R v Shane Mays
James Newton-Price QC and Andrew Houston have successfully prosecuted Shane Mays for the murder of 16 year old Louise Smith who was his wife's niece. The trial attracted widespread attention in local and national news media. On 8 May 2020, Mays lured Louise to a secluded clearing in the woods near Havant in Hampshire where he killed her by repeatedly striking blows to her head. He also violated her body sexually then returned to the scene to attempt to burn her body. A major missing persons inquiry and search commenced when she failed to return home to meet her boyfriend. Mays lied to the police about taking her to a skate park and denied killing her. Louise's body was eventually found 13 days later on 21 May. The Prosecution presented harrowing evidence of the state of her body and her injuries at the trial before Mrs Justice May at Winchester Crown Court. The Judge and Jury were taken to the scene of the killing during the trial. The Jury convicted Mays of murder on 8 December 2020. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years before he can be considered for release. The Judge described his actions as 'grotesque' and a 'gross breach of trust'. The case was notable for the brutality of the killing and the thorough police investigation which tracked the movements of the perpetrator and the victim with CCTV and mobile telephone evidence.

Q: Expressing a particle's matter wave in terms of its momentum I'm following Zettili's QM book and on p. 39 the following manipulation is done,
Given a localized wave function (called a wave packet), it can be expressed as $$\psi(x,t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2  \pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \phi(k) e^{i(kx-\omega t)} dk$$ Now use the de broglie relations: $p = \hbar k$ and $E = \hbar \omega$ and define $\tilde{\phi}(p) = \phi(\frac{k}{\hbar})$.
This should yield $$\psi(x,t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2  \pi \hbar}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \tilde{\phi}(p) e^{i(px-E t)/ \hbar} dp$$ but I get $$\psi(x,t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{ 2 \pi} \hbar}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \phi\biggl(\frac{p}{h}\biggr) e^{i(px-E t)/ \hbar} dp$$ when I make the change-of-variable $k=\frac{p}{\hbar}$. What am I missing?

A: In bra-ket notation your formulas should look as follows
$$
\left<x\right.\left|\psi\right> =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\left<x\right.\left|k\right>
\left<k\right.\left|\psi\right> dk =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\left<x\right.\left|p\right>
\left<p\right.\left|\psi\right> dp
$$
where
$\left<k\right.\left|\psi\right> = \phi(k)\exp(-i\omega t)$ and $\left<p\right.\left|\psi\right> = \tilde\phi(p)\exp(-i\omega t)$
are the wavefunctions in terms of $k$ and $p$;
$\left<x\right.\left|k\right>$ and $\left<x\right.\left|p\right>$ are the eigenfunctions of the operators $\hat{k}$ and $\hat{p}$ respectively.
These eigenfunctions should be normalized and the usual normalization for continuous quantum numbers ($k$ and $p$) is the one with delta function:
$$
\left<k'\right.\left|k\right> =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\left<k'\right.\left|x\right>
\left<x\right.\left|k\right> dx =
\delta(k'-k)
$$
The eigenfunctions normalized like this are
$$
\left<x\right.\left|k\right> = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{ikx}
$$
and
$$
\left<x\right.\left|p\right> = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\hbar}} e^{ipx/\hbar}
$$
So here is the lost $\sqrt{\hbar}$, in the normalization coefficient.
Edit: version without bra-kets
$$
\psi(x, t) =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\xi_k(x)\varphi(k,t) dk =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\tilde\xi_p(x)\tilde\varphi(p,t) dp
$$
where
$$
\varphi(k,t) = \phi(k)\exp(-i\omega t) =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty \xi_k^*(x)\psi(x, t) dx
$$
and
$$
\tilde\varphi(p,t) = \tilde\phi(p)\exp(-i\omega t) =
\int_{-\infty}^\infty \tilde\xi_p^*(x)\psi(x, t) dx
$$
are the wavefunctions in terms of $k$ and $p$;
$\xi_k(x)$ and $\tilde\xi_p(x)$ are the eigenfunctions of the operators $\hat{k}$ and $\hat{p}$ respectively.
These eigenfunctions should be normalized and the usual normalization for continuous quantum numbers ($k$ and $p$) is the one with delta function:
$$
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
\xi_{k'}^*(x)\xi_k(x) dx =
\delta(k'-k)
$$
The eigenfunctions normalized like this are
$$
\xi_k(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{ikx}
$$
and
$$
\tilde\xi_p(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\hbar}} e^{ipx/\hbar}
$$
So here is the lost $\sqrt{\hbar}$, in the normalization coefficient.

A: The culprit seems to be a typo
$$\widetilde{\phi}(p) ~=~ \phi(\frac{k}{\hbar})   \qquad\qquad ({\rm Wrong!})$$
right above eq. (1.98) in the 1st edition of N. Zettili, Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications, which is corrected to
$$\widetilde{\phi}(p) ~=~ \frac{\phi(k)}{\sqrt{\hbar}}$$
in the 2nd edition, see also a comment from Maksim Zholudev.

I like to build these little wood boxes studded with vacuum tubes lit by blinking LEDs. I call them "BlinkenBoxes" and they delight me for the simple fact that when you flip the switch they light up and blink, and that is all they do.
A friend has been going through a bunch of difficult stuff recently, and were were going to be getting together with her on a Saturday. That morning I decided to build her a BlinkenBox. So with about three hours before we had to leave, that is what I did. With the time frame I was limited to only things I had on hand, fortunately I keep a lot of random stuff on hand, so I wasn't lacking for options.
This is what I started with, a simple cheap balsa wood box from a craft store. I bought a few of these a while back with a plan to build a Useless Machine for exactly the same reason I love my BlinkenBoxes, but I never got around to it.
Next up was rooting through my box of vacuum tubes for a few that had the right look. Like many people into steampunk & dieselpunk I love the look of old tubes. I bought this box when I was building Templebot as a huge box full cost only a little more than the few I needed for that project(this same fluke of costs is why I have hundreds of LEDS for a project that needed less than two dozen).
I decided to have one huge tube sprouting up out of the top of the box, and a window on the front with a few smaller tubes behind it. So out came the hole saw and I attacked the box. I decided to make everything off-center both to make it more interesting, and to make at least part of the inside of the box usable to store stuff. As soon as I'd gotten the holes made, I wiped the box down with some cherry stain left over from restoring the floors in our house. Which went a long way to making the box look fancier than it actually was.
As you can see from how I was holding the tube in the picture above, I needed something to space it up so it would protrude how I wanted it to. Using some scrap balsa I built a small platform that could hold the tube up, and hide most of the wiring as well. Once it was built it was sprayed flat black to keep it from standing out. I also added a divider between the blinky stuff side and the storage side.
Next up a screen was added to the front "window", and the switch was mounted. For me the switch is the best part of these, so I use real heavy-duty switches so they have a proper "clunk" feel when thrown. This particular switch was salvaged from my old artcar "Scar" before it was scrapped.
I wired up the tubes using these excellent LEDs I found on ebay a few years ago. They are RGBs and blink semi-randomly through all three colors on their own. I used the same ones for the tubes in Templebot's head. The LEDs for the two smaller tubes are actually a bit below the tubes so they would light the whole front of the box, not just the tubes.
Since I was in a hurry and it was a simple circuit, I use some speaker wire and soldered it together and used hot-glue to insulate the connections. It is ugly, but hidden so it doesn't matter. Amusingly the only thing I didn't have on hand for this project was a 9-volt battery. I had to steal one out of a smoke-detector to test the thing, and buy one on the way up to give it to her.
Once it was wired some final tweaks were done (painting the inside of the compartment black, painting the grill from silver to black to make the tubes more visible, adding a divider so the battery wasn't visible from the front) and it was done.
And when given to our friend, it got exactly the gleeful response I had been hoping for.
Arisia SF convention was this weekend in Boston. I didn't make any new costumes or props this year as the house has eaten nearly all my free time & money. But I did get a chance to stomp around in my Steampunk stilts a few times over the weekend.
This has been an ongoing project to build a set of steampunk powered armor. I've been adding bits and pieces since I started the project in 2008.
One of these days I'll do a writeup of the various bits & pieces. But for now enjoy the pictures.

