Bandits on Thursday morning robbed two Corentyne, Berbice businesses. Moments after one of the robberies, a pregnant woman went into labour and delivered her baby due to the shock of the incident.The Comfort Inn Hotel which was broken intoAt about 00:15h, five armed and masked men broke into Comfort Inn situated at Lot 9 John's Port Mourant. The men entered the building by breaking a window in one of the hotel's vacant rooms.From there, the men made their way to the lower flat where proprietor Bibi Salina Ally and her daughter Fanesha Hassan along with an infant were asleep.According to Ally, she heard footsteps in the upper flat of the building and soon after she noticed a torchlight. Her pregnant daughter who was in the bed with her contacted the Whim Police Station but before she could tell them their location, the phone was taken away from her by one of the bandits.Injured security guard, Alexander Sears"After that they come and say shut your mouth, and say that they want everything; gold and money or else they gon chop off we neck. They get cutlass and they get crowbar; all of them," Ally related.However, Hassan begged the bandits not to kill them. Ally recalled trying to be as nice as possible to the intruders who were demanding valuables."I show them where everything was and they take it and say they want more. They strip us of the gold we had on and then say they want the key for the shop and I go and open the shop and one of them go in and start emptying the shop."It was later found out that before the men entered the building, the 78-year-old security guard, Alexander Sears, was beaten and gagged.According to Sears, he had moved from his post to use the washroom when he was confronted by three masked men; two with cutlasses and one with a crowbar."I had a scuffle with them and then one of them lashed me with the crowbar and another lash me in me face with the cutlass and I fall down and couldn't do anything."The hole the bandits made to enter Gabar's Halall Chicken OutletTwo of the men stayed with the security guard while one joined his other two accomplices as they entered the building.Ally noted that one of the bandits attempted to lash her in the head with a crowbar but she blocked it. In addition, Hassan said she was traumatised as one of the bandits stood over her with a cutlass.She noted that she was unable to recognise any of the intruders. She was later rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital where she delivered her baby.The bandits took away US$180, $50,000 local currency and about $200,000 worth in jewellery.Meanwhile, a few buildings away in the village of Clifton, bandits broke into Gabar's Halall Chicken Outlet. According to Doodnauth Takpersaud, at about 01:15h, he was attacked.The bandits reportedly cut a hole in the fence to the chicken pen to gain entry. Money, livestock and beverages were removed.According to Takpersaud, he was at his home when he heard strange sounds emanating from the chicken pen which is a part of the poultry business. As he looked towards the business, the lights were turned off."I couldn't see anything but I was sure that someone was in there because the way the fouls hollering. So I waited for a while; about 15 minutes and then I put on a bright light I have in front here. With the light on I could see clearly at the shop. Then I go and make a check," he explained.According to the businessman, as he was approaching, he saw a Police patrol vehicle which stopped in front of his business place and enquired what was going on.Together with the Police, they searched the area but did not see anyone. Nevertheless, Takpersaud is aware of who the perpetrators are. He claims they are the same persons who have been monitoring him for the past few days.When contacted, Deputy Commander Superintendent Wayne DeHart said the Police are investigating both incidents. read more

PSG would demand over £60million for wantaway striker Cavani, claims Laurens

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal would have to fork out over £60million for reported target Edinson Cavani, according to talkSPORT's French football expert Julien Laurens.The forward is thought to be unhappy with his role at current club Paris Saint-German, where he is often forced to play out of position and play second fiddle to star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and is keen on a move away from the French champions.Cavani sealed a £55million switch to PSG last summer following his emphatic goalscoring form at Italian side Napoli, and helped Laurent Blanc's side win a second successive Ligue 1 title in his debut season.But despite the team's success, the 27-year-old has gone largely under the radar since his arrival and again he failed to impress during Uruguay's World Cup campaign.Recently emerged rumours have suggested the Premier League is the wantaway striker's preferred destination.And while Laurens reveals the likes of United and Chelsea have already held talks with the agent, he admits any team would have to pay over the odds for the out-of-form frontman."Cavani isn't happy about his situation at PSG," Laurens told Kick Off."He wants to play in his preferred position, but it's pretty clear that at PSG Ibrahimovic will always be first-choice central player."He doesn't want to be stuck on the wing anymore, so his brother – who is also his agent – has been knocking on doors in the Premier League."He has spoken to Chelsea and Manchester United, who they first talked to back in January, but if PSG were to sell him they probably wouldn't sell for less than €70million [around £62million]."If a team would be happy to pay that money then I think Cavani would be ready to talk, but such a high figure may put a lot of teams off." read more

"There is no pressure whatsoever because if you look at how we have been progressing, there has been improvement game by game. We started the season with so many new players and it takes time to get a good understanding between the players," Ambani told Capital Sport.Ambani is confident the side will find its footing as the season progresses and has warned anyone writing them off just yet.They take their hunt for a second win of the season to Machakos on Saturday where they take on Kakamega Homboyz in a 2pm kick off."It will be a very tough game because Homeboyz have been getting good results and are also a good outfit. We are prepared for a tough game and everyone is looking forward to fight for the three points more so because we are playing at home," Ambani noted.Wazito FC striker Joe Waithira kicks the ball during a training session at the GEMS Cambridge School.

Over the last 20 meetings, AFC have won seven of them, Stima have won eight while the remaining five ended in draws.Last season, AFC picked four points off the powermen, winning the first leg in Machakos 2-1 while the return tie in Kisumu ended in a barren draw.Elsewhere, 14th placed Nzoia Sugar play host to Sofapaka at the Sudi Stadium in Bingoma seeking their second win of the season. Their only victory this season was a 2-0 success away to newly promoted Kisumu All Stars.Sofapaka players celebrate Peter Lwassa's early goal for Sofapaka during their Kenyan Premier League match against Bandari at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on October 6, 2019.

