With this issue of Perspectives we mark the beginning of the 40th volume of AHA's newsletter. Originally published in pamphlet format five times a year, the AHA Newsletter (its name was not changed until September of 1982) was instituted to report personal news of members, educational developments in the profession, job ads, and news of the AHA and other historical organizations. The entire first volume totaled 32 pages.
Some things about the Association's professional newsletter have changed little. Then as now, there was news of government funding to improve K-12 teaching, although in 1962 the U.S. Office of Education was offering a new program "to improve research, instruction, teacher education, and the dissemination of information in social studies," while the current U. S. Department of Education "Teaching American History" program specifically excludes social studies. In 1962 the AHA also announced receipt of a Ford Foundation grant to study bias in textbooks, while its Committee on Teaching announced the publication of six new pamphlets to be issued by the Service Center for Teachers of History.
The AHA's Committee on the Historian and the Federal Government met in 1962 to consider the publication of government documents and the conditions of work for government historians. A new AHA Task Force of Public History will be meeting for the first time in 2002. The American Council of Learned Societies announced publication of a new edition of the Directory of American Scholars in 1962; in 2002 it received the Waldo G. Leland Prize for its new American National Biography. The 1962 annual meeting in Chicago drew three thousand registrants and boasted a 21 per cent increase in the number of job listings for the "Professional Register" held there.
Twenty years later, when the AHA Newsletter became Perspectives, an editorial took note of its expanded coverage of Association activities as well as articles and columns on issues related to scholarship and the profession. Another column that year, a reprint from a Washington Post essay by Jonathan Yardley, bemoaned the focus of historians on specialization at the expense of writing for the more general reader. And so it goes.
Today's Perspectives helps a new generation of historians confront some old and some new issues. Published nine times a year and available electronically, Perspectives can now provide more timely information about professional issues and opportunities. And we report on demographic and economic issues with more frequency and sophistication. The focus on providing information about teaching at all levels continues as well, along with reports on new venues for scholarship and new research tools and opportunities. As the volume of submissions of articles has grown over recent years we have begun a transition from a system of contributing editors to a new editorial advisory board that will provide general guidance and policy advice. We thank all those who have worked on the Newsletter/Perspectives in the past and look forward to serving our members through this professional forum in the future.

'Pretty Little Liars' Spoilers: Who is 'A' After in Clips from the Season 5 Premiere? [VIDEOS]
The 'Pretty Little Liars' clips are coming fast and furious now, and some new ones for the Season 5 premiere reveal that 'A' is coming for some pivotal players.
So who are the victims that 'A' has set their sights on now?
Keep reading to find out!
Based on the newest clips (above and below) both Ali and Ezra are in danger. Or more danger than before. The only problem? The girls can't decide if it's more important to help Ali escape or to keep Ezra safe. And, unfortunately, it looks like Ali goes out on her own, only to be stalked by 'A' at her most vulnerable moment on the streets of New York.
Even more terrifying? The Australian promo for the premiere, which airs overseas on Friday the 13th. The Aussie promo video can be viewed below.

Asia's Millennials open up co-living market
The Millennial move towards communal living is opening up opportunities for real estate developers and investors in Asia's busiest cities.
Co-living, a term used to describe a living arrangement that is something more than shared space, is growing in Asia, especially in China and Hong Kong. Typically, a co-living facility will offer tenants small rooms but also shared facilities such as a TV room or a gym. There is also a social aspect; some facilities have a manager who will organise events. As well as convenience and community, co-living facilities also claim to offer cheaper rent than an individual apartment.
Hong Kong is seeing a growing number of co-living developments – unsurprisingly given its status as the world's most expensive housing market. Young workers face the prospect of living with their family until they can afford to buy a small flat; 'small' often means less than 200 square feet.
At present, some developments described as co-living are no more than upmarket dormitories for budget-conscious students, while others are just shared apartments with different branding.
However, Denis Ma, Head of Research at JLL Hong Kong, says: "Though current schemes in Hong Kong are built around affordable housing, there are some really interesting projects that will be opening soon where the communal space is quite significant and the operator has hired an activities officer to bring residents closer together."
Recent co-living developments include Gaw Capital's Campus Hong Kong in Tsuen Wan, which offers a gym and pool as well as common areas in a 12 storey building and SynBOX in Hung, M-Living in Wong Chuk Hang, which offers tiny (80-100 square foot rooms) with shared common areas, inclusive bills and cleaning facilities. Campus Hong Kong's extra facilities do not come cheaply: a private room costs HK$20,000 per month.
From the property investor's point of view, co-living offers an attractive opportunity to gain extra revenue from services and to be able to fit a larger number of rooms in a single building. Hotel owners have also been converting underperforming hotels to co-living facilities.
Ma calculates that an owner of residential building could boost net operating income yield by 400 basis points if it was converted to a co-living facility, while a hotel's conversion could boost the NOI yield by 300 basis points. Thus conversion to co-living could add substantially to a building's value.
In China, the co-living trend fits with Beijing's desire to build a residential rental market, which will boost labour mobility by allowing graduate workers to live in first tier cities such as Shanghai, where property costs have soared. Operators such as You+, 5Lmeet and Mofang Gongyu – which has received funding from Warburg Pincus – house thousands of tenants in hundreds of buildings.
Their business model is underpinned by two factors: firstly support from the Chinese government and secondly the opportunity to reposition older or underused buildings.
In Singapore, affordable public housing is available to a large portion of the population and perhaps due to this, there is only a small portion of rental housing or co-living establishments, says Regina Lim, Head of Capital Markets Research – Singapore at JLL. "One could argue the Singapore case study implies that co-living is born only in cities where housing is unaffordable."
Some Singaporean companies are testing the water: CapitaLand's serviced residence unit, The Ascott Limited, has created a new coliving brand 'lyf', which claims to be "designed and managed by millennials, for millennials." Five properties across China, Singapore and the Philippines are slated for opening from this year to 2021. lyf Funan Singapore will be part of CapitaLand's integrated development Funan, which also includes retail, office and coworking spaces
Apartment space is not cheap in Tokyo, but years of deflation have been good for renters and so far the city has seen the development of only a few co-living spaces. Roam, in Akasaka, offers tenants a 340 square foot room with a balcony. Shared spaces include a co-working space, multiple meeting rooms, a circus themed workout and Yoga room, and a shared commercial kitchen. Rooms can be leased for as little as a day and with a monthly cost of around US$3,000, Roam – which also has facilities in Miami, London and Bali – is closer to a serviced apartment than a space for long-term living.

