Maths & Science
The skills developed through the study of Mathematics at AS and A Level are in high demand from employers. In addition to developing the ability to solve problems and think logically, the study of Mathematics provides opportunities to develop team-working skills, resilience, effective communication of complex ideas and the ability to use your own initiative; the breadth of application is immense.
Mathematics underpins most of science, technology and engineering and is also important in areas as diverse as business, law, nutrition, sport science and psychology. It supports a wide range of other A Level subjects; Economics, Psychology, Business, Computing and Geography all benefit from students having fluent and confident numerical, algebraic, graphical and statistical skills.
AS and A Level Mathematics extend techniques covered at GCSE and introduce new methods and concepts. Both courses provide a mix of pure and applied Mathematics. Pure units include familiar topics such as Algebra, Functions and Coordinate Geometry, as well as new topics such a Sequences and Series, a wider view of Trigonometry, Calculus, Numerical methods and Vectors. Applied units cover key areas of statistics and mechanics and include topics such as statistical sampling, data presentation, probability, and modelling the motion of objects and the forces acting on them.
Further Mathematics is a second qualification that can be taken in addition to A Level Mathematics. This aims to provide an opportunity for enthusiastic mathematicians to broaden and deepen their subject knowledge. AS or A Level Further Mathematics is suitable for students who are thinking of studying for a Mathematics, Engineering, Physics or similar degree. It is also suitable for those students who simply love Mathematics and want to devote more time to studying wider aspects of the subject.
At Burgess Hill Girls AS and A Level courses in Mathematics and Further Mathematics are a popular choice. Our experienced teachers recognise the need to support the individual needs of every girl, regardless of their reasons for choosing to study these subjects. Support for girls aiming to study Mathematics at Oxbridge and other universities is offered, as well as competitions, trips and other events that aim to develop the mathematical curiosity and enthusiasm of our girls.
Biology in the Sixth Form is an in-depth exploration of key biological concepts alongside the development of practical and analytical skills. We want to inspire a love of the subject and a confidence that will enable you to progress to further scientific study or to take the skills that you have developed into other fields.
Biology is not a 'soft' or 'easy' science option at A Level. There is an expectation for students to have a breadth and depth of knowledge far beyond that seen at GCSE Level, as well as the ability to apply their understanding. The application of mathematical manipulation to investigative work also forms a key part of the course.
Year 1 of the OCR AS Level Biology A contains topics including Biological Molecules, Cell Structures and Membranes, Exchange and Transport. Year 2 of the A Level covers work on Communication, Homeostasis and Energy, Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease and Genetics and Ecosystems.
As A Level students you will be encouraged to look beyond the syllabus and deeper into aspects of Biology that particularly interest you. There will be opportunities to extend your own learning through the support of younger students in the role of a subject mentor or by assisting at extra-curricular activities, such as Science Club or Ecology Club.
There will be opportunities to develop biological understanding outside of the classroom through work with the Sussex Wildlife Trust and various field visits to exhibitions, museums and zoos. Biology in the Sixth Form gives you the opportunity to extend your intellectual curiosity and become a proficient and confident scientist with a deep understanding of a broad range of topics.
Chemistry is a great subject to study at A level and is required for acceptance into reading Medicine, Veterinary Science, Nursing and some Biology, Nutrition, Psychology and Engineering courses at university. The skills developed are highly regarded by law and accountancy firms as well as the financial services industry. Chemistry is a highly practical subject and it is a rare week when a practical is not carried out! The practical skills of planning, making risk assessments, manipulating apparatus, deriving conclusions from results and evaluating the accuracy, precision and reliability of results are all developed throughout the two year course. Chemistry involves using the mathematical skills of rearranging equations as well as using logarithms and exponents so students should feel confident in Mathematics before taking Chemistry.
The OCR A level Chemistry H432 specification modules are : Development of practical skills in chemistry, Foundations in Chemistry, Periodic table and energy, Core organic chemistry, Physical chemistry and transition elements, and Organic chemistry and analysis.
There are opportunities to act as mentors to GCSE students and to enter competitions such as the U6 Chemistry Olympiad, the L6 Cambridge Chemistry Challenge and the L6 RSC 'Young Analysts' competition.
The dictionary definition of physics is 'the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them', but what that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting.
Physicists regularly ask questions such as:
- How did the universe begin?
- Why is the sky blue?
- If that tree in the forest does fall down, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If you think these questions are fascinating, then you'll like physics.
Here at Burgess Hill Girls we study the AQA Physics AS and A Level course (7407, 7408). In the first year you will study the topics of Particles and Radiation, Waves, Mechanics and Materials and Electricity. These build on the topics you will have studied for GCSE as well as brand new branches of Physics.
In the second year you will study Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics, Electric, Gravitational and Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics and an option topic (currently Turning Points in Physics).
Have you heard of Quarks? Leptons? Baryons? What is all the fuss about the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? How can particles such as electrons have a wavelength – surely only waves have a wavelength?
Physics will introduced you to a whole new set of subatomic particles, the building blocks of matter, as well as building on the more familiar topics of Motion, Energy, Forces and Electricity.
Studying Physics will open so many doors for you; it is not all Rocket Science and Engineering. People who study physics enter a whole range of careers from Accounting to Zoology. If you are truly interested in finding out how things work, you have an interest in mathematics and are good with numbers then Physics is for you.
Psychology is currently one of the most studied and most sought after disciplines. It is fundamental to unravelling the mysteries of what makes us human and our future development. Psychologists study why people behave in the way they do and how they might be influenced by genetics, thinking or past experience.
Psychologists are at the centre of the most contested race in science at present. Following on from the successful unravelling of the human genome, global research is now trying to develop detailed maps of the human brain, its activity and its systems.
Whether a student is looking for a career in medicine or child development, business or sport, ecology or art therapy, neuroscience or Psychology itself, studying A level Psychology provides an understanding of the mind, which is an advantage for many degree courses and careers. Students develop their thinking skills and learn to 'analyse like a scientist and argue like a lawyer'. They explore tried and tested theories of behaviour right up to current scientific understanding of the brain.
The AQA course followed includes study the topics of Memory, Attachment, Social Psychology, Psychopathology, Approaches to Psychology and Research Methods in the first year. In the second year the girls study Forensic Psychology, Schizophrenia, Gender, Issues and Debates in Psychology and higher level Research Methods.
If you want to understand how humans work, develop your ability to think independently and be comfortable analysing any type of data – Psychology is the subject for you. Exciting, challenging and fundamentally important, this is a subject worth studying.

