My name is Martin Robb and I'm an amateur historian, based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England.
This blog is a record of my research into the many and various branches of my family tree. My aim, to adapt the words of E. P. Thompson, is to rescue from obscurity the servants, shoemakers, laundresses and law clerks whose interwoven lives created the conditions for my own.
My father is Peter Ernest Robb (b. 1933), son of Arthur Ernest Robb (1897 – 1979) and Mary Emily Elizabeth Webb (1898 – 1965). My mother is Joyce Alma Londors (b. 1933), daughter of George John Londors (1896 – 1961) and Minnie Louisa Roe (1902 – 1987). My father's family tree also includes the surnames French, Bowman, Larke, Seager and Monteith, while my mother's includes Blanch, Holdsworth, Gibson, Greene, Byne, Forrest, Manser and Fowle, among many others.
My father's family came to London from Aberdeenshire via Yorkshire in the early nineteenth century, and then moved slowly eastwards until they reached East Ham. My mother's family also ended up in East Ham, but they have roots in Stepney and the City of London going back at least to the early seventeenth century, as well as in Bedfordshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Yorkshire and Sussex.
Family history is essentially a collaborative endeavour, and comments are always welcome, especially from relatives, however distant, and those researching the same families, periods and places. Contributions will always be acknowledged.

ONEONTA, NY – Hartwick used a lethal passing attack on Saturday in a 36-7 victory over visiting Morrisville (0-2) at Wright Stadium. The Hawks are now 2-0 on the season.
Mike Mathews (Pound Ridge, NY) threw for 299 yards and three scores on just nine completions in the game. The Hawks completed five passes for at least 30 yards, including an 84-yard touchdown play from Mathews to Tanner Williams (Eagle Bridge, NY) in the first quarter.
Hartwick led 30-0 just over two minutes into the second quarter and cruised the rest of the way. The 'Wick defense also had five takeaways in the contest.
Williams caught three balls for 139 yards and the one touchdown. Frankie Molina (Middletown, NY) also made three catches. He racked up 88 yards and two touchdown catches.
The game's start time was moved up 15 minutes as there was a looming afternoon threat of severe weather headed toward Oneonta.
Hartwick would score on its first possession on a Mathews to Molina 12-yard touchdown pass. Mathews would connect with Williams on a 40-yard reception earlier in the drive. Alex Tesoriero (Rensselaer, NY) kicked the extra point and the Hawks were up 7-0.
Both teams turned the ball over on their next possessions and Morrisville would pin Hartwick deep in its own territory with 8:08 remaining in the quarter. After the Hawks earned a first down on two plays to get to their own 16, Mathews hit Williams who went the distance for the touchdown, an 84-yard completion. Tesoriero tacked on the PAT and it was a 14-0 game.
Morrisville would then drive 49 yards on six plays to get to the Hartwick 9 yard-line. The Mustangs had three cracks at the end zone but couldn't convert and had to settle for a 26-yard field goal attempt. Junior lineman Jim DeRosa (Centereach, NY), however, had other ideas as he blocked Zach Drake's attempt to keep the visitors off the board with 3:44 left. DeRosa would finish the game with three tackles, a half-sack, and a fumble recovery.
'Wick would cash the turnover in as the aerial assault continued. Mathews hit Molina for 39 yards, then Shaun Eichner (Pine Bush, NY) for 24 yards. After a rushing play that produced two yards, the Hawks went back to the air as Mathews found Molina in the end zone for a 30-yard score. The PAT was blocked and the game stayed at a 20-0 at the end of the quarter.
Early in the second quarter, the Hawks converted two Morrisville turnovers into 10 more points. Freshman Dante Crump (Kingston, NY) picked off a Mychael Hardamo throw and ran it back 41 yards for the touchdown 58 seconds into the second session. It is his second pick-6 in his first two games with the Hawks.
'Wick forced a fumble on the second play from scrimmage on the Mustangs next possession. Jared Morrow (Ogdensburg, NY) recovered and Tesoriero would later nail a 26-yard field goal for a 30-0 Hartwick edge.
Later in the quarter, a Mathews to Hoose 41-yard passing play would set up a Joseph Rosiecki (Montgomery, NY) one-yard rumble for a touchdown to extend the lead to 36-0, which held up until halftime.
In the second half, Morrisville finally got on the scoreboard after a 15-play, 7:49-drive. Earl Snead finished the drive off with a 12-yard touchdown run.
Just at the start of the fourth quarter, a heavy downpour forced a 30-minute delay in the action. Play resumed but with under six minutes to play, lightning would force an end to the game and the Hawks would earn the victory.
Patrick Steves (Brockport, NY) led Hartwick's defense with six tackles. He also added a sack. Joe Seney (Gloversville, NY) and Bryan Schweitzer (Babylon, NY) had five tackles each. Seney had one tackle for a loss and Schweitzer registered an interception. Crump added a fumble recovery to go along with his interception for a touchdown.
The Hawks accumulated 406 yards of offense in the game to Morrrisville's 260. The Mustangs gained 118 rushing yards and 142 through the air.
The unbeaten Hawks are back at home next weekend against visiting Becker College. Game time is 2 p.m. at Wright Stadium.
Hartwick Rolls Past Morrisville State, 36-7
|Morrisville State (0-2)
|Hartwick (2-0)
ONEONTA, NY – Hartwick used a lethal passing attack on Saturday in a 36-7 victory over visiting Morrisville (0-2) at Wright Stadium. The Hawks are now 2-0 on the season.

