Origin of the Easter Basket
So, I wanted to share a little Easter history with everyone, but I wanted to do something a little different than just focus on the pagan origins of the holiday itself. We often focus on the origin of the name of the holiday, etc. I thought instead, it would be interesting to look at the common tradition of the Easter Basket. There have been many cultural adaptations and interpretations of this custom, but all somewhat related.
What are the origins of giving baskets of fake grass, eggs and candy? Why a basket?
It was an ancient pagan custom that in the spring, people would offer baskets of seedlings to the fertility goddess Eostre (or Oestre) hoping to increase the chances of a good harvest. Also, the goddess Eostre was often depicted carrying eggs in a basket, signifying fertility and new life.
The basket was used to symbolize a bird's nest so people would decorate it to resemble one even more by adding a bed of grass to the bottom. Then, eggs would be added to the nested basket to look more realistic.
These ideas, among others, were adopted by the early Catholic Church. For instance, it was also traditional for people to fast before the Spring Equinox. By doing this, they hoped to redirect their energy into the seedlings so that the harvest would be more successful. This was an idea that inspired Lent. After a long fast during Lent, Easter offered a welcome feast to celebrate its passing. This desire to celebrate by feasting on previously abstained goodies led to the basket tradition.
The Christian adaptation of the Easter Basket revolved around the custom of Blessing the Family Baskets. This is when every family would bring a basket of food that they had commonly abstained from during Lent, to Mass on Easter Sunday. It would then be blessed for an Easter feast. In the basket would be items such as red wine, salted meats like ham, dairy, eggs, and eventually candy. This tradition is still observed in more Orthodox households. It is sometimes called the Pascha or Paschal Basket.
The more commercialized Easter baskets of today have ditched the religiously symbolic foods in favor of just eggs and/or candy, as the world has become more secularized (and sugar loving!). Still, many families will spend today feasting and observing the joy and new life of the spring season, provided to the world by the glory and miracle of the risen son/sun.
Happy Easter!!!!!

From a vision to reality.
The spectacular Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 study will be providing a visually exciting and technically feasible take on the long-distance truck of tomorrow at the 2014 International Commercial Vehicle show (IAA). In ten years' time, trucks could be driving autonomously on motorways. Transport efficiency will increase, traffic will be safer for all road users, and fuel consumption and CO2 emissions will be further reduced. To do this Mercedes-Benz connects existing assistance systems with enhanced sensors to the "Highway Pilot" system. Autonomous driving is already possible at realistic speeds and in realistic motorway traffic situations. The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 provides a glimpse of the future shape of trucks.
Exterior: flowing forms with a light show.
In terms of design, the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 study combines function, efficiency and emotion in a fascinating way. Innovative forms and the lighting engineering of tomorrow send the conventional truck cab into the future. The designers have leveraged the opportunity presented by future length specifications. Compact cameras replace conventional exterior mirrors. Its windscreen resembles a visor. When the fully drivable study is being controlled manually and on the move, the lights are white. When the truck is driving autonomously, the colour of the lights changes from white to blue. They then pulsate strongly, thus symbolising the truck's powerful heartbeat and clearly indicating the vehicle's current operating mode to other road users.
Interior: calming design for a new way of working.
The workplace for driving is calm and uncluttered like a modern, paperless office. Wood flows from the floor to the instrument panel with generous use of the material underlying the inviting atmosphere and sense of well-being on board. The dark finish is strongly grained, open-pore and has a naturally aged effect. The instrument panel is calm and uncluttered, with displays separating instruments and the exterior mirrors. When the truck is travelling autonomously, the driver may recline their seat and also turn it by 45 degrees into the space, allowing them to consciously adopt a relaxed, comfortable working position. At the same time, indirect lighting illuminates the interior without glare. To communicate from the future workplace the driver uses a tablet computer. This is accommodated in the newly designed centre console but is removable. Here the driver can process documents, schedule more destinations, accept further orders and arrange the next break. The computer screen can be configured to suit individual requirements, also enabling the driver to call up all key trip data.
Radar sensors and a camera scan the surroundings.
Radar sensors and camera technology enable the Future Truck to drive autonomously, independently of other vehicles or central control stations. Its technical features are thus crucial in giving the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 its outstanding capabilities as an autonomous vehicle. For Mercedes-Benz, the culmination of this is the highly intelligent "Highway Pilot" system, which resembles the autopilot on an aircraft. Networking with other trucks or passenger cars extends its abilities further, but is not necessary for autonomous driving.
Blind Spot Assist: more safety when turning and changing lanes.
Blind Spot Assist warns the truck driver about other road users not only when turning; it also warns about imminent collisions with stationary obstacles – for example, signs or lamps – and serves as an assistance system when changing lanes. These sensors form the heart of the new Blind Spot Assist system from Mercedes-Benz. The radar sensor modules are arranged in such a way that they cover the area parallel to the truck over the entire length of a tractor/trailer combination or drawbar combination. In addition, this strip is extended forwards to two metres in front of the truck.
The transport system of tomorrow will be networked and autonomous.
All sensors on board the Future Truck 2025 are networked (multi-sensor fusion), and provide a complete image of the surroundings. All moving and stationary objects in the truck's vicinity are registered.
Fusion of the data by a high-performance multi-core processor in the central computer links the data from all sensors in the whole area in front of and beside the truck.
The sensor and camera technology is active from standstill to the legally permitted maximum speed for trucks. By intervening in the steering, it automatically keeps the truck safely in the centre of its lane. The system also includes a three-dimensional digital map, which is already used for the assistance system Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC). This means that the truck is always fully aware of the road's course and topography.
V2V and V2I – communication between vehicles and the outside world.
The "Highway Pilot" is ideally partnered with V2V and V2I networking. Every vehicle equipped with this in the near future will transmit continuous information to its surroundings. This includes vehicle position and model, dimensions, direction of travel and speed, any acceleration and braking maneuvers and the bend radii negotiated.
The frequency of information transfer depends on the vehicle speed and the intensity of any changes in its movement. It varies between one message per second when cruising to ten times this interval when changes are significant.
In an ideal scenario, an uninterrupted chain of communication forms along a route that rigorously informs the driver and vehicle about road and traffic conditions well in advance. All these data inform the driver and the onboard computer about events happening outside the range of vision in good time. Therefore, the driver and vehicle are aware of obstacles in advance, before they can become a hazard.
Future becomes reality: autonomous driving in practice.
After joining the motorway, the driver of the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 merges with the traffic flow in the appropriate lane. The system then prompts the driver to activate the "Highway Pilot". The driver activates it, and the vehicle switches to autonomous mode.
According to the given traffic situation, the Future Truck 2025 is on the road independently, as no vehicle in front is needed as a reference to guide it through the traffic. It acts autonomously in its lane. If there is another vehicle travelling ahead, the truck can adapt to its speed within the permitted limit and maintains a set safety distance. It is therefore always possible for other vehicles to join the lane safely. The safety distance is also always maintained – the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 adapts perfectly to its environment. The Future Truck 2025 operates independently of other road users thanks to networking. However, to fully benefit in terms of logistical efficiency and making optimum use of infrastructure, comprehensive networking is desirable. This development is certain to occur in a gradual manner. Open standards and protocols are important to this end.
Autonomous driving: set to become reality in the short term.
One of the most interesting questions on the subject of autonomous driving is the time horizon envisaged for its realisation. In purely technical terms, turning it into reality on the roads is already feasible in approximately five years. In terms of passenger car development cycles, a possible start is 2020. Owing to the more complex factors for heavy commercial vehicles, the time horizon for such vehicles will, however, be rather longer – realistically, implementation is possible within ten years, in view of the legal considerations that still remain to be clarified.
The introduction of autonomous driving will not happen digitally from one day to the next, as development is progressing in a gradual manner: evolutionary stages are necessary to revolutionise goods haulage on the roads. In the coming years, new and improved assistance systems will continue to pave the clearly set-out way to autonomous driving.

