Ха́рківський худо́жній музе́й — музей образотворчого мистецтва (один з найбільших в Україні) в місті Харкові, значне зібрання творів образотворчого і декоративно-ужиткового мистецтва України, Росії та західних країн.

Харківський художній музей розташований за адресою: вул. Жон Мироносиць, 11, м. Харків (Україна). Міститься в колишньому маєтку промисловця-мільйонера Ігнатищева (до Жовтневого перевороту 1917 року володів Іванівським пивзаводом) — будівля зводилась як житлове приміщення (для однієї родини) 1912 року за проектом академіка архітектури Олексія Бекетова в стилі класицизм з елементами бароко і модерну.

Низка приміщень художнього музея

За часів СРСР художній музей розмістили в приміщеннях покинутого харківського Покровського монастиря, вологих, без опалення, ніяк не пристосованих до зберігання музейних речей.
Лише згодом мистецька колекція отримала п'ятиповерховий будинок (вул. Басейна, 18), а музей отримав назву Українська державна картинна галерея (УДКГ). Картинна галерея у Харкові в роки тимчасової окупації обслуговувала  німецьких офіцерів та слугувала безкоштовним складом художніх речей, котрі забирали для декорування офіцерського казино та їдальні, штабів, житлових приміщень німецьких офіцерів. Частка музейних експонатів вивозилась до Німеччини. Швидкий наступ Червоної Армії у серпні 1943 року примусив окупантів помститися місту, коли був спалений п'ятиповерховий будинок разом із усіма експонатами та меблями. Будівля була поруйнована, втратила всі дахи, лише залишки мурів центральної частини стояли на смітнику і згарищі.

Евакуйована (мізерна частина експонатів) перебувала в місті Новосибірськ, туди вдалося вивезти близько 4700 експонатів з 75000 довоєнної колекції. Повернуті у Харків, експонати вимушено розмістили на теперішній вулиці Жон Мироносиць, 11 (колишня радянська назва вулиці Раднаркомівська), в колишньому домі-палаці для почесного громадянина Харкова Івана Єгоровича Ігнатищева, власника пивоварного заводу. Будинок-палац у два поверхи теж був пошкоджений, були пошкоджені фасади, вибиті вікна. Музею первісно віддали лише другий поверх. Перший поверх посіли художній інститут і училище, майстерні художнього фонду, обласне правління Спілки художників, їдальня райтресту. Лише на початку 1950-х споруда стала повністю належати Художньому музеєві.

Будинок-палац Івана Ігнатищева

Націоналізований житловий будинок-палац Івана Ігнатищева після 1917 використовувався не за призначенням. Декотрий час тут містилося представництво Центральної Ради, а по закінченню  громадянської війни з 1922 по 1928 роки – Раднарком України, котрий створили за рішенням Тимчасового робітничо-селянського уряду (29.01.1919), а потім Рада народних комісарів Української  Соціалістичної республіки. 1928 Раднарком  переведено до великого будинку Держпрому, а в палаці перебував проектний інститут «Укр-Діпромез».  Він був переведений у вільне приміщення на Московський проспект, а в палаці з 1932 р. розмістився Науково-дослідний інститут літературознавства ім. Т. Г. Шевченка, заснований 1926, який тоді очолював академік Д.І.Багалій. 20 вересня 1940 Рада Народних Комісарів УРСР постановила: «Організувати в Києві на базі республіканської ювілейної Шевченківської виставки Центральний державний музей Т.Г.Шевченка, в якому зосередити всі оригінальні матеріали, пов'язані з життям та революційною діяльністю Т.Г.Шевченка. Передати до Центрального державного музею Т.Г.Шевченка всі матеріали республіканської виставки, утвореної в м.Києві до 125-річного ювілею з дня народження поета та закріпити за музеєм експонати, представлені до згаданої виставки різними музеями та установами УРСР» і інститут переїхав до Києва, якому віддали Маріїнський палац.

Сам колишній будинок 1912 родини Ігнатищева двоповерховий, на цоколі, цегляний, потинькований, у плані нагадував літеру «П». Після передачі його під Художній музей крила палацу з'єднали закритою галереєю, аби забезпечити закольцований перехід відвідувачів і екскурсантів. Напівбожевільне перебування в споруді настільки різних за функціями закладів і радянських контор привело до значних втрат оздоб і ліпленого декору в стилі історизм. На скошених кутах палацової будівлі були колись балкони з балюстрадами, нині не існують. На головному фасаді збережені герми з дівочими головами. На рівні другого поверху, з боку центрального віконного прорізу на вході, розміщено випадково збережений вітраж початку 20 століття.

В теперішньому приміщенні фондосховища (колишня їдальня Ігнатищева) збережений камін, облицьований  темно-зеленими пласкими полив'яними кахлями та рельєфними світло-жовтого кольору плетінками овальної форми та стилізованими квітами.

З історії музею
Засновником майбутнього музея в Харкові став Василь Назарович Каразін . Попри піклування про створення в місті університету, він діяльно сприяв придбанню для університетських збірок художніх творів. Вдалим було і перше значиме придбання Василя Каразіна, так він став власником вартісної колекції графіки, що належала вихователю дітей російського імператора Фрідріха Аделунга –  бібліографа та видавця з Петербурга . Російська імперія століттями не мала облаштованих доріг, тому придбані колекції Василь Каразін вивіз з Петербурга до Харкова санями взимку, оминувши і багно, і пилюку. Небагатий на той час Василь Каразін був вимушений не дарувати, а продати художню збірку Правлінню щойно створеного університету. Правління вагалося, бо імператорський університет на той час існував на благодійні внески, але знайшов кошти, зберігся запис (російською) «За эстампы  и оригинальные рисунки, коих числом 2477, заплачено 5000 руб.»

Художня збірка Харківського університету відразу набула значення не приватного, а суспільно-значимого зібрання. До збірок Харківського університету потрапили гравюри Луки Джордано, Джованні Кастільоне, Гверчіно, Пітера Брейгеля старшого, Хендріка Гольциуса молодшого, Антоніса ван Дейка. Перлиною збірки були оригінали німецького майстра Альбрехта Дюрера, котрі вдалося зберігти до початку 21 сторіччя попри всі негаразди і біди, які зазнав музей.

Офіційно за часів СРСР Харківський художній музей створений 1920 року, існував під різними назвами: спочатку Церковно-Історичний Музей, основою якого були колекції Харківського і Волинського єпархіальних сховищ старожитностей та Харківського університету.

Музей поповнено церковними експонатами, зібраними по церквах і монастирях Харкова й околиць під час реєстрації історичних пам'яток (більша частина котрих продана на закордонних аукціонах).

З 1922 Музей діяв під назвою Музей Українського Мистецтва. Тоді мав 3 відділи: малярський, (стінопис княжої доби, збірка ікон 16 — 19 вв., портрети, нар. картини, малярство з 19 ст. до сучасности); відділ скульптури; архітектурний. 1931 з музею вилучено твори образотворчого мистецтва й створено Національну українську картинну ґалерію; у 1930-их pp. Музей не був відкритий для публіки. 1944 року почав діяти як Музей Українського Мистецтва, 1949—1965 під назвою Державний Музей Образотворчого Мистецтва, згодом Харківський художній музей з 1965 року .

З 1986 Харківський художній музей отримав виставкове приміщення.

Будівля музею постраждала в ході російського вторгнення 2022 року. Внаслідок обстрілів було пошкоджено фасад, вікна та вітражі.

Експозиція і фонди

На початок 21 ст. експозиція Харківського художнього музею займає 25 заль, складена з відділів дореволюційного українського і російського мистецтва, радянського, закордонного і декоративно-ужиткового мистецтва.

Твори визначних українських майстрів: В.Боровиковського, Д.Левицького, А.Лосенка, І. Айвазовського, М.Ярошенка та ін. експонуються у відділі мистецтва Російської імперії.

В укр. відділі значне місце займає зб. творів С.Васильківського (перейшли до музея за заповітом художника), картини П.Мартиновича, П.Левченка, М.Беркоса, Д.Безперчого, М.Ткаченка, Т.Шевченка (автопортрет).

Окрему кімнату приділено І. Рєпіну (варіант картини «Запорожці пишуть листа …»). Взагалі музей утримує одинадцять (11) картин Іллі Юхимовича та вісім його малюнків.

