ANDREW SETTER (1777-1870)
MARGARET "PEGGY" SPENCE (1795-1868)
(Last Updated: June 09, 2016)
Andrew SETTER was born around 1777 in Westray, Orkney, Scotland, son of Margaret RENDALL and Thomas SETTER (b-1741).
Employed by the Hudson's Bay Company
In 1800 Andrews began his employ with the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) as a Labourer at York Factory on Hudson Bay.
** MORE ABOUT ANDREW SETTER in the HBC ARCHIVES
Although he was based at York, over the next 18 years Andrew made several voyages inland, most likely with William TOMISON (1739-1829) who was then the Chief Factor at York Factory (although he often resided inland).
Andrew and Margaret "Peggy" SPENCE
Around 1810 Andrew began a connubial relationship with Margaret "Peggy" SPENCE, daughter of Margaret Nestichio BATT & James SPENCE (1753-1795). ** MORE ABOUT JAMES SPENCE
Margaret "Peggy" SPENCE was born around 1795 at Buckingham House (see map below). Peggy's father, James SPENCE apparently died not long before she was born. Her mother and her three brothers were then left in the care of Chief Factor William TOMISON. In 1810 TOMISON retired home to Scotland.
It was around 1810 that son James was born (named after his grandfather). In 1813 daughter Margaret was born. In 1815 son George was born at Fort Ellice (on the Assiniboine River near Beaver Creek, an outpost of Brandon House).
Saskatchewan District
During the Outfit Year 1815-16 Andrew was stationed at the Paint River Post (also known as Fort Vermilion); located 15 km north of Marwayne, AB.
From 1816 to 1818 Andrew was based at Fort Edmonton. Daughter Isabella was born during this period.
Voyageur in the Upper Red River District
From 1819 to 1823 Andrew was a Steersman (voyageur) in the Upper Red River District.
Andrew & Margaret are Baptized and Wed by Reverend John WEST
Union of the North West Company with the Hudson's Bay Company
On Jan 20, 1821 Reverend John WEST (1778-1845) arrived at Brandon House on his first trip west of Red River. WEST was the first HBC clergyman in Rupert's Land (Assiniboia). He continued on to Fort Qu'Appelle, and on Jan 23 at Beaver Creek he baptized and married Andrew and Margaret. He then baptized their four children (James, Margaret, George and Isabella).
In 1821 the union of the North West Company (NWC) and the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) occurred, ending years of bitter rivalry for dominance of the fur trade in Western Canada. (Sir) George SIMPSON (1786-1860) became the Governor of Rupert's Land. After the merger, almost 1,300 employees lost their jobs since the single HBC organization that emerged had no need for most of the voyageurs and retired fur traders.
In January of 1822 daughter Elizabeth was born.
Andrew Retires to Red River
In 1823 Andrew (about 46 years old) retired from HBC service and he and his family became Red River settlers (St Andrews Parish).
In 1823 Reverend WEST departed Red River for good. His replacement was Reverend David JONES (1796-1844).
St Andrews Parish from Henry Hind's Map of 1857
In 1925 daughter Anne was born.
In 1826 teen-age daughter Margaret married George SETTER (1780-1868), an HBC Labourer from the Orkneys. (in 1829 and 1831 their daughters Nancy & Margaret were born at Brandon House and Qu'Appelle respectively). The fact that Margaret's husband was also a SETTER causes no end of grief to genealogists.
In the 1827 Red River Census James and his wife were recorded with a family consisting of two adult sons (James & George) and six young daughters. He had a house, barn and stable; four horses, eight cows and two oxen. He had two carts, a plough and harrow and a canoe. He had five acres under cultivation. This enumeration is problematic and confusing (too many young daughters; at least two were actually granddaughters).
In 1835 daughter Isabella married Joseph MONKMAN, half-breed son of Mary (Cree Indian) and James MONKMAN (1775-1865), an Englishman who worked for the HBC as a Seaman and fur trader.
Also in 1835 son George married Isabella KENNEDY, daughter of Aggatghas BEAR and Alexander KENNEDY (1781-1832). ** MORE ABOUT ALEXANDER KENNEDY
In 1836 eldest son James married Jane MORWICK in St Andrews, daughter of Sarah SABISTON and James MORWICK (1778-1865). ** MORE ABOUT JAMES MORWICK
In 1840 daughter Elizabeth married Robert MILLER (1802-1867), an HBC voyageur from the Orkneys.
Around 1842 daughter Anne married William SCOTT (1815-1874), another HBC voyageur from the Orkneys.
In 1853 son George re-married to Jessie CAMPBELL, daughter of Liza McGILLIVRAY and Colin CAMPBELL (1787-1853). ** MORE ABOUT COLIN CAMPBELL
In 1855 son Thomas Alexander married Isabella LOUTIT, daughter of Nancy (Indian) and Henry LOUTIT (b-c1790) from the Orkneys.
Around 1859 son John married Elizabeth GOWLER, daughter of Mary NEVILLE and Oliver GOWLER (1805-1865) from England.
In 1860 daughter Mary married William REED (1828-1910) from the Orkneys.
Daughter Catherine married a David ANDERSON of uncertain origins.
On Mar 2, 1868 Peggy died.
On Feb 18, 1870 Andrew SETTER died at Poplar Point.

