RMEF Awards $310,000 For Washington Elk Projects
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation awarded $309,735 in grant funding to benefit elk and elk habitat in Washington.
"Noxious weeds and overly dense forests continue to choke out quality forage for elk and other wildlife. The majority of these 2019 habitat stewardship projects tackle these issues head-on," said Blake Henning, RMEF chief conservation officer. "We also designated funding for scientific research to monitor the potential impact habitat modification has on predator-prey interactions."
Seventeen projects positively impact more than 4,000 acres of wildlife habitat in Asotin, Columbia, Cowlitz, Ferry, Garfield, Kittitas, Lewis, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Skamania, Stevens and Yakima Counties.
Washington is home to more than 15,000 RMEF members and 25 chapters.
"We can't say enough about our dedicated volunteers," said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. "They generate revenue by hosting banquets, membership drives and other events that goes back on the ground in Washington and around the country to benefit our conservation mission."
Since 1985, RMEF and its partners completed 661 conservation and hunting heritage outreach projects in Washington with a combined value of more than $122.6 million. These projects protected or enhanced 479,785 acres of habitat and opened or improved public access to 125,245 acres.
Below is a listing of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's 2019 grants for the state of Washington.
Asotin County
- Apply noxious weed treatment across 225 acres of public and private land to prevent the spread of rush skeletonweed, whitetop, spotted knapweed, hawkweeds and sulfur cinquefoil. RMEF supported the Asotin County weed control program since 2007.
- Apply noxious weed treatment across 300 acres of Bureau of Land Management and private lands within the Lower Grande Ronde River drainages. The area provides prime habitat for fish, big game and native wildlife.
- Apply noxious weed treatment across 500 acres within the Chief Joseph and W. T. Wooten Wildlife Areas where invasive weeds are a significant issue (also benefits Garfield and Columbia Counties).
Cowlitz County
- Plant a variety of species within patches 3 to 10 acres in size, covering 60 total acres, to diversify elk and other wildlife habitat on the Mount St. Helens Wildlife Area.
- Apply lime and fertilizer followed by planting trees, shrubs and a grass seed mix across 200 acres in the Toutle River Valley, home to the highest winter concentration of elk near Mount Saint Helen's.
- Treat noxious weeds across 150 acres within the Mount St. Helens Wildlife Area and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument (also benefits Skamania County).
Kittitas County
- Restore 732 acres within the 2018 Milepost 22 Wildfire burn zone that charred the L. T. Murray Wildlife Area, home to year-round winter habitat for elk and other wildlife. Crews will use both an aerial and ground-based approach to treat a potential noxious weed outbreak.
Lewis County
- Provide funding for research on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to monitor how and where elk seek and find forage in areas where timber production takes place. Results will inform managers of the potential role for variable density thinning in providing elk foraging habitat on the west slope of the Washington Cascades.
Okanogan County
- Provide funding for the Mid Valley Archers Memorial Day Shoot, a family-friendly event focused on providing instruction and fun for archers of all ages.
- Provide funding for the annual Bonaparte Lake Kid's Fishing Day (also benefits Ferry County).
Pend Oreille County
- Thin seedlings and small pole-sized trees from 33 acres of dense conifer stands in the Indian Creek watershed on the Colville National Forest. The area is winter and year-long range for the Selkirk elk herd.
Skamania County
- Treat 1,215 acres of meadows and adjacent roads/right-of-ways on the south end of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. These meadows provide vital forage for the Mount St. Helens elk herd.
- Transform six acres of mid-successional forest within the Upper Lewis River watershed into a grassy meadow to provide forage for big game species.
Stevens County
- Provide funding for scientific research to conduct vegetation surveys across elk habitat that intersects with wolf range. Scientists will pair that information with elk movement and survivorship data to determine how human modifications of the landscape influence elk (also benefits Pend Oreille County).
Yakima County
- Thin 426 acres on the Oak Creek Wildlife Area to promote high quality habitat for elk and other wildlife.
- Restore native grasses and forbs to an estimated 350 acres on the Wenas Wildlife Area that was affected by the 2018 Buffalo Wildfire. Crews will apply noxious weed treatment followed by seeding.
- Provide funding for the Kamiakin Roving Archers, a youth archery development league participant, to purchase archery supplies for the upcoming season. The program provides shooting instruction and training on archery equipment with an emphasis on safety and responsibility.

Accura is one of Denmark's leading advisors in outsourcing, including business process outsourcing (BPO).
In October 2018 Accura was recognized as "Outsourcing Law Firm of the Year in Denmark" by Corporate Intl. Magazine for the sixth year running. The recognition is awarded primarily due to feedback from and interviews with legal partners, management and in-house counsel of Danish and international public and private businesses and the readership of Corporate Intl. Magazine.
Furthermore, Accura has been recognized as "Outsourcing Law Firm of the Year - Denmark" in 2017, 2018 and 2019 by The Global 100 due to our involvement in the largest and most complex cases in the industry, as well as "Outsourcing Firm of the Year 2018" awarded by Corporate LiveWire.
In recent years, we have assisted listed and non-listed companies, banks, pension funds and trade unions in connection with outsourcing projects from small defined projects to cross-border projects covering a wide range of countries, and we have assisted in connection with the majority of the existing BPO projects for offshoring of financial and accounting functions.
Outsourcing is a discipline that requires skills and experience in process management and the handling of complex contractual regulation. We mainly focus on interdisciplinary discussions of the business case, ensuring efficient and safe management of the process so that the contract especially supports the reduction of risks and the optimisation of the potential efficiency gains.
Depending on the legal or business requirements to which the customer's or supplier's outsourcing project is subject, the project is either completed in a formal tender process – subject to the procurement rules or just similar principles – or in a dedicated negotiation process between the two parties, possibly after obtaining comparable commercial key terms from the market in a structured benchmark process.
