APPENDIX C.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE MAP WHICH DELINEATES THAT PART OF THE
FEDERAL LANDS COMPREHENDED BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA WEST LINE,
THE RIVERS OHIO AND ScioTO, AND LAKE ERIE; CONFIRMED TO THE
UNITED STATES BY SUNDRY Tribes of INDIANS, IN THE TREATIES OF
1784 and 1786, AND Wow READY FOR SETTLEMENT. SALEM: Printed
BY DABNEY AND Cusung, MDCCLXXXVII.
NEW YORK, October 28, 1787. Having attentively perused the following pamphlet, describing part of the western territory of the United States, I do Certify, that the facts therein related, respecting the fertility of the soil, productions, and general advantages of settlement, etc., are judicious, just, and true, and correspond with observations made by me during my residence of upward of ten years in that country.
THOMAS HUTCHINS, Geographer of the United States.'
AN EXPLANATION, ETC. The great river Ohio is formed by the confluence of Monongahela and the Alleghany, in the State of Penusylvania, about 290 miles west of the city of Philadelphia, and about 20 miles east of the western line of that State. In the common traveling road, the former distance is computed at 320 miles; and, by the windings and oblique direction of the Ohio, the latter is reckoned about 42. These two sources of the Ohio are large, navigable streams; the former, flowing from the southeast, leaves but 30 miles portage from the navigable waters of the Potomac, in Virginia ; the latter opens a passage from the north-east, and rises not far from the head-waters of the Susquehanna. The State of Pennsylvania has already adopted the plan of opening a navigation from the Alleghany River to the city of Philadelphia, through the Susquehanna and the Delaware. In this route, there will be a portage of only 24 miles. On the junction of these rivers, or at the head of the Ohio,
stands Fort Pitt, which gives name to the town of Pittsburgh, a flourishing settlement in the vicinity of the fortress. From this place, the Ohio takes a south-western course of 1,188 miles, including its various windings, and discharges itself into the Mississippi, having passed a prodigious length of delightful and fertile country, and received the tribute of a large number of navigable streams. The Muskingum, the Hockhocking, the Scioto, the Miami, and the Wabash from the North-west, the Kenhawa, the Kentucky, the Buffaloe, the Shawanee, and the Cherokee from the south-east, all navigable from 100 to 900 miles, discharge themselves into the Ohio; and yet the Ohio itself forms but an inconsiderable part of that vast variety of congregated streams which visit the ocean through the channel of the Mississippi.
The Ohio, from Pennsylvania to the Mississippi, divides the State of Virginia from the Federal lands, or the lands which do not fall within the limits of any particular State. These
extend westward to the Mississippi and northward to the ' boundary of the United States, excepting only the Connecticut reserve, which is a narrow strip of land, bordering on the south of Lake Erie, and stretching 120 miles west of the western limit of Pennsylvania. But a small proportion of these lands is as yet purchased of the natives, and to be disposed of by Congress. Beginning on the meridian line, which forms the western boundary of Pennsylvania, they have surveyed and laid off seven ranges of townships. As a north and south line strikes the Ohio in a very oblique direction, the termination of the seventh range falls upon that river 9 miles above the Muskingum, which is the first large river that falls into the Ohio. It forms this junction at 172 miles below Fort Pitt, including the windings of the Ohio, though in a direct line it is but 90 miles. The lands in which the Indian title is extinguished, and which are now purchasing under the United States, are bounded as before described on the east, by the Great Miami on the west, by the Ohio on the south, and extend near to the head-waters of the Muskingum and Scioto on the north. The Muskingum is a gentle river, confined by banks so high as to prevent its overflowing. It is 250 yards wide at its confluence with the Ohio, and navigable by large batteaux and barges to the Three Legs; and, by small ones, to the lake at its head. From thence, by a portage of about one mile, a communication is opened to Lake Erie, through the Cayahoga, which is a stream of great utility, navigable the whole length, without any obstruction from falls. From Lake Erie, the avenue is well known to the Hudson, in the State of New York. The most considerable portage in this route is at the fall of Niagara, which interrupts the communication between the Lakes Erie and Ontario. From the latter, you pass through the River Oswego, the Oneyda Lake, Wood's Creek, and find a short portage into the Mohawk, and another, occasioned by a fall near the confluence of the Mohawk and the Hudson, at Albany.
The Hockhocking resembles the Muskingum, though somewhat inferior in size. It is navigable for large boats about 70 miles, and for small ones much farther. On the banks of this very useful stream are found inexhaustible quarries of freestone, large beds of iron ore, and some rich mines of lead. Coal mines and salt springs are frequent in the neighborhood of this stream, as they are in every part of the western territory. The salt that may be obtained from these springs will afford an inexhaustible store of that necessary article. Beds of white and blue clay, of an excellent quality, are likewise found here, suitable for the manufacture of glass, crockery, and other earthenwares. Red bole and many other useful fossils have been observed on the branches of this river.
The Scioto is a larger river than either of the preceding, and opens a more extensive navigation. It is passable for large barges for 200 miles, with a portage of only 4 miles to the Sandusky, a good, navigable stream, that falls into the Lake Erie. Through the Sandusky and Scioto lies the most common pass from Canada to the Ohio and Mississippi, one of the most extensive and useful communications that are to be found in any country.
Prodigious extensions of territory are here connected ; and, from the rapidity with which the western parts of Canada, Lake Erie, and the Kentucky countries are settling, we may anticipate an immense intercourse between them. The lands on the borders of these middle streams, from this circumstance
alone, aside from their natural fertility, must be rendered vastly valuable. There is no doubt but flour, corn, flax, hemp, etc., raised for exportation in that great country between the Lakes Huron and Ontario, will find an easier outlet through Lake Erie and these rivers than in any other direction. The Ohio merchant can give a higher price than those of Quebec for these commodities, as they may be transported from the former to Florida and the West India Islands with less expense, risk, and insurance, than the latter; while the expense from the place of growth to the Ohio will not be one-fourth of what it would be to Quebec, and much less than even to the Oneyda Lake. The stream of Scioto is gentle, nowhere broken by falls. At some places, in the spring of the year, it overflows its banks, providing for large natural rice plantations. Salt springs, coal mines, white and blue clay and freestone, abound in the country adjoining this river. The undistinguishing terms of admiration, that are commonly used in speaking of the natural fertility of the country on the western waters of the United States, would render it difficult, without accurate attention in the surveys, to ascribe a preference to any particular part, or to give a just description of the territory under consideration, without the hazard of being suspected of exaggeration. But in this we have the united opinion of the Geographer, the Surveyors, and every traveler that has been intimately acquainted with the country, and marked every natural object with the most scrupulous exactness—that no part of the federal territory unites so many advantages, in point of health, fertility, variety of production, and foreign intercourse, as that tract which stretches from the Muskingum to the Scioto and the Great Miami Rivers.
Colonel Gordon, in his journal, speaking of a much larger range of country, in which this is included, and makes unquestionably the finest part, has the following observation : " The country on the Ohio is every-where pleasant, with large level spots of rich land, and remarkably healthy. One general remark of this nature will serve for the whole tract of the globe comprehended between the western skirts of the Alleghany mountains; thence running south-westerly to the distance of 500 miles to the Ohio falls; then crossing them northerly to the heads of the rivers that empty themselves into the Ohio; then east along the ridge that separates the lakes and Ohio's streams to French creek. This country may, from a proper knowledge, be affirmed to be the most healthy, the most pleasant, the most commodious and most fertile spot on earth, known to the European people."
The lands that feed the various streams above mentioned, which fall into the Ohio, are now more accurately known, and may be described with confidence and precision. They are interspersed with all the variety of soil which conduces to pleasantness of situation, and lays the foundation for the wealth of an agricultural and manufacturing people. Large level bottoms, or natural meadows, from 20 to 50 miles in cir. cuit, are every-where found bordering the rivers and variegating the country in the interior parts. These afford as rich a soil as can be imagined, and may be reduced to proper cultivation with very little labor. It is said that in many of these bottoms a man may clear an acre a day, fit for planting with Indian corn; there being no under-wood, and the trees growing high and large, but not thick together, need nothing but girdling. The prevailing growth of timber and the more useful trees are maple or sugar-tree, sycamore, black and white mulberry, black and white walnut, butternut, chestnut, white, black, Spanish, and chestnut oaks, hickory, cherry, buckwood, honey locust, elm, horse chestnut, cucumber tree, lynn tree, gum tree, iron wood, asli, aspin, sassafras, crab-apple tree, pawpaw or custard apple, a variety of plum trees, wine-bark spice, and leather-wood bushes. General Parsons measured a black-walnut tree, near the Muskingum, whose circumference, at 5 feet from the ground, was 22 feet. A sycamore, near the same place, measured 44 feet in circumference, at some distance from the ground. White and black oak, and chestnut, with most of the above-mentioned timbers, grow large and plenty upon the high grounds. Both the high and low lands produce vast quantities of natural grapes of various kinds, of which the settlers universally may make a sufficiency for their own consumption of rich red wine. It is asserted in the old settlement of St. Vincent's, where they have had opportunity to try it, that age will render this wine preferable to

