Newspaper article: Reger Handel mit dem hohen Norden
Bart Holterman, 7 September 2017
Bart Holterman presentated the project and his own research on August 5 in Haus der Wissenschaft in Bremen. Matthias Holthaus was there as well and wrote the following article about it in the Weser Kurier of August 21, which gives a nice overview of the situation German merchants had to deal with when trading in the North Atlantic in the late Middle Ages (in German).

Worth a fortune: Icelandic gyrfalcons
Natascha Mehler, 11 August 2016
Throughout the medieval and early modern period, Icelandic gyrfalcons were highly valued at the courts of European rulers and they were worth a fortune. Indeed, Frederick II (1194-1250), Holy Roman Emperor, already noted in his treatise De arte venandi cum avibus that the best falcons for use in falconry were gyrfalcons (…et isti sunt meliores omnibus aliis, Girofalco enim dicitur). The reason for this was that of all falcon species, gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) are the largest and most powerful. Their plumage varies greatly from completely white to very dark, of which the white variety was the most valued hawking bird in the Middle Ages, and still is today. They only inhabit sub-arctic and arctic areas, with their highest population density in Iceland (one pair per 150-300 km²). During the breeding season (roughly February to June) there are today 200-400 nesting pairs in Iceland, and in the winter the population increases to 1.000-2.5000 individuals, due to migrating birds from Greenland.
Written sources from the 16th century, when German merchants from Hamburg and Bremen dominated the trade with the North Atlantic islands, give us a better insight into the falcon business with Iceland. Matthias Hoep, a Hamburg merchant, has left behind a collection of account books (1582-1594) which show us that he traded in many commodities such as fish, timber, and tools, and specialized in the trade of falcons. Hoep employed falcon catchers to catch birds in Iceland for him and he made specific contracts with them. The books record a great number of falcons and other birds of prey that he bought from falcon catchers and which he then sold on. On 5 April 1584, Hoep made a contract with the falcon catchers and brothers Augustin and Marcus Mumme which he commissioned to travel to Iceland to catch falcons. The contract specified the bird species, the conditions of the birds upon delivery, and the prices Hoep was going to pay after the successful return of the Mummes from Iceland:
"On 5 April [1584] I have dealt in my house with Augustin and Marcus Mumme, in the name of god, that they shall sail to Iceland in the name of god, and we agreed that I will give for each pair of falcons 11 ½ daler, and 2 tercel [male falcons] for 1 falcon, and what is blank shall be counted as a red [unmoulted] falcon. But what is white and moulted once, or moulted twice and beautiful, for those I shall give them 20 daler for each falcon and 10 daler for a tercel. But what has moulted three times we shall agree upon with good will, and if god and luck provides them with white falcons, I will give the one who catches them black cloth for a jacket of 2 ½ ells, all of this is validated with a denarius dei of 1 sosling each, and both brothers have promised with an oath to bring the best birds they can get and to take no birds away, neither in Iceland nor during the journey back, until they have all been delivered to me."
Roughly five months later, in September 1584, the brothers returned from Iceland and handed over 49 birds to Matthias Hoep.
Later documents tell us how the shipping of the falcons was done. During the 17th century, a Danish falcon ship went to Iceland annually to transport falcons from Iceland to Copenhagen. The falcons were kept below the deck and sat on poles which were lined with vaðmál. During the journey, the birds were fed with meat of cattle, sheep or birds, dipped in milk, and when they were sick, they were fed with a mix of eggs and (fish) oil. Upon arrival of the birds in Hamburg, Mathias Hoep checked their health and quality and he considered them in good state after they had eaten three times and their feathers were not broken.
Most of the birds that Hoep received were sold to English merchants such as John Mysken who bought 55 birds of prey in 1584 and had them shipped to England, most likely to be sold to the English court. It is likely that Hoep also had good contacts with Icelanders, both in Iceland and in Hamburg. His professional network may have included Magnús Jónsson (c. 1530-1591), who had studied law in Hamburg, probably until 1556. In Iceland he became chieftain and sýslumaður (sheriff) at Þingeyjaþingssýsla and Ísafjarðarsýsla, districts in the North of Iceland with a very high density of falcons. No wonder his seal from the year 1557 shows a gyrfalcon in the centre.
In the second half of the 16th century, king Frederick II of Denmark-Norway (1559-1588) started to regulate the export of falcons to foreign countries. From the 1560s onwards, foreign falcon catchers needed to buy a permission (Icel. fálkabréf, falcon letter) to catch falcons.
Were falcons also caught in Shetland or the Faroes?
We have not found any written evidence for that. The obvious reason for this is that there are not many falcons around in Shetland and the Faroes. Gyrfalcons only appear as vagrant birds, and peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) exist in Shetland only in small numbers. However, it is worth pointing out that in the years 1601 to 1606 one Tonnies Mumme is recorded to have sailed each summer from Hamburg to Shetland. We do not know whether this is the same Tonnies Mumme that is reported as falcon catcher in Iceland in previous years, or whether Tonnies is related to the Augustin and Marcus Mumme mentioned above, but it seems very likely. He may have tried his luck in Shetland, or might have changed his profession and have traded in other items.

