We practically need a time machine for this installment of the History of Furniture since we are heading back, far back in time, to ancient Greece.
We have the Greeks to thank for so many things: the concept of democracy, science, philosophy, advances in architecture...and some lovely furniture!
They invented the kline which is a type of sofa or day bed. Klinai (the plural) were made with a woven bottom (probably of leather strapping) and four legs, then covered with woven throws and pillows stuffed with hay, leaves, or feathers. Like the Egyptians, the Greeks often made legs of chairs or klinai into the shapes of animal legs or feet. But klinai could also have simple turned legs.
Thankfully, we know a lot about Greek furniture from extant images from frescoed walls and vases.
While the kline as the ancient Greeks knew it might not be in service today, we do have a lovely piece of Greek furniture still in use in the form of the Klismos chair.
Klismos chairs were originally made of wood with seats of cane or of woven leather. The swooping delicate line of the chair comes from its saber legs which curve out. The back rest continues the curve upward but in the opposite direction, giving the silhouette of the chair a beautiful "S" curve. A low, concave panel supported the sitter's back. While there are really no extant klismos chairs to speak of, we can find plenty of imagery showing its shape and construction not only from the Greeks but also from the Romans who emulated nearly every aspect of Greek culture.
The chair was quite popular during the classical Greek period but fell out of usage by the Hellenistic period. Some theorize this is because the chair's delicate saber legs contributed to instability, causing the piece to splay out and break. One would think that with a design flaw that serious, the chair would never have been widely used to begin with. I feel the decline of the chair simply has to do with changing tastes of style and fashion. Whatever the reason, it seems that the shape is too exotic and alluring to resist and the chair saw a huge rise in popularity in the late 1700s when all of Europe was interested in Neo-Classicism. Greek and Roman sites were being excavated, pottery was being unearthed and images of the klismos chair were discovered!
Klismos chairs are now a very chic and interesting alternative to a traditional chair.
At the start of this post, I mentioned that the Greeks contributed toward advances in architecture and they are perhaps best known for the Greek Column. There are actually three different orders--or types--of columns. It's useful to know these orders not only for architectural purposes, but because these columns can be incorporated into interiors or into furniture designs!
While it is commonly believed that the Doric column preceded the Ionic column in time, there is no real evidence to support this. Archaeologists have found Doric and Ionic columns from roughly the same era. But for ease, let's start with the Doric column first.
A Doric column is the plainest of the Greek columns. Although the shaft itself has some detail in the form of fluting (always twenty channels), the top is simply rounded, topped with a square abacus. Often Doric columns have no base, but some have a plinth for the fluted column to stand upon. It is the shortest of Greek columns, sometimes looking a little squat since it is thicker at the bottom than the top which allows the distribution of the weight from above.
Next is the Ionic column. I remember the name of this column because it starts with "I" and in a funny way, the top of the column appears to have two "eyes." These are decorative scrolls or volutes. This column, like the Doric, is also fluted but it is fitted with four more than the Doric, bringing the total channels of the Ionic column to twenty-four.
Finally, we have the most elaborate--and slimmest!--of all the columns, the Corinthian. Marked by a capital with two extravagant rows of acanthus leaves and scrolls, the Corinthian gets its name from the ancient Greek city of Corinth.
Of course many eras since have copied these ancient Greek styles in what has become known as a Neo-Classical style or Neo-Classical Revival. We will examine some of these in future posts. But in the meantime, happy designing!

