Element Six first started its chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthetic diamond program in 1988. Thirty years on, this talk will review notable high and low points, flagging some lessons learned.
Volume synthesis of diamond by CVD (figure 1) has not only contributed to reducing the cost of the material but also enabled the superlative properties of diamond to be more fully utilized. It has long been recognized that, aside from its extreme hardness, diamond is a remarkable material with many properties—optical, thermal, electrochemical, chemical, and electronic—that outclass competing materials. When combined, these properties offer the designer an engineering material with tremendous potential to create solutions that can shift performance to new levels or enable completely new approaches to challenging problems.
Components routinely fabricated using CVD synthetic diamond now span tweeters for loudspeakers, radiation detectors and sensors, optical components for lasers, windows for radio frequency and microwave transmission, blades and cutting tools, and electrodes for electrochemical sensing, ozone generation, and direct oxidation of organic matter.
Lightbox, a new De Beers company, has recently announced jewelry using white, blue, and pink lab-grown CVD diamonds. As crystal growers and materials scientists know, intrinsic undoped diamond is colorless in the visible range, but its absorption properties can be modified by defects, often referred to as "color centers," formed either during the CVD growth process or through post-growth treatments such as irradiation and annealing. This presentation briefly summarizes some of the tools used to engineer CVD diamond. For example, controlling the nitrogen level (yellow CVD) to obtain particular thermal and optical properties, doping with boron (blue) to make electrically conducting diamond used to produce ozone for sanitization and for thermal management in telecommunications, and growing in nitrogen-vacancy centers (pink) to make magnetic sensors.
The diverse applications of diamond that harness its exceptional properties and the impact of color centers touch our lives in unexpected ways: Diamond is used to create the high-quality mirror finish on your smartphone and to produce the 170 miles of copper wiring in the aircraft that takes you on vacation, and it is also enables new higher-power lasers used in welding our cars together. It is even used in the quality control of food and in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
In summary, there has been considerable progress in the fabrication and commercialization of CVD-grown diamond over the last 10 years by a number of producers. This progress, coupled with the broad range of applications, shows that perhaps a new age of industrial diamond has truly begun—the age of CVD synthetic diamond.
Many gemologists know that there are important technological applications for laboratory-grown diamonds; however, it is less understood how broad the nongemological uses really are or why diamond is the ideal material for each use. This presentation will review modern industrial applications of laboratory-grown diamonds, including surgical tools, tumor detection, orthopedic implants, water purification, industrial tooling, compound refractive energy focusing, Fresnel lenses, high-pressure anvils (figure 1), sound reproduction, deep space communication, high-power electronics, quantum computing, long-term data storage, AC/DC conversion, and electrical vehicle efficiency.

These applications are rooted in the less frequently discussed gemological properties of diamonds that make it a "supermaterial." The biological, thermal, mechanical, optical, acoustic, and electrochemical properties of diamond will be introduced. Specific properties discussed will include thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, breakdown field, band gap, and saturated electron drift velocity. Furthermore, the utility of diamond defects such as nitrogen vacancies and boron will be explored.
In addition to discussions about functional monocrystal diamonds, two unnatural forms of functional diamond will be discussed: polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and diamond-like carbon (DLC). Many of the functional diamonds discussed, including PCD and DLC, will be available for hands-on examination as part of the presentation.
Big-data analytics is the process of collecting, organizing, and analyzing large volumes of data to reveal hidden patterns and unfamiliar correlations, identify market trends, and extract other useful information that might otherwise be invisible—even for the data manager.
Big-data analytics is seldom used within the gem and jewelry trade. The gem and jewelry sector is kept with general fixed inquiries that block the category from characterizing its inventory and users, and by that, identifying new opportunities.
Another challenge is that in most online marketplaces, the "What You See Is What You Get" experience is hindered by two main factors: improper disclosure and misrepresentation of images (e.g., digitally enhanced photos).
The research and development team of Gemewizard has devised and digitized a fully automatic big-data analysis system for large-scale gem and jewelry marketplaces, based on color and contextual search engine and image analysis (figure 1). This system generates unique market analytics and a fraud detection and prevention service.
Figure 1. The system algorithm crawls the HTML pages of gem websites for big data. For each gem, it condenses the item page to its attribute components and records useful data. The collected data is then compared against the entire database to identify insights and peculiarities.
Since 2016, the Gemewizard team has had the opportunity to examine the validity of the system using vast amounts of data from a world-leading online retail marketplace. The information gathered from this survey, together with additional volumes of information collected from the Internet, provided some important insights regarding the online gem and jewelry trade. Some of these insights, which we consider fruitful and eye-opening for any marketplace or e-tailer, will be revealed.
Gem type: Mineralogical, gemological, and trade names, as well as misnomers. Analysis includes accepted word combinations (e.g., "ruby" and "zoisite") versus problematic ones (e.g., "diamond" and "moissanite").
The trade-related information provides powerful forecasting tools for the marketplace administrator. These include sales and trends history, defined by attributes such as type, color, geography, seasonality, and price, and the ability to identify tendencies (e.g., "Prices of untreated ruby gems between 2 and 3 carats are on the rise in Europe…") and pricing opportunities (e.g., "Currently, there is a high demand for pale-colored Paraíba tourmaline gems in Far East markets").
People are impressed with the uniqueness of diamond, which incorporates factors such as brilliance and fire. When the trade commoditized the category through the Four Cs, it was partly due to the technical inability to promote diamond's impressive optical effects, including optical illusions. This common trade practice inhibited diamond's competitiveness against other goods in the luxury sector. But from now on, emerging technology will allow demonstration of diamond's magic on a large scale with fine details.
Modern algorithmic craftsmanship creates the category of high-vibrancy diamonds, referred to here as Hi-Vi: exceptional diamonds with superior consumer benefits such as brilliance, fire, table color, symmetry, and spread, compared to others of the same shape, size, and pavilion color. The triple excellent round, which took centuries for the industry to craft, was the first Hi-Vi diamond.
Diamond vibrancy is a combination of optical effects and illusions. For example, brilliance, fire, scintillation, and spread depend on both objective parameters such as cut design and stone size, as well as subjective aspects of human vision, such as space-temporal sensitivity and stereo perception. Figure 1A demonstrates the scintillating grid illusion: The intersections seem to flicker white and black, generating additional brightness and contrast when the observer's glance wanders. Distortion of pattern ruins this effect (figure 1B). Certain patterns produce higher perceived brightness. This example is a 2D effect; more astonishing optical illusions result from human stereo vision.
Figure 1. A scintillation grid (A), a scintillation grid with a wavy pattern (B), and squares covered by round brilliant-cut diamonds in different sizes (C).
The phenomenon of diamond brilliance has a similar origin—human vision peculiarity—as the scintillating grid illusion described above. The impact of optical illusions on both Hi-Vi diamond patterns and jewelry designs (e.g., melee) are to be considered, so Hi-Vi optimization is made for not just single diamond cuts, but also for each diamond jewelry piece as a whole.
Figure 1C shows squares with round brilliant-cut (RBC) patterns that differ only in size. The integral colored and colorless areas are exactly the same, while the perceptions of fire and brilliance in each image are quite different. It is impossible to maximize two performance parameters (both fire and brilliance, for example) simultaneously. The consumer's final choice should be based on subjective preferences and rely on performance benchmarks.
Hi-Vi diamonds should be demonstrated with an optical performance digital "loupe," which allows even inexperienced buyers to easily appreciate the performance difference at the highest levels of brilliance, fire, and scintillation. The "loupe" is critically important for mass marketing of relatively small diamonds. For sustainable market development, diamond impressiveness and vibrancy born of masterly designed optical illusions and visual effects is the selling proposition to craft, demonstrate, and explain.

1959 to 1982: Beginning[edit]
On 15 September 1959, at the studio of All India Radio, Delhi, the first TV channel in India started an experimental telecast with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio. Until 1965, all the regular daily transmissions were operated by the All India Radio. Krishi Darshan, Chaupaal, Doordarshan Samachar, and Kalyani were the first programs on the channel.
1982 to 1992: Golden Years[edit]
On 15 August 1982, Doordarshan introduced a national telecast service from its own TV studio in Mandi House, New Delhi. On 9 August 1984, Doordarshan launched its second channel for the metro/urban audience, 'DD2', the existing first channel was renamed 'DD1' and started regular transmission. In the same year, DD1 started telecast of sponsored TV serials, which were produced by veteran filmmakers. Hum Log was the first sponsored TV serial of Indian television and started airing on 7 July 1984.