Our team consists of experienced specialist lawyers, several of which also have financial backgrounds and in-house experience with customers as well as several of the leading IT and outsourcing suppliers. This ensures that we have a balanced and updated knowledge about specific solutions and market standards.
Typical examples of advice regarding outsourcing concerns:
Accura has one of the largest specialist groups within IT law.
Several of our legal specialists also have finansial backgrounds, and in-house experience from several of the largest IT suppliers and customers. Based on our industry knowledge and updated insight into the available business models and terms, we have a long track record of successful negotiations, where the legal risk is mitigated while the commercial efficiency gains with respect to both the direct price and the contract adjustment mechanisms.
Our specialist team has experience in advising and negotiating of all types of IT contracts and is able to manage and plan the procurement processes to achieve the most favourable legal and commercial outcome for both private customers and customers who are subject to the procurement rules.
Our specialists mainly provide legal services within the following areas:
As a result of the technological development, new products are increasingly complex, and the intellectual property rights related to both the final product and the production methods are spread between many parties. This imposes very high demands on the contractual regulation throughout the value chain from idea to the final product.
Our specialists have in-depth experience with the drafting and negotiation of rights-based agreements, which require thorough understanding of the technology and the commercial framework are essential requirements in order to achieve an expedient regulation for our customers.
Typical agreements that we provide advice on:
Accura has been recognized "Technology Law Firm of the Year in Denmark - 2020" by Corporate Intl. Magazine.
The recognition is awarded primarily due to feedback from and interviews with legal partners, management and in-house counsel of Danish and international public and private businesses and the readership of Corporate Intl. Magazine.
For many years, Accura has assisted both telecoms operators and some of the world's largest providers of telecommunications services. Therefore, we have obtained experience in both regulatory advice and communication with the authorities in relation to telecommunications and broadcasting, as well as the special contracts within the telecommunications industry.
Typical examples of advice:
Personal data law has been the subject of increased focus in recent years, particularly because of the technological development resulting in an increase in the registration and processing of personal data. This focus is likely to continue in future, in particular also due to expected changes at EU level, including increased level of sanctions for non-compliance. In addition, data protection law poses certain challenges to the use of technological solutions such as cloud and the use of big data which in future is likely to be used to an even greater extent than today.
Our data protection law experts have experience in advising on virtually all aspects of data protection law, including special rules and special legislation in particular concerning trade unions, the health and financial sectors as well as links to the restrictions set out in the Marketing Practices Act on the use of customer data.
Typical examples of our legal advice on data protection law concern:
In addition, our advice often concerns the processing of personal data across countries in different legal systems, e.g. in connection with e-commerce and outsourcing.

Picasso's extraordinary work a picture on which it represented the mistress and a muse, Mari-Theresa Walter, was exposed earlier in the United States only once, in 1961 in Los Angeles, in day when 80 years since the birth of Pablo Picasso were executed. The picture, which sizes slightly more than 150 centimeters at width and 120 in height, represents a lying naked figure and the artist looking at it.
Earlier the picture belonged to the Californian patron, nowadays to the dead Frensis Lasker Brody (Frances Lasker Brody) which got Picasso's work in the 1950th. Since then the picture was stored in her family.
The part of the means obtained at auction, will go to advantage of Hantingtonsky library of the Museum of works of art and the botanical garden, located in San Marino in California. Itself Brody took active part in life of this establishment.

Study Reveals Positive Effects of Ketamine to Treat Depression
- Updated: April 4, 2014
There are many patients around the world that suffer depression related problems and therefore drugmakers around the world are busy searching for better anti-depressants that can work wonders. Ketamine has always been used for human anesthetics and veterinary medicine, but as per a new study ketamine can also be used to treat depression. As per this new study in the United Kingdom researchers have conducted their first trial and have discovered that ketamine certainly has the power to resolve depression related issues.
The researchers also claim that ketamine has been used illegally in the country for killing depression and therefore they have gone ahead with the study. For this study, researchers recruited around 28 patients who have been suffering from incurable depression. Some of the patients were in depression for more than two decades. These patients were then provided with six doses of drug for a span of three weeks and each drug infusion lasted for 40 minutes. After the drug was administered participants went through a memory test and they also had to go through report where they mention each day's symptoms through text and email.
The study claims that eight patients experienced improvements in their depressive symptoms and that they no longer belonged to the depressed group. It was also found that some of the patients responded to the drug in just few hours and they were feeling better. However, there are few side effects as well that have to be resolved before patients switch to ketamine for combating depression.

Finally, the end of the session will focus on the manipulation of parametric functions (integrals; derivatives; arclength; curvature; torsion; radius of curvature T/B/N etc). You should be familiar with the definitions and their basic application. This session is a great way to refresh on the first half of the class in 3h so you can focus on the multivariable content. *Discounts available, see below for details. Register on the Math 222 or Math 262 pages.
Mastery 2: Partial Diff, Multivariate Chain Rule, Implicit Diff & Applications
Saturday Dec. 13th, 1:00-4:00pm (M3-37A; $60*): in this second three hour session, we'll shift into genuine multivariable mode: looking at exam-level chain-rule and implicit diff questions as well as applications of partial differentiation, including finding tangent planes; linearization; identifying critical points of a multivariate function and classifying the extrema of bivariate functions. As with all mastery sessions, the emphasis will be placed on solving exam-level examples and basic familiarity with the theory is assumed. *Discounts available, see below for details. Register on the Math 222 or Math 262 pages.
