I'm commuting between work by bike again. I signed up in 2016 as a member of the Toronto Bike Share, and renewed again this month. Their call centre operation is weird, with a call center that presents options for English and Spanish. This being the country where English and French are the official languages, I have an idea of what that means. I haven't had a problem with their support when needed, at least.
I would have gotten him to sign my Kindle.
16 easy steps!
As a streak of 561 days in a row of playing Ingress comes to an end, I've decided to quit.
A summary of my trip to Gravenhurst, Ontario on July 15th, 2016.
Today was my first Bike Share Toronto commute, and I made as many blunders as possible. I added a few extra minutes by figuring out how to take a bike out, walking (not biking) from King to Adelaide, dodging trucks parked in the bike lane while properly crossing old streetcar tracks, turning into a one-way street, and getting turned around at least once, maybe twice. Next time I'm just going to turn right onto Church.
I'm not a big comics guy, but I did read Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud just recently, so I'm determined to get a glimpse of the medium. This'll be a start.
I met Douglas Coupland! I had known for a while about his project to 3D scan and print each and every Canadian (minus those who couldn't make it to their local branch of a Quebec-based fashion retailer) for an installation he will later make. I was finally able to do it this weekend. I know one of his collaborators, John Biehler, so it occurred to them to scan me both wearing the Blue Jays cap I showed up in and one without. Everybody who gets scanned will get a copy of themselves, and, lucky me, I get two.

West Coast emcee Ryu Maginn may sound like some up and comer on the hip hop scene, no he ain't part of Street Fighter, either. But to those who are in the know of the culture, he is deeply rooted in the hip hop diaspora, starting out in the 90s underground hip hop group, Styles of Beyond and then in the…Continue

When a lion roars, the jungle stops and stays completely still. Whether it's out of fear, whether it's surprise, or out of sheer respect, only the beasts of the wilderness know. In Hip-hop there has never been a more dominant, more ferocious roar commanding that same respect and instilling that same terror…Continue

The Parish Magazine appears once a month and is sold in Saint Nicolas' Church or at Saint Nicolas' Place on The Green for £1. If you don't want to collect it in person, we can send your magazine to you. If you live in the parish, you can also ask to have it delivered by hand. For readers who live further away, a 12 month postal subscription costs £20 (£1.67 per copy).
The Magazine serves both the church and the wider community. It combines a broad range of articles, many of them written by local people, about life in this corner of Birmingham, past and present. Since February 2017, our detailed, monthly "What's On" guide for Kings Norton has offered a wealth of information about local clubs, societies and activities and continues to grow. David Ash, the editor is always on the look-out for new talent: if you would like to contribute to a future edition, please contact him via the Parish Office.
We want you to go on buying the printed magazine, so we don't make it available here until two months after it is published. The links on the right will enable you to explore all our recent issues.

The PFSC supports the vision and efforts of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University to promote the wellbeing of children everywhere and the importance of nurturing collaborative international relationships between groups sharing similar aspirations.
The mission of the Center on the Developing Child is to drive science-based innovation that achieves breakthrough outcomes for children facing adversity. Advances in science provide a powerful source of new ideas focused on the early years of life. Founded in 2006, the Center uses that knowledge to catalyze local, national, and international innovation in policy and practice focused on children and families. The Center seeks transformational impacts on lifelong learning, behavior, and both physical and mental health by collaborating with a broad network of research, practice, policy, community, and philanthropic leaders to design, test, and implement new, science-based strategies.
The Center's diverse activities align around building an R&D (research and development) platform for science-based innovation, and transforming the policy and practice landscape that supports and even demands change. Society pays a huge price when children do not reach their potential, because half a century of policies and programs have not produced breakthrough outcomes, and because dramatic advances in science are ready to be used to achieve a promising future for every child. To that end, the Center works to create innovation-friendly environments in which practitioners, researchers, policymakers, parents, and investors can come together to test new ideas, engage in active learning, and solve complex problems.

The Ultimate Runway
For over two decades, Austin Film Festival has been catapulting writers into life-changing careers. With one of the most noteworthy competitions among Hollywood tastemakers, AFF consistently yanks newcomers from the isolation of their desks and ushers them into the bustling world of film and television. Whether your dream is to sign a contract, land an agent, learn from an industry icon, or take home the coveted Bronze Typewriter Award, it's simple: you can't win if you don't enter.
A Handcrafted Competition
Though AFF is one of the largest and most respected screenplay competitions, every entrant receives personalized attention and multiple reads throughout the process. All entrants receive FREE "Reader Comments" which are a brief, overall summary of their notes. As an added bonus, for Second Rounders (the top 15% in each category) and above, entrants receive further comments from 2-3 readers. AFF goes the extra mile to send both postal mail and e-mail notifications to ensure everyone knows their placement in the competition. Finally, Second Rounders may also find a personalized, handwritten note in their notification letter from the Screenplay Competition Director!
