Across the globe, people from all walks of life made resolutions on New Year's Eve, aiming, as they do every year, to have another stab at doing better in the areas where they've lagged.
For financial advisors, the end of one year and the beginning of another is an excellent time to get their clients to commit to making at least one, sound financial decision. The human mind is wired in terms of viewing New Year's Eve as a landmark event, said Katherine Milkman, the James G. Campbell, Jr. assistant professor of operations and information management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Research has shown that it's one date that inspires positive behavioral tendencies in most people, she said.
However, Milkman's research has expanded the body of evidence on the so-called "New Year's Effect" by showing that human beings actually make positive resolutions at any number of different points in their lives.
"There are many points at which people start new cycles," she said, "including the beginning of a new month, the start of a new week, their birthdays and a whole list of other landmark dates."
Studying this "Fresh Start Effect," she said, can prove extremely valuable in many different ways, particularly as it relates to financial planning, because it has the potential to help people overcome willpower problems that often limit goal attainment.
Milkman and her team studied three different data sets to formulate their theory. They looked at the number of Google searches done on diets and examined data on gym attendance—two very important markers of aspirational behavior, especially after major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"We extended our data search to birthdays, which also exhibit the Fresh Start Effect in areas like gym attendance," she said.
In order to rule out any incidence of the rise in gym attendance or commitments to new diets as purely a short-lived compensation act for gluttony and indulgence during the holiday period, the group also monitored action on the website StickK.com, a goal-setting platform where users can create an online contract in any area they choose, with a referee to monitor progress toward their goal and an agreement to forfeit a certain sum of money if that goal isn't met. The site enforces the contract, Milkman said, "and we looked to see whether people created more commitments on landmark dates."
Sure enough, action on the site demonstrated clearly the Fresh Start Effect, "so we know that commitments made on landmark dates aren't just driven by gluttony," Milkman said.
The study, detailed in a paper entitled "The Fresh Start Effect: Temporal Landmarks Motivate Aspirational Behavior," implies that people need to "grab these moments and take advantage of them." Milkman said, "These are opportunities to really tackle aspirations."
Temporal landmarks, including personally meaningful events such as birthdays and job changes as well as socially constructed calendar partitions like a new month or a public holiday, demarcate the passage of time and open new mental accounting periods, Milkman said. Specifically, natural time markers create discontinuities in time perceptions that make people feel disconnected from past imperfections by disrupting their focus on day-to-day minutiae and promoting a big-picture view of life.
For financial planning, the research is even more meaningful.
While many people start out gung-ho with diets and exercise, many of them don't last that long. On the other hand, a single financial planning decision such as committing a set sum from a paycheck to a retirement account has much longer-term implications, Milkman said.
"Compared to gyms and diets, all you need to do when you make a financial decision is to make one choice on one day for a long-term change," she said.
As such, it would be greatly beneficial for financial planners struggling to get their clients on track to figure out which landmarks other than New Year's Eve are important to them, Milkman said.
"Let's say an advisor contacted someone right before or right after their 40th birthday and said, 'This is a milestone event and a time to step back and think about your financial plan.' It would surely excite their clients and be a great moment to get them to commit to an important financial decision," she said. "We know that there's a huge inertia surrounding financial decisions and people neither take those decisions quickly nor make changes to them very quickly. We think that based on this research, more people may be willing to take financial decisions on landmark dates, so this has a natural implication for financial planning."

BOSTON - May 1, 2007 - A study led by researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center provides good news for patients with type 1 diabetes who want to maintain tight blood glucose control and thus significantly reduce their risk of developing the devastating complications of the disease¾heart disease, kidney failure, eye disease and blindness, and nerve damage. The study, which is part of the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study (EDIC) funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will be published in the May 3, 2007, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The EDIC is a follow-up study of the Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT), a large NIH-funded study that compared intensive management of blood glucose to conventional control in people with type 1 diabetes. The study's findings established the effectiveness of tight blood glucose control in dramatically slowing the onset and progression of diabetes complications. However, intensive control increased episodes of severe hypoglycemia ¾ abnormally low blood glucose levels that can cause confusion, irrational behavior, convulsions and unconsciousness ¾ that is associated with tight control. After following participants for 12 more years, the researchers have shown that multiple episodes of severe hypoglycemia do not lead to long-term loss of cognitive ability. They cautioned, however, that further study is needed to determine whether hypoglycemic episodes in young children have any lasting cognitive effects, since the youngest DCCT participants were 13 years old at the beginning of the study.
"The EDIC study provides further support for the safety of intensive diabetes therapy and the benefits of maintaining good glycemic control," says the study's principal investigator, Alan M. Jacobson, M.D., head of Joslin's Behavioral and Mental Health Research Section and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Preliminary findings from the EDIC study were presented at the June 2006 Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association. "While acute episodes of hypoglycemia can impair thinking and can even be life-threatening, type 1 diabetes patients do not have to worry that such episodes will impair their long-term abilities to perceive, reason and remember."
"Hypoglycemia is a serious, frightening experience," said Catherine Cowie, Ph.D., who oversees EDIC for the NIH. "However, given the importance of intensive blood glucose control in preventing the complications of diabetes, it is tremendously heartening to know that such episodes have no long-term cognitive effects in the age groups studied in the DCCT/EDIC."
The DCCT findings confirmed Dr. Elliott P. Joslin's theory on the benefits of tight diabetes control in reducing diabetes complications. The DCCT investigators examined 1,441 subjects, ages 13 to 39, with type 1 diabetes. About half of the group received intensive therapy with either an insulin pump or three or more daily insulin injections. The remaining subjects received conventional therapy of one to two insulin injections daily. During the study, the patients' A1C readings, which reflect average blood glucose levels over several months, differed between the two groups by about 2 percentage points (7.1 percent for the intensive therapy group vs. 9.0 percent for the conventional). At the study's conclusion in 1993, researchers reported that the group receiving intensive therapy experienced 76 percent less eye disease, 50 percent less kidney disease, and 60 percent less nerve disease. As a result of their findings, intensive therapy was recommended for all subjects taking part in the trial.
But the DCCT also showed that tight control comes at a cost: patients who received intensive therapy were three times as likely to experience hypoglycemic episodes severe enough to require the assistance of another person than patients who were on conventional therapy. This finding raised the fear that, although tight control may lower the risk of developing serious diabetes complications, it might also lead to a long-term loss of cognitive ability.
At the start of the DCCT, in order to evaluate the potential impact of diabetes treatment and recurrent hypoglycemic episodes on cognitive ability, all patients were given a comprehensive battery of cognitive tests. These tools analyzed abilities in eight domains: problem solving, learning, immediate memory, delayed recall, spatial information, attention, psychomotor efficiency and motor speed. When these tests were repeated during the DCCT on an average of 6.5 years after its start, no adverse effects were observed that were associated with either treatment type or with the number of severe hypoglycemic episodes experienced.
Although these findings were encouraging, the researchers recognized the need for longer-term follow-up to determine if the increase in hypoglycemic episodes would affect cognitive ability over time. Furthermore, a longer-term study would allow them to examine whether the added effect of increasing age and duration of the disease might also contribute to a decline in cognitive ability.
To answer these questions, Dr. Jacobson and his colleagues at 28 other medical centers around the country examined 1,144 participants from the original DCCT trial: 588 patients who had received intensive therapy, and 556 patients who received conventional therapy. Tracking for hypoglycemic comas or seizures over the 12-year period following the DCCT, 889 patients reported no such events; 246 reported from one to five events; and nine patients reported more than five.
"While it is most gratifying to find little evidence of a direct effect of moderately severe hypoglycemia on intelligence, diabetic patients still need to avoid hypoglycemia because very low blood sugar levels can trigger a temporary reduction in their ability to pay attention and react quickly, which may, in turn, lead to serious injuries," said Christopher Ryan, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Health & Community Systems at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
The researchers evaluated all of the patients using the same neuropsychological tests administered during the DCCT trial. Adjusting for age, sex, years of education, length of follow-up, and the number of cognitive tests taken, the researchers found no change in any of the eight areas examined. Higher A1C readings among patients -- which indicate less, not tighter, control -- were associated with a modest decline in motor speed and psychomotor efficiency, but no other cognitive domain was affected.
"The DCCT/EDIC is a study of the complications of type 1 diabetes that is entering its 23rd year and will continue through 2016. The study has been heralded for the high rate of ascertainment and the quality of the data," said Patricia A. Cleary, M.S., who is the director of the data coordinating center for DCCT/EDIC at the Biostatistics Center of The George Washington University.
Others collaborating with Dr. Jacobson in this study included: Amanda Burwood, Katie Weinger, Ed.D., R.N., and Gail Musen, Ph.D., of Joslin; Barbara Waberski, M.S., of George Washington University's Biostatistics Center; Meg Bayless, R.N., of the University of Iowa; William Dahms, M.D., of Case Western Reserve University; Nancy Silvers, R.N., of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; and Judy Harth, R.N., of the University of Western Ontario. The study was supported by grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases and the General Clinical Research Centers Program of the National Center for Research Resources.