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton: Has Struggle To Have Kids Led To A Breakup?
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's relationship is reportedly over, and it's all because they've been unable to start a family of their own together, according to a new report. Will not having kids really tear them apart?!
"So much of the beginning of [Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's] relationship was spent getting excited about a baby," an insider tells Life & Style. "But things didn't work out the way either of them wanted." As HollywoodLife.com previously reported EXCLUSIVELY, Blake and Gwen wanted to have a daughter together, so Gwen could finally have the little girl she's always wanted. Now, a year and a half later, they don't have a child of their own, and the mag claims it's made a breakup inevitable.
Life & Style's sources claim that Gwen is getting ready to dump Blake because of their different lifestyles, but she's afraid to end things because of the backlash she might receive for starting a new romance so quickly after her 2015 split from Gavin Rossdale. "It's humiliating for Gwen to admit that the relationship is done," the insider says.
Blake & Gwen At Disney — PICS
However, despite these new rumors of a split, we're not convinced the relationship is are over. After all, the singers were just together on Easter (April 16), and they spent the holiday with her three sons and other family/friends. Clearly, things are pretty serious if he's still spending intimate time with the family like this! Plus, we didn't notice any weirdness between them on the live episode of The Voice April 17 and 18, either. In fact, Gwen even posted a photo to social media of them snuggling up on set.
The mag says that things aren't officially over between the two yet, but that Gwen is getting closer and closer to pulling the plug. We have faith, though, that even if this is true, they'll get through it!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Blake and Gwen are actually dunzo? Do you think they'll have kids one day?

The new 2016 summer schedule adds a further ten flights to bmi regional's already convenient timetable, cementing the airline's position as the leading choice for flexible and convenient business travel from Bristol.
Better timings to Paris
The introduction of a new evening rotation from Bristol to Paris allows greater flexibility for day trippers whether travelling to a sports match, for business or for leisure. The summer 2016 schedule offers up to twice daily flights direct from Bristol to Paris (CDG) at fares as low as £49 one way.
Enhanced connectivity via Frankfurt
The new summer schedule from Bristol to Frankfurt features three daily weekday rotations with up to twice daily rotations on weekends. All flights offer convenient morning, afternoon and evening schedules. The improvements to the existing schedule means passengers will enjoy improved connectivity with codeshare partner Lufthansa, enabling speedy links to and from a further 200 onward destinations. bmi regional fares from Bristol to Frankfurt start from £81 one way.
New double daily service to Dusseldorf
With business travel at its core, bmi regional is increasing services to Dusseldorf on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to twice daily, with the new timings meaning passengers can travel to the city and back in the same day via early morning and evening slots. Fares to Dusseldorf cost from £79 one way.
Additional Munich rotation
As one of bmi regional's most popular routes, Bristol to Munich now has a new Monday morning rotation. The new flights depart Bristol at 06.30am, arriving in Munich at 09.30, perfect for early Monday meetings. The return flight departs Munich at 10.40, arriving in Bristol at 11.40. Fares cost from £81 one way.
All fares with bmi regional include 20kg hold luggage allowance, complimentary in-flight drinks and snacks, allocated leather seating and speedy 30 minute check-ins.
Commenting on the service improvements, Chief Commercial Officer Jochen Schnadt said: "Bristol Airport is a key UK hub for bmi regional and one which we are continually growing and developing. With our convenient, comfortable and quality product we are all about connecting businesses and regions and these changes and additions to our network and schedule from the South West are a direct response to our customers' requirements for improved connectivity."
Shaun Browne, Bristol Airport's Aviation Director said: "We are delighted with bmi regional's expansion of its Bristol services. In particular the improved benefits of the additional flights to Dusseldorf which will offer a day return product on key days of the week. The new schedule on Paris Charles de Gaulle is also welcome as it provides improved connectivity for business and leisure passengers from both the UK and France."


text: You probably spend a great deal of time figuring out what you believe about God, especially when it comes to life's most difficult questions. While this is commendable, you also need to understand that you can't define God with your thoughts, words or understanding. In fact, you'll fall hopelessly short even on the very best day of your life. But that's okay. Because God ultimately is mystery. Which means the point of faith is not to figure out God; but to fully live your life in the divine mystery exploring the heart of God, experiencing the unconditional love of God, being transformed by the power of God and consciously living every second in the presence of God. It's never easy, but it's always necessary. So embrace the mystery of God today. Not as something to be figured out. But as something to spend eternity discovering.

Group launches local forumsSubmitted by sfensom
On 7 September 2015 the Co-operative Group launched a national pilot of its new 'Co-operative Local Forum' (CLF) concept in 37 places across the UK. The pilot will operate for a 6 month pilot period. The concept came from a workstream of the transitional National Member Council on 'sub national structures', and draws strongly on the 'co-operative clusters' advocated by Co-operative Springboard.
CLFs are informal, involve staff as well as customer members, and are based round a small group of stores, although this varies. The Liverpool CLF has 22 stores for example.
The Group wants each CLF to be co-ordinated by a named Member Pioneer who will receive an honorarium, roughly equivalent to the fee paid perviously to area committee members.
The Group is promoting the new CLF concept on its mini-site myco-opcommunity.co.uk.

Hannah and Tamar are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving break with their grandparents. On the long ride to Vermont, the sisters are quick to offer assistance when a fellow passenger – a girl in her late teens – is hassled by a rough-looking young man. Grateful as she may be for their help, Gwen is in no hurry to make friends, not even as she thrusts a mysterious package into Tamar's hand and disappears in the Rutland train station. Puzzled by her behavior, Hannah and Tamar set out to locate Gwen and unravel the secret of the mysterious package.
"This is a fun, clean mystery in the vein of Nancy Drew."
"This is a sweet and family oriented book. The author has an easy way of writing that I really like."
"I truly enjoyed Hannah and Tamar. Such a wholesome book, but chocked full of mystery, as well as love."

