Versaware Inc., www.versaware.com, is the world leader in ePublishing and the creation and distribution of eBooks for a growing number of platforms. Founded in 1997, Versaware offers a complete end-to-end solution for todays leading publishers, including: McGraw-Hill, Pearson, Addison Wesley Longman, John Wiley & Sons, Simon & Schuster Interactive, Taylor & Francis and others.
The Electronic Book Exchange (EBX) Working Group is an organization of companies, organizations, and individuals developing a standard for protecting copyright in electronic books and for distributing electronic books among publishers, distributors, retailers, libraries, and consumers. The draft EBX specification accommodates a variety of content formats for electronic books, including Open eBook Publication Structure and Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF).
The purpose of the Open eBook Forum (OeBF) is to create and maintain standards and promote the successful adoption of electronic books. The Open eBook Forum (OeBF) is an association of hardware and software companies, publishers, authors and users of electronic books and related organizations whose goals are:
Representatives of the Open eBook Forum (OeBF - http://www.openebook.org/) and the Electronic Book Exchange Working Group (EBX - http://www.ebxwg.org/) met in Denver, Colorado, during the week of December 4, 2000, and jointly developed a plan to combine the efforts of both organizations.
The unified organization will be a focal point for standards activities related to electronic publishing and hopes to provide a home for all industry participants and parties interested in the development and adoption of electronic publishing standards.
The unified organization will be run in accordance with the governance principles and procedures of the OeBF and expects to take advantage of the substantial work completed to date by the EBX Working Group to accelerate delivery of standards for digital rights management.
The plan addresses the issues surrounding the combination and contemplates completing integration of the organizations on February 1, 2001. Both the OeBF board of directors and the EBX Executive Committee have approved this plan without dissent and have appointed a joint transition team to work out details of the unification.
In order to implement any standardized scheme for the management of rights in a digital environment, it is first necessary to develop a common ontology that facilitates discussion of complex issues by parties with widely divergent vantage points and vocabularies.
The Framework developed by members of the Open eBook Forum includes a Reference Model that integrates specified Domains, Element Types (Roles, Objects, Interactions and Functions, and Authorities), and Perspectives in to a Conceptual Matrix onto which may be mapped any business model relevant to electronic publishing at the present time and for the conceivable future.
This Reference Model is bolstered by a series of Stakeholder Profiles spanning the industry and examining each link in the value chain as well as a concise yet comprehensive glossary of salient terminology.
Once the Framework is acceptably defined, the proper direction is determined by gathering Stakeholder Requirements.
The art of gathering Stakeholder requirements has been refined considerably over the past two years. When requirements were gathered at the inception of SDMI, over two hundred fifty stakeholder representatives were gathered together for open debates. In the year 2000, EBX Working Group members canvassed their personal contacts, while the AAP commissioned a study by Andersen Consulting leading to a series of three published studies.
This year, the Requirements Working Group of the OeBF will be building a sophisticated database of Requirements for Digital Publishing, including Digital Rights Management. The database will be used by other Working Groups as a metric for success in serving the needs of the stakeholder constituency.
There are many elements to the distribution, protection and control of electronic content. Each component has issues and requirements that must be carefully considered in order to produce a viable, interoperable chain of services and providers that will achieve a complete ePublishing system.
The adage that "Content is King" can be interpreted accurately in a variety of ways. Certainly a common view of content in terms of basic structure is essential to any scheme that will be found acceptable by the open market. The OEB Publication Structure has been widely accepted by the electronic publishing industry as the primary B2B content distribution format. Nevertheless, most eBooks are currently compiled into a proprietary format before distribution to the consumer.
Many groups have done seminal work on content identification. The EBX Working Group has examined many options, from the traditional ISBN to newer innovative schemes such as DOI. The OeBF has a SIG dedicated to the investigation of identifier systems most suited for use in various aspects of electronic publishing.
Content integrity is a fundamental prerequisite to a functioning DRM system in any industry.
Content Granularity enables a number of business models otherwise impractical, but made possible by the nature of digital content.
Metadata may afford the greatest opportunity for added value in the publishing industry since the invention of the book jacket.
The rights of content owners must be specified unambiguously and in terms that may be readily understood by a variety of participants in the value chain. The EBX Specification describes mechanisms for encoding rights in XML based fragments called Vouchers. These Vouchers may travel independently of protected content. It is also possible to create a set of fulfillment instructions (commonly called "tickets", but similar in many respects to electronic gift certificates) that authenticate credit and authorize access to content upon the completion of final delivery instructions.
It is also possible to embed rights expressions and content together within the same package.
Rights must be expressed in a defined syntax. The EBX Working Group has investigated the use of specified subsets of XrML and ODRL based upon a minimalized vocabulary devised by the EBX Working Group Technical Committee.
DRM is differentiated from piracy protection by a more granular approach to rights. There is, of course, the management of granularized content; free access to the first chapter of a book, the first thirty seconds of a song or even the first ten minutes of a feature film delivered over broadband. In addition, there is the granularity of rights themselves, such as view without print, as well as the right to reproduce specific content types, such as the ability to reproduce (extract or clear copy) text but not illustrative media components.
It is critical that the distribution and transfer protocols and the format of Vouchers and Credentials be standardized to ensure interoperability between publishers, distributors, booksellers, libraries, and consumers.
EBX defines a protocol for transferring e-books from one entity to another. This transfer protocol, the EBXTP, contains requirements for the sequencing and content of data transfer between entities. It does not specify an underlying transport protocol, but instead demands that the transport protocol reliably exchange data as required by the transfer protocol.
