Yooper Greenaways
Posted on 24-November-2015 by Steve
According to Lois Haglund (my step third cousin-in-law once removed — see her blog here) people who live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the USA are called Yoopers. I've just discovered some Greenaway relations who were Yoopers, at least for a while.
My great grandmother was Elizabeth Greenaway who married William Mathew Growdon, and they came to the Cape Colony in the 1870s, where he was a platelayer on the Cape Government Railways. That was just after the discovery of diamonds in Kimberley, and there was a rush to build a railway line from every port to the interior.
Elizabeth Greenaway had an uncle, Thomas Greenaway. who emigrated about the same time to the USA, to Quincy, Houghton County, Michigan. There's another Quincy in Michigan, so the county name is important, and if you Google for Quincy, Michigan, it will show you the wrong one, in Branch County, right at the other end of the state. In fact it seems that almost every one of the United States has a Quincy, and Michigan has two.
Quincy Mine
What seems to have drawn the Greenaway family to Michigan was the Quincy copper mine.
Thomas Greenaway was born in 1829 in St Breward, Cornwall, where he became a quarry labourer. He married Margaretta Bone in 1851, and, according to the 1900 US Cenus, they had 9 children, of whom only 2 were still alive in 1900. We only have a record of the names of 5 of the children, and one of those died young.
In the 1860s the family moved to Gwennap, Cornwall, where Thomas worked as a tin miner, and in the early 1870s the family emigrated to the USA, and he was a miner at Quincy in the 1880 US Census. In 1880 their daughter Mary (a widow at age 19) was living with them, as was their daughter Maggie (10). Also living in Quincy was their son Richard John Greenaway, who had just married Polly Kinsman, and they were staying with her parents. They were also miners.
It is said that Gwennap produced more emigrants than any other town in Cornwall, and so it is possible that several people emigrated together to Quincy.
The Greenaways did not stay Yoopers for long, however, because by the 1900 census they were in Braceville, Illinois, a coal mining town. Thomas had retired by then, as he is shown on the census with no occupation. His son Richard John was also there, still a miner, with his wife and two adopted daughters.
Unfortunately the 1890 US Census didn't survive, so we have not been able to see what happened in between. In 1900 their daughter Mary would have been 39; did she marry again? The youngest daughter, Maggie (Elizabeth Margaret) would have been 30 — did she marry and have children? We haven't been able to find out.
The move to Braceville was perhaps not a wise one, as we can discover from this site.
Braceville thrived until the summer of 1910 when the miners of the Braceville Coal Company went on strike. Fed up with the whole affair, the coal company simply closed and within just a few months the town was all but abandoned leaving behind an opera house, a large frame school and many empty businesses. Of these today, there is no sign other than a few slag heaps along the old highway.
Did the Greenaways stay, or did they move on again? Did they leave any descendants in any of the places where they lived, so that there might be cousins living there today? We don't know.

UK Trip 5 May 2005: Cornwall
Posted on 5-May-2015 by Steve
Continued from Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
We had breakfast at 7:00 am, and by 8:00 set off to explore the Bodmin Moor villages where some of my ancestors had lived. We went first to Cardinham, where William Growden and Elizabeth Sandercock had
got married in 1792, and the first of their children were born. Just over the road from the church was the village hall, where they were setting up the polling station for the general election.

The grass in the churchyard was dewy, but we found a number of tombstones of Sandercock and related families, and took photos of them with the digital camera and also of the interior of the church, where the pews were very ancient indeed, and it was quite a thought that ancestral bums had sat upon those pews.
St Meubred's Church, Cardinham, where William Growden and Elizabeth Sandercock were married in 1792.
The Sandercock family went quite a way back in Cardinham, but William Growden appeared from nowhere, and we have not been able to find where he was born or who his parents were. You can see more about the church and these families here, and the gravestone of the earliest Sandercocks is here. The church is also known for its Celtic style wheel-headed crosses, which are said to be the oldest in the area.

If you are reading this because you are interested in family history, and would like to learn more about these families and discuss them with others, you can find a discussion forum for the Growden family here, and one for the Sandercock family here.
Carvings at the end of one of the pews in St Meubred's Church, Cardinham, where ancestral bums had sat. Each pew seemed to have a different carving.
From Cardinham we drove in to Bodmin, about 6 km away, and bought some more detailed Ordnance Survey maps, and then went to take some photos of the Growden family home at 3 Higher Bore Street, where the Growden family was living in 1861. My great grandfather, William Matthew Growden, was ten years old when they were living there. His father, Matthew Growden, was shown in the census as an agricultural labourer. His mother was Christiana Dyer, originally from Roche in Cornwall.
We also went to Scarlett's Well, not far away, where my great grandfather, William Matthew Growden, was born in 1851. It was very interesting, as the well was a holy well, reputed to have healing powers.
Scarlett's Well, Bodmin, Cornwall. 5 May 2005
Next to it was a cottage that could well have been where the family lived, because it was the only dwelling in the vicinity. Though there had been some modern additions, the basic house looked very old, and it also made sense of Matthew Growden's occupation as a "woodman", someone who took care of the woods on the land. For more pictures of the area, including the cottage and William Matthew Growdon, see here.
We went on to Penpillick, near Tywardreath, whiere my grandfather, William George Growdon, had been born, and seeing an advertisement for cream teas went to a farmhouse and had some, but like so many other such places, the people were not Cornish, but had moved here from elsewhere a few years ago. They had a nice smooth dog, called Manic Mabel. We took some photos of the parish church in Tywardreath, but did not stay very long, because the family had not lived there very long either. We went to Par to look at the beach, and drove East along the the south Cornwall coast towards Fowey.
South Cornwall coast near Par. 5 May 2005
There was a footpath along the coast, but we did not walk along it, as we did not have enough time. If we ever win the Lotto and can afford to have a return visit it might be fun to do that. We turned inland at Fowey, and drove through Lostwithiel and St Neot. St Neot was where another Growden family had lived, though we have not found any link between it and ours. From there we went past the Dozmary Pool, where King Arthur's sword was supposed to have been thrown after his death. It did not look much different from the Colliston Lake on the other side of the road.

It was lunch time, and we went to Jamaica Inn nearby, but it looked too touristy, and very crowded. It was on the A30, the main road through the area, and it looked as if every passer-by had had the same idea. Instead we went to look at the parish of Temple, where Mary Ann Tilly had come from. She was my great great grandmother, and had married Richard Greenaway of St Breward, and their daughter Elizabeth Greenaway had married William Matthew Growdon.
Temple Church, Cornwall, 5 May 2005.
Temple was a tiny village, but there were lots of cars there, and at first we thought that the entire population had come to vote all at once, but then we saw strangely dressed people, looking like druids or something, though some were dressed as friars or knights in suits of armour. They seemed to be coming up from the church, and it turned out to be a medieval wedding, and we spoke to some of the guests.

