Workplace Bullying: 7 Warning Signs
Editor's Note: Have you ever been a witness to or victim of workplace bullying? Tell your story in the comment section below.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- For too many Americans, the daily grind can become a daily nightmare. According to the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI), harassment in a job environment is an issue in desperate need of attention.
In its recent 2014 survey, the institute found 27% of American workers have suffered abusive conduct, while another 21% have witnessed it. Sadly, the organization also found that in cases of bullying, the target loses his or her job 82% of the time, whether it be by quitting or termination.
However, a caveat: the study polled only the most serious forms of bullying, that is victimization in the form of threats, intimidation, humiliation, sabotage or verbal abuse. Oftentimes, workplace bullying can encompass more subtle behavior, actions that are not clear-cut but are intended to belittle and make others feel inferior.
Here are 7 subtle signs of a workplace bully, according to WBI definitions. Source: Workplace Bullying Institute, 2014 Sign #1: Ignoring, isolation and exclusion This form of abuse could involve the perpetrator:- Deliberately ignoring or avoiding a target;
- Purposefully excluding someone from group meetings, discussions or decisions;
- Or intentionally making someone feel isolated from the team.

Glossary of Marine Insurance and Shipping Terms
"Aft of." See "Aft."
To relinquish or tender all rights of ownership of hull or cargo to insurers as the preliminary step to recovering an insurance claim for an actual or constructive total loss.
or OnboardPersons or cargo on a vessel or other conveyance.
- See "American Bureau of Shipping."Accident
An unforeseen occurrence or happening; a fortuitous event.
A natural event such as flood, storm, lightning, or earthquake not caused by nor preventable by any human agency, and for which no transporter can be held accountable.
Actual Cash Value
Fair market value of property; as opposed to replacement cost or replacement cost less depreciation. See also "Agreed Valuation."
Actual Total Loss
- See "Total Loss."A court having legal jurisdiction over maritime matters; in the United States, the Federal District Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court, not the State Courts.
Admiralty Law
The branch of law dealing with maritime matters.
See "Alternative Dispute Resolution."Ad Valorem
"According to value" or "agreed value"; e.g. an ad valorem freight rate is based on the cargo�s value, not its weight or volume.
The commercial enterprise involving uncertainties, risks, and hazards, in which a vessel and cargo are subjected to the peril of a loss, delay or damage at sea. Merchandise is shipped by the seller on speculation to arrive safely at a foreign port to be sold for a profit. The vessel carries the merchandise in order to earn freight. The vessel and cargo together make up the "common venture." In clipper ship days, the captain participated in the profits of the venture to give him the incentive to make profitable voyages for the owners. Fishing vessel owners still give their crew "shares" of the venture�s profits.
Advice of Shipment
A notice sent to a buyer advising that the shipment has gone forward, the name of vessel, routing, and anticipated arrival date, etc.
- See "Contract of Affreightment."Towards or near the stern of a vessel.
A person authorized to transact business for or on behalf of another person or company; e.g. a "ship�s agent" would book cargo for the pending voyages of a shipping line and make other arrangements for the vessel and/or its owners such as supplies and repairs.
The value of cargo or a vessel agreed between the owner and the insurance company at time of inception of an insurance policy .
A.I.D. (Agency for International Development)A U.S. government agency.
Air Waybill
The contract of carriage between a shipper and an air carrier; serves a similar purpose as the Bill of Lading on a vessel, but it is not a negotiable document like an ocean Bill of Lading.
See "Allocated Loss Adjusting Expense."ALE
(Allocated Loss Expense) - See "Allocated Loss Adjusting Expense."Allision
The striking of a moving vessel with a stationary vessel or other stationary object. See also "Collision."
Allocated Loss Adjusting Expense
(ALAE)Costs paid by an insurance company to adjust a particular claim; e.g. a survey fee on a cargo water damage claim.
The broadest form of insurance coverage available, providing protection against all perils of physical loss or damage from an external cause. Loss must be fortuitous, i.e. accidental, to be covered. All risks does not cover inevitable loss, wear and tear, delay, inherent vice, pre-shipment condition, inadequate packaging, or loss of market.
An area next to the side of a vessel. Cargo delivered "alongside" is placed on the dock or barge within reach of the transport ship's tackle so it can be loaded.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR)Optional ways of settling disputes between parties other than by a formal trial. The most common forms of ADR are:
Negotiation |
The process in which disputing parties and their attorneys discuss and compromise their differences.
Settlement Conference |
Any meeting of disputing parties and their attorneys in which they discuss possible settlement of the issues. It may be Voluntary if agreed by the parties (see "Mediation" below), or Mandatory if ordered by the court. Many courts mandate a pre-trial settlement conference in which a judge presides but does not make a final decision on the issues.
Mediation |
An informal process in which the disputing parties choose one neutral mediator to conduct a meeting and help them resolve their disputes by discussing, negotiating, and reaching a settlement acceptable to all of them. Mediation can be either Voluntary if agreed by the parties, or Mandatory if ordered by the court. The mediator does not make a final decision on the issues.
Arbitration |
A formal procedure in which the disputing parties choose one or three neutral arbitrators to conduct a hearing, listen to the positions of the parties, evaluate evidence and testimony, and then make a decision on the issues. Arbitration can be either Binding or Non-Binding on the parties, as they agree beforehand.
Early Neutral Evaluation |
An informal procedure that compels the disputing parties to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their positions early in a dispute. The early neutral evaluator is an attorney with expertise in the issues involved, who critiques and responds candidly to the merits of the positions of the parties, and makes specific recommendations about the terms of the settlement agreement, thereby providing a "reality check" for all parties. The neutral evaluator does not make a final decision on the issues.
Mini-Trial |
A flexible procedure in which the disputing parties agree to the format of an abbreviated trial. The rules of evidence are relaxed and witnesses are not usually called. A neutral advisor monitors the proceedings in which the parties present their cases to a judge, magistrate, or jury who then give an advisory opinion on the probable outcome of the case. Mini-trials provide a realistic preview of how the parties might fair at trial. The judge, magistrate, or jury does not make a final decision on the issues.
(ABS)The geographic scope of a voyage, including time extensions, covered by cargo insurance; e.g. Warehouse to Warehouse Clause, South American Clause, and the Marine Extension Clauses.
Inspection service in the United States that inspects and surveys vessels and grants their "class" if the vessel meets the standards of construction, material, workmanship, and maintenance; and certifies the vessel as "seaworthy." ABS publishes the RECORD, which is an alphabetical register of vessels describing the date built, dimensions, engines, type of construction, and other pertinent data.
In the vicinity of the middle portion of a vessel; between bow and stern.
Apparent Good Order
Cargo that is received and appears to be free of damage so far as can be determined without opening the package or container.
Approved Merchandise
Under an Open Cargo Policy, goods that are approved by the insurance company for coverage under the specified insuring conditions and rates of the policy. Other goods can be "held covered," but subject to terms and conditions to be determined.
Approved Packing
Packaging that meets the packaging industry standards of sufficient design and construction to protect the cargo from the normal hazards expected to be encountered during the intended voyage, including normal domestic handling and storage from point of origin to final destination.
Approved Vessel
In the American market, a cargo-carrying vessel over 1,000 net registered tons and under 20 years of age that insurance companies accept to carry the insured cargo without additional premium. Shipments aboard other vessels are accepted and may be subject to additional premiums, called "penalties," which results in these vessels being called "penalty vessels." The London market uses a different standard.
-See "Alternative Dispute Resolution."Arranged Total Loss
- See "Total Loss."A legal action in Admiralty to seize a vessel, cargo, container or other maritime property as security for a claim or to enforce a maritime lien. The claim may be brought "in rem" against the arrested property itself and not necessarily against the property�s owner (which may be unknown). See "Attachment" and "In Rem."
Arrival Notice
A notification of the vessel's arrival by the transporter to the consignee, or the "Notify Party," or the "Also Notify Party" as listed on the Bill of Lading.
As Is Where Is
Description of the terms under which property is sold, meaning that it is to be sold at its present location and in its present condition without warranty as to quality or quantity. See "Salvage Value."
Persons committing robbery by force; e.g. at gunpoint. The term does not include theft by any of the vessel's crew or passengers, clandestine theft, or pilferage by stealth; one of the perils enumerated in the "Perils" clause of a Marine Insurance Policy. See also "Barratry."
The transfer of rights, title, and interest from one party to another by contract or by endorsing a check, bill of lading, or policy of insurance over to another party. An Assignee acquires no greater rights than were held by the Assignor.
Athwart / Athwartships
- See "Transverse."A seizure of property to secure an eventual judgment against the owner. Unlike arrest, the property is not the named party in the case and the defendant must own the property for it to be subject to attachment. See "Arrest" and "In Rem."
Any loss or damage to a vessel or cargo that is due to an insured peril and is less than a total loss. See "Particular Average," "General Average," and "Average Clauses."
A marine claims specialist who prepares statements of Particular or General Average, etc. concerning claims for losses, expenses and contributions. The person is usually appointed by the vessel owner and is usually a member of the Association of Average Adjusters.
Average Agreement
- See "General Average Agreement."Average
Bond - See "General Average Agreement." (Particular Average Clauses)The perils listed in the insurance policy establish the basic perils that are covered by a named peril policy, and a total loss of an entire vessel or an entire cargo shipment due to any one of these perils is covered in full. The various Average Clauses determine when PARTIAL LOSSES due to a named peril in the policy are covered.
The Average Clauses fall into two categories: FPA (Free of Particular Average) and W A (With Average):
FPA - AC (Free of Particular Average - American Conditions) � Limits recovery of partial losses to those directly CAUSED BY the vessel stranding, sinking, burning, or being in collision with another vessel. |
FPA - EC (Free of Particular Average - English Conditions) � Limits recovery of partial losses due to a named peril in the policy occurring on a voyage in which the vessel is stranded, sunk, burnt, or in collision with another vessel. Under F P A - E C, it is NOT NECESSARY that the actual damage be caused by the vessel stranding, sinking, burning, or being in collision, but only that one of these HAS OCCURRED sometime during the voyage to open up the F PA Warranty. Today these conditions are usually worded so that damages caused by collision are covered, but so that a collision does not open the FPA warranty. |
WA if amounting to 3% (With Average with a Franchise equal to 3% of the insured value ) � Limits recovery of partial losses due to a named peril in the policy to those reaching a Franchise (3% is usual for many commodities, but the Franchise can be any percentage of the insured value, or any amount agreed upon by the insurance company and the Assured). See "Franchise." The Clause can be written in a variety of ways, including: |
- With Average, if amounting to 3%.
- With Particular Average, if amounting to 3%.
- Particular Average Payable, if amounting to 3%.
- Average Payable, if amounting to 3%.
- To pay Particular Average, if amounting to 3%.
- Subject to Particular Average, if amounting to 3%.
WA Irrespective of Percentage (With Average, No Franchise) - Allows full recovery of all partial losses due to a named peril in the policy. This clause can also be written in a variety of ways, as above, with the words "if amounting to 3%" replaced by "irrespective of percentage," or deleted entirely. |

