The successful treatment of anal cancer requires your participation. Here are answers to some important questions.
Do you have control over your health and wellness?
Many people believe they have no control over their health and wellness. Many ignore personal health decisions or simply leave them to their doctors, relatives, or friends. In reality, you have the greatest potential to determine your relative health.
How is this possible? Do people really have control of their own health? The biggest killers are heart disease and cancer. Although many of these diseases seem to strike at random, our lifestyle choices greatly influence personal risk.
How can you participate in your health care?
To participate you must:
- Learn to take responsibility for your own health.
- Learn to partner with your doctor.
- Learn how to make active decisions about your health.
How can you learn what you need to know?
- Educate yourself.
- Be skeptical: Learn to separate fact from fiction.
- Billions of dollars are spent each year marketing dietary supplements, vitamins, and new medical treatments. Much of this is unnecessary and wasteful.
- Be careful about where you get your health information.
- Some of the best sources for health information on the web are professional societies and non-profit organizations.
- Ask your doctor what he or she recommends.
- Examine the credentials of the authors.
- If you are reading about symptoms and disease, your best source is a licensed physician.
- Pay attention to when the content was last updated.
- Make sure the person is not just trying to sell you something.
Important questions you need to answer:
- What things in your control can increase your risk for disease?
- What can you do to decrease this risk?
- What are vaccines and how can they help you?
- How do your lifestyle choices increase your risk for disease?
- How can you reduce stress?
- What minor health problems can you treat at home?
- When is a medical problem "serious"?
- When should you call the doctor?
How can you find the right doctor?
Key points:
- Everyone should have a primary care physician or family doctor. A primary physician is usually a family practitioner, internist, or pediatrician.
- Establish a relationship in advance with your doctor.
- Make sure you are comfortable with your primary care physician.
- The internet contains many resources where you can do research to locate the doctor that is best for you.
- You may wish to schedule a brief visit with the doctor to see if he or she is right for you.
- Be open-minded, and allow your doctor to know you well. This will improve communication.
Important information you need to make your decision:
- Physician credentials:
- Internship and residency training is usually best from respected institutions, universities, and major hospitals.
- Look for board certification in the specialty.
- Ask about membership in medical societies.
- Community and professional reputation are also important.
- Are other patients happy with the doctor?
- Has the doctor been disciplined by hospitals or agencies?
- How long has the doctor been in practice?
- In general, more than a few malpractice suits over a 5-10 year period should trigger caution.
- Does the doctor communicate well? Are your questions answered during busy times?
- Does the doctor welcome you to help make decisions about your care?
- Is the doctor available when you need care?
- What is the doctor's after-hours coverage?
- Is he or she a member of a large group?
- Do the doctors' cross-cover one another?
- Where do they admit patients?
What is shared decision making?
You and your doctor must work together to jointly decide the best course of action to manage your health. This process is called "shared decision making". Your doctor becomes a guide and teacher and helps steer you toward the best treatment. Most doctors welcome this partnership. You must learn about your illnesses for shared decision-making to work.
For any recommended test, medication, or surgery, remember to ask:
- How will this help me?
- How much will it cost?
- Is it covered by your insurance?
- What are the potential side effects and risks?
- What are my alternatives?
For tests, remember to ask:
- Is it done in the office or at another facility?
- Is it painful?
- How will the results of this test influence my care?
For surgery or other procedures, remember to ask:
- How long will it take to heal?
- How many cases has the doctor done?
- What would your doctor do if he or she were the patient?
- Where is it done?
- Who will perform it?
- What are the doctor's qualifications?
What should you expect?
Shared decision making becomes impossible if you do not know what to expect from your doctor.
The American Hospital Association has published a "Patient's Bill of Rights" that is a good guide. It states that you have the right:
- To be spoken to in words that you understand
- To be told what's wrong with you
- To know the benefits of any treatment and any alternatives
- To know what a treatment or test will cost
- To share in treatment decisions
- To read your medical record
- To refuse any medical procedure
What should you do before an office visit?
- Bring all important medical information with you to the visit.
- Make sure you can answer questions about the following:
- Allergies and side effects to medicines
- Current medicines you are taking. This includes herbs and vitamins. Make a list if necessary.
