Cleaning up the Mayflower Families
Few of the Mayflower passengers have a proven ancestry. If you happen to have an ancestor numbered among the original passengers, you just might want to check the latest evidence and conclusions about their ancestors. I found that the presently accepted lines differ from those I incorporated a few years back. My particular passengers were Richard Warren and Francis Cooke and his son John Cooke. The families in my database had also seemed to pick up a few extra children along the way.
These changes illustrate an important principle; genealogy and family history should be well founded in sources and reasonable conclusions. But just as important is the fact that all historical conclusions are open to further interpretation depending on the discovery of additional facts through reliable sources. In the last two days here at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah this principle has been demonstrated again and again as people in our Family History Expos group have done their research. In one case, a researcher with an ancestor, who had a recorded birth place, found that given the date recorded, neither the town nor the county were in existence at the time of the birth. This opened up a question as to the reliability of other information in the researcher's records.
In my case, a research article in The American Genealogist, dated April of 2003, and entitled "The Marriage of Richard Warren of the Mayflower," caused some major revisions to that family's entries in my own records. This was especially true when the General Society of Mayflower Descendants had incorporated the newer findings in their series of books. If you do research in this area, you will soon see that every assertion made by the researchers is supported by a source and those facts that are not are openly acknowledged as tentative or unproven.
Not all of us have legions of researchers looking at the facts about our ancestors, but the same fundamental principles still apply. We move from the known to the unknown and try not to jump out into fantasyland. Most large businesses go through an annual audit, perhaps those of us with large databases should go through a periodic audit of our records to see if anything has changed and if what we already have makes some sense and wasn't just copied from an unreliable source.

Wow. I just glanced at Family Tree and see that there are multitudes of entries for each of these people. How do you select one to work on?ReplyDelete
James, thanks for another interesting blog. I also update my material when it applies to my family. On another note, I have some photos taken of Elizabeth Alden's tombstone, you and your readers may copy these pictures. She was the child of John and Priscilla, and married William Pabodie. http://lifefromtheroots.blogspot.com/2009/11/tombstone-tuesday-elisabeth-alden.htmlReplyDelete
I bet all the Mayflower passengers are IOUS's. I've heard they'll be able to be merged once NewFamilySearch is shut down.ReplyDeleteReplies
They are IOUSs on steroids. There are over 82 duplicate entries for Francis Cooke waiting to be combined. You literally cannot do anything on Family Tree with any of these families because, at this point, you cannot make any edits to the one main iteration of the individual because there is no guarantee that your changes will not be lost when the records are combined.Delete
As a Family tree missionary I am now merging the IOUSs of the Francis Cooke LZ2F-MM7 line. And LZ2F-MM7 is the key ID of Francis Cooke. I have found that now as old nFS is NOT controlling Family tree the big thing now causing problems in the amount of notes which can not be greater than 50. Yes I know this is a big task. I also have the Silver book of Vol 12 of the Mayflower of Francis Cooke as the guide.Delete
I realized what you were doing and was happy to see that you were involved. Thanks for the meticulous work, but we all need to realize that the same thing needs to happen with almost everyone of these early New England families.Delete

I have recently researched my three times great-grandfather, Stephen Armstrong who married my three times great-grandmother, Lucinda Hovey and Lucinda's grandmother, Asenath Cushman, was directly descended from four Mayflower families - Isaac Allerton, Stephen Hopkins, George Soule and Francis Cooke. Asenath's parents were Alethea Soule and Allerton Cushman. There was intermarriage between these families (slim pickins' for mates in 1600s Massachusetts I assume)! So, I am just more or less beginning my Mayflower journey as this is something I have found out in just the past two months.ReplyDelete
I am not sure if this is the case for all Mayflower Families, but it seems that familysearch is doing some interesting things with the family I have been working on (William White and Susanna, etc.). I have been trying to clean up the family members as much as I can, but today, I discovered that a lot of what I have been doing was basically undone and a lot of new records seemed to be added to the database. Can anyone explain what happened?ReplyDeleteReplies
It is complicated. I will do a follow up blog post tomorrow, so look for that on 29 January 2014 as an answer. Thanks for the question.Delete
Hi James,ReplyDelete
I'm very new to genealogy and as it stands am also related to Richard Warren. I'm finding it extremely confusing because I find so many sources for three different wives (all of which have "Anna" as a daughter.) So, I'm wondering in cases like these, what's the key to making sense of these so I can be sure I've got the right person?
Also, from a comment above... what are IOUS's? Thanks so much!Replies
For one thing, we will have to wait until FamilySearch Family Tree is entirely separated from new.FamilySearch.org. That will take some more time. Second, the missionaries at FamilySearch are trying to straighten all this out. So, right now, we wait.Delete

Our tax dollars hard at work.
WASHINGTON — For Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government, more battle tanks and jet fighters are on their way from the United States.
Cairo's military link to Washington has remained intact, meaning the U.S. will continue to modernize the biggest military in Africa – even as President Mohammed Morsi has decreed near-absolute power for himself and his supporters and opponents battle outside his palace.
Analysts say Egypt's military buildup presents risks for Washington – and Israel – with the growing influence of the Brotherhood, whose overriding goal is to establish Shariah, or Islamic, law worldwide.
A Pentagon statement to The Washington Times on Thursday said: "We are always reviewing our foreign assistance to make sure foreign assistance advances U.S. objectives and is being used for the right purposes."
For now, Egypt is due 200 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks, the same mechanized firepower manned by American soldiers, bringing Egypt's inventory to a robust 1,200.
Also in the pipeline is a squadron of the Air Force F-16 Falcon, a multipurpose warplane able to dogfight and drop ordnance.
The government awarded Lockheed Martin Corp. a contract in March 2010 for 20 F-16s, the last to be delivered next year. That would increase Egypt's total fleet to 240, according to a company press release at the time.
"Egypt has far and away the largest army in Africa," said Egypt analyst Robert Springborg, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.
The billions of dollars in U.S. military aid – in annual $1.3 billion stipends – have made the Egyptian air force the fourth-largest F-16 operator among 25 countries. Egypt's 4,000 tanks, including the 1,000 or so M1A1s, make it the world's seventh-largest tank army.

