A Dangerous Surplus of Sons?
Two political scientists warn that Asia's lopsided sex ratios threaten
world peace
By DAVID GLENN
A body of Chinese poetry, The Book of
Songs, believed to date from 1000-700
B.C., offers this advice to new parents:
When a son is born
Let him sleep on the bed,
Clothe him with fine clothes.
And give him jade to play with. ...
When a daughter is born,
Let her sleep on the ground,
Wrap her in common wrappings,
And give her broken tiles for playthings.
In many parts of Asia, that advice appears to have stuck. Centuries
later, a strong preference for sons persists, enhanced by technology that
increasingly allows parents to realize their desires. Amniocentesis and
ultrasound can easily identify the sex of a fetus, and sex-selective
abortion has become an everyday practice. Daughters who are born are
frequently given up, and thousands are adopted out of the country every
year. On the horizon are inexpensive sperm-sorting techniques that will
guarantee a son even before conception. New technology, of course, is
not the only factor; in some rural areas, old-fashioned female
infanticide still lingers.
The reasons for the persistence of offspring sex selection, and the exact
numbers of pregnancies involved, have been hotly debated since the
early 1990s, when the economist Amartya Sen called attention to the
phenomenon of "missing women." By some social scientists' measure,
more than 100 million females are now missing from the populations of
India and China. Mr. Sen and others have argued that sex selection both
reflects and reinforces women's low social status, which -- beyond its
intrinsic cruelty -- impedes the development of democracy and
prosperity in male-skewed nations. Scholars and feminist organizations
in both Asia and the West have produced many volumes of often
conflicting advice about how to combat the practice.
Now two political scientists have joined the fray with an ominous
argument: Offspring sex selection could soon lead to war.
In a new book, Bare Branches: Security Implications of Asia's Surplus
Male Population (MIT Press), Valerie M. Hudson and Andrea M. den
Boer warn that the spread of sex selection is giving rise to a generation
of restless young men who will not find mates. History, biology, and
Chart: Showing how the
number of boys vastly
outnumber girls in countries
where sex-selective abortions
have become more common

sociology all suggest that these "surplus males" will generate high
levels of crime and social disorder, the authors say. Even worse, they
continue, is the possibility that the governments of India and China will
build up huge armies in order to provide a safety valve for the young
men's aggressive energies.
"In 2020 it may seem to China that it would be worth it to have a very
bloody battle in which a lot of their young men could die in some
glorious cause," says Ms. Hudson, a professor of political science at
Brigham Young University.
Those apocalyptic forecasts garnered a great deal of attention when the
scholars first presented them, in the journal International Security, in
2002. "The thing that excites me about this research is how fundamental
demography is," says David T. Courtwright, a professor of history at
the University of North Florida and author of Violent Land: Single Men
and Social Disorder From the Frontier to the Inner City (Harvard
University Press, 1996), a study of sex ratios and murder rates in
American history. "The basic idea that they have, that in some sense
demography is social destiny -- that's a very powerful idea."
But other experts are unpersuaded. They say that Ms. Hudson and Ms.
den Boer's argument rests too heavily on a few isolated historical cases,
and that the authors have failed to establish a systematic correlation
between sex ratios and violence. Critics also suggest that the argument
promotes false stereotypes of men and masculinity, and that the authors
do not offer detailed knowledge of Asian societies and political
systems. Offspring sex selection is indeed a serious problem, the critics
say, but to treat it as a problem of international security is an
unwarranted distraction.
Baby Ka-boom
The two political scientists began their project in the mid-1990s, when
Ms. den Boer -- who is now a lecturer in international politics at the
University of Kent, in England -- was a graduate student at Brigham
Young. Ms. Hudson regularly assigned the philosopher Daniel Little's
book Understanding Peasant China: Case Studies in the Philosophy of
Social Science (Yale University Press, 1989), which mentions that 19th-
century Chinese rebellions were concentrated in areas that were
disproportionately male.
Intrigued by that insight, Ms. Hudson and Ms. den Boer began to search
for similar patterns elsewhere. "It was sort of random research at the
beginning," says Ms. den Boer. "Where has female-selective infanticide
been prevalent in the past? Then we looked at where the practice is
prevalent today ... and then looked further at the correlations with
"I don't think we initially set out to write a book," she continues. "We
initially, in fact, just wrote a conference paper. There was a lot of
interest in that paper. The CIA came to the university and spoke with us
about it, and wanted to know what United States policy should be
toward countries that have this prevalence of infanticide and high sex
ratios." (In demographers' jargon, a "high-sex-ratio" society is male-
skewed, and a "low-sex-ratio" society is disproportionately female. The