After the success of Hum Log, many other TV producers and filmmakers created many popular shows. Some of them were Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, Buniyaad, Malgudi Days, Shrikant, Ramayan, Bharat Ek Khoj, Mahabharat, Mirza Ghalib, The Sword of Tipu Sultan, Chanakya, The Great Maratha, Vishwamitra, Luv Kush Uttar Ramayan, Buddha, Surabhi, Tiltliyan, Taaraa, Star Trek, Khaandaan, 13 Panne, Air Hostess, Waah Janaab, Tamas, Vikram Aur Betal, Tenali Rama, Kirdaar, Singhasan Battisi, Guldasta, Mrignayani, Shrikant, Sadgati, Nukkad, Lot Pot, Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne, Bhim Bhawani, Kakkaji Kahin, Paying Guest, Ados Pados, Upannyas, Fauji, Karamchand, Vyomkesh Bakshi, Samandar, Param Veer Chakra, Wagle Ki Duniya, Buniyaad, Kachchi Dhoop, Chunauti, Mahanagar, Talash, Umeed, Subah, Mr. Yogi, Circus, Ek Bhool, Chote Babu, Yugantar, Kehkashan, Yatra, Rajni, Street Hawk, Udaan, Gaata Jaaye Banjara, Phool Khile Hain Gulsan Gulsan, Pingu, Circus, Taaj Mahel, Khubsuraat, and Dada Dadi Ki Kahaniya were the most popular serials of those days.
1992 to 2010: Competition[edit]
After the entry of private channels in India, Doordarshan started facing strong competition from Zee TV in 1992. Even though in those days, cable and satellite channels were not easily available, DD1 was still ruling the chart, as it was the only channel available terrestrially. In 1993, Doordarshan revamped both channels for a stronger competition, as DD National and DD Metro.
With the telecast of popular TV shows like Chandrakanta, Alif Laila, Tehkikaat, Chitrahaar, Udaan, Byomkesh Bakshi, Farmaan, Katha Sagar, Neem Ka Ped and Chanakya, DD National retained viewers, but Doordarshan Board focused more on its DD Metro Channel, which was aimed to compete with Zee TV. In the meantime, DD Metro became one of the popular destinations of TV viewers with its shows like Junoon, Superhit Muquabala, and Azanabi. Some of the popular shows were also aired on DD National.
In 1995, when most of the channels like DD Metro, Zee TV, Home TV, STAR Plus and Sony TV started focusing on their prime time slots, DD National was still stacked with its role and responsibilities, as at the time it was the only source of news on TV. To provide more entertainment, DD National opened an afternoon slot for housewives, with the telecast of Shanti. To support the success of Shanti, many other shows like Swabhimaan, Farz, and Yug were introduced and all of them were praised.
In 1997, Prasar Bharati, the parent body of Doordarshan, was formed. While private channels like Zee TV, STAR Plus and Sony TV started airing high budget TV serials from top production houses, DD National was still doing the best in afternoon slots with Kasam, Itihaas, Agni, Aprajita, Aurat, Ardhangini, Sanjog, Deewar, Aane Wala Pal, Waqt Ki Raftaar and other programs. There were a few notable programs like India's Most Wanted, Gul Sanobar, Surabhi, Noorjahan, Om namah Shivay, Jai Ganga Maiya, and Suraag in prime time, but those were not enough to give competition to private channels.
In the late 1997, DD National started airing Mukesh Khanna's Shaktimaan, which was the blockbuster TV serial in Indian history. In 2000, after tasting success with India's Most Wanted, Jasoos Vijay and Suraag in prime time, Prasar Bharati decided to revamp both channels, and many new serials were introduced on DD National, but very few of them were successful because of a limited prime time slots of 9 to 10:30, compared to 8 to 11 for other channels. New channels like Sahara TV and SAB TV were also performing better than DD channels in prime time.
In 2002, DD offered its time slots to popular filmmakers and got some popular shows of the time. Ramanand Sagar's Aankhen, BR Chopra's Aap Beeti, Adhikaari Brothers CID Officer, Kiran Bedi's Galti Kiski, and Time's Dishayen were telecast on the channels and prized by viewers. In 2003, when DD Metro Channel was converted into DD News, Prasar Bharati focused on its DD national channels, and shows like Meher, Miss India, Shikwah, Kayamat, Kaanch, and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani were introduced. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani achieved unprecedented ratings and became DD National's biggest blockbuster during this period. In 2005, Hawayein starring Ravi Kishan and Malini Kapoor became one of the most popular shows and also won a title of Best TV Serial of the Year at the ITA Awards.
In this period, DD introduced many popular serials like Air Hostess, Wo Huye Na hamare, Kyunki Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, Tum Dena Sath Mera, Hari Mirchi lal Mirchi, Soni Mahiwaal, Wheel Smart Shrimati, Krazzy Kiya Re, Chandramukhi, Jo Kahunga Sach Kahunga, Tahreer Munshi Premchand Ki, and Kashmkash Zindagi Ki.
2010 to 2020[edit]
At prime time, DD was still not able to compete with private channels, and it also started losing its peak position in afternoon slots to re-runs on other channels. In 2012, DD started airing Ekta Kapoor's Pavitra Bandhan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saraswatichandra and a few other serials. In 2013, it reduced its window for regional telecasts to 4 PM-7 PM, and stopped airing news at night, which added one and a half hour to its prime time. To enrich the new four-hour long prime time, DD brought TV serials like Gora, Bharat Ki Shaan, Baba Aazmi's Yeh Kaha Aa Gaye Hum, Dil Jo Kah Na Saka, and Sanjeev Kapoor's Chef Ki Rasoi. It also launched a campaign for its afternoon slots, DD Dophar Aapke Ghar, by airing serials like Amrita, Anudamini, Aisa Prem Kahan, and Chupau Kaise Laaga Chunari Me Daag.
In November 2014, Prasar Bharati relaunched DD National as 'Desh Ka Apna Channel' with a new theme and serials like Happy Homes, Khwabon Ke Darmiyaan, Khamosh Sa Afsaana, Dard Ka Rishta, Paltan, Stree Shakti, Zindagi Ek Bhanwar, and Janmon Ka Bandhan. Initially, these shows did better, but later, as TRP fell in 2016, Prasar Bharati decided to go for a slot sale policy and invited bids from makers for its 7 PM to 11 PM slot. Afternoon slots in 2016 aired serials like Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule, U-turn, and Munidhar. However, the strategy was not enough for its revival.
In late 2016, the slot sale policy of DD was put on hold by the government. Although many production houses like Balaji Telefilms and SaaiBaba Telefilms had won slots for airing their programs, it could not be commenced as the policy was reported for review. From 2017, Doordarshan has been repeating programs from its library and does not telecast any new serial.
2020 to present[edit]
Due to COVID-19, when all other TV Channels were stopped shooting for fresh episodes of their serials, Doordarshan decided to re-telecast its blockbuster shows from 1980s and 1990s. DD National telecasted Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana, Uttar Ramayana, Shri Krishna, Mukesh Khanna's Shaktimaan, Shrimaan Shrimati, Shahrukh Khan's Circus, Byomkesh Bakshi, Chanakya, Dekh Bhai Dekh, The Jungle Book and many more. Whereas its Sister Channel DD Bharati telecasted BR Chopra's Mahabharata, Sai Baba, Alif Laila, BR Chopra's Vishnu Puran and many more hit series.
This move turned out to be a Magic Lamp for Doordarshan, as retelecast for these serials broke all TRP records. First episode of Ramayana gained highest TRP since 2015 for all Hindi TV Channels of All categories. DD National instantly became #1st in TRP chart and with its shows Ramayana and Shaktimaan were on #1st and #5th in Ratings. Note that, since 2010's DD National was out of top 10 in Hindi GEC Ratings.
After Ramayana, Uttar Ramayan and Shri Krishna too enjoyed #1 Rank in BARC TRP Charts.
Its sister channel DD Bharati, which was even not in notice since its inception in 2000, became 5th most-watched TV Channel in TRP Charts, with Mahabharata became #2 on TRP Charts.
Following success of rerun shows, Doordarshan launched a new channel DD Retro on 13 April 2020 for all old classic serials of Doordarshan

Sports broadcasting[edit]
Usually, all One Day and Twenty20 international cricket matches involving or hosted by India are shown live on DD National. It also broadcast the 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup matches involving India, and also the semi-final and final matches. The ICC Champions Trophy was also broadcast by DD National.
These matches are broadcast under compulsory simulcasts from pay television rightsholders such as Star Sports, under laws requiring sporting events of national importance to be simulcast by DD National. In 2017, in response to complaints by Tata Sky, the Supreme Court of India ruled that these simulcasts are only allowed to be carried by on the free-to-air terrestrial and DD Free Dish, and that DD National must be blacked out on pay television providers in defense of the pay-television rightsholder when such events are broadcast.