You'll Get Back Way More Than You Bargained For
Not only do all entrants receive registration discounts, but you get larger discounts when you place in the competition. Unlike other screenplay competitions, your experience with AFF doesn't end after making the first cut. Second Rounders, Semifinalists, and Finalists attend exclusive panels, intimate roundtable discussions, script reading workshops, and are afforded special access to industry professionals. 2015 Second Rounders and above attended workshops about: how to find representation, demystifying the development process, and how successful alumni from the competition made the most of their placement. Additionally, a favorite event of entrants, Second Rounders and above were invited to the Screenwriters' Happy Hour presented by Nickelodeon where they networked with other writers, Nickelodeon execs, and competition judges.
2016 Semifinalists and Finalists had the opportunity to meet with several agents, managers, and executives, and participate in our Script Reading Workshops where their scripts were read aloud and workshopped in a personalized setting during the Conference. Furthermore, Semifinalists and Finalists' loglines and contact information are also included in the annual Producer's Book, distributed to all AFF panelists as well as over 400 agents, managers, producers, and other industry professionals.
At the Semifinalist level and above, judges—including professional writers and representatives from major studios and production companies—actively seek scripts and talent. In past years, these judges have included representatives from Oasis Media Group, Mosaic Media, AMC, ABC Studios, Paradigm Agency, Di Bonaventura Pictures, Kopelson Entertainment, Nickelodeon, Escape Artists at Sony, Sony Pictures Animation, Washington Square Arts, Fourth Floor Productions, Haven Entertainment, Artisan, CAA, Brant Rose Agency, WME, DreamWorks, and Pixar among others.
Signing Deals and Launching Projects
AFF's Screenplay & Teleplay Competition is one of the most acclaimed contests within the industry for establishing the careers of up-and-coming writers. It's no surprise that past competition entrants have signed with major agencies and have had their scripts optioned, acquired, and produced by signatory production companies. Most recently, Wes Brown, 2014 winner of the AMC One-Hour Pilot Award, has staffed on the upcoming AMC television series Goliath; Troy Miller, the 2013 winner of the Horror Screenplay Award, had his winning script optioned by Frank Darabont's Darkwoods Productions; at the 2014 Festival, AFF presented the world premiere of Dawn Patrol, a film produced from a 2008 Finalist script written by Rachel Long and Brian Pittman that was acquired by Enderby Entertainment; and Amy Aniobi, 2011 Semifinalist, has been hired to write for HBO's Silicon Valley.
Not Ready to Submit? Try Our Coverage Program First!
AFF's Coverage Program provides a detailed, constructive evaluation of your script and at $100 for feature scripts and $80 for teleplays, it's a frugal expense for a potential life-changing return on investment. The final deadline for competition submissions isn't until May 20. So, with a turnaround time of 60 days, don't wait too long to send your script. You'll want to give yourself plenty of time to apply our feedback before submitting it in the competition. To submit your coverage request, visit www.austinfilmfestival.com.
A Message from Matt Dy, Screenplay Competition Director
Regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or background, AFF champions all writers and looks for a strong original voice above all. From the indie to the mainstream, we strive to ensure that unique, compelling stories rise to the top and get the recognition they deserve. We are invested in your success and want to help you grow as a writer whether or not you advance in the competition. If you have a story to tell, YOU are important to AFF. Send us your best and let your voice be heard!
Notification: Notifications for all entrants will be sent by mid-September
Awards range from $1000-$5000 per winner. Winners also receive reimbursement of roundtrip airfare (up to $500, excluding frequent flyer miles); hotel reimbursement at the Film Festival (up to $500); and the AFF Bronze Typewriter Award.

November 24th, 2015
Ontario NDP Critic for Community and Social Services Sarah Campbell demanded Premier Wynne and the Liberal government take action to help Northern Ontario families facing increasing poverty.
"This week we learned that poverty and homelessness continue to grow in Northern Ontario. This Liberal government's rhetoric and record on homelessness and poverty simply don't match up," Campbell said.
In Sudbury, the homeless population has more than doubled since 2009. Almost one percent of Sudbury's population is homeless. Rates of homelessness and poverty in North Bay and Timmins are higher than the rest of the Canada.
"This government is failing vulnerable people, families, and children in Northern Ontario. Will the premier admit that her inaction is forcing marginalized people in Northern Ontario to pay the price?"
While indigenous people only represent about 8.2 per cent of the population in Sudbury, they represent about 43 per cent of the homeless population.
"More than half of people at risk of homelessness have mental or physical health problems. 182 homeless people in Sudbury are children under the age of 18. The premier must acknowledge that this is unacceptable. This government's neglect of vulnerable people in Northern Ontario is atrocious," Campbell said.
"Will the premier admit that she is failing families and children in Northern Ontario and tell us what her government is doing about it?

Butler, M876 Penn Ave, San Lorenzo, (Calif. 94530, and De Lass L. Marsh, 2112 Revere Ava, Hay ward, Calif. 94544 Filed Oct. 18, 1965, filer. No. 497,293 8 @lairns. (Cl. 46-475) This invention is directed to a noise rnakin repeating water gun and particularly to a noise making gun which can be operated both with and without water and yet have noise making characteristics.
