Today, as I await the arrival of Aleksander & Chase, I was reading some Polish / Latin microfilm from the parish of Swiniary (south eastern Poland of today). I was searching for a marriage record for Tomasz Leszczynski & Julianna Kordos. No success in that hunt.
But I did find Julianna's parent's marriage record (in 1832) ! So that was exciting. Previously, I had found Julianna's birth record in the year after her parents were married. But I found a bonus piece of data in an index and again in the Latin Box format of an ancestor of mine. This excited me, because this was the earliest Eliasz found in the parish of Pacanow. His name was Jakob Eliasz, yes, that is E-L-I-A-S-Z (not ELIJASZ as is the Russian form). Jakob was a 40 year old widower from Pacanow who married Katarzyna Paszenska of Oblekon, who was only 23 years old. House #1! That is usually the first house in a village and was most likely the house nearest the church. I am uncertain whether this was house number one in Pacanow or Oblekon ( I am, leaning to Oblekon since this is the Swiniary parish). But that is a bit surprising that a man from Pacanow ventured a bit up stream along the Vistula river to Oblekon to marry a woman. This was marriage on 4th-October-1797, so Jakob must have been born about 1757. So this the only record of I have of an Eliasz in Pacanow in the 18th century. The LDS microfilm for Pacanow spans only the years 1875-1884.
Jakob pre-dates Stanczyk's 2nd-great-grandfather Marcin Elijasz, who was born about 1819 and who I know died in 1879 at the age of 60 (oh how Stanczyk hates those ages that end in zeroes). On that basis, I assume that Marcin was born in Pacanow in 1819. So Jakob predates Marcin by about 62 years. That makes Jakob about 2 or 3 generations earlier than Marcin. Perhaps, I will be able to add that many generations to my family tree in my lineal descent line. Does anyone out there have a marriage record for Marcin Eliasz (or Elijasz) married to Anna Zasucha?

"A big part of the conference is about advocacy," said Bernie Clark, referring to Schwab Advisor Services' annual Impact gathering in Washington starting Sunday.
With advisor attendee registrations approaching 1,800 (with 31% of attendees being first timers) as of a preconference interview on Oct. 29, Clark, head of Schwab Advisor Services, said that holding Impact in Washington "gives us the opportunity to influence" regulators and legislators.
Specifically, that means that Schwab will be "taking small groups of advisors" to meet with members of the House Financial Services committee, while Clark and Schwab's legal counsel will take advantage of the venue to meet with the SEC to discuss the commission's fiduciary rulemaking process and the harmonization of RIA and broker-dealer regulation. Clark pointed out that Schwab's advocacy efforts were not a do-it-alone strategy, saying that in June it had approached regulators with the Investment Adviser Association (IAA) "and our competitors."
In addition to welcoming RIAs who already work with Schwab, Clark said Impact would also see the "largest number of prospects ever" attending the show, as advisors contemplating a move toward becoming an RIA and affiliating with Schwab "are being more transparent" than ever.
Impact, he said, is a "gathering of the overall community" and since "advisors are more generous about sharing best practices than any other business" with their peers, the high number of attendees reflects the fact that "successful people like to be around other successful people."
The RIA community has moved toward an "ecosystem," as Clark likes to say, that gathers other firms around it with growth as a shared goal. As that community has matured, it's now become part of a continuum which is as concerned with attracting and growing a younger generation of advisors while successful firms are "thinking of their legacy."
That maturity of the RIA ecosystem, he said, is also attracting wirehouse brokers who are "not running from something but rather toward" the RIA model. While "we've never seen a appreciable spike" in the movement of advisors and assets from the wirehouses to the RIA model, Clark says it's been a "consistent movement," and has now become both a business decision and a "life experience" for those brokers. There are "tremendous people" in the wirehouses who nevertheless must operate in a "more conflicted model," whereas in the RIA model they receive the "latitude to get deep with their clients" rather than operate under a "least common denominator regulatory scheme."
As part of Schwab's own investment in the next generation of advisors, Clark reported that it had hosted 10 summer interns this past summer. Those were college students in their junior years, he said, and one has already been hired. Another program that Schwab had earlier announced, its executive leadership program for advisors, is slated to launch on Jan. 1, with instructors from leading universities and business schools like Harvard and MIT.
As for Impact's roster of guest speakers, Clark said he was looking forward to hearing former Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, speak. "She's not irreverent" about Congress, he said, but rather "disappointed," and in her public speeches she's attempting to be more influential from outside the Senate, taking a "more centrist" approach.
Michael Lewis, the author and another speaker at Impact, is expected to "start leaking more about his next book," Clark said, while he's particularly looking forward to the inside-Washington perspective of former congressman and White House Chief of Staff Leon Pannetta.
As for announcements from Schwab during the conference, Clark promised news on the technology front, including e-signatures and e-authorizations, and other fronts. Schwab's overall goal, he said, is to help its RIAs "sustain their growth." To achieve that goal, advisors need to move from "getting caught in today" to spending time on their future. At Impact, Schwab wants to "create the space to focus on the future."