Given that we haven't seen a Golden Axe game since Golden Axe: The Duel (for the SEGA Saturn), there's been plenty of time for the graphical wheel to move forward and the developer, Secret Level, has painted a respectable base coat the character models are detailed and weather effects, like rainfall and sweeping sand, lend to a sense of immersion.
The problem comes when you stare too long: there are constant screen tearing and randomly dropped frames. The soundtrack is heavily comprised of jungle beats that one would think match the on-screen action, but are really more of a sonic thud coming off as uninspired. In a surprise twist, the voice acting which is kept to a minimum is decent and the in-game cutscenes move the negligible story along at a fine pace.
The main single-player component will take most gamers a few hours to beat, which is actually a problem. Since the gameplay is so repetitive, you want it to be over sooner so you at least have the accomplishment of beating the game not to sink hours into an experience only to never see it evolve.
Secret Level included two modes to try and rope players back into play: Challenge Mode and Trials of Tyris. The first has you replaying all the single-player levels, trying to get more gold and a better grade. Trials of Tyris presents a series of battle arenas, fills them with enemies, and sees how long you can last. These two modes are really unwanted, as they rehash bits of the redundant single-player.
Golden Axe is best remembered as what it was a 16-bit sidescrolling hack-and-slash meant for two players to plow through in under an hour not a multi-hour gore fest with an Amazonian woman riding around on asinine creatures. If you must get a Golden Axe fix ,don't pay the premium price tag for Beast Rider get the original from Xbox LIVE Arcade or the Wii's Virtual Console.

The establishment of legal help desks is derived from Iraqi law, which stipulates that citizens without means to acquire legal counsel have the right to representation and assistance. However, as Dr. Zyad Saeed, a Rule of Law officer with UNDP noted, "One of the biggest obstacles to protecting human rights in Iraq is that citizens, particularly the most vulnerable groups, are not aware of how to fully obtain their rights and protections afforded by Iraqi law." The Rusafa Help Desk represents the first programme of its kind to service Baghdad and central Iraq. To build a culture of rights, the Help Desk relies on community activism to ensure that citizens are made aware of their rights and that claims are resolved more efficiently.
"Our collective efforts aim to enhance the state of human rights in Iraq by improving access to justice and legal aid mechanisms," said His Excellency Medhat al Mahmoud, Iraqi Chief Justice. "To achieve this, we look forward to partnering with communities and civil society organisations. This project is only a first step which constitutes a cornerstone for further support and replication nationwide."
At a time of escalating violence, vulnerable populations such as women, children, people living with disabilities and internally displaced persons face a critical need for legal assistance. The Rusafa Legal Help Desk will provide initial legal information and referral to beneficiaries, and may provide legal representation in court.
UNDP Iraq's Country Director Adam Abdelmoula emphasised that the "Rusafa Help Desk strengthens community ties by tasking citizens to promote, provide, and seek legal assistance at the local level. It is important that these services become embedded and perpetuated in all aspects of the legal culture – from education and public service to the institutions themselves."
The Help Desk is located directly within the Rusafa Justice Palace, the country's largest and oldest court complex and the site of the Baghdad Appellate Court. The decision to house the Help Desk on court premises is intended to increase visibility and public access. The Rusafa Help Desk is grounded within the community and is managed by Dar Al Khibra, an Iraqi NGO specialising in providing legal aid to vulnerable groups.
With the opening of the Help Desk in Baghdad's Rusafa Justice Palace, Iraq now has three help desks, all supported by UNDP, servicing citizens in northern, central, and southern Iraq.
Representatives from Iraq's Judiciary, UNDP, and the U.S. Embassy were present at the inauguration.