worldwide sex ratio is estimated to be 101, meaning that there are 101
men for every 100 women.)
Bare Branches offers some disheartening numbers: In 1993 and 1994,
more than 121 boys were born in China for every 100 baby girls. (The
normal ratio at birth is around 105; for reasons debated among
biologists, humans seem naturally to churn out slightly more boys than
girls.) In India during the period 1996 to 1998, the birth ratio was 111
to 100; in Taiwan in 2000, it was 109.5. In 1990 a town near New Delhi
reported a sex ratio at birth of 156.
Scholars have offered a number of explanations for the remarkable
persistence of son-preference, which has lingered even in regions
confronted by modernizing forces and government efforts to stamp out
female infanticide. A powerful Chinese social norm, especially strong
in rural areas, holds that sons must care for their parents in old age;
people without sons thus fear poverty and neglect. In both India and
China, various folk beliefs hold that only a son can perform the
religious rituals that will ease a deceased parent's way into the afterlife.
Some scholars suggest that those norms and beliefs are remnants of a
long-ago time when there were narrowly rational reasons to prefer sons
to daughters. Anthropological studies have found, for example, that
female infanticide and son-worship sometimes emerge in warring
nomadic communities that frequently lose many men in battle, or that
are vulnerable to having their women and children kidnapped by a rival
group. In such situations, the theory goes, a group can preserve its
integrity by tightly controlling the number of women within it.
Another theory holds that son-preference is a byproduct of hypergyny, a
system in which women are expected to marry men of higher social
rank. Strongly hypergynous societies tend to have dowry rituals; the
bride's family gives money to the groom's family as an emblem of the
bride's subordinate status. (A Chinese truism says: "The family of the
married daughter holds its head down, while the family of the man
whom she has married holds its head up.") The great cost and social
shame long associated with dowries can make parents cringe at the
thought of having a new daughter.
Americans often assume that hypergyny and a preference for sons must
be self-correcting, according to Ms. Hudson. As marriageable daughters
become scarce, people will choose to produce more of them. Simple
supply and demand, right?
"If there's an economist in the audience," the professor says, "he or she
will raise this point: 'When you make something scarce, you'll make it
more valuable -- this will improve the social position of women.' And
it's just utterly false. ... It doesn't take account of the fact that the
woman herself does not hold her value. That is, she herself could not
use her scarcity to improve her condition, because her fate is
determined by men, either her father or her husband's family. She
herself cannot leverage her scarcity."
"There's also a sort of NIMBY phenomenon that goes on here," Ms.
Hudson continues, alluding to the "not in my backyard" attitude.
"Individual fathers and families will say, Yes, it's important that girls be
Page 3 of 8The Chronicle: 4/30/2004: A Dangerous Surplus of Sons?

born, that there be wives for our sons. But I want a son! We'll let
somebody else have the girls."
Breeding Instability?
Whatever the causes of sex selection, Ms. Hudson and Ms. den Boer are
certain that it threatens the stability of eastern Asia.
"We're right on the cusp," says Ms. Hudson. By that she means that
birth ratios began to skew around 1985, as sex-selection technology
spread, and that the "surplus" boys born in the late 1980s are just now
reaching adulthood. "With every passing year, these surplus males will
become more and more an important social factor." She cites news
reports of spikes in drinking, gambling, and violent crime among young
men in rural Indian villages.
As their ranks grow, these unmarried young men are likely to be
attracted to militant organizations, the authors say. In such an "unstable
context," they write, the conflicts over Taiwan and Kashmir, for
example, are unlikely to be permanently settled. What's more, the
governments of Asian nations may cope with the social strains caused
by their "bare branches" -- a Chinese term for men who cannot find
spouses -- by turning to militarism and ultranationalism.
"The security logic of high-sex-ratio societies predisposes nations to see
some utility in interstate conflict," the authors write. In addition to
stimulating a steadier allegiance from bare branches, who are especially
motivated by issues involving national pride and martial prowess,
conflict is often an effective mechanism by which governments can
send bare branches away from national population centers, possibly
never to return."
The authors rest their case in part on historical case studies. Female
infanticide was rampant in 18th-century China, and the Qing dynasty
responded by encouraging single men to colonize Taiwan, they write.
As a result, Taiwan developed an extremely high sex ratio and soon was
swept by groups that combined banditry with anti-imperial rebellion.
The "Heaven and Earth Society" became so powerful that in 1787 the
government was forced to send thousands of troops to restore order.
A similar story had unfolded in 16th-century Portugal, where
primogeniture was in practice. Because first-born sons inherited
everything, many later-born sons had no chance of finding wives.
According to James L. Boone, a University of New Mexico
anthropologist, such later-born sons banded together to persuade the
monarch to launch wars of conquest in Africa. "It was above all the
cadets," Mr. Boone wrote, "who lacked land and other sources of
revenue within the country, who desired war, which would permit them
to accede to a position of social and material independence."
Ms. Hudson and Ms. den Boer also point to a series of empirical tests --
including one they have conducted themselves -- demonstrating a
positive correlation between sex ratios and murder rates across India.
Nothing in the two women's arguments, however, persuades Joshua S.
Goldstein, a professor emeritus of international relations at George
Page 4 of 8The Chronicle: 4/30/2004: A Dangerous Surplus of Sons?

