Newbold Comyn

What's in a name? The Newbold part of the above local name is quite simple, – the 'New' denoting a parcel of land newly brought into cultivation. Whilst 'Bold' is Saxon for a building, the two words together indicate an area of land or village more recently established than the adjacent villages. This could have been waste land, or land carved out of an existing large parish. This process is more common in Warwickshire than elsewhere in England, there being four listed in Domesday, and one, Newbold Regis (aka Kings Newnham) that is not. The 'Newbold' normally acquires the landholder's name, to help distinguish it from the other Newbolds in the locality.
Comyn is just such a name. It is not, as often thought, a 'posh' version of Common, even though the area in question now looks distinctly like common land. More romantically, Comyn is a variation of the family name of a Norman knight from Cominges in south west France, who came over with William the Conqueror in 1066. There is a theory that when William bestowed land and titles on those who supported his fight to claim the English throne, he carefully divided the estates so as to avoid any large power bases becoming a future threat (This had already happened to him in France). Robert de Comminges was accordingly granted part of Northumberland, where he raised an army of a thousand men to take the city of Durham. Local forces fought back, killing de Cominges and all his men, which led to the bloody revenge attack by William known as 'The Harrying of the North' – where whole settlements were laid waste killing an estimated 100,000 and large areas remained deserted for years. This may account for the absence from Domesday of many areas of Northern England, – there was too little left to record.
Not an auspicious start, but the Comyn family survived and they soon became a force to be reckoned with in England, Scotland, and later, Ireland. King David I of Scotland seems to have invited the Comyns and other Norman knights into his kingdom to help defeat various enemies, a disastrous error of judgement, as mercenaries often do not want to return home when the job has been done. The Scottish branch of the Comyn family became powerful players in Scottish politics, even contenders for the crown at one point, until Red Comyn, son of Black Comyn was killed by Robert the Bruce, who went on to take the crown.
Newbold Comyn, in Domesday is recorded as having 5 Hides of land (1 Hide is generally thought to be sufficient land to support 1 family) Newbold was divided between two landlords: 3 Hides were held by Malmesbury Abbey, the gift of the former owner Wulfwine, to enable him to retire to the Abbey as a monk. The remaining 2 were held by the Count of Meulan, a major landowner in Warwickshire.
Elias Comyn acquired the village in about 1160, through marriage to Joan, ward of the Abbot of Malmesbury, and the Comyn connection lasted for three generations, until the death of Elias' grandson John, in Ireland in 1200.

Eventually Newbold Comyn came into the possession of the monks of Stonely (Stoneleigh) Abbey, until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when the land was granted to James Cruce of Kenilworth. James Cruce sold the holding to William Murcote of Leamington and Richard Willes of Ufton. It seems that these two families intermarried, thereby taking charge of the whole estate, a situation that lasted until recent times. Dugdale claims that "There are here four farm houfes [houses], each distinct Lords within themselves", but there is now little trace of four farm houses. One remains, and that serves as a public house. Newbold Comyn became the Willes family estate, and remained in the hands until July 1943, when the farm was purchased by two town councillors, Messrs Davidson and Purnell, for the sum of £28,300. They appear to have been acting on behalf of the council, because they then sold on to the council for the same amount. The creation of a golf course and leisure facilities has created the equivalent of a common. Hence the confusion over the name.

Of the original village, nothing remains apart from the solitary farm house. Similarly, there is no evidence as to the reasons for the de-population of Newbold Comyn. The only clue to possible sites of habitation is the presence of water, – two or maybe three streams dribbling towards the Leam. Their current size need not mean that the streams were always small: changes in the water table have led to many flowing streams becoming inconspicuous ditches.
The sale of the estate led to the Willes family leaving Leamington. Newbold Comyn house was left to the vandals, as was the nearby Newbold Beeches house, – two fine family homes unable to find a purpose in the modern world. All that is left is the name of a mediaeval knight adorning a golf course and a public open space.

Description: ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Denis and Sandi Inman To: mikez0978@sbcglobal.net Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2018 03:56:01 PM PST Subject: Upcoming PV4W Trail Runs On Saturday, February 2nd, we will be doing out traditional Afton Canyon run highlighted by the deep water crossing of the Mojave River and a stop at Traveler's Monument (bring a rock to add). The Afton Canyon run includes a portion of the Mojave Trail that will lead up to: The Mojave Trail run to Laughlin beginning Monday, February 11th. We will arrive in Laughlin on Monday evening and enjoy club trail runs in the Laughlin area on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mark your calendars for this one. Starting on Monday, April 1st (this is not an April Fools joke) the Pahrump Valley 4 Wheelers will begin organized trail runs out of Moab, Utah. You may choose to travel on the preceding Saturday and Sunday, or just make a long drive on Sunday, March 31st to be in Moab for the first trail run on Monday. We are planning organized runs for at least the first 3 days, but you may opt to stay longer and enjoy a few more trail runs with others that have the flexibility to stay as well. There are no specific dates yet, but we are also hoping to travel this year to places like Mesquite, Caliente, Austin, Ely and other locations as well.


