Those of you who are familiar with Michigan and the Great Lakes, which is where I live, know how variable the weather can be; mid-May average temperature is mid-60s. On May 14, 2016, the day of the Grave Marker Dedication Ceremony for Benjamin Woodruff, son Andrew and I, both descendants of Benjamin, encountered temperatures in the low 40s and brisk breezes that carried sleety-snowy-rain as we gathered at Forest Hill Cemetery in Ann Arbor, Michigan!
As was common in 1837, when Benjamin died, he was buried the following day and therefore was not accorded a military funeral. The DAR and SAR strive to provide a service for our forgotten patriots; on this day another Revolutionary War soldier, Josiah Cutler, was honored with our ancestor, Benjamin.
The ceremony began with a welcome from Phil Jackson, Huron Valley Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). Following Phil's remarks, we watched the posting of colors and standards with bearers dressed in Revolutionary War period uniforms. Thomas Pleuss, Chaplain of the Huron Valley Chapter SAR, gave the invocation, and then Kate Kirkpatrick, from the local Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) chapter made some remarks, followed by remarks from a representative from each patriot's family. Thomas Woodruff and Frank Ticknor (Josiah's family) each presented a brief history of our respective ancestor. This portion of the ceremony was conducted about mid-way between the two patriot's graves. After family remarks, the ceremony was conducted separately at each grave site.
Benjamin's grave site is a family memorial with several of his family interred there. Tom and his son, Michael, generously purchased a marker for Benjamin indicating his service as a Revolutionary War patriot. (The US government 'declined' to provide a marker.) Our grateful thanks to Tom and Michael's families for researching Revolutionary War markers and commissioning the marker to be made. The marker was unveiled before our nation's tribute, the folding of the flag. Since there was no flag pole, the ceremony actually involved unfolding a flag brought by the SAR/DAR for the occasion, and then refolding it as a story was told about the meaning of the folds, the last fold being a representation of a mother tucking in her child for the night—a story made up sometime in the past, but a touching story nonetheless. Once folded, the flag was presented to Tom. We were then cautioned that the next part of the ceremony would be the military tribute, a 21-gun (and 2 muskets) salute—startlingly loud!
The veterans Honor Guard of Washtenaw County (Michigan), the Indiana Society Color Guard, and the Ohio Society Color Guard performed the tribute of three volleys. The 21 spent shells were given to Tom, who offered one to each of the family as a memento of the day.
The Sword Salute was by far the most touching part of the ceremony for me. Three of the Color Guard detached from the group. The leader explained that, on command, the three of them would tip their tri-corn hats to honor our patriot and then bow, touching the ground with their swords, to show humility for Benjamin's service to us and our country. To conclude the ceremony there was a sounding of taps by two buglers.
Both families (Woodruff and Cutler) came together once again after Josiah's ceremony, for floral tributes from several SAR, DAR, and CAR groups (Children of the American Revolution). These organizations developed at various times with the objective of keeping alive their ancestors' stories of patriotism and courage "in the belief that it is a universal one of man's struggle against tyranny…." [from SAR website] The conclusion of the entire ceremony was a bagpipe tribute to both soldiers, by Herm Steinman.
Chilled to the bone, but eager to meet cousins we didn't even know existed a few short weeks before, we gathered with Benjamin's other descendants at Conor O'Neill's Irish Pub in Ann Arbor, as guests of Tom and his wife, Jane, and Mike and his wife and tiny daughter. We met 'new' cousins, including Tom and Mike's families, as well as Pam Olander from the Chicago area and reacquainted ourselves with cousins who had attended one of the Woodruff family reunions we organized during the mid-2000s. The room was quite abuzz with everyone sharing history and asking questions. Tom told us the motto on our Woodruff Coat of Arms, "Sit Dux Sapientia," translates as "Let wisdom be your guide;" we had not known the motto, only the shield design.
The day before the ceremony, Andrew and I had met Pam at the Bentley Historical Library on the U of M campus in Ann Arbor. We spent over two hours poring through Woodruff documents stored at the Library and were finally able to answer a question: Why would John Woodruff leave England in 1640? The answer: he seems to have decided that King Charles I was taking too much of the family income via taxes. Later, it seems our Benjamin, living in the colonies, may not quite have agreed with King George III's Stamp Act of 1765 (and a few others: sugar tax, currency, etc.), thus leading to his participation in the Revolutionary War a few years later.
If any of you should travel to Michigan in the future, for research at the Library or simply to visit Benjamin's final resting place (he was moved to Forest Hill from another site), we would love to meet any 'new' cousins.
*James Woodruff (b. 1722, Elizabethtown, NJ) was the son of Benjamin Woodruff (1684-1726) and Susanna (1686-1727), both of whom were born and died in Elizabethtown, NJ.
While, the men who served in the Revolutionary War are remembered with profound gratitude for their heroic sacrifices, it's easy to forget that behind them stood an army of highly productive and devoted women: wives, sisters, grandmothers and daughters—women who strove to support the War efforts of their beloved, while keeping the home fires burning. How comforted the men must have been by this knowledge.
One such woman was Elizabeth Depui Brodhead, wife of the famous Colonel Daniel Brodhead and sister-in-law to my fifth great-grandfather Garret. A wonderful bit of biographical detail about Elizabeth can be found on pages 22-23 of Some Pennsylvania Women during the War of the Revolution, by William Henry Engle, MD (Harrisburg, PA: Harrisburg Publishing Co., 1898), and I am including it below. While much has been written about the Colonel, this is the first information I've found that sheds a tiny bit of light on Elizabeth. If you are aware of other examples, please share in the comment box below.
