New research finds it was a LACK of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that led to climate change in ancient times
(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Southampton have found ancient evidence suggesting that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere affected climate conditions approximately a hundred million years ago, but these are not the results that modern day climatologists want to hear. Modern climate change studies desperately want to correlate rising carbon dioxide levels with "climate change." However, it was a lack of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that led to sweeping temperature changes about a million years ago.
The international research team used an "Earth system" model along with geochemical measurements to pinpoint changes in continental ice sheets. This narrowed in on a timeframe when the Earth experienced extreme dips in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. These drops in CO2 coincided with glacial intervals that brought about extremely cold climatic conditions. The conditions lasted around 400,000 years in what is known as the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT) period.
The researchers came across the findings when they discovered abnormal abruptions in the Earth's Milkovitch Cycles which cycle naturally every 40,000 years. During naturally-occurring Milkovitch Cycles, ice ages are part of a normal cycle caused by regular changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun. These natural cycles are also influenced by the way Earth spins on its axis in relation to the gravitational pull of other planets. Normally these cycles are predictable. The celestial changes cause climate to cycle from frigid glacial intervals where continental ice covers most of North America and Europe, to warm interglacial climates that free up ice in Europe and North America.
The disruption in this natural cycle occurred about a million years ago, altering the Milkovitch Cycle to a pattern of freeze and thaw over a longer time period of 100,000 years. This disruption was observed during a time when carbon dioxide levels were at their lowest. Dr. Tom Chalk of the University of Southampton explained that the Antarctic ice cores showed changes in atmospheric CO2 during this disruption in climate.
"CO2 was low when it was cold during the glacials and it was higher during the warm interglacials – in this way it acted as a key amplifier of the relatively minor climate forcing from the orbital cycles."
Dr. Chalk noted that the ice core records are only measurable up to 800,000 years ago. In order to study carbon dioxide levels during the transition periods, the team had to devise a technique that examined the boron isotopic composition of the shells of ancient marine fossils. Their best bet was to study tiny marine plankton called "foraminifera." These plankton once lived near the sea surface and harbored the chemical makeup of their environmental conditions when they swam the seas over a million years ago.
Professor Gavin Foster explained that the research team was able to use boron isotope measurements to obtain variable measurements in atmospheric CO2 from up to 1.1 million years ago. He explained that there were two main differences:
"[F]irstly, during the glacials before the MPT, CO2 did not drop as low as it did in the ice core record after the MPT, remaining about 20-40 parts per million (ppm) higher. Secondly, the climate system was also more sensitive to changing CO2 after the MPT than before."
Looking further, NERC Independent Research Fellow Mathis Hain used a biogeochemical model to determine why glacial aged CO2 declined by 20-40 ppm. Their models determined that the lack of CO2 during the MPT coincided with a drop-off in dust to the Southern Ocean. During the normal glacial periods in the Milkovitch cycle, higher concentrations of dust brought necessary levels of iron to the Southern Ocean, encouraging the growth of phytoplankton. During the time-frame when there was less CO2 in the atmosphere, there wasn't enough iron or phytoplankton and this locked more CO2 away in the deep ocean.
In other words, climate change during this era was caused by a complex series of factors including ocean currents, iron content of dust returning to the Southern Ocean, the subsequent loss of phytoplankton growth, the locking away of CO2 in the ocean bottoms, and the lack of CO2 returning to Earth's atmosphere. The researchers commented that the less dusty climate conditions after this altered MPT could be caused by ice sheet formation and atmospheric circulation, too.
The complexity of the Earth's climate, its natural cycles, and its relationship with celestial cycles should not be trivialized just to advance a sensationalist climate change agenda that blames human activity for the demise of the planet. For the most part, the Earth's climate is beyond man's control. (Related: Major climate change study just confirmed the climate was changing dramatically in the 1800s, long before the invention of the combustion engine.)

My name is Emily Smith, I am a graduating senior with a double major in Art History and Religious Studies. I have been working in the Archives as an Archival Assistant over the past semester.
Stage prepped before a performance in San Domenico Church, Alba in 2010. San Domenico Church was the unique location of many performances throughout the duration of the Alba Music Festival.
One project that I worked on this semester while a student archival assistant at the St. Mary's college of Maryland archives was the sorting of digital photographs of the Alba Music Festival from 2005-2011. Working with images is part of my background as both an Art History major and the Supervisor of the Fine Art Collections at SMCM. However, this project was different than my experience working at the art gallery. The purpose of image analysis in Art History is often to identify its aesthetic and contextual qualities, and engage with the intent of the artist and the experience of the viewer in turn. This project required that I treat the photographs as documents and information, and think critically about its place within the Archives. The first question I was trained to ask was similar to what we think about in Art History, which was 'what information is the photograph telling me?' The second question was slightly different, and a new technique for me when thinking about images. It was 'how is that information relevant to the college and the Archives?
