Fertility tests for women
Sponsored Links
Women who have been trying to conceive but have failed to get pregnant despite successful attempts of intercourse need to undergo fertility tests. The diagnostic tests determine the fertility quotient of a woman and simultaneously can detect the underlying causes of infertility.
We provide you a list of fertility tests that are conducted by doctors for this purpose.
Ovulation Testing
Ovulation testing can be done at home with the help of an ovulation prediction kit. Rise in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels before ovulation shows positive test results. Imbalance in LH hormone would indicate a negative test which further calls for hormonal blood test (prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, etc.) for fertility check.
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test
Anti-mullerian hormone is a substance produced by the granulosa (small) cells in ovarian follicles. A blood test is done for quantitative analysis of AMH which represents the ovarian reserve. Too low AMH level indicates lower oocyte production while too high AMH values may denote poly cystic ovarian syndrome. The optimal range of AMH for a fertile female lies between 28.6 pmol/L to 48.5 pmol/L.

Clomiphene citrate challenge testing (CCCT)
The clomiphene citrate challenge test (CCCT) is another test for assessing ovarian reserve. It is performed by measuring FSH and estradiol levels on day 3 of your cycle after administering 100 mg of clomiphene citrate on 5 through 9 days of the cycle. FSH and estradiol is again measured on day 10. High FSH level on cycle day 10 is negative indicator.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray perfomed to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. A thin tube (tubogram) is inserted through the vagina into the uterus which is filled with a contrast dye. Fluroscopy is done while the dye moves through the uterus and fallopian tubes. The images depict complications like presence of blockage, adhesive tissues, scarred tissues, tumours, injury and various other problems that prevent fertilization or implantation of the embryo.
Cervical mucus test and postcoital test
Cervial mucus and postcoital (cervical mucus after sex) tests are done to diagnose complications in the cervical mucus that might be hindering pregnancy. The test determines abnormal cervical mucus which can lead to incompatibility between the sperm and the cervical mucus. As a consequence, sperm becomes immobile and dies, preventing fertilization.
Ultrasound scan
Transvaginal ultrasound is performed which involves insertion of the ultrasound device through the vagina into the pelvic organs. The sound waves reflected from the reproductive organs like ovaries and uterus helps doctor determine presence of ovarian cysts, ovarian size (presence of follicles), fibroids, polyps, etc.
Hysteroscopy is a technique wherein a hysteroscope - a thin, lighted (a camera is attached at one end) tube that is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. During this procedure, your doctor can view the uterine cavity and diagnose the underlying problems that might be causing infertility. The complication could be uterine fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, etc.
It's an effective diagnostic as well as a treatment option for pelvic abnormalities responsible for infertility. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure done under general aesthesia for the purpose of inspecting the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the uterus. Surgical removal of scarred tissues, blockages, polyps, etc. can be performed with laparoscopy.
Endometrial biopsy
The lining of the endometrium is crucial for the implantation of the embryo. A small sample of tissue is scrapped from the endometrial lining just prior to menstruation to determine if it's thick enough to harbour the embryo. Endometrial biopsy can also help to diagnose hormonal, uterine and other types of hormonal disorders that could be causing infertility.

Announcing DKE Internship Endowment
In honor of Rho's founding 161 years ago at Lafayette College, we are pleased to announce the endowment of the DKE internship fund to provide an internship stipend to Rho Dekes and legacies of Rho Dekes. The College will administer the endowment and award the stipend through the College's Office of Career Services to those students who meet the College's eligibility criteria.
Thank you to all of the alumni and friends who contributed to the 160th Anniversary Campaign. You made this endowment possible and are opening up new internship opportunities for students. Thank you also to the College for working with us to create the endowment – and for passing the savings associated with the under budget DKE House Renovation to the DKE side of the ledger, which will make this endowment grow faster than previously planned.
This endowment is a part of the Live Connected Lead Change Campaign for Lafayette College. When DKE succeeds, Lafayette succeeds!
Happy Founders Day to all Rho Dekes.
Welcome back Delta Tau Delta
"A fraternity returns: DTD gains college approval" by Ian Morse appeared on The Lafayette's website last Friday. The article announces that the 18 member Recognition Committee decided to grant Delta Tau Delta (DTD) colony status.
