Mike Cass elected president of BC HRMA
Association seeing growth in membership, metrics service
Mike Cass was elected president of the British Columbia Human Resources Management Association (BC HRMA) at the association's annual general meeting in June. Cass was president-elect and is also director of human resources at Island Timberlands, a forestry company based in Nanaimo, B.C.
Outgoing president Jay-Ann Fordy provided an overview of the status of the association, highlighting a few key achievements of the past year:
Membership growth occurred in all regions and reached a total of 5,179.
More than 60 per cent of voting members hold the certified human resources professional (CHRP) designation.
BC HRMA scored a 76 per cent satisfaction rating in its annual member survey.
The HR Metrics Service had significant growth and now has 65 participating organizations across Canada.
Average attendance and positive evaluation results increased for professional development programming.
Fordy also spoke about the outcomes from the board's strategic planning meeting in January 2011. The board has identified three targets: raising the profile of HR in the business community with assistance from a public relations firm; building business-to-business partnerships across Western Canada; and continuing excellence in CHRP accreditation.

ProFeeder from RARUK Automation is a compact, mobile and modular robot cell that can be easily moved between production and processing machines to increase productivity. It is designed to accept a robot arm and can be systematically expanded to give manufacturers a growth path to full automation.
The next in the three-model range is ProFeeder which comes complete with two movers and two parts trays. The mover is a modular cart which, when placed in the robot cell, automatically centres the parts tray. When the parts have been processed the first mover and tray are replaced by the second mover with unprocessed parts. This model is good choice for automatically loading a CNC machine, making it possible to introduce an additional shift. In the event of unscheduled downtime, the system automatically sends a text alert to the operator.
The third option is ProFeeder Multi that introduces a lift module that automatically presents trays to the machine for parts to be processed; its capacity is eight trays. This solution makes it possible to run a fully automated four-shift operation or even lights out production. Manual input is limited to machine supervision, pre-filling the parts' trays and replacing the mover at the end of the fourth shift. All ProFeeder systems can be quickly moved to a new station with a pallet truck. Set-up is easy and quick as it only requires connection to electricity and compressed air. The system's compact design allows it to be used with most types of processing or production machine and, as the robot arm can be fixed on three sides of the cell, application flexibility is ensured.

Exclusive: School Board Chair curses out school police
By Jack Furnari On Feb 25, 2022 Copy Link Print

Frank Barbieri, Jr., Board Chair of the Palm Beach County school board, cursed school police out after a contentious school board meeting Wednesday night.
The understaffed, underpaid school police allegedly signed an email to Governor Ron DeSantis requesting a merger between the School Police and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The letter was signed:
Concerned parents of Palm Beach County Schools and the rank and file of the Palm Beach County School District Police Department.
Technically, the letter is anonymous, but my sources confirmed that school police were involved in the request.
Photo credit: PBCSB Police
I spoke to several school police officers who would only speak anonymously for fear of losing their jobs. Barbieri approached officers twice after the meeting and started yelling and cursing at them.
"After all I've F****** done for you, you F****** screw me like this. If any of you want to F****** go, just say so, and I'll F******make it happen."
Barbieri continued to make profane and vaguely threatening statements to this effect.
According to the officers I spoke to, the children are not safe, and neither are they.
The department is short one hundred officers, and they cannot cover the schools adequately.
During emergencies, the officers have to resort to calling each other on cell phones. The department has had three police chiefs in the last two years, and an interim Police Chief is running the department while the administration searches for yet another chief.
As one officer told me, "Our first priority is keeping the children safe, but this board doesn't seem to care as long as they're in control."
The email said two school board members support the police merger, and I have confirmed that.
Vice chair board member, Karen Brill of District 3 and Alexandria Ayala of District 2 both support the Police Officers
School board Candidate Amanda Silvestri, running in District 6, read the email aloud at the meeting during the three minutes allotted to the public to speak.
After hearing of Barbieri's outburst, Sivestri told me, "As disturbing as it is to hear that the chairperson of the school board spoke to the officers in this manner I am not surprised as this is the way he has treated the parents for two years. It's especially disturbing that someone that is in charge of our children's safety and well-being would take to anger instead of concern when learning that their officers feel that they cannot adequately protect the children teachers and staff."
Barbieri is known to have a temper, and he has been approached several times in private during the last year and asked to dial the tension down.
Citizens fed-up with PBC School Board members acting like petty tyrants
[wpdiscuz-feedback id="wxg5adu4uu" question="Should Palm Beach County school board chair Frank Barbieri resign?" opened="1″]Barbieri's language, behavior, and disrespect shocked the officers, but it shouldn't have.[/wpdiscuz-feedback]
Like many school boards across the country, this school board has shown nothing but disrespect and contempt for the people they serve.
The police may have thought they were immune to this kind of abuse, but now they know they're not, and so does Gov. DeSantis.
I called Frank Barbieri on all of his phone numbers, including his personal cell, to get a comment or response, but I did not hear back.
School Chair Barbieri responds with humility, apologizes for profane outburst
Police demand personal apology, blast vulgar School Chair
The email was first reported by WBPF-Channel 25.

Q: How to connect a qml child component signal to a c++ slot I want to connect a child item component signal to a c++ slot but it is not working. I have one file
ButtonItem.qml in which the code is like
Item {

    id: button

    property string label
    property alias cellColor : rectangle.color

    Rectangle {
        id : rectangle
        objectName : "rectangle"
        height : 40
        width : 50
        radius: 10
        color: "gray"

        Text {
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            font.pixelSize: 20
            text: button.label
            color: "white"
        }
    }
}

and the main file is
button.qml
Rectangle {
    id : rect
    width: systemWidth
    height: systemHeight.getHeight()

    Text{
        id : text
        objectName : "text"
        height : 20
        width : 10
        anchors.centerIn : parent
        text : systemHeight.getText()
    }
        ButtonItem {
            signal qmlMsg(string msg)
            objectName : "button"
            id : button3
            cellColor : "blue"
            label : "3"

            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill : parent
                onClicked : button3.qmlMsg("Hello World")
            }
        }
}

and in my main source file the code is
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent)
{

    QDeclarativeView *qmlView = new QDeclarativeView;

    qmlView->rootContext()->setContextProperty("systemWidth", 1000);

    Sample sObj;
    qmlView->rootContext()->setContextProperty("systemHeight", &sObj);
    this->setCentralWidget(qmlView);
    qmlView->setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("E:/samplecode/qmlsample/button.qml"));
    QObject *obj = qmlView->rootObject();
    QObject *childObj = obj->findChild<QObject *>("button");

    connect(childObj, SIGNAL(qmlMsg(QString)), this, SLOT(printData(QString)));
}

void MainWindow::printData(QString message)
{

    qDebug()<<message;
}

but no slot is getting call.
It is working fine if i connect parent signal to c++ slot.

A: The problem is not in the child's signal/slot, it's the MouseArea which has zero size. Add width and height to the root item in ButtonItem.qml.
Item {
    id: button
    width: 40  // add this
    height: 40 // add this
    ...
}

Or you add them directly to button.qml too
ButtonItem {
    signal qmlMsg(string msg)
    objectName : "button"
    id : button3
    cellColor : "blue"
    label : "3"
    width: 40  // add this
    height: 40 // add this
    ...
}

A: To find QML child item using QObject::findChild(), it should have a name. So it should be like :
Item {

    id: button
    objectName: "button"

    ...

