside information and tips for using Indiana repositories and resources, both online and in person. He actually had me enthused about doing Indiana research at 8:30 in the morning—and that’s no easy task, believe me (a morning person I am not). I won’t give away his last line, but let’s just say we all left the room chuckling. Harold will also be giving this lecture at FGS 2013 in Ft. Wayne, for those of you who might be able to catch it there. And, he’s written a handy and thorough guide to researching at the Allen County Public Library that he’s offering as a free download on his website, www.midwestroots.net. I’m searching for clues on an ancestor in Indiana, so I really benefited from the guidance of Harold’s experience.
The War of 1812: America’s “Forgotten” War (F12), by Peggy Clemens Lauritzen—Well, if I wasn’t awake already, I would have been five minutes into this talk—and by the end, I was on fire. Peggy presented a riveting, fast-paced synopsis of War of 1812 history, including the various fronts, battles, issues, and key moments. I think I learned more about the War of 1812 in this one hour than I could have in several hours of reading. She also touched on bounty land applications and other resources for finding information about a War of 1812 soldier or sailor. I’m in the process of analyzing my first War of 1812 pension file, so I found this lecture especially timely. I could easily have sat through another hour or two.
Publish & Place Your Family History Writeup (F17), by Sunny McClellan Morton—I felt like I hit a home run on Friday morning after enjoying Sunny’s enthusiastic and informative lecture. She presented a variety of ways to get your family history story out of your head and into print, including some easy, non-intimidating formats. Her talk was full of practical tips and encouraging words. If you’ve hesitated to write a story because it seemed too complicated, or didn’t know how or where to get it published, you might reconsider after hearing what Sunny has to say. As a bonus, she’s generously posted the slides for her presentation on her website, www.sunnymorton.com (click on “Speaking Engagements” to find the link) for the month of May. That way, if you order the CD of her presentation, you’ll have the slides to match. It’s the next best thing to being there.
Over the Top: Researching Your World War I Ancestor (F27), by Michael Strauss—this was a good introduction to the records created about World War I soldiers and sailors. Michael went over where to find online databases, as well as the records that have never been microfilmed or digitized, and talked about what information they might hold. My great-uncle, Roy Eberhard, served in World War I. This lecture reminded me I should start looking into his service.
Finding Rejected Claims and Pension Records (F34), by J. Mark Lowe—I must have been in a military frame of mind on Friday—or perhaps I’m realizing how valuable military-era records can be. At any rate, Mark’s presentation opened my eyes to some things I might be missing. Some of the records he talked about are available online through the Library of Congress/A Century of Lawmaking or Fold3, but many others might still be hiding in original federal documents. Even if your ancestor did not fight in a war, he or she may have been affected by it and filed a claim for damages. Because these records have the potential to provide rich genealogical detail, it’s worth the effort to look for them—and I appreciated Mark’s demonstration of how to do so.

Sold! Thank you Angela in San Francisco.
I love this didge. It pretty much encompasses every characteristic of a good playing agave that I enjoy. Strong back pressure, easy trumpets (especially the first trumpet which is an octave above the drone making it easy to hit), clear harmonics, strong bass presence (although the mids and highs still cut well allowing pronounced frequency manipulations). Perfect shape with a large 6 1/2″ bell great for acoustic playing or busking. .
Durable didjeridu bag made with waterproof canvas. Custom sizes available!

New York, (IANS): Older adults can prevent their risk of strokes by taking a daily stroll for just 35 minutes a day or four hours a week, say researchers.
"Stroke is a major cause of serious disability, so finding ways to prevent stroke or reduce the disability caused by stroke are important," said Katharina S. Sunnerhagen, from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
"While exercise benefits health in many ways, our research suggests that even simply getting in a small amount of physical activity each week may have a big impact later by possibly reducing the severity of a stroke," she added.
"There is a growing body of evidence that physical activity may have a protective effect on the brain and our research adds to that evidence," Sunnerhagen said.

(AP/www.ahvalnews.com) – An al-Qaeda-linked group’s takeover of a massive swathe of territory in northern Syria imperils the Russia-Turkey deal to avert a Syrian offensive in the country’s last rebel holdout, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
Within Idlib province, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) seized control of an area the size of neighboring Lebanon earlier this month. HTS has officially severed ties with al-Qaeda, but experts say it is still closely linked to the radical extremist group founded by Osama bin Laden, said AP.
Last September, Russia and Turkey brokered a ceasefire to avoid a government offensive into Idlib, with Ankara agreeing to clear the area of radical Islamist militias.
There is a real danger that HTS’ advance “will not only worsen the humanitarian crisis for the three million inhabitants there, but also give Assad and his allies the justification to assault the province,” Fawaz Gerges, professor of Middle Eastern politics at the London School of Economics, told AP.
“Such a scenario would be as devastatingly bloody as the battle for Aleppo,” he said, referring to the heavy fighting over Syria’s largest city in 2016, which killed thousands of people and ended with government forces and their allies capturing the rebel-held east.
After the advance by HTS, which now controls about 9,000 square kilometres (5% of Syrian territory), including a border crossing with Turkey and major highways, some international aid agencies suspended their work for fear of reprisals. The latest HTS offensive has already led to 250,000 people losing medical support after the Free Aleppo Medical Directorate ceased operations at 43 facilities due to a drop in aid from Western agencies, said AP.
Syrian pro-government media say Defense Minister Gen. Ali Ayoub and Brig. Gen. Suheil al-Hassan have recently visited the front lines in Idlib, raising fears of a new government offensive.
Ankara, which supports the opposition, fears the Syrian government is trying to undermine the September agreement. Russia, a key ally of the Syrian government, has urged Turkey to act more resolutely in reining in militants in Idlib, who have launched attacks on Syrian government forces and the Russian military.
The HTS takeover “alters the trajectory of the next phase in the civil war, tipping the balance of power in favor of the Assad regime,” the Soufan Center, a New York-based think tank, told AP.

Las emociones y la dirección. Condicionan los afectos de los directivos sus decisiones estratégicas?
INNOVACIóN EDUCATIVA EN LA FORMACIóN DE DIRECTIVOS. EXPERIENCIAS DESDE UN ENFOQUE BASADO EN COMPETENCIAS.
Qué modelo de liderazgo utilizar en la formación y desarrollo de directivos?
Keywords: family business, women's participation, motivations.
the objective of this article is to determine the factors which influence the participation of colombian women in management posts or organs of government of family businesses (fb). a qualitative methodology was used, and a model was defined and validated through a type-iv case study. 14 cases of second- and third-generation fb were analyzed. three congruent propositions are presented from the results obtained. the conclusion is that internal factors (protection of personal wealth, professional development, and the conservation of family unity), and transcendent factors (contribution to the growth of the business, generation of opportunities for family communication) are those which most motivate women's participation. external factors (family conflict, work-family imbalances and the definition of a career plan) discourage participation. the fb must improve external factors to avoid the loss of talent and professional commitment of women.
