Hello everyone!
It has been quite crazy for me. My job at the Department of Veterans Affairs has been working me hard and it's a bit to get use to.
I attended the NWAS Annual Meeting on September 14th to present the Recurring Rossby Wave Train research and feel it went very well. Once the NWAS updates the presentations to become available I'll let you know! A shout out to those who continue to support me via the GoFundMe account! Without your support, I would not have the ability to attend these conferences!
One a side note, I had the luxury to discuss the #organicforecasting method to Ginger Zee of GMA!

Asymptomatic ulcerative colitis and pyoderma gangrenosum
p. 281
Arti Nanda, Bhushan Kumar, D Bishan Radotra, Rakesh Kochhar, Surrinder Kaur
A Total of 11 patients of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG); 5 males and 6 females were observed over 8 years. The ages ranged between 35-72 years. Nine patients were associated with ulcerative colitis, one with chronic renal failure, and one was labelled idiopathic. Three of the 9 patients of PG, who had ulcerative colitis presented first with skin lesions and had clinically silent, but acute, ulcerative colitis, diagnosed only after colonoscopy and rectal biopsy. This highlights the need for investigation including colonoscopy and biopsy even in asymptomatic patients of PG. Most of the cases benefitted from medical treatment (Corticosteroids + Salazopyrin).

Leprosy among school children in Trivandrum city
p. 286
S Ramani Wesley, Gopalkrishnan TV Nair, BKH Nair
School surveys followed by contact surveys were done in an urban area to studv the epidemiology of childhood leprosy. In a survey of 10, 112 school children in the urban leprosy zone under the Trivandrum Medical College Hospital. leprosy was detected in 55 (a prevalence of 5 per 1000 school children) of these 5 (9%) had multibacillary leprosy. Prevalence rate was more in boys than in girls (M:F ratio 1.6:1). More cases were seen in children above 10 years and this preponderance was more in boys. The prevalence of leprosy was more in Government schools than that in private schools. The majority of children had only single lesions which were on exposed parts of the body. Examination of intrafamilial contacts of cases and matched controls revealed leprosy in 20 houses (47%) among cases, and in 3 families (5%) among controls. Majority of younger children (81%) below 10 years of age had source case in the family itself. The father was the most common (58%) primary source of infection. Majority of index cases (73%) were multibacillary. This study reaffirms the value of school surveys and contact tracing in the detection of leprosy in urban areas.

p. 289
SM Singh, AK Barde
A clinico-mycological study of 75 suspected cases of superficial mycoses occurring at Balaghat (MP) was done. Out of these 51 cases were both KOH as well as culture positive. Among these 51 cases, 33 were of onychomycosis and in the rest of the cases either skin and/ or both nails were infected. Among the isolates recovered, 27 were of dermatophytes, 22 non- dermatophytes and 4 yeasts. Trichophyton rubrum was the only species recovered among dermatophytes. The most prevalent among non dermatophytes were Hendersonula toruloidea. Microascus cinereus, Fusarium solani. Trichosporon sp. Canadida Curvularia lunate, Chaetophoma dermo-unquis, Geosmithia putterilli. Eupenicillum pervum, Phialophora bubakii and Phoma multirostrata. The use of cycloheximide free medium is recommended in the isolation of non-dermatophyte aetiologic agent causing superficial mycoses.

Date: Tue Feb 25, 1997 1:03:59 PM
Times have certainly changed since the earliest pioneer days of the world wide web (as it was called then) explosion. The WWW protocol was launched in 1995. Internet Service Providers proliferated. Most individual sites in this new protocol were written as sub-domains as shown in the examples 1 and 2 below, and as the technology of domain mapping evolved, companies began pushing secondary domains to companies and individuals shown in example 3, as well as the hype witnessed below in Bill Shaw's post in italics.
1) http://www.hostcompany.com/~mysite/
2) http://mysite.hostcompany.com
3) http://www.mysite.com
Why does willingness to spend $50 a year for a domain name make a company legitimate? The thing that's stopping me from MY own domain name isn't the cost of registration. It's the cost of HOSTING the domain. I've been told those costs average in the $100/mo. neighborhood. Is it possible that I've got this wrong?
I'm hoping that there may have been a LE member that has dealt with this, and can offer me some help.
Thanks again,
Bill Shaw
Shattered Records
Bill, a few months ago when I was interested in registering my own "real" domain name I found this company called TABNET [http://www.tabnet.com/]. For $75 (it's now only fifty) TABnet handled all the paperwork with InterNIC (the official domain registration clearinghouse of the Internet). Internic billed me $100 for the first two years registration, and will bill me fifty a year thereafter. Meanwhile for 30 Mbs of virtual server space on a wickedly fast Apache system geographically located in Mountainview CA (I'm in Washington, DC) I pay $30 per month. While this isn't free, it's not the $100/month neighborhood you were mentioning. Should I choose to leave TABnet, they will forward all my registration documentation to the new server for free. They even allow unlimited E-mail addressing. In other words, firstname.lastname@example.com will be forwarded to your main E-mail address at your local IP provider. Yes, you must maintain local Internet access, unless of course you live in Mountainview CA.
And by the way, my barely begun site is located at http://www.imote.com.
Trust I've been of some service,
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 16:46:07 -0500 (EST)
I saw your post in the LE Digest. Yep, Tabnet is the way to go. I keep it a secret here where I live because I have a website hosting company that I run with my TABNET site. I charge $9.00 a month, and with just four accounts, I pay for all of my online services for a year!