No one likes having their flight canceled.
Especially in the middle of winter, seated in a plane, waiting for take-off on the Chicago airport tarmac, a day after Christmas.
Such circumstances can be a wild card looming over any air travel, but Pat Case took the gamble. Case and her spouse were ready to taxi for four hours while waiting for a break in the weather. But no dice.
United Airlines did not get her home to Baltimore because it couldn't. Case eventually got herself to Philadelphia because she could.
So what's the good news? You'll see.
When an airline cancels a flight because of factors outside of their control, it's obligated to re-route passengers to their destination on the next available flight on any air carrier they deem appropriate, but only when conditions and seat availability allows — and that's all.
United's policy appears a bit more open to variation and flexibility than others depending on interpretation.
Unlike when a flight is canceled because of mechanical issues, throwing in ancillary expenses such as overnight accommodations and land transportation are at the discretion of the good (or bad) will of the airline agent at hand. And even that may be subject to a myriad of rules and policy complications.
Wait — what if we have to cancel? Never mind. I don't want to get you started.
Case was aware of the trials and tribulations of planning air travel during the holiday and winter season. While she waited for United to take another crack at getting her back home, they found her a seat on an earlier flight to Philadelphia.
She went for it. No time to care about the loss of economy plus seating or worry about the two-hour drive later to Baltimore.
A two-hour drive? For many, that is not that much more than a drive to their closest airport and for Case was no biggy compared to not going anywhere at all.
But what about the cost of a one-way car rental? Good luck with that.
"Several weeks later, I contacted United via their web page and requested a refund for the economy plus seating we didn't get and our car rental to get from Philly to Baltimore," said Case.
The latest U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report shows only less than one percent of United's cancellations in January 2016 (their most recent winter reporting) to be from severe weather.
So where does that leave Case? Apparently in the best of air travel hands.
"I received the seat refund promptly," she went on.
Should she go for the gold and ask again about the car rental?
While some might argue a two-hour drive is close enough to Baltimore to fulfill United's contractual obligation, Case went for it and received a nice email from Tracy Self in corporate customer care who promised to look into the car rental reimbursement.
"Later, I received a check that covered the car rental expense as well as two generous travel certificates good for 12 months," she exclaimed. "Way more than I expected!"
Just like that. Even weeks after the fact.
That kind of accommodation shouldn't be unusual. It should be routine. While we hope other airlines will note this example, maybe we can also accept just a little responsibility when we wonder why this does not happen more often.
Remember that same DOT Consumer Report? I brought it up for another reason. For January 2016, it also noted we filed 1,257 complaints — and zero compliments. Really?
Perhaps we can encourage behavior like United's, if as Case did, we take a moment to recognize a good deed — instead of only complaining.
"I recalled a recent comment in your column about United Airlines trying to improve customer service and want to give credit where it is due," Case added.
This should help.

|It's early.. I thought I'd post just for Buda since I did kind of shut her out. Not like I regret it or anything... I've been working a lot more often lately, I needed the money. I've been studying my ass off, I sent another letter to Buda even though I didn't want to. Got to study for those exams, I just called it quits for my last study session. It's boring, I hate it. The material is beyond tedious. What is there to know in order to be a wanderer? I probably don't even need college but I suppose I'll end up having to spend the rest of my life in a cube in some big office waisting my life away in front of a computer screen even though that is what I am doing now.. Haaaa. I met a girl, a girl who hates me, she basically insulted my whole being. I think I have developed a crush on her. No I wouldn't call it a crush.. I admire her but I wouldn't want to be with her. That would be a lie if I said that.. She is pretty but I prefer to spend my time alone, you only live once. I have to study anyway, no time for girls. I've been putting my all into training and learning my katas. My master says I've been more focused lately. All I can think about right now is completeing everything I have to get finished so I can relax but the more I finish the more I have to do which brings me to the question: "Will it ever end?" No..It won't. I want to get away, go live in the wilderness for awhile, the people, the buildings... I just want to throw up when I see them. -cough- Anyway.. That's that. Farewell.

Twice a year, 1 student from each URNU is given the opportunity to visit RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset for 2 weeks to complete the flying camp. The camp, which is operated by 727 Naval Air Squadron (NAS), allows students to get a taste of what it's like to fly as a member of the Fleet Air Arm. During this two weeks, students are instructed in various aeronautical subjects, including navigation and flight planning, as well as handling the aircraft and completing simple aerobatic manouvres. Time in the air is used to put into practice what the students have learnt during their ground lessons. Along side the flying camp, opportunities arise for the students to visit the other units and squadrons at the base, including Air Experience Flights in Royal Navy Sea King and Lynx helicopters.
The annual flying camps are not the only opportunity URNU students get to fly. Students from the unit have previously been given the chance to go on Air Experience Flights with squadrons and aircraft both based at Yeovilton in Somerset, and Culdrose in Cornwall. Bristol URNU also get opportunities from our affiliated unit, 829 NAS, who fly Merlin helicopters, to have experience flights with them from RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall.

Re: Lord Alexander Abernathy, Edinburgh
In reply to:
Re: Lord Alexander Abernathy, Edinburgh
John Abernat Smith 12/19/99
The Abernethy barony was passed down to Sir Hugh's son Alexander who was an avid supporter of the fight to maintain Scotland's independence from England. When Edward I became King of England Alexander changed his views and became a supporter of the English. For this he was appointed the warden of the area between the Firth of Forth and the Highlands. Alexander, under the order of King Edward II, was sent to Rome to gain the favor of the Pope against the Scots. It was a failed attempt. Scotland's King Robert Bruce then declared all of Alexander's lands to be forfeited due to Alexander's disloyalty. And, since Alexander had no male heir, all of his holdings went to his three daughters Margaret, Helen, and Mary. Margaret married the Earl of Angus. Helen married the Earl of Crawford, and Mary married the 6th Baron of Leslie, Sir Andrew. With the marriage of Sir Andrew and Mary Abernethy the Leslie's acquired the baronies of Ballinbreich and Caimey, which were some of the most important of the Abernethy estates. Also, Clan Leslie gained Abernethy and Cairney as septs to the Clan. The third son of the marriage of Sir Andrew and Mary was John. John was the direct ancestor to the Earl of Rothes.