We then drove to St Breward, thinking to have lunch at the pub there. We drove across Bodmin Moor from Temple, and the road was on the surface instead of in a sunken lane, so one could see the horizon, and there were ponies that appeared to be wild wandering about on the moor.
Ponies on Bodmin Moor
It was 2:30 by the time we got to St Breward, and they stopped serving food after 2:00 pm, so we went back to Bodmin, to Weaver's tea room, over the road from the Weaver's bar where we had eaten the previous evening, and there at last they did have Cornish pasties on the menu. The woman running the place was from North London, however. There don't seem to be any Cornish people around. She said she worked part time, and lived in Blisland, near where we were staying, and she said there were still some Greenaway families in the village.
Bodmin, Cornwall, 5 May 2005
We walked around the churchyard of St Petroc's, where all the tombstones had been placed around the
walls, but there were no Growden ones. The church was closed at 3:00 pm. Though it was supposed to be western Ascension Day, there didn't seem to be any services at any of the churches we had visited. There was a museum with exibits showing the history of Bodmin, and and we went up to The Beacon, a hill with views all around, but the day wasn't clear enough to see very much. There was also an obelisk, a memorial to Sir Walter Raleigh, on top of the hill.
St Breward Church and pub. 5 May 2005
We returned to St Breward, and wandered round the churchyard, taking pictures of tombstones, as there were several Greenaway ones, some quite recent, and had supper of sausage egg and chips at the pub, which was quite good. The sausages were real, and not like the bread-filled Walls sausages that were all one could get in England 40 years before.
Val Hayes in St Breward churchyard, 5 May 2005
We went down to Blisland again, and went to the church there, and took more photos in the churchyard, where the old school was being used as a polling station. Then went to the pub which was quite crowded, and had a beer, and were joined by a couple who had been at the medieval wedding at Temple, Martin and Bemi Murphy, and chatted to them for a while. They were originally from Manchester, but now lived at St Ives, where they ran an ice cream van, and they had made most of the costumes for the wedding.
Blisland Parish Church, 5 May 2005
When we got back to Trewint farm we went to bed, and watched TV for a while, when the first election result was announced, which was Sunderland South, which Labour held with a reduced majority.
Continued at Cornwall to Morgannwg, 6 May 2005.

Tombstone Tuesday: Growdon, Queenstown, Eastern Cape
Posted on 16-October-2012 by Steve
Having just written a blog post about my great grandfather, William Matthew Growdon (or Growden), it seems appropriate to include a closer view of his tombstone in Queenstown Cemetery.
William Matthew Growdon's grave in Queenstown Cemetery, Eastern Cape
His wife Elizabeth Growdon (born Greenaway) died some 14 years later, and was buried next to him. She was born in St Breward, Cornwall. Her brother William Greenaway also came to South Africa.

When we first visited the cemetery in 1975, we found the graves quite easily. We took black & white photos then. In 2011 we visited again, and had some difficulty in finding them. Memory seems to play strange tricks. We took a number of colour photos this time, and also noticed that several of the graves nearby had been vandalised. We took some photos to show the graves in relation to surrounding graves, to make them easier to find next time (if there is a next time).

No, not that Susan!
The one I'm looking for is my great grand aunt, Susan Greenaway, who was born at Lanteglos-by-Camelford in 1844, and yesterday I confirmed the relationship when I found the baptism record for Susanna Greenaway, baptised on 26 January 1845, the daughter of Richard and Mary Ann Greenaway.
I needed the confirmation because I couldn't find a census where she showed up with the family.
I first found her in the 1851 census, aged 6, where she was listed as the niece of William and Mary Tilley. The 1841 census shows a William and Mary Tilley, children of John. Then Mary Ann Tilly, daughter of John, married Richard Greenaway at St Breward in 1842. So the baptism is pretty convincing evidence that 6-year-old Susan is the daughter of Richard and Mary Ann Greenaway (nee Tilly), and that William Tilley is Mary Ann's brother.
In the 1861 Susan Greenaway shows up again, but still not with her family. This time she's a servant with another family.
But there are TWO of them, both shown as born at St Breward!
And FreeBMD shows:
Births Dec 1843 (>99%)
Greenaway Susan Camelford 9 56
Births Mar 1845 (>99%)
GREENAWAY Susanna Camelford 9 57
Well, St Breward is in the Camelford Registration District, as is Lanteglos. And by then the rest of the Greenaway family was living at St Breward anyway, so her boss could easily assume that she was born there and tell the census enumerator so.
But that raises another question — if there were two Susans in 1861, where was the other one in 1851?
And in 1871 there were none.
The simplest explanation for that is that the must either have married or died between 1861 and 1871.
But there were no Susan Greenaways who married or died in that time. Nor were there any under the alternative spelling of Greenway.
But there was a Susan Greenway, aged 26, a cook in the household of a Fanny Little at Maker in Cornwall. And this Susan was shown as having been born at Nantaglas, which could be the census enumerator's interpretation of Lanteglos.
And that is the last sighting of Susan Greenaway.
But there is a follow-up.
In the 1881 census Mary Ann Greenaway, born Tilly, is shown as a widow, aged 63, living at East Stonehouse in Devon. With her are her youngest daughter Rebecca, unmarried, aged 21, and a granddaughter, Ellen L. Chapman, aged 6, born in Bodmin, Cornwall.
Could Susan Greenaway have married a Chapman and lived in Bodmin?
But there's no sign of such a marriage.
And there's no sign of an Ellen Chapman, aged 16, in the 1891 census either.
So I'm wondering what happened to them.

Tombstone Tuesday: Greenaway in St Breward
Posted on 29-September-2009 by Steve
Though our Greenaway family lived at St Breward in Cornwall (and in nearby Blisland), we are not sure of the link between this George Greenaway and our family.
Grave of George Greenaway in St Breward Churchyard
We are not sure whoch of two George Greenaways this one might be, because there were at least two George Greenaways born around 1834.
One was born at Cardinham, son of Thomas Greenaway and Elizabeth Pearse, married Mary Jane and had nine children, the youngest, Horace Oscar Greenaway, being born at St Breward shortly after this George Greenaway died, so that makes it seem likely that his father is the one buried here.
The other George Greenaway was also born at Cardinham, the son of George Greenaway and Marianne Matthews, and is related to us (the elder George Greenaway was born at St Breward too), though we don't know who this George Greenaway married, or where he lived. He was the right age ot have died in 1883, but the other George seems more likely to be the one buried in the grave.
Does anyone have any more information about these families?

