By Uisdean 6 January, 20 6 June, 20 Biblically Themed
The blue sky and the blue sea melted into a luminescent white mist, obscuring the horizon. The Aegean Sea was an undulating pool of glass with the waves splashing softly. Above, the sky was a bright, deep blue, streaked with some high white clouds. John was standing on the eastern edge of a small peninsula. Everywhere he looked he saw blue or white; everywhere except the island behind him. The sea always made him think of Lake Tiberius. Even in Ephesus, when he went down to the shore he would look at the sea and long for the lake. Sometimes, when the commander was away, the soldiers would take him fishing. But it was never the same. The sea was nothing like the lake. The water was salt, the fish were different. And sitting in the boat with your gaoler was nothing like fishing with James and Peter.
Turning around he could see the hill rising up in a vain effort to assert itself over the island. For some reason he always thought of the transfiguration mount when he looked at the hill. Mount Tabor rose up out of the plain where it dominated the skyline for miles and miles; this mount rose out of the sea to become the highest place on a tiny, hilly island. There were some mountains near Ephesus. They towered over the river valley like towers in a mighty fortress. And the Temple Mount always gave one pause to see it—or it used to.
A tear came to his eye as he thought about the Temple. It and much of Jerusalem had been destroyed. But that was not enough. The Romans had to vanquish Masada too. Some god this emperor's brother had been. A devil was more like it. He had all but said so to the emperor's face.
Libel was the charge. And through a series of strange events the accusation had brought him to this lonely island. Patmos. It could have been worse. Domitian could have had his way. Instead, the governor sent him here, with a warning from the emperor that the only way off the island was to walk across the water. Apparently Domitian thought that was funny.
John turned back to the sea. He stepped carefully. His foot went straight through the water to the sand below. Every day he tried, knowing that it was nearly twice as far to the nearest island as it was across Lake Tiberius. And while ten Roman miles might not seem far, he kept thinking about Peter. John could not help but remember that night and Peter's account of it.
Peter stood up and looked at his friends. The eyes of his friends were full of fear, all that is, except for John. Not that John wasn't afraid, but that John had heard and, in spite of his fear, was looking at him with encouragement. Had the apparition called him?
The wind howled, blew spray on him and seemed to suck the breath out of him. He almost sat down, but caught John's eye. "He did call you," John mouthed, or maybe said, but the wind blew the words away. How, then, did either of them hear the call? Peter glanced out at the approaching apparition. Had it called him? It wasn't a ghost was it? Then he really looked at it.
Once again, it called him. Fear vanished. It was, it really was their friend. Joy filled his soul. He looked at the apparition, stepped up over the gunwale, then down. The surface held. He took another step. Still firm. His courage grew. Another step. It was solid! He could walk, just like…
A gust of wind blew hard against him, his cloak flapping. He pulled it around him and lifted his right foot. As he stepped the fury of the wind nearly blew him over. Fear welled up inside him and he looked at the wind. Fear overcame him. He actually saw the wind. It was just air, but he could see it.
Instantly, he was soaked, trying to swim in the fury of the storm. Frantically, he searched for Jesus, hollering, "Lord, save me!"
Jesus reached out, took his hand and pulled him up. Standing on the surface of the lake they stepped into the boat together.
Peter did walk on the water; but he also sank into the sea. John knew he couldn't walk across the sea: he really was afraid that, just like Peter, he might sink. Besides, where would he go? Jerusalem was gone. The governor of Asia had sent him here, he could not go back to Ephesus. It may have been the governor's orders, but it was with the emperor's approval.
Nero had been crazy, John thought, but these Flavian emperors were tyrants. Vespasian had been a relief at first, then he sent his son, Titus, to Jerusalem. This Domitian, however, was a shrewd tyrant. But it was worshiping the emperor and his family that really angered John. Domitian's first act as emperor was to proclaim the dead emperor, his brother Titus, a god. And John had expressed his doubts as to Domitian's ability to make a man a god. "God became man once, but man can never become God," he preached. That was twelve or thirteen years ago. Still, people remembered.
It really was a poor charge against him, but the emperor was paranoid. He had begun a purge all of those who opposed him. The purge was not religious, it was political. Many Patricians and Equestrians had been exiled and some had been executed. And Christians, by refusing to even pretend to worship Jupiter and Minerva, much less Domitian himself, had been caught up in the purge.
John had answered the emperor simply, but truthfully. At one point he thought Domitian might just whip him. But the emperor would not tolerate what he called libel and the death sentence had been proclaimed. Then John had done a very stupid thing. He called out to the emperor, asking, "So you say that Titus is a god? Did he walk on water? I saw Jesus walk across Lake Tiberius. Where is Titus now? Jesus I saw rise again after you Romans crucified him. And later I saw him ascend into heaven. Where are your brother's bones? They're still in your mausoleum. What kind of god did you make him, that he is still in the grave?"
Silence filled the court like a heavy, oppressive fog. John almost laughed as Domitian began to turn purple. "Fill a cauldron!" the emperor ordered, choking with rage on the words, "fill it with oil and make the fire blue hot. Strip him and parade him naked through the streets to the cauldron. Build steps. He can step up to the rim and walk across the boiling oil. Then we will know who is a god."
It wasn't huge. Maybe four feet in diameter. A big black iron tub mounted on stones over a roaring fire. Just off to the side were the steps, newly made, and ready for his ascent.
"If you get to the other side, just jump down. I didn't build any steps for that side." The centurion laughed.
John grinned, "Well, the emperor told you to build one set of steps. Why make jokes about following orders? The God of Heaven will take care of me no matter what happens, but who will take care of you?"
The centurion growled, "The fire is not hot enough. You, Archelus, guard him. Send for me when the flames turn blue."
It took several minutes for the blue flames to begin licking the sides of the cauldron. The heat forced everyone back a couple of feet. A messenger took off after the centurion and John began to feel fear.
John began to pray. In the middle of his prayer he had a vision. It was a memory of the twelve in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was walking toward them over the water. Peter stepped out of the boat and walked a couple of steps, then sank. Jesus reached down, pulled Peter up to the surface and they stepped into the boat. Afterward, Peter had described it to all of them. "It was because I was afraid," he said, "if I had trusted Jesus I would not have sunk. I took my eyes off of Him. I looked at and saw the wind and fear overcame me." John had not forgotten those words.
Then a second vision came to John. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were standing before the fiery furnace. John could see them being cast into the furnace and Jesus walking in the furnace with them.
His third vision was Paul before Nero. It was much like his appearance before Domitian. Paul was preaching. He tried hard to convert Nero, but Nero was lost. Then John saw something amazing. Nero was lost because he wanted to be lost. And John knew that this Domitian would not believe even if John did walk across the boiling oil.
He kept at his prayers even when he heard the noise of the emperor approaching. The centurion barked orders at him. He stood up and walked toward the cauldron. Heat blasted from under it. Some soldiers shoved the steps up against the cauldron. He climbed up and stood at the edge. Domitian was saying something, but he paid no attention.
The surface of the oil was smooth. Odd, he thought, the oil should be boiling. Maybe, just maybe, the Lord was going to give him this unwanted miracle. But no, it wasn't about him, it was about Domitian. The emperor wanted to see this miracle. He would make a plaything of John. Somehow claim that he, Domitian, had made the miracle. No, John thought, there would be no miracle today.
"Domitian!" The emperor looked up, shocked that this prisoner should address him as an equal. "The Lord has given you today, Domitian, to know that He loves you. He wants you to repent and be saved. He has cleared your schedule. You will get no petitioners today. No generals will seek audience. Today you will be in solitude, to pray and to repent. You will see no miracle here. The Lord loves you, Domitian, he knows your heart. He will not give you this fancy. You will not make a show of me. I will sink into the oil, but it is you who will burn."
Before Domitian could speak, he jumped feet first into the cauldron. The oil was hot, but not hot enough to kill him quickly. He would be in the oil for a long time before it finally burned him enough to kill him.
Eventually the soldiers pulled him out of the oil. Domitian and the crowd had left immediately after he had jumped into the cauldron. He did have some burns, which the soldiers treated. The soldiers who pulled him out of the oil were excited. They reminded him of children telling their parents about the games. "Who is this Jesus?" they asked, "what kind of god is he?" "Is he equal to Jupiter or is he more like Neptune or Apollo?" "How did he keep the oil from burning you?" John was amazed at the comments about the emperor. They whispered, "Did you hear the emperor yell when you jumped into the cauldron?" and "You were right, he did burn!" and "You could see fear in his eyes."
There were five or six soldiers coming and going while his burns were treated. They transferred him to a prison cell. There he told them about Jesus. They came when they were off duty, sometimes late at night, bringing their friends with them. He told them about Adam and Eve, explaining sin to them. He told them how Jesus was born and how he died as payment for their sin, too. He explained repentance and being born from above. And he told them to love one another. Then one night they brought pitchers of water and asked to be baptized. So he reached through the bars of the cell and poured water over each one in turn. Later, he learned from them that the governor was unhappy about this. "He will turn all my soldiers into Christians!" and so it was decided to send him to Patmos.
The sun was up above the mist that still obscured the horizon. The wispy clouds had drifted away leaving the sky the same crystal blue as the sea. Waves gently splashed at his feet. It was going to be another hot day. He headed back to the cave he used for shelter wondering what his Lord had prepared for him to do this day.
John was exiled on Patmos for eighteen months. During that time he was given the visions that became The Revelation to John, the last book in the New Testament. Domitian's paranoia ended with a successful assassination conspiracy and the Senate proclaiming Nerva the new emperor. One of Nerva's first acts was to pardon the exiles and permit them to come home. It would be another two centuries before the Roman emperor accepted Christ Jesus.
This story is adapted from an old legend. Many years ago I read that St. John had tortured by being boiled in oil, but that he survived.