This card has shown up today to ask us to take whatever knowledge we have been working to acquire and begin applying it to our lives. When we seek to change or reach new levels in our lives, there are stages we go through. First is the impetus that pushes us to seek change, perhaps a sense of unhappiness or boredom with where we are. This is followed by the seeking of a teacher to help us reach what we desire. Teachers show up in many forms and are not necessarily people who mentor us one on one. Books, podcasts, TV interviews and online classes can all serve as teachers.
After we have studied with whatever medium we chose, there comes a time when we must take that knowledge and put it into practical use. It's the moment when we get to begin feeling that calling that originally motivated us to seek new insights and pathways of thought. It can be a scary time, as we are crossing into a new threshold. We are moving from a place of familiar territory and out into uncharted lands. It challenges our ego and self-confidence as we can no longer hide in the safety of the metaphorical classroom. We will stumble and fall as we are challenged to master all of we've been studying. But any setbacks to our self-confidence will only be temporary because we will feel our courage arise, and it can only do so when we face the unknown. Courage doesn't show up when we feel safe. It roars to the surface when we let go and ride into the free fall. And we needn't try to do it all alone. A team of guides and angels will show up because like attracts like, and when we show up for ourselves the Universe reflects that back to us ten fold. We will feel that our shaky steps are a reminder that we can always grow, and that we are infinite.
The only way to master something is through experience. There are not enough books or podcasts in the world to substitute for taking inspired action. To read about surfing is one thing. But to get on a board and feel your arms burn as you paddle out through the waves, as you feel the sun radiating onto your arms and legs, and to feel the rush as a wave comes and you paddle and you paddle and you STAND UP on your own two feet... and then you feel the cool salty water as you fall off your board. You have fallen. But you had the guts to get out there and stand up in the first place, and your lungs heave as you paddle back out, exhilarated not because you have mastered the ocean, but because you are out there, living, feeling, breathing, moving, rising, falling, and going for it.
This is what you are being called to do. To take what you've learned and take a step with it. To stand up on your own board and feel your heart open as wide as the cosmos as you take a chance on yourself. There will always be more to learn, but for now, have faith that you have learned valuable things, and you are ready to put them to use. Remember that nobody gets it right the first time. All who have achieved great things have also experienced spectacular failures.
It is not the failure that's the problem. It is the lack of action. If you aren't sure what step to take, or if you are feeling unsure of yourself in general, meditate on the Goddess Danu today. She is here for us, calling us to lift our heads from our books and phones, to look up to the sky, and to ask, "What is the most inspired thing I can do today? What would my Highest Self want me to do, the part of me that knows I am capable of limitless potential?"
p.s. if you would like assistance connecting deeper to your Higher Self I have several guided meditations that can help with this!

Q: SQL SERVER 2017 Query Optimizer gives a million of estimated rows We have SQL Server 2017 and we've just changed our compatibylity mode to 140. We expected to improve performance but unlike so many queries take a long time and consume many server resources. The reason seems to be that the new query optimizer estimates millions of rows when the actual rows are 2.
For instance, with a little query the QO estimates 1500 rows
execution plan with bad estimate,
 though if with OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 9481) the estimate is perfectly acurate
execution plan with acurate estimate
I don't know if it is a parameter sniffing case because, if we change the value of one of the filters, the query is correct. But with the degree of compatibility 110 the 2 queries are executed correctly.
execution plan with other parameter
We have the statistics perfectly updated.
Would anyone know what I should do to solve this problem?
EDITED**
Statistics are updated every day with the Ola Hallengren's algorithm, where SQL Server automatically computes the required sample. However, since we are doing tests with this query, we have done several fullscan.
Database statistics options are:
Auto Create Incremental Statistics False
Auto Create Statistic True
Auto Update Statistic True
Auto Update Statistic Asynchronously False
Legacy Cardinality Estimation OFF
Parameter Sniffing ON
Query Optimizer Fixes OFF
I've just tried OPTION (RECOMPILE) and the QO estimates 2300 rows
You can see the actual query in the execution plan's links but, is something like this:
SELECT
        table1.field1
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.field1 = table2.field1 AND table2.date_field=(
      SELECT MAX( date_field )
      FROM table2 as t2
      WHERE table2.field1 = t2.field1
             AND t2.date_field<=@date
)
INNER JOIN table3 ON table1.field1 = table3.field1 AND table3.date_field=(
      SELECT MAX( date_field )
      FROM table3 as t3
      WHERE table3.field1 = t3.field1
             AND t3.date_field<=@date
)

field1 is key in table1 and field1 and date_field are key in table2 and table3.
This kind of queries are very comon in our system with no problems until the upgrade compatibylity mode.
The data in these tables may change once a day. The original query is really much more complicated, estimating 300 million rows and with the previous level it had no problem. To investigate what happened, I started from the most basic levels of the query.
The tables have at most 85,000 records and the density is 3 or 4 records per key. at most, in some cases it reaches 6.
The steps followed to change the server configuration are:

*

*New EC2 instance in amazon with SQL Server 2017 Standard Edition

*We create our databases with compatibilty level 110 and restore the data of our SQL Server 2012

*2 weeks later we modified the compatibility level 140.

*2 weeks later we enable Query Store

Wilhelm Günther Enno von Colomb (31 de agosto de 1812, Berlín - 10 de febrero de 1886, Kassel) fue un teniente general prusiano y escritor militar.

Biografía

Origen
Era hijo del general de caballería prusiano Peter von Colomb (1775-1854) y de su primera esposa Wilhelmine Luise, de soltera Stosch (1784-1822). Su hermano Gebhard von Colomb (1815-1891) y su hermanastro Karl (1831-1911) también se convirtieron igualmente en tenientes generales prusianos.

