A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Canadian patients who allegedly received bone and tissue stolen from corpses.
At the core of the $210 million suit is a 68-year-old retiree in Windsor, Ontario. Clarence Renaud has been told by Health Canada and hospital officials that he got illegally harvested bone and tissue as part of a routine back surgery.
Renaud's lawyer (Greg Monforton) says his client is "fearful" about what diseases could have been in the un-screened material.
Illegal Tissue Recipient Files Lawsuit
CNews March 23, 2006
A man who received illegally harvested bone and tissue during a routine back procedure three years ago has launched a class-action lawsuit against a U.S. company accused of stealing and selling body parts for transplants.
Clarence Renaud, 68, lead plaintiff in the $210-million class action, recently learned from Health Canada that he got un-screened material during an operation on his back at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital in Windsor in April 2003.
He fears that the material could be infectious, said Renaud's lawyer, Greg Monforton, who estimates the number of Canadian patients who received illegal tissue during surgical procedures could run into the thousands.

4 Accused of Trafficking in Stolen Body Parts
CNN February 24, 2006
The owner of a biomedical supply house and three others were charged with selling body parts for use in transplants in a scheme a district Lawyer called "something out of a cheap horror movie."
Prosecutors said Thursday the defendants made millions of dollars obtaining bodies from funeral parlors in three states.
They allegedly forged death certificates and organ donor consent forms to make it look as if the bones, skin, tendons, heart valves and other tissue were legally removed.
Mom Frets Over Future
Windsor Star January 27, 2006
A windsor woman has retained legal advice after learning she received possibly contaminated bone fragments during back surgery in late 2004.
Maureen Arsenault, 37, said she wants compensation if she tests positive or any of several life-threatening infections linked to improperly screened bone originating in New Jersey. But she said she also wants to make sure nothing like that happens again.
Windsor lawyer Greg Monforton, representing Arsenault, said his investigation could take months, and the case may end up in U.S. courts. He said potential defendants include Biomedical Tissue Services, Health Canada, supplier firms, medical personnel and cited "possible responsibility on the part of Hotel-Dieu."
Tainted Tissue Scare Hits 125
Health Canada confirmed Thursday that 125 people in the country were exposed to potentially contaminated bone and tissue products from a U.S. supplier, including 21 patients at Windsor's Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital.
Risk of Infection Low in Tissue Transplant Scare, Hospital Says
CBC News January 26, 2006
Former patients of a hospital in Windsor, Ontario, will be tested for HIV and other infectious diseases because tissues they received in surgeries weren't screened properly.
Windsor resident Maureen Arsenault said she was stunned when told she needs to be tested. "You start thinking about the scenarios and what could be, you know, it makes you fearful."
Arsenault's lawyer, Greg Monforton, said they'll decide who to sue and for how much once her tests come back. Monforton said his firm has heard from at least one other patient in the border city.
Tissue Recall in the United States
Health Canada October 26, 2005
Health Canada is advising Canadians of a voluntary recall in the United States of tissue products used in implants and grafts that were imported into Canada. These tissues were recovered by Biomedical Tissue Services Limited in the United States from tissue donors who may not have met Health Canada donor eligibility requirements and who may not have been properly screened for certain infectious diseases. At this time, tissues that have been implicated include processed human bone, skin and tendons. The implicated products represent a small percentage of the tissue supply in Canada.

Ravichandran Ashwin's eight-wicket haul in India's resound victory over South Africa in the first Test at Vizag has propelled the off-spinner back into the top-10 of the ICC rankings for bowlers.
Making only first Test appearance for India in 2019, the 33-year-old was in fine flow in the first innings at Vizag where he picked up seven wickets to set up a 203-run win for the hosts.
Ashwin's exploits saw him equal Sri Lanka legend Muttiah Muralitharan's record of becoming the quickest in history to claim 350 Test dismissals with both the off-spinners attaining the feat in 66 matches apiece.

With his prolific show at Vizag, Ashwin jumped four spots in the ICC Test rankings to claim the 10th position in the table, according to a report by ESPNcricinfo. Meanwhile, Ashwin's India team-mate Rohit Sharma's electric debut in the opening spot saw the right-hander make a leap of 36 spots to rise to a career-best 17th in the batsmen's rankings.
Rohit became the first Indian opener after Sunil Gavaskar to notch up twin tons in the same Test with the 32-year-old scoring 176 and 127 in his two innings at Vizag. Australia's Steve Smith continued to top the batting charts and his lead over Virat Kohli has now stretched to a whopping 38 rating points following the India skipper's failure to score big against South Africa.
There was joy for Ashwin's spin partner Ravindra Jadeja in the latest update as well with the southpaw overtaking Bangladesh star Shakib Al Hasan to the No2 spot in the ICC rankings for Test all-rounders. Ashwin is in fifth place in the same table which is currently led by West Indies skipper Jason Holder.

ECOTREAT approach involves the development of a textile wastewater treatment system characterized by high cleaning performances and lower costs in comparison with the current state of the art. The project has been focused on the investigation of clay minerals for the removal of organic pollutants from aqueous solutions using the liquid-solid adsorption technique. The new system proposed in this project is based on the development of a natural adsorbent material to be used in decontamination process of dyes containing effluents in a textile industrial plant in Turkey.
The innovation of the proposed approach is related to the utilization of a chemical modified sodium bentonite as efficient adsorbent for anionic dyes removal from textile wastewaters. The adsorption unit can be easily integrated in a multistage wastewater treatment plant and applied to a textile treatment line with high quality requirements. The application of a cost effective and efficient adsorption system for textile wastewaters treatment is important for both economical and environmental benefits.
Laboratory adsorption experiments with low cost natural materials showed the Romanian bentonite, a layered type aluminosilicate is a potential adsorbent for the removal of dyes from aqueous solutions. The batch adsorption technique has been experienced and a surface modification method has been investigated to improve the adsorption capacity of sodium bentonite to remove anionic dyes, a representative class of dyes used in textile industrial plants in Turkey. Replacing the exchangeable inorganic cations (Na+) with quaternary ammonium salts such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-CTAB enhanced the adsorption capacity by changing the bentonite surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The modification of the adsorbent by the intercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium cation C16H33 (CH3))3 N+ between silicate layers has been evidenced by XRD, FTIR, TGA and BET techniques.
The adsorption capacity improvement of hybrid organic – inorganic materials such as CTAB – Sodium bentonite for the removal of the following synthetic anionic dyes: Acid Red 1, Remazol Brilliant Blue R, Reactive Yellow 145 and Reactive Black 5, respectively has been proved. The influence of various operating parameters has been investigated and the adsorption efficiency has been found to be dependent on dye solution concentration, pH and contact time, respectively. The adsorption performance onto CTAB – Sodium bentonite was in the range 80 – 97% depending on the dye type in connection with pH and concentration of the initial dye solution. The selected organic modified sodium bentonite has been taken into account to prepare a prototype adsorbent.
Adsorption testing using selected working conditions, namely: pH 10-11, adsorbent/dye solution ratio of 10 g/L and contact time of 120 minutes has been performed in order to check the performance of prototype adsorbent. The maximum adsorption efficiency for reactive dye removal (95-100%) has been achieved for azo dyes (Reactive Yellow 145 and Cibacron Brilliant Red 3B-A) and anthraquinone dye (Remazol Brilliant Blue R), respectively. The variations in adsorption capacity as a function of the initial dye concentration suggested different adsorption mechanisms occurred depending on the adsorbent surface charge in connection with hydrophilic properties of dye molecule.
The adsorption capacity for dyes mixture containing solutions has also been evaluated. The adsorption experiments using binary and ternary dyes mixtures are to be considered of practical importance taking into account the complexity of textile effluents composition associated with the presence of different dyes mixtures.
The proposed adsorption system with organic modified bentonite as adsorbent has been checked using a batch adsorption unit of large capacity (10 L). Adsorption equilibrium experiments using selected working parameters showed that reproducible results in terms of reactive dyes removal efficiency have been obtained as compared to small capacity adsorption batches (25 – 100 mL).
The new adsorption system based experimental results demonstrated the Romanian bentonite is a low cost natural source to obtain efficient adsorbents for textile wastewaters decontamination. The cationic modified sodium bentonite can be an alternative to high cost traditional activated carbon in wastewaters treatment process.

