I've mentioned Donald the soldier before, my emigrating McFadyen ancestor from the Isle of Coll in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Donald joined the 2nd battalion of the 91st Regiment of Foot (Argyllshire and Sutherland Highlanders) in 1807 at the ripe and maximum age of 35. Britain was at war with Napoleon and revolutionary France. He signed up for a full seven-year term. Enlistment papers describe Donald as 5' 4" with a round face and brown hair, brown eyes and a brown complexion. While his battalion served at Stralaund and Ostend, Donald remained "at depot" in Ayr. He was discharged 24 December 1814.
Years ago this information was sent to me by a very kind Gerald Hamilton-Edwards, the author of In Search of Army Ancestry. High on my to-do list now is obtaining copies of the War Office (WO 25/527) documents for myself.
Why enlist then ... at his age? Donald and his wife Flory McLean already had three children by then and he was living as a labourer at Toraston on Coll. How to reconcile his having two children during his army period 1807-1814? More recently, my thoughts were revolving around the possibility that Donald could have had prior military service. Now I'm almost convinced. A second derivative source is providing me with exciting information.
Another of my past correspondents, Nicholas Maclean-Bristol, produced his work of a lifetime in 2007: From Clan to Regiment: Six Hundred Years in the Hebrides, 1400-2000 (Sword and Pen Books, UK). The book is an outstanding work of scholarship, a history of Clan Maclean of Coll.
The fortunes and follies of the Maclean estates directly affected my resident McFadyens. Maclean of Coll at various times held estates in the Isles of Coll, Mull, Rum, Muck and mainland Morvern. Living on Coll at Breacachadh Castle, Maclean-Bristol has had access to private Maclean papers. But that's not all. His source citations reveal an incredible range of archival references.
Coll parish registers only became somewhat "regular" in about 1776. The baptism of Donald c1772 is missing, as are baptisms of some of his children. Heretofore, the 1776 catechist's list that named all the inhabitants of Coll was pretty well the end of the road for eighteenth century sources. In theory, Donald and his parents are on that list. My hypothesis regarding Donald's parents is developing and will be tested against information and sources gleaned from this book—a future post, to be sure.
It's not easy absorbing 600 years of history in 734 pages and I'm not finished! Terrific stuff I learned so far:
■ McFadyens were on Coll by the late 1500s, originally settling at Ardnish. It is said they had been dispossessed from Lochbuie in Mull, probably when their Maclean laird lost estates there.
■ At least one McFadyen line was traditionally part of the laird's luchd-tighe—a group variously described as household men, a retinue, and/or a bodyguard. "Membership" in this coterie of military-trained supporters began with Maclean kin but also became hereditary in closely allied families. Usually they lived not far from the castle for defense purposes.
■ In 1679 Donald Maclean of Coll was defeated in an ongoing feud with the (Campbell) Earl of Argyll. Coll submitted a list of his garrison at Breacachadh Castle, headed by twenty or so of his luchd-tighe. This included two Mcphaidens: Duncan McDonald Vc Ian [sic] and his brother Dugall of Ardnish. It's possible that two other brothers were McFadyen cousins: Iaian McNeill Vc Innes and his brother Ewen. Notice the patronymics, which I trust to the experts!
■ Following the suppression of the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion and the surrender of Maclean officers at Breacachadh, a list was made in 1716 of all males of military age on the island whether they had taken part in the rebellion or not, obliging them to give up their arms. Not many of the men on the list could be identified by a surname or patronymic. Some of the "certainly identifiable" castle defenders were of the same families as the 1679 list, according to Maclean-Bristol. Included in the luchd-tighe at this time was Angus MacFadyen, probably one of the joint tenants at Ardnish, close to Breacachadh.
I've already spotted an anomaly in Maclean-Bristol's writings about the 1716 list. In 1998 he edited Inhabitants of the Inner Isles, Morvern and Arnamurchan, 1716 (Scottish Record Society). Without having yet seen the publication and what it is based on, I can only surmise the government wanted a census of all real or potential Jacobite rebels in the entire region. The McFadyen men on Coll were:
■ Donald Mcphaden at "Breckachie." That implies that Donald was the luchd-tighe man. Only four other McFadyen men were listed, likely living more distant from the castle: Angus Mcphaden at Feall, Hugh Roy Mcffaden, another Angus McPhadden and his son Angus. No locations are given for the last three.
■ However ... in From Clan to Regiment, Maclean-Bristol is saying (as above) Angus MacFadyen is the likely luchd-tighe member. Angus is further noted as giving up 'a sword of Charles roy's in Ardnish' which led to the author's conclusion about his place of residence.
Whether the 1716 man was Donald or Angus is a problem several generations earlier than current evidence of my own line! Making quantum leaps about relationships over gaps between 1776 and 1716, and 1716 back to 1679 is not recommended in genealogy :-D
Here's hoping that viewing more sources will clarify the above and help fill some gaps. The University of Guelph's McLaughlin Library has arguably the largest collection of Scottish material outside of Scotland. And it's only 50 miles away.

Thanks for posting this research about Donald MacFadyen -- it's not something I'd ever have found on my own.
Would you like a scan of an image of my g-grandfather Donald MacFadyen of Malgawatch who was your soldier Donald's grandson?