I got to enjoy a few days off after the Orange Bowl last week and took comfort in the fact there probably wouldn't be much Canes news outside of what Frank Haith's basketball team would do Saturday night against Wake Forest in a big ACC showdown.
It was definitely a good win for the Canes, who needed a big win to hang their hat on after going 14-1 against what was ranked the 313th best non-conference schedule. But as much as I want to keep focus on Canes hoops, the disturbing trend of emails I've been receiving lately concerning what U perceive as UM fading down the recruiting stretch warrants conversation.
Sunday night, UM lost yet another commitment from its 2010 class when Javarie Johnson of Dunbar High in Washington -- considered the Canes' top linebacker -- switched from UM to Maryland. According to several recruiting websites, Johnson's coaches said he wanted to stay closer to home. Canesport.com reported Johnson scored below an 820 on his SAT, which is the athlete requirement for admission to UM. Either way, Johnson became the third highly-rated recruit to drop off UM's commitment list since December, joining Miami Northwestern defensive tackle Todd Chandler (now headed to USF) and Jacksonville's Louis Nix (bound for Notre Dame)
The Hurricanes basically replaced Johnson with little known Kelvin Cain, a 6-4, 215-pound linebacker from Clovis Buchanan High School in California. Cain's other scholarship offers were from Fresno State, Portland State, Nevada and San Jose State, according to CaneSport.
Losing "commitments" is never good, especially those considered highly ranked. But it happens in recruiting. So you probably shouldn't be stunned or feel like the Canes' recruiting efforts are crumbling to the ground when it happens.
The real cause for concern will be if UM doesn't close strong come Feb. 3. Right now, most recruiting analysts would tell you this UM class being put together after a 9-3 season and bowl loss to Wisconsin is average at best, and certainly not anywhere near the top of any national rankings. UM has met needs. There are seven offensive linemen (St. Thomas Aquinas tackle Brandon Linder, Malcolme Bunche and Shane McDermott are solid), four linebackers (Gainesville Kevin Nelson is impressive), four cornerbacks (none highly regarded), three running backs (Storm Johnson and Eduardo Clements are considered high-end), two tight ends (JUCO signee Chase Ford should help right away), a quarterback, a safety, a defensive end and a receiver.
But where critics say UM has failed is nabbing the stars in their own backyard. And they -- the critics -- would be right. The 2010 class in South Florida was considered one of the best in the country (as usual). Yet, when you look over the top names from Palm Beach south all the way to Homestead, there aren't many who will be heading to Coral Gables in a few months to continue their football careers.
Look at the Top 40 players from South Florida according to Rivals.com and see where they are headed or what schools they are considering. I bolded the future Canes to make them easier to find...
1. Matt Elam, DB, Palm Beach Dwyer (Florida commitment)
2. Lamarcus Joyner, CB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida State commitment)
3. Jeff Luc, LB, Port St. Lucie (Florida State commitment)
4. Ivan McCartney, WR, Miramar (UM/West Virginia)
5. Gerald Christian, TE, Palm Beach Dwyer (Florida commitment)
6. Chris Dunkley, WR, Pahokee (Florida commitment)
7. Corey Lemonier, DL, Hialeah High (UM among six schools, but not favored)
8. Cody Riggs, CB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida commitment)
9. Michaelee Harris, WR, Northwestern (Louisville commitment)
10. Joshua Reese, WR, Miami Central (UCF commitment)
11. Quinton Dunbar, WR, Booker T. Washington (Florida commitment)
12. Eduardo Clements, RB, Booker T. Washington (Miami commitment)
13. Jakhari Gore, RB, Columbus (LSU commitment)
14. Giovanni Bernard, RB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Notre Dame commitment)
15. Lynden Trail, DE, Booker T. Washington (Florida commitment)
16. Delvin Jones, DE, Miami Palmetto (Tennessee commitment)
17. Torrian Wilson, OL, Miami Northwestern (Michigan, Tenn, Louisville)
18. Todd Chandler, DT, Miami Northwestern (USF commitment)
19. Brandon Gainer, RB, Miami Central (undecided)
20. De'Joshua Johnson, WR, Pahokee (Florida State commitment)
21. Brandon Linder, OL, St. Thomas Aquinas (Miami commitment)
22. Ethan Grant, RB, North Broward Prep (TCU commitment)
23. James Louis, WR, Delray Beach Atlantic (Ohio State commitment)
24. Jeffrey Godfrey, QB, Miami Central (UCF commitment)
25. Demar Dorsey, S, Boyd Anderson (Florida commitment)
26. Ted Meline, WR, North Miami (Tennessee commitment)
27. Richard Ash, DT, Pahokee (Michigan commitment)
28. Calvin Smith, DT, Hialeah (Tennessee commitment)
29. Brian Robinson, DB, St. Thomas Aquinas (undecided)
30. Shawn Corker, WR, Cardinal Gibbons (Texas Tech commitment)
31. Keion Payne, CB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Miami commitment)
32. Allen Hurns, WR, Carol City (Miami commitment)
33. David Perry, DE, University (Miami commitment)
34. James White, RB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Wisconsin commitment)
35. Darrius Milines, WR, Delray American Heritage (West Virginia commitment)
36. Max Beaulieu, DE, University (Syracuse commitment)
37. Shane McDermott, C, Palm Beach Central (Miami commitment)
38. Zachary Allen, LB, Pahokee (Wake Forest commitment)
39. Tony Grimes, CB, Hollywood Hills (Michigan/Mississippi)
40. Charles Fashaw, TE, Miami Northwestern (Undecided)
There were a few other Canes sprinkled in the Rivals 100 for Florida from other parts of the state: OT Tavadis Glenn from Jacksonville Parker was sandwiched in between Meline and Ash in the state rankings at No. 44; RB Darion Hall from Naples Lely is ranked 75th, right after Fashaw. Gainesville LB Kevin Nelson follows at 77, Fort Myers High CB Jeremy Davis is ranked 78th, OL Jonathan Feliciano from Davie Western is listed 92nd and QB Stephen Morris from Monsignor Pace is 93rd.
Rankings and stars aren't everything. But the fact remains there is a lot of talent in UM's backyard heading to other place (namely pretty good football programs). Randy Shannon and his staff could make up for it with some excellent evaluation work and coaching, getting under the radar guys, making them better players and superstars. And they still have plenty of other high-end recruits (No. 1 OL Seantrel Henderson, Lemonier, McCartney, LB Christian Jones, TE Christian Thomas) at least reportedly interested in giving the program a look with visits.
But here's my advice: Keep your fingers crossed and hope the guys Shannon hired to restock his program with talent are a lot better at this than Rivals.
> In case you were wondering... Last year, the Canes nabbed RB Lamar Miller, DB Brandon McGee, DL Luther Robinson and DL Olivier Vernon among the Top 12 South Florida prospects according to Rivals. Among the state's Top 100 recruits, UM signed No. 2 overall player and safety Ray Ray Armstrong, No. 33 prospect in defensive end Dyron Dye, No. 39 prospect in cornerback Jamal Reid, No. 43 prospect in RB Mike James and No. 92 prospect in OL Cory White.