Shade Hotel owner Michael Zislis and councilmembers Bill Brand and Steve Aspel, together with Mayor Mike Gin, break ground on the Shade Hotel project, expected to be completed in 2015. Photo by Rachel Reeves
Taking ceremonial sledgehammers to the walls of the long-vacant Red Onion building on Harbor Drive, city officials and Shade Hotel owner Michael Zislis on Thursday marked the groundbreaking of Shade's Redondo Beach protégé.
The project has entered the deconstruction phase, expected to last 12 weeks, and is likely to be finished in about two years' time. The upshot will be a 54-room luxury boutique hotel with meeting and conference facilities for up to 60, wedding and event space for up to 150, a rooftop sky-deck, and a restaurant and lounge.

All rooms will have harbor views, Tempur-Pedic mattresses and pillows, two HD televisions and DVD players, executive desks, wireless internet, mini bars and refrigerators, espresso machines, and balconies outfitted with a hammock, spa, and table and chairs.
Zislis said at Thursday's ceremony that Redondo Beach is a "natural" location for a second Shade, given the South Bay community's investment in the chain's Manhattan Beach location. The Metlox Plaza location has 52 investors, many of them local. The hotel has been voted the number six reason to visit Los Angeles by Conde Nast, and Zislis said last year it paid just over $400,000 in transient occupancy taxes. He expects the Redondo Beach location to be equally as successful.
Mayor Mike Gin thanked Zislis and his team for their "special commitment to sustainability" at Thursday's ceremony.
Councilmember Bill Brand, Mayor Mike Gin, and councilmembers Matt Kilroy, Steve Aspel, and Pat Aust pose with ceremonial sledgehammers to mark the initiation of the Shade Hotel Redondo Beach project. Photo by Rachel Reeves
Shade has several eco-friendly objectives, including installation of solar hot water panels, maximization of natural lighting and ventilation, and the setting up of energy saving systems controls with occupancy sensors to avoid electricity waste. All deconstructed timber remaining after the demolition of Red Onion will be repurposed for furniture.
Gin called Shade a "signature project" for Redondo Beach and an "anchor" for the impending 15-acre redevelopment of the Redondo Beach waterfront.