Car hire companies in the UK, Short Term Car Insurance For Under 21 Just Passed in Sandton like every other car owner in the United Kingdom are required by law to have insurance for the vehicle covering third party risk. This mean that the vehicle has to have insurance cover for the eventuality that the vehicle is involved in an incident in which third party property is damaged or a person is injured.
So when you rent a car from a car rental company in the UK this insurance cover will be in place without you having to pay for it directly as part of your rental cost. The car is likely to have comprehensive insurance included in the rental cost. This covers the cost of repair to the vehicle in the event that it has been damaged.
However, due to the insurance costs incurred by the car hire company, they normally try to offset their costs by having an insurance excess or deductible on their policy. The excess amount could be in the region of GBP 600.00 and could be more if the vehicle is a premium type car, Short Term Car Insurance 18 Year Olds like a sports car.
The car rental company make the person hiring the car responsible for the insurance excess amount.
This means that in the event that the car is damage, the renter would be responsible for the first GBP 600.00 of damage to the car, Short Term Car Insurance Expensive if the excess has been set as GBP 600.00. By doing this they reduce their insurance costs and also give the renter an incentive to try and avoid the vehicle being damaged.
Reasons to Get Temporary Car Insurance
When a vehicle is returned damaged to a car rental location, the car rental staff will normally work off a chart of sorts to establish the approximate cost of repair. They will then apply this cost to the hirers credit card. In the event that the cost of repair is actually less than the amount charged to the credit card, there is some doubt that the car rental company actually contacts the hirer to refund the difference. The hirer should make a point of contacting the car rental company to establish what the exact of cost of damage was in case they are entitled to a refund.
Short Term Car Insurance For Under 21 Just Passed in Sandton ?
In Florida, the car insurance requirements are as follows: $10,000 for personal injury protection, also known as PIP, and $10,000 for property damage liability, also known as PDL.
Floridians are not alone when it comes to having state-imposed car insurance requirements. All states in America require minimum car insurance requirement. While some people choose to satisfy these car insurance requirements by purchasing their policy through an insurance company, other people choose to be "self-insured," or to put down a bond that will cover the amount of the car insurance requirements. How you choose to show proof that you have met your state's car insurance requirements is up to the state.
Before you begin your search for a policy that meets Florida's car insurance requirements, make sure you are eligible to have that minimum coverage - not all drivers are. If you have borrowed money to purchase your new car, your lender will undoubtedly require you to purchase more than Florida's minimum car insurance requirements until the debt is paid.
The Benefits of Paying a Car Insurance Premiums in Full Vs In Installments
If you already have car insurance for your car, you know you are covered in the case of an accident. But, what if you have a new driver in the family, such as a spouse or a teenager? You should add them to your policy, as well.
It is important to know the ins and outs of adding a driver to a car insurance policy so that you make the right decisions.
Decide Whether You Need To Add A Driver
The first decision you need to make is about whether to add the new driver to your policy. It breaks out like this: if the new driver is getting their own car, you will need to insure that car, either under your name or under the new driver's name. (If the new driver will be the primary driver for the car, you will probably want to insure the car under their name.)
3. Take this opportunity to shop your car insurance policy for a better deal: Any time you are adding a new person to your policy or if someone in your family is getting their own policy for their own car, it can be a smart time to shop for a better car insurance deal. Contact 4-5 competing insurance companies and give them your current coverage information. Ask them for a quotation. The whole process can take less than an hour and could save you hundreds in monthly insurance payments.
Follow these 3 tips to add a driver to your car insurance policy.

The word signage seems to keep popping up more and more and it would seem that in the majority of cases it is being used as the plural of sign and increasingly is perceived as a "clever" alternative to that plural. The OED states:
Chiefly N. Amer. Signs collectively, esp. public signs on facia boards, signposts, etc.; the design and arrangement of these.
Submit Your Comment
I would think that "signage" as opposed to "signs" is meant to reference the arrangement thereof, as the entry states. Stores put "signs" in the window but it's the "signage" that draws you in.
@Bryan M
Yes, my thoughts exactly.
However, "common usage" or as I said "trying to be clever usage" seems to be leading to its use as the plural. This is especially true in NZ, especially in the press.
"Signage" as a plural for "sign" when we have the perfectly normal word "signs" available strikes me as about as far from clever as one can get--all the way to stupid.
I think, though, that this may be being misread. When some advertising type refers to the "signage" of a retailer, it is not a reference to its signs (in plural) but to its general mass of signs (arrangement, coordination, plan, whatever). Indeed, the "signage" of a given place might consist of only one sign.
Yeah.. I've never heard anyone use the word signage improperly..
My first thought was that you were misreading, as well..
But, I don't want to assume too much. The problem here is that you didn't provide anyone an example!
Rather than list examples I suggest you take a look at this link:-
which may serve the purpose.
I think you may even find one example there where it appears as a verb!
HairyScot, I'm not sure which one you found to be a verb. I couldn't find one. Also, in all fairness, a few of the examples in the link were definitely correct, only a few were definitely incorrect, but most were ambiguous at best. For those, it would be impossible to say they're wrong without getting inside the head of the writer.
I agree that some of the examples may be correct and/or ambiguous, and it would be quite a chore to go through them all..
The verb is in this article:-
"Part of our korero [discussion] is that once we get the act through we will signage those places that are wahi tapu [sacred areas], so people know they are wahi tapu and respect them."
Are we sure the person who is going to "signage" sacred areas is a native speaker? It strikes me as the sort of mistake a person who is transliterating from another language might make--keep in mind that verb-noun-preposition combination such as "put signs around" are idiomatic.
At any rate, I just don't believe this is a problem; it is too bizarre.
I think 'signs' has many meanings, but signage is more specific: posters, roadsigns, billboards etc. If my say my job is to make signs I could be talking to deaf people. If I say my job is to make signage you know what I do, even if it sounds awful.
The indiscriminate use in New Zealand of "signage" to mean sign or signpost means not that it must be fine because they do it, rather that the poor people of that benighted land have been inveigled, by their own example or maybe the fantasy that they are doing American English or computer-speak, into using the horrible examples you have quoted here. They do a lot a more violence to the English language than this: I have heard "farewell" used as a verb (Today we farewell Mr Smith), "exit" as a verb (please exit the hall) and "swari" as an evening party, which I must surmise is a Maori word, although I suspect it is really ignorant-speak for "soiree". Do not under any circumstances take their mangled version of the language as a model, nor is it even an amusing subject for laughter, as Australian is.
@Brus ... You left out that the kiwi bureaucracy has coined the phrase "under urgency".
Farewell as a verb? Hmmmm ... I might be ok with that but the wonted way to make a verb from a noun is with the forefast be- but not always. Then too, we now hear folk talk about "friending" someone on Facebook instead of befriending.
Swari is a Japanese word I remember from Aikido (at least I think that is it ... it's been a long time) but it had nothing to do with an evening party. I have seen swaray for soiree (and swaray is best said with a Southern accent) ... I could see someone using swari if he doesn't know that the "ree" is said as "ray" ... Or maybe he does and is poking fun at it.
Exit IS also a verb. As in exit stage right. A byspel from the OED: The bullet entered her back and exited through her chest.
"Under urgency!" Horror! Where do they get these phrases? Actually, probably out of the same box the UK police and public medical services got theirs. I heard one saying on television recently "four male persons were ...". And there are examples any time a spokesman has to explain to a camera at the scene of the crime or incident. I believe they are made to speak in this weird way to communicate clearly on crackly radios, like the air force in WW2. This may explain why such a person might say "the bullet exited on the right side" where "came out" would sound much better, but might be misunderstood. The Latin "exit" is clinical and ugly, and the Anglo-Saxon based "came out" or "left" suits informal occasions. "When you leave the hall" is good English, "When you exit the hall" is dreadful. "Exit stage left" is an ancient stage direction. Yes, it is a verb here, but like the air force radio-speak is surely not intended as normal language, any more than is the labelling on a box of goods "this way up" is meant to masquerade as an elegantly constructed English sentence.
Thanks for helping to clear up that thing about the swari.
Being a former cop ... the police-speak comes from the wont of writing and talking as if everything is going to be brooked in a courtroom ... since it often is! It's a form of legalese! lol
Ugh! In my mind, "signage" is another abominable creation of the business, or perhaps military, culture--along with "utilize" (gag!) and the use of "grow" as a transitive (e.g., "We need to grow our business by at least 10% or we're in trouble.").
These hideous words are akin to using "impact" as a verb: "He impacted me greatly." (Please don't make me heave my breakfast!). Sadly, I alone won't succeed in stopping the world from using impact in this way, but I am not going to slip into such mediocrity myself. I dread the day--and it will come!--when "impact" used as a verb will become "impactize." Again, ugh!

