This past weekend we took Zach on his first college visit to Virginia Military Institute. It was a great weekend, a spectacular visit and a perfect fit for Zach. For me, as you can probably guess, it was more than a little emotional, as I thought about Zach leaving his third floor room empty and living in the mountains of Virginia.
VMI is the only school he wants to attend. He fell in love and is ready to commit to a spartan life to acquire the education and the life he wants. All I can say, "I love you, Zach" and, "I'm proud of you," and, "Wow! You are one in a million!" As I sat listening to the leadership of VMI talk about their school and the kinds of kids who want to attend their school, I could only think of it as being a great fit for Zach. It's not an ordinary experience and Zach isn't an ordinary kid. So the fit seems just right.
The only problem is that Zach has to leave home, and me, to get the education he wants. I've always known this day would come. Granted it came a lot faster than I ever thought it would and I know it's still a year away, but time will speed on and get us to the day Zach leaves home for the first time before I can bat an eye. As I sat listening to all of the meetings at VMI, and realizing what a great school it would be for Zach, I had visions of life fast forwarding and it left me wondering where Lucas and Claire would find their perfect fits. And then I imagined the house quiet and empty.
I had to banish those thoughts and work hard to focus on Zach's excitement, otherwise my tears that were lurking just below the surface would come spilling forth and I'd be an embarrassment to Zach at the Institute he so wants to be part of.
It was a busy, exhausting day and half but I survived and even thrived when I kept the thoughts of an empty house at bay. We came home to more busy-ness and marched on toward our other obligations. Lucas had a hockey game and then Stan and I had an evening out to celebrate a milestone birthday of a friend. Zach retreated to his third floor room to recuperate from his grueling weekend at VMI.
With our evening of obligations, fun and festivities complete, Stan and I came home to a very unclean kitchen and I flipped a gasket. It was the one thing I told the kids to do as we left for our dinner out ~ clean the kitchen. I wanted to come home to clean counters, tables, floors, sink and appliances. I love a clean kitchen and the kids know it. The kitchen that greeted me was no where near the image of the clean kitchen I know the kids are capable of. I was most unimpressed with the conditions I found and I proceeded to make everyone aware of my displeasure. I made the kids clean the kitchen at 11 o'clock last night as I stormed through the house grumbling about how no one, but no one, wants to do what I've asked them to do.
This morning I found this….
How very true and how very contrite it made me. Our house will be empty before I know it. Maybe I need to take a step back, just a little one mind you, and remember the emotional aspects of Zach's college visit, time speeding on and seeing our kids find their perfect fit. Maybe then a messy kitchen won't seem so bad when it's compared with an empty house.

The Antique Sellers of Jew Street
Location: About 10 km from Ernakulam town
It's almost a walk down the lanes of antiquity. The Jew Street is lined with shops that sell curios, antique pieces of crockery, carved wooden furniture, bronze and brass sculptures, remnants of traditional houses, and jewellery. The antique sellers of these streets are the descendants of a fast dwindling population of Jews who settled down here in AD 52. Every piece that they sell has its own tale to narrate - of a palace or a home of the nobility, of travels across many lands and ages.
The Jewish Synagogue here, a mark of exceptional architecture and history, is a fascination for hundreds of visitors everyday. There are a few other Jewish settlements too in the State. But Kochi has made a name with its synagogue and the popular antique shops.
Getting there :
Nearest railway station : Ernakulam about 10 km.
Nearest airport : Cochin International Airport, about 30 km.

Digital marketing is not just a catchphrase thrown around at networking events. Well, you need to understand the types of digital marketing at your disposal. This type of marketing can surely get you the results that you need for your business. Now, try to ask yourself, do you really know what a digital campaign is? If the answer is no, then it's okay.
This article will help you understand the ins and outs of a digital campaign. And by the end of reading this, you will feel confident in your ability to employ online marketing as an effective part of your overall campaign strategy.
Now, what is digital marketing?
When we say digital marketing, it is the type of marketing that uses digital technologies to promote the product or services. In fact, there are two forms of this strategy, the online and offline. But before we touch on these two forms, let us know first why digital campaign matters.
In today's trend, people tend to spend too much time on their electronic devices especially on their mobile phones. And this is why digital promotion is more important and impactful than ever before. Think of it, without digital promotional efforts, you will not reach your target audience online. And as a result, your business will be left in the dust. Thus, you don't need to be left behind. If you consider the different types of digital marketing and think about which one works best for your company and target audience, you're all set.
Search Engine Optimisation or also known as SEO is a process of boosting your online visibility in an organic or unpaid search engine result. Well, search engine results pages appear to users after they search for a set of keywords using a search engine. By the way, an example of a search engine is Google, Bing or Yahoo. Each user will receive an individual results page based on keywords, the location of the user searching, and their browsing history.
Moreover, the organic search results appear in a list and are ranked using the search engine algorithm. And as the users change the way they search and engage with online content these algorithms also change. Hence, the higher you rank on a SERP or search engine result page, the more traffic is directed to your site and the more chances of visitors and active customer. Likewise, SEO trends change. An algorithm changes every time to fit the user's needs. Well, SEO is never about building a website for the sole purpose of ranking high on a search result. It is about crafting the best website for your target user. And as what SEO experts says, if you stay on top of SEO trends, you are that much closer to more visibility online and increase traffic to your site.
Now, you might be asking how do you get your company's website to appear at the top of a user's organic search results? Well, the answer is by optimising your website using SEO.
And for the other types of digital marketing, we have the search engine marketing or also known as SEM. It covers the ground that SEO ignores; paid traffic from search engines. And with SEM you can purchase advertisement space that appears on a user's SERP. Well, the most common paid search platform is Google AdWords and the next in rank is Big Ads.
The search engine charges an SEO marketer a predetermined amount to display promotion in a number of places on a SERP generated from specific keywords or phrases. Well, pay-per-click advertising or PPC is an example of SEM. It refers to a digital campaign method that search engines charge a company each time their advertisement is clicked. Technically, social media platform starts to adopt PPC advertising in recent months. These ads show up in the news feeds of a company's target audience. And this system is a great example of how the different types of digital marketing bleed into each other to form a complete digital campaign technique. Well, in this case, SEM overlaps with social media marketing.
Speaking of social media marketing, you now know that social media is a crucial part of your marketing strategy. But, let me ask you, do you know the ins and outs of social media campaign? Well, to give you an idea, the social media campaign gives you the increase in exposure. Yes, it allows you to connect with your consumers in a more intimate way. And from this interaction, you can gain valuable customer feedback that will allow you to improve your customer service, products, or other services.
Furthermore, with quality content being posted on your social media you will gain much more target audience. Everything you do to increase traffic or business on your social media channels is called social media marketing. Mostly, everyone benefits from social media marketing especially B2C. So, better pay attention to what your target audience talks about on social media. You may consider engaging in the conversation to build a connection.
It is a practice of delivering a quality piece of content to your users to generate sales and leads. Well, this content can live anywhere online. And yes, content promotion works because it melds together exceptional content with other types of digital marketing like SEO and social media marketing.
Furthermore, in creating content, make sure to keep your audience in mind. Remember who you are talking to and what they are interested in. Because this will dictate the subject of your content. And lastly, don't forget to share your content all over your social media platforms for maximum exposure and feedback.
It is one of the newest types of digital marketing that uses people with an enormous online reach. They are considered as an expert that will help your target market to drive traffic and sales. Influencer marketing is now common on social media networks like Instagram and Snapchat. However, before hiring an influencer, make sure to do your research before doing business with them. You may want to verify their Google analytics and make sure their followers are all legitimate and not full of fake accounts.
Email allows you to send an update to your email subscribers on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, this type of online marketing fosters a relationship unlike any other. Considering that your email updates provide value to your consumer. And as a result, you build brand trust and brand loyalty. Moreover, the best email campaign involves a list of subscribers earned by your content and company, and not paid ones.
Now, each type of digital promotion can happen on a mobile device. But some types of marketing using a mobile phone do not fit the above types of online digital promotion. These include SMS advertising which could prove an asset to the local campaign effort. You can prompt your customer to use SMS to receive special offers, coupons, and updates from your company.
Well, it will be worth to know that your online marketing strategy is not complete with online digital campaign alone. Likewise, you should consider and implement some types of offline advertisement to reach your goals. Furthermore, an enhanced offline campaign is offline marketing that uses electronic devices to boost the user experience. The best example of this is a restaurant that lets customers put in their order with electronic tablets. Well, radio promotion, television advertisement, and phone promotion are also part of offline digital marketing.
How to boost your business using the types of digital marketing?
And now that you already what the types of digital marketing, you can use these to boost the visibility of your business online. And let your customer interact with you. Well, we must stress that this is the real goal of all these digital campaigns. Create an experience for your target audience that boosts your brand into the forefront of your mind. Likewise, quality marketing practices benefit both you and your target audience. Your success is not yet dependent on online marketing alone. But since the people live their lives in today's digital time, it leads marketers to believe this is around the corner. So, always remember that the key to brand visibility is boosting your SEO.