Chris Brown's house was hit early Wednesday morning in a home invasion robbery and the robbers held his aunt at gunpoint, locked her in a closet and turned the place upside down ... TMZ has learned.
It went down at around 2 AM at the San Fernando Valley house Chris just bought. Three armed men forced their way in the house and found the aunt, put a gun in her face and ordered her into the closet. Law enforcement tells us the home invaders then ransacked the house, took money and other property and fled.
The aunt called 911 and cops raced to the scene, but the robbers were long gone. (TMZ)
Chris was not home at the time.
Father God in the name of Jesus, please protect Christopher & his family. Psalm 91

Alaska Wilderness SAFARI offers more than just a great, remote fly fishing trip in Alaska…
Definitely one of our top day hikes in Nakalilok Bay, these falls are a 1.5 hour hike from camp.
Only a 20 minute walk from camp, this small coastal waterfall is near good tide pools.
Accessed only during heli-fishing days, this creek has some dolly and salmon fishing, but also a cool waterfall about a 30 minute hike upriver.
What's more refreshing?
Yes, there are some small fish in the deep waterfall pool. Nothing worth fishing for, though.
Waterfalls on a remote Alaska Peninsula beach accessed by boat. There's good fossil hunting here, too.
Family fun at the waterfall.
This waterfall is WAY up our river valley… about a 2.5 hour hike.
"Hammond Falls" is small and quaint, but only a 25 minute walk from camp.
A HUGE Nakalilok Bay waterfall we've only seen from the air during helicopter fishing days. (Story coming soon on how we got here on foot in 2006!)

To be among the top civil construction companies Melbourne has today means you have to hire construction workers that are highly competent and committed to upholding the values that your company stands for as well. This is because in the construction industry, it is the workers that represent a construction company for they are the ones who will have direct contact with the clients. This article provides a guide to help you pick the best workers that are available.
Create a Job Posting
The first step is to create a job posting and put it on various job post sites. What skills are you looking for? Is it expertise in chain trenching? Drilling? Ensure that you have detailed the specific skills you are looking for. Also, specify the qualities and amount of experience you want. This is important because it will bring to you the most qualified candidates while discouraging those that do not meet the threshold. Also important is to include in your ad the kind of jobs that your company undertakes so that only the people who are familiar will apply.
Look at References
Before hiring any worker, ask for their references first then contact them. This is because the work they did, whether it was for excavation companies Melbourne has or a drilling company will give you a glimpse of what you are to expect from them. Also, the former employers will be able to fill you in on the kind of construction works and the timelines the person you are looking at is familiar with.
Be Competitive
There is nothing as bad as having employees who lack motivation in their work. Therefore, in your quest to seek the best construction workers, there is a need to be a Melbourne directional drilling company or whatever company you are dealing that construction workers are dying to work for. Therefore, look at the best civil construction companies Melbourne wide with best workers and do a benchmark. What is it that attracts and motivates their employees? Apply those good qualities to your company. It could be good remuneration, additional benefits or even security.
Maintain Previous Relationships with Employees
There are previous employees whose work really impressed you. Hence, keep them close. You never know, they could be of value to you in future projects. Even if not themselves, they could refer you to their friends who are equally competent. You can check on them occasionally even if it does not relate to work things.
Whilst you may have attained the target number of construction workers you wanted, do not stop your search for future potential workers. This is because you could reach a point where you would need some extra hands to have tasks accomplished much faster. Besides, there reaches a point where some workers are not available. Hence, quick replacements are needed. If your dream is to get the best workers interested in working for civil construction companies Melbourne has to offer, you are well on the road to reaching your goal when you follow the tips mentioned above. http://envirolink.com.au/