Mesh-Free Methods in Computational Electromagnetics Established simulation methods for electromagnetic fields generally rely on subdividing the computational domain into elementary cells. These cells – often hexa- or tetrahedral – constitute a mesh that establishes a topological relation between the points in the computational domain at which the fields are computed. While these methods have been successfully used in a wide range of applications and have continuously evolved over the last decades, the fixed topological relation between the computational nodes introduces an inherent disadvantage for several applications such as moving charges and boundaries as well as automatic discretization refinement. These cases often require a re-meshing of the computational domain in conventional simulation methods, which prohibits changes during the simulation. We anticipate mesh-free methods to bridge this shortcoming. In those methods the fields are computed at more or less random locations in the computational domain that are free to interact with each other. While relatively established in the realm of computational mechanics and astrophysics, mesh-free methods have yet to find their way into electromagnetics. Our initial results are promising. We have implemented a mesh-free code based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (We term our method 'SPEM – Smoothed Particle Electromagnetics') for two-dimensional problems.

Posted by Anonymous on 02/06/2010
we went in for dinner last night and had a great time! The low lighting and decor make for great ambiance. The food was delicous. I especially loved the cocktail trio, it comes with lobster, crab and shrimp, each with their own sauce that compliments perfectly. My friend who hates mussels changed her mind after tasting them here, get them with white wine and chorizo! We decided to have the cheese plate for dessert. You can choose between a selection of 3 or 5. We had the selection of 3 and let our server choose for us. I dont remember what they were but we finished every last crumb. The portion size was also much larger than i was expecting. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. She was always there when we needed something and never made us feel rushed, even though there were many people waiting for tables. After dinner we decided to have a glass of wine at the bar downstairs. What a hidden little gem! The bartender was great! She even let us try a few different wines before making our choice. I'll definately be back!!

The DMOZ effect on SERPs
Msg#: 4488024 posted

(gmt 0)
So I have been trying for 2 years over and over to get into the DMOZ directory as this is supposed to be the highest authority directory out there - and finally last week I got in!
Now I have confirmed my listing is in the google index and - wait for it - A BIG FAT NOTHING in SERPs improvements.
What a total waste of effort that was!
Anyone else seen any positive impact to be listed on dmoz.org?

Maybe it isn't an official requirement, but DMOZ encourages you to use the site's title as your listing name, and to reserve more descriptive text for the description area.

That's when some "edit-all" (on an egotistical power trip no doubt) reviewed my request and low and behold -- stripped much of my 6 months of dedicated work to the bone then replied back to me that there was much more I could do with my current category before applying for a new one.
I - and several others I know - had very similar experiences with being a DMOZ editor. DMOZ is pretty much a zero factor in SEO these days, due to a combination of low funding, extremely bad management, internal petty politics, and the 21st century.
As others have noted, I cannot recall a time in the past couple of years that where any link from DMOZ came up in any search results.
But you also cannot base your site just on things like directory links - they might get you noticed by the search engines, but unless you have some real content it is going to be a tough haul to get any decent SEO results.

I remember reading that even the founder of Dmoz said that there were too many corrupt editors for Google to trust the links and sites listed. I think google has ignored dmoz links for a few years now.

Google knows about, and can easily ignore, links from DMOZ clones.
Back in 2002 we generated many directory sites using dmoz data..... Happy days..... we put ads at the top of each page and they ran for a few years generating clicks. Then in 2006 we noticed that if we linked from these directories to a new site we were launching, the boost was diminishing, despite the site showing pr3 or 4. At the same time, the sites were dropping in traffic, from an average of 2000 uniques to zero overnight.
In short, our dmoz scraper sites were being spotted and the links ignored. Other sites we had with no dmoz and decent content, which were heavily linked to from these sites, did not suffer. Many of these old dmoz scraper directories are still live and they still link to all of our more important sites. However, there has been no bad effects over the years, because I believe the links are just ignored.
The problem with most directory sites or the types that use dmoz data is that they usually have little original content, too many outbound links, few inbound links, too many sponsored ads and cover too many sectors without any degree of focus. They therefore fall foul of many potential algorithms before the links out are even considered. Those that have some value, in the form of original content etc may offer some pr benefit..... but I suspect the links from nearly all directory style sites are ignored.

Very true Sgt_Kickaxe. I don't think listing in DMOZ means anything to do with your high ranking on SERPs. I don't see a great impact. Just work on your targeted keywords, target markets and your website to show results.

Let me get this straight - On one day alone there were about 1,400 links to your site put into Wikipedia by someone or a "bot"?
Not quite. I have somewhere near 75,000 links in Wikipedia, all put there organically, no involvement from me whatsoever. On a representative day, I got 1,400 links to my site from dozens of other sites that just copy Wikipedia onto their own domain.
Based on the 100,000 most recent links available to me in WMT, I have identified almost 400 domains that are Wiki or DMOZ scrapers. From those nearly 400 domains, I have received 67,300 links out of the 100,000, and I haven't classified them all yet. I'd estimate that of the 100,000 most recent links, 75,000 will turn out to be from Wiki cloners.
Do you really expect me to believe that Google isn't penalizing me for having 75% of my most recent links coming from spam sites? I saw a 50-80% drop in traffic precisely on 4/24, which is the sign of a Penguin penalty. Isn't it likely that 75,000 bad links will overwhelm 25,000 good links, regardless of how many of them are nofollow? Yet isn't 25,000 organic links over the course of 2 months the sign of a well-respected site, the kind that Google should be returning in search queries?
My site isn't completely knocked out of Google, but I am seeing that the only pages that can push through are those with legitimate backlinks. My thinner content pages - still the thickest on the topic on the internet though - have been eliminated from the results. My theory is that Penguin has devalued my site's authority based on all those Wiki links, and that has allowed Panda to kick in for other pages.

Are you sure about this? Unless you're counting links from old versions of Wikipedia pages. Many Wikipedia pages have thousands of previous versions, which you can see by looking at the history of previous edits. If your site got a backlink from a wikipedia page say five years ago, then (assuming it has never been deleted) that link appears on all the subsequent page revisions. But even if it appears on 5000 previous versions of the page, it's basically the same link.