In mobile development there is a need for architectural frameworks, but complex frameworks designed to be used in web environments may end up damaging the development process or even the performance of our app. Because of this, some time ago I decided to introduce in all of my React Native projects the leanest framework I ever worked with: Redux.
Redux is basically a state container for JavaScript apps. It is 100 percent library-agnostic so you can use it with React, Backbone, or any other view library. Moreover, it is really small and has no dependencies, which makes it an awesome tool for React Native projects.
Step 1: Install Redux in your React Native project.
Redux can be added as an npm dependency into your project. Just navigate to your project's main folder and type:
npm install --save react-redux
By the time this article was written React Native was still depending on React Redux 3.1.0 since versions above depended on React 0.14, which is not 100 percent compatible with React Native. Because of this, you will need to force version 3.1.0 as the one to be dependent on in your project.
Step 2: Set up a Redux-friendly folder structure.
Of course, setting up the folder structure for your project is totally up to every developer but you need to take into account that you will need to maintain a number of actions, reducers, and components. Besides, it's also useful to keep a separate folder for your API and utility functions so these won't be mixing with your app's core functionality. Having this in mind, this is my preferred folder structure under the src folder in any React Native project:
Step 3: Create your first action.
In this article we will be implementing a simple login functionality to illustrate how to integrate Redux inside React Native. A good point to start this implementation is the action, a basic function called from the component whenever we want the whole state of the app to be changed (i.e. changing from the logged out state into the logged in state).
To keep this example as concise as possible we won't be doing any API calls to a backend – only the pure Redux integration will be explained.
Our action creator is a simple function returning an object (the action itself) with a type attribute expressing what happened with the app. No business logic should be placed here; our action creators should be really plain and descriptive.
Step 4: Create your first reducer.
Reducers are the ones in charge of updating the state of the app. Unlike in Flux, Redux only has one store for the whole app, but it will be conveniently name-spaced automatically by Redux once the reducers have been applied.
In our example, the user reducer needs to be aware of when the user is logged in. Because of that, it needs to import the LOGIN_SUCCESS constant we defined in our actions before and export a default function, which will be called by Redux every time an action occurs in the app. Redux will automatically pass the current state of the app and the action occurred. It's up to the reducer to realize if it needs to modify the state or not based on the action.type. That's why almost every time our reducer will be a function containing a switch statement, which modifies and returns the state based on what action occurred.
It's important to state that Redux works with object references to identify when the state is changed. Because of this, the state should be cloned before any modification.
It's also interesting to know that the action passed to the reducers can contain other attributes apart from type. For example, when doing a more complex login, the user first name and last name can be added to the action by the action created and used by the reducer to update the state of the app.
Step 5: Create your component.
This step is almost pure React Native coding. We need a component to trigger the action and to respond to the change of state in the app. In our case it will be a simple View containing a button that disappears when logged in.
This is a normal React Native component except for some pieces of the Redux boilerplate:
- The three import lines at the top will require everything we need from Redux
- 'mapStateToProps' and 'mapDispatchToProps' are two functions bound with 'connect' to the component: this makes Redux know that this component needs to be passed a piece of the state (everything under 'userReducers') and all the actions available in the app.
Just by doing this, we will have access to the login action (as it is used in the onLoginButtonPress) and to the state of the app (as it is used in the !this.props.user.loggedIn statement)
Step 6: Glue it all from your index.ios.js.
For Redux to apply its magic, some initialization should be done in the main file of your React Native project (index.ios.js). This is pure boilerplate and only done once:
Redux needs to inject a store holding the app state into the app. To do so, it requires a 'Provider' wrapping the whole app. This store is basically a combination of reducers. For this article we only need one reducer, but a full app will include many others and each of them should be passed into the combineReducers function to be taken into account by Redux whenever an action is triggered.
About the Author
Emilio Rodriguez started working as a software engineer for Sun Microsystems in 2006. Since then, he has focused his efforts on building a number of mobile apps with React Native while contributing to the React Native project. These contributions helped his understand how deep and powerful this framework is.

