From The Editor
By Carol Berkin
As school children, my generation thrilled to the stories of European explorers who set out in small wooden ships to cross uncharted seas. These men represented the curiosity, imagination, and desire for new experiences, exotic goods and luxury wares that seemed to sweep across western Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. These explorers flew the flags of any King who would finance their journeys: the Italian Christopher Columbus and the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan sailed for Spain while the Englishman Henry Hudson sailed for the Dutch. These men were adventurers, but they were soon followed by settlers who hoped to make their fortunes or escape poverty and persecution in the Americas. The Spanish and Portuguese came first; but soon enough Dutch, French and English colonies were established. This year, thousands of visitors flocked to Jamestown, Virginia to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement on mainland North America.
Students today have a far richer scholarship on the exploration and settlement of the Americas than have previous generations. Scholars have studied the technological innovations necessary to make transatlantic and transpacific ocean travel possible. They have looked closely at map making and navigation as well. By studying the Native American cultures that existed before the arrival of Europeans, and by studying the interaction between these cultures and those of the explorers and colonists, they have given us a far more complex understanding of the meeting of these two worlds. Exchange and contact have been added to the descriptive vocabulary that once only included conquest and extermination. Historians have also described the impact of nonhuman exchanges, from flora and fauna to viruses and disease. And, American historians have used archeology and anthropology as well as wills, legal cases, and material culture to reconstruct the histories of our earliest seventeenth century settlements like Jamestown, Plymouth Plantations, and New Amsterdam.
In this issue, we offer a rich sampling of the new scholarship. Ted Widmer begins with an overview of the subject, entitled "Navigating the Age of Exploration." In this provocative essay, he urges us to "try to stretch our boundaries" beyond the Anglo-American settlements and introduce our students to Quebec and Peru as well as to Jamestown, to slavery in the Caribbean as well as slavery in South Carolina. In "The Columbian Exchange," Alfred Crosby provides an overview of the broad-ranging impact when European and Native American foodstuffs, grasses, animals, and diseases were introduced to each other. New staple crops that were native to the Americas allowed population increases as far away as Africa and northern Europe; tobacco brought a new addiction to European life; horses transformed southwestern Indian cultures; and smallpox and measles decimated Native American populations.
In "Native American Discoveries of Europe," Daniel Richter reminds us that "discovery" was as much a Native American experience as a European one. Richter helps us understand the cultural context in which Indian responses to the arrival European explorers and colonists took place. In "Jamestown and the Founding of English America," James Horn provides us a history of this colony, recreating for us the difficulties the early settlers faced. Horn shows us that the success of these English colonists came at a price: both Indians and colonists died in the warfare that established English supremacy in Virginia and the colonists' economic success would lead to enslavement for thousands of African laborers.
In "Ferdinand Magellan: Missing in Action," Laurence Bergreen tells us the fascinating story of the man whose ship circumnavigated the globe. Bergreen explains why so little is known of Magellan and he analyzes the role that politics in Spain and Portugal played in assuring that the record is silent on Magellan's motives and experiences at sea. Finally, in "Conflict and Commerce: The Rise and Fall of New Netherland," Simon Middleton offers us a portrait of an non-English colony, created as many English colonies were, by men and women who hoped to profit from the natural resources of the new world. The English conquest of this thriving commercial colony is an example of the central role that European political rivalries play in any account of U.S. history.
Our interactive feature, courtesy of the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, focuses on the early maps of North America, reminding us that geography is a critical part of any history lesson. These maps illustrate the changing perception of American geography; they track Europe's increasing familiarity with the new world. Our lesson plans deal with a variety of aspects of the era, offering you suggestions for classroom activities for elementary, middle and secondary school students. And, as always, our archivist, Mary-Jo Kline provides the sources you need to explore the subject in depth and create your own lessons.
We wish you an enjoyable and productive summer. Look for our September issue on the Constitution, offering you a wealth of materials for your Constitution day activities.

Hypnotherapy can help you manage Bereavement and Loss
There is no right or wrong way to grieve after losing someone or something we love. We grieve because of a loved one dying, a relationship or dream ending, or the death of a pet. Loss of any kind can make us feel bereft. Grief is the intense feeling we feel; bereavement is the process.
Everyone grieves differently; there is no set timetable. Some people don't start grieving until much after the loss. That's OK. Whatever the cause of your grief, it's important to let the process unfold; grieving takes time and happens gradually.
There are a lot of myths surrounding bereavement, and the subject of death is too often taboo. But we all die and all experience losses; sorrow is the natural response. Grief can also elicit feelings of guilt, anger, shock and disbelief, and manifest itself physically.
One of the myths is that not talking about the loved one or our pain is to "be strong" and helps those around us "get on" - but the opposite is true. Not sharing how we feel can make the grieving process harder and feel more alone.
If you would like a safe space in which to express yourself freely, make sense of your feelings and feel supported in your process.

Your amazing fleet of teachers are changing my life for the better. I can't thank you enough.
LCPY has a flexible schedule and teachers who are nice and friendly yet challenging. The room is hot, but not crazy unbearable. Of course, a big factor for me is the price and LCPY, is the most affordable studio in the area with a generous class card policy!
This studio is keeping me sane through Grad School.
Thank you for creating a community where I feel so accepted, meet new beautiful people and that makes yoga that meets you right where you are. Whether I need something spiritual, sweaty or just convenient, it is something very special (with a vibe that can only be found in Oakland) and unique at LCPY. I feel grateful to be apart of it!
I tried out a number of studios in the Lakeshore area before finally settling on LCPY. I chose LCPY over others because of its intimacy. Class sizes are small, instructors make individual adjustments, and and the class times work well for a M-F job. Each instructor is very unique in their approach to power yoga. Some focus on arm strength while others focus on the core. You'll have to attend each class to find which works best for you.
You, your teachers, and your studios are all nothing short of incredible. I could not feel more grateful for you and what you have created. I have found so much healing (physical, emotional, spiritual) in your studios and have grown beyond what I thought possible in the past year.
I have noticed a complete change in my body after these two weeks of attending class 5 times a week. I feel tighter, more inclined to shimmy my shoulders on the drop of a dime, and overall feel amazing! THANK YOU!!!
Yoga Camp was priceless on many levels. It was liberating to be surrounded by so many smart, committed, beautiful (inside and out) people. I didn't realize how depleted I've been without yoga, without Rachel, Whitney, Sterling, Jessie, Shirley, Nina and the whole rest of the community. The weekend was the ultimate counter narrative to this year.