The first step of the project was to look at each individual image, and decide which photographs should be added to the archive's permanent digital collection and which ones to separate, or remove from the collection, because their content was redundant. In this digital age, sometimes people transfer an entire SD card from a digital camera without any editing process, and archives are left with dozens of images which, from an archival perspective, are superfluous. The field of Archival Science provides impartial guidelines for thinking archival appraisal and issues such as uniqueness, and compels us to always ask ourselves what the archive is trying to document with a collection. The images could be deleted due to redundancy, irrelevance, or poor image quality.
When faced with multiple images of a subject deemed relevant to the Archives, it was easy to utilize some of the skills I learned as an Art History student, such as visual literacy, or being able to understand visual symbols, cues, and motifs. At this point, I could have a little bit of fun and choose from the redundant images based on their visual clarity or level of visual interest they could offer to a future researcher. Following the initial sort of the images, I accessioned each remaining image and provided it with a title and a caption, and picked subject headings from both the Library of Congress Subject Heading authority, as well as the pre-determined terms from local vocabularies. This was done in order to help people navigate future research or other uses of this image collection. It was interesting to engage with these digital images and parse out their most important details while thinking about what information within the image would be useful to someone looking back through this image collection at a later time. I had to think both about what information stands out to me now, and then hypothesize what information would be relevant to researchers in the future. In total, the Alba image sort was a useful experience in thinking about photographs and digital images from different perspectives, and engaging with them in dynamic new ways.
Guest Post by Rosie Hammack, Sullivan Scholar summer intern in the SMCM Archive. Among other tasks, she is describing the letter collection of St. Mary's Female Seminary-Junior College alumna Katherine Tenney '37 (sister of national archery champion Jean Tenney '34), who wrote home nearly every day during her time at St. Mary's.
"Everything has so many 'maybes,'" laments 18-year-old Katherine Tenney in a letter sent home on a mid-October afternoon in 1936 (one of 131 included in the collection). It's true—the world for Katherine Tenney was riddled with maybes. Nearly every letter in the collection includes a battery of "ifs" and "thens." In the 1930s, travel plans were rarely secure. Letters got lost in the mail. Mailing addresses went missing or became obsolete. Compared to our modern era of information, her's was a world of inconvenience.
And yet, in the weeks that I have spent describing her letters, I have come to enjoy that inconvenience. Saved without return letters, the Katherine Tenney collection is a conversation cut in half; uncertainty is webbed into the experience of reading it. Through the effort it takes to put the puzzle back together (and to learn to accept the missing pieces), that uncertainty has helped me forge a bond with its maker.
To be clear: this was a slow and often frustrating process. Katherine's letters are stream-of-consciousness. Many are jumbled and repetitive, often broken up by curt, stilted sentences and requests for money or apples or bowstrings. Yet through these letters Katherine sustained strong ties to her family and friends. And amidst the daily tedium, the affected courtesies and the petty drama, the poignancy of genuine human connection occasionally shines through.
Cryptic as this card may be, it isn't a challenge to imagine the 18-year-old girl who wrote it. Between the hurried lines of cursive we can see her bent over her desk, writing and scrapping and writing again, pen working feverishly to combat some unknown tragedy. And somehow, in this one-sided interaction between conscious reader and eternal writer, the unknowns bring this moment alive. The specifics are blurry, ill-defined, and, at the end of the day, unnecessary. I understand. Through uncertainty, I am allowed access to a tenuous but intimate bond. For a moment, "up in air," I sit with her.
We live in an age of instantaneous information, with constant access to much of the corpus of human knowledge. We have done away with the inconvenience of unknowing. In that space, it seems we may be missing something profound.
Hello archive followers! My name is Taylor Schafer. I am a rising senior and I have been interning in the SMCM Archives all summer. This is the first of three Blog posts.
The Archives is located in the basement of Calvert Hall and houses collections of artifacts, newspapers, photographs, letters, and publications relating to both St. Mary's College and St. Mary's County history. One of the main areas where College and County history interact is the SlackWater Oral History Collection. My task this summer was to add to this resource by conducting and transcribing interviews of local residents and community leaders, alumni, and longstanding faculty or staff who all have had an impact or were a witness to certain time in local history. In addition, I have been working on my St. Mary's Senior Project (SMP) this summer, which involves conducting interviews with alumni, faculty, and staff. My project topic focuses around students traditions through the years and the 7 Wonders of St. Mary's. The interviews I have been doing are helping to piece together the social history of St. Mary's, which I hope to help publish with my completed SMP.