Mastery 3: Constrained Optimization (Lagrange) and Multiple Integrals
Sunday Dec. 14th, 5-8pm (M3-37A; $60*): in this third three hour session, we'll look at exam-level constraint problems requiring the method of Lagrange multipliers, with an emphasis on solving the associated non-linear system of equations (many examples will be provided to help with this process). The rest of the session will focus on multiple integrals requiring iterative methods or change of variable & applications thereof. Emphasis will be placed on advanced exam-level problems. Be sure to know how to compute the Jacobian of a change of coordinates, assuming the substitution is provide. Familiarity with polar coordinates is very helpful. *Discounts available, see below for details. Register on the Math 222 or Math 262 pages.
Mastery 4: Full Review – Mock Exam
Monday Dec. 15th, 4-7pm (M3-37A; $60): This last session will attempt to recreate some of the stress of the exam by presenting you with a mock final in an exam-like setting. Some of the stress of your exam will be approximated by providing an insufficient amount of time to solve the questions, where your goal will be to identify the correct method and setup the appropriate equations and/or anticipate the general form of the solution; we will then solve the questions together. Questions will not be grouped by theory nor content, but will reflect the realistic structure of the exam. Additional variations on each question may be provided, where needed, to help you practice sections that proved most challenging. *Discounts available, see below for details. Register on the Math 222 or Math 262 pages.

Julian Philips
Riverside Studios, London W6
Robert Thicknesse
Opera Now March 2013
The new annual commission by W11 Opera, inaugurating the fifth decade of this marvellous company for young people, was performed at Riverside Studios with rather less conviction than usual: like the posh-school play you always fear but W11 nearly always transcends. The subject of Good Intentions, by Julian Philips and Simon Christmas, was a promising one with a sturdy operatic pedigree, the twist being that this Faustian journey was undertaken by children.
It's an attractive score, much of it in a sort of jazz/showtune pastiche, with some nice spooky violin writing added and an ear for the possibilities of the small W11 band, conducted with zest by Philip Sunderland, who also accomplished the annual miracle of keeping 80 performers together from somewhere off to the side of the stage. But the score lacked flow; bitty and relying too much on the threefold repetition of episodes, ten minutes edited from it would have improved things plenty.
The message was surprisingly reactionary, tracing young Joanna's journey from pushy young do-gooder to world-weary acceptance that you can't make people be good. Simon Christmas's sparky libretto characterised the frightful sub-groups of the classroom brilliantly, Olivia Hugh-Jones played earnest Joanna with conviction, and Annabel Omole had a lot of fun as Mephisto
W11 Opera for Young People presents a new opera 'Good Intentions'
Kensington & Chelsea Today
Friday, 7th December 2012
W11 Opera for Young People presents Good Intentions, a new opera by Julian Philips, with a libretto by Simon Christmas.
Performances will be held on Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 December 2012 at 3.30pm & 7.00pm
The first-ever Composer in Residence at Glyndebourne, Philips has been commissioned by W11 to write the score for this funny, poignant and modern Faustian tale, which will be performed by a cast of over 80 young people.
This new opera, set in a school, follows a group of children on a journey to hell and back. Faced with temptation and dilemma, they are teased by the lure of instant popularity, celebrity status and gratification of buying brands.
With a witty libretto by Simon Christmas, this opera explores issues around being young today. Philips was commissioned to write a new full-length opera in 2010, Knight Crew, providing an unprecedented opportunity for young performers and community groups to take part in a Glyndebourne production. Knight Crew received critical acclaim following its premiere run in March 2010; BBC Television filmed the development of it and a new series, Gareth goes to Glyndebourne, was aired in June 2010, which won an International Emmy® in November 2011.
This new opera highlights W11's commitment to commissioning new compositions from exciting talent. With its energetic young cast, W11 Opera has a strong community base.
For many it is their first introduction to music theatre of any kind. Over 40 years more than two thousand children have appeared in 33 brand new commissions. The W11 Opera experience proved inspirational for Eve Best and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, now patrons of the company.
More recent W11 cast members include Celine Buckens (Emilie in Stephen Spielberg's War Horse) and Jonathan Antoine (Runner-Up in Britain's Got Talent 2012). W11 Opera is also an invaluable showcase for composers. It is proud to commission composers who have had successful careers in world of contemporary music such as George Fenton, Karl Jenkins, Cecilia McDowall and Julian Grant and it seeks to be a platform for young composers.

Lady Jane Grey is arguably one of the most recognizable names in Tudor history because of her tragic downfall, but there is so much more to this young lady than her death. In this article we'll look at her lineage, a brief look into her childhood and her time spent with Thomas Seymour.
Jane's Lineage
King Henry VIII's favorite sister was notably his younger sister, Mary. When Henry became King of England one of his most important duties was to arrange political alliances with other countries. To forge an alliance with France, his sister Mary was married to King Louis XII of France in 1514. His elder sister, Margaret became Queen of Scotland while their father, Henry VII was still alive – that too was to forge an alliance with Scotland and King James IV. After all, that was fate of a princess of England.
Louis XII of France passed away not long after he and Mary were married. After his death she became dowager queen of France. In a scandalous manner, prior to traveling back to England, she secretly married Henry VIII's best friend, Charles Brandon. Henry was very upset about the union since it happened without his consent however, he eventually got over it and welcomed the couple back to court.
Mary and Charles had four children together, two sons and two daughter. The eldest daughter, Frances, obtained the title Duchess of Suffolk when she married Henry Grey. The title had reverted to the crown when her brothers died but her husband received it upon their marriage since she was the next in line to inherit it. But she was a woman and couldn't hold it on her own.
Frances and Henry had three daughters: Jane, Catherine and Mary Grey.
First Ten Years
I have read in several places that Frances and Henry Grey weren't the most loving parents. That they'd sooner ship their children away then spend any time with them. While this isn't necessarily unusual for a Tudor royal, it explains why Jane so easily attached herself to those parental figures who showed her attention. As you'll see below from her letter to Seymour.
