The trooper told him Poe Place - and memories flooded back for Bailly, who'd delivered a baby on that very street on October 5, 1991, when he was a rookie.
Fate brought together two men almost three decades after they briefly met. After learning Bailly was a retired Piscataway police officer, Patterson told him he was also from Piscataway. "He goes as far as describing the house that I grew up in and then he said the baby's name was Michael, so I extended my hand and said - sir - my name is Michael Patterson, thanks for helping to deliver me", he said.
A New Jersey trooper made the traffic stop of a lifetime last Friday when he pulled over the retired police officer who delivered him almost three decades ago.
Bailly responded - and the doctor talked him through the birth of the would-be trooper.
After Bailly told his story, Patterson reintroduced himself. After she had struggled home, her husband phoned a doctor.
Other commenters wondered if Patterson had given Bailly a ticket for the vehicle violation.
KYW reported that Patterson and his mother both visited Bailly after the traffic stop for a reunion.
"They all felt this story was so uplifting, it needed to be shared, and we agree!" state police wrote.
"Bailly had four years on the job when he responded to a home on Poe Place in Piscataway".
On the day Patterson was born, his mother Karen was out shopping when she went into labor, police said.
Patterson and his mother recently visited Bailly and his wife to complete a reunion nearly three decades in the making. The state trooper and the cop who delivered him took more photos together to mark the occasion. They wanted others to hear the wonderful story, so they shared the photos with the state police.
The images appeared on screen at the Principality Stadium alongside messages reading "Love Is Universal" and "Love Never Changes'".
France's squad fly out to Russian Federation after their final friendly against United States of America in Lyon on Saturday. Naby Keita will also join the club from RB Leipzig on July 1.
The game, which will be released after the new season has started, will display Cristiano Ronaldo wearing Real Madrid's new kit. United and PSG would probably be the only two realistic destinations for Ronaldo in the event of him leaving Madrid.
The story was originally reported by The Ringer , which found several accounts that could be plausibly linked to Colangelo. Embiid, the 24-year-old All-Star center, tweeted that he didn't believe the report . "That would just be insane", he wrote.
All people have to do is show up to their local Taco Bell and ask for the taco to receive one Doritos Locos taco free of charge. Because of Golden State's victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Taco Bell is giving free food to everyone.

One of the first things that you need to learn in SL, is how to move around. This means learning how to walk and fly where you are, and how to get to other places too.
Walking is easy; just use your cursor keys to direct your avatar. Some people who are used to gaming will use letters rather than the cursor keys, but that becomes a bit problematical if you want to talk and then move, as you have to keep closing the chat window.
Flying is easy once you get the hang of it. Use the Home key to take off, and then a combination of the page up and page down to control height, and the cursor keys to control direction.
These things become second nature after a little while. Note that you have a limited range when flying, unless you get a booster attachment of some sort. There are many for sale and a few free ones too.
You will find that apart from a few places where flying is not allowed, flying is the way that you get around in Second Life when you are exploring a sim or group of sims. You can fly across sim borders to the next sim if there is one next door.
If you want to go exploring, though, you are going to have to use your map or landmarks. Landmarks are exactly what they say they are, a marker which allows you to go to a specific place. They are stored in your landmarks folder in your inventory, and should also be stored as a list inside the landmarks category of your map. For now though, you can simply open up your inventory by clicking on the button at the bottom of the screen (unless it is already open) and then click on your landmarks folder to open it. You should see a list of places with a pin icon beside them. If you click on one, it should open and offer you a small window with a teleport button.
To go to the place, click on the teleport button and it should transport you to the place you have selected. Be aware, however, that sometimes when the grid is slow, teleports do not work properly and the system may tell you to try again.
There are other ways to find places to go. You can use SL's search. Click the button which says search at the bottom of the screen and then use search to find something which interests you. Using a keyword is a good way of coming up with some random places to visit. If you click through to see details on a search result, it will offer you a teleport button. If it is a place you like, you can landmark it yourself when you get there.
You can also open up your map by clicking on the button at the bottom of the screen, and then either click on a place on the map that you can see and choose to teleport to that location, or key in the name or part of the name for a sim, and choose to teleport there. Thus if you know that my shop is in NCC, you can click on your map, type in NCC i the space provide and click search, and then choose to teleport there when the location is found on the map.
Most people have a few favourite places, and they love to share landmarks... why not ask the people you meet for recommendations, and have them drop a few landmarks on you?

Theater Inside and Out of Our Doors
By: Sarabeth Weszely, Senior Writer
"This isn't about Broadway or the movies; this is life.
This is us exploring ourselves, finding our voices, discussing relevant issues. This is cool."
-Rachel Bingman, High School Drama teacher

Student Ginelly Rodriguez accepted into competitive playwright program
This month, Ginelly participated in the TDF Young Playwrights' Summer Intensive (pictured), where she studied in master classes along with other teen playwrights from the tri-state area. The program culminated in a performance of the students' original work last Friday (8/16) in Times Square. Ginelly's scene 'Behind Closed Doors' was featured!
Students Andrew Duran and Briany Sanchez perform as leads in film at School of Visual Arts (SVA)
We were so proud of Andrew (left) and Briany (right; white shirt) when they chose to audition for an SVA student film about Dominican teenagers who turn out to have superpowers, and we expect the film will be as exciting as it sounds. They will both perform as voice-over leads in the film. Andrew will also be performing as an extra in the new Spielberg rendition of West Side Story!
High School Drama Program makes its way into the classroom
Rachel Bingman (right) and Alyssa Rivera (left) started our drama program from the ground up two years ago while Rachel was co-teaching as a special educator. This year, she will transition to teaching drama full-time, as well as leading the school's extracurricular theater initiatives.
"I don't think I've been so excited about something in my whole teaching career!" says Rachel.
Her curriculum feeds into what she hopes will become an ongoing student engagement around issues relevant to the community, because she believes theater is one of the most powerful ways we can communicate sensitive subject matter to each other.
To this end, Mrs. Bingman will direct smaller projects throughout the year, leading up to the school's third spring show, a bilingual production of the musical Little Shop of Horrors. She is working with a team to adapt the Spanish portions of the script into Dominican Spanish dialect, "so that this musical feels like it could happen at a flower shop down the street from here."
It excites us to note that a significant portion of our theater students are English Language Learners and students with disabilities. Rachel speaks with pride about students who have performed courageously in her plays despite added obstacles and language barriers. We love to see our school's inclusive values displayed in a diversity of contexts, and it is especially fun to watch that happen on the stage!
Middle School Drama Program prepares for group trip to London
Our middle school theater director, Dominique Porter, had the idea to bring her students to London when she was there herself last summer. She sensed it would inspire students transitioning from middle school to high school to continue in theater, even when it leads them outside of their comfort zone.
Last year, a group of committed 7th and 8th grade students began work reading, writing and researching in preparation for the trip, and the now 8th and 9th graders will be traveling to London this Spring. Along with other students from around the US, they will participate in workshops at a London theater conservatory, see Shakespeare plays at the Globe Theater, and more!
"This will be the first time any of these students have ever been to London, and the first time something they've studied is right in front of them like this," says Dominique. "The parents and myself have made a commitment to fundraise in order to make this an equitable trip," she continues. "We do it with the hope and goal that every student who wants to go and has put in the work, regardless of their economic background, will be able to go on this trip."
Funds raised will be used to sponsor student flight, hotel, food and tour costs. We're excited to do all things necessary to send our students on this exciting opportunity, and we hope it will be the first of many for them.
Want to hear what our students are saying about the trip? Watch a video of them here!
"Drama gave me a network to form bonds with students I might not have spoken to as much, and it became like a second home. My experience with Drama has been enriching and ultimately rewarding. It helped me form some of the best memories of my High School experience."

