The Kelsey Family
As isolated as the frontier of west central Missouri was in the late 1830's it must have been too crowded for the Kelsey brothers David, Benjamin, Samuel and Andrew who settled in the Hoffman Bend area. Samuel (not known if Sr. or Jr. was elected J.P. in Rives County in 1835.) Samuel Sr., Andrew, Benjamin, David and Samuel Jr. all entered their federal land in the same section in what became St. Clair County. Rough and contentious, the brothers had trouble with authorities in Missouri and in California where they later became early pioneers.
The family was considered shrewd and inclined to make the most of their opportunities. This caused some feeling among the neighbors. They were charged with trying to secure the pre-emption claims of some of their neighbors and they were invited to leave. Soon after this the Kelsos emigrated up the river.[1] {This family lived just north of Roscoe on the Osage River.}
This charge of attempting to secure the rights of preemption from their neighbors resulting in an 1841 lawsuit in Henry County against Andrew Kelsey and Charles Beale. Two years later both men headed for Oregon in Jesse Applegate's Cow Column.
In 1838 Samuel Kelsey was indicted by the state of Missouri with assault with intent to kill. He was called but defaulted as did his securities Samuel Kelsey, Sr. and Andrew Kelsey. His attorney appeared at the next term and in November of 1838, the court again indicted Samuel Jr. with assault with intent to commit manslaughter. He appeared at that time and moved to quash the indictment. The court agreed.
Only David appears on the 1840 census in Missouri as head of household. He was enumerated in Rives County, p. 368 as David "Kelso" with 1 male 5-10, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 80-90; 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 30-40.
David may have stayed behind when Andrew and Benjamin headed to California in 1841 as he had was maintaining their father, likely Samuel Kelsey, Sr., the male 80-90 in David's household. Perhaps Samuel Sr. then died leaving David free to take his family west. Except for the following marriage records, the Kelsey's then drop out of Missouri records:
Samuel Kesley m. in Cole Co. 5 March 1835 Lucretia Applegate.
Andrew m. 18 June 1839 in Henry Co., Mary Kelsey
Benjamin Kelsey m. in Henry County, Missouri 25 October 1838, Nancy Roberts.
Andrew Kelsey b. ca. 1819? in Kentucky; d. 1849 near Clear Lake California. He went with his brothers to California in 1841 and went to Oregon in 1843, probably to join his brother David. He returned to California in 1844. In 1847, he gained privilege of grazing their cattle near Clair Lake. He and Charles Stone scorned the use of conciliatory methods with "Injuns and such varmint' and were both killed in 1849.[2] One version of the incident follows:
In the fall of 1849 when Stone and Kelsey were away with the vaqueros, attending to their cattle one da.. [an Indian] squaw poured water into their guns. The next morning some of the Indians made a charge on the house. Kelsey was killed outright with an arrow shot through the window. Stone escaped upstairs and on the Indians rushing up after him, jumped out of an upper window, ran to the creek and hid in a clump of willows...An old Indiana found him and killed him with a blow of a rock on the head.[3]
In the 1860s when a town was established not far from the adobe that Kelsey and Stone built, it was named Kelseyville in his honor, as was Kelsey Creek.[4] Although Andrew was thought to be a bachelor by California historians, he probably did marry Mary Kelsey in Missouri, but she may have died soon after. There were apparently no surviving children.
Benjamin Kelsey b. ca. 1813 in Kentucky; d. February 1888 in Los Angeles, California m. 1838 Nancy Roberts b. 1823 in Barren Co. Kentucky. Moved to Jackson Co. Missouri in 1826. In Nancy became famous as the first American woman to go to California by the direct overland route.[5] She d. 1896 of face cancer in California. She is bd. at the head of Cottonwood Canyon.
They called Napa Valley their home from 1845 and were known as rough men often in trouble with the authorities. Although Benjamin did not live at Clear Lake, his treatment of the Indians in the gold mines did much to provoke the killing of his brother Andrew.
Afterward Benjamin and his family were said to have moved briefly to Humboldt County and then to Oregon from 1851-1855. Later, they went to Mexico and Texas for Benjamin's health. They were in various parts of southern California between 1860-1878 but finally returned to California living first in Lompoc, then Fresno, then Inyo County and finally Los Angeles. After her husband's death, he lived in a remote cabin in the shadow of the Cuyama Mountains. Her recollections have been published several places, most recently in Nunis, pp. 196-199. [See San Francisco Examiner February 5, 1893, p. 19 cls. 6-7.]
i. Mary Ann Kelsey b. ca. 1839 in Missouri 40; road in front of her mother on the overland crossing to California.

iv. Mary Kelsey b. ca. 1847 scalped by the Indians at age 13 when the family was travling south in 1859. She recovered, however, and died in Fresno five years later.[6]
v. Nancy Kelsey b. ca. 14 February 1851 m. John W. Clanton in Inyo Co. and d. 28 May 1958 [see Sacramento Bee 22 Feb. 1941, p. 20, cl 2; May 31 1948 [sic] p. 13 cl. 2.
David Kelsey b. ca. 1800 d. 1845 of small pox at Stockton, California m.
He first went to Oregon with Applegate, but joined his brother Andrew's upon his return to California in 1844. He settled at French Camp, San Joaquin County. It was soon after the settlement that David contracted small pox from which he died and which left his wife blind. She died shortly afterwards.
i. Rebecca Kelsey b. ca. 1822 m. (1) Fowler and left him. (2) by Sutter in December of 1845 Grove Cook.
ii. Josephine Kelsey b. ca. 1826 d. Stockton 1871 m. Dr. C. Grantham.
iii. America Kelsey b. m. 7 August 1846 at Sutter's Fort, California George F. Wyman.
iv. Frances Kelsey b. 1826 possibly in Missouri m. 1844 Willard J. Buzzell. He was a native of France and a seaman on a whaling vessel. While the ship was moored at Half Moon Bay, California, he and a companion deserted and W.J. became a trapper in the coastal mountains. After meeting Captain Weber at San Jose, W.J. Buzzel joined him in business and moved to Stockton.[8]
Samuel Kelsey b. ca. 1816 in Indiana – he was prominent in the Bear revolt in California and a signer of the original proclamation of 14 June {year unk}. He was with Benjamin and Andrew on the Bidwell-Bartleson train, but had Soda Springs decided to go to Oregon. He joined his brothers in California in 1844.[9] He is said by Nunis to have had a wife and five children.
Morgan County: John Sutherland Madole b. ca. 1821 d. 1905 m. Isabelle Kelsay b. ca. 1818 d. 1879. They had daughter Elizabeth who married Warner Howser Kays. (see his entry for source) John and Isabelle were living in Morgan County in 1850. Both born in Kentucky . Had sons Samuel and Hugh.
One William E. Taylor (prob. res/o Polk Co early 1840's) loaned $$ Samuel Kelsay money in 1846 at Sonoma California. Taylor kept a diary of his overland migration in 1846 which is in the Sutter Fort Historical Monument collection.
George Stuart in The California Trail p. 29 Andrew Kelsey obtained grazing rights near Clear Lake California. Being the dominant character that he was he subjected the local Indians to what amounted to slavery. In 1849, they killed him and as was the custom of the time were slaughtered punitively. Benjamin showed the same attitude toward the Indians, but did not suffer the same fate. He shows up in the records of Oregon, Texas and southern California. In 1861, one of his daughters was scalped by Commanches in Texas.