WASHINGTON, July 30 (UPI) -- The unemployment rate in 272 out of 372 U.S. cities was lower in June compared with the same month of 2012, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the unemployment rate was higher in 73 cities and unchanged in 27 from June 2012 to June 2013.
The national unemployment rate for the month was 7.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. In June 2012, the national rate was 8.4 percent, the bureau said.
Among individual cities, Yuma, Ariz., and El Centro, Calif., experienced the highest unemployment rates among cities at 31.8 percent and 23.6 percent, respectively.
Bismarck, N.D., had the lowest rate among U.S. cities with unemployment at 2.8 percent.
On each end of the spectrum, the unemployment rate was higher than 10 percent in 51 cities and lower than 5 percent in 26 cities.
Across the country, 207 cities had unemployment rates in June that were below the nation's 7.8 percent rate, while 158 had rates higher than the national rate. Seven cities had unemployment rates of 7.8 percent, the bureau said.

ANKARA — A Turkish move to deploy NATO's Patriot ground-to-air missiles on its southern border with Syria has antagonized regional rivals Iran and Russia. And defense industry sources say it could obviate the need for the country's $4 billion competition to build its own anti-missile and air defense architecture.
Turkey officially has asked NATO to deploy Raytheon's Patriot missile launchers and Lockheed Martin's Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missiles, saying that neighboring Syria's civil war threatens its security.
Military officials from Germany and the Netherlands, owners of the NATO systems, are conducting site surveys to determine possible deployment locations. NATO's top official, Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has pledged to finish the deal soon.
The request is creating tension in the region. Turkey's former ally, Syria, and its allies Iran and Russia condemned the move.
The relationship between Turkey and Syria has gone from bad to worse since the uprising to oust Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, began almost two years ago. Damascus has long accused Ankara of harboring, financing and arming rebels fighting to oust Assad. Russia agrees with Syria and is warning that the surface-to-air missiles could lead to a regional crisis.
Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister, said: "Any buildup of weapons creates threats and risks. Any provocation can cause a very serious armed conflict. We would like to avoid it by all means. We are perfectly aware of Turkey's concern over the security on its border."
Rasmussen sought to reassure Moscow that Turkey's decision is purely to protect its own territory.
"The Turkish government stressed that the deployment will be defensive only, and that it will in no way support a no-fly zone or any offensive operation," he said. "The security of the alliance is indivisible. NATO is fully committed to deterring against any threats and defending Turkey's territorial integrity."
Analysts agree.
"Turkey has its own reasons to have the systems on its soil. These reasons are political, security-related and also financial," said Ceyhun Erguven, an analyst based here. "It is normal that a member country requests logistical assistance from NATO because it feels threatened."
The move could nullify Turkey's own program to build long-range anti-missile and air defense systems on its soil, industry sources said.
For the estimated $4 billion contract, the pan-European company Eurosam, maker of the Surface-to-Air Missile Platform/Terrain Aster 30 system, is competing with a Raytheon-Lockheed partnership marketing Patriots; Russia's Rosoboronexport, marketing the S-300 system; and China Precision Machinery Export-Import Corp., offering its HQ-9.
Turkey's top decision-making body on defense, the Defense Industry Executive Committee, had its most recent meeting in July and said that talks would continue with four key foreign suppliers. The committee's next meeting is scheduled for late December or early January.
Turkey has no long-range air defense systems. All of the candidate systems, in theory, are capable of hitting an incoming aircraft or missile.
Many Western officials and experts say the Russian and Chinese systems in the Turkish competition are not compatible with NATO systems. The fear is that either country's potential victory could inadvertently provide it with access to classified NATO information, and as a result, may compromise NATO's procedures.
Despite this criticism, Turkey so far has resisted dropping the Chinese and Russian options.
Analysts say the deployment of NATO assets on Turkish soil may add to doubts that Turkey needs to independently build an air defense system and spend a huge amount of money.
"The arrival of the Patriot systems, if endorsed by NATO, would already meet Turkey's requirement of a solid air defense system," Erguven said. "This may even lead to the cancellation of Turkey's own contract for a similar system."
A procurement official familiar with the program said the matter would be thoroughly discussed, with a final decision made at the next meeting of the Defense Industry Executive Committee.
Industry sources say even if Turkey proceeds with its national air defense system contract, procurement officials might feel obliged to shortlist the U.S. and European contenders and drop the Russians and Chinese.
"Turkey and Russia are becoming increasingly hostile as each sides with warring camps in the Syrian crisis," one senior industry source said. "This minimizes Rosoboronexport's chances in the contract.
"China also quietly allies with Russia over the Syria war, and its solution for Turkish air defenses is an almost replica of the Russian system. That may oust the Chinese bid from the race, too."

"Uncharted" film moves forward with director Seth Gordon
Video game movies have always been touchy for gamers. We get excited that one of our favorite titles is getting the live-action treatment, but we're apprehensive because Hollywood usually takes the game's name and characters but writes a story that doesn't follow the game's canon.
That could change with "Uncharted."
Based on the popular and critically-acclaimed PlayStation 3-exclusive series from Naughty Dog (makers of The Last of Us), "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," has been in development for several years with a number of people attached to helm it.
But according to Deadline, Sony has settled on director Seth Gordon, the man behind the gaming documentary "The King of Kong" — a favorite of old-school arcade enthusiasts and gamers in general — but also "Horrible Bosses" and "Identity Thief."
A gamer to direct a movie based on a video game? Who'd have thunk it?

