William and Mary Graham are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Damey Catherine Graham to James Thomas Ross, son of James Meredith and Nancy Shepherd. James and Damey were married 9 August 1887 in Snowville, Pulaski, Virginia.
I am stepping into a bit of a minefield in writing this biography because there is such a wide variety of opinions on the history of this family. The stories I have were handed down and cannot be verified. Some claim to have documents but I have been unable to obtain copies of these documents for various reasons. These purported documents are family records and the public records I cannot find. Therefore, hopefully documentation will come forward and this post will be altered as that information presents itself. Poor Damey, not much conversation is available about her because there is so little controversy.
The picture above is of James Ross Meredith, or I assume he was called that at that time. James Thomas Meredith was born to Nancy Adeline Shepherd 22 September 1869 in Snowville, Virginia.
In 1951, a few months before his death, James was interviewed by his granddaughter, Donna Beachell. She indicated his mind was very clear. He indicated to Donna that he was born out of wedlock and that his real father was James Meredith. He said he was born in Snowville, Virginia. He also said this James Meredith adopted him when he was about 4 years old and raised him. He said the courts gave him the name James Thomas Ross Meredith.
The records of Pulaski County indicate this:
"Order Book 5, page 25
September 2, 1873
On the motion of Anderson Linkous, Overseer of the Poor for High Wassie Township for an order to bind James Ross aged 3 years son of Nancy Ross who has become a county charge and it appearing to the Court that said James Ross is now a county charge. It is ordered that said Overseer of the Poor bind out according to Law to James Meredith the said James Ross son of Nancy Ross aged 3 years until he attains the age of 21 years and besides teaching him reading, writing and arithmetic said Meredith shall be required to pay the said James Ross upon his attaining the age of 21 years the sum of 100 dollars."
The courts recognized him as James Ross, probably after his mother's married name. I have been unable to locate a birth record for him under either name.
He was almost 5 years old when Nancy Ross went into the poorhouse, or at least when the county gave little James to old James Meredith. I am not sure why they thought he was 3. Although some records have him born in 1869, and if this was correct, he was just shy of his 4th birthday. But I will stick with the birthday that he gave during his life.
The county placed James Ross into the charge of James Meredith until he was 21 years of age. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to ask when this James Meredith was born. We also do not know when this old James Meredith died, or if he raised him until he was 21 (and paid the $100). After James and Damey married, John Phibbs (brother-in-law to Fanny Ross) remembered visiting the family in West Virginia and that James' mother, Nancy lived with her son and daughter-in-law, James and Damey, for much of the time the family lived in West Virginia. Apparently Nancy was strong enough to carry in heavy sacks of coal and potatoes by herself. This probably would have been the turn of the 20th century since they were in West Virginia. No mention is made of old James Meredith who was the father and supposedly raised him. Nancy must have kept contact through the years, lived close enough, or even got little James back. We have so many holes to fill with information that we will likely never have.
Clarita Morgan, a researcher in Pulaski County in the 1970's wrote to Donna and told her it was not uncommon for ladies to be placed in the poorhouse for having a child out of wedlock. These women were considered a menace and a burden to the community. At any rate, Nancy Shepherd Ross lived an especially hard life. It is hard to put ourselves into their scene or time without many more facts.
When James married Damey, the marriage certificate has J. R. Mearideth. Yet, when all the children were born, James and Damey gave them each the Ross name (or so it seems). Damey died under the Ross name and no records indicate she ever went by the Meredith name. James is listed as a farmer.
When James went to the LDS temple on 20 June 1935, he gave his name as James Thomas Ross born 22 September at Snowville, Pulaski, Virginia. He gave his father as James Thomas Ross and mother as Nancy Shepard. He also gave his baptismal date as 17 April 1898. Nothing in any of the records provide any evidence of a James Thomas Ross to be his father, and either the recorder at the Temple put the wrong last name, or James made a mistake because he seems to have clearly known his father was James Meredith (was his father's middle name really Thomas?). When Fanny went to the LDS temple on 20 June 1923 she said her parents were James F Ross (misread?) and Damy C Graham.
Now, having said all that, one of the difficulties is that there are tons of James Merediths who lived in Pulaski County, Virginia. In the 1880 Census, little James Meredith is living with elder James Meredith who was born in 1804 and the family lived in Hiwassie. It is not uncommon for a 65 year old man to have a child. However, elder James Meredith has a family of 10 children with his wife. In that census, only elder and little James are shown as living together. Elder James' wife, Sarah (Sallie) Jane Bell Meredith, is "ill" and living with their daughter Sarah Jane Meredith Elkins. I want to speculate but will not.
For years it was thought that James and Sarah Meredith's son, James Anderson Meredith, was the father of our James Thomas Meredith. But this was easily resolved in that James Anderson Meredith died in 1864 in a battle at Lexington, Lexington, Virginia, four or five years before little James Meredith was born. Others thought that James Meredith, the son of Hugh Meredith Jr elder James Meredith's brother, was the father. He is four years older than Nancy and their ages seem more conducive to a relationship. But, we are unable to track him down and prove anything for certain. But one thing is sure, elder James Meredith told the census taker in 1880 that little James Meredith was his son. I guess we have to move forward with that record as the basis for our assumptions. Would the Uncle (elder James Meredith) of James Meredith (Hugh Jr's son) ruin his good name by claiming little James Meredith as his own to save the name of his nephew? I just do not know, but the census gives documentation of a relationship (we all know how terrible the census records are for accuracy other than names of family members and location of living). (Some of my original research and ruminating on these issues can be found here.)
This begs the question of why 27 year old Nancy would have intimate relations with 65 year old and married to another elder James. Ms. Morgan above said it was not uncommon for servants living in the home to be taken advantage of by the homeowner. But we have no evidence that Nancy was a servant in their home. If he did this and kicked her out, it could account for her being in the poorhouse and his reclaiming the child in court. But we have nothing to support the notion Ms. Morgan suggests.
Well, if this is not enough to confuse the matter, lets jump back in time before James was born to where Nancy married Harvy D Ross 7 June 1860 in Pulaski, Pulaski, Virginia. She married Harvy at 19 years old. On 9 September 1861, Harvy enlisted in Company F, 54th Infantry Regiment Virginia for the Confederacy. He left for military service and we have few details of when he returned. She bore James Meredith in 1868 and as far as we know, Harvy had not yet returned from the war. By 1870 Harvy was back living in Alum Ridge, Floyd, Virginia after the Civil War. We do not know when he left Virginia for the "west". William Andrew Ross was born on 10 October 1873 in Snowville. The birth index for Pulaski County lists William as a bastard, but his death certificate lists Harvy Ross as the father! (Death certificates are highly unreliable for parental information.) But why they were not back living together in 1870, we do not know. He was back in the area and could very well be the father of William. I just wish we had more information. He supposedly moved to Tennessee or Kentucky and passed away there, never having anything to do with his son William, if he really is the father. William was raised by Nancy and was told by her that Harvy was his father. William never had a memory of meeting his father.
Now that I have given more history of Nancy Adeline Shepherd in this biography of her son and daughter-in-law, we can move on. Our documentation is weak of who little James Meredith's father is and where he was until he married Damey. Although, I should mention that a cousin, Jim Ross, who claims he is in possession of the journals of James Meredith (or Ross) indicates that he was raised by elder James Meredith to believe that elder James was actually his father. Well, rephrased, he never had any doubt elder James Meredith was his father. Therefore, we move forward on that assumption even though I have only hearsay from a cousin (as I cannot get a copy of the book) and an 1880 census record.
