Satellite spots possible lead on missing Malaysian jet
Thu., March 13, 2014
BEIJING – China's satellite research agency said late Wednesday that it had detected three large floating objects near the flight path of the Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on Saturday.
The announcement by an arm of China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense could prove a breakthrough – or yet another red herring in the frustrating 5-day-old search for the elusive Boeing 777 and the 239 people it carried.
"We cannot be sure it was from the missing flight," Chinese civil aviation chief Li Jiaxiang told radio reporters today at a legislative meeting in Beijing.
Vietnamese officials said the area had already been "searched thoroughly" in recent days, according to the Associated Press.
In another possible scenario, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. investigators suspect the missing jetliner flew on for four hours once it lost contact with air traffic controllers. The suspicion is based on data from the plane's engines that are automatically downloaded and transmitted to the ground as part of routine maintenance programs.
Malaysian planes were on their way to examine the floating objects, near where the Gulf of Thailand meets the South China Sea. A spokesman for the U.S. 7th Fleet said the United States would continue searching in an area of the Strait of Malacca, hundreds of miles to the west.
The unidentified objects are large, each about the size of a basketball court. On its website, the Chinese agency released pictures and described the objects as 43 feet by 59 feet, 46 feet by 62 feet and 79 feet by 72 feet.
The agency also released coordinates of 105.63 east longitude, 6.7 north latitude, roughly on the flight path northeast of Kuala Lumpur over the Gulf of Thailand. The photos were taken at 11 a.m. Sunday, more than 24 hours after Flight 370 disappeared from radar. The agency did not explain the delay.
The announcement came as a veritable armada of ships and planes scoured the waters and jungles of South Asia for signs of debris. At the latest count, there were 42 ships and 39 aircraft searching for the plane. Twelve countries were involved, with Japan, India and Brunei the latest to pitch in.
Frustration was beginning to turn into recrimination and finger-pointing, with Chinese state media suggesting that Malaysia was concealing information and Vietnam suspending its assistance in the search effort.
Malaysian officials defended their handling of the search.
"This is unprecedented what we are going through. Coordinating so many countries together is not something that is easy. We are looking at so many vessels and aircraft, so many countries," acting Transportation Minister Hishamuddin Hussein said at a stormy televised news conference late Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital.
At the news conference, Malaysian military officials attempted to clear up conflicting statements that had angered China and Vietnam. They said the last confirmed contact with the aircraft was at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, about 50 minutes after takeoff, over the Gulf of Thailand.
However, military radar detected an unidentified aircraft about 2:15 a.m. over the Strait of Malacca, on the west side of the Malay peninsula, about 330 miles from the flight path.
"We are not sure whether it is the same aircraft," Malaysian armed forces chief Gen. Zulkefli Mohamad Zin said.
Nevertheless, the search has been expanded from the Gulf of Thailand to two new areas – the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea – and covers a total of 27,000 square nautical miles, officials said.
Earlier in the day, China and Vietnam lashed out at the Malaysians.
"We've decided to temporarily suspend some search-and-rescue activities, pending information from Malaysia," Vietnam's deputy transportation minister, Pham Quy Tieu, told reporters. "We've asked Malaysian authorities twice, but so far they have not replied to us."
China's Communist Party-controlled Global Times assailed the Malaysian government's conflicting statements in an editorial Wednesday.
"We don't know which information published by Malaysia is true and which is false, or whether they have released all the information they have so far," the editorial said. "Is the Malaysian military intentionally hiding something?"
The Chinese Foreign Ministry was only slightly less withering, with spokesman Qin Gang saying at a briefing in Beijing, "Right now there is a lot of information, and it's pretty chaotic, so up to this point we too have had difficulty confirming whether it is accurate or not."
Of the 227 passengers aboard the missing plane, 159 were Chinese nationals and many others were ethnic Chinese. China has eight ships involved in the search.
At a hotel in Beijing, family members waited in a conference room, hoping for any nugget of new information.
"My only hope is for my son to be back. That is more important than anything else," murmured a woman in her 50s, her face red and puffy. She was assisted by two family members as she walked outside the room.

Breaking: Mr Justice Treacy has ruled on the Blood Ban for Gay and Bisexual Men.
In his judgement he has found that the lifetime ban on Gay and Bisexual men donating blood is irrational. By continuing the ban in Northern Ireland Minister Poots has been found to act beyond his capacity in breach of the ministerial code. It now falls to UK Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt to quash the ban in Northern Ireland.

Identifying Health Care Barriers Experienced by Women with Disabilities and
Parents Caring for Children with Disabilities
— Research Published in Leading Nursing Journal Addresses Barriers for Reproductive Care
for Women with Disabilities and the Support Needed by Families Caring for Children with
Disabilities —
Washington, DC, August 4, 2015 — In the United States, approximately 27 million women have disabilities, including more than 50% of women older than age 65. Nurses and other clinicians must understand and become more knowledgeable about the unique health needs of these women in order to provide quality care. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which offers a timely opportunity to explore health care for women affected by disabilities.
