Each person is listed in the index for each of his/her names (except the common GIERING name). For example, if John Paul Jones were to be listed, the name would be found as "Paul Jones, John", "Jones, John Paul" as well as "John Paul Jones".
Until the individual lines of the family trees project have been inter-conected, there will be separate individual family charts. Each set of chart pages - when taken as a set - is the "family tree" for one of the lines.
All of these tree charts - when lookd at in a reverse chronology order - has as its "origin" in a "list of trees" as found via the Mail Chart Page.
The third portion of this web site is a set of pages making up a "support Section". This page is one of them. For details on this section, use the link and return to the "mail support Page".
Each of the five elements making up the main menu has a title indicating to which page the element is a link; it also contains an image for identification. While viewing the page to which the link of the elemnt would aply, the background color for that element is Grey - the other elements have a yellow background color indicating the link to that section is active.

The mission of this web site to make available to all interested parties the information on any and all Gierings and Giering Descendants. An Internet Web Site is considered the most cost-effective (at no cost to the vivitor) way to assure maximum dissemination.
Family Line Connection - As is defined on the main chart page, there are a number of seemingly independent Giering Family lines - some in the United States, sone in England and some in Germany. It is the Author's belief that all of them stem from some single origin - probably in Germany. The first Major Goal is to identify and catalog the relationship between the independant lines, connecting them together making one composite line.
Medical Information - A longer range goal deals with medical information. As Medical Science advances, it is finding many hereditary relationships for various maladies. I believe that future generations - in order to become more aware/knowledgeable of possible inherited conditions - will need as much family medical history information as can be obtained. To collect and record that information is my goal! For more detrail about this goal, please read the letter requesting Medical information the author sends to most visitors.
GENERATION NUMBER - The "gg" is the generation number from the Author's Genealogy Notebooks. This is an arbitrary generation identification and starts with generation eleven (11) (see below for earlier numbers) for the oldest United States Generation known: ANDREAS - Date of Birth circa 1729. The Generation Number is a two or three character number between ten and up (the ten and up series represents a new series - the older series is between one and nine - and all information is being converted; it is believed viewers will see only the new series).
NUMBER WITHIN GENERATION - The "nnn" is a one-up number starting with one for each generation.
The Generation Number and the Number Within Generation indicates the location of information on that individual. The two parts are divided by either a dash or an underscore. A dash is used for the older series while an underscore is used for the ten and up series. The composite number is an identification of where in the genealogy book's the worksheets, letters and other written information may be located. The newer number series is also used as a file name for a computer maintained factfile on the individual.
An initial letter of "Y" indicates that the individual or group is not the subject or offspring of the worksheet document page, but is mentioned therein. A leading "A" indicates the Generation Number is approximate.
EXAMPLE: A page number of 015_009 would mean the person that is the principal for that file/worksheet/document page is the ninth person identified of the fifteenth generation.
The first deals with the use of the leading "A" as described in the preceding paragraph.
The second occurs when there are two principals in a document. This generally exists when cousins intermarry. This is especially true when the couple's relationship is "removed." In these instances, both husband and wife are considered the principals for the worksheet document and, if "removed", children are of the next generation based on the higher of the two (husband and wife) generation numbers. In this case the commentary section of the worksheet document will address the generation anomaly. On Chart pages where this occurs, there is a "footnote" reference. This reference is a link to the actual footnote that so identifies this cousin relationship.

Twenty-five years ago "entrepreneurship" was a rarely used French term that applied to a handful of individuals that were mostly in tech, mostly in California, and mostly go it alone. Today, entrepreneurship is better viewed as a distinct set of skills and a way of approaching the world. Top corporations have taken note and are seeking ways to disrupt themselves before others beat them to it. For 18 years, Linda Rottenberg has guided 1,000 "high-impact" innovators around the world, helping them scale from promising startups to global multinationals. Now she shares cutting-edge strategies for success and compelling—and occasionally irreverent—business lessons. Managers will come away with practical tips for adopting an entrepreneurial mindset essential to success in the new global economy.
Named one of "America's Best Leaders" by U.S. News & World Report, Linda Rottenberg has developed a playbook for leading effectively in the new global economy. Thanks to 20 years of experience working with 1,000 world-class entrepreneurs while simultaneously scaling her organization, Endeavor, in 20 countries, she has identified the "Goldilocks rules" of 21st century leadership: not so "hard" that they apply only to button-downed organizations; not so "soft" that they apply only to t-shirt startups. In this talk, Linda explains how to use chaos to your advantage; motivate employees with "psychic equity"; attract and manage millennials; infuse your business with purpose; and remain nimble in an age of disruption. Linda also shares tips for building a diverse global workforce and ensuring that all employees find meaning in their work.
Have you lost your edge? Job security and your secured position at the head of the pack are relics of the past. Caught between increased competition and economic fluctuations, corporations are struggling to stay dominant. Research shows that even top companies are losing their leadership position faster than ever. You must adapt from within, or you'll be forced to adapt from without. In this context, survival depends on tapping into the creativity of your employees and giving them the freedom to pursue their ideas. Forget top-down corporate strategy—the key to success is intrapreneurship. Linda Rottenberg offers proven strategies to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit in your organization by encouraging risk-taking, embracing failure, dismantling silos, and creating a skunk work-like environment where ideas can percolate from the bottom up.
Invite Linda to speak at your event!
Few people have more insight into what makes great entrepreneurs a success. Linda brings a dynamic presence, a keen intellect, and road-tested experience to the stage.
It was great to have Linda with us in New York City. We appreciated her taking the time to share the wonderful Endeavor story with our guests. Personally, we were so proud to see a trusted partner of SAP showcase such world-class leadership and vision. Her perspective contributed so much to what we wanted the CEO Summit to accomplish.
Linda was impressive and inspiring – made a difference to our global partners and we are grateful she attended.

