Parents: William Whiting and Elizabeth Jacobs (1)
Born: 1861(2)
Baptised: 29th September 1861 at St Mary's Church, Withersfield? (1)
Married: ?
Children: ?
Died: ?
Bio: Samuel was the first legitimate child of William and Elizabeth Whiting.
His birth is registered in Withersfield in 1861(2). What is slightly confusing is that there is no baptism recorded for him, yet there is one for a William Whiting son of William and Elizabeth in that year. There is however, no GRO birth record for William, unlike the one for Samuel. A confusion with names? I would suggest they are one and the same person. There is a son called William born in 1876.
At any rate, Samuel is the name given on the census in 1861. He is listed as being 2 months old and lives in Withersfield with his parents and half-siblings John and Susan.
The next census in 1871 finds the family still in Withersfield with Samuel's father William working as a labourer. The family now has four new additions, with a quota of seven children in total. John, Susan, Samuel, Caroline, Sarah, George and Mary Ann. Samuel is shown as a scholar here.
One interpretation of the evidence we have for Samuel after this point suggests his descent into criminal delinquency, but as is sometimes the case with tracing ancestors the problem we have with later sightings of him is proving a link back to his place of origin that will confirm his identity beyond reasonable doubt.
So what do we have? On the 1881 census there is a Samuel Whiting of the correct age, birthplace given as Haverhill, single, working as a labourer and staying as a boarder at the 'Britannia' Pub in Hornchurch, Essex. This was a large Inn which stood on the corner of High Street and North Street and was said to be one of the oldest buildings in the town. It survived until the late 1930's.
On this census, the Inn is run by Eliza Bridge, 56, a beerseller born in Mountnessing, and with her is her niece Eliza Sewell, 14, and two visitors, James Sewell, 79 who is a widower, and Sarah Steward, 63. There are four boarders, all single labourers, other than Samuel. They are Herbert Reeves, 30, Francis Williams, 33, Christopher Finch, 29, and Charles Tunbridge, 30.
The only other Samuel Whiting with a Haverhill connection was a fair bit older than this Samuel and he is accounted for on this census. It seems to me to be a good fit for the Samuel from Withersfield. Haverhill was, after all, the closest large town and it does not seem that unusual that he might refer to it as his place of origin for census purposes.
After this, the census-trail runs dry. No more entries for a Samuel Whiting of an appropriate age from the Withersfield/Haverhill area.
What we do get, however, is the mention of a Samuel Whiting from the Hornchurch area indicted on 29th November 1888(3) for the charge of stealing two live fowls. (see newspaper article on the left) It is interesting that he was previously going under the alias Holmes. The judge is outraged because apparently Samuel has already served 12 months in jail for a similar offence and that this offence was actually committed earlier than the one for which he had already served time. The result is he gets a cursory sentence of a few days after which he is to be discharged.
Could this be the same Samuel as was staying at the Britannia? The age is the same, as is the Hornchurch connection and the occupation of labourer. It seems likely.
What becomes clear is that Samuel Whiting was previously going under the name Alfred Holmes, and it is this pseudonym with which he is tried and convicted for fowl stealing with an accomplice in Upminster the previous year.(4) (second newspaper article at left). At the time of this conviction at the Chelmsford Quarter Sessions on 29th November 1887 under the name of Alfred Holmes it is mentioned he had a previous conviction for felony.(6)
It transpires that he had also served two calendar months of hard labour in 1884 for stealing three live turkeys. His alias here had been Alfred Holmes, but his correct name was given as Samuel White. He was convicted on 3rd January 1884 at the Havering-Atte-Bower Sessions in Essex.(5)
If this person is indeed our Samuel Whiting then it is no wonder he is so hard to pin down. Not only had he been using other names, but as the first newspaper article stated he had been absent from the area after his 1887 offence.
There is no further trace of Samuel I can find. If the fowl-stealer was indeed him, maybe he reinvented himself again. Name-changing might have become a hard habit to drop.
It is interesting that there is no mention of a son Samuel when his widowed mother Elizabeth's kin are recorded by the Risbridge Poor Law Union on 17th May 1907.

Simbach ist ein Gemeindeteil der Stadt Berching im Landkreis Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. Der Ort hat 35 Einwohner und hat mit dem Weiler Matzenhof 13 Anwesen.

Lage
Das Kirchdorf Simbach liegt ca. 6,5 Kilometer nordöstlich von Berching auf der südlichen Frankenalb am westlichen Talhang zur Weißen Laber und rund 3,5 Kilometer nördlich des Pfarrdorfes Holnstein.

Geschichte
In einer Urkunde des Klosters Weihenstephan wurde Simbach im Jahr 1138 als Sinnebach erstmals erwähnt. Ein Erchinprecht de Sinnebach wird in der Urkunde angeführt.