Three men were killed and another man was wounded early Sunday when a brawl led to gunfire outside a tavern, police said.
Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman said dozens of people were leaving the Sports Page Tavern in Auburn, which is about 30 miles south of Seattle, at closing time around 2 a.m. when two groups began fighting in the parking lot.
He said several people pulled handguns and fired shots, and three men were killed. A fourth man suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was in stable condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Hirman said late Sunday. The ages of the four run between 21 and 32.
Problems between two groups, one celebrating a birthday, started inside the tavern when two women had a disagreement.
"The dispute started between two women when one of them danced with a man," Hirman said in a statement late Sunday night.
Hirman said some of the victims and suspects knew each other. The identities of the victims would not be released until Monday afternoon at the earliest, a spokeswoman with the King County Medical Examiner's office said.
Police detained a person of interest and arrested that person on an unrelated weapons charge.
Police have recovered several handguns. They believe several different firearms were used based on shell casings recovered from the scene.
Police in the neighboring suburbs of Federal Way and Kent stopped two vehicles that matched descriptions of cars leaving the scene of the shooting.
Those vehicles were seized, and their occupants were being questioned, said Hirman. The car stopped in Federal Way was riddled with bullets.

- Chinn Ho
JS Comment:
Chinn Ho, known as "the Chinese Rockefeller," was the first Asian American to make a fortune in Hawaii real estate development.
His offhand success formula — "wait long, then move fast" — is all too often the opposite of what investors do: They "can't wait" to chase trains that have left the station, and then move slowly (rather than fast) to seize opportunities and cut losses.
The concept applies in trading in respect to waiting for a clear and present inflection point before making a sizable bet.
But it also applies in daily life, in respect to simple activities like purchasing a used car or buying a house. The more in a hurry you are, the less likely you are to come across an exceptional opportunity. (And of course, you want the checkbook in your pocket when you find it.)

Getting busy in the garden? Read this first
It's been a rough winter for trees. But now that it's over, give them some TLC, eh?
And for trees this size, that doesn't mean climbing your ladder and attacking them with a chainsaw. In fact, stay off of that ladder and drop the loppers. First off, be safe, says Ralph Bronk of Mountain High Tree, Lawn & Landscape Co. Climbing a ladder with a two-handed tool is simply asking to be injured. Even the pros are roped into the tree to prevent falls or simply bring the big bucket truck.
The tree in the photo that Bronk provided has what's known as a double leader — a narrow "V" that, had the tree been pruned properly when it was small, wouldn't exist. Those two trunks are joined by weak tissue that's prone to split in wind, especially if the tree has suffered internal decay or drought stress or been previously weakened (like, by the hella West winds we've been having all year.). This is something that expert tree gals and guys know. Don't just hand money to someone who shows up on your porch with a chain saw. Seek out a qualified arborist. Usually, that will be a tree company that at least HAS some certified arborists on staff. They're nice, they really know trees, and unless they have to climb the tree or bring the bucket truck to see the damage, they don't charge for their estimates. They can even advise you on a regular pruning/thinning schedule, so that this won't happen to you.So what are you supposed to do this weekend, when there's finally little wind and it's a little bit warm and you're all gassed up to go outside and wreak order upon your yard chaos?
Because really, what you need to do mostly is have patience. Tackle those OTHER yard chores. Trim & tidy your cold-hardiest perennials. Water and fertilize your budding bulbs. You've got until about mid-April to deal with your tree (though arborists can prune throughout the year.) Wait until the almost-freezing cold of midnight or the crack of dawn and knock down any old wasp nests. Get after your gutters. Really, there's plenty to do out there. [Hey, I've got BEETS still in the ground from last fall! I guess I'd better go dig them up!]
If your tree lost a lot of canopy in last October's snow, it's going to need all the leaves it can produce to feed itself and recover this summer. You can live with a little asymmetry for a year.
This first blush of spring will pass, but an incorrect cut on an already stressed tree? That's forever. So take it easy. Be safe out there.

The Advance Monthly Retail Trade Survey (MARTS) is compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau by mailing out questionnaires to a sampling of about 5,500 employer firms.
The unadjusted figures provide an initial estimate of monthly sales in the retail and food service sectors.
With the results from each industry, the Bureau computes a framework of sales data, giving insight into the current state of U.S. economic activity.

Have I mentioned how much I love milkshakes?
This milkshake may not look like much, but trust me when I tell you it is heavenly. I love ice cream, always have and I am sure I always will. Growing up I loved making milkshakes with my mom. She had one of those old fashioned mint green milkshake makers from her mom. I am pretty sure the metal cup and old fashioned shake maker made them taste better. I wonder if she still has that thing. I would ask her for it, but Zack already thinks I have too many kitchen gadgets....
Now let's talk about this shake. You know I love S'mores based on all my previous posts, so obviously I am going to love a toasted marshmallow shake. I once attempted to add some chopped milk chocolate this shake to make it more s'mores like and it was a nice addition, but I think I preferred it without. I may try to mic in some graham cracker crumbs next time, but really it is perfect as is and needs nothing.
Toasted Marshmallow Shake
recipe adapted from Spike Mendelshon
makes 2 servings
1/2 of a 1lb bag of jumbo marshmallows
1 cup whole milk
1 cup good vanilla ice cream (I like Breyers)
Homemade whipped cream
Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Spread the marshmallows on the baking sheet and place in the oven until nice and brown. Let cool.
In a blender, mix the milk, ice cream, and all but two marshmallows. Blend until smooth. Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and reserved marshmallows. Serve immediately.