Bradenton, FL 34206
A note from the Bradenton Herald Popular Pet Poll editor
Thanks to the great interest in our Popular Pet Poll on Bradenton.com; we've been overwhelmed with the response. In fact, we have about 80 photos waiting to be published and then put on the Web. So in order to speed things up, we're making a few changes.
Readers' Pets photos will still be published in Neighbors, but we're going to print more each week. After being in Neighbors, the photos will go to the Web site, but here's where we're making a change.
Since we can run only 10 pictures in the Popular Pets Poll, the photos might not go directly to the poll, but to a second slide show, where we can post more photos. There they can be viewed — but not voted upon — while waiting for slots in the poll to open up.
Each week, the winner will go up against nine new contenders. To be fair to all the pets and their humans, the photos will be taken in the order in which they were published. Poor quality photos — out of focus, grainy, too dark, etc. — will not make the cut.
It's still going to take a while to publish all the photos we have now — we're estimating four to six weeks — and more are coming in each week. So please be patient. And remember, unlike your beloved pets, we're only human.
Remember: Photos will run in Neighbors before being posted online. Only one photo per pet (or pets, if there are more in the picture) will be accepted within a six-month period. Please don't send more than one photo of each pet; choose your best picture and send only that picture, and send it only once. Due to the volume of pet photos we have received, and the popularity of the poll, we ask that you be patient. Your photo will run soon.
Be sure to include your name, address and phone number in case we need to call you.
Results will be posted every Tuesday morning.
The winner from each week will compete against a new round of contestants.
Only pets living in Manatee or Sarasota County are eligible for the Popular Pets Poll, which is available only on the Web site.
And don't forget to vote for your favorite pet here at Bradenton.com.