The transaction model in EBXTP involves two distinct domains of trust: protocol engine and voucher engine. The protocol engine runs on the unprotected central processor of client and server computers, sends and receives EBXTP commands, parses the commands, and performs the commands. The voucher engine runs on a, possibly, physically protected processor of the client and server computers, authenticates other voucher engines, sends and receives EBX vouchers and credentials, stores vouchers in protected memory, and performs voucher and content key operations.
In a consumer computer like an e-book reading device, the protocol engine runs on the main processor and memory and the entire voucher engine runs on a smart card. In a commercial computer like a publisher, bookseller or library Web server, the main processor and memory are assumed to be physically protected from consumers and therefore, most of the voucher engine runs on the main processor. Only the actual private key operations of the voucher engine in a commercial server are performed by a smart card.
Protocol engines, while generally considered "trustworthy", are not sufficiently trusted to handle voucher operations. From the perspective of a voucher engine, protocol engines exist simply to transfer vouchers between voucher engines. (Of course, from the perspective of the consumer, protocol engines primarily exist to transfer e-book content and the voucher exchange is just some copyright "stuff".)
These separate domains of trust are important concepts when analyzing and implementing EBX/HTTP. Put bluntly, since the protocol engine runs on an unprotected processor, it cannot be trusted to do anything with encrypted vouchers except transfer them. The voucher engine should always be coded to assume the protocol engine is vulnerable to malicious failures.
Publishers and other copyright holders want to know the level of protection provided to their digital content when it is distributed electronically. Furthermore, recognizing that higher levels of protection often come at the expense of other desirable properties, they want the ability to set different levels of protection for different titles.
The technology provides some protections, but social processes including deterrence, detection, and legal enforcement as well as insurance-based compensation for parties that fall victim to cracks in the system are integral to the overall protection of digital rights. In balancing the contributions achieved through these various approaches, EBX provides assurance to all partiespublishers, authors, insurers and law enforcementthat adequate precautions have been taken to protect the intellectual rights of authors and publishers.
In the open EBX architecture, a number of distributed components including servers and end-user readers from multiple vendors cooperate to enforce digital rights. These components provide persistent copyright protection via secure authentication, secure transfer and controlled exposure of the vended content according to both the rules defined for the system as a whole and the rights associated with each particular digital title. The fundamental rule enforced by every component is to deny any right unless explicitly granted. Consequently, associated with each digital content title is a set of permissions that grant particular rights under specified conditions. Included in the specified rights are rules defining the assurances required before control over a particular digital title can be transferred from one component to another.
Proper integration is possibly the most critical aspect of the process. It is necessary to examine several aspects of the individual relationships between various components of the overall system in order for the rights to be managed effectively.
The environment must be defined according to all of the perspectives described in the accepted framework. In the OeBF Framework for an ePublishing Ecology three perspectives are defined: social, legal and technical.
Environments created by combinations of hardware and software are often the deciding factors, since DRM solutions are usually designed and implemented by technology providers. Industry groups that include other industry stakeholders provide a valuable service by introducing the fundamental requirements of content owners as well as various social and legal institutions such as libraries, government agencies and organizations dedicated to special interest groups such as those with various disabilities.
Although it is the basic responsibility of a standards organization to construct a reference architecture, it is also necessary to create a mechanism that allows for innovation and future growth of the industry in light of unforeseen technological developments. This concept is embodied in the guiding principle adopted by several organizations with which the author has been associated; a specification shall not preclude any technological solution that provides the requisite functionality demanded by the industry stakeholders.
Components must be constructed in a modular manner and integrated into a flexible architecture so that the specification may survive, and even thrive upon new technology as it is introduced into the marketplace.
Interoperability is probably the primary motivating factor that drives industry stakeholders to participate in standards efforts. Most technology providers concentrate their efforts on a single component of the architecture. There are also many examples of content providers that limit themselves to a subset of the perspectives described by the prevailing ecology such as those that provide illustrations for books or music for video productions.
Components must be specified in ways that allow for interoperability both horizontally, as described above, and vertically, so that participants along the value chain can communicate and distribute content as well as rights definitions in a transparent and efficient manner.
The integration process must insure that the final specification responds to the requirements of the critical stakeholders. While the individual components may be designed with a bias toward current technological realities, the integrated product must remain serviceable in the evolving world of social and legal perspectives as well as technological change.
Thus, integration includes an iterative process, responding to change at a pace commensurate with industry and market factors.
Integration must account for evolving business models as well as evolving standards tangential to the specification at hand such as standards for metadata and identifiers.
Finally, it is the responsibility of those charged with integrating the components to react expeditiously in the face of revolutionary changes, new business models, and paradigm shifts induced by technological innovations.
The goal of any standards organization is adoption of its specifications. Adoption occurs when a predetermined percentage of platforms support the specifications. Driving platform support will be content owners that embrace the specifications as the preferred means of expressing and distributing their intellectual property.