Damey Catherine Graham was born 25 November 1874 in Pulaski, Pulaski, Virginia to William and Mary Graham. William, her father, was a laborer on farms who moved to the mines. As a miner he moved where the best paying jobs for mining were located. In Virginia, the family worked in the iron mines. Damey met James and probably knew him and his family growing up. Hiwassie appears to be a very small town, even today. I cannot imagine that James and Damey did not know each other growing up. The two married in 1887 and began to raise their family. All four children were born in Virginia.
Robert Leonard Ross was born 25 April 1888 in Draper, Pulaski, Virginia.
John "Jack" William Ross was born 2 September 1890 in Pulaski, Pulaski, Virginia. Read more about John at this link: Ross-Sharp Wedding
Fanny Elizabeth Ross was born 18 November 1893 in Reed Island, Pulaski, Virginia. Read more about Fanny at this link: Calvin and Fanny Phibbs
James Thomas Ross was born 19 October 1895 in Radford, Montgomery, Virginia.
Damey chose to be baptized into the LDS faith 27 February 1898 (a few months before James). Family tradition holds it was in West Virginia but does not seem to hold up with the rest of the story. James and Damey were supposed to have followed her family to West Virginia to the mines. James and Damey do not seem to appear on the 1900 Census but Damey's family were still in Hiwassie on the 15 June 1900. Damey's family moved shortly after 1900 to West Virginia to work in the coal mines of McDowell County. James and Damey (and James' brother, William) followed and were living in McDowell County, West Virginia for sure in 1906 when Fanny married Calvin Dickerson Phibbs in Welch, McDowell, West Virginia. The first three children all married in McDowell County. James Jr returned to Mayberry, Carroll, Virginia in 1913 to marry his wife. On 10 May 1910, James and Damey were living in Big Creek, McDowell, West Virginia.
James and Damey Ross left Pulaski County about 1913 or 1914 and headed to settle in Rupert, Minidoka, Idaho. James confirmed his brother a member of the LDS church 26 October 1913, so it had to be after that date. As mentioned above, Fanny had married Calvin Phibbs and most of the Phibbs family of Virginia had moved out to Rupert in 1912. The opening of the new farm land in Minidoka and Cassia Counties, a new sugar factory at Burley, Cassia, Idaho, and an economic downturn in McDowell County propelled the move for both families. Robert, John, and James Jr followed later as it does not appear any of the children went with James and Damey when they left.
James and Damey set up house in Rupert for a time probably living with Calvin and Fanny until they could find and afford a suitable place to live. We do not know exactly where James and Damey lived for much of their time in Idaho because they appear to have rented. Robert listed his parents as living in Idahome, Cassia, Idaho when he registered for the World War I draft in 1918. That fall, James and Damey apparently moved to Paul, Minidoka, Idaho to work on the first sugar beet campaign of the newly built sugar factory in Paul. They remained there until about 1926. Robert married Rose Sanders (nee Clawson?) in Burley, Cassia, Idaho in 1919. John met Ethel Sharp Streeter in Paul while visiting his parents in 1919 and married her in early 1920. James and Damey somehow fail to appear on the 1920 Census, or their names are transcribed incorrectly. James settled in Vernal, Uintah, Utah and attempted a short move to Rupert in 1922-23 to be closer to family before moving back to Vernal. Milo Ross, James and Damey's grandson, remembers his grandparents living on the north side of the tracks in Paul when he lived there 1925-1926.
In 1925, James and Damey's daughter-in-law, Ethel Sharp Ross passed away. John, their son, sought work and James and Damey took in all four of the children of Ethel. The baby, Earnest Jackson Ross, died in September in Rupert, where he was being tended by the Phibbs. By the spring of 1926, James and Damey were impoverished enough that they asked Ethel's family to come get the children from Paul. Apparently shortly after, the family moved again.
By 2 April 1930, James and Damey had moved to Bend, Deschutes, Oregon. Robert apparently lived in the area and Robert's son, Orson Lee Ross, was also living with James and Damey. Robert is in Portland but appears to not live there, so this home in Bend may have been Robert's or James and Damey were tending Orson, who was 9. Robert later died in Bend in 1944.
James' journals indicate they lived in Merced, Merced, California for most of the 1930's. Damey passed away in Marysville, Yuba, California 3 February 1933 of colon cancer. Her death notice in Rupert indicates she died after an operation for cancer of the stomach. She had been in the hospital for five months previous to that. The obituary also mentions that John lived in Manteca, San Joaquin, California, James in Lapoint, Uintah, Utah, and Robert in Marysville. Fanny was still living in Rupert.
James returned to Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah and on 20 June 1935 he was endowed, saw Damey's proxy ordinance work was completed, and was sealed to her.
By about 1936, James was back visiting family in the east. He spoke at a Conference of the LDS church that had met in Grundy County, Tennessee. James spoke that morning to the assembled crowd. That same day, James' nephew, Howard Ross was baptized. These conferences were a big deal because it was an all day event for James' brother's family to travel all the way from Gary, West Virginia to Tennessee, spend the day in meetings, and then go home. Howard remembers meeting "Uncle Jim" for the first time that day. Many people enjoyed the sermon he gave and came up to give their commendation to William and Sarah on his fine speech. William's wife, Sarah, had to set them right, that it was William's brother, James who delivered the sermon. Howard did not hear the sermon because in those days unbaptized children were not allowed into the meetings and even though he was to be baptized that day, he was not baptized yet.
"Uncle Jim" returned with the family to West Virginia and stayed for a couple of weeks. James was so disappointed that the family did not have a cow for milk that he went out and purchased one for the family while he was there. When James left, he took and sold the cow too. The family recalled how rare it was for them to have milk, and it was many years before they would have it again. James was also noted by the family for his girth and the sheer capacity to each large amounts of food. Howard thought he must have pushed to near 300 pounds. Howard also remembers that Uncle Jim was missing a finger and upon asking, James indicated that he had been bit by a spider and that the Dr. took off the finger to save his life because the finger had started to rot.
The story goes that James married while he was visiting the family in West Virginia. Family history records have James marrying Etta on 6 June 1936 in Snowville, Virginia. However, later information indicates this was Henrietta Fountain who was born in Sacramento, Sacramento, California and died in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona. How she met James and why they would have married in Virginia does not add up, especially where she was from the west. A cousin has the marriage in Sacramento which seems much more accurate. A death certificate at some point will rest the case. Her full maiden name was Henrietta Fountain and she was a widow of Charles Henry Lowell in 1925. She died in 1946 according to the memories of Milo Ross and he is accurate.
James and Etta relocated to Lakeport, Lake, California after their marriage. Lakeport was a town for the wealthy and Ms. Etta must have brought the money into the marriage. It was here that James applied for Social Security 4 November 1937. Due to the requirements he use his legal name, James went by James Ross Meredith the remainder of his life. He began receiving his benefits 6 January 1938. On 21 April 1938 he received a letter indicating he would have to have been a resident of California 15 years to receive the payments and no further payments were made.