Greenaway and Michell additions
Posted on 17-February-2009 by Steve
I was looking in search engines for the Greenaway family and came across a new cousin, I think.
My 3 great grandparents were Richard Greenaway and Mary Michell, who lived on Bodmin Moor (mostly in the adjacent villages of Blisland and St Breward). So when I came across a web site that had both names, I looked more closely, and found that Muriel Trendell was indeed researching the same families as me, and had taken my family tree back a couple of generations back on the Michell side, adding Lego and Gelly branches to my family tree, which I had not known about before.
That was quite exciting, and finding new cousins is always interesting. But some family mysteries remain.
Muriel's web side shows a Caroline Greenaway, born 1814, as a daughter of Richard Greenaway and Mary Michell. There is a Caroline, aged 26, staying with the Greenaway family in St Breward in the 1841 census. That census unfortunately does not show relationships in the household, but it looks as though she was more likely to have been a niece or some other relation. There was also a baby, apparently hers, named Reynold Greenaway. The only likely candidate on Free BMD seems to be a William Reginald Renney Greenaway, born at about the right time.
In the same census and in the same household there are a Thomas, aged 12, and a George, aged 6. Trying to find their families in subsequent censuses and other records is not easy, however. It appears that there were two Thomases born in St Breward about the right time, neither of whom was baptised there.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in these families, and trying to solve some of these mysteries, please get in touch.

More research in Pietermaritzburg
Posted on 22-August-2008 by Steve
On Wednesday evening we went to see the play Cabaret at the Hexagon theatre at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (see review in previous entry). It was very good, set in the declining years of the Weimar Republic in Germany, when the Nazis were growing stronger, and the atmosphere of menace was conveyed very well, as well as the way people retreated into vacuous entertainment in order to avoid having to confront it.
Yesterday we went back to the archives about 9:30, and only ordered a few items, where we knew we would get more information. We found a few more descendants on the Greenaway side — girls who had married a Crawley and a Klusener (but the famous cricketer Lance Klusener doesn't seem to be related). We also found more information on the Davis family (related on the Cottam side), and the Beningfield, Raw and Hickman families.
Aberfeldy B&B in Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg, where we have been staying the last few days
Then went to the Masters office, parking in Burger Street. It was very different to what it had been when we had been before. They were registering estates at a table outside on the verandah and seemed much busier than in previous years. Also, they did not have more of the files we were looking for, which are apparently now stored in Pinetown, and have to be ordered a couple of days in advance, and as we were leaving tomorrow. It had previously been a rather sleepy place, frequented mainly by lawyers clerks. There was one there, ernestly evangelising another bloke who had come in and asking him if he knew what would happen if he died. We looked only at the estate of Moira Bessie Winship, and one of the staff watched me while I did it — perhaps they've had problems in the past with people nicking stuff from the files. There were pamphlets explaining the work of the Masters office in Zulu, and so it seems that they have greatly expanded their clientele. In the past most of the deaths reported there were of whites and relatively rich Indians and blacks, so they are probably handling much more work than they did previously. It will probably increase even more in the future, as people discover the advantage of using the Masters Office to avoid inheritance disputes.
Val Hayes, Pat & Jennifer McKenzie
In the evening we went to dinner with old friends Pat and Jennifer McKenzie. Pat cooked a traditional meal of roast chicken and vegetables, and we talking mainly about family history and its intersection with general history. One of Jennifer's ancestors was a Truter, who had been the first Afrikaner knighted by the British, but another relative told them not to be proud of him, as he used his position as judge to plunder the Masters office. We talked about corruption in the civil service, which was as widespread under the Nats as it
is now, but they were better at covering it up, because they weren't hampered by a free press.
Today we leave Pietermaritzburg and we are going on to Margate for a week. One of Val's colleagues at work won a week as a prize in a competition, but could not use it, so gave it to us.

Links">Jennifer Lopez was the first Latin artist to win MTV's Video Vanguard Award in the VMAs last year, and it got us thinking about the rest of the musicians to get the honour over the years. The Vanguard was created in 1984 and renamed after the legendary Links">Michael Jackson at 1991; it recognizes artists' overall achievements in music and film, also there were actually two inaugural winners: David Bowie and The Beatles.
While there's been lots of disagreement over who probably should possess a Vanguard celebrity but doesn't – *cough* Missy"Misdemeanor" Elliott *cough* – it does not get awarded annually and has sometimes been awarded as a life achievement award instead. My favorite thing about the Vanguard Award is seeing the way the artists celebrate and take them. Beyoncé damn close performed her complete self-titled record ; Links">Kanye West damn near ran for US president Links">Justin Timberlake damn near resurrected *NSYNC in the deceased ; along with Links">Lady Gaga had me damn close throwing wine at the TV if she presented Britney Spears having an award while dressed as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone. Why that happened, I'll never understand.

The Magic Lantern Is Switched Off / Yoani Sanchez
Robert is closing down his 3D movie business. He has put a price on the projector, the glasses, and even the popcorn machine. He was only three months into the business knows he can't recover his investment. A briefing note in the official Cuban press ended his entrepreneurial plans. He was forces to close the same week he had planned to start showing children's movies in his air-conditioned room with cushy armchairs.
Of the more than 442,000 self-employed workers in this country, a good share of them have been affected in recent weeks by new legal restrictions. The Granma newspaper announced the immediate closing of the private movie and videogame rooms, suggesting that these had never been permitted.
Certainly the list of the more than 201 private licenses don't include film projection, nor computer rooms devoted to entertainment. However, entrepreneurs have taken advantage of a small crack in the law, to operate. In a short time, these "neighborhood theaters" began to appear all over the country, some luxuriously appointed, some very modest.
Perhaps something that annoyed the State is that the three-dimensional projectors were introduced to the country by private hands. Or that the once powerful Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) saw that some small businesses got ahead of them on implementing such a new technology. The State apparatus sees itself threatened with losing the monopoly over the broadcast of audiovisual and places where it happens.
On the other hand, the private 3D rooms brought a lot of people back to the idea of neighborhood movie theaters. For example, in mid-20th century Havana, including the municipalities of Regla, Guanabacoa and Marianao, was host to 134 movie theaters. Some of them with between 1,000 and 2,500 seats, including lower level and balcony. The main ones came to have even as many 5,000 seats, like the Payret, the Radio Central (currently the Yara), the Metropolitan, the Blanquita (today the Karl Marx).
Of these, only 12 theaters remain active, largely in the most central parts of the city. The concept of nearby and intimate space, where you could go most Sundays, is unknown to Cubans under 30. So this opening of movie rooms by the self-employed, awakened memories in some and surprised others.
The programming of these new spaces, was based primarily on action, horror and animated movies. Halloween night, 48 hours before the ban that would close them, the 3D film rooms showed a wide range of "nightmare" movies. It was an advance premonition to what their owners would experience two days later. Spiderman, Avatar and Jack and the Giants were some of the productions that paraded across the private screens. Entertaining movies with no major artistic flights, but very popular among Cuban youth and children.
At the last congress of the government-sponsored Hermanos Saíz Assocation — an organization of young artists — one of the most striking approaches was their coming out against movies promoted by the private cinemas that are "frivolous, banal and consumerists." We must "return to the principles of the cultural policy of the Revolution," some cries. It was only a matter of time before the government ban would fall in the private theaters. Because it was known that the Cuban government, given a choice between extending the limits of the current legality, or maintaining it despite the reality, I would opt for the second.
Fear of independent dissemination of information, a political strenght-testing gesture, a backward step in the economic reforms. All this and more is hidden behind the new restrictions against 3D movies and videogames. However, it's difficult to control a phenomenon that has gained so much popularity and whose technological infrastructure is already in the hands of so many Cubans.
Many, unlike Roberto who is unloading his equipment, plan to continue underground. The magic lantern will shine again behind closed doors, more discreetly, without neon signs, and without the aroma of popcorn escaping from the room.