Water guns are well known in the art, and such guns are of a number of different designs. Such designs include single shot guns, wherein all of the water in the gun is contained in the cylinder to be discharged, multiple shot guns wherein a reservoir is provided and multiple actuations of a piston provides multiple water discharges from the gun nozzle. in the latter case, there are the more conventional guns wherein reciprocation of the operating mechanism by finger action on the gun trigger produces multiple discharges and those few guns where rotation of an operating handle causes a cam to reciprocate the water discharge piston. In none of these guns is there any noise making function to go along with the discharge of water therefrom. Furthermore, these guns are all primarily arranged for use with Water so that without the presence of water therein they are completely ineffective in provid ing more than the appearance of a gun.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a noise making water gun which both produces repeating sounds and produces multiple water discharges when there is water in the reservoir of the gun.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a noise making repeating water gun which makes repetitive noise even in the absence of water therein.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a noise making water gun which has a rotary operating mechanism which drives cam structure and such cam structure repeatedly both makes sound and operates a water discharge piston for the repeated production of sound, and repeated water discharge when there is water in the gun reservoir.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a piston driving cam which is operative to make sound and drive the piston in one direction, and does not cause damage to the internal structure when driven in the other direction.
It is another object of this invention to provide a noise making repeating water gun which acts as a noise making gun both with and without water discharge therefrom, and provides such a gun of economic and useful construction and having long life.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a study of the following portion of this specification, the claims and the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the noise making repeating water gun of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial, enlarged section taken generally vertically along the longitudinal direction thereof;
FIG. 3 is a partial section taken generally vertically along the longitudinal direction of another embodiment of the noise making repeating water gun of this invention;
FIG. 4 is a section taken generally along the line 44 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a partial left side elevational view of the further embodiment of the noise making repeating water gun of this invention; and
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of the cam used in this embodiment of the Water gun.
As an aid to understanding this invention it can be stated in essentially summary form that it is directed to a noise making repeating water gun. The water gun of this invention has general configuration of a conventional gun, and may be formed to appear either as a repeating pistol, a shoulder held gun or a tripod mounted gun or other configuration. The noise making repeating water gun has a reservoir therein adapted to supply water to a cylinder which discharges the water in repeating bursts from the muzzle end of the gun. The operating mechanism comprises a crank or the rotary drive structure externally of the gun for operation by the gun user. This rotary drive structure extends internally of the gun and turns a cam. The cam has at least one lobe thereon. The cam lobe acts to withdraw the water discharge piston from the cylinder, and at a certain point of rotation of the cam, the piston is released so that it may be driven back into the cylinder. Piston drive means comprises a spring which has one end mounted in the stationary gun structure and the other end engaged upon the piston. Furthermore, the spring is mounted within a sounding chamber and is arranged so that when the cam releases the piston the spring drives the piston forward and at the terminal part of the motion engages against the side of the sound ing chamber to make a sharp sound. The forward portion, or barrel portion of the gun comprises a reservoir. A cylinder is mounted in the reservoir. The cylinder has a nozzle discharge port at the front end thereof and an inlet port at the side. When the piston is Withdrawn from the cylinder, it is outward past the inlet port so that the cylinder gravitationally fills. Thus, reciprocation of the piston causes repeated water discharges from the nozzle discharge of the cylinder.
In the further embodiment of the water gun, as is shown in FIGS. 4 through 6, the water discharge structure is the same as in the preferred embodiment. However, the noise making cam has axial cam steps thereon and these cam steps successively engage with and release a sounding board integrally formed but flexible with respect to the receiver. The sounding board strikes the magazine to make repetitive sounds.
This invention will be understood in greater detail by reference to the following portion of this specification wherein the drawings are described. Referring now to FIG. 1, the noise making repeating water gun of this invention is generally indicated at lil. Gun 10 has the general outline configuration of a shoulder held repeating gun. Thus, it has stock 12, hand grip l4, trigger guard 16, receiver 18, magazine 20, barrel 2'2 and forward hand grip 24.
It is clear that these various parts are identified by their functional names in a real, operative weapon. Furthermore, it is clear that the several parts can be rearranged, modified or omitted so as to provide a noise making repeating water gun it) of a different external appearance, without departing from the functional characteristics of this invention. Thus, the external configuration shown in gun 10 is merely illustrative and the structure may be employed in a repeating hand gun, a shoulder held repeating gun of different configuration, or in a tripod mounted gun or the like. Furthermore, while the several parts have been identified by their functional names in a conventional weapon, they do not necessarily serve for the same functional purpose in the gun lit. For example, magazine 20 is a multiple supply of loaded cartridges in a conventional gun, while in the gun It) magazine 2t? serves as a sounding box. for the noise making capabilities of gun iii.
Barrel 22 is substantially closed so as to provide a water reservoir 26. Reservoir 26 has a top 23. Top 28 has a water fill opening 38 so that water may be placed therein. Reservoir 26 also has a back wall 32 which prevents water from entering into the mechanical operating structure of gun 10. At the bottom of reservoir 26, tube 34 is formed integrally with bottom wall 36 so as to define a water jet discharge passage. Tube 34 has back wall 38 and is open at muzzle end 40 of gun 10.