WMT tells me 75,756 links to 18,350 of my pages.
The revision pages are "noindex, nofollow" on Wiki, so those aren't inflating things. The foreign language Wikipedia pages make up a number of the duplicates - even though the foreign language pages are not duplicates of each other, they do crib from each other. In the one example I looked at, I could see that the US page on the topic was 3-4 times as long as the German page, and contained different external links (my page was linked on both versions).
Each link to my site from Wikipedia is actually made up of two links - one to the deep page on my site, and the other to the homepage. That is how the Wikipedia template was created.
My site is a trusted reference site in its niche (similar to Internet Movie Database), and the Wiki editors used it to build out that niche on Wikipedia. And now the spammer cloners are using it to build their own sites, and Google is picking up on the spammer site links to my site.
I have 440 links on DMOZ (counted by doing a site: search on Google), and those links are not nofollowed, so when the spammers clone DMOZ, I get dozens of do-follow links from spam sites. DMOZ isn't nearly as much a factor as Wikipedia though - Wikipedia is what the cloners are after, because it has so much text.
Wikipedia are nofollowed, but I have to believe that when google Penguin algorithm looks at a link profile that has 75% nofollow coming from spam sites, the algorithm likely flags that - because Google is not known for ignoring data, they are data-greedy. Even though the nofollowed links are not used in building their link graph, they have never said they aren't using them to penalize, have they?

I've a few pages listed in DMOZ, and both are #1 for the associated search query.
I think deep-linked (ie individual page) listings are worth more. If the root of your domain is DMOZ-linked it's probably not going to have a huge effect... unless it's a fairly new site and you don't have many other links.

Well, I just checked Webmaster Tools for one of my sites and found quite a few backlinks from previous versions of wikipedia pages, even from as far back as 2008. In fact, for this particular site, there are only 3 backlinks from current wikipedia pages in the WMT lists, but 45 backlinks from old pages, mobile pages, and foreign wikipedias.
But the real issue here is how your site could be penalized if, as you say, it is such a great authority that it collects so many backlinks from wikipedia and DMOZ. it just doesn't add up. It makes me wonder if you're telling us the whole story.

@aristotle, if you'd like to contact me offline, I can try and prove to you that yes, I am telling everything I know about my story. Obviously I don't know what Google knows (or thinks it knows), so that is why I am trying to develop theories as to why I was hit with a 50% to 80% drop in Google referrals on 4/24.
for someone to figure out why that happened. When I posted on the Google forums - which, as you know, are the height of cynicism and arrogance - no one could find any specific Penguin-related problems with my site, so they settled on "even though it happened on 4/24, it was just a coincidence, and you were really hit with Panda because your site isn't very good" - and then the discussion veered off into diatribes of why my site in general isn't very good - which, of course, was a rabbit hole, because I have the online reputation to prove that people do in fact value and trust my site (far beyond Wikipedia).
No one ever turned up anything that matched any of the Penguin triggers. In fact, John Mueller himself said "I don't see anything wrong with your site" and gave the generic advice to "make it the best it can be" - which is like a doctor telling you to eat right and exercise when you come to him with complaints of pains in your chest. Reading between the lines, to me this meant that Mueller didn't know, but couldn't exactly say that because that would signal that he didn't understand the impacts of their algorithms.
I don't believe in the "it was coincidentally Panda on the Penguin day" theory, so my investigation continues to focus on Penguin and what makes my site different from most others. The Wikipedia/DMOZ links are something that stand out to me. It seems problematic that of my 100,000 most recent links, 75% are from Wikipedia spammers. Does anyone else here have such a situation?

I'm not an SEO professional and really don't have time to study your site or situation in detail. I also know that Penguin is based on a false premise (SEO=spam) and is flawed as a result. In fact it's very possible that your site has been unjustly penalized and is part of the collateral damage. Yours certainly wouldn't be the only one. But I don't think you should worry about wiki and DMOZ spam clones. I strongly doubt that's the problem. Maybe the Google algorithm thinks you might have purchased some links. Maybe the distribution of your backlink anchor text looks suspicious. Maybe your site acquired backlinks at an unnaturally high rate. There are a lot of people who are puzzled as to why their site was penalized.

Neither would I - Panda also runs on specific dates and those dates have not been shared with Penguin so far.
I have seen a lot of sites that claimed they were not the cause of their own undoing but on close inspection, they were. At the same time, I have also seen sites that took a terrible drop in Google search rankings and traffic for no reason that I could find, none that the site understood and none that Google has explained either.
It seems clear to me that something goes on with Google that generates some kind of false positive or arbitrary traffic drop, but we're really not close to understanding it - nor is there a lot of recourse except the Reconsideration Request. I have seen those work out well when the case is made intelligently and in detail - but not always.
At any rate, I doubt that DMOZ itself, or even its clones no matter how spammy, is the issue.

