Inventory of the Jones Family Papers
Jones Family Papers
1811-ca.1960
Business records and personal papers of a New Bedford, Massachusetts, family, 1811-ca.1960.
Edward Coffin Jones was born on Nantucket, Massachusetts in 1805. As a young boy he moved to New Bedford, Mass., and in 1824 became a clerk for Capt. Elisha Dunbar (1785-1839). By 1827, Jones had become a partner in the ship chandlery and whaling industry, remaining in business after Dunbar's death in 1839. Jones was part owner and agent for numerous whaling vessels including the ships Congress, Emma C. Jones, Governor Troup, andMilo, along with the bark Elisha Dunbar, etc. Thomas Bennett Jr. (1820-1898) became clerk for Jones prior to becoming a successful businessman with the Wamsutta Mills.
Jones first married Louisa Gibbs in 1835, but died shortly thereafter in 1839. He then married Emma Chamber Nye (1823-1852) in 1844 and fathered four children. Emma was born and raised on the island of St. Michael in the Azores and moved to the United States upon her mother's marriage to Thomas Nye Jr. (1804-1882). She resided in Fairhaven with her parents and attended school in Boston. Three of the children from Emma's marriage survived to maturity. Emma Chambers Jones (1847-1920) was physically frail and spent most of her life under doctor's care in Litchfield, Connecticut, and New York City, N.Y. Amelia Hickling Jones (1849-1935) remained in New Bedford and was involved in civic concerns. She eventually sponsored a camp and hospital for tubercular children at Sol-E-Mar, her property in South Dartmouth, Mass. Sarah Coffin Jones (1852-1891) married John Malcolm Forbes (1847-1904) of Milton, Mass., and the two had seven children: Margaret (1876-1899), J. Malcolm Jr. (1877-1878), Gerrit (1880-1964), Henry Stone (1882-1968), Stephen Hathaway (d. 1885), Ellen (1886-1954), and Amelia (1888-1979). Edward Coffin Jones married a third time in 1872, to Mary Coffin Luce (1840-1917) before he died in 1880.
Dominating this collection are personal papers and business records of Edward Coffin Jones from the years 1824-1880. His papers consist of correspondence, financial records, ship's papers, plans, plats, and miscellaneous papers. His correspondence, spanning the years 1824 to 1870, is primarily business related and discusses prices and availability of oil, sales of vessels, reports from various whaling vessels, reports of activities of his vessels, banking activities in New Bedford, and activities during the Civil War of a New Bedford military company. Correspondents include Elisha Dunbar, Thomas Bennett Jr., captains of whaling vessels, and C. F. Winslow, a United States consul at Paita.
This collection also contains personal correspondence from Jones' aunt, Susan Gelston (1781-1866), regarding family and household matters. Aunt Susan ran Jones' household during the two periods when he was a widower.
The financial records, 1825-1871, contain accounts, bills, receipts, and lists of stock certificates. The accounts include real estate transactions, general merchandise, and household accounts especially for domestic help and their wages.
Ship's papers date from 1831 to 1866 and include outfitting books, a bill of sale, correspondence, and a bond for caring for a foreigner for the ships Congress, Europa, Governor Troup, and Iris. There are also plans for the Jones house on County Street, New Bedford, 1851 and 1856, and a plat for land at Sol-E-Mar in South Dartmouth, ca.1845.
The miscellaneous papers, ca.1842-1880, include accounts for furnishing house, addresses of friends and relatives, a pew plan, dog licenses, lists of ships owned, list of bequests, and estate records.
The remainder of the collection is dominated by diaries and correspondence of women members of the Jones family written between 1843 and 1935. Papers for Jones' second wife, Emma Chambers Nye Jones, consist of personal correspondence and an account book concerning domestic help and their wages, 1843-1854.
Diaries of Emma Chambers Jones span the years 1876 to 1909, contain information about her health, living arrangements and companions at Litchfield, Conn., and at New York City, N.Y., where she lived in an apartment house; friendship with New Bedford, Mass., artist, Robert Swain Gifford (1840-1905) and his family; social and cultural activities in New York City; and her travels to a summer residence in Dublin, N.H. and to Europe. Her correspondence consists of letters from family members, ca. 1857-1858. Also included in her papers are charades, 1856-1875, which she and her sister, Amelia, performed for friends and a presentation volume of verses, 1871.
Diaries for Amelia Hickling Jones date from 1872 to 1935 and describe family activities; visits to Milton and Naushon, Mass., and to her summer residence in Dublin, N.H.; and meetings at and visits to Sol-E-Mar in South Dartmouth. Her correspondence, 1859-1928, consists of letters from a cousin and a friend. Also included in her papers are a memoir of Edward Coffin Jones, her father, written by Amelia in 1899; a play entitled Hope & Horror, ca.1870; and a memoranda volume of household inventories and expenses, 1911-1929.
Papers for Sarah Coffin Jones Forbes consist of correspondence, 1872-1891, mainly addressed to her sister-in-law, Alice Hathaway Forbes Cary (1838-1917). These letters describe family events at New Bedford and Milton; travel by railroad to Florida and the West; regattas and summer events at Naushon, Mass.; and travel to England, Scotland, and France.
Also represented by materials in this collection are various Jones family relatives by marriage. Papers for Reuben Jones (1776-1818), Edward's father, consist of correspondence, a deed and an estate record, 1811-1823. The correspondence is dated 1812 and consists of a letter to his brother, Daniel, regarding the death of their father.
Papers for Amelia Clementina Hickling Chambers Nye (1796-1872), mother of Emma Chambers Nye Jones, consist of personal correspondence and legal documents, 1822-ca.1885. Her correspondence, 1822-1848, includes letters to her stepdaughter, Virginia Chambers, and her husband, Thomas Nye Jr., written while she was in St. Michael, Azores. Also included are letters to her brother Thomas Hickling Jr. in the Azores and her daughter Emma at school in Cambridge, Mass. Papers for her husband, Thomas Nye Jr., (1804-1882), are personal correspondence from the years 1830 and 1831 written to his wife and family from foreign ports.
Papers for Mary Ann Hickling Ivens (1800-1888), sister to Amelia, consist of a memoranda volume concerning birthdays, deaths, anniversaries, and events of 1870 that were compiled between 1867 and 1870, as well as correspondence written in 1827 to her sister-in-law, Miss Nye.
Papers for Eliza Williams Nye Hathaway Dana (1830-1923), daughter of Thomas and Amelia Nye Jr., contain a journal regarding her trip to the Azores, 1847, correspondence, 1906, and a marriage certificate, 1854. Papers for her daughter, Grace Dana (1866-1956), consist of correspondence from the years 1906, 1935, and 1938. The Amelia Forbes Emerson (1888-1979), papers consist of correspondence, 1935, regarding the death of Amelia Hickling Jones.
This collection concludes with transcripts of original family documents, 1744-1937, compiled between ca.1950-1960 and genealogical material compiled in ca. 1897, ca. 1920-1960. Several of the former items relate to Thomas Hickling (1745-1834) and concern his business transactions at the Azores, 1774-1820, along with his trip to England and France in 1796. His son, Thomas Hickling Jr. (1782-1875), is represented by a letter, 1848, describing his business ventures. There is also a transcript of a travel journal by Caroline Pomeroy (b. 1794), relating to her trip to St. Michael, Azores in 1824.
The genealogical materials concern members of the interrelated Coffin, Cook, Forbes, Hathaway, Hickling, Jones, Nye, Starbuck, and Swain families who lived between 1577-1927, chiefly at Nantucket and New Bedford.
The miscellaneous papers include a will for Thaddeus Swain, 1835; a poem, ca. 1835; a copy of the "records of Friends Academy" between 1817 and 1820 copied in ca. 1870 and newspaper clippings, 1867-1950 relating to whaling.
A published work which may serve as a guide to the persons represented in this collection is Letter of Sarah Jones Forbes edited by Henry S. and Hildegarde B. Forbes (1960).