When sailing North, beware of swimming cows and Hamburgers. The Carta Marina and the North Atlantic
Bart Holterman, 5 October 2015
For the banner of this blog and our facebook page, we have displayed a section of the famous Carta Marina from 1539. On a first glance of the map, the many marvellous creatures that inhabit the land and the sea immediately catch the eye of the beholder, yet it also provides us with a good overview of the contemporary North Atlantic trade. Time to explore this remarkable document a bit further.
The map was made by Olaus Magnus (1490-1557), the brother of the last catholic bishop of Sweden. He had travelled Scandinavia and the lands around the Baltic Sea extensively before he was sent on a diplomatic mission to Rome by the Swedish king Gustav Vasa. He was never to return home. Dissatisfied by the Reformation in his homeland, Magnus stayed abroad, first in Lübeck and Danzig, later for a long time in Italy, soon joined by his expelled brother Johannes Magnus. In Italy he kept close contacts to learned men of his age, among others cartographers and travellers.
Under influence from these social circles, Magnus decided to transform his own knowledge about Northern Europe onto a map, which would appear in print in Venice in 1539. It was the first large-scale map of Scandinavia to be ever made, and had much influence on European cartography for the next decades. However, because of its high costs, the number of copies remained low. The map itself disappeared off the map of European learning, and was deemed to be lost since the late sixteenth century. Luckily in 1886 an intact copy of the map was discovered in the Bavarian State Library in Munich, and in 1961 another one, which now resides in Uppsala.
An explanation of the map appeared only in 1555 as Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus. In this book, Olaus Magnus described the geography, wildlife, and customs of the people of the North, illustrated with woodcuts. These woodcuts are clearly based on parts of the map, which includes many details about the people of the North, the political situation of the time, and the nature and wildlife. We can see kings sitting on their thrones, armies crossing the frozen Baltic Sea, people hunting seals, the most important towns and cities, lighthouses, whales attacking ships, enormous snakes, swimming cows and other sea monsters.
The map is divided into nine parts, marked A-I. It covers the entire Scandinavian peninsula, the Baltic, Northern Germany and the Netherlands, the entire North Sea and North Atlantic, including the coastline of Britain, the southern tip of Greenland and the mythical island Thule, known from classical geographical works. Of our interest are mainly the sections A and D, covering a large part of the North Atlantic.
Olaus Magnus probably never visited the North Atlantic himself. Instead, he had to rely on the stories and descriptions of others, for example the Northern German traders that told him about Iceland, the Shetlands and the Faroe Islands. Of the Shetlands and Faroes, Magnus must have had few information, as these archipelagos are only schematically drawn. One remarkable detail can be found on the Faroes, though, where we can see a whale being slaughtered on the shore, reminiscing a practice of hunting whales by driving them up the shore which is still practiced today.
For Iceland, Magnus was clearly better informed. The Carta Marina was the first map that drew the island in its more or less actual shape. Moreover, three vulcanoes attest to Magnus's knowledge of the high vulcanic activity on the island. The two episcopal sees, Hólar (Holensis) and Skálholt (Scalholdin), are displayed, as well as the monastery Helgafell (Abbatia Helgfiall), which was famed for its butter production (butirum). The three knights on the eastern part of Iceland should probably be seen as an indication of Danish military presence on the island.
Better than the natural, religious, and political situation, the map attests of the economic situation. Firstly, the main export goods of Iceland are indicated. These are, besides the already mentioned butter: stockfish, sulphur, and falcons. Stockfish was dried cod, highly valued in Europe as a preservable source of protein, and the main trade good of the arctic region. It is shown on a pile on the south coast. Just north of it, three containers of sulphur are depicted. Iceland was one of the few places where pure sulphur could be found. Sulphur, being among others a key ingredient for making gunpowder, was a highly valued substance. Finally, a gyr falcon (falco albus) can be seen on one of the northern peninsulas of Iceland. Gyr falcons are only found in arctic regions, and due to its being the largest and strongest species of falcon, it was highly valued by the nobility for use in falconry.
Apart from the export goods, the realities of the north atlantic trade are displayed in considerable detail on the map. Various trading harbours are indicated, most notably Hafnarfjörður (Hanafiord), where merchants from Hamburg had built a church. We can see ships lying at anchor at these harbours, and three tents at Ostrabord, which probably indicate the temporary booths the merchants set up on the shore and where they displayed their goods on sale during the summer.
The most important countries and cities trading with the island are also indicated. We can see a ship from Bremen at anchor near Ostrabord, an English ship which confused a whale for an island, a ship from Lübeck being attacked by whales, and a Scottish ship under attack by one from Hamburg, indicating the dominance of Hamburg in the North Atlantic trade. It was no exception that competition between merchants from different places led to violent clashes, as in 1523, when the crews of ships from Bremen and Hamburg attacked an English ship in a conflict over the rightful ownership of an amount of stockfish, resulting in casualties among the English.
These elements make the Carta Marina a wonderful visual testimony of the North Atlantic trade in the sixteenth century.

Drunk man has to be dragged home from pub on back of friend's moped
A MAN was so drunk he couldn't sit up on the back of his friends moped while getting a lift home for a heavy drinking session.
In a hilarious video clip that has been shared thousands of times on social media, the man is seen barely attached to a fast moving scooter.
As traffic weaves and dodges around the bike, the man in grey can be seen swaying as his limp body struggles not to hit the ground.
It is lucky his helpful friend thought to put a helmet on the passed-out pal as his head skims just inches from the road at points.
We've all had rough nights – but it's a wonder this man made it home in one piece.
During the video the driver of the moped even looks to be swigging from a bottle at one point.
Perhaps the party isn't over yet?
When the video was shared online many viewers were commenting on which friend the poor alcohol-infused fella reminded them of.
Others were even looking at the clip as inspiration for upcoming holidays to Malia and Ibiza.
The behaviour certainly wouldn't look out of place on the party island of Magaluf – where this week a woman was caught performing a sex act in a packed nightclub.