James then married a widow by the name of Nora Brewer. Her full maiden name was Martha Elnora Cackler and her late husband, Daniel Gordon Brewer, had passed away in 1943. James and Martha were married in Fresno, Fresno, California 14 July 1947. She had been born in 1877 in Iowa and died in Fresno in 1974, just short of 100 years old.
James lived until 13 April 1951 when he passed away in Fresno. He was buried in Belmont Memorial in Fresno. The last few years of his life, he took back the Meredith name. Milo Ross, his grandson, indicates this was for Social Security benefits which had to be claimed under the birth name. Either way, his tombstone reads James R Meredith. His last letter to Donna Beachell was signed James Ross Meredith.
When he passed away in 1951, he was living at 344 Theta Street in Fresno the home of his widow. One last thing, apparently while living in Fresno, he served as a Bishop of the LDS church. We do not know when or where, but several lines of the family were all aware of this. More information will be needed to share more. The fact he was called upon to speak at a conference of the church in Tennessee seems to show he held some position but we don't know anything more.
Update, we visited James' grave in 2019.

I'm starting to sound like a broken record: I went to the farmers market, I bought too much, I baked, I cooked, I baked.
But how anyone doesn't fall into this pattern eludes me, especially as August draws to a close. I wrote my most recent Jerusalem Post column about the lush rainbow of tomatoes and berries and stone fruits here in the northeast and finding ways to savor them during the last days of summer. I wrote about the rush to relax, the urgent joie de vivre that these fruits instill. (For more on this topic, check out what my friend Leah recently wrote about peaches in Saveur.)
In the JPost article, I shared two recipes that do more than just use the best of summer. They do more than just highlight the best of summer. They intensify the best of summer.
First, what do you get when you toss a handful of baby tomatoes with thick pomegranate molasses and slip them under a puff pastry crust? You might remember this recipe – it's a tomato tarte tatin the produces the most concentrated tomato taste that I've ever tasted. The pomegranate molasses sweetens and tartens the tomatoes as they melt into a jam-like pulp.
Second, what do you get when you slip a handful of plums into a cake batter tinged with lime and rose? Well, you've already seen that cake with its tart plum juice dripping into the sweet floral cake. On a plum kick these days these days, I recreated the flavors in a much simpler cake with a batter that uses only one bowl and five minutes of your time. Because, as we all know, the less time in the kitchen, the more time to bask in the sunshine and drink rosé in the evenings.
But I'm going to let you in on a little secret. These recipes are also dig-your-heels-in, don't-let-summer-go kinds of recipes that recreate that summer feeling when the farmers markets are in the rear view mirror. The small tomatoes, with their high flesh-to-seed ratio, used in the tarte tatin are also the best kind to buy year-round when other tomatoes are wan and mealy. In fact, I first made this tarte tatin towards the end of spring. As for the cake, use it as a base for any summer fruit that freezes well. I freeze fresh blueberries (I have a whole bag of wild ones in my freezer) and my mother likes peaches. Any change in texture of the fruit due to freezing doesn't impact the cake since the fruit cooks and mushes and melts into the batter.
But, enough about looking ahead. For right now, let's just look around.
P.S. Click here to catch up on any JPost articles that you might have missed.
Plum cake with lime and rose
This recipe was adapted from Rivka's Easiest Cake Ever on Not Derby Pie. It lives up to its name as the simplest cake I've ever made. All you need is one bowl, one spoon, a cutting board and knife, and a pan. The batter is thick, but is still pourable. A few swipes of a spatula gets it right into the pan. The fruit juices ooze all over and dribble beautiful color throughout the cake. The plums I used were on the tart side, which played nicely against the sweet cake. I added lime zest and rose water (available in any Middle Eastern store, rose water is a nice complement to any red fruit including berries), but they can be replaced by equal amounts of lemon zest and vanilla.
Any type of juicy fruit works. Come fall, I make this cake with apples that I briefly cook them down with a bit of sugar to help them release their juices.
Serves 8-10
– 6-8 small plums or 4-6 large plums
– 1 C flour
– 3/4 C sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 C canola oil
– 1 t baking powder
– 1 t rose water (or vanilla)
– 1 lime for zest
– Optional: 2-3 T demerara sugar, also called sugar in the raw or turbinado sugar
Prep. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan, springform or square pan. (If you want to plate this, use a springform; otherwise, just serve it out of the pan.) Cut the plums into wedges (6 wedges per small plum, 8 wedges per large).
Mix. Mix together the remaining ingredients (except for the demerara sugar). You can mix this all by hand in less time than it takes to drag your stand mixer out of the cabinet.
Arrange. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. The batter is thick, so you'll need a spatula to scoop it all out and then spread it evenly in the pan. Arrange the plum slices however you want and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
Bake. Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

In the write-ups for the Jolt Awards in Coding Tools, I called out Microsoft for the sky-high prices of the high-end editions of Visual Studio 2013. As I pointed out, the top edition, referred to as "Ultimate," has a retail price of $13,299, while the next lower-priced version ("Premium") costs $7000 less which remains a princely sum. These numbers are for show. No one actually pays them. Rather, they pay for the less-expensive corresponding MSDN subscription, which includes the desired edition. And at large sites, customers pay even lower prices. In sum, the $13K price is there primarily to create the perception of value (and of correspondingly significant discounts on bids for new business.)
While there is no doubt that Visual Studio is great software and delivers considerable value, I can't help asking why it does not deliver more. For example, one of the highly touted new features of VS2013 is built-in support for Git, the addition of which means that Microsoft finally added a feature found in other IDEs for years. To make the point explicitly clear, VS2013 now has out-of-the-box support for two SCMs: TFS and Git. Hardly the stuff of $13K tools.
Moreover, why hasn't Microsoft included the IDE enhancements offered by two other contenders for the Jolt Award, DevExpress CodeRush and JetBrains ReSharper? While Visual Studio occasionally aggregates the features of previous versions of these tools, it does so very slowly at roughly the speed it adds SCM tools. The reason for this is political. Microsoft has long had a relationship of benevolent protection towards vendors who sell development tools and extensions: It will not roll over the vendors by bundling equivalent products in its offerings.
Because of this dynamic, .NET developers enjoy a very wide array of software, especially controls and libraries, from third-party vendors, such as Telerik, ComponentOne, Infragistics, n/Software, and many others. These vendors get cover for their own pricing by the prices charged by Microsoft for the base product. That this model works and has richly rewarded all involved parties is undeniably true.
For comparison, consider the Java ecosystem, where the model is turned upside down. That community has long been raised on the notion of free or nearly free tools. For example, the principal Java IDEs are available as free open source, and even the one paid stand-out, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition, costs only $499 at full retail. While the "free" aspect has provided multiple choices for Java IDEs, it has eliminated the market for Java widgets. Java controls come primarily from free packages: Swing, JavaFX, or the SWT. Commercial vendors have not fared well in this space. In the '90s, the KL Group (later called Sitraka), which had made its name selling topflight widgets for Unix, was unable to gain traction in Java. In the '00s, Trolltech tried to enter the market with a Java wrapper (Jambi) for its widely admired Qt library with equally little success despite excellent products in both cases and established reputations in other communities.