3.1 Shark Reproduction
Sharks belong to the group of elasmobranch fish classified by the cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head. Modern Sharks are categorized within the Clade Selachimorpha and are the sister group to the rays. The sharks are the known from the back 420 million years ago.
The sharks are diversified into over 500 species. They have the range from small size, the dwarf lanternshark which is species of deep water to largest fish in the world, whale shark which length reaches up to 12 meters. Sharks are found in all seas and it is common at the depth of 2,000 meters.
What is Shark Fish
Most of the peoples think that a shark is swimming animal with big fins and pointy teeth. But the truth is there are more than 500 species of the shark found in the seas or ocean. The sharks are generally not live in the freshwater except river shark and bull shark which can easily survive in the freshwater and seawater.
The sharks are able to swim forward. Many sharks have to keep swimming in the regular breath. There are some pieces of evidence that sharks are evolved before the age of dinosaurs. The sharks have the identity of being dangerous which is almost not true.

What does Shark look like?
The shark fish skeleton is very different from the other bony fish and terrestrial vertebrates. Sharks and other cartilaginous fish have skeletons made of cartilage and connective tissue. Cartilage is durable and flexible and about half the normal density of bone. This reduces the skeleton's weight and helps in saving energy.
Because the sharks do not have rib cages which cause they can easily be crushed under their own weight on land. The sharks have the jaws similar to the rays and skates and not attached to the cranium. The jaw's surface needs extra support due to its heavy exposure to the physical stress and it also needs for strength.
The fins are elongated and supported with the unsegmented rays known as the ceratotrichia, filaments of elastic protein resembling the horny keratin in hair and feathers. Most of the sharks have the total eight fins.
The sharks have a complex dermal corset made of flexible collagenous fibers and arranged as a helical network surrounding their body. This is work as an outer skeleton that provides attachment for their swimming muscles and thus saving energy.
Shark Species
There are hundreds of Shark species in the world. The most common Species of sharks are mentioned below.
Shark Facts
There are almost 500 species of shark across the world.
The sharks have the rows of teeth and to have replacements when lost teeth within a day.
A shark has the tough skin that covered by the dermal denticles which are usually small plates covered with enamel similar that found on our teeth.
Sharks are able to detect the movement in the water.
Some species of sharks have to constantly move to get the oxygen and also sleep during moving in water.
Few species lay eggs while other species of sharks don't lay eggs at all.
A large whale shark can live up to 150 years.
Only 10 species of sharks are dangerous for the humans.
The humans are the big threat to sharks due to fishing or bycatch which causes millions of death of sharks each year.
Sharks have evolved around 400 million years ago.
The skeleton of the shark made up of cartilage rather than bone.
The sharks don't have the gas-filled swim bladders, unlike other fish.
Most of the sharks have 8 rigid fins.
All shark species are carnivorous.
Sharks can easily find in all seas.
Sharks can detect the blood from the long distances.
Sharks have the keen eyesight and ears.
Sharks can easily detect the electricity.
The average shark life is up to 20-30 years.
On average, a shark attacks and kill 10 humans per year while humans are killing 20-30 million sharks annually as per the report of Florida Museum of Natural History's Department of Ichthyology. Not all species of sharks attacks on the humans as there are only about 10 species that actually attacks the humans.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration explained it that sharks don't hunt the humans usually. But if they attack the human then it will be just mistaken identity. Sometimes sharks will investigate the food items by taking a taste. The sharks have the row of the teeth due to a single bite of the shark can lead to bleed individual until death.
Shark Life Span
It is the difficult task to track the sharks due to they are migratory and have the different feeding patterns. Recently, the GPS technology is introduced by which it becomes easy to track the sharks in the deep sea as well. Shark has the lifespan that varies by species as most of them live up to 20 to 30 years in the wild, there are some species that live longer than others. The whale shark can live up to 100 years.
The Great White Sharks is around 30 years but other research indicates that they can reach up to 40 years. The lifespan of Tiger Sharks can live up 27 years in the wild although some of them can live up to 50 years. The Hammerhead sharks have a typical lifespan from 20 to 30 years approximately.
Shark Diet
All sharks are carnivores and they live feed other animals as opposed to vegetation. Most of the sharks live on the flesh while some species of sharks prefer to eat carrion. It made up of the remains of fish and other marine animals that have already died.
Sharks use their sharp teeth that just wait to tear up their prey. This can be true in the large and aggressive sharks. The whale shark feeds on plankton and small bony fish. For the reason, its teeth are largely undeveloped.
Shark Fish Size
The biggest shark is the whale shark which length can be up to 46 feet while there is also the smaller size of sharks also which length hardly reach 7-8 inches long, named Spined Pygmy shark.
Some species have the intermediate of 5-7 feet which is equal to the human beings. The species mostly found in the deep blue sea at the depth of 2000 m. Not all sharks are harmful to the humans.
Are Sharks Mammals or Fish?
Sharks are fish, not mammals. Mammals are a large group of diverse animals that have the certain characteristics in common. One of these characteristics is those female mammals can produce milk for their young ones. But shark doesn't produce the milk. So, they are not mammals.
Mammals are warm-blooded and able to regulate the temperature of its own body. While sharks are cold-blooded and highly dependent on the external conditions. The sharks belong to the fish because they have the skeleton that is entirely composed of cartilage and is equipped with tough, leathery and scaleless skin.
Shark Habitat
Sharks are easily adapted to the new conditions and environments that is the main reason they survived for a long time. The habitat of the shark depends on the species of the shark. Sharks are cold blooded and hard to find in the cold temperatures water.
However, this is not true as there are sharks living in warm, temperature, and cold waters. The sharks are preferred to live in the deep water. Sharks have very few enemies that are able to move freely in the water as they desire. They are loners and mostly travels alone.
Shark Reproduction
The sharks are K-selected reproducers that mean they produce a small number of well developed young as opposed to a large number of poorly developed young. Sharks range from 2 to 100 young per reproductive cycle. Sharks mature slowly relative to much other fish. Lemon sharks reach sexual maturity at age around 13-15 years. The sharks practice internal fertilization. Mating is the rarely observed in the sharks. The most of the female species have the bite marks on their skin due to courtship behavior.
Unlike the other bony fish, the shark's eggs are fertilized inside the female's body. Most sharks give birth to the live young, but some release eggs that hatch later. The gestation period can be up to almost two years long. Baby sharks are born with the full set of teeth. They are able to take care of themselves after hatch. They are quick in swimming and easily escape from their mothers who might eat them.
There are almost only 10 species that can harm the humans while humans are fishing millions of sharks every year. The most of the species of sharks found in the deep water about 2,000 meters. There are more than 500 species of sharks. If you want to know more about the Shark Fish then explore this site to gain more knowledge.