But you don't even swallow toothpaste, so why would it be a problem even if it did have calories?

I've known some people that actually swallow, toothpaste.

Thats great advice to tell the op! If he says this to her, she might actually brush her teeth
walmartpaysme | 15
13, that's just stupid. There is a warning label that clearly says you should not swallow toothpaste.
CheeseTron | 15
She's obviously not the sharpest knife in the bunch. Maybe she thinks she can absorb the calories.
X_Codes | 11
@43 - I think it's more about what that flouride can do to your digestive tract. Hydroflouric Acid is nasty stuff, but unless you brush your teeth a lot then there's probably not enough flouride to do any kind of significant damage to your bones, particularly if you eat a healthy diet.

I'll make she loses all the calories within one night.

Yeah, OP. You should keep an eye on your daughter... She sounds like she's close to getting an eating disorder :/
micaelareppucci | 6
Definitely watch that.. When I was really sick with my eating disorder, I was afraid to brush my teeth before I weighed myself because I thought I would gain a pound. I really hope that's not the case here though!
letmehavemytea | 21
What they all said ^ I use my toothpaste sparingly because of that Which is bad considering my stomach acid is ruining my teeth a bit
botanistjessica | 24
74: that's disgusting. If you know what you're doing to yourself, why do it?
onlychildFTW | 33
You can't really help disorders.
Meenah_fml | 4
(ugh wrong reply nvm)
letmehavemytea | 21
76- OMG you're totally right! Now that I know what my mental health disorder is doing to my body I can totally make it just disappear! I'll try to remember to just get over my insecurities, paranoia and inability to hold down "normal" sized amounts of food. Sorry did that sound a bit bitchy? I'm just tired of ignorant people. And now. I didn't start out purging.
Srs_business | 7
Tell her that brushing your teeth vigorously burns as many calories as running. That should fix the problem.
domking1315 | 20
I was gonna say "who would fall for that" but then i thought about who we're talking about here

I wish I had thought of telling my sister that.. she'd have probably believed me.... HEY! It'd have been funny, okay?

SPACE movie Gravity and slavery epic 12 Years a Slave were the big winners at the Oscars in a successful night for the British film industry.
Twelve Years a Slave, directed by British filmmaker and former artist Steve McQueen, took the biggest prize, best picture, at the Los Angeles ceremony.
British film Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, won seven awards, including best director for Mexican-born UK resident Alfonso Cuaron and the visual effects prize for its London team.
Loading article content
Twelve Years a Slave took three Academy Awards, including best supporting actress for tearful newcomer Lupita Nyong'o, who told the audience: "It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else's."
Backstage, she said she felt "a little dazed", adding: "This is my first time here and I feel like Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory."
McQueen made history as the first black filmmaker/producer to collect the statuette for best picture and dedicated his award to victims of slavery.
He said: "Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is most important legacy of Solomon Northup. I dedicate this award to all the people who have endured slavery and 21 million people who still suffer slavery today".
The filmmaker jumped for joy on the stage but later joked he was actually "as cool as a cucumber".
He said backstage: "Everyone saw me jump but truly I am so ecstatic. I'm so happy for us all. It's one of those moments in life that might never happen again but you're living it, you're there and it might never happen again so emotions just take over."
He said the film's success was proof times had changed.
He added: "It's the mark of development and how we see that time in history now, the background characters are now in the foreground, their history and lives are being recognised in a way more than ever before. People are ready for this narrative. Before it was quite painful, but now people want to look at that history."
Brad Pitt, who helped produce the film, praised McQueen while Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted his congratulations.
Best actor went to former romantic comedy star Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club, while Cate Blanchett took home best actress for her role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
Blanchett, who beat Bullock, Dame Judi Dench, Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, said films with strong female characters were not niche, adding: "Audiences want to see them and in fact they earn money. The world is round, people."
British film was also celebrated in the award for best documentary short which went to The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life. It came a week after its inspiration, pianist and world's oldest Holocaust survivor, Alice Herz-Sommer, 110, died in London.
Director Malcolm Clarke, who lives in Canada but learned his trade at the BBC and ITV, dedicated the win to her "extraordinary capacity for joy and her amazing capacity for forgiveness".
The technical expertise of the UK film industry was recognised when Gravity picked up awards for sound mixing and sound editing, while the movie also won cinematography, original score and film editing. Original score was won by Steven Price, a musician from Nottingham, who thanked his family, joking: "Mum, dad, Jenny, sorry I made so much noise while I was growing up."
McConaughey's Dallas Buyers Club co-star Jared Leto won best supporting actor for his role as an HIV-positive transgender woman and dedicated his win to the "36 million people who have lost the battle to Aids" .
The best song went to Let It Go from Frozen. Steve Coogan failed to win the best adapted screenplay Oscar for Philomena, with 12 Years A Slave writer John Ridley picking up the prize. The award for best original screenplay went to Spike Jonze for Her.
Host Ellen DeGeneres opened the awards with a string of jokes poking fun at the event, before starring in selfies with stars and even ordering pizzas.