Employee Insurance and Benefits - UTDBP3052
Policy Statement
UTD sponsors or participates in several insurance and benefit programs which are intended to assist all University employees in the attainment of their personal insurance and security goals at costs lower than would normally be available on an individual basis. These programs include:
- Hospitalization and Medical Insurance
- Dental Insurance
- Vision Care Insurance
- Group Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
- Group Term Life Insurance
- Long Term Disability Insurance
- Unemployment Compensation Insurance
- Workers' Compensation Insurance
- Premium Sharing
- Dallas Teachers Credit Union
- Payroll Savings (U.S. Savings Bonds)
Details for these programs are described in information made available by the U.T. System. Employees must read them carefully. If employees have questions regarding any of the insurance and benefit programs, or want to change existing coverage and benefits, they should contact the Human Resources Office.
Subsequent sub-topics within this subject will describe the various programs usually without referencing specific figures of cost to the employee, amount of coverage, interest rates, etc., due to their changing nature. Any such changes will be automatically conveyed to affected employees by the Human Resources Office when they occur.
Premium Sharing
Premium Sharing pays for part of the cost of medical and dental insurance premiums, unless the employee waives medical and dental coverages. In such instances, a portion of the Employee Only premium sharing amount may be applied toward optional life insurance and/or accidental death and dismemberment insurance costs.
This program makes it possible for employees to participate more completely in the above insurance plans, and by increased participation, stabilization of insurance rates is achieved at costs lower than would normally be available on an individual basis. Additionally, premium sharing is not a consideration for income tax purposes.
Who is Eligible
All employees appointed half-time or more for four and one-half months or more are entitled to receive the full amount of Premium Sharing.
How it Works
The University will make a contribution toward an employee's insurance coverages. The amount of Premium Sharing is set by the General Appropriation Act. An employee who enrolls in group insurance, which costs more than the Premium Sharing amount, will have payroll deductions for the balance of the insurance premiums. If the employee has premiums totaling less than the Premium Sharing, the University will pay the full cost of these premiums. Unused Premium Sharing, however, will not be refunded to the employee.
Automatic Coverage
Certain benefits will be provided to regular employees automatically upon employment. This is referred to as the automatic coverage package. Employees who do not enroll in any of the optional group insurance programs during their initial 60 days of employment will remain in automatic coverage, which is the application of Premium Sharing to a previously determined "benefit package."
An employee covered under the automatic coverage plan who elects coverage of his or her choice substitutes the selected coverage for the automatic coverage and shall not be covered concurrently under the automatic coverage plan and selected coverage plans.
Each employee should carefully consider all coverage and utilize the full amount of Premium Sharing. The Human Resources Office should be contacted for assistance as to how to best take advantage of Premium Sharing.
Hospitalization and Medical Insurance
Benefit Year
A benefit year is defined as beginning September 1st and ending the following August 31st.
The Plan
The U.T. System Self-Insured Health Plan is available to all regular UTD employees. The Plan covers basic hospital expenses and basic doctor expenses for an employee and eligible dependents. An employee may enroll as a member of the Plan within sixty (60) days of his/her initial regular employment. Those employees not enrolling within the sixty (60) day limit can do so later during the annual enrollment period; however, selection of some coverage after the initial sixty (60) days of employment may require Evidence of Insurability. Any employee enrolled in a medical plan is required to be enrolled in the dental plan, and vice versa. This requirement does not apply to the employee's eligible dependents. Coverage of dependent children may be continued to age twenty-five (25), except when a child is disabled, in which case coverage may continue indefinitely with approval of The U.T. System.
Booklets provided by the Human Resources Office provide information on UTD insurance plans. The information in the booklets should be read carefully.
Filing Claims
Medical, dental, and prescription identification cards are provided to a participating employee. These cards indicate the coverage selected and should be shown upon hospital admittance, when seeing a doctor, or visiting a dentist so that charges incurred will be properly filed for Plan benefits. Claims for benefits should be filed by the employee directly if the doctor or hospital is unable to file. Claim forms are available in the Human Resources Office.
Other Considerations
Consult the plan certificate booklet for information regarding subrogation and non-duplication (dual coverage/payment for the same illness or injury), filing for benefits, changes in an employee's family, leaving the Plan, death of a member employee, continuation of previous coverage, and termination of the Plan.
For information regarding coverage of retirees or disabled retirees, see "Hospitalization, Medical and Dental Insurance for Retirees" section.
Health Maintenance Organizations
A free-standing health maintenance organization (HMO) is offered to regular employees and their eligible dependents. For a co-payment per visit, HMO expenses range from routine doctor appointments to major surgery. Emergency services are provided for, with the understanding that the members must make use of hospitals and physicians affiliated with their particular HMO. An employee may enroll as a member within sixty (60) days of his/her initial employment. Those employees not enrolling within the sixty (60) day limit can do so later during the annual enrollment period. Consult the Human Resources Office for more detailed information.
Dental Insurance
A comprehensive dental program is offered to regular employees and their eligible dependents. An employee is provided dental coverage under the automatic coverage from the first day of employment. An employee may enroll eligible dependents in the dental plan within the first sixty (60) days of his/her regular employment. Those employees enrolled in the dental plan are required to be enrolled in a medical plan, and vice versa. This requirement does not apply to an employee's eligible dependents.
The Dental Plan booklet which is available in the Human Resources Office should be consulted for specific benefit coverage and benefit year maximum per individual.
Hospitalization, Medical and Dental Insurance for Retirees
Group health and dental insurance coverages may be retained at the time of retirement provided the employee is eligible to receive a retirement or disability retirement benefit. Please see Retirement Plans, UTDBP3053.
Eligibility Criteria
An employee is eligible to retire and retain his/her group health and dental insurance coverages provided he/she meets the eligibility for retiree status.
- Retirement Benefit: to be eligible to meet the definition of a retiree an employee must be eligible to receive a retirement benefit under one of the state retirement programs.
- The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) has a formula for determining eligibility for retirement benefits. All TRS participants must ordinarily meet this formula to be retirement eligible.
- Optional Retirement Program (ORP) participation is in lieu of membership in TRS. Therefore, the TRS eligibility standards for determining retirement are used for determining ORP retirement eligibility.
- An award letter from the Social Security Administration granting benefits under that program establishes eligibility.
- Disability Benefit: to be eligible to meet the definition of a retiree, an employee must be eligible to receive a disability benefit under one of the state retirement programs.
- The Teacher Retirement System determines whether or not an employee qualifies for a disability benefit after reviewing medical documentation.
- Optional Retirement Program participants may qualify for retiree status due to a medical disability. Proof of such disability may be established by documentation such as a Social Security Administration award letter or a term- life insurance premium waiver.
Death of Employee
The covered retiree's surviving spouse or surviving dependent child(ren), covered under a University-sponsored group health plan at the time of death of a retiree, may continue coverage under the group plan. However, the surviving dependents are not eligible for premium sharing.
Conversion Rights
A University retiree's eligibility for group health insurance shall cease upon the termination of retirement or disability. The retiree or disability retiree shall have the same conversion rights as an active employee upon termination of group coverage. The covered spouse or dependent child(ren) shall also have the same conversion rights.
Group Life Insurance (Term Life)
The Plan
The plan certificate booklet describes the Term Life Insurance Plan available to all UTD regular employees. This booklet should be read carefully. This policy provides term insurance up to four times an employee's annual or academic salary rate. It also provides certain total disability benefits. An employee may also purchase coverage for his/her dependents. An employee may enroll in this Plan within the first sixty (60) days of his/her date of regular employment without evidence of insurability. After sixty (60) days, evidence of insurability will be required. The employee is responsible for any expense incurred during the evidence of insurability process.
Coverage Provided
Benefits Payable for Loss of Life: Life insurance is payable in the event of a death covered by the insurance carrier. Payment of benefits may be in a lump sum or installments to the designated beneficiary. An employee may designate anyone as a beneficiary and may change this designation at any time. Group Term Life benefits for covered dependents are payable only to the employee.
Other Considerations
All claims should be submitted through the Human Resources Office.
In the case of retirement or disability retirement, coverage may be retained in some instances.
Consult the Human Resources Office in all cases to make the necessary arrangements.
Group Life Insurance (Term Life) for Retirees
Employees participating in the Group Term Life Insurance Plan for The University of Texas System may, at the time of retirement, retain reduced group life insurance coverage after retirement, provided the employee has been employed continuously during the ten (10) years prior to retirement. If the employee has been employed for less than ten (10) years, he/she may retain a further reduced group life insurance coverage after retirement.
Long Term Disability Insurance
The Plan
The plan certificate booklet describes the income insurance plan for LTD available to all UTD employees who are employed half-time or more. This booklet, which is available from the Human Resources Office, should be read carefully. The Plan provides a monthly income for participating employees who are disabled by sickness or injury to the extent that they can no longer work for a living. An employee may enroll within sixty (60) days of date of regular employment with the University without evidence of insurability. After sixty (60) days, the insurance will become effective only upon satisfactory evidence of insurability.
Coverage Provided
The Plan guarantees to pay an employee sixty percent (60%) of his/her monthly basic salary (adjusted September 1 of each year) if that employee is not eligible for other income benefits. If the employee is eligible for other income benefits, the Plan will pay the difference up to the sixty percent (60%) guaranteed. The Plan also includes a Disability Plus provision which pays an additional ten (10) percent of covered salary should an employee not be able to perform two or more activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, or eating.
Benefits will begin after an employee has been "totally disabled" (see the booklet for a definition of "totally disabled") for ninety (90) days, which does not have to be a continuous period. Benefits will stop when the employee recovers from the total disability, reaches the age for maximum duration of benefits, or dies, whichever occurs first regardless of when the disability was incurred.
Certain disabilities are not covered under the Plan. These exclusions are noted in the booklet.
Group Accident and Dismemberment Insurance
The Plan
This Plan provides benefits in case of accidental death and certain types of dismemberment, and all UTD regular employees eligible to participate. An employee may enroll within his/her first sixty (60) days of employment or at the period designated for annual enrollment. The plan certificate booklet describes the Accidental Death and Dismemberment Plan and should be read carefully.
Amount of Coverage
Eligible employees may elect accident insurance coverage for themselves from $20,000 to ten (10) times their annualized rate of pay, in multiples of $10,000. The Plan's maximum amount of coverage is one million dollars ($1,000,000).
An employee may also purchase coverage for his/her dependents for an amount up to one-half (1/2) the coverage selected for the employee. Coverage provided for the employee's spouse includes $4,000 for each eligible child. The spouse's coverage is reduced by the amount of each child's coverage. (NOTE: Single parents may ensure their dependent children by purchasing minimum "spouse" coverage.)
Coverage Provided
An employee may designate anyone as a beneficiary and may change this designation at any time. Death or dismemberment benefits for covered dependents are payable only to the employee.
This insurance does not provide coverage during periods of temporary layoff. If an employee is granted an official leave of absence without pay, he/she may elect to continue coverage by arranging with the Human Resources Office to make continued premium payments.
Refusing Employment Offers
An employee who refuses a bona fide job offer as set forth in this policy may be subject to termination (in accordance with UTD Policy & Procedure for Discipline and Dismissal, D8-100.0). If the employee is being reimbursed through WCI for lost time, then that benefit may also be forfeited.
Unemployment Compensation Insurance (UCI)
The Program
This Program, at no cost to the employee, provides financial aid to those employees who become unemployed through no fault of their own and who are actively seeking employment elsewhere while unemployed. A weekly income is provided for a stipulated period of time, dependent upon the circumstances of termination. Coverage extends to all UTD employees and benefits payable to all former employees are through the Texas Employment Commission (TEC). Employees who are on contract to the University may not collect benefits for any weeks of unemployment between academic semesters if that employee has a contract for consecutive academic semesters.
Questions not answered in this policy statement should be directed to the Human Resources Office.
Eligibility Requirements
A former employee is eligible to receive benefits for any period of unemployment if he/she:
- Reports to any employment office in accordance with TEC Regulations,
- Registers for work,
- Files a valid claim in accordance with TEC Regulations,
- Is able to work,
- Is available for work, which includes making an active search for work,
- Serves a waiting period of one week, and
- Has earned a sufficient salary during the base period to qualify. The base period is the first four (4) complete calendar quarters of the last five (5) complete calendar quarters immediately preceding a period of unemployment.
Regular Benefits: The amount of unemployment insurance benefits for which an individual may qualify is determined by his/her earnings during the first four (4) of five (5) calendar quarters preceding a claim. The maximum number of weeks a person may draw regular benefits may vary.
Extended Benefits: Benefits are available equal to 50% of regular benefits during declared periods of high unemployment after regular benefits have been exhausted. Whether or not a person is eligible for extended benefits is determined by the unemployment rate among insured workers on a statewide or nationwide basis.
Program Administration
This program is administered through the Human Resources Office. To assure that all persons leaving University employment receive benefits for which they qualify, Human Resources must have complete information from the appropriate department administrator regarding the circumstances leading up to and resulting in the termination of an employee. A "checkout procedure" (see "Checkout Procedure", this Section), including completion of the Employee Separation form, is designed to provide Human Resources with the needed information.
Employing Department Responsibilities
Reducing University costs under this program requires that every department administrator and supervisor ensure the following actions be taken:
- Obtain facts and maintain written records on all separations so that if claims for benefits are filed by a former employee, they can be properly protested when justified. Records should include performance, disciplinary activities, attendance, and reason(s) for termination,
- Stabilize employment to reduce seasonal layoffs,
- Assist in the "checkout procedure" to determine and properly document reasons for termination,
- Analyze turnover experience to determine and eliminate problem areas,
- Reduce or eliminate the use of extra employees during peak work periods,
- Review work requirements to determine if several part-time employees could be replaced by one (1) or more full-time employees,
- Carefully review applications of prospective employees to determine their abilities to handle the duties and responsibilities required, and,
- Notify the Human Resources Office immediately upon learning of an employee's intent to terminate.
Employee Assistance Program
Employees appointed half-time or more for at least 4 1/2 months are eligible to participate in the University's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at no charge to them or family members using the EAP. The University contracts with an outside firm to provide free counseling for assistance with personal problems, mental health problems, or problems with substance abuse. Visits to the EAP are confidential and brochures available through the Human Resources Office provide information on how to access the EAP.
Supervisors may wish to refer employees to the EAP when performance problems or behavior on the job dictates. EAP counseling sessions last approximately one hour and do not exceed four sessions per problem. Time off during regular working hours for self-referrals should be handled in the same manner as time for medical appointments.
U.T. Dallas and U.T. System administrators strongly support and encourage referrals to the EAP as a means of retaining the skills and experience of employees whose employment might otherwise be adversely affected due to performance problems resulting from personal issues.

