FamilySearch Photo Duplication Services to be Discontinued
According to a recently-updated wiki page at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Photoduplication_Services:
"Photo duplication Services will be discontinued as of December 5, 2014. As of this date, existing orders will be completed, but new orders will not be accepted.
"Second Cousins," "Once Removed", and More Explained in Chart Form
It's simple: "Figure out the common ancestor between two relatives. Then select the relationship of the first relative to the common ancestor in the top row. Move down to the row that corresponds to the relationship of the second person to the common ancestor. The result is the relationship of the second person to the first."
OK, so maybe that isn't so simple after all. I am not sure if a chart is worth a thousand words or not but a cousin relationship chart at http://flowingdata.com/2014/11/05/chart-of-cousins does save a lot of words. It is easier to understand than the above explanation.
See you yourself at http://flowingdata.com/2014/11/05/chart-of-cousins.
The Great Stink of 1858 in London
NOTE: I suggest you not read this article just before dinner. However, it describes a major problem that many of our ancestors faced, in London and elsewhere.
Modern developed cities of millions produce a lot of waste, not the least of which is that produced directly by the population. Over time, people have developed infrastructure to remove this waste quickly to avoid infection and contamination of ground water. For much of the world and for much of human history, however, the process of waste disposal has been much less sterile and impersonal.
About 150 years ago, London saw the formal opening of a great sewage system constructed by the Metropolitan Board of Works and its engineer, Joseph Bazalgette (1819-1891). Prior to this, an increasing proportion of London's sewage was routed into the Thames (via drains set up originally for surface water), leading to dreadful pollution and the Great Stink of 1858.
The Great Stink, sometimes called the Big Stink, was a time in the summer of 1858 during which the smell of untreated human waste and effluent from other activities was very strong in central London. The stench prompted London authorities to accept a sewerage scheme proposed by Joseph Bazalgette, implemented during the 1860s.
Family Film Offers a Glimpse of 'Three Minutes In Poland' Before Holocaust
In 2009, Glenn Kurtz stumbled across some old family films in a closet in his parents' house in Florida. One of the films, shot more than 70 years earlier by his grandparents while on vacation in Europe, turned out to include footage of his grandfather's hometown of Nasielsk in Poland, taken in 1938, a year before the Nazi occupation. Only approximately 80 of the 3,000 Jews living in Nasielsk in 1939 survived the war.
Glenn Kurtz quickly recognized the brief footage as a crucial link in a lost history. He gave it to the Holocaust Museum where it was digitized and made available on the Web. One day, Kurtz heard from a young woman who had watched the video on the Holocaust Museum's website. As the camera panned across the faces of children, she recognized her grandfather as a thirteen-year-old boy. Moszek Tuchendler of Nasielsk was now eighty-six-year-old Maurice Chandler of Florida, and when Kurtz meets him, the lost history of Nasielsk came into view. Chandler's laser-sharp recollections created a bridge between two worlds, and he helped Kurtz eventually locate six more survivors, including a ninety-six-year-old woman who also appears in the film, standing next to the man she would later marry.
Announcing RootsTrust, a Genealogy Program for Windows, Macintosh and Linux
This sounds interesting. A new genealogy program works on all the popular desktop and laptop operating systems. It even will operate directly from a flash drive, not requiring installation on a hard drive. I suspect hard drive installation will result in faster operation, however.
The following announcement was written by the folks at Atavus, Inc.:
On October 31, 2014 Atavus, Inc. officially released rootstrust, an advanced genealogy program that runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is one of the few genealogy programs that is portable across all three operating systems.
