David Dickinson [Jr] is probably the David Dickinson born ca 2 Apr 1769 in Ashburnham, Worcester Co MA, son of David and Persis (Wheeler) Dickinson.[1] He died apparently between Dec 1832 when he deeded land to his eight children and Oct 1835 when the the last four deeds were filed.[2]
He was married about 1795 probably in Ontario Co NY, present Addison Township, Steuben Co NY, to Anna Gilbert, daughter of Elisha and Hepsibah (–?–) Gilbert.[3] Anna was born 11 Aug 1776 with the birth recorded in Middletown [now Middletown Springs], Rutland Co VT,[4] and was living in Louisa Co IA in 1850 with a married daughter and an unmarried son and daughter. She died there 5 Mar 1851.[5]
The 1795 Ontario Co NY deed, from Elisha and Hepsibah Gilbert to David and Anna Gilbert shows that David was already married to Anna, who is named in the deed. In 1790 Elisha was in western NY, a resident of Chemung Twp, Montgomery Co NY (later Chemung Co) and by 1791 of Middlebury (later called Addison), Ontario Co NY (later Steuben Co), so David must have been in the area when he met his future wife.[6]
The next record of this David is in 1800 Ontario Co NY, Northampton Twp, p 322: David Dickinson, 10010/10100. Abel "Cleaveland," who was an associate of David's in that county and then in Chautauqua County, was only a few pages away. David was in the 26-45 age group, i.e., born 1755-74.
David was an ensign in the Genesee Co NY militia in 1803.[7] He is also listed as a town officer in Leicester NY in the same year.[8]
Later that year or the next, David's family along with Abel Cleveland's family moved to Pomfret, Chautauqua Co NY.[9] The two men were founders of Silver Creek and partners in an early sawmill. The History of Chautauqua County, New York, from its first settlement to the present time; with numerous biographical and family sketches, by Andrew W. Young, 1875, has three passages referring to David. "Abel Cleveland and David Dickinson bought where the village of Silver Creek now stands. The land was taken up in 1803 or 1804 (p 76)…" A traveler in the area stayed with the David Dickinson family. And David was an innovator who brought a new kind of "corn-cracker" to the mill he built (p 89).
Other Chautauqua Co books also refer to David; one gives more details about the partnership of Abel Cleveland and David Dickinson and states that Dickinson and Cleveland were natives of Berkshire Co MA.[10]
David Dickinson bought land in Steuben Co NY in 1809, as a resident of Pomfret, Niagara Co (later Chautauqua Co) NY. This deed was filed and recorded the same day as the 1795 deed.
When he sold this land in 1816, he was shown as a resident of Clermont Co OH, where he first bought land in 1819.[11]
In 1810 David was in Steuben Co NY, page 64: David "Dickerson," 21110/31010, next door to Elisha Gilbert. Additional records demonstrate David's relationship to the family of Elisha Gilbert. David was in the 26-45 age group, i.e., born 1765-84.
As daughter Harriet (Dickinson) Light's biography states, the family moved to Clermont Co OH ca 1816.[12] In 1820 David was in Ohio Twp, Clermont Co OH: David Dickinson, 110101/12201/3; and in 1830 they were in Clermont Co OH, David Dickison, p 214: 000110000000/000210010000. The father is missing from this record, but was still alive.
David Dickinson made deeds giving land to his eight children[13] in December 1832. The deeds for unmarried children were all recorded in October of 1835, while the other four were recorded earlier.
I used to wonder if the son David W Dickinson, who was born 1800-1805 in NY and married in 1833 in Clermont Co OH, might have the middle name Wheeler, after the possible mother of David Dickinson, as given above. I was pleased to discover that he had a grandson named David Wheeler Dickinson, who lived in Nebraska.
The children of David and Anna (Gilbert) Dickinson, based on the Clermont Co OH deeds, marriages and census records, and their known families were:
- Nancy Ann DICKINSON was born 4 Apr 1799 in western New York. On 30 Mar 1826 in Clermont Co OH, she married Reuben S SEARL[14]; they were living near her mother and siblings in 1840, in Louisa Co IA. Born in 1799, this Reuben S Searl died in Louisa Co IA, in 1840.[15]In 1830 the Searl family was two houses from David Dickinson in Ohio Twp: Reuben S Searl, 00001/01101. Reuben S. Searl died in June 1840, and his widow, Nancy Ann (Dickinson) (Searl) Nichols died 18 Aug 1869 in Muscatine Co IA. A biography of her second husband was written in 1984 and is available at http://iagenweb.org/muscatine/pike/snicholsjr.htm.
The Clermont Co Genealogical Society listed her name as having an unclaimed letter, 1 Apr 1826, from the Ohio Star & New Richmond & Susannah Gazette: Miss Nancy Dickenson.
- Charles C DICKINSON was born about 1798 in NY. In 1819 Charles first married Jane SMITH in Clermont Co OH. Her daughter Nancy's 1880 census indicates Jane was born in Maine, and she died before 1828. Nancy A Dickinson, who married David Kirghan in 1840, was probably a daughter of Charles's, since Charles Dickinson was next door to the William Kirghan family in 1840: 0010001/000111. In 1839 David Kirgan was deeded land from Charles Dickenson. Charles Dickison is listed among a list of people who had letters remaining at the Post Office at Batavia, Ohio.[16] These are assumed to be their children, from the 1840 census record, living with their father:
- Nancy A (1820-20 Apr 1901), Married David Kirgan, 16 Apr 1840.
- Hannah J (1822-1891), married Samuel H Peoples, 25 Oct 1849.[17]
- Samuel Dickinson, born ca 1828, living in 1856 in Louisa Co IA with aunt Jane Stephen.
In 1828 when Charles was 30, he second married Elizabeth MITCHEL in Clermont Co OH. Samuel was probably a child of the second wife.
- Harriet DICKINSON was born on 20 Nov 1802 in Wyoming, Ontario Co NY. Harriet died in Edgar Co IL, on 26 Jan 1873 and was buried in Mt Carmel IL. On 6 Dec 1821 when Harriet was 19, she married David LIGHT, son of Jacob LIGHT & Catherine HARMON, in Clermont Co OH. Born on 5 Sep 1800 in Clermont Co OH, David died in Edgar Co IL, on 16 Sep 1888. They had the following children:
- Charlotte (1822-1891)
- Charles Dickinson (1824-1824)
- Benjamin Franklin (1826-1873)
- Oliver Perry (1828-1904)
- Reuben Spencer (1830-1904)
- Catherine Ann (1832-1926)
- Samuel Henry (1834-1914)
- William Wallace (1836-1917)
- David W[heeler?] DICKINSON was born on 1 Jan 1805 in NY. David Wheeler died in New Richmond, Clermont Co OH, on 11 Apr 1870. On 15 Oct 1833, he married Phebe HANCE in Clermont Co OH. Born on 13 May 1813 in NY, Phebe died in Clermont Co OH, on 11 May 1890. They had the following children:
- Elizabeth DICKINSON, born ca 1807, was living in from 1850 through 1885 in Louisa Co IA, unmarried, with the family of her sister Jane Stephen. She died in Louisa Co IA on 9 Nov 1899 and is buried with her mother.
- Caroline DICKINSON was born about 1810 in NY. On 10 May 1832, she married William BOALS in Clermont Co OH. He was born in 1780s. He may have been the man in 1830 Pleasant Twp, Brown Co OH: 1211001/1111001. There was a William Bowles, "Boat Man," living in a boarding house in 1850 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co OH.
- Jane DICKINSON was born in 1815, married Levi Stephen in Louisa Co IA on 22 Dec 1841, and died there 16 Jul 1905. Her complete census record provides family data and revealed that her mother lived over 20 years longer than previously believed. A book entitled Portrait and Biographical Album of Louisa County, Iowa Acme Publishing Co, 1889, page unknown, states the following: "Mrs. [Levi] Stephen is a native of Steuben County, N. Y., and a daughter of David and Anna (Gilbert) Dickinson, both of whom were natives of Massachusetts, though the father was of Scotch descent, and the mother of English ancestry."
- William Francis DICKINSON was born between 1815 and 1820. The name Francis Dickinson occurs several times in this family. He is listed in Louisa Co IA censuses in 1850 and also 1856, unmarried.