Busy Busy Busy !!! October 23, 2008Posted by Richard Foote in Oracle Index Seminar, Richard's Musings.
I thought I better publish something just in case anyone feared I had fallen down a cliff or something.
These's last few weeks have been so hectic, it's been crazy. I seriously got home tonight and noticed that some of my roses in the garden were blooming and I actually made a conscious decision to smell them and just enjoy the moment.
Then I remembered I was running late and had to help with the kids and that precious little moment just disappeared 🙂
Played in a football tournament over the weekend where I played 6 games of soccer over two days in 29C heat, so my body is suffering a bit at the moment. We won the "Saucer" and the title of "The Best of the Worst" teams so it was a somewhat successful campaign !! Scored a few goals as well 🙂
Much of my spare time is spent getting everything organised and ready for my trip to Europe next week. All the dates for my Indexing "Extravaganza" Seminar tour as part of the Oracle University Celebrity series have now been confirmed so there's a lot of travel and a lot of presenting ahead of me over the coming weeks.
All the dates and venues can be found on my Public Appearance page and list on the right.
I've also been invited to present at the Finland Oracle User Group on October 30 at Helsinki so I'm now leaving a few days earlier to make it a nice round 3 week trip in total. I'm actually feeling just a little bit tired and exhausted just thinking about it all but it should be a whole lot of fun and I look forward to meeting some of you on my travels. I haven't been to many of these places before so any good suggestions of where to eat, drink and what to see always appreciated 🙂
The blog has had to take a back seat but I'll try and write something before I go and a few entries during my travels. Looking forward to the Christmas holidays already !!
- 1. Brian Tkatch - October 23, 2008
Must you tease us with heat as we are getting colder and colder here in MIchigan? 🙂
- 2. Robert Klemme - October 23, 2008
Same here in Germany. Richard, what about swapping places? 😉
- 3. Mohamed - October 24, 2008
I am working in Belgium and I will start a new job on November 3rd. So I can't attend your seminar their.
However, I would like to give you a few interesting places to visit.
You should start by the "Grande Place". There, you have just to follow any group of tourists with their guide and you will learn many historical aspects of the Grande Place's building and achitecture.
Belgium is very famous for its chocolates. At the Grande Place you will find a Chocalate musuem which is very interesting to visit. Do not forget to buy the famous chocolate Godiva, Nehaus and Leonidas; I listed them in their prices and quality's descending order.
As per regards to restaurants, be sure that if you enter any Belgium restaurant you will certainly enjoy what we serve in. However, I would like to suggest you to go to a restaurant which is not near the Grande Place. As such, you will have a lunch in an area where tourists are not very frequent (Schuman, Porte de Namur, Louise, Merode are the metro station names where you can find good restaurants).
Another suggestion would be to visit the town named "Bruge". It's a very nice town you will also certainly enjoy.
Don't forget that from Belgium you are about 30 minutes in train far from "Lille" the town where I live in FRANCE. It is also a nice place to visit.
If you have a time say between 17H00 and 18H00 on November the 3rd or the 4th, I will be very happy to invite you to drink a cup of café with nice chocalate at an amazing Brussel's café shop.
If intereseted send me an e-mail and will be very please to see you in Belgium.

Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned parenting pro, breastfeeding often comes with its fair share of questions. Here are some answers to common queries that mothers — new and veteran — may have.
For the first few days after your baby's birth, your body will produce colostrum, a nutrient-rich "pre-milk" or "practice milk." Colostrum contains many protective properties, including antibacterial and immune-system-boosting substances that aren't available in infant formula.
For some women, colostrum is thick and yellowish. For others, it is thin and watery. The flow of colostrum is slow so that a baby can learn to nurse — a process that involves coordination to suck, breathe, and swallow.
After about 3 to 4 days of producing colostrum, your breasts will start to feel firmer. This is a sign that your milk supply is increasing and changing from colostrum to breast milk, which resembles skim (cow's) milk.
Sometimes a mother's milk may take longer than a few days to come in. This is perfectly normal and is usually no cause for concern, but make sure to let your doctor know. While babies don't need much more than colostrum for the first few days, the doctor may need to make sure the baby is getting enough to eat. It can help to breastfeed often to stimulate milk production.
If possible, try to start nursing within an hour of your baby's birth. This timing takes advantage of the natural wakefulness of a newborn immediately after birth. After the initial period of being alert, a newborn will spend much of the next 24 hours sleeping. So it may be more difficult to get your baby to latch on after those first few hours.
A newborn baby placed on the mother's chest after birth will naturally "root" (squirm toward the breast, turn the head toward it, and make sucking motions with the mouth). To breastfeed, the baby will latch onto the breast by forming a tight seal with the mouth around the nipple and areola. Even if your baby doesn't actually latch on at this time and just "practices," it's still good for your baby (and you!) to get used to the idea of breastfeeding.
In the first few days of life, your baby will want to feed on demand, usually about every 1-3 hours day and night. As babies get older and their bellies grow to accommodate more milk, they will go longer between feedings.
If you plan to exclusively breastfeed, it's best to allow your baby time to practice breastfeeding without being confused by a bottle or a pacifier. Sucking on a bottle or a pacifier requires a different set of skills than breastfeeding. So until breastfeeding is well established (sometime within the first month or so), experts suggest not introducing a bottle or pacifier to avoid "nipple confusion." (But while some babies experience this confusion, others have no problem moving between a bottle and the breast.)
There's also a chance that breastfed babies who are given a bottle early on may prefer it. Since drawing milk from a bottle requires less effort and the milk flows much quicker than at the breast, sometimes babies stop breastfeeding altogether and will only take bottles.
Experts also worry that giving a pacifier early on and often will prevent parents from recognizing a baby's hunger cues, causing a baby to miss necessary feedings. Giving a pacifier occasionally (such as during a circumcision, when baby boys may be given pacifiers with sugar water) is OK and usually won't undermine breastfeeding efforts.
In certain situations, doctors may recommend supplementing your breast milk with formula. If this happens, it's still possible to simulate breastfeeding by feeding your baby through a nursing system that lets formula be delivered through a small tube attached to your nipple.
Despite what you might think, crying is a late sign of hunger. Try to nurse your baby before he or she is upset from hunger and is difficult to calm down.
Other signs that babies are hungry include:
During the first few days to weeks after delivery, you may feel a pins-and-needles or tingling sensation in your breasts just after your baby starts to suckle. Milk may seep from the other breast. This is called the let-down reflex, or milk-ejection reflex.
The let-down reflex happens when your baby's sucking (or a machine pumping) triggers nerves in the nipple. The nerves send a message to your brain telling it to release milk. The brain releases a hormone called oxytocin that causes tiny muscles in the breast to tighten and squeeze the milk out, or "let it down." Oxytocin also can make you feel cramps in your uterus when your milk lets down. This is helpful in returning your uterus back to its original size.
Let-down also can happen if a feeding is overdue or before you start nursing (some women have let-down from simply seeing their baby or hearing a baby cry). Or it can happen after your baby is latched on and has sucked a few times. Some women have multiple let-downs during a single feeding.
Some women, however, never have a feeling of let-down, which is OK, too. Even if you don't feel it, you should still see milk coming from your nipple and hear and see your baby swallowing.
Many new mothers have trouble getting their baby to latch correctly. An incorrect latch can be frustrating for babies and very painful for mothers.
Here's how you can make sure your baby gets a good latch every time:
When your baby is properly latched on, you may have 30 to 60 seconds of latch-on pain (this is caused by the nipple and areola being pulled into the baby's mouth). Then the pain should ease. It will then feel like a tug when your baby is sucking.
If you continue to feel pain, stop feeding momentarily and reposition your baby on your breast. If you still feel pain during feeds even after repositioning, talk to your doctor or lactation consultant to make sure something else isn't going on, such as an infection.
If your baby tends to suck on the tip of your nipple, without getting much of your areola, he or she is latched on incorrectly. Babies who tend to latch on wrong also fall sleep at the breast more often and may not seem satisfied because they may not be getting enough. If this happens, break the suction and reposition your baby onto your breast to include the nipple and areola.
Call your doctor or a lactation consultant if:
Once a baby is latched onto the breast, he or she usually takes four to five sucks, followed by a 5- to 10-second pause. Your baby's sucks will increase in number as the quantity of your milk increases. As the milk flow slows, your baby's pattern will probably change to three or four sucks and pauses that last longer than 10 seconds.
Most babies will release the breast on their own. If your baby doesn't release your breast but the sucks now seem limited to the front of his or her mouth, slip your finger in the side of your baby's mouth (between the gums) and then turn your finger a quarter turn to break the suction. Then, try to burp your baby and switch him or her to the other breast.
Newborns will often fall asleep while breastfeeding. If this happens, try to wake your baby by tickling the feet, rubbing the back, or taking off some clothing. Sometimes burping your baby or changing the diaper also can be helpful.
Yes. You can try several different nursing positions (or holds) to figure out which one is the most comfortable for you and your baby.
They include the:
Again, it's mostly about finding a comfortable nursing position and proper latch-on — once you've gotten those down, it can make for a truly rewarding bonding experience.
Here are some other things that might help you to relax and enjoy the experience:
That's a personal choice. Experts do recommend that babies be breastfed exclusively (without offering formula, water, juice, non-breast-milk, or food) for the first 6 months, and that breastfeeding continue until 12 months (and beyond) if it's working for both mother and baby.
Studies on infants show that breastfeeding can lower the occurrence or severity of diarrhea, ear infections, and bacterial meningitis. Breastfeeding also may protect children against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), diabetes, obesity, and asthma.
Breastfeeding also burns calories and helps shrink the uterus, so nursing moms might be able to return to their pre-pregnancy shape and weight quicker. And studies show that breastfeeding helps lower a woman's risk of breast cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and also may help decrease the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer.
Nursing comes easily for some moms, but takes time and practice for others. In fact, it can be one of the most challenging and rewarding things you do as a mother.
While you're in the hospital, seek help from a lactation consultant, who can help you through most of your breastfeeding challenges. If your hospital doesn't provide a lactation consultant, the nursing staff, your baby's pediatrician, or your OB-GYN can be very helpful in guiding you through the dos and don'ts of breastfeeding.
Doctors usually want to weigh infants and evaluate breastfeeding within 24 to 48 hours after a mother and newborn leave the hospital. But if you have any concerns or difficulties before then, make sure to talk to your doctor.
Whatever you do, try not to become too discouraged. With a little patience and some practice, it will likely become easier for both you and your baby in the coming weeks. Like the old saying goes, practice makes perfect.

NJ Transit fully or partially restores service to all but one rail lineWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
New Jersey Transit rail lines are running full or modified service effective Monday, November 19, with the exception of one line.
This includes the restoration of service along the North Jersey Coast Line, which suffered the brunt of the damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy. Additionally, with the completion of repairs to a key Amtrak-owned electrical substation in Kearny that will generate additional power to the Northeast Corridor, NJ Transit will be operating approximately 90 percent of its normal peak period service into New York Penn Station, as well. Main, Bergen County, Pascack Valley and Port Jervis Line trains will resume stopping at Secaucus Junction as a result of the additional rail capacity opened along the Northeast Corridor.
"This is a major milestone in our continuing, post-Sandy recovery. The devastation wrought on the North Jersey Coast Line was the worst sustained throughout our system," said Transportation Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chairman James Simpson. "While we are not out of the woods and the recovery process continues, the restoration of this critical rail service is a major step forward for the Garden State."
The restoration of service on the North Jersey Coast Line completes the full or partial restoration of all NJ Transit rail lines. More than 30 miles of North Jersey Coast Line track sustained severe damage during the storm, including extensive rail washouts between South Amboy and Bay Head. The River Drawbridge over Raritan Bay was severely damaged following a collision between two tugboats in addition to a record storm surge. The Morgan Drawbridge in South Amboy also sustained severe damage following a record storm surge and the impact from recreational boats and a cargo container.

