- ―Bella Swan to Jacob Black on Renesmee's nickname, "Nessie".[src]
Born on September 10, 2006, Renesmee Carlie Cullen (pronounced Ruh-NEZ-may) is a half-vampire and half-human hybrid member of the Olympic Coven. She is the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, and the imprintee of Jacob Black. On the paternal side, Renesmee's biological grandparents are Edward and Elizabeth Masen, while on the maternal, they are Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer. She is also the adoptive granddaughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen and the adoptive niece of Jasper and Rosalie Hale and Alice and Emmett Cullen.
Renesmee is considered to be Edward and Bella's "miracle", because of what it took to keep her and her mother alive through the pregnancy. Renesmee also has the special power to show people what she is thinking by touching them.
In the beginning, Bella gets angry at Jacob for giving her daughter the nickname "Nessie". After Jacob Black imprints on Renesmee, Irina of the Denali Coven sees Renesmee and believes she is an immortal child, a human child who had been turned by a vampire. She informs the Volturi, as immortal children are not permitted to live. The Volturi reach Forks intent on killing Renesmee and the Cullens. However, the Cullen family members gather witnesses from around the world to prove that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Alice brings another half-breed, Nahuel, who explains that half-breeds pose no danger to the vampires. Convinced that Renesmee is not a threat, the Volturi leave, and Renesmee and her family are left in peace.
[hide]*1 Name origin
Name origin[1]EditEdit
- "Her name is Renesmee. Like Renée and Esme put together."
- "Jake says you call her Nessie?"
"No we don't. We call her Renesmee."
Renesmee's name derives from an amalgamation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée, and her adoptive mother-in-law, Esme. Her middle name, Carlie, is a portmanteau of Bella's father-in-law, Carlisle, and Charlie, Bella's biological father. Her full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Jacob Black gives her the nickname "Nessie" because he says her full name is a "mouthful". At first, Bella refuses to use this nickname because of the obvious allusion to the Loch-Ness Monster, but by the end of the story she eventually warms to it. The nickname and Jacob's imprinting on her made newborn Bella furious enough to attempt to attack him. Luckily for him, and to Renesmee's relief (as she later tells Bella), Seth Clearwater, Jacob's friend and right hand, jumped in the way, breaking his shoulder and collar bone in the process (which Bella quickly apologizes for after calming down).

