As it was stated in the rules, "After the deadline the team will evaluate submissions and post the ones that qualify in the forums. Winners will be chosen by the community voting". The art team evaluated the submissions and, according to their opinion, only one qualified, i.e. only one had the necessary characteristics for the team to work on it and bring it into the game. It doesn't mean that all other submissions were bad, but the art team always has the last word on new content and they are extremely meticulous and thorough when it comes to the look and feel of theHunter.
Taking into account that there was only one submission that qualified, community voting has lost its sense, so has the awarding of the 2nd and 3rd places. I can understand that you might feel frustrated, because you spent time on creating your concept, but accusation of lying is a wee bit too strong here. We'll make sure to write the rules even more clear in the future, to avoid misunderstandings, although it's hardly possible to specify all possible scenarios. Please bear in mind that EW (as any other company and any other creator of the competition) always reserve the right to change the rules of our official competitions, if we think that the change will be for the benefit of the game and community.

Your design took the last place in the community voting, which was the final stage. There were a dozen great designs that were not even picked by the art team to go through to the final, so I think your result is still something to be proud of.

Thank you very much. I know this and I am a bit proud, that I could take this hurdle.
There have been a lot of excellent ideas which didn't make it into the voting as you have shown in the "honorable suggestions" - selection.
But even if my one wouldn't have been chosen for the voting, it would have been still ok for me, because I did my best and got a fair chance and it was clear, that not every suggestion will make it into the voting, if there are too much participants or technical problems with a outfit.
But no real "Competition" at all in the end, this would have been really disappointing and I would have been really sad about it.
That's why I understand very well, how the participants here might feel.
In my opinion the design team was too hard here.
It seems, that they already had a very clear idea how the new trophy should look, if they qualified only one suggestion.
I see no technical reasons, why the other ones should be impossible to do, or even more work.
Btw. I still hope that there will be more design competions in the future and that I will have the time to take part in them. But this time I have to say, that I'm lucky, I had not enough time.
Changing the rules in a running process is something that may have its well-founded reasons (as explained several times now by EW); however, it still leaves the feeling of a little uncomfortness, I must say. It is somehow as if a football match result is changed after end of the game because well-founded reasons (e.g. a proof by a video recording) has given new insights. There are better reasons why this is never done, however, even if a referee's decision during the game was definitely wrong. And this is good, because all participants, players, visitors and spectators, can simply TRUST that the given conditions are kept, under all circumstances. It is sort of a gentlemen's agreement, and has ist own , long-term value which may gain a higher weight on the long run than a well-justified short-term action based on a single case.
My chosen comparison (football) may not fit in every respect here, but I think the point is made. The fact that a first tH trophy competition in the community (which had a much higher participation rate)ended without any result (in fact for the very same reason, namely that the art team could not find a single creation that they said was compatible with their own high demand) makes this new situation even less fortunate. It was for sure one reason for the low participation in this second round, but now, I guess, this is completely burnt terrain in the future (even though we have now a winner and a model).
Given that the Art Team is able to create very interesting own trophies on occasion of many special events regularly meanwhile, I wonder why they wanted - and will now ever want again - to ask the community about their ideas, anyway. At least in case of trophies, this is probably not necessary any more - and probably also nothing the community will pick up as a challenge once more ever again.
My 2 cents. And, yes! - congrats to the winner !
I think your art designers should rethink their decision, because of the entries posted and they chose a block of animals that has no inscription center or no place to put a reward like a weapon won or a paper note of $em shows me nothing impressing. If they incorporate it, it seems they should have made it themselves. I seen some pretty good trophies made that look far better than the one that won. No offense to the winner. Which the Art Team could have modified to reflect the hunters theme. I made my entry in 2 hours. Just a simple 3ds max model rendered. NO fancy writing or inscriptions. I just did it for fun. But what really pisses me off is all the people who put time in their prototypes and did not even get nothing for their time. I have to say I was born at night but not last night! So don't act like the innocent rules you made had not played out! I think they did not want a community vote because they are a little laxed and didn't want to see what all the community would vote on. Maybe it would be too hard for them to make or they took the easy way out. I don't really know but you pick the choice. Oh you can always say we reserve the right to change the rules but it all comes down to 1 thing only. Your dignity.

I agree with these last gentlemen opinions. The EW art design team should take a good look into their "mirror" before asking comunity for suggestions which, in the end, won't count.

This is really quite disheartening.
let me know what you think.Thanks Guys.

I like both of your trophies very much, John, great work!
I wish we had more trophies in the game!
1,5 year ago and NOTHING happend. Was this competition just a bad joke? Is EW not interested in doing something which don't bring them cash?
Or does someone really believe, that it's such a difficult thing, to add a new trophie?
The new Outfit (which brought them fresh $$$... ) was in store just a couple of weeks after the competion.
My condolence to all the player who took part in this competion and invested a lot of time and work at it. EW was clearly never really interessted in your ideas.


Clients who own limited companies have seen big changes since 2016-17 to the way in which dividends received are taxed.
Most have probably got used to them but 2018-19 sees another subtle change to the dividend tax rules.
Many clients will be familiar with the concept of the £5,000 "tax free" dividend allowance from their discussions with RNS partners as part of their tax planning.
Some of you will be aware this £5,000 "tax free" dividend allowance drops to £2,000 starting from 1st April.
We will continue to monitor and offer advice on a one-to-one basis.
Partner Rob Smith said: "We always look closely at clients' personal circumstances and marry those to tax efficient profit extraction from their limited companies.
"The mix of salary, pensions and dividends for profit extraction together with retirement planning, succession planning, business expansion and business sale can be complex.
"We are seeing an increasing need to consider strategies for clients who are considering their retirement or perhaps succession planning.
"This can be a complex area where the input of your accountant as tax advisor and an independent financial advisor working closely together is essential to achieve your goals and a tax efficient outcome.
This experience and advice under the trusted RNS banner helps enormously, said Rob.
He has worked on several cases over the past two years with partner and independent financial advisor Andrew Clayton on retirement and exit strategies following business sales.
"As ever it is important to start these conversations early," said Rob.