Could you define Micro learning?
Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. The term is used in e-learning and related fields in the sense of learning processes in mediated environments. Microlearning is a holistic approach for skill based learning and education which deals with relatively small learning units. It involves short-term-focused strategies especially designed for skill based understanding/learning/education.
The Wikipedia page however contains much that seems inaccurate or naive to me.
Microlearning, in a nutshell, is a digital learning experience designed to be effective, engaging and enjoyable.
Really? This doesn't mention the key concept of being 'small'.
Surely every learning experience is (should be) designed to be "effective, engaging and enjoyable" ?
Microlearning provides bite-sized learning content in stark contrast to the traditional model of learning and thus engagement follows.
Do you see the logical fallacy here? (Let's ignore the obvious missing commas).
Sorry, I think engagement follows, or should follow, in any learning experience. To suggest that bite-sized learning content magically ("thus") leads to engagement is nonsense.

Commitment to freedom from discrimination
NSHE and the University of Nevada, Reno, are committed to providing a place of work and learning free of discrimination on the basis of a person's age (40 or older), disability, whether actual or perceived by others (including service-connected disabilities), gender (including pregnancy related conditions), military status or military obligations, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, national origin, race, color, or religion (protected classes).
The University of Nevada, Reno, does not discriminate on the basis of protected classes in any education program or activity that it operates. Non-discrimination on the basis of protected classes is mandated by Federal law. The University's commitment to nondiscrimination in its education programs and activities extends to applicants for admission and employment.
Inquiries concerning the application of these provisions may be referred to (or to both):

10 types of discrimination
Recognizing inappropriate behavior so that we can eliminate it.
The University of Nevada, Reno values every member of our Wolf Pack community. We want every member of The Pack to be treated with dignity and respect.
Therefore, University policies prohibit discrimination based on a person's age, disability, gender, military status or military obligations, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, national origin, race, color, or religion.
1. Age discrimination
Policies prohibit unfairly considering a person's age when making employment or educational decisions or harassing or mistreating a student, employee, or applicant because of their age.
2. Disability
Policies require the reasonable accommodation of individuals with disabilities unless such accommodations would impose an undue burden on the institution, or would fundamentally alter the program in question. Individuals cannot be treated unfairly because of an actual or perceived physical or mental disability.
3. Gender/sexual orientation
An individual cannot be treated differently or less favorably because of their gender. Sexual orientation discrimination includes being treated differently or harassed because of your real or perceived sexual orientation—whether gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual or other.
4. Gender identity/gender expression
Policies prohibit discrimination based on gender identity—an individual's self-identified gender, versus anatomical sex at birth. Gender expression discrimination (relating to a person's behavior, mannerisms, interests, or appearance as linked to gender) is also prohibited.
5. Genetic information
Genetic information cannot be used to make employment or academic decisions. Genetic information includes information about an individual's genetic tests as well as family medical history. However, in certain circumstances, it may be permissible to acquire family medical history as part of the certification process for FMLA.
6. Military status/military obligations
University policies prohibit discriminatory treatment of students or employees based on past, present, or future service in the "uniformed services," whether involuntarily or voluntarily.
7. National origin
Policies prohibit the unequal treatment of individuals because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of their ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background (even if they are not).
University policies prohibit discrimination or harassment of individuals because of their religious beliefs. The University will reasonably accommodate the religious needs of its employees and students if such accommodation does not pose an undue burden on the University.
9. Race/color
Racial discrimination occurs when an individual is subjected to unequal treatment or harassment because of their color, or their actual or perceived race. Policies or practices that have a disproportionately negative impact on members of a particular race may be considered discriminatory, even if they appear neutral.
10. Retaliation
It is unlawful to treat an individual negatively because that individual has, in good faith, exercised their rights under the policy to complain of alleged discrimination or sexual harassment, or has provided information in an investigation about behavior that may violate University policies.
You have the right to report unlawful discrimination to the University. To file a report, or to inquire about accommodations or resources, visit us online at www.unr.edu/eotix.
EO/TIX assists with religious accommodations and reasonable accommodations for employees with qualifying disabilities. EO/TIX also provides resources for Undocumented and DACA students, and provides Training and various workshops for students, employees, and student organizations. For more information, please call the Equal Opportunity and Title IX office at (775) 784-1547.