Bella's pregnancy[5]EditEdit
After Edward and Bella are married, they spend their honeymoon on an island the Cullen family owns off the coast Rio de Janeiro: Isle Esme, a gift from Carlisle to Esme. At this point, Edward can't deny Bella the human experience of sex any longer despite his fear of harming her, as they had a deal, and they make love on several occasions. However, as the honeymoon progresses, Bella begins to experience mood swings, peculiar eating habits, terrible nightmares and severe morning sickness, which confuses her. After finding tampons in her bag, she notices that her period is five days late, and a hard, growing, bump protruding from her hips, realizing she is pregnant. Edward knows that there have been stories of women who died while giving birth to a vampire's child. Therefore, he leaps into action, like always, only caring about the safety of Bella, and insists that she let Carlisle remove the abnormally rapid-growing fetus. However, Bella won't allow it. Enlisting Rosalie's help as a bodyguard, with Emmett and Esme, Bella refuses to have an abortion, determined to carry the child, trusting that Edward will save her by turning her into a vampire after she gives birth and that Carlisle will save the baby if something goes wrong. Carlisle is also unwilling to disagree with Esme. As the baby continues to grow at an alarmingly rapid rate, Bella's health deteriorates. She develops an unhealthy pallor; her stomach is bruised in multiple places from the baby's movements (as it has inherited a vampire's superhuman strength); her ribs and later her pelvis, are broken. Her body has been rejecting human food, and it is only when Jacob Black bitterly thinks about the "creature" craving blood, that Edward, with his ability to read thoughts, thinks of a solution. The Cullens allow Bella to sample some donated human blood from Carlisle's work at the hospital. To Bella's surprise, it smells and tastes appealing, and revives her, to an extent. Jacob however is not so thrilled. Besides the strength and appetite of the growing baby, evidence of its vampire heritage is apparent in the hard and thick amniotic sac, resembling the skin of a vampire, making ultrasounds and amniocentesis impossible. Bella isn't the only suffering individual during the pregnancy; Jacob describes Edward as a "burning man", lifeless and self-loathing, thinking of the child as a possible case of "Rosemary's Baby": a child born of a demon, the spawn of the devil. Edward still is not completely convinced that he is not a monster and that he does have a soul.
As Bella's pregnancy nears its completion, Edward discovers he can hear the baby's thoughts; he quickly realizes that the baby loves Bella, can recognize the sounds of its parents' voices, and can even understand simple conversation. This new knowledge quickly wins over Edward's affection (Jacob Black states that Edward cannot hate anyone who loves Bella). After listening to the parents, the baby understands what hurts her mother and tries to avoid injuring her further. Bella is convinced that the baby is a boy and calls it "EJ" (which is short for "Edward Jacob"). However, she does admit that she may be wrong and the baby could turn out to be a girl. She decides that "Renesmee Carlie" would be what she would call her baby, should it be a girl (with the latter being a portmanteau of Charlie and Carlisle, the grandfathers' names). The pregnancy continues its rapid progression, and Bella goes into violent labor even sooner than anticipated when the placenta is unexpectedly detached. Carlisle and Esme, who originally planned to be there for delivery the next day, are out hunting, so Edward, Rosalie, Jacob, and Alice help to deliver the baby by C-section. Although Edward wants to wait for the morphine to spread and ease Bella's pain, Bella commands him to perform the C-section without delay, thrashing and screaming that "He can't breathe!". Rosalie starts the C-section but, due to the amount of blood involved, loses control, forcing Jacob and Alice to tackle and drag her from the room (though Rose retains enough control to not resist). Edward continues with the C-section in Rose's place, eventually using his teeth to bite through the hard amniotic sac. Bella is severely injured during the birth due to the baby's violent thrashing, breaking many ribs, losing a lot of blood, and eventually snapping her spine, which requires Jacob to provide CPR to keep her breathing. After removing the child, Edward hands the baby to Rosalie (who returned after she regained her self-control), who brings her to Bella. It is then revealed that, despite Bella's certainty that the child would be a boy, it was a girl, Renesmee. As Bella holds her, Renesmee's vampire heritage become apparent when she bites Bella, showing her inherited sharp teeth and natural desire for human blood. As Bella loses consciousness again due to her injuries, Edward injects his venom into her heart and bites her in several places, maximizing her odds of survival. After every bite, he runs his tongue over the wound and heals it, trapping the venom into her bloodstream and preserving her already low blood supply. Despite Jacob's CPR support and Edward's venom, Bella's heart stops beating. Believing Bella is beyond saving, Jacob follows Renesmee, intent on killing her in revenge. Still with Bella, Edward provides CPR himself which, combined with the venom, eventually results in Bella's heart recovering, and her conversion into a vampire.
After birth[6]EditEdit
- "A very talented family. A mind reader for a father, a shield for a mother, and then whatever this extraordinary child has bewitched us with. I wonder if there is a name for what she does, or if it is the norm for a vampire hybrid. As if such a thing could ever be considered normal. A vampire hybrid indeed!"
- ―Eleazar on Renesmee and her family[src]
Jacob Black, previously determined to destroy the monster which he believed to have killed Bella, imprints on baby Renesmee as soon as he sees her. Renesmee becomes the key to a truce between the werewolves and the vampires; other werewolves would not hurt her because of pack traditions, preventing harm to the object of a pack member's imprintee. Renesmee is very possessive of Jacob, thinking of him as her Jacob (Edward says this is because Jacob tastes better than anyone else). It is stated that she loves her parents as much as she loves Jacob, even before officially meeting Bella and Edward, or even being born. Renesmee grows at an exceptional pace, mentally and physically, forming full sentences mere days after her birth. At the end of the book Nahuel, the human-vampire hybrid the Cullens have just met, states that she will probably reach complete physical maturity around seven years after birth, physically appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, at which point she will stop aging and live to an unknown extent. It is also stated than when Christmas season starts, Nessie had many gifts in hand including an MP3 player from her father Edward, a locket from her mother Bella (inscribed with the words "plus que ma propre vie" which means More than my own life in French), and her handwoven charm bracelet from her Jacob which is the Quileute equivalent of a promise ring. She learns faster than she grows and acquires the ability to speak rapidly, though she prefers to just show people what she wants.
The Volturi[7]EditEdit
- Main article: Volturi
- "What is it?"
"Half mortal, half immortal. Conceived so, and carried by this newborn while she was still human."
- ―Caius and Aro on Renesmee[src]
While Bella, Jacob and Renesmee are in the woods hunting together, they are spotted by Irina, a member of the Denali coven, who is mad at the Cullens for not avenging her mate's death. Irina saw Renesmee and took her as an immortal child, that is a child turned into a vampire. Because of their inability to control themselves, they are not allowed to exist, and Irina, whose mother had been killed for creating one, informs the Volturi of her. Irina is not aware, however, that Renesmee is a vampire/human hybrid, growing and learning. The Volturi make the decision to come to Forks, and destroy the child. Alice sees this in a vision and decides to see if she can find help by looking for something she can't "see". She tells the Cullens they need to prepare witnesses, and leaves a clue for Bella to figure out how to get Renesmee and Jacob aliases (from J. Jenks, Jasper's friend), and then flees with Jasper. She also leaves clues to make it seem like there's no hope for at least Bella and Edward. When the Volturi show up, the Cullens have gathered witnesses from all over the world, who have seen what the child is. Though at first, the Volturi are ready to kill, they soon see through all the people willing to protect the child that she is special and should not be harmed. The deal to let her live is set when Alice shows up near the end of the trial with a mature half-vampire like Renesmee, one the Volturi have never known of. Said hybrid, Nahuel, informs the Volturi on his past, his age and his diet. They no longer see Renesmee to be a threat and leave.
Future for Renesmee[8]EditEdit
Since Jacob imprinted on her in Breaking Dawn, he has acted as a brother to her. As imprinting is how shape-shifters find their soul mates, it is likely that Jacob's feelings will become romantic when Renesmee comes of age. As happened to Nahuel, when she stops maturing at the age of seven, she will look like a seventeen-year-old teenager and cease to age for at least over a century and a half, should everything remain well for the Cullens.
Stephenie Meyer has mentioned in an interview that if she were to write further books in the Cullen universe, she'd likely narrate from Renesmee's or Leah Clearwater's perspectives[1], since the love story of Bella and Edward has reached its ending.
Physical appearance[9]EditEdit
- "Her tiny face was so absolutely perfect that it stunned me. She was even more beautiful than her father. Unbelievable. Impossible."
- ―Bella upon seeing Renesmee for the first time.[src]
Renesmee is depicted as being very beautiful; even more gorgeous than Rosalie. She has inherited both of her parents exceptional looks, having the facial features of her father Edward, (high cheekbones, straight nose and full lips) as well as his unusual bronze hair color and with her eyes being chocolate brown, just like her mother Bella's were while she was still human. However, she has also inherited curly hair from her grandfather, Charlie Swan, portrayed as ringlets that fall past her waist. She has pale skin, which has a blush to it because her heart pumps blood (though it beats faster than a normal human heart). Her skin is as tough as a vampire's, but her temperature seems to be unusually warm, only a few degrees below that of a werewolf. Unlike her family's skin, Renesmee's skin glows slightly in the sunshine like back-lit alabaster rather than sparkling like diamonds. Due to the blood flowing in her veins and her heart beating, she has red rosy cheeks, shell-pink lips, and pale lavender eyelids.
Renesmee is depicted as a kind, overwhelmingly intelligent, and fun-loving child. She has a competitive streak that prompts her to accept Jacob's hunting challenges, which keeps her motivated to drink animal blood.
As a vampire's mind is highly superior than a human's, Renesmee's mind gets into high gear even before she was born; she finds out that her movements in the womb have been hurting her mother, and tries to stop. She also likes to hear the voices of her parents, and shows affection towards Jacob. After she was born, she learns the vampire laws and limitations very quickly and understands their consequences. She can memorize perfectly anything she sees or experiences, and understands people without much problem. Bella comments that she is already more intelligent than most adults, and has better control over her thirst than any of them.
She likes to read books and listen to music, something she shares with her parents. She likes to hear Bella reading bedtime stories, but hates hearing the same ones twice, expecting therefore to hear new ones.
Renesmee shows fascination to everyone in her surroundings, despite their different species. She has also shown a selfless side, such as when she blamed herself for causing trouble to her family merely by existing, or when she takes Kate's advice to help her mother, despite Bella's protests.
- ""Suuuure you're not thirsty, Nessie," Jacob answered a little sarcastically, but more indulgently than anything else. "You're just afraid I'll catch the biggest one again!""
- ―Jacob Black to Renesmee while hunting.[src]
Renesmee can survive on either human food or blood. She doesn't like human food much and will rarely eat it. She doesn't mind drinking animal blood in order to conform to the Olympic Coven lifestyle and due to her love of humans. However, like most vampires, she prefers human blood and sees the donated blood that Bella drank while pregnant as an acceptable compromise. Given the difficulties involved in acquiring enough donated blood and in order to encourage Renesmee to drink animal blood, Jacob Black would start a friendly hunting competition between them for the biggest prey, which keeps Renesmee motivated.
Special traits[12]EditEdit
Traits of species[13]EditEdit
- "How much is she like you? How much like me? Or like I was anyway.
It seems a fairly even divide."
- ―Bella and Edward discussing Renesmee's traits[src]
Renesmee, often called "Nessie" for short, is a vampire-human hybrid. Similar to Alice's inability to see the future of werewolves, because she was never one herself, she also cannot see Renesmee. This is something that annoys her as much as the fact she can't see the wolves.
She is immensely beautiful, and her body temperature is slightly higher than a human. Renesmee has a rapidly beating heart and veins filled with her own blood. Her hardened skin glows faintly rather than sparkles like diamonds upon exposure to sunlight, which allows her to fit into the human society much better than vampires. Unlike the rest of her vampire family, she is also able to sleep. However, as a half immortal, she will continue to grow until her full maturity at the age of about seven, at which point she will appear to be about seventeen (like her father Edward) and will cease to age (as shown by Nahuel in Breaking Dawn). Unlike Nahuel, she is not venomous, a possible trait of female hybrids. Her scent is a mixture of human and vampire.
Her attractive traits and kind nature draw people (vampire or human) to her. Tanya once commented her as a "special little one, hard to resist".
Rapid growth[14]EditEdit
As a baby, Renesmee grows at an outstanding rate; this information caused great worry to the Cullens as they were unable to tell her future, most of them worried that she would have short living years. This worry comes to an end when Nahuel, another vampire-human hybrid, arrives in Forks and explains about his and his half-sisters' experience on the matter. It is implied that Renesmee's growth will slow down until it ceases at the age of seven, making her look like a seventeen or so year-old woman, by which time she may very well live for centuries, if not more.
Powers and abilities[15]EditEdit
Being half-vampire, she displays the same supernatural senses and capabilities of vampires. As a three month old, she can already leap 15 ft into the air. According to Edward, her skin is seemingly just about as impenetrable, but no one has yet tested this idea. She is born with sharp teeth that allow her to bite through skin and drink blood, but is not venomous.
Tactile Thought Projection and Anti-Shield[16]EditEdit
- Main article: Tactile thought projection
- Main article: Anti-shield
- "It's an interesting twist. Like she's doing the exact opposite of what you can."
- ―Carlisle on Nessie's opposite gifts of her father[src]
As the offspring of two gifted vampires, Renesmee has inherited the exact opposite versions of her parents' powers; while Edward can read people's minds from a distance, she can place her own thoughts and images (even feelings) into their minds, simply by touching them. This power is effective in communication; and while Bella acts as a mental shield that blocks people out from her mind, Nessie can penetrate shields, making her the only person whose mental power is immune to Bella's blockage. Also, she can unconsciously use this power when she is asleep, allowing people to see what she is dreaming. It is yet unknown how this opposition came to be.