Syria's civil war is complicated, but at least there's a consensus among American policymakers: There are no good options.
So let's pretend you're the president and you need to decide what action, if any, the U.S. should take. The possibilities are endless, and plenty of unintended consequences are sure to follow.
To make your decision manageable, we're presenting four basic options. We realize they are not mutually exclusive, but you have to focus on something. You can make your choice at the bottom of this story.
Please choose wisely:
Step Up Humanitarian Aid: Two million Syrians have now fled their homeland and more than 4 million are displaced internally, according to the United Nations. Combined, that's more than a quarter of the country's 23 million people. This is placing tremendous strain on neighboring states like Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
As president, you know Americans are tired of grinding, open-ended wars in the Middle East. You don't think Syria is a core American interest and you don't want to get sucked into the country in a major way. You oppose using American military force in general, and sending in U.S. ground troops in particular.
But Syrian civilians are suffering. The U.S. has been sending hundreds of millions of dollars annually to help; the United Nations says it needs billions.
Here's one dramatic example: The Zaatari Refugee Camp in the Jordanian desert, near the Syrian border, didn't exist until a year ago. Now it's home to more than 120,000 Syrians living in tents, making it one of the largest cities in Jordan.
Arm The Rebels: President Obama said in June that the U.S., which has been providing nonlethal aid to the rebels, would begin supplying arms to moderate rebel groups. However, the details have never been released and the arms have yet to start flowing.
Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican and a leading proponent of more robust action, said it was "shameful" that the weapons have not reached the rebels.
"We should have done it two years ago," McCain said Monday after he discussed Syria policy with Obama at the White House.
If and when the weapons do reach the rebels, they are expected to consist of rifles and bullets and other small-bore arms, and not heavier stuff like anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.
Some U.S. officials are wary of providing large quantities of heavy weapons to the rebels, arguing that the opposition is a mixed bag, ranging from secular fighters who favor a democratic Syria to Islamist extremists aligned with al-Qaida.
NPR's Tom Bowman reported that the CIA is already training small numbers of rebels in Jordan, and now there's talk of calling on the U.S. Army to expand those efforts. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently told Congress that building up the rebels could be a more promising option than U.S. military strikes.
Limited U.S. Strikes: This is the course Obama advocates on the grounds that the U.S. cannot let Syrian President Bashar Assad go unpunished for his alleged use of chemical weapons last month.
The U.S. action would likely consist of a couple days of cruise missile strikes launched from naval ships in the eastern Mediterranean. The most likely targets would be military aircraft and airports, military bases and perhaps military headquarters and some government buildings.
"Absent an effective United Nations, the only sheriff who can enforce this vital international law is the US, supported by a few close friends like France," former U.S. diplomat, Nicolas Burns, writes in GlobalPost. "If we don't insist on a zero tolerance standard, the chemical weapons genie will likely be out of the bottle forever."
However, critics of the U.S. plan claim it is unlikely to alter the course of a war that is currently a stalemate. And, they add, it could have the unintended effect of rallying Syrian public support for Assad.
A Sustained U.S. Attack: Support for this option appears quite limited, but there are some, like McCain, who are calling for robust military action with the goal of driving Assad from power.
"We have to pay attention to this region and we have to bring Bashar Assad down," McCain said.
U.S. firepower has been decisive in removing, or helping remove, several groups and leaders in the past decade, including the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003 and Moammar Gadhafi in Libya in 2011. Yet all of those countries remain unstable to this day.
The U.S. could neutralize Syria's air power advantage and put the Syrian military on the defensive, giving the rebels the opportunity to advance.
But given the extended wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama has been adamant that the U.S. will not engage in a lengthy fight in Syria and has emphasized that U.S. ground troops will not set foot there.
Yet long before the current debate, U.S. military leaders said it would take tens of thousands of U.S. troops in Syria to properly secure that country's extensive chemical weapons stockpile.
Multiple opinion polls show a solid majority of Americans oppose any military intervention. And aside from France and Turkey, the international community largely rejects military action. If you choose this course, you would be largely on your own.
Those are your options. You can choose here and feel free to add your comments as well.

Serials Solutions®, a ProQuest® business, today announced multiple new features and enhancements to its management solutions are now available. The new capabilities with 360 Resource Manager and 360 Counter focus on the ability to populate data into the resource management system more easily; improved workflows and communications; and reporting enhancements to help optimize decision making. Implementation of these services will generate immediate benefits – and accelerate the migration to a new web-scale management solution, including Intota™, which is currently in development.
"The collection of these new features and functionality is a result of user feedback, our deep understanding of ongoing challenges in eResource Management, and our commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions to the market," said Ashley Bass, senior product manager, Serials Solutions. "Data and effective management of data is paramount to a librarian's success in managing workflows and making decisions. These new capabilities will positively impact their ability to work more efficiently, save time and control costs."
Librarians understand the value of a centralized repository of data for workflow efficiencies, communications, reporting, analytics and decision management. However, populating the data into the system can be a challenge. The new Data Population Services breaks this barrier by leveraging the expertise of Serials Solutions professional support and training staff. The process enables librarians to begin quickly optimizing workflow and sharing information. With the new License Template Library, users can view and copy pre-populated license data for their resources, eliminating the need to manually find and enter the information on their own.
The ability to populate disparate types of data can be achieved through a variety of product features. These new features help libraries realize a return on investment of services from Serials Solutions – even faster. These services are standards-based (such as DLF-ERMI and COUNTER), ensuring the library can convert and organize its e-resource information into structured definitions. By using 360 Resource Manager and 360 Counter now, the library will garner benefits today, while preparing its e-resource data for the future. This means that the data can be easily migrated later into Intota, the new unified collection management system under development by Serials Solutions. The company is committed to advancing the capabilities of its management solutions to meet customer requirements today, and in the future.
To learn more about these enhancements and the new features in the portfolio of management solutions, register here to attend a webinar on June 13th.