Papaya newbie...some questions
I picked up a papaya plant this past May. It was maybe 4 inches tall when I got it. Now it's 16 inches tall. I have it in a large pot outside and it took off like crazy. I have it in Miracle grow soil, and water it with warm water. Since it's been so hot lately, I've been able to use the hose since when I first turn it on, the water is quite warm coming out at first. Here are my questions. Hopefully some experienced growers can help.
1. I take it, the papaya loves full sun, all day, correct?
2. What type of fertilizer and how much? Is the fertilizer that's in the miracle grow soil enough for a while?
3. Of course, living in zone 6b, I'll have to bring the pot in for the winter. Should I do the acclimating thing before bringing it in?
4. At this point, I'm not concerned about getting fruit. It would be a bonus tho. I just want it to survive the indoors over the winter. Any tips for overwintering it in the house?
5. I know that papaya plants are sensitive to having their roots handled during repotting. How big of a pot should I have this plant in so that I can minimize this?
6. Are papayas like bananas in the sense that once they fruit, they die off or do they just keep growing?
Here is a picture of my small papaya tree. I guess there is really no way to tell if this plant is male, female or self pollinating?
Here is my papaya plant.
I can't tell you anything about acclimating it or bringing it indoors, but in Hawaii it grows well in either full sun or partial shade. You can't tell which sex you have until it flowers, and it won't die after fruiting, since the fruits come from the sides of the trunk and are not terminal. It just keeps going up and up and continues fruiting until it eventually gets too weak and spindly and topples over, or you can top it to make it branch out (but watch out for stem rot if you do). If you've got it in a pot and have seasons to contend with though, I'm not sure it will even get to that point.
Topping is used to keep the tree at a manageable height and keep an older tree productive by cutting the trunk off and placing a coffee can over the cut stump. This will cause the papaya to produce new side shoots from the old trunk, and the side shoots will each produce fruit.
I don't know about growing it in containers, but it does have an extremely long tap root, and is very sensitive to drying out, especially when young.
I might be able to offer a bit of advice. I grew this papaya in a pot the first summer, then I cut off the top foot or so and wintered it over under grow lights in my basement. For the winter you'll need to watch for spider mites. Might be best to use a systemic insecticide in the soil the first winter(since you'll not get any fruit). Be careful not to overwater during winter as the plant will not grow much (unless you have a greenhouse and warm, humid, bright conditions). You'll probably get a fair amount of leaf drop once you bring it in for the Fall (lower light levels, low humidity). Not much you can do about that unless you have a greenhouse. Cut back on water a bit. keep it in the same pot over winter. Don't repot to a larger container until summertime.
The second growing season I planted mine directly in the ground to get maximum growth (then let it freeze in the Fall). You'll probably want to repot to a larger container. It will grow outdoors in sun or part sun. I don't think it's finicky about fertilizer. When the plant is actively growing in summer, it's not very sensitive to repotting as long as tempertures are warm. Anyway, that's been my experience.
When it is summertime they drink up lots of water and fertilizer and the root system can actually crack open a small pot, but when you bring it in for the winter with low light and cold temperatures treat it like a cactus----very little water or it will rot. I like the males for their beautiful and sweet smelling flower stalks. In your zone I doubt you would ever be able to ripen a female fruit. Good luck.
Dave - I have a 2 1/2 foot tall papaya growing now (I suspect it was an agristarts tissue cultured self fertile variety).
Since planting it outside the leaves have gone from a solid even green color to an almost "speckled" complexion with lighter green spots. I can't quite tell from your picture - but did you notice any leaf discoloration when putting yours outside?
scottlk, do you have an extension where you can bring the leaf for diagnosis?
Below link shows what ringspot virus looks like.
Here is a link that might be useful: papaya ringspot virus
Hmm - I found a few other pics and I think my poor little guy may have ringspot virus. According to a USDA list it is a prevalent plant virus in California.
Oh well, it's still growing well at this point so I guess as long as there's nothing else nearby for it to infect (squash, cucumber,...) I won't worry too much about it.
Okay - now I think it looks more like powdery mildew... I'll check the underside of the leaves tomorow, it does get hit with realtively high salintiy San Diego water lawn sprinklers every day too... I'n not sure if my $10 plant is worth taking to get checked out - so whatever it is I'll probably just watch and see how it does.
Hydro: No, I let it die completely the second season. There was no way I would have been able to protect it.
Scott: I can't remember if the leaves took on a sort of mottled coloration (sort of like a summer squash leaf). If you have low humidity, you may need to watch for mites though.
I think the spotting is normal in temperate climates. Im in a zone 10 region, averaging about 5C overnight at present and my 3 Papaya [in ground, outdoors] are showing some yellowy spots. The plants are otherwise healthy, although barely growing at all right now, so Im not too worried.
I have some papaya trees that have grown from seed. They have big green fruit, but each fruit has many holes with white juice oozing out. I picked a couple of the fruits and cut them open and the inside was all mush with small white seeds that were not fully formed. What kind of pest could be causing this damage?
I've got two of these growing from seed from store bought fruit up here in tropical Syracuse, NY. I almost lost them this summer from too much rain or repotting, or both. (I put them outside for the summer) but although all the lower leaves died and fell off, the top ones came back with a vengence! It's been quit hot and humid this summer. It would be great if I could get them to grow fruit up here, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. They're over a year old now and they're only about 16" tall. But if I can grow them up here in this zone, anyone can. It's my hobby to grow tropical plants up here though. (I have 15 different palm trees although I lost a coconut palm after a year. I also have a Dwarf Banana, two Pineapple plants, Passion Fruit vine, Kiwi plant, Kumquat plant, a blooming Aloe Vera, a Sago palm, a Bird of Paradise and several Kiwano or African Horned Melon Vines.) About the only thing I have trouble getting started is a Mango. Tried it sevral time from seed but can't get it started without the seed rotting.
I grow papayas every year. The easiest way is to start the seeds mid summer and when they are less than 4 inches tall move them into large pots, one plant per pot. I overwinter them inside under lights or in my simple hoophouse (which gets down to 40 degrees). The next spring I plant any survivors outside in a mound of potting soil/compost/mulch with lots of slow release fertilizer added to it. Once the summer temps get hot the plants take off and start blooming around now. I've never gotten fruit to ripen fully but you can cook the green ones - tastes like squash. I'm not a huge fan of papaya fruit anyway, but I do like the seeds which taste like radishes.
When the weather is really hot and humid you cannot over feed them or over water them if you have them airy compost/mulch-y soil.
When you grow them in a pot they can rot if over watered - especially in the winter when they want more intense light and longer days. So I keep them very dry in the winter. You can't let them completely wilt either - they don't always recover. Growing them in fluffy/airy media helps out a lot.
Sometimes when mine are first placed outside in the late spring or when first planted in the ground - the leaves will get a speckled look. It eventually goes away with the next flush of leaves. I think it is related to the fertilizer mixed in the water splashing on the leaves. All my tropicals get it that first month outside.

Baton Rouge woman celebrates 105th birthday
POSTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 7:30pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 10:28pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Celia Dawson turned 105 years old this week.
St. Clair Manor threw a birthday party for her Tuesday, and her granddaughters and great-great-granddaughters joined her.
Dawson lived on her own until she was 101 years old, and said keeping her nose out of other people's business is what has helped her live such a long life.
She also jokes about how young she is.
"When I reminded her that her birthday was coming up and she was going to be 105, she said, no, she couldn't be, she must've been in her 80's," her granddaughter, Lolita Boykin, said. "But we were able to show her that was 105, and she was like, 'okay, I'm going to be in the newspaper.'"
St. Clair Manor has experience throwing big parties like this; it currently has four residents who are at least 100 years old.

Sometimes, as many leaks as occur in the blogosphere, a new device can still come out of left field. Consider the Libretto W100 a case in point. In honor of 25 years making laptops, Toshiba dusted off a legendary brand, their Libretto series of ultra-light notebooks. They did a similar stunt to celebrate the 20th anniversary when they released the Libretto U100, however that 80s throwback didn't hold a candle to the glory that is the W100.
Dual 7 inch multitouch screens, 6 styles of virtual keyboard, Windows 7, 64GB SSD…this may be the device that so many concept machines over the last year have dreamt of being. The best part is that Toshiba isn't just trotting these around to the trade shows, showing them off safely under glass….they are going to be actually SELLING these in limited quantities.
There is one small problem however….the price. IF you can find one to buy (no word yet on how "limited" those limited quantities will be), it will set you back a cool thousand dollars.
I admit it, if I had the chance to buy one…I would be sorely tempted. Now if HP would just make an anniversary Jornada.