[2] Clermont Co OH Deeds, Liber K-2 (1834), pages 244-247, dated Dec 1832, filed Oct 1835.
[3] Steuben Co NY Deed Book 4:254-7. Elisha and Hepsibah Gilbert, in what was then Ontario Co NY, deeded land for £100 to David and Anna Dickinson on 15 Aug 1795, but recorded the deed on 15 Mar 1809. On the same date in 1809 Elisha Gilbert also recorded a deed made 1 Sep 1808 to Jedidah Stephens, witnessed by Nathan Stephens (known from another source as Elisha's son-in-law) and a deed made 26 Jan 1809 in which Jedidah Stephens sold the same land to Ebenezer Gilbert (known from another source as Elisha's son) and David Dickinson for the same amount of money, also witnessed by Nathan Stephens.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 4:329. On 28 Oct 1809 Ebenezer and Mehitable Gilbert sold their half of the same land to David Dickason, witnessed by Brown Gillespie (known from another source as Elisha's son-in-law).
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 4:348. Entered in Nov 1809, the apparent release of David Dickinson from a mortgage made on 25 Dec 1793 to Charles Williamson for land in Steuben Co. I do not have the second page of this document, which includes more than one mortgage.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 7:124. David bought more land in Steuben Co on 20 Aug 1814, recorded the same day.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 7:198-9. David bought land 19 Sep 1814 from Nathan and Rachel Stephens. This land was bounded by land owned by the heirs of Brown Gillespie, so he may have died before that date. The three assumed sons-in-law had adjoining properties.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 8:25-26. On 3 May 1815 David and Anna Dickinson sold land to Rezin Scarce. Both David and Anna signed the deed.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 8:377-8. On 3 Jun 1816 David Dickinson, now of Clermont Co OH, sold land to Lemuel Benham. Note how exactly this coincides with the date Harriet gave years later for her family's moving from NY to OH. David appeared in person in Steuben Co to sign the deed on 8 [?] May 1817.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book 12:61-2. On 13 Nov 1822 David Dickenson of Clermont Co OH sold land to William Wombaugh. It appears that David did not return to Steuben Co to sign the deed, but sent written instructions.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book [?]:337-9. On 6 Aug 1823 Cloe Gillaspie, Aney Cooper, & William and Lucy Kirgin of Clermont Co OH sold land formerly owned by David Dickerson to William Wombaugh in Steuben Co NY. Cloe received $200.00 and her probable daughters Aney and Lucy received $28.66 each. David Dickinson was one of the witnesses. Note above that one of David and Anna (Gilbert) Dickinson's granddaughters married a Kirghan.
Steuben Co NY Deed Book [?]:475-6. On 24 Apr 1832, the heirs of Brown Gillespie, deceased, Richard, Augustus, Rachel, Brown, and Mary Ann Rowland, all now of Clermont Co OH, sold to William Wombaugh land formerly owned by David and Anna Dickinson in Steuben Co NY. This was land adjoining that sold above and each of the five heirs mentioned here received $20. Reuben Searl (see below) was one of the Clermont Co witnesses.
Note also that cumulatively these deeds establish as a certainty that David Dickinson, as Harriet claimed for herself, came to OH from NY in 1816, and that David Dickinson and Anna his wife were closely connected to the Gilbert family for over 30 years, especially to her brother and sisters and nieces and nephews.
The Steuben Co Will Book 1:391 has the administration of Elisha Gilbert's estate. Although the copy I have is hard to read, it can be seen that Nathan Stephens was the administrator, the case was filed 18 Apr 1818, and that there is no mention of a widow.
With these deeds I had speculated that Elisha and Hepsibah Gilbert had the following children: Anna Dickinson, Chloe Gillespie, Rachel Stephens and Ebenezer Gilbert. After this, I located the Brainard, Gilbert & Torrey book on the Gilbert family which gives a remarkably similar account of Elisha's family: Anna, b 1776, Chloe, b 1778, Ebenezer, b 1780, Rachel, b 1782, Ruth, b 1785.
These births were registered in Middletown VT. Since Elisha left at some date not too long after for NY, it is possible there were younger children not registered in VT. The entry cites a Stephens family genealogy and mentions the marriage of Rachel and Nathan Stephens and Nathan's parents. A Steuben County History states that a daughter of Elisha Gilbert married Brown Gillespie, the first marriage in the county. The parallels in the deeds between David Dickinson, Nathan Stephens and Brown Gillespie, and the close relationship of David especially with Ebenezer indicates that the Anna I expected to find does indeed fit into the family of Elisha Gilbert, Anna, his eldest child.
Elisha Gilbert is referred to in the History of Steuben Co NY, 1879, pp 138-140, also in proximity with men who appear on David Dickinson's deeds. All of the family, including David Dickinson, served as public officers. Note also in the Middletown VT book the names Reuben Searl and Abel White which also appear in early Steuben Co NY; a few generations later we find descendants of David and Anna (Gilbert) Dickinson marrying a Reuben Searl and a David Kirghan, additional evidence of the connection between the Dickinson and Gilbert families.