The Challenge: Getting people to practice healthier and more socially aware behaviors is difficult
The Science: When people pay more attention to what they do, they are more able to change
The Solution: Looking at things a different way helps change behaviors toward better alternativesA lot of effort has been spent trying to get people to engage in healthier and more prosocial activities. We want people to take the stairs rather than the elevator, to eat fruits and vegetables rather than candy bars, and to help others rather than thinking only about themselves.
Often, getting people to change their behavior is treated primarily as a marketing problem. If only people really understood how desirable and important it is for them to do the right thing, they would do it more often. In many cases, though, people are already aware of the right thing to do. People know that climbing the stairs helps them to get more exercise, but they simply don't do it.
A fascinating paper by Guarav Suri and James Gross in the August 2015 issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that perhaps changing people's behavior in many cases is as simple as changing what they pay attention to.
First, they did a laboratory experiment to demonstrate that people often get stuck in routines. In a preliminary study, they showed people pairs of pictures, one of which was more pleasant than the other. They gave people a free choice of which picture to look at for 15 seconds. Unsurprisingly, people chose the more pleasant picture the vast majority of the time.
In another study, participants were shown one picture as a default and were given an option to switch to another picture that was either more or less pleasant. Even when people had the choice to pick the more pleasant picture, they only did so 40 percent of the time. They rarely chose to switch from a more pleasant picture to a less pleasant one. A second group was given a similar option, but after five seconds of viewing the initial picture, the instructions for switching pictures (which were always visible) were highlighted with a red box. In this case, people opted to switch to the more pleasant picture 61 percent of the time, though they still rarely switched to a less pleasant picture.
This finding suggests that people may get locked into a default way of doing something. Directing their attention to an alternative may lead them to switch their behavior.
Not every sign affects behavior, though. A sign that read "Have a nice day" did not influence the number of people who took the stairs.
These studies suggest that snapping people out of a default routine—by reminding them that they have a choice—can affect their behavior. Obviously, the effects are small. Most people in the field experiments are still not taking the stairs.
Nonetheless, increasing the number of people who do the right thing can feed on itself. If people visibly engage in behaviors like walking the stairs, then the effects of goal contagion may lead additional people to engage in positive behaviors.
These studies also suggest that subtle reminders of choice may be an easy way to affect behavior rather than having to engage in a more laborious (and expensive) campaign to educate people about what they should do.

Why Customers Loathe Your Contact Center
We've all experienced the pain first hand. All you need is a quick answer by an informed, competent customer service agent and instead, you get lengthy, unhelpful self-service menus, long wait times and apathetic agents without answers.
If you took the time to dig into legacy contact center technology (yeah right, who does this?), you'd quickly realize it's no mystery why this pain exists.
Fortunately, people like me actually do geek out about contact center technology, evolution and trends. We've seen first hand how legacy premises-based systems have siloed applications, often lack out-of-the-box integrations with CRM systems, have disjointed reporting and have few built-in resources (like FAQs) for agent knowledge sharing and collaboration. The result is an inadequate toolset for customer service agents and poor training. Both of which delay and damage customer outcomes.
The good news: pure cloud contact center providers have benefited from legacy providers' struggles to create flexible solutions to transform customer experiences and turn pain into triumph.
A few top pain points and strategies to solve them:
Unhelpful self-service menus: It sometimes feels like customer service departments do everything possible to avoid connecting customers to a live agent. That perception is reality for too many contact centers. To understand why, just look at the cost differences: live agent connect costs = $6-12 per interaction vs. web self service = pennies per interaction. Unfortunately, this cost savings approach often results in set-it-and-forget-it self service menus and a customer experience that feels just as neglected. But it doesn't have to be this way. Contact centers must constantly inspect their self-service menus to ensure they remain relevant. But where to start?
How to solve it: Look into a cloud-based contact center platform that includes detailed self-service analytics that reveal exact usage of self-service menu options, where callers most frequently hang up and the most common paths taken through the IVR. This level of visibility into self-service usage is unprecedented and reveals what customers really care about.
Long wait times: We are all extremely impatient consumers. Customers will simply hang up if they are put on hold for too long.
How to solve it: By adding a callback option, if all agents are busy, the customer can opt to receive a callback. This helps businesses better manage their resources and alleviate the pain of customers waiting on hold for an extended period. This actually lets the contact center to work for the customer. Imagine that.
Agents are unequipped to answer questions: Customers don't need the friendliest or most compassionate agent. They need competence and efficiency. Unfortunately, agents often lack coaching and training. The result is high agent turnover rates and poor customer experience.
How to solve it: Customer experience lives or dies on agent performance. I strongly believe that the contact center that collaborates is the contact center that outperforms. Read more about this concept here. That's why insights from a millennial-friendly quality management solution with built-in collaboration tools (@mentions, tagging, annotations) plus FAQs can help agents resolve issues more efficiently, and allow managers to identify and alleviate problems as they arise, instead of when a report is run. The result is more engaged agents and better outcomes, which in turn leads to happier customers.
Although customer service still gets a bad rap, contact center technology has evolved sufficiently to enable companies to aggressively make customer service a top, if not the top, strategic priority. Companies large and small should look for a cloud contact center provider so they can finally execute on outstanding customer service as a strategic differentiator.
The bar has been too low for too long.