Gorakhnath temple attack convict Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi was sentenced to death, Monday, by a special anti-terror court.
A report quoting Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order), Prashan Kumar, said that Abbasi was awarded the death penalty under Section 121 of the Indian Penal Code by a special NIA court for attacking security personnel stationed at Gorakhnath temple in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur in April last year.
Abbasi, a chemical engineer, was arrested following an attack with a sharp-edged weapon on Uttar Pradesh Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) personnel posted at the Gorakhnath temple.

Police said that after interrogation, Abbasi revealed he was in cahoots with the Islamic State and had taken an oath to fight for the global terrorist group. They said that Abbasi was also providing financial aid to the terror group's sympathizers and supporters.
Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi, a resident of Civil Lines area in UP's Gorakhpur, is an IIT-ian with a degree in chemical engineering from IIT-Mumbai.
According to the police, Abbasi suffered from mental health issues for which he underwent treatment from several doctors and ultimately led to him separating from his wife in 2017.
On April 3 last year, Abbasi tried to force his way inside the Gorakhnath temple, when stopped, he proceeded to attack the security men deployed there with a sickle in which two constables were injured. However, he was overpowered and arrested.
The ATS investigation revealed that the Abbasi's attack was part of a "deep conspiracy." The UP Home Department had said the attack could be termed as a terror incident.

Create a positive learning environment. The well-maintained piano should be in a room that is well lit and adequately heated. Ideally, it should be in a room without distractions; a room that is quiet but not deserted. Will you have easy access to a piano? If the piano is not in your home or place of residence, will you be able to have access to it when you want it or will you have to make special arrangements to use it? Will the hours of use be restricted? Try to work out these details in advance so that you become comfortable with the arrangement.

A morphological comparison of two populations assigned to Orestias agassii from the Chilean Altiplano with the syntypes from Peru and Bolivia was performed. The results suggest that populations of Chile do not match the form of Peru (Titicaca- lake), nevertheless the Isluga population could be related to O. agassii of Bolivia.
KEYWORDS: Orestias, altiplano, geometric morphometric.
Se realizó una comparación morfológica de dos poblaciones asignadas a Orestias agassii del Altiplano chileno con los sintipos de Perú y Bolivia. Se sugiere que las poblaciones de Chile no corresponden a las de Perú (Lago Titicaca), sin embargo, la población de Isluga estaría relacionada con O. agassii de Bolivia.
PALABRAS CLAVE: Orestias, altiplano, morfometría geométrica.
The fish diversity in the high Andes, is represented by only three native fish genera, the catfishes Astroblepus and Trichomycterus and the killifish Orestias (Vila et al 2007). The latter include 45 endemic species to the Altiplano (Eschmeyer & Fong 2013), distributed in different aquatics systems, from Lake Lacsha in the center of Peru (9°S) to the Ascotán salt pan in northern Chile (22°S) (Lauzanne 1982; Vila 2006; Vila et al. 2011).
Orestias agassii Valenciennes 1846 is the species of the genus with the widest distribution in the Altiplano; it ranges from the Urubamba and Titicaca watersheds in Peru to the Uyuni salt pan in southern Bolivia and northern Chile (Arratia 1982, Parenti 1984, De la Barra et al. 2009). This species was first described by Valenciennes (1846), who characterized the morphology (Fig. 1a) and indicated the potential range of distribution in the Province of Corocoro, Bolivia (17°10´S; 68°27´W) and two lakes near Cuzco in Peru (Chincheros and Antonio). Also these authors generated a nomenclature conundrum because their use of three different binomials for O. agassii (O. agassizii, O. agassii and O. agassisii). Parenti (1984) made the first revision of the spellings used by Valenciennes (1846), establishing that O. agassii was the valid name (Cruz-Jofré et al. 2013).
In 1895 Garman indicated that this species was abundant in Titicaca lake (15°46´S; 65°22´W). Thus the taxon Orestias agassii was originally ascribed to the Titicaca lake watershed; later studies added new localities in the Bolivian Altiplano (Parenti 1984).
The earliest references to O. agassii for Chile were made by Pellegrin (1904,1906), and then by Eigenmann (1927). These authors indicated that this species was present in the Ascotán salt pan (21°29´S, 68°15´W), and that it was also found in the Loa river watershed and Calama. Later, Eigenmann & Allen (1942) clarified the distribution in this area (Loa river), that corresponded to a typographical error (Figure 3 Page 5, see Eigenmann 1927). Mann (1954) affirmed that O. agassii is found across the Chilean Altiplano, in the Regions of Tarapacá, Antofagasta and Atacama, including a photograph of one individual of O. agassii, but did not indicate its provenance or define the localities in which this species would be found. Arratia (1982) suggested that the population of the Ascotán salt pan was a different species. Parenti (1984) described this species as O. ascotanensis, which has been validated using traditional morphological (Martínez et al. 1999), chromosome evidence (Vila et al. 2010) and recently molecular phylogenetic analysis (Vila et al. 2013). Arratia (1982) also reviewed the populations of this genus in northern Chile (Parinacota Province 18°11´S; 69°20´W), described two new species (O. parinacotensis and O. laucaensis) and discard the presence of O. agassii at this latitude. Recently, Vila et al. (2013) in a molecular systematic study considered that three Chilean populations belong to O. agassii. The populations are those present in Isluga river (19°15´S; 68°42´W), Huasco salt pan (20°15'S; 68°52'W) and Collacagua river (20°08´S; 68°50´W). These authors suggest the existence of three independent lineages (species) that are currently classified as O. agassii, this implies that some of the populations present in Chile do not belong to this species.
The objective of this study is to clarify the presence of O. agassii in the Chilean Altiplano, based on the studies of Mann (1954), Arratia (1982) and the proposal of Vila et al. (2013), comparing the Chilean populations and the syntypes of the species from Peru (Parenti 1984) and Bolivia (Esquer- Garrigos et al. 2013).