President of DTD Dan Lupia '16 (Full disclosure: Lupia copyedits for us. He did not copyedit this story) said the 26 members of DTD are excited about the decision. A ceremony to recognize them as a colony will be held at a nearby DTD chapter within about three weeks, according to Lupia.
"We're just really happy to have finally made a step at Lafayette College moving in the pro-Greek life direction and bringing something back to the school," he said.
DTD has a strong group of alumni who have always been inclusive and welcoming at their tailgates and golf outings. They've fostered connections with the Delta Delta Delta women occupying the former DTD house, including co-hosting events with the chapter.
DKE wishes DTD well. We want every fraternity and sorority chapter to succeed at Lafayette College to enrich the student experience. Moving forward, DTD will operate with the support of their national and local alumni as a colony for 2-4 semesters.
DTD and Chi Phi had both applied to the Recognition Committee; however, the process limits expansion to one chapter per year within a given type of group (social, service, or culturally based organizations). Word is Chi Phi received feedback on their application and is encouraged to reapply next year with a stronger application.
Hopefully they do reapply.
For those interested in keeping track, there are three active fraternity chapters on campus (DKE, DU, and Phi Psi), one colony (DTD), one suspended fraternity chapter (Zeta Psi, 11/25/2018). Chi Phi is the only social fraternity that has students actively seeking recognition. There are also students interested in service oriented groups such as Alpha Phi Omega (the world's largest service fraternity, which was founded at Lafayette), as well as culturally based chapters, none of which would conflict with or compete with Chi Phi's reapplication.
Happy Founders Day Rho!
Last Call: Rho of DKE 160th Anniversary
Last call to register for DKE events at Homecoming next weekend to celebrate Rho's 160th Anniversary. So far 215 people are attending various DKE events throughout the weekend, with 125 planning to attend the 160th Anniversary Dinner on Saturday night.
We need to place the food and beverage order with Catering on Monday, so please register now!
You can find event descriptions along with food menus here. The commemorative merchandise for the 160th is described with photos here.
Rho DKE's 160th and Homecoming 2015
Welcome home! The newly renovated DKE House greeted dozens of Rho DKE collegians to campus this past weekend.
The registration page for the weekend of events to celebrate the 160th Anniversary of the Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Lafayette College is now live. Register now.
The schedule of events includes a golf outing, dedication ceremony with President Byerly, Oktoberfest, and the 160th Anniversary dinner. Families and friends are welcome at each event except for the annual meeting of the Rho House Association. The registration page has details. If we do not hit our minimum attendees for each event by October 7th, we'll be canceling the specific events where we fall short of our minimum attendees.
We're also offering Rho DKE gear commemorating our 160th Anniversary. Again, if we don't hit our minimum numbers for a specific item, we'll be canceling that item's order.
The Rho House Association is looking forward to seeing many Rho Dekes celebrate this significant milestone in our chapter's illustrious history. In the meantime, please enjoy the photos made available on Flickr by the College's photographer, Chuck Zovko.
It is hard to believe it was just over a year ago that we hosted the ground breaking ceremony for this exciting renovation.
Rho News Fall 2015 Edition
The fall 2015 edition of the Rho News (click here for PDF) was distributed via the College via e-mail and direct mail this week.
This issue focuses on the significant accomplishment of renovating the DKE House at Lafayette College. It also introduces the events the Rho House Association has planned to commemorate the 160th Anniversary of the Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon during Homecoming (October 16-17). Other highlights include features of our collegiate's accomplishments, new careers, and an update from the Class of '86.
If you haven't yet made your gift or pledge in honor of DKE's 160th Anniversary at Lafayette College, please do so now. Gifts are fully tax deductible and may be spread over up to five years, but you need to make your gift or pledge before October 1st to be included in the recognition materials for the 160th Anniversary. In addition to a plaque in the DKE House recognizing leadership gifts, every donor will be recognized in the program for the 160th Anniversary Dinner. Just say "DKE 160" in the memo line of your gift.
We still need $160,000 to fully fund our share of the DKE House renovation. Make your gift to be a part of this exciting chapter in our fraternity's storied history.
Spring 2015 Grade Report
As Delta Kappa Epsilon turns 171 years old today, the Rho Chapter has additional cause to celebrate. On Friday, the College released their academic performance report for the 2015 spring semester.