Patrick Juste, owner of Les Cousins, a Miami boutique specializing in Haitian art, literature, and music, says that Martelly is the top-selling Haitian artist in South Florida. "His music moves," Juste observes. Sweet Micky's CDs also do well in other cities of the Haitian diaspora, and Martelly was a nominee for outstanding male artist at this year's Haitian Music Awards, held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. Last year he won best album of the year.
For those who hold fast to ideological verities, Sweet Micky's success is now bitterly ironic. Unlike other Haitian musicians, including those in the internationally known band Boukman Eksperyans and singer Manno Charlemagne, who risked their lives to criticize the de facto military government, Martelly spent the coup years entertaining leaders and their factotums. While Charlemagne and others were living in exile, Martelly operated a nightclub called the Garage, which was patronized by the military and other members of the ruling elite.
Martelly openly acknowledges his friendship with Lt. Col. Michel François, the former Port-au-Prince police chief who along with Cedras helped orchestrate the coup against Aristide. François was recently indicted for drug trafficking by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami. An avid Sweet Micky fan, François adopted that moniker as his nickname.
From cab drivers in Miami to slum dwellers in Port-au-Prince, Sweet Micky enthusiasts say they are withholding judgment on his politics. Martelly's supporters point out he is also close to members of the current government, U.S. diplomats, and progressive rappers like the Fugees. (Group members Wyclef Jean, Prakazrel Michel, and Lauryn Hill stop by Martelly's home in Port-au-Prince when they are in Haiti, and Jean and Martelly perform a compas song together on Jean's new solo album.)
"You have to take [the friendship with Michel Francois] out of the political context," says Gesner Champagne, a childhood buddy who married Martelly's wife's sister. "You might like the conversation you have with that person. You might like the good time you have with that person. It doesn't have to be political. You just like the guy."
Sitting at the bar at the Spirit, Champagne emphasizes Martelly's ability to attract fans across the political and social spectrum. "Sweet Micky is the only one who brings everyone together," he claims. "I don't care if you are from the slums of Cite Soleil or from Petionville [a city built in the hills above Port-au-Prince where most wealthy Haitians live]; Sweet Micky brings everyone together in peace and they enjoy his music."
Stanley Schrager, the former spokesman of the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, acknowledges Martelly's reputation as a supporter of the military but concedes that he too views the entertainer as a friend. "Our relationship has been nonpolitical," Schrager says. "I admire him very much as a performer. He can generate tremendous passion, intensity, and energy."
During Schrager's tour of duty in Port-au-Prince he spent a few months as Martelly's neighbor. Since Schrager returned to the States last year, the two men have remained in touch. "He's a sincere family man who pays a lot of attention to his kids," Schrager asserts. "He's kind of a quiet, thoughtful guy, a genuinely likable type." Schrager adds that Martelly has not discussed his political ambitions with him. "He certainly is well-known, so he has a lot of name recognition," Schrager muses. "Any candidacy he would undertake would clearly generate a lot of attention, though he would obviously have to deal with the allegations of his closeness to the former military regime."
Martelly was born in 1961. Haiti was securely in the thrall of François ("Papa Doc") Duvalier, a country doctor who would subsequently declare himself "an immaterial being," "the personification of the Haitian fatherland," and "president for life." There was civic order, as nostalgic Duvalierists are quick to point out, enforced by Duvalier's civilian militia, better known as the Tonton Macoutes or the Volunteers for National Security. The Macoutes outnumbered the Haitian Army by at least two to one and functioned as a secret-police force preventing Duvalier's overthrow. Their methods were brutal and their power virtually unchecked.
When Martelly was ten, Papa Doc died and governing authority was transferred to his nineteen-year-old son, Jean-Claude ("Baby Doc") Duvalier. Francois Duvalier had espoused Noirisme, a political philosophy advocating the transfer of power from the affluent mulatto minority to the mostly impoverished black majority. Duvalier attempted to accomplish this by confiscating property and suppressing his opposition. But under Jean-Claude the relationship between the government and the small mulatto elite, to which the Martelly family belonged, improved.
Gerard Martelly, Michel's father, supervised the Shell petroleum plant, located in Carrefour. The family lived near the plant, in that rundown part of the city that today is the red-light district. The Martellys were traditionally middle-class, observing strict rules of comportment: They went to church. They did not curse. They ate meals together.
But rebellion ran in Martelly's blood. His maternal grandfather was a troubadour who had penned protest songs against the 1915-34 U.S. occupation. Martelly hung out with the poor kids from Carrefour and taught himself to play piano by ear. Though his parents sent him to the best schools, he was repeatedly expelled for poor behavior. Once Martelly organized his fellow students into a mock orchestra, improvising tiny instruments from his mother's hairpins. Another time he hid a frog in a matchbox, carefully positioned so the liberated amphibian would jump straight up his teacher's dress.

Step 1: Auto lock in a squishy carry like ashe or tristana Step 2: Instantly call mid solo after you lock in Step 3: Die a few times to mid Step 4: Call your team bad for not ganking or calling mias Step 5: Afk at base while saying in all chat how bad your team is Step 6: Run into enemy base, then proceed to call the other team bad for taking so long to kill you If you are denied mid solo, immediately afk at base for 25 minutes to run into enemy towers.
Pro tips. I will use them with respect. I do wonder how someone would be afk and typing in all chat at the same time though.
A few of these steps are close to the summoning method from the Tiernomicon, however steps 4 and 5 aren't accurate to the summoning technique; the 'summoner' must repeat the verses from the Tiernomicon, not chat to the other teams. Step 6 is required to be done in silence; one is not even allowed to hint at the feel of pain during this step for the summoning ritual to work. If done correctly, it will summon Elementz to devour your team, the enemy team, and the enemy Nexus, resulting in a win for the summoner, but a loss for everyone else, even the summoner's teammates.

