Frantisek and Anna Holik lived in Senetin, Bohemia before 1900. Senetin is located east of Prague. Frantisek lived from 1845 to 1910. Anna lived from 1860 to 1934. Frank and Anna had 11 children, many of whom came to America.
Bozena was born April 3, 1879. She died September 13, 1935 in Senetin, Bohemia.
Jan was born February 11, 1883. Jan immigrated in 1903 or 1904 according to the Declaration of Intent he filed to become a citizen and 1910 and 1920 census records. His Declaration contains a ship name, the Barbarossa, and date of immigration, but I cannot locate him on a ship log. I'm now going through page by page of every ship log the Barbarossa had in 1903 and 1904 in the hopes that his name was transcribed incorrectly and I will find him. Jan married Marie Ratay June 11, 1905 in Chicago. Jan died April 8, 1930, before he was Naturalized. Jan and Marie are my great grandparents.
Katerina was born June 7, 1887. She immigrated and arrived in New York on March 18, 1903 on the Kronprinz Wilhelm. She married Jan Koluvek May 14, 1905. Interestingly, Jan was on the same ship as Katerina. They were listed one page apart on the ship log. Jan lived in Snet, Bohemia and Katerina in Senetin. These towns were 40 km apart. I am not sure if they met on the ship or in Chicago. There is no indication prior to living in Chicago that they knew each other. My nine year old son has a theory they met on the ship. I believe they met in Chicago. It is a nice debate for us and a way for him to look at the evidence available to create a theory and try to prove, disprove, or rule it a possibility. We will never know exactly where and how Katerina and Jan met but it is a nice debate. Katerina died in Florida on December 15, 1980. Her husband Jan died in Florida in 1950.
Frantiska was born March 8, 1885. No other information is known on her.
Anna was born November 6, 1889 and died a few years later in 1896.
Frank was born November 25, 1890. He immigrated to the U.S. on March 16, 1910 on the Rijndam. Frank married Agnes Vadlejch on March 13, 1911 in Chicago. Frank died before 1963.
Marie was born January 31, 1894. She immigrated in 1909 on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. According to the 1910 Census, Marie was working at the Chicago Municipal Isolation Hospital (for smallpox) at 3400 S. Lawndale. This hospital was run by German nuns, the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. Marie was only 17 or 18 years old when she worked as a nurse there. I think she might have married in 1911 but need to research this more. She was not working there in1920.
Josef was born April 2, 1896 and immigrated on November 3, 1921 on the Orbita. Josef married Anna, maiden name unknown on May 12, 1923, in Berwyn, Illinois. Josef died September 1979 in Elmhurst, Illinois.
Alois Josef was born March 10, 1899 and died soon after.
Gabriela was born January 29, 1900. No other information is known on her.
Anna was born September 13, 1902. She immigrated the year before Josef and arrived in the U.S. on August 30, 1920 on the Noordam. At this time I have no information about her after she arrived in Chicago.

With the Unova League behind him, Ash decides to stay in Unova for a while longer. While there, He, Iris and Cilan meet a new trainer who has a vapid imagination, thinks too much, and is just starting. After much thought she chooses Tepig and tries to battle with Ash but Team Rocket interferes. Will they get Tepig back?
- This is the first time since Team Rocket has the returning running gag to be blasted off since the final episode of the Diamond and Pearl series.
- Team Rocket starts using their original motto from seasons 1-7 in this episode. Although the music motto from the Diamond & Pearl series can still be heard when they say it.
- This time their phrases say "Prepare for Trouble", "and Make it Double" respectively.
- James incorrectly says "To Unite the People Within our Nation" instead of saying "To Unite All People Within our Nation".
- Now all of the Tepig evolution family's been owned by their respective trainers (except for Shamus): Nanette currently owns Tepig as her first starter, Ash had a Pignite, and Bianca now has an Emboar.
- This also marks the fourth three episodes when all Pokemon evolution family belong to trainers.
- Who's that Pokémon?: Amoonguss.

The next best thing to new shoes.
So your Sidis are five years old and the only problem is a worn-out buckle? Consider yourself lucky…or get out and ride more. For now, replace the worn bit with a Sidi Caliper Buckle and you'll be rockin' your favorite Sidis another five years—and saving yourself from buying new shoes. It's a win-win situation.
- Made of plastic
- Compatible with Sidi caliper buckle attachment mounts

Pure junk
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
Have three excellent set of Sidi road shoes. Crashed and broke a buckle. Not only are these replacement junk plastic, they are designed only for the newer buckles that have a narrower slot. So the tab will not fit. Just used epoxy to glue the buckle back together, hope it holds. A shame to toss a $300 pair of shoes since Sidi does not provide proper replacement parts. But great shoes.
Post-crash Repair
It works
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Broke a buckle on my white Genius 6.6 in a crash. Perfect replacement with provided screw and loctite.