}

Now you can access it by :
QObject *obj = qmlView->rootObject();
QObject *childObj = obj->findChild<QObject *>("button");
if (childObj)
{
    connect(childObj, SIGNAL(qmlMsg(QString)), this, SLOT(printData(QString)));
}

The 1898 will of Ellen Cross
18 Tuesday Oct 2022
Posted by Anne Young in Cross, Cross SV, Murray, Snake Valley, will
In May 1898, three years before her death, my husband Greg's great great grandmother Ellen Cross née Murray (1836–1901) made a will providing for her unmarried daughters and leaving two specific bequests, her piano and her husband's medicine chest.
Ellen, born in Dublin, emigrated to Australia in 1854 She was 17 years old and her occupation on the passenger list was domestic servant. In 1856 at Buninyong near Ballarat she married James Cross, a gold miner from Liverpool, trained as a chemist (druggist). They had eleven children, ten of them born in the small mining town of Carngham, west of Ballarat, where she and James had settled with their first child in about 1858.
James died of dysentery in 1882, and Ellen, forty-five years old, became a widow with ten children (one child had died young). The youngest child was three. Ellen continued to live in Carngham. I do not know how she managed to support herself and her large family.
From her will it appears that Ellen was a straightforward and practical woman. I was interested that she had a piano. I am not sure when she would have learned to play. Also caring for so many young children as a widow, when she might have had a chance to play.
As they grew older the children remained close and in touch with each other. Most of them, however, moved away from Carngham.

Wikitree: Ellen (Murray) Cross (1836 – 1901)
Anne Champion de Crespigny (1739 – 1797)
Posted by Anne Young in 52 ancestors, CdeC 18th century, probate, will
My sixth great aunt Anne Champion de Crespigny (1739 – 1797) was the sixth of seven children of Philip Champion de Crespigny (1704-1765) and his wife Anne née Fonnereau (1704-1782). She was born on 10 October 1739 and was baptised on 30 October 1739 at the Church of St Benet Paul's Wharf, London.
Anne's father Philip had a successful career as a lawyer. At one point he held the position of Marshal of the Court of Admiralty, its senior sheriff. Philip's father Thomas Champion Crespigny (1666 – 1712), a Huguenot refugee, served in the English army. He died at the age of forty-eight, when Philip was only seven years old. Philip was indentured at the age of fourteen to Charles Garrett, procurator of the ecclesiastical Arches Court of Canterbury. In 1731 Philip married Anne Fonnereau, the daughter of a wealthy Huguenot merchant.
Philip and Anne had seven children, two of whom died young:
Jane Champion Crespigny 1733–died young
Claude Champion de Crespigny 1734–1818 the 1st baronet Champion de Crespigny
Susan Champion Crespigny 1735–1766
Anne Champion Crespigny 1736–1738
Philip Champion Crespigny 1738–1803 my 5th great grandfather
Jane Champion Crespigny 1742–1829
About 1765, Anne de Crespigny's portrait was drawn in pastel by Catherine Read (1723 – 1778).
Anne de Crespigny married twice. Her first marriage, in April 1765, only two months after her father's death, was to Bonouvrier Glover (1739 – 1780). Her second marriage, in 1783, was to James Gladell, later James Gladell Vernon (1746 – 1819). Anne had no children by either marriage..
Anne left a will dated 7 January 1797 probated in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 5 July 1797. At the time this was drawn up her residence was Hereford Street in the Parish of Saint George Hanover Square in the Liberty of Westminster and County of Middlesex. Her will refers to her marriage settlement, her husband James Gladell, her brother-in-law, the husband of Susan, Sir Richard Sutton, and to George Stainforth, husband of her cousin Fanny Stainforth, nee Fonnereau. She also mentioned and left money to:
her nephews Thomas Champion Crespigny (1763 – 1799) and Philip Champion Crespigny (1765 – 1851), sons of her brother Philip Champion de Crespigny (1738 – 1803) and his first wife Sarah
Her brother Claude Champion Crespigny, her sister in law Mary and her nephew William (1765 – 1829)
Her godson William Other Champion Crespigny, this would have been the son of William, grandson of Claude, born 1789 and died 1816
Her sister Jane Reveley, her brother in law Henry Reveley (1737 – 1798), her niece Henrietta Reveley (1777 – 1862), her nephews Hugh Reveley (1772 – 1851) and Algernon Reveley (1786 – 1870), and her niece Elizabeth Anne Roper (1773 – 1816)
Her niece Anne (1768 – 1844) the wife of Hugh Barlow and daughter of Philip Champion de Crespigny (1738 – 1803) and his first wife Sarah
Her four nieces Clara (Clarissa 1776 – 1836), Maria (1776 – 1858), Fanny (1779 – 1865) and Elizabeth Champion Crespigny (Eliza 1784 – 1831); daughters of Philip and his 3rd and 4th wives Clarissa and Dorothy
Right Honourable Alice Countess of Shipbrook, the widow of her husband's uncle Francis Vernon (1716 – 1783)
Richard Glover (1750 – 1822), her brother-in-law from her first marriage
Following the probate records include a letter from Anne to her niece Henrietta, presumably kept because it describes how she wished to have some of her belongings dispersed. I have transcribed this below, keeping the original spelling.
March the 20th
My Dear Henrietta
As I am going to have an opporation performed that renders my recovery doubtful I write you these lines to say that my wardrobe and all that is in my drawers independant of my Trinket Box (which Mr Vernon is intitled to by right. As well as by my desire I leave to you conditionally that you will resave for your own use and benefit all that – is worth your acceptanttance desiring you will give everything else to my maid Mitrell (?) Who having lived but a few months with me is not intitled to great perquisites at the same time would give her what ever is not worth your acceptance an Ivory ffan which John Shore brought me from India & desire may be sent to my ffriend Lady Shelley as a small token of my Remembrance
Most affectionately A. G. Vernon
She died on 2 June 1797. This was recorded by The European Magazine, and
the London Review.
A natural conclusion
Posted by Anne Young in Chauncy, court case, probate, will
In a memoir of his sister Theresa Poole formerly Walker nee Chauncy (1807 – 1876), Philip Lamothe Snell Chauncy (1816 – 1880), who was my third great grandfather, wrote:
[Her grandfather] William Snell Chauncy was the proprietor of the Winkfield Estate in Berkshire, where he resided for many years ; he was also possessed of slave estates in Antigua and St. Kitts, in the West Indies, of house property in Sackville Street, Dublin, and of considerable funded property.
Her father was his only son, born in London, on the 14th August, 1781, and died at Leamington on 1st August, 1845.
In giving this information, however, Philip Chauncy neglects to mention that his and Therese's father was illegitimate, the natural son of William Snell-Chauncy (1756-1829).
Here was the explanation for something that had puzzled me: why had published pedigrees of my Chauncey forebears failed to include Philip Chauncy's father William (1781-1845)?
On 14 August 1781 William Brown, the son of Eunice Brown and William Snell-Chauncy, was born in London.
Eunice (1753 – 1836) was the daughter of Captain Robert Brown (1713 – 1769) and his wife Margaret Brown nee Cosnahan (1718 – 1769). The Brown family was from the Isle of Man. Eunice was the seventh of nine children. William Brown was brought up on the Isle of Man by his mother's family, with financial support from his father.
On 6 June 1783 William Snell-Chauncy married Sarah Toulmin (1757 – 1834). William and Sarah had two daughters, Sarah (1786 – 1841) and Catharine (1788 – 1858). William Snell-Chauncy and his wife Sarah separated in 1789. The Deed of Separation, issued in 1789, stipulated that William should not have the management of his two daughters.
Philip Chauncy's father, William, married Rose Therese Lamothe on 5 May 1804 at Malew on the Isle of Man. Marriage records give his name as William Snell Chauncy; it appears William had adopted his father's name. William's children were all known by the surname Chauncy.
Philip wrote that his sister Theresa was "sent on a visit to my grandfather at Wingfield, where she rendered us good service by watching and partially defeating the intrigues of another branch of the family who were using every exertion to obtain an undue share of property from my grandfather in his old age. I think Theresa must have been at Wingfield for several years". This would have been in the late 1820s.
William Snell-Chauncy died in 1829. In his will he named his son as William Brown, later referring to his "natural son William Brown". The children of William Brown were also provided for, as was Eunice Brown, William's mother. Only after providing for the Browns does William's will turn to his daughters Sarah and Catharine. He made no provision for his wife Sarah, stating he had provided for her in his lifetime.
In 1831 William Snell-Chauncy's daughter Mrs Catherine Snell Burke challenged the legal validity of the will and its codicil on the grounds of insanity of the testator. One of the executors was a man called Robert Westwood; the case was named 'Westwood against Burke and Others'. The challenge was put forward in June 1831 and the case came to court in November and December 1831. The bulk of William Snell-Chauncy's estate of £25,000 had been left to his natural son.
Martha and Theresa Brown [sic], Philip Chauncy's sisters, were noted as having lived with the deceased, their grandfather. The court heard evidence alleging that William Snell-Chauncy's behaviour had been childish, that he was a habitual drunkard, and that he had conducted himself in an insane and irrational manner. It was also alleged that the signature on the will was not in his hand-writing. The counter allegations were that the deceased, though eccentric, was not of unsound mind; he had conducted his own affairs, had received and paid money, played at cards, spoke French; that he was charitable and benevolent; and that he entertained great regard for his natural son and his family.
On 19 December 1831 The Times reported the proceedings of the Prerogative Court for December 17. The King's Advocate on behalf of the executors observed that the party opposing the will was really Captain Burke on behalf of his wife and her unmarried sister and that Captain Burke's difficulty with the will was not that the testator was incapable of making a will but only a will more in favour of the legitimate children. The King's Advocate noted that previous wills made by William Snell-Chauncy in 1799, 1816 and 1820 had all provided for his natural son. Given that the 1789 deed of separation from his wife had stipulated he should not have the management of his two daughters, it followed that there was less intimacy with his legitimate family. But he had had constant interaction with his natural son and his family.
Dr Lushington on behalf of Captain Burke stated that in the course of evidence there were "charges brought against the Misses Brown [Theresa and Martha Chauncy] [which] were not a substantial part of the case, but solely with the view of discrediting the testimony of a witness."
Portrait of Sir John Nicholl (1759-1838), Welsh politician and judge. Artist William Owen Collections of St John's College, University of Oxford Retrieved from https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/sir-john-nicholl-223355
The Times of 5 January 1832 reported the decision of Sir John Nicholl, judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. More than 50 witnesses had been examined and there were depositions from more than 100 witnesses. There was a larger body of evidence on the case than in any case of the records of the Court. Nicholl found that no act of insanity had been proved and that the whole conduct and history of the testator naturally led to the conclusion of the probability of the dispositions in the will. The judge
"referred particularly to the charges alleged against the Misses Brown, in an interrogatory address to a witness named Gould, and which he had positively denied. Where, he asked, was the necessity of attacking the character of these two young women? It was an act of justice to them that the Court should declare thus publicly, that the character of these young women had been attacked without any just cause, and that the single witness by whom the charge had been attempted to be supported, was unworthy of any sort of credit whatever."
Mr and Mrs Burke were condemned to all costs as it was deemed unfair that the estate should bear any of the costs.
From the judge's summing up it appears that Martha had most certainly earned the comment from her brother that "…she rendered us good service by watching and partially defeating the intrigues of another branch of the family who were using every exertion to obtain an undue share of property from my grandfather in his old age".
Philip Lamothe Snell Chauncy (1816 – 1880) wrote a memoir of his sister Mrs Poole, Theresa Poole formerly Walker nee Chauncy (1807 – 1876). It was first published in 1873 as Memoir of the late Mrs G.H. Poole by her brother. It was republished in 1976 together with a memoir of Philip's second wife as Memoirs of Mrs. Poole and Mrs. Chauncy.

