1. Celebrity news is as useful as pregnancy books.
Although I was shocked by the use of the method, some people actually do this, and it is explained in many pregnancy books. After hearing about placenta eating, I had to know more!
Now that the news that Kim Kardashian is having a girl has sunk in, it's time to talk about something else that happened on the season premiere of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Kim announced to her fans that she plans to eat her placenta!
2. Editorializing is standard for this medium.
I've gleamed numerous chatroom discussions online where people discuss how they are having a half a glass of wine as a celebration during pregnancy. Honestly, I never risked even taking a sip of the most diluted Christmas egg nog, and I don't get why anyone would.
I never imagined when I first got pregnant that I would wake up with drool on my face every morning. I was surprised that this was in pregnancy books because it took me by surprise.
Ptyalism affects few pregnant women.
4. Cookies are an essential part of a healthy prenatal diet.
You only need about 300 extra calories.
Finding out that I should only add an additional 300 calories to my diet each day was a huge disappointment. This meant that I could only add an extra two cookies or so to my diet.
You know, instead of some extra protein and vegetables.
When you're pregnant there's actually a condition referred to as pica. It's a type of eating disorder where pregnant woman crave things like dirt, clay, and ice. I thought for quite some time that I might have this because I craved the smell of nail polish and ate a lot of ice. Turns out I just liked the ice because I was always so hot.
Do you like a smell? PICA.
*While I don't expect Yahoo! Voices authors to use PubMed, surely the pregnancy book(s) did not say ALL pregnant women drool ALL the time. A more accurate subhead would be "personal experience trumps conservative phrasing," but that applies to every one of these items.

After years of honing his chops on Beale Street in Memphis, TN, Native Memphian, Patrick Dodd was recently thrust into the national spotlight as a contestant on NBC's The Voice. Viewers loved his signature rasping growl that echoes with soul and heartfelt rocking rhythm that Dodd displayed on stage for a worldwide audience to hear! Viewers cried "Foul" when Dodd was eliminated from the show and demanded he get on the road and tour.
While Patrick's rocking, soul-inflected performance of "Walking in Memphis" hit #22 on the iTunes charts, he has far more musical talent than just his unique vocal quality. Although he belts an impressive note, Dodd is also an accomplished guitar player with an amazing band of Memphis Hit Men that consist of the likes of Al Gamble on B3 Organ, Landon Moore on Bass, and Harry Peel on drums.
Patrick and his band have been influenced by such gifted players as Gregg Allman, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, Gov't Mule and Derek Trucks along with soul icons like Steve Wonder and Ray Charles. The group gets every room moving, from the first note to the final guitar flourishes.
Patrick Dodd debuted in the late 1990's, a young guitar maverick on Beale Street. He quickly became a favorite, but soon opted for early retirement to focus on his young family. A decade passed but the music was still calling him. Blues legend and personal friend, Bobby "Blue" Bland called Dodd to deliver fate's final affirmation, Son, you got an old soul. You just got to let go and play from your heart. Don't worry about finding someone to help you- play from your soul and they will find you." And that they did!!!
With a summer tour being planned and a New CD in the works, the future is looking VERY bright for the Patrick Dodd Band.

Uber is Calling It Up an End on South-East Asia
Once Uber wanted to stretch its service across the globe, but on Monday it integrated to its big strategic list retreats-with a bit motivation from its largest investor these days; the SoftBank. In e-mails that were sent to staff, the CEO of Uber; Dara Khorowshahi told that the company would commingle with its big rival of Southeast Asian, Grab. Uber will be getting a 27.5% stake in the unified firm, 500 staff would be transitioning to Grab, and its customers would be shifting over the apps of Grab.
Not more than two years ago, Uber performed much the similar thing in China, during its time of ceded control over the market to rival, Didi Chuxing. The previous year, it followed suit in the Caucasus and Russia via an amalgamation with the ride-hailing business of Yandex. At the beginning of this year the corporation of the Japanese tech, SoftBank invested around $9.3 billion in Uber and said to the company in focusing on its main market within U.S., Australia, Europe, and Latin America.
Didi and SoftBank are rousingly associating, and past July the two companies invested to Grab $2 billion. Now Uber is operating over to Grab in countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar, and Vietnam.
To the staffers, Khosrowshahi wrote in his massive that after the investment of $700 million in the region, they would be holding a stake that's worth several billion dollars, and the strategic ownership in what they believe would be going to be the winner in a significant global region. However, the CEO opposed about the consolidation and it was the strategy of the day. He also wrote that the most potential danger of the global strategy is that all take on too many battles on several fronts and with many rivals.
The president of Grab; Ming Maa said to Reuters that Uber and Grab had stepped up with the latest collaboration idea all by themselves, though SoftBank seemed highly supportive about the acquisition.
So what about the African business of Uber? The local representatives of Uber there over and over insisted that in spite of the favored strategy of SoftBank, the company isn't drawing out of the content, nevertheless, time will tell.

Women Prime Ministers have Balls.
From: "saby dasouza" Our correspondent in Mumbai, India.
To: "Daily Gaggle | Vest"
Subject: Re: FW: Australia says NO, again
greater than our Indira Gandhi ?
Women PMs have balls
THE GREATEST PRIME MINISTER IN THE WORLD – READ HER BLUNT SPEECH.
Australia says NO - Second Time she has done this ! She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen..
A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA .
Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
This woman should be appointed Queen of the World.. Truer words have; never been spoken.
It took a lot of courage for this woman to speak what she had to say
or the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least she was willing to take a stand on her and Australia 's beliefs.
The whole world needs a leader like this!.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia.
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on
Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted
radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..
Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'.
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right
wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on
Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of
our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another
part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our
culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask
is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment
with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow
you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done
complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our
Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take
advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO
LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come
here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Canada & USA , WE
will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
This is an invite to World United Bloggers to comment, W U B are a cell of latent terrorists based in Cairo.
um, need a link or reference to where those words were originally spoken or written.
In other words, did Prime Minister Julia Gillard actually say that?

