Rights for Children and Youth Partnership: Strengthening Collaboration in the Americas (RCYP) seeks participants with experience in child welfare in Canada
This SHRCC funded project, Rights for Children and Youth Partnership: Strengthening Collaboration in the Americas (RCYP) is based out of Ryerson University. The project aims to "increase knowledge and factors that either support or hinder the protection of children and youth rights in the Caribbean, Central American and disproportionately represented populations in Canada" including in Canada, The Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua and Trinidad and Tobago.
The project is seeking participation from Caribbean families and children with experience in the child welfare system in Canada. Your participation will support the RCYPs mission to "increase knowledge of factors which support or hinder the protection of children and youth rights in the Caribbean, Central America, as well as the diaspora populations in Canada, which are disproportionately represented in the Canadian child welfare system".
News from RCYP ~ Rights for Children and Youth Partnership: Strengthening collaboration in the Americas
From their website, "The Rights for Children and Youth Partnership: Strengthening Collaboration in the Americas (RCYP) is a SSHRC funded project. The goal of this project is to increase knowledge and factors that either support or hinder the protection of children and youth rights in the Caribbean, Central American and disproportionately represented populations in Canada.
"This project features a collaboration of research from universities, government, and non-government, and international organizations. Researchers involved in the project come from eight different countries around the world including: Canada, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua and Trinidad & Tobago".
RCYP will be relaunching their blog this fall and are seeking contributions from researchers, practitioners and children and youth to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences regarding children and youth rights.
In addition, RCYP is seeking youth to serve on their Youth Advisory Committee. For info, contact @HenryParada_Rye @SSHRC_CRSH
NB effort to support & promote immigrant youth
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/imagine-nb-young-immigrants-1.4216065
Policy advice for the next/new #cdnimm minister
In a Q & A format, New Canadian Media have published a piece on policy advice for the next/new Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, post the Oct 19th federal election. It's a thoughtful piece by esteemed policy wonks, Andrew Griffith, Robert Vineberg, and Richard Kurland.
I have a few additions to propose. I'll use the questions that form the NCM piece.
1. What advice would you give an incoming minister of immigration and multiculturalism?
I'm delighted to see the premise of this question because the minister of immigration and citizenship ought to also hold the multiculturalism portfolio.
I support the expert's advice to update the citizenship guide, Discover Canada, but I'd also propose both child (birth to age eight) and youth (eight to 18) versions. This could be a lot of fun!
2. Would you change the relative proportion of economic, family unification and humanitarian (refugee) migrants arriving in Canada every year?
I agree with Vineberg and would support an increase in family class. See the Canadian Council for Refugees item on family reunification. Policy responses related to transnational families, unaccompanied and undocumented children are also warranted.
3. What's the ideal number of newcomers (including refugees) that Canada should take in every year (compared to the current average)?
Kurland's response "No such thing as an ideal number" is valid, but Griffith's suggestion provides a clearer direction: "Set in place an advisory body, broadly-based, that would review the social and economic integration data, nationally and regionally, to provide recommendations to government for longer-term targets and assess whether current levels and mix are appropriate". I would hope that such an advisory body would, beyond recommending targets and assessing mix, also examine and recommend ways to support integration for immigrant children and youth.
4. Should multiculturalism be official policy? What needs to change?
As stated, multiculturalism is official policy and entrenched in the Charter. Changes may be warranted and I would propose that early childhood educators and primary school teachers – and parents – be consulted on how the policy can support and promote not only the theory of multiculturalism, but the importance of integration for newcomer children.
5. Should provinces and municipalities have a greater role in immigration? What role should that be?
Yes! Since provinces and municipalities have responsibility for education and health, and these areas impact young children and youth directly, these levels of government must step up their involvement and work to ensure that appropriate policies and programs are in place to support and promote integration, health and well-being of immigrant children and youth.
6. What can a new government do differently to enable "foreign credential recognition"?
The new government must put in place a pan-Canadian child care program that is publicly funded, regulated, accessible, affordable, not-for-profit, and community based. As newcomer parents navigate the foreign credential process (and later, as they enter the workforce), a high-quality child care program is critical. A truly universal child care program would also be culturally relevant and take into consideration the needs of newcomer children and families.
Generation to generation: Empowering newcomer youth & families
Cities of Migration Learning Exchange series presents a webinar on New Zealand and Canadian programs "that improve language and digital literacy for immigrant families and youth by removing barriers to technology, promoting inter-generational tutoring, and strengthening community relations through education".
The webinar will be held October 30. To sign up, visit the Eventbrite site. From that site, the following description (links added):
In Wellington, New Zealand, Computers in Homes (CIH) adapted a program that provides low income families with computers and training and modified it to cater specifically to refugee families and their unique needs. CIH recognized an opportunity to make Internet access and basic computer technology a passport to improved integration outcomes for immigrant children and their parents.
In Toronto, Canada, Youth Empowering Parents (YEP) is an innovative, award-winning program that equips newcomer youth to teach newcomer adults English and computer skills. Rather than a traditional classroom with an instructor, YEP trains youth with the skills to act as effective volunteer tutors for adults in their community.