Book Review: Merciful by Casey Adolfsson
Title: Merciful
Author: Casey Adolfsson
Paperback: 504 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace (April 6, 2011)
★ ★ ★ ★
My thoughts:
Acacia Moirgetes lives a boring life. When she turned seventeen, she began to experience weird things.. like disappearing from her apartment or from her work and finding herself in a middle of nowhere. Mostly, it's just a short trip, minutes, hours, nothing else to see except she kept on appearing in front of an Acacia tree. One day, she could not go back home. She met a man named Blaise and told her that she is a goddess, a Goddess of Fate and her father Zeus, is constantly searching for her. Her memory quickly returns, that she left Olympus but she could not remember the reason why she left her world. Now, she must remember everything as someone is plotting to destroy the people of Olympus.
I loved the story. Merciful started out pretty slow but eventually picked up after the first two chapters. The story is well-written. Loved the way the author wove the story with the Greek myth characters. It was really entertaining, if you are into Greek mythology, you'll love this too, I guarantee you.
Though there's one thing here that made the story a bit annoying for me. There are two heroes in this story, Blaise and Ash. They are both in love with Acacia and yes, Acacia loves both guys. I'm nearly hating stories with conflict in love triangle, especially when the heroine is indecisive. Twilight Saga's Bella and Calla Torr of Nighshade series to name a few. As for the book/book series that I enjoyed such conflict, these are Vampire Academy's Dimitri-Rose-Adrian, Sookie Stackhouse's Bill-Sookie-Eric and JeanClaude-Anita-Richard for the Anita Blake series. I can't tell exactly how I feel about this emo conflict but I would rather the story has a different conflict than a love triangle.
Overall, aside from the love triangle I mentioned above, it's still a great read. This book will be included in my "re-read" list. If there's book number two, I would definitely read it!
About the book:
At 17 years old, Acacia Moirgetes is starting to feel like her boring, lonely existence is something of a tragedy. A Greek tragedy, that is. Acacia quickly learns that the life she thought she knew is a lie. More disturbingly, it's a lie she's been telling herself to avoid the terrible truth. Now she's on a mission to corral the Greek gods of myth back to Mount Olympus before all Hades breaks loose. With the help of her guide, a curmudgeonly former goat named Amal, and her two Pyroskia— devastatingly handsome bodyguards, Blaise and Ash, whose devotion to Acacia runs deeper than either ever imagined—Acacia must follow the truth to its darkest ends. Along the way, she'll have to recover her forgotten powers, come to terms with the woman she once was, and perhaps most importantly, discover why she left Olympus in the first place. Love, betrayal and mercy come to the fore in Merciful, an epic fantasy novel for young adults.
About the author:
Not long after I began my endeavor, I had the pleasure of conversing with an actual real author, Lauren Groff. When a New York Times Best Selling Author tells you something… listen. The single most valuable piece of advice I received I got from her.
"Write every day. Do something, anything with your work every day." I did and it kept me close and tuned into my characters, no matter where I went they stayed with me. I wrote something new, edited something old, thesaurused things I'm not smart enough to know synonyms for, but I stuck with my story and I never let my characters or myself down.
As a mother of two, and an over volunteerer (is that a word?), I should put achiever… or "can't say no'er" , there were a lot of nights I wanted to slide under the sheets, pull them up over my head and tuck them in enough that no one would notice I was there. I didn't fool anybody with that trick and so… instead of hiding under the covers I hid behind my notebook and… I wrote.
My husband has been extremely supportive of my writing, but I don't think he took me seriously until after I told him I had over a 100,000 words in my document. He peeked over my shoulder several times after that, I think mostly to be sure I wasn't writing, "I love donuts. I love wine. I love cheese. I love chocolate" over and over. Ask him to name my four main characters… I dare you.
If you're reading this it's because I want you as a fan or you already are one. So it's probably just you and my four closest friends.
I hope you enjoy Acacia and crew as much as I do.
P.s Amal wants to know if you have anything to eat. Specifically a taco.
I received a review copy of this book free from the author, Casey Adolfsson. The review posted above is based on my personal thoughts while reading the book.

Too Much Sharing?
We received another great comment from one of our pre-release subscribers (if you're interested in what we're up to, you can sign up here: https://www.heirloomsoftware.com/pre-release/). The comment came about as a result of a post we put on our blog mentioning how we were planning…
Update: DNA Matches & Ghost Trees
These two are pretty early in the process, having only been partially reviewed, but we wanted to share them anyway because we're pretty excited about the direction our DNA support is going. I'll show you the screen mockups first and then discuss them a little….