Atavus calls its product a genealogical data management system (GDMS), which is a computer program designed to manage relationships between people, and relationships between people and places as well as historical and administrative relationships between places and other places. A GDMS also allows users to import and export data, generate family tree charts and other textual reports, link document and multimedia image files as well as websites to the objects it manages: Persons, Families, Events, Places, Sources and Repositories (libraries, archives museums and private collections).
(+) How I Ditched My Laptop for a Tablet Computer
This is a Plus Edition article written by and copyright by Dick Eastman.
As a frequent traveler who also lives in a high tech world, I am always looking for ways to travel lighter, with less luggage, and with less effort. I started out years ago traveling with a 12-pound laptop computer with a black-and-white screen and two floppy disk drives (and no hard drive). I think the charger added another three or four pounds to my luggage weight as well. That was state-of-the-art in the 1980s. Of course, I was younger and stronger in those days, and carrying an extra 15 pounds or so wasn't much of an issue.
In those days I had a separate suitcase just for the laptop, charger, modem, and assorted cables and tools needed to take apart the telephone in a hotel room in order to hook into the phone system and connect to the outside world. This was before the airlines started charging extra for every piece of luggage. The normal method of connecting online in those days was to use a dial-up modem to connect to CompuServe. The World Wide Web and the phrase "wi-fi" hadn't been invented in the 1980s.
Luckily, technology has improved greatly since those days!
Findmypast releases 953,000 District of Columbia birth, marriage and death records, 18 new US periodicals, new Irish Survey Maps & Plans and thousands of UK School & Prison Hulk registers
The following announcement was written by the folks at Findmypast:
Every Friday, leading family history website Findmypast reveals thousands of new records to explore over the weekend on its dedicated Findmypast Friday page. This week's new additions include 95,000 Griffiths Survey of Ireland records, over 953,000 US birth, marriage and death records for the District of Columbia, 18 new PERSI titles and thousands of new UK school admissions and Prison Ship records.
The new District of Columbia Births & Baptisms 1830-1955 contain over 109,000 records. These records provide information on births and baptisms that occurred in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, between 1830 and 1955. Although the district began officially collecting this information in 1874, many records are from years earlier and do contain some duplicates that often contain slightly different information. Each record consists of a transcript that lists the child's name, date of birth, date and place of christening, parents' names and ethnicity.
Wellcome Library funds a new Partnership to Digitize 800,000 pages of Mental Health Archives
The following announcement was written by the Wellcome Library in partnership with the Borthwick Institute for Archives, London Metropolitan Archives, Dumfries and Galloway Council Archives:
The Wellcome Library will partner with the Borthwick Institute for Archives, London Metropolitan Archives, Dumfries and Galloway Council Archives, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives, and the Royal College of Psychiatrists for the project, which will bring together documents from the York Retreat, St Luke's Hospital Woodside, Crichton Royal Hospital, Gartnavel Royal Hospital and Camberwell House Asylum. These collections will be added to the Wellcome Library's own collection of archives from public and private mental health institutions, including the records of Ticehurst House Hospital in Sussex, which provide a rare insight into the running of a privately run asylum.
The project will mostly focus on records dating from the 19th and 20th centuries, and will touch on the movement away from institutional care as the 20th century progressed. Patient records and case notes, photographs, administrative documents and registers will be digitised, creating an extensive online archive that will be a valuable resource for historical research.
A Popular Song for Funerals: Monty Python's Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
A study by The Co-operative Funeralcare of songs played at 30,000 funerals in the U.K. showed that traditional hymns, football anthems and classic pop songs top the list of the "funeral music chart." The most popular song amongst the pop songs? Monty Python's Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, a song from The Monty Python movie, The Life of Brian.

