Animal Welfare Organizations provide vital services to communities across the country, striving every day to make the world a better place for neglected animals. A mission they could not fulfill without the help and support of a dedicated team of volunteers and financial supporters. Even though they operate on a much smaller budget than larger corporations, their access to confidential information makes animal welfare organizations a prime target for cyber-criminals.
While it is natural to think that small animal welfare organizations would be at the bottom of these criminals' target list, limited resources makes them more susceptible to an attack. One of the common cyber criminal activities that spiked in 2018 before beginning a slow decline is ransomware attacks.
What is a Ransomware Attack?
Ransomware is a type of malware that hackers use to infect a device or website and hold the information hostage. To regain access to their information, the victim has to pay a ransom for the cyber-criminal to release it.
The most common way for a cyber-criminal to infect computers with ransomware is by using a phishing scam. Phishing scams occur when these hackers send emails to volunteers or employees at the animal welfare organization. Unlike regular spam, these emails are disguised as being sent from somebody the individual should trust. The emails include attachments, and when the volunteer or employee opens the attachment, it releases the malware onto their computer.
How to Prevent Ransomware Attacks
Even though cyber-criminals seem to get smarter every day, there are some steps animal welfare organizations can take to minimize the threat of an attack.
- Always install updates on computers and software to prevent any "holes" in the program or device. Failing to install updates promptly makes it easier for cyber-criminals to hack into the system.
- Require any downloads or program installs to be approved by a designated IT volunteer or resource. This assures the wrong types of software (i.e., malware) are not downloaded by mistake.
- Install antivirus software that includes malware protection on all devices.
- Train volunteers on how to identify phishing scams.
- Create an acceptable use policy for the organization's devices and require all volunteers to sign and acknowledge the expectations.
- Backup programs, files, and systems at least weekly to not lose any crucial information.
The best way to protect an animal welfare organization from the aftermath of a ransomware attack is to buy the right insurance now. Animal Welfare Organization Insurance Program can help you find cyber liability insurance to protect your financial well-being.
Understanding Animal Care Custody and Control Liability
April 28, 2017
Animal shelters and rescues are important to the communities they serve. Animals come to you for care and shelter until they find a forever home. Some come from other shelters, caregivers abandon some, and others show up with little or no history of their life to date. Every animal is a priority in your daily activities. But, sometimes caring for animals is risky. In those moments, what type of insurance you purchased is critical to you shelter or rescue's well-being.
Few people that enjoy shopping for insurance. It can be a long and tedious task if you don't have an agent that fully understands what you do every day. Finding the right insurance is the first step to being able to properly care for animals in need. Most animal shelters or rescues know they need general liability insurance and directors and officers insurance. There are other insurance coverages that help protect you too. Animal care custody and control liability is often overlooked and excluded from most policies.
What is animal care custody and control liability insurance?
Animal care custody and control liability protects your animal shelter or rescue if somebody sues you for an injury or death to an animal. It is a critical coverage that you can add on through an endorsement to your liability insurance policy.
Why do I need animal care custody and control?
Some animal shelters and rescues think they don't need this coverage because they don't knowingly take in someone's animal. But, animal shelters and rescues have been the victim of lawsuits and needed animal care custody and control to protect them. Here are two common scenarios where this coverage can help.
Owners change their minds.
We've all seen it happen. Previous owners abandon their four-legged family member and make the right decision by leaving him/her in your care. A few days pass by before they return wanting to reclaim their pet. What happens if the cat, dog, or horse get sick or run away in that short period of time. Who is responsible? If the family sues your organization, are you protected?
It depends on who the court declares as the rightful owner. In some cases, signed releases are not recognized as valid in a court of law.
Lost pets.
What happens when somebody finds a roaming animal and brings it to you? It's not theirs and they are looking for a place they know will care for the animal until the owners can be contacted. Plenty of shelters and rescues accept these animals into their care and hope to reunite them with their family.
What happens if they run away or passes away in your care before the family comes to pick the animal up and return home? The family may decide to file a lawsuit and say the death or disappearance of their animal is your fault.
In both cases, general liability insurance won't cover defense or settlement expenses unless you purchased animal care custody and control coverage. Contact your insurance agent today to add this valuable coverage to your policy. If they don't offer it, contact an insurance agent that specializes in animal shelter and rescue insurance.

Congratulations to Dr. Annette Tezli and Dr. Jyoti Gondek - two newly minted Sociology Doctoral Graduates who 'walked the stage' with their PhDs this June, 2014.
Jyoti Gondek
Biography: Jyoti Gondek has been operating her Calgary-based company, Tick Consulting, since 2002. With an academic background in urban sociology and corporate social responsibility, as well as professional experience in both the public and private sectors, Jyoti is able to offer expertise to clients in a number of areas including strategic planning, research, communications and stakeholder engagement. She has worked on a variety of projects for clients in the land development industry, and recently defended (2014) her PhD thesis dealing with the dynamics of growth in the hybrid urban-rural fringe using Rocky View County as a case study. As a member of the Calgary Planning Commission and campaign manager for City of Calgary Ward 3 Councillor Jim Stevenson, Jyoti possesses a practical understanding of the intricacies of municipal decision-making processes. Jyoti has moderated candidate debates for federal and municipal elections.
Jyoti's Doctoral Research:
As cities expand their boundaries into surrounding territories, it has created a dilemma in how we understand the spaces on the outskirts of urban centres. Urban analysts and the general public are equally disenchanted with traditional dichotomies of urban and rural to describe these hybrid areas. Existing scholarly literature has addressed this shift through the use of concepts like suburbs, exurbs, and edge cities which represent the invasion of urban forms into rural areas. However, these concepts fail to capture the contested nature and hybridity of this territory where rural and urban confront each other through opposing values, interests and perceptions of the land.
Rocky View County, surrounding the city of Calgary in Alberta, provides a significant case study of the clash between urban and rural. Following a mixed methods research protocol, this thesis moves the literature in new directions by utilizing discourse analysis and social constructionism to reveal the range of pressures, internal conflicts and competing interests within the county. Instead of the traditional distinctions between urban and rural, the term urban-rural nexus is proposed and described as a hybrid space that must be viewed as a distinct settlement type. Hybridity is understood as the coexistence of opposing urban and rural land uses and values that create conflict among multiple constituent groups holding different social interpretations of this shared space. This thesis breaks new ground by offering an alternative analytical framework through the dimensions of conflict approach to identify and investigate the multifaceted nature of conflict in the urban-rural nexus.
Annette Tezli
Biography: I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany. I completed my undergraduate work at the European University VIADRINA in Germany and graduated with my MA in Sociology from the University of Wyoming in 2004. I then returned to Berlin for a couple of years where I worked as an intern for Infratest dimap (TNS Infratest group), an institute specializing in electoral and political research. Subsequently, I interned at the Social Science Research Centre Berlin. In 2006, I relocated to Canada to pursue a PhD in Sociology at the University of Calgary, which I successfully completed in November 2013.
Annette's Doctoral Research:
Despite decades of research, homelessness remains a paradoxical feature of even the most affluent societies, including Canada. Existing research is predominantly quantitative in nature and focuses on the identification of individual-level factors contributing to homelessness. A growing body of research focuses on the ways in which institutional environments produce "the homeless" as knowable subjects and shape their day-to-day experiences. To ethnographically explore the social organization of service provision to homeless families at a Calgary family shelter, I conducted in-depth interviews, engaged in participant observation, and analyzed various texts, such as institutional records, pertinent policy documents, and news reports. The different data generation techniques allowed me to examine the complex social world of the shelter from multiple perspectives, taking into account shelter clients, staff, administrators, policy makers, and the intricate social, political, and economic environments in which the shelter operated. Through my research I gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of the organization of service delivery within the shelter's confines, which in turn shapes the day-to-day lived experiences of sheltered homeless families.