Ultra Death

Now I really feel guilty about not getting Salomon shoes for you in time. It was a shame they were sold out of your size in the Sense before you left. I often refer to the Mudrocs as "the shoes that are too uncomfortable to walk around the yard in". You are a speedcross or fellracer guy. I'll work on it! We can't have cat-like Rubesches passing you anymore.

A pair of Salomons would be nice. I do have my old ones from Transalpine and would have worn them, if they hadn't been in Denmark. If you are choosing between the following presents for Friday, the choice should be obvious:
1. Charcuteri
2. Skim milk
3 Eau de Cologne
4. Salomons
Anything to stay clear of the dreaded Rubeschia Feliniensis.

See I was actually going to say that I felt exactly the same about those Salomon sense ultra shoes--that they were so inflexible that I hated them. I wore them once and yeah, they were tractiony on mud, but also they were like trying to run in bowling shoes. Never again:(
It sounds like an exciting race though. And it doesn't sound like you had any cramp problems? So that's a plus...

The Charity Letter Program
The Charity Letter Program is designed specifically for persons who are uninsured or underinsured requiring the need for health care services. This program works closely with Federally Qualified Health Centers (Section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act 42 United States Code Section 254a) that provide preventative healthcare services to qualified persons. The Federally Qualified Health Centers are provided oversight by the Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
The Community Resource Center provides charity letters for persons that meet specific criteria and must provide specific documentation to qualify for the program. Each applicant must provide a verified income or supported verified income (i.e. pay check, unemployment compensation, SSI/SSDI/SSA income, U.S. bank deposit statement, ACCESS Award Letter).This statement is used to qualify the person of income or a supported income by a spouse, family member or friend.
If none of these apply to the applicant than zero income letter may be generated by Community Resource Center and the letter must be notarized. The Community Resource Center will provide the zero income letter for its patrons.
Each applicant: Must reside in the state of Florida and possess one of these acceptable forms of identification:
U.S. State issued photo Identification
U.S. issued Military identification
U.S. Resident card
U.S. Employment Authorization Card
Valid Passport, or Passport Card.
For students, an acceptable form of identification may be a school issued photo identification card.
The applicant requiring the Charity Letter must be present to receive the document.
The Community Resource Center charges a nominal processing fee for the application processing.
What to bring: I.D., income verification and application fee.
Please call for an appointment or if you have any further questions at 407 473-7616.

We've been making a steady supply of granola in the wonderful Sun Oven.
This stems from a compound realization: 1. We both like granola. A lot. We eat it very often. In spite of the risk of being called granolas. 2. It's bloody expensive! Analyzing monthly expenditures turned up an alarming number on bulk granola. Oh, but it's so good! Can't stop! (see #1). 3. Rolled oats- not so much. Very cheap, or relatively so for these days. Really, it beggars belief how much the price for an oat can inflate if you drip some sugar on it and toast it.
We can make it ourselves!
So we've been mixing up big batches of granola and toasting by the panful on sunny days, which have arrived in abundance in April.
Our granola kicks a** on the granola we used to buy, and HW even muses that what makes it really special is he can "taste the sun in it". We won't be going back. Making enough to last through the winter might be a challenge…hmmm.
Our recipe:
(we usu do twice this much at a time, and amounts are approximate, but this is the basic)
- 3 cups oats
- Cinnamon, and often the usual pumpkin pie culprits- nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Dash of salt
- Optional 1/2 cup of some deluxe optional additions, like sliced almonds, pecan pieces, hazelnuts, flax seeds or pumpkin seeds; finely chopped dried pineapple, or candied ginger, or dried strawberries. This is what adds the wow!
These are the dry ingredients. Stir 'em up.
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- Splash of maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tbsps brown sugar
- 1 Tsp vanilla
These are the liquids. Heat them, together, and drizzle them over the dry while rapidly tumbling the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon.
Bake. Normally this might say 15 min at 350F? or some such. It's about twenty minutes in the sun oven, and then stir it up and leave it another 10-15. Watch the oven! If it gets to dark brown, it could be just fine with milk, but there might be too much sun in it.

The Torrey Pines State Beach is located in the city of San Diego in southern California and is a popular haunt for nature lovers and the sports enthusiast. The beach is located in a picturesque landscape while the charming waters of the ocean are a favorite among surfers.
The beach is surrounded by sandstone cliffs which are colored white and golden besides a greenish layer. There is also a lagoon and estuary nearby which empties into the ocean and a highway crosses the entrance into the ocean. There are a variety of bird species in the landscape and marine life underwater which can excite the most avid of nature lover and animal enthusiast.
The northern area of the beach is popular as a surfing destination where surfers can make the most out of their skills in the waves. The southern end of the beach is popular as a swimming destination and body boarding that excites the most enthusiast of sports fanatics.
The beach is usually crowded during the day times when people from the nearby city come for a quick refreshment in the waters and the beach. The most popular beach activity is however swimming in this pristine nature spot close to the city.

Blessed New Year 2018. Due to the weather broadcast on Nativity feast Liturgy and for the safety of everyone, the Holy Liturgy will be from 6 - 10 PM.
Fr. Wissa Bessada
Father Wissa Bessada is the founder of Archangel Michael & St. Mena Coptic Church in Staten Island.
Father Wissa Bessada was ordained on 7-23-1976 by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III to serve at The Great Morkosia Church,
(Azbakia, Egypt.) Fr. Wissa was called to serve at Saint Louis, Missouri (USA) on 12-16-1979. After that, he started serving Staten
Island on 12-03-1980 and there was no Church at that time on the Island. The first Liturgy was held on 1-6-1981 and was attended by a total of 25 people at St Sylvester Church on Targee St where they rented. On 1993 and through the grace of God and Fr. Wissa's service the congregation was able to purchase an existing building on January 1993. Fr. Wissa continued to serve the people of Staten Island and by October 2004 construction of the current church as an extension to the existing building started. The church was consecrated on 2-4-2007, and shortly after, Fr. Wissa was promoted to the next and last rank of priesthood (Hegomen) on 2-6-2007. He departed to our Lord Jesus Christ on April 28, 2013 after serving 33 years in Staten Island

Being injured by a moving object (e.g. being struck by a falling object or a cut from a hand knife) accounts for over 10% of major injuries reported to HSE in the food and drink industries. This is the third largest category of reported injuries after manual handling and slips. The total number of injuries from this cause is around 700 per year of which about 100 are major injuries.
A third of the injuries are caused by falling objects (eg an item falling from a storage rack), a quarter are from hand tools (especially hand knives) with the third highest cause being hit by moving pallet trucks etc..
Work area risk assessments should include looking at this particular risk, especially as 'struck by' injuries are common and are likely to occur almost anywhere.