Well, I'm writing this because I know there are millions of people out there with an acne problem that seems to not go away. Yes, if you're like me you have tried all of the popular products. But, what if I told you that in order to have clear skin you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars every month. Actually, you may not have to spend any money.
So, with all that said here is my simple 6 Steps To Clearer Skin (Yes, this is what I am doing to help my skin clear):
1. Drink lots of purified water. Look, many of us with acne problems continue to drinks all of these sodas that have a lot of acid, colors, etc. Soda can really mess up the face. Leave all sodas and other drinks on the market alone and stick to only purified water. Try these waters - Poland Springs, Volvic, Penta (expensive), Smart Water, or Dasani. Water does wonders to the body!
2. Drink lots of Green Tea (at least 1 to 2 times a day). Green Tea has many antioxidants that will help in decreasing your acne problems. Try purchasing the Celestial Seasonings Green Tea.
3. Eliminate any and all fried foods or greasy foods from your diet. Yes, I know many dermatologists will disagree with this. What I have found is that when I stopped eating fried or greasy foods my face automatically started clearing and improving to the point where I was receiving compliments almost everyday. Fried food carries too much grease that can cause big pimples to form in your face. Also many fast food places use old grease over and over again. Old or reused grease is one big block in your way if you're trying to get clear skin. Not Good!
4. Eat a lot of vegetables (raw organic baby spinach is wonderful) and fruits everyday. Yeah I know you heard this before, but some of you are still not doing it. Vegetables and fruits alone. Many vegetables and fruits have antioxidants and vitamins that can help in healing and clearing the skin.
5. Use pure vitamin E oil (use the Nature's Gate Brand) for your face. I am telling you, it will make your look good in about two to three months. Vitamin E oil has all the healing and antioxidant properties to help in clearing your skin. Apply to your face every night before going to bed.
6. Eliminate all stress. I know for some, stress can result in many breakouts on the face. Some individuals are not good at dealing with stress. You know what, let the stress go!
Enjoy these steps and take your time. Give yourself 3 to 6 months to see actual improvements in your skin. For these steps to work properly, please add each step to your daily routine. Each step must be performed on a daily basis. Consult your local dermatologist if you have any worries.

Now scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and elsewhere have identified regions on the farside of the Moon, called the lunar highlands, that may have been so heavily bombarded — particularly by small asteroids — that the impacts completely shattered the upper crust, leaving these regions essentially as fractured and porous as they could be. The scientists found that further impacts to these highly porous regions may have then had the opposite effect, sealing up cracks and decreasing porosity.
The researchers observed this effect in the upper layer of the crust — a layer that scientists refer to as the mega-regolith. This layer is dominated by relatively small craters, measuring 20 miles (30 kilometers) or less in diameter. In contrast, it appears that deeper layers of crust that are affected by larger craters are not quite as battered and are less fractured and porous.
Jason Soderblom from MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, said the evolution of the Moon's porosity can give scientists clues to some of the earliest life-supporting processes taking place in the solar system.
"The whole process of generating pore space within planetary crusts is critically important in understanding how water gets into the subsurface," Soderblom said. "On Earth, we believe that life may have evolved somewhat in the subsurface, and this is a primary mechanism to create subsurface pockets and void spaces and really drives a lot of the rates at which these processes happen. The Moon is a really ideal place to study this."
Changing porosity
The team used data obtained by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) — twin spacecraft that orbited the Moon throughout 2012, each measuring the push and pull of the other as an indicator of the Moon's gravity.
With the GRAIL data, researchers mapped the gravity field in and around more than 1,200 craters on the farside of the Moon. This region, the lunar highlands, makes up the Moon's most ancient, heavily cratered terrain.
They then carried out an analysis called a Bouger correction to subtract the gravitational effect of mountains, valleys, and other topology from the total gravity field. What's left is the gravity field beneath the surface within the Moon's crust.
"There's an assumption we do have to make, which is that there's no changes in the material itself, and that all of the bumps we're seeing [in the gravity field] are from changes in the porosity and the amount of air between the rock," Soderblom said.
Soderblom calculated the gravity signatures in and around 1,200 craters on the farside of the Moon and compared the gravity within each crater with the gravity of the surrounding terrain to determine whether an impact increased or decreased the local porosity.
Origin story
For craters smaller than 20 miles (30km) in diameter, he found impacts both increased and decreased porosity in the upper layer of the Moon's crust.
"For the smallest craters that we're looking at, we think we're starting to see where the Moon has gone through so much fracturing that it gets to a point where the porosity of the crust just stays at some constant level," Soderblom said. "You can keep impacting it, and you'll hit regions where you'll increase porosity here and decrease it there, but on average it stays constant."
The researchers found that larger craters, which excavated much deeper into the Moon's crust, only increased porosity in the underlying crust — an indication that these deeper layers have not reached a steady state in porosity, and are not as fractured as the mega-regolith.
Soderblom said the gravity signatures of the larger craters, in particular, may provide insight into just how many impacts the Moon and other terrestrial bodies sustained during the Late Heavy Bombardment.
"For the smaller craters, it's like if you're filling a bucket. Eventually your bucket gets full, but if you keep pouring cups of water into the bucket, you can't tell how many cups of water beyond full you've gone," Soderblom said. "Looking at the larger craters at the subsurface might give us insight, because that 'bucket' isn't full yet."
Ultimately, tracing the Moon's changing porosity may help scientists track the trajectory of the Moon's impactors 4 billion years ago.
"What we really hope to do is to figure out the number of impacts in the range of 100 kilometers [60 miles] in diameter, and from that, we can extrapolate to the smaller craters, assuming different populations of impactors, and those different assumptions will tell us where the impactors came from," Soderblom said. "This will help to understand the origin of the Late Heavy Bombardment, and whether it was disrupted material from the asteroid belt or if it was further out."

PHILIPPINES – Google Philippines launches today its year-long social media campaign called #LovePhilippines in time for National Heroes Day to inspire Filipinos to discover more about the country and our culture and fuel their love for the Philippines.
Google Philippines will post #LovePhilippines content on their social media channels to put a spotlight on the heritage of the Filipinos. The posts will include, but are not limited to, moments of triumph in history, interesting stories behind acclaimed Filipinos and their achievements, trivia on uniquely Filipino norms, and a quick tour of hidden gems in the country using different Google products like Search, Street View, YouTube, and materials from Google Cultural Institute.
The campaign kicks off with a post featuring a unique Pinoy dessert that was Jose Rizal's favorite, minatamis na santol. Apart from learning something new about our national hero, Filipinos will also get to prepare the treat by watching a YouTube video tutorial.
Inline image 1
The campaign aims to encourage Filipinos to share with pride the positive things about our country on social media and introduce the wonderful aspects of the Philippines and its people to non-Filipinos so they can appreciate the culture more.
As part of Google's commitment to equip Filipinos with information that is relevant to their lives, Google put together the campaign to show netizens that there are easily accessible materials online that they can use to boost the morale of fellow Filipinos and inspire others to take pride of the many remarkable characteristics of the Philippines.
"We hear things said about the Philippines or the Filipinos, but there are plenty of beautiful facts about us that are easily searchable online. We want to bring out this information so that people will be inspired to show the world that the Philippines is a fast developing country with a rich history and colorful culture. Filipinos are innately inspiring, and we look forward to spreading more love for the Philippines in the days to come," said Gail Tan, Google Philippines Head of Communications and Public Affairs.