[8] History of the Pioneer Settlement of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase…, by O. Turner, 1851, pp 353. Among the town officers in 1803 of the newly formed town of Leicester NY were David Dickinson and Abel "Cleavland." Reference is made to Leicester in relation to Wyoming, Allegany and the south part of Erie. Harriet (Dickinson) Light's 1850 census gave her birthplace as Wyoming NY.
[9] My other Dickinson ancestor was Mary (Dickinson) Joy, who was in nearly Portland, Chautauqua Co NY, in 1810. At one time I thought the families would be connected, but they are not. Mary's brother David Dickinson, like this man, was born in 1769.
[10] History of Chautauqua County, New York, by Obed Edson, 1894, on page 168. This fact is possibly important in identifying our David Dickinson; the earlier David Dickinson, the father of this David, lived for a time in Shelburne, in the county next to Berkshire. It was here that he served in the revolutionary War. Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, p 740: "Dickerson, David. Receipt dated Shelburne, Sept. 22, 1777, for mileage, etc., from Shelburne to Stillwater, paid said Dickerson and others by the Selectmen of Shelburne; Capt. John Wells certifies that the men whose names appear upon the receipt went out of town with him." We do not know where our David was from the time more or less of his mother's death in 1782 until he appears in NY ca 1795.
[11] This fact establishes that the same man was in Pomfret, later Steuben Co NY and finally Clermont Co OH.
[12] History of Edgar County, Illinois. Wm. LeBaron Co, 1879, 687.
[13] The deeds, all made by David Dickinson on 12 Dec 1832 and the first four recorded on 22 and 23 Oct 1835, for $1.00, are as follows:
- to David W. Dickinson, mentioning adjoining lands belonging to Nancy and Harriet.
- to William F. Dickinson, mentioning adjoining land of David W. Dickinson and Nancy and Harriet.
- to Jane Dickinson, mentioning neighbors Jacob Light and D. Light.
- to Elizabeth Dickinson, mentioning David and Francis, and in the next line, David W. Dickinson and Wm. F. Dickinson, plus Jane Dickinson.
- to Caroline Boles, mentioning lands of C. G. Dickinson, D. W. Dickinson, and D. Light, recorded 26 Apr 1833, Clermont Co Deed Book E-29: 324, 325.
- to Harriet Light, mentioning D. W. and Wm F. Dickinson, recorded 20 May 1833, Deed Book E-29: 404, 405. Her land was "an undivided half" of the same property deed to Nancy Ann Searl.
- to Nancy A Searl, mentioning D. W. and Wm F. Dickinson, recorded 23 May 1833, Deed Book E-29: 412, 413. At one place David's name is spelled Dickerson. Her land was "an undivided half" of the same property deed to Harriet Light.
- to Charles G. Dickinson, mentioning Caroline Boles, Elizabeth Dickinson, and Jacob Light, recorded 5 December 1834, Deed Book H-32: 306, 307.

[15] Springer, Arthur. History of Louisa County, Iowa, from its Earliest Settlement to 1912, vol. 1, page 257, state that Reuben's wife was a sister of Levi Stephen; actually, Dr. Searl's wife, was a sister of the wife of Levi Stephen (even though Dr. Searl had died before Jane Dickinson married Levi Stephen).

Alternate name: Shellcracker
Family: Centrarchidae, Sunfishes view all from this family
Description The redear sunfish (Lepomis microlophus), also known as the shellcracker, Georgia bream, cherry gill, chinquapin, improved bream, rouge ear sunfish and sun perch, is native to the southeastern United States, but since it is a popular sport fish it has been introduced to bodies of water all over North America. It generally resembles the bluegill except for coloration and somewhat larger size. It is dark-colored dorsally and yellow-green ventrally. The male has a cherry-red edge on its operculum; females have orange coloration in this area. The adult fish is between 20 and 24 centimetres (7.9 and 9.4 in) in length. Max length is 43.2 centimetres (17.0 in), compared to a maximum of about 40 centimetres (16 in) for the bluegill.
Dimensions Up to 14" (36 cm); 5 1/2 lb (2.5 kg).
Habitat Rivers & streams, Lakes & ponds.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Southeast, Florida, Texas.
Discussion he favorite food of this species is snails. These fish are bottomfeeders, meandering along lakebeds seeking and cracking open snails and other shelled creatures. The fish has thick pharyngeal teeth, hard, movable plates in its throat, which allow it to crunch exoskeletons. It is even capable of opening small clams. The specialization of this species for the deep-water, mollusk-feeding niche allows it to be introduced to lakes without the risk of competition with fish that prefer shallower water or surface-feeding.
In recent years, the stocking of redear has found new allies due to the fish's ability to eat quagga mussels, a prominent invasive species in many freshwater drainages.
Male guarding eggs
During spawning, males congregate and create nests close together in colonies, and females visit to lay eggs. The redear sometimes hybridizes with other sunfish species. The redear sunfish is also located in many marsh wetlands of freshwater.