My buckle screw mysteriously disappeared....
My buckle screw mysteriously disappeared. Anyone know the specs on a replacement? My luck in matching screws at the hardware store has been spotty in the past.
replacing SIDI buckles
I obtained repacement buckles for my nine year old Sidi Megas (one buckle was damaged in an accident).
The buckles are more compact now, and I discovered that the original caliper strap was now too wide to fit into the new buckle.
I checked the SIDI website and they advise to replace the strap (part SID0021) whenever you change the buckles (The straps are made to be compatible with older model shoes).
Therefore, if you are going to buy new buckles, make sure to get new straps.
BTW it worked fine for me.
Steve M
do these replacement buckles fit old Sidi...
do these replacement buckles fit old Sidi Genius shoes? The buckles on my shoes have red releases and look wider.
Yes, it'll work, the buckles have gotten smaller over the years, you just need to order new caliper straps with the buckles. From the Sidi America site:
All side mounted buckles share the same attachment screw. The ratchet straps specific to each buckle fit interchangeably into the slot in the outside of the soft instep closure system. So there is no problem retrofitting an older SIDI shoe with the new SIDI Caliper buckle, just make sure to replace the ratchet strap at the same time.

You've nurtured them, taught them, fed them, and taken care of them their entire life. It's an exciting yet frightening time in their lives and you want to be sure your child is well taken care of. Our goal is to help your child understand and make the right dining choices by offering them a variety of options and dining styles from which to choose. While we may never completely replace Mom's cooking, we will offer a selection of both comforting foods as well as authentic cuisine styles to entice and expand your child's palette.
We view the dining program not only from a nutritional stand point but also as an important social aspect of your student's growth. By offering many options, it encourages your student to explore new cuisines, meet new people, and make new friends. Dining on campus allows them to take part in the socialization that happens during meals, allowing them opportunities to interact outside of the classroom.
Whether your son or daughter is an incoming freshman or a returning student, we have plenty of convenient dining options for students to enjoy! Our program has been designed to enable students to get together, eat a delicious and nutritious meal and have lots of fun! Also there are plenty of special events and innovative promotions planned. Whether students are on the go, an early riser or a health conscious diner, we are sure our program will meet your student's needs.
Make sure your student is well fed while away at college.
Show your college student that you're still thinking of her/him by sending them a "Sweet Treat Gift Basket" that is easy for you to order from the Dining Services Department.

The Year-Long 60mm Telescope Challenge

I have both 1000mm and 700mm 60mm scopes.
Posted 06 April 2013 - 06:29 PM
Posted 06 April 2013 - 09:45 PM
I should probably let the 60mm scope club crew know that the gauntlet has been thrown.
- Jim
Posted 06 April 2013 - 10:04 PM
Neat stuff!
Posted 06 April 2013 - 11:28 PM
I also have a 60mm f/16 Penncrest (JC Penny) refractor, pretty much complete in original wooden case, with all the accessories and a nice GEM mount with manual slow-motions, but I want to see the program through with the 50mm f/20. It has a 1.25" focuser, so I can use some halfway decent eyepieces.
I had thought that I'd give it a go with my old Kellners, orthos, Erfles, and yes, even a couple of old Edmund Ramsdens I still have. The stuff I used back in the late sixties and early seventies.
I also have a 42mm f/18 achromat that will probably find it's way into an OTA if I have fun with the 50mm.
It's nice to know that others have had the same idea, and it will be interesting to see just what the little scope can reveal.
Talk about a time warp!

And where's NGC 7789, the wonderful OC in Cassiopeia? Lots of examples like these.
I need to dig up my observing logs and crossreference the list. I think there's a truckload of stuff I've seen quite easily that's not on the list.
Clear skies!