Here's a quick synopsis of her childhood:
The first ten years of Jane's life, from her birth in October 1537 (the exact date is not known) to her residence in Katharine Parr's household in 1547, are not documented. It is likely she received the typical upper-class girl's education – its primary emphasis would be on instilling good manners and the 'feminine' virtues of obedience and docility. She undoubtedly learned needlework and was taught dancing and how to play some musical instruments. – EnglishHistory.net
Ward of the Lord Admiral
Sometime in 1548, after she had already been living in the household of Katherine Parr to 'acquire polish and learn social graces, a common practice for daughters of the nobility', Lady Jane Grey's wardship was sold by her father to Lord Admiral, Thomas Seymour. This was sometime prior to September 1548 because Katherine Parr was still alive.
The desire for Seymour to own the wardship of Lady Jane Grey was decided because she was named in Henry VIII's line of succession – albeit a few names down the list, her social standing greatly increased upon being named. In the agreement Jane's father, Henry Grey, claimed that Seymour had promised to marry his daughter to the Lord Admiral's nephew, Edward VI.
Only a few months after her arrival, Seymour married the dowager queen, Katherine Parr. Indeed a very notable marriage for him. Whether or not he truly loved Katherine is unknown but it appears she truly cared for him.
It was merely a year later that Katherine Parr passed away after giving birth to their only child, Mary.
At the funeral of Katherine Parr, the still very young Jane was a chief mourner of the dowager queen.
Seymour had always been a very ambitious man. We know he proposed to Elizabeth Tudor to advance his status, what was to stop him from doing the same with Jane? Jane was merely 11 or 12 years old in 1548, so still fairly young for marriage. Is that the reason why her parents requested she be returned to them? Did they fear Seymour's ambitions with their daughter?
The Letter
Jane's parents were definitely worried that their daughter had not yet married Edward VI, and they wished for her wardship with Seymour to end. Seymour, on the other hand, wanted to keep her near because she was a chess piece to him. Her parents claimed that since Katherine had died that her household should have broken up, however, Seymour owned the wardship of their daughter and stated that all was well and his mother would be moving in and resuming the household duties as his late wife had done. Eventually Seymour changed his tune and allowed Jane to go home for a visit. It appears that is when she wrote the below letter.
By the time this letter was written in October 1548, Lady Jane Grey was around 11 or 12 years old. Seymour had always been a very ambitious man. We know he proposed to Lady Elizabeth Tudor in an attempt to advance his status, what was to stop him from doing the same with Jane? Jane was merely a child in 1548, and still fairly young for marriage. Is that the reason why her parents requested she be returned to them? Did they fear Seymour's ambitions with their daughter?
Addressed: To the Right Honourable and my singular good lord, the Lord Admiral, give these
My duty to your lordship in most humble wise remembered, with no less thanks for the gentle letters which I received from you.
Thinking myself so much bound to your lordship for your great goodness towards me from time to time that I cannot by any means be able to recompense the least part thereof, I purposed to write a few rude lines unto your lordship, rather as a token to show how much worthier I think your lordship's goodness, than to give worthy thanks for the same; and these, my letters, shall be to testify unto you that, like as you have become towards me a loving and kind father, so I shall be always most ready to obey your godly monitions and good instructions, as becometh on upon whom you have heaped so many benefits. And thus, fearing lest I should trouble your lordship too much, I most humbly take my leave of your good lordship.
Your humble servant, during my life,
Jane Gray
Endorsed: "My Lady Jane, 1st October 1548"
After her visit home Jane returned to the household of Thomas Seymour, however it didn't last long because Seymour was arrested for treason – his bid for power eventually caught up with him in January 1549. Seymour broke into the residence of his nephew, Edward VI, at Hampton Court. When he did so it allegedly startled the King's dog who then barked. In order to quiet the dog he allegedly shot it which alerted a guard who then arrested him. I say allegedly because the murder of the King's dog could have been staged to further implicate Seymour.
Ultimately, Thomas Seymour was executed a few months later when Edward VI signed his death warrant.

Sequencing of 16S rRNA genes directly from environmental samples has revolutionized our understanding of microbial diversity and provided valuable insights into the ecological roles of microbial communities. In this work we consider the influence of spatial proximity and environmental factors on the diversity of microbial communities. Specifically, we analyzed 15 samples from the Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) project which are situated along the Atlantic seaboard at an average interval of 320 km [1].
We characterize differences in microbial communities using two distinct diversity measures: the Bray-Curtis index (BCI) [2] which quantifies differences in taxon-level structures and the unique fraction (UniFrac) measure [3] which considers the amount of divergent evolution that has occurred between communities. Patterns in the relationships between microbial communities imply factors influencing microbial diversity.
Identifying factors which contribute to microbial diversity is of fundamental ecological importance and critical for implementing proper conservation measures. Substantial research effort has been allocated to this problem and our work is directly influenced by:
- Fuhrman et al. [4] who identified a latitudinal cline where the richness of marine microbial communities is inversely correlated with latitude
- Lozupone et al. [5] who identified salinity as being a major environmental factor in determining microbial community composition
We divided the 15 Atlantic seaboard samples into 4 environment types as specified by metadata provided with the GOS dataset. Of the 15 samples, 4 are identified as non-coastal samples. Three of these were identified as estuary samples. However, we have separated the Bay of Fundy estuary sample from the other estuary samples as its salinity content is more indicative of a costal environment. The other non-coastal sample is from the Halifax Harbour embayment which is of particular interest since the water in the harbour is well-known to be polluted.
We found no evidence supporting an Atlantic seaboard cline regardless of whether differences between microbial communities are characterized by taxon-level differences (BCI) or evolutionary divergence (UniFrac). More generally, in our dataset where the distance between samples is on the order of several hundred kilometers, we found no correlation between spatial proximity and community composition. It would be interesting to investigate at what scale community composition and spatial proximity begin to strongly correlate.