Phishing scams are a plaque on today's Internet. Phishing scams are a form of social engineering that trick people into giving up personal information to fake websites that impersonate legitimate ones. Criminals have used phishing to steal money from people's bank accounts, conduct corporate espionage, as well as break into military systems.
Currently deployed countermeasures to phishing are insufficient. The most widely adopted technique is blacklists, which are maintained by Microsoft, Google and PhishTank (PhishTank is an open community where users both submit and verify phishing sites.) The problem with blacklists today, however, is that they are slow to react to new attacks (since they require human verification) and are easily overcome by phishers (either by targeting very few people so that the phishing site does not get blacklisted or by generating large numbers of URLs per phishing site to overwhelm the blacklists).
Our long-term vision is to develop an Internet Immune System that can detect and respond to phishing attacks far faster and more reliably than we can do today. This system would be comprised of a suite of Internet "sensors" to quick detect new attacks, complemented by a suite of automated techniques and support tools to help coordinate efforts in responding to the attacks. With respect to detection, the sensors might include plug-ins for browsers, email filters, web crawlers, as well as user-submitted data coupled with more sophisticated algorithms for identifying phish. With respect to response, some features might include better and more responsive blacklists, notifying ISPs and web administrators, capturing evidence and providing rationale as to why a site is fake, as well as a per-phish wiki that helps experts coordinate efforts in shutting down fake sites.
A core part of this Internet Immune System, and the part we will focus on in this project, is applying machine learning techniques in novel ways to help improve our ability to automatically detect phishing sites. Specifically, we will a) develop new heuristics that make use of content-based analysis and web topology to detect phishing sites; b) take human-verified blacklist data and apply machine learning techniques to learn characteristics of phishing sites; and c) evaluate the effectiveness of our algorithms by comparing them in lab-based studies, as well as measuring how many of the phishing sites we detect actually end up on blacklists.

On October 4, 2016, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), published a document that revised the regulations governing the management of long-term care facilities. The 700-page document details the reforms that are to be implemented in phases within a period of 3 years and establishes rules on staffing, provision of services and resolution of disputes.
The New Arbitration Rule
One particular rule that that has caught more attention than the rest is the one governing how disputes are to be resolved. Not only will this rule affect more than 15,000 healthcare facilities that are recipients of Medicare and Medicaid funds, but also 1.5 million senior residents residing in them.
Historically, standard procedures require residents to agree to a binding arbitration clause prior to admission to a long-term care facility. This requirement, which consumer advocacy groups refer to as "forced arbitration" obliges residents or their families to settle any dispute with the facility through arbitration instead of litigation. Starting on November 28, 2016, however, facilities will have to modify their admission process in accordance with a DHHS ruling which specifically states that facilities mus not enter into a binding agreement until after the issue arises. The use of pre-dispute binding arbitration agreements is now banned.
As soon as the new regulation takes effect, it will be unlawful for nursing homes to make the signing of an arbitration agreement mandatory for admission. Arbitration can still be considered as a means to settle a dispute when it arises, but on a voluntary basis. In addition, facilities have the responsibility to clearly explain to residents what an arbitration agreement is all about; with the residents acknowledging that they understand it is voluntary.
More to Expect in the Future
In addition to the controversial arbitration rule, the DHHS has put in place other reforms that aim to improve the quality of care provided to senior patients. These are some of the changes you can expect in the coming years.
More personalized care
Residents, together with their families, are enjoined to be involved in creating a care plan that has to be completed within 48 hours from admission. The plan specifies the resident's food and hygiene preferences, health goals and special health care needs, among others. Having such an individualized plan on hand will guide facilities on the path to delivering higher quality care.
More Qualified Staff
Long-term care facilities are mandated to provide more training not only to regular members of the staff but also to contract workers and volunteers. Aside from the necessary medical and care skills, personnel must also be well-acquainted with the residents' rights and how to properly communicate with them.
Better Treatment
It is common practice for some facilities to discharge patients whose Medicaid payments are delayed. This is now prohibited as long as the residents have filled out the necessary paperwork. In the case of a discharge, a notification must be sent to the state ombudsman who can help resolve issues before a transfer is carried out.
Similarly, hospital dumping is no longer allowed. Hospital dumping usually happens to low-income residents whose care costs more than the Medicaid reimbursement that a facility receives. The nursing home first sends them to a hospital for a medical condition and, upon discharge from the hospital, the patient is refused readmission to the facility.

RED Hearts: Wanna Know A Secret?/
RED Hearts are guests posts on I Heart Daily from the authors of RED: Teenage Girls in America Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today. Today's RED Hearts post is from Cammi Henao, 15, reporting from Chicago, IL, who has a secret to tell:
Every Sunday, even if I have absolutely nothing planned, I've got something to look forward to. What is it? PostSecret.
I am a big fan of things that involve people from all over -- especially when it is people from all over sharing experiences and secrets. PostSecret, created by Frank Warren, is a community art project in which people mail their secrets on a postcard. The secrets range from truly heartbreaking ("During previews, I still look to the seat next to me. Even though it's been 10 years. I'm worried I'll never find somebody who fits me as well as you did.") to thoughtful ("Your last mortal thought will be 'why did I take so many days just like today for granted?'") to incredibly sweet ("I am…with someone who is so good for me. He feels like home.").
There is a new batch of secrets posted every Sunday, so every Sunday I sit and read. Some of them make you want to cry for hours, some are funny, and there are many that you can connect with. There are, as far as I know, four PostSecret books out, all of which I own, treasure and love. It's amazing the stories that a few sentences can tell. These are secrets people could have kept for years, just bursting to get out, or simply days, something that they wish to share with the world. The PostSecret community is truly remarkable. I encourage you to check out the site today, this Sunday and every Sunday, and send in your own secret!
RED Hearts guest poster Cammi Henao is an author of RED: Teenage Girls in America Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today which is now out in paperback.