A&P Mechanic Jobs
A&P mechanics, who make up a large portion of mechanics for civilian aircraft, are combination airframe-and-power plant mechanics that work on all parts of the aircraft except the instruments. With expected job growth and fewer students entering the trade, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an increasingly favorable situation for job opportunities for A&P mechanics. The best job opportunities are expected at regional and low-cost carriers, as tougher competition exists at the major airlines.

|TidBITS#361 19970113
by Adam C. Engst <email@example.com>
After every Macworld Expo, I write an article expressing my thoughts about the show. For the most part, those articles haven't been particularly positive in recent years. There weren't many interesting products, and Internet support fell primarily into the "wanna-be" category. This year, however, I left Macworld Expo with a renewed sense of optimism (along with some exotic form of the flu).
The NeXT Big Thing -- The big news, of course, was Apple's acquisition of NeXT. More details on the merger were available from Apple at the show, but they only lay out in relatively rough strokes the path Apple believes it will take over the next few years. I won't delve into those details here - check Tonya's article about Gil Amelio's overly long keynote for more information.
Attitudes about the acquisition were generally upbeat, although a number of people agreed with me that Apple simply had to do something, and the specifics mattered somewhat less. A number of elderly NeXT machines were in evidence on the floor, having been pulled from the closet to show support for future operating systems directions. The main negative opinion I heard came from an ex-Apple employee who felt that purchasing NeXT was all fine and nice, but didn't solve any of Apple's real problems (mainly management, in his view).
Ex-NeXT employees and developers were coming out of the woodwork, lending an air of surrealism to some of the late night parties. An interesting level of support came from current NeXT developers, who were ecstatic about the promise of a mainstream market for their products, many of which have been on the shelf for years. One person estimated that Apple sells more Macs in a month than copies of NeXTstep (on or off NeXT hardware) have ever been sold, so it's easy to see why NeXT developers would be happy about having access to a larger market.
The Power to Be -- Despite the positive reception of the NeXT deal, the Be booth was one of the busiest; it was almost impossible to squeeze in for a look at Power Macs running Macintosh applications under the BeOS. Other companies made big splashes, including Iomega, which gave out enough big, yellow buttons for serious button geeks to armor-plate themselves.
In terms of pure showmanship though, no one even came close to Macintosh clone maker Power Computing. Continuing its "Fight Back for the Mac!" theme, Power took over an entire corner of a hall, decorating their booth in camouflage netting and other survivalist accoutrements. All of Power's staff wore black T-shirts and camouflage pants, which made for easy identification and probably more comfort than other companies' booth uniforms. Head-shots of Power Computing CEO Steve Kahng adorned posters, T-shirts, and a huge banner outside one of the two exhibition halls. Underneath Steve's visage were "Steve says" slogans about fighting back for the Mac - they were enough to unnerve a few people who thought the slogans Maoist. Power also rented an entire fleet of Hummers, U.S. Army transport vehicles, mounted loudspeakers on them, and drove them around San Francisco blaring the "Steve says" slogans.
After watching Mike Rosenfelt, Power Computing's Director of Marketing, whip a crowd into a frenzy as a Power Computing machine easily bested a Compaq 200 MHz Pentium Pro in Adobe Premiere, all I could think was that Apple could use a serious dose of that kind of enthusiasm. Apple's most significant strength has always been its loyal user base. That allegiance often wavers these days, and displays like Power's - pure, unadulterated hucksterism though it may be - help people feel there's still a fire burning in the Macintosh world.
Internet for Real -- Internet offerings at the last few Macworld Expos left me with a bad taste in my mouth, since every other company was pretending it was now an Internet company. (Never mind that most products had little or no relationship to the Internet - that was the claim.) This year, however, Internet claims were somewhat lower-key, and more important, when made they were often backed up by reality.
Booth shirts with company URLs on the back were commonplace this year, and we received fewer clueless looks when we asked for the smallest piece of paper with a URL on it, given that a business card or postcard works just as well as a glossy brochure for reminding me that I want to investigate some product further. Despite the effort and expense of printing glossy brochures, they're next to useless when stacked up against even a mediocre Web site.
Thanks To All the Little People -- A significant factor in my overall positive opinion of the show is that there were a lot more small companies. In large part, thanks are due to the people who organized the Developer Central area, the Developer Greenhouse area, and the Component 100 area, all of which gave small bits of space to companies that would never have been able to afford to appear at the Expo otherwise.
Developer Central tried to concentrate on software development tools, though I found a number of interesting products there that had nothing to do with development, including my pick for best new product of the show, 6prime's Rev, a revision control program for the rest of us (more in our next issue). The Developer Greenhouse apparently chooses the most interesting companies from a pool of applicants - I was pleased to see a number of Internet companies there, lending credence to the opinion that much of what's interesting on the Mac is on the Internet these days. Component 100 was a tightly packed group of companies showing (and selling) low-priced LiveObjects for those who have adopted OpenDoc. I was impressed with some of the tools and will be investigating them further.
Finally, a quick story. While eating breakfast with friends at the Marriott Hotel (one of the main conference hotels), I had a fascinating discussion with our waiter. He wasn't technically savvy and knew nothing about the industry other than what was proclaimed by the headlines, and yet he felt that the Mac industry was recovering well from last year. He judged everything by the mood of the people he served, and if you consider the number of people a waiter encounters in several days of a trade show, we're talking about a fairly large sample size. Last year, apparently, he had people literally crying at their tables, and the overall tenor ranged from glum to downright depressed. This year, though, he said that people seemed brighter and more upbeat, despite Apple's recently posted $150 million loss. I won't pretend this is a scientific evaluation of Apple's future, but I know I'm going to be chatting more with the wait staffs at trade shows in the future. They may prove the best analysts of public opinion yet.

On February 4, 2008, Microsoft announced that Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista had hit the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) milestone, but it would not be available for public consumption until sometime in March due to certain driver issues. Microsoft has actually already given some users SP1, which is no different than RC Refresh 2, but the Release to Web (RTW) is still in the works. Assuming Microsoft fixes the prerequisite update issue in time, the exact date for the SP1 Release to Web is reportedly March 18, 2008.
Microsoft has emphasized that certain systems will not be able to receive SP1 because of drivers that could cause problems but, once updates for the problematic drivers become available, they will be installed automatically by Windows Update. Only then will the user have the option to install SP1, if he or she so chooses.
Initially, SP1 will be available for manual download on Windows Update and the download center in five languages: English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese. It will take until April for the remaining languages to hit Windows Update; at that point, SP1 will be pushed automatically to PCs. Tech ARP claims that the remaining languages will hit on April 9 while the automatic push will begin on or after April 18. Users who do not want SP1 should disable the automatic installation of updates before this date.

Photo of 6-Month-Old Baby Holding Rifle Incites Outrage [VIDEO, POLL]
The issue of kids and guns is front and center once again.
Christopher Duffy incited a firestorm after he recently snapped a photo of his six-month-old daughter holding a rifle while they were at Woodbridge Firearms Trading Post in Woodbridge, Connecticut. The photo appeared on the store's Facebook page, but has since been removed.
"The little one actually latched onto it when I first picked it up to see how heavy it was," Duffy said. "It's actually very light, to test the weight, so I just decided to take the picture."
As for the controversy that's erupted, Duffy says he doesn't understand:
Other people being upset about it? I don't force their kids to do anything. I don't force them to do anything. My hand was on it, the bolt was open, it was safety checked. I'm not sure how wide the picture is. She's clearly in her seat just sitting up, one hand on the scope, one hand on the barrel."
Still, it's a photo that's not sitting well with a lot of people. One person said, "After everything that happened in Connecticut with Sandy Hook and everything that's going on with the gun laws, why would you have your baby holding a gun…a big gun?"
Still, another person sides with Duffy, arguing, ""It's nothing, I don't know why that would bother people to be honest with you."