legend that is our very own "Nessie".
We are particularly well situated to see many rare birds and animals. There are Red Kite, Buzzards and Opspreys, large flocks of Geese and other waders. We have our own resident Red Squirrels, and if visiting Loch Ness to see our very own "Nessie", why not aim to catch sight of the Moray Firth Dolphins, and maybe Seals and even Otters at nearby North Kessock.
Inverness City is five minutes drive south from the Cottages, making it ideal to find Good Pubs & Clubs with entertainment; cosy riverside cafes; and a good choice of restaurants.
June sees the start of the summertime Galas and Highland Games; Pipebands etc. The biggest Show is "The Black Isle Show" always the first Thursday in August, with something for everyone to see and do, a great day out for everybody.
Indoor attractions include a seven Screen Cinema Complex; Swimming & Gym at the Aquadome Leisure Complex; Ice Skating; Ten Pin Bowling, Eden Court Theatre. There are Woollen & Tartan Mills, and many local shops to see.
Maybe buy a local Haggis?
Car tours of The Highlands are very rewarding. With quiet roads, there is much to discover. 30 minutes away are the impressive fortifications at Fort George, whilst a similar trip south across the Kessock Bridge will bring you to the Culloden Battlefield with all its Clan history from the 1745 uprising. Just a field or two away from Culloden at Clava is a huge complex of vast Stone Age Cairns. Further south at Carrbridge is the Landmark Centre. The Strathspey Steam Railway from Boat of Garten to Aviemore is a great treat for all, and at Kingussie and Newtonmore there are the twin Highland Folk Museums. There are Castle trails and the Malt Whisky trail is a must for lovers of the "Amber Nectar" Take a trip to Loch Ness, and maybe cruise to Urquhart Castle. See the Lock Ladder at Fort Augustus, and in winter, visit the Funicular Railway and Ski Slopes at Aviemore, or Nevis Range and it's Gondola. Rewarding trips are to the beautiful Strathconnan Glens, or Strathfarrar, west of Beauly. Maybe trace your ancestors, or take a cruise on the Moray Firth to spot dolphins, or enjoy a guided mystery tour of Inverness. The whole area affords spectacular opportunities for Walkers & Hillwalkers, the only way to truly appreciate our fantastic scenery.
The walks around the Ness Islands in Inverness are very attractive.

On October 11th some intrepid Christain Aid supporters abseiled down the East wall of Coventry Cathedral. Among them was Louise Prue from Hearsall Baptist Church. Louise organises the Chirstian Aid Week collection at Hearsall Baptist. Louise raised £627 (including gift aid) for Christian Aid. Well done Louise and we're all very glad you managed to avoid Saint Michael's spear!
Christian Aid Week 2015 got off to a great start with a cake sale in the All Souls Parish Room. I think you'll agree it was a very impressive spread. A slice of cake and a cup of tea was just the ticket after the procession and May devotion in the Peace Garden.
For thousands of people throughout the country the Christian Aid Week street collection is a way of answering Jesus' call to help people in need.
Christian Aid has over 500 partners in the 47 countries in which it works. Christian Aid Week is the UK's biggest door to door collection with 300,000 collectors taking part, raising approximately £12.5 million in 2011. It began as the response of the churches in the UK and Ireland to the refugee crisis in Europe at the end of the Second World War. It now raises around £9 million each year for charitable causes all over the world. Christian Aid Week takes place in the second week in May each year and last year (2014) we at All Souls raised £887.
Many of you have taken part in the door to door collection in previous years and I hope you will be able to help again next year. The way it works is this: if you want to help by being a street collector just put your name, address and telephone number against the street of your choice. The list of streets is placed in the church porch during April. The longer streets are divided up so that there are about 60 addresses for each collector. I will contact you and supply you with a package which will contain the collection envelopes and a pocket guide, which includes the collector's certificate of authority. Collectors deliver the envelopes at the beginning of the week and collect them later in the week. When the collection is completed, you contact me and I shall be responsible for opening, counting and banking the money.
This year's collection could have been even bigger despite the recession. The problem is that not enough people volunteer to collect. The figure collected above does not include the contribution of the tax man. By encouraging people to fill out the declaration on the envelope, an additional 25% is added to the collection. To be a collector you must be 16 or over. This year you can volunteer earlier by emailing me, the Christian Aid coordinator, at the email address on the contact us page.
Please don't leave it until the last minute to put your name down; we never have enough collectors even though some fine people collect from more than one street!
Please join us in helping some of the world's poorest people.

U.S. Science Envoy Thomas Lovejoy hopes to use science to help preserve the Amazon, even in the face of new development.
Slobodan Randjelovic
Q&A: Amazon 'tipping point' may be closer than we think, Thomas Lovejoy says
By Barbara Fraser Aug. 16, 2016 , 3:00 PM
The Amazon faces a new wave of exploitation, as Brazil, Peru, and other Amazonian countries look to the vast expanse of forests and rivers to supply expanding energy and natural resource needs. Hundreds of infrastructure projects—dams, roads, railroads, pipelines, and more—are planned. But the deforestation that usually accompanies such projects threatens biodiversity as well as the Amazon's role as the world's largest terrestrial carbon sink, says biologist Thomas Lovejoy of George Mason University, Fairfax, in Virginia.
Lovejoy is one of five new U.S. science envoys appointed by the U.S. Department of State and the White House to promote scientific collaboration between the United States and other countries. He plans to use his new role to encourage efforts to understand the Amazon's climate dynamics and help prevent deforestation from tipping the region from carbon sink to net carbon emitter. He recently spoke with Science in Lima. This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.
Q: What do you consider the greatest threat to the Amazon?
A: The intersection between uncoordinated infrastructure and the hydrological cycle. The Amazon makes half of its own rainfall [through evapotranspiration], and the water recycles five or six times as it crosses the basin. [Deforestation disrupts] the hydrological cycle [and] is going to have effects on the weather system. With the droughts of 2005, 2010, and the current one—I think we're seeing flickers of the potential tipping point.
Q: Do we know where the tipping point from carbon sink to source will be?
A: One estimate is at about 40% deforestation. That doesn't include other impacts on the hydrological cycle from climate change itself and the widespread use of fire. Fire not only burns the forest, it also dries it out and makes it more vulnerable. I think it's reasonable to think the tipping point is around 20% deforestation.
Q: Dams are controversial; can hydropower be environmentally sound?
A: It depends on designing [dams] so they don't block the rivers, [and] they allow for a lot of natural sediment flow and permit fish migrations. Impeding the sediment flow will degrade agricultural productivity. If you block the migratory fish pathways, it will be the end of the major fish resources. [Some species] use the entire length of the Amazon in the course of their life span. Perfection would be having no dams, but that's not going to happen, so let's make them an example of sustainable infrastructure.
Q: What kind of planning is needed so that Amazonian cities can develop without so much deforestation?
A: I've been to modest-size communities on the Rio Negro that are entirely solar powered. Communities near small rivers could use little generators in the river. … One question is how you feed people in those cities. Aquaculture potential is enormous. [One starting point might be] a fisheries agreement among the Amazon nations, from the headwaters to the estuary, for some of those big catfish. That's something everybody understands, everybody values, and it depends on the hydrological cycle.
Q: What do you see as research priorities?
A: How to design sustainable infrastructure [such as transmission line towers that rise far above the canopy, with no cleared right-of-way below]. Also, a better understanding of biodiversity distribution patterns. At least in the eastern two-thirds of the Amazon, we're finding that … there's a lot of unrevealed biodiversity that needs to be looked at.