1157 wird Erchinprecht de Sinnebach wiederum in einer Urkunde des Burggrafen von Nürnberg erwähnt, in der dieser im Auftrag von Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa Güter an das Kloster Plankstetten übergibt. Es werden dabei ein Hartwich und sein Bruder Marquard de Sinnebach als Zeugen aufgeführt.

1259 wird ein Hartwicus de Sinnebach als Zeuge in einer Urkunde genannt. 1312 vergleicht sich ein Hertwich von Sinnebach mit Bischof Philipp von Eichstätt über die Lehen des "Ülrich von Eysenbrehtzdorf".

Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde der Ort schwer verwüstet, nur zwei Anwesen blieben verschont.

Die Kirche St. Maria wurde im Jahr 1765 von Martin Plänkl nach Plänen des Eichstätter Hofbildhauers und Stuckateurs Johann Jakob Berg erbaut. Dem barocken Zentralbau ist ein nach Osten gerichteter Chor angefügt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Saalbau mit segmentbogig ausgreifenden Längsseiten, eingezogener, stichbogig schließender Apsis, Pilasterportal und einem Flankenturm mit Glockenhaube und Zwiebel. Die Innendekoration der Kirche ist im Stil des Rokoko ausgeführt. Die Schnitzereien an der Kommunionbank und an den Stuhlwangen der Kirchenstühle stammen aus dem Jahr 1774. Den Altar mit vier Säulen und sechs Engelsfiguren schuf 1797 der Schreiner und Bildhauer Andreas Wexler aus Berching.

Simbach gehörte zur Gemeinde Altmannsberg, diese wurde im Jahr 1972 im Zuge der Gebietsreform nach Holnstein eingemeindet. 1978 erfolgte die Eingemeindung von Holnstein in die Stadt Berching.

Home Entertainment SEGA was the best video game publisher of 2020
SEGA was the best video game publisher of 2020
Yakuza: Like a Dragon, 13 Sentinels, and Persona 5 Royal allow SEGA to become the top-rated editor on Metacritic last year.
Metacritic has published its annual report of the best video game publishers of the year 2020 based on the sum of average marks of the famous aggregator portal. After calculating the importance of the published titles based on different parameters, the final sum places SEGA as the best company as publisher of the past year thanks to works such as Yakuza: Like a Dragon, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Person 5 Royal.
Apart from SEGA, the table leaves Annapurna Interactive very close, whose vision of the medium is allowing this emerging company to also establish its seal and brand image: video games with a marked narrative component, sometimes dreamlike and captivating. In 2020 they commissioned works such as Kentucky Route Zero or The Pathless.
In third place is Capcom, which with Resident Evil 3 Remake, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne rise compared to last year, when they qualified fifth. In fourth position was Sony (PlayStation), followed by Activision Blizzard, Microsoft, Aksys Games, No More Robots, Nintendo and Devolver Digital.
What is Metacritic's methodology to score each company?
It is interesting to know how Metacritic processes all the information when making these rankings; Well, not all titles compute and minimum standards must be guaranteed for a video game to add up to the average score. These four criteria are followed:
Average score of all games published in 2020 (average rating x 1.5); the maximum is 150 points.
Percentage of games with scores with a mean higher than 75. 91% of good games compute 91 points. The maximum, however, is 100 points.
Percentage of games with poor scores or failed scores (all that remains from 49 out of 100). If you have 30% bad games it is 70 points; 10% of bad games gives you 90 points.
Total outstanding games, with an average score of 90 or more than 90; you need to have a minimum of 7 media scans for it to count. Add 5 extra points for each game scored with 90 or more of that note.

History of life on Earth
Pangea Supercontinent from space, as it may have looked 300 million years ago.
The Earth is a little over 4.5 billion years old, its oldest materials being 4.3 billion-year-old zircon crystals. Its earliest times were geologically violent, and it suffered constant bombardment from meteorites. When this ended, the Earth cooled and its surface solidified to a crust – the first solid rocks. There were no continents as yet, just a global ocean peppered with small islands. Erosion, sedimentation and volcanic activity – possibly assisted by more meteor impacts – eventually created small proto-continents which grew until they reached roughly their current size 2.5 billion years ago. The continents have since repeatedly collided and been torn apart, so maps of Earth in the distant past are quite different to today's.
The history of life on Earth began about 3.8 billion years ago, initially with single-celled prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria. Multicellular life evolved over a billion years later and it's only in the last 570 million years that the kind of life forms we are familiar with began to evolve, starting with arthropods, followed by fish 530 million years ago (Ma), land plants 475Ma and forests 385Ma. Mammals didn't evolve until 200Ma and our own species, Homo sapiens, only 200,000 years ago. So humans have been around for a mere 0.004% of the Earth's history.