"Washington Crime" was originally published in the April 1, 1937 issue of The Shadow Magazine. The
Shadow travels to our capitol, Washington, D.C. to battle the most evil form of
crime: treason! Yes, a traitor has stolen the National Emergency Code, one of
the most secret codes in existence. With world-wide war looming on the horizon,
this secret code was the mainstay of our national defense. And it's up to The
Shadow to retrieve it before the enemy can use it.
It all begins in a military courtroom where a court-martial is taking place.
Colonel Richard Follingsby stands accused of extreme negligence. It was to him
that the National Emergency Code was entrusted. It was from him that the
super-secret code was stolen.
Into the courtroom steps Lamont Cranston. Cranston has been summoned to
Washington by none other than the President of the United States, himself.
Suggested to the President by Senator Ross Releston, it is felt that Cranston's
hidden ties to The Shadow, known only by Senator Releston, will aide the
government with the single most vital problem that had ever concerned the
defense of the nation.
Cranston sits in the courtroom, holding his official pass signed by the
President. He listens to the evidence as it is presented, and silently deduces
the identity of the thief. Yes, before the end of the first chapter, The Shadow
knows the hidden identity of the culprit. But more important than exposing the
guilty party is the retrieval of the secret documents. The papers must be
secured before the traitor can sell them to our enemies!
The Shadow is asked to cooperate with the nation's top espionage member, secret
agent F-3. They meet in a house on H Street, and The Shadow compares notes with
the top spy. He details his deductions about the identity of the man who stole
the secret code. All is well and good for now, but soon things start to fall
Before you know it, Hugo Creelon steps into the picture. Creelon is the most
dangerous of all international spies, who makes it his job to purchase stolen
information and sell it to competing countries. Creelon has discovered the fact
that the secret code has been stolen. He has discovered the identity of the
thief. And he contacts the man in order to make arrangements for the purchase of
the vital documents.
Only The Shadow can stop the traitor. Only The Shadow can stop international spy
Hugo Creelon from obtaining the documents. But The Shadow isn't dealing with
typical New York hoodlums, anymore. These are sinister international spies with
devious minds and whip-like reflexes.
Before you know it, The Shadow has been captured. He is held in the hidden
basement of an unnamed nation's embassy, securely in the power of Hugo Creelon.
Creelon knows of The Shadow's sheer strength, so he doesn't tie him up. He knows
of The Shadow's ability to escape from locked rooms. So he doesn't lock him up.
Instead, he drugs him. And The Shadow, under the influence of hashish, is
powerless to resist. He is helpless in the power of Hugo Creelon!
Will The Shadow be able to overcome the effects of the insidious drug? Can he
escape the underground maze of the foreign embassy? Can he track down the
traitor before he takes off for Havana? Can he rescue the secret code before the
documents are turned over to the foreign government? Can he avoid sinister
death-trap after death-trap?
The answer, of course, is yes. Yes, of course he can! And in this story you'll
see him fight his way though armies of foreign agents. All in the pursuit of
truth, justice and the American way! And he does it all without the assistance
of any of his own agents.
None of The Shadow's agents appear in this story. Not even briefly. No mention
of Burbank, Mann, Vincent, Marsland, Hawkeye, Burke, Shrevnitz or the rest of
the gang. The only characters we recognize are Senator Ross Releston, who was
first introduced in 1935's "The Plot Master", and secret service man Vic
Marquette, who has been around in this series since the third story, "The Shadow
Laughs". And, of course, Lamont Cranston. Not the "real" Lamont Cranston, but
The Shadow in his Cranston disguise.
The Shadow briefly appears in a second disguise, that of the Count of Santurnia,
a tall, dark-skinned Spanish nobleman. This is the second time he has used the
Count of Santurnia disguise. It was first used a year previously in "The Gray
Ghost". This is the last time that this particular disguise is used by The
Shadow. The Count of Santunria only appeared twice in all of the 325 magazine
stories, this being his second and last appearance.
And finally, a few special notes about this story. It is very rarely that The
Shadow reveals his identity to anyone. His good friend, criminologist Slade
Farrow is the prime exception. But in this story, there is another man to whom
The Shadow could safely make his identity known. That man is Secret Agent F-3.
In their meeting at the house on H Street, The Shadow reveals himself. And then
later regrets it...
Walter Gibson rarely wrote women villains into his stories. We have one here in
the form of Senorita Nina Valencita. She's a dark-eyed beauty who is an
international spy working with Hugo Creelon. Most amazingly, she escapes
unscathed at story's end. No indication is given that she was ever apprehended.
She just isn't mentioned... That seems most Gibson-like, letting her go.
Another interesting item in this story is a two-way mirror, known as an Argus
mirror. The Shadow is able to stand behind the mirror and peer into a reception
room without being seen. This is standard stuff today, with every cop show
having an interrogation room fitted with one. But apparently it was a new
technology back then. I've never seen one referred to as an "Argus" mirror,
however. I wonder if there's a story behind that...
Did you know that The Shadow keeps a special tool belt beneath his cloak? Sounds
a little like Batman's utility belt. It's something I hadn't run across before,
but is briefly mentioned in this story. No details are given, just a tantalizing
hint. Makes one wonder what tools he kept there.
"Quetzal" was published in the February 15, 1937 issue of The Shadow Magazine. The
mysterious Quetzal of this story's title is a hidden master-spy located
somewhere in Mexico. No one knows the identity of Quetzal. He is identified only
by a jeweled medallion containing the feathered, dark-eyed image of the ancient
Aztec serpent-god Quetzal. Whoever he is, he's up to no good. He has acquired
the secret plans to a hidden military base being built in on the Gulf of
California in Old Mexico, and is about to sell them to unspecified foreign
powers for two million dollars.
It's El Ombre to the rescue! That's what they call The Shadow in Mexico. In this
pre-WWII story, The Shadow has been assigned the task of tracking down the
unknown Quetzal by the state department. He must retrieve the secret plans
before they can reach the hands of our enemies.
As our story opens, The Shadow is on an small passenger plane bound from
Washington to San Diego. But somehow his plans have been learned by the enemy.
The plane has been filled with enemy agents who have learned the identity of The
Shadow. There is a terrific battle aboard the small passenger plane, and the
aircraft, which has unknowingly been diverted into Mexico, crashes in flames.
The Shadow and the innocent pilot are the only two who survive the plane crash.
All four enemy agents perish in the flames. The Shadow is unharmed, but the
pilot is injured. They are stranded in the desert, miles below the border. The
two slowly make their way to an isolated hacienda in the middle of the desert.
There, they receive aide and split up. The pilot heads for Mexico City, and we
never hear from him again. The Shadow rides on horseback out over the mountain
passes toward Ensenada.
Once in Ensenada, The Shadow will find danger, intrigue and mystery. Death
awaits The Shadow. Death from the sinister hand of Quetzal and his multitude of
minions. It will take all the powers at his disposal to confront the evil of
Quetzal. It will take cunning to thwart the sinister plans of the hidden
master-spy. And it will take courage beyond belief to enter the den of enemy
agents in search of the secret plans. Yes, this is a job for El Ombre!
The only familiar agent of The Shadow appearing in this story is Harry Vincent.
He makes a brief but vital appearance. A new agent appears with little
introduction - a solemn-faced Indian - Moyo. And the only appearance of the
forces of law and order is government agent Vic Marquette. The Shadow appears in
several disguises: his oft-used disguise as Lamont Cranston, a man who did exist
but whose identity was appropriated by The Shadow, Henry Arnaud, a man who did
not exist but was kept for emergency occasions, a slow-moving Mexican peon with
no name, and the wealthy Mexican Senor Jose Rembole.
Rembold, it should be noted, is an anagram for "El Ombre." The disguise of Jose
Rembole would be used again, in the following issue of The Shadow Magazine, when
The Shadow would meet "The Masked Headsman." After that, the character never
appeared again.
It's interesting to note that The Shadow carries his massive .45 automatics on
the airplane. And he's not alone. The four other passengers also carry weapons:
a .38 revolver, a thick knife, and a woman's .32 pistol. Wow, how times have
changed! These days, you can't even board a plane with a sharp comb.
Another unique feature of this story is that there are two female villains.
Walter Gibson rarely wrote female antagonists into this stories. But this story
actually has two of them. One is an unnamed woman on the plane that seeks to
kill The Shadow. She perishes with the others in the plane crash. The other is
the sinister Dolores Borenza who also dies in the story. Usually, if Gibson
wrote in a female villain, he reformed her by the end of the story. But in this
one, both die. Quite unusual!
It's interesting to ponder how the four enemy agents aboard the plans knew that
the man disguised as Cranston was in reality The Shadow. All doubt that they
know this man is The Shadow is erased when they cry, "The Shadow! Finish him!"
How has the Cranston disguise been penetrated? Will it be safe to use the
disguise of Lamont Cranston in the future? Or is it now common knowledge?
That strange phial of purplish liquid that we've come to admire makes another
appearance in this story. It seems The Shadow carries it with him everywhere.
And it has a variety of uses. This time, drops of the elixir trickle down the
throat of the pilot, reviving him immediately. Good thing the phial wasn't
broken in the plane crash!
This story makes for a nice change of pace, after all those New York settings.
It's one of the classic Shadow stories.
Olsen was first introduced to The Shadow in the early 1960's, tuning in to
rebroadcasts of his adventures on KEX radio in Portland, Oregon. Several years
later, John was drawn to a hardback book entitled "The Weird Adventures of The
Shadow," containing three Shadow novels reprinted from the old pulp magazines.
The pulp Shadow was a far different character from the beloved radio version, but
the stories drew him in and opened his eyes to a richer version of the hero.
Today, John is retired in Sherwood, Oregon. He has read all 325 of
the old Shadow pulp mysteries and enjoys them so much that, as of this writing,
he is well over half way through reading them all again for a second time.