Saki sent me as many recent photos of her family she could find. The main challenge of drawing in this style was trying to capture each individual's look without losing the simple cuteness.
I had fun picking out a Japanese font. I went through a few until I found one that had a chunky, handwritten look that matched the style of the illustration. Obviously, the center of the scroll says "happy new year," and in the lower left the year is written in the Japanese Imperial system, a formal system of dating which has something to do with the year of the emperor's reign.
Saki's family sent me a copy of one of their postcards!
I like how this turned out so much that I'm thinking of doing more work in this style. What do you think?
Happy New Year to you, blog readers! Welcome back after the holidays. I'm hoping to have some exciting stuff for the blog this year, including some interviews and giveaways. Thanks for your comments, tweets and emails. It makes me happy to know that people are reading this thing.

The most prolific breeders in Canadian wildlife
By Sara Laux Published: March 16, 2016 Updated: June 20, 2022
A quick history lesson: the modern holiday of Easter is believed to be rooted in a festival honouring Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring and, ahem, fertility. Bunnies and eggs are leftover symbols of birth and fecundity that have made their way into our modern celebrations. And while we fully acknowledge rabbits' rightful place as a symbol of birth, there are plenty of other animals in Canada that could be contenders, too.
Rabbit: 360 babies over a lifetime
There's a reason the phrase is "breed like rabbits." Rabbit species across the globe are prolific reproducers, with North America's most common rabbit, the Eastern cottontail, producing up to 50 young per breeding season. But while rabbits have many, many young over the course of their lives, they're spared one of the downsides of pregnancy: they are physically unable to vomit. (Not sure what kind of rabbit you're looking at? Check out our handy identification guide.)
Virginia opossum: 108 babies over a lifetime
Once a symbol of the Deep South, opossums have slowly made their way north, becoming common sights in southern Ontario. And they're probably here to stay—a mother opossum can have one to three litters per year, with an average litter of eight or nine joeys. The little opossums live in their mother's pouch for almost three months, then climb on her back to enjoy a free ride for another few months. In fact, a female opossum may have up to 20 or 30 young, but with only 13 teats, many will not survive long after birth.
Lemming: 190 babies over a lifetime
Folklore notwithstanding, lemmings don't actually leap to their deaths in mass numbers. Populations of lemmings experience periodic die-offs as their numbers reach peak densities every three to five years, and groups will migrate in search of food (often drowning along the way). Part of the reason for lemmings' drastic population fluctuations is their incredible fertility: they can get pregnant at two weeks old, and give birth to up to eight babies every five weeks. Just as well—lemmings are a key food source for Arctic predators like fox, snowy owls, and ermine.
Deer mouse: 80 babies over a lifetime
Deer mice can have up to nine young per litter, although three to four is more typical. In captivity, a deer mouse can have up to 14 litters per year—meaning the potential for 126 young per year, or 504 young over the course of a four-year lifetime. That being said, mice in the wild aren't quite so busy, and many live less than a year, so don't expect to be overrun with little squeakers quite yet.
Cabbage aphid: 15 generations produced in one crop season
It's a little unfair to include insects (or fish, or molluscs, for that matter) in our list, since their ability to lay eggs or otherwise reproduce generally tends to number in the millions—but the cabbage aphid is so prolific we had to include it. In temperate climates, females produce both males and females, which breed and produce eggs—up to 15 generations in a single crop season. In ideal conditions, aphids could spawn enough descendents to cover the earth in a 149-km deep layer of bugs. Yuck.
And with that lovely image, happy Easter!

 *   b) BasicMethodConstraints(InvocationConstraints constraints)
 *
 * Actions:
 *   Test checks normal and exceptional variants of the
 *   parameters for BasicMethodConstraints constructor.
 *
 *   Test verifies the following assertions and performs the following steps:
 *     1) Creates an instance with the specified ordered array of descriptors.    *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        valid MethodDesc array as an argument.
 *        Assert that object is constructed and no exception was thrown.
 *     2) The array passed to the constructor is not modified
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        valid MethodDesc array as an argument.
 *        Assert that array passed to the constructor is not modified.
 *     3) The subsequent changes to array passed to the constructor have no
 *        effect on the instance created.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        valid MethodDesc array as an argument.
 *        Construct second BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing
 *        another but with the same content MethodDesc array as an argument.
 *        Change second array. It should remains valid.
 *        Assert that first constructed BasicMethodConstraints object is equal
 *        to second.
 *     4) Throws: NullPointerException - if the argument is null.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing null
 *        as an argument.
 *        Assert that NullPointerException is thrown
 *     5) Throws: NullPointerException - if any element of the argument is null.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing array
 *        with first null element as an argument.
 *        Assert that NullPointerException is thrown
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing array
 *        with first non null element and second null element as an argument.
 *        Assert that NullPointerException is thrown
 *     6) Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if the descriptors array is empty.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing empty
 *        array as an argument.
 *        Assert that IllegalArgumentException is thrown
 *     7) Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if any descriptor is preceded
 *        by another descriptor that matches at least the same methods.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing invalid
 *        array with second descriptor that matches the same methods as first
 *        descriptor as an argument.
 *        Assert that IllegalArgumentException is thrown
 *     8) Creates an instance that maps all methods to the specified
 *        constraints.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        valid non empty InvocationConstraints as an argument.
 *        Assert that object is constructed and no exception was thrown.
 *     9) The constraints can be null, which is treated the same as
 *        an empty instance.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        empty InvocationConstraints as an argument.
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing null
 *        as an argument.
 *        Assert that first constructed object is equal to second one.
 *     10) Calling this constructor is equivalent to constructing an instance
 *        of this class with an array containing a single default descriptor
 *        constructed with the specified constraints.
 *      steps:
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing some
 *        valid non empty InvocationConstraints as an argument.
 *        Construct MethodDesc type object instance passing
 *        the same InvocationConstraints as an argument.
 *        Construct BasicMethodConstraints type object instance passing
 *        array with only constructed MethodDesc object as an argument.
 *        Assert that first constructed BasicMethodConstraints object
 *        is equal to second one.