Suspensions and expulsions in D.C. public and charter schools are disproportionately affecting homeless students, low-income students, black students, and students with disabilities, according to a report from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE).
"At-risk" students—students experiencing homelessness, enrolled in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or under the care of the Child and Family Services Agency— make up 49.9 percent of all students in the enrolled population, yet they made up 84 percent of expulsions in the 2016-2017 school year.
In the same year, 645 students who were identified as homeless received at least one out-of-school suspension. Those students represent nine percent of all students receiving suspensions. The report showed that fewer homeless students received suspensions/expulsions in the 2016-2017 school year than in the previous year.
Grosso, who chairs the committee on education, introduced his Student Fair Access to School Act of 2017 last November in an effort to keep students safe and in the classroom. The bill would limit suspensions in kindergarten through 8th grade to the most severe circumstances and ban suspensions or expulsions in high school for all minor offenses.
Grosso's committee held a public hearing on Jan. 30 to discuss the bill. Jon Valant, an education policy researcher at the Brookings Institution, testified on the effects of implicit bias by school faculty members.
Valant explained that although some situations warrant suspensions or expulsions, in many cases these forms of discipline are overused and can begin to snowball for homeless students. Repeated suspensions or expulsions can affect the way a student is viewed by peers and teachers as well as how he or she views themselves.
Despite the comprehensive OSSE report, there is still a lack of data on homeless students in the district. This is, in part, because of underreporting. It can be hard to know whether a student is homeless if they do not self-report. Consequently, Valant says, much more research needs to be conducted on the challenges homeless students face.
Jamila Larson, the executive director of Homeless Children's Playtime Project, also testified at the Jan. 30 hearing. Playtime Project, which serves 650 children per year, provides children living in shelters and transitional housing sites with a place to play. At its four sites in D.C., the organization ensures that kids are receiving one-on-one attention, that social and emotional skills are fostered, and they are having fun.
Regarding exclusionary discipline, Larson said she rarely sees suspensions or expulsions as being beneficial for any students — especially homeless students.
The cradle-to-prison pipeline is a phrase used by advocates to illustrates how students of color and at-risk students are often pushed out of the education system and into the juvenile or criminal justice system. Taking students out of the classroom through suspension or expulsion can heighten the potential for apathy or delinquency because it forces the student to fall behind academically, making it less likely for him or her to reach graduation.
Illustration by Phillip Black Jr.
To prevent the overuse of suspensions and expulsions, schools must implement alternative disciplinary practices. Larson explained how some schools across the country use restorative justice practices to discipline students by having them acknowledge the harm they did and develop a strategy to repair it. In this way, the conflict can be resolved constructively without taking the student out of the classroom. Some schools offer one-on-one therapeutic support for students and train teachers on how to more effectively help students who are acting out. However, Larson pointed out, services like these require funding and resources to get implemented.
Grosso was quoted in the bill's press release saying that he plans to increase funding for behavioral health staff in schools and professional development for faculty in the fiscal year 2019 budget.
The Student Fair Access to School Act of 2017 remains under D.C. Council review, and the Committee on Education will hold a series of Budget Oversight Hearings beginning on March 28.


The Strahan Cemetery lies .5 miles south of the town of Tilden, Tilden Twp., Randolph Co., Illinois [Section 8 T45 R5W] on the east side Tilden [Plum Creek] Road on land now owned by the Hunter Family Trust. It is reported to have lain behind the present barn on a grassy knoll of trees, which have since been removed along with the tombstones, some of which are propped against a barn. Many have been destroyed or removed, so that little remains of what had been and still is a registered cemetery of Randolph County. For many years there was something of a fence around it, but people reported over the years that livestock had been able to enter and that the fence was not maintained. There is not much of a knoll left, either due to erosion or bulldozing. The tombstones are presently in the safe keeping of the Pyatt Funeral Home in Pinckneyville, Perry County, Illinois.
The cemetery contains the dead of some of the earliest pioneering families in the area from whom a large percentage of people in Randolph County's history descends. James Strahan and his family were in Randolph County before 1818. They were founding members of the Old Bethel Church in Eden under the Rev. Samuel Wylie, who lived next door to the Strahans. To any one's knowledge, though the graves have been plowed for farming, none of the remains have been removed.
The present owners have agreed to the restoration of the cemetery. Now the means, financial and physical, must be found to restore it. If any of you have any photographs of the tombstones as they originally were placed or any photographs of the cemetery or a plotmap or have reason to believe that there are still other persons buried in the cemetery not listed, please contact me. If any of you know where any of the missing tombstones are, please contact me. If anyone returns the tombstones, no questions will be asked.
I have also drawn from a cemetery book by Lucille Wiechens with a transcription done April 10, 1989 and also her most recent revisiting of that cemetery at my inquiry in the past five years. I have also drawn from a transcription done by Virginia (Dickey) White and published in Branching Out (February, 1984), from the transcriptions from the cemetery records at the county courthouse done by Alvin Roscoe Strahan in 1995 and from his and his son Douglas Strahan's personal transcriptions of dates, names, and some of the epitaphs from some of the still existing tombstones on November 23, 1995. I have also drawn from death records of Randolph County which indicate burials, and inference and evidence from family records and written histories. Whenever a burial does not have a tombstone and has not existed in earlier tombstone transcriptions, the information is put in brackets.
First, I will list alphabetically the persons buried in the cemetery by name only, and then I will list the persons in Mrs. Torrens sequence which still reflects somewhat how the bodies lay, with the information on the tombstone and any comments of the relationships of persons and identities known through other sources in brackets. If there are any discrepancies of readings, they will be noted in brackets.
I am 3ggdau of James and Ann Jane (Blair) Strahan, 2gg dau of Blair and Mary Ann B. (McCullough) Strahan, ggdau of Charles McKelvey Strahan and Margaret Ann McIntyre, gdau of Charles Floyd Strahan and Ella Pansy Johns(t)on, dau of Charles Daniel Strahan. I have been working on family history for thirty years and the Randolph County, Illinois material for twenty. Alvin is 2ggrandson of James and Ann, ggrandson of Blair and Mary, grandson of Edwin Francis and Ida J. (Beaver) Strahan, s/o of Roscoe Leander Strahan. He grew up in Coulterville. His grandfather and my ggrandfather grew up on this farm.
What thou art reading now of me.
These are the known or probable burials. There are probably more graves than we know. The only one of James and Ann Jane (Blair) Strahan's children not listed above is Margaret Cathcart (Strahan) Haire, b. 9 Oct. 1807 [Shenango Twp., Crawford Co.,] PA, d. 8 Oct 1874 in Randolph Co., buried in the Old Bethel Cemetery near Sparta, married to John Haire [ Hayer ].
The following persons are listed in order of Mrs. Torrens' compilation, LDS Microfilm No. 897,007: the information is in the form Mrs. Torrens used, which is probably as it appeared on the tombstone, i.e., d. 8-21-1880 rather than converted to 21 Aug 1880.