Thirteen votes. That's all that separates Prince George's County Council candidates Doyle L. Niemann and Deni Taveras after a hard-fought primary election that pitted a savvy newcomer against a seasoned political hand.
"I haven't seen it this close in all the years I've been doing this," said Prince George's Election Director Alisha Alexander, who has overseen county elections for a decade. The outcome of Tuesday's Democratic primary will probably hinge on about 122 provisional ballots, which should be counted starting Wednesday.
The tightness of the race illustrates the power of grass-roots politics and retail campaigning, especially in a fast-changing council district with thousands of newly recruited Hispanic voters.
District 2 includes the inside-the-Beltway towns of Hyattsville, Langley Park, Lewisdale, Chillum and Adelphi. Niemann, 67, has represented most of those communities for decades, as a state delegate in Annapolis since 2002 and on the county school board and the Mount Ranier city council before that. He began the council race confident that the voters would stand by him again.
"I went after anyone with a history of voting," using mailers, e-mail newsletters, robo-calls and yard signs, Niemann said. He outlined a plan to increase job growth, stimulate economic development and improve schools.
Civic association leaders helped Niemann, and he won the endorsement of police and teachers unions, environmental groups, The Washington Post and other newspapers. He hired bilingual campaign workers to communicate with Spanish-speaking voters and sought support from a group of Hispanic church leaders who had grown disenchanted with outgoing District 2 representative William A. Campos, the first Latino to serve on the council.
"I made a commitment to bring [Latinos] into the political process in ways that haven't happened in the past," Niemann said.
Opponents, however, say Niemann may have underestimated the value of venturing out into the broader Hispanic community, and Taveras's ability to penetrate it.
Taveras built a campaign rooted in her outgoing personality and flush with cash, much of it from a political action committee that also supported Campos, who is running for the House of Delegates, and state Sen. Victor Ramirez (D-Prince George's), for whom Taveras used to work. She was endorsed by County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) and Del. Joseline Peña-Melnyk (D-Prince George's).
At one point, Taveras, 41, had three teams of up to 160 people knocking on doors and waving signs on street corners. She estimated that her campaign reached about 17,000 potential constituents.
"It's clearly that personal touch — regardless of whether there was substance to it — that made a huge difference," Niemann said. "It is a reflection of the power of showing up to people's doors."
But Taveras, who is Dominican American and bilingual, did more than ask for votes.
"I sat down in their living rooms, I ate their food, and I drank their water if they offered," Taveras said. "I asked them, 'Tell me what you think I need to do.' I developed my entire platform based on what people told me."
Two or three times a week, Taveras campaigned outside the West Hyattsville Metro station, meeting crowds of voters heading to and from work. By the end, she recognized most of the faces, had met people's families and could recite their concerns.
When the votes were counted on Election Day, Niemann had 2,324, six more than Taveras's 2,318. Tallying absentee ballots on Thursday brought the count to 2,378 for Niemann, 2,365 for Taveras.
Although votes cannot be tracked by ethnicity, Taveras said she believes it was a surge of newly registered Latino voters that enabled her to close the gap.
CASA in Action, the voter registration arm of the immigrant advocacy group, launched a Latino engagement program in Prince George's in 2010, mining publicly available databases to identify unregistered voters who the group believed were Latino. CASA sent people to knock on doors to check whether members of particular households were eligible to vote and, if so, whether they were registered. If not, they gave information for how to do so.
The organization said the number of Democratic registered voters with Hispanic surnames in Prince George's grew by nearly 50 percent between 2010 and 2014 — from just under 11,000 to more than 16,000.
"It also really helps to have candidates here who believe that mobilizing those voters is a key to their success," CASA lobbyist Kim Propeack said.
In the three District 2 precincts with the most dense Latino population, the number of registered Democrats identified by CASA as Hispanic has more than doubled. Taveras carried all three. She spent much of Tuesday outside Nicholas Orem Middle School in Hyattsville, the polling station for one of the precincts, and won there by about 45 votes.
Ramirez, the first Latino state senator in Maryland, said Taveras's outreach to Hispanic voters was key. "You got to give folks a reason to vote who normally don't vote," he said. "She motivated many different kinds of people because people connected with her."

I am a sucker for Tarte's QVC Today Special Value sets, I really am. Today QVC's Today Special Value is Tarte's What Has Your Makeup Done For You Lately set, #A225763 I've probably said this before but they always introduce something new in these sets and there's always something else for me to obsess over. Right now? I'm loving that Tarte has given us yet another great brush and a new chunky lip pencil… I'm all about the lip pencils.
This set retails for $49.96 and introduces us to Tarte's new Maracuja Miracle Foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF 15. It also has a few products that will remain exclusive to QVC until January 2013, we'll get into that in a moment. Another thing about this set? If you sign up for auto-delivery, your November set will include Tarte's bronzing powder and the February set will include the original setting powder.
Let's take a look at the packaging. I always love Tarte's packaging for these sets. Whether it is a makeup bag or a box, I like the care and attention they put into each set. Remember the recent set with the eyeshadow box? Gorgeous… and the packaging for their new lip gloss? Also gorgeous.
Here's what is included in this set:
- Maracuja Miracle 12-hour Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15
- 100% pure Maracuja Oil rollerball (QVC exclusive)
- LipSurgence Lip Shine in smitten (QVC exclusive)
- Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara in black
- modernEYES waterproof creaseless shadow/liner duo (QVC exclusive)
- Retoucher bamboo foundation brush
I have to say that this foundation didn't work for me but if my skin was different, I would like it. It blends really well and gives me a ton of coverage with troubled areas without appearing super heavy, always a good thing with me. The problem I have is that this is a hydrating foundation and before too long, the coverage I like so much quickly begins sliding off my face, especially in this warm weather. While it was nowhere near close to 12 hours worth of wear with me, I imagine that those of you with dry skin will get much better wear of this foundation. The good thing about this foundation being in this set is it introduced me to my new favorite foundation brush. The short and dense bristles are great for stippling on your foundation, tinted moisturizer or BB cream.
I am smitten with this new LipSurgence Lip Shine in smitten. This pencil is more pigmented than Tarte's other LipSurgence pencils, practically fully opaque and as the name suggests, has plenty of shine as well. I am hoping that this might be a teaser to a full range of new LipSurgence Lip Shines, that would make me a happy Tarte gal. The shade itself is a pretty soft pink that works well with both warm and cool skin tones. If there was such a thing as a pink nude lip, this would be it… at least for me. 🙂
Tarte is all about the purple, if you didn't know and we're still riding the purple train with the this modernEYES waterproof creaseless shadow/liner duo. The shadow part of the duo is a really pretty golden plum and taupe combination that works well with the liner part of the duo, a deep plum brown. I have yet to give the shadow portion of the duo a whirl but I have been using the liner. Just like Tarte's other liners, it has a nice glide to it but also seems to be a little fragile.
Another thing Tarte does well? Mascara. This Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara follows right in Lights, Camera, Lashes footsteps and gives lashes some volume. This was my first time using this mascara and I really appreciated the thick tube, made me feel like I had more control over the application.
How about some swatches? 🙂
The other thing not pictured here is the Maracuja Oil rollerball. This is a fantastic idea and I'm really surprised a mass brand hasn't done this already. It makes it easier to apply to your skin but also makes it portable for those times you need a little dose of moisture. I've been keeping this handy and applying it to my cuticles lately, they need all the help they can get!
Finally, this set has a little bonus extra and it's Tarte's new Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment. It is interesting to see Tarte dipping into skincare again and it makes me wonder what will follow. Can we expect a Maracuja cleanser? I haven't been using this eye cream long enough to see any brightening happening but I'm OK with that, it hydrates well and absorbs quickly enough for my needs at the moment.

