The final research paper will synthesize theoretical frameworks and the impact of ethics and law on the healthcare industry. Also, this paper will focus on the historical aspect of medical experimentation and research and the involvement of marginalized populations and their ethical implications for the healthcare industry. For example, you can select a medical experiment, such as the Nazi War Crimes, the Eugenics Project, or the Mississippi Appendectomy and discuss the lack of IRB approval or signed consent. History has demonstrated that there have been many atrocities perpetuated on marginalized individuals in the medical community. Your research should focus on the impact that untoward events have had on health outcomes. You CANNOT write your research paper solely on the Tuskegee Experiment, you may however reference the Tuskegee Experiment. Your research should demonstrate a comprehensive view of law and ethics in the healthcare industry.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com March 22, 2019, 2:59 am ad1c9bdddf

Ethics And Law On The Healthcare Industry
1)Theoretical Frameworks of Ethics
/In order to use the best legal and ethical practices that apply to healthcare research programs, the practitioner must be familiar with the agreement guidelines that specify the precise way in which such a program must be outlined, in order to be in compliance with
federal mandates. An important part of the guidelines is to define who the stakeholders are, which mean those who will benefit most
from the results of the program's experimental data and results. One of those stakeholders is the group of human patients or research subjects involved. Their rights to maintain their health and ability to consent must be maintained, through "safeguards are in place to protect human subjects and, where appropriate, what ethical (e.g., institutional review board) or administrative (e.g., paperwork reduction)
approvals" that have to be obtained.
"Agreements. Agreements summarize the procedures and clarify roles and responsibilities among those who will execute the evaluation
plan (6,12). Agreements describe how the evaluation plan will be implemented by using available resources (e.g., money, personnel,
time, and information) (36,37). Agreements also state what safeguards are in place to protect human subjects and, where appropriate,
what ethical (e.g., institutional review board) or administrative (e.g., paperwork reduction) approvals have been obtained (59,60).
Elements of an agreement include statements concerning the intended purpose, users, uses, questions, and methods, as well as a
summary of the deliverables, time line, and budget. The agreement can include all engaged stakeholders but, at a minimum, it must
involve the primary users, any providers of financial or in-kind resources, and those persons who will conduct the evaluation and
facilitate its use and dissemination. The formality of an agreement might vary depending on existing stakeholder relationships. An
agreement might be a legal contract, a detailed protocol, or a memorandum of understanding.
Creating an explicit agreement verifies the mutual understanding needed for a successful evaluation. It also provides a basis for
modifying or renegotiating procedures if necessary.
Various activities reflect the requirement to focus the evaluation design Both supporters and skeptics of the program could
be consulted to ensure that the proposed evaluation questions are politically viable (i.e., responsive to the varied positions of
interest groups). A menu of potential evaluation uses appropriate for the program's stage of development and context could be
circulated among stakeholders to determine which is most compelling. Interviews could be held with specific intended users to better
understand their information needs and time line for action. Resource requirements could be reduced when users are willing to employ
more timely but less precise evaluation methods."

2)The Impact of Ethics on the Healthcare Industry
"Five Top Ethical Issues in Healthcare
When members of Congress and the president recently failed to come to terms that would avoid the sequester, many
people expressed concern over how the resulting budget cuts will affect medical research and other aspects of healthcare. Some
questioned the ethics of an action that could have such a potentially devastating effect on healthcare in the future.
But ethical issues in healthcare are common. Nearly every decision that's made has ethical implications--for patients, for providers
and for healthcare leaders.
Which issues impact hospital administrators and clinical leaders the most? Healthcare Briefings spoke to a panel of experts to get
their view of the top ethical challenges in healthcare that are facing today's leaders:
1. Balancing care quality and efficiency
Many of the challenges facing the healthcare system in the future will be related to the overall challenge of balancing quality and
safety with efficiency, said Cynda Hylton Rushton PhD, RN, the new Anne and George L. Bunting Professor of Clinical Ethics at Johns
Hopkins University. "It raises a real question about whether the right values are driving our focus in our healthcare system," she said. "Should
efficiency be the driver?"
2. Improving access to care
Although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was mostly left untouched by the sequester, the ongoing issue of providing everyone with
access to basic medical care remains a concern.
Philip Rosoff, MD, director of clinical ethics for Duke Hospital and Duke University School of Medicine, sees this lack of access as
the country's biggest ethical issue.
"It's shameful," he said. "All the other stuff pales in comparison."
Gerard Magill, PhD, professor with the Center for Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University, notes that there are still questions
about the implementation of the healthcare reform law, as well as Medicaid expansion efforts in the states. Most ethicists believe
that access to basic care is a hallmark of a civilized society, he said, and if many people still do not have access, "that is a
3. Building and sustaining the healthcare workforce of the future
As the baby boomer generation continues to age, more healthcare professionals will be needed to take care of this population--to
manage chronic illnesses, coordinate care and provide many other services. But will there be enough competent, compassionate people
who not only enter the healthcare workforce but remain in it to provide that care?
Despite a recent influx of younger people into the nursing profession, for instance, many experts are forecasting a resurgence of the
nursing shortage by the end of this decade--just when more nurses will be needed.
"This is not just a supply issue," said Rushton. "This is a sustainability issue. And one of the real threats to keeping the people
we train in practice is having an ethical practice environment where they can actually practice with integrity, and where they are
not constantly barraged with morally distressing situations that burn them out."
4. Addressing end-of-life issues

The last day of July already!
Time is just flying by, but I cant deny that its been a good month for me.
Especially in terms of blogging as I've been doing it daily this month, so I've been able to share much more than usual. I've gained some new followers but also found some really cool new blogs. Most importantly I've been enjoying it.
Also I'm really looking forward to August, I feel like its going to be a good month!
I'm gonna keep this post short as I am pretty worn out from painting for about 5 hours today and I baked cupcakes. 🙂
Thanks for reading and see you in August!