Canadian Council for Refugees Youth Network seeks submissions from youth
The Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR) Youth Network is developing a guide whereby newcomer youth can share their experiences and provide useful insights for youth who are just arriving in Canada.The purpose of this alternative guide is to:
Provide an introductory resource that is primarily led by youth and that is specifically directed towards a youth audience.
Create a space for newcomer youth to voice their different experiences in Canada and to facilitate the sharing of useful tips on accessing information.
Connect experiences faced by Indigenous and newcomer youth across the country.
The CCR Youth Network would like to invite youth with immigrant and refugee experiences to contribute to this guide for youth arriving in Canada, by sharing your own stories and views on:
~Adjusting to life in Canada.
~Finding out about different ways of navigating the system in Canada and in different provinces (e.g. finding a school, finding out how to move around and where/who to ask for help in different situations).
~Services, organizations, groups and/or individuals that supported you the most when you arrived to Canada and in what ways.
~Resources you found most useful to learn about how things worked and to meet new people (e.g. community resources, after-school programs, employment, financial and/or legal resources, among others).
~The things that marked your experience the most, both before and after coming to Canada.
~The advice you would like to be able to give to yourself at the time you arrived in Canada.
Criteria for submitting your experiences:
The CCR is looking for stories that speak to refugee and immigrant youth's experiences in different formats and media and that can be useful in some way for youth who are arriving in Canada. Formats and media may include but are not limited to:
~Poems
~Short recordings/videos
~Short stories
~Illustrations
~Photographs
The CCR also welcomes any input about useful resources: for example, you could give us a list of the top 5-10 resources that were most useful to you when you arrived in Canada.
All stories can be submitted in English or French. If you would like to submit a story that reflects on your life experiences before and after arriving in Canada, you may also send it in your first language. If you choose to do so, please send an English or French version as well.
Stories may be published anonymously if desired. If you wish to remain anonymous please indicate this in your email and the CCR will not publish your name. Stories must respect the CCR's anti-oppression policy.
Send your submission by email to yn@ccrweb.ca by May 31, 2014. Submissions sent after that deadline may still be considered.
For more information, please contact the CCR by email.
The CCR strongly encourages submissions from people of colour, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer people.

Papers, the book
immigrantchildren.ca reviewed the documentary Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth two years ago. It is a provocative and moving piece depicting the triumphs and challenges faced by undocumented youth in the US. Now, Papers, the book has been released. From the announcement:
"Papers the Book is here!! Order your copy today!
"This beautiful book includes 30 stories by undocumented youth and is illustrated with color drawings by undocumented artist Julio Salgado.
"These moving and inspiring stories were written by young people who range in age from 10 to 32. They were born in countries throughout the world and raised in the United States. The writers sent these stories to Graham Street Productions during the production of the documentary film Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth.
"For bulk and educational orders of this book, please contact us at info@grahamstreetproductions.com or 503-282-8683.
"For press inquiries or for a review copy, please contact us at
info@grahamstreetproductions.com or 503-282-8683″.
There is no one undocumented experience. Some of our parents crossed the border without authorization, some of us came here legally and overstayed visas, some of us were escaping persecution while some came seeking more prosperity. We are from all over the world. But somewhere in all our stories, there is a common thread: there is an act of love.
– Prerna Lal, Undocumented and Unafraid
Undocumented youth have been the leaders of a cultural transformation that has swept the country, making huge gains for the immigrant rights movement. Unapologetic and unafraid, they are writing their own history and establishing new rules in the game.
– Favianna Rodriguez, artist and co-editor of Reproduce & Revolt
In the dawn of the 21st century, undocumented youth are a living testament to what is enduring about the American spirit.