The keynote address of ECDL 2007 suggests that progress towards practical long-term digital preservation is stalled. The current article responds by sketching how a modest software development team could implement and deploy a previously described conceptual solution, Trustworthy Digital Object (TDO) methodology, for the technical component of digital preservation. It emphasizes scholarly and cultural digital content, but could be extended to discuss bureaucratic records. Curators cannot afford unique technology, but must exploit marketplace offerings. Macro economic facts suggest shifting most preservation work from repository institutions to their users. Much of the software needed is available. It has, however, not yet been selected, adapted, integrated, or deployed for digital preservation. Our earlier articles describe conceptual solutions for all known challenges of preserving a single object, but do not deal with software development or collection scaling. We describe a practical strategy for detailed design and implementation of software to automate the clerical component of digital preservation. Tools for daily work can embed packaging for preservation without much burdening their users. Document handling is complicated by human sensitivity to communication nuances. Our engineering section therefore suggests how project managers can master the many pertinent details.

Academic Interests
Dr. Wong is an Associate Professor of Health Communication. His areas of research primarily look at the intersections between health communication, mass communication, and social influence. Specifically, his research is focused on looking at how people process and respond to different theoretically-derived message strategies for communicating health-related information within a variety of mass-mediated contexts (e.g., television, Internet, social media), and across a wide range of health topics such as HPV vaccinations, tobacco cessation, binge drinking, cancer prevention, and relationship violence.
Also, some of his recent works have examined the role entertainment media plays in shaping people's beliefs and attitudes toward stigmatized health groups (e.g., those suffering a mental illness). Currently, he is working on developing and testing messages aimed at more effectively communicating the risks associated with e-cigarette products and reducing the onset of e-cigarette use (vaping) among young adult non-smokers.
He is recognized for his expertise related to public health campaign communication.

Mark Tremonti has a long and colourful history of working with PRS; with numerous signature models over the years, he's becoming something of an informal brand ambassador. Now they've taken their working relationship to the next level with the release of the MT15 - an incredible lunchbox amp that combines the aggression, articulation and precision of Tremonti's sound in spectacular fashion!
See our great package deal for head a matching cab!
Only available for inshore collection or free local delivery
Massive Sound, Compact Unit
The MT15 was designed to satisfy the darkest desires of hard rock and metal players, with a gain channel that that delivers a sizeable, punchy sound while retaining perfect definition. This is Tremonti's first signature amp, so both him and PRS have made sure that it'll make your chugging rhythms smack and your leads soar like never before.
Despite this, the clean channel has been carefully tweaked to have a bright bell-like resonance, ideal for plucking, strumming and ambient playing alike. Regardless of the tone you choose, the MT15 will remain balanced and responsive - uncompromising!
Proficient and Versatile
PRS have been kind enough to arm this nifty unit with a few secret weapons too; the clean channel features a push/pull boost control that pushes the sound into crispy, biting blues territory. You've also got separate EQ controls for both channels, allowing you to truly hone in on the sound of your choice!
As well as this, you've got an FX loop, bias adjusters and power attenuation (15W to 7W), giving you all the legroom you'll need. Make no mistake - the MT15 is a formidable amplifier that makes a worthy addition to both PRS' and Tremonti's repertoire!
Here's what PRS have to say about the Mark Tremonti MT15 head:
The MT 15 - the Alter Bridge and Creed hero's first signature amp - is a 'commanding' two channel lunchbox powered by 6L6 tubes, designed very much with heavier players in mind - though PRS are adamant it has a lot to offer players of all genres.
"We knew we wanted a low-wattage amp. The challenge was getting a lot of tone and features in a little box. We're all blown away with how it turned out. It's going to be great for someone to take it out of the box, set everything to noon, and have it sound great." - Mark Tremonti, 2018