У відділі радянського мистецтва експонуються всуміш українські та російські мистці; з укр. помітніші твори М.Самокиша, М.Бурачека, О.Сластіона, Ф.Кричевського, О.Мурашка, М.Дерегуса, І.Їжакевича, Ю.Нарбута, М.Пимоненка, Т.Яблонської, М. Федорова та ін.

1933 року – ГПУ сфабриковано справу про контрреволюційний блок музейників художнього музея, а провідних його співробітників було репресовано. Серед репресованих —  музейники Ф.Шміт, П.Жолтовський, С.Таранушенко, О.Нікольська, О.Берладіна, В.Зуммер, Д.Гордєєв та ін.

Репресії торкнулись не тільки живих людей, були вилучені та репресовані і колекції живопису авангадних художників.

Під час війни музей був значно пошкоджений, а кількість його експонатів зменшилась катастрофічно.

У 1980-х у фондах мав близько 20 000 творів митців.

Харківський художній музей влаштовує індивідуальні, тематичні та пересувні виставки.

Український, російський та радянський живопис

Збірка скульптур харківського музея

Збирати скульптуру завжди було важко, позаяк її створення надто капіталоємне.  Так, ще в 19 сторіччі при створенні у місті  Харківського міського художнього музея Петербурзька імператорська академія мистецтв передала перші зразки скульптур власних випускників (двадцять два зразки) та тридцять шість картин з власних запасників. Поповнення скульптурних збірок йшло повільно, в повоєнний (після 1946 року ) період збільшено за рахунок радянських пропагандистських робіт типу бюстів Леніна чи типових «партизан». Серед невеликої кількості скульптур музея перлиною є погруддя «Садко», майоліка, котру створив Врубель Михайло Олександрович.

Західноєвропейський живопис і графіка в Харківському художньому музеї

Західноєвропейський живопис прийшов у збірки тоді ще університетського музея ще у 19 ст.  Іван Єгорович Бецький  (1818—1890), сам випускник Імператорського харківського університету, видавець місцевого часопису «Молодик», досяг певного матеріального рівня, котрий дозволив купувати картини. 1835 року університетський статут офіційно зафіксував дарунок від Івана Бецького: п'ятсот сорок три (543) картини. Серед подарованого були також гравюри, видання з художніх технологій та монографії. Серед подарованих  творів —
 П'єтро да Кортона, кращий представник римського бароко «Мучеництво св. Лаврентія»
 Андреа Саккі, бароковий майстер релігійних образів і парадних портретів «Уславлення Христа-вседержителя»
 Франческо Фуріні, майстер жіночих та релігійних образів «Святий Себастьян»
 Джузеппе Марія Креспі  (1665-1747) – «Голова старого», Болонська школа
 Джованні Бенедетто Кастільоне, генуезька школа 17 ст., автор незвичних монотипій
 Лівіо Мехус, фламандець-художник, що натуралізувався у Флоренції «Розп'яття»
 Йоос ван Клеве («Мадонна з немовлям») та інші.
Первісно живопис використовували як учбові посібники та свідоцтва розквіту культури країн, що пройшли епохи розвитку відродження, маньєризму, бароко. З 1861 року університет зробив збірки живопису доступними не тільки для студентства, а й для широкого загалу, що сповістило про появу загально доступного музея на землях України.

1873 року пан Аркадій Алфьоров  (1818-1890), ще один випускник університету, гравер, дослідник і колекціонер, передав за заповітом університету п'ятдесят (50) картин та понад три тисячі п'ятсот (3500) творів графіки. Перші дарунки від Івана Бецького надійшли ще 1855 року. Вони призначались для малювального класу університету . В університетську збірку прийшли —

 Ян ван Скорель « Апостол Філіп хрестить ефіопського вельможу »
 Симон де Влігер «Морський краєвид»
 Франс Флорис «Сусанна і старці»
 Ханс ван Санта (натюрморт «Сніданок») та ін.

Графічна збірка Аркадія Алфьорова принесла безліч оригінальних аркушів західноєвропейських майстрів, серед котрих і графічні шедеври Луки Лейденського, Альбрехта Дюрера, Франческо Парміджаніно, Пітера Молейна, Яна ван Гойєна, Бертеля Торвальдсена. Голландський відділок колекції А. Алфьорова став найвизначнішим на землях України.

Західноєвропейську невелику частину збережених картин нині репрезентують —

 Тімотео делла Вітті
 Доменіко Пуліго
 П'єтро да Кортона
 Йоос ван Клеве
 Сальватор Роза або його послідовник
 Йоахим Патінір або його послідовник
 Андреа Саккі
 Гвідо Рені
 Лодовіко Маццоліно
 Франческо Фуріні
 Бартоломео Манфреді
 Лівіо Мехус
 Джованні Франческо Каротто
 Ян ван Скорель
 Фердинанд Боль
 Отто Марсеус ван Скрик Метелики та ящірка
 Віллем Дейстер
 Симон де Влігер
 Александр Адріансен
 Альберт Кейп
 Ян ван Гойєн
 Ханс ван Санта
 Монограміст NHS, натюрморт Сніданок
 Анонім 17 ст., натюрморт жанру Ванітас
 Есайяс ван де Велде
 Гіллс ван Тільборх
 Ніколя де Ларжильєр
 Клаас Моленар

Вже 1858 року був оприлюднений перший каталог художніх колекцій.

Твори мистецтва Країн Далекого Сходу
Доля і шанувальники художнього музея подбали про універсальність колекцій. Так, професор харківського університету А.Краснов створив подорож до низки країн Азії та придбав твори мистецтва Індії, Китаю, Тибету ще на зламі 19-20 ст. Вагомим додатком до цих колекцій стала збірка М. Пассека, генерального консула в Ірані.

Приємною подією стало ще одна звістка до 200-річчя колекції народний депутат України О.Фельдман подарував зібрання японських нецке і орігамі (мініатюрних скульптур Японії трохи більших за розміри нецке .

Кількісно колекція на початок 21 ст. не досягає і половини тих збірок, що мав музей до років другої світової війни.

Нові атрибуції

 Дослідження останнього періоду принесли і нові артибуції. Перегляд і вивчення графічної колекції Альбрехта Дюрера принесло звістку, що там опинились і копії, створені італійським гравером Маркантоніо Раймонді. Так кількість гравюр Альбрехта Дюрера в музеї трохи зменшилась, але додалося ім'я ще одного італійського майстра.
 Реставрація «Пейзажа» з підписом Пітера Брейгеля молодшого, принесла сюрприз, підпис виявився фальшивим, аби продати картину якамога дорожче. Нове дослідження дозволило віднести картину до творів Есайяса ван де Вельде (1590-1630).
 Серед нових за часом надходжень - подарована картина, корту віднесли до творів фламандського майстра Гілліса ван Тильборха ( бл. 1625 - бл. 1678).

Незвротні втрати музея в роки другої світової війни

 Вся колекція творів мистецтва Староданього Єгипту.
 Майже вся колекція живопису Івана Бецького, з п'ятсот сорока трьох (543) картин на початок 21 сторіччя залишилось лише десять (10) картин.
 Колекція творів країн Далекого Сходу (що не вивезли у евакуацію), позаяк колекції Харківського музея не були внесені до евакуйованих речей, тому не підлягали евакуації до Сибіру за планом У СРСР.
 За припущеннями художником С.І.Васильківським було виконано живописний повтор розписів будинку Полтавського земства в палаці Ігнатищева: «Чумацький Ромоданівський шлях», «Козак Голота», «Обрання полковником Мартина Пушкаря», але всі стінописиписи з часом було втрачено.
 В залі західноєвропейського живопису повністю втрачено колишній живописний плафон на стелі.
 В теперішньому фондосховищі (колишня їдальня Ігнатищевих) повністю втрачені дерев'яні панелі, шовк над ними, металевий фриз, на стелі був ліплений декор.

Філії Харківського художнього музея

Кожний художній музей України стикається з проблемою збільшення власних запасних та виставкових площ. Прибудови до основного приміщення музея часто абсолютно неможливі, особливо коли споруда музея розташована в історичній ділянці міста. Виходом зі скрутного становища стає створення філій. Має власні філії і Харківський художній музей.