We compared the body form of individuals from different localities by photographing a left lateral view with a digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 5400). We identified 15 landmarks or anatomically homologous points (Fig. 1B) using the TPS.DIG2 v2.16 program (Rohlf 2010). The coordinates of the specimens were aligned using the generalized Procrustes superimposition method. This was done for: A) the photograph published by Mann (1954) Fig. 1c; B) individuals from two Chilean localities, Isluga river (Fig. 1d) and Huasco salt pan (Fig. 1E), which are the same individuals analyzed by Vila et al. (2013); and C) the photographs of the individuals assigned as syntypes of the species from Umayo lake and Puno bay (Titicaca lake; Fig. 1f) in Peru and Poopo lake in Bolivia. In the analyses 47 females and two males were used (Table 1). Although, photographs of different sources could be not considered as replicate, in statistics sense, they are illustrative to solve the taxonomic identity of O. agassii Chilean forms. We performed a Canonical Variate Analysis (CVA) and a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) in the MORPHOJ program (Klingenberg 2011). Then we performed a discriminant function analysis (DFA corrected for sample size) in the SYSTAT program (SYSTAT, 2004) using the 26 principal components as variables and as classification groups the localities of Isluga, Huasco and Titicaca (Puno- Umayo). The Poopo locality was excluded from the DFA. The results showed that the Chilean populations assigned to O. agassii are different independent units. This agrees with the phylogenetic results obtained by Vila et al. (2013). Also, the populations from the Titicaca watershed (Puno bay and Umayo lake) had taller bodies, larger heads and more oblique mouths than the individuals from Isluga and Huasco (Fig. 2). The individual photographed by Mann (1954) grouped with the individuals of the Isluga, which suggeststhat it was collected in this locality. The results of the CVA showed that in the morphological space the individual from Poopo lake grouped with the Isluga population.

The DFA between localities showed 92% correct classification. All localities showed high correct classification values of their individuals, 88% in Isluga, 94% in Huasco and 100% for the Titicaca watershed (Puno and Umayo) (Wilks' lambda = 0.005 Approx. F = 10.008, df = 52, 40, p< 0.01).
Finally, the results of this study suggest that the forms of O. agassii in Chile do not match the form of the syntypes of O. agassii of Peru (Titicaca lake), however the Isluga population could be related as close to the Bolivian populations. This is also consistent with the proposal of Vila et al. (2013), who indicated that the forms assigned to this species in Chile conform a polyphyletic group, where Isluga population is the sister group of others populations of Orestias present in the Chilean Altiplano. The taxonomic status of these entities is being evaluated by our group using morphological (linear and meristic morphometry), karyotypes (chromosome number and chromosome banding) and genetic (mitochondrial and nuclear markers) characters.

Channel Islands ancestors lecture at SoG
While reading the latest news from the Society of Genealogist I came across an announcement for a half day course being held at the society's head quarters in London called:
"My Ancestors Came from the Channel Islands"
It had previously been scheduled for the end of the month and has now been brought forward to 24/10/2015 10:30 – 13:00 – So anyone who hasn't realised this yet and who intended to go then make a note in your diary that this course has been moved from its original date of 31 October.
If you have forbears form this part of the world and want to learn more about how to research them then as I write this they still have some space.
Check out the Society of Genealogists' website:
http://www.sog.org.uk/books-courses
Here is what they say about this half day course:
On which of the Channel Islands did your ancestors originate?
Are your cousins still there?
This half-day course will cover sources of genealogical and historical sources of information about Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark. The course will include data that can be accessed in the Society of Genealogists library, online and on the islands in archives, libraries, registries and museums. Relevant contact details of historical and family history organisations will be provided.
with Dr Colin Chapman.
Books on Channel Island Ancestors
Pen & Sword books have the following editions of Marie-Louise Backhurst's comprehensive book on Tracing Your Channel Island Ancestors for sale. Check out the different editions with these links:
Kindle edition £4.99
ePub edition £4.99
The History & Heritage Handbook
With the holiday season well and truly in swing, I'm on a weekend in London as you read this hopefully getting my fill of museums and heritage sites.
If you are like me and end up visiting parts of the country that you are unfamiliar with, then I'd recommend The History & Heritage Handbook 2015/16 to you.
Not content with this current short break, I'm also planning another few days in the South of England in September, perhaps going to the Record Offices and archives there. Plus I've a visit to the Midlands in the next few months. Back in June I was in Salisbury and saw the copy of the Magna Carta that is on show in the chapter house of the cathedral there and visited some other historical venues while there.
The new History & Heritage Handbook 2015/16 edited by Andrew Chapman and published by Heritage Hunter came out only recently and is invaluable to help people like me make the most of our visits.
The book is a comprehensive guide to almost 3500 places and organisations in the UK , the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Each of the entries provides the contact details and a brief description, many of which give specific information about specialist collections and all listed across more than 500 pages..
I recommend you use it to
research your family history: as the book includes details of county record offices and family history societies
find thousands of heritage sites to visit on holiday or for day trips
learn about special archives in museums and libraries across the UK, ideal for researching local, social or military history
You can order the History & Heritage Handbook 2015/16 from: http://www.heritagehunter.co.uk/
or it can also be found at various other suppliers such as: S&N Genealogy Supplies

Days to go to the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show 2015
Who Do you Think You Are? LIVE
This week, on Thursday 16th, Friday 17th and Saturday 18th of April the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show rolls into the National Exhibition Centre for the first time. The largest Family History Show in the U.K. it has moved up to the Midlands from London.
For those of us seeking answers, to family history brick walls, this is one of the most exciting times of the calendar as it allows us a chance to get to listen to all manner of experts gathered under one roof.
Apart from the main celebrity speakers, such as Reggie Yates, Tamzin Outhwaite and Alistair McGowan there are many other presentations that I am looking forward to.
One talk that I spotted in the email news from S&N Genealogy supplies is Our Ancestors' Working Lives by Celia Heritage, Professional Genealogist & Author. Celia will be explaining how we can find out more about an ancestor through the records of their working life in TheGenealogist's talk theatre, situated just by the entrance.
There are, of course, so many other workshops to take in that a little bit of planning may be needed to fit in what appeals to your particular interest. Take a look at the Society of Genealogists Workshop programme online. One of the other great strengths of the show is being able to chat with the knowledgeable people from the various family history societies, or to sit down with a Society of Genealogist expert. Maybe you will be in luck and meet a person that is researching a collateral line to yours!
To emphasize just how much of a breakthrough a chance meeting such as this can be, here is a little story to end with.
This weekend I was taking a break in a small Leicestershire Bed & Breakfast and was talking to another guest who had discovered a whole batch of new ancestors by meeting someone whose ancestor had been employed as a ship's captain by my fellow guest's ship owning ancestor. The Captain's descendent was able to fill in the ship owner's descendent about people that, until then, he was completely unaware of. This just emphasises how making connections at events such as Who Do You Think You Are? Live can be priceless.

