Hi Wayne-Thanks for answering me so soon- I do have both of the links you sent me about my gr.grandpa George Hranka- I got some more info from Tom Vadjik , too...but I can't find out anything about what happened to George after he got hurt--the family in Kuselov never found out anything about George, either. George was Tom's Gr.Grandpa too---He's the one who told me about George-- I never even knew my Grandma's parents names before Tom got in touch with me !!! How can I see a copy of the 1930 Census you talked about ??
I did find a Hranka in another state, but it seemed it was not the one I was looking for-------- talk to you again ------- Nancy Cole

Because of the abundance and accessibility of information available online, buyers have become more independent and no longer need to rely on engaging technology vendors directly to gain an understanding of their solutions. Instead, global technology buying teams are becoming more reliant on content and media, including white papers, case studies, and online videos, to effectively compare vendors and get information on the solutions that will best solve their technology problems.
As buyers arm themselves with the right tools and information to make more educated decisions, buy cycles are accelerating worldwide and marketers need to make sure their content marketing strategy is keeping pace. This study aims to provide marketers with a complete understanding of how technology buying teams from different regions of the world consume content and expect to engage with vendors during the research process.

Representing Ethnography
Reading, Writing and Rhetoric in Qualitative Research
- Paul Atkinson - Cardiff University, UK
- Sara Delamont - Cardiff University, UK
This major work, Ethnographic Discourse, brings together into one set all the important material on this 'rhetorical turn' in qualitative research. Many of the critiques of the rhetorical turn are particularly hard to obtain and have never been gathered together in an accessible way.
Volume I focuses on the contexts and controversies of this type of discourse.
Volume II covers the reading of qualitative research in a range of disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology and history, and gives classic examples of the ways in which text can be read.
Volume III examines the rhetorical turn in terms of analysis and voice.
Volume IV showcases how ethnographic realities are represented to give readers a good coverage of all the possibilities.

AFAA National Website
AFAA stands for the Automatic Fire Alarm Association.
The national chapter of the AFAA was formed in 1953 and is the only national trade association exclusively dedicated to representing the automatic fire detection and fire alarm systems industry.
The Association is committed to influencing codes and standards at all levels to make buildings safer through the proper application of automatic fire detection and fire alarm systems. It actively participates in the code change process of the model building code organizations (IBC and NFPA), and the associated code hearings.
The membership is made up of all segments of industry, such as manufacturers, distributors, installers, users, authorities having jurisdiction, engineers, and anyone else interested in fire alarm.
The MD-DC-VA chapter of the AFAA was formed in the 1990's and our founding chapter President was Bob Harding. The MD-DC-VA chapter has grown to nearly 100 members, and was chosen as "Chapter of the Year" at the annual National AFAA meeting in 1998, again in 2001, and again in 2004.

Heroes for the American Red Cross Campaign
For generations,the Red Cross has been providing Heroes to our communities. In order for the Red Cross to meet our commitments to our communities now and in the future, we need citizens willing to be a "Hero" for the American Red Cross.
An individual or volunteer becomes a "Hero" by agreeing to raise money for the American Red Cross. The funds can be raised in a variety of ways. Individuals may work alone or may choose to involve their company, civic club, church, or school in their fund raising efforts. An individual or business may also choose to donate the needed money.
The Heroes campaign is classic "grassroots" fundraising, designed to tap literally hundreds of small donors and capitalize on the high regard in which the American public holds the American Red Cross.

Go HERE for more photos, and TAG your friends!
On Saturday night, hundreds of music fanatics piled into DC's "Embassy of Rock and Roll," the Hard Rock Cafe, to jam out to The Silver Liners, Gringo Star and VOODOO FARM with LocalHeadphones.
It was Gringo Star's last show in the 'States. They jetted across the pond after the show to kick off their tour of Europe.
LocalHeadphones, BarTab, and Pinkberry put the evening together. VOODOO FARM was off to a rough start as the speakers kept overloading, but after a few glitches, the party was on and people danced to his beats into the wee hours of the morning.
LocalHeadphones, aka "LoPho," merges music and social media by linking bands, venues and fans. People can share music, or find out where and when their favorite acts are playing. Create a DC login HERE!
[Photo: John Reardon and Eddie Sniezek]
LoPho was founded by John Reardon and Eddie Sniezek, who have been friends since their days at Gonzaga. The LoPho project is still in beta mode, but the idea already has a big following, which was clear on Saturday.
Reardon told Guest of a Guest, "We hope to become 'ambassadors' for local music by providing a social environment for fans to connect, as well as help coordinate with bands and venues to put on fun and exciting shows.
"We're working on re-designing our website, which we hope will serve as the central place for bands, fans and venues to interact as part of DC's social music network. In the meantime, we'll be hosting more concerts to help build excitement and awareness of the great artists and venues we have here in DC."
We spotted: Joey Haynos (Miami Dolphins), William Burr, Margaret Anne McArver, Richard Lee, Jonathan Taft, Joe Gaither, Brannen Blazer, Pat Andrews, Christian Zeigler, Laura Piggott, Lois Foote, Katie Yee, Jesse Meyer-Appel, Jason Collins, Brian Hogan, Charlotte Yerkovich and Wendy Blue.