Our Pennsylvania poll this week found Bob Casey's approval rating in negative territory at 31% approving and 38% disapproving of his job performance. That's yet another data point suggesting a very tough cycle for Democrats on the Senate front in 2012. Last week we found Claire McCaskill at 38/51 in Missouri, two weeks ago we found Sherrod Brown at 32/39 in Ohio, and four weeks ago we found Bill Nelson at 37/40 in Florida. In New Jersey and Virginia polling last fall we found Bob Menendez at 34/45, and although we found Jim Webb in positive territory we also found him losing a hypothetical contest to George Allen.
Do all these upside down approval numbers mean these folks are going to lose? Not necessarily- this may be a low water point for Democrats and things could be completely different by 2012. What the data does suggest is that few of these folks are going to coast to reelection- they may win but they're going to have to fight pretty hard for it.
That's a big contrast from the Republican Senate class of 2004. Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, Tom Coburn, Johnny Isakson, and Jim DeMint are all coasting to reelection now after first being elected then with only David Vitter and Richard Burr facing serious opposition.
Democrats really need to cut their losses this year because it is not going to be a favorable playing field the next time around.
Bill Nelson has done little for the citizens of Florida other than take a ride on the space shuttle. His lack of leadership on the Health Care debate only reinforced this. The polling in Florida was overwhelmingly opposed to ObamaCare and Senator Nelson thumbed his nose at his constituents.
People will remember this in 2012.
I really don't think this means much. EVERYONE's approval ratings are in the toilet right now due to the economy. And with nearly ALL the Democrats' vulnerable seats (except Nebraska) in swing states, these guys will all sink or swim with Obama. If he wins a comfortable reelection, all or nearly all will win reelection. If he loses or only barely wins reelection, several will lose their seats.
Those who increase government spending and regulation will be unpopular. Those who resist spending increases and regulatory burdens will be popular.
It's not the economy that is dragging down the Democrats, it's their economic policies.
A runoff in North Carolina?

Q: Should socket connection stay open and do they require admin rights? I'm new to sockets and have a couple of questions on their usage in .NET. This is a consumer program so there won't be any scaling issues as the user runs the server and client.
1) Is it better to keep a socket connection open until the server is closed, or should I open a connection only when the user requests it and close it upon completion? It's not a real time game so requests would be intermittent, but are there any downsides to leaving the socket connection open?
2) Do sockets require the user to have admin rights if they're running the server? I looked around and it seemed that RAW sockets do, but I plan on using Stream or Dgram instead depending on which works best for my program.

A: *

*If you're talking about a single socket then no it's not a big deal
to leave it open. There are lots of ports available and if your
socket is just sitting in a wait state it's going to consume a
negligible amount of system resources.

*TCP and UDP socket connections do not require admin rights to open.
However, depending on the user's firewall settings a firewall
exception may be required to allow your application to make an
outside connection and depending on the firewall software that may
or may not require admin rights.

Fearless Females: Catalyntje Trico, wife of Joris de Rapalje of New Amsterdam
Thanks to Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog for providing the writing prompts & inspiration: Fearless Females: 31 Blogging Prompts to Celebrate Women's History Month.
Much has already been written about Catalyntje Jeronimus Trico and her husband, Joris Jansen de Rapalje, who were some of the first settlers in New Netherlands. And I am certain that many,many people in the United States are descended from this couple. So I can't claim her as mine solely. But I do believe that she deserves to be recognized as a true "Fearless Female".
Catalyntje & her husband Joris were married Jan 21, 1624 in the Walloon Church of Amsterdam, just before emigrating to New Netherlands. They were from Huguenot families who had fled from France and settled in the Netherlands. It is difficult to understand how they could be convinced to leave the safety, cleanliness & religious tolerance of the Netherlands--which was considered one of the most desirable places to live in the 1600s. But despite that, Catalyntje & Joris chose to leave the relative comfort of Amsterdam and emigrate.
After what must have been a grueling voyage on the ship "Unity" from the Netherlands to the New World, Catalyntje & Joris were first settled at the primitive and remote Fort Orange (now Albany, NY). However, in 1626, the Dutch authorities abandoned Fort Orange (it would be resettled later) and relocated all Dutch settlers to Fort Amsterdam, on the south end of the island of Manhattan. Catalyntje & Joris built a house on Pearl St, near the fort, and lived there for many years. In 1636 Joris purchased land in what is now Brooklyn, and his son-in-law, Hans Hansen Bergen, secured the parcel next door. Catalyntje & Joris lived in the area that became Brooklyn until their deaths.
Life in New Amsterdam must have been very challenging, especially early on. It was an incredibly lawless place, full of drunkeness, licentiousness, & criminal activity. It's difficult to believe that anyone would find it a suitable place to raise a family. But that is exactly what Catalyntje & Joris did. They had eleven children. I descend from two of the daughters: Sarah, their eldest, who married Hans Hansen Bergen, and Judith who married Pieter Pietersen Van Nest. Both are ancestors of my grandfather Alonzo Cox Huber.
The most amazing thing about Catalyntje Trico de Rapalje is that, in an era and place where people did not expect to live long, she survived to a ripe old age of 84, and according to depositions of the time, still had a strong mind and heart long into her later years.

Fearless Females: Brick Walls & Mystery Women in My Family Tree
There are so many mystery women in family tree. I wrote about several of them in both 2009 and 2010, and--for the most part-- those women have remained mysteries despite all my best efforts. I am constantly searching for clues--any clues whatsoever--that might help me find maiden names, marriage records, parents' names, census records and more. Here is a link to 2010's blog post listing several of them: Fearless Females: Mystery Women in My Family Tree
And here is a list of even more female "brick walls" for 2011:
RACHEL BAREE (aka Barre, Barry, Berry, Baryea, etc). She was born about 1730-1740 in New York (not sure exact location) and married JEREMIAH MARTINE, and they settled in Haverstraw, Orange Co NY. She may have had a sister Susanna Baree/Barre who married William Felter in Clarkstown, Rockland/Orange Co NY; RACHEL named a daugher Susannah/Susanna. Her father's name may have been "Isaac" or "Abraham" as those two first names did not appear in previous generation of the Martine family.
CHARITY, wife of JAMES PALMER, born April 20, 1731 (birthdate unverified by me) probably New York or Fairfield Co CT. JAMES PALMER was of Greenwich, Fairfield Co CT, but moved to Dutchess Co NY sometime after 1756. One of their eldest sons was GABRIEL PALMER b abt 1752 who married ABIGAIL LOUNSBURY, my great X 5 grandparents, who named a son HANMER PALMER b abt 1778 Fairfield Co CT. This is the only clue I have been able to glean, so far. Clearly HANMER PALMER was named with the surname of a relative, and it wasn't from his mother ABIGAIL LOUNSBURY's family! It is possible that CHARITY was somehow descended from GABRIEL LUDLOW b 1697 who married SARAH HANMER, daughter of Rev JOSEPH HANMER of New York. But how? and who? There were no Hanmers or Ludlows living in Fairfield Co CT during the time period.
MAGDALENA, born about 1750 PA or Germany, the wife of JACOB HUBER Sr. JACOB died Oct 8, 1803 in Berlin, Brother's Valley twp, Somerset Co PA according to his will. He left his wife well-off, with land, a house in the town, and household goods. Only one son, WILLIAM/WILHELM HUBER is listed in the will--although baptism records show there were indeed several other children. I have not been able to trace this couple previous to 1797, when they arrived in Brother's Valley twp, Somerset Co (then Bedford Co), PA (according to church records). MAGDALENA is a complete mystery. (she is not, by the way, MAGDALENA SCHOLL who married JACOB HUBER of Milford twp, Bucks Co PA. They are a completely different couple).
TRYPHENA FISHER (aka Trufener, Triffinah, etc) born about 1737 in Ireland? Delaware? Maryland?
She married CURTIS OTWELL Sr and died in Sussex Co DE. She was supposedly the daughter of HENRY FISHER, and they were likely Quakers. Ann M Frazier Way, a descendent, wrote a letter in 1898 that listed all children & spouses; the letter indicated that CURTIS OTWELL and his wife TRYPHENA FISHER were from Ireland. But many other sources & records connect CURTIS OTWELL with an Otwell family from England that lived for several generations in Jamestown VA, MD & DE. TRYPHEN is listed as "Trufener" on her husband's 1779 Sussex Co DE will; children are mentioned but not listed. At least two of the children of TRYPHENA FISHER & CURTIS OTWELL Sr married Quakers and/or joined the Quaker church.
According to Ed Brezenger, TRIFFINAH OTWELL (likely the widowed wife of CURTIS OTWELL) is listed in the 1790 Northwest Fork Hundred, Delaware census. I have not yet seen this record myself. Another source I found indicates that the 1790 Delaware census was destroyed in the war of 1812. So now I am very confused.
ELIZABETH McLEAN born April 7, 1748 in County Down, Ulster Province, N Ireland; married on June 1, 1762 in N Ireland (exact location unknown) PATRICK McDONALD who was born March 17, 1727/1728 in Invernesshire, Scotland. This couple settled in Douglas twp, Hants Co, Nova Scotia, Canada. The source for this information is the book, "Rawdon & Douglas: Two Loyalist Townships in Nova Scotia" by John V Duncanson. ELIZABETH died Nov 3, 1796, Upper Kennetcook, Hants Co, Nova Scotia, Canada. I have a lot of facts--birth, death, marriage--but no information on her parents.
ELIZABETH TOAL (aka Tole, O'Toole, Toole) born 1730-1740 in probably Ulster Province, N Ireland; married sometime after 1755 JOHN RINES Sr (aka Ranes, Rhines, etc), who was from Corn Hill (Truro), Barnstable Co MA. JOHN was conscripted in the British Army and was a soldier at the time of the expulsion of the French Acadians from Nova Scotia. He decided to settle in Hants Co Nova Scotia, rather than return to Massachusetts. The source for this information is the book, "Rawdon & Douglas: Two Loyalist Townships in Nova Scotia" by John V Duncanson, and several other historical references. Unfortunately I have never been able to trace ELIZABETH previous to her marriage to JOHN RINES Sr.