A Glimpse at Executives Who Left the Sinking Novell Ship
Posted in Novell at 6:25 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: A roundup of news about former Novell staff and where that staff is moving these days
NOVELL is a relic, but one that has become almost synonymous with old networks. Novell is no longer a company, let alone one that boasts having about 12,000 members of full-time staff.
Mr. Taylor, a former Novell senior, becomes CFO at Adaptive Computing and the respective press release says:
Mr. Taylor also served as the Director of Finance and Group Controller for the Product Development Organization at Novell, where he worked extensively in the product planning process.
Here is the story of a man who served/advised companies sold to Novell:
Syed, managing principal at PredictSoft LLC, moved to Shrewsbury in early 2005 and has since been driving new initiatives, including funding high-tech companies to drive entrepreneurs to come up with better software products that enhance business productivity. Over the last two years, he has been an investor and adviser to companies that were sold to Novell, Cisco Systems, McAfee and Intel. These companies created jobs in Massachusetts and California.
Another new hire:
Butterfield is the founder and managing partner of SageCreek Partners, where he helps companies with their go-to market, recruiting, finance and business development initiatives. Before SageCreek, he guided Altiris to eight consecutive years of profitability, overseeing growth in revenue from $3 million to more than $300 million. He had similar results at Vinca Corporation, Legato, Novell and WordPerfect. Butterfield is the winner of the 2002 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
More Novell connections here:
Masie worked for 8 years in the USA at Novells head office in Utah as a Global Corporate Technology Strategist. On his return to South Africa he assumed the role of country manager of Novell and thereafter developed, established and launched Google South Africa.
Masie is mentioned here as well:
Masie worked for eight years in the USA at Novell's head office in Utah as a Global Corporate Technology Strategist.
Here is Semel, another familiar person who left, finding his place at a new company:
Mr. Semel joins IntraLinks after serving as senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Novell, Inc. Previously, Mr. Semel served as chief legal officer and corporate secretary at Tele Atlas N.V., a Dutch Euronext company providing digital mapping and navigation solutions. Mr. Semel also served as vice president, general counsel and secretary of Ascential Software Corporation, a provider of enterprise data integration, and vice president, general counsel and secretary of NaviSite, Inc.
Corey becomes Chief Revenue Officer and the press release says:
Prior to USWeb, he served as vice president at Novell's $1.2 billion NetWare systems business. More recently,
More former Novell staff is mentioned in other articles, but these people are not as prominent. For instance:
A seasoned executive, he has held various senior management positions in both start-up and large enterprise companies including Novell Inc., the pioneer in local area networking. At Novell he led marketing, product management, developer and strategic relations organizations.
One who moved to McAfee is already leaving:
She joined the vendor in summer 2009, arriving from an equivalent position at Novell. According to McAfee, she has moved on "to pursue new opportunities". She is replaced as UK and Ireland vice president by Ross Allen.
Job hopping already?
Other former Novell employees ended up in this company. For example, to quote this new report from Canada:
The move to the worldwide role at McAfee puts Struthers on what he calls his "fourth continental hop." After starting out in South Africa, he moved to Dubai for Novell about ten years ago, reporting into EMEA. Then it was off to Asia Pacific, based in Australia, for McAfee. And now, onto North America.
The bottom line is, a lot of people whom we know from Novell (where they were managers) are no longer with Novell or even with Attachmate. Novell is where people stay to sink with a ship. █

Both my Kids have always been fussy eaters. Jamie doesn't like anything green or orange in his food, and Riley is very particular about textures. I always struggle to find ways to feed Riley as he is into feeding himself lately, which is great for his independence, but it is also like utilizing a blender without a lid.
When I introduced 'squishy' pouches to Riley, he absolutely loved them! He would sometimes cry for more, which is wonderful compared to the 2-3 spoons he would take from me when I fed him. However, even though most of the squishy pouches are preservative free, It still makes me a little nervous and I much prefer making fresh meals for the boys.
I came across a feeding line by Layette Essentials, called Fresh Squeezed by Infantino. They were kind enough to send me one to review.
Layette Essentials is a family owned business that appreciates how a simple concept can make your life easier. They have brought about this clever and innovative product that allows you to craft your very own creations, and put them into convenient, easy to store pouches.
All moms want convenience! And although it is important to get your kids to try textures and get used to solid food, This product just makes it so easy to feed your baby, especially if they are learning to feed themselves and they are refusing textures. This way, at least they are getting their nutrients in. You can still incorporate your textures and use anything from butternut, to chickpeas – the options are endless, It can also be used to make frozen slushies in summer, using fruits. YUM. Thank you to Brigitte Philogene, Angela Rae and Odette van der Merwe from the Mamahood Cape Town Group on Facebook for the recipes – I will be trying them out and letting you know!
Once you have cooked or steamed your vegetables, you blend or mash it and pop it into the cylinder of the Fresh Squeezed Machine. Using the press, you squeeze the puree into the pouches (you can fill up to 3 pouches at a time).
Once it is filled up, you screw the lid on and it is ready to eat, or store in the fridge or freezer. Whats great is, you can make quite a few and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months! Just remember to use the space provided on the disposable pouches and write the date it what made.
The reusable pouch is also a winner, as it is made from silicone, which makes it easy for baby to squeeze the food out, it also comes with a handy clip to attach it to the baby's bag or stroller when you are out and about.