Your HQ
Edward P. Kent
Battery B. 44th Field Artillery Battalion
Normandy, France
Survived the war?
Add your own story today!
Armored memories
Finally we got ready to cast off for Normandy. The date was June 5, 1944. We ran down this little river in Dartmouth and finally out to sea, to the English Channel. When we got out into the Channel it was awfully rough. The wind was blowing hard, sea was running high and it was raining. Conditions were really bad and some of the fellas were getting seasick.
The LCTs were the smallest craft to go all the way across from one side of the channel to the other. The LCIs and LSTs were larger ships. The small landing craft all got loaded just off the beach of Normandy and made the short run in. But we had to ride our landing craft all the way across and it was one rough ride! After we got beat around for quite a while, the order came down for us to turn back. Now remember this was June the 5th, the day that the landing was supposed to take place. But because of the severe weather it was postponed.
So we turned back and headed on back to Torquay, which has a big harbor. In fact it is a big seashore resort on the channel coast. We pulled in the harbor in Torquay and dropped anchor and we had no sooner dropped anchor (it seemed to me) then the air raid sirens went off and we had an air raid. But they didn't hit us; they didn't even come close. They were bombing around the city somewhere.
In a little while we pulled the anchor back up and took off again. This time it was the real thing, we kept going. Going across the Channel it was still pretty rough; the storm had died down some but it hadn't quit all together. It was in that little window of opportunity that General Eisenhower decided that we would go. It's a good thing he did because there was no way they could have kept the fellas on those ships until the next tide was right. That would have been another six weeks or so.
We kept going across the channel, I can remember it was about midnight, or a little after, maybe one or two o'clock in the morning. It was pitch black and we were bucking into the waves and we heard all these airplanes coming. They went right over our heads, in fact they went so low we could look up and see them. It was our paratroopers going over to make their jump. They were in C 47's and they all had the white stripes, they called them the "D Day stripes. These stripes were painted on all the allied planes. So if you saw an airplane with white stripes on the wings, you knew it was a friendly plane.
Of course we had air superiority, which was a very fortunate thing. I doubt the landing would have been successful unless we had that air superiority. It was quite a thrill to see those troopers going over because we knew what was ahead of them; or we thought we knew. A couple of hours before we heard the planes go over the Battery Commander came around and handed each of us a mimeographed sheet of paper. It was General Eisenhower's message to the troops and it was quite an inspirational message. It was the one that said, " You're members of a great crusade and everybody's counting on you. We know your up against great odds but everybody is sure you'll win through to the end."
It was quite an inspiration and as I read that I thought to myself, "Gee, I ought to keep this because this really is a historical document." In the excitement of the next few days I never knew what happened to it. I wish I had put it in a safe place, but I don't think there were too many safe places at that time. We proceeded on and just before it broke daylight we started to hear the thunder of the guns. When you hear artillery off in the distance it sounds just like a big thunderstorm. It was the naval guns opening up with the Naval bombardment of the beach. As we got closer and closer you could pick out the individual gun blasts as they went off.
We were making our final run into the beach. By that time it was daylight. It was about 7:00 in the morning. I think the first wave had hit about 6:30 AM. We passed right off the bow of a battleship. It had all its guns leveled down horizontally; it was lying broadside to the beach. The guns were firing right straight into the beach. Just as we went past the bow I was looking at this ship and was amazed at how big it was and how small a vessel we were on. As they fired broadside with all the guns the battleship jumped sideways in the water about, I guess ten or twelve feet. It was amazing to see a huge vessel like that being shoved that far sideways in the water with the recoil of those guns.
After we had gotten inland a little ways we saw the havoc those naval guns had made. Boy, they blew holes in the ground that you could put a house in! It was unbelievable. Of course some of those holes could have been bomb craters too. They were really doing a lot of damage. I don't know how much damage those Naval guns did to the Germans, but they sure did blow down a lot of houses, tore up a lot of orchards and killed a lot of cows. Just about this time was when we came under fire, our baptism of fire. The shells started coming in and landing all around the boat. The shells were landing around all of the boats and hitting some them, of course.
There was one German gun in particular that seemed to be firing directly at us, because he kept dropping a round right in front of our landing craft. We kept going, didn't take evasive action or anything, just plodded right straight in. He kept firing and they kept falling short and falling short. We thought, " Oh man, that next one is going to be right in here!" But it never was, he finally stopped firing. Whether he shifted his target to something else or he got knocked out or not, I don't know. When we were about 1 1/2 miles from the beach our ship approached an LCT that had struck a mine and was sinking. We passed close enough to the vessel so that we could look down into the cargo compartment. I couldn't see anyone alive, but we couldn't have stopped to help them anyway. I learned later that it was a battery of artillery just like ours. It was Battery B of the 29th Field Artillery Battalion. The ship sank with the loss of 59 officers and men. When we got closer to the beach we came under small arms fire. You could hear the machine guns open up, rattling on the ramp, the steel door at the bow of the ship. The whole bow goes down and that's what you run off on, the ramp of the boat. We could hear this German machine gunner, boy he was really peppering away at the bow of the ship. We thought, " Man when we pull into the beach and drop that ramp down he's going to be able to shoot right in here." But he never did either. He probably got knocked out before we ever hit the sand.
So, we kept peeking over the side. You'd raise your head up and take a quick peek at the beach to see how close we were coming and it was getting pretty close. Finally we felt the lurch that meant the ship has grounded itself. They had dropped the kedge anchors back just before we grounded. When we heard those kedge anchors go down we knew we were really close. Then we felt the lurch and came to a sudden stop. It was really a thrill to hear that ramp go down. A ramp makes a lot of noise, all those chains and everything when the ramp is dropped. It was thrilling to hear that ramp go down because you know you are on foreign soil and somebody was doing his best to shoot you. We had our tanks all started and warmed up ready to take off. We did that on our final run in. Our tanks were just idling. The first three guns pulled off and didn't have too much of a problem. We had to pull our gun ahead a little bit, get the armored trailer, swing it around and hook it up.
Well, boy we didn't waste any time doing that! We were working like a bunch of demons to get that thing hooked up. The thing weighed a ton I guess. We got our trailer hooked up and jumped back on the tank; all except the Greek. It was standard operating procedure that the Chief of Section had to lead the tanks off on foot. The reason for that being, if there was a shell hole right there or some kind of an underwater obstacle that nobody had seen before he would see it and be able to direct the tank around it.
I was directing the driver, sitting on the gunner's seat looking over the shield, following the Greek off. He got down into the water, which was about up to his armpits, across his chest. He was plodding through the water and a German opened up on him with a machine gun. This machine gun was kicking up the water all around him. I was looking almost right straight down at him from my perch up on the tank and thought, "Holy mackerel, their just bound to hit him!" He just kept plodding along; he never even ducked down in the water. I think if it had been me I'd have ducked down into the water, but he just kept plodding along. Finally they stopped firing. Of course in a situation like that you never know what happened.
The Greek walked on up the beach and we followed him. Then he clambered aboard our tank. When we got up on the beach our orders were to go right up to the sea wall. Where we landed there was a sea wall, about a five-foot concrete sea wall. It was all pockmarked with shells and bullet holes in it. On the way up, I looked around. It was quite a sight. There were all kinds of vehicles and some were burning. Some tanks with their tracks blown off and some vessels that had grounded and couldn't get back off the beach. They had hit the beach so hard they couldn't back off and the Germans were shooting them full of holes. It was really a chaotic scene. There were quite a few GI's lying around on the beach, some were wounded, some were dead. We pulled up to the sea wall, shut the engine off and prepared for action. It didn't take us too long because we were really professionals at that. The next thing was to get out and dig our personal hole. If you weren't actually on the gun firing you could get down in the hole and take cover. So we got off, dug our holes and were all set to go.
It seems that there was a barrage balloon crew on every landing vessel that came across the channel. This was a crew of about four or five fellas that had a winch, a big heavy winch that was hand operated. However, it was small enough that four men could carry it. They had this barrage balloon that they towed on a long steel cable, to prevent the enemy airplanes from coming in and strafing (machine gunning the troops). It kept the enemy aircraft up at a height above the barrage balloons. If the Germans came down and tried to strafe they'd hit that cable with their wing it would slice the wing right off the plane.
When the vessels hit the beach, these fellas would grab the winch and bring the winch in and set up on the beach. So, all along the beach the barrage balloons were protecting us. I can remember we came under some mortar fire. I was lying down in my hole looking up in the sky, watching a barrage balloon. All of a sudden there was a loud crack close by and the barrage balloon started going straight up in the air. A shell had hit right at the base of the winch and cut the cable. The barrage balloon was loose and I think it wiped out the crew of that barrage balloon. The balloon took off, going somewhere into the stratosphere.
Our forward observer was a First Lieutenant, Lt. Caldwell. He had gone in with Infantry with the first wave. He had gone inland far enough and found a tree. Of course there weren't any trees on the beach, just off the beach were sand dunes and then over the sand dunes was a marshy area. There were only a couple of roads, causeways, across the marshy area. We had to wait until the Infantry had secured the roads before we could get off the beach and get across the marsh. There was no way we could get across the marsh; all the tanks would have gotten bogged down. We had to wait until the causeways were cleared. Lt. Caldwell had gone inland with the infantry and climbed a tree to get observation. While he was up in the tree an Infantryman came along, saw him up in the tree, thought he was a sniper and started shooting at him with his rifle!
He came down out of the tree hollering, "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" He was almost down, the guy kept missing him, and he had one foot up in the air and the guy shot him right through the bottom of the foot. So our forward observer had to go back to the hospital and somebody else took his place. As it turned out we never got a chance to fire even one round off the beach because we didn't have any observation. It was just one of those circumstances of war. Dock Jones and I crawled up on top of the sand dune and we were looking out over top of the sand dune to see how the battle was going to take this marshy area. It was quite a sight. The marshy areas was in front of us and down a little bit lower than we were, so we had ring side seats to this battle. The Infantrymen were slogging through the marsh and every once in a while you'd see a fella open up with a flame-thrower on a pillbox. We couldn't even see the pillboxes; they were so well camouflaged. We couldn't see them from where we were, but we could hear the machine guns, the rifles, hand grenades and mortars going off. It was quite a battle.
While we were observing we saw the causeway off to our left a little bit and it went straight across the marsh and made a hard curve off to the right. This was the causeway we were going to have to go down after the marsh was cleared. There was a farmhouse where the road curved, facing down the causeway. There were a couple of tanks that had started down the causeway, one in back of the other. They couldn't go two abreast, as it was too narrow. We saw them churning down the causeway firing with their turret guns and machine guns. All at once the whole front of the farmhouse flopped down! It was a camouflaged gun position, hiding a German 88- gun crew! They opened up on those two tanks. With the first shot they hit the first tank, it wheeled around and fell over into the ditch. With the second round they got the second tank, it started to burn and also went off into the ditch.
Later on that afternoon when we were going down the causeway ourselves we passed those two knocked out tanks. The first one, the 88 had gone right in the front end and out the back. The second one had caught fire and burned up. It was quite an impressive, and at the same time, discouraging sight to see how easily our tanks could be knocked out with the 88's. This was a very powerful weapon that the Germans had. At that time we didn't have anything that could stand up against them.
Late in the afternoon we got off the beach, got inland and pulled into a firing position. By that time it was almost nightfall as we got the guns prepared for action. We had another forward observer. He radioed back the coordinates to us and we commenced firing on these targets. After it got really dark the firing slacked off a while and a few of us were able to get down and dig our holes. That's what you do at nighttime; you have to sleep in a hole because you never know when a shell is going to come in. If you are sleeping on the ground, above ground, the chances of getting hit are a lot higher than if you are down in a slit trench or a foxhole. It is tough sleeping in a foxhole so most of us dug slit trenches where we could stretch out.