Carrera militar
Colomb estudió en el liceo Federico Guillermo de Berlín y en el liceo de Neisse. El 20 de febrero de 1831 se incorpora al 1º Regimiento de ulanos de la Guardia del Ejército prusiano en Potsdam. Colomb es promovido a subteniente el 20 de diciembre de 1831 y sigue en la Academia Militar Prusiana entre octubre de 1835 y finales de junio de 1838. En octubre de 1839 es promovido a adjunto del regimiento, se convierte en teniente primero el 11 de mayo de 1848 y, como tal, adjunto de la 2ª Brigada de caballería de la Guardia el 13 de febrero de 1849. A partir del 3 de marzo de 1849, es asignado como adjunto al comandante general del Cuerpo de la Guardia. Promovido al grado de Rittmeister en octubre de 1851, Colomb es destinado el 1 de mayo de 1853 al Ministerio de Guerra. El 15 de noviembre de 1855, retorna al servicio de las tropas y se convierte en jefe de escuadrón del 4º Regimiento de ulanos. A finales de marzo de 1858, es promovido a mayor y el 8 de julio de 1858 retorna al 1º Regimiento de ulanos de la Guardia. Primero fue utilizado como oficial de estado mayor, después Colomb está al cargo del mando del regimiento a partir del 25 de julio de 1859, y el 24 de julio de 1861 es finalmente nombrado comandante.

Durante la guerra austro-prusiana de 1866, comanda su regimiento durante la batalla de Sadowa y recibe la Orden de la Corona de tercera clase con espadas. Bajo la posición à la suite de su regimiento, Colomb es nombrado el 5 de marzo de 1867 comandante de la 12ª Brigada de caballería y en este puesto es promovido a mayor general el 18 de junio de 1869.

Durante la movilización en ocasión de la guerra contra Francia, Colomb recibió el mando de la 3ª Brigada de caballería el 13 de julio de 1870, con la que participa en las batallas de Beaumont, Sedán, Orleans y Le Mans, y en el sitio de París. Sus realizaciones son reconocidas con la atribución de las dos clases de la cruz de hierro.

Después de la paz de Fráncfort, Colomb vuelve a ser comandante de la 12ª Brigada de caballería. Después de ser promovido a teniente general el 2 de septiembre de 1873, es transferido el 25 de noviembre de 1873 con su salario como oficial del ejército. El 10 de febrero de 1874, es nombrado comandante de Kassel. En esta posición, Colomb recibió el 20 de enero de 1878 la Orden del Águila Roja de primera clase con hojas de roble y el 1 de marzo de 1881, con ocasión de su 50º aniversario de servicio, la cruz y la estrella de comendador de la Orden de la Casa Real de Hohenzollern. El 14 de julio de 1885, es puesto a disposición con su pensión legal.

Familia
Colomb se casó el 8 de mayo de 1851 en Linz con Klara Luise Georgine baronesa von Binzer (1823-1910). Ella era la hija mayor de August Daniel von Binzer y de Emilie von Binzer. La pareja tuvo los siguientes hijos de este matrimonio:
 Wilhelmine Marie Emilie Catherine (8 de marzo de 1854, Berlín) casada el 19 de julio de 1893 con Friedrich von Bernhardi, General der Kavallerie
 Adalbert Alexandre Karl Gebhard Christoph (13 de marzo de 1857 en Schneidemühl), capitán de fragata

Remembering Sandy Hook
Town Heals and Remembers
Malloy Gets Emotional Talking About Newtown
Published Jan 9, 2013 at 1:50 PM | Updated at 3:47 PM EST on Jan 9, 2013
Gov. Malloy Emotional During State of the State
//www.nbcconnecticut.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Gov_-Malloy-Emotional-During-State-of-the-State_Hartford.html
During his State of the State Address Wednesday, Gov. Dannel Malloy held back tears as he paid tribute to the brave educators who gave their lives protecting children inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. (Published Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013)
As Gov. Dannel Malloy delivered the State of the State Address on Wednesday, thoughts of the school shooting in Newtown were at the forefront and he became emotional as he talked about the tragedy.
"It won't surprise you that this speech is very different from the one I first envisioned giving," Malloy said. "In the early days of December, I began thinking about what I'd like to say. Now, while it's only been a few short weeks on the calendar, we have all walked a very long and very dark road together. What befell Newtown is not something we thought possible in any of Connecticut's beautiful small towns or our cities."
In the midst of one of the worst days in the history of the state of Connecticut, Malloy said, we also saw the best of our state. He fought back tears as he talked about the school staff who sacrificed their lives protecting students and ran directly into harm's way to do so.
He commended the State Police, Newtown's local law enforcement, firemen, others who responded, as well as local officials who worked around-the-clock to bring comfort and stability to Newtown.
Newtown First Selectwoman Pat Llodra and School Superintendent Dr. Janet Robinson were in the chambers during the State of the State.
"You were tested by unimaginable tragedy. Your compassion and your leadership over the past month has been an inspiration to Connecticut and to me personally," Malloy said.
He commended teachers who put the interest of students first as they return to classrooms.
Then his thoughts went to the 26 families of those killed and of how they have supported the community that has supported them and of the perseverance they have shown in great tragedy.

YOU CAN READ THE PREPARED REMARKS HERE.
Speaking before an assembly of people wearing green ribbons to honor Newtown, Malloy talked about the state's responsibilities in the future.
They will be shaped, in part, by findings of the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, which is tasked with making specific recommendations about school safety, mental health services and gun violence prevention.
When Malloy spoke of mental health services, he said there must be a balance of respecting individual rights with the obligation to provide for the greater public safety.
When talking about guns, Malloy emphatically stated that more guns are not the answer.
"Let me be very, very clear. Freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher," he said, adding that security should not mean a guard posted outside every classroom.
"That is not who we are in Connecticut, and it is not who we will allow ourselves to become," Malloy said.