The Book Thief
I have my rules about reading and in reading The Book Thief, I broke one of them. I don't usually read YA books and it's likely that as a woman of a certain vintage, vampires, werewolves and teenage dystopias just don't appeal to me. Factor in that my time is limited to read the good adult books that are out there and I don't often pick up a YA novel.
A confession: another reading rule I believe in, is that no movie ever compares favourably with the book. It can be a wonderful film but the experience is never as good. I stumbled onto The Book Thief by seeing the trailer for its movie on tv. It hooked me like a clever book trailer so I put a hold in at the local library.
I have to say I loved Markus Zusak's characters. The setting is Molching, a small town near Dachau, the Nazi death camp. Death is the narrator and as the story unfolds, he becomes more and more sympathetic. Liesle Memeniger is the protagonist, an 11 year-old girl who is sent to live with foster parents for safety. She never sees her mother again. Her foster father is a delightful man who is an accordianst, not the best musician but because he plays from the heart as he does everything, his playing is popular. Liesle doesn't find her foster mother sympathetic until she comes to realize the softness beneath her hard exterior. And then there is Rudy, the boy her age who becomes her best friend. There is an innocent attraction that she never acknowledges and that is one of her great regrets.
For ordinary Germans in WW11, there were many hardships. This is one of the few books that shows that the war killed and starved the common German people. They were abused by the Nazis, too. There is even a Jewish runaway who is hidden by Liesle's new family. Markus Zusak's book is sad and yet affirms the strength of the human spirit. There is hatred and horror in the world but there are good, resilient people, too.
The Book Thief was first published in 2005. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. If you know a young person who hasn't read it yet, it would make a great gift.

Home > Notebook Reviews > Lenovo IdeaPad Y580
What's hot: Excellent list of high end features for a relatively low price. Great for gaming performance.
What's not: Visually boring, not particularly thin or light.
Reviewed September 16, 2012 by Lisa Gade, Editor
in Chief (twitter: @lisagade)
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 is one of the best values among 15.6" multimedia and gaming notebooks. Though it's got as much style as grandpa's galoshes, the laptop is well made with quality internals that translate into quick performance and reliability. And the backlit AccuType keyboard? Superb. The 1080p display? Very good.
The Y580 starts around $850, and all models have serious graphics power courtesy of switchable Intel HD 4000 and 2GB NVidia GeForce GTX660M graphics. That's the same GPU you'll find on more expensive gaming notebooks, and it certainly adds to the Y580's many charms. While the base model starts with an Ivy Bridge third generation Intel Core i5 CPU, our $1,200 configuration has the Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz quad core, 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM, a 1TB 5400 RPM hard drive (we'd opt for the faster but smaller 7200 RPM 500 gig selection and save $100) and a 32 gig SSD. It comes with the 1080p gloss display (the base model has a 1366 x 768 panel), a Blu-ray drive, a 720p webcam, Intel WiFi with WiDi and Bluetooth. The machine has a metal casing. Nice stuff.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 weighs 6.15 pounds and is 1.4 inches thick. Clearly, we're not in the high fashion slim portable arena with the more expensive HP Envy 15 and 15" MacBook Pro. But it's still reasonably portable while being powerful enough to act as your main machine no matter how demanding the task. The 6 cell, 72 Wh battery is good for 5 hours, which is remarkable for a machine with these specs (use Intel HD 4000 graphics and set your display brightness down to 40% to get better battery life).
The stereo JBL speakers with Dolby Home Theater v4 audio deliver full and pleasing sound with plenty of volume. The display's viewing angles are IPS-like (Lenovo doesn't state if this is an IPS display but it certainly looks it). Text is sharp and colors are fairly rich. It's a great machine for watching streaming video and Blu-ray movies, and it's an excellent gamer. We'll have a separate gaming demo video so you can see the Y580 in action with some of today's top titles.
The IdeaPad Y580 has an excellent backllit AccuType keyboard.
It's easy to access the internals should you wish to upgrade RAM, the hard drive or wireless card. The machine has two RAM slots. Unlike style-focused machines like the Envy 15, the battery is removable on the Y580.

Benchmark Comparison Table
Though it's not a high style product, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 is most definitely a performance machine that offers a great deal of performance and quality hardware for the money. From the good 1080p IPS display to the wicked performance in gaming and graphics/video editing apps, it's hard to go wrong with the Y580. It's got enough power to remain useful for several years, and we like the excellent keyboard and JBL speakers as well. Recommended.