That guy with the Beats headphones cranked up to 11 might have another tool to avoid the long arm of Darwin. It's called WiFi-Honk and the name says it all.
The app, developed by students at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, is for both drivers and pedestrians, and combines their smartphone's WiFi, GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope to determine their exact locations. If their paths are on a collision course, the guy punishing his eardrums to Die Antwoord gets an audio, visual, and tactile alert.
Up until now, getting a solid WiFi connection quick enough for this kind of rapid-fire alert was impossible at anything over five or 10 mph. But the latest breed of WiFi beacons can ping devices every 100 milliseconds, and when combined with the algorithm the students developed for WiFi-Honk, they can amp it up or slow it down as needed.
Naturally, they're dealing with the issue of unnecessary alerts, but the next step is not requiring an app at all. Every new smartphone has WiFi and cars are getting it too, so it's no surprise that GM has been working on a similar system to link the two since 2012.

One of the things that can really catapult your success investing in apartments and commercial real estate is working with the right commercial broker. Finding a great deal is really all about the numbers, and getting more deals across your desk. Working with the right commercial broker will not only save you time, but make you a lot of money by getting opportunities in front of you.
So the question is, "How do you find the right commercial broker?"
I will "bottom line" this for you and make it easy. Make sure you find a broker that does nothing but investment real estate and specializes in it. DO NOT use a broker that is a "jack of all trades," meaning going from an open house on a Sunday to chatting with you about the 320 unit property on Monday.
You want someone that does nothing but spends time in the investment real estate world.
The specialized knowledge that a commercial broker has will be able to get you more GOOD opportunities to look at and because they know the market will be able to identify properties that can be very profitable. A good broker can also assist you in developing ways to purchase the property where you are making money at the closing table too. Plus they will help you avoid some of the common investment mistakes, as well.
This, more than any other of my "rules" is violated, and the investors that do violate this many times pay for it too. Make sure that you are not one of them.


text: What could be more glamorous than gold? The shimmering metallic color has recently made a stunning resurgence, appearing not only in decorative objects and picture frames, but also in large-scale furnishings and wall treatments. It can be as gleaming and reflective as chrome and silver, but gold also has the advantage that its sunny character is infinitely warmer. The following spaces by four top designers offer just a few examples of how gold can enhance a room.

Amidst recent media speculation around BlackBerry and hopeful claims of competitors, we've been setting the record straight about both our pedigree in Enterprise Mobility Management – as well as our progress.
At our Q1 earnings call yesterday, we disclosed that more than 2,600 enterprises comprising 1.2 million workers are trying out our multi-platform, secure EMM platform, BES10. They are signing up via our EZ Pass program, which makes it easy for companies to try out BES10 for free. More than 10% of those licenses were trade-ins from competing Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms such as Mobile Iron.
Publications took note:
So did publications:
Mobile Enterprise: "BlackBerry is Coming Back"
The Inquirer: "BlackBerry CEO celebrates EZ Pass wins over Good and MobileIron"
eWeek: "BlackBerry has enjoyed a 'strong uptick' in sign-ups for its EZ Pass program."
Mashable: "BlackBerry has managed to make moves to gain momentum back against its competitors such as GOOD and Mobile Iron, according to Chen."
IT Business Edge: "The EZ Pass Program to move BlackBerry's device management offerings more aggressively into enterprises has already shown solid signs of success."
Learn more at http://www.blackberry.com/ezpassinfo.
Also, the below infographic includes other key details about our current market position in EMM, security certifications, award-winning customer service and investments in our future. Please feel free to share it with your colleagues, especially skeptical ones. If it's not clear already, we are absolutely committed to providing secure and innovative solutions to our customers and giving them the peace of mind they deserve.
(As of February 2015, BlackBerry holds 70+ security certifications and approvals from governments.)

Executives at many companies have the best of intentions when it comes to creating wellness programs that will make a difference in their employees' lives. Unfortunately, many of them fall short of their intentions. The reasons for these failures vary. Some lack the money to invest in wellness programs, some lack the knowledge to put these programs together, some lack the staff to lead them and some lack the commitment required for their success.
You, however, have the knowledge, the staff and the commitment to lead these programs. You just need to convince these business owners of that and also convince them how their dollars spent on a partnership with you will save them more money in the long run by lowering their health care costs.
A recent survey of 1,598 companies in various industries by insurance brokerage company Willis North America shows that the corporate wellness market is growing. Sixty percent of the surveyed companies offer a wellness program, 8 percent plan to offer one in the future and 33 percent do not offer any program. Of the companies that offer a wellness program, only 10 percent offer a comprehensive program (which means they have a large budget for the program, offer broad incentives to participate, track workout data, track data on how the program is benefitting the company and allow spouses to participate.) Fifty-eight percent plan to expand their wellness program. These numbers show that while a large percentage of businesses offer wellness programs, a large number still do not, leaving room for opportunity.
However, spending on wellness programs is a bit anemic. Of those surveyed, 49 percent have a defined budget for corporate wellness, and 47 percent of those invest less than $50 per employee each year in their wellness program.
The lack of spending may lead you to believe that your time is better spent on other revenue possibilities, but 30 percent of those companies plan to increase or establish a budget. Better yet, some of that money likely will go to partners, as 15 percent plan to partner with a vendor. Forty percent of the respondents already use a third-party wellness vendor, and 44 percent already partner with a local fitness center.
Some larger health club and fitness management companies spotted the opportunity in this market years ago, partnering with larger corporations on their wellness programs. Perhaps it is time you make a splash in your local market by marketing your expertise to smaller local businesses.
However, to do well in partnerships with businesses of any size, you must be able to deliver what you promise and make a financial and personnel commitment to this. You must research some of the best wellness programs out there and decide how you can offer something similar. You also must invest in educating your staff and recruiting a knowledgeable group of people who are not just dedicated to running these programs but also are adept at doing so.
Business leaders want these programs, but wellness is not their area of expertise. Lucky for them and you, it is your area of expertise. The added costs for you upfront will be worth the payoff later.