Whether you're just starting out in music or are already a seasoned musician, the 49-key mono PSR78 gives you plenty of great sounds, rhythms, automatic accompaniments and more to spark your creativity and let you take your music to ever higher levels.
100 Realistic AWM Voices
Whatever type of music you want to play, you're certain to find the perfect instrument in the PSR78's bank of 100 stunningly realistic voices. All voices are created with Yamaha's unique AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system, which uses "samples", or high quality recordings of actual instruments and other sounds.
You get everything from dynamic, authentic concert grand piano, to warm, resonant strings, full-bodied brass, breathy woodwinds, powerful percussion, and even sizzling synthesizer and other popular electronic sounds. The voices are conveniently grouped by type--such as Keyboard, Guitar, Strings, Mallet, Brass, etc.--so it's quick and easy to call up just the voice you need.
Specially Programmed Voices
There are specially programmed voices including Percussion, which lets you play the sounds of a drum/percussion set from the keyboard, and Split voices, which let you play a different voice with each hand. Harmony voices automatically add perfect harmonies to the notes you play, while Echo and Sustain voices are automatically enhanced with echo and sustain effects.
100 Dynamic Auto Accompaniment Styles
The PSR78 comes preprogrammed with 100 dynamic accompaniment Styles which put the power of a full backup band behind you. Virtually every kind of popular music from around the world is represented, including Pop, Dance, Rhythm & Blues, Rock, Latin, Traditional and Contemporary Jazz and more.
One Touch
All rhythms can be enhanced at the touch of a button with unique Intro, Main A and B, four Fill-ins, and Ending sections, while the automatic bass and chord accompaniment is controlled by the notes you play on the left side of the keyboard. The convenient Multi Fingering System lets you either play the full chords yourself, or use simplified "Single Finger" fingerings to change the chordal accompaniment.
Controlling the tempo of the backing is as simple as pressing a button, and an independent Accompaniment volume lets you adjust the sound balance just the way you like it. You can even choose the "size" of the accompaniment (Large or Small). What's more, the handy One Touch Setting function automatically selects an appropriate Voice, Tempo and Accompaniment volume for playing with the Style you select.
Jam Track
Each of the 100 Styles has its own Jam Track section, featuring specially programmed chord progressions and accompaniment that matches the selected musical Style. If you're a novice and not yet familiar with playing chords, the Jam Track section automatically plays stylistically appropriate chord changes for you to "jam" over.
Demo Songs with Minus One Function
The 20 programmed Demo songs dramatically showcase the great sound and performance capability of the PSR78. You can play along with a Demo Song as is using any voice you want, or engage the Minus One function to "mute" or cancel the original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself. You can also engage the One Touch Setting function to work with the Minus One function and automatically select an appropriate voice for playing the melody along with the song you Select.

Robert Stevens was convicted in Federal Court of violating a federal statute which prohibits taking and distributing images of animal cruelty and sentenced to over three years in prison. The bases of the conviction were three documentaries he produced. Two videos documented pit bull fighting and the other was a hunting video with the use of dogs.
The 3rd Circuit Court overturned the convictions but the federal prosecutors have been successful in getting the U.S. Supreme court to hear the case. Mr. Stevens may still go to jail. This is one to watch.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 11:08 PM GMT on February 06, 2010
It's a very white world in the Mid-Atlantic today, where the historic blizzard of 2010 has buried residents under a record-breaking two to three feet of snow. The storm, which President Obama referred to as "Snowmageddon" in a speech before the Democratic National Committee winter meeting, set the all-time record for heaviest snowfall in Delaware history, thanks to the 26.5" that fell in Wilmington (old state record: 25" in the President's Day storm of 2003). "Snowmageddon" dumped the second heaviest at Philadelphia 28.5"), second heaviest at Atlantic City (18.2"), third heaviest at Baltimore (24.8"), and the 4th heaviest at Washington D.C. (17.8"). Several locations in Maryland have seen over three feet of snow, with the northern Washington D.C. suburb of Colesville receiving 40", and the southern Baltimore suburb of Elkridge receiving 38.3". While the blizzard was not an exceptionally strong storm--the central pressure was a rather unimpressive 986 mb at the height of the blizzard, at 9am EST Saturday--it was an exceptionally wet storm. The melted equivalent precipitation for the blizzard exceeded three inches along its core snow belt. That's an phenomenal amount of moisture for a winter storm. The blizzard formed a very unstable region aloft where thunderstorms were able to build, and there were many reports of thundersnow during the height of the storm. These embedded thunderstorms were able to generate very heavy snow bursts of 2 - 3 inches per hour.
A new storm expected to affect the area Tuesday may add to the immense pile of snow on the ground, though the precipitation may partially fall as rain. With only a slow warm up in store for the mid-Atlantic over the next ten days, the snow will stick around for a while. This is a good thing, since a sudden thaw or heavy rain event could generate considerable flooding, if the three inches of precipitation locked in the snow is suddenly released.
Today's blizzard is the second major snowstorm of 16+ inches to affect the Washington D.C./Baltimore region this winter--the other being the 16.4" storm of December 19 - 20. According to the National Climatic Data Center, the expected return period in the Washington D.C./Baltimore region for snowstorms with more than 16 inches of snow is about once every 25 years. Thus, a one-two punch of two major Mid-Atlantic Nor'easters with 16+ inches of snow in one winter is something that should happen only once every 625 years. Such an event has not happened since the beginning of the historical record in 1870. The numbers are even more impressive for Philadelphia, which has had two snowstorms exceeding 23" this winter. According to the National Climatic Data Center, the return period for a 22+ inch snow storm is once every 100 years--and we've had two 100-year snow storms in Philadelphia this winter. That should happen only once every 10,000 years, in today's climate. Of course, the last ice age was just ending around 12,000 years ago, so this probability number has to be viewed with a some skepticism. Still, the two huge snowstorms this winter in the Mid-Atlantic are definitely a very rare event one should see only once every few hundred years.