It's Fast Friday again and time for another fast and fabulous dinner suggestion. If you are anything like me, by the time Friday rolls around the last thing I want to do is cook a big meal yet we all still have to eat. The dishes featured in this series aren't necessarily fancy but they bring together simple ingredients most people already have in their pantries or have easy access to and allow you to put a real meal on the table in between 30 and 45 minutes. Enjoy and if you have your own fast recipes you want to share, please send them my way and I will in turn share them with all of my readers.
There is nothing like a perfectly ripe pear. Sweet and juicy, for me, eating one is a special treat. The only thing that makes a pear better is coupling it with a bit of salty and pungent gorgonzola cheese. In fact, I love this combination so much that both pears and gorgonzola cheese are kitchen staples. So these ingredients were my inspiration for my latest quick and easy "experimental dinner". ("Experimental dinners" are what I affectionately refer to when I'm pulling together a dish for the first time). And after eating this dinner my entire family agreed that this meal was a success. Not only was it delicious but it was truly fast–as in I was able to pull all of the ingredients together and have dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes.
RAVIOLI w/ GORGONZOLA & PEARS
12 ounces fresh 4-cheese ravioli, cooked according to package instructions
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
dash freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- While the ravioli is cooking, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-low heat.
- When the butter has melted add the shallot and saute, stirring occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes or until the shallots are beginning to soften.
- Add the pears and stir gently taking care not to break the slices. Saute for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the pears are soft.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
- Season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Divide the ravioli between four serving dishes then sprinkle with the gorgonzola cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Serves 4