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – A Libyan woman who said she had been raped by pro-government militiamen is being sued for slander for naming her alleged attackers.
Government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said the woman, Eman al-Obaidi, faced court action because she had publicly named the men she accused of raping her.
"In Islam this is very serious when you accuse someone of a sexual crime," said Ibrahim. "She named the accused publicly and they are suing her."
Obaidi burst into a hotel full of foreign journalists in Tripoli Saturday and told them, weeping, that she had been held for two days and raped by 15 militiamen loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
After being intimidated and subdued by security men and hotel staff, who also beat journalists trying to interview her in the hotel restaurant, Obaidi was bundled into a car and driven away.
Her allegations have not been independently verified. The government said Sunday that Obaidi had been released and she was with her family.
Obaidi's mother said she had been asked to convince her daughter to retract the allegations in return for her freedom and cash or a new home.
Her mother, Aisha Ahmad, told journalists she had been contacted by the authorities about her daughter and how she could be freed.
"Last night at 3, they called from Gaddafi's compound and asked me to convince my daughter Eman to change what she said, and we will set her free immediately and you can take anything you and your children would ask for," she said, according to Britain's Sky News, which broadcast her interview with an English translation late Monday.

India v Pakistan: Cricket relegated to a distraction during frenzied build-up to semi-final
The Indian-Pakistan border is 150 miles to the west of Mohali, where the World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan takes place, but it may as well have been transplanted here for all the nationalistic posturing that has accompanied this match.
Feeling optimistic: Indian fans decorated in the colours of their nation's flag predict a semi-final win over Pakistan
India against Pakistan has long had that extra frisson (one Indian friend quoted George Orwell's dictum about sport that it is war minus the shooting), and this one will have that bit more being a semi-final of the World Cup.
For many, it is a match that neither team can afford to lose though one will, and that is when effigies, and maybe worse, will be burned.
Much of the hyperbole is just that, but one claim that might not be is the TV audience which will surely break all records for a one-day match.
India has a population just shy of 1.2 billion people while Pakistan has 360 million, and it is doubtful many of them won't have an eye or ear tuned to this match.

The Independent Basketball Association (IBA) was a semi-professional men's basketball league that began play in the fall of 2011. The six charter members were Battle Creek Knights, Chicago Redline, Gary Splash, Kankakee County Soldiers, Lake County Stars and Rockford Riverdawgs.

The IBA played two separate seasons each calendar year: a Spring season (March–June) and a Fall season (September–January). Teams competed in one or both league competitions.

The last commissioner of the IBA was Barry Bradford, president of the Kankakee County Soldiers.

History
The first league championship (2011–12) was won by the Kankakee County Soldiers, who also won the 2012 Spring season championship.

In the Spring of 2012 the league expanded beyond its midwest footprint, adding a total of seven teams: Albany Legends, Kenosha Ballers, Lansing Capitals, Los Angeles Lightning, Malibu Pirates, Springfield Xpress and St. Louis Trotters.

The Holland Dream were added to the IBA for its third season in 2012–13, bringing the league total to 14 teams.

IBA and PBL joined forces in 2013, but the merger was short-lived. Travel issues, questions of league rules and other issues were too much to overcome and the two parted ways before the end of the Spring season.

2013-14 began with the addition of the Windy City Blazers, who played previously as the Windy City Monsters in the ABA. Grand Rapids Fusion and Markham City Racers entered league play for the 2014 Spring season.

In the Fall season of 2014-15 four teams (Binghamton Pioneers, Jersey G-Force, Kansas City Kryptonite, and Toronto 3D) played a partial schedule in anticipation of full league membership in 2015. CyFair Cobras, Houston Xperience and Louisiana Soul also were to compete as "branding teams" in the Fall season. None played an IBA game.

In December 2014 Schenectady Legends captured their first IBA championship, defeating Kenosha 154–137. Albany High School graduate Lloyd "Pooh" Johnson score an IBA championship game record 61 points and was named the game MVP.

Kankakee County won their league-best sixth championship in the Fall of 2015 by avenging their finals loss to St. Louis for the Spring title.

Have Sam and Dean never heard of Google?
Every time Sam and Dean carry out research they use the search engine shown above. I was wondering if a big search engine like Google or Yahoo even exists in the Supernatural universe? Or this this some special hunter's search engine?
Logan545Logan545
im going to hazard its a simple, copyright issue.
obviously google hides all the relevant search results because it's run by a wendigo.
– KutuluMike
@Logan545 Google tries very hard to avoid becoming a generic trademark, which I believe is what you're hinting at. Just because everyone refers to "searching" as "googling" doesn't mean that it's not still a trademark
Google doesn't bring up fake results, which you need when filming. Other sites, such (I assume) the one they used in the show, will bring up scripted results that have been requested (i.e., the user tells it what to bring up so you get "in universe" results)
– Mac Cooper
@MacCooper More likely it's not a working search system at all, just a series of images or pre-programmed HTML pages made by the production team. There would be no reason to program an actual database of searchable results, when you already know exactly what you want the next page to say.
– Nerrolken
TV Tropes calls this Brand X . As it says on the linked page:
When a script calls for a consumer product, and no one has offered the producers a Product Placement deal, a television program must resort to making up a brand — or, in some cases, obscuring a real brand so that it can't be identified. Another technique is to make a lookalike label that doesn't show the actual brand name — for instance, a bright-red soft drink can inscribed, in white letters, "Cola".
It's a common dodge in all media. At this time, I imagine Google is more concerned with losing the exclusive trademark of their name (as almost happened to Xerox) than they are with trolling for new customers.
Joe L.Joe L.
Probably more to the point: Why would google bother to pay for that product placement? The target market for that show is already well aware of them.
– NotMe
Using a fake brand also allows the writers to speak badly of it. "Man, these Big Belly Burgers are gross!" or "Ugh, these Macrohard laptops are so slow compared the Apricot laptops I'm used to!" Not sure if Sam and Dean have ever gotten frustrated with their search results, but it seems in-character.
Despite "Search the Web" being the search engine we most often see them using, there are actually a couple of references to the Brothers using Google:
Sam: Um, I Googled "fire," "claws," "flying," "stealing virgins," and "gold," and it all takes me to the same place.
Dean: Where?
Sam: World of Warcraft fansites.
Supernatural Season 6 Episode 12: "Like a Virgin"
Dean: You honor the deceased by driving their truck. Sam, they wrote a whole country song about it. Why don't you Google it?
Supernatural Season 10 Episode 13: "Halt & Catch Fire"
Dean: I got the basics from Google. The family moves into a long-vacant house. Uh, one week later, three of 'em dead by their own hands. Whole family wiped out except for the daughter, which the house is still under her name.
Supernatural Season 10 Episode 19: "The Werther Project"
And a couple more references to the company itself, from other characters:
Charlie: I'm gonna die. I should have taken that job at Google.
Supernatural Season 7 Episode 20: "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo"
Sam: Where's [the old spot where Lucifer's crypt was] now?
Meg: Do I look like Google to you? None of these buildings were here way back in the day.
Supernatural Season 8 Episode 17: "Goodbye Stranger"
Sam: We just want some basic information on Crowley. That's it.
Snooki1: Google him. Are we done?
Supernatural Season 9 Episode 16: "Blade Runners"
So obviously Google exists in the world of Supernatural and, since so many characters use it casually as a verb, it's clearly gained at least some of the same ubiquity as in our world.
So why does everyone use "Search the Web" instead?
Out-of-universe, Joe L. is obviously correct. In-universe, however, this has never been addressed. I can think of a few possible explanations, none of which are wholly satisfying:
SearchTheWeb is more anonymous. Let's be honest, Sam and Dean use their laptops to search for some pretty weird stuff. In our universe, there have been reports of "suspicious" Google activity being reported to law enforcement, which is obviously the kind of attention the Brothers really don't want. Perhaps SearchTheWeb is Supernatural's version of DuckDuckGo.
SearchTheWeb is more occult-focused. Similar to the above, Sam and Dean are typically searching for pretty specific things: lore on monsters, and how to kill them. Perhaps (as KutululMike facetiously suggested in a comment on the question) Google omits the really relevant results.
1 Possessed by a crossroads demon. It's a weird show, sometimes
Jason BakerJason Baker
Going off the details from the screenshot (the desktop shortcut names being Projects, Secure Files, Analysis, Internet, and Connect, neither of them have ever bothered personalizing anything about the laptop. It may just be the in-verse default search engine and/or homepage of their laptop's OS, and they haven't bothered to change their default search engine (and/or homepage), and don't want to go to the effort of typing google.com into the address bar.
Neen D.Neen D.
Jared and Jensen said it is part copyright part the fact that the web sites they go to aren't real.