This tombstone is said to have disappeared, though I have talked with people who have seen it with their own eyes, and Mrs. Torrens lists it in her compilation as does Virginia (Dickey) White in her 1984 compilation published in Branching Out. Evergreen Cemetery, Chester, Randolph Co., IL also lists William and Sarah with these dates as does the Coulterville Cemetery, p. 13 #10 & #11 (LDS Film 559,051). I have yet to learn that her body was ever disinterred and moved.
Strahan Cem Records, Randolph Co., IL as compiled differ. Both Mrs. Torrens' compilation (LDS Film 897,007) and Virginia Dickey White's published in Branching Out (Feb. 1984) has her listed as having a ts at Strahan Cem.: Mrs. Torrens' says "Edmiston, Sarah d. 7-29-1833 age 34 years." Mrs. White's says, "Edmiston, Sarah, d. 7-19-1833, age 34 yrs., wife of William D." And Alvin Strahan's recording of the Chester county courthouse listings has no listing of Sarah Edmiston at all in the Strahan Cemetery!
Her husband was buried at the Coulterville Cem., and she is listed on the tombstones there as well. She was buried in the Strahan Cemetery, its first known burial and then either she moved to Coulterville and/or a tombstone was put up for her in Coulterville. So far no one has evidence that her body was ever exhumed and moved from the Strahan Cemetery, where it probably still lies with her fourteen year old boys.
"Edmiston. At Tilden on Thursday, April 30, Mr. William Edmiston, aged 90 years, 2 months and 21 days.
Funeral services were held on Saturday. The remains, followed by a large procession of friends and relatives, were taken to the Coulterville cemetery for interment.
William Edmiston enlisted as a Pvt. in Capt. John Doak's Co., Tennessee Militia on Sept 28, 1814 at Fayetteville, Lincoln CO. He was assigned to the 2nd Regiment of Mounted Riflemen commanded by Col. Thos. Williamson. This was included in Brig. Gen. Coffee's Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gun-men brigade. They fought at the Battle of New Orleans – Jan 8. 1815. He was mustered out April 27, 1815 at Nashville.
Joseph S. Guthrie was born in 1808 in Virginia. He was James Strachan's executor, and may have been his nephew, the son of the sister that is said to have immigrated from Ireland with James and a brother John (Joseph?) A Nancy Guthrie appears in the 1820 census of Randolph Co. and a James S. Guthrie appears in the 1825 state census in the Plum Creek Precinct, Randolph Co.
Jane Blair (Strahan) Lindsay was the oldest child of James and Ann Jane (Blair) Strachan or Strahan, who was born in Steubenville, Ohio in 1801, a year after her parents' marriage in Ireland in 1800. They soon afterward settled in Shenango Twp., Crawford Co., Pennsylvania with her Blair grandparents Hugh and Jane (Thompson) Blair and their several children who had followed James and Ann Strahan to the region. After 1814 and before 1820 they migrated to Tilden Precinct, Randolph Co., IL, where they bought this land from a Nathan Davis and were the first to farm it. Jane lived with her husband Thomas near Red Bud, Illinois most of her life, in log cabins at first. Hers is one of the last known burials in the Strahan Cemetery. It and the farm eventually passed to the youngest son Blair Strahan and then to her descendants into the 20th century, when it then passed to the Hemphills, a more distantly related family and then to William Temple Hayer, Jr and then to the present family. Eventually it came into the possession of a descendant of Jane's sister Margaret Cathcart (Strahan) Haire or Hayer, who, not knowing about the cemetery and his ancestors and kin who were buried there, sold it to his nephew by marriage, who is married to a Hemphill and has now passed it to his children in a trust. This lack of awareness may be because Margaret Cathcart (Strahan) Haire, wife of John, is the only child of James and Ann known to have been buried elsewhere, with her husband in the Old Bethel Cemetery near Sparta.
b. 17 Feb. 1809 d. 14 Sep 184 55y 5m 16d. Alexander Washington McGuire was the son of John McGuire (War of 1812) b. 25 Jan 1770 in Lineskea Parish, County Fermanagh, Ireland, and Jane Linn and grandson of John Linn (Rev. War), who was of Scottish descent and came from Ireland to Chester Co., S.C. aboard ship Lord Dun Luce in 1772 with the Rev. William Martin, who had organized the emigrations from Ballymena Par, Co. Antrim, Ireland. John was brother to the eminant divine in A.R.P. Church the Rev. Matthew Lynn and one of first ruling elders of Union Congregation.
According to Dr. Simon Cameron Edmiston, whose mother was Mary Ann, dau. of Alexander Washington and Nancy (Strahan) McGuire, John McGuires's great grandfather was among the twenty-six head of families of the McGuires who returned and settled on their old lands in 1606 after swearing an oath of allegiance to the King of England. They had been driven off by an army under General Chicester.
"When John was 12 his older brother, who was a sugar planter in Cuba, sent him money to pay his fair to Cuba, where he hoped to help the lad along. The boy shipped for Cuba but never arrived at his intended destination. His ship had instead put in to Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, where John McGuire was stranded. The Colonial authorities soon took him in charge and bound him out to a Hatter, where he learned that trade. This interruption of his journey is subject to explanation in this way. The time was the closing years of the Revolution. Nearly all of the English miliary forces were in the South and the English Fleet was blockading the southern coasts. The Carolinas were being overrun by the military forces under Lord Cornwallis; Charleston had fallen into their hands and North Carolina was being overrun by the British, where small squads of the patriots under Morgan, Lincoln, Sumpter, Marion. Co. Ferguson's command of 1200 had lately been destroyed by Col. Campbell and Major William Edmiston, in a battle at King's Mountain. Lord Cornwallis was soon to surrender at Yorktown. The English Battle Fleet was overhauling all ships found without English Register, and confiscated if caught trading with the colonists."p.p 60-61 John McGuire located at Princeton in the Northwest Territory about 1795 and for 15 years endured the "Indian menace". In September 1811 danger ended with defeat of Chief Tecumseh on the Tippicanoe Creek. John McGuire in the War of 1812 was sworn into the service by Squire Davison Challot, July 26, 1814 and served under Col Hamilton in the Third Rifles Regiment" (p. 64 ).
Alexander was married to Nancy (Strahan) McGuire (see below), dau of James and Ann (see below).
No tombstone has been reported for her in the Strahan Cemetery; however, her death record has it that she was a life resident of 1st Ward Sparta, died of apoplexy, and is buried in Tilden Precinct. Since no tombstone has been reported anywhere else in Tilden, it is reasonable to infer that she is buried in the family cemetery with her husband.
Henry L. [Linn] McGuire was born about 1811, the youngest son of John and Jane Linn McGuire, brother of John and Alexander Washington. He is listed by Mrs. Torrens, Mrs. Wiechens, and the county courthouse. No one listed his epitaph until Douglas Strahan transcribed it in November 23, 1995. If anyone knows how he and his wife died on the same day or if this is fact or if he had any surviving children, please contact me. He and his wife had been married five years when they died.
Henry's tombstone is one of the great mysteries because it has the same dates of death except his is 1836 as his wife's Elizabeth F. same day Nov. 2 but 1835. According to some people's accounts he and Elizabeth Campbell are supposed to have had four daughters: including a Jane Melinda, Nancy T., Elizabeth Campbell (buried here), and Mary Ellen born after his death. Other records indicated that he survived to marry a Margaret Lyon in 1837 and to have several additional children by her and live until 1874!