While it can certainly be argued today that the failure in the Java space is due to the language's absence in client-side UIs, that was not the case when both these products initially came out. At that time, competition between Swing and SWT was closely followed by developers and the press alike. And the dream of a single UI codebase that could run on any platform was very much being pursued. (Ultimately, successfully, as can be seen by the ability of Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA to run on numerous platforms.) However, the expectation of free products essentially killed off the third-party market and made it such a barren place that no entrants have since been willing to enter there.
Normally, the open-source community would be a rich alternative solution for such widgets. But a low-activity Apache project, Pivot, is one of the very few ongoing efforts in the Java world. Curiously, in the .NET space, there are also few open-source alternatives to the commercial libraries. (The Mono project is the one conspicuous exception.) The widely held belief that open source will flourish where there is demand but few free resources is shown to be incorrect in the .NET universe. This is due, in part, to the dynamics of most large-scale open-source projects: They tend to be sponsored by a commercial vendor. (Novell, in the case of Mono.) And as yet, no vendor has seen benefit in developing free alternatives to the principal tools and libraries for .NET developers.
In sum, when looking at developer products from Microsoft either in their sky-high standalone prices or their more moderate MSDN equivalents, if the question arises regarding why they're so expensive, the answer is you're supporting an entire ecosystem.

Michael Jackson unusually close with his doctors, jury told
Pop superstar had close relationship with many of his medical providers
For Michael Jackson, a trip to the doctor's office sometimes wasn't just paying a visit to a health care provider. It was paying a visit to a trusted friend.
A jury has been hearing for weeks about the pop superstar's close relationship with many of his medical providers — spending Christmas with some doctors, inviting others to spend time at his Neverland Ranch.
His primary care doctor served as the best man at the singer's second wedding, to a woman who worked in his dermatologist's office and became a frequent companion on his medical visits.
Jackson's relationship with his final doctor, Conrad Murray, is important to the negligent hiring case, but in the process jurors are getting an inside look at celebrity health care — after-hours visits, house calls and false names on records and prescriptions — that are meant to preserve confidentiality but can present ethical challenges for doctors.
They have also heard a detailed portrait of medical history, including painful burns and the skin conditions vitiligo and discoid lupus that led Jackson to feel he was disfigured.
Other practitioners have recounted stories of telling Jackson they wouldn't comply with his requests for painkillers or the powerful anesthetic that would kill him in his bedroom in 2009.
The parade of testimony from Jackson's doctors is central to the defence case being mounted by AEG Live LLC, the company promoting Jackson's ill-fated comeback concerts, which is being sued by the singer's mother.
Katherine Jackson says the company hired Murray to help her son prepare for his shows. In the process, her attorneys say, AEG Live created a conflict of interest that compelled Murray to provide her son with the anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid in order to preserve his anticipated $150,000 a month payday.
AEG contends it is not liable for the superstar's death but that it was his own personal choices that led to his demise.
Stories the jurors have heard throughout the 18-week trial about Jackson and his doctors:
- Two of Jackson's doctors, Scott Saunders and William Van Valin II, went to Jackson's Neverland Ranch near Santa Barbara, according to testimony from Saunders. Saunders recounted how Jackson occasionally showed up at his home unannounced and sent him and his family Christmas presents one year. Saunders said Jackson would sometimes invite him out to Neverland and would ask him to stay longer so they could just talk.
- Jackson occasionally lived in the garage, converted into a guest room, of Dr. Alimorad Farshcian when the Miami physician was treating the singer from 2001 until 2003. Farshchian placed an implant in Jackson's abdomen to block the euphoric effects of opioid drugs so he would stop taking them. Farshcian said he traveled with Jackson and spent Christmas with him in 2002.
- Several witnesses who described Jackson's medical treatments said the singer required after-hours visits to avoid paparazzi scrutiny. His records were sometimes filed under the names Omar Arnold, Michael Jefferson or other aliases and prescriptions were also sometimes placed in false names to try to protect his privacy.
- Jackson's second wife, Debbie Rowe, worked for the singer's longtime dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein and would accompany the singer to many of his medical appointments throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Rowe said Jackson was intensely afraid of pain and required numerous procedures to treat his vitiligo and try to repair damage to his scalp after it was burned while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984. When Rowe and Jackson married in Australia in 1996, another of the singer's physicians, Dr. Allan Metzger, served as their best man.
- Rowe said Klein and a now-retired plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Hoefflin, competed with each other for who could give Jackson the best painkillers. Rowe said Jackson trusted his doctors. "Michael had a very low pain tolerance and his fear of pain was incredible," she said. "I think the doctors took advantage of him that way."
- Dental anesthesiologist Dr. Christine Quinn said in 1998 or 1999 Jackson summoned her to a Beverly Hills hotel and asked her to give him propofol to help him sleep. She said she refused.
- Dr. Gordon Sasaki, who tried to repair damage to Jackson's scalp in 2003, said he accepted the singer's invitation to go to Neverland Ranch after they met. Sasaki however refused to prescribe any more painkillers to Jackson after the singer requested Percocet three times in a short time span. Sasaki said he turned over Jackson's pain management to Klein.
- Dr. Stephen Gordon, a Las Vegas plastic surgeon, said Jackson requested that he give him a shot of the painkiller Demerol "for the road" after a procedure in 2003. Gordon refused and didn't see Jackson again for another four years, when he returned with Murray. Jackson acted as if he didn't know Gordon, the doctor said, and Murray took charge of the visit, driving Jackson to the office and paying for it when it was over. "There was nothing usual or customary about what he was doing," Gordon said of Murray.
Attorneys for Jackson's mother have acknowledged that Jackson struggled with painkillers throughout his life, but have said most of his prescriptions were tied to medical procedures. AEG Live's lawyers contend Jackson showed signs that he was doctor shopping, hid his addiction to painkillers and lied about his medical history.
A close relationship between a doctor and patients is not inherently wrong, said Arthur Caplan, the director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. He said it often occurs in small towns, and wealthy patients can sometimes afford to hire their own doctors. The problem occurs when the doctor's judgment is clouded and their treatment is affected.
"If you can't say no or stop, you probably are too far down the friendship highway," Caplan said.

Under Derived Values in Results, you can add a System Matrix node where you specify which of the computed system matrices to output and whether to output them using a sparse or full format.View Screenshot
Importing System Matrices using the Java API
Input of system matrices generated outside of the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation environment is made possible using a new Input Matrix subnode to a solver node. Specify which system matrices and vectors should use external data from the Java API. The saved Model Java-file contains program code for inputting the selected matrices and vectors.View Screenshot
Get Initial Value and Compute Selected Study Steps
Get Initial Value is available as an option on the Study level and for each study step. Use this to evaluate the solution and variables using the initial values. This makes it possible to plot and evaluate the solution and any solution-dependent variables using the initial values as the solution. It can also be used as a quick way to get access to the visualization and postprocessing tools of the Results node.View Screenshot
Run Your Models in the Cloud
You can now run COMSOL Multiphysics simulations in the cloud, through Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™ (Amazon EC2™). Cloud computing is used to access high-end virtual computers and clusters on a pay-per-use basis. Cloud computing is available in version 4.3a for any COMSOL Multiphysics user with a floating network license.
Running COMSOL Multiphysics in the cloud gives you access to three types of computations:
- Multicore Computing on one single fast virtual computer with large amounts of memory.
- Cluster Sweep for parallel parametric studies.