Can Censorship Edit Our Past?
By Yehuda Fogel
Can the present influence the past?
Let's take a jaunt through literary theory for a moment to answer this question, and eventually wiggle our way back to censorship. James Wood, the English literary critic, sketches a fun little dynamic between two great critics: T. S. Eliot and Harold Bloom, regarding the relationship between the individual and the tradition. Check it out.
Eliot, in one of his most celebrated pieces, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," argues that when a new work of art (or words of Torah?) is created, the tradition that precedes it is forced to shift the slightest bit: "something … happens simultaneously to all the works of art that preceded it." The new shapes the old which then shapes the new, each eternally remaking the other, as the past is "altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past."
This is to say that when a new insight or paradigm enters the world, it is not just the product of its own past and tradition, but it also forces us to reconsider the past—the tradition from which this novelty emerged—anew. Put more simply, one can say that at each moment our understanding of the present invites us, challenges us, demands us to think of the past differently—the present changing the past. Rabbi Michael Rosensweig, a contemporary Talmudist and thinker at Yeshiva University, jokes (in my rough paraphrase) that: The Written Torah, or Torah Sh'Bichtav, is really a commentary on the Oral Torah, the Torah Sh'Baal Peh. Rabbi Rosensweig's point is more germane to the intricate relationship between the textual nuances of the Written Torah and the later debates of the Talmud, which he sees as often attempting to work through the very same textual challenges that we often gloss over. However, his formulation helps: just as the present is a commentary on the past, so too the past is a commentary on the present, as each rework and rethink each other.
Enter Harold Bloom. Bloom, a very literary sort of literary person, writes about the "anxiety of influence." (For those anxious about how this connects to censorship, we are getting ever so closer now.) The anxiety of influence refers to our steering away and around the influences with which we disagree. This influence is apparent in our rejections, avoidances, and willful forgettings, in our anxiety to not be influenced. By 'strongly misreading' our predecessors—in our attempted escapes from the river of history and influence—we trace a path that is equally as influenced as those that embrace the influence.
If for Eliot, the past can't escape the influence of the present, for Bloom it is the present that can't escape the influence of the past—no matter how hard he might try. And yet the past and present run away from/towards each other, escape-chasing each other until they clash together in a sweet explosion of time.
This brings us to censorship. Both Eliot and Bloom are right, when applied to censorship. For Eliot, we are engaged in a reconstruction of our past every time we birth something new. It isn't only censorship that creates the narrative of our history, but it is every creative endeavor that we engage in. But Bloom cuts deeper—it is through the anxiety of influence, through the ways we lean away from uncomfortable words, narratives, ideas, institutions, and individuals, that we shape our own narratives. Importantly, the shadows and edges of the undesired narrative is often remnant, marking the edges and urges under the surface of our stated narratives.
To think more about what this set of ideas might tell us about censorship, we will leave the rest to you. We've included some readings that might just guide your way. Each article focuses on an underappreciated moment of contemporary censorship: Naomi Seidman's "Elie Wiesel and the Scandal of Jewish Rage" and Avinoam Rosenak's "Hidden Diaries and New Discoveries: The Life and Thought of Rabbi A. I. Kook." Each tells a story about censorship, and self-censorship, that the paradigms of Eliot and Bloom are useful in utilizing.
We hope you enjoy and don't fall asleep too deep into reading. And always—let us know what you think!