XPR Is A Scam, Claims Former UFC Fighter, Ben Askren
Former UFC fighter Ben Askren recently tweeted claiming that Ripple's XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency is a scam.

Former UFC fighter Ben Askren recently tweeted claiming that Ripple's XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency is a scam. When it comes to cryptocurrency, Ben knows what he is doing. Litecoin sponsored him for UFC 235.
I think XRP is a scam https://t.co/ye3E53dM3E
— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) January 28, 2020
In 2019, he predicted that Bitcoin would cross the $10000 mark, and it came true. He also tweeted the rates of Bitcoin and Litecoin during the price rallies. Subsequently, he gave the nickname "bitcoin bull." Askren is a massive supporter of Bitcoins and Litecoins. As for the other cryptocurrencies, he kept clear of them.
However, his recent comment on XPR from Ripple broke his silence regarding other cryptocurrencies. One of his followers asked if his silence over XPR means that the cryptocurrency would take some time to rise if it does so. He tweeted that he believes "XPR is a scam."
Recently, Askren isn't the only famous person to criticize XPR. Previously, while talking to BlockTV, Tony Vays said that XPR is only a security for Ripple and has no real place.
Vays also said that even though Ripple claims that XPR is not centralized, a phone call from the White House would be enough to force Ripple to stop XPR usage in countries like North Korea and Iran. Even if Vays and Askren consider XPR to be a rip-off, it is gaining steadily at around 2 percent daily.
However, when compared to Bitcoin's growth, XPR is lagging behind the difference is only increasing. This downwards trend is scaring some of the XPR owners. Recently, an XPR whale nearly drained his account and moved on to other cryptocurrencies. He took out nearly XPR 50 million.
Jacob Canfield tweeted an XPR chart that shows the currency to stuck in a descending triangle. If XPR doesn't improve its situation soon, it might face a sell-off which will further reduce its value and might make it useless.

Prospective U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Suggests Curtailing Crypto Financing Of Terrorism
Cryptocurrency Steve Anderrson - January 20, 2021 8:34 am EST 0


US residential solar installer Vivint Solar has continued its slow-but-steady upward trend, posting strong revenue and beating analyst expectations in the second quarter of 2017.
I have been somewhat obsessively covering Vivint Solar for a year now, ever since the company got mixed up in the eventual-bankruptcy of once-renewable energy megalith, SunEdison — signing, then eventually terminating a merger agreement with the company. Vivint Solar was in dire straits a year ago, but ever since it terminated the merger agreement with SunEdison — a mere month before the latter filed for bankruptcy — it has managed to regain its footing, and have this year begun turning a profit, albeit a slight one.
The company has spent the last year slowly but steadily doing one of two things — signing financing agreements which allow it to go about providing customers with residential solar installations, or expanding its operations into more and more US states. A year ago, the company only operated in 9 states, and that number is now up to 20 states.
Vivint Solar on Tuesday published its second quarter 2017 financial results, and the company reported strong growth again, continuing its upward trend. The company booked a total of 55 MW (megawatt) worth of solar installations during the quarter, and installed approximately 47 MW over 7,108 installations, bringing the company's total cumulative installations up to 774 MW over 113,287 installations. Cost per watt for installations decreased again, down from $2.98 in the first quarter of 2017 and $2.94 a year ago, down to a healthy $2.88.
Financial operations for the quarter were strong as well, with total revenue for the quarter amounting to $73 million — up 109% from the $34.9 million taken in during the second quarter of 2016, and up 37% on the first quarter of 2017. Revenue from operating leases and incentives was $43.4 million, up 45% from $30.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year, and up 42% on the first quarter of this year. Total income was only $5 million, and $0.04 per share, and while these are down on historical figures, investors remained happy with the company's performance.
Looking forward, Vivint Solar expects to see between 46 MW to 52 MW worth of new solar installed during the third quarter, at a cost per watt of between $2.80 and $2.90.
"Let me begin my prepared remarks by saying how pleased I am that the company continues to make strong progress toward the key objectives we've laid out over the last year," said David Bywater, Vivint Solar CEO, in the company's earnings conference call. "We continue to be laser-focused on making Vivint Solar the most sustainable and well-run residential solar company in the market.

Is Tom Daley Gay, Who Is His Husband – Dustin Lance Black?
The journey to fame has no age limit. While some struggle for success at an older age, others have been able to achieve success at a younger age. Tom Daley happens to belong to the class of young talents who had a good start on their journey of success and now enjoy the fame that comes with it.
At just fourteen years of age, Daley was already popular as the youngest British Olympic athlete, having successfully participated in the Beijing Olympics. This meant that his age of success was only one year above that of Alexandre Despatie, the Canadian diver and hero of Tom, who won his first gold medal at the age of thirteen.
At the age of fifteen, Tom Daley was the winner of the FINA World Championship 2009 in the individual competition, and by 2012 he was the bronze medalist at the 2012 Olympic Games. Many others followed him, and now he has joined the list of young celebrities in his field.

Since Daley is a celebrity, his private life is of great interest to his growing fans who want to learn the secrets of his relationships. Let us share with you some facts about the British diver's love life, his sexual orientation, and of course his relationship with Dustin Lance Black.
Brief Biography of Tom Daley
Firstly, his real name is Thomas Robert Daley and secondly, he is a British citizen and his ethnicity is English. Tom was born on 21 May 1994 as the son of Robert and Debbie Daley. He has two younger siblings, William and Ben, who all grew up in the town of Plymouth on the south coast of Devon, England.
Daley attended Eggbuckland Community College. He was supposed to study at the independent school Brighton College on a scholarship, but his father turned it down because the school was far from home. He completed his two-year A-Level studies in 2012 with good grades but refused to continue his International Baccalaureate course because of his preparations for the 2012 Olympics. Prior to that, he was a gold medalist in the 1998 Commonwealth Games, Tom was also a guest starter with the Australian Elite Junior National Teams, where he finished first on the platform and second in the 3m diving boards. However, Daley made his most famous jumps in 2012 when he set an Olympic record as a poster boy and won the bronze medal with 556.95 points. He won a gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and his second Olympic bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Games. Tom Daley's net worth amount to approximately $4 million.
Is Tom Daley Gay?
YES! Daley is gay. He said it himself over a YouTube video in which he said, "I'm a gay man now," officially announcing his sexual orientation, which he believes was one of the most difficult decisions he has ever made. During his announcement, he also revealed that he was dating his long-time friend Dustin Lance.
Daley, however, made a contradictory comment about his orientation when he said in a July 2015 interview with The Guardian that he had admitted his relationship with Lance, but added that he still had feelings for girls.
Who is His Husband – Dustin Lance Black?
Daley announced his engagement to Lance Black on October 1, 2015, and they were married at Bovey Castle in Devon on May 6, 2017.