The House of Moulton
By BH history fan on October 22, 2017
The Moulton House today and in 1920 Harris Co. Catalogue
This 6-room,1-bath mail order house located at 8409 58th Avenue was built in 1920 – 1921 by the Berwyn Heights Company.1 It was purchased by Catherine A. Moulton (1874-1938) and her daughters Monemia and Parthia, joint tenants, in February 1922.2 Prior to purchasing the home, Catherine lived in Dorchester County on Maryland's Eastern Shore. She was married to Francis J. Moulton (1868-1909), who worked as an oysterman off Hooper's Island in the Chesapeake Bay.3 They had 5 children: twin girls Monemia and Parthia born in 1901, then Howard (1903), Charles (1905) and Lilly (1909).4
Catherine, nee Fitzpatrick, was an immigrant. She came to America from Ireland with her family in April 1887 aboard the ocean liner City of Montreal.5 Francis, on the other hand, grew up in a prominent New England family. He was born in France to Charles Raymond and Lillie (Greenough) Moulton.6 His Moulton ancestors had first settled in Saalem, MA in the late 1600s, and their English forebears trace their lineage to Thomas Moulton who fought with William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.7
A Moulton Family Crest
Charles R. Moulton was a wealthy banker, and a son of Charles F. Moulton, a merchant from Troy, NY, who had accumulated a great fortune in the cotton trade. Charles Sr. was a personal friend of Louis Napoleon, and he and his family moved to Paris when Napoleon became Emperor of France in 1852.8 The Moultons owned several houses in and near Paris, including the Chateau de Petit Val, where Charles Jr. and his wife Lillie would reside after their marriage. Lillie was a famous soprano and an appreciated guest at the court of Louis Napoleon. She gave performances in Paris' high society and counted among her friends such important composers as Liszt, Wager, Rossini, Gounod and Auber.9 After the fall of Napoleon III in 1870, the Moultons returned to the United States, where Charles died. In 1875, Lillie married the Danish diplomat, Johann de Hegermann-Lindencrone, whom she followed to Washington and a number of European capitals where he served. Her life in Paris and as a diplomats wife is chronicled in two books of letters she published in 1911 and 1913.10
Lillie's children were raised with the help of nurses. After her return to America, they stayed with her family at Fay House in Cambridge, MA and went to school there.11 Considering the upbringing, it is a bit of a mystery how the Moulton scion Francis ended up working the oyster grounds of the Chesapeake Bay. But the leap is perhaps not as great as it might first appear.
Crisfield Harbor Oyster House, 1901
In the late 1800s, the Chesapeake Bay was experiencing an oyster boom that drew men in search of profit from many places, in particular from New England. The once thriving New England oyster industry had gone into decline because its oyster beds had been depleted. But the Chesapeake seemed to have an inexhaustible supply. In the peak year of 1884, 15 million bushels of oysters were harvested in the Chesapeake, representing nearly half of the world's supply.12 A reporter for Harper's Magazine described the boom as "simply a mad scramble carried on in 700 boats manned by 5,600 daring and unscrupulous men."13 The scramble pitted mostly local watermen, who "tonged" for oysters in the shallow waters of the river deltas, against outsiders, or "oyster pirates," who "dredged" in deeper waters, but gradually encroached on the tongers' territory. This resulted in numerous violent clashes and often death. The efforts of the Maryland Oyster Navy to restore order during the Chesapeake Oyster Wars were largely ineffective.14
All things considered, Francis' illustrious ancestry did not have much practical significance in his adult life. He died in March 1909 at the age of 41 from inflammation of the kidneys and acute bronchitis,15 possibly the result of working in the icy waters of the Chesapeake during the winter oyster season. Catherine was left to raise their children. The year 1920 finds her living in Vienna, Dorchester County, where she was employed as a laborer, while her sons worked as farm hands.16 Her daughters Monemia and Parthia both attended Maryland State Normal School (Towson University).17 After graduating in 1920, the Misses Moulton first lived in Washington, D.C., where Monemia was a clerk in the Commerce Department,18 before moving to Berwyn Heights. The Berwyn Heights house was sold in August 1939, a year after Catherine died, to Arthur and Mabel Shank.19 Catherine and two of her children are buried at Fort Lincoln Cemetery.

I can tell you about my great grandfather Francis Moulton. He wasn't an oysterman. He had a PhD in Greeco-Roman Studies and moved to the Eastern Shore to enjoy the outdoors and sailing his boat. The locals would come to him for medical advice because he was very well educated, worldly and smart. He owned Possum Island (where he was buried) and a number of other homes and places in the area at the time of his death. He died after falling off of his sailboat and catching cold leaving behind his wife Catherine and five young children. He was divorced and met my great grandmother Catherine on a ship during a trip back to the United States. Catherine was immigrating to the US from England with her sister who married a Brennan from New Jersey.
There is a lot more to the family history if you are interested. The records mentioned are flawed.

Hello Mr. Ciaramello, may I ask which branch of Lilly Moulton's family you are descended from?
Mel Saki July 18, 2020 at 11:06 pm | Reply
Jennifer, the records do indeed seem to be flawed. Who were the parents of your great-grandfather, Francis Moulton? As far as I can tell, Charles R. Moulton and his wife Lillie Greenough only had two children: a daughter, who married a Danish count, and a son named Howard Moulton or Charles Howard Moulton. Nowhere in Lillie de Hegermann-Lindencrone's memoirs is a son named Francis mentioned, and she mentioned her children quite a bit.
BH history fan July 23, 2020 at 5:29 pm
The death certificate of Francis Moulton names Lillie Greenough and Chas Moulton as his parents. The certificate is held by the Maryland State Archives.
Yes, I saw that, and I am still puzzled. According to Lillie de Hegermann-Lindencrone's two published books and what I have found on genealogy sites, she had four children, two from her first marriage to Charles Moulton and two from her second marriage to Johan de Hegermann-Lindencrone. With Charles Moulton, she had two children, a daughter who married a Danish count and a son, referred to as Howard in Lillie's published letters and as Charles Howard Moulton on some genealogy sites. Nowhere is a son named Francis mentioned.

The 1880 Census list 4 children: Charles Howard, Suzanne and Francis with last name 'Moulton' and only Frederike as 'Hegermann-Lindencrone'. At the time they lived in the house of Maria Fay and Harriett Greenough in Cambridge, MA. This record has Francis as born in France.
He could have been born in France. The parents traveled back and forth a lot.
I believe Howard also moved back to the U.S., but I have no further information on his adult life.
Really interesting! Will look up the 1880 census. Isn't it curious, though, that in her published books Lillie never mentions Francis once, although she mentions her other children quite a bit, and the genealogy sites don't either? It's almost as if she excised him from her life. Could it be that the family disapproved of his life and marriage (marriages?), and cut him off? The Moultons' rumored wealth turned out to be just that, rumor. When Charles Moulton died, he left Lillie and their children in straightened circumstances. She depended on her aunt and her mother for support until she married Johan de Hegermann-Lindencrone, so where did Francis get the money to buy Possum Island? All I can think of is that when Maria Denny Fay sold the Fay house to Radcliffe College, she must have given some of the money to Lillie, who was a favorite niece.
One more thought: whatever happened, Francis must have continued to have some feelings for his family, since his three younger children are named after his brother, his father, and his mother, respectively.

'Official' records and genealogical sites are often wrong or incomplete. I believe one of Francis's descendent has been working on his family line and adding documentation. Perhaps the other sites will get updated too.
I think you are right. Francis paid his respects by naming 3 children after relatives. But what about the twins Monemia and Parthia? Those are unusual names.
Regarding finances, Francis apparently had money, whether inherited or earned. As Jenny has pointed out earlier, Francis was highly educated and owned other property on the Eastern Shore. I looked them up in the Maryland land records: Castle Haven Neck on the Choptank River, Stephen's Gift on the Blackwater and Barren Island. They were purchased in the name of Luisa Schardt Moulton, his first wife, whom he married in 1889.
When I searched for the name 'Monemia' I came across this Miriam Webster Dictionary definition:
History and Etymology for Monimia
New Latin, from Latin Monima (from Latin, from Greek Monimē), the wife of Mithridates VI †63b.c. king of ancient Pontus after whom a related genus (Mithridatea) had been named + New Latin -ia
The late Kings of Mithridatea were names King of Parthia.
Francis had his PhD in Greco-Roman studies which took many years to earn.
BH history fan July 25, 2020 at 10:36 am
It makes sense that a Greco-Roman scholar would derive names from Greek history/mythology.
Jenny July 23, 2020 at 6:04 pm | Reply
Those are his parents.
I believe his mother had five children. Three with her first husband and two with her second husband. She moved to Europe with all of her children. Francis was the only one to move back to the US.
Francis died as a result of catching pneumonia after accidentally falling off his sailboat. He was out sailing with his dog. They lived on Possum Island which is where he was buried. He liked the outdoors and the slower life of the Eastern Shore.
J July 24, 2020 at 3:48 pm | Reply
No, she stayed in contact and even visited his widow and grandchildren after her son died and vice versa. She was a very conscientious, loving and generous grandmother. Lily grew up at Fay House so it was only natural for her to return to her family after her first husband died. Francis had his own business dealings. His mother was well off and famous. She sold two best selling books. He was the type of person who preferred a quiet life.
Well, then it is even more puzzling that Francis's wife and children were left in want, if he was not estranged from his family when he died. According to the posts here, he was independently wealthy (which did not come from the Moultons, since his father, Charles Moulton, died leaving his family little money). Yet after his death, his family seems to have been in very straightened circumstances if his widow had to work as a "laborer" and his sons as farm hands. Lillie de Hegermann-Lindencrone had married into a Danish aristocratic family that was far from poor, as had his sister and half-siblings, so why was Francis's family left destitute? Puzzling.
BH history fan July 25, 2020 at 9:37 am
The post is partially incorrect, as J. first pointed out. Francis was not an oysterman and his family was probably not left destitute. The information about the family's occupations came from the 1900 and 1910 census but was not confirmed with other sources when initially written. I am happy to write another post to correct and supplement the first using additional information readers may supply.
It's a long story and I don't care to go in to the details. Perhaps I'll write a book!
I'll look forward to a book.