We are pleased to announce that our undergraduates attained an average chapter GPA of 3.36 compared to the All Upper-Class, Non-Affiliated Men's Average of 3.21. This marks the fourth consecutive semester over semester increase in GPA by our student brothers. They're also within striking distance (0.01) of toppling Phi Kappa Psi (the statisticians would say we've already matched them)!
There were also several outstanding individual accomplishments, which will be recognized in the next Rho News including multiple men with a 4.0 GPA for the semester and over 25% of the chapter making the Dean's List!
Academic performance, and specifically GPA, has been a focus area for our undergraduates for the past several years. Congratulations for this accomplishment!
Our friends at the College sent new photos of construction progress at the DKE House. What a great way to start the week!
Over 150 Rho Dekes, family, and friends have supported the campaign so far. Please join us by making a tax deductible gift or pledge today towards our 160th Anniversary Campaign by visiting Leopard Link and putting "For DKE 160th" in the comments. Making a five year pledge by June 30th will maximize the impact of your gift.
For gifts of stock and other questions, contact Tommaso Marsella '06 in the Development Office at 610.330.5573.
Reunion 2015
We have arranged a tour of the DKE House for interested alumni on Saturday, June 6th during reunion. Because it will still be an active construction site during reunion, space is limited. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in reserving a space on the tour.
As of early May, the following Rho Dekes are registered with the College to attend reunion this year:
Ed McNally '65
John Krah '75
Daniel Moore '75
Gary Schaeffer '75
Neill Kling '85
Scott Harris '95

Whether you are looking for a tenant or a purchaser of your business premises, we will be able to assist in finding a suitable occupier or purchaser.
Our agency work is wide ranging and includes industrial, office and retail instructions. Apart from straightforward disposals, we are also able to carry out acquisitions and this ranges from undertaking initial searches through to providing detailed advice regarding values, rent and lease terms.

Commercial Valuation
Commercial valuations can be provided for a variety of purposes,

In assessing whether a Valuation is required, property owners or potential purchasers may require informal advice. Under certain circumstances a Chartered Surveyor is permitted to give advice which is not a Valuation but nevertheless can be of real benefit in the decision making process when considering the acquisition or disposal of a commercial property asset.
As qualified Chartered Surveyors we can provide valuations in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Appraisal and Valuation Manual referred to as a 'Red Book Valuation'.
Rent Reviews And Lease Renewals
Most forms of lease make provision for the rent reviews. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, we can work on your behalf to ensure that the best value is being achieved. We have extensive knowledge of what rents are being asked and paid for different properties and can use this knowledge to your advantage in negotiations and advice.
Rating Assessment
In respect of a new assessment, we are able to carry out a rating assessment and advise on the benefits of making an appeal, and the likely outcome. An appeal may produce a reduction in the rates payable, but caution needs to be exercised as an appeal can also lead to an increase.

No Sleep Till August
It's time once again for the good people of PØST to lose their dang minds, as the fifth iteration of the July "Kamikaze Shows" gets under way Monday evening. The concept is simple -- it's the implementation that's a killer. Every night in July (yes, including federal holidays), this bastion of indie art and conceptual curation hosts a new exhibition with its own reception. Deploying painting, drawing, sculpture, video, photography and whatever else is handy, this advent calendar of summer subculture attracts intrepid audiences and a broad swath of contemporary artists who live by the Kamikaze series motto: "Difficult times invite difficult gestures. By design, these exhibits remain close to art and distant from the other stuff." You really should try to catch as many as you can, if not all, because although the higher-profile shows -- folks like Joshua Aster, Carl Berg (of the Prospectus Gallery), Salomon Huerta, Maya Lujan (currently exhibiting at Carmichael Gallery in Culver City) and William Kaminski (of Control Room) -- probably will be the most crowded, if history is any indication, even the lesser-known options will be a great way to let yourself be taken by surprise. PØST, 1904 E. Seventh Place, dwntwn.; Mon., July 1-Wed., July 31, 7-9 p.m. nightly; free. (213) 488-1280, postlosangeles.org.

Helpful Tips To Beat Your Online Competition
The internet has made it easy for anyone to build a business. Although this means great opportunities for budding entrepreneurs, it also means that there's a lot of competition out there. This article is chock full of tips on how to beat your online competition to become number one.
Call to Action
When you're connecting with clients via email and social media, a strong call to action is important. The call to action is a line of text designed to encourage them to choose your business: whether it's buying your product, signing up for a service, or entering a competition.