A normal heart rate for a healthy adult is between 60 and
100 beats per minute. Heart rates of more than 100 beats per minute
(tachycardia) can be caused by:
Babies and children younger than 2 years old have higher
heart rates because their body metabolism is faster. Heart rates decrease as
children grow, and usually by the teen years the heart rate is in the same
range as an adult's.
A new fast heart rate may be caused by a more
serious health problem. Heart disease or other medical conditions may sometimes
cause a fast heart rate. A fast heart rate may cause
palpitations, dizziness,
lightheadedness, or fainting. Atrial fibrillation is
the most common type of fast heartbeat. It causes the heart's upper chambers to
beat irregularly, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and to the rest of
the body. Atrial fibrillation increases your chance of having a
stroke or a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
If you have
heart disease or
heart failure, or if you have had a
heart attack, be sure you understand the seriousness
of a change in your heart rate or rhythm.

Although I live in beautiful Southern California and the weather is usually amazing, I found myself becoming envious of our customers living in the Mid-West and North-East.
It always sounded crazy to me that anyone would go into their hot tub when it is freezing outside. So I had to ask why? My first thought was I would never go out in freezing weather to get in my hot tub. As it was explained why and described to me how wonderful it is to be in the warm water while snow is falling from the sky I could feel myself "turning green" with envy.
One customer mentioned that while soaking in her lavender scented water not only can she enjoy the snow falling on her head, she has seen comets fly by.
Another customer mentioned how he watches the sunrise over snow covered trees while safe and warm in his hot tub. He actually eats breakfast and drinks coffee in his tub hot every morning. He was buying a new Spa Caddy to hold his morning meal.
Now, California may have nice weather but I want to see comets fly by, snow fall on my head and the sun rise over snow covered trees while safe and warm in my hot tub.
I guess the soak is always better on the other side.

Raging Spirit (2012)
High water and peak spring greens at one of my favorite waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge of Washington. It was amazing to see the high volume of water pouring over the falls during the spring runoff. The water in this river is almost entirely spring fed which makes it incredibly clear and blue. Expert kayakers occasionally run the line on the far left of the waterfall.
Reflections (2015)
Elowah Falls reflected in a small pool below the falls. The vibrant and lush spring vegetation which surrounds this waterfall really adds to the beauty of the scene. This is one of my favorite waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon!
Hello Spring (2012)
Wildflowers (bleeding hearts) and spring greens surrounding Ponytail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. It doesn't get much better than springtime in the gorge...electric greens, wildflowers and tons of water!
Lush (2013)
Peak spring greens surrounding a beautiful waterfall deep in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon. Catching the greens at their peak is truly an amazing experience. The colors are absolutely incredible.
Spring Cascade
The combination of falling water, lush moss and diffused light all came together to create a very inviting springtime scene in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon.
The Green Zebra
Waterfall and moss detail in the Columbia River Gorge of Washington. With a telephoto lens I was able to explore all of the interesting details of this popular waterfall. I think this section looks like stripes on a zebra, but in green instead of black.
The Allure of Spring (2012)
Peak spring greens and lots of water in the Columbia River Gorge of Washington.
Rock Water
Fairy Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. A close up of the rock, water and moss at the popular Fairy Falls.
An incredible amount of water flowing over Elowah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon.
In December 2015, the Pacific Northwest received a record amount of rainfall. The rain was intense for several days and flooding was widespread throughout the region. The town of Cascade Locks, Oregon, which is located in the middle of the Columbia River Gorge, received 24.48 inches of rain in the month of December. This was double the normal amount of rain. With all of the heavy rainfall, the waterfalls were absolutely raging in the gorge. I was lucky enough to be able to make it out during the peak of the flow and this is my favorite image from that day. Even though I wore my full rain gear and waders, I was completely soaked after spending the day out there!
This image was quite a challenge to capture due to the intense spray coming off the main waterfall and the pouring rain. To deal with all of the spray, I covered my camera/lens with a small umbrella while I found my composition and got everything set up. When I was ready to shoot, I would quickly lift the umbrella straight up and fire off a few frames. Within 5 seconds the polarizer was completely covered with spray and rain drops. I would then cover the camera back up with the umbrella and dried everything off with microfiber cloths and Kim Wipes. When everything was ready, I would repeat the process. I spent over an hour shooting this scene and managed to get 4 usable frames. The process was challenging, but it was definitely worth it!
Before the Fall (2013)
A panoramic view of Punchbowl Falls on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon. This view is no longer available since a large tree fell in front of the falls this spring and the view is now obstructed.

WASHINGTON — Malia Obama peered out through the viewfinder of her camera from her perch on the inaugural podium. And what a view she had: A million or more people packed onto the National Mall, listening raptly to her father give his inaugural address.
One imagines it was a heady moment for Malia, 10, and sister Sasha, 7, these self-possessed and appealing youngsters who've already fascinated the country more than any presidential progeny since the Kennedys. Now they're likely to fascinate us even more, as the youngest occupants of an invigorated new White House.
To no one's great surprise, the girls were poised and collected on the podium, where they stood alongside their parents as Obama took the oath of office. Malia was more visible in the television coverage; She smiled confidently when she arrived with her grandmother, and seemed to offer her dad a few words of approval after his speech.
As befits bona fide tween celebrities who, just the night before, danced onstage with the Jonas Brothers, designers had been angling to dress the Obama girls for the inauguration.
Blue for Malia, pink for Sasha
Their mom chose J. Crew, the mall favorite that the new first lady occasionally patronizes for herself. Malia looked chic in a periwinkle-blue coat with a fluffy black wool scarf, and Sasha was more little-girl like in a light pink coat with an orange scarf and coral-colored dress.
And it was perhaps a sign of their uncommon fame that two inaugural speakers mentioned them directly: the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who called the girls "angelic" in his benediction, and evangelical pastor Rick Warren, who prayed for them in his invocation.
What were the girls thinking on the podium, one wondered? One former presidential daughter speculates that even at their young age, they understand the import of the moment and their role in it. "I think they recognize that they're part of history," said Lynda Johnson Robb, daughter of Lyndon B. Johnson.
"I imagine they'll keep a level head, though the opposite can happen," Robb said in an interview before the inauguration. "They certainly show a great affection for their father. And in that job, you need every bit of comfort you can get."
Some found the very sight of the first black presidential children deeply moving. "I'm having a hard time looking at Sasha and Malia, I must say," commented Rachel Maddow, the liberal MSNBC host.
Ahead for the Obama girls on Tuesday: a chance to settle into their White House rooms for the first time.
Party and movies
NBC News reported that the girls and children of White House staffers would have a party at the White House while their parents attended various inaugural balls. The girls asked to watch the movies "High School Musical III" and "Bolt."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
When the girls stood next to their father during the oath, they were participating in only a recent tradition. Bill and Hillary Clinton began it in 1997 with daughter Chelsea, says Carl Sferazza Anthony, historian for the National First Ladies Library. George W. Bush followed suit with twin daughters Jenna and Barbara.
Amy Carter, then age 9, didn't stand on the podium in 1977, but she did get to walk the parade route at front with her parents, who abandoned their limo in what was called the "People's Inaugural." Her brothers, Jack, Jeff and Chip, though, walked behind.
Kids weren't always a part of inaugural ceremonies at all. The Kennedy kids, for all the attention on them, were not at the inauguration of their dad, John F. Kennedy. Caroline, 3, and John, an infant, were at the family home in Palm Beach, Fla.
Poignant moment in 1869
Anthony says it was in 1869 that a presidential child first had a public role. Little Nellie Grant ran to grasp the hand of her father, Ulysses S. Grant, just as he took the oath. The poignant moment was captured by a sketch artist for a weekly newspaper.
In a different kind of poignancy, Franklin Roosevelt relied on his eldest son James at his inaugurations to help him swing his legs in their iron braces so he could disguise his disability from the public, Anthony says.
There are also tragic tales. Just weeks before his father was sworn in 1853, Benjamin Pierce, 11, was killed in a freak train accident. Franklin Pierce canceled much of the inaugural pageantry and his grief-stricken wife didn't attend at all.
And on a much lighter note, Anthony recalls that Charlie Taft, also 11, "was not at all impressed" as his father, William Howard Taft, took the oath of office in 1909: "He was entirely engrossed in reading Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, 'Treasure Island."'