I came across this ancestry.com record (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ot2fhnlBrskn59kYUIk0oZBdsvT9XnYp/view?usp=sharing)
when researching Francis Moulton. It seems to indicate that in 1892, Francis was a broker living in Keyport, NJ and was the father of baby Frances A. Fitzpatrick and spouse? of Catherine A. Fitzpatrick. Frances is not among Catherine's children on the 1910 and 1920 Census and may have died.

This Famous Author's Stunning Houseboat Is for Sale – Take a Peek Inside [GALLERY]
The very first thing I did as an adult when I finally had enough money in my pocket to spend on things other than student loans and rent, was to treat myself to every single Shel Silverstein book.
When the author died of a heart attack at the age of 68 in 1999, my heart was broken. I had an insatiable thirst for reading when I was a kid and would spend many hours under the covers, flashlight in hand, reading works by Shel Silverstein.
Ironically, Silverstein never meant to become a children's author. As a matter of fact, he was known to be something of a philanderer and was not only a cartoonist for the Army's Stars and Stripes magazine, but also for Look, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy. Silverstein was known to frequent the Playboy Mansion and wasn't exactly discrete about his exploits.
In 1963, Silverstein met a book editor who talked him into writing material for kids and the first thing he wrote was The Giving Tree, one of the most well-known children's books of all time.
When he died, Silverstein left behind songs (he wrote A Girl Named Sue which was performed by Johnny Cash), books, poetry, and drawings. He also left behind an incredible houseboat in California.
According to Smithsonian Magazine, the houseboat was first used during World War II before being transformed into a 1,200-square-foot houseboat. Purchased by Silverstein in 1967, this eclectic vessel was given the name "Evil Eye." After Silverstein's death, the houseboat was owned by Silverstein's friend the photographer and artist, Larry Moyer. Moyer owned the home until 2016 when he passed away at the age of 92.
In 2017, the houseboat was put up for sale with an asking price of $390,000. It sold and the new owner completely revamped beauty which is now on the market again with an asking price listed as $783,000. Just two months later, the price has been reduced to $650.00.

Q: Query into firebase realtime database through functions I am using firebase functions and Admin SDK to implement a functions on a event trigger. I am trying to push a notification to user when a new update is available. So, when the update version changes from the current, I want to make some changes in the user object and set update_available key as true
Now, the location of event(update_version) that is being tracked and the data to be changed are in to completely different objects. The Object model is as follows:
|root
  |- app_info
        |- version

  |- users
        |- <uid>
            |- checker
                  |- update_available: true

Not so far I have achieved this :
 function setUpdateValueTrue() {
    db.ref().orderByChild("checker/update_available").equalTo("false").once('value', (snapshot) => {
        snapshot.forEach((childSnapshot) => {
          console.log("got in here");
          console.log(childSnapshot.val())
      });
   })
 }

I guess this maybe completely wrong. At the moment i feel stuck. Any help is really appreciated. My major concern is how to I bypass the uid or query through it.

A: The following should work (not tested however).
Note the use of Promise.all(), since you need to update a variable number of users nodes in parallel.
exports.versionUpdate = functions.database.ref('/app_info').onUpdate((change, context) => {
    const beforeData = change.before.val(); // data before the update
    const afterData = change.after.val(); // data after the update

    if (beforeData.version !== afterData.version) {

       const promises = [];
       const usersRef = admin.database().ref('/users');

       return usersRef.once('value', function(snapshot) {
          snapshot.forEach(childSnapshot => {
             const uid = childSnapshot.key;
             promises.push(usersRef.child(uid + '/checker/update_available').set(true));
          });
          return Promise.all(promises);
       });

   } else {
      return null;
   }

});

US: Brain-dead mother kept alive for two months gives birth to baby boy
By Maria Khan
Angel Perez was a 22-weeks-old foetus inside his mother when she was pronounced brain-dead. Getty Images
A baby boy was born to a brain dead woman who was kept alive on life support for nearly two months in Omaha, United States.
Karla Perez, 22, was declared brain-dead early this year after she collapsed at her home in Waterloo.
He\'s [Angel] a fighter. His hardest work was before he was born really.
- Dr. David Minderman
Perez had complained of a bad headache. Doctor found a brain bleed and determined that she was brain dead.
Angel Perez, who was then just a foetus, was only 22-weeks-old at the time his mother was pronounced brain-dead.
Since he couldn't survive outside the womb, a team of nearly 100 doctors and nurses at the Methodist Women's Hospital in Omaha hospital kept his mother alive using life support.
"He's a fighter," said Dr David Minderman speaking of Angel. "His hardest work was before he was born really."

— CBS News (@CBSNews) June 10, 2015
Angel was delivered in April after Perez's condition worsened and she could no longer be kept alive. He was then kept at the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit, reported AP News. Perez's organs were also donated.
When delivered by caesarean section, Angel was reportedly just about three pounds, but gained four pounds when he was discharged from the hospital on 9 June.
Angel will be staying with his maternal grandparents in Waterloo, Nebraska.
Speaking of her daughter, Perez's mother, Berta Jimenez, told CBS News in Omaha: "Not only did she stay alive for 54 days after what happened to her, to give her baby life, but she also saved the lives of three other people."