There were 14,467 refugee claims made by people who crossed into Canada outside legal border points in a nine-month period this year, and nearly half of them were from Haiti.
Data released by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) on Wednesday shows that 6,304 citizens of Haiti claimed refugee status after crossing illegally into Canada between February and October, about 44 per cent of the total number. 298 have had their claims finalized so far, and just 29 of them, or 10 per cent, have been accepted.
That number will certainly rise as some 50,000 Haitians who've lived and worked in the United States since an earthquake in 2010 are reeling from news that their special protected status in the US will be canceled.

Warrior-Costumed Everglow Deliver Strong Performance in Showcase for New Album
Girl group Everglow showed off a charismatic look in warrior-like clothing in a showcase for their second mini album livestreamed on YouTube on Sept. 21.
The album, the group's first since February, comes with the indecipherable title of "-77.82X-78.29" and contains four songs.
The lead track, "La Di Da," a mix of uptempo electro-pop and retro-style vibes, delivers a message to listeners not to be one of those in life who are not satisfied with the way things are and only seem to complain about everything.
Since their debut in March last year, the six-member group have already established a fan base here and hope to further expand their presence overseas.

Scotland's triumphant Glasgow 2014 continues as the hosts pick up Gold in the SSE GoGlasgow Leaderboard. The nation's fans were a tremendous support to the athletes throughout the Games in stadia, and that support has clearly been equally passionate online as Scotland are crowned winners of the social leaderboard.
Energy firm SSE, Proud Partner of Glasgow 2014, asked fans to spur on their team by tweeting messages of support via http://www.glasgow2014.com/sse-goglasgow. An incredible 50,314 Tweets were registered from fans all over the world but there could only be one winner, Scotland. The host nation finished with an impressive 18,113 tweets, with Wales finishing second on 9,560 and India in third position on 6,123.
Scotland's fans took the lead from the very first day of the Games and held a firm grip to not only pick up the fanatical fan accolade, but also secure their nation vital funding for 25 aspiring athletes of the future through SSE's Next Generation programme. SSE provides vital support to 100 young athletes across the UK - including funding, mentoring and access to state-of-the-art facilities – in a bid to help them fulfil their full sporting potential. By winning SSE GoGlasgow the host nation will now receive additional support to help young athletes emerge through Scotland's talent system providing an immediate living legacy from the Games.
SSE's support of the Four Home Nations, whose fans were in magnificent form throughout the Games, will go further than just the hosts. Second placed Wales will receive funding for a further ten athletes, England will receive support for an additional eight young stars and Northern Ireland will get backing for seven new SSE Next Generation athletes.

Warninglist of false registers/invoices
Milan 05 Mar 2019
Banksy enforces his trademark in court for the first time
Banksy's company Pest Control has sued an Italian company for selling unauthorized Banksy merchandise in connection to an art exhibition. In a provisional ruling, a court in Milan has ordered the company to stop selling the merchandise at hand. This is probably the first time the artist has gone to court to protect his highly valued intellectual property.
Banksy, one of the world's most famous yet unknown street-artist, has previously stated that "copyright is for losers", even though unauthorized copying of his work is widespread. Nevertheless, he is not oblivious to the matter, he has set up a company called Pest Control that authenticates Banksy artwork and handles related intellectual property.
An exhibition called "A Visual Protest. The Art of Banksy" is currently running at Milan's Mudec Museum (until April 2019) and shows authentic Banksy prints and original work. However, in connection to the exhibition, there were unauthorized Banksy merchandise produced by the organizer for sale, such as journals, erasers, postcards, notebooks and diaries. In this case, Pest Control enforced its BANKSY trademark to stop the unauthorized merchandising, as well as the use of Banksy imagery in the promotional material produced by the exhibition's organizers.
In a preliminary ruling, the Milan judge ruled that the unauthorized merchandising constituted trademark infringement and should not be sold. However, the judge denied wrongdoings when using Banksy's name and work on promotional materials. The court stressed that the use of Banksy's art on such material is informative in the sense that it is necessary to describe the content of the show.

The doctrine of deviation is like a mirror image of classical marine insurance rules which made a cargo policy void and cargo owner uninsured when a ship deviated from the agreed route.
7. 2 This insurance covers general average and salvage charges, adjusted or determined according to the contract of affreightment and/or the governing law and practice, incurred to avoid or in connection with the avoidance of loss from any cause except those excluded in Clauses 4, 5, 6 and 7 or elsewhere in this insurance.
Deviation in marine insurance happens when the ship intentionally changes its route or remains in port without cause, here, the new route or delay of the ship would be called deviation.