We Have To Create It
When I look at my closest friends, it's easy to see why they're part of my innermost circle. Each one is conscious, joyful, funny, open, and utterly devoted to beauty. Whether it's the fragrance
of geraniums, the stitching on a blazer, or the way the light rests on a hardwood floor, all of my girls care
deeply about the sensual details of living. So when my friend Maureen (who has won a Governor General Award for her work with heritage buildings) told me about a new bakery designed by Bioi, I dropped everything. A beauty binge in the doldrums of March? Yes PLEASE! Since the morning was overcast, I offered to pick her up. "I might walk," she texted. "I love that about you," I texted back. And it's true. I do love that about her. Maureen's the kind of woman who connects to her environment by immersing herself in it. She mostly bikes or walks—getting the city under her skin and into her lungs—breathing life back onto the streets and into the neighbourhood. I really admire that. But me? Walk on a grey, chilly morning? No thank you. My action plan for the day involved a warm, cozy car. And thank goodness. Because "grey and chilly" turned to bone-cracking COLD. When I entered the bakery, Maureen was already inside, blue-lipped and shaking. We both burst out laughing. "I can't believe you walked!" "I know," she said, taking off her mitts and rubbing her hands together. "What was I thinking!" It was a rhetorical question. We both knew why she had walked an hour from Bankview all the way to the East Village. The past 2 years of her life have been filled with non-stop change and loss.
Maureen walks as a meditation, a ritual, a way to move forward in a time of disconnection and grief. Like me, she recently lost both her brother and father in close proximity. Our initiation into sorrow is the quiet bond between us. Beauty is our medicine. So we stood there, ensconced in the smell of bread and pastry, filling up our emotional reserves with as much joy and appreciation as possible.
"Look at the modern peg board!" "And the arrow-patterned floor tiles!" "And the choux pastry!" "And the roll cake! Oh, look at the ROLL CAKE!"
We stared at the spirals of chiffon, each curled around a raspberry gem. Just looking at them made us happy.
"They're beautiful, " I said. "But I'm having the quiche and a coffee."
Maureen ordered a baguette with a side of butter. I looked at it. A whole baguette. "I'm craving good French bread," she said. And then she told me how horrible the walk had been. And not just because of the cold, but because the city's core had changed in a way that made her cry. "It looks abandoned," she said. Garbage is piling up and no one's taking care of their planters." I felt a pang of distress. Alberta has suffered from one of the worst recessions it's ever seen and many people haven't been able to rise above all the gloom and despair. "This is what happens when we give up," I said, stirring some cream into my coffee. Because let's face it. It doesn't cost anything to sweep the sidewalk. People only let garbage pile up because they're caught in a sense of hopelessness and fear. I watched Maureen tear off a piece of baguette and spread butter onto it, her eyes closing as she took a bite. I thought of her stories of Paris—of all the good bread and whipped butter that made her deliriously happy. "Is that why you ordered the baguette?" I asked. "To bring Paris to here?" "Maybe," she said. "In Europe, it's just so much easier. You can't escape the beauty. There are layers upon layers of it. Even when things are bad, you're still surrounded by all the history and architecture and art and culture. She looked out to the grey street. "Here, everything's brown and ugly and barren. We have to search for beauty. We have to create it."
"We have to create it."
Her statement stunned me. Because she was absolutely right. In a time of relentless uncertainty, with ugliness everywhere, beauty can be our saving grace. It can soothe and nurture the soul, giving us a foothold in times of despair. It can remind us, in the dead of winter, that Spring is coming and that it always will. Which means it's our job to seek it out, and wherever possible, create it for ourselves and others. I looked at the scarf around Maureen's neck—a beautiful silk print in bright pink and happy green. My friend was refusing to become a victim of the weather, or the economy, or the never-ending stream of blah. Since the city couldn't give colour to her, she had given it to herself, and now she was spreading it everywhere she went. She was finding where she DID have a choice and was making an effort. Instead of giving up, she was creating beauty.
Sending you so much beauty and love,
PS. Maureen has her Masters in Environmental Design and is one of the co-founders of D.talks (a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the public understanding of art, architecture and design) You can learn more about her and her passion for neighbourhood planning by reading her blog, The Happy Urbanist (which was voted best blog by Fast Forward Magazine, 2011)
PSS. I helped Maureen eat the rest of her baguette and it was really delicious!

Strategy Goals
The Decree No.78 of 29/03/1423 AH by the Saudi Council of Ministers was issued to approve the regulation of the Saudi Post Corporation. The regulation stipulates in Article (2) that the Corporation shall advance postal services to a similar level of the services provided in the more developed countries through the following:
The Corporation shall operate on a commercial basis and shall have the flexibility and authorities enabling it to undertake its tasks and preparing it for privatization at a later stage.
The Corporation shall develop modern methods for providing postal services according to the international standards.
In pursuance of the above, the regulation granted the Corporation the legal personality and the independent financial liability and conferred on the Board of Directors thereof the widest powers to issue the financial, administrative and regulatory authorities and to have the flexibility required to overcome the obstacles to achieve such objectives.
To overcome the challenges, the Corporation developed a detailed strategic plan emanating from its following vision and mission:
To be an independently effective commercial postal operator with diverse areas of activity, operating on a commercial basis and providing high quality public services and competitive commercial products.
Providing integrated and innovative postal, financial and logistic services for enterprises and individuals, which contribute to the support of e-government and e-commerce, using the latest world technologies, the highest quality and excellence standards, and national qualified personnel.
The plan consists of three main areas:
First: Strategic structure of the Corporation (networks' structure).
Second: Development of business units.
Third: Development of the organizational structure and work methods.
The plan aims at achieving several objectives, particularly:
Developing the regulatory frameworks of the postal sector and an advanced postal operation system in the Kingdom.
Developing postal services provided by the Corporation and updating and developing the Corporation performance in the postal market, through developing and updating operations, promoting and diversifying the existing products, customer care, raising the service level, cooperating with strategic partners to develop the important products.
Expanding new, profitable, and significantly growing activities, products, and services.
The strategy of the Corporation is aimed at developing the strategic structure and updating and preparing a number of its departments to be independent business units which commercially operate and cooperate with each other to provide excellent postal service at competitive and profitable prices that achieve attractive returns. Each unit is considered as a service provider authorized by Saudi Post. Therefore, some units are transformed into independent companies wholly owned by the Corporation or jointly owned with the private sector under the supervision of the Corporation after being transformed into a holding company, establishing an authority to regulate the post operation and approving the postal system.
Accordingly, the main objectives, policies and implementation mechanisms were defined as per the following tables:

Academics have had a bad rap for their clothing choices. More than two decades ago fashion historian Valerie Steele scoffed that "academics may be the worst-dressed middle-class occupational group." Today this perception remains intact, as campus security – not known as the arbitrators of fashion and style – reveals they label academics Planet Corduroy.
It's not that all academics don't care about what they wear. But many of us feel pressurised to don a deliberate uniform. Choosing rumpled jackets and jumpers is our way of telling the world we're too focused on matters of the mind to care about clothes. The teachings of Descartes, not the runway, seemingly guide our decisions.
Female academics receive particular criticism for their dreary earth tones and boxy cuts but sexism requires them to trade sartorial flair for intellectual credibility. Fashion is associated with the frivolous, vain and "feminine". And what is "feminine" is deemed of less value to the world.
As a queer scholar, I know the advantages of wearing some form of masculine clothing. Adhering to a uniform of understated blazers and button-down shirts can shield marginalised, "different" academics from the discrimination that often discounts or diminishes their ideas and contributions.
By suppressing our style, we think we're demonstrating our intellectual worthiness. But instead we're giving in to the worry of being perceived as anti-academic. We reinforce the assumption that fashion, and all that it represents, is frivolous. And worse, we embody uniformity when what we value as scholars is creativity, uniqueness and originality.
From how the cotton that made our shirts was grown to who spun it, the manufacture of our clothes influences people and the planet. I buy my jackets from a second-hand store because I know they will have a new life in my wardrobe rather than in landfill.
When buying new clothes, I'll check the ethical rating of the brand and see if its production was associated with child labour. Whether you're in international development, gender studies, environmental sciences or another field, issues related to fashion production intersect, providing us with the opportunity to discuss how our clothing links with the topics we teach.
Academics in the humanities and social sciences often engage with questions of identity. What we wear is a concrete expression of how identity is both individual and diverse and our clothes bring theories about self-definition to life.
I'll wear a navy blazer and grey tie one day and a black leather jacket and black kilt the next. Dressing in ways that challenge expectations on campus can fill me with anxiety. But what gives me the confidence to shun norms in favour of floral prints and sequenced mesh is the belief that my outfits will not only teach students about the performance of identity but also empower them to be themselves.
Most designers aren't just making clothes to protect us from the sun and snow but are sharing their thoughts about the world. I own items of clothing from Walé Oyéjidé who incorporates motifs from his African heritage, and Wear Your Label which embroiders slogans challenging the stigma of metal health.
By discovering the artistic vision behind our clothes, we can use them to tell stories. Whether queuing for a coffee or chairing a seminar, what we wear can turn into a conversation starter about the world.
Fashion doesn't only express who you are to others but also to yourself. Psychologists have coined the term "enclothed cognition" to describe how clothing alters the mood and mindset of its wearers. When I step into a faculty meeting in my purple velvet knee-length coat, I feel empowered, poised and ready to assert my opinions. The symbolic meaning of clothes combined with how they make us feel can influence whether or not we are ready to deliver a compelling lecture.
So tomorrow morning, when you reach inside your closet and choose an outfit for the day, I encourage you to have fun with fashion and ask yourself: how can the clothes I wear introduce new ways of thinking into the academy and the world?

5 Couples On How They Got Over The First Fight

5 Couples On Their First Fight – & How They Got Over It
Sadhbh O'Sullivan
Photo by Andrew Octavian Sasmita/Eyeem.
We all know that nothing in this world is certain except death and taxes. But to that you could easily add arguing. Whether you are someone who shies away from confrontation or someone who loves it, arguing with other people at some point in your life is inescapable and can happen for any reason. And while the occasional spat with a stranger over the last bag of spinach in Tesco can be chalked up to a stressful day at work, arguing with the people you love can be much more fraught, more emotional and, often, more stupid.
When you begin a new romantic relationship, the idea of fighting with the person you're falling in love with feels so unfathomable and painful that you might assume it can't or shouldn't happen. But having that first fight, whether it's about the washing up or who ignored whom at the bus stop, is by no means a make-or-break moment. In fact, research suggests that couples who argue effectively are 10 times more likely to have a happy relationship than those who sweep difficulties under the carpet.
Whether or not they ultimately stayed together, these stories about first arguments show that building a life together requires give and take, and that listening and learning from each other is key. Who knew? At least you can get some funny anecdotes along the way, too.

With the economy being what it is companies are continually looking for ways to save money. Companies these days often look at the different departments within the company structure to find out if there's any fat that can be trimmed from those departments. One department that often needs reorganizing and trimming is the accounting/bookkeeping department.
I'm often contacted by businesses who want to outsource their Orange County bookkeeping. By hiring someone like me these companies save quite a bit of time and quite a bit of money. In addition to this there are also a number of other benefits that come along with hiring outsourced orange county bookkeeper.
A Focus On Core Activities – This is one of the most important reasons why outsourcing to an Orange County bookkeeper has become so popular among small and medium-sized businesses. Business owners that do this will have time to focus on developing the business without having to be bothered by the things that are not in their line of expertise such as bookkeeping.
A Lot Less Paperwork – Outsourcing your bookkeeping to an Orange County bookkeeper means there'll be more computerized works and plenty of paper saving. This saves a business a lot of money by negating the need for paper.
Reduce Administrative Burdens – When you outsource your bookkeeping to an Orange County bookkeeper there will be no need to spend revenues on the hiring and training of potential bookkeeping employees. Business owners also avoid the hassles of government authorities related to employees and this also places sole responsibility on the hired Orange County bookkeeper.
Extra Office Space – When you don't have to employ a part-time or full-time bookkeeping staff this frees up a large area within an office that can then be used for other departments, for storage, or even as a meeting place for clients.
Less Year End Issues – Many times a business will end up paying quite a bit of overtime for last-minute rush work as tax deadlines loom. When you outsource bookkeeping to an Orange County bookkeeper they generally work on a daily basis which eliminates pending work issues.