Телефонный план нумерации Швейцарии — диапазоны телефонных номеров, выделяемых различным пользователям телефонной сети общего пользования в Швейцарии, специальные номера и другие особенности набора для совершения телефонных вызовов. Все международные номера пользователей данной телефонной сети имеют общее начало +41 - называемый префиксом или телефонным кодом страны.

Международный код: +41
Префикс для совершения международных звонков: 00
Префикс для внутренних звонков: 0
Управление Телефонным планом нумерации Швейцарии — обязанность Федеральной службы связи Швейцарии. Телефонный план нумерации был много раз изменён, самое глобальное изменение произошло в марте 2002 года.

Формат номеров
В 2002 году телефонный план нумерации претерпел значительные изменения. Швейцария перешла на закрытый план нумерации. Это означает, что теперь необходимо набирать номер вместе с кодом всегда полностью, даже если звонишь внутри одной зоны. Номер имеет длину 9 цифр (без префикса 0. Три или четыре цифры обозначают так называемый национальный код назначения, а последующие семь или шесть цифр — собственно абонентский номер. Тем не менее, существуют некоторые исключения.

Национальные коды назначения
Так называемый национальный код назначения — код зоны в Швейцарском плане нумерации. Телефонные номера могут быть перенесены из одного кода в другой. Также следует отметить, что с введением MNP код назначения не стоит использовать как идентификатор мобильного оператора. С его помощью можно только определить первоначальную сеть. Ниже представлены актуальные коды назначения.

Imagine if one sketchbook had been passed down through the decades from one Disney artist to the next, with each one making a contribution before leaving it in the talented hands of another. That idea was the inspiration for THE ART OF DISNEY'S DRAGONS.
The drawings contained within this volume represent the entire range of dragon-themed development art from animators, live-action studio artists, and Imagineers.
Inside find playful pencil studies of Mushu; colour concepts on Figment (who was green before he became purple!); bold pencil layouts on Maleficent, and the latest character explorations of Elliot from the new Spring/Summer 2016 live-action film Pete's Dragon. Tom Bancroft, often recognized in Disney circles as being lead animator on Mushu the dragon in Mulan, writes the book's introductory essay.
The illustrators in this volume were all Disney artists at the time of their work on Disney animation, live-action films with special effects, or park attractions. Each piece of art will be credited in an end notes section, including names such as Tom Bancroft, Tim Burton, Rolly Crump, Marc Davis, Eric Goldberg, Bill Justice, John Hench, and many more.
Tom Bancroft has over 25 years of experience in the animation industry, most of which was for Walt Disney Feature animation where he was an animator for 11 years. He has been nominated for Annie and Rueben awards. At Disney, Bancroft had the opportunity to animate on 10 animated feature films, 5 animated shorts, and numerous commercials. Some of the films include, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Mulan. Bancroft was also a character designer and director for Big Idea Productions. His popular character design book, Creating Characters with Personality is used by art schools all over the world. Additionally, Bancroft has illustrated over 50 children's books. The illustrators in this volume were all Disney artists at the time of their work on Disney animation, live-action films with special effects, or park attractions.

A survey of investment advisers in the Middle East has found many of the region's investment advisers are concerned about losing clients, amid an uncertain political future and increasing regulatory monitoring across GCC countries.
The Middle East Investment Panorama (MEIP) 2016 survey, entitled 'The Year of Reckoning?' has been published by Insight Discovery, the Dubai-based market intelligence and strategic communications consultancy.
In a statement announcing the publication of the survey, Insight points to a "major new problem" for some advisers in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, with two in every three advisers that took part stating that they clients' lack of willingness to commit to invest as a challenge.
The current geopolitical situation is also seen by advisers as being worse than the Arab Spring of 2011 and new life regulations will impact advisers and asset managers. There are however, some positives including a "potential bonanza" in Saudi Arabia, according to the report.
Nigel Sillitoe, chief executive of Insight Discovery, said: "This marks a major change. In the past, advisers have mainly been concerned by changes to the regulatory environment or competitive pressures. What we see today is that advisers are worried about their whole business model at a more fundamental level.
"In a year that has already brought Brexit, the election of Donald Trump, and increasing turbulence throughout the Middle East, it is not surprising that investors are uncertain; but I believe this years' survey marks a sea-change in attitude and a growth in risk-aversion that is unprecedented," he said.
Since its launch in 2010, Insight Discovery has dubbed its MEIP survey as its "flagship" annual publication. It seeks to generate commercially valuable and actionable insights for international and local asset managers and international life companies who want to deal with (broadly defined) investment advisers in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries – Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
A key feature of the report is a discussion of the UAE's new life regulations, by Clyde & Co., the legal partner of MEIP 2016, that are "arguably the biggest shift in the regulation of the UAE's life insurance market in the modern era," the statement said.
Almost one in three advisers (29%) will be cutting clients' exposure to GCC equities.
To counter the threat of client risk-aversion, 70% see technology and electronic processing as a major opportunity, showing that they believe efficiency gains can compensate for macro-uncertainty.
Brendan Dolan, regional director at Old Mutual International, said: "'The adviser landscape is changing rapidly and it is important advisers adapt their business model if they are to survive in this new world. Insight Discovery highlights how advisers in the region are increasingly outsourcing the investment process to professionals.
Salmaan Jaffery, chief business development Officer at Dubai International Financial Centre Authority, one of the Platinum Sponsors of MEIP 2016, said that in the current environment, providing investors with stable but flexible investment platforms can help build market confidence.
Clients and advisers have become more knowledgeable and demanding, according to Jack Lin, head of Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, at Pioneer Investments.
"We have moved into the "era of solutions", where a rethinking of product design, risk management and portfolio construction is required," said Lin. "Advisers are looking for "true" diversification with uncorrelated sources of return. They are also looking for a clearer separation between alpha and beta, and want true alpha to compensate for lower beta".
Sillitoe added that the report, in addition to these changes and threats, throws up a number of positives, such as the potential transformation that could arise from the Vision 2030 'roadmap' for the development of the economy of Saudi Arabia and the Saudi government's National Transformation Program (NTP).
"In the conclusion of MEIP 2016, we identify a number of possible scenarios for advisers in the GCC region," he said. "The next 12-18 months will cause problems for some advisory groups. However, there will be opportunities for many others.
"Change brings opportunity as well as threat, and the 'Year of Reckoning' will sort the winners from the losers in the region's advisory community," added Sillitoe.