The markets have been tough with us – Altcoins are falling and falling. Does it even still make sense to trade them? We think yes in multiple ways and one of our recommended Crypto Signal Providers has a proven track record to pick the very few gainers in this red days. No shorting, no leverage trading, just solid classic altcoin gains like back in the days. I am speaking of Infocrypto, one of the most undervalued services around, maybe they are just too cheap to be taken serious – sad, but this is how we tick sometimes. Members of their premium channel had been warned about the massive incoming drop last night a few days before and – again – their analysis has been spot on. Let's have word with them and get a clue about their magic! And maybe we are lucky and Lalo from Infocrypto shares his long-term gems with us!
Smartoptions.io: You managed it to make some serious profits – even in this bear market. How do you manage it to select the coins/tokens which are not a falling knife? What is the secret behind infocrypto?
InfoCrypto: Yes that is true, we had a good accuracy on the coins that had already made their bottom in 2016-2017, however in most of the new coins (on Binance), they didn't make the bottom yet, we analyzed some supports that we considered that could hold but they failed, so we decided to follow the trend and let it flow, when they showed some reversal patterns, we got back in the game.
The secret of infocrypto is very simple, we live and depend exclusively on this market. All our strength, commitment, and dedication are focused on the Crypto Market.
Smartoptions.io: You guys present definitely the most frequent updates on Bitcoin and it is most often spot on. How do you profit on your Bitcoin analysis? By scaling in and out or more leveraged trades on Bitmex?
InfoCrypto: We are always on the lookout for Bitcoin's intraday movements, this helps us to identify the best moment to send signals in the altcoins too because as everyone is tired of knowing it, they depend a lot on Bitcoin.
In terms of our own trades, we like to diversify our strategies, we have seen that in the long run, it is the best option, so we apply a part in altcoins, another part doing leveraged trades (low leverage) in Bitmex, and also accumulating more BTC trying to sell tops and repurchasing funds in the SPOT market. Our main goal is to accumulate more and more BTC.
InfoCrypto: The most important thing to know is that there is no easy money, even with all our help and direction, you need to be aware of the market, and know at least the basics of technical analysis in order to make safer decisions based on our analysis. The market for crypto-coins changes very quickly, good or bad news can change the whole scenario.
I think every analyst does not like to be pressured by their customers to have calls on days when the market is not giving us the confidence to operate. They have to understand that a few well-executed trades are better than sending out signals that are risky and can bring them loss, just to please them.
InfoCrypto: I started trading Forex as an investor in 2004 trusting a group of trades, and I ended up losing a lot of money, finding out later that it was a financial pyramid, I lost all my investment. So in 2006, I started to study technical analysis and to operate in the market in the free hours. In 2011 I heard about bitcoin, but it was very superficial, but in 2013 I actually get to know bitcoin and it was when I woke up and saw this new and fantastic world.
InfoCrypto: The crypto ecosystem is the future. I've been saying this for 5 years now: "If your business is not on the internet and it's not on the mobile, it's bankrupt in the near future". Today we can add in the phrase bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain. This is the fourth industrial revolution, we will get along very well.
The bubble is a pessimistic thought that follows in the human mind for many years, mainly connected to the financial market. In discovering the new of the revolutionary we seek to compare with the past, and we try to project a future that will not exist.
Everything in life is constantly changing, nothing is permanent, the global financial system is paralyzed without changes, centralized, closed and without technology. Cyberpunk movements are increasing, the old system will not survive, the new generations are waking up, coming out of the box, out of the matrix, we want freedom, we want blockchain and crypto.
InfoCrypto: We have some long-term coins that we like and see big potential for the long run, besides Bitcoin that represents 50% of our long term holdings, we like BNB, ENJ, ICX, NEO, DCR, XZT and also a Brazilian project called Lunes (LNS) that we are very close to their team and follow up their evolution very close.
But is good to remember that this is OUR opinion, never make any investment before doing your own research.
Smartoptions.io: Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions!
Hey Steve. About to sign up with the other recommendation and saw this.
So what's your first try suggestion?
I suggest using the decision bot within the post. Both of them made good gains in this bear phase, Cryptoaddicts used much more trades to achieve similar results.
Infocrypto is a bit more technical and in-depth when it comes to the Bitcoin updates, CryptoAddicts is more newbie friendly – it really depends what you are after!
We are about to release a results post where we compare the performance of all listed channels, maybe you want until we finished our work and make your decision then. Best of luck choosing the right one for you!


