Hi everyone,
I'm freelance graphic designer. I know web design programs such as HTML, dreamweaver, flash, actionscript, jquery, CSS. I can design and build a website, but I have hard time "breaking" into the web design/interactive design job position/title. I need your advise. Should I go to back to school to get MA in interactive/interaction design or UX design? or certificate course will do. BTW, I also do pro-bono web design work for non-profit, but the process has been really slow.

Long before there were any white people in North America, our people communicated with the Creator at every sunrise and at every sunset. Our way of communication was one of thanksgiving -- a thanksgiving for all the gifts that were bestowed on us by the creator. With the finest words that could be spoken, our ancesters acknowledged all the life forces on Mother Earth and everything else between them and the dwelling place of the Great Spirit, our creator. Our elders would tell us, "We have directed our voices towards our Creator in the best way we are able to do. Let us be satisfied that we have acknowledged the creations around and above us. We believe that the Creator wishes us to regard the life cycle with the greatest respect and appreciation. Our thanks are to be expressed with each new day."
The Game of lacrosse was given to our people by the Creator to play for his amusement. Just as a parent will gain much amusement at the sight of watching his child playing joyfully with a new gift, so it was intended that the Creator be similarly amused by viewing his "children" playing lacrosse in a manner which was so defiant of fatigue. This is our belief, and when the four Great Messengers cam, the Creator reiterated to us that his game should be played.
There is a long history of speculation about where the game of lacrosse originated, but as Natives of North America, this question has little significance. We do not wonder who invented lacrosse, or when and where; our ancestors have been playing the game for centuries - for the Creator.
Tewaarathon was not just played to call the Creato's attention to the efforst of the medicine people or simply for one's personal enjoyment and physical fitness. Tewaareathon, because it came from the Creator himself, was also played to bestow honor and respect ot these members living on Mother Earth who had done great things for the Nation. Related to this, Tewaarathon also constituted a means of offering thanksgiving to tyhe Creator for having allowed an elder or medicine person to remain with the Nation so that person could continue to share the richness of his full life with the younger members.
It is true that Tewaarathon (or lacrosse) does demand physical fitness, and participants would train for many months to prepare themselves for these important games, but what is more significant is that our people believed that all things on Mother Earth were a gift of the Creator and following the Creator's instructions. Because lacrosse was such a gift, the difficult training for Tewaarathon was not seen as a burden of work, but rather this training was enjoyed as a preparation to partaking in a precious gift. A participant in Tewaarathon believed that his ability to play was a gift itself and that the enjoyment of playing rested in freely giving his best effort. Because only the participant really knew when his effort had been well prepared and complete, the training for Tewaarathon was related to enjoying one's gift in the view of the very one who had been so generous. It is unfortunate that the fervour which our people took to the field of play was often misinterpreted by the European eye which was untrained to the relationship between the Indian, Tewaarathon, and the Creator. As for the players, in a game of such great importance, there were no bad feelings for any accidental gestures because both teams realized the sincerity of the effort.
Why did our people play lacrosse with such enthusiasm? As mentioned earlier, part of this explanation lies in the link between lacrosse and its status as a gift from the Creator, but lacrosse had additional spiritual significance as well. In times when an elder or anyone in the Nation became sick, the medicine people would call upon the Life Forces of Mother Earth to remedy the sickness. The medicine people would prepare and administer the medicines obtained from Mother Earth, and then they would call for a lacrosse game to be played to provide additional power for the medicine. Our people believed that by demonstrating to the Creator that his people had not forgotten his gift, the Creator would look favourably upon their efforts and therefore would not forget the stricken member. The game was played for the Creator's attention and his fair decision as to whether or not the stricken member recovered or not. The medicine people would prepare and administer the medicines, and the game preceded by sacred ritual would be played with the sincerest effort. If the stricken member failed to recover, no one doubted the decision of the Creator.