Pre-Dissolution
Ellerton Priory were granted the church and rectory of Ellerton by William FitzPeter in the first decade of the thirteenth century, and it remained with the Prior and Convent until the Dissolution. No evidence has yet been found that they leased out the rectory.
From the Valor Ecclesiasticus we know that prior to the Dissolution the Prior and Convent held the following:
Issues of the rectory of Ellerton appropriated to the said Prior and his successors, yearly, 40s.
Issues of lambs and wool each year £4 13s. 4d.
Oblations and petty tithes with the profits of the Lenten Book each year 53s. 4d.
In the suppression documents of Ellerton Priory two surveys were made. In the second survey (11 Dec., 30 Henry VIII.) the site of the Priory was valued at 10s., and records a fishery in the Darwent worth 12d. Total (with farms of tithes of North banke in Aughton, of Ellerton and Estcottingwith), 27l 8d. (Paper Surveys, p. 401.).
On the 9th March, 1539/40 John Herbert of Ellerton was granted the site of Ellerton Priory, Ridding Grange, certain tithes in Aughton, and the rectory of Ellerton and EstCottingwith [L&P 15, Aug. Book 212, f.70b]. Herbert had been the 'keeper' of Ellerton Priory during its dissolution [L&P 13 pt. 2 entry 1172, pages 486-7]. In 1546 he was appointed to be the bailiff and collector of all the former lands of Ellerton Priory [L&P 21 pt. 1, Aug. Book 236, f.158b]. Herbert had his lease renewed on the 17th Feb, 1561/2, for 21 years.
In December 1571, Herbert's lease was terminated, 10 years into his 21 year lease. The reasons for this are not currently known, and a new 21 year lease was then granted to Richard Greames alias Gares. Again, the grant was more descriptive:
(1) the tithes of corn (tenant named) in Estcottingwith belonging to the Rectory of Estcottingwith and Ellerton,
(2) the tithes of corn and hay of the demesne lands of Ellerton Priory and the tithes of wool and lambs and other small tithes and oblations in Ellerton late occupied by the Prior and convent of Ellerton,
(3) lands (named), the profits of the Lent book of Estcottingwith with the oblations and privy tithes there and the tithes of hay of Northbanke, parcel of the Rectory of Aughton, once of Ellerton Priory.
(4) the whole Rectory of Estcottingwith and Ellerton,
(5) lands (tenant named) in Ellerton,
(6) lands (tenant named) next Fosse Milles, parcel of the Manor of Clifton, once of the Monastery of St. Mary by the walls of York,
(1) - (6) from the termination of a lease by patent, 17 Feb., 3 Eliz., to John Herbert of the same, by the name of (a) the tithes of hay of Northbanke in Aughton, the oblations and profits of the Lent book of Aughton, Spaldington, Willowtofte, Seton, Lathom and Le Rydinge Grange, the tithes of hay of a meadow in Estcottingwith in Aughton, the tithes of wool, lambs, hemp, flax and privy tithes of Estcottingwith, and the Rectory of Ellerton and Estcottingwith, (b) lands in Ellerton and (c) lands next Fosse Milles, for 21 years from Michaelmas then last at yearly rents of (a) £9., (b) 14s. and (c) 12s.,
The Greame's and Gare's lease was terminated 10 years into their lease, and a new 50 year lease (for services) was granted to Sir Robert Constable, the queen's servant, dated the 5th August, 1581.
Sir Robert's lease was terminated in 1589, and the rectory of Ellerton and Estcottingwithe was finally sold by the crown, and granted on the 11th February, 1589/60, in fee simple to Henry (Hastings), earl of Huntingdon, for services.
At some point, probably before 1610, the rectory of Ellerton and East Cottingwith came into the hands of Sir Hugh Bethell (died 1610), as we find that in 1614 Hugh's daughter and sole heir, together with her husband, Sir John Wray, conveyed the rectory to Sir Hugh's nephew, Walter Bethell, (see the Feet of Fines section). The will of Sir Hugh has been checked, and although he mentions the rectory of Aughton he does not mention the rectory of Ellerton and East Cottingwith, which was probably conveyed to Grisell on her marriage, to hold as trustees, in tail male, until Walter came of age.
We know from two cases in the eccesiastical courts of York, that in 1562/3 William Kirkby was the farmer of the tithes of Ellerton; and in 1569/70 Hugh Bethell was the farmer of the tithes.
From the Will of Hugh Bethell, who died in 1611
I will that my said loving wife shall have and enjoy all other my lands in Ellerton which I purchased of the late Queen's majesty of famous memory, Queen Elizabeth, during her widowhead, doing no waste.
I do also give to my said loving wife the tythes of corn and hay, wool and lamb, with all other tythes within the parish of Ellerton as well great as small with offerings and oblacions of the town of Aughton during her widowhead she paying to the Kings Majesty the yearlie rent of fower poundes ten shillings yearlie for the free farm of the same.
Commonwealth Survey of 1651
During the Commonwealth Survey held at Beverley on the 25 November 1651, it was reported by the Commissioners that the tythes of Ellerton were the inheritance of Sir Hugh Bethell and were worth six and twenty pounds yearly.
Lambeth Palace Library, COMM XIIa/17, page 366.
Tithe Commutation of 1843
The main records for tithe commutation under the Tithe Act of 1836 are the Tithe File, Apportionment, and Map.
Tithe File
IR 18/12518
The tithes file contains all the correspondence and meeting minutes that the Commissioners generated in discovering to what extent commutation had already taken place. The Ellerton file has been heavily 'weeded' in the early twentieth century.
Tithe Apportionment
IR 29/41/64
The tithe apportionment began with a copy of the Tithe Award, and the confirmation of Tithe Award for Ellerton was dated 13 July 1843.
Briefly, it stated that Charles Howard, an Assistant Tithe Commissioner, had been appointed to ascertain and award the rent-charge in lieu of tithes for the township of Ellerton Priory.
Howard had several meetings with the landowners and titheowner and considered all the 'allegations and proofs' submitted to him, and estimated that the amount of land in Laytham that was subject to the payment of tithes amounted to 100 acres, 3 roods and 33 perches, of which 83 acres and 13 perches consisted of arable land, and the remaining 17 acres, 3 roods and 20 perches comprised meadow or pasture.
The residue of the land in Ellerton, some 2,452 acres, were exempt from tithe payments by the provisions of the Enclosure Act of 42 Geo. III (1802).
Howard had valued the annual rent-charge in lieu of tithes at £74, and found that the representative of the late Sir Christopher Bethell Codrington Baronet was the Improprietor of all the tithes.
There then followed a schedule of all the landowners and occupiers of land, the field names and reference to the tithe map, the state of cultivation, the area, and the amount of rentcharge apportioned to the land.

Why do I/A systems need to be inspected?
If you think about a conventional septic system as being a bicycle, then you should think about an I/A system as being a motorcycle. A bicycle needs very little maintenance - you replace a tire or a chain now and then, but a bike will go for a long time without even thinking much about maintaining it. A motorcycle, on the other hand, requires regular upkeep to keep it in woking order - the oil has to be changed, fuel and oil filters have to be replaced, and you have to keep gas in it for it to even work at all!
So while a septic tank needs pumping every few years and can last for 20 or more years without much thought, an I/A system, with it's pumps and relays and filters, has to be inspected and maintained regularly to function properly.
What does an I/A inspection typically entail?
Each I/A technology is engineered and built differently, so each comes with it's own inspection "checklist" which has been created by the manufacturer. Your I/A operator will arrive on the site and follow the checklist item-by-item.
System access covers are ugly, so you may be tempted to hide them in your yard. If you bury or conceal any system components, you must make sure they can be easily found and and are accessible by your system operator. He/She may have to remove mulch or other items to conduct your inspection.
It is very important that you give your operator full access to your system. This may include access to an electrical panel which is inside the home. They should also be able to easily locate and access any and all system covers (manhole covers). A hose may also be necessary to clean any filters or other components that may have become fouled. Coordinating with your operator to make sure the whole system is inspected properly is key to ensuring that your system is operating properly.
If your system also has a sampling requirement, your operator will typically take any samples before concluding the inspection. Samples are usually obtained at the system's distribution box. If a water meter reading is required, the operator will also need access to your water meter.
When the operator is done with the inspection, he/she will close the system covers and secure any electrical panels. Many will leave a door tag alerting you to their visit if you are not home.
After returning to the office, you operator will submit the results of the system inspection to this database.
Why am I required to have my system inspected?
Because I/A systems have to be regularly maintained to keep them working properly, both state regulations and your local board of health require that your system be inspected periodically. At the very least, an inspection must be done at least once per year, however MassDEP or your local board of health can require that inspections occur more frequently.
Why not allow people to voluntarily comply? Isn't there an incentive to keep their investment running?
Septic systems by their very nature - receiving and processing human waste products, including feces, urine, skin cells, harmful pathogens, chemicals and other toxic substances - are a public health risk. Because of this, a failed septic system failes to protect public health and safety as well as the environment.
How can I get my inspection requirements reduced?
Obtaining a requirements reduction is a relatively straightforward process. Most homeowners will work with their system operator, who will petition the board of health for a requirements reduction. The board will then hold a hearing, during which it's memebers will vote on the legitimacy of the reduction petition. If the board members are satisfied with the performance of the system, they can vote to reduce the requirements.