There are hundreds (if not thousands) of posts on the subject of valuation, specifically related to tech companies given the hype surrounding recent valuations and acquisitions that we are seeing in this space, and the fact that there are no real assets involved in these businesses and a lot of the emphasis is on the future potential. There are also several methodologies that one can use to conduct a valuation, including the Discounted Cash Flow method (DCF), Comparables method and The Berkus Method (and many more). Here, I've tried to simplify the process into six key steps that should give entrepreneurs a good idea of how to look at valuing their startup when trying to raise funds.
The Total Addressable Market (TAM) provides an indicator of the potential size of the business in the future, and is something that we look at in detail when we invest in startups. We always look for bottom-up sizing, rather than top-down because it provides a much more realistic and measurable indicator of size. An example of a top-down analysis is: the size of food and beverage spend in MENA is US$10bn and if I can capture 2% of that market, my business can reach $200m in sales. As you can see, it's very subjective and macro in nature, without going into the actual market that one can sell to. An example of a bottom-up analysis is: if I am selling real estate listings to brokers and there are a total of 10,000 real estate brokers in my market, of which 1,000 real estate brokers are sellable, where I can charge them $1000/month, then my addressable market is $12m.
It's clearer and more measurable in description, and it provides a realistic estimate of what your business can generate "if all goes to plan." Once you've identified the TAM and with that, the potential size of the business, you are on your way to building the foundation of your valuation.
When looking for comparable companies, they do not have to be in the exact same sector. What's important is that they possess a similar business model to the company you are building. For example, if you are building a software-as-a-service business, then it would be useful to look at companies such as OpenTable, Sales Force, Dropbox, Box and others. You need to look for data related to sales, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and valuations -or market capitalization/enterprise value if you are looking at public companies- of public or private companies. Typically, early stage companies are loss-making, and so sales can be used as a proxy even though it's not a real driver of value (compared to EBITDA, given that EBITDA is a closer proxy to cash flows and inherent value). The next step would be to take an average of the Price/ Sales or EV/Sales, and EV/EBITDA ratios for those companies, and attach a discount rate to account for the liquidity risk, market risk and other factors related to the market you're in. For MENA, at least a 30% discount rate is appropriate. You will then arrive at your multiple, which will be important when assessing the valuation.
The idea here is to determine projections of your business over a five to seven year period. We like longer horizons at BECO, given that we are a holding company, not a fund, and therefore do not have a finite life. Your projections should have already been built ahead of this exercise. The important thing is to understand how big the business can be, both in terms of sales and EBITDA (since as the company matures, it should become profitable and reach somewhat stable margins).
Develop at least three different scenarios for these projections- we call them "Poor," "Good," "Great," and sometimes we include a "Home run" scenario. These different scenarios allow you to account for execution risk and potential issues with market-uptake or other things that can impact the growth of the business, and therefore the overall outcome. Once the projections are complete, the next step is to use the sales and/or EBITDA figures and attach the multiple created in the previous step to come up with valuation scenarios. For example, in the "Good" scenario, your company will generate $20m in year six, and companies similar to yours trade at 5x sales. If you apply a discount rate of 30%, you will have an average ratio of 3.5x sales, and therefore a valuation of $70m.
With these expectations, and the previous steps complete, we have created all the variables required for us to reach an indicative range on valuation.
When looking to invest in a startup, the first thing we do is build a capitalization table, which shows the different funding rounds that have been raised by the business, the investment and the number of shares (with percentages) owned by each shareholder. Once the historical cap table is built, and you've reached the current shareholding, you need to insert the new funds required and provide an assumption for the valuation. This should help generate a price per share for investors. Once we have established a working model, we would then make an assumption on the number and sizes of the future rounds required (since we invest early, there is likely to be a further two or three rounds of funding). The future rounds, if all goes well, will be done at higher valuations, but will also dilute all shareholders including the investor. When we invest, we assume that we would at least participate on a pro-rata basis (meaning we would invest the required amount that will keep our shareholding at the same level).
As a rule of thumb, entrepreneurs should give up anywhere between 15% and 33% in the earlier rounds of funding (15% is just enough to give investors skin in the game, and 33% can indicate that the entrepreneur is not that excited about his/her business because they're giving up a significant chunk).
So now we have our model, with expectations of the future size of the business and implications on future rounds to the investor's shareholding. The next step is to link the two together. The idea here is to pick a valuation scenario, typically the "Good" scenario, and then projection the investors shareholding of that valuation (after the future funding rounds and dilution). So, if you are looking for $1m in funding at the late seed stage, we would need to get $10m in the next six years. If your business is going to reach $70m, but requires two rounds, with each diluting the investor's shareholding by 20%, the investor requires ca. 14% upon exit in order to generate $10m. The cap table will allow you to project the dilution and impact of future rounds. Therefore, if you know you have two rounds with 20% dilution, and you work back to the existing round to set the shareholding that ends up with 14% after the future funding, the result is ca. 20%, implying a pre-money valuation of ca. $4m and post-money of $5m.
In truth, we care about valuation, but we care more about execution. We love backing entrepreneurs that can demonstrate real passion, desire, ambition, experience and domain expertise that give us the belief that they can build large and successful ventures.

Tag: Park Güell
Although Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece undoubtedly is La Sagrada Família, Barcelona's best-known architect left indelible marks throughout his hometown.
Park Güell, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are three more examples of Gaudí's imitable style, each of which attract millions of visitors each year. But you can also see lampposts he designed while you walk along La Rambla and Plaça Reial plaza.
Park Güell a whimsical jewel
Designed as a mountainous retreat for wealthy Barcelona homeowners, Park Güell was a bust as a housing development. The property was purchased by the city in 1922 and turned into a public park. Despite the crowds (Park Güell attracts nearly 4 million visitors a year), the attraction is worth a visit.
Timed tickets allow only 300 people to enter every 30 minutes, but visitors tend to wander throughout the park taking selfies and pictures of each other, leading to bottlenecks. These bottlenecks can be frustrating, but there's always a side path you can take to avoid the worst of the crowds.
View of the Porters Lodge at Park Güell, with Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece La Sagrada Família at upper left (under the cranes).
Columns shaped to resemble tree roots support a walkway at Park Güell.
Upon seeing Gaudí's work, one can't escape comparisons to Dr. Seuss, with the undulating railings and benches, supports that look like angled tree trunks with expanding roots and buildings that seem to come straight from fantasy novels.
Three kilometers of trails, several buildings and a proposed marketplace for Park Güell were developed before the project was abandoned. From the main entrance, you encounter twin houses and the porter's lodge without a straight line to be seen. Twin staircases converge on a landing guarded by a colorful lizard.
Further up you'll discover the marketplace, a welcome respite from a hot day as you wander among the 88 oddly angled stone columns supporting a massive roof. Off to one side, tree roots appear to hold up a covered walkway. Look carefully, and you'll see a washerwoman carved into one of the columns. Reaching the top of the enclosed park you'll find a viewing platform with a curvaceous bench running along its edge where visitors line up for photographs. From there you'll get a great overview of the park, the city in the middle distance and the Mediterranean Sea beyond.
Even more to see
Outside the park itself you'll find Casa-Museu Gaudí, where the architect lived for the two decades preceding his death. The museum also features furniture that he designed. The surrounding park is tree-lined and very hilly, but it provides more city views and a respite from the worst of the crowds.
Gaudi did not believe in straight lines, taking every chance to bend and swirl what nearly all considered to solid objects and surfaces.
Residents of Casa Batlló would have felt they were living in a fantasy world as they opened oddly shaped doors with raised designs and walked along hallways that felt more like narrow tunnels.
Casa Batlló is a residential building in the L'Eixample district that Gaudí redeveloped during the same period as Park Güell. The façade recalls Saint George and the Dragon, a motif that repeats in the interior and on the roof. I defy you to find a straight line in a window, door or hallway. Residents would have felt they were living in a fantasy world as they opened oddly shaped doors with raised designs and walked along hallways that felt more like narrow tunnels.
After La Sagrada Família and Park Güell, though, Casa Batlló was a bit of the letdown. If we hadn't already seen the other attractions, we would have been more impressed. It doesn't help that the same number (if not more) people cram into this residential building as explore a 13,000-seat basilica each year. And it cost more to visit Casa Batlló than the other attractions. Kinda like charging the sardine to be put in the can, I say.
La Pedrera, designed by Gaudí as an office/apartment block, was similarly expensive, so we took pictures of the façade and went about our day.