We're down to the final day of Taking Names' ranking of The 25 Most Powerful People in Central Florida.
When we started tallying ballots, our panel of 15 plugged-in and diverse judges cast more than 375 votes for more than 140 people.
Now we're down to the final five -- a businessman, an educator and three politicians. And, according to our panel, they have more clout and control than anyone else in the region.
5. Al Weiss, Walt Disney World president. By nature of his position, Weiss might have more impact on Central Florida's image than anyone else. His work force alone consists of more than 50,000 people, meaning his decisions affect more families than any other boss in town. That said, Weiss received many of his votes because of the position he holds, rather than who he is. Several panelists simply wrote "Disney CEO." Another wrote: "I would really like to scratch out Al's name and put in Mickey Mouse." Still, Weiss is taking steps to improve the perception that he lives in a Disney-only world. Perhaps most notably, he stepped into the position of chairman of the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission -- which, interestingly enough, tries to generate jobs outside of theme parks.
4. John Hitt, president of the University of Central Florida. You can start with the number of impressionable minds that Hitt helps mold: more than 40,000 of them. But more importantly, Hitt has helped chart a sophisticated course for UCF that leaves the school's past as a technical college a distant memory. The school now rivals in-state siblings such as Florida State University when it comes to SAT scores and well-known programs. And Hitt continues to push further, looking ahead to a day when he'll oversee a medical school as well. Plus, things can only get better on the athletic side of things, seeing as how a single win for the school's football team in 2005 would be one more than it saw this year.
3. Toni Jennings, lieutenant governor of Florida. Many regard Florida's Legislature as a cesspool nowadays. But back when Jennings was Senate president, bickering between top leaders was kept to a minimum (at least publicly). It was that sense of decorum and capability that led Jeb Bush to pick the Orlando construction-company executive as his No. 2. But you'd better believe that it's not Jennings' current job alone that netted her this high ranking. Any number of panelists think she has a good chance to replace Bush when he steps down in 2006.
2. Buddy Dyer, mayor of Orlando. The Orlando mayor finished a strong second. He holds the most recognized post in Central Florida. And he has proven that he has the audacity to dream big, whether it's remaking downtown or raising Orlando's profile as a sports town. The trick will be turning those dreams into reality. It's also worth noting that, a few years ago, the race for No. 1 on this list would have been a tight one between the city mayor and county chairman. This time, it was not. In fact, three of the 15 panelists didn't even include Dyer on their list of 25 candidates -- and included notes saying that was quite deliberate. Dyer has found himself dogged by controversy, fights and squabbles with friends and former allies, including the one man who finished way ahead of him.
1. Rich Crotty, Orange County chairman. When all was said and done, this was really no contest. Crotty was the only person to get votes from every single panelist involved in these power rankings. He controls a budget and work force that's about three times the size of Dyer's. He's buddies with both Bushes. And he has shown a willingness to play hardball for things he is passionate about, such as the tax increase for schools, even when they aren't part of his job description. The question now is: Where does he set his sights next?
6. Jim Seneff, chairman of CNL Financial Group.
7. Kathy Waltz, publisher of the Orlando Sentinel.
8. Mel Martinez, U.S. senator-elect.
9. Harris Rosen, hotelier.
10. C. David Brown, Broad & Cassel law firm.
11. Rick Walsh, senior vice president for Darden Restaurants Inc.
12. Jane Healy, editorial-page editor of the Orlando Sentinel.
13. Fred Leonhardt, senior partner, GrayRobinson.
14. Rich DeVos, owner of the Orlando Magic.
15. Jacob Stuart, president of the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce.
16. Tom Yochum, retired Central Florida president of SunTrust Florida.
17. Dick Batchelor, consultant/former state representative.
18. John Mica, U.S. congressman.
19. Jeff Fuqua, president, Amick Construction.
20. Cameron Kuhn, developer.
21. John Morgan, attorney.
22. John Hillenmeyer, president, Orlando Regional Healthcare.
23. Clarence Otis Jr., CEO, Darden Restaurants.
24. Teresa Jacobs, Orange County commissioner.
25. Mike Thomas, Orlando Sentinel columnist.
With politicians, media elite and scads of business and nonprofit leaders, the 15 panelists who voted in these rankings comprised a power pack all by themselves, as you may have noticed when we disclosed their identities Sunday. (Remember, they couldn't vote for themselves and didn't know who the other panelists were until all the ballots were cast).
These folks included some amusing and interesting notes in their anonymous ballots, such as:
Notable omissions. Among those noticeably missing from the top 25 was Superintendent Ron Blocker, whose Orange County school system often seems like it couldn't get good ink in the newspaper if it took out an ad. Blocker did receive a few votes, though, with one panelist saying he doesn't get the credit he deserves. We also learned that money doesn't always equal power, as time-share magnate David Siegel was all but ignored. And then there was Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary, who might have been viewed as more powerful in Central Florida if he actually stayed in Central Florida, rather than traversing the globe.
Neither of Orlando's most recent former mayors made the cut. Interestingly, though, Bill Frederick scored slightly better than Glenda Hood -- even though Hood was mayor more recently and currently serves as secretary of state.
Women and minorities didn't fare well. Of the 25 people who made the list, 19 were white men. There were only four women. And we see a real dearth in up-and-comers. No one on the list was under 40. In fact, the average power broker was a white man in his mid-50s who has run in Orlando power circles for years.
On a couple of ballots, panelists ranked Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer's staff, including aide David Dix and administrator Richard Levey, as more powerful than Dyer.
One panelist voted for Margot Kidder. That seemed odd, seeing as how the former heroine from the Superman movies endured a much-publicized mental breakdown 3,000 miles away in Los Angeles in 1996. We correctly presumed the vote was intended for United Arts chief Margot Knight. Still, it was amusing to see Lois Lane on the particular ballot -- two spots above Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos no less.
A few voters admitted their ulterior motives in the way they cast ballots. Wrote one panelist: "I put Toni [Jennings] at #1 because I want her to be the next governor, and I think being #1 on your list will help her chances."
One panelist also reserved the 25th spot on the ballot for "the spouses or significant others of all those named above."
To come up with this ranking, Taking Names tapped the minds of 15 people who compose a power cartel in and of themselves. The goal was to get a panel that was both informed and diverse. It is both, including politicians, CEOs, nonprofit leaders, media execs and more.
All of them agreed to rank the 25 people they think are most powerful in Central Florida.
We offered no starting names, only a blank slate. The higher the name was ranked, the more points it got.
Although a few of the panelists made the list, all were prohibited from voting for themselves. And none of them knew who the other panelists were until all the ballots were in, to prevent collusion.
Scott Maxwell, who wonders how many of these power elite he'll find doing body shots at tonight's VIP opening of Club Paris, can be reached at 407-420-6141 or email@example.com.
We're down to the final day of Taking Names' ranking of The 25 Most Powerful People in Central Florida.