Holday season has started. Kids have finished school and are enjoying their free time. While parents are thinking of intelligent ways to keep their kids busy while they're at work. For me this period just means a shorter car journey to work, since most traffic disappears for two months.
Today I'll be leaving to Malta for a couple of weeks. I will spend my time lying down on a beach with the company of family and friends, eating lovely Mediterranean food and just relaxing for a while.
The blog might be quiet in the meanwhile.

Kindred spirits
This week I traveled through Atlanta and its suburbs, Greenville and Charlotte. In each city, I met with Barron's Top 100 female advisors, kindred spirits all. Beginning on April 15, there were many discussions concerning last year's so-called tax cuts and American taxpayers' actual experience. The Atlanta advisor couldn't wait for the season to end, as many of her well-to-do clients experienced "sticker shock." Surveys show most Americans aren't convinced their taxes were cut at all and many actually perceive their tax bills went up. Part of the problem was a delay in early refunds because of the government shutdown; also, 20% of Americans who did file early ended up owing money, according to NerdWallet. But the biggest issue is withholding adjustments that a majority of taxpayers didn't make. Because the new law increased after-tax take-home pay but canceled out the refund many were accustomed to receiving, the IRS warned taxpayers early on to review their withholding for potential adjustments. But only an estimated 17% did so. Furthermore, while the standard deduction was raised, the new tax code eliminated personal exemptions and capped deductions for mortgage interest and state & local taxes (SALT) at $10,000. This cost roughly 8% of filers a collective $65 billion in 2018, although that arguably is overstated. First, the SALT cap only significantly pinched filers above $200,000 in income. That's not surprising, as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act significantly expanded the standard deduction, resulting in far fewer itemized returns. SALT is an itemized deduction. Second, even most filers hit by the cap still saw a net tax cut. Evercore ISI says the cap lowered tax cuts for 9.8 million, raised taxes for 1.4 million and flipped tax cuts to tax hikes for 2.3 million.
Even though the vast majority of Americans did get a tax cut, the media's had a field day with the confusion. To wit: an article in the April 12 New York magazine entitled, "Tax refunds are down. That's a threat to Trump—and the economy.'' It observes "this reality is reflected in opinion polling—a new CBS survey finds that nearly three out of four Americans believe the Trump tax cuts either raised their taxes or left them unchanged." Tax unfairness is a cornerstone of many Democratic candidate platforms. If Democrats were to sweep the 2020 elections, Strategas Research believes tax increases are all but certain. Possibilities include a hike in the corporate tax rate to 25%—a level the Business Roundtable representing 500 CEOs had lobbied for before the previous 35% rate was cut even further to 21%—and an increase in the top marginal individual tax rate that was lowered to 37% in the final days before a vote on the bill. New brackets also could be added for income over $50 million, and given the debate over share buybacks and investment income relative to workers' pay, the capital gains tax may be targeted, too. As for inheritance taxes, it's expected Democrats will change the tax treatment so that when heirs inherit assets, the cost basis is carried over rather than stepped up, i.e., raised from the old level to the current level, as is currently the case. This could result in a significant tax bill.
Is near-term consolidation looming? Global equities have rallied 14% year-to-date, well above the average 8% in the first four months around a bottoming in the manufacturing PMIs as we may be experiencing now, UBS observes. Then again, equities have risen an average of 25% in the 12 months after PMI-related troughs. Breadth is bullish, and the Institutional Strategist sees a building scenario for a blow-off phase, with the market expecting the Fed to cut rates by year-end, the European Central Bank already easing again and China in full reflation mode. The S&P 500 is testing the underside of the 2,916 February 2016 trend line that was violated in Q4 2018 and is inching closer to October 2018's record intraday high of 2,940. JPMorgan says the shallow and short-lived nature of pullbacks suggests a very healthy trend. What could get in the way? Disappointing earnings? So far, results have come in better than downwardly revised expectations. A worse-than-expected China trade deal? The news so far has been relatively encouraging; the bigger issue could be subsequent trade talks with the European Union. An aging expansion? "Is the U.S. economy overdue for a recession?'' is the No. 1 question Capital Group hears from financial advisors. As an advisor in Alpharetta, near Atlanta, told me, he believes "an alarm will go off in the media this summer, once the current expansion becomes the longest ever.'' In Greenville, I breakfasted with another Barron's top 100 lady, who said possibly the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me—"you're not a boomer." My travels finished the week in Charlotte, lunching with one more Barron's top 100 female advisor—classy ladies all. On my final day, a delightfully straight-shooting advisor related his discussions with clients during the fourth-quarter's painful drawdown. "I explained to my client that the market was falling for no fundamental reason. When I told him it was algorithmic trading, he freaked out!" It seemed as if all of his thoughts mirrored mine—only he's a man and way, way younger than me. Debating the wisdom of holding certain FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) stocks, he said, "Whoever can figure out how to get rid of robocalls, I'll buy that stock." My true, true kindred spirit!
- U.S. soft landing watch March retail sales jumped more than expected. The surge was led by autos and gas, but all categories sported gains, suggesting winter's slump has ended. Bank of America said the report is evidence that the delay in tax refunds pushed spending into March, particularly among lower-income households. Also, March leading indicators rose above consensus, and February's trade gap narrowed sharply, largely on a spurt in exports, prompting the Atlanta Fed to raise its Q1 GDP growth forecast from 2.3% to 2.4%.
- More China green shoots Reported Q1 GDP expanded at a better-than-expected 6.4%, the latest in a string of upside surprises out of China that also includes March industrial production and retail sales. It's encouraging to see China growth inflecting higher, but the GDP bump was driven by a surge in first-quarter exports that typically reverse within a quarter, making it too early to deem it a sustainable upturn.
- More hopeful signs for housing Builder confidence rose again in April, its third increase in four months, led by increasing buyer traffic. Lower mortgage rates, moderating prices, rising household incomes and millennials in prime home-buying years are providing momentum as the spring season gets underway.
- U.S. soft landing watch Markit's initial take on April activity disappointed, with its composite gauge coming in well below expectations on a slowdown in services. Manufacturing was flat, as it was in the March read on industrial production. While the Empire survey of manufacturing activity in New York climbed to a high for the year, its companion Philly Fed gauge, viewed as a better read of national activity, fell more than expected.
- Deflation is one of my biggest worries Inflation is slowing around the world—China's GDP price deflator is now running at just 1.4% year-over-year. Here in the U.S., Evercore's proprietary survey of over 50 CFOs shows a significant decrease in the percentage of them expecting faster wage growth.
- CFO optimism continues to fall It hit its lowest level since 2016's third quarter in the latest Duke survey, the fourth quarterly decline in a row, indicating a steady erosion of sentiment about macro conditions. Almost four in every 10 CFOs believe the U.S. will be in a recession by next year's first quarter, and 84% expect a recession by Q1 2021.
What else
It's tough to beat an incumbent in a strong economy Rasmussen polls show that people are feeling better about the economy, with 38% believing it's moving in the right direction. This may not appear to be a strong number, but it is above the 10-year average of 31% and well above the 29% seen during Obama's 8-year term. At 51%, Trump's approval rating also is above the 10-year average, suggesting voters are relatively optimistic.
If there is a bright side to the Notre Dame cathedral fire …It's the work of architectural historian Andrew Tallon, whose digital 3D-mapping in 2015 means it's possible the iconic building may be able to be restored to its former glory in near-perfect detail. He painstakingly created an exact digital replica of the structure, using lasers to map the entire cathedral, measuring the time the laser takes to reach the target and return to create a precise image.
The Pens got swept! In Greenville, I met with a full-blooded Italian advisor. Half Italian myself (unless you asked my Dad), I found him a true kindred spirit—I wish he were my bff! His partner was out of town, which was my luck, for in his prior life he worked with the Islanders and then as general manager of the Rangers when it last won the Stanley Cup.