adding an actual citeable quote or video would go a long way here. i'm also not sure what you're trying to do with your hashtag here.

Music – ages 11-16
Music offers the chance for students to acquire skills which complement the other activities at Ratcliffe. By working alongside each other in the classroom and when in performance situations, they learn leadership and negotiation as their work is developed. Students learn many skills as well as having the enjoyment of working with like-minded musicians.
All students in Years 7-9 have one 55-minute music lesson every week. Topics covered in the Scheme of Work include all 3 main areas from the National Curriculum; listening & appraising, performing and composing. Our varied and stimulating Programme of Study aims to inspire, enthuse and motivate our students, whilst incorporating music theory, literacy skills and key music terminology.
At Key Stage 3, the emphasis is very much on practical music-making. Students are encouraged to sing, perform on our classroom percussion instruments and keyboards, and learn how to use music software such as Sibelius and GarageBand. Music theory and notation skills are incorporated into most units to ensure that all students have good musical literacy by the end of Year 9. In preparation for GCSE Music and to allow for greater support and individual development, Year 9 classes are split into 2 groups of 10-11 students.
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Our GCSE musicians benefit from small class sizes across Years 10 and 11. We currently study the Pearson syllabus, which focuses on 3 main areas: Listening & Appraising (40%), Performing (30%) and Composing (30%).
For the Listening and Appraising unit, students will study 8 Set Works across 4 Areas of Study, which are:
Instrumental Music from 1700-1810
Music for Stage and Screen
Students at GCSE have 6 music lessons over a 2-week period. Lessons will involve analysis of the Set Works, music theory and development of listening and appraising skills. Students will also benefit from regular GCSE performance workshops, composition lessons and the numerous concerts and performing opportunities available across the College.
Enrichment Opportunities in Music
The department is staffed by a team of instrumental specialists who give individual tuition on their instrument to those who would like it. There are schemes to support students who would like group lessons as well as a String scheme in the Preparatory School. Students who take up this opportunity are encouraged to join the wide array of choirs and ensembles on offer. These ensembles vary in size and are designed to cater for different tastes in such a way that students can perform at whatever they are at.
Our GCSE musicians are encouraged to partake in 2 co-curricular ensembles. Please see our 'Co-Curricular Music' page for further details.
Along with our A-Level musicians and Music Scholars, our GCSE musicians also have the opportunity to attend regular school trips to watch live concerts and shows in order to enhance their learning and understanding. Trips vary from classical instrumental concerts to musical theatre and jazz and swing performances!
There are a vast number of performance opportunities available throughout the year, with a major concert each term, alongside the House Music Competition and informal performances which take place on a weekly basis.
There are numerous smaller ensembles such as Brass Ensemble, Swing Band and String Ensemble. All these groups allow students to study specialist repertoire for their instrument whilst they develop ensemble playing.
The Senior Choir sings at all major services and functions in school; they also sing outside the College. They tackle complex repertoire and help support the whole school in their congregational singing. Highlights include the Last Night of the Proms and the Carol Service.
Co-Curricular Music – Ages 11-16
Co-Curricular Drama - Ages 11-16