Fox News (op-ed): Kristallnacht anniversary -- 75 years later incitement against Jews continues
by Daniel S. Mariaschin, executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International
November 9th and 10th marks the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the explosion of terror and destruction against German and Austrian Jews that signaled the beginning of Hitler's genocide targeting the Jewish people.
The account of the killing and the damage inflicted on those Jewish communities -- including attacks on nearly 7,500 shops, more than 1,000 synagogues and nearly 100 people killed in less than 12 hours of orchestrated mayhem -- tells only half the story. As important was the official nature of these attacks and the "they-had-it-coming-to-them" statements made by people in high places and, of course, in the government-controlled media.
There were no attempts to hide the intent to humiliate, threaten and harm the more than 700,000 Jews who lived in cities and towns large and small.
Indeed, there were no guidelines to those who carried out this massive pogrom, save for making sure that there be no fires set against Jewish-owned properties that might spread to non-Jewish buildings and neighborhoods.
Pouring massive amounts of salt into the wounds in the aftermath, the Nazi authorities demanded that the Jewish community compensate the government for the "damage inflicted against it."
Lest there be no mistaking the message being so loudly sent, thousands of Jews were hauled off to places like Sachsenhausen, a short distance from Berlin, which became the archetype for the concentration camps and death camps that would soon multiply in Germany and the lands it would occupy after the beginning of World War II less than one year later.
What that terrifying night and day represented was official incitement.
Reports of residents watching the sledgehammers crashing against shop windows and the incendiary attacks on Jewish houses of worship note many who watched and cheered those who perpetrated the destruction.
No mystery in this—from Hitler's coming to power in 1933, the Nazi regime had been setting the scene for what would occur during Kristallnacht.
By casting the Jews as Germany's "misfortune," as unclean and unwanted vermin, the Nazis were ensuring the public's absolute and unquestioning support for a pogrom against the Jewish community. And so, they destroyed Jewish property and, what was even more important, Jewish places of worship.
Under the cover of official encouragement, one could participate in the humiliation of a people, view it from a block away, or, on the morning after, take it all in with glee or smug satisfaction.
Unfortunately, incitement against Jews is still common today.
The demonization and delegitimization of Israel and the Jewish people results in regular violence against Jews around the world.
Even as we observe events of three quarters of a century ago, there are clerics in the Middle East who refer, in weekly sermons, to Jews as pigs and monkeys.
The Hamas charter has this to say: Jews hide behind rocks and trees waiting to pounce on Palestinians, so you better attack a Jew before he gets a chance to attack you.
There are frequent attempts in international forums to negate the connection of the Jewish people to its holiest sites.
Holocaust denial is a staple in many parts of the Middle East and the Islamic world; Iran's former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was only its most well-known practitioner. Language he used in carrying out this revisionism mimicked the Nazis when he called Israel a cancer to be excised from the region.
And then there is the actual comparison of Israelis to Nazis made regularly by heads of state and diplomats, the media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
They claim Israel's security fence is "akin to the Warsaw Ghetto," Israel commits "round-ups and deportations," and—most significantly—Israel is guilty of "genocide" against the Palestinian people.
Today there is renewed talk about a two-state solution to once and for all resolve the contentious Israeli-Palestinian issue. But how can we realistically expect such an outcome if the Palestinian Authority (PA) doesn't educate for peace?
When the Oslo Accords were signed 20 years ago, Israel and the Palestinians were each tasked with fulfilling certain obligations. The Palestinians were asked to do three things: dismantle the terrorist organizations, arrest those who carry out acts of terror and end the incitement.
The record is sadly wanting: the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade, connected to Fatah, is by definition and by its own admission through claiming credit for acts of terror, a terrorist organization. The arrest record has been inconsistent.
But when it comes to incitement, the PA continues full steam ahead, notwithstanding the current round of negotiations with the Israelis. Indeed, a Palestinian baby born on the day the Oslo Accords were signed has only known a steady diet of hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people.
Some would say that comparisons between Nazi Germany and this Middle East conflict is misleading or, at least, hyperbolic. After all, a modern state of Israel, with a cutting-edge army, exists today and did not then. However, no one is stating that the acts carried out in Nazi Germany 75 years ago are akin to what is happening on the ground in the region today.
But the intention to defame and delegitimize a people and the state that represents half of all the Jews in the world; to use language that casts them as less than human or manipulative and cunning; and to attempt to erase their history invites comparisons to a dark and haunting past.
Incitement, especially when it comes wrapped in official approbation, leads to unbridled hatred.
No agreement between Israelis and Palestinians can possibly stick when official spokespersons, media outlets, clerics and semi-official NGOs are dedicated to demonizing their neighbors. That's a lesson that can be learned from the events of 1938, notwithstanding the passage of time...more.

VALHALLA, N.Y. -- Several Stonehill College students, including Valhalla native Peter Giannini, sang for Pope Francis as part of the Stonehill Chapel Choir's seven-day pilgrimage to Italy.
The honor of singing for the Pope came as part of a weeklong pilgrimage to Italy for 32 Stonehill students, three alumni, three college staff, and 17 family members.
In addition to the performance for the Pope, the choir, which is known for its joyful liturgical music, provided music for Mass in St. Peter's Basilica and a concert at the San Lorenzo International Youth Center, according to a release from Stonehill College.
Along with the performances in Rome, the group visited Florence and Assisi to savor Italian culture, art and history, the release said.
The Stonehill Chapel Choir consists of both singers and instrumentalists of all faiths who provide musical leadership for the college's Sunday evening services in the Chapel of Mary on campus.
The choir also provides music ministry at the majority of major events on campus; and individual students provide music ministry to several parishes in the Fall River Diocese and the Archdiocese of Boston, sharing the skills and knowledge that they build at the college, according to the release.
"We are deeply honored to act as ambassadors for Stonehill through this year's pilgrimage," said Phil Pereira, Campus Minister for Music & Liturgy at Stonehill College. "This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that these students, parents, and staff will cherish forever."
Giannini is studying chemical engineering at Stonehill, and in addition to the choir, the other student activities in which he's involved include the BioChemistry Club, Moreau Honors Program and Peer Mentor. He graduated from Westlake High School in Thornwood last year.
Stonehill is a Catholic college located near Boston on a 384-acre campus in Easton, Mass.