Elizabeth Depui, youngest daughter of Nicholas Depui, was born in 1740* in what is now Monroe county Pa. She was a descendant from Nicholas Depui, a Huguenot who fled from France to Holland in the year 1685 at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Little is known of her early childhood. She received a pretty fair education at one of the Dutch schools in New York, but the major portion of her youthful days were spent on the frontiers of civilization, the wily savage ever hovering around the settlements of the Minisink. On more than one occasion she was obliged to flee to either the blockhouses or the more populous settlements for safety.
Shortly after her marriage she accompanied her husband to the town of Reading where she made her home until after the promulgation of peace. During that trying period the care of a young family was hers, and yet among that coterie of bright and heroic women of the Revolution who were in exile in Reading she shone with lustre. Nothing was too great for her to undertake and her patriotic ardor was always aroused for the welfare of the soldier of the Declaration. She administered to the comfort of the sick and wounded who found their way after convalescence to their several homes upon the frontiers. In those days, the women kept many in clothing as well as the necessaries of life. Help was needed everywhere, and as we of the present day minister to our troops from our abundance, the women of the Revolution did the same out of their poverty. It is true they accomplished much more than we at this distance of time can either appreciate or calculate. Theirs was a day of self denial.
They delighted in homespun dresses while luxuries were prepared only for the sick and loving who were battling for the rights of mankind and the independence of their country. And yet we must honor the women of all crises in the history of our beloved land who lead in every philanthropic work to alleviate distress. Their forbears during the struggle for independence were animated by that enlarged patriotic spirit which will enshrine their names to the latest posterity. It was so eminently characteristic of them that a British officer, a prisoner of war, remarked that no soldiers whose mothers, wives, and daughters were so devoted to the cause and so self sacrificing could ever be conquered. Mrs. Brodhead died in the city of Philadelphia toward the close of the year 1799*, but exact date with place of burial have not been ascertained.
I'd love to find more such biographical detail on other women relevant to the families covered within this blog. If anyone has other examples to share, please get in touch/leave a comment. Meanwhile, you can check the list below to see whether any of your female Pennsylvania ancestors were also featured in this book.
NB: Depui is spelled in many different ways (visit Depuy Surname History for a rundown).
This striking black and white image of Mary Brodhead Pike comes from Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Volume 52 (Jan. 1918), p. 678.
Mary, daughter of Reverend John Brodhead and Mary Dodge, died on May 17, 1922, at the age of 106, and was buried in Locust Grove Cemetery, Newfields, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire.
The photo was ...taken the day after her 101st birthday, and is a very good likeness, but it does not express the charm of this intellectual gentlewoman. For 101, she looks remarkable!
The article mentions a DAR meeting taking place at Mary's house in July of Mary's 103rd year. What an honor it would have been to be a guest in her home.
Mrs. Pike at the age of 106 years is active in mind, keen and witty in conversation and gracious in manner. A few years ago this Magazine published a likeness of Mrs. Pike which holds good. She seems not to have changed mentally or physically except that a recent fall has confined her to her room.
Her health is good, she is cheerful and strong in her faith in God, and in her love for humanity. Granite Chapter would like to know if any other Chapter can claim so old a Daughter.
I, for one, would have loved to have been among those who got to sit down with Mary in her later years to hear her discuss her life experiences. As a member of the DAR, she would have been someone extremely interested in family history and the history of our great country.
Luke* was wholeheartedly devoted to the cause of independence and was a devoted friend to General Lafayette. Wounds received in battle and in prison eventually forced him to retire from active duty after spending the winter in Valley Forge.
Luke's son Rev. John Brodhead**, an ordained Methodist minister, and Mary Dodge, were Mary Rebecca Brodhead Pike's parents. In 1809, the parents ultimately settled in Newfields, New Hampshire, and that is where Mary was born.
Rev. John Brodhead served in the NH State Senate from 1817-1827, and was a member of Congress from 1829-1833. John and Mary Dodge Brodhead had twelve children: Daniel Dodge Brodhead, John Montgomery Brodhead, Elizabeth Harrison Brodhead, Ann Mudge Brodhead, Joseph Crawford Brodhead, Mehitabel Smith Brodhead, George Hamilton Brodhead, Mary Rebecca Brodhead, Olive Brodhead, Brevet Brigadier General Thornton Fleming Brodhead, Col. Josiah Adams Brodhead, and Almena Cutter Brodhead.
The Reverend was not the only parent who led a remarkable life. His wife Mary Dodge Brodhead's September 5, 1875's obituary in the New York Times stated that she conversed and shook hands with every President of the United States, from George Washington on down. With the martyr President Lincoln, she was on terms of great familiarity.
Of their children, Brig. Gen. Thornton Fleming Brodhead is particularly well known, for his service in the Civil War. He was mortally wounded at Bull Run after heroically leading his men into battle. George Hamilton Brodhead was once president of the NYSE. John Montgomery Brodhead served as second controller of the US Treasury, Joseph Crawford Brodhead was a Deputy Naval Officer, and Josiah Adams Brodhead was Paymaster in the US Army.
Mary Rebecca Brodhead (subject of this post) married Rev. James Pike***, who similarly to Mary's father started out as a Methodist clergyman but later entered politics. James also served in the Civil War as a Colonel in New Hampshire's 16th Infantry.
Mary and James had three children: James Thornton Pike (1841-1911), Anna Gertrude Pike Kendall (1844-1926), and Mary Brodhead Pike (1855-1855).
In closing, I'll just say that there is a wealth of information available about this family line both online and in the Brodhead Family History volumes; I can't really do justice to it here, and since it's not my direct line, I don't know how soon I will likely be returning to it. For anyone interested, the Brodhead Family History volumes may be available at your local library, particularly if you live in the Northeast, or through interlibrary loan. You can also purchase individual volumes from The DePuy / Brodhead Family Association (find them on Facebook).