Many of Burleson's able and fit young men sailed across the big water to France to fight beside allies of the United States during World War I. Fletcher Wynne is the one I will focus on today. The reason being is that his daughter, Janie Stephens, provided me with a photo album containing many of the documents she used to honor her father and his service to the war effort.
The first page in the album is a copy of Fletcher Johnson Wynne's World War I Draft Registration Card dated June 5, 1917, and signed by C.C. Taylor. Page 2 is his original Registration Certificate notifying him to report to his local draft board in Cleburne on June 26, 1918. Page 3 is Fletcher's original Order of Induction Into Military Service of the United States and to report for duty in Cleburne on July 6, 1918.
The pages that follow are his Individual Pay Record Book, a photo of Fletcher and a fellow soldier in full WWI uniform, his meal ticket while on board the U.S. Navy armed transport, Leviathan, and a page from his diary after arriving in France on October 6, 1918.
The Album does not have any information about his time serving in the war. The next pages are pictures he made of a winter scene while visiting Niagara Falls upon his arrival back into the United States. Fletcher and others must have taken a few days of vacation before returning to Camp Bowie in Texas, to be honorably discharged on April 4, 1919. His Honorable Discharge from the United States Army, Enlistment Record and his Adjusted Compensation for Service Certificate are also in the Album. Fletcher J. Wynne passed away in 1971.
Serving in World War I must have been a great adventure for Fletcher and other country boys from around Burleson. Just imagine boys from Johnson County who probably had never seen the bright lights of Dallas, going to New York City and seeing the tall buildings, visiting Niagara Falls and sailing across the Atlantic on a huge ship. Upon arrival in France they were introduced to French cuisine and French culture. This reminds me of the popular song of the era, "How ya Gonna to Keep'em Down on the Farm After They've Seen Paree." This overseas experience brought the United States into the next decade referred to as the "Roaring Twenties." I am not sure the "Twenties" ever roared into Burleson.
The final two pages contain a certificate signed by President Nixon which reads as follows: The United States of America honors the memory of Fletcher J. Wynne.This Certificate is awarded by a grateful nation in recognition of devoted and selfless consecration to the service of our country in the armed forces of the United States.
The last page in the album is the City of Burleson Certificate of Honor which was presented to Fletcher's family by Mayor Ken Shetter on Jan. 24, 2014. A brick was placed in Burleson Veteran's Memorial of Honor in his memory.
A copy of Janie's photo album is available for viewing at the Burleson Visitors Center and Museum. On behalf of the Burleson Heritage Foundation, I want to thank Janie Stephens for all the work she does to preserve the history of her family and the city of Burleson. She is an asset to our great city.

Researchers in the US have concluded that blogging also makes bloggers better thinkers. US neurologists Fernette and Brock Eide conducted a survey of the blogosphere and posted their results on their own site. The research began with the proposition that our mental activities cause changes in the structures of our brains -not only what we think, but how we think as well. They decided to focus on blogging because it represents a significant new activity that might be changing the way people think, and concluded that blogging can be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive and associational thinking.