In his will, Charles Chauncy specified that his grandson William Snell should take on the name Chauncy when he was twenty four years old and that he should quarter Charles Chauncy's coat of arms with his own. Charles Chauncy's three sons had no male issue and William Snell was the oldest of Charles Chauncy's three grandsons by his daughter Martha. William Snell of Edmonton was granted license in accordance with the will of his late grandfather Charles Chauncy late of Newington to add Chauncy to his name in December 1780.

Burke's family records can be wrong

Many family historians rely on published pedigrees such as John Burke's 1833 Genealogical and Heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain and Ireland. Unfortunately sometimes Burke got it wrong.
My Mainwaring forebears are included in Burke's 1833 family records, a genealogy of the junior houses of British nobility, which records family origins, surnames, events, and locations of about 300 British families; some are accompanied by coats of arms. The records have been digitised and indexed by Ancestry.com. The incorrect relationships are included in at least 28 public family trees on ancestry.com, presumably based on Burke's error.
The entry for my seventh great grandparents reads:
Edward Mainwaring, of Whitmore Hall, bapt. 25 Aug. 1681, m. 1st Jemima Pye, second dau. of Edmund Pye, of Farringdon, Berks (see Burke's Landed Gentry), by Anne , his wife, dau. of Lord Crewe, of Stene, and by her, who was buried 22 August 1721, had issue, …
When I started to look at the text of the marriage settlement for Edward and Jemima I became a little confused. Burke's has combined mother and daughter into one person: Jemima was the daughter of Anne Rider formerly Pye nee Wright (c 1660-1731) and granddaughter of Anne Wright nee Crew (1637-1707); Jemima was thus the great granddaughter of Lord Crewe of Stene, 1st Baron Crewe.
The settlement was dated 15 March 1708 and was between four groups of people:
Edward Mainwaring of Whitmore, only son and heir of Edward Mainwaring deceased by Bridgett his wife, of the first part;
The Right Honourable and Right Reverend Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Baron of Stene, and Bishop of Durham, Henry Pye of Faringdon Co. Berks Esquire and John Conyers of Walthamstowe Co. Essex Esquire, Executors of the will of Dame Anne Wright of Dagenham, of the second part,
Anne Rider late wife of Edmund Pye Esquire of Faringdon and Jemima Pye, the daughter of the said Anne Rider and Edmund Pye of the third part, and
the Honourable Edward Cartaret of the Middle Temple and Carew Hervey, alias Mildmay, of the fourth part.
Dame Anne Wright of Dagenham was the daughter of Lord Crewe of Stene. She was the sister of the Right Honourable and Right Reverend Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Baron of Stene, and Bishop of Durham. She died in 1707 and her will was proved on 24 March 1708. [The National Archives; Kew, England; Prerogative Court of Canterbury and Related Probate Jurisdictions: Will Registers; Class: PROB 11; Piece: 508]
Anne Crew, born about 1637, married Henry Wright on 23 March 1658. Wright was a physician, son of Laurence (Lawrence) Wright, also a physician, at one time physician to Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. Laurence Wright died in 1658. Shortly afterwards, on 10 April 1658, Cromwell made Laurence's son Henry a baronet. This honour was disallowed – it didn't seem Wright – when the monarchy was restored in May 1660, but on 11 June 1660 Henry Wright was AGAIN created a baronet by King Charles II. Henry and Anne Wright had two children, Anne and Henry (1662-1681). Henry junior died unmarried and on his death the baronetcy became extinct.
Anne Wright, the daughter, married Edmund Pye on 4 March 1678/9 at St Giles in the Fields. Pye was a medical doctor, the son and heir of Sir Robert Pye of Faringdon, Berkshire. Edmund Pye was born in 1656 and died about 1703 of smallpox at Knotting, Oxfordshire. His wife Anne remarried, to William Rider or Ryder. She died in 1731. [Edmund Pye's will probated 3 January 1704 PCC Will Registers; Class: PROB 11; Piece: 480. Anne Rider's will probated 2 March 1731 PCC Will Registers; Class: PROB 11; Piece: 650]
Edward Cartaret was Jemima Pye's second cousin. He was youngest of four children. His mother died at the time of his birth. Edward's father, Philip Cartaret, was killed in the Battle of Soleby when he was six months old, along with his maternal grandfather, Edward Montagu, Earl of Sandwich. Edward Cartaret, together with Carew Harvey, were provided for in the marriage settlement of Edward Mainwaring and Jemima Pye in the case of failure of male issue of the marriage.