Dozens of cases of children who died of abuse and neglect in Massachusetts over the last six years remain unresolved, the alleged abusers unpunished, because state investigations have been hamstrung by long delays in determining whether deaths were accidental or criminal, and the frequent inability to determine exactly how children died, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting has found.
The state medical examiner's office, long under fire for delays in performing adult autopsies, is even slower when children die, taking an average of 242 days to find an official cause of death in abuse and neglect cases. Official death reports based on those findings sometimes take more than three years to complete, NECIR found in its review of 102 cases, including the case of a 1-month old boy who died in 2012 whose death determination is still pending.
The unresolved cases include several open homicide investigations, but also many others in which the medical examiner was unable to confirm whether wrongdoing was at play. In more than 40 percent of the cases reviewed, the medical examiner could not determine if the child's death was an accident or a deliberate act.
As a series of high-profile child abuse deaths in Massachusetts make headlines – including the recent arraignment of the alleged killer of 2-year-old Bella Bond whose body was found in a trash bag on Deer Island – family members of children whose abuse drew less public notice question if justice will ever be served in their cases.
"We have been trying so hard to find out what happened. This has been going on for two years,'' said Sharon Crawford of Whitinsville, who says her daughter called the medical examiner repeatedly, sometimes several times a day, for news about the 2013 case of her 10-year-old son, Isaiah Buckner, whose death had been linked by social workers to abuse and neglect.
State officials acknowledge that the medical examiner's office has been plaguplagued by delays, and is currently facing a backlog of 1,922 pending autopsy reports from 2011 to 2014. Daniel Bennett, secretary of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, said the office is trying to hire more examiners and other staff to reduce the backlog.
Still, even with sufficient resources, the process is necessarily painstaking and slow in some cases, Bennett said. Infant deaths, for instance, sometimes require multiple scientific tests and the review of reports from law enforcement, the state Department of Children and Families and hospitals.
When young children die, there are often few clues about the cause. Unlike adults or older children, they generally leave no trail of evidence such as text messages, no a wide circle of adults who might have noticed or suspected signs of abuse, and little verbal capacity to tell anyone about their plight before death. Children also are often in the care of more than one person in the period leading up to their deaths, making it harder to identify a suspect.
Beyond the heartbreak for families, the delays and uncertainty in these cases may also be putting other children at risk, say child advocates. Stephen C. Boos, medical director for the Family Advocacy Center at Baystate Children's Hospital in Springfield said long delays can hurt investigations, potentially allowing killers to escape responsibility.
Police records show that UMass Memorial Medical Center hospital initially linked Jay's death to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome – but Medeiros hounded authorities to look more closely. Eighteen months later, in May 2014, her worst fear was confirmed: The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Jay's death a homicide caused by "blunt trauma" to the head and neck, inflicted by others.
Now, three years after Jay's death, no one has been charged, and the investigation remains open. Jay's parents were with the baby when he stopped breathing, police records show. They cut ties with Medeiros shortly after the child's death and moved out of state. The couple, who have a new baby boy, declined to answer questions about Jay when a reporter visited last spring or left several phone calls and text messages over the last six months.
In 45 of the 102 child maltreatment fatalities reviewed by NECIR, medical examiners could not determine the manner of death – meaning they couldn't decide between two or more causes, including whether a child died of an accident, homicide, suicide or natural events. The majority involve what DCF calls "unsafe sleep" deaths linked to parents who shared a bed or put babies to sleep on their bellies, actions said to put children at higher safety risk. Other deaths involve children who ingested sleeping pills, were drowned or were injured.
William Fitzpatrick, president of the National District Attorneys Association, based in Alexandria, Va., said that there isn't a national database to examine what happens to children whose homicides go unprosecuted. However, he is certain that more children are victims of homicide than data suggests.
With a sudden infant death, for example, a child could have accidentally suffocated, he said, but there are often not enough clues to confirm that. Even when there's evidence of wrongdoing, he said, prosecutors don't always know who did it – particularly if two parents were present.
When Massachusetts' child deaths are ruled homicides, police do a pretty good job of closing cases, records show. According to criminologist James Alan Fox of Northeastern University, state police solve 90 percent of homicides involving children under 11 years old, a much higher clearance rate than for murder cases involving older children and adults, according to an analysis of 2000 to 2013 data he carried out for NECIR.
Even in the notorious case of Fitchburg preschooler Jeremiah Oliver – who went missing while under state social service supervision -- no cause of death has yet been announced almost two years after his body was found. Jeremiah's mother and boyfriend, already charged with assault, kidnapping, and child endangerment, could face murder charges if the medical examiner rules the case a homicide.
In some cases, even a finding of homicide does not prompt action. The medical examiner ruled that 1-year-old Keanu Ramos of Pittsfield died of "blunt trauma" in February 2010 and the Berkshire County District Attorney's office confirmed the investigation is still open almost six years later.
But Keanu's family said they were never even informed that the child allegedly was a victim of homicide. "You have shocked me," said his great-grandmother, Sandra Mills, when a New England Center reporter informed her earlier this year. She later told her family what she learned and reported back, that they believe his death was natural: "None of us believe it," she said about the state report.
Felix Browne, a spokesman for the state office of public safety, said medical examiners are supposed to notify district attorneys and DCF when a death is ruled a homicide. He would not comment on the Ramos case.
Family members also are waiting for answers in the case of 2-year-old Dean McCullough of Lowell, whose 2010 death was ruled a homicide seven months after his passing, caused by "blunt force trauma of head with injuries to brain," according to his death certificate. McCullough had an open DCF case at the time of his death and the state child protection agency later determined that his death was linked to abuse and neglect, records show.
Medeiros said she called DCF multiple times to warn that Jay was at risk after she quarreled with her daughter, who moved out of her North Attleboro home in September 2012.
Two months later, in November, police were called to Richmond Avenue following a 911 call that a baby wasn't breathing, police records show. The child's mother met them at the front door and sent them upstairs, where his father was giving Jay CPR, police reported.
Medeiros said she repeatedly called police to investigate and the medical examiner for a death ruling. She believes the couple left after police obtained search warrants to investigate his death two months later.
The young couple may have wanted to move on, but their past followed them as they settled into a second-floor apartment on a residential street in Lakewood, Ohio.
Last spring, a New England Center reporter knocked on the couple's shuttered apartment and left a letter requesting comment when nobody answered. Jay's father declined to comment.
She said the District Attorney's office provides no information. A local police officer has told her privately that without more information, the investigation is stalled. She worries incessantly about Jay's little brother, now nearly two years old.