The Mortal (Relay) Coil
Last time, I mentioned that there are still some applications where a relay might make more sense than a solid state switching element. Granted, relays aren't (and shouldn't be) as ubiquitous as they once were, but there are still a few reasons you might need to put a relay in a modern circuit.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
- Enabling a Smooth DX Transformation in the Post-Pandemic New Tomorrow
- Building & Managing the Next-Gen SOC
A basic relay has two major parts: a coil and a set of contacts. When you energize the coil, the magic of magnetism makes the contacts go from their normal position to an alternate position. Some relays will have normally open or normally closed contacts. Others will have one set for each. Like a switch, you can have multiple poles of contacts and you often hear about a relay's "form" when talking about the contact arrangement.
Given the paragraph above, it would seem that using relays is a piece of cake, right? Energize the coil somehow and wire the contacts like you would a mechanical switch. Great theory, but the apparent ease of use of relays, in my opinion, is one of the things that has contributed to relays getting a bad name for being unreliable.
The relay coil is an inductor, and driving it from a microcontroller has certain considerations. Those are well known, for the most part, and not what causes the problem. The problem is in the switch contacts. You can buy relays with different types of contact material and each one is made to switch different kinds of circuits. I am always surprised how many people just assume any relay will switch anything. For the most part, though, any relay will switch almost anything for awhile. As long as the contacts can handle the voltage and the current, the real cost will be in long-term reliability and degraded performance.
Driving the coil is not a big deal, although since a coil is just a length of wire, you will only find a few you could directly drive from a microcontroller. Even if you can, I don't like to subject my I/O ports to that much stress, so I almost always use a circuit like the one seen below. The L1 component represents a relay coil (for a Teledyne 412-12 relay).
The diode in the circuit is very important. If you look at it, it appears to be "backwards"—that is, current shouldn't flow through the diode. Normally, that's true. The problem is the relay coil is an inductor. One of the properties of an inductor is that it generates an opposing voltage when it sees a change in voltage and the amount of voltage it generates is mostly determined by the rate of change.
I once again used CircuitLab to model what would happen if you omitted the diode. As you can see in the plot below, the peak voltage applied to the transistor can exceed 150V! This is probably a little pessimistic since CircuitLab generates impossibly steep square waves on the input. However, since the transistor has a rated Vceo of 40V, even if that estimate is off by half, the transistor will lead a short brutal life. On the other hand, the same circuit modeled in Spice with a 1 nanosecond rise and fall time showed a 7,000 volt spike! So maybe CircuitLab is actually optimistic. Either way, that transistor is going to blow.
The addition of D1 clamps the voltage to just a little higher than V2 (you can see the effect in the plot below). This is a very common design. So much so that you can actually buy your relays with this diode built into them, if you like.
That leaves one other piece of the puzzle: the contacts. Some relays are made to switch dry, for example. That means the contacts are optimized to switch with no current flowing through them. Others are made to switch high currents.
The reason this is important is that life isn't as neat and clean as our schematic diagrams. Conceptually, the contacts don't touch and then they do. Case closed. But the reality is different. As the contacts get close to each other, they eventually will draw a little spark between them as the electricity charges the capacitor temporarily formed by the contacts and the air (or other gas) between them.
The spark is a good thing and a bad thing. Over time, contacts will oxidize (rust) and the resistance of the contacts will go up. A little spark (or arc) can clean that film off, resulting in lower contact resistance. However, it can also pit the contact, literally disintegrating the metal. When the contact's surface area is impaired, resistance will go up and eventually the contact will fail.
Next time, I will talk more about selecting relay contacts before we get back to some more 21st century technologies.

In the basement of the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston, I watched a diamondback terrapin that had been badly dinged by a car receive cutting- edge laser therapy.
"This is very good for sprains, breaks, bad ankles," said staff veterinarian Shane Boylan as he waved a hand laser over the injured back and neck of the turtle. "Theoretically it increases blood flow and relieves pain, and allows inflammation to decrease faster than it otherwise would."
Here in the state's only sea-turtle hospital, which opened in 2000, Boylan and others were treating 19 animals the day I visited, including loggerheads, Kemp's ridleys and green turtles � all threatened or endangered species.
A 99-pound loggerhead had multiple stingray wounds. A green sea turtle had an intestinal impaction. Others suffered from something called "debilitated turtle syndrome." A number of turtles were shipped from New England late last year, having been "cold stunned" � trapped in frigid water and too wracked by hypothermia to swim south.
If all goes well, the animals will recover and be released in the wild, like 112 specimens before them.
"There's something about seeing a turtle being returned to the ocean that is emotional," said Kelly Thorvalson, marine biologist and manager of the aquarium's sea-turtle rescue program. "You can't describe it."
Three full-time staff and more than 300 volunteers are saving turtles along the South Carolina coast, with help from fishermen, recreational boaters and anyone else who spots trouble.
"If you can catch a sea turtle in the water, something is wrong with that animal," Thorvalson said.
As if on cue, two volunteers called in a rescue: a small Kemp's ridley on Myrtle Beach had swallowed a fish hook. They were on their way.
"We always beg people, 'Don't cut the line!'" Thorvalson said. She advises instead that would-be rescuers tether the fishing line to something that can't be swallowed, as turtles will do just that until the hook is buried in its gut.
The week before, the staff executed its first esophageal inversion, which involved peeling back the animal's esophagus bit by bit until the hook could be safely removed, obviating the need to cut into flesh.
"It was as clean and as beautiful a surgery as we could do," Thorvalson said.
When the Kemp's ridley arrived, the staff rushed out to meet it, and Thorvalson began examining and measuring the creature. They prepped it for X-rays to see how deep the hook has gone.
While fishermen are responsible for numerous turtle injuries, many participate in the aquarium's sustainable-seafood program, which encourages restaurants and retailers to buy from them if they are conscientious about how and what they catch. This is good for the turtles, according to Thorvalson: "The fishermen that are abiding by the rules are catching fewer sea turtles."
Nevertheless, there are more turtles coming in every year, and the hospital, whose $360,000-a-year budget is funded by donations and a portion of the aquarium gate, has plans to expand. It needs more space and bigger tanks for recovering turtles, which require room to swim as they gain strength before being set free.
There is also a plan to create a recovery area within the aquarium proper, where visitors can see the turtles before they are released. (At the moment the aquarium gives guided tours of the hospital for $10, on top of the general admission.)
Raising public awareness is a key part of protecting the species, Thorvalson said. "We are saving many more turtles through outreach and education than we are with the individual animals we are rehabilitating here." The aquarium is a staple on the grade-school field-trip circuit, and Thorvalson regularly speaks at schools and at conferences on conservation.
"But at the same time, animal care will always come first. That's why we're here. We're passionate about these species."

Embarcadero has announced the RAD Studio XE5 multi-language, multi-device, multi-database application development suite, now with Android and iOS support.
The firm says that RAD Studio XE5 is the only solution on the market that provides true native, CPU executable code on all four leading computing platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, and OS X) while managing one codebase.
Obviously developers will be attracted to the opportunity offered by true native apps that run directly on the device hardware with no scripting or interpretive layers — so a new survey by Dimensional Research suggest that while 85% of Windows developers are tasked with developing mobile apps and 85% prefer native apps, only 17% believe they can reasonably deliver native mobile apps for two or more platforms.
Embarcadero senior vice president of products Michael Swindell explains that development teams can both prototype and develop native apps in standard C++ or Delphi programming languages for multiple devices simultaneously, meaning that there is no need for multiple projects, schedules, and budgets with separate development teams, tools, languages, and libraries to target each device platform.
"The biggest challenge facing software development organizations today is how to best deliver their business across an ever-expanding list of devices. With RAD Studio XE5, developers can now deliver native apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and OS X devices in a fraction of the time and cost of any other solution," said Swindell.
The RAD Studio development team says that XE5 has all the ingredients for a Multi-Device Application Platform (MDAP). New REST client support is supposed to make it easier to connect to any REST-based service including social networks, MBaaS, payment services, storage, etc.
According to Embarcadero, developers can now tackle enterprise BYOD challenges and ensure their apps not only run on multiple devices, but also support multiple backend services, both inside the corporate firewall and in the cloud.

In preparation for my upcoming trip to Ontario, I am studying the records and searching in Pontiac Co., Quebec and other locations.
When I first started working on the family history back in 1999 you had to go to the National Archives here in the USA and use the microfilm readers. Another option was to drive up to the Cloverdale Library in Surrey, B.C. to use their films in their wonderful genealogical department. Still another other option was the Family History Library films and records.
The census for both Canada and the U.S. was not online back then, so I did the best I could in studying the census to seek out information on Archibald McDonell's and his siblings.
Recently I took another try at the Canadian census to see what I could find in the online versions at Ancestry.com. If I could find one more living sibling of Archibald it would give me a better chance of finding the origins of the family.
I believe I may have found a brother living next door to Archibald in Sheen township which is north of Chichester township. He is John McDonell an older brother to Archibald.
According to Great Aunt Nellie's chart for Archibald's side the siblings were: Ronald, John, Kitty, Angus, Duncan and Sarah. I studied the chart and decided to try for John McDonald the 2nd child. See post dated June 17, 2011 "Nellie's Charts – Her Father Archie McDonell's Family."
John was supposed to have married a Julia (fr) Tebeau and they had Thresa, Sarah, Peter John, Ellen, Duncan, Angus and Julia. So far I have not been able to find any Tebeaus in the area. I have seen Tibeau, Thibeau and other variants with just a few in the Pontiac area. So this slowed me down.
I studied Aunt Miriam's version of the chart and saw that a daughter Theresa (note spelling change) had married a Hugh Downey and they had migrated to Saskatchewan. They had the following children: Boniface, Anna Mary, Gregory, Gertrude, Ethel and Thomas.
Since the other family members of Archie's chart did not have the wives names and very little information, I decided to target this couple because of the name Downey and the name Boniface and headed for the Saskatchewan census. I found them living there. My goal was to track backwards in the census to the parents.
I found Hugh Downey and a Theresa living in Humbolt, Saskatchewan in 1911. The name Boniface helped and it wasn't to hard to find them.

The 1916 census showed them still living in Humbolt Co., Saskatchewan:

This appeared to be the correct family. I then found a cemetery record for the St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church showing that Hugh Downey, Theresea and Joseph Boniface were buried in the cemetery there.
Downey, Hugh 23 Feb 1869 – May 1945
Downey, Joseph Boniface 1903-13 Jul 1957
Downey, Theresa (nee McDonald) 19 Nov. 1868 – 19 Nov. 1938 wife of Hugh
Here is the link: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cansacem/leroy3.html This is part of the Saskatchewan Cemeteries Project. The research was done by a Rev. Rose.
"The Best of Humbolt" index is online at: http://www.afhs.ab.ca/data/humboldt/humboldt_d.html and on page 269 a young man named "Greg Downey born 23 July 1905, spouse Anne Rath. His parents were Hugh Downey and Theresa MacDonald, children Edna, Yvonne and Eugene."
Now we go back in time using the Canadian Census to see if I can find Theresa and Hugh. Next stop is the 1901 Canadian Census and I do find Theresa but Hugh is not with her?

Things are looking hopeful, even though Teresa is listed as a lodger rather than a member of the family. We also have two of the children: Anne and Gertrude. We see that Julia is widowed. Peter is the name of a brother for Theresa on Nellie and Miriam's charts. He is now Head of the family.
Back to the 1891 Canadian census and we find the Julia McDonald Family living in Sheen:

In the 1881 census they spell the name McDonnald which adds and extra "n."

Source: 1881 Canadian Census, Sheen, Aberdeen, Esher & Malakoff, Pontiac Co., Quebec, pg. 29, Dist 98, SD#2, enumerator Lawrence Slattery.
The names are still fitting Nellie's and Miriam's charts for the siblings of Theresa and the name of her mother. Julia is a listed as a widow in this census.
The 1871 Canadian census takes us back another decade and this time we find a Julia and a John McDonald and all the familiar names of the children:
Line 4, 28, 28 McDonald, John M, 42, born Quebec, R. Catholic, Scotch, Shoemaker & Farmer, M, reads and writes. McDonald, Julia, F, 39, born, Quebec, R, C. Scotch, M.

Source: 1871 Canadian Census, Sheen, Pontiac Co., Quebec, pg. 11, Dist #91, South Pontiac, M. Township of Sheen.
Apparently John died between 1871 and 1881. I had made a note where I kept finding the name LaCour rather than the Tebeau name. I pondered that Nellie and Miriam may have made a mistake about her name or guessed? Remember the date on the charts is 1932 and Nellie had left the area in 1901. Her parents had been gone 20 years when these charts were created.
Still back one more census to 1861.
Line 38, John McDonald, Shoemaker, born L.C., married 1856, R.C., 28, M. Julia McDonald, U.C., 1856 R.C., 28, F, M. Mary Jane McDonald, L.C., R.C., 4, F. Peter McDonald, L.C., R.C., 3, M. Sarah McDonald, L.C., R.C., 1, F. Mary McAdams, Governess, L.C. (Not sure if she is a member of this family) R.C., 21, F, S.
Source: 1861 Canadian Census, Canada East, Pontiac (Sheen) , Folio 6 Township of Sheen, Pontiac #236.
According to Nellie and Miriam's chart John McDonald was a shoemaker. Theresa is not in this census and that would be appropriate if she was born 19 Nov. 1868 per her tombstone.
John McDonald would have been born in 1833 in L.C. which is Quebec. The 1871 census we see he is 42 and that means he was born in 1829? So if Archibald was born in U.C. (still unclear) then this means the family moved around?
I was unable to locate this family of John McDonald in the 1851 Canadian census. I was unable to locate Archibald as well in that census for the Pontiac Co., Quebec area.
There is a tombstone in the St. Paul the Hermit Roman Catholic cemetery in Sheen that is very interesting but confusing. I think it is this couple! Julia is now with the last name of Record and I am not familiar with the son named Charles who is not listed on Nellie's chart.
It reads: In Memory of John McDonald died May 11, 1872 aged 42 y'rs and his wife Julia Record, died May 11, 1904, aged 72 y'rs and their two sons John & Charles. No. 7 at this link which are Steve Naylors tombstone photos that were moved after his death in 2011.

http://gravemarkers.ca/quebec/index.htm – This is the home page http://www.gravemarkers.ca/quebec/pontiac/sheen/mcdonal7.jpg
I am still working on this family but I do believe I have found my great-grandfather Archibald's brother John McDonald. In review, the children of John and Julia McDonald:
1. Mary Jane McDonald born about 1857 and married an Isaac Moor in 1893. (Cousin provided.)
2. Peter McDonald born 30 Apr. 1859 in Quebec may have married a Mary according to the 1911 census.
3. Sarah McDonald born about 1861 in Quebec married a John Brennon and had Minnie, John, Julia and Hillary and migrated up to North Bay, Nipissing, Ontario per the 1911 Canadian Census.
4. John McDonald born about 1862 and died in Dawson City, Yukon Territory in about 1898.
5. Ellen Catherine McDonald born about 1864 and married a Narcisse Frederick Perrault son of August Perrault and Elizabeth McCormac on 17 July 1893 in Sheen.
6. Duncan McDonald born about 1866 in Quebec, married a Catherine Teresa Leahey
7. Theresa McDonald whom I followed back in the census and gave information above. They had Anna Mary, Gertrude, Ethel, Joseph Boniface, Gregory and Thomas. They migrated to Saskatchewan.
8. Angus McDonald born 18 Nov. 1870 in Quebec, married Ida Mary Perrault and had Elenor, Cecile and Andrew. He is buried in the cemetry at St. Paul the Hermit in Sheenboro.
9. Julianne McDonald born about 1873 and married Frank Malone.
I am finding some deaths, marriages and births in the Drouin records for St. Alphonsus and Sheen and will be adding more to this family history. Hopefully when I visit the Pontiac and Renfrew County in the Spring, I will learn more. I have not found a marriage record for Julia and John McDonald in the area.

Abstract: METIS-II was a EU-FET MT project running from October 2004 to September 2007, which aimed at translating free text input without resorting to parallel corpora. The idea was to use 'basic' linguistic tools and representations and to link them with patterns and statistics from the monolingual target-language corpus. The METIS-II project has four partners, translating from their 'home' languages Greek, Dutch, German, and Spanish into English. The paper outlines the basic ideas of the project, their implementation, the resources used, and the results obtained. It also gives examples of how METIS-II has continued beyond its lifetime and the original scope of the project. On the basis of the results and experiences obtained, we believe that the approach is promising and offers the potential for development in various directions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8037

I once made a half dozen low-fat cranberry muffins. It was during the no-fat craze of the early '90's. Snackwell cookies dominated grocery store shelves. Back then any time a recipe called for butter you were supposed to substitute apple sauce. I dutifully used apple sauce in my low-fat cranberry muffins. "Rubbery" was probably the best thing I could say about them.
"Rubbery" is never a good thing to say about muffins.
This was not to be my last baking difficulty. Baking requires precision; forgetting one ingredient such as baking soda can completely ruin a dish. Trust me.
My mom, unlike me, has managed to become an extraordinary baker. She even modified her recipes to accommodate the no-fat days of the '90s and the no-carb days of this century without ever sacrificing flavor.
When Joanna of Joanna's Foods announced low-fat baked goods as this month's topic for Heart of the Matter, a wonderful heart healthy food event which she co-hosts with Ilva of Lucullian Delights, I thought I'd give low-fat baking another try. But first, I called my mom. I asked her if she had a recipe for a baked good that had no butter or cream and very little margarine, oil, and egg yolks; she suggested scones.
I noted it did not include apple sauce. Instead, non-fat cottage cheese and buttermilk (which is lower in fat than regular milk) keep the scones moist. I told her I had some fresh, sweet medjool dates I wanted to use. We started brainstorming and came up with a dynamic combination of flavors: dates, fennel seeds, pistachios, and orange zest.
Mom assured me that scones are about "the easiest things you can bake." They really were easy; the hardest part was having to refer to the recipe 27 times to make sure I didn't miss anything. I heeded her warnings, most especially the one about not over mixing the batter or it'll become "like lead."
When I served one of the freshly baked scones to Jeff on Sunday morning, I didn't tell him it was a low-fat recipe. (He remains scarred from an unfortunate incident with an Entemann's fat-free pineapple cheese dessert in 1991.) Not only did he love them, but he also never guessed that they were low fat, well, that is until he read this post.
The savoriness of the pistachios and toasted fennel seeds pair beautifully with chunks of sweet, sticky dates; they are also delicious served with blood orange marmalade (from Mom). Feel free though to choose your own heart-healthy add ins. It's an easy, versatile recipe that I will certainly make again. They were moist and light and helped revive my faith in low-fat baking.
Heart Healthy Date, Fennel, and Pistachio Scones
Print this recipe here.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
6 Tbsp Smart Balance, chilled (butter substitute)
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup fresh Medjool dates, coarsely chopped (about 10-12)
1 Tbsp fennel seeds, toasted
Optional egg wash for top of scones:
1 egg, lightly beaten OR 1 egg mixed with 1 tsp low-fat milk, lightly beaten
Simply brush on top of scones before baking for a shinier, softer finish.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven. To toast the fennel seeds, add to a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk cottage cheese, buttermilk, and vanilla; set aside.
In another bowl, mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add chilled butter (in small pieces), and mix with a pastry blender or fork, until a coarse meal forms with tiny pea-sized butter pieces. Mix in orange zest, dates, fennel seeds, and pistachios. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and, using a fork, mix until just combined. Do not over mix or the dough will become leaden.
Using a floured surface, shape the dough into a disk, about 1/2-inch thick. With a wet knife (to make slicing easier) cut the dough into 8 triangular shaped scones. Place scones on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet leaving about 2 inches between them.
If using, then brush egg wash over the tops of the scones before baking. Otherwise, place in oven.
Bake scones 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Once baked, transfer to a rack to cool.
For another easy and tasty low-fat dessert, check out these Warm Citrus and Banana Cups. In fact, I made these the other night and substituted fresh pineapple and mango for the oranges.

Raymond James Financial Services, the independent broker-dealer arm of Raymond James Financial, announced today a new compensation model for its reps who have at least $100 million in discretionary AUM that is designed to provide the best of two worlds: support of a full-service BD while building a fee-based to fee-only RIA.
Those RJFS advisors who meet the discretionary AUM level and wish to use Raymond James' corporate RIA can do so, retaining the entirety of their advisory fees while paying a quarterly fee to Raymond James; those who wish to establish their own RIAs can do so as well.
In a statement, RJFS President Scott Curtis pointed out that another differentiator of the comp scheme is that 12b-1 trails on mutual funds paid to Raymond James "will be reimbursed directly to advisors' clients, effectively reducing each client's portfolio management costs."
Curtis also said that those advisors who choose the hybrid model will not only retain access to RJFS' technology, practice management and investment products, but will remain eligible for RJFS recognition council memberships.
In an interview last Thursday, Curtis stressed the new model's "simplicity and transparency" and the key role it may play in RJFS attracting new advisors from rival firms while also retaining reps who are growing their businesses using an RIA-like model.
Just last week, Cerulli Associates released a report that showed that hybrid, or dually registered, advisors were the fastest growing channel as measured by assets under management; however, in a speech at the Investment Advisers Association compliance conference two weeks ago, Carlo Di Florio of the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) said that SEC examiners were uncovering "a lot of challenging issues" with dually registered advisors.
RJFS has 3,200 independent contractor representatives.

They held a parade for the Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday and any time a team celebrates a championship, it's quite natural to hold that team up under the light to see if there is anything to learn.
It's of no consolation here in Philadelphia that the World Series title still goes through this city. Since 2008, the Phillies have either won the World Series or lost in the postseason to the team that won the World Series. The focus here is that the Phillies have only won once and the postseason losses have come earlier in each of the last three seasons.
None of that matters now. The planning for 2012 has begun and the Cardinals did do some things that should make the Phillies and every other team take notice. The thing Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. fixated on during his team's five-game division series loss to St. Louis was that the Cardinals had a lot of guys who could grind out at-bats.
Amaro was so impressed that he has made it a mandate for the Phillies to pattern themselves more after the Cardinals next season. Scrappers like Ryan Theriot, Skip Schumaker and mostly World Series MVP David Freese were certainly impressive and part of the reason why the Cardinals were able to complete their unlikely run to the franchise's 11th World Series title.
Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa also received a lot of credit for maneuvering his role players during the postseason, but maybe the man who made the most important move for St. Louis was little-known general manager John Mozeliak.
He was the guy who decided to take a chance on Lance Berkman even though the former Houston slugger appeared to be on the decline physically and at the plate. Add in the fact that Berkman was mostly considered a first baseman at this stage of his career and the Cardinals already had some guy named Albert Pujols at that position and it was an even more of a gamble.
As it turned out, Berkman was a sensational $8 million free-agent signing and the biggest reason the Cardinals emerged with the best offense in the National League in 2011. Berkman was even better in the postseason, hitting .313 with 17 runs scored and 11 RBIs in 18 games.
If Amaro wants his players to improve their approach, then it is his job to try to find somebody like Berkman this offseason to add to the Phillies' roster. Chances are, he won't find somebody that good or with such an established track record, but it was an uncelebrated addition like Jayson Werth that once helped push the Phillies over the top.
Minnesota's Michael Cuddyer, a free agent who may command more than the $8 million the Cardinals paid Berkman last season, seems like the best fit for the Phillies. He can play first base, second base, third base and the outfield and has the kind of bat that would make manager Charlie Manuel's lineup better.
Given the uncertain injury situations of Placido Polanco and Ryan Howard, Cuddyer should be the Phillies' most sought-after free agent from another team.
Another veteran maybe worth taking a risk on is San Francisco's Mark DeRosa. He'll be 37 in February and injuries have limited him to 73 games the last two seasons, but he should come cheap and is a great on-base guy when healthy. Other free agents who could help improve the Phillies bench are Jamey Carroll from the Dodgers, Jerry Hairston Jr. from the Brewers and Nick Punto from the Cardinals.
A celebrated addition like Roy Halladay via trade two years ago and Cliff Lee via free agency last year is not likely to happen during this offseason, but sometimes a seemingly lesser move can help a team just as much. For proof, see the Cardinals signing of Lance Berkman.

