...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
— Herb Sutter and Andrei
Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
The Boost type-traits library contains a set of very specific traits classes, each of which encapsulate a single trait from the C++ type system; for example, is a type a pointer or a reference type? Or does a type have a trivial constructor, or a const-qualifier?
The type-traits classes share a unified design: each class inherits from the type true_type if the type has the specified property and inherits from false_type otherwise.
The type-traits library also contains a set of classes that perform a specific
transformation on a type; for example, they can remove a top-level const or
volatile qualifier from a type. Each class that performs a transformation defines
a single typedef-member type
that is the result of the transformation.

October 18 marked the Irish American Writers and Artists' second annual Eugene O'Neill Lifetime Achievement Award Cocktail Reception, honoring actor Brian Dennehy. Dennehy won a Best Actor Tony in 2003 for his performance in O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, and has been nominated for six Emmys for performances in other O'Neill plays.
Author Mary Pat Kelly served as Master of Ceremonies at the reception, and IAW&A co-founder Peter Quinn delivered opening remarks. T.J. English, Conor McCourt and Joe Grifasi also shared congratulations.
Of his special relationship with O'Neill's work, Dennehy has said: "I think that my being Irish American, the grandson of a factory worker in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and my being raised in a real Irish-American climate in Brooklyn and Long Island and New York in the 1940s and '50s goes a long way towards explaining it."
Dennehy won a Tony Award and Golden Globe in 1999 for his performance as Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's classic Death of a Salesman. He has appeared in over one hundred feature films, dozens of dramatic TV series and many made-for-TV movies. His varied roles have included numerous true-life characters, including Clarence Darrow, Teamster boss Jackie Presser, basketball coach Bobby Knight and serial killer John Wayne Gacy, to name a few. One of the evening's highlights was a video montage of Dennehy's many roles onstage and onscreen.
Last year's honoree, William Kennedy, presented Dennehy with the award. He remarked, "I saw Brian interviewed on Charlie Rose, talking about his role in Death of a Salesman, and he said, 'When theater is done right it is the author speaking to us.' But I must add that we don't necessarily perceive the author's intention without translation by a great actor, who also translates what's not there, who reads between the author's lines, who intuits, who invents, who imposes his own personality, his own wisdom, his own wit wherever he sees the need. Brian said this himself: 'Great actors of Hamlet – they all play it differently, and they play it differently every night.' I believe that the talent for doing this comes from the actor's authentic sense of himself – knowing he's like nobody else. In some deep center of his being, he knows exactly who he is and who else he might be – which is where the greatness comes in. … We know that something excellent is happening here – a profundity of talent on display, or an unusual depth of understanding and expression of human behavior. Without any doubt there's a singular presence up there on stage, and we relish it, we marvel at it, we want to applaud. And we do applaud. And the actor we're reveling in, relishing, applauding – tonight it's that big fellow over there – Brian Dennehy."

GDX Gold Miners' Strong Q3 Results
Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015 Nov 20, 2015 - 05:55 PM GMTThe beleaguered gold-mining sector continues to be plagued by monumental universal bearishness. Nearly everyone assumes the gold miners are doomed, that they can't survive for long in a sub-$1200-gold environment. But this belief is totally wrong, a consequence of extreme fear's fog of war. The gold miners' underlying earnings fundamentals remain very strong, as evidenced by their recent Q3 results.
In all the stock markets, corporate profits ultimately drive stock prices. Because a stock simply represents a fractional stake in its underlying company's future earnings stream, all stock prices eventually revert to some reasonable multiple of those profits. These earnings are truly the only fundamental driver of stock prices. All deviations from righteous valuations based on profits are just the temporary products of herd sentiment.
The gold stocks are suffering such an extreme psychological anomaly today, drowning in mind-boggling depths of popular fear and despair. The leading HUI gold-stock index just slumped to a brutal new 13.3-year secular low this week! The apathy and hate for this sector is nothing short of astounding. Anyone masochistic enough to make a bullish contrarian case on gold stocks will be peppered with scathing ridicule.