Mitakihara win 2059 Mountain West Championship
By Furano Yukihira
It's simple the same old story, once again. Tatsuya Kaname's Mitakihara Magi won the 2059 Mountain West Conference Football Championship with a scintillating 76-14 victory over the Colorado State Rams on Saturday night at Mitakihara Stadium in Mitakihara Town, B.C. Quarterback Dean Amakusa passed for 294 yards and three touchdowns and halfback Tukul Abdul Rahman ran for 149 yards and three more scores to lead the Magi.
Amakusa also ran for 104 yards, halfback Tony Kalmar rushed for 88 yards, wide receiver Tony Graham Bell caught five passes for 105 yards and a score, wide receiver Marques Singleton caught four passes for 34 yards and two majors and left end Charles Mitchell led the blockers with 18 pancakes. Right guard P.J. Moris added 10 pancakes.
On defense, left end Jermaine Asante led the charge with nine tackles and a sack. Middle linebacker Jules Macklemore and right end Ronnie Andrews added two sacks and defensive tackle Mike Tsvangirai added one more. Strong safety James Appiah also recovered a fumble in the endzone off a blocked punt for a touchdown.
"We're on pace to kick off the next decade in style," Coach Kaname said after the game. "Everyone is excited to face Brigham Young in a few weeks. They are the best team in our division's subdivision for a reason, and we need to be at our best to take them down. We're going to rest for a few days and then we'll be making a move to New Orleans to prepare for the Cougars."
Mitakihara improve to 13-0 and will most likely finish No. 2 in the final BCS Rankings, which will be released tomorrow.