New platform could save the music industry
17 Jul 200846 Views
Video saves the radio stars! A new music video web service out of Dublin could provide the music industry with the monetisation strategy it dearly needs.
Big-four label Sony BMG has already signed up and the other labels Warner, Universal and EMI may join in the year ahead.
The Muzu TV service launched in Dublin yesterday promises to create a personalised TV channel for music fans to manage their favourite music and present it on their various social networking sites, such as MySpace.
Users can also interact with bands and labels and share music legally and at no cost.
But what's in it for the hard-pressed music industry? Muzu TV has created a platform that allows labels like Sony and bands such as The Ting Tings to develop a homepage but also generate revenue through an ad-supported model developed by the company where revenues from ads are shared 50/50 between Muzu and the labels/artists.
Another aim of the site is to allow unsigned bands to generate revenue from advertising and possibly sign record deals. The company's Dublin headquarters boasts a recording studio where bands can drop in and create videos.
Muzu is the brainchild of Ciaran Bollard and Mark French, and so far a wide cross-section of the industry including artists, venues, festivals and music magazines have signed up.
These include over 200 labels and content producers such as Ministry of Sound, Defected Records, Cherry Red Records, Eagle Rock, Planet Rock Profiles, SPV, Hollywood Music and Ninja Tune, to name a few.
The site includes rare footage such as interviews and documentaries about Phil Lynott and Bob Dylan.
Artists from Sony BMG who feature on the site include The Ting Tings, the Foo Fighters, Kylie, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and MGMT.
Muzu, which has offices in Dublin and London as well as an R&D base in Waterford, is quickly generating a buzz in the technology world, having already presented at TechCrunch.
The company in recent months has raised €6m in venture capital from Oyster Capital, Enterprise Ireland and a number of private investors.
Co-founder Mark French explained the company has spent the last two years building technology, negotiating with labels and artists, and having amassed a strong digital content library, is ready to hit the road.
"We are officially live in Ireland and the UK and the plan is to go live in mainland Europe in the third quarter and in the US in the first quarter of 2009," French said, adding he is confident that the other big three record labels will join the Muzu TV revolution. "We are in negotiations."
He said artists are creating a lot more content than the obvious DVDs and CDs and there is an important route to monetisation that must be grasped by a music industry anxious to arrest its decline in the face of threats such as piracy.
"Bands are creating a lot more content than what's on albums. They are on the road, there's behind the scenes stuff such as how a guitarist came up with a riff or bass line. In many cases, bands have a lot of content they haven't had the opportunity to digitise yet which could be worth potential revenue through ads viewed by fans as they consume the content.
"The other beauty of the service is that it creates a platform for bands to manage their digital content, such as tagging it to be available in certain parts of the world or to users of a certain age.
"This is a great facility to get all of a label or band's video content into one place for the first time. Fans can then take the content and broadcast it on different channels around the web."
Co-founder, Ciaran Bollard, described Muzu TV as an artist-led initiative where artists' and labels' concerns about copyright and quality of content can both be addressed..
"We built this as a communications platform for the music industry. It's unique insofar as we are a video site for fans that results in sharing revenue with the copyright holder.
"The key focus for fans is they can create their own music channel online and totally personalise it and re-broadcast it on their favourite social networking sites."
Bollard said the company is currently working on optimising Muzu TV for the mobile phone and within a year predicts the service will be available on alternative platforms such as the Xbox 360.