BetterZip lets you quickly inspect archives without first extracting their contents.
- Extract Only Files You Really Need: If you only need a few files or folders from a larger archive, you don't have to extract the whole thing. Simply drag the files you need from the BetterZip window to any Finder window or the desktop.
- Open Archives Without Extracting: Not only can BetterZip open archives without first extracting them but you can also search for a file using the iTunes-like interface. BetterZip can open and extract archives with the most common formats: ZIP, SIT, TAR, XAR, XZ, GZip, BZip2, RAR, 7-Zip, CPIO, ARJ, LZH/LHA, JAR, WAR, CAB, ISO, CHM, RPM, DEB, NSIS, BIN, HQX, DMG, EPUB, and Winmail.dat.
- Create Archives: Simply drag files and folders from your hard drives, disks, or network places into your new zip file. You no longer have to copy all the files into a temporary folder first. The supported formats are ZIP, TAR, GZip and BZip2 compressed TAR, XAR, 7-ZIP, and RAR (using the external RAR commandline tool). Large archives can also be split.
- Protect Your Data: BetterZip can protect your data with a password and create AES-256 encrypted archives. 7-zip and rar archives can also be protected.
- Update Archives: Add new or updated files to existing archives. Remove any file or folder from an archive, or even move files around inside the archive as if it were a normal folder.
- Make Archives Compatible: Strip Mac-specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux.
What's New
Version 4.0:
- Integration with Other Apps
- The new Finder extension puts all your presets in the Finder's toolbar. Select some files in Finder, click the BetterZip button and choose one of your presets from the drop-down menu to create an archive with these files. Of course, you can also invoke any of your extraction presets on selected archives.
- BetterZip 4 lets you define as many services as you like instead of the preconfigured two that prior versions offered. Use the tools menu in the preset configuration to add a service for the preset with a name of your choosing.
- BetterZip 4 also comes with Automator actions for extracting and compressing as part of a workflow.
- And BetterZip 4 interacts nicely with other apps like Alfred, LaunchBar, and DropZone.
- All this is made possible by enhanced AppleScript support.
- The Favorites Sidebar Received Some Love - In the new version you can rename, copy, move, and delete archives, open an archive in a new window or a new tab, display and treat multi-volume archives as one item. You can also choose to show all files in the sidebar instead of only archives. Also, Finder labels!
- New Drop Bar - Drop files on the new Drop Bar with drop areas for your favorite presets to instantly compress or extract them.
- Navigation Bar - Drill into folders by double-clicking them like in Finder. A folder path is displayed above the archive contents which gives you easy navigation to all parent folders and allows you to drop items directly into them.
- Keep Archives Free of Mac Stuff - When modifying an archive that currently has no Mac specific stuff (metadata, Finder settings, etc.) in it you can now keep all Mac stuff out, add Mac stuff to the archive, or be asked every time what you want to do. Set your preferred option on the General tab of the BetterZip preferences.
- Repair RAR Archives - If you install the external rar command line tool, BetterZip 4 can try to repair damaged archives when opening or extracting them. Recovery volumes are now treated like other parts of a multi-volume rar archives.
- Many More Enhancements Requested by BetterZip Users
- Instead of moving extracted archives to the trash after successful extraction, BetterZip can now move them to any folder.
- Open new formats thanks to XADArchive.framework: PDF - extract bitmap images from PDF files. SWF - extract images and music from Flash files. Both formats are, of course, not primarily archives and are treated as normal files. You can open them as archives by holding down the alt/option key while opening them. Or you can remove them from the blacklist in the preferences (on the "File Types" tab).
- Added zipx and sitx format support.
- Option to display folders above files (menu View > Sort Folders Above Files).
- You can now specify in save presets whether you want to create individual archives when compressing through the operations queue. It's no longer a global setting. Together with the new dynamic services this opens some very cool possibilities.
- Another global option has been moved into the preset: When compressing one folder through the operations queue, don't include the folder itself, but add only its contents in the root of the archive. Together with the option to create individual archives, you can now select a number of folders and compress them through a BetterZip service into individual archives that each don't include the folders themselves.
- Save presets can now add comments to archives.
- Empty windows now show a drop area for files.
- The password manager can now import a list of passwords (one password per line).
- The preview sidebar can now display more file types by using Quick Look.
- Choose a preset from inside the save/open panel and its settings will be loaded.
- The previously "hidden" settings were moved into the preferences window.
- The preferences window can now be resized.
- Added xip and pkg as recognized archive filename extensions. (Not all pkg formats are supported, only xar based.)
- Notifications now include whether archive extraction, creation, and tests succeeded or failed.
- Tar based archives are now extracted faster when using the queue.
- If an archive disappears (e.g., when it is deleted or the disk it resides on is ejected), you will now get a warning with the option to close the window.

In January of 2011, 10 ACE Group Companies agreed to pay $70 million in settlement fees to the New York Workers' Compensation Board after an investigation into whether certain insurance companies had been overcharging policyholders.
ACE Unit ESIS Fights World Trade Center Suit Subpoenas
May 29th, 2013 - An ACE Group unit is asking a federal court to quash subpoenas aimed at it in regards to ongoing litigation from the September 11th, 2001 terrorism attack on the World Trade Center.
ESIS Inc., as successor by merger to Hygienetics Environmental Services Inc., filed a motion in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania seeking to quash or at least modify subpoenas served on it by Verizon New York Inc. The ACE Group company received the subpoenas on April 17th.
ESIS said the writs are seeking information pertaining to ongoing litigation in New York in disaster site litigation pertaining to the World Trade Center. In that suit, a number of litigants are alleging respiratory injuries tied to recovery, restoration and clean-up operations at sites near the twin towers following their collapse when struck by terrorist-piloted jetliners.
While it is not a party to the litigation at present, ESIS said that Verizon "would not foreclose the possibility" that it may yet still seek to join ESIS as a party to the suit.
ESIS received both a document and a deposition subpoena from Verizon. In the matter of both demands, the company said that Verizon is seeking documents or depositions that are not related to claims being put forth against Verizon. ESIS further said that in the case of the deposition subpoena that a schedule of areas of inquiry presented to it are so broad that it would be impractical, if not impossible, to produce deponents who could competently testify.
Hygienetics Environmental is part of Philadelphia-based ESIS, which provides risk management services meant to reduce clients' costs of losses.