A man who believed he had supernatural sexual powers killed his partner's best friend after encouraging her to sleep with him to exorcise her demons.
David Maxwell Shepherd, 38, was jailed for 19 years after admitting to murdering Malissa Mayfield at her Bossley Park home, in Sydney's south-west, in June 2006.
Ms Mayfield, 29, died in hospital four days after being throttled in her home as her two young daughters lay sleeping just metres away.
The bizarre details of the murder were made public for the first time today, with the NSW Supreme Court lifting a suppression order on the case following a guilty plea by Shepherd's de facto wife, Angela Wells.
Wells was due to stand trial for murder today, but prosecutors accepted a guilty plea to the lesser charge of being an accessary after the fact.
Wearing a purple shirt, with her short brown hair in a neat ponytail, the 29-year-old showed no emotion as she stood and quietly responded "guilty, your honour'' to knowingly assisting Shepherd after Ms Mayfield's murder.
Wells was a longtime friend of Ms Mayfield, and godmother to her youngest daughter.
Shepherd met Ms Mayfield through Wells, and the three of them bonded over a shared interest in the supernatural.
''(Shepherd) told the deceased that he had psychic powers and that he could remove her bad demons by sleeping with her,'' Justice Peter Hidden said when sentencing Shepherd in December.
"Ms Wells had also told her that the offender could give her pleasure, and that if she had sex with him all the evil spirits would go.''
Shepherd and Ms Mayfield slept together a few times, but Justice Hidden said she soon became afraid of the "hysteria'' of his beliefs and tried to sever contact.
''(Shepherd) would phone the deceased and say to her such things as 'Don't go to work, you're going to get killed' and 'Something bad's going to happen','' the judge said.
Shepherd told police he heard voices, including one named Johnny, which Wells also heard.
He and Ms Mayfield became close, and Shepherd said he confided in her that his estranged wife, who was not named, had previously accused him of sexually interfering with their teenage daughter.
Shepherd said Ms Mayfield then began blackmailing him with the information, and Wells urged him to "sort her out''.
''(Ms Wells)... said that Johnny had told her that both the deceased and her daughter had to be raped and murdered... or they would send more demons to him,'' Justice Hidden said.
Justice Hidden said the circumstances involved "some bizarre interest in the supernatural'' but he could make "no firm finding about why (Shepherd) went to the deceased's house that morning, or about what it was which triggered his attack upon her''.
Wells is accused only of assisting Shepherd after the attack, with the prosecution today withdrawing the murder charge against her.
Shepherd was jailed for at least 15 years, with his maximum 20-year term due to expire in 2025.
Barrister John Doris, acting for Wells, said he would push for a non-custodial sentence, and requested she undergo a psychiatric assessment.
Justice Michael Grove continued her bail to face a sentencing hearing in the same court on February 22.

Moly Warning
Moly polishing/coating barrels is basically applying molybdenum dry film lubricant onto the barrel's inner surfaces. I am not really sure about the benefits of such application even though theoretically it could decrease friction and wear between the barrel and the projectile. With real steel, barrel pitting is indeed a problem with chromium molybdenum steel barrels. Stainless steel barrels do not seem to be affected, but frequent cleaning is recommended. Firing only moly coated bullets is required as well, but I don't think we need to worry about that for airsoft with the plastic rounds and low temperature exhausts. The potential benefits might be worth exploring for the adventurous types though. Tongue
11 March 2004
By Ron Gaitten
* Moly destroys your barrel by attracting and trapping water in the barrel causing severe pitting.
* Even if you live in a dry climate, temperature changes experienced during the hunting season (gun inside warm house - gun outside in the cold) causes the metal to sweat.
* My barrel was destroyed by pitting after only 154 rounds 40 of which were moly coated (fail safe). I had cleaned every 10-20 rounds with Hoppes9 and Shooters Choice, both good cleaners, with the patch and brush method. It didn't get it out.
* Moly is EXTREMELY hard to get out. Plug the barrel and soak with Kroil overnight. Then scrub with a mix of JB-Bore Compound and Kroil for 5-20 short stroke technique passes. USE A BORE GUIDE, quality rod and jag, and be careful around the crown (don't bang the heck out of it). Finish with a solvent of choice and good oil. Hoppes9 or Shooters Choice mops out the JB well. If you choose, you can use something a little stronger like Montana Extreme for a final solvent pass. Extreme copper solvents like Sweets 7.62 although are great at removing copper are probably not necessary with this cleaning process as the copper should have been mechanically removed by the JB/Kroil mix.
* A moly conditioned barrel will not shoot Std. copper bullets accurately (relative term).
* Stainless barrels are effeted too.
* This does not apply to "Lubalox" (found on Win. ballistic tip) or the Barnes coatings. However, I still advise caution.