- Insurance information
- Marital and sexual history
- Past injuries and hospital stays
- Past medical problems
- Past surgeries and operations
- Pre-visit questionnaires
- Use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs
- Work history
What should you expect from the visit?
- You should plan to wait if you go without an appointment. Emergencies or sick patients in the hospital may interrupt your doctor.
- Bring along a book or toys for the kids. You may also have to wait during busy times.
- Tell your doctor about your problem in a clear manner. Start from the beginning and go through each symptom as it appeared.
- Before the visit, think about what makes your problem better or worse. Your doctor will probably ask you questions about this.
- Most doctors ask many questions about unrelated symptoms. These questions help assure that there are no other problems that need attention.
- Be sure to answer all questions truthfully. This includes sensitive questions about smoking, drug use, sexual activity, and work. Your history is the most important part of deciding what is wrong with you.
- If you have any difficulty communicating your concerns, bring a family member or friend to assist in this task.
- Talk to your doctor and do not leave the office without asking necessary questions. Your doctor can make you more comfortable if he or she understands your concerns.
What should you know about your medications?
Every year many people become ill because of problems with medications.
Remember to ask:
- What side effects to expect.
- What drug interactions are possible.
- Find out if a new medicine reacts with those that you are taking now.
- Many over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements can also cause serious side effects.
- Some drugs interact with certain foods, vitamins, nicotine, and alcohol.
- Make sure you can drive or operate machines safely while taking a medicine.
- Ask your doctor how much a prescription costs.
- Is there a less expensive option or a generic version?
What is a treatment plan?
A treatment plan is what you and your doctor decide to do for an illness. A treatment plan cannot be effective without your participation.
Three simple questions can help you get the most from your treatment plan:
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do these things?
Other important points:
- Be sure you understand your treatment plan.
- Stick with the treatment plan and allow time for improvement.
- Don't stop medicines when you feel better; check with your doctor first.
- Call your doctor if your condition is becoming worse.
- Your doctor should tell you what to expect and when to follow-up or call the office.

Gintani C63 AMG M156 V8 Header Back Exhaust Development + DynosGintani is wrapping up development of their C63 AMG exhaust. After the final round of testing the car was flashed back to stock and here we have a dyno of the car from the baseline stock to with the exhaust and tune. Stock the car put down 360 whp and with the exhaust alone on 91 octane the car put out 402.0 whp. A very, very nice gain with exhaust alone. Expect pricing information to come shortly.

The early bird may catch the worm, but he also catches a beat down from all those dozens of other birds looking for the easiest way to satisfy their stomachs: Option B
"Better late than never." It's a common saying used often to ease the neurotic. Wise yet humorous, the catch phrase is a perfect line used for covering up someone's consequential delay. We here at Gaming Target must too borrow the oft-recycled saying for our final attempt at creating some kind of Game of the Year awards for the passed year. 2004 was so big on games, we're still trying to catch up on them. Unfortunately, the annual award's session we usually hold had seen prolonged complications that led us toward planning a second shot in a Valentine's Day Love/Hate special. When we couldn't bring you that feature either, we pieced together our one and final option that we could compile at the last minute. So here we are, Sony Target's own Chris Reiter and Adam Woolcott, expressing our thoughts on the winning games of 2004 in a feature we like to call Late and Loving It: Option C.
Best Adventure Game of 2004?
Chris: Was
action or adventure?
Adam: A little of both I guess.
Chris: It had both genres headlined, but that's just more confusing than it is leading really.
Adam: Heh, the line is blurred these days.
Chris: Well anyway, I think it was an adventure title. Other than that, I can't really remember anything else that was an "adventure" game other than maybe
Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
Although, it's hard to figure what's "adventure" these days unless you're playing a Zelda game. But even those are thought to be RPGs by most people.
Adam: Yeah, I always think of games like Tomb Raider as adventure games, but there's not much like that anymore. I guess GTA and Metal Gear could be called adventure games though.