Personal Fitting
What to Expect
What is
Basically, fitting is a simple process of the tailor or seamstress sizing up the garment you will have altered or tailored. A store bought garment may be the size you normally wear, however, it doesn't mean it fits your unique shape. This is where a detailed assessment of the fit of the garment is made by the tailor or seamstress. it is also the time to discuss with your seamstress/tailor what you want or imagine your garment to be like. Measurements made be taken and your garment will be marked or pinned for the best fit in preparation of the alterations to be made. Your requests and the recommendations of the professional are combined to begin the process of tailoring or alterations.
It is important to keep in mind, not all ready to wear garments are the best fit for you. A good tailor or seamstress will talk with you about the fit and what can be done to provide you with the best possible fit. While tailoring and alterations can be made to most attire, the results may not be what you had imagined. There are occasions your seamstress or tailor will let you know the alterations should not be performed and the reason(s) why.
What do I need to do?
. If this is your first experience with a formal fitting, it can bring about a bit of anxiety; after all, you are in an unknown environment with an unknown person in your personal space.
Try to relax.
The tailor or seamstress will provide as comfortable and pleasant an environment as possible.
Clear communication between you and the tailor/seamstress is important to a successful outcome. Before you arrive, try to have clear ideas in mind (or in pictures) of how you want your garment to fit. If you are seeking custom sewn apparel, ideas or images of colors, fabrics and are helpful.
Bring or wear your specialty undergarments.
A well fitted bra, body shapers, and briefs are important to the fit of formal attire. The final fitting will not be satisfactory if the first fit was performed without proper undergarments. If you are fitting from a pattern, clothing that is fit close to the body is best for accurate measurements. If you believe hem work may be involved, try to bring the shoes you will wear with the garment, or something comparable.
Be patient and be on time
. Fittings can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on what services you have requested (including your dressing time). If you need to take a break during a fitting, please let the tailor or seamstress know. Your comfort is important to a successful fitting. Arriving on time is also crucial to the success of your fitting. If you are too early, you may interrupt another person's fitting, and if you are late, this disrupts the schedule of the tailor or seamstress. Overall, patience and timeliness are key to a successful beginning.
read this post on the top ten tips of a formal fitting.
It's more information to help make your fitting the best ever!
What do I bring?
Undergarments for the attire you are having altered or tailored;
Shoes you will wear with the garment (or as close as possible);
Close fit clothing for pattern measurements (If custom sewing is ordered);
Images of the garment or your ideas;
Samples of fabric if possible.
Your schedule or calendar to assist in booking the next fitting.
Remember, this is your personal time to have your gown or suit tailored to fit you! I look forward to serving you and helping you tailor your dreams one stitch at a time!

Cuomo-Hochul: Democratic Leadership that Delivers Real Progressive Change
Unions: Governor Cuomo Has Delivered for Working Families Across New York State
New York, NY – The Grand Marshal of the 2014 NYC Labor Day Parade, Chris Erikson of IBEW Local 3, joined unions from across New York State today to endorse Governor Andrew Cuomo for Governor and former Congresswoman Kathy Hochul for Lieutenant Governor. In making the endorsement, the groups praised the Governor's leadership on protecting worker's rights, increasing the minimum wage and creating jobs throughout the state.
"On behalf of the over 25,000 Amalgamated Transit Union members from around the State, I am proud to support Governor Cuomo and his running mate Kathy Hochul. Governor Cuomo has shown tremendous leadership when it come to transit issues in this State, and I have no doubt that leadership will continue when he is reelected." – John Lyons, President/BA ATU Local 1179, Chairman ATU NYS Legislative Conference
"Governor Cuomo and his running mate Kathy Hochul are committed to making New York work for working people. Governor Cuomo has created hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs and is working to create even more opportunities with strategic public works projects that benefit us all. IBEW is proud to endorse Governor Cuomo and Kathy Hochul as the right choice for labor in the democratic primary." – Chris Erikson, Business Manager of IBEW Local 3 and Grand Marshal of 2014 NYC Labor Day Parade
"Andrew Cuomo is just the type of man we need to lead New York. He respects the rights of New York's working men and women while understanding at the same time that holding the line on taxes and spending makes New York a place where people want to do business, And where there's business combined with an empowered workforce, there's economic development and good jobs. That's what New York State needs." – Bobby Bonanza, Business Manager of the Mason Tenders' District Council
"Governor Cuomo's commitment to hard working men and women makes him the right choice for our union and New York State. His investment in infrastructure spending has created thousands of jobs for our members. We are proud to stand with Governor Cuomo in his campaign for reelection." – Joseph Geiger, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, NYC District Council of Carpenters
"In four years, Governor Andrew Cuomo has worked hard to rebuild New York's infrastructure, from bridges in Buffalo to roads in Brookhaven and everywhere in between, putting Operating Engineers to work.