Renesmee is the biological daughter of Bella Cullen (née Swan) and Edward Cullen, as well as biological granddaughter of Charlie Swan, Renée Dwyer, Edward Sr. and Elizabeth Masen and step-granddaughter of Phil Dwyer and great granddaughter of Marie Higgenbotham, and Geoffrey and Helen Swan. She is also the adoptive granddaughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, adoptive niece to Rosalie and Jasper Hale, and Alice and Emmett Cullen. Renée and Phil are the only ones unaware of her existence.

Bella Swan[19]EditEdit
- Main article: Bella Swan
- "I love you too... more than my own life."
Bella Cullen (née Swan) is Renesmee's mother. After Bella finds out that she is pregnant, she acquires a love for her daughter (though she thought it was a boy at first). Even when everyone tries to convince her to abort the baby (except for Rosalie because she's always wanted a baby but never figured out a way to have one), she can't because she loves it. Once Edward discovers that he can hear the baby's thoughts and it can understand their voices, the child does everything it can to keep from hurting the mother it loves. After the conception, transformation and first hunt, Renesmee and Bella finally have a real meeting. Renesmee has an unbreakable close bond to Bella, and she even loved Bella from the womb, as discovered by Edward, in Bella's final days of pregnancy. Fearing that Alice foresaw the Cullens losing against the Volturi, Bella secretly prepares legal documents for Renesmee and Jacob so that they may escape. Convinced she and Edward would not survive the encounter, Bella also gives Renesmee a golden locket for Christmas as a memento with a photo of Bella, Edward, and Renesmee inside along with an engraved French inscription meaning "more than my own life".
After the confrontation with the Volturi was resolved peacefully, Renesmee continues to live with her parents in a small cottage not too far away from the Cullen house. And Bella finally begins to call her "Nessie" after months of repelling the nickname. [20]Renesmee's father: Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen[21]EditEdit
- Main article: Edward Cullen
- "She's like nothing else in the world."
Edward Cullen is Renesmee's father. During their honeymoon, Edward and Bella unknowingly conceived Renesmee. When they realized this, Edward was far from happy. Fearing that he would lose Bella, Edward became desperate to get rid of the baby. At first, Edward asked Carlisle to remove the baby, so it wouldn't kill Bella first, but Bella refused to have an abortion under any circumstances.
As Bella's pregnancy continued, an unborn Renesmee kept hurting her and Edward's hatred of his child continued. However, during the final days of the pregnancy, the unborn Renesmee developed to the point where she had a mind that her father could read. Edward heard that Renesmee already loved her parents, understood that she was only accidentally hurting her mother, and was now trying not to hurt Bella anymore. After hearing all this, Edward's hatred vanished and was replaced with immense love for his daughter.
When Bella went into labor, Edward was the one who delivered Renesmee, as Rosalie lost control by the overwhelming bloodlust. She has spent considerably more time with her father than her mother, as Bella had to recuperate from her vampire transformation. She says dozens of times that she loves her "momma and daddy" very much, even crying when she found out that Edward and Bella would have to leave her and shared a very close goodbye with Edward before facing the Volturi. Renesmee loves Edward and Edward loves Renesmee at same length as Edward and Bella love each other.
Since Edward can read minds, Renesmee does not need physical contact to communicate with him like she does with everyone else.
Because the nickname "Nessie" appears in everyone's thoughts, it attaches to him very quickly. [22]Renesmee's imprinter: Jacob Black