In mid-March, truck driver Benjamin Brewer was sentenced to 55 years in prison for killing six people and injuring four others when his tractor-trailer struck slowed traffic in a work zone. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation of the crash showed that the company's pre-hire driver qualification program did not include a check of the driver's Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) record. The trucking company, Cool Runnings Express, performed the minimum pre-employment record checks required under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, but failed to conduct a thorough investigation of Mr. Brewer's driving history. When presented with the driver's full crash and violation history, both Cool Runnings Express and the legal advisor for the carrier's insurance company stated they would not have approved the driver for hire.
To help motor carriers make more informed hiring decisions, FMCSA implemented PSP in May 2010. PSP is a voluntary program that provides truck and bus companies instant, secure access to drivers' most recent five years of crash data and three years of inspection data from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System. Unlike the driver's motor vehicle record (MVR), which Cool Runnings Express had obtained and reviewed, PSP records contain all violations found during a roadside inspection, not just those for which a driver was issued a citation. Updated monthly, PSP records often provide more timely access to this information than the MVR, because all MVR citations are subject to the state's adjudication process. PSP records include adjudications of citations, provided the driver first files a Request for Data Review through the DataQs system.
PSP helps carriers obtain a more complete understanding of their prospective hires' driving history. Using a PSP record, motor carriers can identify and investigate gaps in employment history by reviewing the name and DOT number of the company for whom the driver was operating at the time of a crash or inspection.
Indeed, despite the strong evidence for using PSP, the tool is tremendously underutilized. Estimates suggested that PSP is used by only 40 percent of the industry actively hiring new drivers. This puts carriers who have already adopted PSP at a competitive advantage – one they would no doubt like to keep.
Using PSP is one way a motor carrier can go "beyond compliance" with the regulatory minimums while searching for the safest drivers to operate trucks and buses. The PSP website and mobile app provide access to critical information anywhere, making it increasingly easy to ensure hiring managers have more quality information to support important hiring decisions.
FMCSA is committed to increasing the number of carriers who use PSP, since participation is critical to maximizing the program's contributions to road safety. Motor carriers can sign up for PSP using the new enrollment wizard. The enrollment wizard walks users through a series of simple questions in a few short pages, making the sign-up process quick and easy. Hiring the safest drivers can prevent crashes and saves lives.

A few weeks ago, I noticed a crack in my trusty Rimowa luggage that has served me for well over two years (and constantly saving me from overweight luggage scares) I noticed the unflattering, canyoning gash after a flight back from Hong Kong, and I suppose either the baggage handlers were overly-zealous chucking bags all over the place or maybe my suitcase had just run its course -game over. Then I remembered that being a premiere luggage brand, Rimowa has a 5 year international guarantee that states that they will (to the best of their ability) repair any wrongdoing to your bag.
Here's a photo to illustrate the damage.
After reviewing the guarantee and researching online, I tried my luck and checked with a local Rimowa branch. I was merely looking for a repair, but the salesperson I spoke to said that what I was asking was impossible, given I had a polycarbonate unit and then suggested I take the issue up with the airlines I took. (and don't we all know how much of a hassle that is) After several objections, I figured that maybe it was time to accept the inevitable that my bag should be retired so I stopped deliberating and went on my way.
I expressed my disappointment, but figured it was my fault for not contacting my airlines right away but I still could not help feeling bad. Since hey, I was only asking for a repair. So I ungentlemanly aired my disgruntlement over twitter. Luckily, someone then contacted me within the day to apologize for the misinformation given to me and to resolve my non-issue. I sent my unit back again for further inspection, and was informed that my troubles would be fixed.
Within a day or two, Rimowa then furnished me with a brand new unit. Not repaired, not refurbished, but BRAND NEW. I was astounded! Never have I heard of such great aftersales service.
I then now remembered why I got such an attractive luggage, and photographed away at the beautifully designed case.
When they say Guarantee, they mean it.
Thank you Rimowa for showing that your customers come first above all else, I will highly recommend your product to my friends and colleagues alike.