Its been 17 years since i've had a bird dog and boy have i missed it! Here is Moose on opening weekend here in Idaho with his first pheasant. Moose will be 13 months this week. Once the 8 birds flushed, Moose sat down and waited for the command to fetch. The bird wasn't totally dead and was on its back flailing and kicking....Moose was reluctant to grab it lol. I'm very happy with his work and after that first retrieve a light seemed to have clicked on in his thick head and he hunts with more vigor now.. like he knows what he's smelling for now.
thanks for looking.

Bridging Transport, ICT and Energy Infrastructure Gaps for Seamless Regional Connectivity, is a contribution by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to deliberations at the Second United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) in Vienna, Austria, from 3 to 5 November 2014.
Advances in technology and logistics have helped boost economies around the world, but have not removed the main challenge faced by the 12 landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) in Asia, namely Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bhutan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. With no access to the sea, these countries must conduct their trade through neighbouring countries, which results in added costs.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
The Asia-Pacific Statistics Newsletter, Third Quarter 2014, provides information on the "Without better evidence, the next development agenda will not be achieved"; features an Interview with the Executive Secretary of ESCAP; provides update on the areas of work; and announces important events and meetings.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, reviews the role of safeguards in the Asia-Pacific region and discusses whether such measures promote or hinder liberalization.
The Trade Insights series summarizes current trade related issues; offers examples of good practice in trade policymaking; and helps disseminate key research findings of relevance to policy. The series is intended to inform both trade and development practitioners and the general public.
This policy brief, issued as part of the Trade Insights series, reviews the recent usage of non-tariff measures (NTMs) in the automotive sector in the Republic of Korea, with a specific focus on technical barriers to trade (TBTs). It finds that, despite provisions to reduce TBTs in recent trade agreements with the US and EU, TBTs and other non-tariff barriers remain a substantial barrier to entry in the Korean automotive market.
This brief provides a summary of the TIR system and introduces the most important attributes of the future eTIR system. It highlights the fact that, for many countries worldwide including those in the Asia-Pacific region, the TIR system is an important tool for international transit and transport facilitation. It also illustrates how, by incorporating modern ICT technologies, the eTIR system will further enhance transit and transport facilitation while further securing government revenues.
The Annual Report 2014 outlines the work programme and activities of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific through case studies and highlights during 2013-2014. It includes reporting of successes, resource mobilization, capacity building and examples of cooperation between ESCAP and its stakeholders. It takes time to detail programmes delivered across the region, looking at both the bigger picture and work done to further development in the subregions.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a recurrent publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. It provides information on and independent analyses of trends and developments in: (a) intra- and inter-regional trade in goods and services; (b) foreign direct investment; (c) trade facilitation measures; (d) trade policy measures; and (e) preferential trade policies and agreements.
There is a pressing need for the countries in the Asia-Pacific region to establish their own sustainable mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of trade and transport facilitation reforms and measures and identify solutions to streamline and optimize trade and transport process. Although existing global trade facilitation performance surveys and databases provide useful information on benchmarking and raise awareness, they do not provide sufficiently detailed information to develop or update national trade and transport facilitation action plans.

Jim McElhatton – (Federal Times) – June 4, 2013 – The outcome of a court battle between the Army and KBR over the final stages of LOGCAP III, the largest government services contract in U.S. history, could affect tens of thousands of federal contracts while creating "enormous uncertainty" for vendors and the government alike, according to the Justice Department.
The warning, delivered in the footnote of a recent U.S. Court of Federal Claims pleading, marks the latest development in a dispute to decide how to close out the 12-year-old, $38 billion military logistics contract supporting military operations in Iraq.
While the Army has pushed to change the LOGCAP III pricing structure to a firm, fixed-price basis, KBR has sued to keep the closeout work under the existing cost-reimbursable arrangement. Read the remainder of this entry »

All local breeding will be done at Vivo Bio Tech's 125,000-square-foot pre-clinical research facility in Andhra Pradesh, India. The facility is accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) and is registered with the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) for breeding and commercialization of Murine Pathogen Free (MPF) animals.
What sets Taconic apart from its competitors across the world and in India?
Taconic's broad portfolio of relevant animal models and services combined with unrivaled scientific expertise and a global footprint positions Taconic to deliver the highest quality solutions quickly and reliably. Our portfolio is the broadest in the industry.
In India, we find that one-of-the-big impediments to drug discovery and research is the lack of locally available high quality laboratory rodents. There is an urgent need for readily available high quality animals without experiencing long wait times and incurring the additional costs for importation. Taconic plans to bridge the gap by breeding and distributing select mouse and rat models that are in demand in India.
Apart from India in the Asia Pacific region, are you focusing on China as well, since it is a leading clinical service provider?
We see an increasing trend for pharma to move chemistry, cell biology, toxicology, DMPK and GLP-related studies to Asia, including both India and China. Big pharma are establishing serious R&D centers and partnerships in Shanghai and Bejing to perform thousands of regulatory and non-regulatory studies every year.
As big pharma moves more work to China, the expectation from the breeding industry will increase. It has been recognized that big pharma does not have reliable partners in China. Taconic sees that as an opportunity to support pharma while increasing our global presence.