Washington University, who wrote War and Gender: How Gender
Shapes the War System and Vice Versa (Cambridge University Press,
2001). "The problem with their design is that they're basically just
picking cases that fit their hypothesis, and so you don't know whether
it's generalizable or not," he says. Mr. Goldstein would prefer a much
more systematic study, one that would try to identify how sex ratios
interact with other variables that are believed to be linked to instability
and war: rapid population growth, ethnic tension, poverty, and unstable
availability of resources.
Melvin Ember agrees. "Arguing by example is not anywhere near truth
or confirmation," says Mr. Ember, president of the Human Relations
Area Files, a repository of anthropological data at Yale University. "A
better study would look at a large, randomly selected sample of
societies with high, low, and normal sex ratios, he says. "It just requires
a little bit of good will and money. The statistical techniques and the
databases exist."
A similar complaint is offered by Manju Parikh, an associate professor
of political science at the College of St. Benedict, who has written
about offspring sex selection. "This is an example of social-science
inductive reasoning, but it's not a very good example," she says. "They
have to show why other explanations don't do as well. This is not a
unique situation" -- that is, she says, many countries with normal sex
ratios have also been prone to instability and war.
Those complaints reflect a too-rigid model of explaining the world,
responds Ms. Hudson, who teaches courses in social-science
methodology. "This critique goes to the heart of how we know anything
in the social sciences," she says, arguing that because skewed sex ratios
are a still-emerging variable, it is appropriate to sketch their potential
effects more loosely, using what she and Ms. den Boer call
"confirmatory process tracing."
"I encourage others who wish to perform additional analysis using other
methods to do so," Ms. Hudson says. "But until a question is even
raised, it cannot be addressed."
Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Parikh also worry that the Bare Branches
argument leans too heavily on what they regard as crude evolutionary
models of male behavior. "The authors seem to completely lack
empathy for these low-status rootless men," says Ms. Parikh. "These
guys are the victims of development, and they call them criminals and
potential criminals. This is so appalling." For instance, contrary to the
book's suggestion, she says, most migrant workers in Asia maintain
strong kinship ties with their home villages, send money home every
month, and are nothing like the untethered marauders pictured in the
authors' warnings.
The term "surplus males," Mr. Goldstein says, "is offensive, and for
lack of a better term, sexist. They're making a very conservative
argument, which is sort of wrapped up in a feminist skin." It is a
mistake, he says, to draw easy lessons from the finding that unmarried
men tend to have higher testosterone levels than do their married peers.
Ms. Hudson says she herself is skeptical of sociobiological explanations

Paulson & Co. has abandoned its huge stake in Chinese timberland owner Sino-Forest Corp., taking a huge loss for its investors.
The US$37 billion New York-based firm said yesterday that it had sold off its entire 14% stake in Sino-Forest. That company, accused of overstating its timber holdings in China by hedge fund Muddy Waters, has seen its stock price plummet 85% since the beginning of the month.
That translates to a US$720 million loss for Paulson, whose nearly 35 million Sino-Forest shares were worth C$815.8 million in April but just C$110.7 million at the end of last year, when Paulson said it had sold the last of its shares. On the bright side for the hedge fund, Paulson sold off its stake prior to a Saturday report in the Globe & Mail newspaper backing some of Muddy Waters' claims, which sent Sino-Forest shares down even further yesterday.
Sino-Forest has denied the allegations against it.
"Due to the uncertainty over Sino-Forest's public disclosures and financial statements, we have sold our stock and await the results of the independent committee's investigation," Paulson said. The hedge fund, which had invested in the company since at least March 2008, was Sino-Forest's largest shareholder.