Taking their inspiration from the philosophy of sampling, William Burroughs' cut-up technique, Jeff Noon's "Cobralingus" project and too many long nights spent on music mixing desks, Nottingham art-text-terrorists the Lazarus Corporation have created an online mixing desk - for writing. The text mixing desk manipulates your writing with a succession of outboard effects - such as the "transgenderiser", which swaps the sex of any gender-specific words faster than a Thai plastic surgeon, and the Burroughs inspired "cut-up engine" which takes a pair of scissors to your work and dances gleefully on the bleeding remains of your carefully constructed sentences. But why on earth would you want to mangle your precisely worded prose in this way Well, the Godfather of Beat and author of "Naked Lunch", William S Burroughs, explains it best: "The best writing seems to be done almost by accident but writers until the cut-up method was made explicit ... had no way to produce the accident of spontaneity. You cannot will spontaneity. But you can introduce the spontaneous factor with a pair of scissors." ... or in the case of the Lazarus Corporation's text mixing desk, with some sharply written lines of code. This is, after all, the 21st century.

I am interested in researching JETT/GARRISON families mainly in Iowa/Tennessee/Kentucky/Oklahoma/Missouri/Arkansas/Texas and Virginia and Murphy/Organ/Gorvin families
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRANSFER ANY MEMORIAL! Just ask
"Dear Ancestor"
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

THANKS SO MUCH for revising the listing for Mae Eveline Fairall... SO QUICKLY !!
Is it possible to add dates?
Birth: Jan 1850
Death: Mar 1924
Also... could you revise the word 'spinster' to 'devoted' music teacher (piano)
I did not know that you would add my comments to her listing... probably my use of the word 'spinster' was not kind.

Mae Heard (Oakland Cemetery)
Mem: 94886981 Mae Heard (Oakland Cemetery..Iowa)
FANTASTIC to find Mae's headstone. (I discovered the listing while researching her sister, Anna Rachel Fairall Heard). Is it possible to revise the listing for Mae to 'Mae Eveline Fairall'? Mae was a spinster music teacher and was the last living member of her 'Fairall' family in Iowa City IA. Her father was Truman Fairall (1799-1869); her mother was Mary Pusey Husband Fairall (1810-1892); her siblings were: Anna Rachel Fairall Heard (1828-1910; Martha 'Mattie I. Fairall Fickey (1832-1911); Samuel Husband Fairall (1835-1909); Herman Harrison Fairall (1840-1912); Herbert Snowden Fairall (1854-1907).

RE: Selden Jett Cemetery
Hey Bobby, just give me a few weeks to start again on the family tree - had to put my mom's house up for sale so she can move in with me so everything is crazy right now. I will be glad to help any way I can. There are if I remember correctly 7 graves on the Beach Farm cemetery. My dad's brother and sister are buried there. Just give me a little time to get my mom settled and I will figure it out for you. And this spring if you want me to take you up there will be glad too. Also to the Sid Jett one and the Seldon Jett one. Take care and will talk to you soon.

text: Dear Editor Greetings. I offer my op-ed article below freely and on a non-exclusive basis for your review or recommendation to other editors for publication. The entire text must be published without any abridgment. Sincerely, Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology) Boyertown, PA. 19512 How Does My DNA Work? by Babu G. Ranganathan Haven't you ever asked yourself how you got your nose, eyes, ears, fingers, toes, and everything else? How did your DNA bring all this about? Before we answer that question we need to know just a few simple things about DNA. DNA is the abbreviated name for the genetic code and it is exactly that - a code. It is a molecular string of chemical information. DNA is located in the nucleus of our cells and is made up of smaller molecules called nucleic acids. These smaller molecules in DNA are arranged in a sequence, just like the letters in a sentence. The sequence of these nucleic acids tells the cells of our body how to build our nose, eyes, hands, feet, and everything else. If the sequence for a particular trait isn't in our genetic code, then our bodies won't build it. If the sequence for producing wings is not in the genetic code of an animal then that animal will not develop wings regardless of the environment. The material our body uses to build new cells comes from the food we eat. Food is not just for energy. Food is also the "lumber" and "bricks" the body uses to build new cells. When a cell multiplies, it makes more cells of the same size. The only way to do this is by getting new material and that new material comes from food. When food is digested and broken down to its basic amino acids, the various amino acids are then rearranged in a certain sequence to form cells that make up the various tissues and organs. What sequence these amino acids come together in is determined by the sequence of the molecules in DNA. Thus, when you feed your dog a T-Bone steak, your dog's DNA will make sure that steak is digested and rearranged to form the various parts of your dog, but when you eat the same steak, your DNA will make sure that the steak is digested and rearranged to form human parts. When scientists study genes, they are studying segments of the DNA molecule. No one has shown that DNA can come into existence by chance! It takes DNA to get DNA! In other words, there must already exist DNA to direct the formation of more DNA. Yes, it is true that the individual molecules which make up DNA have been shown to be able to come into existence by chance. But, it has never been shown that those individual molecules can come together into a sequence by chance to form the genetic code. The mathematical odds of even the simplest DNA molecule coming into existence by chance is comparable to a monkey typing the sequence of all the letters and words in a dictionary by randomly hitting keys on a computer keyboard. Genetic information, like any other information, doesn't happen by chance. Therefore, it's far more logical to believe that the genetic similarities between all forms of life are because of a common Designer or Genetic Engineer (God) who designed similar functions for similar purposes in all the various forms of life. Micro-evolution, or variations within a biological kind such as the varieties of dogs, cats, horses, and cows, is science but not macro-evolution. Macro-evolution, variations across kinds, is not science but faith. The genes exist in all species for micro-evolution but not for macro-evolution, and there is no scientific evidence that random genetic mutations caused by natural forces such as radiation can or will generate entirely new genes for entirely new traits. Another problem for macro-evolution is the issue of survival of the fittest. How can a partially evolved species be fit for survival? A partially evolved trait or organ that is not completely one or the other will be a liability to a species, not a survival asset. Science cannot prove the existence of God but neither can science prove that we are here by chance. Both sides of the evolution/intelligent design controversy should have opportunity to present their scientific arguments to students. No one is being forced to believe in God so there is no real violation of separation of church and state. The author, Babu G. Ranganathan, has his bachelor's degree with concentrations in theology and biology and has been recognized for his writings on religion and science in the 24 th edition of Marquis "Who's Who In The East." -- Babu Gopal Ranganathan bgrnathan en fastmail.fm ------------ próxima parte ------------ Se ha borrado un adjunto en formato HTML...

Republicans and Their Love Children (I Can Has Contraceptive?)
Strom Thurmand and his love child |
Strom Thurmond
Turns out Strom Thurmond, the strict segregationist from South Carolina, who thankfully is dead, was full of shit the entire time! While he was trying to keep blacks and whites separated, he actually had a biracial love child by his family's teenaged maid aaaaaallll the way back in 1925.
Thurmond was then only 22. Thumbs up for hypocrisy!!
Go easy on me. IUDs weren't around yet. |
Thomas Jefferson
While Jefferson wasn't technically a Republican, the GOP definitely claims him as one of its own because he didn't like big government. One more comparison: He had many, many love children by one of his slaves, Sally Hemings, who, strangely, was also the half-sister of his wife.
Now that's a reality TV show.