Who would have thought making fun of Lady Gaga would be this difficult?
"Weird" Al Yankovic - who has built a career out of parody songs based on hit singles from the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers - was all set to take on Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" even though, as he explains on his official blog, he was originally apprehensive.
"Based on my concept, I was reasonably sure that my parody wasn't really going to offend anybody," writes Yankovic. "But I still decided, as an act of good karma, that I would donate all the money from sales of the song and music video to the Human Rights Campaign."
U.S. & World
However, after forcing Yankovic to actually record (at his own expense) the completed song before signing off on it (something he has never done, not even for the illustrious Jackson), Lady Gaga officially nixed "I Perform This Way," Yankovic's version of her hit "Born This Way." (The lyrics essentially make fun of her outlandish stage costumes)
So what did Yankovic do? He released the song anyway. For free.
My parodies have always fallen under what the courts call "fair use'," explains Yankovic. "And this one was no different, legally allowing me to record and release it without permission. But it has always been my personal policy to get the consent of the original artist before including my parodies on any album, so of course I will respect Gaga's wishes. However, given the circumstances, I have no problem with allowing people to hear it online, because I also have a personal policy not to completely waste my stinking time."

Rumors are already starting that Lady Gaga did not, in fact, reject Yankovic and that this all is a misunderstanding. Stay tuned.

Well, if you don't come here as a bit of a " fatalist ", you probably leave here as one.

She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

$8.5B deal the largest in company's history
Microsoft is making a big move into communications with its surprise plan to acquire Skype.
The company announced May 10 that it will acquire Skype for $8.5 billion – marking the largest acquisition in Microsoft's history.
Skype runs the giant global videoconferencing and voice communication network that has 170 million subscribers and logged 207 billion minutes of conversations last year, according to the company.
The service is free, though the company has a paid offering for premium services such as establishing multipoint conferences and communications with non-Skype users.
Microsoft's decision to buy Skype was unexpected, althrough rumors started swirling May 9 of a possible deal. Although Skype, through its investor group Silver Lake, had been considering an initial public offering, there were also rumors in recent days that Facebook and Google were interested in acquiring the company.
Also, Microsoft has its own communications technologies, including Lync for enterprise customers and Windows Live Messenger, but the acquisition of Skype promises to extend that footprint, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said in a prepared statement.
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world," Ballmer said. "Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world." .
Microsoft intends to run Skype as a separate division, to be headed by its CEO Tony Bates, who will become president of that business.The deal is subject to regulatory approval.
The deal is seen as an effort by Microsoft to expand its communications platform and keep pace with the likes of Google and Apple.
The company could work Skype's services into everything from its Bing search engine to its Xbox 360 game platform, reported Roger Cheng of Dow Jones Newswires. Skype could compete with Apple's Facetime video chat service and Google Voice, Cheng writes.
Skype, based in Luxembourg, was founded in 2003 and acquired by eBay in 2005 for $2.6 billion. The eBay acquisition turned out to be a drag on the company, which last year spun it off.

Mesh Module
Mesh ModulePosted by David Romero Arteaga at January 20. 2007when I was following the instructions in the tutorial about the integration of salome with Code_Aster and I tried to load the MESH module in salome the next message appear:
can not load libSMESH.so libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0: no se puede abrir el fichero del objeto compartido: No existe el fichero o el directorio.
It means can't open the directory: the file or the directory dosen't exist. (or something like that)
I found the file libSMESH.so in "/root/salome_3.2.2/SMESH_3.2.2/lib/salome"
I can't find the other one (libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_31.so.1.31.0).
I installed the program with the runInstall script under an Knoppix 4.0.1 it is a debian based distribution, of course I download the file to installed debian sarge. I want to know if anyone has installed salome in knoppix or if someone can help me to fix the problem.
This is for use salome and code_aster for a future live distribucion in my university.
Thanks a lot