Macular cyst, retinal hole, retinal tear, and retinal perforation.
A macular hole is a small break in the macula, located in the center of the eyr's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail.
However, if the vitreous is firmly attached tothe retina when it pulls away, it can tear the retina and create a macular hole. Also, once the vitreous has pulled away from the surface of the retina, some of the fibers can remain on the retinal surface and contract. This increases tension on the retina and can lead to a macular hole. In either case, the fluid that has replaced the shrunken vitreous can seep through the hole in the macula, blurring and distorting central vision.
Foveal detachments (Stage I): Without treatment, about half of Stage I macular holes will progress.
Partial-thickness holes (Stage II): Without treatment, about 70 percent of Stage II macular holes will progress.
The size of the hole and its location on the retina, determine how much it will affect a person's vision. When a Stage III macular hole develops, most central and detailed vision can be lost. If left untreated, a macular hole can lead to a detached retina, a sight-threatening condition that should receive immediate medical attentions.
Although some macular holes can seal themselves and require no treatment, surgery is necessary in many cases to help improve vision. In this surgical procedure (vitrectomy) the vitreous gel is removed to prevent it from pulling on the retina, and replaced with a bubble containing a mixture of air and gas. The bubble acts as an internal, temporary bandage that holds the edge of the macular hole in place as it heals. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia and often on an out-patient basis.
Following surgery, patients must remain in a face-down position, normally for a day or two, but sometimes for as long as two to three weeks. This postion allows the bubble to press against the macula and be gradually reabsorbed by the eye, sealing the hole. As the bubble is reabsorbed, the vitreous cavity refills with natural eye fluids.
Maintaining a face-down postion is crucial to the success of the surgery. Because this position can be difficult for many people, it is important to discuss this with your doctor before surgery.
The most common risk following macular hole surgery, is an increase in the rate of cataract development. In most patients, a cataract can progress rapidly, and often becomes severe enough to require removal. Other less common complications include infection and retinal detachment, either during surgery or afterward, both of which can be immediately treated.
Vision improvement varies from patient to patient. People that have had a macular hole for less than six months have a better chance of recovering vision, than those who have had one for a longer period. Discuss vision recovery with your doctor before your surgery. Vision recovery can continue for as long as three months after surgery.
What if I cannot remain in a face-down postion after the surgery?
If you cannot remain in a face-down position for the required period after surgery, vision recovery may not be successful. People who are unable to remain in this position for this length of time, may not be good candidates for a vitrectomy. However, there are a number of devices that can make the "face-down" recovery period easier on you. There are also some approaches that can decrease the amount of "face-down" time. Discuss these with your doctor.
If a macular hole exists in one eye, there is a 10-15 percent chance that a macular hole will develop in your other eye, over your lifetime. Your doctor can discuss this with you.
Research studies are being conducted to determine other treatments for macular holes. Currently, the research is looking at using silicon oil to close the macular hole, instead of the gas bubble that is being used now. No definite conclusions have been reached at this time.

Brokers of Record: The Buck Stops With Them
American president Harry S. Truman had a desk sign, measuring 2½" x 13", that read "The buck stops here," which meant responsibility and accountability ultimately rested with the president. In real estate, the buck stops with the broker of record.
All brokerages in Ontario must designate a broker of record, an individual who, above all, ensures that the brokerage and its employees (brokers, salespeople, other persons) comply with the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002, and Regulations (collectively known as REBBA 2002), and standards are maintained.
If the brokerage is a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor must be the broker of record. If the brokerage is a partnership or a corporation, the broker of record is designated by partnership or corporate resolution, respectively. For corporations, the board of directors makes the resolution, and it is signed by the officers with the appropriate signing authority. A copy the resolution must be sent to the RECO registrar.
Partnership and corporation brokerages can also designate an "alternate broker of record" (i.e., another broker as an alternate signing authority to review and sign off on trust and trade transactions when the broker of record is unable to act). Again, this is done via partnership or corporate resolution. The alternate must be approved by the registrar.
Duties of the Broker of Record
• Ensures the brokerage fully complies with REBBA 2002
• Actively participates in the management of the brokerage
• Ensures an adequate level of supervision for brokers, salespeople, and other brokerage employees
• Takes reasonable steps to address failure to comply with REBBA 2002 by all brokerage employees
• Reviews and signs monthly trust account reconciliations and trade record sheets
• Signs brokerage financial statements, as required by the RECO registrar
Duties of the Alternate Signing Authority
The alternate signing authority must review and sign off on the following transactions only during that time when the broker of record is absent or unable to act:
• trust account transactions
• monthly trust account reconciliations
• trade record sheets

BOGURODZICA (Mother of God/Theotokos), Carmen patrium, (Hymn of motherland) is a solemn ornamented setting of the oldest Polish hymn attributed to Saint Adalbert of Prague (955-997) and notated at the beginning of the 15th century. The powerful registration and majestic character of the organ work is inspired by the Grand-Orgue of the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur in Paris.

German IT services provider Materna intelligent passenger solutions (ips) has completed the installation of 16 Air.Go self-service bag-drop kiosks at Montréal-Trudeau Airport, Canada.
The new check-in area aims to enhance the passenger experience by positioning the new units as a self-bag-drop island. The two-step process requires passengers to first print a bag tag at a dedicated check-in terminal before moving directly to the self-bag-drop unit. This helps to reduce waiting lines and decreases processing times by eliminating bottlenecks caused by any issues or slower users.
Passengers are also able to print out their travel documents at home or download them to their mobile device, enabling them to go directly to the bag-drop kiosks. The self-bag-drop system took just 10 weeks to implement and will be supported by Materna ips for the next three years.
In 2017, Materna ips installed 60 self-bag-drop units at Canada's busiest airport – Toronto Pearson International – helping it to deal with the record growth.
Materna will be exhibiting at Passenger Terminal Expo, on March 26, 27 and 28, 2019, in London. Click here to see what they – and other companies – will be presenting.

Trump, Biden neck-and-neck in Georgia, North Carolina: Poll
by Veena September 28, 2020 September 28, 2020 0477
Washington, Sep 28 (IANS) US President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden were neck-and-neck in the swing states of Georgia and North Carolina, according to a new poll.
The CBS/YouGov poll released on Sunday revealed that in Georgia 47 per cent of likely voters support Trump, versus 46 per cent for Biden, The Hill news website reprted.
In North Carolina, 48 per cent of likely voters support the former Vice President, versus 46 per cent for Trump.
In South Carolina however, Trump held a 10-point lead over Biden.
Meanwhile, an NBC News-Marist poll also released Sunday found Biden leading Trump in another two swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan.
In Wisconsin, Biden had the support of 54 per cent voters, while 44 per cent backing the President, The Hill news reported citing the poll as saying.
In Michigan, the Vice President was ahead of Trump by 8 percentage points among likely voters, with 52 per cent backing Biden and 44 per cent supporting the President.
In both states, Biden held an advantage of at least 17 percentage points among likely voters who think he'd better handle the coronavirus pandemic and race relations.
Last week, the CBS News Tracker revealed that the states of Florida and Texas remain tight battlegrounds in the November 3 presidential election, reports Politico news.
It showedthat the current margin in both states is 2 percentage points, with Democratic nominee Joe Biden up by 2 in Florida and President Donald Trump up by 2 in Texas.
In the 2016 election, Trump won both the states.
No Democratic presidential candidate has won Texas since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Also last week, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed Biden ahead of Trump nationally by a margin of 51 per cent to 43 per cent.
In 12 battleground states, including Florida but not Texas, the former Vice President's lead was 51 to 45.
The swing states are Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