Join us for an inside look at the enTouch implementation at Centegra Health System. Centegra began using enTouch for improved communication with post-acute providers around their high-risk BPCI patients.
Over 5 million patients transition from hospitals to skilled nursing facilities each year. Millions of others transition from hospitals to their homes, rehabilitation centers and other care settings. Social workers are central to these transitions. They are tasked with discharge planning and coordinating post-acute care from the early stages of a patient's hospitalization. Their responsibility often follows patients as they move among different caregiver settings.
As the number of seniors continues to rise in the United States, so does the need for home health agencies that are instrumental in providing lower cost, long-term care in the home. Among the 67,000 long-term care providers who took care of over 9,000,000 patients in the year 2014, the CDC reports that roughly 13,000 were home health agencies charged with taking care of patients in the home. In the recent years, the increasing pressure from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to bundle payments and reduce hospital readmissions has led hospitals to seek out home health agencies that can provide the most optimal and efficient care for their patients in the post-acute care setting. Now is the time for home health agencies to differentiate themselves in a fragmented market. A sound marketing strategy, consisting of three key steps, can make a meaningful difference.
With the transition to value-based payment models in healthcare, Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) are seeing a greater need for more efficient care management for high-risk patients and an urgency to manage smarter transitions quickly. According to study performed by Beckers, 66% of readmissions happen within the first 15 days after a hospital discharge. This urgency puts a whole new focus on care transitions from hospital to post-acute care providers and their role amongst the broad care team to keep patients at home longer.

When investing in real estate, it is imperative that you get a good return on your investment. A lot of people through the years come to know that investing in real estate can make them a lot of money. The following are ideas that you can use to make smart real estate choices.
You must do some market analysis and research prior to becoming a real estate investor. Look at a bunch of properties to get a good idea on what locations are successful, and keep notes on it. Things to list include current pricing, projected rent earnings, and repair budgets. This will allow you to target the right properties.
Take time to do investing, and take time to learn about it. Thus, you might need to cut other things in order to boost your chances of making lots of money. Let go of some of your recreational time and invest it in your property.
Stay with categories in which you are comfortable. You can have much more success at real estate investing if you stay focused within your market niche. Perhaps you want to work with fixer-uppers, starter homes or even renting; the key is to find the segment you like and have success with.
Location is among the most essential aspects of a investment property. Other factors, like the condition of a property, can be altered. Properties in areas that depreciate rapidly usually result in bad investments. Taking your time to research the area the house is located in can help your investment to be successful.
Find and talk to other real estate investors. You need to make personal connections with anyone you might learn from. It can be useful to have a few real estate investor friends. You can find like-minded people by looking online. Read over some online forums and meet like-minded people.
When negotiating deals, take the time to listen, rather than doing all the talking. You may be shocked to find out that people can negotiate against what they say when they they're allowed to talk a lot. On top of that, with good listening, you're more likely to discern the appropriate positioning you can use to score a good deal.
Don't dig around your property when you're dealing with real estate and trying to do a home improvement until you call someone to see if there are lines buried around the property. In some cities, you can be cited for digging without finding this out first because of the extreme damage you can cause if you hit a line.
Make sure you can recoup your investment, and then some. If you are able to invest in properties just to get the money back you spent, you'll be wasting time which costs you. Make the changes you want to make to renovate the property, and always list it for more than you paid for it.
Since you just read a great article with many good real estate investment strategies, you can now begin the process of getting started. Real estate investments can be a secure way for you to get a good return on your money, if you make the right choices. The article above has given you a great start.

Greetings from the land of summer vacation! School has been out for about two and a half weeks. In that time, I've read four books, gone jogging every other day, worked on my (absolutely horrible, but slowly improving) golf game, brought my car in for repair, had a checkup with my doctor, booked a teeth cleaning, tended to the yard, cleaned, saw friends and family...
There's a lot one can do when one has time. Many of the aspects of my life that I neglect during the school year can finally be tended to during the summer. When I am on vacation, I really try to focus my energies on things other than school. Periodically though, thoughts of school and teaching pop up.
Later this month I will meet with nine other teachers of freshmen in hopes of developing some common strategies to help the incoming 9th grade students acclimate themselves to the rigor and demands of high school work. We're meeting across disciplines to talk about ways to help them with organization, notetaking, reading, writing, study skills, homework, asking questions, speaking in front of the class... skills that can be used in any academic environment.
In August I'm going to hit Vermont's Long Trail with one of my old high school buddies, then after that my wife and I will spend a week at the beach on the North Shore of Massachusetts. After a few more days of R&R, I will trek back into school to begin setting up my classroom and preparing lessons for my new students.