- Cluster Computing for large distributed memory simulations.
Cloud computing is made possible by new remote and cloud access tools which minimize the amount of data transferred when uploading or downloading model information to or from the cloud. A new dial-back utility connects to your on-premise license manager-- using your existing floating networks licenses. Cloud computing is available from the COMSOL Desktop GUI as well as from batch mode.View Screenshot
Tailored Mesh Settings for CFD
Version 4.3a introduces new automatic meshing tools tailored for CFD. Automatic corner refinement finds all of the reentrant corners in a user-selected group of boundaries and applies mesh refinement.
Trimming is now applied at sharp corners for boundary-layer mesh creation. This feature is integrated with the default geometric multigrid solver for CFD and is both robust and accurate for larger geometry models.
Interior boundaries are often used to represent very thin objects such as membranes or shells. Boundary-layer meshing is now also available for interior boundaries in such cases.
Mesh Selection Tools for Imported Mesh
Additional tools are available for mesh selections used to subdivide an imported mesh. A mesh which was not created with COMSOL's native mesh generator but imported from other software may not have the desired domain and boundary partitioning. COMSOL Multiphysics features a series of selection operations which allow grouping of existing mesh elements and make it easy to assign boundary conditions and material properties where desired.
A selection tool has been added which allows you to use the x, y, and z coordinates in a logical expressions such as (y<-40)&&(z>2.5) to partition an imported mesh into new domains or boundaries. The previously available coordinate-based Ball and Box selections now give visual feedback in the form of a wireframe plot representing the size and position of the Ball and Box, respectively.
Geometry Selection Tools
You can select all adjacent boundaries and edges in a geometry model with a continuous tangent by using the Explicit, Ball, Box, and Cylinder selection features. By just selecting a single face, the selection is propagated to all adjacent boundaries with a continuous tangent within a user-defined angular tolerance.
The new Cylinder selection makes it possible to use a coordinate-based cylinder for selecting objects in a geometry. This selection type is similar to the Box and Ball selection features and can simplify selection of geometric entities in suitable geometries.
Import of Contour Plots for use in Geometry Modeling
The Interpolation Curve feature can now read curve coordinates from file on the Sectionwise data format in addition to the spreadsheet data format. You can also specify the curves as vectors of x, y, and z coordinates. This makes it possible to export contour plots of a solution or mathematical expression in Sectionwise data format, which in turn allows them to be imported and reused as an interpolation curve in a geometry model. In this way, contour plots can be used to create curves in 2D, or extruded, revolved, or swept to surfaces in 3D.
Fast Parallel Computing
Version 4.3a offers more efficient parallel computing for both shared-memory/multicore and distributed systems.
For multicore computing, handling of constraint boundary conditions is greatly improved. This includes boundary conditions such as fixed temperature, electric potential, and displacement. It also speeds in computations for most physics. New constraint elimination algorithms are the primary reason for this increase in performance.
For distributed computing, the solvers have been optimized by the introduction of a very efficient sparse matrix reordering algorithm for direct solvers. In addition, communication for matrix-vector data has been optimized.View Screenshot
The Intel® Concurrency Checker used to benchmark a COMSOL Multiphysics simulation on an Intel multicore processor. Read more about this type of benchmark at the COMSOL Blog
Visualization and Animation News
A new transparent background option for images exported on the PNG format makes it easier to integrate COMSOL images into your documents and combine them with other graphics.
Placement and display of labels on logarithmic x- and y-axes have been improved. Legend positioning now also comes with a Middle Left and Middle Right option.
Animation default settings have been improved with better support for animating parametric solutions and the ability to specify the number of frames in the generated movie.
Parameter Optimization
Parameter optimization can now be applied to any COMSOL Multiphysics model thanks to the addition of three new gradient-free optimization methods: Nelder-Mead, Coordinate Search, and Monte Carlo. These gradient-free methods make it possible to optimize one or more geometric dimensions for a CAD model created directly in COMSOL Multiphysics or via the LiveLink™ products.
You can implement the new optimization methods from a new Optimization study type for general gradient-free optimization. Control parameters are not limited to geometric dimensions but can represent nearly any quantity in a model including parameters controlling the mesh.
Diffuse Reflection, General Reflection, and Pass Through Boundary Conditions
New boundary conditions are available for Diffuse and General Reflection. You can supply user-defined expressions for the particle velocity after collision with a wall.
A new Pass Through boundary condition can be used on interior boundaries in conjunction with a sticking probability or expression.View Screenshot
New Variables for Particle Release Time, Stop Time, and Status
In the Particle Tracing Module, new variables have been added for: particle release time, particle stop time, and particle status. This makes it easier to work with particle tracing in cases where automatic remeshing is used. To activate, set the Store Particle Status Data to On. The new variables make it easier to compute residence time.View Screenshot
New Version Support and Removal of Redundant Data
For CAD import, you can now select a check box to remove non-essential and redundant edge and vertex information when importing a geometry model. By default this option is not selected and all edges and vertices are kept.
For the file-based CAD import in the CAD Import Module and all LiveLinks for CAD products, the following updated file formats are now supported:
- Catia® V5 R 22
- Parasolid V 25
LiveLink™ for AutoCAD®
AutoCAD 2013 is now supported by LiveLink™ for AutoCAD®
LiveLink™ for Inventor®
Associativity is now maintained without writing information to the CAD file.
LiveLink™ for Pro/ENGINEER®
Parameters and user-defined parameters are now transferred together with their units to COMSOL.
LiveLink™ for Creo™ Parametric
Creo Parametric 2.0 is now supported. Parameters and user-defined parameters are now transferred together with their units to COMSOL.
LiveLink™ for MATLAB®
You can now use the function mphinputmatrix to add a linear system matrix to a model. The function arguments are the model object, a MATLAB structure, and solver information. It supports the solver types Stationary, Eigenvalue, and Time.
TEAM 7 Benchmark Model and Wire Gauge for Multi-Turn Coils
The new benchmark example Multi-Turn Coil Above an Asymmetric Conductor Plate solves the Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Methods (TEAM) problem 7. The original TEAM name of this benchmark is "Asymmetrical Conductor with a Hole". The objective is to calculate the eddy currents and magnetic fields produced when an aluminum conductor is placed asymmetrically above a multi-turn coil carrying an AC current. The simulation results at specified positions in space agree with measured data from given literature references.
For the Multi-Turn Coil Domain feature, a new set of wire gauge options are now available: Standard wire gauge, American wire gauge, From round wire diameter, and User defined.
New Tutorial and Benchmark Models
Three new tutorial models illustrate induced currents in an iron sphere at different frequencies: 60 Hz, 20 kHz, and 13 MHz. Depending on the frequency, different modeling approaches are applied. For the 13 MHz case, for instance, the skin depth is thin enough that only the surface of the iron sphere needs to be considered.
In a new tutorial, a sphere of relative permeability greater than unity is exposed to a spatially uniform, static, background magnetic field. The field strength inside the sphere is computed and benchmarked against an analytic solution.
Periodic Ports
A new port boundary condition for modeling of periodic structures is available for the 2D Electromagnetic Waves user interfaces. Periodic ports make it easier to model excitation of structures with Floquet periodicity and include automatic setup of diffraction orders.