John F Martine, My Great Great Grandfather--NOT John Albert Martine who married Mary Buttencarrier
The is my great great grandfather, JOHN F MARTINE born June 15, 1831 Spencerport, Ogden twp, Monroe Co NY, who married Mary Ann Scofield--NOT "John Albert Martine" who married "Mary Buttencarrier", and had a son Jacob Martine who married Margaret Alvina Grandstaff.
Actually the parents of Jacob Martine who married Margaret Alvina Grandstaff were JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE born Nov 30, 1830 Strasbourg, Alsace, France; and MARIA ANNA (Mary Ann) BORDENKIRCHER born abt 1830 France. JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE died April 17, 1905 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Mary Ann Bordenkircher Martine died March 8, 1875 in Otoe Co, Nebraska.
The above photo of JOHN F MARTINE is a copy of an original that belongs to my family. As I said in my last blog post, it has been appropriated by someone, given a new identity as John Albert Martine, and added to their Ancestry.com public family tree without my consent. So far the person has refused to remove the photo, and has blocked my messages.
Here is a marriage affidavit from JOHN F MARTINE's Civil War Pension file, showing his wife and all his children. JOHN F MARTINE did not have a son named Jacob Martine.
Here is a birth affidavit from JOHN F MARTINE's Civil War Pension file, upon his application to the Old Soldier's Home in Orting, Pierce Co, WA in 1906.
Here is the 1860 census for JOHN F MARTINE Yorkville, Racine Co WI. It lists his wife, and two of his children, Charles Albert Martine & Ida K Martine (bottom of the page). He did not have a son named Jacob Martine born 1856.
In 1860 JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE and his wife MARY ANN BORDENKIRCHER lived in Coshocton Co Ohio. His surname was mistakenly transcribed as MARTIN. His son JACOB MARTINE who married MARGARET ALVINA GRANDSTAFF is listed on the 2nd page.
And here is a biography of JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE b Nov 30, 1830 Strasbourg France
From "Portrait and Biographical Album of Otoe and Cass Counties, Nebraska", Volume I, 1889:
Capt. John Martine, who has hosts of friends in Otoe Precinct, is the subject of a very interesting history, and a man who has fought his way through many difficulties to a good position among his fellow-citizens, socially and financially. He owns and operates a good farm of 160 acres, comprising the southwest quarter of section 16. He has distinguished himself as a patriot and a soldier, having ample right to his title as Captain, which was obtained through his military service in the Union Army.
The Martine (formerly La Martine) family is of French descent, and allied to the nobility of fair France. The father of our subject, Adam Martine, was of French birth and ancestry, a native of Alsace, which was then Lorraine; he married Miss Catherine Glodney, who was born in the same Province. They were the parents of nine children, six of whom died in infancy; the living are: Our subject, Michael and George. The parents, in the year 1835, emigrated to America, settling in Philadelphia, and later went to Ohio; there the father was prospered in his labors as an agriculturist, and accumulated a fine property. He rested from his earthly labors in the year 1868, at the age of seventy-six years and five months. The mother survived her husband a period of eight years, her death taking place in 1876, when she was eighty-one years old; she, like her husband, was of noble birth. Our subject's brother, Michael and George, are both residents of Coshocton County, Ohio, and have large families, and are in good circumstances.
Capt. Martine was born near the city of Strasburg, in the Province of Alsace Lorraine, France, Nov. 30, 1830, but when brought to America was too young to have retained any recollection of his native place. He grew up on the farm in Ohio, although he had begun his education in the city schools of Philadelphia. After the removal of the family to Ohio, where they were among the early pioneers, young Martine was obliged to travel three miles through the woods, climbing over logs three or four feet in diameter, through bush and bramble, to reach the temple of learning. Limited as his opportunities were, however, he appreciated them and kept his place at the head of his class. When not in school his services were utilitized around the homestead, where he remained until his marriage, Aug. 30, 1852. The lady who at that time became the wife of our subject was Miss Mary Ann Bordenkarker, who was also of French birth and parentage, and by whom he became the father of six children. They lived upon a farm in Lyndon Township, Coshocton Co., Ohio, until the outbreak of the Civil War. Before his enlistment the Captain went to Corinth, Miss., to take care of a brother-in-law who was dangerously ill, but who died before he could reach him. Immediately upon his return home, his sympathies being now doubly enlisted in the cause of the Union, he assisted in the organization of a company made up mostly from the young men and boys of his own neighborhood, with whom he had previously drilled. This was Company C, and was part of the 80th Ohio Infantry. He went with them to the front, but at Corinth was taken seriously ill, and obliged to accept his honorable discharge. He did not by any means, however, intend to give up the fight, and as soon as his health would permit he left his sick bed and organized Company K of the 1st Ohio Militia, and of which he was elected Captain, receiving a five-years commission from Gov. Todd, then Governor of Ohio. He participated in the efforts made to capture Morgan while on his raid through Ohio, after that did guard duty in different parts of the State, and the regiment was subsequently disbanded.
After the close of the war Capt. Martine removed with his family, in September, 1865, to Brown County, Ill., but staid there only about two years, next crossing the Mississippi and settling in Nebraska City. Here our subject was Superintendent of a section of the Council Bluffs & St. Joseph's Railroad, which was then in process of construction. Later he had the supervision of a company of men working in the Summit cut on the Midland Pacific. In the year 1868 he purchased the land which he now owns and occupies, and thereafter gave his attention to it. Here the wife and mother died, at the age of forty years, March 8, 1875. The six children of this marriage were names respectively: John, Jr.; George, Maria, Jacob, Maude Lena and Ella. John married Miss Rosa Morgan, is farming in the vicinity of Syracuse and is the father of two children; George married Miss L. Anderson, lives on a farm in Otoe Precinct, and has three children -- George, Lena and Joseph; Maria is the wife of Benjamin Griffin, of Buffalo County, and the mother of three children; Maude Lena married James White, of this county, lives on a farm in Russell Precinct, and is the mother of three children; Ella married Otis Brown, is a resident of Otoe Precinct and the mother of three children -- Howard, Dessie and John; Jacob is married, and farming in Custer County, this state.
Capt. Martine, on the 12th of May, 1876, contracted a second marriage, with Miss Lucy Scherrer, a native of Baden, Germany, and who became the mother of three children, only one of whom is living, a daughter, Mary, who resides with her father at home. Mrs. Lucy Martine departed this life at her home in Otoe Precinct, Nov. 8, 1880, aged thirty-seven years. Capt. Martine, Aug. 16, 1883, was married to Mrs. Elizabeth High, nee Schuster, who was born in Prussia, Sept. 17, 1836, and came to the United States in 1882. She is the mother of one child, a daughter, Katie, who is now in school. The captain also has an adopted son, Frank Fuller, now fourteen years of age, and living with them.
The principles of the Democratic party have usually been the exponent of the political opinions of Capt. Martine, although he refuses to be controlled by party lines, and votes for the men whom he considers best qualified for the office. He has never desired official honors, and with the exception of serving as School Director one term, has steadily declined holding office in Nebraska. While a resident of Coshocton County, Ohio, he served as Justice of the Peace and Assessor, and was continuously in office of some kind until entering the army. He prefers now to relegate its duties and responsibilities to other men. Both he and his excellent wife are members in good standing of the Catholic Church at Nebraska City.
Clearly JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE and JOHN F MARTINE are two different people. My great great grandfather JOHN F MARTINE never lived in Ohio or Nebraska. He did not have a son name Jacob Martine who married Margaret Alvina Grandstaff. My John F Martine served in the Civil War in the 2nd Wisconsin Cavalry, Company G, as per his pension records, and NOT in the 80th Ohio Infantry, Company C, or the 1st Ohio Militia, Company K, as did JOHN C MORTINE / MARTINE.
I am posting these records in the hopes that the person who appropriated my gg grandfather's photo will find them, see their mistake, and remove the photo of my gg grandfather JOHN F MARTINE from their Ancestry.com public tree.