Since then, Prasar Bharati decided to telecast Cricket Matches only on DD Sports Channel, and since then all matches were telecasted on DD Sports channel, but only on DD Freedish, DTT mode with different feed named DD Sports 2.0.[2][3]
Editorial independence[edit]
The idea of autonomy for the government-controlled Doordarshan was first mooted when the Janata Party came to power in 1977, in the aftermath of Emergency when the Doordarshan ended up as the government's mouthpiece. The idea was revived when the Janata Dal took office in 1989. The following governments showed no interest in autonomy despite making politically correct noises about autonomy.[4]

The original proprietary tracts in Hunterdon County are a good way to study the early development of land ownership here. So, let's begin with a short history of the Dimsdale Tract. Like the two Lambert farms, there were two Dimsdale tracts, a short distance apart. The one I am concerned with is the more northerly one of 833 acres.
Robert Dimsdale was a physician ("chyrurgeon") who came to West New Jersey in 1681 and settled in Burlington County. He was a member of the West New Jersey Assembly in the years 1684-1686, but returned to England in 1688 where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1713, he married his second wife, Sarah Collins, daughter of Francis Collins and Mary Budd, also of Burlington County. I have not found an explanation for why Sarah Collins was living in Cambridgeshire, England when she married Robert Dimsdale, but Dimsdale after died in 1718, she returned to Burlington County where her husband's estate still held large properties.
On July 27, 1750, about six weeks after purchasing the Dimsdale tract, John Lambert, yeoman of Kingwood, shrewdly sold the northern half of the property to Valentine Ent, yeoman of Amwell, for the same amount that he used to purchase the whole tract, £750.9 At the time of the sale, based on the metes & bounds given in the deed, his son Gershom was in possession of acreage just to the south of the 410 acres sold to Ent. But Gershom Lambert did not get the whole of the remaining tract; he shared it with his older brother John. I cannot document this fact because there was no deed of conveyance from John Lambert, Sr. to either son John or son Gershom. However, Snell wrote that John and Gershom "settled about two miles north of Coryell's Ferry. They bought adjoining tracts of land."10 Snell is obviously mistaken; the Lambert sons did not buy the property, they got the land from their father.
The map above is an approximation of the Dimsdale tract overlaid on an old road map of Delaware Township. Also designated is the northern section conveyed to Valentine Ent. It appears from this that Ent got less than half of the tract, which makes me wonder about Hammond's version. It should have been only twice as large as the Ent tract, not three times as large. As a reminder, the road running through Dilts Corner is the Lambertville-Headquarters Road, and the road along the western boundary of the tract is Seabrook Road.
John and Gershom Lambert both started their families during the years 1735-45, which means they were already married when they came to Hunterdon County with their parents.11 Because John Lambert Sr. continued to live in Kingwood, it seems likely that he purchased the Dimsdale tract for the benefit of his two elder sons. Their two farms are adjacent but located on different roads, in different tax blocks. One of them came to be owned by Sen. John Lambert (son of Gershom), while the other one belonged to his cousin Gershom Lambert (son of John). But which was which?
Like many early families, the Lamberts liked to reuse given names. The two names used most often by the Lamberts were John and Gershom. The father of that first John Lambert, who moved to Hunterdon County from Connecticut, was named Gershom, and his grandfather, the original immigrant to New England from Derbyshire, England, was named John.12 The brothers John and Gershom of Amwell Township carried on the tradition. John Lambert (1714-1763) and wife Mary Carr had three sons: John, Gershom and Jeremiah. Gershom Lambert (1716-1763) and wife Sarah Merriam had three sons: John, Joseph and Gershom.
Of course, it doesn't help that these John's and Gershom's were very negligent about recording their deeds. In fact, John and Gershom's brother Joseph was given a 200-acre farm that ran along the east side of Seabrook Road almost bordering the Alexauken Creek on the south. We only know this because Joseph Lambert and wife Mary sold the 200+ acres to their son John Lambert on May 20, 1800, and on Nov. 24, 1806, Sen. John Lambert and wife Hannah quit claimed their rights in the property to John Lambert, Jr., son of Joseph Lambert.[#. H. C. Deeds Book 14, pp. 210, 211].
Gershom Lambert (1716-1763), son of John and Abigail Lambert, died at the young age of 47, possibly of smallpox. Fortunately he had just enough time to write a will (he died the next day). Even though he was "of Amwell" when he wrote his will, he left the privilege of his house in Kingwood to his wife Sarah, who was to continue living with his father, John. He ordered his Amwell farm to be sold, and left the remainder of his property to his sons John and Joseph. After his named executors declined to act, administration was granted to the widow Sarah and to Jeremiah Lambert, who was probably Gershom Lambert's brother.
Curiously, Gershom's older brother John had written his will a month earlier, on February 14, 1763, naming brothers Gershom and Jeremiah his executors. He left his plantation in Amwell to his sons John, Gershom and Jeremiah, and died on March 29th, nine days after the death of brother Gershom. He was only 49; most likely he too died of smallpox.
It is my contention that the two brothers owned the adjacent farms in Amwell, with the result that the farm of John Lambert on Lambertville-Headquarters Road went to his sons John, Gershom and Jeremiah, while the Seabrook Road farm of Gershom Lambert, John's brother (you see my problem?), went to his sons John and Joseph.
Exactly how the Seabrook Road farm came to be owned by Sen. John Lambert cannot be documented, at least for now. There must have been more land that went to the Senator's brother Joseph. It appears that either Sen. Lambert or his father Gershom acquired additional acreage beyond the limits of the Dimsdale tract. In 1780, John Lambert was taxed on 300 acres and his brother Joseph Lambert was taxed on 200 acres. (Their cousin Gershom was also taxed on 200 acres.) Joseph's land was closer to Coryell's Ferry. Since the total of 500 acres comes to more than the acreage originally acquired by their father out of the Dimsdale tract, one must conclude that either the father or the sons purchased additional acreage, and never bothered to record their deeds.
In 1765, two years after the death of his father, John Lambert started a family. He was only 19 years old when he married a neighbor, Susannah Barber (1744-1779), daughter of John and Magdalen Barber.15 Although their first child, born in 1766, died an infant, they had seven children altogether. It is likely that in 1779 a serious illness struck the household, for on July 12th, his six-year-old son Gershom died, and a week later, on July 18th, so did his wife Susannah, age 35.
John Lambert did not serve in the military during the Revolution. In 1780, he was serving both as Amwell township assessor and as a member of the General Assembly, which may have been sufficient to absolve him of military duties. On October 6, 1781, Lambert married his second wife, Hannah Little, the widow of war hero Maj. Benjamin Dennis, who was killed in August 1779. John Lambert brought four children to the new family, and Hannah Dennis brought five. They added three more of their own to make a total of twelve children. This would seem to require a rather large house, but it does not appear that he made an addition to the house his father built.
That the old noted ferry, known by the name of Coryell's ferry, which has for some time past been badly tended for want of boats, &c. the persons that lived at said ferry being removed, and the subscribers come to it, hath got the boats in the best order, which are so on both sides, and are able to ferry over with convenience at one trip four four-horse teams ; and the roads from Philadelphia to the North-River [Hudson River], Morristown, &c. are as near or nearer by this ferry, and much better.
We being determined to give the best attendance both early and late, hope the publick will please to favour us with their custom, where they may depend upon meeting with good entertainment, and the best usage, by the publick's humble servants.
Sen. Lambert owned one of the two farms belonging to the sons of John Lambert, Sr. But which one? There has been some confusion over that question, probably because both farms were owned at one time by a man named Gershom Lambert. The Seabrook Road farm (Block 60 lot 12) was owned by Sen. John Lambert's father Gershom, while the Lambertville-Headquarters Rd. farm (Block 62 lot 12) was owned by Sen. John's cousin Gershom, son of the Senator's uncle John Lambert. You can see how references to the farm of Gershom Lambert can be so misleading.
The different claims about who owned the house on Seabrook Road got me wondering, especially when Fred Sisser sent me another clue. It was a copy of an advertisement for the sale of the farm on Seabrook Road, with a picture of the house that matches the photo in the HCHS newsletter and the Anderson file. The person offering the farm for sale was Wm. D. Seabrook—and that is significant, as I will relate later.
Another item in the stack of evidence is an article about Sen. Lambert by Jonathan M. Hoppock that I found in the Lambert file at the HCHS. (Unfortunately, the copy of the clipping was not dated.) Hoppock wrote that John Lambert was born "on what is known as 'Seabrook's Farm,' in Delaware Township, about two and one-half miles northwest of the city of Lambertville, on the road leading to the Sandy Ridge Church." [I think he must have meant northeast.] "The correctness of this statement is vouched for by John M. Wilson, and other life-long citizens of that locality." Wilson was the son of Sen. William Wilson, who served in the NJ State Senate from 1835 to 1842, and whose own farm bordered Lambert's, across from Seabrook Road.