Parents, forget sending Junior out to milk the cows and weed-eat ditch banks during summer break. Instead, hand him a Psion, your county Extension agent's phone number and then point him towards a cotton field.
Jokingly, Mike Bryant says his son, Lee, "has a mean daddy! I thought this was not only a way to teach him about cotton physiology, but also to help with the family farm. He really has come through with this big-time."
The "this" Bryant is referring to is CotMan, a plant-mapping program developed by researchers in Arkansas. Lee has been running the program for three years now. He started when he was only 13.
"Lee's daddy was interested in running the CotMan program and Lee was home for the summer. So, Lee got the job," says Extension agent April Fisher, who works out of the Pine Bluff (Jefferson County) office.
For the first summer, with Arkansas Extension cotton specialist Bill Robertson's help, Fisher worked with Lee, showing him how the program works. He learned how to use the Psion (the hand-held computer carried through fields) and how to do the simple stand counts and went from there.
"Lee had no real background in cotton, which was fine. He's a smart kid, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to run CotMan. The first summer, pretty much every week, I went in and mapped plants with him. I guess it was like tutoring for a couple of hours," says Fisher.
"It wasn't too hard, even at the beginning. By the second year I was pretty proficient at it," says Lee.
The Bryant farm is about 750 acres of cotton, 550 acres of soybeans and 550 acres of rice a few miles south of Pine Bluff. Lee is a fourth generation farmer working land that has been in the family since 1928.
"Lee does all the data collecting and then brings me the figures and charts. We go over those together and make decisions on what course to take," says Mike.
For that much acreage, and working alone, it takes Lee between half a day and a full day to gather needed data. One of the reasons it doesn't take longer is most of the Bryant fields are in blocks which cuts down travel.
Cotton is very systematic in the manner it grows. CotMan takes advantage of that fact. Still, for someone new to the physiology of the plant — much less a 13-year-old — it may seem overwhelming.
During the first part of the growing season, CotMan requires square map data (plant mapping). As first bloom appears, concerns switch to node above white flower (NAWF).
Field collected data is downloaded into a desktop computer. Crunched data is then available to farmers for decision-making.
"CotMan is a shortening of the words 'cotton management.' It's a tool used to help manage cotton plants. The main thing about the program is it helps identify stress. The early-season portion of the program is called SquareMan. The later portion is BollMan," says Robertson.
The two questions most people have early in the year are: are my plants growing at the proper rate and how is square retention looking?
CotMan addresses both of those questions. By going through and monitoring the rate new nodes are developing, the growth rate becomes apparent. If the growth rate is slower than what is normal, that generally means the plants are stressed. Farmers need to get in the field and identify the source of that stress.
"If nodes are developing at a rate faster than we'd expect, there's something else going on that we need to take care of. There are good and bad stresses. Boll load is a good stress. Moisture — too much or too little — aphids and spider mites are bad stresses.
"There are all kinds of variables. If plant bugs knock bolls off the plant, the plant will actually grow too fast.
"It's like a car running off the road. If you catch it quick enough, you can right the car and keep on going. Don't catch it quick enough and you end up in the ditch. That can be disastrous," says Robertson.
Fisher says CotMan will pick things up faster than the eye or a scout will. It gives farmers the ability to pick up square shed very quickly.
When using CotMan, there are four field sites to look at. This isn't something you do from inside the truck. It takes footsteps, says Robertson.
The NAWF gives a good indication of what some of the stresses are. That's particularly true of the good stress of boll load.
"We want the NAWF to progress at a given rate to NAWF 5. If the plant drops to 5 too fast, that indicates we have too much stress. Oftentimes that means a lack of water," says Robertson.
If a lack of water is the case, the last thing farmers want to do is put out additional foliar feed.
Conversely, if the NAWF line is running too flat, that means the boll load isn't a drain on the plant. If NAWF lines are running flat, the plants are able to put a new node on at the same rate flowers are moving up the plant.
"That tells us the boll load is small and the plant isn't having enough demand put on it. We can use NAWF numbers to make decisions on foliar feed or additional soil applied nitrogen. That helps push the plant and alleviates problems later on with a plant that's too green and difficult to defoliate at the end of the season," says Robertson.
The main objective with NAWF is to identify the last effective boll population.
"You're finding the last money boll. When NAWF 5 arrives, the white flowers represent the last bolls that contribute significantly to yield and profit. The bolls that come along after that are smaller and usually of lesser quality," says Robertson.
When the last money bolls are identified, fields start accumulating heat units. When a clean field acquires 350 heat units, growers can terminate insecticide applications for three fruit feeders: budworms, bollworms and boll weevils. Fields still need additional protection and vigilance against leaf feeders like armyworms and loopers.
"We've got research ongoing to better identify when we can terminate irrigation. I don't think that's going to be as cut-and-dried as with insecticide termination.
"One criteria to use in timing defoliation is 850 heat units beyond NAWF 5. I won't defoliate based on just one thing, but I do like to see heat units beyond cut-out, percent open boll, node above cracked boll, and I also like to boll-slice. Two of those telling me it's time is usually enough," says Robertson.
In Arkansas, the thing that brings most people into the program is the insecticide termination. "That part is extremely valuable for farmers. With the expense of farming, everyone wants to know when spraying can be terminated. The longer you go, the more expensive the spraying gets because typically you're not just treating a bollworm population but budworms too. Expense for spraying can run between $10 and $15 per acre," says Fisher.
At one time, area farmers spraying during the first week of September wasn't uncommon at all, says Fisher. "This has helped changed that and kept a lot more money in farmers' pockets."
The CotMan program is free. To get a copy, just go to an Arkansas county Extension office. Agents will also go out and help set farmers up, show them how to use the program.
Saving money at the end of the season is the draw to getting hooked into this program. But when farmers start using SquareMan, they see how the early-season component can make money in the end, says Fisher.
Back to Lee. "He picked this up quickly and has done a great job with it. He came into this cold but overcame that," says Fisher.
If parents want to teach their kids on a bunch of different levels, they could do worse than to make CotMan one of their chores. Computers, botany, and decision-making all figure in the mix.
There is a time factor and learning curve, says Robertson. "I think a team of two can probably get through 100 fields in a week. As far as the learning curve, collecting data is pretty simple. Interpreting output is what takes a little while. Traditionally, the first year is for getting used to the program — the light bulb hasn't quite come on. The second year you see things coming together and the light bulb comes on. By the third year, farmers are really cooking with this and know what to use it for and how it translates to their operation. That may seem like a long time, but truly, the benefits are evident from year one."