Hey Andy! I've actually observed with Carol Widger at the OFLI Farm site. She and her hubby are very nice. Carol fielded a nifty little 50mm scope that night and I was using a Carton 60/1000. I hope you'll download the pdf list embedded in the article and give some of the targets a try. (Apologies in advance - the list is about 65 pages .)
I should probably let the 60mm scope club crew know that the gauntlet has been thrown.
- Jim
Jim; I've never met Carol in person or her husband. But she's a good friend. The widger scope listed in my sig line was a scope brand scope, that was in very bad shape when she mailed in cross country. It has a Towa lens and after an extensive upgrade list, I named it the Widger scope.
Yep let the 60mm group know about this.
The group owner Pete will like it.
Thomas who replied below is one thee 60mm groups better observers.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 07:23 AM
Fun stuff.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 08:57 AM
That first scope of many moons ago was a 60mm but one of those sliding draw tube - variable power - erect image alt-azimuth scopes. I don't remember the brand but it was 20x - 60x if I recall correctly, not a yoke mount but a clamshell that pivoted in elevation below the tube.
No finder, too short wobbly mount, the whole works. My parents found it advertised in the newspaper (used) nearby and they were asking $12. I believe they accepted $10. I was in heaven!
Eventually i just had to adapt the zoom (egad!) eyepiece from my microscope to it and fashion longer legs for the tripod. Must have been about 12 years old. I remember viewing the moon but especially Saturn. I'm sure I looked at lots of things but the memory is not clear.
But that was the seed that led to countless nights under the stars, many friends, infecting others to join this amazing hobby, building some interesting scopes, and even doing serious astrophotography with observatory class scopes. Quite the journey!
But in the last year I've been working on turning back the clock to revisit those nights looking at the sky with that little 60mm - and was also thinking about doing the Messier objects with one. After all, Messier observed from Paris, albeit before the invention of electric light but I suspect the sky was anything but clear from cooking and heating fires. Can I see what he saw?
And then, along comes this challenge!
While I plan to keep my eye out for a scope like my first, the little grab&go I now have will do - all I need is an aperture mask and I'm set. Of course the optical quality is likely quite a bit better that the scope of 45 years ago - but alas, I'll just have to put up with it I guess.
Thanks for putting together the challenge. This will be fun, even just dabbling in the list.
Thanks Jim!
Posted 07 April 2013 - 09:22 AM
I wouldn't get too wrapped around the axle on the assigned difficulty ratings, nor worry too much about missing objects or objects on the list that are too tough for small aperture. It's a big menu, but like any restaurant's menu, there are going to be dishes you like that are not offered and things you can't stand that are.
Do let us know how many of the 889 listed targets you've already seen with a 60. It will give the rest of us encouragement.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 09:44 AM
It's interesting that a number of us who fit the demographic mentioned in the article have all had similar nostalgic regressions to smaller aperture scopes from out early days.
It did seem like it was time. And your attitude is perfect. Use what you have and sample from the list. It's an exercise in aesthetic enjoyment as much as a "challenge". In fact, the challenge may be more about challenging oneself to bypass larger aperture and dedicate some observing time to a small scope.
One other item. There's a William Herschel quotation somewhere that I have misplaced, but it paraphrases like this: "Once you find an object in a bigger telescope, it is easier to then find that same object in a smaller telescope." For targets that put up a fight at 60mm, by all means find them with more aperture, but then give 60mm another try on the target with your fresh larger aperture bearings in mind.
It's drizzling here now, but if we get sun later today I will take some pictures of my intended 60mm playmates for this effort.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 10:35 AM
EDIT: After pondering this, I've decided to pick from the list, a number of objects that I feel will be a challenge from my mag 6+ skies and report on those. Perhaps, I'll dub it the Barnett 100!
Posted 07 April 2013 - 11:56 AM
Yes, the list assumes an experienced middle-aged, suburban observer with Mag 4.5 skies, moderately clean optics and a 38N location. The actual rating formula, though, is the one built into the SkyTools3 application, so I included it without much independent scrutiny.
Okay, that explains a lot of things, such as the inclusion of Markarian 381 in Bootes...
I wouldn't get too wrapped around the axle on the assigned difficulty ratings, nor worry too much about missing objects or objects on the list that are too tough for small aperture. It's a big menu, but like any restaurant's menu, there are going to be dishes you like that are not offered and things you can't stand that are.
I do think it's quite a big deal not to include big, famous objects that are easily visible, while including several that are extremely faint and difficult.
Do let us know how many of the 889 listed targets you've already seen with a 60. It will give the rest of us encouragement.
Haven't counted them yet, but I see *lots* of familiar names, so I guess the number is going to be a couple of hundred or so, perhaps more. There are several constellations I have barely worked at, such as Monoceros.
Clear skies!
Thomas, Denmark
Posted 07 April 2013 - 01:06 PM
I am not an expert observer and my eyes are worse than average from decades of outdoor work, but I find the SkyTools difficulty ratings always pessimistic. It is one of the poorer aspects of the program. When sorting by difficulty I always list a darker sky than actual, and still find the ratings overly pessimistic.
The actual rating formula, though, is the one built into the SkyTools3 application, so I included it without much independent scrutiny.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 01:14 PM
Posted 07 April 2013 - 01:26 PM
But it is what it is. More important than the "absolute" rating, however, is whether the "relativity" of the ratings is accurate. In other words, you have two targets, one ranked "difficult" and the other "very challenging" (which is two notches harder on the ST3 ratings scale). Even is one is really "obvious" and the other "difficult" (i.e., two notches harder), the rating system has some value. Maybe it's just not very well calibrated.
Also, the rating system around double stars is a little wonky in its own right. When using the database power search feature and there are actually two different "difficulty"-like filtering systems - one for visibility and the other for splitability. I sometimes forget to modify one or the other and then get funny results in the generated list columns.
Still, it's a handy tool for sorting and such. Oh, I also normalized the list for a spring night in 2013 (on the theory that spring is Messier Marathon season and offers as good a range of dates as any for generating a year-round list. That might have been an erroneous assumption, but it is what it is. In any case, plenty to chase.

