A prolific season with Warwickshire and Birmingham Bears has renewed Ian Bell's hunger for the game to the extent that he has entertained the possibility of reviving his England career.
Bell, 36, played the last of his 118 Tests against Pakistan in late 2015, but this season is averaging 55.41 in the County Championship and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the Vitality Blast with 471 runs at a strike-rate of 144.92 a year after he stood down from the Warwickshire captaincy.
Early in Ed Smith's tenure as national selector there has been a clear push for youth in the Test side with Ollie Pope to make his debut against India at Lord's following the call-ups of Sam Curran and Dom Bess, but England's middle-order remains far from settled
"The questions have started to come a little bit more now, with the form I've had through the season and obviously England's middle order," he told BBC WM.
"If you asked me that question now I would definitely want to play again. If you'd asked me that 12 months ago, it would have been a different answer.
"Whether it is with Warwickshire, Birmingham Bears or England, I just still want to be winning games of cricket."
Bell admitted he went through some tough times last year and struggled to adjust to life outside the England team where he had been a fixture since returning to the side during the 2009 Ashes until being axed ahead of the South Africa tour in 2015-16.
"Last year, I wasn't in a particularly good place," said Bell. "I'd struggled with the batting and there were some massive questions in my own mind as to whether it was time to retire and I did ask myself those questions.
"It's been quite a tough adjustment not being an England player any more. But I felt even when I finished with England that I had a lot of cricket left under my belt. I spoke to a lot of ex-players and they all said 'you're a long time retired, don't look back with any regrets'."

The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were a very exciting time in the world of electrical engineering. During this period, electricity transformed from a scientific novelty to an essential part of our modern lives. You've probably heard the names of a few of the great electrical pioneers from this era, like Thomas Edision and Nikola Tesla, but have you ever heard of Charles Proteus Steinmetz? His name may not be as well known as some of his more famous contemporaries, but Steinmetz was one of the greatest electrical engineers of his time, and his contributions to the study of alternating current helped create the highly technological society we live in.
The Steinmetz Digital Collection of Schenectady is a rich collaborative digital collection, and includes items digitized by the Schenectady County Historical Society, the miSci Museum of Innovation and Science, and the Edison Tech Center. The materials in this collection have helped give life to the story of Charles Proteus Steinmetz. The Schenectady County Historical Society and miSci are members of the Capital District Library Council.
Charles (born Karl August Rudolph Steinmetz) emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1889, where he first worked for Rudolph Eickemeyer in Yonkers. Edison and General Electric acquired all of Steinmetz's patents when they bought Eickenmeyer's company in 1892, and Steinmetz began his long career with General Electric at this time. In 1894, Steinmetz moved to Schenectady, which would become his home for the next 30 years.
Steinmetz suffered from dwarfism, hip dysplasia, and a hunchback. He never married, but he developed a very close relationship with his young lab assistant, Joseph Hayden. Steinmetz invited Hayden and his wife, Corrine, to move into his large Wendell Avenue home in Schenectady. The fatherly relationship between Steinmetz and the Haydens flourished, and Steinmetz legally adopted the Hayden family in 1906. Thus the Haydens' three children also became Steinmetz's grandchildren.

Steinmetz was a firm Socialist, and he believed that technology and machines were the key to eliminating human suffering and toil, and creating a wealthy and abundant society for everyone. He believed in participating in his community, and served on both the Schenectady Board of Education, and on the City Council. He always remained a strong supporter of the common laborer. At one point in his later life, Steinmetz stopped smoking his favorite cigars because they were made in a non-union shop, and sought out cigars made in union shops, instead.

Above all, Charles Steinmetz had a wonderful sense of humor and wit, and he valued his leisure time and family camping excursions to nearby rivers and lakes. A favorite pastime was watching the Schenectady bathtub races in the Mohawk river, as seen in this photograph taken by Steinmetz:
One interesting anecdote told by the son of an engineer at Henry Ford's River Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan illustrates the lasting impression Steinmetz left on those who knew and worked with him:
Ford, whose electrical engineers couldn't solve some problems they were having with a gigantic generator, called Steinmetz in to the plant. Upon arriving, Steinmetz rejected all assistance and asked only for a notebook, pencil and cot. According to Scott, Steinmetz listened to the generator and scribbled computations on the notepad for two straight days and nights. On the second night, he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford's skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.
Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz's success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.
Steinmetz, Scott wrote, responded personally to Ford's request with the following:
Making chalk mark on generator $1.
Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Weak Fingernails
Finger nails are made up of layers of keratin, a type of protein. New cells grow beneath the cuticle, causing old cells to harden and compact. The old cells then grow out toward the fingertips. But as MotherNature.com says, most people do not have the perfect fingernails that we see in magazines 1. In fact, many people have weak, easily torn fingernails caused by the daily rigors of life. Some people are simply born with weak fingernails.
Healthy Fingernails
According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy fingernails are ridge-free and smooth 2. They are all the same color and shape. They have no spots or discolorations and may have vertical ridges. The tips, if long enough, should be a whitish color due to the lack of pigmentation found there. Some nail injuries can cause white spots to form, but these spots typically disappear as the nail grows out.
Symptoms of Weak Nails
Symptoms of weak fingernails include thinness and easily broken nails. In addition, they may peel and grow slowly. Weak nails are more prone to cracking or splitting. In severe cases, they can even become painfully detached from the nail bed itself.
MotherNature.com states that weak nails can mean there are problems elsewhere in the body 1. Psoriasis, a condition of the skin that can lead to itching, can cause weak nails. Hyperthyrodism, which is an overactive thyroid gland, can also cause weakness. Anemia may also contribute to weak nails. In addition, it can signal a calcium deficiency. However, most fingernail weakness is caused by everyday injury, nail biting or lack of care.
MayoClinic.com suggests keeping your weak nails dry and clean 2. In addition, trim them often to minimize tearing. Moisturize your nails regularly. When putting lotion on your hands, make sure the lotion is rubbed into the fingernail as well. Don't pick at your nails or bite them. Not only does this cause damage, it can invite fungus into any cuts that the picking or biting may have caused. Use nail polish and hardeners to help strengthen nails.
Eating eggs is an easy way to strengthen nails. Wellsphere.com suggests the avoidance of refined flour and sugar, which block absorption of protein. In addition, Vitamin C, nuts and tuna fish are good additions to the diet to encourage stronger nails. Your nails should be protected from cold weather. Gloves should be worn to prevent nails from cracking or splitting. A biotin supplement can also be taken to increase nail thickness.