Samantha Blampied and John McLaughlin, Research Surveyors for MARINElife (Registered Charity No. 1110884; Registered Company No. 5057367)
Weather: Sunny to start and low winds but with thick fog on the first crossing and then heavy rain and a less favourable sea state on the return journey.
Summary of sightings:
Sooty Shearwater Puffinus
griseus 2
Storm Petrel Hydrobates pelagicus 1
Gannet Morus bassanus 7
Shag Phalacrocorax aristotelis 5
Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo 3
Great Black-backed Gull Larus marinus 4
Lesser black-backed Gull Larus fuscus 3
Herring Gull Larus argentatus 10
Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla 2
Grey Heron Ardea cinerea 1
Tern sp. 1
I would firstly like to thank the Condor staff and captains for being so welcoming and accommodating us during the survey. Also, thank you to Rachel Gifford for arranging our places on the boat, especially during the particularly busy summer holiday period.
The day started off lovely and sunny and, with high hopes of seeing dolphins, John and I boarded the Condor Rapide. Once on the bridge the captain informed us that there was thick fog out to sea and about 20 minutes into the crossing we encountered a fog bank that didn't clear until we were a few miles off the coast of St. Malo. While the fog meant a nice smooth crossing, it also meant we could not see much for the majority of the journey, although during clear patches we did manage to see Gannet, Shag, a few gulls, two Sooty Shearwater and a lone Storm Petrel. The latter two being a cause for excitement.

The sun was still shining when we arrived in St. Malo but it quickly turned to cloud and rain. The weather slowly deteriorated throughout the day and unfortunately didn't clear up in time for the return journey. Heavy rain accompanied us for the majority of the sailing, the plus side being we could at least see for a few kilometres this time. With the windscreen wipers on we were able to continue the survey and logged a small number of seabird species. Just before we arrived in Jersey we saw a Grey Heron flying towards the coast line. Unfortunately we did not see cetaceans on either crossing, but it was good practice for our bird identification skills and also for training a keen eye in unfavourable conditions.

Fun Facts
From Book of Mormon Onomasticon
Fun Facts About Our Onomasticon
- The Book of Mormon contains 337 proper names and 21 gentilics (or analogous forms) based on proper names. Included in this count are names that normally would not be called proper, such as kinds of animals, if they appear as transliterations in the English text and not as translations. Conversely, proper names that appear only in translation are not included, such as Bountiful and Desolation. Of these 337 proper names, 188 are unique to the Book of Mormon, while 149 are common to the Book of Mormon and the Bible. If the textual passages common to the Book of Mormon and the Bible are excluded, 53 names occur in both books.
- Apart from King James English spellings of biblical names in the Book of Mormon, the letters F, Q, V, W, X, and Y do not appear in transliterated Book of Mormon nouns. The one exception is the /FF/ in ZENIFF and ZIFF. This exception could be explained by an aspirated final /p/.
- F only appears singly in one such noun which is familiar from the KJV (LUCIFER).
- V only appears inside such nouns which are familiar from the KJV (EVE, LEVI).
- W only appears inside one such noun which is familiar from the KJV (JEW, JEWS).
- Y only appears inside such nouns which are familiar from the KJV (MARY, SYRIA, TIMOTHY).
- Q and X do not appear at all.
- The Lehite-Mulekite names often show greatest affinity with Semitic languages (CWHN 6:281-94). For instance, Abish and Abinadi resemble ab, father, names in Hebrew; Alma appears in a Bar Kokhba letter (c. A.D. 130) found in the Judean desert; Mulek could be a diminutive of West Semitic mlk, king; Omni and Limhi appear to have the same morphology as Old Testament Omri and Zimri; Jershon is remarkably close to a noun form of the Hebrew root yrs (see below). Some Lehite-Mulekite names resemble Egyptian: Ammon, Korihor, Pahoran, and Paanchi (CWHN 5:25-34). Jaredite names exhibit no consistently obvious linguistic affinity.
- Scholars working on this project have connected Book of Mormon names to Hebrew, Aramaic, Egyptian, and other ancient Near Eastern languages.

I have a problem that I think most moms have. I can't seem to keep my house clean. No matter how many trips per month we make to The Goodwill to drop off our excess, the junk seems to multiply like my daughter's favorite animals: bunnies!
And with my personality, it just drives me nuts. I spend a lot of time putting things away, vacuuming floors and purging stuff.
And my poor kids. They just want to play and I just want to put every thing away.
But today.
Today, I looked at the house. I saw the mess and I decided that I would embrace it. And more importantly I would embrace life.
I pulled out the finger paints which is something I'd much rather display than use. Being honest here.
Here's Charlee doing finger paint in a box (a trick I picked up from her brilliant teachers as it helps better contain the mess).
Or so I thought. Love this girl. Unlike my eldest, she is not afraid to get her hands, her face, her entire body dirty in order to have fun!
Here's my youngest taking it all in.
And while my eldest was at swim lessons and Charlee was having a blast with paints, I knocked out a few projects.
My mom made this cross stitch piece 7 years ago. It has been sitting in a box folded up for SEVEN years! All because I've wanted to get it professionally framed. It may not look as pretty in this frame but it is IN a frame!
And here's some patriotic garland I hope to hang from the mantle.
Here is my handsome guy after his first day of swim lessons.
So although my house may not be pristine right now, my heart is full. Perhaps I'll embrace the mess more often!