The hypothesis that salinity is a major determinant of microbial community composition is strongly supported by our results. We also found limited evidence suggesting that pollution can influence the composition of a microbial community and recommend continued research be performed to further support this hypothesis. These conclusions are supported by both our weighted UniFrac analysis and our BCI analysis for all taxonomical ranks from and including class to genus.

Gold In Your Drawers
Sometimes we have to look in the mirror and shake our heads in wonder. The person in the reflection doesn't look as dumb as they feel, but it is hard to argue with facts.
I've looked for clues to aid in the quest to find of one of my ancestors for years. The results were always the same. Nothing. I've reread my research notes, rethought my research strategy and recommitted it to writing. The new plan required plotting possible migration routes of my ancestors, deep delving into the Family History Library Catalog and subsequent printing of dozens of pages of source materials that need to be explored at the library. A hand clasp binder is sitting on my desk bulging with these pages, group sheets, summaries of old research activities and the new plan.
I won't need most of them now. One last reading of a page that I'd photocopied over a generation ago resolved much of the issue. I had to reread it four or five times to believe what I was seeing. I even suspected that it was a 'new' page that someone had slipped in to my file. Surely, I couldn't have missed that brief sentence so many times ….. but of course I had.
We are creatures of habit. We form impressions that often eclipse reality. I remember reading the document on a microfilm reader when I first found it. I took notes from the page and even traced some of the hard to read writing on the page that day. I've probably looked at the page and the photocopy of the microfilm page a hundred times since then but my mind knew what it contained, and hence, the little sentence was apparently ignored, skipped or had become invisible to my mind.
How often have you reread your old research notes and reviewed the documents you've collected in your own ancestral quest? If you haven't used a fine tooth comb review of them lately, make an entry on your calendar to look through them again. Mine them for hidden Gold.
Perhaps we have to turn the paper 50 degrees side to side to see something new. Personally, I've found that reading the data out loud is the best method to restart my frozen cognitive research review process. My ears hear information that the lobes of my brain used for reading seem to obscure.
Give it a try. You'll probably find real treasures in your papers. Treasures that you've owned for years. Treasures that may open new windows in your quest.
Once you have finished your perusal and have then settled down enough to stop exclaiming your wahoo's (and some of the grin off has melted off your face), walk to the bathroom, turn on the light and take a good look at the clueless person who is staring back at you. Do they look any smarter now?
Lesson learned. Go a little slower. Review frequently. Look at the data through a different window. Gold. There is Gold in there!
Recording Life ~ Fishing
My father had a unique skill in interpersonal relationships. Without selling someone something they didn't want, he could nonetheless divert their objections as if he was Obi-Wan in the Star Wars movie.
The power company needed to install a new feeder circuit in a fast growing city in Utah. Everyone wanted the power for their homes, offices and stores but none of them wanted the power lines necessary to provide that service. Frustrated with months of fruitless conversations, public meetings and incentives, the district manager responsible for the city turned to my father.
"Elwood, I'm taking you out of your position as foreman and am giving you a car, line plans and little if no money." "Go get the right-of-way we have to have to upgrade that feeder circuit before the whole south end of the city goes black!"
Great! An assignment that had stymied numerous 'professional' right-of-way agents, management and even high level city officials. "Get the right-of-way". "Much of the city will be in a permanent blackout by July – three months away." "You have little money to spend." In those days, little money was the $100 contingent fund in district offices. Management authorized their district managers to spend up to that amount without having to go through an arduous budget hearing.
Opening the rusted trunk lock on the 1962 Ford, he placed a bucket full of wood stakes, wood lathe, fluorescent marking tape and a hammer inside. A puff of smoke always followed the vehicle when a foot pressed the accelerator. Two hundred plus thousand miles of start, stop, idling city driving will cause that problem in a meter reading vehicle.
Within three weeks, Dad's uniquely calm reasoning had awaken the common sense in all but one property owner along the route. He hadn't approached the old man yet. Having heard the stories by the legions who had preceded him in the quest, he opted to resolve the issue last and with finality.
Wearing his normal tan Dickie work shirt, shrink-to-fit Levi's with rolled up cuffs, work boots and a shirt pocket full of pens, pencils and a plastic template, he told the old man answering the door that he was there to finish driving the last stake in place before construction started the next morning. The old man shouted, "What power pole on my property?" "You aren't doing anything on my property!"
Giving the old man a look of pity just as you would to a dunce and with a slight shake of the head, Dad pointed to the four foot tall lathe with four six-foot-long tails of fluttering survey tape centered in front of the man's living room window. "It's going in there." "We'll be here at 7:00 a.m. and I just wanted to let you know to not sleep in tomorrow."
Sleep in? The old codger probably hadn't slept past 6 a.m. in his life. Dad knew he was always up working around his house or yard shortly after 5:00 a.m. every morning.
With his hands on his hips, Dad looked at the stake then up at the living room window and back again at the stake. Shaking his head, he unrolled maps. "I'd have put it a little that way – closer to the house if I'd have designed the job, but it looks like one of the engineers has definitely taken your view into consideration."
"What?" "A pole in front of my window is taking my view into consideration?" "Are they crazy?" Commiserating with the old man, Dad agreed that a fifty foot tall pole was hard to interpret as a window even with the best imagination, but that's what Dad's ink dot on the plans said … "See?" "Don't worry, the auger on the truck is only 28" wide. In this rocky soil, the hole will get bigger as it bounces around, but it shouldn't end up being much over four feet wide when we're done."
You know the rest of the story. After ten minutes of arguing, Dad let the man move the lathe stake to the fence line and pound it in the ground — right where he wanted it when he arrived that morning.