Equinix completes US$47.3mn expansion of SY5 data centre
The US$47.3mn expansion of Equinix's SY5 data centre makes it the largest International Business Exchange (IBX) facility in Australia
Data centre and digital infrastructure company Equinix has announced it has completed a US$47.3mn (AU$66mn) expansion of its SY5 data centre, the company's fifth facility in Sydney.
Completed as a phase two expansion, the new development to the International Business Exchange (IBX) facility, which is located in Alexandria in Sydney, adds 2,150 cabinets to the existing 3,975. It also creates an additional 11,310 square metres of colocation space, Equinix claims.
When fully constructed, the SY5 data centre is expected to be the largest IBX in Australia with more than 9,200 cabinets. Guy Danskine, Managing Director of Equinix Australia, said: "We continue to see significant momentum in Australia as technology spend accelerates, driven by the shift to as-a-service consumption models and hybrid multicloud being widely adopted as the architecture of choice. The expansion of our SY5 IBX reflects our strategy to continue enriching business ecosystems with added capacity, so our customers can unlock the enormous potential of digital through interconnection.
"This includes moving out of legacy data centres and locating private infrastructure adjacent to their cloud providers to reduce latency and connect to thousands of service providers on Platform Equinix," Guy added.
He also mentioned that Equinix's planned investments in the region include ongoing expansion plans, such as the completion of its third data centre in Perth due later this year.
Equinix's Australian data centre portfolio
Equinix's data centres in Australia include one Adelaide, one in Brisbane, and one in Canberra, as well as two in Perth, five in Melbourne, and eight in Sydney. Across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the infrastructure organisation has 14 facilities in Japan, five in Hong Kong, four centres in Singapore, one in Seoul, and six in Shanghai.
Better access to renewable energy
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission earlier this week granted Equinix Australia, along with the Australian arms of Nike, H&M, HSBC Bank, and Goldman Sachs, authorisation to form a renewable energy purchasing group to allow them to jointly negotiate access to better renewable energy deals.
The authorisation, effective until 30 September 2045, aims to allow the group to be connected to the National Electricity Market and provides access to green energy from either a solar or wind farm via a joint tender process.

Review: So Weird, "Vampire"
By Cameron White, March 7, 2013
By Cameron White
So Weird
Season 2, Episode 22: "Vampire"
Original airdate: May 20, 2000
Leave it to So Weird to never forget a name. Gabe was introduced way back in season one's "Angel." Gabe and Jack hit it off, and she gifted him her guardian angel necklace. That piece of jewelry (along with Gabe herself, in brief mentions) has reappeared throughout Season 2 as a symbol for both love and faith, two broad concepts that share an ally in trust. Love and faith, incidentally, are exactly the kind of things that can begin healing the wide chasm between the Phillips family members, but their ally, trust, is frequently fragile and threatened on all sides. In a way, Dracula—and more generally, vampires—is a great antagonist for trust. On the outside, he is a suave gentleman. On the inside, in true Victorian fashion, he is a monster with a pulsing desire for the blood of the living.
"Vampire" thus translates the story of Dracula into a modern day setting with a surprisingly novel concept: an online study group known as OSSN. It's Jack's ace-in-the-hole for Ned's grueling homework assignments, which annoys Fi, and more so when Jack convinces Molly to swing by the OSSN headquarters in Milwaukee on the way to Indianapolis. (One thing you can always count on: knowing where the tour bus is on any given episode.) Meanwhile, Brent, the Dracula-esque figure played by David Paetkau, talks about "recruiting" the Phillips family to his second-in-command Pete while staring menacingly at a copy of The Phillips-Kane Band's Another World album.
It's the setup to a solid episode that mixes the best of So Weird with the best of Bram Stoker's classic. Fi's suspicions about Brent and Pete at the OSSN HQ leads her to an all-nighter of online research and discussion. The scene, via Fi's famed chatroom, brings in a couple of notable past characters, like Fi's boyfriend Ryan ("Second Generation"), Candy (Fi's best friend from Hope Springs, last seen in "Medium"), and Gabe, with a cameo by James ("Tulpa," obviously, not the recent "James Garr"). Meanwhile, Brent convinces Molly to give a speech for the induction ceremony for Jack and two other "inductees" named Paige and Rita (who are actually vampires, in another nod to Stoker's novel). He also creeps on the Phillips tour bus a lot, which is more Twilight than anything else, though these vampires are obviously not the good guys.
The dominoes start falling at the induction ceremony, which takes place, as Jack observes, "in a creepy basement," shortly before falling victim to a hand-wave of sleepiness by Brent. Fi escapes for a moment, but Brent traps her, and then he tells her the reason he's established the OSSN as a cover for vampires: Rick Phillips. Turns out, Rick is another person who isn't exactly what he seemed. Rick was responsible for chasing Brent's father back to Romania, which pushed Brent to concoct a revenge scheme that involved the youth of the world becoming vampires through the fast-spreading OSSN. (Talk about ambitious.) As per usual, a new detail about her father is enough to give Fi pause, which allows Brent to trap her in a deep slumber along with her family.
Brent insists on starting with Jack, which is when the second surprising event happens. As Pete unbuttons Jack's shirt, the angel necklace glows with light, pushing back both Brent and Pete as well as waking Jack up from his hypnosis. Fi later lays on thick the point of this event, but it's no less impressive for its implications. Though the show couldn't afford to keep Gabe on the show and maintain a stable presence, the audience was constantly reminded of Jack's more-than-friend through both name and symbol (which, it should not be forgotten, is powered by Fi's love for her brother and Gabe, too); then, the show deploys a complication in Fi's understanding of her father as well as pulling the trigger on why exactly Jack and Gabe's relationship was so important to maintain. Their willingness to stand for each other, and Fi's willingness to stand for her brother (hammered home by a tie-tying scene after Fi's long night of research), is stronger than Brent's desire for revenge. Thus, the traditional Christian symbolism of the Dracula story remains intact, but is now also infused with a dash of So Weird mythos to boot. Pete's doubts about Brent turning to betrayal then gets the Phillips family home safely.
But that complication still hangs over the show after the episode is over. As Fi begins recounting the themes of the episode in a journal with the password "muintir" (the modern Irish word for "parents"), there's a glimpse of a previous journal entry that was clearly written in the wake of "Fall," when Fi and Molly reconciled after the mid-season discovery of Rick's interest in the paranormal. In that entry, Fi expresses doubt that her mother has told her the whole story of Rick Phillips, and "Vampire" seems to confirm that fear by connecting Rick's abstract interest in the paranormal to a concrete event—the scourging of a vampire family from the United States. Bricriu has already said that Rick was taken from the mortal world for stirring up trouble in the spirit world; this is exactly the kind of event that he was talking about back in "Destiny."
Of course, he's still Fi's family. So good or bad, she'll have to trust Rick and "keep the faith" if she wants to know the capital-T truth, the one for which Fox Mulder sacrificed so much in the pursuit. The question remains: is Fi capable of making the same kind of sacrifices? Trust is a fragile friend, indeed.