Barrie Keeffe, screenwriter of classic British gangster movie "The Long Good Friday," has died. He was 74.
Keeffe's agent, Stephen Durbridge, said Keeffe died Tuesday in London after a short illness.
PHILIP MCKEON, 'ALICE' CHILD STAR, DEAD AT 55
London-born Keeffe made his name in the theater with plays including "Sus," "Gimme Shelter" and "Barbarians," which often tackled themes of poverty, class and racism.
He is best known for "The Long Good Friday," the 1980 thriller directed by John Mackenzie and starring Bob Hoskins as an East End gangster aiming to make a killing on the redevelopment of London's docks. The film, which also featured Helen Mirren and a young Pierce Brosnan, is ranked 21st in the British Film Institute's list of the top 100 British films of the 20th century.
Keeffe's agent said he died Tuesday in London after a short illness. (Nigel Sutton)
ROXETTE MEMBER MARIE FREDRIKSSON DEAD AT 61
The film contains a speech that became one of Hoskins' most iconic scenes — a Cockney-accented dismissal of American culture: "What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?"
He is survived by his wife, Jacky Stoller, and by two sons from his earlier marriage to the late Verity Bathgate.

Yuri Anufrievich Ivanov (Russian: Ю́рий Ану́фриевич Ивано́в; 1956–1989), known as The Ust-Kamenogorsk Maniac, was a Soviet rapist and serial killer. In the span of 13 years, he raped and killed 16 girls and women. He committed his crimes in Ust-Kamenogorsk, in the area of the "Combine of silk fabrics" factory.

Biography
Yuri Ivanov worked as driver. He was married, as was his daughter. One day, he returned home from work and found his wife in bed with a lover. Ivanov then developed a hatred towards, and vowed to kill, women who cheat on their husbands. During the investigation, Ivanov said that he talked with a lot of women, learning about their opinions towards men. If the woman spoke ill of her husband or men as a whole, he would kill her. He would rape and subsequently choke his victims to death. After the murder, as a rule, he would take some of deceased's personal belongings.

He was eventually sentenced to three years imprisonment for attempted rape. In the colony, Ivanov worked as a driver. With the opportunity to travel beyond the colony, he committed several crimes while still serving time.

From 1977 to 1987, Ivanov did not kill, as his personal life was adjusted. But after he and his wife divorced in 1986, he returned to violent crime. In 1987, he killed a 16-year-old girl. At the crime scene, an aluminum button and a hair sample were found that did not belong to the victim. An ambush was set up at the murder scene the next day and, when Yuri Ivanov came back, he was arrested. Facing strong evidence against him (two of his cohabitants, whom he had given items from the victims, gave the police a purse with his fingerprint, and his jacket that lacked an aluminum button), Ivanov confessed to the rape and murders of sixteen women and girls and fourteen separate rapes. Ivanov remembered the events that spanned many years, short of slight details, directing police to all the crime scenes without much error. He said that he remembered the faces of his victims, and to prove this, the investigators devised a unique experiment - "identification of the contrary": they showed him photos of different women, so he would determine which of them he had raped or killed. Ivanov identified the pictures of his victims without mistake. For the murder of one of the women in 1974, the victim's husband was convicted. By that time he had served most of the term - 7 out of 12 years. The verdict against him was later abolished, and the murder correctly imputed to Ivanov.

Yuri Ivanov himself asked for the death penalty, and in 1989, he was sentenced to death. Before the execution he asked to arrange a meeting with his daughter, but she refused. In 1989, Ivanov was executed by firing squad.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for some, but for those who manage to squeeze some gym time into their routine, pre- and post-workout foods can be just as huge. While everyone's nutritional requirements are different depending on their goals and activities, these snacks can offer the right balance of carbohydrates, fats and protein to satisfy hunger, fuel workouts and aid in recovery.
The body works to build muscle and recover 24 hours a day, not just during that one-hour session at the gym. Luckily, smartly timed snacks can give the body the fuel it needs to gain muscle, burn fat and recover as best it can.
Pre-workout, that usually means grabbing a snack about 30-60 minutes in advance, depending on its size and contents, and how much that stomach's actually grumbling. All ready to go?
Put a twist on the classic kids' treat by blending one scoop vanilla whey protein powder, 1 cup orange juice and 1 cup ice. Trainer and fitness expert @JCDFitness does it!
Infuse one scoop chocolate whey protein with 2 teaspoons of extra virgin coconut oil. "Girls Gone Strong" cofounder @JenComasKeck loves this!
Need a pre-workout pick-me-up? Greatist's fitness editor suggests blending 1 cup iced coffee (keep the ice) with 1 scoop chocolate whey protein.
Blend one scoop of your favorite whey protein flavor with ½ cup ice, and 1 cup frozen berries for a sweet energy boost, suggests strength coach @Roglaw.
For a quick carb fuel-up, slice one medium apple and serve with 2 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter.
Prefer to keep it sweet but simple? Combine 1 cup berries, melon, banana and oranges — oh my!
For a quick pre-workout fix, try ¼ cup serving of dried berries, apricots and pineapple, says Greatist Expert Jessica Redmond.
Have a heartier appetite? Try one or two hard-boiled eggs with one slice of whole-wheat toast.
Need something light that makes you feel like a kid again? Try one single serving of fruit leather.
Have a little extra time? Roll some out in the kitchen.
For a fast bite, grab 2-4 ounces (or a palm-sized amount) of sliced chicken with an equal portion size of sweet potatoes, suggests Greatist Expert Dan Trink.
Not just for breakfast, try ½ cup cooked oatmeal and two whole eggs seasoned with salt and pepper.
Fuel up with 1-2 tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter and half a sliced banana on whole-wheat toast, says Greatist Expert Lisa Moskovitz.
Add 2-4 ounces (or a palm-sized amount) of roasted turkey and 3-4 avocado slices to ½ cup cooked whole-wheat pasta for some enviable eats.
Spruce up this classic by combining one frozen Kashi waffle with 2 teaspoons of almond butter and 1 teaspoon of jam.
A half-cup cooked oats with 1 teaspoon defatted peanut flour, a dash of stevia, and a sprinkling of cocoa powder on top — a concoction from the kitchen of Greatist contributor David Butler.
Add a little more color to your diet by combining two whole eggs shaken with 1 teaspoon of water cooked with 1 cup sautéed seasonal veggies.
Top ½ cup cottage cheese — a low calorie and higher protein option — with ½ cup fresh pineapple, berries or melon. And voila!
Got a long way to run? Fuel up with ½ cup cooked rice, covered with ½ cup milk, a scatter of raisins and a dash of cinnamon on top.
An 8-ounce low sugar sports drink (keep it under 10 grams of sugar) will do the trick if you're in a crunch. For a little more fuel, add a scoop of BCAA powder — branch chain amino acids that help maintain muscle and tissue health.
Need some greens? Try 1 cup of salad greens with assorted veggies, one hardboiled egg and a drizzle of EVOO and vinegar, or your favorite low-fat dressing.
Got a long way to go? Slurp down a energy gel (like Gu) prior to an endurance workout.