Turning to leave, he heard the old man say, "See. You can't push me around. I'm a better negotiator than all of you". Yep. Dad had brought out the best common sense negotiation skills from the old man.
Flash back to the early 1950's. A stream fisher all of his life, he frequented the hard to access streams where the big fish lived. The Ute Indian Reservation in eastern Utah includes the south slope of the Uintah Mountains. Rock Creek was a favorite stream for serious fishermen but it was both expensive to fish because of the fees associated with the permit and the permit restrictions themselves.
A fishing trip was needed. If you stayed just a little to the west, there were excellent streams to fish. The old Plymouth and LaFayette were loaded with tents, grub boxes, sleeping bags and fishing gear. My sister, brother-in-law, father, mother and myself enjoyed the two hour ride to the campsite.
Early the next morning, Dad and Roy went fishing and fishing was good. Some were released. Many were kept for breakfast back at camp.
The splashing behind them got louder. Looking up, they saw a federal game warden riding up on his horse. Dad lifted the front brim of his old fishing fly covered Stetson to get a good look at the wardens face.
"Good morning." "How is the fishing this morning?" "Oh, its not too bad. We've released all the smaller ones. We just need enough good pan sized Brookies for a good breakfast." "What fly are you using?" "Well, according to Ken Aycock over in the Basin, these rock roller flies are the best and they seem to be working this morning."
"Ken Aycock?" "You know Ken Aycock?" "Sure we work together. I'm out this way working on projects all of the time." "Do you know …. " The list of names and places started to flow.
Staying close to hear when the power of the law was going to drop on them, Roy finally moved away to fish up stream while they talked.
When he came back almost an hour later, they were still talking. The fishing creel on Dad's hip was still full of grass and trout although they were both getting a little dry. Dad's old bamboo fishing rod was still in his left hand. The three pound test leader and fly was trapped between his palm and the pole.
Finally, the warden tired of reminiscing and comparing notes on people and features in the area. "Well, I guess I'd better ask to see your fishing licenses and permit." Roy's heart stopped and his blood ran cold. Fishing on the reservation without the permit could result in a thousand dollar penalty and loss of fishing rights for a long time.
Dad turned his head and the warden could see Dad's fishing license in its plastic holder neatly tucked under the hat band on the right side.
"Well, you do have a permit too don't you?" With a guffaw, smile and a headshake, Dad said; "You don't think we'd be fool enough to be fishing here without one do you?" Apparently, the music of the conversation still echoed through the mind of the warden. He turned his horse and started off saying; "No, I don't suppose you would."
Roy claims he didn't start breathing again for twenty minutes, but everyone knows that even standing in water the temperature of ice, humans can't hold their breath for more than fifteen minutes.
As I remember, the fish were very good eating although I was really hungry by the time they arrived back in camp to be cooked.
Another Elwood Drew story to add to the book. There are hundreds of them. Probably thousands. Forty years after his death, I still hear them from time to time, especially from people who were children in the families that received his quiet assistance.
There are choices. There are consequences. Paying it forward will eventually rebound to your own assistance.
I suppose you've recorded your own similar family stories so they won't be lost in the next generations. Without them, how will your grandchildren know your parents and grandparents? Don't let them be lost to time.
Spend a little time and effort and record your own precious family stories. They are the flavor, texture, smell and substance that extend the memory of our ancestors.

The timeline tool displays news, magazine, book and other documents that discuss events in history. Enter keywords and / or dates in your search and you'll see results presented by day, week and month of the year. Google News Timeline is a significant resource to family history researchers.
See Lisa's vidcast at the bottom of this post.
The Google News Timeline is located here.
Of course, published materials decrease significantly the farther you go back in time, but don't let that deter your timeline searches. You may be surprised with the results from these searches.
Recently, I noted that the New York Times is now posting a lot of old articles on their site. Search for names or events on the search box on the site. The old articles are in .pdf format. Most are free but some of the more lengthy articles require a subscription to the archival services at the Times.
Listening to Lisa's vidcast, I wondered if she had ever seen the wonderful articles about the San Francisco earthquake that the USGS has posted. They include Google Earth (free download) files that show the fault lines and 'shake' values of the quake during the event. Additionally, they have added before and after photos showing the destruction down to the house level. Even though the earthquake is called the 'San Francisco earthquake' it affected a significant section of California and the Google Earth files show its impact in those rarely noted locations.
If you don't have Google Earth installed on your computer, download it from here, then install the free program. The files associated with the earthquake are listed as links on in the articles on the USGS site. Browse to the links from the home page and you'll see them under each article heading.
If you haven't used Google Earth before, you are missing a real treat. Not only does it let you view all locations on the earth, but it also includes the sea floor topography for all the oceans on earth and it also includes a full view and tour of all the celestial bodies.
Why am I focusing on Google Earth? The answer is simple. Technology has pushed through the brick and mortar walls of schools and extends knowledge, learning and research opportunities to our home computers, mobile laptops and mobile phones. Google Earth is one of the tools that enable the spread of virtual education and knowledge.
Mashups of various technological tools allow educators and folks like you and I to create interesting presentations of our research, stories and topics of interest in ways that exceed anything known just a few short years ago. We are only limited by our imagination and desire to learn the use of technology. The technological tools that most family history researchers will embrace is actually very simple to use. We just have take the time to read the instructions and then apply the knowledge.
I know most folks think they can't create presentations, podcasts or vidcasts, but you really can. Believe it. You CAN produce presentations that will help you in your ancestral quest. They WILL draw the interest of family members and others who are researching your common lineage if you post them on a blog or on your website and tell folks about it.
Now is the time to use the tools at hand to accelerate your research efforts. Go for it! You are the only person saying that you can't do it. You know how much you love proving wrong that surprisingly older stranger that you see in the mirror every morning.