Was the First Thanksgiving Held in Florida?
Did the first Thanksgiving held in the New World happen in Saint Augustine, Florida on September 8, 1565? One person with significant credentials in history claims Thanksgiving started decades before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
"The first Thanksgiving that involved a feast and lots of local food and inviting the local people, the Timacuan Indians here in St. Augustine to be part of it, and that's our Thanksgiving," says Kathleen Deagan, Ph.D., the distinguished research curator emerita at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida. "Most of us associate our early history and our founders of the English colonies of Jamestown and of Plymouth, and really the first settlement was here in St. Augustine in 1565."
Dr. Deagan continues, "It never ceases to astonish people the first thanksgiving meal was smoked meat and fish. Ham. Garbanzo beans. Red Wine. Olives and Olive oil. There wasn't any corn as far as we know, no turkeys, no mashed potatoes, no pecan pie for sure!"
Rabbi Abraham S. Goldberg, R.I.P.
The recent attack by Palestinian terrorists in Jerusalem took several lives. One of the murder victims was Rabbi Abraham S. Goldberg who was very active on JewishGen and a person who helped many people research their lineage.

St. John's Cemetery, Albany, NY – Interments 1841-1887 now Online
The latest addition to the transcription projects on the website of the Troy Irish Genealogy Society, www.troyirish.com are the recently discovered interment records of 12,731 individuals from the long closed St. John's Cemetery in Albany New York. St. John's Cemetery was located on Delaware Avenue in Albany, New York. To see these records on the TIGS website, click on PROJECTS and then ST. JOHN'S CEMETERY, ALBANY, NY – INTERMENT RECORDS.
It had been widely reported that the interment records for this cemetery, covering interments starting over 173 years ago, had been lost or destroyed. However, in a recent chance conversation with the Historian at St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands, New York, it was discovered that the mostly intact St. John's interment book was in the possession of a retired cemetery employee and the book was promptly recovered.
Irish Artifacts Infographic Summary
Ireland has an incredibly vibrant history that is rich in history and culture. Particularly symbolic for the Irish is the many Celtic symbols and emblems used across many traditional Irish Artifacts and crafts.
Paul Murphy, Managing Director of Murphy of Ireland, has created an infographic that explores the most prevalent and perhaps most popular artifacts along with an overview of Celtic design. These Artifacts range for the Aran Jumper to the Claddagh Ring, and the Tin Whistle to the Tweed Waistcoat and Cap. It takes an in depth view of the origins of these Artifacts, how they were made, and the many alluring and interesting facts that surround them.
Did you know for example that the hands on a Claddagh ring symbolise friendship? Or that Irish children would gather flowers, berries and even turf to dye the cloth that was woven into tweed waistcoats and cap? You might be surprised to know that the typical Aran Jumper has 100,000 carefully constructed stitches taking upwards of 2 month to complete.

UK Enhanced Procedure to Obtain Copy Wills and Grants of Probate
The following was written by Jan Meisels Allen, Chairperson of the International Jewish Genealogy Society's Public Records Access Monitoring Committee and is used here with her permission:
Sometimes it pays to contact your elected official! The following information was shared with me by David Lewin in London, England sent to him via his member of Parliament. Justice Minister thanked David for his suggestions to improve the service for the provision of copies of documents resulting in the new changes below.
UK Justice Minister Chris Grayling announced effective September 30 that the Probate Service launched an online probate search facility. Customers can now access probate records from 1996 to the present day for a fee of £10 and order a copy of the grant which will be provided in 10 days. When an order is placed the customer will receive notification by email that the order has been received and when the document is available for download a further email will be sent. Payments may be made by debit or credit card.
Talk to Your Family This Holiday Season
Many of us will be enjoying dinners and other festive occasions with our relatives during the next few weeks. I would suggest this is a great time to compare notes with the relatives. Indeed, older members of the family may know a few tidbits of genealogy information that you have not yet found. However, there is another, more serious, reason for comparing notes with relatives: family health hazards.
Compiling a family tree can offer more benefits than discovering stories of war heroes or family dramas; science and preventive medicine are getting a look in, too. The skeleton in the cupboard could be a genetic predisposition towards disease that, once uncovered, might provide potentially life-saving indicators.
Call for Market Research Volunteers
Want to help test a genealogy-related product that may come to market soon?
Volunteers are needed for a survey related to a new research product. Participants will have a brief phone call while they use a browser to view mockups. Interested individuals should email Beau Sharbrough (email@example.com) and include the following helpful information:
Note: There are no right or wrong responses. We hope to balance the mix.
- Your Name
- The name of the state where you live
- The number of years you have been researching your family history (0 is okay)
- The number of years you have subscribed to any family history website (0 is okay)
- No more than 30 words describing your genealogical interest (not surnames – what makes you do it?)
Respondents will be contacted via email to arrange the survey.
Thanks for reading!
Ancestry.com Claims Online Family History Research in United States Has Grown by 14 Times in the Past Decade
The following announcement was written by the folks at Ancestry.com:
PROVO, UT–November 19, 2014 – Over the past decade, online family history research has grown in the United States by 14 times, with two-thirds (63%) of respondents in a recent study reporting that family history has become more important than ever. They also say that this growth is motivated by a belief that knowing more about the past is a key part of understanding who we are.
Announced today by Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family history resource, the new findings are part of the first chapter in its Global Family History Report, a multi-country study that examined trends in the family — both past and present — across six developed countries: the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and Sweden.

(+) Follow-Up: A Tablet Computer that Runs Windows 8.1 for $99
Yesterday I published a Plus Edition article (at http://eogn.com/wp/?p=33152) describing my experiences running Windows 8.1 and a standard Windows genealogy program on an 8-inch tablet computer. Apparently, the other retailers are not sitting idly by. Now two more brands of tablet computers with almost identical specifications are being offered at the same price. All of these tablet computers run Windows 8.1 and are capable of running almost any Windows programs, including all of today's Windows genealogy programs.