Investing in Uncertain Times
The lesson of 2020 is that we live in an era characterized by uncertainty, and investors need to adjust, says James K. Glassman, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.
Frank H. Knight, who received his PhD in 1916 and taught for 50 years, was an enormously influential economist and the mentor of three Nobel Prize winners. He devised a theory that held, "Uncertainty must be taken in a sense radically different from risk."
Uncertainty, in the Knightian sense, is an unmeasurable risk. It's something that has never happened before – for example, the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, the financial meltdown of 2008, or the coronavirus pandemic.
The rapidity of these events is not just bad luck. Rather, the world has grown more uncertain. One reason is that we are more connected. A disease in Wuhan, for example, can travel to New York in a few hours.
So how should we deal with uncertainty as investors? Not by running from it. Markets, by their very nature, reward investors for taking risks. In fact, Knight's contribution to economics was to show that entrepreneurs reaped profits because they were willing to challenge a world of uncertainty. Uncertainty is a major reason that stock returns are so high today. We're getting paid extra because the world is extra-uncertain.
In their new book, Radical Uncertainty, British authors John Kay and Mervyn King write that "good strategies for a radically uncertain world avoid the pretense of knowledge." Their first lesson for investors: Trust your gut. Buy companies that you believe have terrific ideas even if you are not sure how they will work out in the future. Good examples are Uber Technologies (UBER), which, despite a COVID setback, is creating a transportation revolution; Walmart (WMT), which is figuring out how to blend traditional and online retailing; and fintech firms such as Netherlands-based Adyen (ADYYF), a booming global payments platform.
The second lesson is to be a long-term stock investor. The recovery of the stock market from its COVID crash in February and March was unusually dramatic, but markets do always come back.
The third lesson is to collect the cash while you can – that is, buy stocks that pay good dividends. They abound these days in diverse sectors, and it is not hard to find companies that yield twice what 30-year Treasury bonds pay. Some examples: Principal Financial Group (PFG), the insurer and asset manager, International Business Machines (IBM), utility Southern Co. (SO), and pharmaceutical firm Merck (MRK).
Also consider iShares Select Dividend Index (DVY), an exchange-traded fund whose portfolio consists of stocks that have increased their payouts in each of the past five years; Vanguard High Dividend Yield (VYM); or T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth (PRDGX).
Knight realized that to succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to take a chance on the unknown. The same is true for investors.