My main responsibilities this summer have included brainstorming and reaching out to potential interviewees, preparing for interviews, conducting interviews, transcribing interviews, following up with interviewees if needed, and organizing transcribed interviews for the SlackWater website and preserving the audio files. I have conducted some interviews on campus and have also travelled as far as Prince George County for others. Over the past nine weeks, I have transcribed over 220 pages of interviews, conducted ten interviews, some of which include with former College president Joe Urgo, Jayson Williams '03, Trinity Episcopal Church Rector John Ball, and Executive Director of Three Oaks Center Lanny Lancaster. I have had several learning opportunities this summer in the Archives besides learning how to conduct oral history interviews.
Of course, working in the archives, I've learned a large amount of content about St. Mary's history as well. There's so much history housed in the Archives that most community members do not realize. For instance, did you know that a 1900 graduate, Emily Louise Clayton Bishop, studied sculpture with Auguste Rodin and has artwork in several museums? How about that famous sculptor Hans Schuler designed and sculpted the Freedom of Conscience statue in 1935, and his son, Hans Schuler Jr., carved the College seal in 1970? There is so much fascinating St. Mary's history to be uncovered in regards to the College and region. My work in the archives this summer has helped me not only realize that but also contribute to that material.
Next week I will write a Blog Post about memory and oral history interviews. The following week I will touch upon the interviews with former presidents Joe Urgo and Jane Marget (Maggie) O'Brien, and transcripts of these interviews will be made available to the public.
Movie star and model Kay Aldridge, best known for playing the title role in the 1942 movie serial "The Perils of Nyoka," is a 1934 graduate of St. Mary's Female Seminary High School. Then existing as both a high school and two-year junior college, Katherine Gratton Aldridge entered St. Mary's in the Fall of 1931 as a Sophomore after attending one year of high school in Westminster, Maryland. She was born in Tallahassee, Florida and grew up in Lyells, Virginia. Kay was from an artistic family as Cornelia C. Aldridge, Kay's mother, notes that she is an art teacher and artist.
Timeless W.W.II-era St. Mary's Scrapbook as True Today as it Was Then.
As a soon-to-be graduate nearing the halfway mark of my last semester, I am struck by several things.
The impending doom of graduate school responses. The frantic job search. The panic of last minute OneSearches for that final, perfect SMP secondary lit source. And, of course, the already pervasive feeling of nostalgia as we walk down our always comforting campus path, considering the speed with which our time here is coming to an end. A comfort to those of us leaving St. Mary's, however, is the timelessness of this place, as is reflected in a new collection of online images in the college's archives – the scrapbooks of Doris Ann "D.A." Hughen, née Miller, class of 1945.
D.A.'s time here was, in some ways, very different than ours. Her college experience coincided with World War II, as is depicted in her photograph taken with a military cadet from Charlotte Hall Military Academy and her snapshot of a military sea plane on St. Mary's River.
Of course, her time was different in more laughable ways, too.
But then we see photographs like these, where you can see yourself as clearly as you see Doris laying by the docks with friends, or ice skating in the winter, or peering out over the Garden of Remembrance in one of those rare, quiet moments we have grown to appreciate.
As we go to seek the next adventure, let's keep in mind that we are not alone in our love for St. Mary's. Far from it. Even as we leave her for a while, she doesn't leave us.
The laugh-ter we were glad to share still ech-oes thru the years.
Many St. Mary's graduates have gone on to careers in Information Studies, a field that includes library science and archives. Eight history majors in the last two years alone have chosen to attend the "iSchool" (Information Science School) at the University of Maryland. To address the growing interest in the field among St. Mary's students, in the Spring of 2015 the Museum Studies Department will be offering Introduction to Archives and Information Science, a 2 credit course.
Included among St. Mary's alumni in the Information Science field is Jennie Thomas '95, head archivist of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. She graduated from St. Mary's of College of Maryland with a music degree, and after studying music education at the graduate level for a time, as well as working music retail, she finally entered the field of librarianship as way to combine her interests in a variety of subjects. Looking back on the education courses she took at St. Mary's, she says that it provided her with a foundation for working as head archivist at the "Rock Hall" by learning about ways to teach, put together exhibits, and capture the imagination. This education background, coupled with her St. Mary's vocal degree, helps her contextualize rock and roll in a historical framework.

List of known pre-1941 St. Mary's alumni now available on the SMCM Archives website!
Did you ever wonder if an ancestor attended St. Mary's College of Maryland when it was a female seminary? Or wanted to know who was voted "cutest girl" by her classmates in 1925? And did you know that seminary alumna Emily Louise Clayton Bishop (1900) was a prize-winning artist who studied under Rodin in Paris?