Ancestors in the Records:
First published in the Sept/Oct issue of The Genealogical Helper
After discovering a place and date of birth for my Swedish great-great-great-grandmother, I eagerly ordered the microfilm containing parish records for this town to my local family history center. When the film arrived, I put the microfilm on the reader and settled in, ready for an afternoon of discovery. Instead, I encountered an afternoon of frustration. I couldn't read the words, didn't recognize the place names, and in general, felt disoriented.
When beginning research on a family in a new foreign place, many people have experiences similar to mine. However, it doesn't have to be like this. With a little preparation, foreign research can get off to a smoother start.
An unfamiliar foreign language can at first seem like a nearly insurmountable barrier to tracing your family. There's no doubt that looking at a record and having no idea what it says is intimidating! However, knowledge of only a few basic words will make many genealogical records accessible. This is particularly true in the case of parish records, which are by far the most widely used source for tracing families in Europe. Luckily for those working with a new language, parish records usually rely on a minimal amount of words to convey their information.
Many parish records are written in a table format, making the needed information easy to find. Even those written out in paragraph form, often follow the same basic wording in every entry. Although it might be a struggle to figure out a word the first time, once you become familiar with the format in a new parish, you won't have to re-figure out every entry. A simple knowledge of the words for the names of family members (mother, father, etc.), ordinances (baptism, marriage, burial), and months of the year can often make the record meaningful. Add a few more words, such as the names of occupations, and many records become readable.
Several resources can help make this task easier. First, genealogical word lists are available for many countries. You can access these on-line (see the sidebar on internet resources for more information). These lists provide translations for the most commonly found words in genealogy records. For more in-depth research, consider purchasing a language dictionary. For many areas, specialized genealogy dictionaries exist. These include dated and specialized words that you may not find in standard, modern-day dictionaries. Finally, several websites offer loose translations for free. Although these websites generally don't work well for long passages, they can be helpful for translating words or phrases.
Understanding places is a very important part of tracing a family. If you can't figure out the hometown of an ancestor, you won't be able to locate the records needed to make progress tracing that family. You will probably discover that finding the hometown of your ancestors is not a one-time job, but instead an on-going process. Many European families in the nineteenth century and earlier moved often. If your ancestors belonged to the large group of landless workers, they likely had no choice but to relocate every few years as they searched for work. Luckily, nearly all of these moves were done within a small radius. For example, a study of southern Sweden in the early nineteenth century showed that while only thirty percent of people resided in their parish of birth, seventy percent of those born elsewhere lived within fifteen kilometers of their birthplace.1
Becoming familiar with the geography of an area can be as simple as looking at a map, preferably a detailed one for the area in which your family lived. If the area has undergone a lot of boundary or town name changes, an older map will provide more accurate guidance. Maps of the parish jurisdictions, counties, or other relevant divisions also make research easier. Sometimes you can even find a map showing individual homes or farms in a town.
After locating the appropriate map, take a few minutes to study it. Become familiar with the area and the layout. This will increase the likelihood that you'll recognize names of new places that appear in the records. You will also be able to identify to what parish these new towns belonged, enabling you to access the correct records.
Of course, there are many ways to get copies of useful maps. Research outlines (see the sidebar for information on how to access these online) or other research books usually provide general maps, showing the country and its major divisions. Many bookstores sell detailed modern maps. Also, some places have tourist information centers that send out maps of certain areas for free. You can sometimes find older genealogy maps at specialized bookstores, by searching online, or by contacting an archive in the area your ancestors lived.
(For specific information about the history of Mecklenburg, Skåne, or Buckinghamshire, see their individual sections.)
Although it isn't necessary to become an expert on the history of an area before starting to research your family who lived there, a little background knowledge can go a long ways. For one thing, major historical events often affected the way records were kept. Familiarity with these events will help you understand sudden changes or differences in records.
Many countries in Europe changed boundaries or were temporarily controlled by other places. For example, my ancestors' home in Sweden belonged to Denmark for much of its early history. Similarly, from 1658 until 1803 Sweden controlled an area in northern Germany which included the hometown of another one of my ancestral families. In fact, Germany didn't even exist as a country until 1871. These changes could affect the language in which the records were written as well as the level at which records were recorded. German records illustrate this. Records between the German states are inconsistent until 1871 since no national government existed. Some states kept periodic census records, some kept detailed immigration records, and others kept totally different kinds of records.
Other events in history also impacted record keeping. Wars, for example, left their mark on the availability of records, sometimes destroying records, and sometimes inspiring certain records to be created. In addition, wars sometimes changed the way records were kept. During the wars of the French Revolution, for example, many areas that came under French domination suddenly began using a completely new calendar, known as the French Republic Calendar. When tracing a family in this area, you'll find that time suddenly starts with year one again. The months in this period also have completely new names. When the French were finally expelled, time keeping returned to normal again.
Learning a little about the history of a place can do more than help you figure out the records, though. It can also make the lives of the families that lived there more meaningful. Even knowing that your ancestors lived through an invasion, large-scale agricultural reorganization, or a time of increasing religious tolerance will give you a better concept of what their lives were like. As you understand the historical context of their lives, your ancestors will seem more like real people and less like a list of names and dates.
Gaining a basic understanding of the history of an area doesn't have to be time consuming either. Research Outlines or other research sources usually give a timeline or short synopsis of major events that happened in the country, particularly the events that affected record keeping. If you would like to learn more, you can check out a book about the general history of that country from your local library. Also, try doing a search on the web for the time period and place in which you are interested. Often, you can find short, easy-to-read summaries of the major events that affected your ancestors on a history website.
(For more information about peasant society, see the Daily Life and Demographics sections.)
Related to understanding history, learning something about the society in which your ancestors lived can be useful in numerous ways. Knowledge of only a few basic trends and demographics can help you focus your search for information about your ancestors and process the information when you find it.
First, you should recognize that most people's ancestors were peasants, or part of the common people. Only a very small percentage of the people in nineteenth century Europe and before were members of a higher class (such as nobles, clergy, or even middle-class professionals). Up until the close of the nineteenth century, the majority of people lived in small villages and made their living off the land (although industrialization did come at different times to different places – most notably reaching England before much of the European mainland). If your ancestors owned a farm, they probably stayed in one place throughout their lives, making your job as a researcher easy. However, as mentioned earlier, if they lived the more destitute life of a landless worker, they probably had to move from place to place often, in search of employment. If this is the case, you'll have to continue to check the records of surrounding villages to determine the location of your family.
It can also help to familiarize yourself with some of the trends that surrounded the major life events such as birth, marriage, and death. For example, when searching for marriage records, keep in mind that the average age at marriage for Western European males was twenty-nine. The average female married at age twenty-seven.2 In order to save up enough money to begin a household of their own, young people needed to work for a number of years before marrying. Also, check first in the bride's parish for the marriage record, since weddings were traditionally held in her hometown.
When gathering birth records, search a wide range of years to ensure you don't miss a child. Start your search for a couple's children several years before their marriage. This is important because illegitimate births were relatively common throughout Western Europe. Between ten percent (in France) and thirty-seven percent (in England) of first births fell into the category of premarital conception.3 Before ending your search, take into consideration that with little available in the form of birth control, it wasn't unusual for couples to continue having children until the wife was in her early forties.
Finally, remember that early death plagued nearly all families in the nineteenth century and before. Nearly a quarter of all babies died before their first birthdays (although rates varied considerably from place to place).4 Because of this, always check the death records carefully for children in your ancestral families. Many people also lost a spouse in the prime of life. If this happens in your family, look for a remarriage within the next couple of years after the death.5 People usually didn't continue long as single parents. Two parents were essential to fulfill the tasks required to raise and provide for a family.
Finally, before jumping into research, it's helpful to get an overview of what kind of sources are available. Parish records are almost always an important source. However, less obvious sources that could save a considerable amount of time may be available as well. For example, parish indexes may exist either in the local parish or for the entire locality. Large compiled sources may include genealogical information about many families in a particular area.
It only takes a minute to discover what sources are available for your locality. Checking the Family History Library Catalogue for the Family History Library in Salt Lake City is a great place to start (see sidebar for more information). Here, you can search by town or by a larger jurisdiction. Consulting the Research Outline for the area is another quick and easy way. You might also try searching online for records or indexes available there.
Finally, many areas have active genealogical societies with information online. Their websites usually include ways to contact them by email or mail. Studying these websites or contacting someone in the society can be very rewarding. I discovered this after spending countless hours searching unsuccessfully for the marriage record of one of my English ancestors. After stumbling upon a website for the county genealogical society, I paid a small fee to have them search an unpublished marriage index. Within a week, I had a copy of the record that had eluded me for over a year.
After my frustrating afternoon attempting Swedish research, I went back home and spent a little time learning more about Sweden and how to do research there. The next time I sat down with the microfilm, the experience unfolded much differently. With a little background knowledge of this new area, I was able to trace my family back in Sweden much further – and I enjoyed doing it!
Although the steps outlined above may require a small investment at first, in the end, they can save you a huge amount of time and frustration. Understanding a few basic facts about the places your ancestors lived will also make the research results - and their lives - more meaningful.