My Great Great Grandfather Suddenly Has a New Identity......
This is a photo of my great great grandfather JOHN F MARTINE. The photo is a copy of an original that was sent to me by a relative.
While browsing public family trees on Ancestry.com, I discovered that someone had appropriated this photo of my gg grandfather and had given him a new identity "JOHN ALBERT MARTINE", as well as five wives and numerous children, none of them correct. They also "borrowed" all of my research including birth and death dates and attached census records.
Clearly the person merged and combined several Ancestry.com public family trees, including mine. Besides all my attached census records, which are correct for JOHN F MARTINE, this person has my gg grandfather living in Bromley, Middlesex England in 1861, Cmudu, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1890, and Hillsborough, Somerset Co NJ in 1900.
At this point I don't know whether or not the photo was intentionally attached to the family tree, but the person has so far refused to remove it. Their only excuse was that they are "new to this", and that I need to "back off". And now they have blocked my emails, so I can't inform them that I actually found their correct ancestor.
Here is a link to the erroneous Ancestry.com public family tree:
JOHN ALBERT MARTINE
Note 3/19/2011: The person has removed the photo from his/her online family tree, so I have removed the link.
And here is a link to the "correct" ancestor of the owner of the erroneous Ancestry.com public tree.
JOHN C MORTINE/MARTINE
Using the information on this person's family tree, I found their correct Martine ancestor in about two minutes. If the person had even tried to do some research, they too would have found that my great great grandfather was not the same person as their ancestor John C Mortine/Martine, who was born in Strasbourg, France.
Here is the correct information for my great great grandfather JOHN F MARTINE, the man in the photo:
Born June 15, 1831 Spencerport, Ogden twp, Monroe Co NY
Died Jan 30, 1907 Old Soldier's Home, Orting, Pierce Co WA
Married April 12, 1851 Racine Co WI to MARY ANN SCOFIELD, as per copy of original marriage record & Civil War Pension Record. MARY ANN SCOFIELD was the daughter of CHARLES SCOFIELD & SALLY ANN HOYT DIBBLE.
JOHN F MARTINE Fought in Civil War 2nd WI Cavalry Co G, rank Corporal. Disabled & discharged by May 1862, as per numerous sources, including his Civil War Pension Record.
--CHARLES ALBERT MARTINE born April 12, 1854 Yorkville, Racine Co WI m Alice Miller (my great grandparents)
--IDA K MARTINE born June 24, 1857 Yorkville, Racine Co WI m James Myers
--MINNIE LUCINDA MARTINE b Aug 16, 1869 Hardin Co Iowa m 1st) William Clifton 2nd) Joseph Rainford; died Everson, Whatcom Co WA
--JOHN EDSON MARTINE b Jan 10, 1875 Kansas City, MO m (late in life) Pearl unknown in Everson, Whatcom Co WA
Census records:
--1850 Monroe Co NY Spencerport, Ogden twp census age 19 with his sister Rachel Martine age 34 only (parents both deceased)
--1860 Racine Co WI census with wife Mary Ann and children, near father in law Charles Scofield
--1870 Hardin Co Iowa census, Etna twp, town of Eldora with wife Mary Ann and children, surname incorrectly written listed as "Morten"; occupation, drayman.
--1880 Livingston Co MO census, town of Chillicothe with wife Mary Ann and children, next door to daughter Ida and son in law James Myers.
I have not been able to find JOHN F MARTINE in the 1900 census, but his Civil War Pension record shows that he & his wife were living in Kansas City, MO until the late 1890s, before moving to Whatcom Co WA to be near their daughter Minnie.
Here is a photo of JOHN F MARTINE's tombstone in the Old Soldier's Cemetery, Orting, Pierce Co WA.

Fearless Females March 4, 2011: Marriage Records for Grandparents & Great Grandparens
Thanks to Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog for providing the inspiration: Fearless Females: 31 Blogging Prompts to Celebrate Women's History Month.
I am fortunate to have marriage records for both sets of grandparents, and for three out of four sets of great grandparents. While I don't have any stories about the weddings, I do have a few facts about the couples, gleaned from various sources.
My maternal grandparents RUBY BOLTON BROWN & R B MARTINE were married April 6, 1915 in Seattle WA. They moved to San Francisco CA in 1921, and lived there until the 1950s, when they returned to the Seattle area. I have written many blog posts about my adventurous grandmother Ruby!!
My paternal grandparents MINTTIE MAE BRUTON & ALONZO COX HUBER were married July 6, 1901 in McCracken, Christian Co MO. They moved to Marshall Co Iowa by 1905, raised a family of ten children, and lived in Iowa the rest of their lives.
My maternal great grandparents MARY ETTA KENNEDY & FRANK R BROWN were married July 2, 1878 in Aurora, Esmerelda Co NV. They were living in Bodie, Mono Co CA, about 15 miles away from the town of Aurora, but at that time, there wasn't a justice of the peace in Bodie. Both are ghost towns now. By 1887, Frank R Brown was living on remote Unga Island in Alaska. His wife & daughter joined him in 1888, and the family lived there until 1904, when they moved to San Francisco. Mary Etta died there at age 49, in 1907. The family lived in San Francisco at the time of the great 1906 earthquake.
My maternal great grandparents ALICE MILLER & CHARLES ALBERT MARTINE are the only couple for whom I don't have an actual marriage record. However, I do know they were married 1880 in Clinton Co MO, probably at the home of ALICE's sister, MARY ELLIS MILLER who married JOHN WILSON. Alice & Charles lived in the town of Chillicothe, Livingston Co MO at the time of the 1880 census. They moved around a great deal during their marriage! By 1884 they lived in Alburquerque, New Mexico. By 1886 they lived in Wyandott, Kansas. By 1887 They lived in Kansas City, Kansas. By 1893 they lived in Yamhill Co, Oregon. By 1897 they lived in Seattle, WA. By 1905 they lived in Stanwood, Snohomish Co WA. By 1920 they were back in Seattle WA. All of this moving around could not have been easy on Alice or their five children!!
My paternal great grandparents CAROLINE AMELIA "CRAMELIA" FRAZIER & PHILLIP L HUBER were married Nov 17, 1869 in Thorntown, Boone Co IN. In the 1870 census, Phillip & Cramelia were living next door to Phillip's mother CATHERINE (SHRIVER) HUBER in Sugar Creek twp, Montgomery Co IN. By 1880 they had moved to Bangor, Marshall Co Iowa, where Cramelia's mother, Nancy (Van Arsdale) Frazier, lived. Phillip L Huber disappeared without a trace sometime between 1880 and 1885, leaving Cramelia to raise their three children alone.
My paternal great grandparents SILOAMA K WHITECOTTON & BENJAMIN B BRUTON were married Nov 8, 1875 in Christian Co MO, Rev Jacob Burkhart presiding. Benjamin B Bruton was a newly ordained Baptist minister at the time of their marriage, and would eventually become a school teacher in Christian Co MO. He also wrote numerous tracts, presided over several congregations and performed over at least twenty marriages in Christian Co MO. Siloama preceded him in death by over twenty years.