Given my recent venting of concerns and frustrations, I want to make sure everyone understands how much I love my "job." Honestly, photography is a job only in the sense that it's how I earn my living. In every other way, photography is just an extension of who I am. Even the opportunity to write about what I do satisfies a very important part of my creative nature.
Not only am I fortunate to make my living taking pictures, I'm also blessed to be able to spend quality time at some of the most beautiful places in the world. I make a point when I'm at these places (you should too) to pause long enough in non-photographer mode to simply appreciate what I'm seeing. In the last two months alone I've enjoyed Mt. Whitney, the ancient bristlecone pines, Mono Lake, Yosemite, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon. Today I'm off to Big Sur, later this month I'll be in Rocky Mountain National Park, and next month it'll be Death Valley. That's entire lifetime of scenery for some people.
Not only that, when I'm not cavorting about photographing world-class scenery, I'm at home, which is a pretty nice place to be too. So when you hear me grumble about photographic frustrations, don't feel too sorry for me.
Just a few words about today's picture. In October I led a workshop group to Yosemite's mirror lake. On my way to the lake I detoured into the woods surrounding Tenaya Creek and ( long story short) fell in the creek, spraining my ankle. Fortunately the trail to the lake is a service road open to park employees and people with "handicapped" plates, and we had somebody in our group at the lake with a handicapped plate. I was also fortunate to have a cell signal. As I waited (in a light rain) to be "rescued," I looked up to see Half Dome partially shrouded by clouds. I couldn't resist setting up my tripod and hobbling to an opening in the trees to fire off this shot.

Osama bin Laden and Hassan al-Turabi in Sudan in the early 1990s. [Source: PBS]Hassan al-Turabi comes to power in Sudan in 1989, and his beliefs are ideologically compatible with bin Laden's. With the Afghan war ending and the Afghans beginning to fight amongst themselves, al-Turabi sends a delegation and a letter to bin Laden, inviting him to collaborate and move to Sudan. Bin Laden agrees to the offer, but moves slowly. He sends advance teams to buy businesses and houses. He also visits Sudan himself to establish a relationship with al-Turabi. Gradually, about 1,000 bin Laden supporters move to Sudan. But bin Laden also keeps offices and guest houses in Pakistan, as well as training camps in Afghanistan, including the Darunta, Jihad Wal, Khaldan, Sadeek, Al Farooq, and Khalid ibn Walid camps. US-al-Qaeda double agent Ali Mohamed plays an important role in the move (see Summer 1991). [Gunaratna, 2003, pp. 39-41]