Ethiopia should be the bridge to unlock Japan in Africa
Ethiopia should be the bridge to unlock Japan in Africa
Modern Tokyo Times
Lee Jay Walker
Ehiopia and Japan are two nations with a rich history and both remained independent despite the creation of vast colonies in both Africa and Asia. In many ways both societies have distinctive realities and the independent spirit of both nations should fuse together in order to build bridges.
Ethiopia is undergoing major modernization and Japanese investments, technology, economic assistance, and state of the art technology, should be used in the second most populous nation in Africa. At the same time Ethiopia is blessed with many resources and major investments are needed to expand the infrastructure and again you have a natural correlation between the needs of both nations.
Not only this, but the geopolitical reality of Ethiopia means that this nation is also very strategic and this applies to several factors. For example, both Somalia and Yemen are unstable and recent tensions in Egypt means that a strong Ethiopia is needed for the entire region.
Also, it is abundantly clear that piracy in Somalia and the threat of Islamic terrorism in the Red Sea region means that Ethiopia is in a prime geopolitical location. Added to this is a government which is focused on modernization, stability in the region, clamping down on terrorism within the Horn of Africa, and which seeks to provide electricity to neighboring nations in order to boost the entire region.
At the same time Japan is being left behind by Brazil, the Russian Federation, India and China (BRIC) in percentage terms of growth in Africa and the BRIC nations all understand the huge potential of Africa. This applies to Africa being rich in energy resources, minerals and other important areas and Japan clearly lacks an abundance of natural resources and the manpower of Africa is enormous.
Not only this, it is in the interest of Japan to realize that both China and India are gaining in Africa and it is vital that Japan is not left on the shelf. This does not imply any enmity between China and Japan but it is natural that economic rivals must focus on and compete in strategic parts of the world.
Therefore, the time is right for Japan to be unlocked and Ethiopia with its rich history and responsible government is just the nation to build these bridges. Not only this, given Japan's clear role in the modernization of China with regards to economic assistance, technological development, complementary markets, and other factors; then it should be a win-win for everyone and this applies to China, Ethiopia and Japan respectively.
Adam Lewis at www.fundstrategy.co.uk focused on a report issued from the Standard Bank and the findings acknowledged that Japan-Africa trade relations had improved and this applies to growing trade. However, the BRIC countries were clearly focused on making major strides and in this sense Japan is missing out.
The report states that "As such, while Japan-Africa trade roughly doubled between 2001 and 2009, China-Africa trade expanded by almost 1,000%, India-Africa trade rose by 525%, Brazil-Africa trade by 224% and Russia-Africa trade by 262%. Indeed by 2009 China's trade with Africa was five times that of Japan and Africa."
The two key reasons according to the report are "Firstly, the Brics have a deeper understanding of operating within challenging emerging market environments. Secondly, Bric enterprises are, more often than not, provided superior support from their respective governments in securing deeper access to African markets."
"This advantage is most clear in the Chinese context, where Chinese state capital chanelled to Africa to support development strategies, largely in the infrastructure space, abundantly enhances the ability of Chinese companies to engage more wholesomely in high-growth African economies. As such, and in contrast to Japan, Chinese trade to Africa has a more direct impact on the ability of its domestic corporations to profitably engage Africa."
It is also important to point out that the EPRDF under the Prime Minister of Ethiopia is intent on modernizing the nation and developing the infrastructure. Meles Zenawi, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, has managed to galvanize a desperate situation because the future of Ethiopia looked bleak until the EPRDF started to implement radical reforms once they obtained political power.
The reason for such success was that the EPRDF under Meles Zenawi had many major goals and not only were these plans written, it is clear that they were enacted. Therefore, many roads have been built, the education sector is expanding, more universities have been built, greater access to clean water, new hydro-electric power projects have materialized and a host of other areas have boosted the nation.
It is worth pointing out that this great success was achieved despite the enormous obstacles that the EPRDF faced. After all, the infrastructure had been neglected for many decades prior to the EPRDF and you have so much instability in the region. This notably applies to Somalia but not exclusively because many dangerous factors still exist in this part of Africa.
Despite this, the government of Ethiopia is not only a responsible government for the people of Ethiopia but this nation is also intent on helping regional nations and major nations in their fight against terrorism and piracy.
Turning back to Japan then it is clear that government authorities and private companies need to focus on Africa just like BRIC nations have. Therefore, re-engagement is needed and given the size of Ethiopia, the strategic importance of Ethiopia and the rich history and current responsible government; then the conditions are in place for Japan to do a lot of soul searching and to focus on nations in Africa which have huge potential.
This clearly applies to Ethiopia and the leadership of Meles Zenawi.
The report also points out that "Africa offers much of what Japan and its key advanced economy partners lack: a large and growing population, rising prosperity which is fueling the swelling urban nodes and an increasingly affluent middle class, and abundant natural resources to fuel expansion."
On the other hand Japan can provide major capital, industrial expertise, a powerful automotive sector, manufactured goods, and so forth; and this will benefit the economy of Japan therefore the situation is a win-win for both the continent of Africa and Japan.
Overall, Japan should focus on major strategic partners in Africa and given my earlier statements then Ethiopia should be one of these major strategic partners because the leadership in this nation is focused on modernization, developing a strong educational system and creating an infrastructure which will cater for the future needs of the people of Ethiopia.

I was invited to join a dog training seminar at Genting yesterday, and it was terrific fun. All the dogs were working dogs, learning to catch robbers, jump through windows, and find lost "treasures". Seriously impressive!
Problem is, I cuddled 14 dogs plus 1 cat and then went home and said hello to Scoop and Au before having a shower or changing my clothes. As you can see from Au's face, he was not amused! Scoop took it a bit better but he was jealous too.
As I spent yesterday evening haunted by flattened ears and hard stares, I went ot the wet market this morning to buy roast chicken for dinner tonight. A small sign from me that no matter how many dogs (and cats!) I say hello to when I'm away from home, it's our fuzzy lodgers who remain tops.
PS Here's Au looking supercilious. It's an expression cat's do sooooo well!