When I read my great-great-uncle Henry Schoenthal's diary and learned that his little sister Malchen (later, Amalie, then Amelia, but I will call her Amalie throughout) was the first of his siblings to express an interest in following him from Germany to the US, I was intrigued. She was only twenty years old and not yet married. Who was this adventurous young woman?
Amalie Schoenthal arrived in Pennsylvania in September, 1867, and in 1870, she was living in Pittsburgh with her aunt Fanny Schoenthal Goldmith and her family and working as a domestic. In 1872, she married Elias Wolfe, the cattle drover, with whom she had six children between 1873 and 1885: Maurice, Florence (usually referred to as Flora), Lee (named for Amalie's father Levi), Ira, Henrietta (or Etta, named for Amalie's mother Henriette), and Herbert. Although Amalie's life was likely very traditional for a married woman with six children, some of her children seemed to have inherited her adventurous spirit. Unlike most of the children and grandchildren of her older sister Hannah who stayed in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area for generations, most of the children of Amalie and Elias Wolfe ventured to places quite distant from Pittsburgh.
From the description of the wedding, it would seem that Elias Wolfe must have been doing quite well in his business as a cattle drover. A fancy wedding attended by over a hundred people would probably have been considered quite large in those times. Flora's maid of honor was her first cousin, Edith Stern, daughter of Hannah Schoenthal Stern. Among the many guests, the last paragraph lists my great-grandparents, Isidore and Hilda (Katzenstein) Schoenthal, and their sons, my great-uncles Lester and Gerson, who would have been ten and seven years old at the time, respectively.
Flora's groom, Lehman (sometimes spelled Leman) Goldman, was born in Baltimore in 1876, as was his father, Samuel Goldman, who was working as an insurance agent in 1900, according to the census. After marrying, Flora and Lehman were living with Lehman's family in Pittsburgh, and Lehman was working as a traveling salesman in the "furnishing goods" business. I assume that that is another term for dry goods or clothing.
Flora and Lehman had four children in the first nine years of their marriage: Kenneth LeRoy (1901), Helen (1903), Donald (1905), and Marjorie (1907).
Flora's sister and four brothers were still living at home with their parents Amalie (now called Amelia) and Elias Wolfe in 1900. Elias was still a drover. Maurice, now 27, and Lee, now 22, were clerks in a furnishings store. Ira was nineteen and working as a stenographer. The two youngest children, Henrietta, seventeen, and Herbert, twelve, were still in school.
Lee must have married shortly after 1900 (although I cannot find any record or news story to confirm it) because he and his wife Wilhelmina (Minnie) Heisch had a son named Lloyd on February 25, 1902, and a daughter named Ruth in 1905. Minnie's parents, John Heisch and Christine Kress, were born in Germany, and John was a carpenter. Although I found newspaper announcements of engagements and marriages for Minnie's siblings, I did not find one for Minnie and Lee nor did I find any mention of the marriage in the Jewish Criterion. According to the entry in the 1908 Pittsburgh city directory, Lee was in the paper bag business.
His brother Maurice, the oldest son, was living with his parents in 1908 and working as a salesman. Their sister Etta was working as a bookkeeper and also living at home.
By 1910 and perhaps even earlier, Ira Wolfe had left Pennsylvania and moved to San Francisco. He was 28 years old, working as a cashier for a lamp company, and lodging in someone's home, according to the 1910 census. Herbert, the youngest child of Amalie and Elias Wolfe had also moved away by 1910; Herbert was 25 and had moved to Detroit where in 1910 he was working as a machinist and in 1911 as a sign writer. Thus, by 1910, the two youngest sons of Amalie and Elias had left for far off places. I can't help but wonder what drove them to move away from the place where their extended family was living. Did they inherit their mother's adventurous spirit? Or was it something else?
All the other Wolfes were still in Pittsburgh in 1910. Etta was living with her parents at the time of the census in April, but she married Maximillian Joseph Wise on June 2, 1910. Max was a German immigrant; although I cannot find him on the 1900 census, there was a Max Wise listed on the 1910 census who was living in Pittsburgh on Mellon Street, the same address given in the marriage announcement in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Max Wise was a traveling salesman residing as a lodger in the residence of others at the time of the 1910 census.
I cannot find Maurice Wolfe on the 1910 census, but he is listed as living in Canonsburg in both the 1909 and 1911 directories for Washington, Pennsylvania, selling men's furnishings. His brother Lee was still living in Pittsburgh with his wife Minnie and their two children, Lloyd and Ruth; Lee was then a wrapping paper salesman.
As for Flora (Florence, here), at the time of the 1910 census she and her husband Lehman Goldman were also still living in Pittsburgh where Lehman was a clothing merchant. Their four children were eight, six, four, and just about two years old when the census was taken on April 15, 1910.
Just five months later the Wolfe/Goldman families suffered a terrible loss. Flora Wolfe Goldman, only 35 years old, died on September 30, 1910, from puerperal fever, also known as childbed fever.
Fever due to an infection after childbirth, usually of the placental site within the uterus. If the infection involves the bloodstream, it constitutes puerperal sepsis. Childbed fever was once a common cause of death for women of childbearing age, but it is now comparatively rare in the developed world due to improved sanitary practices in midwifery and obstetrics. Also known as childbirth fever and puerperal fever.
Since there is no record of another child born to Flora and Lehman, I assume that either the baby was stillborn or died shortly thereafter or that Flora had miscarried. Flora left behind her 34 year old husband and four very young children. Lehman remarried three years later on March 8, 1913; his second wife was Helene Hoffa, and they would have four more children together between 1914 and 1923.
Six months after Flora died, on March 3, 1911, Etta and Max Wise had their first child, a daughter whom they named Florence Emily, undoubtedly for Etta's sister. A second child, a boy named Irving, was born the following year on October 12, 1912. In 1913, Etta and Max Wise relocated to Middletown, Ohio, where he opened a clothing store, as evidenced by the obituary written years later when Max Wise died, seen below.
During the 1800's and early 1900s Middletown became this bustling municipality due to the growth of industry. Many entrepreneurs developed their businesses and with the addition of ARMCO (now AK Steel) founded by George M. Verity, and Sorg Paper Company founded by Paul J. Sorg.
As reported on Wikipedia, the population of Middletown surged in these years, going from about 3,000 people in 1870 to over 9,000 by 1900 and to more than 23,000 by 1920. Max Wise must have seen it as a place of great opportunity; as they say on the old commercial for Barney's clothing store in New York City, everyone needs clothes.
In 1903, ten Orthodox Jewish families rented a small room on Clinton Street in which to hold services. Under the leadership of new Russian immigrant, Mr. Schomer, they rented a single Torah and created a makeshift Ark. As the Orthodox community grew, the rented shul on Clinton Street became too small for weekly Shabbat services, and in 1915, the community bought a structure on First Avenue, across from the public library. Rabbi Gilsey assumed the pulpit, and a regular religious school was formed. Three years later, in 1918, the shul was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio under the name "Anshe Sholom Yehudah Congregation." By 1920 there were approximately thirty-five families in the congregation, all of whom spoke mainly Yiddish.
The tragic death of Flora Wolfe Goldman in 1910 was not the only loss that the Wolfe family would suffer during the decade of the 1910s. On December 27, 1913, Elias Wolfe died at age 74 from heart disease.
Sometime after Elias died, Amalie Schoenthal Wolfe moved to Middletown, Ohio, as she is listed in the Middletown city directory for 1917. Amalie obviously wanted to be closer to her only surviving daughter and her Ohio grandchildren.
Etta and Max Wise had four more sons after moving to Ohio: Richard Elias (1915), Max, Jr. (1917), Robert (1919), and Warren Harding Wise, born on September 19, 1920. I guess we know who Max and Etta (if she voted since the 19th amendment had just been ratified on August 19, 1920) voted for in the 1920 Presidential election—the native son candidate from Ohio, Warren Harding. I wonder how little Warren Harding Wise felt when he learned that his namesake was involved in the Teapot Dome scandal as well as other scandals, which were revealed in the years after Harding's untimely death in office in 1923.
Meanwhile, out in California, Ira Wolfe was having his own troubles. On June 29, 1911, he married Ada Piver in San Francisco. Just over six months later in January, 1912, Ada sued him for divorce, claiming "extreme cruelty," as detailed in these two news articles.