That's where we differ. Anything that inspires folks to try out too-often underestimated small aperture on any group of targets is worthwhile. The list could have had 50 targets or 10,000 targets, and from the perspective kindling interest in the format would have been just as useful.
Besides, Herschel's list includes many erroneous listings (i.e., no object at the position given) and also omits objects that were within the capability of his equipment. So too Messier did not catalog every object that it would have been possible for him to observe. The challenge list is in that sense in good company.

Anything that inspires folks to try out too-often underestimated small aperture on any group of targets is worthwhile.
True, but why then confuse them with near-impossible targets? Or even nonexisting ones?
I think the list is a great idea, make no mistake, but it desperately needs revision in my opinion, to weed out nonexisting objects and very faint ones that are out of range of a 60mm, unless you stick a CCD on it.
I've made such a list some years ago, actually. It's in the 60mm Club archives somewhere. I actually made two lists. One with only easy objects and one also with faint objects, also threshold ones, with galaxies to mag 11.5 and planetary nebulae to mag 13. It has over 1100 objects. I have not seen every object on them, of course, but I weeded the list as well as I could, using DSS to check dubious cases, such as anonymous PGC galaxies or the MCG "galaxies" in Orion (they're actually small diffuse and reflection nebulae).
Since some time back, I've been working on a ~100 object list with non-messier deep-sky objects for a 60mm that I've actually observed. Mostly bright objects that are easy to see, but with a few challenges for a dark sky thrown in here and there. Sort of a "Hidden Treasure" list for 60mm scopes.
Clear skies!

I'm surprised that the Astro League doesn't have a 60mm observing program, long overdue.
Now that you mention it. They really should have. Perhaps they think the Messier list suffices?
Clear skies!

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Gluten-Free Diet for Celiac Disease
Topic Overview
People who have celiac disease must be on a gluten-free diet. Even a small amount of gluten may cause symptoms of bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
The basics of a gluten-free diet include:
- Avoiding all foods that contain wheat, rye, triticale, and barley gluten. Bread, bagels, pasta, pizza, malted breakfast cereals, and crackers are all examples of foods that contain gluten. Although some foods are labeled wheat-free, this doesn't mean that they are gluten-free.
- Avoiding oats, at least initially. Oats may cause symptoms in some people, perhaps as a result of contamination with wheat, barley, or rye during processing. But many people who have celiac disease can eat moderate amounts of oats without having symptoms. Health professionals vary in their long-term recommendations regarding eating foods with oats. But most agree it is best that people newly diagnosed with celiac disease not eat oats until the condition is well controlled with a gluten-free diet. Then, up to 2 oz (50 g) of oats may be eaten daily as long as no new symptoms arise.1 You should eat only oats known not to be contaminated by wheat, barley, or rye during processing.
- Avoiding or limiting milk products in the beginning of treatment if they cause or aggravate symptoms. After symptoms improve and the small intestine heals (about 1 to 6 months), you may be able to gradually reintroduce milk products into your diet.
- Avoiding all beer products unless they are gluten-free. Beers with and without alcohol, including lagers, ales, and stouts, contain gluten unless the label specifically says they are gluten-free.
- Reading ingredient labels carefully and being aware of types of hidden gluten. Gluten can be in things like medicines, vitamins and other nutritional supplements, lipstick and lip balm, and various food additives. Products whose labels have the phrase "modified food starch" or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" may contain gluten.
On a gluten-free diet, you can still have:
- Eggs and dairy products such as cheese. But you may need to avoid milk and milk products at the beginning of treatment. And some processed cheeses contain gluten.
- Flours and foods made with amaranth, arrowroot, buckwheat, corn, flax, millet, potatoes, quinoa, rice, sorghum, soybeans, tapioca, or teff.
- Fresh, frozen, and canned meats. Read labels for additives that may contain gluten.
- Fresh, frozen, dried, or canned fruits and vegetables if they do not contain thickening agents or other additives containing gluten.
- Certain alcoholic beverages, including wine, liquor (including whiskey and brandy), liqueurs, and ciders.