Steubenville, Ohio, Dec 6, 2013 / 02:11 am (CNA/EWTN News).- More than 10,000 young people have signed a giant birthday card for Pope Francis, offering their prayers and well-wishes for the Holy Father's 77th birthday on Dec. 17.
"We wanted to give the Pope a gift he would truly appreciate; something he would be proud of," said Mark Nelson, founder of Catholic to the Max, the Ohio-based arts and gifts outlet company behind the initiative.
The 4-foot-tall card consists of a tri-fold plaque featuring an image and prayer of one of the Holy Father's favorite Marian devotions, "Mary, Un-doer of Knots." After collecting both physical and digital signatures, Catholic to the Max intends to send the card to the Pope later this month.
Nelson said that the idea to give the Holy Father gifts of prayer and service came from the Pope's first "Urbi et orbi," when he asked that the faithful pray for him before he imparted his blessing.
"From day one, he has asked all of us to pray for him and to serve the poor. This is our response," Nelson said.
The card traveled to the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis last month and acquired signatures from more than 10,000 young people.
Now that the card is back in Steubenville, Ohio, it has been gathering signatures at local Catholic parishes and Franciscan University.
A website has also been created to allow even more youth to digitally sign the card, which will be sent in time to reach the Holy Father for his birthday.
Well-wishers can choose from different spiritual gifts or works of mercy to give the Pontiff on his birthday, such as visiting the Blessed Sacrament, praying the Rosary or serving the poor.
Those wishing to sign the card can do so until Dec. 9, when the pages containing physical and digital signatures will be organized and bound together with the Marian image and sent to the Holy Father.

Adapted by Henry Gibson from the novel by Irvine Welsh and directed by Roger Mathey, Trainspotting, now playing at the Elephant Theatre was produced by Roger Mathey, Seat of Your Pants Productions and Classified Productions.
In the British world of psychological shorthand, "trainspotting" describes the obsessive compulsive tracking of train schedules -- or an activity that wastes extraordinary amounts of time, as addicts might as in playing off the heroin "tracks" and attempting to "spot" the optimum injection point. The slang for "transpotting" refers to the actual shooting up of heroine as well as being on the look out for a drug dealer.
Supposed to be stories of eclectic junkies trapped in the perils surrounding drugs the heavy British accents, I'm assuming most were faked, were so heavily put on that it was hard to understand any story as such it was - or wasn't depending on your view.
Actors included Justin Zachary, Katie Aquino, Sam Bangs, Sarah Allyn Bauer, Martin George Berishaj, AJ Jones, Elizabeth Knowelden, Libby Letlow, Michael Luteran, Francesca Manzi, Travis McHenry, Martin J. Riddell, Jonathan Roumie, Katy Townsend, Matt Tully, Karl Wade, Alison Walter, Ben Wilson and David Agranov.
Scenic design was done by Jason Rupert, lighting design by Michael Mallison, and original music and sound design were by James Dethlefsen and Brian Palla with costumes - such as they were- by Traci LaDue. The fights were choreographed by David Agranov.
The play lives up to expectations - a waste of time. Nudity, swearing, and sexual situations, that really didn't seem to fit into the story, are abundant, as well as smoking so bad that even in the last row, my asthma was affected. (NO warning on either as you entered or on the billboards.) Starting the play with a young man waking up soaked in his own feces, the play continues from there. I could have used without said feces being splattered all over the other actors faces. No one laughed, even at the supposedly comic moments. As soon as there was a break, I walked out disgusted and sick.
The play runs until April 13 and costs $20 Friday and Saturday (8 pm) and Sundays at $15 (7pm). For tickets, call 323 960 7785 or go to www.plays411.com/trainspotting.

As if two-time Grammy and three-time Brit Award-winner Ed Sheeran needed more accolades, he's just been named as the best songwriter working today by more than half (51 per cent) of 16-24 year olds and more than a third (36 per cent) of all respondents in a new poll.
The survey of 1243 UK residents was conducted by research company Kantar TNS on behalf of BIC®, the stationery brand, which is running a new songwriting competition for people aged 13 to 24.
The Write and Shine competition will see one talented songwriter record his or her winning song in a studio and – if they are also a singer – they could have the chance to perform it on the main stage at The Big Feastival.
When asked to choose up to four of the best songwriters working today, well over a third (39 per cent) of Generation Z survey respondents aged 16-24 also picked Adele, while a fifth (20 per cent) named Beyonce.
Both women have been included more than once in Time Magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world, with both breaking over100 million record sales.
Bruno Mars (15 per cent), Calvin Harris (13 per cent), Stormzy (13 per cent), Justin Bieber (12 per cent), Lady Gaga (11 per cent) and Alex Turner (10 per cent) also rated highly amongst the young age group.
When asked, unprompted, to name the greatest songwriter not just of today, but of all time, one in 10 young respondents still picked Ed Sheeran, placing him well above any other songwriter for this age group.
Looking at the other generations, Lennon and McCartney as a duo, individually or as The Beatles, were the clear favourites, being named by 20 per cent of all respondents as the greatest songwriters of all time.
The Liverpudlian lyricists, who still hold the record as the best selling British artists of all time with more than 600 million sales, were chosen by over a third of baby boomers or those over the age of 55.
Opinions over lyrical prowess differed not only between generations but UK regions as well.
Twice as many people in the North West (22 per cent) named Lennon and McCartney as the greatest of all time compared to Greater London (10 per cent), but it was actually Wales who rated them the highest with 34 per cent of respondents.
Noel Gallagher was nearly twice as popular in the North (13 per cent) compared to the South (7 per cent), although surprisingly this was more thanks to fans in Scotland (17 per cent), Wales (16 per cent) and the North East (21 per cent) than the North West, where only 12 per cent chose the Oasis lyricist.
Gallagher didn't even make it into the top 10 in London, although neither did Damon Albarn, who was portrayed as the Southern nemesis of Oasis during the Britpop era when he was the front man for Blur.
The deadline for Write and Shine entries is this Sunday (July 16) - see BIC's Facebook page for more details.
Partnering with singer / songwriter, 4Music TV host and YouTuber Bethan Leadley, platinum-selling music producer Andy Whitmore at Greystoke Recording Studios, and The Big Feastival, BIC will provide this incredible 'foot in the door' opportunity.
The judging panel, lead by Danny Cope, Curriculum Leader: Popular Music and Songwriting at Leeds College of Music, will choose the four best songs, which will go to a public vote from 4 to 18 August 2017.
Some fast facts from the research:
Top 10 of all time
20 per cent - Lennon and McCartney / The Beatles
5 per cent - Ed Sheeran
2 per cent - Elton John, Bee Gees, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Freddie Mercury, Simon & Garfunkel
1 per cent - Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Gary Barlow
Top 10 working today
36 per cent - Ed Sheeran
31 per cent - Adele
13 per cent - Bruno Mars
10 per cent - Lady Gaga
9 per cent - Noel Gallagher and Beyonce
7 per cent - Calvin Harris and Dave Grohl
6 per cent - Justin Bieber
5 per cent - Damon Albarn