When your young soccer player enters 5th grade, his or her team will begin to play in a league called MISA, the Marin Interleague Soccer Alliance. This is an alliance of all the soccer clubs in Marin County. In MISA, instead of playing all games solely against West Marin teams, competition is between teams from throughout the County.
MISA was formed to give soccer players from the 5th through 12th grades the opportunity to have a higher level playing experience, while still enjoying other activities in their lives besides soccer. With the High School season recently moved to the winter season, our fall season provides an exciting opportunity for players to stay sharp and play in a competitive league, yet with a limited time commitment. Often these are players who play other sports and participate in other activities during the fall season.
The quality of play in MISA is quite high, yet our teams accommodate players of varying skill levels. Some have played on select teams but returned to MISA because of the high quality of play and because they want a less intense, less time-consuming soccer experience. At the same time, as a rec league, it still teaches and integrates less experienced players and is an exciting step-up for players whose playing lives have all been spent in West Marin.
WMYSL supplies professional trainers for all ages in the program. Trainings focus on teaching the skills and tactics that will allow all players to develop beyond their current level, while having fun. Players will be preparing for High School competition as well as for a lifetime of enjoyment in recreational and pick-up games.
Games are played at these other clubs' venues all throughout Marin, as well as at home (White Hill, Lagunitas and West Marin School).
MISA gives young athletes an opportunity to play and improve, in a game they love, but without needing to commit their whole lives to it.

SolarWinds Updates Product Line for Hybrid Cloud Trend
By: Chris Preimesberger, eWEEK | May 24, 2018
Performance-management provider updates portfolio to make it easier for IT pros to consolidate monitoring solutions to a single and provides greater flexibility to scale up and support larger data center networks as workloads get bulkier.
It's a documented trend that enterprises are morphing their legacy on-premises IT systems to hybrid models that include cloud services. So it behooved performance management software specialist SolarWinds to look ahead and be prepared for this if it wanted to remain relevant.
As a result, the company on May 24 launched a series of updates to its network management portfolio in an effort to attract some of those potential customers--which include as many of its current installed base as possible--who are going hybrid.
SolarWinds claimed the updated portfolio makes it easier for IT professionals to consolidate monitoring solutions enterprise-wise to a single and provides greater flexibility to scale up and support larger data center networks as workloads get bulkier.
The Austin-based company has freshened up the key products in its catalog, including its Network Performance Monitor, Network Configuration Manager, IP Address Manager, NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and VoIP & Network Quality Manager.
How to Improve Remote Collaboration in 2021
Specifically, the new features of the NetMan portfolio include:
Network Performance Monitor (NPM) 12.3: Along with Network Insight for Cisco Nexus, including detailed visibility into virtual Port Channels (vPCs), the latest version of NPM provides superior network monitoring capabilities and detailed visibility for multi-vendor environments.
Network Configuration Monitor (NCM) 7.8: The updated version brings stronger automation and control of network functions and, like NPM, adds Network Insight for Cisco Nexus switches. It provides configuration snippets and the ability to filter, search, and view access control lists (ACLs), including object groups, and Virtual Device Context (VDC) support.
IP Address Manager (IPAM) 4.7: A tool that automates management of IP addresses, the latest version now automates IP requests and monitors hybrid environments with Amazon Route53 and Azure DNS support.
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) 4.4: With a new Flow Storage SQL database at its foundation and less-demanding CPU and IOPS requirements, the new version offers IT professionals improved speed and performance in identifying network traffic issues and removing bottlenecks, while providing better security.
VoIP and Network Quality Manager (VNQM) 4.5: The latest version of VNQM adds support for monitoring of SIP trunks, enabling users to manage voice quality and performance across networks using the latest VoIP technologies.
According to the SolarWinds 2018 IT Trends Report, which SolarWinds released last month, hybrid is top of mind with 94 percent of the 142 IT practitioners, managers and directors in North America surveyed naming hybrid IT and/or cloud as one of the top five most important technologies in their IT organization's current technology strategy, with 51 percent listing it as number one.
Looking ahead, the report found hybrid IT and cloud are also viewed as the most important technologies over the next three to five years in digital transformation and as the technologies with the greatest potential to enable productivity, efficiency and ROI.
The updated SolarWinds network management portfolio, including Network Insight for Cisco Nexus, will be available starting May 30. SolarWinds NPM pricing starts at $2,955; NCM pricing starts at $2,895; IPAM pricing starts at $1,995; NTA pricing starts at $1,915; and VNQM pricing starts at $1,615.

Maryland Food Bank Has Given Out 35M Meals Since March. They Need Your Help To Keep It Going
By Annie Rose Ramos November 26, 2020 at 11:00 pm
Filed Under:Coronavirus Outbreak In Maryland: WJZ Complete Coverage, Health, Local TV, Maryland, Maryland Food Bank, Maryland News, Talkers, Thanksgiving
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — One in four Marylanders are food insecure this holiday season.
WJZ visited the Maryland Food Bank where they are giving thousands of families a meal this Thanksgiving.
"We're just trying to do everything we can to make sure there's enough food," Joanna Warner, Director of Communications for the Maryland Food Bank, said.