While I understand the family connection of Edward Cartaret, I am not sure how Carew Harvey alias Mildmay is related. He was a neighbour of Anne Rider formerly Pye nee Wright in Essex and was appointed Sheriff of Essex in 1712. Perhaps her estate of Dagnams was encumbered in some way to him.
I have not been able to find out much about William Rider. When Anne Rider formerly Pye nee Wright made her will in 1722 she described herself as the wife of William Rider and left him an annuity of one hundred pounds per year during his lifetime. She bequeathed one thousand pounds to her grand daughter Jemima Mainwaring as promised her son in law Edward Mainwaring. There were other bequests but her residuary legatee was her much esteemed friend and relation Edward Carteret, that is her first cousin once removed.
William Rider / Ryder and his wife Anne were involved in several court cases.
1707 Pye v Ryder: (UK NA C 5/263/27)
Plaintiffs: Jemima Pye, Mary Pye, John Pye, Penelope Pye and Isabella Pye.
Defendants: William Ryder, Anne Ryder his wife, [unknown] Pye and others.

William Rider was also involved in several other court cases.
Although John Burke's genealogy made a small error in confusing the generations, overall it is a very useful source and a terrific starting point for tracing the family trees of the families he documented. The genealogies would have been painstakingly compiled and of course without the databases and digitised records we rely on today. As with anybody's research, Burke's genealogies need to be verified against available documents which for this period include marriage settlements and wills. Perhaps also court cases.

Champion Witnesses I: Taunay W: Waxham P: Broton
Thomas Champion de Crespigny was my 7th great grandfather.
Thomas was born about 1664 in France. His family were Huguenot. He came to England in about 1676 and joined the army. He married Magdalen Granger (1664-1730), a fellow Huguenot, on 12 February 1695 at St Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street, London. They had six children of whom two died young.
Thomas died in1712 leaving Magdalen with four children
William aged 14 (1698-1721)
Jeanne or Jane aged 12 (1700-1776)
Philip aged 7 (1704-1765)
Claude aged 6 (1706-1782)
In a document dated 20 September 1712, Sir Charles Hotham certified that Thomas Champion de Crespigny had served as Captain in his regiment, and added that:
he left a poor widdow [sic] and four Children in a very distressed Condition, so that she stands in great need of Her Majesty's [Queen Anne's] most Gracious Bounty, and of the Pension commonly allowed to the Officers widdows.
The family still holds a copy of this document and the original apparently was held by the War Office.
Magdalen received a pension of £26 a year, being the regular rate for the widow of a captain.
On 15 June 1713, nine months after Thomas' death, the government granted Magdalen stock in the South Sea Company valued at £333.18.9; the amount was due for Thomas' clothing and other expenses during the period to 24 June 1712.

The will of Mary Feillet née Champion
Posted by Anne Young in Champion de Crespigny, probate, will
Marie Champion was the third child of Claude Champion de Crespigny (1620-1695) and his wife Marie de Vierville (1628-1708).
Marie was born in about 1655 in France and came with the rest of her family to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
On 13 May 1698 she married Jacques Feillet at the French Protestant Hungerford Chapel, Hungerford Market at Charing Cross on the Strand, London. Jacques or James died in about 1728, his will dated 1726 left everything to his wife Marie.
Mary Feillet made her will on 17 April 1736. She died not long after and the will was proved at London on 7 June 1736. She named her brother, sisters, nephews, and cousins in the will.

The city's history of redlining and segregating Black neighborhoods loomed large in November, when this trio of Chicago real estate agents, along with the two other members of a national panel convened by the National Association of Realtors' standards committee, urged the trade group to put a stop to hate speech by its members in both their professional and private lives (read: social media). The push got results that will resonate for years to come: The association adopted a rule stating that agents "must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity," at the risk of punishment from state licensing boards.

Abstract: At the beginning of the 19th Century, European literature depicted the city as a mysterious place, thanks to the transition due to the beginning of the Modern era and the loss of traditional values. The city, which substituted the traditional rural spaces, was a scary place, an unsettling phenomenon that was quite difficult to understand because of its size and complexity. Writers tried to offer an explication to the upheaval of their times by portraying the city as a hidden menace, thus continuing the Gothic novels' disturbing setting. Gothic literature was widespread in 18th-century Europe, and mystery was an element very popular and appreciated by the audience, hence the emphasis placed on it. On the one hand, authors tried to reassure their readers by mitigating the city's more sinister aspects, but on the other hand, they used the mystery to entertain and amuse. This double aim can be observed in those images of the city that writers used in their representations. The essay wants to present three categories of images which revolve around this double image of the city, of mystery on the one side and of stable concreteness on the other: the city-labyrinth, the city-woman and the city-monster. The examples are taken from English, French and German literature.