Court Case: Parker v. IN High School Athletic Assoc.
Case Adopted 05/11
Case Update (10/12):
The case was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for Southern Indiana, which held that school districts are "arms of the state" that are immune from suit in federal court for constitutional violations. On Tuesday, January 31, that ruling was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, which remanded the case back to the lower court to determine "whether any genuine issues of material fact exist as to the plaintiffs' claims."
- AAUW Press Release Applauding the Decision
In October 2012, the two parties reached an agreement in the case. The agreement approved by the U.S. District Court for Southern Indiana requires progressive improvements in scheduling girls' varsity basketball games through 2017.
Case History
The primary issue in the case centers on whether or not the discriminatory scheduling of girls' basketball games on non-prime time days violates Title IX of the Educational Amendment of 1972.
In 2009, Amber Parker, the former coach of the Franklin County High School girls' varsity basketball team, sued the Franklin County Community School Corporation and the other school districts against which Franklin plays on behalf of her daughter, who played on the team. The suit was subsequently joined by Tammy Hurley on behalf of her daughter, another member of the team. Parker alleged violations of Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution due to the disparity in scheduling of games between the boys' and girls' varsity basketball teams. The suit demonstrated that the majority of boys' games were played in prime time — on Friday and Saturday nights — while the girls' games were relegated to weekday nights. The scheduling unfairly placed academic burdens on the girls, who competed on school nights, were deprived of crowd support, and were made to feel like second-class athletes.
The U.S. District Court for Southern Indiana granted summary judgment for the school districts. In addition, the court held that the school districts are "arms of the state" that are entitled to immunity from suit in federal court for constitutional violations, an issue with potentially far-reaching effects.
Parker appealed the ruling. The National Women's Law Center and co-counsel filed plaintiffs' opening brief to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2011 and the reply brief in April 2011. Oral arguments for the case occurred on May 31 in Chicago, Illinois.

Posts TaggedADN storage
The last time I took a look at App.net's file storage, I took a look at Swing, a Droplr-like app for easy file sharing using the social network's storage API as its backbone. I loved it (and still use it), but also saw the need for an app that could leverage ADN's API to act more like Dropbox.
Entire Filebase: It's a beta app developed by Pete Burtis, but it's largely stable now and mostly feature complete. Let's take a look and see what Filebase has to offer Mac users. (more…)

On Monday morning, the Queens County Democratic Committee announced that it would be supporting Assemblywoman Grace Meng as its candidate for the new 6th Congressional District, which was created as part of newly redrawn congressional lines based on the 2010 Census.
The new lines essentially left longtime Congressman Gary Ackerman without a district, leading him to announce his retirement as opposed to run in the new district.
Figuring we should catch up on where Meng stood on the important issues, we thought we would head over to gracemeng.com to familiarize ourselves. To avoid helping you make the same mistake we did, don't bother heading over to gracemeng.com because you won't gain any knowledge on where Meng stands on immigration, foreign policy, health care, or any other big issue out there.
Instead, what you will find is some random information on securing the cheapest car insurance or a good business loan. In fact, we're not really sure what gracemeng.com is all about, but it appears to be a potpourri of spam blog posts, not one of which has any information on Assemblywoman Grace Meng.
Guess we'll just have to do some old-fashioned reporting on this one and pick up a phone and (ugh) call someone.
But in all seriousness (no really, we mean it!), the nomination of Meng is big news for several reasons. First, if elected, she would be the first Asian-American elected to Congress from New York State. Second, Meng was considered to be a strong candidate for borough president, which is good news for those interested in the post, which includes Assemblyman Jose Peralta and councilmen Peter Vallone, Jr. and Leroy Comrie, as there could potentially be one less candidate in the mix.
But it's also big news because Meng isn't the only Democrat interested in the replacing Ackerman, which means we're going to have a Democratic Primary!
And this primary won't involve one strong Democratic candidate picked by the county party and a bunch of no-name outliers with no real chance. No, this primary will involve the county choice (Meng) and two well-established, office-holding, and card-carrying members of the Queens County Democratic Party.
First there is Assemblyman Rory Lancman, who made it known about a month ago that he was interested in running for Congress, but back then he was considering challenging Republican Congressman Bob Turner, who last year won the seat vacated by Anthony Weiner, who resigned in the wake of his Twitter indiscretions.
When New York City lost a congressional district, Lancman considered running against Ackerman, who at the time was still deciding his future, but decided against it, issuing this statement:
"I have enjoyed a great relationship with Gary over the years, from interning in his office when I was a high school student to having his support in all of my campaigns for public office, and I'll be supporting Gary this year in the new Sixth congressional district."
A few hours after Lancman sent that out, Ackerman announced his retirement. We guess the relationship wasn't so great that Ackerman could have given Lancman a head's up he was about to announce he was stepping down!
And then there is Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, who also announced that she would seek the post despite the Queens Democratic Party throwing its support behind Meng.
Oh yes, did we fail to mention that the head of the Queens County Democratic Party, Congressman Jospeh Crowley, is the cousin of Liz Crowley? That's going to make for an awkward Easter dinner this year!
The primary is scheduled for late June, which means you can expect some furious campaigning over the next few months. The interesting part is that all three of these candidates are considered "nice" guys in the cutthroat world of politics, known for working well with their colleagues.
Unfortunately, campaigns aren't known for being nice, so we'll be waiting to see if this race turns negative. We can't wait.
In the words of the great political strategist Terrell Owens, "get your popcorn ready!"