How many times have you sat in frustration during a meeting and wondered why "that person" was being so difficult? When an organization discusses "change" there is often a predictable palette of responses around the conference table. While each one of us is a beautiful, intricate, and complicated person, there are some general categories, or personality temperaments, we tend to lean in to.
Novelists and screenwriters commonly make use of the four temperaments within their stories (sometimes knowingly and sometimes not!). In the Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum uses characters that are lacking (or think they are lacking) a trait that represents one of the four temperaments: Courage, Brains, Heart, and Home. Here's a quick look at our characters. Which one (or ones) are you?
Courageous Lions say, "I'm not afraid! Change? Schmange. Bring it on. Let's do this! If you don't like it, well, put 'em up and we'll settle this the old fashioned way!"
Okay, they might not start a fist fight, but suffice it to say that the efficient and resourceful Lions are ready and willing to go. Right now. Who needs a plan? Courageous Lions are more than willing to handle things as they come – and they are good at it.
I'll tell you who needs a plan, Brainy Scarecrows! The competent and visionary Scarecrows say, "Let's sit down and reason this out. Have we thought through how this suggested change will impact our organization over the next five years? Let's tweak the idea a bit."
Brainy Scarecrows bring a rational edge to the discussion – which sometimes annoys the Lions… and the Tinmen. Nevertheless, these Scarecrows help organizations avoid hard to see pitfalls and navigate difficult waters.
The Good-Hearted Tinmen care. About everyone. "There is more to this than the bottom line, people! How will Elder Bruce feel if you replace the piece of lobby furniture that his father donated 25 years ago? Have we considered sending a card thanking him and his family for their many years of service?"
Good-Hearted Tinmen are often problem-solvers. They are imaginative and innovative. They intuitively know how proposed change will affect those you lead and they often have good ideas that make people feel special and valued.
The Sweet Dorothies just want to go home. Sometimes the Dorothies want to cling to the past (for the sake of comfort and security), and sometimes they call for the team to remember the values of the past. "Change is great, as long as we are connecting it to the mission we all agreed to long ago. Do you remember why we are here and why we are doing this? With that in mind, how can we make this proposed change more powerful and focused?"
Responsible and reliable Dorothies are guardians of what is most precious in your organization: your mission, values, and vision.
The study of personality theories can quickly become extensive and a bit overwhelming, so suffice it to say that WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT! Our teams are filled with beautiful, intricate, complicated, messy geniuses. Who needs simple?
You know, it hardly seems fair to leave out poor Toto. Toto showed up in almost every scene, but didn't say a word. He watched the action take place and looked cute. Toto didn't really move the plot along very much at all… or did he? Sometimes the one who says the least, actually has the most influence. Have you found this to be true? Just my late night musings as I continue to think about this topic. 😉
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: Which character do you see yourself more as and which one annoys you to pieces? How will you adjust your perspective for future discussions within your organization? Please comment below.

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled Monday, Jan. 22, that the state's congressional map violates the constitution and discriminates against Democrats. The decision affirms a resolution approved by the 2017 Eastern PA Annual Conference that called on members to advocate for legislative redistricting reform via a transparent, nonpartisan citizens commission that would redraw electoral districts for greater fairness (2017-03 Support of a Citizens Commission for Legislative and Congressional Redistricting).
The court's order blocks the electoral map's use in primaries this May and requires a new map to be drawn immediately. The state's General Assembly has until Feb. 9 to pass a constitutional map, or the court will do it for them. The ruling is part of a recent trend of opposition to extreme partisan gerrymandering in several states across the country.
"The court's decision is a victory on the road to redistricting reform and a breakthrough in the anti-gerrymandering campaign," said the Rev. Dai Morgan, Coordinator of UM Advocacy in Pennsylvania. "However, as important as this decision is, it is not the end.
"The goal of the annual conference's resolution—the creation of a truly independent citizens redistricting commission devoid of political motivation or partisanship—has not been fulfilled," explained Morgan, who does state legislative advocacy and education for the state's three UM conferences (Eastern PA, Susquehanna and Western PA). "We should continue efforts to seek long-term change of both state and federal legislative districts, but the solution will come through the state legislature, not the courts.
"More legislators are paying attention, and the cosponsors to legislative redistricting bills are growing," Morgan continued. "The bills to support are House Bill 722 and Senate Bill 22. Now is a good time to contact legislative leadership to support these bills. Especially, call or write to state Senator Joseph Scarnati and Speaker of the House Mike Turzai." (See Morgan's monthly legislative advocacy reports on our Advocacy wepage.)
"Although the court ruling is likely to be challenged," commented Barbara Drake, who chairs Eastern PA Conference's Church and Society Work Team, "this is a step in the right direction of taking redistricting out of the hands of the political parties who now benefit by how the map is drawn."
Drake's team presented Annual Conference Resoluton 2017-03 "in support of a Citizens Commission for Legislative and Congressional Redistricting." "I am delighted that the state's Supreme Court ruled that the present congressional map violates the state constitution and is not to be used for the May primaries," she said. "I live in PA's Seventh Congressional District, which the Philadelphia Inquirer described as "an example of extreme partisan gerrymandering. It includes sections of five counties and is held together in some places by a single building."

Voxan Wattman becomes the Most Powerful Production Electric Motorcycle Ever
Modified On Dec 10, 2015 12:00 AM By Naveen Soni
The French motorcycle manufacturer Voxan has launched a new electric motorcycle WATTMAN, which has been engineered in Monaco and being manufactured in France. The company claimed it to be the world's most powerful production electric motorcycle till now. The sporty body of the bike has been bolted on a light weight aluminium chassis which makes it lighter, weighing only 140 kg.
The bike uses the first 200hp Voxan electric motor with permanent magnets and liquid cooling, which delivers 200 Nm instant torque up to 10,500 rpm to the rear wheel through a belt drive. The bike reaches from 0-100kmph mark in just 3.4 sconds and goes upto 170kmph.
The electric motors take its power from an ultra-compact 12.8kWh Lithium Ion battery, which takes only 30 minutes for 80% charging and ensures 180 km of range when 100% charged. Thanks to its integrated charger, it can also be plugged to a standard household socket anywhere.
WATTMAN has been designed using Biomimetics phelosophy inspired by the structure of an scorpion. It uses an aluminum exoskeleton instead of the regular tubular frame, which supports its powertrain. The front suspension is fairly conventional with 43mm inverted forks, while the rear wheel is supported by a parallel four-link suspension using dual swing-arms, to provide better stability and comfort.
It runs on 130mm wide front and 240mm wide rear Michelin Commander II tyres. The bike features 230mm 4 disc Beringer 4D braking system at the front while single disk at the rear.