I wish I had a tape recorder running when...
Who hasn't lamented "I wish I had a tape recorder running when..."?
I have an amazingly short memory for many things, people's stories being one of them. It's not that I don't care about what people share. I do, a lot, but if I don't write it down immediately, details start to fade and I conflate one story with another.
That is why I am so glad that I have one audio tape of my Mom and Dad, Mickie and Fred Stoe, speaking with Howard Richards about where different members of our extended families lived in the Culver and Opal City areas in the early part of the 1900s. It is so wonderful to hear their voices again.
Click here to play this audio.
It runs about half an hour and the quality is about what you would expect from an inexpensive cassette recorder with the mic on the counter. They are obviously looking at a map of the Culver/Opal City area while speaking. I don't know which map Howard Richards was using to show where the different families lived. Pickatrail.com has free topographic maps of the area that can be downloaded as PDF files.
Most of the topographic maps that I have date from the middle 1950s to the early 1960s. It would be better to use earlier land maps to find homesteads as several dams and reservoirs have been built that changed the flow of local rivers and creeks: Haystack Dam, creating Haystack Reservoir was built about 1956; Arthur R. Bowman Dam which created Prineville Reservoir in 1961; the Round Butte Dam that created Lake Billy Chinook in 1964.
A trip to one of the local historical societies should be able to produce some land maps from 1900-1950. That would make following the conversation much easier. If I find any, I will post them here.
There are several reference to aunts and uncles and cousins, but, of course, these relationships are to William or Mickie. Some of the names mentioned in this half hour tape include: Ethel and Blaine Burleigh, Sylvia Richards, Kenney, Jay Wilson, Art Richards, Aunt Hattie, Cyrus, Carl King Sr, Perry Reed and his son Jim Reed, Nellie, and Bill McCormack. I'm still trying to sort out who each person is.
So, there you have it. Enjoy!
Does anyone else have audio (or video) recordings to share? I would love to hear more stories.

Lesson learned
Today was a learning day.
I let my subscription to Ancestry.com expire...other things I wanted to spend my money on right now and they are very expensive...so I had to find other ways of continuing my genealogy research.
Family History 50 Free Genealogy Resources was a good place to start. I had bookmarked this site but hadn't actually checked it out.
I have been looking for 1910 Census records for Deschutes County, Oregon. They should have been available on Ancestry.com but I never found them. No matter how many ways I looked, those records just weren't there. You all probably see where this is heading. Deschutes County wasn't organized until 1916. Before that it was part of Crook County. I knew that many Oregon counties were reorganized over the years but I had stopped thinking and letting Ancestry.com do the work. I wasn't asking the right question and it wasn't giving any hints why I wasn't getting the results I expected.
Now that I know I should be looking in Crook County, I can't browse through Ancestry's collection. Not a problem. Archive.org came to the rescue. I did a search and found this page: Archive.org Oregon 1910 Federal Census. This gave me images of the Oregon 1910 Census in PDF format. Good news/bad news. The files are microfilm images; no index. All of a sudden I am back in the 70s searching census records image by image, but that is OK.
I will find the information I am looking for and in the process I was reminded to ask the right questions and to not stop thinking for myself just because a program makes the work easier.

A few notes on surnames
Some notes on family names.
As populations grew, it became necessary to identify people with more more than just one name. Sometime in the Middle Ages last names, surnames, became common. Often taken from occupations--Smith, Farmer, Miller--or physical attributes--Red, Long, Short (Green must have been a seasick sailor!), last names helped distinguish between Godwin the Miller and Godwin the Farmer, important distinctions when the government is out collecting taxes. As the practice of using last names grew, they became associated with families and clans, bonding individuals into identifiable groups.
In many cultures, the family name belonged to and followed the male line, with the wife assuming her husband's last name and the children of the marriage given their father's last name. This convention was far from universal, however.
Scandinavian surnames names used to be derived from their father's first name, suffixing the equivalent of son or daughter so that surnames would change from generation to generation. I don't have to go back too far in my family tree to find Ane Olava Nilsdatter, the daughter (datter) of Nils Johan Nilsen, or Johannes Olsen , son (sen) of Ole Johannesen. That naming convention changed when the Scandinavian countries passed laws requiring heritable names (consistent surnames passed from one generation to the next). Denmark passed naming laws in 1820, with Sweden following in 1901, and Norway in 1923. When required to adopt heritable surnames, families were not required to use any particular name. Many continued to use the name in use when the laws were passed, while others chose names associated with their farm, with their occupation, or whatever they felt would be a good surname. When Scandinavians immigrated to America, they were often at the mercy of the immigration officer who wrote down what ever he though he heard or what he could spell. Many immigrants also chose to Americanize there names to better fit in with their newly adopted country. For a much more in depth explanation check out What your Scandinavian name ending in son or sen means or Understanding Norwegian naming patterns.
While researching my wife Laura's Spanish heritage, I learned quite a bit about Spanish surnames and discovered that I have a lot more to learn. Surnames consist of two names, the first from the father and the second from the mother, occasionally connected with 'y' or 'e' (and). Traditionally, women did not change their names when they got married, although it has become common for the woman to suffix "de" and her husband's last name. Following form, their children's surnames would be a compound surname taken from their father and mother. Each generation the surnames would change. This method of changing surnames makes researching Spanish genealogy very difficult but once you have a person that you are sure is related and that you have the correct surname, you have a very good lead on both the father and mother. Using this form of father's first surname followed by mother's first surname, I'm pretty sure I have errors in my tree but these are the names that I have found and until finding more documentation, probably won't change them.
There are other variations to Spanish surnames. Each part of the surname can also be a compound name. An example given in a Wikipedia article:
"...the parts usually linked by the conjunction y or e (and), by the preposition de (of) or by a hyphen. For example, a person's name might be Juan Pablo Fernández de Calderón García-Iglesias, consisting of a forename (Juan Pablo), a paternal surname (Fernández de Calderón) and a maternal surname (García-Iglesias)." (Check out Widipedia's Spanish naming customs).
Typically, Spaniards do not have a middle name. Instead, everything before the surname is considered their given name, and that can be quite a lot. Unlike Scandinavian countries, Spain continues with their surname tradition and has laws specifying how surnames are implemented. There are some exceptions to the father-mother ordering of the surnames but any changes have to apply to all the children of the marriage. As Spanish populations immigrated to America, they encountered many of the same issues as other immigrants with the immigration officers not understanding or knowing how to spell the names they were told, that husband and wife didn't have the same surnames, and that Spaniards had (at least) two surnames. Usually the maternal surname was dropped; sometimes the paternal surname was mistaken for a middle name and the maternal surname became the family's surname in the US.
Post a comment if you know how other cultures did or now do surnames. Meanwhile, I am going to dig into Gaelic names and see how those differ and how they have changed over time.