But in the midst of any universal sentiment extreme, prudent investors and speculators must disconnect from the herd emotions to take a rational look at the underlying profits fundamentals. And there is zero doubt today that prevailing gold-stock prices are truly fundamentally absurd. The last time gold stocks were priced at these levels per the HUI ages ago in July 2002, the gold price was merely trading around $305.
Think about the wild incongruity of that. Profits drive stock prices, and profits in gold mining derive almost exclusively from the price of gold. This is because the mining costs for a particular deposit are essentially fixed in its mine-planning stages. So higher gold prices lead directly to higher profits, and this relationship is not linear. Gold miners naturally leverage gold's moves, which can drive huge gains for investors.
This is easy to illustrate. In this year's second quarter, the elite gold miners of the flagship GDX Gold Miners ETF reported average cash and all-in sustaining costs of $635 and $895 per ounce. The latter number can be rounded up to $900 for an industry average. Such costs mean if gold is trading around $1100, this industry earns $200 per ounce in profits. What happens when gold merely rallies 10% to $1210?
Since costs at individual gold mines are largely fixed regardless of the gold price, gold's gains translate directly into higher earnings. A $1210 selling price less $900 costs yields new profits of $310 per ounce, a whopping 55% gain on a 10% gold rally! This strong inherent leverage to gold's upside is the main reason investors buy gold stocks. And the riches brave contrarians have won in this sector have been vast.
Today's gold-stocks-to-zero herd groupthink has deluded everyone into forgetting the gold stocks were the best-performing sector in all the stock markets between November 2010 and September 2011. The HUI skyrocketed 1664% higher during those 10.8 years, radically trouncing the benchmark S&P 500's 14% loss over that same span. Buying gold stocks low when few others will can create life-changing wealth.
And gold stocks couldn't be any lower than today, priced as if gold was near $305 instead of reflecting the real prevailing price of $1070. Imagine the rush to buy stocks in any other sector if its stock prices were battered to such extreme lows that they implied its products were selling for around just 3/11ths of their actual selling price. The epic fundamental disconnect that exists in gold stocks today is utterly ridiculous.
The best way to fight irrational emotion to buy low so you can later sell high and multiply your capital is through research. The more hard information you have, the more you can root your psyche in reality and steel yourself from the howling winds of herd sentiment. The only way to understand today's actual real fundamentals of the gold-mining industry is to carefully study how these companies are performing.
With the gold miners' third-quarter results almost all reported, this week I decided to dig deep into these latest fundamental reads to sharpen my understanding of this sector's profitability as a whole. It's not easy wading through dozens of quarterly reports, but the strategic understanding gleaned makes such an effort well worth it. I found the gold miners continue to have costs so low their operations are very profitable.
That flagship GDX gold-stock ETF is the definitive gold-stock trading vehicle, and contains the best of the world's gold miners. As of this week, this ETF held 35 of this planet's elite "gold stocks". The quotes are because a handful of GDX's components are actually silver miners. But there's no better roster of the world's leading and dominant gold miners than those winning the honor of being included in this GDX ETF.
This week I ran through the latest quarterly results from all of them, and built a spreadsheet with a bunch of fundamental data from each. These tables summarize some of the most important information. They include each GDX component company's key cost data for Q3, their cash in the bank at the end of Q3, and their operating cash flows generated in Q3. If you are bearish on gold stocks, prepare to be amazed.
These tables fit in the top 34 of GDX's 35 components, 99.2% of its total weighting. And once again they just shatter the popular myth today that the gold miners are doomed at these low prevailing gold prices. This entire industry is operating at both cash and all-in sustaining costs far below current gold levels! It is vastly more profitable today than it was over 13 years ago the last time gold stocks traded at these prices.
Among the world's elite gold miners that reported cash costs in Q3, their average was way down at an incredibly-low $618 per ounce! That's an amazing revelation that obliterates the common notion today that gold miners are in trouble under $1200 gold. Even if gold somehow plunged all the way down to $650, an absurd apocalyptic extreme even the most vociferous bears never dream of, gold miners can survive.