The July/August 2015 issue of Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing (JOGNN) from the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) features a series of articles on the nursing care of women with disabilities and the issues faced by families of children with disabilities.
"Health care professionals often neglect the concerns and specific health needs, especially sexual and reproductive needs, of women with disabilities due to a lack of access to information and knowledge about caring for these women," writes guest editor Barbara D. Camune, DrPH, CNM, WHNP-BC, FACNM. "It is important that clinicians are knowledgeable about the common concerns of women with disabilities regarding the safety of breastfeeding, sexuality, and the use of contraception. In addition, nurses should also be aware of strategies to assist women and families with the transition of disabled infants or children from the hospital to community care."
In "Supporting Families of Children with Disabilities" Cheryl Riley, DNP, APRN, NNP-BC and Lori Baas Rubarth, PhD, APRN, NNP-BC explain concerns families experience while caring for infants or children with disabilities. With advances in technology and neonatal care, survival rates of premature infants or those born with birth defects have improved. Additionally, the number of children with disabilities living at home has doubled since 1960, likely due to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Caring for a child with a disability can significantly affect the entire family.
The authors share insights on family adjustment challenges and web-based resources that may help. They also suggest that an interdisciplinary team can assist families and find needed supports.
Becky Spencer, PhD, RN, IBCLC addresses breastfeeding concerns in "Medications and Breastfeeding for Mothers with Chronic Illnesses." Although breastfeeding may improve the condition of the mother and is important for infant growth and development, many women with chronic conditions are discouraged from breastfeeding by health care professionals because of medication use and fear of adverse effects on the infant. However, many medications are not contraindicated for breastfeeding. The author provides resources for assessing medications to guide mothers with disabilities on breastfeeding.
In "Meeting the Reproductive Needs of Female Adolescents with Neurodevelopmental Disabilities" Katherine Ferrell Fouquier, PhD, RN, CNM and Barbara D. Camune argue that bias among health care professionals affects education and provision of reproductive care for this vulnerable population. Barriers to care may include accessibility of the office, positioning for examination, contraception counseling, pregnancy care, and managing the parent or caregiver. The authors recommend a nonjudgmental approach to develop a therapeutic and trusting relationship.
"In a society where people with disabilities are included and respected, providing competent health care to these individuals must be a national priority," said AWHONN CEO, Lynn Erdman, MN, RN, FAAN. "This exploration of health care challenges experienced by women and children with disabilities provides insightful resources for improving quality of care."

9 Preface Dwelling Place is a history of two peoples living together on the Georgia coast from 1805 to It is a single narrative because their lives were linked and interwoven in innumerable and often intimate ways and because this coastal land shaped all who lived along its rivers, by its swamps, and on its islands and sandy hills, even as those who lived there shaped the land itself. Yet Dwelling Place is also two histories one of whites and one of blacks, one of owners and one of slaves. For in spite of all of their closeness and all the ways their lives were bound together on this particular part of the Georgia coast, there was a great divide between those who were owned and those who owned. So great was the distance between them and so different was their experience that Dwelling Place is necessarily two histories of one place and one time. One history centers on the family of Charles Colcock Jones, who came to be known among whites as the Apostle to the Negro Slaves. The other history focuses on the family of Lizzy Jones, the matriarch of one of the most influential and widely connected families of the Gullah-speaking slave community of Liberty County, Georgia. Both families were part of dense networks of relatives and friends who constituted significant parts of each family s history. Both families, in all their own diversity and peculiarities, saw the landscape of Liberty County and understood the stories of the people who lived on its land from very different places and in very different ways. Dwelling Place is an attempt to tell these two histories in a single narrative, because each history was dependent on the other and cannot be understood apart from the other. One history is of a white family s love for one another and of their loveforthebeautyofalow-countryhome.theirstoryismarkedbythebitter irony of good intentions gone astray and of benevolent impulses becoming ideological supports for deep oppression. The other history is of a particular Africanix
10 x Copyrighted Material Preface American family s resistance to the degradations of slavery. Their story is marked by the varied strategies of its members not only open resistance to slavery but also acculturation and relentless negotiations as they sought to ease the burdens of slavery and to move toward a new future for themselves and their family. Because the study explores the lives of specific individuals and families over an extended period of time, it is a composite biography: the lives of owners and owned are seen overlapping one another and being layered together in complex and interdependent ways, even as they are both located within larger social and cultural contexts. The narrative begins in 1805 at Liberty Hall plantation, three months after the birth of Charles Colcock Jones and a short time before the birth of Lizzy Jones s second son, Cato. It ends in 1869, when the entire region appeared strangely and, for the blacks, wonderfully changed. The story follows the histories of these two families, and their dense networks of relatives and friends, through a period of immense social, cultural, and technological transformations. These transformations, and the comings and goings of plantation life for more than sixty years, are seen and experienced from above in Dwelling Place through the eyes of ruling whites and are seen and experienced from below through the eyes of resourceful slaves and freed people who struggled first against the bitter burden of slavery and then against its legacy of a powerful racism. Any history, of course, involves not only intense research and analysis but also an act of imagination as the facts of research are arranged and interpreted in themindofthehistorian.thisistrueofahistoryofthewhitesoflibertycounty who left behind an extensive collection of letters and documents. An act of imagination is required to enter