The Plasmonic Wire Grating tutorial has been updated and now utilizes the new periodic ports. In this example, a plane wave is incident on a wire grating on a dielectric substrate. Coefficients for refraction, specular reflection, and first-order diffraction are all computed as functions of the angle of incidence.
Mapped Dielectric Distribution of a Metamaterial Lens
This example demonstrates how to set up a spatially varying dielectric distribution, which could be engineered with a metamaterial. Here, a convex lens shape is defined via a known deformation of a rectangular domain. The dielectric distribution is defined on the undeformed, original rectangular domain and is mapped onto the deformed shape of the lens. Although the lens shape defined here is convex, the dielectric distribution causes the incident beam to diverge.
New 2D Formulations and Volume Currents
New in-plane formulations for the in-plane 2D and axisymmetric 2D Electromagnetic Wave formulations includes an out-of-plane wavenumber. The in-plane 2D formulation makes it easier to model 2D periodic gratings, periodic structures with out of plane incidence, and slab waveguides. The axisymmetric 2D formulation, (sometimes called 2.5D) is useful for disk antenna modeling, accurate scattering modeling, Gaussian laser beam models, and cavity model analysis for accelerators.
A volumetric external current density can now be used with Electromagnetic Waves by using a new volumetric current option for domains.View Screenshot
Helical and Spiral Slot Antennas Models
Two new tutorials are available in the Model Library of the RF Module: Two-Arm Helical Antenna and Spiral Slot Antenna. The RF Module now comes with 63 tutorials with model files and step-by-step PDF documentation.
The Two-Arm Helical Antenna tutorial shows an analysis of the normal and axial modes. The Spiral Slot Antenna tutorial shows how to build a spiral geometry using parametric curves, and computes S-parameters and far-field patterns.
Tunable Evanescent Mode Cavity Filter Using a Piezo Actuator
In this new tutorial model, an evanescent mode cavity filter is realized by adding a structure inside of the cavity. This structure changes the resonant frequency below that of the dominant mode of the unfilled cavity. A piezo actuator is used to control the size of a small air gap which provides the tunability of the resonant frequency. In addition to the RF Module, this model requires one of the following: the Acoustics Module, the MEMS Module, or the Structural Mechanics Module.
The MEMS Module comes with a new Thermoelasticity user interface for thermoelastic damping of resonant MEMS devices. When an elastic rod is stretched reversibly and adiabatically, thermodynamics will tell us that its temperature drops. The theory of thermoelasticity describes this phenomenon, together with the irreversible processes that occur in a vibrating rod. When a structure vibrates in a mode with both local compression and expansion there are always some losses associated with the irreversible heat conduction between the expanding areas that cool and the contracting areas that heat. These losses result in thermoelastic damping, which is covered by this new user interface.
Thin-Film Flow Updates
The Thin-Film Flow user interface and underlying functionality has been revised. The user interfaces have been improved with easier-to-understand terminology. A new Reynolds Equation boundary condition has been added for Solid Mechanics, and two new benchmark models are available.View Screenshot
Finite Volume Discretization
Finite volume discretization is now available for the DC Discharge and Capacitively Coupled Plasma user interfaces. This option is available in the Advanced Properties section and is available for certain boundary conditions. Boundary conditions not compatible with this option are Terminal, Distributed Capacitance, Thin Low Permettivity gap, and Floating potential.View Screenshot
Plasma Display Panel
A new model of a plasma display panel is based on the new finite volume discretization. The model illustrates the physics of a dielectric barrier discharge which leads to generation of light in pixels used for plasma display panels. The electric potential after 50 ns is shown in the picture.
Corona Discharge
A new 1D model of an atmospheric pressure corona discharge is based on the new finite volume discretization. The model simulates a negative corona discharge occurring in between two coaxially fashioned conductors. The negative electric potential is applied to the inner conductor and the exterior conductor is grounded. The modeled discharge is simulated in argon at atmospheric pressure.View Screenshot
Quick Options for Circuits
An updated Electric Potential feature is available for the DC Discharge and Capacitively Coupled Plasma user interfaces. There are quick choices for the most common external circuits: Series RC circuit, Ballast resistor, Blocking capacitor. The DC Glow Discharge example model showcases this new functionality.View Screenshot
Dielectric Barrier Discharge
A new Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuator model illustrates the new finite volume discretization scheme available in the Plasma Module. In this model, the exposed electrode is supplied with a transient voltage that, at its peak, causes the gas over the inserted electrode to ionize. The ionized gas, in the presence of the electric field produced by the electrode geometry, results in a body force vector that acts on the ambient (neutrally charged) gas. The body force created by the space charge distribution is the main mechanism used for active aerodynamic control. The visualizations show the electric potential at different snapshots in time.
Membrane Load Cases and Initial Stress-Strain Harmonic Perturbations
The harmonic perturbation mechanism available in the Structural Mechanics Module, as well as in the MEMS Module, allows you to perform eigenmode and frequency-domain analysis on prestressed structures. In all structural mechanics user interfaces, it is now possible to give a harmonic perturbation to initial stresses and strains.
Load and constraint groups, for controlling load cases, are now supported also by the Membrane user interface.View Screenshot
New Hyperelastic Material Models
The Nonlinear Structural Materials Module comes with three new hyperelastic material models: Yeoh and Varga for nearly incompressible nonlinear elastic materials such as rubber, and Blatz-Ko for highly compressible materials such as foam rubber.View Screenshot
Dilation Angle for Soil Plasticity
For soil plasticity, a new option to use dilatation angle in the plastic potential is available for the Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb plasticity models. Using this option, the dilatation angle replaces the angle of internal friction when defining the plastic potential.View Screenshot
New Acoustics Examples
A new example model of the Brüel & Kjær® 4134 condenser microphone compares the simulated sensitivity level to measurements performed on an actual microphone. The results are in good agreement. The membrane deformation, pressure, velocity, and electric field are also computed.
A time-dependent simulation of a probe tube microphone includes an external acoustic domain, the probe tube, and the cavity in front of the microphone diaphragm. The probe tube is modeled using the Pipe Acoustics, Transient user interface and is connected to two different pressure acoustics domains. The model requires both the Acoustics Module and the Pipe Flow Module.
For nonlinear acoustics, an example is now available that demonstrates how to model transient nonlinear propagation of finite-amplitude acoustic waves in fluids, solving a 1D Westervelt equation.
A new tutorial showcases a spherical piezoacoustic transducer. The device is poled along the radial direction of the sphere, demonstrating setting up of a local coordinate system.
An updated model demonstrates acoustics of a particulate-filter-like system. This example computes the acoustic transmission loss through a particulate-filter-like system using the Poroelastic Waves user interface.
Equivalent Fluid Model News
A new equivalent fluid model called Boundary layer approximation is available for pressure acoustics. Use it for modeling thermal and viscous losses at the boundaries of a duct as a bulk loss. You can choose between wide duct and narrow duct approximations.
For the Biot equivalent fluid models you can now enter the viscous characteristic length or viscous characteristic length parameter directly in the equivalent fluid models.View Screenshot
Thermoacoustics Heat Source
A domain heat source option is now available in the Thermoacoustics user interface. Adding a heat source to a domain is useful when modeling photoacoustics and acoustic heat exchangers.