Cylinder 42 is positioned to extend through opening 44 in back wall 32 and opening 46 in wall 38. Cylinder 42 has a cylindrical bore 48 which is open for full diameter from piston end 50 to nozzle orifice 52. Nozzle orifice 52 extends into tube 34. Cylinder 42 has inlet openings 54 and 56 through the walls thereof so that reservoir 26 is in open communication therethrough to the interior of the cylinder defined by bore 48. Openings 54 and 56 are toward the end of cylinder 42 more closely adjacent nozzle orifice 52, but are spaced therefrom. Openings 54 and 56 are sufficiently large so as to permit quick gravity flow of water from reservoir 26 into the interior of cylinder 42.
Positioned within cylinder 42 is piston 58. Piston 58 has a cylindrical exterior surface throughout a major portion of its length which reasonably, closely engages cylindrical bore 48. An easy slip fit is provided, so that piston 58 can work in bore 48 and yet provide a minimum of leakage of water out of piston end 50. Piston 58 has face 60 which enters into bore 48 past openings 54 and 56 to the point where the bore 48 reduces to terminate in nozzle orifice 52. As is hereafter described, piston 58 is withdrawn sufiiciently far that face 68 is withdrawn past openings 54 and 56 and is shown in dotted lines. In this position the water can flow into the openings 54 and 56 and into the end of the cylinder. Piston 58 carries a head 62 of cylindrical form and of larger diameter than the piston portion of piston 58.
Hollow, substantially rectangular magazine 20 has a front wall 64 and a rear wall 66. Spring securing means '68 is secured adjacent rear wall 66. Magazine 20 is open at the top into receiver 18 and is open at the bottom. Side walls are provided to enclose the sides of magazine 20 and to make it a proper resonance chamber.
Leaf spring has a fixed leg 72 which lies between spring securing means 68 and rear wall 66. Spring 70 also has a striking leg 74 which lies against the inside of wall 64 by means of internal spring stress when the spring is not deflected, in the position shown in full lines in FIG. 2. Spring 70 has an engaging end 76 which engages over head 62 to urge piston 58 to the right, to the solid line position shown.
Drive shaft 78 is mounted through receiver 18 and carries crank 80 on the exterior of the receiver. Thus, by actuation of crank 80, shaft 78 rotates. Cam 82 is mounted on shaft 78 to rotate with shaft 78. Cam 82 is mounted on the interior of receiver 18 between the walls thereof and is arranged so that its plane substantially contains the cylindrical axis of piston 58. Cam 82 has a cylindrical exterior surface 84 which is of such diameter with respect to piston head 62 that there is a slight clearance therebetween. Cam 82 also has drive lug 86 positioned thereon and extending past cylindrical surface 84. The
'outer surface 88 of cam lug 86 is such that it just clears the exterior cylindrical surface of piston 53. Drive face 90 is planar and is parallel to a radial line extending from the center of shaft 78 through the center of lug 86. Back face 92 is also planar and is parallel to face 90. More than one drive lug 86 can be provided on cam 82, and in FIG. 2 drive lugs 94 and 96 are also indicated. As is shown, drive lugs 86, 94 and 96 are equally spaced around cam 82. A smaller or larger number than three such drive lugs can be used, as long as there are not so many that the succeeding drive lug does not interfere with the action of piston 58 resulting from the operation of the previous drive lug.
The back face 92 is preferably parallel to the drive face 90 so that inadvertent reverse rotation of cam 82 does not cause damage to the gun operating structure. Instead, reverse rotation of cam 82 is prevented by engagement of the face 92 with spring engaging end 76 and by engagement of piston 58 in the bottom of cylinder 42. Thus, the entire structure is rigid, and no damage can result from an effort at reverse rotation. Instead, this firmness suggests to the operator that the crank be turned in the other, forward direction.
In operation, the user of gun 10 picks it up, and turns crank 80 in a clockwise direction as is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Such operation turns cam 82 so that drive face 90 engages under head 62. Continued turning of shaft 78 causes leftward motion of piston 58 by such engagement of drive face 90. As piston 58 is withdrawn from the solid line to the dotted line positions, spring 70 is flexed to its dotted line position. Slight further turning of cam 82 carries drive lug 86 out of the path of the head 62 so that head 62 is released. Thereupon spring 70 urges head 62 and piston 58 to the right from the dotted line position to the full line position. When striking leg 74 of the spring 70 engages on the interior of front wall 64 of the resonance chamber designated as magazine 20, a sharp noise is emitted. Continued turning of cam 82 continuously repeats this process.