Joba's Vulcan Neck Pinch
The wildness of Interleague play is nearing its end, but we have had the rare pleasure of seeing David Ortiz playing the infield in Washington. Amazingly, moving laterally didn't cause any long-term damage, and Papi even homered in the game. He is a consistent starter now, and if you had the patience to weather the early-season (2.5 month) storm, he should be able to produce for you now. Who would have thought that this could all be from dry, sore eyes. Is it too late for Ben Stein to try his hand in the Minors?
Last night's game in Atlanta featured a bit of a scare. Joba Chamberlain stepped up to the plate to hit for himself (since pitchers can't be delicate little flowers in NL ballparks), crouched that stout, block-like frame into the right-hand batter's box, and waited. Kenshin Kawakami went into his wind, and whizzed a fastball on the outer half of the plate; Chamberlain swung...
Next thing we knew, Kawakami was down, the ball was slowly creeping across the infield grass, and Chamberlain grounded out off of Kawakami's neck. If that tub could run, he might have beat it out to break up Kawakami's 3.0-inning perfect game. We're used to seeing pitchers duck, bob and weave to try to avoid liners. Make no mistake, that pitcher's mound is not far from the plate. Chris Young (Padres) took a smash right off the face a couple years back. It's really a testament to his competitive spirit that he was able to recover, and remained willing to toe the rubber. Kawakami had to leave the game due to soreness in his shoulder and neck region, so it seems like the situation could have been much worse, but frightening nonetheless. Even stranger was that it was the opposing pitcher who hit it, and you just know Joba had a moment where his mind flashed to his own body on that mound watching a smash whistle by.
Hopefully Kawakami will be fine soon, and can get back to pitching. The Yankees were the eventual winners of the game, Joba got the W instead of a no-decision for once, Joe Girardi got tossed arguing a pick-off (for the record, he was right -- the ump blew the call) and we'll see if this game wakes up the pinstriped ones.
Down in Anaheim, there was a Garrett Atkins sighting. He clubbed a homer and drove in 2 of the Rockies 3 runs, but the Angels had the last laugh. This is certainly not enough evidence that Atkins is back, as he occupied the DH spot against a lefty, but at least he saw some action, and might be worth starting when he goes against southpaws.

Today marks my three-month "anniversary" at Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro. There wasn't as much fanfare as I had hoped here in the office. In fact, two members of our staff are home sick. I guess that's what happens the day after you've just completed a rigorous May issue that included the always-exciting-to-produce Buyers' Guide. The good thing is, now that my first 90 days are up, I'm no longer under a probationary period. I can now do or say what I want--until I get fired for violating certain office codes.
I know this is not late November, but I'm in a thankful mood. Specifically, I'm thankful to Bally Total Fitness for providing us news on an almost daily basis. I know that Bally has seen better days, and I wish nothing but the best for all of those involved with Bally. It's kind of like when I covered sports teams. I didn't openly root for those teams, but I liked to see them do well. And if they didn't, for me, it was on to the next game or the next story. No emotional strings attached.
What I do look forward to is the next big story--good, bad or indifferent. Our Top News stories the last three months (including the upcoming May issue), included a look at Bally and two stories that originated out of California.
So I guess I have the Golden State (not the Warriors) to thank as well. Perhaps I'll send the Governator a thank-you note or a bouquet of flowers. Better yet, he should send me something for my three-month-iversary.


text: The Strawberry Cafe is located in the historic railroad depot at the heart of Madison. The Strawberry Cafe was the first restaurant in Madison, established in 1987. It was named after the fact that strawberries were produced in the area and distributed by train from the railroad depot; therefore, creating Madison. The current owners bought the café in August of 2005, changing everything except the name, in hopes of creating a restaurant in Madison with a comfortable atmosphere and great food.

Reviewed by Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com
Toca Life: Farm is an app from developer, Toca Boca. I have previously reviewed Toca Life: City, (Feb 9, 2018) Toca Life: Town, and Toca Band.
From the developer:
- Explore four locations: barn, house, field and store.
- Create stories for 29 new characters plus all the animals!
- Feed the animals, milk the cow and gather eggs from your hens.
- Bottle the milk from the milk tank.
- Help the vet check the animals.
- Let the pigs (or people!) wallow in the mud.
- Clean up different types of animal poop!
- Grab the banjo, fiddle, guitar or washbucket bass and jam into the night!
- Pick fruit in your orchard.
- Farm your crops from planting to harvest.
- Use your tractor's different functions to farm faster!.
- Fire up the food machine to turn your harvest into food.
- Record your stories in the app and share with your friends!
- No time limit or high scores — play for as long as you like!
- No third-party advertising
What I liked:
There are lots of activities to engage kids in this app as you'll see in the list above. I especially liked the fact that Toca Life: Farm provides a way for children to tell a story with their voice and by moving characters. The end result is a short video that can be saved to the camera roll. Again the emphasis is on children exploring and having fun rather than competing. I love apps that encourage kids to create and use their imaginations rather than raising anxiety levels with zombie slaughter!
Where do I get it?
I'll be adding this app to my list of iPad apps that kids can create with, and my list of tools that involve kids in digital storytelling.

Compose your football trips to the Süper Lig and experience Turkish football live
Sunny Turkey offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation during a football trip to the Süper Lig!
The Süper Lig is the highest football league in Turkey and, thanks to the extremely fanatical supporters that constantly demand the best of their club, you can see top football played every week.
It was actually the British who introduced football to Turkey in the late 19th century. Yet for English players like Jake Jervis and Anton Ferdinand, the Turkish football was a whole new experience for them.
The fanaticism of the supporters, the tension during the matches: you too can experience it up close! That's why a football trip to the Süper Lig will be an experience you'll never forget!