A Limited Liability Company or LLC is a hybrid of a partnership and a corporation, offering an alternative to partnerships and corporations by combining the corporate advantages of limited liability with the advantages of pass-through taxation that exist in a partnership. It is also a rather recent creation, with some states creating statues acknowledging LLCs within the last 10 years, where as corporate statutes have been in existence in states such as Delaware for over 200 years.
What are the differences between an INC vs. a LLC?
· Those in authority are called either Members or Managers vs. Officers or Directors for a Corp.
What is required to form an LLC?
To file a LLC, most states require only the filing of Articles of Organization along with paying the states filing fees.
SmallBiZ.com prepares your Articles of Organization, files them with the state of your choice, and pays the minimum initial filing fees (Expedited Service may include additional state fees). You only need to complete our simple online order form, which asks only what the state requires to form your LLC.
Do I need an attorney to form a LLC?
No! An attorney is not a legal requirement for forming a LLC in any state. You can prepare and file the articles of organization yourself; however, you need to be thoroughly versed in the laws of your state.
In spite of their seemingly high hourly fees, a good corporate attorney can be a valuable resource to your small biz. If you are unsure of what steps your business should take and you don't have the time to research the mater yourself, even the cost of one hour's consultation can pay off handsomely later. Just remember to bring lots of questions.
Once you have decided, SmallBiZ.com can form your LLC and save you money.
First and most important, we recommend that you spend some time coming up with a name for your LLC. Although each state has different rules concerning the naming of your LLC, the most common rule is that it must not be deceptively similar to another already formed company. The LLC name must include a suffix. Some examples are "Limited Liability Company", "LLC", and "L.L.C." However, your state may have different suffix requirements. Check the State Research area to get more details about your state. For more information about naming your LLC read, The Importance of a Good Name.
Other than in Massachusetts, only one member is required to form a LLC. The IRS looks at single member LLCs a little different than they do multi-member. By De The IRS does allow one member LLCs to qualify for pass-through tax treatment; however, taxation of one person LLCs at the state level may be different.
In what state should I form my LLC?
In most circumstances, it is best to form your LLC in the state in which you are operating. However, there may be good reasons to form in another state, such as Delaware or Nevada. For more information, see INC in DE, NV or Not?
If I form in one state, can I do business in another state?
Even though your LLC was formed in one state, you will be recognized as a valid LLC in other states. However, if you are operating in another state, you may be required to register your LLC in that other state. For more information on this, see What is Nexis - You Need to Know This!
Are the members of a LLC responsible for the LLC debts?
Although there are exceptions, generally the LLC is responsible for the company's debts, protecting the members from individual liability. See Guarantor Liability & Alter Ego Liability.
Like corporate bylaws & a partnership agreement, an Operating Agreement spells out how your LLC is managed, who has authority to do what, how ownership is registered, the percentage of ownership, etc. Although generally not a requirement, an Operating Agreement is vital in a multi-member LLC. An Operating Agreement is generally a private document and unlike articles of organization, no state agency requires it's filing or publication.
Does my LLC require an operating agreement?
Sometimes banks or vendors will require seeing your Operating Agreement before doing business with you.
Sets out rules that govern how profits will be split up, how major business decisions will be made, and the procedures for handling the departure and addition of members.
Keeps your LLC from being governed by your state's default LLC laws, which might cause adverse taxation.
Helps to avert misunderstandings between the owners over finances and management.
Courts will be more likely to respect your personal liability protection by showing that you have been careful about organizing your LLC.
SmallBiZ.com provides a 43 page Operating Agreement on CD for only $25.00 or FREE with the purchase of our Deluxe LLC Kit. Call us toll free 1 (866) 2INC NOW or 1(866) 246-2669 to order.
How is a LLC organized and managed?
A LLC is owned by its members vs. shareholders in a corporation or partners in a partnership. A member's ownership of an LLC is represented by their "interests" , just as partners have "interest" in a partnership and shareholders have stock in a corporation.
A LLC may be managed by its members (owners) or by managers. If the LLC is to be managed by its members, it operates like a partnership, with each member having an equal say in the decision making process of the company. If the members choose to elect a manager or managers, then the managers will be acting in a capacity similar to a corporation's board of directors or the general partners of a limited partnership. These managers are in charge of the overall affairs of the LLC.
Member management is the normal default rule of state law. In other words, if managers are not selected in the articles of organization the members will direct the affairs of the LLC. Also, if the articles do not name the members or managers of the LLC, the Operating Agreement will do so.
Keep in mind that taxation of LLCs are handled differently by each state. Some look at LLCs as the same as a corporation, some as if it were a partnership, and some base their taxation on how the IRS views your LLC.
Disregarded Entity - As a single member LLC, the IRS will consider all income and expenses to pass through to your personal return. Your expenses will be shown on a Schedule C and your income on front page of your 1040, just like a sole proprietorship. Self-employment taxes on LLC net income must be paid just as you would with any self-employment business.
Partnership - As a multi-member LLC, the IRS will expect that you file a Form 1065 Partnership Informational Return and K1's for each member spelling out the distributive net profit or loss each member shall show on their 1040. Therefore, each member experiences a similar pass through benefit, which simply reported differently.
If you want your LLC to be taxed as a corporation instead of the "default" you must file an IRS Form 8832 Entity Classification form. The IRS will then tax your LLC's net income just as a corporation. Please note: The state you are in may regard your LLC differently than the IRS does. In California, the state requires ALL LLCs to pay the minimum franchise tax of $800, regardless of income, 3 months AFTER formation of your LLC. If you do not pay this tax with in the 3-month period, they will penalize your LLC and potentially revoke its charter.
A LLC is not required to have annual meetings and keep minutes of meetings like a corporation.
LLCs allow for pass-through taxation (LLC earnings ae taxed only once). This is similar to the treatement of partnerships, sole proprietorships and most S corporations.
LLCs (like general partnerships) are mostly free to establish any organizational structure agreed on by its members. Profit interests may be separated from voting interests; distribution percentages can be different than the percentage of ownership or investment; etc.
The statutes governing LLCs are fairly new and more untested than corporations.
Some countries may not recognize your LLC as a valid entity.
LLC's are treated differently in each state causing some potential tax consequences to members.
Which is better a LLC or an S corporation?
A LLC may offer several classes of membership interests while an S corporation may only have one class of stock.
A LLC can have more than 75 members (the maximum of a S corporation).
A LLC can be owned by another entity, where as an S corporation must be owned by individuals.
Non-resident aliens can own a LLC, where as an S corporation cannot.
A LLC can have a wholly owned subsidiary, where as an S corporation cannot own more than 80% of another corporation.
On the other hand, S corporations can provide a method of reducing self-employment taxes. Owners of an S corporation can separate a portion of the company's net income as W2 wages (to the owners) and the remainder would be taxed as ordinary income, free of self-employment taxes. All of a LLC's net income is generally considered subject to self-employment taxes on both a federal a state tax level.
What do I do after my LLC is formed?
After your articles of organization are filed with the state, your LLC should have an organizational meeting where an operating agreement is adopted and certificates (representing the interests of the LLC) are issued. Your bank may also require a separate resolution authorizing you (and other members) the authority to open a bank account on behalf of the LLC.
SmallBiZ.com's Deluxe LLC Kit and Operating Agreement on CD (included in the kit) provide you the information you need to make this process easier.
After you decide to form an LLC, simply fill out and submit our online form. We will then verify your name choices are available, draft your articles, file them with the state and send you all appropriate documents after they have been filed.
Once you have decided on a name, order your corporation online or call us toll-free @ 1-866 2INC NOW or 1-866-246-2669. Once we receive your paid order, we verify your name choices are available, draft your articles, file them with the state and send you all appropriate documents after they have been filed.

Q: Running Thor Task from Migration I want to call a thor task from a Migration.
With rake I can write
def self.up
  Rake::Task["db:rollback"].invoke
end

But how can i do this with thor?
(The thor command is "thor db:rollback")
(thor db:rollback is not a option, I want so see the output and the script should abort on errors)
UPDATE:
The migration is called from the Thorfile
It looks like this:
require 'active_record'
class Db < Thor
  desc "migrate", "description ..."
  def migrate
    ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrate(MIGRATIONS_PATH)
  end
end

A: Assuming that db:rollback refers to the rollback task of the Db class, then you can do this:
script = Db.new
script.invoke(:rollback)

You can read more in the docs: http://rdoc.info/github/wycats/thor/master/Thor/Base/ClassMethods#start-instance_method