Judicial developments and policing research played a crucial role in this evolution, as the movement initiated in France by Alphonse Bertillon quickly sparked a global surge in the creation of identification departments. After being first applied to delinquents and criminals, use of these novel techniques was extended to larger categories of the population, whom police authorities specifically wanted to monitor. The general public was able to discover these techniques in the press and at international fairs, a dissemination which quickly brought about a multitude of other projects, further extending the influence of judicial identitification into the civil society. Indeed, the legal field directly influenced a number of civil practices, such as the reorganizing of census or civic registration operations.
Several topics will be considered in particular:
- The International Dissemination of Judicial Identification.
The purpose is to list the various identification departments that were created throughout the world, and document the political and institutional climate that presided over the implementation of specialized set-ups within police and justice departments, especially in Europe and the Americas. Very little research has been devoted to the implications of the identification of persons in a colonial context. This area might also be researched by exploring the specifics of the regulatory frameworks and identification technologies that were applied to colonized populations, as well as the numerous discussions and reactions elicited by the systems that were deployed. This will enable a comparative study of the various colonial empires, thus enriching our knowledge of both the administration of individuals and the judicial field in that context.
- Knowledge Networks and Identification Technologies.
We are considering promoting original work about person identification technology. Research pertaining to the inception of such technologies – e.g. anthropometry, criminal photography, or dactyloscopy – and to a socio-history of identification science is encouraged. Little is known about the dynamics of the knowledge background against which these technologies have developed. Multiple scientific fields converge at the crossroad of identification science. The influence of certain areas – such as anthropology, medicine, and forensic medicine – and scientists from such diverse fields as bibliography, chemistry, or natural science, needs to be better understood. The consequences of the use of novel identification techniques in judicial inquiry procedures is another possible lead for investigation.
- Identification Practices
Particular attention will be paid to identification practices. In the policing area, interactions between the various forces involved in person identification deserves some rigorous analysis work, based especially on local case studies, which are in short supply in our knowledge of these practices. The teaching of identification techniques and learning, the implementation of specific didactics, and issues in the training of officers may be considered as well. More broadly, topics deserving in-depth treatment include the transmission of a body of knowledge and the implementation thereof, organizational aspects of the institutions contributing to their dissemination, regulatory set-ups, and the daily work of officers.
This call for papers welcomes 30,000-sign articles in French or English. These contributions will be published online, within the framework of Alphonse Bertillon and the Identification of Persons, 1880-1914, a website hosted by the Criminocorpus platform (Criminocorpus, a Portal on the History of Justic, Crime, and Punishment.) Selected articles will be posted online in html format and can be supplemented by iconography and documents.
Authors interested in submitting a paper are invited to send a 3,000-sign abstract before september 1, 2010. Abstracts will be evaluated by the project coordinators. The deadline for paper submission is October 1, 2010. Accepted articles will be posted online on January 1, 2011.
Subsequent publication of online articles in book format (either in English or French), sometime during 2011, is currently under consideration.

In visiting with people gathering to watch the burn from a distance, a definite age of the elevators could not be determined. Arne Axelson, a long-time employee at Ag Partners (and Quaker Oats and Cargill which were the earlier names of the company) estimated the structures went up in 1957 or 1958. He even recalls taking lumber (2x8 and 2x6) from the train cars and stacking it for use in the construction.
Axelson had a grand seat watching the burn. By the way, he is also a retired 41-year member of the Alta Fire Department so had two interests in the event.
The training gave all those firemen and ladies the opportunity to work as group and manage the water supply.
By the way, there were two designated areas where water was pulled from so that it did not diminish Alta's water supply.

Shih Tzu
The average Shih Tzu weighs between 9 and 16 pounds and stands between 8 and 11 inches. While Shih Tzu come in many different colors, they are most commonly gold and white or black and white.
Shih Tzu do very well in just about any environment. They are certainly suitable for an apartment, as they take up very little space and don't require much exercise. They are essentially "lap dogs" and will happily spend most of their time doing just about nothing, if given the chance. For most Shih Tzu, the only activity they really enjoy doing is following their owner as she goes about her daily routine. They enjoy companionship and dislike being left alone for extended periods of time.
Shih Tzu should be groomed daily, if possible. A short grooming session each day will keep your pup's coat looking smooth and shiny and avoid the need for extensive grooming sessions. Grooming is also a great way to bond with your Shih Tzu and will provide a time you both can enjoy together.
Shih Tzu are generally happy little dogs. They don't require much more than a good meal, a quick daily grooming session, and some love and attention. A Shih Tzu can make a great pet for any person looking for a dog to love.