There's no way of knowing the truth of Ada's allegations (and I could find no follow-up story describing the court's ruling in the case). Assuming there was some truth to her descriptions of Ira's temper, drinking, and violent nature, perhaps it is not surprising that he had moved so far from his home in Pittsburgh.
Ira's younger brother Herbert, still living in Detroit, married Elsa Repp on June 24, 1916. Elsa was a Detroit native, the daughter of John and Amelia Repp, who were also both American-born. In 1910, John Repp was working as a metal polisher, and Elsa was working as a box maker in a laboratory.
Back in the Pittsburgh area, only two of Amalie and Elias Wolfe's children remained. Maurice Wolfe had married by 1917 according to his World War I draft registration. I've not been able to find anything about his wife's background; all I know is that her first name was May and that she was born around 1880 in New York, according to the 1920 census record. In 1917, Maurice and May were living in Pittsburgh, and Maurice, who was lame in one leg, was working as an inspector for Westinghouse. As far as I can tell, they did not have any children.
By 1917, Lee Wolfe and his wife Minnie had moved to Dormont, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh about four miles south. Lee was the local manager of the Interstate Folding Box Company. On the 1920 census, Lee, Minnie, and their two children, now teenagers, were still living in Dormont, and Lee was still working for a paper company as a commercial salesman.
Lee's brother Maurice was also still in Pittsburgh in 1920, working as a government clerk, but by 1923 he had relocated to Middletown, Ohio, where his mother and his sister Etta were living. I cannot find Maurice on the 1930 census, but he was listed in the Middletown directory for that year. On the 1940 census, he was still in Middletown, working as a salesman, and divorced. Although I can't be certain, I assume his marriage ended before he left Pittsburgh, but since I have no records for his wife May other than Maurice's draft registration and the 1920 census, I can't be sure.
In 1920, Max and Etta and their children continued to live in Middletown where Max was the proprietor of a clothing store. Herbert Wolfe and his wife Elsa were still living in Detroit where Herbert was now working as an installer for the telephone company according to the 1920 census.
Although Ira Wolfe was listed as a salesman in the 1917 San Francisco directory, I cannot find a World War I draft registration for him nor can I find him on the 1920 census. The last possible record I have for him is a listing on the Chicago, Illinois marriage index showing an Ira J. Wolfe marrying a woman named Agnes Resa on July 17, 1920. I did find Agnes on the 1920 census, taken before she married. She was thirty years old, born in Illinois, and living with her mother and brother in Chicago. Agnes was working as a comptometer for the railroad. What is a comptometer, I wondered? Apparently it was not itself an occupation, but a machine—a very early form of what today we would call an adding machine or a calculator. I assume that Agnes operated a comptometer for the railroad.
Thus, as of 1923, of the five surviving children of Amalie Schoenthal Wolfe, only Lee Wolfe was still living in Pittsburgh. Maurice and Etta were in Middletown, Ohio; Herbert was in Detroit; Ira was in Chicago. And Flora Wolfe Goldman's children were living in Atlantic City, where Lehman and his family had moved by 1920.
Their mother Amalie/Amelia Schoenthal Wolfe was living in Middletown when she died on February 10, 1924.
I found this very interesting. I am not surprised that Amalie (or Amelia) left her personal property to her only surviving daughter Etta; after all, she had been living with her for many years. But I did find it surprising that she named her daughter Etta, not one of her sons, as the one to execute her will, in an era where men primarily took on such roles.
In addition, Amalie left $25 to each of her Goldman granddaughters—including Fay and Celeste, who were not even her blood relatives, but born to Lehman Goldman and his second wife Helen. Why not any of her grandsons? I understand why she only left the money to the Goldman grandchildren; since she was leaving the remainder of her estate to her surviving children, Flora's children needed to be taken care of separately. But why not the boys? I'd like to think that Amalie was protecting the women in the family—making her daughter the executrix and only leaving money to her granddaughters. Perhaps she thought that the boys would be more able to take care of themselves in a world where women were still very dependent on men for support. I would like to think that Amalie, that adventurous young woman who had been eager to move to America , was somewhat of a feminist, treating her daughter and granddaughters favorably in her will to encourage their own independence.
This is clearly the same Ira J. Wolfe who married Agnes Resa on July 20, 1917, in Chicago. Can I be certain that this was Ira J. Wolfe, the son of Amalie and Elias Wolfe? According to the 1900 census, their son Ira J. Wolfe was born in June 1880, so he would have been 44, not 42, in July, 1924. Close enough? According to this article, he had been a general sales manager for a fuse company in Detroit; my Ira J. Wolfe had been a salesman for Pittsburgh Electric Company in San Francisco, so in the same field of electrical products. My Ira had a brother, Herbert, living in Detroit and then working for the phone company. Is this enough circumstantial evidence to support my assumption that the Ira J. Wolfe who married Agnes Resa and died in July, 1924, was the son of Amalie Schoenthal Wolfe? If so, he was still living when his mother Amalie died and thus was intentionally excluded from her will.
The 1930 census records for the surviving Wolfe siblings show that not much changed between 1920 and 1930. Lee was still in the paper business in Pittsburgh; his two children were now in their 20s. Lloyd, 28, was still living at home and working as a gas station attendant. His sister Ruth, 25, was also living at home and not employed.
Max and Etta were still in Middletown, Ohio, living with all of their children, who now ranged in age from nine to nineteen; Max still owned a clothing store. Etta's brother Maurice was also still living in Middletown, as noted above. Herbert and Elsa continued to live in Detroit, where Herbert was a car salesman now. They had had a child in 1925.
As for the children of Flora Wolfe Goldman, by 1930 they were adults. Kenneth LeRoy (known as LeRoy K.) Goldman, Flora's oldest child, was still living with his father and stepmother and half-siblings in 1930, working as a men's clothing salesman. His sister Helen Goldman had married Bertie Kenneth Paget in 1926 and was living with him and their two year old daughter in Queens, New York, in 1930. Bertie was in the publishing business. Donald Goldman was living in Atlantic City in 1930 and was married to Marguerite Simpson; their daughter was born in 1931. Marjorie Goldman married John Lynn in 1929, and in 1930 they were living in Philadelphia where John was an insurance salesman. They would have two children in the 1930s.
The Journal News (Hamilton, Ohio) , November 20, 1934 p 2.
According to the obituary, Max had been in poor health, but died rather suddenly. He was survived by Etta, who was 50 years old, and his six children, who ranged from fourteen to 23 when they lost their father.
The 1940 census found all the remaining Wolfe siblings in the same locations as 1930: Maurice was in Middletown working as a salesman. Etta was also in Middletown with five of her six children still living with her; they all were now in their 20s, except Warren, who was 19. Only Irving had moved out; he was married and living in Miamisburg, Ohio, less than fifteen miles from Middletown. Lee Wolfe was still in Pittsburgh, still selling paper, and living with his wife and his two children, who were now in their 30s. Herbert continued to live with his wife and child in Detroit where he was the sales manager for the Detroit Auto Club. Thus, although the Wolfe siblings other than Lee had spread quite far from Pittsburgh, once they settled elsewhere, they stayed put.
Maurice Wolfe died in Middletown, Ohio, in 1941. His brother Herbert died in Detroit in 1951. Etta Wolfe Wise died in Middletown in 1957. Lee Wolfe lived to be almost 100 years old, dying in 1975 in the Pittsburgh area where he had lived his entire life.
Today we take for granted that our children will move away from the town where they were raised and that we will have to travel to see them. I sometimes wish for the "olden days" when children and grandchildren grew up in the same place where they were raised and multiple generations lived close by—whether it was a shtetl in Poland, a small town in Germany, or the Lower East Side of New York. I am sure I have romanticized the notion far beyond the reality. Nevertheless, it certainly was the general rule at least until after World War II that in many families, family members tended to stay put. My Cohen and Nussbaum relatives stayed for the most part in Philadelphia; my Brotman and Goldschlager relatives stayed in the greater NYC area.