Welcome to alfredcarrada.org
Here you will find some notes, remarks, observations, words and names (with etymological interpretation) on the language and culture of the ISLAND-ARAWAKS commonly known as TAINOS* Compiled by Alfred Carrada - Completed August 2003
I started collecting Island-Arawak (Taino) artifacts more that twenty years ago. Although I grew up in the West Indies I did not become fully acquainted wit this culture until I made a holiday trip to Santo Domingo in the late Seventies. I became fascinated and bewitched by the beautiful and intriguing objects made by the Taino artisans, and collecting these objects became a passion that took a life of its own. At the same time I began collecting Taino artifacts I started to acquaint myself with their culture by reading whatever material I could get may hands on. The first book I read was Fred Olsen's "On the Trail of the Arawaks" and it was an eye opener for me. I also became very intrigued by what the meaning of geographical, topographical and historical Indian names could mean. I had read that according to Julian Granberry "words in Arawakan languages are monosyllabic" and so, with this in mind I began to make notes that would help me reach an etymological meaning to some of their names and words. So, here are the names and words I found relevant to my quest, with my etymological root value interpration; as well as information I came across that I found of interest. I am publishing my findings in the internet in case that someone other than myself finds it interesting and worth looking into it.
*The Taino are considered to be only the people associated with the Boca Chica culture; i.e. 1000 A.C. (ninth century); the precursors of the Taino were the Saladoid, Huecoid and Ostionoid (all of them ethnic Arawaks), whose language and culture were an integral part of Taino society.

Jean Baptiste DeLaChaumette
Daniel and Marie Aucouturier De La Chaumette's son left France, went to England where he married his 2nd wife, Elizabeth H. Bougeois, daughter of John Bougeois and unknown wife. They relocated to Martinique, French West Indies. They had 4 sons, Antione and John were born in London, England. Samuel and Daniel were born in Martinique, French West Indies. After Marie's death, Antione in charge of the plantation and brought John, Samuel and Daniel to the Virginia colony in search of his brother, Arnoul(Arnell De La Chaumette)Shewmake, only to find he had died almost 20 years. In passing through Westmoreland Co., VA, he found Mark Hardouin, his brother-in-law, a Norman Emigrant, who owned and inn (or tavern) in Stafford Co., VA near Germantown trail crossed Elks Run. It was through Mark Hardin, in 1723, Jean bought some choice bottom land along Elk Run from the biggest landowner in the area, William Allen of Overwharton Parish in the County of Stafford. The deed is recorded in Stafford Co., VA, deed book. He bought 200 acres of land, which was an indication the John Shumate I, (as we will hereafter call him), was more than moderately wealthy. It is believed John 1, died around 1728, just before ar after his son, John II married Judith Bailey. It has been said John I was killed by a blow in the head by a highwayman wielding the large door key of Marc Hardouin's tavern. When the tavern was demolished some years later, the workmen pulled up the treadle of one of the steps, there was Spanish money galore. No will for John I, has been found, which may indicate to us that he had not anticipated his death to be near. However, it is possible that he had made a will, the Stafford Co., Will Books for the years between 1709-1729 are missing. (Extract from The Shumate Family by Theodor-Friedrich von Stauffenberg)

- Warm White is equivalent to a standard incandescent light color and is most popular for residential applications. It has a slight warm yellow glow to it that many people find comfortable and we are all used to seeing in our homes. It is a 2700-3000K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
Cool White is equivalent to a standard CFL or Fluorescent light color and is most popular for commercial applications, although it is also used fairly often in residential. It puts out a pure white without any yellow undertone. It is a 4000-4500K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.
DayWhite™ most closely replicates natural daylight and does have a slight blue hue to the light output. This is rarely seen in residential applications as the light output can seem a bit harsh and bright, and is most commonly seen in exterior or commercial applications. This is the brightest of the White light color options. It is a 6000-6500K on the Kelvin Light Color Scale.

NVIDIA has released Beta 2.2 of CUDA. The CUDAarchitecture supports C, OpenCL, DirectX Compute, Fortran, and other languages. Features of the CUDA Beta 2.2 include:
- Hardware debugger for the GPU. Linux developers can now use a debugger on CUDA-enabled GPUs that offers both the familiar interface of the popular open-source GDB debugger and the ability to debug kernels as they execute on the GPU. The GPU-side debugger has all the features that developers expect from GDB, including the ability to have breakpoints, watch variables, inspect state, etc., as well as additional functions for CUDA-specific features.
- Visual Profiler v2.2 for the GPU. The most common step in tuning application performance is profiling the application and then modifying the code. The CUDA Visual Profiler is a graphical tool that enables profiling C applications running on the GPU. This latest release of the CUDA Visual Profiler supports full measurement of memory bandwidth within a kernel, giving developers visibility into one of the most performance-critical areas of CUDA.
- Full support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008. Tesla C1060 and S1070 are now fully supported under both Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008, offering developers and high-performance computing users more flexibility in their choice of operating system. CUDA 2.2 runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and major Linux distributions.
Additional CUDA 2.2 features include:
- Improved OpenGL interop performance
- Texture from pitch linear memory
- Zero-copy support for direct access to system memory
- Pinned shared system memory allows compute kernels to share system memory
- Asynchronous memcopy on Vista
For a full list of new features in CUDA 2.2 and to get early access, go to this CUDA forum discussion. A CUDA 2.2 programming guide is available here.