Have a great day, all! As, always, comments, corrections, and additions welcome.

The city of Elizabeth, New Jersey's birthplace and a crossroads of the American Revolution, celebrates its 350th anniversary this year. The GoElizabethNJ website is dedicated to the city's 2014 celebrations which appear to culminate in an historical reenactment in October. They hope to attract to their celebrations many of those whose roots hail back to that era of New Jersey's history. There are millions of us out here, and you may be one of them!
The Timothy Woodruff house article was published in the Elizabeth Daily Journal on 21 November 1964. In the event you are a Woodruff descendant, I am including it here. Published almost 50 years ago during Elizabeth's 300th anniversary year, the article is probably hard to dig up online. So I will save you a trip to the Elizabeth library :-), where it is no doubt available in their archives. At the time the article was written, the house had been out of the Woodruff family for four years. Its last owner, my 2nd great grandfather Francis Woodruff's niece Carrie Woodruff (89 yrs old in 1964, daughter of Ogden Woodruff and Phebe Bonnell, and a sister of Rev. Frank Stiles Woodruff) had moved out and gone to to live in a rest home in nearby Cranford.
It goes without saying that there is much to glean from an article like this. I hope you will find it of interest, and if you have anything to add or share, please do. (For some links to online material pertaining to the Woodruffs, visit my Links page and scroll down to the bottom.) Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
The Daily Journal, Elizabeth, NJ, 21 November 1964, p. 1.
I was a bit premature to publish the last post because today I came upon a wonderful image of the Brodhead homestead tucked away in a box of old pictures. I've used Photoshop to remove the yellowing. The image must date back to the early 1900s/late 1800s when Robert Packer Brodhead owned it. Apparently, he added the third floor. So here is how the home and immediate surrounding would have looked all those years ago when the property was a very productive and busy farm. The stage coach would have passed right out front, beyond the white picket fence.
Update, 8/9/13: Another great photo can be found in the book: Eastern Poconos: Delaware Water Gap to Bushkill (p. 126). For a recent blog post that includes info on an archeological dig on the Brodhead farm site (aka Brodhead-Heller farm), click here.
Sadly, the 21st century is not treating the farm kindly. For more on that, click here.
I was very saddened to come across a March 2012 photo on the website Flickr showing the sad state of "Wheat Plains," the old Brodhead homestead located in Pike County, Pennsylvania, 14 miles below Milford. The original home was built by Garret Brodhead (1733-1804) after he finished serving in the Revolutionary War, and it was added to over the years. To view the photo, click here.
"Wheat Plains" was once a vibrant and busy farm. In 1791, Hon. Richard B. Brodhead Sr., one of Garret's sons, moved to the farm and he resided there until a few years before his death in 1843. Richard's son Albert Gallatin Brodhead was born on the farm in 1799, and purchased it in 1838 from his father, and Albert lived there until 1865, when he moved to Bethlehem where his only son Charles resided. The property left the Brodhead family in 1871 but came back into Brodhead hands when Robert Packer Brodhead bought the property in 1894. He was the son of Andrew Jackson Brodhead and Ophelia Easton, grandson of Garret Brodhead and Cornelia Dingman, great grandson of Hon. Richard B. Brodhead Sr. and Hannah Drake.
The home remained in Brodhead hands until the 1960s. I recall my parents saying they had met one of the owners at the Brodhead Family Reunion (celebrating 300 years since Captain Daniel Brodhead and his wife Ann Tye set foot on American soil) held in upstate New York in 1964. The house and surrounding land are now within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area which was established by President Johnson in 1965. Though apparently renovated in 2000 by the National Park Service, current owners, I can only assume that its now blighted condition is a result of this bad economy. There must not be any funds available to renovate it. Very sad. Were it in private hands, I suspect it would probably be in much better condition.
For a post showing the property in happier times, click here.

Update: This Flickr photo taken in winter 2013 indicates the house was still in disrepair, sadly.
Last year I wrote a couple of posts about the David Wait family of Perth Amboy, NJ. This past weekend, I came across details from David Wait's will dated October 29, 1810, written 14 days before his death at age 56. As you may recall, David was a carpenter and was involved in the construction of Perth Amboy's first Presbyterian Church. To read the previous posts about David and his family, click on Oct. 5 & 7, 2011, in the calendar/archives on the left side of this blog.
When the will was written, David's wife Irene was deceased, having passed away six years previously at age 39, and the children ranged in age from 9-23. The eldest, David and John, were bequeathed all the tools and implements of my trade to be equally divided between them according to their value.(John is the son from whom I am descended).
Daughter, Margaret, my brindle cow, bed, bedding, 2 chairs, 1 chest, 4 looking glasses (one of which is in trust for each of her sisters, Catherine, Agnes, and Sarah). Said daughter, Margaret, the house and lot in Perth Amboy, which I bought of the late Sophia Terrill, to be occupied by her as a home for herself and all of my younger children, to wit, Joseph, Catherine, Agnes, Sarah, William, and Phillip, until they reach age 21 or are married; and when youngest is 21, executors to dispose of said house and lot, and proceeds to be divided between children, or their heirs, equally. Executors to hold in trust the new house and lots belonging thereunto (in which I now live), to rent or to be sold and profits or proceeds used for support and education of my children.
Daughter Margaret certainly had her work cut out for her, but she had probably already been raising her younger siblings for some time given the tragic loss of mother Irene (Bell) Wait some years prior. One name here that stands out in particular is that of witness Andrew Bell. This may have been a brother of Irene's. Irene's ancestors have been a mystery to me so far, so maybe I can find something out by researching Andrew. Hopefully this is a promising clue!