Ellen Dennett testified that when she pushed 78-year-old Kathleen Livingstone down the stairs, she "just wanted her to shut up."
The 59-year-old took the stand in her own defence at her second degree murder trial in Longueuil before judge Sophie Bourque. Dennett is also accused of credit card theft.
Livingstone was found stabbed to death in her Brossard home in June 2011.
Dennett was often tearful as she described her version of events, confirming what she told a police investigator on video following her arrest on June 27, 2011.
Dennett testified that she moved in with Livingstone to care for the wheelchair-bound widow in May 2011 after Dennett claimed she was abandoned by Livingstone's son with whom she had been communicating on Facebook and Skype. Dennett testified she gave up her life in L.A. to be with Robert Livingstone. Dennett said she bonded with Kathleen Livingstone who told her Robert had just packed up and left.
Dennett said the relationship with the wheelchair-bound widow was fine at first but degenerated in the last four weeks of her life. Dennett testified Livingstone started criticizing her every move, often needling her by asking how Dennett could leave her adult daughter behind in California for a loser like her son.
Dennett testified that phrase came up again on June 23, 2011 and made her angry, very angry.
"I pushed her down the stairs," Dennett whispered tearfully.
Upon cross examination by crown prosecutor Sasha Blais, Dennett testified she'd had enough and lost control.
"I just wanted her to stop talking," Dennett sobbed.
"I just wanted her to shut up."
Dennett broke down at one point earlier in her testimony, saying how sorry she was that she destroyed a family.
"I never meant for this to happen," she said in tears.
Dennett testified she didn't hate Livingstone.
"I hated her son, I hated the way she talked to me, I hated the things she said about my daughter," Dennett said.
Dennett admitted she stabbed Livingstone with two kitchen knives, the first knife breaking.
Blais asked Dennett why she just didn't leave if she was so miserable living with Livingstone.
"I don't know," Dennett replied.
"I was hoping he'd show up," Dennett testified, referring to Robert Livingstone.
"I was hoping if he showed up, all this would go away. It would be okay."
Defence lawyer Giuseppe Battista told the court that during closing arguments on Friday, they'd be making their case for manslaughter.

Negotiating a Climate Treaty—Common but How Differentiated?
Understanding the common but differentiated principle is the start of how the world has delegated responsibilities to the players around the globe in order to tackle the energy challenge of the 21st century. Approaching this principle is an important beginning in order to start working on the policy, business, research and development, and the environmental potential solutions. Stephen Eule and Julian Wong bring us their own angles on why and how this basic principle should be renewed and implemented to keep pace with a fast-changing and carbon-intense world.

XXIII. Killing Spree
JillyFoo on April 19, 2013
An intense chapter coming up.
On another note I am still trying to find time to go to conventions.
I am planning to go to Anime Atlantic in June as a panelist and perhaps some art in the Art Show.
I have canceled going to SpringCon in St. Paul this May due to not being able to take time off work.
I have gotten a table in the artist alley for Intervention 2013 in DC this coming August. I hope to manage getting the time off to go.

In Reply.—As noted in our article1 and as described by Dr Nord, the photon absorptiometer marketed by the Norland Corporation, Fort Atkinson, Wis (and until recently the only one used for assessing small infants) has indeed been modified. Our findings obscure the interpretation of virtually all published studies using photon absorptiometry in small infants, but they do not reflect the reliability of the model 278-A Norland Bone Densitometer. Dr Nord's statements about this model are encouraging. However, as for other evaluation tools, adequate reliability should not be assumed until the manufacturers or investigators answer all important questions about their reliability studies. One should know whether only "representative" scans were included and whether scans without clearly discernible bone edges were excluded when reliability was calculated. Was the instrument further modified by the investigators, or were high-intensity radiation sources used to improve reliability? Were low-birth-weight infants with rickets or severe osteopenia