The children of Amalie Schoenthal Wolfe seemed to be ahead of their times, moving far from home and from each other. I don't know what motivated them all to move apart, but I'd like to think that it was the same spirit of adventure that led their mother Amalie, when she was still Malchen Schoenthal, to be the first sibling to express a desire to leave Sielen, Germany, and move to the United States to join her big brother Henry.
In my post about the descendants of Leopold Nusbaum, one of the unanswered questions was what happened to Cora Frank Lehman and her daughter Dorothy Gattman after Cora's second husband Joseph Lehman died in 1959. I could not find any answers—until I looked to Dayton, Ohio, for help.
First, some background: Cora Frank was the third child of Francis Nusbaum Frank, the only child of Leopold Nusbaum to survive to adulthood. Cora had married Jacques Gattman in Philadelphia in 1903 and had had one child, Dorothy, in 1905. Then in 1906, Jacques died at age 31 from a stroke. Cora had married her second husband, Joseph Lehman of Dayton, Ohio, in 1913, and then moved with him to Dayton. Dorothy grew up and went to high school in Dayton, but I had no luck finding any record for her after 1925, when she was listed in the Dayton, Ohio, directory as a student.
Cora and Joseph were still living in Dayton at the time of the 1930 census and the 1940 census and were listed in Dayton directories in the 1950s.
I was able to find Joseph Lehman's death in 1959 on the Ohio Deaths database on ancestry.com, but I could not find his burial place. I was also unable to find any record for Cora after the 1959 Dayton directory. I thought she must have left Dayton after Joseph died, but I had no idea where she went. She was not in the Pennsylvania database for death certificates, which runs through 1963, nor was she in the Ohio Deaths database, which runs until 2007. I thus thought she had left Ohio and either lived past 1963 in Pennsylvania, where she'd been born and raised, or gone wherever her daughter Dorothy had gone.
But where had Dorothy gone? Since I had no marriage record for her, I had no surname. I tried searching every way I could to find her, but had no luck.
That's when I decided to look for assistance in Dayton. I contacted the Jewish Genealogical Society of Dayton for some information, and two women there, Marcia and Molly, co-presidents of the society, helped me locate where Joseph and Cora were buried—in the cemetery for Temple Israel in Dayton, one of three Jewish cemeteries in Dayton. Molly also found in the cemetery records Cora's date of death—April 14, 1967. But unfortunately they were not able to find an obituary or any other document that revealed where Cora died or what happened to her daughter Dorothy.
But Molly gave me one other piece of invaluable advice. She suggested I contact Ellen at Temple Israel. I emailed Ellen, and she emailed me back first with information about where Joseph and Cora were buried in the cemetery and, most importantly, Cora's address when she died in 1967: the Beaux Arts Hotel in New York City. I was so excited and immediately tried locating Cora and Dorothy in New York City. But I had no luck since I still didn't know Dorothy's surname.
And there it was: Mrs. Albert Rosenstein! That had to be Dorothy. And now I knew that at least in 1967, she was living in New York City at the Beaux Art Hotel at 310 East 44th Street.
Now that I had Dorothy's married name, I was able to find Dorothy and Albert Rosenstein on the 1930 census. This was clearly the right Dorothy—right age (27), right birthplace (Pennsylvania), and right birthplaces for her parents (Pennsylvania and Mississippi). Dorothy and Albert were living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and further research revealed that Albert was born and raised in Lancaster, had graduated from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, and was in the art wares business.
Ellen at Temple Israel in Dayton was also able to find this photograph of Dorothy's confirmation class. We could not figure out from the list of names on the back which one is Dorothy. If anyone has any clue as to whether this list is in any order that would help identify Dorothy, please let me know.
But I was not yet done. I didn't know whether Albert and Dorothy had had any children. I had to find them on the 1940 census. Once again I hit a roadblock. I could not find them. Although I found entries for them in the Lancaster directories up through 1939, there was no 1940 directory on line, and they did not appear in the 1941 directory. Where had they gone?
Using the address listed in both the 1930 US census and the 1939 Lancaster directory, 71 Spencer Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I searched for that address on the 1940 census. There were Rosensteins living at that address, but not Albert and Dorothy. Instead, Albert's parents Morris and Sara Rosenstein were living at 71 Spencer Street. Where were Albert and Dorothy? Why were his parents living in the house that Albert and Dorothy had owned in 1930 and lived in just a year earlier? Morris and Sara had lived at a different address in 1930.
Although I found an Albert Rosenstein living at 162 West 56th Street in the 1940 New York City telephone book, there was no Albert Rosenstein living at that address in the 1940 US census report. I did find one Albert Rosenstein in New York City on the 1940 census, but he was single, born in New York, about four years younger than my Albert would have been in 1940, and a dress salesman. On the other hand, he was living at 162 West 55th Street, just one digit off from the address where an Albert Rosenstein was listed in the 1940 telephone book. So…was this a different Albert Rosenstein from my Albert Rosenstein? I think so, but then where were my Albert and Dorothy Rosenstein in 1940? I still am not 100% sure.
I had no idea who Phyllis Rosenstein was. She was eleven years younger than Albert, five years younger than Dorothy, so clearly not their child. There was no sister named Phyllis living with Albert's parents in 1920 or 1930, so I did not think she was his sister. His only brother, Louis, was married to a woman named Blanche. So who could Phyllis have been?
With the help of the Tracing the Tribe group on Facebook, I learned that Phyllis was Albert's second wife. He married her on February 10, 1976, when he was 77 years old. I have to say that I am not sure Dorothy would be so thrilled having Albert's second wife buried with them under the same headstone, but maybe I am just old fashioned.
I called the cemetery to see if perhaps they had any obituaries or other relevant records, but they did not. Thus, there were still some loose ends here. Where were Dorothy and Albert between 1939 and 1975? Did they have any children?
The Tracing the Tribe group on Facebook again provided me with some great assistance. One of the TTT members found a 2014 bulletin from Congregation Shaarei Shomayim in Lancaster which listed Dorothy G. Rosenstein and Albert Rosenstein on its January yahrzeit list. (A yahrzeit is the anniversary of a death on the Jewish calendar when relatives light a candle and say kaddish in memory of the deceased.) I checked a Jewish calendar, and while Dorothy's yahrzeit could fall in January, Albert's would not. I emailed the synagogue, and another helpful person, Martha, responded telling me that both Albert and Dorothy had yarhzeit plaques there (though the January yahrzeit was for Albert's uncle with the same name, there was a separate one of my Albert). Martha, however, had no record indicating who had paid for those plaques or whether there were any children or other descendants of Albert and Dorothy.
I still did not know if Albert and Dorothy had had children, though it now seemed unlikely. Then the TTT group helped me again. Since Albert was a 1922 graduate of the Naval Academy, I had thought perhaps he'd been sent overseas in 1940. Although the US had not entered World War II as of 1940, I did find a military record indicating that Albert had been activated in 1932 and was discharged in 1959. At the suggestion of a TTT member, I wrote to the US Naval Academy Alumni Association to see if they had any records. Last night I received an email from the US Naval Academy Alumni Association, Memorial Affairs representative which included two items: the obituary for Captain Albert Rosenstein and his photograph and biography from the yearbook from 1922, the year he graduated from the Academy.
It does seem that my hunch was correct—that Albert was serving in the Navy during World War II and thereafter for many years. I am now searching for more information about his military record. And the obituary also answered one more question. It does not appear that he and Dorothy had any children, or at least none who survived him.
It's amazing to me how much I was eventually able to learn about Dorothy and Albert when just a week ago I thought I never would find out anything about her. I would never have gotten this far without the generous assistance of those three women in Dayton, Ohio: Ellen, Molly, and Marcia. Thank you all very much! And thank you as well to Timothy from the USNA Alumni Association, Martha from Congregation Shaarei Shomayim, and to my many wonderful colleagues at the Tracing the Tribe Facebook group. Once again—it took a village.
Ellen from Temple Israel in Dayton also sent me these photos of the headstones of Joseph and Cora Frank Lehman.
UPDATE: Here are the death certificates for Dorothy and Albert. Dorothy's confirms that she was in fact the daughter of Cora Frank.