Information divided by age?
We figure you know what you want to talk about better than we do, so why not give us a hand in picking topics?

Information divided by age?
I think it would be great to have like something divided into age groups...preschool and kindergarten, then maybe elementary 1-5, middle 6-8, high school 9-12, and maybe a college bound section. Think this would make it easier to go through the multitude of useful information. Just my thoughts though. thanks
We do have a preschool area, which could be expanded into preschool and kindergarten, and we also have a high school and college prep area. In between that, I'm not sure about subdividing into elementary 1-5 and middle 6-8. What does everyone else think?
Also, what you're suggesting is division by grade more than age
Also, what you're suggesting is division by grade more than age
Well there are tons of great info on this site. I just feel if it were divided that way you could find more easily things that are applicable to your childs age or grade. Was just a thought having been surfing this site quite a bit lately and as a newby. May not be what works for everyone else though. And i did notice the preschool and highschool area's after i posted this. But even subdividing more to elementary and middle school age's would be very nice i think. Thanks for considering my point of view.
I'm just wondering how that would fit in with our subject-based area.
I'm in favor of that in theory, it's just that if we subdivide too far then there won't be enough posts.

We cannot sustain life without healthy, thriving forests. That is why Greenpeace campaigns for their protection and on this International Day of Forests, we want to share with you a few reasons why you should help.
Failure to protect forests threatens our homes and livelihoods.
Local women and children on a road coming from a water hole, in the DRC. 03/14/2008
Not only do they absorb carbon, but they store just under 300 billion tonnes of carbon in their living parts. It's estimated that deforestation is responsible for 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Destroying them will not see that figure reduced.
Single tree in a soy field next to rainforest, south of Santarem and along the road BR163 in the Brazilian Amazon. 02/11/2012
In the last few hundred years extinction rates have increased by up to a thousand times. This rate could increase further if we do not protect our forests.
Baby orangutans at the Orangutan Foundation International Care Center in Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. 09/14/2013
70% of the plants identified as having anti-cancer characteristics by the US National Cancer Institute are found only in tropical rainforests. About a quarter of drugs used in conventional medicines are derived from rainforest plants.
Aerial view of the Congolese rainforest. Taken on a flight from Kinshasa to Bumba. 05/11/2008
Corporations must clean up their act and governments must enforce strong legislation to protect what forests remain. Today, over 10,000 people are storming Twitter and Facebook under the hashtag #StandForForests to show the world that forests must be protected.
You can take action too. We uncovered widespread forest destruction in the supply chains of consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble. For months now, this company has not responded with a promise to guarantee forest friendly product.
Sign up here to get involved. Together, one step at a time, we can achieve zero deforestation!

Investor Jim Rogers reads a current issue of Farm Journal, quite different than the magazine he sold in the '60s.
Written by Sara Brown and Sara Schafer
In some way, agriculture plays a role in all of our lives. In an interesting twist, internationallyknown investor and business author Jim Rogers got his first taste of agriculture not by working the land but by selling magazines.
In 1961, Rogers was attending college in Iowa. "I was an 18-year-old kid, walking from farm to farm with another college student, selling Farm Journal for a nickel a copy," he says.
One day the local sheriff got suspicious about the two unknown boys and decided to investigate. Rogers says they explained they were working their way through college selling Farm Journal. After confirming they were legitimate, the sheriff then asked where they went to college. "My buddy said, 'I go to Princeton, and Jim goes to Yale.' The sheriff replied, 'I should arrest you just for that. I couldn't even get into the University of Iowa.' "
After being fond of agriculture and farmland for decades, Rogers recently returned to Iowa to speak at a farmland investment conference. "I'm very optimistic about farmland and farming," he said. "People used to think I was nuts when I said farming was going to be great. They thought I was joking—and now they are all trying to buy farmland."
Farmland will be a great way to preserve and increase wealth over the long run, he adds. What intrigues him most about agriculture is the high average age of the U.S. farmer.
"We are running out of farmers. I'm not suggesting agriculture will be the promised land for the next century, or even 50 years, but I would urge young people to think about farming," he says.
What a Day!
Worse than Snow
A busy harvest season this past fall had the farm employees working late into the night. This farmer went in for a short nap and came back out the next morning to find a blanket of corn on the ground!
If you've had one of those days—or caught someone else's on film—we'd love to share it with our readers. E-mail high-resolution images to [email protected], or mail prints to What a Day!, Farm Journal, P.O. Box 958, Mexico, MO 65265. Photos for publication will be selected on a first-come basis.

A puddle of melted ice cream transformed the way Eric Telchin views the world. Now, Eric's intention is to create artwork that changes the way the world views the world.
On July 31, 2009 Eric hosted a party for a friend at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. While serving his guests sundaes, he spilled chocolate ice cream on his kitchen counter. Before he could wipe up the puddle of melted ice cream, he noticed it miraculously formed a heart. Amazed, he photographed this first found heart with his iPhone's camera. Since then, Eric has seen and captured hearts in the most extraordinary (as well as mundane) places such as animals, litter, food and nature.
In the subsequent year-and-a-half, Eric has seen and photographed more than 1300 found hearts with his iPhone. He transforms these images into abstract matrices as well as representational designs. He launched Boy Sees Hearts in October, 2010 with the purpose of sharing the art and message of the hearts with others. For some, these hearts represent viewing one's surroundings from a perspective of appreciation. For others, these hearts represent universal love.
When people from around the world began emailing Eric photos of hearts they began seeing, he launched World Sees Hearts, a destination for people to share their found hearts. 50% of proceeds from Eric's World Sees Hearts artwork is donated to the It Gets Better Project, a charitable organization which encourages LGBT Youth to view the world optimistically.
In November 2010, producers from ABC's primetime hit, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" commissioned Eric to create a 10ft x 9ft "Heart Wall" for a Texas family's home featured on an episode airing in early, 2011.
In December, 2010 Eric launched a line of Limited-Edition Gallery Pieces at Karen Lynne Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida. This collection elevates the found hearts to a more abstract and dynamic level. "In the gallery pieces, the viewer is challenged: Challenged to negotiate the more frenetic energy of these more complex composition; challenged to find the hearts within the iPhone captures." Telchin says. These larger-than-life Limited Edition Pieces are printed on metallic paper, backed with aluminum and faced with plexi-glass, creating an imposing and sleek effect, escalating the hearts to not only a bigger scale, but more polished and sophisticated presentation.
"In less than two months, these hearts have reached people across the globe. They've been commissioned for a smash hit on primetime network TV. A Limited Edition series is featured in the most incredible gallery in South Florida. What's most inspiring to me, however, is the little girl who e-mailed me after she had a tough day until she saw heart in her grilled cheese sandwich." Eric said.
Eric Telchin studied Fine Art at the George Washington University as a Presidential Arts Scholar. Previously, his work has been featured in the New York State Museum, in Albany, New York as well as the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C..