Pleasantly surprised you got through the vampire episode without mentioning Buffy once. That took restraint.
Cameron White March 9, 2013
Honestly, there weren't many direct comparisons to draw. It was more clearly in the mold of Dracula. Probably shoulda mentioned again how Fiona isn't a superhero like Buffy is; she doesn't slay monsters and she wasn't really the focus of the episode either.
The two lady-vamps are cut from the Cordy/Harmony mold though. So there's that.

George Maris glad to sharing the goal scoring "burden" with the strikers
Read what the midfielder had to say after scoring his sixth goal of the season
Andrew Georgeson
George Maris found the net for the sixth time this season against Carlisle. Picture: Simon Lankester
George Maris said that it's the responsibility of the whole squad to share the goal scoring burden with the strikers.
The midfielder found the net for the sixth time of the season on Saturday, making him the second highest scorer - behind Uche Ikpeazu with 16.
Spreading the goals around the pitch has been a problem this season, with 18 of the U's 39 league goals being scored by either Jabo Ibehre or Uche Ikpeazu.
Ikpeazu has been in a good run of form since Joe Dunne was appointed on an interim basis - scoring four goals in seven games - while Maris has got two and Paul Lewis, Medy Elito and Harrison Dunk have found the net once each.
And while conceding it was unlikely that he will hit his target of 10 goals for the season, the 22-year-old said that he wanted to ensure he can at least continue his run in the team.
"Its always nice to score but it'd be nicer to win," he said.
"I don't know how close I'm going to get to that [a 10-goal haul] but I'll do my best with what is left.
"It's been a good little run that I've had well, since before my concussion, so now I'm back in the side hopefully I can get a run of games and play for the rest of the season.
He continued: "At the start of the season that's what we struggled with [spreading goal around].
"That was a lot of the big focus with only Uche and Jabo scoring so we focused on that in training and I think me, Jevani [Brown] and Liam [O'Neil] have all tried to chip in as much as we can.
"Paul Lewis as well and Medy Elito too, I think we're chipping in more and hopefully that'll help the strikers and take the weight off their shoulders."
And after a tough few fixtures against teams eyeing promotion, Maris admitted that the U's are looking at the next few matches against Crawley and Morecambe as ones that they can take points from.
"Joe just said then that that points return that we've got against some of the top sides is good, now we can look forward some nice – well, nothing is nice in this league – fixtures where we can hopefully pick up three points and see if we can finish the season strongly," he said.