A temporary dental crown is an interim, short-term reinstatement taken place in dentistry.
Generally, the temporary dental crown is fashioned via chemical-cure combination, though other systems of constructing dental crowns of aluminum are sporadically used by doctors.
The provisional substance is designed by the dentists to produce a tooth structure which aims to protect the arranged tooth and targets prevention of injury to gums and masks the equipped tooth to a certain point until the concluding restoration is done by the practitioner.
A temporary crown is typically concreted in the desired place with easy-going provisional dental cement, for example Temp-Bond NE. This permits relaxed elimination when appropriate restoration is taking place.
How is the Temporary Crown prepared?
Firstly, it is of utmost importance that an imprint of the readied tooth and contrasting teeth is finished.
Using this imprint, a sticking plaster mould is made ready.
The temporary dental crown is characteristically constructed out of the chemical-cure composition from the sticky plaster mould. Some older practitioners carry out the previously constructed aluminum dental temporary crowns.
After the crown has been prepared, it is paved onto the set tooth with lenient, effortlessly detachable cement.
The patient is then asked to nibble on the temporary crown to make the cement hold in its place.
Surplus cement is detached by the support staff.
The tooth after being crowned prevents the air from getting into the unprotected bare nerves and thus causing no pains to the bare nerves.
The times when the patient's temporary dental crown is on, the doctors advise them to stop flossing their tongues on the zone around the fresh temporary crown. They are further asked to brush as gently as possible and to avoid chewing gums and foods that are hard and sticky in nature.
What to do when your temporary dental crown wears off?
It is common for temporary crowns to get dislocated even before the predicted lifespan. If such a thing happens when the dentist is unavailable, the patient can himself set it back in place by smearing Vaseline or the toothpaste on the insides of the provisional crown and setting it back on that tooth. Biting down the crown is the next step. Once the dentist is available, rush to him as quickly as possible. He will help you in the temporary re-setting of the teeth.
How much does a temporary crown cost?
Usually, the cost involved in the temporary dental crown is counted in the entire price of placing a permanent crown. This is because it is a mere part of the entire process and is not counted separately by the dental surgeons. The cost of a crown is usually around $1,000 - $1,500, but it can be significantly more depending on your location, the experience of the dentist and any additional treatment you might need.
If you want to know more about prices, read our article about dental crown costs here.
How to Save on Dental Crowns?
Discount dental plans offer an easy way to save 20% - 50% on your dental treatment. You only need to show your card at a participating dentist (over 40,000 locations in the US) and you'll pay the reduced rate. No waiting period, no paperwork or claims process.
If you know you need a dental crown, apply for a card here and you'll be able to save a couple of hundred dollars on that single treatment. If you need any additional treatment, your savings will be even larger.

2018 Junior US Mountain Running Team Announced
by Richard Bolt
Category: Mountain Running, USATF, WMRA
Written by Paul Kirsch, Manager, Junior US Mountain Running Team. Paul is also Race Director for the Loon Mountain Race, host of the 2018 USATF Mountain Running Championships in Lincoln, NH.
The 2018 Junior US Mountain Running Team will compete in Canillo, Andorra on Sunday, September 16, at the 34th World Mountain Running Championships. This year's team was selected from a very competitive pool of 50 applicants and features a mixture of team veterans and outstanding high school and collegiate athletes hailing from four states: Arizona, Colorado, Maryland and Utah.
The eight Junior athletes (four men and four women ages 16-19 in the year of competition) will join the Senior Men's and Women's teams that qualified at the USATF Mountain Running Championships at the Loon Mountain Race on July 8, in Lincoln, NH.
The Junior athletes will compete on a 7.3-kilometer mainly uphill course that contains over 570 meters of elevation gain. The U.S. team looks to build on their strong performance from 2017, where the Junior US squad won two individual medals and one team medal.
"The interest in the team and the applicant pool continues to grow," remarked Paul Kirsch, Team Manager for the Junior Team. "We had talented young men and women from 15 different states apply this year. I am really excited to see how the squad fares this year in Andorra."
"It has been so fulfilling to watch this program develop since 2002 — the first year Team USA fielded a junior team at the World Mountain Running Championships," said USATF's mountain ultra trail running chairperson Nancy Hobbs. "The growth we've experienced in terms of applicants has been phenomenal. Add to that the tremendous support from coaches at the high school and collegiate level and there's no doubt the program will continue to thrive. This year's squad shows incredible medal potential and I'm looking forward to cheering on these talented athletes in Andorra."
This year's team includes the following athletes: *
Joslin Blair, 17, Eagle, CO

"I'm so excited to be able to test my running in the mountains of Andorra and honored to be representing the USA on a global level. Not only will I be able to race abroad, but I'll also have the chance to meet athletes from different countries. I can't wait to challenge myself and work with my teammates.

The World Mountain Running Championships is world-class in the purest sense of the word, and the camaraderie mountain running provides makes it the experience of a lifetime. It is my purest joy to run alongside these fine athletes on challenging and marvelously spectacular trails. There is no other sport quite as gratifying as soaring through the mountains!"

This geographic information systems (GIS) model uses land use, road distance, population density, and slope to create a predictive surface for the likelihood of illegal trash dumpsites. Using existing literature, illegal dumpsites are found along roads at the fringes of populated areas in vacant lots and wooded areas. Some sites are found over hillsides where the trash is concealed. Weighting the factors for areas more likely to have dumpsites and combining the layers in a GIS creates a map of areas less likely and more likely to have dumpsites. Westmoreland and York counties are chosen as case studies because of their similar size and demographics. The results of the model accurately predict over 90% of existing dumpsite locations in both counties.

Two things I can't seem to pass up are peanut butter and chocolate. After seeing a recipe over at The Diary of a Real Housewife for Peanut Butter Cup Cookies I melted! Reese's always comes out with holiday versions of peanut butter cups and when we spotted the Valentine Reese's Peanut Butter Cups we grabbed a bag or 2.....ok so more like 3!
We followed The Diary of a Real Housewife's recipe to make our cookies with a few changes. We used regular peanut butter without honey and of course we used the Valentine heart peanut butter cups instead of the mini's. Lastly, we don't own a mini muffin tin so we baked them on a cookie sheet. For the full recipe just click on the links above.
I split the batch by making half with the peanut butter cup and half without. My son's friend happened to be over which worked out great otherwise I might have inhaled even more! The boys seemed to like the plain peanut butter cookies while me, my daughter and husband went for the peanut butter and chocolate!
Either way you make these you will not be disappointed, they are delicious!
They would be great to bake and share with family and friends on Valentine's Day too!
They really were yummy and dangerous, Jennifer - lol!
Stopping by from Sunday's Best linkup. I love chocolate & peanut butter too. These cookies are adorable. I'll be whipping up a batch of these for my little Valentines. Thanks for sharing, and please linkup again.
Thanks for stopping by, Rhonda! They are really delicious and dangerous, lol!!
Oh my! Susen, these look fantastic. You had me at peanut butter. :-)/Thanks again for linking.
Thanks, appreciate you stopping by! They are dangerously delicious!!
Hi, I'm Susen and it's great to meet you!