Start today by installing Google Earth. Then use it to find the cemeteries where four or five generations of your ancestors are buried. Mark them and create a slideshow of them to show to your family. Change the angle of the inward zoom. Spin the earth under you. Label your bookmarks. Put them in the order you want then save the file.
Once completed, you'll be able to send the file to family members and other researchers. Remember that sharing a file like this almost always produces information in response and it frequently is the information or clues that you are seeking.
In another blog post, I referenced a Google Earth file that takes you on a flight to all the cemeteries of my ancestors on the island of Bornholm in the North Sea. Now that you have Google Earth installed on your machine, download my file from the link near the bottom of the posting and see how a simple file used for genealogical purposes looks on your screen. It is very simple presentation but it only took me ten minutes to create and it graphically conveys the information I wanted others to see in a format not available before.
One last time… Try it … Mikey, Gina, Charles, Annette (insert your name here)…. You'll like it!
Christmas in April
Christmas came to our house on Apr 30th this year. Years ago, I saw the diary of my great grandfather, David Lewis Drew, in Copperopolis, California. One of my older distant cousins had it in his possession. He allowed me to take one photo of it and then sent me on my way. When I developed the film, none of the photos on it were any good. The film stock was bad from the factory.
When my cousin died, his attorney called and asked if I had anything coming to me. I mentioned that my cousin said I could have the diary, but that was the end of the conversation. I never heard from him again.
Last week, a second cousin in California found my website and sent me a note. She'd had the diary in her possession since the death and had recently looked at it with renewed interest. Searching the web, she found my family history website and sent me a note
Long story short. The journal is sitting in front of me as I write this note. I can't keep it but I'm touching it and will scan the pages. They contain all my great grandfathers recorded thoughts during his first year in California during the tail end of the gold rush. He left Plymouth, Massachusetts, sailed down around the Cape in a very long voyage and joined the rest of multitudes who were looking for their fortunes.
Long ago, I transcribed the diary text from an old historical newsletter found in the Calaveras County Historical Society vaults. It can be seen here.
Two contiguous entries state that he finished the Bible and started reading it again the next night. I love those two entries.
Over the years, several folks from around the country have contacted me about the diary. Their ancestors are mentioned in its pages. One of them is a professional genealogy speaker and uses my site and the entry about her great granduncle in her speeches. I just talked to her and am going to send her a copy of the image for that page, etc. She is as excited about it (her soon to be "held" treasure) as I am about my good fortune.
Looking at the names of great grandpa's mining partner and other associates, I decided to find out who they were in life. Two of the three men he partnered or worked with in the gold fields were his distant cousins! In fact, his primary partner, Len Covington, was a distant cousin seven times over. That happens when families live in the same area like Plymouth, Massachusetts for three hundred years before the descendants start to scatter around the world. The other part-time partner was 'only' a cousin four times.
Did these fellows decide to leave Plymouth for the wild and woolly gold fields in California together? I'm trying to trace down any ship passenger records to see if they traveled together. It was a very long trip across land and many of not most of the folks from Massachusetts who participated in the gold rush traveled went by ship. Apparently, some of the intrepid young men opted to sail through the Gulf of Mexico and hike across Panama where they took passage on another ship to Sacramento.
The remainder took the long journey south around the Cape of South America and then back up the west coast of the Americas to Sacramento. No matter which path these folks took to find their fortunes, the trip was long and arduous.
Now for the rest of the story… Also in the package were a dozen photographs of David Drew's family in California. Working from the smallest photo to the largest, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I think I have a photo of my brick wall ancestor, Thomas Farrar! I've looked for him for over 50 years. I can't prove it yet, but will spend considerable time trying to find out the truth behind the photo.
Next were photos of all of David's children except my grandfather (he ran away to Utah at age 16 and apparently was disinherited from the family).
I was finally down to the last photo. It is in the largest old mounting cover. Opening the flaps, I found a photo of my father and aunt when they were youngsters. It was obviously taken during at the same photo setting as a photo we have but none of the living descendants of my Utah Drew grandparents have ever seen this pose before. It is in mint condition… Wonderful… AND I like the pose better…
I know a few of you have had similar experiences like this during your own ancestral quest and can appreciate my excitement.
Christmas presents? They are nothing. It was Christmas at our home on April 30th. The photos and diary are valued beyond price in my opinion.

Hollywood (and Gomorrah) may never be the same again. That's because the sexual assault snowball that began rolling down the Hollywood Hills following the Harvey Weinstein scandal is still picking up speed with every twisted and revolting revelation.
Today, disgraced HIV-positive Charlie Sheen, who has already been flung to the fringes of the film industry, has been accused of raping and sodomizing his then-13-year-old co-star Corey Haim on the set of the 1986 film Lucas. Haim was a rising star who peaked with the horror classic Lost Boys.
According to the National Enquirer (don't laugh; the Enquirer was the paper that broke the Tiger Woods philandering story), former actor and close friend of Haim's, Dominick Brascia, is putting Sheen on full furnace blast about how he allegedly abused Haim and then tossed him callously to the trash heap of childhood actors.
"Haim told me he had sex with Sheen when they filmed Lucas," Dominick Brascia, a former actor and a close friend of the "Lost Boys" legend, exclusively told The Enquirer. "He told me they smoked pot and had sex. He said they had anal sex. Haim said after it happened Sheen became very cold and rejected him. When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested."
Charlie's cold shoulder didn't end the sexual relationship between the two.
But Brascia said Haim claimed he hooked up with the Wall Street star another time — when he was in his mid-to-late 20s. "Haim told me he had sex with Sheen again," Brascia told the Enquirer. "He claimed he didn't like it and was finally over Sheen. He said Charlie was a loser."