Chris: The Metal Gear, or Metal Gear Solid series (as the ones that I started playing) have always been stealth games to me. But, those are actually known as "stealth-action"...so, you figure they're stealth games with action involved in them. You know -- kicking, punching, shooting, and sneaking all rolled into one. Oh, and all the etceteras not mentioned too.
Adam: Uh huh. There are far too few adventure games nowadays, the true ones. Perhaps there will be a revival one day, until then, this is a hard category to call.
Chris: Well, out of the few known "adventure" games, I'll just make my quick pick: Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude. LifeLine was unique and all, but shouting was damn annoying at times. Plus, Rio never got naked like Larry's lovelies did.
Adam: Thankfully, or your infamous Lifeline review would be all the more disturbing.
Chris: My LifeLine review is a treasured asset to the site.
Adam: Sure, sure. Let's get to the next category, you freak.
Chris: What's your pick for adventure then?
Adam: I'm abstaining simply because I have no idea.
Chris: You heard it here first pervs: boobs rules all in 2004!
Best Action Game of 2004?
Adam: Well, I gave
GTA: San Andreas
a 10, so this one is pretty simple. However,
Metal Gear Solid 3
is right behind it.
Chris: I was disappointed in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Those are just my initial impressions, however. I mean, I rarely played the game thus far.
Adam: I played all the way through San Andreas and all the way through MGS3. You = owned. Me = exhausted.
Chris: It's not just the time thing, though. When I was cast into the new GTA world, I just wasn't as drawn into it as I was with previous games in the series. Turning to the chat station was one of the first things I did, as "those" are usually my favorite things to listen to while I'm driving. If I'm not laughing, I'm not loving it.
Unfortunately, the new chat station was cut short with decent, but hardly effective material. The comedy present was a number of short-lived shows that didn't reach that level of funny you'd expect, because every episodic content used wasn't long enough to get the comedy through enough.
Adam: The radio is probably the weakest aspect -- I'm looking to get the Xbox version later this year merely to put in my own soundtrack. Though the Axl Rose sighting was nice. Otherwise...three cities full of stuff to do, massive countryside, weird humor -- these things are what drew me to the game. Plus, once you get past the initial 'gangsta' story, it opens up into a casino-hitting, crazy-bitch tolerating, revenge-getting epic.
Though admittedly, GTA's story doesn't touch the greatness of MGS3's own -- with crazy twists, memorable characters (save the extremely weak bosses that have almost no backstory), and great stealth/action gameplay. I still don't know if I like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater or Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty more.
Chris: Most of the other stations in San Andreas were mainly rap, a couple of genres I'm not really interested in (like country or reggae), and then the one rock station that had a couple familiar songs. Most songs I couldn't name the bands of. The early 90's I remember better for other material that wasn't used in the game, as in the same way Rockstar had crammed Vice City with 80's beats from almost any artist or song you could recognize right off the bat.
I definitely loved Metal Gear Solid 2 more than I did the third one. Each of the cobras in MGS3 could be defeated easily. The boss fights are supposed to be the strongest element of any Metal Gear Solid game, and yet these guys could be killed off without much fuss.
Adam: Well moving from the big hitters, I want to recognize some of the underdogs of this year, such as
The Suffering
. Both from Midway, ironically. Neither were big sellers or anything like that, but both were creative entries into the action game genre that tried something different -- Psi-Ops for its unique psi-powers, and The Suffering for its bizarre story.
Chris: Having played the demo of Psi-Ops, I have to agree that this was a pretty interesting game. I liked how you could do so much with so little -- just using your mind powers that is.
Adam: You haven't lived until you make enemies kill themselves by taking control of their minds.
Chris: And you haven't lived until you've seen Barbara Jo have her naked cloned sister appear from out of nowhere, where both sisters simultaneously screw Larry at the same time.
Adam: Pervert. What category is next, sicko?
Chris: Next is fighting. But first, to sum up our action corner: Metal Gear Solid 3 was my favorite action title of the year, for its beautiful cinema, some classic bosses (even though some of them were cheap), its amazing graphics and sound design, and its innovative new stealth techniques and original survival influences.
Best Fighting Game of 2004?
Chris: I haven't played a single fighting game in 2004. But the word of the day is HOOZAH! The "cover-up" word of the day that is...