Mahmoud Jaballah. [Source: Public domain via Toronto Star]Islamic Jihad operative Mahmoud Jaballah enters Canada on May 11, 1996 and applies for refugee status. There is evidence Canadian intelligence, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), begins monitoring him shortly after his arrival. A 2008 CSIS report mentions details of phone calls Jaballah makes to high-ranking Islamic Jihad leaders as early as June 1996. The CSIS will later conclude that his "primary objective incoming to Canada was to acquire permanent status in a country where he would feel secure in maintaining communications with other [Islamic Jihad] members." Jaballah is wary his calls may be monitored, and uses code words to discuss sensitive topics. But the CSIS is able to figure out many of the code words, for instance the mention of clothes to refer to travel documents. Jaballah frequently calls Thirwat Salah Shehata, one of nine members of Islamic Jihad's ruling council; the Egyptian government will later also call Shehata "a key figure in bin Laden's organization." They are in regular contact until August 1998, when Shehata moves to a new location in Lebanon but does not give Jaballah his new phone number. Jaballah also stays in frequent contact with Ahmad Salama Mabruk, another member of Islamic Jihad's ruling council. Mabruk is arrested in 1998. Jaballah is also in frequent contact with Ibrahim Eidarous and Adel Abdel Bary, two Islamic Jihad operatives living in London and working closely with Khalid al-Fawwaz, Osama bin Laden's de facto press secretary. He calls them over 60 times between 1996 and 1998. Bin Laden is monitored by Western intelligence agencies as he frequently calls Bary, Eidarous, and al-Fawwaz until all three are arrested one month after the 1998 African embassy bombings (see Early 1994-September 23, 1998). Jaballah presumably becomes more suspicious that he is being monitored in September 1998, when Canadian officials interview him and tell him they are aware of his contacts with the three men arrested in London. The CSIS will later call Jaballah an "established contact" for Ahmed Said Khadr, a founding al-Qaeda member living in Canada. Khadr had been arrested in Pakistan in 1995 for suspected involvement in an Islamic Jihad bombing there, but he was released several months later after pressure from the Canadian government. After returning to Canada, Khadr ran his own non-profit organization, Health and Education Projects International (HEPI), and allegedly used the money he raised to help fund the Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan. If the CSIS was aware of Khadr's activities through Jaballah, it is not clear why no action was taken against him or his charity before 9/11. Essam Marzouk is an al-Qaeda operative living in Vancouver, Canada. During one call, Jaballah is asked for Marzouk's phone number. He says he does not have it, but gives the name of another operative, Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub, who is known to be in contact with Marzouk. Marzouk will later leave Canada to train the African embassy bombers, stopping by Toronto to visit Mahjoub on the way out of the country. Jaballah is monitored communicating with other Islamic Jihad operatives, including ones in Germany, Yemen, and elsewhere in Canada. He is arrested in March 1999, but after his arrest his wife warns him to reduce his communications and offers to help obtain information from his associates. He acquires a post office box in August 1999 and uses it to continue communicating with militants overseas. He is released in November 1999 and the CSIS will later claim he continues to communicate with other militants until he is arrested again in August 2001.

In 1997, Canadian intelligence begins investigating Abdullah Almalki, a Canadian exporter originally from Syria. Almalki is working with Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi and Abdelrahman Elzahabi, who are brothers and business partners, to send electronic equipment to Pakistan. Around 1995, the three of them sent large numbers of portable field radios to Pakistan. Apparently, some of them are used by Taliban and al-Qaeda forces (the US will later recover many field radios of the same make and model in Afghanistan after 9/11). However, there is no law against exporting the radios, and investigators are unable to prove any crime was committed. Abdelrahman is working in New York City as a mechanic while Mohamad Kamal is working in Boston as a taxi driver. Three other taxi drivers at the same company are al-Qaeda operatives who knew each other and Mohamad Kamal in Afghanistan (see Late 1980s and June 1995-Early 1999), and he will later admit to being a sniper instructor at the Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan in the early 1990s. The FBI in Boston begins investigating him in 1999, but fails to prove he is a terrorist. They lose track of him when he leaves the US later that year to fight the Russians in Chechnya. The FBI later discovers him driving trucks in Minnesota and arrests him for lying to federal agents about his knowledge of the field radios (see Mid-August 2001). [Globe and Mail, 3/17/2007] It seems probable that the investigation of Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi strengthens suspicions about a Boston al-Qaeda cell. One of his associates at the taxi company, Raed Hijazi, works as an FBI informant starting in 1997 (see Early 1997-Late 1998]), and another, Nabil al-Marabh, is questioned by the FBI in 1999 (see April 1999-August 1999). Almalki is later arrested in Syria while visiting relatives there and severely tortured before eventually being released and returned to Canada (see September 19 or 20, 2003).

At a Guantanamo Bay tribunal to decide his combat status (see March 9-April 28, 2007), militant Islamist logistics manager Abu Zubaida (see March 28, 2002) is accused of heading Khaldan and Darunta training camps in Afghanistan and of co-ordinating their operation with Osama bin Laden, as well as moving money for al-Qaeda, desiring fraudulently-obtained Canadian passports for a terrorist plot, and making diary entries about planned attacks in the US. [US Department of Defense, 3/27/2007 ] Complaints of Torture, Admission of False Confessions - Zubaida complains of being tortured in US custody (see Mid-May 2002 and After and March 10-April 15, 2007). Zubaida's statements about his treatment in US custody will be redacted from the trial transcripts, but a few remarks remain. In broken English, Zubaida states: "I was nearly before half die plus [because] what they do [to] torture me. There I was not afraid from die because I do believe I will be shahid [martyr], but as God make me as a human and I weak, so they say yes, I say okay, I do I do, but leave me. They say no, we don't want to. You to admit you do this, we want you to give us more information… they want what's after more information about more operations, so I can't. They keep torturing me." The tribunal president, a colonel whose name is also redacted, asks, "So I understand that during this treatment, you said things to make them stop and then those statements were actually untrue, is that correct?" Zubaida replies, "Yes." [US Department of Defense, 3/27/2007 ; Vanity Fair, 12/16/2008] Denies Being Al-Qaeda Member or Enemy of US - He goes on to deny that he is an "enemy combatant," saying that the Khaldan training camp, which he admits being logistics manager of, was around since the Soviet-Afghan War and was also used to train Muslims who wanted to fight invaders in Muslim lands, such as Chechnya, Kashmir, the Philippines, and Bosnia, where "America helped us." After he was captured the US administration exaggerated his importance, and some media accounts have suggested his role was greatly exaggerated (see Shortly After March 28, 2002). He denies being an official member of al-Qaeda and says he disagrees with attacks on civilians. However, he admits some of his trainees subsequently decided to join al-Qaeda and that he did not prevent them from doing this. He also denies moving the money and submits a volume of his diary that apparently shows he was in Pakistan when the charges state he went to Saudi Arabia to collect the money. He requests the production of other volumes of his diaries, on which some of the charges are based, but they are not made available to the tribunal. In addition, he denies corresponding with bin Laden before 2000 and details a dispute that arose between them after that time. He says his diary entries about military targets are "strictly hypothetical," and the passports are for non-terrorist travel. Following the US invasion of Afghanistan, he admits he helped non-aligned fighters escape from South Asia. He states that he is an enemy of the US because of its alliance with Israel, which he claims is oppressing his fellow Palestinians, saying, "A partner of a killer is also a killer."

Very Surprised
I have been using laser machines for well over 3 years and this is my third CO2 machine. Sold my large ULS laser in preparation for downsizing to a smaller retirement home and was looking for a more compact machine. I have dealt with LightObject before and when I saw they had a new one they had designed and built I knew it had to be good. The tube is a true 40 watt one which has a peak rating of 45 watts. IF this was sold on eBay it would be called incorrectly a 50 watt model by other venders. It was ordered and came by truck. I unpacked and hooked up to a vent system, water pump and air pump. Turned it on and Surprise it did a file that was already in the controller! Negatives, You will need to supply your own air and water pump and vent fan. I already had most of that anyway so it was not a big deal. It would have also been nice to have a focus tool, but they are easy to make. Would I recommend, absolutely. Well designed, quality, wired and built what more could you want?
In house sign shop
We have been using this laser for almost a year and love it. The quality is great and the equipment seems to be very durable. We use it to make acrylic signs and odd shaped acrylic pieces we use in our work. We picked this up in Sacramento and it fit in the back of my truck. There have been a few situations where we would have liked a larger, more powerful laser but we didn't have the space so we settled for this. That said it is still a great engraver. When we have the space for a larger unit I will definitely be buying it from Light Object.
Very happy with this laser
I have been using this for a few weeks now and I love it. The machine is fast and accurate, the controls are intuitive, and the software works well with few quirks. It is well built and has a nice fit and finish. Perfect size for our garage. We use it to make wood jewelry and some acrylic, mostly 1/8" materials but it handled 1/4" without issue.

Music lessons are a great way to unlock and develop your potential regardless of age, music knowledge, or level. You develop coordination, time management skills, discipline, counter stage freight and public performance, confidence, relationships with other like minded individuals through ensemble playing or recitals, personal creativity and cultural appreciation. Become a well rounded individual and expose your self to new sounds while playing your favourite songs.
With such great opportunity comes the responsibility of finding the expert instructor who is capable of guiding you through the difficult steps to becoming your best. Sadly, the internet and current lessons market is littered with individuals who claim their ability to teach you how to play without investing in a real pedagogical approach to your development.
I have over 10 years of experience teaching in various situations: I directed a guitar orchestra, facilitated guitar festivals, developed and grew a music program from kindergarten to grade 12 AQA levels and IGCSE's in France, directed a performance enrichment program, and ran a successful studio every year since I started teaching. I have the ability, knowledge, and personal investment to address your musical problems, create a personalized pedagogical approach, and provide you with concrete steps towards achieving your goals no matter how simple/sophisticated they might be. For more information, you can read my teaching philosophy.

The Parable of the Blessing
JESUS SAT with his disciples on a hillside, teaching the crowds. There were about 5,000 men there, plus women and children. Altogether, the crowd could easily have been 15,000 or more. It was late, and they were some distance from the nearest town. Jesus had been teaching all day, and it was getting later by the minute. The disciples suggested that Jesus send the people away so that they could buy food, but the Lord said, "You give them something to eat."
Unprepared to feed the multitude, the disciples wanted to take stock of what they had to eat, so they could bless the people. While they pondered the situation, Jesus caught the eye of a young lad with some food wrapped in a cloth. He smiled gently at the boy, and the lad looked quickly away. He had heard the disciples and knew there was no food to feed the crowd. He ducked his head and his cheeks grew red. If he gave his meal up, who would have enough to eat? There wouldn't be enough for two, much less the thousands gathered on the hillside. So he kept his head down and refused to look again at the teacher.
To be sure, the boy had heard of the miraculous signs the teacher had done. In fact, he had actually seen somebody healed. But what had that to do with his lunch? Still the boy refused to look up.
Then he heard the disciples say, "Here, Lord. There was a lad with a few fish and loaves, but what is that among so many?" The boy looked up in surprise and saw the teacher's face looking sadly at him. Then his eyes turned away from the startled lad's face, and he saw the teacher look kindly at another boy, who was holding out his own measly lunch to the Lord.
"Have the people sit down in groups of fifty," said Jesus. The boy sat with the nearest group. Soon baskets were being passed around, and one came near him. To his amazement, the baskets were full of fish and bread. His own lunch looked so small in comparison to what was being passed around.
He looked up at Jesus. The teacher's eyes were looking directly at him, and the lad knew that Jesus could read the intent of his heart. A single tear slid down his face as the boy took a bite out of his own fish and bread. He was sure that the loaves and fishes in the baskets, while no different than his by sight, were much better. For they had been blessed by the Lord. Then he remembered what he had heard Jesus say once before. "It is better," he said, "to give than receive." Then before the basket could be passed on, he dropped what little he had brought into it, thankful that he could be a part of the blessing.

Odisha Men's Hockey World Cup; Rs 82 crore spent
Bhubaneswar: The state government had made a budgetary allocation of Rs 82 crore for the just concluded Odisha Men's Hockey World Cup here, Sports and Youth Services Secretary Vishal Dev said here on Sunday.
The tournament played at the Kalinga Stadium has come in for appreciation both from home and abroad, especially the city's ability to execute a world-class tournament with finesse.
Talking to mediapersons during the opening event of the 20th All Odisha Nalco Tennis Tournament at Kalinga Stadium, Dev said since the state government had successfully organized the mega sporting event, plans are afoot to organise the Hockey World Series at the Kalinga Stadium in June next year.
Besides, efforts are on to organize some other international sporting events in the next year.
Impressed over the successful completion of the games, International Hockey Federation (FIH)'s Executive Board meeting in Bhubaneswar last week decided to reopen the bids for the next world cup.
According to Firstpost, several European contingent members told 'The Hockey Insider' that it would not be easy, if possible at all, to get the whole city involved with an event like Bhubaneswar 2018 World Cup.
It would be a tough job for the host of the next world cup to match the scale, the grandeur and success of the Bhubaneswar event.