MTD to steer clear of Country Fair for now
By Tom Kacich tkacich@news-gazette.com
Tom Kacich
Listen to this article
CHAMPAIGN — It may be some time, if ever, before Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District buses and riders are able to again use the transfer area at the Country Fair Shopping Center in west Champaign.
The transfer area, used by about 1,500 riders daily on eight MTD routes, was closed May 24 in a dispute over roadway and parking-lot maintenance.
Passengers who had been using the Country Fair transfer area now have to use a temporary site about two blocks south on Round Barn Road.
"I am moving forward with a few possible outcomes," said Karl Gnadt, managing director of the MTD. "One is to continue the conversation with the owner of Country Fair. One is that I'm in the midst of conversation with one of the owners of Round Barn (shopping center on Springfield Avenue). And I am talking to the city about other alternatives."
The "central issue," Gnadt said, "is maintenance of the parking lot."
Carl Webber, attorney for Country Fair's owner, Cleveland-based GMS Management Co. of Illinois, said repairs have been needed to the center's parking lot and bus transfer area "for some time."
"Recently, the city gave owners notice that (GMS) would have to repair several areas in the parking lot. The owners found that the cost of repair is substantially different if on the one hand you're anticipating a number of buses each day versus merely anticipating some cars and a few delivery trucks," Webber said. "In fact, there are approximately 330 buses that go across Country Fair every weekday.
"The wear and tear on pavement from vehicles of that weight, especially if they have a number of passengers and are full of gas, really does take a toll on the pavement."
And the difference between bringing the pavement up to ordinary standards and to allow for bus use was substantial, he said.
"It became a question of expense, really, and there didn't seem to be any immediate resolution, although I think both sides tried to come up with an answer. The difference in cost is just quite large," Webber said.
There was some discussion of "cost-sharing," he said, "but at the level of the cost of doing that, it became very difficult. It is a substantial amount of money."
Asked if the new arrangement is permanent and whether buses no longer would be allowed at Country Fair, Webber said, "They made a suggestion, and Country Fair made a suggestion, and they're not really too close. We're certainly willing to talk to them some more, but I think the issue of negotiations ought to be left to the parties."
Said Gnadt: "We are still talking to a representative for the owner, so there are still some negotiations going on."
In a memo to MTD board members last month, Gnadt wrote that the "main point of discussion is segregation of duties."
"The duty of MTD is to provide public transit services to the community, and it is the duty of cities, villages and private landowners to maintain their roadways. In turn, when we operate on private property, we bring employees and customers to the business center."
Meanwhile, Gnadt said that the MTD is "getting a lot of feedback" about the loss of the Country Fair transfer area.
"Some of it is that it's a change. But some of it is that it actually is an inconvenience for people," he said. "I got a call from a lady who is 88 years old, and she shops at Ruler Foods and Dollar General. She'd come in on the bus, do her shopping and then she could walk to the Country Fair stop and go home.
"Now, she has to get off on Springfield, walk across the parking lot, which a pretty good distance for an 88-year-old. And then she had to walk to Springfield or to Round Barn Drive. That's just too far for her, and she can't do it. This is a life-changing situation for her. That's the kind of thing we're struggling with — how to help someone who is in that situation."

About technology, travel and lifestyle, by Tom Worthington.
A Perilous World
New Theatre's production of "The Chapel Perilous" by Dorothy Hewett requires stamina from the audience but is rewarding. This autobiographical work looks at a brilliant but rebellious youth growing up in a world at war, at war with herself and the society which tries to constrain her.
Julia Christensen as Sally Banner is center stage for almost two hours, raging against the system. Brett Heath transforms from the hellfire spitting lascivious Cannon to Sally's father very convincingly (although I kept thinking he looked like Clive James, an Australian poet and atheist who fitted more comfortably in the system).
Costume designer Courtney Westbrook has brought an understated wartime feel to the production.
The set is dominated by a large luminous chevron, which acts as the "Chapel" and at times apparently the entry to hell.
All the actors give an energetic performance, perhaps at times a little over energetic. At times is is disturbing, as the playwright intended. However, some parts have dated. A fantasy scene where the authority figures burst into song is a bit too "Singing Detective". The references to Le Morte d'Arthur
and The Iliad show the playwright showing off their classical education. Also Parry's Jerusalem seems to crop up in New Theatre productions.
The New Theatre is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. But perhaps it need to look to the future and contemporary issues, not just the last century. With the world perhaps on the brink of a third world war, starting in East Asia, there is scope for New Theatre to draw lessons from 85 years ago for today.

In previous articles from Gerard Malouf and Partners we have mentioned that workers compensation insurers generally pay high amounts in workers compensation claims. There is a misconception that compensation amounts in workers compensation claims are very limited and insignificant. However, at Gerard Malouf & Partners we realise that there is a number of various opportunities for compensation available to injured workers. The combined payments of compensation will reach significant amounts.
This particular individual was not only able to receive a significant amount in compensation, he did so despite the fact that he did not necessarily have a great working track record and was not a high income earner. Further, he had a pre-existing right knee injury, which was the body region that was injured at work during the course of his employment when he fell off a ladder.
Despite the fact that he had a previous right knee injury, the aggravation was significant enough that the insurer had no obligation but to accept liability for all his statutory entitlements. The insurer paid all his related medical expenses and travelling expenses when attending medical appointments or examinations. They also paid for rehabilitation and contributed towards weekly compensation payments during his extensive period of incapacity. Added to that, the insurer also provided funding for our client to participate in a course as part of retraining. The cost of the retraining course was over $7,000 and upon completion it provided an opportunity for our client to re-enter the workforce in a different and more suitable role as a graphic designer.
In addition to these statutory entitlements of which our client had received, Gerard Malouf & Partners finalised an impairment lump sum claim, ensuring that our client receive further monetary compensation and this was in excess of $30,000.
As this labourer had satisfied the threshold requirement of 15% Whole Person Impairment (WPI) we were able at Gerard Malouf & Partners to investigate a common law claim on his behalf. Of course, in common law proceedings we are required to prove that the employer was negligent, which had led to the injury. Although it appeared that our client's own inattention contributed to his fall from the ladder, we pleaded that there should have been a safer system of work, which would have avoided this injury. Nevertheless, the insurer's legal representative continued to defend the claim quite vigorously.
In order to have this matter resolved, a mediation had been organised and despite our best efforts, the claim did not settle at mediation.
Although the claim had not settled at mediation, the parties continued to negotiate. At GMP Lawyers we proceeded with ongoing negotiations with the defendant's legal representative whilst at the same time providing our client with ongoing advice and seeking his instructions for exchanges of offers. Eventually, the common law claim resolved around $250,000, to the great satisfaction of our client.
Despite the fact that our client had not displayed a great work history and also despite that there was an arguable case that he was a big contributor to his own fall, the claim resolved for a significant amount as mentioned above.
The total compensation paid by the insurer was around $550,000.00. This included payments made to him, both in relation to his statutory workers compensation entitlements and common law rights.
The particular claim for this individual had various challenges. Firstly, the injury sustained was to his right knee where there was a pre-existing problem. Further, it was arguable that our client's own inattention contributed partly to the fall from the ladder and finally pay records showed an inconsistent work history. Despite the deficiencies in the case, we at Gerard Malouf & Partners were able to reap the maximum compensation for him, including payments for a retraining course and also lump sum amounts for his impairment and common law rights. It all came down to proper understanding of the processes and astute preparation.