Adam: There was no Tekken, no Virtua Fighter, no Soul Calibur. What we're left with is...
Mortal Kombat
On second thought,
Midway Arcade Treasures 2
has Mortal Kombat II. So that.
Chris: I played the demo of the new Mortal Kombat game. I've seen that game getting some pretty high scores. What I've played of the demo, however, left me with the impression that the controls were sloppily done with jerky movement.
Adam: The best part of Deception is Puzzle Kombat. That says a lot about the mediocrity of the actual fighting game.
Dead or Alive Ultimate
, as tacky as it might be, is a deep fighter with some damn nice graphics and online play...though it's not much more than DOA2 with a fresh coat of paint. We needed Tekken 5 this year, otherwise fighters have been a wash.
Chris: With me, the fighting genre these years is almost always a wash.
Adam: Sounds like me and adventure games.
Chris: And me and sports games.
Adam: So what's next?
RPG Game of 2004?
Adam: Uh, I played a ton of 'em this year, and I will settle on
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
. The original came out in the shadow of Final Fantasy X, so it never got a chance. Covenant on the other hand, has a goofy yet somber story, memorable and amusing characters, a battle system that nobody else has gotten around to stealing yet, and some of the best CG in the business (rivaling Square at times). There are many other great RPG releases in 2004, such as
Tales of Symphonia
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Star Ocean 3
, and
Baten Kaitos
, but Shadow Hearts really blew me away by how polished and incredibly epic it is.
Chris: For me, the decision is a bit tough. I was looking forward to
ever since I knew it as Project Ego. However, Fable obviously lacked somewhat in certain departments (i.e., it got to be a bit easy and was a bit on the short side). The story wasn't as epic as it could've been. The graphics were tremendous like I'd hoped they'd be, but had some glaring flaws (the ground would turn into green goop often). There were a few other gripes (like the sex scenes not being what you'd expect), but I don't want to go into much detail about that.
Adam: I didn't like Fable much at all. I got bored of the game pretty fast due to the dull world and meh characters. Same goes for
Star Wars: KOTOR II
, which had the great battle system but didn't carry the appeal of the first game.
Chris: Between
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
and my third and final "RPG favorite," I think I'd go with Star Ocean: Till the End of Time as my final choice. Out of the three games, its world was the one overflowing with the greatest storyline, a definitive battle system, and some interesting side stuff and characters.
Paper Mario was very unique, but I think Star Ocean being the more "epic" of the two pushes that over the edge for me.
Adam: Star Ocean suffers from one of the poor plot twists in a while which knocks it down a bit personally. It's a great game but it's still got some work to be done.
Chris: Unfortunately, I can only base my opinion of Star Ocean 3 of around 30 hours into the game, while with Fable and Paper Mario I both completed. Yeah, it's a bias pick, but release me of all these other games taking up my time, and I figure it'd be my choice in the end anyway.
Adam: Go you. Next up?
Platform Game of 2004?
Jak 3
. Nuff said.
Chris: Jak 3. You knew I was going to say that.
Adam: That was easy.
Chris: But, we should give some credit to games like
Ratchet and Clank 3
Tak 2
, and even the newest
Crash Bandicoot
. For, if not these games fared worser, Jak 3 wouldn't fare better.
Adam: Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal as well, though it's more of an action game than a platformer...but then, even Jak 3 isn't all-platform all the time.
Sly 2
I have not played yet, but I did enjoy the first. But Jak 3 is definitely a great game and wraps the trilogy up nicely.
Chris: I watched Sly 2 being played by our very own Matt Swider at last year's E3, which counts for something. I just want to say that it looked like an interesting game. But having played the first one I thought it was a decent platform entry for its first time, though not a "great" one, if you know what I mean.
Jak 3, on the other hand, did wrap up the series nicely. However, the game could've been longer.
Adam: It is what it is, and that's the best platformer this year.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
Sports Game of 2004?
Adam: LOL...am I alone here?
Chris: I bought
Mario Power Tennis
. I haven't played it yet, but that's got to count for something.