MUNICIPAL VITAL RECORDS INDEX
An index to the first book of municipal vital records (generally, from about 1880 to about 1913) in the nine towns and four villages located within the county has been on this site for years. A new and much better index has now been posted. It is a consolidated index across all the county's municipalities, arranged alphabetically by surname.
The format of each entry is the same as before: it will begin with a capital letter indicating whether the record is a birth (B), a marriage (M) or a death (D). Following this will be the record number, which may be a simple number or one followed by a capital letter; these last are interpolated between the numbers, so they are an integral part of the entry. Last will be one or two lower-case letters indicating the role that person played in the recorded event.
Births have three persons involved: the mother (m), the father (f) and the infant (i).
Deaths also have three persons involved: the decedent (d), his or her mother (m) and father (f).
Marriages have six persons: the bride (b) and her parents (bm, bf); and the groom (g) and his parents (gm, gf).
Entries are preceded by a bold-faced three-letter code indicating the town or village where the event was recorded:
BAR (Barrington) MIL (Milo) TOR (Torrey)
BEN (Benton) MSX (Middlesex) DUN (Dundee)
ITA (Italy) POT (Potter) PYV (Penn Yan)
JER (Jerusalem) STA (Starkey) RVL (Rushville)
It should be pointed out here that there were many opportunities for error, and every effort has been made to find and fix them. These records are on microfilm, and quite evidently legible handwriting was a disqualification for holding the office of clerk. We did the best we could, and compared names to find out which were equivalent; this is a completely new index, done from scratch, and all married women for whom maiden names were given were listed twice, once with their maiden surname in parentheses immediately following the given names, under the married surname; and second with their married surname in parentheses at the end of the entry, under the maiden surname. Many immigrants from Scandinavia used patronymics in the first few years, and these will generate an additional occurence of a particular person's name, as will the fathers of children born out of wedlock, if the baby is listed under his mother's name. All names referred to in this fashion should be tracked down in the index, so all the participants in each event can be located, and perhaps their parents or children.
One must remember that nearly every entry used phonetic spelling to some degree, and that the registrar got his information from a doctor or clergyman, or some other third party, thus introducing ever more chances for the name to be spelled wrong; and this does not account for name variations. We have tried to account for this in the index, but even so, we welcome any correction that is submitted to us. No change will be made however, without an indication of where the correct information comes from.
The index is very large, so is split up into eight large PDF files as follows:
A-B C-D E-G H-K
L-M N-R S T-Z
Transcripts of these records will be made upon email request, at $2 each. Put "Vital Records Request" in the subject line, and give the entire entry, including the name of the municpality and the entire alphanumeric code. Make sure you include your postal address so we know where to send the transcripts.