Mary Ann Strahan was the second child, oldest daughter of James and Ann Jane (Blair) Strahan, b. 1805 in Shenango Twp., Crawford Co., PA. She came to Randolph Co., Illinois with the family. She is listed (by age) with her parents in the 1820 census but not in the 1830. Charlotte Blair Stewart, General Research Chair of The Blair Society, says she found a note on this Mary Strachan as married to a George H. Mulligan in Lois Meyers The Descendants of the Rev. Hugh McMillan (available through LDS microfilm No. 9599425):"Descendants of Rev. Hugh McMillan; William Edmiston; Hugh Blair; and Hugh C. Gault by Lois Myer, Rev Hugh McMillan of Co. Antrim Ireland William Edmiston & Margaret Montgomery of MD and VA, Hugh C. Gault, born 1793 in NC & Nancy Mary AskinsHugh Blair of Ireland and Jane Thompson (LDS No. 0599425).
Ann Jane (Blair) Strahan was b. in 1777 to Hugh Blair and Jane Thompson, possibly in Donegore, Co. Antrim, Ireland. She married James Strahan in Ireland in 1800 and was in this country for their first child Jane to have been born in Steubenville, Ohio in 1801. She and James settled in Shenango Twp., Crawford Co., Pennsylvania, where all of their remaining children were born. Between 1814, when their youngest son Blair was born, and 1820 Fed. Census in Tilden, Randolph Co., PA they had migrated with their family, coming with James Coulter, after whom Coulterville was named. They bought land in 1822 from a Nathan Davis and were probably the first to farm the farm, where the cemetery now lies.
James may have died in a cholera epidemic that followed the Black Hawk War.
James Strachan, b. 1777 in Ballymena Par., Co. Antrim, Ireland, was of yoeman stock, meaning landholding not peasant: when he came to Pennsylvania he bought land as he did when he came to Randolph County. The probate records has his death to be in 1833 (contrary to transcriptions of the tombstone). His parents were probably a John and Mary or Mary Ann (Davison? Cathcart?) Strachan. [A George Strachan in Ireland b. 1780 married a Sarah Davison and the name Davison comes from son of David: James named his first son John David, perhaps taking a mother's surname as the 1st sons middle name (as was the custom), and the third daughters middle name was Cathcart.] After marrying Ann Jane Blair in Ireland in 1800, probably in the Seceder Church near Donegore, Ballymena Par, Co. Antrim, he emigrated to the United States.
The couple had their first child Jane Blair in Steubenville, Ohio in 1801 and were there in 1802, according to an extant letter in the possession of Charlotte Blair Stewart, who also has a letter of a person who attended their wedding in Ireland. They soon settled in Shenango Twp., Crawford Co., Pennsylvania where they were joined by her parents and others of her siblings. In Crawford Co. James and Ann had the rest of their children before migrating to Randolph Co., Illinois before 1818.
Charlotte Blair Stewart, Gen. Research Chair of The Blair Society, believes that the Blairs and these Strahans were probably involved with the United Irishmen, who as Protestants and Roman Catholics working together in the Rebellion of 1798, attempted to attain in Ireland the independence that the United States had achieved by our Revolutionary War. The revolution failed, and the Blairs and Strahans immigrated to the United States shortly thereafter.
Dr. Simon Cameron Edmiston in The Genealogy of a Branch of the Edmiston Family includes a section on his mother's family: the Strachans and the McGuires. He asserts that the Strahans could be found in Brooklyn by 1795 and that James came with a brother John and a sister, who married a Blair, and that the John came on to Illinois with James. I have as yet to find evidence of James being in this country before 1800 or certain evidence of a brother John being with him in Illinois. There is a Joseph Strachan, who holds a land grant in the area of Randolph County as early as 1819. However, I have not seen further evidence of this Joseph.
The immigrant Strachans (Scotland to Ireland) settled in back in Ireland in primarily three places: Broughshane, Keady, and Co. Cork. The Broughshane, Ballymena Par (later Rathkenny and Lisnacrogher and Clough?) Co. Antrim group were Presbyterians. The Keady, Co. Armagh, group were or became Church of Ireland; they came to Keady from Ayr, Scotland. (The Broughshane group may also have come from Ayershire) The Co. Cork group were Roman Catholic, by and large. The Broughshane (and later Rathkenny) group descend from James Strachan of Broughshane and his children. Possibly all of these branches of Irish Strachans/Strahans were related at one time.
James Strachan of Broughshane had three sons and a daughter. The sons seem to have been a George, a Samuel, and a Matthew. The daughter was a Jane who married a Wilson (as per her brother George's will). The Samuel moved to Lisnacrogher, dates unknown, landed in Carrickfergus [email from Wendy Strahan, Perth, Australia, dated Oct 28, 1998]. The Matthew (or perhaps the later Matthews) was probably the cloth manufacturer who emigrated to the United States and has descendants in Oklahoma and Texas.
The George is the only one whose will we have. He married [Ann Speers ?], had six sons and a daughter: James, John, Gordon, George, Matthew, Sarah, and Samuel. The James moved to Linsacrogher and had four sons and a daughter: George, Ann, Matthew, James, and Thomas. The John s/o George, who probably was our Jame's father, had at least three and probably five sons and a daughter: Ann, James, George, Speers, John, and Ben, etc.
Sorting this family lines out has been challenged by the burning of the civil records in Belfast in 1922 and by the ways in which the families keep using the same limited numbers of given names, and every son will have a son with his fathers given name! So far one of the few clues as to James' relations from overseas is that a James Andrew Strahan, b. 1858 who was a Professor of English Law at Queens University in Ireland 1886-1898, (and who wrote THE English textbook on property law) wrote the aunt of one of my correspondents Bruce Strahan to say that that he had been born very late in life to his father Samuel? and that his father had had cousins two brothers who had come to the United States just after the Rebellion of 1798: that sounds like our James and his brother John? Joseph?.
Besides this English barrister/professor, the most eminant member of the family was the Rev. William Gordon Strahan, who also descends from the John mentioned above and who was Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Northern Ireland 1931-1933. We know that virtually every Presbyterian Strahan from Ireland came from this one family.
We know that from the Rathkenny Strahan (branch of this one) Andrew Straghn who married a Margaret Straghn of Dumboght, Co. Antrim in New York City in 1851 was married by the Rev. Hugh Henry Blair, James and Ann (Blair) Strahan's nephew! Their descendants ended up in Fond du lac, Wisconsin and Illinois. It also included a Gordon Strahan married to a Mary Craig, who emigrated through Ontario Canada and settled in Monroe Co., Michigan. The Samuel Strahan, who served in the Revolutionary War from Pennsylvania had descendants in Bourbon Co., Kentucky, was almost certainly related, perhaps an uncle of James.
We are sometimes asked if we are related to the William Strahan, who was a M.P., Samuel Johnson's and Boswell's publisher, and friend of Benjamin Franklin at the time of the Revolutionary War. We do not know that we are, though we understand that some sons of the publisher ended up in the north of Ireland. We know that a high percentage of members of our family are in journalism, editing, publishing in all the media, telegraphing, radio, and all forms of communication. We are probably related to the Charles Strahan, publisher of the Richmond Virginia newspaper who erected the statue on Martha's Vineyard dedicated to the Union soldiers to heal the chasm left by the Civil War (and joined by a plaque from the townspeople on the other side of the monument dedicated to the southern soldiers and saying 'The chasm is closed'): he, too, had ties to Pennsylvania.