Detroit : May 12-14
2015 Pics
The Havana Motor Club interview with director B.J Perlmutt by Mark MacInnis
Standard / by Jeremy Cable / June 15, 2015 / No Comments
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Google+Share on Linkedin
If Detroit is known as the "Motor City", should we start calling Cuba the "Motor Island"?
Yes! The streets of Cuba contain a "rolling" museum of classic American cars, and in a very natural and practical way, Cuba has preserved a beautiful piece of Detroit's history for all to see.
How did you guys discover underground drag racing in Cuba and from that moment how long did it take to finish the film?
In January 2012, we were invited to an event at the "Amigos de Fangio" car club where they were celebrating the kidnapping of Argentine Formula One racing legend Juan Manuel Fangio. While we were there, they announced that in just six weeks, Cuba would be holding its first official car race since shortly after the Revolution. We then met with the head of one of Cuba's car clubs who introduced us to several of Cuba's top underground drag racers and their vibrant community. We filmed days and nights with them as they prepared their classic cars for this historic race, however three days before the race, the Pope announced his visit to Cuba, and the race was canceled because they claimed they needed all the barricades that they were going to use for the race, for the Pope. The race kept getting postponed, and without revealing the the film's finale, we ended up working on it for over 3.5 years!
What was one of the biggest challenges making the film?
I had lived in Argentina and spoke Spanish proficiently, but Cuban Spanish is from another planet and it took me a long time to understand it, particularly among the mechanics who had their own slang. I was fortunate to have a Latino crew from all over Latin America (mostly Cuban). Another challenge was securing permits in a timely fashion. And then of course it was very difficult to secure any electronic/film equipment.
One of the racers recovered an engine from the ocean floor that was used to smuggle Cubans off the island. He then found away to use that in his car? Talk to us about that and the ingenuity you came across. I guess it's true what they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention"?
The Cuban racers featured in our film invent out of necessity, mostly because of the U.S. embargo that restricts them from getting the parts and supplies they need from the U.S. for their old American cars. In spite of this embargo, not only have they been able to maintain these cars on the streets of Havana for over 50 years, they've also been able to build them into racing machines that can compete with top drag racers all over the world. What they cannot buy, they invent and create.
You spend lots of time with your subjects when making a documentary. What was the overall feeling from the racers and their family's on how Cuba is changing and on Obama's recent moves to normalize relations? Have they noticed any change?
Most Cubans have friends and family in the US, and are closely tied to American culture. My subjects and their families were thrilled about Obama's move to normalize relations with Cuba because it will allow them to engage more with Americans. The one fear that many of them have is that only certain Cubans will benefit from the new relationship Cuba has with the U.S., which will result in more inequality in Cuba. This inequality has already been demonstrated in the world of drag racing in Cuba, where now there are many more modern cars racing against the classic cars. Our racers now have to compete with a huge influx of money and technology coming in to Cuba that give less skilled racing teams an unfair advantage.
As far as other changes that they've noticed, they feel like it's now easier to bring in parts from the U.S. and they're excited to have the opportunity to meet car aficionados from the U.S. who have been coming in droves to Havana since Obama normalized relations.
You're coming to Detroit to present your film and do the Q and A. We are currently trying to get a couple of the racers to join you, what are their thought about visiting Detroit? It must be exciting for you after being around all those vehicles made in Detroit.
It looks like at least Piti, one of the racers, will me joining me in Detroit. He's over the moon about this trip, as he sees Detroit as his Mecca. He hopes to be given tours of as many car museums and factories as possible. He's OBSESSED with Mustangs, so I hope he'll at least have a chance to visit the Mustang factory.
I'm really excited about my trip to Detroit as well. I've only been once to screen a documentary I produced in 2004 (CONTROL ROOM), but I was only there for two days and didn't get to travel much. I'm most excited to experience Detroit through the eyes of Piti (and hopefully some of the other racers), and I can't wait to check out the roots of their passion.