Adam: It counts that you're crazy. Anyway, since I'm the one who actually plays the sports games, I will go with
. Now that EA has gamed out the NFL and there's no more NFL games other than Madden, it takes on more importance. It came out at $30 less than EA, had support for the oft-ignored HDD, and was a great looking game. Plus...it's actually fun! But, only if NBA Street 3 came out last year and not this year...
Chris: While I'm not a sports fanatic, I can at least relate with hardcore fans of the genre on the subject of EA's arrogant move to dominate the genre. I've never really been a fan of EA's. Their games and their methods of making games hardly influenced my buying decisions. I just can't see why or how so many people gave EA so much money just so that same company could crap on them years later.
Adam: EA was threatened by Sega, and EA took the easy way out. Not many other ways to slice it.
Chris: If EA were a real game company, they wouldn't let gamers suffer. EA's just a black-hearted business, not a game company.
Adam: Well, most of the hardcore gamers don't look to EA as anything other than an occasional diversion, so there's not a lot to worry about. They haven't proven they can compete in the genres that aren't sports or racing, anyway. So yeah...what do we get to argue about next?
Extreme Sports Game of 2004?
Adam: They still make those?
Chris: There was
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
. I can't think of anything besides that one.
Adam: The last one I played was THUG and it wasn't very good. Talk about a genre that died as fast as it rose.
Chris: Yeah, I was disappointed with THUG myself. It wasn't that it was a bad game, but it just seemed like Neversoft didn't do a whole lot to really upgrade the already established skating genre. If they're trying to add story to a skating game, don't make it suck.
I created a girl character like I always do (girls rules). But, I was called "dude" in the entire game, which is really weird. Not that you can expect much quality from a story from a skateboarding game anyway.
Adam: So, I have an idea. Let's give Tony Hawk a lifetime achievement award, since no game in the genre deserves an award.

Talk:World Archives Project: California Railroad Employment Records, 1862-1950
- 1 Extra Keying Helps
- 2 Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers
- 3 Questions and Answers
- 4 Keying Sample
Extra Keying Helps
Old 1860's Employment Records that show signatures
This 1864 file has signatures on some of the men on the right hand side of the document. It is acceptable to use a signature when a name on the left such as Wm is signed William. If it is signed by someone else, you may want to use the name on the left side. But the ones that are actually signed by the person should be correct, as they mostly know how to sign their names. Wiedwoman 23:05, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers
Please remember to:
- Replace "&" with the word "and".
- Key the occupations.
- Payroll period 1-15 is keyed as the 15. Please key only the last date of the two dates given.
- Please do not key periods after initials, abbreviations and in the occupation field.
Payroll Examiner
Do not list the payroll examiners name listed at the bottom of the payroll forms. -- Wiedwoman 00:54, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Payroll pages that are Receipts
These should be keyed as a payroll page.
Example of reviewed errors
Time and Payroll Sheet: Some pages contain two Time and Payroll Sheets, one on top and the other on the bottom of the screen. Often one or the other is being overlooked. Please scroll the full length of the screen so you won't miss any names.

General, Choice of Form Type, and What Records to Key and Not Key
Q: When you have an image with two different payroll forms (one below the other) do you key payroll 1 as Section 1 and payroll 2 as Section 2?
- A: No they should all be keyed on section 1. -- Wiedwoman 23:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: I have a Pay Roll page with the heading "Deductions". There are some actual names in the name column but no occupations are listed. The dollar amounts are in the Balance Due column. Should these names be keyed?