Slow scrolling in Firefox on Fedora 12 - workaround
After upgrading to Fedora 12, I found that scrolling in Firefox was painfully slow. I'm using the Nouveau driver with a Geforce Go 5700 chip in my old 3.2 GHz Athlon64 laptop. Scrolling seemed to peg the CPU usage at 100% and render the computer unusable for the duration of the (very slow) scrolling.
Disabling "smooth scrolling" in the general section of the preferences seems to have fixed this.

East meets west in this tasty combo that wraps Chicken Helper® chicken fried rice and rotisserie chicken into south-of-the-border tortillas for a family-pleasing dinner!
You can use uncooked chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in skillet; add 2 cups cubed (1/4 to 1/2 inch) boneless skinless chicken breasts. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outsides turn white. Continue with recipe as written—except omit rotisserie chicken.
Broccoli-coleslaw blend, a combination of shredded broccoli, red cabbage and carrots, can be substituted for the coleslaw blend.

Another day, another dollar. That's the saying that we've been repeating over the last 2.5 weeks, at the end of every work day. Although it's been a hectic, swamped and challenging June thus far, we're pleased to announce that we can finally take a day off beginning next week! Until then it's been a seven day a week, 15 hour days of pure work. Anything less than those hours means running home and hosting dinners to some hungry dinner guests (producers). That means seven days = seven dollars to add to our escalating gasoline bill! Don't any of you feel defeated when your hard work and slightly fatter paycheck gets suddenly skinny to the bills waiting for you at home? We feel this way every time we check our mail box. Ugh! Luckily this blog has allowed us to relax by cooking, sharing and distracting us from what lies ahead at work. We cook in the mornings or late at night, or sometimes not at all after work. Getting home past midnight or 1am means just enough time to shower and crash in bed. But all your company and kind comments keep us going and powers us to repeat another day at the office. Thank you everyone!
Since our last big party, we've not even wanted to think about posting any recipes from the menu. There's just not enough time during the day and at this point, impossible to have the recipes ready any time soon. During the course of the next few months, or even till the end of the year, we'll slowly but surely write out the recipes, one by one. Until then, we'll post the recipe of the mini tangerine carrot cupcakes that so many of you have requested. These mini cupcakes that were made for the big party were perfect for the quick grab dessert. For large parties such as these, we always like to have platters of sweets that don't require any utensils or plates. It's easier for those to crave sweets who satisfy their desire for sugar in a quick and clean manner, before cutting of the cake or the main desserts.
Having a platter of mini cupcakes is standard at our large gatherings and on the menu that day were the tangerine carrot cupcakes. There were still tons of tangerines on the tree and sweet carrots in the garden, so we decided to put the combination of these two into cupcakes. Based loosely on the carrot cake batter, but with the addition of citrusy tangerine, these cupcakes were just delicious, flavorful, bright and summery! Better yet, we kept our food costs for the party down by gathering from the garden as efficiently as we could. The frosting we made is a cross between a cream cheese and a buttercream, smooth, creamy, not too sweet and bright with fresh tangerine flavors. Add as much tangerine zest as you want to the frosting, the more, the better! Just make sure you use a very fine microplane. We're submitting these tangerine carrot cupcakes to Weekend Herb Blogging, a fun event started by Kalyn at Kalyns Kitchen. This weeks host for the event is Joanna from Joanna's Food.

***"Heroes Hunting" video series project
*** Current or former Soldiers/Vets who hunt and have stories from Combat. Especially if you have actual FOOTAGE or photos from the event. All MOS's, All Branches, All theaters
*** Companies/Businesses that would like to be involved in this project
*** Outfitters/Ranches that would like to host a hunt and donate an animal or two
First, we are a group of Military Veterans. Between the five of us, we all have multiple deployments, we are all avid/rabid hunters (Bow, Rifle, Crossbow, Deer, Ducks, Turkeys, Fishing, you name it.) out of the Midwest (Iowa/Wisconsin specifically) with MANY years of experience. So, we KNOW good hunting.
The Project:
Think Buck/Duck Commander meets YOUNG (20 and 30 somethings) Military Veterans. NO, NOT Duck Dynasty. We DO NOT want to do a TV show (unless that option presents itself, lol), we are looking to make full length DVD movies.
We watch a lot of hunting videos while deployed to pass all the down time and because we are obsessed with hunting. One thing we noticed is that most of the videos are BLAND AS HECK. Besides that, most are all the same, only a FEW are actually fun to watch, and that is because they are different. That's what we plan to do, be one of a kind, different, and here's how.
The Premise:
We are going to start a video series called "Heroes Hunting". Just as it would sound, we are going to make hunting videos, but ONLY WITH MILITARY VETERANS of all branches and MOS's (jobs).
The "Heroes Hunting" video series will be filmed, then edited, entirely by us and feature your normal hunting style shots and dialog. However, what will make this different and special is that we will be doing the hunts WITH VETERANS/SOLDIERS. Going along with this, we are matching up with Veterans like ourselves that have the footage to go WITH the story.
During my last tour, which is Route Clearance (IED/"Bomb Hunters")in East Afghanistan, our vehicle was once shot with an 82mm Recoilless Rifle HEAT round, burning it to the ground (all ok) and another vehicle was hit with a 100lb+ IED (also, all ok). Both times, the incident was filmed by the vehicle behind us. There are countless Veterans/Soldiers that have footage from different engagements.
Imagine, sitting in the blind, hide, tree stand, etc, with the Veteran/Soldier retelling the story, to pass the time, waiting on our prey, but then mixing in ACTUAL footage of the event they are telling. THAT is why people WILL watch, want more, and watch repeatedly.
The Plan:
We plan to travel the country this fall, for different hunts, creating an online video series, then working into and up to DVD's/Downloads. Being in the military, in multiple units, and with multiple deployments, we all have military Veteran/Soldier "Battle Buddies" ALL OVER the United States and we plan to hunt with as many, and on as many locations as possible. It's a never ending range of ages, stories, places, and hunts. Just for myself, I already have a South Texas, 2 Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, and probably Missouri hunts scheduled for this fall. We are NOT joking around.
As far as I know, there is nothing like this out there and our research has already projected it to be heavily viewed and in extremely high demand.
This is an ACTUAL worth while cause though as we'll be working a lot with IOWA DNR, Wounded Warrior, Iowa Food Bank's "HUSH" program, and hopefully Walter Reed. So, we'd like to know if you would like to be involved in this project, in any way? We are looking for help monetarily or with donated products. We are military Veterans/Soldiers, WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A HAND OUT. Being soldiers, we don't work that way. That being said, as Military personnel, it's no secret we aren't paid like Congress, either. Any and all help will and would be appreciated, along with being spotlighted in episodes.
We are looking for partners that want to help each other make a great product. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you. All of my contacts are listed below. Please reach me at either option.