Differences of Opinion
Some people are boycotting the Lohan-Leto movie about John Lennon murderer Mark David Chapman because they think it gives him too much publicity. Mayor Bloomberg made an ill-timed Leonardo DiCaprio–Bar Refaeli joke. Mary-Louise Parker and Weeds co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan have split, though in this case she was not pregnant with his child. The Daily News sticks to its claim that Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen are actually doing it in Factory Girl. George Soros spoke at Davos last week about America's need for a "de-Nazification" process. The U.S. Postal Service refused to ship cards from Chez Josephine owner Jean-Claude Baker because they had pictures of boobies — Josephine Baker's boobies — on them. — on them.

Pope John XXIII MassUPDATED 5:41 PM MDT Apr 27, 2014
In New Mexico, one church has the name Pope John The Twenty Third and its in Albuquerque.Video Transcript
IN NEW MEXICO, ONE CHURCH HAS THE NAME POPE JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD. AND IT'S IN ALBUQUERQUE. AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE. AND PARISHIONERS COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. Hart Guenther, Parishioner: We've been waiting for this for a number of years. Matthew Aguilera, Youth Director: It's really exciting. I'm actually super joyous. Teresa Schaub, Youth group member: It's a really big deal for us and just the idea that we'll have a saint, because a lot of churches choose their name off of a saint and we chose our name off of a pope, so now that it's a saint, it'll be really cool for us. A NEW SCULPTURE BY A SANTA FE ARTIST GREETED SUNDAY PARISHIONERS. AN IMAGE OF POPE, AND NOW SAINT JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD. SOME IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WERE SKEPTICAL, SAYING JOHN XXIII HADN'T BEEN CREDITED WITH TWO MIRACLES, AS IS OFTEN REQUIRED TO BECOME A SAINT. PEOPLE HERE SAY IT'S ABOUT THE BIGGER PICTURE OF FAITH. Hart Guenther, Parishioner: When they took his body and moved it downstairs, to where the catacombs are, he was just like the day he was buried. Matthew Aguilera, Youth Director: The reason that Catholics have saints isn't so much that we're trying to create these false idols or anything crazy like that. YOUTH DIRECTOR MATTHEW AGUILERA LIKENS IT TO PRAISE FOR SPORTS FIGURES, AND WEARING THEIR JERSEYS. Matthew Aguilera, Youth Director: Because it doesn't go unnoticed by Catholics, I think, in essence saints are our super heroes. THE OTHER POPE-TURNED-SAINT, JOHN PAUL THE SECOND, RECEIVED THE FASTEST CANONIZATION IN CHURCH HISTORY. BUT DID IT COME TOO SOON? Tina Nunez, Church visitor: Many people may say that he may not have earned it, because it may be a little early, but he touched so many lives in so many ways. Teresa Schaub, Youth group member: I personally don't think it's too soon. I think that pope francis knows what he's doing. POPE FRANCIS WAIVED THE REQUIREMENT OF A SECOND MIRACLE, IN ORDER TO CANONIZE JOHN THE 23RD. THE CHURCH ALTAR HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE NOW HAS A RELIC OF ITS PATRON SAINT-- A PIECE OF THE