Another of Sheen's anonymous longtime friends revealed that Sheen told him about sex with Haim, but insisted that it was consensual.
Another unnamed source refutes that claim:
"Corey was so confused by the sexual encounter he believed, like so many victims, he was 'in love' with his abuser," a fourth shocked source told the Enquirer. The reality was, however, Sheen bullied the child actor into a vulnerable position for sex, the insider said.
Through his publicist, Sheen emphatically denies ever having any kind of relationship with Haim or any other teen. To do so would be to admitting to rape, since Sheen was 19 at the time and Haim was 13, which is far too young to consent to sex with an adult.
The story of Haim's abuse was detailed by actor Corey Feldman, who has been blowing the whistle on this type of abuse for years. Feldman wrote about what Haim had told him about Sheen in a 2013 memoir, but omitted Sheen's name from the story.

The technical acronym for RSS is "Really Simple Syndication", an XML format that was created to syndicate news, and be a means to share content on the web. Now, to geeks and techies that means something special, but to everyday folks like you and me, what comes to mind is, "Uh, I don't get it?"
So, to make RSS much easier to understand, in Oprah speak, RSS stands for: I'm "Ready for Some Stories". It is a way online for you to get a quick list of the latest story headlines from all your favorite websites and blogs all in one place. How cool is that? (Click on image for larger view)
Suppose you have 50 sites and blogs that you like to visit regularly. Going to visit each website and blog everyday could take you hours. With RSS, you can "subscribe" to a website or blog, and get "fed" all the new headlines from all of these 50 sites and blogs in one list, and see what's going on in minutes instead of hours. What a time saver!
That one place where your RSS list is created is called an RSS Reader, and it gathers all the headlines from all the websites and blogs you have subscribed to. In a moment, I will describe how to get an RSS Reader.
Subscribing to RSS feeds
But first, to "subscribe" to a website or blog's RSS feed simply means that you are telling that website or blog, "Yes please. Send me your story headlines." It's like subscribing to a magazine or newsletter. Instead of getting a magazine or email, you will just get a list of headlines sent to your RSS reader. If the headline looks interesting to you, all you have to do is click on the headline and you'll be sent to the whole story.
In order to subscribe to a website or blog's RSS, all you have to do is click on an RSS symbol like one of those shown in the diagram above, or a text link of the words "Subscribe to our RSS feed" on the website or blog. Typically, you can find these RSS symbols or text links in your browser window, on the sides of the website page, or on the bottom of the page. The publishers of the websites and blogs really want people to subscribe to their RSS, so they will make it very easy for you to find the subscription links.

Lasagna Stuffed Portobello
Spinach and ricotta lasagna stuffed portobello mushrooms are our new favorite vegetarian dishes, these loaded mushroom caps are gluten-free, low carb, egg free and amazingly delicious.
Today's recipe is an excellent vegetarian lasagna recipe: Portobello mushrooms stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella. A tasty low carb meal which can be served as a pretty appetizer, side dish or as filling vegetarian dinner.
It's December already! 20 days until Christmas! YAAY! Have you started preparing for Christmas? I haven't yet, but I'm so excited to decorate our house and our Christmas tree. The only thing I hate this season is shopping, it's so stressful for me. But all in I love this wonderful time of the year. Soon we have to finalize the festive menu as well! So here's a tip: these cheesy creamy spinach stuffed portobello cups could make fabulous holiday appetizer or vegetarian dish. You'll appease everyone with this spectacular stuffed mushrooms.
These rich and juicy mushrooms are stuffed with creamy filling, a little marinara sauce and mozzarella, just like the original lasagna, only without noodles and meat. You won't miss the noodles, because the mushrooms are great substitute, even for the meat, since Portobello is a "meaty" mushroom and has a protein profile similar to meat. (via FoodFacts). The lasagna mushroom caps are seasoned with Italian spices (basil and oregano) and the spinach ricotta cream is flavored with garlic.
The preparation is super easy: spoon one tablespoon of marinara sauce in each caps, then spoon the creamy filling, marinara sauce again, then top the lasagna caps with mozzarella cheese. Bake them for 15 minutes, then turn the broiler on for a few minutes until the cheese has a nice brown color.
Our mushrooms were huge, two Portobello caps were enough for both of us. (Note: This recipe is made for 2 large portobello cups, double or triple the amount of ingredients as you like.) The stuffed mushrooms came out very delicious, creamy, flavorful and hearty, last but not least they are healthy as well. This vegetarian dish does not contain wheat and sugar, it's gluten free and low carb.
If you happen to try out this recipe, I would love to hear how it turned out! Please, leave a comment below! Enjoy!
Diet: low-carb, gluten-free, egg-free, clean eating
- 2 large Portobello mushroom caps
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
- 4 tablespoons organic tomato passata or puree or marinara sauce
- ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
- salt
- pepper
- Preheat the oven to 200°C | 390 °F.
- Clean the portobello mushroom caps, brush the exterior with olive oil and season the inside of the mushroom with salt and pepper. Arrange the caps upside down on a greased or lined baking dish. Bake the mushrooms for 5 minutes.
- While the portobellos are pre-baking, prepare the filling. Cut finely the baby spinach leaves (if you are using fresh baby spinach, you don't have to cook them, they will perfectly cook within the mushroom, but if you'd like, sauté them for 2-3 minutes in a skillet or cook in microwave oven according to the package instructions).
- Mis together the chopped spinach with the ricotta cheese, crushed garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
- Remove the portobellos from the oven. Spoon one tablespoon tomato puree into each mushroom, then spoon the spinach ricotta mixture, again one tablespoon tomato puree and finally top the mushrooms with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the lasagna stuffed portobello caps for 15 minutes, then turn the broiler on for a 1-2 minutes until the cheese has a nice brown color and the mushrooms are cooked through