Most of these are on Find a Grave, as I recall, however, one that stood out for me was "Brodhead (RW), Daniel." If you go to the site, you'll see a photo of the monument for Brig. Gen. Daniel Brodhead who was mentioned in previous posts. It's in the Milford Cemetery in PA, and is dedicated to Daniel and his 1st wife, Elizabeth DePuy (sometimes spelled "DePui"), and 2nd wife, Rebecca Mifflin. A photo of the monument has yet to appear on Find a Grave, so this PA website is worth knowing about.
As for Daniel's heirs, I'm not sure what to make of writings by Luke Wills Brodhead (The Delaware Water Gap: Its Legends and Early History, Philadelphia: Sherman Co. Printers, 1870), who said Daniel "left several daughters, and one son, named Daniel, who died when a young man." First, off the bat, I will say that I'll leave son Daniel to another post since there is a bit of a story to him. Second, I have yet to come across any evidence of more daughters. Ann Garton Brodhead (b. 12 February 1758, m. Casper Heiner in 1779) was–as far as I can see–his only daughter. She and her husband had five children: John Heiner (b. 1780), Rebecca Johnson Heiner (recipient of her grandfather Daniel Brodhead's "miniature picture set in gold"), Margaret Heiner, Catherine H. Heiner (recipient of her grandfather Daniel Brodhead's "small portrait picture"), and Mary Heiner.
When the Revolutionary War was over, Daniel was given several thousand acres of land in western Pennsylvania as reward for his outstanding military service. He also purchased land in Virginia, Kentucky, and Western PA. Walker's bio says that he concentrated his purchases in the vicinity of Kittanning (to the northeast of Pittsburgh) and on the Allegheny (River), "the scenes of his former exploits, which he never ceased to love." All of his lands were left to Ann Garton Brodhead Heiner upon his death, and from her all the lands passed to her only son, John Heiner.

Here's a variant cover I did for issue #5 of the Adventure Time comic book! Adventure Time is just the greatest show, I was so tickled to get to kind of wallow in it for a couple days. Only now I can't stop drawing all my own characters with Pen Ward chins.
Thanks, Nicole! It's not actually screenprinted. I did each color on a separate layer in photoshop. I'm glad you like it!
Where can you buy this variant cover?
I'm not sure! I think comic shops get the variants if they order enough copies?
Fantastic colour choices, and I love the way you've played with shapes here - love it!
Thanks! It's just 100% C + M + Y + K all layered together! It was really fun to do.

Some 85 percent of refugees in Dadaab have been receiving reduced rations since June 2105 because of significant funding shortfalls. While we have been able to resume full food rations for smaller families, WFP is still only able to provide 70 percent of the normal food ration to households in Dadaab with 3 or more people. Further resources are urgently needed to avert deeper cuts. When refugees receive less food, they may skip or eat smaller meals in order to make their supplies last until the next distribution. Some may go into debt, borrowing food or money from neighbours or local money lenders. If ration cuts carry on for too long, they could compromise the refugees food consumption, nutrition and health.

Click on the banner below to learn how to get a trial offer of Upper Stewiacke foreclosure listings.
How can I find foreclosures in Upper Stewiacke?
This saves me a considerable amount of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for hours looking at different Realtors websites sifting through houses in Upper Stewiacke that are not really foreclosures or don't fit what I am searching for.
Other options for finding foreclosed apartments is to contact your local bank to see if they are holding properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that concentrates in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list which ever property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure buying process so you need to be enlightened before going in.
How to buy a bank owned house in Upper Stewiacke with bad credit.
Let me start off by saying that investing in a foreclosed house in Upper Stewiacke with bad credit is conceivable!
To begin with, you have the option to buy a house for cash at a real estate auction. Your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not taking out a loan. Not everyone has this kind of money lying around though so lets consider other options.
Research federal home buying programs. There are many programs out there again to help those with low salaries or poor credit to buy properties.
Search for houses in Upper Stewiacke and search for loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a moderately higher interest rate as a result of your lower credit score. You should be able to refinance in a number of years after making on time payments to obtain a lower rate.
How you can buy a foreclosed condo in Upper Stewiacke, NS.
Next, find condos in Upper Stewiacke, NS that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that is skilled in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the method of buying.
How long does it take to buy a bank owned home in Upper Stewiacke?
This relies on how you are buying the residence. Properties that are obtained in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to transfer to the bank and the title to be completed. Personally, I have had properties transfer to me within three days.
Foreclosed houses are usually sold "as is," indicating the bank is not willing to make any repairs before offering the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to fix. Sometimes the repairs are small-scale and other times they are significant.
Often a foreclosed property in Upper Stewiacke NS has sat uninhabited for a while so maintenance has been neglected and will need to be dealt with immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has changed to a new owner doesn't mean that all issues have vanished. This is the importance of having a title search done well before buying a property since liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could inherit them without knowing it.
Dealing with banks is an automated process and usually handled by computers and not actual people. This can be annoying for you the buyer but it is what it is. Ultimately if you are persistent the bank will likely cave if they have no other offers because they understand they need to transfer the property quickly.
Are Upper Stewiacke repo homes good or bad?
This all depends upon your goals and the risk level that you are willing to accept. If you want to take on the prospective repairs yourself and not count on the bank to pay for them then this is a great deal!

Study: 100 percent of Oat Cereals Tested Positive for Residues of Glyphosate, the Active Ingredient in Roundup that Causes Terminal Cancerherbicide
October 24, 2018 (updated December 27, 2019) Published by Lee Floyd
A second round of tests commissioned by EWG, published on October 24, 2018, found the glyphosate in every sample of popular oat-based cereal and other oat-based food marketed to children that we tested. See the new results here.