I'm one of those people who happen to really enjoy roasted Brussels sprouts, even without a lot of bells and whistles, which I imagine may be a little bit rare.
The Humble Brussels Sprout Becomes Simply Irresistible
I realize that not everyone is a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, as they aren't necessarily the most glamorous of vegetables... they bring their own sort of cabbage-y "aroma", shall we say, to the party—I get it. 😉
But they're an amazing canvas, and when prepared right, with a good dash of love and care, they can truly be an absolutely scrumptious way to get even those picky eaters in your life to gain all those important vitamins and minerals that Brussels sprouts are packed with—like Vitamin C and K, plus folate, fiber and potassium.
When they're seasoned and roasted off, and then drizzled with a creamy parmesan sauce, a generous crumble of smoky and crisp bacon, and a lightly crunchy, golden topping of breadcrumbs, I simply swoon over them.
Who could possibly resist roasted brussels sprouts in a creamy parmesan sauce with bacon?
(I've actually reheated these and enjoyed them for breakfast the next day!) 😉
How to Cook Brussels Sprouts
Once any discolored outer leaves are pulled off these little green globes and the stem is trimmed back a touch (if needed), then cooking Brussels sprouts is quite simple.
You can either halve or quarter them, then blanch them for a few minutes in well-salted, simmering water with a liberal squeeze of lemon juice added (this helps retain their vibrant green color), and then drizzle with oil, salt and pepper to finish
Or, you can give them a bit of extra flavor by roasting them, which is my favorite method.
To Roast:
- Remove any discolored outer leaves and trim back the little stem on the bottom, if needed; then, cut the sprouts in half (or even quarters).
- Drizzle a generous amount of good quality olive oil over them, along with a couple of good pinches of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (dry Italian herbs), plus a liberal squeeze of lemon, and toss together.
- Turn out onto a prepared baking sheet, and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until slightly golden-brown along the edges.
And that's the basics!
All that's left for this Brussels sprouts recipe is to finish these babies off with the simple, rich and creamy parmesan sauce, that touch of bacon, and that final sprinkle of breadcrumbs, and bake a little longer just until the topping is golden.
These roasted Brussels sprouts are sure to quickly become a favorite veggie side fit for a weeknight meal or even a special holiday spread, no doubt about it!
Tips & Tidbits for Roasted Brussels Sprouts in Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
- Choose firm, fresh Brussel sprouts: Try to find firm, bright green, tightly-packed Brussel sprouts that are crisp—if they're older, they'll be a bit discolored, and slightly rubbery.
- Trim the stem and leaves: If the bottom stem is too long or gnarled up, just trim a tiny bit off, along with any discolored/dry outer leaves; then halve or quarter as needed.
- Prepare the recipe elements ahead: You can prepare the creamy parmesan sauce ahead of time, allow it to cool, and keep in the fridge until ready to use; you can also trim/prepare the Brussels sprouts and keep them in a covered container until ready to roast, as well as have the breadcrumbs ready, and the bacon cooked and crumbled.
- Leftover sauce: If you end up with some leftover creamy parmesan sauce, you can treat it like fondue! Just warm up the remaining portion, and dip bread/croutons in it, or even veggies, and serve with white wine.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Parmesan Sauce and Bacon
by Ingrid Beer
Yield: Serves 6
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients for the Brussels sprouts:
• 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon worth)
• 4 strips bacon, cooked til crisp and chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
Creamy Parmesan Sauce: Ingredients:
• 1/2 ounce unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
• 2 large garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
• Salt
• 1/2 ounce all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2/3 cups shredded parmesan cheese
Breadcrumbs: Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Pinch granulated onion
• Pinch granulated garlic
• Pinch paprika
• Pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
-Preheat the oven to 400°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-Toss the Brussels sprouts with the oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the lemon juice, and roast until golden and tender, about 25-30 minutes.
-While Brussels sprouts roast, prepare your sauce: place a medium-size sauce pan over medium-low heat, and add in the butter and the garlic; once butter is melted and garlic is aromatic, sprinkle in the flour and whisk to blend to make a smooth paste, or "roux", and cook that for about 30 seconds; add in the milk, whisking all the while to avoid lumps, and bring to a vigorous simmer, whisking occasionally; reduce the heat and allow the milk mixture to gently simmer for a few minutes to thicken up; off the heat, add the parmesan and whisk that in until smooth; check to see if additional salt is needed; set aside.
-Prepare breadcrumbs by combining the ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside.
-To finish, turn your oven on to "broil"; add your roasted Brussels sprouts to a shallow, oven-safe baking dish in a single layer, and crumble over about half of your chopped bacon; drizzle the creamy parmesan sauce over top, then sprinkle over the panko breadcrumbs, and broil for several minutes until everything is golden-brown and crisp.
-Finish the dish by sprinkling over the rest of the bacon, as well as the thyme leaves, and serve.