McKenneys of Belmont, Monroe, Guernsey and Harrison Counties, Ohio – 1880 to 1900
Hopefully you have landed here because you are researching a McKenney/McKinney family who came from Belmont, Monroe, Guernsey or Harrison counties of Ohio. If so, please contact me so that we can share information. Several families from the area now have taken a yDNA-37 test at FTDNA, and we need more families from the area to do this so that we may begin to get a better picture of these families and possible relationships between them.
The focus of my study right now are George Washington McKenney Sr. b. abt. 1832 in Ohio, William McKenney b. abt. 1827 in Ohio, married in Monroe Ohio, and Robert Eugene McKenney born about 1821 in Pennsylvania. They are each from the same area in Ohio and went to Van Buren County, Iowa and are closely connected, so I am assuming they are either brothers are cousins. DNA research shows this branch of McKenneys is not Scotch-Irish. Instead they are Irish and related to Irish McKennas.
As far as I can tell, no one has much studied the McKenneys from this area and I'm hoping eventually some people will drop by who are descendants of McKenney families from Belmont, Monroe, Guernsey and Harrison Counties in Ohio.
Some of the below is good solid census research. Other parts are speculation and subject to change as evidence presents itself, and hopefully evidence will present itself.
Things get confusing because of the repetitive names in these McKenney families of George Washington, William, John and Robert. I try to keep things straight by consistently (annoyingly, repetitively) attaching birth dates to individuals.
I'm also including research on the Bartows and some Shaffer families of Harrison county who married into the McKenney family, and also families who seem to be closely connected as they made the migration out to Iowa at the same time the McKenneys did, or who moved to the Ioway/Great Nemaha Reservation area at that time. George W. McKenney Sr. b. 1832 is said to have married an Ioway woman and I feel examination of these families is pertinent. These families who move to the Ioway/Great Nemaha Reservation are connected with the McKenneys through marriage but more obviously through close neighborhood associations with the Bartows and Shaffers.
We may never have direct lines for these McKenneys and may have to make do with a clan umbrella of kinship.
Above is a selection of some of the known places G. W. McKenney Sr. and family would live in between 1850 and 1890. Many of the towns in which they are lived are no longer there.
G. W. McKenney Sr. b. 1832 is now in Arkansas.

In Millwood, Guernsey, Ohio, there now appears a R. E. McKinney, age 68, shoemaker, b. in PA and father in Ireland and mother in PA. This almost matches with Robert Eugene McKenney though this R. E. has an unknown wife, Agnes J and is ten years older than Robert Eugene McKenney. This is however during a time when Robert Eugene was known to be widowed and he may have had unknown wives just as did George W. McKenney Sr. Also, I can't find Robert Eugene McKenney on any other census. Up to some time after 1870, Rebecca McKenney, perhaps a widow of John McKenney 1 of Millwood, has been living in Millwood. I'm thinking that if this is Robert Eugene McKenney then he may have come back to Ohio at this time to settle the estate. Is R. E. McKenney shoemaker the same as Robert Eugene McKenney shoemaker? It seems he could very possibly be but I don't know.

In District 61, Center, Wapello, IA, we find Thomas Evans Cole and wife Mary Jane Picken, married in 1867 in Mahaska, living beside Paris Caldwell, whose Hackney wife has died. (97 John R. Shepherd, 98 Paris Caldwell, 99, Thomas Evans Cole). Thomas Evans Cole is the son of William and Elizabeth Cole. Mary Jane Picken is the daughter of Alexander Picken and Rachel Conaway.
Illinois, Tennessee, McDonough. Bluett Partelow and wife in the Grammant household, daughter having married Frank Grammant. Cornelius McWhirt is no longer there and has now moved to Chautauqua Co. KS.
George Washington Martin and wife Mary Culter are now living next to George Washington McKenney b. 1832in Fayetteville, Washington Co. ARK. George Martin's grandparents are Hugh Wilson and Susan Skiles. His uncle Wilson married Susanna Spoonamore, daugher of Philip and Rachel in 1833. Philip Spoonamore as late as the 1850 census was living next to a bunch of Skiles in Schuyler.
In Richardson County, NE, the Hurleys and Furrows (related to Franklin) live a couple doors from a Lawrence Harsin. Three of Lawrence Harsin's half-siblings are married to Pershalls. Their father, Joseph Pershall is now living in Barada Nebraska before moving out to Washington State. He was before this an Indian trader in Chautauqua Co. KS. Some of his family is still living in Chautuaqua Co. and has married into my Crockett side of the family. The Crocketts have yet to marry into the McKenneys but are all currently in Chautauqua. The Hackneys come down from Lick Creek Van Buren IA in 1872 and by 1883 have married into the Crocketts. (One of the Harsins is married to a Kirendall. See 1875 for related Kirendalls from Van Buren Co. IA)
George Neff, who had been married to Virginia Boggs in 1866 (see 1860 McKenney column for connection to McKenneys) now marries Josephine Deroin. Josephine Deroin's sister had married Charles Roubidoux in 1858 and was living next to George Neff's brother, Daniel in 1860.
1881-1882 Addie McKenney, daughter of George W. McKenney and Isabel, marries Samuel McWhirt, son of Cornelius McWhirt, they having settled in Chautauqua Co. at some point, and Addie and Samuel move to the Osage Reservation.
Samuel Kelly Crockett marries Sarah Elizabeth Hackney, daughter of William Hackney and Mary Enlow (of Van Buren Iowa). They reside in Chautauqua Kansas.
George W. McKenney Jr., son of George W. McKenney Sr. and Isabella Love, marries Belle Sparks in Chautauqua Co. Kansas.
Robert Eugene McKenney is residing in Flandreau, Moody, South Dakota. Also in 1884 he is given as marrying Elizabeth A. Curtis in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota.
1885 news article gives George W. McKenney Sr. b. 1832 as living in vicinity of Cedar Vale in Chautauqua. He appears in the Center, Chautauqua Co., Kansas census with his son George W. McKenney Jr. but no one else. I am assuming that G. W. McKenney Jr.'s family may be already on the Osage Reserve. Eli likely is a he's not in the Chautauqua County census. I'm imagining he was living with a sibling such as Addie McKenney McWhirt.
George W. McKenney Sr. b. 1832 remarries to an Alice Tilson way out in Tennessee, and they move to Oklahoma Territory. He doesn't appear anywhere in the 1900 census.
The Spoonamores marry into the Roy Ioway Line. Isaac Asbury Spoonamore marries Emma Jane Franklin.
The Spoonamores marry into the Roy Ioway Line. Isaac Asbury Spoonamore marries Emma Jane Franklin.