Jacob Black[23]EditEdit
- Main article: Jacob Black
- Main article: Jacob Black and Renesmee Cullen
- "She's the most wonderful person in the whole world."
Jacob Black is a shape-shifter who was originally in love with Renesmee's mother, Bella. After unsuccessfully trying to steal Bella from her vampire boyfriend Edward, Jacob fell into a state of depression caused by a broken heart. Soon after this, Bella became pregnant with her and Edward's baby. Jacob was repulsed because he saw the baby the same way he saw Edward: a monster. Jacob made his hatred for the baby clear on multiple occasions, including when he became angry at Bella for saying that the baby reminded her of him. Bella nearly died giving birth to the baby, who she named Renesmee. During Bella's transformation into a vampire, Jacob believed that she had died, and went to kill Renesmee. When Jacob saw Renesmee for the first time, he imprinted on her. He then realized why he was so pulled toward Bella during her pregnancy, and why Bella was so pulled toward Jacob: because Renesmee was a significant (due to the similarities between her and her mother as a human) part of Bella, that makes her his object of imprint.
Renesmee loves Jacob the same as she loves her parents. Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee helps end the warring tension between the Cullens and the werewolves, because while she is imprinted on, she becomes untouchable to the other wolves because there is a law within the tribe that if a wolf imprints, the person they imprinted upon was not to be harmed. Jacob is the one who nicknamed her "Nessie". As part of the imprint, he would do anything for her and visit her every single day. While Renesmee is a child, Jacob is near her to protect her, nurture her, and be her best friend. Because of this, he abandons his initial plan of living the rest of his life as a wolf and dedicates to protecting Renesmee. When her maturity completes, Jacob's feelings are expected to become romantic in response to Renesmee's own feelings. In the meanwhile she makes his life unbearable by frequently and playfully biting him and drinking his blood. [24]Renesmee's adoptive aunt: Rosalie Hale

Rosalie has always wanted to have children, but is unable to fulfill this desire as a vampire since her body can no longer undergo changes. When Bella became pregnant, she came to her aid, protecting her from the rest of their family. Rosalie took the baby downstairs, while Edward injected his venom into an agonizing, almost dead Bella. After Renesmee's birth, she took care of her while Bella was becoming a vampire. Rosalie is very protective of Renesmee. Even though Bella survives, Rosalie still treats Renesmee as her own child, and now accepts Bella as a sister because she knows that she was willing to give up her life for her baby, the same choice Rosalie would have made. Renesmee enjoys Rosalie combing her hair, which she admits during a silent conversation with Bella. [26]Renesmee's adoptive aunt: Alice Cullen

Charlie Swan is Renesmee's maternal grandfather.
The Cullens initially intended to let Charlie believe that she is an adoptive child to Bella and Edward, "orphaned after his brother's death", but he figures out the truth from her chocolate brown eyes, which she inherited from him, but decides to stick with the public story to protect her and Bella. He grows fond of her after their first encounter, but Bella wouldn't let him hold Renesmee until she fell asleep, as she was attracted to his blood.
By December, they have grown very close. Charlie always visits the Cullens, though Bella, Edward, and Renesmee occasionally visit him. Renesmee wholeheartedly accepts her parents' prohibition from biting, talking out loud, and using her power in Charlie's presence in order to help him cope as easily as possible, though she can accidentally startle him by doing something too advanced for a child.

He is one of the family members who defended Renesmee's safety when Bella was still pregnant with her, but only because Rosalie, his wife, and Esme were on her side.

Jasper Hale[37]EditEdit
- Main article: Jasper Hale
Jasper Hale is Renesmee's adoptive uncle.
While Bella was pregnant with Renesmee, Jasper is forced to sit on the sidelines, only acting as Bella's bodyguard from Sam's wolf pack. When Bella was newly turned to a vampire, Jasper is always near Bella's side to prevent her from losing control, mostly he was concerned for Renesmee's safety. On one occasion, he mistook her thirst to wanting Renesmee's blood, and immobilized her while giving the baby to Edward. This indicates that he has grown a sense of caring for both Nessie and Bella.
It is unknown how close Renesmee is to her uncle after her birth since they never shared a moment together. But as they are members of the same family, it is suggested that they do care for each other.
Carmen is a member of the Denali Coven. She becomes interested in Renesmee as soon as they meet. When Edward explains that she was half-human, Carmen is the only one to show any belief to the story at all. To show her the truth, Renesmee uses her power to show Carmen her story from birth to the moment they met and convinced her completely that her half-breed lineage was truth. After she was convinced by this fact, she helps convince her mate, Eleazar, to believe the truth along with Tanya and Kate. Carmen is so infatuated with Renesmee that she is willing to testify in the Cullens' favor, and do everything in her power to protect her.
Carmen is almost always at her side to entertain her and occasionally murmurs Spanish.
Zafrina meets Renesmee when Alice sends her and her "sister", Senna, to Forks in hopes to help her family testify against the Volturi about a false accusation. To keep Renesmee entertained, Zafrina often shows her pretty pictures with her "gift", which is to project vivid illusions. Renesmee likes her entertainment so much that she becomes very attached to her, and vice versa. Although Renesmee likes Zafrina very much, Bella finds her scary and prefers to keep them from a distance.
By the end of Breaking Dawn, Zafrina makes Bella promise to bring Renesmee to South America sometime in the future, and promises Renesmee that they will be great friends.
- Main article: Nahuel
One of the rare hybrids in the world, Nahuel is 150 years old plus or minus 10. When the Volturi came to destroy Renesmee and her family, Alice and Jasper found him and brought him back to present evidence that hybrids are not a threat. Prior to meeting the Cullens, Nahuel lived believing he was inherently evil because of killing his mother and thirsting for human blood. After seeing Renesmee's family, he realized what his parents could have been if they were like Bella and Edward. Because of this, he comes to understand that his existence isn't simply evil and begins to forgive himself.
At the end of Breaking Dawn, Edward mentions that Jacob may have quite a competition when Nessie comes of age, implying that Nahuel might come to them again in the future.