A Landmark Concert 75 Years Ago
Marian Anderson gave her famous outdoor performance at the Lincoln Memorial known today as the "Freedom Concert" for all it symbolized.
by Brian Gilmore
It was 75 years ago that Marian Anderson gave her famous outdoor performance at the Lincoln Memorial. The concert, known today as the "Freedom Concert," occurred on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939.
It was a moment of great symbolic importance for racial progress in the United States.
Marian Anderson, born in Philadelphia in 1897, was a child prodigy as a vocalist. She trained at an early age with the legendary Italian voice teacher Giuseppe Boghetti. Anderson so impressed Boghetti that he allowed her to sing in the New York Philharmonic when she was still a teenager. He also took Anderson to Europe to sing, where her reputation only grew larger.
By 1936, Anderson was so well known that President Franklin Roosevelt and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt invited her to sing at the White House. Anderson was the first African-American to receive such an invitation.
It was Eleanor Roosevelt who played a major role for Anderson three years later in the Freedom Concert.
It all began when Anderson's manager, Sol Hurok, and Howard University sought to arrange a concert for her at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. However, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the organization that owned the venue, refused to permit it to happen. The hall did not allow black artists to perform and also had segregated seating arrangements.
Constitution Hall was Jim Crow Hall.
Eleanor Roosevelt, an ambivalent member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, denounced the organization and resigned publicly. She then worked to help arrange Anderson's concert at the Lincoln Memorial. She wanted the event to draw attention to racism as a national issue.
The concert became a major statement against racial prejudice. Some 300 prominent individuals signed up as sponsors for the event. Actress Katherine Hepburn, unable to attend, famously sent a telegram announcing her support and sponsorship. Justices from the U.S. Supreme Court attended the performance, as did members of Congress.
Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes granted permission for the concert. He also introduced Anderson, saying: "In this great auditorium under the sky, all of us are free. When God gave us this wonderful outdoors and the sun, the moon and the stars, He made no distinction of race, or creed, or color."
The concert drew an unprecedented 75,000 people, half of which were African-American. The crowd was so large it almost encircled the reflecting pool. With Eleanor Roosevelt's intervention, NBC radio decided to broadcast the performance so millions more could hear it.
Anderson began the concert with a stirring rendition of "America." She sang "Ave Maria," among other numbers. And she closed with "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen."
In the aftermath of the concert, the symbolic importance could not be ignored. The Washington Post wrote that "a colored girl from the slums of Philadelphia" made everyone feel a "little nobler" that day.
Marian Anderson is not well known by many Americans today.
But her moment of courage and dignity 75 years ago helped light a path to a better America.

Unlike some truck drivers, I actually like backing up. The smaller the space and the more difficult the situation, the better. I just like the challenge. However, that wasn't always the case. When I first started driving a truck, the first place I was sent served to create a lot of frustration and left me wondering why I ever decided to become a truck driver.
I'd arrived at my delivery destination just after sunup on a bright summer day. The dock I was supposed to back into was an inside recessed dock with no lights. Lights may seem unnecessary since it was daylight but, for those of you who may not know, the bright sun outside makes for a very dark hole inside. The end of the trailer disappears once it goes through the door. In effect, I was backing into a building blindly. To make matters worse, there was no room to get the truck and trailer lined up straight with the dock before backing up. And with the many smaller buildings, machinery, and piles of supplies all strategically placed in the way, I had to negotiate a virtual maze – with little room to spare. Somehow, they expected me to get the trailer backed into the dock and have it end up straight. But, as the guard pointed out, I was a "professional" driver.
I'm sure the dockworkers, and everyone else who gathered to watch, were not at all impressed by my lack of proficiency at my job, but they didn't say anything. They all waited patiently until I'd finally gotten the trailer into position so they could unload it. Both their silence and patience were remarkable considering it took over an hour before I was done.
Of course, with practice, backing up became much easier and before long I looked forward to what the next challenge would be. After 10 hours or so of highway driving, backing into tight places was a welcomed change of pace.
With the driving job I have now, I don't do much backing, usually only once a day. The nice thing is I don't have to put the trailer into a particular spot, I can choose from any number of open slots. Some drivers might instinctively pick the easiest ones but I like to look for the most difficult. It provides something to test me and keeps me in practice.
Over the years, I have kept a mental list of some of my favorite backs. Generally, to make the list there needs to be not enough room and multiple turns involved. A real life labyrinth – in reverse. Yes, I do like backing up.
More than a year after that first backing fiasco, I was again sent to the same warehouse where I'd made my first delivery. For a long time, I'd wanted to return and was glad to finally have the chance to see if it was really all that difficult or not. To see if the months of practice of backing through small alleys and into docks made for much smaller trucks had paid off.
While they all waited, I got the truck into position and backed into the building, relying on feel when the back of the trailer disappeared. This time, in less than three minutes, I was ready to be unloaded. Apparently, at some point during the year, my truck had drastically shrunk. No one applauded or anything, but judging from their faces, I'd say they all were happy I'd learned to like backing up.
I've always had a proclivity for getting into trouble – even when I technically did nothing wrong. As a result, I made more than my fair share of trips to the Principal's Office in my school days. The first time was in Kindergarten. Yep, I started early.
It was the first fire drill of the year. The fire alarm sounded and the teacher, Mrs. Dietrich, lined us up at the door. I was next to last with my friend Doug behind me. After we all were ready, the teacher opened the door and told us to follow the person in front of us. Then we filed out the door into the hall. Things went well until we reached the main hallway. With two classes each of Kindergarten through third grade, a lot of kids filled up the place, all of them bigger than me - and taller. Pushing and shoving the students mingled together and not being able to see over anyone, I got lost among the crowd. My friend and I were left standing still in a hall full of people, all seemingly going different directions.
Knowing there was no way to find my class, I said to Doug that if the building was on fire the most important thing was to get out, not find our classmates. He agreed. So, we fell in line with the nearest class and followed them out the door. Several minutes later (longer than usual I discovered), the bell rang to let us know we could return to our classrooms. Feeling proud of ourselves for solving our problem and finding our way safely out of the building, my friend and I returned to our class. The instant we walked in, we knew we were in trouble. The look on the Mrs. Dietrich's face told us she was upset before she even spoke. When she did speak, it was to tell us to report to the Principal's Office immediately. We did, but all the way, I was wondering what exactly the problem was. We had gotten out of the building. And, we had returned safe and sound to class.