Grin a little.
Without an explicit control-flow graph (given by inlining eval/apply), many of our more important transformations cannot be performed. Even worse than the lost optimization opportunities is the increased complexity of the RTS. Dealing with issues of correctness is an annoying distraction from the more enjoyable endeavour of applying optimizations.
Moving away from the magical implementation of 'update' means we have to starting thinking about our memory model. The GRIN paper suggests using a fixed node size with a tail pointer for additional space if necessary. With this scheme we can update common-case nodes without allocating more heap space. However, since we're most likely to encounter complications with respect to concurrency and certain forms of garbage collection, I think a simpler approach is more apt.
Replacing nodes with indirections is very easy to implement, it doesn't clash with any optimizations (the original GRIN approach interfere with fetch movement), and it opens the door for advanced features such as concurrency.
So this is what I'll be working on in the near future. All magic has to be purged from the kingdom so logic and reason can reign supreme.

does LHC's grin scale? i mean the compilation is seperated into two phases: modules one by one first(or several together), then linking. otherwise the compiler consumes impractical resources for realworld projects. since you want to inline more apply/eval, the situation seems more crucialReplyDelete
`compilation' and `modules' in my words represent low-level ones (not some sort of intermediate code). grin in the paper assumes the whole program is under its grasp, so i'm curious of how to balance scale issue and performance penalty.ReplyDelete
We haven't yet had to deal with scalability. MLton seems to suggests that, with the proper optimizations, control-flow analysis can be done fairly quickly.
I'm not sure what you mean. We don't convert to Grin code until after linking the modules together, anyway.
for example, gcc compiles each c file to obj first where functions implemented in other c files are "pending", then linker rewrite pointers to "pending" functions with their implementations in other objs. A source file can't too big generally, so each step consumes managable memory.
Grin does not have unknown functions and makes all indirections explicit which means a compiled function is also "referential transparent" (you can't pass in a pointer which is absent in its case..of..), you can't have "pending" function pointers. if two modules invokes each together, you have to put both of them in memory, so do 3, 4 or more modules. basically you have to put all modules of a connected graph component in memory. Thinking about compiling GHC in this way.
several methods to get scalability came into my mind:
1. allow runtime unknown functions, an additional indirection, a tradeoff
2. develop an algorithm which dynamically write disconnected modules(case..of.. is fixed) back to disk to save memory during compilation.
3. make all case..of.. open, compiler deals with modules one by one and produces .obj and .req for each of them. A module has only one .obj where all case..of.. are open. A module may have a .req for other modules each which stores case..of.. that will be merged to other module. Compiler keeps merging .obj and .req to new .obj until no .req is present. a lot of alrorithm and data structure is needed here, say dependency analysis of modules can speed up convergence.
grin is great, so these're my random/rough thoughts to make it scalable, you possibly already have some of them in your code.
btw: i'm not native english speaker, some sentences i typed are probably weird to you.
We have no plans for improving scalability. Incremental development can easily be done with other compilers.