In an update to Making For Health: Calling Boston-Area Makers, Bug Labs' open source hacker Far McKon just let me know that he's bringing 5 complete bug bundles to the event for teams to incorporate into their projects. The event is this weekend (Feb 19) in Boston, so register now!
Here's what Far has to say about the gear:
Speaking of modules. To extend the base, each kit has a general IO module (the Von Hippel), GPS, and so on. For video output, each kit comes with a full-color touchscreen LCD and HD video-output modules for either on-device or on-screen display. And sample code to use all of them, naturally. We will also have some sensors and components along, so people can use the Von hippel to plug into other projects or platforms through raw IO.
For development, I have a pre-built VirtualBox image, with everything installed. So it should be very fast to get off the ground by coping the VM to coders machines, and launching it.
Everything is open source, from hardware to virtual machine, so a prototype built on using a Bug can easily be remixed into any form factor or new product, using our designs as a starting point."
Should make for a really interesting day of hacking for a good cause. Thank you, Bug Labs, for the generous support. Hope to see you there!

New Jersey housewife Danielle Straub has successfully blocked a steamy sex tape from being hawked by a scorned ex-beau she claims is out for revenge.
A New Jersey judge halted the release of a sex video -- taken on a cell phone -- featuring the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star that was being shopped to the highest bidder by her embittered ex-boyfriend Stephen Zalewski, 27.
"It sickened me," Straub said during the hearing.
Straub's attorney filed suit in Passaic Country Court alleging invasion of privacy, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The "Housewife" said her ex was trying to get back at her and her children for dumping him.
"This is about my kids," Straub said outside of court yesterday. "I'm a big girl. Do what you want to me. But you broke bread with my children. Don't do this to me. No adult should ever do this to a child."
Zalewski told Star magazine he was considering selling the tape.
"She cost me so much money, why shouldn't I make a few dollars?" he said.
The victory in court for Straub came as details of her sordid past surfaced in legal documents that alleged she used to sling coke and work as an escort in her 20s before the FBI got involved.
The mother-of-two -- who went by the name Beverly Ann Merrill -- was involved with a drug dealer while she worked at the escort service and kidnapped a man for ransom after he botched a drug deal.
Straub faced eight felony counts but signed a plea deal and got five years probation.
"Don't judge me," she told Usmagazine.com. "There's only one person that can judge anybody. In spirit and in life, we are all equal. There is only one higher power."
Fellow housewife Jacqueline Laurita was the lone cast member to come to Straub's aid during the show -- defying her sisters-in-law to stick up for the.
Now, Laurita said she has broken ties with the embattled housewife.
"I am not friends with Danielle," she told Usmagazine.