The Jewel of Gresham Green
- Lawana Blackwell Author
- 2008 26 Aug
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from The Jewel of Gresham Green by Lawana Blackwell (Bethany House).
15 April 1884
Birmingham, England
Stitch and turn, stitch and turn, stitch and turn ...
Jewel Libby folded the raw edges of silk into narrow hems as her feet pumped the treadle. Monotony was what made the job dangerous. Most scarred fingers belonged not to the newest workers at J. Mobley, Elegant Corsets for the Particular Woman, but to those who had spent enough time in the sewing room to forget that the needle could hypnotize just before it bit.
That same necessity to be alert took away temptation to chat with the women nearest her for the six days weekly, ten hours daily Jewel sat among them. Besides, socializing could get a person sacked, and then how would she feed her daughter?
Mr. Fowler's whistle shrilled. Machines hummed into silence. Forty sets of eyes mirrored Jewel's own puzzlement, for no evening sunlight slanted through the west windows.
The manager jumped up onto a chair and clapped his hands; an unnecessary action in the tense stillness. "On account of the birth of Mr. Mobley's second granddaughter, you may all go home!"
"Four hours early!" Jewel said to another worker while joining the applause.
"God bless the child!" someone exclaimed.
"If she'd only been a grandson, we'd have been given the whole day," Mrs. Fenton said sagely during the homeward trek up Steelhouse Lane.
Jewel sent a look over her shoulder before risking a guilty smile. Not that Mr. Mobley would be anywhere in the vicinity. She had seen the factory owner once during two years of employment.
"Why are boys more valued than girls, do you think?" Jewel asked the older woman.
"Rich folk care about carryin' on the name. We poor need sons because we can send them out to work earlier than girls. And they're paid more."
Jewel gave her a sidelong look.
Mrs. Fenton shrugged. "Life's hard, if you ain't noticed."
They hurried past Perseverance Iron Works, its chimney belching smoke into the already pewter sky. Windows sent out ripples of heat. Jewel wondered how many sons of the poor sweat inside.
Thank God I have a girl, Jewel thought. Not that raising a daughter was easy. Most of her worries centered around Becky. Particularly of late.
They turned onto Vesey Street, then Halls Passage. Three-storey tenement buildings rose on both sides, identical in their stained brick, filth, foul odors, and weed-choked courtyards.
"I've got it!" a young voice called.
"Over here!" piped another.
Sixty feet ahead in the lane, five young boys played a game of catch with a ball. Near the arched entrance of the building on the right, a man stood holding a small girl's hand. Jewel's breath caught in her throat at the sight of the girl's berry-red hair, so like her own.
"Do you see—" Mrs. Fenton began.
"Becky!" Jewel gathered her skirts and ran.
Mr. Dunstan dropped her daughter's hand. He was forty or so, tall and solidly built, with blue eyes that could have been handsome if not set above a vulgar smile. He called out, "You'll be hurtin' yourself if you slip on them cobbles, Mrs. Libby."
Automatically Jewel slowed her steps, the immediate danger past. She drew close enough to take four-year-old Becky's hand. The small palm was clammy from the rent collector's grasp, and she had to fight the urge to wipe it against her skirt.
"It's just that she's not supposed to be out here without Mrs. Platt."
The corner of her eye caught movement. Mrs. Fenton, slipping into the building. That stung, but how could Jewel fault a woman who was the sole support for her aged mother? When these were the cheapest tenements within walking distance of the factory? When Mr. Dunstan wielded the power to toss a person out into the street?
"Why are you home early? Got one of those woman complaints?"
Jewel's cheeks burned.
Becky held out a pigeon feather, her face pinched with worry. "I found this for you, Mummy."
"It's lovely, Becky," Jewel said, grateful for the excuse not to reply to his coarse question.
That was the most maddening thing about being in the company of Mr. Dunstan—having to maintain the charade that he was just an ordinary decent person. To pretend not to notice the lust in his eyes, bad enough when directed toward her, but terrifying when fastened upon Becky.
Rumors added fuel to that fire. Such as the reason the Kents moved out last month, with their two young daughters. Mr. Kent's job at the foundry paid twice what Jewel earned at the factory, so they could afford that luxury.
"Good day, Mr. Dunstan," Jewel forced through a tight smile, while thinking, Norman would wipe that leer from your face! But two years ago he and another bricklayer had perished when scaffolding collapsed at the unfinished Castle Maltings building on Tower Street.
She dragged Becky by the hand, up the steps and through the doorway. Without knocking she turned the knob to number seven and entered. Mrs. Platt sat rocking a pair of sleeping infants. A tot squatted in a corner, picking at the straws of a broom. Another lay upon the filthy threadbare rug, playing with his own feet. Both ceased activity to send Jewel open-mouthed stares.
"Mrs. Platt!" Jewel said with a shaking voice. "Becky was outdoors!"
"Mrs. Libby, mind you'll wake the babies," the woman said through teeth as gray and crooked as old gravestones. "She whined to play with the older 'uns. She's too big for the babies. What was I to do?"
"What I pay you to do, that's what," Jewel said with less volume but more intensity. "Mr. Dunstan had her hand! God alone knows what would have happened if I hadn't come home early."
One infant stirred and whimpered. Mrs. Platt frowned above its downy head. "There you go again, harpin' on Mr. Dunstan, when he's the soul of mercy."
"Mercy? He pays too much attention to little girls."
"You should be grateful ... your poor fatherless baby." A bony hand moved from the infant's back to shake a crooked finger at Jewel. "If you'd been here in Mr. Archer's time, you'd appreciate Mr. Dunstan. Gin on his breath, even in the mornings! A hairsbreadth late with the rent, and you're out on your ear."
"I don't appreciate having my instructions ignored. Keep her with you, or I'll find someone else." As if she had not already tried, but Mrs. Platt did not have to know that.
Grimy landing windows provided the only illumination on the staircase, sticky and reeking of urine and sour spilled beer. Those forced to take the steps at night carried candles or lamps. Chest burning, Jewel hitched Becky up to her hip and kirtled her skirts with her left hand.
"I'm sorry, Mummy," the girl said halfway up the staircase.
"Don't speak now, Becky," Jewel said.
In the corridor, she set Becky on her feet and fished the key from her pocket. The door to number twenty-one opened to a tiny parlor that led to a smaller kitchen and still smaller bedroom. Washing up was done in the scullery, with water carried up from a tap in the piece of bare earth that served as the courtyard. Chamber pots saved nighttime trips to the privy, only yards away from the tap. Furnishings were sparse. Shortly after Norman's burial, Jewel was forced to sell off most of their secondhand furniture before moving herself and Becky from the small but cozy back-to-back house on Hurst Street.
Jewel locked the door behind her and turned to Becky. The tears brimming in the brown eyes, the trembling lips, broke her heart. Had hardship driven from her all memory of what it was like to be a child?
"Ah, Becky," she said, kneeling to pull her into her arms. She stroked her back as sobs wracked the small frame. "My dear, brave little girl. I love you so much."
"I don't like to go to Mrs. Platt's!" Becky sobbed against her shoulder.
"I know, I know." Jewel's voice thickened. "But Mummy must work."
She held her daughter until the sobbing ceased. Tempting as it was not to distress her any more, Jewel unwound her arms and moved her back a bit so that she could meet her eyes.
"Becky," she said, gently, but with a sternness born of fear. "You're old enough to remember that you're not to go outdoors without Mrs. Platt."
"But she never goes," the girl said through trembling lips. "And the boys are allowed."
The unfairness of it tugged at Jewel's heart. But safety came before fairness. "You must stay with Mrs. Platt."
She swallowed, dreading the answer to the next question. "How long was Mr. Dunstan there?"
"Not for a long time. He's not a bad man, Mummy. He said he wished he had a bright girl just like—"
Jewel groaned as a shiver snaked up her spine. "Just because someone smiles and speaks kindly doesn't make him good. Did you go anywhere with him?"
The brown eyes evaded Jewel's. "He said there were toys and peppermints in the cellar."
"But I said I wanted to stay outdoors and watch the boys play."
"God help us," Jewel moaned. She got to her feet. "Mummy has to go somewhere for a little while."
* * *
"Are ye sure ye trust me with her?" Mrs. Platt sniffed.
"Yes," Jewel said, adding mentally, What choice have I? "I'll try to return within the hour."
Fortunately, Mr. Dunstan no longer lurked outside. Jewel hurried up the lane. Cabbies avoided Halls Passage, but she would have walked the nine blocks anyway to save a shilling. On Great Russell Street, a well-dressed woman held a laughing small boy up before a toy display window.
"Oh, now it's a train you want for your birthday? What will it be tomorrow?"
Jewel envied not her finery but the unhurried enjoyment of her son, the taking for granted that there would be plenty of such moments.
Outside Great Russell Street police station, she brushed a wrinkle from her faded calico. If only she had taken time to change into her Sunday gown! Few in authority took seriously the poor, the illiterate, which was why her trip to this same station last month did no good.
Chin up, she ordered herself. Look them in the eyes. For Becky's sake, she must set aside her natural meekness, her feeling of inherent unworthiness, and present herself as a citizen deserving attention. At least she spoke proper English, having absorbed its importance when employed as a maid in the household of the headmaster of King Edward's School.
* * *
"As I said last time, Mrs. Libby," said Constable Whittington, "we cannot arrest a man who's done naught."
"He was holding her hand," Jewel argued, attempting to keep her tone steady.
"Not a crime, Mrs. Libby."
"He asked her to go to the cellar with him."
"Aye?" An eyebrow raised. "Did she go?"
"No. But—"
"Bright girl. And so he didn't forcefully carry her, did he?"
"He may have, if I hadn't arrived early."
"Mrs. Libby, if we arrested for may haves, we'd have to build more jails. Why do you not find another place to live?"
"I've tried to find one as cheap."
"What about your family?"
"I've no family, sir."
"None at all?"
She held back a sigh. Did the wheres and whys have any bearing upon the situation? Norman's childhood was spent in the Asylum for the Infant Poor on Summer Lane. She knew not the whereabouts of her father, whose drunken ways had contributed to the premature death of her mother when Jewel was twelve.
"None," she repeated.
"Then marry again," he advised in a fatherly, not familiar manner. "A smart-looking woman such as you should have no trouble finding a husband."
How many times had Jewel been so advised? She was no fool. She knew a husband would indeed take the load from her shoulders. Norman would have forgiven her. But the corset factory sewing room was shy of men, and those living in the tenement were either married, layabouts, or drunks.
Don't give up! said a little voice inside. "Sir," she said, "have you a daughter?"
The constable's weary gray eyes studied her.
Jewel held her breath, cautiously hopeful.
He sighed. "What's the name of the gent who owns your building?"
The hope wavered. "I-I don't know. We have dealings only with Mr. Dunstan."
"Well, I'll look him up in the town records, pay him an unofficial call. May be that other tenants have complained."
"Oh, thank—!"
He held up his hands. "Now, don't go thanking me. I can't guarantee he'll give a hedgehog's fleas about your problem. Some are like that ... don't want to be troubled by the folk who put bread on their tables."
But at least it was some action. Despite his protest, she thanked him again.
* * *
"Will you tell me a story, Mother?" Becky asked in bed that evening, after a supper of potatoes and cabbage, followed by baths in the kitchen using flannels.
Jewel smiled in the darkness. Times like this, with her daughter curled beside her, she could almost forget Mr. Dunstan even existed. Almost.
"Which story?" she asked.
"Um ... 'Silverhair and the Bears'?"
"Very well." Another gleaning from the educated household was the wealth of stories stored in Jewel's brain, for both the headmaster and his wife had read to their children.
"Once upon a time, a wee girl named Silverhair was told to stay indoors while her mother worked at the corset factory...."
Not the headmaster's version, but Jewel had to seize any teaching moment available. When her daughter drifted off to sleep, Jewel prayed, God help us. Ofttimes that was all she could manage before succumbing to fatigue, but this night she added, Please make the owner listen to the police.
She could hear Becky's soft snoring and the scurrying of rodent feet in the attic. An infant wailed from the flat below. Somewhere down the corridor, a man began shouting. His words were muffled; the anger behind them was not.
And please ... She swallowed saltiness as her eyes brimmed. Help us have better lives one day.
* * *
The following morning, she tucked her handkerchiefwrapped jam sandwich into an apron pocket and delivered a still-sleepy Becky to Mrs. Platt with a reminder to both that she was to stay indoors. And again, for ten hours she had to struggle to concentrate on the needle, so deep were her misgivings.
What if Mr. Dunstan is the owner's brother or some other relation? What if we're forced to leave?
Her fears were justified that evening, unhappily so, when she spotted Mr. Dunstan outside the factory.
"Oh dear," she said to Mrs. Fenton.
"I forgot my handkerchief," Mrs. Fenton said, turning back for the door.
Jewel attempted to hurry past him, lose him in the press of workers, but he fell in step beside her.
"There's been a misunderstanding, Mrs. Libby," he said. "I didn't mean to frighten you over your little girl."
Walking faster did no good. His legs were longer, and he was not even breathing heavily. "I'm truly sorry ..."
Jewel swallowed a sob.
"... so I need you to speak with Mr. Brown."
She did not ask who this Mr. Brown was, for she had no word to spare for Mr. Dunstan. Besides, who could he be but the owner of the blocks of flats?
"He stays late in his office. I need you to come with me ... say you've made a mistake."
"No," she said tightly.
"Please," he cajoled with voice breaking. "I need my job."
She continued on, teeth clenched.
"I'll ... cut your next month's rent by half, and cover the rest myself."
Jewel halted in her tracks, almost did not recognize her own voice for all the rage it held. "My daughter is not for sale!"
"Do you need help, Mrs. Libby?" came a voice from behind.
Jewel turned a burning face to Mr. Fowler and his assistant, Mr. Evans. "This man—"
But when she looked over her shoulder, Mr. Dunstan was making tracks.
"Coward." Mr. Fowler spat on the pavement.
The men turned back for the factory. Mrs. Fenton called out to her a moment later. Jewel waited, still sick at heart, but grateful.
"You sent Mr. Fowler out?" she asked.
"It was the only thing I knew to do."
Jewel squeezed her arm.
"Do you suppose he's been sacked?" Mrs. Fenton asked.
"I think so."
* * *
Mrs. Platt's aggrieved expression confirmed it was true when Jewel arrived to retrieve Becky. "Did ye hear?" she said, spotted hands worrying her frayed collar. "Mr. Dunstan's been sacked!"
Ironing her face of any expression, Jewel took Becky's hand. Thank you, Father!
Mrs. Platt's eyes narrowed. "Did you have aught to do with this?"
Jewel still needed her to tend Becky. Gently, she said, "I'm sorry you're displeased."
"You'll be, too, when they replace him with a heartless sot like Mr. Archer."
Jewel's lips tightened. As long as he leaves Becky be, I don't care if he has a walnut for a heart.