This is a Very Sad world we live in..
Texas teacher accused of bringing meth to school, getting high before class
Published September 28, 2012
A Texas elementary school teacher is accused of bringing drugs to school and using them to get high before teaching students.
Police say Vicki Bruce, a third grade teacher at Reno Elementary school, kept meth wrapped in tin foil in a photo album in her purse, MyFoxDFW.com reports.
According to the arrest warrant, the PTA award winning teacher told authorities, "she utilized methamphetamines before going to work for the last seven years on and off."
Bruce allegedly had drugs in her car when police first questioned her, which will enhance the penalty. "In the warrant affidavit it will show possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone," Wise County Sheriff David Walker told MyFoxDFW.com.
The 46-year-old allegedly gave a "stay clean" drug-free speech to students, a fellow teacher tells MyFoxDFW.com.
"We had a no drug poster," Nolan McGrath, a fourth grade teacher said. "She said, 'don't do drugs. It's bad for your system and if you do, you'll get caught.'"
Bruce turned herself in when she was told of her warrant.
She was arrested on Wednesday and later released on bail. The Springtown superintendent said the district is cooperating with investigators, and Bruce, who has been with the district for 10 years, has been placed on administrative leave.

Report: Lanza Picked Newtown School Because It Was an Easy Target
Newtown shooter Adam Lanza was spending more time alone in the months leading up to the mass shooting. (Yahoo)
According to law enforcement Newtown killer Adam Lanza picked the local primary school because it was an easy target and he knew he could murder a lot of children in one attack. And he did just that.
CBS reported, via Pirate's Cove.
Law enforcement sources say Adam Lanza was motivated by violent video games and a strong desire to kill more people than another infamous mass murderer.
Sources say Lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with Anders Breivik, a Norwegian man who killed 77 people in July 2011.
Two officials who have been briefed on the Newtown, Conn., investigation say Lanza wanted to top Breivik's death toll and targeted nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School because it was the "easiest target" with the "largest cluster of people."
Evidence shows that his mind, sources say, Lanza was also likely acting out the fantasies of a video game as he killed 20 first graders and six adults at the school. For Lanza, the deaths apparently amounted to some kind of "score."

Wine industry CRM
Wine industry CRM
It is the recent project we have completed for one of our clients – a complex ecommerce marketplace. You may learn more on how to build a marketplace on your own from our posts.
CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. At its simplest, a CRM system allows firms to manage business relationships and the data and information associated with them. So, the purpose of the project was to arrange the correct work as an outsource and in-house business of wine producers and providers.
Our client is a big wine reseller who had to deal with all the providers, orders, storehouses, etc. The main problem was that he wanted to keep everything tracked at one place, as he, as the main distributor was supporting all small re-sellers.
CRM system
After researching the business we've brought up the solution to build a CRM system for him, which will include important functionality for business conduction in this field. Below we will give brief description of the major modules that have been developed.
One of the main screens is the dashboard, which shows 4 cards: Products, Direct Orders, Resellers, Financial Transactions. Each card has notifications, which are customised for each department.
Direct orders and Resellers
Direct orders are for managing orders from big storehouses, which we provide with our production directly and Re-sellers is for managing orders from wine distributors. From the first sight user can see the amount of new orders, in progress, on hold, closed, etc. on the both of the cards. If we go deeper, the user will see a worksheet with all the details information about each order and client.
Client card
Each customer has a client card, the purpose of each is for the administrator to see all necessary information, contacts, order history and additional notes about the client.
Messages are for managing new order requests. From the first site user can see all order requests as notifications in messages, which need to be approved by an administrator. To look a little further, there is more information there like the name of the requester, the name of the administrator, order status and more.
Financial Transactions
The system also has a module for finances, which are for managing all financial transactions. The user can see the type of billing, operation type, amount, date and status. It is important for us to know, which type of payment was used: Paypal, or Credit Card, for example, so the admin will be informed where to check it.
And of course, the system has its own mailbox, which is for managing communication between admin, customers, employees and other parties. The user can see simple email box interface, which is easy and comfortable in use. All emails can be divided into different departments and can have tags, so user can easily search for the needed information.
In total we've spent over 3500 man-hours for this project, including planning, design, frontend development, backend development and QA. We've used Yii Framework technology to build this system, and HTML5 & CSS3 for the frontend. The project is in support stage now with new functionality being planned for next version of it.