Well, I've been told writing stuff down and explaining stuff makes things easier to remember. So the point of this blog post is so I remember most of the stuff in it.
So I was on the phone with an architect and he mentioned the numerous yellow boxes around the text in my newly created PDF. Now I know from experience they don't have any negative downsides and when printed again the yellow boxes go away. But I realized I didn't have a good reason to explain why those yellow boxes are there. So I decided to find out the reason why.
Well it turns out people wanted searchable text in PDFs. The main reason AutoCAD to PDFs are not searchable are due to a design decision from a long time ago about how to create fancy text in AutoCAD using SHX fonts. The fonts aren't actual fonts, but a representation of fonts using stuff. So to make things searchable Autodesk could have removed support for SHX files or come up with another solution. The solution Autodesk came up with is to add comments to all of the SHX text as the actual text. This way the PDF is searchable through the comments and the text shows up as it has been historically.
So if you want searchable text without the yellow boxes then you'll want to use True Type Fonts since PDFs can render them as long as the font is loaded into the machine. So if you don't care about the searchable text you can turn off the feature by setting the system variable EPDFSHX to 0. Not this is only available on AutoCAD 2016 Service Pack 1 and above. In 2017 a new system vairable PDFSHX was added to AutoCAD.

Marine energy uses the movement of water to generate electricity from tides, waves or ocean currents. Australia's long, surf-swept coastline is a massive potential source of marine energy.
Wave energy
Waves are created by wind passing over the surface of the ocean. Wave power plants can harvest the energy in the up and down motion of waves and convert it into electricity.
Wave energy is strongest where there are trade winds and ocean swells. In Australia, our wave energy resources are greatest along the southern coastline.
Tidal energy
Tides cause movement in ocean waters, and constrained topology near coastlines can accelerate this movement. Tidal energy generates electricity using the regular local flows of the tidal cycle.
The Kimberley and Pilbara coasts of northern Western Australia see the largest tides in Australia. Other potential sources of tide power are the Torres Strait off the coast of Darwin, Broad Sound in Queensland and Bass Strait in Tasmania.
Ocean thermal energy
Ocean thermal uses temperature variations in the ocean to generate electricity.
As sea water becomes colder with depth, the temperature difference between water near the surface and water at a depth of 1000 m can be up to 20°C in tropical regions. Ocean thermal can extract energy from these regions using a heat exchange process.
The ocean's energy can be harnessed using a variety of technologies and methods. Generally, floating buoys, platforms or submerged devices are placed in the water and use hydraulic systems coupled with an electrical generator.
The Australian Wave Energy Atlas, an initiative of CSIRO, delivered a searchable, free and publicly available online web atlas of Australia's national wave energy resource and marine management uses in 2018. It also provided best practice guidelines on physical impact assessments for wave energy developments in Australia's marine domain.
Similarly, Tidal Energy in Australia, a joint research project of CSIRO, the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania, the University of Queensland and industry partners will develop a hydrodynamic tidal model to map the scale and distribution of the nation's tidal energy resources to the nearest 500m.
In other marine developments, Sydney company Wave Swell Energy has created a prototype to harness the power of waves, effectively acting as an artificial blowhole. The company will build a 200 kW large-scale unit on the seabed near the coast of King Island that will feed into Hydro Tasmania's grid, and at peak times will provide up to half the island's power. The project is expected to be operational by June 2020.

Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle welcomes decision to investigate human rights violations and democratic deficits in Belarus
Foreign Minister Westerwelle spoke on the phone this afternoon to his Lithuanian counterpart, Audronius Ažubalis, who is currently also OSCE Chairman-in-Office. They discussed today's invocation of the "Moscow Mechanism" by 14 OSCE states.
An independent fact-finding mission by international experts is to be established under the Moscow Mechanism to investigate threats to human rights, democracy and the rule of law following the Belarusian presidential elections of 19 December 2010. Germany and 13 other OSCE participating states today called on Belarus to permit the fact-finding mission to enter and travel freely around the country.
Foreign Minister Westerwelle had been quick to advocate recourse to the Moscow Mechanism. He issued the following statement in Berlin today:
"The OSCE is a pan-European community of shared values and as such will not tolerate the repressive course adopted by the Belarusian President. The protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms remains an important matter. I expect the Belarusian leadership to let the experts on this fact-finding mission do their work."
All OSCE states – including Belarus – reaffirmed the OSCE principles at the summit in Astana on 1-2 December 2010. Among other things, member states are accountable to each other for the protection of human rights. Germany and its EU partners have protested repeatedly against the closure of the OSCE Office in Minsk.

When deciding on baby names for boys, often it is best to have a variety of suggestions and know the current trends. In 2014, mythological names, Spanish, unconventional spellings, Biblical references and 1940's show business names are all on trend. When I was pregnant I had a ton of fun flipping through catalogues and newspapers to get ideas as well.
Baby Name Resources Online
Sometimes we get stuck with very common names. If you want something posh, stylish and fitting for your baby boy to be, you should take advantage of online baby name finders. Here you can find thousands of resources about the nicest baby boy names. We have unique names here too. You can set your search per syllable, origins, the meanings or the popular name settings. This will help you narrow down the category in which you which you want to work with for naming your baby. Some favourites include Nameberry and Baby Name Wizard.
Top Names for Boys
The top 5 traditional names for boys are Jacob, Ethan, Alexander, Michael and Daniel. There are hundreds of classic names that are being given to newborn baby boys. You might want to survey names of kids on your neighborhood if you want to get a really unique name for your child. It's also helpful to check trends for your country, state or province. Google vital statistics and baby names and the most recent stats will pop up.
Baby Names and Meanings