Cash costs are how much it actually costs to produce each ounce of gold on an ongoing basis, the costs that have to be covered to pay the bills. They don't include things like exploration, building mines, and reclamation costs. Cash-cost levels are the ultimate acid test of gold-miner survivability. As long as gold remains above cash costs, miners can keep producing and maintain operations to await higher prices.
But the problem with cash costs is they don't reflect the true costs of mining gold. Cash costs were all the gold miners reported in the 1990s and 2000s, and they were misleading to investors without a deep knowledge of this industry's many idiosyncrasies. So back in early 2013 the World Gold Council, the gold miners' self-funded industry group, worked on a new framework for more representative cost reporting.
This resulted in the far-superior all-in-sustaining-cost metric introduced in June 2013. These include all the direct cash costs of mining gold, as well as many other costs. That includes the general corporate-level administrative expenses not included in cash costs like mine-level ones are, as well as all costs required to maintain and replenish existing production levels. This is essential since mines are always depleting.
So all-in sustaining costs also include the exploration, mine-development, and construction expenses necessary to maintain gold output. They also include the required remediation and reclamation costs incurred after mines are economically depleted. So there's no doubt that all-in sustaining costs are a much superior cost measure. So it's best to consider gold-mining profitability from them, not just cash costs.
In their just-reported Q3, the world's elite gold miners had average all-in sustaining costs of just $866 per ounce! That's incredible, way below the false perception of gold-mining cost levels fostered by today's suffocating herd bearishness. That means even at this week's brutal new 5.8-year secular gold low of $1069, this industry is still earning profits of $203 per ounce! That 19% profit margin is pretty darned impressive.
Contrary to popular assumptions, the gold miners are not only very profitable at today's low gold prices but would still earn plenty even at $950. These companies have worked very hard to reduce costs to cope with the current depressed gold prices, and have widely succeeded. The actual fundamentals of the gold-mining industry today conclusively prove that this sector has nothing to worry about above $900.
But while some gold miners are trading at cheap price-to-earnings ratios today, the majority aren't. If this industry is really earning $200+ per ounce at today's gold prices, why isn't that reflected in the gold miners' P/E ratios? The answer is simple. These low gold prices have forced most miners to write down the carrying value of their deposit and mine assets, resulting in large non-cash charges to accounting earnings.
When companies initially buy deposits and build mines, the costs incurred are put on their books as assets. But as gold prices drop, all deposits become less economical to mine. So the SEC's accounting rules require companies to write down these assets to reflect prevailing values. These asset-impairment charges are costs that flow through the income statement. They have temporarily overwhelmed real earnings.
But gold-driven writedowns are not that important or relevant over the long term. They are non-cash, so they don't represent current costs. They are something of an accounting fiction in the quarters in which they hit. And assets' carrying values are seldom righteous anyway, since these values aren't increased when gold prices rise. They can only be adjusted lower, not higher. And writedowns soon flush off of income statements.
Traditional trailing price-to-earnings ratios include the last four quarters' accounting earnings per share. So once the big writedowns pass beyond the latest year, accounting earnings again reflect underlying operating profitability. So as recent impairment charges roll out of the EPS calculations, the gold miners' headline P/E ratios will rapidly shift from nonexistent to reflecting anomalous fundamental undervaluation.
An alternate measure of gold-mining profitability that isn't skewed by impairment charges is operating cash flows. Q3's are listed above for these elite GDX companies. Not only were they all positive last quarter, but some were large relative to the companies' market capitalizations. As long as businesses can generate positive cash flows from operations, and make any debt payments, they can keep operating indefinitely.
These very strong operating cash flows have led to huge cash hoards for many of the elite gold miners, which are also noted above. In many cases the cash on hand at these gold miners is really large compared to their market caps. Strong cash positions mean the gold miners can weather a low-gold-price storm for quite some time even if gold would somehow miraculously plunge below their core cash costs.
The third-quarter results of the world's elite gold miners included in the flagship GDX gold-stock ETF are incredibly bullish. Contrary to groupthink bearish expectations that gold miners are teetering right on the edge of bankruptcy, they are thriving even at low prevailing gold prices! Their key all-in sustaining costs are far below current gold levels, so they are generating big operating cash flows to boost their large coffers.