Murderous Madam and the Policeman
I've been having a look at the S&N newsletter, that popped into my email box at the end of the week.
What caught my eye was a fascinating Victorian murder story that took place in the St Helier streets quite local to where I live. I've come across it before in the book The Policeman and the Brothel by Theodore Dalrymple, but this is the first time that I've seen it written from the family history records point of view!
It was fascinating to see the Illustrated London News report from March 7th 1846; the census records, with the tell tale blanks for the occupations of the young prostitutes, and the criminal records showing the killer was transported for life to Van Diemens land. Also to be seen is the huge monument for the murdered policeman in Green Street cemetery, a picture of which can be searched for in TheGenealogist's growing Volunteer Headstone Database that now includes many Jersey burials.
The newsletter isn't just about this story. They begin with a look at what will be coming online from their group throughout 2015:
Parish Records, detailed County and Tithe Maps, millions of new Medals Records, more Grave Memorials from the Volunteer Headstone Project, records of Railway Workers from Pensions to Staff Movements, Jewish records, detailed Street Maps, Passenger Lists, Emigration Records and more War Memorials are all going online at TheGenealogist this year.
And then we hear that this month they've released more War Memorials, Parish Records and have now added the 1911 census for all Starter and Gold Subscribers! You can make the most of this with £30 cash back on an Annual Gold Subscription, making it just £48.95 for the first year!
There's no better way, they suggest, to start the new year than with some special offers – you can claim £50 cashback on a Diamond Subscription to TheGenealogist, and save £££s in their New Year Sale over at S&N Genealogy Supplies. The news letter also takes a look at 2014 in a review.
Finally, there is that interesting article I've already drawn you attention to above about Ancestors that fell foul of the law. As the S&N team write in the email, these are always fascinating subjects for family history research and I would say none more than a Victorian murder story of a notorious Madam who escaped the hangman's noose!
New WW1 Records Released
New avenues of research are opened up by the latest release of unique Great War records.
During the First World War many servicemen were reported as 'Missing' or 'Killed in Action' and for the first time you can now search a comprehensive list of these online. Usefully this includes the changing status of soldiers as the facts became clearer over time, as many assumed dead were found alive and those reported missing had their status updated.
This new release from TheGenealogist contains over 800,000 records. Included are 575,000 Killed in Action records, over 226,000 unique Missing-in-Action records and 14,000 Status Updates.
Over 100,000 people previously reported as missing had further status updates:
59,500 were later reported as killed
47,400 were later reported as PoW
2,000 were later reported as rejoined
4,200 were later reported as "not missing"
8,400 were later reported as wounded
Mark Bayley, Head of Online Content at TheGenealogist comments:
"The telegrams and published lists of Dead and Missing must have had a huge impact on the lives of our ancestors. These records give an insight into what must have been an emotional roller coaster. They also give new avenues of research into what some researchers may have assumed were dead ends."
These are now available to Diamond subscribers of TheGenealogist.
Example 1 Thought to be dead
Some people initially reported to be dead may turn out to be alive, the change in status is usually reported in the War Lists. If it had been assumed that an ancestor was dead, from the initial report, it could reopen a closed off branch of a family tree for further research.
An example of this type of positive record status change is Flight Sub Lieutenant Trechmann who was first reported as "Died As A Prisoner" in the Daily Lists of 6th June 1917.
By the end of July 1917 his status changed to Previously Reported Died As A Prisoner, Now Reported Alive and Still a Prisoner.
Finally, in December 1918, his records show that he was Repatriated.
Example 2 Thought to be wounded
A different illustration, on many levels, is that of the 5th Earl of Longford. Within the Daily Casualty List on TheGenealogist for the 6th September 1915, we can find Lord Longford who had previously been reported as "Wounded".
His status was then changed to be "Now Reported Wounded and Missing" and this alteration appeared in the daily list of the 27th September 1915:
During the First World War, Brigadier-General Lord Longford was in command of a division sent from their base in Egypt to Suvla on the Gallipoli peninsula as reinforcements during the Battle of Sari Bair.
The initial attack by other Divisions on Scimitar Hill had failed. With his men waiting in reserve, the 5th Earl and his troops were then ordered to advance in the open across a dry salt lake. Under fire, most of the brigades had taken shelter, but Lord Longford led his men in a charge to capture the summit of Scimitar Hill. Unfortunately, during the advance, he was killed.
Earl Longford's body was never recovered and so, in the confusion of war, he was first recorded as "Wounded", and then "Wounded and Missing". Eventually, in 1916, he would be assumed to be dead.
Posterity tells us that the peer's last words were recorded as: "Don't bother ducking, the men don't like it and it doesn't do any good".

First World War medal winning heroes now available online at TheGenealogist.co.uk
I've heard from the team at TheGenealogist about their new medal release that gives full details of heroic soldiers and their deeds in the First World War and The Second Boer War to aid you in your search for more information on your ancestor's war exploits.
Analysis of these newly released Distinguished Conduct Medal records uncovers stories of heroism and exceptional bravery from ordinary soldiers. The medal was instituted in 1854, but the desperate fighting and struggle of the First World War saw the medal awarded to a larger amount of soldiers for the first time.
TheGenealogist.co.uk has released complete new records of Non Commissioned Officer's and Other Ranks who were awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in The First World War and The Second Boer War.
Uniquely these new records show full details of the Recipients Medal Card combined with a link to The London Gazette which in numerous cases contains full details of the heroic deed that won them the medal. The Gazette is the one of the official journals of the British Government and can be classed as one of the oldest surviving English newspapers.
The records contain full details of the soldier awarded the medal –their name, rank, regiment, date of medal citation and details of their heroism in battle, all easily found using 'SmartSearch' on TheGenealogist.
Men from all walks of life found the strength and resilience to summon up acts of courage to go above and beyond the call of duty.
The first Battle of Ypres reached a crisis point for the British at the end of October 1914. The 1st Division were being driven back and the 1st Coldstream Guards had been wiped out in the fighting. At a critical moment, Sergeant J. Kirkcaldy of the 26th (Heavy) Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery (as seen in the illustration), brought up fresh horses under a terrific shellfire to replace those already killed. His gallant conduct saved a transport wagon. Details of his DCM Medal award can be found on TheGenealogist:
On October 20th 1914 at Chateau de Flandre, Sergeant Forwood of the 3rd East Kents (The Buffs) found himself in a desperate situation. Initially buried alive when a German shell hit his machine gun position killing or wounding his comrades, despite receiving numerous wounds himself, he managed to escape and report the situation to his headquarters to ensure their position was covered. His DCM award appeared in the London Gazette in early 1915 and an artist's impression of the trauma he suffered is illustrated here.
His full details and link to the London Gazette are all found in the new DCM records on TheGenealogist.
Mark Bayley, Head of Online Content at TheGenealogist concludes: "We are continually making more historic military records available and our new DCM Collection with its link to the London Gazette brings all the information together for the family historian. Our collection of military records goes from strength to strength with more to come."
To find out the extreme bravery of our soldiers and their courage in the line of duty see the dedicated page on TheGenealogist.co.uk/DCM. There you will find photographs, stories, statistics and a free search facility.