A special issue of Journal of Business and Management Sciences
Deadline for manuscript submissions: (September 01, 2014)
Chief Guest Editor
Dr. Monalisha PattnaikDepartment of Business Administration, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, IndiaEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
Guest EditorEr. Gopal Prasad RoySupport Services and Dam Safety, Govt. of Odisha, Department of Water Resources, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, IndiaEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Purmina NayakDepartment of Higher Education, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, IndiaEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The aim of this special issue is to put forth the state-of-the art research outcomes in the area of Production Research for the analysis, design, co-ordination, control of manufacturing and service system operations. Modern production firms witness tremendous pressures while striving to become more innovative in their usage of leading-edge cost reduction paradigms such as cost-driven pricing which is difficult to achieve in the volatile competitive market. The theme of this issue is relatively broader and pervasive in the sense that it includes the analysis of cutting edge and future proof production technology at all levels of production planning and control. The fundamental approach would be seeking for the emerging trends in production research in terms of supply chain dynamics, cost optimization with resource and cost constraints, gaining competitive advantage through operational efficiency, integrated productivity, quality models and their trend analysis, recent developments in production research with the application of quantitative techniques, optimization techniques (through advanced software applications) for managerial decision-making process. Manuscripts that focus on the functional and operational aspects of production research are invited. Studies that investigate emerging practices, concepts and cases related to in-bound production system as well as out-bound production system are also invited. This study will be an extensive framework for integrating multiple disciplines such as Production and Operations Management, Decision Sciences, Operations Research, Supply Chain Management, Logistics and Inventory Management, Total Quality Management, Resource Management, Cost Management and Business Trend analysis. Manuscripts that focus on the operations of other non-manufacturing related service systems will also be considered as long as they demonstrate that these operations are strongly related to manufacturing systems operations in terms of their characteristics and the methodologies used to analyze them.

Going Mental
How Airplane Crashes Mess With Our Rationality
There is no ironclad guarantee that signing up to hurtle your body at 500+ mph several miles above the ground will result in safe passage to your destination.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.
Strategies for rewiring and optimizing your brain
There is no ironclad guarantee that signing up to hurtle your body at 500+ mph several miles above the ground will result in safe passage to your destination.
A University of Toronto study showed that people who read literary fiction have less need for "cognitive closure," allowing for more creative and sophisticated thinking.
Two thousand Oklahoma City students were given free mobile phones that sent them encouraging texts each day. After nine months, they said they valued education more, but there was no corresponding increase in achievement.
Researchers are working on a method to teach passwords through a series of repetitive actions that, ideally, become so familiar that the user does them without conscious thought.
You can create mental machinery for decision making.
With patients' help, researchers in the UK created a digital avatar of the voice, which then was used to slowly help the patients regain control over their lives.

The reason I believe this game is overrated is because shooter games like this age terribly. There are much more recent shooter titles which also have aged terribly and certainly wouldn't warrant a remake.
Back in the good old days of 1991, I remember so fondly, well I wasn't born yet but apparently Sonic the Hedgehog made his debut appearance. Sonic was exactly what SEGA needed in response to the mega successful Mario. The first Sonic game was okay, but SEGA made a habit of 'whoring' Sonic out and producing title after title of pointless games.