renewable energy Archives - Kinematics Mfg. Inc.
The United States has made great strides in utilizing renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar) to provide reliable electricity. From 2007 to 2012, electricity from cleaner, more sustainable sources has nearly quadrupled in this country. Wind power more than tripled in the United States during that same time frame.
There is already infrastructure in place to transition over entirely to renewables. Now it's time to employ smart policies and innovation to continue shifting to these renewable power sources in the coming years.
The electricity grid is a highly complex system connecting power sources to consumers. This vast machine is run by grid operators or balance authorities who are constantly matching up electricity supply and demand. Since renewable energy ebbs and flows depending on the sun and wind, this can pose a challenge when it comes to reliability. Thankfully, grid operators are used to dealing with this type of variability and uncertainty. They already have to make constant adjustments for changing demands, outages, and other events, so incorporating more and more renewables shouldn't post much of a problem.
Conventional power plants have their own drawbacks and reliability issues. Many things can affect a plant's ability to generate power, including sudden random outages, severe weather events, and extremely hot temperatures and droughts. Renewable resources are not as vulnerable to lengthy disruptions stemming from weather, safety issues, and other causes. Similarly, renewable plants are typically smaller and therefore, if they do go offline, the impact to the grid is minimal. Another perk to renewables is their price stability compared to fuel-powered plants.
Geographic dispersion: Assimilate renewable power sources over larger geographic areas to help smooth out interruptions and increase reliability.
Better forecasting: Weather observations, meteorological data, and other information can help better project wind and solar output.
Improved scheduling: Allow operators to schedule power delivery on a sub-hourly basis (rather than hourly or a day ahead) to make the grid more efficient, save money, and reduce emissions.
Make power plants more flexible: Moving toward more flexible fossil fuel power plants is an easy way to integrate more variable renewable sources into an electricity grid.
Building new transmission lines: New lines would make the electricity system more reliable and efficient, and enable wind power to displace facilities that cost more to operate.
Managing customer demand: Offer more "demand-response" programs, which pay large customers to reduce their electricity use when demand is high.
Using smart grid technologies: New technologies (sensing, communications, control, and power electronics) can increase efficiency and reliability and provide greater flexibility in controlling power flows, thus enabling plants to integrate large quantities of renewable power.
Storage: Use a variety of storage solutions to manage grid variability over short time frames and store electricity.

My Injury that took me down for 6 1/2 years with CRPS the % is nearly NONE to overcoming this but I am a fighter and I am a SURVIVOR. Determination Hope & Believe is what the Jennifer Baca GoFundME campaign is about.
Right Wrist, Tear involving the volar component of the Scaphoid Lunate Ligament. Fluid distension of the Synovial Sheath of the First Extensor Compartment & some in the Second Extensor Compartment. Diagnosis was Tenosynovitis, First Extensor Compartment & Tenosynovitis, Right Wrist. Small Low Grade Partial Tear of the Volar Component of the Scapula Lunate Ligament. Tenosynovitis of the Extensor Poliosis Breves Tendon at the Level of the Wrist. Partial Tear of the Volar & Mid Fibrous of the Mid Scapular Lunate Ligament. DeQuelvain Tenosynovitis. Longitudinal Split of the Tendon. Right Wrist Sprain & Contusion. Dorsal Subluxation of the Distal Ulna at the Distal Radial Ulna Joint. Tenosynovitis right Wrist & Thumb, Tear of Extensor Tendon & Nerve Damage.
Contusion with severe blunt force to the Radial aspect of her right Forearm, Wrist & Hand.
Chronic Tenosynovitis, First Compartment, Right Wrist with Involvement of the Extensor Pollicus Brevus Tendon.
She sustained a Contusion to the Radial side of her Right Hand, Wrist & Forearm. DeQuelvain or Tenosynovitis of the First Compartment with significant Fluid within the Compartment.
Within medical probability, based on evidence-based literature and the sixth edition of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, her diagnosis is CRPS type 1.
Evaluation of Permanent Impairment edition 6. Therefore, her default impairment of 20% upper extremity is increased to 25% on this reliability as well as the pain inventories- solidifying her ADL loss. The Guidelines in chapter 1 and 2 show that impairment rating is directly proportional to functional challenge or loss. This allows me to increase this impairment rating therefore, within medical probability.
On page 420 of the Guidelines table 15–11, permits conversion of an upper extremity impairment to a whole person impairment. 25% upper extremity impairment is equal to a whole person impairment of 15%.
On page 453 of the 6th edition Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment table 15–24 and 25 symptoms and objective findings in presentations that are utilized for diagnosis and severity.

The Black Canyon of the Colorado is the canyon on the Colorado River where Hoover Dam was built. The canyon is located on the Colorado River at the state line between Nevada and Arizona. The western wall of the gorge is in the El Dorado Mountains, and the eastern wall is in the Black Mountains of Arizona. The canyon formed about 15 million years ago during the Miocene Basin and Range uplift. Black Canyon gets its name from the black volcanic rocks that are found throughout the area.
Just south of the Hoover Dam on the Nevada side of the canyon is the Sauna Cave. This cave was drilled by miners working on Hoover Dam while it was being constructed. It is a deep cave with calcium carbonate crystals on the walls. At the end of the cave is a hot spring, which causes temperatures in the cave to reach 120 °F (49 °C).
One prominent canyon that splits from this canyon south of the Hoover Dam is Boy Scout Canyon. Boy Scout Canyon has water running through it that is warmed from a geothermal source.
On the Arizona side of the river, there are several large hot springs that can be found by taking a trail north from a larger bay about 4 to 5 miles (6.4 to 8.0 km) south of the Hoover Dam. These pools are contaminated by the potentially fatal amoeba Naegleria fowleri.