Brother Moses' son John Kelsay all due on certain bond. Brother William Kelsay and brother-in-law Henry Nelson Exrs.
It is suspected that the John Kelsey named in this will is the Revolutionary War soldier that died in Cooper County Missouri in October 1830, age 85 years. He was probably the 80-90 year old living with Alexander Kelsey in Cooper Co, p. 200. His household consisted of 2 males under 5, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30 (James? who married his cousin Martha?) 1 male 40-50; 1 male 80-90; 1 female 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 30-40, 1 female 80-90.

The family configuration remains problematic. The Oregon family believes that David is the father of the group who headed west, but do not know his father. An undocumented family group sheet gives Samuel Kelsey as son of Samuel Kelsey, Sr. and Sarah Williams. She was the second wife and is also said to be the mother of Andrew and Benjamin. Samuel's first wife was Annie Thornton and by the first marriage bore Peggy, Jenney and Annie Kelsey who married Abner Hobbs. They were living in Barry County Missouri in 1840 p. 32 with 4 minor males, 1 male 40-50; four minor females, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 30-40.

For the same reasons many Marlins fans were confused about why Logan Morrison was traded, President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill knew he would be an attractive commodity. He was a touted prospect, still just 26, and for the first time in three years Morrison is coming off a knee surgery-free offseason.
So why did the Marlins opt to sign Garrett Jones and deal Morrison to the Seattle Mariners for hard-throwing right-handed reliever Carter Capps?
"That's a fair question," said Hill, after the deal was officially announced Friday. "It's something we went back and forth with this offseason. We really haven't seen a productive LoMo since 2011 when he hit 23 home runs. Ultimately, we felt as a group we needed to upgrade, that six home runs and 36 RBI, it just wasn't going to get us where we wanted to go.
"There's no question there's still a ton of potential there, but we wanted to go with a more proven, consistent player. Once we made that decision we went to work on trying to find the best fit to help our ball club. With Carter Capps you're talking about a highly coveted arm, something that's not readily available unless you're giving up talent in return."
The Marlins were open to using Morrison as a means of addressing their third base opening. Hill didn't find a suitable match. The goal was to get back a piece that would immediately help the big league team.
Capps, 23, is a late-inning reliever out of central casting. His fastball sits in the mid- to upper-90s and has touched 102. He complements it with a hard slider and developing change. Since making his major league debut on Aug. 3, 2012, Capps' numbers haven't been eye-popping: a 3-3 record, 5.04 ERA with 34 walks and 94 strikeouts in 84 innings. Last season's ERA was 5.49 in 59 innings.

Mayoral campaigns get crazy in final days of February
Denver mayoral candidates are making a last-minute push to gather contributions before today's deadline for the month of February as well as collecting signatures before next week's deadline for petitions to be confirmed.
In years past, February has typically been a tough fund-raising month because it is a shorter month and with at least one federal holiday.
In the 2003 election, eventual winner John Hickenlooper was third in February fund-raising, collecting $134,614, including a loan to himself on Feb. 28. Former public safety manager Ari Zavaras was tops in February, netting $138,014, and former city auditor Don Mares was second with $135,256.
Candidates in this election also are hustling to get at least 300 verified signatures from Denver voters in order to appear on the May 3 mail-in ballot. In 2003, 10 candidates had filed paperwork saying they intended to run but only seven got enough signatures to appear on that year's ballot. Eventually, the runoff was between Hickenlooper and Mares.
In this year's election, there are currently 18 candidates who have said they are running for mayor, although one candidate appears to have dropped out. Spesal Flanagan has not picked up petitions yet. It will be unlikely for that person to collect the required signatures, leaving the realistic total of 17 candidates.
One of them, Mark Gruber, submitted his paperwork in the middle of the month, saying that he intends to run. We have written about him before in our newspaper.
Gruber, a self-described Hebrew teacher who was a regular visitor at the state Capitol, was arrested in April 2009 after several run-ins with the Colorado State Patrol and complaints from lawmakers on charges of harassment, public building trespass and interference.
Our columnist Bill Johnson also wrote about him after he was attacked in Civic Center Park.
Gruber also sued The Denver Post over the story about his arrest. The judge threw it out and now Gruber is appealing.