Popular oat cereals, oatmeal, granola and snack bars come with a hefty dose of the weed-killing poison in Roundup, according to independent laboratory tests commissioned by EWG.
Glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer by California state scientists and the World Health Organization, was found in all but two of 45 samples of products made with conventionally grown oats. Almost three-fourths of those samples had glyphosate levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective of children's health with an adequate margin of safety. About one-third of 16 samples made with organically grown oats also had glyphosate, all at levels well below EWG's health benchmark.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the Monsanto weed killer that is the most heavily used pesticide in the U.S. Last week, a California jury ordered Monsanto to pay $289 million in damages to a man dying of cancer, which he says was caused by his repeated exposure to large quantities of Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers while working as a school groundskeeper.
EWG tested more than a dozen brands of oat-based foods to give Americans information about dietary exposures that government regulators are keeping secret. In April, internal emails obtained by the nonprofit US Right to Know revealed that the Food and Drug Administration has been testing food for glyphosate for two years and has found "a fair amount," but the FDA has not released its findings.

Each year, more than 250 million pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops, primarily on "Roundup-ready" corn and soybeans genetically engineered to withstand the herbicide. But when it comes to the food we eat, the highest glyphosate levels are not found in products made with GMO corn.
Increasingly, glyphosate is also sprayed just before harvest on wheat, barley, oats and beans that are not genetically engineered. Glyphosate kills the crop, drying it out so that it can be harvested sooner than if the plant were allowed to die naturally.
Roundup was produced for decades by Monsanto, which this year merged with the German pharmaceutical company Bayer AG. In the case decided last week, the jury found that Monsanto knew for decades of the product's hazards and not only failed to warn customers, but schemed to publicly discredit the evidence. The California case that ended Friday was the first of reportedy thousands of lawsuits against Monsanto. These suits have been brought by farm workers and others who allege that they developed cancer from years of exposure to Roundup.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, reviewed extensive U.S., Canadian and Swedish epidemiological studies on glyphosate's human health effects, as well as research on laboratory animals. The IARC classified the chemical as probably carcinogenic to humans, and has steadfastly defended that decision despite ongoing attacks by Monsanto.
In 2017, California listed glyphosate in its Proposition 65 registry of chemicals known to cause cancer. The state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, or OEHHA, has proposed a so-called No Significant Risk Level for glyphosate of 1.1 milligrams per day for an average adult of about 154 pounds. That level of exposure is more than 60 times lower than the safety level set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
California's level represents an increased lifetime risk of cancer of one in 100,000 for an average adult. But for many cancer-causing drinking water contaminants, OEHHA's lifetime risk factor is set at one in 1 million. Additionally, because children and developing fetuses have increased susceptibility to carcinogens, the federal Food Quality Protection Act supports including an additional 10-fold margin of safety. With this additional children's health safety factor, EWG calculated that a one-in-a-million cancer risk would be posed by ingestion of 0.01 milligrams of glyphosate per day.
To reach this maximum dose, one would only have to eat a single 60-gram serving1 of food with a glyphosate level of 160 parts per billion, or ppb. The majority of samples of conventional oat products from EWG's study exceeded 160ppb, meaning that a single serving of those products would exceed EWG's health benchmark. As part of a glyphosate risk assessment, the EPA estimated potential highest dietary exposure levels for children and adults. The EPA has calculated that 1-to-2-year-old children are likely to have the highest exposure, at a level twice greater than California's No Significant Risk Level and 230 times EWG's health benchmark.
Studies suggest that glyphosate-sprayed crops such as wheat and oats are a major contributor to glyphosate in the daily diet. In EWG lab tests, 31 of 45 samples made with conventionally grown oats had 160 ppb or more of glyphosate.
3 tests averaged 497 parts per billion.
The highest levels, greater than 1,000 ppb, were detected in two samples of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats. Three samples of Cheerios had glyphosate levels ranging from 470 ppb to 530 ppb. Twelve of the food samples had levels of glyphosate lower than EWG's health benchmark, ranging from 10 ppb to 120 ppb. Only two samples had no detectable glyphosate.
Glyphosate was also detected at concentrations of 10 ppb to 30 ppb in five of 16 samples made with organic oats. The five samples came from two brands of organic rolled oats: Bob's Red Mill and Nature's Path. A third brand of organic rolled oats and all other organic oat products tested did not contain detectable concentrations of glyphosate.
How does glyphosate get into organic foods? It could come from glyphosate drifting from nearby fields of conventionally grown crops, or by cross-contamination during processing at a facility that also handles non-organic crops. Nature's Path explains:
While organic farming certifications prohibit the use of glyphosate, organic products do not always end up completely free of glyphosate residue. While this news may come as disappointing, it is not entirely surprising. Glyphosate use has skyrocketed in the past decade, and it maintains the ability to adhere to water and soil particles long enough to travel through the air or in a stream to nearby organic farms.
The problem of glyphosate contamination of organic foods underscores the need to restrict pre-harvest uses of glyphosate and the need for more data on glyphosate levels in products, an area where U.S. federal agencies are falling short.
Two years ago, under pressure from the Government Accountability Office, the FDA began testing for glyphosate in a limited number of foods. At the 2016 North American Chemical Residue Workshop, an FDA scientist presented data showing that glyphosate has been detected in several oat-based food products.
After a Freedom of Information Act request by US Right to Know, earlier this year the FDA released documents that said the agency has found "a fair amount" of glyphosate in several processed foods. The results have not been released, but could be made public later this year or in early 2019.