NEW YORK (VNA) — Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations, has highlighted the UN Charter's significance in maintaining international peace and security and called on the agency's bodies to uphold the Charter's purpose and principles.
"The severity and complexity of these challenges require a determined approach from the United Nations, particularly its main organs including the General Assembly, the Security Council and the ECOSOC, in upholding the purposes and principles of the Charter, Nga said at the Open Debate of the Security Council on "Respect for the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations as a key element for the maintenance of international peace and security" in New York on February 15.
Special attention must be paid to the respect for the unique nature of each nation in terms of history, culture, politics and economics, she affirmed.
According to the Ambassador, the UN must further promote and assist member states in utilising the applicable means specified in Article 33 of the Charter in the settlement of disputes, while deepening its relationship with regional and sub-regional organisations, which play a significant role in settling these disputes.
It is also essential to mobilise resources and develop capabilities for UN peacekeeping operations to ensure its readiness, efficiency and effectiveness, she said.
She emphasised ASEAN solidarity in building a regional architecture conducive to stability and prosperity, as well as addressing regional security challenges through political and security advancements in ASEAN Community.
Vietnam is working with partners to develop tools for conflict prevention and peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with the purpose and principles of the UN Charter, she stressed. — VNA/VNS

Today marks the 71st Anniversary of the Normandy Landings on D-Day. As the day winds down I thought it best to share one of my favorite scenes from a film that tried to capture the chaos and death of the fateful day on June 6, 1944. The film in question is Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. This is the film which won him his second Best Director Oscar (I still think the film should've won Best Picture over Shakespeare In Love) and the film which helped redefine not just how war films were shot from 1998 on, but also de-glorify World War II on film.
This scene showed the opening moments of the D-Day Landings on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. It's a scene that's over 22-minutes in length and shows the utter chaos and destruction heaped on American troops as they attempted to land on the beach to take their objectives. While there have been war film before Saving Private Ryan that depicted war as the hell it truly is they were mostly about the Vietnam War. Rarely did we ever get a World War II-based war film which showed war in realistic fashion. Spielberg broke that taboo by making the battle scenes in his film — especially this extended opening sequence — done as realistic as possible without actually having people killed for real on-screen.
When this film first came out in the summer of 1998 no one knew what to make of it. This opening sequence became the talk of everyone who went to see the film. To say that they were shocked by what they saw was an understatement. Even now with over a decade since the film was released and people having seen this scene over and over again it still retain it's impact. It's not even the grand scale of the production required to film this action sequence which made this scene so memorable. It were the little things. Like a mortally wounded American GI crying out to his mother while trying to keep his blown out insides from spilling out. Then there's the scene of another young soldier praying furiously with his rosary beads as men around him die by the score.
This scene also showed what most World War II films of the past failed to do. It showed both sides behaving barbarically. In the past, only the Germans were shown in a bad light. In Saving Private Ryan, we see that American soldiers were also prone at shooting surrendering troops and/or not mercy-killing enemy soldiers being burned alive (actions that have been well-documented by historians). This scene also showed just how courageous the young men of this generation which Tom Brokaw has called "The Greatest Generation". Men who went off to war not for material gains, but for an idea that they had to stop evil (Nazi and Hitler) from taking all of Europe and, maybe, the world itself.
There's a reason why Saving Private Ryan is in my list for greatest films of all-time and why this scene remains one of my all-time favorites.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—The Lake Erie College baseball team fell to the University of Indianapolis 7-5 Friday (March 4) on the road in nonconference play.
Neither team came across the plate until the bottom of the third, when the Greyhounds scored five.
The Storm got on the board in the top of the fifth. Nigel Williams (Cincinnati, Ohio/La Salle) hit a double to center field and moved to third on a groundout. Austin Bovenzi (Fairport, N.Y./McQuaid Jesuit) brought Williams home with a single to right field, cutting the lead to four.
In the top of the seventh, Williams hit a one out single and moved to second on a wild pitch. Once again, Bovenzi brought Williams across the plate with a single. Rees Rua (Amherst, Ohio/Amherst Steele) followed up with a pitch hit single that brought Bovenzi home from second, cutting the lead to two.
The Greyhounds scored one in the bottom of the frame to extend their lead to three. They added an additional run in the bottom of the eighth.
In the top of the eighth, Williams and Kody Bledsoe (Elyria, Ohio/Amherst Steele) singled to lead off the inning. Lucas Raley (Hinckley, Ohio/Medina Highland) doubled to center field, scoring the two base runners. However, it was not enough to overcome the Greyhounds lead.
Williams ended the game going three-for-three with three runs. Bovenzi had two hits with two RBI and one run. Raley had two hits with a pair of RBI. Bledsoe had one hit and one run.