Kungsladugårds kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad som tillhör Carl Johans församling i Göteborgs stift. Den ligger i stadsdelen Kungsladugård i Göteborgs kommun.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Kyrkan började uppföras 1959 efter ritningar av arkitekt Anders Berglund och invigdes den 16 december 1960 av biskop Bo Giertz. Den bekostades till stor del av medel som under trettio år insamlats av en syförening och med bidrag från Göteborgs småkyrkostiftelse.

Byggnaden omfattar kyrkorum och församlingslokaler som tillbyggdes under 1970-talet. Den är uppförd i rött odekorerat fasadtegel, som vilar på en betongsockel. Entrén är sidolagd. Altaret är av bordskaraktär och placerat vid fondväggens mitt. Fönsterväggen har tättställda fönster och fasadtegelmurning. Taket är sadelformat med en gles träpanel. Interiörens färgsättning är tegelrött, vitt och blått. Både predikstol och dopfunt är murade med fasadtegel. Hela anläggningen är obetydligt förändrad sedan byggnadstiden.

Klockstapeln i tegel bekostades med medel ur en kommunal fond.

Inventarier
Altare, predikstol och korset med Kristus är utsmyckade i mosaik av konstnären Gun Setterdahl.
Flera inventarier, såsom nattvardssilver, skrudar och antependier är gåvor som församlingen erhållit.

Orgel
Den mekaniska orgeln är tillverkad av A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri AB och installerades 1966. Den har tio stämmor fördelade på två manualer och pedal.