The EPA has calculated that 1-to-2-year-old children are likely to have the highest exposure, at a level 2x greater than California's No Significant Risk Level and 230x EWG's health benchmark.
In 2016, the non-profit Food Democracy Now tested for glyphosate in single samples of a variety of popular foods. "Alarming levels" of glyphosate were found in a number of cereals and other products, including more than 1,000 ppb in Cheerios. More recently, the Center for Environmental Health tested single samples of 11 cereal brands and found glyphosate levels ranging from about 300 ppb to more than 2,000 ppb.
EPA has denied that glyphosate may increase the risk of cancer, and documents introduced in the recent California trial showed how the agency and Monsanto worked together to promote the claim that the chemical is safe. EWG has been urging the EPA to review all evidence linking glyphosate to increased cancer risk and other adverse health effects in human and animal studies. The EPA should limit the use of glyphosate on food crops, including pre-harvest application.
Oat-based foods are a healthy source of fiber and nutrients for children and adults, and oat consumption is linked to health benefits such as lowered cholesterol and decreased cardiovascular risk. Parents should not have to wonder whether feeding their children these heathy foods will also expose them to a pesticide that increases the risk of cancer.
Glyphosate does not belong in cereal. Act and urge the EPA to restrict pre-harvest applications of glyphosate and tell companies to identify and use sources of glyphosate-free oats.
Federal dietary data shows that nutrition labels on packaged foods often list a serving size much smaller than what people actually eat. Sixty grams is about two cups of Cheerios or ¾ cup of Quaker's Old Fashioned Oats.

Do you fear sharing about your faith in Jesus with a non-Christian? Do you fear speaking publicly about important issues from your perspective as a Christian?
These are issues pertinent anywhere in the world, but they somehow seem amplified in Singapore, the country that regularly tops Pew's Religious Diversity Index.
Religious Diversity Index. Source: Pew Research Centre.
So what can Singapore Christians do or not do in practising and propagating their faith? While the boundaries are by no means clear, there are several key legal and quasi-legal principles and rules which form the framework to navigate this question. There have also been various examples which the Government has used to highlight clearer out-of-bounds markers.
This discussion sets out what I think the position is now, and not what I think it ought to be. We should also note that social-political conditions change over time; nothing is set in stone. With that, let's consider the key principles and rules.
Article 15(1) of the Singapore Constitution states that every "person has the right to profess and practise his religion and to propagate it." However, there can be laws relating to "public order, public health or morality" limiting this right, and indeed there are.
Article 14(1) of the Constitution states that "every citizen of Singapore has the right to freedom of speech and expression". Parliament may enact laws to restrict this for national security, public order, morality, or for prohibiting defamation or incitement to offences (among other things).
In sum: A Christian can profess, practise and propagate your faith privately and publicly. You can evangelise to anyone. You can express worship to God. However, there are of course legal limits.
exciting disaffection against the President or the Government while, or under the guise of, propagating or practising any religious belief.
The Internal Security Act (ISA) empowers the Government to detain any person to prevent him from acting in any manner prejudicial to Singapore's security or the maintenance of public order or essential services.
The Sedition Act makes it an offence "to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Singapore".
The Penal Code has further relevant offences. Section 298 prohibits anyone from deliberately "wounding the religious or racial feelings of any person" by speaking, making sounds, gesturing, placing any object in the sight of a person, or causing any matter to be seen or heard by a person.
Section 298A criminalises a person who "knowingly promotes or attempts to promote, on grounds of religion or race, disharmony or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different religious or racial groups" by words, signs, visible representations or otherwise, or who knowingly does anything "prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between different religious or racial groups and which disturbs or is likely to disturb the public tranquility".
Finally, the Parliamentary debates on the above legislation and the MRHA White Paper set out further guidance on what the Government considers to be no-go boundaries in this area. I would point out that it is not clear whether "religion" in the above laws includes atheistic worldviews. While the Court has defined "religion" in another context to mean beliefs relating to God, it is not clear that definition applies to the above laws, especially since some strands of certain religions do not necessarily involve belief in God.
There have been various cases over the years which reveal how the Government applies the above principles and rules.
In the recent Amos Yee case (Public Prosecutor v Amos Yee Pang Sang, 2015; Decision ex temporare), the teenage video blogger was convicted under Section 298 of the Penal Code for the remarks in his video comparing Lee Kuan Yew with Jesus, saying "they are both power hungry and malicious, but deceive others into thinking that they are compassionate and kind. Their impact and legacy will ultimately not last as more and more people find out that they're full of bull".
The blogger called followers of both "completely delusional and ignorant and have absolutely no sound logic or knowledge about him that is grounded in reality".
In the Chick Publication Tracts case (PP v Ong Kian Cheong, 2009), a Christian couple was charged under the Sedition Act (among other things) for distributing comic tracts published by Chick Publications which were deemed seditious and to have promoted feelings of ill-will between Christians and Muslims. Unfortunately, we do not know from the decision what exactly about these tracts were denigrating.
In the Andrew Kiong case (decision unreported, see Page 43 of Bias and religious truth-seeking in proselytisation restrictions), Kiong was convicted under Section 298A of the Penal Code for injuring religious feelings of another person by leaving envelope-sized cards on the windshields of cars that he believed belonged to those of another faith, which contained questions that were calculated to insult them.
In the 2005 Bloggers cases, three bloggers were convicted under the Sedition Act for posting online comments against other races (see Public Prosecutor v Benjamin Koh Song Huat, 2005; Public Prosecutor v Lim Yew Nicholas, 2005; Public Prosecutor v Gan Huai Shi, 2005, from Page 39 in Bias and religious truth-seeking in proselytisation restrictions; Page 120 of Kerstein steiner religion and politics in Singapore; and Page 219 of Maintaining Religious Harmony).