Unique Content
You'll need to give people a good reason to stick around on your website. That's where interesting and engaging content comes in. Use keyword research tools to find out what people are looking for in search engines, and write engaging articles based around that. This will help people to find your website, and if there's enough interesting content on there they'll stick around.
Have Clear Goals & Targets
Before launching your website, you will need to establish clear goals. This will help you to solve problems if and when they arise. Having a business plan and knowing who your target audience is will help you to market to the right people online.

Québec is the oldest and largest Canadian province with the first permanent settlement established by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. The first colonist family arrived in 1617. For the next 46 years, there were conflicts between fur traders and colonists and between New France and the British colonies to the south.
Québec became a British colony by the Proclamation of 1763 and extended west to include land that is now known as Ontario. British merchants arrived after the Conquest and demanded British law. In 1774 the Québec Act adopted both British criminal law and French civil law.
The Constitutional Act of 1791 (dividing Québec into Upper and Lower Canada) was passed in order to meet the demands of the Loyalists. The land east of the Ottawa River became the Province of Lower Canada. The rebellions of 1837 resulted in the Act of Union in 1841 changing Upper and Lower Canada to Canada West and Canada East (Québec). Confederation in 1867 saw Canada East become the Province of Québec in the Dominion of Canada.
This capsule of history provides an outline of the changing boundaries and policies that were all part of the growth of Québec. As each different nationality vied for power and control, the laws of the land were adjusted accordingly. This will aid you in determining what records were created and why. This should enable you to plan your strategy and to be able to understand when and how people arrived and settled in Québec.
Seigneurial Records
Under French rule the seigneurial system was the method of land ownership and settlement. From the beginning, large grants of land were issued by the Crown to seigneurs (lords) who held them in feudal servitude to the king. The lords hired indentured land workers and habitants (the French farming class) to work the land. Although the lords did not actually own the land they could buy and sell it by "right of occupancy." This system was abolished in 1854. The river-lot system was used as a means of laying out and dividing the land. Having access to the waterways provided the settler with transportation and food. It was a system that had been used in France and worked well along the 'water highway' of the St. Lawrence River. The land was divided into long narrow strips of land facing the river. The sizes were about 1:10 ratio and although these strips were of irregular size they did provide river access to each piece of property. This was most prevalent along the St. Lawrence River but was also found along all the other waterways.
Notarial Records
In Québec, deeds and other documents about land transfers are in the notarial records. Notaries (notaires) have registered all types of contracts since 1626. These deeds, wills, marriage contracts and other records were recorded and the originals given to the parties involved with the notary keeping a copy known as "minutes."
The information included in the minutes gives at least the name of the notary, the date and place the document was prepared, the names and addresses of the persons involved, and the names and addresses of the witnesses. The ages and relationships of the witnesses and the persons involved are sometimes included.
These records are not normally indexed by the names of the persons involved in the contract; instead they are collected by the name of the notary. These notarial records are sent to the protonotaire of the local judicial district when the notary involved no longer is employed as a notary. Notarial records before 1900 have been deposited in the branches of the Archives Nationales du Québec (see contact information at end of this module).
An important early notary was Léon Lalanne. He was a notary for the entire Eastern Townships area between 1799 and 1815. This included the Bedford Judicial District and the St. Francis Judicial District. The counties in the Bedford district are Brome, Missisquoi and Shefford. The counties in the St. Francis district are Compton, Richmond, Sherbrooke, Stanstead and Wolfe.
Notarial records after 1900 are only available to the person involved or the person's legal representative who may request copies from the judicial district office that has the records. Addresses of the judicial offices are given in Marthe Faribault-Beauregard's La Généalogie: Retrouver ses ancêtres. Current addresses of the district offices are listed in annual editions of the Canadian Almanac and Directory.

Since 1997 the Chambres des notaires has collaborated with the Archiv-Histo Society to produce the Parchemin Project (Banque Parchemin), an index to the files (greffes) of deceased Quebec notaries. The database is searchable online (in French) or by a set of CD-ROMs held by major research repositories. You can search the database by key word (mot-clé) such as your ancestor's surname, or by the name of a local notary. There is also a map-related feature for determining the name of a notary who worked in your ancestor's locale. The database includes other types of papers prepared by notaries, besides land-related documents.