Dinner For Eight
As I slouch in my recliner eating dinner while binge watching The Game of Thrones, my thoughts wander to sit-down dinners with family gathered around the table discussing how their day went and sharing their lives.
Poof! It all disappears as I drop another piece of salad in my lap. So, let's clean up the salad mess and fire up the imagination again and see who is sitting around our imaginary table.
Of course, my mother, Mickie Stoe (Ethel Maxine Spring) is right there in the middle of everything. After all, she got me started in genealogy and spent a lot of effort trying to find out about our family.
The first guests to arrive at our family dinner are David and Jean (McClure) Dinwiddie. Born in Ireland and married in Pennsylvania, thirty years before the American Revolution, David and Jean could tell us what it was like to leave not only their home but their country to settle in a far away colony across the Atlantic Ocean. If we are lucky, maybe they can remember the stories of their grandparents and how they left Scotland, willingly or unwillingly, to settle in Northern Ireland.
James H Wilson and his wife Mary (Dinwiddie) arrive next. Mary is David's and Jean's great grand daughter, but they were invited to dinner to share what motivated them to leave Indiana to face a difficult and unsure future out West and to tell us about their wagon train trip from Indiana to Oregon, filling in all the personal successes and tribulations that were not written into the Dinwiddie Trail Diary. We don't know when the Wilsons came to this country. Maybe James can share stories he heard from his parents and grandparents about their migration to America.
Our last guests are relatively late comers to the American table. Ivar Olsen and Marianne Iversdatter were married in Norway and immigrated to Oregon about 1880, bringing most, but not all of their children. How were Norwegians treated in rural Oregon. Was farming much different in Norway than in Oregon? Why did some children stay in Norway until brought over several years later?
So there is our Dinner for Eight. Not just names in our tree, but real people who at different times, pulled up roots and moved great distances to uncertain futures. Was it the lure of better farmland, religious or political freedom, or just the desire to move on to something new? How are their stories similar? How are they different? There is much to share. This dinner party will last well into the night.
Thanks for visiting.

Favorite Photo
52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks – Week 2 "Favorite Photo"
I had originally intended to write about this photo of my great-great-grandfather, Gage Spring. I don't know what happened to the original, but one day when I was setting up my scanner for more photo scans, this image was still in the scanner program cache memory. I hadn't used this scanner for a couple years. In fact it was turned off and in the closet. Recognizing the image but not remembering whether I had the image stored on my computer, I copied over the image preview of the scan and saved it. As it turned out, I did not have a copy of the image on my computer and to this day, I cannot find the original. This fuzzy image has been downloaded and linked to many ancestry trees. If anyone has the original or at least a better copy, please let me know.
Because of the story surrounding how I came by the photo of Gage Spring, this was going to be my favorite photo.
That was until I received this photo from my niece, Tammie. This is a photo album that I thought was long gone.
When my mother, Mickie, and father, Arden, were divorced and my mother remarried, almost all of my first 8 years were treated as not happening; didn't exist. My life was severely redacted. Any picture with Arden was put away or destroyed. No one talked about it.
I loved my mother's second husband, Fred. He adopted all three of her kids and was every bit "Dad" to each of us as well as our two sisters from their marriage.
But I did have a birth father and my life didn't begin when I was 8. When Tammie sent the picture of the photo album, I was so excited. It was like a bit of my childhood was being given back to me. When she brought out the album, it was almost everything I hoped for. There were still no pictures of Arden, these had been removed, but lots of pictures of mom, my older sister, Merideth "Babe", me, and my brother, Al (Blaine), and cousins.
There are very few names on the pictures so I will have some fun scanning, naming, dating, and placing the photos. There are a couple of people I don't recognize right off so cousins will have to give me a hand with the some of these.
I have a lot of photos and it is difficult to pick a favorite. Each one is special in its own way. The pictures of us three older kids is special because it was a time when we were really close to each other and I miss that. The pictures of all five of us kids and mom and dad is special because we were very much one family.
But the picture of the old photo album is my current favorite because it represents memories found and the kindness of my niece in giving me back a little be of me.

My start in genealogy
52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 1
This is the first week of the Amy Johnson Crow's challenge of writing about the results of our ancestry research. This week's challenge is titled "Start". OK, start what? I guess the best place to start is at the beginning with how I became interested in genealogy.
I got my interest in genealogy from my mother. Serious work on finding our ancestors began sometime in the early to middle 1960s after reading through a copies of the Dinwiddie Clan Records of 1902 and 1952. I was fascinated by the history of that one branch of our family. As I knew so little family history outside of my immediate family and that of my first and second cousins, I latched on to the hierarchy of the records and the historical panorama all those names represented. I just knew I was Scotch-Irish, descended from David Dinwiddie. Fast forward about 50 years and through a whole lot of technological advances and my DNA Ethnicity results show only 10% Scotch/Irish/Welsh. OK, not ready for kilt and tartans, but still, it is part of me.
Mom was a letter writer. She wrote to aunts, uncles, sisters, just about anyone she could think of to get information on more parts of the family. Unfortunately, she did not keep copies of the letters she sent, but she saved many of the letters she got back. There was love and pain in those letters–love of family but pain in remembering some of the trials and tribulations found in most families.
We learned how to use microfilm readers; what census forms looked like and what information they provided. As we gathered information, we slowly pieced a family history together. Try as we might, we never produced a coherent genealogy such as was written in the Dinwiddie Clan Records, but that was always our goal and the Clan book was the standard we tried to emulate. Mostly we got a lot of notes in pretty random order.
Computer based genealogy programs have given order to our findings. On-line database searches have mostly replaced scrolling through page after page of microfilm, but nothing can replace the spark of interest I got from my mother for finding and recording the history of our family. Although my mother is no longer with us, I think she would be amazed and pleased at what she helped start.
Welcome to my blog and Discover With Dan!
This is my first attempt at creating a blog. Please be patient as I learn and show that you can teach old dogs new tricks.
This blog was inspired by an Amy Johnson Crow blog in which she challenged people to write about the genealogy discoveries they have made. Check out her blog at https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks/.
In addition to genealogy, I will occasionally post about my other major interest, travel.