We now have a press kit available for A Dragon Named Coal. It includes screen shots, information about the game, and our trailer. Check it out.
We now have a press kit available for A Dragon Named Coal. It includes screen shots, information about the game, and our trailer. Check it out.
We're excited to share with you our first trailer from A Dragon Named Coal. It covers scenes from the entire game and shows off a variety of story related content. If you enjoy it please share on Facebook or Twitter to help support us as we work up towards our Kickstarter's launch.
One of our biggest frustrations with building the pre-alpha 1.0 demo for A Dragon Named Coal was rapidly rolling out content. We were using a combination of Excel Spreadsheets and some pre-built tools from the Unity Asset Store. While this might not sound like a bad thing. Importing the Excel data was a nightmare that resulted in difficult to solve errors. The assets we used weren't scaling very well either. For example it severely limited our questing system and didn't allow for advanced concepts such as quest tracking. To create systems capable of handling our game's complex logic, we decided to roll a few new custom tools.
If you haven't had a chance to play it yet, the demo for A Dragon Named Coal is publicly available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Currently we hold a 4.6 out of 5 rating on GameJolt with over 34,000 plays. If you have a minute go play the demo and vote for us.Play On GameJolt

How did we meet you?
Rachel and I met in the middle of a crosswalk at GDC, 2014. After introducing myself as an orchestral composer, she told me about ADNC and we exchanged info. It was perhaps a 5 minute conversation, but that's the way things go at GDC!
What are you working on specifically with ADNC?
I'll be writing the game's original score – initially, for the public beta and eventually for the full game. Rachel and Ash have created a very large, rich world, and I'm excited to give that world a musical voice.
Your past works
Much of my musical output is in the world of Film, TV, and the occasional viral video. My latest film, MUTED, is airing on HBO this February. I collaborated with Rob Cantor on the video "Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf," for which I composed the string and choir arrangements (I can also be seen as the pianist in the video).
In addition to ADNC, I'm working on a beautiful stop motion game by Federica Orlati called "Ever Yours, Vincent." In it, you play Vincent Van Gogh, who is trying to stifle the onset of madness by restoring his paintings. You can download an alpha preview at GameJolt.

The most expensive items (worth about 100 million rubles.) Offered in the Spa area, Repin and Zelenogorsk. The proposal of expensive land in the lead suburbs of St. Petersburg - they account for more than 70% of the proposals in second place - Vsevolozhsk district (19%). During July, the proposal in Vsevolozhsk area declined - especially noticeable decrease in the number of proposals in the price range of 8 to 10 million rubles.
Related article: 7 stages acquiring suburban real estateProposal houses worth more than 8 million rubles. - Most of it at home quite a large area (average area for sale cottages 300-400 sq. M). Almost all suburban elite proposals located at a distance of no more than 50 km from the ring road and is most often positioned by their owners as a home for permanent residence, but not for seasonal cottage holiday.
But with demand situation is rather the reverse - up to 50% of our customers today, pick up a house for a seasonal residence. Active population of the northern capital is not ready to move en masse into the country, "expensive" customers do not yet consider suburban housing as a complete replacement of the apartment. Otherwise, experts say, a portrait of a buyer this season is not much different from previous years: it is active in people 35-55 years, business managers or owners. As a rule, they have small families - two or three people, many without children. And the choice of housing the most important factors for them - access to transportation and the environment, and landscape environment. Availability of infrastructure facilities has faded into the background, interest in them has declined. This is particularly evident in the resort area where you have business and leisure services, and Vsevolozhsk district that is located close to St. Petersburg shopping centers and other social amenities.
Most buyers prefer the home area of about 250 square meters. m, moreover, increased the proportion of buyers who are willing to buy luxury segment of the home area of 200 square meters. M. popular sites ranging from 15 to 25 hectare. However, in the sector of expensive objects has its own specifics regarding the areas near ponds and parks. For example, at the Vyborg direction or in resort areas customers are willing to buy a smaller area, only to have access to water (or at least overlooking the water) than the same cost, but at greater distances from the water. On the "forest" areas, such as Priozersk, another "trick" - buyers looking for a villa and tend to be low houses in areas covered by forest, creating the illusion of life in the forest. "
Dynamics of sales in the secondary market since the spring of cottages is more or less comforting: customers are becoming somewhat more free in spending, interest in homes of 6-7 million rubles. present. True, the deal with expensive houses 10 million still constitute no more than 5-7%.
Behavior of buyers in the primary market cottage development in general also increased. Elite segment is about 13% of proposals cottage settlements. The most popular suburban towns in the final stages of construction, which are on sale ready to homeownership. True, the price increase speech does not go. The cost of the business class cottages after falling more than 40% by the end of summer 2009 and low spring adjusting prices far below the "peak" performance of summer-2008 to 20-30%.
The cost of houses in the villages of the business class was 7-18 million rubles., An elite class - 22-32 mln., Premium - 48-50 mln. There are cottages, declared to be elite, and 15-20 million, but usually - in the villages, offering a wider range of objects, from zoning to "klassnosti. Leading position on the number of settlements occupy Vsevolozhsk (24%), Vyborg (18%) and Priozersky (18%) areas. The share of the Lomonosov district is 8%, Gatchina - 6%.
There is the primary market and offer engineering prepared plots in attractive locations, the water at the resort areas. True, the ground is difficult to pre-assigned to the elite class. We can only hope that by acquiring the site for 7-10 million, the buyer is unlikely to build on it a frame house. Projects in which developers are offering plots without a contract, a few. The cost of land is on average about 400 thousand rubles. for a hundred. In Priozersk and Petrodvorets district money - about 200 thousand rubles. for a hundred, in the resort - reaches 600-700 thousand rubles. for a hundred. Vsevolozhsk area offer the most extensive, the price a "corridor" - 300-400 thousand rubles. for a hundred.
Andrej Umansky,
Director of the Department of suburban real estate, Academy of Sciences "Bekar":
- Objects business class (up to 10 million rubles.) Today represent 10% of demand, luxury property (from 10 million rubles.) Occupy approximately 5%. Now we can say that market conditions dictated by the buyer. For example, if a house is not completed, the buyer considers how much more money he will have to invest. Of course, then he starts to bargain. Due to the premium seller dropped the price of expensive objects. If previously it could take up to 50% of project cost (extra charge twice), now not uncommon for sales facilities at cost.
Alla Zaitseva,
Deputy General Director of the Company's land "Progal:
- The share of transactions with cottages worth more than 7.5 million rubles. this season is small - about 2%.
Sentence structure in July, has changed slightly. Vsevolozhsk district regained the leadership position, a few lost during the spring season, when activated inexpensive villas for sale - they offer is always increasing in the market at the expense of other areas.
Now Vsevolozhskiy again possesses nearly one-third of all sold on the secondary suburban markets objects. In this case, a significant portion of them are expensive items: for example, almost 40% of land is more expensive 2.5 million rubles. concentrated in Vsevolozhsky district, only 16% are located in Vyborg, and another 10% - in the Lomonosov. Even in the suburbs of St. Petersburg has just over 20% of the supply of expensive sites, and a leader among them, of course, the resort district, which owns 8% of the proposals.
The proposal houses expensive range, worth more than 7.5 million rubles., 43% also belong to the Vsevolozhsk District, with 10% - to Vyborg and Gatchina, in other areas the proportion is less than 7%.