Career Center: For success after college, prepare in summer
Summer break is coming up fast and for many students it's a time for ultimate relaxation and catching up on TV shows on Netflix. However, summer break also provides time for students to start preparing for life after college.
Krystal Hicks, the Career Center's associate director of career support and employer outreach, said she feels that there are numerous ways that students can use the summer to start preparing for life after college. However, according to Hicks, it's not going to be the same for everyone.
"I think there's never going to be a cookie cutter answer because every student's path is going to be different," Hicks said. "But I think there are benefits."
For example, Hicks explained that traveling during the summer for someone who's an international affairs major would be a good experience.
"Any kind of international experience, especially if you're traveling outside the country, employers love that," Hicks said. "I really encourage students to put their international travel - even if it's just leisure travel - on their resume."
Megan Hales, assistant director of student engagement and young alumni programs, agreed with Hicks. Hales said that travel is a great way to gain experience, especially if it pertains to the student's major.
"Summer is a great time to travel and gain experience if you're able to," Hales said.
According to Hicks, travel helps to show diversity for students. Hicks explained that for students, it shows employers that they are culturally aware and that they are used to being in diverse areas.
"You've gone outside of the comfort bubble," Hicks said. "So I think there's benefits to that if it's something that could work for you." Hicks claimed she understands the need and desire for students to make money over the summer, whether it's keeping their old restaurant job or a job at the local shoe store. However, Hicks said there is also another way to make money during the summer without sacrificing opportunities.
"[Find] something that's somewhat related to your major or what you want to do when you leave college," Hicks said. "That's going to be what you want to focus on."
Hicks stressed that with the short amount of time left before the "real world," it's best to be as competitive as possible. For example, Hicks said if a student is a communication major, they could find a work-study opportunity or a summer job working in the UNH communication department. Working a summer internship at a local newspaper or news station would be beneficial as well.
"Even if you're just pushing papers, meeting the people in the field, being able to pick the brains of people in your field, just getting a sense of your field, is so incredibly important," Hicks said.
Hicks said a summer internship is also another great way to prepare for life after college. According to Hicks, summer internships are more beneficial because during the semester, it's hard to juggle an internship with classes.
"Summer is great because a lot of times you can get a full time internship," Hicks said. "During a semester, most internships are 10 to 20 hours a week max because employers understand you're juggling your courses."
Blogging, job-shadowing a professional and doing informational interviews are other ways students can utilize the summer and prepare for life after college. According to Hicks, starting a blog helps students to stand out.
"Starting an online presence for yourself is so incredibly important," Hicks said. "Summer time is a really great time to start that because you have more time to dedicate to it."
Hicks said that a job shadow and an informational interview are two really powerful things that students can do for themselves over the summer. She claimed it's a good way to get experience and gain perspective.
"Doing an informational interview allows you to get this perspective you haven't been able to get yet based on experience," Hicks said. "A job-shadow is basically like a one day internship."
According to Hales, a great way to get involved with job-shadows is to get in touch with UNH alumni. Hales encourages students to reach out to alums over the summer from their field and have them host a job shadow or an informational interview.
"It helps to make an impression," Hales said. "It shows that you're curious, and employers love that."

A grant of €70,000 was allocated by The Tony Ryan Fund Year 2 with €60,000 awarded in Year 1 to support The Work Winner programme. The Work Winner Programme is run in conjunction with Tipperary Regional Youth Services. It aims to develop a pool of young people (specifically under 25's) in Tipperary who are job ready, therefore available to take up employment opportunities as they arise, both now and into the future. This has been achieved both through working with the young people through training, work placement and progression paths, and also through supporting local employers to work with young people, giving them practical skills so that they are potential employees into the future. There are labour activation schemes in Tipperary, but none of them are targeted specifically at the under 25s who are long term unemployed.

Top Bollywood actors like Kajol, Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Katrina Kaif are the brand ambassadors for Olay.
Does skin care olay work on skin?
I mean is it safe to do olay shop online? As olay products are expensive so dont want to take any risk.
I just love Olay products but unfortunately, I am not satisfied with this day cream. I have started using this cream for about 3 months before. Pros: - Moisturizes the skin. - Gives it sun protection. - Non greasy Cons: - Thick in texture and this requires little hard work to slather on the face. - Leaves minute whiteness on the skin which is easily visible.
i have tried many moisturizing creams but believe me olay natural white is the best.it is a combition of moisturizer and sunscreen. i does miracles for skin.it is best in treating problems like dark spots, pigmentation, oily skin, pimples, other spots,etc...it is totally worth for money and must try item
its nutrients rich formula help replenishes your skin's natural moisture level. It is a very good product particularly for the middle aged people who can improve the skin conditon. By using this product on daily basis one can improve the face glow and skin health. I am using this product for the many days and found the results are very good. go for it girls its just what u need.

DIY - E90 Oil Change (with Pics! - 56K Beware)

I just finished my first oil change at 3950 miles and have a couple of comments. I mostly followed E90wraith's instructions, but found it interesting that he said that the oil fill cap removes easily by turning it clockwise. Mine came off by turning it counterclockwise which is generally the direction to remove most screwed devices. I wonder if that was an error in the directions or if for some reason some caps come off clockwise and some counterclockwise?
Also I put wheel chocks behind my rear tires once my E90 was on the ramps for added safety along with putting the car in park(steptronic) and parking brake engaged. I heard once that most fatalities from working on cars come from the mechanic working under the car and the car slipping off the jack, jack stands or ramps. It just isn't worth it to add to that statistic.
Other than that, I put in 6.9 quarts of new synthetic oil, drove around the block a couple of times until I got an oil level reading and when it lit up, it showed max.