Distribution of Fitch surnames in the UK
October 29, 2006
A University College London research project investigated the distribution of surnames in Great Britain, both current and historic, in order to understand patterns of regional economic development, population movement and cultural identity. This website allows users to search the databases to trace the geography and history of their family names.
This map shows the distribution of the Fitch surname across the UK in 1881.
This map shows the distribution in 1998
Cambridge is the top area and Haverhill the top postal town.
My great great grandfather has two very different birth certificates
October 28, 2006
Forty seven Fitch births were registered in England in 1844, 13 of them were in the Oct-Nov-Dec quarter and two of those were in Hertfordshire. Both of them were in Ware and both were for a child named John. In fact, both births were on the same day (October 11) and in the same town (Hoddesdon) however the first child is registered as the son of John and Ann Fitch while the second is the illegitimate son of Mary Fitch.
This is a little too coincidental for me, especially when the 1851 and 1861 census returns for Hoddesdon have John junior listed as the nephew of John senior. It looks likely that Mary's brother raised her illegitimate son but to be sure I need to find John senior's family to see if he had a sister called Mary and to trace her life to ensure she didn't die or marry before John junior was born 1844.
John senior's census returns all point to him being born around 1820 in Shoreditch in London and the IGI only lists one John Fitch baptised in Shoreditch around that time. On December 28, 1818 John, the son of John and Sarah Fitch was baptised in the parish of St Leonards after being born on December 11.
The IGI lists only one Mary born to John and Sarah Fitch in London and it is in the same St Leonards parish. On July 30, 1827 Mary Ann Fitch was baptised after being born on July 17.
The problem with the surname Fitch is that it is often interchanged with Finch and in searching the St Leonards parish register on IGI I found the following children born to John and Sarah Fitch or Finch:
- Sarah Maria Finch (1815)
- John Fitch (1818) <– likely uncle
- Elizabeth Finch (1821)
- Joseph Finch (1824)
- Mary Ann Fitch (1827) <– likely mother
- Susannah Fitch (1829)
Parents called John and Sarah are hardly uncommon so I need to be careful that I'm not looking at two separate families, one Fitch and one Finch, and overlapping birth years for their children would be a giveaway. However, you can see here that they are sufficiently spaced for this to possibly be one family.
The fly in the ointment came when I found only one marriage between a John Fitch or Finch and Sarah in Shoreditch and it is in 1820, two years after John Fitch was born.
It looks like I need to set aside some time at the London Metropolitan Archives to do some digging.
[UPDATE 5 Oct 2007]
I've started a separate genealogy blog: http://myfitchfamilytree.wordpress.com/

"One the most heart racing, jaw-dropping novels that I have ever dared to finish." Crack Magazine.
This is a gripping, visceral, page turner of a book. The pace is frenetic, grabbing you from page one and doesn't let up. Rod Glenn is such an original voice in the horror genre - this novel is captivating, horrific, and one helluva ride. Don't forget to breathe!
A winter's tale with a sting.
There's a newcomer to the small Northumberland village of Haydon...a charming novelist and film buff, researching a crime thriller about a serial killer on a rampage in a remote Northumberland community. The only trouble is, it's a work in progress and it's going to be non-fiction.
392 men, women and children stand in his way to achieving a sadistic dream.
As the worst winter in more than a century approaches, can two investigating police officers trapped with the terrorised residents stop this monster?
Editorial Reviews
Sinema is darkly imaginative. When I first read it, Bret Easton Ellis's black comedy American Psycho came to mind, but Sinema is a particularly English, and recognizable, perspective, which works very well. --Discovered Authors
Sinema is a compelling and disturbing novel and it is balanced with a hefty dose of dark, satirical humour which savours of The League of Gentlemen. --Melrose Books
The book is laced with its own brand of dark humour that won't fail to bring a smile to your face. "Sinema" is an exploration of pure evil, be prepared for a bumpy ride. --Remotegoat.co.uk.
A truly chilling novel. --Borders Books