This breakout board provides RJ-11 jacks for up to 8 Creltek Limit Sensors. Each jack provides power, ground, and signal lines to the sensor along with proper signal termination. Miniature screw terminal blocks provide connections back to your motion control system for each sensor. "Active Low" outputs are compatible with Shapeoko 1 / 2 / 3, gShield, TinyG, Carbide 3D, and more!
Works natively with 3.3V power supplies, and an optional on-board voltage regulator also allows use with 5-18V power supplies.
The latest version of this breakout board (v2.1) provides true open-collector outputs for interfacing directly with motion controller inputs up to 24V. These outputs are "active-low" and capable of sinking over 200mA each, and switchable 4.7k pull-up resistors are included. Special noise-reduction circuitry is also included on the sensor inputs. Because the outputs are a true-open collector design, they can simply be wired directly together to "combine" the signals multiple sensors. This is perfect for motion controllers that may have a limited number of sensor inputs (e.g. 3: x, y, and z), but you would like to use two limit sensors on each axis (e.g. "maximum" and "minimum" travel sensors).
Fully assembled and ready to use, and can even be panel-mounted if desired, for a truly professional installation!
To help us make sure your breakout board is configured correctly, please specify which motion controller you plan to use it with, before purchase.
Wiring not included. Please see the Creltek Limit Sensor page for sensor wiring purchase options.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Conn.
An experimental and analytical study of the deflection and impingement of turbulent jets in a confined crossflow, a geometry which occurs in gas turbine blade impingement cooling schemes, is presented. The range of jet and crossflow Reynolds numbers investigated is directly applicable to turbine blade configuratons. A simple one-dimensional analysis using the basic conservation equations is developed to predict jet trajectory, average jet properties, and impingement point for spatially variable crossflow velocity profiles. The simplicity of the one-dimensional analysis makes it more suited to design calculations than two-dimensional jet analyses. Other crossflow velocity profiles are studied and jet development is successfully predicted by the analysis for all cases.

After the success of Bitcoins we have come across "Altcoins". Altcoins, as very much clear with the name it is the alternate to Bitcoins. Influenced with bitcoins, Altcoins has stepped in the cryptocurrency world with the similar basic framework.
Similar or different ?
"Nothing in the world is perfect, almost perfect is the word"
With huge success and revenue, we cannot say that bitcoins are perfect and so there are various areas of opportunity.
Price and Popularity
In march 2010 price of 1 bitcoin was $0.03 and now it has reached to the moon. There have been various ups and downs, however Bitcoin has managed to grow anyhow. Every rise and fall in bitcoin affect the whole cryptocurrency world. There are hundreds of altcoins in the market now, but none of them is comparable to the price of bitcoins.
When it comes to the coins Bitcoins are the most popular ones in the digital and non‐digital world.
Technical features
No wonder bitcoin is leading in popularity and price, but when it comes to, technical features, various Altcoins can address limitations of Bitcoins. Altcoins possess different hashing algorithm, block size and privacy protection.
As said, Altcoins have a similar basic framework like bitcoins most altcoins offer mining process and offers peer to peer technology to facilitate instant payments. Altcoins within themselves are widely different than each other in the areas like transaction speed, privacy, proof‐of‐stake, DNS resolution, etc. Some of the coins like ripple has enhanced protocols to make payment easy.
Though the crypto currencies seems to have strong back itself( not all but many), they are not backed by any bank or government and hence you invest in them at your own risk. It is a good investment advice, if you have a knowledge and art of playing with the coins.
As Altcoins price is very low they are basically "Pump and dump" coins and are a good option to make a profit for investors. If you are planning to invest in altcoins do check about their developers and the mechanism they follow. It is very much important to have your own research before putting your money at stake.

On this World Hemophilia Day, let us take the opportunity to come together and support those who are suffering from this inherited bleeding disorder."Light it up Red"is an initiative to include 40 landmarks around the world lit in RED for the World Hemophilia Day. let's come together to show our support for the millions who are affected by this bleeding disorder.
What Is Hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a disorder that leads to excessive bleeding; it is an inherited bleeding disorder. In Hemophilia a person lacks or has low levels of certain proteins called "clotting factors" and the blood doesn't clot properly. One in every 10,000 people are born with this disease. This rare but serious condition can have life-threatening complications. Since, hemophilia is an inherited genetic condition it is not curable but can be treated to minimize symptoms and prevent future health complications.
All the three types are caused by certain deficiency factors.
- Hemophilia A is the most common type of hemophilia. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), tells, eight out of 10 people with hemophilia have hemophilia A.
- Hemophilia B, which is also called Christmas disease, is caused by a certain deficiency factor
- Hemophilia C is a mild form of the disease. People with this rare type of hemophilia often don't experience spontaneous bleeding. Hemorrhaging typically occurs after trauma or surgery.
The degree of symptoms depends on the severity of the factor deficiency. Usually, people with mild deficiency may bleed in the case of trauma, some may bleed without reason called as "spontaneous bleeding" In children with hemophilia, these symptoms may occur around age 2.
Spontaneous bleeding can cause the following:
- Blood in the urine
- Blood in the stool
- Deep bruises
- Large, unexplained bruises
- Excessive bleeding
- Bleeding gums
- Frequent nosebleeds
- Pain in the joints
- Tight joints
- Irritability (in children)
What actually causes Hemophilia?
Normally our body has a process called "the coagulation cascade" which stops bleeding. Blood platelets coagulate, or gather together at the wound site, to form a clot. This is how the body's clotting factors work together to create a more permanent plug in the wound. A low level of these clotting factors or the absence of them causes bleeding to continue.
How Is Hemophilia Diagnosed?
All it takes a blood test to diagnose hemophilia. The doctor will take a small sample of blood from your vein and measure the amount of the clotting factor present. The sample is then graded to determine the severity of the factor deficiency:
- Mild hemophilia is indicated by a clotting factor in the plasma that's between 5 and 40 percent.
- Moderate hemophilia is indicated by a clotting factor in the plasma that's between 1 and 5 percent.
- Severe hemophilia is indicated by a clotting factor in the plasma of less than 1 percent.
Complications Associated with Hemophilia?
- Joint damage from repetitive bleeding
- Deep internal bleeding
- Neurological symptoms from bleeding within the brain
How is Hemophilia Treated?
Hemophilia A is treated with a prescription hormone. This medication works by stimulating the factors responsible for the process of blood clotting.
Hemophilia B is treated through blood transfusion from a donor with clotting factors. Sometimes, the factors may be given in the synthetic form. These are called "recombinant clotting factors."
Hemophilia C can be treated by a doctor using plasma infusion. The infusion works to stop profuse bleeding.
Preventing Hemophilia
Hemophilia cannot be cured, however, people with hemophilia should take the following precautions:
- Avoid taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- Get vaccinated (including infants) with the hepatitis B vaccine.
- Avoid circumcising male infants of women known to be carriers until the baby has been tested for hemophilia.
- Carry information at all times identifying the person as someone with hemophilia.