President Obama says America's borders are more secure, locals say 'it's bull'
President Obama was in Las Vegas Tuesday to push for comprehensive immigration reform. The president said he is encouraged that a bipartisan consensus is taking shape in Congress that would provide a path to citizenship, streamline legal immigration, and crack down on illegal immigrants.
He asserted that America's borders have become more secure during his first term.
"We strengthened security at the borders so that we could finally stem the tide of illegal immigrants." Obama said, "We put more boots on the ground on the southern border than at any time in our history. And today, illegal crossings are down nearly 80% from their peak in 2000."
While the number of illegals apprehended crossing in from Mexico has plunged, many people who live and work along the border say the president's rosy picture just doesn't add up.

The Anderson Farm
August 20, 2012 By Marfy Goodspeed in Amwell Township, Anderson, Delaware Township, Stockton 8 Comments Tags: houses, land titles
In writing about Nathaniel Saxton in my series on Raven Rock, I learned about his investments outside of that village. One of his earliest deeds involved the sale in 1807 of 47.27 acres to Ann Anderson for $422.69.1 This property in today's Stockton village has an interesting story, one which shows how vulnerable 18th and early 19th century people were to the miserable consequences of debt.
Another reason this property is interesting is because of a beautiful survey I found. A few years before this sale, the 47.27 acres was part of a much larger farm. When it was divided in 1801, a survey was made, quite possibly by Nathaniel Saxton himself. Adding to the interest is Egbert T. Bush's article, "The Old Hunt Farm," recently published here. This story really concerns two properties; the first being what E. T. Bush called the Hunt farm in Stockton, and the second being the lot of 47+ acres where widow Ann Anderson lived.
Part of the survey taken of the Anderson tract of 291 acres in 1801.
The small house next to the name J. Armstrong is the early Anderson house located on the hill that Egbert T. Bush wrote about. Also visible is the old barn, which can still be seen right next to the road. This wonderful map also shows the Howell house at Stockton's Ferry Road, and also property of J. Barcroft.
The First Owners
The story begins with John Brearly of Maidenhead, who was one of the first purchasers of land along the Delaware River in this vicinity. He never settled here; the purchases were solely for speculation. Ownership of this land after Brearly died in 1722 is murky. There is a huge gap until 1792, when Charles Jervis of Philadelphia was in possession of a tract of 291 acres, which he sold that year to John Anderson of Hunterdon County and his son Joshua Anderson "the younger."2 The deed explains that the 291 acres had been part of a tract of 350 acres sold by John Emley to David Chambers. But it does not say when this happened, and there are no deeds recorded from David Chambers to Charles Jervis, or from John Brearly to John Emley. It was necessary to refer to Joshua Anderson the younger, because John Anderson's brother was also named Joshua. The multitude of Johns and Joshuas in this family makes research a challenge.
Who Was John Anderson?
We must begin with his father, known as Capt. John Anderson. He had come to Maidenhead from Elizabethtown, NJ about 1697 along with his father Joshua and some of his siblings. He relocated to Hopewell Township where he wrote his will in 1771, leaving property to his three children: 1) Joshua (1721-1810), 2) Rebecca (c.1730-1773), and 3) John (c.1740-1799).
1) Joshua's family is well-documented from the family bible at the Hunterdon County Historical Society. According to Hannah Anderson, he lived in the Trenton area. His wife was Hannah Smith (1736-1790). They had 8 children, two of whom were John (1759-1803) and Joshua (1781-1840). Neither of them was involved in the Brookville area.
2) Rebecca Anderson married Richard Slaught (Slack) c.1760 and had 7 children. For a time Richard Slaught owned land in Maidenhead, and may have run the Hopewell ferry. By the time he wrote his will in 1773, he was living in Kingwood. He referred to his deceased wife Rebecca in the will, and left his estate "in the hands of my executors for the education and bringing up of my children," who must have been minors. The eldest child was named John Anderson Slack. Rebecca was alive in 1771 when her father left her a slave in his will and £50 to allow her husband to purchase a plantation in Maidenhead whereon John Anderson formerly lived.
3) John Anderson Esq., who eventually settled at Stockton, seems to have been the first of the family to move to Amwell Township in Hunterdon County. He was a tavernkeeper in Amwell Village (south of Ringoes) as early as 1760. His father's will of 1771 bequeathed to him 160 acres in Maidenhead bordering Hopewell and Benj. Brearly, the son of John Brearly. Apparently he sold that property and relocated in Amwell.
He married his first wife, name unknown, about 1772, and had children Joshua, John Jr., Nancy and Sarah. That first wife might have been a daughter of John Brearly Jr., who was supposed to have married a "Mr. Anderson," according to Eli Cooley.3
During the Revolution, John Anderson served in the local militia, going out on monthly tours, and participating in the battles of Long Island and White Plains. Like his father, he became known as Capt. John Anderson, but he resigned his commission in 1778. Perhaps that was when his first wife died, leaving him with 4 young children. In 1783 he married Ann Van Kirk, whose parents I have not identified. That was also the year that Anderson was appointed High Sheriff of Hunterdon County. In 1784, acting as sheriff, John Anderson sold property in Tewksbury Township to Samuel Vankirk of Bedminster, a possible relative of his wife.4
Anderson's Troubles
In 1787, Sheriff Anderson was sued by the State of New Jersey for not properly performing his duties as sheriff. This did not pertain to the number of arrests he made, but to the fact that he did not raise all the funds that the Courts required of him. Sheriffs were personally responsible in those days to raise from defendants whatever amounts were levied against them. Because the consequences of failing to do this were so serious, it is surprising that anyone would take the job. Anderson retired temporarily as sheriff, until being reappointed in 1792, for a term of two years.
It was in 1792 that Anderson, together with his now grown son Joshua, purchased the 291-acre farm in Stockton from Charles Jervis. Meanwhile, he had gone into partnership with Joshua Corshon and advertised the sale of general merchandise "of the latest importation and suitable to the season" at their store named "Fair View," which is appropriate for a location on today's Highway 31, on the hill overlooking Ringoes to the north.
Perhaps the storekeeping did not go as well as planned, or there may have been other reasons, but in 1798, John Anderson again found himself in court, this time he was sued for a debt of £110.7.4 by Clayton Newbold and William Coxe. The then Sheriff levied on the goods of John Anderson, including 3 beds and bedding, 6 chairs, 3 tables, 3 horses, 3 cows, and 291 acres in Amwell. On April 1, 1799, Anderson's 291 acres were sold at public auction to make good his debts. His son John Anderson Jr. bought the property for £457.10.5. The fact that the sheriff levied on the farm of 291 acres rather than the store near Ringoes, convinces me that John Anderson was living at the farm. Exactly where I cannot be sure, but probably at the ancient house overlooking Stockton described by Egbert T. Bush as possibly the oldest in the area.
The Farm Changes Hands
This state of affairs must have been traumatic for Anderson. Soon afterwards, on April 28, 1799, he wrote his will, leaving what was left of his property to wife Anne and children Joshua, John, Nancy and Sarah, and naming his sons executors.6 He died the day after signing his will; he was about 60 years old.
There were still claims against Sheriff Anderson that his executors struggled to meet. In 1801, they divided the Stockton farm, creating a lot of 47.27 acres on the northeast end for Anderson's wife Ann; another lot for Anderson's sister's son Richard Slack, and a third small lot of 5.5 acres. The remainder, amounting to 215.74 acres, was sold to James Armstrong, farmer of Haycock, Pennsylvania, on April 19, 1802 for £2042.7
Northern part of the 1801 survey of the Anderson farm
The 47.27 acres is lot No. 2 on this map, marked "Anderson's." Part of this tract runs along today's Route 523 on the left, and Brookville Hollow Road on the right. It would have been helpful to have those roads indicated on the survey; we must do without.
Unfortunately, John Anderson Jr. was not able to satisfy his own creditors, even after sale of the 215 acres. In 1804, he was jailed for debt, and upon release, his goods & chattels, lands & tenements were assigned to James Gregg Esq. of Flemington. Meanwhile, John's brother Joshua was also sued for debt. Under court order, Sheriff Aaron Vansyckle seized his property and offered for sale Joshua's half interest in the 47.27-acre lot where his mother lived. James Gregg purchased Joshua's moiety or half share, and then offered the lot for pubic sale in April 1806. There was no purchaser then, but in May 1807, Nathaniel Saxton bought the lot on "the great road from Flemington to Howell's Ferry" for $212.25.8 As it turns out, this was not entirely a speculative venture for Saxton. Instead, on June 1, 1807, Saxton sold the same lot to Ann Anderson for $422.60.9 True, Saxton made a nice profit in a very short time, but at least the property was restored to John Anderson's widow.
On September 25, 1804, Joshua Anderson sold to mother Ann the lot of 5.5 acres.10 Soon after this he was sued for debt. His wife was Elizabeth Hoppock, daughter of Capt. Cornelius Hoppock and Catherine Corle. In 1813 her father allowed her a share of his estate, as long as it was "without benefit to her husband" Joshua Anderson, whose debts were probably still a problem by then.
On September 9, 1809, Ann Anderson sold the lot of 47.27 acres to her son John for $400.11 On July 26, 1823 Ann Anderson sold the 5.5-acre lot to John Cavanagh.12 She died on November 10, 1825 at the age of 75, after suffering her whole life from asthma.13
James Armstrong did not keep his 215 acres for long. In 1809 he sold the property to William Mitchell of Centre Bridge, PA.14 When Mitchell wrote his will on March 31, 1823, he stipulated that the residue of the plantation bought from James Armstrong should be sold reserving "the fisheries and shore and one rod in width all along the top of the bank and the privilege for a road for pass and repass to the fisheries in fishing time." The farm came into possession of John Cavanagh, who sold it to Thomas P. Holcombe, who sold it to Eden B. Hunt, returning us to Egbert T. Bush's story of The Old Hunt Farm.