3.) Write a list of 10 things that can be done to stave off boredom.
4.) "How many homes have you had? Write a journal entry about ALL the places you've called 'home' in your life."
ALL the places I've called home? Honestly, Mama Kat? Wow. I am choosing this just to see if I can do it. (Mom, if you're reading you can check and see if I left anything out.)
- I was born when my parents were in grad school (well, mom was finished and working but dad was still in) so we lived in Fayetteville, AR near the U of A. First house I remember was a rock house?
- Then a duplex there where dad had a motorcycle...
- A farmhouse in Hogeye, AR (yeah, that's really the name!) I loved that house- guess from when I was 2-3. I remember the owner had a big scary white horse but he was nice. Also we had to help the cows get their heads out of the fence sometimes which I thought was funny and my little dog, Mona, loved to chase the cows. And I had the best tire-swing EVER!
- MuscleShoals, AL when I was 4 and I remember it was a pretty house with a fireplace and a nice patio where a cute greensnake would come and hang out with us. We had sunflowers that grew out back and that was the first time mom ever didn't work and I loved it.
- Knoxville, TN when I was 5. We had an awesome backyard at the end of a cul-de-sac and a little woods behind our house where I could roam. Mom stayed home the whole time we lived in Knoxville and was like June Cleaver- making cookies and playdough, homemade eggroll wrappers even and tofu! My baby brother was born here and my dad died here.
- My grandparents house in Ancon, Panama.
- A nasty apartment in France Field, Panama- where we could hear voodoo drums sometimes (really.) My brother got pushed off the slide by mean kids and we saw a hammerhead shark.
- CocoSolo, Panama- my favorite home. Right by the ocean and across the street was my elementary school.
- Margarita, Panama when they closed CocoSolo. Much nicer house.
- Watertown, New York- Day's Inn for 9 months until we found a house. I was 15 and got a little chubby for the first time in my life because we had to eat out every meal (think "SuperSize Me")
- House in Watertown (finally.) Not to offend anyone but wow, I hated Watertown.
- Back to Panama! Apartment on Davis by the gym (good for me- by now a workout freak.)
- College dorm
- Apartment where the train would shake my bed at night. (college)
- Apartment where I was scared someone would come in the long window (college)
- Home to finish college (see 12)
- Married life- apartment on the hill until we were evicted for having a dog (all 2 lbs of her.)
- First house together on Olive. We remodeled the whole thing on my teaching salary.
- This house!
As an added bonus (woo-hoo)
I'm adding TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TO STAVE OFF BOREDOM:
(Just a list kind of day I guess...)
- Have some kids, you'll never be bored again. (Believe me!)
- Have some more kids if you dare.
- Blog.
- Take a walk anywhere.
- Take a road trip anywhere (can you tell I'm a Saggitarius?)
- Make something yummy with/for someone you love.
- Plant a garden.
- Play in the mud with your favorite kids.
- Make playdough and play with it.
- Clean your computer's files (I've not been that bored in a LONG time.)
To join in on the fun go here.

We have worked with quite a few Medical groups as well as Tech companies. They are often surprised that we are somewhat well versed in their industry.
Extensive experience in medical photography. We have done photography in all types of environments. These have included DNA labs, medical research, hospitals, medical labs and clinics. A funny little secret to share is all those cool photos that you seen in the labs with the different color and the intensity of the scientist or researcher are contrived. Most labs are in some state of disarry and do not look anything like the photos. I am sure there are a few that do but I have never seen one. This provides a wonderful chance to make it look cool and leading edge. It is amazing what you can do with great lighting to make the dull sublime. Often these photos can make a great composite, (combining images). We have also photographed thousands of medical products from precision surgical instruments to aspirin bottles. We have developed a very efficient work flow that makes our work fast and of great quality.
This again is another example of leading edge industry where some of the things we photograph are of proprietary in nature and we can not share all of the projects we have worked on. If you need a professional photographer for medical photography, or technology or research please call us at 262-515-7309.

The government passed a law that allows every citizen to get a free annual credit report a few years ago. This law states that they can get their credit history because of the recent increase in identity theft. This free credit report is easily available online and will give you reports from all three of the credit reporting agencies. A credit score is not going to be provided in this instance for you to view.
Becoming financially free is something a lot of people can only dream of. The difference between dreaming and actually BECOMING free lies in taking action. You will learn all you need to be better at cutting through the crap and getting to the core. Happy reading...

Zoe Saldana Gropes Chelsea Handler's Breasts on 'Chelsea Lately' [VIDEO]
Zoe Saldana already has plenty of fanboy cred with a starring role in 'Avatar' and the upcoming shoot 'em up flick 'Columbiana.' But her appearance on 'Chelsea Lately' last night, in which she fondled host Chelsea Handler's chest, will probably make her even more popular.
"Your rack is, like, amazing," Saldana told Handler. "Can I touch them?"
After Handler agreed, Saldana reached out and gave the host's breasts a quick squeeze. "They're real," she said appreciatively. "They're really good."
"They're real. But … this is straight off of a weekend," Handler said, explaining her well-endowed look.

Eurico Ferreira Portugal concluded successfully the Uprating works in the Very High Voltage (VHV) Overhead Power Transmission Line, of 400 kV, between Falagueira and Cedillo, for REN - Redes Energéticas Nacionais.
This project is part of National Power Transmission Development Plan, it aims to increase the capacity of this transmission line, allowing its exploitation at a temperature of 85°C.This OPL is one of those that allows the interconnection with the Spanish power grid.
The project started May 2017 and lasted 4 months.
This Uprating contemplated the substitution of 14 prismatic modules, 29 supports and other 9 had been reinforced. Strain insulators, 14 Km of conductive cables and 24 km of guard wire were also substituted. The team also repositioned 24 km of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) and 6 km of ground wire conductors.
Facing a tight deadline, the Eurico Ferreira's team challenged major difficulties on the field, namely the high temperatures, closer to 40ºC, where fires had been registered.
Nonetheless, the resiliency and team's responsiveness stood out and all the obstacles were surpassed, allowing the team to reach the objectives and ensure the quality of service and de subsequent client's satisfaction.