We do not know how, if at all, we are related to the Strahan colonial wallpaper company in Boston.
At the present time we are aware of descendants of this family in Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada, United States, Australia and New Zealand. They have many fields of endeavor, and high among them are education, law, arts, textiles, ministry, communications and publishing, transporation and defense industries (railroad and then aviation and space travel and research), and the natural sciences. None to my knowledge is today still in farming, though, some are in farm-related employment, and some were until the last generation.
Further origins of Strahans are interesting if speculative. They are said to be a sept of the Tribe of Mar (the septs the Tribe of Mar being Marr, Morren, Strachan, and Tough), a Pict tribe originally: the Tribe of Mar is the oldest Scottish earldom with a count (currently a countess) at its head. It occupies one of the divisions of the ancient kingdon of the Picts stretching from the Braes of Mar in the west to Aberdeen and from the Braes of Angus in the south to the River Don. The original leader was called a mormaer (mayor???) and the area was a geographical and political region long before the first earl, Ruadri, is recorded in 1120.
The original Irish, Pictish people also were killed off by the next wave of invaders, our mixed Saxon ancestors who then moved into what is now Scotland and killed most of the Picts there. In the area the Tribe of Mar occupies many invaders intermarried with the Picts – probably after killing the males and "attaching" the females. The Picts were the "little people," the pharasees of the woods; our ancestors killed the fairies (quoted, found and sent by Barbara King, married to grandson of my grandfather's sister).
Mrs. Torrens has Strachan; stone has Strahan.
Nancy F. Matthews, wife of a John Strachan which? There are major discrepancies between Mrs. Torrens' compilation and Mrs. Wiechens': Mrs. Torrens had his wife as Nancy F. b. 10-2-1815 but dying 3-13-1960 and does not have Eliza Jane and does not have Mary V. but does have 16 year old Nancy as well; Mrs. Wiechens has Mary V. with the same birthdate as Nancy F. 44 y 5 m 8 d (see below) and does have Eliza Jane 2 year old daughter but does not have the 16 year old daughter Nancy. Dr. S.C. Edmistons has it that there was a John Strahan, s/o Blair who married a Nancy F. Matthews, and indeed I have seen that Randolph County marriage record myself, though I do not now recall the date on it. I have also found a listing for a John Stranahn with a William Strahand and a much older John Dickey listed in the 1860 census for Perry Co. This John Stranahan, William Strahand, and John Dickey are all listed as having been born in Ireland, which none James and Ann's children were.
b. Randolph Co. about 1851, oldest child of Blair and Mary Ann B. (McCullough) Strahan, died after 1870 and supposedly lived near Alton, Illinois, according to my grandfather who was his nephew. My grandfather said his uncle James was killed when a railroad engine turned over on him. We have never found him in a census after 1880 in Randolph Co. nor found a grave or a death record. I did find the James Strahan near Alton that died of a spinal chord injury, but he had different parents. The James s/o Blair and Mary may be buried here depending on where and when he died. If anyone has any information on his fate please contact me.
Since the original version of this report, much has come to light to indicate the probability that Mary Ann B. McCullough was the daughter of William McCullough 1789-1849, s/o Samuel McCullough and Elizabeth McCrory, all of whom are buried in Gibson County, Indiana, and Isabella [McCulloch] 1803-1861, probably daughter of the Rev. Robert McCulloch and Margaret Simonton. Isabella is buried in the Hopewell Cemetery near Pinckneyville, Perry County, Illinois and her son Leander M. who died of disease in the Civil War is buried beside her. Also buried in the cemetery is Isabella and William's daughter Agnes (McCullough) Deem Campbell Wadkins Paskill (four husbands) and Isabella's first cousin Jane Brown Campbell with her father John Brown and two brothers (Jane's mother was Elizabeth McCulloch Brown who migrated with her son Leander Brown and other children to Travis County, Texas.
Strongest evidence that William McCullough was Mary Ann B. McCullough's father is that he was, according to his death record in the 1850 Gibson County Mortality Schedule July 1849 born "at sea" whereas Isabella had been born in South Carolina. Jane McCulloch was probably Isabella's sister and therefore a young aunt of Mary Ann and who in 1830 was probably in the household of William and Isabella in Chester County, South Carolina with the other minor children of the Rev. Robert McCulloch and Margaret Simonton, who are buried in the cemetery of the Old Catholic [sic] Presbyterian Church in Chester County, South Carolina, where he had been minister until his death in 1824. Four or five of his children, after the death of the other children, migrated to Gibson County, Indiana and daughter Elizabeth (McCulloch) Brown had migrated to Perry County, Illinois in 1835. The guardian of the minor children of the Rev. Robert McCulloch had been David Boyd, husband of the daughter Mary Ann, until her death before 1827 or 1828 when he remarried to Martha Narcissa Gaston. The minor children seem to have shifted by 1830 to the household of William and Isabella. Jane McCulloch Edmiston Little's oldest daughter Margaret (Edmiston) Kealy named a son David Boyd Kealy, apparently after her mother's guardian uncle.
We still do not know where Mary Ann B. (McCullough) Strahan is buried, but now it is possible that she may be in an unmarked grave in the Hopewell Cemetery near Pinckneyville, Perry County, Illinois, where other members of her family lie.
The second husband of Jane (McCulloch) Edmiston was a Samuel Little, whom I believe was a son of the Samuel Little, who was a Ruling Elder of the Old Bethel Church. If anyone has any information as to what happened to him, please contact me.
If I am correct in this construction of Mary's family, then the Sarah McCullough who married John Linn, Jr, brother of Jane Linn McGuire buried in the Strahan Cemetery, was Mary's first cousin, and the John McDill who lived next door to the Strahans in Tilden was also probably first cousin as Samuel McDill married to Agnes McCullough, prob. sister of William McCullough married to Isabella, is buried with another sister Jane (McCullough) Harbison, wife of Adam Harbison, in the Bell Cemetery in Barton Township, Gibson County, Indiana. This Samuel McDill in the Bell Cemetery I believe to be the uncle of the John McDill who lived next door to the Strahans.
"John was born in Ulster, Ireland, in County Antrim in the Parish of Drumall, on the lands of Ballancragy, which lay on the edge of Laugh Naugh. He came to American as a young man about 1813. Born, Oct. 24, 1791. He landed at Charlestown, South Carolina. He soon married Miss Martha Patterson, and they migrated to Randolph County, Illinois. After a short time his wife died and he married again, August 23, 1823 [sic], to Margaret Cathcart Strachan [Strahan], who was born Oct. 7, 1807, on the Strachan [Strahan] farm home three miles north of Sparta [Randolph Co., Il]. . . . .John Hayr settled on a large farm northeast of Sparta,where [their] . . . children were born" (S.C. Edmiston, The Genealogy of a Branch of the Edmiston Family, p. 47. I believe the place is known as Haire or Hayer Hill).
Together Margaret Cathcart and John had fifteen children, some who died young and one died as unnamed infant: Martha, Isaac Newton, Mary Ann (died young, mar. Robert Dinsmore); John Blair (mar. Melinda Temple); Margaret Jane (mar. James Edgar); Martha Patterson; Martha; Debra? (mar. Frederick Hart); David (mar. Robenia McCloskey); Nancy Ann McGuire (mar. Robert Wylie); Elizabeth; unnamed infant b. 20 Jan 1844; Sarah Ellen or Sarah Ann (mar. James Wallace Edgar); Charles J.; and Charlotte Isabella, and, yes, there are three Marthas.