Injuries to seaman and passengers, at sea or in port, involve rules, regulations and legal principles that can vary significantly from other forms of personal injury law. And more than boats are covered, including barges, drilling platforms, and all forms of shipping including cargo, cruise ships and down to tugs or even jet skis. Indeed, if it floats and you have been injured or damaged by or in it, you may well have an injury involving admiralty law or maritime law.
The United States Admiralty and Maritime Law applies specifically to shipping and navigation, whether private or commercial, and covers accidents involving water, seamen, towage, docks, piers, wharves and piracy. This complex area of negligibility is not the place to depend upon the guidance of an insurance company or boat owners, whose primary goal is too often to save money. The areas of legal responsibility are complex and need an experienced maritime lawyer or admiralty attorney like those at Harrell & Harrell.
An injury caused by an owner or operator of a boat or other water-related obstruction can be devastating, all too often fatal, and our maritime accident lawyers know how to properly pursue the avenues necessary to seek a just and fair compensation.
As with any accidental injury, be sure you understand all the possibilities. Never discuss any settlement with an insurance company — let the experienced lawyers at Harrell & Harrell handle that responsibility for you. We fight big insurance companies and corporations every day.
Maritime workers have challenging jobs that carry some unique and very dangerous risks. Even though workers, employers, vessel owners and transportation officials take precautions to minimize workplace risks, equipment failures, faulty directives, misinformation and/or a loss of control due to weather or other hazardous conditions can result in unexpected accidents with devastating consequences.
The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) has already launched its investigation, separate from the Coast Guard's inquiry, into the missing 790-foot El Faro cargo ship that sank off the Bahamas during Hurricane Joaquin with 391 shipping containers on deck. There were 33 crew members on board when the freighter sank but the ship's owner, TOTE Maritime, has not released a list of crew members. Authorities have confirmed that 28 Americans and 5 Polish seamen were on board at the time of the tragedy. TOTE Maritime's president and CEO said the ship's captain was aware of the tropical weather that was forecast to develop into a major hurricane but had a plan to sail ahead of the hurricane.
Red Cross officials have announced that they have representatives available to support the family members of the crew who live in or have traveled to Jacksonville, Florida, to wait for information. El Faro left from JaxPort's Blount Island facilities bound for San Juan, Puerto Rico, but reported that the ship had suffered a loss of power and was taking on water. With a loss of propulsion, the cargo ship was left floating in 15,000 feet of water north of Crooked Island, Bahamas. The ship had 2 fiberglass lifeboats that were designed to be unsinkable even if they carried a full crew of 43 people and filled with sea water. The cargo ship also had 5 emergency life rafts on board.
When performing any job at sea, it is important for workers and their loved ones to understand their rights under the Jones Act of 1920. This federal statute has been modified several times but primarily grants the possibility of compensation when a seaman is killed or injured while carrying out his or her duties. Based upon the role each played in creating an unsafe condition, the accident victim or certain family members can sue employers for the negligence of the ship owner, the captain or fellow members of the crew. It also allows seamen to bring actions against ship owners based on claims of un-seaworthiness or negligence which is not afforded by common international maritime law.
The Jones Act also allows an injured seaman or their survivors (the plaintiff) the right to a jury trial, which is not afforded by general maritime laws that do not have a specific statute authorizing such actions. In addition to the Jones Act, is the DOHSA (or Death on the High Seas Act) which is a United States admiralty law that was originally enacted to permit recovery of damages against a ship's owner by a spouse, child or dependent family member of a seamen killed in international waters. The DOHSA only applies to wrongful death cases caused by negligence or un-seaworthiness of a ship.
While maritime laws can seem overwhelming and complex, dealing with personal injuries or the loss of a loved one at sea has a lot in common with other personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits. At Harrell and Harrell, our attorneys are keenly aware of how each lawsuit needs to be investigated, documented and presented to show exactly how an incident happened and to identify where neglect or a failed process may have played a critical role in the outcome. It is our legal team's excellent attention to details that have helped us establish how a vessel's owner, fleet manager, contractors who worked on the ship, crew members or equipment manufacturers may be liable for damages.

A mid-day in XiaMen University, Sepang
Is Blogging Dead in Malaysia? It's not what it used to be but blogging is far from dead, or so this social media journalist told a group of journalism students at the XiaMen University yesterday.
If the power of Dr Mahathir's blog is anything to go by, then blogs are still very relevant to Malaysians today. And if Dr Mahathir is, in turn, affected by blogs of the so-called little Goebbels (like Big Dog's and Salleh Said Keruak's) and that (he thinks) we are standing in his way of bringing down another Prime Minister to save the notion (sic), then these bloggers must be a force to be reckoned with!
Generally, however, blogs lag far behind social media platforms. But experienced and credible bloggers will use their blogs to rise above the din and the chaos of social media and, that way, remain visible to a large audience. They could evolve into a guest-blogging portal like Huffington Post but that will require a lot more resources.
I had never given a "lecture" before and I must say I enjoyed the experience. Dr Siti Suriani's (Foundation) students are an attentive and curious lot: every one had one question, at least. I don't believe in what I am writing, so how do I deal with my conscience in the newsroom? Is it better to be a blogger than a journalist? What was the most outrageous thing I've encountered as a journalist?
The brand new 60ha university campus - its first intake was in February - is located on the rolling hills of Bandar Sunsuria, somewhere in Sepang. It oversees a beautiful lake which welcomes the visitor as he takes the stairs to the third floor of the main building.
"Waaah, you have a big swimming pool there," I poked Jacky, pointing towards the lake.
"Oh, the swimming pool is on the Fourth, sir," he poked back. Same floor as the gym and the surau.
XMU [Malaysia] is the first Chinese university overseas campus approved by the Government of China. The agreement to build the campus was signed this month three years ago (Oct 4 2013), witnessed by the Chinese President Xi Jianping and Malaysian PM Najib Razak. The medium of instruction is English and student composition is one-third Malaysian, one-third Chinese, and one-third International.