Summary of Navigating Early (by Clare Vanderpool):
Jack Baker is suddenly uprooted from his Kansas home after his mother dies. He transfers to a Maine boarding school while his father, a military officer, finishes serving at the close of World War II. Early Auden, the strangest of boys, is also an outsider who has faced great loss. The two boys forge a friendship that takes them on a quest in search of the Great Appalachian Bear. Along the way, Early tells Jack of the fictional story of Pi which parallels their own physical and, often, personal journeys toward facing the loss and pain in their lives. A colorful cast of characters help make their quest memorable and poignant.
I read Vanderpool's debut (and Newbery winning) novel, Moon Over Manifest, so when I saw this new book on a couple other blogs, I knew I had to read it. Vanderpool has a gift for creating unforgettable characters and parallel multi-layered story lines. Navigating Early showcases both of these features.
Jack is a sort of "every boy." He struggles with fitting in and finding his place in school, in his family, and in life. Early, on the other hand, is rare and unforgettable. Jack commonly calls him "the strangest of boys" because Early's behaviors were not understood in that era. Though Early is highly intelligent and functional, he appears to be on the autism spectrum. His mannerisms and personality are endearing and, at time, humorous. I could not help loving him.
The main story line is Jack and Early's quest. Early creates a story to parallel the numbers in the mathematical pi. Pi, like Jack and Early, must go on a quest to earn his name. As Pi learns what it means to be a man and deal with loss and hardship so do Jack and Early—each in a different way. Even the minor characters they encounter have their own intertwined and satisfying stories.
Middle grade readers will be drawn to the boys' journey to find the Great Appalachian Bear. They will relate to Jack's and Early's characters as well as enjoy the fascinating other characters. I highly recommend Navigating Early for ages 8 and up.

Foods That Can Shrink Fibroids Naturally – If you've been diagnosed with noncancerous and small developments of the uterus referred to as Fibroids, you should take steps in changing your lifestyle and diet. Painful fibroids are causing infertility and even excessive bleeding. Fibroids removal can be done by Laproscopy if they are in large numbers and medication in minor cases. Even if the cause of having fibroids is still unknown, fibroid development is associated with estrogen hormone. Through medication, it suppresses or blocks estrogen for treating these painful fibroids. Gonadotropin, a releasing hormone, is an essential help in shrinking fibroids by 30% – 90%.
It is also considered that fibroids frequently shrink when women go through menopause. It is necessary to know foods that can shrink painful fibroids by reducing estrogen content. Fibroids are influenced by such hormonal changes in the body, most especially if there is an abundance of estrogen. There are foods that can shrink fibroids naturally in the market. Here are the lists of foods that can shrink fibroids naturally:
One of the foods that can shrink fibroids naturally is fish. Fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel helps calm swollen tissues. Fish contains fatty acids that aid in fibroid irritation and decreasing the inflammation of the uterine fibroids.
Whole Grains
One example of foods that can shrink fibroids naturally is whole grains. Rich whole grains help in increasing the dietary fiber. The fiber consumption helps balance the hormonal levels and helps flush out toxins from the body.
Organic veggies are a healthy source of food for treating fibroids. Women who suffer from painful fibroids must have organic vegetables like spinach and broccoli in their lifestyle and diet.
Apple Cider Vinegar
One spoon of apple cider vinegar can really do wonders in treating fibroids. You can mix it with your salad to help in detoxifying your system. Cleansing the kidneys and liver is one of the most significant things in order to have a healthy uterus.
It increases the liver levels supporting enzymes that are vital for phase 2 detoxification in the liver. It also promotes the bile production that helps shrink fibroids. This is one of the foods that can shrink fibroids naturally and adding a little of it in your food is essential.
Dandelion Root
If you really want to shrink your fibroids, you need to learn all foods that can shrink fibroids naturally. A cup of hot tea with a piece of dandelion root can help stimulate the bile production and help cleanse your liver.
Lean Meat
If you're not a vegetarian, it is needed to change your usual red meat and turn to white or lean meat. Red meat consumption like pork and beef increases the estrogen levels that can lead to fibroids growth.
Even if garlic has an unappetizing smell, it is essential for the uterus. It has antioxidants which discourage tumor developments. Technically, painful fibroids are tiny muscular tumors that can be shrunk and prevented by having garlic as one of the foods that can shrink fibroids naturally.

text: August 10, 2018 Allingham, Margery Tagged: Author (1904-1966) UK author, daughter of H J Allingham, best known for the long-running Albert Campion sequence of detective novels beginning with The Crime at Black Dudley (1929; vt The Black Dudley Murder 1930) and ending with The Mind Readers (1965). A further volume was completed after her death by her husband Philip Youngman Carter (1904-1969), who continued the series with two solo novels as Youngman Carter. Allingham was highly regarded as a "queen of crime" on a level with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers (1893-1957).Albert Campion adventures verging on the fantastic include Sweet Danger (1933; vt Kingdom of Death 1933; vt The Fear Sign 1961), whose McGuffin is the title to a tiny Ruritanian kingdom somewhere on the Adriatic coast, and Traitor's Purse (1941; vt The Sabotage Murder Mystery 1943), which afflicts Campion with Amnesia and features a plausible, narrowly averted World War Two plot to wreck Britain's economy with a huge influx of forged currency; the climax deploys a new wartime Invention, a super-explosive yielding devastating effects from a tiny, egg-sized grenade. The Mind Readers is a mystery in which a group of children communicate by a genuinely sf-like form of Technology-based Telepathy facilitated by the newly discovered Element nipponanium. Its exploitation by schoolboys distantly anticipates the Internet: trawling other minds for answers, to the detriment of mental health, rather than doing one's own classwork. Campion also appears in a number of short stories including the Christmas fantasy vignette "Word in Season" (in Mr Campion's Lady, omni 1965), in which his dog briefly acquires the power of human speech. Some non-Campion ghost stories are included in Mr Campion's Lucky Day and Other Stories (coll 1973).Mention should be made of Youngman Carter's first solo novel in the Albert Campion sequence, Mr Campion's Farthing (1969), based on an outline by Allingham: the hotly sought McGuffin of this quirky thriller is a Soviet-developed Drug that compels suicide.