Tobias Shattock
October 2nd 1767 —
Mr. Eleazar Wheelock DD.
Tobias Shattock was a Narragansett leader who briefly attended Moor's Indian Charity School. He died in Edinburgh while trying to protect Narragansett land interests. Like many Moor's students, Tobias was from a powerful family: he and his brother John were the sons of John Shattock Sr., a Narragansett lay minister. Tobias and John received their basic education from Edward Deake at Charlestown and then attended Moor's from December 1766 to the fall of 1767. By all accounts, Tobias was an especially promising student. Both Tobias and John left Moor's to try to defend Narragansett land claims. The Narragansett sachems had run up massive debt over the course of the 18th century, and were trying to sell Narragansett land to the colony of Rhode Island to settle them. Much of the Narragansett Tribe opposed this course of action. Tobias and John Jr. took the lead in the Tribe's efforts to recruit powerful allies for their cause. Tobias appealed to Sir William Johnson and Andrew Oliver, who were able to secure a temporary halt on land sales. Then, with the support of Wheelock, Whitefield, and Sir William Johnson, the brothers set out to plead their case before the Privy Council in London in January 1768. They arrived in Edinburgh on April 15, 1768, where Tobias died of smallpox on May 6. John continued on to London, but was unsuccessful in his appeal. He returned to the colonies where he died in 1770.
Eleazar Wheelock was a New Light Congregationalist minister who founded Dartmouth College. He was born into a very typical Congregationalist family, and began studying at Yale in 1729, where he fell in with the emerging New Light clique. The evangelical network that he built in college propelled him to fame as an itinerant minister during the First Great Awakening and gave him many of the contacts that he later drew on to support his charity school for Native Americans. Wheelock's time as an itinerant minister indirectly brought about his charity school. When the Colony of Connecticut retroactively punished itinerant preaching in 1743, Wheelock was among those who lost his salary. Thus, in 1743, he began operating a grammar school to support himself. He was joined that December by Samson Occom, a Mohegan Indian, who sought out an education in hopes of becoming a teacher among his people. Occom's academic success inspired Wheelock to train Native Americans as missionaries. To that end, he opened Moor's Indian Charity School in 1754 (where he continued to train Anglo-American students who paid their own way as well as students who functionally indentured themselves to Wheelock as missionaries in exchange for an education). Between 1754 and 1769, when he relocated to New Hampshire, Wheelock trained approximately 60 male and female Native American students from nearby Algonquian tribes and from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of central New York. At the same time, he navigated the complicated politics of missionary societies by setting up his own board of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, although he continued to feud with the Boston Board of the SSPCK and the London Commissioners in Boston (more colloquially called the New England Company). By the late 1760s, Wheelock had become disillusioned with the idea of Native American education. He was increasingly convinced that educating Native Americans was futile (several of his students had failed to conform to his confusing and contradictory standards), and, in late 1768, he lost his connection to the Haudenosaunee. With his inclination and ability to sponsor Native American missionaries largely depleted, Wheelock sought instead to fulfill his ultimate ambition of obtaining a charter and opening a college, which he did in 1769. To fund this new enterprise, Wheelock drew on the £12,000 that Samson Occom had raised for Moor's Indian Charity School during a two-and-a-half year tour of Great Britain (1765 to 1768). Much of this money went towards clearing land and erecting buildings in New Hampshire for the Charity School's relocation — infrastructure that also happened to benefit Dartmouth. Many of Wheelock's contemporaries were outraged by what they saw as misuse of the money, as it was clear that Dartmouth College was not intended for Indians and that Moor's had become a side project. Although Wheelock tried to maintain at least some commitment to Native American education by recruiting students from Canadian communities, the move did a great deal of damage to his public image. The last decade of Wheelock's life was not easy. In addition to the problems of trying to set up a college far away from any Anglo-American urban center, Wheelock experienced the loss of relationships with two of his most famous and successful students, Samson Occom and Samuel Kirkland (an Anglo-American protégé). He also went into debt for Dartmouth College, especially after the fund raised in Britain was exhausted.