Tax avoidance Tax audits
RenTech's billion-dollar tax cloud darkens after IRS ruling
By Zachary R. Mider November 13, 2019, 1:09 p.m. EST 4 Min Read
A little-noticed decision by the Internal Revenue Service's appeals unit may spell trouble for legendary investor Jim Simons, who's embroiled in a multibillion-dollar tax dispute with the agency.
Reviewing the audit of an investment manager in Connecticut, the IRS Office of Appeals rejected a tax-avoidance maneuver involving so-called basket options. That's the type of transaction at the heart of a separate, larger case involving Simons's Renaissance Technologies hedge fund. The decision, made public in a court filing in May, could offer a preview of the tax agency's reasoning in the Renaissance case.
The Renaissance dispute is one of the largest ever handled by the IRS, potentially involving about $6.8 billion in back taxes, according to an estimate by U.S. Senate investigators. The list of those who would probably foot the bill includes Simons, the billionaire Renaissance founder dubbed "The Man Who Solved the Market" in a book published this month, and Robert Mercer, a former co-chief executive officer of the firm and a backer of President Donald Trump.
Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for Renaissance, declined to comment.
Basket options
In a confidential decision in December, the IRS held that GWA, a Hartford, Connecticut-based company run by hedge fund pioneer George A. Weiss, had under-reported ordinary income in 2009 and 2010 by a total of $527 million through its use of basket options. The decision wasn't made public until Weiss challenged the action in U.S. Tax Court this year. That case is pending.
Weiss's firm or its investors could face a tax bill of more than $100 million if they lose, based on the amount of income involved and tax-rate estimates used in the Senate report. They may also face interest and a 20 percent accuracy penalty. Sheri Dillon, a lawyer for Weiss, declined to comment.
The Weiss case is almost identical to the one involving East Setauket, New York-based Renaissance, arguably the most successful hedge fund in history. Both firms bought basket options from Deutsche Bank AG and claimed that the devices lowered the tax rate on some of their profits. Both spent years wrangling with IRS auditors before taking their cases to the agency's Office of Appeals. It's that office that issued the final determination against Weiss in December.
The appeals office has more latitude than IRS auditors to negotiate settlements. Renaissance told investors in December that it was "exploring possible ways to conclude this dispute" with the appeals office, including a settlement. But the case was still unresolved as recently as March, according to an update sent that month. By law, the IRS is prohibited from disclosing information about specific taxpayer audits.
Medallion Fund
Over more than a decade, Renaissance used basket options sold by Deutsche Bank and Barclays Plc to shelter some $34 billion of income in its flagship Medallion Fund, cutting the rate paid by investors by as much as 20 percentage points, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations concluded in a 2014 report. Medallion is owned almost exclusively by Renaissance employees.
Rather than owning securities directly and booking gains and losses from trading activity, RenTech and GWA would buy an option from a bank tied to the value of a securities portfolio it held. The funds would then direct the bank to buy and sell securities in the portfolio.
The funds treated any profit on options held for more than a year as long-term capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than the short-term capital gains that would have been generated by owning the portfolio directly.
Deutsche Bank sold such options to at least 13 hedge funds during the late 1990s and early 2000s, including GWA and Renaissance, according to the Senate report. It's unclear how many of these funds were audited by the IRS. Weiss's case appears to be the first dispute involving the options to proceed to court.
Deutsche Bank stopped selling basket options that offered a tax benefit after the IRS declared in a 2010 memo that it considered them abusive. Barclays stopped in 2013.
Weiss founded one of the country's first market-neutral hedge funds and is known for trading utility stocks. His GWA owns Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers, which manages $2.7 billion.
In the Tax Court case, Weiss argues that the options had business purposes beyond tax savings: They offered more leverage than was available in a typical brokerage arrangement, while at the same time limiting the firm's risk of loss.
"The Tax Court will have to parse through these arguments and determine whether these option contracts have sufficient economic significance to be respected for federal tax purposes, or whether they should be disregarded as abusive transactions," the law firm Mayer Brown LLP wrote in a note to clients last month. Renaissance has made similar arguments in defense of its transactions.
Weiss is represented by a team from Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP that includes Dillon and William F. Nelson, a former IRS chief counsel. Dillon and Nelson have long served as tax counsel to the Trump Organization, the president's real estate business.

Uber wins London license to avoid ban
Uber Technologies Inc won a probationary license to operate in London on Tuesday in a partial victory for its new chief executive after it made changes to ease strained relations with city authorities.
The new license was subject to strict conditions, however, and came with a warning to prove it had changed to retain its right to operate in London, the heart of its biggest European market.
Uber overhauled its policies and personnel in Britain after Transport for London (TfL) refused to renew its license in September for failings in its approach to reporting serious criminal offenses and background checks on drivers.
The ruling has been a test of Uber's new senior management, with Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi, who took charge the month before TfL's decision, pledging to "make things right" in London.
Judge Emma Arbuthnot said that changes made by its London subsidiary in light of the ruling were sufficient for Uber to be considered "fit and proper" to operate as she granted a 15-month "probationary" license.
The license is much shorter than the five-year license it was denied in September, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan was clear that the court ruling was no carte blanche for Uber in London.
"I believe everyone must play by the same rules, no matter how big or powerful they are," he said in a statement.
"Uber has been put on probation – their 15-month license has a clear set of conditions that TfL will thoroughly monitor and enforce."
TfL said it was considering the court's decision and that the conditions would let it take action if Uber failed to meet standards.
The license conditions for Uber London Limited (ULL) include implementing a new governance structure, giving TfL notice of what Uber is doing in areas that may be a cause of concern, reporting safety related complaints and having an independent assurance audit report every six months.
ULL must also be notified by its parent firm of any matters that could be relevant to its obligations as an operator.
With backers including Goldman Sachs and BlackRock and valued at more than 70 billion US dollars, Uber has faced protests, bans and restrictions around the world as it challenges traditional taxi operators, angering some unions.
Uber, which has about 45,000 drivers in London, introduced several new initiatives in response to the ruling, including 24/7 telephone support and the proactive reporting of serious incidents to police. It has also changed senior management in Britain, though it was allowed to continue operating in London while the appeal process was ongoing.
Uber's work with London authorities is part of a broader shift by the company to engage with regulators rather than bulldoze them. It has also started discussions with regulators in New York City about a cap on the number of cars the service is allowed, which previous chief executive Travis Kalanick had resisted.
Mayor Khan said that as a result of the initial London ruling, "Uber has been forced to overhaul the way it operates not just in London but across the world."