With a team like Cuomo and Hochul the next 4 years will only be better. For these reasons the New York State Pipe Trades endorse the Cuomo Hochul team." – Mike McNally, President, NYS Pipe Trades
"The New York State Teamsters is proud to endorse Governor Cuomo for reelection. We have seen first-hand how his leadership has given strength to the working people of New York.

In the next term, we look forward to working together to pass the DREAM Act, raise the minimum wage, and bring good jobs to New York." – George Miranda, President of Teamsters Joint Council 16, representing the New York State Teamsters Conference
"We are pleased to join with progressive allies throughout the state in supporting Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul. We look forward to working with the Governor in fulfilling his commitments for a strengthened minimum wage, a state Dream Act, and increased opportunities for good jobs for New Yorkers. Too many working people are hurting in this state and need a governor who knows how to get things done and who will fight for them. We are proud to support the Cuomo-Hochul team." – Stuart Appelbaum, President, RWDSU
"As Governor, Andrew Cuomo has been a true leader on behalf the working men and women of New York State. Local 338 is proud to endorse him, along with his running mate Kathy Hochul, for re-election. His leadership in passing the Compassionate Care Act is a real victory for New Yorkers who are facing real illnesses. He has increased the minimum wage, created jobs throughout New York State and has fought to protect the rights of workers. And in the next four years, he will continue those fights to ensure that New York is a state where workers can live and raise their families." – John Durso, President of RWDSU Local 338
"Governor Cuomo made our decision to endorse him much easier when he publicly supported a minimum wage increase to $10.10. Our members know that raising standards for all New Yorkers is the right thing to do. Kathy Hochul proved to be a strong advocate in Congress for working men and women. We are confident she will continue to fight in Albany to strengthen the middle class and protect workers." – Scott Phillipson, SEIU Local 200United President
"We are proud to endorse Governor Cuomo and his running mate Kathy Hochul, who have a plan and a vision for jobs and the utmost respect for equality and civil and human rights. This entire slate of statewide candidates best meet the needs of UAW members and their families and will stand with working men and women across the great state of New York." – UAW Region 9 Director Terry Dittes
"Governor Cuomo has committed to move a progressive legislative agenda for working families in his next term. We look forward to reelecting the Governor and electing all of our endorsed candidates. We can make New York an even greater and stronger state for working people." – UAW Region 9A Director Julie Kushner
"The leadership of New York State's largest supermarket workers' union, United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1500 have given Governor Cuomo their endorsement to be re-elected as Governor of the State of New York. Throughout his career, Governor Cuomo has been an unwavering supporter of working men and women across our state. Through his policies, Governor Cuomo has shown us he not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. He is a man of action. We live in difficult political times and New Yorkers know the leadership, direction and hope the Governor has given New Yorkers the last four years. In the next four years, Governor Cuomo will continue to lead the way for working men and women. He works hard every day for the average New Yorker and now the 23,000 members of this Union are going to work hard to see that he is re-elected Governor of the State of New York." – Bruch Both, President of UFCW Local 1500
"The Governor has been extremely responsive in job retention efforts to job development opportunities across the state." – John Shin, Region Director USW

Governor Cuomo has restored New York's rightful place as the progressive capital of the nation, showing that government can work and serve all New Yorkers:
- Increased the minimum wage.
- Over the last four years, the Governor has led an unprecedented effort to improve our state's infrastructure and put more New Yorkers to work. The mission of Governor's New York Works Task Force to expedite priority infrastructure projects and streamline procurement methods has been achieved, as the state has experienced significant growth in capital spending, and is committed to spend more than $21 billion on transportation infrastructure projects over the next five years.
- Supports contracts with hospitality workers statewide that will ensure middle class wages and fair employment terms for tens of thousands of employees.
- Supports the DREAM Act that would allow undocumented students who graduate from high school or receive GED's in New York State to receive State financial aid through the Tuition Assistance Program.
- Provided a blueprint for how good jobs can be created at gaming facilities across the state with the passage of Proposal #1, and supported labor peace agreements with potential upstate casino operators to protect the State's proprietary interest.
- Bypassed Republican State Senate opposition to implement universal healthcare more effectively than nearly every other state in the nation. To date New York State's health exchange has signed up over a million New Yorkers for high quality, low cost health insurance.
- Secured an $8 billion federal waiver to support struggling hospitals in Brooklyn and other communities as well as increase access and improve the quality of healthcare for New Yorkers.
- Enacted structural reform of Medicaid through an innovative Medicaid Redesign Team to improve patient care, while saving billions of dollars that can be reinvested into services for New Yorkers.

Thank you for responding to my message.
Amanda was indeed married. Her husband was Joseph H Masters. He moved to the Springfield Ohio area by 1920 and he died there.I just got back from vacation in Ohio and I was able to go to the cemetery where he is buried. He unfortunately has no stone, yet I found his son is buried there and he does have a stone. Amanda is not buried there. As I know she was in 1900 census in Ohio and not in 1910 census in Jackson Twp Jackson County Indiana. So she died somewhere in between.

As you may have heard, I'm no longer with @FoxNews. I value your support and friendship so please stay in touch: https://t.co/R7JBTsvYSh
— Gretchen Carlson (@GretchenCarlson) July 6, 2016
Prior to getting fired from Fox on June 23, Carlson was the host of The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson and a former co-host of Fox & Friends.