Detroit's Haven for Asylum Seekers Set To Lose Federal Funding
by Detroit Today | March 2, 2017

Freedom House's Deborah Drennan says the global humanitarian crisis is in "our own backyard here in Detroit."
Jake Neher/WDET
Detroit is home to an organization that houses and assists dozens of asylum-seekers hoping to make their home in the United States.
Freedom House Detroit is home to more than 40 refugees who have been beaten, tortured, raped, or otherwise victimized and driven from their home countries.
Artwork created by a Freedom House resident as part its art therapy program.
But in less than a month, Freedom House could lose its Federal Housing and Urban Development funding. It would be a huge blow to the organization, which would likely have to make drastic cuts to staffing and services.
"We are concerned," says Drennan. "It is a significant part of the budget — a little over 60 percent."
"The services we provide are necessary. I mean, we're a bare bones budget. So when we look a losing funding, what part of our services do we cut?" she continues.
Drennan says she's concerned it will lead to increased homelessness among asylum seekers and will make granting asylum more difficult. "We keep looking at this as really a humanitarian crisis that keeps growing. And, while we see that globally, we really see it our own backyard here in Detroit."
Drennan says the decision to cut Freedom House's budget was made before President Donald Trump took office, and is rooted in housing policies that were adopted under the Obama Administration. Still, she says Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy proposals do not help.