The St. Mary's College of Maryland Archive is actively compiling a list of all known St. Mary's Female Seminary and Junior College alumni up to the year 1940. Due to a fire in Calvert Hall in 1924, many records are lost to history. In an effort to recreate a list of alumni, extant commencement programs were transcribed and information was gathered from the alumni office. Other sources used include the 1925 Pepper Pot yearbook (another yearbook would not appear until 1948), and J. Rederick Fausz' 1990 book Monument School of The People.
Commencement programs sometimes listed salutatorian or valedictorians, which are also noted in the alumni list. Occasionally, lists of prize-winners were also available, sometimes from the notes of M. Adele France herself (principal/president from 1923-1948), and these are also noted. For example, Dorothy Hope Hodgkinson of Piney Point won the 1929 Goerge Narbury Mackenzie Prize Essay award. Known photographs, surnames of husbands, and other informational tidbits are also included in this new online resource.
Future additions to the list will include: information gleaned from searching the St. Mary's Beacon newspaper for evidence of 19th Century alumnae, names from the historic photos database, and further investigation of the scant student records.


Then this is just what you need!
Oh Danica Patrick, how could you have wronged me so badly!
Go Daddy can Go F^(k themselves!!!! That's right, Go Daddy are sorry Mac Daddy Assholes! I've been trying for nearly THREE WEEKS to purchase a domain name. For some reason the transactions keep getting cancelled and I have to wait almost a week just to get it released so I can try to purchase it again. After 3 attempts with the Mac Daddy Assholes I went with a hosting reseller of the M D A-holes. The purchase went through relatively smooth last night and I felt relieved I was finally able to secure this domain.

First some idiot cancels my account (computers don't push buttons), then they "Thank Me" for being a customer? WTF?! When I call the number listed to find out what happened I get the standard canned answer "I'll send an email to the XYZ Dept and have them get back to you in 24-48 hours" No the answer I was looking for! I will not be waiting that long for Mac Daddy A-holes to get back to me! Hopefully in another week when this domain gets released again, I'll have found a more dependable domain/hosting company to handle my business needs.
Sure you can save some money, but if you want extra time and aggravation, go with the Mac Daddy A-Holes of web hosting.
Hang up your cell phone, you may save a life!
Enough is enough. I mean it's bad enough that people feel it necessary to talk on their cell phones while driving. Never mind calling to say you'll be a few minutes late to pick up your child at the daycare or to let your assistant know that your proposal needs to be faxed to your potential future client before the meeting. No, those things don't matter the important things are stuff like telling your girlfriend that new guy at the gym was so cute. Or letting your buddy know two kegs won't do for the weekend bash, make it three. THAT is the stuff people find so important talking about on their cell phones while driving in their cars!
What the person was talking about last night on their cell phone while driving, I do not know. Then again I do not care. I can tell you I know for sure it was NOT as important as the procession of fire trucks and ambulances five cars back trying to make it through the intersection but were unable to. Yes, while standing on the corner waiting for the light to change so I could cross the street, I heard a siren. I looked up to see a couple fire trucks and an ambulance trying to make it into the intersection to turn left. People were aware they were there. No mistake about it. You would have had to be deaf and blind to not notice. Cars were stopped on all sides of the intersection. The vehicles in front of the first fire truck started to edge into the intersection slowly. But then the first car stopped! Why? They weren't moving. 30 seconds go by, then one minute. Another 30 seconds and the first car inched out a bit more. Then I looked to see what the confusion was. The IDIOT in the first car blocking all the others was on their cell phone! WTF?! The are emergency vehicles attempting to get to an obvious emergency and this dumbass plainly was more concerned with wrapping up their phone call.
It bothers me when cell phone drivers hold me up from reaching my destination in the allotted time period I set for myself to get there. But this really irritated me! What if they were trying to get to someone I know to help them? What if they were on their way to your place? Those few precious minutes they were held up by the fool on their cell phone driving the car ignoring the emergency vehicles could have made the difference between life and death.
Do us (me, them and yourself if you care) a favor. If you talk on your cell phone, pull off to the side if the call is of a personal nature, or if it is of an important urgent business matter. If you feel you absolutely have to drive and talk at the same time, consider using a hands free device. In the end whether you save yourself or a family members life or even someone you don't know, it will be well worth it!
Drive safe and drive alert.
Computer Technical support or lack of it?
I sent my laptop off for repair around 6 weeks ago. It was still under warranty which was good so I wasn't worried about the bill. The retailer where I purchased the laptop and also dropped it off for repairs called yesterday to let me know it had returned and the repairs were complete.