I trust the insights of Generals Votel and Miller on Afghanistan war progress. They are two of the best officers our nation has ever produced and I have worked beside most of the generals you have heard of since September 11th.
The strategy is having results. As long as we continue to scale down wisely, the Taliban will end up in peace talks that are controlled by the Afghan government. Then their insurgency will fall apart, as they lose their ideological underpinning.
We have fewer folks in Afghanistan than Korea.
If your belief is that we should pull our troops and let the Afghans go it alone…but you aren't calling for all troops to leave Korea, Japan, Italy, Africa, Iraq, Syria, Colombia, and every embassy and advisory position around the globe etc…I have a hard time taking you seriously.
Americans in small bases around the world provide invaluable intelligence, leverage, and advisory capability to keep this world from burning down. We are just one apartment in this global high-rise. If the building catches fire and burns down, we do to.
Choose wisely or get ready the fire trucks ready. Life is full of choices.

Q: Propel - fetchArray or toArray In Doctrine i can use function fetchArray() instead of execute or toArray(). I can't founded equivalent these function for Propel. Is this possible?

A: if you really need array you can always use old Peer API
$criteria = new Criteria();
/* ...setup your criteria... */
$pdoStatement = AuthorPeer::doSelectStmt($criteria);
$array = $pdoStatement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

A: You can call toArray() just after ->find().
Either at once:
$authors = AuthorQuery::create()
  ->limit(5)
  ->find()
  ->toArray();
foreach ($authors as $author) {
  print_r($author);
}

Or in a loop:
$authors = AuthorQuery::create()
  ->limit(5)
  ->find()l
foreach ($authors as $author) {
  print_r($author->toArray());
}

A: You can iterate over a propel result set like you can with an array
$authors = AuthorQuery::create()
  ->limit(5)
  ->find();
foreach ($authors as $author) {
  echo $authors->getFirstName();
}

Q: Do I need to be a Paypal Certified Dev to implement Paypal on my website? I'm actually working for a client. I've succesfully implemented paypal pro on the website and everything is working fine, I believe I followed their process and guidelines to make it work the way they meant.
Thus, I've been reading this webpage to turn the website in procuduction, and somewhere in the policies and guidelines , they say (and it is rule nb 1 !):

To make API calls to the PayPal production servers, you must be a
  registered PayPal Developer and have a PayPal Premier or Business
  Account in good standing.

So ... does that mean that I can't turn it in prod by myself ? I'm not a certified Paypal neither a registered paypal dev.
Please Advice :)
Thanks

A: I 've found out that you simply need to register as a Paypal Developer. It takes a few minutes and its free. You need to sign up with your regular paypal account and then turn it into a developer one( just like Facebook did with their API).
Just click on sign up with paypal and follow the instructions:
https://developer.paypal.com/
I made it that way a few months ago.
Hope that help !

Gareth Barry Delighted with Ross Barkley's Turnaround under Ronald Koeman
Everton midfielder Gareth Barry says that manager Ronald Koeman has been able to get the best out of midfielder Ross Barkley.
The midfielder faced a lot of criticism when the Dutchman took over from Roberto Martinez in the summer. Barkley has been seen as one of the best English talents over the last few years, but his career has failed to take off in the same manner as expected. Upon taking over, Koeman threatened that he would not think twice about dropping the star midfielder if he felt that the player's performances were not up to the mark. There were even occasions whenBarkley had to settle for a place on the bench.

WENGER TESTING GUNNERS' PATIENCE?
Sometimes you wonder if manager Arsene Wenger is no longer bored of this circus of safety of just qualifying for the UEFA Champions League year in, year out.
It gets increasingly depressing for the fans who wish for more and instead of looking out for options hungry enough to get them what they want, they'd rather let go of such ambitions and stick with the devil they know than hop into bed with some unknown angel.

Ahead of his upcoming co-driving duties in the Pirtek Enduro Cup, Tony D'Alberto has confirmed that he is drawing closer to a full-time return to the V8 Supercars Championship.
D'Alberto's eponymous single-car team was forced to close its doors at the end of the 2013 championship season, which was ironically the best of his career. The decision to close came amid a sponsorship crunch which also saw Triple F Racing and one-half of the Lucas Dumbrell Motorsports teams forced to shut down.
All three outfits handed by their Racing Entitlements Contracts to V8 Supercars, which subsequently put the three racing licenses out to tender to return next year's grid to a full field of 28 cars. All interested REC applicants had to submit their expressions of interest to V8 Supercars by 1 August.
With its REC yet to be sold, TDR is understood to have put in an application and can technically reacquire its license to return to the fray – minus a penalty fee to the series – although acceptance of its entry will be subject to being able to demonstrate to the V8 Supercars Board that it has a strong financial package in place to avoid a repeat of its closure.
"We're working very feverishly to get ourselves back into the field again next year," D'Alberto told the Speed Café website.
While declining to go into specifics, it is understood that D'Alberto is well on the path to locking away a sponsorship package and securing a deal to have his TDR entry (if approved) partner with another established team, most likely to be Tekno.
"I'd like to be basically there to just drive the race car and not really be involved in the other sides of the business," he added.
"If we can link up with a team like Tekno, which we've spoken about before, with a really good team-mate I'm sure I'll improve and we'll get better results.
V8s: A return to Pukekohe?


NEW YORK -- After losing starting shortstop Ruben Tejada to a postseason-ending fractured fibula in his right leg, the New York Mets have decided to add 24-year-old shortstop prospect Matt Reynolds to their division series roster.
Reynolds would become the second player in modern history to make his major league debut in the postseason if he appears, joining Mark Kiger with the Oakland Athletics in 2006, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Wilmer Flores is expected to serve as the regular shortstop with Tejada's postseason over.
"Last night's injury is a big dent," manager Terry Collins said. "And I will certainly spend some time with Wilmer tomorrow and let him know that he's proved he can play shortstop at this level, to relax and go out, because he's going to be the guy."
Reynolds, a second-round pick in 2012 out of Arkansas, hit .267 with six homers and 65 RBIs in 445 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. He has not appeared in a game since the 51s' elimination from the playoffs on Sept. 7. Still, the Mets quietly had him travel to the organization's complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida, a week ago in case an instance like Tejada's injury occurred.
Although the Mets had infielders such as Eric Campbell working out in Port St. Lucie, they had nobody experienced at shortstop who could be inserted during a game in the event Flores departed because of injury or in-game maneuvering.
Backup Kelly Johnson started one game at shortstop for the Mets this season, but the Mets preferred someone with more capability at the position.
"No disrespect to Kelly. He's a tremendous utility player," Collins said. "But we just thought, if Matt's going to be the guy, that we are protected at shortstop with a guy who has played a lot of shortstop."
Reynolds, like Flores, is known more for his bat than his range. Still, he has made solid strides during the past couple of seasons in becoming a capable shortstop.
Tejada suffered the fractured leg in Game 2 of the NLDS on a late aggressive slide by Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley in the seventh inning. Major League Baseball is weighing potential discipline against Utley.