When water is placed into reservoir 26 through water fill opening 30, water is available around inlet openings 54 and 56. Thus, when piston 58 is moved to the left by the action of one of the drive lugs, openings 54 and 56 are uncovered as the piston is moved out of the full line position. When these openings are opened, water gravitationally fills the chamber formed at the right hand end of cylinder 42 and defined by the interior cylindrical wall 48, face 60 and the reduced end of the cylinder defined by nozzle orifice 52. Under these conditions, when the drive lug releases head 62, spring 70 urges piston 58 to the right and water is emitted from openings 54 and 56 until the space 60 passes these openings. Thereupon the water is pressurized in the end of the cylinder and is discharged from nozzle orifice 52. Such discharge is directed centrally down tube 34 and is discharged out of the muzzle end thereof. Thus, continued turning of crank 80 and cam 82 causes repeated reciprocation of piston 58 and rapping of striking leg 74. Thus, repeated noise is created and if water is present in reservoir 26 repeated discharge of water out of nozzle 52. Thus, gun 10 creates both noise and discharge effects.
In the alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 through 5, the water gun of this invention is generally indicated at 100. The Water gun 100 comprises stock 102, hand grip 104, trigger guard 106, receiver 108, magazine and barrel 112. These parts are virtually identical to the similar structure of gun 10. Barrel 112 contains reservoir 114 which is closed all around and fillable from the top similar to the reservoir 26. Reservoir 114 has a back wall 116 which defines the rear end of the reservoir 114 and a tube 118 which provides a water outlet passage. Tube 118 terminates in back wall 120. Pump cylinder 122 is positioned in openings in walls 116 and and is identical to the cylinder 42.
Piston 124 is reciprocable in cylinder 42 so as to pump water out of the nozzle therein as has been previously described. Piston 124 carries head 126 which is arranged for driving the piston, as is hereinafter described. Piston 124 extends rearwardly from head 126 and extends through guide 128 formed in the rear end of receiver 108. Compression spring 130 is positioned around the portion of piston 124 between head 126 and guide 128. This spring urges the piston 124 to the right so as to discharge water out of the nozzle in cylinder 122.
Cam 132 has drive lugs 134 positioned thereon. Cam 132 is mounted on shaft 136 which extends through receiver 108 and has crank 138 formed on the end, exterior of the receiver. Cam 132 is fixed to shaft 136 so that it rotates when the crank 138 is rotated. The exterior 140 of cam 132 is circular, except for the drive lugs 134 projecting beyond this circular exterior, and is so positioned that it just clears the exterior of head 126. Drive lugs 134 preferably have a cylindrical exterior surface which just clears the exterior of piston 124. Thus, as previously described with respect to the embodiment of gun 10, when the crank is turned the piston reciprocates to repeatedly discharge water from the nozzle in cylinder 122.
The noise making structure of gun 100 comprises striker 142 which has ridge 144 normally in resilient engagement with the side of magazine 110. Striker 142 is integrally formed with the side of receiver 108 and is divided therefrom by side slots 1'46 and 148 to provide adequate resiliency. Striker 142 has cam follower 150 integrally formed on the inner face thereof, Cam follower 166 faces the side of cam 132. Cam 132 in this embodiment has axially formed spiral cam slopes thereon. Three such slopes are provided and are positioned so that they correspond with the three drive lugs 134. As is seen in FIG. 6, the three spiral axially formed cam slopes reach maximum axial position at 152, 154 and 156 and each is followed by an axial shoulder, one of which is seen in FIG. 4 at 158. Thus, upon rotation of shaft 136 by crank 138, the cam 132 turns. The cam slopes successively come into engagement with cam follower 150 and cause bending of striker 142 away from magazine 110 so that ridge 144 is not in contact with the magazine. As the cam 132 rotates and the axial shoulder following each rise is reached, cam follower 150 snaps off of the shoulder, and ridge 144 sharply strikes the side of magazine 110 to cause a proper, realistic sound. The hollow configuration and open bottom of magazine 110 act as a resonance chamber to amplify the sound. Thus, as the crank 138 is turned, the sound is repeated and the piston repeatedly reciprocates. Damage upon reverse turning of crank 138 is prevented by one of the shoulders, for example shoulder on the side of cam follower 150 to prevent further turning. Thus, it is seen that the water gun 1% functions similarly and is of similar construction to water gun 10.

Urmas Vadi Named Writer of the Year ({{commentsTotal}})
Urmas Vadi was declared Writer of the Year yesterday at the Liivi Museum in Alatskivi.
Vadi, a Tartu resident, was praised for his novel "Back to Estonia." The literature event where the award was presented has been held only since 2010 and is financed by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, reported uudised.err.ee.
Commenting on the overall quality of new works coming out, the judging committee, led by Mihkel Kunnus, expressed dismay over what they said is an overabundance of bad new literature in Estonia.
"There are a lot of literature-esque products. For example, around 100 original works of prose are published each year, many of which do not endure criticism at all and it is actually very difficult for readers to orient themselves. In Estonian literature there is an avalanche [of new material], but the problem is the quality," Kunnus told ERR radio.
Vadi agreed with this, suggesting that book stores should have review catalogs so that readers can read critiques before they decide to make a purchase.