Geological timeline
During its dramatic 4.5 billion year history, Earth has gone through a series of major geological and biological changes. The timescale below highlights a number of notable prehistoric events and the geological periods in which they occurred. As things didn't get interesting from a biological perspective until around 570 million years ago, we've included a couple of zoomed in timelines to show the detail of more recent evolutionary history.

Geological time periods
Geologists have organised the history of the Earth into a timescale on which large chunks of time are called periods and smaller ones called epochs. Each period is separated by a major geological or palaeontological event, such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs which occurred at the boundary between the Cretaceous period and the Paleocene epoch.
Archean era 3.8 billion–2.5 billion years ago
Cryogenian period 850 million–635 million years ago
Ediacaran period 635 million–545 million years ago
Cambrian period 545 million–495 million years ago

Palaeocene epoch 65 million–54.8 million years ago
Eocene epoch 54.8 million–33.7 million years ago
Oligocene epoch 33.7 million–23.8 million years ago
Miocene epoch 23.8 million–5.3 million years ago
Pliocene epoch 5.3 million–2.6 million years ago
Pleistocene epoch 2.6 million–11.7 thousand years ago
Holocene epoch 11.7 thousand years ago–present day
Big Five mass extinction events
Although the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event is the most well-known because it wiped out the dinosaurs, a series of other mass extinction events has occurred throughout the history of the Earth, some even more devastating than K-T. Mass extinctions are periods in Earth's history when abnormally large numbers of species die out simultaneously or within a limited time frame. The most severe occurred at the end of the Permian period when 96% of all species perished. This along with K-T are two of the Big Five mass extinctions, each of which wiped out at least half of all species. Many smaller scale mass extinctions have occurred, indeed the disappearance of many animals and plants at the hands of man in prehistoric, historic and modern times will eventually show up in the fossil record as mass extinctions. Discover more about Earth's major extinction events below.
Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction 443 million years ago
Late Devonian mass extinction 359 million years ago
Permian mass extinction 248 million years ago
Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction 200 million years ago
Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction 65 million years ago
Mass extinction theories
Asteroid impacts, climate change, volcanoes – there have been many theories about the causes of mass extinctions. In some cases, such as the Cretaceous mass extinction event, more than one such factor was involved in the global catastrophe.
Catastrophic methane release
Flood basalt eruptions
Impact events
Ancient Earth habitats
If you were able to travel back far in time, you'd find Earth to be a very different place – at times a giant hot molten ball of rock, at others a frozen planet completely covered in snow and ice. During its long history, Earth has been covered by habitats and experienced climates that no longer exist. Discover more about these and about the dramatic story of ancient Earth.

Sprint loses more phone subscribers than feared in fourth quarter
Akanksha Rana, Angela Moon
(Reuters) - Sprint Corp on Tuesday reported deeper losses than feared of monthly phone subscribers despite discount offerings, raising concerns that the wireless carrier may not be sustainable if its pending merger with T-Mobile is not approved.
FILE PHOTO: A woman walks past a Sprint store in New York City, U.S., April 27, 2018. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo
Sprint said it lost a net 189,000 phone subscribers during its fiscal fourth quarter. Analysts were expecting a net loss of 117,000, according to research firm FactSet. Sprint shares fell more than 4 percent in extended trade.
The U.S. telecommunications firm, which is backed by Japan's Softbank, also reported a worse-than-expected quarterly loss of 4 cents per share. Analysts were expecting a loss of 1 cent per share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
"Sprint won't survive as a stand-alone company with their current capital structure," said Jonathan Chaplin, analyst at New Street Research.
"If the T-Mobile acquisition is blocked, Sprint will need to find another deal. If they can't find another deal they will likely need to restructure sooner or later. I have a hard time imagining anyone wanting to buy Sprint."
Sprint and T-Mobile U.S. Inc are awaiting regulatory approval on their planned $26 billion merger, which is expected to help Sprint boost its investments in 5G, the next generation of wireless, and shed the negative perception of its network quality.
Last month, the two companies extended the deadline for completing their proposed deal to July 29 as the U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division chief said he had not decided whether to approve the transaction.
Sprint, in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission on April 15, warned it is unlikely to play a meaningful competitive role as a standalone company in the years to come.
Sprint's total net operating revenue rose 4.4 percent to $8.44 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31, up from $8.08 billion a year ago. Analysts had expected revenue of $8.21 billion.
Sprint, in a post-earnings call with earnings, declined to provide a full-year outlook for fiscal 2019 because it is in the late stage of its merger with T-Mobile.
Sprint's shares had closed up 0.9 percent at $5.79 in regular trade ahead of the results.
T-Mobile and Sprint are the No. 3 and No. 4 wireless carriers, respectively, in the United States behind Verizon Communications and AT&T.

The latest book I've read is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The movie coming out prompted my book club to pick it as our first book this school year. I haven't watched the movie so I have no idea how similar or dissimilar they are. I, however, did find out after buying this book that it is the first in a trilogy.
The book follows protagonist Jacob, a teenage boy. He grew up being very close to his grandfather who would tell him stories about monsters. As he grew older, he stopped believing in his grandfather's stories because there was no way they could be true so he chalked it up to make believe stories adults tell to children for entertainment. It didn't help that his grandfather was getting older and becoming "crazier". When he finds his grandfather dying, he thinks he sees something in the woods but doesn't know what or if he's just seeing things. This leads him on an adventure to Wales to find out more about his grandfather's past and leads him to Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children. There he discovers so much he didn't know about his grandfather as well as the world such as monsters do exist and so do time loops.
I thought the book was interesting but it didn't have me dying to find out what would happen next. In fact, I would put the book down for days or a week or two at a time before picking it back up again. The book has a great premise and some really cool ideas but it just couldn't capture my undivided attention.
I see this book in two totally different ways. On the one hand I would say it's for a younger audience than the typical YA novel – like middle school age because some of the dialogue is not very sophisticated. But then, on the other hand some of the concepts (such as time loops) in the novel are pretty intriguing and advanced that it would prompt me to recommend it for high school. It's interesting and maybe a little weird that the language in the book can be more low level yet have content that is much higher level.
I read that the author, Ransom Riggs, was inspired to write this novel through old photographs he found at garage sales and flea markets, etc. The kind of old pictures that look a little weird – think old photos from freak shows and creepy Santa pictures from decades ago. He sprinkled in photos throughout the novel and I'm not going to lie, some of them really creeped me out! If I was reading before bed, I would make a point to not look at the photos!
Overall, I thought the book was okay. Knowing that there are 2 more books makes the novel make more sense because this novel is essentially setting up the story. I'm not dying to read the next two books, but I do still want to know what happens to the characters so I plan to read the rest of the trilogy at some point, but probably not anytime too soon. There are a few other things I want to read first. When I do read them I will write and let you know what I think and if my thoughts on the series has changed!
I'll leave this post with a quote I really liked from this novel.

Such an amazing birth story! It's called delayed interval delivery- and it's happened to Sydney mother Danielle Paull. Her twin daughter Sadie was born prematurely on 26 October, and the family is awaiting the birth of Sadie's twin brother – expected any time from now.
This miracle birth took place at the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick when she was just 24 weeks pregnant, having started to dilate at 19 weeks to 4cm but holding on. The babies developed in their own individual sacs and placentas inside the mother, meaning they grow together, side by side, but can be born separately. The baby boy is now awaiting his turn.
For 2 weeks, Sadie lived in an incubator in the hospital's $100,000 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) that is reliant on donations and helps around 600 babies a year. She is being fed donated breast milk, flown in from QLD, as milk expressed from Danielle at this point might bring on the premature birth of the remaining twin.
Danielle said her and her husband had been researching delayed interval delivery and had discovered a woman in Ireland who gave birth to twins an incredible 87 days apart.
Only time will tell how many days and weeks apart these twin siblings will be!

I purchased them from Sunglass Hut which is an authorized dealer of Ray-Ban among others. I really never looked at the markings closely inside the store but when I took them home to my surprise they say made in China.
Yeah Luxottica, the parent company of Ray Ban, has one factory in Italy and one in China. So certain models are now made in China. It is their own factory though, so it's not just random outsourcing.
On the China note, my friend's father works for a company that installs giant machine belts, and he's been in China for the last few years going non-stop to oversee factory after factory be set up. My friend visited him, and said the scene is something out of Bladerunner. It's just endless factories and smoke stacks reaching out just as far as the eye can see, and beyond that is the outline of cranes, building new factories.
At some point the current trend of sending all the world's cash and capital to China in exchange for plastic back-scratchers is going to seem like an unwise one.
I was doing some research on Luxottica last night and came across that same information regarding their factories in Italy and China. They say they have full control of the China factory which is the up most importance. As I can tell from my made in China Ray-Bans the quality is still the same which is excellent. The RB3362 is noted to be one of those made over there. I am still under the impression most are still made in Italy.
I'm not concerned over quality issues with made in China goods from companies that know what they are doing but it's a shame that the once great pride we had in building the best manufactured products in the world built to the highest of standards has gone down the toilet. Now the key question is how cheaply can we manufacturer our products?
Not to mention the movement of capital and jobs, the US at the end of the day are also deep in debt in their pockets. They have North America by the balls.

French designer Alberto Pinto sure knows how to spice up any tabletop.
His Lagon collection absolutely has me swooning with the perfect combinations of blues, turquoise, and oranges. I can only imagine the possibilities for entertaining, decorations, bookshelf displays -- the possibilities for this pattern are endless!
Such fun geometric shapes -- and how easily you could mix and match!
I am not usually drawn to florally patterns but Alberto's even caught my eye!