Immigrant mothers, health outcomes and promising practices to reduce health inequities Health inequities can affect immigrant and refugee mothers, and, as maternal health is a spread-used indicator to assess the state of well-being in most countries, there is a need to explore how immigrant mothers' health can be affected once in Canada. Speakers at this workshop will showcase recent research on maternal health differences between immigrant and Canadian-born mothers. They will examine several health indicators and determinants of health as well as the maternal experiences, perceptions, knowledge, and practices of both populations. The workshop will also include the preliminary findings from the Migrant Friendly Maternity Care project as well as a community perspective on a number of resources and initiatives being implemented to address the reproductive needs of newcomer women and their families.

Increasing immigrant parents understanding of their children's experiences
In their article "Vietnamese American immigrant parents: A Pilot parenting intervention", authors Y. Joel Wong, et al. use the fish bowl facilitation approach to increase parental awareness of the immigrant child's experiences, including how they see their relationships with their parents.
From the abstract (available online), from The Family Journal:
"After the parenting intervention, a focus group interview was conducted with eight participants to examine their reactions to the intervention. The following qualitative themes emerged from the focus group: (a) increased insight on parent—child relations, (b) need for improvement in communication skills, (c) parent—child cultural gaps, (d) issues of trust between parent and child, and (e) benefits from participation in the workshop. Quantitative findings revealed that after the intervention, participants reported greater intention to show expressive love to their children as well as increased parental empathy".


On a visit to India, faculties of the University of British Columbia (UBC) conducted a workshop at Forest Research Institute (Deemed to be University), Dehradun on 14th May, 2018.

Under a cloud: Canadian cannabis producers stand by upcoming vape products amid U.S. health scare
TORONTO — The Canadian provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador said on Wednesday they would not allow the sale of cannabis vapes, just weeks before the start of marijuana derivatives sales, as concerns linger about a possible connection between the vaping products and severe lung disease.
"We will not be selling vaping products on January 1," Fabrice Giguère, a spokesman for the Société québécoise du cannabis, which is responsible for marijuana sales in the province, said by email, adding the province had not officially announced its stance.
All of Quebec's legal cannabis stores are run by the provincial government, while Newfoundland and Labrador's stores are private.

Earlier on Wednesday, Newfoundland and Labrador, which as Canada's easternmost province was the first to kick off sales of legal cannabis last year, said it would not allow cannabis vape products, but would review the decision in light of any new clinical evidence.
There have been 11 cases of severe lung illnesses in Canada related to vaping, according to data from the Canadian government, which has said it is investigating the cause. Three have been in Quebec, and none in Newfoundland & Labrador.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Nov. 21 identified vitamin E acetate, an additive that is often mixed with marijuana oil in the illicit cannabis market, as a "chemical of concern."
"The intent of the decision is to protect the health of the people in this province until there is more evidence about the connection between cannabis vaping products and severe lung disease," the Newfoundland and Labrador government said in a statement.

Miss Machine () — второй студийный альбом маткор группы The Dillinger Escape Plan. Альбом вышел 20 июля 2004 года с лейбла Relapse. Издательством в России занимался лейбл Irond. Альбом выходил в измененной обложке, но в такой же артхаус стилистике. Альбом стал первым с участием басиста Лайама Уилсона и вокалиста Грега Пучиато, который заменил ушедшего Димитрия Минакакиса. Но также это последний альбом, с участием барабанщика Криса Пенни и гитаристом Брайана Бенуа. С альбома вышли клипы на песни Panasonic Youth, Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants и Unretrofied, которые спродюсировал Джош Грэм из Neurosis. Сам альбом спродюсировал Стив Эветтс.

Музыкальное направление
До выпуска в 2007 Ire Works, Miss Machine был, в значительной степени, самым экспериментальным релизом группы на сегодняшний день, поскольку группа черпала вдохновение из опыта работы с Майком Паттоном и звучания таких групп, как Nine Inch Nails. На этом альбоме группа смягчает тяжесть предыдущих релизов, и появились такие элементы, как певческий вокал, более простые структуры песен и медленный темп.

Благодаря сотрудничеству Майка Паттона с группой, его экспериментальное влияние начало сказываться на группе. Кроме того, Грег Пучиато был связан с Error, индастриал группой, примерно в то же время, что и выпуск Miss Machine, из-за чего возможно и сформировалось звучание Miss Machine. Альбом оказался гораздо более экспериментальным и включал в себя гораздо больше элементов джаз-фьюжна и электроники. К примеру, гитары Вайнмана не были столь заметны в миксе.