Wieck auf dem Darß is a municipality in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Wieck is situated at the southern shore of the peninsula Darß at the coastal lagoon (Low German: Bodden), between Born and the Baltic seaside resort Prerow.
places of interest
The Darß is part of the former islands Fischland, Darß and Zingst. The peninsula is part of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park. The surrounding of Wieck is famous for being a resting place for tens of thousands of migrating cranes and geese. Tourism has long been a source of income and been increased after the German reunification, but the Darß is still far from becoming a crowded tourist place.
For centuries Wieck belonged to the Dutchy of Pomerania and became swedish after the Thirty Years War. After Napoleon, Wieck became in 1815 Pomeranian again. After World War II it was part of the district Ribnitz-Damgarten. Wieck now belongs to the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene.

This past Sunday night I was preparing for my taping next week of Quilting Arts TV, where I'll be talking about the quilt I designed for Coats & Clark. It's a striped pieced quilt, and I had this bright idea that it would be nice to have another example to talk about. And I've had this rainbow jelly roll of Kona cotton for over a year, literally. I think it was included in my prize package for my first Project Modern Challenge win. So I set forth to start a quilt with it, with the goal to have it finished and ready to go by this weekend. Can I do it? Let's hope so!
So, I started sewing the strips together, in the order that they were arranged in on the roll, starting with the pink and working through the entire rainbow. I used every color except the white and the gray. It came together pretty quickly, and I didn't even use any pins during the construction, which is quite a feat for me! I usually pin everything, and it was honestly a little liberating to work this way. Since quality construction is very important to me, I took it slow, but with the precise cutting of the jelly roll strips, it really wasn't an issue at all.
I just kept building the rows, one by one...
and this is what I had by yesterday morning.
I finished the rainbow yesterday afternoon. And I usually press as I go too, but not this time. I pressed all the seams open at the end, while listening to the Punch Brothers on Pandora (thank you, Sarah!).
I added some white to either side of my rainbow and drew some preliminary quilting lines on with a pencil it last night after I finished the top.
I made a really simple back in pale gray.
And I'm using Pellon's Legacy Premier 100% Natural Cotton batting, which I'm excited to try.
And then I started basting, although I have to admit that I would occasionally just stop and look at all of those gorgeous colors together.
This little guy also wanted to help...
Quilting is up next, and I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Few in Kenya's media could comprehend how a media bill, considered the most repressive in Kenya's 50-year history, could sail so easily through Parliament last week. Fittingly, Parliament passed the Kenya Information and Communications Amendment Bill on Halloween. It is awaiting President Uhuru Kenyatta's signature following a 14- day deliberation period.
The bill, compared in local editorials with South Africa's oppressive, apartheid-era press laws, allows the government total control over a media ombudsman and sets exorbitant fines designed to silence offending journalists and entire media houses alike. If induced self-censorship is not enough, the stringent programming and advertising requirements the bill imposes would ensure the closure of Kenya's media outlets. "No media house, not even K24, which is owned by the president, could survive under this bill's requirements," the deputy chairman of Kenya's Editors' Guild, David Ohito, told me.
The bill creates a government-appointed Communications and Multimedia Appeals Tribunal, which will take over the work of the former Complaints Commission of the independent Media Council. There is no requirement that the tribunal include any journalist, according to news reports. The proposed tribunal came as a shock to local media players, since it was not in the gazetted version of the bill but was introduced on the floor of the House last week during its third reading, local journalists said.
Under the bill, an anonymous complaint may be lodged whereby a journalist found to be wayward could be fined a staggering 1 million Kenyan shillings (US$2,000) and a media house 20 million Kenyan shillings (US$35,000). Even worse, authorities can withdraw a journalists' accreditation and seize any property or other assets to cover the fine. According to the Daily Nation's legal expert, Sekou Owino, with the exception of drug offences, there is no other law that empowers an authority to levy so great a fine. "Given that Kenyan media houses make on average 1.2 million Kenyan shillings per year, all would go under [with this bill]," Ohito added.
If a journalist wrote a critical story against an official, that same official could file an anonymous complaint to an impartial government tribunal who could then blacklist and fine the journalist into silence. "As a journalist, the greatest discouragement of covering a story is the financial implications," Nationreporter Aggrey Mutambo told me. If the bill was active, stories Aggrey wrote last year involving graft at the Education Ministry and at Kenya's embassy in Japan would have never seen the light of day, he says. Kisumu-based Star and Kiss FM correspondent Sammy Otieno believes a mass exodus from the profession would occur if the bill passes in its current form. "No one will ever attempt investigative journalism under this bill. It is indirectly telling people not to join the profession," he told me.
The Kenya Information and Communications Bill also requires 60 percent local content from the media and 45 percent local advertisement revenues. While no one objects to the concept of encouraging more Kenyan-made programming, the requirements are unsustainable. "Local content is more costly to produce," said Henry Maina, East Africa director of the press freedom organization Article 19. The popular broadcaster Citizen, for instance, leads the way with 18 percent local content, Maina added. "Somehow [under this law] Citizen would be expected to triple this in 21 days. Not even the public broadcaster KBC (Kenya Broadcasting Corporation) could survive."
Many local journalists I spoke to believe the parliamentarians, who passed the bill in 30 minutes with a minimum in attendance, simply had not properly thought through the bill's implications. Fortunately, President Kenyatta and Information Cabinet Secretary Francis Matiang'i have assured the press more review will take place before it is signed into law. But the space for free expression is still shrinking. According to news reports, Parliament, using sweeping terminology, is set to amend another media bill, the Media Council Bill, to allow the government absolute powers to ban media houses for anything "prejudicial to public interest or national interest," amongst other terms. Another piece of legislation, the Miscellaneous Amendment Bill 2013, which came hot on the heels of the Information Bill, would severely cut access to foreign funding for non-profit organizations, according to news reports. The bill resembles that passed in Ethiopia in February 2009, the Charities and Societies Proclamation, which effectively curtailed all civil society activities, Maina said.
Opinions are divided as to whether the Kenyan press will be able to counter such legislative threats. The press vocally protested the Kenya Information and Communications Bill and twitter hashtags, such as #MediaGag, echoed citizen's objections. But others believe the press has abdicated its watchdog role, allowing such repressive legislation to emerge. "It was long coming," one tweet read after the bill was passed, "The media went to bed with the government and the pregnancy is out."
Even if the media and civil society manage to lobby successfully against passage of this retrogressive legislation, its swift parliamentary passage leaves a clear warning. In neighboring Tanzania, 17 anti-press laws remain on the books, according to CPJ research, although they are rarely used. "They don't have to be," said Theophil Makunga, group managing editor of Tanzania's leading daily Mwananchi. "Just the fact they are on the books scares the press into silence." Similarly, repressive bills such as the Kenya Information and Communications Amendment Bill send a chilling message to reporters and the public alike: criticize us and we'll unleash this one on you. If the Kenyan press is to survive such threats, a unified, politically impartial press corps will need to be in place as witnessed during the press' protests in 2007 against an amendment to the 2005 Media Act that would have compelled editors to reveal their sources.