Suede Brooks was born on February 8, 2001 in Nevada. She was born into a very loving and caring family. She is an American YouTube personality and model. She is sixteen years old. She has two siblings, Blaze who is a graphic designer and India who is an avid blogger. Her parents own the 'Diva Studio Salon' in Vegas. They have been in the business for the past twenty three years.
Suede began her career at the age of eight when she did her first ad campaign for the clothing- retail company, H&M. When she was in school, she was bullied a lot and so left school and started online schooling to avoid all the bullying that was directed at her by her mates in school. She was fascinated with fashion from a very young age, and so her parents decided to help her pursue a career in modelling.
In 2013, Suede Brooks created her YouTube channel which was dedicated to fashion and makeup. She would create and then post on her channel makeup tutorials. When she was in middle school, she was constantly bullied by her peers that her parents had to come in and remedy the situation by pursuing legal measures to ensure their daughter's safety. She could no longer take the tension that was building up because of her, and so she quit cheerleading and started online schooling. The shift in her life enabled her to pursue other ventures, and so she started checking out other fashion channels on YouTube before she decided to create her channel.
Suede Brooks realized that she loved fashion so much that she started her channel to showcase what she is capable of doing. She created her channel, and within two months her channel had become a sensation. Her channel focused on fashion and makeup tutorials. She became even more interested in fashion that she wanted to have a career from it. She approached STX which is an entertainment company that specializes in talent management. The company took her up, and since then she has not looked back but continues to make her career every second.
Suede Brooks is a good model with a beautiful body and a beautiful face. Her career in modelling is shaping up quite nicely, and she is not looking back but moving forward. She has a unique sense of style that is associated with only her. Suede's personal life has also been subject to intense and constant speculation.
In 2016, Suede Brooks was spotted with Niall Horan in Los Angeles. Horan's fans were not happy about her alleged girlfriend, and so they took to social media to express their displeasure. Suede was not pleased because this was like another type of bullying and so she took to social media to express her anger with the speculations being made about her personal life. She has however realized that fame comes at a price and she is ready to face all challenges that come her way.
Suede Brooks ' greatest source of strength is the support that she gets from her parents in the pursuit of her career. She has devoted all her time and energy to her modelling career. She is represented by 'No Ties Management.' She is very busy that she has not vlogged for the last two months. She is however dedicated to her fans that she creates time to engage with them. It is almost sure that she will make it become a supermodel in the future.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP '18: Facts about final major of the year
by Perry Erickson	- at August 09, 2018
"I didn't ask for it", Jim Furyk said of his 8:17 a.m. ET first-round tee time at Bellerive with Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele, now 11th and 13th respectively on the Ryder Cup points list. And a lot of stretching.
But' like his compatriots' he is only one good round away from rediscovering the form and game that has made him a top 15 player in the world in the past.
On Monday, the somebodies and nobodies of St. Louis coexisted and bonded over the somebodies and nobodies of the PGA Tour, here at Bellerive Country Club for the practice rounds, the calm before the storm (but hopefully not literally).
Ninth-ranked Rickie Fowler and Webb Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion, hold the last two places but a host of rivals are within reach, the nearest being Bryson DeChambeau and five-time major victor Phil Mickelson.
Thomas weighed less past year, about 145 pounds at the start of it.
"I can't really talk about my Friday nights, but I can talk about Saturdays", Fleetwood joked.
Kerry Haigh of the PGA of America took what some considered a subtle shot at the USGA when he said Tuesday his goal in setting up courses for the PGA Championship is to let the players be the stars.
It's been like that all year. "It's another chance to give myself a chance to win a golf tournament". They're going to look at if you win or lose. Now, Woods must "get the mindset back prior to all the injuries and all the surgeries". So things are going to be different from day to day, and it's just about managing it. I played in a lot of final groups and I haven't played well enough when it's counted.
Woods has never been much for moral victories, though he has said throughout the year he considers himself "blessed" simply to be playing.
Anyone who doesn't believe Mickelson and Woods will be captain's picks should they not vault into the eight automatic qualifier spots by Sunday probably believes John Daly will win another major championship and donate his winnings to Gamblers Anonymous.