We are experiencing a period in which the population is crying out for 'Action for the Climate'. We believe that it is our role as scientists to support the debate with objective scientific information, and also that it is our role, as a conscientious citizen, to contribute to the reflections on how we can adapt our lifestyle and our way of working to contribute to a climate-neutral society, and to translate these reflections into action.
On Friday, April 13, 2018, the Danish ASIM experiment was installed on the outside of the European Columbus module of the ISS International Space Station. The instrument gives us insight into the luminous phenomena that take place over violent thunderstorms. The Belgian B.USOC is responsible for the infrastructure and operations of ASIM.
Two years after its launch, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) finally settles in its final orbit around Mars. The satellite, which carries the instrument NOMAD of the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) on board, has just completed one year of atmospheric deceleration and is now circling around Mars every 2 hours, some 400 km above the Martian surface.
The precise measurement of the solar spectrum outside the atmosphere and its variability are fundamental inputs for solar physics (Sun modeling), terrestrial atmospheric photochemistry and the Earth's climate (climate 's modeling).

Astronomy: Effemeridi (Ephemeris)
Post: #21
RE: Astronomy: Effemeridi (Ephemeris)
here there is an ancillary program to Effemeridi (Astrolabio) and Astro Lab 4, with some tools to get interpolation (3, 5 points and Lagrange).
The tools are:
interpolation of 3 or 5 values
finding the "n" interpolation factor
finding the extremum (minimum, maximum of a list to interpolate)
finding the zero (3 or 5 values)
"halves" (4 values)
get a value with Lagrange interpolation.
Typical example: interpolation({1.9556788, 1.97345409, 1.965049586}, 0.18), nzero3({1.9556788, 1.97345409, 1.965049586}) ...
Very useful for RA (right ascension) and Declination (or lambda, beta: longitude, latitude) for an aster or planet or to find conjunction of planets, least angular distance and so on...

RE: Astronomy: Effemeridi (Ephemeris)
New version!
thanks to Marcel and RoadRunner, this version check if the app Astro Lab 4 is installed, and if yes, it uses to calculate planets, the app, with much more precision, otherwise it use the old method, with a few arc seconds (in some cases arc minutes) of "error" (very few, however).
Added also other printing improvements (thanks Road!): now the user can tap or drag on screen when the printing results are given, to get other pages...
Improved routine to get phase, illumination, magnitudo of planets.
Improved routine to get phase, illumination, magnitudo of the Moon, also giving "selenographic phase angle", angle of the illuminated limb (χ) and cuspis of the illuminated part.
Exported new functions:
- to calculate Stellar composite magnitudo (giving a list of magnitudes)
- to calculate Apparent and absolute magnitudo for 18 asteroids and comets (giving distance from Sun, distance from Earth and a list with the date (i.e. {2015,7,22}) )
- to calculate Albedo for a few asteroids
- to calculate Semidiameter for an asteroid (giving absolute magnitude and albedo: in the comment inside the program the principal ones).
Other minor bug corrected.

RE: Astronomy: Effemeridi (Ephemeris)
New improved Version:
New routine to calculate the most important Asteroids (and ex Comets): data about eccentricity, inclination, semi-major axis, mean anomaly, argument of perihelion, node, right ascension and declination, longitude and latitude, passage through perihelion, distance from Earth and Sun, diameter (approximate), magnitudo and albedo.
If instead of anomaly the user knows the date of passage at perihelion, he could calculate anomaly with the function anomaly() that requires a (semi-major axis), eccentricity, date of passage to the perihelion and actual date list, to give mean, eccentric and true anomaly.
For now included four series (the most brilliant and/or important or famous):
1 Ceres, 2 Pallas, 3 Juno, 4 Vesta, 5 Astrea, 6 Hebe, 7 Iris, 8 Flora, 9 Metis;
15 Eunomia, 18 Melpomene, 19 Fortuna, 20 Massalia, 22 Kalliope;
243 Ida, 433 Eros, 437 Rhodia, 1566 Icarus, 1620 Geographos, 1862 Apollo, 2060 Chiron, 2062 Aten;
dwarf planets (Ceres is in the first series, Pluto among planets): Haumea, Eris, Makemake,
plus a function to calculate an elliptical orbit given eccentricity, inclination, semi-major axis, anomaly, argument of perihelion and Node (from Almanac or online ephemerides): the default is set on comet 2P/Encke (data 2014 August)...
Passage through perihelion and aphelion for planets (for now approximate for Neptune, not so easy to treat and Pluto, but better than Neptune in some way).
Exported variables for passage through perihelion and orbital period for planets, bodies with elliptical and parabolic motion (comets...).
Included also two functions to calculate passage through perihelion given anomaly or anomaly given passage date...
Function to calculate passage through nodes (ascending and descending) for planets, elliptic and parabolic bodies...
Function to calculate perigee and apogee of the Moon (with relatives parallaxes) for a given date and passages through the nodes of the Moon.
Some data are still approximated (better precision coming, but sometimes isn't easy to do better, i.e. with slow farthest planets...) but very interesting.