''In the Freud Archives'' is Janet Malcolm's second book about Freudian psychoanalysis. In her previous book, ''Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession,'' Malcolm recalled the heyday of the discipline, the 1950s, when with unlimited optimism analysis reached out to every kind of human disorder. In the 1960s government-funded clinics made analysis accessible to almost everyone, and analysts talked about improving the health of society as a whole.
But in the '70s both the money and the optimism ran out. Today analysts acknowledge that at least as many treatments fail as succeed, and success has been more modestly defined. Most analysts won't treat the severely ill, and most prefer educated patients to uneducated ones. The average analysis takes six to eight years, 11 months a year, five days a week. Many analysts have begun to rely on antidepressant drugs to effect the ''cure'' their method promises. And other, less severe kinds of therapy have eroded the supremacy of Freudian analysis.
Having devastated the profession in her last book, Malcolm now proceeds to take on the analysts themselves. ''In the Freud Archives'' is a fascinating account of intrigue and imbroglio within the secretive psychoanalytical establishment.
The story begins in 1974 when Jeffrey Masson, a 33-year-old Sanskrit scholar who had decided in his brash way to become a psychoanalyst, met Kurt Eissler, secretary of the Freud Archives and one of the most respected psychoanalysts in the world. Masson's wit and energy captivated the diffident Eissler, who soon came to love the younger man as a son. He showered Masson with favors, the biggest of which was to persuade Anna, Freud's daughter, to show Masson some unpublished letters that her father wrote to his friend Fliess in 1897. Eissler would soon regret his generosity.
1897 was a breakthrough year for Freud. Up to that point he had believed his neurotic patients when they told him, as most did, that their parents had seduced them as children. His ''seduction theory'' simply stated that parental abuse is at the root of most forms of hysteria. But in 1897 Freud began to suspect that these tales of incest were fantasies, not real experiences. His search for an explanation led him away from the social reality of parental cruelty, toward the ''psychic reality'' of the unconscious mind. The Oedipus complex soon followed, and psychoanalysis was born.
One of the 1897 letters suggested to Masson that Freud had it right the first time, and that he knew it. His suppression of the seduction theory was in fact, said Masson, a cowardly and dishonest retreat from the miseries of the real world, and the main reason that present-day psychoanalysis is so ineffectual. Masson turned his ideas into a book, ''The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory,'' published amid a blaze of controversy last winter.
True, Freud's reasons for discarding the seduction theory were less than scientific. But then the unconscious was never a scientific discovery in the sense that, say, DNA, the genetic building block, was. Freud used metaphors like ''psychic reality'' and ''dream-life'' that his followers have taken literally, and he made mistakes - they're plentiful in the Fliess letters - that his idolaters, like Eissler, have tried to cover up. If the Freudian establishment weren't so inflexible, its antagonists, like Masson, wouldn't be so hyperbolic.
But it remains to be seen whether classical Freudian analysis, in the hands of such obstinate, eccentric practitioners, will survive. All analysts are in analysis themselves (that was one of Freud's commandments), and many of them are analyzed by doctors who are their superiors within the psychoanalytic hierarchy. The fears and desires that are unleashed in analysis get confused with professional relationships outside of analysis, to the point where the analysts start acting crazier than the people they're supposed to cure. ''In the Freud Archives'' brilliantly and vividly illustrates the perils of the profession.

Alex Salmond slammed over 'sexist' joke at Edinburgh Fringe show
The former SNP leader is refusing to apologise.
Alex Salmond has been urged to apologise after he appeared to joke about having sex with leading female politicians – including Nicola Sturgeon.
The former SNP leader – who lost his seat at the general election in June – told the bawdy gag at the opening performance of his one-man show at the Edinburgh Fringe yesterday.
He said: "I promised you today we'd either have Theresa May, or Nicola Sturgeon, or Ruth Davidson, or Melania Trump, but I couldn't make any of these wonderful women come."
Following a drum roll, Salmond added: "To the show."
Fringe-goers are paying £22.50 for a ticket to Alex Salmond Unleashed.
But Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: "It would be wrong to laugh these comments off as a bit of banter, this is a former first minister degrading female politicians. Alex Salmond should know that comments like these are simply unacceptable and he should apologise.
"It would set a horrendous example to young men if he tries to hide behind these sexist comments as risque humour."
A spokesman for Salmond told The Herald he would not apologise.
He said: "Don't be absurd. They are green at the gills. Scottish Labour are just miffed they didn't get a mention. They should enter into the spirit of the Fringe. It's the Edinburgh Fringe we are at, not fringe politics with Labour."
Ironically, the Scottish First Minister yesterday waded into a sexism row after she condemned Clarks for a range of school shoe designs called "Dolly Babe" for girls and "Leader" for boys.

It would be easy to think that you're "tripping" when looking at the Keidos tiles. These unique floor covers were designed by the Spanish-based MUT Design. The psychedelic design of the tiles was inspired by the images seen through a kaleidoscope. That certainly explains a lot.
Although the tiles may look all different when placed on the floor next to one another, there are actually only four different designs that make up the set. However, these four different designs can be mixed and matched when laid down, more or less ensuring that no two floors made using Keidos tiles will ever look alike. The tiles are not a concept design; they're actually in production and are being produced by Entic designs.