Syrian inventor on his journey of making a solar-powered washing machine [Q&A]
Maysaa Ajjan • 12 October, 2016
Twenty-two-year old Syrian inventor Yaman Abou Jeib has the entrepreneurship community buzzing over him, and for good reason too.
Aside from being the first Syrian inventor to win Qatar's Stars of Science show last year with Glean, a solar-powered washing machine, he was also named among MIT Technology Review's '35 Arab Innovators Under 35'. Abou Jeib is also likely to be the first Syrian to have his entire house powered by solar.
Wamda sat down with Abou Jeib for a discussion on his next steps, and the challenges and milestones of his journey.
Wamda: You're only 22. How have you managed to achieve so much so soon?
Abou Jeib: I started my journey quite early, always knowing I wanted to be an engineer just like my father.
When I was nine years old, my classmates and I enrolled in a science workshop at the Robou' al Sham center in Damascus. I would tinker with all sorts of toolkits and building blocks there. There were no Arduinos back then but I do remember there was a toolkit called Meccano that was popular. And of course, I would tinker with the best inventions ever: books. I read everything I could find.

Wamda: What about work experience?
Abou Jeib: When I was 15, I walked into a privately-owned hardware workshop and asked the owner for a summer internship. He mentored me in electronics and building voltage regulators, inverters, circuits and other things.
The latter was a highly educational experience for me because a few years later, I became a partner at my father's solar firm Aboujeib for Renewable Energy and Electronics (AFREE). The company was founded in 2008 and manufactures photovoltaic panels, wind power devices and solar-powered engines. We would import the devices and assemble them ourselves. The frequent power cuts in Syria due to the war left a huge market for us, as solar generators work with no electricity. AFREE is still operating.
Wamda: Your entire house has also been running on solar power since 2008.
Abou Jeib: Yes, my father and I believe that as scientists, we have to walk the walk. If we were selling solar projects, then we had to have experience living and operating on solar energy. The pumps, lights, filters, fridge and TV all run on solar. In fact, I wouldn't have come up with the Glean concept if we didn't take this step.
Wamda: Tell us about your journey with Stars of Science and developing the idea of Glean.
Abou Jeib: I always watched the show as a teenager. At 18, I decided that I wanted to be part of this program. I really inspired by Egyptian innovator Haytham Dessouky, who won Season 3 with Vivify, a device that transforms any surface into a touch screen.
But first, I had to come up with a solution to a problem. I knew from experience that washing machines were among the most difficult devices for solar engineers to convert. They consume too much water and too much energy. So what I did was disassemble our washing machine and replace its electric heater, which consumed the most energy, with a thermal system. This thermal system heats the water and saves energy. As for the high water consumption, I recycled the discarded water of the machine so it could be used again.
Wamda: How much time did it take to develop Glean?
Abou Jeib: I worked on Glean on and off between 2011 and 2015. I was a university student back then and I let the ideas brew in my head for a while. I also used my dad's mentorship.
Wamda: What was the most challenging part of your journey?
Abou Jeib: This post-show phase is the most difficult part of my journey. When you train as a scientist, they don't teach you business courses or scalability and these things can be challenging. I'm hoping to find the right partner who has experience in selling machines for giants like General Electric (GE) and others.
I'm now one of the 10 teams participating in the 2016 Jusoor Bootcamp, and the purpose of this participation was to come up with a sustainable business model and to hopefully find a partner investor.
Wamda: What advice would you want to give to young entrepreneurs like yourself?
Abou Jeib: Patience, patience, patience. You have to work a long time, find the right mentors and friends until the right moment arrives. I think everything I did in the past decade has been leading me into this phase.

One hundred years ago the new state of Czechoslovakia was already establishing its institutions. While celebrations were still going on in Prague, about 70,000 Czechs and Slovaks were fighting thousands of kilometers from home in Siberia, attempting to gain control over the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Among them was my great-granduncle.
Czechoslovak legionaire Eduard Pohanka (sitting) fell in Russia fighting Bolsheviks, photo: archive of Vít Pohanka In the main square of the town of Žďár you can find a little plaque commemorating fallen legionaries – Czechs and Slovaks who died mostly in Russia fighting for Czechoslovak independence against the Austrian-Hungarian Army or the Germans.
For me this particular plaque is a little personal: one of the 11 names of the natives of Žďár who died in faraway lands is Eduard Pohanka and he was my great-granduncle.
For many years we knew only that he was killed in action somewhere near the Ural Mountains in November 1918 after the official end of the war.
As early as the summer of 1914, a volunteer unit was forming from the members of the Czech and Slovak community in Russia. The idea was that they would fight side by side with the Russians against Austria and Germany in order to liberate the Czech nation.
In August 1914, a Czech battalion was organized and officially named Česká družina – Czech Companions. It went to the front that year and was deployed in Galicia.
The original idea was that the Czechs would help with war propaganda and as translators, as the Russian command expected to advance quickly into what is now the Czech Republic.
That did not happen and the front more or less stalled, with the armies deadlocked in trench warfare. So the Russians decided to use the Czech volunteers as intelligence agents – basically as scouts. So the Czech units were dispersed with various Russian divisions against the Austrian-Hungarian Army.
As the war dragged on, thousands of Czech soldiers who were forced into the Austrian Army were captured by the Russians and became prisoners of war. Many others, sometimes whole units, simply deserted and crossed the front rather than continue fighting and dying for Austria. Soon they started joining the Russian Army.
Czechoslovak legionaries in Russia, photo: Public Domain And that was also how my great-grand uncle Eduard found himself on the Russian side. We do not know exactly when and where he crossed the lines. As a trained and skilled machinist he was certainly welcome –Czech prisoners of war were well-known for helping to run Russian railroads and factories.
But things were to become complicated. The Russian Communists (or Bolsheviks as they were then known) toppled the provisional government of Kerensky.
This is how Eduard found himself fighting for control of the Trans-Siberian Railroad near the Ural Mountains in autumn of 1918. And according to the written documents that I received from the Military History Institute, it was on 8 November that he was killed in action, near the small village of Kordon.
Record of death of Eduard Pohanka, photo: archive of Czech Military History Institute It is not much, but at least we know where he is buried and that he died fighting the Bolsheviks. What is perhaps most important, he did not give his life in vain: his brothers in arms in the Czechoslovak Legions managed to take control of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and within two years evacuated about 70,000 Czechs and Slovaks via Vladivostok to Europe.
The Czechoslovak Legions had been evacuated from Russia by the spring of 1920. Some sailed from Vladivostok to the west coast of America, then went by rail to the East and again across the Atlantic to Europe. But the majority went around South Asia and via the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean and then to the Italian port of Trieste.
Eduard Pohanka did not make it back to his native Žďár. But together with thousands of others, he left us, his descendants, a proud legacy. The plaque on the main square of this small town reminds us that he must not be forgotten.