In the case of Benjamin Koh, he "spewed vulgarities, derided and mocked their customs and beliefs and profaned their religion".
In the case concerning Pastor Rony Tan of Lighthouse Evangelism Church (see Page 44 of Bias and religious truth-seeking in proselytisation restrictions), the Internal Security Department (ISD) investigated video clips of Pastor Tan in his church service interviewing people who had converted to Christianity from other religions, a segment which led to laughter from the congregation. He also compared the efforts of someone from another religion to seek answers from his mentors as "the blind leading the blind".
The Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement that the comments were "highly inappropriate and unacceptable as they trivialised and insulted" others' beliefs, which could give rise to tension and conflict between the faiths. ISD told Pastor Tan that in preaching or proselytising his faith, he must not run down other religions, and must be mindful of the sensitivities of other religions.
Eventually, the situation was defused after the clips were removed, and Pastor Tan made a public apology and personally visited the religious leaders of the other faiths.
In another ISD investigation concerning Pastor Mark Ng of New Creation Church, (see Page 46 of Bias and religious truth-seeking in proselytisation restrictions), a video was posted online by someone else (not the church) in which he can be heard joking with the congregation about traditional rituals; in one instance, he compared praying to the gods of other faiths to "seeking protection from secret society gangsters".
He subsequently apologised and the church sought to have the video removed.
There have been reportedly three occasions when the Government considered invoking the MRHA: First, when a Muslim leader urged Muslims to vote for a Muslim candidate in a General Election; second, when a Christian pastor used his church publications and sermons to criticise Buddhism, Taoism and Catholicism; and third, when an Islamic religious leader condemned Hindu beliefs (Nirmala, Govt Reins in Religious Leaders, The Straits Times, May 12, 2001, cited in Kerstin Steiner, Religion and Politics in Singapore: Matters of National Identity and Security, A Case Study of the Muslim Minority in a Secular State, Osaka University Law Review 58 Pages 107 to 134; see Page 119 of Kerstein Steiner: Religion and Politics in Singapore).
Evangelism to anyone and everyone is clearly permitted by the Constitution. What the laws seek to prevent is "insensitive, aggressive religious proselytisation". It is perfectly permissible to point out differences between one's religion and another's. The Penal Code criminalises speech which deliberately promotes ill-will between religions.
Article 15(1) of the Singapore Constitution.
The Government has clarified that a person writing an article based on facts, notwithstanding that it may be racially or religiously sensitive, will not likely be caught; a critical but rational and objective discussion of religion and religious principles will also not likely be caught.
Similarly, a person may share his testimony of his conversion from one religion to another on the Internet, stating how he found fulfilment and meaning in life after he converted to the other religion, without denigrating another person's religion (see Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs Assoc Prof Ho Peng Kee's statements in the Parliamentary Debate on the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill).
But is an entirely different matter to denounce other religions in the process. (See the comments from Prof S Jayakumar, then Minister for Home Affairs, in Column 1050 of the Second Reading of the Religious Harmony Bill in 1990). So, for example, we should not say another religion is a "threat" or say that a particular person in another religion is "the anti-Christ" or suggest that some particular belief or practice of another religion is from the devil.
Or, in simple terms: You should promote your own faith without putting down any other faith.
Pasting posters or distributing Christian pamphlets about a Christian seminar at the entrance of a temple of another faith.
Trying to convert students who felt depressed after failing their examination.
Pamphlets describing the Pope as "Communist" and the "anti-Christ".
One other example cited: Trying to convert critically-ill patients on their death beds without regard to their vulnerabilities or sensitivities of their relatives. This does not mean we cannot minister to people who are vulnerable. Indeed, all the more when they are in need, we should meet them where they are and be with them!
The point is that where there are sensitivities and vulnerabilities, we should minister, and not attempt to convert, especially where the person has no desire to be converted.
But if the person is then interested to hear your views, you are free to share, preach, and lead the person to faith (see Assoc Prof Ho Peng Kee's comments in the 2007 Parliamentary Debate on the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill).
While the MRHA is intended to prevent the conflation of religion and politics, this does not mean that religious leaders cannot participate in politics, campaign for or against the Government or any political party, or be involved in any action relating to public policy.
What it means is that they must do so in their capacity as individual citizens and not as religious leaders (see Parliamentary Debate on the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Bill and the MRHA white paper, paragraph 22). Indeed, there are and have been elders of churches who have held political offices.
What is clearly a no-go, however, would be to use one's religious office to push for or against a political candidate solely based on religion.
Urging workers in a sermon to stand up for their rights to press for wage increases and to vote "with their eyes wide open" in the General Election.
Further, the Government has stated that it is "neither possible nor desirable to compartmentalise completely the minds of voters into secular and religious halves, and ensure that only the secular mind influences his voting behaviour" (MRHA white paper, paragraph 24) It is an explicit statement that people vote and make political decisions based on both religious grounds and non-religious grounds.
So both Scripture and law accept that our religious and ethical values should be considered when participating in the democratic processes as citizens.
Yet, does this mean that religious leaders cannot teach on issues which are matters of public policy? Not at all. Given how extensive legislation and policies are in touching various aspects of our private and public lives, if that were the case, then religious leaders would not be able to teach on almost anything!
Instead, the Government has made clear that religious leaders can teach on issues regarding ethics and conscience such as abortion (MRHA white paper, paragraph 26a).
The Government also recognises that religious or ethical beliefs have political and social implications, and its intent is not to determine whether such beliefs are right or wrong (MRHA white paper, paragraph 27).