"I think that could be one thing that could help readers stay afloat and make a decision. The recommendations of writers themselves, as well as those of critics and researchers, would certainly be helpful," Vadi said.
"A lot of junk gets published and one has to be quite knowledgeable to navigate through it and find the right thing. Often there are these heartbroken ladies who decide to publish their work before their 50th birthday - it is so awful; you can recognize it from far away," Vadi said.

Hi Pat -
Yes, I know about your lineage. If you wish to review the file to see what you might consider adding, let me know and I will send it to you. I, too, am verydissappointed by Elton's documentation on this line, which is not even remotely his lineage.
He did that without consulting me and I fear he relied too heavily upon the late Hubert Lacey's work and a Fritts lady in Arkansas, unfortunately. I suspect it was mostly about creating books from their point of view and getting his name in print as the 'expert', but that is just my humble opinion.
But be that as it may, we can correct it to ensure that others will not be misled. BTW, not many people know this but Elton's first genealogy website was one that I gave him lock, stock and barrel. It was a proven model, very popular with tons of data and one that was featured on the NBC Today Show. But he changed it all up and made it something that was easily forgettable with error filled data.
Such is life....

Johannesburg - The assault trial against ANC Youth League Limpopo member Clifford Mohloana was struck off the roll in the Polokwane Regional Court on Thursday.Mohloana allegedly assaulted freelance journalist Chester Makana during the ANC's provincial elective conference in December.Magistrate Pasquale found that there was insufficient evidence to proceed."The State has said during the previous appearance it will be ready for trial today and now we have been here for two hours and the State still asks for a postponement to do further investigations," defence attorney Tumi Mokoena told the court earlier."It means the State is still not ready," he said in requesting that the matter be struck.State prosecutor Melvin Mathaba had asked for a postponement to allow police to submit video footage showing the assault of Makana and the medical certificate detailing his injuries.Makana later said he was unhappy with the police's shabby investigation."There is sufficient evidence which they failed to bring to court. Two witnesses were not even contacted by police," he said. Mohloana's attorney Mokoena said it was clear the State had no case against his client."We were ready for trial and the State is not ready. They must go back and do further investigations and call us again," Mokoena said.Mohloana allegedly hit Makana on the head with a brick.At the time, Makana was investigating allegations that fake voting cards were being manufactured to be used by delegates in the elective conference.
Looks like the police had his back. It's a pity that their reputation means nothing to them.
it's amazing how many cases the 'state' hasn't prepared for - and how many crimes go unpunished as a result..why should they fear the law, it means nothing to them..
It's the way the CancER party get to retain some level of control until the Secrecy bill and the constitution is changed to suit their need to dominate everything absolutely. I understand that on the off chance that Jesus does return, they have issued s warrant for his immediate arrest and incarceration. If he is White then they will crucify him for defying them. If he is black they will suspend him on full pay somewhere distant and out of touch with the people!!!!!
lol the justice system is a joke
It looks like the police are bought on this one, no evidence when the whole assault was on SABC News for everyone to see? I give up on SA justice system.
That is why even hardened criminals are walking our streets. SAPS are quick to open cases but lazy to invesitigate. justicd for anc croocks. now I rest my case
Makana, Mokoena, Mathaba, Mohloana... Ma ma Mia.
Another case of video evidence being insufficient. I had heard that justice was blind but this is rediculous
Its called selective blindness and is very common in South Africa. Seems to be REALY prevalent in high ranking officials. No known medical cure.
They will say it was dark,they couldnt see the witness list!It seems like all other government departments the police cannot manage to do their jobs!!! Anc-the 12 mil you spent on birthday celebrations you could have bought these poor officers paper and pen so they could summons witnesses! For goodness sake get it together!
Why is anyone suprised? Surely you know that the law only applies to non ANC supporters?!
So many thugs in the Police. So many thugs in the anc
I dont whether to cry or laugh. I will do a combination of both a little bit later.
The Police are incompetant. They do not know how to investigate, they are lazy and know nothing about the law. Slowly they are becoming ZANUPFed, nothing but an armed militia for the powers that be in the ruling party.

Beautiful furniture is a living art which we can enjoy everyday. Solid wood is at the heart of this art and its beauty is unsurpassed by any artificial material. Because wood is alive, the best finish is one which is totally natural and organic. Our solid wood furniture is finished with natural herbal ingredients and is therefore unique in its appearance and charm. Our herbal finish preserves the natural colour of the wood surface in its raw state. All grains, joineries, and construction details are exposed as honestly as possible without compromising the durability and convenience aspects that today's modern lifestyle requires.
Trees - The Balance of Life, The Beauty of Nature
Trees are the living jewels of earth. Our inspiration in designing and making furniture comes from trees around the world. We select our trees from plantation forests and only create products which we can cherish beyond a lifetime. We believe that making exceptional products which we can enjoy for generations to come is the ultimate respect we can give to trees and nature.