Beyond Networking
"I was recently invited to attend one of Jason's events designed especially in mind for Solicitors. I have to say that the event was very thought provoking and made me think about my networking skills in general and how I can get the most out of networking events and make it work for me. I learnt some valuable tips on how to deal with other networkers and how to dodge the timewasters. If you have some spare time then get yourself booked onto one of Jason's events! Highly recommended!!!" Steven Eckett, Partner, Bishop & Sewell
"I really enjoyed the Beyond Networking breakfast and I would recommend it to those who are new to networking as well as "seasonsed" networkers. It was well worth investing a few hours out of your day to learn some skills that could fundamentally change the way you network in the future". Nicholas Ayre, Managing Director at Home Fusion Property Search
"What a great approach and helpful team! Jason is not just a mater networker and risk reducer. He has incredible skill to transfer his vast experience to you. He made 2 small recommendations to me about my business that I've already taken on-board and it's helped already. Any time you can get with Jason will be well worth it - regardless of your industry role. Thank you Jason and Beyond Networking". Kevin Quincey, Strategy Director at InfoPlanIT

An Australian rock group, called by the letters of indicating an alternate and direct current, is justly considered to be one of the most successful and popular rock bands in the world. There are no those fans of the "hard" music, who did not hear the name AC-DC and did not admit an undisputable talent of the famous fivesome.
The band was formed by brothers, guitarists, Angus and Malcolm Young. At first, they were the only permanent band members, the rest of the band constantly changed. Only by 1975, it could be called established and namely at that time AC/DC released their first album titled High Voltage. The album's success was not great but this did not keep the band from pursuing the work. Due to the hard work and starring on the popular TV-show 'Countdown', devoted to the music and artists, AC/DC managed to head the list of the most popular artists of Australia. At this period the band worked hard at creating and recording new singles and albums. They wrote a famous song "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", which became a sort of a rock-and-roll hymn.
The international popularity fell on the band after signing the contract with Atlantic Records Company, which started their road tour in Europe. They performed together with the most famous singers, such as Kiss, Nazareth, Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper. Their unique style and original image became the band's signature that was the idea (as well as offered and approved band's name) of the elder sister of brothers Young – Margaret, who proposed them to perform in dresses, which looked like a school uniform. This style unusually contrasted with a hard and vivid manner of musicians' playing.
In 1980, the band went through an unexpected trial – their vocalist and songwriter Bon Scott died after the heavy alcohol consumption. The band members were so shocked by their colleague and friend's death that thought about disbandment of AC/DC. But, when they came themselves, the guys realized that their gone friend would hardly like such a decision and began to search for another vocalist. Using the method of trial and error, they finally found Brian Johnson, who, after all, wedded with the band and helped to record a new album Back in Black, which became the most successful album of the group and was included into annals of the hard rock history. One of the songs was written in Scott's memory.
Next years the band released one album after another with short breaks. They all won positive comments of critics and fans of AC/DC. However, one of them – Fly on the Wall – turned to be less successful than other ones, many video clips were recorded for the songs from this album. AC/DC left musical hit-parades for a while but they came back there soon.
AC/DC is still in demand on the world rock stage, at the beginning of the new millennium. Brothers Young and their tried musical companions are idols of millions of rock music's fans. Their singles still head prestigious hit-parades. The album Black Ice, released in 2008, immediately peaked at #1 on charts of 29 countries in the world. In 2010, they recorded an album Iron Man that included the best band's songs, which became soundtracks for the famous screen comics with the eponymous title.

Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing
The greatest thing to come out of Buffalo, NY is their wings.
Buffalo wings are chicken wings and drummettes that are fried without breading and then coated in a vinegar based sauce typically comprised of melted butter and hot sauce. They're served with a cool, tangy blue cheese dressing for dipping and some crisp celery sticks.
Buffalo wings are the ideal party food guest: they get along well with others like pizza and nachos, and they're best buds with cold beer. So they've got to be part of your Super Bowl party line-up, even if you're making different wings like my Maple-Beer-Chili Chicken Wings (which you really, really should). They're too self-confident to be intimated by other wings at the party.
Maple-Beer-Chili Chicken Wings
Buffalo Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing
Makes about 15-17 wings; 4-6 servings
Print recipe only here.
Buffalo Sauce:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup hot chili sauce
1/4 cup Tabasco
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
Blue Cheese Dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
3- 3 1/2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed (about 15-17)
canola oil
celery sticks
1. For the buffalo sauce, whisk all ingredients in a bowl.
2. For the blue cheese dressing, stir ingredients together in a small bowl. It will be lumpy.
3. Pour 4-5 inches of canola oil in a medium pot over high heat. Pat wings dry. Place in very hot oil (about 350 degrees F) for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil's heat by adding a bit of chicken fat to the hot oil. It should sizzle and float to the top, surrounded by bubbles. Place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Cook in batches so they're not overcrowded.
4. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and cover with buffalo sauce. Toss well. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Healthier Baked Buffalo Wings (if you must):
1. Spread chicken wings in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon canola oil and season with salt and black pepper. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown and crispy.