macOS will not Support 32-bit Applications in Next year by the Start of 2018
Apple's Developer site on December 1st had shared a reminder that starting January 1st, 2018 32-bit Mac apps will no longer be accepted. After iOS 11 no longer accepts 32-bit applications, today's Mac will also start to abandon 32-bit applications.
Apple emphasized in the statement: Starting January 1, all new apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit architecture, while existing apps must be updated to 64-bit by June 2018. Apple recommends that if you distribute your app outside of the App Store you should update your app to run 64-bit as well. This is due to the fact that macOS High Sierra will be the last macOS release to support 32-bit architecture.
The macOS High Sierra will be the last operating system to support 32-bit apps. Apple has also suggested to developers that they would need to update their existing 32-bit apps to 64-bit before June 2018. The apps to be submitted after January 2018 should also be 64-bit ones.
Obviously, Apple is taking the "mandatory" approach of cleaning up 32-bit applications just like things happened in iOS 11. According to the relevant statistics company, 1.9 million 32-bit apps on iOS 11 had been eliminated by Apple, including 40 thousand games and in the rest of which are mostly education, entertainment and life apps. For Apple, whether it's iOS or macOS, to use 64-bit apps, meaning to make the device run faster and more smoothly, if you don't obey, you will be uprooted!
Apple also advised developers, on the other hand, if not through the Mac app store, developers launch applications, but also had better to use 64 – bit architecture, because after that, macOS High Sierra will be the last support 32-bit applications of the operating system.
Apple also shared its support site for distributing Mac apps:
As a reminder, new apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit starting January 2018, and Mac app updates and existing apps must support 64-bit starting June 2018. If you distribute your apps outside the Mac App Store, we highly recommend distributing 64-bit binaries to make sure your users can continue to run your apps on future versions of macOS. The last macOS release to support 32-bit apps without compromise is macOS High Sierra.

Patron Saint Peregrine
St. Peregrine is the Patron Saint of Cancer and his
feast is celebrated on May 1.
He lived during the thirteenth century and suffered
from cancer of the foot and leg. Jesus Christ appeared
to St. Peregrine while he slept and cured the cancer
in his foot. St. Peregrine was named the patron saint
of cancer because of his cure.
Chaplet of St. Peregine
The St. Peregrine chaplet includes a medal and three
groups of three beads for a total of nine beads. Many
people wear a St. Peregrine medal or a St. Peregrine
necklace while reciting the chaplet. They pray for his
intercession in curing a loved one from cancer or for
themselves if they are suffering from a form of cancer.
When praying the chaplet prayer to St. Peregrine, follow
these instructions:
On the medal, say a prayer to St. Peregrine (choose
from those below). On each group of three beads say
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. Conclude with
O God, in St. Peregrine you gave us an outstanding
example of faith and patience. We humbly ask you that,
by imitating him and by the help of his prayers, we
may believe more fully in your healing help, bear the
suffering of his life without wavering, and come with
joy to the peace of heaven. We ask this through Jesus
Christ, our Lord.
1. Saint Peregrine, you have given us an example
to follow; as a Christian you were steadfast in love;
as a Servite, you were faithful in service; as a penitent
you humbly acknowledged your sin; afflicted you bore
suffering with patience. Intercede for us, then, with
our heavenly Father so that we steadfast, humble and
patient may receive from Christ Jesus the grace we ask.
2. Oh great Saint Peregrine, you who have been called
"The Mighty" and "The Wonder-Worker"
because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained
from God for those who have had recourse to you. For
so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous
disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and
who had recourse to the source of all grace when the
power of man could do no more. You were favored with
the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal
your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of
these sick persons whom we entrust to you.
Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we
shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song
of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen
3. Dear Apostle of Emilia and member of the Order
of Mary, you spread the Good News by your word and by
your life witnessed to its truth. In union with Jesus
crucified, you endured excruciating sufferings so patiently
as to be healed miraculously of cancer in the leg. If
it is agreeable to God, obtain relief and cure for {name
of patient} and keep us all from the dread cancer of
sin. Amen.
4. O glorious wonder worker, Saint Peregrine, you
who answered the divine call with a ready spirit, forsaking
all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty
honors of the world, to dedicate yourself to God in
the Order of His most Holy Mother; you who labored manfully
for the salvation of souls, merting the title Apostle
of Emilia; you who in union with Jesus crucified, endured
the most painful sufferings with such patience so as
to deserve to be miraculously healed from an incurable
wound in your leg by Him with a touch of His divine
hand: obtain for us, we pray, the grace to answer every
call from God; enkindle in our hearts a consuming zeal
for the salvation of souls; deliver us from the infirmities
that so often afflict our bodies; and obtain for us
the grace of perfect resignation to the sufferings which
may be sent to us; so may we, imitating your virtues
and tenderly loving our crucified Lord and his sorrowful
Mother, be enabled to merit glory everlasting in paradise.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Nonresident Travel Spending Contributes to Six Montana Travel Regions
An analysis recently completed at the University of Montana highlights the economic contribution of nonresident travel spending to each of the six travel regions in Montana. Assistant Director of Economic Analysis Kara Grau with the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research said the analysis also highlights 18 of the state's 56 counties:
"We did a study again this year. We looked at how much money is being spent by nonresident travelers in Montana," Grau said. "Specifically, we looked at how that shakes out among the six travel regions in the state as well as 18 of the 56 counties in Montana. We were able to do an individual study for those counties as well."
Grau said again this year, the most visitors spending occurs around Yellowstone.
"That park is the biggest draw in the state most of the time," Grau said. "We do collect this data year round and we have been doing so since July of 2009. But the regions right around Glacier National Park are always pretty close behind. Certain travel regions have had quite a jump. Overall, the trend is definitely an upward one across the board."
Grau said Missoula County brought in $162 million of economic activity that was supported by $235 million spending by nonresident travelers, people that Grau said are people from outside Montana.