European Union recovery funds: strings attached, but not tied up in knots
Ensuring effective recovery spending is a high-stakes challenge for the European Union, with the potential for derailment because of fuzzy objectives and overloaded procedures. The EU should work with member countries to identify limited policies that will maximise the impact of EU investment, while accounting for spillovers.

Q: Access Requests Unable To Approve I am the Site Collection Admin of a site that has a couple pending requests for access. Usually, there is a context menu you can click then select Approve or Deny. It doesn't appear under this screen anymore so I have no way to approve the user's access.

Has anyone seen this for an SCA? What is a workaround for approval besides adding them manually?

A: Check who will receive access requests for the site.
Set up and manage access requests for your reference:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/set-up-and-manage-access-requests-94b26e0b-2822-49d4-929a-8455698654b3

A: This is a current bug, see advisory message SP207180 that is posted in the Office 365 admin center and suggested workaround:

Title: All admins may be unable to address access requests for classic
  SharePoint Online sites in admin center
User Impact: Admins are unable to approve or deny access requests to
  classic sites in the SharePoint Online admin center.
More info: The approve and deny buttons aren't populating.
As a workaround, admins can sort the users requests using any field
  and the accept/ decline buttons will populate.
Current status: We've validated a code fix for this issue and expect
  deployment to complete by Monday, March 30, 2020.
Scope of impact: This issue may affect any admin attempting to approve
  or deny user access requests to classic SPO sites through the SPO
  Admin center.
Estimated time to resolve: We expect deployment to be completed on
  Monday, March 30, 2020.
Root cause: A recent deployment caused the accept/ decline button not
  to populate for admins within the SPO admin center.

A: As mheptinstall said, this issue is reported in Office 365 admin center-> Service health.
As a workaround, admins can sort the users requests using any field and the accept/ decline buttons will populate.

Attention all men!! If you are planning on bringing back the beard, bearding for the first time or just thinking of it, here's some tips to keep in mind while you decide which way to go about it. There's few truly great beards and a whole lot of NOOOOOs. If you think you're creative and handy with the razor/trimmer, go right ahead. However, if you're useless with precision, don't try this at home. You're best to go to a barbers and once you've got the shape you want, you can take it from there and just tidy and trim from time to time.
YAAAAAS: Good structure, even-ness in length, no weird patches.
ATTENTION BEST FRIENDS: If your friend's beard is wack, be sound and tell them. Some people are better off looking 12 than a patchy garden bush.