A Late Valentines
I wish I could say that this was the outfit I wore for my Valentines date, but unfortunately not.
I didn't get to spend valentines with my boyfriend as I was working a 10 1/2 hour shift! Luckily I'm not a big fan of Valentines day, personally I see as just a day for all the rubbish boyfriends to buy cheap tat to try and prove their failing love. If I want a guy to romance me I don't want him to do it because he was told to!
Still, I decided to buy us the 2 for £20 meal deal from Marks and Spencers for when I got home, Ash had been wanting to eat steak for a while and it was such a good deal I couldn't resist!
Luckily I went in early, things like this always sell out. When I passed the M&S later on there was a massive queue of cars coming out of the entrance. I definitely made the right move to go early!
Unfortunately the Wetherspoons I work in also had a Valentines deal on. I knew it would be busy but I didn't actually realise how busy we would be.
It was absolute mayhem all night. Luckily we had one extra staff member as a girl didn't realise her shift had been changed and turned up. She regretted it soon enough.
To put this all in perspective for you, a £300 hour is super busy for us, as in the bar will be full (sometimes 2 or 3 people deep) and we'll be so rushed off our feet we don't have time to wash any glasses, tidy up the bar or floor, or generally do anything other than serve.
We managed a £340 hour JUST ON FOOD. It was horrible. We ran out of the Steaks, a curry, cheesecake and all but our red wine from the deal around 7pm. This left 3 hours of serving (including a booking for 18 people) with a very limited menu. The managers did everything they could to help the irate customers, (although most were still in good spirits) and we did somehow manage to keep serving until 10.
Matters weren't helped when customers kept moving seats and not telling us where so that we didn't know where the meals were going. Near the end of the night a gentleman came and told us he was moving tables, we about nearly hugged the guy right then and there! He was definitely the favourite customer of the evening, I kinda wish we could have given him free dessert or coffee or something! (But that's out of my control)
I was so knackered when I home that I actually found it hard to eat this delicious menu that Ash cooked in time for my arrival. Some how I managed it though and it really was superb!
For starters I know Ash loves his salmon, so I managed to find these strange salmon things in the offer. Apparently they were a pea, spinach and wasabi mousse topped with Creme Fraiche and smoked salmon pieces. I was a bit dubious about them, mainly because I had no idea what they could taste like, but oh wow we're they good. Extremely fishy and creamy. Absolutely delicious! Unfortunately I was struggling in my tired state and gave my last couple of mouthfuls to Ash.
For the mains we had steak, I think the starter had woken me up a bit my this point (first thing I'd eaten for quite a while) and so was able to manage this course. Ash has been complaining for so long about having steak so it had to be done! I got these Rump Steaks with Peppercorn Sauce and a side of Gastropub Chunky Chips. First off, the chips were fantastically chunky. Light and fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside! Perfect! The steaks were also delicious! Ash cooked them to perfection! They were so tender and moist, it's actually making my mouth water thinking about them!
Unfortunately I did learn that I dislike Peppercorn sauce. It's just far too peppery! I"m not a big fan of pepper anyway (I know, what did I expect?!), but this was just horrible! I ended up scraping it off my meat so that I could taste it! It is a very overpowering sauce. However I don't believe that was anything to do with M&S, I doubt I'd like any kind of peppercorn sauce!
For pudding I bought us these Milk Chocolate and Praline Pyramids. Chocolate mousse with a blob of praline cream in the middle, sat on a praline wafer base and topped with some Dark chocolate.
We didn't actually eat these until the day after, but they were so yummy (although a little sickly)! It was delicious! Wonderfully smooth and chocolately, just what I needed!
I still haven't even drunk my wine (I chose Petit Chablis as it was the most expensive wine that wasn't a red) or eaten the little heart shape chocolates that came with the deal as well! I look forward to those.
Straight after our meal I fell asleep. I was so tired there was no keeping me up.
We decided that we hadn't really seen much of each other and so yesterday decided to go on a nice little date together. We had a lovely meal at a local Harvester and spent some quality couple time together. It really was very nice.
I wore my new cape, Ash's favourite dress to see me in and even did my nails all valentinesy!
Today I have another 12 hours of work, tomorrow I have an even longer shift! At least I have my pretty nails to keep me happy…
This really is getting too tiring, I just want to sew!!
Hopefully I will be able to update again soon!
Until next time!