You just can't trust the GPS on your phone. I've been wanting to buy one for use exclusively in my car (where else would I use it?) and it would have come in handy today. I get lost in Downtown easily but luckily Sparky's Roadside Barbecue was easy to find after my disastrous attempt to drive down a one way road thanks to my GPS.
I walked in and could smell the BBQ goodness in the air. I felt right at home as this isn't one of those trendy pretentious places trying to pass themselves as a barbecue joint. While I don't consider myself a BBQ expert I do consider myself an "experto" at spotting a fake.
I was kinda torn as to which of the appetizers to go for but the Wings and Corn Nuggets ended up being my choices. I wanted to try the Hush Puppies also but I figured there's always next time if I dig this place. The Wings were awesomely smokey and delicious but those Corn Nuggets. Damn those guys! The Corn Nuggets are breaded cream of corn deep fried. They're served with a side of ranch for dipping but it's really not necessary. Wow.
My wife Marcela orders Tyler's Pressed Sandwich (Brisket, Pulled Pork, Sauteed Onions, American Cheese & BBQ Sauce) while I go for the obvious choice of the half pound Angus Beef Burger w/American Cheese. The sandwiches are served with Waffle Fries (interesting) and Coleslaw (not my cup of tea). There are a bunch of sauces at the table, six to be exact. Sparky's BBQ Sauce was my favorite of the 6 but the one labeled "Magma" is sure to guarantee a bad time for the person who doesn't realize the serious heat they're about to take on.
I liked Tyler's Pressed Sandwich but I wish we had just decided to have the Brisket or the Pulled Pork individually. I'm not trying to dissuade you from having this I just think since it was our first time here we should have tried out the goods solo. Now, as for the burger…..well I was kinda speechless. It was so good, since the smokey taste permeated the patty. It had 2 slices of American Cheese and nothing else on it. I barely touched the waffle fries. I was mesmerized by it so much so that I ordered a second one.
The Mac'n Cheese and Cornbread were both fresh and solid. Good stuff and the Cornbread ended up being my guinea pig for the sauces I mentioned before. Also try the Apple Wood and Hickory Smoked Boneless Chicken Thigh, it's killer.
Burger numero dos arrives and I don't even remember eating it but I know I did. And I'd suggest you do the same. When you go save me a seat!

Biosecurity in Facilities
By Orlando Chambers	April 14, 2020 - 8:43am
Attached is a guidance document from the CAFE Emergency Operations group on appropriate measures to clean/disinfect facilities. The focus is on CDC recommendations for cleaning a facility after a suspected/confirmed COVID-19 case. We hope this will be useful in the event that someone in your lab or on our research farms tests positive for COVID-19. This is in addition to the previous guidance on how to clean/disinfect commonly shared equipment to prevent the spread of the virus.
Hope everyone is doing well.
According to the CDC:
Cleaning refers to the removal of dirt and impurities, including germs, from surfaces. Cleaning alone does not kill germs. But by removing the germs, it decreases their number and therefore any risk of spreading infection.
Disinfecting works by using chemicals, for example EPA-registered disinfectants, to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs. But killing germs remaining on a surface after cleaning further reduces any risk of spreading infection.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Building or Facility if Someone is Sick:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html
Close off areas used by the person who is sick.
Open outside doors and windows to increase air circulation in the area. Wait 24 hours before you clean or disinfect. If 24 hours is not feasible, wait as long as possible.
Clean and disinfect all areas used by the person who is sick, such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, shared electronic equipment like tablets, touch screens, keyboards, remote controls, and ATM machines.
If more than 7 days since the person who is sick visited or used the facility, additional cleaning and disinfection is not necessary.
Continue routine cleaning and disinfection.

A motion by New Bern Aldermen Jeffrey Odham to change the date of the city's municipal elections from 2021 to 2020 failed on a three to four vote Tuesday night. The proposed amendment to the City Charter provided that elections be held every four years in even numbered years beginning in 2020.
Odham explained that the motion was in response to a Feb. 15 presentation by Melonie Wray, director of the Craven County Board of Elections, outlining options to reduce the cost of the City's current municipal election process, which is currently held every four years in October. If the top vote getter doesn't acquire more than 50 percent of the vote, the second place finisher can request a runoff, which is held in November.
According to Wray, in 2009, the total election cost was $41,612, while the 2013 election cost the city a total of $55,529. Both 2009 and 2013 had runoff elections held in November. In 2017, there was no runoff, which brought the cost down to $36,454.
Odham said the suggestion to move the municipal elections to even years beginning in 2020, which would match the cycle of the Presidential elections, was an effort to both increase voter turnout and lower the cost of the elections. The proposal would have cut the current board's term short by one year.
Aldermen Sabrina Bengel said she was opposed to the change but would be in favor of holding the election in 2021 or 2022 and moving the date to November.
Odham said holding the election in 2022 would effectively add a year to the Board members terms, which he would not be in favor of.
After Odham made a motion to approve the amendment to Article III - Elections of the City Charter, Aldermen Odham and Johnnie Ray Kinsey, as well as Mayor Dana Outlaw voted yes the motion. Aldermen Bengel, Barbara Best, Bobby Aster and Jameesha Harris voted no.
Following the vote, Hal James, chairman of the Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association, told the Board he was there to speak in favor of the election date change. He said he was especially concerned with increasing voter turnout.
"The more people we can get out at elections the better we are. Municipal elections have very poor turnout traditionally and the presidential election would boost that extensively," said James.