Brain deterioration, sleep woes linked
Hallmarks of aging include brain atrophy, a decline in sleep quality and memory problems, and new research from UC Berkeley has uncovered a relationship among them.
After comparing the brains and memory skills of young study participants and older subjects, researchers found that age-related brain deterioration contributes to poor sleep and, in turn, recollection problems.
"We were surprised by how clear that was," said Bryce Mander, a postdoctoral fellow in the psychology department and the lead author of the recent study, published last month in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
If scientists can discover ways to enhance sleep in older people - the type of deep sleep that produces what are known as slow waves - then it is possible to make strides in improving memory, the research suggests.
The Berkeley researchers examined 18 adults, with an average age of about 20, and 15 other adults with an average age of 72. Before going to bed one night, the subjects had to try to memorize 120 word pairs consisting of one familiar word like "crook" and a nonsense word like "engarleys" to make it harder to recall.
As the participants slept, researchers measured their brain waves, and the next morning, the subjects were tested on the word pairings. The older subjects did not fare as well as their younger counterparts.
"When they came back the next day, they had forgotten about 55 percent more than the young adults," said Matthew Walker, a UC Berkeley professor of psychology and neuroscience.
Sleep and memory
Long-term-memory storage depends on the slow waves generated by deep sleep, and researchers found that the older adults got about 75 percent less deep sleep than the young adults.
Walker likened the waves to a chairlift that picks up new memories from the hippocampus - which can hold memories only temporarily - and escorts them to the prefrontal cortex, where they are cemented into the brain's architecture. Brain scans during the morning test showed that the younger participants were relying on the cortex to recall the word pairs while the older people were still counting on the hippocampus.
What was causing the sleeping troubles - and thus the memory problems - was the natural atrophy of the aging brain, researchers found.
Past research has established that the frontal lobe atrophies as people age, and that portions of the region contribute to sleep. But the Berkeley researchers were able to determine the amount of brain atrophy correlated to the reduction in sleep quality, which in turn corresponded to how many word pairs a person was able to remember.
"It's not just that they're associated with each other," Walker said. "We can understand the directionality of what's happening and figure out the chain of command."
Potentially treatable
The findings go beyond explaining why older people have more trouble remembering where they stashed their keys the night before. Although sleep is just one factor in age-related memory issues, it is a potentially treatable problem - "a silver lining to rather depressing news," Walker said.
Past studies in young people have found that electrical stimulation during sleep can enhance slow waves and improve memory, Walker said, and there are plans to do similar research in older subjects.
There is also a possible connection to neurodegenerative disorders, which are associated with greater brain atrophy and more disrupted sleep.
"Is the same pathway even more dysfunctional in conditions such as Alzheimer's?" Walker said.
The recent UC Berkeley study was just one of many sleep-related projects going on in the Bay Area, a hub for sleep research. Stanford has a number of centers focused on studying sleep, sleep disorders and their health impacts.
One project researchers at Stanford are working on is looking at whether a popular treatment for sleep apnea can improve neurocognitive function in patients. Sleep apnea has been shown to impact attention, learning and memory, and executive and frontal lobe function, said Dr. Clete Kushida, the medical director of the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center and the director of the Stanford Center for Human Sleep Research.
Sleep and emotions
UC Berkeley researchers are also examining the connection between sleep and emotional regulation. Walker's past work has found that sleep deprivation can trigger a greater activation of the amygdala, which is responsible for emotional responses. A lack of sleep simultaneously quiets the prefrontal cortex, which helps a person calm down.
"It's like a car with an accelerator and no brakes," said Allison Harvey, a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley. "We all know this - under conditions of sleep deprivation, we're an emotional wreck the next day."
One study showed sleep-deprived people reacted more emotionally when shown upsetting images, but once they caught up on sleep, the experience was not as painful for them.
Harvey, who is also the director of the Golden Bear Sleep and Mood Research Clinic at UC Berkeley, has tried to turn those findings into interventions for patients with trouble regulating emotions.
Harvey and other researchers have found that improved sleep has helped people with bipolar disorder - which is marked by sleeping problems in addition to emotional control issues - reduce their bouts of mania and depression.
"It's one of those situations where brain and behavior are really intimately linked," Harvey said.
The therapy relies on sessions with a sleep coach who tries to help patients change their sleeping habits. The treatment also includes a list of recommended steps that people should do to improve their sleep, from establishing a bedtime routine to avoiding nightcaps, and researchers have found that people adhere to them better when they have a coach to keep them accountable.
Harvey is now working to see if improved sleep can help another group known for emotional regulation troubles - teenagers.