Big sister in Little House on the Prairie didn't lose her sight to scarlet fever.

While the men who wandered the Rockies spent their time investigating the fauna, a few women took over the study of the flora. One of those women was Mary Vaux Walcott, who published a book on wildflowers that became known as the "Audubon of Botany." Vaux has a peak named after her in Jasper National Park, an honor that explorer Mary Schaffer, her friend, bestowed upon her. Mary Vaux's husband, Charles D. Walcott, was a geologist and Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Mary Vaux accompanied him on his expeditions, making sketches along the way of flowers, works that she colored in with watercolors when she returned home. While she also gained expertise in glaciers and recognition for her photography, her most lasting legacy is her collection of paintings of the trees and flowers she cataloged. Below, a visual bouquet of those flowers for today's (almost) Wordless Wednesday.
If you have been watching tweets from @DoubleXSci since early December, you'll have noticed tweets about Notable Historical and Modern Women in Science. Nearly 100 women were presented over twitter. Those women will be presented in a series here on the blog with the original tweeted links and information as well as with some additional information not able to be presented in 140 characters. We hope you look up more on these women.

Physicist & Chemist Marie Sklodowska Curie was the first twice Nobel Prize laureate.
Every year since 1901 the Nobel Prize has been awarded for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace. The Nobel Prize is an international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank established The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and a cash award.
Double X Extra: A monomer is a building block (mono = one) and a polymer is a chain of monomers. With a few dozen monomers or building blocks, we get millions of different polymers. That may sound nutty until you think of the infinity of values that can be built using only the numbers 0 through 9 as building blocks or the intricate programming that is done using only a binary code of zeros and ones in different combinations.
Double X Extra: The specific reaction that hooks one monomer to another in a covalent bond is called dehydration synthesis because in making the bond–synthesizing the larger molecule–a molecule of water is removed (dehydration). The reverse is hydrolysis (hydro = water; lysis = breaking), which breaks the covalent bond by the addition of a molecule of water.
Double X Extra: We call a fatty acid a fatty acid because it's got a carboxylic acid attached to a fatty tail. A triglyceride consists of three of these fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol. Our dietary fat primarily consists of these triglycerides.
Double X Extra: A triglyceride can have up to three different fatty acids attached to it. Canola oil, for example, consists primarily of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, all of which are unsaturated fatty acids with 18 carbons in their chains.
Double X Extra: A hormone is a blood-borne signaling molecule. It can be lipid based, like testosterone, or short protein, like insulin.
Biohazard!The names associated with nucleic acids can be confusing because they all start with nucle-. It may seem obvious or easy now, but a brain freeze on a test could mix you up. You need to fix in your mind that the shorter term (10 letters, four syllables), nucleotide, refers to the smaller molecule, the three-part building block. The longer term (12 characters, including the space, and five syllables), nucleic acid, which is inherent in the names DNA and RNA, designates the big, long molecule.

This Week in Muay Thai: Lumpini Title on the Line in Rematch
- Written by Rian Scalia
You asked for it, so you got it. Weekly Muay Thai coverage from Thailand will start here on LiverKick as we look to improve the site for 2013. Look for articles like this highlighting the week ahead and for results and recaps.
Thailand's Muay Thai scene is undoubtedly the best combat sports scene in the world in my eyes, with great fights between top fighters every week. The talent pool is so deep that it's as if there's a never-ending supply of good fighters coming through fighting around the country, particularly in Lumpini and Rajadamnern Stadiums. This week saw a few great and highly ranked fights like Penek Sitnumnoi vs. Pokaew Fonjaengchonburi be cancelled, but there's definitely still some good fights to go around.
January 8:
118lbs: Chokprecha Kor Sakooncher vs. Satarnfah Zakami (Eminentair) - Lumpini
This is for the Lumpini title at 118lbs, with Chokprecha and Satarnfah having fought each other twice this year. Chokprecha won their first encounter of the year back on February 14 and Satarnfah won the second one, on May 20. This should be another great fight. Their fight in May was awesome and even saw Satarnfah try to slightly mug Chokprecha after the bell.
131lbs: Kwankao Chor. Rajapatsadu-Esarn vs. Kangkenlek Ioderm (SPB Car Network) - Lumpini
Kwankao comes off a loss to Pornsaneh Sitmonchai in his last fight on November 3, where he was stopped in the third round. 2012 saw him move up in weight quite a bit, as the fight with Pornsaneh was at 128lbs while he fought at 125 and below for most of the year. In this fight he moves up again, to 131, but it's also against another fighter who usually fights lower in Kangkenlek. Kangkenlek comes off a stoppage via knees to the body of Ponsawan Lukprabaht in his last fight. This should be a pretty tough fight for Kwankao, as Kangkenlek is a strong clincher.
January 9:
Songkom Sakhomsin vs. Aikmongkol Gaiyanghadao - Rajadamnern
Songkom makes his return to Muay Thai after his second pro boxing bout on December 2 and he jumps right back in against stiff competition. Aikmongkol comes off a win over Saengmorakot Tor Manothammaraksa on December 18 after an exciting loss to Mondam Sor Weraphon back in November. This should be a pretty fun fight. Songkom has sharp hands and possesses knockout power but Aikmongkol is scrappy and versatile.
The rest of the post will be updated later today.
January 10:
Sakmongkon 96Penang vs. Kaimukdam Aikbangsai - Rajadamnern
Both guys had struggles in 2012. Sakmongkon was able to end 2012 on a winning note with a win over Pingern Por Chaiwat on December 12. Kaimukdam is the Rajadamnern champ at 122lbs and defeated the 118lbs champ of Rajadamnern, Manasak Pinsinchai, twice last year. I think Kaimukdam should win here and that he's faced and done better against better competition.
Sirimongkon PKMuayThai vs. Tapaotong Eminentair - Rajadamnern
Sirimongkon is the Rajadamnern featherweight champ though he drew with Yusuke Shimizu in Japan in December. He's a slow starter while Tapaotong can get aggressive and start quickly. Sirimongkon also fights moving backwards a lot. It may be a game of cat and mouse with Tapaotong doing the chasing and if he were to win, he'd probably do it by forcing Sirimongkon into his type of fight.
January 11:
Yokvitaya Phetsimean vs. Newwangjan Pagonponsurin - Lumpini
Good fight here. Yokvitaya is no joke, and was just outgunned by Singthongnoi back in November but there's definitely no shame in that. Newwangjan had a pretty good 2012 but unfortunately for him he was put on a highlight reel by Superbank, courtesy of a running teep to the face. Yokvitaya is probably a bit bigger and I'd have him as a favorite here.
Seeoui Sor Sunantachai vs. Lookman Fonjaengchonburi - Chumpon Province
The always exciting Seeoui returns to action in what could be an action packed fight against Lookman, who also isn't one to shy away from throwing down. Lookman can take shots as well as dish them out. Seeoui is always involved in wars and Lookman probably won't back down from a fight so this could be a cracker. The two had quite a good fight on June 24, with Lookman winning.