Q&A: Gates' role as innovator, deal-maker, philanthropist
- 08 January, 2008 12:17
Microsoft co-founder and Chairman Bill Gates has been giving keynote speeches at Las Vegas conventions, including the Consumer Electronics Show and the now-defunct Comdex, for decades. Before his last CES keynote speech as a full-time company employee, he talked with the IDG News Service about his legacy as an innovator, the background behind some of the deals announced at CES this week and directions for Microsoft.
We've been tracking your career for some 30 years. One bone of contention has been when people have said that Bill Gates is a business mastermind but not really an innovator. Can you point out a couple of innovative things you're particularly proud of?
In terms of what we're proud of, I think it's the personal computer. It was a crazy idea at the time, that we could take the microprocessor and create a software industry around it. There was no software industry. Computing was about big businesses, and what we did in 1975, with me dropping out of school, was to say that we could build an industry that was about empowering people. We could seek out partners to build the hardware. We'd let anyone write software for the work we did, and everything we've done, over these 30 years, has been about that vision of personal computing. We were the first ones with that vision.
And now we're tackling the new frontiers. We're bringing TV, we're bringing new educational experiences, health experiences, onto this device that empowers people in a new rich way. And so it's pretty broad, the PC industry and our innovations in it; I don't think there's anything in the last 30 years that has had as much impact.
In the consumer space, since we're at CES, can you point out some recent innovations Microsoft can leverage in the next couple of years?
Well, the dollars spent on games and Xbox in the U.S. is greater than Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii combined. Really, that's because of the innovation in Xbox Live -- connecting people up, letting players find each other, matching them, getting video online. It's a real breakthrough way of thinking about even the future of TV.
We've got a million people using our Mediaroom, which is TV delivered over the Internet. Companies like AT&T and 19 other phone companies around the world bet their future on this being the new video platform. And what that means is when you think about news, and you go and use Mediaroom news, you see the things that you care about, the ads are targeted at you.
Look at what we've done with Surface, directly touching and manipulating things -- that's gonna be a centerpiece.
I can go on and on, there's so much that has to do with making it natural, bringing these things together and integrating them. We're the company that's doing the walk -- a lot of business focus but enough consumer focus that from the biggest game phenomenon in the world to the biggest instant messaging thing, we have a lot of success that represents the innovation we're put into it.
With increasing competition from abroad, innovation is of increasing importance to U.S. companies. What's your thinking around the link between innovation and intellectual property?
Well, we're a company that's based in the United States, but obviously we're drawing on engineering talent from all over the world. We've got an unbelievable research group in China, we've got an unbelievable research group in India, and we're delivering to consumers all over the world as well. And we file for intellectual property in all of these countries. They're all in different stages in terms of copyright, or patents, and it tends to be a pretty complicated area.
Other countries look at what's going on in the United States and they say they'd like their engineers to have those same opportunities, those same incentive systems, and so there really is a sense of progress in that. It's just one of the elements that make sure people are willing to take risks and keep the innovation in this industry the fastest of any industry in the world.
Page Break
You're going to be talking here about new partnerships for Microsoft's MSN, Xbox Live and Mediaroom IPTV services that will provide more content to drive Microsoft's consumer entertainment strategy. Can you talk about what you needed to do -- on the technology side and on the business side -- to make these deals happen?
XBox Live is attracting virtually all the content people because of the volume we've got there, and they see this group of very engaged users spending a lot of hours and finding new media in that environment, so that's made it easy for us. Our announcement with NBC on the Olympics is about our innovations in Silverlight, where you can view interactive content, multiple video streams, so it's really a perfect match for the Olympics where you have all this different content and yet different people care about different parts of it.
As your consumer entertainment strategy comes to fruition, how will your business model change from what it has been in the past? Can you quantify goals for advertising-generated revenue?
We've seen good growth in our advertising revenue. That's an area where Google's the leader, and we need to be very innovative to drive the scale. A huge partnership with Viacom is helping us with that. We'll be signing up more partners around the world. Taking the advertising platform to scale is very valuable for things like the search property we offer.
We participate in a lot of business models. We have consumer software like games that you buy on a one-time basis. We have things that you can pay as a monthly fee, that we run up in our servers, as more of a service-type model. We have some software we give away for free. And so, ads are coming in as a big, strong component, but I don't see it replacing the others. We need all modalities to be strong.
In your philanthropic work, you've focused on fundamental health issues for the developing world. In the tech sector, there have been efforts such as the OLPC, and Microsoft's efforts to reduce prices in developing countries. But there's been criticism about these efforts. People have been saying, well, a US$200 laptop isn't going to do a kid much good if he doesn't live to age 5. With this in mind, what do you think technology companies -- that need to make profits -- can do to spur development in emerging markets?
Companies make their contribution by both giving some cash to broad areas but also by having their products in their area of expertise be tailored and donated to people who are poor. So in the case of Microsoft, we went and got involved in putting PCs in libraries. We went to Chile to put PCs in the libraries there, so by having a really robust machine connected to the Internet, going through the training, working with the government, getting all the pieces right -- we learned how to do that in the United States -- those projects were incredibly successful.
So while I admit for my foundation the top priority is health, Microsoft is about software. It's got a product, that's what the company knows. And that's where, in its activities around the world, its helping educators, it's helping kids who have curiosity, and I think that's fantastic for Microsoft to do that.
I'm taking the success that Microsoft had and putting tens of billions of that into the basic needs where breakthroughs can be made -- and there, we'll be using software. We'll be using mobile phones, we'll be doing data gathering, so we'll be using software as a tool to do it. I wish every company was doing as much as Microsoft is to take their expertise and look into that developing world and see what role they can play. We've had great impact, great success, and it helps us attract better employees. It makes our employees feel good because we were founded on the idea of empowerment. We're not just talking about it, we're out in over a hundred countries delivering it in a significant way.

The Supreme Court weighs in on legal unions, not holy matrimony
This week the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments on two cases regarding the constitutionality of gay marriage and whether the federal government or any state has the right to legally prohibit gay marriage.
The technicalities of the constitutional questions are for legal scholars to argue. From my perspective, it seems like equality under the law is a fairly straightforward concept. Two people who have a bond of love and commitment ought to be able to form a legal union regardless of gender preference.
Of course, that begs the question, "What is marriage?" Is it anything more or different than a "legal union"? Many people want to uphold the status of marriage as a "sacred" institution, presumably meaning "ordained by God". Well, OK, then, in that case it seems to me the state has no business determining who may or may not be married, since the state ought not to be about judging which unions are sanctioned by God. That is the role of faith communities, which under the Constitution are free to decide upon which unions they will confer the blessing of God and recognize as marriages.
I would hasten to add that there ought not be any legal privileges attached to marriage that do not also pertain to civil unions. Moreover, leaders of faith communities should not be in the business of acting as agents of the state by signing state-authored "marriage" licenses. If couples want to form a legal union, they should go to the appropriate legal authority, such as a justice of the peace. If they also want to have their union solemnized as marriage — holy matrimony — they should turn to their spiritual community for that purpose.
The appropriate question is whether, under the Constitution, the government has the right to discriminate against consenting adults who wish to form a legal union. As I said before, from the perspective of equal treatment under the law, the answer seems pretty straightforward to me.
So, if the Supreme Court rules, as I believe it should, that from a legal standpoint it would be unconstitutional to prohibit gay marriage, because that is strictly a prerogative of faith communities, then each faith community will need to decide for itself, as they should, whether to bless as marriage the union of same-gender couples.
For myself as a Christian, I defer to the law of love, articulated in the New Testament in several different ways by Jesus, Paul, the author of I John, and others: "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love." (I John 4: 7 – 8). I believe this is the meaning of Jesus's life and message, and so I am part of a faith community which recognizes and celebrates loving unions regardless of gender preference.
I am acutely aware that mine is only one Christian perspective on this issue. Other Christians will disagree, even vehemently. That's OK, they are free to do so and to identify with a faith community which shares their beliefs and values. The bottom line is that we all stand under God's grace and God's judgment, and thus we can gracefully commend both ourselves and each other to that grace and judgment with neither animosity toward each other or — for myself, at least — fear of God. For God is love, and perfect love, as we know, casts out fear.