If you aren't in the mood for a long rant, stop reading now. Unless you're a DJO employee, in which case, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this and take it seriously.
I used a Palm handheld for 15 years. It worked. It just plain worked. I could store contacts, tasks, notes, and my calendar in it AND on my desktop computer. Entering data was fast and easy on both the handheld and the desktop. Viewing data was fast and easy on both the handheld and the desktop. Synchronizing data between the two was fast and easy, starting with a Serial connection back in 1995 and progressing to a USB connection some time later.
In all that time, I lost data AT MOST once or twice, and the time I remember most vividly turned out to not be a Palm problem at all - I was syncing to Outlook at work (and Palm Desktop at home), and Outlook was set to purge old calendar events, so the data loss was my own error (not turning off the purge).
My wife and I both moved to Droids in July because my Palm was starting to die and we wouldn't be able to get replacements. We both started using DJO because it offered similar functionality AND could sync to Palm Desktop, which is STILL the fastest, easiest desktop organizer application out there. And I include the web-based apps in that list.
We both considered going all-out "modern age" and syncing to the cloud via native Android apps (calendar and contacts) and third-party apps (tasks and notes) but had concerns about usability and data security. So that was another point in favor of DJO.
I am very sad to say that my wife has rethought that decision and is moving to cloud apps, and I am very seriously considering joining her.
Over the past several months, I have had the following issues with DJO/CompanionLink. Some have been fixed, some have not:
- Sync hangs
- Sync errors
- Data loss
- Lack of recurring tasks
- More sync hangs
- Inaccessibility of data due to spurious USB mounting state errors
- Slow data entry
- Slow data saving
- Slow data viewing
- Inaccurate data
- Lost notifications
- Inefficient display layout
- Inefficient data entry UI
- Inefficient search results
- More sync hangs
- ... more, I'm sure ...
A few days ago, I upgraded to DJO 1.10.7 and CL 4032. It was a bit rocky, but since then, things have been mostly OK (in fact, the UI improvements are very good, with some notable exceptions:
- At least one instance of the spurious USB mount problem
- Hitting the Sync shortcut on my home screen (which I created AFTER installing 1.10.7) takes me to my last DJO view, NOT the DJO home, and does NOT start a sync
- It is very hard to get from the week view to the day view in DJCal - clicking a date doesn't always work.
I can sort of live with those. But this morning, I went to do a sync, and it hung. Again. Actually, here's the entire sequence from this morning:
- (Phone is attached to computer via USB already, from charging last night)
- Hit the Sync shortcut
- Be taken to a Calendar view
- Hit the Home button in the top left
- Wait
- Hit the Sync button on the DJO home screen
- Wait a few seconds while "preparing SD card"
- See the "reading Android contacts" popup. Watch it run from 0% to 100% ad close.
- DJO goes to a blank Contacts screen, all on its own
- DJO goes to a blank Calendar screen, all on its own
- CL comes up on the PC
- Android decides to start downloading updates
- CL says "All done - please press OK" (or whatever that message is)
- I hit OK on CL
- I look at Palm Desktop, and it looks like everything is there (Yay!)
- I notice that DJO is in a weird state. Try to click around to get to the home screen, and can't. I'm still on the blank Calendar screen.
- I hit its "Back" button (top left) and get taken back to the blank Contacts screen.
- I hit its "Back" button and I'm now on a Contact entry screen for a contact I edited a few days ago
- I hit its "Back" button and I'm now on an empty DJO search results screen
- I hit the Android Home button to get back to my homescreen
- I try various ways of getting into DJO, and none of them takes me to anything useful
- Android finishes its updates, INCLUDING REUPDATING DJO EVEN THOUGH I AM ON THE VERSION IN THE MARKET (1.10.7)
- I try again to get into DJO, and it Force Closes
- I try again, and get in successfully
- I change something on the PC Palm Desktop (to see whether Sync will accurately push things to the handheld after the above experience)
- I hit Sync in DJO
- It does its usual startup stuff
- I get the CL screen on the desktop, followed by the "All done press OK" dialog
- I press OK on the desktop. Everything looks good there
- I look at the handheld, and it's at "Reading Android Contacts 0%"
That was 30 minutes ago, and it's still on the same display. It is doing nothing. It is hung. Again.
I really, really, really want this to work. I want DJO to be a success. I want to be able to enter contacts, events, tasks, and notes in my handheld or my desktop and have them sync. I want to stick with DJO and Palm, because I believe they are conceptually superior to the modern web/cloud approach.
But I am really, really, really tired of fighting with my organizer. For 15 years I had an organizer that just worked, with no hassle, and I am tired of having an organizer that doesn't work.
I don't WANT to go to the cloud. I don't WANT to do my data entry on the web.
But I don't want to fight with my handheld any longer, either.
So I've run out of patience. I can give DJO one more try, but after 7 months of trying, I don't think I can give it more than that.

|Chapter IV. On raah, hibbit and ḥazah
|Next »
THE three verbs raah, hibbit, and ḥazah, which denote "he perceived with the eye," are also used figuratively in the sense of intellectual perception. As regards the first of these verbs this is well known, e.g., And he looked (va-yar) and behold a well in the field" (Gen. xxix. 2) here it signifies ocular perception: "yea, my heart has seen (raah) much of wisdom and of knowledge" (Eccles. i. 16); in this passage it refers to the intellectual perception.
In this figurative sense the verb is to be understood, when applied to God e.g., "I saw (raïti) the Lord" (1 Kings xxii. 19); "And the Lord appeared (va-yera) unto him" (Gen. xviii. 1); "And God saw (va-yar) that it was good" (Gen. i. 10) "I beseech thee, show me (hareni) thy glory" (Exod. xxxiii. 18); "And they saw (va-yirü) the God of Israel" (Exod. xxiv. 10). All these instances refer to intellectual perception, and by no means to perception with the eye as in its literal meaning: for, on the one hand, the eye can only perceive a corporeal object, and in connection with it certain accidents, as colour, shape, etc.: and, on the other hand, God does not perceive by means of a corporeal organ, as will be explained.
In the same manner the Hebrew hibbit signifies "he viewed with the eye"; comp. "Look (tabbit) not behind thee" (Gen. xix. 17); But his wife looked (va-tabbet) back from him" (Gen. xix. 26); "And if one look (ve-nibbat) unto the land" (Isa. v. 30); and figuratively, "to view and observe" with the intellect, "to contemplate" a thing till it be understood. In this sense the verb is used in passages like the following: "He hath not beheld (hibbit) iniquity in Jacob" (Num. xxiii. 21); for "iniquity" cannot be seen with the eye. The words, "And they looked (ve-hibbitu) after Moses" (Exod. xxxiii. 8) — in addition to the literal understanding of the phrase — were explained by our Sages in a figurative sense. According to them, these words mean that the Israelites examined and criticised the actions and sayings of Moses. Compare also "Contemplate (habbet), I pray thee, the heaven" (Gen. xv. 5); for this took place in a prophetic vision. This verb, when applied to God, is employed in this figurative sense; e.g., "to look (me-habbit) upon God" (Exod. iii. 6) "And the similitude of the Lord shall he behold" (yabbit) (Num. xii. 8); And thou canst not look (habbet) on iniquity" (Hab. i. 13).
The same explanation applies to ḥazah. It denotes to view with the eye, as: "And let our eye look (ve-taḥaz) upon Zion" (Mic. iv. 11); and also figuratively, to perceive mentally: "which he saw (ḥazah) concerning Judah and Jerusalem" (Isa. i. 1); "The word of the Lord came unto Abraham in a vision" (maḥazeh) (Gen. xv. 1); in this sense ḥazah is used in the phrase, "Also they saw (va-yehezu) God" (Exod. xxiv. 11). Note this well.