7 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures ANAEROBIC SPECIMEN COLLECTING AND TRANSPORTING DEVICE The present invention pertains to devices for conveniently collecting and preserving an anaerobic culture specimen for subsequent transportation to a laboratory for analysis.
The collection of anaerobic culture specimens from wound drainage and tissues requires careful handling and preservation to prevent destruction of the specimens prior to analysis; since the specimens are frequently collected in a physicians office or other location remote from a laboratory having proper facilities for analysis of the specimen; the handling of the specimens immediately after collection and prior to analysis in the laboratory is of great significance. Prior art devices for maintaining the proper conditions for preservation of such anaerobic samples are usually complicated and cumbersome. While portability of bacteriological specimens is a recognized desideratum, there does not appear to be any existing device capable of protecting the anaerobic specimens immediately subsequent to collection and prior to analysis.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for the convenient collection and preservation of anaerobic specimens.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device for anaerobic specimen collection and transportation that is self-contained and upon actuation will provide a continuous deoxifying effect to prevent destruction of the anaerobes.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a device that is small and readily portable while providing the ready collection of anaerobic specimens combined with the subsequent preservation of the specimens during transportation and storage prior to analysis.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description thereof proceeds.
The present invention may more readily be described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevationalview partly in section of apparatus constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 modified to show another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along lines 3-3;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along lines 4-4.
Referring now to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 a disposable threaded transparent plastic tube is provided with a closure 12 threadedly engaged to the open end thereof. The closure 12 is compartmentalized and includes a first compartment 14 containing frangible ampules 16 which, in the embodiment chosen for illustration in FIG. 1, contains water. The compartment 14 is defined by a vertically movable top 18 and a platform 20 having openings 22 therein to permit the liquid, or water, in
the ampules 16 to descend therethrough.
ment 24 is provided with a hydrogen generating compound 30 which may conveniently be formed of compressed pelletized powder magnesium and compounds to catalytically control the reaction rate such as sodium chloride. The compartment 24 communicates with the compartment 14 through the openings 22, and the hydrogen generated by the mixture of the water in the ampules 16 and the compound 30 is free to circulate from the compartment 24 through the device including a third compartment 32.
The compartment 32 forms a catalyst chamber and contains a material providing catalytic action for the combination of hydrogen given off by the compound 30 with the free oxygen contained in the atmosphere within the tube 10. A variety of catalytic materials may be used; however, palladium coated alumina pellets 34 are commercially available to provide suitable catalytic action to facilitate the reaction between the generated hydrogen and the free oxygen.
A porous mat 36 supports the pellets 34 and prevents pellets or other catalytic compounds from entering the tube 10 but is porous enough to permit the flow of gases throughout the apparatus. The mat 36 may be made from any non-reactive material such as certain metals but is preferably formed of asbestos. A swab 40 is slidably mounted in the closure 12 and may be raised or lowered from the position shown in FIG. 1. The swab may be lubricated at those portions in contact with the closure as it passes through the closure 12 by any sterile viscous non-water soluble lubricant.
The tube 10 is provided with a viscous semigelatinous transport media of the type commercially available (for example, Stuarts Formula Transport Media sold by Baltimore Biological Laboratories). The transport media 42 is specifically modified to provide an oxygen free environment for the preservation of anaerobic specimens. The media may include a resazurin indicator that will provide a pinkish hue to indicate the presence of oxygen and insure that the media will not be used if it has deteriorated. The transport media 42 may also contain cysteine as a reducing agent for the reduction of any oxygen that may have diffused into the media. Prior to the utilization of the apparatus described herein, the swab 40 is maintained out of contact with the media 42; to insure separation, a divider 44 is removably positioned between the tube 10 and the closure 12 and may be conically shaped as shown in FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 2, an alternative form of the present invention is shown wherein an enclosure 46 is provided with a compartment 48 having liquid containing ampules 50 therein. The compartment 48 communicates through openings 22 to a second compartment 54 containing steel wool 56. A porous mat 58 separates the compartments 48 and 54 from the tube 60. In the embodiment shown in FIG. .2, the liquid contained within the ampules 50 is a solution which will react with the steel wool to provide an oxygen utilizing reaction to remove the free oxygen in the atmosphere within the apparatus. The liquid, for example, may be formed of Tween (commercially available from Baltimore Biological Laboratories) and may contain CuSO and H SO The operation of the apparatus of the present invention may be described as follows. The device is stored in substantially the form shown in FIG. 1. When its use is required, the closure 12 is unscrewed from the tube 10 and the divider 44 is discarded. The swab 40 is then utilized in the well known manner for collecting an anaerobic culture specimen from a wound or the like. The swab remains, during this period of time, as a unit with the closure 12. Subsequent to the collection of the specimen, the closure 12 is returned to the tube 10 and the two are threadedly engaged.
The swab 40 is then lowered into the transport media 42 by sliding it downwardly. The ampules 16 are then crushed by applying pressure to the top 18; the water drops through the openings 22 into the compartment 32 in contact with the hydrogen generating pellets 30. A hydrogen rich atmosphere is thus generated and circulates through the device. The hydrogen combines with oxygen present in the atmosphere within the device in the presence of the catalyst 34. The hydrogen rich atmosphere combined with the catalyst provide continuous oxygen purging during storage and transportation of the device to a laboratory having facilities for anaerobiasis. When the storage and transportation time is very brief, it may not be necessary to utilize the transport media and rely instead on'the hydrogen rich atmosphere to combine with the oxygen present to produce a non-destructive environment for the anaerobic specimen.
I claim:
1. An anaerobic specimen collecting and transporting device comprising:
a transport tube for enclosing a specimen and maintaining the specimen in a predetermined atmosphere;
a compartmentalized closure removably secured to,
and sealingly engaging, said tube;
a specimen gathering swab slidably mounted in said closure and extending through said closure into said tube;