Your assets in a bankruptcy case: Inheritance and Life Insurance received before your case is filed.
INHERITANCE BEFORE YOU FILE: In any chapter of bankruptcy one of the questions we will ask is whether or not someone has passed away before we file your case, and if you have received or will receive an inheritance or life insurance proceeds. This is life insurance money, inherited IRA's, or your share of an estate. Anything that you have inherited before you filed your case is considered one of your assets. This is an asset that can be used to pay your debts.
It does not matter that the land or buildings are still in the deceased owner's name. It also does not matter if there is an ongoing probate case that has not concluded so you do not know what you will get yet.
The law is that if someone has passed away before you file a bankruptcy case, what you will receive from that estate is part of your bankruptcy estate and can be used to pay your debts. We see this frequently; where someone has died and their land has never been divided or sold. The home, mountain land, or farm land still belongs to the family.
Here at this office we can advise you on how these assets may be protected.
Inheritance and Life Insurance to be received after your case is filed.
INHERITANCE AFTER YOU FILE: Within 180 days of the time you filed your bankruptcy case; if someone passes away and you will receive life insurance benefits, money or accounts of any kind, an interest in land or buildings, or possessions; then that inheritance is part of your bankruptcy case and it can be used to pay your debts. If this happens you need to notify us immediately so we can determine how this terrible event affects your case.

45 Lovely Christmas Eve Landscapes
One of my favourite images when I think of Christmas Eve is a charming house, lights glowing, while the soft, snowy landscape lies peacefully around it. It is a scene of tranquillity.
Sure, inside the place might be different. It could be abuzz with relatives to the rafters, full of lively conversation and boisterous laughter. It could be a story with different scenes in each room, children running and playing, adults engaged in entertaining pursuits. In one spot the tree twinkles softly in a corner, in another people crowd around a table where discussions range from the comical to the occasional conflict.
When I am one of those acting out that tale inside, with all the comfort and complexity that means being part of a family, my mind will stray from time to time to how our version of a homey little world looks from outside, as calm and perfect as those in these lovely images from iCLIPART.com

How to Photograph Your Christmas Tree
Once the children left home the responsibility of this fell squarely on my shoulders for several years. And for several years I moaned over the pesky lights. Strings that lit when tested then failed to light after painstakingly weaving them through the branches and plugging them in.
Of course this always only happened after several strings had been added to the tree. Each time it did happen I threatened to dump the tree in favour of a pre-lit gem. Each time I threatened, my husband talked me out of it.
Until he helped me this year and began to sing my song. After a succession of strands with half of the bulbs out and even one that mysteriously decided to flash, shopping for a new tree that would have that chore done became the stuff of serious discussion. The project after all, had taken two of us six valuable hours to finish, thanks to those lights.
Needless to say, when the work was finally done getting a picture of the stately display this year took on a whole new meaning. Rather than a memory of our 2014 tree, it was more about proof that we can achieve in the face of adversity.
Getting photos of the annual Christmas tree, for whatever the reason, is a popular practice in most homes. It's soft glow is a charming image on its own, and the perfect backdrop for family photos.
To capture it perfectly, though, can be tricky. Here are some helpful tips to get it right:

Urban traffic management has as main task to keep the traffic flowing in the city's road network. In order to perform the work optimally, accurate information on the current traffic situation and prediction on the future traffic is needed, so that they can take appropriate decisions and inform travellers on problems occurring at the city road network. A wide range of data is available, e.g. from sensors embedded in the road network or installed at the road side, from traffic cameras, from vehicles (floating car data), and from social networks.
Traffic policies are changing cities to become more pedestrian, cycling and public-transport friendly, which put challenges to traffic management to keep traffic congestion minimal and to inform both vehicle drivers, other road users and public transport passengers on the traffic situation and potential disruptions.
The pilot is located in the city of Tampere in Finland, which is the largest inland city in the Nordic countries. Major infrastructure works are ongoing in Tampere, such as the construction of the tram network and the overarching of the railroad near the main railway station.
The first objective in the Tampere pilot is to provide tools for urban traffic management. This is performed by increasing the number of data sources, such as traffic cameras, social media, and data sources on roadworks, as well as integrating and analysing data.
The second objective is to provide tools for informing drivers and public transport users regarding traffic status and traffic disruptions.
The third objective is to improve urban logistics, by providing tools to improve the access of goods delivery vehicles to parking places. For this purpose a reservation system for selected parking places for goods delivery will be deployed and piloted.