What is a Massively Open Online Course (MOOC)
A massively online open course (MOOC) is a learning module or series of modules that are accessible over the internet at no charge. MOOCs are intended to be available to anyone who is interested in learning and do not require the learner to complete prerequisites or an entrance exam. Interested parties can simply access the course materials and work through them at their own pace. Some MOOCs gather cohorts of learners for interactive discussion, but the majority follow the reading, lecture (video or audio), and additional resource model that still makes up the backbone of most university courses.
Breaking Down Massively Open Online Course (MOOC)
MOOCs can be created by anyone, but the most popular ones are created by prestigious institutions with well-known experts. For example, the Econ 252: Financial Markets MOOC produced by Yale in 2011 features Robert J. Shiller, the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economic Science.
Along with other forms of EdTech, massively open online courses (MOOCs) were once seen as a threat to traditional universities and the model for higher education. Some people believed students from all over the world would opt for free courses taught by the top academics in their field rather than pay tuition to attend a physical college or university. While MOOCs do remain popular, the death of the university model has not come to pass. This is because MOOCs suffer from some limitations compared to a traditional education system.
MOOC Limitations
The most apparent limitation of MOOCs is that they do not grant the learner an accreditation or certificate that will be recognized by potential employers. That is to say a learner could take all the courses necessary for a Master of Business Administration (MBA) online for free and gain the knowledge of a traditional MBA program, but there would be no MBA designation on their resume to signal to employers that they do indeed know their stuff. Universities are the gatekeepers of the degrees that act as third-party endorsements of the skills and knowledge a person holding one of their degrees is supposed to have.
Another limitation of education through MOOCs is that the online nature of the courses takes away the networking and relationship building that takes place alongside higher learning. Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Columbia and the other prestigious institutions offer as much value in the vast networks they help build as they do in the knowledge they attempt to impart on their students.
The final limitation is that the completion rates and the percentage of people that go on to transfer their learnings into a future degree are both small. There are a number of theories as to why MOOCs aren't more fully utilized. Some massively open online courses suffer from poor design both in user-friendliness and finding the appropriate level for the audience, but the bigger problem may be the fact that MOOCs are free. With no money at stake for a MOOC, the learner has nothing to lose and can quickly find better ways to use his or her time when the content gets the slightest bit challenging or boring.
MOOCs: The Future
Despite the limitations, MOOCs aren't going away. The enthusiasm for MOOCs prompted many educational institutions to take their digital future seriously. As new technologies enrich MOOCs with virtual reality and artificial intelligence (AI) bot classmates that can increase learner engagement, there will be better outcomes. Moreover, universities with successful MOOCs will be encouraged to create a business model around that success. For example, it would be more attractive to potential university students if they could challenge courses that they've completed the MOOC for rather than having to take it all over again. Or MOOCs could have a more robust authentication and testing system where a score for a learner could become an accreditation of sorts. Time will tell, but it is possible that, far from killing universities, MOOCs open up an avenue for saving them in a world of digital education.

I haven't checked the transcripts or anything, but I'm pretty sure President Obama's pending Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, was never mentioned at this week's Democratic National Convention. Garland's nomination has now been pending 135 days—longer than any Supreme Court nomination in history. And this is due to all-out, unprecedented obstruction by the Republicans. So it's a little odd that the Democrats never mentioned Garland during their convention, and never used the Republicans' obstructionism as a punching bag. Why wouldn't they use the DNC stage to hit the Republicans hard on this?
I have a theory. Some people might say the Supreme Court just isn't that important to Democratic voters; some might say too much talk about Garland or the Court would've reminded Republican-leaning voters who don't want to vote for Trump of the only defensible reason to do so. But I think there might be something else going on—something more subtle and strategic.
Hillary Clinton is about to get a bounce in the polls. It's a given. Candidates almost always get a bounce after their party's convention (even Trump got one). And the DNC just had a particularly successful convention. According to national tracking polls, Clinton still has a razor-thin lead, even after Trump's bounce (42.9% to 42.5%, as of this writing)—so her post-convention bounce should put her up by at least 3-4 points going into August. Maybe more.
Meanwhile, the Republicans currently hold 54 seats in the Senate. The Democrats need to flip only five of those seats to win back a majority—and forecasts show seven GOP seats are up for grabs, with three more looking potentially vulnerable. That's as many as ten seats within reach, when the Democrats need only five. In other words, if the Democrats get strong voter turnout in some key states this November, they could win not only the presidency but also a strong majority in the Senate. And of course it's the Senate that confirms Supreme Court nominees.
What am I getting at? Well, right now the conventional wisdom is that Republicans are blocking Garland's nomination on the outside chance they can win the presidency and fill Scalia's seat themselves; and if Clinton wins, they'll just confirm Garland after the election, during the lame duck session. This plan will work, even if the Republicans lose the Senate, because they'll still hold the majority until their replacements take office in January. The only way this doesn't work is if Garland's nomination is withdrawn. So what if the Garland nomination is withdrawn?
Look, I believe Obama nominated Garland because Garland is who he actually wants on the Court. But the Republican pitch on filling Scalia's seat is "the voters should decide." I've already explained why that doesn't make any sense—the voters decided who should fill Supreme Court vacancies when they elected Obama. But a pitch that's good for the goose is good for the gander. The GOP has handed Obama an excuse to withdraw Garland's nomination the morning after the election. (Obama: "Guys, guys, you wanted to let the voters decide, and the voters have decided they want Hillary Clinton to fill this seat.")
Do I think Obama would actually withdraw Garland's nomination? I didn't a week ago. But that was before we witnessed an entire week of the DNC, packed with speeches about Democratic goals and priorities—with plenty of talk about Supreme Court decisions that need overturning and plenty of promises to nominate justices who will overturn them—but not a single mention of confirming Merrick Garland.
My theory: If we get deep into August and the polls are showing not only a strong lead for Clinton but also promising leads in enough of those senate races, it will take only credible whispers of withdrawing Garland's nomination to make the Republicans nervous enough to go ahead and confirm him before the election. And how do you create a credible threat of withdrawal? By taking the stage before millions of viewers for a week to talk about goals and priorities, and the importance of the Supreme Court, without mentioning Garland. There was an effort to rally Democratic voters behind the importance of appointing the right people to the Supreme Court—but no effort to rally Democratic voters behind Garland. Why? Because absenting Garland from the DNC was a signal. The Party didn't commit itself to Garland. Clinton didn't commit herself to Garland. Even Obama didn't push for Garland. The signal: after this week, the possibility of withdrawing Garland on November 9 is real.
So watch the polls. Senate Republicans are already holding pro forma sessions throughout the summer, to prevent Obama from recess-appointing Garland without them. If they get nervous enough about the polls, it won't be too hard to pull together an actual session to vote on Garland. They don't even need hearings, which aren't required—because everyone already knows Garland is supremely qualified for the job. All they need is a simple majority present to vote. And it could happen before the Court begins its October Term.