- "Don't be silly, Dawlish. I'm sure you are an excellent Auror — I seem to remember that you achieved 'Outstanding' in all your NEWTs — but if you attempt to — er — bring me in by force, I will have to hurt you."
- —Albus Dumbledore after Minister Cornelius Fudge ordered him to seize Dumbledore.[src]
John[3] Dawlish was a wizard who worked for the Auror Office in the 1990s. Highly regarded as an "excellent Auror", he was at one point the personal bodyguard to Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, having also worked under Ministers Rufus Scrimgeour and Pius Thicknesse. During the course of the Second Wizarding War, however, Dawlish's powers were diminished somewhat as he was incapacitated and attacked quite frequently.[3]
Early life
- " […] I seem to remember that you achieved 'Outstanding' in all your NEWTs […]'"
- —Albus Dumbledore to Dawlish.[src]
John was born somewhere in the British Isles, into the wizarding Dawlish family. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he would finish his education earning at least five N.E.W.T.s,[4] all of them with 'Outstanding' marks.[5]
Sometime after his seventeenth birthday, Dawlish joined the Ministry of Magic, and completed a stringent series of character and aptitude tests in the three years that followed to join the Auror Office.[6]
Career as an Auror
Under Minister Cornelius Fudge
- "Enough of this rubbish! Dawlish! Shacklebolt! Take him!"
- —Cornelius Fudge orders Aurors Kingsley Shacklebolt and John Dawlish to seize Albus Dumbledore in 1996.[src]
On 20 April, 1996, after Marietta Edgecombe denounced the illegal Dumbledore's Army to Dolores Umbridge, Minister Cornelius Fudge travelled to Hogwarts Castle in an attempt to expel Harry Potter, who was leading the outlawed student group. Kingsley Shacklebolt and John Dawlish escorted the Minister there, and were positioned on either side of the door to the Headmaster's office.[5]
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore took the blame instead, with a false confession. After Fudge accused him of treason and sedition against himself and the Ministry of Magic, Fudge made a small choking noise, and then looked round at Kingsley and Dawlish. Dawlish nodded reassuringly and moved forwards, his hand drifting towards the wand in his pocket. Dumbledore said he had to hurt him if Dawlish attacked him, and the Auror blinked rather foolishly, without a clue as to what to do next. Fudge ordered the Aurors to seize Dumbledore, but the Headmaster easily defeated the Ministry officials, leaving Fudge, Umbridge, Kingsley and Dawlish unconscious on the floor as he escaped. Dawlish was the first to come to, stirring on the floor. When the wizards noted Dumbledore's absence, Dawlish fruitlessly tried to intercept him wrenching the door to the office open and disappearing down the stairs, followed closely by Kingsley and Umbridge.[5]
In the early minutes of 17 June, just after midnight, Dawlish was among the number of Ministry officials who, led by Umbridge, attacked Rubeus Hagrid in order to arrest him and sack him from his positions of Gamekeeper and Professor. While trying to Stun him, Dawlish pleaded Hagrid to "be reasonable". It is unclear whether Dawlish was one of the Aurors physically knocked-out by Hagrid, or the one who, like Umbridge, was left unharmed, but tripped over one of his unconscious colleagues and fell over.[7]
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Dawlish was one of the Aurors who arrived with Cornelius Fudge into the Ministry Atrium. Fudge sent Dawlish and Williamson down to the Department of Mysteries to see if there were, as Albus Dumbledore told him, escaped Death Eaters in the Death Chamber, bound by an Anti-Disapparation Jinx.[8]
Under Minister Rufus Scrimgeour
- Harry Potter: "Scrimgeour wanted to know where you go when you're not at Hogwarts."
- Albus Dumbledore: "Yes, he is very nosy about that. He has even attempted to have me followed. Amusing, really. He set Dawlish to tail me. It wasn't kind. I have already been forced to jinx Dawlish once; I did it again with the greatest regret."
- — Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore in early 1997.[src]
When Rufus Scrimgeour succeeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic, due to his failure to announce the return of Lord Voldemort, a bunch of Aurors were stationed at Hogsmeade to provide Hogwarts Castle extra protection. Dawlish was among these Aurors, as were Nymphadora Tonks, Proudfoot and Savage.[9]
- Severus Snape: "It will happen Saturday next, at nightful."
- Yaxley: "I have heard differently, my Lord, Dawlish, the Auror, has let slip that the Potter boy will not be moved until the thirtieth of this month, the evening before he turns seventeen."
- Severus Snape: "This is a false trail! The Auror Office no longer plays any part in the protection of Harry Potter. Those closest to him believe we have infiltrated the Ministry."
- — Meeting at Malfoy Manor[src]
Intrigued by Albus Dumbledore's activities outside his school, Minister Scrimgeour assigned Dawlish to follow Dumbledore, but the Headmaster was forced to jinx him once more.[10]
In the summer of 1997, Dawlish was put into the Confundus Charm by someone in the Order of the Phoenix, in order to provide the Death Eaters with a false trail as to when Harry Potter would depart from 4 Privet Drive. Sure enough, Yaxley extracted information from him, and he told him that he would be moved on 30 July, escorted by an entire party of Aurors. Severus Snape, however, knew this was a false trail (even noting that Dawlish was especially susceptible to the Confundus Charm) and told Voldemort the Order of the Phoenix would move Harry on 27 July.[11]
Under Minister Pius Thicknesse
- Neville Longbottom: "But we were still fighting, doing underground stuff, right up until a couple of weeks ago. That's when they decided there was only one way to stop me, I suppose, and they went for Gran."
- Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger: "They what?"
- Neville Longbottom: "Yeah. Well, you can see their thinking. It had worked really well, kidnapping kids to force their relatives to behave. I s'pose it was only a matter of time before they did it the other way around. Thing was, they bit off a bit more than they could chew with Gran. Little old witch living alone, they probably thought hey didn't need to send anyone particularly powerful. Anyway, Dawlish is still in St. Mungo's and Gran's on the run."
- — Neville Longbottom to Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger on 1 May, 1998.[src]
On 1 August, 1997 the Ministry of Magic was taken over by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters[12] as Minister Rufus Scrimgeour was killed and replaced by Pius Thicknesse, who was under the Imperius Curse.[13]
Dawlish continued to serve as Auror under the new regime, helping in the imprisonment of Muggle-borns and assisting the Death Eater-controlled Ministry. He was charged with transporting Muggle-born wizards tried by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission to Azkaban.[14]
Still under the effects of the Confundus Charm, Dawlish was Stunned by Dirk Cresswell halfway on their flight to Azkaban. Cresswell was not sure if he was left alright, but took Dawlish's broomstick and went on the run.[14]