their world even with all the richness of their written record, for their nineteenth-century plantation world is distant from the largely urban world of the twenty-first century. The distance is perhaps most clearly felt at those points when we ask, How could they believe that? or How could they do that? If an act of imagination is required to enter the well-documented white world of nineteenth-century Liberty County, much more imagination is needed to enter the world of Liberty County slaves. Their written records are few and their voices have been for generations largely suppressed. Yet their story has its witnesses, and the witnesses tell of slave life, of the work that slaves did, and of the community Liberty County slaves built. Some of these witnesses are found in the land itself, as archaeologists have dug in slave settlements or as dams and dikes of old rice fields have appeared on aerial photographs. Other witnesses come from studies of other slave communities and from the history of the institution of slavery itself. A few critically important witnesses are found in slave letters and in slave narratives from Liberty County. Most of the witnesses, how-
11 Preface xi ever, for the family of Lizzy Jones and its network of relations and friends, come in the letters and in the plantation and court documents of white owners. This white testimony must be approached with special care. But with care, and with collaboration from other sources, an imaginative leap can be made to read what James C. Scott in Domination and the Arts of Resistance calls the hidden transcripts of the slave settlements in order to tell the story of a slave family and how they saw and experienced a time and place shared with other slaves and with the whites of Liberty County. The final presentation of one s research, writes Rhys Isaac in The Transformation of Virginia, should not be primarily a record of the researcher s labors, but a persuasive reconstruction of the experiences of past actors. This is the intent of Dwelling Place. What was life like for the white Jones family and their white neighbors on low-country plantations during these years? What was life like for the black Jones family and its dense network of neighbors in the slave settlements of Liberty County during these same years? And how were the lives of both whites and blacks linked and interwoven by the power of slavery and by the responses of particular men and women to that power? I am grateful to many people for their help in the completion of this study too many people, I am afraid, to name them all. Gratitude, however, demands that I thank publicly those who provided special assistance. Leon C. Miller, manuscripts librarian, Tulane University, and Wilbur E. Meneray, assistant dean for special collections, Tulane, encouraged me through their professional help and many kindnesses. Tim Browning, director of the library, Columbia Theological Seminary, provided the funding for the microfilming of the Charles Colcock Jones Collection at Tulane and thereby saved me many pleasant but time-consuming trips to New Orleans. Gail DeLoach, the senior archivist at the Georgia Department of Archives and History, was helpful in many ways, but especially with the securing of photographs. Mandi Johnson of the Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, provided much appreciated guidance. Bill Bynum of the Presbyterian Historical Society, Montreat, North Carolina, went out of his way to be helpful. Todd Crumley helped find and photocopy materials from the special collections at Duke University. Doug Minnerly, Richard Floyd, Kyle Henderson, Hunter Camp, and Amy Lehr helped to photocopy several thousand documents from microfilm. Richard Blake checked names, edited the genealogical charts, and prepared the indexes of persons with his usual grace and attention to detail. Bonnie Shoemaker provided assistance in securing documents and ordering materials. Her efficient and cheerful ways as an administrative assistant freed me from numerous responsibilities. A number of people in Liberty County offered me generous assistance. Over
12 xii Copyrighted Material Preface many years the staff in the superior court and in the probate court helped me sort through documents and solve troubling mysteries. Bill Cox, president of the Liberty County Historical Society, shared with me his knowledge of Liberty County history and provided microfilm of the Lambert Foundation documents. Molene Herbert Chambless Burke helped me unravel some of the history of the Baptist Churches in the county. Tom Mueller of the First Presbyterian Church, Hinesville, introduced me to people familiar with the history of the region. Colonel George Rogers of Colonel s Island spent an afternoon with me discussing the island and its history. Joann Clark of the Midway Museum showed me a number of documents in the museum s collection and introduced me to people who helped with specific questions. In adjacent Bryan County, David Long showed me every kindness and shared with me his enthusiasm for low-country history. I am particularly grateful to those who traveled with me over parts of the low country. Buddy Smith, a crabber, spent a day with me in his boat as we explored thenorthnewportriver.hehasanamazingknowledgeoftheriver slifeand moods and of hunting, fishing, and crabbing in the low country. Townsend Warren provided much lore about shrimping and crabbing. Chris Hartbarger kayaked with me through the Medway marshes and walked with me around the remaining ruins of Maybank plantation. Ezekiel Walthour drove me around parts of the county, pointed out the locations of a number of plantations, and arranged for me to interview members of the African-American community in the county, including Mrs. LeCounte Baggs, who knew as a child Gilbert Lawson, Jr. My conversation with her was an unexpected gift. An unknown driver of a pickup truck pointed out the way through the woods to the cemetery of the Retreat plantation. Ken Speir walked with me over much of the former South Hampton plantation, showed me where the old plantation house was located, and introduced me to Kip Kirby, plantation manager, Hampton Island, who kindly showed other areas of the former Roswell King plantation. Laura Devendorf talked with me about the history and geography of the area around Sunbury and showed me over the grounds of Palmyra and Springfield plantations. Van Martin recalled what he remembered as a boy horseback riding over the lands of Montevideo plantation. Ed Loring, whose dissertation in 1976 was on Charles Colcock Jones, was a frequent conversation partner as I labored over nine years on the work of this book. Walter Brueggemann, Dan Carter, and Joe Harvard read substantial parts of the narrative and gave me their welcomed judgments. Marcia Riggs, as a womanist and ethicist, was of particular help as I attempted to understand the struggles of African-American women. She read a number of chapters and provided important bibliographic resources. Griselda Lartey spoke with me about older people as storytellers in her native Ghana.