This is a sponsored post written by me for Predictim. All opinions are mine alone.
There is nothing I love more than spending time with my daughters! However, there are occasions, when I need someone to watch the kids… date night with the hubby or mom's day out with some friends, to name a few examples. That's why a reputable babysitter is essential for every mom's sanity. If you don't already have a sitter, I'll be sharing some tips today to keep in mind as you navigate the process of searching & interviewing potential candidates. After all, when it comes to the safety of our children, one can never be too careful.
1. Ensure the sitter is trained!
When it comes to finding a qualified babysitter, experience with kids is clearly an important element of a candidate's history. However, you should also look for sitters that are trained in CPR and First Aid. Knowing what to do in case of emergency is essential.
Found a potential babysitter? Use Predictim to analyze their social media profiles. Predictim goes beyond a basic background check to provide a complete social media assessment that helps you make the right decision. Indeed Predictim is a smart solution for parents!
Thanks to artificial intelligence, Predictim looks at a candidate's online footprint to find specific trends. In fact, the software uses over 6 billion data points and puts those intro proprietary algorithms. The result is an easy-to-read report that is automatically created within three minutes of signing up. Here's a sample report with a score of 5 (Very High Risk).
The report is packed with information and features the essential personality characteristics of a potential babysitter. The software specifically looks for social media content that may point to behavior that includes harassment, bad attitude, explicit content and drug abuse.
Plus, Predictim is fully accessible on mobile devices. So you can check a potential sitter's profile even when you're on the go. I love the convenience of that! So what are you waiting for? Check out Predictim today – there's even a demo available!
When it comes to finding the right nanny or babysitter, make sure you ask for & follow up with references. Ask for a list of no less than three previous contacts. Call each of these people and ask some basic questions about their experience with the sitter. Did they have any difficulties with the sitter? Did she always show up on time? Did the children enjoy spending time with her?
When it comes to expectations, being clear upfront is the best way to ensure a positive experience for everyone. Make a list of rules and share that with the sitter. Include obvious items (no smoking in the house, for example) and also include less common rules. For example, is the sitter ever allowed to leave the house with the child (to go to the park or run errands at the store)? Be explicit with your expectations.
All kids can misbehave from time to time. Take some time and discuss discipline methods with the sitter. If your child really thrives on positive discipline, encourage your sitter to follow through with the same method. If your kid actually responds well to time-outs, then make that known, too.
If your child regularly takes any medicines, make sure you communicate this information to a potential sitter. Even if your child does not regularly take medicines, make it clear to the sitter what she is allowed to administer to the child if the child gets sick. If there is a fever, should the sitter give ibuprofen? Should the sitter call you first? Go through the common scenarios ahead of time so everyone is on the same page. Also, if your child has any allergies (to medicines or food), make sure the sitter is aware of those.
Let's say you used Predictim and found a great sitter. You've checked references and are ready to get started. Don't just throw the sitter into the home and leave them alone with the kdis for a few hours. Try to make the transition slow and gradual. Start by introducing your kids to the sitter and let them hang out together for a few hours to play. Stay in the house but give them plenty of space. The next time the sitter comes over, try to leave for a short time and then return. If your child is experiencing any level of separation anxiety, this gradual transition will help to create a positive experience for all parties.
Learn more about Predictim and how it can help you find the best babysitter for your needs. What things do you look for in a potential sitter? Have you ever tried Predictim?
These are some great sounding tips I can imagine it can be a bit overwhelming intrusting your little human to someone new!
These are great tips I am so scared of hiring a sitter though. After seeing all those videos online of how baby sitters mistreate the kids, it just gives me chills. But I know there are some reputable ones out there.
I wish we've had those tools back in the time my kids were little. I had terrible experiences. I'm so happy that is over.
Good tips hun but you know that handbook that doesn't come with having a baby? Well, shocker, the same handbook never shows up when dealing with other parenting issues. I've done the best I can and learned a lot through trial and error along the way. One category I feel like I've learned a lot in is hiring babysitters for the girls. I wish I was lucky enough to have family down the street, but since I'm not, I've had to learn how to be on the hiring end of the babysitter game, which isn't as easy as you may think.
This is a great resource to have in your arsenal! I am very lucky to have amazing in laws that help me out with the kids at the drop of a hat!
Where I live, people don't use babysitters for some reason. Probably because of money.
I don't have any children yet but this is such a great resource. I will definitely use it in the future.
Definitely great tips for hiring a sitter. References, outlining expectations and guidelines will make a big difference in the experience for you, your daughter and the sitter.
What an awesome resource for parents. I know I would like to hire a sitter at times, but am always too worried. I am going to check this out!
I've never heard of Predictim before, but it sounds like a great resource for parents. It's so important to be sure the people you leave your children with are responsible and trustworthy.
This is a wonderful post. Great tips, I had no idea Predictim existed. My girls are older now, but I do have lots of friends with younger kids that will love to know about this site. Will share with them.
Thanks for the tips. I will keep in mind when I am in this boat.
i need a baby sitter for my baby! I absolutely loved ur tips!

Matthew Brooks, owner and founder of Nomi explains the inspiration behind the BUSt! boredom Mega Maze and Misfits installations.
Documentation of our recent work with the Lexington Downtown Development Authority, LexTran, LexPark and KaBoom! is currently underway.
Last year, the LDDA's "BUSt! boredom" proposal to re-imagine the Transit Center was chosen as 1 of 50 winners from over 1,000 applicants to receive a grant from KaBoom!'s Play Everywhere Challenge, a collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Target, Playworld, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Nomi worked alongside two other design teams, the UK College of Design and Informal Office to develop prototypical and replicable concepts that allow children (and adults) in Lexington to "Play Everywhere". Our two concepts, "Mega Maze" and "Misfits" are currently installed at Lexington's central transit center on Vine Street.
We had a lot of fun working on this one and are very excited to be part of this people-first design project for our city!

Q: Swimming Problem - How can I do this? I have a problem with the following diagram. The triangle is just a possible path and may not be the shortest. If the boy has to get to the destination in the fastest way possible:

*

*What methods/models can I use to find out the shortest time? (Which includes swimming to each point of the point and continuing to walk to the destination)

*What logical assumptions are already made?

*What assumptions can I make?

*What are reasonable speeds of swimming and walking as well as distances?

I am utterly clueless so please provide some advice. Thx

A: Presumably he walks on shore at some speed $w$ and swims at some speed $s$.  The only paths to consider are walking some distance $d$  up the shore, then getting in the water and swimming a straight course to the destination.  You need to set up an equation for the total  time taken as a function of $d$ and minimize it by taking the derivative and setting to zero.  So the time walking is $\frac dw$   Given $d$, how far does he swim?  How long does it take?  You need some dimensions from you problem that you didn't give.  Now add the two times together and you have the total time as a function of $d$

A: My physics teacher asked similar question to me when I was introduced to kinematics. I hope it helps.
Dark line is Path Taken by Traveller.

Let $v_w$ , $v_s$ be velocities of walking and swimming respectively.
and Assuming  $v_s\lt v_w$
Let $$\eta=\frac{v_s}{v_w}$$
$$t_s=\frac{D}{v_s}$$
$$t_w=\frac{l-x}{v_w}$$
Total time taken is
$$t(x)=t_s+t_w=\frac{D}{v_s}+\frac{l-x}{v_w}=\frac{l-x}{v_w}+\frac{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}{v_s}
$$
We need to Minimize $t(x)$
$$\frac{dt}{dx}=\frac{-1}{v_w}+\frac{2x}{2v_s\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}=0
$$
$$\Rightarrow xv_w=v_s\sqrt{d^2+x^2}
$$
$$\Rightarrow x^2v_w^2=v_s^2(d^2+x^2)
$$
$$\Rightarrow x^2v_w^2-x^2v_s^2=v_s^2d^2$$
$$\Rightarrow x=\frac{v_sd}{\sqrt{v_w^2-v_s^2}}=\frac{\eta d}{\sqrt{1-\eta^2}}
$$
We can clearly see that
$$\eta\lt1\Rightarrow v_s\lt v_w$$
Note :
We can relate this to path of light when travelling through different mediums
where $\eta$ is ratio of velocities in different mediums ( Termed as Refractive Index ).