Cops target mystery man to solve Deen disappearance
Published:Thursday | March 19, 2020 | 12:00 AMAndre Williams/Staff Reporter
Rudolph Brown/Photographer
Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey (right) discusses details of the Jasmine Deen disappearance with Assistant Commissioner of Police Clinton Laing during a press conference at the NCB Towers on Wednesday.
The person of interest in the Jasmine Deen disappearance.
Three weeks after the disappearance of visually impaired University of the West Indies (UWI) student Jasmine Deen, investigators are banking on the photo of a man taken about 30 minutes before her final trace as crucial to cracking the case.
The unidentified man, who appears to be inside an ATM at 12:01 a.m. on February 28, has since been listed by investigators at the Major Investigation Division (MID) as a person of interest in a case that, according to Dennis Brooks, senior communications strategist in the Jamaica Constabulary Force, has captured the "emotions and interest" of everyone in Jamaica.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey revealed that the high national profile of the case caused it to be transferred from the Area Four police to MID.
The police said that they have declined to disclose other sensitive information unearthed.
The probe is being jointly undertaken with the Communication Forensic and Cybercrime Division, The Gleaner understands.
The hunt for the award-winning first-year student carried the police far and wide, with visits to Greenvale, Manchester; west Kingston; downtown Kingston; Papine, Bull Bay, August Town, and Seaview Gardens, St Andrew; as well as Ocho Rios, St Ann.
"These searches proved futile ... ," Bailey told journalists at a press conference at the NCB Towers on Wednesday.
The police said they had collected statements from a security guard and his common-law wife, who live in Harbour View, and seized and processed a cell phone and motor car belonging to the couple.
Bailey revealed that the investigation has been hampered by prank calls.
Lloyd Deen, Jasmine's father, filed a missing person report with the police on February 28 after she did not show up at home the night before.
According to investigators, Deen, who lived on campus during her first semester, opted since January to commute to The UWI, Mona, from her home every Thursday because she could not afford campus boarding.
The police are in possession of CCTV footage that shows Jasmine boarding a taxi at the Irvin Hall gate of the St Andrew-based university some time before 10 p.m. on Thursday, February 27.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness is among high-profile individuals who have publicly called on Jamaicans to join in efforts to locate Jasmine.
The younger Deen, 22, is of brown complexion, slim build, and is about 4 feet six inches tall.
A reward of $350,000 is being offered by Crime Stop.

'See you in 30 days' Felix, who was kicked out as soon as he came, remains for a long time before returning
We have to wait a month to see Joao Felix again.
Chelsea lost 1-2 to Fulham in the 7th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Craven Cottage in London, England on the 13th at 5:00 am (Korean time). With this, Chelsea remained in 10th place with 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses (25 points).
Chelsea started with a 3-5-2 formation. Kai Havertz, Joao Felix, Louis Hall, Mateo Kovacic, Denis Zaccaria, Mason Mount, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kalidou Koulibaly, Thiago Silva, Trevo Chalova and Kepa Arrizabalaga sortied.
What stands out is the selection of Felix. Felix was loaned to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in the transfer window this winter. According to European transfer market expert Fabricio Romano, the rent is 11 million euros (about 14.8 billion won) and the total weekly wage is 6.75 million euros (about 9.1 billion won). Chelsea agreed to pay 100% of Felix's wages. 카지노사이트
Felix took a lively move. He worked
But there was a tee in the jade. Felix was sent off in the 13th minute for a rough tackle. It was a fatal scene in a 1-1 situation. Chelsea eventually lost with Carlos Vinicius conceding the winning goal in the 28th minute of the second half.
Now we have to wait until mid-February to see Felix. Felix will not be able to play for 3 games as he was sent off. Chelsea face off against Crystal Palace (January 15), Liverpool (January 21) and Fulham (February 4) before meeting West Ham United on February 11th. Only then can the return match be played.
The British 'Sports Bible' said, "Felix has to wait 30 days to play for Chelsea. The next match will be against West Ham."
Felix's departure is very painful because it is Chelsea with a line injury in the attack. Currently on the injured list are Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja and Christian Pulisic. In the continuous emptiness, I faced another bad news.
hard on offensive work such as bold shooting, rushing to the gate, and breaking through the side. In addition, it became the center of Chelsea's attack, including 5 shots (4 effective), 1 key pass, and 2 successful dribbles.