Stoyana Stoeva & Maya Doneva
The Teahouse of Maya Doneva and Stoyana Stoeva aims to provide first job to young people raised in institutions as an instrument for achieving independent lifestyle and social environment of high quality.
Young people who had been institutionalized have difficulties accessing the labor market. Often, they had only achieved a low educational level, been surrounded by negative role models, lived in an unhealthy and insecure family environment, and faced negative social prejudices. These factors create a low quality of life for these young people, limiting their opportunities for development and achieving an independent life. As a result, they would not be able to contribute their potential to society.
Maya and Stoyana developed a mentorship program at Social Teahouse that helps institutionalized young people achieve personal and vocational development. Many of them often receive their first jobs through Social Teahouse. Maya and Stoyana also organize cultural events and seminars for these young people, which creates a rich environment where they can develop themselves further.

My favorite apps, however, have always been the somewhat more quirky, esoteric apps such as Rando or ThrowBack. And of course there's apps for shooting time-lapse, apps which turn your camera into a light meter, apps that help you record metadata for your film photos, and even apps that aren't strictly photography applications, but which have been enthusiastically adopted by photographers, such as apps that help you figure out where the sun will be.
So that's cool. But even more interesting, there seems to be a growing movement to use the smartphone as a hardware platform for photography. It started with add-on lenses and adaptors, which range from, "hmm, interesting" to "please, don't insult me", and has gone seriously over the top with the Sony QX10 and QX100, which by all appearances are entire add-on cameras. Conceptually, they remind me of the Ricoh GXR, except they might actually be successful because they leverage something you already own.
That's the key to the smartphone hardware platform movement. I can't be bothered to buy a film scanner, but I'll rave about a demonstrably inferior product because at its heart is a phone I already own. These hardware add-ons come from everywhere, but in particular crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo seem to spawn smartphone photography add-ons at a dangerous rate. By which I mean, dangerous to my wallet. In addition to the Lomography scanner, I have funded and am eagerly awaiting the Snapzoom, Poppy, and Nova. I even funded the Cookoo watch, mostly because I wanted a remote trigger for the shutter on my phone (which is lucky, I guess, since that's about the only thing the watch does that actually works). And it was only through an act of sheer will that I avoided pulling the trigger on a $450 Enfojer. By the way, the Enfojer video has the best opening line of any Kickstarter/Indiegogo pitch video ever: "Hello! And enough about me…"
There's something undeniably appealing about being able to essentially buy peripherals for your camera. Not a lens, or a flash, or a grip, such as you might buy for a conventional camera, and which simply helps you do more of what the camera already does, and which may not even work with the next camera you get. Rather, many smartphone camera peripherals are radical enough that they turn the camera into something that it's otherwise not. And for the most part, they're generalized enough that they'll work with your next smartphone. And that's key. The ultimately disposable nature of the smartphone actually increases the value of the peripherals, since you know you'll rarely have to wait longer than 24 months before you've revitalized the camera at their core.
I feel that somewhere in all this is a profound insight waiting to be made, but I can't quite articulate it. Since I seem unable to end this post in a blaze of pithy wisdom, I'll just say that I think it's interesting that, for whatever reason, most of these devices originate on crowdfunding sites. It's almost like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have become the app store of smartphone hardware add-ons.

Q: I've tried cutting my dog's grooming sessions from our family budget. Unfortunately, my dog is big, hairy and sheds a lot. Bathing him at home turns into a major ordeal and the whole bathroom gets soaked. How can I save money without driving up my water bill or my blood pressure?
A: Bath time for my pooch Lulu used to resemble scenes from "The Miracle Worker." But that was before I discovered do-it-yourself dog washes. With Lulu safely and somewhat solemnly tethered to the wall inside a waist-high tub, I could scrub away to my heart's delight. This option saves me the headache of chasing her around the tub, and it saves water because I rely on a doggy "spa" that uses low-flow aerators to conserve water. It's a much cheaper option than hiring a groomer, and it works well for my short-haired pooch.
Since you have a super-size grooming issue on your hands, I paid a call to my friends at Dogma Dog Care. Groomer Nancy Rector has a few insider secrets that will help you cut costs and conserve energy while caring for your dirty dog.
Gather your gear before you get the dog
Make sure all the tools you need are within reach. That includes your towels, shampoo and dryer. Also, make sure to brush the dog before bath time. "This is essential for a long-haired dog because bathing can tighten up mats," Rector says. "If you are going to use a Furminator shedding tool, dirty hair comes out more easily, so do it before the bath."
She added that a bathmat inside the tub is essential to helping prevent your dog from slipping and potentially getting injured. It also helps panicky dogs feel more secure in the tub. Leashing a nervous dog gives you two free hands to bathe it quickly.
Drop the 'tude at the bathroom door
Attitude is everything. Save the pleading, the bribing and the yelling; Rector says those tactics simply do not work. Of course, you may already know that by now. "Most dogs that act up are used to being yelled at or pleaded with," she says. "Dogs regard loud words as barking and react by becoming excited. Pleading is useless."
Instead, focus on the task at hand and communicate through simple commands, the power of touch, and the power of silence. Tools like rubber brushes can make the experience go faster, she says. "Most people who handle dogs professionally or for sport are pretty quiet and even the most nervous dog will stop to enjoy the rubdown."
It also helps to tie your dog to the faucet or get a bathtub restraint designed for the task. She warns that soap holders simply aren't strong enough to do the trick. Once you are set up, use a spray bottle or a nozzle with a low-flow aerator to wet the dog around its neck and face and apply a tearless shampoo to that sensitive area. This tactic also helps to prevent fleas from moving to the face while you are shampooing the rest of your dog's body. Wet the dog from back to front, top to bottom and then apply shampoo, using one hand to hold the sprayer and the other hand to gently guide the dog. Keep bath time soothing by giving the dog a nice massage before you rinse — front to back, top to bottom.
Once you've finished, wrap the dog in a towel and begin a rubdown to remove all the water before he exits the tub. Finish with a compliment for the dog — if he has earned it.
Mid-range shampoos do the trick
Most dog shampoos are supposed to be diluted, Rector says. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid pouring money down the drain. While the pet market abounds with shampoos that contain everything from green tea to tea tree oil, she notes that professionals typically prefer moderately priced grooming products. Choose any scent you like and, when in doubt, look for products that contain oatmeal. It's a key ingredient that soothes most skin types.
Conditioner requires a thorough rinse
Dogs with hard or wiry coats do not require conditioner, Rector says. This step works best for dogs with long hair, but only if you follow up with a good rinse — make that two or three good rinses. "Any conditioner left in the coat will attract dirt, undoing all your hard work," she says. "There is also a good reason why we groomers use conditioner when we de-shed — it loosens up any fur that's ready to come out."
Keep dryers on the 'cool' setting
"Use a good hair dryer set on low temperature," she says. "In fact, never use any heat source at all, especially on a short-faced breed." A box fan placed in front of a well-ventilated crate can do the job, but the greenest and cheapest approach is to simply take the dog for a long walk after bath time.
Heavy shedders require daily brushing
While it may be tempting to just grab the clippers and shave your pooch down, Rector says it's best to resist that urge. Instead, start with daily brushing and keep in mind that you probably will need professional grooming at least twice a year for general upkeep. That is especially true for "spitz" breeds such as Pomeranians and Malamutes. Shaving those breeds can ruin the coat, Rector warns. Besides, "It can take two years to grow back and looks horrible in the interim," she says. (Who wants to get the stink eye from their dog for two years?)
Pay the pros to put up with high-strung pooches
If you have a dog that really puts up a fight, Rector says to save the drama and hire a pro. "Most dogs settle down with us when the owners are not there," she says, adding that experience counts. Don't be shy about asking the groomer how long they have handled dogs. "Groomers usually cut hair and not all of them bathe the dogs they are working on. Being a one-woman show, I bathe and groom."
I hope this helps to reduce the entertainment value of your dog's next bath.