When Neville Longbottom stepped over the line in rebelling against Alecto and Amycus Carrow at Hogwarts, Dawlish was sent to take Augusta Longbottom as a hostage to get Neville to cooperate with the new regime. However, the Ministry had heavily underestimated Augusta, and she caused him sufficient injury to merit admittance into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[15]
Later life
What happened to Dawlish after that is unknown; it is possible that Kingsley Shacklebolt, as the new Minister for Magic, had him arrested for complying with the Death Eaters' rule and for crimes against Muggle-borns, a crime that Umbridge was found guilty and was arrested for.
Personality and traits
John Dawlish was a highly intelligent and magically talented wizard who apparently was slavishly devoted to his job and seemed to take his work as an Auror very seriously. Although he had an easy exploitable weakness, (mainly the Confundus Charm), he generally seemed to be a strong-willed man, as he completed an extremely stringent series of character and aptitude tests in order to join the Auror Office.
He also seemed to be a man of principle, though a combination of a somewhat twisted moral compass and loyalty to the Ministry of Magic cloudes his judgement at times. During the Second Wizarding War, he did indeed work with capturing Muggle-Borns without protest, although this may be more due to him believing Muggle-Borns to be a dangerous threat to the Wizarding Community rather than siding with the Death Eaters willingly. Apparently, he was under the impression that the Ministry and its administration was the very defenition of wizarding law, and thus they were completely infallible, leading him to take orders without questioning them.
He also did not know fear, or at least did not show it when facing what he believed to be a genuine threat to his superiors. Indeed, although he was backed up by three other Ministry Officials when they attempted to arrest Albus Dumbledore, he was the first to step forward and fearlessly making himself ready to challenge the renowned wizard, while the mere precence of Dumbledore was enough to make several Death Eaters flee during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. This, as well as the fact that Fudge did not attempt to stop him from almost challenging Dumbledore single-handedly, (before Dumbledore's comment made him react with surprise and confused and he stopped with his hand half-way to his wand all by himself), which speaks for exactly how much confidence both he and his fellow Ministry Officials have in his abilities. Although he seems to be an essentially good person, seen that he voluntarily went into a profession where he is working to fight the Dark Arts, and protect the rest of the Wizadkind against the said danger, but is blinded by his loyalty to the Ministry, making him a great soldier, but not a hero, or even siding with the heroes, unless he works for them and they tell him to.
Physical appearance
Dawlish was described as looking very capable and self-assured, a "tough-looking wizard" with "very short, wiry" grey hair. Despite his somewhat formidable appearance, any appearance or mention of him usually involves him being hexed, usually due to a combination of far superior opponents and sheer bad luck.
Magical abilities and skills
- Magical Mastery: John Dawlish is a very powerful and clever wizard who had obvious talent and expertise in a number of different branches of magic, considering that, as an Auror, he had a high level of skill and knowledge in at least seven fields of magic, and may also have taken even more than those five subjects to his N.E.W.T-exams when graduating from Hogwarts.
- Intelligence: It is reasonably to assume that Dawlish is highly intelligent and knowledgeable in the theory of many magical disciplines, since the final exams at Hogwarts has a theoretical part and he got top grades in all subjects he took, something even Hermione Granger was unable to do. (Although the number of N.E.W.T-exams he took is not known).
- Auror Skills: As John Dawlish was handpicked by then Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, who - due to his paranoia towards Dumbledore at the time undoubtedly took his personal security very seriously - it is quite possible that he was quite a high-ranking Auror with a highly reputable calibre based on his his service record at the British Ministry of Magic. Also, as an fully educated Auror, he was proficient in at least the fields of Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, and Charms.
- Martial magic: Albus Dumbledore complimented Dawlish on his abilities as an Auror, saying that the man got "Outstanding" in all of his N.E.W.T exams, and so it was probable that Dawlish possessed skill when it came to duelling and spellwork. However, it was seen that he was able to be effortlessly defeated by wizards more powerful than himself, as demonstrated during the Ministry's attempt to arrest Dumbledore. Despite having Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Umbridge, and Kingsley Shacklebolt to back him up (though Shacklebolt was actually an ally of Dumbledore's and it is unknown if he would have been much help), Dawlish was still defeated by Dumbledore's magic. He was also (apparently) knocked out by Rubeus Hagrid and, later, Augusta Longbottom, which caused enough damage to have him sent to St. Mungo's Hospital. He was also defeated by Dirk Cresswell, who attributes his escape to another wizard or witch Confunding Dawlish beforehand.
The name "John" is the English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "Yahweh is gracious".
"Dawlish" is the name of a seaside town in Devon. It's name comes from a nearby stream, once called "Deawlisc", meaning "devil water".
Behind the scenes
- Dawlish is portrayed in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by British actor Richard Leaf.
- Dawlish's frequent injuries and incapacitations are somewhat of a running joke in the last three instalments of the series. His role is largely omitted in the Harry Potter films, and his appearances are diminished to two background appearances with no lines in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and a brief mention in the first part of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. J. K. Rowling stated that "there's no dishonour to Dawlish", as anyone would have been in trouble going up against Dumbledore and that he was "punch drunk" by the time that he faced Augusta Longbottom, who was nevertheless a powerful witch.[3]
- He was named after John Noe, co-host of PotterCast after a friend of John's asked J. K. Rowling what Dawlish's first name was, and displayed an obsession with the character throughout the podcast.[3]
- He was occasionally the subject of a joke saying that he would have some real significance in the last book. An example of this joke can be seen at the poll on The Leaky Cauldron.
- In an early draft script for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore refers to Dawlish as "Hawkes". In the final film, he is referred to by his proper name, Dawlish.