Monday, April 20th, 2009, was a Wood Horse Day - and it was just about the busiest, cheeriest, talky-est, most optimistic and fun-loving day I've experienced in a long time! It's neat to realize that Wood Horse people share these characteristics. These old Chinese wisdom systems are so 'character' based. They are thoroughly focused on virtues and also on those areas where you need 'advice,' which they offer with a wry sense of humor.
One of the things I love about 'reading' the Chinese Element/Animal portaits of my various friends (and some few selected celebrities) is that I learn more about these 'Animals' (qualities of time, space and personality). It's a fact that the people I know who have Wood Horse somewhere in their Four Pillars all do indeed share these qualities. They are very sunny, busy, sociable folks.
This is so much fun, learning a whole new way to see people and time! Even MORE FUN than all those on-line questionnaire puzzles, like 'What Kind of Fruitcake Are You?

"20th Century Women" Review ✦✦✦✦✧
Director: Mike Mills
Screenwriter: Mike Mills
Director of Photography: Sean Porter
Cast: Annette Bening, Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig
Synopsis: A single mother raising her teenage son in the late 1970s finds herself struggling to keep up with the times. Seeking a second opinion, she enlists the help of two women, one an eccentric artist, the other a promiscuous teen, who both agree to assist in the boy's upbringing.
20th Century Women Review:
A flipbook tale of shifting sensibilities and limited lifespan, "20th Century Women" tells the story of a household of individuals whose dysfunctionality becomes a testing ground for conflicting ideas. Centring on a boy's awkward transition into adulthood, the movie sees the coming together of a cancer survivor, a divorcee mother, and a quasi-girlfriend who each provide their own unique perspective on how a woman of traditional experience should nurture a child raised on punk music.
Aesthetically stimulating with subtle hints of Linklater and Kaufman, the film sympathises with an ageing mother whose house of strangers inadequately fills the void carved by her inability to grasp the significance of individuality in a contemporary world. While the movie is primarily concerned with conveying the upheaval attached to a particular chapter in American social history, Mike Mills' fascination with context adorns his screenplay with an acute awareness of his characters' past, present, and future as projected through the lens of womanhood. It's through his overarching appreciation for life's follies and foibles that Mills finds room for comedic giddiness as a trio of females linked solely through circumstance manage to create humour through their mismatched scepticism in the face of social convention.
Like a scrapbook brimming with old photographs, "20th Century Women" tells a story in framed snapshots. It's a film of moments and memories recounted by characters who gain omniscience through voiceover while their interlaced narrations transform them into a single unit of emotion, experience, and expression. Unaware of the sheer hilarity that comes with their differences, the women become both rivals and equals, each bringing to the table something unusual while on a quest to overcome life's hurdles. "20th Century Women" is both sad and uplifting, finding ways to comment on the human condition through incompatible people, places, and time periods as its characters cross paths only to later lose touch and move on with their lives.

text: A very wet Montreal greeted us for Round 7 of the Formula Challenge championship, and Mark once again showed great improvement in his ability to drive these cars, taking two fantastic 5th places in tricky conditions. I took 11th and 10th positions after being horribly off the pace here, so I will definitely take it as a positive result in the end. The level of spray and lack of grip meant this was an event of survival rather than heroics and I think we ticked all the boxes in that respect. Both of us survived and both of us finished in the points in both races giving us a satisfying result for the team. I'm delighted that Mark is beginning to show some excellent pace in Formula Challenge and I believe it's only a matter of time before he has a real chance of a win this season. Our consistency is good, and while we're not scoring heavily enough to challenge for anything, I'm extremely happy with all the effort so far.

I am looking for advice please.
I don't understand my Angel all of the time, she has introduced a new guide to me as the last guide has gone. This guide is awesome and is a lot of fun he is just fun to be around, he is charismatic and bubbly. He has told me that he is here to translate for my angel, my angel is happy with him I don't have a problem with him it all feels correct and he is far superior to the last guide she introduced.
I have been speaking to other people and they have told me that i shouldn't have any communication problems with my Angel and that this guy is a fake, I am being told that I should only listen to my Angel.
Last night in a dream I was told by my Angel what this new guides name is andI was also told that another guide will be joining him soon, she told me what her name is.(the new guide that is coming)I trust my angel implicitly even though we have communication problems.
I am confused so any thoughts would be much welcome. I am thinking about just stopping and returning to my ordinary life of justifiable sanity.

Substance Abuse Has Major Economic Impact in the Workplace | The Partnership at Drugfree.org
1 comment:
- Rehab said...
When someone begins abusing drugs or alcohol their productivity at work begins to deteriorate. Employers need to crack down on employees being drug-free. It really benefits both parties. If an employee is found to have illegal drugs in their system the employer can get a new employee that will most likely perform better and the employee can seek help for his/her drug problem.

Forestry Apprenticeship by John Keenleyside
At the age of ten John was shown Eskdale Moor and decided that he wanted to work in forestry.
After training his first job in 1946 was on the Ford and Etal Village Estate south of Berwick on Tweed, Northumberland. His first wages were £5 a month with one week's holiday a year and a 48 hour week. The Arboriculture work involves pruning trees by climbing a ladder with spiked boots and a leather strap around the trunk.
His work on the estate was ordered as follows:
year 1- sewing and planting trees in a nursery
year 2- planting and tending
year 3- thinning
year 4- felling big trees with a 4lb axe and a 6 ft cross-cut saw
year 5- working in the saw mill driven by a water wheel
year 6 and 7 Forestry Commission Training course in Glen Tress, Peebles
Year 8- Started a post with the Forestry commission in Silvicultural Research on the North Yorks Moors for the next three years.

A British insurance company sends out drones to illuminate dark areas.
In the last couple of years, flying drones – or unmanned aerial vehicles – have been improved and more advanced. Apart from military uses, they serve as free floating cameras, delivery tools, rescue helpers, racing vehicles and monitoring devices for wildlife sanctuaries.
The ability of drones to be remotely controlled by a simple smartphone app makes many functions possible. The UK insurer Direct Line now came up with the idea to equip drones with lights in order to accompany pedestrians on their way at night through dark and unsafe areas. Parks are often regarded unsafe after sun sets. Could illuminating drones be a solution to make the green lungs of the cities safer and more accessible?
The Fleetlight project consists of a fleet of drones that are responsive to an individual's movements and controlled via an app. This means that anyone within the area can order a drone via smartphone, which would then accompany the person and light the way ahead. Requesting a Fleetlight is said to be as simple and intuitive as ordering a taxi and communication can be made in real-time between the drone controls and the smartphone.
Parks and large garden areas could benefit from a technology like this. Joggers, bicyclists, dog owners, there are many people who could go out more often after dark without being afraid or getting lost.