"They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water."
Oh those 3am internal conversations! Those nights when your body refuses to sink into sleep's sweet embrace or when your mind drags you out of the deepest dreams with a jolt of worry and dismay. That darkest part of the night, literally as well as metaphorically, when you watch the endless replay of all the mistakes of the day, or the week, or – when things get really fun – your entire life up to this point. When you remember every stupid thing you ever said or did and blush again in the darkness. When you look at the entirety of your life and it suddenly seems a joke without a punchline, a goblin stomping with heavy boots across the universe crying 'panic and emptiness', a cracked cistern, barren and dry.
Usually, thank the good God, we find sleep and wake in the morning with our nighttime distress a fading memory – the cistern patched and the goblin hushed. And we get on with life as it was before. But sometimes, like the prophet Jeremiah, we hear a truth in those night hours that refuses to lie down when we get up. Sometimes we awake knowing that our life has truly exchanged a fountain of living water for the stale remains in a cracked water bottle.
There was an article in the Guardian newspaper a couple of years ago, written by a hospice nurse, on the five things people regretted most at the end of their lives. The first was: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." People saw and deeply mourned that they had not lived true to their own insights, true to their own dreams. The second: "I wish I hadn't worked so hard." People, especially older men, regretted spending so much of their lives on job success and economic achievement. The third "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings." Many felt they had buttoned down their true emotions to fit in with others and so had never experienced life in an open heart-strong way. The fourth and fifth seem the simplest and saddest of all "I wish that I had stayed in touch with my friends" and "I wish that I had let myself be happier."
"They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water." I hear this lament echoing through those regrets. An awareness that life could have been much more than they let it be. That they had let true joy and fulfilment slip away and had instead settled for someone else's definition of what makes life worth the living. A realization of having lost the truth of who they were and the truth of what life is really for.
And I'm going to pause for a moment. Take a breath. Listen, for a moment, to the voice of your own heart, your own truth. Listen to the breath that fills this sacred space. What do you hear of meaning? What do you hear of life? What do you hear of your own deep purpose?
The Church used to be so obsessed with heaven and hell and the afterlife that all we cared about in this life was escaping eternal damnation and wining that eternal reward. So this life was weighted down with rules to make sure it didn't get too unruly and fun and distracting – faith was all about the everlasting destination and nothing about the joy of the journey. And now, when we have learnt to value this precious God-given life, it can sometimes feel as if it's still all about guilt – you're not doing enough to solve poverty, help your neighbour, end homelessness, save the planet. All deeply, deeply true – but not the whole truth, any more than our 3am worries are the whole truth of our lives.
For the whole truth has to take account of the God who is a fountain of living water, pouring herself out for us to drink freely and delightedly of her divinity and love. The whole truth has to take account of Jesus' promise that he came to bring life and bring it abundantly. We are not a people or a faith who are to be fed by stale water from broken cisterns but by living water freely flowing, enough to satisfy our deepest, deepest thirst and truest longing.
You know how Jesus is talking all the time about the kingdom of God? And how that word 'kingdom' doesn't sit too well in our 21st century ears – especially in a republic? Well one suggestion for its replacement is 'party'[i] – the party of God. That Jesus is inviting us into the greatest God-blessed party of all time, and asking us to go and share the invites with everyone we meet. It's a party where we don't worry about taking the places of honour because there is room enough for all. A party where we don't need to restrict the guest list because there is a welcome for all – and, who knows, we may find ourselves sitting next to an angel unawares. A party which pays no heed to our political divisions or any petty distinction of age or gender identity or race or sexuality – a party where we can let our hair down, dance like nobody's watching and be our truest, silliest, happiest self!
There may be some 3am part of yourself that is whispering in your inner ear 'I don't deserve a party'. Well, you're invited anyway. The invitation doesn't depend on the worth of the guest but the boundless love of the host. Or there may be some self-righteous imp prompting you to think 'well they don't deserve a party' – whoever they may be – addicts or gang members, fundamentalist evangelicals or Trump supporters, whoever your bogeymen are. Well, they're invited anyway. The invitation doesn't depend on the worth of the guest but the boundless love of the host. You, and they, can always say no. But please don't. Please accept God's invitation – it won't be the same for any of us without you.
When I find myself awake at 3am listening to those goblins whispering in my ear there is one way I know to shut them up. It's to pray the simplest of prayers. The words don't matter, There is just something about allowing the divine fountain of living water to splash over you that distresses goblins and washes their lies from your heart. Prayer reminds you that you don't have to rely on your own cracked cisterns but that there is a fountain of lifegiving love always within reach. Let it give you the courage to live a life that is true to yourself, that is full of feeling and friendship, that allows you to be happy. Let it give you the courage to accept the invitation to God's party and to dance your life as if no one is watching.
[i] I most recently came across this suggestion in Brian McLaren's The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything, pages 144-46.

The challenge. Managing risk and quality with vendors and suppliers is growing increasingly critical as the reliance on vendor products and services has increased.
Protecting against over-zealous vendors and suppliers looking to exploit poorly managed supply chains can be a daunting task.
The reality. Identifying overbillings, non-compliance with service level agreements, and contractual requirements resulting in recoveries and risk mitigation to the organization requires significant compliance resources, a proven playbook and processes, and expert audit support.
The Impact. Overpayment to vendors and suppliers due to the lack of insight and visibility into a supplier over-billings, non-compliance with service-level agreements and contractual requirements.

The Ultimate Guide to Businesses
Keep Yourself Informed About The Best Of Business Marketing
People can hear that there are those younger generation who are aiming to have a business in the future. In this world where people think that being ideal is a waste of time, consider this as something that is wrong and you have all the time to think and dream about becoming anyone. If you are looking forward to have these pursued, then you have to think about beginning right now. Doing the business marketing efforts can offer you a huge feat but being able to have the guts and the face to actually do these will consider the fact that you can have other jobs that are more stable today, that you are going to do other things today and more. But on the other hand, these business marketing efforts are needed so businesses can experience success in the market.
The online business marketing efforts are the ones popular today if you want to become successful because people are online. There are several people who are still apprehensive about online business marketing efforts because of the challenge but these can never be challenges for those who know how to make it.
When it comes to everything about business marketing strategies, you have to recognize the fact that there are two highly successful methods that are now being used in the industry and these can offer you with the best help possible, such as the business to consumer marketing and business to business marketing methods.
It is necessary that you can always build a loyal customer base for your needs, but when these are not possible, chances are you are going to fall back to the next best thing that you can do, that is, building your fan following. It is important that you recognize the fact that these are not necessarily people who will buy products from you but rather individuals who can always stand up and speak for your brands and for your business. Aiming to expand your business takes a lot of efforts on your part and experts believe that when you care about expanding your business, you can always work together with some people who will speak for you as if they are your ambassadors and these are your fan base.
These kinds of business marketing strategies work these ways, and you need to understand that when you start your business, you are usually alone and it pays off to actually have a group of people who can be present as your followers, admire your brand and share something about your brand, so in the long run, you can count on these statements so there are customers who will be willing to actually purchase the products and your new customers then can also speak for your brands.
These business marketing strategies should be understood well.