Crown Thinning
Crown thinning is the removal of a small portion of secondary and small live branches to produce a uniform density of foliage around an evenly spaced branch structure. Crown thinning includes crown cleaning and should not alter the overall size or shape of the tree.
Why have it done?
It is usually confined to broad-leaved, hardwood species and is used to increase the light penetration and air movement throughout the crown of the tree or to lessen the weight of heavy branches. this can improve the tree's structure and form while making life uncomfortable for the unwanted pests.
Crown Lifting
Crown lifting is the removal of the lowest branches, and pruning/reducing of lower branches for future removal, normally to a uniform height from ground level.
Why have it done?
Common reasons for crown lifting are to bring more light and provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, buildings or lines of sight. Minimum heights are usually dictated by local laws. In the U.K. common practice dictates clearance should be 5.2 metres (approx 17ft) for vehicles and 2.5metres (approx 8ft) for pedestrians
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of the crown of a tree by the removal of the ends of branches whilst maintaining the tree's natural shape as far as possible.
Why have it done?
Crown reduction is often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space. It is preferred to topping because it results in a more natural appearance, increases the time before pruning is needed again and minimises stress.
This type of pruning can be completed for a number of reasons to achieve a range of management objectives, from purely aesthetic when used to shape an entire canopy, to the reduction of one limb where excessive weight may threaten failure.
Dead Wood Removal
Here the removal of dead, dying, diseased, detached or broken branches is specified to improve crown appearance and the overall tree aesthetics. The removal of such branches may also be considered desirable where they represent a risk to persons or property. This process also allows the tree to compartmentalize more efficiently.
Tree Felling
Felling is the complete removal of a tree down to ground level. This work involves the careful lowering of branches and timber so as not to cause any damage or destruction to surrounding plants and structures. The stump will be left as close to the ground as possible but will be above soil level.
What may look like a healthy tree on the outside could be rotten on the inside. Our trained specialists are available to inspect the trees on your property and, if seriously damaged or diseased, we can safely remove them for you
Formative Pruning
Formative pruning helps to train young, developing trees or shrubs to produce a framework of strong, evenly spaced stems or branches and many future structural problems can be rectified early on.
The main objective of this type of pruning is to encourage the formation of good stem and branch structure, by improving the orientation, spacing, growth rate, strength of attachment and ultimately size of branches..