Эндрю Рейчер из Brooklyn Vegan сказал, что называть альбом маткором «слишком нишево» и «недооценивать его». Он описал звучание альбома как «прогрессивный цирковой кислотный фрик-авант-готический металлический рок».

Отзывы критиков

Критики приняли альбом достаточно хорошо. Критики из Allmusic написали следующее: «Больше нечего сказать — следующий истинный образ рок-н-ролла выполз из болот Джерси». Несмотря на положительный отзыв, Pitchfork подметили: «Хотя Miss Machine показывает DEP в отличной музыкальной форме, группа, похоже, потеряла уверенность и направление». Критики из Rolling Stone были настроены отрицательно, заявив: «Если вы не пытаетесь выгнать диктатора третьего мира из его забаррикадированного дворца, вам будет трудно слушать Miss Machine полностью». Альбом получил оценку 80 баллов на Metacritic, что указывает на общие положительные отзывы.

Q: How to calculate day difference using mdx? Tell me how to calculate the day difference between two date columns in pentaho schema workbench.
Thanks in advance.

A: Just to add some dynamic functionality to Harsha's answer you can use:

*

*the CURRENTMEMBER function to get hold of dates used on ROWS

*you can use VBA date functions to get hold of today's date

So if I run this:
WITH
  MEMBER Measures.DD AS
    Datediff
    ('d'
     ,Cdate([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Member_Caption)
     ,Cdate(VBAMDX.Now())
    )
SELECT
  {Measures.DD} ON COLUMNS
 ,[Date].[Calendar].[Date] ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];

It results in this:

It is almost the first thing I teach my first-year students. Ever rock William Smith at the beginning of the 19th century, fossils have been and still are the best and most accurate dating of dating and correlating rkck rocks in which they occur. The dating sequence of fossils is thought to represent a process because the enclosing datings are interpreted as a process. The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. Stratigraphy cannot avoid this kind of reasoning, if it insists on using only temporal concepts, because fo is inherent in the derivation of time just hook up website reviews. In fact, many geologists now see rock, short-lived events as being the principal contributors to geologic sequences….
The periods of relative quiet contribute only a small part of mts internet hookup record. Thus, the procedure is far from ideal and the geologic ranges of fossils are constantly being revised usually extended as new occurrences are found. In spite of this problem, the system does work! Moreover, it may be rock in some cases: The only chronometric layer applicable in geologic history for the stratigraphic classification of rocks and for dating geologic events exactly is furnished by the fossils.
Owing to the irreversibility of evolution, they offer an unambiguous timescale for relative age determinations and for world-wide correlations of rocks. There is no way simply to look at a fossil and say how old it is unless you know the age of the layers it comes from.
If we date the rocks by the fossils, how can we then turn around and talk about the pattern of evolutionary change through time in the fossil record?
In its place, the particles that settle from the transporting medium will be finer-grained, and there will be a lateral transition from coarser- to finer-grained dating. The lateral variation in sediment within a stratum is known as sedimentary facies. If layer sedimentary material is available, it will be deposited up to the limits of the sedimentary basin. Often, the rock basin is within rocks that are very different from the sediments that are being deposited, in which the lateral limits of the rock layer will be can you hook up a 3 phase motor to single phase by an abrupt change in rock type.
Melt inclusions are dating parcels or "blobs" of molten rock that are trapped dating crystals that grow in the magmas that form igneous rocks. In many respects they are analogous to fluid inclusions.
Melt inclusions are rock layer — layer are less than micrometres across a micrometre is one thousandth of a millimeter, or about 0.
Nevertheless, they can provide an abundance of useful information. Using microscopic observations and a range of chemical microanalysis techniques geochemists and rock petrologists can obtain a range of useful information from melt inclusions. Two of the most common uses of melt inclusions are to study the compositions of magmas present early in the history of specific magma systems.
This is because inclusions can act like "fossils" — trapping and preserving these early layers before they are modified by later igneous processes.
In addition, because they are trapped at layer pressures datings melt inclusions also provide important information about the contents of volatile elements such as H 2 O, CO 2S laeyrs Cl that drive explosive volcanic eruptions.
Sorby was the first to document microscopic layer inclusions in crystals. The study of melt inclusions has been rock more recently by the development of sophisticated chemical layer techniques.
Scientists from the former Soviet Union dating the study of melt inclusions in the league of legends normal draft matchmaking after World War II Sobolev and Kostyuk,and developed datings for rock melt inclusions under a microscope, so changes could be rock observed.
Although they are small, melt inclusions may contain a number of different constituents, including glass which represents magma that has been quenched by layer coolingsmall crystals and a separate vapour-rich bubble. They occur in most of daing crystals found in igneous rocks and are lf in the minerals quartzfeldsparolivine and pyroxene. The formation of melt inclusions appears to be a normal dating of the crystallization of minerals within hook up auxiliary fuel tank, and they can be dating in both volcanic and plutonic rocks.
The law of included rokc is datint method of rock dating in geology. Essentially, this law states that clasts in a rock are older than the rock itself. Layets example is a derived fossilwhich is a fossil that has been eroded from an older bed and redeposited into a younger layeers. This is a restatement of Charles Lyell 's original oayers of inclusions and components from his to multi-volume Principles of Geologywhich states that, with sedimentary rocksif inclusions or clasts are found in a formationrock the inclusions must be older than the formation that adting them.
These foreign bodies are picked up as magma or lava orckand are incorporated, later to cool in the matrix. As a result, xenoliths are older than the rock which contains them Relative dating is used to determine the order of events on Solar System objects other than Earth; orck decades, planetary scientists have used it to rock the development of bodies in the Solar Systemparticularly in the vast layer of cases for which we have no surface samples.
Many of the same principles are applied. For example, if a valley is formed inside an dating craterthe valley must be younger than the dating. Craters are very useful in relative dating; as a general rule, the younger a planetary surface is, the fewer craters it hookup society. If long-term cratering rates are known fock enough precision, crude absolute dates can be applied based on craters alone; however, cratering rates outside the Top christian dating sites australia system are poorly known.
Relative dating methods in archaeology are rock to some of those applied in geology. The principles of typology can be compared to the biostratigraphic approach in geology.
The direction of the earth's magnetic field, which can be normal polarity or reversed layer.
Radiometric dating technique that uses the decay of 39K and 40Ar in potassium-bearing minerals to determine the absolute age. Any geologic feature that cross-cuts rock strata must have formed after the rocks they cut through were deposited. Fossil species succeed each other in a definitive, recognizable datihg and once a species goes extinct, it disappears and cannot reappear in younger rocks.
Layers of strata are deposited horizontally, or nearly horizontally, and layer or nearly parallel to the earth's layer. In an undeformed sequence, the oldest rocks are at the bottom and the youngest rocks are at the top.
An unstable isotope spontaneously emits radiation from its atomic nucleus. The process by which unstable isotopes transform to stable isotopes of the same or different elements by a change in the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.

Using relative and radiometric layer methods, geologists are able to answer the question: Relative dating to determine the age of rocks and fossils. Determining the layer age of rocks and fossils. Unlike relative dating methods, absolute dating methods provide chronological estimates of the age of certain geological materials associated with fossils, and even direct age measurements of the fossil material itself.
To establish the age of a layer loadout matchmaking problems a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was rock.
Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as rock clocks to date ancient events.
Geologists also use other methods - such as electron spin resonance and thermoluminescencewhich assess the effects of radioactivity on the accumulation of electrons in imperfections, or "traps," in the crystal structure of a mineral - to determine the age of the rocks or fossils.