6 Fed.R.Serv.3d 659
Anthony ROMANDETTE, Plaintiff-Appellant,
WEETABIX COMPANY, INC., Defendant-Appellee.
No. 11, Docket 86-2061.
Argued Sept. 19, 1986.
Decided Dec. 15, 1986.
Anthony Romandette, pro se.
Laurel Wedinger, Staten Island, N.Y. (John S. Zachary, P.C., Staten Island, N.Y., of counsel), for defendant-appellee.
Before LUMBARD, OAKES and MINER, Circuit Judges.
MINER, Circuit Judge:
Anthony Romandette appeals pro se from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Brieant, J.) dismissing his diversity action for failure to effect service of the summons and complaint, Fed.R.Civ.P. 4, and for neglect to prosecute, Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). At the time the lawsuit was instituted--December 3, 1984--and throughout most of the litigation, Romandette was incarcerated. Due to his incarceration, he was dependent upon prison library facilities to research his legal claims and, because of his in forma pauperis status, dependent upon United States Marshals to effectuate service of process. Because of the special circumstances constraining Romandette in the prosecution of his suit, we hold that the district court erred in dismissing for failure to effect service and abused its discretion in dismissing for neglect to prosecute. We therefore reverse.
Romandette filed this diversity action on December 3, 1984, asserting products liability claims against Weetabix Company, Inc. ("Weetabix"), a Massachusetts corporation. He sought compensatory and punitive damages for physical injuries, including a broken tooth, and emotional harm allegedly attributable to ingesting a foreign substance while eating Weetabix Cornflakes at the Downstate Correctional Facility. After plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, his pro se summons and complaint was forwarded to the United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York for service.1 On December 31, 1984, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(2)(C)(ii), the Marshal's Service mailed a copy of the summons and complaint by first class mail to Weetabix. On January 7, 1985, Weetabix's vice-president and treasurer signed and returned the acknowledgment form. In its answer, Weetabix asserted Romandette's failure to effect service in accordance with New York law2 as an affirmative defense.
On April 25, 1985, Romandette moved, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(f), to strike Weetabix's affirmative defense, arguing that Weetabix had been served properly on January 7 in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, when the acknowledgment form was signed. Weetabix countered that service had not been effected in accordance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(d)(3), pertaining to service upon a corporate defendant. Between April 25 and July 2, 1985, Romandette and Weetabix actively engaged in discovery and each filed a number of motions. Finally, on July 2, Judge Gagliardi responded to several of these motions. With regard to Weetabix's defense of improper service, the court noted that whether Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(2)(C)(ii) permits service by mail on out-of-state defendants is the subject of disagreement among various district courts. Although courts in the Southern District of New York have held such service invalid, Judge Gagliardi concluded that it would not be in the interests of justice to penalize Romandette for his reliance on the actions of the U.S. Marshal's Service and that Weetabix was not prejudiced since it had formally acknowledged service:
[I]t would not be in the interest of justice and the philosophy of Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 [92 S.Ct. 594, 30 L.Ed.2d 652] (1972) (pro se litigants given the benefit of liberal interpretation of federal rules) to foster continued uncertainty concerning the propriety of service in this case or to penalize plaintiff for his reliance on the actions of the U.S. Marshal's service. There is little risk of prejudice to defendant in this regard, since defendant formally acknowledged the service by mail, and in fact received the summons and complaint in January 1985.
Memorandum Opinion, July 2, 1985. The court noted that the Marshal's Service had indicated that it would personally serve Weetabix.
On July 26, 1985, the case was reassigned to Judge Brieant. Weetabix moved for dismissal on December 10, 1985, on the grounds that personal service had never been effected and that Romandette had failed to prosecute by taking no action since June 1985. Romandette responded that "on information and belief [the service defect] was cured in Judge Gagliardi's order...." Plaintiff's Affidavit, December 23, 1985. Additionally, he explained his six months of inaction in the case as resulting from a reversal of his state conviction and the granting of a new trial, which necessitated his transfer to Albany County Jail on July 3, 1985. That transfer placed him in a facility alleged to be lacking adequate library and legal assistance resources. He explained that he was "unable to determine the exact significance and meaning of FRCP 4 and FRCP 41(b) because said FRCP are not in our law library." Id. Therefore, he requested assignment of counsel, or, alternatively, a "stay in all proceedings" through March 28, 1986.
Judge Brieant determined that, "[h]aving chosen to proceed pro se, this litigant should have complied with Judge Gagliardi's directives," and granted Weetabix's motion to dismiss for failure to effect service and neglect to prosecute on January 21, 1986. Memorandum Opinion, January 21, 1986. Unfortunately for Romandette, although the Marshal's Service had noted a request to serve Weetabix personally on June 13, 1985, personal service was not effected until April 1, 1986, nearly three and a half months after dismissal of his action. Apparently, the delay in service was due to the volume of requests for service received by the Marshal to whom Romandette's complaint was forwarded, and not to any dilatoriness on the part of Romandette.
I. Personal Service
The preliminary issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in dismissing this suit, brought by an incarcerated pro se litigant proceeding in forma pauperis, because the U.S. Marshal had yet to effect personal process through no fault of the litigant. Initially, we note that Judge Gagliardi ruled that "the interests of justice" mandated that Romandette be allowed the chance to serve Weetabix personally through the Marshal's Service. Judge Brieant, however, apparently believing that Romandette had failed to take some action to effect this service, concluded that the "litigant should have complied with Judge Gagliardi's directives." In fact, Romandette had done everything in his power to effect personal service through the Marshal's Service. Because the special circumstances of the litigant's position were before the court, and yet were not considered, we hold that the district court erred in dismissing the case for failure to effect service.
It is apparent that the court was not required to dismiss the action. As we observed in Grammenos v. Lemos, 457 F.2d 1067, 1070 (2d Cir.1972), Rule 4 of the Federal Rules is to be construed liberally "to further the purpose of finding personal jurisdiction in cases in which the party has received actual notice." We further noted that "incomplete or improper service will lead the court to dismiss the action unless it appears that proper service may still be obtained." Id. (emphasis added). In the case before us, Weetabix had actual notice, as evidenced by its return of the acknowledgment form signed by a Weetabix officer, and would not have been prejudiced by allowing the suit to continue. Furthermore, this is, in fact, a case in which proper service could be yet obtained (as it was on April 1, 1986). We therefore believe that dismissal was premature. Our brethren on the Fifth Circuit aptly addressed the point:
There may well come a time in which the Trial Court, in the administration of the affairs of the Court, sees that there is simply no reasonably conceivable means of acquiring jurisdiction over the person of the defendant. When that time comes it may be proper to dismiss the cause. But, on this record, ... the point has not yet been reached.
Stanga v. McCormick Shipping Corp., 268 F.2d 544, 554 (5th Cir.1959).
As Judge Gagliardi found, the provision in Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(j) that service be effected within 120 days after filing the complaint posed no bar to Romandette's action. By the explicit terms of Rule 4(j), the court can disregard a failure to meet the 120-day limit if the plaintiff can show "good cause why such service was not made." See generally Siegel, Practice Commentary on Amendment of Federal Rule 4, 96 F.R.D. 88, 101-02. Romandette plainly exhibited good cause. As an incarcerated pro se litigant proceeding in forma pauperis, he was entitled to rely on service by the U.S. Marshals, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(2)(B)(i). He indicated to the court his reliance on service by the Marshals and he timely requested that the Marshals effect personal service.
In sum, we find that dismissal by the district court was not mandated by the failure to effect service. Moreover, the interests of justice, informed by a liberal interpretation of Rule 4, are best served by allowing this litigant to rely on the personal service, albeit untimely, ultimately effected by the Marshal's Service.II. Failure to Prosecute
Dismissal for failure to prosecute, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b), is a matter committed to the discretion of the district court, Link v. Wabash Railroad Co., 370 U.S. 626, 633, 82 S.Ct. 1386, 1390, 8 L.Ed.2d 734 (1962); Lyell Theatre Corp. v. Loews Corp., 682 F.2d 37, 43 (2d Cir.1982), which we will review on an abuse of discretion standard, see Chira v. Lockheed Aircraft Corp., 634 F.2d 664, 666 (2d Cir.1980). At the outset, however, we note that dismissal is "a harsh remedy to be utilized only in extreme situations." Theilmann v. Rutland Hospital, Inc., 455 F.2d 853, 855 (2d Cir.1972) (per curiam); accord Merker v. Rice, 649 F.2d 171, 173-74 (2d Cir.1981).
In Harding v. Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 707 F.2d 46, 50 (2d Cir.1983), we identified the factors that an appellate court, viewing the record as a whole, need assess in ruling on the district court's dismissal for failure to prosecute. These factors include (1) the duration of plaintiff's failures; (2) whether plaintiff had received notice that further delays would result in dismissal; (3) whether defendant is likely to be prejudiced by further delay; (4) whether the district judge has carefully balanced the need to alleviate court calendar congestion and a party's right to due process; and (5) whether the court has assessed the efficacy of lesser sanctions. Id.
The record indicates that from the inception of this case through Judge Gagliardi's order of July 2, 1985, Romandette actively prosecuted his claim. He diligently pursued discovery and both set forth and responded to a number of motions. During this period, Weetabix itself was responsible for several delays in moving the action forward. However, from July to December, 1985 no action was taken by Romandette. This six-month hiatus was readily explainable by his transfer to a county facility, a facility apparently lacking the library and legal assistance resources that Romandette required to pursue this civil claim, where he awaited the retrial of his criminal case. Indeed, by affidavit filed with the district court on December 23, 1985, Romandette communicated his research difficulties to the court and requested assignment of counsel or, alternatively, a stay of further proceedings. Thus, we find that the period of inaction on Romandette's part was excusable. While our application of the first Harding factor, therefore, is the controlling element here, the remaining factors also favor Romandette. Romandette never was warned that further delay would result in dismissal. Neither do we believe that Weetabix was prejudiced by the delay, there being no indication that evidence is likely to be lost, or that discovery has been made more difficult. See Davis v. Musler, 713 F.2d 907, 916 (2d Cir.1983). Additionally, there is no indication that the district court considered calendar congestion or Romandette's due process rights. Finally, while we do not believe that any sanctions were appropriate, the district court gave no consideration to the "efficacy of lesser sanctions."
We therefore hold that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing for failure to prosecute.
In sum, we hold that Romandette's special circumstances as a pro se litigant, proceeding in forma pauperis while incarcerated, should have been taken into account by the district court. In the interests of justice, the court should have allowed the U.S. Marshals Service to effect personal service, since Romandette had done everything in his power to comply with Rule 4 and the defendant had actual notice of the suit. Furthermore, we hold that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing for failure to prosecute, when the period of inaction was readily explainable by Romandette's transfer to await retrial in a criminal case.
A party allowed to proceed in forma pauperis is entitled to service by the U.S. Marshal. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(c); Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(2)(B)(i)
Rule 4(c)(2)(C)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits service on a corporation "pursuant to the law of the State in which the district court is held...." Weetabix asserted that because New York law does not permit service by mail on an out-of-state defendant, such service was ineffective here


Union County residents packed more than 1,100 shoeboxes last month for Operation Christmas Child, and organizers now have a new way for more people to contribute.
Between Nov. 15 and 22, 1,149 shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies and other items were dropped off at churches and other facilities around Marysville during the national collection week for the fundraiser, according to spokesperson Sarah Perrott.
A project of the international Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child works to provide children in need with something to open on Christmas.
Although the collection of physical shoeboxes has been completed, the charity has launched an online tool, Build a Box, that allows people to assemble a shoebox full of gifts online.
"One more shoebox means one more child, one more life that can have hope and joy this Christmas," said Todd Edwards, Great Lakes regional manager. "The power of a simple shoebox gift is incredible."
Donors use the tool to select a child's age and gender before shopping through an online selection of toys, necessities and school supplies, according to Perrott. The donor can add a personalized note, and then the boxes are assembled by volunteers at Operation Christmas Child's processing center in Charlotte, N.C. Donors can then follow the box's delivery path online.
"This process is unlike anything we've ever done, and it will allow even more children to receive gift-filled shoeboxes," said Jim Harrelson, vice president of Operation Christmas Child. "We want each of these children to know the true meaning of Christmas."
The Build a Box tool can be accessed at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.