I'm sure everyone loves Paris. Wet streets, white houses, green parks and spectacular views give this city grace and elegance making it so wonderful. Every corner of it is photogenic and I could spend an entire life taking photos there. We all know Paris is the capital of fashion and style because of its fashion firms with a fame which covers the whole planet. Precisely because it is a place where everyone has already been or would like to go, I picked some things to do while you stay in Paris. They aren't classic things everybody already knows but they're different and really girly.
If you travel alone, with friends or with your boyfriend, don't worry because the following list is pretty cute and you don't need to care about who you are spending your time with. All places I decided to write about are unique and, even if similar ones may be in your country, it's worth. I discovered new stores and shops while I was walking all over the city and I'm so glad to share them here. If you don't like Paris, believe me, continue to read. At the end of this blogpost you might have already booked a flight to go there. Contrariwise, if you love it, just enjoy!
This is just a MUST-DO BEFORE DYING. You can't say you lived if you haven't gone to a parisian Ladurèe yet. We all know this place and the famous macarons in the pink box with the logo written on it, but Paris is its homeland and every time you go to this city you must make a stop at Ladurèe's. The best store is in the rue des champs elysées, whose location is insane. When you come in it you feel like you were at the princess' palace, with all walls painted, gold finishes and old mirrors around you. It isn't a normal bakery or bar, it's a place where you feel happy as soon as you open the light green door. About the food, every kind of tea or macaron is really good but I would like to suggest you a list of delicious things I fell in love with, something you might love.
One time Audrey Hepburn said Tiffany was the place which immediately calmed her and my conclusion is that Ladurèe my "Tiffany".
Paris, in addition to being the "City of Love", is one of the most famous cities in the world for the fashion industry and haute couture. Coco Chanel was French, Christian Louboutin was born in Paris and Dior as well. As you already know, these are just a few of the infinite list of brands whose headquarters is in the French territory. In that stores there is a vaste range of pieces and products of every shade of colour and shape you can't buy anywhere else. Hermès is huge, Louis Vuitton is always insanely crowded and in a lot of occasions there is a queue out from the store.
So if you are planning on spending a complete afternoon in Parisian shopping, make sure you make a stop at Louboutin, Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès.
This is the street made for girls and guys who love taking pictures. It is definitely dedicated to all photographers who need new locations with different backgrounds for their daily shots. Some of you could think this is Burano Island, in Italy, because of the colourful houses which make the street look like a rainbow, but it is in Paris. You are having a walk down white classic Parisian boulevards when you turn and find Venice. This is art, there is no doubt about that.
The windows doors are of the same colour of my jeans and the walls pink, green, blue and orange. I still don't know if the houses' owners are happy to see dozens of people taking photos in front of their homes every day, but it's difficult to don't do it. Therefore the majority of the photos (with the coloured background) you can see in this blogpost is taken there.
So, fashion bloggers and photograpers from all over the world, whether you are professionals or you just want to post a photo in Instagram, go there, you'll never regret it.
Eat a nutella crêpe with strawberries next to the big wheel at Champs Elysees is something we all should do in our life, in particular when it's freezing cold and you have been walking for hours. You just have to buy a crêpe prepared in the moment, sit on a park bench and enjoy your day.
Guerlain has always been one of my favourite perfumes brands but when I discovered the best store in Paris (rue des Champs-Elysees) I basically fell in love with it. It's like the place of every girl's dream, the one which isn't even real. When you come in there's the lipsticks corner, of every possible shade of colour, and the rest of the store is principally dedicated to fragrances in general. Every single bottle of perfume is placed in an unique and elegant way which allows you to mistake them for jewels. The ceiling is covered by gold baloons and there are mirrors absolutely everywhere you turn away.
All these details make this place so beautiful and at the first floor is situated the department I prefer the most. There you can choose between I don't know how many different smells and bottles of perfume. Basically you can costumise your fragrance as you like and I think it's so smart!
So if you're walking down the streets of Paris, please remind Guerlain.
I hope I've helped and inspired you in some way.
Do you know any other thing to do or place to visit in Paris? Write it in the comments!

In the context of traction drives with required torque transient capabilities and a classically wide flux weakening speed range, this paper gives design considerations of a particular Double-Polarity (DP) five-phase machine. Beyond its intrinsic fault tolerance due its five phases, its specificity is the ability to develop torques of comparable values under three kinds of supply: with only first, third or both first and third sinusoidal currents. This property, due to first (E1) and third (E3) harmonic electromotive forces (emf) of comparable values, gives more degrees of freedom for the control of the machine. Unlike three-phase sinusoidal machine, flux weakening is no more the unique solution when maximum voltage is reached. Thanks to the extra degrees of freedom in this kind of machines, more possibilities for the control of the torque and current supply can be applied. At first, elements for the choice of slots/poles combination of such DP machines are given. Then, in case of an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (IPMSM), possible adaptations of the rotor are proposed in order to bring the double p/3p polarity property. The last design criterion considered is the level of eddy-current losses, important at high frequencies. For proof of the concept effectiveness, a prototype with a five-phase fractional-slot concentrated winding of 40 slots and 16/48 poles is presented with results from experimental set-up and Finite Element modeling. A comparison with equivalent no-fault-tolerant three-phase 24 slots /16 poles machines is also carried out.