Family History sent me round the houses today!
I was back in the area of Jersey where I grew up today.
It was not my family history that I was researching, but ancestors belonging to someone else.
I had received a request to take a photograph of the house in which my contact's forebears had lived and so I went to my computer and opened TheGenealogist.co.uk and looked up the head of the household in their Channel Island records.
This site has some "Jersey Almanacs" which are very useful trade directories for the islands and soon I was on the trail.
The Genealogist also has the full run of census data and images, which I next used to quickly find the person in question.
Unless you are new, to family history research, then you will be aware that the census collections are also available on Ancestry and Findmypast as well. I tend to use all three sites, as sometimes the transcription on one may help me better locate a person with a difficult name spelling.
In the 1901 and 1911 census it was quite plain that the family in question lived around the harbour at St Aubin, in the parish of St Brelade. The census in each case clearly gave the name of the house, though it was different in 1911 from 1901 so there was the possibility that the family had moved a very short distance. Either that or they had changed the name of their house.
So a simple task, you may think. All I had to do was pop along to the road in question and snap a building. Even if the house name was no longer visible, or had changed, there was bound to be a property in the road that had retained its name and I could use as a reference point. All I would need to do is count down the houses from that one.
Oh that it was so easy! You see the harbour front has some alleyways off it and these had different road names today from the ones used in the census. It seems to me that the parish has gone back to using the older French names for these roads from the Anglicised ones used in 1901 and 1911.
Another problem was that off these alleys were some semi-detached cottages, some of which are reached via foot paths. Also there were a set of steps, leading up to the steep Market Hill that rises behind the harbour, on which three more un-named cottages perched.
Both of the census records ignored the Methodist Church, that sat in the middle of the harbour frontage between one of my reference properties, as is to be expected if it had no residents to be counted. But it was also obvious that, in times past, some of the other buildings would have been warehousing, or other uninhabited commercial buildings and so these too were not enumerated. This made my task of counting down the houses to the ones for which I was searching, difficult.
I consulted the "Description of the Enumeration District" as in some cases this can give you a good idea of the enumerator's walk. In this case it mentioned the names of the roads, in general, but did not explain how he had dealt with buildings set behind each other or to the side.
By finding some more reference buildings, that is those that have retained their names through to today, I was able to tie down the house in the 1901 to being on one plot. I am not certain that it is the actual building as it may well have been built later, it not having many of the period features of its neighbours to give away its age.
So only a partial victory for family history research this week, but the Description of the Enumeration District can be a useful tool elsewhere and browsing through a road on the census can often be illuminating in other ways. Sometimes you may find more members of the family living close by and a child missing from one house in its grandparent's or Aunt and Uncles. I remember finding this in my own family in Plymouth.

Over 62,000 new parish records now available at Findmypast
Have you heard that findmypast.co.uk has this week added 62,625 new parish records to the website as part of its ongoing project with the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS)?
The new records consist of transcripts of baptism and burial registers that have been added to Findmypast's existing collection of Cheshire, Sheffield and North West Kent parish records.
2,653 burial records spanning the years 1683 to 1850 from Church Hulme chapelry have been added in partnership with Cheshire Family History Society. The parish was called Church Hulme until 1974, when it acquired its present day name of Holmes Chapel..
15,216 records spanning the years 1867-2000 from Sheffield & District Family History Society have been added to the Sheffield, St Silas, Broomhall Street baptisms, bringing the total number of Sheffield parish baptism records to 239,220. The parish was created in 1866 when the parishes of St Peter and St Paul were merged and was called St Silas, Gilcar until it was renamed St Silas, Broomhall in 1990.
9, 756 new records have been added to Findmypast's already extensive collection of North West Kent baptisms, which now total 28,070 records. These new additions come from the parish of Stone, St Mary the Virgin, covering the years 1718-1955 and were transcribed by North West Kent Family History Society. The 13th century church of St Mary's has been dubbed 'Little Westminster' and is regarded as one of the finest in the county.
A further 35,000 records from 18 different parishes have also been added to the North West Kent burial registers, meaning the collection now houses an impressive 136,574 records. North West Kent comprises areas within the London boroughs which were historically part of Kent, such as, Greenwich, Bexleyheath and Chislehurst.
Debra Chatfield, family historian at findmypast.co.uk, said: "Parish records are one of the most valuable tools in a family historian's arsenal. These exciting new additions bolster our already extensive collection of parish records and mean that now even more people, wherever they are in the world, have the opportunity to discover their UK ancestors online".

Family History Research finds moved house
Summer holiday time can be a great opportunity to look at the places where your ancestors lived.
Quite often I have used time visiting an area to walk down the streets where my ancestors footsteps went before me and just imagining how it would have been in their day.
I will have often have prepared for such a trip beforehand. In most cases using the census collections and copies of trade directories to"get a feel" for the location in their era.
It is important to try and understand the social history of the town or area where our forebears lived, but what about our own history? Shouldn't we try and document our times for those who follow?
As we grow older we constantly find that things have moved on, streets have changed, businesses have closed up, buildings demolished.
This week I was reminded of this fact by a visit from several cousins of mine to Jersey. A first cousin, his daughter plus fiancé, flew in from Canada, while a first cousin once removed, plus husband, came from the Midlands by plane. (If you find cousin relationships difficult to understand then check out my free report here.)
My elder cousin from Canada had memories of certain shops, that he had gone to with our grandparents and would have liked to have taken a trip to. The problem was that they had long since gone or changed in the intervening years.
We managed, however, to do many of the sites that had family associations for us; but I was still struck at how change in my own lifetime had crept up on my local environment. From the reclamation of land for a cinema, swimming-pool complex, 5 star hotel and housing apartments, which now replaces the beach where my science teacher had taken the class to learn some hands-on Marine Biology, to the house by the airport where my younger cousin (now based in England) had once lived as a child.
This was to be a great story as the Georgian farmhouse had been demolished, as new regulations deemed it to be too close to the airport runway. In actual fact there had been a dreadful air crash when my cousins lived in it, but she and her mother were thankfully away from the house at the time. In the fog a light aircraft had flown into said building with the loss of the pilot's life.
Yesterday we took a trip to the site of the demolished house and walked around the footprint of the building. It was an eerie feeling as we picked our way over the old foundations.
I noticed the former garden still had flowers and plant bushes in it that indicted its past life as a formal front garden. These hardy specimens fighting through the weeds and wild foliage that aimed to sometime soon take control.
The happy ending to this piece is that the house was demolished stone-by-stone and it has sprung up again in restored Georgian glory as the cladding to a replica house a few miles down the road! The project is ongoing and the people behind it have a website here: http://savethelistedbuilding.com/
Yesterday we were privileged to be allowed to visit the house's new site and my cousin, who had once lived within its granite structure, was delighted with the restoration and the positive ambience of its new location.
Think of those who will come after us, what stories can we leave them about our times?