Leading the way to healthier babies
Campaign helps inner-city women access services that support healthy pregnancies
This Way to a Healthy Baby website
Winnipeg Health Region
Published Monday, February 11, 2013
Inner-city women will be able to better access services that support healthy pregnancies and healthier babies as part of a new campaign being launched today.
This Way to a Healthy Baby was created by the Winnipeg Health Region, the University of Manitoba, Healthy Child Manitoba and Maternal Child Health of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs.
It is designed to help ensure women in the Downtown, Point Douglas and Inkster communities are aware of the wide range of services and supports available to them right from the start of their pregnancy through to baby's arrival and beyond.
"There are many sites offering free and welcoming health care for pregnant women in Winnipeg,"
said Lynda Tjaden, Director of Population and Public Health for the Winnipeg Health Region and lead community partner for the Partners in Inner-City Integrated Prenatal Care (PIIPC) project.
"We want every pregnant woman in the area to be aware of these services and know that they would be welcome to attend," she says.
Access to services is important for women, says Dr. Maureen Heaman, University of Manitoba professor with the Faculty of Nursing and lead researcher for the PIIPC project.
"Early and regular prenatal care during a woman's pregnancy can have real benefits to the new baby's long-term health," says Heaman. The University of Manitoba will be performing an evaluation of the campaign's effectiveness.
This Way to a Healthy Babyprovides Winnipeg women and families with information about their options for prenatal care - and shows them just how accessible and important this care is.
"Families have more options for care during their pregnancies now than they have had in the past," says Tjaden. "Care can be provided by a doctor, nurse, midwife or nurse practitioner and can be at a clinic, hospital or in one of the community organizations that host Healthy Baby and Healthy Start programs."
The campaign also raises awareness of other supports that are in place to help families, especially expectant mothers, during pregnancy.
For example, many pregnant women aren't aware that they may be eligible for some financial assistance through the Healthy Baby Prenatal Benefit to help provide healthy food and supplies through their pregnancy. Some women may also be eligible for support to get them to and from their appointments if transportation is a challenge and some sites also provide child-minding services for expectant mothers who already have children.
For more information on This Way to a Healthy Baby or prenatal care available in your community, visit thiswaytoahealthybaby.com or phone 204-942-BABY (2229) to find out where you can access care in your community.

Jimmy Wales – Wikipedia/wikiTRIBUNE Founder
As Jimmy Wales announced the launch of wikiTRIBUNE today, I thought it might be a good time to publish the work we produced together at 4YFN 2016 in Barcelona, Spain.
A really cool and down to earth guy, Jimmy was a true treat to work with. If I remember correctly, we had a fun chat about both being Americans but choosing to live in Europe. And at the time, Trump wasn't even in charge. I really wonder how that conversation would go today. I can imagine a bottle of scotch might even be involved.
And on that note, Jimmy, I raise a glass to your wikiTRIBUNE project, and hope that it truly helps bring the news back to what it was meant to be, and not an endless stream of click bait.

MINNEAPOLIS – For a pitcher who came out on the pavement end of a 9-1 beating, Sonny Gray seemed relatively unperturbed Tuesday night.
Gray was making his first start of the season after missing a month with a right shoulder strain, and the shoulder wasn't a problem, so that was good.
Pitch selection could have been better, though. In the space of three hitters in the third inning Gray allowed a walk and two homers, and that was it. Three runs were in and undefeated (5-0) Erwin Santana, who dominates the A's like few others, would not need more.
The other six runs were little more than window dressing, although the Twins will mark this as the night they hit six home runs in a game.
"If I could take a couple of pitches back, obviously I would," Gray said. "Those just happened to be the difference in the game. I threw the ball OK, they jumped on a couple of pitches early and hit them for homers."
Gray's evening began well enough. He had a 1-2-3 first inning and only a two-out walk marred his second inning.

— John Hickey (@JHickey3) May 3, 2017
He got the first two outs of the third inning, too, before Brian Dozier turned the game around. The All-Star second baseman jumped on a 1-0 slider and hammered it out to left field. One walk later, Miguel Sano caught a fastball that carried into the restaurant in center field, just the second ball ever to do that.
"When I get two quick outs in an inning, I've got to be better than that," Gray said. "Even after giving up the first homer, you really can't walk the next guy and bring that guy (Sano) to the plate. Three batters in a row got me, and that was the difference in the game. I've got to get up and perform."
Tuesday was also the return of center fielder Rajai Davis, who'd missed 10 days on the disabled list because of a left hamstring issue. He, like most of the A's went hitless against Santana, although he did single in his final at-bat off reliever Tyler Duffey. Davis, like the rest of the A's, was happy just to see Gray back on the mound.
"I thought he was throwing strikes," the center fielder said of Gray. "They just put some good swings on them."
Four of the six homers went out to center, and none of them was particularly close to the wall, although Davis kept trying to scale it as if were K-2.
"The wall wasn't helping me out," Davis said. "They have slick stuff on it."
Oakland manager Bob Melvin liked what he saw from Gray for the most part.
"He was sailing along really good, pitching the way we've seen him pitch before," Melvin said. "He had command of all his pitches. He had good velocity and good movement. You look overall at the numbers, but when you look inside and you look at the rest of the internal stuff, and it's just a matter of a couple of pitches."
The loss was the seventh in the last eight games for the 11-15 A's since a five-game winning streak came to an end. Oakland now finds itself just one-half game out of the American League West cellar.
- Santana always dominates the A's, as his 17-7 career record against Oakland suggests. This year, he's doing it against everybody else, too. He's off to a 5-0 start with a staggeringly good 0.66 ERA. He hasn't allowed the A's a run in his last 16 innings against them.
- A's reliever Cesar Valdez had a night not to remember. He pitched the seventh inning for Oakland and was tagged for four runs on three homers and a couple of singles. His ERA jumped from 6.48 to 9.64.
- The Oakland run came on a Yonder Alonso homer, his fifth of the year after having just seven all of last season. It came in the ninth inning, and while it prevented a shutout, the A's have now scored two or fewer runs in six of their last eight games.
- Third baseman Trevor Plouffe was awash in media in the A's dugout about 2½ hours before the game. It was his first visit to Target Field not wearing a Twins uniform. Melvin found some humor in it. "Was the parade today? Or will it be tomorrow for him?" Melvin said with a laugh.
- Plouffe said part of his adjustment was wearing 3 with the A's after wearing 24 with the Twins. He would have taken 24, but Rickey Henderson's number has been retired in Oakland. "24 wasn't available in Oakland, and rightfully so," Plouffe said. He went on to say that because it was his number as a kid and because 3 was the number that Hall of Fame third/first baseman Harmon Killebrew wore, it was the right choice.
- Disabled reliever John Axford joined the club Monday and threw his first bullpen session Tuesday. If all goes well, and Axford said his right shoulder strain wasn't a problem anymore, he will have another bullpen throw Thursday. He could be back within a couple of week. "It takes a little while once they started throwing bullpens," Melvin said.
- Disabled starters Daniel Mengden and Chris Bassitt will throw this week as they continue their rehabs. Mengden will throw three innings and 45 pitches Wednesday at the A's extended spring training facility in Mesa, Ariz., while Bassitt will throw four innings and 60 pitches with Class-A Stockton.
- It appears that Sean Manaea, who went on the DL Sunday, will only miss one start and could be back in the rotation as soon as his 10 days on the disabled list are up this weekend when the Tigers visit Oakland. "He's feeling pretty good," Melvin said, saying a bullpen would take place in the next day or two.