Andrew Oliver was an influential Boston merchant and politician, who was a member of several societies that funded Eleazar Wheelock, including the Boston Board of the New England Company (treasurer) and Massachusetts General Assembly (secretary). Oliver played an important political role in pre-Revolutionary Massachusetts and, as a firm advocate of Indian missions, attended multiple conferences with Indian tribes. He believed that Anglican and Dissenter missionaries and societies could cooperate, and after Oliver and Wheelock were introduced in 1756, Oliver helped Wheelock access funding from the New England Company, the Massachusetts Assembly, and the Boston Board of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge. Their relationship deteriorated, however, when the London Board of the New England Company turned against Wheelock late in 1765. Wheelock became aware of the London Board's change of heart through the "Oliver letter," a letter purportedly written by Oliver (actually written by Ebenezer Pemberton) that was "injurious" to the characters of Wheelock, Whitaker, and Occom. In 1765, Wheelock also lost his funding from the Massachusetts Assembly. It is unclear what role Oliver played in these events. On the one hand, the breach between Wheelock and the New England Company coincided with the collapse of Oliver's political career over his attempts to enforce the Stamp Act. Oliver may have been too preoccupied to be involved in the London Board's change of heart; after all, Boston mobs were burning him in effigy. On the other hand, if Oliver was not involved, it is more difficult to explain why his correspondence with Wheelock ended abruptly in 1767 or why Wheelock lost funding from the Assembly and the London Board at the same time. Oliver would be the obvious link; but of course, Wheelock had many detractors in Boston and another explanation is certainly possible.
Thomas Ninigret was the grandson of George Ninigret, the 17th-century Narragansett sachem made famous by his relationship with Roger Williams, the English minister who founded Rhode Island. In 1746, Thomas Ninigret became the Sachem of the Narragansett tribe, a position he would hold until his death. Like his predecessors, Ninigret sold large amounts of historically Niantic land (which the Narragansett sachems took possession of when the Niantics and the Narragansetts merged in 1680) to the colony of Rhode Island. Ninigret also accrued vast amounts of personal debt; his legendary spending is accredited to the time he spent in England receiving education, a period which many of his tribe believe made Ninigret a stranger to the Narragansett way of life. As a result, some Narragansetts attempted to convince the Rhode Island legislature to slow the land sales, and even petitioned for Ninigret's removal from the Sachemship. Wheelock took note of Ninigret's destructive behavior and wrote Governor Hopkins in 1767 to appeal for a moratorium on the sale of Niantic/Naragansett land. Ultimately, land sales did slow as the Narragansett people continued to petition the Rhode Island legislature, but only a small amount of Narragansetts remained living in Rhode Island by 1812. Ninigret, often sarcastically referred to as "King Tom," is remembered as the most costly ruler in the Ninigret line.
Sir William Johnson was a powerful British colonial official who amassed wealth and influence by integrating into the Mohawk tribe. For a brief window of time (1761-1768), he provided support for Wheelock's missionary efforts among the Six Nations. He also helped the Brothertown Nation of Indians procure land from the Oneidas. Johnson was born in Ireland in 1715. His family had been part of the Catholic elite, but after William of Orange's 1690 victory at the Battle of the Boyne, they at least nominally converted to the Episcopalian Church. In 1738, Johnson emigrated to America to manage his uncle Peter Warren's estate in Mohawk territory. Over the next decade, Johnson became wealthy in his own right through trade and land sales, acquiring a vast estate crowned by his manor house, Johnson Hall, which became the central location for British and Indian treaty making. In 1745, Johnson began collecting official British titles and positions. He played an important military role in the French and Indian War and was named Superintendent of Indian Affairs in 1756 and first baronet of New York in 1757. Much of Johnson's success was due to his influence among the Mohawks, which he obtained by learning their language and customs and integrating himself into their society. He participated in Mohawk rituals and entered into a common-law marriage with a powerful Mohawk woman, Molly Brant (also called Mary Brant). Because Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) society is matrilineal, this marriage was an essential element of his participation in Indian affairs. Wheelock desperately wanted to wield missionary influence among the Six Nations, and sought to obtain Johnson as an ally in his endeavors. At first, the two found grounds for cooperation. Wheelock sent Occom as a missionary to the Oneidas in 1761 and again in 1762, and sent a substantially larger group of missionaries and schoolmasters in 1765, 1766, and 1767. Johnson, meanwhile, encouraged Haudenosaunee children, including his brother-in-law Joseph Brant, to attend Moor's. Johnson's support proved indispensible to missionaries in the field; he helped with supplies, language skills, and relations with the Mohawks and Oneidas. Wheelock also valued Johnson for his influence in Britain, and drew on him for recommendations and public statements of support numerous times. From 1763 on, however, Johnson found himself decidedly uncomfortable with Wheelock's missionary efforts, and by 1769, their relationship had dissolved completely. In 1766, Johnson was invited to join the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG), the largest and most influential Anglican missionary society in the 18th-century British-Atlantic world. He began working to place Anglican missionaries, rather than Congregationalist and Presbyterian ones, among the Six Nations, which alarmed Wheelock. Johnson was generally supportive of Native American tribes' efforts to maintain their land and sovereignty. As the historian Linford Fisher has noted, "virtually every major Native group in southeastern New England successfully petitioned Johnson to act on their behalf during the late 1760s and early 1770s." Among these groups was the Brothertown Nation, a Christian composite tribe formed by Southern New England Algonquian Moor's alumni. Johnson helped them negotiate with the Oneidas, which proved essential to their successful land purchase and relocation to central New York.