Daring First World War escapees revealed
TheGenealogist.co.uk
With Monday being the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War there are many new records online.
With all the websites highlighting their records for the war that was meant to be "the war to end all wars" we have quite a choice.
So I was looking for something distinct to look at this week.
Luckily I've heard from the team at TheGenealogist about some new records that approach WWI from a slightly different angle.
TheGenealogist has just released for the first time two million military records that have uncovered the determined Allied servicemen who escaped from First World War POW Camps.
These new records include both officers and other ranks, listing those men who endured the hardships and often brutal regimes as a prisoner of war. It's an area of the Great War that is very rarely looked at.
The hardship and disease that became rife in the camps made many men look to escape. The Allied Officers, although held in slightly better conditions, also had an unwritten code that it was every officer's duty to try to escape and many tried and failed.
The new release gives details of the Allied Officers behind the escape attempt at Holzminden Camp, near Hannover in 1918, where a tunnel was dug for 8 months using cutlery as digging tools. 29 men escaped, 19 were eventually caught but 10 got away and returned to England. Their daring escape inspired the prisoners in the famous 'Great Escape' of The Second World War.
Holzminden Camp held a number of high profile Allied servicemen. Conditions were harsh as it was used for the most troublesome prisoners, who made regular escape attempts. Prisoners listed on TheGenealogist's records include Michael Claude Hamilton-Bowes-Lyon (The Queen's Uncle), William Leefe Robinson (who shot the first German airship down over London and who was kept in solitary confinement for repeated escape attempts) and James Whale (future Hollywood Director of 'Frankenstein').
Mark Bayley, Head of Online Content at TheGenealogist, commented:
"Our new unique records are a great resource to track down those First World War ancestors. With our extensive range of military records it's now possible to find out if your ancestor was a casualty or taken prisoner of war of if they were one of the lucky ones who made it through unscathed. With this being the centenary year of the outbreak of The First World War, it is the perfect time to explore your family tree and discover the war service of your ancestors."

How Microsoft's censorship of GitHub will affect Bitcoin
decrypt.co 02 November 2019 03:00, UTC
Reading time: ~3 m
Software hosting platform Github yesterday took down the APK of a protest organization app utilized by the Tsunami Democràtic—a group advocating Catalonian independence—following a court request.
This marks another time that GitHub—which was acquired by Microsoft in June, 2018—has censored its platform, after it suddenly blocked developers in Iran, Syria and Crimea from using its services. But there's a wider issue here for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. Github is a repository for almost every piece of code in the cryptocurrency sector. And some developers think this is such a worrying problem that it is only a matter of time before the Bitcoin repository will have to be moved.
"It only took a few months for Microsoft to destroy GitHub culture and openness. Such a shame," Andreas Antonopoulos, author of Mastering Bitcoin, tweeted.
Antonopoulos pointed out that the underlying protocol, known as git is decentralized, which means Microsoft can't stop it with the press of a button. But, what he described as the "collaboration platform" is still on GitHub—the place where everyone discusses what pieces of code should be implemented and requests to add new code are made. And if this were to happen, it would be a nuisance. "Wouldn't be surprised if GitHub de-platformed Bitcoin devs at some point," he added.
In response, a GitHub spokesperson told Decrypt that compliance with government officials was sometimes mandatory to ensure operational integrity within a given territory. He said, "Although we may not always agree with those laws, we may need to block content if we receive a valid request from a government official, so that our users in that jurisdiction may continue to have access to GitHub to collaborate and build software."
But this hasn't come as a surprise to Bitcoin developers. Wladimir van der Laan tweeted back in June, 2018, that the Bitcoin repository should move because of Microsoft's acquisition. However, he added, "No real hurry, but I expect this is the beginning of a long painful road of [GitHub] toward [obsolescence], possibly ending the same way as codeplex did." (Codeplex being a code sharing platform that Microsoft shut down in 2017)
But if the Bitcoin repository on GitHub should move, where should it go?
One option is GitHub's main competitor, GitLab. It's an open source project and has tools for self-hosting repositories, enabling teams to keep full control over their own projects.
Some cryptocurrencies have already moved over. Last year, Sia cryptocurrency migrated over to GitLab and hasn't looked back since.
"GitHub has become something of a backbone for open source projects over the past few years. This is ironic, as GitHub itself is closed source and centralized," David Vorick, CEO of Sia, said, in a blog post at the time. "GitLab on the other hand has aligned themselves much more with the true open source philosophy."
Alternatively, there is a version of the Bitcoin repository available on Tor, maintained by van der Laan himself. Tor is a network for anonymous communication, accessed via the Tor browser.
Other developers are experimenting with peer-to-peer technology to fill the void beginning to open in the light of Github's recent moves. Developers have built platforms like Radicle, which offers peer-to-peer code communication but is still in beta mode.
GitHub's actions serve as a warning to those building decentralized platforms, that they should stay wary, to prevent elements of centralization from seeping through. On Tuesday, the founder and inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners Lee, reminded us that, since it started, the first Internet has been constantly subverted and that it's time to "fight for the web we want." The time is now.

Viral video celebrates life and reflects on loss following Milton bushfire
Glynis Quinlan 24 August 2018
The video is told from the point of view of little Latrell Paewhenua who is fighting for his life in hospital. This is a still from the video
A moving video told from the point of view of a premature baby boy fighting for his life is going viral as it honours the firefighters who fought to protect the family's South Coast home and save their "new beginning".
The at times gut-wrenching video begins by tracing the story of the Paewhenua family as they tried to overcome the string of personal adversities brought on by the loss of their first son 18 months ago.
Little Harrison died just eight hours after he was born due to a bleed in the brain. His mother, Jemma Paewhenua, developed post-traumatic stress disorder and could no longer run the yoga studio franchise business she had recently purchased.
From there, it was all downhill for Jemma and her husband, Heemi. They were left in a lot of debt and had to sell their family home in Wollongong and one of their cars to pay it off.
With nothing left, they moved to an old caravan next to Jemma's grandparents' house on their Milton property on the NSW South Coast – requiring a big change of mindset but proving to be a "safe of healing" for them.
Heemi and Jemma in a happy moment (a still from the video).
Then came some surprising news. "I found out a couple of days before New Year's that I was pregnant," Jemma told About Regional.
It was a "magical" experience for the Paewhenuas but there was another struggle ahead. Jemma gave birth to a new little son, Latrell, at Royal Randwick Women's Hospital on May 28 but he was 11 weeks early and had to battle to survive.
In the words attributed to little Latrell on the video, "I was 610 grams when I was born, but I was so strong and eager.
"So my grandpa and daddy worked so hard to build my bedroom while I fought and fought and fought and fought".
With two short exceptions, Jemma has spent all her time at the hospital with Latrell since he has been born, often also with Heemi.
However, back on the Milton property, her 'Pop' had decided to go ahead with building a nursery for Latrell next to the caravan's annexe, taking a couple of months to complete it. The "amazing" room had been completed for about two weeks when the fires hit on Wednesday, August 15.
Again in the words attributed to Latrell on the video: "Then disaster hit – over 100 hectares burnt already.
"The firefighters came and found the fire. It had surrounded our home."
Jemma recalls: "I had a call from my Mum saying 'What do you need from the caravan? We've got to evacuate right now'."
Jemma's Pop insisted on staying behind to help the firefighters – who included crews from Long Beach Rural Fire Brigade among others.
"All the bush surrounding the property and neighbouring properties was alight," Jemma said. But her grandparents' home, the caravan and little Latrell's nursery were all saved by the firefighters.
A photo taken of burnt out land just metres from the Milton home which was saved.
Again, in the words attributed to Latrell on the video, "So we want to say a huge thank you to the NSW RFS and everyone else who helped. You didn't just save our home, you saved our new beginning.
"One last thing, we'd like to say an extra special thank you to pilot Allan Tull (the helicopter pilot who died when his firefighting helicopter crashed near Ulladulla last Friday afternoon).
"My brother Harrison will be waiting for you in heaven to thank you too. We hope that legacy inspires everyone to help others!"
Jemma said that she posted the video on Facebook because she wanted to send a message of gratitude to everyone who has helped during the bushfires and to "inspire more people to do good".
"There are not enough people celebrating the good," she said.
Jemma has been pleasantly surprised to see the video take off. In less than three days (since being posted on Sunday), it has already been viewed by 35,000 people and had 730 shares.
Since posting the video, Jemma has met up in person with some of the firefighters who helped save her home and has found out that her message of thanks has also reached Allan Tull's family.