This past weekend was one of the rare ones for me, where I don't have a million things to do. I had already cleaned the place from top to bottom, so instead of leaping out of bed to start bleaching the tub or tackle a sinks worth of dishes, I got to lay around and enjoy the rare sound of rain outside. And what better way to lounge than in a pair of cozy socks.
These socks are by a rad company called Sole Options, and I'm sort of in love with how wacky they are. Stripes + bold prints, and even a pair with succulents on them! So totally me. If you want to order a pair (or 10) for yourself, use the code FAWN at checkout for 20% off. You'll thank me later.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is charged with protecting the taxpayers of Wisconsin by preventing and detecting waste, fraud, and abuse of public assistance programs such as Medicaid, FoodShare, and Family Care. The Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was established by Governor Walker in October 2011. Led by Inspector General Anthony Baize, the OIG consolidates all Department of Health Services program integrity, audit and fraud investigation activities within one office. Staff within the OIG work closely with other state and local partners in identifying misuses of public assistance funds, and where appropriate, forward fraud cases to federal, state and local officials for prosecution.
Programs and Services within the Office of Inspector General
The OIG encourages the public to report any fraudulent use of public assistance dollars through its fraud hotline, 1-877-865-3432, or on this web page. The OIG monitors these contacts and reports monthly on the results of these public contacts.
Every month the OIG measures a number of key statistics, including projected cost avoidance and overpayments established.
In July 2017, the OIG issued its 2016 Annual Report, which shows fraud prevention and detection savings, including overpayments established and cost avoidance topped $150 million since the creation of the OIG in 2011, including a record $51 million in 2016 alone. This comprehensive report also describes the history of the OIG and highlights some of its accomplishments from 2011 through 2016.
Monitor and audit providers who participate in Wisconsin Medicaid
The OIG is responsible for the prevention and detection of provider fraud, waste and abuse in Wisconsin's Medicaid program. These responsibilities are carried out by the Medical and Program Audit Review Sections which are responsible for auditing Medicaid providers to ensure compliance with Medicaid rules and regulations; reviewing, monitoring, and researching provider billing to detect and identify potential fraud, waste, and abuse; investigating allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse; providing education and technical assistance to the provider community through the audit activities; and recommending new policies, or changes to existing policies, that promote and protect the Medicaid program.
Monitor, investigate and refer recipient fraud and retailer fraud allegations
The Fraud Investigation, Recovery and Enforcement Section in the OIG is responsible for monitoring, investigating and referring allegations of recipient and retailer fraud in Department of Health Services programs, including BadgerCare, Wisconsin Medicaid, FoodShare and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
Perform independent, objective assurance and consulting engagements for DHS programs and operations
The Internal Audit Section within the OIG performs independent, objective assurance and consulting activities designed to add value and improve the Department's operations. It helps the Department accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate the effectiveness of risk management, internal control, and governance processes. Internal Audit does not assume any operational or program responsibility.
Collaborate with other states and the federal government to detect and avoid issuing duplicate benefits
OIG uses the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS), which is a federal database matching recipients of public assistance from across the nation to determine if they may be receiving duplicate benefits in two or more states. OIG PARIS staff verifies this information and when we confirm an individual received duplicate benefits we then determine any overpayment amount and may disqualify the individual from the program according to policy.
Work closely with partners and other states to identify misuse of public assistance funds
Staff within the OIG work closely with other state and local partners in identifying misuses of public assistance funds, and where appropriate, forward fraud cases to federal, state and local officials for prosecution.

The appx BANG! applications have all been developed with APPX, an innovative rapid application development (RAD) utility. To customize the applications, you will need to learn to use the APPX design environment. The APPX utility is based on a concept referred to as "design by specification". This means that you "program" an application by specifying what you want it to do. Designing with APPX is as easy as "filling in the blanks" on a form. APPX does the rest! Best of all, you won't need to learn C, Perl, PHP, Java or any other traditional programming languages. APPX is a complete development environment capable of designing full-featured business applications. Once you learn your way around, you will find that the APPX design environment makes it easy to modify and enhance the appx BANG! applications.
Before you attempt to make changes to the appx BANG! applications, you should first learn a little bit about how to design applications with APPX. The Prospect Management System demo application was installed on your system when you installed APPX. You can run the Prospect Management System demo from the APPX Utility menu by selecting "Run an Application" and entering "DMO" when prompted for the Database ID. The Prospect Management System Runtime Demo Guide will provide you with all the information you need to successfully run the Prospect Management System runtime demo. It contains useful information relating to the APPX Runtime environment and steps you through the various components of the Prospect Management System. You may either print it or view it on line. After you become familiar with running the Prospect Management System demo application, you will then be ready to try your hand at making a few changes to the application. The Application Design Demo Guide will help to familiarize you with the APPX design environment and will demonstrate how easy it is to make changes to an existing application such as the Prospect Managment System.
If the prospect of customizing the applications yourself is a bit daunting, you may want to consider contracting with APPX Software, Inc. or one of our authorized resellers for any changes that you may need. Experienced consultants are available for a reasonable fee. APPX training classes are also held on a regular basis at the corporate office of APPX Software, Inc. in Jacksonville, FL. If you are located outside of North America, you may want to investigate training options offered by our International Distributors.

Brazilian judge lifts injunction, paving way for signing of Maracana concession deal
RIO DE JANEIRO – A judge has suspended a preliminary order that blocked the signing of a deal giving a multinational consortium the right to run Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium for 35 years.
Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht, Los Angeles-based sports and entertainment company AEG and the sports and entertainment company IMX, which is owned by Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, won the contract Thursday.
Then a local judge ruled that the deal couldn't be finalized ahead of a decision on the legality of the privatization process.
Another judge on Tuesday overruled that decision, citing in a statement the need to "avoid the risk of damaging the public and economic order."
Key matches of the upcoming Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup will be held at Maracana.

Native and Mixed CATIA V5 and V4 Data Automatically Converted to JT format
Staffordshire UK, January 17th 2012, Theorem's latest Universal CATIA translator for JT both streamlines and simplifies data translation and collaborative working, by automatically differentiating between CATIA V5 and V4 data files and converting them to JT in a single operation.
CATIA and JT are widely used in many long-term design projects and it is not unusual for design and manufacturing companies to employ both CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 on production work. Other supply chain partners may operate JT, resulting in collaborative projects that can involve a mix of two CATIA file formats as well as JT data. A further complication is that CATIA V5 assemblies may incorporate embedded CATIA V4 files - a fact that might not become apparent until there is a need to undertake data translation.
Providing a complete solution within a single product, Theorem's Universal CATIA to JT CADverter eliminates the need for users to identify which version of CATIA the target data is supplied in. It not only identifies and converts mixed native CATIA V5 and V4 files automatically, but also recognizes and translates CATIA V5 assemblies that include embedded V4 data - all without operator input.
Because most single version translators are unable to accommodate such shared format assemblies, Theorem's new Universal CATIA CADverter more than exceeds the capabilities of separate products - as even a combination of stand-alone V5 and V4 translators will fail to meet all user requirements.
Operation of the new CADverter could not be easier or more effective. For example, when working on a batch of files via the command line interface, users simply direct Theorem's new translator at a folder containing mixed CATIA models and assemblies, indicate the translation parameters to be applied, specify the destination folder and press enter. They can then move on to other tasks while the Universal CATIA CADverter for JT translates the target files without the need for any further operator interaction.
Theorems Universal CATIA CADverter is a specifically designed translator supporting both 32bit and 64bit processing to CATIA V5 R21 and all versions of JT. Priced as a single translator with a single maintenance cost the latest offering from Theorem saves time, effort and money!