Looking to become a better home chef? These tips and tricks will help you to up your game when it comes to your home cooking skills. These are our 9 steps for becoming a better cook.
Step 1. Find some Inspiration
A few years ago, I was stuck in a rut of cooking the same few meals over and over and over and over again. Sure, they were tasty, but I simply felt like I was too busy to find interesting, delicious recipes, and learn how to make them. But this is 2019, people! You can't scroll through a Facebook feed without seeing new recipes (between baby pics and cat videos, of course). The internet is full of places to find great recipes, you just need to know where to look. Here are are few of my favorite places when I'm looking for recipe inspiration:
- Restaurant Menus (look for dish ideas, then google for recipes).
- Handle The Heat (for bread & baking recipes)
- Food Wishes (For cool twists on classic recipes)
- Laura in the Kitchen (especially for Italian recipes)
- Cooking Shows (I'm a sucker for Top Chef & Beat Bobby Flay).
2. Buy Real Food
The vast majority of your food should come from the produce section in the grocery store. Say goodbye to processed foods or boxed meals, we have no idea what's really going on with those conveyer belt meals. Real meats, grains and veggies. Learn how to look for quality veggies, too.
3. Cook From Scratch
The vast majority of your cooking should be done from scratch. Pasta sauces out of a can? Those are a thing from your past. The freshness and control you get from a perfectly stewed sauce are just too good. Plus, learning to make more from scratch helps you to master more techniques, making you the better home chef we're striving for.
4. Plan Your Meals
Much of the reason folks often end up with bland, unimaginative and unhealthy meals is because we're simply in too much of a rush when it comes time to figure out what to make. This is where planning your meals come in great. I love an online tool called Plan To Eat*. With Plan To Eat, you can easily import the recipes you find online, then drag and drop them on a calendar for easy planning. Plan To Eat then generates a grocery list you can pull up on your phone while you shop. You can try Plan To Eat for 30 days without even giving your credit card, so totally risk free.
(* – Note: This is an affiliate link, meaning I'll make a small commission if you sign up after clicking the link.)
6. Grow Fresh Herbs
When it comes to herbs, the fresher they are cut, the better they are. Those cans of dried spices have already lost a lot of their pizazz, and are continuing to slowly die in your spice rack. By building a small herb garden at home, you'll be able to cut, wash and cook with your favorite herbs, taking your dishes to the next level immediately.
7. Invest in a good chef's knife
It's easy to get overwhelmed by large, several hundred dollar knife sets at those high end home stores. A fancy block, a million knives you'll rarely use, and you're charging way to much money on your credit card for something that largely just takes up space in your kitchen. I cook almost daily, and I use one knife for about 95% of my cooking needs. A good chefs knife is what you need to dice, chop and prep the vast majority of your cooking ingredients. When looking for a good chef's knife, loof for:
- A forged knife. Forged knives are made from a single piece of metal under extreme heat.
- High carbon stainless steel. Durable and doesn't rust easily.
- Handle weight: A good quality chef's knife has a heavy handle, but you want to make sure it's comfortable for you. I suggest getting hands on and handling your knife to make sure it feels like something you can easily control.
Once you have your chef's knife, take the time to learn how to use it. This video from Jamie Oliver (warning: Jamie uses some strong language) walks through some basic knife skills to master.
8. Look up multiple recipes
When you're looking for a recipe, don't just go to one and stop. Find three that look good to you, read through them and highlight the ideas from each you like. Use those differences to create your own version of your favorite dishes. This teaches you how to think like a chef, not just a paint-by-numbers home cook.
9. Cook Often
At the end of the day, the best way to become a better cook is to use these tools above and cook often. Try new things, like some of our recipes here at Nerd Chefs. Keep looking up recipes you've never made before. Get adventurous. Try new techniques, like braising or sous vide. Overcome adversity and learn how to save dishes through trial and error. The more you practice, the more things get thrown at you and the better of a chef you'll become.0

The Prague Castle has some of it's own nooks where you can do just that. It is surrounded by gardens, a vineyard as well as a moat.
The Stag Moat (Jelení Příkop), is a natural ravine of the Brusnice stream, running alongside the castle. Breeding of deer took place in this area in the 17th century, thus the name.
Just steps away from the side entrance of the castle near the tram stop, can take you from the bustling tourist crowds to beautiful, quiet surroundings where you may only see another person or two.
Spires of St. Vitas Cathedral peeking through the trees.
The stream runs below you as you walk through the tunnel.
Daliborka Tower of the Prague Castle.
You can exit the way you came or through a tiny little path taking you back down to the Malostranska metro.
My friend, Mary Ann and I exited near the metro on this particular journey.
If you want to visit the moat this year, you'll have to hurry. It's only open until October 31. It will reopen April 1st.
The perspective of the castle, the beauty of the landscape and it's quiet location in the midst of the city make this walk so worth it!!
Have you visited the moat or like to get off the beaten path?
Linking up again with Bonnie, Camila, Jessi, and Amy for Travel Tuesday.

Hatches Made Easy:
LIttle Black Caddisflies
Fishing the Egg-Laying Little Black Caddisflies
Although trout may be taken on dry fly adult imitations intended to imitate the
adults on the surface of the water after they emerge, the egg-laying process
offers an even better opportunity. The females dip their abdomens in the water
during flight to release their eggs. Casting a dry fly caddis imitation to trout
feeding on egg laying adults may or may not work depending on the conditions
of the water, but it usually does.
You may try skittering the fly across the surface to imitate egg layers when you
observe this activity occurring. This is more difficult to do than is appears. You
may turn off more trout than you fool. If the water is fairly rough, I feel the dead
drift is still the best type of presentation. If it is smooth, you may have to skip the
fly on the surface of the water to fool them. Smooth water is not that common in
the Smokies. Most of the time the surface of the water is rough enough for the
dead drift to fool them. In rough water the trout will only get a quick look at the
fly. They would have a difficult time of distinguishing the fake female caddis from
the real caddis that are skipping around depositing their eggs.
The egg-laying process takes place in the moderate sections of water where
they hatch. Often, the Brachyentridae family egg-laying female species die in
quantities sufficient to warrant fishing a spent imitation. After they die, the
currents pick them up and they end up congregated in eddies, pockets behind
boulders, pockets along the bank and the end of riffles and runs. This starts
occurring very late in the day near dark. In this case, a dead drift presentation
works best. I have even caught trout in the mornings on spent imitations of the
Little Black Caddisflies, so don't over look that possibility. After a big hatch you
will usually find some on the water in the early mornings. When you do, you
should try the spent imitation.
By the way, you should fish as late as the park's rules permit. They continue to
deposit their eggs until it is completely dark. The trout will become much easier
to catch in the low light conditions.
Fly Pattern Colors:
The numerosus case is a square chimney case. The larvae inside are bright
green with dark brown heads and legs. Trout do eat the cases and larvae and
then extract the case.
The pupae have pale green to olive bodies with dark brown, almost black heads.
The wing pads are brown.
These caddisflies normally have wings that are dark grayish brown with a dark
gray, almost black body. When the wings are folded down over the body, the
caddis appears almost black. The legs and antenna are gray. Remember that
the males are smaller than the females by one hook size. Since the females are
a size 16, that is the hook size I recommend for the imitations.
Quite frankly, I don't like any of the flies I have listed below if these caddis are
hatching or depositing their eggs on smooth water, such as the ends of long
runs or tails of pools, etc. You will see a lot of trout turn away from them in that
case. However, you shouldn't have to worry about that much in the Smokies. We
are currently (and have been for 8 years) working on a
Imitating Caddisflies
as well as the
"Perfect Fly" Caddis Fly Tying Program"
. Although we
have designed the flies, the program has not been produced.
These are some
ercially available flies
that you should be able to get
by with. This does not include a larva imitation or a spent caddis imitation. I
haven't found anything worth listing for those. You will have to tie them yourself if
you want to fish them.