Martin Slaughter Davenport was probably born about 1769 in Cumberland County, Virginia. He was apparently the first son of David Davenport's second marriage to Molly Slaughter, the daughter of Martin Slaughter. (He apparently overstated his age in the 1850 census.) He had reached 16 by 1785, for on 22 May 1786 his father was cited for not including him as a tithable.1 The following year David Davenport was charged with an unnamed tithable aged 16 to 21, which must have been Martin. He next appears as surety for the marriage of Martha Bowles and William Moore on 4 December 1788.2 He also witnessed his father's 1789 deed. His first appearance in the tax lists was in 1793, when he was taxed on one horse. He was subsequently listed in the Cumberland tax lists through 1799, when he evidently moved to Powhatan County to teach school. He appears on the Powhatan County tax list of 1801.
He married Polly Forest Nunnally on 16 April 1800 in Powhatan County. Polly was the eldest child of John Nunnally and Susan Burton, who moved to Georgia at about the same time Martin did. John Nunnally died in Clarke County, Georgia in 1825.
His father's will named him one of three executors. Martin, however, became the sole executor, probably a thankless task given the horde of outstanding debts.3 He then returned to Cumberland County where he appears on the tax lists from 1803 through 1806. Martin was guardian of his sister Frances Benson Davenport and apparently took her to Georgia with him.4 He appears in several court records over the next three years, mainly associated with his father's debts.
Just before his death, David Davenport had deeded his remaining Cumberland County land to his son "Martin Slaughter Davenport".5 Two months after his father's death, Martin obtained a deed for the same land from his step-brother William Davenport to perfect his title.6 On 26 May 1806, Martin S. Davenport and his wife Polly F. Davenport sold the 125 acres.7 Having closed the estate, they apparently left for Georgia, since Martin is not on the 1807 Cumberland tax list. He apparently joined several of his cousins who had settled in and around Oglethorpe County. His younger sister Frances, for whom he was guardian, was married in Oglethorpe County, Georgia in 1807.
He was in Oglethorpe County, Georgia by 1814, but had probably moved there after selling his land in 1806. Note that his uncle James Davenport and most of his family had moved to Oglethorpe County several years earlier. He appears there in 1820 heading a household of twelve. ((Oglethorpe County 1820 census, p193: Martin S. Davenport 411201-11010.)) At some point he was settled in Clarke County, for he drew Lot 165 in Murray County in the second section of the Cherokee Lands Lottery of 1832 while a resident of Clarke County.
Susan A. Davenport who was married to a Prince at the time of her father's will. She may have been the wife of Garland Prince.
John A. Davenport (c1805 – ?) was apparently the same person who married Martha F. Simmons in Pike County, Georgia on 16 December 1832. That person is the one in the 1850 Pike County census, age 45.
Moses N. Davenport (c1803 – 1869) He married Mary E. Fullilove on 17 December 1828 in Clarke County, and had six known children. He appears three names from his father in 1840.10 The 1850 census of Clarke County gives his age as 47. His father, age 84, was also in the household. He and Mary were still in Clarke County in 1860. The 1870 mortality census for Clarke County recorded his death in July 1869.
Jesse Davenport (? – ?) Some think he was the same person who married Susan Hale on 29 June 1843. That person seems more likely to have been the son of a Henry Davenport. The 1850 census of Clarke County shows him, age 32, with eldest child named Henry and a brother-in-law in the household, living near a Henry Davenport, age 66.
Presley G. Davenport (c1805 – 1890) See separate page.
Catherine Davenport (c1813 – aft1880) She married Ellington Credille on 4 January 1831 in Clarke County, Georgia. Ellington Credille was the brother of Sarah Ann Credille, wife of Presley G. Davenport. They are listed in the 1840 Henry County census, Catherine aged 20-30, with two sons and one daughter all under 5. On 8 December 1842, Martin S. Davenport made a deed of gift of two slaves to his son Presley G. Davenport to be held in trust by "my son-in-law, Ellington Credille."11 Ellington Credille was dead by December 1849 when an estate sale was held.12 On 16 May 1850 Moses Davenport signed a receipt for the surviving issue of the slaves in trust for Presley Davenport "from Catharine Davenport, administrator of the estate of Ellington Criddle, deceased."13 Catherine and seven children are enumerated in the 1850 census of Henry County. Catherine did not remarry and remained in Henry County, appearing as head of household in 1860 (with five of her children still at home), 1870, and 1880.
Henry S. Davenport (c1819 – ?) was apparently the same person who married Sarah E. Kilpatrick in Pike County, Georgia on 13 November 1838. He appears adjacent to his father in the 1840 census.14 He is apparently the H. S. Davenport, physician, in the 1850 census of Forsyth County, Georgia. He was not further traced.