"I've been contacted by RFS volunteers all over the state thanking me and, their messages consistently say that they never hear about the good that happens to the homes they save," Jemma said.
"These guys are absolutely amazing and all of them are volunteers. I truly hope that our message has inspired people enough to help others in any way they can."
Meanwhile, little Latrell is still in hospital but Jemma and Heemi are hoping to bring him home in a couple of weeks.
"He's still got a couple of hurdles to jump but the doctors can't believe how well he's done," said Jemma.
Now that you know the background, there is only one thing left for you to do…
This is a message of gratitude to everyone who has helped during the bushfires. There's a special message in here for pilot Allan Tull (the pilot who tragically lost his life), so PLEASE SHARE with everyone as we're hoping it will reach his family 💜💚

I wish I could start eating semolina again. Can I substitute with cornmeal?
Thank you, but to be honest I do not know – its worth trying out.
I am not sure, my comment went through.
Can I use cornmeal to replace semolina?
We make these but with mashed potato and flour boiled or lightly fried shaped like cavatelli.

Here are the most Googled terms for 2017
So what's the most Googled term for 2017? It seems like this year went by quickly, but at the same time it was a never ending year of controversy and natural disasters with a few light moments thrown in just to make sure humanity didn't go insane. Since we spend most of our time on the Internet, it's only natural that Google, one of the world's most popular search engines, has released some of the most Googled search terms for 2017.
Here were the top 10:
Mayweather vs Mcgregor fight
This was not the only list released by Google. The popular search engine was able to compile a list of different popular categories including most Googled songs, season finales and people.
Top three people include:
Maghan Markle
Top three television season finales include:
Top three movies include:
Top three songs include:
Bad and Boujee
and my personal favourite…
Top three 'how to':
How to make slime?
How to make solar eclipse glasses?
How to watch the solar eclipse?
The 'how to' section remains to be the most popular according to Google data. 'How to' questions ranged from natural disasters to politics. 'How to make slime?' was the most popular question asked in the United Kingdom and the United States. Strangely, the iPhone 8 was searched for more times than the iPhone X. In terms of the most searched woman, Meghan Markle — no surprise since she stole the heart of one of the most eligible bachelors in the world. There was also an increase in the question of 'How to buy bitcoin?'
In a statement released by Google, they said the most googled terms say a lot about the last year. "These questions show our shared desires to understand our experiences, to come to each other's aid, and ultimately, to move our world forward."

Why is no one #PrayingForEgypt?
Over 300 people were killed Friday during a militant attack on a mosque in northern Sinai. At least 27 were children. The last number of wounded was recorded at 128.
During the imam's sermon, the attackers opened fire. They were positioned at the doors and windows, which meant no one could escape. Explosions erupted. Officials say at least two dozen people carrying a black Daesh banner were shooting into the crowd of innocent worshippers.
It is being called one of the deadliest assault by Islamic extremists in modern history.
And yet — no one is praying for Egypt on social media.
In November 2016, 128 people died in a suicide bombing and shooting in Paris. Six worshipers were killed and 19 injured when a lone gunman fired into a Quebec mosque in January. In June, a bomb went off at an Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester. Twenty two people died. The Las Vegas shooting left 58 people dead and 546 injured.
In each of these occasions, people #prayed. They filtered their social media pictures and marked themselves "safe" on Facebook. You couldn't open Twitter without seeing a heart emoji or a trending hashtag. Families sat in their living rooms watching CNN or CBC, glued to the television screen in horrified silence.
And yet, an attack that left over 300 people dead received little public attention. There was no Facebook check-in that I'm aware of. No image filter. There was a trending hashtag – #PrayForEgypt – but most of the people using it were from the region or had a connection to the region.
On my own social media feed, there was practically nothing. I pride myself on following a diverse set of people, but still my westernized twitter lists had very little information on the tragedy, and even less personal messages. The same people who prayed for Manchester were not praying for Egypt.
Why the discrepancy? Is it because Egypt is a predominately Muslim country or that the atrocity took place in a mosque? Is it because the country is not a typical Western ally? Is it because people just don't care about things that don't happen in their home or neighbouring countries?
The news has reported the incident, but it has been largely overshadowed by the political shakeup in Zimbabwe or the engagement of Prince Harry. That's not an excuse, but a reality of the news cycle. It's up to everyone to individually pay attention to what is happening around the world and not pass judgement on who to care about.
Three hundred people are dead. Twenty-seven children are dead. Their only sin is that they were praying in a mosque frequented by Sufis, one of the muslim sects in Egypt.
Whether it's a shooting at a popular tourist attraction, a bombing in a war-torn country like Iraq, or a shooting in a place of worship in Egypt, a human life is a human life. If you are going to pray for one, you should pray for all.
#PrayFor Egypt.

Orlando shooting a devastating LGBTQ tragedy
The celebratory spirit of pride month has been severely affected by the Orlando Shooting, devastating the LGBTQ community and inciting fear for the upcoming pride parade on July 3.
Forty-nine people were shot and killed in Orlando at 2 a.m early Sunday morning at the Pulse, with 43 others still in the hospital with injuries. Pulse, a gay club in the city, was celebrating a Latin themed night when the shooter opened fire on partygoers. This tragedy is the worst mass shooting against the LGBTQ community in history.
The shooter, Omar Mateen, emphasized his allegiance to the Daesh extremist group and ISIS in a 911 call that took place in the club's bathroom, where he held 30 hostages until the police shot him at approximately 5 a.m. Mateen had previously been investigated by the FBI for a relation to a suicide bomber in Syria, but there wasn't enough evidence to file charges.
On Sunday, another man, armed with three assault rifles and explosive chemicals, was arrested in Southern California. He was reportedly headed to the West Hollywood gay pride parade. Today, University of Toronto has also been placed on lock-down due to a young man carrying a gun being reported in the area. It is unclear if this is related to recent events in Orlando.
Targeted attacks on the LGBTQ community are so devastating — there is simply no amount of words to describe the level of sadness and anger that people are experiencing right now. There are no words for the level of pain this has caused a community that has already experienced marginalization for centuries. There are no words for the families and friends of these beloved and innocent individuals.
It is clear that the shooting is a blatant example of the need for more extreme gun laws in the United States. People are not safe and marginalized communities are being needlessly attacked. An attack on Muslim culture (as Donald Trump proceeded to do as quickly as possible) is not appropriate either. Inciting further hatred against a religious group that desires no affiliation with ISIS and its extremist tactics does not respectfully honour the victims of this tragedy.
Toronto Pride month executive director Mathieu Chantelois announced Monday morning that the Pride Parade will be dedicated to the victims of the Orlando shooting. Extra security measures are also set to be implemented at the parade, as well as other pride events throughout the month. The fear that will accompany the remaining events of Pride and at the parade itself is disheartening. People are afraid, and this could affect participation in the important annual celebration of LGBTQ pride.
Though people are fearful, the Orlando shooting gives Toronto the opportunity to ban together as a strong and supportive community for the LGBTQ. It is essential to show homophobic extremists that we will not be broken by misguided hatred. Support the LGBTQ, attend Pride, and let's show our love for the brothers and sisters that have fallen in Orlando.