Columbia Theological Seminary provided generous sabbatical leaves for my work on this project and much encouragement through Presidents Doug Oldenburg and Laura Mendenhall and Deans James Hudnut-Beumler and Cameron Murchison. Larisa Heimert, publisher, Yale University Press, has the remarkable gift of encouraging authors while easing anxieties. Dan Heaton, senior manuscript editor, dealt gracefully with my errors while delighting me with his humor. Constant and sustaining encouragement came from my wife, Nancy, and our daughters, Legare and Elizabeth. They, even more than friends, listened to my relentless telling and retelling of parts of this narrative. Dwelling Place is gratefully dedicated to them.

16 Liberty County
17 1 Liberty Hall Early on a March morning in 1805, as the first hints of dawn touched the Sea Islands and the marshlands south of Savannah, Old Jupiter rose, went out of his cabin, and with a blast from his conch-shell horn announced a new day. The sound filled the early-morning silence of the slave quarters at Liberty Hall plantation and called out the men and women who lived there. Lizzy threw off her blanket and slipped her Osnaburg dress over her shift. Lifting her two-year-old son Lymus to her hip, she hurried toward the kitchen, an outbuilding behind the plantation house. Quickly she stirred into flame the banked coals in the fireplace and began the preparation of a simple breakfast for John Jones. Neither she, nor Jupiter, nor John Jones, nor anyone else on the plantation knew that this day was to bring a crisis for all whose lives were so closely intertwined at Liberty Hall. 1 Jones was up by the time Lizzy reached the kitchen. He too had heard the sound of Jupiter s horn in the slave quarters, and he had slipped out of bed, leaving his young wife, Susannah, and their three-month-old son, Charles Colcock, sleeping quietly. Jones dressed in his hunting clothes, moved down the hall past the rooms of his other children daughters Betsy and Susan and son John and descended the wide plantation stairs. Going into his study, he removed from a cabinet an expensive English-made gun. It had been his first, a gift when he was only twelve. Old Mrs. Goldsmith, his mother had written from Governor Houstoun s home in Savannah, has made you a present of a handsome silver mounted Gun, which she begs you ll keep for her sake. 2 Overtheyearshehad used it to hunt the ducks that flew into rice fields at dawn and, loading it with buckshot, to hunt the deer that lived in the woods and swamps that surrounded his plantation home. Making his way toward the kitchen, Jones could see the slave settlement and fires glowing through the mist of the low-country morning. Sixty-two men, 1
18 2 Liberty Hall women, and children lived in the cabins that lined both sides of a sandy ribbon of a road. Those who were preparing to go to the fields stood outside around fires warming themselves. Here in the open, in communal yards, they spent most of their time when they were not working or sleeping. In earlier years most lowcountry slaves had lived in dormitories or mud-walled huts, but gradually rude cabins clustered in quarters or settlements such as those at Liberty Hall had become the norm. They provided some privacy and the possibility for the development of some family life, but they were smoky and dark, had little or no furniture, and were poor places to visit and talk. Except when it was raining or unusually cold, the better place to gather in the mornings and evenings was outside around the fires. 3 For years Jupiter had been the driver on the Jones plantation, and as he stood by the fire warming his old bones, he knew he was the boss, the master s righthand man. When John Jones had been away in the 1790s tending to business in the state legislature, his letters to his first wife, Elizabeth, had been full of instructions to his driver: Jupiter, my dear wife, will be obliged to give the Negroes some corn before Saturday. Tell Jupiter I expect to see great matters done, as I have left everything to himself. Elizabeth had replied: Jupiter told me he had finished thrashing that stack of rice, but could not tell me how much it would turn out. And John had written: Do, my dear, speed Old Jupiter on, and tell himifhewishestodriveformehemusttaskawayandletmeseeaheapofwork done when I return, or I never will trust him again. 4 Over the following years Jupiter had kept the trust of his master and also of the men and women he lived among in the settlement. His position as driver had required a kind of tightrope performance he had to convince his master that the work of the plantation was proceeding smoothly and efficiently, and he had to demonstrate to the other slaves on the plantation that he was a buffer between them and the master. He used many strategies to walk this narrow line. No strategy, however, was more important than his cultivation within Jones of a sense of dependence. For Jones knew that without a skilled driver, Liberty Hall would be both unprofitable and also difficult to manage. 5 No one knew the settlement better than Jupiter. Born around 1740, he had come to the old Jones place, nearby Rice Hope plantation, as a young man, and there he had learned not only the skills of survival in the Georgia low country but also the ways of organizing and managing the work of a rice and Sea Island cotton plantation. With him by the fireside was his wife, Silvey, blind and feeble, who had made her way out of their cabin. They had been together many years and had with them in the settlement their sons Jupiter and Hamlet, their daughter Hannah, and their grandsons Little Jupiter, Augustus, and Prince. A few years