What impact on patient outcomes do nurses have?
The medical sector plays a critical role in people's lives. Healthcare practitioners such as nurses are involved in handling patients and prescribing different drugs to patients. Essentially, nurses interact with patients throughout the ailment period. The nursing profession involves a combination of academic knowledge, interpersonal traits and psychological skills. Nurses affect the outcome of a patient during and after hospitalization. Nurses have an impact in the outcome of the patient at all stages of the nursing care; assessment, nursing diagnosis and management of the problem.
Nurses play a critical role in accumulating patients' health knowledge and analysis. Nurses are at the forefront in examining patients once they are admitted in hospitals. The initial stage of the nursing care activity involves assessment of the problem. In this stage, the nurses conduct several tests on a patient. Some of the tests include eye examination, blood sugar test and recording of relevant personal information about a patient. The nurses then cooperate with the doctors in affirming that a patient is ill. Correct analysis and recording of data regarding a patient has an impact in the diagnosis accorded a patient.
Nurses have an impact in the psychological perspective of patients towards illnesses. Among the medical practitioners, nurses are the ones who are actively involved in physical care of patients. This involves physical activities such as bathing and feeding patients. Additionally, nurses are actively involved in encouraging patients that they would get well. It is through these interpersonal interactions that patients can have a positive outlook of life or have a negative outlook of their current predicaments. It is necessary to note that a patient's mental attitude towards an ailment has a direct impact in the way the patient responds to treatment.
Nurses have an impact in patients' length of stay in medical facilities: at the management of problem stage. Nurses conduct their job within medical facilities such as hospitals and outside the medical facilities; home based care. In this regard, nurses can influence the doctor's decision to discharge a patient. Patients who are discharged early from medical facilities and receive home based care respond well to treatment than patients who do not receive home based care.
Nurses play a critical role in the medical examination of patients. One of the impacts of the nursing profession on patient's activity is linked to patients' health details. This affects the diagnosis and medication given to patients. Secondly, the interpersonal interaction between patients and nurses affects the patients' psychological attitude towards illness. Nurses' willingness to offer home based care on patients is closely linked to the rate of discharge from medical facilities. Apparently, nurses' quality of care contributes to patients' response to medication.

Hot flashes, hot flushes and night sweats.
Hot Flashes: I remember when I was younger and old women would talk about hot flashes. I didn't have a clue what they were, but I knew they were not a good thing. Well, now I'm there and I was right. There's nothing like it, they start out as "warm" flashes… you know, all of a sudden you feel like someone turned the air conditioning off… but in a couple of minutes you're ok. Then they pick up steam. You can be freezing to death one moment, then you feel it coming on… starts in the pit of your stomach and within 30 seconds, your entire body heats up like an oven. Lasts a few minutes, then you're back to freezing. These symptoms are annoying during the day… but at night…
Night Sweats: There's nothing like being in a deep peaceful sleep when all of a sudden you swear the house is on fire! When you wake up, both you and the bed a soaked!

Just three months ago I was embarking on a new adventure here at beautiful Cannon Beach. Wide eyed and white knuckled I ventured into the kitchen at EVOO. Now 12 weeks later I feel there is much I still want to experience but I am no longer the fledgling learning to fly. It would be a daunting task to surmise all I have learned here to date. It has been an amazing and almost overwhelming amount of culinary staples as well as a surprising amount of small details overlooked by the home cooking I have been used to. I really feel that I have been welcomed in to an almost underground society here; the scene behind the curtain of a great meal or a good night out. Memories created on a first date, a birthday celebration, or just a fabulous dinner with close friends usually start with the when and where to eat. The people in the background who you may never see, work like madmen to ensure their guests' good time out. Remember to be kind and tip them well as they deserve it, believe me!
When I first decided to come to the coast I was on the fence about whether attending a culinary school was the direction I wanted to take. I have always loved learning but the heavy price tag of admission, coupled with some of my chef friends advice to just work your way up the ranks had me questioning what to do. This experience seemed to be the perfect chance to test the waters. For me the dynamic here has been exceptional. The standards are high as are the expectations of mental and physical stamina. Thinking in a proactive way so you can anticipate and delegate the best of your time is the key. It was a chance for me to test what my grandparents used to call "the stuff you were made of." In my family we pride ourselves on some pretty tough stuff. And here, everyday technique, cleanliness and speed are questioned.
I have been reading a great book in my down time called "Beaten, Seared & Sauced" that has closely resembled my day to day activities here in this little kitchen. It's about a man changing direction late in life and attending the CIA in NY. Let's just say I can relate. One of the similarities is that encouragements are given but even the most subtle of compliments are reserved only for when the job is done correctly. In my mind that makes it much more meaningful and heartfelt. The recognition gives me a good sense of pride for my accomplishments. Actually the ultimate compliment from Bob is when he stops mid stride, leans in to check my work with a discerning eye, pretends to wipe away a tear and says "they grow up so fast " before continuing on his way. In return when I stop with inquisitive looks, my questions of the how and why have always been answered with a scientific background and a practical approach. It has really helped me to connect with what I am doing.
Which brings me to the question of what I am doing next? Culinary school still looms in the background after seeing my mentor in action. I have also been in touch with a select catering company and looking at the possibility of going back to school in the food writing realm. Anything is possible, right? I am happy to say that for now, I have been asked to stay here at EVOO and continue learning through the summer. I plan to become a jack of all trades, handling the retail, service, and still doing my favorite time, prepping in the kitchen.
These past months I feel like I have found little pieces of myself and my passions again. I am excited every day to be cooking in the kitchen, and sharing my very first blog has rekindled my affinity for writing. I feel lucky to be surrounded by a supportive community and amazing group of people that have made me feel like family after such a short amount of time.
Thanks to everyone for reading and following me on my journey so far, and thank you, Bob and Lenore, for all you have done to help me on my way. I'm looking forward to an amazing summer full of new experiences and the chance to follow my heart. Signing off but not going far…. Kate
P/S: Watch for Shanda's blog, "The Green Project"–coming this summer as she tells us how her family responds to eating "green," i.e., more vegetables from her CSA basket.
Hooray hooray for the month of May!
Its time for a new menu and new learning's. I have a good feeling that this month will be an appreciation of patience. The best things in life take a bit of time. In the past couple of months things like pasting garlic have tested my time table. First you must peel each clove, remove the innermost sprout, mince it and then you can finally draw the flat of your blade over it again and again until an aromatic paste is formed. At first it sounds simple enough but in the midst of the 5th clove, with more garlic sticking to the knife and my fingers than actually turning into the beautiful smooth texture I envisioned, I realize the clock is against me. I am pretty sure I was given this laborious task for a few reasons. Either Bob wants to be sure I'm not able to attract ANY eligible men and therefore keep my mind in the kitchen, or he is protecting me from potential vampire attacks.
I feel this month will continue to challenge me to remember to breathe in times of frustration and to persevere toward the amazing meal. Take shucking peas for example. In my mind I have lofty ideas that a whole box of English peas should take oh…45 minutes to get done. I have the water on and heating so it will be ready to blanch them when I am ready. Of course, I should have known by my mentor's slight head shake and Cheshire cat smile that my time-line was more around the 1 1/2 hour mark. In the end the whole huge box only yielded about 3 1/2 cups of shucked sweet little green peas. I call them " escapeas " because half of them take flight – in no particular direction except away from the bowl they are meant for! And let's not forget these little gems are just one component for the risotto on our first course of the May Dinner Show.
This Italian rice dish is one that must be nurtured itself as well. A good risotto must be tended to constantly for about 25 minutes and when it is done it must be served right away to impart the creamy texture intended. It waits for no one! Arborio rice is most commonly used, sauteed in butter or olive oil first and then adding a ladle of stock one at a time, stirring to distribute the liquid evenly and prevent any burning. When the stock is absorbed you repeat the process. It can be mixed with a variety of ingredients, mushroom leek and lemon has worked well for my dinner parties in the past. Whatever you add the goal is to have a dish that is hands down one of my favorite comfort foods.
I was so excited to see Osso Bucco on the menu this month as well! I had seen plenty an Iron Chef make it while totally geeking out on the Food Network, wishing that I did not have to live vicariously through the judges on the flat screen. The first time I was able to order it for myself was at Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo on my birthday trip to NYC. Truth be told he was always my favorite Iron Chef anyway so this was my little dream come true. Lets just say I was not disappointed…the marrow from the bone gave the slow cooked braised veal a velvet mouth feel. The meat was so tender it almost melted.
It is made with lamb on our menu, but the effect is the same. I have seen it turn even the most skeptic of palates into lamb lovers. I truly believe it has to do not only with the painstaking preparation, but also with the quality and freshness of the lamb itself. Bob has it delivered within the week the lambs are harvested, and they are only harvested when ordered. It doesn't get much better than that.
I now know the time and work involved in each little step takes my enjoyment of a meal to a whole new place. Every component in the menu has a purpose on the tongue. It can be light and sweet like my peas or full of richness and depth like the lamb. A bright gremolata balances any heavy notes and a thick nutty cream sauce can smooth out delicate potatoes. It is truly the little things, the sometimes frustrating, time sucking, minute details, that really do make all the difference in a dish. So this week I am in great appreciation of the symphony of food I help to create as I embrace every task I am given!