Notes and references
- ↑ Albus Dumbledore says in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Chapter 27 (The Centaur and the Sneak) that he "[seemed] to remember that [Dawlish] achieved 'Outstanding' in all [his] NEWTs". This means that Dawlish sat his NEWTs no earlier than the 1981-1982 school year (as Albus Dumbledore was born in the summer of 1881).

Your eye has two parts that focus images:
In a perfectly shaped eye, each of these focusing elements has a perfectly smooth curvature, like the surface of a marble. A cornea and lens with such curvature bend (refract) all incoming light to make a sharply focused image directly on the retina, at the back of your eye.
If your cornea or lens isn't evenly and smoothly curved, light rays aren't bent (refracted) properly, and you have a refractive error. Farsightedness is one type of refractive error.
Farsightedness occurs when your cornea is curved too little or your eye is shorter than normal. Instead of being focused precisely on your retina, light is focused behind your retina, resulting in a blurry appearance for close-up objects.
In addition to farsightedness, other refractive errors include:

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale—populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that's how the locals prefer it…
Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town.
There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth…
Watch a video
Praise for Charlaine Harris and her #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels:
"Harris treasures the everyday routines of small-town family life, burnishing little moments until they glow."—Los Angeles Times
"Inventive and funny with an engaging, smart, and sexy heroine."—The Denver Post
"[Harris's] mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances."—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader
Charlaine Harris needs no introduction to readers. Her Sookie Stackhouse novels—the basis for the HBO hit show True Blood—is a publishing phenomenon. I've been Charlaine's editor almost from the beginning of her publishing relationship with Berkley. I (along with gazillions of others) love Sookie.
It was bittersweet to work on the last book in the series, Dead Ever After in 2013. The question then was—what's next for Charlaine? Well, my respect for her as an author only grew when I read the "what's next", Midnight Crossroad, the first of a trilogy set in the small—and odd—Texas town of Midnight.
In writing Midnight Crossroad, Charlaine has chosen to challenge herself as a writer, when she could have taken the easy path and done something like a direct Sookie spin-off. Though the book maintains the major element that has run through all of her work (the strong sense of place), it represents a departure for her in two ways—the story is told third person and from multiple (three to be exact) viewpoints.
Will all of Sookie's many fans like it? It's hard to know. While not a spin-off, it is set in Sookie's world—there are vampires and shifters and witches (and in subsequent volumes, actual characters from the Sookie series). But, while there are romantic entanglements, the mystery is front-and-center. In that way, it is much more like the Harper Connelly novels—including the fact that Manfred Bernardo, a secondary character from the Harper books, is a principle protagonist in Midnight Crossroad. (Charlaine has included characters from the Lily Bard and Aurora Teagarden mysteries, too!)
So—we are all very excited about the publication of Midnight Crossroad. It's on sale now. As the editor , I highly recommend it!
All the best,
Ginjer Buchanan