Carlson issued a statement in the lawsuit.
"I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career," Carlson said. "Although this was a difficult step to take, I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women and the next generation of women in the workplace. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments at Fox News and for keeping our loyal viewers engaged and informed on events and news topics of the day."

Papers filed by her lawyers at Smith Mullin P.C. make allegations about Ailes, who has not yet released any comment on the lawsuit. The complaint, which was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, claims Ailes made "sexually-charged comments … ranging from lewd innuendo, ogling and remarks about Ms. Carlson's body to demands for sex as a way for her to improve her job standing."
The lawsuit claims that last September, Ailes told her, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better." According to Carlson's lawyers, Ailes also told her that "sometimes problems are easier to solve that way."

The suit also alleges Ailes made "sexist comments" about Carlson in public and said he declared publicly that "he had slept with three former Miss Americas, but not with her."
According to the suit, Carlson's firing was directly related to these alleged, wrongful actions made by Ailes.
"The evidence will show that Ailes deliberately sabotaged the career of a talented, hard-working journalist and loyal Fox News employee. Opposing sexism and rejecting unwanted sexual come-ons should never cost a woman her job or subject her to disparagement and emotional anguish," said Martin Hyman, a partner in the firm of Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP, serving as co-counsel for Carlson.

The feminine uprising in Saudi corporate life!
Back in the eighties, when a female cousin of mine decided to delve into the exclusive corporate world here in Saudi as a manager of a high-profile confectionary factory, she had to do it remotely through a fax machine, teleconferencing and a side-kick male manager physically acting on her behalf! Today however, a different story is being told!
6 months ago, a sales-rep came back from a sales-call with sheer astonishment frozen on his face! He was in an all-female investment wallets company; jam-packed in the middle of a conference room with a female GM, financial manager & a bunch of other female employees as he was demonstrating our services. (a prize awaits he who correctly guess if he made the sale?)
Until then I couldn't have thought of a situation where a male in Saudi is outnumbered by females except for the poor lingerie shop salesman! Which by the way, the ministry of labor has recently passed a law making it mandatory to higher Saudi females for this job.
The corporate life here in Saudi was until recently a male dominant one, and I mean literarily dominant! From executive secretaries, sweet-talking beautiful-from-far far-from-beauitiful sales personnel to the –usually good-looking female- receptionist, it was a man's world, exclusively yours…
Something that was rather musing to me when I was delegated to our sister company's project back in late 2004, as the summer season-feel crept into our company, our female colleagues -with their lack of professional tentativeness- thought it was ok to wear almost beach-side swimsuit cover-ups to work!
Or is it that they thought the workplace was yet another yippi-yay venue for socializing? I'm still mystified, but with the lack of a regulating-directive or an underlying code of practice (if not a total overlooking encouragement for unprofessional and essentially revealing dress-code), our company back home was already an uncomfortable place to be at.
So with such a corrupted & emotionally-charged psyche, I found Saudi a haven for deluded professionals (ehm…) like my humble self who are focused on being productive with their work with less seductive distractions! But who was that sweet-talking half-covered-with-Abaya sales rep who just marched into our eastern province branch few months back?
She was a sales rep from a local bank selling credit-cards! For the love of God, skipping everything a female professional can do, why did this Saudi woman decide to pick (or was she picked?) such a typical physique-centric job when the job market was opened for the female workforce?
I've met many professional working women, who deserve the capacity they're filling, who understand the dynamics of the work place, how unprofessional & unproductive it is not to stick with a professional attire, and this was a disclaimer & a message to my x- female colleagues… back to the subject in hand!
The other day, a Saudi colleague of mine was sweating as he was about to make a phone call! The business card of the contact person he was calling was for a Saudi woman! But he never dealt with a non-relative (non-relative! Perhaps he only dealt with his mother, sisters aunts & wife(s)) women before as it seems, perhaps the closest of such experience is when dealing with a female nurse at a private hospital or a flaringly gay-looking Filipino McD cashier!
He was struggling to replace the common (must also add: useless) chattery & flattery lines between male counterparts as it was definitely not fit when addressed to a woman, but he improved by the day, yet the symptoms of near heart-attack experience is still there!
I'm not fond of unnecessary mixed environments (gender-ly mixed that is), yet the segregation between genders at all levels here in Saudi have resulted in far more intrinsic social issues that are potentially chronic than it actually protected the society from any anticipated vice!
Another extract from this emerging phenomena is that some companies have started hiring females by department! For instance, you'll find the whole of a graphic-design department at a marketing agency we deal with; comprised of a female workforce encapsulated in a private section, an interesting concept for sure, definitely practical during this transitional period of Saudi corporate culture.
I believe in a rare opportunity here in Saudi to start something new, to set the record straight and properly regulate the work environment and professional distribution of roles that will facilitate both for men & women the proper jobs in the proper surrounding to achieve utmost productivity and reduce the unhealthy aspects of mixed workplaces!
To the credit of some of the Saudi working women I met, I saw sheer sincerity and seriousness towards their work, in contrast to the infectious attitude of the many female colleagues of mine back home who valued their payroll in terms of Kinda, perfect-nail, TONY&GUY and the ability to go for therapeutic casual shopping at Mecca Mall!
It seems that the urge to prove one's self in a dominantly male society have created a professional culture among the Saudi women pursuing their careers, and many seem to have excelled as well!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England, many families of which have been established in Ireland since at least the 17th century.
Leas Early Origins
Connacht (Irish: Connachta, (land of the) descendants of Conn), where they were prominent in the west being anciently associated as hereditary physicians to the O'Flahertys. The McLees or McAlees were traditionally doctors or physicians. By the 16th century different branches had developed in Galway, in Leix, and in Munster at Cork and Limerick. The name in Gaelic was O'Laidhigh.
Leas Spelling Variations
Leas Spelling Variations
Just like the English language, the Gaelic language of Ireland was not standardized in the Middle Ages. Therefore, one's name was often recorded under several different spellings during the life of its bearer. Spelling variations revealed in the search for the origins of the Leas family name include McAlea, McAlee, MacAlee, MacAlea, MacLee, McLee, MacLees, McLees, MacLeas, McLeas, O'Lees, O'Leas, Lee and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Ireland became inhospitable for many native Irish families in the 19th centuries. Poverty, lack of opportunities, high rents, and discrimination forced thousands to leave the island for North America. The largest exodus of Irish settlers occurred with the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. For these immigrants the journey to British North America and the United States was long and dangerous and many did not live to see the shores of those new lands. Those who did make it were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest and most powerful nations of the world. These Irish immigrants were not only important for peopling the new settlements and cities, they also provided the manpower needed for the many industrial and agricultural projects so essential to these growing nations. Immigration and passenger lists have documented the arrival of various people bearing the name Leas to North America:
Leas Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Leas Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Contemporary Notables of the name Leas (post 1700)
Contemporary Notables of the name Leas (post 1700)
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fide et fortitudine
Motto Translation: By fidelity and fortitude.