A GLAMOUR model will shock the fashion world this week – becoming the first pregnant woman to strut naked down a catwalk.
I am getting a little bit nervous now, especially if people think I'm exploiting my pregnancy
"I am getting a little bit nervous now, especially if people think I'm exploiting my pregnancy," said Sophia.
"But I just see it as showing off a woman's body at its most feminine stage."
Five-foot-two Sophia, who admitted to wearing six-inch heels on special occasions while heavily pregnant, said she isn't worried the modelling will harm the baby.
She said: "You have to slow down but I'm a single mum with my second child on the way. I can't afford not to work."
The baby's father is Welsh Rugby Union star Ian Gough, 35, who plays for Ospreys. an and Sophia split when she was nine weeks' pregnant.
Sophia, who lives in Gwent with her son Bailey from another relationship, said: "I'm still really confused as to what actually happened. We just weren't getting on.
"He has someone else now and we don't see each other, though he plans to be there at the birth.
"I can't imagine myself being with someone else after this. It's just going to be me and my children and that's it."
Sophia is taking part in the fashion show – with nude models including a 60-something woman and a man – to stand up for pregnant, single women.
"I feel as if I can't be defeated now," she said. "Life doesn't end just because you're pregnant and alone."
Sophia says she wants to share her "feminine" pregnant body with others.
She said: "This show is my way of sharing the beauty of my pregnancy with other people."
And the show could have an extra surprise if Sophia pops early.
"Bailey was five weeks early, so it's possible. Can you imagine?"

The Nanaimo Daily News will stop publishing next week, ending 141 years in business.
The newspaper on Vancouver Island made the announcement Friday on Facebook and Twitter, thanking its advertisers and readers for their support.
The paper, which publishes five times a week, will close on Jan. 29. Its website lists 10 staff members on its news team, including three reporters and a photographer.
Black Press bought the paper from Glacier Media in December 2014. The media company also owns the Nanaimo News Bulletin, which publishes twice a week.
After 141 years, the Nanaimo Daily News will close its doors on Jan. 29. We thank our loyal readers and advertisers for their support.—@NanaimoDaily
Rick O'Connor, Black Press CEO, said the decision to close the paper was not taken lightly.
He said Nanaimo Daily News staff had made a number of improvements to the content and format of the paper over the past 10 months. While the improvements were well-received by existing readers, they did not translate into an increase in paid circulation or advertising revenue, he said.
"As a result Black Press was unable to develop a sustainable business model that would offset the high cost base of the Nanaimo Daily News in relation to its low paid circulation base," he said in a statement.
"The cost of supporting the operation of the Daily News has been substantial and we didn't feel those losses would be reduced in the future."
Nanaimo News Bulletin expanding
O'Connor said Black Press will continue to invest in the twice-weekly Nanaimo News Bulletin and will expand its efforts to cover local issues.
"The community newspaper model continues to enjoy strong readership and advertising support, making it a highly effective local media option with a bright future in the print and digital space," he said.
"Black Press is very appreciative of the support readers and advertisers have afforded the Nanaimo Daily News and Nanaimo News Bulletin over the years and we will continue to work hard to make a meaningful contribution to life and commerce in Nanaimo and the region."
On its website, Black Press says it is the largest independently owned newspaper company in Canada, with operations in British Columbia and Alberta.
It also has holdings in Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio, and employs 3,500 people.