PTC Therapeutics Receives Conditional Approval in the European Union for Translarna™ for the treatment of Nonsense Mutation Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
- The First Treatment Approved for DMD -
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J., Aug. 4, 2014 — PTC Therapeutics, Inc. today announced that the European Commission has granted conditional marketing authorization for Translarna™ (ataluren), in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD) in ambulatory patients aged five years and older.
"We are delighted that Translarna was approved for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy. By targeting the underlying cause of DMD, it has the potential to change the course of the disease. We are moving rapidly to make this product available to patients in the EU as we continue our global efforts to fulfill our vision of making Translarna available to all the boys it may benefit," stated Stuart W. Peltz, Ph.D., CEO of PTC Therapeutics, Inc. "We are grateful to the patients, families, advocacy groups and physicians who have supported PTC Therapeutics through many years of research and development of Translarna. The DMD community has been waiting a long time for treatment options and this conditional approval marks an important day for us all."
The authorization allows PTC to market Translarna in the 28 countries that are Member States of the European Union, as well as European Economic Area members Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. As part of the conditional marketing authorization, PTC is obligated to complete its confirmatory Phase 3 trial in nmDMD (ACT DMD) and submit additional efficacy and safety data from the trial.
The approval is based on the safety and efficacy results from a randomized double-blind multicenter study in 174 nmDMD patients for 48 weeks and our additional retrospective analyses of study data. The primary endpoint evaluated the effect of Translarna on ambulation as assessed by the change in distance walked (six-minute walk distance - 6MWD) during a six-minute walk test (6MWT). The post-hoc analysis showed that from baseline to Week 48, patients receiving Translarna (40 mg/kg/day given in 3 doses) had a 12.9 meter mean decline in 6MWD, and patients receiving placebo had a 44.1 meter mean decline in 6MWD. Thus the mean change in observed 6MWD from baseline to Week 48 was 31.3 meters better in the Translarna group than in the placebo group (p=0.056). Furthermore, in more severely affected patients whose baseline 6MWD was less than 350 meters, the mean change in observed 6MWD from baseline to Week 48 was 68 meters better in the Translarna group than in the placebo group. Patients on Translarna also showed a slower rate of decline in ambulation based on an analysis of time to 10 percent worsening in 6MWD. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency found that these results suggest that Translarna slows the loss of walking ability in nmDMD patients.
Additionally, based on a retrospective analysis, patients receiving treatment also trended better in secondary endpoints such as stair climb and stair descend time-function tests, which the CHMP also found to suggest slowing of nmDMD progression relative to placebo. Safety results showed that Translarna was generally well tolerated. Serious adverse events were infrequent, and none was considered to be related to Translarna. The most frequent adverse reactions at the recommended dose were nausea, vomiting, and headache. These adverse reactions generally did not require medical intervention, and no patients discontinued Translarna treatment due to any adverse reaction.
"The world's first approved treatment for the underlying cause of DMD marks a very important moment for patients and their families. It is our highest priority to make Translarna available to patients and we will be working with regulators, payers, physicians and patient organizations to make that a reality." stated Mark Rothera, Chief Commercial Officer, of PTC Therapeutics, Inc.
About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Primarily affecting males, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle disorder caused by the lack of functional dystrophin protein. Dystrophin is critical to the structural stability of skeletal, diaphragm, and heart muscles. Patients with DMD, the more severe form of the disorder, lose the ability to walk as early as age 10 and experience life-threatening lung and heart complications in their late teens and twenties. It is estimated that a nonsense mutation is the cause of DMD in approximately 13% of patients, or approximately 2,000 patients in the United States and 2,500 patients in the European Union. More information about DMD is available through the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy, Action Duchenne, United Parent Projects Muscular Dystrophy, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign and AFM (l'Association française contre les myopathies).

If you want to search for records for a spelling variant of Larbalestier, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.
You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.
The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.
From August 2020 we have started adding records from non-Anglican churches, and this process will continue as more records, held by Jersey Archive, are digitised and indexed.

Origin of Surname
Although the family was not considered sufficiently important (or affluent) to be recorded in Payne's Armorial of Jersey, the author notes in passing that it is one of very early settlement in Jersey, and is said to have derived its patronymic from the fact of an ancestor having held the post of bow-bearer to the Conqueror.
Arbaletée is old French for the distance of a crossbow shot and arbaletier for a crossbowman, from the Latin arcubalistarius.
The name is not widely known in France, and not at all in Normandy, although there are some families in the east of the country. It appears, therefore, that the earliest members of the family in Jersey came from England. However, the fact that close variants were recorded as early as 1309 suggests that the family was unlikely to have come to Jersey from England, which was far from common at the time.
Early records
The name first appears in Jersey in the Assize Roll of 1309. Anthony and Jehan are listed in the Jersey Chantry Certificate of 1550.

Larbalestier notes
Antoine Larbalestier (wife not known) had three children John, Catherine and Michel. Catherine married Simon Sarre and had a daugther Marie who married Edouard De Carteret. Michel had a daughter Collette who in 1530 married Richard Dumaresq.
John Larbalestier, Rector of St Trinity (appointed 10 March 1496) and St Peter (16 June 1507) was appointed Vice Dean of the island in 1531 by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Coutances (from the registers of that See).
Simon Sarre was Constable of St John (1524-1531).
Descendants of Antoine lived in Trinity during the 1800s in a house appropriately named Cross Bow House. Phillippe Larbalestier, the Farina of Jersey, came from the same family.
Although the fief des Augres became alienated at a very early period from the family of Larbalestier, it is not extinct to this day.
Farina of Jersey
The Encyclopedia Britannica of 1910 defines Eau de Cologne (Cologne water) as a perfume so named from the city of Cologne, where its manufacture was first established by an Italian, Giovani Farina (1685-1766), who settled at Cologne in 1709. The perfume gained a high reputation by 1766. It was originally prepared by making an alcoholic infusion of flowers, pot herbs, drugs and spices, distilling and then adding definite quantities of several vegatable essences.
In the case of Jersey, the following advertisement appeared in Jersey Illustrated 1895:
"Mr Phillippe Larbalestier - Jeweller and Perfumer, Charing Cross - this establishment is well known as one of the best in Jersey for high class jewellery and perfumery. Amongst the more fashionable kinds of scent for which the house is noted Eau de Cologne, White Lilac and Mikado, Jersey Bouquet, Esprit de Rose, Esprit de Lavande, take pride of place, but in addition to these, Mr Larbalestier distils and sells large quantities of White Moss and other popular perfumes. We may add that the business has been in the hands of the Larbalestier family ever since the time of its foundation in 1813 so that records date over a period of nearly sixty years. Locally it has always been patronised by the elite of society, whilst its general ramifications extend to literally every quarter of the globe."
The founder of the perfumery shop was Philippe Larbalestier (1795-1861, married Marie le Bourdon in 1820). His grandson Philippe sold the business to his cousin, another Phillippe of the above advertisement, before emigrating to Australia.

Peter Larbalestier
Corbiere lighthouse keeper
Jersey's La Corbiere on the south-west corner of the island, has proved a death trap for many ships. On St Catherine's day in 1495, five Spanish caravels were driven on these rocks and the sandstorm which destroyed the fertiltiy of Les Quennevais was attributed by tradition to God's wrath at the cruelty shown to their crews. In 1873 a lighthouse was built by the States. Imrei Bell, the engineer, chose an isolated rock 500 yards from the shore. On this he placed a concrete platform 9 feet high and a tower 35 feet high on top of that, the first lighhouse in the British Isles to be built of concrete. The rush of the tide round these rocks is extremely dangerous and powerful. At the entrance to the causeway is a memorial stone to "Peter Edwin Larbalestier, assistant keeper at the lighthouse, who on the 28th of May 1946 gave his life in attempting to rescue a visitor cut off by the incoming tide. Take heed, all ye that pass by!"
Peter Larbalestier had returned from the war in 1945 after serving as a merchant seaman (electrical engineer P&O) to work with his father in the Lighthouse. Peter lost his life by trying to save visitors who had been cut off by the tide when trying to cross the causeway between the lighthouse and the shore.

Larbalestier homes
Les Augres (Trinity): Now famous as the home of the Jersey Zoo, Les Augres is an instance of a confusion between the name of a house and a fief. This house is actually situated on the Fief of Dielament. The confusion arises when in 1634 Elie Dumaresq, already living in the house, also bought the Fief des Augres, which is also in Trinity. Les Augres had been a Larbalestier house and had passed to the Dumaresqs by the marriage of Collette, daughter of Michel Larbalestier to Richard Dumaresq circa 1530. Elie's mother, Francoise de Carteret, was the daughter and part heiress of the Seigneurie of St Ouen.
Crossbow House (Trinity): the house derives its name from association at some period with the Larbalestier family who were influential in the parish of Trinity. The house was owned by the Gruchy family and later by John Norman, Constable from 1887-90.
La Fosse (Trinity): this house is the only surviving house on the island with six granite fire places. The house was owned by Philippe Larbalestier and his wife Andree Gallie in 1668. Andree's father was Clemnt Gallie, Constable of Trinity from 1652-1660, and it is through her marriage, as an inheritance, that the house became a Larbalestier property. The house was later owned by Philippe's son Michel and his wife M Cabot in 1686. On the property is a farm house with an inscribed date of 1734 and with Michel's initials and shield carved over the fireplace suggesting that he lived there before he was married.
D'Hautrée
Holmbury (Trinity): This was previously one of the many Larbalestier properties in Trinity, and on an outhouse behind the present dwelling is a stone inscribed PLB 1659. Perhaps Phillippe lived here when he left Les Augres. The present house is dated 1801.
Museum of the Societe Jersaise: the arch leading into the Agricultural Room came from La Fosse and is dated 1686 with Larblestier-Cabot initials.
Philip Joseph Larbalestier was a linen draper at 48 King Street in the 1850s and early '60s
Larbalestier's Toy Warehouse was at 12 Queen Street in the 1890s
Philip John Larbalestier was a linen draper and silk mercer at 24 King Street in the 1850s

The only Thomas who would fit into these dates was Thomas Henry, born in St Helier in 1868, the son of John Charles Larbalestier and Amelia Sarah, nee Le Cras. The image has much more of an 1872 feel to it than 1900

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.
We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling
Starting in August 2020 we are adding several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form

My time at Akshi was amazing! I did 200 TTC in June, the place was really good, great building with mango trees that I enjoyed very much, the staff are very friendly and helpfull and Im thankfull for the teachers I had, very proffesional and knowledgeable. It was a month full of learning that Im still and will be procesing. If you allowed yourself to live the experience with all that you are and have, you will get a life changing. I will totally recomend Akshi school if you want to get to know the bases of yoga and to know and understand yourself better: You will feel the time is not enough to learn and develop your practice, you will want to come back, at least that is how I feel. Thanks to Akshi school for live with me this experience and for sharing the knowledge.
I was at Akshi in March 2018 for a 200h TTC. I was delighted by the peaceful environment, the proximity to nature, the quality and freshness of the food, the friendliness of the staff and especially by the knowledgeable teachers. I felt so much at home here that I came back 2 months later. The training is challenging, pushing you to your limits, physically, mentally and emotionally. The bonds you create with the people surrounding you make you feel supported through the whole process, providing anything you need to be at your own comfort. It really is a life changing experience giving you all the basics tools you need to deal with life's struggles. At least that's how it felt to me. If you are looking for an authentic, self-discovering experience I strongly recommend spending a month or more with the Akshi family.
Nothing like a 300-hour yoga teacher training set right in the heart of the Yoga Capital of the World can elevate your spirits, practice and passion for yoga!
Embark on this spiritual journey and get the benefits of advanced practice, healthy Ayurvedic food, excursions to explore the beauty of your surroundings - all to be on your way to be an excellent yoga teacher! Take your knowledge and practice to new heights with the expert team at Akshi Yoga. Enjoyable, challenging and rewarding- dont miss out!
Overall the teachers were excellent. Vivek has been toper about always answering my random question in philosophy and anatomy. The hatha morning class taught by Ashish was excellent and he was one of the teacher who I felt really cared. Another Particularly, transformative class has been pranayama with Pandey ji, Pandey ji has always given the impression of really caring for his students and their well-being. I had a really transformative experience doing this yoga teacher training. It's been really amazing learning so much while also having fun making friends from all around the world.
The 200-hour yoga teachers training taught me everything that is required for me to become a capable yoga teacher. I could never forget the days I spent at the training school as these were the most memorable moments of life. All teachers, staff and students were like a family to me, as we were enjoying with each other and helping each other. It was like we have again got back our school days. The teachers were also excellent and very helpful. They would be always there to help me to solve any problem I had. Learning at Akshi Yogashala was a very pleasant journey.
I found adjustment and anatomy most useful during training. Everything was useful something I knew before but also many new things. Teachers are very professional, great knowledge. Good balance in lecture and experiential learning. Also nice with adjustment during anatomy class. I am very satisfied with stay.
My wife and I have been there for the 200-hr yoga teacher course. Good rooms, good people involved with being kind and friendly but never forgetting to take their work very seriously. Always did their best to take good care of the group weather when it came to providing us all we needed to have a nice stay or to pushing our limits to make us better as human beings and yoga teachers offering not only good yoga training but also field trips to temples and cultural events. 10 out of 10 I would recommend!
My overall experience the course content was relevant and to my expectations. I enjoyed the daily routine with my classmates and teachers always kept the course interesting. On the last day we had a traditional ceremony with music and dancing with the whole team. My appreciation goes to all the teachers andf staff with special mention to Surendra Ji for looking after us for the whole month. I am looking forward to enhancing my learning experience further in the coming year.
My experience with Akshi Yogashala in Nepal was amazing. Our group of 9 students and 3 teachers stayed at a great hotel nestled into the beautiful lakeside of Pokhara. The schedule for yoga practice each day was very well managed, the teachers were very knowledgeable, and it was great to get perspectives from 3 different teachers throughout the day. I enjoyed learning Hatha and Ashtanga yoga in the beautiful Himalayas! Would recommend completing a training in Nepal.
For me the course has been a life changing experience. The course definitely helped me to get control over my emotions, my mind and body. It made me realize there is some sort of peace with in my self. I am grateful to my teachers for making me realize, Thank You.
I selected Akshi for my 200 hrs Yoga Training (TTC) and that is best decision I made. The teachers, trainers, and assistants were very knowledgeable and helpful. They knowledge and lectures are so deep in spirituality and also have a very precise scientific view of every thing that you do in Yoga. We started with orientation and they told us everything about what we will be teaching here. The school staff introduced us with rules and the excursions that we will be doing. They told everything about Rishikesh and what are the things you should do or not so. Although the school was strict as it does not allow caffeine alcohol or smoking but in return the Yoga lessons and the life and personal lessons which we get from teachers and staff were great. Guru Karamjit Hatha teacher was very strict but at the same time his classes were fun. Guru Vivek philosophy teacher taught us philosophy in most simplistic way and how can one apply it in daily life and benefit from it, he has extreme and deep knowledge of all aspects of Yoga.