Will Robo-Advisors Really Takeover the Industry?
I don't think so, and here's why not.
History Teaches us about the evolution of industries: If we study the historical record of human innovation and the evolution of different industries, it teaches us about some, but not all, of the things we can expect in the future. Innovation may be disruptive, but it usually leads to advancement and prosperity.
An example of a prediction that was completely wrong is the work of Paul Ehrlich. It was so wrong that his predictions were 180 degrees opposite of the actual evolution of the food industry. In 1968, Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich released a best-selling book The Population Bomb. It warned of the mass starvation of humanity in the '70s and 80's due to overpopulation.
The information in The Population Bomb and studies from the Population Crisis Committee were widely followed and led to the conclusion that human population would outlive the food supply in just a few years leading to widespread famine. But they were wrong. Governments and countries however, wasted billions of dollars attempting to avert the catastrophe that never materialized.
Human Innovation – The rate of innovation in agriculture outpaced the expansion of the population. Today's population is larger but is fed by less acres of tillable land than in 1968 because advances in farming techniques have led to higher yields per acre. There are more acres of standing timber today than there were in 1900, due to the development of forestry management techniques and practices.
Birth Rates Slow in Developed Nations – As nations progress from emerging, to developing, to developed, families mature educationally, they set different goals and ultimately their birth rates decline. Today in mature developed economies, for example, the demographics are such that their may not be enough live births to fill the job demands of the future—the opposite outcome of Ehrlich's conclusions. He also failed to anticipate the fall of socialism during the pivotal Reagan-Thatcher-Gorbachev era which brought dozens of countries into the emerging and developing category leading to decades of disappearing poverty and starvation.
So, when we consider the predictions of the death of the live advice industry, it does not appear that the futurists, commentators, and journalists are considering the historical pattern of innovation and development. While the automobile eradicated blacksmiths and liveries, it ultimately created more jobs and more wealth.
I believe the same is true of the financial services industry. We will see incredible innovation such as the introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence to the investment advice service model, but if you consider all of the contributing factors, not just a few observations, we will see the industry grow, and the compensation of advisors, who evolve, will grow as well. The growth of the industry in the last three years supports this conclusion.
Unscientific Conclusions: In order to make a conclusive prediction of an expected outcome, the scientific method requires systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of the hypothesis. Therefore, the hypothesis that robo-advisors will replace humans requires the consideration of many more factors than have been applied by pundits, journalists, and futurists. Robos rapid growth-rate is not alone a predictor of it replacing human advisors.
What factors are the doomsayers excluding from their analysis?
Machine learning and artificial intelligence may help human advisors grow and gain efficiency rather than replace the humans. What if robo-tools help advisors reduce overhead and deliver advice more affordably, rather than replace the advisor? Retirement income assumptions and college funding needs are calculated robotically while interpretation and analysis are provided by the human advisor. The more likely prediction may be that advisor profits will grow, not shrink because technological advancement makes businesses better, increasing profits not shrinking them. Interestingly, as Betterment, a groundbreaking robo, attempts to grow, they are adding live advice, so are the custodians. In the final analysis, everyone wants to be us.
Historically, HNW and UHNW people have preferred to pay someone to handle their investment complexities rather than play with a cloud application themselves, which is an experience that may be preferred by lower net worth people who may have more time to invest in a do-it-yourself application. This perspective may be supported by the $15,000 estimated average account balance of robo adopters. The assumption of HNW and UHNW investor's preference to delegate investment tasks is supported by the growth of concierge service models and family offices.
Artificial intelligence is decades away from solving complex problems that require non-mathematic conclusions and reasoning in areas involving wisdom, ethics, values, and discretion.
Here is what robo can and cannot do.
Robo can: In developing a financial plan, they may be able to assimilate multiple goals, including college savings, planning for home purchases, retirement, protection and risk management needs, estate planning and the need for health care and/ or long-term care risk protection. In proposing investment solutions, they may be able to aggregate outside assets, trade individual securities, ladder bond portfolios, evaluate low tax basis holdings, and allocate around illiquid positions. They may be able to help clients understand their portfolios by providing canned information and learning articles in the context of the financial results and market information being presented.
Additionally, there are also elements of the robo-advice experience that clients prefer over traditional models. They like the privacy found in a digital solution and the ability to learn, and to chart their own path. These features will be improved upon in future releases as the programs get "smarter".
Robo cannot: Machine learning and artificial intelligence can provide quick and accurate solutions to mathematical problems and questions such as predicting a stream of retirement income or solving for a college funding need, but programmers are decades away from writing software that can apply wisdom, and discretion or help a family wrestling with securing the future of a special-needs child, or discussing how to balance their philanthropic and charitable inclinations with family and estate considerations. Wealth managers are needed more than ever.
If the Robos ultimately dominate the $15,000 account space, wealth managers may be happy they conceded that ground to the automatons. It may also portend the death of the broker-dealer model, where thousands of sales reps make a living selling mutual funds and variable annuities for inflated commissions along with the Series 6/7 securities sales persons that occupy that space, but in this 21st century, a century of global economic expansion, the need for the wholistic wealth managers, trusted advisors, and quality investment advice should be growing, not shrinking.
Conclusion – I believe the current trends will continue, and that robos will help to shape the enhanced advice model that wealth managers employ in the future. Competent wealth managers in the future will leverage AI, machine learning and their related technology advances to provide clients with more comprehensive planning and investment management services. Forward looking advisors will seek to incorporate these technologies in the same way evolving practitioners used the first investment analytic and financial planning applications in the early 1990s.
The industry is evolving quickly, reinventing itself every year. Those that do not change and adapt will be left behind. Emerging and growing advisors and firms will need to remain relevant and contemporary, partnering with firms like Dynamic Wealth Advisors to provide technology, systems, scalability, and continuity so that they can focus on delivering the very best advice and management to clients, and to strategically grow their business.

An incredibly rare, original, low mileage, low owner, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI (6).
We previously sold this vehicle in July 2016, and since then it has covered only 10 miles and has been stored away.
A truly rare beast, with fantastic investment potential.
Imported when new by Warrender Cars, this stunning Evolution VI was registered by Warrander Cars on registration, and then remained with the original owner until 2016.
We purchased the car, and the vehicle was purchased from ourselves under traders temporary registration – thus not adding a registered keeper and as such this example remains as just one previous owner on the V5.
The car was kept garaged whilst with the original owner, and only came out for the odd Sunday drive when the weather was suitable.
Since then, the car was placed in to professional storage where it remained until we collected the car.
Full Mitsubishi Service History until 2016 when the car had a full service carried out by Automotive Performance Tuning (World renowned Evo specialist).
Full MOT history is also present, and the mileage is fully warranted.
The vehicle will of course be supplied with 12 months MOT.
The Icelle Blue paintwork on this Evo VI is all original and in great order.
Zero corrosion on the vehicle, and zero dents or dings.
This car has clearly been cherished throughout its life, and also kept away from any bad weather – having been garaged its entire life.
All badges and decals are original, as are all the lights (including the unmarked fog lights).
All glass is original, and again is superb condition, with no damage.
The spoiler is without any cracking around the base (this can be a common issue on these vehicles), and the sideskirts/front splitter are without any damage either.
The black door window surrounds are still a nice solid black and have not faded as is often the case, and incredibly all bumper fixings are still gold, the zinc plating still being present which is almost unheard of on a original Evo VI.
This brings us to the underside of the car, which can very often be a real nightmare with these vehicles, as they do suffer from corrosion, mainly due to the lack of protection on them when they are shipped across from Japan. This example is simply incredible, and totally original.
Upon first purchase when the car was new, the under side was sprayed with black protection wax and has remained this way until we purchased the car in 2016, when we decided to undertake the tedious task of removing all underseal, and the shell is literally like new!
All brackets & bolts still maintain the original gold zinc plating, the fuel filler neck is totally as new (a common corrosion issue on these cars), as is the AYC casing, along with all the brake lines, fuel lines, all suspension arms, exhaust etc etc….
The underside and box sections have all now been protected using clear Dinitrol treatments, to give long term protection and peace of mind, whilst still allowing the fantastic condition to be seen.
The seats are literally unmarked, steering wheel & gear knob unmarked, original Mitsubishi floor mats are still in place and show no signs of wear.
'As new' is a term which is often over used, but this car warrants that term without doubt.
Anybody who is familiar with these vehicles will appreciate how easily the interiors wear, and will appreciate just how rare it is to find an example like this.
All gauges work just as they should do, the dash has never had any extra gauges fitted and is in perfect order, the door cards are perfect, with no lifting of the material at all.
Rear seats show no signs of fading at the top (a very common issue with these).
Zero modification have been made to the engine/power of this example, even the air filter is a correct Mitsubishi air filter.
Runs perfectly, no tapping when cold (or hot), and the car drives very nicely with a lovely progressive power delivery through the rev range.
Absolutely no smoking, either on idle, on boost or on over run.
The engine bay itself present very well, again all brackets & bolts still retain the original zinc plating, and absolutely no corrosion anywhere.
To see an Evo VI engine bay this original, and in this condition is almost un heard of now.
All running gear is in perfect order, all suspension items are without any corrosion and still display the original labelling from factory.
Brake caliper's are unrestored, and still bright red with no lacquer peel at all – might we add the brakes perform very well indeed.
The original exhaust is still fitted, and is in very good condition throughout.
A new set of tyres were fitted in 2016 (10 miles ago).
The only single none original item on the car is a set of -30mm lowering springs as the original owner felt the car sat a little high on the original springs.