ALLARD have supercharged and turbocharged many Land Rover models, both petrol and diesel engined, going back as far as 1959 more than 20 years before the Land Rover factory introduced turbocharged engines!
We now concentrate on special tuning Land Rover Turbo Diesels and have developed a range of conversions, based around an uprated intercooler system. We believe that this is the most efficient and cost effective way of increasing performance without significantly increasing mechanical or thermal loads on the engine. In this way power and torque can be increased by upto 22%.
Substantially more power and torque can be achieved by installing an uprated special build turbocharger, running at a higher boost pressure, together with further modifications to the fuel pump, manifolding and intercooler system.
We can now install a water to air intercooler system (charge cooler) as well as the air to air type, to form a very effective and unusual two-stage intercooler layout, with upto 150 b.h.p. and 260 lb.ft. power and torque output, giving a 35% increase on the standard figures, with only a small penalty in fuel consumption.
These conversions are fully tested and carefully engineered. Because we do not substantially increase engine loads, by offsetting any increase in boost pressure with reduced air temperature and also by increasing volumetric efficiency without resorting to increased RPM, it is not necessary to carry out costly internal engine modifications, which can lead to long-term reliability problems. By having a range of conversions, we are able to tailor each more closely to every customers requirements whether it be for towing, off-road or fast motorway use.
Our intercooler systems substantially improve performance with optimum thermal efficiency and fuel consumption, so smoke emissions are low and any additional loads on the engine are very small.
Land Rover Special tuning conversions, based on uprated intercooler systems, feature strongly in our range of conversions for all turbocharged Land Rovers.
PHASE 2: Discovery - Defender - Range Rover 200 and 300 TDI.
The Allard Phase 2 intercooler conversion will provide your Land Rover with the unique combination of up to 25% more power and torque and up to 15% improvement in fuel consumption (in economy mode).
There is substantial improvement in torque from only 1700 rpm, so low speed pickup is transformed. Torque is increased from 195 lb.ft to over 225 lb.ft at 2000 rpm and power on average increases from 110 bhp to over 132 bhp at only 3750 rpm.
Because of the very high thermal efficiency of our large intercooler, the thermal loads on the engine are reduced and because we do not need to increase boost pressure to obtain these benefits, other increased loads on the engine are minimal. All our Phase 2 conversions have been thoroughly rolling road and smoke tested.
PHASE 2:Discovery - Defender - Range Rover 200 and 300 TDI.
With air conditioned vehicles we have developed a two-stage intercooler system, as this allows us to leave the air conditioning unmodified and makes the installation more straightforward. We retain the original intercooler and link the new first stage intercooler into it, with aluminium pipework and silicone hoses. The new cooler is mounted below the radiator. Power and torque figures are close to those of the normal Phase 2 system.
PHASE 3: Discovery - Defender - Range Rover 200 and 300 TDI.
This system is as for the Phase 2 conversion, but includes in addition an uprated turbocharger and a boost control valve to allow maximum boost to be raised to 1.25 bar and to match the higher airflow of the improved intercooler system. The normal 16-row intercooler can be replaced by an even larger upto 24-row intercooler.
PHASE 4 Discovery - Defender - Range Rover 200 and 300 TDI.
Conversions are made to order, for almost any engine/vehicle combination, petrol or diesel, turbocharged or supercharged.
These conversions are the most effective way of boosting the performance of your turbo diesel without compromising engine reliability or significantly increasing fuel consumption.

Introduction: Dravet syndrome (DS) is characterized by severe infant-onset myoclonic epilepsy with delayed psychomotor development and increased premature mortality. The seizures triggered by fire have been gradually decreased over time, and finally they start to occur without fever at the age of 2–3 years. Along with its initiation of myoclonic seizures in the early period, other types such as atypical absence, versive, and complex partial seizures occur between 1 and 4 years of age. Case Report: A 3-year-old male patient with refractory epilepsy and neuromotor developmental retardation was admitted to our clinic. The patient initially had seizures in the afebrile period, when he was 4 months old, and he had a total of five seizures by the age of 1 year. Neuromotor developmental retardation developed over time in patients with normal neuromotor development in the early stages of his life. His cranial magnetic resonance imaging and metabolic test findings were normal. The SCN1A mutation was investigated, and a new variant mutation of SCN1A, homozygous (p.Y1599Ffs*19-c.4796delA) was detected. The patient's family was also screened and this new mutation was detected as heterozygous mutation. The patient had hepatomegaly. The etiology of hepatomegaly was investigated but no cause was found. Conclusion: Variant mutations of DS should be kept in mind and diagnostic genetic testing should be done in patients with neuromotor developmental retardation starting with afebrile seizures. In DS, hepatomegaly is not an expected condition. Maybe this new mutation might have caused hepatomegaly.