On a hot Fathers Day afternoon, the 10th Annual Appalachian Classic Mountain Bike Race was held at Calhoun County Park near Grantsville West Virginia. This year's proved to be classic yet again. With the track being bone dry, it made for some extremely fast and sometimes slick excitement on the downhill sections.

The husband and wife team of Joey and Mandi Riddle finished third and second in there respected Pro classes. Crossing the finish as the third Pro Woman, was Meredith Erlewine of Athens, Ohio with a time of 2.35.24.
Once again the weekend long event was a huge success with proceeds going to Calhoun County Park. The single-track is awesome, the place is beautiful, and the people are great. I look forward to seeing all of you out there on the trail.

Debt Ceiling Bill Passes House; Senate Set to Vote Tuesday
Debt Ceiling Bill Passes House; Senate Set to Vote Tuesday
House Speaker John Boehner rallied Republicans in the House of Representatives to pass the highly negotiated and controversial debt ceiling bill by a vote of 269-161. After week of intense discussions and a failed effort to pass "Cut, Cap and Balance," the bill found bipartisan support on Monday.
The compromise bill provides for an immediate increase of $400 billion dollars and allows President Obama to request another $500 billion in the next several months.
However, Congress would stop the second installment by a veto proof two-thirds margin. A further increase of $1.2 and $1.5 trillion would be available after a special committee, also known as a "super committee," of twelve members identifies matching levels of spending cuts. The committee must complete its work by Thanksgiving of 2012 and Congress must hold an up or down vote on the recommendations by December 23 of the same year.
Democrats are concerned because the bill does not contain any tax or revenue increases and Republicans are equally concerned that military spending will be severely curtailed.
Earlier today, Democrats demanded that Republicans "carry the water" on this bill. However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke on the floor of the House and announced she would vote in favor of the bill. Boehner, in an unusual move, presided over the House for this historic vote. As a sign of protest, most Democrats did not surrender their votes until the final moments.
The process left many on both sides of the aisle scared and wounded. Boehner was forced to hold two closed-door sessions where he and other GOP leaders had to corral many "Tea Party" freshmen and others who were adamant that spending cuts be a central part of any deal. But it may have been the more private meetings that convinced many conservative lawmakers to make a final commitment.
Vice President Joe Biden made the rounds today, speaking to Democrat lawmakers in both chambers. His meeting with several House members went way beyond its allotted time, with several members of the "progressive" caucus voicing strong objections to the final deal.
"In my 36 years in Washington I have never asked anyone to vote against their conscience," Biden told reporters. "I am simply here to provide information." No one on either side of the debate expressed enthusiasm over the final version.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House majority leader, said the deal is "not perfect," but indicated the bill's passage will start to change the political culture in Washington.
"The big win here for us, and for the American people is the fact that there are no tax hikes in this package," Cantor said. "The last thing we need is tax hikes."
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said he had reservations about the budget deal struck by President Obama, saying, "This is a hard compromise," Cummings told The New York Times. But he added that the "ramifications would be long" if the deal did not go through.
Twitter and other social media outlets were busy before and during the vote.
Columnist Michelle Malkin posted a message on Twitter soon after the vote got underway. "Final passage vote on Bipartisan Crappy Meal now underway in the House."
Noted personal financial guru and author Dave Ramsey delivered the sentiment of many fiscal conservatives in another message posted on Twitter earlier Monday.
"Only in DC can you cut spending by 1 Trillion over TEN years and raise the debt ceiling almost 1 Trillion THIS year and call that even," wrote Ramsey.
When Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) arrived on the House floor with about two minutes remaining in the vote, the chamber erupted in applause. Giffords was wounded in a shooting in January and has been recuperating since. Giffords voted "yes" on the bill.
The vote is now headed for the Senate where a noon vote is scheduled for Tuesday. All indications are it will pass with little difficulty.

Irish soldiers in Risorgimento Italy and Civil War America: Nineteenth-century Irish nation-building in transnational and comparative perspective
O'Driscoll, Florry
MetadataShow full item record
This item's downloads: 1027 (view details)
This study investigates Irishmen who served as soldiers in the Italian Risorgimento and the American Civil War, and their role in Irish nation-building in the mid-nineteenth century. In the first section, the main focus is on specific transnational links uncovered through the analysis of letters penned by soldiers who served both in Italy and the USA in the 1860s. My work addresses the wider historical significance and context of the Irish soldiers' lives, and assesses the key topics revealed and elaborated in the soldiers' correspondence. These topics include issues such as contemporary Irish views on Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi, the service of Irish soldiers in foreign armies, Irish Catholic nationalism, the use of transnational Catholicism for career advancement, and the transatlantic nature of the Fenian movement that aimed to secure national independence for Ireland. This analysis ultimately reveals that these men had a number of different identities coexisting within their military lives. The second and larger part of my study compares the attitudes of Irish soldiers to the most influential themes that affected their motivations for enlisting in Italy and America and, by extension, their identity. In contrast to the men above, these soldiers served either in the Italian Risorgimento or in the American Civil War, but not in both. This approach facilitates a comparative assessment of the different attitudes of Irish soldiers in these nineteenth-century conflicts. Three major core themes motivated the soldiers: Irish Catholic nationalism; an anti-British sentiment; and attitudes to other ethnicities and nationalities. The strength of the bond between Irish national identity and Catholicism, which was the reason why many Irishmen volunteered to fight in 1860, underwent a major test through the experience of battling both with and against fellow Christians in Italy. On the other hand, for many Union Irish soldiers, religious devotion was strengthened by the institutional support provided by the expanding Catholic Church in America, together with a potent anti-British feeling which became exasperated as a result of Britain's sympathy for Italian unification and later for the Confederate States. Both in Italy and the USA, Irish interaction with other ethnicities often resulted in tension. Union Irish soldiers in America, however, felt the additional need to prove their loyalty to their new country, and this led, in many cases, to prejudice and unwillingness to be associated with other ethnic groups, particularly African Americans.