My visit to the Batu Caves was the first major thing I did during my first adventure after quitting my job and I picked a good way to kick things off. The caves are huge and beautiful both inside and out, there are monkeys EVERYWHERE, and there is the opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone by putting on a hardhat and walking through complete darkness underneath 200,000 flying (and…erm…guano-producing) bats. For a full post I wrote about this experience, click here.
I reviewed my "Off the Eaten Track" evening food tour with Food Tour Malaysia in a full post here. Especially for a solo female traveler, this was the perfect way for me to get out at night in a city I didn't know and try SO MANY unique dishes that I'd never had before. I wouldn't have been able to try this much otherwise since my stomach is only so big. It's also a good way to meet other travelers if you haven't talked to anyone in a while, but really go for the food.
The National Mosque is a gorgeous, peaceful, geometrically-pleasing building that I'd recommend visiting, especially since you're in a Muslim country. Check the visiting hours which vary by day – there are certain times where only practicing Muslims may visit. Before entering the mosque, you must cover up and remove your shoes. For women, that means a light purple robe and a black embroidered head covering. I actually felt quite pretty in my outfit, but I also felt extremely hot. It was over 95 degrees that day and my body temperature soars anyway, so it was challenging.
Islamic design is incredibly detailed and beautiful, as I learned while visiting La Alhambra in Spain last year. The Islamic Arts Museum is a good way to get out of the extreme August heat in the middle of the day but it's also an awesome museum. My favorite exhibit was the miniature models of mosques around the world, but there's so much more – including ancient documents, ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and armor.
The majority of the birds in the KL Bird Park are able to roam free, though there is netting at the top to ensure they don't fly away. I love seeing animals but I feel a little conflicted about zoos. I feel bad that animals are caged and kept there, but I also understand that a lot of these guys wouldn't be surviving out in the wild due to limited habitat space and predators. If you're conflicted, maybe skip this one, but if you like walking around and having to ask birds to move so you can cross the path, maybe you'd find this one fun. It is important to note that I taught an owl there how to wink.
I may have visited the Orchid Garden during the wrong season or maybe I didn't explore enough because the above photo is the only orchid I found, but I did see lots of other flowers. I was the only person there and I appreciate those quiet moments when I'm in a city. If it's 95 degrees on the day you visit, there's a fountain you can splash yourself with, especially if also you find yourself alone there.
The Petronas Towers are what make the skyline of KL memorable. You can go up these towers, but then you don't get a view of them, which kind of negates the experience. I went up KL Tower instead. On the top levels here, you can see all around KL including the Petronas Towers, and you can also test your "fear of falling" by standing on their glass-bottom platform. If you look like a tourist like I did, you may be shuffled through the VIP line and have to pay a little extra, but you do get the star treatment – no lines, no strangers in the background of your pictures, and special access to the outdoor deck.
Don't go to KL without eating Malaysia's national dish of Nasi Lemak. I tried some (fiery) Nasi Lemak on my food tour in a food court and also had a less spicy (and perhaps less authentic) version at Madam Kwan's my final night. Basically, rice + hard boiled egg + peanuts, none of which I'd think to mix, make an awesome combo. Ask for it to be less spicy if you want to be able to finish it without tears running down your face.
You can take the girl out of New York, but she'll still want brunch. And if she wants brunch in KL, I'd recommend VCR. This cafe belongs in Brooklyn – I mean, just look at that avocado toast, that latte art, and that staircase. I had the pleasure of sitting next to and chatting with someone I knew was from NYC because of his Strand bookmark. He turned out to be a member of the band Tokyo Police Club. I didn't know the band at the time because I generally just listen to Cat Stevens or Bruce, but now I do, and they are pretty damn good.
If you want to identify yourself as a westerner in Asia, make sure you buy some elephant pants to wear. You can grab some in the Chinatown Market, but be aware that they will rip when you fall off your motorbike in Bagan, Myanmar or when you are playing soccer with a kid in a store on stilts in the middle of Inle Lake. While you're there, try to find Madam Tang's small food stall and get some of her cubes covered in crushed peanut dust. According to the interwebs, some people think it's mochi and some think it's similar to gnocchi. I have no idea and couldn't identify the cubes at the time. Whatever they are, this woman has been selling them in her stall for decades and they're worth a try.
I received a special rate for my tour with Food Tour Malaysia. Opinions are always my own.

Principle is one of the world's most experienced & effective NationBuilder agencies.
NationBuilder is the primary platform used by political campaigns and advocacy non-profits worldwide.
No longer do you need to have multiple online systems. NationBuilder brings your website, Content Management (CMS), Contact Relationship Management (CRM), payment processing and mass email communication services into one integrated product.
Allowing you to grow your community and lead them into action – at any scale.
We are certified Nationbuilder Developers, Experts and Architects.
We'll invest the time to understand your primary goal and what you're hoping to achieve. Beyond this we'll also identify any secondary needs required for a project to succeed. These usually include who will be using the site, and what information needs to be there.
With a clear goal established, our team will begin fleshing out the website from scratch. A process which includes wireframing, graphic design, development, testing and conversion optimisation.
This takes advantage of our more than 5 years experience in interface development – ensuring your site has a strong UX and is optimised to convert users into action.
Every single site we build is responsive – meaning it displays perfectly on mobiles, tablets and other popular devices.
Whether you're establishing a new site or want to brush up on new features, we can run one of our regular training sessions with your team. These can vary in length and focus depending on your needs.
We pride ourselves on using NationBuilder as much as we develop on it, so our training sessions cover more than just the technical steps. We make sure to include helpful tips and tricks about how you can achieve the best outcome and what a winning online organising strategy looks like.
Data is the lifeblood of a successful NationBuilder roll-out. We can help you move data from your current systems (whether they be for sending emails, managing events or anything else), into NationBuilder. It's important to get this right the first time – otherwise you can end up in a tangle.
Beyond just data – often there will be other unexpected needs as the site begins to settle into your organisation. We can provide a range of services to help make this process as seamless and comfortable as possible. Whether this includes setting up payment processors, providing additional capacity in the early months or developing new pages as needed.
Many large organisations already have well established membership and donor databases, upon which your revenue depends. In many cases, these systems are fulfilling their needs and NationBuilder is being introduced to compliment and enhance.
To make the most of these situations, the two need to talk to each other. We can make that happen, so you're making the most of all the activity.
When you join thousands of people raising their voices in unison – you command a response.
Standing together you create a movement with momentum – bound together by our stories and values.We help you do it with impact – through tools that make online action interesting, important and insightful. We believe in Active Advocacy.
Under pressure by their parties and the media, sometimes our elected officials lose touch with the locals they represent.
Our Email your MP tool makes it easy for your supporters to contact their local member, making it clear that your campaign is having local impact and should be taken seriously.
Rather than bombard your supporters with invitations to events – make finding them fun and interesting by connecting your supporters with the events most relevant to them.
Supporters can see different event types happening in their local area and then RSVP, see how many spaces are left and learn more about how each event contributes to the campaign goals all in the one place.
Decisions are made based on the experiences known to decision makers. For too long this has excluded everyday people. Our formal submission tool makes it easy for people young and old to have their views represented and recorded in Government reviews and inquiries by simplifying the process.
We help your supporters get straight to the point by breaking down the task into key components, making sure the views of the people most effected by a policy are heard when it counts.
In a polarised political climate our representatives often close their ears and block out criticism from people on the street, instead relying on the media to communicate "community consensus". But we all know that media outlets are far from reflections of the community – often with their own agendas.
This tool allows supporters to share their unique personal stories with outlets across the country, making it clear to editors of major metro newspapers through to small local publications that your issue is at the top of their readers minds.