- A: As far as I'm aware, these pages are to be marked as cover pages and do not key the names. --Pgift1977 04:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: On the record I just came accross on the first line 1 it states: B&B Gang #24 cout'd and on the line 2 is where the names start and so on. Do I need to key in "B&B Gang #24 Cout'd" on line 1? or Do I skip that and start typing the names on line 1? Or do I mark line 1 as blank and skip to line 2 and start typing the name? Is this title "B&B Gang #24 Cout'd" even necessary? What about when titles like "B&B Gang #24 Cout'd" appear in the middle of page? Are those marked as blank? Or as they skipped and ignored and the keying of names just continues? Or do I need to type "B&B Gang #24 Cout'd" as well when it appears in the middle of the page? Please explain. Thank you, Sal --Saulo4fun 18:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- A: Just begin typing the names as they are listed on the page. The first name you come to will be the first to be keyed. Since there is no header information being taken at this time, you don't need to worry about the "B&B Gang" information. Just capture the date and names. --Pgift1977 18:22, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: What about the numbering on the page? Do I skip line 1 and go to line 2? Since "B&B Gang #24 Cout'd" was listed on line 1 I just want to make sure. Because if I go based as how it's listed on the page, that means that i have to put the first name on record 2 right? I just want to make sure I'm doing this correct. Because if I'm just typing the names that means i'm disregarding the numbering on the page right? Please let me know! Thanks!!! --Salvatore Dikassir 20:50, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- A: Skip the line on the page that does not have keyable information. So in your case the line 2 will be record 1. -- Wiedwoman 20:58, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: Ok just want to clarify. I will skip line 1, so that means I will have to click on Cotrol+Shift+B to blank out record 1 and start typing the name on record 2 correct? --Salvatore Dikassir 21:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- A: do not have blank lines in your records. No control+shift+B 'Ing. It is not necessary to have any blank records --. Wiedwoman 21:32, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
-Awesome, thanks a great deal for clarifying that. I've been doing it wrong and I'm glad that I will be able to do it the right way now. You're the best! --Salvatore Dikassir 22:10, 23 August 2012 (UTC) No worries. Blank lines can be deleted easily. -- Karen
Q: If names are listed under a section number, do we need to key in blank entries for that line so that the record numbers for names correspond in the image and in the entries or do we continue to key names as if the "SECTION #" line isn't present on the image?
- A: Do not key blank entries. Skip the section number lines. -- Wiedwoman 04:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Q: If the additional record number does not match the row number in the image, should we key names in the order of the record numbers?
- A: No. Key names in the order that they appear on the page. -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: On images like this do you want the duplicate lines keyed? On some images they will show a person on two lines with different occupations. I know those should be keyed if they show different occupations. But these are showing same occupations.
- A: From Anna: Key just once per page. We don't need them multiple times." June 30, 2010 -- Wiedwoman 12:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- But if there are duplicate names with a different payroll date, I think these should be keyed. -- Wiedwoman 21:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: I have a form that says "Recapitulation" at the top. Then, in the name column, there are what appear to be the names of locations. Examples: Artesia, Brea, Compton, etc. There is nothing in the occupation column. How should I key it? -Sarah
- A: Unlike the previous version of this project, there is no header to key, so if there are no actual names to key on a page (such as for a page of business names, section names, or locations), change the form type to "Cover Page, Section Header, etc." -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: I was reading when there are blank lines between information we are to ignore those? An example would be when there is a title on the first line before the names and occupations occur. I just want to confirm that this is correct. Unless I am missing something, I have reread the instructions for this project and cannot find anywhere where this is discussed.
- A: Ignore blank lines, but use the occupations for the lines following it. -- Wiedwoman 23:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Q: If a red line is drawn through someone's name are they to be entered?
- A: If a name is crossed out and not replaced we are to key the name. This is in the general keying guidelines. -- Wiedwoman 23:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Q: How do you key payroll pages that include businesses, list of deductions, and recapitulation?
- A: Do not key business names. Classify as a "Cover page, Section Header, etc." -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: The data sets that I have been entering are two sheets for one data page. They are arranged on the screen one above the other. So far, they have all been the same so entering data was no problem. I have run into a page where the two sheets would be classified as different form types. The top portion is "Cover Page, Section Header, etc." but the bottom section has names to be keyed. Do I just ignore the top portion and key it in as if there were names on both parts?
- A: Key this page as a Name and Date form. --Paulmd199 06:11, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: On a payroll sheet, I have several employees listed as "furloughed for war service" each with different dates, no occupations. Do I key them?
- A: Yes, they should be keyed. Is there a date at the top of the page? If so, use that date. -- Wiedwoman 20:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Record Date
Q: How do I key a payroll day that is listed on the document as "1st Period"?
- A: Day will be left blank. -- Wiedwoman 00:24, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Q: Instead of a day some of the payrolls I'm seeing have 'second period' stamped over the '.... to ....' slots at the top of the page. Should we be leaving the day field blank or entering the last day of the relevant month (e.g. 31 if it's July)? Haven't seen any 'first period' ones yet but in this case would it be 'blank' or '15' we should enter??