Beljanski Wellness Center Announces Appointment of Holistic Physician Dr. Moshe Dekel
NEW YORK – The Beljanski Wellness Center, opening in Manhattan in March 2009, announces the addition of Dr. Moshe Dekel, OB/GYN, to the center. Dr. Dekel is certified in holistic modalities of chelation, ultraviolet blood irradiation and ozone therapy. At the Beljanski Wellness Center, Dr. Dekel will provide medical consultations and oversee all medical treatments, including colonics, chelation, breast thermography, Quantum biofeedback, age management therapy, and bio-identical hormone placement therapy for both men and women.
Former Chief of Gynecological Surgery at the Long Island Surgi-Center, Dr. Dekel stopped performing surgeries and deliveries in 2000 to focus his efforts in helping patients achieve better health through holistic modalities, such as functional medicine, bio-identical hormones, nutritional counseling and nutritional supplementation.
At the Beljanski Wellness Center, the first wellness center in America focused entirely on an integrative approach to comprehensive detoxification, Dr. Dekel will focus on colonics and chelation therapies. Chelation therapy is the processes of removing heavy metals (such as lead, arsenic or mercury) from the body, after appropriate testing shows an increased total body burden of heavy metals.
Dr. Dekel will also be overseeing breast thermography, a diagnostic procedure he introduced to Long Island in 2003. Breast thermography is a non-invasive, non-compression or radiation procedure that uses highly specialized infrared cameras to measure the heat emanating from the breast to detect an increased risk for developing breast cancer. In comparison to a mammogram, which may increase the risk of cancer due to breast compression and radiation, and can only detect cancer after it has already become dangerous, thermography can detect changes in heat patterns as many as 10 years before a cancerous tumor develops. To date, Dr. Dekel is the only board-certified GYN offering this modality in the northeast United States.
Dr. Dekel will also be available for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and consultations to assess male health performance. Dr. Dekel utilizes functional medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy when appropriate for male health conditions such as "andropause." Andropause, "male menopause," or partial androgen deficiency in the aging male, causes a decline in sexuality, muscle mass, mood and overall energy. It can also sometimes expose men to more serious health risks. At the Beljanski Wellness Center, Dr. Dekel will provide consultations and treatment when appropriate.
Biofeedback, which uses the mind/body connection for therapeutic purposes to reduce anxiety, control blood pressure, combat chronic insomnia and fatigue, will also be available at the Beljanski Wellness Center. In 2006, Dr. Dekel was the first to introduce the "SCIO", a computerized bio-feed back device designed to reduce stress, which has an important role in every disease process.
Additionally, Dr. Dekel will hold consultations to discuss age management therapies and nutrition. Dr. Dekel's expertise in age management medicine stems from his investigation into a new approach that promotes the prevention and optimization of the hormones that control and regulate the human body and its health.
Dr. Dekel is known for his approach to healthy fat loss, which uses a state of the art Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) machine to ensure that weight loss is actually fat loss, rather than lean muscle loss.
During his 27 years in practice, in addition to serving as Chief of GYN Surgery at the Long Island Surgi-Center, Dr. Dekel was also the Medical Director of the Long Island Birthing Center and one of the founding members of MDNY, New York's only doctor owned and operated HMO.
Dr. Dekel graduated at the top of his class at the Bologna University School of Medicine in Italy in 1974. He came to New York in 1975 and, after finishing his internship at the Long Island College Hospital and Residency at the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in Brooklyn, he started a private OB-GYN practice in Long Island. He served for two years as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the OB-GYN department of Stony Brook Hospital in Stony Brook, NY, where he trained in infertility under Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, one of the foremost authorities in in vitro fertilization in the world.
The Beljanski Wellness Center is America's first wellness center focused entirely on an integrative approach to comprehensive detoxification for ultimate health and beauty. It is based on the breakthrough research of the late biochemist/biologist Mirko Beljanski, Ph.D., whose work in France led to discoveries regarding environmental toxins and their effect on DNA. Dr. Beljanski found that there is a change in the DNA of cells when in the presence of carcinogens and other pollutants, and that disease can be fought by targeting this damaged DNA, allowing cells with healthy DNA to thrive.

Top Workplaces in Tampa Bay
Center Academy Named One of the Top Workplaces in Tampa Bay
Center Academy was recently named one of Tampa Bay's Top Work Places 2016 by the Tampa Bay Times. What makes the top workplaces in Tampa Bay award so special to Center Academy is that our own employees nominated us and were surveyed about several topics, including practices and policies. It was their answers that allowed us to be given the honor of being named one of the top places to work. You can see the Center Academy listing in the Tampa Bay Times, where answers from employees on why they appreciate working for our company are listed.
In the Tampa Bay area, nearly 180 employers were nominated by their employees. For a company to be considered for participation, they had to employ at least 50 workers in Florida and be in business for at least a year.
Companies were ranked based on compensation and training, leadership, workplace flexibility and diversity. The rankings were published on TampaBay.com, on April 10 in the Tampa Bay Times, and on April 11 in tbt*.
"The reports are so enriching because the stories come directly from the employees, which gives the readers a pure behind-the-scenes look into these companies," said Chris Tish, Times business editor. "Tampa Bay companies are truly interested in creating productive work environments and engaging employees."

It will still be a while before I manage to get a photo of the only remaining part of the fortifications here at Cunswick....the gatehouse is the last vestige of any medieval defences here, the tower having been demolished over four hundred years ago.
Above. A view of the hall from the top of Scout Scar to the South.
The hall lies about two miles West of Kendal, well and truly off the beaten track, but accessible and viewable from the public footpath that runs to the East of the property. From here, unfortunately, only the more modern house can be seen....the gatehouse is hidden within the farm yard and shielded from view by other outbuildings.
The gatehouse is situated in the building just in front of the modern house in the photo shown here. It consists of a two storey building with a low arched thoroughfare, which, some records show, may have been rebuilt or remodelled. At any cost, the gatehouse probably dates from the late 15th or early 16th century, and possesses a Tudor coat of arms above the external (southern) arch. The Grade II listed status of the gatehouse, states that the possible remains of a garderobe or a stair case can be seen in the thickness of the wall. Dennis R. Periam and John Robinson, in their excellent The Medieval Fortified Buildings of Cumbria, have this as a stair case, built into the South wall. The gatehouse can only be viewed from within the farm yard, and as this is private property I've not been able (or brave enough) to get any photos.
Above. Floorplan of the gatehouse.
The original hall, tower, courtyard and gatehouse were built by the de Leybourne family, and would have been the seat of the family. Indeed, the Leybournes were living here up until 1715, when the hall and the Leybourne estates passed to the crown as forfeiture for their backing of the Jacobite rising. The estates then became the property of Thomas Crowle in 1721, before finally falling into the vast Lowther estates thereafter.
The hall originally sat at the Southern end of a large parked area, existing up until the late 1500's. This park would have included the tarn to the North East, and a small number of rabbit warrens to the North. These are still visible on aerial photos, albeit faintly.
Above. Memorial to the last of the Leybournes, hanging in Kendal Parish church.
The memorial shown above, commemorates John Leybourne, the last of the Leybourne family in these parts of Westmorland. It is to be found just outside the Bellingham Chapel in the Parish church in Kendal, underneath Robert Phillipson's sword and helmet. The Leybourne family suffered as a result of their continued support of the Stewart claim to the throne. They were fined on many occasions and even had lands and estates removed in 1715. In 1583, James Leybourne was executed at Lancaster after refusing to acknowledge the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. It may have been as a consequence of this, that the pele tower was demolished (1582) They Leybourne family were also resident at Skelsmergh Hall to the North of Kendal, another fortified manor with a tower.
The walk that leads you past the farm, can be accessed from a number of places. It can be accessed from the North, from the B5284, Kendal to Windermere road, about five hundred yards from Plumgarth's farm shop, or from the Underbarrow road which runs from the West of Kendal. Both footpaths are signposted Cunswick Scar, and offer great views out over Lyth Valley and the surrounding fells.