Concrete: Hard facts
Putzmeister said that when pumping concrete in precast plants, the buffer storage was located underneath the batching plant and continuously supplied the concrete pump with concrete
Pumping concrete in precast plants rather than conveying it to the formwork via buckets or bucket conveyors is still unusual, according to Putzmeister, which added that there were, in general, two different types of concrete pump technology.
All concrete pumps are powered oil-hydraulically by either a diesel engine – which it said was usually the case on construction sites – or an electric motor for use in tunnels or precast plants.
It said that with a rotor pump, a flexible hose was squeezed by a rotor in a round housing. The squeezing and the rotational movement pumps the concrete through the pipeline to the formwork.
In double piston pumps, the other technology, the concrete is alternately sucked in by two delivery cylinders, and pressed into the pipeline through a pivoting s-valve.
The Putzmeister BSF 31-5 was seen for the first time last year
Both systems have specific benefits, said Putzmeister. Rotor pumps are quiet and can be cleaned quickly and easily. For maintenance, the rotor hose can be replaced by the employees themselves as the only wear part. Rotor pumps are often found in truck mixer concrete pumps and precast plants.
Dual piston pumps, on the other hand, were said to be powerful, could pump larger quantities of concrete over longer distances thanks to higher hydraulic pressures, and could manage even difficult concrete mixtures.
Putzmeister said that concrete pumps were already being used in many precast plants. In general, it said, concrete pumps could be used to manufacture all types of precast elements as long as the concrete mixture is pumpable.
Limiting factor
The only limiting factor is the quantity of concrete to be processed per day. As a rule of thumb, the use of a concrete pump is not economic for concrete quantities below 20m³, according to Putzmeister.
Combined with a suitable filling system, concrete pumps can replace rigid bucket conveyors in circulation systems and fill formworks for wall elements, it added. Combined with a formwork filler valve, Putzmeister said they could also quickly, efficiently and economically fill large or complicated elements from below or elements in any size via a rotary distributor or a stationary boom system.
It said that using a buffer storage below the batching plant, which continuously supplied the concrete pump with concrete while the batching plant mixed a new batch, resulted in an optimal combination of systems.
"In addition to continuously supplying concrete, the buffer storage also homogenises and mixes the different batches from the concrete mixer, thereby ensuring excellent and uniform concrete quality," it said.
The entire Putzmeister machine range in the 30m class is said to have been optimised and upgraded to the latest technological standard. This includes both truck-mounted concrete pumps and stationary placing booms.
The new generation of the BSF 31-5, BSF 36-4 and BSF 38-5, as well as the MXR 35-4 stationary placing boom were presented in September 2017 for the first time to customers from Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Putzmeister said that for some time, more than 20 pilot machines had been undergoing tests worldwide to guarantee a frictionless start to production.
It said all optimisation work on the machines had been the result of extensive research and the feedback from customers, as well as the experience garnered by sales and service staff.
In addition, all new generations are equipped with the current Ergonic 2.0 control software.
The Carmix 3500 TC is the "top-of-the-range model"
Italian manufacturer Metalgalante said that the digital revolution had entered the world of concrete production. It has launched "a revolutionary technology" for the concrete industry that improved the quality of concrete produced using its Carmix machines.
Called Concrete-Mate, it is a mix design manager applying the RMC (ready mixed concrete) Plant standard level management software, which, using four sensors in the mixing unit, is said to guarantee a top-quality concrete mix complying with international concrete production standards and total control over production costs.
Manuela Galante, marketing director, said that this system allowed the company to bring concrete-plant technology into the Carmix 3500 TC, its top-of-the-range model.
She said, "This smart mobile batching plant can guarantee maximum control, consistent performance, high quality standards, work certification and worksite cost monitoring.
"All these key factors allow our customers to supply a uniform mix design, in line with the most demanding requests from Clients and international concrete production standards."
The four load cells inside the mixing unit work as weight sensors where the mixing takes place.
Metalgalante said that when compared with systems using pressure sensors on the shovel, this system ensured direct control of elements where the mix is made – including the actual weight of water for ratio optimisation – higher accuracy, and 3 to 5% weight deviation, as can be found in the most sophisticated concrete plants.
Electronic sensor
There is also Promix, described as a high-tech electronic sensor that ensures the mix design is always perfect because it measures all concrete parameters, providing a report on its characteristics in real time.
The company said that combined with the Concrete-Mate weighing system, Promix was the technological evolution that had made Carmix "an authentic small mobile batching plant".
Promix is a measurement tool composed of a stainless steel sensor that is housed inside the drum and powered by a solar panel. Information from the sensor is shown on a display in the cab in real time.
Pile Dynamics has a Thermal Integrity Profiler (TIP) which uses the temperature generated by curing cement (hydration energy) to assess the quality of cast in place concrete foundations – drilled shafts or ACIP-CFA piles.
George Piscsalko, president of Pile Dynamics, said, "Whereas other methods of integrity testing have limits in assessing the full cross-section or length – cross hole sonic logging (CSL), inside the reinforcing cage, or gamma-gamma logging (GGL), within 75 mm of access tube – TIP measurements evaluate the concrete quality from all portions of the cross-section along the entire length."
He said that in general, during curing, a shortage of competent concrete – necks, inclusions or low cement content – is registered by relative cool regions. The presence of extra concrete is registered by relative warm regions – over-pour bulging into soft soil strata.
A new type of highly flowable concrete is aiming to bridge the gap between conventional and self-compacting concrete.
UK-based GCP Applied Technologies said that this new concrete category, control flow concrete, emerged recently. It is said to offer many of the desirable characteristics of each type of concrete, without their respective negative aspect.
The company said that like self-compacting concrete, control flow concrete flowed and placed easily, without negatively impacting stability or segregation resistance. It can also be placed with minimal vibration, which helps to cut costs, it said.
The new category was said not to require extensive quality control to produce, eliminating some of the labour costs that came with self-compacting concrete. Control flow concrete is manufactured using conventional mix designs, with lower powder contents and larger coarse aggregates, further reducing material costs, GCP added.
Good slump-flow retention is necessary for transportation and placement of concrete, it said. Superplasticizers can be used to disperse the cement particles and reduce the yield stress of the concrete. However, high doses of traditional superplasticizers can cause segregation, said GCP Applied Technologies.
The SBM Euromix – like this one at Prague airport in the Czech Republic – has been available for 20 years
It introduced Concera admixtures which produced segregation-resistant, high slump- flow concrete using conventional mix designs. GCP said that using these admixtures allowed for good slump-flow, without having to use high doses of superplasticizers. This means that control flow concrete can be produced relatively inexpensively as compared to self-compacting concrete, it added.
GCP claimed that control flow concrete had compressive strength that was equivalent to conventional concrete. The flow properties come from the chemistry of the admixture and not from water, so compressive strength is not negatively affected by the use of Concera admixtures, it said.
Ultimately, said GCP, control flow concrete solved the problem for reducing the tremendous physical effort, associated labour costs and time involved with using traditional concrete, without leaving concrete vulnerable to potential segregation.
For many projects requiring highly flowable concrete, control flow concrete was said to offer the best of both worlds – concrete that was easy to work with, without high concrete production costs and quality control costs.
This year, the Euromix concrete mixing plant made by SBM Mineral Processing is celebrating its 20th birthday.
Gerhard Gschwandtner, head of SBM's concrete technology, said, "Thanks to the challenging demands of our clients, the feedback of the plant operators, and the know-how of our qualified employees, SBM managed to develop Euromix to be the global market leader in its class.
"Its modular design, powerful performance and long life have been convincing all renowned concrete producers in Europe".
He added, "The first Euromix is still operating at full speed near Moscow. Reliable production of concrete at temperatures of -25° to 40°C, powerful 24/7 operation, the plug-and-play principle – ie the installation of the plant within 480 minutes – make Euromix a real trendsetter in the global market of super mobile concrete mixing plants."
The Ammann CBS 105 Elba plant used by GTP
An Ammann concrete mixing plant was chosen by GTP, an independent family company based in Cauchy-à-la-Tour near Béthune,France.
Housed in a former brickworks, the firm specialises in recycling various materials with a particular focus on road residues. With the aim of diversifying its activities, GTP turned its attention to ready-mixed concrete and the production of treated gravel to satisfy local demand, and also to meet its own production requirements.
The company wanted a high-quality stationary plant with capacity for expansion. It had to offer a variety of technical options as well as short delivery periods.
Following an invitation to tender, GTP narrowed its choice down to Ammann's concrete mixing plants. The CBS 105 Elba plant was selected because of its modular concept which allows adaptation of its components.
Designed to ensure production of standard concrete at 105m3/h, mixed in 30 seconds, this plant is currently equipped with four 80m3 aggregate storage silos. To expand the installation, the siting study envisages an additional aggregate silo in the near future to provide 100m3 in total, as well as a fourth 60 tonne binder silo.
These aggregates are transferred to the horizontal-shaft mixer with a volume of 2m3 via a skip. The mixing scaffolding is entirely galvanised to provide high-grade protection against corrosion. Ammann said that little maintenance work was required for the plant and in particular the mixer. Its trough shielding is fitted without screws, so servicing work is kept to the minimum.
The Ammann as1 automatic control system is said to provide production support and follow-through.
Arnaud Pruvo, president of GTP, said, "The as1 is an effective cornerstone of our efforts to ensure quality. This technology collects and processes data and key indicators that enable us to offer our customers reliable production while optimising consumption of raw materials and energy.
"For individual customers and multinationals alike, our plant is ready to provide a vast number of formulas for all types of use, ranging from standard concrete to technical concrete varieties and the new decorative concretes."
High performance concrete from LafargeHolcim has been used to line a 3.4km tunnel for the world's most powerful X-ray laser, European XFEL, near Hamburg, Germany.
High performance concrete from LafargeHolcim was needed at the European XFEL
The European XFEL generates extremely intense X-ray flashes. The flashes produced in underground tunnels allow scientists to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, and study the processes in the interior of planets.
LafargeHolcim, through its local company Holcim Deutschland, delivered specialist concrete for the facility's extensive underground tunnel system, including easy-to-pump heavy concrete for radioprotection and underwater concrete.
LafargeHolcim's concrete engineers also developed special concrete mixes specifically for European XFEL. These fulfilled the building contractor's requirements for reduced content of aluminium, natrum, silica and magnesium, which can traditionally be found in concrete and may have interfered with the highly sensitive measurements.
Some concrete mixes, for instance, required the use of special limestone chippings to deliver particularly low silica levels. Together with the contractor, the Group carried out extensive chemical and physical tests for every concrete mix to ensure the highest performance levels for the project could be reached.
The Turkish construction company YBT is renewing the runway at Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) in night stages from March to August 2018 and, for the first time, it is using an innovative Swiss solution – Concretum.
The Zurich company Concretum said its rapid concrete could be produced, transported and processed like a normal concrete, but then it hardened to a fully loadable surface within one hour, whereas regular concrete took days.
Successfully launched in 2010 for major infrastructure projects on the Swiss market, the rapid concrete has been used at Zurich Airport, in Switzerland, and in SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) repair projects.
Since 2016, Concretum has focused on international markets, and has now won its first order worth millions at an international airport.
A total of 535 concrete slabs measuring 5.0 x 3.75m and 40 to 55cm thick will be replaced on the runway at Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen Airport around 10,000m2.
YBT has five nights per week from 1am to 6am at its disposal. In these tight slots, up to 100m2 of runway must each be excavated and new concrete poured. The fast concrete Concretum Q-Flash 2/20 is workable for about 90 minutes and is said to reach the strength required for a fully-loaded passenger aircraft to land on it one hour later.
It is also said that compared to conventional concrete, this special concrete is also characterised by very high impermeability and resistance.
Andersson, "the most interesting segment right now is Concrete Surface & Floors"
At the Husqvarna Construction Division, president Henric Andersson said a new long-term growth strategy had been implemented.
He said, "We set a high goal, and agreed on the activities necessary to take us there, such as stepping up in emerging markets, expanding our offering into services, and making key acquisitions."
He said that to increase its focus, it had organised itself after its new, expanded market segmentation.
"Perhaps the most interesting segment right now is Concrete Surface & Floors, a segment that has grown considerably during the last two years," he said.
Among the acquisitions is Atlas Copco's business in light compaction and concrete placement equipment, which is being incorporated under the Husqvarna brand.
Husqvarna's new tamping rammers, soil and asphalt plate compactors, reversible plate compactors, duplex rollers, concrete vibrators, screeds and trowels will be available around the world. The products are already marketed globally under the Atlas Copco brand but will soon be Husqvarna branded.
The new concrete placement equipment range from Husqvarna includes internal vibrators, screeds and trowels. Soff-Cut early entry saws were already part of Husqvarna's total offer.