Comprehensive transportation plans
Comprehensive transportation plans (CTPs) are prepared by NCDOT's Transportation Planning Branch. The Transportation Planning Branch works with local municipalities, counties and large metropolitan areas across the state to develop plans for North Carolina's transportation system. These comprehensive transportation plans represent a community's consensus on the future transportation system, including the existing system and improvements, needed to support anticipated growth and development over 25-30 years. CTPs replaced the thoroughfare plans that had been developed since the 1950s. In 2001 the North Carolina General Assembly amended the state transportation planning law (NCGS 136-66) replacing the thoroughfare plan requirement with the multi-modal CTP. Processes for developing CTPs and the products (CTP maps and documents) are different than thoroughfare plans. The CTP multi-modal plan identifies existing and future transportation systems, including highways, public transportation, rail, bicycle and pedestrian facilities needed to serve current and anticipated travel demand.
Paper availability: 2004 – present
Digital availability: 2004 - present
Thoroughfare plans
Before there were CTPs there were thoroughfare plans which identified the existing and proposed highway networks needed to handle existing and future traffic. Thoroughfare plans were the predecessor of today's Comprehensive Transportation Plans. Maps and documentation for thoroughfare plans were less than those now part of CTPs.
Paper availability: 1957 - 2005
Digital availability: 1963 - 2005
Research reports
The NC Department of Transportation's Research & Analysis Unit oversees transportation-related research that investigates materials, operations, planning, traffic and safety, structures, human environments, natural environments, and more. The Research & Analysis unit solicits, selects, and monitors all State Planning and Research-funded research projects, which are conducted primarily by state colleges and universities and eventually result in these detailed published reports.