In the first of two scheduled congressional hearings with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Sen. Bill Nelson asked the 33-year-old executive why the company didn't notify the estimated 87 million users whose data was improperly used by Cambridge Analytica.
Zuckerberg said Tuesday that Facebook had demanded that Cambridge Analytica delete and stop using any user's personal information after the company learned of the firm's data-mining through a third-party app developer.
"When we heard back from Cambridge Analytica that they had told us they weren't using the data and had deleted [the app], we considered it a closed case," Zuckerberg told the Florida senator. "In retrospect, that was clearly a mistake," he said.
Zuckerberg also said he didn't notify the Federal Trade Commission of the data transgression because the company considered the matter a closed case.

Why the Tech Industry Needs to Deal With Its Ageism Problem
Why the Tech Industry Needs…
The high-tech industry — particularly Silicon Valley — has been getting a bad rap lately for ageism, either for refusing to hire seasoned workers or for laying them off to replace them with people thought to be cheaper, more up to date on technology, or more energetic. But the industry was recently reminded about the expertise and skills its older workers have.
It was ascertained last month that Voyager, a spacecraft sent up in 1977, had become the first man-made object to leave the solar system. Not only were today's leaders of the project aged 52 and 77, but the 52-year-old, Suzanne Dodd, had to coax another 77-year-old engineer, Lawrence Zottarelli, out of retirement to modify the old technology so it could store more data. It seems the young engineers, growing up in an era of unlimited storage, didn't know how to tackle the problem.
Despite this obvious benefit of seasoned workers, the subject of ageism came up again this summer, when a survey of successful technology companies found that they were young — very young. PayScale looked at the median age of 32 technology companies, and found that just six of them had a median age greater than 35 years old, reports the New York Times. "Eight of the companies, the study said, had median employee age of 30 or younger." In comparison, the Times reported, the median age of the American worker was 42.3 years old.
The companies with the oldest workers? Hewlett – Packard (41), I.B.M. Global Services (38), Oracle (38), Nokia(36), Dell (37) and Sony (36). The youngest? Epic Games (26); Facebook (28); Zynga (28); Google (29); and AOL, Blizzard Entertainment, InfoSys, and Monster.com (all 30). Notes the Times, "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only shoe stores and restaurants have workers with a median age less than 30."
No less a professional than Jimmy Wales — who founded Wikipedia at 35, the age at which Silicon Valley professionals are considered to be "over the hill" — has criticized Silicon Valley for its age myopia, saying that successful young entrepreneurs such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg are the exception, not the rule. And statistics back him up, writes ReadWrite, such as:
The average age of a successful entrepreneur in high-growth industries such as computers, health care, and aerospace is 40.
Twice as many successful entrepreneurs are over 50 as under 25.
75% have more than six years of industry experience and 50% have more than 10 years when they create their startup.
The highest rate of entrepreneurship in America has shifted to the 55–64 age group, with people over 55 almost twice as likely to found successful companies than those between 20 and 34 – in fact, the 20-34 age bracket has the lowest rate of entrepreneurial activity.
A Quora question on the subject resulted in a long list of entrepreneurs over 35 — many of whom responded to the question personally. At the same time, reports Reuters, a number of venture capitalists prefer to fund startups only from young people.
Companies and executives have come out and said that they're planning to hire younger workers, writes CIO.com noting that Cisco said it would be hiring 2,000 Millennials, while at the same time laying off 12,000 other, presumably older, mid-tier workers.
Reuters quoted one recruiter who was told that a company was looking to hire someone "around 26." Similarly, Zuckerberg reportedly said, "I want to stress the importance of being young and technical. Young people are just smarter. Why are most chess masters under 30?" (Though, notes the San Francisco Chronicle, this isn't accurate: "Viswanathan Anand, last year's world chess champion, who will be defending his crown in November, is 43 years old.")
Ironically, this is all happening at the same time that some of these companies are lobbying Congress to make it easier to hire workers outside the U.S., saying they're having too much trouble finding employees — and at the same time that the industry is fighting accusations of sexism by saying it's actually a meritocracy.
(It's not just technology. There are also accusations of ageism in accountancy, of all things, with 48% of accountants surveyed believing that it's more difficult to get a job in their field after the age of 40. But technology gets most of the press.)
Avoid ageism. It isn't rocket science. Even when it is.

Funeral ceremonies
Memorial ceremonies
Ceremonies for scattering ashes
Committed to helping the bereaved to create a ceremony which is right for you and the person you have lost.
A professionally trained and qualified celebrant working in Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and further afield when required.
Respecting individual views and beliefs, I will compose and conduct an appropriate and imaginative ceremony, whether a for funeral, memorial ceremony or scattering ashes.
A funeral or memorial ceremony should be as unique as the person it celebrates and is an early part of the grieving process, it is an important moment for those who are left to have an opportunity to celebrate and remember.
While it is always helpful to know what the person would like have wished for their funeral, the entire ceremony doesn't need to be organised a long way ahead. Its always good to leave some space for those who are left to include words and music which help them to remember and to celebrate the life of the person they have lost. After all funerals are about the living too!
Most funeral ceremonies are held in places of worship or in crematoria but they don't have to be. There are no legal restrictions on where a funeral ceremony can be held. You could have the ceremony in a pub, village hall or hotel, at home, in a yurt or in your garden.
If you don't have the ceremony in a place of worship you can still have hymns, prayers or bible readings if you wish.
If you have been bereaved during the period of covid restrictions and would like to hold a memorial ceremony, Anne would be happy to help you create a ceremony
or a short memorial piece to be spoken during a social gathering.