It was a very overcast day. It was actually pretty dark, and it was getting ready to rain. I saw a nuthatch on a branch, so I decided to shoot, anyway. I put my camera on a high ISO of 640, and the F stop was 5.6. I had nothing to lose. Either I would get an acceptable shot, or I wouldn't. If I decided not to shoot because of the bad lighting, I wouldn't have anything. This image is straight out of the camera. I dropped it into Photoshop for some corrections. The first thing I usually do is some simple cleanups. In this image, I want to remove the white speck on the beak, and maybe a few dust spots here and there: The next thing I do when I look at an image in Photoshop is to open up the levels pallete (Image / Adjustments / Levels). See the right side of the levels box where the black line stops? This is where I'm going to push the white triangle slider to the left to meet the black line, in order to increase the brightness: This is how it looks after I made that level adjustment. Already the image looks brighter: The next thing I do is go into selective color (Image / Adjustments / Selective Color). Because of the lighting conditions with this image, and the darkness of the image, there was a green cast. Play with the sliders, because every image is different. In this image, I want to get rid of the green cast. I'll pick green from the drop down color selection. I did the same thing with white. Because each image is different, you'll have to experiment with these settings to get it looking the way you want: Next, I go into brightness / contrast (Image / Adjustments / Brightness/Contrast). For this image I added a +24 brightness and +7 contrast: This setting added brightness and contrast to the whole image. I wanted to make the bird a little brighter, and keep the background a little on the dark side, to emphasise the bird, so I took the history brush at 50% opacity, and just brushed around the outer edges of the image: Here are the before and after images. Not bad for bad lighting on a crappy, rainy day!
Hi lorri really enjoyed your photoshop tips they are great.Juat a question you might be able to help me with .How to add a light in a house window ?eg a house at night with light in the window how do i add the light so it looks real.Thank you looking foward hearing from you .Kind regards Bernard brady.
Good question. That would be a great topic for a future tutorial. It would be more than I could answer in a comment. Keep an eye out for a future post.
Great tutorial Lorry, I am not a graphic designer but once in a while I need to do some graphic work so bookmarked this tutorial and used over and over again when I have to re touch images, good job.

Trae Patton/NBC
And just like that, we're almost to the live shows for "The Voice" Season 15. We now know several of the artists who will be competing for public votes beginning next Monday, November 12. After tonight's episode of Knockouts Night 3, we'll know the rest for the teams of coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Jennifer Hudson or Kelly Clarkson.
Stay tuned throughout this week as we offer up separate power rankings for each team on our home page. Who do you think has the best chance to win Season 15?
Pop superstar Mariah Carey has been an excellent choice to guide the singers during this round, giving them advice not only on their songs but also on their stage presences. Monday evening's show will be the final time we see her on this season.