Because of our passion in making solid wood furniture, we have spent years researching and developing our own herbal finishing process. The finishing process of any solid wood furniture is similar to giving the wood a new skin. Our approach to finishing is inspired by the trees' growth process. Not only are herbal colours more beautiful than artificial colours, they are better accepted by the cells of the wood. Natural pigments, such as chlorophyls, are very compatible to the hemicellulose and lignin cellular structure of wood. The natural aroma of wood combined with herbal scents will make any room healthy.

WWE Top 5 Worst of the Week: Sheamus, Kane and More!September 16, 2012
WWE Top 5 Worst of the Week: Sheamus, Kane and More!
First things first, I'd like to wish a speedy recovery to Jerry "The King" Lawler.
After seeing his Tout (the first time that thing has been useful!), it looks like he's doing much better and can hopefully rejoin the broadcast in no time.
Raw on Monday was among the scariest hours of wrestling I'd ever seen. Michael Cole, Bret Hart, CM Punk and, yes, John Cena should be applauded for how they handled the rest of the show.
In fact, that may have been one of the best promos I'd ever seen from Cena. By the end of the night, it was an afterthought though, which is completely understandable.
Here we take a look at the other happenings on Raw and SmackDown. There was quite a bit to take in as WWE made their last push towards Night of Champions.
Did they succeed? Did they fail? You'll have to read on to find out. Here is WWE's Top 5 Worst Moments of the Week for September 9-15.
5. Night of Champions Thrown Together
Before Monday's show, there were only four advertised matches for NOC.
Considering there are six titles, it should have been a priority to advertise the entire card further in advance.
First off, the tag title match was switched on Raw, when we found out it would be Kane and Daniel Bryan taking on the tag champs instead of the Primetime Players.
The Intercontinental and US Title matches were question marks until two days before the show. That's 33 percent of the matches being unadvertised.
The Miz gets a four-way match, and we still don't know who Cesaro will face. In fact, we were only told on Smackdown who two of the men in the battle royal are going to be.
Is WWE having trouble finding people who would even bother trying to fight for the U.S. Title?
With an extra hour of Raw every week, it should be easy enough to tell us who's going to be wrestling on the upcoming pay-per-view. Apparently they may need another hour to try and squeeze that in.
4. The Champions Suck
Unless your name is Sheamus or Layla, it was a bad week to be a champion.
Kofi lost to Kane in just over two minutes. Miz lost twice this week. Antonio Cesaro lost a tag match and was beat down by Brodus Clay. And the WWE Champion, CM Punk, got laid out by Bret Hart after John Cena destroyed him on the mic.
If WWE is trying to make their champions seem legitimate heading into Night of Champions, they failed pretty spectacularly.
Sometimes matches just don't need to be booked.
A good example of this is any match where the Intercontinental and U.S. champion are booked to lose. For some reason this has happened quite often lately.
Why should we care who wins the secondary titles when the men who have them lose so often?
Night of Champions is the name of the next pay-per-view. The titles should be protected heading into that show, to make it seem like winning a title is a big deal.
As an aside, the heels overall had a pretty lousy week, going 3-10 against the faces.
Aren't people supposed to pay to see their heroes get revenge at the pay-per-view? Instead they're paying to see the face beat up on the heel again.
3. Brogue Kick Ban
Sheamus has won his last four televised matches using the Texas Cloverleaf. So why does it matter that he can't use the Brogue kick anymore?
At this point, the Cloverleaf is 100 percent effective in finishing a match. Those are some pretty good odds.
He looks like he's doing just fine without it as his regular finisher. I guess the only question is whether he'll get mad enough at Del Rio at the pay-per-view and use the Brogue kick in the match.
But why can't Sheamus just use a different finishing move? The Celtic Cross worked just fine for him before.
What about Hogan's big boot, would he get disqualified for that? How about a Stunner? The Torture Rack? Sliced Bread No. 2?
2. Kane and the "Rotting Eviscerated Corpse" of Daniel Bryan
After Lawler collapsed on Raw, it left the audience wondering if we would get an update hearing that The King had died.
It was impossible to get wrapped up in the storylines again.
As WWE was dealing with a real life crisis backstage, they cut to a segment with Kane, Daniel Bryan and Dr. Shelby.
Fans probably weren't in the mood for comedy, but as they say, the show must go on.
Kane and Bryan began to argue, and Kane made a comment about Bryan's body becoming a "rotting eviscerated corpse."
If it was live (which it appeared to be), it was an unfortunate line. If it was a pre-tape, it would have been nice had that not aired.
With fans not knowing the fate of Jerry Lawler's life, it wasn't a good moment to be talking about death in a backstage comedy segment.
Kane shouldn't be blamed for what he said. It was a slip.
It was unfortunate, but considering the surreal nature of what was going on in real life, I can't imagine anyone trying to play their role as if nothing had happened.
Mistakes happen, but it was still a bad moment.
1. Sheamus and His Lawyer
They said it couldn't be done.
They said no one could be lamer than Santino. No one would possibly replace Santino's record of three weeks in a row at the top on the Worst of the Week.
It was the Cal Ripken Jr. of wrestling streaks.
Finally, it ended.