And these miners' strong fundamental positions are improving. My last iteration of this research using Q2'15 results showed average cash and all-in-sustaining costs for the elite GDX gold miners of $635 and $895. In just the single quarter of Q3, barely any time to change the course of such capital-intensive operations as gold mining, these fell another 2.6% and 3.3% to $618 and $866. The gold miners are strengthening!
With gold stocks languishing near such fundamentally-absurd prices relative to the metal that drives their profits, their upside from here is utterly vast. As I discussed in an essay last week digging into the core fundamental relationship between gold stocks and gold prices, the gold stocks are highly likely to at least quadruple from current levels. Contrarian investors are chomping at the bit to return, waiting on a key signal.
And that is gold, which has been savaged by extreme selling by American futures speculators following late October's hawkish Fed surprise on December rate hikes. They've been dumping hyper-leveraged gold-futures contracts at extraordinary rates in recent weeks, both by liquidating existing long-side bets and adding new short-side ones. But the full sizes of these gold bets are finite, with speculators nearing limits.
Sooner or later, all the speculators brazen enough to sell gold into major secular lows will have done so. And that will lead to big gold-futures short covering, since those leveraged downside bets on gold have to be offset by buying long contracts to close them out. With speculators' gold-futures shorts very high again following that hawkish Fed surprise, another major short-covering rally in gold is imminent.
And naturally as gold rallies, gold miners' profits leverage to their metal will kick in with a vengeance. This industry's profits growth as gold climbs will dwarf the gains in gold. That's going to lead to sharply falling valuations as P/E ratios drop, attracting in legions of value investors. And considering the gold stocks are now ludicrously trading as if gold was near $300 rather than $1100, their upside from here is vast.
While contrarian investors and speculators are waiting for a decisive green light from gold to pour back into the radically-undervalued gold stocks, they fear the same thing futures speculators do. Everyone is worried Fed rate hikes will prove gold's nemesis, forcing it to keep spiraling lower indefinitely. The idea is higher yields on other assets will make zero-yielding gold less attractive, retarding investment demand.
Fortunately, history proves the exact opposite! Gold investment demand actually flourishes during Fed-rate-hike cycles because they are so damaging to overvalued stock and bond markets. Since 1971, the Fed has executed 11 rate-hike cycles. Gold actually rallied in the majority, 6 of those. And during those 6 Fed-rate-hike cycles where gold rallied, its average gain during the exact cycle spans was an amazing +61.0%!
The Fed's last rate-hike cycle ran from June 2004 to June 2006, where it hiked its federal-fund rate by a whopping 425 basis points through 17 consecutive hikes. Yet even though that more than quintupled the FFR, gold still soared 49.6% higher over that exact span! Fed rate hikes are no threat to gold with one important exception, when gold enters those rate-hike cycles trading near major secular highs.
In the other 5 Fed-rate-hike cycles since 1971 where gold fell, this metal was already high when the Fed started increasing rates. That certainly isn't the case today, with gold languishing near major secular lows. And gold's average loss during these rate-hike cycles where it entered high was just 13.9%, asymmetrically small compared to its rate-hike-cycle gains. Gold stocks have nothing to fear from rate hikes.
And today's already-excellent gold-stock earnings fundamentals based on their low costs and robust operating cash flows will see incredible growth as gold mean reverts far higher as investment demand inevitably returns. Gold's woes began in early 2013 with the radical distortions from the Fed's wildly-unprecedented open-ended third quantitative-easing campaign. Normalization will restore those conditions.
Between 2010 and 2012 before the Fed's stock-market levitation, the gold price averaged $1490 in those last normal years. In 2012 alone, it averaged $1669. Let's round these to $1500 and $1650 to get an idea of the gold-mining industry's profits growth as gold mean reverts to normal levels. At rounded all-in sustaining costs of $875, $1500 and $1650 gold would yield enormous profits of $625 and $775 per ounce.
These merely-average gold levels would generate staggering profits growth for this industry up around 215% and 290% for a gold bull on the order of just 40% to 55%! Such extreme earnings growth would fuel an enormous upleg in gold stocks even if they were reasonably valued today, but coming out of the prevalent fundamentally-absurd lows that upleg will have to be epic. This should greatly excite investors!
With the general stock markets very overvalued thanks to the Fed's levitation in recent years, there isn't much fundamental upside to be found. Yet gold stocks, because sentiment is so overwhelmingly and irrationally bearish against them, have vast potential. They can be played by going long the GDX gold-stock ETF of course, but that sector benchmark's gains will be dwarfed by those in the best of the elite miners.
After having studied and traded this contrarian sector for 16 years, we can help you find these smaller fundamentally-superior gold miners. Buying them low now when few others are willing is the only way to be able to sell them high later when few others can, really multiplying your wealth. We've been aggressively buying the best of the elite gold and silver stocks in recent months, as detailed in our acclaimed newsletters.
We've long published a weekly for speculators and monthly for investors, drawing on our decades of exceptional experience, knowledge, wisdom, and ongoing research to explain what's going on in the markets, why, and how to trade them with specific stocks. They offer a rare and exceedingly-valuable studied contrarian perspective on these central-bank-distorted markets. Subscribe today, and enjoy our 20%-off sale!
The bottom line is gold miners' underlying earnings fundamentals remain strong today even with the low prevailing gold prices. The all-in sustaining costs of this sector's elite miners are quite low, leading to profitable operations generating large cash flows filling corporate treasuries. This reality evident in the latest quarterly results is a stark contrast to perceptions that the gold miners' stocks are circling the drain.
Sooner or later all stock prices ultimately reflect their underlying corporate profits, and gold stocks are no exception. The extreme and wildly-irrational fear that has pummeled this sector to fundamentally-absurd price levels can't and won't last. And once that breaks as gold mean reverts higher, smart contrarians are going to flood back into this dirt-cheap sector and drive gold stocks radically higher over the coming years.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Pope Clement X
Born at Rome, 13 July, 1590; elected 29 April, 1670, and died at Rome, 22 July, 1676. Unable to secure the election of any of the prominent candidates, the cardinals finally, after a conclave of four months and twenty days, resorted to the old expedient of electing a cardinal of advanced years; they united upon Cardinal Altieri, an octogenarian, whose long life had been spent in the service of the Church, and whom Clement IX, on the eve of his death, had raised to the dignity of the purple. The reason a prelate of such transcendent merits received the cardinalate so late in life seems to have been that he had waived his claims to the elevation in favour of an older brother. He protested vigorously against this use of the papal robes as a funeral shroud, but at length was persuaded to accept, and out of gratitude to his benefactor, by ten years his junior, he assumed the name of Clement X. The Altieri belonged to the ancient Roman nobility, and since all but one of the male scions had chosen the ecclesiastical career, the pope, in order to save the name from extinction, adopted the Paoluzzi, one of whom he married to Laura Caterina Altieri, the sole heiress of the family.
During previous pontificates the new pope had held important offices and had been entrusted with delicate missions. Urban VIII gave him charge of the works designed to protect the territory of Ravenna from the unruly Po. Innocent X appointed him nuncio to Naples; and he is credited with no slight share in the re-establishment of peace after the stormy days of Masaniello. Under Alexander VII he was made secretary of the Congregation of Bishops and Regulars. Clement IX named him superintendent of the papal exchequer. On his accession to the papacy, he gave to his new kinsman, Cardinal Paoluzzi-Altieri, the uncle of Laura's husband, the office of cardinal nephew, and with advancing years gradually entrusted to him the management of affairs, to such an extent that the biting Romans said he had reserved to himself only the episcopal functions of benedicere et sanctificare, resigning in favour of the cardinal the administrative duties of regere et gubernare. Nevertheless, the Bullarium Romanum contains many evidences of his religious activity, among which may be mentioned the canonization of Sts. Cajetan, Philip Benitius, Francis Borgia, Louis Bertrand, and Rose of Lima; also the beatification of Pope Pius V, John of the Cross, and the Martyrs of Gorcum in Holland. He laboured to preserve the peace of Europe, menaced by the ambition of Louis XIV, and began with that imperious monarch the long struggle concerning the régale, or revenues of vacant dioceses and abbeys. He supported the Poles with strong financial aid in their hard struggle with their Turkish invaders. He decorated the bridge of Sant' Angelo with the ten statues of angels in Carrara marble still to be seen there. To Clement we owe the two beautiful fountains which adorn the Piazza of St. Peter's church near the tribune, where a monument has been erected to his memory.