In the past, parents-to-be concerned with the genetic state of their gestating offspring had to test both the mother's and father's blood in order to determine what traits the child would likely inherit. But this method of genetic testing often leads to some socially awkward situations, as it's estimated that the incidence of "non paternity" is anywhere from 3 to 10% of babies; in other words, the guy who thought he was the father isn't actually the father (which explains why there are so many paternity episodes of Maury Povich). So, what to do? How about just ignore the man entirely?
Scientists at Stanford University have figured out a way to test for genetic defects by focusing entirely on the mother's DNA and inferring what traits the baby will inherit. Here's how it works, in terms as laymen as this non-scientist can put it: a woman's genome sequence can be determined by examining her red blood cells. Her future child's genome sequence is present in her plasma cells. And, obviously, Dad's DNA is in Dad's blood. In order to determine what's going on in the baby's genes without peeking at Dad's, scientists compared the woman's genome to her plasma. Genes that the baby would inherit from the mother were present in excess in plasma cells, and genes that the baby would likely inherit from the father were present in the plasma cells but not present in the mother's red blood cells. A less complicated way to tell if a pregnancy will survive! Hooray!
Not so fast. Unsurprisingly, there are some pretty serious ethical issues when it comes to fetal genetic testing. Critics worry that minimally invasive early pregnancy testing could lead to abortions for reasons that many would consider suspect — an extreme example: the child won't be tall enough, or the child will have the wrong color eyes (or gender, or a disability with wildly varying severity like Downs). But scientists say that this could be an empowering tool for parents-to-be, allowing them to determine early in pregnancy whether or not their baby will have a fatal genetic disorder and giving them the freedom to choose abortion if they'd prefer to not carry a nonviable pregnancy into the third trimester. Finding out sooner that a tragedy is imminent gives parents more options, makes a difficult decision less physically traumatic on the mother, and could theoretically help minimize emotional trauma for family members excited for the child's birth. On a less morbid note, genetic testing like this can help doctors detect a myriad of disorders, some of which can be treated more effectively with early detection.
Unfortunately, scientists haven't yet developed a test to accurately determine whether your baby will grow up to be the type of person who doesn't give up her seat to old people on the subway, or if your baby will one day be rude to wait staff. The prenatal jerk test is years, if not generations away.