19 Liberty Hall 3 earlier, before Silvey was blind, John Jones had rented her to his cousin to work in a neighboring plantation kitchen. Jupiter had used all his skills to get her back to Liberty Hall, and finally Jones had consented. Make Old Jupiter go to Mr. Dowses and bring old Silvey home and set her to work, Jones had written Elizabeth Jones. Later Jones had sent a message to Jupiter: Tell him that as he has now got his wife I shall expect he will do his best for me. 6 As Jupiter looked at the others gathered around the fires, he saw many faces that he had known all his life. Old Monday and Sunbury were here, as were March, April, and May, July and September, November and December. They had all been slaves of the first John Jones and of his widow, Mary, and their names reflected practices from an African homeland. Lizzy, who had hurried off to the kitchen, had come to Liberty Hall in 1801 with her mistress Susannah. With her brother Cassius and sister Willoughby, Lizzy had belonged to Susannah only a year when their mistress married John Jones and they had all moved to Liberty Hall. Susannah s brother, John Girardeau, had willed them to his sister on his deathbed in 1800 with Dick, Paul, Sina, Sary, and little Rosetta, together with land and seven cows and calves. 7 Jupiter could see even more recent arrivals as he looked at others warming themselves before the fires, eating sweet potatoes cooked in fireplace ashes, or some hominy prepared the night before, or johnnycakes cooked on a long clean board before the morning fires. Abram, Ben, and Jim had come three seasons earlier when Jones had bought them from Captain Forester. Flora, Ishmael, and David had come the next season from Mrs. West s place. But Lucy, July, and Sanco, bought the same year, had already been sold off the plantation and had been little more than temporary laborers for a season and pawns to be moved around in the business of buying and selling slaves. 8 Of all those in the settlement, however, none were more distinctive than Fanny and her son Marcus and her handsome young daughter Elvira. Only a few seasons earlier, they had been living in Africa. Captured and brought to the coast of their native continent, they had endured the terrors of the passage to Savannah and its slave market. Carried to Liberty Hall by Jones, they were beginning the long process of learning the ways of a slave community that had for generations been creating out of bitter toils a distinct African-American culture known as Gullah. Already Marcus and Elvira were learning the Gullah dialect of the low country and its Sea Islands. In the evenings around the fires they could talk of African ways and memories, and, like so many before them, add their part to the folkways and culture of the low country. Fanny, however, was difficult to understand. She spoke one of the languages of Africa, lacked the linguistic agility of the young, and was learning only slowly a kind of Pidgin English. She did not know it
20 4 Liberty Hall yet, but for the next half-century she would bear as one of the burdens of slavery a kind of isolation as she struggled to listen to and speak a foreign language. 9 Jupiter began to assign tasks. Late March was the time to begin planting provision crops of corn and peas and, as time allowed, for tilling gardens of potatoes and arrowroot, turnips and onions. Later would come the onerous work of rice and cotton fields, but for now each full hand, whether man or woman, received the familiar task of working a quarter of an acre of provisions, while half-hands and quarter-hands were given proportionally less. As Jupiter assigned these tasks, naming the fields and the sections to be worked, he was performing a central task of a driver that had been slowly evolving in the rice-growing region of South Carolina and Georgia. Already by 1805 several generations of slave drivers had played a key role in the struggle between low-country masters and slaves to name the negotiated boundaries of a task. Masters had used the weapons of the powerful an organized military, the threats of whip, auction block, and gallows, the claims of superiority, and the styles of speech and dress that intimidate. All these they had used to push out the boundaries of a task, to demand as much work from slaves as could be squeezed out of them. Jupiter and other drivers and field hands had used the weapons of the weak foot-dragging and playing dumb, gossip that threatened the reputations of owners, and secret scorn for the pretensions of masters; and when the work was heavy and needed to get done, some had run away. All these weapons they had used to limit the boundaries of a task and to reduce the work required of a slave. 10 The quarter-acre task that Jupiter assigned to full hands on this March morning in 1805 was the outcome of this struggle between low-country masters and slaves. John Jones still liked to think that he possessed some discretionary power, that if he wished he could walk down through the morning mists into the settlement and demand a third of an acre for a task. But for Jupiter and those who stood with him, the quarter-acre task had become a right to be guarded and claimed. Indeed, low-country slaves had extended the task beyond the original rice fields to the cultivation of Sea Island cotton and provisions and to other activities. For full hands, when pounding rice, the daily task was seven mortars. When laying fencing, it was one hundred 12-foot poles. And for a pair of sawyers, the weekly task had finally been settled at 600 feet of pine or 780 feet of cypress. 11 The landscape of Liberty Hall, like that of other low-country plantations, had encouraged this task system that Jupiter managed. On large areas of the plantation the dark waters of swamps quietly and slowly swirled through forests of giant cypress and black gum and thickets of sweet bay and palmetto. These dark waters provided in cleared areas the means for rice production through an elaborate system of dams, gates, and canals. On higher ground, where the hardwoods and pine had been cut and burned, and where Jupiter and his crews had grubbed