Stephen Warren Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information and TechnologyVeterans Affairs Department
The work: Spearheading CIO Roger Baker's strategy for improving the development and management of major programs at VA.
The impact: With Warren riding herd, the Program Management Accountability System, which emphasizes incremental development, helped the agency achieve an 89 percent success rate in program execution, up from 30 percent just three years ago.
The nuts and bolts: Warren helped align the people, processes and technologies needed to make the system possible. "It is his focus on discipline and attention to detail that has enabled our success in so many areas," Baker said.

Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.
Members of Congress heaped hard questions on federal IT leaders at a June 16 hearing and suggested strongly that somebody needs to be fired.
Senate bill carves out exemption for supercomputing and other lab IT; an earlier version of the measure would have exempted the entire Department of Energy.
OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.
Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
The biggest impact Warren had is OI&T employees not being able to get a fair performance appraisal. His direction is that only people "that can walk on water" deserve an outstanding. Supervisors are not willing to defend their ratings under his direction...so no one other than Warren and a few "good ol' boys" get it.
Nice work, so long fairness!

The following is for genealogists with an interest in Jennie's family history.
Ancestor List for Jennie (Jerome) Churchill
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Descendant List
This shows up to five generations of children and grandchildren of Jennie along with their spouses.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Jennie's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Jennie gets her mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Jennie's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants page shows exactly who has inherited Jennie's testable DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Jennie's tree. This is still fairly complex. WikiTree is working on tools that will make it simpler.
Family Group Sheet
This page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's especially handy when someone had children from more than one marriage.
Global Family Reunion Connection
This is a special tool associated with the Global Family Reunion being planned for this June. It enables you to see Jennie's connection to AJ Jacobs, the organizer of the reunion. Note that the Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder.
Images of Jennie
Here are photographs and source images for Jennie. Please contact the profile managers if you have any to add.
Index of Jeromes
This page shows all the Jeromes on WikiTree. It's useful for genealogists with an interest in the surname that goes beyond Jennie. There are a variety of connected tools, such as Jerome DNA Connections and JEROME G2G.
Location Maps
Here are quick links to mapping websites:
Birth: Brooklyn, Kings County, NY on Google Maps | Open Street Map.
Marriage: Unknown.
Marriage: Unknown.
Death: London, Middlesex, England on Google Maps | Open Street Map.
Printer-Friendly Tree
This view parallels the pedigree chart above but it is optimized for printing. It can be used as a fill-in-the-blanks form at a family gathering.
Profile of Jennie
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Jennie's name on WikiTree (and ideally, elsewhere on the Internet!) it will be linked to the profile at http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Jerome-1 where Jerome-1 is Jennie's unique WikiTree ID.
Relationship Finder
Enter Jerome-1 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Jennie and the other person. It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal.
Shareable Family Tree
This is a family tree page for Jennie that is designed for sharing on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. Copy and paste the URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Jerome-1/4 into your favorite social network.
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Jennie's family names. Many members share its URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Jerome-1/10 via e-mail, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.
Here are additional tools to help genealogists collaborate on WikiTree to grow Jennie's family history.
Activity Feed
Here you can view the additions and changes that WikiTree members have made to Jennie's profile so far.
Edit Profile and Relationships
Jennie's edit page is the central location for adding information and correcting mistakes. Is there anything you can add or improve upon? Since you're not logged-in yet you can't make changes directly. Contact the profile managers. Please don't go away without giving us your information and sources. Thank you!
Family Tree Widgets
If you're a blogger who's writing a post about Jennie or have a Jerome family website or surname website you can include one of these widgets to illustrate her tree.
Privacy Setting
You'll notice colored privacy icons in search results, the Jerome surname index, etc. The white dot for Jennie indicates that her profile is Open. Only the profile manager can edit this setting.
Tests of Jennie's DNA