Sen. John Lambert owned the Seabrook Road farm from about the time of his marriage to Susannah Barber, about 1765, until his death on February 4, 1823. To my amazement and regret, he did not write a will, so his property was supposed to be divided among the heirs in the traditional way–one third to the widow, and the other two-thirds divided among the children or their heirs. Despite being married twice and having many children, he had no surviving sons. His second wife, Hannah survived him, so she was entitled to a third of the estate. But the administrators were slow to act, so the heirs petitioned the Orphans Court to grant a division of the property. And that turned out to be very fortuitous, because a survey was made for the dower lot. And even better, a map of the survey was included in the division of Lambert's lands, which was recorded in the county clerk's office.22 This is a copy I made of the map; apologies for my penciled notes. The course running next to the north arrow follows Seabrook Road.
The map shows the Dower Lot as being 111.66 acres. The property lines come very close to those shown on the tax map for Block 60 lot 12. The remainder of John Lambert's property was a tract of 294.97 acres located mostly on the west side of Seabrook Road, extending to the Delaware River, much of which is occupied by Trap Rock Quarry today. This is not the most desirable land for farming purposes, which seems odd for an intelligent man like Lambert.
. . . the use of one half of the cellar, the use of the kitchen the two west rooms on the lower floor of the dwelling house, the two East rooms up one pair of stairs, the use of the garret, one half the use of the spring and spring house, one half of the garden (the widest half her choice), one half of the wagon house from the north side, the new hovel and stabling, one half the barn yard and well of water by the same, the use of the threshing floor or reasonable time to thresh on doing as little injury as possible, in all the above excepting it is to be understood that the heirs and the widow Hannah Lambert have a common right to the necessary passes, lains [sic], gates, stairways and doors, but to use them with as little prejudice to the other part as possible.
All of this was to be shared with the heirs that petitioned the Orphan's Court for the division of Lambert's lands, which they did on September 24, 1825, two and a half years after the Senator's death. They were the four daughters of John and Susannah Lambert (Sarah, Amy, Achsah and Catharine), or their heirs, and the three daughters of John and Hannah Lambert (Jerusha, Miriam and Maria).
Because the census records are no help for this time period, I am only guessing that the people most likely to be sharing the Lambert household with Hannah Lambert were daughter Amy Hoppock (who may have been living with son Wm. L. Hoppock or daughter Susanna Wilson) and granddaughter Achsah L. Dennis (who was at this time a single orphan). The division did not state what was to become of the remaining 294.97 acres located to the west of Seabrook Road.
Hannah Little Lambert died on January 10, 1835, at the age of 88. She was buried next to her husband in the Barber Cemetery on Lambertville-Headquarters Road. There was no obituary for her in the Hunterdon or Trenton newspapers. Apparently, the Senator was all but forgotten by then, as well as Hannah's horrific experiences during the Revolution, which merit a separate story. Before she died, the farm was conveyed to her grandson, William L. Hoppock, who had married her daughter Maria Lambert. He purchased the farm on April 1, 1826. This was apparently not a public sale, for no notice of it was given in the Hunterdon Gazette.
The next post will describe what happened to the Senator's farm after 1826.
Correction: I originally referred to Wm. L. Hoppock as the son-in-law of Hannah Lambert, when in fact he was her grandson. I also misused the term probate when referring to the estate of Sen. John Lambert.
10/21/16: Added information about the property of Joseph Lambert, which I did not have when I first published the article.
and back in fine form.
very interesting – thank you!!!
Hello, great work you have done. My Ancestors: BORTON, AUSTIN, HAINES, LAMBERD (OR LAMBERT) SHARP all landed in Rancocas Creek, Burlington County, NJ in mid 1600's. They were Quakers from England.
Catherine Lamberd b. 1608 d. 1627, daughter of Francis Lamberd and Jane Barker . Catherine married Alexander Austin b. 1606 d. 1645. They had Francis Austin b. 1645 d. 1686 , he married Elizabeth Lau. They had Francis Austin b.1674 d. 1686/7 who came over in 1600's with his sister Elizabeth. Francis married Mary BORTON b. 1678 d. 1739 daughter of John Borton b. 1633 d. 1687 and Ann Kinton Borton b. 1636 d. 1687. John Borton and Ann came over with the Austin's and Haines. Mary Borton, daughter of John and Ann Borton married WILLIAM SHARP.
William Sharp, John Borton, Francis Ausin and Richard Haines all were the progenitors of their surnames to the USA. Borton Landing Road is named after Mary Borton (who married Francis Austin) they are my 6th Great Grandparents.
Mary Austin , the wife of CYRUS MOORE, was the daughter of Jonathon Austin and Rebecca MASON.
John BORTON (progenitor of the name Borton in USA) was a N.J. Legislator. John and Ann are my 7th Great Grandparents.
Samuel BROWN and his son Thomas were Privateers in the Rev. War, they lived in Toms River. The British burnt Samuel's house down and took all of his possessions. Samuel is my 4th Great Grandfather.
Question: I was wondering why ( in your awesome report I just read), aren't my Ancestors I mentioned above in your report? They bartered with the Indians also to acquire their land.

Hey Baby…I think I wanna marry you…
Romance. It is all a mystery to me. However some people are a little bit better than myself and they certainly have a lot of good friends and family who can help them out if they want to do a big gesture. I'm not entirely sure how this video passed me by in 2012 but it did and when I saw it last night I cried. I genuinely cried at the beauty of it.
Embedded below is a video of Isaac as he proposes to his girlfriend Amy.
To watch on YouTube so you can go full screen then please click here.
I watched it again today as I was writing this blog and I cried again – out of both eyes. If you can watch the above video without crying then I'll be mightily impressed. If a stone-hearted cynic like myself blubs at romance then I'm pretty sure everyone would. I suppose it is just the sight of seeing genuine happiness and deep down we all love true romance no matter what we portray. We want to be happy and we love to see other people happy.
Amy's reactions are just wonderful and how would anyone react to seeing all their friends and family take part in an event just for them?
Now the likelihood of me ever proposing is a long shot. The fact is I don't believe in marriage and obviously the whole getting a partner thing is also an issue but if I did – and yes I know that is a big if – I would love to do something that was truly memorable. I'm sure any proposal is romantic and memorable but doing something truly out of the ordinary, original and special. Yeah that is how I'd like it to be.
Beautiful. I hope they have a long and happy life together. I truly do.
I expected Hot Dog Heaven but what I got was a sense of slight disappointment.
I got a bit excited the other day when I was surfing just-eat to decide what I was going to get for takeaway as I found a place that made custom burgers and hot dogs with a plethora of sauces and toppings. The idea that I could have a chilli dog was immensely appealing but more than that it seemed to be a real alternative from Chinese, Indian, Chippy, Kebab or Pizza. In all honesty I very rarely get a kebab or a pizza but having an extra option appealed.
So last night I took the plunge and gave it a spin and thought I'd write a review on it. Well I said I would as I had been ordered to by a big bad New York based banker. Well he's neither big nor bad but the other words are accurate. He also wants a review of the Millennium Trilogy in Swedish but that probably is going to have to be in English as my Swedish is a bit rusty.
So I ordered some onion rings, a chilli dog and a hot dog smothered in chicken curry. I thought it was a tad expensive but if they really impressed then it'd be worth it as a change-up from my usual takeaway experiences. I must add here that the reviews were excellent on the site – like really really good so I was expecting great things – not good things – great things.
An expected delivery time of an hour was no surprise as it was Saturday night but my buzzer went just 22 minutes later which wasn't too shabby at all. This is what I received:
I thought the onion rings were more than adequate. Exactly how you'd expect onion rings to be. Crispy with real onion. Yeah I can't say anything bad about them so good solid start. Then I had my chilli dog…
Chilli Dog
I unwrapped the chilli dog and first thing I noticed was it was nice and big and had a very soft bap – exactly how I like it. I hate places that make hot dogs with baguette bread. I like my baps soft. The taste wasn't exactly what I'd call chilli but it wasn't bad. I maybe expected more because of the awesome reviews but it was a perfectly edible hot dog. As for the chicken curry dog…
Chicken Curry Dog
Well the chicken curry did not taste like any chicken curry I had eaten before. Again it wasn't bad but I just wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be.
I'll probably try it again at some point – a hot dog with crab meat sounds enticing and I want to give their burgers a shot as everyone says they are the best in town. However I wasn't bowled over by Lunch in a Bag but more than willing to give it a second shot. Nothing was bad about my food but I didn't sit there afterwards and think 'dang I really really want another one' which is what I thought I would be feeling.
Sunderland kick out fans who stand and suspend them from the Stadium of Light
It has been an issue that has rumbled on for all of my football going lifetime. Some people like to stand to watch games but they simply are not allowed to. When I was a Season Ticket holder in the Fratton End every so often you'd hear rumours about the club clamping down on persistent standers and kicking them out. The stewards had no heart for it and would put in a cursory and half-hearted effort to tell people to sit down but it was never going to happen. However things are not the same up at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland have decided that the time was right to evict people who continually stood and suspended their Season Tickets. Speaking on the Official Sunderland Website head of Safety & Security Paul Weir said:
"The figure for fans ejected due to persistent standing last season as a whole was just 20 so we can see that there has been a significant increase in the early part of this season. We certainly don't wish to spoil the enjoyment of any supporters, we want a vibrant lively match-day atmosphere just as much as the fans do, but we also have legal obligations that we must be seen to be adhering to.