One of the nice features of the Kindle eBook service is they way they copy-edit some of their better-selling books. This can be a particularly important service for print books that have been scanned to make eBooks. For instance, Amazon recently wrote about my Kindle book, An Introduction to General Systems Thinking:
Typo issues exist that may have been caused by an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) problem. Few examples are given below:
loc 1561 - "T call them" should be " I call them".
loc 2946 - "But 1 still can't" should be "But I still can't".
loc 3351 - "Shasta the liger" should be "Shasta the tiger".
Please look for the same kind of errors throughout the book.
The first two instances are common OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors: "T" for "I" and "1" (the numeral) for "I" (the capital letter).
The third example is a not quite so common OCR error, "l" (the letter) for "t". And, in this case, it's not an error at all.
The sentence in question was:
We do not often have our excessively sharp view of the world challenged by phenomena like Shasta the liger at the Salt Lake City Zoo, whose father was an African lion and whose mother was a Bengal tiger.
Still, the sentence contains a more subtle error: the failure of the author (me) to account for the mental state of the typical reader, for whom the term "liger" may be unfamiliar. (Even though it is found in at least 16 on-line dictionaries.)
I corrected this much more subtle error by redrafting the questionable sentence as:
We do not often have our excessively sharp view of the world challenged by phenomena like Shasta the "liger" at the Salt Lake City Zoo, whose father was an African lion and whose mother was a Bengal tiger.
As I dealt with this situation, I kept sighing and thinking, "English will never be entirely automated."
And then I took a deep breath and thought, "I suppose I prefer it that way."
How about you? Would you like English to be entirely clear and logical?

For Mike Caligiuri and his fianceé, buying a house together inspired them to also share a credit card.
"We were going to be paying the same mortgage, and we had a lot of joint expenses. So just for administrative purposes, it made sense," says Caligiuri, a certified financial planner and founder of Ohio-based financial planning firm Caligiuri Financial.
While that sounds like it's more about logistics than romance, he does acknowledge that love also plays a role: "You want to show the other partner that you trust him or her, and one way to do that is through joint finances," he says.
While many card issuers don't allow joint accounts or co-signers on credit cards, it is usually relatively easy to add someone as an authorized user, which is what Caligiuri and his fianceé did. (She added him to her existing card.)
If you're thinking of sharing a credit card with a loved one, addressing certain hot topics in advance — such as spending limits, who's in charge of paying the bill and what the rewards strategy is, for starters — can help prevent disagreements later.
Here are five conversations to have before sharing a credit card with your partner:
1. What's your credit history?
If you have credit card debt or have struggled with it in the past, it's important to let your partner know before you start sharing a credit card so you can avoid surprises later, suggests AnnaMarie Mock, a CFP based in Wayne, New Jersey. "It's vital that both partners understand the gravity and cost of credit card debt because it can evolve into a large financial burden," she says.
That conversation isn't always easy. According to a recent NerdWallet survey , about 1 in 5 Americans have lied to a significant other about having credit card debt or about the amount of debt. Still, more than 2 in 5 believe it's important for a couple to discuss their credit scores before moving in to together, and the vast majority of those who combine finances with their significant other — 86% — say all married couples should combine at least some of their finances.
2. Who is going to pay the bill?
If one partner is the primary cardholder and the other is the authorized user, then ultimately the primary cardholder is responsible for paying the bill. Paying it off in full and on time each month means you can avoid paying interest and late fees. If you are opening a new credit card together, you can decide which person will take on that role.
Caligiuri and his fianceé, for example, decided she would continue to be responsible for paying the card off each month. (She tells Caligiuri how much to transfer into their joint checking account before making that payment.)
3. What type of spending needs to be discussed in advance?
While everyday expenses like coffee or groceries probably don't require a detailed discussion, Mock suggests deciding what level of spending does.
One person probably shouldn't splurge on a $500 airline ticket without first checking with the other person, for example. Large purchases could strain the card's credit limit or make it hard to pay off the bill in full at the end of the month, which could trigger interest charges.
4. How will problems be addressed?
If you rack up a bigger monthly bill than expected, or you get hit with a late fee or two, it's a good idea to have a communication plan in place, says Taylor Venanzi, a CFP and owner of Philadelphia-based firm Activate Wealth.
He suggests setting up regular meetings once a month to review the card, spending habits and savings goals.
5. How will you share rewards?
- Credit card rewards can be part of an overall strategy to help fund vacations, and couples can accrue points more quickly if they share cards, says Eric Simonson, certified financial planner and owner of Minneapolis-based firm Abundo Wealth. If travel isn't in your plans, you can also use rewards to earn cash back or points to go toward shopping or gift cards, among other options.
"Our clients love to travel, and a huge part of that is helping them leverage credit card rewards," he says. Some cards, he points out, even give you bonus points if you add an authorized user. In such a scenario, you're essentially getting paid to share a credit credit card .

When you sit down to eat, pray. When you eat bread, do so thanking Him for being so generous to you. If you drink wine, be mindful of Him who has given it to you for your pleasure and as a relief in sickness. When you dress, thank Him for His kindness in providing you with clothes. When you look at the sky and the beauty of the stars, throw yourself at God's feet and adore Him who in His wisdom has arranged things in this way. Similarly, when the sun goes down and when it rises, when you are asleep or awake, give thanks to God, who created and arranged all things for your benefit, to have you know, love and praise their Creator.