On an average, every individual gets at least one mobile or email notification stating that the user has won many hundreds of thousands of dollars in an online lottery that they may not ever remember entering. But in almost all such cases, the 'winner' usually ends up a 'victim' of cybercrime.
And with increasing use of technology and mobile for financial transactions, the numbers are only expected to increase. According to research and advisory firm Gartner, Worldwide mobile payment transactions is said to reach $235.4 billon in 2013 and nearly 245 million people using such services. With increasing smartphone sales and usage in India, the number of people falling victim to such crimes is also on the rise. According to anti virus maker Norton, the number of cyber crime victims in India (2012) was 42 million people against the global (24 countries) average of 556 million.
Norton states that that the average direct cost per cybercrime stood at an average of Rs 10,585 in 2012. "There are many ways that sensitive information is hacked as a result of cell phone usage. The most common are due to installation of uncertified applications," Jatinder Pal Singh, a Bangalore-based networking security consultant told Express.
He states that smartphone users seldom check for security certificates and download apps (games, music and other software) from third party or unsecured sites. "Mobile banking apps store data such as PIN, account number on the phone. So there is a risk that if the phone is hacked or stolen, then the information is compromised," he said.
According to National Crime Records Bureau, 2,876 cyber cases were registered under IT Act in 2012 as against 1,791 cases (2011) posting a 60.6% increase yoy. IT solutions company Unisys says mobile frauds are an area of concern for companies as well as 20-30% of financial transactions are done via mobile devices and this is expected and this is expected to grow to 50% by 2015.
"There is no foolproof system to avoid hacking. But consumers can take caution in the sites the browse and the information they share online. As long as they are connected to the internet, the risk element will always be there," Jatinder says.

A solution to $4-a-gallon gas could be floating in your neighborhood pond.
Algae -- that green, oil-saturated substance that can double in size overnight and is ever-present in this land of 10,000 lakes -- is being touted in an Anoka lab as a potential answer to the fuel crisis.
Scientist Clayton McNeff says algae-based biodiesel fuel can be sold for $2 a gallon. Mark Rasmussen, a microbiologist who works for McNeff's SarTec Corp. in Anoka, says algae's potential is vast. Using just 3 percent of our current crop land, algae could be used to produce 63 billion gallons of the diesel fuel currently used annually in the United States, he said.
More than 35 countries have contacted SarTec, asking how they, too, can capitalize on this algae-based formula that was developed, in part, by an Augsburg College student, who explained the process to Congress in the spring. SarTec's owners are so dedicated to this algae formula that they will open a two-towered fuel producing plant, to be called Ever Cat Fuels, in Isanti in October.
But the algae formula also has provided fuel for skeptics.
"Algae will grow faster than a forest or a cornfield, but how much of it is actually available?" asked Lanny Schmidt, University of Minnesota Regents professor in chemical engineering and materials science.
"I know about algae and I think it's great stuff, but there's a lot of chemical engineering that goes on before algae can be converted to fuel. And if you can't produce it for less than $3 a gallon, will people be interested?"
Schmidt has been a critic, yet admits he is "captivated" by algae's possibilities and says "our nation needs to support stuff like this." The attraction of this green plant goes beyond going green to collecting green.
Because it isn't a food-producing crop, algae generally wins high praise, particularly from critics of corn- and soy-based fuels. And while an acre of soybeans will produce only 70 gallons of biodiesel fuel, an acre of algae can produce up to 1,200 gallons, said McNeff. Other reports say as many as 9,000 gallons can be produced.
The genesis of the idea
The genesis for this potentially revolutionary fuel formula began with an Augsburg College research project two years ago. Student Brian Krohn asked his adviser, Arlin Gyberg, if he could research making biodiesel from waste cooking oil.
Krohn found that using solid acids as catalysts could convert plant oil to biodiesel, said Gyberg, now in his 42nd year at Augsburg. When Krohn's initial experiments failed, he realized that much of the technology used to convert plant oil to fuels was developed before World War II.
Enter McNeff, who grew up in Wayzata and whose dad, Larry McNeff, was a longtime Cargill employee. Twenty-five years ago, Larry and Marie McNeff decided to start their own plant, which develops yucca plant-based natural products. Young Clayton, an only child, was 14 when he began working for the family company.
"I loved the work ethic I saw in my parents," Clayton McNeff said at the plant, where his parents are found most days with 40 other employees. "You couldn't help but being absorbed by what was being done here. I fell in love with science."
So much so that he became a world-renowned expert on zirconia, the metal oxide of zirconium. Krohn recalled how six years ago, McNeff had given a seminar on zirconium, which McNeff says is a "catalyst that can speed up chemical processes by thousands of times."
Krohn, who is currently vacationing in Greece, and Gyberg visited McNeff at SarTec, where they and SarTec scientist Bingwen Yan developed what they call the Mcgyan Biodiesel Process (named after McNeff, Gyberg and Yan).
Here, in simplest form, is how it works:
Start with an oil or fat -- from pine trees, hamburger grease, French fries, algae, almost anything. The oil or fat is combined with an alcohol. The mixture is then pumped through a tube filled with a catalyst -- in this case, zirconia. The end result is a liquid that's about 60 percent alcohol and 40 percent fuel.
"We're using zirconia to separate the compounds," McNeff said. "But in separation science, you don't want to change the molecule you are trying to analyze. You do not want things to react in separation science. "
The companies and countries that have contacted SarTec love the process because, McNeff says, it can be cost-effective and environmentally friendly -- and it's portable.
On the parking lot outside SarTec's Anoka office are four trailers. In each are homemade contraptions that take algae through the process of becoming fuel. When prospective clients see the trailers, they realize how quickly and efficiently a makeshift plant could be set up.
To scientists and academics such as Schmidt, it all makes sense.
"Algae's a hot topic right now," he said from his University of Minnesota office. "We need a next generation of biofuels.
"Nobody knows if these things are going to work, but that's the way it should be. We need radically new fuels. So we've got to keep on hunting."
'An innovative process'
In the SarTec plant, Rasmussen stood over two vats of homegrown algae. Converting the green stuff into fuel is a lot like growing bushels of tomatoes and converting them into sauce. Just as it takes a ridiculous amount of tomatoes to make a jar of sauce, it takes a lot of algae to produce the hardened algae flakes from which oil is extracted.
It's worth the effort, said Douglas Root, a senior scientist of biomass and renewable products technologies with the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute in Marshall, Minn.
"All biodiesel fuel fans should be watching with high hopes," he said of the new Ever Cats Fuels in Isanti. "I think Dr. McNeff and the SarTec team have discovered an innovative process for producing biodiesel."
McNeff is confident that the Ever Cats Fuel plant will produce 30 million gallons of biodiesel fuel within three to five years.
For his family, the past two years -- since the advent of the Mcgyan Process -- have been a whirlwind.
"But think about the 1970s, when there was a gas shortage and people panicked at the pumps," said Larry McNeff. "Then, once the lines at the gas pumps went away, people forgot about the crisis. But that was the time that something should have been done.
"This is the time for this."