"We also have a duty of care to all of our supporters, including elderly and disabled fans who have contacted us very concerned that their enjoyment on a match-day is being compromised because people around them stand throughout the game. Naturally we want to ensure a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone at the Stadium of Light and we'd ask supporters to listen to requests from stewards and help us to eradicate persistent standing for the sake of all fans."
This is the same guy who has publicly stated that he wants to see safe standing areas in football grounds but he's decided enough is enough and has taken a hard line against fans. My opinion on this is unsurprisingly that the man in question is an idiot who has gone way too far. The problem seems to have stemmed from the club moving away fans to a new areas and therefore displacing the standers to various areas of the ground.
Standing isn't for everyone. I know that and everyone knows that. However there are many who do enjoy standing and fans know in general where these people are housed. As I stated earlier I had a Season Ticket in the back on the centre of the Fratton End. I knew it was an area where people stood and I prefer to watch games standing up. It worked for me and for all those round me. These unofficial standing areas are around in most clubs. I have never felt unsafe standing in a sitting area and I doubt many other have either.
Football needs to address this issue. Safe standing areas need to be brought in. It just has to happen because if clubs are actually going to start evicting and banning them from coming into the ground because of this then things have gone too far. You can stand at sporting events and be safe and the sooner the English football authorities understand this the better for everyone
Have yourself a very Neil Christmas
If you know me then you know one thing. I'm boring. No wait not that. If you know me then you know one thing. I use far too many full stops instead of commas. No not that either. Get a grip Monnery and get this blog under way. Ok if you know me then you'll know one thing about me – I'm not Christmassy at all. In fact I'm extremely anti-Christmas. I have been for many years.
I just feel that Christmas just brings stress and you are expected to act in a certain way and I don't like that. The thing I hate above all in life is the feeling of being expected to be happy when in fact I'm not. I keep my emotions under such a tight leash that I wonder who the last person to see me genuinely happy was. I don't even recall a time where I was genuinely happy. Of course the flip side to this is I am also rarely genuinely sad although this year gave me around nine days of hell in the Spring.
So instead of going to my Mum's today I stayed here and spent the day on my own like I spend the majority of my life. It was well and truly my choice so I don't want any pity for being alone at Christmas. I'm 29 not a teenager but even now people look down on you with those eyes when you tell them that you'll be alone at Christmas. Like Christmas is different to any other day in the world. If you are not religious then Christmas has no real significance and as much as I am a Chris Kamara fan I'm not going to celebrate his birthday.
So here is a look into my world today. I woke up late in the morning. Got up just before the India v Pakistan T20 international and watched that (which Pakistan thoroughly deserved to win I must say). I had leftover Indian from last night and then this evening I scrolled through my Sky Movies library and downloaded and watched The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (English version) and here we are I'm writing this and the Boxing Day Test Match is about to start at the MCG. This is my life and this is what I've chosen.
It has been interesting to read Twitter and Facebook all day as people speak about what they've got with a mix of excitement and disappointment. I just haven't done the whole present thing for many a year as I think so many things are bought and then not used and I (unsurprisingly) don't like the expectation of the whole process. The only thing I actually like is the food but it's essentially just an elaborate roast dinner and I love roast dinners.
I wonder if I'll ever celebrate Christmas like the rest of the world ever again. If I had kids that would be different (but I'm not having kids) so yeah so that as they say is that. I wonder what things will look like come this day 2013. I wouldn't be too shocked if things are very similar and the Boxing Day Test next year with be an Ashes Test. Christmas is a strange beast but for me it is just another day.
This time last year I was seeing someone and they told me they would force me to be more Christmassy next year. I told her that is would be an impossible task but she was adamant and that she was never wrong. Well she met someone else and promptly stopped talking to me. Looking around I think I can now prove that she was wrong and I was maybe even less Christmassy this year than last which is quite something.
Ok I'm hungry (and really fancy a roast dinner) but I don't have anything for one. I'll go find something to eat and leave to you it. I hope you all enjoyed the day whatever you did and if you didn't have the 'stereotypical' Christmas then don't worry – I know a considerable amount of people who didn't and remember – it is just a day.
BBC drop Monaco GP to pick up Canadian GP – Full BBC/Sky F1 Coverage for 2013
The BBC and Sky have started to make announcements about their coverage of Formula 1 for the 2013 season. Sky basically have announced that it is very much status quo. David Croft & Martin Brundle remain as the voice and face of the sport as expected. Simon Lazenby keeps his spot as presenter despite criticism. Damon Hill and Antony Davidson remain and Johnny Herbert returns to the channel after joining early in 2012 and becoming a firm favourite. Georgie Thompson stays as well and Ted Kravitz leads the pit team with Natalie Pinkham getting drivers interviews. So as expected Sky very much have kept with its team from 2012 with only Herbert added to the opening race team and he had become a mainstay since early in 2012.
Over at the BBC though decisions had to be made as Jake Humphrey quit the BBC to become the face of Football on BT Vision. Well they've made their first decision as surprisingly Suzi Perry has replaced him as the anchor. Most thought Lee McKensie would be promoted but they've gone for Suzi Perry – who has worked on Moto GP for the channel although she quit that role in part because of the excess travel involved – so coming back to do F1 doesn't make a whole lot of sense but of course presenting Moto GP and F1 is two very different things – with two very different salaries.
No word yet from the BBC on whether Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard will be returning but with Sky having named their line-up there doesn't seem to be room for them unless they went to a three-man booth and personally I wouldn't like to see that.
The other thing we now know is which channel will be showing which races. The full calendar is below:
17 March Australian Grand Prix – Sky
24 March Malaysian Grand Prix – Sky
14 April Chinese Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
21 April Bahrain Grand Prix – Sky
12 May Spanish Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
26 May Monaco Grand Prix – Sky
09 June Canadian Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
30 June British Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
7 July German Grand Prix = Sky
21 July 'A.N. Other European Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
28 July Hungarian Grand Prix – Sky
25 August Belgian Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
08 September Italian Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
22 September Singapore Grand Prix – Sky
06 October Korean Grand Prix – Sky
13 October Japanese Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
27 October Indian Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
03 November Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – Sky
17 November United States Grand Prix – Sky
24 November Brazilian Grand Prix – BBC/Sky
The biggest difference is that the BBC have used their first three picks on Britain and Brazil again but Monaco has gone with Canada having gone to the Beeb. An interesting choice as the Canadian Grand Prix has long been one of the very best and is held in prime-time. The Italian GP also goes to the BBC this time around (guessing Australia, USA, Monaco were Sky's first three picks) but overall you'd probably say that the BBC are getting a better quality of race this time around.
The July 21 race is expected to be either Turkey or possibly a return of either the Austrian or French Grand Prix. I'd love to see the Austrian race return as I think the A1 Ring brought us a few really good races as the track as several really good overtaking opportunities. This race has been added to the calendar because the second race in the United States (New Jersey) has been postponed until 2014.
Last year was a thriller for Formula 1 fans and if next year can be as good then we'll be in for a fantastic year of Motorsport. Whether you watch on the Beeb or on Sky the coverage should be some of the very best in the world.
In defence of the now 'truly independent' independent councillor Dr. Vel
In May I got mullered in the local elections. I got a beating that was so bad that an expert dominatrix would have been embarrassed at the markings left on my body (that is a lie – she would be proud) but the defeat at the hands of Dr. Vel was to be expected. Dr. Vel has is now in his third term as an independent councillor for the Westborough ward on Southend Council. He had previously served as a Labour member on the council.
Well Dr. Vel has 'officially' now left the independent group on Southend Council and now considers himself a true independent. We have long known that this was going down as the relationship between Cllr. Velmurugan and the leader of the independent group Cllr. Terry has been strained for some time. We aren't talking weeks here we are talking months. So a parting of the ways officially was in reality a Fait accompli.
Cllr. Terry though has fired a broadside at Cllr. Velmurugan telling him via the local rag that he should quit and open up a by-election in Westborough ward if he wants to serve as an independent councillor. What horse shit says I.
The whole role of the 'independent group' on Southend council is one that is to be frank – quite laughable. They claim to be independent and spend most of their time raging against party politics but yet they are themselves a recognised group on the council and in doing so they get facilities at the Civic Centre and their leader takes home extra money based on the fact that he is the leader of their group. If I'm correct this decision now means that the independent group are now not the official opposition to the Conservatives on the council and therefore financially Cllr. Terry is hit by this as now both Cllr. Longley (Lib Dems) and himself lead a group of people on the council with the same number of councillors.