I can add a little bit to this. Capt. John Anderson was born in 1697 – apparently the same year he came to Maidenhead – Hunterdon Co. with his parents Justice Joshua Anderson (1667-1730) & Engeltie Opdycke – they were from Newtown, Long Island (originally New Amsterdam) before having gone to Elizabethtown, NJ for a few years before coming to Maidenhead, NJ. Justice Joshua was the brother of my Cornelius Anderson and Engeltie was the sister of Cornelius's wife, also my ancestor, Annetje Opdycke. Joshua and Cornelius were both sons of Joachim Andriessen (1640-1675)and Emmetje Jans of New Amsterdam.
Martha Willoughby
There was a third Anderson couple: Enoch, who was a brother to Joshua and Cornelius, and his wife Catherine Tryntie, who was a sister to the other two wives. The three brothers married the three sisters, and I am a descendant of the Enoch line through Eliakim, George, James, Aaron, and another James. Martha Anderson Willoughby
George W. Arnett III
Is Cyrenas Slack, born 1847, and buried in Holcombe Riverview Cemetery somehow related to Rebecca Anderson and Richard Slack in your article on the Anderson Farm? I am guessing he might be since Rebecca's grandfather was named Kreyn van Mater and Kreyn is apparently the same name as Cyrenas in Dutch. I gather the couple had four sons– John Anderson, Henry, Cyrenius, and Richard–but I can't connect them to the Cyrenas born in 1847. Cyrenas' father might be named Richard (b. 1822). The Richard born in 1822 worked on the canal in Lambertville. Of course, you can't swing a dead cat by the tail and not hit a Slack in these parts, I have discovered. So perhaps you or one of your followers will know the answer to this puzzle. Thank you again for all of this research and history and making it so accessible. It is really quite wonderful.

George, I did not have much information on your Cyrenius, so I checked the census records. The best I could come up with is that Cyrenius was the son of Richard Slack, born c.1821 NJ and Harriet, born c. 1828 in Pennsylvania. He had two younger brothers, Edwin and Russel. The family lived in Lambertville, but I could not find a burial place for father Richard, and he was too old to show up in census records living with his parents. He must have married around 1846, but I did not find it in the Hunterdon papers. However, I haven't examined the Lambertville Beacon–the answer might be there. As for Cyrenius, there were two older men with that name, so no doubt your Cyrenius is part of the family. Here is an item that turned up in the Hunterdon Democrat for Oct. 30, 1888:
"Suicide at Lambertville. About a week or ten days ago, Mr. Edward Smith, of Stamford, Conn., arrived at the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. Syreneus Slack, in Lambertville, on a visit. He retired as usual last Tuesday night, and when called on Wednesday morning got up and dressed himself. Shortly after six o'clock the report of a pistol was heard, and when the family of Mr. Slack entered the room they found that their visitor had shot himself through the temple. He was found on his knees with the pistol in his hand. He lived about twenty minutes, but was unconscious all the while. The deceased was a young man about 28 years old. Being in poor health he came to visit his sister, Mrs. Slack, about a week previous. He left a letter explaining that his failing health was the cause of the act."
Harriet Crooks-1844- ceremony performed by Rev. Studdiford. The suicide article is another reminder of the fragility of all this. Maybe a marriage record will have the parents. Thank you.