Everything. But also nothing. Depends on what "it" is. Marriage? Friends? Enemies? Children? Religion? Death? Torture? Redemption? Divorce? Disease? Life?
Love is infused in all of these things, these relationships, these events. But the duality of the darker side of human nature, of love, has been driving me crazy. I'm inclined to say "lately," but looking at my entire life and not just what's freshest in recent memory, it's been a struggle since my first memories as a child.
I'm reading a book series that a dear friend recommended: the Kushiel Legacy. At first, it seemed a little more daunting and high fantasy than I usually read. But once I got into it, the world enveloped me and I found myself saying things like Blessed Elua! in my head instead of OMG. It's possible it even once came out of my mouth. The heroine of the novel, Phèdre, is…utterly fantastic. But it is her relationships to her Gods and the people in her life I find the most fulfillment and truth with. Deep, core truth that speaks to my heart. That speaks eloquently, and still yet not definitively, about love.
Currently, I'm a third of the way through Kushiel's Avatar (third book in the series) and it's dealing very specifically with love in all it's many forms. Far more than many people can even fathom. Of course there's religion and the love of Gods, but there's so much more. There's the love Gods feel for mortals. There's the fact that love can extend to more than one God. That different people have different pantheons and we can all find peace together and honor each other's customs and beliefs. Of course there's romantic love, like Phèdre has for her consort Joscelin. But within that relationship, there is so much else. Love is tested and tempered through the years. And it is acknowledged that she doesn't just love Joscelin. That there are other people who have touched her life in romantic, non-romantic, and BDSM types of ways. There are people who've deceived her, abused her, sought to break her and yet, for most, she admits that there is a form of love involved.
In the book, Blessed Elua's precept is "Love as thou wilt." It conveys choice, it speaks of allowing your heart to love what it loves. Poet Mary Oliver says something similar in the beginning of her poem "Wild Geese":
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
The true nature of love is…elusive. Or perhaps it's just too all-encompassing that it is difficult to understand. I sure as fuck don't fully understand it. Maybe I never will. But I think it's human to keep trying. So I do.
Sometimes, when talking about love, clichéd notions pop up and it makes me angry. During a conversation I had last night, someone said to me, "if he really loved you, he wouldn't have cheated on you. He wouldn't've even considered it. There wouldn't be another person for him. Ever." She went on to add that any therapist would back her up. Clearly, she hasn't spoken to my current therapist.
I caught myself clenching my jaw, pushing down feelings of surly disagreement. Because here's a big part of the problem. I don't doubt my husband loved and loves me. That's not the problem. It goes deeper than that. I believe that that people who love can do stupid, hurtful, cruel, deceptive, even abusive things to the people they love. My mother once said to me that my alcoholic father loves me as much as he's able. It's true. He's a flawed, demon-chased, depressed man who grew up under the threat of knives and belts, terror and poverty the language his own alcoholic father spoke fluently. His mother, rather the woman who raised him as a mother, did so with as much love and creativity as she could manage with a 8 other children and not enough money. My own mother, despite her own life difficulties and questionable methods of dealing with them, loves me as best and as broadly as possible.
And just as I don't doubt that my husband loves me, I also have come to the place where I don't doubt that my ex-husband and ex-wife love me. In some difficult, intricate way that's probably similar to the way I love them. But with that love has also come the realization and acceptance (hence the "ex") that just because we love each other does not mean we should be married.
The bible says that love "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." And it does. But…nowhere in there does it advise on how to act when your fall-down-drunk father insists on driving his truck home and allows his friends and girlfriend to put ten year old you in the vehicle with him to "make sure he gets home okay." What do we do, in this current day, when a family member is a pedophile, a friend is mentally abusive, a husband cheats? Yes, love will endure it. But that doesn't mean anyone should stay in that situation if they are able to get out. Once children grow enough to get themselves help, to get out of bad situations, they…we…I will carry that terrible double-edged sword called love around for the rest of our lives.
However, here's the thing. It fucks up our vision when falling in love. It can cloud our judgment with our own children. It's something to be ever-mindful of. On one side is the ephemeral, giddy high of falling in love and on the other is the daily truth of actual love. It does exist, endure, believe, bear, hope…even while fucked up shit happens all around. Even while the floor drops out, disease takes hold, infidelity is committed, a loved one abandons you.
Getting to that point where of understanding that love can exist and endure prolific pain has been rough. Contemplating the other side of this realization is even rougher. It means figuring out what I can endure, believe, hope for. The future of my marriage, or any relationship I have, relies first on the boundaries I make.
I was eventually able to explain to the person that I don't buy into the whole "if he really loved you…there wouldn't be another person" bullshit. I've vacillated back and forth between whether I'm better suited to monogamy or polyamory. After I first found out about the infidelity, I felt strongly that the answer to all this strife was a nice, monogamous relationship. He agreed that that's what he wanted, too. Just strip love down to it's simplest form and things would be better. I'm beginning to see that was, personally, a fear-based reaction. People in monogamous relationships cheat. The fault lies not in the relationship type.
Judging by history, judging by how I feel and continue to feel about people in my life, I keep coming back to the fact hat polyamory makes the most sense to me. In it, there is no "if he really loved you….there would be no one else." That becomes invalid. So once I started saying this, her response was, "then why were you so upset when you found out? Why did you pack up and leave? If he can go out and have whatever relationships he wants and it's okay?"
This is another thing that's always pissed me off: people don't understand the difference between polyamory and cheating. They think that cheating can't exist in polyamory. It flat out can and does. Whenever a lover goes outside of the agreed rules, it is cheating. You can have a rule that there's no sex with anyone else unless you're all in the room together. If your partner then goes and has sex with someone else when you're not there, that's cheating. It's violating the rules of the agreement you've made together. It's defiling trust. Can trust be cultivated again? For some people, yes. Because love can endure all things. That doesn't mean cultivating trust again is the right thing to do for the people involved, though. Sometimes, the soil just isn't rich enough to cultivate trust again. Figuring that out, assessing the soil and it's possibilities is something love has much less to do with it than I previously thought.

Municipality of Valladolid
Distance from Bacolod: 31.3 kilometers
Land Area: 4,801 hectares
Classification: 4th Class
No. of Barangays: 16 Barangays
Population: 32,576 (May 1, 2000) – 34,459 (2005 Projection)
Language: Hiligaynon/Ilonggo/ English is spoken and understood
Valladolid was named after a Spanish leader's hometown in Spain When the Spaniards arrived, the original inhabitants, who were Aetas, were forced to move to the mountains. People from neighboring Guimaras Island and the provinces of Iloilo, Capiz, Antique, Aklan, and Cebu also settled in Valladolid, which was their docking area in coming to Negros. The settlers introduced cultivation of sugar in Negros, resulting in economic growth and prosperity. The growth of Valladolid prompted then Gov. Saravia to create another town out of it, which is the present Municipality of Pulupandan.
In 1851, the Recollect Missionaries laid the foundation of the Valladolid Church, said to be the biggest in the province at that time. Considering the power of church authorities as they run the affairs of the government then, the size of its church and convent is proof that Valladolid was among the province's most progressive pueblos during the Spanish era.
Valladolid town was established in 1860. Significant events in the province during its early years, and upheavals before, during and after the revolutionary period, brought profound changes in the municipality. Through its intrepid sons, Valladolid has contributed its share in the province's fight for freedom during the latter part of the Spanish and Japanese reigns in Negros. The town is known as the rice granary of the province with 90 percent of its arable land planted to palay. It also produces vegetables, fruits and the diwal or angel wings shell, a seasonal delicacy.
How to Get There
Valladolid is approximately a 35-minute drive from Bacolod City by private car and 45 minutes by public utility vehicles via the main highway.
Valladolid is bounded on the north by the town of Pulupandan, on the south by the municipality of San Enrique, on the west by the Guimaras Strait and on the east by the city of La Carlota.
Famous Landmarks
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church was founded in 1851 by the Recollect Missionaries and reputed to be the biggest in the province. The size of the church and convent is a living proof that Valladolid stood among the island's most progressive pueblos during the Spanish era.
Balay Dolid (Valladolid Community Museum) is one of the ancestral houses in town owned by the Ykalina family. The Valladolid Community Museum features the rich cultural heritage of the town.
Sunset Boulevard is a perfect place to watch the beautiful sunset along the Guimaras Strait. A good venue to commune with nature as the water laps along the seawall.
Century-old Acacia Haven. 32 Acacia trees surround the public plaza and provide shade to all passers. It was planted by the first town official by the name of Ykalina.
Relic of an 18th Century Graveyard. This resting place was solely intended for the Ilustrados or the rich member of the community during that time. The area is about 3 hectares surrounded by coral reef stones giving the place a classic effect.
Fruit Stand by the Highway. Situated at the highway of Brgy. Palaka, travelers pass by this area displaying mouth-watering mangoes, watermelon, fruit jams and other exotic delicacies.
Highway Food Park. Located along the highway between Brgy. Palaka and Crossing Pacol, this food park is composed of stalls serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu varies from meat, vegetables to fresh seafood.
Tabao Fish Terminal Food Court at Brgy. Central Tabao Fish Terminal opens at 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Offers grilled fish, tinola and kinilaw. Also serves coffee with native "Ibus or Suman".

