Insomnia51 is officially our biggest ever spring Insomnia Gaming FestivalIt's official. Insomnia51, our first event at the Ricoh Arena, has become our biggest ever spring Insomnia event, with an unprecedented 20,000 footfall across the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
Thousands of gamers from a variety of backgrounds gathered to enjoy a schedule packed full of engaging content, with Main Festival Stage presenting from We've Got Game Founders, Matt Littler and Darren Jefferies. The festival's activities spanned the range of modern gaming culture, from high level Esports tournaments to a thriving exhibition hall including Minecraft, Indie, Tabletop Gaming, and Retro zones. There were also panel talks in a 650-seat dedicated auditorium, and of course the UK's biggest LAN gaming halls.
Following on from the success of Insomnia49 last summer, Insomnia51 featured appearances from special guests from across the globe. Providing fans with the chance to meet them in person, Insomnia51 enabled YouTube stars to connect with their communities through Meet & Greet sessions, panel talk sessions, and main stage shows.
As the first Insomnia Gaming Festival of 2014, Insomnia51 saw increased entries for not only Esports tournaments on PC, but also on console. As part of our pledge to help grow the console tournament scene at Insomnia events, Multiplay delivered the Console Esports Arena, an area wholly dedicated to console Esports including tournament stations, a spectating zone, and an area for press.
Last year the Insomnia Gaming Festivals hit several milestones, with both its largest ever event and it's fiftieth outing. 2013's rapid growth and increased attendance inspired a change of venue, and the UK's biggest gaming festival found a new home at Coventry's Ricoh Arena resulting in the highest attendance for an Easter event in our 17-year history.
"There is no equivalent to the Insomnia Gaming Festival in the UK. There's no single event that combines the LAN halls, the tournaments, the exhibition, the special guests, the stage activities, all into a single weekend-long gaming-focused festival experience," said Craig Fletcher, CEO & Founder of Multiplay. "With each passing year Insomnia grows bigger and better, in no small part due to our incredible community and the fantastic partners we work with. With our summer plans for Insomnia52, 2014 is shaping up to be an unstoppable year for Multiplay events."
Minecraft is back at Insomnia51 - Featuring Special Guests, Panel Talks, Tournaments and moreFollowing on from last summer's Minecraft Expo at Insomnia49, we're bringing back the features that entertained Minecraft fans of all ages from across the country and beyond. The Minecraft Zone will offer free-to-enter tournaments for the most popular gametypes, panel talks and presentations in the dedicated 650 seat auditorium, with an exhibition featuring examples from the best and brightest of the community, as well as the chance to purchase official Minecraft merchandise from J!nx.
Also returning this event is a packed-out roster of Special Guests who will be meeting fans in our Meet & Greet area, as well as joining in with panel talks in the auditorium, and participating in Festival Stage shows. The line-up so far includes: FyreUK, BeBopVox, AntVenom, Element Animation, The Diamond Minecart, Caveman Films, The Noxcrew, MusicByPedro, Starbound developers Chucklefish, Gizzy Gazza, Blue Monkey, Weed Lion, SoTotallyToby, Buycraft and Codename_B, with more to be announced.

Course reconnaissance and well-planned mechanical preparation were two important ingredients to success for the BMC Racing Team throughout the 2010 season.
The Ultimate Test: Strade Bianche
There was no better example of this strategy instituted by Directeur Sportif John Lelangue than during Stage 7 of the Giro d'Italia. The 220-kilometer race included two sections of hard-packed dirt roads known as "Strade Bianche." (Translation: "white roads.") But on this cold day in May, driving rain turned the course into a muddy, brown quagmire – putting both man and machinery to the test in the most extreme of conditions.
Reliable Equipment Key
But the BMC Racing Team was ready. Chief Mechanic Ian Sherburne and his staff had prepared the BMCs and their components well. Motorex lubes and cleaners were used aplenty, Speedplay pedals were checked and double-checked. Elite Pase carbon water bottle cages – featuring a unique shape – ensured that Elite bottles would remain in place on the roughest of roads. The combination of readiness and reconnaissance of the race course two months prior helped world champion Cadel Evans slog his way to victory.
'Good Easton Wheels'
"I'm really proud of all the guys and the staff, who worked hard to prepare everything for today," Lelangue said afterwards. "We changed Cadel's BMC at 120 kilometers to make sure we had good Easton wheels and we had people stationed on the dirt roads with another spare BMC and wheels." The same formula for success manifested itself again at the Tour de France on a cobblestoned Stage 3. That day, Evans made the decisive front group and moved into third overall. "Just to get through it as a GC rider – and get through it without losing any time – was all that I wanted," Evans said. "We spent a lot of time getting ready for this key stage."