But I Have Nothing To Say...
Once you start tweeting you'll be surprised how many people are interested in what you have to say.
As Digital Communications Manager at NHS Improving Quality using our social media and digital channels is how we spread our latest news, publications and events. One of the channels we use is Twitter. Twitter has grown phenomenally in recent times, and people are really beginning to understand that, when used effectively, it can be a brilliant vehicle to engage and converse with both patients and stakeholders.
For example, our recent School for Health and Care Radicals course reached an average 2.6 million people via Twitter for each of its five weeks, whilst the Student Nursing Stop the Pressure conference in Lincoln last October reached 320,000 in just one day.
Stop the Pressure Lincoln and NHS Change Day both started WITH JUST ONE TWEET!
Hence, part of my role involves helping people to get up to speed with Twitter; from egg to fully fledged hatchling, so to speak.
The setting up of an account is straightforward, as is following people, but one of the most common comments I hear is;
"But I have nothing to say…"
To which I reply… "Of course you do… it all depends on who you're saying it to – once you start tweeting you'll be surprised how many people are interested in what you have to say and start following you!"
It's common for people to have two Twitter accounts: one for work, and one for social. I have a personal account, which is kept entirely separate from the office one @NHSIQ one. I doubt that the improvement movers and shakers of the NHS really want to know all about my veg plot and chicken farm…
When tweeting from your work account it's good practice to include in your bio who you work for, who you're tweeting on behalf of, what your interests are, and a common caveat is 'all my own views'.
But What To Say?
If you're at a conference or event, find out the hashtag, and tweet about what's happening, who's there and if there are any new products or services being launched
If you're involved in a project or campaign you can share ideas and resources – instantly. You'll soon find that others will join the conversation
Or why not join in a Twitter Chat? – @WeNurses hold one every Tuesday at 8pm #WeNurses
Anything that has a link, be it a YouTube film, Slideshare presentation or pins on Pinterest can be tweeted
Some Tips For Successful Tweeting Are:
Tweet photos and tag them – photos on Twitter are now instantly pinnable on Pinterest – thus potentially helping your content go even further
If you wouldn't say something to someone's face in real life, don't do it on Twitter.
Follow like-minded, connected people, and there's a good chance they'll follow you back. In the work capacity this could be Healthwatch organisations, CCGs, Trusts and Hospitals. In a personal capacity it could be… well… whoever takes your fancy.
Don't bombard your followers with irrelevant links or information, or purely 'all about you' – varied posts keep people interested
Try to stagger your posts throughout the day – people tend to dip in and out of their Twitter feed at different times
Always remember… EVERYONE has something to say!

I had heard some great reviews regarding people purchasing beautiful little pieces of jewellery from online marketplace Etsy. The vast majority of the time I am up to date with all the latest websites and product releases and other times I hear of something, put it out on the long finger and then it goes completely out of my head. Well that is until I had a bit of a eureka moment (one sleepless night) a few weeks ago. So whilst lying wide awake in the early hours of the morning having absolutely no luck whatsoever counting sheep or wishing the Sandman would visit, I started browsing the vast jewellery section on Etsy. Normally when I buy jewellery, I like to see it in person and try it on but for obvious reasons this is not achievable online. I think part of my new let's embrace everything attitude has encouraged me to take a chance on things. Also having bought some Daisy London/Laura Whitmore jewellery online has installed some extra confidence in me with regards online shopping.
The first thing I must say is when you do go on the Etsy website you will be met with an abundance of products. Each product beautifully presented and screaming buy me! There is some fantastic handmade homeware products, jewellery, children's toys and other various art and craft supplies that are both beautiful and unique. You will feel a mixture of inspiration and guilt, guilt at not being naturally crafty yourself. Some people are just ridiculously talented with what they can make and do. I myself am not one of those people unfortunately. There really is something for everyone on Etsy and navigating the site is a piece of cake. You can even filter products by location so you can limit your shopping to say Ireland only. I quite literally had a very long browse to see if anything would catch my eye. Does it surprise you that something actually did? No? Me either! To be honest I am a sucker for all things shiny. It must be my inner magpie screaming to be let loose. As I did not want to go too crazy with my first purchase and the fact that my funds have been seriously curtailed, I decided to limit my browsing to some type of mint and silver necklace. I had seen one previously but it was pricey so I thought I could get something similar online but obviously not pay the horrendous price tag for it. I also have a soft spot for handmade jewellery.
After a good half an hour of browsing I stumbled across a dainty mint and silver necklace by Belfast based designer lilabelledesign. The owner Margo was absolutely lovely to deal with and kept a great line of communication open right from purchasing the necklace until I received it in the post. The necklace itself cost around the €30 mark and is composed of a sterling silver chain with a mint green glass pendent*. The necklace is dainty but sturdy with a nice sized gem pendent attached. Overall it is very pretty and the coloured gem really adds that pop of colour. It is also available in a variety of different coloured gems and finishes. I am currently eyeing up a beautiful gold necklace in the same design but with a pink gem.
So after such a positive experience purchasing the beautiful green pendant necklace, I decided to have another browse in the jewellery section of the Etsy website. This time for some pretty earrings. After conducting another lengthy browse, I discovered an Italian brand called Skietromart that produces beautiful handmade coloured glass stud earrings. I love colour as you can probably tell so decided to pick up three different sets of earrings, one in fuchsia pink, one in coral and gold and the other in a glitter mix. I decided to go for the small 8mm stud size costing €9 each. I find that size to be perfect for me. They are not too big but yet you can still notice them. Communication between myself and Cristina was also fantastic and I received the order within a few days. I just love how pretty the earrings are as they do not overwhelm an outfit but simply complement it. The earrings also did not hurt my ears and felt lightweight on.
Overall my late night shopping experiences on Etsy were extremely positive and I would highly recommend browsing the many wonderful products on offer. Especially if you appreciate handmade items. I really like the personal touch which I think makes for great gift ideas not only for yourself but for a friend or loved one. I will definitely be making a purchase again, I just need to save up the much-needed funds first lol.
I have no link or affiliation to Etsy or any of the products sold on the website. I bought the necklace and earrings with my own money and received no discounted rate.


How does Seeds for Bees work?
Seeds For Bees provides growers and orchardists in California free or subsidized cover crop seeds designed by Project Apis m., along with technical support. This incentive gives growers an opportunity to try out cover crops for themselves at a reduced cost so that they can experience the benefits first hand. If you are a grower and are interested in participating, please visit our Grower's Page here.
Why does seeds for Bees put forage in almond orchards?
Does Seeds for Bees only benefit honey bees or is it good for other pollinators too?
PAm seed mixes are designed to meet the nutritional needs of honey bees, because they do the 'heavy lifting' of contract crop pollination. Our seed mixes also provide habitat and nutrition for other pollinators and beneficial insects. The example below illustrates the benefits of supporting natives and honey bees.
Thanks for asking! There is so much you can do to help bees and other pollinators!
Planting blooming plants in your garden and yard, mowing your lawn less frequently, using fewer pesticides in your yard, and spreading the word about organizations like Project Apis m. on your social networks are great ways to help!
Donating to Project Apis m. supports impactful research, forage programs like Seeds for Bees, and the Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund, and resources like education and the BIP Tech Transfer Teams.
If you are a grower, visit our Seeds for Bees web page for growers to find out how you can participate, and learn more.
I am a grower and have technical questions about planting cover crops, or want to participate in Seeds for Bees, where can I learn more?
We have a page dedicated to the needs and concerns of growers, and grower-specific FAQs. Visit the links below to learn more about what participation means, and apply to enroll in the Seeds for Bees program!
I have more questions or comments, who can I contact?
Please contact Billy Synk, Director of Pollination Programs at Billy@ProjectApism.org, or send a general inquiry from our contact us page.

Play Celebrates the NHS at Pocklington
Tackling tough topics with humour and hobnobs, 'Drip, Drip, Drip' is the latest taboo-busting play from the critically-acclaimed Pipeline Theatre which is heading to Pocklington Arts Centre (PAC) in early March.
This is a darkly comic story, set in an overstretched NHS hospital, which is sure to make the audience laugh, cry and possibly see the world from a new angle.
Pipeline Theatre has a reputation for taking difficult subjects and using humour to make them approachable and entertaining for audiences. Free tea and hobnobs will be on offer to the audience before the show, and there will be a post-show Q&A with the cast.
Jon Welch, writer and director of 'Drip, Drip, Drip', said: "Our new show is approaching a difficult subject with humour - we are seeking to create conversations around love, death, racism, hobnobs and everything in-between in today's incredible NHS.
"All of the audience will have their own experiences of the NHS, either as a care-giver or receiver, and it is our hope that we can provide a unique space in which people can carry on the conversation - an extremely rare opportunity in most of our daily experience."
In Drip, Drip, Drip, audiences meet a bewildered trainee nurse from Eritrea and a newly-arrived Muslim doctor who are treating David, a cancer patient, discredited academic and racist, on an NHS emergency ward under pressure.
To date, Pipeline Theatre has explored such topics as fostering, immigration, the online sex industry, drone warfare and the use of AI in aged care. They have produced four new studio plays and one community play, spanning three national tours and two Edinburgh fringes.
'Drip, Drip, Drip' comes to PAC on Wednesday 6 March, 7.30pm. Tickets £12 advance, £14 on the door, £7 (under 21s) on sale now from the Box Office on 01759 301547 or at www.pocklingtonartscentre.co.uk.