Q Do women investors (I'm one) invest differently than from men? I don't mean specific companies, but in terms of style.
M.C., New York
A Some studies suggest that women investors tend to be more cautious or conservative than male investors. But "a good investor is a good investor," irrespective of gender, says Paula Hogan, who heads up Hogan Financial Group, in Milwaukee.
Ms. Hogan doesn't believe that there should be major differences between male and female investors.
"Know thyself, and you'll be a better investor," says Hogan. "You'll know why you want to invest and what to invest in."
Also, know the fundamentals of investing. Read widely about the subject, she says.
Q I plan to sell two mutual funds. I already paid the taxes each year on dividends and capital gains. And I reinvested all dividends. Do I have to pay taxes again on dividends when I sell the two funds?
R.O., Huntington Beach, Calif.
A "Go surfing, don't pay taxes twice," says Ed Slott, a CPA in Rockville Centre N.Y., and editor of "Ed Slott's IRA Advisor" (800-663-1340).
Add all the reinvested dividends into your original cost, to step up your cost-basis, says Slott.
Any tax that you have to pay would be on the capital gain, minus your stepped-up cost basis, he says.
Your mutual-fund company should be able to send you a statement of your purchases and your final cost basis.
Q I'm in the military and want to start investing in a mutual fund. Are there any agencies that are worthwhile that support military personnel?
Name withheld, via e-mail
A If by "agencies" you mean mutual funds, all major fund companies could provide services to you wherever you are based.
One fund company, however, was specifically created to serve military personnel: USAA, at 800-531-8777.
Its insurance division is still targeted at military families and dependents. But its investment arm, including mutual funds, "is now open to the general public," says a USAA field representative.

- Wedding: November 2012 - Country Club
My Husband is in the military so we move around a lot. He was in the military for 4 years before meeting me, so I had no control over him joining. We got engaged New Years Eve 2011. He was stationed in NC when I met him. I lived about 9 hours away from him and his family is about 22 hours away. His parents came to NC 1 time before we moved to England, so I have only met them for a weekend.
I didn't move to NC until after we were engaged. We found out, in October, we were moving to England in January and decided to get married in November, so that I could go with him. We had already planned and paid for most of our big wedding, so we are still having it.
I have a very close relationship with my mom and my whole extended family is really close. His family isn't close at all. His mom constantly whines to him and her friends about how we never go to visit them. I just graduated college in August and the military doesn't pay that well, any money we save is going to the wedding. The only reason we were able to visit my parents, when we still lived in the states, was because they were driving distance away that we could go for a weekend and they always would give us money to cover the costs. The weekend she was in NC she even said to me "He called me a lot more before he met you" and I replied that I talk to my mom everyday. In all honesty, he would most likely talk to his mom maybe once a month if I didn't encourage him to call her every weekend.
I have made a huge effort to have a relationship with her. I have emailed/facebooked/called her. I get a few words back to my extremely long messages and maybe a minute on the phone with her before she asks for her son. We have never asked for anything from her. When we got engaged she offered (more then once) to pay for the honeymoon and rehersal dinner. She hasn't given us anything for the honeymoon and we just paid for it ourselves, which is fine with me, I don't want her to pay for anything she doesn't want to. But she keeps telling my mother and me to plan the dinner and she will pay for it since she isn't from around the area.
Today I sent her a message, this is what it said
" Hi! Have you gave any thought to a song you would want for your mother/son dance? I wasn't sure if there was a song that was tradition in your family or if you had one in mind.
We were thinking of having the rehearsal dinner at Olive Garden, Since you said you wanted to host it, we wanted to make sure this was okay with you.
We will be sending out invitations next week, J said you had an address to add on, but he never sent it to me. He said it was his Uncle, I think you emailed him the address and he lost it.
J didn't know if there were any wedding traditions you would want us to incorporate into the ceremony, let me know if you want us to include anything.
Let one of us know if you have any questions about the wedding. =) "
All she sent back was "Here is the Address: Mr. so and so"
What I am getting from this is that she wants no involvement in the wedding, no mother son dance, and no relationship with me… It really hurts my feelings. Part of me is saying to just give up, stop trying so hard to be nice to her and start a friendship, but the other part of me wishes it would be different. I really don't think it would bother me so much if she didn't whine to him, me, her friends, my family about how we never go to visit and he never talks to her. This was mostly just a rant, but any advice would be helpful. I'm feeling really down about all of this. Thanks Bees

A day after announcing their third pregnancy, Prince William said there is "not much sleep" going on at home.
The Duke of Cambridge, 35, gushed about the "very good news" while meeting with dignitaries at a policing and mental health conference in Oxford, England, on Tuesday (September 5).
Meanwhile, his wife Kate Middleton is experiencing severe nausea.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 35, is being cared for at their home in Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace as she battles Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). The expectant mum was also afflicted by the condition during her pregnancies with their older children — Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2.
"There's not much sleep going on at the moment," Prince William admitted during their conference, before gushing about the "very good news."
He added the couple had been able to "start celebrating this week" after "it was a bit anxious to start with."
On Tuesday, the Duke of Cambridge spoke about mental health, and how his career as an air ambulance pilot encouraged him to make issues facing first responders "a focus of his work for many years to come."
On Monday, Kensington Palace announced the royal couple's pregnancy news.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child," read the statement.
"The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news."
"As with her previous two pregnancies, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Her Royal Highness will no longer carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre in London today."
"The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace," the statement concluded.
The Duke and Duchess — who celebrated Prince George's fourth birthday on July 22 — welcomed their daughter on May 2, 2015.