Last month I started posting pictures from my latest photo shoot. Within a week, I'd heard at least 5 comparisons to the singer Sade. Although it was unintentional, I could totally see it!
Soon after that, I started seeing Sade's picture everywhere on social media. I figured it deserved some more exploration.
I've had an interesting relationship with Sade. Her "Stronger Than Pride" album stayed on repeat in my house during my childhood. When my Mom loves an album, trust me, you'll know. So my first response to Sade's music was generally, "Ugh! Mooooom, do you have to play it agaiiiiin?" 🙄
It was about 15-20 years later when I actually started to appreciate Sade. The vibrant rhythms, poignant lyrics and the smooth softness of her voice… It is really beautiful music when you listen without "Ugh!…Read More
Confession: I've never done the "seeing multiple people at the same time and seeing what happens" thing. With the exception of a handful of dates than never went anywhere, I've mostly been dating like a middle schooler.. "I like you, you like me, now we go together." 😂
In the past, as soon as I was interested in a man, he had my full undivided attention. 🥰 I was completely loyal and monogamous without any commitment on his part.
The problem was that it created an unhealthy attachment to the outcome. I'd approach every interaction with an attractive man with the attitude of "I really hope this works out" instead of "let's just see what happens". It created a feeling of anxiety while I waited to be "chosen" or "found".…Read More
Dear "you're not enough"/"you're too much" voices,
Fuck off.
You've tortured me for the past 34 years.
And I've allowed it.
🥀I've allowed you to steal my joy.
🥀I've allowed you to wake me up in the middle of the night harassing me.
🥀I've allowed you to rob me of my self-care.
🥀I've allowed you to shut down my intuition.
🥀I've allowed you to translate every "no", rejection and criticism into proof of my unworthiness.
🥀I've allowed you to keep me in a state of anxiety whenever faced with possible rejection.
🥀I've allowed you to keep me stuck in a cycle of attracting and entertaining unavailable men.
🥀I've allowed you to keep my boundaries weak.
🥀I've allowed you to rob me of the ability to enjoy my talent.…
In 2019, my biggest goal is to have as much FUN as I can.
That probably sounds a little trite.. Let me explain..
When I imagined my life and career after college, it was supposed to go like this:
So imagine what it feels like to stare 35 in the face (Yes, honey!…Read More

|Starting to feel like the old days. Only faster.
|~ Kabal after defeating Sheeva
Kabal is a character from Mortal Kombat. Despite being a villain at first, he later becomes a hero.
Kabal first debuted in MK3 as a member of the Black Dragon who had survived an attack from Kahn's extermination squads, and was left disfigured and kept alive by artificial respirators. He temporarily leaves behind his life of crime with the Black Dragon and becomes a force for good. Between MK3 and MK: Deadly Alliance, Kabal is wounded severely in battle by Mavado, a leading member of the rival Red Dragon who stole his hookswords and kept them both for himself. Havik visits Kabal at the brink of death and restores him, and then instructs him to revive the Black Dragon as a force of anarchy and decay.
He fights Mavado again, defeats him and retrieves his hookswords. Kabal then also recruits Kira and Kobra, and all three join Havik on Outworld in MK: Deception. He toughens his charges by testing them in combat against Onaga's enemies. In Armageddon's Konquest mode, Taven refuses his offer of membership in the Black Dragon before defeating Kabal in combat. In the 2011 reboot, Kabal was a former Black Dragon member who reformed and now worked with Stryker as a cop. During an encounter with Kintaro, Kabal was severely burnt but was rescued by Kano.
However, from that day on he had to wear artificial respirators as his lungs were severely damaged and could not be repaired. This version of Kabal is strongly aligned with the forces of good and joined the Defenders of Earthrealm, following his MK3 incarnation. It also revealed the origin of Kabal's superspeed as being attributed to the influence of Outworld magic. Kabal is killed with most of allies by Sindel.
|He was once a member of the Black Dragon along with Kano. Now Kabal devotes his life to fight injustice: He will give crime's inner circles a new reason to fear.
|~ Kabal biography in Mortal Kombat III.
- One of the hints in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is "Kabal says thank you very much". This may be a reference to a side mission players can perform, where he will reward them with his hookswords.
- Kabal's fatality in MK3, where he removed his mask to scare the opponent to death, was listed as ninth on Screwattack's Top 10 Worst Mortal Kombat Fatalities list.
- While all the other characters must perform "mercy" to use their Animalities, Kabal can do so automatically on the Sega Geneis ports. However this makes his head fall off.
- In Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Kano states that the Flash was so fast, he would give Kabal a run for his money.


text: After you've planned the quilting designs and you're ready to put needle to fabric, how do you know where to start quilting first? The general rule of thumb is to start from the middle and work outward toward the edges of the quilt. For machine quilting, this means quilting stabilizing stitch-in-the-ditch stitching between blocks and rows. After the whole quilt is stabilized, quilt the largest designs first, then move on to the smaller motifs, and fill in background or small dense quilting designs last. Small background quilting tends to draw up or shrink the quilt, and if it's done before larger designs, will make the quilting process more difficult.

Germany Asks Top U.S. Spy to Leave the Country
The German government has asked the top U.S. spy there to leave the country as a response to the latest scandals between the two countries, including NSA surveillance and the recent arrest of an alleged double agent.
The German government announced the move in Berlin on Thursday, underscoring Germany's impatience with American spying activities in the country.
"The representative of the U.S. intelligence services at the United States embassy has been asked to leave Germany," government spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement.
"The request occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing investigation by federal prosecutors as well as the questions that were posed months ago about the activities of U.S. intelligence agencies in Germany," he added. "The government takes the matter very seriously."
The announcement comes just a day after the German government was reported to be looking for a second U.S. spy in the county. Also last week, the country's authorities arrested a German intelligence officer suspected of passing secrets to the U.S.
Caitlin Hayden, the White House National Security Council's spokesperson, told Mashable that the White House has "no comment on a purported intelligence matter" but added that the U.S. is interested in keeping a good relationship with Germany.
"Our security and intelligence relationship with Germany is a very important one and it keeps Germans and Americans safe," she said. "It is essential that cooperation continue in all areas and we will continue to be in touch with the German government in appropriate channels."