3,584 Views | 2:24 | Uploaded on Oct 07, 2016
In the second official trailer for Underworld: Blood Wars, war has been waged between Vampires and Lycans for centuries and now a new war has begun. The fight is personal for Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she has lost all the ones she loved. This time the Lycans have a new leader and he wants the blood of Selene and her daughter. The vampires are also on the hunt for Selene as her blood will make them invincible. David (Theo James) asks his father Thomas (Charles Dance) to help her.
We see that Selene is told that if she wants to win the war, she has to go where no warrior has ever ventured before. This new test gives Selene extraordinary powers.

A Vietnamese bishop has strongly condemned the initiation of a "sorrowful" project to convert a monastery in the Diocese of Vinh Long into a public square.
Bishop Thomas Nguyen Van Tan of Vinh Long, in an Oct. 28 letter to the priests, religious and laity of his diocese, said that the local government had aggressively started the project despite the ongoing protest of the diocese and the Congregation of St. Paul of Chartres, the monastery's former occupants.
The bishop said that local authorities had not informed him of the decision, which he learned from reading the newspaper, Fr. J.B. An Dang tells CNA.
The action is "so embittering" for Catholics, the bishop continued.
"It's so sorrowful to see a place for worshiping God, for praying to Him, for spiritual training, and for providing charity services being converted into a place for entertainment."
He added that he also felt disgust at seeing the Catholic cemetery of the diocese illegally seized and demolished for a public park.
Bishop Thomas Nguyen said the incident is part of the ongoing injustice his diocese has suffered since the "disastrous day" of Sept. 7, 1977. On that date the local authorities used the armed forces to blockade and raid the cathedral, the major seminary and the Holy Cross College of Vinh Long. Authorities arrested all the leaders of the institutions, including Bishop Nguyen Van Tan himself.
The bishop reported that all leading clergy had to leave the institutions.
"Few were imprisoned. Others were transferred to other places," he said, charging that local authorities had falsely denounced them of "training youth to be an anti-revolution force to oppose the liberation of the country."
The Vietnamese government reportedly told religious leaders that it would grant land-use rights if they asked, but the bishop thought this was impossible as long as the government considered the religious to be criminals.
Bishop Thomas Nguyen asked the faithful to pray more intensely for holy souls and for the end of the injustices that the diocese has suffered.

text: I was hoping to sync up my new copy (actual physical!) of Black 2 with my ROM's save of Black, but I'm running into an issue... Back when B/W(1) were being translated, and I was meandering cluelessly through the moonspeak menus, I attempted to connect to the Global Link with my copy of Black, and got a Game Sync ID code. However, I had no idea how to navigate the Japanese Global Link site, and as a result, decided to just wait. Then Black 2 came around, and while I really never cared about the Dream World or anything like that enough to pursue it further, I would like the Memory Link to reference it. So I made an account on the US version of the Global Link, and... it won't let me connect, because even though I've been using a real US ROM of Black, when the game sync ID was made, it was a Japanese copy. Since I never connected that Game Sync ID to a username on the Global Link, I feel like I should be able to delete it, and then using a US ROM, make a US version of my ID... But I have no idea how to go about this. I've considered backing up my save, deleting it, then readding my save's info, but for some reason the PokeSAV B/W codes I make don't work; they either freeze my game (probably due to being too big) or simply don't work when I push L and R like they should. Even then, PokeSAV B/W doesn't edit things like badges and E4 status, which are necessary for certain Memory Link events... So what I really need to know is, is there any way at all to get rid of that Game Sync ID and try again with a US version, either through save file editing or something in-game, or anything?