I head over tonight after work to pick up my computer. It takes the guy 10-15 minutes to track down the whereabouts of it. When he returns with it, the first thing I noticed was the key on the keyboard that had fallen off I specifically requested to have put back on was not. Not only that but the guy couldn't even find the key that I sent along with the laptop. I ask him what the deal was. He proceeds to explain in retail terms "although the first repair was covered under warranty, the key falling off was considered wear and tear" therefore they did not reattach it.
I'm thinking (out loud of course) Why didn't they at least contact me, tell me it wasn't covered and would I like to have it fixed anyway? "No clue" he says. Apparently not. If they brought a car in for and oil change and the mechanic noticed the tire going flat, should he let it be just because that wasn't what they originally came in for? Just an analogy, but I'm sure you see my point.
Luckily, the tech guy at the counter was willing to help. He snagged a key off one of the floor models, and proceed to fabricate it (wasn't the same exact one) so it would fit and at least cover the gaping opening in the keyboard. Very nice of him and I of course thanked him.
So out of incompetence, ignorance or just plain stupidity, comes a random kind act. Thanks for helping me out computer tech guy!
I got a new program and installed it today. When I tried to update it, I got a message saying the program subscription had expired. How could it expire if I just installed it? Well I'll tell you. My computer came pre-installed with new software programs. One of them was a program I was replacing. Only thing I didn't realize was the pre-installed stuff needs to be uninstalled in a different way.
I called up tech support and was speaking with a girl who was trying to help. Problem was she was following a script and didn't exactly help matters. After an hour, I gave up and tried it my own way. I messed with uninstalling/reinstalling, editing the registry, doing a system restore, none of which worked.
I called tech support again, this time a knowledgeable fellow took some information, guided me through a couple steps and then informed me of their "special tool" to uninstall their software.
I followed his steps as he described, rebooted the computer, reinstalled the software and Voila, it finally worked! Only took about 2 1/2 hours, but I can finally move on to other projects.
Why do these companies make it so damn hard to remove something you don't want or need anymore? I have no clue, but I'll be one up on them next time.


In the Czech Republic, if you are invited for an appointment on May 1st, you can expect the usual work or social meeting. However, if you are asked to spend May 1st with them, you can expect much more. In the Czech Republic, May 1st is a celebration of love.
Perhaps every Czech is able to recite at least a couple of verses from Máj (May), a famous poem written by the romantic poet Karel Hynek Mácha. It is Mácha's sculpture in Prague Petřín (map) where, on May 1st (or on another day of May), lovers would come with flowers to spend some pleasant time on top of the mountain, high above the city.
The celebration of May has been a Czech tradition for centuries. There is a widely spread custom of kissing your love under a blooming cherry tree or birch. Legend says that a girl who is not kissed would wither and die in twelve months. There are village balls and villagers erect maypoles, while students in cities organise Majáles (a celebration of student life).
On the evening before May 1st, single males go into the woods to cut down a tall tree. They keep the tree top and remove the branches. The trunk is then decorated with a wreath, scarves, ribbons and flowers. The Maypole is erected in the village square and guarded over night. A group of the men visit neighbouring villages, in secret, to steal their maypoles. It is kind of a competition, and the aim is to steal as many maypoles as possible. On the first Sunday of May, the villagers who did not allow their maypole to be stolen can go around the village visiting houses where unmarried girls live, and they are given little presents. In the evening they all celebrate May at the ball.
Majáles or the student celebration, honouring the spring, love and student life, has been celebrated in the CR since the 19th century. It is connected with student parades. Students get together, wearing funny clothes, and vote for the King of Majáles. In 1965, the King was Allen Ginsberg, the famous poet of the Beatnik Generation. Majáles today is usually a great music festival connected with fun and competitions to present the students' skills and competence.

One of the greatest of all Kabbalists was Rabbi Moshe Cordovero. He was born in 1522 in Safed, the city that was soon to become famed as a center of Kabbalah. At a young age, he already gained a reputation as an extroardinary genius. Besides his knowledge in Kabbalah, he was a Talmudic scholar and philosopher of the highest rank, and was widely respected in these fields. He was even one of the four to receive the special semichah-ordination from Rabbi Yaakov Beirav in 1538, along with Rabbis Yosef Caro (Cordovero's teacher in Jewish Law), Moshe of Trani and Yosef Sagis, all of whom were much older and better known than the young prodigy.
But Rabbi Moshe's main interest was the systematization of the Kabbalah, setting it into a philosophical structure. So respected was he in this endeavor that he was the first Kabbalist honored by having the word "the" added before his initials, and even today is known as "The RaMaK."