Get to the Roots of Some Good Food
Diane Morgan tells how to use root vegetables in her book "Roots," reviewed in this article.
Member Since:
Apr 2007
A dedicated food explorer, I run two blogs. Www.EatMx.com is devoted to Mexican food and travel. Www.TableConversation.com deals with all aspects of food, wine and travel. I do the photos and develop and test the recipes for both blogs. In addition, I have written for LA Weekly and at present am writing special articles for The Los Angeles Times.
In February, 2013, my guidebook to Korean restaurants in Los Angeles was published by the Korean Food Foundation in Seoul. Writing this book entailed eating in more than 40 Korean restaurants in less than two months.
Magazine travel articles include coverage of Anaheim's Little Arabia for the Travel 100 edition of Saveur Magazine, Jan.-Feb., 2013. And an article on finding American style pies in northern Thailand for Saveur in November, 2010.
An article on a new Mexican coffee house for "The Cook's Cook," February, 2015.
I worked for many years for the Los Angeles Times food section and also wrote for the Travel section, Sunday magazine, Calendar and Business sections. In 2004, I won a James Beard award for an article on mezcal in Oaxaca, and before that was nominated for a Beard award for an article on cooking with Chinese medicinal herbs.
I have written five cookbooks: "Cooking California Style" and "Good Bread," both published by Macmillan; "Mexican Cookery" published in two editions by HP Books; "Barbara Hansen's "Taste of Southeast Asia," published by HP, and "Southeast Asian Cooking," published by Fisher Books.
I travel as frequently as possible, to such places as Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru as well as destinations in South and Southeast Asia. And I have studied Spanish, Thai and Korean languages and use these in my work.
I am a member of the LA Wine Writers and write extensively about wine. At home, my cooking is almost totally ethnic, a way to travel at the table.

School districts and municipalities often accept form agreements provided by their design professional or consultants, or use a standardized set of construction contract documents (such as the American Institute of Architects (AIA) documents) for their public construction projects.
It is important to remember that these forms were created with the design and construction professional in mind, so they always deserve careful review by your attorney (if they are knowledgeable in construction law.) The contracts typically require some modifications to protect the interests of the school or municipality which is the project owner. The most common oversights we find in these agreements are the following:
Time Limitations on Claims
Most states have established statutes of limitations on claims. Pennsylvania statutory law and case law on these time limits statutes, recognizes a legal doctrine known as nullum tempus occurrit regi ("no time runs against the king"), providing that public entities, such as school districts, are not subject to statutes of limitation.
However, standardized construction-related agreements generally include provisions that establish time limits for initiation of claims by the parties. That works against a public entity because the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has held that contractual time limits result in the waiver of the nullem tempus doctrine. Consequently, a public entity's failure to modify these claim limitation provisions can result in defeating a claim for defects in design or construction which are not immediately identifiable.
Dispute Resolution: Is Arbitration Always Wrong?
Standardized construction agreements typically provide for submission of disputes to binding arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. It is common for a school district or municipal solicitor to delete such provisions, resulting in all disputes requiring litigation in courts.
However, construction disputes come in broad variety. A claim that involves complex engineering issues or the concurrent interpretation of project drawings and related technical specifications may be more suitable for adjudication by a construction industry professional in arbitration rather than by a jury whose members have no construction knowledge or experience. Dispute resolution provisions should be reviewed with consideration of nature and the array of claims that may arise.
Ambiguous Terms: What is Reasonable?
Parties sometimes resort to imprecise terms to describe obligations when drafting contract terms,. The parties may express mutual understanding of the intended parameters of terms such as "reasonable," "usual" or "customary" in the context of amicable negotiations at the onset of the project, but once problems arise during construction, parties invariably have different opinions of what these indefinite terms require. Contractual obligations should be as clearly stated and defined as is possible to minimize disputes and to avoid litigation.

In this interview, recorded at the SocRel 2017 Annual Conference, Professor James Spickard talks about his latest project. Starting with a critique of North American sociology's approach to religion, Spickard emphasises how our concepts of religion are historically grounded, arising from a particular time and place. How can we remedy this, and how can we look at our own concepts more critically and reflexively?
On the one hand, many scholars in religious studies rightfully state that much work has been done on religion and space, and, on the other hand, many anthropologists (including myself) still feel confident claiming that there is a dearth of work on this topic.
Area 51, Ancient Aliens, endemic child abuse at the BBC, and Reptilians,… This interview begins with David's own journey to this research field, before considering some basic questions such as "what is a conspiracy theory?"
White's research, in conjunction with my own and others', calls into question a theoretical assumption held by many CSR scholars that the body plays a negligible role in beliefs about supernatural agents.
Perhaps my greatest argument against 'non-religion' has been based on the notion that it stands as a relational umbrella…
Fedele emphasizes that an academic researcher must acknowledge the power issues present in a researcher-interviewee relationship: the academic doesn't know everything, nor is the participant ignorant.
in this interview, we discuss Jenny Butler's work on Paganism in Ireland, the impact of that particular context upon the Paganism/s she has researched – particularly in terms of language, mythology, and the natural landscape – and also some of the issues associated with the academic study of Paganism in general.
Essentially, Kripal calls out the religious studies world for not having a sufficient appreciation of the power of imagination and invites scholars and the interested public into a new comparativism that moves away from strict materialism.
The idea for this roundtable was that it would follow on directly from this week's interview on religion and literature, but expand the discussion to cover a variety of points relating to narrative, autobiography and (auto)ethnography in the study of religion. Featuring Dr Wendy Dossett, Prof. Elaine Graham, Dr Dawn Llewellyn, Ethan Quillen, and Dr Alana Vincent.
How can studying literature help us to study religion? And what the question even mean? In this interview, Alana Vincent, Lecturer in Jewish Studies at the University of Chester, sets out some of the interesting intersections of these two fields. We can glean ethnographic or historical detail from literary works, and
For Brazil's "killable people", there are two prevalent ways to deal with the relative hell of prison – both involving allegiance and devotion. You can give your life to the gang or give your life to God. Only three types of people dare to venture into the heart of a Minas Gerais prison: the condemned, the pentecostal pastors leading the prison ministry, and curiously brave sociologists such as Dr. Andrew Johnson.
It's dark outside. The moon hangs in the sky and the soft smell of smoke permeates the warm air as it stings your eyes. Looking down, you notice the glow from burning coals, as hot as 535 degrees C, scattered on the ground below. When Saint Constantine calls you to become a firewalker – you answer – at least if you are one of the Anastenaria.
"Pretty much unprepared for the sensory feast of a Santo Daime ritual, I was visually struck by the colourful 'uniforms' and brightly decorated ceremonial space. The strongly rhythmical and fervently sung 'hymns' also made an impact, as did the powerful smell and bitter taste of the religious sacrament which practitioners call 'Daime'. A psychoactive beverage more commonly known as 'ayahuasca', the sacrament of Daime and its psychotropic effects further added to the intense sensory stimulation which abides as an enduring memory of my earliest encounter with Santo Daime."
This week we bring you an interview with Chris Silver speaking to Professor Michel Desjardins of Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada, on the topic of Religion and Food. Connections are made with recent turns in the academic study of religion (gender, materiality etc.), and other areas of study such as religion and nutrition/health. This wide ranging interview builds a strong case for greater scholarly attention to be focused upon this more quotidian aspect of human life, with some stimulating anecdotes and methodological considerations along the way, We are not responsible for any over-eating which may occur as a result of listening to this tantalizing interview…
What do we talk about when we talk about religion? What do we recognize as essential and specific to any given faith, and why? In this lecture, I address these questions by drawing on fieldwork among humanists in Britain, paying particular attention to humanism's relation to Christianity.