I know this is all about 2 years ago, but I am the 3x's great granddaughter of Anderson Slack, he was the original owner of the house I grew up in. My Mother just recently passed and we are selling the house. In cleaning out the attic, I found a certificate of Anderson Slack's for the battle of 1866 and the Marriage certificate of his son William S. Slack to Ida M. Tyson on 1/28/1884. I still have many, many papers and letters to go through, I did notice some of which were addressed to Mrs. Slack. My interest has been renewed in my ancestry and will use a lot of this information to dig deeper!
Kelly Mecifi
Thank you for such useful information. I am descended from Richard Slack [Jr] , who lost both of his parents as a baby in 1773, and Rhoda Moore (my 4th great grandparents). I have not researched yet much past Richard Sr. or Rebecca, so this article helps get me started! I have been researching Cyrenius Slack (b. 1771) trying to fill in gaps, but find nothing on him. Just the mention in his father Richard Sr's will. It sounds like there could be a wealth of county records, worth a trip to Hunterdon County!

Yes, it will be worth a trip, but best to wait til the worst of the virus is over so you can get inside the Historical Society, the County Clerk's Office, and the Surrogate's Court.

Game of Thrones: Season 4, "The Watchers on the Wall"
June 10, 2014 • By Sarah Mesle
"Mammoth Genre," from Sarah Mesle
Previous episode: season 4, episode 8, "The Mountain and the Viper."
Following episode: season 4, episode 10, "The Children."
Mammoth Genre
Dear Television,
"YOU'RE RIGHT, it's a bad plan," Jon Snow says to Sam at the end of this week's Game of Thrones. His bad plan is to go out, alone, to kill Mance Rayder, one man among 100,000 angry and heavily armed wildlings. Everything about this plan is bad — starting with the part where Jon somehow walks in broad daylight across a wide and snow-covered field, while wearing black, without getting picked off by an arrow — but by this point in the episode, bad plans seemed pretty much par for the course. "The Watchers on the Wall" was supposed to be exciting, but let me speak truth to David Benioff: it is hard to care much about a bunch of "yaaar!!"ing greasy haired people (on both sides) whose capability for advance planning is so remedial I wouldn't trust any of them to pack sunscreen for a beach trip. Indiscriminate smash-bangery does not a gripping battle make, Dear Television, even if there are mammoths.
Oh, Dear Television. I respect that you tried really hard. You put all the pieces in place: there was a Really Tall Wall (very Cliffs of Insanity), a fire (Why the fire? Bad plan. Still: pretty!), an invading savage horde stomping through a forest (very Tolkien; very Orc), cannibalistic and disfigured (Reaver like) enemy Thenns. The overhead shots were all rather magnificent. My favorite swashbuckling elements were there, and you made me think of some of my favorite stories. But, sigh, you didn't live up to them. I could never tell who was whacking at whom, or what anyone's endgame was, or why the invaders at the South Gate didn't immediately focus on cutting the elevator's cables — that would have been a good plan! And defending against it would have given the Crows something interesting to do, some measure by which you could tell if they were succeeding. Instead — just whacking. I thought the Crows were losing right until they won. "Both boring and gruesome!," said Sarah W, on Facebook. "The yawniest giants-on-mammoths I have ever seen!" said me. And then Sarah B, presenting a fully united front of anti-this-episode-Sarahs, agreed that the mammoths seemed "like they were just at their day job at the auto repair shop or something." I could never escape into you, Dear Television, not in the way I wanted.
Here's one thing I will say, though, which is that the episode's failure to successfully generate an escapist, immersive, emotional experience was, in this week of criticism, oddly topical. Escapist fiction, if we can call it that, has been much in the twitterverse: an essay in Slate sparked a maelstrom by arguing that adults should feel "shameful" about reading escapist Young Adult fiction rather than challenging themselves with textually complex and morally ambiguous adult literature. Despite the fact that the essay was, itself, something of an attack (at least in its use of the word shame), its tone was itself rather defensive and embattled. I mean, it's gotta be hard, right, to be Slate essayist Ruth Graham, objecting to YA. You're just standing up there, are on this very high wall of LITERATURE, and the YA authors and readers are just invading, I mean they are seriously invading, like a horde of textual wildlings, and they've got impressive giants like John Green to come and break down the barricades of culture. Graham's essay was basically a weird failed attempt to get all of us fiction-lovers to remember our vows. "I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men from sub-par narrative pleasure." Hold the gate!!!
The whole thing was very tiresome; the essay was silly, and the response entirely predictable; no one is at their best when you tell them to be ashamed. The "conversation" the essay sparked, like this episode, was dominated by whackery rather than strategery; although there were any number of rousing speeches on both sides, it was clear that, if the goal was a meaningful conversation about genre and culture (rather than just pageviews) any victory would only be a Pyrrhic one. Slate! Bad plan!
But the conversation did make me wonder: do you think Ruth Graham likes Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones seems to me like an interesting sort of test case of the literary. Or, put differently, I wondered if thinking about why this episode of Game of Thrones failed, and how we might judge it for doing so, we could get to a better way to start a conversation about genre, aesthetics, narrative, and pleasure; maybe we could end up without pouring shame all over other readers (and, let's be clear, by the end of it all there'd been a lot of shaming on both sides) like so much boiling oil.
If it seems strange to think about the emphatically adult-programming TV show Game of Thrones in conjunction with an essay about Young Adult novels, I don't think it should. The question is about genre and sophistication; if we could read very very generously, we might see, in Graham's essay, the claim that our culture requires sophisticated discernment in its adults, discernment these adults will develop by reading complex, morally-ambiguous stories and will not develop by indulging in escapist, simplistic, and predictable genre texts. I'm not swayed by the argument, but staging it this way, we can see how she might have, logically speaking, written about fantasy rather than YA; fantasy, too, is a genre often disparaged as formulaic and immature. And the pleasures of YA are very similar to the pleasures of fantasy. Both offer the thrill of immediacy: stripping away the abstractions of adulthood (in the first case) and modernity (in the second), YA and Fantasy similarly immerse the reader in encounters where the stakes, the body, the emotions, feel real. (For me, obviously, this is a huge advantage; indeed, my favorite genre is of course Young Adult Fantasy, because why do things by halves.)