Scientists have managed to reprogram non-neuronal pericytes found in the human brain directly into action potential-firing immature neurons, using just two transcription factors. The achievement, carried out in cultures of human brain tissue in vitro, could feasibly pave the way to the development of new regenerative treatments for traumatic brain injury or neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, claim researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, who headed the studies.
Prompting non-neuronal cells to convert into neurons isn't a new concept, Benedikt Berninger, Ph.D., and colleagues point out. Prior studies have demonstrated that rodent and human fibroblasts can be induced to convert into neurons by the forced expression of three or four transcription factors, and postnatal astroglia from the mouse cerebral cortex can be reprogrammed directly into functional neuronal cells in vitro by the forced expression of just one transcription factor.
However, the investigators stress, one of the major challenges to translating neuronal reprogramming into clinical therapy is getting somatic cells residing in the brain itself to convert directly into neurons. To attempt this in an in vitro setting, the researchers first needed a population of cells, so they generated adherent cell cultures from surgically removed, nonmalignant human brain samples. Initial analyses showed that the majority of the cells supported in the cultures expressed platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFRβ), indicating that they were pericytes, a type of brain cell involved in establishing and maintaining the blood-brain barrier and regulating local blood flow.
When the team transduced the cultured cells with retroviral vectors carrying Sox2 and Mash1, they found that those cells that co-expressed both the transcription factors lost their pericyte identity and acquired a neuronal phenotype. In some of the cultures that had contained up to 97% pericytes before transduction, up to 46% of the cells that co-expressed both Sox2 and Mash1 lost their pericyte markers and starting to express the neuronal marker βIII-tubulin, and up to 26% also exhibited neuronal morphology.
Intriguingly, the researchers note, conversion of the adult non-neuronal pericytes into pericyte-derived induced neuronal cells (hPdiNs) didn't require cell division. Rather, the process appeared to involve a direct switch from one cell type to the other. In fact, only a small percentage of fluorescence-tagged Sox2- and Mash1-coexpressing cells that the team followed over time underwent cell division, "indicating that Sox2- and Mash1-induced reprogramming does not require cell division, but is accompanied by immediate cell cycle exit," the team writes.
And encouragingly, the hPdiNs displayed the functional membrane properties of neurons. Up to 71% of neuronal cells derived from five different patient samples generated an action potential in response to a step-current injection, and exhibited clearly discernible sodium and potassium currents in voltage-clamp studies.
The authors admit that the cells' neuronal properties were more akin to those of immature neurons than mature neurons, "as reflected by the relatively high-input resistances, low-action potential, and peak sodium current amplitudes, even after prolonged time in culture, consistent with the slow maturation of human neurons," they write. However, when the the pericyte-derived neuronal cells were cocultured with embryonic mouse brain neurons they took on a more complex morphology, were capable of repetitive action potential firing and, importantly, could receive functional glutamatergic input from the cocultured neurons, "demonstrating that they express functional transmitter receptors, are capable of assembling a postsynaptic compartment, and can be recognized by other neurons as functional targets." Moreover, the hPdiN dendrites displayed multiple presynaptic terminals that contained vesicular glutamate transporters.
Dr. Beringer admits that much work will be needed to optimize the reprogramming process and adapt it for application in vivo. However, he claims, "our data provide strong support for the notion that neuronal reprogramming of cells of pericytic origin within the damaged brain may become a viable approach to replace degenerated neurons."
The investigators describe their technology and results in Cell Stem Cell, in a paper titled "Reprogramming of Pericyte-Derived Cells of the Adult Human Brain into Induced Neuronal Cells."

Surge testing will take place for the Brazil Manaus Covid variant - full list of locations
Five new UK areas are to begin surge coronavirus testing in a race to find any new cases of the Manaus Covid variant, first identified in Brazil.
Health officials announced on Sunday (28 Feb), that the variant - first emerging out of the Brazilian city Manaus - had been detected in several places across the UK.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThree cases were detected in England, and three in Scotland with Public Health England (PHE) saying the Scottish and English cases are not linked to one another.
Where did the UK cases come from?
The three English cases have been detected in South Gloucestershire, with health officials saying two out of the three cases are linked to a household with a travel history in Brazil. The third case is yet to be identified as the patient did not give their full contact details.
The Government is now urging anyone without a test result from February 12 or 13 to come forward.
In Scotland, the three cases came from people who flew into north east Scotland from Brazil via Paris and London. These people all isolated for the mandatory 10 days upon their return.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe Scottish Government said it is in the process of contacting all the other passengers who shared the same flight as these three people.
Surge testing
In England, five postcode areas in South Gloucestershire are to undergo surge testing for the variant, with anyone aged over 16 without symptoms of the virus being asked to come forward.
The postcode areas are BS32 0, BS32 8, BS32 9, BS34 5 and BS34 6 and fall within fall within Bradley Stoke, Patchway and Little Stoke.
Anyone who has to travel into these areas for work or other essential reasons is also able to get a Covid test, provided they have no symptoms of the virus.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdIt is not yet clear whether any surge testing will take place in Scotland in the area where the variant of concern has been discovered.
It's feared the variant will be more transmissible and possibly more resistant to vaccines, though health officials have commented that more work will need to be done to establish what risk the Manaus variant poses.