Pictured: Harvard Golf at The Golf Channel – Michael Breed's show "The Fix"
Travel & Faldo Golf Institute – Saturday,
March 13
By Katie Sylvan '13
On Friday afternoon, the Harvard Women's Golf Team began its journey to Orlando, Florida, where it would spend its Spring Break. While the seniors were absent and on their way to play Augusta National, the underclassmen were given a taste of next year's Meeptatorship (referring to rising senior and team leader, Mia Kabasakalis, aka Meep). After landing safely in Tampa, we took the one-hour drive to our house in Orlando, where we would be staying for the week. Jane and Katie were the lottery winners of the night, and had the privilege of staying in rooms adorned with Disney princesses and Mickey Mouse, respectively. Once situated, we all went to bed, tired after a long day of traveling and ready to get a good night's sleep in preparation for the next day's practice.
We left to practice at 10:30 the next morning, stopping at IHOP on the way for a quick breakfast (Chloe was thrilled to discover that IHOP does, in fact, serve oatmeal). Arriving at the Faldo Institute, the team got to work. After a long winter, it was fun and refreshing to finally be practicing outdoors, and we were able to put in a lot of work to sharpen our games before the upcoming spring season. A few heated putting contests got us back into the competitive spirit, and we enjoyed being able to work as a team and practice together once more. At around six, we finished practicing and headed over to the Publix grocery store in order to stock up on food for the week. After successfully flooding our kitchen, we made some dinner, surfed some channels, and headed off to bed, getting a good night sleep before our first full round of golf the next morning.
Black Diamond Ranch – Sunday, March 14
By Jane Lee '12
On Sunday, both the women's and men's teams headed to Lecanto, Florida to play an afternoon round on the beautiful Quarry Course at Black Diamond Ranch. For the women, it was the first round of eighteen since the end of the fall season, and all team members were eager to be back outside. The day was sunny and warm—a welcome respite from the cold and wet weather in Cambridge.
The Quarry Course proved to be a challenging test for the two teams as we faced gusty winds in addition to a formidable layout that centered around an old stone quarry. But despite the difficulty posed by several of the holes, each one was beautifully designed and very enjoyable to play. The most memorable stretch of holes was Number Fourteen through Number Seventeen. These holes, which wrap around quarry cliffs at varying elevations, were breathtakingly spectacular and frequently the backdrop to impromptu photographs.
It was quite a privilege to have the chance to play at a club as renowned as Black Diamond Ranch, which is consistently ranked as one of the top one hundred courses in America. Playing the Quarry Course was most definitely a unique and challenging experience not to be missed. Thank you to our member host, Ed Westfall, and Head Golf Professional Lynn Janson for helping us to gain access to such a wonderful course.
Faldo Institute, Grand Pines & The Golf Channel
– Monday, March 15
By Chloe Altchek '13
On Monday, we had a great early morning practice session at the Faldo institute to build on our work over the winter months. We then crossed the street to Grand Pines where we grabbed a quick lunch and enjoyed a few putting contests before teeing off. As one of the pros at the course kept repeating, they "really turned up the wind for us." However, we were privileged to some great pump-up music from one of the Disney Resort restaurants across one of the water hazards to motivate us through the tough conditions. Further, the baby alligators that lined the ponds gave us extra incentive to stay out of the water. All in all, we had a great time and really enjoyed the beautiful course.
We rushed off the course to get to the Golf Channel headquarters where we were given an insider's view into the inner workings of the station. Thanks to the help and generosity of Larry Kahn '83, we were lucky enough to be on set for Michael Breed's show "The Golf Fix." We were sorry to learn that we just missed Annika Sorenstam who had been there earlier filming for the show. The enthusiastic Breed spoke about tempo and gave us a few drills to get Ernie's rhythm. Although we didn't get to see Annika live, we did get to watch her segment in which she gave some great advice on the mental game. Her three main points were: one, everyone gets nervous, accept it and learn to channel it; two, remind yourself that you've done this a million times; three, stick to your routine. We were also given a peek into the control room where we saw the complicated process of how the show! is made and run.
Following our great visit, we were joined by Mr. Kahn and for a fun and festive dinner. Bodies tired and bellies full, we headed home to rest up after our great day.
Interlachen – Tuesday, March 16
By Mia Kabasakalis '11
On Tuesday, the men and women's teams played Interlachen Country Club, hosted by the men's team captain Danny Mayer.
The practice facilities were excellent and all team members were excited to be playing at a teammates homes course. The mood brightened even more after a delicious buffet lunch. After eating quite a bit more than their fill, the girls teed off. The course was in great shape and had an interesting layout, with sneaky hazards that waited for unsuspecting golf balls.
Freshman Katie Sylvan hit the long drive on hole 10 and senior Claire Sheldon stuck her approach on 11 to 3 feet for closest to the pin. Our other freshman, Chloe Altchek, holed out from 110 yards on the 12th hole for a tin cup-style finish, after unfortunately hitting into the water 3 times.
The team topped off their rounds with some practicing and then headed to the Mayers' house for a barbeque. Dr. and Mrs. Mayer were wonderful hosts. The night was marked with lots of food, ping pong, and playing with the Mayers' dog Millie. At the end of the night, Fred Schernecker, a member of the basketball team during his time at Harvard, was challenged to a friendly game by Danny Mayer - for a second it looked like Danny would come out on top but Fred quickly proved his basketball skills were still intact and won the game.
A special thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Mayer for hosting at Interlachen and having us all to dinner at their house.
Mountain Lake – Wednesday, March 17
By Sarah Harvey '10
The morning was a bit damp, but the members of the Harvard golf team happily hopped into their carts, pulled out their umbrellas, and embarked on a day of challenging golf at the beautiful Mountain Lakes Golf Course in Lake Wales, Florida. Arriving shortly after 9:00 am to get in some practice putts and a few swings at the range, the first group was off number one by 10. The front nine of the 1916 Seth Raynor design proved to be interesting, with difficult pin placements and speedy greens testing the skills of the golfers. In particular, the swale in the green of number five (a biairritz green similar to #9 at Yale) offered many players a full swing with a putter to get from the front of the green to the back pin of the long par three.
At the turn, golfers consumed any assortment of delicious ginger cookies, snacks, and hot or cold sandwiches--so good no one seemed capable of resisting. Unfortunately, the full bellies of the players couldn't slow down the greens. By late morning the greens were even quicker, as the clouds had gotten a chance to pass over the golf course and the sun had dried the morning's rain from the greens. Fast greens aside, the back nine offered beautiful views of the golf course's namesake: a gorgeous lake filling the valleys which surround the 18th fairway, a view which perhaps eased the pain that any three putts had inflicted. All in all, Mountain Lake allowed the team to get back in the groove of playing on quicker greens and prepared the women's team for their match against the University of Central Florida the following day.
Match v UCF at Red Tail – Thursday, March 18
By Claire Sheldon '10
On Thursday, the Women's Team played its first tournament round of the spring season in a dual match against The University of Central Florida at Red Tail Golf Club. Even though the structure of the match was somewhat informal, we did our best to create normal tournament conditions to help us get back in the rhythm of playing a tournament round. Like every other aspect golf, a pre-tournament warm-up routine can become unfamiliar during the long winter break, so it was important that we each practiced how to mentally and physically prepare for a tournament round. Our match against UCF was the perfect opportunity.
Claire Sheldon '10, Mia Kabasakalis '11, Jane Lee '12, Christine Cho '12, and Katie Sylvan '13 competed for the team, while Sarah Harvey '10 and Chloe Altchek '13 played as individuals. The unusually cold and windy weather made the already-tricky and unfamiliar 6,200-yard golf course even more challenging, but all team members showed exceptional perseverance and ability to stay positive throughout the round. Freshman Katie Sylvan led the team with a one-over par 73, while Sophomores Christine Cho and Jane Lee each shot 76. Jane added a highlight to her round when she holed out from 145 yards for a three on the par-five 12th hole – the first time she'd ever holed out from the fairway! Together the team shot 303 to beat UCF by 11 shots. The team's strong performance early in the season is a result of the hard work put in during the off-season in the simulator and weight room! , and provides great confidence as the team continues to prepare for the rest of the spring season.
We would like to thank Harvard alum Dave Albertson who helped to connect us with UCF during this trip as well as his help on our previous trip to the Orlando area.
Royal St. Cloud – Friday, March 19
By Christine Cho '12
On Friday, the team headed to Royal St. Cloud Golf Links for an early morning practice round. Some of the girls decided to play a full round of 18 holes, while others chose to play 9 and use the course's practice facilities to work on their games.
Emulating the links style courses of the British Isles, St. Cloud played relatively flat with fast and unpredictable greens. The course featured beautiful scenery and plenty of wildlife, including an alligator sighting on a par 3. The team members used the venue to continue to work on their games and keep their skills sharp. After the round and practice, most of the team used the rest of the day to relax and take a break from the continuous rounds of play leading up to the previous day's match.
In the evening, the team, joined by coaches Kevin Rhoads and Fred Schernecker, rounded out the day with a brief outing for some refreshing ice cream.