If Jennie's DNA (not a family member's or descendant's DNA) has been tested for genealogical purposes the test or tests should be selected here. This will automatically create connections on the profiles of Jennie's relatives where the test may be useful for confirming relationships. It's very valuable for advanced genealogy. To add tests you need to be on Jennie's Trusted List.
Trusted List
This shows you the WikiTree members who have full power to access and edit Jennie's information. Use it to see who else shares your interest in Jennie and receives updates about changes to the profile. The Relationship Finder icon links next their names will show you their relationship to Jennie.
Here are ways to connect and communicate with genealogists regarding Jennie's profile, especially if you're unable to collaborate directly using the WikiTree Tools above.
Comment on Profile Message Board
Jennie's profile, like all WikiTree profiles, has a section for public comments. This is the best place to put anything you'd like seen by all genealogists who are interested in Jennie. Profile managers are alerted to new comments via e-mail, everyone on the Trusted List will see a notice about it in their activity feeds, and people who visit Jennie's profile in the future will see your comment. You will need to login to post.
E-Card for Jennie
Any image uploaded to WikiTree can be sent as a free e-card, including photos of Jennie or scans of vintage postcards. An e-card can be a great way to tell a genealogist or family member about what's here.
Privacy Take-Down Request Form
If you are Jennie or officially represent her and the profile manager refuses to remove personal information use this form.
Private Message — Directly Contact Profile Manager
Here you can send a private message to a Wiki Genealogist managing Jennie's profile. If there are multiple managers or genealogists involved, you will need to send separate messages. Unless your information is sensitive it's better to post a public comment. Login to post.
Trusted List Request Form
If you're a genealogist with a special interest in collaborating on Jennie's profile, join the Trusted List. The profile is Open so you don't need to be on the Trusted List to edit or improve upon it. You only need to join if you want to receive updates about her in your activity feeds or complete merges. You will need to login first.
If you have sourced information about Jennie, the WikiTree community thanks you in advance for not leaving here without sharing it. :-) We are on a mission to connect the human family on one free yet reliable and privacy-controlled tree. Although we will never be finished, we make amazing progress every day because tens of thousands of good genealogists are willing to help.

1996 Oldsmobile Bravada Q&A
1996 Oldsmobile Bravada Question: spark plug replacement
what if any special tools are needed to access plugs? - elmmle
Answer 1
I own and auto repair shop in Oregon and own a Bravada as well, I love it but my daughter stole it from me. No special tools are required, but good tools will make the job much easier, the regular Snap-on spark plug socket is a little longer than your cheaper brands and this works good on the 4.3. Also, with a wobble spark plug socket and long extension, you can get to a couple of the plugs through the fenderwell, but jack it up on the frame so the suspension and wheel drops. They are a pain in the butt anyway, but no special tools are required. Good luck Joe - joesauto61

Pest control methods for your garden
By cooldude | October 21, 2013
It is obvious that if you have a garden you will have pests in it. A little cripple or weeds are common to spoil the look of your treasured garden. But you need to opt for the best pest control methods to keep your garden beautiful to look the best from the visitor's point of view. Pest management can be classified into two different ways. You already know that prevention is better than cure and this is the very first way to manage pests. The second way is the measures taken to control the pests which have made your garden their home where free food is available everywhere. The second way of pest management will be required only when you fail to prevent them.
The keyword to pest prevention is keeping your plants in the garden healthy. You can be assured that the plants in your garden are at their best condition in terms of their health only when you choose the right varieties of plants suitable for your garden. The plants should also be grouped by keeping in mind their elemental needs. A proper attention and care should be provided to the internal calendar of the plants. Only those plants should be chosen by you who can stay healthy in the type of soil your garden holds. The fertility of the soil should also be checked before planting more plants. Different types of soil have different water resistance capacity. If more amount of water retention is required by the soil, enough supply of water should be there from some artificial source. If these points are kept in mind, if you have a garden then your plants will stay healthier for a long period of time.
On the other hand, if you fail to do so you will have to go for the next method of pest control. Pests can be controlled botanically, biologically as well as physically. Insects like lady bugs, praying mantis and spiders can be controlled by opting biological method of pest controlling.