Safer Streets Success
The announcement of over $900,000 in grant funding to improve public safety in Toormina and Coffs Harbour city centre has been welcomed by Mayor Councillor Denise Knight.
CCTV cameras and associated security lighting is to be installed at Toormina Sports Precinct, a car park and streets in the CBD thanks to an Australian Government Safer Communities Fund grant of $901,100 for the SafeCoffs project.
"We've been working very closely with locals, community organisations, businesses and sports groups in these areas which have, unfortunately, become hot spots for crime and antisocial behaviour in recent years," she said.
"Installing CCTV and security lighting will go a very long way to making people feel safer in the future and will help cultivate family-friendly and welcoming spaces where fears of crime or intimidation are no longer a barrier to people's enjoyment."
The cameras and lighting are to be put into City Square, Park Avenue Car Park, Park Avenue Lane, Toormina Oval, Skate Park and Velodrome where they will be a deterrent to offenders while also enabling more successful police investigations through easier identification. Better lighting will also improve public safety.
CBD business owners and members of the community had reported that safety fears were causing people to avoid the area, particularly at night.
The Toormina Sports Precinct has been the target of vandalism and anti-social behaviour with damage occurring across the site at the Velodrome, Skate Park and Toormina Oval. Fears have been expressed by the community about the use of the spaces , which has impacted pn local sports groups, shopping centre users and Toormina Library, as well as youth skaters and Girl Guides.
"Council is also currently resurfacing and upgrading the Skate Park through a $50,000 grant and – coupled with the new CCTV and lighting – we're aiming on returning this facility back to the community," added Cr Knight.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing families, youth and the whole community enjoying these spaces in the future."
The grant will fund works at the Velodrome, Toormina Skate Park and Toormina Oval during 2018-2019 and in City Square, Park Avenue Car Park and Park Avenue Lane in 2019-2020.

Despite Scandals, These States Still Don't Check for Cheating Teachers
Erasure analysis exposed widespread cheating in Atlanta schools. So why aren't these states testing their teachers?
—Lois Beckett, ProPublica

This story first appeared on the ProPublica website.
This summer, as students enjoyed their summer vacations, education officials in many states were busy handling sweeping investigations into teacher cheating. In one school district in Atlanta, at least 178 teachers and principals were implicated in a widespread falsification of student test scores. They had taken students' standardized test sheets, erased wrong answers and replaced them with the right ones. One teacher told investigators that the district was "run like the mob," and that she was afraid of retaliation if she didn't participate.
The cheating in Atlanta was uncovered in part thanks to two simple checks that states can conduct to look for suspicious test results.
The same machines that grade the penciled-in bubbles of standardized tests can also tally how many answers on the tests have been erased and changed from wrong to right. The technique, called "erasure analysis," flags suspicious patterns of answers that may indicate teachers have tampered with answer sheets to inflate their students' scores.
In Atlanta, students' test scores also jumped or dropped from year to year in unlikely ways. Checking for such dramatic swings is another way of spotting potential teacher cheating.
Experts view such screening as crucial. Teachers and principals are faced with increasing incentives to cheat, since student scores are being used to determine whether schools get funding and how teachers and principals get paid. US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan recently told USA Today that states should require such screening.
Some states are indeed becoming more aggressive. Florida and Illinois instituted more rigorous screenings of statewide tests this year. (Yesterday, USA Today noted that 20 states regularly screen.)
Yet, some of the largest states have lagged.
California stands out. The state's Department of Education conducted erasure analysis on tests for several years but ended the program in 2009. John Boivin, an administrator in the education department, said screening was stopped as part of massive cuts after a drastic budget shortfall two years ago. (Boivin also said the erasure analysis cost the state $105,000 per year.)
Deborah Sigman, California's deputy superintendent of public instruction, said the state ultimately had to choose between eliminating some of the tests themselves and scaling back test oversight.
Sigman also said the state has always uncovered more cheating via on-the-ground reports, which the state now relies on. The number of reports of teacher cheating has increased from 69 three years ago to 263 in the past year, she said.
But Boston College professor Walt Haney, an expert on testing, said screening is critical.
"Any large districts or state that didn't employ those techniques would have its head in the sand," Haney said. "Given the number of large cheating scandals that have emerged over the last 20 years, any large institution would be derelict in not instituting some of the widely documented techniques for identifying cheating."
Sigman said California plans to reinstate erasure analysis as soon as it has the money to do so—perhaps this spring.
"This is a real priority," she said. And, she noted, "It's kind of a small investment."
Other states have also been slow to act. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, officials screened for suspicious levels of erasures, only to let results gather dust for years until local journalists investigated and published the results themselves.
"People don't want to know," said Jennifer Jennings, a sociology professor at New York University who specializes in education. "People would rather hold their noses and hope the scores mean what they think they mean. At every level of the system, there are adults who have an interest in the scores going up."
Such methods as erasure analysis don't provide proof on their own that cheating has occurred. Because the screenings depend on statistical analysis, they can only say which results are typical and which ones are highly improbable.
When USA Today consulted statisticians about the 2009 test results from one elementary school in Washington, DC, they were told that so many erasures by chance were less likely than winning the Powerball grand prize with a $1 lottery ticket.
Screening methods do flag schools that are later cleared on further investigation, but screening also consistently identifies cheating that might otherwise have gone undiscovered.
In New Jersey, the state Department of Education has conducted erasure analysis of state tests since 2008. But the department did not investigate any of the schools flagged in those reports until this summer, when the Asbury Park Press successfully sued the department to obtain a copy of the analysis and made it public. (Spokesman Justin Barra told ProPublica that while the department did not share the reports with districts, the state did use them to decide whether to send observers on test days.)
Following the Asbury Park Press exposé, 34 schools are now under investigation.
Pennsylvania's Department of Education received an erasure analysis report in 2009 that flagged dozens of schools for potential cheating but left the results untouched for two years and did not notify school districts about the anomalies. After a reporter for an education blog obtained the report and made it public, the state ordered initial investigations of 89 schools.
In Texas, assessment officials said the state's education agency has done erasure analysis reports for at least 10 years. But until this year, the state had not used them to investigate schools unless school staff members or test monitors also had submitted cheating complaints.
Texas' policy continued despite a 2007 update to the state's education code requiring the adoption of statistical measures to screen for cheating and a procedure for investigating schools with suspicious results. Four years later, Texas is finally putting those measures in place.
Criss Cloudt, Texas' associate commissioner of assessment and accountability, said the state has relied on its rigorous test security measures, including seating charts, honor pledges, and legally binding oaths that test administrators must sign, to prevent cheating.
Testing experts say that test security, while important, is not a substitute for screening measures.
Other states are also beginning more rigorous screenings.
In a report released last week, New York's Department of Education recommended a multipart screening of state tests, looking for score jumps, unlikely patterns of answers, and high levels of erasures. North Carolina also is considering more regular erasure analysis.
Florida has screened a subset of high-stakes tests since 2004 and implemented a state-of-the-art analysis of all statewide test results this year.
"Generally, from leadership we have gotten a good but nervous response. This obviously is not the kind of work that people relish doing," said Kris Ellington, Florida's deputy commissioner for accountability, research and measurement. "Other than that, the discomfort with it, there aren't any drawbacks."
Of course, instituting a more rigorous screening of test results means facing how widespread teacher cheating actually is. The new analysis revealed more suspicious results from both students and teachers than in previous years, Ellington said.
But Ellington said the problematic results represented a tiny fraction of the tests administered—and that screening has given Florida confidence that the remainder of its scores are valid.
"We want to make sure that no corruption is part of this process," she said. "We don't believe that there are big pockets of problems. But we can't just live in our happy place and believe it. We have to know it."