We know that it will be a tough game against Nzoia because they have a very structured way of play with good speed on the wings, but our focus is on getting the three points," tactician Divaldo Alves stated.Sofapaka have seven points from five games and the coach has made it clear that his ambition is to ensure the team remains within striking range of the top sides.KPL Saturday fixtures: Tusker FC v Sony Sugar (10am), Wazito v Homeboyz (2pm), AFC Leopards v Western Stima (4pm) – Kenyatta Stadium Machakos, Bandari v Chemelil Sugar – Mbaraki, Kisumu All Stars v Mathare United – Moi Stadium Kisumu, Nzoia Sugar v Sofapaka – Sudi Stadium Bungoma, Ulinzi Stars v KCB – Afraha Stadium Nakuru, Zoo Kericho v Posta Rangers – Kericho Green Stadium.0Shares0000(Visited 17 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Wazito FC head coach Boniface Ambani on the bench during a past Kenyan Premier League match.

Two Donegal men were part of a four-man cross-border drugs gang who were jailed in the North today.All were handed prison sentences today at Craigavon Crown Court after pleading guilty to a number of drugs offences. Ramelton man Desmond "Dessie' Enfield (34), Kieran Austin (61) from Lurgan and Darren Donnelly (33) of Sixmilecross, Omagh, all previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class B controlled drugs, while Seamus Boyce (38) of Letterkenny, previously pleaded guilty to possession of Class B controlled drugs and conspiracy to supply Class B controlled drugs.Today they were given the following sentences:• Desmond Enfield – 24 months imprisonment – 12 months to be served in prison and 12 months on licence, as well as a Forfeiture Order issued for a Audi vehicle;• Seamus Boyce – 16 months imprisonment – 8 months to be served in prison and 8 months on licence, as well as a Forfeiture Order for a Ford vehicle;• Kieran Austin – 16 months imprisonment – 8 months to be served in prison and 8 months on licence;• Darren Donnelly – 12 months imprisonment – 6 months to be served in prison and 6 months on licence.Today's sentencing brings to a close a proactive joint investigation between the PSNI's Organised Crime Unit and An Garda Siochana, into the importation and supply of controlled drugs.Desmond EnfieldDetective Inspector Tom McClure, of PSNI's Organised Crime Unit, said: "On April 22, 2016 officers searched three vehicles in a layby at Derrymacash Road, Lurgan. In one of the vehicles, officers uncovered herbal cannabis with an estimated street value of £300,000 in 15 vacuum packed plastic bags in the back of one of the vehicles."The three male occupants – Desmond Enfield, Seamus Boyce and Kieran Austin – were arrested at the scene as they were caught in the act of supplying £300k of herbal cannabis."Further enquiries by the PSNI's Organised Crime Unit resulted in significant evidence which proved the involvement of HGV driver Darren Donnelly in this drugs ganga. All four have now been sentenced for their role in the supply of controlled drugs by an organised crime gang operating in Derry/Londonderry and County Donegal areas."I would particularly like to acknowledge the assistance provided by our partners in An Garda Siochana who worked closely with us in this cross-border proactive investigation. This organised crime gang were supplying large quantities of controlled drugs into the Derry/Londonderry and Donegal areas which had the potential to cause significant harm."We will continue in our efforts to make Northern Ireland a safer place to live and work by proactively investigating and arresting people involved in serious criminality. The supply of controlled drugs by gangs is the cause of significant harm in our communities. Those who involve themselves in such criminality should expect to end up in a prison cell."There is no place in our society for these individuals who are only interested in making money for their own personal gain at the expense of others. They do not care that their actions could end up killing people. Drugs not only affect the person taking them, their families and the community also suffer."I would ask anyone who has any information about the use or supply of illegal drugs to contact police on the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."Two Donegal men jailed for their part in cross-border drug trafficking was last modified: March 16th, 2018 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) read more

Botswana launches brand strategy

This was the sentiment expressed at the launch of the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre's brand strategy at the Michelangelo Hotel in Johannesburg on Tuesday, 21 May.According to the high commissioner of Botswana to South Africa, Kenny Kapinga, the country is on an upward journey to economic prosperity. "We are well rated in credit worthiness, integrity and ease of business. It is a stable democracy and it has a good environment to do business."He said it was one of the top 12 safest countries in the world and was first on the Global Peace Index in the sub-Saharan region.Botswana's minister of trade and industry, Dorcas Makgato-Malesu, said the new brand strategy came from a need to forge a unified national identity. "When I first became minister I decided it was important to deal with issues of fragmentation in investment and promotion."Her department had great ideas of attracting investment but no way of co-ordinating them. It was important, she added, to have a common definition of what Botswana was. "We felt it was necessary to come up with a national brand."The acting chief executive of the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre, Letsebe Sejoe, said Botswana aimed to make South Africa a major business partner because it was the economic heart of Africa. "The Johannesburg Stock Exchange is in the league of leading exchanges in the world. It is also an exporter of foreign direct investment. So it is very difficult to have an investment strategy without involving South Africa."He offered another reason for Botswana's need to engage with its neighbour: the two countries were connected by the Tswana population they shared. There are more Tswana people in South Africa – approximately eight million – than there are in Botswana, which has about two million inhabitants. Botswana eye-catching for investorsBotswana's lenient trade policies have made the diamond rich country an attractive place for South Africans to do business. Sejoe said there were no foreign exchange controls and a double tax avoidance treaty between the two countries was still in existence. "We are providing South Africa with a resource to connect with any sector they wish."He said the country would fast track residence permits for foreign businesspeople, though he admitted that relaxed migration laws could bring unwanted immigrants. "We would have to keep all the good guys in and keep the bad guys out. The way we can do that is by screening individuals and checking if they have technical experience and skills which can add value to our economy."He hinted at the introduction of a points-based system, which major Commonwealth countries used to screen investors and individuals. They would be allocated a specific number of points depending on their level of experience, skills, education and language proficiency.Sejoe acknowledged that Botswana needed an influx of technically skilled people for its economy to progress. "We are slowly opening up. You cannot have economic growth without importing technical skills." Apart from attracting outside investors, Sejoe said Botswana was looking to develop its foreign export market, particularly with beef products and minerals. Ekurhuleni, potential trade hubChris van Biljon, the chief executive of Ekurhuleni Business Initiative, said Ekurhuleni wanted to engage with Botswana in the sectors of industry and tourism. With the establishment of Africa's first aerotropolis in the municipality, Van Biljon said the city could become an important hub for trade between South Africa and Botswana.An aerotropolis is an urban area in which the layout, infrastructure and economy is built around an airport. In Ekurhuleni's case, OR Tambo International Airport will form the hub of the airport city, which will comprise aviation businesses and related enterprises. Economically strong, politically stableMakgato-Malesu said Botswana's economic strength came from it political stability. The Botswana government has some of the lowest levels of corruption in the world. "We are committed to progress and integrity."She saw the country's resources as a blessing, which the people had managed well enough to turn into an economic advantage. On a recent trip to a first world country, which she refused to name, Makgato-Malesu was questioned as to how Botswana happened to have a better credit rating than that country. "I had to explain that it did not matter where you came from but how well you managed your resources." read more

The Web of Services: Machine-Accessible Services

In the last two posts in this series, we discussed the Web of data, which makes structured interlinked data sets machine-accessible, and the Web of identities, which makes data about people machine-accessible while addressing privacy and data volatility.This time, we'll focus on the Web of services, which makes services accessible to and processable for machines. These Webs all have a semantic architecture in common and follow basic Web principles, such as being decentralized, modular, simple, addressable via URIs, and built for machines.The services sector has become the world's biggest business sector, accounting for 64% of the worldwide gross domestic product. The sector has pressure on it to make its services easier and more widely accessible, as well as to quickly adapt to ever faster changes in the market environment.The effort to standardize such things as service-oriented architectures (SOA) and Web services has taken years, but still we have no clear definition of what constitutes a service at a conceptual level. The interface, which is the format of what goes in and out of the service, is often described formally, but what the service is actually doing, semantically speaking, is not. While there are a number of different approaches to semantically describing Web services, such as OWL-S, WSMO and WDSL-S, none so far has managed to break out of its academic confines.Today, there are already all kinds of services with different levels of complexity, and their number is expected to grow exponentially. The services follow different standards, and a lot of them are proprietary, uni-directional and designed to be used by humans to mash up something new. Editorial catalogs such as ProgrammableWeb and search engines for Web services such as seekda are designed for humans who are searching for a particular service for that reason. For tasks that are unsolvable for machines, there are even Web services such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk, which have humans in the back end answering tricky queries.The problem with all of this is that each of the tens of thousands of services is accessible but not findable by a machine without a machine-understandable description. Thus, every service nowadays has to be wired to a machine by hand. So, what would machines be capable of if services were annotated with semantic descriptions?Service discoveryGiven an index of Web services, a machine charged with finding the right service for a particular problem could choose one among those that have been indexed.Contracting and executionOnce a service has been selected, a machine could look up its terms and decide on contracting and execution details. How often would the service be needed? And what would be the cheapest contract then?Billing or revenue sharingDepending on the autonomy of the machine, one could imagine something like an Autonomous Agent, which automatically makes the best deal with the service provider on such things as billing or revenue sharing for service usage.Replacement on failure, based on experienceOf course, the machine would be able to replace a failing service with an equivalent one. It could also rate a service and publish it.Service orchestrationA machine could, given enough intelligence, split a task into sub-tasks and then discover, contract and orchestrate services to solve these sub-tasks. And after the sub-tasks have been addressed, the main task would be solved. Such orchestration could involve the parallelization of tasks, for speeding up or redundancy purposes, or chaining services (whereby the output of one service is inputted into the next).Research projects such as TripCom, SUPER, SHAPE and SOA4All are dealing with these ideas and scenarios.Future scenarios are limited only by our imagination: machines could autonomously pursue goals on behalf of their master user or company, according to a specified level of freedom. These agents could solve increasingly complex problems and be granted increasingly more autonomy (finally ending up as Skynet).In the next and final post in this series, we will discuss how all of these scenarios could become a reality with the arrival of all three Webs: a revolution in the ability of machines to access, process and apply information.Do you also count the Web of services as a third Web? Where do you see its limits?(Photo by zorro-art.)

Understanding Bigger's Humanity through Naturalism
While reading Native Son, I often felt rather uncomfortable, especially during the scenes where Bigger murders/rapes Mary and Bessie. His treatment towards women is horrific, and his general view of humanity is equally frightening. His sympathy for dictators simply because they have the ability to overpower others shows that he views the human spirit not as a method to empathize with others, but to dominate his fellow man. Bigger's conceptions of humanity are objectively appalling, but in order to understand why he thinks in such a flawed way, we must consider how the genre of naturalism defines humanity and how human interaction functions within this genre. If we delve further into definitions of naturalism, I believe we can more fully understand Bigger and what brought him to such a bleak outlook on human beings.
The genre of naturalism places a great emphasis on the inner beast of humanity, which can clearly be seen in Bigger's inner monologue in Native Son. In the naturalist genre, the inner beast is loosely defined as the personality that comes out of someone when they give in to their base desires, which are typically lust and greed. And Bigger ultimately falls victim to both of these inner cravings in the novel. First, Bigger craves sex when he brings Mary up to her bedroom; he does not care that she is drunk and unable to consent because she exists in his mind merely as an opportunity for him to have sex. He treats Bessie in a similar fashion, using the money he gives her to support her alcoholism as a means to receive sexual favors. Bigger also attempts to feed his inner cravings for greed by manipulating these women as well. After he accidentally kills Mary, he sees her death as an opportunity to extract wealth out of others, and again uses Bessie as a means to achieve his inner desires, as he tries to force her into collecting the money for him. But why does Bigger only see sex, wealth, and ultimately murder as means of lifting himself out of his dreadful existence? Naturalism argues that these base desires can be equated for traditional means of spiritual fulfillment when the circumstances of one's environment imply a predetermined fate, which is exactly what Bigger feels he faces.
Bigger does not attempt to find solace in things like education, honest work, or religion because he does not believe these institutions can bring him to any reality better than the one he currently lives in. He refuses education when Mrs. Dalton offers to send him to night school, to work honestly when he decides to sleep with and kill Mary, and to pray for himself when asked by his mother and the preacher. Bigger's continuous refusal to use traditional means of uplifting one's status and spirit reflects that he does not believe he can improve his own situation. And this is why Bigger uses his naturalistic inner beast as an escape; he does not think his situation can improve, so he uses the methods of fulfillment given to him at birth. Naturalists argue that the desires for sex and wealth are innate, and that they continually arise out of humans when they feel their existence is not malleable. I do not think that this naturalist interpretation of Bigger's character should make readers evoke for sympathy for his character, as he commits several heinous and unforgivable crimes. But I do believe we can better understand how Bigger got to this point of being irredeemable by focusing on these naturalist tropes of human nature. When people grow up feeling there is no escaping their bleak existence, I am sure they are more tempted to give in to base desires for sexual fulfillment and greed than those who grow up feeling they have multiple avenues of opportunity in their lives. Like the rat in the beginning of the novel, Bigger felt he had no avenues of escape. So while his actions are horrifying, they are not unpredictable if we apply traditional readings of naturalist texts to his situation.

Vinyl log sliding is becoming increasingly popular because of the many benefits the product offers compared to regular rustic logs. At the top of the list of advantages are the facts that vinyl log sliding is greatly insulated, undamaged by mold, free of moss, and thermally efficient. Real log homes require continuous maintenance such as staining, sealing, and insect protection. The best overall characteristic of vinyl log siding is the realistic look of real logs. Some say this siding can even fool Mother Nature. There are distinct molded- in knots, imperfections, and color variations that are all similar to natural logs used to construct log homes. Imagine having the capability of the look of a log cabin without the needed maintenance of real logs such as dealing with wood insects, avoiding fading, and handling splinters or rot. Best of all, most companies offer a Lifetime Warranty with vinyl log siding.
Vinyl log siding typically includes an insulated and molded foam backing with a curved surface. The molded foam backing provides additional thermal and sound insulation. There are a great deal of color and grain variations available and vinyl log siding can be applied to both new and pre-existing buildings. There are some forms of this siding that have surface textures that resemble the wood grain. The installation of vinyl log sliding is dependent on the availability for the siding to slide according to weather conditions. The standard length of sliding is 12 feet and a piece can move as much as half an inch on a hot or cold day. Typically contractors use hundreds of elongated nail slots leaving nails out 1/32" to allow for expansion and contraction.
Many companies offer sample panels that should be utilized prior to making a permanent decision and installing. Vinyl log siding should be attached to any surface that is flat and firm. Each panel includes three or four horizontal "logs" and should be affixed with galvanized shingle nails. There are accessories that companies offer to accent the vinyl. There are matching window and door trim, corner moldings, and soffits that can be vented or unvented. The vinyl log siding along with installation of the available accessories provides an overall aesthetic effect that is completely waterproof. The ease of maintaining the log cabin look with vinyl log siding is well worth the consideration of installation.
Vinyl log siding is a product worthy of looking into when looking for a change toward a more rustic look for a home or building. Be conscientious of the many factors that are involved with installation prior to making a decision on who will conduct the project. Given all the benefits and the exterior aesthetics of vinyl log siding, it is an option that homeowners can consider with confidence. Shelling out the initial investment comes back two-fold with the ease of overall maintenance with worry free pest control, and prime insulation. The choice of vinyl log siding will add a great deal of value to a home and open opportunities for the future whether holding the home as an asset or hoping to sell the home for profit.


Jacob David was born between 1745 and 1749 during the exile of Jean Pierre David and Marie Magdelaine Monmellian from Louisbourg after the 1st siege of Fortress of Louisbourg in 1745. Virtually nothing is known of Jacob's date and place of birth at this time.
According to the Fortress of Louisbourg Historical Memoranda Series 1964 to Present H F 25 1989 titled Jean Pierre David dit Saint Michel: Blacksmith authored by Eric Krause of Krause House Info-Research Solutions, Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine were still living at Louisbourg in 1744 along with their surviving children of "5 boys for certain, possibly 6 and 5 girls." These children would probably have included their 5 or 6 sons Jean Jacques, Jean Baptiste, Francois, Louis, Claude Thomas and Jacques Andre and their daughters Marie Josephe, Francoise Charlotte, Jeanne Olive, Marie Magdeleine and Jeanne Angelique. Michel, their oldest surviving son, had married Genevieve Hebert on 20 January 1744 in Grand-Pré, Acadie and was probably living there with his wife in 1744. This memoranda also states "In 1749, David returned to Louisbourg with 9 children and an orphan. Additional sons and daughters were: Joseph, Jacob and Anne Bernard (orphan)". However, it is believed that the Louisbourg 1749 - 1750 Census may have been misinterpreted and that Anne Bernard was not part of this family.
After the 1st siege and capture of the Fortress of Louisbourg on 16 June 1745 by British forces commanded by Sir William Pepperell during the War of the Austrian Succession, it is believed that Jean Pierre, Marie Magdelaine and their children left Louisbourg but it is not known if they were deported to France by the British with most of the other Louisbourg French and Acadian inhabitants or escaped to Acadie or one of the Quebec, Nouvelle France communities along the St. Lawrence River.
Since it is recorded that there were 11 surviving children in 1744 at Louisbourg prior to the families deportation or escape from the Fortress in 1745, it is not known for certain which children accompanied Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine from Louisbourg since only 7 are recorded in the Louisbourg 1749-1750 Census along with the 2 new additions to the family, Joseph and Jacob.
During this period between 1745 and 1749, it is unclear where 4 of Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine's children may have spent these years or if any had parished while in exile. It is highly likely that Michel was living in Grand-Pré, Acadie with his new wife, Genevieve. However, the whereabouts of Marie Josephe, Francois, Jacques Andre and Jeanne Angelique during this period are unknown. The Louisbourg 1749-1750 Census indicates that these 4 children were not living with Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine after they were repatriated to Louisbourg in 1749 from their exile. From later discovered source documents, we do know that Marie Josephe survived until 1758 and Jacques Andre was still living in 1763. As for Francois and Jeanne Angelique, how their life stories unfolded remains a mystery.
No records of the David family's life between 1745 and 1749 has been yet uncovered after the 1st siege of the Fortress at Louisbourg by the British in 1745. The records of their lives pick up once again with the Louisbourg 1749-1750 Census and the marriage of Marie Josephe to Jean Paul Pouilly on 1 June 1751 at Louisbourg.
During their exile from Louisbourg, Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine were not deterred from continuing to grow their family. For when the family returned to the Fortress in 1749, as mentioned above, they did so with 2 new boys, Joseph and Jacob.
After Jean Pierre and Marie Magdelaine returned to Louisbourg in 1749, they did so with 9 children. According to the Louisbourg Census of 1749-1750, it appears that these 9 children living at home included Joseph, Jean Jacques, Jean Baptiste, Louis, Claude Thomas, Jacob, Francoise Charlotte, Jeanne Olive and Marie Magdeleine.
After the Louisbourg 1749 - 1750 Census, as indicated in the the primary source recording above, no other life event recordings has yet been uncovered which tells of the infant, adolescent and/or adult life of Jacob David.
Jacob's documented presence in Louisbourg is not recorded in the secondary source Family Reconstitution File of his father, Jean Pierre David, which is archived at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada. This Family Reconstitution File was abstracted and compiled from original source documents archived at the Archives of Canadian and the Archives Nationale.


Aspiring football player Caleb Seymour dreams about playing for the New England Patriots. He idolizes Tom Brady and will be wearing his #12 jersey on Super Bowl Sunday. Three years ago, when Caleb was 8-years old, he forged a different bond with his hero. Caleb, like Brady, tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) playing football.
Caleb's parents, Lisa and Michael Seymour of Holden, Maine, brought their son to Boston Children's Hospital, where Mininder Kocher, MD, MPH, associate director of the sports medicine division, reconstructed Caleb's torn ligament in November 2011.
But Caleb faced a long road—recovering from an ACL injury is a six-to-nine month process. It meant no football. It was tough to sit on the sidelines, says Caleb.
But Caleb got some special advice about rehabilitating his knee and preventing future ACL tears during a surprise visit from Tom Brady himself.
Now, Caleb hopes to return the favor with some advice for other young athletes.
Caleb knows because that's exactly what he did after his ACL tear.
After his injury, Caleb continued as manager of his football team. He never missed a game. "He had a constant positive attitude for his team and always had a smile," says Lisa.
Last year, Caleb returned to football as his team's starting center and also played defensive end.
"It was hard for me to see him out there and I worried every day that he may re-injure his knee," admits Lisa.
"Caleb will always have to work hard on keeping his knee healthy and has a lifetime of work ahead of him to keep healthy and active. Meeting his heroes of the New England Patriots definitely has motivated and inspired him to do just that," says Lisa.
Caleb is hoping for a little extra inspiration in the form of a Patriots' win and the Lombardi trophy on Sunday. "It's going to be a close game, but the Patriots are definitely going to win," he predicts.

Optimizing timing of surgical correction in patients with severe aortic regurgitation: Role of symptoms
Elizabeth Klodas, Maurice Enriquez-Sarano, A. Jamil Tajik, Charles J. Mullany, Kent R. Bailey, James B. Seward
Objectives. We sought to determine the independent effect of preoperative symptoms on survival after surgical correction of aortic regurgitation (AR). Background. Aortic valve replacement for severe AR is recommended after New York Heart Association functional class III or IV symptoms develop. However, whether severe preoperative symptoms have a negative influence on postoperative survival remains controversial. Methods. Preoperative characteristics and postoperative survival in 161 patients with functional class I or II symptoms(group 1) were compared with those in 128 patients with class HI or IV symptoms (group 2) undergoing surgical repair of severe isolated AR between 1980 and 1989. Results. Compared with group 1, group 2 patients were older (p < 0.0001), were more often female (p = 0.001) and more often had a history of hypertension (p = 0.001), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.029) or myocardial infarction (p = 0.005) and were more likely to require coronary artery bypass graft surgery (p < 0.0001). The operative mortality rate was higher in group 2 (7.8%) than in group 1 (1.2%, p = 0.005), and the 10-year postoperative survival rate was worse (45% ± 5% [group 2] vs. 78% ± 4% [group 1], p < 0.0001). Compared with age- and gender-matched control subjects, long-term postoperative survival was similar to that expected in group 1 (p =0.14) but significantly worse in group 2 (p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, functional class III or IV symptoms were significant independent predictors of operative mortality (adjusted odds ratio 5.5, p = 0.036) and worse long-term postoperative survival (adjusted hazard ratio 1.81, p = 0.0091). Conclusions. In the setting of severe AR, preoperative functional class III or IV symptoms are independent risk factors for excess immediate and long-term postoperative mortality. The presence of class II symptoms should be a strong incentive to consider immediate surgical correction of severe AR.

Notes on Fargo: Shooting in the Snow
"How was Fargo?"
"Ya, real good."
For me, Fargo is a perfect movie. I had some free time, so I put the film on with commentary from cinematographer Roger Deakins. Here are a few points I found interesting (basically my screening notes converted to full sentences):
- Ironically, Fargo was shot during one of the warmest winters on record, and as a result the crew had to work around when and where there would be snow (shooting scenes that required snow first and saving interiors for later).
- The style is very simple, restrained, and minimalist. Deakins describes the camera as "observational": most of the shots are simple one- or two-shots with few overs (i.e. shot reverse-shot) and almost no tracks, cranes, zooms, or perspective shots. There is an abundance of oners (i.e. long takes), but they're never flashy and don't call attention to themselves. If you think about it, this is really the ideal way to shoot such simple people, and the lack of pompous showmanship is actually quite refreshing (especially in contrast to the recent Birdman).
- The aesthetic goal with many of the shots was to have the snow-covered landscape meet the cloud-covered sky, so that the world felt like it was entirely white.
- The Coens also staged a variety of scenes so that there would be highways in the background with cars going back and forth. Deakins doesn't go into depth here, but he says that the goal was to create the feeling that any of these cars could be carrying people like Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare.
- The famous red-jacketed "Victim in Field" is actually the Coen brothers' storyboard artist J. Todd Anderson. He's credited at the end with a neat little "P"-shaped design.
- According to Deakins (and the Coens), they chose Minnesota not only because it's where the Coens grew up, but also because "polite cultures are the most repressed and therefore the most violent."
- Fargo was billed as based on a true story, but despite some pieces being inspired by real events (e.g. the murder by wood chipper), for the most part this was simply untrue.
"I'm not sure I agree with ya 100-percent on yer police work there Lou."
"He's fleeing the interview!"

One of 3 suspects in the robbery and killing of a 24-year-old Ateneo graduate student is still at large, police said Thursday.
Authorities have arrested 2 suspects in the killing of grad student Francis de Leon in Barangay Concepcion, Marikina last week, said city police chief Senior. Supt. Roger Quesada.
"Mayroon po tayong hinahanap pang 1. Mayroon na rin pong information na tinutumbok natin," he told radio DZMM.
De Leon was found lifeless with chest and neck wounds just 5 minutes walking distance from his house on Friday.
One suspect, identified as alias "Diablo", was arrested Wednesday at a checkpoint in Marikina after a witness claimed that he tried to sell De Leon's cellphone.
A 16-year-old who allegedly connived with Diablo was also arrested and turned over to the social welfare department, police said.

Puchar Świata w skokach narciarskich 2016/2017 – 38. edycja Pucharu Świata mężczyzn w skokach narciarskich, która rozpoczęła się 25 listopada 2016 na skoczni Rukatunturi w fińskiej Ruce, a zakończyła 26 marca 2017 na Letalnicy w słoweńskiej Planicy. W terminarzu, który został zatwierdzony w czerwcu 2016 roku podczas kongresu FIS w Cancún, znalazło się 27 konkursów indywidualnych (w tym 5 w lotach narciarskich) oraz 6 konkursów drużynowych (w tym 2 w lotach narciarskich).

Nowością w kalendarzu Pucharu Świata w skokach narciarskich był turniej Raw Air. Pierwsza edycja tego cyklu odbyła się w dniach 10–19 marca 2017 w Oslo, Lillehammer, Trondheim i Vikersund. W dniach 15–16 lutego 2017 po raz pierwszy rozegrano zawody w Korei Południowej – w miejscowości Pjongczang przeprowadzono próbę przedolimpijską.

Podczas sezonu z różnych powodów doszło do zmian w planie Pucharu Świata:
 konkursy w Niżnym Tagile zostały odwołane z powodu braku siatek chroniących przed wiatrem oraz problemów z wypłacaniem premii finansowych za poprzednie zawody Pucharu Świata w tym miejscu; zostały one przeniesione do Lillehammer;
 z powodu silnego wiatru konkurs w Innsbrucku został skrócony do jednej serii;
 z powodu deszczu oraz silnego wiatru odbyła się tylko jedna seria drugiego konkursu lotów w Oberstdorfie;
 z powodu silnego wiatru drugi konkurs indywidualny w Pjongczangu przeniesiono ze skoczni dużej na normalną (HS109);
 z powodu silnego wiatru odwołano konkurs w Lillehammer (w ramach Raw Air); postanowiono, by zamiast niego odbyły się dodatkowe, jednoseryjne zawody w Vikersund 17 marca, jednak również to uniemożliwiły niekorzystne warunki atmosferyczne;
 z powodu zmiennego, zbyt silnego wiatru odbyła się tylko jedna seria drugiego konkursu indywidualnego na Letalnicy w Planicy.

Na terenie Finlandii, w Lahti, w dniach 22 lutego – 5 marca 2017, rozegrano Mistrzostwa Świata w Narciarstwie Klasycznym 2017, niezaliczane do klasyfikacji generalnej Pucharu Świata i Pucharu Narodów.

Zwycięzcy kwalifikacji do zawodów
Przed każdymi zawodami Pucharu Świata rozgrywano kwalifikacje, wyłaniające uczestników konkursu głównego, przy czym:
 na skoczniach dużych awansowało 40 najlepszych skoczków, ponadto udział w konkursie miała zapewniony pierwsza dziesiątka bieżącej klasyfikacji generalnej Pucharu Świata (w przypadku kwalifikacji do pierwszego konkursu brano pod uwagę klasyfikację końcową sezonu 2015/2016),
 na skoczniach mamucich (konkursy lotów) awansowało 30 najlepszych skoczków, ponadto udział w konkursie miała zapewniona pierwsza dziesiątka bieżącej klasyfikacji generalnej Pucharu Świata w lotach (w przypadku kwalifikacji do pierwszego konkursu brano pod uwagę aktualną klasyfikację Pucharu Świata).

Ewentualne skoki zawodników z pierwszej dziesiątki w serii kwalifikacyjnej nie były oceniane przez sędziów. W przypadku braku startu zawodnika sklasyfikowanego w pierwszej dziesiątce, automatyczną kwalifikację uzyskiwał kolejny zawodnik spoza niej.

W przypadku kwalifikacji do konkursów Turnieju Czterech Skoczni rezultaty skoczków z prawem automatycznego awansu do zawodów głównych również wliczano do wyników serii kwalifikacyjnej, ponieważ na jej podstawie ustalano pary zawodników w ramach systemu KO. Podobnie było z prologami w ramach Raw Air, gdzie rezultaty wszystkich uczestników wliczano do klasyfikacji generalnej imprezy. Przypadki te wyróżniono w tabeli barwą błękitną.

Nie przeprowadzano ponadto kwalifikacji do ostatniego konkursu indywidualnego w sezonie (tzw. finału Pucharu Świata), w którym prawo startu miało wyłącznie najlepszych 30 zawodników klasyfikacji generalnej PŚ. Gdyby kraj organizujący tę rywalizację (Słowenia) miał mniej niż 4 skoczków w tej grupie, mógłby wystawić dodatkowo tylu zawodników, aby wypełnić ten limit.

Liderzy klasyfikacji generalnej Pucharu Świata
Pozycja lidera Pucharu Świata należała do zawodnika, który w dotychczas rozegranych zawodach zgromadził najwięcej punktów do klasyfikacji generalnej cyklu. W przypadku równej liczby punktów, liderem Pucharu Świata był ten zawodnik, który miał na swoim koncie więcej wygranych konkursów. W konkursie indywidualnym inaugurującym nowy sezon żółty plastron, przeznaczony dla lidera, nosił Peter Prevc – zwycięzca poprzedniej edycji PŚ.

Liderzy klasyfikacji generalnej Pucharu Narodów
Pozycja lidera Pucharu Narodów należy do kraju, który w dotychczas rozegranych zawodach zgromadził najwięcej punktów do klasyfikacji generalnej cyklu.

Kwoty startowe
Na podstawie Światowej Listy Rankingowej (WRL) wyznaczano kwoty startowe dla poszczególnych krajów na dane periody Pucharu Świata 2016/2017. Kwota oznaczała maksymalną liczbę reprezentantów, którą dany kraj miał prawo wystawić w zawodach.

Poniższy wykaz przedstawia kwoty startowe przysługujące danym krajom w poszczególnych periodach. Państwa, których nie podano w poniższej tabeli, mogły wystawić do każdego konkursu co najwyżej 2 skoczków.

W przypadku, gdy w programie zawodów w danej miejscowości ujęte były także zawody drużynowe, każdy kraj mający kwotę niższą niż 4 skoczków, wyjątkowo mógł wystawić do konkursu indywidualnego 4 zawodników posiadających prawo startu w PŚ. Dotyczyło to również w całości turnieju Raw Air.

Grupa krajowa
Państwo będące gospodarzem zawodów mogło dwa razy w sezonie wystawić dodatkowo (w kwalifikacjach) grupę krajową, składającą się maksymalnie z 6 skoczków. W tabeli poniżej podano liczbę jej członków (o ile wykorzystano ten przywilej).

Informacje o periodach
 I period: Letnie Grand Prix
 II period: Letnie Grand Prix
 III period: 25 listopada – 18 grudnia (7 konkursów indywidualnych i 1 drużynowy)
 IV period: 30 grudnia – 6 stycznia (4 konkursy indywidualne)
 V period: 14 stycznia – 29 stycznia (4 konkursy indywidualne i 2 drużynowe)

Drinking and Drunkenness in "Wedding in White"
How great a part do drinking and drunkenness play in Wedding in White? Are they, in fact, the real villains? The question is a fascinating one, as it invokes further questions of agency, responsibility, and morality that constitute both the substance and the subtext of the play.
Drinking should therefore be looked at as a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. Drinking is, for the men, a temporary escape from the realization that they are nobodies, both in the larger scheme of things and even in the bosom of their own families, which, despite their patriarchal gestures, they are helpless to control. When Billy states that he doesn't care whether he drinks in a beer parlour or at home ("Beer's – beer," 10) he is hinting at the function of beer as an anesthetic, not as one of the props of gaiety or communion with friends.
For these reasons, then, drinking and drunkenness should not be construed as the villains of Wedding in White.

HSM, the global manufacturer of components and provider of integrated solutions to the transportation, furniture, bedding and a growing number of diversified markets, will introduce its Transitional™ Sleep Systemadjustable bed foundations at the ISPA Expo, March 26-29 at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, La. Two models in the system – the TS100 and TS200 – will be on display in the HSM booth #1007.
Both the TS100 and TS200 adjustable bed foundations are made in America, manufactured in HSM factories using HSM made-in-America components. For HSM customers, this means the ability to carry just-in-time inventory.
"In addition to financial advantages, smaller, more manageable inventories make it easier for our customers to customize the foundations," said Todd Councilman, vice president, HSM Bedding Solutions. "They are free to change out the look of the product with fabric choices, multiple leg styles and finishes, as they differentiate themselves in the marketplace and adapt to changing trends, consumer preferences and demographics."
HSM will limit sales of the Transitional Sleep System to original equipment manufacturers. "The TS100 and TS200 are designed to support OEMs, providing them with adjustable beds to marry with their current product offering," Councilman explained. "Our goal is to support our OEM customers and not sell direct to retail. To that end, we are offering owner's manuals that can be customized with the OEM's specific brand information."
A product of the HSM Corporate Innovation and Technology Center and the company's new, disciplined approach to innovation and product development, the Transitional Sleep System adjustable bases offer a variety of features and benefits, including head/foot articulation, remote control and pre-set positions for optimal comfort and support for watching television, working on laptops and lounging. A Zero-G position elevates legs slightly above the heart to help relieve lower back pressure.
In addition to the features available in the TS100 base model, the more robust TS200 offers wireless remote control, a dual massage option, undercarriage LED lights and a wall/headboard flush design that keeps bed occupants in close proximity to nightstands, even when the head of the bed is raised.
"These are lifestyle products meant to accommodate changes to the way the bedroom is used," noted Rick Anthony, director of sales, HSM Bedding Solutions. "People are spending more time in bed, not just sleeping, but relaxing, watching television and using their electronic devices. So, adjustable beds are no longer viewed as a medical solution or a convenience for the aging. They represent a comfort solution that allows anyone to adjust their bed to their lifestyle."

Deadpool is a movie that has delivered one surprise after another. After blasting its way through the box office and becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all-time, the film has become something of a dark horse on the awards circuit. It began when Deadpool and star Ryan Reynolds picked up key nominations at the Golden Globes and the accolades haven't stopped since. In the past few weeks, Deadpool has been recognized by the Writers Guild (Best Adapted Screenplay) and the Producers Guild (Best Picture), becoming the most critically-acclaimed comic book adaptation since The Dark Knight. After all Reynolds and the team went through to get Deadpool made, this is sweet vindication.
The movie's emergence as an awards contender has some hoping that Deadpool can go all the way and earn a Best Picture nomination at this year's Academy Awards. Though the chances of that happening are low, there's no denying that the film has found a great deal of support within the industry, and it could very well break through in a few categories. Should Academy members need any inspiration to cast a vote for the Merc With a Mouth, Reynolds has something very special planned in the event Deadpool is in the running for the top prize.
If it does end up in that category [Best Picture], I think that's kind of a cool moment, for not just us, but for everybody — for the people that went to see the movie, the people that made the movie, the studio, even the Academy. I don't think that any superhero film has ever really broken that glass ceiling, so it would be nice to see one like Deadpool do it. And I can certainly promise one f---ing crazy reaction video online. In the Deadpool suit. Guaranteed.
In the previous 88 years of the Oscars, no superhero film has been nominated for Best Picture. Even the best ones have struggled to find any love outside of the usual technical categories that tentpoles typically dominate. One of the few exceptions was the aforementioned Dark Knight, which earned Heath Ledger a slew of posthumous Best Supporting Actor awards - but still came up short in Best Picture. The Oscars can now nominate as many as 10 films in the category, but as Reynolds says, that glass ceiling remains intact waiting for the one that can smash through. People have been underestimating Deadpool since it was first announced, so it would only be fitting if it broke new ground for the industry.
Reynolds stopped short of saying what his reaction video would entail, obviously saving it as a surprise for everyone. Hopefully he gets a chance to share it with the world, and if Deadpool manages any nominations, fans should expect Wade Wilson to weigh in on the turn of events (even if it goes home empty-handed in Best Picture). Fox has done their part campaigning, placing Deadpool at the top of their For Your Consideration page online. The onus is now on the Academy members, who could very well surprise. After all, who thought Mad Max: Fury Road was going to be their cup of tea last year?


The Release Preview ring on the Insiders programme has assumed greater significance than ever before with Microsoft's decision not to update many still active Windows Phones to the Creators Update (branch 1703) of Windows 10. This includes the Lumia 930 and 1520, though also many other phones (735, 830, etc.), including those hacked up to the Creators Update branch in the first place. So today's new build of the OS - 15063.447 - for the Release Preview ring is well worth grabbing for all these phones. The same build (or a minor tweak on it) will come to all production users in time (second Tuesday of July), of course.
Today's update is available to any phone already on the Creators Update and on the Release Preview ring (see the Reading list below for more!) For the Windows Insider Programme, see inside 'Settings/Update & security'.