Speed-of-light results under scrutiny at Cern
By Jason Palmer
Science and technology reporter, BBC News
A meeting at Cern, the world's largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light.
The team presented its work so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes.
If it does not, one of the pillars of modern science will come tumbling down.
Antonio Ereditato added "words of caution" to his Cern presentation because of the "potentially great impact on physics" of the result.
The speed of light is widely held to be the Universe's ultimate speed limit, and much of modern physics - as laid out in part by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity - depends on the idea that nothing can exceed it.
Continue reading the main story.
Thousands of experiments have been undertaken to measure it ever more precisely, and no result has ever spotted a particle breaking the limit.
"We tried to find all possible explanations for this," the report's author Antonio Ereditato of the Opera collaboration told BBC News on Thursday evening.
"We wanted to find a mistake - trivial mistakes, more complicated mistakes, or nasty effects - and we didn't.
"When you don't find anything, then you say 'well, now I'm forced to go out and ask the community to scrutinise this'."
Friday's meeting was designed to begin this process, with hopes that other scientists will find inconsistencies in the measurements and, hopefully, repeat the experiment elsewhere.
"Despite the large [statistical] significance of this measurement that you have seen and the stability of the analysis, since it has a potentially great impact on physics, this motivates the continuation of our studies in order to find still-unknown systematic effects," Dr Ereditato told the meeting.
"We look forward to independent measurement from other experiments."
Neutrinos come in a number of types, and have recently been seen to switch spontaneously from one type to another.
The Cern team prepares a beam of just one type, muon neutrinos, and sends them through the Earth to an underground laboratory at Gran Sasso in Italy to see how many show up as a different type, tau neutrinos.
In the course of doing the experiments, the researchers noticed that the particles showed up 60 billionths of a second earlier than they would have done if they had travelled at the speed of light.
This is a tiny fractional change - just 20 parts in a million - but one that occurs consistently.
The team measured the travel times of neutrino bunches some 16,000 times, and have reached a level of statistical significance that in scientific circles would count as a formal discovery.
But the group understands that what are known as "systematic errors" could easily make an erroneous result look like a breaking of the ultimate speed limit.
That has motivated them to publish their measurements.
"My dream would be that another, independent experiment finds the same thing - then I would be relieved," Dr Ereditato told BBC News.
But for now, he explained, "we are not claiming things, we want just to be helped by the community in understanding our crazy result - because it is crazy".

Jennifer Lawrence Grabs FHM's Title of 'Sexiest Woman in the World 2014′
Let's give a round of applause for Jennifer Lawrence, who is continuing her unstoppable winning streak with the new title of 'Sexiest Woman in the World' from FHM.
The 23-year-old actress took the top spot on this year's list after making an incredible jump from her position at No. 20 in 2013. She's got big fans at FHM, who called her "so freaking awesome." Can't argue with that!
FHM's 100 Sexiest editor Dan Jude released a statement praising the 'Hunger Games' star (quote via NY Daily News), "Congratulations to Jennifer on landing the number one spot. She's run away with the title this year and it's no great surprise."
The mag shared some of the reasoning behind their choice, citing one part as her ability to boldly rock her short hair. Another reason was her funny admission that Jack Nicholson sent flowers and champagne as an apology for interrupting one of her 2013 Oscar interviews.
"Men the world over have fallen in love with her kooky charm," Jude explained.
The blonde beauty beat out many big names for the crown, including runners-up Michelle Keegan (a British actress) and Rihanna. The publication also featured the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Kendall Jenner. It's amazing FHM could pick a winner at all, considering all of the gorgeous ladies on the list!
J. Law has lots of worthy past winners to keep her company, including last year's No. 1, Mila Kunis, as well as Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, and Keira Knightley.
Congrats on another win, Jennifer!

Weekly wire: The global forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Protecting Journalism Sources in the Digital Age
While the rapidly emerging digital environment offers great opportunities for journalists to investigate and report information in the public interest, it also poses particular challenges regarding the privacy and safety of journalistic sources. These challenges include: mass surveillance as well as targeted surveillance, data retention, expanded and broad antiterrorism measures, and national security laws and over-reach in the application of these. All these can undermine the confidentiality protection of those who collaborate with journalists, and who are essential for revealing sensitive information in the public interest but who could expose themselves to serious risks and pressures. The effect is also to chill whistleblowing and thereby undermine public access to information and the democratic role of the media. In turn, this jeopardizes the sustainability of quality journalism.
Everything We Knew About Sweatshops Was Wrong
New York Times
In the 1990s, Americans learned more about the appalling conditions at the factories where our sneakers and T-shirts were made, and opposition to sweatshops surged. But some economists pushed back. For them, the wages and conditions in sweatshops might be appalling, but they are an improvement on people's less visible rural poverty. As the economist Joan Robinson said, "The misery of being exploited by capitalists is nothing compared to the misery of not being exploited at all." Textbook economics offers two reasons factory jobs can be "an escalator out of poverty." First, a booming industrial sector should raise wages over time. Second, boom or not, factory jobs might be better than the alternatives: Unlike agriculture or informal market selling, these factories pay a steady wage, and if workers gained skills valued by the market, they might earn higher wages. Factories may also have incentives to pay more than agricultural or informal market work to persuade workers to stay and be productive. Expecting to prove the experts right, we went to Ethiopia and — working with the Innovations for Poverty Action and the Ethiopian Development Research Institute — performed the first randomized trial of industrial employment on workers. Little did we anticipate that everything we believed would turn out to be wrong.