One of the complaints often heard from parents is that their children don't help with chores at home. They don't clean their rooms, help with the laundry, do dishes, vacuum, walk the dog, etc. What they actually do is make messes faster than one could clean it and look at the parent as if it was the their parental duty to clean up after them. You would do anything for your children, but what lessons in responsibility and accountability do they learn if you do things for them all the time, especially when they were more than capable to do it themselves. There are some experiments and methods you can use to get them helping out, instead.
Part 1 of 3:
Keeping a Positive Attitude
Part 1 of 3:
1Stay calm and think positively. The laws of attraction state that if you want something positive to happen in your life you need to visualize it happening. If you want your children to help out with chores at home, you can visualize it happening (even though the vision gets cloudy and unclear from time to time). In order to make that vision a reality, you need to stay calm and think positive.
- Make an affirmation that you will teach your child/children lessons on how to take care of themselves. Doing so will be beneficial to their independence in the future and they will in time incorporate those lessons into routines of daily living.
2Be patient. Change is hard for children as it is for adults, however, if you keep calm and think positive that you will make the right choices for your family by starting new routines, such as cleaning with the goal of it actually getting done, then you are on the right path to a success.
- If you're stressed about the changes, your children will be, too. Stay calm, stay positive, and be firm but kind as you implement any new cleaning routine.
Part 2 of 3:
Making a Cleaning Routine and Chart
Part 2 of 3:
1Decide who should do what. A major part of cleaning your home is having a plan. Getting organized by making a family cleaning chart works well when everyone does their part, and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
- What needs to be done in each individual room?
- Who should take out the garbage and recycling?
- Who will feed the pets or walk them if needed?
2Design a chart that is fair for the family members based on their abilities and ages. Think about what your child is capable of doing and jot it down.
- Toddlers can help by putting their toys away, placing clothes in a hamper, and help dusting for example. Singing a clean up song usually will get them motivated.
- Young children as old as 4 and 5 can help vacuum, dust, and help with laundry.
- Older children ages 8 and up should be able to do those tasks and more, including washing dishes, filling/emptying the dishwasher, and organizing, without much assistance once they get the hang of it.
- Also kids could help clean counters, bathrooms, and floors. Using an all natural cleaner might be ideal under these circumstances, such as vinegar and water (verify if the surface can be cleaned with vinegar before doing so), or even a diluted soapy solution that can be rinsed and wiped with a wash cloth.
3Design and make your chart. Try to make it visually appealing and color-coded, without making it too distracting on the eyes. You want to be able to focus when you look at it. You can do an online search for options on design. Some websites offer free printable templates or you can create your own via computer. You can also go the old fashioned route of using paper and your favorite writing utensil, if you desire.
4Consider using rewards. You may also want to decide at this time if you are going to put a reward system in place to keep your children motivated. Choose what works best for your family based on your values and what feels right. If after a few weeks it is still not working, reassess, and revise your rewards plan as needed. Whatever you decide, be consistent.
- Sticker charts work well for younger children.
- You may decide to use allowance.
- You can also be stricter about consequences; for example, if they fail to do their chores, don't let them have friends over. You do, however, want to reward them for following through on their responsibilities and give them extra privileges such as extra time at the park, family date night, etc.
Part 3 of 3:
Introducing the New Routine
Part 3 of 3:
1Plan how to introduce the new routine. Your family members may resist at first, so introduce it slowly and be clear and kind but firm about the guidelines. If you have family/friends that live with you and are willing to give you support and input, then take advantage of making this project an inclusive team approach.
- Hold a family meeting, preferably when things are light and fluffy and not after any member has had a rough day; as kids are more agreeable when under less stress. Stick to your plan and let your child/children know that chores are a requirement and not a suggestion/option. They may or may not give you grief, but even if they do, stay firm with the decision as it will benefit the entire family as well as the individual child.
2Set a start date and get started on a new family routine. You and your family can totally do this! Getting started is the hardest part, but once you have started you will be much happier when the chores are all done. Think of how accomplished and thankful your children will be to have completed their chores.Advertisement

Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.Submit
- There are also apps available to allow you to track chore completion and reward children with points and rewards for their participation.
- You will be amazed by how much children can actually really do when you as a parent let them do their best and give them positive praises and reinforcement on what they are accomplishing.
- It is okay to give constructive criticism if truly necessary. Please note that nit picking is not constructive criticism and is not going to make them more eager to help. On the contrary, nit picking has the opposite effect with many children and makes them feel as if they are not capable of doing it right on their own.
- Clean together as a family. It can be much more fun and motivating to do it together than for your child to motivate themselves. If you choose to work as a team bring up the fun a notch (who said cleaning had to be boring) by playing some music and dancing while you make the dust bunnies shimmy right on to your duster. You could also play a board game (preferably a short one) after certain tasks are completed. For example, you might play 3 rounds of dominoes with the family in between cleaning rooms as to break up the monotony and have some additional fun.
- Play with your children while you clean. For example, when doing laundry you can pretend you are bakers. The washing machine is the mixer, the dryer is the oven. The folding of the clean clothes is the cake decoration. The placement of folded clothes into drawers are the cakes gracefully being placed in the satisfied customer's car trunk. It works and the kids have fun.
- Be consistent if you want to see progress in your child/children's behavior when it comes to chores! It will work!
- Do not compare children when they are doing chores. Children have on days and off days just like adults and the extra judgement call when one child is doing better than the other increases sibling rivalry. Your goal is for your children to work together and not against one another.