New Default Solvers for CFD
A revised default solver mechanism for CFD is available for all fluid flow user interfaces. It comes with reduced memory requirements for large models and offers more automation and less manual tuning. The default geometric multigrid (GMG) solver is now automatically adjusted based on the number of mesh elements. The mesh-building is triggered when retrieving the default solvers. A direct solver is used for smaller models, where small is defined as 100,000 elements in 3D and 300,000 elements in 2D. Additional multigrid levels are automatically added for large models. The first additional level is added at 600,000 elements in 3D. A maximum of 4 levels including the finest mesh is available for first-order elements. Additional levels are added when used with higher-order elements. These improvements will be noticeable when using any of the fluid flow user interfaces of COMSOL Multiphysics and add-on modules.
More Robust and Easier-to-use Solver for Stationary CFD and Fluid-Structure Interaction
Pseudo-time stepping is a method used for robust convergence towards a steady-state solution for fluid flow. The new pseudo-time stepping method is available for all stationary flow physics user interfaces as well as for fluid-structure interaction.
It is faster for simple models and more roboust for large models. The CFL number is now controlled by a PID regulator instead of a built-in expression which makes the solver settings much easier to adjust. These improvements will be noticeable when using any of the fluid flow user interfaces of COMSOL Multiphysics and add-on modules.View Screenshot
Reacting Flow
A Reacting Flow user interface for Laminar and Turbulent Mass Transport is now available in the CFD Module. It is a combination of laminar or turbulent single-phase flow with transport of concentrated species and includes turbulent wall functions for mass transport, turbulent reaction modeling, and reaction kinetics. Turbulent reaction modeling is based on the so-called eddy dissipation concept (EDC). Two built-in algebraic models, Kays-Crawford and High-Schmidt number, automatically compute the Schmidt number.View Screenshot
One-Way Coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI)
Two new study types for FSI are available: Stationary, One-way Coupled and Time-dependent, One-way Coupled. These study types first solve for the fluid flow and then for the elastic solid. Other physics can be included in either or both study steps. Previously, two-way coupled FSI was available. Solving for One-way Coupled FSI can be more efficient when there is no coupling from the solid back on the fluid - that is, no momentum transfer from the structure "flexing back" on the fluid. The FSI options require one of the Structural Mechanics or MEMS Modules. More advanced fluid flow options are available with one of the CFD or the Heat Transfer Modules.View Screenshot
Moist Air and Condensation
The Heat Transfer Module now has an added Moist air fluid type for Heat Transfer in Fluids, Conjugate Heat Transfer, and Non-Isothermal Flow. This new option includes thermodynamic properties of unsaturated humid air and adds dedicated postprocessing variables for verifying if the saturation limit has been reached and there is risk of condensation. A typical application would be to avoid water formation in a flow channel for preventing corrosion.View Screenshot
Load Cases for Heat Transfer
Load cases for heat transfer are now available using the same load and constraint group concept as previously available for structural mechanics. Load groups are used for defining sets of heat sources and heat fluxes. Constraint groups are used for fixed temperature conditions. Load cases with load and constraint groups are available for all heat transfer user interfaces.View Screenshot
New Benchmark Examples
A new benchmark example computes the radial pressure distribution and flow rate through a rotating Lab-on-a-Chip (LOAC) platform. The flow through the device is a result of centrifugal and Coriolis forces. The results compare well with the referenced publication. Centrifugal and Coriolis forces are easily added as user-defined volume forces by typing expressions in terms of density, angular velocity, fluid velocity, and radial distance.
A second benchmark example of a split and recombine mixer channel shows a tracer fluid that is introduced and mixed by multi-lamination. Diffusion is removed from the model using an extremely low diffusion coefficient so that any numerical diffusion can be studied in the lamination interfaces. The results compare well with the referenced publication in both the lamination patterns and total pressure drop across the mixer.
SCCM Inflow, Internal Constraints, and Y-Junctions
The inflow condition for Pipe Flow now has a SCCM (standard cubic centimeter per minute) option. This makes it possible to specify a normal-volume based flow.
Internal temperature and pressure constraints can now be set. This is needed for circulating flow and other configurations.
The previously available T-junction option now also supports Y-junctions.
Reacting Flow and User-defined Reaction and Species Settings
The Chemical Reaction Engineering Module includes a new laminar Reacting Flow user interface. It is a combination single-phase flow with transport of concentrated species and offers a reaction feature and pseudo-time stepping for both the species and the momentum equations. The CFD Module offers an extended turbulent version of the Reacting Flow user interface.
Several input fields in the Reaction and Species nodes in the Reaction Engineering user interface have been equipped with a new Automatic/User Defined option. In addition, the User Defined option comes equipped with a Reset to Default button in order to generate the default automatically available expression, which can then be manually edited.View Screenshot
Capacity Fade in a Lithium-Ion Battery and Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) Layer
The Capacity Fade in a Lithium-Ion Battery tutorial has been updated with an SEI layer computation. This 1D model demonstrates how to use the Events interface to simulate battery capacity loss during cycling. The battery is switched between constant voltage and constant current operation, both during charge and discharge. Cycleable lithium is lost and the resistance of the SEI layer increases in the negative electrode due to a parasitic lithium/solvent reduction reaction.
Average Solid Particle Concentration
For porous electrodes in the Lithium-Ion Battery user interface, a new liion.cs_average variable has been introduced. The variable represents the average solid particle concentration in the electrode particles. Similarly a variable batbe.cs_average is available for the Battery with Binary Electrolyte user interface.View Screenshot
Separator Domains
For the Tertiary Current Distribution, Nernst-Planck user interface, you can now add a Separator domain node to model electrolyte charge and mass transport in an electronically isolating porous matrix.View Screenshot
Film Resistance
For resistance modeling in electrochemistry due to passivation and growing oxide layers, a new Film Resistance modeling option is available. If a resistive film forms on the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte, this will result in additional potential losses. Film Resistance is introduced for all boundary conditions that model an interface between an electrolyte and an electrode.View Screenshot
Fountain Flow Effects on a Rotating Wafer
This new modeling example explores the convective flow effects in a cell with a rotating wafer. Electrolyte enters the cell from the bottom and flows towards the rotating wafer where copper is deposited. The laminar swirl-flow profile, the concentration of copper, the electrolyte potential, and the electric potential of the thin wafer are computed. The geometry is represented in two dimensions with axial symmetry. This model requires both the Electrodeposition Module and the CFD Module.
Film Resistance
For resistance modeling in electrochemistry due to passivation and growing oxide layers, a new Film Resistance modeling option is available. If a resistive film forms on the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte, this will result in additional potential losses. Film Resistance is introduced for all boundary conditions that model an interface between an electrolyte and an electrode.View Screenshot
Crevice Corrosion, Corrosion Protection of an Oil Platform, Galvanized Nail, and Diffuse Double Layer Examples
Five new tutorial models are available in the Corrosion Module:
A new model exemplifies the basic principles of crevice corrosion and how a time-dependent study can be used to simulate the electrode deformation.
A second example of crevice corrosion models corrosion of iron in a buffer solution of pH 4.8, formed by equal amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate. The model combines electrochemical dissolution of iron on the crevice walls together with heterogenous equilibrium reactions in the electrolyte.
A new corrosion protection tutorial shows primary current distribution of a corrosion protection system of an oil platform using sacrificial aluminum anodes.