Daniel T. Goodwin Law
10 Legal Documents Every Startup Should Have
- Bylaws / Operating Agreement
A company's Bylaws (in the case of a corporation) or Operating Agreement (in the case of an LLC) provide the legal backbone for how it operates. If your company does not have bylaws in place, state statutes will control how the company is run. However, these default rules might not be the best fit for your company, so it is much better to strategically think through how you would like your company to be run.
For example, if there is a major disagreement among the owners that "deadlocks" the company from being able to do anything, generally one of the only remedies under state statutes is that an owner can file a lawsuit asking the court to wind up and dissolve the company. This is usually a lose-lose for everyone, especially if the company was doing well prior to the deadlock. The owners could avoid this scenario by having certain dispute resolution provisions in the bylaws, or by having a limited, advisory-only member of the company who effectively acts as a tie-breaker, the process for which would be set forth in the bylaws.
- Insurance
After establishing a well-thought out corporate structure and executing governance documents, every company should make sure that they have good insurance coverage. This may not come cheap, but it's an important investment for any business to make.
Beyond a general commercial liability policy, insurance can cover anything from cyber liability to director/officer liability to life insurance for key founders. Also, if you are selling any kind of product to the public, consulting with an attorney who specializes in products liability is advised, as they will be able to assist you in mapping out this additional exposure to risk and preparing any contracts or disclaimers to include with the sale of your product.
- Shareholders' Agreement
This agreement, which also may be called a "Founders' Agreement" or "Buy-Sell Agreement", can help you govern the relationship between the owners of your company. You and your business partners may be on the best of terms now, but running a company might put a strain on your relationship sooner than you think. Interpersonal conflict between founders is one of the most common and predictable reasons for why companies fail. Thus, a shareholders' agreement goes a long way to protect your investment in the new business.
This type of agreement should contain vital information such as who can be a shareholder or serve on the board of directors, what happens in the case of a shareholder's death or impairment, or what happens when a shareholder files for bankruptcy, resigns, retires or is fired. It should also outline how much shares of stock are worth and who will be required to purchase the shares of the owner who is leaving.
- Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
NDAs protect the confidential information of your business. They are used when one or both parties in a relationship wish to disclose confidential information, but want to ensure that the person or organization who receives it does not disclose it to anyone without consent. For example, if you are looking for a manufacturer to produce your company's new widget on a mass scale, you should probably have each potential manufacturer you interview sign an NDA so that they can't turn around and start making your widget anyways.
Keep in mind, NDAs are worthless unless they are actually signed by the party against whom you wish to enforce it. No matter what verbal promises were made before or after information was disclosed, it is advised you get your NDA in writing and signed by both parties before any confidential information is shared. This way, both parties clearly know their duties and privileges as they are receiving business information from the other.
- Intellectual Property Agreement
This document is mandatory if you wish to acquire, sell or license intellectual property (e.g. copyrights, trademarks, patents).
If you are giving or receiving all the rights to a certain piece of intellectual property, that is called an "assignment". If you are giving or receiving only a few rights related to the intellectual property (for example, the right to print and distribute someone's copyrighted book), that is a "license."
Whether you are just starting out or a well-established business, intellectual property or "IP" is often a significant piece of your business's value. An IP agreement protects this value.
A good IP agreement should be comprehensive, covering the financial compensation, date of the assignment/license, the rights and obligations of the Assignor and Assignee and timelines for payment, representations and warranties, indemnities, and more.
- Privacy Policy
A privacy policy is essential for online businesses because data privacy issues are being subject to more legal scrutiny than ever before. Your privacy policy should outline how your business collects information on customers, what that information is used for, and how it is stored and managed. It should also explain the rights and control of a customer's personal information.
Currently, data privacy laws are a patchwork of various state laws and federal regulations. Some industries, such as education and finance, are also subject to special rules. Some states, such as California, have enacted laws for any business that targets customers in that state. If you have concerns about whether you are following the law in this complex area, consulting with an attorney is strongly advised.
- Terms & Conditions
This item is essential if you conduct any business online. Your website's terms and conditions regulate the online transactions where you sell your products or services to clients.
Well drafted website "Terms and Conditions of Use" will deal with issues such as returns and refunds, consumer guarantees, deliveries, disclaimers and competitors. They will also have the effect of limiting liability for any information and material that may be on your site in relation to third party information or content that is included on your site.
Additionally, it should lay down the rules for people visiting the website as well as explaining that any intellectual property on the website is protected. Your website's terms and conditions should be easy to read and accessible before a transaction takes place.
- Founders' Assignment of Intellectual Property
Each and every person who works in any manner for the company, including the founders, should execute an agreement assigning their creations to the company. A founder's IP contributions could be anything from patents, software, logos and marketing materials, customer data, and more.
Especially during the startup phase of a company, almost all of the value of the venture will be tied up in the IP, so if the company cannot prove it actually has legal title to these assets, the company is essentially worthless.
- Employee Contracts or Offer Letters
Having a easy to understand contract or offer and acceptance letter with employees is essential for setting forth expectations and ensuring the employee is tied into the team. Topics that could be covered in an employee contract or offer letter include who the employee reports to, who will own the employee's work product, basic expectations, required commitments, share vesting and all other "rules" the employee must abide by. This prevents misunderstandings and thus can go a long way to protect the company from HR-related disputes.
- Liability Release Forms
Startup companies tend to have a variety of fun work events that may involve risk. For example, maybe your company has an annual dodgeball tournament against an important vendor or maybe you want to organize a company "hiking day" for bonding and team-building. If so, you should have all employees sign a liability release form so that your company doesn't become liable for an unexpected accident.

I have been using interlaced content for every event up to tomorrows. Using the Blackmagic Mini Recorders, the required input for 1080 is 1080i. Tomorrow's event I have will be the first I'm going to be doing in 60p due to new hardware but if you're looking to see whether or not you could drop the de-interlacing functionality, I would strongly recommend keeping it.
Rory Maloney All of my equipment was running through blackmagic mini recorders into my laptop but they were all able to function at 1080p and 1080i. In order to get the equipment that had issues with running at 1080i (like external windows based laptops) I have been running (and will continue to do so) Datavideo DAC-70 boxes for conversion. (I seriously love these things).
For a full list of equipment:
Benjamin Yaroch said:
No for me too. I use a few Canon VIXIA HF R100s.
I may have misspoke...let me confirm this. How soon do you need to know?
Its funny you mentioned right now. I have a BM Intensity Thunderbolt - and have used it with 1080i50 camera input from a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. Until my wife decided to go on a holiday with it. Upon her return, I was getting the usual rig setup today, and my shuttle was no longer recognisable on either my video workstation or on my MacBook pro.
So - if anyone else here would like to comment on a good alternative that wont break the bank, I'd be interested to get input.
Greg Kuhnert Yea... those shuttles are finicky things. I have a USB3 model and a thunderbolt model that work only about 50% of the time. Do you need the passthrough functionality or are you good with input only? If you can live without the passthrough, the mini recorders are pretty cheap and you don't need any new software, they will work with the same drivers.
If however you're looking to do passthrough and / or update your computer in the next little bit (Thunderbolt 1 is phasing out), I just picked up an external PCIe box and a Decklink Duo that works great. I've got it set for 3 inputs (up and including to 1080p60) and 1 output for and external renderer. It was actually fairly inexpensive comparatively and the upgrade to 1080p is going to be great. I am doing my first event with the new tech today.
Got it sorted with the existing device. To summarise for anyone else that might be interested:
On mac #1, I have sierra. Wasn't working. I went to mac #2 to test
On mac #2, I have high sierra. Same problem. Uninstall / reinstall drivers. Still failed.
Tested thunderbolt port between two mac's - worked fine.
Solution: High Sierra has a new driver approval thing in preferences under security:general... Once I went there and approved the drivers, it worked fine. I then went back and upgraded the software on the Sierra mac, and all is fine again.

Yasushi Yoshida, Japan coach: "Despite the fact that we lost, my players were able to stick to the game plan, and that makes me happy. For these players, this is really the beginning of their careers, so I hope they remember this feeling and take strength from it moving forward. We had a bit of a let down at the end of regulation. Whether that was because of fitness, I don't know, but we did struggle to return to our original intensity after they scored. In the second half, I changed some players to try to keep us fresh, but we weren't able to keep up with their attack. I was hoping we would be able to counter them as they pushed forward, but it didn't work out that way. But, ultimately, I am glad that it was such an exciting match for the supporters for our fourth match in Victoria."
Miroslav Soukup, Czech Republic coach: "Japan showed why they finished first in their group. But, we found some strength, and we were able to turn things around and even the match. And in the end, we were just a little bit more lucky and we won. We took advantage of some lucky breaks when we were behind, and after a few changes to the line-up we were more active on the field and more offensive. I am happy we turned it around. I promised the players I would shave my head as they did if we won, and certainly it still applies. I will do it, and I will do it gladly. I don't know any coach who is not nervous about penalties.
Maybe I was calm on the outside, but inside I really was living with the match. I am glad that the people got to see a very interesting and a very good match. It was exciting until the last second. Right now, I am just enjoying this win, so I can't really address playing Spain. Before the tournament, I thought they would reach the semi-finals, and I am happy to have the chance to play them."
Akihiro Hayashi, Japan goalkeeper: "I felt like we didn't play to our brand of football, which is a lot of combination play, and instead we relied too much on kick and rush. We were trying to play long ball to Yauhito Morishima and work off of him, but maybe we went too far and away from our strength. The match started to shift to their rhythm and they took advantage. I got my hand on one of the penalty kicks. It was hard and placed well, but I cannot be a world-class keeper unless I stop that. Every time we weren't decisive, they were good at taking advantage. You can't sit back against them and wait for the match, you have to keep moving forward."