Sizzling season shatters long-held beliefs
This summer has confirmed a few truisms about the box office: Big, noisy action films make money, Will Smith and Pixar are invincible and some "surefire" titles are bound to fail ("Speed Racer," "The Love Guru" and "Meet Dave" all sounded good on paper, but they were met with anything but love at the box office).
But otherwise, the summer has killed a lot of long-held beliefs about how the B.O. works. The following are examples of "conventional wisdom" touted by studio honchos that have turned out to be totally wrong.
Summer films fade faster than a tan.
With two, and sometimes, three big films opening each weekend, distribs complain that their films — particularly tentpoles — have no breathing room. That's not the case this summer.
All sorts of films have showed remarkable staying power, including "Iron Man," "Mamma Mia!" "Get Smart," "Hancock" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
Family pics tend to have sturdy legs, but this year's crop are particularly muscular, with "Kung Fu Panda," "Wall-E" and 3-D action-adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth" playing longer and stronger than some of their predecessors.
And while superhero tentpole "The Dark Knight's" bow was record-setting, the film's remarkable performance is due to its longevity: Four weeks at No. 1, and counting.
Summer films are targeted only at teenage boys.
Fanboys accounted for much of the strength of "Revenge of the Sith," "Spider-Man 3" and "Transformers." Adults were much more iffy, and summers were top-loaded with male-skewing popcorn pics.
This summer, there's been a wider variety of films offering up all sorts of onscreen heroes, for all different demos. The season featured a 65-year-old action hero (Harrison Ford), 40-plus romantic heroines (Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep) and Ben Kingsley, 64, who appeared in no fewer than five films this season (romancing Mary Kate Olsen and Penelope Cruz along the way).
Adult filmgoers have to wait until autumn.
Summer used to be a good time for indie counter-programming, but seasonal hits like "March of the Penguins" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" seem like distant memories. Studios' niche divisions and indies mostly sat out the summer, continuing a long drought for those areas.
Instead, "serious" filmgoers embraced films from the major studios, like "Dark Knight," "Wall-E," "Iron Man" and "Hancock," following the boffo success of last summer's "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "Ratatouille." Foreign filmmakers (Guillermo del Toro, Timur Bekmambetov) and indie faves (Christopher Nolan, Jon Favreau) are working in the tentpole genre.
Another reason is the sea change in the specialty and indie world. Festival acquisitions aren't paying off the way they used to, meaning fewer films coming out of studio specialty arms.
The new "Hulk" is bound to overshadow its predecessor.
Before "The Incredible Hulk" bowed, Marvel Studios and Universal insisted it was a much-needed reinvention, not a sequel to the 2003 "Hulk." After the film opened, the press carried breathless stories saying the new one got better reviews, and that fans liked it much better. Best of all, it would do bigger business at the box office.
All interesting theories, all wrong.
The earlier film earned $245 million worldwide; the latter got $250 million. Website rottentomatoes.com recorded 61% positive reviews for the '03 version, 67% for this year's.
In truth, maybe the world didn't need another "Hulk," but maybe Marvel did. Marvel is intent on being more independent, securing a healthy line of credit that it used to finance both "Iron Man" and "Incredible Hulk." The 2003 "Hulk" was co-produced and co-financed by U and Marvel, meaning the studio took the lead. Although U still retains the film license to the character, Marvel got much better terms this time.
Females alone can't open a movie to big B.O. numbers.
Think again. This summer's "Sex and the City" opened to a boffo $57 million in late May on its way to grossing $151.8 million domestically, almost entirely on the strength of women. Females of all ages acted like fanboys in organizing outings to theaters with their girlfriends. Repeat viewings also were the norm, another hallmark of the big male-skewing films.
Sequels will match or surpass the originals, no matter the season.
Last summer's glut of three-quels and sequels saw them come within range of their predecessors' huge grosses. The "Harry Potter" movies are generally released around year-end holiday, but sometimes go out in the summer. In either season, the "Potter" pics have all been successful.
Disney took a hit this summer with sequel "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian." The studio released the first "Narnia" pic in December, to boffo results. It slowly and steadily grew its domestic gross to $291.7 million and another $453.1 million overseas. "Prince Caspian" cumed $141 million in North America and $254 million internationally. Many films would be happy with those tallies, but they're pale compared to the first one.
Some box office observers say "Narnia" might be better suited for a December playdate. But the pic's performance may not have been just a seasonal issue. Disney sold the second "Narnia" as a different pic, one that was more dark and featured more action. The third "Narnia" is set to open in May 2010.
It's easy to handicap the summer.
Heading into summer 2007, studio execs and the media fretted that the glut of sequels would cannibalize each other. By the time the summer was over — bringing record-breaking grosses of $4.16 billion — everyone said of course it was a strong summer, since titles like "Spider-Man 3," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Shrek the Third" were virtually pre-sold.
As this summer got under way, some fretted that 2008 didn't have enough sequels. As it turns out, summer box office revenues are even with that of 2007. That means theater owners and Hollywood could see their second consecutive record-breaking summer.
There were twists and turns that no one predicted. Who would have bet that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" would not have the summer's biggest opening, or that "Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" would outgross it?
Bottom line: It's fun to handicap and fun to be surprised, but success at the box office can be determined by a confluence of mysterious factors — the economy, the mood of the world and even, shockingly, the quality of the films.

Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,350.00
Collection of seven signed items by Mickey Mantle or Joe DiMaggio, each personalized to Barry Halper. Autographs of these legends from Barry's collection are all the more desirable as nearly all of the items signed by the pair in his collection were obtained in person. His close friendship with both men often occasioned the addition of a significant inscription as well. Offered here is a collection of seven special items that Barry chose to keep, each signed either by Mantle or DiMaggio, and each of which bears a personalized inscription. 1) 9 x 13-inch magazine page, circa 1947, picturing DiMaggio running on an indoor track. It has been inscribed in black ink ("7") atop his image: "Barry – Didn't know I had that many muscles – Joe DiMaggio." The page is in Excellent condition and has been matted and framed to total dimensions 12.75 x 16.75 inches. 2) 8 x 10 inch color photo of DiMaggio posing on the field. Inscribed in black marker ("8/9"): "To my friend Barry – Best Always – Joe DiMaggio." The photo displays light emulsions throughout (only visible when viewed at certain angles) as well as a few light wrinkles. In Very Good condition. 3) Softball inscribed in blue marker ("9") on a side panel: "To Barry – My baseball career started with a ball like this." The regulation size softball is heavily worn and the signature panel has been coated with a light layer of protective shellac. In Good condition. 4) 8 x 10-inch color photo (produced on board) of Mickey Mantle at the plate. Inscribed in blue Sharpie ("8/9") atop his image "To Barry – My best wishes – Your friend Mickey Mantle – 1/18/85." The photo displays light surface wear, including a few minor scratches, and a small corner chip in the lower left. In Very Good condition. 5) 10.25 x 13.25-inch color photo, taken by noted photographer David Spindell, depicting an assortment of Mantle memorabilia from the Halper Collection. Mantle has signed the piece in blue Sharpie ("10") along the top of the white wood frame "To Barry – Good luck in your new distribution center – Your friend – Mickey Mantle." The photo has also been signed in black marker ("8") by Spindell, who has added the inscription "To Barry – Someone xtra [sic] special." The photo displays a four-inch diagonal scratch in the center and is otherwise in Excellent condition. The white frame (15.25 x 18.25 inches) exhibits moderate surface wear. 6) 8 x 10-inch color photo of Mantle and Barry Halper posing together. Inscribed in blue Sharpie ("10"): "To Barry – Best Wishes – Mickey Mantle." The photo displays slight rippling and is otherwise in Excellent condition. 7) Mickey Mantle display piece (22.5 x 15 inches) featuring a Robert Simon illustration of Mantle alongside a list of his lifetime statistics. Issued in 1985 by Cope Enterprises Inc. It appears this display was a limited-edition production, as it is numbered "5/1000" along the base. It has been inscribed in blue marker ("9/10"), "To Barry – I still think you are over married – Mickey Mantle." Framed to total dimensions of 25.5 x 18 inches. From the Barry Halper Collection.