Wood shingles:
Wood shingles are 100% natural roofing material with a lot of required maintenance. Inspite of being very energy efficient and lighter in comparison to all other roofing material these are not so popular. This can be used for contemporary and historic cottages, bungalows and ranches.

Metal roofs are available in stainless steel, copper and aluminium material. Works well with contemporary cottages, ranches and bungalows.
Fibre cement:
This is a mixture consisting of wood, clay and concrete. These shape looking mixtures are fireproof and have a high lasting. These are not suitable for very cold climates as they have a tendency to crack. They are available in a spectrum of colours and variety. This type of roofing works with architectural types of housing.
It is very heavy but very durable and distinctive roofing material. Used for colonial, French and chateau house types.

Choosing wallpaper complementing your room
By cooldude | August 23, 2013
Have you planned to deck up your room with wallpapers? Well, wallpapers are definitely some fantastic additions to your walls assuring a better lasting effect than paints. However, before you settle with the wallpaper selection make sure it complements your room size and contour. Here are some tips that will help you in finding the right wallpaper.
First of all, if you are worried about your low ceiling, try to go for wallpapers with vertical stripes- the vertical patterns help to make your ceiling look higher. If your room is too narrow and you want a spacious ambience, count on wallpapers with horizontal patterns or stripes.
The rooms with smaller dimensions look good with wallpapers patterned in geometrical motifs. Make sure never to get dark wallpapers for smaller rooms as these make the room appear constricted and narrower. Do not go for intricate patterns for smaller rooms as these will create a heavy and overwhelming ambience across the room. For smaller rooms, it's best to decorate the walls with broad wallpapers trips rather than a wholesome piece covering the entire space. The wallpaper strips must be stuck keeping good space in between them for a clean and cool environ.
For larger spaces, you are free to experiment with big wide patterns and dark shades. There are some really classy dark shaded wallpaper designs in the market today. You can utilize the dark wallpaper to create a stark stylish contrast in the room placing it on one of the walls when you have the other walls in white, cream or beige shades. In regards to wallpaper patterns for large rooms, you will find gorgeous wallpapers with detailed motifs to complement your grand Victorian décor. If you have a very trendy décor, 3D wallpapers would be ideal to get the desired edgy feel to the walls.

Then these furniture pieces are able to withstand a great range of weather conditions. You won't need to invest on costly cleaning products for their maintenance- just a regular cleaning & a varnish coat is sufficient to keep them unaffected from humidity and sunlight.
Then, wicker furniture pieces are really comfortable. You can spend your long weekend leisure hours comfortably on wicker chair or futons. You will find the wicker chairs, tables and sofas in different styles and designs to pick from. It's to stress here that wicker furniture is highly affordable and stylish as well.

How to use shades of red generously in your home
By cooldude | June 7, 2013
Red is one of the most experimented colors. Nowadays people are going bold and aren't afraid to experiment with colors and red are a great color to use in order to spice up your space. If you want to use red in your home, you can start with the fabric. A tablecloth or red patterns on curtains or even cushion covers can be selected with shades of red. If you have a small room, a red snug carpet can really bring in the warmth that the room requires. If you're feeling bold, you can splash up your walls in blood or wine red for a unique but funky look. Don't forget wall decors. They too can be selected din reds. Photo frames, table lamps, a fruit basket, or a wall clock- go red wherever you want but make sure not to overdo it all.