21 Liberty Hall 5 out the stumps, Sea Island cotton grew. The task system (unlike the spreading gang system of up-country cotton plantations, with its largely sunup-to-sundown hours) meant that once a task was completed, a slave had the remaining hours of the day for working a garden or raising a pig, for fishing in the river or hunting in the swamp. Already by 1805 the slaves of Liberty County and the surrounding low country had taken advantage of after task time to develop a remarkable if limited informal economy of buying and selling. The pigs and chickens, the marsh ponies and horses, the wagons and cows that low-country slaves owned they were all the result of this task system. The Gullah culture of Jupiter and Lizzy, of Ishmael and David, of Marcus and Elvira, and of all the other descendants from the nations and tribes of Africa who gathered around low-country fires, was built upon this hard-won system and its informal economy. 12 While Jupiter was assigning tasks for the day, his son Hamlet was at the stable saddling a handsome English horse. John Jones fancied himself a kind of lowcountry Cavalier, a gentleman after the English fashion. He was, his grandson later wrote, Very fond of everything English, importing his horses, hounds, gun, watch, dueling pistols, wines, etc. His English hunting horse was a roan, an animal of large size and spirit that cost as much as a healthy young slave. Jones thought just such a horse was needed for a man of his ancestry and status. 13 His father, Major John Jones of Liberty County, had been a young South Carolina aristocrat when he came to Georgia to make his fortune. He had an indigo plantation on one of the Sea Islands, and with an expanding slave force he had seen nearby Rice Hope become a prosperous plantation. This first John Jones had been in business with his uncle, Miles Brewton of Charleston, one of the wealthiest men in all the British North American colonies. With a Brewton cousin, the first John Jones had owned warehouses and a wharf in Sunbury, the little port for the growing colony south of Savannah. And there had been other Carolina blueblood relatives: Pinckneys and Hugers, Legares and Swintons, Colcocks and Hutsons. To add to his distinction, Major Jones had become a hero of the Revolution. In the battle for Savannah in 1779, when Patriot forces were trying to retake the city from the British, he had led a charge against the Spring Hill battery, and there, wrote a historian of the state, in the fiercest and most desperate part of the contest, he was struck by a cannon-ball in the breast, and instantly killed. 14 Hamlet brought the roan to the plantation house. Jones mounted, took his silver-mounted gun, and rode down the plantation avenue that led to the gate andthesandyroadthatcutthroughlibertycountyonitswayfromsavannah down the coast to Darien. At the gate he met his two hunting companions, Colonel Daniel Stewart and James Smith. Stewart, famous for his exploits during
22 6 Liberty Hall the Revolution and the Indian wars that had raged of late in central and south Georgia, was the brother of Jones s first wife, Elizabeth. Smith was a wealthy neighbor whose plantation had been raided only a few years earlier by the Creeks whom Stewart and his cavalry had chased south to the marshes of the Altamaha River. The three men were friends and had often hunted together in the surrounding woods and swamps. 15 If Jones thought himself a kind of Cavalier figure, with his love for English ways and English goods, his two friends were part of a Puritan tradition that had found its way to the Georgia coast and established itself deep in Liberty County soil. Their ancestors had left Dorchester, England, in 1630 for Massachusetts, settling there for five years before moving on to Connecticut, where they had remained for sixty years. In 1695 a colony had left for South Carolina. There beneath great oaks and beside the black waters of the Ashley River, they had laid out their village and built their meetinghouse. As with most good Puritans, they had prospered in spite of a sickly climate so that within two generations there had been a need for new land. Commissioners had been sent to Georgia and, after some negotiations, a grant of more than thirty-one thousand acres had been secured. In this way a colony of 350 whites accompanied by their 1,500 slaves had begun in 1752 a southward trek to what would become Liberty County. 16 These Puritans were the ancestors not only of Jones s hunting companions Stewart and Smith but also of most of the white planting families of the county. They had found the Georgia coast a good place to settle and at last to put down deep roots. With adequate slave labor the rich soils had offered ample opportunity for the cultivation of rice and Sea Island cotton. Yet as God-fearing Calvinists, they had been aware of the seductions of such a wilderness, and they had immediately set about establishing an organized community. They had declared that they had a greater regard to a compact Settlement and Religious Society than future temporal advantages. We are sensible, they had written in their Articles of Incorporation, to the advantages of good order and social agreement, among any people, both for their Civil and Religious Benefit. At the time of the Revolution the patriotism of these Georgia Puritans had been so ardent that after the war their county had been renamed Liberty. 17 At the center of this Puritan community stood the church. Almost as soon as they had arrived in Georgia, the settlers had built a meetinghouse in the most central location halfway between Savannah and Darien. They named it Midway Congregational Church, although it was Presbyterian in everything but name. (All but two of their ministers were to be Presbyterians, and commissioners were sent to Presbyterian courts.) In 1792 a permanent church building had been erected. A handsome meetinghouse with cypress siding, it reflected in its elegant simplicity an ethic that would produce in this rural community a re-

Finally Over
the craziness of our holidays is finally over. It's the first day in weeks I've felt I could really relax. Anyone else happy the stress of the holidays is done?