David Martinez was a night school Spanish teacher who teaches the class Will took in The Spanish Teacher, the twelfth episode of Season Three.
He is described as "the hottest Spanish teacher in Ohio history." He was offered a Spanish teaching position at McKinley to replace Will, who decided that he was not good enough to teach Spanish, and only fit for the Glee Club.
He is portrayed by actor and singer, Ricky Martin.
Season Three
The Spanish Teacher
David comes in as a Spanish tutor who teaches night classes, which Will takes to improve his Spanish. His impressive Spanish techniques and charisma catches the eye of Will who invites him to a cup of coffee, which he accepts. After speaking to Will he reveals he used to be a tooth model and that he enjoys singing and wishes he could set up a night school glee club.
He reveals that he is from Ohio, despite his impressive Spanish, but has grown up from Chilean parents who grew up speaking Spanish. His main intention is to teach kids rather than his old job working as a tooth model. He is then invited by Will to the Glee Club to "spice up" the Spanish assignment for the week. He, along with the New Directions, performs a partly Spanish rendition of Sexy and I Know It.
David later performs La Isla Bonita with Santana to enhance the Spanish feel, which, at the same time, intimidates Will. At the end of the episode, will admits his mediocrity in teaching Spanish, revealing he is stepping down from the job. When Will offers it to him, he is overjoyed and hugs Will in gratitude.
Season Five
He is briefly mentioned by April after Holly says there is a Facebook group for people who have been guests of the Glee Club. According to April, he is part of this group.

Coconut, shrimp, soup and banana bread. If you like these things, then you'll LOVE my SRC assigned blog this month! There's no shortage of guacamole recipes either over at Morsels of Life! I liked the one with mango. I also really liked the onion strings, avocado fries and creamy coconut popsicles! But I don't have room in my freezer right now to make popsicles, or that would have been the recipe for me this month.
I decided to go with the Dutch baby recipe because it's something I've been meaning to try for a long time now. I realize that my last few SRC posts have all been sweet. I like sugar. That's my problem in life.
Since I don't have a cast iron pan, I used a round cake pan and hoped for the best. The texture was a little chewy in the middle. I've never had a Dutch baby before, so I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but it didn't bother me at all. I still ate most of it myself!
Have you ever had a Beaver Tail? If you're Canadian, you probably have. Here's their Pinterest board. Mmm! It's basically a fried piece of dough with toppings of your choice. My favourite is the cinnamon-sugar with a squeeze of lemon, so that's what I did with the Dutch baby. As soon as it came out I sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar. I cut it into wedges and squeezed some lemon on it. Yum yum! The kids put syrup on theirs (of course).
Topped with cinnamon-sugar and lemon juice. Yummy!
You can see it collapsed a little.
Dutch Baby
From Morsels of Life
Makes 4 servings
2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 large eggs
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon 2% milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Toppings of your choice (I used cinnamon sugar, lemon wedges and syrup for the kids)
Preheat your pan in a 400F oven for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the 1 tablespoon of butter, eggs, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla and cinnamon until well combined.
Remove your pan from oven and swirl around remaining butter, covering the bottom of the pan. If you do use a pan with a handle, remember that the handle will be hot. I know it sounds like a silly reminder, but if you're like me, there's a chance your brain may be on a little break at that moment. Use an oven mitt.
Gently pour the batter into hot pan, and then return pan to oven for 20 minutes more. CJ said not to open the oven, so I didn't.
Remove the Dutch baby from oven and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (or whatever you want). Slice it up and enjoy.

Made for cramped spaces like cars and NY apartments, the Dyson Root 6 takes Dyson's special sucking power and transfers it to a handheld. Despite looking like something out of Ghostbusters, the Root 6 maintains suction like all other Dysons, and has a "one-touch emptying" system so you don't have to get your hands (very) dirty.
It's relatively cheap for a Dyson at $149.99, meaning we're definitely picking one to clean up the mess our kids make in our precious car when the Root 6 is available October 23.