Latest CDC Guidelines
They are packing grab and go meals and backup boxes.
"These are 30-pound boxes of shelf-stable items that are easy to load into the trunk of a car and help fulfill the needs of a family of four for about a week," Warner said.
They know this holiday season is going to be difficult for more Maryland families than ever before amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"These are regular people, these are your neighbors, next door individuals who unfortunately lost their job as a result of the global pandemic and many of them are seeking out food assistance for the very first time," Warner said.
Since March, the Maryland Food Bank has distributed over 35 million meals in the state.
"That's roughly 42 million pounds of food," Warner said.
To continue at this rate, the Maryland Food Bank is asking for volunteers and financial contributions.
"The dollar you would otherwise spend at the store we can actually convert that and stretch that a lot further," Warner said.
They said the need and hunger will still be there even after the holidays.
"We don't see this spike in demand decreasing anytime soon. We suspect this need for food assistance is going to continue into 2021. So any support from the public is very much appreciated right now," Warner said.
For the latest information on coronavirus go to the Maryland Health Department's website or call 211. You can find all of WJZ's coverage on coronavirus in Maryland here.

In response to forty-three Republicans joining with the Democratic Party in support of President Barack Obama's pro-transgender agenda, a GOP lawmaker reportedly opened a policy meeting on Thursday with a Bible passage condemning homosexuality.
While the energy bill it was attached to would be voted down, freshman Rep. Rick Allen, R-Ga., suggested the Republicans who joined Democrats to pass a transgender discrimination amendment had effectively sinned by defying Christian tenets, The Hill reported.
The 43 GOP lawmakers can be seen HERE.
The online political site did not cite the passage Allen read, but some of his more progressive colleagues were said to be unhappy with it.
"It was f—ing ridiculous," said one GOP lawmaker said, according to The Hill.
One Republican willing to put his name behind his words accused Democrats of playing political games by supporting the amendment while voting against the energy bill it was attached to.

Ducks coach Dallas Eakins says roster spots will be earned, not given
Team isn't rushing a youth movement and its lineup might have far more veterans than youngsters to start 2019-20

By Elliott Teaford | eteaford@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: September 21, 2019 at 2:48 pm | UPDATED: September 21, 2019 at 9:06 pm
IRVINE — Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf made his first exhibition appearance Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena. Nick Ritchie and Ondrej Kase skated on his wings as the Ducks played the second of their six exhibitions this month.
Sam Steel skated between wingers Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg. John Gibson started in goal, splitting the duties with Kevin Boyle. The Ducks' defense corps included Cam Flower, Korbinian Holzer and Michael Del Zotto.
Conventional wisdom suggested this would be the season the Ducks turned over their roster, going with younger and less experienced players. But judging by their first two exhibitions, their veterans have not been shoved to the sideline just yet.
To be sure, Ducks general manager Bob Murray made several offseason moves designed to create job opportunities for his young players, and certainly the 21-year-old Steel and Kase, 23, qualify as young players, but the lineup for opening night Oct. 3 might still be dominated by their elders.
The Ducks aren't ushering in a youth movement simply to usher in a youth movement.
"Do we all quietly hope our draft picks work out? Yeah," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. "We've got scouts who've put in thousands of miles and countless hours driving around everywhere looking at these players. They've got their names on them and our organization has invested in them.
"But nothing is going to be given here. We're not just going to shuffle people out of the way and give our young people jobs. They've going to have to earn it. We're not interested at all in any kind of breaking this down and shuffling out real good players and hand the team over to a younger group."
Murray bought out Corey Perry's contract, which created a job opening that Kase might fill on right wing. In addition, Center Ryan Kesler underwent offseason hip resurfacing surgery and isn't expected to play again this season. Plus, right wing Patrick Eaves (illness) also isn't expected back.
The evaluation process is ongoing and picking up speed as the Ducks entered a stretch in which they'll play five exhibitions in an eight-night span. Players such as Steel and Kase will be given good long looks, as will others, including Max Comtois, Max Jones, Kiefer Sherwood and Troy Terry.
Eakins has formed consistent lines since the start of training camp Sept. 13, but he also has made it clear nothing is for certain and he might mix and match players on his lines and defense pairs heading into what loomed as a very busy final week.
Ducks' struggles at the break were not unexpected going into 2019-20
Ducks work overtime to beat Hurricanes on Sam Steel's goal
Ducks appreciate value of Derek Grant upon his return
Ducks get healthy, get victory over Predators to end losing streak
Ducks understand their predicament as they attempt to escape last place
The Ducks' chartered flight to Arizona was expected to be filled with team executives and scouts. Each practice session during training camp has been conducted under their watchful eyes, but the intensity of the spotlight was sure to increase with each exhibition.
"Our evaluation of everybody is actually really young itself because we haven't been able to see everybody," Eakins said. "We've only played on exhibition (going into Saturday). We'll get another look at it (Saturday). Veteran guys are going to have to earn it. Young guys are going to have to earn it.
"Especially going back to those young guys, down deep in their souls, they don't want it given to them. When you dream of being in the NHL, you don't want it because you won a lottery and you get to come skate with the team. It's because you put in the work and you actually belong here.
"Instead of being a young NHL player, I am an NHL player."
DUCKS FALL IN SHOOTOUT
Ritchie (power play) and La Mirada native Chase De Leo scored third-period goals to rally the Ducks from a 3-1 deficit, forcing their exhibition against the Coyotes to overtime and then a shootout. Nick Schmaltz and Conor Garland scored in the shootout for the Coyotes, who took a 4-3 victory.
Silfverberg also scored for the Ducks, who are 1-0-1 in exhibition play. Gibson stopped 17 of 18 shots in 32:49, yielding to Boyle in the second period as planned. Boyle then stopped 10 of 12 shots in 32 minutes, including a scoreless five-minute OT.