Dravet syndrome (DS), which is classified as a type of childhood epileptic syndromes, was first described by Charlotte Dravet in 1978. Its prevalence has been estimated to be 0.5–1 in 20,000 newborns.[1] Although the first seizures are triggered by febrile illnesses, vaccinations, and hot water baths during infancy, they may also begin with afebrile seizures.[1] The seizures triggered by fever have been gradually decreased over time, and finally they start to occur without fever at the ages of 2–3 years. Along with its initiation of myoclonic seizures in the early period, other types such as atypical absence, versive, and complex partial seizures occur between 1 and 4 years of age.[2]
The cognitive functions and behaviors of the patients in whom neurological development is appropriate with the age in the early period begin to be affected by the frequency of seizures.[2] Approximately 60% of the affected children have ataxia, whereas 20% have pyramidal findings. Electroencephalography (EEG) obtained during the interictal period is usually normal within the first year, although rare spontaneous spikes and wave discharges or those triggered by the light stimuli can be seen. Epileptiform EEG findings usually appear at the age of 2–3 years.[3] Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and metabolic tests usually produce normal results.[3],[4] The prognosis is usually poor, whereas frequent seizures and status attacks affect cognitive development adversely. During the follow-up, the seizure pattern generally changed as myoclonic and focal onset impaired awareness seizures to the generalized tonic–clonic seizures and focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures detected in video-EEG records.[5]
It has been thought that genetic factors play an important role in DS. Epilepsy or the history of seizure is detected in 25%–64.4% of the families. Monozygotic twins have been shown to be affected, and siblings have similar symptoms.[6] Mutations in the SCN1A gene are detected in 30%–80% of cases, and there are approximately 1000 variants of SCN1A. Other than SCN1A, other mutations in the GABRG2, SCN1B, GABRA1, STXBP1, PCDH19, and CHD2 are also common.[6]
Herein, we report a novel mutation in the SCN1A gene associated with the clinical vignette of DS in a pediatric case with seizures that started during infancy.
A 3-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic due to epileptic seizures resistant to antiepileptic drug treatment. The initial seizures started as left focal myoclonic type during afebrile period, when he was 4 months old. His EEG findings were normal and he had myoclonic seizures accompanied by the loss of consciousness as sudden dullness, lapse in attention, and vacant stare during the first year of life. His afebrile seizures during the follow-up frequently recurred throughout the febrile period. During the follow-up, the developmental stages were normal within the first year, his development slowed down and regressed. The seizures were unable to be controlled and oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid, and levetiracetam were added to the current phenobarbital treatment (before DS is diagnosed). Despite all efforts, seizures continued to occur frequently.
On physical examination, meaningless word repetitions and hand stereotypic movements were observed, whereas there was no verbal cooperation appropriate with his age. The patient had hepatomegaly. The etiology of hepatomegaly was investigated—except liver biopsy—but no cause was found. On neurological examination, there was no finding, except for ataxic walking without support, whereas other system examinations were normal. Urine blood amino acids, tandem mass spectrometry (MS) results, urine organic acids, and cranial MRI findings were normal. Repeated EEG showed frequent repetitive generalized spike-slow waves and multiple spike-slow wave activities. His antiepileptic treatment was modified as valproic acid, topiramate, and clobazam, and the seizures reduced by more than 50%. A previously unidentified (p.Y1599Ffs*19-c.4796delA) [Figure 1] homozygous mutation was detected in the SCN1A, as there was resistant epilepsy, neuromotor developmental retardation, and regression during this period. The patient's family (siblings and parents) was also screened, and this new mutation was detected as heterozygous mutation with both parents. This mutation has been evaluated as a cause of the disease because of mutation tester evaluation and frame shift by genetic doctors.
Figure 1: SCN1A mutation's figure
Screening for genetic analysis was performed using a next-generation sequencing kit (Nextera V2). Before the application, polymerase chain reaction amplification and deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation were conducted, and the genetic material was analyzed by the following workflow:
In DS, seizures often start under 1 year of age, whereas the clinical findings usually start under 5 years of age.[1] The initial febrile seizures are accompanied by afebrile-resistant seizures and they are characterized by neurological regression.[2] In our case, he had afebrile clinical seizures, and febrile seizures (with high body temperature [>37.5°C] related with infection) were occasionally accompanied by fever and antiepileptic treatment–resistant seizures, starting when he was 4 months old, and he was diagnosed with DS.
The similarity of the clinical course with that of DS and the onset of afebrile seizures in the early infancy may be a finding associated with the novel mutation. As new cases of this novel mutation are defined over time, the onset of afebrile seizures may be significant. In DS cases, EEG obtained during the interictal period is usually normal within the first year, whereas the occasional spike wave discharges, which appear spontaneously or those triggered by a light stimulus, can be seen, although rare.[3] Similarly, the epileptic abnormalities were detected in the follow-up EEGs, although the initial EEG findings were normal in our case.
Cranial MRI and metabolic test results of DS cases are usually normal.[5] The mental development pauses and regresses within the years, and the mental retardation, then, develops overtime.[2] Although the cranial MRI and metabolic evaluation and the development stages of the life within the 1 year of age were normal in our case, frequently recurrent seizures and neurological regression developed overtime.
Several studies have shown that DS is accompanied by resistant seizures, and multiple antiepileptic administration is required.[7] Valproic acid and clobazam are the most effective medications to control seizures in DS, whereas the addition of stiripentol, a new antiepileptic drug, to the therapy has been reported to reduce the frequency and severity of the seizures in the early phase. In addition, medications, such as carbamazepine and phenytoin, have been shown to exacerbate the seizures.[8] Therefore, the clinical distinction for choosing the most appropriate treatment is of utmost importance in terms of increasing the treatment success. Despite the multiple antiepileptic drug therapy, our case had resistant seizures. We reduced the frequency of the seizures by modifying the treatment, including valproic acid, clobazam, and topiramate.
The most common mutation in DS is SCN1A, and this mutation is known to have about 1000 variants.[4] In our case, we detected a novel mutation of SCN1A (p.Y1599Ffs*19-c.4796delA), which would contribute to the literature. However, a higher number of cases are needed to identify the phenotypic features of this mutation. The patient had hepatomegaly. The etiology of hepatomegaly was investigated but no cause was found. In DS, hepatomegaly is not an expected condition. Maybe this new mutation might have caused hepatomegaly.
In conclusion, DS is an epileptic syndrome with poor prognosis, which begins with recurrent febrile seizures and continues with persistent seizures and severe neuromotor developmental retardation. In addition to this novel mutation-associated DS, hepatomegaly was thought to develop. However, the cases except for typical clinical course should be also kept in mind. It is extremely important that these cases should be identified to tailor an effective antiepileptic treatment.

TV Brian VanHooker July 25, 2020
That Time I Pitched Regis Philbin a TV Show in the Lobby of Equinox
The TV legend died today at age 88, and from my one meeting with the guy, he was everything you'd hope he'd be — and more
The date was March 1, 2016 and the four of us were sitting in the lobby of an Uptown Manhattan apartment building, hoping that we didn't get the times mixed up for our meeting. It was me, my writing partner Steve Quistgaard, our manager Justin Baez and Barry Bradford, an actor and a personal friend of the man we were waiting for, who was now running more than 30 minutes late. There was no way we could have missed him either. He was none other than the imitable — and highly excitable (I was half expecting him to announce himself to the whole lobby upon entry) — Regis Philbin, who even at 84, still looked pretty much exactly as he had when he hosted Who Wants to Be a Millionaire more than a decade earlier.
Barry had been friends with Regis for about 10 years, and even appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly in 2010. Meanwhile, both Steve and I were sweating profusely as we waited on the lobby couch, not only because we'd never pitched a TV show to anyone before — much less to a TV legend — but also because of the nature of what we were pitching. It was a rather raunchy, self-parody of Regis' real persona, and we were praying that he'd be open to laughing at himself.
But when it reached almost an hour of waiting, we began to worry that the meeting wouldn't happen at all. Barry kept checking in with the doorman, who, in turn, kept calling up to Joy, Regis' beloved wife. Eventually, we found out that he was still at the Equinox next door, doing his daily routine on the treadmill and lifting weights. We were told to head over there and talk to him in that lobby instead.
Within a couple minutes of our arrival, Regis came out in his gym shorts and a sleeveless shirt, wearing a big pair of Nikes. We exchanged introductions and all sat down. Right away, Regis broke the ice by saying, "Alright, what do ya got for Regis!?!?" Still nervous, I started by explaining, "We want you to play a character named Chip Turner, an out-of-work game-show host who was on TV for decades and is still a beloved television personality."
"This is starting to sound familiar," Regis cracked.
He was, from start to finish, exactly the guy that you saw on TV — gregarious, lovable and constantly breaking balls ("I don't think you guys like Regis very much!" he chimed in when we broke down exactly how we wanted him to humorously debase himself). Most surprising though, he was game. Game for the dirty jokes. Game for the humiliation. And game for all the mocking. Still, we were gingerly approaching one joke, fearing that it might tank the good vibes. "In the pilot," we explained to him, "you have to eat a dead rat."
"Is that it?" he responded immediately, easing the tension once more. "Can we go darker? Can I kill someone?"
He liked what we had for him enough that he told us was ready to go right then, saying with his trademark exuberance, "Okay, when do we get started?"
To make sure he wasn't just being polite (or breaking those aforementioned balls), Justin confirmed with him one last time: "So you're saying we can tell people that you're attached to this project and use your name to push it forward?"
To which Regis replied, "What — are you hard of hearing? I'm ready to do this now!"
Alas, it would never come to be. After a year of pitching this outlandish mockumentary starring Regis Philbin to a variety of outlets, Regis dropped out. At that point, it was less than a month after the passing of his close friend Don Rickles, who Regis had been touring with at the time. It seems that once Rickles died, Regis really was retired and didn't have much interest in big projects anymore, much less peddling in our brand of subversive gross-out humor.
Eventually, we found a new Chip in Seinfeld's John O'Hurley, who was equally open to poking fun at himself (and to pretending to eat a dead rat). In the summer of 2018, we filmed a pilot for The Tramp, and in the closing credits, we made sure to offer a "special thanks" to Regis Philbin.
Rest in peace, Reege. It was an honor that you were willing to spend 15 minutes putting up with our bullshit.