Product Overview
Ceasefire introduces Pro Wireless, a wireless fire alarm system designed to take detection to a whole new level. The system is governed by the Pro Control Panel, a panel fully capable of automatically collecting data from the various sensors. The very instant a fire is detected, the detectors wirelessly talk to the Pro Panel, which in turn triggers a response, raising the alarm and displaying the exact location of the threat on the LCD screen.
Then, it takes a technological leap. The Pro Panel allows a 24x7 connection with strategically placed wireless cameras that capture every moment. These cameras become your eyes on the scene, letting you stay connected with the goings-on on your premises. When a threat is detected, the Pro Panel's SecureSoft software instantly dispatches an SMS, an email, and an MMS to you, with footage captured from the wireless camera both before and after the time the system is triggered.

West Virginia passed a bill yesterday that will automatically register its citizens to vote when they interact with the Department of Motor Vehicles unless they opt-out. With the bill's passage, assuming it is signed by Governor Earl Tomblin, West Virginia becomes the third state to adopt automatic voter registration — an unquestionably good policy. Oregon and California have also adopted automatic voter registration, and similar legislation is pending in over a dozen states across the country.
It's worth noting that the automatic voter registration provision was added by Democrats as an amendment to a Republican-sponsored voter ID bill. On balance, that's a compromise progressives should be willing to make — especially in this case, where the ID requirement is very broad. As ABC reported, "items from utility bills to fishing licenses count. Poll workers or friends could also vouch for voters who can't produce identification."
News outlets reporting on West Virginia's bill have gone out of their way to note that between California, Oregon and West Virginia, one of these things is not like the others. Automatic voter registration is considered to be a Democratic policy, because Democrats want more people to vote. But when Democrats suggested the policy as an amendment to form a compromise on voter ID, Republicans didn't object. In fact, some Republican legislators in the state even seemed borderline enthusiastic. As Senate President Bill Cole (R – Mercer) said, "If managed properly, automatic registration is a great benefit to our citizens and will encourage more people to go to the polls." Why were West Virginia Republicans so open to this dramatic expansion of ballot access?
I have a theory:
Of states where Republicans control at least one chamber of the legislature and/or the governorship, West Virginia has one of the lowest African-American population shares. Only 3.6% of West Virginians are African-American, ranking 37th nationally. Republican states that have enthusiastically pursued stricter forms of voter ID laws while rejecting attempts to make voter registration easier — Alabama, Texas, North Carolina, e.g. — all have much higher African-American shares of the population.
In fact, Alabama was recently warned by the Department of Justice that their state had been out of compliance with the National Voter Registration Act for over two decades.
Conservative lawmakers have at times demonstrated an uncanny ability to support strikingly progressive policies, provided that not too many black people will benefit from them. As I wrote in January:
Racism remains one of the primary predictors of opposition to social welfare programs in the United States. And it's no accident that the states with some of the most progressive policies — North Dakota has a public bank; Utah provides free housing to its homeless population; Alaska's permanent fund dividend is, for all intents and purposes, a universal basic income — also happen to be some of the whitest.
West Virginia's adoption of automatic voter registration, with Republican support, is being heralded by voting rights advocates as proof that the policy doesn't need to be so heavily politicized. Making voter registration easier doesn't have to be a partisan issue; just look at West Virginia! But to the extent that this shows that automatic voter registration isn't necessarily a partisan issue, this does suggest that it remains a partisan issue as it intersects with race.
So yeah, we'll take the win. But let's not pretend this strategy can be replicated in, say, Mississippi.

The big news today is that Paolo fixed the last remaining problems in the runtime and the compiler and we are now completely self hosting on Linux. Which is good.
I am still working on the new type lookup system that should close various bugs in the compiler.
Martin Baulig will be an intern over at Ximian for a couple of weeks during the summer. These are great news, because he is the man behind the debugging support in Mono. Great news. Just great.

Studies on overheating in buildings
Since the EPBD recast 2010 and more in particular in Northern, Western and Eastern countries studies are being published on overheating in recently constructed buildings.
The reason of the increasing overheating risk is not only climate change but is also an unexpected consequence of more insulated and air-tight buildings.

How to Tweet Like Jim Morrison
Twitter is bit confusing for a newbie therefore only smart, intelligent and suave people hangs out here. It's a safe haven for internet marketers for generating enough traffic, it's the mouthpiece of the depressed revolutionaries, it's an extremely satiating platform for writers, and it's definitely a lighthouse for the lost but everybody isn't successful in gaining followers, retweets and replies. Tweeting shamelessly day in and day out may not be a good idea. Please don't spam for god's sake.
Jim Morrison's thoughts were deep. His disconnected words had enough meaning. His songs were touted as classic. He is the God of the cult generation. He is alive for his followers because he was different. His poems were simple yet very profound. Jim Morrison is the new religion. He would have ruled the urban sky if he would have been alive but sadly all good things abandon us before the rise.
Oh Twitter! The next best thing for a blogger but it's really hard to establish yourself in this fast rising world. You are no Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, you are no Ashton Kutcher or Kim Kardashion. Your words may not be taken seriously but you definitely have to say something to the world may be much more profound things than one could hardly imagine. Twitter gives you power to flaunt your logical madness. Tweet everyday. Tweet for love, keep retweeting but don't forget to create original content as real things never go unrecognized. Remember, it's a crazy world and only wild things make news therefore tweet something illogically different…
My Twitter: Don't Unfollow me