This beautiful orang-utan sat just metres from me, serenely eating the fruit placed on the platform. It's an incredible experience to see these creatures so close, and yet so at ease in their forest home. But this orang-utan represents an endangered species, and her forest home is under threat.
Until recently, this feeding station and the surrounding forest was part of a protected national park, but no longer. It is now owned by a palm oil company, Bumitama, that proudly boasts of its aggressive expansion plan, with 15,000ha pegged for new palm oil development this year – that's nearly 60 football pitches per day!
But for now, this orang-utan is lucky.
An orang-utan graveyard
In August 2013, a Greenpeace International investigation with Friends of National Parks Foundation (FNPF) exposed a crime scene inside Bumitama's new concession (PT ASMR) and just a few metres away from the oil palm plantation of PT BLP (part of BW Plantation). Here investigators documented an orang-utan skull.
Since March 2013, the remains of several orang-utans have been documented by Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) and FNPF in different locations along the border between the two palm oil concessions. In a letter to authorities requesting urgent intervention, the organisations describe the area as an orang-utan 'graveyard'.
Police investigations are now in process and it is their responsibility to determine how these beautiful animals died and who is responsible.
Pending judgment by the authorities, it is disturbing that such horrific incidents have been revealed to have taken place in such close proximity to the concessions of two RSPO members – BW Plantation and Bumitama – without those companies making public statements of concern. Recent requests by Greenpeace and journalists for information about the status of the police investigation have failed to obtain a satisfactory answer from officials.
Tragically, Bumitama has been in the spotlight before. The operations of Bumitama's PT Ladang Sawit Mas, a company whose concession covers nearly 6,500ha in West Kalimantan, came to public attention in early 2013 due to the release of dramatic images documenting the rescue by International Animal Rescue Indonesia (IAR-I) of four malnourished orang-utans.
And it's not just orang-utans
Every year, Indonesia is losing an area of rainforest equivalent to over 100 Manhattan islands (620,000ha), which is pushing all sorts of iconic animals to the brink of extinction. In Indonesia's island of Sumatra, as few as 400 Sumatran tiger survive, with habitat destruction from palm oil a chief threat to their future.
So what can be done?
Greenpeace believes that palm oil can be produced responsibly. Palm oil can – and must - make a genuine contribution to Indonesia's development, rather than destroying the future for its people, its wildlife and the global climate on which we all depend. But leadership starts somewhere.
Unilever today announced steps to deal with deforestation - who's next?
Just today, at the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil AGM in Indonesia, one of the world's biggest consumer goods companies, Unilever, announced steps to deal with deforestation. It joins Nestlé, which has already committed to a No Deforestation Policy. If we can make more consumer companies introduce similar policies, then we will be placing more and more pressure on the whole industry to clean up its act – including on players who dominate the palm oil industry.
Wilmar – the world's largest trader of palm oil and derivative products – is a 'cornerstone investor' in the Bumitama group and accounts for 70% of Bumitama's palm oil trade, as well as over 30% of trade from BW Plantation. Just a couple of weeks ago, we exposed how Wilmar is trading palm oil from companies destroying tiger habitat in Sumatra.
Wilmar sits at the centre of a global web of corporations – stretching from irresponsible oil palm producers like Bumitama and BW Plantation to the companies behind household brands – that make us all, as consumers, unwitting accomplices in this destruction.
Sign up here and find out how you can take action!
Wilmar trades more than a third of all palm oil traded internationally. It can transform the palm oil industry if it wants to. We challenge Wilmar to take up the leadership role that comes with its dominance of global palm oil supply. Wilmar must clean up its palm oil supply chain, and exclude all trade of palm oil products linked to forest and peatland destruction.
Wilmar needs to meet this challenge now. The orang-utans and tigers can't wait much longer.

This is outrages!!! How come we have to fight the whole time to save animals from extinction!! why can there not be a law that prohibit anyone from just taking over animal (their) kingdom? why do we need coconut oil so badly that we must destroy their natural habitat and kill them to start up something like coconut oil plantations. surely there are other open plains and fields where that can be done without endangering the extinction of these beautiful animals??

I totally agree with you DbC, PALM oil is not necessary and the destruction it has caused is so mind boggling it is beyond my comprehension as to the necessity to destroy so much wildlife.
Nothing but greed and disrespect for life can do such atrocities and the self inflicted ignorance of those who choose NOT to help their own mother earth and all her children. Selfish and useless people allow this destruction to continue and not even caring or concerned that they are destroying their own futures. God help us is all I can do and pray for and sign Petition's daily!

The average family in Scotland last spent quality time together with their loved ones one and a half months ago, according to new statistics released by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for its Wear it. Beat it. fundraising campaign.
A new survey by the BHF has revealed the stresses of modern day living are putting a considerable strain on family life.
One in thirteen (8%) people from Scotland said the last time they spent quality time with their family was over a year ago, or not at all.
One in five parents in Scotland said they leave the house at least once a week without seeing their children. More than a quarter (26.5%) of the nation's parents also said they're so busy that in an average day they often don't spend any time whatsoever with their children, and many (28%) had missed an important occasion because of it.
More than a third of parents (35.6%) in Scotland worry their children spend far less time with their family than they did when they were young. While it might be work getting in the way for busy parents, a quarter (25%) worried that social media is distracting their children away from quality family time when they are home. One in ten (10%) said it's because everyone's busy schedules just didn't match up.
Almost two thirds (63%) of those polled from Scotland said they feel guilty that they don't spend enough time with their loved ones. The BHF Scotland is encouraging families to get together on Friday 9 June for the charity's annual wear red day.
By donning your favourite red garments and organising a red fundraising event, you can help support life saving research in the fight against heart disease. Sign up at WearitBeatit.org.uk
Donna Spriggs Elliott, Head of Community Fundraising at the British Heart Foundation, said: "It's clear that our busy modern day lifestyles, and the stresses of the daily grind, are keeping us from spending time with our families.
"Heart disease devastates the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Scotland, often without warning, so finding a way to break away from our normal routines to spend time together is important and our Wear it. Beat it. day is the perfect opportunity.
"By taking part in Wear it. Beat it. and raising money for our research, you can help us beat heart disease for good."
Last year more than 15,000 people took part in Wear it. Beat it. raising over £750,000. The BHF Scotland is calling for even more of you to get involved this year and help raise in excess of £1million for the charity's heart research.
It could be a yummy red bake sale after school or a red-themed garden party with friends and family. Whatever you choose to do, Wear it. Beat it. is a great way to bring everyone together and help make a difference to millions.
Once you sign up, you'll receive a free fundraising kit jam-packed with reddy-made ideas and goodies to help make Wear it. Beat it. the BHF's biggest, reddest and best year yet.
Sign up to Wear it. Beat it. at WearitBeatit.org.uk or call 0300 330 0645 and get your free fundraising pack full of fun ideas about how to get involved.