'The Simpsons': Homer & Marge To Legally Separate After 27 Seasons
Oh no! After nearly three decades together, are Homer and Marge Simpson calling it quits on 'The Simpsons?' We've got the divorce deets!
Since it premiered in 1989, Homer and Marge Simpson have been relationship goals (before that was even an expression)! However, in heartbreaking news, on The Simpsons upcoming 27th season, the two will hit a rough patch– and it might even mean the end of their marriage!
Well, after so many years on the air, Simpsons producer Al Jean was bound to shake things up a bit, right? Discussing what's ahead in the new season, Al said that Marge and Homer's troubles will come to a boil, but perhaps for different reasons than what you expected.
"In the premiere, it's discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy and it's an incredible strain on the marriage," Al told our sister site Variety. "Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham. We'll have cameos from the other women from Girls."
But, but… They can't split up! Please guys, stay together for the kids? Stay together for Santa's Little Helper's sake?
The upcoming season won't be all bad news, though. Al also teased some super exciting storylines. "We have an episode based on the film Boyhood," he said. "It's a flashback/flashforward about Bart. We go to various points in his life and his life to come which I think came out really well."
We also can look forward to some more topical arcs! "We're definitely going to have Homer vote in 2016," Al said. "One aspect of the pickup that made me happy is that Homer can vote again. He voted for Romney in 2012 because he invented Obamacare. He tried to voted for Obama in 2008 but all his votes went to McCain."
Are you sad that Homer and Marge are going to split up?