In 1542, at the age of twenty, the Ramak heard a heavenly voice urge him to study Kabbalah with his brother-in-law, Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz (author of the L'cha Dodi prayer sung to welcome the Shabbat on Friday evening). He was thus initiated into the mysteries of the Zohar, the teachings of the seminal kabbalist and Mishnaic sage, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. The young "Ramak" mastered the text completely. This failed to satisfy him, however, since its teachings are often vague, without discernible structure. In order to clarify them in his own mind, he began writing two books. The first was Ohr Yakar ("The Precious Light"), a voluminous commentary on the Zohar. The second, Pardes Rimonim ("Orchard of Pomegranates"), completed in 1548, secured his immortal reputation. The Pardes, as it is known, was a systemization of all Kabbalistic thought up to that time. Especially important was that in it the author reconciled many early schools with the Zohar's teachings, demonstrating the essential unity and self-consistent philosophical basis of Kabbalah.
Two other books for which the Ramak is known are Tomer Devorah ("The Palm Tree of Deborah"), in which he utilizes the Kabbalistic concepts of the Sephirot ("Divine attributes") to illuminate a system of morals and ethics, and Ohr Ne'erav, a justification of and insistence upon the importance of Kabbalah study, and an introduction to its methods.
Around 1550, the Ramak founded a Kabbalah academy in Safed, which he led for 20 or so years, until his passing. It is reported that the prophet Elijah revealed himself to him. Among his disciples were many of the luminaries of Safed, including Rabbi Eliyahu di Vidas, author of Reshit Chokhmah ("Beginning of Wisdom"), and Rabbi Chaim Vital, who later became the official recorder and disseminator of the teachings of the "holy Ari," Rabbi Isaac Luria.
This group of mystics adhered to the methods of the author of the Zohar, and engaged in various acts of penance order to bring about the Redemption. They would spend long hours in the fields meditating and praying, and they would visit the nearby ancient graves of different scholars of the Mishna. When the "Ari" arrived in Safed, he joined this group of Kabbalists, behaving with the utmost modesty, hoping to conceal his greatness. Only the Ramak with his pure vision realized who he was.
Before his passing in 1570, the Ramak said: "I shall soon leave this earth. Yet after my passing, someone will replace me. And even though many of that person's statements may seem to contradict mine, do not oppose him and do not argue with him, for they stem from the same source as do mine and are absolutely true. His soul is a spark of Shimon bar Yochai's, and whoever opposes him opposes the Shechinah (the Divine Presence)."
"What is his name?" the disciples queried.
"I cannot tell you. At this point, he doesn't want his identity made known. This, though, I can say: He who sees the cloud which at my funeral will precede my bed, will be my successor."
A few weeks later, on the 23rd day of the month of Tammuz, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero passed on to his Heavenly reward.
Stunned by the news of this great loss, the entire community mourned. At his funeral, which was attended by all of Safed's Jews, many eulogies were recited. Among the eulogizers was the Ari, who described the Ramak as totally free of sin.
As the throng accompanied the Ramak on his last earthly journey, all wept bitterly. When the bearers of the his holy body reached the cemetery, they continued walking a long while, until reaching a certain site. Then, turning to the following crowd, they said: "We shall bury him here, beside one of Israel's greatest sages."
However, the Ari stopped them, crying out: "Don't bury him here. The cloud which is preceding him has continued on its path. Surely it will indicate where the Ramak desires to be buried."
Hearing these words, all were stunned. Now they knew the identity of their new leader.
That very day, the Ari's fame began to spread, and scores of great scholars began clustering around him.
The Ari lived only two short years longer, and was snatched from this world at the age of 38 in a plague which struck the city of Safed in 1572. But in this short time, he revolutionized the study of Kabbalah. He was the first to explain the concept of the tzimtzum (G‑d's "contraction" of His infinite light to make "place" for creation) and many other Kabbalistic concepts. As predicted by the Ramak, although many of the Ari's teachings seemed to contradict those of his predecessor, eventually all realized that the views of the two really concurred.


Antonio Patti - Victory Medal with St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, and Defensive Sector battle clasps.
Antonio Patti - World War Service Medal was issued by the city of Jessup, PA to its citizens that served in the war.
Antonio Patti - 1930 Census, with wife Elizabeth Patti and oldest son Francis J.
Fortunato Patti was an older brother to Antonio Patti. Fortunato died of a crushed pelvis in November 1936 as a result of a mine accident suffered in October 1936. I have a copy of his death certificate. Recently I was able to discern the name and location of the cemetery where he was buried. I wanted to find out if there is a plot plan and if his grave is marked - but have not moved too fast.
Fortunato moved around, as I remember dad said, he was in Canada at one time. I found one USA entry in 1905 coming into the State of Washington by land and another entry coming into New York in 1911 by ship - the year after dad came to the USA.
Dad also had a brother, Giuseppe, who was in the USA from about 1920 to 1932.