Judge Orders Limewire To Shut Down; Limewire Pretends It Can Still Exist
from the yeah,-ok deptThis is hardly a surprise, given the earlier ruling, but the judge in the Limewire case has now ruled in favor of the RIAA that Limewire needs to shut down "the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality." Basically, all of the functionality. Amusingly, Limewire is pretending it can still function without any... er... functions:
An important point of clarification, LimeWire is not "shutting down", in specific regarding our software, we are compelled to use our best efforts cease support and distribution of the file-sharing software, along with increased filtering. And, that is what we are doing.Of course, we've seen similar file sharing apps make similar claims when the judge's hammer came down, and they all went away. Of course, it's not like this actually means anything, other than the fact that people who want to file share have already moved on to other apps and services (mostly overseas) that are even less likely and less willing to work with the recording industry, and which will be that much harder to shut down. One by one, the RIAA has killed off the few firms that actually had an interest in trying to work with the industry, so everyone has gone to the groups that want nothing to do with the RIAA in any format.

A legendary football executive, a historic team and perhaps the most respected NHL referee in the sport's history are the subjects of three terrific sports books – all with significant local connections. Avid sports fans should consider these books, as either presents for sports-loving friends or as a bit of well-deserved self-indulgence.
While many could argue that the title belongs to Kenesaw "Mountain" Landis, baseball's first commissioner, it is clear from Robert S. Lyons' terrific "On Any Given Sunday: A Life of Bert Bell" (328 pages, Temple University Press, $35) that the Philadelphia native was the most powerful executive in the history of American team sports.
Born De Benneville Bell to a wealthy and powerful family, Bell attended the Haverford School and went on to quarterback the University of Pennsylvania football team from 1915 until entering the military in 1918. He led his team to the 1917 Rose Ball game.
After World War I, Bell returned to Penn, where he later coached, before founding the Philadelphia Eagles in 1933. Thirteen years later he became the sport's commissioner, presiding over a sport that was to grow into a national passion.
He oversaw the expansion of the league, the arrival of TV as a major opportunity for the sport and the emergence of the NFL Players Association. He dealt with a gambling scandal, much as Landis had after the infamous 1919 Black Sox affair. For many years he single-handedly drew up the NFL schedule on a large chart on his dining room table. He also founded the Maxwell Club and was an inaugural inductee in the Football Hall of Fame.
Bell is probably best known for being the man who said "On any given Sunday, any team could beat any other team." He died, appropriately, at Franklin Field in the final moments of an Eagles/Pittsburgh Steelers game.
Bell was a fascinating personality whose life is vividly brought to life in Lyons' book. A Philadelphian who for years was head of the La Salle College News Bureau, Lyons captures eloquently Bell's strengths and quirks in a book that is really good history, fascinating sports and revealing biography.
The Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest continuous one-city, one-nickname franchise in sports. Its history began in 1883. All of that history is captured in the impressive coffee-table book "Phillies: An Extraordinary Tradition" (252 pages, Insight Additions, $50). Put together by long-time Phillies PR maven Larry Shenk and Scott Gummer, the book covers all of the parks, the stars, the highs, the lows and much in between.
The copy, written by a number of different people, ranging from Phillies President David Montgomery to ESPN broadcaster Jon Miller, is crisp, enlightening and entertaining.
What makes the book so special is the more-than-400 photographs it includes and inserts including memorabilia from the team's 127-year history.
Many of the photos have never been published before. They're all worth seeing. Coffee table books are often more for decoration than anything else. This one is for reading, perusing and enjoying.
The last game that Kerry Fraser worked before he retired as an NHL referee in April after a 30-year career was a Flyers/New York Rangers game at the Wachovia Center.
This wasn't just any game. The winner would go to the playoffs and the loser would go home. It was a barnburner, a game that was decided in a shootout that the home team won, beginning the Flyers' epic journey to the Stanley Cup finals.
It is that game which forms the beginning and the end of Fraser's delightful "The Final Call: Hockey Stories from a Legend in Stripes" (286 pages, Fenn Publishing Company, Ltd., $29.95). In between those bookends, Fraser recounts an amazing career that lasted long enough for him to have officiated more games – 2089 – than any ref in NHL history.
During that time, in what he calls a great honor (he's a Canadian who now lives in New Jersey), he worked games that involved many of the greatest players in the history of the game: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, Ray Bourque, and Martin Brodeur among them. He worked a dozen Stanley Cup Finals, the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
The stories he tells are funny, often at his own expense. They are also enlightening about what it takes to be an official in any team sport, most especially in the one that is universally viewed as the hardest to referee.
Hockey fans will doubtless enjoy this more than others, but it's so clearly written and his passion and decency so apparent that any sports fan will be enriched by spending time with the man many say is the best official of any sport ever.
What comes across so clearly – and probably why the players always viewed him as the most consistent referee – is his willingness to let the game speak for itself.
In an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News' Rich Hofmann after that final dramatic game, Fraser said, "It was all on the line – we called what we had to call and didn't get in their way."
Another element of his success was his sense of humor. When four of the famed Broad Street Bullies – Bill Clement, Bob "The Hound" Kelly, Orest Kindrachuk and Dave "The Hammer" Schultz – became American citizens this fall, Fraser recounted his first encounter with that team, as a linesman called up in 1975 for a game at the Spectrum. "They scared the heck out of me," he said. "But I think it's wonderful that these fine gentlemen are becoming U.S. citizens. From a homeland security position, I feel our country is a lot safer than it was yesterday."
Hockey is a better game because of Kerry Fraser. Football is a better game because of Bert Bell. Philadelphia is a better place to live because of the Philadelphia Phillies. These three books tell you why.