The Hosting Package
Their hosting packages are not for the start up web developers. Packages begin at $150 per month for a year for the Windows Dedicated Servers. Linux Dedicated Servers are priced also at $150 a month for a year, minus the 30 day money back guarantee in the Windows deployments. Coldfusion Dedicated servers, on the other hand, will cost you $229 a month for a year.
What's Great About Sozo Hosting?
- Good support team
Sozo's support team, both their customer service and technical support, are knowledgeable and polite. There have been no accounts of irate customer service agents from their end and they seem to manage the volume of calls and trouble tickets well.
- Pricing is quite affordable
Their prices may appear expensive but that is because they are packaging it on a yearly basis. But if you compute it on a monthly basis, then they are just up to par with the cheaper packages out there.
- Good, stable performance within the US
If your service is within the United States then you can be assured that they have a good track record in terms of stability and overall network speed. They can be a good choice when it comes to upgrading growing web sites and services.
- A lot of actual user feedback online
There are a lot of actual user feedbacks from forums and chatrooms about Sozo's performance. This is a good indication that they have quite a number of real customers out there trying out their service.
What's Disappointing About Sozo Hosting?
✖ Occasional migration issues
There have been instances of nightmare-ish migration issues especially if you are doing database migration outside the United States.
✖ Access from non-US countries very erratic
There are a lot of reports that hosted sites outside the United States cannot access their websites at all. Sadly, this is a common complaint from non-US users of Sozo.
✖ MySQL databases tend to be very slow
Along with the migration issues are overall performance issues when it comes to their MySQL databases support. These databases are the core of most web sites now and there shouldn't be any hitches in running them, especially if you are targeting business and enterprise users.
The Bottom line
You will most probably not risk the migration issues for your website but if you are running from within the United States only, then you are pretty much safe from the other pitfall of Sozo Hosting.

What a long day it was, we wen to Arlington, TX today the place I grew up. We went to get some stuff taken care of like getting inspection sticker. And needless to say after 5 hours in Arlington we did not come home with a inspection sticker. His check engine light had been on and then went off well it did not want to pass cause it had not cleared. We drove alot today....lol And never cleared then on way home the check engine light come on again!!! I could not believe it. So now we have to find out what is going on with his truck. Anyway on way back home I wanted to go by and see the Cowboys stadium. Sunday is the Superbowl in our new stadium. It's crazy how much is going on, they have dozens of these portable buildings that are two story's tall even for people that just want to watch from the jumbo screen not even getting to go inside...lol Sad most people in our local area are not going cause none of use can afford it...lol Tickets for the very top way up is 2,000 for two people. And those tent tickets to watch on jumbo screen will run you about 350 each. That don't include parking. Its a pretty and very big stadium its one you have to see in person to grasp the size of it. But still not worth that much for tickets. I will watch on TV from our comfy sofa and not have to drive home after the game. Anyways wanted to let everyone know I doubt I will be posting anymore this week, my in laws are in town. They will be here tomorrow so I will have my hands full. And today I have been not feeling so great think I am coming down with something, prefect timing...lol. So bare with me for a week and I will try to post if I can find time to craft. It might be a short trip not sure yet. Have a great week.
Showing off Lindsay!

China's First Civilian Airliner — And Industry Ambitions — Take Maiden Flight
Chinese aviation, prepare for take-off.
There's a new kid on the aviation block. China's first-ever domestically designed and built civilian airliner took its maiden flight Thursday in a watershed moment for the country's aviation industry and new competitor to Western giants that have the market cornered.
On Friday, a crowd of some 3,000 Chinese officials and industry execs gathered at the Shanghai airport to watch the test flight of the C919, China's answer to the Boeing-737 and Airbus-320, the workhorse planes for global airlines. The C919 landed safely after an hour-long test flight, marking a major milestone in China's long-term ambition to crack into the global civilian airline market.
Built by state-owned aircraft corporation Comac, the C919 is designed to seat 155-175 with a range of 2,530 miles.
U.S.-based Boeing and Europe-based Airbus Group have in essence dominated that market from the beginning, but Western executives may not be sweating the C919 just yet. The Chinese project was riddled with technical problems and delays from the outset (the test flight Friday was originally scheduled for three years ago) and it relies heavily on foreign technologies to function. Comac also still hasn't proven itself capable of producing high quality planes that can pass toptier Western safety inspections on part with the Boeing-Airbus duopoly.
Comac announced it's already received 570 orders from 23 customers, but nearly every sale comes from Chinese companies. (The plane also has one U.S. buyer: General Electric Capital Aviation Services, a supplier to the C919 program, ordered 20 planes from Comac.) And that's a small drop in the bucket compared to Boeing, which can roll out 400-500 Boeing 737's a year.
Still, industry experts agree Boeing and Airbus are watching Comac with a wary eye. The International Air Transport Association estimates China will overtake the United States as the world's top aviation market by 2024. Over the next 20 years, the IATA forecasts there will be an additional 817 million passengers from China alone, making it the world's fastest growing market. And Comac has the home-field advantage.