A new 1D verification model of a diffuse double layer shows how to couple Poisson's equation for the potential to the Nernst-Planck equations for ion transport in order to model the diffuse double layers, without charge neutrality, in a cell with a binary (1:1) electrolyte.
A new example model of a galvanized nail shows how to first set up a galvanic corrosion cell to model a stationary secondary current distribution problem, and then how to expand the model by adding mass transfer to model a tertiary current distribution.
Film Resistance
For resistance modeling in electrochemistry due to passivation and growing oxide layers, a new Film Resistance modeling option is available. If a resistive film forms on the interface between an electrode and an electrolyte, this will result in additional potential losses. Film Resistance is introduced for all boundary conditions that model an interface between an electrolyte and an electrode.View Screenshot

JDK 8 Now Feature Complete
Mark Reinhold reports that JDK 8 is now feature complete as of build 94, available here. There are still a few milestones to go before JDK 8 is released as Java SE 8, but we're inching closer:
- Connecting the Dots: Key strategic opportunities in a post-COVID-19 world
- Developing and Maintaining Secure Applications
- 2013/06/13 M7 Feature Complete
- 2013/09/05 M8 Developer Preview
- 2014/01/23 M9 Final Release Candidate
- 2014/03/18 GA General Availability
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
In fact, it won't be until September of this year that we see the first developer preview that has passed a certain level of testing. The builds you download now are developer builds and are risky to use in terms of bugs, so be sure NOT to use them for production systems. However, they are good tools to use to get some exposure to the new features of JDK 8, which at this point revolves around Project Lambda. Here is a more complete list, if you're curious.
As for how I test Java developer builds, I create a virtual OS with VirtualBox (which is freely available here) and install the latest builds there to work with. This way, my mainstream Java developer environment isn't affected.
Happy coding!

Last year when I originally posted on my Dad's pizzelle cookies, I stumbled upon this pizzelle recipe at Maryann's delicious blog, Finding La Dolce Vita.
I was smitten with Maryann's pizzelle iron which had a unique pattern. I decided instantly to surprise my dad with one (after all, he is the official pizzelle maker in our family). Thinking she bought her's in Italy, I was shocked when she told me it was a Toastmaster pizzelle iron from Walmart! Unfortunately, Walmart no longer carried it, nor did any of the dozen other places I tried. Maryann said she would keep an eye out for me and let me know if she found one.
A few weeks later, a box arrived in my mail. It was Maryann's pizzelle iron. She said she knew that "it would be in good hands" with me. I couldn't have been more touched. Here is a woman who lives over 2,500 miles away, whom I never met, and who had sent me her beloved pizzelle iron.
I promised Maryann I wouldn't be posting on the pizzelle iron until it could be christened with my Dad. So when he came to visit in September, we (well, mostly he, as I was busy snapping pictures and eating cookies), made a batch of pizzelles with it. They were better than I ever remember. Grazie, Maryann. You are a special person.
For a truly splendid treat, make pizzelle ice cream sandwiches! My favorite is rich chocolate ice cream (shown above) or pistachio gelato. It's heaven I tell you, heaven.
(with special celebrity chef, my dad)
Pizzelles are always a big hit at parties, so I'm bringing some to Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen for her blog party. And since they're baked with licorice-scented anise seed, I'm sharing them with Anita of Dessert First, who has chosen spices for this month's SHF. Since I'm thankful for my friendship with Maryann and for being able to bake with my dad, I'm sending my pizzelles to Val of More Than Burnt Toast and Ivy of Kopiaste who would like to know what we're thankful for this November.

These are the very pure goji berries that are shade dried, organically cultivated wild plants. Tibetan Lycium Eleagnus (Tibetan Goji Berry) is the original source of this great energetic ancient Tibetica Lycium berry and these Tibetan Goji berries are the purest form of the Lycium berry and come from a compassionate culture that honors all life. These Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries™ have been grown in protected valleys in wild and cultivated areas.
You will know when you are eating true Authentic Tibetan Goji Berries because they are very sweet and delicious tasting.
Goji Berries are a true "super" raw food of the highest type. It takes approximately 3 kilos (6.6 lbs) of fresh berries to make 1/2 kilo (18 oz) of dryed. That's a lot of berries.
A serving would be 1 to 2 handfuls or 10 to 30 grams per day however more can be eaten depending on individual needs.
Try the Incan Berries (also Goldenberries or Cape Gooseberry) for a complimentary product.
RecipeFresh Goji Berry Juice
1/4 cup goji berries, (1 oz)
2 cups water
optional: 1/4 cup fresh blackberries, raspberries or blueberries
1. Soak berries in water for 4 hours or more, overnight is fine
2. Blend in blender until well blended, optionally you can add some fresh fruit as listed above or apple, mango and/or banana.
3. Share with a friend
Notes: The Tibetan Goji Berry is not to be confused with the Chinese Wolfberries becoming more and more available. The Tibetan Goji Berry comes in 18 oz (1/2 kilo) bags, keep this in mind when comparing to the 1 lb prices of other companies. The Chinese Wolfberry may be grown with pesticides in depleted soil, dyed red, sulfured and irradiated. The Chinese Wolfberry may be more expensive too.

1For the leader; according to Muth Labben.* A psalm of David.
2I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
3I will delight and rejoice in you;
I will sing hymns to your name, Most High.
4When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish before you.
5For you upheld my right and my cause,
seated on your throne, judging justly.
6You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked;
their name you blotted out for all time.a
7The enemies have been ruined forever;
you destroyed their cities;
their memory has perished.
8The LORD rules forever,
has set up his throne for judgment.
9It is he who judges the world with justice,b
who judges the peoples with fairness.
10The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.c
11Those who know your name trust in you;
you never forsake those who seek you, LORD.
12Sing hymns to the LORD enthroned on Zion;
proclaim his deeds among the nations!
13For the avenger of bloodshed remembers,
does not forget the cry of the afflicted.d
14Be gracious to me, LORD;
see how my foes afflict me!
You alone can raise me from the gates of death.e
15Then I will declare all your praises,
sing joyously of your salvation
in the gates of daughter Zion.*
16The nations fall into the pit they dig;
in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.
17*The LORD is revealed in making judgments:
by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped.f
Higgaion. Selah*
18To Sheol the wicked will depart,
all the nations that forget God.
19For the needy will never be forgotten,
nor will the hope of the afflicted ever fade.g
20Arise, LORD, let no mortal prevail;
let the nations be judged in your presence.
21Strike them with terror, LORD;
show the nations they are only human.
* [Psalms 9–10] Ps 9 and Ps 10 in the Hebrew text have been transmitted as separate poems but they actually form a single acrostic poem and are so transmitted in the Greek and Latin tradition. Each verse of the two Psalms begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet (though several letters have no corresponding stanza). The Psalm states loosely connected themes: the rescue of the helpless poor from their enemies, God's worldwide judgment and rule over the nations, the psalmist's own concern for rescue (Ps 9:14–15).
* [9:1] Muth Labben: probably the melodic accompaniment of the Psalm, now lost.
* [9:15] Daughter Zion: an ancient Near Eastern city could sometimes be personified as a woman or a queen, the spouse of the god of the city.
* [9:17] The LORD is revealed in making judgments: God has so made the universe that the wicked are punished by the very actions they perform. Selah: see note on Ps 3:3.