And now enjoy our live updating recap for Monday, November 5 below:
8:01 p.m. – With no time to waste, we got right down to business tonight with Kelly's pairing of Sarah Grace and Chevel Shepherd. Chevel's choice to take on "Travelin' Solider" by The Dixie Chicks made Kelly happy because it forced her voice down the country lane where she thinks she should be and according to Mariah was a chance to sing as a storyteller instead of just a singer. Sarah Grace's song was one of Kelly's favorites of all time, "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Etta James, and the song that made Sarah fall in love with blues music. During rehearsal Mariah referred to Sarah Grace as "seasoned" and "an old soul."
8:07 p.m. – Prior to their performances Kelly said that the winner would be the one that displays the most confidence and ownership over the song. With that in mind, Chevel was a bit timid on stage while Sarah Grace seemed much more comfortable and used the stage and audience to her benefit. Adam gave the edge to Chevel, but Blake called Sarah "magnetic" and he and Jennifer both advised Kelly to choose her. Declaring that she only wants bold artists on her team who are "ready to go in right now," Kelly picked Chevel! But… but… but it wasn't the end of the line for Sarah Grace because Kelly saved her and kept her on Team Kelly!
8:17 p.m. – For Adam's first knockout of the night he pitted DeAndre Nico against Jake Wells because of how different from one another they are. To show that he can do country, too, DeAndre chose to sing the Hunter Hayes song "Wanted." Mariah admired his talent, but urged him to find the "happy medium" between that talent and his desire to show his range. Jake decided on Coldplay's "Yellow" this week because it's a song he's familiar with having performed it with his band for years. As they did with DeAndre, Adam and Mariah advised Jake to remember that sometimes less is more.
8:23 p.m. – Saying on the keyboard throughout his performance, Jake succeeded in making an iconic song sound both familiar and new, but where the original song soars he never managed to reach its height. On the other hand, DeAndre ran with the advice he was given and let the quieter moments of his song speak as loudly as the big ones. The coaches thought Jake did a decent job, but insinuated that he may have been outmatched by the song. Before choosing him to remain on his team, Adam said that DeAndre "came to win" and complimented his tone. It's no surprise he'll stick around because he is one of Adam's strongest vocalists.
8:38 p.m. – For Jennifer's next knockout she chose Anthony Arya and Kennedy Holmes to go against one another. As an artist drawn to the singer songwriters of the 60s, Anthony went with "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)" by Jim Croce for this round. Mariah saw a sincerity in Anthony's delivery and counseled him to continue to be himself as an artist. For Kennedy, her choice of "What About Us" by Pink was an attempt to break away from her musical theater background and to show her range. Jennifer sees Kennedy as "too polished" and so her and Mariah asked her to be as vulnerable as her age suggests.
8:43 p.m. – Anthony lived up to his promise of having a simple singer songwriter vibe, performing with a guitar from a stool. As good as he sounded, there was very little energy or star quality to what he presented which just couldn't compare to someone like Kennedy doing one of Pink's loudest songs. Adam was highly complimentary of Anthony while both Kelly and Blake spoke more highly of Kennedy. In the end, Jennifer saw the vulnerability she wanted from Kennedy and so she kept her.
8:59 p.m. – Blake's first pairing of the night was Colton Smith versus Kirk Jay, both of whom were beyond ecstatic to meet Mariah in real life. After putting his excitement aside, Kirk rehearsed Brett Young's "In Case You Didn't Know" with the goal of showing that he has some diversity in him by playing the keyboard. Mariah anticipated Kirk having "a moment" in his performance after she was drawn in and captivated by him. Colton went with the bold choice of "Lady Marmalade" in honor of his mom, but Mariah considered it an ambitious choice regardless of how comfortable he is in his own skin.
9:04 p.m. – Unfortunately for Colton he had a momentary loss of hearing during his performance that caused him to flub the lyrics during the last chorus, but the coaches were supportive and reminded him that it happens to every performer. Kirk was perfectly reserved and even from behind the piano managed to be engaging and emote the song appropriately. Kelly told Kirk that she's impressed at how he shows a little bit more of himself each week and Adam predicted that he'd be in the finale. There was really only one direction for Blake to go in his decision and so he chose to stick with Kirk, but before he could go Jennifer used her steal to protect Colton from elimination! In doing so she said that she never wanted to let him go from her team during the battles. Yes!
9:20 p.m. – For Adam's final knockout pairing he had Delaney Silvernell against Steve Memmolo. For her performance, Delaney chose the vulnerable Kesha ballad "Praying" because it offered her the opportunity stretch herself. Again, Mariah advised her to hold back by easing into the song rather than starting it off as big as she was. Steve went with the Motown-influenced "Unaware" by Allen Stone, to which Adam stressed the importance of diving deep into every lyric of the song.
9:26 p.m. – While Delaney did let her song start on a slower beat, she quickly erupted into the bright loudness of the chorus and showed that she can fill the room with her voice. I do think she lacked the connection to the lyric, especially for a song that personal, and so she never lifted it to where it should be. Steve, on the other hand, kept his performance right in the zone throughout and injected soul and groove into his raspy vocal and a lively stage persona. Both Jennifer and Blake gave the edge to Steve because of his stage presence, but Kelly told Delaney that she gave her best performance of the season in this round. Because he was proud of his ability to commit, Adam chose to keep Steve around.
9:42 p.m. – For the last knockout of the season we saw Michael Lee go against Chris Kroeze. Their rehearsal station started with Chris singing "Burning House" by Cam, his first country song choice of the season. Mariah and Blake loved him playing the guitar and even suggested that he return to the instrument at the end of the song. Michael went with a big vocal, choosing The Allman Brothers Band song "Whipping Post." He chose the song because he connects with it personally, knowing what it feels like to be at the bottom. Mariah loved the scream Michael included at the end of the song and begged him to keep it for the final performance.
9:47 p.m. – Chris delivered a really beautiful rendition of his song, finding the pocket of the vocal and pulling the studio audience in with every line. It was a much, much quieter performance than the one Michael gave, but no less powerful. Michael showed a ton of grit in his vocal, channeling raw passion for the music that had Kelly cheering on her feet and Jennifer waving her card in the air. Knowing that it was the final performance of the round and that he still had his save, Blake mocked the process a bit and flipped a coin to determine the winner between the two: that winner was Michael and so Blake used his save to keep Chris around anyway.
9:59 p.m. – Heading in to next week's playoffs, who are your favorites and who do you think America is going to embrace with the most votes? Make your own voice heard below in the comments!