The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain is about how our brains unlike most parts of our bodies is not simply subject to decay from age 35 or so on. While certain brain functions do indeed suffer (for instance our ability to remember names), in many aspects the functioning of the brain is actually improving: we become better at pattern recognition, we make better judgments due to our tacit knowledge, and we generally develop a more positive outlook on life as we grow older. The book debunks the idea that from a certain point, somewhere around 40, we are over the hill and from that point on we only have one way to go: downhill. While we grow older our bodies do decay in many respects, many of our brain functions can keep on going uphill well into old age.

Important brain functions can keep getting stronger well into old age
2 comments:
I first heard about this book from an article in Reader's Digest when I was in my dentist's waiting room. I then heard about the same book on NPR. Now you're posting about it. I think I'll have to read this one soon even though I'm only 32, it would be good to know how my brain may be getting better with age as understanding that may help me overcome some negative stereotypes about aging I may have without knowing about it :)ReplyDelete
Hi Rodney, good idea. Here is already a preview of one aspect of how things may get better with old age: Speaking words of wisdom http://bit.ly/d4m7npReplyDelete

About the Instructor
Maximilian Schallwig
Data Scientist
I've worked for over two years in physics research and mathematical analysis. I participated in two international physics competitions, where my two teammates and I won silver and gold. My thesis was in the field of Quantum Biology, focusing on analyzing the behavior of excitons at room temperature with electronic interaction.
Due to my affinity for math and statistics from my studies in physics, I tend towards data mining, processing, and analysis, which are also the things that I find most exciting.
I enjoy learning new methods and developing my skills, and am constantly studying new literature and documentation to find exciting material that can be applied in the field of data analysis.
If you want to keep up with what else I'm doing in the fields of programming, data, and data science, you can check me out at codingwithmax.
What Will I Learn?
Understand SQL databases
Integrating database interaction into your code
Be able to dynamically add and extract data from your database
You should be comfortable with the fundamentals of python
Python is one of the most friendly and popular programming languages. It finds applications everywhere, ranging from research, over to industry, as well as things like the entertainment industry. Programming in general allows for you to greatly reduce workload, as well as solve problems that would be impossible to solve by hand, or create great, new, and fun applications/software.
A big part of the new digital world is that everything is producing data, and storing as well as using data are becoming emerging and very important industry fields. The ability to combine data usage with programming allows for rapid development and automation, and is extremely superior when compared to systems that need manual input or data handling.
SQL is the language that you can use to interact with one major database type (SQL databases), one that is very wide-spread in today's world.
Knowing SQL will give you a nice ability and understanding of how to handle data and databases, and being able to integrate it into Python code enables you to create great, dynamic, and automatic systems that combine the power of programming and data.
This course will be using SQLite in Python, which allows us to execute SQL commands through python, and will allow you to create, connect, use, and manage local SQL-based databases.

A new car would be great right now: shiny new paint, new MP3 player, awesome speakers. There's only one problem — no money. The economy hasn't exactly put you out of a job, but it has somewhat decreased your discretionary spending. If you're looking to add a little something to your car, there are still some things you can do, especially since spring and summer are right around the corner.
But be careful. There are plenty of companies, particularly Internet sites, that will claim to sell brand new quality products for less than half the retail price, products which may end up being defective, says Boomer Johnson of Boom Did It Custom Car Audio and Airbrush, located in Rockford, Ill. Do your research first, he advises.
Johnson has done everything from installing a car stereo with 26 speakers to "Pimp My Ride" style work, referring to the popular MTV reality show where literal lemons are turned into colorful vehicles that only your imagination could concoct. The company has been around since 1988 and they have worked on vehicles belonging to Michael Jordan, Missy Elliot and even Dennis Rodman.
Johnson advises anyone who wants to buy electronics to buy the quality product first, not the generic version. "When you install something generic, there's a greater chance of malfunction, which leads to spending more money for a new product and installation," he explains.
His customers were willing to spend a nice chunk of change on their cars. But now, compared to one client who spent about $30,000 on their car about two or three years ago, customers spend no more than a couple thousand. "I guess they're figuring out that they can do more with the money they were once spending on their cars," says Johnson. For the colder months, the more popular add on to cars is a remote starter that runs usually around $200, and car alarms, which are the most practical accessories.
While plenty of people are being practical about where they're spending their money, Eddie Guzman, of Guzman Custom Car Audio, 2711 W. 51st St. in Chicago, says that there are still some customers with new cars who come in and just start picking out all the electronics they want installed.
"They'll come in to transfer their stuff from the old car to their new car," says Guzman, whose family-owned store was started by his father about eight years ago. The shop installs everything from car radios to televisions and navigation systems.
According to Guzman, many clients come in looking for functionality. A customer's radio could have been stolen or speakers might have been blown out, and they come in to get those accessories replaced. Other times, cars bought from dealerships offer standard radios and electronics that are low-end. Guzman says that by going to a shop, a car owner can save at least $200 for a remote start compared to getting one installed at the dealership.
Your car's look can be, by far, more important. After enduring extreme heat or cold, the paint on your car can
look a little dull and lackluster. You may get your car washed and waxed on a regular basis, but that still doesn't bring out the shine that you saw the day you brought your precious baby home.
Ivan Rajic, of LUSTR Auto Detailing (www.lustrdetail.com), is a a car detailer: he washes and waxes your car deeper than any mop-like spaghetti-cloths. Think of it as a deep facial cleansing for your car. According to Rajic, anyone can do the actual cleansing process as long as they have time for practice and a little reading.
First, Rajic washes the cars in order to get rid of the dirt on the paint. "It should be done fairly often because the less dirt you are removing from the car, the less chance you have of scratching the finish with that dirt," he says.
Next, he dries the car, which is pretty self-explanatory, although he does recommend that it be done with microfiber drying towels as opposed to anything terry cloth. Drying should be done with a light hand, and minimal pressure.
A clay bar is used once the car is dry to remove contamination from rail dust, tar and any small particles that are impossible to remove by just washing the car. These particles sometimes emerge during simple washes and end up scratching the paint. The clay bar will make the paint feel smooth as glass, Rajic says.
The fourth step is polishing. "Polishing is the process of removing microscopic amounts of paint in order to level the swirl marks and scratches and make them invisible," explains Rajic. "Swirl marks are basically deeper than the paint level, so polishing removes paint around the swirl marks in order to make them even, or even enough to be invisible to the naked eye."
When done the right way, polishing will remove almost everything that can't be seen on the surface, as well as make the paint vibrant. If this step is not properly done, says Rajic, it can cause paint failure due to the removal of too much paint.
Sealing, which is also known as waxing, protects the finish. The sealant Rajic uses is usually a polymer, acrylic-based wax that lasts longer than the regular carnauba waxes often used in automobile waxes.
"[The polymer, acrylic-based wax] protects the finish by creating a barrier of protection from rain, snow, bird poop, salt," he explains. "It not only protects the paint, but makes washing easier as stuff comes off much easier than on a non-sealed surface, which is why it's very important to seal a car regularly and often."
The last and most important step is done by the owner. Rajic says that it's important to keep the car clean and waxed as often as possible. Proper upkeep allows for a longer paint life and it increases the value of the car. It also determines whether or not Rajic will take the time to work on your car. "I will turn away a client if they won't properly maintain their car," he says. "There's no point."
The process takes anywhere from seven to eight hours and starting at $350. He recommends that this process be done at least once a year, possibly less if the owner does his or her part to keep the car clean. Rajic also recommends that a car owner wash and wax properly every two to three months.