From Old Trafford to the Vatican – the road less travelled by Phil Mulryne
The former Manchester United player and Northern Ireland international turned to the priesthood after retiring from football.
The dilemma for all professional footballers at the end of their career is what to do after hanging up the boots.
Many remain in the game at some level through punditry, coaching or management. Most decide to get into business ventures of some description, while some make a clean break before assessing the next step.
Some struggle to find enough satisfaction away from the pitch, desperately failing to recapture that buzz of the team environment.
We have seen more than our fair share of public episodes in recent years that could be categorised under 'Fallen Footballer'.
It would be fair to suggest that enrolling in the Pontifical Irish College in Rome to become a Dominican priest doesn't fit the conventional post-retirement route.
This is the curious case of Phil Mulryne.
The Belfast-born player quickly came to the attention of scouts in the UK during his youth and Manchester United would be his destination of choice.
The club under Alex Ferguson was placing a greater emphasis in youth development. The famed class of 92 featuring the likes of Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Butt and the Neville brothers were beginning to make forays into the first-team and in 1995 the club won the FA Youth Cup for the first time since that star-studded side.
Mulryne played midfield in both legs in the win over a Spurs side that featured Stephen Carr, though was equally as comfortable up front.
The Northern Irish man struggled to get Alex Ferguson's attention with such competition in the first-team and made his international bow against Belgium in February 1997 before making his debut for United in the Coca-Cola Cup the following October.
He made his one and only Premier League appearance against Barnsley at the end of the 1997/98 season, one of three players to make his league debut with Ryan Giggs, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Nicky Butt also in the side.
The 2-0 victory that day consigned Barnsley to relegation, but for Mulryne, it too marked the beginning of the end.
In search of playing time, Mulryne joined Norwich City in March 1999, two months before the historic Treble was sealed, for £500,000 and spent six years at Carrow Road.
Despite a broken leg, a Division One play-off final defeat and just a handful of Premier League appearances after the Canaries were promoted as champions in 2004, Mulryne was a fans' favourite and made 161 appearances at the club.
Spells at Cardiff City, Ipswich, Brighton, Legia Warsaw, Barnsley and Leyton Orient followed and in 2008, with 27 international appearances to his name, he called time on his playing career.
Mulryne had been involved in various charity activities post-retirement and it is believed that Bishop Noel Treanor of Down and Connor invited him to join the priesthood on foot of his volunteer work.
Sally Mulryne confirmed the news in 2009 that her son would begin a two-year philosophy degree in Rome, followed by a four-year theology degree before finally be qualifying as a priest.
Many of his former teammates were naturally surprised with the news. The thoughts of Phil become Father Mulryne would take some adjustment.
Mulryne once dated model Nicola Chapman and was sent home from a Northern Ireland squad after breaking a curfew to go drinking. Not exactly behaviour out of place in the world of a professional footballer, but not exactly early signs of a theological calling.
Former Norwich City team-mate Paul McVeigh spoke of his "amazement" and "shock" when he discovered Phil's decision and travelled to meet his friend in Rome during his initial training.
"I know for a fact that this is not something he took lightly," he said at the time.
"When I arrived in Rome, I was met by a very contented looking Phil," he added.
The Dominicans decided on enrollment that the student would not speak publicly about his new profession, at least until he qualifies, so we will have to wait to hear the incredible story in his own words.
From Fergie Fledgling to Dublin Dominican, it has been a unique journey for the Belfast man.

The energy-based firm, Obsidian Energy is headquartered in Calgary, a city located within Alberta, Canada. It started as Penn West Petroleum Limited. In 2017, the global company underwent all-rounded positive transformations which led to the improvement in the services which they offer. Besides, it also acquired its new name, Obsidian Energy. The firm is headed by David French, the president and the overall manager.
The location of the company influences the number barrels of oil which they produce on a daily basis. The founders were wise enough to construct it along the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. With this, they have earned markets for the natural gas and oil that they deal in. Additionally, the company has developed their operational standards making their products of high quality.
Before the change of the name, it recorded massive sales in stocks. Their dealings earned them high rankings in New York's markets for stocks. The employees are also chief contributors to the success of Obsidian Energy. The company is now working with successful entrepreneurs and investors who are contributing to its growth.
Additionally, the change led to the increase in sales of solid assets making Obsidian, one of the best investment industries in the whole of Canada. Profits have also doubled leading to economic development and growth of the firm.
Change is the best thing any enterprise that is after success should embrace. For Obsidian Energy, it has employed more qualified staff compared to when it operated as Penn West Petroleum Limited. David has empowered his professionals to continue building the company's image through maximum productivity. The markets where Obsidian Energy sells it natural gas and crude oil have also expanded.
The goals that the company set in its previous years of successful operations are reaching their targets with wholesome achievements. Indeed, David French has contributed tirelessly with beneficial efforts for the sake of his company. Click Here to learn more about Obsidian Energy.
As of now, the energy sector has grown with better market trends. These have attracted world's investors to continue participating in building the economy. With all these, Obsidian Energy remains to stand firm in all their operations while reaping the benefits of change.

text: In 1821, in the remote Diamantina Mountains of Brazil, slave trader Antonio (Adriano Carvalho) returns to the decaying but imposing farmhouse he inherited to discover his wife has died in childbirth. Confined to this desolate property in the company of his demented mother-in-law (Juliana Carneiro Da Cunha) and numerous slaves, he marries his dead wife's niece, Beatriz (Luana Nastas), a child of 12. A restless soul, he returns to his trading expeditions and leaves his child wife behind. The loneliness of the big house in the rugged landscape mirrors that of its inhabitants: All have been displaced from their original homes and forced into co-existence. The undercurrents of violence and prejudice, which still plague the Brazil of today, accelerate the inevitable tragedy, which heralds the tides of change. Hailing the film's "searing depiction of racial cruelty and the weight given to its female characters in a patriarchal world," the Hollywood Reporter says "Vazante" is "bristling with the tensions of violence, subjugation and forced cross-cultural cohabitation" and "transfixing in its formal rigor, impressive craft and striking visual beauty."

Boston Salsa Videos Going Back Up Soon!
I just got the green light from the owners of some of the salsa venues here in Boston to put salsa videos back up on YouTube and this website. Â If you didn't know yet, last week I was asked to take them down because of fear of the consequences of SOPA & PIPA.
Now that those bills have been put on the back-burner in Congress (for now), I'll be restoring the removed videos over the next few weeks, as well as putting up some new ones.  Stay tuned to my YouTube channel, and enjoy!

Boston Salsa Community Early Casualty of SOPA & PIPA
The Boston salsa community is one of the first victims of SOPA and PIPA.
I have just been asked by the owner of one of our salsa venues in Boston to remove my salsa videos from the venue from YouTube and my website, because of the threat of SOPA and PIPA. I think this is an overreaction since the bills haven't actually passed yet, but I will comply with the owner's wishes anyway.