In a user-interface application, a computing apparatus has a user-interface to assist the user in searching for information from a data array. In an example embodiment according to the present invention, the data array is an ordered list of addresses. In a UI so equipped, the user experiences a particular sequence of events. The user begins at a point on a list of addresses. After the user rotates a jog/shuttle knob, the list rolls down a low rate. As the user rotates the jog/shuttle knob further the scroll accelerates. After a predetermined time or number of items, a helper character is displayed. This character may represent a first letter of a name or a first digit of a telephone number. The UI displays the helper character to the user. The user continues to hold the position of the jog/shuttle knob until a help character, corresponding to his/her desired selection, appears. The user releases the jog/shuttle knob and may step through among a smaller group of data to locate the particular selection by incrementally rotating the knob from the neutral position.
This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application (Attorney Docket No. US 028002P) filed on Jan. 8, 2002 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
FIG. 3 depicts an example embodiment according to the present invention as is implemented in a handheld device.
Refer to FIG. 1. The process, according to the present invention, is outlined. The procedure  100 begins at a list start point 110. The search is begun when the user rotates the knob 120 slightly The UI does a slow scroll 130. If the scroll 130 is too slow, the user may rotate the knob 120 further. A helper character is displayed 150. The helper character 150 represents the cluster of data currently being scrolled over. The user observes the display until the helper character displayed is in the vicinity 160 of the data he/she desires; that is, the helper character indicates the cluster sought. Having found the desired data, the user releases the knob 170. The knob springs back to its neutral position thus assisting the user in arresting the scrolling quickly. The list either scrolls forward or backward depending upon whether the knob 120 is rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise.
In another embodiment according to the present invention, such a scrolling procedure  100 may also be performed using a pressure-sensitive device such as a touch pad. The scroll moves in proportion to the force exerted by the user's finger or stylus. Forward or backward motion of the scroll may be defined by selected areas on the touch pad.
Refer to FIG. 2. In an example screen UI  200, the user starts at a point in an alphabetically ordered list 210 whose entries begin with the letter "B." The user is interested in viewing an entry whose name begins with the letter "E." The user rotates the knob; the list starts to step down at a low rate. Scrolling starts off slowly at the rate of about one line per second in step 220.
If desired, the knob is rotated further and the scrolling speeds up in step  230. After a predetermined time (T1) or number of items, the screen area for the scrolling list is replaced by a single large character representing the first character of the cluster of items currently displayed in the window (or on the first line of the window for a window that has multiple lines). It is difficult to read the entries as they pass; a large "helper" letter ("B") 240 supersedes above the list. In another embodiment, the "helper" letter may appear to the right or left (top or bottom) of the scrolled list and not cover the entire screen area.
The list goes through the alphabet, as depicted by helper letters "C"  241, "D" 242, and "E" 243. The user releases the scroll button, having reached the vicinity of interest in step 244, upon viewing the helper letter "E" 243. When the user finally releases the knob, the entry in the list "closest" to the helper letter (or letters) is selected and displayed as the first item in the scroll list window in the UI screen 200.
An example embodiment may also incorporate "decelerating" the scroll. If the user releases the knob momentarily during the "fast scroll", but re-rotates the knob before a certain time elapses (T 3), the scroll continues. The spring-loaded knob also provides for a rapid stop of the scrolling data so that the user does not overshoot his desired selection. The neutral position is defined as "stop." Rather than the single character being displayed incrementing on screen at the T2 rate, a second letter appears alongside the first and that would increment instead. For example, the display would increment as "EA," "EB," "EC." This of course can be extended to a third and four letters, as appropriate for a given application. Each subsequent short release of the scroll knob adds an additional letter to the display. The helper display encompasses a smaller subset of scrolling data. This short-release of the knob may be described as momentarily releasing the knob so that it springs back to the neutral position, then re-rotating it (at a predetermined angle) to continue the scrolling. Again, as mentioned earlier, the helper characters may be displayed along the side of the scrolled list.
The invention may be implemented on a handheld device in an example embodiment according to the present invention. Refer to FIG. 3. As depicted in a block diagram, a handheld device  300 comprises an actuator 310 and a display 340. The user interface may be a spring loaded jog/shuttle dial, joystick, or track pad. The user may actuate the actuator 310 to scroll either up or down. User interaction software 320 works in response to the selected key and the array of choices stored in memory 350. In the example handheld device, the memory 350 may have addresses and phone numbers. The user interaction software 320 provides output to software performing an action based on the user selection 360 and to user interface generation software 330. The UI generation software 330 generates information for the display 340 to depict the helper character or array entry along with presentation attributes such a font style, size, color, and object placement.
a force-sensitive interface, operative to enable a user to scroll through an ordered list of a data array that is rendered on the information rendering device.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein the information-rendering device is selected from at least one of the following: visual display, audio output, tactile feedback.
a helper character-generator, actuated by continued user actuation of the array scroller, the helper character generator being operative to render a helper indication representative of a portion in the list being scrolled.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein, the helper character generator conditionally renders a record of additional helper characters.
generating a helper character representative of a portion of the list being scrolled.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the data processing environment comprises a distributed environment.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the force-sensitive interface comprises at least one of the following: jog/shuttle dial, touch pad, drawing tablet, mouse scroll wheel, joystick.
a force-sensitive user-interface for control of a speed of scrolling through the list rendered on the rendering device.
instructions for generating a helper character representative of a portion of the list being scrolled.
10. The software of claim 9 wherein the computer-readable media comprises at least one of the following: semiconductor memory, optical storage, magnetic storage, client/server data storage.


With the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) scheduled to go into effect in May of 2018 – an ambitious effort to harmonize a patchwork of EU privacy laws and create a uniform privacy regime that restricts the collection, processing and use of individual information – Germany has become the first member state to amend its own privacy laws in anticipation of the coming changes.
In May 2017, the German Federal Council ('Bundesrat') passed an act intended to bring the current German data protection laws in line with the requirements of the GDPR. On July 5, 2017, the new German Federal Data Protection Act ('Bundesdatenschutzgesetz'), referred to as the German Data Protection Act, was countersigned by the German Federal President and published in the Federal Law Gazette. The Act utilizes some of the framework and concepts of the GDPR to enhance Germany's existing data protection rules, while at the same time modifies existing German privacy rules to allow for certain data to be used more freely in cases of national security and employment.
Under the new German law, employee data can be processed if "necessary" to establish or carry out the employment relationship (for example, to enforce a collective bargaining agreement). Although this is not a substantive change from existing law, some clarifications have been made to indicate when an employee will be deemed to have "freely consented" to data use or disclosure as part of the employee-employer relationship. The law also allows for the collection of certain health data, including genetic information, as necessary for medical treatment or for public health interests so long as the data can be anonymized or appropriately encrypted to prevent inadvertent disclosure. Certain sensitive medical data could also be used for scientific research where the company using the data takes "suitable and specific measures" to protect it.
In one provision that is certain to get close scrutiny, the law limits a consumer's right to access their own data and exempts companies from having to erase or destroy personal data if fulfilling a consumer's request would either be impossible or the effort required to do so is much greater than the purported interest in such erasure. This provision seems directly at odds with the GDPR's goal of extending to citizens a so-called "right to be forgotten" or to have their data deleted upon request. How Germany reconciles the changes to its own privacy laws with those of the GDPR remains to be seen, but conflict between the two is likely to result in litigation. Indeed, the new German law also provides for the right of German data protection authorities to challenge decisions of the European Commission in court.
Commentators have also already noted that over the next year, adjustments to the law are likely as new data protection laws of the German Federal States ('Bundesländer') and sector-specific data protection laws are enacted. Although the goal of uniform privacy laws may be enviable, in practice this will remain illusory, even within large countries, much less across member states. And, of course, companies must remain mindful of the patchwork of data privacy rules impacting their business in order to minimize the monetary and reputational risks that can flow from the mishandling of sensitive data.