Tiny MCU architectures: AVR, PIC, 8051, STM8, MSP430, custom RISC...
josuah:
A lot of interesting approaches, and promising low-power, low-price, high-reliability (in various amount) in the 8-bit world.
I did not find a place that was comparing the architecture of these MCU, so I am collecting wisdom and trying to dive down this littlebig world and report what I found.
Note: I am not curious about which is better, just trying to understand what makes an 8-bit instruction set modern, and what is the way followed by 8-bit MCUs.
AVR is said to be a newer architecture, has a maintained GCC port (it was about to be dropped but survived!).
It has an interrupt system requiring the push all registers used by the ISR, which I think GCC can minimize as an optimization.
8051 have multiple register banks which dodge that problem by switching to a new set of registers while entering an interrupt and going back to the usual register set when leaving.
12T instructions (12 clocks ticks per CPU instruction) for everything... only for very old 8051, and 1T for most instructions for the modern 8051.
PIC uses paging for accessing RAM, instead of concatenating two registers (the "X", "Y", "Z" registers on AVR, or DPTR on 8051).
Mostly used with assembly, or a proprietary C toolchain or an endangered(?) SDCC compiler port.
MSP430, I do not know much about it, except it is a 16-bit arch which avoids some of the problems of 8-bit registers. I suppose 16-bit address space.
STM8 has interesting features such as having a single address space ("modified Harvard"?) for everything, I do not know much more.
PicoBlaze which is FPGA-Only is taking an interesting approach to use fewer LUT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoBlaze#Architectural_notes
But noone producing any of these on a foundry AFAIK.
Now in all of this, something I wonder: Why is AVR said to be a modern architecture than, say, 8051?
* The fact that it has 3 memory pointers? X, Y, Z vs just DPTR
* No limitation to just an accumulator register? Although does it much change anything in practice outside compiler optimization?
* The fact that it is 1T for most things? Which is also true for modren 8051
* A simpler instruction set encoding scheme? Like how RISC-V is said to be modern for having a easy to implement instruction decoding
Although looking at AVR and 8051, I find the AVR a bit more complex and irregular
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmel_AVR_instruction_set#Instruction_encoding
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8051#Instruction_set
* The limited set of instructions (RISC)? Recent 8051 are hardwired rather than microcoded (C8051 from these same EFM8BB), and 128 of the 256 instructions are for specifying the register to work on.
Last but not least, any hint in what makes an 8-bit power-efficient (how to get the core smaller, spend less time doing more things to go back to sleep quicker using less power, etc...) and simple to implement (say, on an FPGA) is welcome!
Picuino:
The microcontroller core is important, but not the only thing. The peripherals matter just as much, if not more.
AVR has a superb core and a port of GCC as a compiler.
The PIC core doesn't look as good to me, but PICs have a great peripheral system.
Now that Microchip has bought Atmel, some AVRs are appearing with PIC peripherals, which in my opinion is the best combination that could be made.
rhodges:
The STM8 is my favorite 8-bit MCU. It has a nice set of addressing modes, and the SP + offset is very handy. Writing to Flash and EEPROM is super easy. The interrupt vector table makes ISRs straightforward. Programming the chips is also fast and easy with ST-LINKv2 USB adapters.
Kleinstein:
The actual CPU part of a µC is usually only a small part of the chip. So the core size is less relevant. This makes it possible the 16 bit MSP430 to compete with the 8 bit ones. often ADC and similar mesured values are more like 10-12 bit wide and thus need 2 byte operations. So the 16 bit CPU makes absolute sense and indeed saves some hassles, e.g. with 8 bit acess to 16 bit counters or 10/12 bit ADC results.
With plenty of transistors available a small CPU is less important, it is now more about relatively small code a compiler can produce.
How much power a µC uses depends a lot on the production technology used - the instruction set is more like a small part here, though it does have some effect.
As an odd side effect the chips with more transistors may consume less power as they tend to use smaller strucktures.
The AVRs are relatively new (the 8051 and PICs (e.g. PIC16) are quite old and from times when the transistors in the actual CPU mattered a bit more).
To make a GCC port easy the AVR CPU has quite a lot of similar CPU registers and avoids the RAM / register paging of the 8051 / PIC than can make programming quite a hassel.
However the separate code / RAM adress spaces also causes some hassels for the compiler / programmer.
The more RISC like commands (seprate load/store and ALU commands) also works well with the opimization of modern compilers made with Risc processors in mind. The compilers have also changed: In the early days the stack oriented TMS1000 was easy for a compiler.
AFAIK a large point to make the AVRs quite popular was also that they were relatively fast to include flash memory instead of OTP memory.
Having to save the registers by the ISR code is a common solution, it keeps the CPU simple and in most cases only some registers are needed and this part is more like easy for the compiler.

It is useful to include the opcode size range, for MCU comparisons.
eg PIC's vary with 12 and 14 and 16b opcodes, for various models, and the tiny PICs have very limited HW stacks.
8051 have 1,2,3 byte opcodes
The oldest NMOS 8051's had a 6 clock phase, and needed 12 or 24 clocks for most opcodes.
The more modern 1T 8051 started with mostly 1 clock per byte, but some recent models use a 32 bit fetch, and on those models a 24bit opcode can execute in 1 sysclk.
You could also include parts like Zilog Z8 (8b) and Siemens (infineon) C166 (16b) FWIR those both used a register frame pointer, which allowed register banks to be moved across RAM space.
That expanded on the 8051's 4 register banks for interrupts.

power-efficient is mostly the process.
getting the core smaller usually means getting it simpler. eg Multiply and Divide are nice to have but costly in core area.


Pretty happy with this. Used a custom gloop brush, watercolour brush, and airbrush.
I really love this one! I'm delighted in front of Oriental and Japanese graphical art forms! I recently visited an Escher's exhibition and found an analogy of one of his prints with the famous Hokusai's Big Wave.
Cool! I try to visit museums and galleries as often as I can too. I was inspired to do this one after watching a YouTube video of a guy that does modern woodcut printing.
Very good. Masterful artwork and has that classical Chinese look to it.
You're on a roll. A bunch of very fine paintings in these last offerings. You seem to have gotten inside the original artists' heads and can bring it out on demand. Very adaptive and scholarly.
Thanks D. I think the original watercolor on silk painting is really huge. Like 5 feet high or around there. The pic was low resolution so I had to guess at some of the detail. But, it was fun to do. Thanks for your support.