This review aims to develop new insights about cultural activism as a means of claiming space and building place-identities in communities. As this is an under-explored area of research and scholarship, the review will build a foundation and conceptual framework for future research. This new line of enquiry will be based on an examination and synthesis of literatures on cultural activism, community activism and creative practice, and place-identities.
Through this work, the review seeks to inform the future shape, focus and priorities of the connected communities programme. In terms of specific objectives, the review will develop a conceptualisation of cultural activism reflecting the kinds of actors involved; nature and forms of creative practices (eg clowning, poetry, murals, etc.); political and social objectives pursued; and the relationships between activism and 'place'.

Q: PDB corresponding to a binary We have different versions of binary kept in SVN. We also keeps the pdb files corresponding to the binaries. Sometimes the developers check-in the wrong pdb files. This creates problems when an issue is reported by a client at a later point.
Is there any tools to check whether a pdb file corresponds to a binary?

A: Use this tool - ChkMatch. This both checks the match and also allows you to forcefully match(i.e. allow you to use wrong pdbs as long as they are not too different from the actual ones). Read through this page.

The response to a local restaurant owner's declaration that he will not air NFL games while players protest during the playing of the national anthem has been "overwhelming," that restaurant's owner said Thursday.
"The response has been overwhelmingly positive," said Bill DeFries, owner of Beef O'Brady's restaurant in Beavercreek.
DeFries, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, announced Wednesday that he respects the right of NFL players to voice their views. But he believes the national anthem is the wrong setting for protests, and he contends he has a right to voice his own disapproval.
"They can certainly exercise their right to free speech — but not during that one period of time, as far as I'm concerned," he said Wednesday.
His declaration on his restaurant's Facebook page has drawn more than 915 reactions — most of them positive — and nearly 300 shares as of Thursday morning.
"This is amazing …..well I am not watching it at home now so (I) might just head your way Sunday," Joseph Stone wrote on the Beef O'Brady's Facebook page.
"Well…when your business declines because you're not getting any customers, let us know how that goes," Joshua Clegg wrote.
But other reports cast doubt on that, however, with some saying no definitive corporate policy has been announced.
Messages seeking comment were sent to several spokespeople for AT&T Inc., which owns DirectTV.
About 150 NFL players kneeled or linked arms before or during the performance or playing of the national anthem this past Sunday. Many did it to protest or call attention to what they feel are instances of racial injustice or police brutality. Others did it to express solidarity with or support for fellow players.
The protests started last year with a San Francisco 49ers player, Colin Kaepernick, who is no longer with an NFL team. But the protests picked up steam after President Donald Trump criticized them late last week.