Thank you to all of our writers, guest writers, and readers that shared their birth stories as part of our Labor of Love series. It's been a difficult week for me with wildfires surrounding my home, and the birth stories provided me with moments of respite and love. From VBACS to home births, our experiences have varied but we've all been blessed with our children!
Three winners have been randomly selected for our Labor of Love Week Giveaway from our Eco Child's Play forum.
All day the contractions got more painful and intense. She had to wait for 40 second long contractions and we had been waiting all day for it. I should have got her to cut her nails earlier, for now I have open wounds on my back and hands. Girls got some grip! She would lean right into me and hold on tight when she got another wave. She shook in pain and her eyes squeezed tight. Wave after wave after wave… Now I know why they call it labour!
LaMamaNaturale won an Envirosax! She had an unassisted home birth, as her midwife was driving to her house when her child was born.
My husband called my mom to let her know what was going on. She then raced over to the house, and thank goodness she did because within 15 minutes of her arrival I started to contract harder and I could REALLY feel my uterus expand and release…it was the weirdest feeling ever but empowering at the same time. I was yelling at this point, that the baby was coming and that my hubby needed to get the water in the tub. Well everything happened so fast that it didn't get done in time because before I knew it- hubby was back on the phone with the midwife telling them that my contractions were right on target and that I felt the urge to push. All in a matter of a phone call, my mom looked back down at me and yelled out she saw Tristan's head. The midwife announced that I could continue pushing and that she was going to guide us through the phone. She was about 15 minutes from the house. My husband was scrambling to put her on speaker so she could assist me but before I could even hear her voice and as soon as she said prepare (all at the same time)…in 2 pushes Tristan William was born @ 9:44 AM. My mom and husband caught Tristan and laid him into my arms. I was so shocked that he had come so swift and fast. He nursed within the hour while we were still attached and we cut the cord an hour after birth. Looking back, I realize that so many things could have gone wrong and that we were lucky.
mamakerribell won a pair of IsaBooties. Her baby was late, and she tried acupuncture to get things going.
That afternoon I had an electro-acupuncture session with my acupuncturist, Jalashree at Blooma (my yoga studio) to help stimulate labor. Basically, they place the acupuncture needles in specific places on your body (ankles, lower back, hands, etc.) and attach electrodes to the needles which transmit a low electrical current to stimulate the acupoints. Jalashree started the session with a little backrub and then she put oil on my belly. That was heavenly! Just like my previous acupuncture sessions, the baby responded to the placement of the needles and when the electrical stimulation began, I could feel contractions. Acupuncture is very relaxing and I remember almost falling asleep during the session. I was very ready for labor and wanted it begin more than anything. After the session, the contractions continued for an hour or so but then subsided. However, that night they returned and were quite regular for over two hours. We began timing them and they stopped before we went to bed. I was so disappointed when I woke up the next day.
Thank you to everyone who shared their personal stories! We hope to have more series like this in the future, perhaps one on breastfeeding experiences. If you have a suggestion for a natural parenting series, please leave a comment to this post.

Antoine Terminio (1525-1580) fue un literato del Reino de Nápoles.

Biografía

Antoine nació en Contursi, conocido por sus sonetos, llamado por Génova para continuar los Anales de la República de Génova, comenzadas por el escritor Jacopo Bonfadio (1501-1550) Gli annali di Genova dall'1528, Génova, 1597, interrumpiendo sus trabajos una enfermedad.

Posteriormente, restablecido, prosigue sus investigaciones, y dejó otras obras, como una sobre los asientos (seggi), cierto lugar donde la nobleza napolitana depositaba sus títulos y deliberar asuntos públicos, institución de origen aristocrático respetada por la República de Nàpoles, suprimida por Fernando I de las Dos Sicilias, substituida por el libro de oro, despreciados los seggi de Portanova, Porto y Montagna en una de las obras de  Battista Caraffa, de una de las familias más antiguas y nobles de Nápoles, requiriendo Hannibal Coppola, caballero de Portanov, a Antoine la defensa de aquellos atacados por Caraffa, apología impresa por Tolentino, y también tres opúsculos partiendo de una recopilación de poesías sagradas o rima espiritual  de Ferrante Caraffa, marqués de San Lucido (1509-1587) y una traducción inédita de una obra del elegante historiador latino Bartolomeo Facio (-1457) sobre las gestas de Alfonso V de Aragón.