Arriving at the Principal's Office, he enlightened me. We suffered through a short lecture about how the school was responsible for our well-being and how when we weren't present for roll call with our class it was cause for alarm – and not just a fire alarm. Mrs. Dietrich had reported us as missing and that was the reason for the extended stay outside. He said if this had been an actual fire, we could have endangered the lives of the firemen who would have had to come look for us. I think the idea was to either make us feel bad or scared - perhaps both.
Always willing to argue the finer points of logic, even at age five, I finally spoke up. I explained that we'd become lost and couldn't see over the bigger kids. And that since we couldn't find our classmates we'd followed the other class outside. I also pointed out that this wasn't an actual fire so, even if we hadn't gotten out of the school we would have been safe. The Principal wasn't impressed. I then played my trump card. If my teacher had reported us as missing because we weren't present for roll call, why hadn't they immediately figured out where we were when the other teacher reported two extra kids with her class? I still remember the look on the Principal's face as he told us to return to class.
I heard later that the other teacher had gotten in a little hot water for not discovering us with her group. It hadn't been my intention to get her in trouble – just to get me out of trouble. Still, I was a bit amused by it all. Over the years, I was sent to the Principal's Office many more times, some deserved some undeserved. Thanks to the practice I'd had in Kindergarten, I argued every single time – usually successfully. The last time I made my grand entrance was my final year of High School. I had taken the liberty of retrieving some personal property from the trash. Personal property that the teacher had thrown away. It wasn't even mine but I didn't think the teacher should have taken the perfume from the girl so I marched right into the teacher's lounge and took it back.
How was I able to get inside the teacher's lounge? It was easy; I waited until everyone else was outside - for a fire drill.
When I was in the third grade, my teacher told us that nothing new could be invented because all the frontiers of science had already been explored and exhausted. She said all we could do was to make variations of things, which already existed, like a different flavor of pop or potato chips, or a new style of car. As far as actual new products however, my generation would have none.
Clearly, she was delusional. Aside from the obvious electronic products such as computers, cell phones, I-pad or Kindle, GPS, pagers, and a slew of other gizmos, there is a long list of items that we didn't have. There was no such thing as software, MP3's, CD's, or DVD's. We didn't even have VCR tapes or cassettes, although 8-tracks were popular at the time.
I've come up with several more examples as well. I realize some of them are simply variations, but some can only be categorized as new inventions. I remember when Hidden Valley Ranch dressing came out, as well as Diet Coke, Doritos, Pop Tarts, Hot Pockets, Gatorade and PowerAde (We did have Tang), Lunchables, energy drinks and more. And I distinctly recall the day my dad brought home a new candy that almost exploded in the mouth – Pop Rocks.
Back then no one had ever heard of Instant Messaging, texting, e-mail, or video conferencing. If you wanted to communicate, there was the Post Office and a very expensive telephone service. I remember when call forwarding, call waiting and caller ID were fascinatingly new concepts.
There was no direct deposit, no ATM's, and no debit cards. Stores had no scanners either - they would have been rather pointless. Since barcodes didn't exist, there was nothing to scan.
We had no microwave popcorn, no microwave oatmeal, soups, or dinners. But then, we really would've had no use for any of these – we had no microwave. And there's more. We had no digital clocks or watches, no hand-held calculators, video games, remote control toys, and no digital cameras – we didn't even have Polaroid cameras. We did have typewriters, but no word processors. (That may have been a good thing – their usefulness was short-lived with the proliferation of personal computers).
The list goes on. Cars didn't have front-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, automatic headlights, automatic locks, airbags, or my favorite – no seatbelts!
DNA was only theoretical science, lasers only existed in physicist's labs (or in the movies), and a computer with less processing power than I have on my I-phone filled a large room.
I know I've omitted a lot of stuff but I think I've made my point, which is that a lot of things have come along in my life. New inventions. Life certainly has changed. Yet, some things never change. Not long ago, I heard a guy on the radio, satellite radio; say that nothing new could be invented. That all we can do now is make variations of what is already in existence. Really? Must've had the same third grade teacher I had.
I think every kid dreams of finding buried treasure. The prospect bears a certain charm of mystery and adventure, not to mention becoming rich. For most kids the chances of actually finding buried treasure are somewhere between zero and none. Unless... Unless you bury the treasure yourself and return later to "find" it.
I must have been eight or nine years old when I decided to do just that. I got a shoebox out of my Mom's closet and set out to find a few treasures to bury in the box. I threw in some coins, a few dollar bills, and a couple of Army men, along with a wooden whistle I'd carved. There were more supposed valuables, most likely junk, but that's the items I remember.
I took the time to place everything in plastic bags – Ziploc bags. Everything, that is, except the shoebox. For some reason, it didn't occur to me that the box might deteriorate. I was only concerned with what was in the box – my treasure. I didn't want the dirt and water to ruin anything.
Carrying my Dad's shovel with the box, I walked about a quarter mile up the creek and found a good spot. The place I chose was an equal distance between two large thorn trees and lined up with a huge oak tree across the field. I dug a two-foot deep hole in the soft dirt, set the box inside and covered it over. I figured I'd come back and dig it up in twenty years or so.
I didn't make it twenty years, more like five. We'd moved from that house but one day I made a trip back to check on my treasure. I walked up the creek to the spot where I'd buried the shoebox – or where I thought it should be. The two thorn trees were hard to find with all the new growth, including many new trees. Most of the trees looked about the same size. To make matters worse, the oak tree across the field was gone. I didn't give up easily though. I dug several holes in a ten-foot area where I figured my treasure would be, but didn't find anything. Widening my search, I dug some more. Still nothing. No shoebox. No plastic bags. No treasure. Apparently, the chances of finding buried treasure are not increased by burying it yourself, after all.
I never did find it. Perhaps some other adventurous kid discovered it. Or maybe I just didn't dig in the right spot. A more likely scenario is that the flooding creek washed it away. Yet, the possibility does exist that my treasure is still there – minus the cardboard box, of course - waiting to be found. Granted, it's not worth much, but maybe it'll make some kid's day when they unearth what's left of the plastic bagged fortune, because every kid dreams of finding buried treasure. I'd even be willing to point them in the right direction – if only I knew myself.