I end with the questions I started with: Do you fear sharing about your faith in Jesus with a non-Christian? Do you fear speaking publicly about important issues from your perspective as a Christian?
I once feared all this. Yet God's Word compels me to do it. And the laws of Singapore permit me to – to the extent that I speak about my faith sensitively, winsomely and without denigrating other religions. So what have I to fear but the tyranny of criticism?
As a Christian who is also a lawyer, Ronald JJ Wong believes in access to justice for all. Burdened for the common good of society, he advocates for the marginalised and volunteers pro bono for the less privileged.
Why was I born into a dysfunctional family?


You are browsing the archive for Arkansas, Child Protective Services, CPS, family rights, Louisiana | My.Kidjacked.com.
My name is R.W. I am a mother involved with DCFS in Louisiana. The incident that set all this in motion happened in Arkansas and is still in the process of being transferred to this state.
The judge in the parish we are having the case transferred to has already verbally agreed to take the case and actually from my understanding, has already signed the necessary paperwork to complete the process BUT I am finding it so difficult to get DCFS to act accordingly.
I have done and am still meeting all the requirements set forth by the judge and DCFS but I have yet been able to receive unsupervised visits. It has been 13 weeks and 4 days since the incident and we are still running on the same case plan we received within a few days of the worst night of my life.
Do you have any resources or information I could use to help me determine if DCFS is not acting in the best interest of my daughter? She needs her Mommy and since we have had to relocate to Louisiana from Illinois, she needs to get better acquainted with her new home. I don't know why they won't allow unsupervised visits, both my husband and I have had numerous clean drug screens and continue to go to counseling and outside meetings.
I feel so helpless I've been referred to a shrink for antidepressants and have lost close to 25 pounds through the amount of stress I'm under. So if you can help please do! I need all the help I can get. There are many more aspects to this case but I am a lazy typist!

 * The LoggerMDC class provides mapped diagnostic contexts.
 *
 *
A Mapped Diagnostic Context, or

 * when a server handles multiple clients near-simultaneously.
 *
 *
This class is similar to the {@link LoggerNDC} class except that
 * it is based on a map instead of a stack.
 *
 *
The MDC is managed on a per thread basis.
 *
 *
Example:
 *
 * {@example ../../examples/php/mdc.php 19}

 *
 * With the properties file:
 *
 * {@example ../../examples/resources/mdc.properties 18}

Fluid Metering Inc (FMI) pioneered the first patented valveless rotating and reciprocating piston precision metering pump concept and has been providing precise fluid metering control for over 50 years. FMI dispensers and metering pumps have been utilised in a broad range of laboratory, analytical, industrial process, and OEM applications requiring precision fluid metering.
With accuracies better than ± 0.5% and consistent precise output with all FMI pumps. Accuracy is held from micro litres to the full flow range. Output does not change more than ± 1% of set value. An important cost saving factor considering the waste generated by inaccurate pumps.
FMI pumps have no valves to clog, leak, hang up or service, maintenance and down time are considerably reduced and with ceramic internals, which are wear and abrasion resistant as well as having corrosion resistant fluid paths, means Superior material stability will provide millions of service free cycles. We now also feature the exciting Zaxis metering pumps which add an additional servo drive to the pump stroke giving the ultimate in controllability, repeatability and accuracy.
LIQUIDYN is a Specialist in Non-Contact Micro Dispensing, Micro Dot Dispensing & Jetting of low to high viscosity materials including SMT Adhesives, Anaerobic Adhesives, Super Glues, Cyanoacrylate Adhesives, 1 and 2 part Epoxies, UV Adhesives, Lacquers, Silicones, Greases, Oils, SMT, Soldering Fluxes, Weak Acids & Alkalis and Ethers to name a few.
LIQUIDYN Micro Dispensing Systems are designed for applications where accurate and repetitive volumes of material need to be dispensed in volumes ranging from 3 nanolitres and up either as repetitive high speed multiple micro dots, beads or fixed volumes. The P-Jet CT Micro Jet Dispenser can deliver an astounding 280 micro dots per second with consistent results..
Zaxis Inc. VariPump™ system combines the user-friendly TSi (Touch Screen Interface) programmable controller and a state-of-the-art FMI metering module. This technology employs extreme tolerance diamond honed ceramic pump components and an electronically controlled linear stepper actuator to make ultra-fine adjustments to pump angle position, thereby changing the quantity of metered liquid. This allows the VariPump™ system to provide enhanced fluidic movement of fluids varying in viscosity and surface tension.
The pump used in the VariPump™ system is a rotating and reciprocating pump design manufactured by FMI. Controlling the synchronized rotating and reciprocating movement allows the TSi controller to accurately maintain the displacement of the piston.
With the piston and the sleeve being manufactured from ceramic, the assembly is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring accuracy and repeatability. This pump design eliminates the need for external supply and discharge valves; the intake port of the pump is never common to the discharge port. The VariPump™ system will change the way industry meters fluids.

In Victorian times there was a plus side to not having technology of which it encouraged families to be together in the form of parlour entertainment of which was basically instead of sitting in front of your television you would all get together and create your own amusement through parlour games or if you were slightly wealthier you could hire an entertainer such as a magician to come into your home .
I have created a parlour show that is available in sussex and surrounding areas of which lasts approx 45 mins to an hour and incorporates magic classics with modern classics .
This was inspired by my visit to New York to see the fabulous chamber magic show of which Steve Cohen creates the Victorian parlour show and insists everyone dresses in there best attire of which the concept works really well and he has fine tuned it to perfection .
If you truly want an evening where the family all actually get together and disconnect with wi fi and connect amongst themselves then this is a perfect opportunity for that apart from you dont need to fly to New york and I can travel to you .