SINGAPORE: People in Asia Pacific not only consume more screen media daily than the rest of the world, they also spend more time multiscreening, a new study has found.
The 2014 AdReaction Report from Millward Brown, the global research firm, surveyed more than 12,000 people in 30 countries, including 3,080 in nine across Asia-Pacific (Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam).
It revealed that the average APAC multiscreen user consumed around 22 minutes more screen media every day than the global average, or seven hours 19 minutes vs six hours 57 minutes. And they were able to do that within a five hour period thanks to their multiscreening habits.
Just over two hours, 122 minutes or 39% of their total viewing time, was spent multiscreening, compared to the global average of one hour 49 minutes.
In particular, they spent more time on smartphones (159 minutes) and laptops (115 minutes), although proportionally this time was broadly similar to the global average. The most significant departures from the global norm were in the greater use of tablets (14% vs 12%) and lesser use of television (24% vs 27%).
Indonesia (nine hours) and the Philippines (eight hours 51 minutes) were out in front in terms of overall screen minutes. At the other end of the scale were Japan (five hours 43 minutes) and South Korea (six hours 19 minutes).
Millward Brown also examined how people used their devices while watching TV, distinguishing between "meshing" (the consumption of content related to what was on TV) and "stacking", using a phone or tablet for something not related to TV.
People in Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea and Indonesia were most likely to mesh, while those in Australia, Japan and Vietnam spent more time stacking.
Consumers' receptivity to advertising on the different media was also examined, with television continuing to be the most favourable. But Mark Henning, Millward Brown head of media and digital for Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific, noted that APAC consumers emerged ahead of the global average for "paying at least some attention" to ads on laptops (57% regionally vs 52% globally), smartphones (56% vs 51%) and tablets (56% vs 52%).
"Brands should keep in mind that the media itself – where you are seen – can be part of the message," he told Campaign Asia-Pacific.

A night clubber has walked free from court after he set his friend alight as part of a prank that went terribly wrong.
Robert Marshall, 24, and his victim Sam Taylor, 34, were sprayed with Brut aftershave by friends to ruin their chances of picking up women at a nightclub.
Graphic designer Mr Marshall then playfully flicked a flame from a lighter, causing the alcohol aftershave to ignite and turn his close friend into a human fireball.
Mr Taylor, a beauty industry consultant, dropped to the floor as friends, other customers and door staff smothered the flames with their hands, clothes and wet towels.
He was left with serious burns covering seven per sent of his body including his face, chest back and arms at Long John's Showbar on Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Mr Taylor later wrote to the Crown Prosecution Service asking that his close friend should not be charged with any offence as it was an accident
But the CPS ruled that he should be charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm which has a maximum penalty of five years jail.
Marshall of Oughtibridge near Sheffield, South Yorkshire, admitted the offence, but was shown mercy by Great Yarmouth magistrates.
Instead of being jailed, he was fined £710 with a £71 victim surcharge and £85 costs.
Presiding magistrate Terence Gilbert ruled that the incident was "stupid" but said it was clear that it was not a "deliberate attack".
Mr Taylor sat at the back of the court to support his friend during the hearing on Monday.
The pair were among friends from Sheffield who were on a weekend break in Lowestoft, Suffolk, when the incident happened at 1.30am on April 6.
The court heard how the group took the bottle of Brut with them when they went to the nightclub and splashed one another with it in a bid to scupper their chances with women.
Prosecutor Alison Cotterill said one of the group had "poured" the remainder of the aftershave over Mr Taylor - more than "just a few splashes".
The friends had then "flicked" a lighter towards anyone who had been splashed, which had caused no damage.
Miss Cotterill said: "Mr Marshall gets out a cigarette lighter, ignites the flame and flashes it initially towards one of the others.
"Mr Marshall turns round and then goes over to Mr Taylor. He then equally lights the lighter to Mr Taylor's shirt and it just goes up in flames - he's engulfed."
Mr Taylor was taken to the James Paget Hospital, Gorleston, and referred to the St Andrew's burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex.
He was later transferred to a hospital in Sheffield.
The court heard he had now recovered and doctors expected him to be left with "little or no scarring".
Anne-Marie Sheridan, defending, said Marshall was "absolutely devastated" by the consequences of what was a "foolish" prank and had received counselling.
She told the court when the lighter had been flashed on previous occasions, the alcohol in the aftershave had "gone whoosh".
Ms Sheridan said: "Nobody had caught fire, that simply hadn't happened and that was not the expectation of Mr Marshall.
"One of the other members of the group had splashed a huge amount of Brut over Sam. Unfortunately Mr Marshall hadn't seen that amount going over him.
"He'd done what others had done to him...and what happened next was as much a horror to him as it was to the victim."
Ms Sheridan said Marshall had been friends with Mr Taylor since he was three and was a man of good character who had never been in trouble.
Marshall said after the hearing: "If other people can learn from this that's the main thing. Just be careful when you go out."
Three other friends of Mr Taylor were also arrested after the incident, but the men aged 26, 28 and 33 were not charged.
Mr Taylor's father Robert Taylor, 67, of Oughtibridge, said his son had suffered burns to his nose, ears, lips and hair as well as his body.
He added: "It has been a very traumatic time for us, but he has been very positive. I have used aftershave all my life and I never realised it was inflammable.
"People need to learn a lesson from what happened to Sam and it should be banned from places like nightclubs."
Britannia Pier manager Keegan Snell, 40, said: "The whole incident was filmed on our CCTV.
"It showed these guys throwing aftershave over each other. One of them put a lighter to his friend's back and he went up like a fireball. It looked like his whole body was on fire.
"His friends and other members of the public put him to the floor quickly and were trying to roll him to put out the fire. Our staff brought wet towels to help.
"Security staff ran over thinking there was a fight, but it was nothing like that and they helped him as well.
"It was just laddish behaviour which went very badly wrong and it was all over in about 30 seconds. His friends were in tears over what happened.
"There were four or five of us helping him to an ambulance. He could walk but I don't think he would have been able to on his own.
"As we were going down the pier, he had a t-shirt over his head and he was crying and screaming. He was in a lot of pain and distress. The ambulance got him away pretty quickly."
Mr Snell said his staff later found the bottle of splash-on Brut on the floor and handed it to police along with CCTV film of the prank.
He added: "There was no fight. It was just friends playing a prank which went horribly wrong,"
The nightclub was packed with around 450 people when the incident happened.