What Are Intelligent P&IDs and their Advantages?
Intelligent P&IDs for piping systems are 2D Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams generated using symbols for equipment, instruments, components etc. and lines representing pipelines, instrumentation signal lines etc. as well as general elements, customized as per each client's requirements. The information stored with each Intelligent P&ID consists of minimum required attributes for design, analysis, procurement, maintenance etc. The inputs for such intelligence would be from process flow sheets, instrumentation schematics, equipment data sheets, valve and instrumentation specification sheets, piping material specifications, etc. and can also be in the form of drawings and documents.
The P&ID database so generated from Intelligent P&IDs for the entire plant/project, when linked to the Central Database of INFOplant, the integrated Plant Information Management System from SST Systems, Inc., leads to numerous advantages over conventional non-intelligent P&IDs, as listed below.
Captures organizes and updates data related to design, procurement, construction etc.
Provides single data entry with outputs such as Line List, Valve List, Equipment List, etc.
Associates engineering data, drawings, and documents to graphics.
Checks the integrity of the processes captured in that Intelligent P&ID and the corresponding intelligent 3D Plant model at all times and helps in resolving discrepancies between them.
Alerts layout designers about process changes.
Generates standard AutoCAD files with built-in intelligence. Highlights graphically in Intelligent P&ID the equipment, valves, instruments and specialties that are placed in the 3D Plant model.
Generates reports on items placed in intelligent 3D Plant model in line with Intelligent P&IDs.
From Intelligent P&ID database, plant operating and maintenance (O&M) personnel could at any time rapidly retrieve attributes of equipment, nozzles, pipelines, valves etc.
The plant O&M personnel could use Intelligent P&IDs to arrive at alternate processes in case of failure of any equipment (such as a pump), leakage of a valve etc.
Intelligent P&ID database can be extended to include customized inspection/maintenance management functions or can be linked directly to the client's in-house database systems.
The Intelligent P&IDs will also help in any future retrofit / expansion project.

So You Think You Know: Paul Revere
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…
We are all familiar with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem recounting the exploits of one of our most renowned patriots, Paul Revere. As such, we all know that Paul Revere singlehandedly warned the Massachusetts countryside of the coming attack by the British regulars, helping the colonists to defeat the British in the first small battles of the Revolutionary War.
Except that it's not true.
Longfellow's famous poem was actually written in 1860 many years after the end of the Revolutionary War. In fact, the poem had absolutely nothing to do with Revolutionary zeal and was instead intended to appeal to the Northerners' sense of urgency and patriotism as the nation entered into the Civil War. The poem's final stanza is actually a call to action, urging readers to remember the patriotism and courage of the birth of the nation:
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
This poem is often the people's primary source of information regarding the midnight ride, but the truth of the night of April 18, 1775 is very different from the story related in Longfellow's poem. Among the historical inaccuracies are:
The focus on Paul Revere. The midnight ride of April 18 was actually undertaken by several men, including William Dawes, Samuel Prescott, and dozens of other men whose names did not survive history. Longfellow (and history) gave Revere the credit primarily because his name rhymed better than Dawes's or Prescott's.
The lantern signal. While there was a lantern signal hung in the tower of the Old North Church, the signal was not meant for Revere. The signal was actually from Revere as he was the man who arranged for the church sexton to hang the lanterns.
Revere's cry. Revere did not wander the countryside yelling "The British are coming!" For one thing, Revere was trying to elude British soldiers – screaming out a warning would have been a pretty dumb move. Secondly, most colonists still considered themselves to be British – they would have been pretty confused by the phrase, "The British are coming."
Revere's success. The poem implies that Revere's mission was a complete success. Revere had intended to ride to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the movements of the British regulars (which he did) and then on to Concord where the militia's arsenal was hidden. Revere never finished his ride – the only rider to actually complete the mission was Samuel Prescott.
While Longfellow's poem is certainly an example of patriotic writing, it should never be considered an accurate source of historical information. (Neither, apparently, should Sarah Palin, who famously said that Paul Revere warned the British by ringing bells; Palin offers sound proof that our public education system's handling of American history education leaves much to be desired.) So the next time that someone tells you that Paul Revere saved the nation, don't be afraid to show a little skepticism.

La Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros es un cargo ministerial de la República Argentina, desempeñado por un jefe de Gabinete. Corresponde a un funcionario de la Constitución Nacional y surge como consecuencia de la reforma constitucional de 1994, al incorporar una figura del sistema parlamentario que concentre funciones administrativas y sea nexo entre el poder ejecutivo y el poder legislativo, y así atenuar el poder presidencial. Desde el 15 de febrero de 2023, el cargo es ejercido por el peronista Agustín Rossi.

Su rol, atribuciones y obligaciones se detallan en los artículos 100 y 101 de la Constitución Nacional, profundizadas en el art. 16 del Decreto 684/2003. Designado por el presidente de la Nación, es el ministro con mayor rango, ya que es el único con responsabilidad política ante el Congreso, puede ser interpelado por cualquiera de las dos cámaras y removido por el voto de la mayoría absoluta de ambas cámaras, sin el procedimiento de un juicio político.

Entre sus funciones, asiste al presidente en la administración nacional, supervisa las políticas públicas del gobierno, encabeza y coordina el trabajo de los ministerios y realiza una rendición de cuentas mensual ante el Congreso. El jefe de Gabinete ejerce la administración general del país y, junto con los demás ministros, refrenda y legaliza los actos del presidente por medio de su firma, sin cuyo requisito carecen de eficacia.

Atribuciones
Entre las funciones que la Constitución asigna al Jefe de Gabinete de Ministros se encuentran:
 ejercer la administración general del país, coordinar y preparar las reuniones de gabinete de ministros,

Sedes

Desde su creación en 1994, la Jefatura de Gabinete tiene por sede principal el ex edificio SOMISA en Av. Presidente Julio A. Roca 782. Construido para la empresa siderúrgica SOMISA con una estructura totalmente hecha en acero, pasó a manos del Estado Nacional con la privatización de la compañía en 1991, cuando su interventor Jorge Triaca remató el edificio completo.

De todas formas, el Despacho del Jefe de Gabinete de Ministros, la Secretaría de Gabinete y la Secretaría de Comunicación Pública se encuentran en oficinas de la Casa Rosada, sede de la Presidencia de la Nación. Otras dependencias funcionan en otros inmuebles: parte de la Secretaría de Gabinete está en el antiguo Banco Argentino Uruguayo (Av. Presidente Roque Sáenz Peña 511); la Secretaría de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable está en San Martín 451 y la Comisión Nacional de Tierras para el Hábitat Social "Padre Carlos Mugica" está en Av. Corrientes 1302.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Benjamin Thompson & Associates
Bruce Nagel (BN+PA - Managing Partner) - Project Designer
New Life, Old Fabric
Benjamin Thompson's winning scheme for the historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace gave a huge boost to downtown Boston and to adaptive reuse.
When the 1975 P/A Awards jurors honored the Faneuil Hall Marketplace proposal, they couldn't have realized how successful the project would be. Completed in 1978, the complex has been a linchpin of downtown Boston activity, attracting some 12 million visits annually. And this year it won the AIA's 25-Year Award, bestowed for the first time ever on a reuse project.
The original buildings adapted for this marketplace were in their own right an audacious urban development in 1825. The central market hall and two parallel rows of commercial loft structures all extend over 500 feet, with massive walls of cut granite. By the mid-1960s, the food wholesalers who long occupied these halls had moved out. The city acquired the complex and restored the exteriors, but for years the buildings stood empty.
Architect Benjamin Thompson worked with Boston officials to establish a design concept and a program of food stalls, shops, and restaurants. Then he played a key role in recruiting James Rouse as the developer. Once success at Faneuil Hall was apparent, Thompson and Rouse went on to collaborate on marketplace developments in Baltimore, Miami, and New York.
Thompson's major architectural move was to add glazed lean-tos to either side of the central structure, echoing the forms of the metal sheds that once clung to its flanks. The reuse plans also involved sensitive design of the project's pedestrian streets, its graphics, and—above all—its management policies. Generations of Bostonians and tourists have mingled in the resulting lively environment?

"For the past five weeks, Democrats have demanded that reopening the government must be a prerequisite to negotiations on President Trump's demands for funding for border security, including a border wall. The government has now been reopened and the Democrats have run out of excuses not to negotiate in good faith.
"We now have three weeks to find out whether reopening the government was a talking point or a true commitment on the part of congressional Democrats to address a national crisis. Our national illegal immigration and border emergency isn't going away in three weeks, but that's enough time to approve the first step of solving the problem by approving the president's request for wall funding and asylum reforms.
"Today's Continuing Resolution agreement should also clear the way for the president to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress and the American people. The security of our borders and the integrity of our immigration and asylum process is critical to the state of our union. The president deserves the opportunity to make his case directly to the American people for why a border wall and reforms to our asylum and detention policies are urgently needed.

The opposition parties are sparing no chance of accusing the ruling BJP of massing huge funds, and it quite true that the party's coffers have been brimming over in the past few years. The corporate and other moneybags have opened their purse strings for the party. However, the bees in Ashok Road garden say that the party has set out such a massive budget for the 2019 polls, that what it has is still not enough! This is why the PM's Namo app has been tweaked to make it possible for the party to request donations from the public. The denominations can range from Rs 5 to Rs 1,000. There was a time when the veteran Haryana politico Devilal had coined the slogan of 'One note, one vote'. And since Monday, Namo's app has gone into working mode.