Cycling and walking: The Penine Cycleway (NCN Route 68) passes our door and the Sandstone Way and Penine Way passes just West of us. The Cheviots are easily accessible from Prendwick and have many walks – offering incredible views and historic landmarks. Guided walks can be arranged through Shepherd's Walks or Jamie will be happy to offer suggestions. Ingram Valley complete with waterfall (Linhope Spout) is a perfect place to explore on a sunny day, where you can picnic alongside the Breamish river.
Castles: Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England. The following are a short drive from Prendwick: Alnwick Castle (where Harry Potter was filmed), Chillingham Castle (the spookiest castle), Warkworth Castle (with a Hermitage accessible by boat), Bamburgh Castle (Northumberland's jewel complete with a dragon legend and links to King Arthur) and the romantic ruin of Dunstanburgh Castle.
Cragside, the stunning National Trust property with over 1000 acres to explore and an extraordinary Victorian house - the first home in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. A must visit if you haven't been, with delights around every corner (and the recent backdrop for the latest Jurassic Park film).
Wallington, another National Trust property, home to red squirrels. Always plenty going on and well worth the drive to see the house and its stunning grounds (with good playgrounds).
Howick Hall, the home of Earl Grey, with beautiful gardens, an arboretum and a wonderful café (where you can have a cup of Earl Grey)
Beaches and Islands: The spectacular Northumberland coast can be seen from the huts and is a 30/40 minute drive away. With over 39 sweeping miles of beaches that are magnificent in all seasons, there are plenty of beaches to choose from: Embleton – recently winning 'Best Beach in UK', Alnmouth Beach - with plenty of cafes and pubs, Beadnell -good surfing and dunes, Bamburgh – with its magnificent castle view, to name but a few.
Holy Island has a wealth of history and is definitely worth taking a day to explore (check tide times first). It's a mile off the mainland, linked by a causeway and is cut off twice daily by the fast incoming tides.
The Farne Islands which are reached by boat from Seahouses. A famous bird sanctuary, also home to grey seals. Dolphins are also frequently spotted on the boat trip.
Golfing: Rothbury, Foxton and Bamburgh golf courses are all within a short drive of Prendwick.
Shopping: Just a short drive from the huts are the pretty villages of Whittingham and Glanton (with a pub) and Powburn (with a shop and petrol station).
Historic Alnwick with its castle and gardens and award-winning bookshop is a 25 minute drive (and has the closest large supermarket). Picturesque Rothbury has a lovely river walk with wonderful views of the Simonside Hills. Nearby Wooler is worth visiting for its independent shops and Doddington Dairy Milk Bar.
Dark skies: The farm is set in the International Dark Skies Park and Ingram Village Hall – a recognised dark sky discovery site – is located one mile over the hill.
Our largest shepherd's hut, able to sleep 2 adults in a kingsize bed and a separate room with bunkbed and climbing wall for 2 children.
Clad in green pitch pine with a large veranda and an outdoor antique French cast iron bath, Sleeps 2.
Our most traditional shepherd's hut situated in the paddock overlooking our flock of Valais Blacknose sheep, Sleeps 2.

RATIONALE: soc.genealogy.britainMany Usenet genealogists are researching family or ancestors from some part
of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The newsgroup soc.genealogy.uk+ireland
was originally created to cater for these researchers. The charter for
that group stated "Separate groups can be formed later if and as traffic
and interest warrant."
Traffic on soc.genealogy.uk+ireland is growing at about 12% per month and
is now at the point where enquiries relating to Ireland are taking up a
significant proportion (about 20%) of the volume of the postings. In
addition there is a growing demand for a split. The time now seems to be
appropriate to consider such a split.
SocGen Newsgroup Rationale Charter Mailing List Web Page Archives FAQ Top
CHARTER: soc.genealogy.britainSoc.genealogy.britain is an unmoderated group for genealogy and family
history discussion among people researching ancestors, family members,
or others who have a genealogical connection to any people in Great
Britain. This includes England, Scotland, Wales and the offshore islands
such as the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.
The group is open to anyone with an interest in genealogy in any of the
populations in or from this area, including, but not limited to: people
who live, lived, or may have lived there; emigrants; immigrants;
colonists; residents of former colonies; and their descendants.
The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations, and the
realities of researching public records and genealogical data archives,
and includes questions of local customs and history, or of regional or
national history which affected the lives of these people and which are
difficult to research in the present. Posts may be in any language but
those seeking replies from a wide spectrum of readers (or at all) would
be well advised to post in English.
The focus of the group is on the genealogy of individuals, as members of
ethnic groups, and as part of migration patterns. Postings on topics
unrelated to genealogy, especially relating to current political or
religious topics are not acceptable.
Postings concerning general surnames searches are not welcome and should
be directed to the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroup or to any
appropriate subgroup that may be created. Postings containing MIME
attachments, graphics, binary or GEDCOM files, and program listings are
also not acceptable.

Virgil Abloh Reveals "Ebony Bench" for Louis Vuitton SS19 Residency at Chrome Hearts
After sharing photos of Louis Vuitton's NYC and Harajuku art installations, Virgil Abloh just took to social media announcing his partnership with Laurie Lynn, Richard and Jesse Jo Stark of Chrome Hearts on a conceptual space in New York to showcase his first Louis Vuitton collection.
Located at the Chrome Hearts NYC flagship in the West village, the space exudes a "warehouse-esque" presentation that displays Virgil Abloh's LV's SS19 collection, in addition to exclusive OFF-WHITE x Chrome Hearts pieces.
Additionally, the focal point of the installation is the featured ebony bench that took Abloh and Richard Stark five years to make. "The uniqueness of the piece – at first glance, fragile and 'snapped in half' while ultimately being built out of the strongest ebony wood – was brought to life by hand at the Chrome Hearts factory in Los Angeles," said Chrome Hearts in a statement.
If you're near the area, the temporary residence is currently on view starting today, until January 17. Peep the official address below.
Chrome Hearts NYC
755 Washington St.
New York, NY 10014
Also, you can now buy advance tickets for Virgil Abloh's "Figures of Speech" exhibition.