- What is a Crypto Market Cap?
In today's article, we will be discussing why price is zero indication of whether a Cryptocurrency is cheap or expensive is – a coin could be $100 and still be cheaper than a coin worth $0.01.
- Does Price Matter?
- How To Find Cheap Cryptocurrencies
- What Does Market Cap Mean?
- Why Only Market Cap Matters
- How Does This Affect Investing?

"What's the best Cryptocurrency under $1?"
People regularly ask this question while in search of the 'next cheap cryptocurrency to invest in' but it makes absolutely no sense as a question.
You're probably thinking:
"What's the problem with this?"
If you don't know, we strongly suggest that you keep reading!
The easiest way to explain is to simply show you a picture of a list of the top Cryptocurrencies.
Check out the screenshot below and notice the red box we've used to circle the price of a Crypto named Ripple.
It's listed as the 4th biggest cryptocurrency on Coinmarketcap.com (the biggest website for checking up-to-date Crypto prices) and yet a single token costs just $0.21 (21 cents).
How can that be?
It's so cheap that surely it can't be one of the biggest cryptocurrencies?!
Now, we've included the same picture again below and we want you to look at it and do 2 things:
- Look at all of values under the price column for those top 10 (red column)
- Now look at the values under the column 'market cap' (blue column)
Do you notice that the top 10 cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) aren't ordered in terms of price?
But they ARE ordered from the highest market cap to the lowest.
Why Is That?
Because the 'value of a cryptocurrency coin/token' has nothing to do with price BUT it has everything to do with market cap.
And that's why…
When you are trying to find the next cheap cryptocurrency that may increase 100x, you need to stop looking at price and start looking at market caps.
In a second, we're going to explain exactly what crypto market cap means and why it's so important.
First though, we know that some of you have probably found this information helpful and are ready to move on which is why we're going to give you this tip right now which is…
We're not talking about fake cheap coins that may cost just 21 cents but aren't really cheap at all. We're talking about genuinely cheap coins that have the potential to increase 10x, 100x, maybe even 1000x.
All you have to do is go on the 2nd best website in cryptocurrencies (guess which is number #1) called Coinmarketcap.com which is where we took those screenshots from above from.
It will automatically show you the top 100 coins, ordered by market cap.
Cryptocurrency Market Capitalization Defined
In other words, ordered from most expensive to least expensive.
As you scroll down the list, you'll gradually reach the cheaper coins which have the potential to increase a whole lot more than the coins at the top.
Beware: Do not take this as advice for coins you should buy!
These coins nearer to the bottom are cheaper for a reason and they're also a much bigger risk.
The higher the reward, the bigger the risk.
What you need to do is learn how to analyse coins to see which of these cheap coins are undervalued; this is the Warren Buffett method of investing and this is our way too at Crypto Gurus.
Better yet, what if someone analysed the market and found cheap coins for you?
Check out our articles page, hit the 'Reviews' tab and you can see some of our research on the most undervalued coins in the market right now!
Now that you guys know what a cheap cryptocurrency actually is – one with a low market cap, not necessarily a low price – let's move on to what market cap actually means.
Market capitalisation is the market value of a Cryptocurrencies outstanding coins. In other words, if you were to add up the price of all of the circulating coins of a Cryptocurrency, you would find the market cap.
For the mathematicians out there, you'll probably prefer a formula so here it is:
Market Cap = Coin Price x Coin Supply
Another way to think of the market cap is this:
The market cap is the amount of investment currently in a Cryptocurrency.
Remember this sentence because it's very important!
Let's rearrange the previous formula quickly so that we can see coin price more easily:
Coin Price = Market Cap / Coin Supply
Now, we'll use an example to explain why coin price means very little.

Already done that?

Anyway, let's get back to the content!
Please check your email for the confirmation link.
Let's say you have a coin called Crypto Gurus Coins:
- The Crypto Gurus Coin has $100 million invested into it i.e. it has a market cap of $100 million
- The Coin supply is also 100 million
What will the price be?
Coin Price = $100 million/100 million
Therefore, the coin price = $1
But, what happens if we reduce the supply to 10 million?
Coin Price = $100 million / 10 million
Now, the coin price = $10
Even though the same amount of money is invested in the coin, as ingle coins is suddenly worth 10x the value before.
Why is that?
Because token price is affected by supply
This point above is also incredibly important and you should try to remember it!
The reason that this is so important is because:
All cryptocurrencies have a different supply
Let's say a coin has a supply of 100 billion.
How much will have to be invested for it each token to cost $1?
Using our formula:
Coin Price = Market Cap / Supply
$1 = Market Cap / 1 billion
The market cap would have to be $1 billion. In other words, the total investments in the coin would have to be $1 billion for the token price to just be $1.
Unless the coin is amazing, there is very little chance of this and so it could be overvalued even if it cost just $0.50
What about a coin with a supply of 1 million?
In this case, if just $1 million were invested in the coin, each one would be worth $1!
Which coin do you think is more likely to reach a price of $1?
Obviously, it's the one with a supply of just 1 million And, it's for this exact reason that you cannot use the token price as a guide!
A coin can be $10 and be very cheap while another coin can be $0.01 and expensive
When we say 'cheap' and 'expensive', we're referring to the amount invested in them because this is the key factor to decide how much they can increase:
- A 'cheap' coin can increase 10x, 100x, 1000x relatively easily
- An expensive coin cannot increase so much because it is already expensive
Let's use an example to explain:
- Coin A has a market cap of $10 million
- Coin B has a market cap of $100 million
Therefore, the total investments in Coin A are $10 million and the total investments in Coin B are $100 million
For Coin A its market cap to increase 10x, it would simply require that the investments increased to $100 million i.e.
a $90 million increase
For Coin B to increase its market cap 10x, it would require that investments increased to $1,000 million ($1 billion) i.e.
You have Successfully Subscribed!
a $900 million increase
Which is more likely to increase 10x?
Assuming all other things are equal, coin A is much more likely to increase 10x because it requires much less extra investment to do so.
When investing, you always have to consider the risk/reward ratio – coins with lower market caps might have much higher potential returns but they also carry higher associated risk.
A smaller percentage of any portfolio should be committed to the higher risk coins.
In other words, larger market cap coins should make up a larger portion of a good portfolio than smaller cap coins.