Cover (French)
This begins with all the Snake Men and Skeletor griping about He-Man. Tung Lashor and Rattlor claim they can finally get rid of him, and set out to do it. Suddenly, they burst into the palace and kidnap the king and queen to use as hostages. Adam, who is present, runs away and changes into He-Man, who promptly is covered in a venom shell, along with the rest of the royal family. Extendar, who also was present during the attack, tries furiously to crack the shell around He-Man. He succeeds just enough to free him while the raiders escape, and He-Man bursts free. He quickly grabs a pair of Stilt Stalkers and commences the chase after the Snake Men. The two manage to run into them and promptly get into a bit of a scrap. Tung Lashor ends up coating Rattlor in his venom and He-Man knocks Tung Lashor into next Tuesday. He lands in the swamps, coincidentally next to Hiss. Hiss chases him in anger, while all the heroes come together to welcome Extendar to the team.

Very good sight and vision could make or mar the caliber of a person's lifestyle. The conventional method of repairing eyesight is thru spectacles or contact lenses. In recent years, even so, laser light surgical treatment has become a very much-wanted-after substitute. The laser beam is aimed at the cornea, the outer rounded construction that shields the coloured portion of the eye (also referred to as the iris), and also the pupil. In repairing myopia, as an illustration, the laser beam is placed to decrease the fullness from the cornea. This makes it possible for the eye to bring pictures into focus correctly. Laser Eye Surgery York

- There are basically a few various kinds of laser light eyesight surgical procedure. The most recent and most.
There are essentially three various kinds of laser eye surgical treatment. The newest and many common sort of laser surgery is known as 'Lasik'. This technique involves building a flap by reducing off a lean level from the cornea, which further permits the laserlight to aim for the tissues below. The flap is just put back again, and regenerates in a natural way. The outcome are nearly fast - sight is renewed very quickly. Laser Eye Surgery Blackburn
Off a lean level from the
The next most in-demand form of laser surgery is named 'Epiflap' or 'Lasek' surgical procedure. This procedure necessitates the fractional elimination of the epithelium to reveal the cornea. The cornea is then firmed or reshaped with a laser. Moreover, the external level of cells is pressed back again, and also the eye repairs shortly after.
Pressed back again
PRK was the predominant laser light eyesight surgical procedures way of years. It involved the entire removal of the epithelial tissue around the eye. Although Lasik is commonly used to help remedy extreme hyperopia or myopia, Lasek is just utilized to appropriate minor to regular myopia. Laser Eye Surgery Milton-Keynes

These treatments are typically regarded as safe.

I love stocking my pantry and refrigerator with homemade ingredients that I can pull out and make something at the last minute. This Lemon Curd Cream can be used in so many ways- it easily elevates anything it touches! If I need a last minute dessert, I can buy a pre-made pound cake and some berries and end up with the most wonderful (and stunning) dessert (like I did here). I can put this jar out (as is!) with a bowl of strawberries and cherries for a great fruit dip or fill a tart shell with it and top it with whipped cream. The uses for it are endless- a spoon and a sunny day is also a good option!
This Homemade Lemon Curd is a great homemade gift, too - bring it is a gift for your Mom for Mother's day.
Lemon Curd
3/4 cup of sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
2 lemons, juiced
pinch of salt
Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs and mix together until combined. Add cornstarch. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Transfer mixture back into a saucepan. Heat on low while stirring constantly. Cook until thickened - about 5-7 minutes. Let the mixture cool at room temperature before using so it can set.
Store it in the refrigerator.
Here's an idea for the lemon curd... Vanilla Pound Cake with Lemon Curd, Whipped Cream and Berries!