Last September, an editorial in the "Chicago Tribune" contained the following statement. "Abraham Flexner was one of the movers and shakers of his era. The world is a different and a better one, thanks to his influence." The New York Times editorial said that "No other American of his time has contributed more to the welfare of his country and of humanity in general." Dr. Flexner made it possible for physicians to see clearly the direction of their efforts in medical education. The size of medicine's debt to him can be appreciated by going back to the year 1908, when there were three classes of medical schools: good, bad, and indifferent.
Medical Schools Before the Flexner Report
Here is a brief picture of medical education in St. Paul, Minn., around the turn of the century. Dr. A. J. Stewart wrote the following. "The students, reading in the different doctors' offices,

Amazing set up, great kit and very friendly, well run centre. Every dive we had was amazing and it is an incredible place to learn to dive or advance your qualifications. Recommend for all levels of divers!
I did this and will do it again and again and again with Octopus, very good dive experience. I had fun scuba diving, humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future.
Friendly staff...efficiently run...interesting dives...boat is all the smaller side with not a lot of leg room for us longer legged folks especially when fully suited up...Octopus Divers are a good choice and far ahead of other options when it comes to customer service.
We had more than 20 dives at Octopus in April 2015 with my two sons and we cannot praise them enough. It is very professionally run, has very good equipment, friendly staff and super dive sites. All the diving always feels extremely safe and there are also ideal sites for smaller children. My 10-year old did his Junior OWD with...
Everything went smoothly on both of our diving days with Octopus -- this is a professional operation. From pickup to briefing to equipment, boat staff, etc, all was just as expected. We were fortunate to have Vicky as our dive instructor and she pointed out all the sealife on our list to see. Will definitely aim to dive with this...
Very friendly staff, the divers feel like a big family. Good equipments and boats. You usually eat together with the other divers which is very good to make new friends. I would recommend.
Octopus staff was very professional on dealing with my dives, including a night dive.
Good service started 3 weeks before the trip, when they gave me info trough e-mail about the diving sites. It continued on an excellent management of large groups, dividing it in 4 divers per Dive Master. And ended with an easy payment process with an organized...
This was my first diving experience. It was so much fun that I went back two more times and enjoyed myself thoroughly each time.
Octopus will pick you up from your lodging and return you there after the dive. That service is included in the dive fee.
After I arrived at the dive center, Florent explained the equipment and how...
This is a great diving club. Staff speaks both english and french. Equipment is in perfect condition, dive sites are top notch and the dives are very well conducted.
After making enquiries at several other dive operations in the Seychelles, this one immediately stood out as extremely professional. They actually showed an interest and also were very helpful. Francine and her team were always very friendly, the equipment was good and the dive trips fantastic. Great welcome every time, great staff and a very well-run operation. Prices were competitive...

via YouTube This is what happens when a 15-seed makes it to the Sweet 16. ¬ÝWe haven'Äôt seen it before (because it'Äôs never happened). ¬ÝAfter upsetting the 2-seed Georgetown on Friday, FGCU beat the 7-seed San Diego State Sunday behind Bernard Thomson'Äôs 23 points, Sherwood Brown'Äôs 17 points and eight rebounds and Brett Comer'Äôs 10 points and 14 assists. ¬ÝHead coach Andy Enfield teaches a carefree style of basketball that has obviously gotten through to his kids who have not shown a lick of nervousness in the biggest games of their lives. 16 of FGCU'Äôs made field goals were lay-ups, dunks or tip-ins. ¬ÝThe Eagles used a 16-0 in the second half to blow the game open. Here'Äôs video of Enfield getting doused with water and FGCU'Äôs locker room celebration.

Welcome to insomnia island. Population: Me.
Ready. Set. Rant:
It is currently 6am and I've been up since 3am with a fever and throwing up. *yay*
I haven't really updated this in a while but on Sunday I decided to take a "medicine vacation" which is not to be confused with a "medicated vacation". We thought it would be a good idea to let my body relax from all the medicine…. But god forbid anything ever be easy or work out the first time around. I feel like I've only gotten worse since I stopped the meds. I'm not really sure why or how that is but.. Well… Yeah…
Anyway, I've had this weird fever that has been coming and going lately which is sorta concerning because my normal temp is 96.6 and its been getting up to 99.8 (which is high for me) but at the same time it's not concerning at all because I have Lyme disease and that pretty much gives me a "get out of worrying free" card since random shit is alway happening to my body and no one knows why.
Also, I ended up in the emergency room again last night because the pain in my head got so bad *ugh*. I honestly don't know how I keep ending up in the ER. They rarely ever actually help me and without fail I end up leaving feeling like a moron because I have a disease most doctors think is cured with 30 days of doxy. Blah. Blah. Blah. Like dude, if I could be cured with 30 days of doxy, I would be that happiest person on the planet but like its just not a thing.
Oh and I may or may not be teaching emergency room yoga now….
Just kidding… That's not a thing either.