BLAIR DNA Project |
DNA 103: Grouping Participants |
Introduction THE BLAIR SURNAME The BLAIR surname, unlike many others, has a fairly well established origin. Although there is some question as to who was the "First Blair", it is generally accepted that he was an heir of Jean Francois, a Norman, granted Barony of Blare by King William, between 1165 and 1200. There were two principal Blair families in Scotland; the Blairs of Blair in Ayrshire and the Blairs of Balthyock in Fife and Perthshire. The ancestor of the Blairs of Blair in Ayrshire was William de Blair, who was mentioned in a contract dated 1205. William is believed to be the son or grandson of Jean Francois. The ancestor of the Blairs of Balthyock was Alexander de Blair, who received a charter of lands about 1214. There are some who believe that Alexander is a direct descendant of Jean Francois, either a brother or nephew of William de Blair (Blairs of Blair in Ayrshire). Others believe that these families were not related. These may have been the "Original" Blairs but the Blair name was adopted by many others with no blood connection throughout history. Every Blair that adopted the name started a new line. In order to get a feel for how many Blair lines exist I did a study of the Blair Society for Genealogical Research. Since the resurrection of the BSGR almost 20 years ago, over 1,000 members have researched almost 430 Blair lines. A third of this membership connect to 18 of these lines. On the other end of the scale almost a third of the membership were "orphans", unable to connect their Blair line with any other member. Approximately 9% of the membership has traced their ancestors back to Scotland. Almost 20% have traced them back to Ireland. Approximately 2% of the ancestors came from Canada and England. The remaining members of the BSGR cannot trace their ancestors outside the United States. I assume a study of the Clan Blair Society might show similar results. What we have is a very large puzzle with a lot of pieces missing. Although more documentary evidence remains to be found, traditional genealogical research may never find all the connections between the various Blair family groups. In addition, there are undoubtedly links that have been made that are not correct. The availability of Y chromosome analysis now provides a new way to determine direct male to male lineage, and this is the basis of this project. This study may help answer these questions:
An analysis of the mutations in the Y-chromosome can also be used to estimate the "Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA)" in terms of number of generations since the separation occurred. If your BLAIR research has hit a "stone wall", DNA analysis could be the break through you have been looking for, to push your BLAIR genealogy research back generations, by finding connections to other BLAIR family Lines. BACKGROUND OF GENETIC GENEALOGY There are two types of DNA tests now available for genealogical testing: the Y-chromosome (Y-DNA) test and the mitochondrial (mtDNA) test. A direct female line can be traced by testing mitochondrial DNA. However, since we are presently interested in tracing surnames, which are usually passed from father to son, the testing of the Y-chromosome DNA is what we are interested in. For more information on DNA and Y-chromosome testing see DNA 101. THE PLAN The Blair DNA Project will perform the Y-DNA Test on men with the Blair surname (including all variant spellings). I have selected Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), one of the most prominent research firms in this field, for our "Y" chromosome DNA project. FTDNA is a Houston, TX based company founded strictly for performing genealogical DNA testing and analysis. They work closely with Dr. Michael Hammer of the University of Arizona. Dr. Hammer is another highly respected geneticist who is actively pursuing DNA surname research. Currently FTDNA offers the following three as initial Y-DNA tests. Y-DNA 37 marker test: $119 + p/h (recommended) You may choose either the 37-Marker, 111-Marker test, or the Big Y-700 test as an initial Y-DNA test. The 67-Marker test is only available as an upgrade from the 37 marker test, although the 111 Marker test is the preferred upgrade. If you want to upgrade from the 37-marker test to a 67-Marker test or 111-Marker test you can do this at a later date without having to resubmit your DNA, since it is stored by FTDNA and is available for additional tests. For more information on the 37-Marker and 67-Marker tests see tests see DNA 101. The Family Coordinator for the Blair DNA Project is:
John A. Blair Test results will be returned to the Family Coordinator as they are received by FTDNA. Each participant will also receive a certificate and report containing their personal test results. The staff of FTDNA or its testing lab at the University of Arizona will help you interpret the meaning of your test results or you can view DNA 101 for a layman's tutorial. TO PARTICIPATE All BLAIRs are encouraged to participate in the Blair DNA Project. Male BLAIRs may participate directly. Because females do not have the Y-chromosome they can only participate through a male BLAIR relative (father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin). Each male participant will provide a mouth swab sample to be analyzed by Family Tree DNA. This sampling technique is painless and only involves the use of a swab to collect a small amount of cells from the inside of a person's cheek. The participant administers the test in the privacy of his own home. Each participant must send an Application and a Pedigree Chart to the Family Coordinator. Both can be filled in and submitted from this site. The Pedigree Chart should go back as far as possible on your male surname as has been documented, and include as many birth and death dates and maiden names for the spouses as possible. It is not necessary to include dates for the living persons, only for the deceased. The Family Coordinator will submit the application to Family Tree DNA. Family Tree DNA will mail a "DNA test kit" directly to each participant. The Family Tree DNA test kit consists of two cheek scrapers and two collection tubes---designed for a single persons use. The kit also includes instructions for collecting your DNA sample and release form allowing for sharing of your group data results with other who exactly match. This release form is optional. For more information of FTDNA policy on confidentiality and releasing information see: Legal Issues and Release Form. Each participant will collect his sample and return the kit to Family Tree DNA, along with the payment, to Family Tree DNA. FTDNA will provide the necessary instructions with the kit. Payment can be made by check or credit card. CONFIDENTIALITY Only the person providing a DNA sample and the Family Coordinator will know what his results are (unless they decide they would like to share that information - see Sharing Results below). All samples and identifying information will be received by the Family Coordinator (John A. Blair) and will be assigned an identifying number. This ID number will be the only identifying information anyone else sees, so no one other than the coordinator will know who participates in the study or which result is from which person. The portion of the DNA tested gives a distinctive "signature" for a lineage rather than for an individual, so there is no risk of this data being of any use to anyone for personal identity. SHARING RESULTS The basic test results help answer the question:
With the addition of the oldest known ancestor, where they came from and when, we may also be able to answer the questions:
Unfortunately these results as presented DO NOT answer the question:
To answer this question you need to know who the participants are so you can collaborate with them. All participants are encouraged, but not required, to provide contact information so they and others can share information. After the information above is posted and participants have the opportunity to review their results compared to others, they will be asked to release contact information. They may agree to do so or decline. No contact information will be provided without a WRITTEN RELEASE FORM from the participant. WORD OF CAUTION There is always a possibility that you could get disappointing test results. Samples that vary by three or more markers from the main group may do so for a number of reasons. One possibility is that they represent distinct lines either older or younger than the currently observed most frequent line. Another is that there has been a "non-paternal event" at an unknown past time. There are several possible types of non-paternal event in addition to a pregnancy gained outside of a marriage. For example, a child may be adopted and given the BLAIR name; a man may take the BLAIR name when he marries a BLAIR daughter; a BLAIR man may marry a pregnant woman whose husband has died; a couple where the wife is the BLAIR may choose to give their children the BLAIR name for various reasons; clerical error in recording administrative data may assign a BLAIR name to the wrong person, and so on. It should be stressed that adoptions were quite common in every age (i.e.. parents died by disease or war and a relative took in the children and raised them with their name; or young daughters had a child out of wedlock and the parents raised it as their own). Some may not want to see a result indicating a "non-paternal event" but we are all legal BLAIRs and a small sample size could be misleading. One may get a DNA sequence which suggests a "non-paternal event" but they could be of the original blood BLAIR line. Let me explain. Twenty people are tested and 19 are very similar but the last is clearly different. It could turn out that the 19 descend from the same person 300 years ago and this person was an adopted BLAIR while the other is of the original blood line going back 800 years.