Dr Vivien Lim, endocrinologist at Gleneagles Hospital, explains what diabetes is and how to manage it.
In Singapore, 1 in 9 people has diabetes. In people aged 60 – 69, this number is 1 in 3. The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing throughout the years, along with obesity. If you think you may have diabetes, always consult a doctor.
What exactly is diabetes and how can it be managed?
Diabetes is a condition where there is excess sugar, known as glucose, in the blood. This excess sugar leads to increased risk of various organ damage such as:
Eyes – including blindness
Kidneys – about 50% of the patients in Singapore on kidney dialysis have diabetes
Nerve – including numbness on the feet and risk of injury to it
Foot infection and various other infections
Heart disease and death
Stroke and death
What is the problem in diabetes?
At the heart of it, the problem lies with a deficiency of insulin. This can be relative or absolute. Insulin is the hormone that governs the fate of the glucose and is produced by the pancreas, a leaf-like gland in the region of the stomach. Glucose is the fuel that keeps the body and cells moving. Insulin is the hormone that is the key to open the door to allow glucose to enter the cells and be used as fuel.
In Type 1 diabetes, the patient has no insulin. They have absolute insulin deficiency. Insulin has to be added to their body in order for them to survive.
In Type 2 diabetes, the issue lies with insulin resistance. With increasing obesity, there is a corresponding increase in the resistance to insulin. This increased resistance makes insulin less effective and hence the term relative insulin resistance. In the early stages of Type 2 diabetes, oral medications can be used to great effect. However, as time and the disease progresses, the pancreas might not produce so much insulin anymore and the patient might tip into absolute insulin deficiency where insulin has to be added in order to maintain good control of the diabetes.
How do you diagnose diabetes?
Knowing how to diagnose diabetes is important. A National Health Survey carried out in 2010 revealed that about 50% of diabetes patients in Singapore were not aware that they had diabetes.
A diagnosis of diabetes is made if:
Fasting glucose of ≫ 7.0 mmol/L
2 hours post a 75g glucose tolerance test of ≫ 11.1 mmol/L
Random glucose of ≥ 11.1 mmol/L
Management of diabetes
The management of diabetes should be both comprehensive and customised for the particular patient. There is no one management plan that fits everyone.
To manage diabetes is to manage all the consequences that can arise from diabetes, not just the glucose levels.
There are screening tests that easily allow us to detect if the organs that are at risk for patients with diabetes have been affected. These tests should be carried out regularly.
There are millions of people who are suffering from diabetes and no two are identical. Their disease is a contribution of both genes and environment, which in this case is the resistance to insulin that arises from obesity.
Depending on the circumstances of the patient and the various other diseases that the patient is suffering from, customisation has to be done for the overall long-term control of diabetes (measured as the Hba1c), and the medication that will best sit the particular patient.
With advancing technology, more drugs have been discovered to act on complementary aspects of diabetes. In addition to controlling the sugars, they might have additional benefits such as preserving the function of the pancreas as well as weight loss.
Hence, the initiation of drugs and which drugs to use ought to be discussed between the doctor and the patient to select the most appropriate one for the patient.
For the management of chronic diseases, drugs should go hand in hand with proper nutrition. Since the body cannot handle carbohydrates efficiently, it would be good to cut down on the percentage of carbohydrates in the diet to about 50% of overall daily nutrition.
If you need further advice on how to treat and manage diabetes, speak to a specialist.

A few weeks later, towing lights, camera, props, and backdrops in my little green wagon, I walked down the hall of a typical looking brick middle school in Salt Lake City. After checking in I got set up at my assigned station. My job that day was to create photograph's for the "I Dream" page that would go in each child's book.
As I took a few minutes to talk with each child, I quickly realized how big their dreams are. After finishing up for the day I considered all that had been shared with me. A local leader recently posed the question, "What if their story were my story?" I started wondering, "What if this child were my child?" What would I hope and need from a new community where everything from the language and dress to the educational expectations was foreign to me?
It's simple. I would want–and need–kindness, inclusion, guidance and support. I returned home to search for additional opportunities to assist the children I had met. I did not have to look far to locate fantastic local organizations engaged in working with youth who have come to this country as refugees. Opportunities offered included things such as purchasing an item off an Amazon wish list, gathering a group of 12-18 year old girls to play one volleyball game with a team of girls who are refugees, sewing teachers to help at a Saturday clinic to teach women who are refugees to sew.
The opportunities to serve are varied and numerous. As we work together to compassionately provide necessary support for children who are refugees, we help shape their future story, and in so doing, write a new chapter in our own.