All of dad's siblings were half brothers and sisters. Both of his parents had prior marriages that ended in death. Both wives of dad's father had the same last name. Whether they were sisters or related I do not know. His mother had 2 daughters by her first marriage and his father had about 4 children by his first marriage.


BrightPay allows users to submit their pension file submission directly from our payroll software straight into the NEST portal with one click. This payroll and pension integration will streamline the data file process, saving users significant time. The BrightPay and NEST integration or web services will make auto enrolment compliance more straightforward and remove the necessity to manually log on to the NEST web portal.
Users can approve contribution payments to NEST directly from within BrightPay payroll. Approving payments in BrightPay eliminates the need for users to log into the NEST web portal to approve payments. To avoid any overdue payments, you will need to allow enough time between submitting your payment schedule and your payment due date to ensure the payments have been cleared into NEST's bank account on time.
BrightPay allows users to check that their details are matching in both the payroll and NEST. This validation API will make the setup of the auto enrolment process faster and simplified for BrightPay users. Before now, the biggest issue with the NEST setup process was due to details entered in BrightPay and NEST not matching.
When setting up a pension scheme with NEST you will need to enter a payment source. Your payment source informs NEST as to how you are going to pay the pension contributions for your workers and where you would like any refund payments to go. The information you enter into BrightPay must match exactly how it is entered in NEST. BrightPay allows users to check and validate their payment source setup information to ensure it is correct.
BrightPay currently supports 18 automatic enrolment pension schemes including the People's Pension, NOW: Pensions, Legal & General and Aviva. Each pension provider requires information sent to them in a unique format. BrightPay allows you to create these files in the correct format. Once the file is created, users can save the file and simply upload it to the pension providers portal.
How useful will the NEST API tool be?

Being prepared for emergencies saves lives. But not everyone can access the information to help them get prepared or react safely during an emergency. Today in Canada, emergency alerts, emergency preparedness information, and the majority of the notification systems used to disseminate this information are not accessible to Deaf and hard of hearing Canadians.
As such, the Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) has undertaken a research project, funded by the Broadcast Accessibility Fund, in order to develop and provide practical, tangible recommendations to make emergency broadcasting accessible for Deaf and hard of hearing Canadians. The recommendations will be used to inform members of the national public alerting system and associated broadcasting agencies.
This research will help identify globally-accepted best practices, technology, platforms, and identify gaps and provide recommendations. Using these recommendations, an accessible emergency broadcasting toolkit will be created to assist in the development of accessible emergency preparedness information.

Session teaser
Draft ( to be discussed ) Telecom infrastructure is mostly built commercial by ISP. In unprofitable usually unserved on underserved areas Community Network (CN) is a possible alternative solution. CN are funded through donations – local, municipal of state funds or other grants. This funding disrupts markets. How to develop strategy to effectively and efficiently allocate these funds? What should be short/long term goals? What should be criteria to assess benefits and costs of non-profit interference ? How to develop strategy that provides synergy between commercial ISP and community efforts? How to make decision where to allocate public fund: subcontract ISPs, build governmental networks, support CN, generate demand though vouchers and education or anything else ?
Governmental networks
Broadband strategy
Public funds
Internet Exchange Points - IXP
Scope of the session will be focused on four essential aspects (pillars) that have to be considered for successful rural connectivity national strategy or local project.
1) Financing and how to make projects sustainable
2) Competitive element / technology neutrality – how to ensure that
3) Policies, programs and regulations ( e.g. World bank program, Easter partnership, connectivity for All)
4) Ensuring demand
Obviously there are many other aspects related to the topic of the session that can be raised during the discussion.
Session will start with Lightning Talk about "Tusheti Community Networks Project". Tusheti is the most remote, mountainous,region in the north-eastern part of Georgia.

Iconic US motorbike maker Harley-Davidson has revealed its plans for future products, including new electric models.
Harley-Davidson's first electric motorcycle, LiveWire, will launch in 2019. It will be the first in a broad, no-clutch "twist and go" portfolio of electric two-wheelers designed to establish the company as the leader in the electrification of the sport.
LiveWire was designed at Harley-Davidson's Product Development Centre in Wisconsin and will be built at Harley-Davidson's state of the art manufacturing facility in York, Pennsylvania.
Current plans are for LiveWire to be available in North America and parts of Europe first.
LiveWire will be followed by additional models through 2022 to broaden the portfolio with lighter, smaller and even more accessible product options to inspire new riders with new ways to ride.
LiveWire is the evolution of Project LiveWire, electric prototype model created by Harley-Davidson in 2014.
The company used real riders to test out the motorcycle across the world, and feedback was collected on the experiences and features of the motorcycle.
In addition, Harley-Davidson will continue to develop its line of heavyweight motorcycles, as well as new middleweight and lightweight motorcycles.