Kostis should know. He helped his own son, who had a similar procedure in nearly the exact same place in his lower back, make the same kind of adjustments to his swing. He's building up all that. "I was just happy that he had his moment and he deserved that win really".
Woods and McIlroy have won the same number of majors over the last four years - none.
"I hit some balls (on the range) today and felt absolutely fine and comfortable with my swing and the way it's moving".
"Sometimes golf is just like that and it's just a case of keep doing what you're doing and eventually it will happen".
Woods might be bigger now than when he was winning, perhaps because fans had every right to wonder if they would ever see him again, or see him when he was capable of posting low scores. I feel like the tougher challenges, tougher courses have suited me this year whilst I've been on my game and I've been playing well.
The rain interrupted a lot of schedules.
"You have to make the most of everything, you have to see the positives and just move on and forget about it and that's what I've tried to do this year". Two weeks earlier, he was one shot off the lead until a 71 on a good day for scoring at Carnoustie.
Woods no longer has that luxury.
A win at this year's PGA Championship would be his 80th career win and his first win since 2013, and would tie the PGA Championship records set by Jack Nicklaus and Walter Hagen, who both won the trophy five times.

A Fraction, or Fractional Number, is used to represent a part of a whole. Fractions consist of two numbers: a Numerator (which is above the fraction bar) and a Denominator (which is below the fraction bar). For example etc.
The Denominator tells you the number of equal parts into which something is divided. The Numerator tells you how many of these equal parts are being considered.
1. Fractions like 1/3 are not integers. They are Rational Numbers. Rational numbers consist of all numbers that can be represented in the form a/b where b≠0.
2. The fraction n/n=1 for any integer n≠0.
3. The fraction 0/n=0 for any integer n≠0.
4. Fractions less than '1' are often called Proper Fractions.
5. Fractions equal to or greater than '1' are often called Improper Fractions.
1. What is a Fraction? How is it denoted?
2. What are Denominator and Numerator?

Real Koch Facts
9 Ways the Kochs Ruin Summer
Louisiana North Carolina Wisconsin
Veterans Groups Concerned With Trump Tapping the Koch Network for VA Leadership
Trump and his transition team continue to rely on the Koch Network to staff their administration. Trump is looking to the Kochs' Concerned Veterans for America to shape the Department of Veterans Affairs:
Trump met with VA Secretary contender Pete Hegseth who is a former president and chief executive of CVA
CVA has previously worked closely with retiring Rep. Jeff Miller who is also under consideration for VA Secretary
Senior CVA Advisor and author of a report on turning the VA into a nonprofit corporation Darin Selnick serves on the Trump's transition team
Former CVA Advisor Amber Smith also serves on Trump's transition team
CVA's leadership under Trump would allow them to enact their policy goal of privatizing the VA despite polls indicating that two-thirds of veterans oppose the Kochs' plan. Traditional veterans service organizations are becoming alarmed by growing influence CVA has in the Trump administration and what it might mean for the care of their members. CVA is just another one of the Koch's astro-turf political groups advancing their agenda over the interests of veterans.
Trump Reached Out To The Kochs' Concerned Veterans For America To Overhaul The VA
Trump Has Reached Out To A Once-Obscure Veterans Group, Concerned Veterans For America, Backed By Charles And David Koch To Influence His Policy To Overhaul The VA. According to the Washington Post, "President-elect Trump is leaning on a once-obscure group backed by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch as he seeks to make good on a campaign promise to overhaul veterans' care he has denounced as a tragic failure. Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) was founded as a political advocacy group just four years ago. It has little connective tissue with other veterans groups, whose membership-heavy organizations have long dominated policy discussions in Washington. But CVA is proving to be an influential force in the incoming Trump administration." [Washington Post, 12/1/16]
Leading Candidates To Run Trump's Department of Veterans Affairs Have Close Ties To CVA
Leading Candidates To Run Trump's Department of Veterans Affairs Have Close Ties To CVA. According to the Washington Post, "The leading candidates to run the sprawling Department of Veterans Affairs, the second-largest federal agency, have close ties to the group." [Washington Post, 12/1/16]
Former CVA CEO Pete Hegseth Was Announced As A Contender For VA Secretary, Along WithHouse Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller Who Has Worked Closely With The Group. According to the Washington Post, "The president-elect met this week with Pete Hegseth, a Fox News contributor, Iraq War veteran and a former president and chief executive of CVA who has emerged as a contender for VA secretary. […] Hegseth is not the only candidate for VA secretary with ties to the group. CVA has worked closely with retiring House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), who shares its commitment to faster discipline for employees and a smaller bureaucracy." [Washington Post, 12/1/16]

Former CVA Advisor, Amber Smith And Senior Advisor, Darin Selnick Were Named To Trump's Transition Team.

And as the Trump campaign crafted its blueprint for VA, it drew heavily from the group's vision of a health-care system with a drastically smaller government footprint and a fast route to firing poor performers. […] A member of Trump's transition team who will meet with veterans Thursday is Darin Selnick, a senior adviser to CVA who served at VA in the George W. Bush administration. Amber Smith, a Fox contributor and former adviser, also serves on the team." [Washington Post, 12/1/16]

According to the Washington Post, "While CVA has joined IAVA, the Legion and others in denouncing chronic benefit backlogs, delays to patient care and a lack of accountability for VA employees who break the rules, its mission is political advocacy, not helping veterans with access to benefits and services. […] The group is part of a network of politically active nonprofits backed by the industrialist Koch brothers and other wealthy conservative donors. The Kochs have been a political lightning rod for years, with Democrats charging that they use their wealth and political network to push a small government agenda and influence Republicans."

You may have noticed the syntax highlighter that I use on almost every post (except this one, oddly enough). It's called Crayon Syntax Highlighter and it's badassery at it's finest. I've tried a half dozen syntax highlighters for WordPress, but Crayon remains my number one pick.
Story Time!!! When I setup this blog a few weeks ago and began writing posts, I ran into a problem with my excerpt plugin not working. I tried changing options, googling for answers, swearing at it, etc, but nothing worked. I finally ended trying another excerpt plugin… and another… and another, but none of them worked. At that point I knew that there had to be a conflict between one of my other plugins and the excerpt plugins, so I disabled them all and sure enough, the excerpt plugins began working. I starting enabling my other plugins one-at-a-time until I found the culprit: Crayon.

A 'barn find' 1949 998cc Vincent-HRD White Shadow Series-C project beat the pre-sale estimate by more than £100,000 when it went under the hammer for £163,900 (including premium) at the Bonhams' Spring Stafford Sale on Sunday, April 23.
The top price paid at the Stafford sale was £163,900 for this 1949 998cc Vincent-HRD White Shadow Series-C project – more than £100,000 above the initial estimate.
The term 'White Shadow' applies to the few Black Shadow-spec machines that left the Stevenage factory without the normal black-finished engine casings, and these machines were distinguished by '1A' engine number prefixes (Vincent Rapides were '1' and Black Shadows '1B').
Acquired by the vendor in March 1973, KOD 476 boasts an old-style continuation logbook recording one previous owner, who'd registered it in May 1957, details of the Vincent's prior owners not being known.
The machine was ridden mostly by the vendor's father, who was a lifelong motorcyclist who'd never experienced the joys of riding a Vinnie, but sadly he died in 1975, and by the following year the White Shadow had been put into storage, where it remained for almost 40 years.
At the Bonhams' sale, lots of interest was also shown in the 1948 ex-Freddie Frith Velocette KTT Mk.VIII works special that won the 1949 350cc FIM World Championship.
