This is just slightly the oldest, and in the number of living descendants very much the largest, of the Brooksby families in England. It is also the branch which has stayed nearest to its roots, in Leicestershire and Nottingham, although some members have gone further afield in the last half century.
The earliest traceable member of this family actually lived and died in Loughborough, but his descendants spent two hundred years in Mountsorrel, hence the distinguishing name.
Loughborough is the second largest town in Leicestershire, and Mountsorrel a rather large, ugly village about five miles away, between Loughborough and Leicester. Both of these are on the very important road we call the A6, both of them had markets dating from mediaeval times. Loughborough had the wool trade, Mountsorrel its granite quarries, so both were prosperous, likely to attract people either out of the surrounding countryside, or out of nearby Leicester.
The first mention of the Brooksby family is in the year 1564, when Thomas Bruxby (d. 1594) of Loughborough had his eldest child baptised in the parish church. Probably he was a mercer, a tradesman in wool, woollen goods, hosiery, haberdashery and the like. His eldest son and eldest grandson were mercers, so it was probably his trade too. It seems as though this Thomas (d. 1594) was an incomer to Loughborough. The town has a particularly good set of parish records, dating from 1536, but this baptism is the. first BROOKSBY entry.
The interesting thing about this Thomas is that he is called Bruxby Turley at his death. Two of his children are christened as Bruxbie alias Turlie, and one as Turlie alias Bruxbie. Yet another is christened as "Bruxbie alias Turley, sone of Thomas Turley". When his first wife dies, Thomas is called Bruxby alias Turley, and when he marries again the year afterwards he is called Bruxbie In other words the two names were interchangeable, and continued to be so for three generations. The last entry under the name is in 1656.
There is, as far as I know, only one possible reason for this long co-existence of surnames. The first Thomas (d. 1594) was, it may be presumed, the illegitimate son of a father called Bruxby and a mother called Turlie or Turley, sufficiently recognized by the father to make Bruxby acceptable, and from a sufficiently important family to make them anxious to keep the name. Bruxby is more likely for the father and Turley for the mother because at the time Bruxby was an important Leicestershire name and Turley a relatively unknown one; the lesser name was probably the legal name, therefore, and the greater name, though illegal, was the more desirable.
There is an obvious candidate for the father of this family. It may have been Thomas, that second son of the main Brooksby line who was Recorder of Leicester 1526-1536. The dates fit and we know he was a mercer. Another Thomas Brooksby or Bruxby was entered as freeman of Leicester in 1555, and this may have been our Thomas Bruxby Turley (d. 1594). His first child was baptised 1564, so he should have been born somewhere between 1534 and 1540. If at the earlier date, 1555 is about right for the end of his seven year's apprenticeship and entry as freeman.
There are objectives to this conjecture, however A list of burials in London parishes shows quite a group of Brooksbys between the years of 1563 and 1576 (see page 11). Two of these are named as Jeffrey, an unusual Brooksby name, and Thomas Bruxby Turley calls his eldest son Geffraye (1564- 1612), so it seems clear that there must be a connection. What that connection may be must be left to some other researcher to try and unravel.
So far as the known facts go, these are in the Loughborough, Mountsorrel, and neighbouring church registers, and in one or two extant wills.
Thomas Bruxby Turley (d. 1594) was married twice, first to Margaret (d. 1577) and then to Margaret Bramiche (f.1594). He had four children by his first wife and three by his second.
For the purposes of this study the first family may be disregarded: it seems to have flourished in the mercery and other trades in Loughborough, Shepshed and Nottingham for more than a hundred years. At the 1664 Hearth Tax there was a Joseph Bruxby living in Shepshed and taxed on two chimneys. This was presumably the prosperous grocer who issued his own trade tokens, one of which is to be seen in the Newarke Houses Museum in Leicester, dated 1667, and stamped with a sheep's head in reference to its place of origin. The last holder of the name in that area appears to have been a Thomas Brooksby who died in Shepshed in 1710. His sister, Deborah Haddon, administered his estate, which is fairly clear indication that he left no descendants.
But it will be found later that there some doubts about the line of this family in the eighteenth century, when it seems to go through an illegitimacy in Mountsorrel to reappear in Loughborough and Nottingham (see below). It would probably repay a future researcher to go very much more carefully into the Loughborough and Shepshed family: a number of sons were born and have not, as yet, been traced further. There was a Geffraye (c.1587), Francis (c.1590), Lawrence (c. 1596), Thomas (c.1603), Geffraye (c.1613), Thomas (c.1618).
In the second family of Thomas Bruxby Turley (d. 1594), the youngest child and only son of the second wife, Robert (1587-1650), founded the Mountsorrel family.
He was a baker, and in 1646 he was paying threepence halfpenny rent for his house and orchard. In the Leicester Archdeaconry Book he and his wife are listed among others (no date given) as being in trouble for "not receiving communion at Easter, for absenting themselves and not paying the clarke's wages". They were fined sixpence. This must mean that they were either Catholics or Dissenters rather than, like the defaulters in another list, "haunters of alehouses".
The first Francis (1634-1691) married a Frances (surname unknown) and their son Francis (1673-1752) was also a baker. Although they did not count as householders for the purpose of the Hearth Tax (1664), when Francis died in 1691 he had property to leave. He left Francis (1673-1752) the "bakehouse" and the "west parlour", so the dwelling was large enough to split into two, the rest of it going to the widow and her younger children.
The family prospered. By 1741 this Francis (1673-1752) called "the elder", and his son Francis (1702-1794) called "the younger", were both freeholders and eligible to vote in parliamentary elections.
Francis (1675-1752) is the last common ancestor of this family. It now splits into two. Francis (1702-1794) is the ancestor of two modern Bruxby families and of nearly all the modern Leicester Brooksbys. Thomas (1705- 1771) his younger brother, is the ancestor (probably) of the Nottingham Brooksby families.
They will be dealt with separately but for those who find the variations confusing, this may be the place for a note on "Bruxby" and "Brooksby".
The earlier spellings, as has been said before, were many and various. The place became Brooksby quite early on -- probably it is easy to think of the word "brook" in connection with a place. The main county family settled for "Brokesby", but that has quite died out in modern times.
The common country spelling was typically "Bruxby". The Mountsorrel family stuck firmly to that spelling, and those who could write always signed themselves so. But in the nineteenth century, when one branch of the family became poor and illiterate, the name was often entered in the register as Brooksby by educated parsons who in their minds connected the name and the place. It is worth noting that this could only have happened because the owners of the name pronounced it "Brooksby" however they spelt it. Those who still spell it "Bruxby" now pronounce it "Brucksby" which is obviously a fairly recent change.
Francis (1702-1794) was a baker, a yeoman (that is, he was a small proprietor) and a freeholder like his father before him. By the end of his very long life he was even referred to as "gentleman" though this was a slight exaggeration. Very old age brings increasing respectability.
The Mountsorrel he lived in may have been what someone once called "an unkempt little town", but it was on a very important road. During Francis lifetime it was the road by which Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his army of raggle-taggle Scotsman marched south for London, although they lost heart at Derby, a day's march north of Mountsorrel, and turned for home. It was a road that saw much traffic, and therefore Mountsorrel developed in ribbon form, with numerous inns and stables for changing horses. A tradesman in such a place, though it may look like a village to us, was an important person, well-to-do, and well in touch with the larger world.
This Francis is mentioned in Nichols' History of Leicestershire . "There is not yet any monument", wrote Nichols (or his correspondent), describing the chapel at Mountsorrel, "for Francis Bruxby, gent, who died July 1, 1794, aged 93". So, evidently, at the time a monumental inscription was planned. Whether it was erected or not we do not know. The chapel has been very thoroughly altered at least twice since then, and many monuments may have been lost along the way.
Francis (1702-1794) was married twice but had children only by his first wife, Margaret Sharp, whom he married at St. Margaret's Leicester, in 1732. There was a single surviving son of this marriage, another Francis (1735-1814) who, at least according to his father's will, was thoroughly unsatisfactory. He too married twice, in 1756 Sarah Waldram of Barrow, and in 1769 Ann Marson of Walton-on-the-Wolds. The evidence points to a man spoilt by drink and idleness.
From the first marriage, to Sarah Waldram, came a single son, also Francis (1759-1848), who was given a good education, went to Cambridge, became a parson, and officiated at various churches in the area, mainly as curate at Syston, where there is a Bruxby Street named after him. He died unmarried, and in every way carried on the traditions of his grandfather Francis Bruxby "gent", who almost certainly provided the money and encouragement for his education, and made him the chief legatee and executor of his will.
The old gentleman had some hard things to say about his son, the intermediate Francis. "If my son Francis Bruxby shall become a Sober and an Industrious Man and his future conduct in Life deserving to be encouraged, and taken Notice of, then..." he would get an allowance from his father's estate. As the will was signed in 1779, and not altered in the fifteen years which followed before the old man's death, it is reasonable to presume that Francis (1735-1814) continued to drift downwards, a presumption born out by the fact that his son from his second marriage, Thomas (1774-1853) had none of the educational chances of his half-brother, but remained an illiterate farm labourer all his life.
Thomas (1774-1853) married Dorothy Marson in 1796, and had ten children. It is necessary to take an interest in three of them who have descendants alive today. They were William (1797-1860), Thomas (1800-1887), and Elizabeth (b. 1804) Owing to the confusions over spelling which have been mentioned before, they will be distinguished as the William Bruxby, the Thomas Brooksby, and the Elizabeth Bruxby families.
William (1797-1860) was christened in Thrussington, whereas his nine brothers and sisters were christened in Swithland. This was either because his young parents were more mobile in their first year or two of marriage, and then settled permanently at Swithland, or perhaps because Dorothy went home to her mother to have her first child, which was very frequently done. Until there were other children in the house, the husband could be farmed out to neighbours, and the young wife went home to the experienced support of her own mother, often giving birth in the same bed in which she had been born.
It may be that young William (1797-1861) was given some help by his half-uncle the parson. At a later date he turns up in Syston, working as a miller, a job that probably meant an apprenticeship. He married Elizabeth (? Hayes 1804-1877), and prospered well, becoming the landlord of the Railway Inn at Syston which was built when the new Midland County Railway came through in the late 1640's. The inn, now called the "Midland Railway", still stands by the railway bridge, although there is now no railway station for it to serve.
There is more research to be done on William's family. His elder son William (1835-1869) died young, but children are mentioned in his mother's will. At present no trace of these children has come to light, it is possible that the young widow remarried and the children took their step-father's name. (This may be quite a frequent explanation of why families seem to disappear, especially in early times when life expectancy was low and multiple marriages very many).
The younger son John Hayes (1840-1887) is named in his mother's will as "brewer's clerk of Burton". He may have worked for the firm of Truman and Hanbury, in which both his son and grandson reached the position of chief cashier, according to their descendants. Like his brother William (1855-1869) he died young. His wife, Annie (? Pares 1839-1886) had died the year before and they left no fewer than ten children, the eldest having reached the age of twenty-one. Three of the sons, William Pares (b. 1866), James Harry (b. 1869), and William (b. 1670) are not at present traceable. They clearly had to make their own way in life and may have emigrated or joined the forces. If they flourished abroad somewhere, their descendants may yet turn up.
Only John Stableford (1867-1921) has descendants in this country as far as can be ascertained, but the explosive effect on a family of such a catastrophe as both parents dying within twelve months should not be underestimated.
What happened to the children? Who took them in? How were they split up? A family researcher with an interest in this particular branch could be sure of making some interesting discoveries by tracking back to 1887.
John Stableford's descendants are only aware of one sister, which indicates that indeed the ten young people lost contact with each other. He was chief cashier for Truman and Hanbury's, did well for himself, and lived at a house called The Elleray, Barton-under-Needwood. His first wife Alice (b.1915) gave him six children, of whom four were sons.

Thomas (1800-1887) was born in Swithland, lived there at least until his first three children had been baptised, and moved to Burton-on-the-Wolds, where four other children were baptised. He married twice, first Mary Bree (d. 1842) and then, the year after her death, Elizabeth Tacey, a widow. A man with a young family, in this case six living children between eighteen and six, the eldest girl only fifteen, was well advised to marry again as fast as he could. The business of running a family on a labourer's wage was one which needed a great deal of hard work and considerable expertise.
The eldest son Thomas (1824-1857) is the only one whose descendants are alive today. He is described at one time as a labourer, at another as a railwayman, and was no doubt one of many whose fortunes improved with the coming of the railways. Wages were good, and there were opportunities for advancement, but people had to be prepared to move around. Thomas's youngest child was christened at Sutton Bonington in 1855.
He married in 1847 Martha Tacey and died in 1857. She then married a man named John Tuckwood, and went with him and her two young Brooksby children to Leicester, where it seems that the boy Thomas Brooksby (1851-1909) got more opportunity of schooling than would have been the case in a country village. In the 1871 census he is described as a clerk.
This upheaval in his life, caused by his father's early death and the subsequent move to Leicester, caused a curtain to drop over Thomas's antecedents. Perhaps he was happy to forget them. All the present Leicester Brooksbys have a clear memory of Thomas (1851-1909) as their ancestor, and they have quite lost sight of earlier generations. Several of Thomas's grandchildren, and very many of his great-grandchildren, are still living.
In 1870 he married Sarah Ann Farmer of Thornton (1858-1931) and had four children, two sons, and two daughters. Both the sons founded very large families. Harry (1870-1961) was a groom in his youth, but he spent most of his working life in the shoe trade in Sileby. Frank (1872-1961) worked for the Dunlop Rubber Company in Leicester.
The increasing mobility of the years since the Second World War has scattered members of this family, but on the whole the family of Harry has remained round Loughborough and further North, while the family of Frank has stayed in and around Leicester, especially on the south side, Wigeton and Blaby.
Even twentieth-century mobility does not scatter families as finally as might sometimes appear. Many whose work takes them far afield, tend to drift back towards their relations and their roots and their childhood homes, and it seems reasonable to forecast that Brooksby will remain a Leicester name well into the future.
George (b. 1900) m. 1931 - Darby, and had issue.
Elizabeth was the sister of William Bruxby and Thomas Brooksby, whose families have been traced on previous pages. In 1857 she married a man called Thomas Lines, but before that date she had certainly one, and probably two, illegitimate children, William (1828-1902) and Charles (1835-1907).
William has surviving descendants. No doubt they will wish to research further to find out for sure whether he was illegitimate and if so whether Elizabeth was his mother. The evidence is that he gave "Swithland" as his birthplace in the census form and there seems to be no legitimate family to whom he could belong. The other children of the family were all christened in Swithland parish church, but he was not. At the time there were three unmarried sisters any of whom might have had an illegitimate child, but it seems reasonable to assign William to the one, Elizabeth, who quite certainly had another one later. (Charles, b. 1835, was definitely an illegitimate child of Elizabeth.) When they were men, William and Charles lived in the same village, worked in the same quarry at Mountsorrel. This does not prove they were brothers, but the assumptions are that this was so. William's marriage certificate would probably settle the point.
William (1820-1902) married in 1650 Jane (name unknown) and they had five children. He left a Bible, now in the possession of his great-grandson, which gives the dates of birth and indicates that they were members of the Primitive Methodist congregation in Barrow-on-Soar. There were three sons: Tom (b. 1653) who has no surviving descendants, Eli (b.1855) who is believed by family tradition to have emigrated to Australia, and Charles (b. 1660). He married first Harriet Bailey in 1680; she died the next year in childbirth. He married secondly Margaret Haddon in 1883, and had one son, Walter Charles, who left Leicestershire for Northamptonshire, where his family continues.
We return now to Mountsorrel at the beginning of the 18th century. For three generations there had been only one surviving son in each generation, so the bakery continued to provide a good family living, but Francis (1702-1794), the common ancestor of all the families so far dealt with in this chapter, had a younger brother Thomas (1705-1771) who took to the hosiery business. They were prosperous in this too, owning cottages and knitting frames which were let out to knitters. This was how the hosiery trade was conducted, as a cottage industry organised by middlemen.
Thomas (1705-1771) had sons and grandsons, but the legitimate line died out in 1823, and continuation is through the illegitimate line. Or, at least, that is the presumption, which is by no means water-tight and needs more research.
Thomas had a daughter Elizabeth (c. 1730), and this Elizabeth had an illegitimate son William (1758-1840). So much is fact: William was both christened and buried in Mountsorrel. It is a reasonable assumption, but only an assumption, that this was the same William who married Elizabeth Gamble in Loughborough in 1783, and there had three children, Mary (c. 1783), Sally (c. 1785), and Richard (c. 1787), all of whom, and a possible brother John, got married in Nottingham.
The dates for this assumed history correlate reasonably well, and the trade of both William references is the same -- framework knitter or stockinger. The distance between Mountsorrel and Loughborough is short and easily travelled.
The only seed of doubt is sown by the fact that in this model William has to move from Mountsorrel, to Loughborough, to Nottingham, and back to die in Mountsorrel, leaving his family in Nottingham. It is not impossible: it simply removes William's history from the class of "near certainties" to that of "doubtful cases".
There are two families of Nottingham Brooksbys, both represented by living members. The first, which we may call Nottingham Richard (1787-1855) is very well documented. The second is Nottingham John (m. 1806). It has been presumed that the second is related to the first, but this really needs more research.
Richard had a son William (1809-1881) who is well remembered by his descendants. He was a limeburner and stonemason by trade (at one time employing six men) in the village of Bulwell, north of Nottingham, now part of the city. His nickname was "Quicksilver" because of his speed at work, and especially, so his great-grandson reports, because of his habit of running along the ridges of the roofs he was working on, instead of using the ladder in the more normal way. He was also, it was said, a very fine swimmer, not a usual skill in those days, and used to dive off the old Trent Bridge every Sunday.
He was married in 1838 to Maria Bradley (1812-1861) and at the time of his marriage he was stated to be the son of Richard, a point-net maker. This establishes him beyond reasonable doubt as the son of Richard (1787-1855), and as William was obviously a prosperous man it is sad to find that his father died in the workhouse.
Nothing else about Richard (1787-1855) has come to light. If William was born in Bulwell, as he stated on the census return, he was certainly not baptised in the parish church there. But it is very possible that the absence of information about this family is due to the fact that they were Methodists.
William (1809-1881) had seven children, the first four of whom died young. Climb the steep Bulwell churchyard to the top of the northerly slope, and you will find a slate gravestone against the wall; in summer it is quite hard to find among the cow parsley. It records the death of four children, the mother, and finally William himself. No doubt the final inscription was carved by his surviving son Henry (1848-1916), himself a stonemason of Bulwell.
Henry (1848-1916) married in 1873 Maria (name unknown). This marriage, according to their grandson, was in the Wesleyan church, as were the marriages of the next two generations. This Methodist connection suggests, as has been said before, a reason for a shortage of information about the earlier generation. Further research on this family is needed.
Henry (1848-1916) had no fewer than sixteen children, of whom only one, the eldest son William (1875-1952) had children to carry on the Brooksby name. No fewer than nine of the sixteen died before the age of five. Of the other seven, four were daughters, and two sons, Frederick (1888-1944) and Edwin (1899-1945) seem to have died unmarried.
There is nothing to prove or disprove the relationship between this family and that of Nottingham Richard above. The whole of Nottingham needs more research.
John Brooksby was married in Nottingham in 1806. A John Brooksby was named on his son's marriage certificate in 1647 as being already deceased. He was a cordwainer, and so was his son Thomas (1826-1663) who married Ann Pearson in 1847. The family seems to have moved from house to house within the rapidly growing suburb of Sneinton. They were obviously poor people, rather different from the family of William ("Quicksilver") of Bulwell, but not so different from William's father, who died in the workhouse.
Thomas (1826-1863) had a son Thomas (1848-1898). This Thomas married twice, or at least had two establishments. The second may have been a common law marriage, since at present there is no indication of a registered marriage. In 1867 he married a woman who is variously referred to as Sarah Ann and Charlotte. Her surname was certainly Hayes, not to be confused with the Bruxby family of Burton-on-Trent who also had Hayes as a family name brought in by a wife.

What is a Foster Lead?
A foster lead is the person who will be your "mentor" through the foster process, the person you go to when you have an immediate question/concern, or if you need supplies. They are the one who will usually do your home inspection and sets up your foster arrivals and departures.
As you can imagine they are very busy with multiple foster volunteers and usually foster animals themselves. Please keep this in mind when contacting them, please do not wait till the night before surgery, or after you have run out of something to make them aware. Texting is a preferred method as it gives us a "cheat sheet" to reference with everything that is going on.
These are a few of the people who play a critial part in our rescue efforts. There are MANY people who make our day to day operations possible. It takes a village to care for one animal. We can't thank all of you enough!
Ottis has been with CCHS since before there was such a thing. Irene and Ottis founded our organization. He is our lead mule and head dog wrangler. He retired from being our thrift store general manager in February 2016, but he is still very active in the animal side of our efforts. Ottis and his wife, Irene, are a crucial part of our family!
Ann has been with the Humane Society since 2011. She is the Animal Operations Manager and the Graphics & Social Media Lead, Paperwork Drill Sergeant as well as a liaison for both feline and canine. She oversees vetting and CCHS activities at all the Petsmarts and Petco's that house our felines for adoptions, and personally handles adoptions and takes care of the Petsmart in Cartersville and Canton. She lives with her husband, 3 kids, 2 cats, and 3 bearded dragons.
Sherry has been with us for several year, fostering moms and pups in tandem with running the Petco Acworth canine adoptions. Sherry's team also helps the animals in her community by delivering food and supplies when it is needed, or taking in animals from hoarding cases and bad situations. She is the Western Team Canine Lead.
Jaime has been with us since 2015 and her love of animals and her family is astounding. Jaime, he daughter Libby, and their wonderful Pit Bull Mix fur-babies, Bog Boye and Coco, are always excited to bring orphaned puppies and other dogs into their home. show them true love, and help them find their place in this world.

O Cromato de Prata (Ag2CrO4) é um sal monocíclico vermelho-amarronzado e é um precursor químico da fotografia moderna. Ele pode ser formado combinando Nitrato de Prata (AgNO3)e cromato de potássio (K2CrO4) ou cromato de sódio(Na2CrO4). Esta reação é importante na neurociência, por ser usada no Método de Golgi de coloração de neurônios para microscopia: o cromato de prata produzido precipita dentro dos neurônios e faz sua morfologia visível.

Preparação
Cromato de prata é produzido pela reação de dupla-troca com um sal de prata solúvel, como na reação entre cromato de potássio e nitrato de prata.

Uso no laboratório
O uso do composto no laboratório é bastante limitado, embora sua formação é utilizada para indicar o ponto de equivalência em uma titulação de cloreto com nitrato de prata usando o método de Mohr (argentatometría).

A solubilidade de prata cromato é ligeiramente maior do que o de cloreto de prata (Kps = 1,1x10-12 or 6,5x10-5 moles / L). Então, em uma mistura de ambos os íons,o cloreto de prata (AgCl) será formado.

Antes do ponto final da titulação a solução tem aparência amarela-limão e leitosa, devido a cor do íon cromato e o precipitado de cloreto de prata já formado. Quando o ponto final estiver próximo, adições de nitrato de prata levam ao desaparecimento lento e constante da solução avermelhada.  Quando restar uma cor vermelho acastanhado (com manchas acinzentadas de cloreto de prata na mesma) o ponto final da titulação é atingido.

Home News Sony Xperia XZ3's Benchmark Listing Reveals Snapdragon 845 SoC
Sony Xperia XZ3's Benchmark Listing Reveals Snapdragon 845 SoC
We know the Sony Xperia XZ3 is just around the corner, and it was recently spotted on the GFXBench database flaunting high-end specs and running Android P. The Sony device, carrying the model no. SM H8416 was listed on the benchmarking site's database which revealed key specs of the Xperia XZ3, and they sure scream flagship.
As per a screenshot of the Xperia XZ3's specification sheet on GFXBench's database, the device is powered by an unnamed Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 2.7GHz, paired with an Adreno 630 GPU. Now, the Adreno 630 is the GPU that powers the Snapdragon 845, which makes it clear that the Xperia XZ3 will feature Qualcomm's top-of-the-line processor.

As per the benchmark listing, the Xperia XZ3 packs 6GB of RAM alongside 128GB of internal storage, and features a 5.9-inch QHD+ display with a resolution of 2880 x 1440 and support for multi-finger gestures. The database shows a single 19MP rear camera capable of recording 4K videos, however previous leaks have revealed that the Xperia XZ3 will come equipped with a dual rear camera setup comprising of a 19MP primary sensor and a 12MP secondary sensor like the XZ2 Premium. Also, the benchmark listing states that the Xperia XZ3 boots Android P, which contradicts with previous leaks which claim that the flagship device will run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.
Earlier this month, the complete specifications sheet of the device was leaked which revealed that the Xperia XZ3 will also have support for Quick Charge 3.0 technology. A few days later, a trio of hands-on images of the Xperia XZ3 also appeared online, revealing a dual-glass design with a curved back similar to the Xperia XZ2. The Xperia XZ3 will reportedly be unveiled at IFA next year, however, Sony is yet to make an official announcement.

Demand Council Support for a People's Vote
Before the EU referendum in June 2016 Bromley Council took the extraordinary move of passing a motion in favour of Brexit. Whatever your opinion on Brexit, we can all agree that it's a big deal that will affect our country for generations. The final deal the government negotiates will impact individual residents and businesses across the borough in different ways, not just economically.
Our Councillors voted to support Brexit – now we ask them to support local people and businesses and give us a vote on the final deal.
Two years ago they voted that "This Council agrees that the negative impacts that the European Union has upon the efficiency and cost of Bromley Council activities mean Bromley Council would be better off if Britain was out of the European Union".
Will the Council agree that local people should have final say on the deal?
We the undersigned urge Bromley Council to support a People's Vote on the final Brexit deal.

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool for disk drives, DVDs, CDs, and other digital storage media. It copies raw blocks of storage, such as disk sectors, from one device or file to another, while handling read errors in an intelligent manner to minimize data loss by scraping good sectors from partially read blocks.

GNU ddrescue is written in the C++ programming language, and is available as open-source software that was originally released in 2004. It is also available in binary form as a component in most Linux distributions.

Description
ddrescue uses a sophisticated algorithm to copy data from disk drives, and other storage devices, causing as little additional damage, if they are failing, as possible. It is considered to have the most sophisticated implementation of a block-size-changing algorithm in free and open source software, and is considered an essential data recovery tool.

The status of the copy process is recorded in a map file (previously called logfile) that aids in the progress of multiple stages of the recovery algorithm, and facilitates interrupting the recovery, and repeating it as needed to recover more data. The program does not write zeros to the output in place of bad blocks, so that additional errors not encountered previously do not destroy previously recovered blocks. This makes it possible to merge multiple defective copies of CDs or DVDs into one backup file. By virtue of the map file, only the needed blocks are read from the second and successive copies.

ddrescue also features a fill mode, able to selectively overwrite parts of the output file, which has uses such as wiping data, marking bad areas or even, in some cases, repair damaged sectors.

Unrelated recovery tools
GNU ddrescue is not a derivative of dd which also copies blocks of storage from disk storage, but does not operate in a strategic, algorithmic manner.

GNU ddrescue is also distinct from the similarly named program .

Tennessee state senator seeks acquittal, new trial
October 12, 2021 | by Associated Press | Copyright © 2022
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Attorneys for a Tennessee state senator are seeking an acquittal or new trial after the Democrat was convicted of four counts of wire fraud last month.
The motion, filed Oct. 8 on behalf of Sen. Katrina Robinson, argue that "the government created a mess in this case when they over-reached and charged Ms. Robinson with crimes, which they simply could not prove."
Robinson already had been acquitted by a judge on 15 of 20 charges sought by federal prosecutors in Memphis, where Robinson's school for health care workers is located. On Sept. 30, a jury convicted her of four of five counts of wire fraud.
Robinson is a Memphis Democrat who was elected to the Tennessee General Assembly in 2018. She has maintained that she is innocent but has declined to say whether she will resign from her elected position.
Robinson is currently scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 5.

Q: why use JSON.Parse(data) after ajax sucess? I have this following code.
success: function(data) {
    console.log(data) //everything
    console.log(data['quote']); //undefined
    var JSONObject = JSON.parse(data); //why parse again?
    var quote =JSONObject['quote']
    console.log(data['quote']); //returns quote
    }

why do I need to parse the JSON object again even though the return from api call is already a JSON Object?

A: It seems the data returned from server is JSON string instead JSON object. If the data is string, you need to parse that string to javascript object.

Claiming an Exemption from Self-employment Tax as a Limited Partner? Think Twice
Limited partners claiming an exemption from Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) taxes may be putting themselves at risk – in certain circumstances. In fact, more recently, it has become even riskier. Why? Because the rules are unclear, and the IRS has prioritized this issue in examinations and successfully challenged exemption claims in court.
"Unfortunately, neither the tax code nor regulations define the term 'limited partner'," says Neal Weber, BDO Managing Director, National Tax Office – Partnerships.
BDO shares insights on the current state of the law and potential risks to limited partners who are considering claiming SECA tax exemptions.
Unsettled law and IRS scrutiny
Under the Internal Revenue Code, the distributive share of partnership income allocable to a "limited partner" is generally not subject to SECA tax, other than for certain guaranteed payments for services rendered.
Some taxpayers take the position that any taxpayer holding a limited partnership interest in a limited partnership formed under state law should be considered a limited partner for purposes of the SECA tax exception – regardless of the taxpayer's level of activity in the partnership's trade or business. However, the IRS has been challenging taxpayers taking such positions, and several recent court decisions that have considered this issue have found in favor of the government.
The IRS is giving the issue increased attention as one of its Large Business & International (LB&I) compliance campaigns. Through the SECA Tax compliance campaign, LB&I notes that individual partners – "including service partners in service partnerships organized as state-law limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies" – are making inappropriate claims of qualifying as limited partners that are not subject to SECA tax.
The Biden administration also sought to address the issue legislatively, proposing to eliminate the current exception from SECA tax for limited partners who provide services to and materially participate in the partnership's trade or business. See BDO's Tax Strategist article, "The self-employment tax exemption may be ending for some limited partners. Will you be impacted?"
How courts have ruled on the issue
The IRS has been successful in a series of cases challenging SECA tax exemption claims involving limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) – as well as, in one instance, potentially a state law limited partnership. However, that entity's legal status was not considered by the court. BDO presents several case law scenarios for consideration:
Case Entity Outcome
Renkemeyer, Campbell, & Weaver LLP v. Commissioner, 136 T.C. 137 (2011) Kansas limited liability partnership Members of the LLP law firm were not limited partners for SECA tax purposes and, therefore, income allocated to the partners was subject to SECA tax.
Riether v. United States, 919 F.Supp.2d 1140 (D. N.M. 2012) LLC partnership Husband and wife were subject to SECA tax on their distributive shares from LLC.
Vincent J. Castigliola, et ux., et al. v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2017-62 Mississippi Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC) Members of PLLC in the practice of law were subject to SECA tax on their entire distributive share of the PLLC's income, despite the fact that they received guaranteed payments commensurate with local legal salaries.
George E. Joseph, T.C. Memo. 2020-65 Partnership for federal tax purposes, but status as state law limited partnership was not specifically considered by court Taxpayer was subject to SECA tax on his distributive share of partnership income, based on the taxpayer's failure to demonstrate that he was a limited partner for purposes of SECA tax.
Courts have not yet specifically addressed the availability of the exemption in the case of a state law limited partnership. However, the IRS is now beginning to tee up court cases to challenge limited partners in state law limited partnerships where the limited partners have not been allocated self-employment income with respect to their distributive share of partnership income.
One such case that may offer some clarity is the Soroban Capital Partners LP litigation, where two petitions were filed with the Tax Court by a New York hedge fund management company formed as a Delaware limited partnership. The petitions challenge the IRS's characterization of partnership net income as net earnings from self-employment. According to the petitions, each of the three individual limited partners spent between 2,300–2,500 hours working for Soroban, its general partner, and various affiliates. This suggests that the taxpayer does not plan to dispute that the limited partners were "active participants" in the partnership business. Resolution of this case could finally compel the Tax Court to squarely address the question of whether a state law limited partner qualifies for the "limited partner" exception to SECA.
Mitigate risk until definitive guidance is delivered
While the IRS has been successful in arguing that active members of LLCs and LLPs are not limited partners for SECA tax purposes, the only case to date possibly involving a state law limited partnership failed to specifically address the issue. The pending litigation in Soroban Capital Partners LP could provide definitive direction.
Although there is currently no clear authority precluding "active" limited partners of a state law limited partnership from claiming exemption from SECA tax, such a position should be taken with caution and a clear understanding of the risks – including being subject to IRS challenge if audited. Moreover, the opportunity to take this position could close depending on the outcome of Soroban Capital Partners LP.
BDO will continue to keep fund managers and other affected partners and partnerships apprised of the current judicial interpretation of the SECA tax exemption as the issue further makes its way through the courts. Contact us for assisting in evaluating how the current status of the law affects your tax position.

Ross' Story
Ross, a former student at SCO's Westbrook Preparatory School, is a motivated and engaging young man who has Asperger syndrome. "I'm actually different from many people with Asperger's in that I'm a very social guy," says Ross. "On the other hand, sometimes I am unaware of other people's feelings. I can be impulsive, and I do get overwhelmed. "
Ross had difficulty adapting at his previous public school due to these challenges. However, Westbrook's residential school setting gave Ross the opportunity to work on his social skills and develop strategies to help him avoid feeling overwhelmed.
One key element of life at Westbrook is the internship program. While students find comfort and build confidence living and learning with other teens who have similar challenges, they know that they need to prepare themselves to communicate and work well with all kinds of people. Ross's first internship was at Sports Authority, and he held another at St. Brigid's Elementary School Camp where he found talking with children about sports very rewarding.
His interest in sports led Ross to his next internship at WCWP 88.1 FM, the college radio station at CW Post. He ran the audio control sound board at sporting events, made guest appearances on a college sports talk show and researched sports information for use on air. He enjoyed his experience so much that he decided to study communications in college.
Jackie Tyree Kos
I began volunteering at SCO's Madonna Heights program in 1972, when my parents, Bill and Barbara Tyree, got involved. Then twenty-five years ago, I volunteered to start a 4H program for the girls at Madonna Heights. That 4H program is still going on and I look forward to Monday nights, bringing snacks and a special activity for the girls. Of course, for us it is still a family affair, and today, my daughters and my daughter-in-law are all Madonna Heights volunteers, too.
Why I support SCO
I was inspired by my parent's commitment to SCO, and for many years I just pitched in and helped them with their projects. But it was only when I started volunteering directly with the girls that I came to fully understand what a difference a volunteer can make. The girls at Madonna Heights are just like all kids their age: they need love and support, but they just don't always have easy access to those things. When I meet them later as successful adults, I can see what a difference love and support can make.
What I love about SCO
The programs and staff at SCO are amazing. It's exciting to be involved with an agency that is doing so much good for so many people… like the young women who periodically see me and still remember what a difference we made in their lives.