Over this last weekend the worst possible thing that could happen in the woods happened here in Minnesota. A father took his 9 year old out hunting with him. After getting his son set up hthe dad told him to stay put while he swung around ot check on some birds. The son ended up moving and the dad shot him in the chest at 25 yards. Dad carried the boy 1/4 mile out of the woods and called for help. The son was pronounced D.O.A.
There are all kinds of ways to look at this. As a dad I cant imagine the mental/emotional trauma this man is going through. As a member of the Law Enforcement field I see a dumb senseless act. As a hunter I see a person who ignored some of the very basic rules we all learn in firearm safety that resulted in the most horrible of accidents. So everyone out there please please beaware of everyone that is out in the woods and may be near your hunting area.

"Hi, I've recently got my EB-50, and straight out of the box, I had to adjust my ears to the flat sound signature. the sound is clinical and dry but very true. Coming from the luscious RE-262 (difficult to drive, mid-centric but with extremely great soundstage), the EB-50 were extremely fast and I loved the soundstage that as a out-of-the-head feeling that almost seems not coming from the..." --Kressel

Butternut squash and crushed tomatoes bring color to a beef stew cooked in a robust, red wine broth.
Sometimes brisket comes in larger pieces, such as 4 to 6 pounds. If you purchase one of these larger pieces, use what you need for this recipe and freeze the remaining piece for a future meal.
For added color, sprinkle this stew with chopped curly parsley
Instead of squash, try using another root vegetable in this hearty stew.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg, vanilla, and peppermint extract and continue to mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well blended, about 1 minute more.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead until it's smooth with no air pockets. Using a large piece of plastic wrap as an aid, shape the dough into a 12-inch-long, 2-inch-wide log. Twist the ends of the plastic to compact and secure the log. To help the dough keep its shape, set it in an empty cardboard paper towel tube that's been slit lengthwise and freeze until very firm, at least 2 hours. Alternatively, give the log a quarter turn every 15 minutes during the first hour of freezing to keep it from flattening on one side. (At this point, the dough can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 hour before slicing and baking.)
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 or more cookie sheets (preferably flat sheets with one raised edge) with parchment or nonstick baking liners.
Roll the log of dough in chopped nuts until evenly coated. Using a sharp, thin knife, slice the dough a scant 1/4 inch thick and set the cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared sheets. If the dough becomes too soft to hold its shape when slicing, refreeze until firm; if it's too hard to slice, let it sit at room temperature until sliceable.
Bake two sheets at a time, rotating and switching their positions halfway through, until the edges and bottoms of the cookies are golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool on their sheets on wire racks for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to the racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar, cream, and salt with a spoon or rubber spatula until well blended and smooth. Add vanilla extract or paste and food coloring, if using, and stir until well blended. If necessary, add more cream a drop at a time for a thin, spreadable consistency. (The glaze can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.)
Arrange the cooled cookies on a rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet. Dip the sides of each cookie to cover half or more of the cookie. Let excess glaze drip off and then transfer to the rack.
Alternatively, use a fork to drizzle the glaze over the cookies on the rack. Or partially fill one corner of a small, heavy-duty zip-top baggie with glaze, squeeze out the air, and seal the baggie. Cut off the corner and gently squeeze the bag to drizzle the glaze evenly over the cookies.
Decorate each cookie further with chopped nuts while the glaze is still wet, let the cookie sit for about 10 minutes, then invert the cookie to remove any excess. Let the cookies remain on the rack until the glaze sets up, about 3 hours.
Once they're set, serve the cookies or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Looking for a tasty fruit dessert? Then check out this chocolate tart made using Pillsbury® pie crusts and garnished with kiwifruit.
Sophisticated, elegant and so easy to make. Bittersweet chocolate is no longer a specialty gourmet ingredient; it's made by national chocolate manufacturers and available in most large grocery stores.

Nox-Audio Scout HSM001A0 Headset (Black)