This is our section cencentrating on Edible crafts. Things like cake decorating have always been remarkably popular in the UK where as other edible craft such as cup cakes and various chocolate based crafts have only really taken off over the last few years (even though, in reality they have been around for a lot longer).

The class 121 and 122 (also known as "Bubble Cars") formed part of the first generation of British DMU's. These units were designed to run on branch lines and secondary routes and were ideal for stations that were not able to have run-round loops due to space. The class 121 units were built in 1960 by Pressed Steel and the class 122 were built in 1958 by Gloucester RC& W. Lots of these units are still in preservation.

Webb honoured with PGA membership
POSTED ON February 6, 2019 @ 7:27 pm
One of Australia's most successful golfers of all time, Webb has proudly represented her country at the highest echelons of the game for more than 20 years notching up an incredible 51 wins worldwide including seven Major titles.
While her playing resume speaks for itself, just as impressive is her work behind the scenes to foster young talent via her Karrie Webb Series and subsequent scholarship being provided to two Australian females amateurs each year since 2008.
"I'm really chuffed," said Webb of her honorary PGA membership.
"When Gavin Kirkman called me late last year, I wasn't sure what he wanted to speak to me about and I definitely wasn't expecting that.
"It's a very, very nice honour and I'm really thankful to the PGA of Australia for thinking of me like that."
As a vocal supporter of increasing female participation in golf, it was fitting that Webb received her honorary membership of the PGA of Australia at the ISPS HANDA Vic Open; a golf tournament leading equality in golf.
"Obviously the Vic Open's had this format for I think six or seven years now and what I love about it is it's actually gotten the world's attention now that the LPGA have co‑sanctioned and the men's European Tour have co‑sanctioned. World media are talking about it," added Webb.
"I spoke to Geoff Ogilvy for the first time today. Our paths just don't cross. It would be nice, just as the tennis does, that we have a handful of events a year that we're all together and you get to know everybody."
Throughout her career Webb has had a strong association with the PGA, most notably with PGA Professional Ian Triggs.
"I had a fabulous time working with Triggsy. He really got my game ‑‑ it wasn't in great shape when he started helping us out, you know, from the swing obviously to just refining a few bad habits.
"But for me, we did a lot of great work on my short game, just tidied all of that up.
"His knowledge tee to green, every shot in the bag was fantastic. I learnt so much from him."
But it is the work that the PGA is doing to produce more female PGA Professionals which excites Webb.
"I know a lot of the female PGA of Australia professionals have great junior programs, so that's boys and girls. You know, I think they're great nurturers, women," added Webb.
"Women might have a different approach to coaching that identifies with certain people, whether it's men or women.
"I think it's great that the PGA of Australia's really making it a little bit more accessible for women to go into that field and knowing that that is an option if they want to stay in the golfing world and have a career in golf."
With 2800 PGA Professionals across Australia, PGA Chairman Rodger Davis said that it is an honour to have the support of Webb.
"Karrie Webb is a wonderful ambassador for Australian golf not just as an athlete but as a role model," said Davis.
"We are privileged to welcome Karrie to the PGA of Australia with honorary membership. To count a person of her calibre amongst our ranks is truly wonderful."

New Quantum Equation Suggests The Big Bang Never Happened And Our Universe Has No Beginning
What if there was never any big bang and the universe has just always existed? That's the theory posed by two astrophysicists whose theory compliments Einstein's theory of general relativity and also explains dark matter.
Essentially it suggests that the universe is drastically different than how we perceive it today and, in fact, there was never a big bang 13.8 billion years ago.
Dr. Ahmed Farag Ali and Professor Saurya Das have come up with a series of equations that suggest there is no beginning or end.
Of course, the theory is hotly debated and it does pose significant challenges to physicists. Still, in the coming decades, more research and data on this may reveal some incredible surprises.


Intentional Learning is understanding fundamental learner differences, listening and responding to real-time learning needs, and predicting and measuring instructional outcomes against academic or business requirements.
This is a priority in establishing a good online learning relationship that supports innovation and a continuous thread of successful learning episodes.
The Training Place (TTP), a minority-owned company, provides learning assessment, research, and services for improving training, orientation, design, performance and business opportunities. Our focus is helping our clients provide innovative, cost-effective solutions that continually keep a competitive, global workforce achieving peak performance. We work hard to help clients attract, manage, and nurture our greatest asset—people! Our strengths are helping clients (in the U.S. and 10 countries worldwide) recognize the importance of involving students and teachers in the learning and assessment process to build confidence and maximize student achievement. Our company was founded to address the lack of sophisticated training and learning solutions via the Web, specifically the lack of solutions addressing the fact that humans are emotional and they want and expect to learn differently. We call the key individual differences in how humans learn "learning orientations.
Our company was founded in 1999 to address the fact that too few instructional models consider the impact of emotions on learning. Many teaching and learning models, developed in the Industrial Age, are obsolete for today's more sophisticated need for educated, innovative knowledge workers that can make decisions or think critically. Too many models are passive, one-size-fits-all and do not support active or performance-based continual learning. New models need to help students tap into and master emotions to support the intentional learning process and achieve true potential, which is key for innovation. The old models encourage memorization, rule-based learning, and sage-on-the-stage instruction. A better approach is to use assessment that taps into emotions to fuel motivation, persistence, innovation, and achievement.