- A: If there is no day listed it should be left blank. -- Wiedwoman 14:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Q: On Supplementary Rolls for adjusted wages, the record date is listed as: "for the period May and June 1916 inclusive, during the month of April 1918." Which month and year are keyed?
- A: Use April 1918 as the date. -- Wiedwoman 00:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: When the date (day) changes on the same page, do you just simply change the date (day) or create a new section?
- A: As there are no headers for the payroll list you would just change dates on the form. -- Wiedwoman 00:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: If you have a date stamp of Aug 14 1918 and a time period of 1 to 15 which day date do you key 14 or 15?
Q: Surname problem: in the surname column is only a number preceeded by a pound sign. How should this be keyed?
- A: You would key as first name only with surname blank. Such as "S N #39" would be keyed: Given: S N 39 and Surname: Blank. We haven't figured out what these numbers stand for. Maybe a Chinese that had no name or maybe a section number where they worked? --Wiedwoman 23:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Q: If there is a record number after each name, should we key that as a suffix?
- A: No. Don't key the record numbers that sometimes appear at the end of each name. -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: On an image the first half of the pay period has R Werderman and the second half of the pay period has Robt Werderman. These are on the same page. Should I key them as 2 separate records or key as Robt Werderman?
- A: Since it's possible these could be two different people, key both. -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: Names column has Chinese names, Occupation column has English names--no occupation listed. How do I key this record? Just the Chinese names, then continue with the English names, or ignore the English names?
- A: These are 1860's era forms. We should probably key the Chinese names and then continue with the English names (revised answer). I think the English names are their supervisors. Remember not to key company names. -- Wiedwoman 12:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Q: Given name is "Robt." and I would assume that is short for Robert, do I put abbreviated name or Robert?
- A: Key as Robt. Do not expand names (or occupations). -- Wiedwoman 18:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Q: I have come across a writer who has W, next to it is a " and above the ditto is a small letter n. What does this mean?
- A: Are you saying given name is W"n? Key as Wn. Could be Washington, but key as seen. -- Wiedwoman 14:31, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Q: At the top of some of the payroll pages it gives the name of a supervisor. The one I'm looking at now reads, "For Services rendered in the M. of W. Department, under the direction of W. F. TURNER DIVISION ENGINEER." Turner's name and occupation are stamped in red. Should I key him as well as the employees listed below with pay details?
- A: We do not key names that are in the upper section, nor at the bottom of the payroll sheet. -- Wiedwoman 14:39, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Q: I'm confused. Instructions say not to use symbol ' when transcribing, but in keying sample you use it for O'Connor? In what way to we not use ' ?
- A: ' can be used on surnames. They are not used for given, such as Sam'l would be keyed as Saml. We do not use any punctuation in the occupations.
-- Wiedwoman 18:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: I just came across an occupation that is listed as "Yd Engr" yet the drop down list only had expanded occupations.
- A: Key the occupation as seen. F7 to accept. -- Wiedwoman 17:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- However, note the exceptions to the "key as seen" rule in the Occupations section of the main wiki page for this project. -- Kateshort2 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Q: I am probably am getting counted down for not typing Do but, to me, DO and DO DO mean ditto. If we're not to type the " marks and instead repeat the last occupation, isn't it correct to do the same when DO or DO DO is used?
- A: Do and Do Do would mean that you would key the same information as the line above. So if the occupation of line 1 was laborer and line 2 had "do", you would enter laborer for line 2 and so on.
Q: How should records where there are odd entries in the occupation field, like location, be keyed?
- A: Per Anna - I would leave the occupation field blank. -- Wiedwoman 00:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Q: Do we include the numbers preceding the actual job? i.e. 7 Trkwalker -- 09:06, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- A: No -- Wiedwoman 16:14, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Q: Do we key the word "overtime" in the occupation or it that just the payrate?
- A: No. -- Wiedwoman 02:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: Do we key the word "do" in the occupation field or copy the occupation from previous record?