Let's be fair, though, Santino didn't appear this week, so Sheamus got to run away with the award.
Sheamus does double duty this week on the list. After watching his skit on Raw, he may have hit a new low. It was the Kindergarten Cop of wrestling skits, mainly because it sucked.
First of all, the whole segment was really overproduced. They filmed it multiple times, as there were a variety of camera angles for coverage. It was an unnatural feel for a wrestling show.
Sheamus, as usual, had a few of his comedy gems:
"If you're Lipschitz, what does your arse do?"
"Swear? I"ll be happy too!"
To top it off, his "si senor" in a stereotypical Mexican accent line came off as a bit racist.
And lastly, he kicked a woman's camera for no reason. (At the beginning of the sketch she was right behind the camera, so I'm not sure how he avoided injuring her as well.)
Sheamus has his week of glory for now, but it will be interesting to see if Santino can get his bad act together and reclaim his spot at No. 1.
Well, that's all for this week. Agree? Disagree? Did anything worse happen? Sound off below!

Nazarbayev Awards King Abdullah II of Jordan First Prize for Nuclear-Weapons-Free World and Global Security
October 10, 2016
ASTANA – Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev awarded King Abdullah II of Jordan on Oct. 10 with the first Nazarbayev Prize for a Nuclear-Weapons-Free World and Global Security.
"Today, I would like to tell you and our people about the new initiative," Nazarbayev said from the Akorda presidential residence where he was receiving credentials from newly appointed foreign ambassadors. "I have made a decision to establish the international award for contributions to nuclear disarmament and security."
"This is Kazakhstan's international prize," Nazarbayev added. "This year, King Abdullah II of Jordan has been chosen as the first laureate of this award. Later on, a special committee will be established (to choose laureates who will be awarded) on the day of closing the Semipalatinsk test site on Aug. 29."
King Abdullah's contributions include his policy of sheltering more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Jordan and his will to turn the Middle East into a zone of peace, including through the establishment of a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the region.
"I fully support the idea of awarding King Abdullah for his contribution to world peace and I am glad that such an award has been established," said Honorary Ambassador of The ATOM Project Karipbek Kuyukov. "Kazakhstan should get full recognition for its efforts because there were only two nations who had seen the true horror of nuclear weapons – us and Japan. Hence, I believe awarding next time to Japan would make perfect sense."
Kazakhstan, in turn, continues its struggle to achieve a world completely free of nuclear weapons. The country has become one of the global leaders in nuclear weapons nonproliferation after shutting down the Soviet Union's test site near Semipalatinsk in 1991 and ongoing efforts to achieve a nuclear-weapons-free world.
This year the country celebrated the 25th anniversary of the shutdown by inviting more than 200 international and 800 local participants to commemorate the UN International Day against Nuclear Tests on Aug. 29 at an international conference, titled Building a Nuclear Weapons Free World.
On that day, international speakers, including Vice President of Bulgaria Margarita Popova, President of the International Parliamentary Union Saber Chowdhury, Vice President of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly Azay Guliyev from Azerbaijan and Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan Motome Takisawa urged the Kazakh President to consider establishing a prize to acknowledge and support others in the quest for a nuclear-weapons-free world.
The prize announcement follows President Nazarbayev's manifesto "The World. The 21st Century," which he presented earlier this year in Washington.

One month ago, I asked for your help in launching the Invisible Army. You didn't know what it was for. You didn't know what we had planned. But you said yes. And that meant so damn much. And so, as I finally now come home from the full month of the book tour, I just wanted to say thank you for what you unleashed. First, of course, I appreciate what you did with The Book of Lies, talking it up to whoever would listen. It was one of the most outrageous launches we've ever had (and over and over again, when reporters would ask, I'd tell them it was because of the Invisible Army. Swear. They still don't believe me.)
But most important, thank you for what you did to save the house where Superman was created. As you know, the goal was to raise $50,000 just to work on the outside of the house. Instead, we raised $101,000. 101! Thousand! Which now means we'll be working on the inside of the house as well.
So let me be clear: you did this. When I was worried about getting the word out there, you stepped forward without even asking. You are a clear troublemaker and I love you for it. Make no mistake: what you did -- from passing the video along, to facebooking, to myspacing, to all the rest -- made a huge difference. So thanks for the trust and the faith and of course for putting the word out there from day one.
This has been one of the most incredible, humbling, spectacular experiences I've even been a part of. Of course, now the hard work begins as the Siegel & Shuster Society does the real fixing of the house. And just to show you what you unleashed, here's a photo from the impromptu clean-up at the house from this past weekend.
Finally, and perhaps most important, let me share what Jerry Siegel's wife and daughter asked me to share with everyone who has been a part of this:
We are overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone involved in this massive undertaking. We have great admiration for you and what you are accomplishing with the auction. We deeply appreciate the love and care you put into it. The amount of money that's already been raised to restore Jerry's house is a magnificent tribute to Jerry's memory!So again, thanks from here. And send love there.
We thank you and everyone who made this effort possible for honoring Jerry in this very special way.
Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson
