Kamal Arafa
Manchester based singer/songwriter, Kamal Arafa made five solo albums before forming 'The Moonlight Band' in 2007. The band gained popularity in and around Manchester and eventually played a slot on Glastonbury's Avalon stage in 2011. The band split shortly after this. Kamal continued to write on his own until 2012 when he teamed up with three friends to record a Christmas song, "It's Christmas Time Again," a project affectionately referred to as, "the winter project". The band continued to write and perform together as, 'Winter Project,' even recording a version of Kamal's, "Longford Park". After two years of gigging in Manchester, the band went their separate ways and Kamal returned to his solo work.
Kamal finished work on his latest album, "Forever Deformed By Love," at the end of 2019. It was released in early January of this year. On the 27th March, Kamal will perform the whole album live, with a full band, including long time collaborators, Alan Lowles and Rachel Ward.
Soaring and effortless; Kamal's heart warming and sometimes bizarre tales envelope your soul. He possesses worldliness and a wry songwriting style that is both thoughtful and tender. Think Rufus Wainwright meets Devendra Banhart.

The church of punditry
It's so difficult to write about Ann Coulter. Sometimes I think that those of us who do are all pawns in her game of making hoards of money. Having read her first book -- which was harsh but not a bad read at all -- I have come to the conclusion that she writes them and then inserts completely over the top and uncharitable statements at the last minute. This is for the sole purpose of having the mainstream media get outraged and bring her on the air to discuss it. She then goes home and watches the Amazon counter spin out of control. I do have to admit that one of her columns still makes me laugh when I think of it. She was asked to opine about the Democratic Convention in 2004 for USA Today. She writes a typical Coulter column that the paper refuses to run. She had the column and the edits on her website for a while, but I couldn't find them today. They were hilarious for revealing the profound disconnect between Ann's populist-conservative philosophy and mainstream editors. Here was a sample I found from an old webpage:
Looking at the line-up of speakers at the Convention, I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We'll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will be empty, and he'll be explaining how three 11-year olds came in and asked for the money and he gave it to them.
USA Today editor: I DON'T GET IT.
Not that her inability to take edits isn't notorious. Anyway, Coulter's new book argues that liberalism is a godless religion -- a fascinating thesis. But media types were too busy acting aghast at her remarks about 9/11 widows to get to what she was saying. Which is a shame, since her books are read by many.
In comes Charlotte Allen, who wrote recently the surprisingly blunt piece in the Los Angeles Times on membership declines of mainstream Christian churches:
You want to have gay sex? Be a female bishop? Change God's name to Sophia? Go ahead. The just-elected Episcopal presiding bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, is a one-woman combination of all these things, having voted for [Gene] Robinson, blessed same-sex couples in her Nevada diocese, prayed to a female Jesus at the Columbus convention and invited former Newark, N.J., bishop John Shelby Spong, famous for denying Christ's divinity, to address her priests.
When a church doesn't take itself seriously, neither do its members. . . .
When your religion says "whatever" on doctrinal matters, regards Jesus as just another wise teacher, refuses on principle to evangelize and lets you do pretty much what you want, it's a short step to deciding that one of the things you don't want to do is get up on Sunday morning and go to church.
So that's Charlotte Allen. Not exactly an apologist for godlessness. Which is why the interview, which it appears they conducted by e-mail, was so interesting. It's a tough interview, and as Allen asks Coulter to defend her thesis, we get to see a bit of the difference between two women who oppose relativism. Here are a few of the questions and answers:
We've done some polls here at Beliefnet, and a surprising number of Democrats at least say they are religious. Some 61 percent say they pray daily and 72 percent attend worship services once a month or more. How would you explain that?
Just curious: What percentage of them know which Testament the Book of Job is in?
You say you're a Christian. Do you think Jesus would want you to be nicer to your political opponents?
Who knows? Maybe He'll say I was too tough or maybe He'll chastise me for not being tough enough on those who hate Him. Ask the money-changers in the temple how "nice" Jesus was. Maybe He'll say I needed more jokes or fewer adjectives. I'll just apologize for not getting it right and thank him for dying for my sins.
What does it mean to be a good Christian, and do you consider yourself to be a good Christian?
To believe with all your heart at every moment that God loved a wretch like you so much that he sent his only son to die for your sins. Most of the time, I'm an extraordinarily good Christian.
It's a pretty interesting read, both in terms of the questions and the answers.

The Giants of Shorts: An Interview with Cindy Birch
Lydia Plantamura,September 2016
The development of the internet over the last couple of decades has created a world where information can be spread farther and farther, faster and faster. While the debate on shortening attention spans continues, one positive result is the rise of the short film. Although short films have been a part of cinema since its birth, the feature has long dominated the field. Dedicated to honoring the underdog of film, The Short Film Awards, known as The SOFIES, will hold its third annual event December 9, 10, and 11, 2016 at Symphony Space, Broadway, NY. Film Matters's intern, Lydia Plantamura interviews SOFIE founder, Cindy Birch, about the award ceremony and the importance of recognizing "giants" among short subject works.

Text means less queueing before take-off
Jetstar to trial a world-first mobile phone technology that issues boarding passes via SMS.
Garry Barker 08 November, 2009 22:00
Low fare airline Jetstar is about to trial a world-first mobile phone technology that issues boarding passes via SMS. In a bid to reduce check-in times and long queues, the SMS "passes" can be scanned electronically from the phone's screen at the departure gate. The SMS boarding pass was developed during the past six months by the Sissit Group, which was set up in Melbourne in early 2008 to work on airport immigration and other services.
The company's 22-year-old chief executive, Aaron Hornlimann, says the agreement with Jetstar is exclusive in Australia and New Zealand but a number of Asian and Middle Eastern airlines have also shown interest in the technology.
The product analyses the alphanumeric codes included in the SMS and relates them to the airline's database where flight and passenger information is assembled.
Unlike other electronic boarding pass systems, the Sissit SMS pass does not carry all the passenger's information but relates the pass number to details in the airline database. This, Hornlimann says, makes his system much more secure.
The system is also compatible with "at least 98 per cent" of mobile phones in the market.
Trials will start this month with passengers on domestic flights originating at Melbourne's Avalon airport. A successful trial would see the system rolled out across the full Jetstar domestic network by the end of the year, an airline spokeswoman says. Later, it could be introduced in other markets, including Jetstar's domestic services in New Zealand.
The chief executive of Jetstar, Bruce Buchanan, says getting a boarding pass for a domestic flight would be "as simple as receiving a standard text message 24 hours prior to travel and having that SMS message electronically scanned at the gate, if you do not have bags to check in". The system would improve efficiency at the airport by freeing ground staff to "get on with the job of processing checked-in baggage", he says.
During trials of the SMS system, passengers who use Jetstar's online Web Check-in system will be given the option of having their boarding pass and unique boarding code delivered to their phone by SMS.
Some airlines overseas use a similar system but require passengers to have more expensive and less common WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) or internet-enabled smartphones. The Jetstar system will work with any mobile handset capable of receiving SMS texts. Sydney Morning Herald

CES 2020: virtual reality, artificial intelligence and a small glimpse of the future
Fox News 14 January 2020

Flying taxis, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and even a new energy drink were among the products that graced the convention floor at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
You can find yourself spending hours walking the seemingly endless halls filled with the latest technology propelling the world into the future. And, while it's virtually impossible to see everything that CES has to offer, below are just a few items that caught the eye of Fox News.
SEGWAY S-POD
Instead of standing, the Segway S-Pod takes comfort one step further by allowing the user to sit, shifting their center of gravity for a smooth ride that is eerily reminiscent of the hover chairs in the popular Pixar movie, "Wall-E."
The S-Pod can reach up to 24 mph. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
"It is the first-class transporting pod designed for everybody. So, we are envisioning this as part of the future of this smart city," Jeff Wu, marketing and growth lead at Segway told Fox News. "We can see it in enclosed campuses, in our shopping malls and the airport, for example."
After the chair finds its center of gravity, the user can glide around up to 24 miles per hour navigating with a simple joystick. The S-pod can travel up to 43 miles on a single charge.
Wu said the inspiration behind the design came from the gyro sphere featured in the 2015 "Jurassic World" movie starring Chris Pratt, telling Fox News it "really feels like they are flying, levitating when they are navigating" the S-Pod.
There is currently no price point set for the S-pod but it will be available for consumers in 2021.
"Starting off it will definitely be more of private use in enclosed campuses, but essentially in the future, maybe, you know, for the rideshare pickup, people will be able to use their cell phone to call something like a Segway as part to pick them up to complete a transportation from A to B," Wu told Fox News, adding that there is more exciting news to come soon.
HACHI INFINITE
Forget lugging that bulky computer around.
The Hachi Infinite can turn any flat surface into a computer. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
The Hachi Infinite can turn any flat surface into a fully-interactive touch screen computer, equipped with web-browsing, Microsoft Word and Excel.
"It has built-in Android OS 9.0 … It's a computer. It works just like a tablet or your phone on any flat surface," Hannah Wilkinson, marketing for Hachi told Fox News. "You can use Microsoft Word, you can use YouTube, you can search the Internet, you can play Candy Crush, you can do anything on this — anything you could do on a computer or your phone."
It essentially looks like a portable mini projector and has brightness sensors so it can be used indoors and outdoors, even on a sunny day.
In addition to functioning like a computer, the device can flip on its other side to be used as the ultimate movie viewing experience with a 120 inch HD display and an ultra-short throw DLP built-in," Wilkinson said.
The Hachi Infinite also has built-in artificial intelligence capabilities, including the ability to identify foods and offer up unique dinner recipes centered around that identified item.
"There's already three A.I. functionalities built right into it — So, it can recognize objects and uses deep learning algorithms. There's a variety of learning experiences for children, cooking experiences — it can recognize any kind of fruit or vegetable in front of it and tell you the nutritional information, tell you recipes you can use with it," Wilkinson said, adding that "Hachi is developing a number of apps that work with A.I. functionalities."
COKE ENERGY
An energy drink that tastes like your favorite soda … no wonder it made it onto the CES floor.
Coca-Cola Energy hits shelves on January 20th. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
Coca-Cola is trying to shake-up the buzzing energy drink market with its own tasty concoction. No longer does one have to choose between an energy drink or a soda to provide that much-needed caffeine boost throughout the day, because Coca-Cola has come up with the solution – Coca-Cola Energy.
"Coca-Cola has always looked at a consumer-focused approach to innovation, and as we learned about consumers and what they were looking for in the US, we learned that they love Coca-Cola. They love the uplift of Coke," Jaideep Kive, vice president for Coca-Cola trademark in the United States told Fox News. "But there are moments in their day when they want that extra boost, but they want it in a way that's familiar and approachable — and that's how Coke Energy was born."
The new beverage unveiled at this year's CES comes in four flavors: Coca-Cola Energy, Coca-Cola Energy Zero, Coca-Cola Energy Cherry and Coca-Cola Energy Cherry Zero.
A regular Coke is about 34 grams of caffeine, but the recipe for this [Coca-Cola Energy} is like that of an energy drink. So it does have 114 grams of caffeine. It has Guarana and it has B vitamins," Kive said. "So, it's comparable to all the leading energy drinks, but it has the familiar and approachable taste of Coca-Cola, which people know and love."
Coke partnered with Amazon's Alexa to create an interactive booth that allowed CES attendees to get some of the first sips of the new energy drink that is set to hit the market on January 20th.
"Coca-Cola has always been at the forefront of innovation. Our choices have always been driven not by ourselves, but by what our consumers were looking for," Kive said. "And when you look at the energy category around the world, and most especially in the U.S., there's a lot of growth, there's a lot of need thanks to our modern-day lifestyles for that extra boost and an extra kick."
While companies have made great strides in virtual reality gaming, there are limitations to how truly "interactive" the experience can be when you're confined certain amount of space – whether you're playing inside an apartment or at an arcade.
Cybershoes allows users to run and walk-in virtual reality games. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
Cybershoes might just be the first step into figuring out a solution to adding another layer into immersing the user into the game.
For about $360 gamers can purchase the Cybershoes Gaming Station, which includes the shoes along with a cyberchair and cybercarpet.
The Cybershoes strap on over your normal footwear and have a wheel attached to the bottom allowing the user to sit in the cyberchair and mimic walking/running while remaining sit. The motions then translate into the game and voila! no more stationary gaming – and it is actually quite the workout!
HYUNDAI S-A1 FLYING TAXI
Traffic jams and flat tires might soon be a thing of the past, as Hyundai and Uber Elevate are teaming up to offer a new way to travel.
Hyundai unveiled its full-scale concept Urban Mobility Vehicle dubbed the S-A1, which essentially looks like a souped-up helicopter that Uber will use for its flying taxi service.
"This is a game-changer for the aerospace industry because historically production rates have been fairly low in aviation. When you bring the capabilities of an automaker to this sector, it creates an opportunity for scale as it relates to the production and that can make sure that technology gets in the hands of more people around the world," Wyatt Smith, head of business development of Uber Elevate told Fox News.
Uber Air would work similarly to how Uber operates now – with a push of a button a car would pick you up and take you to a Skyport where an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle is waiting to fly you to the next hub most proximate to your destination. The passenger will then hop in another car that will take them the rest of the way.
The S-A1 would just be one component of the urban air mobility ecosystem connecting the whole network together to allow passengers to get from point A to B.
While this might all sound farfetched and lightyears away, both Hyundai and Uber expect the next form of consumer transportation to hit the market within the next decade.
TRUMEDIC'S $5,500 MASSAGE CHAIR
TruMedic's InstaShiatsu+ Massage Chairs can be found in celebrity homes like the Kardashians, but it'll cost you a pretty penny.
TruMedic's InstaShiatsu+ Massage Chairs range in price from a few hundred dollars up to $5,500. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
If you have a few thousand dollars and want to be pampered like a celebrity, the full-body massage chair will do the trick – from your arms to your waist to your neck and shoulders, this chair does it all. However, there are less expensive options that don't come with as many bells and whistles.
Prices range from as low as $400 to as high as $5,500.
In addition to the massage chairs, truMedic offers a cheaper but just as effective option dubbed the MagicHands truShiatsu Neck and Back Massager which has deep-kneading massage nodes that act like a human "thumb" to help penetrate sore muscles or offer an effective pre-workout warmup. The Magichands retail for $299.95 and is a favorite among celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Lily Aldridge, Joan Smalls, Winnie Harlow.
MagicHands truShiatsu Neck and Back was selected for Oprah's Favorite Things in December 2019. (Ben Brown / Fox News)
MagicHands was also selected for Oprah's Favorite Things in December 2019.
"We're pioneering the category of 'Intelligent Wellness,' and in doing so, truMedic is creating a world beyond relief," Russell Izzo, truMedic CEO said. "With our newest innovations, consumers will experience amazing new designs with cutting edge form and functionality that deliver ultimate relaxation and recovery in the comfort of their homes and on-the-go. We spent years delighting customers with our quality and commitment to this category and we are excited to be leading its evolution into the next decade."

New moms have recently taken a greater interest in consuming their placenta after birth, with celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian touting possible benefits from improving lactation and increasing skin elasticity to decreasing the risk of postpartum depression. But according to new research, there is no data to support any of these claims.
A Northwestern Medicine review of previously published studies showed that whether consumed raw, cooked, or in pill form, there are no proven, tangible benefits to consuming the placenta. Perhaps more importantly, the risk level of doing so is currently unknown, so moms may be putting themselves (and their babies, if they are breastfeeding) in harm's way by consuming afterbirth.
Coyle hopes this news will encourage doctors to help their patients make informed decisions.

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Western Africa approximately on 1725. Your profession was dancer, singer, and actor.
As a ruthless character, you carefully weighed your decisions in critical situations, with excellent self-control and strong will. Generally liked, but not always loved. Your lesson - to combat violence and disharmony in our world, to understand its roots and origins. All global problems have similar origins.

QUESTION: John calls in from Knoxville, TN. He makes $80,000 a year, and he wonders how much money he will need to live comfortably after retirement. Dave gives him a quick way to determine this figure, along with some other advice to help make crunching the numbers a little bit easier.
ANSWER: A good rule of thumb, if you've got your money invested in good growth stock mutual funds, is to pull from those funds at a rate that is lower than which they are growing. Otherwise, you'll destroy them, right?
I tell folks if they want to pull off six percent to eight percent — I'm comfortable doing eight percent — then you've got to decide exactly how much you want to live on and what that means for your nest egg. If you want to live on $80,000 a year, it means you have to have a $1 million nest egg. If you want to live on $40,000 a year, then you need a half-million dollar nest egg for what we're talking about here.
To get into that a little bit further, the best thing to do is go to Chris Hogan's website. He's got a quick tool on there that takes about 10 or 15 minutes to walk through. It will give you exact numbers on what you need to do. It's ChrisHogan360.com, and the tool is called the R:IQ — your Retire Inspired Quotient. You ask what your number is, and that's what it will give you in detail. You can walk through it, really dig into it, and in just a few minutes you'll know exactly what's going on and you'll have things lined up.
I'll send you a copy of Chris's book as well. It's called Retire Inspired, and it'll help you do this.


A word coined in Britain in 1895, brunch crossed the pond to become an American tradition. And why wouldn't it? Sleeping in and then enjoying a hearty meal with family and friends is a great idea.
In Philadelphia, every type of food is brunch-worthy: pancakes or French toast, eggs, pasta, sliced meats, fruits and vegetables. You name it, you can have it. Sit back and enjoy these Philadelphia favorites.
Come for the meal, stay for the view. The rooftop lounge at the Logan Hotel began serving weekend brunch earlier this year, offering small plates, cocktails and sweeping panoramas of the Parkway and Logan Circle. The sweet and savory menu features 10 selections such as sweet toast (banana bread with Nutella and nut crunch) and a chef's special charcuterie plate as well as a drink menu with assorted wines and brunch cocktails.
Brunch at this historic, refurbished factory in the Callowhill neighborhood has been a seven-day affair since 2003. The menu changes according to the season and features hyper-local ingredients—all the food is sourced from responsible growers. Nutty Monkey Crespele, delicate Italian crepes with sweet bananas and Nutella or specials such as fried eggplant benedict keep the palate engaged.
Indulge yourself at one of the oldest and fanciest brunches in the city. Located in the Rittenhouse Hotel, the Sunday brunch buffet is literally a journey through the restaurant—salad, appetizer, raw bar (including caviar), breakfast, lunch, carving, charcuterie and dessert stations wind through the middle of the restaurant into the kitchen. Of course, this is not your ordinary buffet so fine-dining attire is recommended.
Prepare for a taste of the South on South Street. In a homey, rustic setting—wooden furniture and exposed brick—the cuisine is anything but. Rex 1516 is the place for shrimp and grits, bananas foster French toast and chicken & waffles Benedict, and the food is meant to be washed down with a Hurricane, julep or sazerac.

UK sports fans spent over £20 billion last year
PIC LISA FERGUSON 4/11/2014'European Qualifier 2014 - Scotland v Republic of Ireland'Celtic Park, Glasgow'Scotland Fans
Published: 09:00 Saturday 18 June 2016
Being a sports fan cost UK adults over £20 billion in the last year, according to new research from Post Office Money Credit Cards.
With Euro 2016 kicking off a summer of sport, we are set to become a nation obsessed – with over half of all UK adults classing themselves as sports fans (58 per cent) and almost as many regularly forking out to pursue their hobby (50 per cent).
Football, the UK's most popular sport, is the most costly to follow. The average footie fan spent £276 in the last 12 months. However, the biggest spenders (the top one per cent) spent up to £5,000 on their love of the beautiful game. £5 billion was spent by the nation's fans in total over the last year.
Other expensive pastimes include horse racing and cycling which are enjoyed by a third of the UK's adults (32 per cent).
Buying tickets was the most common form of expenditure in the last 12 months, with a quarter paying for entry (28 per cent) and travel to the event (23 per cent). Some fans are even willing to pay extra for overnight accommodation (12 per cent). One in five (20 per cent) have travelled abroad to watch a sporting event.
Other sports followers spent their money ensuring they can enjoy their passion in the comfort of their own home, on satellite TV packages (23 per cent), video games (10 per cent) and some even invested in new TV and entertainment systems (eight per cent). One in 10 fans (12 per cent) also purchased a kit or strip to show pride in their favourite team.
While most people (68 per cent) use their current account to cover their costs, many turn to alternatives to fund their passion. Over a quarter (27 per cent) used their credit card to fund their love of sports in the last year. Almost two fifths (18 per cent) say they have dipped into their savings, while seven per cent have borrowed money from friends or family, and six per cent have taken out a pay day loan to fund their love of sport.
John Willcock, Head of Credit Cards at Post Office Money, said: "With a summer of sport lined up, fans in the UK have a lot to look forward to. People should however be aware that the cost of a passion for sport can creep up unexpectedly. Most pay to watch sport, either at home or abroad, directly from their current account or with their credit card, though it is worrying that a small minority of people seem to be turning to pay day lenders.
"Clearly, we are a nation of sports lovers, but it is important that, whichever sport we follow, we only spend what we can afford, and there is a concern that some people might feel pressured to keep up with their friends. But whether it's a trip to France or Brazil for the Euros or Olympics, or just following your local team, it's worth doing a bit of planning and budgeting."
As well as being expensive, we also spend a significant amount of time following it. Football fans spend an average of 6.7 hours 'being a fan' each week, quickly followed by cricket fans, at six hours per week. And it isn't only our spare time that is taken up, with 12 per cent of sports fans admitting to secretly watching their team play while at work. A similar minority (12 per cent) have also got into conflict with their friends over their favoured sport.
A small proportion of fans have shown commitment to their fandom by sacrificing clothes (nine per cent), meals (seven per cent) or holidays (six per cent) to pay for their passion. A devoted three per cent even admit they have missed the birth of an immediate family member because of a sporting event.

Since the majority of the day was spent "LoTizing" video clips and related learning activities, I wanted to provide you with some additional suggestions when conducting classroom walkthroughs or reviewing student products.
3. Whenever possible, use pages 75/76 from your LoTi Mentor Certification manual to help approximate the LoTi of any lesson plan, web-project, or instructional unit.
5. A truly differentiated classroom has LoTi 0-4 occurring on a daily basis.
6. The appropriate or target LoTi should always be commensurate with the TEKS being addresssed and at the desired level of student cognition.
Also, think about LoTi as Levels of Teaching Innovation rather than Levels of Technology Implementation. It will prove most beneficial as you begin to implement LoTi in your school building.

Valentina's forefathers
Valentina's parents Lucia Coffrini and Giuseppe Brattesani
When Giuseppe Brattesani was born in 1841 in Parma, Parma, Italy, his father, Giuseppe, was 31 and his mother, Maria, was 29. He married Lucia Maria Coffrini on April 1, 1864, in Borgotora in Italy. They had ten children in 29 years. He died on September 17, 1905, in Greenside, Midlothian, Scotland, at the age of 64, and was buried in Easter Road Cemetery in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland with his wife, daughter Valentina and grandchildren.
By 1885 Joe and Lucia had decided to settle in the Scottish Capital at an address 5 Middlefield, which is just off Leith Walk in the centre of Edinburgh. Joe, my great-great grandfather, was the first of the Italian immigrants to have a fish and chip shop in the city.
Grahame Q, Graham Cowan, Ian Q, Jeanette and Bobby Q. at granny's grave in Easter Road Cemetery Edinburgh.
VALENTINA MARIA BRATTESANI born was born 22 July 1869, at 55 Boulevard Pereire, 17th arrondissement de Paris at 0800 am. She is the legitimate daughter of Joseph Brattesani, age 27 , Cantonnier and of Lucie Coffrani, age 23, Journaliere, certified by the present document, written by us. Her parents moved between Italy, Paris and Edinburgh as is shown by the births of their children.
The birth of Valentina Brattisani
Boulevard Periere in Paris. It was at No. 55 in the year 1869 that Valentina Bratesani was born
Valentina Maria BRATTISANI, our great grandmother was born on July 22, 1869, Paris, Paris, Ile-de-France, Her father, Giuseppe, was 27, and her mother, Lucia, was 23 and they had stopped off here, where there were other relatives staying, after leaving Italy. Then in 1871 sister Rosa was born but back in Parma. The family then moved on to Edinburgh where indeed the remainder of their family were born in Middlefield just off Leith Walk.
St. Mary's Cathedral would have been a short stroll away, just further up the hill. It was here that her association with the Edinburgh Italian Community in Edinburgh would have started. The family would have been frequent visitors to the Church and we believe it was here that she met and of course eventually married Emilio Quilietti.
Valentina married Emilio Fedeli Leopoldo Quilietti in 1892 in St. Mary's RC Cathedral, Broughton, in Edinburgh. They had six children together. After his death in 1899 she re-married Santino (Sante) Brattesani, her first cousin, and they had one daughter together. The baby died shortly after her birth. There were other miscarriages. Valentina died on April 19, 1905, at 9 Greenside Place, Edinburgh Scotland, at the age of 35 after a bout of pneumonia.
Valentina had a very brief life but thanks to her we are now here to tell her story. In her short life she endured much pain and heartache. Her two marriages produced ten children, four of whom survived, and these four surviving children are the forefathers of the Quilietti descendants today.
Valentina and Rosa Brattisani seated. Behind them Emilio Quilietti and Giulio Giulianotti to the right. Rose heavily pregnant.
There would have been many family members at their wedding, and their documented witnesses were A. Donati, Restaurant Keeper, who was Emilio's cousin. J. Brattesani and Rose Brattesani were of course Valentina's sister and cousin. Emilio's profession here in 1892 was still that of a stucco figure maker and we know that he soon entered into the ice cream trade and in the next six years was to run no less than 8 shops.
In the first months of their marriage the couple lived at a tenement flat No. 4 Cranston Street, just off the High Street in the centre of town. It was here in 1892 that Julio Emilio was born in 1892. Then down to 4a Calton Hall which is where son Leonardo was born in 1894. Their next home was down at 24 Greenside Place where they remained until Emilio's sudden death in 1899. Joseph Angelo and Valentina Maria were also both born here as was Amelia and Eletta who both died as babies.
24 Greenside Place to the left of the Tabernacle. It is still there today
Emilio died into a bout of Typhoid Fever leaving his wife Valentina and children. Two of his children Eletta and Amelia also died in 1899. Emilio's Estate would be worth around £50,000 in today's money.
Things at this time just went from bad to worse for Valentina. The family then moved to a new address just further up the Hill, No. 9 Greenside Place. She shared the large flat with her extended family, her parents, her Sisters, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. However Tragedy struck again. Her mother died in October 1900.
1901 census with Valentina as the Head of the family. Missing from her was Joseph Angelo who was staying with the Glass Family on the night of the census. Their daughter Mary worked as a kitchenmaid in one of the restaurants. The family lived at 3 Marshall's Court, Greenside, just around the corner.
One of these cousins was Sante Brattesani, two years younger than Valentina, born in the year 1873 in Italy. Sante worked in the restaurants helping out with his two brothers. His father David had emigrated with his family a couple of years earlier. Things had to move on for Valentina and in 1901 she married her first cousin Sante Brattisani. It was not a good coupling and being first-cousins they lost another four children. It was a bout of Pneumonia which took her life in April of 1905. But that was only after the death of her stillborn baby three days earlier. So complications of childbirth were swept under the carpet.
She was buried in Easter Road Cemetery in Edinburgh beside her mother and her four children who died in infancy. Later that year her father Giuseppe was also buried here. Valentina's first-husband Emilio was in the plot opposite her in a now unmarked grave
Sante Brattesani erected a white cross and angel over the plot in her memory. It is a beautiful memorial dedicated at first to a beautiful young lady. His grief at the loss of his young wife and cousin was apparent
The sad tale of this double lair. This is not the lair which holds Emilio Quilietti.
AMELIA was the daughter of Emilio and Valentina
LUCY was Valentina's mum
MAY was the daughter of Valentina and Sante Brattisani
Luigi Fusco was Valentina's sister Maria Brattisani Fusco's baby.
Stillborn child of Valentina was next who died three days before she died.
Then followed her father Giuseppe a few months after Valentina.
The next lair is equally as tragic with the children of Sante Brattesani and his second wife Luigia Peruzzi seeing their children Angelo, Sante and Ettoic all joining.
In 1915 we see Julio Quilietti's son, also Sante,
then Alexander Murray, son of Valentina Quilietti Murray.
Then Luigia Brattesani's still born baby in 1924.
Lastly Julio Quilietti, Valentina's eldest son
Sante took over the running of Emilio's shops and we know that it is documented that he ran the shop at the bottom of the fighting five steps at the top of Leith Street. But it was Mrs. Quilietti's fish and chips that were remembered with great affection by the men fighting at Gallopoli.
An Extract from a Book found in Edinburgh Central Library Leith Walk and Greenside.
Sante remarried after the death of Valentina. The next year Sante returned home to Italy and met up with his childhood sweetheart a stunningly beautiful girl whose name was Luigia Peruzzi. They wasted no time and married in San Vincenzi in Italy on 7th November 1907. On their arrival back in Scotland they married again in Edinburgh, for whatever reasons we will never know, but the date 4th January 1908 at 53 George IV Bridge,
Louigia Peruzzi. I am unsure if she also was some cousin of Sante. They lost four of their children as well including this wee boy. One daughter survived little Eva photographed below.
The grave again. Valentina's nephew Joseph Fusco, son of Maria Brattisani Fusco sits nextdoor.
The children of Emilio and Valentina now well and truly orphaned. Sante, their stepfather, wanted no part in their upbringing and we know that he threw out Valentina's belongings, amongst which were photographs of the Quilietti family all together here in Scotland in the year 1901.The young Valentina Quilietti however was ever vigilent and rescued these and sent them over to her uncle Giuseppe Quilietti who lived in Rhode Island. It is thanks to her that we have these treasured photographs today.
Louisa Brattesani took on the parents role and the Quilietti children called her their step mother.
Julio, Nardo and Valentina Quilietti
This most wonderful photo shows three of the four Quilietti children, Julio, Leonardo [Nardo] and Valentina Maria [right] with their step-mother Louisa Brattisani at the left. The occasion was the marriage between Nardo and Susan Tully. 1912. Everyone looks so affluent and smart. A fantastic photo.
VALENTINA'S SIBLINGS
Valentina was born in Paris in 1870 – she married Emilio Quilietti
– Rosa Brattesani was born in 1871 in Parma, Parma, Italy. She married Giulio Giulianotti on October 18, 1892 in Edinburgh in St. Mary's RC Cathedral, Broughton in Edinburgh. The couple moved up to Aberdeen where they made their lives. They had 11 children in 20 years. She died on March 9, 1929, at the age of 58. Giulio died shortly thereafter of a broken heart.
Maria Brattesani was born in 1878 in Leith Edinburgh. Maria like her sisters married into another Italian Family. His name was John Chavrine Fusco. John had been born in Belfast in 1875 and there was some debate as to whether his father was a Fusco or a Chavrine, but both had Italian Roots. They settled in the Portobello area and their family has much history there. Amongst their family was a Priest, and also their grandson is Richard Demarco who is the famous Edinburgh Entrepreneur who is not only an artist but also has roots with the Edinburgh Festival.
Minnie or Ermenia was born in Paris France in the year 1889. Minnie we believed returned either to Paris or Italy and married there. All we know is his name was Theo or Theodore. She is photographed here below with the daughter of her cousin Sante Brattesani whose name was Eva. Minnie to the left a very beautiful lady.
Louisa Maria Brattisani was born in Middlefield, off Leith walk on 13th September 1887. In Edinburgh in 1916 during the War Years she married Pietro Costella. They had two sons who were both born in Edinburgh John and Luigi. Louisa was the step mother to the orphaned Quilietti children from her sister's death in 1905 and she called herself step mother in many official documents.

On the double headstone under the name of Attilio Brattesani is the name "Luigia Costella" which Costella is my family name. My family is from Borgo val di Taro. My grandfather is Mario born 1909; brother to Aldo, Alfonso, Eugedio, Maria and Pierina all whom have died. We still own their original house on via padre bracci. All our relatives now live in New York.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Attilio Brattesani is a name well known to us of course and the Costella name also. Could you send me a photograph of this headstone please. I will include your information on the Costella webpage with your permission of course
The headstone just so happens to be right here on your web page 🙂 Its the one located under the picture of the old church.


Our 200 hours of certified yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh based on Hatha/Ashtanga yoga cover the detailed concepts of Hatha Yoga.
Hatha yoga, also called Haṭhavidya, is a branch of yoga. The word haṭha symbolizes a system of physical techniques supplementary to a broad conception of yoga. Our tradition believes that the deity Shiva himself discovered the Hatha yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh. In the 20th century, Hatha yoga, particularly asanas (the physical postures), became popular throughout the world as a form of physical exercise, and is now simply termed as "yoga".
Hatha yoga is a process which is to be done before yoga. The word "ha" means sun, "ta" means moon. Thus, Hatha yoga is about bringing balance between the sun and the moon in you, or the Pingala and Ida energy channel in you. Hatha yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh India provides knowledge about mechanics of the body, creating a certain atmosphere, and then using the body or body postures to drive your energy in specific directions is what Hatha Yoga or yogasanas are about.
Often people confuse hatha yoga with exercise but they are not alike. Asana means a posture. Hatha yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh includes eighty-four fundamental postures have been identified as yogasanas.
The practice as you see it currently in most places – the mechanics of it – is simply of the body. Physical postures are one aspect of this. In our Hatha yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh "you can explore Hatha yoga in several ways that take you beyond certain limitations, but fundamentally, it is a physical preparation – preparing the body for a higher possibility.
People practicing yoga are increasing day by day. They have started to understand that it is all about steady movements and postures that can give peace to your mind and increase power of concentration. It reduces stress and helps in overcoming depression. In Hatha yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh we strive back to bring back classical yoga as it was. It built up a proper atmosphere and shape your system into a fantastic vessel. Yoga is something that if practiced improperly can proved to be harmful. So a teacher or an instructor is needed to teach it step by step slowly and make sure that it is done in a right way.

Highlanders reward consistency at annual Awards Evening
The winners of the various trophies at the Pulse Energy Highlanders Awards evening all had one similarity; consistency of performance.
In a regular season that had its up and downs these were the players that stood out for regularly delivering their best out on the park.
The Pulse Energy Player of the Year was hooker Liam Coltman, having had a standout season on defence and with the ball in hand. Coltman shouldered a heavy workload starting in all but one of the regular season games. He is widely regarded as an industrious player with a big engine, he is also highly respected within the team, picking up the awards for Defender of the Year and the Speight's Players Player.
Another of the major awards of the evening was for the coveted Highlander Man of the year. This award is an impressive claymore sword and is given to the player within the team that best embodies the values of the club, this year's recipient was Co-Captain Ben Smith. As the club's most capped player (152 games) and one of the best players the club has ever produced, the award was a fitting reward for over a decade of service to the Highlanders. Always a favourite of Highlander's supporters Ben also received the distinction of being selected as the Dunedin City Motors Fan Player of the year.
The Swanndri Forward of the Year was Jackson Hemopo. Whether at six or lock Hemopo made his presence felt with his hard charging runs and big hits in defence. His consistent form throughout the season made him hard to go past as the best forward in 2019.
The Back of the Year was the mercurial Aaron Smith who started the season in good form scoring a crucial try against the Chiefs in round one and then after a short break, due to injury, returned to spark the team again over the latter half of the season. His running and passing game are second to none and he continues to set the bar in regard to halfback play.
Rookie of the year was prop Ayden Johnstone who was involved in all bar one of the round robin games and was part of a well performed front row with Coltman and Tyrel Lomax. In his first year of Super Rugby he certainly made an impression and looks to have a bright future in front of him.
Other winners on the night were Aki Seiuli as the 2 Degrees Community Champ for his promotional work amongst the community and Dillon Hunt for Excellence in Personal Development.

Monday, the mood is reflective, as Mercury stations to go direct. This is the time to look back and make sure everything is tidy before moving forward.
Tuesday, the day starts off with Moon in Sagittarius. Though the Moon Moves into Capricorn for most of the day, the initial umph! seems to carry its energy. Moon in Sagittarius provided the optimism, vision, and high energy while Capricorn provides the follow through.
Wednesday, the mood goes cold, as the Moon in Capricorn spends the entire day in the sign. The Queen is reserved, calculating, and logical, emphasizing realities and sobriety.
Thursday, Knight of Cups emphasizes dreaminess. You may pine for your love or an escape. In addition, you may decide to be a knight for a day and lend a helping hand.
Halloween, we have the Tower, which may give you chills. People will be out to shock, surprise, and scare others with their tricks. The day will be dramatic and fun. Definitely not boring.
Overall, the week starts out slow, swiftly changing and alternating in mood, and ends with a bang!

In recent years, interest in the relationship between increased health care efficiency and improved outcomes has increased in the United States. It has been demonstrated that more efficient care related to hospital admissions, lengths of stay, and readmissions is frequently associated with lower expenses  .
Inpatient readmissions have been a major focus of interest in the improvement of hospital efficiency and outcomes. Beginning in 2012, Medicare implemented the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, which levied financial penalties on hospitals with readmission rates within 30 days that were higher than expected. The original list of conditions included readmissions for acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and pneumonia. This list was expanded to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and coronary artery bypass surgery    .
The Medicare program has generated large amounts of fines from the hospitals that have received penalties. It has been estimated that Medicare has withheld approximately $1.9 billion from these acute care facilities  . It has been notable that efforts to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act have not included this program  .
Available evidence indicates that the Medicare program has resulted in substantial reductions in hospital readmissions for the diagnoses and procedures that it includes. It also appears that it may be associated with some reductions in readmissions for other conditions and other health care payers   . While this is a positive result for Medicare and its beneficiaries, more can be done.
This case study evaluated the impact of the Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program in the acute care facilities of Syracuse, New York during 2015 and 2016. This area includes three acute care facilities, Crouse Hospital (19,478 discharges, 2016), St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center (25,101 discharges, 2016), and Upstate University Hospital (30,359 discharges, 2016).
The hospitals provide primary and secondary acute care to a population of approximately 600,000 and tertiary services to an eleven county region with a population of 1,400,000. Within these areas, approximately 15.5 percent of the population is aged 65 years and over.
Historically, the Syracuse hospitals have worked cooperatively to improve the outcomes and efficiency of care in the community. A number of these studies, with ethical clearance, have been conducted through the Hospital Executive Council.
All three of the Syracuse hospitals have received the Medicare readmission penalties through all five years of the program. Each of them has worked to reduce readmissions through various mechanisms.
This case study identified numbers of inpatient readmissions for the specific diagnoses and procedures included in the Medicare Program, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, hip replacement, knee replacement, and coronary artery bypass graft by quarter for January - December 2015 and 2016 in the Syracuse hospitals. These were the latest twelve month periods for which complete data were available. Because the Medicare penalty measurement periods are significantly retrospective, these data do not include the penalty periods. It also identified the total number of readmissions with Medicare as payor for each time period.
For each population, the data were identified by readmission chains, defined as an initial admission followed by at least one readmission within 30 days. The rates were computed by dividing the numbers of readmission chains for the diagnoses and procedures used in the Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program by total Medicare hospital discharges excluding readmissions and expired patients.
The study data were developed using the Potentially Preventable Readmissions system developed by 3 MTM Health Information Systems. This is not the system that has been used in the Medicare program, but it was developed for use with all patients, regardless of payor  .
The study data are summarized in Table 1. They include combined readmissions for the specific Medicare diagnoses and procedures for the combined hospitals. They also include readmissions for the total Medicare population of the combined Syracuse hospitals.
The data demonstrated that the number of readmission chains for the combined diagnoses and procedures in the Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program ranged between 68 and 120 during the two year period. They produced readmission rates that ranged between 5.67 and 9.08 percent. The data demonstrated that the largest sources of readmissions were two chronic diseases, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The study data also demonstrated that the total numbers of Medicare readmission chains in the Syracuse hospitals ranged between 451 and 582 during the two year period. They produced readmission rates that ranged between 6.95 and 9.28 percent.
The data identified some seasonal variation in the readmissions and readmission rates for both the specific diagnoses and procedures and the total Medicare populations. In both cases, the lowest occurrence of readmissions occurred in the fourth quarter and the highest occurred in the first quarter.

total Medicare readmissions. In 2015, they accounted for 15.1 - 19.2 percent of the total. In 2017, they generated 18.7 - 20.8 percent of the total.
The Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program is an effort to improve the efficiency and outcomes of health care. The Program effectively provides financial incentives to hospitals to reduce Medicare readmissions by penalizing those with the highest readmission rates. During its initial five years, the Program was associated with reductions in readmissions for the diagnoses and procedures that it addresses.
The data from this case study describe Medicare readmissions under the Program in the hospitals of Syracuse, New York. The data demonstrated that readmission rates were below 10 percent and that at least 90 percent of Medicare patients were not readmitted within 30 days.
The study data also demonstrated that the Program included only 15 - 21 percent of Medicare inpatient readmissions in the Syracuse hospitals. This information suggests that, five years after its initial implementation, the Program is addressing a relatively small proportion of Medicare readmissions.
The data also indicated that Medicare chain readmission rates for the diagnoses and procedures included in the Program were lower than those of the total Medicare population for four of the three month periods evaluated and higher than the other four. This information also suggested that the program is having a positive but limited impact within Medicare.
These data, along with the history of the Medicare Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, suggest that Medicare needs to consider expanding this program to a much broader set of unplanned rehospitalizations, up to and including all of its inpatient utilization. This process could include adjustments in hospital financial penalties based on the experience of the current program.
The need to expand the Medicare Program is also supported by the relatively slow pace at which diagnoses and procedures have been added to it during the initial five years. Application of the initiative to all Medicare inpatients would permit inclusion and evaluation of its impact on a full range of conditions and support system wide improvements aimed at benefiting all patients rather than the selected disease specific efforts. System based efficiencies in the discharge process effect all patients. Improved communications, streamlined information sharing and improved continuity across care settings will improve patient outcomes across all populations and conditions. This should be promoted by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services).
Expansion of the Medicare readmissions program would also result in publication of more complete data which represent this indicator on hospitals. The current indicators are useful, but represent a very limited number of chronic disease and surgery populations. This approach would also result in a more fair presentation of Medicare readmissions for hospitals.
Expansion of the Program might also open the possibility to provide more current information than is currently available. The provision of more recent readmission data would support hospital efforts to evaluate and improve readmissions and related outcomes.

Three Die After Aircraft Hits Mississippi House
A Ridgeland, Miss., man piloting a small plane and his two passengers died when the aircraft crashed into a west Jackson home early Tuesday evening.
The single-engine aircraft, a Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six, struck the home of Loretta and Roosevelt Jamison of 220 Marcus L. Butler Drive, just off West Capitol Street near the Jackson Zoo, shortly after 5 p.m. when it experienced engine trouble minutes after leaving nearby Hawkins Field. Loretta Jamison, who was in the home, escaped by jumping out a window, her relatives said. Roosevelt Jamison wasn't home at the time.
Family members of the pilot, John Tilton, confirmed his death. "We just don't have anything to say right now," a male family member answering the phone at Tilton's home said.

PORTE DE VANVES, FRANCE — French film laboratory and post production house, Éclair Group (www.eclairgroup.com), has invested in a Quantel Pablo Rio, which it will use to boost its finishing capabilities. Each year, Éclair Group posts more than 50 feature length films, 100 shorts, 80 hours of television fiction, 25 hours of documentaries and over 100 commercials and trailers.
The company was created in 1907 as a film laboratory and movie camera manufacturer, and later moved into the post production of television commercials in the 1980s. In 2000, Éclair Group installed one of Europe's first 2K color-correction suites for work on feature-length films. The Pablo Rio system is designed for high quality color and finishing work.
Éclair Group director of production Thierry Beaumel and technical director Laurent Nikolli say that the new Pablo Rio will allow the studio to carry out the highest quality finishing of projects.

It felt like admitting defeat, arriving at my never failing perpetually two-minutes (or more) late to my appointment with a new counselor. It's been a long time coming, and counseling is more than necessary for the things that I had pretended to fully process through while trying desperately to not ask for help. I had preached upstairs in my own office to the many wounded and hurting that healthy people seek counseling, while refusing to take a spoonful of my own medicine. Here I was, sitting on the three-person couch alone, forcing my tears back into their ducts as if they were something to be ashamed of.
He handed me a tissue, and as I wiped the heaviness from my eyes hoping that my foundation wouldn't fall off with it, I balled it up in my hand, rendering it useless for the rest of our time. Months and months had gone by while I stuffed down the grief I felt while feeling such disorientation within me; I knew in my head God was faithful, and my heart was wrestling. Although I had felt more steady than I had for a long time, my deep and long standing fight with my desire for control rendered me quickly volatile as I looked around for any semblance of my rule and reign.
When I think of help, I think of the word that God called Eve, the ezer. In many ways, as the word "helpmate" has been used to demean and diminish, we tend to stick our noses up at the thought of ever needing help or asking for it: it means weakness. Yet, the other times this word is used in the Bible is with God fighting alongside Israel in battle, and without God's help, Israel will not succeed. God is Israel's strength, their ezer. It's clear that help is not optional.
Suffering is something we all have in common. The earth is groaning, the effects of sin both deep and wide, and all of us have felt the aches of the fall. There were and still are days when it feels as if the darkness will not lift. We are all truly desert dwellers, wandering in the wilderness, often feeling that help is the last thing we want to ask for just in case we come off weak or needy. The daily hill is so steep.
"I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
The lie of independence and autonomy finds us and beats us while we are down, even sometimes being the very thing that has brought us to the pit in the first place. Scripture time and time again speaks a better and truer word: we are dependent creatures, we need each other, we need Christ, neediness and weakness is in fact, the only way. Especially in our fiercely individualistic culture here in America, we tend to lack the beauty and the gifts that leaning on one another can bring within our Church bodies as we cling too tightly to self.
I didn't and don't want to be in this place I am in now: of struggle, of frustration, of resent—but this place has found me rightly reaching out for help, finding out and remembering once more that there is that life abundant promised not just beyond but within the disheveled chemicals in my brain, the hard circumstances of life, the things done both by and to me, and into the graciousness of my need. Many may say that these things don't go together, this pulling weight and my firm love of Christ, and yet, this paradox entangled has a home in me. Over the cacophony of words that rub in to this fresh clay, I sit and share my story on that grey IKEA couch, and am told great words of truth: I am not alone.
In this odd sort of way, I want to speed everything up, so even if it seems I am doing something healthy and good for me to do, I may sometimes only be doing it in order to get the least amount of pain out of it, running through the steps as fast as possible.
We scooted back into the same booth at the Panera found midway between us, I with a tea and she with iced coffee, both of us quietly wishing that we had some better things to say than the last time four months ago we checked in.
We shifted our conversation to a sermon heard weeks before, one about seeds and sowing in the Gospel of Mark. With all of my laborious work with plants, I know almost too much about the care of each individual succulent or tropical that comes my way. The hardest part of plant care is that no matter the knowledge and love I provide, if the plant has a sick or weak root system, there is not much I can do. I am responsible for the care, but I can't do much for the work that happens underground. That work requires patience, waiting, hoping.
Even as we hold the illusion of control in our hands, certainly a part of the work that is happening here on this earth, I am blind to the next steps of the journey not only for me, but for everyone around me. Through misted eyes, I struggle with the fight of faith happening in turmoil within me, of the situation seemingly always feeling chaotic, and if my Father cares if I drown; the hard work of waiting is chiseling the impatience off of dry bones. With many holding my arms up as I attempt to grin and bear it, my Teacher knows what He's doing, and it's His upside-down Kingdom calling me to rest, to slow down, and to remember in the midst of it.

Lynnfield Police Department Donor Scam Warning
The Lynnfield Police Department urges donors to watch out for scams
Attorney General Martha Coakley on Wednesday reminded those who want to give to support victims of the Boston Marathon attacks to do their homework first to ensure the charity is reputable. More than 125 website domain names relating to the Boston Marathon explosions were registered within a few hours of the attacks Monday, according to Consumer Affairs Undersecretary Barbra Anthony. Fraudulent websites have popped up in the aftermath of other national tragedies, including the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown. Coakley warned would-be donors to protect themselves from fundraising scams by making sure any websites they visit match a registered charity and to beware of professional fundraisers who try to make their solicitations sound like they are coming directly from the charity itself or volunteers. Coakley's office offered a handful of tips, including getting to know the charity by taking time to verify the address, phone number, and contact information and reviewing the website and written material. When possible, consider the charity's history. Be wary of appeals that are "long on emotion," according to Coakley's office. A legitimate charity will tell donors how it's using the money after a disaster. Do not pay cash and never give a credit card number to a fundraiser over the phone. Websites like Charitynavigator.org and BBB.org/charity help donors get additional information on a particular charity.