But Game of Thrones somehow doesn't carry the stigma of "genre fiction" writ large: somehow, the HBO seal of approval moved it into the realm of prestige. I've been interested to watch it encroach, recently, into Mad Men's territory as the most cerebral show going (three years ago, English-professor cocktail party conversation was Don Draper, do or die; these days, you're just as likely to hear about the cultural significance of Danaerys's cleavage). And if the standard of the literary is, indeed, narrative upset and moral ambiguity, Game of Thrones's famous willingness to break all the expectations of genre — to kill its heroes, to leave its viewers unsettled, morally torn — certainly hits the mark.
And even in this lackluster episode, there was abundant evidence of the careful writing that has increasingly impressed me over my years of viewing. For a battle story, this episode was surprisingly talky, and its main conversation topic was the different ways we can move beyond ourselves, as solitary and selfish individuals, into a larger community. Love is one way we do this, Jon tells us in the opening scene; love makes you "more than just a person." For a little while, wrapped up in someone else, "you're not just you." Castle Black's Maester would have us believe that in this, love is the opposite of duty — predictably, as an advocate for a celibate order, Maester Aemon believes that love is a retreat from duty's civil calling. The episode in some ways backs this up: Gilly wants Sam to stay with her in her hiding spot, and Ygritte fantasizes about returning to the cave where she and Jon could love each other without either of their tribal commitments standing in the way. But the episode doesn't let us settle on this interpretation of private vs. public, love vs. duty. Partly this is because duty, in this episode, is just a name for a different kind of love — the bond between brothers, which calls itself duty so that it can dare to speak its name. The episode begins and ends with Jon and Sam, because their intimacy is the one that is actually the most urgent to the way both characters are changing.
Sam was fascinating in this episode. In our house, we used to call Sam the "trembling witness to all things," but he is fully active here. Or rather, his witnessing becomes a kind of action: his attention forced ideas into words, for several characters, and inner experiences into external ones to which television viewers could, themselves, bear witness. I was somewhat irritated by Sam's scenes with Gilly — the way his love for her enabled a very conventional assertion of manhood, and ironically caused him to dismiss her very reasonable request for solidarity — but I was impressed by the transformation of his character overall. Sam has become a protagonist without becoming a Stark, and that is something that this show sorely needs. What's more, it's fascinating to juxtapose Sam in this episode to Oberyn (RIP) in the last. When Oberyn promised survival, it seemed like (and was) a death sentence, but in "The Watchers on the Wall" Sam manages to keep his promise to survive. Plus, the show lets Gilly be smart, persuasive and (meat shank!) resourceful; I liked how the narrative opened up between them, at the end, and am genuinely interested to see what develops.
(About Ygritte: let us not speak further. Her death was ridiculous, very Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: if you're going to let your warrior-princess get all emotionally helpless at the key moment, as if her womanly feelings somehow crosswire her personality, you might as well cast Keven Costner and get Bryan Adams to do a power ballad for the soundtrack. You know nothing, D.B. Weiss.)
In short, "The Watchers on the Wall," Ygitte aside, did have narrative depth and moral complexity. Perhaps Slate would like it. But what does it mean that a bad episode of Game of Thrones would past Slate's test for good literature? Perhaps that it's not a very good test. I did not, at the time, care very much about the narrative depth or moral complexity I was watching, even though I obviously highly value both of those qualities. I did not feel sophisticated, I felt detached and frustrated.
And I think what would have made this episode more riveting was not necessarily more ambiguity. What would have improved it was not a retreat from genre and formula, but rather a more ambitious relationship to those modes. At the beginning of this essay, I listed some of the plot points this episode had borrowed from other stories — walls, raiders, even the mammoths (I don't know why elephants are always the preferred mode of enemy-invasion, but somehow they always are — maybe because of Hannibal?). I did not mean this list as any kind of criticism! I would not condemn a battle scene for evoking the enemy-elephant trope any more than I would condemn a sonnet for using iambic pentameter! Rules and formulas are not the rejection of subtle meaning but rather the condition of their possibility: Shakespeare was a master of the sonnet not because he wrote in perfect meter but rather because he worked in and out of alignment with the form, using its rules to establish expectations so that readers would feel something when those expectations were fulfilled differently, or not at all. Genre norms are not in themselves the opposite of sophisticated meaning; they only lack sophistication when they are deployed in an unsophisticated way. Perhaps Game of Thrones can help us remember that the question is less "is there a formula?" than "what is done with that formula?" It may or may not be the case that some forms (and surely literary fiction is itself a form) make it easier to create sophisticated texts, but my sense in general is that it's just really hard to tell a good story.
And it's also hard to be a good reader of stories. As a sometimes-professor of literature, I can assure you that you can bring a reader to narrative subtlety, but you cannot necessarily convince her that there's a deeper meaning to The Scarlet Letter than "Hester just really needs to be her true self." (Similarly: I happened to hear FOX-Sports Radio discussing Game of Thrones, and let's be clear that their discussion of last week's tremendous episode did not much praise its narrative depth, even though they, like me, were quite taken by the eye-plosion.) The human will to simplify truly boggles the mind.
And that is why, of course, Ruth Graham's essay was ultimately a failure: it argued against simplification and for ambiguity, but itself relied on a too-simple understanding of how books and reading works. What we see in this episode of Game of Thrones is no clear solution to the problem of how to tell stories that will make us better citizens of our world. It's hard, as Jon Snow knows, to have a good plan. What I think ultimately is that, when someone finds one, in whatever genre, it's best to open the gate, and let them go.

The Cambridge children call their great-grandmother the Queen Gan-Gan, and the monarch always leaves a small gift in her great-grandchildren's rooms whenever they come to stay.
When she was introduced to George soon after he was born in 2013, it was the first time in almost 120 years that a reigning monarch had met a future king three generations ahead.


To really appreciate Bratislava, visit the former market square. In its centre is a Renaissance fountain built by King Maximilian II in 1572. The most impressive building remains the former town hall with its large tower. The square is the meeting point for the city's inhabitants, who come here in summer in a bid to cool down. In winter, it hosts the Christmas market, where it is pleasant to stroll and breathe in the aromas of mulled wine and medovník (akin to gingerbread).