If Cllr. Velmurugan sees himself as a 'true independent' then so what? The ballot papers that the people of Westborough faced on May 3 had the line 'Dr. Vel – Independent' on them not 'Dr. Vel – Member of the Independent Group' (as shown below) therefore I have zero problem with him staying on as long as he puts in the work that his fellow Westborough councillors (Cllr. Terry and Cllr. Collins) do for the people of the ward. If he doesn't sit on any committees that doesn't diminish his right to be a councillor. He hasn't hoodwinked the people who voted for him by going to another party. He was elected as an independent and is still an independent. Just not part of the independent group on the council.
Westborough ward Ballot Paper
I'd have so much more time for the independent group if they labelled themselves as something else. Maybe the 'Southend First' group or the 'Southend against Party Politics' group but they aren't independent and this is a case in point. Someone leaves the group but stays as an independent and they are getting attacked by their group leader. Yes the group can (and do vote) in different ways but so do other councillors and groups. The Thorpe Bay three went into a voting pact with the Tories to get the best deal for their constituents in Thorpe Bay (although their failure to act on getting Christmas lights down The Broadway despite collecting money from all the shopkeepers along The Broadway hasn't exactly gone down well amongst the shopkeepers down the parade of shops).
If the independents are truly independent then they would have no issue with Cllr. Velmurugan not being part of their group and being a 'true independent' but as they clearly do then I think it is safe to say that they aren't truly independent. A lot of people like the idea of having independents involved as they see that they will not have party politics to answer to but the independent group on the council do have party politics and that is becoming all the more clear by the day.
Edit 21/12/12: As Cllr. Ware-Lane points out in the comments. The numbers are now 10/9 not 9/9 and therefore my financial points are not relevant about group leader salaries/allowances are not valid.
They pre-empted a football game for an Obama talk on guns at a memorial service? Are they are reals?
Damn straight they are buckos.
In case you were unaware we saw a genuine tragedy in the United States last week as a young men went mad in an elementary school killing 27 people including himself and it is 28 when you add that he killed his mother before reaching the school. 20 of those that died were young children.
This is a huge story and it has really made a dent in the psyche of the American citizen but when the tragedy impacts the number one football game of the week then it becomes too much.
Yes last night the networks all opted-out of regular scheduled programming to bring President Obama's speech at the Newtown Memorial Service. The issue for many was that the speech was just after 8:30 EST and at that time there is the number one weekly sporting event on network TV – the NBC Sunday Night Football telecast. So a few minutes into the game the announcer Al Michaels said they were stepping away from the game to take the President's speech and NBC opted out. The game did continue on their cable network NBC Sports.
However far too many people thought this wasn't good enough and took to twitter to complain about the decision to opt-out of the NFL game. Deadspin takes up the story with the quoted titled story – "Take That Nigger Off The TV, We Wanna Watch Football!": Idiots Respond To NBC Pre-Empting Sunday Night Football.
So many of the tweets are just insane. You have to wonder if these people have a brain in their heads. This is also the reason why I think the likelihood to gun law changes in the US is so unlikely even though to sane observers it seems like the obvious thing that needs to happen. I won't quote them all but here are a handful of the tweets of anger that the President was talking when there was an NFL game on:
WOOW THEY TOOK OFF SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!! TO WATCH THIS NIGGER!! OBAMA TALK ABOUT THE SHOOTING NIGGA IDGAF! THE PATROITS PLAYING!!!
Obama can eat shit, trying to make a speech during the football game. Unacceptable
You have got to be fucking kidding me Obama, you stupid motherfucker. It's football time in America not you to give a speech you fuck!
Obama instead of Football are they nuts? Who cares what the twerp has to say. #@whitehouse #POTUS #NBC
Yes the shooting is sad but Obama is ruining millions of kids lives daily & i want to watch some damn football, fuck you Obama
Just a quick reply to all of these tweets one on one. Someone doesn't give a fuck about the shooting because the 'PATROITS' are playing. Classy and he can't even spell Patriots. Yeah unacceptable that the President is making a speech during an NFL game. If someone nuked American soil on a Sunday night should the President wait to tell the nation they are at war until after the NFL? Football over lives is a stupid position to take. Lots of people care very deeply about what the President has to say and lastly if you want to watch some damn football then just change the freaking channel dumbass. I have noticed several of the people quoted in that piece have deleted their twitter accounts.
I'm cynical on whether the President has the guts to take on the gun lobby. I hope he does. I really hope he does. He is a second term President and therefore has a bit more freedom but taking on the gun lobby is a different kettle of fish. A friend of mine said last night that the biggest issue isn't even the NRA but those anarchists who think that they need an easy supply of guns in case they ever need to overthrow the government. Just how scary is that?
Personally the fact no-one even hinted at any gun discussion after the Virginia Tech massacre appals me but it seems that when the people slain are of elementary age people care far more than they do when those gunned down are of university age.
Writing just a couple of weeks ago I wrote Bob Costas uses his Prime Time TV audience to talk gun control laws after NFL murder-suicide. It is something that America as a nation has to look at if they want to stop so many senseless deaths. After 9/11 so many laws were changed after 3,000 people died but nearly one third of a million people have died as a direct result of gun related crime this century in the United States and yet nothing has happened nor even been discussed.
When that poor girl asked Will McAvoy at Northwestern University, 'what makes America the greatest country in the world?' the answer certainly had nothing to do their views on guns. Guns alone may not kill people but if people have a free and easy access to a gun then they'll be more likely to use it to harm another. Gun control is what Americans deserve because they deserve the feeling of being safe but when people say that this episode shows that teachers should in fact be armed it says a lot about how deep the gun culture is in the USA and that is the battle the anti-gun brigade face.
The Diary of my Common Cold
As you may have noticed I haven't posted anything in a week. Well this is due to both my PC dying last Sunday and the fact that I've been laid low with the dreaded and deadly man-flu – which is also known as a bit of a weak common cold. I'm pretty bad when ill as I think the world is going to end. I won't pretend I grin and bear it. I just moan and sulk and become the most cliché person ever however this time I persevered and acted a little bit better than usual. So lets look at how the week (and the cold) went.
Day One – Tuesday
I woke up Tuesday morning with more phlegm lining my throat than I thought existed in nature. However after a drink or two of squash and a coughing or two I felt fine. I had no inclination that I had a cold but clearly in retrospect I was going to suffer. My nose was stuffy but a blast of Olbas Oil and it cleared and I felt good to go. I had to go out on Tuesday night as I was covering a radio show and all was fine Tuesday afternoon and evening. I thought maybe I had just slept a bit funny – or with my mouth open – leading to a dry throat as by lunchtime I was genuinely feeling fine.
Day Two – Wednesday
I woke up with a sore throat but no other issues. No phlegm lining my throat. Just a rawness. However it wasn't that bad and after more squash it was fine and again I was out on the Wednesday. In retrospect I'd have cancelled as I was doing Hospital Radio and ward liaison with patients. I was feeling ok until the show started and my throat got more and more raw as the show went on. I was starting to feel pain when I swallowed.
When I got in this pain was certainly getting more pronounced and I was coughing up phlegm at an unhealthy (literally) pace. I decided to eat something. Feed a cold and starve a fever so they say. I coughed up most of my food. Not good. I was clearly now coming down with something. I didn't like this.
Day Three – Thursday
I woke up several times in the night as I was drenched in sweat. My internal thermostat was all over the shop. Another sign of being ill. I was woken up by the doorbell and I went to say thank you to the postman but no words came out. I had no voice. Disaster. I had a stint commentating on Southend United v Bradford City on Saturday. No voice and live radio commentary do not make a good match.
I went into full blown cliché mode. I was drinking soup, drinking a pint of squash every hour or so, eating Ice Cream and having two hot showers a day. All these things I believed either helped speed up the healing process or soothed the symptoms. I think you drink as much liquid as possible to flush your system. It is lucky I woke from home as I was blowing out snot and peeing at a vast rate of knots.
It was like my penis and my nose were having their own internal competition to see who could dispel the most stuff from my body. My throat was trying to play but just couldn't keep up. Day three was the first day the nose had become involved and clear thin nasal fluids were free-flowing. At this point I was pretty sure I would not be sitting in the Radio Commentary Box at Roots Hall on the Saturday.
Day Four – Friday
My hopes of commentating on the match were now back on as I felt a lot better on Friday meaning because I couldn't feel my throat. There was no rawness or pain coming from it. There was a voice there but I was still resting it. If I could talk then I had a shot of being well enough to go.
As a general rule I don't do medicine as I think it weakens the long-term effectiveness of your immune system. So basically beyond the odd lemsip I won't have anything. In this instance I stuck to that with lemsip being the only medicine that I ingested and still only two a day. Lemsip and Olbas Oil were my weapons that I had at hand in an attempt to control the symptoms as I awaited for my immune system to start winning the war on the rhinovirus that was living and trying to flourish inside of me.
My nose was now in full on liquid disposal mode. It didn't seem to be clearing anything apart from it's own fluid as it was crystal clear and showed no sign of clearing any bad stuff with it. This was disappointing as I knew the moment this fluid became thicker and yellow then I'd be well on the way to victory as that was a sign the virus had lost and the body needed to get rid of it.