Setting up the controller
In order for this mapping to work, you will need to use these settings. First, enter System Mode by pressing the two black buttons in the top right encoder section. There is a vertical System label next to these two buttons. The orange Sys/Mon LED in the center bottom should be on and not blinking.
You can now modify various settings by pressing each of the 4 black buttons of the encoder section. There are two possible settings for each function, On or Off, depending which of the corresponding LED is lit. There is also a brief explanation of these settings on a gray sticker in the back of the controller.
The top left button controls the Auto Switch function. If the Seek/Scratch green LED, is on, the function is off. If the List/load red LED is on, the function is on. If the Auto Switch function is on, the encoder will switch to Seek/Scratch after pressing the encoder to load a track. This function is up to the user's preference and will not affect the mapping.
The bottom left button must be set to the Gain green LED for this mapping to work. If set to the red Pitch LED, the transport buttons will have different CC numbers. This is useful if you own a second controller which already has transport functions.
The top right button must be set to the Seek/Scratch green LED. If set to the List/Load red LED, the Auto Play function will be on, meaning that loading a track from the List/load encoder will trigger playback. You don't want this function on since it will conflict with the play button of the transport section which would have the same CC number.
The bottom right button must be set to the Gain green LED. If set to the red LED, the joystick will have different CC numbers, and its mapping won't work properly.
If the green FX1 LED is on, the controller's will use MIDI channel 1, and channel 16 if the FX2 LED is on. This is useful if you want to control four decks using two FaderFox DJ2 controllers. If you use only one controller, leave this setting to FX1. To change the setting, press the Shift button and the lower left black button of the encoder section for channel 1, or the lower right black button of the encoder section for channel 16.
Important : changes to your settings won't be saved if you just turn off the controller on System Mode. To save the settings, exit System Mode by pressing again the two black buttons of the left encoder section.
Encoders Section
The two encoders on top of the controller control various parameters. They can of course be turned but also act as push buttons. You can select which function is used for each of the encoders by pushing the black buttons of the encoders section. LEDs indicate which function is currently selected.
List/Load (top red LED is on) lets you browse your playlist. Push the left encoder to load the highlighted track into Deck A or the right encoder for Deck B.
Seek/Scratch (top green LED is on) acts as a jogwheel. Turn the left encoder for Deck A or the right encoder for Deck B. Pushing the encoder on that setting will activate Sync on that deck.
Gain (bottom green LED is on) controls the gain of the channel. Pushing the encoder on that setting will mute the track.
Pitch (bottom red LED is on) controls the tempo of the deck. Unfortunately there is no MIDI CC number emitted when pushing the encoder on that position.
The joystick can be set to control either the first or the second unit of the effect rack. To control the first effect unit, press Shift + the lower black button of the left encoder section (FX1 green LED is on). To control the second effect unit, press Shift + the lower black button of the right encoder section (FX2 green LED is on).
The horizontal axis of the joystick controls the Mix knob of the effect unit. The vertical axis control the Super Knob of the unit.
Mixer Section
Using the knobs and faders should be straightforward as the controls follow the labels printed on the controller.
The Cue Mix knob controls the headphone mix. The Cue A and Cue B are used to pre-listen the selected deck.
The green FX ctrl buttons are used to activate a desired effect unit on the selected deck.
the left green button enables effect unit 1 on that deck
the right green button enables effect unit 2 on that deck
Shift + left green button enables effect unit 3 on that deck
Shift + right green button enables fx unit 4 on that deck
The Kill button controls Low Kill and Shift + Kill controls High Kill. To use Mid Kill, press Shift + Cue A (Deck A) or Shift + Cue B (Deck B)
Transport Section
The left transport section controls Deck A transport functions, and the right transport section those of Deck B.
The top left gray button (labeled with a pause symbol) of each section controls the Align beatgrid to current playposition function. Shift + this button controls the Quantize function.
The top right gray button (without any label) controls the Keylock. Shift + this button controls the Reverse function.
The bottom left gray button (Play/pause label) controls Play. Shift + this button will make the playback jump one beat backward on this deck.
The bottom right gray button (play label) controls Cue (depending on the settings in Mixxx's preferences). Shift + this button will make the playback jump one beat forward on this deck.
The top blue button holds down the speed (temporary pitch bend) and the bottom blue button holds the speed up according to the labels on the controller. Pressing Shift + these blue buttons will act similarly but with a smaller pitch bending.

I have a long list of baked goods that I want to tackle, and croissants have been near the top for quite some time. And while I'm typically pretty fearless when it comes to trying out new recipes, I have been intimidated by croissants - all those turns, chills, etc. And if they were a big flop, I would have wasted so much time and energy. But one day I decided to just dive in, and I studied the recipe I planned to use. As I continued to flip through the cookbook, I happened upon Individual Danishes, which uses the same dough as croissants. Suddenly the croissants were forgotten, and I found myself planning for these instead.
Just as I expected, once I got started, these really weren't terribly challenging. Time consuming, yes. But not necessarily from a labor standpoint. Most of the time is spent waiting and chilling the dough. But man oh man are they worth it in the end! Flaky, buttery, sweet - these were everything a coffee shop Danish tries to be but falls short of. See? Look at those flaky layers!
As long as it was well-floured, the dough was a dream to work with. Silky and smooth, with good elasticity. But the most fun part was shaping the pastries. I was really intrigued by the pinwheel shapes, but I actually ended up liking the "S-shaped" ones (called Schnecken) better. I meant to take step-by-step photos of the process to better explain the recipe, but I got so involved in the process that it didn't really work out. The instructions are so clear that photos aren't really necessary anyway (I hope).
I couldn't decide on a filling, so I did half with cream cheese filling and the other half with apricot. The cream cheese ones were hands down mine and Joey's favorite. I also only made a half-batch, which was wise given the fact that I ate an embarrassing number of these within the first hour of them being baked.