The 103rd release on Majestic Family Records finds Gvozdini making his debut appearance on the label.
Download Link: www.beatport.com/release/lemberg/1394715
The Ukrainian producer is fresh off his 'The Perfect Way For Us' release on Balkan Connection and has also delivered great remixes for Stellar Fountain and PHW Elements. Gvozdini's debut single for Majestic Family is entitled 'Lemberg' and it comes with remixes from Phoebus, AudioStorm and Twitchin Skratch.
The original mix leads the release off with a smooth hypnotic groove that's well complemented with nice electronic accents and scattered claps. The driving percussion and soft rhythms give the piece great energy and as the lead stabs enter things are quite peak time. The main break furthers the melodic theme with a growing wave of mesmerizing synths. The climactic build is eventually met with a powerful re-entry and a huge second half finish which would have to be one of Gvozdini's best works this year.
The first remix is provided by Phoebus who is making his first appearance on Majestic Family. The Greek producer has been having a great year with releases on John OO Fleming's JOOF label and Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic's Mistique Music. For his 'Lemberg' interpretation Phoebus has reworked the original elements into a gorgeous club construction. Rolling grooves, vibrant electronics and crisp drums all meld together for a pristinely produced dance floor gem. It's a great complement to the original and the dreamy second half is full of great emotion. Awesome remix from Phoebus.
The second interpretation is provided by AudioStorm who is also making his debut on Majestic Family. The Montenegrin producer has been one of 2014's unsung heroes in the progressive house underground His releases on System Recordings, Sleepless Nights and Magic Room have all been awesome. For his 'Lemberg' remix AudioStorm has stripped things down just a touch and crafted a smooth, percussive interpretation that really hits the spot. Fueled by trippy lines, unique stabs and a mind bending breakdown AudioStorm's remix offers something quite different than the previous versions. Well done.
The third and final remix is provided Twitchin Skratch who is returning to Majestic Family for his second appearance. The Chicago based producer has performed with some of electronic music's most well known artists including Mark Knight, ATB, Benny Benassi and Green Velvet. His first appearance on Majestic Family was a remix for Marc Pollen's 'Wrong' which was released in July of this year. For his 'Lemberg' interpretation Twitchin Skratch has delivered a quirky tech house rework that makes great use of the bubbly electronics and smooth rhythmic components from the original. The bottom end has been radically revamped and presents a much funkier approach which not only adds nice variety to the release but should be perfect for a wide range of dance floors. Great stuff from Twitchin Skratch and a nice release from Majestic Family Records.

Welcome! This is your Friday Open Thread for you to share what is on your mind. It's like a regular article, but with more cuteness and music!
Here are some sweet tunes to start your day.
New Indie: September 2013 from mykal on 8tracks Radio.
Let's discuss something fun... Maybe about your phone's homescreen and how awesome it is? How about about the desktop computer you recently had to rebuild because you're dumb and broke it? Oooh, I know. Let's talk about whatever you want!

Well it seems the MSVS bug of failing to recompile headers after changes have been made is not isolated to pre-compiled headers.
Just today I was setting some u,v coords in a constructor for a structure in a header file and was seeing no changes when I pressed F5 or CTRL F5. It was not until a complete rebuild of the solution or project that my code changes actually took effect.
Any reason why headers might do this besides it just being a bug? I don't think I've encountered this in any other compiler to date.

More than a week after Typhoon Haiyan devastated a wide swath of the Philippines, resources are arriving, but many survivors still haven't seen an aid worker of any kind.
Thursday, the USS George Washington and its escort ships arrived off the coast of the Philippines to support the relief effort. The top US commander in the Philippines told the BBC this would provide an unprecedented level of support.
The confirmed death toll stands at more than 2300, but a UN official said the actual number was already higher, at least 4400. The UN says 11 million people have been affected by the typhoon.
Amidst all of the destruction and need, though, much of the international aid that's pouring into the country is piling up on cargo ships and airport tarmacs. One of the biggest contributions from the US Navy task force will be its roughly two dozen helicopters that can ferry aid to isolated communities cut off from the ports.
The BBC's Jonathan Head is in Tacloban, where a US Marine task force has been preparing a massive airlift from the city's damaged airport. He says the Marines needed to bring in their own infrastructure since the airport buildings were all heavily damaged. And he says there's increasing panic in Tacloban from residents who have been waiting for help that hasn't come.
Philippine authorities say they're doing their best under extraordinary circumstances, but they're coming under increasing criticism for delays in providing relief.
Lt. Colonel Ramon Zagala, a spokesman for the Philippine military, says he understands people are desperate and hungry and that things will have to move faster. But he says delivering aid is a daunting task, especially because the Philippines has never seen this kind of tragedy before.
"This is an absolutely gigantic disaster," says Gregory Hartl, spokesman for the World Health Organization. "Because of the Philippines geography, it is basically the equivalent of eight different disasters."
And all have to come through a few damaged gateways.
"If you think about 20 field hospitals coming into a single airport at the same time, along with all the food and shelter supplies, that is going to create huge bottlenecks," he says.
The relief effort begins well before aid workers and supplies hit the ground. Work is going on all over the world. This week, a group of disaster-medicine doctors from Boston prepared to head to the Philippines.
Dr. Gregory Ciottone, director of the Disaster Medicine Training Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, ran down a list of the most important supplies that each physician would need.
"One of them is a Camelback," he said, referring to the water bladder popular with hikers and campers. "And make sure you have the chlorine tablets or a micro filter. And make sure you have some self-generated electricity. There is not going to be a lot of electricity there. It is going to be very, very dark at night, so have some sort of self-charging, preferably, or battery-power illumination device," he added.
Then there are medical supplies. Each doctor needs to bring his or her own, enough to last a few days before they can be replenished by partner organizations already in the Philippines. Doctors also need to bring tents, sleeping bag, rain gear, mosquito nets, GPS devices and, surprisingly, dental floss, which is sometimes referred to as the duct tape of disaster zones.
And, like a camping trip, Ciottone said, "you should all be able to ... put all of your equipment in a bag that goes on your back. You should not have any bag to carry. It should be everything in a backpack."
Some of the Boston doctors were worried about security in the Philippines. Ciottone told them to stick together, and he gave them the name of a guy they can call in case of emergency.
"He will drop anything and everything and come and get you immediately if you're in any kind of trouble. He is that level of security. He is the kind of security that we used in Haiti. Former special operations guy, and he's tied into a huge and very robust network," Ciottone assures.
And it's that network, tying the entire global response in the Philippines together, that is beginning to be assembled.

It will be located at a mall in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill - the Market Place at Garden State Park. That's the mall that was built at the site of a former thoroughbred race track.

The Eagles announced the opening on their website.
The team says a grand opening will be held at the Cherry Hill store July 27 and will feature former players, their mascot, cheerleaders, in-store promotions and entertainment.

I checked the website and it's not a printing error ala the Fire Brigade in the last catalogue. It's not very often that a set is reduced in price. It's not on sale, it's reduced. Go get it Canadians, this may mean that it's not going to be around much longer. It's not as timeless as we like to think it is, it does after all have those Crown knight in it and they do kind of date the set a bit.