"The bold actions we are announcing today leverage Harley-Davidson's vast capabilities and competitive firepower – our excellence in product development and manufacturing, the global appeal of the brand and of course, our great dealer network," said president and CEO of Harley-Davidson Matt Levatich.

Dhaka-Thimphu to work in power, water resources & connectivity
Thursday, 20 April 2017 , 7:07 pm
DHAKA : Bangladesh and Bhutan have reaffirmed to further consolidate bilateral ties and agreed to work bilaterally and sub- regionally to boost cooperation in the areas of power, water resources, and connectivity for mutual benefit.
A joint statement issued after the three-day state visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Bhutan said today that the two countries also agreed to continue to work together for greater peace, prosperity and development in the region and beyond.
The 26-point statement said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Bhutanese counterpart Dshao Tshering Tobgay during their bilateral meeting emphasized the advantages of sub-regional cooperation in the areas of power, water resources, and connectivity for mutual benefit.
"Recognizing the importance of enhancing regional connectivity, both sides agreed to work bilaterally and sub-regionally towards that end," the statement said.
They also welcomed the proposed Trilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Bangladesh, Bhutan and India for Cooperation in the field of Hydro-electric Power on the principles of agreed regional framework.
They expressed the hope that this MoU could be signed at an occasion when leaders of all three countries would meet next.
The two Prime Ministers recognized the importance of BBIN Motor Vehicle Agreement for regional connectivity and expressed their desire towards an early operationalization of the agreement.
The two Prime Ministers recalled the strong historical ties of friendship and understanding that exist between Bhutan and Bangladesh, which was laid by His Majesty King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The two leaders expressed satisfaction at the excellent state of bilateral relations and reaffirmed their commitments to further consolidate the bilateral relations for the mutual benefit of the two friendly neighbouring countries.
They reaffirmed that relations between Bhutan and Bangladesh are based on friendly ties and reflective of their common aspiration for peace, collective prosperity and development of the region and beyond.
The two premiers discussed many areas of cooperation including hydropower, water resources, trade and commerce, connectivity, tourism, culture, education, health, ICT, and agriculture, it added.
The statement said the two sides exchanged views on cooperation in other regional and international fora including BIMSTEC, SAARC and the UN and noted the commonality of their views and positions on all major issues.
Bangladesh side offered to export more products such as readymade garments, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, jute and allied products, leather goods, toiletries, agricultural produce to Bhutan.
Bhutanese side agreed to facilitate entry of these products into its
market. They also agreed to further promote trade and investments between the two countries.
The Bhutanese Prime Minister thanked Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for taking a number of measures including opening of Land Customs Stations namely Tamabil-Dawki and Nakuagaon-Dalu, Gobrakura and Koroitoli-Gasuapara and resolving duty exemption issues on Lime Stone Powder, Gypsum and Calcium Carbonate export to Bangladesh which will further enhance bilateral trade with Bangladesh.
Recalling the ancient cultural and people-to-people links between the two countries, both sides also agreed to cooperate in the tourism sector to maximize its potential.
The statement said the two Prime Ministers noted the expanding bilateral trade between the two countries and acknowledged its importance in further cementing the friendship between the two countries.
Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay commended Bangladesh's advancement in the ICT sector, while the two leaders agreed to explore cooperation in ICT, including sharing of internet redundancy and establishment of data centers. The statement said recalling with gratitude Bhutan's invaluable support to Bangladesh's Liberation War of 1971, Sheikh Hasina said Bhutan was the first country to recognize Bangladesh on 6th December 1971.
The Bangladesh Prime Minister mentioned the genocide and atrocities
committed by the Pakistan occupation forces in 1971, it said adding that the Bhutanese side expressed understanding and sympathized with the suffering and sorrow endured by the people of Bangladesh.
The Bhutanese Prime Minister recalled the inspiring leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who left the legacy for the socio-economic advancement of Bangladesh for his vision of "Sonar Bangla", which under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina is being realized.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina extended an invitation to the King and Queen to visit Bangladesh at a mutually convenient time. She also invited Prime Minister of Bhutan to visit Bangladesh.
Tshering Tobgay congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for the success of the 136th IPU Assembly held in Dhaka from April 1-5, 2017.
The two Prime Ministers noted with pleasure the regular exchanges between Bangladeshi and Bhutanese parliamentarians and encouraged them to further enhance their interaction.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina returned home this morning from after winding up her three-day state visit to Bhutan to attend the three-day "International Conference on Autism and Nuerodevelopmental Disorders".
"The visit to Bhutan by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was highly significant as it reinforces the tradition of regular high-level exchanges between the two countries and upholds and strengthens friendship between Bhutan and Bangladesh," the statement said.