More Information
The Helena Rubinstein Laboratories were inspired by the volume-compensating and filling effectiveness of a Laclinic-Montreux injection of hyaluronic acid to create Re-PLASTY PRO FILLER, the first intense wrinkle corrector and elasticity restorer that targets all areas of the face for a global anti-ageing result.
At the heart of the formula
This exclusive solution was designed to stimulate the long-term production of hyaluronic acid, fill in volume lost with age and combat wrinkles.
The "Filler-Solution is combined with LR 2412, the latest-generation anti-ageing molecule which promotes the intra-cellular production of hyaluronic acid and accelerates acid metabolism.
Application Tips
Spread the serum with fingertips over areas that need to be stimulated, then smooth out lines or hollow areas along horizontal or vertical directions depending on lines position.
Pinch the skin between the thumb's dab and other finger's dabs.
Slide fingers in opposite direction to stretch the skin surface.
Expert tips
In the evening, use Re-PLASTY AGE RECOVERY to intensely repair all the signs of aging.
At the tip of the streamlined pipette, an extra-precise applicator delivers a drop of this precious concentrate. Non-oily, non-sticky protective film.

With hardly a month left for the Igunga by-election in Tabora Region to take place, ears of all those with keen interest in national affairs are being tuned to this part of the country.
In the old not so good days when one political party used to dominate the country's politics and elections were, in a way, a formality, by-elections did not produce much excitement and political heat. This is now history. The scenario has changed, and political parties battling it out in Igunga have a rough and tough time.
The ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), is definitely hell bent to recapture the seat left vacant by the controversial Rostam Aziz of the "gutter" politics fame. For CCM, it is a do-or-die affair as the party would like to dispel the notion that its internal power hunger wars have made it too vulnerable to perform well in present and future elections.
The Civic United Front (CUF), on the other hand, claims to be very popular in Tabora region, and wants to prove the assertion by winning the Igunga seat. You have the Chama Cha Demokrasia na Mendeleo (CHADEMA), seriously entertaining the belief that it is the ruling party-in-waiting, with the capability of flooring its rivals fairly and squarely.
Then you have the escorting small parties which, as expected in politics, are promising to deliver surprises reminiscent of the biblical David versus Goliath encounter! It is political wishful thinking galore in Igunga.
With this kind of political competition reigning, which some political observers consider as good in a society still going through the birth pangs of democracy, the next three campaign weeks are not only likely to provide some entertainment tempered with a certain measure of tension, but may also help to provide a few lessons about the nature and future trend of the country's electoral practices, exactly one year after the controversial October, 2010 general elections.
In other words political analysts, and even laymen, will have a unique opportunity to use Igunga as a testing laboratory to get a few ideas on whether we are improving or continue to blunder insofar as managing elections and conducting ourselves during this vital exercise is concerned. The fact that focus will be on one constituency will make the evaluation much easier, compared to the daunting task of assessing the electoral process when elections are taking place countrywide.
Institutions likely to be subjected to microscopic investigation in Igunga include the National Electoral Commission, political parties playing ball in the constituency, security organs, our anti-corruption watchdog, local government institutions and the media. To be observed also is the electorate.
The National Electoral Commission was accused of a number of sins of omission or commission during the 2010 general elections, including delays in delivering stationery and other facilities to polling centres, poor tallying of results, delay in announcing the results, being infiltrated by national security operatives etc. Will these accusations resurface in Igunga?
Security forces were accused of being partisan in handling alleged misbehaviour of party followers. They were said to be tough on unruly opposition fanatics but lenient on the ruling party unruly zealots. Will the allegation recur in Igunga?
Some politicians are accused of having bribed voters in 2010, using all sorts of tricks and various forms of bribery, while some potential voters are blamed to have literally sold their voting right. Will money change hands in Igunga?
Then you have some media outlets and individual journalists, believed to have thrown professional ethics out of the window and succumbed to cheque-book journalism. Will they resist the temptation in Igunga?
Some observers say our anti-corruption watchdog, that is TAKUKURU, did not flex its muscle as required in October 2010, meaning the business of vote buying and selling flourished in various parts of the country at the climax of the exercise. Will it do better in Igunga?
Surely, there is more than meets the eye in Igunga by-election.