Cadet Area
Cadet Teams
Color Guard
Army Reserve Officer Training Corps enables students to enroll in elective leadership and military courses at colleges and universities in addition to their required courses.
Being part of the Cadet Color Guard gives the Cadet the insight into how to properly present the National Colors for selected events throughout the school year. The Color Guard consists of four to five highly motivated Cadets that take pride in the presentation of the National Colors at many events.
This highly specialized team protects and displays the United States colors along with the Texas State Flag. To become part of this dedicated group of Cadets you must be willing to learn and understand the fundamental movements of Drill and Ceremony, time to practice and participate in the various events for which we present the colors.
The Javelina Battalion welcomes anyone to volunteer and become part of the Color Guard. Those cadets that perform the best during practices will be selected to represent the Battalion at the various events the color guard will perform at. They have presented at AT&T Stadium, TAMUK Athletic Events, formal dinners, awards ceremonies, commissioning ceremony and other events within the community.
Cannon Team
The Javelina Battalion cannon team is responsible for a tradition here at TAMUK dating back to the 80's. The Firing of "Old Smokey" is a privilege held by 5 cadets who volunteer their time to fire the cannon at every home football game and special events. Previous cannon teams have fired Old Smokey at multiple military ceremonies ranging from Kingsville, TX to the Lyford, TX. So if you think you got what it takes to be part of tradition, try out for the cannon detail.
Ranger Challenge
The Javelina A CO Ranger Challenge Team is a Team comprised of 11 handpicked Cadets that will represent TAMUK at the Ranger Challenge competition in mid-October. This is a Varsity level team that requires physical strength, mental agility, and dedication. Candidates will be chosen based on APFT Score, GPA, and dedication to the program. Candidates will then participate in rigorous PT Sessions and a series of test to determine their domain knowledge. On the first week of October a list of those who have made the official team will be posted. Only 9 Cadets will compete, with 2 substitutes, against Universities in our Brigade. This rigorous competition will include an APFT, 10K Ruck March, weapons disassembly and reassembly, first aid, grenade toss, Land Navigation, and various other challenges. Javelina A CO Ranger Challenge Teams in the past have one 1st place Male team 2009, 3rd place Co-ed team 2009, 2nd highest individual APFT score 2012, and 2nd place Co-ed team 2012.
Cadet Detail
Guidon Bearer
The Guidon is a part of Military tradition dating back to the Roman Legions. The Roman legions were said to have fought fiercely to protect their guidons. Guidon bearers would fight to the death rather than face the disgrace of allowing their guidon to fall.
The privilege of being the Javelina A CO Guidon Bearer will go to the MSI with the highest APFT Score. The Guidon Bearer will stand and perform drill and ceremony in front of the Company Formation.
Parking Detail
The Javelina ROTC conducts Parking Detail at all home games. The monies raised are used for the end of the year Military Ball. The cadets volunteer for time slots to collect money and direct traffic in and out of the parking lot. ROTC has a tent set up at the tailgate where food and drinks will be available to all ROTC Cadets working detail.
VFW Fill the Helmet
The Javelina ROTC conducts the Fill the Helmet fundraiser in order to raise money for the VFW once a semester. The ROTC cadets feel that is important to volunteer and give back to the Kingsville community and our veterans. During Fill the Helmet Cadets collect donations from members of the community at several locations in Kingsville.
Flag Detail
Corps Cadets are responsible for the revelry and retreat of the flag. "Reveille" and "Retreat" ceremonies serve a twofold purpose. They signal the beginning and ending of the official duty day and serve as ceremonies for paying respect to the flag and those who serve it. Both ceremonies constitute a dignified homage to our national flag from its raising in the morning to its lowering in the evening.
Recruiting Detail
At any point in time a Cadet maybe called out to participate in a recruiting event. It is essential that Cadets show their full participation and enthusiasm at these events for this is where we meet and encourage our future fellow Cadets to be a part of our distinguished ROTC program.
Additional Activities
Below is a list of activities that our Cadets participate in annually. These events are not associated with Javelina ROTC and Cadets must receive permission to participate if they will be conducting training during the winter or summer break.

Hi Gurus..
I am trying to use SRM 4.0
While trying to create a bid in the opeational procurement Tab
I am getting the error "Business partner xxxxxxxx does not have any relationships".
I had imported the vendor from the back end ERP to the vendor node .
I have also run the synchonization in the SPRO for vendors.
I am checked whatever i could .. The Vendor is assigned to the main vendor node which in turn is created under the company code node.
Am i missing any settings . Do we need to assign the vendors seperately ?
Can anyone give some input on this.