How to Heal a Marriage After You've Cheated

Psychological Effects of Cheating
How to Fix a Marriage After Emotional Affair

You are overwhelmed with guilt, shame and fear, and your partner is drowning in pain and anger. Remember, however, that while your marriage feels as if it is tottering on the edge of a cliff, it can be saved. Numerous couples have made their way to stronger and more satisfying relationships even after disclosure of an extramarital affair. There are no guarantees that trust will be regained or that your marriage will survive, but there are steps you can take to increase your chances of success.
Accept Responsibility
There is no point in trying to blame your extramarital affair on your partner, claiming that if he or she had done something different you would not have had to cheat. While there may have been seemingly insurmountable problems in the relationship, you did betray your spouse's trust. The first step toward healing the marriage is admitting to the infidelity and ending the cycle of lies and secrets. Your partner will want to know how long it has been going on, where you would meet, the exact nature of the relationship and more. You need to own up and answer these questions, painful and humiliating as that may be.
Accept Your Partner's Anger
It seems as if your partner will never let go of the pain and anger. You already apologized. You already answered all the questions and are ready to move on. Why are you still being asked to justify your every move and explain where you are going, with whom and for how long? Part of recovery of trust and healing the relationship is allowing your partner to release all the pain and anger and to do that with you. Consider this as the beginning of a new level of intimacy -- you are learning to share difficult emotions. There is no set time that it will take before your partner is ready to move past the anger. It can take months and perhaps even longer than a year.
Relationships in which partners feel happy and satisfied are not relationships without fights and occasional serious conflict. The important thing is that the successful marriage involves open communication and healthy ways of resolving disagreements and conflicts. Unhealthy communication patterns are behind most extramarital affairs. You can try to work through these difficulties on your own. Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., in his book "Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples," recommends learning how to value your partner's needs as highly as you value your own as a way to work toward healing. As the one who cheated, betraying the marital trust, you will be listening at the beginning stages more than you will be listened to. You need to accept this temporary imbalance as one of the costs of having broken the boundaries that protect the couple relationship.
Seek Professional Help
An extramarital affair is a "big deal." It is often too difficult an issue for couples to handle without outside help. In fact, psychologists Elizabeth S. Allen and David C. Atkins reported in 2012, in a study in the "Journal of Family Issues," that more than half of couples in marriages where there was infidelity end up separating or divorcing. Marital therapy may help you avoid that. Even better -- once you get past the hard part, many marriages are stronger and healthier and not only does the marriage survive -- it thrives!

Boxing Day Tsunami: Survivors of 2004 tsunami left horrified after being "ambushed" by trailer for movie on Boxing Day tragedy
Posted byadminlebanon December 26, 2012 December 26, 2012
Survivors of 2004 tsunami left horrified after being 'ambushed' by trailer for movie about Boxing Day tragedyTrailer for The Impossible shown before The HobbitSurvivors' groups call for Odeon to issue warnings
The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami killed 230,000 people including 155 Brits
20:10 GMT, 25 December 2012
Survivors of the 2004 tsunami have been left 'in tears' as cinemas are screening the trailer for a movie about the disaster without warning.
The trailer for the film uses graphic imagery to re-tell the story of one family's fight for survival after the 98-foot-tidal wave hit Thailand on Boxing Day eight years ago.
The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in the Indian Ocean killed 230,000 people, including 155 British citizens.
Traumatic: The trailer for new film The Impossible, starring Ewan McGregor is being shown in cinemas in the days before the eighth anniversary of the tragedy
The promotional video for The Impossible, starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, is being screened without any prior notice
before fantasy fiction movie The Hobbit.
Now a tsunami survivors' group said they are
aware of survivors and grieving relatives who have been 'caught
out' by the trailer.
One incident saw a man who flew to Thailand to identify his sister-in-law following the 2004 tragedy being 'ambushed' by the trailer during a screening of The Hobbit at the Odeon in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
He said: 'On Boxing Day 2004 I got the
worst telephone call of my life from my brother in Thailand telling me
his wife had been killed when they were overwhelmed by the wave.
'I flew out immediately to bring him
home and help trace his wife. Only those who were there can understand
the trauma of it all.
'This time of year is terrible for my
brother, his wife's family and me because it brings back the memories
like it was yesterday.'
Haunting: Tsunami Survivors UK said the graphic imagery of the trailer brings back memories for those who were affected by the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous,
added that his brother had been invited along to watch The Hobbit but
had thankfully declined.
'There were scenes of people drowning and bodies floating about and it brought it all back so hard.
'I could not believe a cinema chain could be so ignorant and crass as to show such a trailer without any prior warning.
TSUNAMI FACTS
The 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami was a result of an underwater earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Over 230,000 people died when the massive waves hit the coasts of the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean.
The worst hit countries were Indonesia, India, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
The tsunami hit many tourist resorts killing thousands of foreign nationals.
The highest death tolls for foreign nationalities were Sweden, 543 and Germany, 539.
'This was nothing more than an ambush in surround sound and 3D on a giant screen in front of me.
'I was furious and close to tears. It could not have been any more distressing.'
Tsunami survivor Steve Gill has not
personally been caught out by the trailer but said he knows of others in
his situation who has.
The 59-year-old who now works for Tsunami Support UK, was carried away by the wave while his teaching assistant wife Heather, 42, was killed during their holiday in Thailand.
He said: 'When you go to the cinema to watch a fantasy fiction film such The Hobbit, you do not expect to be dragged back to the worst day of your life.
'For survivors of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, The Impossible trailer and film is the antithesis of entertainment.
'You can't stop people making films about the disaster and people have a choice whether they go to see it.
'But cinemas should issue a warning prior to the trailer so people who are there for a form of escapism are not ambushed.'
Distress: Survivors and their relatives urge cinema's to issue a warning prior to the trailer so they are not 'ambushed'
Steve, from Portsmouth, Hampshire
added: 'The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami is the biggest natural disaster any
of us can remember and it directly affected 10,000 British people.
'Around 9,000 people returned to the
UK from affected areas having been there when the tsunami hit and 1,000
were injured or hospitalised.
'That is a large number of people who
would be very traumatised by what is a faithful rendition of the wave
hitting, especially so close to the anniversary.'
'One of our members went to a private screening of the film and was in floods of tears.
'He is very level-headed and not an emotional man but he could not control himself.'
Reality: The aftermath on one of the Phi Phi islands, Thailand, two days after the 2004 tsunami
The man forced to identify his sister-in-law after the disaster added that there ought to be a warning before the tsunami trailer.
'It was less than eight years ago and is almost on the anniversary. It is too raw a subject to ambush on anybody.
'Can you imagine what would have happened if my brother was sat next to me when that came on screen
'I genuinely fear that relatives and close friends of victims will find themselves in that position over Christmas and the New Year.'
He said his family has contacted the manager of the Maidenhead branch who said that Odeon had not realised the potential impact.
An Odeon spokesman said: 'All trailers are classified by the British Board of Film Classification before being shown on screen.
'Film fans expect a wide choice when they visit their local Odeon and we do our best to meet those expectations.
'In doing so, this may include films and trailers that unfortunately are not to everyone's personal taste as we consider the enjoyment of films to be subjective.
'We can only apologise for any offence caused on this occasion.'