Prepare for the Censns. Accurate statistical information with regard to the agriculture of this country is of prime importance not to our own farmers and citizens alone, but to the world at large, Recognizing this fact, Congress by an act, approved March 3, 1879, provided that the next census should be completed within the month of June, 1880. By this provision it is expected to avoid most of the errors in former agricultural reports, due to the fact that many of the products returned embraced those of two different crops. As the next enumeration will be completed between June 1 and the 30th inclusive, nearly all the crops harvested one year can be pretty accurately ascertained. Theso for the calendar year 1879 will include the cereals, peas, beans, rice, tobacco, cotton, potatoes, fruits of all kinds, hay, clover, grass seed, hemp, flax, honey, sugar-cane, sorghum, and, iu short, everything harvested this fall. The crops of the calendar year 1S80 will be few, embracing maple sugar and molasses, and wool clipped chiefly in spring, except in Southern California, lexas and some of the other Southern States where two clippings a year are obtained. For certain agricultural products thero is no regular harvest, for they ore gathered as thoy mature, week by week, and day by day. These comprise butter, cheese, milk sold, value of animals slaughtered, yield of market gardens, timber of all kinds, and home manufactures. , Itis extremely desirable that the returns on all these topics should be full and accurate, and this end can be best secured by the hearty and intelligent co-operation of our farmers.

Pale dauphin gray and mastic shades of chinchilla and beaver cloth, plain and ribbed, are again used for jackets, dolmans, visites and sacques.

But he did not add the deceiver was himself. A boisterous, ill-bred fellow, in a dispute, called his adversary " no gentleman." " I suppose you think yourself one ? " was the reply. " Certainly I do," answered the bully. "Then," said the other, " I am not offended that you don't think me one." " DER GANDIDATE."

Dairy cows may be a bigger contributor to smog in the Los Angeles area than many people thought, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by scientists from the University of Colorado and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and published in Geophysical Research Letters, found that dairy farms and motor vehicles are about equally responsible for a sizeable fraction of the smog over LA, says this article in Ars Technica.
A large portion of the smog is ammonium nitrate, consisting of small particles from the interaction of ammonia and nitrogen oxide gas. Both cows and automobiles are responsible for ammonia, but it's the automobiles that produce nitrogen oxide.
Data gathered in and around the Los Angeles basin in May 2010 suggest that the region's 9.9 million autos generate about 62 metric tons of ammonia each day, according to this article from Reuters. Ammonia emissions from dairy farms in the eastern portion of the basin ― home to about 298,000 cattle ― range between 33 and 176 metric tons per day, the article says.
Yet, many of the dairy farms east of Los Angeles ― particularly those around Chino ― are no longer in business.
"There are not many dairies left in Southern Cal, and I am surprised to hear that these few dairies would have a major effect. The ammonia that they have measured does not come from the San Joaquin Valley with all its dairies," says Frank Mitloehner, air-quality specialist in the Department of Animal Science at the University of California-Davis.
"I disagree with the notion that cows produce more smog than cars," Mitloehner says. "Both contribute pollutants that need to mix to form PM2.5 (fine particulate matter). It is as if you were to say 'flour is more important than the egg when baking a cake.' You need both!"
The study appears to overstate the number of cows in the area.
There are about 100,000 mature cows -- milking and dry -- on about 110 facilities in Chino, Ontario and San Jacinto, according to Rob Vandenheuvel, general manager of the Milk Producers Council in Ontario, Calif.
Ying Wang, director of Life Cycle Assessment research for the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, issued the following response to the study:
"We believe the ammonia emissions estimate of California dairy farms from the study published in Geophysical Research Letters is more than 50 percent higher than other research that we have reviewed," Wang said.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency please dial 911 immediately
Shaken baby syndrome is brain injury that occurs when someone shakes a baby or throws a baby against an object. It is a form of child abuse. It may happen to children up to 5 years of age, but it is most common in babies younger than 1 year old.
It is never okay to shake or throw a young child. It may not leave any obvious sign of injury, but it can cause serious long-term problems or even death.
Shaken baby syndrome often occurs when a baby won't stop crying and a caregiver loses control of his or her emotions. Parents can help prevent this problem by learning healthy ways to relieve stress and anger. It's also important to choose child care providers carefully.
Shaken baby syndrome may also be called "shaken-impact syndrome." Many doctors use the term "abusive head trauma" to describe the injury. They may use "intentional head injury" to describe how it happened.
When a baby is shaken or thrown, the head twists or whips back and forth. This can cause tears in brain tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. The child's brain slams against the skull. This can cause bleeding and swelling in the brain.
Young children are at high risk for brain injury when they are shaken or thrown. That's because they have:
Normal play, such as bouncing a child on a knee or gently tossing a child in the air, does not cause shaken baby syndrome.
Symptoms vary among children based on how old they are, how often they've been abused, how long they were abused each time, and how much force was used.
Mild injuries may cause subtle symptoms. For example, a child may:
A child with more severe injuries may have symptoms such as:
A child who has been shaken or thrown may also have other signs of abuse, such as broken bones, bruises, or burns.
Symptoms can start quickly, especially in a badly injured child. Other times, it may take a few days for brain swelling to cause symptoms.
Sometimes caregivers who harm a child will put the child to bed. They may hope that symptoms will get better with rest. By the time the child gets to a doctor, the child may need urgent care. In some cases, the child may be in a coma before a caregiver seeks help.
Shaken baby syndrome can be hard to detect because often there aren't clear signs of abuse. Instead, a baby may have vague symptoms, such as vomiting or a poor appetite. At first these symptoms may seem related to an infection, such as the flu or a kidney infection. Sadly, shaken baby syndrome may not be discovered until repeated abuse or more severe harm occurs.
To confirm a diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, a doctor will:
A doctor may also do tests to rule out other possible causes of the child's symptoms. For example, a lumbar puncture checks the spinal fluid for signs of meningitis. Blood tests may be done to check for internal injuries or to rule out other conditions, such as rare blood disorders.
A doctor who suspects shaken baby syndrome must report it to the local child welfare office and police.
A child with shaken baby syndrome needs to be in the hospital, sometimes in an intensive care unit (ICU). Oxygen therapy may be used to help the child breathe. Doctors may give the child medicine to help ease brain swelling. Sometimes a cooling mattress will help lower the child's body temperature and reduce brain swelling.
Depending on the symptoms, doctors may try seizure medicine, physical therapy, or other treatments. A child who has severe bleeding in the brain may need surgery.
A child may have brain damage that causes one or more serious problems, such as:
Some children die from their injuries.
It is important to get help if something doesn't seem right with your baby. Shaken baby syndrome may cause only mild symptoms at first, but any head injury in a young child can be dangerous.
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if a child:
Young children can't defend themselves, so it is up to adults who care to protect them. If you suspect abuse and the child is not in immediate danger:

The Bulldogs' 66-29 win over Tokay High moved Tracy (7-5) to the second round and Tokay (1-9) — last year's tournament runner-up — into the consolation bracket.
Tracy senior guard Karsi Fyfe scored 19 points for the night. She scored 10 in the second quarter, when she hit two 3-point shots, leading Tracy to a 43-11 halftime lead.
Fyfe is in her fourth year playing in the tournament, and she said the team has a lot of confidence this year.
"I see us going all the way this year, because this is the team everyone has been waiting for," she said.
"At first we weren't used to playing together. All of our hustle and practice pays off. We've got to stay strong and keep our heads high and play hard."
Tracy coach Derek Solano got everyone into the game, and nearly everyone scored. Senior guard Taylor Juarez scored eight points, and seniors Emily Anchartechahar and Angela Mariani added seven each.
"We rebounded well, so that helped," Solano said. "We shot the ball better than we have all year."
Lathrop 50, West 49
The Wolf Pack fell behind by 13 points in the second quarter but fought back to cut Lathrop's lead to 27-23 at the half.
West (8-5) brought some solid offense to the third quarter, but the team was still unable to outscore the Spartans (3-4) until the fourth and ended up a point short at the end.
Scoring leaders for West were freshman Lyric Wilson, senior Emma Bell and junior Nini Woodward, who had 10 points each. Woodward also pulled down 12 rebounds, Bell made 10 rebounds and Ileyah Costa provided eight assists.

|Holy Ghost German Evangelical Church Marriages, 1834–1844
|| Print |
Holy Ghost was the first German Protestant Evangelical Church in St. Louis. The original church members included Lutheran and Reformed denominations. In 1843, some members formed two new churches, St. Peters and St. Marks.
The Holy Ghost marriage records do not include the name of the parents of the bride and groom. The record does include the name of the city or village where the bride and groom were born.
St. Louis Genealogical Society microfilmed these records many years ago. The film is available at the StLGS office or at St. Louis County Library. Would you like StLGS to make a photocopy of the microfilmed record? StLGS Research Request.
Maryhelen Wilson transcribed and contributed this information for publication starting in the 1986 St. Louis Genealogical Society Quarterly, volume 19, number 1, pages 1–6. The series continues through volume 21, number 1, pages 7–10.