Let $M$ be a manifold equipped with a pair of surjective submersions $N_1 \stackrel{p_1}{\leftarrow} M \stackrel{p_2}{\rightarrow} N_2$ where $dim N_1 = dim N_2 = n$. Then we can find, for any point $m\in M$, a chart $U_1$ around $p_1(m)$ and a local section $s\colon U_1 \to M$ of $p_1$ such that $s(p_1(m)) = m$ and $s(U_1)$ is transverse to the fibres of $p_2$. In thinking about this we can clearly reduce to the case $N_1 = N_2 = \mathbb{R}^n$. We can even restrict attention to $M = \mathbb{R}^m$, and then it becomes a problem of linear algebra, namely finding a basis on $\mathbb{R}^m$ for which the submersions are both projections onto $n$ coordinates (we already know this separately).
I suspect that for infinite-dimensional vector spaces, and Frechet spaces in particular (really anything above Hilbert spaces in the usual hierarchy) this sort of result will not hold, and so for Frechet manifolds one cannot construct the analogous local section.
In more detail, I'm fairly sure that given a diagram of Frechet spaces
$$V_1 \stackrel{pr_1}{\leftarrow} V_1 \times F_1 \simeq W_1 \simeq V_2 \times F_2 \stackrel{pr_1}{\to} V_2$$
where $V_1$ is known to be isomorphic to $V_2$, one cannot in general find a (nonlinear?) map $F\colon V_1 \to V_2\times F_2$ (which is a section, and passes through the origin) such that $pr_1\circ F\colon V_1 \to V_2$ is
injective an isomorphism. However, I'd like to see a counterexample (or, if I'm wrong, a proof that we can do it!). (EDIT: the map might need be be non-linear in this case because the definition of submersions doesn't use tangent spaces like in the finite-dimensional case. But linear would be good.)
VERSION 2: well it turns out that I have, in addition to the $V_i$s being isomorphic, I have $F_1$ isomorphic to $F_2$. Kudos to Andrew for guessing this would be the case for the application I have in mind.

Brown, Hallie Q.
Sarah E. Miller was born in Winchester, Virginia. She was one of six children. In 1843 the family moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She attended the day school and latter Avery College. When she was sixteen years of age her father, Jefferson Miller, died. Sarah was compelled to stop school and became a teacher.
In 1858 she was united in marriage to a promising young minister, Benjamin Tucker Tanner who later became a successful pastor, Editor of the Christian Recorder, The Church Review and finally a Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. For some years they lived in the cities of his pastorate and in 1872 made a permanent home in Philadelphia remaining there till death.
Mrs. Tanner was the mother of nine children, two of whom died in infancy. She was in the truest sense of the term a home-maker, devoting her whole time to the welfare of her family. The residence, 2908 Diamond Street, Philadelphia, was for over a quarter of a century a haven of rest to the traveler and a solace to the family. She was tutelar angel of inspiration and light to that hearth-stone. Her cheerful, unselfish spirit was manifest at all times. Her high ideals, her lofty concept of life, her refined and elegant manner made lasting impression upon all who came within her charmed circle.
She also possessed great business ability which exceeded that of her learned husband and he, realizing this, relinquished the family finances to her which she so ably managed, and demonstrated her all-around domestic capacities.
She devoted herself almost exclusively to her domestic affairs.
Her one sole exception was the church to which her consecrated service was unreservedly given. As a teacher in the Sabbath School she taught many little lips to lisp the name of the Redeemer of the world.
In the church was the Parent Mite Missionary Society, in which she held offices for years, first as president and then as treasurer. Her children remember the quarterly occasion which called their mother to the missionary meetings. Such outings were events of great moment in the family history.
When her children were grown she felt that she could devote more time to the cause of missions and travel in its interest. Accordingly she redoubled her efforts. As the years sped by she gave her whole time and full energy to the work. Like the Psalmist, she could say, "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." With her husband, Bishop B. T. Tanner, she traveled extensively carrying the gospel to missions throughout the country to the women who sat in darkness, thus she claimed "His promised blessing the brightening little while."
She lived to see her children reach manhood and womanhood. Lived to see three of them attain more than ordinary distinction. Her eldest daughter, Dr. Halle Tanner Johnson, became a physician; Reverend Carl Tanner a minister of his mother's church and her eldest son, famous on two continents, Henry O. Tanner, the gifted artist.
Her children rise up and call her blessed.

Sherman Hemsley, whose cantankerous George Jefferson cracked up millions of faithful TV viewers each week, first going toe-to-toe with Archie Bunker on All in the Family and then sparring with his beloved Weezie on The Jeffersons, has died.
The sad news was confirmed by police in El Paso, Texas, where Hemsley lived while not working in Los Angeles. No immediate word on cause of death.
The Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor was 74.
U.S. & World
A Philadelphia native, Hemsley was in the Broadway play Purlie when he scored the role of noisome neighbor George Jefferson, a black-empowered character strong enough to serve as foil to Carroll O'Connor's bigoted Archie Bunker on All in the Family. The characters of George and wife Louise or "Weezie" (played by the late Isabel Sanford) proved so popular after being introduced in 1973 that they were given their own spinoff, The Jeffersons, which freatured the seminal "Movin' On Up" theme song and wound up running a decade on CBS, from 1975-85.
Hemsley remained a fixture on TV for the next two decades, most notably as Deacon Earnest Fry on NBC's hit sitcom Amen, as well as guest turns on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Love Boat, Family Matters, Lois and Clark, Family Guy, and Sister, Sister. He also voiced B.P. Richfield on ABC's animated prime-time Dinosarus.
Still, Hemsley never was quite able to shake the Jefferson persona, popping up as his iconic TV alter ego in TV ads for Old Navy, Dennys and Nick at Nite, and reprising the role last year in an episode of Tyler Perry's House of Payne.
Hemsley's death follows those of TV wife Sanford, who died in 2004, and Mike Evans, who played their son Lionel and died in 2006. Hemsley's favorite "honky" target Franklin Covers, who played Tom Willis, the head of the next-door interracial family, also died in 2006; while another neighbor in the deluxe apartment in the sky, Paul Benedict (aka Harry Bentley), passed away in 2008.
Hemsley himself never married and had no children.