Day Five – Saturday
Woke up way too early and decided to give myself an hour to decide if I had to phone in sick for the radio to give them time to get someone else in. I had no headache to speak of. I had nothing wrong with my throat which was important but my nose was still free flowing. Apart from the annoyance over my nose I actually felt ok.
Decision was made to not call in sick. I was just going to deal with it and go dosed up with Olbas Oil and tissues in my bag. I didn't think about getting actual tissues and went with bog roll. This is not good for the nose. In future I need to ensure I get lotioned tissues. I was lucky I only used bog roll whilst I was out and bought a box of proper tissues when I got back.
Day five though had brought something new to the party. Sneezing. I was sneezing like I had never sneezed before in my life. Yet another stage of the common cold as clearly my body wanted to expel things and decided that sneezing was a good idea.
Decided that I'd got a hot curry and onion bahjis to help sweat out the final bits of the virus. Only ate a bit of it and left some for a second dose on Sunday. Also washed and changed all my bedding on day five as I always do when ill. I clean and wash when I know I'm on the upswing as otherwise I just drench the sheets and duvet cover with sweat.
Day Six – Sunday
Humanity. I feel human. No headache. No dicky throat. No sneezing fits. No cough (apart from a few coughs to clear the throat of gunk first thing) and the nose had changed. Instead of running faster than Usain Bolt on acid it was clear and I could breathe. As the day has gone on I have had to clear it a few times but I was clearing thick gunk and that is the final sign of victory. Also didn't wake up once in the night and woke up at a normal time for me. That is a huge sign of victory.
There is no doubt that it'll take two or three more days to get back to 100% but I know the worst is very much over. I never know what the worst part is as I hate having a cough, I hate a runny nose but I think the sore throat is my Achilles heel. As I work from home I can clear my nose all the time and it isn't a big issue but that sore scratchy throat is a right pain.
So to summarise the first day I woke up feeling a bit grot but quickly got over it. Day two I had a sore throat that wouldn't go away but was never too bad until late in the day. Day three was the worst day as I felt really quite under the weather. Day four I knew I had turned the corner and by day five I was on the upswing. Day six would be the first day I have felt like I could go out and wouldn't worry about snot going everywhere and when you worry about snot you know you aren't in a good place.
So from beginning to end it has been six days but only late on day two to the middle of day four would I say I was seriously unwell. I hope no-one who saw me in the past week goes down with a cold as if they do I'll feel terrible. I hate being ill. I really do. It is amazing how much Googling I did to read about the common cold to see what I could do but from first sign to feeling human again in less than six days is a pretty average time period but only two days of being really down with it I'd take every time I get a cold.
Do The Mobot – Charity Single for the Mo Farah Foundation
Mo Farah brought us more drama on consecutive Saturday nights on the BBC than we've seen in years. Yes a lot of people like and watch Strictly Come Dancing religiously and Doctor Who has a huge fan base as does Casualty but live sport is always more dramatic and the Olympics caught the imagination of the country – even those that don't like sport and Mo Farah was arguably the face of the games for GB athletes.
Well Mo Farah set up the Mo Farah Foundation that helps provide life saving aid in East Africa. His success on the track has helped give his foundation a much better profile and on this front has led to him recording a charity single which you can view below and follow the instructions to download it from the foundations website.
The 'Mobot' was suggested by arguably one of the other faces of the Olympic Games – although in a very different capacity – Clare Balding. The Presenter who fronted the swimming for the BBC at London 2012 came up with the idea of the Mobot on the Sky One show 'A League Of Their Own' and it more than stuck.
The video for the single shows many famous faces doing the Mobot as well as Mo's various stretches as part of his warm-up routine. Boris Johnson is pretty cool in it but Tom Daley's performance on top of the diving board is also pretty darn cool.
Look lets be honest. The single is awful but it is a bit of fun and for a good cause so if you want a giggle watch the video and give something to the Mo Farah Foundation.
Liz Cohen wins the Shenfield by-election for a second Lib Dem gain in the ward in seven months
I wrote last month that Liz Cohen and the Lib Dems had a legitimate chance of making a gain in Shenfield on December 6 2012. Well it is now December 6 (at the time of writing – probably December 7 by the time I post this) and they have indeed fulfilled my expectations as Elizabeth Clare Cohen was this evening duly elected as one of three councillors for Shenfield ward on Brentwood Borough Council with a majority of 171.
The full results are as follows:
COHEN, Elizabeth Clare 728 – Liberal Democrat
MAY, Stephen Edward 557 – The Conservative Party Candidate
MILLWOOD, Richard 31 – The Labour Party Candidate
WATT, David 119 – UKIP
Here in a photo of the result being read out courtesy of the 'Liz Cohen for Shenfield' Facebook page:
Liz Cohen winning the Shenfield by-election. A Lib Dem gain in the ward. One of several across the country tonight.
Shenfield last saw a Liberal Democrat councillor in 1996 if I recall correctly before the real shock of victory in May by young Graeme Clark and when this by-election was called after the Tory candidate quit to look after his sick wife then it became a Lib Dem target due to their win in May.
Well the team did good and have got another Lib Dem councillor on to the borough council. The old Lib Dem adage for the Lib Dems is 'where we work, we win' and in all honesty this victory is testament to that. I was getting many e-mail from Karen Chilvers et al from the team to help with the campaign but due to working full-time and the shocking train service between there and here I was unable to help but they have a great organisation and showed that working hard actually leads to good results.
Apparently the Lib Dems are kicking ass tonight and showing that reports of the death of the party may have been exaggerated and whilst council seats in by-elections don't mean a lot in the great deal of things I think most Lib Dems – and most politicos – will admit that the strength of the Lib Dems has always been at local level. This took a huge hit in 2011 and another hit in 2012 but maybe people are starting to listen once more and if that is the case then maybe local election results might not be as depressing in the future as they have been the past couple of years.
From all I've read about Liz she's an exceptional candidate and should be an exception councillor. I think a lot of Lib Dem groups could have a long hard look at Brentwood Lib Dems as a template for how to be successful. I've said it before but it is worth saying it again. A lot of admiration for the team there and I hope they toast their hard work tonight or over the next couple of days. They'll have thoroughly deserved it.

Cheteshwar Pujara reminds me of Hashim Amla, it's a blessing to have him: Sunil Gavaskar
Gavaskar lavished massive praises on Pujara.

Updated - Jan 08, 2022, 18:59 IST
Veteran Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has been at the receiving end of heavy criticism lately. Having scored his last Test ton back in January 2019, the right-handed batter has endured a mediocre run in recent years. However, he has still managed to play some crucial knocks every now and then. Pujara even showcased his caliber in the recently-concluded second Test against South Africa, scoring 53 on a challenging Johannesburg track.
He added 111 runs with another under-fire batter, Ajinkya Rahane, as India set a 240-run target for South Africa, which the hosts achieved with seven wickets in hand. While the visitors didn't get the favourable result, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar is mighty impressed with Pujara's stellar show. He even compared Pujara to South African batting great Hashim Amla.
Having Cheteshwar Pujara in the dressing room must be absolutely terrific: Sunil Gavaskar
"When I look at him, he reminds me of Hashim. Watching Hashim bat, you know there's a sense of calm that everything is under control. The ball could be doing things but there was that sense because even on pitches where the ball was turning, the way Hashim was batting in India, it was almost as if, 'look, nothing's happening', and that's the same thing with Cheteshwar Pujara," said Gavaskar on SuperSport
Gavaskar further insisted that having a player of Pujara's temperament is "absolutely terrific" for the dressing room. "It is a great, great blessing to have players of this temperament in your dressing room. (It may not be) necessarily just on the field but it's a huge plus and I think having somebody with Cheteshwar Puajra's temperament in the changing room must be absolutely terrific," asserted Gavaskar.
"In international cricket, there are several moments of tension where people would want to do this or that or the other. When you have somebody who's going to think about it calmly and give you a measured opinion it makes a big difference," he added.
Meanwhile, the ongoing three-match series is perfectly poised at 1-1. Hence, the third and final game, which takes place at the Newlands in Cape Town, will be the decider.

Low targeting Euro 2020 as Germany face Nations League relegation
Jerome Boateng and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are not in the latest Germany squad, with coach Joachim Low explaining his decision.
Germany are looking ahead to Euro 2020 as they face relegation from the top division of the Nations League, says coach Joachim Low.
After two defeats from their three Group A games, Germany are propping up the table and will be relegated if Netherlands beat France on November 16.
Germany have had a terrible 2018, with Low's men knocked out of the World Cup in the group stage despite the holders being among the tournament favourites.
Low has left out Jerome Boateng and Marc-Andre ter Stegen for fitness reasons and the Germany coach accepts he is already planning ahead for Euro 2020.