- 4 2/3 cups (21 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbs instant yeast
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tbs cold milk
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs room temperature water
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups cold unsalted butter
- 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces and softened to room temperature
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- pinch salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 heaping Tbs apricot preserves
- pinch salt
- 1/2 lemon
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 2 Tbs light corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk
Resume the mixing on the lowest speed for another 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium-high for 10-15 seconds. The dough will begin to smooth out but should be very soft, supple, and sticky, but not batterlike. Add more flour or water as needed, but only mix until the dough has formed. It should still be somewhat sticky. If it's dry to the touch, it needs more water.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and, with floured hands, form it into a ball. Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
On Baking Day:
To make the butter block, cut the cold butter into 16 pieces, and combine with the flour in a mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on the lowest speed for about 1 minute to break the butter into smaller pieces. Scrape down the bowl as needed, and mix until the mixture is no longer lumpy. Increase the speed to medium-high as the butter pieces smooth out, and continue mixing until all the lumps of butter are gone and you have a smooth paste.
Spray a piece of plastic wrap lightly with cooking spray, and transfer the butter to the center. Spray the top of the butter, then using the plastic, gently form the butter into a 6-inch square. Using a bench scraper will help achieve even edges. The butter block should be about 1/2-inch thick and smooth across the top. Place it in the refrigerator to chill briefly.
To incorporate the butter block into the detempe, generously flour a large work surface. Transfer the detempe to the work surface and sprinkle more flour over the top of the dough. Roll the dough to a rectangle about 12 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches long. Roll from the center to the four corners, and then roll to the four sides to even it out. Check under the dough frequently to see if it needs more flour. Square off the sides and corners with a bench scraper. The dough should be about 1/2-inch thick, the same as the butter block.
Check the size of the dough by setting the butter block on the left side of the dough. The butter should only cover half of the dough, with just a 1/4-inch border on the left, top, and bottom. If it covers more or less than that, adjust the dough accordingly.
Remove the plastic wrap and flip the butter block onto the left side of the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Lift the right side of the dough and fold it over the butter to envelop or sandwich the butter. Stretch the dough along the top rim to seal the butter inside by pressing the top rim of the dough to the rim of the underside and pinching them together to form a seal. You now have three layers - dough, butter, dough.
To laminate the dough, lift the dough, one side at a time, and dust more flour underneath it, using a pastry scraper to lift it if the dough sticks. Lightly flour the top of the dough, then tap with a rolling pin over the top to work out any air bubbles and spread the butter evenly into all four corners.
Working from the center to the four corners and then to the four sides, gently roll out the dough into a rectangle, dusting under and on top of the dough with more flour as needed. Roll into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle that's about 16x9 inches.
Square off the sides and corners, then fold the dough as if you're folding a letter: Fold the right 1/3 of the dough to the left, then fold the left 1/3 to the right. Use the rolling pin to press out any air pockets, hen gently transfer the dough to a lightly floured sheet pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let the dough chill in the refrigerator 10-15 minutes so the gluten can relax.
Transfer the dough back to the floured surface, with the open seam facing away from you, and the closed side facing you. Gently roll the dough into another 16x9 inch rectangle, and once again fold into thirds. Transfer back to the baking sheet, and chill another 15 minutes.
After the second resting period, once again transfer the dough back to the floured surface, closed side facing you, and gently roll it out and fold it as before. Refrigerate another 15 minutes. You have now completed three "turns," and have created 81 layers of butter and dough.
For the final roll-out and shaping, transfer the dough back to the floured surface and gently roll it out until the dough is just under 1/4-inch thick and forms a rectangle 24 inches wide and 9 inches long. Be careful not to put too much presure on the dough as you roll it out, or the layers could break. If the dough starts to shrink back or resist, add more flour underneat. Square off the sides and corners with a bench scraper.
To make Schnecken, use a straight edge (such as a ruler), to cut 1-inch vertical strips, so that you end up with strips that are 8-9 inches long. Lift each strip at both ends and twist in opposite directions to form the strip into a spring-like coil, then lay the strip down on the work surface and coil from both ends to form an S-shape. Tuck the outer end of the coils underneath to close off the circle. Place the pastries about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
To make the pinwheels, cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Working one piece at a time, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut a notch at each corner, cutting from the corner toward the center, without connecting the cuts. Leave an uncut center about 1/2-inch wide for the filling. Take the same side of each corner and fold it over to the center, pressing it into the uncut platform. When all four corners are folded, use your thumb to press the ends into each other and seal them in the center of the pinwheel. Place the pinwheels about 1-inch apart on the baking sheet.
Cover the pastries with plastic wrap. Proof at room temperature for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the dough has swelled noticeably.
To make the cream cheese filling, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine until smooth.
To make the apricot filling, combine the apricots and orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave about 1 minute, until the juice is simmering. Let stand, covered, about 10 minutes, until the apricots have absorbed most of the juice. Place the apricots, any remaining juice, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process until a puree forms, about 20 seconds. Scrape into a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
To bake and glaze the pastries, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Fill the pastries by using your thumb to make an indention in the center of each coil (or the center of the pinwheel), and add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the pockets.
To make the fondant icing, stir the sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla together. Gradually whisk in the milk, adding just enough to make a thick but creamy glaze. The more milk you add, the thinner the glaze will be.
Just before baking the Danish, prepare the hot glaze. Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat and stir in the apricot preserves, then add the entire lemon half. Maintain a gentle simmer as the Danish bake.
As the syrup is heating up, place the pan in the oven and lower the temperature to 400 degrees. Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake an additional 5-6 minutes, until they are a medium golden-brown.
As soon as the Danish come out of the oven, brush with the hot syrup (including over the filling). Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then drizzle streaks of the fondant glaze over them. Allow the glaze to set up for 5 minutes before serving.

Cutting-Edge, Non Invasive Prenatal Test for Chromosomal Abnormalities launched by EasyDNA
SYDNEY, India – (28/08/2017) International DNA testing company EasyDNA launches a new, non-invasive 99% accurate prenatal screening test for Down's syndrome as well as fetal chromosomal abnormalities.
The NIPT test is a scientific advancement in the field of screening tests that allows far higher levels of accuracy than more conventional screening tests and is carried out using just a medical blood draw. In relation to the launch, a company representative states that "This cutting-edge test is 100% risk free and requires only a blood draw. The results of this 99% accurate test will indicate whether the fetus carries trisomies 13, 18 and 21 as well as looking for other conditions caused by missing and extra copies of other types of chromosomes, called sex chromosomes (X and Y)."
In relation to the test's accuracy, EasyDNA notes that NIPT testing has been widely endorsed by medical specialists over the recent years and is quickly becoming an important tool in the prenatal field. Further to this, the company also highlights that "this test will form the basis for further diagnostic testing using tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should NIPT results indicate any anomalies". The company also highlights a number of other benefits of this test, importantly the fact that the test can be done as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, well within the first trimester.
Further commenting on this joined venture, EasyDNA operation's manager confirmed that, "The testing process follows the standard industry guidelines and can only be performed via a client's chosen medical professional."

Green's Path
See also: Footpaths
Green's Path was one of the principal routes used during the second and third quarters of the eighteenth century by settlers moving south from Virginia into those sections of the Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, and Cape Fear River basins that lay in the inner coastal plain of North Carolina. The path ran southwest between the Western and Eastern (or Tuscarora) Trading Paths, parallel to both. On Collet's 1770 map of the colony (which is essentially the work of William Churton and reflects information that had been current around 1764), Green's Path is shown as a route leading from Surrey and Brunswick Counties in Virginia into North Carolina, crossing the Roanoke River at Eaton's Ferry (now covered by Lake Gaston in northeastern Warren County). From there the path ran south-southwest into modern western Nash County and then into eastern Johnston County, where it shifted to a southwest course, crossing the Lower Little River at the old Cumberland County Courthouse at Chafferington. The path continued to Cross Creek, where it intersected an east-west path connecting the section of the Western Trading Path on the head of the Rocky River with the Eastern Trading Path near Nahunta. It then merged with a road following a south-southeast direction along the western side of the Cape Fear River to settlements in Bladen County.
Edgecombe County court records from the 1730s and 1740s speak of persons using "John Green's Path" to travel from Contentnea Creek to the Tar River and up the Tar to the Western Trading Path. Those records also include testimony reporting the passage of a family that had set off for Green's Path on their departure from Edgecombe County to South Carolina and Georgia. Presumably these references are to the same path. If so, the path assumedly took its name from John Green, whose family accompanied him from Virginia to the Roanoke River settlements around 1715, moving down to the Tar River around 1730 and on to Bladen County around 1740. None of the original route of Green's Path appears to have survived in the state's modern road system, but the road leading south-southeast on the west side of the Cape Fear River from Cross Creek (modern Fayetteville) through Elizabethtown before reaching Wilmington appears to have survived in large part as State Highway 87.