I wish my in-laws would have stayed longer. But overall I will be happy when New Years is done. It will be nice to get back to a normal schedule.

NBC's David Gregory must have thought he had performed another gotcha on a prominent Republican Sunday when he cited a poll to his "Meet the Press" guest Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) finding people aren't interested in reducing Medicare spending in order to balance the budget.
Without skipping a beat, Ryan marvelously educated his host saying, "I don't consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be. Leaders change the polls" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: According to our polling, nearly eight in ten Americans do not want to cut spending for Medicare, even in the name of cutting the debt. You, I assume, are not doing all this as an intellectual exercise. You would actually like to get reform accomplished. […]
GREGORY: But wait a second, but that really is a dodge. You are the chairman of the committee, yes, you're serious about entitlement reform, yes. You're also a politician. You say you want to do it on your terms. Law does not become law without building political consensus, and you don't have that, and now you had a major figure in the Republican Party say this was right-wing social engineering. So, I'm wondering how much you do feel undercut in actually getting this passed, which I assume is your goal?
CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN (R-WISCONSIN): First of all, if people are describing this accurately in polls, it's far more popular than the poll you referenced. Second of all, leaders are elected to lead. I don't consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be. Leaders change the polls, and we are leading in the House. We are not seeing this kind of leadership from the President of the United States. The Senate Democrats haven't even proposed or passed a budget for 753 days and we have a budget crisis. So, yes, we are going to lead and we are going to try and move these polls and change these polls, because that's what the country wants.
I just did 19 town hall meetings, David, in a district that I work for that went for Obama, Dukakis, Clinton and Gore. People are hungry for solutions, and I really fundamentally believe that the people are way ahead of the political class and I think they're going to reward the leader who steps up to the plate and actually fixes these problems, no matter how much demagoguery, no matter how much distortion, no matter how much political parties try to scare seniors in the next election. I just don't think they're going to buy it this year and they're hungry for leaders to fix this problem before it gets out of our control.
Later in the program during the roundtable discussion, NBC's Andrea Mitchell agreed:
ANDREA MITCHELL, NBC: When he said to you that leaders change polls…
GREGORY: Yeah.
MITCHELL: …that's leadership that people are hungry for.
Indeed it is, Andrea. Indeed it is.
Suffice it to say Gregory didn't get the gotcha moment he was hoping for with this Republican guest, and that media members better bring their A game when Ryan's around.
Nicely done, Congressman. Bravo!

A website is encouraging phone users to be greener by offering cash for unwanted mobile phones. Send an unwanted handset, be them old or new and mopay promises to pay a cash sum within seven working days. What's more, the phone doesn't even need to be in full working order, though this may affect the monetary value you will receive. While an average pay out is between £20 and £30, mopay claims that people can receive up to £400 for high end mobiles.
In addition, mopay is offering a festive bonus by paying 10% more for recycled handsets, if the visitor is willing to be rewarded with Marks & Spencer vouchers rather than cash. The mopay M&S 10% festive bonus starts on 1 December and will run until the end of January.

We all typically have some procedures that cover our backups whether they are internal procedures or regulations from outside sources. I am interested to see what types of regulations are out there and how companies meet them.
What is required of you for backups and what strategies have you adopted to be compliant?
5 Replies
Jul 19, 2009 at 9:15 UTC
The big one for my company is Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).
We have to have a backup log for every day, and whenever there's a failure we have to account for it and explain what happened and what we did to remediate it.
Our logging strategy is to have the backup job email the helpdesk ticketing system when it completes. From that ticket we go to Sharepoint and log the success/failure of the different backup steps with a comment section to explain what we did to fix if there was a failure. We created a custom list for this.
On a monthly basis we take the monthly tape and restore random data from it to verify we can restore & use the data.
Jul 20, 2009 at 8:55 UTC
We have to comply with the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, known as J-SOX here in the States.
We have a nightly incremental backup that goes to our SAN, then every morning we burn the previous night's backup to a physical tape that is stored off-site. Once a month we do another complete backup.
We keep a log that shows how long the backup took, how much storage space it took, which one of us physically replaced the tapes, etc. We note what went wrong and what steps we took to prevent it from happening again if the backups fail.
Jul 20, 2009 at 1:31 UTC
We have to do complete backups here every night, to two different locations. "two buildings that are not conected"
Jul 21, 2009 at 7:33 UTC
Wow, I guess being in a small company I never really thought about it.
We need to keep 5 years of accounting records for an IRS audit. And licensing for a MS audit, but other than that I do a nightly incremental backup to take, a weekly current info backup to tape, and an archive backup (folders containing items that have not been modified in 4 years) weekly to tape.