Q: How to efficiently manage a Stream with try / catch / finally C# I recently discussed with a coworker who told me that I was managing incorrently a stream into a try / catch / block. So I wanna know what would be a good approach for you.
try
{
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt");
    //After that, here an operation of about 30 seconds to fulfill;
}
catch (IOException ioex)
{
    throw new IOException("An error occurred while processing the file.", ioex);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new Exception("An generic error ocurred.");
}
finally
{
    if(sr != null){
        stream.Close();
        stream = null;
    }
}

He stated that having 2 Exception are unnecessary, even using the IOException. We can use only Exception. But the only thing that I want is to recognize where exactly the exception has been produced, because after opening the file, an operation of about 30 seconds will be performed.
So what would you think? We saw this MS example (http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-Fr/library/system.io.streamreader.aspx) which it's simplier but in terms of performance or clean code, you find something strange?
Your opinions please!
-EDIT-----------------
Ok, I see the point but we were discussing about the Catch IOException and just using the Exception. In my opinion, like as in the example above you can know where the error ocurred; at the moment of managing the file or in the process after opening the file. That's my first question. And now, what do you think about this change below.
try
{
    using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
    {
        //After that, here an operation of about 30 seconds to fulfill;
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new Exception("An generic error ocurred.");
}
finally
{
    if(sr != null){
        stream.Close();
        stream = null;
    }
}

-------------------EDIT 2------------------------
Finally, I hope this would be my final solution. Thank you so much for your answers. So using is faster, efficient and just one exception is necessary.
try
{
    using (StreamReader stream = sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
    {
        //Operation
    }
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    throw new Exception(String.Format("An error ocurred while executing the data import: {0}", e.Message), e);
}

Any other comment would be appreciated!

A: Don't catch an exception only to throw the same exception immediately, only now with less information and missing the stack frame of where the exception actually occurred.
If I came across something like
catch (Exception ex)
{
   throw new Exception("An generic error ocurred.");
}

in a code review I would fail that review (not just for the grammar and spelling mistake either ;-)
At the very least, you should throw it with the original exception as an inner exception.
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new Exception("A generic error occurred.", ex)
}

But to be perfectly frank, in this sample code it adds nothing whatsoever, it would be better removed entirely imo.

A: If you're rethrowing the exception instead of catching it, why bother creating a new exception? You're throwing away valuable information. There's literally no point in catching an exception only to throw it again. Nor is there any point replacing a helpful exception (as in, it's got all the diagnostic information anyone upstream might need) and replacing it with a generic exception.
For your situation, I'd simply:
using(var sr=new StreamReader())
{
    //some code
}

all your other improvements are quite the opposite.

A: you can use using block as below, and it will dispose the stream even on exception occurred
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
{
   // do something with sr
}

Catch Exception if you're going to do something about. If you can't fix the problem, there's no point in catching it.
if you can't resolve the exception, it's best to just let the exception bubble up the exception and catch it there.
try
{
    using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
    {
       // your code
    }
}
catch (IOException ioex)
{
    // do something to fix the problem
    // log the exception
}

Flood victims in deep trouble
By Michael Clarke
Updated: 07:46 EST, 24 June 2005
THE people of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe in North Yorkshire will be counting the cost of the flash floods that hit the village during the recent spell of hot weather.
It is estimated damage caused by the floods will cost insurers tens of millions of pounds, most of which will go towards replacing the contents of people's homes.
In addition, in a number of cases the floods will have caused damage to the buildings themselves.
Sadly, many homeowners are underinsured and the villagers of Sutton may find the misery of the flood compounded by the refusal of their insurer to meet the full cost of repairs and replacements.
For example, if a property is insured structurally for £100,000, but the insurance company thinks a total rebuild would cost £150,000, it will take the view that the property is under-insured by 50%.
Therefore, if the owner makes a claim for £20,000, the insurer may offer only £10,000.
The Association of British Insurers estimates that a quarter of homes in the UK are under-insured or have no insurance at all.
Working out contents insurance should be simple. You know the rough value of the contents of your home and unless you are attempting to keep your premiums down you should be honest.
However, working out the rebuild cost of your property is not as easy and an inaccurate estimate could leave you thousands out of pocket.
Help could be at hand to avoid under-insurance with the launch of a new online service from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) takes data such as the external floor area of the property, its age, quality of construction and what type of building it is and estimates the cost of rebuild if it was burnt to the ground.
Nine out of 10 homeowners pay an average of £173 a year, but after the devastating 2000 flood in Lewes, East Sussex, the local council found that 20% of residents were underinsured by up to £15,000.
BCIS director Joe Martin says: 'Many people will find they are paying too little house insurance and some may find they are paying too much. Few people realise that insurance on buildings is driven by construction inflation rather than market prices. Most people have ideas about the rebuild costs of their homes which are way out.'
Based on RICS calculations, it would take £230,000 to rebuild a typical detached property in the South East. A similar property in the North East would cost about £30,000 less to rebuild.
As the Met Office predicts more thunderstorms this weekend, ABI spokeswoman Jane Milne says: 'Home buildings insurance is an essential protection, ensuring that life's unexpected emergencies can be managed without incurring debts.
'But it is vital that the correct rebuilding valuation is used when buying insurance to make sure any claim can be paid in full.'

News » Industry News » Time to plan for reconnecting NZ
Time to plan for reconnecting NZ
TIA is urging the Government to update its plans for reopening New Zealand's borders as Omicron has changed the game.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said last week that Cabinet would be considering changes to the current border settings in the coming weeks, after the phased reopening announced in November was put on hold when Omicron emerged.
"The previous plan was developed to respond to Delta, not Omicron. If Omicron becomes endemic in New Zealand, there will be no health reason to keep our borders closed or to continue self-isolation or MIQ for international arrivals," TIA spokeswoman Ann-Marie Johnson says.
New Zealand needs to reconnect with the world. People are desperate to reunite with family and friends. Travel also supports critical supply chains, brings vibrancy to communities, and supports other sectors including events, food production, transport and services.
Quarantine-free travel is key to attracting international manuhiri back to New Zealand. The tourism industry's recovery cannot begin until New Zealand's borders reopen to international arrivals without isolation or quarantine requirements, Ms Johnson says.
International airlines are currently finalising their schedules for our 2022-23 summer. They need an indication of the plan to reopen our borders by mid-February or there is a strong risk New Zealand will lose quality international air connections, delaying the recovery further, she says.
Advice from the World Health Organisation is that international travel bans should be lifted or eased as they have not prevented the spread of Omicron and are contributing to social and economic stress.
International trends show that the peak of the Omicron outbreak should pass within two or three months so the Government should be planning now to reopen the borders at that time, Ms Johnson says.
"We know that both New Zealanders and tourism operators will face tough times in the next few months so the time for planning for the recovery is now. We need a clear Omicron border opening plan. We believe that enough is known about how the pandemic will play out to justify serious work to develop the plan. On behalf of the industry, TIA is keen to work with the Government to support this."
Easing and then eliminating New Zealand's border restrictions must be based on a careful risk assessment but if Omicron becomes established in the community, it is highly unlikely that shutting our borders will be the main control measure in future, she says.
"We can manage who comes across the border more easily than we can manage the behaviour and decisions of our own population, and therefore international arrivals should pose a small and manageable risk.
"We know it will be a step-by-step process but the best way to get moving on the road ahead is to have a plan in place for reopening Aotearoa New Zealand's borders as soon as the controls are no longer serving the key purpose of protecting New Zealanders."