The Battle of Beersheba, Palestine, 31 October 1917, "Put Grant straight at it."
Topic: BatzP - Beersheba
Palestine, 31 October 1917
"Put Grant straight at it."
Did Chauvel say to Grant: "Put Grant straight at it." ?
After the Great War, when all the stories were being sorted out and catalogued, one of the more enduring scenes of the Sinai and Palestine campaigns is the order given by General Chauvel to Brigadier General Grant to commence the famous charge at Beersheba.
In Gullett, HS, The Australian Imperial Force in Sinai and Palestine, 1914–1918 (10th edition, 1941) Official Histories – First World War, Volume VII, the story is told at p. 393:
"There was a brief but tense discussion, in which Fitzgerald and Grant pleaded for the honour of the galloping attack which was clearly in Chauvel's mind. FitzGerald's yeomanry had their swords and were close behind Chauvel's headquarters; Grant's Australians had only their rifles and bayonets, but they were nearer Beersheba. After a moment's thought, Chauvel gave the lead to the light horsemen. "Put Grant straight at it," was his terse command to Hodgson; and Grant, swinging on to his horse, galloped away to prepare and assemble his regiments."
See: Gullett account about the fall of Beersheba
A couple years later, when the British Official War History of the Sinai and Palestine campaign was written, the story is somewhat changed. It is no longer in the body of the text. In a footnote, a difference of opinion is aired leaving it up to the reader to ascertain if these words were indeed said as reported in Gullett.
Falls, C.; MacMunn, G.; and, Becke, AF, Military operations: Egypt and Palestine, (London 1930), Footnote p. 58:
"Australian Official History," p. 393. The records are lacking in Information here. At 3.30 p.m. General Chauvel sent or message to the Australian Mounted Division ordering it to attack Beersheba with one brigade, but without mention of mounted action. It is General Chauvel 's recollection that he gave no orders to Br.-General Grant, but spoke only to Major-General Hodgson. B.-General Grant, however, states that Major-General Hodgson took him to the corps commander, who directed him to "take the town before dark," without giving him instructions as to how the attack was to be carried out, and that he himself was therefore solely responsible for the mounted charge.
See: British Official War History account about the fall of Beersheba
This particular situation arose as a consequence of Falls receiving two contradictory letters, one from Chauvel and the other from Grant.
The Chauvel Letter:
General Chauvel's letter to Dr Bean
The transcription:
Dear Bean,
Your letter of the 31st July re Grant's comments on the Beersheba Chapter of the Official History of the Palestine Campaign. I did not personally give any orders to Grant. He got his orders from Hodgson. Mounted action was certainly contemplated when I discussed the matter with Hodgson before giving him his orders. As a matter of fact there was little time for anything else. I remember distinctly Fitzgerald, who was present at the discussion, presenting the claims of this Brigade because they were armed with the sword whilst Grant's was not. I told Hodgson to put in Grant as his Brigade ought to have been assembled much quicker that Fitzgerald's. Both were in Corps Reserve but were much scattered on account of hostile aircraft attack.
Harry Chauvel
Chauvel is quite unequivocal about his memory when he states in this letter: "I did not personally give any orders to Grant."
In contrast, Grant tells a different story, the one which appeared in Gullett's book.
The Grant Letter:
General Grant's letter to Dr Bean
I had been watching the progress of the attack for some hours from a point near the Corps Headquarters when General Hodgson came to me at 4 p.m. and said:
"It is your turn to go in Grant. Come and see the Corps Commander."
We then went to the latter. General Chauvel said:
"Go right in and take the town before dark", and indicated the direction of the attack.
The BGGS (General Howard Vyse) then told me to move on the left of the A & NZ Mounted Division which was near the road from Beersheba to Khasim Zanna.
No instructions were given me how the attack was to be made.
From the movement of the enemy troops, I formed the opinion that the was then fighting a delaying action and would reture under cover of darkness after destroying the wells. I therefore ordered a mounted charge to smash through the defence and prevent this. I was solely responsible for the mounted charge, and it was due to my own initiative.
Grant is also unequivocal about his memory when he states in this letter that Chauvel said to him directly and personally: "Go right in and take the town before dark."
This is the only evidence we have of these two conflicting stories. While no one who was there is still alive to contest the account, and this particular note is here only to put the facts on the table rather than make a case, for the moment, as Falls has done, it is up to the readers to make their own minds up on this matter.