Stanczyk noticed yesterday (18-JUNE-2014) that Metryki.genebaza.pl had some additions. The Polish Archive from Gdansk (AP_GDANSK) was added to Genbaza.pl late on Wednesday.
So now when you click on the above link, you should see:
The top archive, AD_Kielce, is a Diocessan archive, the church archive from Kielce Diocese (Stanczyk's ancestral diocese).
The new archive is second in this list, AP_GDANSK. The church archive and the bottom four archives were already there.
If you click on the AP_GDANSK, then you will see five research collections (aka fonds). One is an evangelical parish from Krokowa and there are also four USC (civil registration offices, similar to the USA's county clerk) fonds with vital records.
I looked at two of the USCs (Sopot – a very nice resort town on the Baltic and Kamienica Szlachecka). Their data started at year 1874 and each link was either a Birth or a Marriage or a Death metrical book. Each vital record type was a separate unit. So you had three units per year. My early searches did not locate any alegata in 1874 Sopot.
As you may have surmised this is Prussian-Poland partition data and as such is in the common German long-form birth (or marriage or death) certificates (not the Napoleonic Codex paragraph form of Russian-Poland nor the Latin Box format so prevalent in Austrian-Poland partitions. The form's text are in German. The first birth record I saw was in 1874 Kamienica Szlachecka Births (#1), was Otto August Carl Mark (son of Ferdinand Mark & Amalie Mark nee Gohrbanet).

Australia's mutant vomiting bug spreads misery around the world
A new strain of a vomiting bug first found in Australia has killed nursing home residents from California to Japan, spoiled luxury cruises and may have sickened more than 1 million Britons so far in its global sweep.
The new norovirus, identified in Sydney last March, caused the worst bout of gastroenteritis in a decade in Victoria last year. Now health-care facilities in the Northern Hemisphere have been warned to prepare for a "severe" epidemic this winter, researchers from eight countries have said in a report this month.
The norovirus strain is adding to a list of northern winter ails topped by a resurgence of flu. Gastro outbreaks have been reported in New Zealand, France, Belgium, Denmark and Scotland, and cruise ships carrying suspected patients have docked in New York and Florida the past three weeks, heralding a new wave of infections for which there is no specific treatment or vaccine.
"Cruise ships are almost a sentinel sensing system for norovirus," said Peter White, professor of microbiology at the University of New South Wales, who helped identify and characterize the new strain. "Norovirus is going to wreak havoc in their cruise industry for the next year while this new strain gets a grip."
Carnival Corp's 14-deck Queen Mary 2 sailed into Brooklyn January 3 after 204 passengers and 16 crew came down with suspected norovirus. A week earlier, Carnival's Emerald Princess arrived in Fort Lauderdale after 189 passengers and 31 crew had developed the same symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
An official at Miami-based Carnival referred questions on norovirus, sometimes known as winter vomiting bug, to Cruise Lines International Association, an industry group.
"Historic incidence rates of gastrointestinal illness aboard cruise ships are low," said David Peikin, the association's director of public affairs. "One of the cruise industries' top priorities is preventing gastrointestinal illness from being brought on board a ship."
While long-term care facilities and schools are especially prone to outbreaks, new epidemics of acute gastro often emerge on cruise ships, where control is hindered by close living quarters and shared dining areas. With regular turnover of passengers, noroviruses on ships can repeatedly infect new susceptible travelers, researchers at the Center for Infectious Disease Control in Bilthoven, Netherlands, found in a 2008 study.
"Cruise ship holidays create an environment in which norovirus is easily spread and outbreaks readily occur," the authors said, noting that a reporting system for cruise ship- related outbreaks" may provide an early warning system for winter epidemics in the wider community.
Exhaustive control measures may not always be sufficient to eliminate the virus, the researchers said. Norovirus can persist on surfaces and is resistant to many common disinfectants, according to the Atlanta-based CDC. It estimates more than 90 percent of diarrheal disease outbreaks on cruise ships are caused by norovirus.
"It's almost impossible for them to protect themselves against a norovirus outbreak once it occurs," White said. "The only way you could do it would be to stay in your cabin the whole time and not go out."
Symptoms of norovirus include a sudden onset of vomiting and, or diarrhea. Some people may have a temperature, headache and stomach cramps. The illness usually resolves in one or two days and there are no long-term effects.
This virus will definitely lead to large increases in gastroenteritis across the globe for the next year.
Outbreaks occur throughout the year, peaking in January and February.
The disease can be severe, especially for the very young, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, said Bill Rawlinson, senior medical virologist and director of virology at South Eastern Sydney and Illawarra Area Health Service.
Immunocompromised patients can excrete the virus for many weeks at low levels. Complications arise when infected people aren't adequately rehydrated, he said.
Two residents of a senior care center in Mill Valley, California, died in an outbreak that sickened dozens of people. Japan has recorded 123 outbreaks in 17 prefectures linked to restaurants, hospitals, banquet facilities, nursing homes and hotels since September, according to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. At least 10 people died from suspected infections.
The Sydney variant is the result of a combination of two different strains, according to White, the microbiology professor. It also mutated slightly from its closest relatives, ensuring nobody is immune to it.
"The immunity that people carry from previous norovirus infections won't protect them from this new virus," White said. "Therefore, the virus can infect many more people."
The new strain doesn't cause more serious illness than others, and strategies for managing outbreaks are the same for any norovirus, the UK's Health Protection Agency said. These measures include washing the hands thoroughly and regularly, particularly after using the toilet and before eating.
"Noroviruses mutate rapidly and new strains are constantly emerging," said David Brown, director of the HPA's virology reference department, in a January 9 statement. "There is no specific treatment for norovirus infection other than to let the illness take its course, with symptoms usually lasting around two days. Keeping hydrated is very important and you can take over-the-counter medicines to relieve headaches and aches and pains."
The best way to stem its spread is to practice good hand hygiene and for sufferers to avoid contact with other people, including staying home from work and not returning for two days once symptoms have subsided, said White.
"This virus will definitely lead to large increases in gastroenteritis across the globe for the next year," he said.