"Obviously we want to do all we can to stay in League A, but it's not in our hands anymore," Low told the DFB website. "We're looking at more than just the Nations League. Euro 2020 is our next main aim.
"Until then, we want to have a powerful team on the pitch once again. To this end, the qualifying games for Euro 2020 are obviously important for us, whether we're playing in League A or League B.
"I'm quite sure that they'll be a lot of changes before 2020, but they'll be well-planned and we won't do anything hasty. There's no reason to do that. We'll find the right solutions and answers.
"The squad is always a snapshot between big tournaments; it's not set in stone. Not everyone who is playing currently will be on the pitch at Euro 2020 in two years' time."

While Boateng and Ter Stegen will sit out Germany's game against Netherlands in Gelsenkirchen on November 19, Marco Reus could make his return to international action four days earlier in a friendly against Russia.
The Borussia Dortmund star has scored six Bundesliga goals this season to fire his side to the top of the table ahead of Saturday's Klassiker against Bayern Munich and Low is pleased Reus has recovered from injury issues.
"I'm glad that Marco's finally hit a rich vein of form for Borussia Dortmund once again, of course," Low added. "He can also help the national side when he's in this form, that's what I'm anticipating from him. I hope that he can carry on playing like he is.
"Obviously I'm hoping that we can sign off well with two games in front of our fans after a difficult year. It's good that we're playing both games in front of our own fans. We want to show the enthusiasm that we've been showing for years. We have to play well, especially against the Netherlands."

❶Here are other tips for better business writing: Writing coaches, teachers, and authors of creative writing books often speak of the writer's voice as distinguished from other literary elements.
This style guide focuses on business communications and is tailored for people who write on the job, which distinguishes it from style guides that are written from a journalism perspective. Results of that survey are summarized in the first chapter. The book also includes a page section of A-to-Z entries on usage, grammar, punctuation and spelling for words and phrases commonly used in business writing.
The Business Style Handbook is on the recommended reading list for Microsoft Education Written Competencies  and is found in university libraries around the world. It is frequently recommended for business writing courses at universities, including USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Why Style Matters Discusses the importance of writing well to establish credibility in business.
The Case for Standards Reviews the benefits organizations can gain from helping employees strengthen their writing skills. Before You Hit Send Gives recommendations for best practices in business emails, such as how to write smartphone-friendly emails.
This will set the tone, the style, and structure of your letter. This is your message and your goal. Defining your purpose will set things right at the very beginning. For example, if your purpose is to excite and invite the employees to join the annual talent contest of the company as a team-building effort, you cannot bore them with long paragraphs explaining how the activity will help boost their productivity, write too formal sentences, or use heavy office or work jargon.
The purpose tells you to keep your lines light yet still professional, use bullets, and add an exclamation point or two at the end of the memo. To determine how the document will appear, it is only critical to ask yourself first if your purpose is:. Another significant step in order to make an impact on your audience is to know them. For example, if you simply send a letter to employees about attending a conference on a Sunday and reiterating that it is a requirement, a portion of your workforce might resume to work with worries in their heads because they have religious obligations to meet on Sundays.
If you can tailor your letter without touching any religion, culture or sensitive issue in an uncomfortable way, work would be much smoother and solidarity among the people will remain intact. In fact, when it comes to my whole business, details are everything. I hire people who care about those details. Hence, there is a need to prevent grammatical errors and inappropriate writing in business communication.
There should be less jargon—unless it is a technical document—and more specific words and brief yet strong phrases. Be as definite and as clear as possible.
Headings and bullets — Headings are used to underscore the main points, form white space, and make it easy for readers to scan the document.
Bullets, on the other hand, are often for series of items. Tables — These are used when subjects or options are being compared or contrasted to one another. These tools will avoid the repetition of the company names and categories throughout the text. There would be less words because the data no longer needs extensive explanation. Maps, flowcharts, and diagrams — These are for more complex data or connections of data that text alone can no longer detail substantially.
This will make your document more reliable and convincing. Ideas in your business should flow in a logical manner to keep the whole discussion smooth and all thoughts cohesive. The Purdue University has guide questions for reviewing professional papers.
Barbie Carpenter of Demand Media, a digital marketing agency, in an article , shares the four types of business communication:. This type of correspondence encourages people, especially those in the office, to take actions or follow specific instructions.
Remember that in business writing, each idea gets its own paragraph, even if it means a paragraph is comprised of only one sentence. Write in active voice unless it's important to disguise who took the action.
Strive to structure your sentence so the person or thing that takes the action appears at the beginning. The sentence "President Miller reviewed the report" is in active voice.
Disguise who took the action with passive voice when necessary. For instance, if you want to inform readers of a mistake but don't want to blame a specific person for it, you might write "a mistake was made in the closing procedure. Think about what the company would say, not what you say. Remind yourself that your readers work for the company, not for you. Don't say "I have changed the procedure," but "the company has changed the procedure.
For example, you may want to say, "we have established a new procedure. Avoid jargon, unusual terms and made-up words unless they're the standard in your industry and you're sure everyone understands them. Ask yourself if every reader knows the meanings of every term you use.
Remove any terms that may confuse readers or define the terms the first time you use them.

Given two integers 'n' and 'sum', find count of all n digit numbers with sum of digits as 'sum'. Leading 0's are not counted as digits.
The idea is simple, we subtract all values from 0 to 9 from given sum and recur for sum minus that digit. Below is recursive formula.
handled explicitly as they are not counted as digits.
So our final count can be written as below.
Below is a simple recursive solution based on above recursive formula.
// countRec() for remaining digits.
# countRec() for remaining digits.
# This code is contributed by Nikita tiwari.
The time complexity of above solution is exponential. If we draw the complete recursion tree, we can observer that many subproblems are solved again and again. For example, if we start with n = 3 and sum = 10, we can reach n = 1, sum = 8, by considering digit sequences 1,1 or 2, 0.
Since same suproblems are called again, this problem has Overlapping Subprolems property. So min square sum problem has both properties (see this and this) of a dynamic programming problem.
Below is Memoization based the implementation.
// countRec() for remaining n.
# countRec() for remaining n.
Thanks to Gaurav Ahirwar for suggesting above solution.
We can easily count n digit numbers whose sum of digit equals to given sum by iterating all n digits and checking if current n digit number's sum is equal to given sum, if it is then we will start increment number by 9 until it reaches to number whose sum of digit's is greater than given sum, then again we will increment by 1 until we found another number with given sum.

Home > Alumnae/i & Friends > My Career Story > Ariana De Pina '11
Substance Abuse Counselor at Specialized Treatment Education Prevention Services (S.T.E.P.S)
Nova Southeastern University, Masters in Mental Health Counseling Psychology from
Pine Manor College, Psychology Major
Brockton High School, Brockton, MA
In her current role as a substance abuse counselor, she sees individual clients on a weekly basis and runs groups for residential clients. She is also responsible for diagnosing her clients and developing treatment plans. Ariana credits Pine Manor with providing me "the guidance and attention I needed to be able to figure out what my true goals were in life and not what others wanted me to do." Her career aspirations are to get her license in the state and in the future "to go back to school and get my Ph.D. in Clinical Counseling. I would like to open my own practice working with clients who primarily have substance abuse or trauma history."
How PMC Helped Me
Graduating in 2011 with a degree in psychology, Ariana was the second in her family to attend Pine Manor College. Ariana's older sister attended and graduated with a degree in biology. Following in her sister's footsteps, Ariana took full advantage of every opportunity at the college to engage in the community and further her career interests. She was a teaching assistant for Introduction to Psychology. Her instructor and advisor, Professor Ramirez, remembers how passionate Ariana was about the topics and her dedication to helping the students succeed. "The students clearly admired Ariana and wanted to emulate her."
Ariana was curious about people and this curiosity led her to explore many aspects of human behavior. To better understand the intricacies of the various disorders she was studying in Abnormal Psychology, Ariana focused her senior seminar paper on the self-esteem and self-regulation of individuals with antisocial personality disorder. Because of this interest in criminal justice, Ariana choose to do two internships in the court systems of Boston. For her exploratory internship, Ariana participated in the "Changing Lives Through Literature" program, which is a book discussion group for individuals on probation. She did her senior internship at the Roxbury District Court where she interviewed defendants new to the probation system and made home visits with the probation officer. Through this experience she learned that she wanted to pursue a degree in counseling psychology instead of forensic psychology.
Pine Manor is a small community in which each student is recognized as an individual and helped to realize their full potential. As Ariana said, "I would recommend Pine Manor due to the small classes, . . . and personalized attention given by each professor." The personalized attention given to students during their undergraduate studies at Pine Manor allows students to develop the tools and skills need to successfully navigate graduate school at large universities like Ariana attended. In a recent survey of Pine Manor's psychology graduates, those graduates who had or were attending graduate school stated that they felt well prepared for graduate school and that they were on equal if not higher footing than their graduate classmates.