- A: No, key the occupation from the occupation from the previous record (F3) -- Wiedwoman 23:28, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Q: If the occupation is listed as "Sec Stkpr Sec 1 2 4", do we key the entire entry or just Sec Stkpr?
- A: I would only key Sec Stkpr. -- Wiedwoman 15:42, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Q: I have a document where there are no occupations listed. But above the first name on the list, in the occupation column, it says "Trainman". There are no ", or do in the following occupation fields. Do I just leave the occupation blank for everyone?
- A: If is it showing in the occupation column, I would key all the persons as trainman. -- Wiedwoman 17:54, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Q: How do we key 2 occupations for the same person if there is no & present? How do you know that there are 2 different occupations?
- A: If it were listed as Clerk and then Typist under it, it would be keyed: Clerk Typist. -- Wiedwoman 17:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Q: The payroll image I'm working on states in the header that the occupation for the employees listed is "Conductors". Should I key in "Conductors", "Conductor", or leave the field blank in the occupation field of the employees?
- A: Key as Conductors. -- Kateshort2 02:33, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Q: I understand that if an individual has two occupations that we are to simply put "and" between them.
- A: Do not add the word And unless it (or &) is specifically listed in the occupation -- Wiedwoman 23:01, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Q: One individual had 3 occupations, two of them were 3rd and 4th Operator. The occupation box would not allow two numbers. What would you advise here? Do we input the name twice and put the two numbered occupations as separate entries OR simply delete one of the numbered occupations?
- A: Use the F12 key to allow typing of numbers into the line at the top of the box and then click "ok". Key multiple occupations on one line. -- Wiedwoman 12:52, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Q: The paylist I'm working on shows the occupation for the first name while all subsequent names have ditto marks for the occupation--EXCEPT a name in the middle of the page which has the digit 2 for the occupation. I've verified that typewriters of that period had ditto marks as the shift character for the number 2, so the 2 is very likely an error. How should I enter the occupation for the name that has the 2; and all folllowing names that still show ditto marks for the occupation?
- A: Key as if it was a ditto. -- Wiedwoman 14:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Q: I am keying a set of images where the first individual on each of the first four pages is identified as conductor. Obviously I would enter conductor for him. However, for the rest of the page there are no " or do or any other type of mark listed - it is just blank. In the page heading though, it says "For services rendered...by Trainmen..." On the fifth page of the set (same page heading as the previous four), the first person is identified as motorman, farther down someone is a Cond. & Mot., next person is Motorman, etc. Is this record telling me that we have four pages of conductors and mostly motormen on the fifth page, or do I enter "trainmen" for the occupation for each of the men whose occupation is blank? I am thinking trainmen, but am I correct?
- A: We don't know for sure if the other persons on the page are conductors, trainmen, etc. I would leave the other lines blank. I've been accepting them when they do key them as the same, but I would leave them blank. -- Wiedwoman 02:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Class of Service
Q: I am working on a Payroll Record that has a column "Class of Service (See Note)". The note says: "Indicate Class of Service by using one of the following symbols: F = Freight P = Passenger L = Local H = Helper M = Mixed W = Work S = Switch D = Deadhead B = Back-up CR = Coal Run". This payroll record does not have an occupation column. Is this the occupation? If it is do I input the codes shown for the payee such as F P and W? Or do I input as Freight Passenger and Work?
Q: I notice there is no answer to the above question. I also have the same question. The payroll form lists that it is for "Conductors" and there is no column for occupatoin. But in the "Class of Service" column, it lists a number of things, including: "Frt", "Pass", "Hua", "T Bch". Other than "Frt" the other names are not in the dictionary. Am I to use "Conductors" or the odd acronyms under the "Class of Service" column?
- A: I'm not sure on this, but I would key what is listed under class of service column as the occupation. -- Wiedwoman 23:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
In reviewing I've come across a list of names of employees fired for various causes i.e. 'drunk on duty', along with the dates of termination, occupation, etc. Should this have been keyed at all since it's not payroll? If it should have been keyed would it be 'name only' or 'name and date' form?
- A: There are many of these lists where employees were fired. They would be classified as name and date form. -- Wiedwoman 17:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