How to decipher Norwegian farm names
Here are some tips and tricks for deciphering Norwegian farm names
I am often asked to help decipher handwritten farm names. I also respond to requests on genealogy fora. Even though I have gotten better at reading Gothic handwriting, I seldom "call" the name until I have consulted Oluf Rygh's "Norwegian Farm Names.
Before we go on, I should say that this technique is not entirely failproof. At the end of the article I will cover a few things that you should note.
To effectively do this we need to know what parish the record is from. That's why I prefer to be presented a link to the actual record, and not a cut out picture of a limited section.
For this article I picked at random a parish where I am not familiar with the farm names. Here is the heading of the church record:
Quick link: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb20061020010441
I then go to "Norwegian farm names". I suggest you open this page and follow along my description.
As the counties are presented with the old designation "amt" and also their old names. I always check the introduction that tells me the old and new county names. I just can't seem to remember them.
The opening page also have a link to "More information about Norwegian Farm Names"
We have stated that we are dealing with the parish register from Rakkestad. When we start writing the name in the "Parish" field we see that a drop down menu appear and show us how we are doing:
When we then choose Rakkestad, we are presented with a list of all the farms in Rakkestad parish. That is; Rakkestad parish and the farms and their numbering as they were in 1886 when "Norwegian farm names" were published. This might have changed since.
This is the start of this list.
If you followed the link above you might already have had a look at the church record. Here is a screen grab where I have highlighted some names (This is on the top right side of the linked page. You can hover the mouse over this picture to enlarge it):
I have put in some numbered boxes. If we compare the names in the record with the farm names in "Norwegian farm names" we see that
- "Nordre Kaaen" must be what Rygh lists as Kaan nordre.
- "Mellebye" → Melleby (søndre)
- "Klepper" is hard to read, but helped by Rygh we recognise the name as Klepper
- "Fladberg" → Flatberg
- "Siølerud" must be Skjølerud
If we, like in example no. 5 find a name that is spelled somewhat similar, but not quite, we can check the box in front of the name, click the "Show" button. This brings up a list of different spellings of the farmname, found in various sources.
That is all there is to it. To learn to recognise the Gothic letters, you might want to check out "The Gotich syllabus"
– We may come across farm/place names that is not listed on this website.
– "Aa" is used instead of the modern "å"
– There are some parishes with the same name. We need to make sure we look at the right parish.
I have had a lot of help from the "Norwegian farm names" website. It is often the only way I, for certain, can determine a name.
If you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to leave a word below or send me an email by going to the "Contact page"

This is Wendy, Chad's wife – something went wrong tonight. Chad was doing a ritual, from that terrible old book. He said he understood it now, that he could stop the bizarre things that have been going on around here. I didn't really believe him, I can hardly believe anything that's been going on around here, but I didn't think anything could happen. I didn't think it was real.
He had been down there for a while, maybe a half hour, when I started hearing him crying out, yelling. A banging sound started and I grabbed the camera – Chad doesn't take the camera down to the rituals after William warned him against it, but he made me promise to grab it if anything weird started happening. There was this smell and horrible noises coming from the basement, and then things started happening – a plate flew across the floor and broke, a chair fell over, CDs started flying across the room. I was terrified, Chad was crying out, and then there was a banging on the basement door and Chad… he was hurt, there was blood all over him and his shirt was torn open. He had three big gashes across his back – not deep, but there was so much blood. He just lay there, breathing heavy but he was unconscious.
I don't know what to do – the bleeding has stopped, but he's not waking up. William, or any of you who have helped Chad – what do I do? I can't call an ambulance, what the hell do I tell them? What the hell happened down there?

Know These 10 Things Before Purchasing a Home
1. Before you start looking for a home, get pre-qualified for a loan. Banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers make home loans; mortgage brokers process loans through a variety of lenders. The lenders will take an application, process the loan documents, and see the loan through to the funding stage.
2. If you have marginal or bad credit, consult your lender. You may be able to qualify for a loan depending on how long ago and what reason(s) caused the bad credit.
3. You will need a down payment. Downpayment requirements vary depending on the type of loan. You may also qualify for federal or local down payment assistance. Consult a Realtor.
4. You will need funds for closing costs. Closing costs are charges for services related to the closing of your real estate transaction. They include, but are not limited to: Escrow fees, title policy issuance fees, mortgage insurance fees, fire, flood, and homeowners insurance, county recorder fees, and loan origination. Consult your lender for an actual estimate of their costs.
5. Some loans have "points" and some do not, A point is a loan origination fee equivalent to 1% of the amount. Together with the interest rate, they constitute the yield on your loan for the lender.
6. Mortgage rates can be fixed or adjustable. Which one is right for you depends on whether mortgage rates are at a high or a low point when you purchase, and on how long you plan to live in the home.
7. There are two main types of loan categories. Conventional mortgage loans are available with fixed or adjustable interest rates. Government loans include FHA fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans, and VA fixed rate mortgage loans.
8. If you are a low-to-moderate-income homebuyer, there are special programs designed to help you (check our some of my previous blog posts to learn about the current ones available). These loans are available through private lenders, as well as local and state housing agencies.
9. You may have to pay mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from potential loss if you should default on your mortgage loan payment. Mortgage insurance is always required on FHA mortgage loans.
10. Many organizations offer home loan counseling to prospective homebuyers. They will cover home selection, REALTOR services, lenders, loan programs, homeownership responsibilities, saving for a down-payment, and other important pieces of information.