El historiador de Nápoles Camillo Tutini (1594-1670), quien se documentó de los archivos de la capital y de los monasterios, escribió un suplemento de los seggi escrita por Antoine Supplimento all' apologia de tre Seggi illustri di Napoli, Nápoles, 1643 y otra sobre los orígenes de los citados Dell' origine e fondazione de Seggi di Napoli,.., Nápoles, 1644.

Dead fish as a light source
Factual Questions
Peter_Morris September 29, 2021, 3:27am #1
I learned in another thread recently that rotting fish give off a glow, and were at one time used as a safe light source in coal mines. What are the logistics of this?
Questions I'd like to know include : How much light does a rotting fish give off? How many fish were required to light a dig? How long would the light last, before the fish needed replacement? Just how bad was the smell?
I'm guessing the fish were put in clear glass jars, to shed their glow in all directions, rather than kept in buckets, is this correct?
Anyone know this stuff?
Misread thread titles
mikecurtis September 29, 2021, 3:39am #2
I don't have answers to your direct questions, but I have seen bioluminescence in action and can verify that alot of light is given off.
Here's a video of surfing through a bioluminescent algae bloom. But these critters remain alive.
https://youtu.be/dz6ApIUNT3w
Princhester September 29, 2021, 4:21am #3
According to wikipedia dried fish skins were used.
From my admittedly tiny exposure to such bioluminescence, the amount of light given off is miniscule.
CalMeacham September 29, 2021, 3:27pm #4
Another early source of light was "foxwood", or wood having luminous fungi on it (also called "foxfire"). The fungi grow on decaying wood. When Ezra Lee piloted Bushnell's early submarine The Turtle against the British ship Eagle at night on Sept 6 1776, his instruments were illuminated with light from foxwood.

Heh. I remember a political foe likened to Henry Clay, a skilled and charismatic politician but perhaps not entirely honest, to a rotten mackerel by moonlight, "in that he both shined and stank."
Briny_Deep September 29, 2021, 6:15pm #8
This is fascinating, thanks.
I sometimes read a way-out blogger who theorizes that some ancient cultures had unexpectedly modern technologies like electricity. He pointed out the beautiful ceiling artwork deep in some Egyptian tombs, which is utterly free of soot from any fuel-burning light source, claiming that they must thus have had electric light. But perhaps they painted by foxfire or the (I'm-sure-completely-wholesome-seeming) glow of dead fish!
Briny_Deep:
I wrote an article about this in Optics and Photonics News in June of this year. It turns out that the claim that there's no soot is exaggerated, the suggestion that they had electric lights was originally made tongue-in-cheek, and it's not at all reasonable to think that they used a succession of mirrors to pipe light into the tombs. I'll add that the kind of luminous fungi and bacteria we're talking about here produce very weak light, and it's not "white" light by any means, so the colors would probably be way off. There's no doubt in my mind that the tombs were painted using not very sooty flame light sources.

This website (factfiend, don't know much about it) says that dried skins weren't stinky but didn't give off as much light as the stinky dead fish.
This left miners with pretty much two options, work in the dark, or grab a bunch of fish. Now for the people who didn't like the idea of working next to a rotting pile of dead fish, there was another, equally as fishy option. Skinning and then drying out a bunch of fish instead. You see, dried fish skins, like rotting fish also give off a form of bioluminescence known as phosphorescence. However, it's noted that doing this only gave off a tiny amount of light so insignificant it was likened to working in the dark anyway.
Banksiaman September 29, 2021, 9:09pm #12
Two trivia notes - for miners possibly otherwise working in pitch darkness, the light source is not really used to let you see what you are doing, its to orient you in the blackness. That is reason enough to tolerate the smell.
I've been watching The Terror, and it reminded me of an Inuit or Arctic fish-skin raincoat I saw in an ethnographic museum which was a spectacular garment [not the same one but best pic i found]. I wonder if they luminesce, and whether you stand out like a neon McDonalds sign for any hungry polar bear in the Arctic twilight.

Then there's this:
Dendera light
Stone reliefs in the Hathor temple at Dendera in Egypt, depict Harsomtus, in the form of a snake, emerging from a lotus flower (usually attached to the bow of a barge). A variation of this motif, the so-called dendera light, displays Harsomtus in an oval container called hn, which might represent the womb of Nut. Sometimes a djed pillar supports the snake or the container. A closely related motif is "god resting on the lotus flower". Each of the three objects consists of two reliefs. One half (...

When I went caving during my university days, carbide lamps were still the lamp of choice. LED lamps were still a way off, and incandescent lamps used batteries too fast, and were not generally considered robust enough.
Even on a dark night, a carbide lamp seemed a woefully inadequate source of light in the open air.
Underground, however, with pupils dilated and fully dark-adjusted, they were indeed more than adequate. The only issue was that they could go out when things got wet.
These days, LED lamps provide better reliability and light output for such environments.

RE Light Sources And Ancient Egypt
We know the ancient Egyptians had beer (there's a whole myth about Ra and Sekmet). IMH and uneducated O, it's not unreasonable to assume they had more potent forms of ethanol. IIRC, burning alcohol with a high enough proof produces a blue flame and no smoke. IMHO, I can also see whatever ruler comissioned the tomb and its mural saying 'All these torches and their smoke have left soot on the murals. Have the torches extinguished and have the workers clean the murals in the dark'
I have to log in to my work laptop now. I'll be back after 5. If I'm wrong, pleas be kind.
CalMeacham September 30, 2021, 5:09pm #17
DocCathode:
It sounds very reasonable to me.
There has been soot found in temples and tombs, as well as depictions of oil lamps, so the dilemma id somewhat false (see this page, for instance, and its references – https://www.ancientaliensdebunked.com/egyptian-light-bulb ).
Not all flames produce a lot of soot. We've been burning scented candles in our dining room for years without noticeably darkening the ceiling. Of course, modern paraffin, stearin, or soy candles are different from whatever the Egyptians may have used, but they had beeswax in addition to smoky beet fat candles, and oil lamps – the most likely light source used, as depicted on tomb reliefs, appropriately enough – can be pretty clean.

Primary Documents from John Jacobs
The Verschoyle Phillip Cronyn Memorial Archives at Huron College possesses a collection of primary sources and documents regarding John Jacobs, a nineteenth century Episcopal Priest. Jacobs was born in an Ojibwa family in 1845 in Fort Francis, Rupert's Land, but moved to southwestern Ontario at a young age. He performed the role of missionary at the Sarnia, Kettle Point and Walpole Island Reserves from 1870 until his death in 1897. Records from his death report that he was very well-respected among the communities he worked in, and was considered a man of devout faith.
Among the archive's collection on Jacobs are two documents that were hand-written by the reverend. The first is a record of sacraments and appointments in the church including baptism, confirmation, ordination and marriage. The second is a letter addressed to Rev. Dr. Cronyn, Lord Bishop of Huron informing him of his resignation from his missionary work in the Sarnia and Kettle Point Reserves. By examining other documents in the collection, it seems that Jacobs resigned from these positions to take up a new role in Walpole Island following the death of Rev. Jamieson.
Transcribing clergy personnel records gives insight into the ways in which Ojibwa people became deeply integrated into Christian churches in the nineteenth century. Many of the assignments and research projects our group has been working on relate to missionary work, and the ways in which Anishinaabeg people contributed to these efforts. Investigating the archive's clergy personnel records provides a good exercise in transcribing hand-written work, which will be useful when looking at rare book margin notes for our research projects.