Southeast Asia
Hinduism is the world's third largest religion (following Christianity and Islam). However, as the result of foreign influences and other divisions, its practices and beliefs tend to vary slightly between geographic regions or social groups. The most widely recognized Hindu traditions are often those with the most widely distributed or greatest number of adherents. A combination of these two factors has likely led to the popularity of the Thaipusam festival celebrated throughout India and other parts of Southeast Asia.
Celebrated by the Tamil (an ancient populace that is now spread primarily across India, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka), Thaipusam is often an opportunity to exhibit one's religious devotion. The festival celebrates the story of a battle between two groups of deities, the Suras and Asuras. The former, having suffered multiple defeats, finally entreated the goddess Parvati (recognized as the source of victory for good over evil). In assistance, she provided Murugan (her son and the god of war) with a powerful javelin so that he could help the Suras defeat their enemies. The nature of this tradition, which recognizes the benevolence of Parvati, has led Thaipusam to also serve as a time to seek aid from or express gratitude to the gods.
The traditional practice on Thaipusam is to offer something to the gods in return for their aid. The offerings are known as kavadi, and in their simplest form involve gifts such as pots of milk. However, the term kavadi implies much more than a gift, it indicates a burden. Hindus participating in the festival willingly undertake hardships as proof of their devotion. This may mean the traditional practice of carrying one's gift for the gods, usually upon the head, to the temple. However, many choose to exhibit their faith in a more demanding and somewhat gruesome way.
Kavadi often take the form of body piercings, which can become extremely elaborate. The simplest forms often involve a rod that extends through the tongue, preventing speech as its bearer proceeds to the temple. The purpose of such piercings is to serve as a constant reminder of the gods, allowing for complete focus on devotion during the religious holiday. For those seeking a greater challenge, complex structures of piercings are often created, with longer lances serving as symbols of the javelin given to Murugan according to Hindu tradition. Even the lightest of burdens, however, demands a great deal from worshipers on Thaipusam; the journey to the temple often requires them to carry their kavadi for several kilometers.
An even more difficult journey awaits practitioners in Malaysia, home to an ancient temple at the Batu Caves. Hindus bearing kavadi trek up to fifteen kilometers before reaching the religious site, where almost three hundred steps stand between them and the entrance to the caves. Practitioners carry massive pots of milk and other offerings, often supported by the piercings characteristic of Thaipusam, for hours before they are able to present them to be offered at the temple. The holiday, during which its observers willingly endure pain and suffering, stands as a rare and unique example of devotion.

Pittsburgh's goin' to the Super Bowl! Here we go!
Friday, January 16, 2009
4 posts in one week! A blog record for jsins.
I finally have a place to sit and knit in my new apartment. My new couch was delivered yesterday and is super comfortable. I can foresee many hours spent knitting away on it.
And what will I be knitting away on? I've cast on a pair of cuff-down socks with some Noro Kureyon Sock yarn from my stash. I've never knit with Noro and I'm finding the color changes to be very exciting. I'm never quite sure how it's all going to come together until the next color pops up. The yarn is a bit crunchy but not in a bad way. The knitted fabric feels much softer than the yarn itself does as you knit with it.

Keeping my Buddy Warm
After about 3 hours of cutting, ironing and sewing, Buddy was the proud owner of a new jacket. We weren't sure if he would like it as he as been generally averse to any kind of doggie clothing but, given its blanket-like nature, he was quite pleased with the result and did not like having it taken off for modifications.

Here we go Steelers! Here we go! Pittsburgh's goin' to the...
One game left before I can publish the rest of that thought without fear of retribution by the football gods. C'mon Stillers!!!!
I've been awol for a while but alot has been going on in jsinsland. I've moved into a new apartment that I love. I will post pics as soon as things start to come together in a photo-friendly way. I have lots of household-oriented sewing projects planned. There are lots of curtains to be made to say the least. I have a new couch coming this week so I will have some prime knitting space and the guest bedroom will serve a dual purpose as my sewing room!!! I am so excited to be in my own place. The roomates that I've had over the last few years are great friends and I enjoyed living with them but it is time to branch out on my own! I also have plenty of storage space (5 closets to be exact) in which to keep the stash from cluttering up the entire space.
I have been knitting and sewing over the past several months. I've been catching up on taking pictures of everthing and will break the updates into several posts throughout the week. Today's post will highlight my Steelers-related FOs.
The first are my new tried and tested Steelers socks. I debuted these puppies during the final regular season game against the Cleveland Browns to ensure that they were winners before wearing them for the playoffs. They are now 2-0 and, therefore, a very successful knit.
Here We Go Stillers Socks!
Yarn: Claudia Handpaints Steelers Colorway 2 skeins
Pattern: Judy's Magic Cast-On and Wendy's Generic Toe-Up Sock Pattern
Needles: Size 2 32" Knitpicks fixed circular for sock, Size 10 1/2 Knitpicks Option for binding off
Notes: These socks were knit one at a time using Magic Loop. The knit up quickly when I focused on them. I jumped to a 10 1/2 needle for the bind-off having not gone large enough on my Gryffindor socks, which are manageable but a bit difficult to get on and off.
The second project is a pair of ballband dishcloths that I made for my new apartment called The Steelers are doing my dishes! and The Steelers are doing my dishes Part Deux!
The Steelers are Doing My Dishes!
Yarn: Peaches and Creme Solids 1 skein Yellow and 1 skein Black.
Pattern: Ballband Dishcloth by Peaches and Creme as featured in Mason-Dixon Knitting
Needles: Size 7 straight needles, plastic from my great grandmother's stash
Notes: These knitted up quickly. I was able to get two coordinating ballband dishcloths out of the 2 skeins of Peaches and Creme with a little bit left over. I am using the leftovers to make a striped garter stitch dishcloth. My Steelers earrings are the embellishments in the dishcloth pics, one is a Steelers home helmet and the other is Troy Polamalu.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and wish you a great 2009!