"Dodger" guest stars James Callis of Battlestar Galactica fame as a villain called the Dodger, and it also is noteworthy as it features the first appearance of Colton Haynes on the show as Roy Harper. Yes, Colton Haynes from Teen Wolf. Tumblr is exploding already. Sadly, Colton is nowhere to be seen in this trailer… what gives? We thought that maybe he'd show up in the extended one, but apparently he's not there either. Sorry, folks.
So, if you want some Colton Haynes goodness, here are some promotional photos, and if you'd like to come talk about this week's show, "The Odyssey," come by our Arrow forum!

Note, this is a review of what I got to play of the "Break-it in Early Test Application" and not my final thoughts of the game.
Personally, I didn't get to play too much of the beta. My internet was shutdown when it launched and when I got it back… I had to work during the weekend beta hours. As I love my job at the haunted house and get paid for being there… you know which was more important. And on the third day before the final beta, I ended up talking to an old friend while playing Soulcalibur VI the whole day. Worth it because we rarely get a chance to speak to each other and the new timeline means we had to reboot our fan fictions. But what I did get to play… I enjoyed.
When I first got out of Vault 76, the scenery was beautiful. Yeah, there were both rusty and burned out vehicles, corpses, skeletons, and little killer robots… but remove all that and it's still "pretty-ful" as we said in Boone County. Of course the character creation when I started was difficult, I had my sister who is talented in that aspect of video games do my personal Fallout 4 character. And yes, he looks a lot like me. But the 76 one… it's close enough to play the game and feel like it's my experience. And of course, the first weapon you pick up is a pipe pistol, not a 10mm like in Fallout 4. Hey, everyone knows that in 3 you get the BB Gun first and in New Vegas it was a 9mm from that doctor. Anyway, the combat is a little different than in previous games. V.A.T.S is WAY different in real time. You can't use it to aim at individual body parts either, instead it's all basically a body shot unless you somehow get the perk cards to do it differently. I ended up mainly with a Melee character.
I forgot to even mention the new S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system. Instead of the classic Fallout style, you cannot set your stats when you start the game. Instead you have to put points into it as you level up. And when you reach level 5 I think, you finally start getting the new Perk Cards in packs with a stick of gum. Before that, you only get one card with each level. It's these cards that you use to decide your perks. Personally, I don't like this new system. You raise your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats with each level, but it stays like the older games. However, you can change your perk cards for each stat anytime you want. I know Bethesda is trying new things, but this is stupid. So far, it's my only real complaint about Fallout 76.
Now, the lack of human NPCs. That I actually don't mind. Most of the lore in this game you find through Holotapes and terminals. I actually like that because I like to find these things for myself. As this game is new, I can do it for myself when I start playing the actual game. Though I did watch some of Oxhorn's videos, I already know that for my personal character I'm going to that Civil War reenactment and grabbing a Confederate Soldier uniform. I'm not racist, it's heritage and not hate. Besides, I want to know how many people would call me a racist just for wearing it. And the fort in the reenactment is a goldmine for finding wood, which you need for everything in this game. So yeah, Desk Fans are no longer "goldmines" for scrap as you need wood more than metal now.
Now let's get to the Survival System. I… personally don't care for it. I always played on Normal, not Hard or Survival in previous games. But you have to eat and drink like in survival mode. However, you can no longer just sleep in a bed in order to heal fast. Now you just lay there and slowly recover HP. I accidentally laid down on a Sleeping Bag when trying to loot a corpse once, and ended up with a disease. It happened as soon as I laid down too. I'll get to how I got rid of it later. Anywho, I forgot how many times I got dehydrated. In the new system, you can't just go to a cooking station and turn Dirty Water into Purified Water. You have to boil it to turn it into Boiled Water and if you have a filter you can turn that Boiled Water into Purified Water. Boiling it removes diseases and purifying it removes radiation. But in order to boil it (or cook in general), you actually have to have wood.
Wood is the most important scrap from what I learned because you need it to make your C.A.M.P. and to cook. It's sad that I get excited to find pencils and clipboards now. But for some weapons, cooking food, and building in general, you need wood. I wish they would've done something like make it so if you had a hatchet or an axe equipped that you could get it from a tree or something. I never thought I'd live to see a game in where you need wood even more than you do in Minecraft, but Fallout 76 proved me wrong.
When I said you need wood for weapons, that's a double meaning. You can actually make your own weapons now, I made myself a machete. However… the weapon durability from Fallout 3 and New Vegas is back. Meaning that you have to repair them or they're unusable until repaired. I had that happen once with a rifle, and it wasn't fun. And you can't just remove a mod from one weapon and just add it to another anymore. Now you have to scrap them in order to get mods. It's bad enough that bottle caps are even harder to come by now, but you have to be careful what you want to sell and want to scrap. And yes, I learned this with the first Machete I had. I wanted to put the serrated edge mod onto a higher level machete, but it didn't work. It was easier to just make a new serrated edge mod for the higher level machete.
And yes, armor has durability as well. But unlike Fallout 4, it can be hidden with outfits. You find outfits throughout the game you can wear over your vault suit and your armor. It's mainly cosmetic and they don't have a durability amount like the armor does. I'd say more about Power Armor, but I didn't get a set before the beta ended. But it ended near where I know where a set is. So hopefully I'll get an armor frame when I start playing.
Now for my experiences with other players. To be honest, I didn't have many of them. There was this one kid who begged me for some of my water. I managed to get him to trade his .45 ammo for my 4 boiled waters. It was actually a kindness as he didn't use guns with that ammo anyway. He kept wanting to find someone to PVP, but I got out of it because I traded him water and gave him a Sickle because he had no melee weapons. Not to mention I cleared out a former Raider Outpost in Sutton before he got there, and he saw the damage I had done. I don't know what happened to him, he left because he found another player nearby. My second encounter was when I wandered into someone else's C.A.M.P. the guy was just laying down, so I used his Weapons Workbench to scrap my junk so I could lighten my load. He seemed cool with it. The third was when I was trying to set up my C.A.M.P. near this mining supplies place. I was getting attacked by Scorched (those new enemies that use weapons) and some friendlies helped me kill them. But that was all the experience I had with other players.
Overall, I enjoyed the beta. There were mechanics that I didn't like, but there's always that when it comes to all games. I mainly liked the mostly intact landscape. Though when comparing it to post-apocalypse movies, I'd say it was more like The Postman with Kevin Costner than Road Warrior with Mel Gibson. If you haven't watched The Postman, I'd recommend doing so. It's not that good, but it would make you understand my comparison easier. And yes, I plan on live streaming the actual game eventually. But I'd like to get some more time in it first.
I actually read The Postman — that is, the David Brin novel the movie was based on. I remember enjoying it, but I don't know how it compares to the film.
I should've read the book… oh well.
Next Post I'm coming home!!!


The Power Line Trail in Horsham Township connects schools, parks, business centers and neighborhoods along an easement managed by PECO/Exelon. Parts of the trail have road crossings, so use caution. The trail will eventually extend west through Montgomery and Upper Gwynedd townships and east to the Pennypack Trail and Cross County Trail in Upper Moreland Township.
Parking and restrooms are available at the south end of the trail in Lukens Park (540 Dresher Road). Towards the northern end of the trail, parking can be found at Jarrett Road Park (726 Jarrett Road).
This is a great short trail. The rolling hills were not too steep or too long and were fun to go down. The trail is in excellent condition. There are controls for flashing lights at the road crossings but most of the roads were not busy at all. Okay scenery for being under a power line. Not much shade as most of the trail in near the center of the power line cut.
I LOVE that you can ride horses here!
This is a great find. Wide smooth trail that was a breeze to walk.
This trail is great for long distance push. The pavement is pretty smooth for the whole trip, not a lot of shade though. There are some moderate hills which I would either foot break slide or just walk down. Dog walkers frequent this trail; though, so be prepared to step off and jog around them. Over all its a great trail to start off or train for bigger distances for long distance push or long distance pump. Definitely don't want to miss this trail.
Modest elevation changes. Very open, so you will get sun. Smooth paved surface in very good condition (2014). Love to see this connect up to 202.
Because a huge power line follows the trail (or vice versa), there is little shade. That being said, there is plenty of nature to be enjoyed along the power line's right of way. The path is well-paved and dotted with parks, tidy neighborhoods, vegetable gardens, and even a tree farm. The trail would benefit from some sort of distance markers (other than those of the most recent 5K) since it's basically an out-and-back path.
Had a great bike ride. There was lots of activity. Connects to the Horsham Library, a dog park, and Kohler soccer fields. Really nice ride. I will definitely do this trail again.
I am always looking for a new trail to run. This one is awesome. I started at Dreshertown Road and went to Cedar Hill and back! Beautiful, no trash, well kept and hardly any people! A greeat way to see beautiful Horsham Township. Kudos to all who creted and are maintaining this trail!
The trail is now like 6 to 7 miles long with the connection of the trail from Babylon Road to Kohler Park (route 152 entrance). The eventual plans are to connect it to the 202 Parkway Trail in the Montgomeryville area.
Enjoyable path for walking, jogging, and relaxed pace biking.
I scoped out this trail for the first time today, walking from the lot at Dresher Road up to Norristown and back down again. Looking forward to when all of the leaves change....it should be lovely! Well kept, not much trash at all. Definitely worthy of 5 stars.
Wide newer paved path through wooded areas that goes through a dog park, soccer fields, passed a golf course, and softball fields.

How have you been? NO tiemto write, NO time to speak, And Time is just flaying away… as usual. There is so much happening around and when I am just about to type my head is just seems to be empty. Listening new album by Beyonce, actually I have never been into her music properly, you know that, but somehow she fits right now. Anyway, sending news about my new project which is my Very First cd jacket Ever – for young Chinese singer called 曾軼可 and her new album FOREVER21. It is not a typical cd packaging – it has a form of book with spongy-like made cover with my illustrated paper stap around it. I did also three other illustration inside the book. It is a photo collage with the pohotograph of the singer which her recording company provided. Sweet Collaboration and a Big Challange for me. Really enjoyed it!!!
PS Big thanks to my agent Jil from Jil Wu Artiste Asia.


RTÉ have released their annual report on the salaries of the highest paid employees. As usual, the earnings are published two years in arrears, so the salaries below are for 2016.
While they are still sky-high, they mark a 32% reduction since 2008. RTÉ Director-General, Dee Forbes, said: "The audited figures released today for 2016 sees RTÉ maintain our commitment to reduce these earnings by 30% as compared to 2008 levels, while continuing to value the significant contribution our presenters make, and to RTÉ's ability to optimise commercial revenue to support Ireland's public media.
"This will continue to be an area of focus for me. Within a challenging marketplace and in the absence of meaningful funding reform, we are making significant efforts to reduce costs across the organisation, in addition to the considerable reduction in operating costs implemented since 2008."
It's no surprise that once again 'Late Late Show' host Ryan Tubridy is the highest paid presenter, earning €495,000, the same amount he was paid in 2015.
In at number 2 is Ray D'Arcy with earnings of €450,000, while Joe Duffy follows in third place earning €389,988.
The list features four female presenters - Marian Finucane, Miriam O'Callaghan, Claire Byrne and Mary Wilson, although the top 4 are all male presenters.