There is only one report from the media in Cagayan de Oro for the last three days and it is about the flood, the continuous rains, the dead, the alleged floating coffins at Bolonsiri cemetery, traffic problems, people walking along waist-deep streets. Filipinos more particularly Kagay-anons in America are quiet about it while watching TV newscasts but defimitely they are hurt and so worried. They lost no time in contacting their relatives and friends for updates and names of victims. That is precisely what I did besides gathering information too. I stayed awake for more than 24 hours just to be sure the city I love so much is not floating on unparalleled disaster.
For myself I wanted to cry because I and my family were long time residents of the city and there never was a flood ever no matter how heavy the rains that hit the place. Three of my children were born there. They studied at the city central school then at the Cathedral High School and Xavier University and they all enjoyed the place that is known as the city of golden friendship.
Cagayan de Oro had always been my city after I left our town of Balingasag. I earned thousands of friends while I worked with the local media. I knew majority of the people specially city and provincial employees as well as in the private sectors.. You can see how much love has developed in my heart for the city, that to me has no equal. I lived five years in Cebu City, seven years in Manila, two years in Butuan and two years in Malaybalay – – 28 years in the United States but Cagayan de Oro remains the place I miss so much.
I am so glad a lot of city residents in Cagayan de Oro as well as businessmen went out amid downpour to distribute relief goods, donated foods, helped victims of the floods. So nice the pains in the heart of the victims are treated well and tears that were falling dried up. The people, like the city have hearts made of gold.
I wish to reiterate my previous prediction that the Spratly island is going to be the venue of a big military conflict that would involve the United States, China and most probably their allies. I guess everybody knows my point specially those who have the habit of reading media news reports. It is going to be deadly but there is nothing we can do but be part of the fracas. Certainly, I blame China for its attitude of expansionism on territories not within its domain. The site for probable conflict is within our territory. And the only participation of the United Stats is to make it sure the freedom of navigation of commercial vessels is assured.
One good thing is Japan which lately emerged as a superpower and is having friction with China is an ally of the United Stats and the Philippines. China has also its friends which I doubt it they will go into battle in the name of friendship or camaraderie.
While we focused our attention so much on heavy rains and floods, let us be aware of possible terrorists attacks that could take place anytime. I warn the authorities to be constantly watchful of movements of people disguised as typhoon victims but are carrying dynamites or hand grenades. Remember this: tragedies may come in series.
A south Korean who was arrested for drugs was shot dead while inside the police headquarter. This is just horrible. Well, if the mayor of Albuera, Leyte was killed by police while inside his cell, I don't think there is problem killing a Korean national. There is no special treatment for anybody once you are near a mentally defective government authority.
North Korea should be watched very closely. This country is busy with making weapons of mass destruction that could give trouble to people around the world. Satellite images reportedly showed activities in and around missile launching pad. The fat guy, I supposed, thinks nothing but war and death. BEN EMATA Bennex News Service

CUCM 6.0(1) - cluster
I have just installed cluster contain from 2 servers with CUCM 6.0(1). First (cm-1) as primary node, second (cm-2) as subsequent node. I requested and received licenses for each server. During license request for subsequent server, I used MAC of cm-2. But now publisher (cm-1) don't want to take that license.
Do I need license for subsequent server?
If, yes, should I use during registration MAC of Primary (Publisher) server?
And finally how can I request and change that license to right one?
Thanks in advance,