The poetry of Mykhaylo Semenko, Maik Yohansen and other Ukrainian writers of Executed Renaissance got their extraordinary representation in Kharkiv Yermilov Centre yesterday.
Popular contemporary Kharkiv writer Serhiy Zhadan linked the poignant poetry of past to actual events in Ukraine and his own creativity as he interlaced the most touching and ironic poems of late writers with his pieces of poetry. That was similar to an incredible time machine of art, which together with temporary power outage in the building and candlelight instead of electricity carried the audience back to 1920s.
The viewers' reaction was emotional and heartfelt, the people did not hide their tears and admiration. Zhadan's fans were particularly pleased with some extracts from his new book he presented.
Obviously, the performance's special atmosphere was inspired by the historical theatre set, costumes and design of cult Berezil theatre, being presented in the modern art center these days within Les Kurbas in Kharkiv exhibition.
The main exhibition driving force is an ardent American director, translator and researcher of Ukrainian origin Virlana Tkacz, the founding director of the Yara Arts Group from New York. Since 1989, Virlana Tkacz has translated Ukrainian poetry, presenting Ukrainian culture to the world. Whilst this winter, she is presenting old sublime artistic Kharkiv to new Kharkivites.
The interactive exposition not only delivers rare displays but includes theatrical performances from Berezil theater repertoire, offers tours and film screenings, discussions with actors and Kurbas works researchers, lectures on Ukrainian avant-garde and urban art and Carols singers concert. Yesterday's poetry journey was part of the eventful program.
"We are very lucky to have had Les Kurbas in Kharkiv, to inherit the spirit of all these Ukrainian geniuses. We are creating our today's Kharkiv together with them and we live on in this environment," said Zhadan at the end of his performance, highlighting the connection between late and live poets and artists in Kharkiv.

Amazon rainforest hit by surge in small-scale deforestation, study findsPosted by Jim at Saturday, March 31, 2018
By Morgan Erickson-Davis
2 February 2018
(Mongabay) – A new study finds small-scale deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has been increasing over the past decade, with new hotspots emerging in Bolivia and Peru. The news somewhat dampens Brazil's touted successes at combatting deforestation, with researchers saying the country's forest monitoring system is not capable of detecting small areas of forest loss.
Over the past decade, numbers from Brazil's National Space Research Institute (INPE) have have shown big drops in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. After a spike of around 27,000 square kilometers of forest lost in 2004, INPE data indicate deforestation declined precipitously to less than 5,000 square kilometers in 2012. Since then, the data show deforestation in the region has remained relatively low compared to years past, with experts attributing the decline largely to the strengthening of environmental regulations in the mid-2000s.
However, Brazil's drop in deforestation may not be quite as big as those numbers suggest. INPE uses a satellite monitoring system called PRODES to look for tree cover loss in the Amazon, a system that has been lauded by conservationists as a big force behind the deforestation decline in the Brazilian Amazon. But PRODES can only detect canopy gaps larger than 6.25 hectares, meaning that deforestation events smaller than that may be missed.
To get a more comprehensive look at deforestation trends in the Amazon rainforest, a team of scientists from the UK and Brazil used another satellite monitoring dataset, one that can detect tree cover loss at a much smaller resolution. Produced by the University of Maryland, this Global Forest Change (GFC) dataset can detect losses in tree cover at a scale of 30 meters. Their results were published recently in Nature's Scientific Reports.
Using the GFC dataset, the team looked at deforestation events across Amazonia that happened between 2001 and 2014, finding that the vast majority – 96.4 percent – of forest loss patches were smaller than 6.25 hectares. Brazil and Bolivia were the only Amazon countries where their respective average patch sizes were larger than 1 hectare. Brazil's average patch size was 15.6 hectares, but the team found it has been declining since 2004. The researchers write that this shrinking average patch size means that large-scale deforestation events are declining and small ones are on the rise.
In total, the data indicate 34 percent of forest loss patches in the Brazilian Amazon were smaller than 6.25 hectares. In other words, the study found that more than a third of deforestation events that happened in Brazil's rainforests between 2001 and 2014 may have been too small to be detected by the PRODES monitoring system.

Amazon rainforest hit by surge in small-scale deforestation, study finds
ABSTRACT: Understanding forest loss patterns in Amazonia, the Earth's largest rainforest region, is critical for effective forest conservation and management. Following the most detailed analysis to date, spanning the entire Amazon and extending over a 14-year period (2001–2014), we reveal significant shifts in deforestation dynamics of Amazonian forests. Firstly, hotspots of Amazonian forest loss are moving away from the southern Brazilian Amazon to Peru and Bolivia. Secondly, while the number of new large forest clearings (>50 ha) has declined significantly over time (46%), the number of new small clearings (<1 ha) increased by 34% between 2001–2007 and 2008–2014. Thirdly, we find that small-scale low-density forest loss expanded markedly in geographical extent during 2008–2014. This shift presents an important and alarming new challenge for forest conservation, despite reductions in overall deforestation rates.

With some money I got for my birthday, I treated myself to a Petzl Nao headtorch. This is pretty much the top trail running headtorch and I thought that, as I spend a lot of time on the fells, and as I want to carry on running on the fells through the winter, it was a worthwhile purchase. Jonathan also got one. We decided on a night time run around the familiar Sale Fell.
It's safe to say that we were mightily impressed with the headtorch's performance. Unfortunately, my photography skills are not at the level where I can capture how the night was illuminated. At best, it might show you how dark it was up there.