Other than that I don't have any restrictions by law.
Now, as we are changing our infrastructure we will be changing our backup strategy to include tapes, HDDs, and backing up to a satellite office.
Jul 22, 2009 at 5:05 UTC
Ophelia GmbH & Co. KG is an IT service provider.
We need to follow several official, financial rules in germany and also some corporate rules in terms of audits and so on.
We do a full backup every night on a tape in a library. The weekly tape changes and we have additionally 11 monthly tapes and a yearly tape every year that we keep for 10 years.
Additionally we copy the most important data (accounting DB`s) via ftp to another location nearly 200 km away from here. Also a third copy is being moved every day to our NAS.
Once a week I do a restore from tape to make sure that we have access to this data.
Works pretty well and I have an email every day from my BackupExec verifying me success or failure of the backup. In my daily checklist (on paper) I check the backup result and sign it personally.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Painful is an understatement ;-) But, what's limited about them?

The 18th century saw the Durbanville Hill's first farms harvest grapes. The Tygerberg hills attracted many a traveller as a resting place and area to begin a new life. Durbanville Hills first launched wines in 2011 from the 1999 vintage and have been long-time suppliers to Distell. Their advanced cellar can handle a capacity of 8000 tons of harvested grapes using a cooling system, presses, destemmer and barrel fermentation built underground.
Durbanville Hills Wine offers a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Their Rhinofields range is named after the Renosterveld (named after the protected indigenous plants that grow in the area. They also produce a Single Vineyard Range which encompasses Durbanville Hills' limited release wine. Cellar Master Martin Moore's wines are full-bodied and even though he recommends that his wines mature for up to five years to develop fully, he produces them so they are ready to drink immediately as research shows that 84% of wines are drunk within a day of being bought.
A percentage of each bottle of wine's selling price is donated to a worker's trust which aims to improve the quality of life of employees on surrounding farms. Olive farmers are able to lease the olive orchards and net income goes to the Trust.

How to Age a Lion
August 17, 2016
August 18, 2016
The trick, I've found, is to start with the darkness of the nose. Next, check for a Mohawk if it's a male. Then tally up the scars on the face. If we're lucky and the lion is yawning, score the staining and wear of the canine teeth. And don't forget to look for a dangling lower lip. Checklist complete: we've just estimated that lion's age.
Meliyo, 4 years of age, in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
For the past year as a Postdoctoral Researcher for Panthera's Lion Program, I've been investigating lion age determination, known in plain English as: how to age lions. Though lion biologists have long used unique natural markings (like whisker spots, ear notches and scars) to identify individuals, we've lacked a precise understanding of how physical appearance changes with age.
Since an animal changes its movement, territoriality, reproduction and other behaviors as it matures, age can provide precious information about an individual animal and the wellbeing of a larger population. To pinpoint the age of an unknown lion that has wandered into your study area is to reveal that animal's life story while foreseeing its future at the same time. For managers charged with conserving lion populations in balanced ecosystems, age can be a valuable measure of a population's vital signs.
This Serengeti male's full head of mane, scarred face, dark nose and tight jaw reveals that he's 6 years old.
The key to aging a lion is knowing which physical characteristics change reliably as lions grow. And that requires tracking lions through time, as Panthera's partners have meticulously done in long-term study sites across southern and eastern Africa. Over the past few decades, in ten different landscapes, cohorts of researchers have carefully located, named, tracked and photographed hundreds of lions as they grew, from their first appearance beside their mothers as wobbly, wide-eyed 1-month-old cubs to their final years as weary and weathered 10 or 15 year olds.
Thanks to our partners' detailed recordkeeping, I've had the privilege of watching these lions grow up before me on my computer screen. Oyayai, Kakori, S93, Cecil…I've seen their naps, their meals, their matings, and watched as they raised litters of cubs and lost pride members to poachers. All the while as I flipped through the JPG files of their lives, I ranked their physical features on a sliding scale, from 1 to 5.
Six traits can be used to accurately estimate a lion's age: nose darkness, mane growth (in males), facial scarring, teeth color and wear, and jowl slackness. Due to variance between individuals, age should be estimated based on multiple characteristics.
After compiling our findings from 228 lions, we found that six traits noticeably change with age. Nose darkness is the most intriguing: lion noses develop pigment with age, morphing from bright pink to mottled grey (no one knows exactly why). Mane growth is the most obvious: males progress from bald cubs to Mohawked teens to mop-topped adults to thin-haired elders. Older lions pick up more scars as they battle for survival, and teeth increasingly stain yellow and wear down as they chew their way through life. And sometimes, a lions' lower lip sags to signal its ripe old age. Using a combination of these features, we can narrow down a lion's age into one of four age classes that correspond to different life stages.
So how well can you age a lion? Test yourself at
, our newly launched site with training materials, pocket guides and a self-test to help managers, researchers and wildlife guides boost their skills in aging lions. Improving our understanding of basic lion biology is one of the many steps necessary to properly manage, conserve and protect lions in Africa. Just remember, it's all in the nose.