Looking for my Tango spirited family past
Joining MyHeritage's team as a Community Manager for the Spanish speaking countries was a nice opportunity, as my job gave me the ability to get in touch with and discover the history of my own family. This was something I took the opportunity to explore when I recently visited my home town, Buenos Aires, Argentina, after two years of living in London.
It turned out to be a trip full of emotion and happiness, as I got the chance to see my loved ones after such a long time. I didn't have a free second left as I met family and more family, and friends and more friends.
Luckily, one of my cousins was getting married, so I had the chance to meet all my relatives at once. Some of them I wouldn't have met if it wasn't for that event, because part of my family lives in Rosario, the third largest city in the country.
My family has had a farm near Rosario for almost 100 years. It all begun with an Italian settler, my great-great-grandfather. A few years ago we celebrated the 100th anniversary of his wedding. To honor the event, a band played Italian music, and the wedding dress and a giant picture of the wedding were on display. We all gathered together, eating a big "Asado", an Argentine BBQ dish.
Of course, I ate as much Asado as I could when I visited this time. Even if you don't want to, it's difficult to avoid eating meat in my country as it's the core of the national diet.
Especially since I am working for MyHeritage, I developed a strong curiosity for some events and people in my family, and I transmitted this enthusiasm to some of my relatives. For example, one of the family reunions we had involved some of my cousins. We didn't get to see each other very often since we live so far apart, but the relationship was reinvigorated when we starting using MyHeritage, and when we started sharing memories through our Family Site. From that point on, we decided to meet, and the outcome was great: we caught up with our lives and refreshed our relationship, which we will try to keep up from now on.
During my stay, I also took the opportunity to talk to my parents, asking them about people in the family and stories which could give me more information about my ancestry.
I always knew that one of my grandfathers played the "Bandoneon" (an instrument similar to the accordion) in tango orchestras at cinemas, putting music to silent movies. His wife, my grandmother, also claimed that she once met Carlos Gardel, the most worshiped tango singer in history. Although he has been dead for more than 70 years, there is still a popular saying that goes, "He sings better as days go by."
Tango is embedded in the culture of Buenos Aires and its people, who are called "Portenios," meaning "people from the port." Not only is a sensual kind of music and dance but its lyrics are very emotional and poetic. As Tango was shaped by immigration in the early 20th century, words are full of nostalgia, longing for things left behind or broken dreams.
My other grandfather was linked to motor racing in Argentina, in the early days of the sport. He was a race car builder, along with one of his brothers, while another brother was a driver. One of their brothers-in-law, Clemar Bucci, even raced in Formula One in the 1950s. He later used to tell us the most amazing stories about his racing days in Europe. Nowadays, car racing is a passion that still runs in the family, a tradition carried on by one of my cousins.
Some details of these stories and other family events I wanted to know more about were left unheard - there were so many stories that there wasn't enough time to hear them all! But clearly, my visit to my home country was a moving one, which among other things, helped me think about myself in a different light. I discovered the history of my family is also my own.
Search for your ancestors:
- Hi,
Your story was great! I am interested in Argentina because my Great Uncle, Frank Hanzel, moved there about 1910. The family doesn't seem to have much else, except an address a Great Aunt used in 1952 as she waited for a visa to move to the USA. I was wondering if you might have some insights into how to go about getting more information!
Any ideas?
- Hello Alice, I'm glad you liked the story, thanks.
I going to look for some sites in Argentina that might help you look for some information. Let me find out which ones can work for you.
If you would like to send me an email to this address: firstname.lastname@example.com so we can stay in contact that way, otherwise, I will publish the links here.

What Does Norway Get Out of its Oil Fund, if Not More Strategic Infrastructure Investment?
Michael Hudson
University of Missouri at Kansas City - Department of Economics ; Bard College - The Levy Economics Institute
March 14, 2011
Levy Economics Institute Working Papers Series No. 657
For the past generation Norway has supplied Europe and other regions with oil, taking payment in euros or dollars. It then sends nearly all this foreign exchange abroad, sequestering its oil-export receipts - which are in foreign currency - in the oil fund, to invest mainly in European and US stocks and bonds. The fund now exceeds $500 billion, second in the world to that of Abu Dhabi.
It is claimed that treating these savings as a mutual fund invested in a wide array of US, European, and other stocks and bonds (and now real estate) avoids domestic inflation that would result from spending more than 4 percent of the returns to this fund at home. But the experience of sovereign wealth funds in China, Singapore, and other countries has been that investing in domestic infrastructure serves to lower the cost of living and doing business, making the domestic economy more competitive, not less. This paper cites the debate that extends from US 19th-century institutional doctrine to the approach of long-time Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Yevgeny Primakov to illustrate the logic behind spending central bank and other sovereign foreign-exchange returns on modernizing and upgrading the domestic economy rather than simply recycling the earnings to US and European financial markets in what looks like an increasingly risky economic environment, as these economies confront debt deflation and increasing fiscal tightness.