Ready Check: Dealing with a low DPSer {WoW}
Aug 29th 2011 12:58PM I think it's also up to the raid leader to understand what assignments he's putting DPS on and how the group is standing. As a feral, I always hate fights where I have to stand in front of the boss.
For example, our initial stratey for Cho'gall was to have everyone group up in front, with the tank, to make interupting MC'd people easier. I pleaded to be able to stand behind but to no avail. So, I slowly started strafing until I was behing Cho'gall. My DPS went up by 1500 points (so I did about half a million more damage to Cho'gall).

My dad go super excited and started rubbing it into my mom's and brother's faces about how important Thrall was, how they didn't know who Thrall was because they don't play, etc. My dad was really raving about this present from Thrall.

Ready Check: Ranged DPS can be harder than you thought {WoW}
Mar 21st 2011 12:50PM I've always thought that in terms of DPS, melee always bear the brunt of the badness. Melee on a whole tend to have less positioning options and more movement issues. Chasing adds as a melee is a lot harder than as a ranged.
Also, Blizzard doesn't seem to favor melee heavy raids. I cannot think of a single encounter, beyond Gunship, where a raid is not screwed by being melee heavy over ranged heavy. Heck, for 10 mans currently, it's rough having more than 2-3 melee (including the 2nd tank).

I've finished my Miscmods game as the Greater Polish Commonwealth (self-modded) in 1784 with the revoking of the privileges. I could continue to 1821 but that would be pointless as I've finished my final goal and the game moves at a crawl by now.
Amusing stuff:
-England has been exiled to Jamaica.
-Seville was a superpower for most of the game but imploded in the last few years, probably because of losing Mexico
-Having a dishonourable scum in the Empire is great, as it allows you to get ridiculous amounts of authority from all the wars declared on them.
-A Chinese revolter actually managed to reforge the nation instead of plunging into endless civil war. That's a first in my games.
-Russia is Muslim (a pet project of mine as I was beating back the hordes)
-Riga is Jewish
-Despite being a one-island nation, Mallorca has carved a huge African empire.

Oceans Apart: The Brazilian Revolution & Across Oceans: Brazils Ongoing Struggle (completed)
The Ancient Empire - A Persian AAR for V2 (ongoing)
Continuing from my previous post of my Yaroslavl game
1399-1821 Switzerland. No expansion. No vassals. No alliances.
Basically played it through as a survival challenge, to turn Switzerland into a relatively neutral armed camp that nobody wanted to mess with. Nobody ended up declaring war on me, though I did participate in several wars - including two against Austria.
It was difficult at times to hold myself to my self-imposed restrictions. No grain provinces mean no Grain Depot, and no port connected to Bern meant my trade was restricted to Europe. Early on, when I could at best eke out 30k-ish troops, France and Austria made me really nervous. I built a CoT after the MRs switched to Administrative.
I started a few trade wars to help build up my Military Tradition so I could keep running a level 5/6 Army Organizer, Commandant, and Sergeant Major General as my advisers. I ended finding a better technique for building up my Tradition - rebel hunting. I became the mercenary rebel hunter of Europe and the Middle East, just give me Military Access and I would sweep them away.
It helped finding a large country that was suffering a high revolt risk. I started out doing a lot of hunting in France, before moving on to Georgia and Russia. Helped out my relations quite a bit too.
Austria was quite the bully towards the end of the game. I ended up guaranteeing both Georgia and Russia to discourage Austria from continued expansion in their direction. They tested me once by attacking Georgia, and got their nose bloodied for their trouble. They did get off light, though, since it didn't make me war leader and Georgia settled for a white peace by the time I cut Austria's army in half.
My other war against Austria was one I started, so I could briefly take Tirol in order to enact the Gold Standard decision - then sell the province off the next day.
Fun country notes:
The Netherlands was going strong about 20-30 years ago. Then La Plata (which apparently includes Madagascar) revolted, and Austria decided to give the Dutch a beatdown, forcing them to release Brabant and taking some provinces in Scandanavia.
Brazil in West Africa, with a couple provinces in Bolivia thrown in for good measure.
Quebec revolted in Quebec, aside from its capitol which was the Turks Islands. Looks like Finland took most of it back.
Haiti actually in Haiti.
Siena and Genoa migrated to the New World.

How could you possibly go through the entire game with only 2-3 wars??? That's epic. Though you should have got a port, Nice is kind of historical as the Swiss Navy is based in a port in that area?

I'm shocked Austria has 0% inflation. What sort of black magic is at work here??
@Ryuujin95 Wow, that's seriously impressive, and good job sticking to your house rules even when they were beginning to bite!

My Cornwall-Britannia empire in miscmods shattered Europe:
Note: No Castille => no christian DOTF => Stable Ottomans, coincedence?
Just me and my vassals:
And my income:
Note how France, Estonia, Denmark and Netherlands are my vassals and in top 10 of income.
I played it relatively peaceful, finding out the colonisation options of miscmods. It was great. Qitzi and Tarrbitz revolted of Seville and Badajoz.
I never released the aztecs, mayas, zapotec and inca's, but when I came to the new world I allied and RMd (im druidic) instead of conquering them. The iberians didn't want to try to attack me over it, although they did try a few times in the last 50 years.
The culture changing of the colonial revolters and culture changing of asian and african colonies is really cool (although the non-accepted culture penalty is a sad side-effect, it is more realistic however i feel). Sadly not all of England and Scotland changed welsh, so I did not see all the Gaelic name changing events.

For, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
EDIT: nevermind, fixed

It ain't coincidence, england and castille are the worst ottoman destroyers that exist. You destroyed England and castille doesn't exist so the ottomans live another day.
My first post on this forum.
Death & Taxes mod, started as Byzantium, then formed the Roman Empire.
Always allied with Novgord until I found they broke the alliance (then I started to send spy and support patriots to divide the empire).
With Holy war conquered Persia, Mamluks and Timurids, and on the west side started to infiltrate the HRE.
I vassallized 7-8 of HRE members (and 3 Electors until I became the emperor, and with these wars I forced half of them to convert to Orthodox).
Used a lot of diplomats to increase relations with them and a lot of magistrate to add new provences to the HRE.
Then started to enact all the HRE reforms.
Here the results, now I have to consolidate a lot of colonies in Africa and America
