Ferrari impresses in qualifying with fourth and fifth, but Vettel and Raikkonen want more
By Luke SmithMar 14, 2015, 9:30 AM EDT
Ferrari's new era got off to a good start in today's qualifying session for the Australian Grand Prix, as Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen qualified fourth and fifth respectively.
However – in perhaps a sign of things to come – neither driver was completely pleased with their performance on Saturday, believing that Felipe Massa could have been beaten to third place behind the two Mercedes drivers.
Vettel will make his Ferrari debut on Sunday, and has set his sights on a podium finish after an impressive first qualifying session for the Italian team.
"Let's keep our feet on the ground," Vettel said. "So far this weekend, it's gone well and we've had no problems with the car. It's a shame that third place escaped us, as that would have made us the first team behind Mercedes, but it wasn't by much and, after all the race is tomorrow.
"In terms of strategy, maybe we could have done something different, but basically the result is down to me. First and second are a long way in front, but the race is tomorrow and anything can happen during the Grand Prix.
"A podium? There's not much of a gap between third and fourth on the grid, so I think the podium is a realistic goal and that's what we have to aim for."
After a disappointing 2014 season, P5 on the grid appears to be an incredible result for Raikkonen, but the Finn was not happy with his final display in Q3.
"On my quick lap, I lost around three tenths at turn 3 and then I made a couple of mistakes in the next two corners," Raikkonen said. "We knew we couldn't fight the Mercedes, at least not in today's qualifying, but third place on the grid was possible.
"In any case, during free practice, we saw that our long runs are pretty good, so we can be confident of having a good race. All we need to do is get a good start and then give it our best, but I think we can fight for a good position.
"As a team, we are working well together and we have a pretty clear picture of the situation. We know we are quick, but we need to improve in all sectors and, as for myself, I have to drive better."

That EFCC vs Joe Musa and others Court Saga: Questions Need Asking.


House lawmakers have taken a step toward extending crucial — but expiring — financial protections to seniors receiving long-term care in home or community settings. They did so with backing from more than a dozen health care and provider organizations.
In general, to financially qualify for Medicaid long-term services and supports (LTSS), an individual has to meet certain low-income and asset requirements. Marriage often complicates those eligibility requirements, however, potentially putting husbands or wives in the position to "spend down" or bankrupt themselves to secure care support for their partner.
Medicaid is currently the primary payer for long-term care services and supports in the U.S. health care system.
As of August 2018, more than 73 million individuals combined were enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), according to federal Medicaid data. More than 66 million individuals were enrolled in Medicaid, while about 6.5 million were enrolled in CHIP.
To prevent self-induced bankruptcy for the purpose of continuing a spouse's Medicaid eligibility, Congress created spousal impoverishment rules in the late 1980s.
Originally, the rules required states to protect a portion of a married couple's income and assets to provide for the "community spouse's" living expenses when determining nursing home financial eligibility, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. States, though, were also given the option to apply the rules to home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers.
Section 2404 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) changed that stipulation, mandating that the spousal impoverishment rules treat Medicaid HCBS and institutional care equally. That provision is set to expire at the end of December, meaning individual states would once again become the decision-makers when it comes to spousal impoverishment in home care.
If passed, the bipartisan piece of legislation would permanently extend spousal impoverishment protections for Medicaid beneficiaries receiving long-term care in a home or community care setting.
While it is unclear how much Congressional support the Protecting Married Senior from Impoverishment Act will ultimately draw, the fact that most states plan to continue protections on an optional basis is encouraging, LeadingAge President and CEO Katie Smith Sloan said in a statement provided to Home Health Care News.
Washington, D.C.-based LeadingAge is an industry association that represents more than 6,000 not-for-profit senior care providers. If the Dingell-Upton bill fails, LeadingAge members in states that do not plan to continue impoverishment protections will likely be impacted negatively, Sloan said.
The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Inc., the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and AARP are among the groups that have lobbied on issues including "spousal impoverishment" in the past two years, an HHCN review of lobbying records found.
A bill previously introduced in the House in 2017 — H.R. 181 — also sought to change Medicaid eligibility requirements pertaining to spousal relationships.
Specifically, the bill sought to amend Medicaid to count as available income, for purposes of determining the Medicaid eligibility of an institutionalized individual, portions of certain annuity income made in the name of the individual's spouse.
The bill was last forwarded from the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health to the full committee by a 19-13 vote.


BRUNSWICK — Residents of "the home of the iron horse" are getting a say in how their city will be known in the future.
When Mayor Carroll Jones looked around at changes in his city last summer, he saw a large residential development in Brunswick Crossing and downtown revitalization projects in the works.
Jones did not want to dismiss Brunswick's long history as a railroad town, he said, but he decided the city should embark on a rebranding project that would incorporate the best of its history, along with its hopes for the future.
Jones asked Christina May, chairwoman of the city's Economic Development Council, to spearhead a group that would solicit and organize residents' thoughts on the project into a cohesive brand, including perhaps a new city slogan and logo.
May, public relations director for Pleasants Development, builder of Brunswick Crossing on the northwest side of the city, contacted 32 community organizations, including the local chamber of commerce, Brunswick Main Street, and church and senior groups.
Over several months, May and others videotaped for later transcription the focus group sessions that included more than 200 residents and neighbors, new and old, she said.
"It really is quite the community pride project, and that, for me, is really quite moving," she said.
The rebranding group asked these residents about their favorite thing about Brunswick, their impression of the railroad, the city's strengths and weaknesses, and what they would do for the city if they were given a blank check, May said.
Most residents responded with the same themes, she said. People do not see the railroad as the only thing that defines Brunswick anymore, though they are proud of its history. Recreational opportunities, from the C&O Canal to the campground to the city's 60 acres of parks, are now vital to the quality of life residents enjoy, she said.
Sports are also big, particularly baseball, she said. This July, Brunswick will host the state Little League tournament.
From the end of August through mid-October, Brunswick's Kaplan Building on West Potomac Street will be among five sites statewide to house the Smithsonian Institution's Journey Stories exhibit, May said. The Brunswick Railroad Museum and the Brunswick Public Library are hosting the exhibit.
The city's place as a historic transportation hub, even before the advent of trains in the area, will also play a part in the branding, she said.
Residents who could not make it to the focus groups will be able to provide their input at the city's website, she said.
The branding group will eventually put out a request for a professional to draw up a graphical representation of the city's new logo, May and Jones said. The group plans to present the city in June with a strategy document for implementing the brand.

My favourite thing about this season is, without a doubt, the changing and falling of the leaves. Watching the trees that line my route to work gradually shift colours over the course of a few weeks genuinely makes my drive a happier experience, and the chance to step on a crunchy leaf whenever I'm on foot fills me with glee. What better way, then, to celebrate my leafy love of the season than to don a dress that sports exactly that–it's Voodoo Vixen time.
If you're a regular reader of this blog then you'll have read me announcing at least a dozen times that it was love at first sight for me when I saw a certain dress, or skirt, or bag, or pair of shoes…okay, maybe less like a dozen, and more like a hundred. But what can I say? I find men hard work, but falling for pretty things I can twirl in is easy.
In this case, I actually saw the skirt version of this dress first, and thence came the fall. I quickly realised, though, that Voodoo Vixen would not be making the skirt in their plus sizes. Thence came the devastation. Such heartbreak! Why would they forsake me so? However, it was coming in a dress version, I was told, and so returned hope.
I wasn't fully sold on the dress style when I saw it initially, for reasons I couldn't quite put my finger on, but after mulling over the reality of missing out on this print entirely, as well as reminding myself honestly that I almost never wear skirts compared to dresses, I came around to the idea of the dress and decided to give this print a second chance. We could make it, this print and I. I just had to be willing to open up my heart again. And boy oh boy, am I glad I did.
I am all about roses right now. Mostly that has manifested itself in coveting intricate rose embroidery or realistic fabric prints, but I think there's still room in my overflowing wardrobe for a cuter, simplified form of this noble flower. Answering that call is Voodoo Vixen's new Rose Applique cardigan.

Q: Can we have a whitelist of exceptions to the title filter? As has been pointed out previously, the controversial title word filter prevents people like this one from referring to things like the Halting Problem in their question titles, which - besides being a frustrating and unpleasant UX to have to work around as a user - makes those questions harder to search for.
It's been made pretty clear that the establishment is strongly in favor of the filter and that it isn't going to go away - and that the filter probably does some genuine good. That said, can we reach a compromise that keeps the benefits of the filter while removing its major downside? A whitelist of compound terms that include the word 'problem', such as 'halting problem', would make all the harm done by the filter disappear completely and leave only the good.

NetNut proxy provider review
A hard nut to rate
By Mike Williams, Mayank Sharma
(Image: © NetNut)
TechRadar Verdict
A speedy service which could work for heavy-duty tasks, but with some unexpected issues and irritations.
Fast static proxies sourced direct from ISPs
Fair value for high bandwidth/ request volumes
High starter prices
Basic support website
Cheapest plans don't include live support, IP allow-listing
Why you can trust TechRadar Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Every proxy (opens in new tab) provider makes big claims about its speed, but Tel Aviv-based NetNut (opens in new tab) goes further than most:
'fastest in the market', the website boasts, with the capacity to handle 'hundreds of gigabytes per second' ensuring you can 'access any geo-targeted web data content you need.'
This isn't just marketing spin, though. While most proxy providers use peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to source their residential IPs, NetNut works with a company called DiviNetworks to acquire them directly from more than 100 ISPs around the world. With the usual reliance on end users replaced by direct ISP connectivity, NetNut eliminates a major performance bottleneck and ensures it can better scale up to handle large-scale tasks.
As a very welcome bonus, because these IPs aren't tied to real user devices, you don't have to worry that they'll disappear at any moment. You can decide how long to keep them.
These static residential proxies are NetNut's premium product, with 1 million IPs in over 50 countries. But if they've overkill for your project, the company also offers more than 10 million rotating residential proxies worldwide (including P2P-sourced IPs), and 110K+ US datacenter for simpler scraping tasks.
(Image credit: NetNut)
NetNut used to focus very much on the high-end business market, but these days it has plans for just about every level of user.
The company's US datacenter plans (opens in new tab) start at just $20 a month for 20GB bandwidth, for instance. There are no concurrency limits to get in your way, so you can run as many connections as you need. The starter plan (opens in new tab) doesn't have live support - it's email-only - but that's no great surprise at this end of the market.
Ramping up to the Advanced plan (opens in new tab) gets you 50GB bandwidth for $45 a month, with live support thrown in (although chat is via Skype, which is hardly convenient.) The $80 Production plan (opens in new tab) offers 100GB bandwidth and a dedicated account manager, and at the upper end of the range, the Master Plan (opens in new tab) costs $500 a month for 1TB traffic.
These aren't the cheapest prices around, and you might find better deals at specific price points. The Smartproxy Clever plan (opens in new tab) gives you 100GB traffic for only $50 a month, for instance, which looks relatively cheap. But NetNut scales up well, and overall, its prices are competitive with the top proxy providers.
NetNut's rotating residential products come in two flavors: bandwidth-based and request-based.
The bandwidth-based plans (opens in new tab) have six tiers. The cheapest gives you 20GB for $300, or $15/GB. Moving up the scale gets you more bandwidth and also extra features. For example, the $800 Production plan (opens in new tab) supports 100GB traffic, and adds IP allow-listing and a dedicated account manager. And the top-of-the-range $4,000 a month Master plan (opens in new tab) offers 1TB of traffic, and adds API access and City/ State selection.
The enterprise-strength request-based plans have a high starting price, but are also a lot simpler. All plans have the same features, and you're solely paying for requests, from $7,500 a month for 50M to $25,000 for 250M.
NetNut's Static Residential Proxies (opens in new tab) follow the same pricing pattern. Bandwidth-based plans are approximately 20% more expensive than the rotating residential equivalents, starting at $350 for 20GB, but request-based plans are priced identically, from $7,500 a month for 50M.
Again, these are reasonable value for customers with substantial needs, but could be expensive for simpler applications. Beware the feature restrictions, too: even budget providers typically include IP allow-listing, but that's a premium feature here. Read the small print carefully and make sure a plan is giving you everything you need.
There is some good news, though. NetNut offers a free 7-day trial, plenty of time to get set up and see how the service works for you.
NetNut's ISP-sourced proxies bring several benefits, as we've seen. Essentially, you get the stability and performance of data center IPs, combined with the resilience and stealth of residential IPs.
These IPs are accessed via what NetNut calls its 'super proxies', load balancers which accept the request and allocate you 'the IP address which is most likely to be available in the requested location.'
There's no limit to the number of concurrent requests you can send and in fact NetNut recommends that users initiate as many concurrent sessions as possible for best results. They claim to have customers who send more than 30 million requests every day.
NetNut says that you can use its proxies with all websites, including search engines. The company also offers optimized private proxy pools based on your target to ensure maximum success rates.
The company doesn't offer much in the way of management tools to simplify your use of the service. Smartproxy has its multi-session X Browser, a zero-coding Smart Scraper tool, a Chrome and Firefox extension, and more. Meanwhile, NetNut used to have a Chrome extension, and it's still listed in the FAQ, but the link took us to a 404 'page not found' error and we couldn't find it when searching the Chrome store. That's the kind of unprofessional issue we expect from dubious budget providers, not a high-end business service.
Using NetNut
Signing up for NetNut's data center proxies is simple: just choose a plan and hand over your cash (credit cards and Alipay are supported.) If you're after the residential or ISP proxies, you'll need to contact the company and a representative will walk you through the signup process.
Logging into the NetNut site took us to its web dashboard. This is surprisingly basic, with little more than the details of your plan, account and billing information, and areas for assorted metrics and usage stats.
It wasn't immediately obvious how to get started. There's a FAQ, but it's the pre-sales type, lacking in any kind of useful detail. And as mentioned above, it looks poorly maintained (one page has a link to NetNut's Chrome extension, but it's broken, and gave us a 'page not found' 404 error.)
There is some relevant information. Sign up and NetNut sends you an email with very basic details, and an Implementation Guidelines page (opens in new tab) had sample code for C#, Ruby, Java, PHP, Python, Node.js and cURL.
The problem is these are just a few lines of text, with no background explanation at all, or even any working examples. For example, the entire 'proxy with sticky IP' section is just these two lines:
proxy server: http://gw.ntnt.io
proxy user: username-dc-country_code-sid-any_number (up to 8 digits)
Uh, what are the country codes? What's the significance of the eight-digit number? These aren't difficult problems, but we expect better presentation from a service when you might be paying them thousands of dollars a month.
If you run into difficulties, you could contact support. This is less convenient than usual, with email-only contact on the lesser plans and live chat via Skype, and response times aren't always good (we asked what had happened to the Chrome proxy extension one Sunday evening, for instance, and there was still no reply by the next morning.) But the team has no issues with general operation questions, and we've found they give helpful and accurate advice for most setup and troubleshooting issues.
NetNut's ISP-sourced proxies give it a major advantage over the standard rotating residential competition, but the company doesn't make much effort to simplify setup and usage, and it's relatively costly for small-scale use. It does deliver the features you need for most applications, though, and the seven-day trial shows the company is confident in the service. If you've a demanding project and regular rotating proxies won't do, give NetNut a try, see if it fits your bill.
We've also highlighted the best proxy (opens in new tab) and best VPN (opens in new tab)

Less than a week after he declared immigration reform's prospects dead, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) is now saying that Obama has the legal authority to act without Congress.
Gutierrez's comments come just one day after Obama said he will act on immigration reform if Congress doesn't bring a bill to his desk.
Obama couldn't care less about being faithful to the Constitution and executing the law. He is a tyrant, sure. But worse than that, he is a desperate one. With his poll numbers tanking, Obama is now grasping at straws.
Americans do want the immigration issue addressed. But if Obama goes around Congress and creates law out of thin air, he will end up digging himself in a deeper whole.

Free Money - Rebates and Incentives for Your Roof
After years of neglect, your roof is finally getting the attention it deserves - attention in the way of free money for building owners who invest wisely in their own roofs.
Utilities and state and city energy offices in California, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and a growing number of other areas are realizing that energy efficiency abounds on a building's rooftop. A massive re-allocation of commercial rebates and public benefit programs has begun to provide incentives for the immediate installation of insulated, highly reflective roof surfaces, also called "cool roofs." They are also aware of the fact that white reflective roof is the best way to protect the resistance ("R") value of foam type insulations that are affected by elevated temperatures.
For example, the California Energy Commission is offering a rebate incentive of 15 cents-per-square-foot for the installation of a "cool roof," as well as an additional five cents-per-square-foot when insulation ofR-2 or greater is added.
Florida Light and Power has developed a Commercial/Industrial Envelope (CIBE) program to help reduce current and future electrical demand and energy usage from air-conditioning equipment. Highly reflective roofs qualify for 15 cents-per-squarefoot of installed roof. When insulation is included, the incentive ranges from an additional 10 cents- to 25 cents-per square- foot. Additionally, Austin Energy in Texas is providing incentive payments of 25 cents-per-square-foot of installed reflective roofing when combined with CFC-free insulation.
Study Quantifies Savings
In a demonstration project conducted to prove the rationale for using a white reflective roof, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency commissioned the monitoring and verification of energy savings and demand reduction on a 100,000-square-foot retail store in Austin, TX. This large national retailer chose to replace its black rubber roof with the EnergySmart Roof a white, hot-air-welded roof.
According to researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory By Brian Whelan (LBNl), the payback for the building owner was "instantaneous." The FMLA analysis of the building predicted that the roof membrane reduced average summertime air conditioning peak demand {l-4pm) by 14 percent and daily energy savings by 11 percent.
Furthermore, researchers estimated the total annual air-conditioning savings to be $7,200 or 7.2 cents-per-square-foot. Over the life span of the membrane, total savings were estimated to be between $62,000 and $71,000 (present value), based on a conservative estimate of typical membrane longevity. It should be noted that Sarnafll roofs have been known to last 25 years and more, thereby increasing the total savings dramatically.
Armed with similar third-party research documentation, building owners are beginning to demand action from their servicing utilities and from policy-makers at state energy offices across the country. Even if a rebate is not available for your immediate roof project, a long-lasting, white reflective roof is a sound investment that will save you money.

\subsection{Model creation}
To create the system model we used a system identification technique \cite{ljung1994modeling}, where a model of a dynamical system is built from the data. The process requires the following steps:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Extract the data describing system behaviour in different modes.
    \item Select a model structure.
    \item Apply an estimation method to estimate values for the adjustable coefficients in the candidate model structure.
    \item Evaluate the estimated model.
\end{enumerate}
The wireless thermostat, controlling  temperature in a closed room, is a part of our physical testbed of IoT network of more than 30 devices, based on a Z-wave protocol \cite{zid2020double}. Therefore, we extracted the data for creating the model from the experimental measurements. We selected the series of data points, corresponding to behaviour of the thermostat after "switch on" and "switch off" commands.
One model includes two equations describing behaviour in "on" and "off" modes. In total, we could identify 15 models having different coefficients in the equations. Evidently, due to varying environmental conditions, i.e the opened door, higher or lower humidity, heat transfer from outside, the coefficients in the selected model structure had to be adjusted to better fit the original data. Creating one complex model, with high number of inputs, considering the environmental conditions, would make the execution of the model computationally expensive.

One of the challenges is to select the model structure. In our case, the heating and cooling of a closed space is guided by physical laws, such as Newton Law of cooling \cite{winterton1999newton}. The law has an exponential nature, therefore our experimentally selected model structure is based on increasing and decreasing exponential function.

We propose the following time-discreet model structure for the $M_1$ ("on") mode:
\begin{equation}
    Y = k_{on1}*(1 - e^{-k_{on2}*t_i}) + T_0
\end{equation}
and for the $M_2$ ("off") mode:
\begin{equation}
    Y = k_{off1}*(e^{-k_{off2}*t_i}) + T_0 - k_{off1}
\end{equation}
Here $k_{on1}$, $k_{on2}$, $k_{off1}$, $k_{off2}$ are the unique coefficients defining the model behaviour in a particular environment. $T_0$ - is the starting temperature and $t_i$ - the discreet time step value.
We keep the coefficients in a table, such as table \ref{tab:tab1}. As an example, we show coefficients for the three obtained models.
\input{tables/table1}
To obtain the coefficients, the points from the data must be fitted by a curve with minimal deviation. We used python SciPy library, namely $curve\_fit$ function from $Optimize$ class, which  is based on non-linear least squares method \cite{scipy}.
The average root mean square error between original and approximated data did not exceed 0.5 degrees.
\subsection{Generating initial test cases}
To automatically generate the test cases we represent the thermostat system as a Markov chain with two states "on" and "off", which is shown in Fig.\ref{fig:markov}. The probabilities of changing the states were estimated empirically, so that most of the generated test cases are semantically correct. A change of state occurs with probability of 0.9 and state remains the same with 0.1 probability.

After reaching a particular state, we randomly choose a temperature value the system is expected to reach, the time interval to be spent in the state and the the model coefficients to use, so that each state is represented by a triplet (temperature, duration, model), similar to (1). In this way, a test case represents a temperature schedule a user might define.

For each execution we indicate the expected duration of the test case as well as the number of states. We chose the duration to be 24 hours, representing one day, and having 5 to 12 states in each test case.
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[scale=0.22]{images/markov.png}
\centering
\caption{Thermostat system representation with a Markov chain}
\centering
\label{fig:markov}
\end{figure}

We implemented the algorithm in a python script, which saves the generated test cases in a "json" format.
\subsection{Genetic algorithm description}
To find the test cases maximizing the difference between the expected and simulated behaviour we implemented a genetic algorithm in Python with Pymoo framework \cite{pymoo}.
In our configuration the number of generations is
$N_G$ = 90,  mutation rate is $m_r$ = 0.4, crossover rate is $c_r$ = 0.9 and
population size: $p_{size}$ = 100.
These values were established experimentally and following the common practices.
\subsubsection{Solution representation}
The solution is composed by at least one test case, containing from 5 to 12 states.
The chromosomes are the test cases, represented in the software implementation as a dictionary, see Fig.\ref{fig:chrom}. They have a variable number of genes, where each gene corresponds to a system state.
In the figure, "temp" parameter describes the expected temperature in each state, corresponding to the system input values, "model" - a family of models to use and "duration" - time the system should spend in each state.
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[scale=0.29]{images/tc.png}
\centering
\caption{GA chromosome representation, tc - test case, st - state}
\centering
\label{fig:chrom}
\end{figure}
\subsubsection{Selection}
We use the k-way tournament selection implemented in Pymoo to choose the parents.
\subsubsection{Crossover operators}
We implemented a crossover operator that exchanges the states between two different test cases as shown in Fig.\ref{fig:cross} We use a one point crossover.
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{images/cross.png}
\centering
\caption{Crossover operator for two test cases of 5 and 6 states with crossover point at the third state}
\centering
\label{fig:cross}
\end{figure}
\subsubsection{Mutation operators}
We define two mutation operators, similar to \cite{arrieta2017search}:
\begin{itemize}
    \item \textit{exchange operator}: two states of a chromosome are randomly selected and exchanged the positions;
    \item \textit{change of variable operator}: a state in a chromosome is randomly selected, then for one of the state variables (temperature, duration, model) value is changed according to its type and maximum as well as minimum values.
\end{itemize}

\subsubsection{Fitness function}
In our study the fitness function evaluates the root mean square error between the simulated and expected behaviour. The expected behaviour is specified in the test cases, which are given as an input to the system simulation. The test case is executed using the specified models and the values of system behaviour are calculated. The fitness of 1 signifies that the system can provide the temperature with the difference from the schedule of 1 degree on average, which might be acceptable for a typical user. As the Pymoo framework minimizes the fitness function, in our implementation we multiply its actual value by (-1).

23.RECOMPENSE5 STANBERY (RECOMPENSE4, JOSIAH3STANBOROUGH, JOSIAH2, WILLIAM S.1) was born October 19, 1710 in NJ ?, and died May 20, 1777 in Scotch Plains, NJ.He married (1) FIRST WIFE UNK.He married (2) MARGARET WOOD Abt. 1748 in bel Scotch Plains, NJ, daughter of JONAS WOOD and MARY MORSE.
Son of Recompence born 1672 Southampton, Long Island, NY. Born Oct.19, 1710 believe in Scotch Plains, NJ. Died May 20,1777 in Scotch Plains, NJ. Buried Scotch Plains Baptist Church Cemetery. 1st wife unknown name 2nd wife Margaret Born unknown date, died Jan. 18, 1812. Buried Scotch Plains Baptist Church Cemetery. She remarried to John Darby in 1780. Recompense is listed as a DAR Patriot for Public Service. Was a member of the Committee of Correspondence, County of Essex. A founding member of Scotch Plains Baptist Church in 1747 with a John Stanbery(brother?).
The STANBURYS came from Kent County, England, in the 1600's and were among the earliest settlers on the Scotch Plains. Recompence, 1710-1777, was a farmer and merchant. An inventory of his estate, made shortly after his death, hows that he was a wealthy man, though part of his assets was in bonds owed by many of his neighbors. Some of these bonds were never paid to the heirs as those who had given them had gone to war and never returned.
Recompence Stanbury was one of the early supporters of the plan to build the Meeting House at Scotch Plains, and was one of the first deacons and ruling elders, positions of great trust and responsibility, for the Church kept strict watch over the welfare of its members, and the worthy deacons spent many hours with those whose feet were wandering from the rightful path. When attending to his own private affairs, Recompence Stanbury was busy; as a "shop keeper", farmer, a maritime trader (owning with his sons, a sloop), banker, and in other ways he was the village "Squire". During the early days of the Revolutionary War he was amember of the Committee of Correspondence, though his decease in 1777 cut short his service to his country. Of his large family ofsons and daughters much could be told. They were an interesting family; the girls as well as the sons were well educated for that day, and many letters have been kept telling of their experience during the war years. One daughter, Phebe, married at 15 a young man from Connecticut, Jedidiah Swan, who had come to live in Scotch Plains some years before. He became prosperous, owning land, horses and cattle, which he left in the care of his young wife while he was serving as a captain in the army. Her letters to him show ability, intelligence and much wit. Recompence Jr., born in 1758, ran away from home to join the army, as his parent: considered him too young. He became an express rider, carrying messages of great importance (once to Governor Livingston); stationed in barracks near Woodbridge, he spent little time there, as express riders were kept busy covering many milesbetween camps. Recompence Jr. owned his own horse and paid the feed bill from his own funds. He seems to have enjoyed many of his experiences, and has left thrilling stories of the work of the young riders. After the war he married and settled down to live the life of a country squire, as his father had done. He built a fine house on the corner of (the present) Park Avenue and Mountain Avenue in Scotch Plains, though he lived in the old Inn for a few years. As Inn-keeper, he helped the townspeople celebrate the organization of Westfield Township, on January 27th, 1794. From the letter written by a young lady who was present at the celebration it seems to have been a gala occasion. She wrote, "'an ox was roasted whole, there were stacks of pies, and doughnuts by the bushel. The young men had a good time wrestling and shooting at marks; there was plenty of cider for the men" (perhaps the ladies drank tea). All this was supposed to have taken place at the old Inn, which was a social center for the area. A few years later the Inn was taken over by Jacob Stanbury, a younger brother when he learned of the plan to have Scotch Plains made a stopping place for the new Stage Coach Line, "The Swift-Sure Line", which began its career in the spring of 1799. Diaries and Journals written by travelers who stopped at the Inn for dinner, on their way between New York and Philadelphia, speak of good meals and an affable host at the old Inn, which is said first to have opened its doors in 1737. Jacob Stanbury bequeathed the inn to relatives who soon sold it, and a property that had been in the possession of the Stanburys possibly for a hundred years passed into other hands. The lovely old "Stanbury House" built by Recompence Jr., to please one of his four wives, was sold about thirty years ago * by the last one bearing the family name, but to older residents of Scotch Plains it is still the "Stanbury House". * About 1917An article about the Frazee family mentions the following of the Stanburys;"The men cut down the heavy timber and with their slow moving oxen drew it to the "Amboys", where it began its journey to shipyards in Old England, to be used for masts on English men-owar. On the return journey they carried provisions for the village merchant, Recompence Stanbury, whose sloop piled the waters of Staten Island Sound and New York Bay, bringing many luxuries as well as necessities to be sold to eager housewives."
1777, May 8. Stanbery, Recompence, of Borough of Elizabeth, Essex Co., Esquire; will of. Wife, Margaret, the use of the plantation where I live, which I bought of Joseph Searing, and the use of my outland, till my children are 21.Son Joseph, L30. Daughters, Margaret Stanbury and Anna Stanbury, L90 to each, when they are 18. Daughters, Phebe Swan, Rhoda Swan, Sarah Trembly, Margaret Stanbury and Anna Stanbury, rest of moveable estate.
JOSEPH born May 31,1738, Scotch Plains, NJ A Loyalist, died in New York in 1809, Secretary of an Insurance Co. A will for a Joseph Stanbury is found with wife, Susannah Porter sons, Isaac, Joseph and John dated 1805, Rahway, NJ. Believe son Joseph married Margaret Thorp, Oct.21,1798 in Rahway Presbyterian Church. He was born about 1775 died May 29,1849 in Rahway. Margaret born about 1782 died Jan.30,1848 in Rahway, unknown on children.

Comment 4: To Family, to Church and State."
Margret was born (date given in Ida Frost Robinson's Items of Ancestry) as July 20, 1729 to Jonas and Mary (Morse) wood, who had a plantation in Elizabeth, NJ. Sometime after her little sister, Sarah, was born, her mother died, and Jonas remarried a second Mary, a widow Winans. There were no children by this marriage.
Perhaps Margaret didn't get along too well with her step-mother, as Margaret named no child for her own mother, whose name was also Mary (unless a child died we don't know about).
When Margaret was 17 or 18, her step-mother died (1747) and shortly thereafter in 1747 or 1748 Margaret was married to widower Recompense Stanbery Jr., probably by the minister of the Scotch Plains Baptist Church. He was 38 years old. She therefore moved into a well-established household with Recompense's sons by his first wife, Joseph, 10 years old,and Issac who was eight. Jacob would have been seven, although he may have died in infancy.
Margaret undoubtedly led a busy life cooking over the fire in the fireplace, making soap, dipping candles, spinning wool and flax, and knitting stockings, to name a few of the chores expected of a housewife. No doubt she also taught the children their lessons, as records show the offspring of Recompense were well educated for their day in reading and writing. Children were taught at home in those days.
We think her husband was often away from home, so that she had to manage alone. Records show that Recompense transported "provisions and necessaries" to Savannah, GA., in 1737 and 1739 and probably continued to do so throughout his career and to visit other coastal cities. He may, in fact, have been away when quite a few of his offspring were born, leaving Margaret with the responsibility of naming them, as she invariably chose those names from her own family.
She presented Recompense with nine children, five girls and four boys. When her youngest child, Jacob, was five, her husband died (May 20,1777). She was 48, and the American Revolution was in full swing. Two of her sons went to war, Samuel and Recompense III.
On Sept. 2, 1780 she married Capt. John Darby and lived the rest of her life in the Darby home.
She died on "Jann ye 18th 1812" in the 83rd year of her age.
End in a large reward."
"I note in marriages sent by Mr. Greaves in 1946, that a Sarah Wood married a Josiah Stanbery of Mendham, NJ, Feb. 17, 1751, some three or four years after Margaret married Recompense Stanbery. This could have been Margaret's little sister, but who was this Josiah? Recompense had abrother Josiah, was this he?"
We are descended from Woods NOT Searings!
In the 1930's and 1940's a Mr Richard P. Greaves of Scotch Plains, NJ, slipped the Stanbery descendants a red herring when he asserted that the wife of Recompense Stanbery Jr., was named Margaret Searing. I was surprised, to say the least, that at last we knew Margaret's maiden name, as none of the sources I had checked gave her family name. But when I pressed Mr. Greaves for his source in 1946, he could only state that "someone told (him her name), so he put it down, hoping that further study might prove it to be correct".(Why did he want her name to be Searing?) This when he had been circulating the name as Bible truth!
I now think no one "told him" at all, but he saw the name Joseph Searing in Recompense will of 1777 (NJ Archives XXXIV p.492-493, Recompense had bought property from Searing) and later put "Searing" down, not realizing where he had come across it. Unfortunately, he circulated this Surname far and wide to many diverse Stanbery descendants across the United States, with the result that we almost came to accept the name simply on the basis that it appeared in so many cousin's records (without any source named).
I remember felling very angry when Mr. Greaves letter arrived in 1946 admitting there was no source for the name "Searing". Perhaps Margare was communicating with me somehow that her name had been no such thing, and I was not to swallow it hook, line and sinker. Thus I did not provide a surname for Margaret when writing to relatives unless I cautioned that it was suspect and bore no proof.
It was a relief to me, therefore, when evidence turned up almost 50 years later to prove Mr. Greaves was wrong and my instinct correct. Although I have found no Bible or marriage records to back up my allegations ( there simply aren't any) -- I think my assertion that Margaret was a Wood can be at least partly backed up by internal evidence, as the Margaret Wood of whom I an speaking had a father named Jonas, and Margaret had a son named Jonas.
Furthermore, Joseph Searing died leaving a will which proved he had NO DAUGHTER NAMED MARGARET. Nor did I find any other Searing wills that mentioned a Margaret.
A Mrs. Fratt, a volunteer of the Genealogical Society of the West Fields in New Jersey, was the kind person who called our attention to the fact that a Jonas Wood-- who had property adjoining that of Recompense Stanbery--mentioned an unmarried daughter Margaret in his will of 1745. Mrs. Fratt suggested that the name "Jonas" was at least "provocative" in view of the fact that Margaret named a son Jonas.
I had noticed in Rev. Hatfield's History of Elizabet, NJ that a Jonas wood was one of the original "Associates" of Elizabeth. I knew there had to be a relationship because the name Jonas had been used widely in the Stanbery family--but where did the Woods fit in: as ancestors of Sarah, wife of Recompense Sr. or of Margaret, wife of Recompense Jr? The clue should have been, had I been perceptive enough to register the fact, that the name Jonas didn't appear in the Stanbery family until Recompense Jr. married Margaret!
Jonas Wood died in April 1745, leaving wife, Mary, a son Samuel, married daughters Anna and Phebe, and unmarried daughters Margaret and Sarah. He mentions property lying adjacent to that of Recompense Jr.
Joseph Morss (Morse/Morris)Will dated 16 March 1726/7, proved 28 July 1729, names in his will not only his surviving children but also his grandchildren born to date. Among these are Mary (Morss), wife of Jonas Wood, and the mother of Ann, Phebe, Samuel, and Jerimiah Wood. Notice that Margaret Wood is not mentioned because she hasn't been born yet.
Therefore Morss's will proves that Margaret Wood is the correct age to be Mrs. Recompense Stanbery Jr. and there fore must be the same person.
Secondary proof lies in the fact that Margaret gave six of her Stanbery children names that "coincide" with Wood names.
Mary, widow of Jonas Wood, late of Elizabeth, NJ, died in 1747. Her will names only children of a previous marriage (named Winans) and completely ignores the offspring of Jonas Wood. Perhaps Margaret Wood Stanbery didn't get along too well with her step-mother and thus wasn't too keen on the name Mary.
I believe that Mary Morss (Morse/Morris) was the mother of Margaret Wood Stanbery because her son Samuel in later life adopted the name "Morris" for a middle name.
For the above reasons I postulate that the maiden name of Mrs. Recompense Stanbery Jr. of Elizabeth/Scotch Plains NJ was Wood.

"Of his(Recompence) large family; the girls as well as the sons were well educated for the day, and many letters have been kept telling of their experiences during the war years. One daughter, Phebe, married at 15 a young man from Connecticut, Jedediah Swan, who had come to live in Scotch Plains, some years before. He became prosperous, owning land, horses and cattle, which he left in the care of his young wife while he was serving as a captain in the Army. Her letters to him show ability,intelligence and much wit."
" Amos (Swan) had a brother, Jedidiah, and both of them married daughters of Recompence Stanbery II. Jedidiah was a man of some means and importance in the village life and a captain in the Revolutionary War, but although more outstanding than Amos in his day, his day was shorter, for he died childless while Amos gave five children to the world to carry on after his day was over."
Another active captain was Jedediah Swan, already mentioned, who lived west of the Scotch Plains church and organized a company in that vicinity, which, however, also had several men from the present Plainfield, including Peter Covert. This company fought at Long Island, and Recompence Stanbery, the Captain's brother-in-law, was severly wounded there. Stanbery later joined Laing's company and, still later, Capt. Samuel Meeker's Light Horse.

BMW i8 Spyder rendered by Theophilus Chin
Everybody knows Theophilus Chins. After the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, out gifted designer has imagined a couple of upcoming models. The first one is the BMW i8 Spyder. The convertible version of the i8 hybrid sports car will use the same technology and design but it will lose the roof.
The BMW i8 coupe costs 135.000 USD and we think that the upcoming Spyder version will have a price tag of 150.000 US Dollars. Under the hood there will be the same hybrid power train that will come with a 1.5 liter three cylinder petrol unit with 231 horsepower and 320 Nm peek of torque.
The combustion engine is backed up by an electric one who can offer 131 HP. The total output is 362 HP and 570 Nm peek of torque. The BMW i8 can sprint from stand still to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, while the convertible version will be able to accelerate to the same speed in 4.5 or 4.6 seconds.
Speaking of performances, the coupe is having a fuel consumption of approximately 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers and it manages to run in electric mode for 35 kilometers.

One reason might be that the subjects included in the training data set are not representative for the Norwegian population. For a border control application it would be essential that the face recognition algorithms be trained with a representative data set. This raises a new research question: is it possible to create a training set that will be representative for the whole world? If not, then the face recognition system used in border control might be population dependent: people who do not belong to the target population, from which the training data set is selected, will probably generate higher number of false acceptances compared to people who belong to the target population.
